Who has more to play for: PSU or Nebraska?
November 6, 2012 - Cory Giger
UNIVERSITY PARK -- Penn State still has a great deal to play for, including pride, the love of the game and a chance to continue to show the rest of the nation that there's no quit in this group of players.
Unlike several other recent teams on the Nittany Lions' schedule, however, this week's opponent has something very real to play for and not just intangibles.
Nebraska is playing for a trip to the Big Ten championship game and potentially its first appearance in the Rose Bowl as a member of the league.
Which team has more to play for is debatable (see the video discussion at altoonamirror.com for more on that). But one thing that's not debatable is the Nittany Lions must be prepared for a Cornhuskers squad that should be more focused and won't roll over when faced with adversity like several other Big Ten opponents have done against PSU.
"They have a lot to play for, but at the same time we have a lot to play for. ... We will be ready to play," Penn State cornerback Stephon Morris said.
Morris then went on to speak some of the most poignant words anyone on the team has spoken all season.
"This team, this university, we don't run from adversity," Morris said.
That's been proven many times over, and the Lions' 6-3 record and three blowout wins on the road in Big Ten play are testaments to their determination.
But Nebraska is much better than Purdue. And Iowa. And Illinois.
Winning this kind of game in a hostile environment against a motivated team presents a challenge PSU has yet to face this season. Oddsmakers don't like the Lions' chances as they're a 7-point underdog, the second-largest spread of the season (Virginia was favored by 10 in week two).
Beating the No. 18 Cornhuskers would be the signature win of the year, not that the Penn State camp is saying anything publicly to that effect.
"It's just another team," running back Zach Zwinak said.
"This game is no bigger than any other game," O'Brien said. "It's just another big game. It's against a very, very good team."
The coach did point out that a Penn State-Nebraska game is "what college football is all about."
"You have two big-time college football programs that have two good coaching staffs and a lot of good players, and playing in a great game in Lincoln, that atmosphere, hopefully it's fun," O'Brien said.
The Cornhuskers lost a non-conference game at UCLA in week two, 36-30, and their defense was obliterated in their only Big Ten loss, 63-38 against Ohio State. They've bounced back from that with three straight wins -- at Northwestern, home against Michigan and at Michigan State in a big comeback Saturday -- and they control their own destiny in the Legends Division.
If they can get to the Big Ten title game, the opponent likely would be Wisconsin, which Nebraska beat earlier this season in Lincoln, 30-27. The Cornhuskers have to like their chances of getting to the Rose Bowl for the third time, after appearing there in 1940 (a loss to Stanford) and also when it was the national championship game in 2001 (a loss to Miami).
The Cornhuskers trailed the Spartans by 10 points late in the fourth quarter Saturday but rallied to win, so they've proven they can overcome adversity during games.
"I think the guys have a lot of confidence," Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. "I think there's a lot of heart in this football team. They don't panic and stop believing that they're going to be able to get it done."
The motto all year for O'Brien has been to play a one-game season each week. The Lions are down to their final three games, and it will be the last road game of the seniors' careers, but O'Brien's stance remains to avoid thinking about any element of the game other than what it will take to win.
"I don't go into the team meeting today and say, 'Hey, look, guys, these guys are fighting for the Rose Bowl,'" O'Brien said. "I go in and say, 'Look, guys, this is what they do offensively, defensively, special teams-wise, and this is what I think we should do to combat that.'"
SUBHD: Injury update
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill (knee) and tight end Kyle Carter (ankle) are both listed as day-to-day. O'Brien said they will be evaluated every day, and a decision will be made on their status later in the week.
"I can tell you he's itching [to play] right now," linebacker Michael Mauti said of Hill, who suffered a sprained knee at Purdue. "He's feeling good right now."
Carter didn't make the trip to Purdue. Running back Curtis Dukes suffered a concussion on the kickoff coverage unit against the Boilermakers and is out for this week's game.
SUBHD: Mauti high on O'Brien
Mauti spoke in glowing terms about his coach Tuesday.
"I don't think any other coach could do as good of a job as he's done holding this program, this athletic department together," he said.
"To inherit the this situation, he's the coach of the year in my opinion," Mauti added.
Mauti also was asked to compare O'Brien and Joe Paterno but said, "I don't have enough time to answer all those comparisons. ... You can write a book."

At the Front Line of Suicide Prevention in South Korea
Ha Kyoo-seob, president of Seoul National Hospital, has a side job trying to tackle one of South Korea's biggest social problems as immediate past president of the Korea Association for Suicide Prevention.
He made news earlier this week when, following the latest suicide of a South Korean celebrity, he showed up unannounced in front of the press corps at the Ministry of Health and Welfare and said media sensationalism of such deaths wasn't helping the nation's crisis. He laid out data from several studies that showed how the number suicides rise in the wake of a celebrity's death.
Newspaper editorials followed, but it's unclear that his warning will forestall another round of gruesome, detailed reporting the next time a celebrity commits suicide.
"What I wanted to emphasize is media should be cautious of reporting the reason for suicide and the detailed method," Mr. Ha said in an interview after his news conference was reported in the South Korean media. "When the media reports the detailed method, it is especially influential to people in their teens and 20s and there is a great risk for them to commit suicide with the same method."
The high rate of suicide in South Korea – the highest among developed nations and fourth-leading cause of death in the country after cancer, stroke and heart disease – is a national problem akin to the mass gun slayings the U.S. continues to experience.
And in the same way that the U.S. gets tied up in knots coming up with policy solutions to its violence problem, South Korea's policymakers and broader society have been unable to come to grips with the exceptional number of people killing themselves.
In the interview, Mr. Ha said that the association – a civic group of doctors like himself, mental health professors, clergy and academics – pushed hard for a law passed by the National Assembly in 2011 that provided government funding for programs that counsel people who have attempted suicide, identify themselves as thinking about and relatives of people who died by suicide.
The group has also pushed for greater controls of pesticides and other poisons that are commonly used in suicides in South Korea. And they've worked with police and the owners of small hotels in rural and mountain areas where many people, particularly the elderly, tend to go to kill themselves.
But they are working against centuries-old cultural traditions that the image, or face, that individuals and their families put up in public should not be shaped or affected by any sign of weakness.
"There is a strong negative stigma about suicide and mental illness, and there is a strong denial that suicide is related to depression in Korean society," Mr. Ha said. "Fortunately, it is changing. There is more thinking that depression is one of the major reasons for suicide and people are realizing that screening for depression is important to reduce suicide."
Mr. Ha said he would like to see more media portrayals in South Korea of troubled people who confront their difficulties and get help from mental health professionals, clergy, friends and family.

"I mean, it's the worst you can go through -- losing a child," Verleen Kalama said Friday, talking about losing her daughter-in-law and granddaughter in a tragic, violent crash on Wednesday night.
A car seen leaving the scene of a Madras burglary sped away after a deputy pulled it over on Highway 26 near Warm Springs Wednesday night. Moments later, the car crashed into an oncoming Warm Springs police car, killing three adults and a child and seriously injuring the officer and another child, authorities said.
Late Thursday afternoon, Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins identified the dead as April Scott-Kalama, 26, Valerie Suppah, 25, Sean Starr, 22, and Grace Sybil Scott, 4, all of Warm Springs.
Kalama said Grace was just months away from something she'd been very excited about.
"She said, 'I can't wait until my birthday, Grandma.'"
While Grace's life was cut short, miraculously, her younger brother, Ladamire Lydell Kalama, 1 1/2, survived the crash. He's recovering at Doernbercher Children's Hospital in Portland.
"He's been responding. He's been opening his eyes," Kalama said of her grandson. "But they have him sedated, because he keeps trying to pull his tubes out. He actually tried to sit up -- and when we heard that, our prayers were answered."
Little Ladamire is doing surprisingly well, considering the trauma his body has been put through.
"He has a broken leg and a chipped ankle," Roland Kalama said. "And he has bleeding in his brain, but they got that under control."
Those are just a few of the injuries Ladamire sustained in the crash, along with bruises and cuts cover his body, and a broken jaw.
But even though the tubes and bandages alter Ladamire's appearance for now, his grandparents said he will live, and for that, they praise his nurses.
"They are so helpful -- they're our angels," the Kalamas said. "I mean, we love them for that, for taking good care of our grandson while we can't be there."
Ladamire's sister, Grace, and his mother, April, will be buried on Saturday.
But the Kalamas are also a grieving over the loss of the two other people who were killed in the crash.
Starr was a good friend of the Kalamas, and Suppah was like family.
"Our condolences go out to her family as well," Roland Kalama said.
We learned Friday that the injured officer, Todd Kerr, is out of the hospital, having suffered several broken bones.

Imedeen has been a leader in internal skincare, with a line of products that go below the surface, inside the body for more beautiful skin. Imedeen skin supplements work to improve the skin's quality, structure and appearance. This line of cutting-edge, all-natural formulations can be used in conjunction with your current skincare regimen for optimal results.
As a leader in marine complex and antioxidant dietary supplements for the skin, Imedeen has been working since 1991 to develop quality formulas that encourage healthy skin. Using advanced formulas created from all natural ingredients that have been carefully selected for their efficacious capabilities, Imedeen has been able to provide products that can be used to enhance an existing skin care routine. While these formulas are not designed to take the place of a daily regimen that incorporates cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, they are highly complementary to this type of scenario when taken regularly.
Imedeen holds a strong belief that beauty comes from within the body. In order to look your best, you must care for your physical needs from the inside out. In addition to proper hydration and diet, you should take advantage of supplemental formulas that can enhance the appearance of your skin beginning from beneath the surface. Most people are consciously aware of the skin on the exterior, often forgetting that layers lie beneath what is visible on the top.
Imedeen has taken the approach that you can encourage natural beauty for your skin by caring for it on the inside as well as the outside. Their anti-aging skin care formulas are gentle enough to be taken every day. Based on scientific research and accompanied by clinical proof that they are beneficial for human skin, Imedeen's supplements have been designed for two primary age categories: 50+ and 35-50 years of age.
Good nutrition can make all the difference between achieving your skin care goals and continuing to struggle with common skin care problems. Most people's diets do not contain the right blend of vitamins and minerals to provide everything that is needed for skin to look its best, so if your own diet is lacking, you're definitely not alone. Imedeen Products are the perfect way to ensure that your body has everything it needs to heal and nourish your skin from head to toe.
The Imedeen Products are a lineup of dietary supplements, each designed to address common skin care problems. All of the Imedeen Products contain natural ingredients, and the entire supplement range is completely free of added sugar, preservatives and colorants. The supplements are also completely free of lactose, making them appropriate for people with dairy sensitivities. Explore the lineup today to improve your skin from the outside in.
When added to the right anti-aging skin care regimen, Imedeen Products can help you transform your skin into the healthy, glowing, younger-looking complexion that you crave. The dietary supplements are based on natural ingredients and clinically tested to ensure their effectiveness.
The Imedeen Time Perfection was designed specifically for the skin care needs of women aged 35 to 50. Within three months, the supplement is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines, shrink the pores and make dilated capillaries and age spots less visible. In addition, the supplement is shown to boost the moisture levels in the skin by as much as 30 percent.
The Imedeen Prime Renewal is the dietary supplement formulated for the needs of the skin after menopause. The formula helps to boost the levels of the elastin and collagen structural proteins in the skin to make the hands, face and décolletage feel firmer and be more resistant to wrinkling. In addition, the supplement can decrease the darkness of age spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
The Imedeen Tan Optimizer partners with your favorite sunscreen to enhance the beauty of your tan. The supplement makes it easier for your skin to develop a golden glow rather than redness when taken regularly before tanning. After you have achieved the perfect tan, continuing to take the supplement will extend the life of that sun-kissed look. As an added benefit, the supplement reduces the amount of oxidative damage that can occur due to ultraviolet light.

A man was shot in the chest as he opened the door at 607 Elmwood Ave. in Niagara Falls just before 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, city police reported.
The shooter shot the victim in the doorway and fled.
"There were other people in the house, but the shooter didn't come in the house," said Capt. William M. Thomson, chief of detectives. "He just shot him and left."
Police who arrived at the scene found the victim with a small entry hole wound in the left chest area, Thomson said.
He said the 28-year-old man, whom he did not identify, was taken to Erie County Medical Center with a serious wound that required surgery.
Investigators believe the shooting was drug-related, Thomson said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Niagara Falls Police detective bureau at 286-4553.

Valve's Steam Wallet partners with GameStop
This is huge news for those gamers in your life and parents you're going to like this too.
GameStop. Corp. said this morning it's partnering with Valve, the creators of Steam, to sell Steam Wallet at all U.S. GameStop stores. Steam Wallet codes will be available in $20 and $50 denominations so PC and Mac gamers can have access to Steam's 1,800 titles.
Grapevine-based GameStop's general manager of digital distribution Steve Nix explains why parents will like this:
The partnership with Valve "gives even more options to customers now that they can put money in their Steam Wallet using cash, gift cards or trade credits through our convenient neighborhood locations."
It took me a while to figure out what all those Valve charges were on my credit card bill years ago when our son started playing video games online with his friends.
I'm sure many of you parents have had the same experience. It was Steam.

MARTINSBURG - The Hiring Our Heroes job fair is coming to the National Guard Armory on Kelly Island Road in Martinsburg this week.
Sponsored by American Legion Post No. 91 in Romney, the free hiring fair is conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Chamber Foundation and sponsored locally by the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce.
The hiring fair is for veterans, Guard and Reserve members, active duty military and military spouses to showcase their skills for interested employers, explained Bryan Goettel, communications director for the U.S. Chamber, in a telephone interview Friday.
"It's to market skills learned in the military," he said. "We tell job seekers to consider it a job interview, to come prepared to sell themselves to a variety of employers."
Attendees should bring a resume and dress appropriately and be prepared to be interviewed on the spot, Goettel said.
"We want to emphasize that the hiring fairs are open to military spouses as well," he said. "They serve right along with their spouse in the military, and it's hard for them to find jobs, too."

Abbreviation for Tracy Search Party. A group of young girls who constantly loose their beer funnel, Tracy. Tracy has a face on the actual funnel and TSP member names written along the tube. Tracy was born in the summer of 2006 and was constantly misplaced. Frequently, TSP members awake in the morning to call each other and ask, "Where is Tracy?" Thus formed the Tracy Search Party.
"Does anyone know where Tracy went last night?"
"I think someone said she was in a hot tub for a few hours?"
"Time to call a TSP meeting."

Swimming and Water Skiing
Water-skiing is a great holiday sport. But if you can't swim you'll be left on the beach. Learn to swim today.
Water skiing is exactly how it sounds – you're wearing a pair of special skis and you glide across the surface of the water.
You'll be pulled by a boat usually, or sometimes by cables, but you may not be in the water at all if you can't swim.
Swimming level needed
There are usually three people involved during a water skiing outing – the person driving the boat, the skier and an observer. The observer (or spotter) tells the boat driver if (and when!) the skier falls into the water.
If you'd like to try water skiing then you should already know how to swim and be confident in the water as it is quite likely that you'll fall in at some point!

Then give it a go! If you're up for a challenge and fancy trying out water skiing, visit the British water ski and wakeboard website to learn more.

Students in Kumasi, Ghana have started to interact with American peers to share ideas and learn about other parts of the world, thanks to a partnership between the city, the Millennium Cities Initiative, Ericsson and African operator Zain.
"The children were so amazed," says Dianna Hicks, a 5th grade teacher at Miner Elementary. "One student was almost in tears. They were connecting to a continent that they've been studying and have been told is where their ancestors came from. They need to learn the truths and untruths so they can garner their own opinions about places."
The US students all wondered how hot it was in Ghana, how the African students traveled to school and what kinds of activities they did outside of school.
"It was very entertaining and educational because I never thought I would be able to talk to kids from Africa unless I went there," said Daunya' Tucker, a 10-year-old student at Miner Elementary School. "I had a very fun time."
The connectivity is enabled though the mobile network provided by Ericsson and Zain. In addition, Ericsson is providing the fixed wireless terminal devices for 18 participating schools in Kumasi, while Zain is providing the 3G SIM cards to the school. The schools will be fully connected in the coming months, and students will begin connecting with schools in New York City and Washington D.C. in September. Only Opoko Ware Senior High School has been connected so far.
The partnership is aiming to strengthen teachers' and students' skills in science, math, technology and reading.
"The experience for the students is priceless," Hicks says. "It is also priceless for the teachers. I get to collaborate with other teachers and figure out what works and what doesn't."
Eugene Asante-Bekoe, principal at Opoku Ware Junior High School, says they want to use the project to ensure cultural diversity, erase negative perceptions about Africa, and promote respect of others' views and perceptions.
"The students are anxious to communicate and make friends from other countries," Asante-Bekoe says. "In fact, they are advocating that we further widen the scope to other countries such as Japan, Malaysia and Australia."
Asante-Bekoe says this is the first time that many students have used the internet, and it has been fun to see their eagerness to learn from their peers.
The Millennium Cities Initiative works to help selected sub-Saharan cities meet the Millennium Development Goals, providing nearby urban partners to the Millennium Villages Project, with which Ericsson is closely involved.

EAST ST. LOUIS — Several East St. Louis schools are going without air conditioning after thieves rendered the units useless by stealing copper wiring.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports the air conditioners have been out of service since last Friday at three schools. A fourth school's unit has mechanical problems.
The school district's spokeswoman, Beth Shepperd, says the repairs over the next couple of weeks likely will cost more than $100,000.
Shepperd says fans have been brought in for the affected students, and the dress code has been relaxed to allow more comfortable clothing. Shepperd says that if the heat index becomes a factor, the schools will consider dismissing students early.

We've fine-tuned how we feed and handle cows in our newer facilities and changed our old facilities to meet the needs of our growing herd.
Our initial plan going back to 2006 was to build two free stalls for about 250 cows each, a special-needs/dry-cow facility, and a new milking center. Problems we encountered with our manure storage system have kept us from following our plan. So far, we have built only the milking center and Barn One with 232 free stalls.
But, we have tried to not let the roadblocks stop our progress. Two major, "Plan B" developments (see page 403 in this issue) have been converting our old, vacant tie stall barn to free stalls for Jerseys, that would fit the stalls, and turning our 30-year-old, 90-head heifer and dry cow free stall barn into a bedded-pack, close-up barn (March 10, 2010 issue, page 177).
These two changes, which would not have been possible without the input and guidance of our farm team (see February 10, 2010 issue, page 108). Our team includes Jason Yurs, farm manager; Rick Halvorson, our veterinarian; Jim Barmore, GPS Consulting; Matt Kooiman, our Vita Plus representative; Rod Martin, Vita Plus nutritionist; Rod Wautlet, Agri-Business Consultants; and magazine staff. But, it takes a team of dedicated, hard-working employees. In addition to Jason Yurs, they include Joe Roberts, feeder; Stephanie Ayoub, herdsperson; Hattie Simonis, herdsperson; Arnie Febus, lead milker; and several part-time employees.
In 2006, the last full year in our old barn, we shipped 2.33 million pounds of milk. During 2007, with six months in the new facilities, we shipped 3.54 million. We switched to 3x in June 2008 and shipped 4.97 million pounds that year without constructing any new buildings. After putting free stalls in the old tie stall barn, we began adding Jerseys during late 2009. Milk sales in 2009 were 5.74 million pounds followed by 7.53 million in 2010 . . . still with no new buildings.
Until mid-2007, the heart of our operation had been the 82-cow tie stall barn. At one point, we were milking 160 with the switch cows housed on bedded packs in converted machine and tobacco sheds.
In June 2007, we moved into the new, 232-head free stall barn and began using our new, double-10 herringbone. We chose a narrow (60-foot-wide), two-row free stall design. With 16-foot-high sidewalls and Guernseys being relatively heat tolerant, we did not install fans in the free stall barn. We did put fans and sprinklers in the holding pen.
We do take a hit on milk and breeding during the hottest weather, although it is not serious. We're investigating both cross-vent and wind-tunnel buildings. Or, we may just stay with some variation of a more natural ventilation design.
We chose to go with electronic ID and sort gates for our herd work as opposed to headlocks. That system, which involves a palpation or management rail, also gives us daily milk weights and activity monitoring for heat detection. It works well for our Guernseys and is popular with our veterinarian, Rick Halvorson.
However, the palpation lane was just a playground for the Jerseys we have added. Most of them are housed in the old stall barn that has been converted to free stalls, and examinations were given in the stalls.
We recently put headlocks in one section of the new free stall barn where our first-calf Guernseys and Jerseys (for the first two to three weeks after calving) run together.
(As an aside, we have found that commingling laid-back Guernseys and aggressive Jerseys is not as disastrous as we thought it might be. Jerseys hold their own, to be sure. But it is not the "oil and water" mix some predicted.)
We modified the free stalls slightly and took out the feed bunk. The stall changes have been a good thing. We're still up in the air about the bunk decision.
Initially, we went with J-bunks instead of a flat feeding manger because of labor, primarily, but also biosecurity. Our farm manager, Jason Yurs, likes to feed to a clean bunk, and our feeder, Joe Roberts, spent little time cleaning out bunks before feeding. Our planning assumed that pushing up feed three times between twice-daily feedings would have required at least three hours' worth of labor, skid-steer wear and tear, and fuel a day. At $20 an hour, that's $20,000 a year.
Of course, bunks aren't cheap. Ours cost about $16,000 or around $28 per foot. Advantages of not having bunks are faster feeding, in our case, and being able to move feed around if part of a pen's manger starts to get bare.
One advantage of the two-row barn design we chose was that our feeding tractor and mixer did not have to cross any cow traffic areas. We saw this as a big biosecurity plus. However, we now have a cow traffic alley between our old barn where most of the Jerseys are and the new barn/parlor, so we have lost that advantage.
Our free stall changes involved adding a brisket "positioner." For our Guernseys, average weight 1,400 pounds, the face-to-face stalls are 16 feet outside curb to outside curb. Our free stall partitions are 48 inches on center (46 for the first-calf heifers). Our neck rail was 33 inches back from the front of the stall and about 48 inches above the beds.
We rake the backs of our stalls during each milking, and our stalls and cows were what we considered "clean." We did not see many clinical mastitis cases, but our somatic cell count (SCC) was not what we would have liked. We figured there was contamination at the rear of the stalls that wasn't apparent.
After experimenting with one row of stalls, we put an odd-sized PVC pipe (4-7/8-inch diameter) at the front of all stalls. The center of the pipe is 24 inches from the front of the stalls and 60 inches from the rear. SCC now runs in the 150,000 range.
Our free stall partitions were mounted on 6- by 6-inch stub posts, and the fronts of our stalls were open. We had problems with first-calf heifers, especially, going through the front of the stalls and getting caught.We have installed a 2-inch strip of curtain strapping.It is held in place by simple barn door handles attached to the stub posts.
Besides boosting total milk shipped from our facilities, our overall goals have been to improve transition-cow care and fresh-cow starts, raise conception rates, lower SCCs, and keep milk per cow and component levels high.
See page 403 for our facility changes and page 412 for feeding changes in the June 2011 issue.

On the Friday before MIX, I recorded this podcast with John Lam. He's the creator of RubyCLR and, as it happens, he joined Microsoft on the same day I did. John's been running silent since then, but no longer. In this conversation we discuss the dynamic language runtime (DLR), a generalization of Jim Hugunin's work on IronPython, and a quartet of languages that make use of its services. They include a refactored IronPython, a new managed implementation of JavaScript, Visual Basic, and a new implementation of Ruby which, unlike RubyCLR, does not rely on the C-based Ruby runtime.
We also explore the ability of these languagues to run inside Silverlight-equipped browsers. Key benefits include cross-language interoperability, access to Silverlight's subset of the .NET Framework, and more broadly, a new approach to writing ambitious browser-based software.

Encourage your child while protecting their bed!
Our super absorbent, leak-proof, pull up bedwetter pant by Mother-Ease is carefully designed with a 100% polyester waterproof outer cover that looks and feels like cotton. This ensures the bedwetting pants are soft, comfortable and fully waterproof. These pants do not have the feel of plastic bedwetting pants or the bulkiness of cloth diapers.
A three layer cotton soaker panel is partially attached at the waist front and back of the bedwetting pants for quicker drying time and more efficient cleaning.
The Mother Ease bedwetter pants are more absorbent than Mother Ease training pants and will work well for bedwetting toddlers overnight.
The Mother Ease bedwetter pants are available in three sizes: X-Small, Small, and Medium. They are available in White only.

Great bedwetter pant Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
Motherease has another winner here with their bedwetter pant. Although they might look pricey, when you look at the cost for disposable products, these pay for themselves SO quickly!!! They are very absorbent and leakproof from my experience. They are admittedly bulky though, so if you have an older child on an outing, you might have to use something else to be discreet at bedtime.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
FDA and EMA cleared Genzyme's second suite for filling and finishing products at its Waterford, Ireland, manufacturing plant. With this approval the company says that it has nearly doubled its ability to fill and finish Pompe disease therapies Myozyme® and Lumizyme® produced at the 4,000 liter bioreactor scale.
Genzyme will also begin the process to secure FDA and EMA approvals to fill and finish additional products in the second suite. Its long-term goal is to use the Waterford site as a filling and finishing platform across its portfolio of products.
"The approval of the second filling and finishing suite in Waterford is another important milestone on our journey to build a robust manufacturing network capable of ensuring reliable and consistent supply of our products to patients," says Genzyme's head of global manufacturing operations, Bill Aitchison.
Genzyme's Waterford facility has been in operation for over 10 years, and a $150 million expansion was completed earlier this year. The Waterford manufacturing site employs over 500 people and is considered Genzyme's center of excellence for aseptic manufacturing.
In January 2011, Genzyme said that it would build a €250 million manufacturing plant in Geel, Belgium, for Myozyme and Lumizyme. The new plant, sited next to its existing manufacturing site for these two drugs, will have a capacity of 8,000 liters, with room for expansion. Genzyme said it expects commercial approvals will start during late 2014. Meanwhile, production capacity at its current plant at Geel is also being increased to 12,000 liters. Genzyme separately operates a 160 L production plant in the U.S. for patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease.
Bioreactor contamination issues starting in 2009 led to shortages of Myozyme and other Genzyme drugs, followed by significant financial and regulatory problems. Having to shut down one of its production plants meant that for a prolonged period Genzyme was forced to reserve the Myozyme it could keep manufacturing for the treatment of infants and children with Pompe disease in the U.S.
Myozyme and Lumizyme are alglucosidase alfa enzyme-replacement therapies. Genzyme suggests that the Pompe disease drugs could match its Gaucher disease therapy Cerezyme in terms of commercial potential. Myozyme is currently available for all Pompe disease patients, and Lumizyme was cleared by FDA in May 2010 specifically for the treatment of patients aged eight years and older with late-onset (noninfantile) Pompe disease who do not have evidence of cardiac hypertrophy. In Europe the drug is indicated for infants, children, and adults with the neuromuscular disease.

Sandra Bullock shines at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards
America's sweetheart Sandra Bullock made a memorable surprise appearance this Saturday at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards – her first public appearance since the demise of her marriage and subsequent adoption of baby Louis.
There to accept the "Troops Choice" Award for Entertainer of the Year from presenter Robert Downey, Jr., the Blind Side Oscar winner received a standing ovation from the audience as she took the stage.
Bullock looked absolutely stunning in label of the moment Elie Saab's black leather knee-length sheath dress from the Fall 2010 collection. Striking gold again, the Lebanese designer's dresses were recently spotted on Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz in Cannes, to name but a few.
Proving her A list-status credential yet again, the star gracefully accepted her award, even joking: "Let's be honest here, just for a moment. We're all going to be honest, right?" Bullock, 45, told the crowd. "Did I win this for being entertainer of the year, or did I win this because of the spectacular I.E.D. [improvised explosive device] explosion that became my personal life?!"
We say Sandy has never looked hotter. Now what did they say again about revenge being better served cold?
