If at some point this season the Red Wings get all of their players back from injury and send Tatar and Lashoff (and now Andersson) back to GR, they will have 26 players on their roster. Obviously, they'd need to get down to 23, which means 3 players have to be moved out somehow. Joey McDonald is a lock to eventually hit waivers and possibly go to GR, but what 2 skaters should go? Should the Red Wings keep 14 forwards and 7 dmen or run a 13/8 combo? I'd just like to hear everyone's REALISTIC opinions on who should go and why. And by realistic I mean no impossible NHL13 scenarios, and you have to obviously know that Holland is not going to waive or dump Cleary or Quincey. And also I don't want to see the words "buy" and "out" next to each other either, as you can't buy players out until June.
Here's my opinion:
I think it would be smart to go with a 13 forward and 8 defensemen setup. The Red Wings are very deep up front with 18 forwards that can skate in the NHL, not counting Sheahan. On D, the Red Wings really only have 9 NHL dmen. So I would think that no dmen get waived. I have to think that at this point Mursak has to be at the bottom of the forward depth chart. The guy can't stay healthy and the Red Wings really haven't been able to see what he can offer, while every other bottom 6 player has found there place (along with Tatar). After that I think it would come down to Emmerton, Miller or Eaves. Emmerton is probably the most obvious choice, but the Wings are kind of the thin at center, and have a glut of guys that can play on the wing. Miller and Eaves always seem to be in and out of the lineup depending on who's healthy, but I think that the Red Wings like that Eaves can fill in on the 2nd line and the PP, while still killing penalties and playing on the 3rd/4th line.
So for me, it would come down to these players, in this order:
1. MacDonald (obviously) - I do hope he would clear tho, so we still have strong depth in net.
2. Mursak
3. Emmerton or Miller
Who would you guys pick?

Kevin Rooney has produced Parade All-Americans and future NFL players while coaching at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., but even he was impressed by what he saw Koa Farmer do on a run late in a game last fall against Chaminade.
"You just shake your head and go, 'wow.' You don't see that very often," Rooney said, laughing as he recalled the play.
Farmer, moving from receiver to play wildcat quarterback, hurdled an oncoming defender while somehow avoiding another would-be tackler coming on a blind angle from behind, landed and raced the final 50 yards on a 69-yard touchdown jaunt. It was so electrifying that it was voted the play of the year by the local Fox Sports affiliate and has been featured on multiple YouTube clips.
"That was crazy," Farmer said. "I'll never do that again."
"He's definitely got some outstanding ability, so you expect him to make great plays." Rooney said. "It's kind of unfortunate for those players, because everyone's always expecting them to make great plays all the time. But he's a really level-headed guy who's always going to do whatever he can to be better all the time."
Although, because of the distance to travel, he's one of the few 2014 recruits who isn't expected to be at Penn State today for the Nittany Lions' Blue-White Game, Farmer signed with James Franklin's program in February, and that combination of outstanding ability and level head has made him one of the best bets among the incoming freshmen to get onto the field as early as this fall.
"He's that type of dominating player," said recruiting analyst Jeff Duva, who had the opportunity to see Farmer multiple times over his career.
Playing strong safety for Notre Dame, Farmer was the Los Angeles Daily News defensive player of the year in 2013 after making 62 tackles, four interceptions and two sacks while forcing three fumbles. He also scored 18 touchdowns on the offensive side of the ball.
Because of his growth potential - Farmer already is 6-foot-2, 212 pounds - and his reputation as a big hitter, his long-term future might be as a linebacker. However, the initial plans for him at Penn State are at safety, and the 10.93-second 100-meter dash and 22.03 200 he ran at a track meet earlier this month make it easy to see him thriving in the secondary bringing a style similar to his favorite NFL player, Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Kam Chancellor.
On top of that, Farmer has the bloodlines. His father, Jamal Farmer, set a freshman collegiate record with 18 rushing touchdowns in the late 1980s while playing at the University of Hawaii.
"He's a tremendous athlete. He's fast, big. He's smart. He's a team guy. He's coachable. He's just a very nice human being and a good kid," Rooney said of Farmer, who volunteers in a convalescent hospital in his free time and wants to pursue a career in forensic science.
It makes one wonder how Penn State was able to pluck a player like Farmer out of southern California. Farmer grew up in the shadow of UCLA and as a fan of California - he actually originally committed to the Golden Bears. He also had scholarship offers from Washington, Arizona State, Colorado and Fresno State, as well as Wisconsin, Harvard and Yale.
However, James Franklin and his staff already had offered Farmer a scholarship when they were still at Vanderbilt and continued to pursue him when they went to Penn State. Farmer said he didn't really know much about Penn State when the Nittany Lions made the scholarship offer, but it wasn't because he wasn't interested, and he was blown away when the offer came.
"I didn't think of myself as that big-time. I thought Penn State was really big time for me," Farmer said with a laugh. "At first [when they called], I didn't believe it. When Coach went up there, I kind of knew it was coming, but, when it happened, it still was shocking."
Maybe not as shocking as when Farmer arrived at Penn State in late January and saw all the snow.
"I hadn't seen snow since I was maybe 4, and I don't remember it. I never saw snow come from the sky," Farmer said.
It didn't turn out to be a deal-breaker for a kid from a much warmer climate. In fact, Farmer said experiencing something new like that just added to Penn State's appeal, which already was strong because of the academics and the strong relationship he had with Franklin and his assistants.
He committed the next day.
"Them having my major as an undergrad really sold it. And Coach Franklin and that whole motivated coaching staff, they bring a lot of energy to the table. I can tell they want to do something special at Penn State," Farmer said. "I think it will be good for me."
Football has been good for Farmer, who loved the camaraderie of the sport, but there was a time, despite his father's background, when his heart really was in basketball. He was a good enough player growing up to be part of nationally competing AAU teams. Ironically, it was the court that led him to the field.
"My dad wanted me to take up football so I could be more physical for basketball. So I went out when I was 10. I played one year, then I didn't go out the next year, then I started playing consistently when I was 12," Farmer said. "Basketball is like volleyball: The [traveling team] season is more important than the regular season. In high school, when it was travel season, I was playing football. Football ended up taking over.
"It's funny. I never would have thought I would get a scholarship for playing football."

Tostones with Parsley Garlic Sauce Recipe
By Diana Perez | April 10, 2013
Tostones are found in various cusines from Latin America, especially those from the Caribbean, including Venezuelan, where great big slices of the twice-fried green plantain substitute bread, making the sandwich called a patacón (Puerto Ricans call it a jibarito).
To read about the Origins of Tostones, click here.
Note: Tostones are made with ripe green plantains that can be found at any Latino bodega or supermarket. However, if you're overwhelmed by the sheer variety of bananas and plantains, ask the grocer or the ladies who are shopping for their own bunch of plátanos.

on February 3, 2013 - 1:00 AM
Opera fans could be likened to Shakespeare fans. Some prefer traditional productions, others believe in pushing the envelope.
They are also a little like film buffs. Just because you love one opera does not mean you will love them all. You might prefer one style to another, one composer to another, one Mozart opera to another.
It's impossible to please everyone, every time. So the Canadian Opera Company takes a different approach.
"What we try to do here is to keep and make opera relevant," says Alexander Neef, the company's general director since 2008.
"That doesn't necessarily mean to update everything," he adds. "The great thing about opera is you can get into it from so many angles – music, theater, visual arts. And there's a lot of angles for this production [of Wagner's 'Tristan und Isolde'] that people can get into and embrace."
Neef is 38 and single. He eats all his meals in restaurants. He doesn't have a TV. "I've never needed one," he says when you mention that.
Quirks don't hurt, though, when it comes to opera. Neef chooses the operas himself, and he has a sense of the unusual and the alluring.
Typically, the COC offers six productions a year. "We look at what we'd like to do, and are we available to do it, does it fit with the budget," Neef says.
He aims for a range of eras and styles, but he cannot always predict how the audiences will respond.
"They surprise me all the time, for better or for worse," he laughs. "It's a very positive situation. It's a curious audience here, a great pleasure to direct with. I'm not afraid of discussion. They always give us the courtesy of see first, judge second."
The COC also courts new audiences. Opera Under 30 offers $22 tickets to people under 30 who might be new to opera. Operas are promoted with special events: discussions, lectures, special appearances, open rehearsals. For newcomers of any age, though, the first step to opera appreciation is no secret: Just give it a try.
"It's an adventure each time. It should be," Neef says. "It's meaningful to attend a performance. It's not only about dressing up, it's about the whole experience."
Typically, the COC presents its operas in pairs. One is usually more traditional than the other. The current "Tristan," for instance, is paired with Mozart's late opera "La Clemenza di Tito." The Mozart, set in ancient Rome, is not as well known as "Don Giovanni" or "The Magic Flute."
"It's a fantastic piece," Neef says. "Sophisticated Mozart writing, a very tight story. We haven't done it in a while, and we happened to have a great cast."
The three overlapping operas that complete the COC's current season strike a delicate balance.
From April 17 to May 24, on stage will be Donizetti's "Lucia de Lammermoor," a masterpiece of the bel canto style of the early 1800s.
Running from April 21 to May 22, is Richard Strauss' "Salome," in a production by avant-garde filmmaker Atom Egoyan. "Salome," inspired by a play by Oscar Wilde, was seen as shocking when it premiered in 1905, and Egoyan's production, which the COC has staged before, makes it more so. Biblical costumes mix with business suits, and the famous "Dance of the Seven Veils" is reinterpreted through video.
Francois Poulenc's "The Dialogues of the Carmelites" (May 8 to 25) closes the season on a French note. The music has a modern feel, though it is based on a true story from history, the martyrdom during the French Revolution of a convent of Catholic nuns.
"This is a production I think it's important to bring to Toronto," Neef says. "I saw it a while ago in Amsterdam, and fell in love with it."
The COC's 2013-14 season, recently announced, includes another Peter Sellars production and another from Egoyan, in addition to several lush productions that explore the eras the operas come from.

8 Zombie Apocalypse Survival Strategies (For Zombies)
The Internet is littered with how-to guides for surviving a zombie apocalypse by self-accredited zombie experts. You'll get tips on everything from shotgun maintenance to fortification repair to selecting a team of survivors who are all slower than you. But there's a lie underlying all these guides. The fallacy that we'll all be the survivors. But setting aside delusions of grandeur, zombie apocalypses are, by definition, really hard to survive. (Otherwise it's just one or two poor zombies milling about, while people take turns throwing things at them.) And if you take a long hard look at the Internet, you'll have to agree that in the event of a zombie outbreak, over 95 percent of Internet-users will be zombified before they can leave their padded chairs.
New and potential zombies are a demographic sorely underserved by today's Internet advice distributors. So, after consulting with the wildest-eyed experts we could find, Cracked has come up with the following guide for how to zombie to the best of your ability, and achieve full un-life self-realization.
Because finding or even reading this guide may pose difficult following the zombification process, we recommend you memorize all these steps now, before disaster strikes. Alternately, keep a copy close at hand, and should you suffer an infectious bite, staple a copy of this to your chest for ease of reference in your new undead state.
#8. Nutrition
The first thing you'll notice after zombification is the Hunger. You will never not be hungry for the meat of the uninfected, and will want to spend every minute eating human flesh, or when possible, brains, the caviar of human flesh. This hunger can never be sated, but don't let that stop you from trying -- in truth, a lot of the fun of being a zombie is in the trying.
And the lurching. There's nothing quite like a good lurch.
The problem with your new diet is the lack of necessary nutrients in human flesh -- a dietary deficiency which will be the cause for much of your bodily decay. You can retard this decaying process with proper nutrition, which sounds simple until you remember that any food that isn't human flesh will look about as appetizing as a cat turd to you. Fortunately it should be possible to trick yourself into eating something nutritious, as your intelligence will have decreased remarkably during the zombification process. By dousing foods in ketchup, you should be able to make them palatable to your blood-seeking stomach -- we use a similar technique today with children, also presumably because of their hunger for blood.
With some pasta sauce on it, this looks basically like human brains.
#7. Exercise
A basic exercise regimen can also help minimize your natural decay, and allow you to keep up with your primary food source. At least three times a week you should be spending time working on your basic shuffle -- slowly increase the length of shuffle as you go, to help improve your necroticardio fitness. It's also not a bad idea to simply get good at shuffling -- you will be doing this a lot.
Weight training isn't usually important, as the zombification process will give you substantially increased strength, but if you wish, focus your efforts on shoulder exercises, as you will be spending hours of every day with your arms raised in front of you.
You'll want your fingers free for mauling. We recommend using your teeth to carry valuable personal items and organs.
Finally, if you're in an urban environment, consider some step training, to help when shuffling up and over all those curbs. Few zombie movies cover this point in detail -- evidently the sight of dozens of zombies trying to mount a 6" curb and collapsing one on top of the other like gristly dominos, ruins the tension these films are trying to capture.
For zombies, this is basically a war-crime.
#6. Social Networking
Science has proven that zombies work better in teams and you'll find your odds of making it in a dying world will be substantially improved if you form connections with your peers. Having friends around is useful for swarming, as well as for their ability to break your fall when you take a spill -- you'll be taking a lot of spills.
Zombified children have poor centers of balance and are an excellent way to bridge gaps in staircases or ford small bodies of water.
To find friends, attend places where there are likely to be other zombies -- malls, deserted gas stations, cemeteries -- and mingle. Don't worry if you're shy, or have confidence problems -- you will have similar interests as these unpeople. Simply start a conversation politely by saying "Blaaarrragh." Listen attentively and gauge the other zombie's response -- depending on whether they say, "Blaaaaaarrrgh," or shuffle a bit to the left, you'll be able to see whether this zombie wants to be a friend (both those actions indicate that yes, he does). Repeat as necessary until you are popular, or the hunger gets too much.
"Blaaaaaaaargh. (You guys want to do something, or just hang out?)"
#5. Self Defense
The natural enemy of the zombie is the human, and those little pink bastards haven't made it to the top of the food chain for nothing. In the early days of a zombie breakout, most humans will be pretty soft and doughy, and pose no particular challenge. But as time passes, only the toughest, stringiest humans will remain -- and they will be much more heavily armed. Not only will they be harder to chew, the more aggressive of them will begin fighting back.
Above: Considerably more difficult than Pizza Hut.
The most important tip is to travel in a group, as there is safety in numbers. When dealing with particularly ornery humans, try not to be the first zombie at the scene -- these over achievers rarely make it through feeding time with their heads intact. Hanging back like this is technically abusing your friends' trust in you, but it turns out that not having a soul makes this a lot easier to live with. Remember: a head is preferable to a soul.
That's another thing -- the head. For some sick, twisted reason, humans love attacking zombie heads, and you can expect them to take no end of perverse pleasure in aiming for yours. If at all possible, wear a helmet. Even something as simple as a colander can be enough to offer some protection -- perhaps against someone armed with a slingshot, or some uncooked pasta.
The holes will also allow any of your head fluids to drain through.
But don't get over-confident with a helmet in place, as humans are extremely adaptable, and will instead focus on your other weak spots. As noted zombie-defense experts the Wu-Tang Clan have observed, remember to protect ya' neck as well.

Another Barack Obama term is scary. But it's why I'm depressed.
It wasn't about losing an election; it was about losing the American dream.
For the first time in our history, the asylum has been taken over by the inmates. People voted to get a handout instead of voting for the freedom to pursue their own success. People have embraced socialism rather than self-reliance and that's a problem. More then half of Americans are on some kind of government assistance.
During this election 52 percent of Americans preferred the freebie rather than self-sufficiency. They'd rather stand in line and wait for a hand out. They are too lazy to get up and be productive to serve their fellow man. Our society will continually elect one Obama-type president after another as long as the freebies keep coming.
The government that provides freebies steals the money from the producers. What will life be like for all countries including ours once there is no American spirit? We went from worst to first in 300 years. We clothed and fed the people of the world, saved the world's people from vicious dictators and we spread freedom throughout.
The election was not about Republicans versus Democrats. It was about responsibility versus dependency, renewal versus decline, voting for a representative republic versus dictatorship by administrative fiat.
Whenever this ideology gains and holds power in a country, it results in starvation, riots, prison camps, mass executions and other atrocities such as hyper inflation and economic decline never before seen here.
We're more prone to attacks from external forces that could make the attacks of 9/11 seem trivial.
I'm scared because I know what's coming. You need to be preparing and self-educating, securing your assets and your family. I hope and pray that I'm wrong, but history repeats itself.
What does it mean for your family if I'm right? Please start to take it seriously and pay attention to what's going on daily so at least you have the opportunity to protect and provide for your loved ones so you can keep them warm, fed and safe.
I've heard what many have said during "water cooler" debates. "This politician is corrupt" or "they are all corrupt." "They just do what ever they want, not what they preach while running for office, so why bother?" That mentality is the trap.
Politicians aren't the problem. Willful ignorance of our civic duty and current issues, and history is the problem. Our society being too lazy to be informed and active in our own affairs is the problem.
We failing to fulfill our civic duty to protect Washington from corruption and not holding politicians accountable is the problem. We can't stop corruption because of our complacency and willful ignorance.
We must shift priorities from watching "Glee" to finding out what our government is doing and why.
Elections have consequences. When the pain hits and you want to place blame, check the mirror. This country's founding is based on the individual. If individuals don't do their part, we fail. Next, we go from being a citizen to being a subject. That's exactly what the people of this blessed nation have become.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
The U.S. is now facing unprecedented competition from around the globe to be the leader in biomedical research. In 2008, China pledged to invest $12 billion in drug development, and in 2011, the Chinese government named biotechnology as one of seven industries that will receive $1.7 trillion in government funding over the next five years.
The European Union's Innovative Medicines Initiative is pumping $2.65 billion into Europe's biopharma industry, and India's Bioconnect initiative has funded over 200 new biopharma projects. While America has developed more cures and breakthrough medicines than any other country, this is not a position that will be sustained without continued investment and policies focused on supporting and incentivizing the next generation of biomedical discoveries, treatments, and cures.
The U.S. biotech industry is poised to be a major driver in an innovation-driven economy, and we offer real solutions to our most pressing healthcare needs. Our biotech companies provide high-wage jobs while the indirect effects of increased research funding on the regional economy are significant. In fact, the nation's 1.42 million bioscience jobs support an additional 6.6 million jobs in the U.S.
To fully realize these potential benefits, we must have a policy environment that fosters innovation. There are five policy areas necessary to enable us to deliver the next frontier of medical breakthroughs: 1) protection of intellectual property—to protect the main driver in securing private sector investment; 2) funding for basic research and an effective technology transfer system; 3) funding opportunities for early-stage clinical research and development; 4) tax and financial services policies that encourage investment and support biotechnology companies; and 5) a well-funded FDA with transparent and consistent regulatory processes that enable the timely, efficient, and predictable review of innovative medicines.
Biotech companies have among the largest capital burdens and longest development pathways of any industry. High costs and long timelines can scare off investors who may be looking for investment strategies with earlier prospects for success. Amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow certain tax incentives stemming from R&D to flow from life science projects through to their investors would result in immediate tax benefits and attract more investment in small biotechnology companies.
Section 382 Net Operating Loss (NOL) Reform: Development-stage biotech companies typically generate significant losses, which can be used to offset future gains if the company becomes profitable. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code currently restricts the usage of net operating losses (NOLs) by companies that have undergone an "ownership change."
There are two reforms to Section 382 that would be beneficial to many biotechnology companies. First, we should exempt NOLs generated by qualifying research and development by a small business from Section 382.
Second, we must redefine "ownership change" to exclude certain qualified investments, like those in rounds of venture financing. These reforms would allow small biotech companies to retain their NOLs and include them as tax attributes on the balance sheet, thus increasing their value when preparing for additional rounds of financing like mergers or initial public offerings.
Section 1202 Capital Gains Reform: Section 1202 provides a small business investment tax incentive allowing taxpayers to exclude 50% of their gain from the sale of a qualified small business stock that has been held for more than five years. This tax exclusion could incentivize investors to invest in biotechnology companies early and hold their investments longer.
Changing the definition of "qualified small business" to include companies with gross assets up to $150 million, indexing the cap to inflation, and excluding intellectual property and follow-on rounds of financing from the gross assets test would more accurately represent the capital-intensive nature of innovative industries like biotechnology.
Additionally, a graduated increase in the exclusion for qualified small business stock, rewarding investors who hold stock for longer and incentivizing them to continue to do so, would be extremely beneficial.
Section 197 Amortization Reform: When the assets of an early-stage biotech company are purchased, the acquirer may amortize certain intangibles under Section 197 over a 15-year period. Accelerating this amortization period to five years could encourage large company investors contemplating acquisitions of specific intangible assets of small biotech companies to invest at an earlier stage in the company's research.
Timely reauthorization of PDUFA V, and especially the commitment to timely, interactive communication with biotechnology and life science companies during drug development, are critical to the future success of the biotechnology sector in the U.S.
There are several specific proposals being considered by Congress that are positioned to improve our ability to develop and deliver innovative medicines in the United States:
In addition to these recommendations, the critical need to expand and modernize the accelerated approval pathway cannot be overemphasized. The Accelerated Approval pathway was implemented by FDA in 1992 in response to patient groups who advocated for earlier access to life-saving medicines to treat HIV/AIDS. Under Accelerated Approval, FDA can approve the marketing of a drug to seriously ill patients based on earlier evidence of effect with a commitment from the sponsor to conduct post-market studies.
Application of the Accelerated Approval pathway has been largely limited and excludes drugs that treat many rare and serious conditions. This has created some confusion among sponsors on how to apply the pathway to different indications.
The Accelerated Approval pathway needs to be modernized to incorporate the remarkable advances in life sciences that have been and will continue to be made, in such areas as genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics. These and other advances can enable novel drug development strategies, employing tools such as biomarkers, pharmacogenomics, predictive toxicology, clinical trial enrichment techniques, and novel clinical trial designs.
Clarification of when and how these tools can be utilized in an Accelerated Approval pathway will incentivize drug development for serious and life-threatening diseases and encourage the development and utilization of new tools and methodologies.
I have discussed laws and proposals that would go a long way in fostering biomedical innovation in the U.S. These recommendations are achievable and will deliver significant competitive advantages and opportunities for expansion in biotech in the U.S. The decisions that Congress makes now will play a key role in whether or not we hold on to our global leadership in this area and maximize the economic and public health solutions that the biopharmaceutical industry has to offer.

SALINEVILLE - Southern Local knew Leetonia was going to throw an intense and up tempo defensive game at it coming into Friday's Inter-Tri County League lower tier showdown.
That was fine and dandy with the Indians as they adapted early and shook off some rough patches to come away with a 65-49 victory.
Southern senior Luke Griffith led the way with 27 points and a career-high 14 rebounds as the Indians improved to 3-2 and 1-2 in the ITCL lower tier.

"I was surprised I had that many rebounds," Griffith said. "A lot of balls came right to me. It was just one of those nights where you were in the right spot. It felt good getting on the boards, but we had a nice floor game too."
Griffith was on the end of one of those nice floor plays in the first quarter as Dylan Ketchum saved a ball from going out of bounds and flipped a pass behind his back to Griffith who put it away on a very smooth fastbreak.
"That was all Dylan," Griffith said. "I was just in the right spot. He made a great hustle play and flipped it right to me. I had to finish it for him if he's going to make a tough play like that."
Fact Box
SOUTHERN SCORING: M.J. Williams 0-0-0, J.J. Napierkowski 3-0-6, Dylan Ketchum 3-0-7, Jared Shilot 3-1-7, Luke Griffith 11-3-27, Aron Sevek 0-0-0, Kyler Woodward 9-0-18. TEAM TOTALS: 29-57, 4-12: 65.
LEETONIA SCORING: Luke Janci 2-3-9, Cody Valentine 1-0-2, Brandon Dattilio 1-0-3, Trent Ferry 3-5-12, Ian Sevenich 3-0-8, Zack Van Giesen 4-0-9, Ian Stecker 2-2-6, Josh Faulkner 0-0-0. TEAM TOTALS: 16-53, 10-16: 49.
Three-point goals: Southern 3 (Griffith 2, Ketchum), Leetonia 7 (Sevenich 2, Janci 2, Dattilio, Ferry, Van Giesen).
Griffith said that was play of the year caliber and provided a lot of energy going into the end of the first quarter.
"It's one of those things where if you do that, someone has to be there to get the ball," Southern coach Whittaker said. "Sometimes the ball just goes out of bounds. It's like in tennis where someone will hit that shot between their legs. It's a hustle play and that's what you have to do to make those plays. You have to want the ball."
Southern led 26-12 after the first quarter in which the Bears (2-3, 1-2) lost senior starter Cody Valentine to a hip injury.
"I don't know how bad it is, but it didn't look too good," first-year Leetonia coach Eric Whitmer said.
Leetonia slipped out of full court pressure into a triangle and two zone in the second quarter, but the Indians had all sorts of trouble exploiting the weaknesses in that defense.
"The triangle and two gave us some problems," Whittaker said. "You don't see that often. We attacked it well, but we were shooting the ball too soon or throwing it away."
Leetonia limited Southern to five points in the second quarter and was down 31-28 at the half.
That rally didn't last long however. Southern was able to extend the lead to as many as 14 points in the third quarter before it settled into a comfortable groove heading into the fourth.
Outside of Griffith, Kyler Woodward played a key role on the boards with 18 points and 14 rebounds. J.J Napierkowski had seven assists, while Jared Shilot had nine rebounds.
As for the Bears, the early part of the season has been an adjustment period as Whitmer is back in a head coaching role for the first time since resigning at Columbiana in 2010.
"The kids are working their butts off," Whitmer said. "We're trying to change the atmosphere around here. I couldn't be more pleased with the work ethic. It's just that they're trying to learn what I'm teaching and I'm trying to learn what they can do. It's two steps up and one step back. It's a work in progress, but I love it. They're good kids."
Sophomore guard Trent Ferry led the Bears with 12 points. Ian Sevenich added eight points and seven assists. Junior Zack Van Giesen had a strong game off the bench with nine points, seven rebounds and three steals.
Both Southern and Leetonia are expected to be in the mix in what is supposed to be a balanced league, but for the time being McDonald and Wellsville appear to be the cream of the crop.
"Some of the scores have been surprising," Whittaker said. "Lowellville has done well and Sebring almost beat Wellsville the other day. It's a tough league again."
Game notes
Leetonia held a moment of silence for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre before the game.
Southern won the jayvee game 59-27. Clayton Cunningham and Caleb Gotschall had 12 points each for the Indians. Austin Rhodes had six for the Bears.
Southern hosts Western Reserve on Tuesday. Leetonia is at Wellsville on Tuesday.

Some cried. A few, too stunned for words, shook their heads and turned away. Many said they felt numb with grief. And one Southtowns mother of two described herself as so saddened that she was thinking of home-schooling.
All this emotion – and much more – poured out of parents across the Buffalo area on Friday, as they learned the details of the mass shooting of 20 small children in an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
And then, they faced the most difficult of decisions: Whether to tell their own kids about what had happened.
"Kids have good imaginations. They can imagine this happening to them," said Brendan Dillemuth, a father in Evans, who said he and his wife were still deciding whether to tell their 9-year-old daughter about the day's events.
Those who seemed to be most devastated by news of the shooting had children in elementary school – and of the same ages as the victims in Connecticut.
These moms and dads couldn't help thinking, as they hugged their children at school bus stops and playgrounds, about what they would do if they were in the place of the New England parents who, without warning, found a peaceful pre-Christmas weekday rocked by tragedy.
"What about those parents, who sent their kids to school, not knowing they would never see them again?" asked Joy Constantino, a Derby mom of two, wiping away a tear.
"My little girl is brilliant. She watches the news," Constantino said, of her 9-year-old daughter, whom she said she is now considering schooling at home. "I'd rather tell her. I don't want her to hear – from somebody else."
Here are scenes from around the region, about the emotional toll such a heartbreaking national tragedy is having in our own backyard.
In Amherst, some parents took advantage of the bright December day to walk their children home from school. Among them was Scynette Cook, who said she had been watching news coverage of the shooting before picking up her 5-year-old son.
"I started to cry," she said.
Cook didn't plan on telling her son what had happened. " I don't want to scare him," she said.
Beth Baumgartner walked to the school with dog Daisy to pick up her daughter. The shootings "make me sick," she said.
If her children bring up the subject of the shootings, Baumgartner said, she won't dodge the issue. "If they bring it up, I will talk to them about it," she said. "I don't hide the realities of the world from them."
Outside Highland Elementary School in Derby, most parents said they would talk to their kids about the shooting.
One father, Dillemuth, said the world kids today live in – a highly connected one – means that parents have little choice about what to do when it comes to sharing news like this. So while he and his wife might not want to tell their fourth-grader about the shootings, they can't keep the news from her, either.
"Regardless [of what we do], one parent is going to say something to their kid this weekend, and when they come back on Monday, everybody will know," he said.
Dillemuth said he and his wife moved to the Southtowns from the Northtowns, to give their daughter an idyllic upbringing.
Now, he realizes, that seems impossible. No place seems safe.
"My wife and I moved our daughter out here because it's like this," he said, gesturing at the woods and open skies around him. "Quiet. Peaceful."
"It scares the hell out of you."
In Orchard Park, parents who flocked to Eggert Elementary for a concert grappled with the aftermath of tragedy.
"You're not safe anywhere, I guess," said Sarah Malburg, the mother of a 2-year-old. "It's gotten kind of sad. You just can't [even] go to school." Malburg said she "cried my eyes out" when she saw the news.
"You just send your child to school and you think they're safe," said Judith Toomey, who watched her granddaughter on the playground of Allendale Elementary in West Seneca. "It's very hard for children of that age to talk about something like that."
"They shouldn't have to think about something like that," she added, holding back tears.
In the face of such shocking news, school superintendents found themselves reacting like professionals – but also parents.
Robert Christmann, interim superintendent in Grand Island, was trying to learn the details of the shooting, just like many others.
"This event today will have as great an impact on public schools as Columbine did," Christmann said, "because of the magnitude of it and the age of the students."
Hamburg Superintendent Steven Achramovitch told his staff to make sure doors were secure and asked them to be prepared to answer questions from parents. "I'm sure this will raise some things that we haven't thought about before," he said.
Paul Connelly, superintendent of the Springville schools, didn't order a lockdown, but talked to faculty and staff.
In Cheektowaga Central, schools were closed Friday, but officials were bracing for concerns on Monday. "I think the biggest question, and most challenging question, kids will ask is: 'Can this happen to me?' " said Superintendent Dennis Kane.
In Niagara County, parents who waited for students at Ohio Elementary in North Tonawanda were also concerned. Jamie Derrick said she nearly came early to pick up her three children.
"I had this urge to just come here and get them out of school and hold them and tell them that I love them," she said.
Instead she waited and arrived just a few minutes ahead of the regular dismissal time.
To show up any sooner, she realized, would have been too alarming for her kids. As she sat in her car, she wondered how she would explain this tragedy to them when they asked.
"I don't know what to do, honestly," she said. "I don't want them to go to school and be scared. It's something that I need to think hard about."
In Buffalo, parents dashed into Bennett Park Montessori to do what they had wanted to so badly from the moment they heard the news: hug their children.
"The first thing I wanted to do when I heard about it was come here and pick him up," Carlo Maggiolo said of his son, 6.
Many parents were still trying to figure out what to tell their children.
"As soon as he finds out, we'll have a talk," Maggiolo said. "We're planning on talking to him about how to stay safe."
The news stirred protective instincts for many parents. Sidney Yates' daughter is 3 years old, but he planned to remind her of safety lessons he's already tried to drill into her. "I'm going to talk to her in the car on the way home," Yates said.
Yates said he's vigilant when he picks his daughter up, scanning the faces of bus drivers, checking for cars he's never seen. "My eyes are always open," he said.

Tanger Outlet Center is landing more well-known brands.
In addition to the recent opening of Jos. A Bank men's clothing store and Starbucks Coffee, Rackroom Shoes will open late October or early November near Loft Outlet. Also, New York & Company, which has apparel stores in both Northwoods and Citadel malls, will open in early September between Gap and Chico's, according to Penny Benton general manager of Tanger's North Charleston center.
Bye-bye, Buffett
Hard-core Parrotheads are in mourning: Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville shop at 282 King St. in downtown Charleston will close Aug. 31 after a 15-year run. All merchandise is on sale at 45 percent off. When the shop opened in August 1998 it was one of the first in the specialty retail chain.
Food line
A restaurant called Tasty Sushi recently leased 1,350 square feet at 874 Orleans Road in Summerall Square across from Citadel Mall in West Ashley, according to Belk/Lucy real estate firm.
The shop was once Glitz N Glamour Eyelash Bar and Spa. The new restaurant should open in about two months.
Piece of pie
Holy City Pizzeria is now open in the food court at Citadel Mall. The new restaurant is the project of Topher Pecora and his fiancee, Kacie Faulling. The two recently competed in Food Network's "Food Court Wars" for a chance to open their own business rent-free for a year in a mall.
The new eatery beat out Charleston Gourmet Burger Co. in a competition that aired earlier this week but was filmed at the West Ashley mall in June.
Home decor
Steven Shell Living, a home goods, decor and furnishing store, has opened at 642 Coleman Blvd. in Mount Pleasant.
Old to new
Palmetto Goodwill will hold a grand reopening of its Clearance Center and Computer Works stores on Friday, starting with a ribbon-cutting at 10 a.m.
The stores are just down the street from their current locations at 6813 Rivers Ave. in North Charleston. Computer Works is a complete electronics sales and service store, offering refurbished goods and diagnostic testing.
Enter to win a new grill and enjoy free hot dogs.
Short-time tenant
It's almost that time of year for things that go bump in the night. Spirit Halloween has entered a short-term lease for a 4,500-square-foot retail space at 1137 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. near Bowman Road in Mount Pleasant.
Seasonal shops pop up this time of year to tap into the $8 billion Halloween market.
New sparkle
Moon and Lola, a North Carolina-based jewelry, accessories and lifestyle brand known for its monogrammed and personalized accessories, will hold the grand opening of its new store at 322 King St. at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Do middle-aged women like Bruce Springsteen? I have it on good authority that the answer is yes, which is probably why three songs off "High Hopes" will be featured on next week's episode of "The Good Wife" on CBS — and the whole album streamed at cbs.com starting Sunday night. It's an odd little piece of synergy that just might work. And even if it doesn't, it will provide a listening opportunity for who didn't grab the album when Amazon pushed the button early on its digital release last week.
Meanwhile, the reviews�keep rolling in — and they're generally positive if not effusive, except for one pan from the ever effervescent NY Post.
��Philly.com:�Springsteen's 'High Hopes': Uneven odds and ends that rock
��The Independent:�A few low notes but the Boss has still got it covered
��Metro:�A wistful collection of covers and old�songs
��American Songwriter: 3.5 out of 5 stars
��Popdose: The perpetually cranky Dave Lifton kind of likes it
��NY Post:�Springsteen�s new album dashes �High�Hopes�
Meanwhile, all of Andy Greene's Rolling Stone features on the album — further proof that he must have the entire Springsteen camp on speed dial — are must-reads for the full story behind "High Hopes":
��Bruce Springsteen on 'Anomaly' of New Album 'High Hopes': Exclusive
��Bruce Springsteen Producer Breaks Down 'High Hopes': Exclusive
��Tom Morello: 'Springsteen Concerts Are Orthopedically Exhausting'
The takeaway from that trio of pieces is that even if its not newly written, "High Hopes" is anything but a slapdash effort, having been worked on for well over a year. But what's important is what you think of it; when you do hear it, be sure to leave your impressions here in the comments. And look for our in-depth review — guaranteed to be the "War and Peace" of "High Hopes" reviews — shortly after the streaming begins.
In the meantime, enjoy further evidence that @GinaGiambone should be on the Springsteen Inc. payroll — her video for "Frankie Fell in Love."

B.S. Mathematical Economics
Program Overview
The Actuarial Science and Mathematical Economics programs at High Point University prepare students for some of the most exciting and "in-demand" jobs in the workforce. Economics is no longer as simple as "supply and demand." Problem solving, abstract thinking, and quantitative reasoning are among the most sought after attributes of new hires – and these are all skills sharpened by a serious study of mathematics. Further, economics is becoming an increasingly technical field that now makes use of almost every area of mathematics. A solid background in mathematics will give those wishing to excel in economics-related professions a distinct advantage over the competition.
A Focused Curriculum
High Point University offers a Bachelor of Sciences in both Actuarial Science and Mathematical Economics.
The Actuarial Science major at High Point University was designed in consultation with local actuaries to give its students the best possible preparation for an actuarial career. Courses in finance, economics, and statistics have been accepted by the Society of Actuaries as satisfying its VEE requirements in Corporate Finance, Micro- and Macroeconomics, and Applied Statistics. The goal of the program is to produce graduates who have passed the first two actuarial exams (Probability and Financial Mathematics), completed the Society of Actuaries VEE requirements, and have developed through their coursework the skills to succeed in the actuarial profession.
Students seeking a B.S. in Mathematical Economics will be immersed in a well-balanced curriculum, preparing them for a wide variety of economics-related jobs or future graduate study. In addition to receiving a solid foundation in mathematics and economics, students will be given the opportunity to master principles of accounting, statistics, and financial management. Interested students will also have the opportunity to do individual research with the guidance from both a mathematician and an economist.

Water withdrawal plans put on hold in Old Lycoming Township
February 28, 2013
Plans to withdraw 250,000 gallons a day from a well in Old Lycoming Township to supply the natural gas drilling industry have been put on hold — at least for now....
Hey Dishguy, I find it ironic that we citizens who earn nothing from the gas industry are whiners but you workers who earn money from the gas industry are pleased to take it. I just hope you're not getting too emotionally connected to your "industry" because you will likely have some tough decisions to make when your industry leaves and you have to decide whether to uproot your family to follow them. Just so you know, they don't give a*****about you, us, or this place. They are the ones who care about the money so why shouldn't I feel the same way? I hate to use any one individual as an example, but you're just a parrot echoing what they want us to hear because you are earning a nickle off their fat stacks. Good luck to you when the bust comes (if it's not already upon you), then you'll know how much they care.

dishguy, I guess you have never read The Pennsylvania Natural Gas Industry "Wall of Shame".
It is violations imposed by the DEP against the gas industry, the violations start from Feb. 2, 2009 and runs thru Sept. 1, 2012.
There's the proof that you need.

And of course Justin, that comment about people like you who don't get anything because their is no well is on your property feel the same way, well yeah, it does seem their the ones whining, but look at all the jobs that local people have now working with these well companies. Look at all the people spending that money in your community helping it thrive and grow, these well companies are spending most of their money here in our state, and yet all everyone worries about is their selves making money. Pa's economy is up compared to before the gas wells started, and no, I am NOT making a dime off my property, but I do work for a company who works for the gas industry and while I'm on the wells, I watch for anything they do that can damage the environment and I haven't seen any in the last 2 years I worked on any well, just tired of people accusing without any proof whatsoever!

Well unfortunately, sounds like people are mis-informed and assume what will happen. First of all, the amount of water that will be used from this well at 250,000 gallons is only .02% of what was calculated to be in the well, yes, .02%! This was calculated from a survey crew who ran tests to determine this. Also the water that is used is reused many times, then is taken to a facility, like Eureka on Hepburn St and is cleaned to the point it is tested to be safe to drink. Trust me, I am all for protecting our planet, but all I hear is excuses with nothing to back up their gripes (water is used once and gone, wanting it to affect someone else, etc.) I am really baffled on the "you don't care but only if it affects someone else" comment, you don't mind if it affects someone else? Really? If it effects ANYONE, it should be stopped, but DEP and others haven't determined this would effect anyone or they wouldn't have gave them permission for the well to be drilled in the first pla

I'm crossing my fingers that someone finds a Marcellus Shale sized gas field with oil somewhere else...maybe Texas.

West Virginia's Intelligence Infusion
July 10, 2013
The 1970s were a tough time for West Virginia. I remember many of my fellow WVU graduates taking jobs in other states because there were no jobs her....
"Lots of work could be outsourced here." Like what, more call centers, more factories? Tell us something we don't already know and make it happen. When you make it happen, please don't bring us more $12/hr jobs, with crappy benefits, that require a person to work a jacked up schedule. We have grown tired of having to chose between watching a little league game or sleeping(to ensure that we come home at the end of a shift in a factory with all our fingers.).

Or it could be because it costs less to operate in WV?
Factories should be paying far more than 12 bucks an hour given the massive increase in productivity in the past 20 years. However, we all know where that extra money has ended up.

Check out the Forbes article on the best states for businesses. WV needs to up the education of it's workforce. There are other things not so pleasant to read in there, like being 39th on good place to live. Hey don't kill the messenger. This is how other people see the state. Prove them wrong.

Until Guiermo is fined or jailed when he fails to file for a business license because he cannot read, or fill out earnings statements because he cannot perform simple math. Not everyone needs a degree, but everyone needs the basic skills required for a diploma.

What Modern Games Are Like If You Haven't Played Since Atari
Skylanders Giants
The Point
Make your action figures come to life while doing some sort of stuff that I'm not sure about.
The Experience
Skylanders Giants is a really great game. Totally appropriate for kids, but still fun for all ages. Or at least all ages as long as no one's watching you make your sparkly robot dragon rescue singing geckos by bouncing on trampoline spaces. It's a big, beautiful world, and I'm pretty sure our 5-year-old won't make it to the end of the game for years.
"I did it, Dad!"
It took a while to get used to the two-pronged Nintendo controller with the Nunchuk motion-sensor part, but that's fun, and I got to play with the boy by having me steer while he hit "A" and zapped the bad guys.
The Aftereffects
Having to buy lots more Skylanders figures and merchandise.
Left 4 Dead
The Point
To kill as many zombies as possible while heading to an evacuation site. Incidentally, this should be the point to every video game ever.
The Experience
I opted for the first in the Left 4 Dead series, as that was the only used zombie game at my local GameStop, and my only purpose in gaming is to kill zombies. I can't compare Left 4 Dead to those that followed or any other shoot-'em-up game like Halo or Tour of Duty or whatever, but I do know that I like killing zombies. The Left 4 Dead zombies are weird, though. One dude pukes on you, another boa-constricts you with his super tongue, and most are 28 Days Later fast. But none of them bite you. They just want to beat you up. They literally punch you. Especially the mutated one that looks like the Hulk. I guess that makes sense because you can get punched a lot, but bitten only once, so ...
Yes, he vomits on you. Congrats, Xbox, for finding a way to make zombies grosser.
Zombies typically scare me -- not because they're so strong, but because they still have some humanity, and in most movies you have to get really close to them to destroy the brain. It's sad. Taps into a fear of only making something suffer more by attempting to put it out of its misery. Anyway, I don't have that problem with Left 4 Dead because you're usually machine gunning at long range. It does, however, tap into another fear -- not knowing whether to look in front of you or behind you in the dark. That's what makes those real walk-through haunted houses scary. It's a heightened sensory feeling with an adrenaline rush.
Oh, by the way, I played for a week before knowing how to use the D-pad, or what I like to call the plus button in a circle. Now I can say that one of the greatest moments in my life is setting the Hulk zombie on fire with a Molotov cocktail, bringing it to its knees, and machine gunning its flaming head at close range. THANKS, LEFT 4 DEAD!
I wanted to get a good video of this but I couldn't find it, because apparently I'm more awesome than everyone.
The Aftereffects
The game, no joke, gave me low-level post-traumatic stress disorder and nightmares. When I drive down dark streets in my zombie slayer (minivan), I instantly seek out dark corners, looking for surprise zombie attacks. THANKS, LEFT 4 DEAD!
A new season of HATE BY NUMBERS is almost here. Also, be sure to follow Gladstone on Twitter and stay up-to-date on the latest regarding Notes from the Internet Apocalypse. And then there's his website and Tumblr, too.

LEWISTON – Here's a brief casual spectator's guide to Niagara basketball: Get your tickets and then go out and do some shopping. Maybe grab a bite to eat. Run back home and let the dog out. Then start heading over to the Gallagher Center, planning to get there with about two minutes to go. You won't miss a thing.
The Purple Eagles did it again Thursday night, only more dramatically so. Down 14 points midway through the second half, down seven with 45 seconds left in regulation, Niagara launched a frenzied rally to force overtime on a Juan'ya Green three and then beat Iona on Green's straightaway three with one-half second remaining. Ho-hum.
The 93-90 final score indicates the game's sizzling nature. Iona, one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation, looked like it had a win midway through the second half but wilted as Niagara produced five second-half steals, pounded the offensive boards in relentless fashion and yet again found a way to persevere when all seemed lost. It was the Purple Eagles' fifth Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference victory by four points or fewer and extended their MAAC winning streak to a school-record 10 games.
Visions of Sunday's 66-65 comeback victory over Canisius came to the fore as Niagara (14-8, 10-1) denied Iona (14-8, 8-3) a share of the conference lead and a sweep of the season series. Four missed Iona free throws opened the door and Green stepped through. He brought Niagara within 81-78 on two free throws with 23.3 seconds left in regulation, stole the ball and made the last of four threes Niagara launched on a single possession as the Purple Eagles continually beat the Gaels to long rebounds. The tying basket came with 4.5 seconds left and a final Iona shot was well off the mark.
Niagara had to come from behind again in overtime. Trailing 86-85 with just over two minutes remaining, the Purple Eagles took the lead on an Antoine Mason jumper, setting the stage for the wild stretch run. Iona drew even at 90-90 on a pair of David Laury free throws with 21 seconds left, and Niagara put the outcome in Green's hands. He dribbled the clock down off the top of the key, then stepped into a 22-footer, swishing the shot and sending 1,856 at the Gallagher Center into crazy celebrations. Iona couldn't get off a final shot.
"Early in the season I had the ball in my hands and I passed it up and everybody got mad at me," Green said. "I just stayed focused."
"We know he dribbles into the shot and our players know it and when you ask them after the game they know it, but our guard thought he played him well," Iona coach Tim Cluess said. "He held on to the ball really forever so it's going to be a quick contested shot."
Iona was left to lament some crucial and careless turnovers, Niagara's 20 offensive rebounds and the unstoppable forces that were Green and Mason. Mason struck for 17 of his career-high 30 points after intermission with Green scoring 21 of his 26 in that same span.
"They're so dangerous because of their athleticism and size," said Cluess. "I don't know how many teams in the league have an answer for those two players in all fairness."
"There wasn't any fancy X's and O's," said Niagara coach Joe Mihalich. "This is a players' game. And my job is to put some stuff together out there to give the players a chance to play and make plays. And in the end that's what it did. We ran the same play for the whole whatever. Go make a play."
One of the key junctures for Niagara came at the end of regulation, following Green's steal with Niagara down three and 22 seconds left. Green missed a three, Mason rebounded. Mason missed a three, Jordan rebounded. Mason missed another three, Green rebounded. And then Green finally found the target.
"They went after the ball like it was the last rebound that was ever going to happen," Mihalich said.
"Just the will to win," Mason said.
The outcome left Iona stunned. Sophomore forward David Laury had a huge game with 24 points and 16 rebounds. Momo Jones, the MAAC's leading scorer, had 23.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Last November's FDA public hearings on the approval pathway for biosimilars further highlighted the growing divide and upcoming challenges associated with deeming a biosimilar "highly similar" to the originator. This language comes from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed by President Obama in March 2010.
Although it's the first piece of regulatory legislation for biosimilars in the U.S., the Act fails to provide exactly how a highly similar determination is made. This lack of specificity has led to one of the most contentious questions surrounding biosimilar approval discussed at the hearing: How in-depth must clinical trials go?
Supporters of full-blown side-by-side clinical trials of both the originator and the biosimilar argue that this approach better ensures patient safety. Opponents argue that extensive clinical testing may be unnecessary if a biosimilar is shown to be highly similar to a reference product's published data.
The latter group's argument is founded upon the generic approval pathway established for small molecule drugs by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (Hatch-Waxman Act) passed in 1984.
By following Hatch-Waxman's guidelines, generic drug companies are spared the costs of expensive clinical trials because all they need to prove is that their drug's active ingredient is "bioequivalent", which requires demonstrating the equivalent concentrations in the bloodstream over the same period of time.
In addition, since the generic drug is the same molecule, all of the additional information regarding safety and metabolism has been proven and accepted by the FDA in the submission provided by the originator. This economic advantage given to small molecule generic manufacturers cannot be applied to biosimilars.
Unlike small molecule drugs and their generics, it is impossible to precisely characterize biologics and biosimilars chemically and technically. As a result, the determination of a highly similar assessment is based on the nature of the biologic and a possible harmful immunological response. Complex characteristics of biologics call for a thorough case-by-case set of clinical trials of both the originator and the biosimilar using current analytical methods and expectations.
The well-defined, predictable nature of small molecule drugs combined with the rigorous testing done by originators gives generic manufacturers the ability to bypass several costly steps. As long as the pharmaceutical company can provide proof that their products have the same active ingredient and follow the same quality manufacturing standards, then safety and efficacy clinical trials are also unnecessary for the generic.
As a result, generic drug manufacturers are only required to prove bioequivalency by testing their own drug along with the originator's drug and showing that the generic gives the same profile in the bloodstream. One measure of a generic drug's bioequivalency is its bioavailability––the amount of the drug in the bloodstream, the time it takes to get there, and the time it takes to exit the body. If the concentration and absorption of the generic meets statistical requirements compared to the originator, then the generic is considered to be bioequivalent.
Unlike small molecule drugs, biologic drugs are large complex molecules and scientific characterization of biologics doesn't produce absolute, well-defined metrics. Variables such as protein folding, aggregate formation, and glycosylation can affect the performance and efficacy of the biologic. Choices made during production can also influence the nature of the biologic including the choice of the cell type, development of the genetically modified cell, purification processes, and formulation of the therapeutic protein. Because of these complexities, originator companies still have problems replicating their own production process despite years of experience with the drug. Furthermore, these complexities make exact replication of the originator's active molecule nearly impossible.
The analytical methods used to test biological drugs are constantly improving in the hopes of better quantifying their complex characteristics. Many of these techniques and technologies were not available during the development of the originator. Data published on originators that opponents of full-blown clinical trials would like biosimilar manufacturers to compare their drug against is outdated.
As a result, thorough side-by-side clinical trials of the originator and the biosimilar are needed in order to provide analytical evidence of biosimilarity. Two of the most important and most difficult aspects of biosimilar clinical testing are providing evidence of bioequivalency (purity and potency) and immunogenicity (safety).

Revisions to Yamaha's Policy on the Environment
The Yamaha Group established "Yamaha's Policy on the Environment" in 1994, which the Group as a whole has used as a guide in pursuing its environmental protection activities.
From 2010, the Yamaha Group in Japan will work systematically to transform the ISO14001 environmental management systems, for which individual business units have received certification, into a standardized system in order to acquire Group-wide certification. Accordingly, Yamaha has reformed the previous "Yamaha's Policy on the Environment" to make it suitable for the acquisition of ISO certification.
Based on this revised policy, going forward we would like to work to make a contribution to achieving a sustainable society by acting steadily on environmental initiatives, in step with the economic and society-oriented undertakings that we pursue through our business activities.

Fashion. It conjures thoughts about shoes, bags, belts, shirts, dresses, trousers and a myriad of other accessories and clothing options (coats come to mind).
Rarely, though, does one think about the ability of a hair style to reflect and alter the fashion image of a person. There may be brief reflections on styles or obsessions (The Farah or The Rachel), but rarely is hair considered an intrinsic part of the whole fashion equation.
As fashion consciousness is changing, so is that concept. And now, striking hair trends are coming and going as fast as clothing trends.
Last year, ombre hair was a huge trend with hair that transitioned from dark roots to light tips or vice versa. This year, however, different trends are gaining strength.
The full bang
It's cropped up on celebrities such as Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes, but look for full bangs everywhere this fall.
Full bangs are cut blunt across the bottom and should hang at least to the eyebrow or all the way to the eyelash for a more dramatic look.
"Girls with long hair always come in wanting something new and different but are rarely willing to give up any length. This is where bangs come in," says James Quinton, owner and stylist at Salon Couture on King Street. "It's a great way to make a big change fast."
Quinton says that by the time you grow tired of bangs, they are probably quite long. This is a great style to accentuate the eyes.
Short crop
The short hairstyle for women wavers back and forth between being a trend and being old fashioned. Right now, it is having a bit of a renaissance as a trendy 'do.
"This is for a braver girl because now it's quite short and showing a lot of face," Quinton says. This style leaves you nothing to hide behind so it's a look for a girl who is confident with her features.
Quinton also mentioned Halle Berry, who has been rocking this hairstyle for many years and never looks dated doing so. Perhaps this style is leaving the ranks of the trendy haircuts to become a classic.
This is really about the men. After shows such as "Mad Men" came on the air, there was a resurgence in that retro look, not only in clothing but in hairstyles.
David Beckham, always at the zeitgeist of fashion, was sporting a retro look at the Olympics Opening Ceremony in London.
Ricky Martin traded funkier looks for a retro vibe for not only his role in "Evita" on Broadway but also in daily life.
Ombre hair definitely had its time in the light, but its popularity is starting to fade.
Quinton says that it was created to mimic a child's summer highlights.
"It was good because it was something anyone could do that was a little edgy but not too crazy they couldn't wear it to work," says Quinton.
The look is definitely on its way out. And now it's more about the uber temporary, including the fun colors you can change on a daily basis using Murphy's Color Bug and other similar products. It's a kind of evolution of the ombre trend but with a little more edge and a lot less permanence.
Quinton says that trends are ever changing. You can find the latest styles in the streets. Although the newest will come from street shots in big cities, you can find edgier new hairstyles in Charleston as well.
One could postulate on which styles to stay away from, but eventually they may come back in vogue.
It's not so much about which hairstyle you choose, but choosing the one that's right for your face structure.
It's also smart to consider that your hair has to go with every outfit in your wardrobe.
That blue mohawk might not be as versatile as originally thought.

Yuna Kim: Sochi Decision 'Absurd'
What did figure skater Yuna Kim really think about the judging decision that gave her a silver medal in Sochi? Speaking to fans in Seoul yesterday, she gave her most candid comments yet on the result.
"It was absurd but I felt good that it's over," Ms. Kim said when asked about the outcome, adding that she didn't dwell on the controversial decision.
Ms. Kim was the model of professionalism after Russian Adelina Sotnikova beat her to gold in the women's individual figure skating competition at the Olympics despite a flawless performance by the Korean, who went into the competition as favorite. She showed no outward signs of displeasure and warmly applauded the winner.
Her acceptance of the result appeared to take the steam out of calls for an investigation into the judging, including an online petition that has garnered more than two million signatures. Some figure skating experts also questioned the decision.
Ms. Kim admitted after the competition in Sochi that she didn't feel the same level of motivation as during her 2010 gold medal winning performance at the Vancouver Olympics. She repeated those sentiments on Monday.
"Before the event, as I've always said, I wasn't that desperate for the gold medal. But at the same time I thought that since I am a human being, wouldn't I feel sorry if I don't get the gold medal?" she said.
"When I was finished, I could feel that I was not that desperate," she told fans.
As she heads into retirement, Ms. Kim said the gravity of her decision soon hit home after the end of the competition.
"As I lay down on my bed after finishing the short program, I couldn't believe that this time (of retirement) had really come and I couldn't control my feelings," she said.
