Teva Pharmaceutical (NYSE: TEVA ) , one of the world's largest generic drug producers, reported its third-quarter results before the opening bell this morning just one day after its CEO, Jeremy Levin, announced he was stepping down from his role as CEO.
For the quarter, Teva delivered sales growth of 1.7% to $5.06 billion, helped primarily by generic and branded pharmaceutical growth in the United States, while producing a profit of $1.27 per share, down marginally from the $1.28 EPS reported in the year prior. Comparatively, Wall Street expected revenue of just $5 billion in sales and EPS of $1.26.
This quarter was really all about the U.S. in the positives column, and foreign-exchange rates in the negative.
Within the U.S., Teva grew its generic business by 6%, aided by the recent launch of generic versions of cholesterol drug Niaspan and brain tumor treatment Temodar. Its specialty brands segment (i.e., its branded drug segment) produced 3% growth, aided primarily by a price increase for Copaxone, the best selling multiple sclerosis drug in the world. Copaxone brought in $1.05 billion in worldwide revenue, up 1% from the prior year, and was responsible for nearly 21% of Teva's revenue this quarter.
On the flip side, Teva struggled in its rest of the world (ROW) market segment excluding Europe. Currency conversion, most notably from the Japanese Yen, produced a minus 8% effect on ROW revenue, which accounts for 18% of Teva's total sales. The company also pointed towards weaker sales of Copaxone in Russia when explaining the subpar results in this segment.
Sales in Europe were also affected negatively by fluctuating currencies, but to a lesser degree -- minus 4%. What weakness was visible in European generic operations, which saw sales decline by 1% (excluding currency effects), was more than made up for by 12% sales growth (excluding currency effects) in its specialty brands business.
Looking ahead, Teva tightened both its revenue and EPS projections from prior forecasts to a range of $19.7 billion to $20.3 billion in sales and $4.95-$5.05 in EPS.

"Stay tuned for more behind the scenes footage!"
Mao Asada is so adorable.
Does anyone know if the Shibutanis know how to speak Japanese?
But the real reason that I'm responding to your question is that it is a good excuse to make note that Jason Brown is studying Japanese, per an Aug 28 tweet from him.

Acronym for "first against the wall". Sometimes it's also lengthened to FATWWTRC (first against the wall when the revolution comes). The phrase is from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and is used most often to show anger or disapproval regarding abuses of authority.

V. Standing Committee Reports
A. Committee on Academic and Curricular Affairs: Senator N. Bacon reported that the committee met on Wednesday, April 30, 2003. Those present were: Nora Bacon, Jody Neathery-Castro, Ethel Williams, Gary Krause, Joan Latchaw, Jim Akers. The committee briefly discussed the new course designed to meet the General Education math requirement, noting that it may address some of the concerns raised in discussions last year about Math 1310. It was strongly recommended that faculty members be provided with a faculty handbook (perhaps online) covering campus resources and policies. The handbook might include such items as, an organizational chart, information about relationships among the colleges (and among NU campuses), guidance for academic advising, current description of resources for faculty, current description of resources for students, promotion and tenure guidelines for each college. The Faculty Senate President will form an Ad Hoc committee on this.
B. Committee on Faculty Personnel and Welfare: Senator D'Souza reported that the committee met on April 30, 2003. Attendees were: Bennett, Carlson, D'Souza, Kwak, Lin, and Mei. Committee members presented their findings of the tenure, promotion, tenure and reappointment guidelines of the colleges assigned to them, and agreed that all colleges appear to be consistent with University guidelines for promotion, tenure and reappointment except the College of Arts and Sciences. A motion was presented to the Executive Committee and Cabinet, but, as it was felt that this is a problem unique to the College of Arts and Sciences, and wishing to show support for University guidelines, it was sent back to committee.
C. Committee on Goals and Directions: Senator Garver was unable to attend this meeting. Senator Allen submitted the report. The committee met on Wednesday, April 23. Present were Chris Allen, Bruce Garver, Caroline Simpson, Angela Valle. Excused was Karl Kosloski. The Committee expressed its concern over the extent to which faculty representative self-governance has been weakened through its having been largely circumvented by two recently initiated means of determining UNO's long-range goals and administrative reorganization. First, is the proposed reordering of Colleges, departments, and programs being discussed and recommended by color-coded teams on which the Faculty Senate does not have formal representation. Second, the preparation and modification of "UNO's strategic plan" by periodically convened "strategic retreats" and also by the regular review of each such "strategic plan" by UNO's Strategic Planning Steering Committee at its monthly meetings. The Committee expressed its displeasure at the UNO Administration's not having consulted with the Faculty Senate before abruptly curtailing in March 2003 UNO's regular recycling of paper, cardboard, and related products and requests that the Faculty Senate President ask the appropriate administrator to explain to the Senate (a) what, if any, alternatives to the curtailment of recycling were considered before the decision to curtail recycling was made and (b) why the Faculty Senate was not consulted before this decision was made. The Committee also endorsed chairperson Bruce Garver's written response of April 11, 2003, to Senate President Greg Sadlek regarding suggested cuts in the budget of the UNO Faculty Senate.
D. Committee on Professional Development: Senator Blair reported that the committee met on April 23, 2003. Those in attendance were Senators Robert Blair, Josie Metal-Corbin, Beth Ritter, Sufi Nazem, and Harvey Leavitt. The Committee reviewed and discussed the recommendations of the Faculty Development, Service Learning and Social Work Force (Magenta Team), which was given the charge of reducing $200,000 from a variety of faculty and professional development programs. In order to continue core activities of professional development, like Teaching Circles, TABS, UCAT, and the Annual Faculty Development Workshop, the Magenta Team recommended that faculty associates be assigned to oversee these programs. The Committee expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of formal Faculty Senate involvement in the Teams from the beginning. It was felt that Faculty Senate members should have been appointed to be members of the Teams. This would have provided for more systematic input from the Faculty Senate to the budget reduction process.
Senator Blair moved the following for the committee. The resolution passed.
Resolution 2677, 05/14/2003: Faculty Associates and Professional Development Activities
WHEREAS it has been recommended to the Administration that Faculty Associates will be assigned to coordinate core programs of professional development, and;
WHEREAS Sponsored Programs and Research, and the Graduate Office will provide operational support for professional development programs like the University Committee on Research, and the Research Triangles, and;
WHEREAS Faculty Associates will be provided workload adjustments to oversee other core professional development activities, including Teaching Circles, TABS, the Annual Faculty Development Workshop, and UCAT;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Faculty Associates be identified as soon as possible by the Academic Affairs Office so affected academic units can make workload adjustments, resulting in a continuation of core professional development activities in the fall semester of 2003.
E Committee on Rules: Senator Littrell reported that the final composition of the 2003-2004 Faculty Senate Standing Committees was listed under New Business.
VI New Business
Senator Sadlek moved the following resolution and it was passed:
A. Resolution 2678, 05/14/2003: Increasing Tuition
WHEREAS in AY 2001-2002, the University of Nebraska at Omaha already went through a series of budget cuts, totaling $5 million,
WHEREAS, among other cuts, the university lost 58 faculty and staff positions, two academic programs, and important resources for "at risk" students,
WHEREAS now a threat exists to cut an additional 3 to 10% out of UNO's 2003-2004 budget, cuts which will mean further crippling reductions in administration, faculty, and staff support, seriously damaging the ability of the university to serve its students, support faculty research, and engage with the community,
WHEREAS unavoidable increases in fixed costs of approximately $21 million system-wide will further magnify the size of the proposed cuts,
WHEREAS 15% increase in tuition system-wide would raise $19.3 million and, thus, come close to covering the increase in the system's fixed expenses, thus, sparing the system further damaging cuts,
WHEREAS the tuition at UNO is currently 8.3% behind the average of its peers,
WHEREAS tuition will likely increase in many if not most of UNO peer institutions, putting UNO's tuition rate even further behind its peers,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the UNO Faculty Senate urges the Board of Regents approve a tuition increase of at least 15% for AY 2003-2004.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that at the same time the Board of Regents make more funds available for need-based scholarships and loans to help the most economically disadvantaged among UNO's students.
B. Transfer of Presidency and Election of 2003-2004 Officers, etc.:
1. President Sadlek continued as President.

How to Grout Mosaics Photo Tutorial

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.

When creating your own mosaics, grouting seals the spaces between the colored tiles, making the surface even and permanent. Learn how to grout with this step-by-step photo tutorial walking you through the process. You'll be creating mosaics for your home and garden in no time! This photo tutorial comes to us compliments of Heidi Borchers of Inspired at Home.
- Plastic container for grout
- plastic container for water
- disposable gloves
- sanded grout
- craft stick
- cotton swabs
- soft sponge
- kraft paper
- newspaper to cover workspace
Place a small amount of water into the sanded grout and stir with a craft stick. Grout should be the consistency of creamy peanut butter. If too much water add more dry grout.
Put disposable gloves onto each hand. Apply grout with a craft stick. (Note: If you choose to use your hands to apply the grout, be VERY careful not to glide your fingers along the cut tiles. The tiles that have been cut are VERY sharp and will cut through gloves.)
Completely cover all four sides and on top with the grout. Remove excess back into grout container.
Project completely covered with grout. Ready to be cleaned with sponge.
Immediately clean the grout before it dries by dipping sponge into clean water. Squeeze all excess water from sponge. Sponge across tile to remove excess grout from surface. Dip sponge back into water and squeeze several times to release grout into water. Squeeze all excess water from sponge and repeat. This step is only to smooth the grout. Do not try to completely clean tile. If you rub too much you will rub off too much grout.
Use a hairdryer on low for a few minutes to help you dry the haze on the tile. Do not over-dry or you will cause hair-line cracks in the grout. You want the haze on each tile to be dry and "chalky."
Wipe each tile individually with a dry paper towel. Do not rub through wet grout.
For finer detail, use a cotton swab to continue to remove excess grout on tile. You do not need to completely remove every particle at this point. Clean the alphabet letters with a wet cotton swab. Let dry overnight.
Brush off any excess dried grout with a large dry, clean paint brush.
Finished mosaic. If placing outdoors brush on a coat of grout sealer and let dry before placing outdoors.

1950s Brooklyn Dodgers Signed Collection (5)
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $1,410.00
This collection of five substantial signed items dating from the "Golden Age" of Brooklyn Dodgers baseball is highlighted by a 1955 The Golden Stamp Book of the Brooklyn Dodgers signed on the interior by twenty team members and a Karl Spooner 1957 minor-league contract with the Macon Dodgers. 1) 1955 The Golden Stamp Book of the Brooklyn Dodgers . The book is signed in blue ink ("10") along the interior by twenty different Dodgers team members. Unless otherwise noted, all of the signatures appear on the same page as their respective biography. Newcombe, Erskine, Podres, Loes, Meyer, Hughes, Black, Koufax, Labine, Reese, Snider (twice on the same page), Amoros, Walker, Lasorda (blue Sharpie), Roebuck, Shuba, Herman (coach), Howell (back page), Moryn (back page), and Bessent (back page). Also included with the book are cut signatures (variety of inks, all "10") of eight team members who either have not signed the book or are not represented in the book: Spooner (unlined index card), Alston (unlined index card), Hodges (unlined index card), Furillo (back of a mailed postcard), Becker (unlined index card), Pitler (cut mounted on an unlined index card), Kellert (lined 3 x 5-inch notebook page), Hoak (in pencil, "9," tiny 1 x 1-inch cut). The thirty-two page soft-cover book (8.5 x 11 inches) features all of the thirty-two picture stamps affixed along the interior pages. A few of the pages have separated from the spine and the covers display a number of moderate creases. A slight tear affects the Walker signature. In Very Good condition. 2) Karl Spooner 1957 Macon Dodgers contract. The four-page National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues Uniform Player Contract, dated June 20, 1957, has been signed in blue ink ("10") by Karl Spooner three times, once on the first page and twice on the third page. An addendum on page three states that the Brooklyn Dodgers will pay Spooner the balance of his Major League salary for the year. Spooner, who died in 1984, has always been regarded as a particularly tough signature. The contract is also signed twice by George Pfister on behalf of the Macon Dodgers. The Macon Dodgers were a class A ball club playing in the South Atlantic League. The contract (8.5 x 11 inches) is in Excellent to Mint condition. 3) Walter O'Malley TLS. One-page typed letter, on official Brooklyn stationery, signed in blue ink ("10") by Walter O'Malley. In his letter, dated September 13, 1951, to a Mrs. Smith regarding her request for autographs by the Dodger players, O'Malley responds in part: "It really would not be much fun if I would get them all for you...I am, however, sending you our latest Line Drives which has facsimile signatures and autographs." The letter (8.5 x 11 inches) displays normal mailing folds and adhesive residue along each corner from having once been mounted. Ex. 4) 1957 Brooklyn Dodgers Team-Signed Ball.

The Steering Committee of the International Conference 'The Legacy of the First World War; Interdisciplinary Perspectives', aims at organizing a 3-day scientific conference in the The Hague, Netherlands, June 2015, for approx. 1000-1500 delegates from approx. 20 countries embracing a wide array of professionals: historians, scientists, politicians, ethicists, sociologists, medics, psychologists, artists, and the public.
Focus of the proposed conference
World War I commenced during the summer of 1914 and ended four years later. It was the war that was supposed to end all wars, but it became one of the largest acts of military carnage in our history; a war unprecedented in terms of size and victims. Millions of soldiers were killed and many more maimed in the hopeless and endless trench battles in Belgium, Northern France and other places around the world. The war changed the world in ways still visible today. Many memorials will be held during the next four years to remember the dead and they will, in the main, focus on the past. Our three-day conference will focus on the relevance of WW I for today. In which way did WW I change our world? It decisively influenced the decline of colonialism and the birth of new nations, it provided a cause for the establishment of the League of Nations and, later, the United Nations. It was also a prime consideration behind the development which ended Franco-German rivalry and the unification of Europe. It also had an influence on the development various sciences, including, of course, medicine, humanitarian law and economics that had their impact in the interbellum. But is the legacy waning, and gradually becoming a thing of the past? Or is the legacy still topical today?
Why the Netherlands?
The neutral position in the war, and its current international orientation makes the Netherlands a perfect host nation for this conference. Its neutrality offers not only a physical space, but also a conceptual one, in which the experiences and lessons learned by both sides in the conflict can be shared without political nuance. Moreover the city of The Hague has profiled as a city of Peace and Justice and launched the first world peace conference just over 100 years ago. The last German Emperor Wilhelm II lived in exile in the Netherlands from 1920 until his death in 1941; the historic house is now a national museum. It is also just north of Belgium and France which were one of the central locations where the war was fought.
Format of the proposed conference
In order to address the questions mentioned above, our proposed conference will have:
1) An inter-disciplinary character, which will demonstrate that the legacy of WW I is not limited to two or three areas of public policy, but that it is rather of an all-encompassing nature which has left, almost literally, no stone untouched;
2) Different target groups, depending on the day of the conference. Such target groups will range from youths whose grandfathers fought in WW I, to internationally renowned scientists;
3) A focus on building a bridge between the past and the issues which are topical today. In this sense, our conference is not a commemoration strictu sensu, but forward-looking.
Main subjects
Given the all-encompassing nature of our proposed conference, the program will consist of approximately ten main subjects:
• International relations. The changes in the political constellation mentioned, collapse of empires, the decolonalisation, the Balfour declaration, the drive toward European unity, etc.
• International law. The establishment of new international organisations, the rise to prominence of NGO's, a movement in Europe toward a supra-national system, the development of international humanitarian law, human rights and a universal refugee law, etc.
• Ethics and religion. The relation between ethics and technology, the secularisation of ethics, the quest for an international ethic.
• Society and Memory: the development of a culture of remembrance, shaping the collective memory, monuments and tombs, commemorations, the veterans movement, the shift of honour to victimization.
• Warfare. The question of the massive destructiveness of warfare and the accompanying loss of considerations of chivalry; the rise to prominence of non-state actors on the battlefield, etc.
• Science and Medicine. Scientific discoveries, ideas about the universe, Heisenberg principle, Einstein, but also breakthroughs in plastic surgery, psychiatry, Red Cross, the role of nurses, etc.
• Mental health. Trauma and care, the medical selection on resilience, the therapies, the post-war investigation into the shell shock, the long-term changes in psychiatry and psychology.
• Environmental issues. The devastation, pollution with lead and gas, the recovery policy and thinking about restoring of the cities and the entire physical environment.
• Arts. The shift in emphasis from fine arts to applied arts, the rise of new schools within art, the shifting role of art in society, diaries, poems, descriptions, monuments, films, novels and literature.
• Economy. The gradual end of mercantilism, the creation of trading blocks, the rise of industrialisation and, by implication, the growing attention for issues such as industrial pollution.
Our considerations concerning the format of the conference will be combined with our thoughts on the main subjects. Thus, when it comes to the inter-disciplinary nature of the conference, we intend to invite participants of different specialisations to deal with the same subject. For instance, in the field of international law, we will invite a lawyer to give a presentation, and an ethicist to offer a prepared reply. When it comes to the different target groups, we hope to engage the grand children of those who fought in a dialogue on one particular day of the conference, while realising a scientific meeting on another day. Universities, schools, foundations and other organizations will be invited to take with cinema, documentaries, or special educational projects. When it comes to building bridges between past and future, all participants and speakers will be requested to discuss the lessons learned. Various European cities have, at present, a partnership (twin town) with another (foreign) European city. Some of these cities have suffered heavy damage. For instance, the German city of Aachen has a relationship with the Belgian city of Liège. We hope to bring together citizens of a number of pertinent towns in an attempt to foster friendship and understanding between former foes.
Day 1 and 2: Conferences will be held on, both, invitations to experts as well as a call for papers.
Representatives of various fields of expertise will be requested to engage with each other. Plenary sessions will be mixed with workshops, forum discussions, etc. Day 1 is expected to be opened officially by the Foreign Minister of The Netherlands as the representative of a nation that remained neutral during WW I. Day 1 will be concluded by a dinner in the Peace Palace, for high profile guests. Day 2 will basically be a continuation of Day 1, but with a number of smaller workshops. Moreover, Teimun, the student organisation which creates a model United Nations, will debate on a topic yet to be decided.
Day 3: Day three will offer members of the public a full day's program of cultural events. These will include readings, music and discussions on poetry, art, film and photography from the First World War. The participation of the grand children of combatants as well as of citizens of twin towns is envisaged for this day. Thus, the conference will reflect not only the tragedy and human suffering of the war, but also the cultural heritage it left behind.
Under the auspices of the Sympopna Foundation Utrecht, a Steering Committee 'Conference Legacy World War I' (CLWW1) has been created that deals with program development. This committee consists of members: dr Ted van Baarda, dr Leo van Bergen, dr Annelieke Drogendijk, dr Frank Hermans, dr Samuel Kruizinga, Herman Sietsma, dr Holly Young and prof dr kol Eric Vermetten. A national as well as international advisory board will be assembled that governs the representational aspect of the conference as a whole. Several candidates have been invited.

He got a much bigger surprise when he stopped to light a cigarette.
The ensuing explosion prompted neighbors to call 911. Firefighters arrived at the home in the 1200 block of 41st Street to find the front door had been blown off its hinges, windows were shattered and a little smoke was coming from inside the home. The home itself had been knocked off its foundation.
"Honestly, it sounded like a car hit my house," said neighbor Jon Hume.
No one was in the home when firefighters arrived, but a neighbor reported to officers he had seen a suspicious man inside the home immediately after the explosion.
"I noticed the guy still in the backroom," Hume said. "He ran back and forth three or four times in the doorway that I could see... and then he disappeared."
A few hours later, officers had a man in custody and determined he had been in the basement trying to steal the pipes for scrap metal.
Neighbors say the house was condemned, and they called police several times in the past to report squatters.
"The worry is they were cooking crystal meth and running a meth lab," said neighbor Cynthia Watters.
Police won't confirm or deny that suspicion. But whatever was going on in that vacant house, neighbors are relieved to learn it's now scheduled for a quick demolition.
"You don't know what's going on and what people are capable of when they do things like this," Watters said.

Another week, another accomplishment for the Hart girls golf team.
Considered to be one of the top teams in the Los Angeles area, the Indians cruised to a first-place finish at Foothill League match No. 2 Wednesday at El Cariso Golf Course in Sylmar.
Hart shot a Foothill League record score of 173 on the par-31 course, led by their powerful underclassmen foursome.
Freshman Kendall Dusenberry and defending league Most Valuable Player Amanda Corr shot medalist rounds of 32.
They were each one stroke better than teammates Brenna Carlson and Nikki Prichard, who both shot 33s.
"Look at my team's play so far this season. A different person would be coming in No. 1 (for a given match)," said Hart head coach Renee Onori. "There really are four No. 1 players on this team."
The Indians shot a team score of 175 on Sept. 25, 2007 to achieve the previous record.
Hart (10-0), the overwhelming favorite for a league title, has left little doubt about a championship early on in the season after two straight league wins.
The doubt falls in after first place.
West Ranch created it Wednesday.
The Wildcats, who finished third in League No. 1 at Vista Valencia Golf Course, vaulted to second place with a team score of 188.
They shaved off 22 strokes from Sept. 23.
It helped that El Cariso offers less of a challenge, with its shorter, less hazardous course than Vista Valencia Golf Course.
Yet every team benefited.
The Wildcats (7-3) took advantage thanks to their top two golfers.
Sarah Kang and Diane Kim each shot 36s.
"This I would consider our breakout day," said West Ranch head coach Jeff Holen. "These are the numbers I expected from the five girls. We still have some room for improvement if we want to get to CIF (playoffs), but this should get us to the spot I thought we'd be at."
West Ranch tied Hart with four players shooting in the 30s and now creates some competition for second place the rest of the season.
Taking third place was Saugus at 204, led by Nicole DeFrancisco's 36.
The biggest difference for the Centurions (7-3) from last week was three golfers with poorer scores than in League No. 1.
Valencia (4-6) improved 36 strokes to shoot a nine-hole score of 225.
Sue Chung shot a team-best 40.
Canyon and Golden Valley flip-flopped from League No. 1.
The Cowboys (1-9) finished fifth Wednesday with a 260.
Jenna Loucks and Katie Mulvihill each turned in 46s.
Golden Valley's Brittany Suarez turned in another under-40 performance with a 39. The Grizzlies (1-9) shot a 280.
But again, it was Hart's day.
Dusenberry had one misstep on an otherwise par-filled day. She bogeyed No. 4.
Corr had three bogeys and two birdies.
Next for much of the Foothill League is a non-league match today at DeBell Golf Course in Burbank for the DeBell Tournament.
It should be a good test, as 30 high schools will be represented.
Hart finished second last season.
The six teams from the Santa Clarita Valley will reconvene Tuesday for Foothill No. 3 at the more challenging par-37 Woodley Lakes Golf Course in Van Nuys.

Snake pushed the gun into the back of the man's tween overcoat. "Hand over your wallet!"
The man turned, and Snake stepped back, despite himself. "You require money?"
"Er, well, yeah."
"Easily solved!" The man hauled out a thick roll of bills and offered it. Several thousand, at least.
Snake hesitated.
"Please," said the man. "Among my people, it is absolutely forbidden to decline any request. I am delighted to help."
As Snake's hand closed on the money, the man's eyes flickered, as if covered by nictitating membranes. "And now," he said, "I hope you will help me in return..."

This totally reminds me of William Gibson's "The Belonging Kind." Great story and great flitterfic.

I read that story in "The Weird." It was my first encounter with it, and it's definitely one of the ones that stuck in my memory so far. Me and nictitating membranes go way, way back, though.

PITTSBURGH - The Steelers' new offense was on display again Sunday night, and it's becoming evident on what one of the main focal points will be.
Get the ball to Antonio Brown.
With former Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians watching from the visitors' sideline, Brown, the third-year wide receiver, put on a dazzling show in the first quarter of the Steelers' 26-24 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts at Heinz Field.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown takes a screen pass for a touchdown in the first half.
Brown's big plays were the bright spots from the first-team offense, which is using the exhibition season to get accustomed to new offensive coordinator Todd Haley's offense. Otherwise, it was a bit of a yawner for Ben Roethlisberger and company, which is usually the case in the preseason when teams try not to unveil all of their playbook.
Brown got the offense untracked with an 18-yard reception on a third-and-11 play after left tackle Marcus Gilbert was called for a false start penalty on the Steelers' second offensive series.
Three plays later, on third-and-4, he turned a routine short pass into an electrifying 57-yard touchdown jaunt that flashed with Brown's customary head bobs and weaves and was punctuated with a flip into the end zone that would have impressed Gabby Douglas.
"We were in the huddle, and I had to call the play,'' Roethlisberger said. "I had a two-way option, and I gave it to [Brown]. I thought he'd get the first down, and he ended up getting a little more.''
Brown, who credited his blockers and Roethlisberger for the touchdown, is showing why the Steelers agreed to pay out more than $42 million, including $8.5 million in guaranteed money, for a five-year extension for the Pro Bowler in late July while top receiver Mike Wallace was beginning his holdout. All indications point to Wallace returning to the Steelers before the regular-season begins, but it appears that Brown figures more in the team's future plans.
Pittsburgh will need a big season from Brown, who finished last season with 69 catches for 1,108 yards and two touchdown receptions. Expect those numbers to rise this year, especially the touchdowns, if he stays healthy.
Another Pro Bowl season from Brown would help begin the post-Hines Ward era and take some of the pressure off of the Steelers' young offensive line and an uncertain ground attack.
The Steelers are still trying to figure out who will be their main running threat this season. Rashard Mendenhall is apparently ahead of schedule in recovering from a torn ligament in his knee but won't be ready for at least the first month of the season, and Isaac Redman has been nursing groin and hip injuries that kept him from playing against the Colts.
Jonathan Dwyer took his turn in the backfield Sunday and didn't disappoint with 43 yards on eights carries, including a 23-yard run in the second quarter. Baron Batch and rookie Chris Rainey are getting long looks, too.
Roethlisberger played into the second quarter, but he didn't look sharp - he played like a quarterback still learning a new offense. The Steelers opened the game with five straight running plays and ran the ball on seven of their first eight plays.
"We're not playing as good as we could or should,'' Roethlisberger said, "but we're making progress.''
Roethlisberger forced an early pass to Brown and was intercepted by Indianapolis' Antoine Bethea. When the second quarter began, Roethlisberger tried to connect with Brown again on two throws, even though he was covered, and they were incompletions.
Even Charlie Batch threw a low pass to Brown on third down on his first series as quarterback. It's becoming somewhat of a pattern - when in doubt, turn to Brown.
"We are going in the right direction, but we're still not where we want to be,'' Brown said. "We have the preseason to iron out the kinks and get better.''
Haley's offense might not be in top form yet and could very well struggle during September, but one play seems to ready for the season - get the ball to Antonio Brown and watch him go.

Imagine being fully immersed in the world of marine sciences, having faculty readily available to help build the skills necessary for you become a research scientist. Imagine having the ocean and specialized laboratory facilities as your "classroom." If this sounds appealing, then consider applying for the "Semster by the Sea"(SBS) program at the Darling Marine Center. Your playground is the ocean and your mentors are world renowned for their research. You will learn about concepts and theories and then explore these concepts "hands on" in the surrounding environment. With the use of the research vessel the "IRA C", and the extensive local intertidal regions, nothing is unreachable. Virtually every day you will be able to experience marine science in its natural realm, providing far more understanding and clarity then ever possible from a book and blackboard. All this combined with a beautiful campus, up-to-date facilities and -- importantly -- very talented chefs, can culminate into an experience of a lifetime.
| Collecting Data | Exploring Marine Communities | Investigating Species Diversity | Understanding Environmental Change | SBS Curriculum |
In typical years, SBS class size ranges from around 10-15 students, allowing plenty of time for one-on-one interaction with the professors. Also, students only attend one class per day, allowing for both a lecture and actual field experience nearly five days per week! There is no better way to learn than to discuss ideas and concepts in class then -- after lunch -- go see them "in action." The setting also houses leading researchers who are always willing to help, whether it is something to do with a project, something in their field of specialty, or helpful advice on applying to grad school. Relationships that are built between students and teachers can also lead to promising internships and very personalized, convincing letters of recommendation. Past SBS students have dubbed the accessibility of Darling Marine Center faculty as an "open door policy".
The Darling Marine Center (DMC) is located on over 190 acres of wooded land. There is a fully maintained trail system -- great for hiking or mountain biking -- covers the relaxing and picturesque terrain. The campus is surrounded by the Damariscotta estuary. Although the waters are slightly chilly, there is plenty of access for swimming and kayaking around the region. The DMC has multiple kayaks and canoes available for student use. Up and down the coast are breathtaking scenic areas and tourist towns waiting to be explored. The region also host many islands which can be visited by ferry: for example, the famous Monhegan Island and nearby populations of puffins. The DMC also provides an on-campus supply of free air for qualified student divers. A full-time Dive Safety Officer helps ensure that students are properly trained and certified.

With some research and educated clicks, you can help determine winners at the 11th annual Native American Music Awards.
Online voting begins today at the NAMA site. Choose wisely; only one vote is allowed per category.
Central New Yorkers can cast their support for several local favorites.
Jimmy Wolf of Rome is nominated in the best blues category.
Joanne Shenandoah of Oneida Castle is up in the best female category. Her Hondo Mesa Records collection with Michael Bucher is nominated in multiple categories, including compilation, folk and a biggie, record of the year.
Here's my Post-Standard review from February of the CD from Shenandoah and Bucher.
Joanne Shenandoah and Michael Bucher speak from their hearts on "Bitter Tears -- Sacred Ground."
They've constructed a proud and noble collection.
Shenandoah is a nationally prominent singer-songwriter of the Wolf Clan of the Iroquois Confederacy who lives in Oneida Castle. Bucher is an equally nationally known singer-songwriter, a Cherokee who grew up on the South Side of Chicago.
Together and separately on this CD put out on Syracuse's Hondo Mesa Records they tell their tales of Native history and American short-sightedness.
The sounds of their voices and guitars are striking, starting with Shenandoah's rendition of "As Long as the Grass Shall Grow, " a song written by Peter Lafarge that tells of how the United States broke a 1794 pact with the Senecas by building Kinsua Dam. "It will flood the Indian country, " she sings.
They also perform Lafarge's "Drums, " stark with a beat, simple folk guitar and their pained harmony on "In our losing we found proudness, in your winning you found shame, " and "The Ballad of Ira Hayes." On that Lafarge ode to the Pima Indian from Arizona who was one of five ever-familiar faces in the raising of the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima, Central New Yorker Curtis Waterman sets a bluesy tone that's just right. After all, the story goes, Hayes died drunk and ignored in a ditch in the land he fought so hard to protect.
They cover Johnny Cash's "Apache Tears" and "Talking Leaves, " paying tribute to work by the country superstar that stood up so greatly for Native people.
Shenandoah's friend Neil Young pays tribute to her, co-writing and adding electric guitar to the ballad "Treaty." "Hear me Mr. President, " she sings, "this is sacred ground. You cannot own my spirit, though you might lay me down."
There's little happiness in their words, but there is hope.
Shenandoah sings "The Star Spangled Banner" gloriously a cappella, one voice, soaring. And the CD closes with "America, " gorgeously written and sung by Shenandoah: "America, a reason to give. Hope to each other and peace to our brothers. America, a reason to give. All people, all colors. A reason to live."
Here's my Post-Standard review from April of Wolf's CD "I've Been Driftin' from Door to Door."
Jimmy Wolf is a master of the gruff and gritty blues.
The guitarist, vocalist and harmonica player from Rome lays down the blues hot and heavy on "I've Been Driftin' From Door to Door."
Wolf knows how to lead his band of T.C. Carter on bass and A. Card on drums through hard and heavy versions of time-tested classics, including the title cut from John Lee Hooker, "Hell Hound on My Tail" from Robert Johnson and "My Mind Is "Ramblin'" and "Tail Dragger" from Howlin' Wolf.
The other seven songs are originals that allow Wolf and his core band to shine.
Special guest Sam Kinninger's sax spices the shuffle "Walt's Circle."
On "Second Heart, " Wolf proudly declares that he won't be second best. "Don't play me cheap, babe, and don't you second-guess." Hallelujah.

Da'Quan Bowers went from suspect to No. 1 NFL draft prospect while winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy awarded to college football's top defensive player. But Clemson's unanimous All-America defensive end has slipped out of the top 10 picks of most mock drafts and completely out of the first round of others.
Postseason surgery on a torn meniscus in Bowers' right knee and a ho-hum Pro Day have NFL general managers worried.
"The knee is fine; I'm 100 percent," Bowers said. "I still have a lot of work to do. Still strengthening and getting it back to where it needs to be. But it's not hurting. It's not giving me any problems."
Bowers was ESPN.com's No. 1 high school football prospect in the nation coming out of Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School. Plays guitar and was part of his late father's gospel band, "Legendary Singing Stars."
What's to like
Beat double teams throughout the 2010 season. Relentless and seemingly unstoppable at times. Strong enough to bull rush tackles, but quick enough to speed rush and chase down quarterbacks and other ballcarriers.
The knee issues. Didn't always play up to his capability until last season: Only four sacks total over his freshman and sophomore seasons.
Key Clemson stats
16 sacks in 2010
67 tackles
3 sacks vs. Maryland
9 tackles at Auburn
Pro Day report
Bowers ran a mediocre 4.9 40-yard-dash before 40 NFL scouts at Clemson. Clearly, he was slowed by the knee surgery.
"(Bowers' knee) is going to force to teams to go back and examine him," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. "I thought I'd see some more quickness and explosion, but again I want to give the kid the benefit of the doubt. I thought at times his play last season was phenomenal. I would like to see him more consistent."
Overcoming adversity
Bowers' father Dennis died in August. Bowers credits much of his 2010 success to a deathbed conversation during which his dad told him to "challenge yourself" and "be one of the best players ever to play at Clemson."
Dabo Swinney, Clemson head coach
"He can move, accelerate and change direction at that size. Most people can't do that. He showed great work ethic (in 2010) and was consistent. He was a leader for us."
Projected guarantee
2010 No. 6 overall pick Russell Okung, a tackle from Oklahoma State, got a $29.8 guarantee from the Seahawks. But some mock drafts have Bowers falling near the No. 20 spot, where Alabama cornerback Kareem Jackson got $10.35 million from the Texans in 2010.

Well, I have a new look. Don't be mean. I did all of it by myself (with some help from google). I am in the process of moving craft and activities post to another blog. That way it will be easier for others (and me).
I had so much fun experimenting with self portraiture for the first time this past week. This image is one of the ones I took. I loved it so much I put it in the new header.
Here I am holding Little Lady. This is how she snuggles with me. It is such a fabulous feeling.
Sharing this photo over at Captivus for Affection (representing the letter A).
My first time linking up with Paper Heart Camera (yippee). This week's Show and Tell Challenge was Self Portrait. The prompt was "number". There aren't any numbers in this picture, but the number of months before they decide if they are going to start proceedings to terminate parental rights is slowly decreasing. Hopefully this summer we will know!
Perceptive Perspective for "in memory of". This picture is in memory of all of the foster families that came before us. Today is the last day of May (National Foster Parent Appreciation Month).
Linking up to my other favorites, as well:

The U.S. Army is surging forward in its push for green energy. Today (August 7) the Army held a media roundtable discussing its plans to issue request for proposals (RFP) for a multi-award task order contract (MATOC) for 1 gigawatt of renewable and alternative energy within the next 30 days. It plans to close the RFP roughly 30 days after that.
While all of the U.S.'s Air Force, Army and Navy have each announced that they plan install 1 gigawatt of renewable energy by 2025, the Army is the first branch of the U.S.'s armed forces to move forward with such a request, according to Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary of the Army for installations, energy & environment. "This is the first MATOCH for renewable energy in the federal government," she said. "So we are certainly breaking new ground here and developing a resource that is available to anyone in the federal government."

Am I the only one wondering why there was so much hype and build up for this including midnight launches for a game that's first title wasn't all that great? Advert on TV is dreadful too.
Bought this today, so far, so good, its pretty fun and I'm enjoying it, it's getting 8s and 9s in the reviews I've read, that seems to be pretty accurate
Yeah, same here. Picked it up and enjoying it so far. Although I was the same with the first one until I got bored about half way through. We'll see if the same holds true for number 2.

I just watched the GT review, looked massivly like the first game, more so than I was expecting. They were not overkeen. I have it coming from Lovefilm, kind of glad I have decided to rent...at least until I see if it is something I have to own.
Still need to spend more than a few hours with the first game.

Probably already posted. Edge's 8/10
"Prototype 2 is the most cheerfully destructive sandbox since Just Cause 2".
I'm personally really enjoying it. Not very far through the story so far, just got the tendrils. GOOD GOD they're fun to use! Especially the black hole move on helicopters - random pulling of all objects nearby to smash into it? Yes please. Been wasting more time just hopping around and getting up to mischief.
Also been looking through Radnet - it's pretty swish really, daily challenges coming up that improve your character in game for taking part. I like that.
I played through the original Prototype more than once, just because I'm a loser for Sandbox games (almost 90% of all bases completed on Just Cause 2... just need to dig it out and do the rest!) and this should tide me over till the next - which is looking to be Spiderman. Double new york action, baby!
Anyone know when the EG review is going up?
@rivuzu They said Thursday on Twitter.
@FatsoJetson Cheers! Not a Twitter-er-er-er, so sorry for asking
@rivuzu No worries. It wasn't an official announcement or anything, just something they said in response to a reader's query.
Darren wrote:7.2 is not a bad score in anyones book! When I looked yesterday on meta critic it was all 8s and 9s with just one 7 so anyway you look at it, it's getting good reviews so far, so far it's playing out for me to be a solid 8.

lowish 7.2.
On to another point, the reason I bought this is simply because we are in the middle of the yearly game drought, and I fancied a new game, it sits well with me being completely shit at Dark Souls so when I fancy actually progressing in a game I put P2 on instead

What differences does this have from the first game?
Post deleted
EG's review reads like my feelings on the first game. Uninspiring story and less than compelling cityscape, but still an OTT blast to play. Good enough for me to take budget look at some time. If this game's not half-priced new by June I'll eat a bug.

EG's review actually made me interested when I otherwise was not. I don't care much whether the story is good or not. JC2's story was one of the most abominable I've ever seen, but I still had plenty of fun playing the game.
It doesn't look half bad graphics wise either.

@ronuds Game Informer's YouTube channel has an LP that got me excited for this. GFX look a bit better than P1, and some of the powers (bio-bomb for example) look really fun. Still not a huge fan of the stealth mechanic, and you pretty much get the same rather cheap looking absorb animation after close-up kills, but the movement mechanics and large-scale battles look very well done and properly badass. That's all i need out of P2, really.
Got this from lovefilm today (360) and enjoying a lot apart from the "hunt" leftstick thing. I can't work it out and have no manual, I thought the idea was that if the subject is to far away then follow the direction the hunt area comes back to you (if you know what i mean). Can someone give me a runthrough please. I'm trying to find Dr Shaffielf and have been for a while now, I though he was over by the docks/cranes but obviously i can't understand the radar.
Thank you for any help.
Please see above post

Duffman: The vast 4 page manual has this to say about hunting - "Use hunting to actively locate targets in the world. Press the Left Stick to send out a pulse ring, which acts as a sonar that pings back from the target. The target is always at the centre if the return pulse."
Any help whatsoever? Haven't started it yet, so can't advise myself.

@DUFFMAN5 Best thing with the radar is to get up high and ping it. Easier to see where the bounce back is coming from then.

I love the ass-backwards marketing for this - "More Brutal than Arkham City.. More Bloody that Dead Space 2.. More Freedom than Dark Souls.."
Seriously, that made me chuckle.
Lol, they actually marketed it as that?
Oh dear. One thing I must confess I'm not a fan of; the lack of variety with the unlocks. P1 made you unlock EVERYTHING with points. It gave sense to random anarchy across the city. It's what made it more fun than P2, with it's "Hide the Ability in the Super Powered Cunt!" gameplay.
Still, rather fun a few days in.
Played a few hours now and have to say it is a lot of fun. I might even spend some time with the first one, once I have completed this.

Ken Wright Pinot noir Yamhill-Carlton Abbott Claim 2010
$54.95 Regular
Wine Spectator 93 Points: A hint of green olive adds piquancy to the light, vivid raspberry and guava fruit, coming together with refinement and purity as the finish lingers deftly. Shows depth and transparency. Drink now through 2020. - H.S.
2009 Vintage Tasting Notes
2009 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Light on its feet, but shows some flesh to the raspberry, cherry, cream and cinnamon flavors, pulsing gently against polished tannins on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2019. - H.S.
2008 Vintage Tasting Notes
2008 Wine Spectator - 94 points - Light in weight and texture, with complex, mineral-accented blackberry, red cherry, whole grain and spice flavors that flow eas ily into the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2018." - H.S.
2008 Wine Advocate - 91 points - The 2008 Pinot Noir Abbott Claim Vineyard comes from a site owned by Ken Wright and planted in 2001.

2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
"a fragrant perfume of pain grille, scorched earth, smoke, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. The layers of sweet black fruits are matched by crisp acidity and well-concealed tannin. The finish is long and pure." - referring to the 2005 vintage of this wine, from Robert Parker's website, 10/07.
Abbott's Claim Vineyard was purchased by Ken Wright in 2000 and was developed by him. Pinot noir made from the vineyard is one of his newer offerings.

CFP: The Seminar and the Expanded Field (CAA Atlanta 2005)
CAA, Atlanta, February 2005
Has the graduate art history seminar outlived its usefulness? Can its traditional form and logic serve a field expanded almost beyond recognition, if viewed from its former borders? This session explores the relationship of the seminar to an art history we continue to transform theoretically and methodologically. It asks, how are changes in what counts as our field impacting the seminar's status as the foundational unit of graduate training and privileged gateway to professional art history practice? In what ways, why, and with what results have art history professors or students addressed the content of the seminar's form in addition to its procedures and politics? Also, what might we learn if we examine the seminar as a social and cultural construct bound up with art history's history? Rarely do we hesitate to identify and redress canonical formations of pedagogy and epistemology, as with the survey. What explains our failure to scrutinize the seminar accordingly?
Deadline: 14 May 2004

NEW YORK -- Awhile back, the Yankees and Red Sox announced that they would play Friday's game in the uniforms they wore back in 1912, as part of Fenway Park's 100th anniversary celebration.
The two teams played the first game ever at Fenway Park on April 20, 1912.
Anyway, New Era has released this image of the Yankees' cap. The company made the limited edition caps just for the occasion. I'm kind of a ballcap junkie -- the collection is at 120 and counting -- so I thought I'd pass it along.
Seems like a pretty cool look. What do you think?

Bishop Carroll Catholic reached the District 6 Class A volleyball finals by knocking off top-seeded Bellwood-Antis in Saturday's semifinals.
While that was big, it wasn't as big as what the fifth-seeded Lady Huskies faced on the other side of the net at the Altoona Fieldhouse in unbeaten and second-seeded Penns Manor.
The Lady Comets, who ousted Bishop Guilfoyle in a four-set semifinal, had height and power at nearly every position, and BC just didn't have a solution for that problem.
Powered by Jen Knezovich, Emma Myers and Krista Gillo, PM won the net battle and held off BC rallies to win the district title in straight sets, 25-18, 25-22, 25-21.
"I think my team was a little bit intimidated by what Penns Manor had to bring in," BC coach Joe Skura said. "Single-A volleyball in District 6 is absolutely tremendous. They outsized us, but I think both of my middles had the heart to make up for the size we didn't have."
"Bishop Carroll runs a single blocker," PM coach Erika Talmadge said, "and so if we're setting from antenna to antenna and making them have to chase, we're bound to create holes for ourselves. They played very, very strong against us, but I felt like if we got good passing and we got a chance to get all three of our hitters in the front line and taking swings, we would wear them down."
BC (16-6) trailed by only two points, 16-14, in the first set, but Penns Manor pulled away and went on a 9-4 run down the stretch.
In the second set, PM led 16-9 when the Lady Huskies started to mount a comeback. A block by Sarah Gomish made it 16-11 and, later, Gomish knocked down one of her 20 kills to make it 19-15.
BC came back to within two, 23-21, but the Lady Comets went on a run and closed it out with Knezovich and Gillo combining for a block of Gomish.
Gomish was dominant early in the third set. BC charged out to an 8-1 lead, and Gomish had five kills in that stretch. But, PM started pecking its way back, tying the score at 16-16 on Caitlyn Bence kill. BC freshman Ellie Yahner, who had 17 kills, kept BC going in that stretch with her play at the net.
PM (19-0) never gave up the lead from there, and it finished off the final point with a kill by Kaeli Smith.
"I'm just so excited for these kids," Talmadge said. "They've worked so hard, and every day there is so much enthusiasm for the game. I'm just thrilled they got a chance to win this."
Skura, whose team finished with a 16-6 record, was happy with how his team played in a 25-21, 14-25, 25-23, 25-18 win over B-A (20-1).
"I'm honestly still the proudest coach in the world that we got here," Skura said. "We all feel that we didn't finish the job at the end. But, at the end of the day, this is the first time Bishop Carroll has made it to the district championship.
"I thought we were right with Penns Manor. We made too many unforced errors. They're a great team. They're a great program. Erika is like a phenom coach. She knows what she's talking about."
PM reached the finals with a 26-28, 25-10, 25-13, 25-18 win over the Lady Marauders (15-5), who were led by Annie Dombrowski (10 kills, 17 digs), Lindsie Welteroth (nine kills, 15 digs) and Logan McIntosh (17 digs).
"That was an interesting game," said Talmadge, whose team will play the District 7 fourth-placer Tuesday. "Not being in this situation before, it seemed like we were tight. When we went to the second game, we made them play a little bit more of our style of game."
The Lady Huskies will also look forward to the state tournament. They'll play District 5 champion North Star on Tuesday at a site and time to be determined.
"I coached with Leah [Montgomery] at Penn Cambria, and we both get to go to states," Skura said. "I think the girls are really looking forward to having another practice and to keep going."
BISHOP CARROLL: Przybys 5, Yahner 9, Gomish 7, Gueguen 1, Bender 1, Woomer 6, Kwisnek 2.
Records: Bishop Carroll (16-6); Penns Manor (19-0).
BISHOP GUILFOYLE: Patterson 7, Welteroth 6, Dombrowski 4, Potopa 4, McIntosh 3, Baughman 3
Record: Bishop Guilfoyle (15-5)

With Opening Day rapidly approaching, the Cincinnati Reds are a team that figures to compete for a World Series championship.
B/R's Joel Reuter has the Reds ranked fourth in his latest power rankings, while CBSSports.com's Matt Snyder has the team third behind the Nationals and Braves.
The Reds have a major new addition in Shin-Soo Choo who they acquired from Cleveland this offseason in a three-team deal.
Fans were also anxious to see how Joey Votto's knee looked after a full offseason of rehab and strength and conditioning workouts.
The Reds also had several position battles including one for the fifth starting spot between Aroldis Chapman and Mike Leake.
Additionally, several other players including Jason Donald, Manny Parra and Cesar Izturis were left to fight it out for the few remaining roster spots.
In just over a month's worth of spring training games, the Reds have given us lot to think about as they move toward the regular season.

A 20-year old man is dead after a police chase overnight ended with a fiery crash.
It had started in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu on the South Shore shortly after midnight, when municipal police officers encountered a motorist who refused to pull over for a routine traffic stop.
The motorist sped away with the police cruiser in pursuit, but went out of control and hit a tree on Rue Principale in nearby Saint-Blaise-sur-Richelieu.
Provincial police are being sent in to investigate because municipal officers were involved in the chase.
