The increasing interest in the functional study of the liver is shown by the appearance of this volume. In scope and subject matter it is similar to other recent treatises in English and German. The authors are familiar with the work done in other countries, but the references are almost wholly French. As such it is of particular value as a general rather than critical summary of the French literature and point of view in a confused and disputed field. American readers will be most struck by the insistence that the extrahepatic formation of bilirubin is largely a pathologic phenomenon. The formation of urobilin in the tissues likewise is denied by the most recent American investigators. One agrees with the conception of "asynergie fonctionnelle" and the necessity for "l'exploration plurifonctionnelle" in hepatic disease. The selection of the urobilin in the urine, the Hay test, the ammonia coefficient in the urine,

|Help! had enough now. My 41/2 month old baby boy wont sleep through the night. He has a good bedtime routine, bath, massage, bottle in quiet dark room, goes down in cot about 7pm & most nights goes to sleep ok with a dummy. He then wakes anytime between 12 & 2am crying. He has a bottle & doesnt always go back to sleep or he may do later about an hour of settling him but then is awake on & off the rest of the night. he is waking up my 2 yr old who has always been a great sleeper. He slept through the night after 10 wks of age so been spoilt. not coping well with 2nd baby & both me & my husband are exhausted. Baby ends up in our bed which i know is wrong but is the only way he'll settle back to sleep for abit so all of us can get abit of sleep. Have tried a few things but nothing seems to work & he just cries the place down. have started weaning also. Controlled crying worked for my other boy but dont think it will for this baby. He's very clingy & loves to be cuddled which is making it much harder. I just want to stop the night feeds & get him sleeping through til even 6am!! Any ideas greatly appreciated. Oh teething is bothering him which i apprevciate will cause some disruptive nights but this is a joke now xxx

|My husband and I have been training our 8 week old daughter to fall asleep in her cot withot being rocked in our arms first but also without having to let her cry herself to sleep which would be heartbreaking! We found some tips from a lady called 'The baby whisperer'. Basically, wait for your baby to be dopey with sleep, not actually asleep but calm and quiet and eyes half closed, then lay them in the cot and let them wiggle for a few minutes before swaddling (or however you settle your baby), then swaddle them and put your hand over their eyes. Only shield them- don't actually touch the baby's face! This stops them being interested in looking around the room! Keep your hand there and shhh your baby to sleep. Stop ssshhhing when she has actually fallen asleep but stay by the cot for at least 30 mins in case she snuffles and stirs and when she does then get ur hand ready to shield her eyes again if her eyes open and shh her if she has a little whinge but stop when she does. This whole process takes us about an hour every night and its pretty uncomfortable keeping ur hand hovering over her eyes, especially if she cries and we have to pick her up and soothe her until she gets sleepy again and repeat the process all over again but it really does seem to work!!! Once we get into bed she's then usually settled for about 5/6 hours of unbroken sleep: its really worth persevering with! We have found feeding her and changing her as late as possible so we know nothing can annoy her or distract her from being dopey with sleep really helps too, as well as a very dark room because she's very nosey!! Hope this helps xxx

my baby is 4 and 1/2 months old I have been trying to sleep training it has only been 2 nights, but they have been so discouraging. I am wondering how long did your babies cry for when they woke up in the middle of the night, before soothing them selves back to sleep. My baby cried last night for 4 1/2 hours, until it was actually time to wake up and I ended up feeding him his AM bottle, then he was very sleepy, don't know what to do, he does not seem to be soothing himself, just crying.!!

|Hi willsmom. I think it is normal for young babies to have this problem (that is what I was told by my HV in new zealand!!!). Ours began to settle better at about 6 or 7 weeks, with afew little helping hands from us. We didn't use the bassinet during the day at first-only at night, daytime sleeps were in a sling, pushchair, carrycot, bouncer, etc with transfer to carrycot if necessary. I wore a gauze on my pack tied around the front of my neck like a bac-to-front loose neckerchief and then put it in the bassinet at night to smell of me but not of my milk, and we used a hot water bottle to warm the mattress and the blanket before putting him down. Those first few weeks we did not put him down until about ten or eleven at night because he did not seem to want to sleep. Then we had a routine of soft instrumental music playing a while before bedtime, lots of low chitchat and cuddle time and lullabies, and then put him in the bassinet in our room and went to bed ourselves-with a gentle controlled crying technique, we would reassure, stroke his head, etc, every minute, then two minutes, then five minutes, and the rest of the time genty read a story out loud or read a book (with the lights off). After a few days he started to settle within half an hour or so, and gradually it became less and less. After about 4 weeks or so, I would just sit and read a book or potter about the bedroom tidying up and he would fall asleep within 10-15 minutes without any crying. Try it! and good luck - I promise you it will get better one way or another. -- don't let yourself fall into bad habits later though -- like we did; you have to teach them all over again! - I think good swaddling helps some babies too . . .

|hey brooklynnsmama, i had the same problem with my son, who would go to sleep next to me or in my bed with me, but as soon as i put him in his bassinet he would wake up and start screaming till i gave in and picked him back up. i tried for weeks, many different things (music, mobiles etc) and then the solution came to me one day when i was making my bed, he didnt like his matteress. he was so used to my firm one, and the one in his bassinet was a soft teatree one, so i moved his crib into my room, and now he sleeps a good 8/9 hours at night.

|just putting it out there for anyone ! its helped me !
but my little boy noah was having trouble sleeping, and I was only having 4 hrs sleep per night.i was struglling with having so little sleep. he just wouldnt settle and sleep, and trying to get him into a sleeping pattern was near impossible!
then my sister gave me an instrumental piano CD.
she said that it worked for her so I gave it a try.. and its worked a treat ! for the last 3 weeks, noah has been settling down and sleeping better than ever. i play it 30mins before bed time and continue playing it for maybe another hr or so afterwards?
also besides my sister I dont know anyone that uses music to help their newborn sleep? does anyone reading this use music? good results bad results?
I know in my case for the moment this music regardless to say has been my savior.
so I tried to find the website but I couldnt, so after a while of goolgeing I found it.
its justinhunterbaby and on there you can listen to the music and read other parents posts.
let me know what you think ! im alot happier for it !

|My daughter is almost 2 months old and I have been trying to get her on a nighttime routine for the past 2 weeks. The first couple days she did really good. Sleeping about 5 hours the first night and 6 the second but since then she hasnt slept more then 4 hours. She will be dead asleep for about 10 mintues so ill put her in her bassinet and immediatly she will wake up. The only way to get her to sleep through the night is if she sleeps next to me. I havent had a good night sleep in almost a month and I dont know what to do know?

|Sorry to disapoint you Duffinannie, but my daughter is 5 1/2 months and still wakes between 1 and 2 times a night. I've just come on here to look for some advice too so let me know if you find anything that works. My little one was breast fed until 2 weeks ago and we'd put it down to my milk not being so satisfying, but we're back to square one again. I'll keep soldiering on though, lol. I know it can't last forever. I've 2 elder daughters and don't remember having this much trouble with night feeding. But she is a bigger and much more greedy girl.

|My baby is 6 weeks old, she has not much of a routine during the day just naps when she is tired. At night we have her in a routine where she goes down between 8.30-9.00 after a warm bottle and a little dreamshow toy which she loves. However she still wakes twice during the night for feeds which is exhausting. She is already on 6 oz and weighs 11 pounds! Wondering if you guys have any advice on feeding through the night as she will not miss her feeds and the longest she has over slept is 5 hours, but during the night she wakes up usually after 4 hours and then the second feed is about 3 1/2 hours.

He used to sleep very well in the day and he was also establishing a decent bedtime rountine he was starting to sleep through the night or at least untill 5 or six in the morning. But now he wakes up between 3 too 5 and sometimes sleeps at 6.30 to 7.30 pm at night and on other days stays awake to till 11! I am very confused, should i let him get in to his own routine or should i establish a routine! If anyone has any ideas please feel free to offer your advice!

|The best thing for us has been the baby comforter. We got one from www.sleepytot.com and it's been brilliant. You can attach it to the cot when your baby is really small and then give it to him to cuddle later. We have dummies on ours too. It made such a big difference to our sleep because it seems to really reassure my ds and also helps him find his dummy. Best thing we bought.
helsbels, if your 8.5 week old is going down at 6:45 she's probably waking at 5:45 because she's had enough sleep. Could you treat the 6:45 bedtime as a nap instead. And then get her up at about 8:15 for a feed, cuddle and little play. If you were to put her to bed for the night at 9:15 she may wake later in the morning and then you could gradually bring bedtime forward. 12 hours is a lot to hope for at 8/9 weeks. In fact, 11 hours is brilliant!

|My LO is 81/2 wks old and a very contented baby, however for the last week she has been waking between 5:30 & 5:45 every morning, she is not hungry ( as have tried to feed her), she has a great daytime & bedtime routine inc going down at 6:45, (she can't cope any longer), feeds between 10 & 11pm, then 2 & 3am (bottles of 5 0z)...does anyone else find their baby has started this early waking habit? what did you do? Also I have found after the 2 & 3am feed she is very noisy in her sleep... again does anyone else have this experience? Our routine is as follows the baby expert, apart from we feed later than 5pm at 6:15, I have tried the CLB routines which are very similar by Gina Ford. and can highly recommend when unsure what to do. Pls can anyone offer any support as 5:30 is still the middle of the night!!! it's very tiring with the noises and then early waking

|My son is 1 and sleep is a problem. I have tried the controlled crying technique, but he was being physically sick from working himself up so much, I tried sitting in the room with him, but he would be physically sick! It has now got to the point where I will pick him up because im scared he will be sick. I have a bed time routine which we try to follow religiously. He still wakes up once during the night for a bottle, but that i can deal with once we figure out the going to sleep part. Im stuck as to what to try next...

|Hi Nutty Nat
Have you tried the controlled crying technique as used by 'supernanny'? It is extremely effective. I was having trouble getting my seven month old son to go to sleep and I used controlled crying. Now he goes down like a dream. Put your daughter in her cot say goodnight and leave. Let her cry/scream for five minutes exactly. Then go in, put your hand on her chest and say shhhh shhh for two minutes. Do NOT make eye contact or pick her up. Then leave. If she is still crying wait ten minutes and repeat. Then the next time wait twenty minutes. This reassures her that you are still around but it teaches her that bedtime is bedtime and she's not getting up. It is very hard at first to listen to your baby crying and you need to be resolved but it won't hurt her if she is getting lots of love and attention during the day. By night three you will be in for an amazing surprise! Sometimes it may take longer. But perserve! Its worth having your evenings and your bed back! Good luck. Denise

Since we started feeding him solids from about 6.5 months, he seems to be waking up regularly, in fact you could set your clock to him. He wakes at11:30pm, 1:30am and 5:30am every night and the only thing that gets him to sleep is another bottle of Formula, he is now almost 10 months old and nothing I tried on my eldest (who is 2 now) seems to work with Billy, any suggestions? I should point out that once he has the bottle he will lie down and go to sleep by himself, as since birth he has never fallen asleep in our arms.

|My son is now 17wks old. He will go down to sleep in his cot at around 10pm after a 6oz bottle providing that you hold his hand until he drifts off. By midnight he wakes again wanting another 6oz bottle and takes another 25-30 mins to get back to sleep. this process continues through the night every 30 mins after 2am, if he isnt wanting feeding he wants his dummy, which the majority of the time is lodged underneath his neck. I have tried the bath time routine and the baby massage. He fights sleep day and night which results in me on a good night acheiving 1 hours sleep if that. He is taking gavison powder in his milk for acid so that does thicken his food. Any tips ?

|i found that the gradual retreat worked really well with my son. he did not go to sleep unless you were holding so i started putting him in his cot and holding his hand until he went to sleep then after a few nights i just sat beside the cot so he could see me. i done that for a few nights then i started to stand outside his room. until finaly i was sitting down stairs with a cup of tea!! it does take time but it is well worth it. now he goes to bed no problems. he's happy and i'm happy!!

|I have a 3 month old daughter and in the first two months she would NOT sleep more than 4 hours at a time because of her feeding schedule i'm assuming, but then one day- Poof! she slept from 10:30pm until 8:00am...it was amazing!! i didn't do anything differently so sometimes you do all you can to make them sleep through the night but if she's going to do it, she might just have to do it on her own. don't give up and don't get frustated, crying won't hurt your baby...

|Our baby is a month old - for the last week we've tried the above methods (leaving her to 'chat', not picking her up etc.) but she doesn't settle herself. She works herself into a complete crescendo of distress! Is she too young to be trying this? Or is a week too short?

|What can i do? This info won't help me at all. my baby is almost 5months old,and to tell you the truth,she doesn't want to be left alone. She cries all the time,the only way to let her stop crying is to pic her up and play with her. she never goes to sleep without me rocking her to sleep. she fights back just to not sleep. please help,because im suffering with her,i can't even clean my house properly. she just don't give me time for stuff like that.Can i just leave her in her cot,screaming my head of? I don't think so...

|I agree with the above BUT my big tip for getting a baby to sleep and to stay asleep is - after establishing a routine ie bath time at a set time etc just before you put your baby down give him or her a quite warm bottle of milk ( obviously not hot - but quite warm ) - this gets them to sleep. But to stay asleep - i crush up half a rusk into a fine powder ( with a pestal and mortar ) and then add it to 4 floz of milk - this seems to satify any night time hunger. So that my daughter can drink it from a bottle i use a number 2 teat but i have made the hole slightly bigger so she can suck the rusk out. Not only does she drink all of her milk ( because she loves rusky milk ) but as i say it seems to keep her going through the night. my daughter sleeps 7 pm till 7 am !

I've had some thoughts about a few lines. A blond belief beyond beyond beyondDoes this suggest some type of Aryan superiority concept held by one or more of the characters?? Maybe Ramona herself?? Or perhaps it is of a more harmless nature. "Blonde" traditionally associated with youth and innocence. It is an innocent, naive belief, on the part of someone.I'm derangedDeranged my loveI'm deranged down down downSo cruise me babe cruise me babyTo me this signifies some type of romantic/sexual relationship between Ramona and whoever the Artiste Minitaur is. The person (whom the archetype of the Minitaur is manifested in) is allowing Ramona to use it, or 'cruise' it (take the controls of the vehicle). Perhaps the Minitaur is being personified through Ramona herself. And she's 'using' it, or perhaps it is using her, as a conduit of sorts.Big deal SalaamIf the Minituar and Ramona are separate people, this is another confirmation that she is decieving him/her to use for her purposes. She blesses this person, but it is not sincire. This person is only a tool for her, but she allows them to believe that they mean more. She's throwing around blessings, or her favour; big deal -Salaam! Note the irony/sarcasm in the phrase 'big deal.'edit: perhaps this song is about the murderer giving up the fight to remain 'sane' and is essentially saying "all right Minitaur, I'm all your's. I can't fight you any more. Take my mind and body. 'Cruise' me. I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas

Cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-psychotomimetic component of the plant Cannabis sativa, exerts therapeutically promising effects on human mental health such as inhibition of psychosis, anxiety and depression. However, the mechanistic bases of CBD action are unclear. Here we investigate the potential involvement of hippocampal neurogenesis in the anxiolytic effect of CBD in mice subjected to 14 d chronic unpredictable stress (CUS). Repeated administration of CBD (30 mg/kg i.p., 2 h after each daily stressor) increased hippocampal progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis in wild-type mice. Ganciclovir administration to GFAP-thymidine kinase (GFAP-TK) transgenic mice, which express thymidine kinase in adult neural progenitor cells, abrogated CBD-induced hippocampal neurogenesis. CBD administration prevented the anxiogenic effect of CUS in wild type but not in GFAP-TK mice as evidenced in the novelty suppressed feeding test and the elevated plus maze. This anxiolytic effect of CBD involved the participation of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor, as CBD administration increased hippocampal anandamide levels and administration of the CB1–selective antagonist AM251 prevented CBD actions. Studies conducted with hippocampal progenitor cells in culture showed that CBD promotes progenitor proliferation and cell cycle progression and mimics the proliferative effect of CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptor activation. Moreover, antagonists of these two receptors or endocannabinoid depletion by fatty acid amide hydrolase overexpression prevented CBD-induced cell proliferation. These findings support that the anxiolytic effect of chronic CBD administration in stressed mice depends on its proneurogenic action in the adult hippocampus by facilitating endocannabinoid-mediated signalling.

This is the fifth part of a five part series leading up to the 2012 combine. Keep an eye out this week for each article examining prospects the Detroit Lions may be interested in drafting come April.
Mock drafts abound in our post-Super Bowl slump as we eagerly await the 2012 draft. The combine is this coming weekend and promises to shake up everyone's boards.
Between Louis Delmas's injuries, Amari Spievey's struggles on the field, and the Lions' inability to bring in a quality veteran they need a solid prospect at Safety. A first round pick is out of the question, but here are some later round possibilities to keep your eye on:
George Iloka, Boise State (6'3", 216)
It's possible that Iloka falls somewhere between the 5th and 7th rounds. If that's the case the Lions would be wise to pull the trigger on this guy. He needs time to develop, but looks like the has the skills to play the run well and match up with tight ends.
Harrison Smith, Notre Dame (6'2", 214)
Smith is pegged as a 4th or 5th round pick, but a solid 40 time could really raise his draft stock because of his size. For the Lions' purposes I feel like Smith would fill a role similar to how they use Delmas now, so they may not go after him. However, Delmas's injury history should push them to pick up some much needed depth at the position.
Tony Dye, UCLA (6'0", 216)
Dye's season was mostly wiped out by a neck injury so he's entering the draft as a bit of a risk, but he was productive before that. If nothing else, Dye would be a great special teams player with high upside. Even if Spievey turns his play around the Lions are hurting for quality depth.
Kelcie McCray, Arkansas State (6'2", 195)
McCray is being projected to go in a late round or possibly even undrafted. I think he'd be an excellent developmental prospect for the Lions if he does undrafted. McCray looks like he has good coverage ability, but the rest of his game is lacking.
Antonio Allen, South Carolina (6'2", 202)
Allen is being projected to go in the third round, but he looks to project as a special teams guy more than anything. He's an in-the-box safety with poor coverage skills. The Lions can do much better than to take a flier on Allen, but maybe they'll end up seeing something different in him.
(For what it's worth Walter Football has the Lions selecting Allen with their third round pick)
Coverage of Defensive Backs workouts begins at 9:00am on Tuesday, February 28 on the NFL Network and NFL.com.
Are there any other Safeties in the draft that we should be keeping an eye on? Leave a comment and let everyone know who you're looking forward to seeing this weekend.

After hearing my commander in chief send a message with a timeline (to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell), I am hopeful that by year's end I can continue translating Arabic and leading troops without having to lie. But he did not send a clear message on how. So until I get concrete evidence that I will not be fired, my job just like thousands in America, is in jeopardy.
I was moved by the entire speech, I am stirred to hear his national security points: to fight terror, the urgency of finishing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and especially helping to rescue and rebuild Haiti. It was a call to action.
Some people heard: 'Jobs Jobs Jobs.' I heard 'Values, Responsbility, Duty.'
-Lt. Dan Choi
Follow Lt. Choi on twitter @ltdanchoi
On March 19, 2009, Lt. Dan Choi, a West Point graduate and Iraq veteran fluent in Arabic, announced that he was gay on The Rachel Maddow Show. Because of three words – "I am gay" – Lt. Choi's life changed forever. Despite his extreme value as an Arabic speaker able to communicate quickly and clearly with the Iraqi people, one month after his announcement Lt. Dan Choi was notified that the Army had begun discharge proceedings against him. He was one of only eight soldiers from his graduating class who majored in Arabic.

Cal coach Ben Braun thought the whole thing was horse-bleep.
The Golden Bears' season took an even more sour turn Saturday afternoon at Pauley Pavilion on the final day of the Pac-10 Conference regular season when Shipp dropped in a shot from behind the right corner of the backboard with 1.5 seconds left, giving No. 3 UCLA its first lead since 2-0 and saddling Cal with a bitter 81-80 defeat.
Afterward, no one was sure if Shipp's shot was even legal -- Rule 7, Section 1, Article 3 of the 2008 NCAA Rules & Interpretations suggests otherwise. "The ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboard from any direction," the NCAA's online manual said.
Bill McCabe, the Pac-10 supervisor of officials, confirmed to a pool reporter two hours after the game that a shot that goes over the backboard is illegal.
After speaking to game officials about the ball's trajectory, McCabe said, "It comes right over the corner. The officials said it was too close to call."
Braun's complaint wasn't even directed at the winning shot.
He blamed the Bears' fifth consecutive defeat on a non-call with 15.7 seconds left, when UCLA aggressively double-teamed Ryan Anderson on an inbounds pass after a double-clutch 3-point shot by Kevin Love brought the Bruins within 80-79.
Eric Vierneisel passed the ball to Anderson in the left corner, where he immediately was swarmed by Russell Westbrook and Shipp.
All three players tried to get a handle on the loose ball, and when it went out of bounds, the referee signaled UCLA possession. TV replays from multiple angles were inconclusive as to which player last touched the ball.
"Ryan Anderson was fouled to stop the clock. He was fouled," Braun said. "They instructed their players to foul him. And they fouled him. And (the officials) didn't call the foul.
"I watched (the replay) three times. Nothing changes my mind that it was a missed call."
Said Anderson, "We're inbounding the ball, they're supposed to foul. They clearly tackled me. Maybe not tackled, but they hit me, and I fell to the ground."
At that point, controversy was just beginning to gain a head of steam.
UCLA inbounded to Darren Collison, whose shot was blocked by Jamal Boykin, the ball going out of bounds with six seconds left. Shipp got the ball on the subsequent inbound and dribbled the right baseline against Vierneisel's tight defense.
"The guy cut me off," Shipp said. "I was trying to get on the (front) side of the backboard. I was forced to shoot from the other (back) side. It was one of those h-o-r-s-e shots."
None of Shipp's teammates disputed that the ball sailed over backboard.
"I didn't think it was going to come down to throwing it over the backboard to get it in," Love said. "But hey, we'll take it."
"I was looking at it and thought, 'Aw dang, it was going over the backboard,' " UCLA senior Lorenzo Mata-Real added.
A Cal spokesman said later that Braun asked officials about the shot and was told it was not subject to review.
The final scene spoiled perhaps the best performance of the season by the Bears (15-14, 6-12), who had won just once in seven previous games to slide into ninth place.
Cal never trailed after the opening 21/2 minutes, leading by as many as 11 points in each half against the Bruins (28-3, 16-2), who have won three straight Pac-10 regular-season titles and are expected to be a No. 1 seed next Sunday when NCAA Tournament pairings are announced.
"We outplayed UCLA," Braun said.
Boykin, who equaled his career-high with 18 points, said he and his teammates had no doubt they were going to win. But he said the outcome will fuel them Wednesday when they return to Los Angeles for the Pac-10 tournament.
"One, it gave us confidence that we can play with any team," Boykin said. "Two, it's put a rage in us. I've never seen guys on this team this mad after a loss."
Anderson, who scored 21 points, certainly was seething.
"That game was just ours," he said. "It's just sad to see it went away the way that it did. Honestly, it's a game we can actually say we can't blame ourselves."

After getting this product I stopped worrying about the data at my office when I wasn't there. We have a Raid 5 configuration and the ability to quickly and easily hot swap the drives as needed means we have continual redundancy. It is easy to manage and what's even better, I don't have to call the IT guy every time it makes a beep.

The best example of a client server model is web browsers and web servers.
To understand how client server networks operate, you need to have a clear idea of what the key terms stand for.
The process goes like this; the client sends the server a request for data, the server will process the request and produce the closest results to a request and send them back to the client. The machines acting as server and client are usually separate, but this is not a rule. Often a machine which is acting as a server for another machine, can be a client for other servers. (some popular client server based applications include email, ftp and web services). Many home networks are unintentionally client server models ( the broadband routers used contain DHCP servers that provide IP addresses to the home computers, other network servers include print and backup servers).The client server approach to networking is beneficial for many reasons, firstly connections do not have to be fixed and can be made per requirement, secondly many users can gain access to database applications, thirdly creating software is much easier because it supports the modular approach to software building. In addition as opposed to peer-to-peer which is easy to expand, client server networks are more adept with regards to data security.

Did the Giants Play Possum to Win?
Your more sensitive NFL fans undoubtedly suffered from bruised aesthetic sensibilities during Eli Manning's ultra-ugly 2-for-13 2-for-11 start in the New York Giants' Week 2 win, but members of Manning's receiving corps suffered injuries that were more painful and more literal: Mario Manningham sustained a concussion, and an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament led to receiver Domenik Hixon's being placed on season-ending injured reserve on Wednesday.
And yet, as the NFL gears up for Week 3 and the Giants deal with a rash of very real injuries, fake injuries are the talk of the NFL.
This goes back to Monday night, when a pair of Giants – safety Deon Grant and linebacker Jacquian Williams – suffered simultaneous cramps against the St. Louis Rams. Whether or not those cramps were real or an unusually soccer-ish bit of rule-gaming depends on whom you ask. Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith, among others, blustered that they were flagrantly false. "Two New York Giants blatantly faked injuries on Monday night to give their defense time to change personnel," he harumphed, "pretending to be hurt to gain an advantage in a violation of all the basic principles of good sportsmanship and fair play." Deon Grant, for his part, offered an unusually colorful rebuke – colorful in that it contains the words "I'm not no duck or no dummy" – to that point of view. (Williams has not discussed the matter with the press.) Whatever the case, it certainly doesn't look all that good on replays.
Which explains why Rams quarterback Sam Bradford was howling at the Giants sideline during the game, and why the Rams filed a formal complaint with the NFL. Taken in conjunction with another suspected bit of over-emoting on Sunday from Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips in an attempt to slow down the Patriots' no-huddle attack, and it was probably inevitable that the NFL would issue something very much like the sternly-worded memo on phantom injuries it sent out on Wednesday. None of which is to say that fake injuries are new, or that anyone expects them to stop.
"Gamesmanship has been around as long as the game itself, and NFL history — as well football at lower levels — is littered with examples of players using feigned injuries to their advantage," Sam Farmer writes in the Los Angeles Times. "Even in cases when the intent seems obvious, officials are not in a position to decide whether an injury is real or staged. The league doesn't want them making that determination, especially with the renewed emphasis on player safety."
Faking an injury, for all the tough talk in the NFL's memo, is the sort of crime to which players must confess in order for the league to issue a punishment. To borrow a phrase, that player would have to be a duck or a dummy, which means that, when it comes to rolling-on-the-turf histrionics, American football seems likely to look a lot like the rest of the world's when circumstances demand it.

Ron Artest has been many things during his NBA career: a pariah and a champion, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year and (most recently) the winner of the league's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. But one thing that Artest showed during a mercifully brief stint on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," is that he has never really been much of a dancer. Artest was eliminated in the show's first cut – which means, among other things, that a television audience decided that they'd rather see perpetually fuming CNN personality Nancy Grace clomp around than watch another Ron-Ron cha-cha.
At Yahoo, Eric Freeman saw the elimination of the Artest, now known as Metta World Peace, as inevitable. "World Peace is a bizarre person who cannot be described in the simple hero/villain terms that guide most of our modern cultural discourse. 'DWTS' is fundamentally a simple show built on well-established marketing strategy," Freeman writes. "If he was going to succeed on this ratings juggernaut, it was going to have to be on his own terms, which, incidentally, stand against the founding principles of the series itself." A nation of basketball fans will need to look elsewhere – if, inevitably, someplace less embarrassing – for its fix.

Mike Modano's decision to spend his 21st and final NHL season in Detroit after two brilliant decades with the North Stars/Stars organization wasn't that hard to understand. Modano grew up with the Red Wings as his hometown team, after all, and wanted a last shot at a Stanley Cup. Instead he got hurt, fell out of the rotation, and – to complete an anticlimactic end to a brilliant career – chose Facebook as the venue on which to announce his retirement. But if Modano's final year as a NHL player didn't go perfectly, his greatness as both a player and an ambassador for the game in Minnesota and the former hockey hinterland of Dallas during the years that preceded it still seem like enough to earn Modano a spot in hockey history as the game's greatest American-born player.
"What made Modano special weren't the stats or the championships — although bringing a Stanley Cup to Dallas in 1999 and then returning to the Final the following year is a hell of a way to establish a fan base," Yahoo's Greg Wyshynski writes. "It was that American hockey fans of a certain age finally had a player born on our soil that we could pretend to be while firing pucks at the net in our driveway." At ESPN, Richard Durrett remembers Modano's work in turning Dallas into a hockey town.

Sports is not one of the many manifestly debauched things for which Tijuana is known. But sports – boxing, jai alai and, more recently, soccer – have their place in Tijuana's long history as a place where amusement and danger have always kept close company. As Grantland's Bryan Curtis discovered, sports also have a humble, fascinating, brick-and-mortar place of their own in the rough, suffering Tijuana of today. "The Tijuana Sports Hall of Fame," Curtis writes, "may be the most perfect encapsulation of Tijuana ever built."

America in the Global Economy
The new administration preparing to take power in Washington faces not only a domestic economic mess but a global one as well. The world's economies now are so intertwined that the problems in the U.S. have dragged down other nations, and there's little chance a new American president can oversee a full recovery at home without a parallel recovery abroad.
The members of the Journal's CEO Council task force on the global economy saw in this situation some immediate needs. Above all, they called for a quick international economic stimulus plan, marked by efforts by cash-rich countries to pump up demand, as well as moves by the new leaders in Washington to embrace free and open trade practices. But they also called, with equal urgency, for long-term steps to keep the U.S. competitive as the world recovers, especially a significantly better education system.
Stephanie A. Burns Chairman, President and CEO, Dow Corning Corp.
Antonio M. Perez Chairman and CEO, Eastman Kodak Co.
Frederick W. Smith Chairman, President and CEO, FedEx Corp.
Yang Yuanqing Chairman, Lenovo
Charles E. Schumer (D., New York)
Gerald F. Seib, the Journal's executive Washington editor, moderated the task force's discussion. Here are edited excerpts of the discussion of their priorities.
GERALD SEIB: Let's start with the item that was clearly at the top of our agenda, which is trade.
YANG YUANQING: I believe most of us in this room are in favor of free trade and globalization. Actually, free trade is still one of the foundations of today's global economy.
Lenovo and very few other Chinese companies are in the U.S. market but you see U.S. brands in China everywhere — IBM, Intel, Google, Starbucks and McDonald's.
For those global companies it is very difficult to see growth here in the U.S. market, but they still could keep growing in other markets, especially emerging markets. So I think that is very important for the U.S. economy. Free trade is helping relieve the pain of the crisis now.
Even though we are facing this severe economic crisis, we could not stop the trend of free trade. So our group suggested that the Obama administration embrace and try to close the Doha Round as soon as possible.
We also discussed competitiveness. Decide what skills you need to develop. Then establish a better educational training system to ensure long-term competitiveness.
MR. SEIB: So trade was at the top of the list. Antonio is going to talk about some discussions we had on taxes, which have both short-term and long-term effects.
ANTONIO PEREZ: With regard to taxes, we talked about corporate taxes and we looked at them in two ways, short term and long term.
When we looked at the short term, we were looking for something that would create an immediate stimulus to the economy. Something that, in our view, will be easier to implement and will make most of the American companies more competitive.
So we looked at three things. First, do not extend the corporate tax to offshore earnings. Number two, create a temporary tax reduction for repatriation of earnings. This is very similar to what was done during 2004, I believe, and it brought more than $300 billion into the country. Obviously, that amount of money would create, in our view, a very healthy stimulus to the economy.
And then third, expense the capital expenditures immediately.
The combination of those three, we think, is going to create a very fast and large stimulus to the economy and will make American companies more competitive. And those things should be easy to implement.
Then we moved into the long term. What should be the corporate tax rate for American companies? The ultimate objective for the group was wherever we have to compete, we want to compete in a way that would level the playing field, whether it is in the U.S. or outside of the U.S.
Obviously, the words "lower the corporate rate tax" appeared in almost any scenario that we thought about, but the idea was that we do not want to be disadvantaged with anybody in any place where we're competing.
Global Stimulus
FREDERICK SMITH: The group felt strongly that the U.S. could not recover unless there was a global recovery. And that the president-elect at the G20 in April should promote global stimulus in the cash-rich countries in order to stimulate their domestic demand.
Now a lot of that is already under way. China has a major stimulus package, Russia has one and so forth. But that would be an imperative to get the U.S. economy back on track.
At the same time, there was a lot of thought along the lines suggested by Ambassador Charlene Barshefsky [the former U.S. trade representative, who spoke in an earlier session] that the U.S. should consider unilateral elimination of tariffs on products from developing countries. And I would reiterate what she said: the country collects in total about $26 billion in tariffs.
About half — $13 billion — comes on 5% of the imports. And those 5% come from the most impoverished countries in the world, including countries where there are significant national-security issues, like Pakistan.
MR. SEIB: And then, finally, a lot of concern about an educated work force.
STEPHANIE BURNS: This was the fourth priority from our group, and I link an educated work force to our global competitiveness and to our economic prosperity. It is so crucial for innovation, for economic growth and for ultimate competition on a global basis.
There were two major components around an educated work force. One centered around retraining and re-educating people who are displaced, whether it be due to productivity or other actions. We need a mechanism, and we feel that the private sector should take a strong lead in partnering in that mechanism to retrain and re-educate the work force.
And then second, the priority on education itself. We felt so strongly about it that we added it to our own priority here around an educated work force.
And that translates into enacting, through this education priority, standards for assessing performance within the schools, standards for student performance, clear accountabilities for performance and funds for teaching excellence, pay for performance.
For this group, a priority on math and science education was critical. I lead a chemical company. The chemical industry employs 80,000 chemists and engineers in the U.S. We struggle to get the talent out of the universities that we need here in America.
And many of the Ph.D. students coming out of the U.S. school system are foreign nationals. They have difficulty getting green cards. They go back to their home countries. We have difficulty attracting and retaining that talent.
So a clear priority on education. We believe that a partnership to help deliver on that priority in the private sector is worth our time, worth our investment and worth our engagement. And we recommend that the new President and the new administration take this on in full force.
We need a work force that is skilled in delivering trade talent that is 21st century and beyond so that talent can operate equipment, can do the kinds of things that are required in our facilities that are very different than what was needed 50 years ago, in terms of trades and talent.
And then there was a fair amount of discussion around immigration policies and the need to open those policies to bring foreign nationals into our school systems, as well as give companies the flexibility to move employees around the world, whether that be short-term or long-term assignments.
We are all bogged down in the bureaucracy and the inability to bring our work force to the countries that we need them to work in on a very flexible basis.
The Senator's Response
CHARLES SCHUMER: What has created the change in this election is declining middle-class incomes. The average American, the median, from 2001 to 2007 went down from $48,000 to $46,000. That is before the recession and all the economic problems.
The country was prosperous, but in this global economy that is technologically driven, the prosperity does not trickle its way down the way it used to. That is because probably we deal in intangibles. The same kind of wealth is created and good ideas matter as much as they ever did but the creator of the ideas is able to capture more of the income. And so how do we deal with this?
Take Henry Ford's great idea, the car. He needed lots of people to make the cars, sell the cars, service the cars. He became very wealthy, and he should have. And then, he created a million people who made $10,000.
The bookend of that would be Bill Gates and Microsoft. They also mass produced something, a computer platform. Because it was fundamentally an intangible, he created 10,000 people who made a million dollars.
Both are equally important to society. Both created wealth. That is our problem. It is technology that has created the global economy and global competitiveness. And in a democratic society, if middle-class incomes are going to continue to decline, you are not going to have people buy into the program. They are going to want some kind of change.
The Top Five Recommendations
A new trade agenda will require enhancing U.S. competitiveness through investment in basic R&D, health care and education, a better social safety net at home, and a focus in negotiations on the fastest-growing sectors. President-elect Obama should embrace and complete the Doha Round. That would counter fears of protectionism and display U.S. leadership, and completion is more feasible under a new administration. As a next step, lead the World Trade Organization to move on to sector-by-sector agreements.
Enact short-term, pro-competitive tax changes that will have immediate stimulative impact. Make a temporary reduction or elimination of the tax on earnings that companies repatriate to the U.S., which will stimulate the economy here. Expense capital expenditures immediately.
The U.S. can't recover economically without a global recovery. This will require crafting an international effort to provide liquidity, coordinate stimulus plans. President-elect Obama should use the April G20 meeting to promote global stimulus in which capital-rich countries stimulate domestic demand. Unilateral elimination of U.S. tariffs on products from developing countries.
President-elect Obama should ask businesses to lead in the actions necessary to build a competitive work force for the immediate and long term. Emphasis should be on improved K-12 education, intellectual capital creation.
Over the long term, lower the corporate tax rate to increase American competitiveness. Avoid double-taxing money coming into the U.S. from American firms bringing earning back into the country. These steps would level the playing field. Do not extend the corporate tax to offshore earnings.
So how do you create constructive change? Barack Obama realizes that, of course, we have to trade in the global world and it should be to our advantage. We are an innovative society.
But to make the changes, you need to cushion the blow. We need business to join in with us much more on cushioning the blow. There is no money for trade-adjustment assistance. None. Three hundred steelworkers lost their jobs in Syracuse. They have waited four years and they are still waiting.
Dealing with some of these short-term tax changes, certainly I would be for, and I think you will find most of the Senate and the House, Democrats and Republicans, being for cutting the short-term tax rate on investment and innovation, and that is probably a very profitable area to pursue early next year.
For the long term, the only real answer is education. And if I had one major criticism of the business community, we do not hear from you enough on education, which is our future. It is not just our future in terms of skilled jobs, which is important. If we have the best education, we will stay No. 1 and there will be lots of jobs that pay a lot and incomes will go up.
If you want to say teachers should be held to higher standards, you are going to have to pay them more. When you say you are going to have tough standards and we are going to have to fire you and here is a 3% raise, forget it.
If you were to really raise the salaries and tie it to standards, you could have a grand compromise and really help improve our education.
And that would be my plea to you because education in this campaign did not get the priority it deserves for the future of America.
ALAN MURRAY [deputy managing editor of The Wall Street Journal]: Senator, federal dollars in education are a fairly small part of the pie. There was a suggestion that we take what there is in federal dollars and devote that to teacher excellence. Would you be in favor of that?
SEN. SCHUMER: I would. But I would be for greatly increasing the pot. Schools now are funded by property taxes. The typical math teacher in America is the English teacher who has taught for 12 years and the geometry teacher who is 60, probably a woman or a person who went into teaching because they wanted to avoid the draft. And they say, OK, English teacher, read the geometry book over the summer. You are teaching geometry. She hates geometry. She does not know geometry and the students think it is terrible.
So Lamar Alexander, Republican Senator from Tennessee, and I passed a bill. It is now law. It is an authorization that says, if you get out of school and you have majored in math or science, the federal government will pay for a nine-month course to teach you how to teach. You have to pass two tests. A knowledge test of the subject — math, biology, whatever — and a pedagogical test.
And if you pass both those tests every year, the federal government augments your salary by $20,000 a year.
And it is law. And guess who supported it? The AFT [American Federation of Teachers]. One of the two teachers' unions. Because they were willing, for a significant increase in money, to get rid of their old shibboleth that a gym teacher and a math teacher should be paid the same.
We desperately need your help because frankly, education is not a federal issue right now. And it will not get the priority that it needs unless you really get involved.
MS. BURNS: We've got a heck of a lot of people retiring. And I am just wondering if there is not a way to engage these retirees more, get them in the classroom until the system catches up with talented teachers who have majored in their field, who are adequately paid.
SEN. SCHUMER: That is a very good idea. The No. 1 thing that influences how well a student does in school is their families and the values the families teach them. Number two is quality, not quantity, of teachers. Bill Clinton was wrong. He said, reduce class size. The unions like that. But I would much rather have, and I think the educators who study this would much rather have, a really good teacher of 23 kids than a mediocre teacher of 18.
MR. SEIB: My perception here is of ships passing in the night. This morning the discussion of education started with someone saying, 'I wish the new administration would involve us in improving education.' You come and you say, you, in the business community, need to get more involved in improving education. Why is this not happening?
SEN. SCHUMER: Well, all I can tell you is, I see lots of businesses. And they come in and lobby on everything. And rare is the business that comes in and lobbies on education. And here is what we really need.

Former IRS worker used powers for ill; sentenced to 9 years for fake tax returns
A former IRS
agent employee from Mansfield has been sentenced to nearly nine years in prison for filing dozens of fake tax returns.
Thomas Willard Richardson pleaded guilty in federal court last year to the 2006 theft — an attempt to steal nearly $8 million from the government so he could open a real estate business.
"Essentially, Mr. Richardson endeavored to trick the IRS into loaning him the money necessary to begin the real estate venture," reads a plea agreement he signed in August. "And then repay the IRS prior to the IRS realizing what had happened.
"Unsurprisingly, this plan was short-lived."
Working with a partner "he knows only as 'Larry Johnson'," the plea reads, Richardson obtained the names and social security numbers of 58 people, using them to file 29 fraudulent tax returns.
Richardson expected his real estate business would be so successful that he could amend the returns and return the money before the government got wise to the scheme. But his bank got wise first.
Wachovia employees were suspicious when they noticed the IRS deposit nearly $1.9 million from seven tax returns into Richardson's account in May 2006. The bank froze the account and notified the IRS — which was able to reclaim nearly all the money.
While prosecutors say Richardson used his inside knowledge of the IRS to perpetrate the fraud, it was his mysterious partner "Larry Johnson" who made it possible. According to the plea, Johnson obtained the 58 taxpayers' social security numbers by "some method unknown to Mr. Richardson."
Larry Johnson disappeared shortly after the scheme fell apart, the plea states. "And despite his best efforts, Mr. Richardson has been unable to locate him."

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte on Friday congratulated New Hampshire's 157th Air Refueling Wing, based at Pease Air National Guard Base, on receiving the prestigious Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.
The award from the secretary of the Air Force recognizes a unit's exceptionally meritorious service or outstanding achievement. This marks the 11th time the 157th has received the award.
"This recognition is a testament to the 157th's exceptional service in providing the best tanker support in the Air National Guard," stated Shaheen and Ayotte, both members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "As the Air Force continues its evaluation process for the KC-46A, this award further demonstrates why the 157th is an ideal unit to receive the next generation tanker."
Shaheen and Ayotte recently announced Pease is one of five Air National Guard installations under consideration as a candidate to receive the new KC-46A air refueling tanker, which will replace the KC-135s that the Guard refueling wing currently flies out of Pease. In meetings with Air Force officials over the past year, Shaheen and Ayotte have praised the 157th Air Refueling Wing and highlighted Pease's advantages as an ideal location to base the KC-46A.
The Air Force is expected to begin site surveys of candidate bases to assess each location against operational and training requirements, potential impacts to existing missions, housing, infrastructure, and manpower. Once the surveys are complete, the Air Force will select preferred and reasonable alternative locations and begin an environmental impact analysis process this spring. The selected Air National Guard base will receive aircraft beginning in the U.S. government's Fiscal Year 2018.

Ahh, the whine of the engine, the click of the valves and the growl of the exhaust note. If you crave twisty roads, they're just minutes away from Nashville ... Nashville, Indiana, that is.
A happy little tourist town 60 miles south of Indianapolis, Nashville is located in the heart of Southern Indiana. Encircled by steep forested hills, Nashville is nestled in the valley where Routes 46 and 135 meet. It's home to one of Indiana's best motorcycle rides.
On Saturdays from May to October, motorcycles line both sides of the streets. Riders relax, eat and shop between rides to Bloomington on Routes 46 and 45, or explore back roads with names like Greasy Creek, Grandma Barnes and Bear Wallow.
Nashville has ample overnight accommodations and entertainment options. It's a few miles from the Bill Monroe Music Park and Bluegrass Hall of Fame, the Little Nashville Opry and Bean Blossom Drag Strip.
The county is also home to Brown County State Park, the state's largest. The park is fun to putter around in while viewing the lush landscape.
One of the best Brown County rides is Route 135 south from Nashville to Salem. As soon as Route 135 splits from Route 46, there are 25 miles of curves — sweet, beautiful sweepers, S-curves and chicanes.
For the first five miles, the road runs through a deep valley following a small creek. Many homes dot this stretch of road and the traffic can be heavy, but the road becomes less populated south of Stone Head at Bellsville Road. There the road turns west and hugs the northwestern edge of a large farm valley following the wavy contours of the hillsides.
The next town is Story, and as soon as it disappears from the mirror, the road comes alive. The next 15 miles is a real roller coaster, as the road snakes back and forth, and up and down.
As Route 135 leaves Brown County, the road climbs to the top of a ridge and the landscape changes. The features becoming less sharp with more rolling hills. The next 30-mile section, from Freetown to Salem, is less technical riding, but the countryside is beautiful and the ride is inspiring. What more could you ask for in a motorcycle ride?
From Indianapolis — 60 miles south
From I-65 — 16 miles west
Where: Nashville, Ind., 16 miles west of I-65 on Route 46.
Why: Twisty roads, Brown County State Park and the Lake Monroe Reservoir.
Best-Kept Secret: The tenderloin sandwich at the Food and Fuel, Gnaw Bone, five miles east of Nashville. Their sandwiches have been featured on the Today Show and in Gourmet Magazine.
Scenic routes: Take Route 135 55mi south to Salem. The loop from Nashville to Bloomington is also a great ride: Go east on Route 46, west on Route 45 and south on Route 135 for 45mi of fun. Riding through Brown County State Park is also very scenic. The main entrance is two miles east of Nashville on Route 46.
Avoid: Beware of foreign-made knick-knack souvenirs. Many shops feature items made by Brown County artists and artisans.

Negotiations to reopen libraries are complicated enough that Jackson County commissioners determined Thursday that Ashland officials will not be allowed to weigh in on a contract with a private company to operate all 15 branches.
"If they blame anybody, they can blame us," said Commissioner C.W. Smith.
He said he was disappointed to see the rhetoric from Ashland become malicious as the county negotiates a contract with Library Systems and Services LLC (known by the acronym LSSI), a Maryland-based library management company.
"In time, those people will be ashamed," said Smith.
The county is negotiating a contract to operate the library system for $4.3 million, or about half the former budget before libraries were closed April 6 and half the number of hours of operation.
At the same time, Ashland will vote on a levy on Sept. 18 that city officials promised would be used to augment hours of operation.
County officials agreed that if Ashland wants to take over control of its library building, they wouldn't stand in its way.
"If they want to take the branch, they can have the branch," said County Administrator Danny Jordan.
But he estimated that if Ashland decides to operate its library independently of the rest of the county system, it could cost about $2.5 million.
Ashland City Administrator Martha Bennett sent the county a memo last Friday outlining 20 issues the city has with the contract.
