The 58th annual Neosho Holiday Classic is set to tip next month as teams from across the country will converge on Neosho for games that run through Wednesday, Dec. 26, through Saturday, Dec. 29 at Neosho High School and Neosho Middle School.
Due to the tournament field on both the girls and boys side having yet to be finalized, the names of the committed teams will not be released to the public at this time. If the history of the tournament has any bearing on what fans should expect, this should be another exciting tournament, however, as there again figures to be a mix of local, regional and national teams this season.
Last season, two of the top recruits in the country — University of Kentucky commits Andrew and Aaron Harrison — participated in the Classic. Throughout the years the event has hosted many top Division-I athletes and professionals such as NBA standouts Alec Burks, Hasheem Thabeet and Jeremy Tyler, WNBA star Shekinna Stricklen and NFL players Josh Freeman and Zack Pianalto.
Fans wishing to get a sneak peek on the committed tournament teams as they are released can do so by following the Neosho Classic on both Facebook and Twitter, or by visiting www.neoshoholidayclassic.com for more information with teams being released starting Dec. 1. Brackets will be posted on the website shortly before the start of the tournament while game results will also be posted on the website and Twitter.
A session pass for the event, which runs in an a.m. or p.m. session, costs $5. All-day passes for the event are $8 while all-tournament pass, good for all games throughout the tournament, are $20 apiece.
Slam-dunk and 3-point contests, always a fan favorite event, will be held the night of Friday, Dec. 28.
La-Z-Boy will be donating furniture for fans in a VIP seating contest. The winners of the contest, who will be seated in the furniture, will enjoy free drinks and snacks while watching the championship games courtside.

The Belpre Golden Eagles went 2-0 in a quad wrestling meet that also included Marietta, Warren and Caldwell Wednesday night at Marietta Middle School.
After defeating Warren in its first match, Belpre came right back to beat Marietta 48-27.
"My team wrestled pretty well," said Belpre head coach Scott Adams. "I still don't have a full lineup. We've got kids that are injured, but everyone's wrestling solid right now."

JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Warren's Cody Dobbs, left, and Belpre's Jake Hall tangle in the 138-pound weight class at Marietta Middle School Wednesday night. Dobbs won by a pin.
Belpre got pins from Ethan Wiggers and Derek Davis, a decision win from Jake Hall, and an injury defeat from Matthew Colvin.
Gavin Stonaker, Zach Davis, Manney Tullius and Hayden Lowe all won by forfeit for the Golden Eagles.
For Marietta, Nick Spurr, Will Cogswell and Malachi Vaughn all won by decisions, but it wasn't quite enough to win the duel against Belpre.
"I thought we had a very good matchup with some tough local teams," said Marietta head coach Bill Heldman. "Some of our kids could've done a little better. A lot of other kids did well. Guys are beat up a little bit but all in all they had a good match."
In addition to losing to Belpre, the Tigers also fell to Caldwell. Jonnie Hedrick got a pin in his match, while Spurr picked up his first of two pins on the night.
"Nick Spurr, he's a senior. He's doing well," said Heldman. "He's got a shot if he keeps working, a shot at making it to the state tournament."
Caldwell was led in the match by pins from Kameron Rayner, Caleb VanMeter, Tyler Wiley and Jared Leasure.
While Warren dropped its opening match to Belpre, it was able to rebound strong with a victory over Caldwell.
Brandon Pahl, who is 19-3 on the year, and Levi Congelton have been two of Warren's key wrestlers this year. Both picked up forfeit victories over the Redskins, but it was another Warrior grappler who came up big that had the biggest impact.
"Chris Massey stepped it up tonight in his match against Caldwell," said Warren head coach Mike Pahl. "He really brought it home for us."
Pahl would like to see his team get a little sharper as the season reaches the difficult part of its schedule.
"The kids were a little bit flat tonight," Pahl said. "We're wrestling four times in 10 days here. The tougher part of our schedule is coming up. We've got Sheridan this weekend and two weeks from now Miami Trace, who is also real tough. And it just gets tougher each week after that."
Belpre, who improved to 8-4 with the pair of mat victories, is also looking to improve and gain experience as the season progresses.
"We've still got a way to go," Adams said. "We're still working on a lot of fundamentals and things like that.
"We've got a young team. We've got several freshman in the lineup so we're still working with them at the varsity level. We're still grinding away."
For Marietta, the next match will be the Williamstown Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 26.
The Warriors, now 18-7, are scheduled to get back at it this Saturday at the Invitational Larry Remmert Memorial at Sheridan High School.

Ok, so we are ALMOST a go for the Des Moines Open Walnut Ridge Retro course.. The problem we are going to have is that this event WILL sell out.
We have a couple of options, and it looks as if I am going to move this to a 2-day event this year so that everyone that wants in can get in.
We can either do Open / intermediates on one day and Advanced / Rec on the opposite day OR we could do 1 round both days and have tee times.
Personally I don't care either way because I will be there both days but I would like to hear some opinions.

Q I want to share this description of driving from a dude who wanted to carpool with me.
Ms. Anonymous
Palo Alto
A A carpool partner from heaven -- or hell?
Q He wanted to drive. We're on busy freeways. He chooses a middle lane and sets the cruise control (a button I have not even found on my car, I think it's so stupid), and immediately we become a road boulder going about 60 mph, if that, with multiple lanes on both sides streaming past doing at least 75) -- and, yes, he's babbling on about I don't know what because I couldn't pay attention while I was afraid for my life.
He's talking with his hands -- both off the wheel to gesture repeatedly while the car wobbles back and forth, hitting the Botts' dots on both sides. So I venture so boldly to interrupt to say, "Could we stay in the lane at least?" and his response -- get this -- was, "Hey, the lines are moving on me," saying that they weren't straight.
Um, um, um, yeah, dude, the road ain't straight. You're supposed to follow it. Damn, men have excuses for everything.
Ms. Anonymous
A Careful now.
Q And, oh, the description he gave in defense of his crappy driving. When I asked if he could keep his hands on the wheel, he said: "Hey, I've been driving since I was 8. We'd drive the trucks to haul hay out all day long. It was a family affair. We'd sit and talk and visit and relax while driving."
He treats the world outside his car almost as an insignificant background to the great visit he's having in there. Unbelievable. He was blissfully unaware of how his crappy driving philosophy increased the risk to everyone near him.
Please withhold my name for obvious reasons.
A You have spawned an idea. I want to hear from drivers who have had terrific carpool partners -- and not-so-terrific ones. No holds barred. The good, the bad and the ugly. How do you screen potential carpool partners?
Q KCBS tells me it's going to be raining ... and raining ... and raining. You need to tell drivers how to motor along in the wet stuff, especially when they hit standing water.
Rachel Nauman
San Jose
A Slowly, and if you start to hydroplane, don't brake suddenly, or turn the wheel. Release the gas pedal slowly and steer straight until you regain traction. If you must brake, tap the brake pedal.
When the road is wet, especially after a few weeks of dry weather, the film caused by dirt, grease and oil mixes with the rain and causes asphalt to become slick. This will eventually wash away, but the first few days can be dangerous.
Also, wipers on, headlights on. That's headlights, not running lights.
Q Gary, I believe the "Don't Stop Stupid" sign (mentioned in a column last week) was at 156/152 in Hollister before the flyover was built a few years ago. I will never forget traffic backing up toward Gilroy as people stopped going east to let the other traffic through. What a nightmare that was!
Chris Nielsen, Lesley Waltner and many more
A Correct! John Christie placed this sign at that location, pleading for drivers eastbound on 152 not to stop to let in westbound traffic turning left onto 156 -- which had a stop sign. This would frequently cause massive traffic jams. The CHP would remove the "Don't Stop Stupid" sign from a hillside and a few days later Christie would return and put in another sign. John now lives in Custer, S.D.
Q Is it legal for a UPS truck to use a spot marked for handicapped parking? I was parking in front of a store when a UPS truck backed into a handicapped parking spot next to me. I mentioned to the driver that it was a handicapped spot but he might as well have given me a one-finger salute. There was a regular spot adjacent to the one he took but he would have had to walk a couple of feet more to make his delivery. This doesn't seem right.
Hal Haswell
San Jose
A It's not. The UPS driver needs to park somewhere else.

An Oakland 9-year-old whose parents teach at a Berkeley music school has led a team to victory in a nationwide contest of knowledge and mental acuity.
Emile Serper and four of his friends won an annual contest sponsored by Mensa International, a group that defines itself as a society for those with exceptionally high IQs.
Emile -- a prodigy in music and academics -- and teammates Charlotte Peale, William Peale, Gavin Williams, all of Berkeley and Grant Griffin of Oakland took a 90-minute Mensa test administered to all age groups on April 29. The results were released in August.
The team answered 42 out of 272 questions correctly, enough to take first place in the Culture Quest Future Generation Division for kids 18 and under.
Emile, the team captain, has been a Mensa member since age 5 and fulfilled the requirement of having at least one Mensa member on the squad.
"The fact that they won with 42 correct answers shows how hard the test is," said Laura Serper, Emile's mother.
A sample question: "What does the word 'trombone' mean in French? Answer: "Paperclip."
One could answer the question through a knowledge of French or by deducing it from what a trombone looks like, illustrating Mensa's emphasis on mental acuity as well as academic learning.
There were questions about music, math, geography, literature, history and other subjects on the test, according to Laura Serper and her husband Arkadi Serper.
"If they had to do things over again, I think (the team) would have strategized the test better, with each team member taking questions about the subjects they know the best," Laura Serper said.
Instead, they tackled all the questions they had time for as a group, she said.
The Serpers said Emile has shown superior intelligence from a young age. He is considered to be "profoundly gifted," meaning his IQ is believed to be above 170, Laura Serper said.
He was accepted in the young scholar program by the Reno, Nev.-based Davidson Institute for Young Scholars on the basis of his performance on the institute's test. Later, the couple placed him in Mensa, where he scored in the 99.9th percentile on the its qualifying test.
One of Emile's strongest subjects is math. During an interview, he successfully squared several randomly selected double and triple digit numbers.
Emile is also talented in languages, Laura Serper said. He has picked up a good command of Modern Greek from his maternal grandmother and from lessons he took from a Greek teacher. He is also improving his Russian with the help from Arkadi Serper, a native of Ukraine.
"Emile was my ears and mouth when we took a trip to Greece last year," Arkadi Serper said.
Emile said his knowledge of Greek has helped him improve his vocabulary since many English words are derived from Greek. He cited arachnophobia, a fear of spiders, and appropriate for Halloween, as his favorite example and named his Mensa team "Gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek.
Emile receives some home-schooling from Laura Serper and takes academic classes at Tilden Preparatory High School in Albany, and cello and piano lessons at Crowden School in Berkeley, where his mother is the choral music director and Arkadi Serper is a piano and composition instructor.
Emile also plays -- and his parents winced a little about this -- the drums.
"He is thriving with a special blend of home school and acceptance of his ability to grow at his own rate," Laura Serper said.
The Serpers are thinking about enrolling Emile in college well before he's 18 since he is taking high school-level courses now, including algebra and geometry. But, the Serpers feel that interacting socially with college-age students could be a problem for any 9-year-old.
"We value children being children," she said. "We don't feel like we want him to miss that."

Set I is a nice set-up to the run, with some cool covers (I really enjoy Rock & Roll Part 2 for some reason), a dark-as-night Stash, and a host of energy. Set II, though, is where the real meat lies. A really great Gin opens things up, never straying outside the original melody but doing some really cool things within it (Trey's mellifluous soloing is a real treat), leading to a wicked-fast and woefully short Piper, taken at '95-level intensity. The Gettin' Jiggy Wit It is probably my favorite Fish moment ever, made the more fun because this time we don't have to take the song seriously (Trey and Mike laughing through their "na na na" backups is a hoot). Hood takes things down to a nice and mellow level after the composed sections (Page's twinkling notes are a highlight), and then Zero/Cavern close things out on a rocking high. Not an all-time classic set or anything, but fun to blast in the car on a summer day.
Night 2's the better night musically, I'd say, but this show is great fun to listen to. Give that Gin a listen at the least, as well as GJWI if you enjoy a good chuckle during your Phish time.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 26, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The results are in, and some students at a local high school were exposed to a highly-contagious disease.
Some parents are still concerned about the tuberculosis scare at Butler High School. News 12 spoke to one parent today as she took her son to be tested.
"I feel that it could have been handled a little better, especially when you have a large population such as a high school," Jackson said.
Jackson was upset on Friday because she had to leave work to pick up her child.
"It's taking time out. You know, you have to call them to see what's going on -- like now I'm getting off of my job and have to come down here to see what's going on," she said.
On Monday and Tuesday, students were tested to see if they were exposed to tuberculosis at Butler High School.
"I wouldn't consider it an outbreak, but like I said I'm not an expert, that'll be the Health Department, but I'm pretty sure if it were an outbreak, they would have closed butler high school down," said Principal Gregory Thompson.
There are 200 students that are in a "high risk" pool and school administrators say 80 of those "high risk" students have not been tested.
"I say to those parents, please take your child to get tested. This is a very serious thing, and it may not be so serious at all, but you have to be sure," said PTA President Monique Braswell.
Braswell says she has heard from many concerned parents.
"Of course, you are going to have parents that say it's blown out of proportion -- it doesn't matter, I have faith, nothing's going to happen. Then you have those parents who can't sleep at night. So let's bring everybody to a median. Let's just get everybody tested," Braswell said.
Jackson's son is one of the students in the high risk pool
"You can't just pick out certain people that this student was around and say, 'OK, we are going to test you all,' the whole school should have been tested. Check the whole school," she said.
Jackson is taking her son to get tested and says she hopes for better communication between parents and administration in the future.
It could take health officials six to eight weeks to determine if the students exposed to TB actually have the disease.

Opposition greets news of hunting 'Brother Grizzly' PABLO — The common thread at this Monday's public hearing on proposed changes to Tribal Ordinance 44D was: "It's obscene and disgusting to even be considering allowing grizzly bears to be hunted under Tribal law." The hearing was called to discuss a number of proposed hunting and fishing policy changes, including the possibility of allowing limited taking of grizzly bears and bighorn sheep, which is now prohibited under Tribal, but not state, law. While the 60 or so in attendance didn'thaveallthatmuchtosay about the bighorn sheep proposal ("I don't know anyone who likes mutton around here anyway," Mike Durglo commented), all but one speaker expressed intense disagreement with the grizzly proposal, either from a cultural standpoint, or based on biology. Ron Therriault pointed out that Tribal Council sanctioning of even limited grizzly bear hunting would be a reversal of the Tribes' policy of resource protection. The Tribes is on record, he said, as being a leader in conservation matters, as evidenced by the Mission Wilderness, the Class 1 air quality designation, its nuclear-free zone proclamation, and various hunting closures designed to protect fragile wildlife populations in some areas of the Reservation. It's obscene to even be thinking about hunting grizzlies, he said. "It's not man's God-given right to kill everything that moves, just for the sake of blowing something away," he asserted. Tony Incashola, Salish Culture Committee member, agreed, and passed along the comments of elders who had met earlier in the day in St. Ignatius. Incashola said Indians have "a great respect for this powerful animal". Three elders — Agnes Kenmille, Agnes Van-derburg and Bud Barnaby—asked him to speak for them in expressing their disagreement. "Agnes Kenmille said the grizzly is our king," Incashola said. "His power is like that of the eagle. Agnes Vanderburg said if people begin bothering the grizzly, there will be trouble. Bud Barnaby said there's no reason at all to be hunting for the sake of just taking trophies." (Concludes on the next page) Local governments would suffer at loss of reservations After viewing a report prepared by the federal Government Accounting Office, Rep. Pat Williams, D-Mont., says that counties near reservations would suffer "enormous financial difficulty" if federal money was cut off to the tribes. In an interview with the Associated Press, Williams said "Because of the federal deficit, there has been and will continue to be a serious effort in Washington to unload what have been federal responsibilities onto local taxpayers." Several proposals have been made in recent years by Montanans - most seriously, the National Association of Counties - to end the reservation system. Many members of Congress have indicated to Williams that supporters of the idea are increasing their efforts. The study by GAO was requested by Williams "to determine what the effect would be of shifting a 50-year federal burden to the localities." A 47-page report resulted from the study that shows both state and county governments would have to spend millions of additional dollars to provide services the reservations now provide. At the request of Williams and Sen. John Melcher, D-Mont., the GAO examined funding associated with the Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Fort Belknap and (Concludes on the next page)

A mild earthquake jiggled deep in the Cascade Mountains 21 miles east of Shady Cove this afternoon, but it likely went unnoticed to all but those government scientists paid to look for quakes.
The quake's magnitude measured 2.7 on the Richter Scale and it also occurred 2.7 miles below the surface, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It struck at precisely 1:55.29 p.m., according to the USGS.
Mapping by the USGS shows that it is north of Mount McLoughlin in an area with mild recent earthquake activity, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.
The National Weather Service in Medford posted information about it on its Facebook page Monday afternoon, but the only call that office received about it came from a woman who received an electronic update on the seismic activity, says Chuck Glaser, data acquisition program manager with the weather service in Medford,
"It's not much of an earthquake, but it's something," Glaser says. "We don't know of anybody who felt it."

Usually the oncoming cold weather and falling leaves can lead us to whatever activities and emotions (melancholy? Introspection? Hibernation? Ski conditioning?) one associates with pulling those dark, muted colors out of our wardrobes.
Not this season.
Looking at fashion trends going into the fall, the blacks and grays have been replaced for 2012 with those bright colors we saw emerge in the spring and summer, particularly in denim.
"Jeans actually have really come around again," said Molly Summerhill, of Roxy. "After the introduction of colors in the summer, the big trends for fall is the color still going forward. There are lots of wines and emerald, wine and orange, mustard. Last winter was gray and black. People are so excited to see color. The response was so strong, the direction we've gotten in our pre-fall stuff. People are happy to see some deep, rich colors. Everyone needs one colored pair. It's funny, you'd think it wouldn't be the most flattering thing to have a bright color on your bottom half, but they can come in a cut that's actually very sleek."
Local shop owners and buyers have just returned from the annual Magic fall fashion tradeshow in Las Vegas and are running with what they've learned, stocking up on their autumn offerings. But even before the new trends were on display, various fashion spies already spilled the beans on what to look for.
According to a Glamour Magazine's fall fashion rundown, wine is the hot color for women's clothing in 2012, particularly in jackets and cardigans. For men, however, dark blue is coming back.
"Midnight blue is the new black in men's wear," said Arriesgado's Cabal Yarne. "We see it more for jackets. Blazers are popular again for dressing things up. And everything is getting a little more shaped for men ... not as baggy."
While black is never truly out of style, Glamour suggests that you "splash up" an all-black fall outfit with bright red shoes, and it also points out that "shiny tights make an outfit look more expensive."
Oooh. Shiny
Shiny isn't only trendy for tights. If you're not wearing colored jeans, you'd better be in a pair of sparkly metallic ones, because the metal look - not mullets, mind you, but sparkles - is hot.
"There is a new trend in metallic overlay and a liquid metallic finish," Summerhill said. "The denim is wax-coated with shimmer added."
Valleygirl's Sandy Helt goes further to describe the color scheme as "jewel tones."
"Jewel tones [of] burgundy, mustard, emerald and cobalt and all metallic tones of silver, gold and rose gold," she said.
And the shimmer is not just in the bottoms. According to Helt, it's not a bad idea to put a little twinkle in your top, too.
"Sparkly sweaters are everywhere this fall and holiday," she said. "Sweaters with sequins or metallic thread woven into the knits are a must-have item for the season. This is a great style to feel dressed up but not overdressed for evening mountain events."
A mix of materials is also hip for tops - knit sweaters with leather colors or pockets, silk and cotton blouses, a little lace sticking out here and there ...
Stylishly unlikely combinations
Glamour recommends that a "girly" ensemble be toned down with "one sporty element." This shouldn't be hard for mountain girls. The suggestions are ball caps, bulky jackets or a combo of "rustic sweater with dance-floor bottoms." The warning is "don't overdue it." That means a stocking hat and a bulky jacket might be a little too much, ladies.
Also, in contrast to the historically dull and muted colors and combos for fall, patterns are still big among women's blouses and jackets, from floral to polka dots to animal prints, but also a little touch of the southwest.
"A huge trend is Missoni-inspired zigzag prints," Helt said. "Missoni zigzag prints are very popular on dresses, tops and scarves."
"The Aztec Indian prints are strong for fall," Summerhill agreed.
Moving onto accessories, there are some other eye-catching standouts this fall, namely neon. Valleygirl will carry a line of knit hats and scarves that will be hard to miss when scanning a crowd.
"I have ordered a few styles in some bright neons that you can't help but love when you see them," Helt said. "They are really fun and will make great holidays gifts."
That's right ... day-glo is not just a thing of the early '90s. Just like skulls are not only for Halloween. You may have thought they had come and gone in an all-around fashion sense, but they haven't. Skulls are back.
"We have seen it before. It's one of those things that will never go away, the way it cycles back through," Summerhill said. "[Designer] Alexander McQueen did a silk skull scarf that's been popular. I'm excited that the skull jewelry is back, turquoise or we have a black cardigan with a skull on the back. The way we feel about it is if it's done tastefully, a skull cardigan might be for someone in her 20s to mid-30s, but a bracelet with a skull ... that can transcend age brackets.
Those boots are made for walking ... and wearing well
If the fashion police aren't staring in awe at your bright pink hat or your turquoise skull necklace, they might be fixated on your feet.
Another big trend for fall that local buyers walked away with from the Vegas show was the cowboy - or cowgirl, rather - flare.
"Going back to western boots, you see a lot of cowboy out there," said Robin Wolnik, of Colorado Footwear. "Everybody's got a western boot in their line: embroidered, rugged, engineering style ... even in Europe, big flowers on all the westerns were big."
Also, ankle-length boots - usually a spring and summer hit - are sticking around for fall, and if the skulls aren't adding a tough touch, studded boots are making a point of it, although not in black.
"Funny enough, studs are back," Wolnik said. "For us, black and studs are so motorcyclist, but you see a lot of studs on gray colors and browns. Black with studs tends to look kind of heavy, but there are a lot of studs out there this season."
Frye is a sure-fire brand on top of the latest trends and also with enough traction to carry you safely through those surprising September and October snowstorms.

The black Light Kit Bag (34 x 13.5 x 12") from Impact makes transporting your lighting kit easy and secure. The bag is designed to hold three monolights along with their reflectors (such as Impact VC500LR), four stands, boom, umbrellas, cables and other support gear but can also be used to hold other lighting equipment instead. You'll have plenty of room to take along enough lighting gear for a portrait session - all packed in an organized and accessible way. A touch fastened divider tray separates the stands, boom and umbrellas from the lights preventing them from bumping together and causing scratches or damage. For additional smaller equipment such as cables and small accessories, there are three interior 10.5 x 8.0" zippered mesh pockets.
The bag is made from soft, padded water-resistant nylon and contains six movable touch fastened interior dividers (6 large, 2 small) that will permit you to configure the bag to accommodate the gear you need that day. The Light Kit Bag is carried by its two 2" wide overlapping top carry handles that can easily be extended into dual shoulder straps. The contents are accessed via dual zippers that when placed together will accept a user-supplied lock. For even more protection, the bottom of the bag contains three rubber feet for when the bag is placed on the ground. Whether for storage or transport, the Impact Light Kit Bag will serve both pro or amateur well.

Justice praises drug court program
April 20, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Five more people joined the ranks of graduates from the West Central Drug Court in a ceremony Friday in the Judge Black Annex....
60 people may have graduated but how many of them are still clean,sober and employed-meaning not on welfare? This article poses more questions than it asks. How much is this program costing taxpayers? Even if these people get sober at a halfway house the taxpayers pick up the tab. They get introduced to welfare, get foodstamps, a medical card, access to a free education, childcare/daycare-but how many of them actually see this program through and become a productive, clean member of society and how many fail and become career welfare mothers and fathers? Calling this program a success is like calling the institution of marriage a success because fifty couples got married last month. But how many of them made it work and did not get divorced? I don't think we got the whole picture with this article.

In my opinion treatment in lieu of conviction has been a horrible-and very expensive-failure. Jail and prison are much more effective tools for change. Giving people a free ride because they have an addiction is counterproductive.

Dang Jane let's recap you can't stand less than perfect children or adults. Congrats grads, keep up the good work and make a better life for yourself and your children. Takes a lot of hard work and guts to change, don't go back to the old ways - the difference is now you know you can do it, as a mom I am proud of all of you, and I am sure your moms are too.

The EC cleared AstraZeneca's Zinforo™ (ceftaroline fosamil) intravenous antibiotic for the treatment of adults with complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI) or community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The firm says the drug is the only cephalosporin monotherapy approved in Europe that has demonstrated clinical efficacy against MRSA.
AstraZeneca licensed worldwide (excluding the U.S., Canada, and Japan) commercial rights and co-exclusive development rights to ceftaroline fosamil from Forest Laboratories in 2009. The drug was launched by Forest in the U.S. under the tradename Teflaro® in March 2011. Teflaro is similarly approved by FDA for the treatment of adults with CAP and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Last month Forest reported Teflaro sales $9.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 were $7.9 million.
Clearance of the Zinforo in Europe was based on data from a Phase III trial program including four pivotal registrational studies, Canvas 1 and 2 in patients with cSSTI, and Focus 1 and 2 in patients with CAP. Zinforo was also effective in vulnerable patient groups including the elderly, or those with relevant underlying comorbidities including diabetes, peripharl vascular disease, COPD, or asthma.
AstraZeneca says Zinforo has a mechanism of action that differs from other approved cephalosporins. The drug is designed to inhibit penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis and repair, including PBPs found in MRSA-related cSSTI, and Streptococcus pneumoniae CAP.

One man is in custody and two still on the loose. 19-year-old Joseph Jacobs is behind bars. He and two other unknown suspects are accused of forcing their way into this South Augusta home Friday night, holding an 18-year-old female at gunpoint and forcing her to take off her clothes.
"We do not have all the information on the other suspects at this time. Investigators are still working and trying to get names," said Major Ken Autry.
Major Ken Autry says after searching the scene, investigators had little to work with, just a few forensic clues.
"The forensic evidence did lead to the arrest of the first suspect and there are many techniques that they use and they will be using some of those to try and catch the other suspects," Autry said.
No one was around the home this afternoon. But the victim is prepared in case the criminals come back, adding multiple deadbolt locks, an alarm system, and a web-camera, to go along with two barking dogs for extra protection.
Major Autry says though no one was hurt, the men got away with a large amount of jewelry and cash. And with few clues, the stolen jewelry may be key in catching the remaining suspects.
"We urge anybody that purchased any items from the suspect to contact us and turn those items in," Autry said.

Wednesday's letters: They don't get it
Published: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 6:26 p.m.
To the editor: After reading the front-page statements from our local GOP legislator guys, I was not surprised but so saddened to hear that criticisms are just sour grapes by the left, according to Sen. Tom Apodaca. I guess he doesnt have any school kids here and certainly doesnt teach a class in the area.
Our states public education is in dire straits, and the moves by this General Assembly aggravated the problem.
This is not a problem about the left, as stated by the representatives, and they just dont get it! Education is the key element for successful countries.
Congratulations to those who helped to sink public education even more in our state.

Public prayer
To the editor: It should be noted that the American Civil Liberties Union and biblical teaching are in agreement on the issue of public prayer.
The ACLU has been to court opposing it for many years. In Matthew 6:5-6, Jesus says, And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father.
It seems odd that this admonition is so generally overlooked since the Lords Prayer is Matthew 6:9. How would Jesus view prayer rallies around courtyard flagpoles?
Mary A. Oliver
Air cannons
To the editor: Praise to the commissioners concerning the use of air cannons in helping the apple grower. Protect their orchards from birds for what looks like the best crop in quite a few years.
Those newcomers, if they dont like it, can buy some ear plugs or move somewhere else.

More and more people are discovering free software. Many people only do so after weeks, or even months, of using it. I wonder, for example, how many Firefox users actually know how free Firefox really is—many of them realise that you can get it for free, but find it hard to believe that anybody can modify it and even redistribute it legally.
When the discovery is made, the first instinct is to ask: why do they do it? Programming is hard work. Even though most (if not all) programmers are driven by their higher-than-normal IQs and their amazing passion for solving problems, it's still hard to understand why so many of them would donate so much of their time to creating something that they can't really show off to anybody but their colleagues or geek friends.
Sure, anybody can buy laptops, and just program. No need to get a full-on lab or spend thousands of dollars in equipment. But... is that the full story?
The first myth is that free software programmers are all starving. Many people don't realise that a lot of free software programmers are actually paid to do their work. They are definitely lucky: they might be employed by a big company like Red Hat, that has never disappointed in terms of licensing and patch submissions. Or, they might work as contractors on specialised modules, on the basis that their code will be available to others; this happens a lot with the CMS Drupal, which we use for Free Software Magazine. On the other hand, for every (more or less) paid free software programmer there are many more who aren't. They do it because they either need/want something that doesn't exist (or, it does exist, but they need/want it done in different way), or because they just love programming and being part of a fantastic, enormous and ever growing community.
Paid or unpaid, company or private programmers, the question remains: why do they do it?
The answer, as amazing as it sounds, is "convenience". It's better, and more importantly cheaper, to develop free software.
A good example is Red Hat, which created Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). RHEL is based on thousands of pieces of free software, as well as extra packages that are developed internally. Unlike many of their less successful competitors, everything—even the custom software they've written—is released under the GPL (or another license which is ultimately based around the idea of being able to share the code). By releasing everything under the GPL, they basically get thousands and thousands of beta testers who test their code and send patches back to make sure that things get fixed. (For those who aren't developers: a "patch" is basically an improvement to an existing piece of code; it's basically a modification to an existing program, in order to fix problems or extend functionality). If Red Hat didn't release the code, they would have to spend enormous amounts of money to do what they do—and it wouldn't be half as good. What about CentOS, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone which uses Red Hat's source packages and doesn't require you to have a support contract with Red Hat in order to use it? I am sure CentOS "costs" Red Hat decent amounts of money in terms of lost revenue; however, I also know that it actually helps Red Hat's sales (I, personally, know of two different companies that started out with CentOS and "upgraded" to RHEL), and creates an army of system administrators who are used to CentOS and are going to pick Red Hat Enterprise Linux when their company wants a supported operating system. It's a bit like paying for advertising, really.
I talked about patches... why would all those people send patches back to Red Hat? Because it's better to do so.
Take Apache, for example. If your company runs Apache on its servers, you, of course, need it to work right. Now, if it doesn't and you find a bug, you can report the bug to the Apache developers. However, the bug might be one that will only affect a small minority of users; this might mean that it will have a very low priority for the developers. If it's important enough to you, you might decide to try and fix it yourself or, perhaps, pay somebody else to fix it.
If you send your patch back to the Apache developers, you will know that the bug will be fixed in every new release of Apache, so you won't have to keep fixing it every time you upgrade to a new version. Not only that, but everybody else who uses Apache will benefit too. Your patch will be checked over by amazing developers, improved, discussed and improved some more.
On the other hand, if you decide that you want to be greedy, and you don't submit the bug, you will have to re-apply it every time a new version of Apache comes out—and hope that the your patch still works each time. You will also have to settle for a patch that hasn't been peer-reviewed and, therefore, could (err... will), itself, be buggy. This is also true when you apply patches that would give your company a so-called "competitive advantage": you might decide to improve Apache so that it's vastly better than the "stock" version in some specific (and critical, to you) ways. However, you have the same problem: you will have to hope that whatever you change will keep on working over time with each version, and you will have to invest real money in developing and testing the patch(es).
I recently developed a karma module for Drupal. We wanted it for Free Software Magazine; therefore, I can say that I "got paid" to write it. Now, the module has been used on many other sites and is reviewed and improved by many other developers. On top of that, I also get recognition for having written a very powerful karma module for Drupal.
It might take the poetry away from free software, when you say that people and companies write it because it "suits them". But, it may well be the case.
Does anybody mind? I don't, as long as software stays free—as in freedom.
How a non-tech person understand
Hello! your article was nice for me because I was familiar with almost 99% term you've used but how can a non IT person be satisfied when he/she didn't ever heard about Apache, CentOS, RHEL, Clone, CMS, Module, Durpal .... Hey Hey it's gonna put a mess before him.... Explaining FOSS isn't much harder before an IT guy but the real need is out side the IT world.. Our university fellows, grandma, my neighbor...bla bla....Hope you got my point..Thanks
Great article, so- so writing though
Totally agree with your premise in the article.
But noticed vague and repetitive spots in your writing. So I didn't send it to friends.
For example:
"It's better, and more importantly cheaper, to develop free software."
"I talked about patches... why would all those people send patches back to Red Hat? Because it's better to do so."
What does better mean? More efficient? Seems vague.
Also seems repetitive to use same word (better) twice in same way.
only vague if taken out of context
By my reading of the editorial the use of the word "better" is not that vague because Tony uses the paragraphs that follow to unpack his statement. For example in the first instance he goes on to talk about how RedHat benefit from allowing CentOS to exist (via its use of free licencing). He says:
By releasing everything under the GPL, they basically get thousands and thousands of beta testers who test their code and send patches back to make sure that things get fixed.
That explains quite clearly why it's "better" for RedHat to release under the GPL. Better for RedHat and better for their customers. Better means more efficient, more economical and quicker.
For the second instance he goes on to give Apache as an example, saying:
If you send your patch back to the Apache developers, you will know that the bug will be fixed in every new release of Apache, so you won't have to keep fixing it every time you upgrade to a new version. Not only that, but everybody else who uses Apache will benefit too. Your patch will be checked over by amazing developers, improved, discussed and improved some more.
That's why it's better to submit patches. Better to be permitted to and better to do it when you have the ability.
And are you really suggesting that to use the same word twice in the same way is bad? I may not be a grammar nazi but it seems that if you want to say something is better, then that is the best word to use. It's a different case if the two uses are in the same sentence or adjacent ones but for goodness sake, these ones are a hundred or so words apart and a whole paragraph apart.
Mirror mirror...
I like the editorial. I agree with the comments... so why don't the critics submit their own editorials? Call them columns.
Great editorial
Though just have one typo to correct. It should read "companies" and not "company". Cheers!
not so sure
If you mean this bit..
Paid or unpaid, company or private programmers, the question remains: why do they do it?
Then I think it's not a typo. I think it is referring to company programmers or private programmers, rather than companies or private programmers.
Of course I could be wrong - has been known. ;o)
a translation
Thank you for the article. I have translated this article into Russian and placed it on my non-profit page http://vitalykorneev.livejournal.com/15786.html
If you have any objections or suggestions please let me know.
Thank you!
No it's all good -- thank you for translating it!
A possible answer
I believe that they do so for publicity because the more people use their software the more famous they get................. and to be honest, I don't think it is a bad idea. not everybody can pay the price for an original software today and perhaps this is the only way many people can get it.

Megan Rhodes Smith
Assistant Coach
|(615) 966-7158
|Follow MRhodesSmith
Pitching coach Megan Rhodes Smith returns for her second season as pitching coach for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons.
Smith spent the 2013 season with the Western Kentucky softball program, working with pitchers and catchers along with working with players on the mental aspects of the game. She also has been an assistant at Middle Tennessee and Charleston Southern.
Smith, a former standout at David Lipscomb High School, played four seasons for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols. She left the program ranked second all-time in strikeouts (726), third in wins (67) and fourth in innings pitched (570.1). She posted a 67-22 record for a .753 winning percentage and also had a 1.77 earned run average, both rank fourth best all-time. She made 135 appearances including 96 starts.
She helped the Lady Vols make three appearances in the Women's College World Series.
Ryman likes the fact that Smith brings both a history of recruiting as well as a name that will be well-known to softball players around the country.
"She knows a lot of the local talent, which is good," Ryman said. "She knows her pitching. She is going to help draw good quality pitchers. She obviously has the ability to help them continue to improve once they are here."
Smith holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from Tennessee. She was an SEC Honor Roll member for three years with a 3.8 grade point average. She earned a master's degree in sports studies with a concentration in sports psychology from Tennessee in 2009.
"Megan has a great track record for improving pitchers," Ryman said. "I like Megan's philosophy. She has a great coaching mentality. I think she is going to quickly gain the respect of our pitchers.
"It is exciting for me that she has a master's degree in sports psychology. She has a chance to not only impact our pitchers, but also our entire team."
Also known for her community service Smith received the Brad Davis SEC Community Service Postgraduate Scholarship.
Her husband, Kevin, is assistant athletic director and assistant football coach at Franklin Road Academy. They have a daughter, Jillene . Megan's father, Dr. Steve Rhodes, is director of instrumental ensembles at Lipscomb.
"It is an exciting move because it is a little bit like coming home," Smith said. "I didn't go to college here, but I feel very at home on this campus. My Dad is here. It is definitely a place my family is a part of. Lipscomb is a special place.
"I have always paid attention to what Lipscomb has done in softball. Ever since coach Ryman has gotten here there has been success on top of success. I am excited about being a part of a softball program that has been as successful as this one."

Things aren't going so hot for the Miami Heat right now, but the mere sight of the Warriors at Oracle Arena on Wednesday night figures to spike the NBA champions' collective temperature.
The Heat has lost three of four on its current six-game trip, which should be enough to fire up LeBron James and Co. They blew a 12-point lead in a loss at Portland on Thursday, then were whipped soundly by Utah on Monday in a game in which Chris Bosh had one rebound in 26 minutes and Dwyane Wade sat out the entire fourth quarter in a stew.
Miami is tired, out of sync and cranky as it hits the Bay Area, and the Heat has gone under cover to boot. A scheduled practice at USF was canceled Tuesday, as was media access to the team.
But even with Miami mum, everyone knows the score. The Heat has some heavy payback on the books due Golden State, and that might be just the tonic for the struggling champs.
The Warriors beat the Heat 97-95 in Miami last month when rookie forward Draymond Green took a feed under the basket from Jarrett Jack and scored the game-winning bucket with 0.9 seconds left. They also beat the Heat in overtime at Oracle a year ago.
More incentive needed? James, who surely hasn't forgotten the hard foul he took from David Lee in the last meeting, is 18 points shy of becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points. At 28 years, 17 days, he'll beat Kobe Bryant's mark of 29 years, 122 by more than a year.
Green, who received a hug and flattering compliments from James after the Warriors' win Dec. 12, doesn't expect the same kind of pleasantries from LeBron this time around, particularly with that career milestone on the tee.
"He's going to be in attack mode," Green said. "Every time he steps on the court, he's liable to do something special or something spectacular. But probably even more so in this game."
Green, who performed well defensively down the stretch against the NBA's reigning MVP, is well aware that someone on the Warriors is likely going to be the victim of James' 20,000th point. LeBron has scored at least 18 points in 74 of his last 75 games, and he's coming off a 32-point effort against the Jazz.
"I definitely don't want to be in that poster or the video that's going to continue to play," said Green.
James is definitely stoked to get to 20K if his comments to assembled media in Utah are any indication.
"It's more than a number," James said. "It means I've been able to stay healthy, for one. And I've been able to, I guess, play at a high level, and been around teammates that allow me to play at a high level, as well. So it is more than number."
The Warriors, of course, have their own incentive. They've lost three of four with several tough games besides Miami ahead of them.
"We're not going to win all these games in the month of January, but we're going to keep grinding every single game, and we're going to find a way to get as many of these as we can," Lee said.
"We'll see how he responds and act accordingly," coach Mark Jackson said. "I didn't want him out there banging (at practice). I wanted to give it another day of rest. He says he's going to be fine, but we're being smart with it. We want to make sure he's right before he steps on the floor."
Wednesday's game
Miami (24-12) at Warriors (23-13), 7:30 p.m. CSNBA

Hey guys, kinda new to this PMS thing and just wanna thank the devs for making such an awesome programme. Anyway after trying to playback some videos i noticed some of them were extremely choppy and slow. I'm not sure was it due to my router or something. Both my laptop and PS3 get like 77% signal from the router in the hall. Do forgive me if this has already been done but I've decided to make the playback a little smoothe by doing these few things and so far its been working really well and handling everything I can throw at it. Watching Superbad right now LOL
So basically what I did was create an access point with my laptop. So instead of going the long way round PS3 > Router > Laptop i removed the router out of the equation. This might have been done before but i just wanna share that it works wonders. Transferring stuff is so much quicker with the PS3 > Laptop. With more settings you can actually connect to the internet through your laptop.
Surfing on the laptop isn't affected one bit. So anyway I would love to have a step by step run down but then again like I said not too sure if someone has already done it so yeah if anyone is interested in this method just leave a reply and I'll do a step by step if its been done before then I'll just not do it hahaha
BTW if your savvy enough a little googling does wonders you'll get this up and running in like 5mins

- A's shortstop Jed Lowrie still looking for first ALDS hit
DETROIT — Is there a case to be made for Sonny Gray as the Game 5 starter if the A's and Tigers wind up getting there?
A's manager Bob Melvin has to make that call in the next 48 hours after an 8-6 loss to Detroit forced the American League Division Series to a decisive fifth game Thursday.
Before the game, the A's were going with Game 1 starter Bartolo Colon in Game 5. Colon, the loser in a 3-2 game, may be replaced by Gray, who threw eight shutout innings against the Tigers in Game 2.
Asked after Tuesday's game in Comerica Park, Melvin said "I haven't decided yet," when ask about his Game 5 starter. The Tigers have. By using Max Scherzer in relief to get the win Tuesday, Detroit committed to Justin Verlander, who threw a shutout at the A's in Game 5 in Oakland last year.
Gray last pitched on Thursday, as did Verlander in a game the A's won 1-0 after both men were out of the game. Both men would be going on their every-fifth day turn if they are matched up again.
Colon, the A's 18-game winner who pitched reasonably well but lost Game 1 in the Coliseum, would be pitching with extra rest, which isn't that big a deal.
What is a big deal is that the Tigers, who have seen Colon over the years, have a book on him. They know what he throws. Colon can beat them, but he hasn't this year. The A's are 1-2 in games Colon has pitched against the Tigers this year.
He got no decisions in the two games he pitched against them in the regular season, one win and one loss. The A's won the first game in 12 innings in the Coliseum in April after Colon allowed three runs in seven innings. The Tigers scored a walkoff win against Grant Balfour on Aug. 29 after Colon had allowed one run in five innings and left with a 6-1 lead.
Gray has only pitched once against the Tigers, but it was a true eye-opener, an eight-inning, four-hit, two-walk, no-run effort in which he, too, didn't get the win. After Balfour pitched a scoreless ninth inning Saturday in Oakland, the A's got a walkoff win on Stephen Vogt's bases-loaded single in the ninth.
Afterward the Tigers were full of praise for Gray, who has pitched well in 10 of his 11 starts since his promotion from Triple-A Sacramento.
The Vanderbilt product seems destined to be a star. What the A's have to decide now is if they want to double down on Gray in this series.
One major byproduct would mean that Colon would get the Game 1 start against the Red Sox in Fenway Park, where the series will start if Boston comes out of the other ALDS on top, rather than Gray, who has never pitched here.
A's manager Bob Melvin, in having Gray pitch Game 2 against the Tigers, made a big case for how Gray has pitched well in big games in the Coliseum.
This move would support that.
