We reported earlier today that dark
clouds were looming over Research In Motion. This afternoon, RIM announced
its fiscal Q2 earnings [PDF]
and things aren't looking so pretty. The company reported net income of $695
million for the quarter compared to $934 million in fiscal Q1. Its fiscal Q2
earnings were also down compared to the $769 million in made in the same
quarter last year.
RIM stock is taking a beating in after hours trading,
currently down 15.11
percent to $29.93.
When it comes to hardware sales, RIM announced that it
shipped over 13 million BlackBerry smartphones and roughly 500,000 Playbook
tablets. RIM wouldn't specify how many Playbooks it has actually sold at
this point.
For his part, RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsille had this to say about
this company's performance during fiscal Q2:
2012 has gotten off to a challenging start. The slowdown we saw in the first
quarter is continuing into Q2, and delays in new product introductions into the
very late part of August is leading to a lower than expected outlook in the
second quarter. RIM's business is profitable and remains solid overall with
growing market share in numerous markets around the world and a strong balance
sheet with almost $3 billion in cash. We believe that with the new products
scheduled for launch in the next few months and realigning our cost structure,
RIM will see strong profit growth in the latter part of fiscal 2012.
As a result of its latest misfortunes, RIM also announced
that it will "streamline operations", which means that a
"headcount reduction" will take place. RIM didn't go into specifics
on how many workers will lose their jobs, but the company has a current
workforce of about 17,500 employees.
quote: The quarter for Research in Motion (RIMM) was devastating, sending shares down over 14% in the after market, confirming my warnings for RIM investors. The company has a big problem on its hands: It's lost its mojo to Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG). While RIM is selling more devices each year, it's been making a lot less from each sale, courtesy of fierce competition from the iPhone and Android.In 2006, RIM earned $136 on every Blackberry it sold before taxes. That was before the iPhone was launched in 2007. Ever since, it's been downhill for RIM, marked by a dwindling operating profit on each cell phone. In its most recent quarter, the company made $65 on each device. The profound drop isn't done: The company issued weak guidance. Right now, RIM's operating income per device sold is $65; that's going lower as the company is forced to sell at lower prices and margins.Compare Apple's robust profits per unit through the years, helping Apple clobber RIM. Apple has been able to earn more money every year per unit sale of its devices -- iPhones, iPads, computers, and iPods. While RIM's profits on each sale have halved, Apple's have more than quadrupled. RIM's underperformance is incredible when you remember the companies sell their products in the same space. Research in Motion's numbers wouldn't be so bad if they occurred in a vacuum, but they don't. Pay particular attention to Research in Motion's drop in operating income per device from 2008 to 2009 as the iPhone began to take off.

You may need to worry about more than lipstick on your teeth the next time you pucker up.
A new analysis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shows that 400 of the most popular lipsticks on the market contain traces of lead, the Washington Post reported.
Five lipsticks made by L'Oreal and Maybelline ranked among the top 10 most contaminated of the cosmetics, according to the FDA tests. Two Cover Girl and two NARS lipsticks also landed in the top 10, as did one made by Stargazer.
The least contaminated lipstick was also the least expensive: Wet & Wild Mega Mixers Lip Balm.
FDA officials told Reuters in a statement that the levels found in testing are safe, and nothing new.
Reports of lead in lipstick date to the 1990s, and have resurfaced periodically since then.
"The FDA did not find high levels of lead in lipstick," the FDA said in a statement. "We developed and tested a method for measuring lead in lipstick and did not find levels that would raise health concerns."
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics maintains that any amount of lead in cosmetics is too much.
"There is no safe level of lead exposure," Stacy Malkan, co-founder of Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, told ABC. "It builds up in the body over time. A little bit every day is adding up and staying with you."

on December 20, 2012 - 1:00 AM
I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for the world to end.
As the date has gotten nearer and nearer, and people are talking more and more about it, I've been getting a bit more nervous. "There's no way!" I tell myself, glaring at the pair talking about it at the next lunch table. "We're fine!" I think, stomping past as people laugh about the end of school forever. It's been like this since September, with the fated end of the world – Dec. 21, 2012, tomorrow, the day when the Mayan calendar predicts it will end – looming. I get shivers just thinking about it (I'm not ready for fire and brimstone!). And Friday!? Really?! We couldn't even get through Christmas!? That's just too cruelly bizarre for me.
I decided I needed to get to the bottom of it. I'd find out all I could about this date and see, as a staunch believer in life after 12/21, if I could be convinced that the Mayans were right. If not, I had to stand up, make my case, and defy one of the world's greatest early civilizations and a prediction that has existed for centuries.
I proposed this to my friends. "Who's with me!?" I cried, punching my fist in the air. I looked at them. They stared back at me, blinking. There was some awkward throat clearing. I put my hand down. I think I lost them somewhere between "greatest civilization" and "centuries." "Aw, come on, you guys! Ya gotta help me out on this one! You can't really believe the world's gonna end!?" I had to pry it out of them – "Rainah," they said reluctantly, "we just really can't know ..." I sighed. The conversation shifted.
I'll be getting to the bottom of this solo. And where does one start any epic research project? On horseback, of course, traveling valiantly to South America to find the ancient calendar hidden among the ancient Mayan ruins. Unfortunately, my parents weren't willing to agree to that plan, even when I emphasized that the fate of humanity depended on it, so I resorted to plan B.
I stoically punched The End of the World 2012 into the Google bar, and held my breath in frantic anticipation for the .36-second pause. I smile fondly. Google comes through for me again: 198 million results.
I clicked on the first: "NASA: Why the World Won't End."
Over the course of the year, NASA has received thousands of questions regarding the 2012 doomsday predictions, from planetary alignment to the polar shift theory to giant solar storms. According to the scientists, the story began with Nibiru, or Planet X, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians (an ancient civilization in Mesopotamia) that was supposed to impact the world in May 2003. When May 2003 left the Earth intact, the date was then moved forward to December 2012. Strike one: There have been earlier botched predictions.
"The Mayan calendar," I was pleased to read, "does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012." Our calendars end on Dec. 31 and start again on Jan. 1 of the next year – ancient Mayan calendars do the same, on Dec. 21." Phew. Strike two: The calendar doesn't even end.
One out of 198 millions results done, I read my way through five or six more, all that gave increasingly scientific explanations why the world was not going to end. After trying to unravel the evidence and theories of National Geographic and Ask-an-Astrobiologist, I felt two things beyond a doubt: 1. I will never have a career doing anything remotely related to astrobiology and 2. The world is safe. Science is right, people! We are going to live for Christmas!
But ... that was easy. Too easy. On a whim, I dug a little deeper. And a little more until I was surrounded on the other side of the TEOTWAWKI (The End Of the World As We Know It) spectrum. With every site, I found new conspiracy theories and videos and books and build-your-own-safety-house guides until I was so awed by the multitude of (crazy) predictions. At the end of an hour, I had 20 tabs open and felt extremely uneasy. My simple NASA conclusion had not prepared me for what was to come. It was surreal, it was sci-fi, it was everywhere. It was the aliens.
I'm not even kidding. It's the aliens. Do what you will with the information, and please, if you're an alien, don't come and hunt me down.
In 1995, Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk, revealed herself to be able to receive messages from aliens from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She says that she was chosen to warn mankind that an object would destroy humanity in 2003, ah, that is 2012.
A different group reports that alien spaceships, one of which is 200 miles wide, from Planet Gootan are coming to land on Earth (they pinpoint Indonesia) in December. Others say that the government has confirmed evidence of the disaster and are hiding the information. Some argue that the end of the world is a figurative term. December 2012 is not the literal destruction of Earth, but rather the turning point that separates the current era of foolishness and struggle from the time when we right all of the wrongs we have created. Bolivia's president, Evo Morales, for example, has declared that Dec. 21 will be the end of capitalism and will expel Coca-Cola from the country on that date to mark the end of selfishness.
Coca-Cola? Aliens? Really? But if you're still unsure, sites are selling everything from individual disaster shelters to safety rocks (literal rocks) that will protect you during the next few days.
So basically, it comes down to personal preference: Is NASA, the government and science the legit basis of evidence? If so, then continue wrapping your Christmas gifts because the world will live on! Or are the higher alien beings the real way to determine what Friday holds? If so, I'd seriously look into buying one of those safety rocks.

The Most Important Things Online: WestJet's Christmas Miracle Commercial, the Dr. Who Christmas Trailer and More
You're lugging around a bulky coat. The lines at the airport are unbearable. And there's always someone insufferable on your plane (and, usually, sitting right next to you).
But it doesn't have to be an express jet to hell. This year, WestJet pulled off the sweetest "miracle" for passengers, with a little help from Santa and his elves (er, their employees). Santa asked passengers what they wanted for Christmas – only to find their presents coming down the baggage shoot when they arrived at their destination.
Plus: Another video that will make you weep, more that will make you laugh, the trailer for the Dr. Who Christmas special, and more of the most important random things online.
WestJet's Commercial Fulfills Passengers' Christmas Wishes
Even though the guy who asked for "socks and underwear" is probably regretting his choice, this ad is sure to make even the Scroogiest of hearts grow three sizes. (At which point, you should probably see a doctor.)

Marvey'o Otey, from Virginia's William Byrd High School, hurled a basketball from behind his back as he was about to head out of bounds – and he made the shot. Then Bugs Bunny and pals showed up to recruit Otey to help them win a basketball game with some evil aliens…oh sorry. That's Space Jam.
The Dr. Who Christmas Trailer Promises Even More Monsters
Half of your timeline is really excited. The other half thinks his name is Dr. Who.
Paul Rudd and Jason Segel Are in an "Altered State" During I Love You, Man Interview
It's an old video, but it just gained traction this week. Probably because Rudd and Segel only now got back from their post-interview Taco Bell run.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Tahoe Music Institute announced its 2012 fall schedule, including new jazz improvisation and youth choir classes in addition to group and private lessons. The local company has struck a chord with musicians of all ages around Lake Tahoe, creating small ensembles lead by knowledgeable instructors and taking the typical music lesson experience to a new level.
Whether picking up a new instrument, developing vocal skills, learning to improv or diving into a new musical style or theory, Tahoe Music Institute students get the most out of their learning with performance-based instruction. TMI creates small ensembles that come together in a supportive atmosphere to work toward two recitals or community performances. This performance-based instruction builds confidence and exposes students to ideas outside of the typical music lesson norm. TMI musicians and instructors have performed at events around Lake Tahoe ranging from holiday treelightings to improv jazz concerts at local restaurants. Tahoe Music Institute founder and executive director Shauna Righellis takes a proactive approach to inspiring her students. "My goal is to create a school of music where students are motivated to perform, not just provide lessons," said Righellis. She and her team of educators continue to influence the Lake Tahoe community's inspiration and creativity with this approach to learning.
Righellis, who launched Tahoe Music Institute in 2010, is in the position of tooting her own horn (or any of the other many instruments she plays). Her background is deeply rooted in music, holding both a bachelor's and master's degree in music education. After teaching music in public schools as well as adult lessons, she channeled her craft into an opportunity for aspiring Lake Tahoe musicians to learn. Righellis uses science-based methodologies in her teaching and stays on the cutting edge of music education research. She also serves as a board of directors member for the California Music Educators Association North Section, of which most private teachers are not a part.
To book a class or learn more, tune into www.TahoeMusicInstitute.com or call 530-581-0618.
About TMI
Tahoe Music Institute, 2810 Lake Forest Road, Tahoe City, offers various music classes and performance-based learning. Instruments currently taught in both private and group classes include piano, bass, guitar, mandolin, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn and tuba as well as choir and voice.

Source: Foss Patents
quote: ou may correct me if I wrong but AFAIK Motorola did offer to license the standards-based patents you are talking about Apple didn't like the terms and used them anyways.
quote: So Motorola first abused it's FRAND commitment by being discriminatory and then asked a ludicrous license amount for the item. This will be struck down by the courts and bodies like the EU but it will tarnish Motorola's (and Google's) reputation.
quote: There is no evidence that anyone else pays anything like 2.5% of the value of the finished goods
quote: What evidence do you have that the particular licensing fee was ludicrous?
quote: icrosoft charges $10-$15 for its patents licensing for Android phones. That's roughly 5-10 percent of the sales revenue.
quote: Also, how is it discriminatory if Motorola offered to license directly to Apple?
quote: Either way, if Apple pays, it gets licensed -- no discrimination.
quote: Basically Apple wants to try to milk the supply chain by buying its way into certain discounted licenses (by exploiting licensing relationships between firms), while refusing to license its overly broad design and technology. That's plain anticompetitive and abusive.
quote: "Fair" is a very ambiguous term. Clearly Qualcomm was a strategic CPU supplier of Motorola, so it might offer the licensing to Qualcomm at a lower rate. If HTC got discounted FRAND CPUs, is that horrible for Motorola? No, it supports the cause.
quote: "Non-discriminatory" does not mean that a company can not license its FRAND IP at a discounted rate (less than the industry standard) or for free to key allies. It also does not mean that it HAS to license to everyone for the same rate. It merely means it cannot seek licensing ABOVE the industry standard, or deny licensing.
quote: Bor Apple -- the top smartphone maker in the world -- it likely does not want to apply the same discount, but rather wants to develop a direct (but fair) licensing relationship, so it can fully profit off its ingenuity.
quote: Seriously dumb (as ever).
quote: talking uninformed drivel again
quote: It's not that simple, though

A private funeral for the actor will be held Friday for 400 people at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan. It's the same church that hosted the funerals of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Lena Horne and Aaliyah.
Hoffman, 46, was found dead Sunday of an apparent heroin overdose in his apartment. He had been open about a past that included addiction and rehab. He leaves behind his partner of 15 years, Mimi O'Donnell, and their three children.
More tests are needed to determine what exactly killed Hoffman, who was found with a syringe in his arm and what authorities said were dozens of packets of heroin in his apartment. Autopsy results were inconclusive, authorities said this week.
A larger memorial service is being planned for later this month. On Thursday evening, family and close friends gathered for a private wake at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan, which has orchestrated funerals for celebrities including Kennedy Onassis and James Cagney.
Hoffman was nominated for Academy Awards four times and won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2006 for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote in Capote. He also was nominated three times for a Tony Award.
Broadway honored him Wednesday night by dimming its lights for a minute, a memorial common for renowned stage actors. Thespians also gathered that night for a vigil.
For much more on this story, including details of Hoffman's final weeks and his life offscreen as a father of three, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now

To keep his promise not to raise taxes, Mayor Byron W. Brown is using millions in surpluses, state funds held by the state-appointed control board and money originally set aside to build a parking ramp.
Using those one-time revenue sources closes a budget gap created by too many expenses and not enough recurring revenue.
Brown's financial management has won praise from his critics, and the city's credit rating is the highest in its history, saving the city and the school district $62 million in interest costs in the last 16 months.
But in a year when Brown will seek election to a third term, the lack of significant new revenue has forced the administration to use funds that will be available just once to pay for expenses that will recur year after year.
To balance the 2013-14 budget, totaling $482.5 million, the city is relying on:
• $12 million from surpluses.
• $12 million in state aid that was being held by the control board.
• $9.6 million from the city's parking operations, which includes money that had been set aside to construct a new ramp. That ramp is now deemed unnecessary because of the emergence of two projects that include privately developed parking structures: The Buffalo Sabres' HarborCenter and Carl P. Paladino's mixed-use development at Erie Basin Marina.
The city is also saving money by putting on hold hiring as older employees retire, equal to 50 positions in the Police, Fire and Public Works departments. The Brown administration insists the city's ultimate year-over-year head count will be the same.
No one expected Brown to break his three-year pledge to freeze property taxes, and he appears to be using nearly every tool at his disposal to keep that pledge.
The tactic that most concerns City Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder is the continued use of fund balance, which rating agencies have been wary about.
"It's a trend that this mayor, or the next mayor, is going to have to deal with," Schroeder said. "You have to be able to have fund balance available, and you can't deplete it."
The city's "A" rating from the three agencies – Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch – has lowered borrowing costs for Buffalo.
And the city's rainy day fund for disasters and unexpected revenue losses is intact, and there are other reserves to cover costs associated with settling union contracts and pending legal claims.
"We feel the city is very well-insulated against a rainy day, and there are a number of reserves in this budget to protect the health of the city fiscally and to protect our taxpayers and residents," Brown said.
The city's unassigned fund balance, or leftover surpluses not set aside for a specific purpose, had $12.2 million when the current budget year began; and though the city will use $12 million in 2013-14, it is projected to have $8.4 million as that fund is replenished from other sources in 2013-14.
In addition to the budget that takes effect July 1, the administration last week filed a four-year plan, which gives a preview of how Brown hopes the city's finances will evolve.
Sometimes those hopes do not line up with reality.
Last year's four-year plan predicted that the city would use only $3.9 million in surpluses to balance the budget in 2013-14. That prediction was off by $8 million.
The new four-year plan contains other questionable estimates, as well.
While the city has been praised for not budgeting for casino revenue that has not materialized, the plan shows the city will use $14 million in slot-machine revenue from the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino over three years beginning in 2014-15.
The casino revenue has not been distributed to the city because of a dispute between the Seneca Nation of Indians and the state.
The four-year plan also calls for an increase in property tax revenue from new buildings and a 1 percent increase in state aid.
The city is also projecting that in future years, its solid-waste operations, which currently cost more than they generate, will become more efficient and that the subsidy required by city taxpayers beyond what they pay in garbage fees will fall from $3.2 million to $2.1 million in 2016-17.
Knowing how the Brown administration is funding its operations in 2013-14 causes concern for Schroeder, but residents will likely appreciate that their property taxes won't go up, and if they own a commercial property, those taxes will be going down by 3.2 percent. City fees also will remain flat.
Total city taxes for residential properties remain at $17.95 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, and for businesses, fall to $28.02.
Reassessments, which haven't been done in three years, won't begin until 2013-14 and won't take effect until the 2015-16 budget.
For senior citizens, Brown's 2013-14 budget includes $50,000 for cooling centers during hot weather and for programming.
For young people, $1.1 million is allocated, expected to fund 1,400 summer jobs.
For neighborhoods, $50,000 is set aside for crime prevention and city beautification.
For the schools, $171,000 is marked for two attendance teachers.
To expand the tax base, $100,000 is planned for a marketing campaign to attract new residents and businesses.
The Brown administration has been criticized for not releasing grants to arts and cultural groups in a timely manner – as of last week, 2012-13 money set aside for the groups July 1 still had not been released. But the mayor's proposed budget includes a new $100,000 competitive grant for these organizations.
For neighborhoods with eyesores, the city plans to demolish about 350 dilapidated structures with funding from a variety of sources.
The $482.5 million budget is about $100,000 less than the current year budget, and includes small increases in revenue from sales tax and parking enforcement, which has been enhanced by license plate readers and by the city's Strike Force, a law enforcement effort that sometimes cites vehicles to be towed.
The use of one-time revenues helps cover a 14 percent increase in pension costs, flat property tax revenues, flat state aid and the loss of $18.7 million in a one-time advance of state aid the city had in 2012-13.
Common Council Member David A. Franczyk of the Fillmore District, often a mayoral critic, praised the administration during a budget hearing last week.
"They're very serious about keeping their fiscal ship very tight, and that's to be applauded," he said.
Though it appears the Brown administration used every available revenue source, officials decided against using a controversial option from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, which would have allowed municipalities to immediately enjoy future savings from employees in a less-generous pension tier.
The city wasn't sure how ratings agencies would view that, and didn't want to take a chance, said Donna J. Estrich, commissioner of administration, finance, policy and urban affairs.
The Council continues its review of the budget this week, and has until May 22 to amend it.
The Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority will review the budget when it meets May 15.

Great!So there is no 7DII?
Quote from: jueming23 on June 28, 2012, 05:13:55 AMGreat!So there is no 7DII?I wouldnt say "no" 7D2 but probabley not anytime soon, my guess is these updates are to try and keep the existing 7D competitive with a new 70D until the mk2 comes out next year.
I'm sorry.... August?
while good news this is not good news for me. I'm sitting on on my 50D waiting with money in the bank waiting for an upgrade to either the 60D or the 7D. New firmware for the 7D means no replacement for the 7D. So now I wait for a 60D replacement or perhaps a cheaper full frame. I have money to burn here Canon, show me something I want

Retributivism, Moral Education and the Liberal State
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Criminal Justice Ethics, Vol. 4, p. 3, 1985
The purpose of this article is mainly to explore some issues of social and political philosophy in order to raise a puzzle for the retributive and moral education theories of punishment. The basic puzzle is this: Are these theories of punishment compatible with a defensible political theory of the state. Encased in many of the contemporary defenders of retributive and moral education theories of punishment is a social and political viewpoint that wavers between liberal and libertarianism. These cannot be consistent and are not consistent.

Hey dude, you should be able to join a new squad. On the squad tab of the loadout screen, just click leave squad on the bottom. Click on the squad you want to join, and then there's an awkwardly placed Join button nearly the bottom left of the loadout screen.

An extremely funny comic book series by Jhonen Vasques(The maker of Invader Zim) about an artistically challenged man named Jonny who (guess what) kills people...and he ALWAYS gets away with it with the aid of his skilled tormentors(Read I Feel Sick 1 & 2. It reveals much more about Jonny's predicament.)Over all a good and hillarious read. And come on, people. Anything by Jhonen is great!!

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one such condition that is chronic, debilitating and associated with serious complications. Patients with active RA can experience joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, tender and swollen joints and loss of mobility. And RA often leads to other serious health conditions, including cardiovascular disease. The bone erosion and joint destruction caused by RA can make even simple tasks difficult and extremely painful and lead to disability. Approximately half of the 1.5 million Americans with RA leave the workforce within ten years of diagnosis. According to a 2010 National Institutes of Health study, the total annual societal cost of RA is $39.2 billion, including $8.4 billion in direct health care costs.[1]
Crescendo Bioscience was founded to help RA patients and their physicians better understand their disease by leveraging scientific advances in molecular-based monitoring that were being used for other medical conditions, like cancer and heart disease. Early and accurate detection of RA, accompanied by effective therapy and frequent assessment of disease activity, is critical to managing the disease.
Vectra DA: Crescendo Bioscience's First Innovative Product For Patients With RA
Vectra® DA, Crescendo Bioscience's first product, was launched in 2010. Vectra DA was groundbreaking because it was the first blood-based test to objectively measure RA disease activity. Until that point, standard methods of assessment were qualitative, subjective and unable to identify the underlying biological changes of the disease. Most physicians relied on clinical assessment (typically done by feeling a patient's painful joints to judge severity of inflammation) to determine disease activity.
There are a number of new, innovative therapies for RA, and a major need exists to help physicians better understand the underlying biology of the disease to manage it more effectively and efficiently. Now, physicians can use Vectra DA to complement their clinical assessment of disease activity in each patient.
Vectra DA measures 12 key biomarkers or proteins associated with RA to create a score that classifies disease activity as low, moderate or high. It helps doctors objectively determine whether their patients are reaching their goal of remission, where disease activity is at a minimum. It can also assess the risk of whether joint damage is likely to occur, and the test can help differentiate RA disease activity from other conditions that the patient may have, including fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Doctors can use Vectra DA to enhance management of their patients.
Offering Patients the Latest Technology to Monitor Symptoms
Since its launch, more than 50,000 RA patients have used Vectra DA. Subsequently, in late 2012, Crescendo Bioscience launched the MyRA app for iPhone, a companion tool for patients that enables them to monitor and record their own day-to-day disease activity on measures including joint pain, stiffness and fatigue. As of May 2013, thousands of people have downloaded the free app. The information collected by MyRA is designed to facilitate better patient-physician communication based upon what rheumatologists have identified as helpful, enabling more efficient and productive doctor visits.
Prior to developing the Vectra DA prototype, Crescendo Bioscience developed a deep understanding of the small but cohesive RA community. The company founders spent extensive amounts of time talking with rheumatologists, asking questions and learning what rheumatologists and their patients really needed to help manage the disease and incorporated their learnings into Vectra DA development.
Why California?
Bill Hagstrom, President and CEO of Crescendo Bioscience, and his team view South San Francisco, California, as the perfect home for Crescendo Bioscience. With an unparalleled pool of scientific and biotechnology talent and expertise, access to industry-savvy venture capital funding and the entrepreneurial spirit of the San Francisco Bay Area, California offers start-up life science companies an innovative and charged atmosphere that promotes the industry's best thinking. Trade groups like BayBio offer synergies that companies would need decades to gain on their own.
Utilizing the business-friendly policies of local and the state government, Crescendo Bioscience was able to establish its CLIA-certified laboratory in South San Francisco, where all Vectra DA testing is performed. Crescendo employs more than 100 Californians in its laboratory and headquarters offices.
Looking Ahead
The Crescendo Bioscience team continues to invest in building trust and developing relationships with its physician community. Crescendo Bioscience works with its academic and pharmaceutical collaborators to conduct clinical trials to show the effectiveness and growing clinical utility of Vectra DA. It has launched numerous industry partnerships to help pharmaceutical companies better understand new therapies that are being developed for RA.
Crescendo Bioscience is evaluating the role of Vectra DA in other autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondilytis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. In the future, the company hopes to develop novel tests that rheumatologists will use to help manage other conditions commonly associated with RA, including cardiovascular disease, to determine which RA therapy might be most effective for a specific patient before the first prescription is ever written, saving patients the drawn-out, often painful process of trial and error they undergo currently as they seek to treat their condition.
In early 2012, Crescendo Bioscience secured Series D funding to help finance the research necessary to bring new tests to market. California-based Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Mohr Davidow and Skyline Ventures are among Crescendo's investors.

I was with my friends there and I can only recommend it. The apartment has everything you need. It's very good located and very quiet, the view from the balcony is breathtaking. With Daniel, everything went very well. It has given us even a few tips on what we can do so.
Ich war mit meinen Freundinnen dort und ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen. Das Apartment hat alles was man benötigt. Es ist sehr gute gelegen und sehr ruhig, die Aussicht vom Balkon ist atemberaubend. Mit Daniel lief alles sehr gut. Es hat uns sogar ein paar Tips gegeben was wir so unternehmen können.
Great flat with an excellent location! Most places worth a visit were in a walking distance of the apartment. Daniel was very helpful with locations and such. The flat was spacious and comfortable. Fast Wifi. Overall a great stay!
The apartment was in an ideal location; close to restaurants, shopping, grocery and baking shops, and most important within walking distance of so many attractions. Daniel was very helpful and gave us an overview of the area, called a taxi for our return home and carried our luggage down (which at that point was very heavy). Just a few recommendations: needs more towels, tea towels, extra sheets and some sharp knives. We stayed for about 5 weeks and really did need more supplies. Caution: we thought it would be on the 2nd floor and it was actually on the 3rd floor and my husband had difficulties with the climbing.
The Appartement was really like described, comfortable, centrally located and fully equipped. Daniel was a quite nice host and was very helpfull. The balcony was a beautyfull place to have a break. Minor critical comments are eventually, that the style of the flat is modern and chic, but not really high class - but due to the excellent value for money, this is acceptable.
Very nice visit to Budapest again. Daniel is very good host and gives You a lot of good information about the city, restaurants, bars etc. Daniels flat has everything that a traveller could need and even more. This flat is located up on a house on the 4th floor but it's easy to go with an elevator. The rooms are in two levels; bedroom, balcony and shower are upstairs and the kitchen with livingroom is downstairs. The sun is shining almost whole day to the balcony, so it's a nice place to take a glass of wine and get back to the city center which is just around the corner. The flat is located near Deak Ferenze Ter-Metro station so it's very easy to find. Daniel speaks english like an englishman and is very helpful. I am sure You'll like this!!!
Daniel was a fantastic host. He recommended a few places. We had a really nice stay in Budapest! The apartment is gorgeous. There was nothing missing. I've been to Budapest a few times and I think the location of the apartment is the best you can get. It's close to the famous szimpla kert, to andrassy ut, shopping area and to other famous places. Everything is within walking distance. There is also a really nice café directly next door.
I can recommend this apartment warmly to everyone!
Daniel is a great host. The apartment is wonderful, clean, big, beautiful and very well ubicated, and Daniel offers you a lot of information about places to visit in Budapest. Recommended host!
We went to Budapest for a long weekend and Daniel was a great host. He was very friendly, helpful,on time and flexible as he let us to check out later on which we really appreciated as it was very cold outside. The flat is exactly what you see on the pictures aldo it's a great location. Really easy to get to anywhere and there are plenty of nice restaurants, pubs, coffee shops. I would really recommend to anyone to stay there as I am sure we will in the future:)
Very good, one more time :)
Very good, as always
- Quality assured accommodation

The Top Five Psychiatry Events of 2013
Five key events in 2013 will leave a longlasting mark on psychiatry. Here: a look at the impact that CPT coding, DSM-5, sunshine laws, a shrinking market for "shrinks," and I-STOP are likely to have on our field.
Psychosis Risk Syndrome Is Back
"Psychosis Risk" can now be diagnosed as "Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome" and used to bill for insurance reimbursement. Many bearing the diagnostic label are young adolescents and adults in whom schizophrenia or any other psychotic disorder will never develop.
My 12 Best Tips on Psychiatric Diagnosis
Here are 12 tips on how best to ensure accurate and safe diagnosis, based on the introduction to Dr Allen Frances' recent book, The Essentials of Psychiatric Diagnosis.
DSM-5 Badly Flunks the Writing Test
Some believe that DSM-5 is filled with glaring mistakes in wording and coding on nearly every page—including some that will undoubtedly cause great confusion.
Can Congress Cure The Disorder In Mental Health?
This past month has been disastrous for health of mental health. One embarrassment has followed another-- leading to a crisis of confidence that is potentially dangerous for those who rely on psychiatric care.
The Role of Biological Tests in Psychiatric Diagnosis
"Psychiatric diagnosis is certainly imperfect -- but so is much of diagnosis throughout medicine. And whatever the current limitations, psychiatric diagnosis is useful and essential. There are no 'paradigm shifts possible til we learn a lot more. To imply otherwise is misleading and confusing to patients."
DSM-5: Where Do We Go From Here?
Education and discussion will be the most powerful ways to mitigate the risks of DSM-5. The more people know about psychiatric diagnosis, the more safe, accurate, and useful it will be.

Some bank on Corridor H being completed sooner rather than later; others not as optimistic
January 18, 2013
BUCKHANNON — The completion of Corridor H might seem miles away to some West Virginians, but Jim Strader is banking on it being done sooner rather than later....
The road to nowhere.

Yeah boys, it's always a terrible idea to give remote areas access to infrastructure. They blood-suckin' takes don't deserve what they're gettin ' now.
[breaks orbital bone while rolling eyes]
In reality good luck getting the Commonwealth of Virginia to fund their portion. Their largess would find no compensation.

Folks here in the Eastern Panhandle are always complaining about being geographically distant from the state capital. Wouldn't this highway shave significant time off the drive to Charleston? Sounds like a great idea to me!
5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I use Corridor H two times a week to get to Grafton, WV from Winchester, VA. It does cut much time and miles off the trip and it gets better each time a new section opens it gets even better. It really is a road to somewhere and it's much needed for WV. Maybe if the environmentalists and the misinformed have not fought against it all of these years it would have been done or not be as costly as time marches on and drives up costs. If these environmentalists were around years ago we probably would not have the interstate highway system as we know it or even one national park.

dspecht, Do you really believe this project will really turn inner WV into a boom town? Take a good look at I-79. Other than the Clarksburg/Morgantown/Charleston areas, show me significant economic growth along that route within WV as a result of that project? The real problem with drawing new commerce to WV has always been its less than friendly business climate and not necessarily physical access.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Danner do not compare I79 with Corridor H if H is completed. Connecting the state to Pittsburgh and western PA is good, but does not compare with the Eastern Corridor to include the harbor in Norfolk. The commerce that will be be going to this area will prove that this road has a purpose and benefit this part of WVA economically. Also a plus are the skiers who will leave work mid afternoon around the beltway and be at Cannaan Valley for Night Skiing, and than enjoy a weekend of fun.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Sunrise, Ski resorts? Oh please. Are you serious? How can you say that with a straight face? And what types of industries will see rapid expansion in that area? I stand by my comments. Once completed, Corridor H will be as successful for economic developement of rural central WV as I-79 has been. Oh, and I'm not complaining about Corridor H. I welcome it as it will allow quicker travel through the central portions of the state. But, to tell me it's about economic developement, you're insulting the intelligence of the taxpayers who know better.
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Danner you have your blinders on. I mention the ski resorts as an after thought. I do not know what world you live in. But having the coal and timber and other natural resources from WVA connecting with Eastern Coastal Region will be an ecomic plus. I am know sorry I mention the sking (which by the way will help the eco.) When the Panama Canal is done in 2015. large Chinese Ships bringing back WVA coal from Norfolk will make you a believer.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Sunrise, ever notice the railroad cars full of coal and timber travelling through this area? Much more efficient to transport by rail than road. That highway will have minimal impact on those industries sending their products to the coast for export because that job already belongs to the rail carriers. Wise up.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Danner I agree about the rail. In fact the Inland Port at Front Royal will be a major player. This port is directly connected to Norfolk. Again the Panama Canal on its big dig will be done in 2015. Ships from Asia will going up and down our eastern seaboard with Norfolk having the deepest harbor. Coal and timber from WVA will leave state by rail and highway. The demande will be there.

Can some one tell me why all the really good anime's have to have a bad ending and not cotinue like Jyu-Oh-Sei Claymore Corpse Princess and Tokko. I Tink they should keep Tokko and Jyu-Oh Sei going i mean those are really awesome shows but theyh always have bad endings!!!!
< Where do the years go >
CronoCrusade, horrible ending and i mean the bad guy was still around. I know a couple of the main characters died but there are still major plays able to continue the show.
D. gray man just ended,the bad guys are still around and thegood guys are stillaround and alive. There was no good ending, it just stopped. I know there are more manga material so they could make more anime, and seriously they never resolved anything about Allen and the fact that hecan control the ark and Kanda, whatis he and how ishe aliveafter the fights he's?I want more D.gray man.

The study deals with analysis in rural water supply in Mbeya region, Tanzania, covering investment as well as operation and maintenance for different technologies. All observations in the report are result of the analysis of piped gravity schemes covering 59 villages and 13 hand pumped schemes. Main factors influencing both capital and running costs identified in the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) supported water project in Mbeya region in Tanzania have been studied. The study has been limited to pipe gravity and hand pumped supplies. Information regarding other types on technology is limited and therefore difficult to assess. Available cost data from the donor agency working in the study area was compiled and analysed. Relevant literature, including physical project progress reports, regarding cost of rural water supplies was reviewed. A seasonal water-use study in selected water systems was carried out to estimate specific consumption. The annual costs, including capital and running costs, per capita of providing improved water supply to rural population in Mbeya region based on DANIDA implementation set-up are given (1989 prices) for gravity piped and hand pumped systems respectively. This is based on direct scheme expenses excluding overheads, and zero rate of return. Cost analysis study should be extended to other project regions of Iringa and Ruvuma to improve accuracy of the study findings. /Kir10

Assistant Researcher
"Dynamics and impacts of 2-year La Niña events"
Abstract: The observational record shows that about 35% of La Niña events last for two years or longer. In contrast, the majority of El Niño events quickly transition into La Niña in less than one year. Historically, the dynamics of La Niña have been considered as the mirror image of El Niño. However, the causes of this asymmetry in the duration of El Niño and La Niña are unknown. This issue is important for the prediction of drought over southern tier of the United States, where persistent La Niña conditions can lead to multi-year drought.
The first part of my talk will focus on the impact of these 2-year La Niña events on drought over North America. In particular, I will explore the physical processes responsible for the observed intensification and expansion of La Niña droughts during the second year. In the second part, I will explore the physical processes responsible for the multi-year persistence of La Niña in the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) – a coupled climate model that simulates 2-year La Niña realistically. Using a nonlinear version of the delayed oscillator equation I will show that a nonlinearity of the delayed thermocline feedback that limits the rate at which heat content anomalies are replenished is responsible for the extended duration of La Niña. To conclude, I will discuss implications for the prediction of the termination of La Niña.

I have trouble hanging on to Christmas traditions. It's not that I don't like the idea of them, it's that I don't like feeling obligated to do the same thing every year. Sometimes, circumstances make certain traditions impractical and I don't want to become the crazy-Christmas mom, doing too many things because it's the way it has always been done.
Yet, I do understand how important routine and ritual are to my children. The problem is, with kids, if you do something once they expect it yearly.
"Are we going to get new Christmas pajamas this year?"
"No, why? You don't need any pajamas."
"But it's tradition."
"It is?"
"Yeah, you bought us some last year."
"I did?" (Sometimes my mommy brain also makes it hard to maintain tradition.)
This year, I found some Christmas jokes in a printable on a blog so I've been putting them in my kid's lunch. Unfortunately, it may become a thing. I can see the future now:
"Hey, Mom, where are the Valentine's Day jokes in my lunch?"
"I don't know any Valentine's jokes."
"But you did it for Christmas."
Maybe I should think more about the consequences of my actions.
However, yesterday I had the opportunity to share one of my family traditions with a friend and I realized what the big deal is with some of these rituals. As I taught her my mom's almond roca recipe and explained what it's supposed to look like in the various stages, I reminisced about my childhood. My gracious friend allowed me to share memories of my parents making candy in a rounded-bottom Club aluminum Dutch oven with no handles. She laughed with me as I talked about my dad holding on to the pan with pliers while he was stirring and how I wasn't brave enough to make the candy by myself until I was 37.
We had an enjoyable day and I understand now that traditions aren't about the candy or the pajamas but about the relationships and memories formed during those times.
I submit to you that more tradition doesn't mean better. I think we are in danger of producing such a culture of expectation with our kids that our efforts get lost in the avalanche of good intention. More can equal less meaningful.
Truth be told, I think we moms are so worried about creating memories that we lose our focus. Sometimes, the kids just want a cup of hot chocolate from the envelope and not the slow-cooking Polar Express version that's making its way around Pinterest. And we need to be OK with that.

A person who prefers to be alone rather than with others. Different from a hermit, a lonewolf will live and work in society rather than hide from it. Can also refer to a person prefers to work alone. They differ from most in that they do not seek out the company of others.

A "Lone Wolf" is someone who keeps to themself, and tends to sit around older kids looking awkward. Although this person may look awkward, DON'T BE FOOLED! This Lone Wolf may be actually pretty cool. They might end up being grouped with the younger kids at larger family functions; generally the "Lone Wolf" is a billion times more mature and less weird than kids their age, however too awkward to hang out with people who are older, henceforth the moniker "Lone Wolf."

Hydraulic oil spill soaks homes in Harborcreek (Updated: 3 p.m.)
A hydraulic oil leak on a tree company boom truck is responsible for soaking two Harborcreek Township homes on Wednesday, the state Department of Environmental Protection said this afternoon.
Two houses on Lowry Road were doused in a yellowish liquid sometime Wednesday. Ray Nowosielski, owner of one of the homes, said he discovered the dousing late Wednesday morning.
Nowosielski and others first thought it was airplane fuel. Fairfield Hose Co. Assistant Fire Chief Ron Hawryliw said he soon learned that a tree company trimming trees on the street had a hydraulic oil leak on Wednesday, so he guessed that was the culprit.
An investigation by representatives of the DEP confirmed it this morning.
Cleanup is under way.

REEDSVILLE - "The Belle of St. Mary's'' has been put out to pasture - quite literally.
Also known by her more common moniker - "The Dairyland Cow'' - the 13-foot-tall, 1,200 pound fiberglass bovine that graced the Dairyland Complex in Reedsville since around the turn of the 21st century has taken up permanent residence at Hameau Farm, near Reedsville.
Hameau Farm is home to Audrey Gay Rodgers, daughter of John R. and Gayle Rodgers, who originally purchased the cow from a friend and fellow-Ayrshire dairyman in St. Mary's.

Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
The Dairyland Cow has been put out to pasture at Audrey Gay Rodgers' farm in Reedsville.
Rodgers, who has an Ayrshire dairy herd as well as a summer camp for girls and some other enterprises at the farm, said she has moved the cow around her pastures because that's the way her more conventional cows are managed.
"It's here in the middle of my field,'' she said. "It's just for fun, We brought it up last fall and we've just been moving it around the field. We rotate the cattle around our pasture and we've been rotating her, too.''
The Dairyland enterprise was founded in the early 1940s as a retail and bottling plant. It was purchased by the Rodgers family in the early 1970s and was operated as a retail outlet for jug milk and ice cream until 1985. In 1986, Gayle Rodgers began developing an antique shop, and the complex eventually included an outdoor flea market, restaurant, gift shop, craft shop and rental facilities.
Since a fire destroyed much of the facility in 2011, the Dairyland complex was sold and closed completely in 2012, and is now slated for demolition. With that, Belle lost her home.
"I wanted it here,'' Rodgers explained. "I have Ayrshire cows here and I thought it'd be a nice way to promote the Ayrshire breed and benefit the summer programs here. We had her in the same pasture as the other cows last fall and they didn't bother it at all.''
The big bovine is permanently mounted on a base with wheels and must be carefully placed relative to the prevailing winds, she noted. That was a lesson learned when a tropical storm with fierce winds came through around the middle of the last decade, toppling the cow "right into the driveway of the Kish Bank.'' With a repaired ear and some repainted portions, Belle was back on watch at Dairyland that time.
The cow's portability has made it possible for her to travel to the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg twice. In September 2012, the Year of the Ayrshire at the show, she was featured as part of the Ayrshire promotion.
Also, the folks of St. Mary's are hoping that she will come home this summer to take part in a parade. Negotiations are under way about that.
Transporting the cow on the highway is a big deal - she's too large to pass under some bridges, and has to have her horns removed.
At home in the Kishacoquillas Valley, the cow is a common subject of conversation.
"Just the other day a woman told me, 'I appreciate that you keep that cow on the move.'" Rodgers said. "We've had it in three or four different locations since September, and we'll probably be moving it again, at least by the beginning of May.''
Once a veritable landmark at Dairyland at the entrance to the Kishacoquillas Valley, Belle's permanent home is now Hameau Farm, Gay Rodgers said.
"I wanted her here. It was never an option to sell her.''

I think Gold has put enormous pressure on HERSELF which is where the nerves come from - more so than Alex, Scott Brown, her mother, USFS or her twin or anyone else. Once she manages her OWN expectations, she will be formidable, but this is something she needs to learn and the only way to learn is through trial and error.
I think USFS is putting their faith in Gold, Hicks, Edmunds, Bell, Miller, etc because they know the only one with an outside chance at the podium RIGHT NOW this season and next (unless things change drastically in the next 1-12 months) is Wagner and want to get the skaters I mention international experience and READY for the next quadrenium as the ones who were supposed to be the future after Vancouver have fallen short of expectation (Nagasu, Zhang...)
I hope Gracie doesn't become like Sasha. Sasha was so determined to be perfect all the time that she of course would always make mistakes that cost her in the LP. Hopefully Gracie will manage her expectations and not be so hard on herself.

IMO judges shouldn't be allowed to attend practices.
Plus, we can't assume from comparison to Gracie's low PCS/TES from two poor skates that Christina's PCS/TES were high. Christina doesn't have the technical execution or the depth of interpretation that would warrant scores as high as those of the Russians, Yuna, Carolina, or Mao. Gracie, on the other hand, has programs packed with technical content--her only trouble is performing it.

At least Cohen was continually on the medal stand (or 4th at worst) even with her mistakes...
When you've got US champions like a Nagasu or a Wagner doing nearly the best they can and STILL unable get on the podium, then you raise an eyebrow...wondering what happened to US ladies, etc...
Last edited by R.D.; 02-12-2013 at 08:19 PM.
I wonder who would die to have a Cohen in the mix right now?
Her edge jumps were good and her skating skills weren't that weak. Her edge quality was a bit weak, but her capability for footwork was great. Amazing spins too, so her tech mark would be fine.
She would have a big advantage in PCS because her ability to perform and execute choreography was phenomenal. Cohen was actually a very good CoP skater. She got hammered for making 1 mistake in the 6.0 system. CoP cares less about mistakes.
Sasha did compete under the new system. Admittedly there have been some changes to the system, but she would have adapted. She fell twice at the Olympics and still pulled off winning a silver medal. Sasha was one of those skaters who personally poured over the rule books to maximize her points rather than leaving that task completely up to her coach and choreographer. Some recent skaters would do well to follow her lead with regard to that.
Personally, I think the US would kill to have Sasha Cohen at this point...

Thanks, those who shop locally
Today is Small Business Saturday. Nestled between Black Friday (dominated by big-box stores) and Cyber Monday (which features online retailers), the Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize nearby, brick-and-mortar businesses.
For some people, that won't make a difference. It won't change their shopping habits at all. They'll continue to do what they do the rest of the year - shop at locally owned, mom-and-pop businesses. To those folks, we tip our caps, and urge more of their neighbors to follow their example. The county that receives part of your sales will be your own.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — They are World War II U.S. Navy military brothers, who served in the Admiralty Islands of the Southwest Pacific, toiling to repair battleships and aircraft in sweltering 120-degree temperatures.
These honorable men transformed the tropic sea and jungle into an instrumental base of resistance, where Navy ships were fueled, provisioned and supplied for battle in the Philippines.
They are boatswains, mechanics, metalsmiths, service administrators — they did anything that needed to be done to support the troops.
Their annual gathering occurred Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the Lighthouse Marina in Tahoe City. The assembled veterans rolled down the blanched wooden pier, autumn light reflecting off an azure Lake Tahoe to the Navy tune "Anchors Away." The Placer County Sheriff's honor guard, in full parade dress, flags and rifles upright, stood at attention.
Each veteran snapped a salute to the uniformed men and women as they passed.
"I can't think of a better place to be today," said Deputy Skogen, of the Loomis substation of the Placer County Sheriff's Office. "I'm a vet myself (Air Force, Travis Air Force Base), and they don't make them like this anymore. Not many people (veterans) my age would have saluted."
Glenn Toms, who served in the Combat Aircraft Service Unit 42 in the Admiralty Islands from 1944-45, and in the Korean War through 1951, organized the reunion of the Admiralty Islands Naval air ground support troops 20 years ago. What started as a group of 12 burgeoned to 450. The roster now stands at 38.
These sailors stick together, like a second family, according to his wife, June Toms. And they got a taste of the not-so-salty international waters on the Tahoe Gal, sponsored entirely by Larry Boerner and his wife, owners of the eco-friendly paddlewheeler.
"Back in spring, the organizer asked me what would it cost to have them," said Boerner. "I said it would be my honor."
Ann Irving, whose father served in World War II in the South Pacific, has organized many of the September reunions. She seeks a combination of Southwest Airlines hub locations, interesting historic points and surroundings that don't overwhelm and are appropriate for the physical limitations of ages 86-95.
"We don't need dancing or Dixieland. When I asked Larry, he was most gracious, understanding, and reflected upon his own father's World War II Naval service," said Irving, who delivered a home-baked carrot cake to seal the deal.
Boerner contacted the Placer County Sheriff's Office and also the Coast Guard, who provided an escort boat beside the Tahoe Gal. The reunion group of veterans, wives and daughters stood cheering as a Coast Guard C-130 lumbered from the Sierra Nevada ridgeline toward the Tahoe Gal, glinting silver passing once, twice, low overhead in an aerial salute.
Doris Telles, a 30-year Coast Guard chief waiting retirement, attended with her sister Lillian, mother Lilly and father Robert Telles, 90, who joined the Navy in 1941. His second wife, Charmaine, said, "It's an emotional voyage. I was holding back the tears."
Toms said a prayer for soldier brothers who have passed this life, a prayer for brothers who remain, and a prayer for the United States of America. A moment of silence was held, and three carnations were tossed overboard to symbolize the three brothers who left this earth in 2011. Amen. Assistant Don Wagenbach sang a short ballad, and the travelers shared hugs and a few tears. Then, Irving reminded all to celebrate life, and to remember the good times.
"We should all be proud of this country, and these service men hope it will stay this way forever," said Toms. "We know things are changing … the younger generation doesn't get what we fought for."
"Not many people remember what these guys did for our country," said Betty Egbert, whose departed husband served on Manus Island as a machinist at Base Hospital 15. "He would have enjoyed this, sharing so many memories."
Irving pointed out the men on board included doctors, lawyers, electronic technicians, veterinarians — every profession in the book. Ralphie Rebich wired the nose cone for the moon space shuttle. Robert Smalley was an ambassador for President Ronald Reagan.
But when they gather, the playing field is leveled: They are bothers in service.
"It was gut wrenching," said Boerner of the ceremony, the camaraderie. "My heart was in my throat out there. It was wonderful."
