We actually played some football yesterday, any comments?
I understand why most of the discussion is dominated by Suarez today, but anyone care to comment about the actually football played during the game?
For me Agger, who has been great most of the season, needs to hang his head in shame. Maybe he thought a little tiny Brazilian would not be a threat from a corner, but he should know any decent player who is allowed to run around the 6 yard box unmarked is likely to be a threat.
Torres was, well Torres. Other than the elbow which to be honest looked accidental, not sure I remember much from him.
Suarez, putting the mid-match Serbian snack aside, it was the best and worst from him. The pass to Sturridge was sublime, as was the goal in the last minute of stoppage time. But the handball took all the momentum out of us.
Sturridge has been in for some criticism of late, which I think is unfortunate as he was never going to keep up the rabid pace of scoring he had when he first arrived, and remember he also took a knock. But for some its second nature to look for bad news. But yesterday I think he really was the key to the comeback, and if the wind had not been knocked out of our sails by the penalty might have been the inspiration to go on for a winner.
So got to give BR some credit also, as substitutions do change games, and there is no doubt he went for it yesterday. He seems to get some stick for not being animated enough on the touchline or not willing to change the system to get a result, but seem to remember a few fist punches yesterday from him, and there is no doubt he mixed things up in the second half to chance a result, so credit where its due.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Hate to say it mate but Oscar was Carragher's man, it is still part zonal what we did and he attacked the zone in front of JC except he came out late, you can tell he knows it but by his reaction afterwards, it was woeful and sadly unsurprising.
I know the handball killed us but if you watch the replays I am pretty certain Torres is about to head that in the net, as weird as it sounds I would rather concede the penalty then have him score again against us! Obviously there is no guarantee that 'this Torres' would score against us but it looks as simple a chance as you will see. More importantly, who the hell told Suarez to mark Torres at a corner? Surely that should be a more responsible defenders job!
We played poop in first half but the selection of Coutinho over Sturridge was justified on recent performance efforts. His display when he came on was excellent, it was similar when he played his other club Man City. I know people play up against there old clubs but you do have to wonder why they can't play like that every week, he looks world class when he is having one of those days.
When he did the 180 spin and long range shot of the post I had my hairs standing on end! Great finish for the first equaliser as well.
Luis Suarez played fantastically in the second half, the header and the assist were awesome, he bit Ivanovic, it is what it is, people have blown up way too much. Would you rather wake up on Monday morning with a bite mark on your arm or a broken leg, nose or even a Rooney style gashed quad? The guy is a nut job but a deliberate act of violence is what it is, the level of injury caused by it should be something to do with the punishment. How can anyone explain how a deliberate leg breaker is deemed a lesser crime then a bite?! Chelsea got lucky to stay level, they should quit bemoaning the added time, it is pretty easy to calculate. Petr Cech was amazing, if he isnt in the team of the season then there is something wrong.

I'm not sure about the marking on the corner. At first I also thought it was Carra, but on the replay (from behind the goal) it was clear Agger pointed to Oscar and mouth "I've got him". Now maybe if we were employing a zonal plan of sorts responsibilities changed, but Agger let Oscar run away from him while he stay rooted to the spot not marking anyone. Mind you, if anyone knows how to breakdown and get an advantage over a zonal marking system it has to be Rafa.
On the handball I do agree with you. Who knows if Torres would have got his head on it, but I do think despite Suarez turning his head, it was a deliberate act to prevent Torres getting on the ball. And, like the world cup handball I don't condemn Suarez for conceding a penalty to try and help out his side. However I do think it killed the momentum we had coming out from halftime when we really had a head of steam.
I also agree it was not a bad move to start the Brazilian over Sturridge, but to be honest I think the player who let us down in the first half was Henderson who just did not seem to get a foot on the ball and maintain possession, and I can't remember the number of times he gave the ball away. I've been impressed with Jordan recently, but till Stevie took control of the midfield I think it was Chelsea who dominated much of the play. But I will say despite the fast movement Chelsea enjoyed in the first half, from open play I'm not sure they put Pepe's goal under any significant pressure.
On Suarez I've covered this on other threads but I do tend to agree with you. He's been charged with violent conduct which is appropriate, and as it was a blatant act increasing from the standard 3 match ban may be warranted, however I agree with you the level of violence was mild (although it was weird) compared to other cases of violent conduct we see most weekends, so the final judgement should be measured.

"We actually played some football yesterday, any comments?"
Steer, "football" pales into insignificance when you have a player possibly suffering in silence with serious issue of mental health. We all know that footballers are stupid, most of them obviously, but an unprovoked savage biting of the upper arm of another player is an act difficult to understand even for the most blinkered Suarez fans. There's definitely some underlying problems going on in Suarez' life which need urgent attention. Here's hoping that he gets that attention before it's too late.

What?, there are a number of threads on here dedicated to the discussion of Suarez, and various posts on those talking about the need for therapy or other treatments, but as this is a football thread, and yes we did actually play a game of football, I thought it might be nice to have just one thread talking about the actual football.
Now if you'd like to contribute to the other threads, be my guest, but if you would like to talk footie, maybe we could leave this thread just to that, the actual football.

Not sure if it equals 7 minutes or not, but add up the stoppages in play and I think you don't come far off that number:
4 substitutes usually given 30 seconds each = 2 minutes
3 goals scored, usually adds on 30 seconds each = 1 and half minutes
Lengthy injury stoppage for Hazard with stretcher coming on = my guess at least 1-2 minutes
Penalty with quite a long delay from whistle to actually being taken (including Riena's little drink) = my guess at least 2 minutes
Add on a number of free kicks and I think your well to the 7 minute mark if not more.

Many readers were no doubt somewhat taken aback by some of the recent letters on our opinion page from folks who'd slipped and fallen on Breckenridge sidewalks and wanted to castigate the town (or whomever) for not doing a better job keeping sidewalks clear of ice and snow.While I have plenty of sympathy for anyone who falls and seriously injures himself, the notion that a town at 9,600 feet in the Colorado Rockies can keep all of its sidewalks clear of snow and ice all winter long is ridiculous. The added assertion that if the town would just cut all those pesky child care and housing subsidies they could afford to do a better job making Breck more like Miami is equally absurd. Flatlanders fall more around here because they're unfamiliar with how to walk on ice and snow; the same reason they tend to get in more trouble driving. It takes time and experience to learn how to navigate an icy path, although the basics are simple enough: more slowly, and flat-footed, with your weight over your feet. Shoes with decent treads doesn't hurt, either. And yes, locals may fall once in a while, but we keep it to ourselves and hope like hell no one saw.Right now it may seem a receding problem, what with these eerily sunny (albeit enjoyable) days as of late. Don't forget March and April are statistically our snowiest months, so don't break out the beach chairs and flip-flops just yet.***Recently I joined Silverthorne reporter Janice Kurbjun on a visit to the Silverthorne home of Charlie and Ginny Crowley, two of the homeowners currently embroiled in a civic battle with the town over whether a paved recpath should run through part of their property. I wanted to see first-hand what their concerns were and the proximity of said path to their home. It's tempting to look at holdouts like the Crowleys and the neighbors joining them as simply spoilsports who won't yield an inch for the greater good. After all, Summit County is known for its excellent system of recpaths, and Silverthorne has been a notable gap in that system for years. It's right for the town to pursue completion of the path, and understandably frustrating that a handful of homeowners are holding up the works.On the other hand, it'd be hard to find anyone who would happily go along with a government taking of their property if it was counter to their desires. Looking at the Crowleys' backyard and at the simple dirt path that wanders past at the bottom of the hill, I can understand how having a much wider, paved path full of cyclists would concern a couple who worked hard and was able to retire to a peaceful home along the river. And as property owners, shouldn't it be their call?It's not clear how this will end up, but one thing seems clear: By taking the more aggressive path of eminent domain, the town increasingly looks like the bully. It's simply not how a government, large or small, should treat its citizens.***Here's a question: How does training in criminal justice and years of police work qualify you to be a town manager? Presumably the latter requires training and experience in planning & zoning, civic infrastructure, long-range planning, public works and the like. With the exception of basic management tasks like budgeting, hiring and firing, etc., it seems the chief wouldn't have many of those qualifications.This is an interesting question locally since Dillon's police chief Joe Wray is in the running for town manager there, while Breck's chief, Rick Holman, is moving into the assistant town manager slot being vacated by long-timer Kate Boniface. Of course, as men who know the towns in question very well, they would certainly have a leg up on some things, and who knows - maybe someone outside the typical manager profile would come with some useful, fresh insights. It'll be interesting to see, but it's also something those towns' citizens should be asking about.***On a personal note, the Summit Daily family is sad to see our longtime A&E and special sections editor Kimberly Nicoletti moving on. Friday is her last day, and Kim plans to stay in the county and pursue some freelance and creative writing projects - including occasional stories for us. She is planning her own farewell for tomorrow's Scene section, so I'll be brief and simply note that Kim's been a key member of our team over the last decade. She's the kind of writer who always looks for a more creative way to express a thought while also being a highly successful word technician - rarely a comma out of place.We'll miss you Kim, and we wish you the best in whatever you do.Summit Daily editor Alex Miller can be reached at email@example.com or (970) 668-4618.

The Michigan Capitol is shown at twilight Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009, in Lansing, Mich. Lawmakers continue work on budget bills that deal with a $2.8 billion shortfall before an Oct. 1 deadline. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A Republican Michigan lawmaker has re-introduced legislation aimed at fighting human trafficking in Michigan.
Sen. Judy Emmons of Sheridan introduced legislation this week that would make the solicitation for prostitution of 16- or 17-year-olds a felony. It would also increase the penalties to no more than five years in prison or a fine of no more than $10,000, or both.
Emmons says her bill is going after "the root of the problem" by targeting those who solicit prostitutes. She adds that says that Michigan is a "hot spot" for human trafficking because of the state's international borders and waterways.
Emmons also introduced the legislation last session, but it died in the House.

If interested, take the following steps:
1. Plan your activity in advance. Street closings require a completed petition at least FOUR WEEKS prior to an event.
2. Read the Block Party Regulations.
3. Print the Block Party Request and Petition.
4. Complete the petition form by acquiring signatures from 75% of the residents on the affected portion of the street being closed and return it to CDOT. Fax the form and petition to CDOT at 704-336-4400 or mail to:
Public Service & Communications Division
600 East Fourth Street
Charlotte, NC 28202
5. A representative from the Public Service & Communications Division will contact you when your permit is approved, and will help guide you as to where to close your street and what equipment to use. The City does not provide barricades to block streets. Residents are required to provide their own barricades.
6. Remember that streets must be closed from block (cross street) to block (cross street). For instance, you cannot block off a portion of a street in front of only a few homes.
We hope your event is a big success! Remember plan early and contact CDOT's Public Service & Communications Division for the required paperwork.

The only real issue I have come across using PMS on OSX is the lack of support for some special characters in filenames. Is there perhaps a setting that will fix this?
Some of the characters that dont work are: þ æ ö ó í é á
A file with any of these characters will not appear on my PS3 or my Sony TV. (perhaps a sony problem?)
These characters are all supported in filenames in OSX and most other software. In fact I cant think of another software that does not support these characters in filenames. So the problem is somewhere between PMS and my PS3.

1. The great laptop ad campaign: 10:03
BarCampEarthToronto was a blast, and so was my laptop ad campaign.
It didn't generate any qualified leads, but it did get Orange & Bronze and Wordpress.org some warm-and-fuzzy feelings, and now it's a good story.
It's about time that we stopped advertising just Apple or Dell. ;) Do something creative with your laptop cover! Double-sided tape peels off quite cleanly, so go do something funky with it! =)
On Technorati: advertising, marketing, laptop
2. Emacs: Keep track of messages sent: 12:06
Because a Big Brother Database of my contacts isn't complete if I don't keep track of what e-mail I sent them and when I sent it, this bit of Emacs Lisp code adds Gnus subjects to the BBDB records of the people to whom I sent e-mail.
(defun sacha/gnus-add-subject-to-bbdb-record () "Add datestamped subject note for each person this message has been sent to." (let* ((subject (concat (planner-today) ": E-mail: " (message-fetch-field "Subject") "\n")) (bbdb-get-addresses-headers (list (assoc 'recipients bbdb-get-addresses-headers))) records) (setq records (bbdb-update-records (bbdb-get-addresses nil gnus-ignored-from-addresses 'gnus-fetch-field) nil nil)) (mapc (lambda (rec) (bbdb-record-set-notes rec (concat subject (bbdb-record-notes rec)))) records))) (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'sacha/gnus-add-subject-to-bbdb-record)
It should be really easy to set up Gnus to expand some kind of !followup macro into a TODO item in my planner and an "I hope to hear from you by ....". Ridiculously easy with Emacs Lisp and an insanely customizable editor, but I might not have enough battery life. I've got 28 minutes, and then I'm off PC for a while.
On Technorati: emacs, lisp, bbdb, pimpmyemacs, hack
3. More Emacs coolness: List of contacts: 12:14
This bit of Emacs Lisp code produces a Planner-ready list of the contacts displayed in the BBDB window.
(defun sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb (&optional record) "If called from a bbdb buffer, return an annotation. Suitable for use in `planner-annotation-functions'." (when (or record (eq major-mode 'bbdb-mode)) (setq record (if record (car record) (bbdb-current-record))) (or (bbdb-record-getprop record 'plan) ;; From a BBDB entry with a plan page; use that. Yay! (planner-make-link (concat "bbdb://" (planner-replace-regexp-in-string " " "." (bbdb-record-name record))) (bbdb-record-name record))))) (defalias 'planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb 'sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb) (defun sacha/yank-planner-bbdb-list () "Copy the list of people displayed in the buffer." (interactive) (kill-new (mapconcat 'sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb bbdb-records ", ")) (sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb rec))
It allows me to say, for example, that I met 23 people yesterday: Bruce, Daniel Charles, Shane D'Costa, Emily, Greg A. Fitz, Clara Fong, Jay Goldman, Harvey, Kai Fai Ho, Iris, KC, Charles McCulloch, Jamie McQuay, Joshua Meles, Naomi, Helen Overland, Wayne Penney, Simon Rowland, San, Colin Smillie, Solomon, Le Quan Truong, Perry Wong

PHOENIX -- The A's bullpen took a bit of a hit Friday with the news that Sean Doolittle and Ryan Cook, the lefty-righty setup punch the last two seasons, aren't healthy enough to start spring training without restrictions.
Doolittle suffered a right calf injury while running a few days ago and will be brought along slowly, but it doesn't seem his opening day (March 31 vs. Cleveland) is endangered.
The same can't be said for Cook. "I'm not going to be ready come Game 1 of spring training," he said. "That's not the goal; I want to be ready for Game 1 of the season."
Manager Bob Melvin said the club's thinking is that the right-hander's status, which was described as inflammation in the shoulder, "is not serious" but added that the pain in Cook's right shoulder will keep him off the mound for the near term.
Melvin pointed out that last spring the club held Cook and Doolittle out of early drills because of their workload down the stretch in 2012, and both pitchers were fresh and in form come April.
The injuries underscore the importance of the offseason moves that brought relievers Jim Johnson and Luke Gregerson into the fold. If Cook and/or Doolittle can't be ready for the opener, the club should be covered and not feel any need to rush them.
Melvin said one other pitcher, Fernando Rodriguez, will be held out of Cactus League games early on and might not pitch in a big league spring game at all.
Rodriguez said he's been throwing for a month after taking 2013 off to recover from Tommy John-style ligament replacement surgery, and added, "I can't wait to get started."
Even Melvin admits Rodriguez has "the ball flying out of his hand."
The manager said the plan is to have Rodriguez work with pitchers during their drills but not to throw on the same kind of schedule as healthy pitchers.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball teamed clinched its first Southland Conference Tournament victory in school history Friday with a 3-1 victory (25-23, 25-27, 25-23, 25-21) over Sam Houston State in the Dugan Wellness Center. The team made its second consecutive appearance in the tournament and third overall and powered its way to the semifinals. The Islanders will face No. 1 Central Arkansas tomorrow at 1:30 p.m.
The Islanders clinched its 20th win of the season to improve to 20-11 and were powered by four players in double figures. Brianna Brink led the offense with 16 kills while Ashley Phelps chipped in 14 kills. Sarah Sanchez matched her career high with 13 kills on an impressive .462 hitting and Ivy Baresh registered her 16th double-double of the season with 10 kills and 12 digs. Senior Logen Bourque passed out 54 assists and tallied nine digs. Defensively, the Islanders were solid with a match-high 82 digs. Shayla Maldonado propelled the team with a match-high 23 digs and Hailey King added 20.
Devene Wells-Gibson led the Bearkats (17-11, 14-4 SLC) with a match-high 27 kills on .217 hitting. The match featured 36 ties and 13 lead changes.
In the first set, the Islanders and Bearkats were even early on before a 3-0 run by the Islanders pushed the team ahead 14-13 and forced Sam Houston State to call its first timeout. Both teams traded points back and forth until five straight points by the Bearkats gave them a 23-19 advantage. However, the Islanders rallied back to score six consecutive points to clinch the set 25-23. During the run, Brink hit three straight kills and Shaquinn Parker chipped in one. The Islanders hit .256 in the set and held the Bearkats to just .200 hitting.
Sam Houston State bounced back to win the second set 27-25 which mirrored the first set, with 13 ties and three lead changes. The Islanders and Bearkats battled early on before a 3-0 run by Sam Houston State pushed the team ahead 11-8. The Islanders responded with three straight points of their own to knot the set at 11-11. The Bearkats stayed in front until a trio of points by Sanchez evened the set back up at 15-15. The Islanders garnered the lead at 18-15 after three straight points and held its lead to 22-18. The Bearkats followed with a 4-0 run to tie the set at 22-22 before edging the Islanders 27-25 on a 5-3 run.
The Islanders controlled the third set with an early 7-4 lead. After a 3-0 run by Sam Houston State, the Islanders tacked on five straight points to pad its lead to 12-7. The Islanders held the lead until a 6-1 run by the Bearkats tied the set at 19-19. Both teams traded points back and forth before tying again at 22-22. Brink followed with consecutive kills and the Islanders went on to win 25-23.
In the fourth set, the Islanders were explosive, hitting .268 and limiting the Bearkats to just .179 hitting. After battling back and forth early on, the Islanders jumped ahead 13-10 after straight kills by Baresh and Sanchez. The Islanders stayed in front until a 3-0 run by the Bearkats gave them a 17-16 lead. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi rallied back with three straight points to take the lead for good at 19-17. During the run, Brink and Baresh both added kills. Following a Bearkat timeout, Baresh and Brink once again hit consecutive kills to pad the Islanders' lead to 21-18. After Sam Houston State cut the Islanders' lead to one, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi capped the set with three straight points to win its first ever Southland Conference tournament match, 25-21.

This is a commonly traffic-ed early show from Hunt's. The show contains both Jeff and Page during a rare period in the band. It's important to point out that at this stage, Page had recently joined the band (first sit-in performance 5/3/85 at UVM's last day party and first official performance just a month before this show) but Jeff hadn't quite gotten the boot just yet. What is quite noticeable is the difficulty with which these two members have in finding their own voice within the mix. It's essentially as if the band has not one but two rhythm sections, and neither knows whom should play what. This is most noticeable in the nascent Possum.
The show starts off with the first Harry Hood ever. Trey explains "this one is the story about the man who lives directly across the street from us." He also elaborates on how it is the story of Harry's "vacation across the globe, to the sunny beaches of Greece", a reference to Trey and Fish's escapades eating acid in Greece (explained in the Phish Book); as well, Trey references Brian Long, his roommate, along with Fish, at the time.
The version has some the same 'general' structure as today. Page is pretty quiet throughout the mix and hasn't really written his parts into the song yet. Particularly, the building 'one-two-three' section is intact, but the Trey solo-breakdown after that is without a Trey solo, has Jeff playing a lower-toned solo (or maybe that's trey with a weird pedal), and lasts several measures longer than today. It stretches on quite long, but eventally makes it to the start and stop section. The Jam on this version is quite noisy because there are so many voices in the band and there is no ending solo. At the end, Mike says "one day they will pay us to do that, I know it", which is funny in retrospect.
Dog Log follows and Page's contribution is noticeable here. Possum, the first version ever played, is incredibly different - the tempo by Fish is essentially the same as Dog Log played before it. Jeff is on vocals, with Trey kind of moaning in the background. Instead of a Trey solo, Page "shows [us] the way". This is the weirdest Possum, maybe, ever, or, as Jeff says "just a little ditty I wrote...what the heck."
Before Slave, Trey references the previous Goddard show that the band couldn't play because they were apparently too incapacitated to perform. Mike, however, says 'deja vu', which is pretty funny. Slave is notable just because Page's contribution noticeably edges Jeff's previous role out.
Sneaking Sally follows, with a vocal jam in the middle, with Trey, Mike, and Jeff singing their parts. 'I Wish', a "dance song", the Stevie Wonder cover comes next. Mike chimes in "hippies have a right to dance too", which is apropos, since this is probably the best song of the night. They do a pretty good job with this one, including a nice solo by Page.
The Allman's 'Revival' is appropriate for the 2 guitar lineup, but isn't particularly noteworthy. Prior to Alumni Blues>LTJP>Alumni, Trey pitches the radio station at UVM that he used to DJ for - Alumni is actually pretty good, considering the chaos in the band.
The best part of the show, however, is Prep School Hippie. This rare early gem is the shining part of this show. The band nails it and the bridge is definitely a Phish mini-jam that everyone should hear. It's very McGrupp-esque. Skippy closes. It is much better than the 1984 Nectar's version with the Dude of Life, and at this point, is pretty much McGrupp with different lyrics. The jam at the end, however, is much more Allman's-ey than what you'll hear these days - likely a holdover for the fact that there are 2 guitars in the band.
Overall, an early show with some funky early versions of Phish classics. The band is still trying to figure out their style, and the dynamics between the members. It's almost like they can't decide whether Jeff or Page should play particular parts. There's some good banter and Prep School Hippie is worth a listen (particularly because it is the lone version without a Trey solo and has a wonderful chord progression in the bridge), as is "I Wish". The Sound Quality of most versions is quite poor, though, so be prepared for some serious tape hiss!

Sony Pictures is close to signing a deal with Ubisoft to turn period-piece adventure game Assassin's Creed into a movie, Variety reports. More importantly, it sounds like the deal could actually result in a movie you'd want to watch.
The deal comes after a reported bidding war between several studios including Sony and Universal. Last summer Ubisoft launched Ubisoft Motion Pictures as part of a move to expand beyond gaming and become a transmedia company.
In theory, the new arm of Ubisoft would keep a close eye on the production of the movie to make sure it doesn't become, well, almost every other video game turned into movie: Bad. Variety reports that this ability to maintain creative control over the film was a key factor in the negotiations, which I'll take to be a very good sign.
Apparently Sony is as interested in Assassin's Creed as most of you are. Variety reports that they don't want to just make it into a movie, but rather bet on it become a major release with some future in the theater.
Earlier this year, Ubisoft Toronto managing director Jade Raymond talked about the importance of the Assassin's Creed brand to Ubisoft. The game was quickly identified as a creative concept that has the ability to transcend one medium and become, as Raymond put it, a "widely shared pass-time."

"Tiny Prints has provided great customer service and consistent phenomenal quality whenever we order our family invitations or cards. I continue to use this company for all my stationary needs again and again!"
"As always, the customer service and timeliness from Tiny Prints was excellent. I have been a repeat customer for nearly five years and this card has received the most compliments by far. Love this design, the graphic online does not do it justice!"
"Our image was formatted to fit before placing it into the template. Photo was taken on an iPhone and the printed lazer print cards were PERFECT! so unusual unlike any of our friends cards and lovely because of its one sided/postcard like style allowed me to write a little personal message on the back! If you purchase this you will not be disappointed!"
"This was the first year I ordered a photo card for Christmas. I really perused through the TinyPrints website, and carefully selected this card. We had taken a wonderful trip to Ireland in September and wanted to capture it on our cards. I wanted a card that had a good amount of photos. We were thrilled with the way these cards turned out, and received a lot of compliments from friends and family members who received them. The ease of using the website and creating and saving templates was super! I would definitely order from TinyPrints again! Bravo for a great product!"
"Was really happy with the way it turned out. My only complaint is that I wish there was a way to include a small picture with a large block of text on the back--this design only allowed for a small block of text if there was a picture. We did a large block of text with no picture, but I feel like it would have been easy to fit a small picture on there as well."

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has revised their guideline on clinical and nonclinical issues related to biosimilars that contain biotechnology-derived proteins. The guideline includes requirements for marketing authorization of a biosimilar claiming to be similar to a biological product already marketed. The revised guideline updates the previous 2006 guidance and is open for public consultation for six months.
The revision provides additional guidance on the risk-based approach for the design of non-clinical studies; the use of pharmacodynamic markers for the demonstration of clinical comparability; study design (non-inferiority versus equivalence), choice of an appropriate patient population, and choice of surrogate endpoints in efficacy trials; the design of immunogenicity studies; and extrapolation of efficacy and safety from one therapeutic indication to another.

McConnell's Tricky Dance on Immigration
The Senate is expected to approve on Thursday or Friday a big immigration overhaul bill, an important move toward what could become the most sweeping change in the immigration system in a quarter of a century.
And it's hard to avoid concluding that the reaction of Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) will be: Good riddance.
No senator has appeared as conflicted over the course of the debate as Sen. McConnell has. Nor has anyone so deftly avoided being pinned down on the contentious issue.
On the one hand, Sen. McConnell is one of the leaders of a Republican party in which many believe GOP support for a new immigration system is essential to rebuilding the party's frayed relationship with Hispanic voters. On the other hand, many of the party's conservatives remain dead set against the immigration overhaul that's taken shape, and they've made clear they are capable of taking aim at Sen. McConnell over the issue when he seeks re-election next year.
This has left Sen. McConnell in a pickle. So, on Monday he issued a statement saying he would vote against the key amendment to the legislation, which beefed up border security, and essentially came out in opposition to the bill itself. But he didn't say he was against passing immigration reform; he said instead there needed to be more time devoted to debate. "The American people deserve effective reform, but they will not get it without a full and open debate," he said.
Now the bill is nearing completion anyway, and appears ready to pass with more than a dozen GOP votes. So Sen. McConnell told reporters this week that he now hopes Republicans in the House, on the other side of the Capitol, will come up with a different and better bill he can support: "So, I look forward to seeing what the House can do."
Meantime, he has adopted a low profile during the long and difficult debate, letting a deputy, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, take the lead in critiquing the legislation.
None of that, though, has been enough to stop Sen. McConnell from feeling some heat on his right. The Senate Conservatives Fund, a political action committee, issued a statement this week chiding Sen. McConnell for working with President Barack Obama on three other fiscal bills earlier, and declared: "The big question conservatives are asking now is if Senator McConnell will help President Obama enact a fourth deal that grants amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants…A simple 'no' vote is not enough from a leader. We need him to deliver results by defeating the bill."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- A 14-year-old who brought a gun to the First Baptist Church of North Augusta on Friday is now facing criminal charges.
Church leaders and parents are glad someone reported finding it when they did.
"We understand how tragic this could have been," said Lt. Tim Thornton of North Augusta Public Safety.
Thornton, the public information officer for the department, says, "Students did the right thing in notifying authorities when they saw this."
A loaded Glock 45 is what the teen brought to a church service. Thornton says this all seems to be a mistake.
"This is a 14-year-old teenager who accidentally brought a gun. He had no criminal intent, no malicious intent to hurt anybody. We have no evidence to support that," Thornton said.
The teenager told Public Safety he went hunting earlier in the day and forgot the gun was in his jacket. However, Thornton says he can understand how some folks, especially parents, find that hard to believe.
"I can easily agree with ya when you have a real loaded firearm, but I want to focus on the kids that did the right thing by reporting it, and I want to focus on the fact nothing did happen," Thornton said.
Pastor Doug Page of First Baptist Church agrees but says he also doesn't want anyone who visits his church to be afraid.
"We can't live in fear. We have to continue on with our lives and we have to do that. We have to be wise, cunning, but at the same time, we can't live in fear, we've got to live our lives," Page said.
Kevin Steele, the parent of a middle school student in the area, says even though he wants to be sensitive to the situation, the responsibility doesn't fall on the teen.
"Ultimately the parent is responsible for what his kid is doing," Steele said.
Despite, the close call, Thornton, who also goes to FBC of North Augusta, says he's comfortable with sending his kids to the church.
"There is not a safer place. We can't prevent everything that is going to happen, but if my kids want to go to locker room, I will have them there," Thorton said.
The name of the teen was not released because he is underage.
Thornton says the teen felt very remorseful and knew it was a mistake. He says the parents were also surprised when they arrived. The teen was released to his parents until he has court. He was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.

Mt. Eden was one of the better North Coast Section Division II boys basketball teams last season.
Hoping for a top five or so seed in the playoffs, the Monarchs were instead dealt the No. 9 seed. They were sent on the road for their playoff opener -- a 62-59 win over Clayton Valley -- and then saw their season end with a quarterfinal loss to top-seeded Newark Memorial.
Mt. Eden fought tough against the eventual NCS champion Cougars, but a 13-0 Newark Memorial run in the third quarter was Mt. Eden's undoing. The Monarchs haven't forgotten that loss or the perceived snub by the NCS seeding committee.
"It fuels me," Mt. Eden coach Aaron O'Brien said.
The fuel has worked well at the start of this season. Fresh off Friday's road win over Castro Valley, the Monarchs took an 11-1 record into Wednesday night's showdown with West Alameda Country Conference-Foothill Division power Bishop O'Dowd.
Knowing how close Mt. Eden was to a breakthrough last season -- a win over Newark would've clinched a berth in the California Interscholastic Federation Northern Regional playoffs -- the Monarchs are simply working to get better.
"We missed 10 free throws in the third quarter (against Newark), and that was kind of the rallying point this offseason," O'Brien said. "If we make our free throws, the game could've been different. We were at Newark, in the game, and we didn't get it done."
This year's team is experienced and led by seniors Noel Briones, Stevinair Young and Cameron Clerkley. Briones and Young had 22 and 21, respectively, against Castro Valley.
"We have an experienced group, they're veterans in every sense of the word," O'Brien said. "They show up to practice every day, want to be coached and are willing to pay the price."
Mt. Eden may still not have the respect of being one of the top teams in the area, but O'Brien said that's for others to worry about.
"We feel like we've been knocking on the door," he said. "If other people don't think we've arrived, that's their problem. We're just doing what we think we're supposed to."
PANTHERS POUNCE EARLY: The St. Mary's girls basketball team hasn't shied away from good competition so far this season.
"We always schedule tough," St. Mary's coach Nate Fripp said. "It's a normal year."
The Panthers, ranked third in this week's East Bay poll, went 8-2 in its first 10 nonleague games. The rough nonleague road continues Saturday at No. 1 Bishop O'Dowd (7-3) at 4 p.m.
"I expect it to be a good game," Fripp said. "We know their players really well; they know us really well."
The Panthers opened some eyes nationally when they defeated Long Beach Poly 47-45 in the championship game of the Joe Smith Division at the Nike Tournament of Champions on Dec. 22.
"We needed one of those signature-type of wins, outside of the area," Fripp said. "That kind of put us on the map a little bit."
St. Mary's losses this season have been to Carondelet, 70-64 on Dec. 15, and St. Mary's-Stockton, 67-55 on Jan. 5, entering this week.
"When you schedule tough, when league starts, you want to be above .500. I didn't put a number on it -- 8-2 is great," Fripp said. "I just feel that we could have played better in the two games we did lose."
The team's two junior stars, Gabby Green and Mikayla Cowling, have been consistently excellent. Green produced the winning basket in the Long Beach Poly victory and was averaging 14.5 points per game entering this week. Cowling, a Cal commit, averaged 15.1 points per game entering this week.
The Panthers do not have the services of transfer MaAne' Mosley, however. The sophomore suffered a knee injury and Fripp does not see her playing any time soon.

Ray Hudson's first 10 catches were nice, but his 11th was best of all. That's because it iced Foothill's win at Granada.
Foothill (4-3, 2-1 East Bay Athletic League) controlled the tenor of the game from the opening drive, when it marched down the field and scored on a 1-yard run by Jamirr Holland. Quarterback Kyle Kearns had a great day under center for Foothill, slicing the Granada defense with quick passes all night. He finished 19 of 26 for 245 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions, but the star was Hudson.
"They were daring us to throw, so we wanted to throw on 'em," Foothill coach Matt Sweeney said. "It was a tough game."
Kearns and Hudson connected on a 51-yard touchdown in the second quarter before the teams traded scores in the second half. Derek Granados scored a 2-yard touchdown in the third quarter to make it 14-7 but Foothill answered with a long drive that resulted in a 2-yard touchdown from Griffith Gates.
Granada (3-4, 0-3) cut the deficit to seven points again in the fourth when Tyler Offill did a play-action bootleg for a 5-yard touchdown, but Foothill kept the ball the final 5:44 to close it out.

To the Editor:
I am proud to claim J.W. Gibson as a friend. He has left a lasting legacy in Oak Ridge. He has built hundreds of new homes in the west end of Oak Ridge, first on West Outer Drive, then in Country Club Estates, then in GreenView with Keith Cole, and finally in Southwood.
He built the Jackson tower complex and filled it with high tech government contractors. He located a steel fabrication plant and used it to create steel support members instead of wood.
Perhaps he will best be remembered for his charitable works. He started from very humble beginnings and he was always ready to help the poor. In recent years as the demand for new houses waned, he put his crew to work farming and harvested crops for the Second Harvest Food Bank.
As I drive around Oak Ridge, I remember the work he has done. May he be long and well remembered.

An alternate history is that George Lois created the typeface for Golden. ITC Didi is likely inspired by this design.

Mount Sinai Children's Environmental Health Center to hold Workshop
The Mount Sinai Children's Environmental Health Center, in partnership with Autism Speaks, is holding a one day workshop, Exploring the Environmental Causes of Autism and Learning Disabilities, at the New York Academy of Medicine on Wednesday, December 8, 2010. The goal of the workshop will be to develop new strategies for discovery of environmental risk factors for autism, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
The workshop will help identify opportunities to study gene/environment interactions in autism, and help guide research priorities for the newly formed Autism and Learning Disabilities Discovery and Prevention Program at Mount Sinai. Scientists from National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and leading academic institutions from around the world will present recent research and engage in discussions to identify gaps and opportunities, especially in the area of environmental causation by toxic chemicals.
Participation is open to the public, but because space is limited, registration is required. Please see the flyer for details.

Takashi Shimizu is one of the few filmmakers who has been able to do it.

One of the free services that the Little Nell, a luxury hotel in Colorado at the base of Aspen Mountain, offers its guests is a ski concierge. Here's an edited chat with Ray McNutt, a 10-year veteran:
How do ski concierges help guests get ready for skiing?
We book their lift tickets and their lessons. If they brought their own skis here, we pick them up at the airport and get them ready. If they rented skis from a ski shop in town, we'll pick those up, too. We also store skis for guests who come a couple times a year. We tune up skis at night.
In the morning, you come down from your room in your slippers, and we help you get your boots on, if you need that assistance. We give any information about the conditions, good runs, any advisories. We hand you your skis, and the gondola is just 30 steps away.
The days I grew up skiing -- getting out at a dirt parking lot and schlepping all your stuff -- it's not at all like that.
Any other perks?
Guests can sign up to do one run down the mountain before it opens at 9 in the morning. It's beautiful: The light is different; it's quiet; you're the only person on the run. That's part of the complimentary service. On Saturdays, we set up a nice breakfast at the top of the mountain for $25.
What's one of the crazy requests you've gotten?
I got a call one Christmas Eve from a woman who desperately wanted to get a pair of Volkl skis for her 6-year-old daughter for Christmas morning. I called all over Aspen, and they were sold out, but I found a store in Vail that had them. I sent a driver over to pick them up. I pulled some strings with a ski shop here to open early to put the bindings on. Got the skis drilled, wrapped them up and had them in the room at 6:45 with 15 minutes to spare. That was above and beyond.

Editorial: Manatee school leader
Choice for superintendent offers new approach
Published: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 7:28 p.m.
Manatee County's school district has a long tradition -- for better and for worse -- of selecting superintendents from within.
Unfortunately, the career of Tim McGonegal -- the last superintendent who ascended from within the ranks -- ended horribly last year. Despite his efforts to engage both educators and the community, a series of miscues -- including an inexplicable budgeting failure -- led to his resignation in September, before he could be fired.
The School Board voted Wednesday to hire a new superintendent from the outside -- way outside the community, state and Southeast. If contract negotiations come to fruition, Rick Mills -- the 58-year-old chief executive of Minneapolis Public Schools -- will lead the Manatee district.
Seldom in the modern history of Manatee's public schools has the district more desperately needed new leadership.
The administration has been dysfunctional and in dis year.
Although all school districts faced financial challenges during and after the recession, Manatee's problems have consistently been more severe and frequent than most in our region.
Relations between the administration and teachers union soured. Even the district's most ardent supporters lost confidence in the School Board and administration.
For decades, Manatee was known for its stable leadership, developed from within the ranks.
But, starting in 1994, the district hired superintendents with no experience in Manatee. The first outsider, Gene Denisar, had a tumultuous tenure that ended in 1999. Roger Dearing, who was hired away from Indian River County in 2003, made progress in Manatee. But Dearing's arrogance eventually wore thin, and he left for another job.
The School Board looked inward again and hired McGonegal, who had been the district's chief financial officer; the budgeting errors and insufficient academic achievement at low-income schools effectively forced the School Board to look for a replacement with no local connections.
In addition to leading the Minneapolis schools, Mills worked previously as an administrator for Chicago's public schools. He entered public education after serving 24 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a lieutenant colonel.
Mills was the School Board's slight favorite, edging out Diana Greene, a former deputy superintendent in Florida's Marion County, who gained support for her expertise in curriculum and success in closing achievement gaps between students.
The troubling fact is that, despite deep pockets of success in many of Manatee's schools, the district needs high-quality, expert leadership in virtually every aspect of operations -- strategic planning, budgeting, consensus-building, curriculum development and academics.
Skill in politics will be necessary as well. An anti-government movement in Manatee has had disproportionate influence on the school district, questioning the value of public investments in education. Unfortunately, the budgeting mistakes and other errors reinforced the movement's arguments, undermining public support for schools.
Mills told Herald-Tribune reporter Katy Bergen that he has a "100-Day Transition Plan" ready for implementation upon his arrival.
It will take more than 100 days to rebuild community trust and demonstrate sustainable success. But if Mills is hired and can show progress in less than four months, the community will stand and salute.

We've provided the step-by-step video and cake-shape template. You provide the icing and fun!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch cake pan with wax paper. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions for the pound-cake recipe. (Add the pudding mix, increase the number of eggs to 4, and decrease the water to 1 cup.) Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; about 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, and then invert the cake ont a rack and allow it to cool completely.
Line a cookie sheet with a piece of wax paper. Place the chocolate chips into a resealable bag and microwave (with the bag open) on high for about 30 seconds or until the chocolate chips are melted. Snip a small corner from the bag and pipe a "Y" about 3 inches long onto the wax paper. (This will be Dora's cowlick.) Transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator until ready to use.
Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting (for Dora's eyes) into a resealable bag and set aside. Mix 2 tablespoons of the vanilla frosting with 2 tablespoons of the chocolate frosting (for Dora's irises) and spoon this lighter chocolate frosting into a resealable bag; set it aside. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a golden brown using the orange and brown food paste coloring. Tint 3 tablespoons a darker shade of this color and spoon it into a resealable bag (for Dora's nose and chin); set it aside.
Trim the top of the cake with a large serrated knife to make it level. Place the cake trimmed side down onto a serving platter. Using the cake template, cut the cake and discard the scraps. Use the template again to score or mark outlines of Dora's face and hair with a toothpick. Frost the top and side of Dora's face first with the golden-brown frosting. Spread some of the chocolate frosting on the side of the cake (for the sides of Dora's hair). Spoon the remaining chocolate frosting into a resealable bag and sip a corner from bag. Pipe on Dora's hair.
Mark the center of Dora's eyes with a toothpick. Snip a small corner from the vanilla-frosting bag and pipe in the eyes. Snip a small corner from the light-chocolate bag and pipe the irises. Add candy-coated chocolates and a dot of white to finish Dora's eyes.
On a clean work surface, press the two pieces of fruit leather together, overlapping them slightly. Cut out the mouth shape according to the template. Place the mouth on the cake and pipe a line around it with the red decorating frosting. Snip a small corner from the bag with the dark golden-brown frosting and pipe on Dora's nose and chin. Peel Dora's cowlick from the wax paper and insert it into top of her head. (You may need to use a toothpick to stabilize it.)

Chalk Markers
20 comments:
How did I not know about these? I've been dying to use chalk paint somewhere in my house, but can't stand the thought of Chalk dust everywhere! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
That's exactly what I thought! These are awesome!ReplyDelete
I have heard you are not supposed to use chalk markers on chalkboard walls. They say it doesn't erase all the way. I'm hoping that's not the case. I have been wanting to use the markers for quite some time!ReplyDeleteReplies
they don't erase all the way so be careful :(Delete
I am a fan of these too. They are also great on pantry chalkboard labels because they do not brush off. I just love the chalkboard in your kitchen. Such a great place for it.ReplyDelete
did you draw that thanksgiving wreath? love it! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!ReplyDelete
Word of caution...if it is left up too long, it will not come off all the way (the color will, but what you wrote won't). I had to repaint my kitchen chalk board!! UGH!!! It only seems to happen on surfaces painted with chalkboard paint. For instance, my SL chalkboard that came with a finished surface has been fine.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good to know Lauren- I'll try taking mine off today to see what happens.Delete
Thank you!!!! I have never heard of these before. I have been dying to make a chalkboard for our home but the thought of all the chalk dust makes me crazy. You just solved my problem! Yay! Happy Thanksgiving!ReplyDelete
Genius gotta get some for myself :)ReplyDelete
Love how the markers say "Join the chalk revolution" True, seems to be everywhere these days. Guess it's because it's so awesome, just like these markers!!!ReplyDelete
I had no idea about this product. Thanks for the info. because I love these and am going to try them for sure!ReplyDelete
I use these markers all the time (I work at starbucks and do all of our sign artwork) and it is true that if you leave them on for too long that they will leave a faint outline of whatever you have drawn/written on the surface. It helps to clean it off with windex though, instead of just soap and water.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing! I love these! I wish they were not so pricey. I have seen something similar at Hobby Lobby.ReplyDelete
I have those same markers and use them for labeling a lot - but they do tend to leave a "stain" - I've found that nail polish remover with acetone works well to erase. Your thanksgiving message is so pretty!ReplyDelete
They are great and so much easier and less messy than chalk, well worth the extra $ over chalk. I've found window cleaner or vinager remove stubborn stains.ReplyDelete
That's so funny because I have a board in my kitchen and when you posted about yours I wondered how long you'd love it :) The dust is terrible. I too have the markers and love them!ReplyDelete
I love mine! They have thema at Michael's.ReplyDelete
you can also find them at Michael's. At least that's where I bought mine a few years ago.ReplyDelete
So how long is "too long" to leave up your chalk writing?ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I read every one! I try to answer questions in the comment section since many readers are "no reply" and so everyone can benefit from the response- so please check back. :)

Your "millions" figure is quite similar to the numbers people initially suggested would die in the bombing campaign. Do I need to point out how foolish those people look now, when the numbers they were pushing were 3 orders of magnitude greater than they are in reality?
play the hater:
People make vague comments such as this, "but a type of tyranny that the good ol' usa approves of and makes profits off too of course...." when in reality they have no idea what is going on, but intend to justify their positions by any means. You know very well that "the USA" can not possibly "make profits" from this war, but you use those words because they are inflammatory. Which corporations will be profiting from this, which tyrant will be instated? You have no idea, and neither do I. Keep it real. Why not point out some facts to us instead, rather than spitting out assumption after assumption. I've heard enough over the last 2 months that sound incredibly stupid today; please make the pain go away.

A Loyola education, firmly rooted in the Jesuit tradition, insists that service and outreach programs should be "at the core of every Jesuit university's program of studies" (Kolvenbach 2000). At the Center for Community Service and Justice, we specialize in developing and offering service programs which are also educational.
Service and justice are inextricably linked. Community service activities involve work with people who are marginalized in some way: people in need of food, shelter, and tutoring. Service activities help ensure people's comfort, success, and, in some cases, survival.
When we engage in service, however, we hope to not be content with the act of service itself, but instead our hope is that it provokes us to ask the question "Why?" Why do we need to be here serving this food? Why are the city schools not able to provide an adequate education for these children? Why are so many people in our city struggling to survive?
It is that "Why?" question which leads us to justice – the longer, broader, more systemic view. Our Jesuit and Christian mandate says that love of our neighbors means working to promote their dignity and ensuring their long-term health and safety.
We welcome and encourage all members of the Loyola community to join in our mission. Learn more about:
The Jesuit Mandate drives and inspires CCSJ in all of our efforts and programs and we strive to enliven the words of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. by further developing "men and women for and with others."
CCSJ offers three types of service experiences:
CCSJ also promotes justice education through speakers, workshops and trips that allow attendees to explore and think critically about issues that threaten the peaceful, healthy existence of individuals in local, national and international communities.
CCSJ houses and collaborates with the office of service-learning by sharing knowledge regarding potential community partner agencies and assisting in the mission of "education through service."

'What's a Breach?' Man Who Found Russian Hack Doesn't Want to Argue Semantics
One week after Alex Holden said he found "arguably the largest data breach to date," he doesn't want to argue semantics.
Holden, founder of Hold Security, gained a measure of fame last week when he said he had obtained 1.2 billion unique online credentials from a Russian gang.
Some competitors and independent experts questioned the scope of his claim. It was unclear, they said, how much of Holden's data came from previously known breaches or included old, invalid passwords. Just as unclear was how much data the Russian hackers had stolen themselves and how much they had collected from others.
"What's a breach?" Holden asked in a phone interview Tuesday. "I don't want to get into the semantics of 'What's a breach?' "
Answers to some questions may be unknowable – the share of data from new breaches, for example. "Everything was not fresh," Holden said. "Some of the information was fresh. It was hard to tell in what numbers."
Similarly, he said some of the data remains encrypted, but the "vast majority" isn't. As for how much of the data the gang stole itself versus obtained elsewhere, Holden said, "It's hard to tell."
Holden's remarks illustrate the challenges of studying the dark side of the Internet. Security researchers can face hard choices about whether to go public with limited knowledge to generate publicity and raise awareness, even if that prompts questions they can't answer.
Complicating matters, security companies often have a financial incentive to disclose threats, which can prompt individuals or companies to spend on cyberdefenses. In a blog post announcing the gang, which he dubbed "CyberVor," Holden offered to help website operators check if they were affected – for $120 a month. His website now says the service is $120 a year.
Security researcher Ashkan Soltani last week said the timing of Holden's disclosure and his plan to charge potential victims "seems predatory at best."
Holden declined multiple interview requests last week after the New York Times first reported his findings. He broke his silence Tuesday, telling Forbes that the controversy surrounding his claims has hurt his business.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Holden said it would be impossible for him to notify every business potentially affected by the hacks for free. He noted that antivirus software companies charge for similar services.
Holden said he has a tool that would let individuals check if they were affected by the breaches for free. He looked up the personal email address of a Journal reporter, and found a password the reporter has used in the past.
Holden wouldn't discuss how he obtained the data other than to stress he didn't steal anything from the cyberthieves. He said hackers have been "showing it to us."
One of his challenges, he said, is to comb through cybercrime forums to separate real criminals from hacker kids making unsubstantiated claims.
"There is a lot of misinformation," Holden said. "It is quite a difficult task for us to discern a truth from a lie."
