MORAGA -- The punishment meted out to the Saint Mary's College men's basketball program Friday could have been worse, though not by much.
Saint Mary's can still play in the NCAA tournament, if invited, but its future success was cast into doubt by scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and numerous other sanctions in what amounts to the greatest breach of NCAA rules by a Bay Area team since Cal was rocked by scandal in the mid-1990s.
An NCAA investigation found Saint Mary's guilty of attempting to lure recruits with extra benefits, allowing players to partake in unsanctioned practice sessions and failing to respond to red flags raised by others about potential violations.
"We've had some great moments here at Saint Mary's, a lot of great moments. ... This isn't one of them," coach Randy Bennett said Friday.
Bennett, the architect of Saint Mary's rise to prominence, was singled out by the NCAA's Committee on Infractions for failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance and to properly monitor a former assistant coach. Both are among the most serious charges the NCAA can levy against a head coach.
As a result, Bennett has been suspended for the first five West Coast Conference games of next season.
"I'm not proud of it," said Bennett, 50, who is completing his 12th season in Moraga. "We're not perfect. I'm not perfect."
Bennett's afternoon news conference carried a markedly different tone than a statement released by the school earlier in the day, in which he called the penalties "clearly excessive" and vowed to "consider my options."
The Gaels have 15 days to appeal.
"I personally believe some of the penalties were harsh," Saint Mary's athletic director Mark Orr said. "We've got to take some time and evaluate that."
The NCAA's investigation, which began in the summer of 2010, determined that Saint Mary's:
"We are certainly disappointed at the final outcome. But as an alum, as president and someone who supports our athletic program, I'm also proud of what we've been able to accomplish," said Brother Ronald Gallagher, Saint Mary's president, in a statement. "We've been fully cooperative with the NCAA and we will continue to be. I'm proud of the integrity and commitment of our staff and Randy Bennett as our coach."
The recruiting violations involved Keith Moss, who was employed by Saint Mary's as an assistant coach and director of basketball operations in 2008-09.
Moss, who lives in Roseville, was charged with unethical conduct. He plans to appeal the ruling.
"I look forward to my appeal and showing the majority of the reported violations occurred after I left Saint Mary's," he said.
Saint Mary's rise to prominence under Bennett has been fueled by elite Australian players like Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova.
But Orr said the three recruits involved in the most serious transgressions were from France and that none of them officially visited, applied to or attended Saint Mary's.
"All the major infractions that are in the report, none involve Australian athletes, current or former," Orr said. "Secondary violations do include Australian student-athletes as well as other student-athletes."
Orr added that the school has already taken corrective actions, including the addition of a second full-time staff member devoted to NCAA compliance.
"I am confident that we are a stronger institution," he said. "Coach Bennett understands Saint Mary's strong commitment to NCAA rules compliance, and we will continue to work with him to ensure that compliance remains paramount."
Bennett and school officials appeared before the NCAA on Dec. 14 to address the allegations of infractions. NCAA official Greg Sankey said Friday that Bennett "was candid and fully responsive."
Bennett agreed with all but one of the NCAA's findings. He disputes the conclusion that he failed to adequately monitor Moss.
In 1996, Cal coach Todd Bozeman was forced to resign after he admitted to paying $30,000 to the parents of a player so they could travel to watch him play.
In a statement posted on its website, the West Coast Conference agreed with the NCAA's findings.
"Clearly mistakes were made and those violations are in direct conflict with our conference's values and beliefs, including our commitment to NCAA compliance," said Jamie Zaninovich, commissioner of the WCC.
The penalties will affect Saint Mary's on multiple fronts.
The loss of two scholarships in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons will undermine its depth.
Bennett's ban from recruiting off campus in 2013-14 will hamper the team's ability to sign top players.
A multiyear ban on participating in in-season tournaments could hurt Saint Mary's strength of schedule and, consequently, its chances to earn NCAA tournament at-large bids.
"I feel confident we'll work through it," Bennett said. "It's not going to be easy. It's a hole we put ourselves in, and we're going to have to work our way out."
Staff writers Jeff Faraudo and Elliott Almond contributed to this report.

Most of us think we know what we need in life, but do we really?
In 1943, Abraham Maslow published the paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" detailing his theory about the hierarchy of human needs, which he put into five categories:
1. Physiological needs - breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis and excretion.
2. Safety needs - security of body, employment resources, morality, the family, health and property.
3. Loving-belonging needs - friendship, family, sexual intimacy.
4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, respect by others.
5. Self-actualization needs - morality, creativity, spontaneity, problem solving, lack of prejudice, acceptance of facts.
Most of us have seen these at some point in our lives, probably in a science or psychology class or other academic situation. But aside from the obvious - the need to breathe, for food and water, etc. - I have never been able to apply these needs to everyday life in any meaningful way.
Then a week ago I came across a discourse about "vital needs" - those things that are vital to our enjoyment of daily life, including our jobs, family, friends and individual pursuits.
For example, if a person's vital needs aren't met on the job, then they're not likely to be very productive from 9 to 5.
At the same time, meeting vital needs is critically important when dealing with the daily stresses in our lives.
The more of our vital needs that are met, the better we can effectively deal with life's stresses.
With the above in mind, here's an exercise that you may find revealing:
Below is a list of 25 "vital needs" (there may be more, but for our purposes here let's stick with these.) First, read the list, and then take a few minutes to rank them in order of importance in your life.
If you're like the majority of people, you'll find the first seven are absolutely essential to your well-being and reducing stress, while the last seven could almost be in any order and would make very little difference in our lives.
After arranging them, write down two ways you can get each of your vital needs met, and then share your notes with those important or close to you. Knowing another person's vital needs is essential to creating harmonious relationships. Most people find it particularly enlightening when they do this exercise with their spouse or significant other and with their children.
As an aside, managers would be wise to learn and understand the vital needs of their employees because armed with such information, the employer would likely increase productivity, reduce workplace accidents and attract high-performing workers.
1. Personal time - time to do your own thing. Pursue a hobby, read, shop, fish, ski or whatever.
2. The need to give and do for others - family, community, church.
3. Recognition - from work, family or community.
4. Movement - a daily need for walking, sports or exercise.
5. Sleep - your day does not go right unless you get a certain amount of sleep.
6. Approval and acceptance - from family, coworkers or friends.
7. Order and closure - you dislike open-ended situations, tasks, affairs, projects or goals and want things in your life orderly.
8. Time alone - a daily time for reflection and thought while alone.
9. Territory - an area of physical space that is your own.
10. Financial security - income and outgo must be in balance, having enough money that you need not worry about it.
11. Being with people - high need for relationships.
12. Competition - with self, others, in sports.
13. Learning something - acquiring new information that's stimulating and exciting.
14. Anticipation - looking forward to something such as taking trips.
15. Listening to music - through mechanical means or playing an instrument.
16. Having a project - being creatively involved with ideas.
17. Touching - physical contact with others.
18. Variety of experience - need for something new and different.
19. Structured time - schedule and routine are important.
20. Unstructured time - you do not like structure and routine.
21. One-on-one attention - a preference and desire for one-on-one relationships.
22. Group relationships - need for interaction with groups rather than one person.
23. Empathy - you need people important to you to understand what you are feeling.
24. Humor - need to laugh.
25. Spirituality - pursue beliefs through meditation or fellowship with other individuals.

TRACY - The Tracy Police Department arrested a man wanted in connection with a home invasion robbery early Thursday after a dangerous pursuit and an hours-long standoff with SWAT team officers, authorities said.
Derrick Martin, 42, was arrested on suspicion of hit and run, evading police, kidnapping, robbery and battery with serious bodily injury, police said.
Officers terminated the pursuit about 4 p.m. Wednesday because of Martin's erratic driving and traffic conditions on Tracy Boulevard, authorities said. They found him an hour later at a home in the 1400 block of Oak Street. Martin refused to come out, but officers obtained a search warrant for the home and took him into custody about 1 a.m. Thursday.
Francisco Gonzalez, a 31-year-old parolee at large, also was arrested at the home, police said.

Michelle Obama: 'hard choices' needed on guns
WORK TO DO–First lady Michelle Obama exercises with children from Chicago Public Schools, in her hometown of Chicago, Feb. 28. (AP Photo/M.

In 1996, Kathryn Lehman was a soon-to-be married lawyer working for Republicans in the House of Representatives. One of her major accomplishments: helping to write the law that bans federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
Today, Lehman, 53, no longer has a husband, and is no longer straight. And she is a lobbyist for Freedom to Marry, which is devoted to overturning the very law she helped write, the Defense of Marriage Act.
But Lehman is still a fervent Republican.
"I'm trying to break the stereotype that all gays and lesbians, especially lesbians, are Democrats," she said.
Although the Republican Party has long drawn gay men who believe in the party's message of small government and a muscular military, Republican lesbians are a rare political breed.
"Oh, we're like unicorns," said Erin Simpson, 51, who cites "personal liberty" as a fundamental value and teaches firearms safety in Tucson, Ariz. Simpson, who came out in February, was "very disheartened" by Mitt Romney's loss -- one fueled, in part, by overwhelming gay support for President Barack Obama.
There is no way to measure their true numbers, but gay activists say that in many cases, these "unicorns" were Republicans before they were gay -- driven by conservative upbringings, economic issues and libertarian principles. They often did not acknowledge their sexual orientation, even to themselves, until middle age.
In interviews, these Republicans say they often feel like the odd women out, in their party and among other lesbians.
But they are beginning to make their presence known, said Casey Pick, a program director and first woman on the staff of the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay-rights group.
"There is a presence of mature, established Republican women who are being more vocal of late," Pick said.
These women fear that they are losing the younger generations, who are coming out earlier, and are even more likely to identify with the Democratic Party now that Obama has embraced gay marriage. The election results, including victories for same-sex marriage advocates on ballot measures in four states, offered ammunition for Lehman when she talks to Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Lehman said last week that some conservatives had already begun saying to her, "'You know, it's not really worth pursuing a federal marriage amendment; this really should be left to the states.'"
"That is the more consistent conservative position," she added.

PARKERSBURG -If West Virginia University at Parkersburg is going to partner with the West Virginia Army National Guard to create a multipurpose facility, college officials need to come up with $9 million.
The WVU-Parkersburg Board of Governors got a first look at conceptual plans for the National Guard readiness center Wednesday evening. The project is a collaborative effort between the Guard and the college with Phase I to be the construction of a $13 million joint-use area.
The National Guard has a little more than $4 million available for the project. The college has to come up with more than $9 million.

This image shows a conceptual plan of the National Guard readiness center. The project is a collaborative effort between the Guard and the college with Phase I to be the construction of a $13 million joint-use area.
A capital campaign has been launched and officials are looking at a variety of ways to raise the money, Joe Campbell, a member of the board, said.
"The $9 million is the public portion," he said. "That's what we have to come up with here. That's our challenge."
The multi-use facility can serve as an event and convention center for the college, hosting athletic events, banquets and trade shows. It will also house kitchen and storage facilities and classrooms. The facility is projected to seat as many as 3,500 people and encompass almost 58,000 square feet.
The features represent the result of meetings held last year with various officials regarding wants and needs for such a facility in the area, Campbell said. The meetings sought input from anyone who might have use of the facility: school, tourism and economic development officials, Campbell said.
"We gathered up what they wanted and would like to see in a facility and then went back to the Guard and the architect," he said. "And that's where we came up with the designs."
Now school officials have to come up with the money.
It's unlikely the state will provide funding for the project given WVU-Parkersburg is facing a possible 7.5 percent reduction in state allocations this year, Campbell said.
Some money is set aside by the college, Campbell said. Bond options are also available to assist with funding and representatives also plan to meet with the Wood County Commission, he said.
Consultants have been hired to assist with the capital campaign, which has already engaged in a "silent" phase. The campaign won't be solely to fund the Guard project, Campbell said.
"This will also go for scholarships and building programs for the college itself," he said.
Project engineers will be on-site today to take core samples, Campbell said. The site preparation will be done shortly thereafter; however, construction on the facility won't start until 2014 provided the funding is in place.
"We won't do it on betting we will have it," Campbell said. "We will have to have it in hand. We realize we will have to raise it by capital campaign, reserves or bonding capacity. If we don't step up to the plate, we can't ask others to do that."

Zoe Saldana got married in secret.
I guess this gets me off the hook as far as sending a gift.
The "Star Trek" actress reportedly married Marco Perego in June in London, according to Us Weekly.
So ... what happened to Spock? Weren't they a thing?
"It was super small but very romantic and beautiful," a source told Us of the ceremony, which was attended by a few close friends and relatives who, apparently, are good at keeping their mouths shut.
The New Jersey-born actress and Italian artist, both 34, were first linked in mid-May when they were playing tonsil hockey after Saldana's "Star Trek Into Darkness" premiere in L.A.
An insider told Us the couple has "known each other for a long time." Another source said "They have great chemistry."
They'd better, since they got married and all.
Saldana had an on-again, off-again relationship with Bradley Cooper from 2011 to 2013. But things seem to be more stable with Perego. "Zoe's thrilled to have someone she can enjoy life with" an insider said.
The actress was once engaged to Keith Britton, the CEO of My Fashion Database, with whom she split in 2011 after 11 years together. Saldana spoke about wanting to start a family during an April 2012 appearance on Lifetime's "The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet."
"I'm Latin -- we start young, honey!" said Saldana, who has also starred in "Avatar," "Colombiana," and "Crossroads." "At 22 you're like, 'I just wanna hold something!' You want a little critter."
"I love the anxiety, the pressure of the loud room full of yapping kids. But I'm a kid myself," Saldana said. "I get along very well with animals and children. I dig them, I get them. They make perfect sense to me. A child makes perfect sense to me. A child speaks more sense than an adult half of the time."

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, said the supervisors can't redraw the districts and get federal government approval before Tuesday's qualifying deadline for candidates for county offices.
Madison County's population grew by about 20,000 people in the last 10 years, according to the 2010 census.
The lawsuit said some of the county's districts grew more than others, so redistricting is required.
Madison County resident and attorney John W. Robinson, III, is also a plaintiff in the suit.
The state, Madison County Circuit Clerk Lee Westbrook and the local Republican and Democratic executive committees are named as defendants.
The extension of the filing deadline may be something many counties need, because not much time was available from the time 2010 Census data was received and the Mar. 1 candidate qualifying deadline.
Mississippi's district lines have to be approved by the U.S. Department of Justice.

FREMONT -- As city leaders try to transform the streets around City Hall into a vibrant downtown, they first must change perceptions of the area. That's one of the goals of the Fremont Underground Social Experience, an art-themed event that will kick off in the heart of the city Saturday evening.
Inspired by similar street parties proven popular in San Jose and Oakland, Fremont's monthly series will mix culture, food and entertainment while transforming two empty storefronts into pop-up art galleries at the Town Fair Shopping Center.
It will be held in the heart of a 110-acre automobile-heavy zone that the city plans to turn into a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood by mixing new condominiums with shopping and eateries near public transit.
As those plans slowly take shape, the city-sponsored art series might spur people to begin seeing the evolving neighborhood as a destination, said Jessica von Borck, Fremont's downtown project manager. Also featuring music and food, the new series will spotlight local artists and their work, cultivating the city's cultural arts, von Borck said.
"We really want to highlight downtown as a place for people to connect with art and culture," she said. "In time, we hope this becomes a venue for artists and Fremont residents to meet."
The city has hired Cherri Lakey and Brian Eder of Two Fish Design to plan Fremont's series. The South Bay event-production company, which runs San Jose's monthly art nights, has tapped into its network of Bay Area artists for the event, Lakey said.
The monthly pop-up galleries will open from 6 to 10 p.m. on every third Saturday, through October. Those attending can buy art work in the storefronts-turned-galleries, enjoy music spun by a local DJ and eat from a food truck or nearby restaurants, Lakey said.
Last month, the city started Downtown Fremont Street Eats, a weekly convoy of gourmet food trucks parked on Capitol Avenue, about a block from Town Fair Shopping Center. City leaders also have invited the public to vote online for their favorite logo promoting downtown.
Saturday's event will be Fremont's most recent attempt to generate interest in the area. It also might add luster to the city's arts scene, said JoJo Perea, whose abstract paintings and drawings will be featured in the pop-up galleries.
"We're trying to bring a different flavor to Fremont," Perea said. "It's known for being quiet, but we're slowly waking up as a city. It's becoming colorful and vibrant and is forming its identity."
Contact Chris De Benedetti at 510-353-7011. Follow him at Twitter.com/cdebenedetti.
If you go
The Fremont Underground Social Experience will run from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday at 39112 State St., in the Town Fair Shopping Center parking lot. For details, go to www.fremont.gov.

Preserving Camp Pendleton's history
Much of enormous Marine installation is hidden from public view
CAMP PENDLETON By Col. Richard B. Rothwell, USMC
This is the first in a series of stories about the colorful history of Camp Pendleton presented by the Camp Pendleton Historical Society.
Almost everyone knows the massive base is there at Camp Pendleton, even if it is a bit puzzling. You can't miss it if you travel the 17 miles of Interstate 5 between Oceanside and San Clemente. Even so, there is not much to see.
With the exception of tidal lowlands marking the mouth of the Santa Margarita River, a narrow strip of coastal plain on the west ends abruptly with cliffs that rim the ocean. To the east, your eyes can follow the plain for about a mile until a line of rugged hills blocks your view. What lies beyond is a mystery. The hills turn light green in the spring, but for most of the year they are shades of brown.
Even at a distance, we often know of the base's existence. Concussions from exploding artillery shells rumble through our neighborhoods and startle our animals. We know this place today as Camp Pendleton — 125,000 acres of prime real estate, a land developer's dream, denied by the presence of some 40,000 Marines and sailors and a sizable civilian contingent who live or work there.
To some, Camp Pendleton is a geographic godsend — a barrier protecting San Diego County from the overdevelopment that has consumed so much of Orange County. To others, it is an enigma. What is going on in that largely unseen area? Why can't it be done somewhere else?
There is no doubt that Camp Pendleton is a powerful member of the North County community in both a regional and national sense. Over the past three years, there has been more than $3 billion worth of work performed on the base. From a broader perspective, Marines and sailors trained there have answered our country's call from World War II through Iraq and Afghanistan.
Another aspect of Camp Pendleton is not so well understood or appreciated: It's a window into our past. The Marine Corps presence is just the latest chapter in the long history of the land.
For thousands of years it was home to Native Americans. Franciscan missionaries performed the first Christian baptism in Alta California while passing through with Gaspar de la Portola. The land was once part of Mission San Luis Rey, the largest of the Spanish missions.
As Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores, it was part of a huge and hugely successful cattle ranch under the flags of Mexico and the United States. At its grandest, the ranch encompassed more than 220,000 acres, extending from Oceanside north into Orange County, encompassing present-day Mission Viejo. Famous California families — the Picos, Forsters, Floods, and O'Neills — are part of the story. Historical buildings there remind us of those times and its people.
One of the most endearing and enduring features of Camp Pendleton is that, unlike so much of Southern California, the men and women who lived those stories would recognize large tracts of the base if they could walk them once more. The Camp Pendleton Historical Society is dedicated to helping the Marine Corps preserve and tell the history of this land.

About Col. Richard B. Rothwell
Rothwell considers Camp Pendleton his hometown. His father, Richard Rothwell, also a Marine colonel, joined the 4th Marine Division at Camp Pendleton during World War II. The division sailed from San Diego in late 1943 to seize the Japanese-held island Roi-Namur in the Marshall Islands.
Rothwell's first recollection of Camp Pendleton was Dec. 31, 1949, when his family visited another Marine family for New Year's Eve. He lived aboard Camp Pendleton with his family in 1955-56, while attending Fallbrook Union High School. As an officer, he had duty at Camp Pendleton as a second lieutenant, first lieutenant, major, lieutenant colonel and colonel. As a captain, he served with the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam. Rothwell served 29 years active duty in the Marines and is now retired.

EL CERRITO -- Sophomore Ivan Rabb scored a game-high 22 points, and the Bishop O'Dowd High boys basketball team rallied from a 11-point halftime deficit and beat Pacific Hills-West Hollywood 57-53 in the first game of the Drew Gooden Invitational Showcase at El Cerrito High on Saturday.
After giving up 40 first-half points, the Dragons held the Bruins to 2-of-16 shooting in the second half and forced seven turnovers.
"The second half we went to a gimmick defense and played man (defense) on their three best players and denied them the ball and didn't give them a shot," O'Dowd coach Lou Richie said about the second-half adjustments. "We wanted to make their other players make plays."
The 6-foot-8 Rabb, who is listed as the No. 2 recruit in the country for the class of 2015 by ESPN, scored 18 of his 22 points in the first half for the Dragons. He also had 16 rebounds and 11 blocks.
The Dragons (3-0) opened the second half on a 15-5 run keyed by Russell Davis, who scored six of his seven points during the spurt. Defensively, Dominic Gomes, Paris Austin, Juwan Anderson and Michael Perri helped limit Pacific Hills' three leading scorers to a combined seven points in the second half.
Jahmel Taylor, the Bruins' leading scorer at 25 points per game, was held scoreless in the second half and finished with 17 points. He fouled out with 2:30 to play.
Taylor keyed a 15-4 second-quarter run with two 3-pointers to help Pacific Hills (6-2) take a 31-22 lead with 3:22 before halftime. The Bruins lead 40-29 at intermission.
Jack Kalmbach tied the game at 47 with a 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter, and Gomes scored 20 seconds later to give O'Dowd a 49-47 lead, its first since early in the second quarter.
Perri had eight points for O'Dowd, and Anderson and Gomes finished with six points each.

12 Hair and Makeup Looks Men Hate
Trying to catch the guy at the bar's eye? It won't happen if you look like this
There were a few common trends though. Almost all guys hate "mom" hair (hello Kate Gosselin pre-hair extensions) and loathe when women cake on the foundation. There were a few other nearly universal dislikes, which you can read about here.
So now comes the important question: If you currently wear a look on this list, should you change it? Our answer: maybe. Let's be honest, the average guy doesn't know a whole lot about women's hair and makeup trends -- and may even struggle to make himself look semi-presentable most days. But that said, it is worth considering why a lot of these looks ended up on this list. For the most part, guys love a normal, natural you. So if you've been glomming on the mascara in an attempt to get his attention, you may want to lay off the Great Lash just a little and see what happens. But if your smoky eye is all for you? Then rock on.

Disposables are increasingly being used in the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. This article describes the design of a fully disposable process for the cGMP manufacture of clinical trial grade plasmid DNA. It addresses the rationale for implementing such a process with respect to the manufacture of patient-specific plasmid DNA vaccines for the treatment of leukemia. The process incorporates a number of disposable technologies, which are simple to use and thus reduce the need for investment in expensive equipment and cleaning validation.
The potential for treating a range of diseases by the delivery of DNA in vivo is being realized in the clinic in several different areas such as cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases. The advantages of using naked pDNA over viral delivery routes include low immunogenicity (allowing a course of multiple treatments) and a simpler manufacturing system.1 The pDNA vector cassette is highly suitable for the rapid development of various vaccine targets, such as personalized vaccines. One limitation for pDNA vaccination is the relative efficiency of the targeting and delivery of pDNA, which is being currently addressed by improving delivery modes by either chemical or physical means (e.g., adjuvants, liposomes, gene gun, or electroporation).
The Clinical Biotechnology Centre (a part of the UK's National Blood Service) has manufactured a range of pDNA vaccines for academic collaborators, and those vaccines are currently undergoing Phase 1 and 2 trials. Since 2005, we have been involved in the manufacture of anti-idiotypic bespoke pDNA vaccines for patients suffering from multiple myeloma. This B-cell malignancy is characterized by the secretion of a serum immunoglobulin paraprotein, which can be identified molecularly and re-engineered into a single-chain Fv construct. The construct is cloned into the pDNA vector cassette containing an immunostimulatory tetanus toxoid fragment.2 Vaccination with the pDNA encoding the patient's paraprotein should induce the patient's immune system to mount anti-idiotypic responses against the tumor. The pDNA construct from one patient to the next may only differ by less than 2% of the backbone, making it suitable for designing a manufacturing platform. The vaccination regimen requires less than 50 mg of pDNA to be manufactured.
The Rationale
The promise of being able to deliver personally tailored vaccines for patients is a big challenge for the biopharmaceutical industry. Often, investments in such "orphan technologies" are not necessarily favored over more conventional generic approaches, where cGMP issues are less complex and the expected returns are greater. An ideal platform process would address the need to reduce manufacturing costs and allow rapid turnaround of batches of product.
Processing costs can be significantly reduced by eliminating the capital outlay in expensive, dedicated equipment (such as fermenters or chromatography systems) and opt for a process that is both disposable and simple to perform by an operator. A single-use process also eliminates the need for equipment decontamination procedures and cleaning validation studies, which are cumbersome and costly.
Process Design
Some prerequisites are necessary to underpin the platform process to ensure compliance with current regulatory requirements. The appropriate sourcing of key materials is critical, such as the exclusion of animal-derived ingredients and the use of pharmaceutical-grade (USP, class VI) disposable plastics throughout. The prudent selection of the appropriate E. coli host cell and pDNA vector will also maximize plasmid quality and yields.3

Young, unpredictable Wofford look to make noise
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 10:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 10:37 p.m.
As should have been expected with a roster that includes only two upperclassmen, Wofford's basketball team has been inconsistent and unpredictable.
In Asheville, N.C. (U.S. Cellular Center)
No. 8 Wofford vs. No. 9 Georgia Southern, 11:30 a.m.
No. 5 Samford vs. No. 12 Furman, 2 p.m.
No. 7 Chattanooga vs. No. 10 UNCG, 6 p.m.
No. 6 Western Carolina vs. No. 11 The Citadel, 8:30 p.m.
No. 1 Davidson vs. Wofford/GSU winner, noon
No. 4 Appalachian State vs. Samford/Furman winner, 2:30 p.m.
No. 2 Elon vs. Chattanooga/UNCG winner, 6 p.m.
No. 3 College of Charleston vs. WCU/Citadel winner, 8:30 p.m.
Semifinals at 6 p.m., 8:30 p.m.
Championship at 7 p.m.
The Terriers believe that's exactly why nobody should count against them making some serious noise in the Southern Conference tournament, which they open at 11:30 a.m. today in Asheville as the No. 8 seed against ninth-seeded Georgia Southern in the U.S. Cellular Arena.
"All season, we've been up and down," sophomore forward Lee Skinner said. "But I know one thing about this team and it's that we've got a lot of heart. We're young, but we don't believe in age. That doesn't matter. You have to man up and come together. We're doing that."
There was the surprising win in December at Xavier, a Sweet 16 regular that won its 17th game Wednesday by beating No. 15 Saint Louis. After that however, the Terriers dropped six of seven, including a thumping at the hands of eventual SoCon bottom-seed Furman.
Wofford (13-18, 7-11) won five of its last eight games of the regular season, one of those losses by just five points at the No. 3 seed College of Charleston. That was a 14-point improvement on the earlier meeting at home. The Terriers demolished Chattanooga by 30. They also scored only 33 in a loss at Samford. They finished with a win against The Citadel, a team they had lost against, holding on after a 17-point lead was cut to two.
"We've been right there in every one of our games down the stretch," Wofford head coach Mike Young said. "We let some slip away, but this team has gotten better and better. And there are brighter days ahead. To finish up as we did, we feel like we're on a pretty good roll."
The regular-season finale against The Citadel was testament to that overall improvement.
"The difference in our team now and where it was 20 games ago is that maybe we don't win that game before," said Taylor Wagener, the only senior. "But we were able to regain our composure and pushed out to a seven-point win. …We're playing good basketball. We've lost some tough games. But we're coming together."
Are they ready for postseason, which would include a second-round game against No. 1 seed Davidson on Saturday?
"I believe we are," said Wofford sophomore guard Karl Cochran, who was named second-team all-conference and is fourth in the league in scoring. "It helps that we got a win going into the tournament. Cam Rundles (assistant coach who helped Wofford win two straight SoCon titles and make it to the NCAA tournament) told us to build a little heat going into the postseason. When you do that, you create some rhythm. I think we've done that."
Wofford will try to erase the memory of last season's short stay in the tournament. The Terriers lost their opener, 82-59, to Western Carolina.
"Our guys are excited about how we are playing right now," Young said. "They're looking forward to going up there and playing much better than we played up there last year."
Wofford's women (8-20, 3-17) finished as the bottom seed of 11 teams and will play at 4 p.m. Friday against No. 6 seed Samford at UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena.
The Terriers lost both regular-season games to the Bulldogs, 52-46 on Dec. 1 and 59-45 on Feb. 2 at home. One of their league wins was in the next-to-last game of the regular season, 75-57 at home against Furman. Morgan Wrightson scored 25 points. Daniella Motley, second-team all-conference, is second on the team in scoring (12.7) and first in rebounding (9.1).
Wofford won a tournament game last season against the College of Charleston before losing to Davidson.

Starting fresh in economic wasteland
A few weeks ago, I attended an undergraduate graduation ceremony in Dublin. As the youngest of 5 siblings, I've been to my fair share of graduations, and I know what they're usually like.
Somebody – sometimes someone famous – gets on a podium, lauds all of the youngsters for their efforts, and encourages them to "go forth" and triumph, as they have officially become equipped to "take on the world." If there are other speakers, they pretty much all say the same thing: the world is your oyster, now get out your carving knives.
But at this year's graduation in Dublin, the atmosphere was much different than anything I had seen before. Everything felt overwhelmingly dreary. Even the air felt heavy, and gravid with bad news, like the air in a funeral parlor during a wake.
The students filed in, adorned in black robes and multi-colored hoods, and very little time passed before they were given their degrees. Then it was time for the speeches.
One faculty member actually uttered the words, "I feel ashamed" handing out the degrees, because of the poor economic climate in which he was asking his former students to start their lives. He knew they'd be going from living at home with their parents and working long but rewarding hours towards earning their degrees, to living at home with their parents and spending Thursday afternoons collecting social welfare checks with their former classmates.
It's a harsh truth, but nobody is hiring in Ireland these days, period.
Or, at least, very few people are hiring. And that's a daunting environment for anyone to start a career in, nevermind hope to make a life for oneself.
One of my favorite graduation speeches wasn't one I witnessed in person at all.
It was by JK Rowling, author of the world-renowned Harry Potter series, at Harvard's 2008 Commencement ceremony. "On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success," she started, "I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure."
She discussed how it took complete and utter failure – seven years after her graduation, she was an unemployed single mother "as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless" - to find the strength to succeed.
In her time of dire need, she said, she learned to focus all of her energies on using her talent for writing to bring her out of poverty. So she knuckled down, and, while rocking her daughter to sleep in a baby carriage in British cafes, she wrote what was to become the world-famous Harry Potter series.
She attributed her successes to her major failure. "[R]ock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life," she said, "because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential".
Rowling's story exemplifies the best possible outcome of total and utter financial ruin. Surely, a hopeful example for Ireland, which has undoubtedly hit its own rock bottom this week, as it accepted EU funds to help bring about its economic recovery.
Perhaps, with the bailout money from the EU, Ireland can work towards slowly but surely becoming a leaner, meaner, better version of itself, and let the Irish people's talents, intelligence and hard work be that which brings the nation back to its full potential.
But that's not necessarily the point.
It's all well and good to talk about the way that entrepreneurs can flourish during an economic downturn such as this, or how this failure will teach Ireland how to keep from making the same mistakes; how it will make her stronger.
But somewhere, at some time, somebody has to be held accountable for how Ireland got here in the first place.
At the Dublin graduation, one speaker gave a speech that I cannot remember except for one line; it moved me so much that I spent the rest of the day mentally repeating it, to make sure that I had committed it to memory.
She was talking about the Irish financial regulators, bankers, developers and politicians, when she lamented that "the institutions that we thought were loyal, honest and trustworthy turned out to be fragile, and often corrupt."
That's when it hit me: the amount of anger and frustration that we see from protesters on the street and commentators on the television has nothing to do with people being reluctant to cut down on expenditures(they have no choice but to do so), or about people being too lazy to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps(they spend every day hunting for jobs that simply don't exist).
This is about being betrayed. An entire nation has crumbled to its knees, and had to have its big brother, the EU, come along and rescue it, simply because the people in power didn't do what they said they'd do. They didn't protect their own people.

Four people in Louisiana have already died this year from the symptoms related to West Nile virus. And Mississippi now has 22 confirmed cases of West Nile in humans.
West Nile is a virus spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, and it can infect people, horses, many types of birds, and other animals.
Most people infected have no symptoms at all, or only experience mild ones. But some can come down with the severe and fatal illness known as West Nile encephalitis, which is an inflammation of the brain.
National health officials say the virus is here to stay and that simple prevention efforts, such as wearing insect repellent, is the best way to manage the epidemic.
"Well some of the things that can be done are to try and control the mosquito population up front. And there are ways of killing larval forms of mosquitoes, but also the adult insects can be killed through spraying programs and so forth. But probably the most important thing is for people to just be alert of the risks," said one health official.
Here are some tips you can take to reduce the risks of contracting West Nile virus.

Whenever outside, you should spray insect repellent with deet over your body and your clothes.
You should also try to stay inside at dusk and dawn, which are peak mosquito hours. And you need to remove stagnant water from around your house.
The Meridian area saw another downpour of rain this afternoon, so if you have standing water around you, make sure you empty the containers, to limit the breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
going to be a long season.
another terrible performance. we didnt deserve more than a draw. infact norwich were the better team.
dembele scored a stunner & showed what a great signing he can be.
livermore was terrible & gave away a stupid free kick which lead to the norwich goal.
gallas looked dodgy & cant see why he is ahead of dawson & caulker?! aerial he gets domianted week after week. last wk lukaka, this week holt.
why play defoe on his own upfront & then play 2 DM?! sandro & livermore & 1 foward at home to norwich!
can u imagine if we had started with 4-4-2.
a certain poster would have said thats why it didnt work! & ignore the many occasions when 1 up front didnt work this year.
we ended with hudd & livermore in the heart of midfield. thats is emberressing! livermore is ok as cover to sandro & parker. but he shouldnt be a main starter.
& hudd! he shoudnt be anywhere near the club. he looks even more overweight. he isnt fit enough & has shown no effort to get in shape despite his huge pay packet. im not sure if it was a sending off but these days they send u off for anything.
we badly miss a modric to set up the play.
i personally would have started with defoe & ade.
especially if u are going to play 2 DMs.
bad start from AVB. but kind of predictable. no one really wanted him. i would have prefered moyes.
but too early to tell. only 3 games in. but if u were a betting man, i dont think it would be much of a suprise if we end up mid table & avb gets the boot.
at the moment i think 6th looks like a good target with this team & manager.
we can forget utd,city & chelsea for obvious reasons.
but the only good thing is that liverpool & arsenal dont look any stronger than last season.
so that 4th spot is really open this year. even a everton or newcastle could get it if they play well.
this is the 1st season in a few years where im not expecting much. so its quite good in a way that im not really that disapointed or suprised that we have 2pts from 3 games. i was very much expecting a bad start.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Another terrible and boring performance!
It was almost a carbon copy of last weeks game at home to WBA!
I'm with you on the team selection SB.
I was already fuming 15 minutes before kick-off when I saw the line-up!
For the life of me I cannot understand why play Sandro & Livermore in the centre with only a small target man upfront, especially when at home and against Norwich!
AVB obviously did not learn from last weeks performance.
We have enjoyed a great record at the Lane over the last couple of seasons, but now it's looking like the Tottenham of old.
Levy got his priorities all wrong during the transfer window, left it till too late as per usual. Not getting a fit replacement for Modric is going to cost us big time.
Dembele, Sig and Dempsey all good players, but none I see as world class (maybe Dembele will get there)... Whereas Modric, VdV & Gio are!
I don't understand why leave the Moutinho thing right till the very end, perhaps they could have sorted out the sticking points if time was not such an issue.
For me, Levy is highly unprofessional come transfer window.
Whatever he saved in fees/wages by not signing him, he'll lose alot more in lack of success on the pitch.
I look at our squad and see lots of decent players, lots of deadwood (fossils in some cases) and really only one or two outstanding talents.
I think we'd do well to get 60 points this year and a top 6 finish.
AVB does not seem a quick learner to me. We did not look like having a game plan and the players were not playing for each other today. Lots of frustration both on and off the pitch.
Was that Mr Lewis I saw with Levy during the game?
I wonder what he made of it.
I'm afraid we're looking very soft and short of creativity this season.
I know people keep saying its early days... but it's now 3 games gone (2 at home) and zero improvement.
Fingers X AVB can get to grips with the new signings ASAP and bring some dynamism back into our play.
err... COYS?
we can thank Freidel for our point...we should've lost by two or three, he pulled off a couple of brilliant saves and was probably slightly unsighted on the equalizer (I'll say that before I say he reacted a little late...due to age...wink).
Horrible first half performance, only slightly better in the second half. The set up was all wrong for a home game (what are we going to do on away days, play 8 at the back one in the middle and one up top!). That said Sigurdsson was the designated "playmaker" and didn't get it done (hence being pulled off.
Dembele looked gassed after about 15 mins (notice he kind of disappeared after he first came on...then reappeared to score that quite remarkable goal (and many more to him...for us, I hope)...then disappeared again.
The sending off was harsh, but as SB said, it doesn't take much these days (BTW, I though Hudds had gone to Stoke on a loan deal...what happened?).
We've got to be a lot more positive, especially at home, because the minute teams sense frailty, all respect goes out the window, and we did nothing to earn Norwich's respect.
Now for the dream land vision:
1. We're a point behind where we were this time last season
2. We have one less loss than this time last season (of course, we haven't won yet either!).
I temper that with, we haven't played a decent team yet, that is, one capable of making noise at the business end of the league table with the exception of Newcastle...away...and we lost that one). When i looked at the fixture list I initially thought, great, we can get off to a flying start...7 of 9 points, instead we have two (deja vu anyone?).
I've got no great hopes for this season, not even a holding pattern, but, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it (yeah, I'll be upset, but it wont be as deep and it wont be for long).
Take a while to sort out the team and system. I think a degree of patience is required. Booing at half time and full time is unwarranted. We lost this fixture 2-1 last year.
Spursbabe, you are right. Modric is a massive miss. He is one of the best two or three of his type playing at the moment which is why he went for big money and why we see a big difference in the team.
The recent acquisitions have flair and I think in a while, once they have a chance to all bed in we will see better performances from the team.
Hopefully we won't get a repeat of the one day scenario. I don't think we will. There's an emence amount of talent in the squad and AVB will get it right.
- 1 Reply to Robert
i agree sledge about leaving the moutinho deal to the last minute. why only make a genuine decent offer with a day to go. then leave yourself so little time to agree a deal with the player.
i understand the fact he allegedly wanted 100k which is too much for us. but at the same time we are spending way more than that on deadwood!
yes friedel did have a good game rambro. also rambro, hudd failed his fitness test. they felt he had a dodgy ankle too. no suprise there. how is he allowed to be so unfit?
also agree with u on the fact that its not worth losing sleep over. yes we are most likely going to struggle all season, but it is just football at the end of the day. there are far more important things in life!
like i said earlier, my expectations are really low this season so even a poor draw at home to norwich isnt getting me too down!
i like your optimism robin. hope u arent going to be too disappointed.
There you go again. Why always the personal attack? But if that's where you want to go....
How come you haven't slammed AVB for saying he wants to win the title, even before he saw the team kick a ball in earnest?
How come you haven't slammed AVB for playing defensive - he plays two defensive MFs at home. He then takes off a striker for a defensive MF as soon as the team take the lead - then loses the lead and has no where to go? As I pointed out before, 3 points now is the same as 3 points in the last game of the season. We may end up regretting having a poor start.
As for:
'...can u imagine if we had started with 4-4-2.
a certain poster would have said thats why it didnt work! & ignore the many occasions when 1 up front didnt work this year.
You tend to miss any point with regard to Daffy. Daffy isn't a great goalscorer (I've asked before, and I'll ask again - show me the best years Daffy has had in the EPL - goals and assists) - he's average. He doesn't lend anything else to the team. He isn't too good at holding up the ball and bringing others into play. He isn't too good at being a single striker - so all that really leaves is two up front. That's fine - but Daffy doesn't make that many partnerships either. He shoots rather than passes (I do take on board the assist yesterday - but his history of assists is also pretty poor). Daffy is OK, but one dimensional. He needs others to provide for him, but does not (normally) provide for others. I think the stats show that. I think most people see that.
Keep having the digs SB, as the digs just make the whole [sic] deeper. You do make me smile ;-)!

This past weekend I headed up to Boston for the Major League Lacrosse Championship. I have some friends that were playing for the championship and a bunch that met up to watch so it was a blast.
My friend from San Diego, who is the goalie for the LA Riptide, was awarded the 2008 Warrior Goalkeeper of the Year award before the games began on Saturday. Commissioner David Gross. gave out the award which was based on votes submitted by the general managers and head coaches of the ten MLL teams. It is the first time that Jarboe has earned the award in his career. Congrats Mickey!
Side Note: Six of us can be seen below wearing our "Jarboe's #1 Fan" t-shirts. Yay! Everyone in the picture played lacrosse with me at the University of Richmond and Katie in the center is my best friend from San Diego and her boyfriend just so happens to be the one and only - Mickey Jarboe. The t-shirt was an embarassing surprise for her!
I can never say no to free tickets so "Jarboe's #1 Fan's" parked it right on the sidelines in the Budweiser beer tent to watch the game from the best seats in the house.
In the first semi-final game on Saturday, the Rochester Rattlers defeated the Philadelphia Barrage in OT, 16-15. Rochester Rattlers attackman Casey Powell scored the game-winning goal just 45 seconds into overtime to give the Rattlers their first-ever play-off victory. The win also gave the Philadelphia Barrage their first-ever postseason loss after six straight prior to this year.
The second semi-final game, and the one I was looking forward to the most, was just as close as the first. Some of my good friends on the LA Riptide took a tough loss as they were defeated by the Denver Outlaws, 13-12. Denver Outlaws midfielder Jeff Sonke was on fire at the end of the game scoring the last four goals for the Outlaws, including a two-point goal with a couple minutes left to play, to give Denver the victory.
Although the LA Riptide guys were really disappointed by the outcome, they were still very grateful we were there, Mickey Jarboe especially, and were back in high spirits at the tailgate after the game.
On Sunday, the Rochester Rattlers won their first Major League Lacrosse title by defeating the Denver Outlaws with a 16-6 score. The semi-final games on Saturday were definitely way more exciting. Midfielder Joe Walters was named as the Bud Light Championship Weekend MVP after scoring six goals with five assists in the two games. He scored two goals with two assists in the championship game.

Hello guys, first of all thanks for everyone that takes the time to support this great product.
I have been using PMS for several years now, and it works great, that is on my PS3.
Since i have a smartTV in another room it's another story. PMS recognizes my TV, plays the video's, but the subtitles don't refresh. Every new line is writen over the other one that keeps standing.
On my TV using the PS3 i don't have that problem.
The problem is troughout several versions 1.8x trough 1.901 and in all containers, beeing avi, mkv etc.
I can't find any similar problem using google, i don't even know if PMS or my Panasonic vierra smarttv is causing the problem, nor can i find any settings that could even remotely fix the problem.
I hope someone has more insight and give me a direction were the problem might be.
Thanks, Wolfjemidas.

In Theaters This Week
Toward the end of the 1989 film "Field of Dreams, " author Terence Mann (James Earl Jones) tells Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), "The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.
"This field, this game: It's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
Baseball is so deeply ingrained in the tapestry of American life -- and has been for so long -- that it makes perfect sense filmmakers would turn to the game for inspiration and for perspectives on what is good (and bad) about this land.
More than 250 movies have been made about baseball, going all the way back to 1898 when Thomas Edison produced "The Ball Game." The sport has been used for deep human drama ("Eight Men Out"), comedy ("Major League"), explorations of coming of age ("Sandlot") and rich allegory ("The Natural").
On Friday, another baseball film will take the field -- "42," a modern day take on Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the breaking of baseball's color line in 1947. Is it one of the best baseball films ever? Here's the competition: our lineup of the five best, pre-"Moneyball" movies about the National Pastime:
1) 'Field of Dreams' (1989)
There's such thematic richness and love of the game in this Phil Alden Robinson film that it has to be No. 1. Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears voices telling him to build a baseball field in his cornfield. When he does, he finds himself playing host to the ghosts of baseball past, most notably Shoeless Joe Jackson. But his journey is only beginning, as he travels across the country to bring reclusive author Terence Mann and former baseball player Archibald "Moonlight" Graham to Iowa. Beautifully acted -- especially by Jones as Mann and Burt Lancaster as the older Graham -- and filled with memorable dialogue, "Dreams" is sentimental in the best possible way. Anyone who doesn't shed a tear when Kinsella turns to the ghost of his father, a former baseball player, and says, "Hey, Dad? You wanna have a catch?" has no heart.
2) 'Bull Durham' (1988)
Kevin Costner, the star of "Field of Dreams, " goes two for two with this Ron Shelton-directed look at life in the minor leagues. It is arguably the most authentic of all baseball films in the way it captures the game, both on and off the field. And it has three memorial characters: Costner's lifetime minor leaguer Crash Davis, Tim Robbins' phenom pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh and Susan Sarandon's baseball groupie Annie Savoy. Its mixture of comedy, drama, romance and the allure of the sport is hard to beat.
3) 'Eight Men Out' (1988)
The year 1988 was a very good one for baseball movies. In addition to "Bull Durham, " there was this John Sayles film, perhaps the best baseball picture based on true events. "Eight Men" focuses on the eight members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox -- including Shoeless Joe Jackson (see "Field of Dreams") -- who conspired with gamblers to throw the World Series. It captures the era beautifully, deals smartly with a complex morality tale and features good performances from a cast that includes Charlie Sheen, John Cusack, Bill Irwin, John Mahoney and David Strathairn.
4) 'Major League' (1989)
More than a few baseball fans I know positively despise this movie, a rowdy comedy about the Cleveland Indians' sudden rise to challenge the New York Yankees for the pennant. But for a lot of fans, it rings true (particularly the clubhouse scenes), and some of the scenes are absolutely hilarious (Bob Uecker as the team's radio announcer is a hoot). Best of all, you find yourself cheering for this band of misfits and castoffs.
5) 'A League of Their Own' (1992)
Part comedy, part period piece, part history lesson, "League" -- directed by Penny Marshall -- has aged particularly well as a movie. Not only does it put a forgotten piece of baseball history, the World War II-era All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, in the spotlight, but it also has some terrific acting from Tom Hanks and Geena Davis as a former all-star slugger turned manager and his star player. Plus, the cast looks credible on the field. Extra credit for one truly unforgettable line: "There's no crying in baseball."
These films were stranded when we made up our list of the Top 5 movies:
6) "Moneyball" (2011)
7) "The Natural" (1984)
8) "The Bad News Bears" (1976)
9) "61*" (2001)
10) "Bang the Drum Slowly" (1973)
