According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN Los Angeles, the San Antonio Spurs are going to hold a press conference Wednesday possibly announcing Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich as the NBA's Coach of the Year.
The Spurs are going to have a press conference tomorrow to announce a major award. Got to be Manu as 6th Man or Pop as COY. My guess is Pop
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) April 21, 2014
It only makes sense to be another Coach of the Year for Popovich. He was widely regarded as the favorite to win the award. It will be his third Coach of the Year award, tying Pat Riley and Don Nelson for most all-time. There is a slight chance it is Manu Ginobili winning 6th Man of the Year, but the favorite there seems to be Chicago's Taj Gibson.
Stay tuned Wednesday. Project Spurs will have coverage of the press conference and reaction about the award winner.

text: Not a lot of news so far today but this little article here has DE Roderick Green trying out for Seahawks. Green is a former Ravens fifth-round draft pick from the 2004 NFL draft who played at Central Missouri. In five NFL seasons, Green has registered 45 tackles and a dozen sacks. It looks like Seattle may just want depth at that position.

Cedar Point aims to create memories
SANDUSKY, Ohio -- Standing in the shadows of a $30 million roller coaster that flips, drops and spins its riders, the head of the nation's fourth-biggest amusement park company points to another addition at Cedar Point he's proud of too -- a shady spot to relax and munch on taffy and fudge.
It's not the most exciting part of the park along Lake Erie that boasts 17 roller coasters, but he thinks these little extras will keep families coming back.
Matt Ouimet has spent his first two years as chief executive of Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. making sure the chain's 11 amusement parks across the country have plenty of attractions for all ages.
New additions include shows featuring Cirque du Soleil-type acrobats, strolling bands and family-oriented rides along with nighttime shows and fireworks that are designed to keep people in the parks longer.
"We're thinking about people who aren't coaster riders," Ouimet said. "I think that's where we differentiate ourselves."
In the midst of LeBron James' recent negotiations with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ouimet announced that if the basketball superstar returned to the Cavs, Cedar Point would name one of its coasters for him -- King James.
Once a regional amusement park chain, Cedar Fair has become an industry giant.
It brought in 23.5 million visitors in 2013 to its amusement and water parks, including Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio, Canada's Wonderland outside Toronto and Knott's Berry Farm near Los Angeles.
Known for big roller coasters and kiddie rides themed to the "Peanuts" comic strip characters, Cedar Fair's four big amusement parks have the highest attendance numbers in North America outside the year-round theme parks in Florida and California, according to the Themed Entertainment Association, an industry group.
Ouimet, who spent 17 years with the Walt Disney Co., believes creating memories is more important than thrills and that reaching out to children and young families will result in a lifetime of return trips. He calls it genetic vacation behavior -- it's why tourists go to the same beach or resort town year after year.
"That's why we want to offer something for everyone," he said.
Cedar Point, the company's flagship park in Sandusky where it also has its headquarters, added two new family rides this year with just enough thrill to keep the entire family happy. "We didn't have rides that parents wanted to ride with their kids," Ouimet said. "This is the start."
Cedar Point's GateKeeper opened in 2013, transforming the park's front entrance where the coaster soars overhead while flipping riders upside-down.
Cedar Point, with a handful of hotels and a separate water park, has become a destination resort. Now Ouimet's attention is on expanding some of the company's other parks that are under-sized for their markets.
One is Valleyfair outside Minneapolis, and the other is Carowinds near Charlotte, N.C.
Carowinds, which straddles the Carolinas, is in the beginning of a $50 million expansion over the next several years. The company also is trying to attract an outside party to operate a hotel near the park.
"It won't happen in my lifetime," Ouimet said. "But Carowinds could become the Cedar Point of the South."
Dennis Speigel, a theme-park consultant who is president of Cincinnati-based International Theme Park Services Inc., said he thinks it's smart for Cedar Fair to resist acquiring new properties or developing ones overseas so it can focus on growing some of its existing amusement parks.
"There's tremendous growth that can occur at those places," he said.

We're beginning to dig deeper into our footage, but before I start to assemble it on a Timeline I want to make some notes or annotations on the B-roll, or observational shots. We've already started a pattern with our interviews, and I want to continue that pattern in our annotations but also adapt it so it works better for the B-roll. Let me show you what I mean. For each one of these the B-roll shots I want to open up the shot and take a quick glance, and I always want to add in the description just a quick note of the framing. I find it very useful as an editor.
If I have a quick glance placed just to see is it a wide shot, a medium shot, a close-up what have you. So this is a wide shot, I'll usually skim through to see if it changes drastically, it does go to sort of a medium wide here but in general we're talking about wide framing, which is what I want. Also I want to note that, in this case, I'm pretty satisfied with the clip names already. With the interviews I wanted to change all of these to match exactly what they were from my point of view, but in this case, just to see Carp_Farm_Loading, that's fine for this, I don't need to change anything there.
In this case, we have a wide shot, but there is something very specific going on here and sometimes when that happens, especially in this case, I think we might be able to use this for establishing the location. So I'll just make a little note, but I won't make these notes every time just when it's very specific like that, something in the footage or something that I want, of course. This is not a wide shot, it's more of a medium shot so I do want to be precise. And so on, here I have this shot that's called Tour, where he is working, and though what's important here is that this is the medium shot, and that the B angle goes much tighter.
You see that, that's going to match up nicely with the wide shot. So I want to make sure that I have medium here and close-up there. Now these terms, they're not ironclad, right, there is no exact rule when does something become a medium shot and a wide shot. I mean that's pretty clearly a close-up but what's important here is you know what you're looking for, not that you match some exact thing out of a textbook. This process continues. When there is a very clear camera move, like that pan that follows the truck, I will also note that.
So this one would become wide shot pan. Just like to check them, see what happens in the course of this shot and then make my little annotation. Start with medium shot here but if we follow it through you see that framing change, we go to close-up, I actually kind of like this close-up shot and the medium shot. I think I might get two shots out of this one clip, so I'll make a little notation.
This one works the same way, so we start with the wide but we also have a close-up before the end. On each one I like to scan through just to see if there is a framing change. So here we go from medium, and then we also have wide at the end. Starts with the close-up, and then we have a pan at the end.
So I get to this one, and I really like it as a wide shot with little bit of a pan in there, doesn't start to pan right-away, but a little later on. This part here I like, that pan yeah. I think that might really be useful, I'm liking the look of that.
So in this case I want to mark it as wide shot pan, and I'm just as I'm looking at this, and I'm logging, I'm thinking that could be my opening shot. So I'm going to make a log note of it right there and go ahead and mark it good. And that's pretty much my pattern here, I mark things with their framing, occasionally with a good check mark and then if there's a note that I find really, really, relevant. Just keep working through the whole thing. So you can see that I've got into the bottom of my list just going through each clip and adding the same information.
Sometimes I like to glance at my entire list, so the shortcut for that is to be over the Project Pane and the Tilde key, and we can see absolutely everything, and I like that sometimes just to scan down and take a glance. at what's the distribution of my shots, how many times did I mark something that was good, here are my specific notes when I realized there was something really important. Here's a good example, so it's Farmers_ Market_Broll, but it's got BD in the shot. I thought that was important enough to go ahead and make an extra note, because BD is my important character.
I find it very organic to work this way, I'm not worried too much that I capture every single piece of information. More I'm trying to put down the things that I see is important, editing is a very personal process, and it is down to your opinion. So don't be afraid to inject those opinions and thoughts that you're having while you look at the footage right in your logging. It's actually very helpful.

EBENSBURG - Sometimes teams can learn lessons in a loss. Sometimes a loss brings a moral victory. Sometimes coaches talk about finding positives in a loss.
None of these was true for Bishop Carroll Catholic in its 70-40 home loss Thursday night to Bishop McCort.
"You throw this one right in the garbage can," Huskies coach Cosie Aliquo said. "You forget about it. We lost to a class act team and a well-coached team. We just forget about it and move on. We look to Monday, that's it."
Bishop Carroll came into the game winners of three of its last four games. However, it never got anything going in the game. The Huskies never held the lead in the game. The Crushers opened the game on an 11-2 run and ended the quarter on an 8-2 run. The runs allowed Bishop McCort to hold a 19-8 lead after the first quarter.
The Huskies' low first-quarter point output was combination of poor shooting, lack of rebounding of missed shots and the inability to force turnovers on defense. The Huskies have lived all season on getting easy baskets from turnovers on their press. Thursday night, they were not able to succeed. Bishop McCort was able to break the press throughout the night, getting layups and easy baskets.
"They pass the ball really well, and we looked like we did just did not have any energy on the defensive end," Aliquo said. "That is a credit to them. As much as they pass the ball, I think we were chasing the basketball, and we just couldn't get anything going. That falls on me."
After the first quarter, the closest that Bishop Carroll got was eight points, at 20-12, early in the second quarter. However, three 3-pointers and a layup by the Crushers led to an 11-4 run that put the game out of reach. Bishop McCort took a 37-22 lead into the locker room at halftime.
The Crushers outscored the Huskies, 33-18, in the second half to set the final score.
Despite scoring 70 points, Bishop McCort head coach Patrick Hollern wanted to talk about his team's defensive play.
"The biggest thing with us right now is that we are really understanding how to play team defense," Hollern said. "We're not taking too many defensive possessions off. It's really about our guys buying in, being together and all into this whole thing."
Billy Hipp led all scorers with 18 points. Scott Ranck led the Huskies with 12 points. Ranck was the only Huskies player to score in double digits.
"I think they had a pretty good offensive effort, and they had a pretty good defensive effort," Aliquo said about Bishop McCort's performance. "They look like a team that is read for the playoffs. We look like a team that's not even close."

How many times have you been distracted while driving and seen a cyclist jut into the road or a child chasing a ball, or even a scampering beagle? You brake and think, thank God. But for Darin Strauss, newly eighteen, setting out with friends for a game of Putt Putt on a warm spring day at the tail end of his senior year, things did not go that smoothly. A cyclist suddenly veered across a lane and a half--and as he braked all he saw was a yellow spoke reflector catch the light and a head crash into his windshield. For him, the worst had happened. The police cleared him, said it was not his fault. The local paper reported this, but Strauss has had to life the rest of his life with the guilt and pain of this accident.

Balmy May will soon be here. And on the very first of the month, Elizabeth will lead a discussion about an American classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain's famous novel was first published in England in 1894, but still generates controversy to this day. Earlier this year, a scholar published an edited version that cleaned up some of the words, many of them based on race. The reaction was immediate and, on the whole, negative. Many people prefer the book the way Twain conceived and wrote it.
National Park Week is April 16-24 and has been created to celebrate this country's 394 National Parks. "This year's focus, Healthy Parks, Healthy People, highlights the connection between human and environmental health and the vital role America's national parks play in both."Indiana isn't awash in National Parks, but we are blessed with amazing State Parks, State Forests and lots of opportunities for hiking and connecting with nature. Despite some possible rainy weather, what better time to celebrate nature!

Do you know what my favorite thing about the library is? Everything! Ok, maybe I am biased because I work here but I do wonder about people who haven't discovered the riches within. Popular magazines? Check. The latest Michael Koryta? Check. The Wall Street Journal? Check. Nora Roberts, book discussions, graphic novels, Paolo Bacigalupi, and downloadable audio and ebooks? Check and check.Why the celebration of the library?It's National Library Week!
It's April and National Poetry Month is in full swing. It's easy to see why a large group of poets, librarians, and publishers chose April to promote this wonderful art, for as e.e.cummings said, "in Just-/ spring when the world is mud-lucious... and puddle-wonderful." Here are several contemporary books that I found compelling.
Have you ever read the back of your shampoo bottle and wondered what all those ingredients actually are? Then No More Dirty Looks by Siobhan O'Connor and Alexandra Spunt is for you. The beauty product industry is both huge and powerful and generally don't want consumers to know that most of their products contain thousands of chemicals that can readily be absorbed through our skin. Many of these chemicals are known irritants, and some are possible carcinogens.

1. The table you are looking-up is a very small table with only one row on the customers spreadsheet!!
2. The formula you have used is looking for the string maitland&nsw&2320 (or in fact the nearest match - since you have specifed the fourth parameter as true) in the F column (the leftmost one in the table); (specifically in cell F8 since there is only one row in your table).
3. If you wanted to string-together (or concatenate) the elements maitland nsw and 2320, the correct syntax would be "maitland"&"nsw"&"2320"
4. As long as the inverted commas have been set correctly, then the value of G8 (since the G column is column 2 in your table) should be returned as the result, since this is the only possible value in the one-rowed table.
I think I now see what you are trying to do - that is if the three columns in customers are suburb, state and postcode.
To use vlookup you would need a fourth column to the left of these three, containing some references such as customer names, etc.
You would then need to concatenate three separate vlookups to return the three results as a string, viz:-
=VLOOKUP("RefName",customers!E8:H20,2)&", "&VLOOKUP("RefName",customers!E8:H20,3)&", "&VLOOKUP("RefName",customers!E8:H20,4)&"."
Each vlookup would look for the RefName in the e column and return the values for columns 2,3&4 or f,g&h or suburb,state&postcode.
Also included in the formula is some punctuation so that for a value in column E called RefName, you should get the result:- maitland, nsw, 2320. assuming these are the values for RefName in that row of the table.

Orleans Darkwa had a few moments to himself on Thursday at the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl Media Day.
While all the cameras and reporters flocked to Tulane football coach Curtis Johnson, the senior running back who ran through the Bob Toledo era to Johnson's had a chance to marvel at how far he has come.
The journey won't be measured in yards. Darkwa never topped the production from his freshman season when he set an all-time Tulane freshman record with 925 rushing yards. He followed with 924 yards his sophomore season but injuries set in in 2012 and some of 2013 and the yards dropped off.
Darkwa has stayed relatively healthy this season, but worked behind a very young, developing offensive line that was unquestionably the weakest link of the offense. He finished the regular season with 172 carries for 780 yards and nine touchdowns – the best year since 2011.
The truth is that if Darkwa were running behind a more seasoned unit, he would have been one of the leading rushers in the nation, said Johnson, who coached at Miami when the Hurricanes won a national championship. If Darkwa had the benefit of veteran blocking like Miami's through those glory years, Johnson said he would have stacked up yards like candy canes on Christmas morning.
"He'd be like Frank Gore and Willis (McGahee) and Clinton Portis because he's just that kind of player," Johnson said. "It's just unfortunate that with the recruiting, when we got here, we just didn't have the number of linemen to supplement that, so what happened is we ended up playing freshmen and true freshman—which is hard for anyone."
Darkwa said he has taken pride watching the young guys develop on the line and that the linemen improved as the season wore on.
"That's the great thing about it. They're young," Darkwa said. "They are still developing. I think this year having their leader as far as (center) Zach Morgan back there to kind of keep them disciplined and help in the weight room and in the film room constantly, it really helped them. So I think with him leaving, they are realizing what it takes to be successful as far as a line and what they can do to grow."
Cairo Santos, the team's Lou Groza Award-winning senior place kicker, can definitely relate. His banner year was last season when he made 21-of-21 field goals and had a well-oiled, seasoned field goal operations team. Graduation and a transfer left him with a new unit that was just learning the ropes early in the season. Santos didn't have the same kind of season this fall, either.
Santos said he respects the way Darkwa handled the young guys, showing patience and exhibiting a team-centric vibe.
"Orleans is just that type of person," Santos said. "I've never seen him get mad.... He has always worked his butt off to be in this program and sometimes the line wasn't doing their job, so the offense wasn't really performing as expected but Orleans never blames the line. He always backs up the line."
Getting to a bowl game trumps any personal accolade Santos or Darkwa have achieved, they both agreed.
"Obviously, I put the team first," Darkwa said. "You set your goals at the beginning of the season but at the same time, I'm here at a bowl game, something I've never experienced before. Whatever I can do to help my team win. I feel like seven wins is a good number. Obviously, we had some that slipped away, but with me, it's a team-first mentality. All the other stuff will come later. You got your positives and negatives as far as what I did on the field and I can always get better."
Darkwa finally drew a crowd as the media rotated from table to table in West Bunker clubhouse of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He quickly transformed from quiet reflection to a mega-watt smile and much-welcome talk about playing in a bowl game.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for Darkwa, who has rushed for 2,870 yards (fourth in Tulane history) and is second on Tulane's all-time touchdowns list with 36.
"We've had our ups and downs as a program," Darkwa said. "With this being our last year – I say it a lot – it's just a blessing having this opportunity to play in a bowl game. Sometimes, a lot of people don't get that opportunity, so with this being my last year, it's just a blessing, and I know that this program is going to do even better than before."

What is in this article?:
- As U.S. eats less meat, market potential will hinge on exports
- Poultry sector expansion
- Meat export outlook
"In our domestic market, total meat consumption will increase as the population grows, but it's going to be tough to see growth in per capita meat consumption," says John Anderson, deputy chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation. "I think there are a lot of consumer preference and cultural issues behind that — people just don't eat meat like they once did," he said at the annual meeting of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation.
PHILLIP TURNER, from left, Leakesville, Miss.; Louis Breaux, Kiln, Miss.; and Pat and Juanita Byrd, Sandhill, Miss., were among those attending the annual meeting of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation.
Poultry sector expansion
The poultry industry has been in expansion mode for most of 2013, Anderson says. "We've seen a fairly significant week-to-week increase in broiler egg sets. Seasonally, there's a strong tendency starting at middle of year for egg sets to start dropping pretty dramatically, but this year they essentially stayed level through the summer. That's pretty remarkable, and I think it's indicative of the interest integrators have in getting some higher production.
"Broiler production has been consistently higher than last year, and over the last six weeks we've had a fairly substantial increase year-over-year in poultry production. This higher production is starting to put some pressure on price."
A bright spot in the poultry market, he says, has been with boneless, skinless thighs. "These have been a huge success story for the poultry industry the last two years. Demand has grown quite a bit, compared to boneless, skinless breasts, which are at about the three-year average price. Wings, we're actually below three-year average price.
"Boneless, skinless thighs are still adding a lot of value compared to three years ago.I see these featured a lot more in the supermarkets and I hear a lot more talk about recipes for them — a really hot product for the sector."
In the poultry market overall, Anderson says, questions are arising as to whether production is overwhelming demand, if we're going to have to contend with weakness. I don't think that's the case.
"I think what we're seeing is that integrators have got to the point they've decided they have enough production coming on that they want to start trying to steal market share from their competitors. They're getting pretty aggressive in their pricing. It's not so much that demand is bad; it's more that they're trying to throw out some bargains, trying to increase their market share.
"When overall meat demand has been pretty good, when the economic numbers are starting to look quite a bit better, when we've got really strong growth of protein consumption in the developing world, it just doesn't compute with me that we could be looking at a demand side problem with poultry.
"Rather, I think the integrators are really pulling out the stops, trying to move a lot of product now that they've got expansion going on, and trying to take market share from competitors and from competing meats. If you're a grower, I think it's a positive story."

Additional news from Day 3 of the International Myeloma Workshop in Paris:
I always appreciate listening to Dr S. V. Rajkumar from the Mayo Clinic. He talked about his practice of putting patients into one of three categories: High risk (about 15%); intermediate risk (10%); and standard risk (75%). This allows him to treat each group differently. (Check out www.msmart.org for specific details.)
Dr. Rajkumar does not use Melphalan, Thalidomide, High-dose Dex, or Velcade twice/week; and he definitely follows the recommended standard to NOT treat mgus or smoldering MM.
So what does he do? He treats patients in the standard-risk category with Revlimid and low-dose Dex. That practice drew immediate disagreement from another MM expert. Many doctors believe that more treatment up front is better, and that patients should be getting at least a three-to-four drug cocktail, e.g RVd or VMPT.
"Try your best bullet at the beginning of the disease," says Dr. A. Polumbo.
For patients who fall into the intermediate-risk category, Rajkumar believes in a Velcade regimen, because Velcade overcomes translocation (4;14) and chromosome 13q deletion, part of Mayo's "intermediate" definition. Velcade is only given once a week and sub-q to minimize side effects.
Rajkumar says he really doesn't know the best treatment for those who fall into the high-risk category, given lack of successful protocols for high-risk patients, but he probably does RVd.
Length of treatment is determined by category as well, says Rajkumar:
Length of treatment is determined by category as well, says Rajkumar:18 months for standard-risk patients, then "discuss" maintenance; one year for intermediate-risk patients, then Velcade maintenance once every other week for two years; and for high-risk patients, do whatever is needed to get into a CR, then Velcade until progression.
However, as precise as this may sound, Rajkumar also says: "If anyone says 'xyz is the standard of care,' they are wrong. Rather, they can only offer their opinion."
And in fact, for the rest of the session I listened to descriptions of alphabet soup trials using VMP, VTD, RVD, MPR and more, many followed by maintenance treatments Rev, Vel, or placebo's.

Each text has its own peculiarities, but there are a number of well-known scanning errors you will be dealing with all the time.
Punctuation is always a problem. Periods, commas and semi-colons are often confused, as are colons and semi-colons. There are also usually a number of extra or missing spaces in the e-text.
The problem of quotes can assume nightmarish proportions in a text which contains a lot of dialog, particularly when single and double quotes are nested.
The numeral 1, the lower-case letter l, the exclamation mark ! and the capital I are routinely confused, and often, single or double quotes may be mistaken for one of these.
Lower-case m is often mistaken for rn or ni.
The letters h and b and e and c are commonly mis-read, and these are probably the hardest of all to catch, since ear/car, eat/cat, he/be, hear/bear, heard/beard are all common words which no spell-checker will flag as problems.
For example:
" Hello1' caIled jirnmy breczily. 11Anyone home ? " There seemed to he no-oneabout. Only tbe eat beard him."
should read:
"Hello!" called Jimmy breezily, "Anyone home?" There seemed to be no-one about. Only the cat heard him.

Teachers rarely dispense a "D" grade. They only do so when performance has been utterly lousy, or when they want to signal that without a better effort, a failing grade may be next. At least that was the logic behind the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and their quadrennial look at our nation's infrastructure four years ago. Soon after President Barack Obama took office in 2009, they slapped a "D" grade on the crumbling infrastructure of the United States.
Call it "the wake-up call that went unnoticed." Legislators in Washington have accomplished little since then, so our nation's highways, bridges, byroads and water systems have suffered from even more benign neglect. Next month, soon after President Obama's inauguration, the ASCE will again weigh in with its report card. Will it actually issue an "F" grade this time around? And would that force Washington to finally address the issue?
A pennywise logic
Under the twisted new logic of Washington, there is no need to spend money in areas that don't immediately need them. But such logic is pennywise and pound-foolish. Take the I-35 Mississippi River Bridge collapse in Minneapolis back in August 2007 as an example. Engineers knew the bridge was showing deep signs of stress (in 1990, the federal government gave the I-35W bridge a rating of "structurally deficient," citing significant corrosion in its bearings), but minor fixes led them to conclude the bridge could hold up just fine for a little longer.
Well, once the bridge finally collapsed, 13 lives were lost, another 145 people were badly injured and the region would suffer crippling delays for more than a year while a new bridge was being built. The fact that the new bridge was built in just 13 months means contractors had to work double-time, which means higher costs. Remarkably, the Minneapolis bridge was just 36-years-old when it when it broke apart. Many of our nation's bridges are far older, with the average U.S. bridge being roughly 43-years-old.
Even more remarkable is the fact that 73,000 bridges in the U.S. are deemed "structurally deficient." The ASCE figures it will take $2.2 trillion to completely upgrade the country's crumbling infrastructure. And that's up $600 billion from the previous forecast from 2005. In effect, the longer we defer that spending, the worse the problem becomes.
It may be wiser to view these costs as investments rather than expenses. The San Francisco wing of the Federal Reserve studied the issue and found that every dollar spent on infrastructure brings a positive return. It used highway spending as an example and found that "each dollar of federal highway grants received by a state raises that state's annual economic output by at least two dollars, a relatively large multiplier."
A 2013 deal
Thankfully, awareness of the infrastructure problem is growing in Washington and President Obama is pushing for $50 billion in fresh infrastructure funds in current budget talks. Sure, it's hard to see where we'll get the money in these budget-constrained times, and any effort to revamp the U.S. infrastructure radically will take many years. But these problems won't simply go away.
The longer-term price tag will be formidable. Former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell has suggested that the government needs to spend an extra $180 billion a year for five years just to start to make a meaningful dent in the problem. That's roughly $600 for every man, woman and child in the United States, every year.
Where would that money go? The various assets that need to be addressed include:
ince 1993, is quite likely to rise around 50 cents a gallon in 2013.
How do Americans feel about a boost to infrastructure spending? They're divided. About 69% of Democrats support President Obama's goal of injecting $50 billion in infrastructure spending as part of the "fiscal cliff" compromise, according to a recent poll conducted by the Huffington Post and market research agency YouGov. But only 24% of Republicans support such a move, while a plurality of independent voters (38% for vs. 26% against) say it's a wise move.
Action to Take --> Inaction is becoming less of an option. A major infrastructure problem, such as another collapsed bridge, may be just around the corner.
As noted earlier, we're just weeks away from hearing about the ASCE's next report card. Will the U.S. infrastructure get a better grade this time around? "We haven't really invested additional money, so I would be hard-pressed to believe that the grade would improve," ASCE president Greg Diloreto told Bloomberg News this past summer. If anything, tight state budgets mean that basic maintenance on many infrastructure items has been cut back, so the possibility of a "D" grade is quite high.
For investors, there is a silver lining. In part two of this analysis of our nation's infrastructure, I'll focus on the investment opportunities what will arise from the eventual upturn in infrastructure spending. Many of these firms have been suffering through a lean stretch, but could be poised for much better days ahead.

HEALTH activists on Thursday called on the Department of Trade and Industry to drive through sweeping patent law reforms which they say are needed to bring down the cost of medicines, as the deadline closed for comments on its draft intellectual property policy.
While the draft policy was criticised by Stellenbosch University's intellectual property law unit, which described it as unsystematic, confusing and riddled with errors, health activists and pharmaceutical multinationals have nevertheless seized the opportunity to lobby for their position.
The stakes are high, with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) pushing for changes that they say will increase competition and drive down medicine prices, while the Innovative Pharmaceutical Association of SA (Ipasa) is arguing that there are already many provisions in South Africa's laws that facilitate access to generic medicines.
"This policy is not just about legal technicalities. It will directly affect the health and lives of many millions of people. By fixing the patent laws, South Africa can lower prices of existing medicines and create incentives for the development of new and improved treatments to tackle the diseases people live with every day," said the TAC's Gauteng secretary, Andrew Mosane.
The joint TAC-MSF submission said South Africa paid "artificially high" prices for medicines because it "blindly handed out patents" without examining applications to see if they met the criteria defined in the Patents Act. "This allows pharmaceutical companies to get multiple patents on the same medicine by making small changes, even when such changes have no benefit for patients."
Ipasa spokeswoman Val Beaumont said most of the patents granted in South Africa for medicines made by multinational pharmaceutical companies had already been subjected to substantive examination in other jurisdictions. "Ipasa supports the concept of granting strong patents. What is of concern to us is that the introduction of such a system could result in unintended delays in the registration of patents."
The activists' submission was accompanied by an open letter signed by more than 130 academics, advocacy groups and civil society organisations from around the world supporting their position. Changes to South Africa's laws were needed to prevent excessive patenting and other barriers to generic entry to the market, and thus drive price competition, they said.
In addition to a patent examination system, the activists are calling for measures to allow opposition before and after patents are granted, and greater public access to information about patent applications.
They also want reforms to make it easier for the government to use provisions in the World Trade Organisation's agreement on "trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights" to issue compulsory licences and allow parallel importation of medicines.
Although there are provisions in the current Medicines Act that allow compulsory licensing, the activists say it would cost so much money and take so long to get one issued that it is not practical to do so.
Ms Beaumont said Ipasa was concerned that pre-and post-grant objections could provide the opportunity for "frivolous" opposition.

JAMESTOWN – A city man already was facing a forgery case before he was arrested by police today for allegedly paying for a $60 pizza delivery to his home with three fresh counterfeit $20 bills.
Michael B. Gordon, 22, was charged with first-degree forgery and faces further investigation by both city police and the U.S. Secret Service's Buffalo Office, police said.
Staff at a city pizzeria called to complain after the delivery to Gordon's home and he was taken into custody about 11 a.m.
Armed with a search warrant, officers found in his home more counterfeit money and computer equipment allegedly used to print the fake bills, police said. Gordon was being held in the Chautauqua County Jail.
Anyone who suspects they may have received a counterfeit bill is asked to contact city police at 483-7529.

Blood In The Rain - Poem by Sara Bergamini
She walks right past him
And she doesn't see
He doesn't like her
He's in love with me
I see her crying on the street
When I see her I get a chill
She cuts her veins in the rain
The blood drips on the street
And gets taken away by the rain stream
The blood falls at the rate of her heart beat
It's too late they've already taken her away
She will be remembered but her soul has already passed away
She was lost in love
But I guess for him it wasn't enough
Because he loved me
He didn't love her back
Because of me she left

She cuts veins in the rain, This implies that she cuts veins in the rain; some other veins, not necessarly hers. You could have said her cut veins...; or she cut her veins in....
Another thing that is not clear is this one: It to late. I think you meant to write that it was too late.
Fix these two things and the diciton of some of the lines and you will have a much better poem. Right now, it is very bad written. (Report) Reply

Jordan's King Appoints Prime Minister After Cabinet Resigns
Jordan's King Abdullah appointed Awn al-Khasawneh, a former judge at the International Court of Justice, as prime minister after accepting the Cabinet's resignation.
Khasawneh was given the task of forming a new government, the royal court said today in an e-mailed statement. He replaces Marouf Bakhit, a former army general who critics said was slow to implement political and economic changes following protests inspired by a wave of popular uprisings across the Arab world that ousted leaders in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.
"This was always likely to happen," David Butter, regional head of the Middle East at the Economist Intelligence Unit, said by telephone from London. "Bakhit is taking the rap for the unsatisfactory scope of constitutional reforms in the country."
Jordan, one of the smallest economies in the Middle East, relies on foreign investment and grants to support its budget and current-account deficits. The government has increased public salaries and subsidies since pro-reform protests broke out as part of this year's regional turmoil.
King Abdullah has changed the government twice this year and promised to ease restraints on political parties and allow the formation of governments based on a parliamentary majority, without saying when this could happen.
Central Bank Governor
"This happens quite often in Jordanian politics," Butter said. "Bakhit had already attracted criticism for the forced resignation of the central bank governor last month."
Central bank Governor Faris Sharaf resigned and was replaced by his deputy, Mohammad Said Shahin. Bakhit had criticized Sharaf, who wanted the government to rein in spending amid a widening budget deficit, for being a "liberal."
Jordan's economy will probably grow 3 percent this year and 3.5 percent in 2012, as the regional political turmoil reduces remittances and foreign investment, Finance Minister Mohammed Abu Hammour said in a Sept. 7 interview. The budget deficit for this year will be about 5.5 percent of output, he said. The International Monetary Fund estimates the economy will grow 2.5 percent in 2011.
Excluding foreign grants, the government had a budget deficit of about 970 million dinars ($1.37 billion) in the first eight months of the year compared with same period last year, according to the Finance Ministry. Jordan's trade deficit in the first eight months of the year widened 19.7 percent to 4.67 billion dinars, the Department of Statistics said in an e-mailed statement today.
Message of Reform
"Political reform characterizes the current phase in the journey of our beloved Jordan," Abdullah told the prime minister in his designation letter. "Priority must be given to the completion of legislation and laws that regulate political life, at the forefront of which are the election and political parties laws. These should be agreed upon through an effective and constructive national dialogue with the entire political spectrum and civic institutions, before they are approved through the established constitutional channels."
The monarch also said an independent commission to oversee the elections must established.
Khasawneh, 61, is a former chief of the royal court and previously served as a legal adviser to the late King Hussein, father of the current monarch. He is a graduate of the U.K.'s University of Cambridge and was vice president of the ICJ from 2006 to 2009.
Jordan's opposition, made up largely of Islamist groups that oppose peace with Israel as well as members of the communist party, has staged protests this year to demand reform and an end to corruption, inspired by the region's pro-democracy revolts.

Undergraduate Admissions
Cost Guarantees
Western Illinois University ensures that your college years will be a good investment with its guaranteed four-year rate for tuition, fees, and room & meal plan. All new undergraduate students entering the University are automatically included in the plan, which freezes the per-hour rate you pay for a four-year period, so costs will stay the same each year you are here. Western was the first university in Illinois to offer this guarantee, and we are the only university in the state to include fees and room and meal plan in that guarantee.
Here's How It Works
The rate for tuition, fees, and room and meal plan will be fixed for a four-year period and remain in effect as long as you maintain continuous enrollment. If your major requires more than four years to complete, the guaranteed rate will be extended to cover the expected time for degree completion. Each year the University's Board of Trustees will set new rates for the entering class. If a fee is added and approved by the board, such as funding a new student service, the fee will apply to all students when implemented.

Communiqués – CESC Releases New Indicators in Education
TORONTO, September 8, 2009 – The Canadian Education Statistics Council (CESC) released today Education Indicators in Canada: An International Perspective, 2009, a new report that provides indicators on educational attainment, upper-secondary graduation, tertiary graduation, the academic performance of students, labour-market outcomes, the economic benefits of education, expenditures on education, international students, and transitions to the labour market — for Canada, its provinces and territories, and for OECD countries.Some of the results gathered in this report indicate that
• In 2007, 21% of Canadian adults aged 55 to 64 had completed university programs. Canada ranked fourth among OECD countries for this age group. For the 25-to-34 age group, Canada shared 12th rank with Japan and the United Kingdom, with 29% of the population having graduated from university.
• In 23 of 25 OECD countries, including Canada (and all provinces and territories), females were more likely than males to graduate from high school. The same pattern held true for graduation from university programs.
• As in other OECD countries, in 2006, postsecondary graduates in Canada earned considerably more than secondary graduates, an average of 40% more. This advantage ranged from 7% in Alberta to more than 55% in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec.
• In 2005, Canada devoted 6.2% of its GDP to educational institutions, above the OECD average of 5.7%. This placed Canada seventh highest among OECD countries.
• In Canada, about 7% of students enrolled in bachelor's or master's programs, and 21% enrolled in advanced research programs, were international students. This compares with OECD averages of 7% and 16%, respectively. British Columbia, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia had the highest proportion of international students; in these provinces, international students accounted for approximately 10% of all university students.
"These new indicators will assist us in understanding better how different education systems work and will allow us to define new benchmarks while developing a deeper understanding of positive education strategies from around the world," said Diane McGifford, Minister of Advanced Education and Literacy for Manitoba and the new Chair of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC).
This report is the first in a new series intended to facilitate the comparison of education systems in Canada's provinces and territories with those of OECD member countries. The education indicators presented in the report are drawn from a set of indicators released today in OECD's Education at a Glance.
"CMEC's vision for Learn Canada 2020, our joint ministerial statement, also gives us a new way to compare provincial and territorial education systems to those in other countries," said Minister McGifford.
For additional key findings, consult the Highlights section of Education Indicators in Canada: An International Perspective, 2009, at www.cmec.ca/publications/education-indicators-canada-international-perspective-2009.pdf
CESC is a partnership between CMEC and Statistics Canada established in 1989 to improve the quality and comparability of Canadian education data and to provide information that can inform policy development in education. CMEC is an intergovernmental body composed of the ministers responsible for elementary-secondary and advanced education from the provinces and territories.

Casa da Música
Casa da Música was conceived to mark 2001, the year in which Porto was Cultural Capital of Europe, and it is the first new building in Portugal to be entirely dedicated to music - to the presentation and public enjoyment of music, to music education and to the creation of music. The project took shape in 1999 after the Rem Koolhaas & Ellen van Loon - Office for Metropolitan Architecture won the international architectural competition. Work began in 1999 on the site of Porto's former central tram garage on the Rotunda da Boavista, and Casa da Música opened its doors to the public on April 15th , 2005. Casa da Música was planned as a home for all types of music and it is not only part of the urban redevelopment of Porto but also part of a network of cultural facilities, for the city of Porto and for the wider world. Underlying it is an innovative and wide-ranging cultural project, which aims to make an exciting contribution to the national and international music scene, as an arena for all types of musical events - from classical music to jazz, from fado to electronic music, from great international productions to more experimental projects. Besides concerts, recitals and other types of performance, Casa da Música also organises events for musicians and musicologists and invests in research into the origins of Portuguese music. In addition, it plays a very important role in music education. It is a cultural meeting point between music and other areas of artistic creation and knowledge, providing a space for all kinds of audiences and creators.Retour haut de page

Beware of false dawns? No need to remind Villa fans of the need for caution and patience as the new Premier League season approaches.
Expectations have been firmly grounded after two bitterly disappointing campaigns – the last of which was just about the most dismal nine months of football many a Villain can remember – and yet there is no denying the welcome feeling of genuine optimism around the club.
I've kept a low profile for the past couple of weeks. I haven't been on holiday, I haven't been totally obsessed and engrossed with Euro 2012 - although I am enjoying it - and I haven't forgotten about the Villa.
But here's the thing: I haven't forgotten about Villa, but I have stopped worrying about them.
So much for Solskjaer, and a swift conclusion to Villa's latest managerial search. Following the Norwegian's decision to withdraw himself from the running for the position as coach, seemingly before he had even been offered the position, concluded a series of rather bizarre days for Villa.
Direct, decisive and damning.
Less than 12 hours after watching the 'highlights' of Villa's final match of the 2011-12 season, scowling at yet more defensive irresponsibility, player indifference and managerial culpability, before skulking off to bed to lie awake and inwardly fume at the sheer incompetence that had rendered the previous nine and a half months the most shambolic and miserable I've ever endured as a fan, news.
I don't personally know any Wigan fans, so I can only guess at how they were feeling over the past weekend.
Triumphant? Jubilant? Proud? I'd guess at all three, and I can understand why. Their team looked doomed just a few short weeks ago, but instead of staring down the abyss and panicking, they galvanised themselves as a unit and propelled their way up the table with a series of impressive results.
Maybe now it's beginning to feel real. Villa could get relegated.
I've been poor wind-up value over the last couple of months. Friends and colleagues - smug grins on their faces - have been falling over themselves to get the Villa jibes in; things aren't looking good, eh? Starting to struggle, aren't you? Reckon you'll get sucked into the battle at the bottom?
So, welcome back, Martin.
We knew you'd return one day, although, if we're honest, it was something of a mild surprise that you're back with Sunderland; thought you'd have kept on eye on events at Chelsea and Spurs, maybe even the England national team, played the waiting game, stalling for a bigger prize.
Still, we're hardly in a position to judge, so forgive us if we've come across as a bit sour. We still are, you see: sour, sore and slightly jealous. You might feel some of those emotions coming from us on Saturday.
There's no substitute for winning matches.
That's the lesson Villa need to learn after the threat of relegation was put firmly back on the agenda. It can still happen, if we don't wake up to the danger and actually approach a match with the intention of winning it.
I was exactly 232 words into this week's Villa column when I heard the news. Stiliyan Petrov, Villa's captain, has been diagnosed with acute leukemia.
... and everything feels much better.
It's been almost pleasant being a Villa fan for the past couple of weeks; with this Tuesday's scheduled match against Bolton being postponed, the glow that comes with winning has lasted that little bit longer. There's nothing like a victory to put an extra spring in the step and Villa's 1-0 win over Fulham was perfectly timed; without a home win since the beginning of winter 2011 (November 5, to be precise), this was a first Villa Park three-pointer for four months.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
SAFC® Commercial – the custom manufacturing services business unit of Sigma-Aldrich – said today it will expand two U.S. manufacturing facilities to bring new targeted and cytotoxic therapies to market more quickly and cheaply, citing increased customer demand. The cost of both expansions was not disclosed.
"We are directly addressing their needs for supply chain continuity when sourcing the high-quality manufacturing materials, technologies and services that drive the performance of their end products," SAFC president Gilles Cottier said in a statement.
SAFC is the second company in as many days to announce manufacturing expansion plans related in part to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Yesterday, Roche said it will spend a total CHF 800 million ($874.6 million) and add 500 jobs over five years by expanding its production capacity for ADCs as well as biologic drugs.
Today, SAFC said it will raise commercial-scale manufacturing capacity for ADCs in St. Louis, and expand its high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredient (HPAPI) manufacturing and storage at its Verona facility near Madison, WI
The St. Louis expansion is expected to be completed by mid-2015. The updated facility will feature segregated areas for high-potent solids handling, manufacturing, and aseptic bulk filling of product. Batches up to 600L/3kg can be manufactured under ISO 7 classification and the facility is suitable for HPAPI containment for SafeBridge™ Category 4 compounds.
"Once complete, the St. Louis expansion will enable continuous scale-up of ADCs from preclinical to clinical phases and into commercial-scale production," said Andreas Weiler, SAFC's head of global strategic marketing for contract manufacturing services & solutions.
SAFC added that additional commercial-scale manufacturing capacity has also been designed in St. Louis, intended to accommodate future growth in demand for ADC production.
By mid-2014, the Verona site will have a new warehouse with storage capacity for raw materials, as well as three new cGMP manufacturing areas to support projects. Two of the areas will be designated for smaller lab-scale manufacturing in the kilo range, while the other will accommodate larger-scale manufacturing up to 800 liters. The facility expansion will also provide space for growth of SAFC's product stability sample storage and testing service, as well as a process scale-up lab to support GMP production, SAFC said.
Verona was originally constructed as an add-on to the Madison facility for cGMP manufacture of late-phase and commercial HPAPIs requiring 200 to 4,000 liters capacity.
"The investments at the St. Louis and Verona sites are complementary and allow SAFC to offer continuity for customers' drug development and commercialization programs," said Dave Bormett, the company's director of operations.
Verona's HPAPI handling and containment standards (<0.1 microgram/M3) enable the site to manufacture the high-potency toxins and linkers used by the St. Louis site to conjugate biological molecules and develop ADCs.
Yesterday, Roche said it will construct a new ADC manufacturing plant in Switzerland while expanding its biologics manufacturing capacity and capabilities at existing plants in Vacaville, CA, Oceanside, CA, and Penzberg, Germany. The pharma giant linked the projects to its first approved ADC – Kadcyla for HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer – and another eight ADCs it said were in clinical development.

The Incredible Invisible Bicycle Helmet by HövdingMaegan Tintari
In 2005 Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, two women in Sweden studying Industrial Design at the University of Lund, had an idea for a new type of bicycle helmet that people would actually be happy to wear. After deciding that traditional helmets were not only uncomfortable and bulky, but also gave people unattractive mushroom heads, their concept and project for an invisible, inflatable, airbag helmet began.
They studied bike helmets, contacted head trauma specialists, and staged accidents to collect movement patterns and compared them to normal biking. It took them seven years, and then the Hövding invisible, inflatable helmet concept finally became a reality.
The Hövding helmets sell online for 399 {about $525 US dollars} which is on the high end when you compare the average price of traditional bike helmets that start at about $30. But what is the price of your life? I think Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin may have started this venture as a fashion or style concept, but what they've created is most definitely the safest helmet on the market today. And think about all those extreme sports enthusiasts and athletes whose careers oftentimes end in brain trauma and even death. Could this be the life-saving alternative?

From the Makers
Hövding is a revolutionaly bicycle helmet, a new innovation designed for the modern cyclist. Not only one of the safest helmets on the market but also a discrete chameleon that easily becomes part of your outfits using a changeable shell. It looks like a scarf really.
Unlike other cycle helmets, Hövding is worn as a collar around your neck. The collar contains an airbag that will inflate and protect the head in the event of an accident. Compared to ordinary cycle helmets, Hövding provides the best shock absorption in the world.
Hövding contains sensors that are constantly monitoring the cyclist's movements when it is switched on. The sensors detect any changes in velocity or angle of the cyclist and can distinguish between normal cycling and accidents.
In an accident, Hövding detects the abnormal movement pattern and triggers the airbag. The inflation takes a tenth of a second (0.1 seconds) and the airbag is fully inflated before head impact.
Hövding's battery is easily charged through a computer using the USB cable included, when LEDs and a sound indicate that the battery is low (after about 18 hours of cycling).
In 2012 Swedish insurance company Folksam performed a test on the 13 most common cycle helmets on the market. The test showed that Hövding provides more than three times better shock absorption than any other helmet.
Behind this unique product lie seven years of development, in partnership with experts on cycling head injuries, airbag technology, mathematics and crash tests.

A lot to love at 515 Gordon Lane
A private backyard, a .51-acre lot and more than 2,200 square feet of living space are just a few of the highlights at 515 Gordon Lane. And this cute older home is listed at $189,900.
The Erie residence, built in 1926, has a lot of charm and plenty of interesting details. Out front, the home of Michael and Marylou Sanzobrin starts with a traditional neutral exterior and red entry door with sidelights. Inside, the tile vestibule sweeps into the main living space. Hardwood flooring -- refinished in many rooms -- can be found throughout the house.
To the right, an expansive arch adds architectural detail that marks the 23-by-14-foot living room. The charming space includes multiple windows, a brick fireplace and French doors that connect to the family room.
To the left of the front entrance, the 11-by-13-foot dining room sprawls out with a pretty chandelier, wall sconces and plenty of windows. The dining room wraps attaches to the 23-by-11-foot updated kitchen. Newer neutral tile flooring, set on the diagonal, blankets the kitchen area. It features black granite countertops that contrast with white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.
Another arch, similar to the living room, marks the nearby eating area that overlooks the backyard through patio doors that exit to a roomy deck outside.
The east end of the kitchen features a space that connects to a half bath and pantry en route to the 15-by-10-foot family room where built-ins and a media center highlight the inside wall while a south wall of windows is open to the backyard.
In the main hall, an attractive, open staircase wraps around to a roomy upstairs hallway that branches into four bedrooms and a 19-by-10-foot sunroom that spans the back of the house. The second floor includes one full bath.
The current owners had plans to convert the space into a master bath and closet that would have connected to the 14-by-11-foot master bedroom at the east end of the house. They planned additional storage as well.
Outside, the home includes a detached two-car garage and backyard with that stretches down over a hillside to a stream.
Ellen Engel of Sue Sutto Realtors offers interested buyers a closer look during an open house Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m.

| Administration, told the representatives of software companies, IT services
| companies and Open Source developers that the government is about to review
