Dr. Fuhrman interviews Michael Greger, M.D.
Michael Greger, M.D. is an author and physician specializing in clinical nutrition. He serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States, and most recently he has launched NutritionFacts.org, where he posts information on the latest studies in nutrition research in the form of short video segments.
Dr. Fuhrman: Hi Dr. Greger, it is a pleasure to know you and see the terrific work you do. Can you tell my audience about your day job?
Dr. Greger: I am director of public health and animal agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States. It is the largest independent animal protection organization in the world backed my 11 million Americans. I have been doing this for about 7 years. One of my proudest accomplishments was testifying before a congressional committee to reveal the public health implications of slaughtering downed cows for the federal school lunch program, which includes an increased risk of transmitting manure pathogens such as E. coli and Salmonella as well as mad cow disease.
Dr. Fuhrman: What was your work in the field of medicine before taking on this important position with the Humane Society of the US and what spurred your interest in nutrition?
Dr. Greger: I did post grad studies in public health and then practiced as general practitioner. However, I wanted to put a bigger dent in our health care mess, especially after seeing my grandmother suffer so much from her multiple bypass surgeries and then being sent home to die, wheelchair bound with crushing chest pain. My grandmother then became one of Pritikin's earliest adopters and I watched her actually reverse her heart disease and get well. She was able to live another 31 years after her terminal heart disease diagnosis to be 96, and enjoy her 6 grandchildren, including me. In those days it was considered a miracle cure. Then in the early 1990's after Dr. Ornish's Lancet publication I really got more interested in the nutritional reversal of heart disease as it was still the number one killer disease in America. I thought, aren't doctors supposed to heal people? In medicine today this is the exception, not the rule. Most people go into medicine to make people better; certainly I realized that nutrition had to be the cornerstone of proper health care and made it my primary interest.
Dr. Fuhrman: How do you get so much done each day? You accomplish important work for the Humane Society, yet you still speak, write and put out tremendous information about nutritional research?
Dr. Greger: I don't do it all myself. For example, I coordinate and supervise the work of 23 interns working there in Washington, pulling articles from scientific journals and reviewing the scientific literature for important studies.
Dr. Fuhrman: Do you think some of the present vegan authors seem to hide from any science that may weaken their prior (sub-optimal) pronouncements on nutrition?
Dr. Greger: Yes, I have learned it's always best to seek out the primary sources to review them rather than rely on expert opinion. Too often we hear outdated information that is ego-based and supporting old theories that have been proposed. These include extremely low fat vegan diets, without nuts and seeds, or centering one's diet around white potatoes or white rice. This is just not the best science-based advice.
Dr. Fuhrman: For example, I know you are aware that my work and findings with thousands of patients as well as that of David Jenkins in Toronto that show that my dietary advice designed to include a portfolio of the healthiest foods, outperforms those extremely low fat, high carbohydrate diet in many important health parameters.
Dr. Greger: Well this is a vibrant changing field; we just can't just come up with a hypothesis and only stick to the evidence that supports it and ignoring all the compelling data. It is a disservice to the people that depend on you for proper information and some of those authors have done that.
Dr. Fuhrman: Do you agree with the 30-55 range for optimal blood level of Vitamin D or do you think the U.S. Institute of Medicine's recent position that levels above 20 are sufficient?
Dr. Greger: I agree with you and think their conservative bias and continued recommendation to stick to only 400 IU is a big mistake. We have to consider all the data and continue to monitor this.
Dr. Fuhrman: What are you hopes for your website NutritionFacts.org? Why are the most recent findings in nutrition so important to you?
Dr. Greger: I am hoping it will fill a niche in this nutritional debate, one that will give additional information in an easy to understand manner. And given the proven power of good nutrition, I am convinced it is the answer to our health problems in America and it can have a beneficial effect on the health of the public in general. It is important that people are not pulled in by nutritional scams and dietary fiction, and become unable to take control of their health. There are tremendous negative influences by the junk food and meat and dairy industries–they have a tremendous stake in keeping a confused populace, eating unhealthfully and good science counters that.
Dr. Fuhrman: What small amount of animal products might be able to be consumed and still make a diet safe, have you thought about that?
Dr. Greger: I don't know for sure, but ideally as low as possible as long as we can make sure we have sufficient amount of all nutrients that might otherwise be sub-optimal.
Dr. Fuhrman: And what are those, what nutrients do you take?
Dr. Greger: I take algae-derived DHA and EPA, vitamin D, eat sea vegetables for iodine and of course make sure I ingest sufficient vitamin B12.
Dr. Fuhrman: Thanks for the interview; obviously I am thrilled to have someone with your degree of scientific integrity to be in general consensus with and to have mutual efforts complement each other, in order to revolutionize the health of Americans. It is a pity people are eating themselves to death, and still getting so many conflicting messages that serve to keep them confused, addicted and unhealthy.

Lacto Lesbos 4 is all about, predictably enough, ladies with milky titties getting it on with each other.
What that means is a whole lot of tit play, which, for milk fans, is pretty fun. However, what we're looking at, for the most part, is long stretches of time where two women milk each other like cows.
Not that it's always a bad thing, but it does have the cumulative effect of being sort of slow. And, since there seems to be more emphasis placed on the 'lactating' part, and not quite as much on the 'lesbians,' that might leave all but the most sincere fetishists a little cold.
It's pretty average.
Retailing: Average lesbo milk fest is lukewarm all over.

March 14th was the day in history when…
1997: President Clinton tripped and tore up his knee requiring surgery. The President was visiting the Florida home of professional golfer, Greg Norman. While going down a staircase Clinton missed a step and fell, popping his knee. The President underwent two hours of surgery later in the day to repair the torn ligament in his right knee.
1964: Dallas jury sentenced Jack Ruby to death in Lee Harvey Oswald murder. Oswald had been arrested two days earlier, accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. As the suspect was being transferred to another jail Jack Ruby approached and shot Oswald in the side. Ruby was immediately detained, arrested, and charged with Oswald's murder. On this date Ruby was found guilty and sentenced to death.
1794: Eli Whitney patents cotton gin. Whitney invented a machine that separated the seeds from the cotton, preparing it to be made into fabric. Unfortunately the inventor did not immediately patent his creation and it was quickly replicated and sold by others. Despite the patent Whitney did not make money from his cotton gin until 1807.

TC TO CHARLES B. DARWIN; 17 May 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18470517-TC-ED-01; CL 21:211.
Chelsea, May 17, 1847
There is unfortunately no recipe or "word" that can avail you. The "course of reading" or endeavour that would be wisest of all for Charles Darwin in Kentucky, will already not be quite the wisest for him in Tennessee;1 what would have exactly suited him, at his age, in 1837, will no longer altogether suit him now when the World has got ten years forwards on its course! Specific direction is and remains impossible, in such a case. You will have, as heretofore, to chose, by what of light, of manfulness and faithfulness is in your own mind, The Better and the Good from out of the boundless imbroglio of the trivial, the Bad and Base (which men of less light are eagerly following on all hands of yore); and with, your whole sorely to appropriate these, and elaborate them as you have faculty and opportunity— you then and now. It appears you have had a very fair success hitherto; and have lifted your head and shoulders somewhat out of the slough, and can look about you a little: hope confidently that the good henceforth will repay with like bounty the like fidelity of effort. I have observed this truth, even in our confused world: that whatever of real human worth a man does put into his grand enterprise, just about the same quantity of real human victory (unrecogniseable often to blockheads, but very real for all that) does he in the end get out of it;—this is an unspeakable comfort to a brave young man! But "real" human worth and human victory are, as I say, very often not so recogniseable: who knows, for example, whether your President Polk and our King Hudson2 (if you have heard of such a man, who has made 2 millions by railways here) have gained any "victory" at all,— have gained anything but a "more conspicuous exhibition of their own ugliness"; which surely is defeat and not victory? You must very particularly pray the Heavens, for one thing. Not to infect you with vulgar ambitions (literary or other), which is fatal to all nobleness in men! "Seekest thou great things, seek them not." Seek eternal things (if you know them); you will better and better get to know them, if you seek honestly. That also is a fact.
As to "reading,"— read "History and Prophecy" (if you understand these words): whatsoever of truly Interesting, has been, is, or is about to be, in this World where you have come to live,— all that authentically bears on these questions, snatch it wherever you can find it, read that with greedy heart, and on the whole read nothing else. The hugest Follies of this world are flying about at present in the shape of Books and Book-Celebrities.
Adieu. /

April 20 marks the four-year "anniversary" of the worst oil spill this country has ever seen. The Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, killing 11 rig workers and subsequently, unleashing millions of gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico.
Areas around Barataria Bay and Grand Isle, La. were particularly hard hit, but they weren't the only affected areas. Moreover, thousands of birds, other wildlife and marine life including dolphins perished, were oiled, sickened and overall left in distress. The effects on the area resonate now, which is only a shock to those either unfamiliar with garish oil spills or unwilling to accept the truth.
In the days following the "spill", BP, apparently colluding with the US Government, doused a horrific amount of a deadly dispersant in the affected areas. Called "Corexit", the cutesy name belies the sickening effects it brings to all it touches. On background, an environmentalist working in the area explained to me last year that they were, essentially, damned if they did, and damned if they didn't, but chose the lesser of two ills.
That remains to be seen as the National Institutes of Health continues its 10-year "GuLF" study of BP spill health effects, from those most affected out on the Vessels of Opportunity boat that included BP-hired personnel trying to contain the spill, to residents in the line of fire, such as around Barataria Bay.
Dr. Dale Sandler, NIH epidemiologist and principal investigator for the $19 million BP-funded study, spoke to this examiner a few days ago. We had also had a conversation three years ago when the study - which stands for "Gulf long-term followup" - kicked off.
Following is an edited transcript of our conversation.
What have been the most surprising findings from the past three years?
I don't have any surprising findings. There are no surprising findings to date. We are looking at…preliminary stages – how people are feeling one to two years after the spill – but the goal is to look at long-term effects.
Such as...?
We're looking at…what we might see based on other disasters and previous oil spills – [for example] we see increased depression and anxiety among people who worked on the oil spill as well as people in the affected region, and we are just now starting to look at other things we'd been concerned about like respiratory symptoms.
In March, 2011 you told me that your first goal was to "I.D. potential associations on a more understandable level or globally, [such as] certain work tasks or [whether one was] involved in opportunities to [be] exposed to chemicals. If we can drudge [sic] links between what they [the volunteers in the study] did and their health ...and what they are reporting, whether there are other diseases, then as we delve further into the project we can can look at influences of 'underlying factors' [in a person's health].
Genetic susceptibility might influence how responsive somebody is to chemicals so we will be looking into that."
Have you learned anything specific about genetic susceptibility during these three years? Also, if someone is exposed to deadly chemicals, such as Corexit, really how important is it to parse out "genetics" in the equation? Corexit has been proven to be very toxic and even deadly.
We have not really tackled that piece of the study yet. We've just started on the first piece – 11,000 home visits – [and there are] lots of people to study – and we are just starting to look at [criteria such as] people who live in the Gulf versus don't; who worked on the oil spill versus not; and we are .... waiting on exposure experts, such as hygenists and chemical experts, to pull together measurement data taken during the course of the spill so we can really "ID" [what happened to these people].
We can "guess" if it was dirty [and toxic to work on the spill] but if we have measurement data, we can say there was higher exposure. But we are a few months away from doing that.
We collected people's blood and we are beginning to extract DNA from blood, so over the next year or so we will do more focused investigation(s).
How is it, or is it, possible to learn anything about people's anxiety or depression from their blood? And from what I've read, you have started by focusing on the mental health aspect of this study.
There are no biomarkers for depression and anxiety, but there are for stress, and we plan to use [those biomarkers]. ...One thing most different [in terms of parsing out the stressful effects of the spill] for people in [the Gulf] community is that we can't use blood samples we collected one to two years after the spill.
Chemicals related to oil, like benzene, only last in the blood for less than 24 hours, so in the absence of an ongoing oil spill …anything we measure is a result of other [events] …daily oil spills, general air pollution, cigarette smoking, most importantly, [which] exposes people to benzene.
I understand that mental health was your first focus. Why is this/was this?
We know from previous oil spills and other natural and environmental disasters that the entire exposure is disruptive in the community, and mental health effects are the first things you see. After the EXXON Valdez [oil spill], and other spills, after Three Mile Island [nuclear meltdown], World Trade [9-11], one of the most salient, obvious things was increases in depression and PTSD, and these mental health impacts impact the perception of health and actual physical health.
One of my concerns and observations is that many residents of the Gulf do not have or have adequate health insurance. But this study is part of the multi-million-dollar BP settlement right? Even so, what's the guarantee that visits are covered and objective?
There is no cost for participating and it's really about research. Clinical exams focus on research, do reports … screen and do things that are useful… On the next level of exams, we will let them [sick Gulf residents] know if they have problems with lung function or need a workup for diabetes, [for example].
Money we got early on was part of the gift to the NIH from BP and was separate from any settlement. Most recent settlement funding [involved]…piecing out …[where there was a] need for people exposed to chemicals [to receive attention, and that will factor in] as we begin the next round of clinical exams. As we I.D. people in need of more [concentrated services]…we can connect them through the network, but it's [the GuLF study funding from BP] entirely separate [from the funds going directly to Gulf claimants, through the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee] .
How are are you accurately assessing results? Mental health, in particular, can be very tricky to assess.
It is important that we are not making a clinical diagnosis, but we do use standardized scales, questionnaires that are used in other settings …you might ask somebody, [for example] twelve questions…[and from that, determine] that these people who score the worst are the most likely to, if you examine them, if a psychologist saw them, would actually make that clinical diagnosis [of PTSD or another mental health diagnosis]. We will do more extensive testing using these and additional structured scales. Some people we are interviewing every six months, to look at changes over time, then clinical exams done in person, using standardized testing using structured [questionnaires]…
People who score high will be given information about where they could [go to see someone to help them.] …We are identifying all of the resources in the community, state and local government resources funded thru the BP settlement, where people can go if they qualify and receive care for free or at a reduced cost.
NIH does not pay for this. Administration of care [is paid for either by the individual or at a reduced rate or by BP, at certain hospitals/clinics.]
In your study, have you been able to draw a delineation between what are oil spill health effects and what was/is caused/being caused by Corexit?
This is our goal. We have devoted tremendous resources to characterize exposures. We do this by pulling together external data… measurements in the breathing zone for people standing over the fire [from the Deepwater Horizon rig], and doing certain cleanup tasks. And what we are really hoping is to sort this out, which is, in part, why the study is so large. We are distinguishing from those who lived there and did a specific job, from [those who did not live there or perform direct jobs related to the spill.]
We need to collect information about exposure to the oil, link it to a job and a task at the time of the spill, and apply a number to it – a scale from most exposed to least exposed. ... And we are doing this without benefit of a biomarker.
When you do a study like this you think, 'Oh, if I only had a biomarker, I could really zero in. But the same problem where we can't know and measure blood today [and how it relates to a few years back, at the time of the spill] exists when studying day-to-day volatile compounds. In some ways, having a biomarker would be a distraction.

not for me,
Thread: Hanae Mori him turns into LDDM?
I came back from the store with one spray of Hanae Mori's Him, and it's ok like warm, woodsy, a bit of cinamon etc.. But I thought it is too synthetic to my nose.
Now after almost two hours I'm getting a sweet cedar wood that reminds me of Tauers L'Air du Desert Marocaín. So I'm just a little bored and was wondering if anybody ges that too.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
not for me,
AUSSIES, join our exclusive niche split club.
Currently splitting:

and many more niches up for split...
IMO, no.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Mmm... Never mind then.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
I do enjoy Hanae Mori HiM though. I've worn both the EdT and the EdP (and I own and adore L'Air du Desert Marocain)
Yeah Him it's really not bad (considering lately designer releases) I just thought I found a cheaper version of Tauer's master piece so I don't finish my bottle so fast
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
I'm wearing L'Air du Desert Marocain today. I'm about 14 hours in it right now. I'm guessing that you find a bit of a similarity between the later stages of LDDM, where the louder spices have faded away and it becomes mostly sweet, and the early stage of Hanae Mori HiM (yes, it's actually called HiM, which looks dumb, but I get it. Hanae Mori is highlighting their initials. Whatevs).
I think I see a bit of the similarity you're getting, but these are two such completely different scents. LDDM easily wears an entire day on me, meaning from a morning shower until I go to bed. Few fragrances really do that and even fewer do it well. In that sense, nothing is a substitute for LDDM.
I get good longevity from HiM. Nothing outrageous like LDDM, but quite good. HiM is more of a sweet spicy. It's less daring and more of a happy-go-lucky people pleaser. Quite frankly, it's good stuff. As I said, it's no substitute for LDDM if you're looking for a smell-alike.
That being said... substitute is such an interesting word. I wear LDDM on dates. Not first dates, but definitely 3rd dates, etc. In that sense, HiM could be a substitute for LDDM. It doesn't smell the same, but it could be worn for situations where you might have worn LDDM. And since it's safer than LDDM, it might even work it on a first date if the weather is cool.
Personally, I don't worry about conserving LDDM. It's strong stuff, so I never wear more than 3 sprays of it. 3 sprays, 2 times a week... that bottle will last a long time.
Yeah that's exactly what I meant.
Two hours into HM, reminds me of those last stages (like in ten hours or so) of LDDM. i'd never dare to say they smell similar. That would be sacrilege!
Thanks man!
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
I tried both concentrations of HM but didn't wow me. I got the EDT for a friend and his girlfriend loves it. The poor guy used to wore Axe. That was about two years ago. So thats why on this ocacion I was trying Him.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

How Much Does Dog Cremation Cost?
Dog cremation is one of the options that you have once your dog has passed away. Although the pain may not be in the same degree as losing a beloved spouse or human family member, losing a pet dog can be very difficult, especially if you had been sharing your life with it for a long time. The death of a family pet is sadly inevitable, but hopefully you can prepare yourself and your loved one for the time when it happens. We can show to our beloved pets that we still care for them by giving them a decent memorial service. We can either have them buried in the ground so we may be able to visit it each time we want to or we may cremate their bodies and keep their ashes with us. Cremation, however, is more practical and environmentally friendly thing to do, and many people are becoming inclined to use this kind of pet disposal. Cremation is also more convenient since you will be able to see and connect with your pet anytime you want rather than having to go to the burial spot.
How much does it cost?
- There are two main types of dog creation: individual and mass. An individual cremation is one in which your dog is cremated alone and the ashes are retrievable. In a mass cremation, your pet will be cremated with many others. On average, dog cremation is going to cost $50 to $300. Individual cremation is going to cost more than a mass cremation, where the dog will be mixed with other pets.
- According to Cremationresource.org, the typical cost of dog cremation is around $50 to $150.
- About.com says that the average cost of private dog cremation is around $150 to $300 while mass or community cremation usually costs around $50 to $150.
What are going to be included?
- If a private cremation has been chosen, the dog owner will get his pet's ashes after it is cremated. Your pet's ashes will be returned to you in a plastic bag that is kept inside a decorative box.
- If you choose to purchase a special memorial box, your dog's ashes will be put in this box for you rather than being put in a generic one. This way, you will not have to worry about handling and moving the ashes yourself.
- Mass or community cremation means that, since your dog is going to be cremated along with other animals, its ashes will not be returned to you. Instead, they is disposed of in a private cemetery or taken to a landfill.
What are the extra costs?
- You have to pay extra if you want your dog's ashes kept in a special ornamental box, figurine, or urn. You may obtain such memorial box or urn either from the pet crematories or buy it from elsewhere. There are many places online that offer these types of boxes.
- You also have to pay extra if you prefer individual cremation for your dog.
- Some dog owners choose to set up a memorial for the dog including a picture and other memorabilia. This set up will be an extra cost if you choose to do it.
Factors that influence the price:
- The cremation cost can vary according to the weight and size of the dog, where you are located, and the type of cremation you prefer.
Tips to know:
- Choose a reputable company to do the cremation of your dog to ensure that you will be getting only your pet's ashes. This means that the ashes are free of any other animal's remains.
- There are varied ways to memorialize your pet, such as using a lock of fur, the dog's picture, or a little quantity of its ashes.
- There are three types of dog or animal cremation, namely: mass or community cremation, private cremation, and individual or priority cremation.
- In a mass or community cremation, multiple pets are cremated at the same time and their ashes are either put in a private cemetery grounds or disposed of to a local landfill.
- In a private cremation, there are at least two pets cremated simultaneously, but they are physically separated by a cremation brick. Then, the ashes are processed in a commercial blender to achieve that fine consistency and to remove visible bone fragments.
- In the individual cremation, there is only one pet cremated in one cremation unit at a time.
Questions to ask:
- Will other pet dogs mourn over the death of their fellow dog?
- Is it alright to show to my other pets the dead body of my dog?
How can I save money?
- Consider the mass or community cremation since it is much cheaper than the other cremation options.

One last week of freedom and big shop update to celebrate it! Thursday afternoon, around 2pm (gmt+2) I'll be listing plenty of new books and brooches to Paperiaarre Etsy shop, and if I'm on a creative flow, maybe a little something extra too.
Here's a sneak peek of the first two finished books in bags. The more colorful ones are still waiting to be sewn.
The darker button reads "Siro Suomi" - delicate Finland. And the another is just a little rusty.
Easter was quite nice, but even nicer was to find Mignon chocolate eggs on sale today. Mirkka wrote a great blog post about them on Oprikka. Now I'm fully content with today's chocolate intake.
Another reason for happiness is yet another award! Yvette of Paperfaerie gave me this wonderful award, that I really should give to five other bloggers. It's so difficult to choose! I can't make any decisions right now, but I'll reserve the right to give the award at a later stage.

Shop update on Thursday afternoon!

The new work looks wonderful! I am going to miss you so much when you go to work! It's not fair!! Boo!! I love the half price easter eggs too and bought some yesterday.ReplyDelete
I won't be gone for good! It's not a full time job, so I think I'll still have time and energy to make books too. I may not update as often, or maybe I'll write more posts about things other than my creative work. We'll see how life arranges itself :)ReplyDelete
I love the book with the tiny key. It's so simple and sweet. I'm glad you won't be gone for good when you start working :)ReplyDelete
loving these old buttons.ReplyDelete

Maaike Schoorel EXHIBITED AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY
Maaike Schoorel
The Visit
oil on canvas
164 x 244.5 cm
Though SchoorelŌĆÖs paintings are developed from photographs, how she interprets these is very intuitive, as is the decision about what information to include or omit. Each brush mark and gesture is designed to refute concrete resolution; some appear as impalpable shadows or stains, while others have a slightly holographic effect. Schoorel drafts The Visit with an expert understanding of colour, and uses minute shifts in tone to magnify her paintingŌĆÖs ambience and evoke psychological reaction. ŌĆ£The colours come to you like music comes to you,ŌĆØ Schoorel explains. Her paintings are often initially ŌĆśfeltŌĆÖ before they are ŌĆśseenŌĆÖ; they provoke a subconscious recognition before they are understood visually.
Maaike Schoorel
The Cruise
oil on canvas
122 x 172.5 cm
Schoorel has commented that ŌĆ£we are used to looking at images in high or instantaneous speed. Media such as television and the Internet present everything in a disjointed way. My paintings reveal themselves in slow time. I try to make images that have a sense of connection. For these paintings I worked from family photographs, but I was specifically interested in scenes which relate to genre painting, such as landscapes or group portraits. We are used to seeing these types of images, and my work changes the order of how we view them: once you discover one detail it will link to another, creating a sense of movement and interconnectedness.ŌĆØ
Maaike Schoorel
oil on canvas
156.5 x 215 cm
Looking at SchoorelŌĆÖs images one has the sensation of looking at a projected or hovering presence in an illusory space beyond the flat picture plane. Executed in micro-thin layers her mark-making has the effect of being indelibly penetrated or melded into the fabric of the canvas. Her paintings suggest something that is simultaneously there, but not there, and draw the viewer in as an active participant in interpreting and decoding the image.
Maaike Schoorel
The Picnic
oil on canvas
137 x 203 cm
Maaike SchoorelŌĆÖs canvases are near invisible planes which invite sustained contemplation; from their soft, barely perceptible tones images will begin to appear, and eventually resolve as quite detailed scenes. SchoorelŌĆÖs painterly apparitions are a result of the power of suggestion, her delicate gestures and subtly shifting hues provide only the scantest impressions, provoking the viewerŌĆÖs subconscious to cogitate the visual cues. When looking at her paintings, not everyone sees the same things at first: your eye might catch a glimpse of a red apple which may lead you on to notice the shade of someoneŌĆÖs eye or hair, or vice versa. Schoorel sees her work as a way to explore the hierarchy of perception.

BlackBerry's Big Revival Is Not Going So Well
Your daily reminder that RIM is dead.
A while back, we wrote in these pixelated pages that the death of Research in Motion, the Canadian company that makes the BlackBerry, was fait accompli.
A massive influx of angry e-mails from BlackBerry fans immediately followed, as did a call from RIM's corporate PR office, which insisted that we weren't giving the company its due. BlackBerry 10, the much-delayed forthcoming OS upgrade, was going to be a hit with developers and carriers. And pretty soon, they insisted, the company's revival would be apace, and we'd be eating our words.
Today, as if to preempt another "dismal at best" earnings quarter with some good news, RIM gave the world an exclusive look at its new BlackBerry 10 technology, which is supposed to save the company from total failure.
It went ... not well:
RIM was unable to show off the upcoming [Facebook] app in detail. First, the app crashed. Then it appeared the device stopped exporting the video signal to the external display. And then the app failed to update.
Meanwhile, BlackBerry marketing manager Jeff Gadway sat down to give AllThingsD a preview of the new OS. It was, while better than the ill-fated Facebook app demo, not exactly heartening. (For some reason, it's hard to picture RIM fans lining up around the block for a "BlackBerry Hub," especially when Android phones have had similar unified in-box apps for years.) Neither does CEO Thorsten Heins's enthusiasm for physical keyboards seem especially forward-thinking.
But the clearest sign that the BlackBerry 10 launch is a Hindenburg in the making is the rank whiff of desperation coming from today's BlackBerry 10 Jam developer conference.
Witness Alec Saunders, a RIM marketing executive, "asking people to tweet out their reasons to believe in BB10 using the hashtag #bb10Believe," according to Engadget. Or just press play on this video, debuted today, in which Saunders lip-synchs a love song to the tune of REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You," essentially begging the platform's developers not to abandon it.
This, RIM fans, is what late-stage, irreversible corporate decline looks like.

Adventures in veggie eating
Friday, May 04, 2012
Today was my first day being a vegetarian at my boyfriend's house. I've been hesitant to tell his parents that I've stopped eating meat (and am trying to slowly cut out all animal products) for several reasons:
1) I was a vegetarian when he and I started dating, and I noticed that I wasn't invited over to eat with them that much. Once I agreed to add chicken to my diet, I was invited over more, and they were even more excited (and told me so) when I dropped the vegetarian thing all together. I'm afraid that if they know I've gone back to vegetarianism, they won't want me there as much.
2) I don't want them to think badly of me. I already have to deal with the fact that they're Republicans and I'm a Democrat. I don't want another belief of mine to make me feel like an outsider. Certain members of his family have made fun of vegetarians in the past, and I'm afraid of what they'll think of me.
3) I don't like to draw attention to myself. I eat what they put in front of me, even if I don't like it, because I don't wan them to think I'm annoying. I don't want people to make special things for me or feel like they have to do things differently because I'm there. I want to just sort of assimilate to their lives. I guess I just figure that if they don't notice I'm there, they won't want me gone.
4) I'll be honest - part of me is afraid that I'll make a big deal about this now in front of them and then will change my mind later and then they'll know that I didn't stick with my goals. I've done this before with losing weight. Who hasn't told everyone "I'm going to lose weight" and then has had to duck their head in shame later when they've gained all the weight back and then some? I don't want to do that again - either with the weight or the vegetarian thing. That's why I wanted to wait a bit more before I told them, to make sure that I'm going to stick with it this time.
It seems like today was set up to test me, to see which was more important to me, my food preferences or those excuses listed above. And I passed.
We went to Sonny's Barbecue for dinner. The only veg option was the salad without chicken (or cheese or dressing if I wanted to vegan). If that wasn't bad enough, Sonny's has this 4 person meal thing where you get 4 different types of meat, 3 sides, and bread. Since there were 5 of us (us, his parents, and his brother), they were going to get that and figure that it would be enough food.
This was my big test. Normally, I would go with whatever they wanted, even if it wasn't what I wanted, because I want to cost them the least amount of money possible. This time, though, I couldn't. I ordered a salad without chicken. I felt bad ordering it, but I did it anyway. The waitress ended up giving me a side salad instead (since she didn't want to charge me $8 for a salad without chicken, and apparently the only other option was a small salad). So I only cost them an extra $3. I don't feel so bad about that. I also ate a piece of garlic bread and a helping of macaroni and cheese.
It was hardly vegan, but it was vegetarian, and I'm proud of myself. It wasn't the most filling meal ever, but I stuck with what was best for me. It would have been so much easier to at least get the salad with chicken (since protein would have been nice), but I didn't.
Also - during dinner, his mother asked me if I was not eating meat today for a reason or because I didn't feel like it. I told her that I was trying to eat less meat but that I would still eat it at her house. I figure that's a good compromise.
I consider today a win. :)

Thanks for the support everyone!
@MelisaF - It's great that he went vegan for you! My boyfriend has agreed to eat vegan with me, but he won't give up meat completely. I appreciate that he's doing something, though. I hope his family eventually warms up to it the way yours has!
@HealthyAshley - Haha. Thanks! I completely agree with you - it's ridiculous that people make such a big deal out of the fact that other people have opted to exclude certain foods from their diets. And I shouldn't have to tiptoe around anything. I just have issues living up to that belief. It helps knowing that there are other people out there who agree with me. :)

It bugs me when people are so judgmental of vegetarians. They act like it is a personal attack that you choose to not eat meat. I find it rude that they would purposely make you feel excluded because of something that is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Who cares if you do or do not eat meat? Don't most people make vegetables or a salad with a meal anyway? You do not need to walk on eggshells with those people. I am proud of you for ordering what you want and not being bullied into eating what they want you too.

Oh, man! Have I ever been there! Luckily I was already a vegetarian when I met my husband, so his family had to sort of take me or leave me! :) What REALLY got them was when my husband (then my boyfriend of 6 mo) decided to go full-on vegan from eating meat regularly. Yep. I was basically the evil girlfriend influencing their precious baby to do bad, bad things. That eventually passed, though, when they saw how committed he was to it and how healthy he got! It was weird at first, but it's just another source of good-natured ribbing between us now. It'll get better, I swear!

Hi All,
This is related to SAP ECC 6.0. I have a requirement to add additional fields to the dynamic selections of a logical databases used within a few RE-FX std reports. So far I've managed to identify the logical databases being used as well as the technical names of the field's to be added.
The 2 logical databases is REBD & RECN but after enabling the fields by following steps as explained by many "how to" guides etc. the fields do not appear on the dynamic selections. There is obviously something I'm missing & therefore need help.
This is what I did to add the fields:
For REBD –
Tran SE36 -->Extras --> Selection views --> Origin of view: CUS --> Change --> Double click on Table/Node: BUILPROP --> Enter "01" next to fields KOSTL & PRCTR --> Save --> Tick Preselect box next to each field --> Save --> Run transaction REISBU --> Click on Dynamic selections --> Fields do not display at all.
Note: I have tried adding the fields to all Functional groups yet they still do not display.
For RECN -
Tran SE36 --> Extras --> Selection views --> Origin of view: CUS --> Change --> Double click on Table/Node: RENTALOBJECT --> Enter "01" next to field ZZR016(this is a custom field) --> Save --> Tick Preselect box next to the field --> Save --> Run transaction REISCNOA --> Click on Dynamic selections --> Field do display at all.
My understanding was that if I can see the field listed within a Table/Node within a logical database then the field can be used as a dynamic selection.
3 questions:
1. What am I missing here? Do I need custom code somewhere to get this to work?
2. How do I link or add a new "Functional group" to a report's dynamic selections?
3. How do I enable an existing node already defined within the logical database?
E.g. Referring to logical database RECN –
Tran SE36 --> Extras --> Dynamic selections -->
Only node CONTRACT is shown, yet if I go into the logical database via "Selection views" allot more nodes are shown.

Greta Cooper may be down but she won't be counted as out.
With a conviction and six month sentence looming for 22 criminal charges involving theft, Cooper is still waging a legal battle.
On Tuesday Brent Gray, her attorney, asked Criminal Court Judge Shayne Sexton for new trial in Cooper's case. Had the jury been made privy to a tape recording in which the victim said he gave Cooper not only the money but also permission to alter checks he had written to her, a different verdict may have been given, Gray argued.
An oversight at the county election office is being chalked up to human error.
As staff at the Campbell County Election Commission began work to archive documents following the November 2010 election, it was determined that nine votes hadn't been counted. While it had been recorded the nine people had cast their votes, their ballots weren't found and counted by the absentee board.
Jordan Comer, of LaFollette, recently competed at the Flip Fest Gymnastics/Trampoline and Power Tumbling competition (with over 1,500 athletes from all over the United States) held at Knoxville. She earned gold medals for her Level 9 floor routine and Level 8 double-mini trampoline performance. Comer also was awarded the silver medal for her Level 8 trampoline routine. Having just returned from The Matrix Winter Classic, a competition held in Huntsville, Ala., she won three gold medals for her performance on the floor, double-mini trampoline and trampoline.
Attempting to have Jerry Phillips's case delayed for a seventh time Keith Hatfield asked for a continuance in the pedophile's case on Tuesday.
It didn't happen.
A former Campbell County Deputy is behind bars following an appearance in court.
On Tuesday Daniel Ward, who is facing 16 sex crime charges, was in Campbell County Criminal Court.

Do you think we need a spiritual awakening in our country? A great revival in our land (the world)?
In the middle of the 19th century, spiritual conditions in the United States were deteriorating. People started making a lot of money, and when they did, they turned their backs on God.
The Campbell County Artist Association will host a special February meeting due to the weather playing havoc with the normal meeting schedule in January and February. They will meet on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Chaniott and Carroll Studio in the West LaFollette Recreation Building. They will discuss Art in the Park and Louie Bluie and plans for 2011 for the CCAA. Refreshments will be served. For more information or directions please call Karen Cumorich at 562-8468.

Arizona Women's Basketball v. UCLA Bruins
January 1, 2010
McKale Center
Coach and Player Quotes
Niya Butts - Arizona Head Coach
"Obviously we are not happy with the outcome. Certainly we want to win but I was pretty pleased with our teams effort overall. We had a couples lapses there and didn't play a complete forty minutes but some of that I'm not sure it wasn't my fault. Maybe I should have called a few more timeouts to rest us or make a few more substitutions."
"But I want to make sure I give credit to UCLA. They made some shots when they had to make them. They had some key offensive rebounds and they were able to capitalize on some of our turnovers."
"I want to make sure I do is give our team credit for fighting hard. We're certainly getting better and better every day and we've got to be ready to play USC on Sunday."
"We had some breakdowns defensively where we weren't as active as we should have been or as we were early in the ball game. They are veteran players and they knocked shots down when they needed them."
#3 Ify Ibekwe - Junior Forward
"I wanted to step up and bring as much energy as I can, especially starting Pac-10. When you start in the conference, of course you are excited and hyped. That's how I should have been playing all year and I'm trying to bring it back every game."
"The key point in the game was we needed rebounds and we came up short." "You get tired but I don't think that's an excuse. You should be active all the time. At times in the second hald we just weren't active and that's going to hurt us. If we can play hard and be active for more than 35 minutes than I think we are going to upset a lot of teams."
Nikki Caldwell - UCLA Head Coach
"Arizona did a great job of making us have to score from the perimeter. In the first half, obviously we weren't making some shots. But down the stretch we were able to make some big shots"
"They did a great job of collapsing whenever the ball was inside which made our guards have to knock down the open jumper. If you're not knocking that shot down then it's going to be a long night for any team that goes against this defense."

How can I handle my tantrum-prone toddler on the plane?
My wife and I will be traveling with our 20-month-old son on a ten-hour flight to Eastern Europe. I'm scared to death. My little boy never sits still and is at the stage where he has incredible temper tantrums when things don't go his way. Does anyone have any advice for making this flight as painless as possible for my son, and also for my wife, myself, and the rest of the passengers?

A note on benadryll... Test it out at home first. It makes some kids hyper... and that's the LAST thing you want to discover on a long flight. (We learned the hard way.)posted 01/17/2006 by othonred
Two thoughts on things to consider: Gate-checking strollers: the farther you get from the U.S., the less likely it is that your stroller will actually get brought up to the plane door as you exit, even if they tell you it will. I suggest using either the carseat that converts to a stroller, or the new strollers that convert to a backpack, so that you can take it on the plane with you and not risk the prospect of dragging tired kids through the airport with no stroller. Bulkhead seats: I personally do NOT prefer these. The extra leg room is great, but because they have to put the tray tables in the armrest, you cannot move them out of the way. The seats become like straightjackets, and your child will not be able to stretch out and fall asleep snuggled up to you. This drove me and my kids crazy, and we found these seats actually more confining. I'll take less leg room in front for the ability to stretch out horizontally instead.posted 06/06/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
We travel a lot with my 18 month old, and I recently experienced my first major tantrum (screaming, kicking, crying) while on a flight by myself (on mother's day!). Luckily, it was a short flight. But my advice is this: the major tantrum you fear is out there. It will happen, and you will be mortified and you will get over it. People sitting around you will eventually forget how bad it was and you'll finally stop worrying about how bad it's going to be. Good luck!posted 07/08/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I flew with my 13 month old when he was 8 weeks old and when he was 9 months old from New Zealand to Texas. Obviously the 8 week old was asleep the majority but i was terrified to fly with him when he was 9 months because he HATES to sit still and is very strong willed! Something clicked in him though on the plane... the combination of white noise and motion kept him MUCH calmer than i anticipated and the only time he needed to crawl around was the last 1-2 hours of the flight, which if you get the bassinet row near the bulkhead, there is plenty of room for him to explore. Never worry too much about crying babies on the big planes, the white noise really drowns out more of it than you think. Good Luck!posted 04/12/2016 by GreysonLee
Ive traveled with a 1yr old, 3yr old & a 4yr old by myself on a plane & they were well behaved. The hostesses even took the 1yr old for a bit so i could have a break. Now my kids are 12yrs, 11yrs, 9yrs old & we traveled to Italy 5yrs ago with my mum. The head air hostess was so amazed at how well behaved they were that the captain got word of it & invited them to go see him in the cockpit when we landed in Rome. There was 2 other kids sitting in front of us & they were really naughty & got upset when they saw my boys go see the captain. They asked how come they cant go to & the hostess replied back saying that they were naughty & that they captain doesn't like naughty kids...funny enough those kids were on our flight back & they were well behaved this time & got to see the captain when we landed back home. We will heading back to Italy in December 2016 for my grandma's 80th birthday but this time instead i will be traveling with 5 kids including my 3yr old son & my daughter who be 1yrsposted 12/26/2014 by a BabyCenter Member

I don't advocate the benadryl idea at all. It's great if your son could be tired at the time you start the flight so he'll be more likely to want to nap for a good part of it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with walking up and down the aisles of the plane with him when it's safe to do so. Also a key lesson I learned is that while you want to be considerate about others, don't be so overly worried about them. Focus on keeping your son happy and engaged and not so stressed about the people around you. I have witnessed a stressed out mother basically disintegrate between her baby's melt down and the encircling of other "well meaning passengers" who were all telling her what to do to calm her child. I told everyone to sit down and let the mother and her child relax on their own. Once they stepped back, she relaxed and so, of course, did her child. Extra special treats like a lollipop or other special things don't hurt to keep in your arsenal and bring a few new toys along. Good luckposted 09/29/2014 by olahmama
Snacks, iPad (with movies not games), Snacks, BINKY... More snacks... and a stuffed animal from home. You should be good... We just flew from NJ - FL ... The airport was harder to manage than the flight ... Keeping her moving and still through security and lines. TIPS FOR AIRPORT... Keep them in stroller AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.posted 06/11/2014 by RexWood
We've flown to Hawaii, California, Florida, Pennsylvania and a few other places from Illinois with our tantrum-prone youngun. I've used various different *methods*. Pediacare NightRest WORKS GREAT - especially if you keep your little one up late the night before your flight as well. This sounds terrible, but we've gone thru a couple flights where folks wanted to throw my kid from the plane! We recently got a portable DVD player...WORTH EVERY PENNY! My carry-on is packed to the max with *NEW* toys that she hasn't ever played with before. These toys come in handy at the hotel as well. Lots of snacks & SUCKERS we keep on hand. If the flight is calm, go for short walks. If you sit near the rear of the plane, there may be a little area big enough for you & your child to sit on the floor. During our flight to Hawaii, myself & 2 other mommies all had our kids sprawled in this area..a little tight, but IT WORKED! Granted it was an overnight flight & there wasn't much going on at the time, ie. no drinks being served, etc. Lately, it seems we are sitted near other families with small children. Not sure if the airline plans it that way or if it's just a coincidence. We once spent 15-20 mins. in the potty checking out everything :-) Also a nice place to visit if they get into a full-blown tantrum. Can't hear the screaming as good from in there! During the Cali flight, my daughter started to act up & I quietly asked the flight attendant to say something to her. She did & my Lily hushed right up....sometimes kids take orders from others better than we parents!! Another thing I did was take Tangy or Laughy Taffy & cut it up into bite-size pieces for a snack. Since it is sooo chewy, it took about 5 minutes for each bite to get swallowed & before I knew it, I had clocked a 1/2 hour of quiet time! This idea seems a little outrageous but I even bring little craft items like a glue stick, pop sticks, shapes of construction paper, etc. and tell my daughter to make the pilot, or MICKEY MOUSE a present. My daughter is now old enough to use her Leappad and Pixter too YEAH!!! Have a nice flight! ;-)posted 04/07/2005 by MYTMOM1
Just did a round trip from NZ to Ireland with our 21 month old.. He travelled very well... No tantrums! We introduced him to some age appropriate apps on our ipad in the weeks and months leading up to our trip.. We talked lots about planes and took him to the airport once to see them, he would spot them in the sky and became very excited by them.. He slept on my lap for a lot of the trip(2 12/13 hr flights + a 2hr + 1hr ) you really need 2 seats for them to get comfortable. We brought lots of food and snacks, a couple of fav toys and stickers which went down really well)!! Stickers, the ipad and the treats/snacks were the most valuable!posted 01/21/2014 by catriahern

What You Need
- t-shirt
- flat surface
Follow These Steps
Lay shirt flat
Working on a flat surface, lay the shirt horizontally, face up, with the collar of the shirt aligned with your left-hand side.
Pinch the shirt in the middle and at the shoulder
With your right hand, "draw" a line across the middle of the shirt (vertically, from your perspective, across the tummy). Draw a second line (horizontally, from your perspective) from the top of the shoulder closest to you, to the bottom hem of the shirt, about two inches in from the edge
Cross over your hands
With your right hand, pinch the shirt where the two lines intersect. With your left hand, pinch the shoulder along the second (horizontal) line. While holding the shirt at these two points, cross your left hand under your right wrist, and grab the bottom hem at the end of the second line. You now have the shoulder and the hem in your left hand and the middle of the shirt in your right. (It will look a little messy when you cross—don't worry about it.)
Lift and uncross your hands
Lift shirt so that it hangs in front of you. Uncross your arms, pulling the fold taut. Shake out the T-shirt, readjusting your fingers slightly so the shirt hangs down smoothly.
Make your final fold
Still holding the shirt with both hands, place it back on the surface, this time facedown (and again with the collar of the shirt aligned with your left side). Fold shirt toward you, bringing the side in your hands over the side with the left sleeve still sticking out. Smooth and store.
Tip: Fold T-shirts as soon as you remove them from the dryer to minimize wrinkles.

College Hockey:Colgate Wins Fourth In A Row
Red Raiders Continue To Move In The Standings
HAMILTON, N.Y. — Freshman goaltender David Cann extended his personal winning streak and Colgate's streak to four games with 23 saves in the Red Raiders 2-1 victory against Vermont in ECAC action Friday night.
The victory snapped Colgate's three-game home losing skid in Starr Rink. Cann has started in the last six games going 4-2-0 with a 2.18 goals against average, .927 save percentage (164 saves).
After a scoreless first period, both teams scored all the goals in the contest in a four-minute span of the second period beginning with a goal by Colgate's Pat Varecka 2:42 into the period. Bryan Long rifled a shot from the left point and Varecka deflected the puck into the top left corner of the net off the shaft of his stick for his first marker of the year.
Vermont evened the game at 5:44 of the period when Patrick Sharp scored on the backhand off a rebound on J.F. Caudron's shot from just inside the left face-off circle.
Dan Stay scored the game-winning goal 6:33 into the second period. Sean Nolan took a shot
from inside the right face-off circle that rebounded to Stay in front of the net and he put it in for his second goal in as many games after not recording a goal in his first 59 career games.
Colgate resumes action in Starr Rink tomorrow against Dartmouth. The Big Green defeated Colgate 3-2 on Jan. 12 in the first meeting this year. Vermont travels to Cornell tomorrow. The Catamounts fell 3-2 in ot in the first meeting with the Big Red on Jan. 12.

College Hockey:Three Things: Atlantic Hockey – Quarterfinals
Three things from the past weekend in Atlantic Hockey (with apologies to the band Asia):
Sole survivor
Atlantic Hockey received its first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA tournament last season, but it was clear by December that it wasn't going to happen this time around. Despite some high-profile upsets, the league's non-conference record wasn't strong and no team put together enough wins to merit a spot in the upper echelons of the PairWise.
It means that, as they say, there can be only one team to advance to the NCAA tournament. We're down to four:
No. 7 seed Canisius vs. No. 1 seed Mercyhurst
No. 6 seed Niagara vs. No. 5 seed Robert Morris
This is the lowest set of seeds to advance to the championship weekend in league history.
Prior to last year's playoffs, 28 of 29 best-of-three playoff series in league history had been won by the home team. Last season, Canisius and Mercyhurst both advanced by defeating higher seeded teams in the quarterfinals.
This season, an unprecedented three road teams won quarterfinal series.
The semifinal matchups feature a game between two of the original members of Atlantic Hockey/MAAC as well as a contest featuring a pair of teams that moved to the AHA from College Hockey America together.
Heat of the moment
In hockey, things can literally change in a moment – Friday's quarterfinal games between Holy Cross and Mercyhurst as well as Canisius and Bentley are prime examples. Both games on Friday went to overtime and both ended at literally the same moment – at 9:34 Eastern Time.
In Erie, Pa., Mercyhurst's Kyle Cook scored the game winner 4:40 into overtime to defeat Holy Cross in Game One of their quarterfinal series.
At almost the same moment 500 miles away in Watertown Mass., Bentley's Brett Switzer delivered the GWG 40 seconds into overtime in a 4-3 Game One victory over Canisius.
There was another similarity between the two games. Both winning teams scored an extra-attacker goal to tie things up with less than a minute to play in regulation. Bentley drew even on a Brent Gensler goal with 23 seconds left; Mercyhurst's tying goal came from Daniel O'Donoghue with 27 ticks to go in regulation.
Mercyhurst would go on to sweep Holy Cross, while Bentley, despite leading Canisius 4-1 in the third period of Game Two, would fall to the Griffs 5-4 in another overtime (this time double overtime) on Saturday and 3-2 on Sunday, which surprisingly ended in regulation.
(Over)Time Will Tell
The Bentley-Canisius series was a classic, with those two overtime games as well as the deciding game going down to the wire.
In all, four of the ten quarterfinal games played this past weekend went to overtime, including the third and deciding game between Niagara and Air Force. Eight of those ten contests were one-goal games.
If championship weekend can come close to matching the dramatics of the past two playoff rounds, fans are in for a treat.

Deterministic probability: neither chance nor credence

Some have argued that chance and determinism are compatible in order to account for the objectivity of probabilities in theories that are compatible with determinism, like Classical Statistical Mechanics (CSM) and Evolutionary Theory (ET). Contrarily, some have argued that chance and determinism are incompatible, and so such probabilities are subjective. In this paper, I argue that both of these positions are unsatisfactory. I argue that the probabilities of theories like CSM and ET are not chances, but also that they are not subjective probabilities either. Rather, they are a third type of probability, which I call counterfactual probability. The main distinguishing feature of counterfactual-probability is the role it plays in conveying important counterfactual information in explanations. This distinguishes counterfactual probability from chance as a second concept of objective probability.

While James Gandolfini's sensitive performance last year in Enough Said suggested a different side to him that we sadly would never get to see again, his final film is more in keeping with the actor we knew. Gandolfini stars alongside Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace in the gritty crime thriller, The Drop (formerly Animal Rescue), and the first trailer for it is here.
Co-starring Matthias Schoenaerts and directed by Michael Roskam (both of the Oscar-nominated Bullhead), the film centers on an ex-con (Hardy) trying to go straight, working in a bar that also serves as a "money drop" for the criminal underworld. When a robbery goes wrong, leading to the disappearance of his beloved pit bull, he gets sucked right back into the life he had been trying to avoid.
The Drop opens September 19th, when it's bound to get some Oscar attention.

INDIANAPOLIS — The replay aired on the big screen and the locals booed mercifully. But there was no foul call on Denver's Ty Lawson, and George Hill's 3-pointer missed at the buzzer. And look who won a close one on the road? It was the Denver Nuggets, taking Friday's game at Indiana, 92-89. Both teams are now 10-10.

Inovio Biomedical and its collaborators from Drexel University, Cheyney University, and the University of Pennsylvania have received a $2.8 million grant to develop a DNA vaccine to treat HCV.
The money, which comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, will fund preclinical studies with Inovio's vaccines. The company's candidates are designed to treat persons who are chronically infected with HCV and have not responded to currently available therapies.
Inovio's SynCon™ platform reportedly enables the design of universal vaccines capable of protecting against multiple strains of pathogens such as influenza, including newly emergent and unknown strains. The firm says that initial clinical data has demonstrated that its electroporation-based DNA vaccine delivery technology can safely and significantly increase gene expression and immune responses.
Inovio's clinical-stage DNA vaccines are all in Phase I trials. They include VGX-3100 to treat cervical cancer, VGX-3400 for avian influenza, and Pennvax-B for the treatment and prevention of HIV. University of Southhampton, Tripep, and Merck & Co. each have Phase I candidates that leverage Inovio's technology. The university is studying PSMA in prostate cancer, Tripep's NS3/4A candidate is for HCV, and Merck is investigating V934:hTERT in breast, lung, and prostate cancers.
