Actelion: up to 135 jobs lost
13.07.2012 - Swiss biotech company Actelion announces to reduce headcount by 135 in order to lower costs and refocus research.
The swiss pharma company is relying heavily on 1st main product, the blood-pressure drug Tracleer, which currently accounts for around 90 percent of group sales and goes off patent in 2015. As the sales of the endothelin receptor antagonist decline, Actelion decided to start a cost saving initiative. "In order to take full advantage of the growth opportunities ahead of us, we must take decisive action now," said Chief Executive Jean-Paul Clozel.
The cost savings will reduce research spending. Actelion is set to concentrate 1st R&D activities towards orphan and speciality indications. Projects "which are not in alignment with this strategy will either be stopped, or prepared for partnership or out-licensing", the Swiss company stated on 12 June. The cuts will be the first at Actelion since it was founded in 1997 and will mostly hit the headquarters in Allschwil. Around 70 jobs, mostly in R&D and general administration, are likely go at the Allschwil site in Switzerland, where 1,100 employees are currently based. Another 45 currently vacant positions won't be filled, reports Fox Business.
"It's good to see they're doing the right thing," Michael Leuchten, an analyst at Barclays Capital in London, said to Bloomberg, adding that it would be "a bit more than they had been talking about" at a briefing in May, when the company said it would seek cost reductions in research, and not administration. Analyst Birgit Kulhoff, who manages a healthcare portfolio for private bank Rahn & Bodmer in Zurich is more sceptical. She said, that Actelion's cost-cutting scheme would merely aim at keeping the company afloat, after it had built up a structure that was too big and hard to sustain. Vontobel analyst Andrew Weiss expects the job cuts to generate savings of about CHF40m, while the related charges could be in the area of CHF20 million. Actelion will provide a will provide a business update at the half year reporting, scheduled for 19 July 2012.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/actelion-up-to-135-jobs-lost.html

It's just that initial 10 mile stretch from CR/Hiawatha to Center Point that sucks. I know it's only 10 miles but it seems to take forever.

Yeah, there are some cool back roads in the area. Pre-OWI I used to road trip all around that area but that was years ago.
Having grown up in Center Point, I could drive all those roads blindfolded.
They were the best way to get from point A to point B before I-380 was built. We'd always take a "lap" around town on the gravel roads to get away.
Ahhhh, teenage memories.
You remember those years? They're kind of hazy for me.
30+ years ago and still fresh in my somewhat convoluted mind.

Teddy bears, dolls and accessories of every description filled the Lafayette Hotel's ballroom during Marietta's 22nd annual Teddy Bear and Doll Show Sunday.
"It's winter and there's not a lot to do, so this is the perfect time for a doll show," said collector Lisa Hall of Marietta as she sorted through a doll display with 7-year-old granddaughter Lydia Hall.
They were among several hundred people who attended Sunday's event.

Collectors browsed through an assortment of teddy bears, dolls and accessories during the 22nd annual Teddy Bear and Doll Show at the Lafayette Hotel in Marietta Sunday.
"I've probably collected more than 100 dolls over the last 25 years," Lisa said. "I just look for whatever appeals to me. But Lydia has collected more than 70 Barbie Dolls."
Lee Beaumont and Charlotte Coppage traveled from Morgantown, W.Va., to Marietta for the show.
"It's very nice and there's a lot of variety," Beaumont said. "You can also find a lot of accessories like doll clothes, shoes-even furniture."

Teddy bear facts
Teddy bears were first introduced around 1905.
The fuzzy creatures have outsold every other toy on the market since 1907.
The natural product of wool (mohair), of which many teddy bears are made, helps release endorphins in humans which produces a comforting, relaxation effect, according to a recent scientific study.
Source: Toy and doll expert Ken Yenke.
Coppage said the event also provides an opportunity to learn more about the dolls both women collect.
"We especially like Indian dolls," she said. "But we also always enjoy staying here at the Lafayette each year."
Daniel Coe of Fleming brought his family into town for breakfast, but ended up at the Teddy Bear and Doll Show where his daughter, Danielle, 9, found a set of troll dolls to add to her collection.
"I've been collecting them for about three years now-I like the different colors of hair," Danielle said. "And I think the doll show is pretty cool."
Anna Vukovic, director of volunteer services for the Marietta Memorial Health System, is the event coordinator.
"We have a good turnout for this year's show-people were waiting at the door when opened at 10 a.m.," she said. "And by noon we already had 100 in attendance."
Vukovic said the typical turnout is about 300 people.
"That includes many of our loyal followers as well as some new faces every year," she said. "And we have more than 40 vendors from five different states in attendance."
The event generally raises around $1,000 annually to benefit the Marietta Area Teddy Bear Fund. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children.
"We try to keep the admission price low so everyone can attend," Vukovic said. "And all of the proceeds go into the teddy bear fund that allows us to provide teddy bears for children and even some adults who are hospitalized."
She said the stuffed toys help make young patients more comfortable in an often confusing hospital setting.
"A warm, fuzzy bear is something they can understand," Vukovic said.
Teddy bear and doll expert Ken Yenke of Strongsville, agreed.
"A study done in London, England, about three years ago showed the natural properties of wool (from which many teddy bears are made) help release endorphins in people that contribute to better sleep and relaxation," he said.
Yenke also noted that teddy bears, originally introduced in 1905, have outsold other toys every year from 1907 through 2012.
"I was really surprised to hear that, considering all the high-technology toys we see on the market today," Vukovic said.
Margaret Van Ness from Stockport had Yenke evaluate a Plum Peas Doll, made by the Uneeda Doll Company in 1967.
"A friend gave me this doll as a gift a few years ago, and (Yenke) placed the current value at between $25 and $50-so she really was a good friend," Van Ness said.
She said a crack had developed in the doll's neck, but Susan Reynolds, a doll restoration artist from Caldwell, was able to repair the defect
Reynolds, owner of Reynolds Restoration, was among the vendors at Sunday's show. She's been restoring bisque dolls and figurines for more than 15 years.
"I can make a new hand, a new arm-just about anything for dolls," she said. "I repair all types and sizes of figurines, too, working freehand, without casting molds."
Next to Reynolds' display, George and Joy Hausmann of Bay City, Mich., offered a variety of dolls, clothing, and spare parts.
"We've been attending this show for about seven years now," George said. "We sell antique dolls and dresses, and parts-some things that may be missing from a collector's doll-even doll eyes."
He opened a box that contained several sizes of glass doll eyes.
Joy Hausmann said the most collectible dolls currently date from the 1950s and earlier.
"I think a lot of baby boomers are renewing connections with their childhood," she said, adding that their business, Joy Hausmann Dolls, has customers from all over the world.
"We sell into countries like Russia, Europe, Australia, and Japan," Joy said. "And we participate in doll shows all over this country every month."
Asunta Damron, owner of the My Favorite Things shop on Front Street in Marietta, had some of her Lloyd Middleton Dolls on exhibit during Sunday's show.
"We make the dolls at our store, and have started a new line of 'Faith' dolls," she said. "The first five dolls in the series are named Faith, Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love."
Damron said values was the idea behind the new doll line.
"There seems to be such a lack of values in our society today, so we wanted to provide something that would help," she said. "Each doll comes with a gold cross pin and a story that teaches a different type of value."

THE BAD: Hard to write much about this show here. There's a few timing errors in Golgi going back into the chorus (doh!) and a band miscue during the Glide bridge (which you probably won't even notice). Generally, though, the band was ON this night. If there is anything to be said about this show, it's the handful of short numbers in set 1. But boy does set 2 make up for it in spades.
THE NERDY: Trey takes the break in Daniel to welcome everyone to the show. Listen for some fun band interplay during the Poor Heart where Cactus is introduced and Fish chides Trey as "Big Red". A handful of debuts at this show, including Purple Rain which features a Fish "The Purple One" vaccuum solo.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Several parents have raised concerns about the safety of a Friday night football game after a tuberculosis scare at one of the schools.
The nurse manager at the Burke County Health Department says the game between Burke County High School and Butler High School should be safe because it is outside and outside air "significantly dissipates" airborne tuberculosis bacteria. In a news release, the nurse manager says the Burke County fans and band members will be separated from the Butler High School fans and band members.
"As a mother I would not hesitate to take my children to this game and to allow my son to play," she said in the release.
Director of the Richmond County Health Department Dr. Ketty Gonzalez says "fans, students and players would be safe from tuberculosis at Butler Stadium."
The scare started earlier this month when a Butler student was believed to have contracted TB. Since then, students who have had contact with the student have been tested. Originally, only a smaller circle of students were tested, but testing was opened up to all students after students outside of the believed infected group had positive test results.

EU to limit use of health claims
23.03.2012 - Health claims are set to be drastically limited in the EU. On Wednesday 21 March the Environment Committee of the European Parliament confirmed a proposal of the European Commission to prohibit 1,600 health claims, most of them relating to probiotics.
Only 222 of the claims got the green light by the EU food watchdog EFSA, which carried out a scientific assessment of about 44,000 applications that were grouped to more general claims. British MEP Chris Davis and Finnish MEP Sirpa Pietkäinen had called on to reject the Commission's list, because they believed the list was flawed due to rigid assessment methods of the EFSA. Especially, probiotics developers and nutrition experts had criticised the EFSA for taking a pharma-like approach to assess efficacy of functional food without accepting studies with people who had i.e. diarrhea. However the members of the Parliament's Committee rejected the objection of their two colleagues. Consumer organisations such as BEUC said the vote will stop consumers from being misled by unsubstantiated or untruthful claims about foods.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-01/eu-to-limit-use-of-health-claims.html

It has been nearly 50 years and many subsequent crusades since consumer advocate Ralph Nader first captured the spotlight with the publication of "Unsafe at Any Speed." One might think that the title of his latest book, "Unstoppable," would indicate a memoir. Not so. Subtitled "The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State" (Nation Books, $25.99, 240 pages), the new book is an argument that the time is ripe for people on opposite sides of the political spectrum to wrest control over their futures away from big business.
Nader, 80, will talk about the book at two midweek appearances, beginning with Wednesday's conversation with Harry Kreisler, UC Berkeley's former executive director of the Institute of International Studies, at 7:30 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Berkeley, 2345 Channing Way. The event, sponsored by KPFA Radio, is $12 in advance, $15 at the door, with tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com. Nader also appears at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Commonwealth Club, 595 Market St., San Francisco; $25-$55; 415-597-6705, www.commonwealthclub.org.

There's a popular saying that dancer Tadej Brdnik grew up hearing in Slovenia that's oft-repeated in Vail as well.
"We have a joke there - we learn how to ski before we learn how to walk," he said.
It could also be said that after learning how to ski, Brdnik skipped the walking part and went straight to dancing. Brdnik, a principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company, grew up near a ski resort, so he's well-versed in how altitude affects athletes. The 39-year-old dancer is in town for the Vail International Dance Festival. Dancers from the company - the oldest dance troupe in America - premiered a piece at the festival on Monday, at the NOW Premieres evening, but the company's official debut is tonight.
Though Brdnik has been to Vail before, this is his first time dancing here and his first time attending the festival. As far as first impressions go, the Vail dance festival has made a good one thus far. For one thing, Vail is one of the very few dance festivals where dancers from different companies have a chance to interact, he said.
"(Here) you can have a real connection with other companies and dancers," Brdnik said. "It's really wonderful being among friends from other companies and seeing what other choreographers and companies are doing."
On Monday evening, Martha Graham dancers premiered Doug Verone's "Lamentation Variation." Choreographed in 1930, "Lamentation" is one of Graham's groundbreaking solo pieces, known for its somber tone: "It is a piece that deals with grief," Brdnik said. In recent years, the company's artistic director has asked modern choreographers to re-imagine the piece.
"We were curious to see how the audience would respond," Brdnik said, "especially knowing how enthusiastic people are about ballet up here. The piece is very modern, but as our colleagues told us, the audience was completely quiet. The reception was wonderful. We could feel the energy from the audience and that really helped make it a better experience."
On Wednesday morning, when the Vail Daily caught up with Brdnik, he was preparing for a full technical rehearsal at the Ford Amphitheater, which he said would be the true test of how or if the altitude will effect him tonight when he takes the stage. Three of Martha Graham's master works will be performed tonight. Brdnik will dance in two of the three pieces, including "Appalachian Spring" and "Embattled Garden." The third and final piece includes the politically-charged "Chronicle," an all-female piece that "addresses the war (WWII) itself and what war leaves in its wake." Brdnik said it's not only his favorite dance of the evening, but his connection to it made him want to be a member of the Martha Graham Dance Company in the first place.
"The sheer power of women's bodies and the determination to make a difference is what really attracted me to join this company," he said. "And I'm well aware that I will never actually perform in it."
For people who have yet to see the Martha Graham Dance Company perform, Brdnik describes it as "classical modern dance," he said.
Graham, who danced and choreographed for more than 70 years, was ahead of her time in many ways.
"She created a language that is now being adopted by the newer crop of choreographers," he said.
While the purpose of ballet "was to create a layer between the floor and the air," according to Brdnik, Martha Graham was very interested in how dancers connect with the floor.
"She was also interested in how the body responds ... to the emotional content we carry," he said. "The movement in Graham's works is not pretty, it's really visceral and presents what we feel. So the audience is not only satisfied visually, as it's very athletic, but it also touches on emotional content."
Even though the three dances being presented tonight are classic Martha Graham, the feelings they evoke each time they are performed never get old, even for dancers like Brdnik.

Live Interview from the 2008 BIO International Convention
Biopharm: The adoption and acceptance of disposable biorocessing equipment today seems to be growing. What approach are most companies taking? Are they mostly using disposables in new processes or are they integrating them into existing processes?
Morris: There are a couple of areas that have to be considered. One in particular is that if you have got an existing system in place that is constructed of stainless steel, most likely that will require steam sterilization, so some of your connector technologies to integrate will have to be different. It will have to be able to take that pressure, steam, and heat that it would be subjected to. So some of the connectology will have to be different as well as the design of construction in general.
BioPharm: What do you think is the biggest hurdle that most companies face when considering a transition to disposables?
Morris: I think one of the most challenging points is just the approach to validation because it is different than stainless steel. For stainless steel you have got steam sterilization, which most companies are familiar with. And with single-use technologies, typically what you would see is gamma irradiation, something that suppliers are taking responsibility for. So the validation approach is different. Another topic would be extractables and leachables. That's more of a concern with the plastic technologies that are being used in single-use versus stainless-steel systems.
BioPharm: Is standardization an issue in terms of material for construction or things like the size compatibility of connectors?
Morris: Well, I would say that in terms of materials of construction, historically, if you look at filters, mostly the same base materials are present in a variety of different configurations. The films of bags tend to mostly be of a similar construction also. So there is some more standardization that I have seen over the years. Connectors are one that, again it depends on that duty cycle; if it is going to be steam sterilized, your construction materials will be different than if you are doing irradiation.
BioPharm: How are biopharmaceutical manufacturers handling the disposal of disposables? Has anyone measured the environmental impact at all?
Morris: There have been some presentations that I have seen recently at the IBC conference a couple of weeks ago, where there was a presentation from, I believe it was Genentech, that spoke about this issue. So there are some companies that are evaluating it. There are also some guidance documents that the Bioprocess Systems Alliance (BPSA) has provided to give some general guidelines on how customers can consider disposing of those components. I think it's an issue that will come up more and more, but you have to also weigh that with the energy consumption for producing WFI and also the water usage. So really the balance is how does the disposal question fit into the benefits you can receive, the savings on energy consumption.

The new dock icon is a little large (noticeably larger than the other icons in my dock) but it is a cool GTD app.
i switched back to the version before, because the icons at the moment are distracting the focus i'm searching with a GTD application. perhaps i may chose if to you or not at a later point though.
Just gave iGTD a shot after reading the comments here, and what can I say? It rocks. Great little app, I hope it wonât get more complicated with time but stays focussed on, ahaha, the task.
The world's a better place with people like Bartek. Really responsive to feedback on the app - and a great app it is too. I'm sure there are many more good things to come.
Great start!
Very useful and very simple to use.
I'll keep an eye for the evolution of iGTD.
Looking very promising! I wish the sync'ing part was optional, though. And the application icon shouldn't look like a folder.
Will keep an eye out for this one.
Very nice app - imo it could be more polished, but it does the job well!
Interesting thing is that the author of this app is owning mac from about 2 months and this piece of software is his actually first one built in cocoa! (he writes about it on his blog which is unfortunately only in Polish, so I bring this fact here)
I am afraid to think what could come next after such start!
Great job Bartek - I am waiting for more

Engineering how mosquitos smell
Athens – A EUR2.5m EU research project targeting olfaction in the malaria carrier Anopheles gambiae is to be coordinated by Greek researchers from the Institute of Biology at the Demokritos National Centre of Scientific Research in Athens. The ENAROMaTIC network of 10 research groups and the firms Inscent, Inc. and Neuroproof GmbH, along with pharmaceutical chemists from the National Hellenic Research Foundation, aims to limit the spread of malaria by lowering the insect's capability to detect humans by smell. Female mosquitoes hone in on humans in the environment with the help of an odorant receptor (AgOr) repertoire in their antennae. The mechanisms used by Anopheles to detect smells will be studied within the ENAROMaTIC project, and new natural and synthetic inhibitors of the insect's olfaction will be tested in Africa. The overall aim of the project is to reduce the frequency of bites, and thus transmission of the malaria agent from the mosquitoes. In February, the concept received strong support from the results of a US study when researchers from Yale University identified a dozen Anopheles odorant receptors that appear to be useful targets for controlling the transmission of malaria (Nature, doi:10.1038/nature08834).

A Day in the Life: Volunteering at Autism Speaks' Celebrity Golf Challenge
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a rising senior at Seton Hall University, majoring in Sports Management.
One may ask what someone does after volunteering from about six in the morning to 10 at night. Does one take a shower, go to sleep, get some food, OR in some rare cases, write a blog about the day's events? If you chose the latter, you were correct and win the glorious prize of knowing there are completely loopy people like me in this world. (Don't believe me; I just used the word loopy in a sentence.)
On Monday, June 28, Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York hosted the 12th Annual Autism Speaks Celebrity Golf Challenge. I had the opportunity to volunteer to help run the event with Autism Speaks, and as a true golf enthusiast, I felt very privileged and excited, to say the least!
The day's events were simply astonishing, whether it was the swarms of celebrities (some with inflated handicaps and some without) or the continuing use of huge advancements in the world of technology, such as Bid Pal (a device similar to an iPhone that helps auctioneers place bids on numbered items during auctions) and eGolfScore devices (handheld wireless scoring devices updating golf scores up to the second for standings and updates). All celebrities in attendance were teamed up with groups of golfers to play in the events. The event also featured a live and silent auction in the evening with quite a few great items up for grabs.
The golf events from the day were joyous for the most part; however, an interesting sight to see was in the late afternoon when it started raining and several golf groups kept playing. Whether it was based on the fact that it was Autism Speaks' event or not didn't matter; people were enjoying their day and it was great to see.
The most heartfelt event of the day for me occurred during the evening dinner program where Kevin J. Murray, The event and committee co-chair spoke about autism and how it had impacted not only his son, but his family's lives around him. This was during a very funny transitional period where Autism Speaks and Winged Foot debuted a video that was shot throughout the golf events of the day. The video included a spoof of the movie "Caddyshack" (I chuckled more than once and am laughing while typing this out as well in memory). Kevin probably said it best when he said, "This video we are about to see truly captures the feeling of today" and it did: fun, eventful and timeless.
Suzanne and Bob Wright, The honorary co-chairs who were also in attendance, spoke during the evening dinner program and showed once again how effective and powerful they are when it comes to public speaking. Suzanne Wright, who quoted Michelangelo, said, "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." This was symbolic to Autism Speaks' dedication to help with autism put together the puzzle, piece-by-piece.
Special thanks go out to all the celebrities who attended, the golfers who played and made donations to Autism Speaks, and also the to the staff members and volunteers whose fabulous work made the day run smoothly for everyone.

Hi Guys,
Well done on putting this event on. I live just outside london in the UK and I am going to put on a seminar about Autistic Adults at the end of this year or in Spring 2010 at the latest. My younger brother is 28 and has aspergers syndrome and I am a Chiropractor. Over the years we have been continually frustrated by the lack of info and training out there to help practitioners/trainers/carers with autistic adults as all of the seminars out there are aimed at helping autistic children! So far I haven't had any joy getting the guys behind the Sunrise Program on board or Judith Bluestone (Founder of Handle).
The event I am putting on will be to raise money for various Autistic Charities and was wondering if Kerry would be interested in maybe speaking at the gig? I only found this site today and it looks very interesting indeed. Cheers. Chat soon

Thank you for everything you are doing to get the word out. I dont believe people realize how your life changes when you have a child with ASD. In fact i received an email frm a girl i went to high school with on a website for our high school. i had told her all about vinnie and when she replyed she said" i know alot of children with autisim" I know her very well and she has 4 healthy children and i do know she does not know anything at all about having a child with autisim. Our lives changed in a way we never thought it would. we have 4 older children 35yr,33yr,31yr,19yrs old None of them ever bothered to take the time to know their brother let alone be able to care for him. I am so grateful for this website and for the people who volunteer and blog about it!! thank you and God Bless All Of You Lisa

Hi all,
I've begun ripping most of my DVDs w/ Handbrake (.9.3) using the default settings for 'PS3'. the files themselves will play on the PS3 just fine if i copy to the hard drive or play off a USB keychain, however, i'm never able to successfully play these files via PS3 Media Server. I know that PS3MS is working because i can still watch older vids i ripped a long time ago (.mpg, .wmv) etc.
I've got PS3MS set at default settings, so i'm unsure what to do next. I've heard many have great success with this software, so i'm hoping i can join the crowd. i'm very new to understanding transcoding and such (not even sure what it is).
are there any step-by-step tutorials for someone like me?
any help is appreciated!

EIA: New Energy Act to Yield More Renewable Energy by 2020
The U.S. outlook for the growth in renewable energy use by 2020 has improved considerably in just three months, thanks to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which President Bush signed into law in December. DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA) is revising the early release of its Annual Energy Outlook to reflect the impact of the energy act, and the latest figures show renewable energy providing 13.7 quadrillion Btu (quads) of energy by 2030, up 12% from the 12.2 quads that EIA projected back in December. For comparison, the total U.S. energy use was 99.5 quads in 2006 and is expected to increase to 118 quads by 2030. That number is 5% lower than the EIA projected in December (123.8 quads), reflecting the impact of improved fuel economy standards and new product efficiency standards.
The new projections show biomass energy use increasing to 8.12 quads by 2030, nearly triple the biomass use in 2006 and a 47% increase over the December projections, reflecting significant growth in renewable fuels. But the projections for biomass power production are less optimistic, increasing by a factor of 7.5 by 2030, compared to a ninefold increase in the December projections. The difference probably reflects the need to direct biomass towards fuel production, making less available for power production. Perhaps in compensation for that, the projections for geothermal power production are more optimistic in the revised analysis, showing it more than doubling by 2030, compared to only an 88.4% increase in the December projections. The other renewable electricity projections remain essentially the same. See the Tables A1, A16, and A17 from the EIA report (PDF 164 KB), and for comparison, see the December 19 article from this newsletter. Download Adobe Reader.

When It Comes To The Outlaw Series Don't Let Size Fool You
New for 2003 is a revised entry to the affordable performance boat market. Providing speed, comfort and gobs of fun is Baja's 25 Outlaw. This single engine go-fast machine gives you all the thrill of a big offshore boat at a fraction of the cost. The looks and appeal of Baja's bigger Outlaw series of boats is carried right down to this little brother.
Everything on this boat shouts performance, from the classic lines of the flat deck and transom to the optional, tubular aluminum swim platform. A racing inspired bow rail runs down the centerline of the bow and is flanked by large Bomar hatches that provide light and ventilation into the cabin below. A small, but helpful, clear Plexiglas dash fairing deflects some of the wind during those wide-open speed runs.
The cockpit and helm designs are also carried over from the larger Outlaws. This includes the "big number" Gaffrig gauges, and the zero-effort controls. The trim and tab switches are in easy reach of the controls, especially the thumb activated trim switch built into the throttle lever. Comfortable drop bottom bolster seats are standard on this boat, and really help keep you supported when the water gets rough. The high freeboard will help keep you and your friends dry when blasting through the water. Our test boat came equipped with the optional racing inspired aft bench seat with polished "hang on" handles for added security for your speed loving guests. Unfortunately this upgrade will soak up what little space you have in the 25's cockpit, but once you try it you'll have to have it!
Access to the cabin is through a sliding Plexiglas door, and what you'll find below deck will surprise you. Two couches flank a small V-berth and there is decent headroom in the cabin, even for us tall folks. Below the V-berth cushion, is a large stowage area that also houses a porta-potti, should you need to take care of business. The cabin décor is minimal but comfortable, and should be easy to keep clean.
As with all the Baja's, a traditional, non-stepped V-bottom design is used. This setup gives the 25 a sure-footed ride and nimble handling when carving turns and soaking up the bumps. While blasting around on the 25 Outlaw, the hull also felt very solid, with no squeaks or annoying rattles. She popped out of the hole and got on plane quickly.
Our test boat came equipped with the optional, single MerCruiser 496 HO Mag. and was coupled to a Bravo one drive turning a 15-½ in., three-blade stainless steel prop. We recorded a respectable top speed of 65 miles per hour and found acceleration and throttle response to be good for a 5,000-pound boat. I did feel that she could handle a bit more horsepower on the top end. Good thing Baja offers you several engine and drive packages for this boat, so don't let your wallet slow you down.
Fuel economy is good with the 425-horse power, 496 HO Mag. We found optimal cruise speed to be around 3500 rpm. This gave us around 41 mph while consuming a gallon of gas every two and a half miles. At this speed, you can go over 230 miles before refueling the 25 Outlaw's 95-gallon fuel tank.
Once you've decided on which boat and what engine package you want, the next step is deciding on the graphics scheme. Baja offers a variety of wild ways to personalize your Outlaw including the Baja Custom Shop. The custom shop allows you to customize your speed machine with an almost endless choice of upgrades to make your boat as individual as you are. So grab your checkbook and go have some fun!

Program 1: Full-length
Total running time: 2 hours 13 minutes, one intermission
Giselle – the great romantic ballet returns!
The 2014 season opens with Helgi Tomasson's spectacular production of Giselle, the heartbreaking tale of a peasant girl with a fragile heart and a passion for dancing. One of the greatest romantic ballets in the classical repertory, this magnificent production takes audiences on an unforgettable journey, from joyous celebrations in a Rhineland village to a lush forest glade, with its troupes of ethereal "Wili's" (the spirits of young maidens who must spend eternity dancing away each night until dawn). Upon its premiere, The New York Times said, "Watching San Francisco Ballet's Giselle, I marveled more than ever at what a haven of classical style this company has become."

Jeff Davis/The Capital-Journal
Jeff Davis/The Capital-Journal
TOPEKA, Kan. � A state law being used by Kansas officials trying to force a sperm donor to pay child support is outdated, the man�s attorney argues. But experts agree that he put himself in a precarious legal position by getting involved in a lesbian couple�s do-it-yourself artificial insemination.
Kansas law says that a sperm donor is not the father of a child if a doctor handles the artificial insemination. But the law does not specifically address the donor�s rights and obligations when no doctor was involved.
That was the case in 2009, when William Marotta answered an online ad for a sperm donation for Angela Bauer and her then-partner, Jennifer Schreiner. The three signed an agreement that they believed severed Marotta�s parental rights, and Schreiner became pregnant.
But because they didn�t go through a doctor, the state argues, Marotta is the legal father and should be responsible for about $6,000 in public assistance Schreiner received to help care for the child. The state also wants him to pay child support, though neither woman is asking for money.
�I don�t fault the state for this,� said Corey Whelan, who runs workshops for lesbian couples interested in having children through the American Fertility Association. �I don�t think this is a homophobic issue. I think this is a financially driven issue.�
Whelan said her group has a long-standing practice of advising single women who want a child to work with doctors and attorneys. She said avoiding professionals is �a buyer-beware proposition.�
But money can be a factor. Artificial insemination generally isn�t covered by health insurance and usually costs between $2,000 and $3,000, said Steve Snyder, a Minnesota-based attorney and chairman of the American Bar Association�s group on assisted reproduction technology.
�It is happening a lot,� Snyder said. �Go on amazon.com, home insemination kit, $29.95. A lot of LGBT couples use them. I have a lot of cases involving those types of kits or people who intend to use them.�
That sets up a tricky legal situation, said Dr. Ajay Nangia, the former ethics chairman of the American Society of Andrology, a national medical group for male-reproductive health.
�The problem is the guy exposed himself to a situation that made him potentially liable because he had no legal protection,� said Nangia, an associate professor of urology at the University of Kansas Hospital.
Still, Ben Swinnen, one of Marotta�s attorneys, said his 46-year-old client cannot be declared the father of the now 3-year-old child because of the written agreement with the two women. Nine states have laws saying a donor is not the parent of a child conceived through artificial reproduction.
�The state of Kansas is lagging behind in following the trend,� he said. �It is a freeze, in my opinion, on artificial insemination and alternative family settings.�
He also believes that state officials� pursuit of Marotta�s case in Kansas, where voters approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in 2005, is designed to reinforce the definition of a family as a married man and woman, and their children. He said the state is trying to send a message that, �anything else is no good.�
But the Kansas Department for Children and Families, which started pursuing Marotta in October, argued in a court filing Wednesday that at least 10 other states require a doctor�s involvement in artificial insemination for a sperm donor to be protected from having to pay child support.
�It�s a common-sense law,� said Washington state-based attorney Mark Demaray, a past president of an organization for attorneys who handle assisted reproduction legal issues. �It�s very common for them to have to go through a doctor�s office and get a sworn statement from the doctor that he or she performed this procedure.�
Marotta is trying to get the case dismissed. A hearing originally scheduled for Tuesday in Shawnee County District Court has been delayed until April.
Bauer and Schreiner have told The Topeka Capital-Journal that they�re backing Marotta in his fight. The Associated Press left a phone message Thursday at a number listed for Schreiner, and she didn�t respond to a Facebook message. Listings for Bauer were incorrect or out of service.
A spokeswoman with the Department for Children and Families said earlier this week that the agency routinely tries to track down the biological father when a single mother seeks public benefits for a child, as Schreiner did in January 2012, and require him to pay child support.
The effort, the state says, is to potentially lessen the burden on taxpayers. Officials in Gov. Sam Brownback�s administration declined further comment Thursday about Marotta�s case.
It wasn�t immediately clear Thursday whether other states have pursued sperm donors for child support. However, lawsuits have been filed in cases where mothers seek support from donors.
Last year, a state appeals court in California sided with a Texas man who was sued for child support by the mother of two children conceived from his sperm donation. In New Mexico, a state appeals court in 2008 ruled against a sperm donor who saw the children regularly and had agreed to pay some child support but didn�t want the amount increased.
In 2002, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws suggested that states have laws specifying that �a donor is not a parent of a child conceived by means of assisted reproduction� and that no donor could be sued to support the resulting child.
Kansas� law, enacted in 1994, was based on an earlier model law from the same Chicago-based group, but legislators haven�t revised it. The group�s website says the newer language has been enacted in nine states, including Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas.
�It was updated as science progressed,� said Eric Fish, legal counsel for the group. �It continues to progress more quickly than the law.�

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team (5-11, 1-2) snapped a string of 18 Southland Conference losses, capturing a 78-73 win over Southeastern Louisiana (5-10, 0-2) at the American Bank Center. The Islanders were propelled by three players in double-figure scoring in their first conference win of the season.
Senior Myeisha Myles powered the Islanders with her eighth double-figure scoring game with 18 points, including a perfect 4-of-4 from behind the line. Sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks tallied her sixth double-digit scoring game with a career-high 16 points, including a career-best five from behind the arc. Senior Zoe Vega-Vega led both teams on the boards with a career-high 15 boards and a career-best 15 points.
The Islanders shot 37.9 percent from the field (25-66), 42.1 percent from behind the arc (8-19) and 74.1 percent from the charity stripe (20-27). Southeastern Louisiana edged the Islanders on the boards 49-41 but the Islanders capitalized on 27 points off the Lady Lions 20 turnovers.
Southeastern Louisiana was paced by four players in double-figure scoring. Latoria Holder led the Lady Lions with 16, Jessica Sommers added 14 and Aja Gibson and Kelli Jenkins each added 12.
The Lady Lions jumped out to a 6-0 lead with back-to-back three-pointers from Holder and Myles made two free throws. The two teams traded buckets back-and-forth before the Islanders pulled ahead on a 5-0 run with a jumper by Vega-Vega and a three by junior Imani Dunn.
The Lady Lions clawed their way back on a 5-0 run at the 14:20 mark. Jessica Jammer hit her first jumper of the game before the Lady Lions tied it at 13. The Islanders notched the lead on back-to-back jumpers from junior Alisa Roberts and Jammer to give the Islanders a four-point lead. The Lady Lions evened the score at 21 on a 3-0 run. The Islanders padded their lead to nine with 4:40 to go on a 9-0 run. Freshman Trish Amboree triggered her first three-pointer of the game since the Southern Methodist game. Myles added a layup and Vega-Vega chipped in a jumper and two free throws to cap the run. After Southeastern Louisiana's Summer Postell made two free throws, Anderson-Sparks triggered her first of five made three-pointers of the game.
Southeastern Louisiana cut it to six with less than a minute left. Anderson-Sparks hit another three-pointer with three seconds left in the half. Holder made a layup and Jammer hit her third three-pointer of the season as time expired to pad the Islanders lead to 10 at the half.
Jammer led the Islanders into halftime with seven points and Vega-Vega led both teams on the glass with eight rebounds. The Islanders shot 38.9 (14-36) percent from the field. Holder led the Lady Lions with eight points including 2-of-4 from downtown. Southeastern Louisiana edged the Islanders on the glass 25-22.
The Lady Lions came out of the locker room on a 6-0 run with Gibson hitting all three of her shots. The Islanders answered with a 15-0 run, jumpstarted by Myles two free throws and Anderson-Sparks three-pointer. Myles hit three consecutive layups, junior Damequia Montgomery made a free throw and Anderson-Sparks hit another three-pointer to extend the Islanders lead to 19 with 13 minutes to play.
The two teams traded buckets back-and-fourth until the Lady Lions cut the lead to 10 with eight minutes to go on a 6-0 run. Southeastern Louisiana crawled their way back on a 12-5 run to cut the Islanders lead to three with four minutes to play. Vega-Vega's bucket gave the Islanders a 68-63 lead, but Sommers answered with back-to-back three's to give the Lady Lions their first lead since the 14:11 mark in the first half.
Southeastern Louisiana took a one-point lead with 1:50 left in the half until the Islanders answered with a 4-0 run behind Vega-Vega's layup and Myles two free throws. The Lady Lions trailed by one, 74-73, until the Islanders finished it with four free throws by Dunn, Taylor and Vega-Vega.
The Islanders will travel to UT Arlington on Wednesday, Jan. 18 to face the Mavericks. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.

The computer needs to transcode the file which takes CPU cycles. If the computer is being used, it can't transcode properly sometimes.
Next, the computer must send the data on to the router (or directly to the PS3 if set in AP mode) which requires a certain amount of bandwidth between the computer and router to maintain a smooth video. If wireless N, not a problem. Ensure the connection is fine between the two by checking the wireless signal strength at both ends (routers will sometimes have this status for you. If not, your router sucks and you should see if you can change the firmware to something more open source that will enhance its capabilities).
After that, the router is required to forward the packets that it received from the computer on to the PS3. Now, streaming will sometimes allow for some overhead (buffer) in case the connection gets congested. As it turns out, your connection isn't maintaining its buffer. So...
I recommend increasing the cache size in your PS3 Media Server settings. On top of that, ensure your system is defragmented. If that doesn't help, try directly connecting your computer to the router and see if it still happens. If so, we've absolutely eliminated the possibility of it being wifi (or wifi settings) related. If not, then it's probably wifi related.
I'm going to go take a cat nap now. >(-_-)< ~

Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Flown: Pirates of the Carabina
Bold and breathtaking, FLOWN is performed by a company of nine aerialists, riggers, dancers, singers and musicians aged between 19 and 67. They invite us to share in the thrills, spills and physical feats which define the life of a world-class circus entertainer. The problem is, the show is about to start and no-one is prepared.
Disagreements and disasters threaten to splinter the professional facade of this dazzling troupe. The world turns upside down with swinging drum kits, flying ironing boards and a foot-stamping diva - all to a live soundtrack of punky guitars, folksy accordion and indie vocals.
Pirates of the Carabina
An emerging cutting-edge company of British and international circus artists, who have worked with De La Guarda and Footsbarn Theatre.

This is surreal.
Eyedea was hugely inspirational.
He was easily one of the coolest dudes I've ever met in this scene.
I've met him a handful of times and even had the pleasure of playing a show with him, though I never got to really know him. But the first time I met him is a favorite of mine.
One of the first underground shows I ever saw was Eyedea. Back then, I didn't have a great internet connection and a lot of the material that was handed to me was on burned CDs, so I had no idea what he looked like. I was wandering on Girard Avenue in Philadephia looking for the venue he was performing at and actually ended up asking some guy for directions. He said it was a few blocks down the street.
It wasn't.
I wandered back, thinking "That guy was an asshole."
When Eyedea took the stage that night, I realized he was the "asshole" who gave me the wrong directions. It was hilarious and his apology to me at the merch table made it even greater. The fact he remembered me because of this event years later really gave me the impression he was something special. And getting to open up for him and have him compliment my music pretty much fulfilled a dream I had since High School. Even if I was too busy acting cool to say so.
RIP Eyedea.
Thank you.

As I sit and watch the BET awards, I can't help but wonder why we still have some of these non-talent whack-ass MC's, but lost Eyedea today. Life's not fair.
Not wishing death on anyone; just today feels unbalanced.

What the hell? When I first started getting into the underground scene, I started listening to Eyedea and Abilities. I thought Eyedea was an amazing emcee who was able to tell these wonderful stories and could write a song destroying his competition in the next one.
This is unbelievable.

This hit me like a fist to the face today.
Mike was someone I looked up to as I was first getting into music on my own and, upon finding out we were about the same age, gave me something to strive for thinking, "if he can do it at that point in his life, so can i." Later on he oddly and randomly became a huge supporter of the stuff I was doing and we carried on a conversation via a single myspace msg we kept building on, until I chose not to respond about a year ago as I was going through my own shit in dealing with not having "music as my base." I'd recently found myself thinking what he was up to, and wondering how to reconnect in responding to his last msg...too little too fucking late now I guess.
I can at least find contentment in knowing that he's finally and forever at peace. And I wish the best for his fam, fans and friends knowing that, together, they'll get through this terrible tragedy.
RIP Mike Larsen, you'll be forever missed.

wow. This definitely sucks. I discovered eyede right around the same time I started listening to sage. I have so many memories driving around with his music playing. I didn't like everything he did, but everything was worth checking out because he had the potential to blow you away at any moment

It's really dope to see that you'll be visiting the country that hosts my birthpace. I was actually born in Pula, Croatia but Zagreb is Croatia's capital. You're also going to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. You're hitting up 2 former Yugoslav countries in one tour-im envious. Have a good time and say hello to my uncle Sefik. peace.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Head Women's Basketball Coach Royce Chadwick has announced the hiring of Roxanne White as the program's Associate Head Coach. White served on Chadwick's staffs at Marshall and Stephen F. Austin prior to joining him at the Island University.
"Roxanne has been a key member of my women's basketball staffs for the last 16 years," Chadwick said. "She is a relentless recruiter, an outstanding evaluator of talent and a coach who makes the most of the talented players she brings in. But perhaps best of all, her connections in this state will help us compete with anyone for the best prospects in the area. She will be a tremendous asset to our family at Texas A&M – Corpus Christi."
White was Marshall's recruiting coordinator for all 11 years she was at the school and was the associate head coach for 10 of those seasons. The Stephen F. Austin alumna was an assistant for Chadwick for five years at SFA and also spent a year with Texas A&M.
"Royce Chadwick is one of the most respected coaches in women's college basketball and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to continue working with him," White said. "I've always wanted to return to the state of Texas, and to be able to be at an outstanding university with a beautiful campus and great facilities – this is a perfect situation. I couldn't be happier to be an Islander."
White worked with the guards while at Marshall and the results were easily evident. Sikeetha Shepard-Hall, a White recruit from Houston, finished her illustrious career as Marshall's third all-time leading scorer with over 1,600 points. One of Marshall's all-time greats, Shepard-Hall ranks in the school's top-10 in several categories including No. 1 in 3-pointers made and attempted and was named All-Conference USA in each of her four with the Herd.
Later in her tenure, Casey Baker and Kizzy Hart shined for the Herd. Baker, a member of the C-USA All-Defensive Team, led the conference in steals in 2007-08 while finishing in the top ten in C-USA in assists and assist/turnover ratio. Hart led MU in scoring while ranking in the top 10 in the league. White has also helped make the transition to Division I basketball for junior college players seamless, as several transfers such as Reshundra Smiley and Bridget Chacon saw immediate success in the Marshall system.
In her first two seasons as Marshall's recruiting coordinator, White helped land back-to-back top-50 recruiting classes, according to the Blue Star Report and All-Star Girls Report, two prominent women's basketball recruiting publications. Her history of effective recruiting practices can be drawn as far back as her early coaching days with Stephen F. Austin, as the Blue Star Report honored her efforts with the 17th-ranked recruiting class in 1998 and the 22nd-ranked class in 1999.
White's experience with recruiting is extensive, as are the number of blue-chip prospects signed under her watch. She signed the MVP of the NJCAA Tournament in 2000 and two NJCAA Kodak All-Americans in 1998 and 2000, respectively. In her first signing period at Marshall, White inked Ida Dotson, a two-time NJCAA Kodak All-American and a 2002-03 preseason all-MAC East selection.
White spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Stephen F. Austin, where she worked as the recruiting, academic and summer camp coordinator for the Ladyjacks. During her tenure at SFA, White helped sign two nationally-ranked recruiting classes and coached two Southland Conference Players of the Year. The Ladyjacks were ranked in the AP and USA Today Top-25 in 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000, while making the NCAA Tournament every year from 1996-2001.
During the 1995-96 season, White served as an administrative assistant for the women's basketball program at Texas A&M. Her duties included public relations, marketing and travel coordination for the Aggies. She served as a restricted earnings coach under Chadwick during his first season at SFA (1994-95).
White excelled as a point guard at SFA from 1991 to 1994. During her career she helped the Ladyjacks to four NCAA Tournament appearances (including two Sweet 16 berths), won four Southland Conference regular season and tournament championships and helped SFA compile a four-year record of 105-20.
A native of Zwolle, La., White earned a bachelor's degree in communications from Stephen F. Austin in 1994 and a master's degree in secondary education with an emphasis in communications from SFA in 2000.

Hutton is useless
Jenas not up to it
Bale-Southampton did well getting rid of him
at least we know if we are to do anything to challenge the top 4 at any stage, we cannot afford to have players like this playing for our first team ..FACT ....Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Add the fact that he's from a strong family and just had a baby, I think/hope he'll be around for a couple more seasons. He's not at his peak yet, he's only 23 and not fully mature. I also think he likes the way AVB plays him.
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Feb 10, 2013 17:43 Flag
He's signed until 2016, I don't think we need to worry about it for a bit.
Been following today's football on the BBC site, they started the day with a poll on who'd be champions/top 4/relegated - we were consistently in the top 4 predictions, but a fair few of them were citing us as second/biggest worry to man u/contenders for next year, and I'm fairly confident most of them weren't spurs fans.
I have my own thoughts on where we could finish, don't want to ut them into words yet in case of jinxing us, but it's nice to see that other teams see us as a threat. If they're even half right I don't see Bale going abroad for a while, the possibilities with us will be too tasty.
I know alan. but I come to expect any world class player at spurs to leave. I don't blame them. they can double their money & actually compete for titles.
bale should be at a much better club than ours.
but I'm just enjoying every minute of him being here.
when he does go, we will get a huge amount for him.
this can then go towards a new stadium or on 3 very good players.
so its a win win. id rather keep him of course. but he deserves to be a club like Madrid or barca.
id like to see him go & play in la liga.
we need more british players abroad.
id also like to see Wilshire go to either barca or Madrid too.
You've got a problem on your hands, Babe, at Spurs. Whatever varying opinions say, the guy for me is world class and there's no doubt about it. He's about 24 isn't he, his confidence level is now sky high. He knows he can go past people with brilliant close ball control and strength. I wouldn't wager on him being with you for much longer---and that's no disrespect.
I get a lot wrong. but im very proud of saying all along from the very beginning that bale should not be played at LB & that he should be moved to LW where he would excel!
Can't admit when you are on shaky ground. Says it all.
if u actually read my posts i said i rate bale as a left winger, not a LB.
also the only diff between bales mistake & corlukas is that corluka would have just fouled him & hope we dont concede from the free kick.
if corluka so great im sure a top 4 team might want to buy him off us. hang on a minute, no one would touch him with a barge pole. even man city knew he wasnt up to it.

Bale is still young and learning his trade although he has taken a step back......i think it would do him good and for spurs to send him out on loan to get regular football.

I can't recall him doing do much wrong anyway, and he got forward well with some telling runs and crosses.

Harry said there was a lack of atmosphere, lets face it OT is quite quiet at times. im guessing that not many yids made the trip? Im not sure, but anyhow it could of contributed towards the teams lack of inspiration and appearance of a practice match.
Overall though I'm pleased to announce that and by public demand that Jenas is offically shit.

agree with sash 100%.
i think harrys attitude to the game seemed to rub off on our poor performance & lack of team spirit.
i know a lot of u including el tel thought we were the better team & man u werent that good. but to me it looked like man utd were just coasting, taking it easy & knowing they would win what ever.
man u were very sloppy & were their for the taking but we didnt take advantage.
do u really think of we played like that against man utds starting 11 we would win?
basically we lost to a man u fringe team who didnt play very well & coasted in 1st gear through out.
agreed that at least a young11 would have been more hungrier then the likes of jenas & bentley picking up there 50grand a wk for strolling round the pitch.
jenas,bentley & hutton have to go in jan.
Agree completely with "let's put the kids out there and lose 4-0" concept.
