The purpose of this paper is to present practical clinical methods of diagnosis and treatment of this group of anemias. We* have treated 104 cases of this type of anemia occurring in 369 consecutive cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia as well as many associated with other diseases or of unknown cause. From this experience, we have learned many things. This paper is not intended to review the literature, which has been done well by several authors.1-7
In order to place this group of diseases in proper perspective relative to other anemias, see Tables 1, 2, and 3, which give our current classification of the anemias but give the detailed subdivisions for only the group discussed. We have used the term "antiglobulin-positive type" to characterize this group of related cases even though some of these have negative Coombs or bromelin tests. Note that there is no place for such terms

There's a lot more to casual than elastic-extravagant sweatpants and oversize T-shirts that tell everyone you don't own color-safe bleach. Here are the top three most common casual-clothing conundrums.
1. Wearing Clothing That's Too Big
Unless you're on your way to lift weights, or you've just acquired a bad case of mono, giant, baggy clothing isn't your best choice. Every body type is flattered by clothing that fits appropriately. The right fit will make you look polished and put together, even while you're lounging on the sofa.
Try wearing a fitted T-shirt and some bootcut jeans instead of the cotton hammer-pants you're usually compelled to slip on. You'll look healthier, happier, and ready for more than watching a Tuesday night made-for-TV movie. A fitted T-shirt should gently follow the contours of your body and allow for comfortable mobility. Jeans should be tight enough to celebrate your shape, without distorting it with any mid-section pinching. For a ready-for-spring look, choose bright and light tees that will keep you cool in the sunshine.
2. Forgetting to Accessorize
Just because you're keeping it comfy doesn't mean you should ignore the concept of accessories. You can make any comfy-chic look current with a long necklace or a chunky brown leather belt. Just got up from a nap (or look like you did)? Disguise any disheveled residue with a trendy hat. Fedoras look great with flowy tunics, and a classic baseball hat can really, er, cap off an outdoor look. Make sure you try on a variety of styles to find one that compliments your noggin—not every hat is designed for every head.
3. Abandoning Prints
Any look is transformed with the expressive personality of prints. A gray sweatshirt goes glam with a few stripes or a floral print. When you're getting cozy with a couple layers, reach for a zip sweater or sweatshirt with feminine details and a versatile pattern. Prints look great on tops worn with jeans and sneakers, or a simple cotton dress with flats.
For extra credit, take your look one step further by adding pizazz with a parka or a fine-gauge knit pullover with large stripes.

The case was seen in Dr. Howland's service in the Harriet Lane Home of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. It was that of a boy, between 5 and 6 years old, who was admitted Aug. 22, 1913, having been transferred from the Home of the Friendless in a state of coma.
Little was learned of his early history except that he had had in the eight preceding months two attacks of otitis media, and that for two years he had been subject to rather frequent and severe bleedings from the nose.
He seemed as well as usual up to five days before admission, when he began to complain of pain in his face and head, to be restless at night, and to look ill. The next day stiffness of the neck was noted, and the child vomited on several occasions. He became rapidly worse, and convulsions and coma developed the day

Wow, I had no idea how many trained medical professionals there were on LGW. I should have known after a good portion of the forum concluded that Orpik "shouldn't" have been injured by Thornton, but it's pretty clear now that you've all chimed in on Franzen's injury. Keep up the good work guys and gals, this thread wouldn't be the same without you pulling comments out of nowhere to validate your preconceived bias against Franzen.
You're absolutely right it is a total mind/body experience like doing yoga while petting puppies and drinking the finest scotch and smelling something that smells awesome all while having a tantric orgasm

Start at goalie, it is the easiest to answer. McDonald will be gone and a UFA will come in. McDonald has zero trade value, so either will be cut or become a throw in on a deal. There are several veterans goalies that could be had this year. No major changes in the roster, cap, or status of the team. If possible I would try to extend Howard now, rather than risk him next offseason.

iPhone 5 Will Have An 8 Megapixel Camera, Will Be Supplied By OmniVision And Sony [Report]
Following up to the previous rumor of the next gen iPhone carrying an 8 megapixel camera, another report has popped up by DigiTimes suggesting that the next iPhone will carry an 8 megapixel camera, something which we've already heard of, and the camera module suppliers are going to be OmniVision and Sony.
According to DigiTimes:
OmniVision has grabbed a majority of total CMOS image sensor (CIS) orders placed by Apple for the fifth-generation iPhone, market sources have claimed. Meanwhile, power amplifier (PA) supplier Avago Technologies has landed orders for the WCDMA version of the device for its first time, according to the sources.
About 90% of the CIS orders for Apple's new iPhone will be supplied by OmniVision, while Sony takes up the remainder, the sources said. The upcoming device will feature a built-in 8-megapixel camera, the sources added.
From time to time different reports have popped up suggesting that the next gen iPhone will indeed have a camera module with a higher pixel count. The current camera of the iPhone 4 sports a 5 megapixel sensor and without any doubt its one of the best camera you'll ever see on a smartphone in terms of image quality. A while back purported images of the "iPhone 5"'s camera module also popped up without giving away details of its resolution, but the noticeable feature was the design: the camera flash has been moved from right next to the camera to all the way to the corner of the device. We also speculate that the next iPhone will also have a higher resolution camera module compared to the current generation one, and expect the announcement of the next gen iPhone in Fall, the time when Apple plans to push out the final version of iOS 5.

"You look gorgeous, I'm loving the hair!"
That's Meredith Vieira of the Today show's reaction to a newly elegant Susan Boyle, who will make her U.S. debut Wednesday night on America's Got Talent – sporting a new hair color, softer locks and expert makeup.
"I brush up quite well," is Boyle's typically bashful reply.
On Wednesday morning's Today, Vieira asked Boyle – who declined to reveal any of the song titles or even the style on her soon-to-be-released CD – to describe the incredible ascent that began with her audition for Britain's Got Talent, her second-place finish on the show, a U.K. tour and now her debut in America.
"I'm having a wonderful time," says Boyle. "It's just been unbelievable ... It's a bit like going on a long journey. You don't know what's going to happen. You don't know where it's going to end."
"I don't want it to end," she says. "It's like being plucked form obscurity."
As for what her late mother would be saying to her now-famous daughter, Boyle says her advice would be, "Susan, keep going."

James Daniel was envisioning a career in engineering during a recent tour of the Hubner Manufacturing Corp. plant in Mount Pleasant.
At a glance
What: Youth Apprenticeship Program in Manufacturing.
How: The two-year program includes high school and college courses while students work alongside employees at manufacturing companies.
What's next: Trident Tech plans to expand the apprenticeship program next year to other sectors, including machining and information technology.
Contact: Students may contact TTC's director of high school programs, Melissa Stowasser, at 574-6312.
Employers interested in taking students and teaching them are encouraged to Trident Tech's apprenticeship program coordinator Mitchell Harp at 574-6979.
And later this summer, the 15-year-old can get started on that dream when he begins working alongside employees at the company, which produces items like jet gangway canopies.
"I'll get to learn a lot of new things and learn new skills in manufacturing that I didn't know before," he said. "This will also give an overall experience with other employees and a real business."
James is concentrating on material engineering at West Ashley High School and is among the 11 juniors and seniors from six Lowcountry high schools that make up the inaugural class of the Youth Apprenticeship Program in Manufacturing. The program is a collaboration with Trident Technical College and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Organizers recently announced the program as a way to create a local pool of skilled talent for manufacturers in the tri-county region.
Trident Technical College President Mary Thornley said the program will offer a competitive edge for the region. It's an extension of apprenticeships the two-year college has been offering to adults since 2007.
"This is the manufacturers' way to educate kids more than just with job shadowing," said Mitchell Harp, the college's director of apprenticeship programs.
Trident Tech officials say the youth program arms local high school students with the skills to be competitive for local jobs.
"It's the next phase of what the area needs to develop a skilled workforce for all these manufacturers coming to the area," Harp said. "It's an alternative way for employers to find the skilled workers. The older generations are retiring and the younger generations don't choose these occupations, and part of that reason is they don't know about them."
Students are paid $10 an hour by the employer and the Charleston Metro Chamber is paying the roughly $3,500 tuition and cost of books for each participant, officials said.
A skilled workforce
Mary Graham, senior vice president of business advocacy at the chamber, said the program will closely mirror Alamo Academies, an apprenticeship program in the San Antonio region that was formed years ago to let area employers pass on work skills to youths.
"We just kept hearing how those kids have gone on to work for those companies and they had good jobs," she said.
The Charleston area students will work as paid industrial mechanic apprentices at Robert Bosch, Detyens Shipyards, Hubner Manufacturing, IFA Rotorion and VTL Group starting in August.
In addition, the participants will take high school classes in the morning and Trident Tech's industrial mechanics courses for dual credit in the afternoon two times each week. They will also receive paid on-the-job training through mentored employment throughout the year.
At the end of the two-year program, students will have earned a high school diploma, an Industrial Mechanics certificate from Trident Tech, a journeyman credential from the U.S. Department of Labor, and two years of paid work experience.
Announcement of the program comes on the heels of the chamber releasing a report saying the area is expected to gain 25,000 new jobs in the next five years. The report, "Charleston Region Talent Strategy," highlights gaps between the education, skills and talent of potential employees in the region, and the needs of local businesses. The study found that there will be a greater need in education in markets such as industrial production, computer and software, science and engineering.
The report's findings increase the importance of the youth apprenticeship program, Graham said.
"We have a big need in this community and that is to create the opportunity for local students to get the skills needed to be able to get these great jobs that are being created," Graham said.
For manufacturers such as VTL Group, the apprentices offer an untapped resource.
"As the economy comes back and the businesses are moving back, there is literally a generation that is missing from manufacturing," said Jeff Teague, general manager. "You go to a manufacturing facility and take the mean age and it isn't 22 ... it's 45 and 48 and the whole generation is gone, and it's not a matter of hiring people in manufacturing. We will have to grow them, and so this is the start of that."
Louie Roberts, a human resources manager at automotive parts maker Bosch, said youth apprenticeships can fill critical employment gaps.
"We experience difficulty when we try to recruit for skilled labor in the area," he said.
Hands-on learning
For new Bosch apprentices like Michael Reynolds, a 15-year-old junior at Garrett Academy of Technology, the two years of training will help him sculpt a future.
"I want to get job experience and learn a bit more about what I want to do in life," he said.
Curtis Schall, a senior at Fort Dorchester High School, said he is looking to gain some new skills and earn his keep.
"I'm hoping I can use it to get a job in Bosch after the apprenticeship," he said.
VTL's Teague said the program also will offer a chance to help shed some stigma about manufacturing jobs, including images of dirty factories with poor working conditions.
"The floors are cleaner than a hospital ... and the machines are shiny and the people are wearing nice outfits and the pay is exceptional," Teague said. "This program will start to get the next generation interested in it."
VTL Group apprentice Walter Newman IV, a 16-year-old junior at Fort Dorchester High, has high hopes for the hands-on learning with the company, which makes precision automotive components for turbochargers.
"It's a really good program and it will give me a lot of good work experience for the future. And I'll get a head start in the workforce," he said.
As for James Daniel, the apprentice at Hubner Manufacturing, he said it's important to build on his concentration in material engineering.
"If they offer me a job after this program is finished, that would be good to work for them, but (I) should also be able to use them as a reference and that will be great," he said.

Man shot and killed in moving car
Published 7:04 AM CST Dec 03, 2012

One of the most unsung pieces of equipment in a computer is the PSU. To the average users, it is barely an after thought. Just unpack the computer and plug it in, then you're good to go. This goes for most electronics, just plug them in and make sure that the lights turn on. But not having enough power to the computer can lead to some hardware problems and performance issues from the computer, which usually leads most good trouble shooters to one question.
The most common question, and usually the first one asked, is "is it plugged in"? When you plug your three new graphics cards in to run in Crossfire or SLI and it does not fire up, you may not have enough power to carry the load of all those new graphics cards. The PSU may be the last thing you check because it usually is an after thought. But when you finally do get to the PSU, you may find out that you only have a 300 watt PSU in there. So after confirming that your problem is the PSU, your next step would be to decide on how much power and what features you are looking for.
The NZXT Power Performance 800 Watt Power Supply is here to help meet your power needs. The Power Performance 800, also known as the PP800 by NZXT, has gold connectors and is designed for low noise output. The PP800 has an intelligent control silent fan which helps control the low noise from the PSU. The Power Performance by NZXT is both SLI and Crossfire ready, so you can run the graphics card brand of your choice.

In one corner for the Buffalo Teacher Federation presidency is Phil Rumore, the incumbent running for a 17th term to maintain the union's current path.
In the other is Marc Bruno, a history teacher at Riverside High School and longtime member of the union's governing Council of Delegates, eager to forge a new relationship with the school district and articulate teachers' needs
About 3,500 active teachers have had ballots mailed to them, and they must be mailed back to the BTF by Saturday, when a computer company will tally the results.
"At the end of the day, who represents teachers is their decision," said Sam Radford, president of the District Parent Coordinating Council. "But in a lot of ways, whatever direction the teachers go is going to be the direction the district goes."
Bruno, at 38, is just over half the age of Rumore, who is 70 and began serving as BTF president in 1981. Bruno said Rumore has become a lightning rod and outlived his effectiveness.
"He's so polarizing now. Maybe that's not all of his fault, but when he walks into a room, a lot of people don't want to talk to him," Bruno said. "Maybe we need a fresh start, a fresh face to try and change that and be able to work with this new board."
Bruno said Rumore had failed in explaining to the public the multitude of problems confronting the school system.
"We look at schools when everyone went to school, when everyone spoke English, came to class on a regular basis, and there was parental involvement and discipline in the schools. That's not the world we live in, in the City of Buffalo, and I want to help educate the public on the real challenges," Bruno said.
"I feel I'm speaking for teachers. He's been out of the classroom for 32 years."
Bruno also blames Rumore for nasty campaign fliers that smeared several School Board candidates the BTF opposed in the recent election.
Rumore has denied that he or the BTF was involved, but Bruno doesn't buy it.
"I guarantee those fliers that were passed around Buffalo – that was my union money spent on those. It was a miserable failure; it was disturbing, and I'm very angry about it," he said.
Rumore, who began his career teaching special education for 13 years, said he loves challenges and is ready to roll up his sleeves again to meet them head on.
"My whole life has been spent fighting for teachers, and I'm not tired of doing that. I think I'm even more invigorated in doing that now," he said.
"If the perception of me is negative because I do not only fight for teachers but for students, whether people believe it or not, so be it," he said. "I make no apologies."
Rumore said Bruno is a relative novice who has not shown much commitment to the BTF over the years, citing the few committees that his opponent ever volunteered for.
Conditions have improved to try to hammer out a new teachers contract with the district, Rumore said, and the union would be far better served with his experienced hand at the helm.

Milwaukee County official accused of taking kickbacks
Warrant alleges sham billing
Freida Webb, the head of Milwaukee County's program to boost minority- and female-owned businesses, is accused of taking $3,430 in kickbacks from a local contractor by creating sham bills for teaching classes to aspiring county contractors, according to a search warrant filed in Circuit Court.
The bills were intended to tap community development block grant funds given to the county by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to the search warrant documents.
A 24-page account of the alleged scheme accuses Webb, 63, of conspiring with local business owner Homer L. Key to defraud the county and HUD through a backdated contract covering several months late last year. They worked together to double-bill the county for some classes and to charge for some services that were never provided, according to the court documents.
Searches of Webb's county office, at 2711 W. Wells St., and Key's 5-Star Construction and Renovation Services, at 2976 N. 29th St., on Friday included FBI agents as well as investigators for the Milwaukee County district attorney's office. Hundreds of pages of records, as well as emails from Webb's computer, were collected under the search warrants.
Neither Webb nor Key has been charged in the case, though Webb was jailed Thursday evening through late Friday. She was suspended without pay from her coun ty job Friday pending the outcome of the criminal probe.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said Tuesday a charging decision might be made in several weeks.
Webb could not be reached for comment.
Key denied the sham contract and kickback allegations when reached by phone Tuesday.
"You really think people do things like that?" Key said. "Nobody does stuff like that. That didn't happen."
He said prosecutors jumped to conclusions without having all the facts.
According to the search warrant by district attorney investigator Robert Stelter:
The classes included "Business Marketing and Etiquette," "Thinking Like an Entrepreneur," "Pricing for Profit" and others intended to prepare fledgling female- and minority-owned businesses for certification in the county's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program. The program is part of the county's Community Development Business Partners office, which Webb has run since 2003.
Webb allegedly created a sham contract for Key's company in December and submitted a change order claiming an additional $4,500 in payments for teaching the classes, for a total of $27,100. She forged fake invoices for teachers of some of the classes to justify the payments to Key, according to the search warrant.
"The contract was backdated, (it) falsely purported that Mr. Key was the prime contractor, (and it) billed for services not provided and double-billed for other services," the court document states. "Ms. Webb managed the contract and orchestrated the fraudulent billing scheme."
Key also billed the county $4,400 for a graduation ceremony on Dec. 13, which actually cost $840, according to the court document.
Webb's handling of the 2011 program was questioned by another county official, who told her the services should have been competitively bid.
Webb got a total of $3,430 in three checks from Key, including one for $2,700 that represented a 10% kickback on Key's 2011 contract, the court document says.
Key also was paid by the Milwaukee Urban League for instructing the same classes because the Urban League also has a contract with the county for such minority contractor classes.
Last May, an Urban League request for payment of $6,310 for a portion of its costs with the capacity building program were denied by Damon Dorsey, a county housing official. He told the Urban League that the county had already paid Key for the same work.
The document makes no allegation of impropriety by the Urban League.
It notes that Key also was paid $60,000 through another business, Key and Associates, for work on the county's capacity building program in 2009 and 2010. The Urban League was paid $40,000 for work on the same program in those years, raising suspicions of similar fraud in those years, according to the court document.
The county has used HUD Community Development Block Grant money on its minority contracting program every year since 2004. The amount started at $50,000 a year and declined to less than $30,000 for 2011. No CDBG money was earmarked for that purpose this year because the local HUD office told the county it violated HUD rules.
County Executive Chris Abele said he was considering changes in the county's disadvantaged business program to ensure its integrity. He might propose moving the office away from County Board oversight and placing it under the county's Department of Administrative Services, Abele spokesman Brendan Conway said.
County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic said the board would not support such a move. She said all contracts and travel for the remaining members of Webb's county office had been frozen while the criminal probe continues.
Webb was hired by then-County Executive Scott Walker and reported to him until 2005, when her office was placed under the oversight of the County Board.

The Spain squad marvel at another snappy headline from The Mambo…
So Spain are 'boring.' Of course, success often breeds contempt but boredom? Frankly, the mind boggles. The argument seemingly (and bafflingly) goes that such is their dominance, such is their superiority and such is their excellence that the game's innate ebb and flow is negated. The result becomes inevitable. Spain's control of possession becomes boring. Soporific. An end in itself. The spectacle suffers as the Spaniards' stultifying stranglehold of the ball, supposedly in 'non-threatening' areas, starves matches of incident; sterilising their emotional charge.
What's more, technical excellence, composure and understanding of the game are dismissed as traits admired only by self-consciously trendy football hipsters, late converts to a once-great sport as it slides sombrely to non-contact status. True, their triumphs have been marked by a procession of single-goal victories whilst performances have at times given the impression of a team rarely moving out of 2nd or 3rd gear, rarely seeking incision but is that not only further testament to their quality? Such accusations may have become more prevalent during Euro 2012 and admittedly, Spain at times may have at least appeared to be playing within themselves but the ravages of form and fatigue, not forgetting their adversaries' determination to claim a prestigious scalp can surely apportion the majority of the blame. The absurdity of such accusations is amplified further by the question of why would Spain deliberately seek for their fate to hang on a knife-edge? If indeed, it would be so straight-forward for them to unshackle and run amok, why refrain? Clearly, it would not have been. The counter-argument proposed so often and so tediously that their opponents, handcuffed by fear and pessimism, refused them the space to play may seem an insufficiently dreary excuse but it does however retain the ring of truth.
Cries of negativity were exacerbated by Vicente Del Bosque's reluctance to field a recognised striker, with David Silva and particularly, Cesc Fabregas positioned as a 'false 9.' Still, the lack of a focal point does not necessarily equate to conservatism, as Del Bosque's interpretation of the role differs wildly from that which brought Scotland manager Craig Levein such justified derision. True, Spain's wealth of playmakers perhaps costs them variety but in the absence of established, exceptional performers like David Villa and Carles Puyol, a desire for yet further control of possession can be explained. Whilst this may constitute a slight shift in emphasis from previous tournaments, Spain's philosophy remained utterly unscathed; their faith in the system remained unswerving even amidst swathes of (often ridiculous) criticism.
That faith would be wonderfully rewarded in Spain's emphatic evisceration of a forlorn Italy in the final. Xavi Hernández, by his imperious standards so subdued hitherto, once more stepped forward on the grandest of stages to deliver 2 sublime assists whilst Fabregas, formerly the archetypal playmaker, displayed admirable versatility to fulfil his forward brief flawlessly. With Andrés Iniesta typically sensational, Sergio Ramos' Herculean shifting inside as Puyol's replacement and Jordi Alba offering the dynamism many accused Spain of lacking, they presented a performance for the ages. Contrarily, detractors clung doggedly to their grievances. The perfection of Spain's 4-0 win, came the claim, validates their condemnation; the sense of frustration borne of the knowledge that this is what the Iberians are capable of if only they had the desire.
Inevitably, it's not so simple. In Italy, Spain encountered an opponent buoyed by a glorious defeat of Germany the previous round and one growing in confidence in their own ability to attack teams and control the play, especially with Andrea Pirlo in magisterial form. As such, their coach Cesare Prandelli, possibly influenced by the consensus labelling Spain's displays as somewhat lacklustre, opted not to defend and counter but to indulge a spirit of adventure. The Italian had done brilliantly in steering a talented though unfancied and out-of-form squad to the final, particularly in the context of the latest match-fixing scandal engulfing calico but in a pure footballing contest, there was only ever one likely winner. The gulf is just too vast. Spain's technical and tactical mastery in conjunction with their selfless team ethic and unyielding devotion to a clear, fixed identity has them light-years ahead of the field. Relentless glory may bring the sting of bitterness but this is not the dour domination of Steve Davis or Pete Sampras. This is an astonishing amalgamation of great individuals into a seemingly invincible whole. This is what the game has been waiting for. This is the pinnacle of sporting excellence. The finest international side of their age are now unquestioned immortals and given the depth of talent at their disposal and relative youth of their first team, surely their sights must be set on retaining the World Cup in Brazil.
Player of the Tournament – Andrés Iniesta
Yes, Andrea Pirlo was at times majestic and arguably even more decisive but Iniesta was consistently excellent. Perhaps awarding an attacking player without a single goal to his name as the tournament's standout appears a curious choice but whilst Iniesta doesn't quite embody Spain's philosophy quite so perfectly as Xavi Hernández, his fingerprints were all over much of what was so impressive about their play. Intelligent, selfless, technically flawless and surely the game's most effortless, elegant exponent; no praise is too high for Barcelona's diminutive schemer.
Most over-rated player of the tournament – Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite a strong claim from Mario Balotelli (1 decisive game seemingly eclipsing weeks of profligacy), this is The Mambo and in honesty, Ronaldo's name was all over this before a ball was kicked. Seriously, the Portuguese could've emulated Michel Platini's performances in 1984 and these pages would cheerfully highlight flies in the ointment. Nevertheless, one exceptional performance against a ragged Netherlands team beset by disharmony followed by a goal against a tame Czech Republic and an abject showing in his nation's meeting with Denmark and anonymous outings versus Germany and Spain are ignored by so many. He shall forever remain a player driven by ego and athleticism whilst his taste for power over precision continues to expose his limitations. The telling statistic that Ronaldo has now fired off 70 shots from outside the box in major finals without registering a goal underlines his lack of game understanding and contempt for team ethic. A myth and a charlatan.
Most disappointing player – Christian Eriksen
Denmark may have drawn the short-straw as the least deadly in the group of death and whilst their displays earned much of the squad admiration, precocious playmaker Christian Eriksen was largely invisible. Entering the Euros as the Eredivisie's Player of the Season and with a clutch of prominent admirers keen to tempt him from Ajax, the man touted as his nation's greatest talent since the peerless Michael Laudrup was a wild disappointment. In a squad high on endeavour yet lacking in imagination, the platform was provided for the 20 year-old to exhibit his skills but instead he left eclipsed by Martin Krohn-Deli, a journeyman forward who had failed earlier in his career at the very club where his most hotly-touted teammate is now flourishing.
Manager of the tournament – Vicente Del Bosque
Italy's Cesare Prandelli may present a strong claim and his side contributed much to proceedings, involved as they were in perhaps the competition's finest matches – their defeat of Germany sandwiched between 2 encounters with Spain. In the latter of those 2 however, Vicente Del Bosque's claim became impregnable. Viciously condemned alternatively for not fielding a centre forward, his insistence on playing Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Xabi Alonso and for his perceived pragmatism despite the lavish talents at his disposal, Del Bosque in his uniquely humble, understated way, simply stayed true to his vision and was rewarded handsomely. Croatia and Portugal may have rattled Spain and their play wasn't always as sparklingly fluent as expected but the stats will show his side were superior in just about every aspect of the game whilst the history books will record him amongst the greats.
Most over-loved team – Germany
Germany were of course, the neutrals' sweethearts. Youthful, dynamic and allegedly attacking, it was oh-so-fashionable to tip Joachim Low's charges for glory. Still, as previously covered, inconvenient truths were wilfully neglected. This vintage was essentially the team of 2010 that were so comprehensively outplayed by Spain plus Mats Hummels. Hummels is a fine player who accordingly enjoyed a fine tournament but his nation's forwards, whilst intelligent (Lukas Podolski excepted) and offering great movement, aren't great technicians, the brilliant Mesut Ozil aside. They may have moved on from the excessively counter-attacking philosophy of 2 years ago but Low's pragmatism in the Italy game perhaps betrayed an awareness of his players' weaknesses against technically superior opponents and they were deservingly defeated.
Most disappointing team – Russia
The Dutch may have been poor but then, with Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong paired in central midfield, what else was expected? Likewise, a gifted France once again flattered to deceive amidst further reports of ill-discipline, though they did at least escape from the competition's initial stage. The same cannot be said of Russia. Drawn into by far the weakest group and opening their campaign with a wonderfully fluent, authoritative dismantling of the Czechs, hopes soared that Dick Advocaat's classy team could prove themselves dangerous dark horses. Sadly, it wasn't to pass as Russia wilted hideously in their remaining fixtures, dominating possession but creating little and departing limply with their minimum ambitions unfulfilled.
Squad of the Tournament
In truth, a 1-11 team of the tournament would be so dominated by Spain as to render it a farce…so here is a cop-out 23-man squad of the competition's stand-out performers:
(note: We are more than aware that players such as the Czech Republic's Petr Jiracek performed admirably but he's just so limited and awkward in possession that he was never in contention despite his displays arguably warranting inclusion. Same goes for Sami Khedira. There is a shameless bias towards classy, technical footballers here. We know).
Goalkeepers: Casillas (Spain); Gianluigi Buffon (Italy)
Defenders: Ramos (Spain); Alba (Spain); Hummels (Germany); Coentrao (Portugal); Pique (Spain); Khacheridi (Ukraine); Chiellini (Italy)
Midfielders: Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso, Busquets (all Spain); Ozil (Germany); De Rossi, Pirlo (both Italy); Moutinho (Portugal); Modric (Croatia) who needs width?
Forwards: Silva, Fabregas (both Spain); Cassano (Italy); Mandzukic (Croatia); Ibrahimovic (Sweden).
On standby: Patricio (Portugal); Debuchy (France); Agger (Denmark); Dzagoev (Russia); Montolivo (Italy).
As an aside, this really wasn't a tournament for strikers. The Mambo expected much of Karim Benzema but was often deployed bafflingly deep whilst few other number 9s contributed much of note. Contrastingly, last year's Copa America was marked by practically every team's use of a recognised, often highly-talented spearhead. These Euros will perhaps be remembered as the tournament Spain won without a striker.

Few new products
Phillip Roberts said farmers can't expect a lot of new products for insect control so product stewardship remains a critical commitment.
Cotton has done its share over the past 25 years in preserving insecticides and protecting the environment, he said.
"In 1986, Georgia cotton farmers averaged more than 15 applications per year. That was the year prior to the boll weevil eradication program. From 1992 through 1995, we averaged four or five sprays a year. We had eliminated the boll weevil and saved a lot of spray applications."
The boll weevil program also allowed farmers to use integrated pest management systems.
"In the early 1990s we targeted worm control and sprayed four or five times with pyrethroid insecticides. When Bt cotton came on in 1996, we cut down to two or three applications per year. Now, we've seen a shift in insect populations."
Roberts said IPM has become more widely used. "IPM means using all the control tactics available so economic losses and harmful environmental side effects are minimized," he said. "We put a premium on scouting and our objective is to preserve an economic yield.
"We have great tools and our tools will get better, but we will still have yield-limiting pests. We continue to need innovation for control."
He said a few new products are coming on line, including Belt, Belay and Coragen. Pre-mixes and co-packs are also important tools, he said. "Be sure both active ingredients are included in premixes," he said.
Resistance prevention is also important, Roberts said. "Cotton has a complex of pests." And even similar pests may require a different control program. "Brown or green stink bugs, for instance, need different controls. Also, corn earworm or fall armyworm may be in the mix. Treating for one pest also may affect the population of another pest."
He said cultural practices such as tillage, planting dates, use of at-planting insecticides, control thresholds and susceptibility affect management strategies.
"And even with Bt cotton, we still need IPM. New technology is coming with WideStrike Advanced, BGIII, and TwinLink. We're also concerned with loss of Temik and methyl parathion.
"Resistance is a concern and we have to ask: Are we using IPM to the fullest extent possible?"
Stanley Culpepper said new chemistry for weed control will be a welcome addition, especially when developing tactics to combat glyphosate resistant weed species. "Warrant fits a similar application window as Dual Magnum for Palmer amaranth," he said. "That gives us another tool."
He said GlyTol, WideStrike and Liberty Link cotton are also important players to provide "broad spectrum weed control. We have to understand tolerance," he said.
"Roundup and Ignite offer more options to control weeds," Culpepper said. "One fills in gaps where the other is weak. But we will still have weak areas."
He said farmers should develop a "systems approach for resistant Palmer amaranth, using several chemistries and other practices.
"Using GlyTol or Liberty Link requires exact timing," he said, "for effective control. If you can't be timely, technology will not work for you." He said water volume, nozzle types and time of day all make a difference. "Do not apply Ignite within an hour of sunrise or sunset," Culpepper said. "Also, with Ignite, you must kill the weed with the first application."
He said 2, 4-D resistant cotton will provide new opportunities but with challenges to manage drift as well. "It will be a tool for managing giant ragweed, horseweed, Palmer amaranth and others. But neither 2, 4-D nor Clarity are effective at controlling large Palmer amaranth. Farmers have to be smart," he said. "We need to maintain currently used herbicides and be aware of potential for off-target movement of 2, 4-D and Dicamba. And don't abuse Ignite."

Treatments are available to alleviate the physical and emotional impact of myeloma. Early use of supportive care measures is just as important as initiating frontline therapy.
Cancer or cancer treatment fatigue is a distressing, persistent, subjective sense of tiredness or exhaustion that is not proportional to recent activity and interferes with usual functioning. Three common causes of fatigue in myeloma patients are:
All can result in weight loss, decreased appetite, and fatigue and weakness.
If your fatigue is the result of a source other than anemia, there are no laboratory tests that can be used to diagnose it. Your healthcare team will need to evaluate your situation and try to identify the source or sources of your fatigue and find ways to manage it most effectively.
Patients need to openly discuss their feelings of fatigue and weakness with members of their healthcare team. Do not think that feeling tired and weak is not important enough to mention at your appointments. Do take note of the following:
Anemia is very common in patients with multiple myeloma. In fact, at least 60%-70% of patients with multiple myeloma have anemia at the time they are diagnosed with the disease. Some of the therapies that successfully kill myeloma cells suppress the bone marrow's ability to make needed blood cells.
If your doctor suspects you have anemia, a physical examination will be performed and your blood will be drawn for lab tests. Be sure to report to your healthcare team any of the following symptoms:
Bone Disease
Multiple myeloma is characterized by a unique form of destructive bone disease which occurs in the majority of patients. Since patients may survive for many years post-diagnosis, clinicians have attempted to devise therapeutic approaches in myeloma that would relieve disabling symptoms, in particular severe bone pain, thereby improving quality of life. New therapies are still needed for myeloma bone disease. New targets have been identified and are being addressed in clinical trials.
Bone Lesions and Bone Loss: Up to 90% of myeloma patients develop bone lesions during the course of their disease; 70% have bone loss in the spine. A vertebral compression fractures (VCF) occurs when the vertebra fractures or collapses because the bone is too weak to withstand the pressure or stress placed upon it. With multiple fractures, the spine shortens and becomes misaligned, causing a curvature of the spine known as "kyphosis." Pain occurs both suddenly, as a result of the movement of the fracture fragments, and often secondarily, as a result of the deformity, causing a chronic dull ache in the facet joint of the vertebra.
Your diet is an important part of your treatment for cancer. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after treatment can help you feel better and stay stronger. While no specific diet has been developed for myeloma patients, this is an area of ongoing research.
Caution should be used in two areas:

In a suit filed to block requests for those records, the parish argues the documents may be excluded from the public records act because federal and state investigators also have requested them. But the legal restriction the parish cites protects specific records of investigative agencies, not of the parish.
The city of New Orleans unsuccessfully tried the same argument last year, suggesting it couldn't release records on its home-gutting program because the city inspector general had asked for them. The inspector general rejected the city argument, of course.
If Jefferson Parish's argument were accepted, the public wouldn't get to see public contracts after they become the subject of a corruption probe, which is when public interest in those contracts is at its apex. Taxpayers could not see Orleans Parish School Board contracts involving bribery allegations against Mose Jefferson or the city's crime camera contracts. Public records do not become secret simply because law enforcement officers have asked to see them.
Yet Jefferson Parish saw fit to sue, naming among the plaintiffs any "individuals requesting information." That includes residents, who surely didn't expect their parish would sue them if they exercised their rights.
The parish lawsuit reflects a poor grasp of the law or an intent to shield public records that may further expose the entanglements of Mr. Whitmer's firm. Neither alternative serves parish residents. The Broussard administration should abandon this doomed legal challenge, release the public records and fire Mr. Whitmer.

"Leaders call on the Capitol"
As Californians teeter on economic recovery, ranks of the under-employed and unemployed continue to attest to a dismal job market.
The state's response? Gov. Jerry Brown's latest proposal would effectively gut the program of its real benefits. In response, five Santa Clarita Valley leaders urged state legislators this week to protect elements of the state's Enterprise Zone Program, preserving benefits that encourage local companies to continue putting people back to work.
"To Mars and beyond"
Located in Valencia, Tri-Tek specializes in the design and construction of bulk cable for advanced multiconductor electrical wiring harnesses. The 24 year old company often works on many top-secret, mission-critical projects for the military and aerospace industries.
"Snapshot hints at turnaround"
No one can call an economic recovery with any certainty, but the city of Santa Clarita has tracked some signs of recovery in its latest economic snapshot report.
Sales tax revenue was up 7.7 percent in fourth quarter 2010 over the prior year. The hotel Transient Occupancy Tax was up 6.1 percent over the same period last year and location filming in March was up 12 percent.
"Embassy Suites Valencia sold in auction"
The Embassy Suites Valencia hotel was included in an auction sale of 64 hotels owned by Innkeepers USA Trust. The group of hotels had been in bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy court is expected to make its final ruling on the offer June 23. Hotel management will remain the same.
"All Valley celebrates the art of saving"
The All Valley Federal Credit Union celebrated its grand opening with the "Art Mobile," a vehicle donated by BMW Valencia for children to paint on. Raffle prizes were awarded every hour, and one grand-prize winner took home an iPad. The KHTS AM 1220 fire truck was also on the scene for children to tour.
"Store to take seat in SCV"
Ashley Furniture Industries Inc. purchased the former Wickes furniture store building in Santa Clarita for $3.7 million. The property was only on the market for two or three months according to Lee & Associates who represented the seller.
"Group urges support of AB 32"
A group of California CEOs and business leaders sent a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown this week urging him to remain committed to fully implementing AB 32. The CEOs say that between their companies and business memberships, the group collectively employs tens of thousands of Californians.

ZnO nanowire nanogenerators inspire self-powered active gas sensor
In a recent study, scientists have coupled the gas-sensing and piezoelectric properties of ZnO nanowire nanogenerators (NGs) in a single physical process. Their goal is to realize a new type of self-powered active gas sensor.
Among various NG-based active sensors, ZnO nano/micro-wires are popular building blocks because of their semiconducting and piezoelectric coupling properties. Also, ZnO one-dimensional nanostructures are extremely sensitive and fast-responding materials for gas sensing due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and surface adsorption activity.
The output of a piezoelectric nanogenerator (NG) fabricated using ZnO nanowire arrays is influenced by the density of the surface charge carriers at the nanowire surfaces. Adsorption of gas molecules modifies the surface carrier density through a screening effect, and thus, the output of the NG is sensitive to the gas concentration.
In the work, the piezoelectric output voltage of a test device was measured in dry air, pure oxygen, water vapor (85 RH%) and H2S (1000 ppm in air). Here, the voltage response of the device in different gases was 0.45 V, 0.7 V, 0.35 V and 0.198 V, respectively.
The piezoelectric output voltage of the NGs decreased as the concentration of H2S increased. Upon exposure to 100, 250, 400, 550, 700, 850 and 1000 ppm H2S, the piezoelectric output voltage of NGs under a constant applied strain (0.012%, 0.4 Hz) is about 0.398, 0.360, 0.289, 0.251, 0.203, 0.202 and 0.198 V, respectively. The sensitivity S against 100, 250, 400, 550, 700, 850 and 1000 ppm H2S is about 13.1, 25.5, 55.7, 79.3, 121.7, 122.8 and 127.3 %, respectively

Chief justice to speak in Jamestown
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. -- Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. will speak in Jamestown, N.Y., this spring.
Roberts will give a talk May 17 at 10 a.m. at the Robert H. Jackson Center, 305 E. Fourth St., Jamestown, according to the center's website.
The visit by the chief justice comes 10 years after the dedication of the center that was named for another member of the U.S. Supreme Court. Jackson served on it from 1941 to 1954.
Roberts, a Buffalo native, was nominated as chief justice and took his seat in 2005.
"This extraordinary event will be tailored to make history come alive for area students, helping them gain a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution and the role of the judiciary in our federal system of government," James Johnson, president and chief executive of the center, said in a statement.
"Invitations will be extended to area schools and the general public."

Say, About That Wacky Poll About People Believing PBO Is A Muslim….
Marc A. Thiessen, certainly not as perky and hawt as Tiffany A. Thiessen (though, Marc certainly has a more steady gig), puts it all in perspective
Much attention has been paid in recent days to a poll by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life showing that 18 percent of Americans incorrectly believe that President Obama is a Muslim. But the results of another Pew poll on religion released last December were far more shocking. It turns out that 36 percent of Democrats claim to have communed with the dead, and that 19 percent believe in casting a curse on someone using the "evil eye." Think about that: According Pew, more Democrats believe in the "evil eye" than Americans believe Obama is a Muslim.
The fact is you can find 20 percent of people anywhere who believe in almost anything. As The Post's Aug. 22 Outlook section noted, 20 percent of Americans believe that space aliens have made contact with humans on Earth.
He also, to take the fun out of it, points out that Team Barry should be more concerned with the 55% who think he is a raging socialist, not too mention Obama's tanking ratings, and Obama's tanking economic policies. Heck, even in liberal Portland, Oregon, 21% believe he's a Muslim. Weird. But, hey, cranks are everywhere!
- MLB umpires miss 20% of close calls
- Nearly 20 Percent of Drivers May Be 'Unfit for Roads,' Says Survey
- Researchers at Baylor University found 37 percent of those surveyed believed places can be haunted
- 20% admit to peeing in pools
- 6 percent believe that the moon landings did not take place.
- Twenty Percent of Americans Think the Sun Revolves Around Earth
- 22 percent believe President Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.
- 42% of Democrats think Bush either caused 9/11 or let it happen
- 12% Of Americans think that July 4th is Other/No Opinion
- 22% thought No Opinion/Other when asked what country the USA gained its independence from (same link)
- Only 14% think that the American system of government is not broken
- 5% do not believe in God
- 18% believe they have seen or been in the presence of a ghost
- 25% strongly approve of the job Obama is doing
- 21% believe in Michelle O. Hillary witches (yeah, cheap shot. Lighten up, Francis)
Really, I just had to make the list long enough to slip in that 2nd Tiffany photo, ya know.

Haren to Nats: "Keep this group together"
By Andrew Simon
Sunday afternoon's loss to the Marlins was Dan Haren's final start of the season at Nationals Park. By his own admission, it probably was his last there, period, as a member of the Nationals.
Haren signed a one-year deal with Washington last offseason, and despite a second-half rebound, the overall results have been rocky. At 9-14 with a 4.87 ERA, the veteran right-hander admits, "I was part of the reason we were so many games down," in the playoff race.
Yet even if Haren doesn't return, he sees a bright future for the Nats — as long as they stay the course. In his opinion, the club shouldn't take this year's likely disappointing finish as a sign to make radical changes. He pointed to his last team, the Angels, who went 89-73 but missed the playoffs with Haren in 2012. An altered roster, including big free agent signing Josh Hamilton, was 76-78 going into Sunday.
"This area has a lot to look forward to," Haren said. "I think last year in L.A., we won 89-90 games and they kind of blew up the team, and I think they've struggled most of the year and got on track late in the year. I think that was the wrong thing to do.
"I know there'll be some subtle changes, me probably being one of them. But I think the most important thing is to keep this group together. This could be a building block. Last year they had a great year and this year we've shown a lot of fight here the last few months. I think as close as things could stay to the guys in this room, I think the better."
That means keeping the roster largely intact. But, as Haren said, it's also "top-down, manager-wise."
The Nationals, of course, must find a replacement for the retiring Davey Johnson, who has voiced support for bench coach Randy Knorr, in addition to third base coach Trent Jewett. The organization also figures to consider outside candidates, but Haren thinks Knorr would be a good choice.
"Randy I think could step in and do a real good job," Haren said. "I think the guys overall really like him. So it just kind of goes into the organization not really needing to do that much. We got off to a slow start, but I think we've learned a lot of things."

Estate Planning in the Digital Age
Gerry W. Beyer
Texas Tech University School of Law
April 21, 2013
Recently, a new subdivision of property has emerged that many people label as "digital assets" such as accounts used for e-mail, professional and personal data backups, banking, investment, and shopping, domain names and web-hosting accounts, social networking accounts, and avatars for online games. While estate planners have perfected techniques to transfer traditional types of property, many estate planners do not address digital assets when preparing their clients' estates.
This article aims to educate estate planning professionals on the importance of planning for the disposition of digital assets, provides those planning techniques, and discusses how to administer an estate containing digital assets. The appendix contains a sample form which may be used to organize digital assets.

Conference largely unmoved by Gary Johnson's principles
February 11, 2011 - Mike Maneval
Gary Johnson, former Republican governor of New Mexico, spoke at the Conservative Political Action Committee's annual conference in suburban D.C. on Friday. The event is drawing a number of potential candidates for the Republicans' 2012 presidential nomination - and some are better received than others.
Johnson endorsed repeal of the health care reform act of 2010, but, as a man of principle, went one step further and embraced a position I've advocated in this blog in the past: Repeal of Medicare Part D. A consistent libertarian, Johnson told reporter Amanda Carey from political website the Daily Caller that the new congressional majority needs to look at cuts to Medicare, Social Security and Defense. "I don't think there's any kicking the can down the road anymore," the Daily Caller reports he said.
And how receptive was the conference to Johnson's acknowledgement that a federal government that cannot justify providing some Americans with health insurance also can't justify paying some Americans' prescription drug bills? The Boston Globe's Less is More blog notes the crowd was tepid and uninspired by his speech, applauding only the most generic lines. And as the Daily Caller and Politico, another political website observe, Johnson nearly didn't get to speak at all, with conference organizers only adding him to the itinerary at the last minute.

Journalism doesn't have to depend on the hate-anger-fear click machine. Help us prove it before Friday's deadline.
Journalism doesn't have to depend on the hate-anger-fear click machine. Help us prove it before Friday's deadline.
On Thursday afternoon, as the White House summit on health care reform was ending, a parade of Washington pooh-bahs moved from the Old Executive Office Building, past the outside of the West Wing, to the front entrance of the White House for a final meeting, where President Barack Obama would hold a seminar-like session. ("Senator Mitch McConnell, got any thoughts to share?") As I watched Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Rep. Henry Waxman and others strolling along, I spotted a senior administration official who handles economic issues. He, too, was heading to the East Wing, and he was holding a collection of thick briefing books.
"Having fun?" I asked.
"Any time I'm not working on AIG and Citibank, it's a good day," he said. "Health care is fun compared to that. Believe me, I'm glad to be out of the office doing this."
How encouraging, I thought.
"You know what makes everything so hard?" he asked me. Before I could answer, he stepped closer to me.
"It's the economy," he remarked. "We could deal with any of this"—referring to the assorted financial crises underway—"if the economy wasn't so bad. You have one big insurance company that goes bad? Okay, you can go out and find other companies that will buy up parts of it. You can work something out. That's not difficult to do. But now there's no one out there to buy. You have a home foreclosure crisis. You can put together a plan. But there's no plan that's going to work if the guy who's foreclosed on loses his job and can't make a house payment. You have a major auto company go bust? You can prop it up, throw it some capital. But if no one is buying cars, it doesn't matter. Look at Toyota. It's one of the best run companies in the world. And it can't make it these days."
As he said this, he shook his head slowly. He looked deeply perturbed.
"We can come up with all sorts of solutions," he said. "But it's the economy." He noted that he and other administration aides are working around the clock, that every day he jumps from one crisis to another, and that he feels that he and other administration policymakers have plenty of latitude to craft innovative responses to the assorted economic problems. Yet he said that he and his comrades cannot change the economic environment within which these policies are to be implemented.
I ventured a metaphor: You can modify or retrofit a supertanker, but if there's no water in the ocean, it's not going to be able to change direction. He responded: "There's no oxygen." He then smiled, rearranged the briefing books in his arms, and said, "So that's why I'm happy to be doing health care today." He trotted off to the East Wing.
Oh my, I thought. When the people in charge come to think of health care reform as the easy part of their job, the nation certainly is in deep trouble. But the conversation also highlighted the psychological burden being shouldered by Obama and his aides. They are striving mightily to stave off total economic collapse, and they have no idea if their policies will work. In their free and private moments, do they quietly (and justifiably) freak out? I had the impression that this fellow does. But thankfully, he and his colleagues have diversions--such as fixing the health care system.

Warhammer 40000 Space Marines and Space Marine Tactics
Space Marines and Space Marine Tactics examines the Space Marines chapters, the Space Marines special rules, the Space Marines tactics, plus a Space Marines Gallery and much more.
Space Marines are the easiest army for a new player to learn. They are very flexible in their tactics. For example a standard tactical team can fulfil the roles of infantry, support and assault. The downside of this flexibility is that Space Marines tend to be out numbered by enemy troops. When you play using Space Marines you are saying that quality is better than quantity!
General Tactics looks at tactics and strategies that work for all the Space Marines Chapters. I focus on Space Marines Chapter that do not have a Codex.
HQ., Elite, Troops, Fast Attack, and Heavy Support looks at the role these different units play in the Space Marines army.
Marine Chapters looks at the different Space Marine Chapters and how their character changes the style of play and their tactics and special rules.

LOS ANGELES — Movie fans slipped into "Oblivion" as the Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller led Hollywood with a $38.2 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That domestic haul comes on top of $33.7 million "Oblivion" added in overseas markets, where the film began rolling out a week earlier. "Oblivion" raised its overseas total to $112 million and its worldwide receipts to $150.2 million.
Though many people Friday were caught up in coverage of the manhunt for the suspect in the Boston Marathon explosions, it seems to have had little effect on how the film fared.
"Oblivion" took in $13.3 million on opening day Friday and $14.9 million on Saturday. That 12 percent increase is not unusual for big new releases, which typically do better business on Saturday than Friday.
While Boston was on lockdown much of Friday, that market only accounts for about 1 percent of the nationwide box office, said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, which released "Oblivion." The manhunt mainly affected matinee business, with theaters reopening Friday night, when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was taken into custody.
"Once the guy was arrested, I think people got back into their regular routine," Rocco said.
The previous weekend's top film, the Warner Bros. baseball drama "42," held up well, slipping to second-place with $18 million in its second weekend. The Jackie Robinson biography starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford raised its domestic total to $54.1 million and is on its way to the $100 million mark, said Dan Fellman, Warner's head of distribution.
Overseas, Paramount's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" got a lift with $40 million, most of it coming from a $33 million debut in China. The action sequel has topped $200 million internationally and $300 million worldwide.
"Oblivion" came in a bit higher than industry expectations. But despite its strong opening, Hollywood's 2013 revenue funk continued, with overall domestic receipts at $109 million, down 19.4 percent from the same weekend last year, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
A year ago, two new romances — the comedy "Think Like a Man" and the drama "The Lucky One" — combined for $56 million that weekend, while the blockbuster "The Hunger Games" remained strong with nearly $15 million.
"Even Tom Cruise was unable to beat the strength of two really strong newcomers that were devoid of stars anywhere near in his league," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "That tells you the difference between last year and this year.

All the Shorts and longs either bashing or pumping this stock have me laughing. This company, in it's current form, is just a year old. There is nothing to baseline it against, since Invitrogen bought AB last year and became 'Life'. It started at the worst possible time, stock wise, right at the bottom of the stock luge at about $22 a share, and has come up steadily from there - not surprising based on the fact that the whole market has climbed out of that hole. The CEO, Greg Lucier, seems to have taken up a crusade of aquisitions in the last few years, so I doubt this is the last. So far, the market has responded favorably to this, and his descions seem to be good, but who know's if he can keep that up.Just because this stock is at an all time high, is no reason to sell, nor is it's upward trend a reason to buy. It seems to be a solid player in the biotech community and has good financials, so I think only a fool would short right now. On the other hand, cheerleading a run up to 60 is just about as unfounded. In my opinion, this stock has support in the 50's, so if you think Greg continues to have that 'vision' thing when it comes to company growth, invest in the company. If you don't, don't, or even short.... it's your money.
Don't short-- don't buy-- don't sell---- What is a person to do?
I am Buy+Hold and Long on this stock. I am not guessing we will see 60 anytime soon, but I could see low to mid 50's pretty easily.

Balding honoured for Olympics work
Published 07/12/2012
Clare Balding has accepted an award "on behalf of all women in sports television" when she was honoured for her role as presenter during the London Olympics.
Speaking at the 22nd Sky Women in Film and Television awards, she said: "I hope that in the future you're going to see female anchors working together, you'll see female commentators which is the next big breakthrough.
"There are one or two who do commentating but very few. Obviously sports presenters, you see women who've done phenomenally well; Hazel, Gabby, Sue, Mishal Husain, all of us working together I hope knowing our stuff, and I think that's what we've been valued for. I take the award on behalf of all of the women in sports television."
Balding won the ITV Studios Achievement of the Year for her presenting during this summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games. The London Olympics were the most watched TV event in UK broadcasting history.
Balding said she thought honouring women for their achievements in film and television was "hugely important".
She continued: "I think it's important for young girls who are, I hope, watching us and thinking 'that's a job I want to do' to know that warmth, humour, intelligence, doing your homework; that's what matters. I'm not getting this award because of what I look like, or my dress sense - we all know that."
Actress Olivia Colman received the MAC Best Performance Award for her various roles throughout the year, which included playing Carol Thatcher in The Iron Lady. She was presented with the award by her Peep Show co-stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb, who said he was excited to be at the event to "give Olivia Colman a prize for being generally terrific; I think that's the category".
Colman said: "To be recognised by your sisterhood, fellowhood, is lovely. It doesn't really get much better than that, it's really really nice."
Guests included Dame Julie Walters, who presented drama producer Ruth Caleb with this year's EON Productions Lifetime Achievement Award. Caleb produced Pat And Margaret, which starred Walters and her comedy collaborator Victoria Wood.
Walters claimed women in the industry have a harder time than men. She said: "We struggle, as opposed to men, who don't struggle quite so much. We have to support one another, and this is a way of getting together and networking, and it's a brilliant organisation."

The Idol runner-up, 22, was injured Tuesday night when she tripped backstage before a concert at Bobcats Arena in Charlotte, N.C., the New York Post reports.
McPhee went on with the show, singing two songs while wearing slippers. X-rays taken at a hospital afterward revealed a hairline fracture in her left foot, the Post says.
In spite of the injury, McPhee will stay on the "Idols Live" tour. "She's in discomfort, but she's fine," said Roger Widynowski, a rep for McPhee's record label, RCA. "She will continue on the tour and is not defaulting."
Although the tour kicked off on July 6, McPhee missed the first three weeks, citing doctors' orders not to sing while she was sick. She was scheduled to perform with her fellow Idol finalists for the first time on July 27 in Pittsburgh, but her flight was cancelled due to bad weather.
