Pharming gets cash injection
02.08.2012 - Dutch Pharming Group NV has baged an equity working capital facility of up to €10m to push Ruconest (conestat alfa) to the US market.
The Leiden-based company secured a financing of up to €10m led by Kingsbrook Opportunities Master Fund LP. Ruconest, a recombinant C1 inhibitor to treat angioedema attacks in patients with the congenital disorder HEA. The drug is produced through the company's proprietary technology in milk of transgenic rabbits. The working capital facility should enable Pharming's cash runway to reach the anticipated read out of Study 1310 for Ruconest in the US and the associated US$10m milestone payment and a further US$5m upon acceptance of the BLA by the FDA from US partner, Santarus, Inc.
Pharming will have the option to draw from the working capital facility in tranches in exchange for ordinary shares in the capital. Pharming will retain control of the timing and amount of any funds draw down. Pharming must give notice to the Investors. The investors have the option to purchase up to 600% of the Draw Down Amount.
On signing, Kingsbrook and other investors will receive warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 16,500,000 ordinary shares in the capital of Pharming. When draw downs have exceeded a total of €2,5m and for every subsequent €2,5m drawn, the Investors will receive additional warrants to purchase up to an additional 16,5 million ordinary shares. The warrants have an exercise period of five years and are exercisable at a strike price equal to 110% of the average of the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares on the market for the 10 trading days prior to the signing of this agreement. Sijmen de Vries, CEO, said "Pharming is very pleased to have secured this facility against a backdrop of extremely difficult conditions in the capital markets." Currently Ruconest is in Phase III testing under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) that is intended to support the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study with the orphan drug, which is expressed in transgenic rabbits, is expected to be completed by autum this year.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/pharming-gets-cash-injection.html

As a manhunt for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing unfolded in and around her adopted city Friday, 2006 Marietta High School grad Kayleigh Durm had nothing to compare it to - in real life.
"Stuff you see in movies is happening 20 minutes away from where you live, and I am terrified," said Durm, 24, Friday afternoon as the search continued.
The explosions that killed three people and injured more than 150 others at the finish line of the famous race Monday and the aftermath captured the nation's attention for much of the week. On Friday morning, many Americans awoke to the news that two suspects of whom video had been released the day before had been identified and one of them killed in a clash with police.
But Durm had been riveted all night long. She learned about the fatal shooting of an MIT police officer just before she planned to go to bed and followed the events into the morning hours. She slept fitfully a few hours Friday morning
"I kept jolting awake. I was so on edge (because) I didn't know what was going on," she said.
Durm, a high school crew coach, spent the day in her Boston apartment, about 20 minutes from Watertown, where authorities were conducting a search for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The adult crew team she's on was scheduled to practice at 5 a.m., just across the river from Watertown, but that session was canceled. Her boyfriend went to work, but at a different site than his downtown Boston office.
"I've just been sitting on my couch, glued to my laptop," Durm said. "I haven't done anything else."
Despite the conditions, Durm emphasized the confidence she had in the law enforcement personnel and other first responders handling matters.
"Even though this is such an unsafe situation, I don't think I've ever felt safer," she said.
Adams Township native Thomas Simers, lives in Quincy, about five miles from Watertown and outside the area where people were asked to shelter in place. However, he did stay home Friday because Boston's Wheelock College, where he works, was on lockdown, and he kept in touch with friends who were in the affected areas.
"My friends who are actually in Watertown are all over Twitter," said Simers, 31. "They were feeling more bored than scared most of the time."
When the shelter-in-place order was briefly lifted Friday evening, Simers and his fiance drove into Boston to pick up a friend who'd spent the day in a dorm room at Andover Newton Theological School, where she is a graduate student.
Until he awoke Friday morning, Simers didn't know about the overnight events - including the deaths of the MIT officer and the other bombing suspect, Tsarnaev's brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan.
"There's nothing worse than the loss of life," Simers said. "Knowing that additional life has been lost ... it's just terrible that the violence keeps building. Because we can't heal until the violence stops."
Friday's events were also being monitored back in Washington County, including by Durm's family.
"We've been watching it pretty closely ever since she sent the first text to us 11 minutes after the first bomb blast," said her father, Tony Durm, 52, of Marietta.
As video and more information about the suspects was released Thursday, Tony Durm said he determined his daughter, who had been watching the marathon near the finish line, left the area of the first explosion around the time the men walked into the area.
"It was that close," he said. "It was pretty frightening, actually. And I'm not one that gets worked up or frightened easily."
Her proximity to the blast has also haunted Kayleigh Durm.
"It really made my stomach drop, thinking if I had stayed even 15 more minutes, where would I be?" she said.
Even so, Durm said calm returned to her - and a lot of the city - the day after the bombings as people tried to get back to their normal routines.
Beverly resident Marsha Quimby, 61, was in Boston Monday, in between and across the street from the two explosions as she waited for husband Roger to complete the marathon. That made Friday's events "a little more personal."
When she saw what was happening, she felt "just a little bit of disbelief ... to think that a 19-year-old and a 26-year-old has caused all this, and the gunfight," Quimby said.
Marietta College senior Krissy Rowe, of Toledo, also had a personal connection to the week's events. Her brother Kelley, 25, works in downtown Boston and was having lunch in a bar Monday across the street from the first explosion.
"He said it's a completely different kind of scare that he's never had before," Rowe said. "Just 'cause it's my brother made it a lot more real for me."
Rowe received text messages from her brother on Friday, and said things didn't "feel as out of control for me as before."

Post subject: I know I keep going on but..
I still havent decided on a name for this baby. I'm actually getting the point where I'm in tears as I know I'm going to be forced to go for a name im not 100% on.
I'm just so stressed.. What do I tell people when I announce her birth and have no name, or when people come to visit?? I honestly dont know what to do, I know everyone is going to pester me for a name soon as shes born!
Do I just pick any old name and just get used to it? Uugghhhh!!!!

Some people take a couple of weeks to name baby, and some name them and change it later too - there is no person who can say you 'have' to have named baby straight away or have a name ready! Don't feel pressured hun - wait til she comes and see what name suits her - the more you panic about it the more you'll feel the pressure and the less happy you'll feel with ALL of the names xxx

Yeh see OH keeps telling me to not stress out but I just worry about what I will call her when I meet her.. seems a bit odd saying hello baby lol
Also might be embarrassed answering questions as to why I havent got a name yet when people visit.. dont want them all saying "Oh, she looks like a..." that will annoy me I think.. xx

I wouldn't let it worry you hun. People will always find a way to annoy you anyway because everyone is different and have different opinions. When I named our son, we had already chosen the name and just only told very close family - hadn't told others... and most people said nothing about his name, a few said how cute it was and did the usual 'will you shorten it to Sam or will it be a Samuel' but a couple of people said 'how weird' because my own name is Samantha... I ignored them or just said 'yes - so now we are two Sams in the house' because he is Samuel and always will be, and that is what we chose. No one has said anything negative since!
If people ask why you haven't named her yet then you can always say 'because we haven't found the perfect name/we would like more time to see what suits her best/we are still choosing between a couple of names' etc - and if they have problem with that then they should be keeping it to themselves
Our name for our girly is quite secret - we haven't really told anyone again, but one person we did tell said 'really? its really old fashioned, she'll be picked on' - but again - ignoring them because it's the name WE like - she can go call her own children whatever she wants, but we shall do the same and name ours what WE want because at the end of the day - that's what matters and no one else can tell you what or when you must name your own child xxx

I wouldnt let it bother you you might decide before you even tell people shes here..
In my experience you might choose the most common name and people will still find something to criticise..
My sister in law had her baby and named her Casey but has spelt it kaci and my mum came to my house saying ohhhh I thought it said kacky I couldnt understand why she would call her kaci.. But she spelt it like that to stick to a k name with 4 letters.. Her son is Kyle and my ohs brother is Karl.. At the end of the day no matter what your reasons for doing so it is your baby and you can call her whatever you want and people should just keep their noses out.. Xx

Don't panic!! We only finally decided a couple of weeks ago and that's with me changing my mind several times. Like others have said, you've got 6 weeks. You need to choose a name that you're happy with - you'll be shouting it for years to come!! My OH and I set ourselves such strict criteria, its ridiculous, I'm amazed we can find any names at all.
It'll come to you - either before she's here or after, it doesn't matter and it isn't really anyone else's business!! My OH and I had a couple of brainstorming sessions where we sat down and went through lots of potentials and this helped eventually!
Good Luck xx

Well I stayed up unti 3am last night doing alot of research and brainstorming and I have managed to get it down to two names that I can honestly say I really like.. Im swaying more towards one of them but just curious to see what you ladies think of the two choices.. xx

Personally I like names that have meaning within them. So maybe you could try and think of something special that you and your husband have in common, or something that you have done, and then just think of a name-word that is related to that. I don't know. Each name has a meaning so find a name that's meaning means something important to you. That's what I would do if I were you. Best of luck!

I have some ultrarunner buddies who seem to drink too much. Okay, what is too much? I cannot really tell you, but in my view they seem to have a thing for beer, beer, beer, more wine, whiskey, etc.Is this common, is this normal? Just curious.
Related question, is it okay to have 3 or 4 beers after a run, no matter how long it is? What do you think?
I doubt that ultrarunners are any more likely to overindulge than any other segment of the population. I personally don't drink while I'm training for a goal race, but I like to reward myself with a beer or three after finishing.
Actually I know a few former alcoholics or whatever they'd call themselves that traded one over-indulgence for another (ultrarunning).
Aside from that, though, I think its an "all in moderation" thing. I'll periodically have a couple glasses of wine, or a mixed drink with dinner - and run great the next day. On the flip side, one time; when I knew I was going to lose my job and was sole supporter for a family of four - I overindulged and got mildly drunk. The next day, I did not feel like running. 2 days later I ran as normal. But... I didn't make that sort of behavior a habit.
Mr. Snail, I love a nice cold beer after an ultra. My weight I can only handle 2 at most or I will be way loopy. Some people can drink a lot and run well. I'm not one.
I wouldn't worry about anyone but yourself. You can't control what other people do in their lives.
From a medical standpoint if you're a guy and drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages a day (2 for women) the health risks out weigh any neutral or beneficial effects. Those limits are what I would define as "moderation."
Problem drinkers can come from every facet of society and the ultra running community is probably not an exception. I've noticed that problem drinkers tend to find each other and hang around in groups so that their habits appear to be "normal" behavior within the group.
[http://This message has been edited by kateMD (edited Jul-06-2007).|http://This message has been edited by kateMD (edited Jul-06-2007).]
Sorry if someone felt touched. I understand that alcohol is present in every segment of the society. But I would have expect lower intake of alcohol in this group. For example, I suppose (I might be wrong and that's why I only suppose) that there more smokers in the rest of the society than in the running world... For some reason, it appeared to me that some ultrarunners I know drink more than the rest of the runners I know or I've known in the past. So I was curious, that was all, because it is something against my expectations.
snail, I have never seen any runner slam down 3,4,5 beers after an ultra. I think most would be vomiting if they did that.
KateMD says that problem drinkers tend to hang out with each other to look and feel normal. You said your ultra buddies seem to drink to much. If what she says is true does that leave you with a guilty conscious? ie. are you worried about your own drinking habits?
I get your question.
It would be hard for me to generalize about the entire ultrarunning scene as I've only seen a small bit. (Less than a dozen ultras under my belt.)
In my experience, I do okay having a beer or two the night before a race. Actually, its part of my routine. Same goes for a marathon race too. Its mostly in a social setting and after all the gear is in place. The nightcap helps me sleep as I am normally very amped up for a big ultra event. Looking back, I probably have more drinks the night before a run than afterwards.
FWIW, If the only choice were coors or miler light then I probably would not drink.
Mr runnertim... it seems to me that you are not happy with my post. Again, sorry if I am touching a sensitive spot.
I am actually a teetotaler. I don't drink alcohol. Maybe that's why I have the perception that the ultrarunners I know (it's a small group) drink a bit too much.
A couple of StPauli girl beers is ok after a run!
no really, I drank more, well not a lot, but I used to enjoy drinking but I found that when I started doing more miles per week and eating well I didnt enjoy drinking that much anymore, it is like I feel more in tune with my body and it just likes good stuff now. I still like a beer or some good wine now and again but one is about my limit. It really wasnt a decision I made it is just that I think my body changed when I started running a lot more. Even caffeine affects me way more (sweet during a long race!) But after a long hot humid run a beer is awesome. But just one, after that its not enjoyable as much.
snail, not happy with your post???? huh? I just replied to what KateMD said. Don't twist that around my friend.
Snail, if you think you have a drinking problem then you should get help from a professional not on a message board.
Mr. Snail, me thinks you are in denial...............Please get help for your overindulgence in alcoholic beverages. First step is admitting you have a problem. ie. getting through your denial.
before ultras i was such a clean cut, straight arrow. now i drink beer, use expletives, and worst of all - eat JUNK FOOD! can't hardly stand myself !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/tongue.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/tongue.gif|border=0!
i'm w/you snail, can't tell you how sick i am of crossing those finish lines and having to wade through all the empty bottles of jack daniels and johnny walker - just to reach that poland spring water.

My exposure to computers began at about the age of seven. This was probably mostly thanks to my grandfather being a member of the New Zealand Computing Society and my father always being keen on the latest technology. In the mid eighties, I got my first computer, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum; I recall transcribing code from a book and then recording it to tape so that I could play the games I had produced. I used to love it, and even in those early days it was clear that I had a predisposition to problem solving and an analytical mind. Later on, I had quite an exposure to Amigas too, although that was sadly a fairly short-lived experience. Around '95–'96, when my Amiga 500 finally packed it in, I ended up with my first PC, running Windows 95. Oh joy!
About five years later I decided to study programming. Prior to enrolling, Tony (FSM's Editor In Chief) convinced me to start using GNU/Linux and to learn Unix commands and C, as he said that this knowledge would give me a head-start in the course. Despite his grumbling, he helped me set up a dual boot so I could run both Windows and GNU/Linux on the same machine. After a couple of months, I was picking up the basics of C from a book fairly quickly, and getting used to using the Unix command line.
Our expectations of the course were wrong and all of this good work was to be undone. Shortly after starting the course I started to slide down the slippery slope of proprietary software programming.
The course was a Diploma of Information Technology (programming) and was 2 years full time. It was supposed to be a generic, system-independent "IT and programming course". However, its main thrust was in the direction of Visual Basic, Java and Windows NT. The better lecturers taught the VB and Windows NT subjects, which of course made them easier to learn. The one Unix unit (that's right, there was only one!) was taught by a guy who could out drone a blowfly playing didgeridoo. He spent his time at the front of the class, with one arm of his glasses poised in his mouth as he stared at the ceiling, trying to remember that anecdote we all knew so well and hated so much. There were no units on free software. The lecturers wouldn't even share notes!
I did quite well in the end and gained my Diploma of (proprietary) Information Technology. However, my exposure (apart from to Tony, who wasn't teaching me anyway) had been to a closed community of lecturers who, themselves, would not share or collaborate. I had not been told about the free software community or that I could work on free software projects that would give me exposure, experience and credibility. The existence of free software seems obvious to me now, and would do to most of our readers. But for an IT newcomer, it's amazing what isn't obvious.
At the end of the course, I felt a little empty. I felt like I didn't belong to the software development world. While I enjoyed programming, I didn't feel very comfortable with the secretive, un-sharing, proprietary world around it.
Eventually, my career took me to a completely different place, where my programming skills were welcome but not crucial.
It took about another five years and my continued friendship with Tony, before I became involved with the free software world. And now, through my experience, I fully realise the importance of exposing young programmers to our community. Some major faults in the course became clear: as students, we should have been encouraged to join free software projects. While plagiarism was a concern through some aspects of our training, we should have been encouraged to share code and taught how to re-use and adapt it for use in our own computer systems projects. This is after all how it's done in the real world—you're not supposed to reinvent the wheel all the time!
Today, I am not a programmer; I see myself as a "missed opportunity" for the free software programming world, and I'm probably not the only one. I feel that we (the free software community) should be doing our best to stop this story from being repeated. I believe we need to ensure that potential future programmers are aware that free software is out there, and what it means. They need our support, their understanding of free software needs to be nurtured and they need to be made welcome into our free software community.
If you work in IT education and you believe in free software, make sure you encourage young programmers to become involved in free software** **and explain the benefits of doing so. If you live near an educational institution, let them and their students know about projects you are involved in and encourage them to volunteer.
Let them know how fantastic the free software world can be for them and how great they can be for it.
You're not the only one!

I'm currently in the middle of a course in Computer Animation in the UK. The course there has a very technical slant, and of course Linux and C programming come up time and again.
I'm sorry to say it, but your story of being put off by a bad teacher is all too familiar to me. Our programming lecturer for the first year was excellent - not only did he teach pretty well but he's also a really nice guy. I took to programming, and genuinely expected it to become my job and livelihood once I'd finished the course. Sadly, our second year programming lecturer was the complete opposite. A complete geek and free software fanatic, he quickly came to epitomise everything we hated about programming. When we found something difficult and asked him a question, he'd always begin his reply with "But it's sooo eeeasy!!". His teaching was at best questionable, and many of my class mates were really struggling. He started to refuse to give out answers to his assignments until every single member of the class had completed them. Tensions grew, and it all came to a head a few months ago when one member of the class was having real problems grasping a concept. The lecturer grew more and more frustrated with each question the students asked him, until he eventually exploded "Just look it up in a book!!"
No one took him seriously after that, and attendance at his lectures plummeted. My class started to depend on me more and more for programming knowledge, and I ended up holding my own informal lectures for my class to cover for our lecturer's inadequacies. Whilst I'm pleased to say that many of the people I helped did really well at the end of the year(and some are even looking at persuing programming further), I'm not so lucky. The damage has been done, and I no longer enjoy programming like I used to. I look at the free software community and I see an ideology and a community that I could really have enjoyed just a year ago. Sadly it's too late for that now, and I just have to hope that teachers like this are few and far between.
Sadly, our second year
Sadly, our second year programming lecturer was the complete opposite. A complete geek and free software fanatic, he quickly came to epitomise everything we hated about programming.
So this guy was a Free Software geek and a bad lecturer. That's really strange. Because the Free Software Philosophy is all about sharing knowledge and that's what a teacher should do. So this guy did not understand either of them.
But what Dave wantet to say in his Editorial was, I think, that in many schools there's beeing notthing told about Free Software and sharing knowledge. That's why many great minds get lost and don't like to program anymore, not only because they had a bad techer. But because they don't like the proprietary software developping world and don't know the Free Software world.

Strong Job Creation, Weak Stock Market
The stock market's weak reaction to Friday's strong jobs report shows how uncomfortable investors have become about taking risks.
The report showed that April job-creation was the highest in more than a year, while unemployment fell sharply to 6.3% from 6.7%.
Stocks greeted that news with across-the-board declines Friday, including a 46-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to 16512.89. On Wednesday, the Dow had closed at a record high for the first time this year. Since then, it has pulled back and is now once again down slightly (0.4%) for 2014.
The problem is the one that has plagued stocks since the Dow's 26% gain last year: a concern that they have risen too far, too fast, and that the economic and corporate-earnings outlooks aren't strong enough to push them much higher now. For all its strong job-creation news, the jobs report also showed soft wage growth and a lot of people abandoning job searches.
A significant stock upturn will take more than good job creation, said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman Private Banking, which oversees $28 billion in New York.
"It will take some catalyst, a genuine acceleration in economic activity or a sign that corporate America can expand profit margins from already record-high levels. I am hard-pressed to see a whole lot of catalysts," Mr. Clemons said.
Some investors think this year's weak start is an over-reaction, and that stocks will resume their gains in the coming months. They note that other worries, such as Russian military activity along its borders with Eastern Europe, could be holding markets back. If those worries fade, stocks could benefit. Right now, however, financial markets are showing more concern than excitement.
Mr. Clemons said his firm has gradually reduced exposure to U.S. stocks, boosting cash levels to as much as 20% from the normal 3% to 5%. He says stocks still look expensive, with the S&P 500 stock index at 17 times its companies' earnings for the past year, above the average of 15.
He doesn't forecast a bear market, meaning a decline of 20% or more. But he says a 10% to 15% decline is coming and he is keeping the cash ready to invest after that. "The likelihood of a correction is high," he said.
Of course, the market rarely falls heavily when people expect it; big declines tend to come when investors are excessively optimistic, not nervous and building cash.
One sign of the current worry is the strength of U.S. Treasury-bond prices. In times of economic optimism, investors normally buy risky assets like stocks, not safe Treasury bonds.
The demand for Treasury bonds is all the more remarkable because the Federal Reserve is ending the Treasury-bond-buying program it has used to keep interest rates low. That normally would reduce Treasury demand and push yields higher. Instead, Treasury prices have risen and yields declined.
The yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond fell to 2.59% on Friday, its lowest level since Feb. 3. Some of the demand for Treasury bonds is a flight to safety spurred by the Russia fears. But Treasury yields have been falling and prices rising since late March. Russia is one part of the reason and economic uncertainty is another.
David Kotok, chairman of Cumberland Advisors, which manages more than $2 billion in Sarasota, Fla., is betting that the worries about Russia and about U.S. growth will diminish in coming weeks. With monetary policy still exceptionally easy, Mr. Kotok figures that stocks have lots of room to keep rising.
"In general, we are nearly fully invested in stocks," he said, meaning he hasn't reduced his holding as Mr. Clemons has.
He isn't optimistic about Treasury bonds. As the current fears wane, he says, money will come out of safe havens, pushing bond prices down and yields up.
That shift to higher yields, says Don Rissmiller, chief economist at Strategas Research Partners in New York, could pose its own problem for U.S. markets.
With job-creation strengthening and unemployment falling, Mr. Rissmiller says, the next thing for investors to worry about will be inflation. Inflation right now is running well below the Fed's 2% target, but markets trade on expectations for the future, not present conditions.
Investors are beginning to look ahead to what happens in the latter part of the business cycle, when the Fed starts pushing interest rates higher to prevent inflation, he said. Stocks can continue to rise in the first part of that process, but history suggests that the gains can be harder to achieve.
"We have hit an inflection point," Mr. Rissmiller said. "I do think this is a potential speed bump for markets. It is hard to see how the Fed gets more helpful to the markets" than it is now. The next thing for investors to worry about is the Fed becoming less supportive, he said.
Mr. Rissmiller also isn't predicting a bear market. He says that investors could well get past any concerns about inflation and the Fed, as they got past jitters last spring about the Fed's plans to end its bond-buying program. But he views this as one more worry for investors to struggle with, in a year when markets seem to face no shortage of them.

'Game of Thrones' Star Sibel Kekilli on Season 4, Joffrey, and Male Nudity
German actress Sibel Kekilli, who plays the strong-minded Shae on HBO's "Game of Thrones," is no stranger to the spotlight. Her work in critically acclaimed films "Head-On" and "When We Leave" brought her fame back at home, but the world-wide popularity of "Game of Thrones" is a different beast.
"It's a dream for everyone to be a part of an American series—a huge, successful series," said Kekilli. "It's just a gift for me. Maybe I will never have it ever again. I'm just enjoying it."
The actress sat down with Speakeasy to discuss her character's relationship with Tyrion in season four, the mind of Jack Gleeson (who plays Joffrey), and the need for more male nudity on the show.
Edited excerpts:
Your scene with Tyrion [played by Peter Dinklage] in the first episode of season four is very intense.
It was so hard to act that. I thought, 'Please, I don't want to act this.' I was begging [showrunners] Dan [Weiss] and David [Benioff], and they said, "No, Sibel, we are paying for this so you have to."
Does this scene hint at more trouble to come this season?
Without any spoilers, let me say it like this: Shae had [a] really tough life. And she had never had a foundation in her life until she met and fell in love with Tyrion, and Tyrion fell in love with her. She started to think she has a foundation in her life. And now, after they married—Sansa and Tyrion—it's like, you know, shaking. It's like an earthquake. It could stop, or it could be getting stronger.
Have you read all the books?
No. [laughs] Because Dan and David told me, "Sibel, at the beginning, we will change your part a bit. If you read the books, just to know for you, she will be a bit bigger. Of course not the main part, but she will get bigger." So I decided to read it later. I didn't want to get confused between the book Shae and the series.
The show is well known for a lot of female nudity. What about male nudity?
I know, I told them. I said I have to talk to Dan and David and to George [R.R. Martin]. They should say, "All men must get naked and not die" [referring to "All men must die," or "Valar morghulis" in High Valyrian]. Because I want to see more nudity. Because why always the women? The women are really beautiful and of course it's a part of the show.
That's maybe one of the rules [of] why it's successful, of course. It's not, "Oh my God, they are naked." It's a natural thing. There are whores, there are prostitutes. But I want to see more naked men. I try. I tell Dan and David and George all the time.
You're a very accomplished actress, and then you joined the show, which is very popular. How are you coping with the different kind of attention?
With my other movies, I never had that kind of experience. It's funny because so many actors here—George said that there are so many actors that just came from drama school, acting school. Because of my career before, I see this year as a gift, as a bonus.
Perhaps because of their varied backgrounds, the cast does seem very down to earth.
All of them. I mean Sophie [Turner, who plays Sansa] and Isaac [Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran]. They are so down to earth and they are really well educated.
And even Jack [Gleeson]—Joffrey—he doesn't want to act. That shows that he's really down to earth, and he knows this is show business. And this is the life. And he's really young.
I watched a speech he gave about celebrity culture.
I heard that. I have to Google it. I know that he's really intelligent. And you know, he said it's not fulfilling him—acting. So I really understand him. I think every one of us knows that, okay, maybe it will never happen again. Maybe you will stick in this role forever and not get a chance to have another success at that kind of level.

Barbara Elise Miller, former owner of Three Rivers Infusion and Pharmacy Specialists in Coshocton, was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Akron to 54 months in prison and three years of probation for multiple health care fraud charges stemming from her scheme to fraudulently bill private insurance companies and Medicaid.
"Ms. Miller defrauded consumers, insurance companies and the state of Ohio out of $2.1 million," said Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, who is also director of the Ohio Department of Insurance. "These are serious crimes that harmed real people and real businesses. Fortunately, the investigative team of local, state and federal officials worked together to bring this intricate case to a close."
In July, Miller was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Akron to serve 27 months for obstructing the federal health care fraud investigation.
The original charges against Miller were filed in early 2010 as the result of a joint investigation involving the Ohio Department of Insurance, Ohio Attorney General's Office, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's Office-Northern District.

PARKERSBURG - The new Latrobe Street Mission, operated by the Not For Sale Ministries, will open in December.
The mission at 1825 Latrobe St. is 15,000 square feet in the former Storck Bakery. The two-story mission will provide emergency shelter for men, women and children, kitchen, dining room facilities, showers and restrooms, longer term transitional housing of 12-18 months and a thrift shop.
Residents will be able to take advantage of nearby Courage to Change Ministries, which includes a variety of counseling and support groups.

Mike Trejo was among the crew working on the Latrobe Street Mission this week. The mission is scheduled to open in December.
"The initial phase of the project is conversion of the first floor, which will provide sleeping quarters for women and children and a separate area for men," said Shad Martin, chairman of the board for the nonprofit Not For Sale Ministry. "There will be a dining area, and a full-size industrial-style kitchen. Ultimately, one of our goals is to have the kitchen open during the summer to provide free meals for children in the community who are in the free lunch program during the school year. Those living here would serve the meals and also work in the thrift shop, which will be housed here also."
Martin said the mission will serve those in need, in between jobs, needing a helping hand to get a fresh start in life.
"We hope to hold as many as 90, but ultimately capacity will be determined by the fire marshal," Martin said. The idea is to have the mission become self-sufficient, funded with the aid of the in-house thrift store.

For more information on the Not For Sale Ministries go to its website at www.nfsministries.org.
For information on how to help with the Latrobe Street Mission project, contact associate director Brenda Ridgeway at 304-893-9460 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many volunteers have contributed their time and materials to make the project a reality. Many area churches, of all denominations, have provided help. The nonprofit group has received grant funding through the McDonough Foundation, Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund and Parkersburg Area Community Foundation, and a number of local businesses have contributed as well. To date more than $125,000 in volunteer time, services and monetary contributions have been raised, said Brenda Ridgeway, associate director for the shelter.
Martin said the upstairs portion of the shelter, which will be phase II of the project, will house efficiency-style transitional apartments.
"This will be 12-18 months; the tenants here will be working, going back to school, trying to get their lives back together and get back on their feet," Martin said. "Case managers will be working with them."
Martin said it is hoped the mission can become self-funded within two years through revenues raised by the Twice as Good Thrift Shop. In addition to offering clothing, small appliances and some furnishings in the store, Martin said the mission has made arrangements to have any unsaleable clothing donated recycled with the proceeds benefiting the mission.
"We are researching other shelters and their programs to see how they operate and taking their successes as examples to use here," he said. "Fundraising is an ongoing need. We are looking for more partners, businesses, churches, groups, individuals who want to get involved," Martin said. "It takes about $12 a day to provide housing, care and case management services for each person."
Martin said he decided he needed to lead by example and has donated his 2006 Softail Deluxe Harley Davidson motorcycle to the cause. The bike will be offered for auction on eBay through S&P Harley Davidson in Williamstown beginning Saturday to Nov. 27. The motorcycle will be on display at the shop.

GYPSUM - It's time for Eagle Valley boys basketball to bring out the slingshot because Goliath is next for the Devils.
Eagle Valley, ranked eighth in its region, took care of Erie, 45-36, Wednesday night in the first round of the state playoffs in Gypsum. Next up is a trip to D'Evelyn, one of the top-two seeds in the tournament, Friday at 7:30 p.m.
"They're a fantastic ball club, no doubt about it," Devils coach Jim Bair said. "We're the long shot. We're the underdog. We have nothing to lose. The whole world thinks we're going to lose. That's fine. We have no pressure."
In the meantime, the Devils expunged the memories of playoff loss last year to Wasson - Eagle Valley had a bye through the first round and lost in the second - and very much enjoyed hosting their first playoff game since moving up to Class 4A in 2004.
"It's big. We didn't want to lose another playoff game," Devils senior Sam Lounsberry said. "Now we get to go back to the second round and see what we can do."
Very little has come easily to the Devils (16-7), and Wednesday was no exception. The Tigers, a team that went from two wins in 2011-12 to 10 this season, gave Eagle Valley all it could handle.
The Devils were up just 28-26 heading into the fourth quarter. Ayren Hart, who led Eagle Valley with 16 points, started the final stanza with his second three-point play of the game. Erie's Dylan Brink answered with a 3-pointer as he ended up topping the Tigers with 15.
Lounsberry put back his own miss with 4:06 left in the game for 33-29 lead. Blake Baker, one of only two seniors on Erie's roster, pulled the Tigers to within 33-31, and then Eagle Valley went to the line over and over.
It wasn't particularly pretty as the Devils finished 11-of-21 from the charity stripe, but Lounsberry was clutch in that stretch, going 6-for-6. Also very big was Devils senior Jordon Hudspeth. He had a steal and a layup with 47 ticks to go to make it 41-33. He also added another icing bucket in the final seconds.
"They did what they needed to do in the final minute-and-a-half of the third quarter and in the fourth quarter," Bair said. "That's how we can play."
Erie put a serious scare in the Devils with a 9-0 run in the third quarter. The Tigers' Dylan Brink scored all seven of those points via a 3, a field goal and two freebies. Kyle Leahy had the other field goal. Tied at 26, Hart finally restored order with a hard-charging layup, followed by a running jumper from Lounsberry.
The Devils got off to a slow start with the visitors taking a 7-2 lead on a Baker 3 with 5:53 to go in the first quarter. Eagle Valley seemed to find its groove going to a full-court press.
That pressure gave produced consecutive baskets from Travis Edgar, Lounsberry and Baca for an 8-7 lead. And the defense certainly did its job in the second quarter. The Devils held the visiting Tigers to just six points in that frame, often limiting Erie on the boards.
On the offensive end, Hart got going with consecutive baskets, followed by one from Noah Ejnes. With 3:03 left in the half, Hart popped a three-point play for a 19-13 lead. Not to be outdone, Lounsberry finished the half with four-straight points for a 22-13 lead at the break.
Erie finishes the season at 10-14, but it would not be surprising to see the young Tigers back in the postseason next year.

LOS ANGELES -- Goalie Alex Stalock's first start in the NHL playoffs Monday night had him facing the opposing player who accidentally stepped on the back of his left leg, severing the nerve and sidelining Stalock for a year while he recovered.
"I knew I stepped on him. I didn't know how severe it was," said Los Angeles Kings forward Dwight King on Monday. "Later on I heard how serious it was. It's great the doctors did a good job on him and he rehabbed himself back to where he is now."
King was with the Manchester Monarchs and Stalock was in goal for the Worcester Sharks on Feb. 3 2011, With less than four minutes left in the game, a scrum developed in front of the Worcester net.
"It was a quick play," King said. "I do remember falling on him. I was off to the side and I think he dove for a puck. I got pushed and stepped on the back of his leg. It's great to see that he's made the full recovery."
There was blood on the ice, but the more serious damage was discovered back in the training room. A tendon also was damaged when the blade of King's skate cut Stalock behind the left knee.
Complex surgery to regenerate the nerve was performed at the Mayo Clinic near Stalock's home in St. Paul, Minn. He then went through a lengthy recovery process, working closely with Sharks goalie development coach Corey Schwab over the next 11 months.
Stalock played his next game with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL on Jan. 21, 2012, returned to Worcester for the 2012-13 season, and earned the spot as backup to starter Antti Niemi last fall.
He had a 12-5-2 record in 24 regular season games with a .932 save percentage and a 1.87 goals against average. Stalock stopped 26 shots and allowed no goals in two relief appearances for Niemi in this series before getting the start in Game 6.
Stalock and King have faced each other many times since the accident, but King said it's not something he and the goalie have talked about.
Andrew Desjardins and Kings forward Kyle Clifford fought at 6:11 of the first period and a little after that, Joe Thornton angered the Kings when he kneed their captain, Dustin Brown.
In the third period, Logan Couture got things started at 14:47 with a one-on-one fight with Kings forward Mike Richards, who speared the San Jose forward earlier in the series.
"Frustration builds," Couture said. "They're a team that talks a lot. He's one of the main guys. I decided to fight him. I thought I did pretty well for my second fight ever."
Twelve seconds later, Raffi Torres and Kings forward Justin Williams earned an early exit with roughing and 10-minute misconducts. And at 18:14, Brent Burns, Desjardins and Kings forward King all were tossed after an initial encounter between Thornton and Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick.
"Drew (Doughty) was just trying to box me out, and I was trying to go to the net and just overpowered him, that's all," Thornton said.
"Like I said, it would be different if they weren't a good hockey team, but they're a great hockey team over there," he said. "They've played better than we have the last three games. We played better than they did the first three games. In my mind, if it gets to Game 7, it doesn't matter how it gets there, it gets there. You're going for one game."

FoodFacts.com has always kept a close eye on the potential effects of vitamins and supplements on our health. Recently, we introduced our own line of vitamins and supplements that address the need for better-formulated products that are free from the controversial ingredients we are always addressing. You can find them at the FoodFacts TRI Nutritionals website.
Today we read some great information we wanted to share with our community about Vitamin E and its anti-cancer properties. It's long been presumed that this vitamin could prevent cancer, in fact many animal studies have suggested the idea. However, human clinical trials that were conducted to follow up on those findings did not illustrate the same benefits.
A new study out of Ohio State University and Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center have now shown that Vitamin E can, in fact, have some benefit in cancer prevention and treatment. Researchers showed that in prostate cancer cells, one form of Vitamin E inhibits the activation of an enzyme (the Akt enzyme) that must be present in order for cancer cells to survive.
The study points out that a readily available Vitamin E supplement won't do the trick. Affordable Vitamin E supplements are based on a vitamin form that didn't fight cancer as effectively in the study. In addition, the human body can't absorb the high dose of a typical supplement that would be required to achieve the anti-cancer effect demonstrated.
The most commonly known form of Vitamin E is a variety called tocopherols. Researchers were able to show that a specific form of tocopherol is the most potent anti-cancer form of the vitamin. The scientists manipulated the structure of the Vitamin E molecule and found that the new substance created was able to reduce the size of prostate tumors in mice. Effectively it was able to shut off the Akt enzyme. Mice with prostate cancer who were injected with the agent created by the scientists experienced suppressed tumor growth when compared to those mice injected with a placebo which had no effect on tumor growth. Chemical analysis of the treated tumors showed that the Akt enzyme signal was suppressed. The animal study also suggested the experimental agent was not toxic.
These findings suggest that an agent based on the chemical structure of one form of vitamin E could help prevent and treat numerous types of cancer. It was noted that this is a new finding. While other benefits of Vitamin E have been known for years, no one knew about the specific anti-cancer benefits of this specific form of the vitamin. The researchers are continuing to work on the Vitamin E formulation that they have developed.
FoodFacts.com hopes to report further information in the future regarding the work of these researchers. We look forward to the day that Vitamin E may become a treatment for cancer that will present patients with non-toxic, more natural options in fighting their disease.

TULSA, Okla. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team picked up its first Southland Conference win of the season with a thrilling 58-53 victory against Oral Roberts on Saturday.
After it took 11 games last season for the Islanders to secure their first win in conference play, it only took two this season for A&M – Corpus Christi to pick up a Southland victory.
With a dominating performance down the stretch, Jasmine Shaw finished with 19 points to go along with five rebounds and four assists. She was the only Islander in double digits, as Alissa Campanero and Brandi Huff both finished with nine.
Camesha Davis had a strong game coming off the bench, finishing with just six points, but cleaned up on the glass for a career-high eight rebounds.
The Islanders turned up the heat defensively in the second half, forcing 11 turnovers and holding ORU to just 7-of-21 from the field after it shot 40 percent in the first half. A&M – Corpus Christi's defense also kept Dorottya Balla — who scored 30 in ORU's conference opener — from scoring in the second half after she notched 11 points in the first 20 minutes of play.
It was a slow start to the game for the Islanders, as they turned the ball over and saw the Golden Eagles jump out to a 4-0 lead less than two minutes into the game.
Davis got the team energized, taking a charge in the paint to cause an ORU turnover. Shaw then came down and hit a runner to cut the deficit in half.
However, a three and two layups for ORU gave the home squad a 7-0 run to jump out to an early 11-2 lead with 15:40 left to play.
The Islanders responded, as Campanero came out of the media timeout and drilled a three to cut the lead to five. The teams then traded buckets to make it a 13-7 game with 12:46 to go in the half.
Kassie Jones knocked down a pair of free throws before dishing a pass to Davis for a layup with just less than 12 minutes into the game to pull the Islanders within two for the first time since the first minute of the game.
The Golden Eagles jumped out to 19-14 lead with two buckets following a Shaw three pointer. Brittany Mbamalu had the response, drilling her first three of the game to cut the lead back to two with nine minutes remaining in the first.
ORU came right back to go on a 9-2 run, though, to open up a 28-19 lead with 5:37 left to play in the half.
However, the Islanders had an answer for their opponent's run, as Huff finished strong in the paint and Mbamalu followed with a trey to cut the lead down to four.
After the Golden Eagles hit one of two from the line, Lexy Harris hit three free throws of her own to finish off an 8-1 run to close out the half and make it a 29-27 game heading into the half.
It did not take long for the Islanders to keep the momentum rolling, as Shaw hit a jumper to start the half and tie the game for the first time.
Then, A&M – Corpus Christi came right back with Shaw missing a three, getting her own rebound, dumping it off to Huff completed a three-point play to put the Islanders up for the first time, 32-29.
However, ORU came right back to hit a pair of free throws and a jumper to get back on top by one with 17:18 left in the matchup. The Golden Eagles then extended their lead to 40-36 with less than 13 minutes to play.
It was then that the Islanders started rolling. Huff stole the ball on the defensive end and kicked it out to Shaw, who drove the lane and tossed it back out to Campanero for a three to pull the visitors within one.
The next time down the court it was Huff who scooped up an offensive board and threw it out to Campanero, as she converted once again from downtown to jump back on top. With 10:03 left to play the Islanders found themselves up 42-40.
A&M – Corpus Christi went on to score the next six points to cap off a 12-0 run to get out to its largest lead of the night, 48-40.
ORU cut the deficit in half, though, with a jumper followed by a pair of free throws to pull the Golden Eagles within four with less than five minutes on the clock.
Shaw came right back with an answer, converting on a runner. However, ORU came right back to can a three to make it a one-possession game.
Senior leader Taryn Gregory came up big on the next possession, somehow converting on a jumper in the paint with the shot clock expiring to put the Islanders up 52-47 with 3:32 left on the clock.
The Golden Eagles still had plenty of fight left in them, trotting right back down the court and hitting another contested three to pull within two. Shaw had that look in her eyes, though, getting the ball and driving right into the paint to hit another runner and push the lead up to four with 1:53 left.
Incredibly, ORU responded with its third three in a row to pull within one, but Shaw would not let her team be denied the win, coming up with yet another answer to put the Islanders back up 56-53 with just over a minute to go.
A&M – Corpus Christi forced a turnover on ORU's offensive possession, but turned the ball over on its subsequent possession as well, giving the Golden Eagles a chance to tie it with 17 seconds left to play.
However, the Islanders forced a contested shot that would not fall, and Shaw sank a pair of free throws to secure the strong win for A&M – Corpus Christi.
The Islanders will now head back to the Coastal Bend for their home Southland opener against Northwestern State on Thursday, Jan. 9, with tip scheduled for 5 p.m.

HCG Diet Reviews
Also known as the Simeons Protocol, HCG Diets are very popular. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and is the natural hormone women produce during pregnancy. This hormone nourishes and protects the baby in the womb by turning stored fat reserves into nutrition for the baby. In essence, these types of diets combine HCG injections, supplements, or drops with a 500 calorie daily diet, though there are three different phases.
● Phase One: You build up as much fat reserves as you can by eating as much as you want for two days while beginning the HCG drops.
● Phase Two: For the next 3-5 weeks you consume a 500 calorie daily diet that consists of vegetables, fruits, and two meals that contain 3.5 ounces of protein, while continuing with the HCG supplement.
● Phase Three: Maintenance—During this part of the diet you get to eat as much as you like as long as you completely eliminate starches and sugar.
Although these diets are somewhat controversial, there are rave reviews to be found on forums and blogs. Many claim there are some additional benefits found in the HCG diet that include: increased metabolism, decrease of flabby fat, feeling of fullness, thermogenic (fat burning), increased libido, and decreased craving for sweets.
Though many controversial or natural products are not FDA approved, HCG drops are. You'll want to read through the reviews of the many different HCG products available out there to choose the one that is just right for you.

And that time is winter.
Snow, rain, and dare we say, sleet — the mortal enemies of footwear — wreak havoc on stylish leather and suede uppers, seep through mesh detailing, and stain anything left untreated. So, how do you solve this sneaker conundrum? Easy. Design footwear built to withstand the elements, keep out the cold, and never sacrifice your sense of style.
Enter one of footwear's oldest and most famous styles: the boot.
Gone are the days when boots meant clomping around in oversized rubber contraptions (unless that's your thing). Classic styles have been updated with sleeker silhouettes, fashionable materials, and cutting-edge technologies, so staying warm and stylish is never an either-or situation.
At Eastbay, we carry a wide assortment of boot styles: tall, short, chukka, snow, rain, and everything in between. If you live in a cold climate with harsh winters, or do a lot of off-roading, tall snow boots with amped-up, insulating technology are your best bet. Brands like The North Face, Bogs, Columbia, Timberland, and Sorel are just a few of our favorites that offer a range of styles to keep you warm and dry all season long. Insulation like PrimaLoft® and Neo-Tech™ are excellent ways to lock in warmth and provide waterproof protection, while linings like fleece and faux fur add a cozy element to your boots.
If you're not an off-roader, simple and classic styles might be your go-to winter staple. Brands like Timberland, Nike ACG, and UGG have mastered this corner of the market with their iconic silhouettes. The Timberland 6" Boot is one of the best-known boots of its kind – resulting in numerous knockoffs, but never truly replicated. Nike ACG's Goadomes and Manoas are also front-runners in the work-inspired boot category, boasting rugged materials and plush cushioning. Even UGG's classic sheepskin boots, while certainly not suitable for mountainous treks, have become synonymous with style and unbeatable warmth.
Boots have earned their style credentials, and are a respectable and fashionable footwear choice, even when the weather is mild. Brands like Clarks, Lugz, and Stacy Adams have taken the typical boot style and reworked it into fresh, stylish dress boots that give your sneakers some competition in your closet. So, whether you need protection on a hike, recess-ready warmth, or a stylish way to navigate slick city streets, check out our huge assortment of boots to help you face the cold head on.

Taxiing plane clips parked jet in Fort Lauderdale
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 1:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 1:26 p.m.
FORT LAUDERDALE - Authorities say no one was injured when two airplanes got into a sort of fender-bender at a Florida airport.
The Broward Sheriff's Office says a taxiing Spirit Airlines Airbus A-320 clipped a US Airways Airbus A-320. The US Airways jet was parked Monday night in a remote area away from the gate at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Spirit spokeswoman Misty Pinson says a flight from Atlanta was taxiing to its gate when its left wing clipped the parked plane. Pinson says all 162 passengers on board got off at the gate as normal, and the plane returned to service.
Authorities say the US Airways aircraft was left with a gash in its tail section.
Firefighters were called to the scene, but there was no fuel leak from either aircraft.

SANTA CLARA -- Colin Kaepernick sounded as calm and confident as ever Thursday, a mere 10 days from appearing in Super Bowl XLVII.
He's seen the five Lombardi Trophies that are displayed in the lobby of the 49ers' facility, and he's well aware of the Super Bowl-winning standard set by Joe Montana and Steve Young.
"I've met both of them, talked with both of them briefly," Kaepernick said. "I mean, they did great things here."
Young, now an ESPN analyst, sat down for an interview Wednesday with Kaepernick, who said he was given a simple message by the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback: "Just keep going."
Kaepernick will make only his 10th career start when the 49ers play Feb. 3 against the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
"I wouldn't say I have an expectation for it," Kaepernick said of the Superdome's impending scene. "I'm just going to keep working and see what happens."
Kaepernick is 7-2 as a starter since replacing Alex Smith. Through playoff victories over the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons, he's posted a combined 105.9 passer rating, having 33 of 52 passes for 496 yards with three touchdown passes and one interception.
Kaepernick's 202 rushing yards in the playoffs (on 18 carries) are 7 yards shy of Frank Gore's total (on 44 carries).
"He's not just an integral part of their passing game. He's a huge part of their run game," Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters Thursday.
To prepare for that dual threat, Ravens safety Ed Reed said he's reviewed film of his games against another mobile quarterback: the Philadelphia Eagles' Michael Vick rather than the Washington Redskins' Robert Griffin III.
"I know he's fast, he can run -- but RGIII was a little quicker, I think, and probably a little faster," Reed told reporters of Kaepernick.
Kaepernick was the 49ers' only player who suited up but did not play in the 2011 Thanksgiving Night game, when the 49ers fell 16-6 at Baltimore.
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Kaepernick "fully understands" the magnitude of what will be the 49ers' first Super Bowl in 18 years.
"Colin's just a very, very intense competitor," Roman said. "We saw that even when he wasn't the 'starter.' He's got the ability to draw some really intense focus. We love that in a quarterback."
They also love Kaepernick's ability to rally from adversity. He did that last Sunday, when the 49ers overcame a 17-0 deficit in a 28-24, NFC-clinching win at Atlanta. He also rebounded from an interception return for a touchdown in the playoff-opening win over the Packers.
One such distraction during Super Bowl week will be reporters asking abundant tattoos, as has been the case for two months already. On Thursday, tattoos were the topic of nine of the 29 questions he fielded.
He confirmed that his agent has applied for a trademark on the term "Kaepernicking," which describes his touchdown celebration of kissing the "Faith" tattoo on his right biceps.
Will he be Kaepernicking against a Ravens defense that he identifies as physical and experienced?
"I don't know. I hope so."
So do his teammates, who grew fond of Kaepernick well before he became a Sports Illustrated cover boy last week.
Tight end Vernon Davis said he knew "this kid is ready" back when they sparked a 32-7 victory over the Chicago Bears in Kaepernick's first start Nov. 19. Davis gleaned of Kaepernick's passion to succeed when they dined at a steakhouse next to the 49ers' hotel during their September layover in Ohio, between games at Minnesota and New York.
"He said to me, 'I just want to play. I just want to play. I just want my opportunity,' " Davis recalled. "I could see the fire in his eyes. He just wanted to prove what he could do."

Hard on the heels of Bush's bellicose language against Iran in his "New Way Forward" speech comes news that American forces stormed an Iranian consulate in Iraq in a heavily armed raid – including five helicopters – with threats to kill the Iranian diplomats inside if they did not surrender.
As Glenn Greenwald notes: "Isn't it a definitive act of war for one country to storm the consulate of another, threaten to kill them if they do not surrender, and then detain six consulate officers?" Glenn – who with his usual dispatch has been all over Bush's rush to encompass Iran in the hellfire of his Middle East rampage – knows full well the answer to his rhetorical question: Yes, it is a definitive act of war.
The raid is just one more in a series of recent actions transparently designed to provoke the Iranians into some violent response that can be used as a "justification" for the Bush Regime's long-desired strike on Iran. Part of this push for a new war has to do with the old Bush-Cheney-PNAC plan of geopolitical empire, which requires the installation of a cowed and compliant government in Tehran; and part of it has to do with what appears to be the Bush Regime's self-delusion that the abominable failure of their assault on Iraq is due not to their own venality, stupidity, brutality and ignorance, but because some dastardly outsider is interfering with their operation, which otherwise would be welcomed with open arms by the grateful Iraqis.
The mindset of the Bush-Cheney faction in this regard is precisely that of a deranged rapist who insists that his victim is actually in love with him and would gladly marry him if only her friends would stop talking him down and telling her that he's no good.

There have been many criminal episodes in the history of the United States government; but I am hard-pressed to think of one that has been so egregiously stupid and self-destructive, and so riddled with pathological aberrations.
I think the Iranians – inheritors of three thousand years of statecraft – will not take the bait. Their Bush-like president – a strutting religious extremist who, left to his own devices, might indeed lash out in response to provocation – is neither the commander of the nation's armed forces nor the ultimate authority in government. But as we have seen in Iraq, in the end Bush is perfectly capable of launching an act of military aggression without any substantive pretext whatsoever. The wily forbearance of the Persians could very well go for naught in the face of this mad stampede toward a new and more horrible war.
Below are some extensive excerpts from Greenwald, but do read the entire piece, for there is much more detail there, along with all his links.
Glenn Greenwald:
Iraq continues to receive the overwhelming bulk of attention in the media and among political analysts. But the fate of Iraq, tragically, is all but sealed -- the President will send more troops and order them to be increasingly brutal and indiscriminate, and they will stay through at least the end of his presidency. That is just a fact. The far more attention-demanding issue now is what the President's intentions are with regard to Iran.
As Think Progress notes, the White House took multiple steps yesterday to elevate dramatically the threat rhetoric against Iran. Bush included what The New York Times described as "some of his sharpest words of warning to Iran" yet. But those words could really be described more accurately not as "threats" but as a declaration of war.
He accused the Iranian government of "providing material support for attacks on American troops" and vowed to "seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies." But those networks are located in Iran, which means that search and destroy missions on such networks would necessarily include some incursion into Iranian territory, whether by air or ground.
Hours before the speech, the White House released a PowerPoint presentation with details about the president's new policy. "Increase operations against Iranian actors" was listed in the "Key Tactical Shifts" section. As The New York Times reported: "One senior administration official said this evening that the omission of the usual wording about seeking a diplomatic solution [to the Iranian nuclear stand-off] 'was not accidental.'"
But these were merely the latest in a series of plainly significant events over the last several weeks that, taken alone, are each noteworthy themselves, but when viewed as a whole unmistakably signal a deliberate escalation of tensions with Iran by both the U.S. and Israel…
I think there is a tendency to dismiss the possibility of some type of war with Iran because it is so transparently destructive and detached from reality that it seems unfathomable. But if there is one lesson that everyone should have learned over the last six years, it is that there is no action too extreme or detached from reality to be placed off limits to this administration. The President is a True Believer and the moral imperative of his crusade trumps the constraints of reality…And he isn't constrained by the things that constrain rational people because his mission, in his mind, transcends all of those mundane limitations. Is there anyone who still doubts that?
More importantly, a war with Iran can happen in many ways other than by some grand announcement by the President that he wants to start a war, followed by a debate in Congress as to whether such a war should be authorized. That is the least likely way for such a confrontation to occur.
We have 140,000 troops (soon to be 20,000 more) sitting in a country that borders Iran and where Iran is operating, with an announced military build-up in the Persian Gulf imminent, increased war rhetoric from all sides, the beginning of actual skirmishes already, a reduction (if not elimination) on the existing constraints with which our military operates in Iraq, and a declaration by the President that Iran is our enemy in the current war.
That makes unplanned -- or seemingly unplanned -- confrontations highly likely, whether through miscalculation, miscommunication, misperception, or affirmative deceit. Whatever else is true, given the stakes involved -- the unimaginable, impossible-to-overstate stakes -- and the fact that we are unquestionably moving forward on this confrontational path quite deliberately, this issue is receiving nowhere near the attention in our political discussions and media reports that it so urgently demands.
For all the pious talk about the need to be "seriously concerned" and give "thoughtful consideration" to what will happen if we leave Iraq, there is a very compelling -- and neglected -- need to ponder what will happen if we stay and if we escalate. And the need for "serious concern" and "thoughtful consideration" extends to consequences not just in Iraq but beyond.

Nice observations
All of these are nice observations, but ultimately our problem is what do we do about it. The standard solution attempt is the demonstration
Often this is ignored by the media, hence never reaches the people. Civil disobedience, boycotts of corporations, occupations of government, university and corporate institutions, are also possible, but have rarely been attempted since the 1960s.
Maybe rather than simply identifying and endlessly describing the problems, writers can suggest and describe solutions to them.

Writers and social analysts such as Chris Floyd provide excellent tools and rhetorical leverage in the war against the Bush regime. This isn't the Sixties and the Internet has changed the playing field.
The opportunity for dissident writers who dissect, analyse and present information to really reach a broader audience is a reality that was simply not there 40 years ago.
There are more solutions than physical protest - a word which you keep repeating 'ad nauseam' in your non-stop comment spamming (for United for Peace and Justice) of Atlantic Free Press. It's getting fairly old and annoying - as most of the time you really have nothing of substance to add to the hard work of this website's writers.
a guest said:
Have just stumbled on to the excellent article by C.Floyd at the AFP.
The US foreign policy in the Middle East (from it's blind support of Israel, to the illegal invasion of Iraq) is both immoral and indefensible. I simply find it staggering that the media are incapable of ripping it to pieces every day of the week.
It is imperative for AFP to use its status on Google news to inform the world (particularly the American people) of what is really going on. And I look forward to future articles.
I have, however, one suggestion. A picture of George Bush wearing a turban may be funny, but it doesn't help people take your political arguments seriously.

I write
six letters to Congress every day of my life. I petition Pelosi, Hoyer, Murtha, and Iowa Democrats Loebsack, Braley, and Boswell. I've got a blog up where, among other things, I call for the impeachment of George W. Bush on a regular basis. I confront people, calling out those who want to take a soft line against the Bush administration. None of that makes me any friends or any money. My personal effort to end the war and get rid of George W. Bush takes at least two hours of my time every day and often more than that. It costs me $70 a month (minimum) just for postage, which amounts to about seven and a half percent of my monthly income. I'm not crying the blues here: I simply don't know what more I can do nor do I know how to do what I do more effectively than I'm doing it. Sometimes it's like yelling down a hole in the ground. Still, I persist.
a guest said:
"This isn't the Sixties and the Internet has changed the playing field."
The internet has succeeded in keeping us in front of our keyboards and monitors. Most people do not use the internet to visit sites like this. The internet can change the playing field only if it is used appropriately.
The only substitute for physical protest is democracy which does not exist in the US. Writing articles on the internet describing the problem ad nauseum will not solve the problem. As "I Write" has noted, writing blogs and letters has essentially no effect. Even legal challenges go essentially unmet and drag on uselessly. Has Blair been taken to the ICC. Before anyone gets around to impeaching Bush, the mid-east will be in flames and we will be on the brink of WW3.
There is no substitute for civil disobedience! Hit the streets!

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, March 19, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Ed Wilson of Georgia-Carolina Bail Bonds knows the importance of an education.
"I didn't have the opportunity to finish school," he said. "I went back to high school after I joined the Army."
After his service, he got a GED, which led to a two two-year degrees, a bachelor's in criminology and binders full of law enforcement training.
The bondsman, who served as Sardis' police chief in the 90s, had turned his life around with a GED.
"It really sparked me, and now, I just can't get enough training," Wilson said.
Now, that same philosophy is taking a stronghold just down the street at the Aiken County Detention Center.
"And I think it's really a self-confidence boost," said Capt. Nick Gallam, administrator of ACDC.
Capt. Gallam says eight of his inmates just passed the GED test, and it's a test that could change their lives.
"I had one guy that, you know, he actually did really well on the GED test, and he said, 'I knew I could do it.' He said, 'I just never would do it when I was on the streets,'" Gallam told News 12.
Right now, the jail sees some frequent flyers.
Gallam said he hopes this could make a dent in that, which would mean a safer community and smaller bill for taxpayers, he said.
"Well, I think it's a win-win for the community as a whole," Gallam said.
Wilson likes the idea, too.
"Hopefully, they'll get out here, get a job and help the community out and the citizens in the community," he said.
The detention center is partnered with the Aiken County Adult Education program to make this program possible. Inmates have to show initiative by attending regular classes before they get a chance to take the test. Gallam says he hopes to continue this program in the future.

BLM to Invest Recovery Act Funds on Renewable Energy Permitting
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will invest $41 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds in reducing the backlog of pending applications for wind and solar power projects on BLM-managed land. The investment is part of a $305 million investment announced by the Interior Department on May 1. The $41 million will also support the regional planning and siting of future wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass energy projects, and the transmission lines needed to deliver that renewable energy to market. Coordinating the development and transmission of renewable energy on a regional scale will accelerate the approval of projects and the creation of jobs associated with the projects. BLM will invest an additional $1.2 million to install solar power systems at 16 BLM fire stations in Nevada. The BLM is also investing $143 million to upgrade its facilities throughout the United States, and a portion of that funding will go toward energy efficiency improvements. See the Interior Department press release.
The Interior Department also announced on May 5 that it will further expedite the production of renewable energy on public lands by creating four new Renewable Energy Coordination Offices, while forming five smaller renewable energy teams. The new offices will be located in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Wyoming, while the smaller teams will be in Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah. The renewable energy offices and teams will cut red tape by expediting applications, processing, reviews, and permitting of renewable energy projects. See the Interior Department press release.

I would like to be able to stream the global audio output from the PC to the PS3.
This would allow me to use any audio player/transcoder/streamer on my PC and just send the single stream to the PS3. No more messing around with porting playlists etc. As an example, my wife could start itunes on the PC and control it with her iphone streaming the audio through the PS3.
