Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
ViroPharma is paying Intellect Neurosciences $6.5 million up front for rights to its clinical-stage OX1 candidate, which is being developed for the treatment of Friedreich ataxia (FA). Under terms of the worldwide, exclusive deal ViroPharma will be able to develop and commercialize OX1 for the treatment, management, or prevention of any disease or condition covered by Intellect's patents.
ViroPharma will also pay milestones that could amount to $120 million assuming successful advancement to market. The company will also pay a tiered royalty of up to a maximum percentage of low teens, based on annual net sales.
OX1, or indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), is a naturally occurring small molecule that has potent antioxidant properties that can protect against neurodegenerative disease, according to the companies. It is copper-binding drug compound that prevents oxidative stress and blocks formation of toxic Aß aggregates. Intellect Neuroscience says that it was developing OX1 as a disease-modifying treatment for AD and was working on establishing proof-of-concept for other diseases including Wilson disease.
In a recent Phase I study conducted in The Netherlands, OX1 was demonstrated to be safe and well tolerated at all dose levels tested. ViroPharma expects to initiate a Phase II study within 12 to 18 months after completion of longer-term toxicology studies. ViroPharma intends to file for orphan drug designation upon review of the Phase II data.
ViroPharma has two commercial products: Cinryze for hereditary angiodema and Vancocin for Clostridum difficile. Cinryze is also being developed for pediatric use in hereditary angiodema and as a subcutaneous formulation. Both programs are at the Phase II stage. ViroPharma's lead investigational candidate is buccal midazolam for seizures in children and adolescents.

I played football and basketball in high school. I was a guard in football and played under the basket in basketball. I guess I was a forward. Then, by the time I graduated from high school, I turned almost all my attention to racing. I realized that was the way it had to be, and that was the way I wanted it. I never cared about playing golf or going hunting or fishing. Racing was my life when I was young, and it still is today.
That isn't to say I have not tried other things. I have been hunting a few times-enough times to know it's not for me. I've been fishing enough times to know that catching fish doesn't do much for me, either. A couple of times I have hit a golf ball. All the while I figured I should be at the shop working on my race car.
By the time I got big enough to carry a wrench from one end of the shop to the other, my daddy was building and driving race cars. He did other things before he started racing, but once he started building and driving cars, he turned all his attention to racing.
I think my folks understood by the time my brother Maurice and I came along that racing would be our lives, too. It was not something that either one of us had a hard time adjusting to because we loved what we were doing. We'd come home from school and go to work in the shop. Daddy had a good feel for what both of us could do and what we weren't ready to try.
I did this throughout high school. When Lynda and I were dating, a lot of times we'd go places with this other couple. Well, the three of them would sometimes come by to pick me up, and a lot of times they'd have to wait in the car until I finished what I was doing. Daddy didn't let us walk away from a project until we were through with it.
I guess the first person Daddy hired full time to help us was Dale Inman. He is from the same mold. He is just like us in that he had no other hobbies. The race car was his life, and it still is an important part of his life.
I guess some of you would say I didn't have time for other things. Maybe you're partly right, but I can honestly say other things didn't interest me. Racing and race cars have always been my life.
It's still that way. I don't play golf now or go off on fishing trips. There are a few things I do to get away from the business from time to time and be with my family. We have a place in Wyoming. Lynda and I take the whole family out there every Christmas, and we go there a few times throughout the year. But I still stick pretty close to the shop most of the time and try to keep up with things.
The whole point of what I'm saying is that if you want to be a racer-whether it be a driver, an engine builder, a chassis expert, a crewchief, a crewmember, or whatever-then racing is going to take up most of the time in your life. You are going to have to hang with it, and there can't be too many distractions.
These kids (maybe I should call them young folks) who are racing on the Cup circuit right now grew up this way. They began racing go-karts at a very early age. That's what they wanted to do, and that's what they did. You don't read about them playing a lot of baseball, basketball, or football, and you don't see them on the golf course often today, either. When they're not racing, they are thinking about racing or doing something associated with racing.
Sponsors are not looking for guys 23 or 24 years old. They are looking for the young man-18 to 20-who already has 10 or more years of experience driving a race car of some sort.
I think that somewhere on down the road, fans will look back on racing today and find it difficult to believe that drivers 40 and 50 years old were still racing. "How did those old men do it?" fans will ask. The sport is going to get better and younger-and there isn't time for a game of golf, a fish on the line, a baseball bat, a basketball goal in the backyard, or a soccer ball.
If you want to grow up being a race car driver, it's going to take most of your time. If you have a lot of other things you want to do, then go ahead and do them, but let little brother have your midget race car. Maybe he'll keep dust from collecting on it.

During the Jan. 1 episode of MMA Dude Bro radio, hard-hitting knockout artist Tonya "Triple Threat" Evinger (12-6 MMA, 1-0 Invicta FC) disclosed what she would do with the money if she was to receive a contract from the UFC.
Evinger, 32, said she would use some of the cash to purchase breast implants, and that some of the rest would go towards buying a Range Rover.
"Triple Threat" is hoping to fight her way into the UFC by beating two Invicta FC champions, so she's hoping for an immediate title shot under the Kansas City-based promotion's banner.
"I mean, how do they pick title shots anyways? Because girls keep fighting for them? I don't know," Evinger said of Invicta FC. "I think I'm better than a lot of girls they have signed already and have coming in there, so why does that not make me eligible for a title shot?
"I just beat Sarah [D'Alelio]. I think I'll beat Lauren [Murphy]. This is what I want. I want to go in and beat Lauren. I want to take that title and then I want to challenge Barb [Honchak.] And then b**ches I'll hold two f**kin' titles and then UFC better pick me up.
"And I want to buy some t*tties and I want a Range Rover, Dana [White]."
Evinger's reference to breast implants was apparently a slight verbal jab at UFC bantamweight contender Miesha Tate, who "Triple Threat" feels had some surgical work done to enhance her chest.
Evinger defeated veteran bantamweight striker Sarah "The Monster" D'Alelio (7-5) in her first Invicta FC fight, and she's riding a four-fight win streak overall.
"Triple Threat" has entered the cage 18 times over her 10-year career, including bouts against some of the biggest names in the sport.
Despite having fought the likes of Sara McMann and Gina Carano, Evinger isn't sure Invicta FC will give her the title shot she's looking for.
"I'm just not in the clique, so I just really think that's going to hurt my chances," Evinger told MMA Dude Bro. "Whatever."

Jennifer Saviano (top row), 37, wife of Nunzio Saviano, a celebrity stylist, a New York City salon owner and the man behind all the cuts in this article, said her hair did not bounce back as quickly as her body did after the birth of their third child four years ago. "My natural waves are no longer as bouncy, my hair seems thinner, and it's definitely drier," says Jennifer. "I've been wanting to cut it off and start over for a while."
The Cut
Nunzio sliced seven inches off Jennifer's hair and chiseled it into a choppy bob with heavy fringe. The subtle layers were a must, because a very blunt bob can be "too severe and aging," says Nunzio. On the other hand, he warns, if you add too many layers, the cut will look very round, in that stiff, soccer mom way. To avoid this, Nunzio used a technique he calls undercutting: He removed puffiness by cutting into the hair's underlayers while leaving the outer layers nearly one length. The finishing touch? Eyebrow-skimming bangs for sex appeal.
Who Can Sport This Style?
Virtually anyone can rock a bob, says Nunzio. But hair type and face shape dictate length. Those with curly-to-wavy hair and a round, square or wide face will find a shoulder-skimming length most flattering. If you have a long face and straight hair, you have more leeway to go chin length.
Best Styling Strategy
To wear this cut straight, Nunzio suggests applying a lightweight styling cream (preferably with heat-protectant ingredients) to damp hair. Try Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Smoothing Milk ($4; drugstores). Blow-dry hair until it's about 80 percent there, then use a paddle brush to pull strands taut and smooth. If it looks too round when you're finished (think 1995 news-anchor hair), run a flatiron over just the ends. To wear the style wavy, apply the same styling cream, then let your hair dry naturally or blow-dry with a diffuser. Once the hair is dry, enhance its natural texture by twirling sections around a one-inch curling iron.
Color Cues
To play up the simple elegance of the bob's shape, John Whelan, a colorist at Nunzio's eponymous Manhattan salon, used a rich brown color all over, followed by a clear glaze to bump up the shine. He also wove in a few subtle caramel highlights to add softness and dimension.
Weez Tomlinson (middle row), 52, an educational consultant and actor, had been relaxing her midback-length hair every six weeks for 15 years. "It's very time consuming—and damaging. I wanted to grow in my naturally curly texture, but I knew it would require a transition strategy, and I just didn't know where to begin," says Weez. Enter Nunzio.
The Cut
After snipping five inches off the bottom of Weez's hair, Nunzio added layers all over; the shortest are four inches long. Heavy layering will allow the curly new growth to spring into shape (longer hair weighs down spirals). "I think of this style as a very curly version of a shag, where there are short layers all over. And with hair like Weez's, this cut prevents the hair from looking bushy," explains Nunzio.
Who Can Sport This Style?
"Weez has a long neck and lovely, defined shoulders. The second I pulled her hair back and exposed that area, she looked 10 years younger, something I think many women would discover if they lost some length," says Nunzio. This cut is ideal for coarse, naturally curly and wavy hair. You can still go for it if you have straight or fine hair, but the result will not be as full as Weez's.
Best Styling Strategy
To create this look, Nunzio says to first apply shine serum all over damp hair; this seals your strands' cuticles and allows them to form perfect spirals. The serum he used on Weez: Kerastase Cristal Sculpt ($42; kerastase-usa.com). Next, dry your hair with a diffuser or allow it to air-dry. If your hair is naturally very curly, you need only apply a curl-enhancing balm, twirl sections around your finger to create defined curls, then let air-dry. If your curl patternis uneven or if, like Weez, you have ends that have been chemically relaxed, Nunzio says to feign flawless curls by wrapping one-inch sections of hair around a small, half-inch curling iron. Repeat wherever curls need a boost. Finish by finger tousling and misting with a shine spray such as John Frieda Frizz-Ease 100% Shine Glossing Mist ($6; drugstores).
Color Cues
To make Weez's silver strands sparkle, John used a strong clarifying shampoo to remove both dulling product buildup and a blue tint caused by overuse of purple shampoo.He finished with a clear semipermanent glaze that boosted shine. When adding highlights, John says to consider the shape of your curls. "If you have a thick curl, go for a chunkier highlight so it shows up," he advises. "Fine highlights can easily disappear in curly hair."
Hilary Hayes (bottom row), 45, cofounder of interior design company Hayes & Howells, contemplated going short for a year, tacking pictures of cropped cuts on her Pinterest board as inspiration. So she was game when Nunzio pulled out his shears. "I was noticing all of these middle- aged women walking around with long, stringy ponytails," says Hilary, "and suddenly realized I was one of them! I was keeping my hair long to look younger, but it was doing me no favors."
The Cut
With inspiration from Twiggy circa 1966, Nunzio cut six inches off Hilary's hair, shaping it into a pixie-bob hybrid: short on the sides, with long layers on top and in front. The length on top adds versatility, allowing Hilary to wear her hair sleek and tucked behind the ears or tousled and spiky.
Who Can Sport This Style?
If you often scrape your hair back into a tight ponytail or chignon, you're already comfortable exposing your face and neck, says Nunzio, so the transition to a short cut ought to be a cinch. Should anyone avoid it? "If you have curly hair, you will have to go very short to cut off all those spirals. Plus, it will be a challenge to keep curls from becoming puffy in humidity," he warns.
Best Styling Strategy
To wear this cut smooth, Nunzio suggests spritzing a volumizing spray, like Kerastase Lift Vertige Root Uplifting Hair Gel ($36; kerastase-usa.com), onto damp hair, then using a medium round brush as you blow-dry. To wear it tousled and textured, apply the same volumizer but use your fingers or a small round brush to lift the hair at the roots off the scalp; then twirl small sections to create definition as you blow-dry. For a tousled finish, pinch ends with a pomade such as Bumble and Bumble Semisumo ($28; bumbleandbumble.com).
Color Cues
John used an all-over buttery-blonde shade, then wove in platinum highlights. Contrast is crucial, says John, because it plays up the lines of this cut. Skip this tip, and an all-one-color short style may look like a hat.

For some time now, I've been thinking about designing my own CPU architecture. Last week, I couldn't get the thought out of my head, and I finally gave in and started to really think about what I'd want from a moderately simple CPU. I've decided that I'm going to document the process as I go, to hopefully force myself to finish this project; I'm often quite bad at starting something I find fun, and losing interest before I get to something I'd call complete. I am hoping to change this… I really hope a future potential employers don't read this bit…
My aim for this project is to have something I can actually run programs on, and maybe even get an LLVM backend written so I can compile basic C programs for it. I plan to implement all the hardware design using the Haskell library Kansas Lava, which allows for designing hardware which can be both simulated in Haskell (you can play with most circuits in GHCI, which is amazingly nice), as well as produce VHDL which can be synthesised and used to configure things like an FPGA. My goal is to have this design running on my Spartan-3E FPGA Starter Board, or possibly one of these (due to its 64bit wide memory interface). So, on to the design!
Obviously it has to be RISC; my skills in hardware design are rusty enough without me having to figure out how to parse binary data in hardware, and besides, no one uses CISC any more these days, they only pretend. But just saying it's RISC doesn't get me far, and I only had a vague idea of what I wanted to be able to do. There were lots of features from ARM that I wanted:
(Almost) all instructions are conditional, which can make for some very efficient code, both in terms of speed and space required.
Lots of registers. Well, I guess 16 is lots, but I wanted more.
Most arithmetic instructions have free shifts on their second argument, so there's no need for dedicated shift instructions. This is pretty neat, and I decided I wanted more free stuff! We'll get to that in my next post.
There were also some other architectures that intrigued me, notably SPARC.
A register set to constant zero, useful for simplifying many operations. Sometimes you want to perform a computation, but you only care about some of its side effects, such as whether it overflows. You can just use this register as the destination, and the result will be lost, but the side effects wont. Also there's no need for a negation instruction, since it's just subtracting x from zero.
A register window. On function calls, the registers available to new function are not the same as those of calling function, but there is an overlap of 8 registers, which is where the first 8 (I think) function arguments are passed. When the function returns, the window slides back, and the result will have been passed back in what are now the top 8 registers. I decided this is not a feature I need, because… it seems complicated to implement, and the advantages in such a simple design as mine aren't really worth it as far as I can tell.
A branch delay slot. ARM also has this, but I'd forgotten about it during my initial thinking, and realised it would be a useful thing to have to make implementation easier. Essentially what this means is that when a branch instruction is executed, the instruction immediately following it is executed before the branch actually occurs. In a pipelined architecture, this can be quite useful, it can help avoid pipeline stalls. I think one of the main reasons for them existing is due to the extra time needed to fetch the next instruction in order to execute it. The CPU could either stall for a cycle (or more) waiting for it, or it could do some useful work in the mean time.
So with this I got started. I decided, somewhat arbitrarily, that I wanted this to be a 64 bit architecture, with 64 bit wide instructions. This choice would allow me to have more registers than architectures like ARM. It also meant I had more room for constants in instructions, making a lot of tasks easier, and avoiding memory accesses for almost all constants (I've ended up with constants up to 36 bits). Initially I was going to go all out, and have 256 64bit registers, but I figured this was a bit of a waste, and I eventually decided (again, somewhat arbitrarily) on 64 registers (plus some special purpose ones).
I also really wanted conditional execution of instructions, and almost all instructions will be conditional. For those not in the know, this means that the instruction's result is only executed if certain condition flags are set. This can lead to some extremely efficient branchless code, where in the past you would have had to jump between the two clauses of an if-else statement, now you can just perform the comparison, and have all the instructions from each execute conditionally. Sure you waste a few cycles, but you won't stall the pipeline, and it usually means having less instructions in the code.
Next I started to think about what operations my CPU would need, and what I would like on top of the basics. A came up with a list of basic arithmetic instructions:
res = res + a*b
cmp rm op2
subs r0 rm op2
The things in curly brackets are variants of the instruction. Instructions with the {s} variant mean they can set the condition flags based on their result, for example, adds can set the carry flag indicating that the addition had a carry out past the end of the result. Instructions with a {c} variant (ie addc) will perform their operation using the carry flag as an input, in whatever manner makes sense for the given instruction. For example, to add two 128 bit numbers in registers r10, 11 and r20, r21 with the result going into r30, r31, you might use something like:
adds r30, r10, r20; # Add, setting flags (ie carry)
addc r31, r11, r21; # Add, using the previously set carried bit
Instructions with sizes after them, as you might expect, operate on differing sized inputs. padd can add 2×32bit numbers, 4×16bit, or 8×8bit.
Then there's the branching instructions. Since almost all instructions will be conditional, I only really need two kinds of branches. A standard branch, which covers all types of conditional branches automatically, and some kind of call instruction, which would not only modify the program counter, but also save the return address somewhere. There would also need to be its dual, a return instruction, which sets the program counter to the value that was previously saved.
pc <- src shiftL 3
ra <- (pc shiftR 3)+1; pc <- src shiftL 3
pc <- ra shiftL 3
There's some odd stuff going on here, so I'll explain. The shifts by three come from me wanting to ensure that instructions are always word aligned. Also doing this means that we can jump to constants 8 times further away than previously possible. In the call instruction, we save the address of the next instruction to the return address register, and set the program counter to the address given to the instruction. Each function is responsible for saving the ra if it's going to make another function call, and restoring it before returning to its callee.
So far we've got enough to be a sorta, kinda, maybe turing complete (assuming infinite registers…) machine, but there's something quite important missing: memory access. This is something I have less planned out than the other forms of instructions, since I'm not sure what sort of features would be really useful, so more time will have to spent on this before I come up with a final design. What I have so far in terms of instructions are:
rdest <- mem[src]
mem[dst] <- rsrc
[sp] <- rsrc; sp <- sp - {8,4,2,1}
rdest <- [sp]; sp <- sp + {8,4,2,1}
Here we have some pretty standard instruction, though the push and pop are maybe not in some RISC architectures because they're easy to implement if you have direct access to the stack as a general purpose register. I haven't decided whether I'll do this or not, but I think it's likely, since one day, it might be really useful to be able to swap stacks easily (Maybe it's a possible security risk… ha, look at me worrying about security risks in a CPU that so far has to ability to run an operating system through lack of interrupts!). I'm also quite sure (thanks to shachaf on IRC) that my definitions for my push and pop instructions are wrong, there needs to be some addition to the stack pointer's value before referencing it. I may also add a frame pointer to make life easier when working with function calls.
I may also add instructions to save a range of registers to the stack and load them back in, like ARM has (though I have no idea how to implement that just yet)
Lastly, there were some common operations, and some just plain cool ones I wanted to have available:
Many of these instructions are trivial to implement in hardware, but can take many many cycles to implement in software without proper support. I'm open to adding more of these if anyone can come up with some instructions they wish they had in their CPU of choice.
The last thing I wanted to talk about before finishing off this first post was my ideas on what I would do about registers. I mentioned earlier that I likes the SPARC idea of having a constant zero register. After I came up with the idea of the extract instruction, realised that having a register of all 1 bits would also be useful for creating masks. Having this means you could do things like complement all the bits in a certain range like so:
xor r4, r4, r1[7:10]; # Use the constant 1's register to form a mask
I think this will turn out to be extremely useful in many situations.
So far this is what I've come up with as a tentative plan for registers:
I have some ideas about what the calling convention for this architecture should be, but that will have to wait for a later post.
In the coming weeks and months I hope flesh out the details and design of this architecture, and hopefully you'll find it fun to follow along. I plan to put everything up on github eventually, but I want something more concrete first. My next post will go into more detail about the instruction formats I've come up with, as well as my first adventure into Kansas Lava and creating a moderately complex adder/subtracter circuit. Until next time, happy hacking!
I look forward to hearing more!
Sounds interesting, i'll save a book mark to this.
Main thing I'd like to see in a new architecture is a no-overhead overflow trap for ordinary int arithmetic. Unexpected integer wraparound is the new buffer overflow.
You don't really need ctz and ctlz given a popcnt instruction. ctz y x can be implemented with popcnt by this simple c-ish sequence: y = popcnt(~x & (x-1)). Another instruction that is very handy is an andn instruction (andn a b c : a = b & ~c) and similar an orn instruction (a = b | ~c). Consider having a look at Knuth's MMIX. There is really some pretty nice stuff inside!
Combined load, operation, store instructions, like increment memory address.
Atomic Swap memory.
Atomic copy memory.
Compare and exchange.
Compare and increment.
Random number.
Bit rotation shifts.
Sign and zero extension operations.
Expose carry and other flags as a register.
Convert big endian and little endian.
Memcopy and memset and memscan.
You may be interested to know that ARM's new A64 instruction set has apparently[1] dropped conditional execution in all but the branch instructions.
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/9/178
You might be interested in Bluespec, a language and tool with considerable functional programming design. If you have a university affiliation, you can get a free academic license. Arvind's classes at MIT design a simple pipelined MIPS processor in Bluespec, then do architectural exploration on it. Bluespec Inc's own "SVP" product (which happes to be written in Bluespec) show that ARM is possible.
IMHO, you should look at MIPS and Alpha's ISAs, both are great.
Using 64bit for the instruction's size is a bit weird: your code density will be very low: the latest trend is 16/32 bit ISA (Thumb2, MIPS16), but maybe I should say was ARM dropped Thumb2 with the v8.
OTOH the nice thing about 64bit instructions, is that this should allow you to have a very regular ISA dropping condition code registers: add should be an operation with three sources registers (to merge add and add with carry in one operation) plus two destination registers: one for the result, the other for the carry so 5*6bit:30bit used, reasonable in a 64bit instructions.
@solrize: I agree with you: it's a shame that only the MIPS has trap on arithmetic overflow instructions..
@Asger Alstrup: Memcopy and memset and memscan are not RISC at all, think about the issues when a page fault happen! RISC is load-store (well except when you want to do atomic memory operations).
You might also consider adding prefetch, perhaps as a load to a constant register.
As far as synchronization primitives go, Compare-and-Swap and Mem-to-Mem-swap are both powerful, relatively easy to implement and well used and studied.
Are you considering SIMD instructions or floating-point arithmetic ?
If extract is in the argument format, we get fixed-point for free (though emulation using shift is quite cheap).
Anyways, sounds exiting !

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
National Neurovision Research Institute (NNRI) and Resolvyx Pharmaceuticals inked a research collaboration whereby NNRI will fully fund preclinical studies to evaluate the potential of resolvin therapeutics for eye diseases of the retina that lack current treatments, specifically genetic retinal degenerative diseases and dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
NNRI will fully fund preclinical studies and will also provide access to specialized research facilities and ocular research experts to conduct studies to evaluate the effectiveness of resolvins for specific eye diseases. Resolvyx will provide the company's resolvin therapeutics, including RX-10001, RX-10008, and RX-20001, for the research studies. Resolvyx will retain all rights to develop and commercialize these compounds and any discoveries that result from the collaboration.
Resolvins are a recently discovered family of naturally occurring, small molecule lipid mediators that can be targeted to treat a wide range of diseases, according to Resolvyx. In particular, resolvins act to protect healthy tissue during an immune response to infection, injury, or other environmental challenge, prevent cell death, and then act to resolve inflammation and promote healing after the insult has passed.

Secrets of Success
I am EXCITED!!!
Tuesday, February 05, 2013
Lately has been rough. I've been really sad and feeling really badly about myself, my life, and all around everything. My self esteem is at an all time low, my loneliness and hopelessness of finding someone to love and accept me was at an all time high, and I was just plain old unhappy.
I didn't know what to do. I've been on this roller coaster ride of weight gain and loss for what feels like my entire life. How crazy is that? That even as a child I was aware of my body compared to others? I've tried so many different things, and learned so much along the way, but still hadn't learned how to find the motivation to stick with anything.
So I thought about it. Really thought about it. Cut away all the BS talk about how "I know I can do this" and "Think of where you've been and know you can get there again" and all kinds of prideful thoughts that were holding me back. I was honest with myself and real with myself and accepted that everything I've done hasn't worked. And thought about what things have worked.
And I realized I needed help. I am the type of person who needs others to help stay motivated. I am a team person. I want to be with other people, doing the same thing, celebrating each other and motivating each other. I needed somewhere I could go when I was having a bad day, or needed a boost, or even just somewhere to go to be accountable for myself. So I had an idea of what I needed to do... but I wasn't entirely convinced.
Until I went to a new doctor and we spoke openly and honestly. I am very, very over weight (209 LBS at 5 FT). And diabetes runs in my family. strong. I am a ticking time bomb. I have a good foundation, and I'm wasting it. I have no physical problems, no allergies, no prescriptions, etc. I spoke to her about what I needed and wanted, and her words were, "I'm so glad to hear you say that, because this whole time I've been thinking of something I think will work for you..."
(Can you guess?).....
Weight Watchers!!
Meetings I can go to to talk to others? Learning tools that will help me change my lifestyle? Eating what I want, but learning moderation and the give and take needed? Awesome!
The best part? It's already a diet plan I was already doing for the most part, I'll just have less slip ups and be more aware and more accountable for what I'm doing. And it wasn't very expensive, and I pay by month so if it doesn't work for me I can quit any time without paying a fee.
I had my first class last night (I did a free class to see what it was all about and if it was for me) and ended up joining. Today is my first official day 1... and I'm excited. For the first time I feel like this is doable. I have no end day in sight. This is a life style change. There is no weigt loss compeititon, no stress, no "I have to loss this amount by this date" mentality. It's just a slow and steady journey, learning and exploring. I can't wait.
Please, please, please, whoever and whatever is up there and out there, let this work for me. I can't continue the way I was, miseralble, unhealthy, and alone. I need help. Please, work with me. I don't care about being skinny, or being a small size. I just want to be healthy.

It will work for you, I know it. I do understand about the down and low feelings too. I was told, it could be the winter blahs. I am doing better today but exercise and talking will help too. Good for you for finding it!

I hope WW works for you and you find a group who will be helpful and supportive. Though, remember that it is YOU who makes all the decisions. If you have a bad meal/day/week you can still stop and say 'I will try again'. Going to the meetings will give you the group setting you need, but it is still YOU who choose what to eat, how to move, and to go to the meetings. Sometimes we need someone to show us the way, but in the end it is still up to us to do the work. Work the process slowly, easing yourself into this so you don't become overwhelmed. Learn more about who you are and why it is important for you to be healthy (more than to avoid diabetes but what more you can accomplish in the future by being healthy). You live in a big world surrounded by many people, but you also live within yourself and figuring out how to do better for yourself should help you keep this healthy journey going long term.

It's not really fair to John Carney that his latest is immediately compared to "Once," a masterpiece that has spread to Broadway and throughout pop culture, but its all we can do. No surprise then that " Begin Again" is not in the same realm as its predecessor but it is a charming film that uses music to similarly wonderful results. Where it fails is in focusing too much on the latter and not enough on story and characters.
While you can't really call "Once" or "Begin Again" musicals in the traditional sense, John Carney has proven with those outings that he tops the charts when it comes to using songs to tell a story, be it original or classics. It is in this area that "Begin Again" truly shines – which is no surprise when the original title for the film was "Can a Song Save Your Life?"
Each character is deeply affected by a song at one point of the story. Mark Ruffalo's character is brought back from the edge of despair; a song her character writes defines Keira Knightley and Adam Levine's relationship; and Ruffalo's repairs his family by performing a song with his daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). It may seem like a gimmick, but those are the best sequences in the film and express these characters and their personal arcs better than the dialogue of the film actually does.
The film is significantly weaker when it plays scenes normally. It's not that the script is poorly written, or that the film isn't that well acted, rather it's a distinct loss of energy. Carney's touch is more present during the music scenes and the music brings something out of these characters that words can't. You could argue that that is the point – these are people who are able to better express and learn about themselves through their music, but the drop off between their singing and their actual lives is as dramatic at points as black and white.
Not to mention the characters are actually all rather under cooked. Ruffalo's down-on-his-luck music producer is a bit of a contradiction when it comes to his personal life. He was the responsible parent and yet he is the one his daughter has an estranged relationship with. Knightley's journey may be easier to understand, but it is underwhelming.
Still, what this film does right is a pure joy to watch. Whether it be walking through New York City listening to your iPod with a kindred spirit, or proving all drunken calls to your ex aren't such a bad idea if you have a beautiful song to tell them to screw off with, "Begin Again" will endear itself to you.
The nice thing is that bits you would have worried about before going into the movie don't really hurt the overall product. Adam Levine's acting debut is nothing to signal he should give up his day job, but he doesn't detract because he isn't asked to do too much. On the flip side, Keira Knightley can sing pretty well, so she can add that to her resume.
Carney may know how to use the songs that are given to him, but someone had to write them, and this time around that was Gregg Alexander. Time will tell if Alexander follows a similar path to that of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who reaped the benefits from not only starring in "Once" but writing its songs, but it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that "Lost Stars" (listen to it embedded at the top of this article) winds up being a major contender for Best Original Song at the Oscars this year.
Music and film have been like peanut better and jelly since its invention, and "Begin Again" proves why - even not so subtlety says it. The songs tell the story of the film all on their own while at the same time get stuck in your head. The only problem with that is it seemed to come at the sacrifice of the characters and flow of the film when there isn't music playing. In the end though, the characters grow enough to satisfy and damn that music is just too good not to enjoy.

Head Coach Amy Fuller
"This was our first ever win in the history of the Berg Cup, and it was a really good way to start the official season. It was a really good measure on how we stack up, so there is a little bit of a picture now as to where we are starting out. I hope this will give us a little more confidence, but we do know that we have a long way to go to get a little bit faster."
On the UCLA 2V8:
"They had a pretty good race. They were focusing on OCC, and USD kind of snuck up on them. I think it was a really good learning experience for them. Unfortunately, we came out on the very short end of it, but if you can walk away learning something, you should be happy. I think they had a great performance."
On the UCLA novices:
"I think the novices looked great. I'm real excited about the future of the program. Both novice eights did well, and the first novice eight in particular showed control and were in command of the race. It was a really nice start for them as well."
Assistant Coach Bill Zack
On the UCLA novices:
"We already had our lineups by Thursday, so to prepare for this race, we did a simulated race off of our electronic speed coach. The best thing that they did was keep it very even on the speed throughout, and I think that helped them prepare for today. I think the best thing was not the margin of victory but how good they looked on the water. I just think they rowed very well today."

Raised in France by Dutch parents, she trained and studied in France and from 1997-2002 performed throughout Europe and North Africa with French choreographer Claudine Peny. In addition to her performing career, Ms. Van Bommel also attended Université de Paris 8—Sorbonne and Université de Bourgogne and graduated with an MA in Performing Arts Aesthetics and an MA in Comparative Literature. She moved to New York City in 2002 and received the Outstanding Master of Fine Arts Award upon graduation from the Purchase College Conservatory of Dance. She is an alumna of Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival from which she was awarded a full scholarship to study with choreographer Susan Marshall during the summer of 2005.
She is also a co-founder and curator of the REVERB Dance Festival, a yearly event taking place at the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater in New York City.

Cliff Cottage Inn - Luxury B&B Suites & Historic Cottages
Table Of Contents
Cliff Cottage Inn is the only B&B inn in the heart of Eureka Springs' Historic Downtown just 17 steps down to Main Street shops and restaurants. No need to walk almost a mile to get downtown, to wait for public trams or to drive around and around hunting for paid parking -- you have your own off-street parking space at the inn and you can easily walk to everything.
Five beautifully restored historic cottages, with lots of privacy and space for your getaway to this quaint Victorian village.
Now in its third decade with the same founding innkeeper, the inn specializes in providing a romantic ambiance for special occasions - birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons or just time to enjoy each other away from the hustle-bustle of the real world,
Cliff Cottage Inn is the only B&B in Eureka Springs inducted into TripAvisor's prestigious "Hall of Fame" for being awarded five years in a row their "Certificate of Excellence" for the high level of service and hospitality the inn is known for and continues to provide to guests. There are over 300 reviews on TripAdvisor applauding Cliff Cottage Inn, which was also named TripAdvisor's #1 Most Popular B&B in Eureka Springs.

These are not tiny bedrooms in someone's house... each suite has its own living room to relax in where you can enjoy the award-winning full-gourmet breakfasts that the inn's elf delivers each morning to your suite.
Guests enjoy private balconies, decks or porches, complimentary wine or Champagne chilled and waiting in your fridge, in-room beverage bars with coffee/teas/hotchocolate/chai.

Innkeeper Sandra learned to cook on an 18th-century woodburning stove while living several years in France.She incorporates a lot of French recipes into the breakfasts which guests rave about.

It includes all her original recipes as well as stories of the seven years she spent sailing her 35-foot hot pink sailboat alone in the Pacific before coming to Arkansas to open her inn.
In 2009, Sandra married a wonderful fellow, Carl Rohne (from St. Louis) and he can often be seen chatting with guests about the history of the area. Carl earned his Ph.D in Medieval European History from USC and a Masters in History and Political Science from Stanford and as a medievalist, has had a stimulating time as professor at Southern Methodist University.
Sandra and Carl take great delight in helping guests plan fun things to do while they are in Eureka Springs, whether it is a pampering experience at one of the many day spas, an afternoon cruise on Beaver Lake, an early-morning fishing expedition on the White River (Sandra will even share her secret fishing holes with you!), a carriage ride around the Historic Downtown, or a leisurely stroll through Lake Leatherwood Park, the second largest in-city park in America (just a few minutes' drive from the inn). The innkeeper is happy to make Passion Play, Hoedown or Music Show reservations for you, as well.
Cliff Cottage Inn also offers to overnight guests an Elopement Package for the bride and groom and a maximum of four guests with the ceremony set in either the inn's Great Room in front of a pink marble fireplace and surrounded by antiques, or in the inn's gardens or even next to one of the inn's caves!

We can perform ceremonies for the bride and groom and up to four guests in our Great Room complete with cathedral ceiling, heirloom antiques and original art - a very romantic and elegant setting especially in cooler weather when there's a fire burning in our pink marble fireplace.

Elopement Ceremony Package
Our Elopement Ceremony Package includes the use of our facilities, the minister and the photographer who takes photos throughout the ceremony and two nights in a queen Jacuzzi suite.

No Marriage License? We Can Help
The Court House is directly below Cliff Cottage Inn, just 17 steps away so you can easily walk back down after your ceremony to drop off the signed license. If it is still office hours, they will validate it right there and give it back to you. The courthouse number is 479-253-8646.Courthouse hours are 8:30 AM to 4:15PM, Monday - Friday and 10:00 AM to 1:00PM Saturdays (Be sure to call the Court House ahead if you want to get the license on a Saturday because sometimes, holidays affect their Saturday hours.). Bring picture I.D. for both parties (drivers licenses will do) and both of you must be present to obtain your marriage license. You pay the courthouse for the license, cash only. Cliff Cottage Inn's minister has the required Arkansas license to perform your ceremony and has married over 800 couples at the inn in the past 21 years.
Whether You're Planning a Wedding, Elopement Ceremony, or Romantic Getaway, Cliff Cottage Inn is the Perfect Place To Start or Celebrate Your Life Together.
Fun Things to Do
Optional Extras: a Better Deal for Guests
The Inn's elf is happy to set up any of the following "Optional Extras" for guests. (We've found over the years that our guests were actually losing money on packages as there are no refunds for portions of a package that you don't use, for whatever reason, like weather, etc. For example, if the package includes a carriage ride or Passion Play tickets and it is pouring down rain, you don't get a refund on that portion of the package because it was all bundled together as a package. Also, maybe a package contains a coupon for an Italian restaurant and you get here and find out that one of the best restaurants in Arkansas is just down the street from our inn. Again, you've lost money on the package. So, our elf offers you "Optional Extras" -- you pay the vendor direct for most of the items and we can always cancel once you get here if you decide you want to do something else. It's a win-win situation!)
Cliff Cottage Inn's Elf Offers these Optional Extras
- Spa Treatments including Massages and facials
- Small Elopement Weddings/Vow Renewals
- Reservations to the Passion Play & Living Bible Tour
- Reservations to the Music Show or Hoedown
- Canoe trips down the White River
- Guided fishing excursions on Beaver Lake
- Horseback Excursions
- Discounted Golf Outings at Kings River Golf Course
- Long-stemmed Red Pillow Rose or Dozen Roses
- Victorian Bouquet in vase
- Special Occasion Cake - Birthday, Anniversary, etc.
When you stay at Cliff Cottage Inn, you've got Eureka on a string!

I am a science and sustainability enthusiast living in a charming little river town in Minnesota. Growing up I tagged along with my father as he studied fish and plant communities around the Midwest. As a little girl, I aspired to become a biologist and as I grew up became involved in a myriad of research activities in addition to local conservation organizations. I hold a MS from Texas A&M University where I studied the evolutionary ecology and also realized my love of teaching. I also hold a MA in Instruction and currently work as a biology instructor at a small university and a part time grant-writer for a small liberal arts college. As time allows, I free-lance write for a number of Web sites on topics ranging from ecology and green living to skin care and health.
When not teaching or writing, you'll find me road biking and mountain biking in and around the Mississippi River Valley, helping my husband restore our 110 year old bungalow or reading up on the latest in natural history and biodiversity.

Mika relishing opportunity
by Kate Smith
Young striker enjoying chance to shine.
The ever cheery Mikael Mandron is delighted to be part of Paolo Di Canio's Barclays Asia Trophy squad.
Mandron, a star in last season's under-21 team, has joined the first team for their trip to Hong Kong and was also included in the party who travelled to Italy earlier this month.
The Frenchman has embraced the opportunity to train alongside the first team and watchful eye of Di Canio and hopes he can make the most of it.
He told safc.com: "All the lads have been good to me; it's been a test for me as it's a different level and it's very tough physically with training twice a day, but I'm really enjoying it.
"I hope I've done enough to impress the manager, it would be great to be involved more with the first team during the next season.
"I've done as much as I can and would really like the chance to keep training with them and hopefully play in some games."
Mandron has had the chance to train alongside international stars Stephane Sessegnon, Jozy Altidore and more recently Emannuale Giaccherini, something the youngster is savouring.
"There are so many experienced players I can learn from and I'm doing that every day." Mandron continued.
"The new signings are great too – I'm sure they're going to bring great things to the team."
For Mandron his time in Italy and at the Barclays Asia Trophy is a world away from the under-21 team and he has been in awe of the opportunity.
"Hong Kong is great, it's really hot but once you're used to it it's fine.
"It's nice to be somewhere different and have the chance to experience such a country, Italy was good, but Hong Kong is completely different again.
"It's fantastic that so many supporters made the trip all the way from Sunderland to come out here and get behind the team. "

So this weekend the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books takes place. This is a two day celebration of books that takes place on the UCLA campus that is a joy to attend each year. I've blogged about it many times in the past and you can look at previous posts from the list below. The website for the festival is here.
As you may recall, the night before the festival – that would be tonight – there is a ceremony to announce the winners of the LA Times Book Prizes, with a great reception at the end with lots of interesting people and (often) great conversation. The list of nominated books can be found here, and it is interesting again this year. Here, for example is the science and technology list:
Marcia Bartusiak, The Day We Found the Universe ;
Graham Farmelo, The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom ;
Bill Streever, Cold: Adventures in the Worlds' Frozen Places ;
Richard Wrangham, Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human;
Carol Kaesuk Yoon, Naming Nature: The Clash Between Instinct and Science.
Farmelo's book is high on my list since I'm a huge Dirac fan and want to see how he describes him. I'm bound to learn a lot too. Note, interestingly, that the book I mentioned a few weeks ago, Richard Holmes' "Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science" is in the History section.
You may recall that I've been to some of those awards ceremonies in the past, and they were certainly a lot of fun. Here's a couple of earlier posts here and here, with, among the highlights for me, chocolate fountains and blocks of ice with old typewriters embedded within! (Yes, I can be very shallow at times.)
These hard times mean that the very lavish event at UCLA's Royce Hall does not take place any more, but there is an event tonight for the announcements down at the Los Angeles Times building. I bet it'll be interesting, although I doubt there'll be any chocolate fountains. I hope people will nevertheless manage somehow.

The Arctic has long been a preoccupation of our Sea Services. Master Chief Petty Officer P. J. Capelotti from the Office of the Coast Guard Historian tells us that 1957 was a banner year for polar exploration in general and Coast Guard operations in particular. That year, three small cutters made their way through the Northwest Passage, with one going literally full circle, completely circumnavigating North America. We thought this triumphal story would complement Admiral Gove's quite effectively.
The passing of 2008 also saw the passing of a Marine Corps legend, Lieutenant General Victor "Brute" Krulak. Robert Coram's touching tribute to General Krulak reminds us of his lasting impact on the Corps, from his key role in developing the famed Higgins landing craft of World War II to his counterinsurgency tactics in Vietnam. The military and national security communities also mourned the death of Professor Samuel P. Huntington on 24 December. His 1957 book, The Soldier and the State , is a classic on civil-military relations, and his influential May 1954 Proceedings article, "National Policy and the Transoceanic Navy," remains one of our most requested reprints. It asked the Navy: "What function do you perform which obligates society to assume responsibility for your maintenance?" A question just as pertinent today as it was more than 50 years ago. He further maintained that, in the absence of a naval peer (at that time), the Navy's purpose now was to "utilize its command of the sea to achieve supremacy on land." Some would argue that's still the case. Even today it makes for compelling reading and I urge our members to revisit the article if they haven't done so lately.
Civil-military relations is a subject of ongoing interest for much of our audience. This month Lieutenant Commander Claude Berube advocates a new way for the Sea Services to reach the American public. Perhaps the growing number and quality of naval-centric blogs, along with such projects as the 2008 PBS series Carrier , can help answer Professor Huntington's question.
Years ago, pictorials were more commonplace in Proceedings , as the editors bartered with and persuaded some of the world's best military photojournalists and artists to take pictures or compose artwork to be used in the magazine. The one in this issue practically fell into our laps. On 9 January, highly acclaimed maritime artist and long-time Naval Institute supporter Tom Freeman called Senior Editor Fred Schultz from his mobile phone, saying in passing that he was en route to the White House to deliver a new piece of art before the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States. After they hung up, Fred thought a sampling of Mr. Freeman's White House artwork would be a visually stunning way to showcase some of his 51 works that have hung or are hanging in the White House and acknowledge the dawn of the new administration. Mr. Freeman agreed, and we hope you do, too.

Republicans often accuse Democrats of unflattering things but a Tea Party favorite from Texas left many scratching their heads with his newest allegation.
Appearing at the "Watchmen on the Wall" pastor gathering sponsored by the Family Research Council on Thursday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told the crowd that Democrats were planning a vote to repeal the First Amendment.
"This year, I'm sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment. I am telling you, I am not making this up...Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the authority to regulate political speech, because elected officials have decided they don't like it when the citizenry has the temerity to criticize what they've done...They don't like it when pastors in their community stand up and speak the truth."
Cruz and others might continue to push this new theory, but the reality is much different. What Cruz was talking about was actually Senate Joint Resolution 19, which would reverse the recent Supreme Court rulings of unlimited money in politics and campaign financing, most notably the Citizens United case.
"I'll note this amendment, which has 41 Democratic senators as co-sponsors, 41 Democrats have signed on to repealing the First Amendment...It explicitly says nothing in this new amendment shall abridge the freedom of the press. So the New York Times is protected, but it doesn't say the same thing about the freedom of speech...It doesn't say the same thing about religious liberty, what is says it that politicians in Washington have unlimited constitutional authority to muzzle each and every one of you if you're saying things the government finds inconvenient."
Senate Joint Resolution 19 would not restrict public or private speech, religious liberty or any of the other restrictions Cruz spoke about during the Watchmen on the Wall gathering. What it would do, and many support the effort, is allow the federal government to regulate the money that is being thrown around during the election cycle. Money in politics is a major problem and has only gotten worse as the income gap between the top 1 percent and the rest of the United States has widened. Former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura called the concentration of wealth to a small elite a "sickness," and if Ted Cruz and others continue to speak as they have, it only confirms the former governor's point.

D.L.G.L., Arrow Professional Services and Habañero Consulting Group top the list of the 2013 Best Small & Medium Employers by Queen's University's School of Business in Kingston, Ont., and Aon Hewitt.
The average engagement score for the 51 employers on the list was 84 per cent; other participants in the study had an average score of 61 per cent.
"Employee engagement is key for all organizations no matter their size," said Einar Westerlund, director of project development at the Queen's Centre for Business Venturing, part of the Queen's School of Business. "In this study, feedback directly from employees about their workplace and their work experience enables us to measure how engaged they are."
According to Aon Hewitt's definition of employee engagement, employees are engaged when they "say, stay and strive": they speak positively about the organization to others, are committed to remaining with their current employer, and are motivated by their organizations' leaders to contribute to business success.
"Employers must have a strong level of commitment from their workforce to have success. If not, they will see employee turnover and absenteeism begin to increase," said Neil Crawford, Aon Hewitt's study leader. "This will also lead to less productivity and lower customer satisfaction."
To be eligible to participate in the Best Small & Medium Employers in Canada study, organizations must have been in business in Canada for at least three years and have between 50 and 399 permanent, Canadian-based employees.

College Hockey:Walsh stops 28 in Bemidji State's tie with North Dakota
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Senior Night is always a night to remember, but the result on the ice won't be so memorable for North Dakota.
Bemidji State's pesky style of play swallowed up UND's potent offense, and only a Jordan Schmaltz goal with 11:23 to play prevented disaster for North Dakota (18-9-7, 13-6-7 Western Collegiate Hockey Association), which had to settle for a extremely frustrating 2-2 tie with the Beavers (6-18-8, 5-14-7 WCHA) in front of 12,117 at Ralph Engelstad Arena Saturday night.
A win would have clinched home ice and put pressure on first-place St Cloud State in the MacNaughton Cup race, but a solid defensive effort from the blue collar Beavers stood in UND's way.
UND fired 80 shots on Bemidji State, but the Beavers' ability to dam up the offensive zone left North Dakota with just two goals. Andrew Walsh had 28 saves, and the Beavers defense also picked up 28 shot blocks.
"You got to block shots," Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore said. "That's hockey. To me, that's never a 'key,' that's automatic. It's non-negotiable; it's part of being a hockey player. It's about sacrifice."
North Dakota never led, instead needing goals from Mitch MacMillan and Schmaltz in the second and third periods to keep the Beavers from escaping with a win. Just like it had Friday night, the North Dakota top line went scoreless.
Serratore said his team knew what it was in for with that line, and he was pleased with how his team responded. "We tried like heck to keep them to the outside. I think we did a pretty good job of doing that. But again, they still had a lot of in-zone possession time. But again, we kept them on the perimeter. We tried to clog up the neutral zone."
Dave Hakstol said it was a good effort from his team nonetheless.
"[The Beavers] do a great job," he said. "They were in a lot of shooting lanes. Probably the difference early on in this game was that we missed a couple of real good opportunities. And the last half of the game, their guy in the pipes did a real good job, and we just couldn't find one of those greasy tips or rebounds."
Bemidji State jumped out to a lead early. Right after Rocco Grimaldi missed an open net one way, Phil Brewer chipped a puck over Zane Gothberg's head for the quick 1-0 lead 3:23 into the game.
MacMillan tied it for a brief while at 4:10 of the second frame, but Danny Mattson's tip of a point shot from the blue line fooled Gothberg and gave the Beavers yet another lead at 12:27.
That put North Dakota, and the second-largest crowd in Ralph Engelstad Arena history, in an urgent and frustrated mood. That certainly wasn't the way Hakstol and North Dakota wanted to celebrate Senior Night, but Jordan Schmaltz stepped up and notched a top corner, game-tying, power-play goal with 11:23 remaining in regulation.
Despite a 14-shot effort, North Dakota couldn't put the winning goal past Walsh in the third period. Dillon Simpson hit a pipe and Drake Caggiula had a goal waved off because of a high stick in the waning minutes of regulation.
Bemidji State had its opportunities to win it too, nearly winning it with 25 seconds left in the third on a Ben Kinne breakaway opportunity. The Beavers also swam around the North Dakota zone for nearly the first three minutes of overtime, but neither squad could put in the winning goal.
"To me, it was an exciting game," Serratore said. "The fans got their money's worth."
The tie stuck North Dakota into a tie for second place with Minnesota with two games left for everybody in the jumbled WCHA standings. Mathematically, North Dakota can still win the MacNaughton outright, or it may be tasked with being on the road for the playoffs should all the chips fall the wrong way.
"It's close," Hakstol said. "Let's sum it up; it's a tight race. Let's go play next weekend."
The six seniors on UND's 2012-2013 roster — Joe Gleason, Corban Knight, Danny Kristo, Andrew MacWilliam, Tate Maris, and Carter Rowney – were commemorated with a post-game video, parading around the ice in appreciation to the crowd. And while this Senior Night didn't end with a win, Hakstol looked beyond the result in praising his team, especially his seniors.
"I thought we played hard in a lot of respects," Hakstol said. "We executed well. The only thing that stings is not being able to get the two points, especially on Senior Night. But that's not going to take away from any of the things that come with Senior Night and our ability to honor those guys.
"One point, great performance, and a high level of pride for our senior class."
