Funding Opportunities 2012 NIH Director's Award Programs
Pioneer and New Innovator Awards
NIH welcomes proposals for 2012 NIH Director's Pioneer Awards and New Innovator Awards for innovative approaches to major challenges in biomedical or behavioral research.
NIH expects to make at least 7 Pioneer Awards and at least 33 New Innovator Awards in summer 2012. To continue its strong record of diversity in these programs, NIH especially encourages women and members of groups that are underrepresented in NIH research to apply.
The deadline for submitting Pioneer Award applications is October 7, 2011. See the instructions in the Funding Opportunity Announcement RFA-RM-11-004 and www.commonfund.nih.gov/pioneer for more information. Send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The deadline for submitting New Innovator Award applications is October 14, 2011. See the instructions in the Funding Opportunity Announcement RFA-RM-11-005 and commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator for more information. Send questions to email@example.com.
The NIH Common Fund encourages collaboration and supports a series of exceptionally high impact, trans-NIH programs. These programs are supported by the Common Fund, and managed by the NIH Office of the Director in partnership with the various NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices. Additional information about the NIH Common Fund can be found at www.commonfund.nih.gov.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) –"The Nation's Medical Research Agency" – includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical and translational medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments and cures for both common and rare diseases.

Statement of NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., on Recommendation to Create a Single Institute for Substance Use, Abuse, and Addiction Research
On Nov. 15, 2010, I received the formal recommendation from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Scientific Management Review Board that NIH create a new Institute focusing on substance use, abuse, and addiction research and related public health initiatives. This Institute would integrate the relevant research portfolios from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and other NIH Institutes and Centers. The formation of a single, new Institute devoted to such research makes scientific sense and would enhance NIH's efforts to address the substance abuse and addiction problems that take such a terrible toll on our society.
Substance use, abuse, and addiction research is carried out by many NIH entities besides NIDA and NIAAA. Consequently, I have asked NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., and National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Director Stephen I. Katz, M.D., Ph.D., to pull together a task force of experts from within NIH to look carefully across all of NIH's 27 Institutes and Centers to determine where substance use, abuse, and addiction research programs currently exist and make recommendations about what programs should be moved into the proposed new Institute. In addition, the task force will survey NIDA and NIAAA for programs that are not related to substance use, abuse, and addiction research and make recommendations about where such programs will go. Final recommendations to the NIH Director will be informed by consultation with relevant stakeholders.
Clearly, it will take some time to carry out this assessment in a thoughtful, systematic manner. I anticipate that the task force will produce a detailed reorganization plan for my consideration sometime in the summer of 2011.
In the interim, all existing substance use, abuse, and addiction research programs at NIH will continue status quo. It is imperative we keep these important lines of research moving forward with all due speed for the benefit of the nation's health.
The Office of the Director, the central office at NIH, is responsible for setting policy for NIH, which includes 27 Institutes and Centers. This involves planning, managing, and coordinating the programs and activities of all NIH components. The Office of the Director also includes program offices that are responsible for stimulating specific areas of research throughout NIH. Additional information is available at www.nih.gov/icd/od.

On October 13, 2010 the Department of Justice filed its brief in the appeal of the preliminary injunction that halted hESC research.
The brief argues that the injunction should be lifted because it is "based on legal error and an erroneous assessment of injuries" to the adult stem cell researchers who brought the suit against NIH (i.e., the plaintiffs). The brief states that 1) plaintiffs have demonstrated no likelihood that the case will be successful on its merits because federal funding for hESC research does not violate the Dickey-Wicker amendment, 2) NIH has consistently interpreted the Dickey-Wicker amendment to permit hESC research, and Congress has repeatedly ratified that interpretation, 3) the court that issued the preliminary injunction erred in setting aside NIH's interpretation that hESC research is permissible under Dickey-Wicker, 4) plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that an injunction is required to avoid imminent, irreparable injury to themselves, and 5) the injunction would result in irreparable injury to NIH, NIH funded research, and the public interest. The same day, the plaintiffs filed with the District Court—the court that issued the preliminary injunction—a combined brief making their case for an expedited ruling in their favor, opposing NIH's request for an expedited ruling in its favor, and responding to the amici curiae briefs submitted on behalf of NIH. In their brief, plaintiffs argued that 1) they have standing in the case due to the increased competition they would face from NIH funding of hESC research, 2) the Dickey-Wicker amendment is unambiguous in its prohibition of hESC research, 3) the legislative history is irrelevant to the interpretation of the Dickey-Wicker amendment, and 4) NIH promulgated the NIH Guidelines for Stem Cell Research in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act by failing to consider the public comments it received when crafting the guidelines.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit extends suspension
Late yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit extended its suspension of the preliminary injunction issued by a lower court that had barred federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research (hESC). This procedural decision means the NIH can continue funding hESC research as the appeals court considers the government's appeal of the preliminary injunction.
NEW NIH Funding Opportunity: NIH Early Independence Award Program
The NIH Common Fund announces the highly selective NIH Director's Early Independence Award Program to provide a mechanism for exceptional, early career scientists who are U.S. residents or permanent citizens to omit traditional post-doctoral training and move into independent academic positions at U.S. institutions directly upon completion of their graduate degrees (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent). The NIH expects to issue 10 awards through this program in fall 2011.
Senator Specter introduces Stem Cell Research Advancement Act of 2010
Senator Specter introduces Stem Cell Research Advancement Act of 2010, Bill S 3766, to codify the language of President Obama's 2009 Executive Order allowing federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. In addition to providing for federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, the Specter bill requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the National Institutes of Health to maintain guidelines on human stem cell research, review the guidelines every three years and update them as the science advances. The bill does not allow federal funds to be used to derive stem cell lines.

NIH Resumes Funding for hESC Research
NIH has resumed funding for human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research. The decision comes in response to a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling granting a temporary stay of the August 23rd preliminary injunction that had barred federal funding for this research (see: http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/STAY%20GRANTED.pdf). In a statement issued today (see: http://www.nih.gov/news/09102010_stemcell_statement.htm), NIH said that it "has resumed intramural research and will continue its consideration of grants that were frozen by the preliminary injunction on August 23. The suspension of all grants, contracts, and applications that involve the use of human embryonic stem cells has been temporarily lifted." In a letter to NIH Institute Directors, Dr. Sally Rockey has provided guidance as to how the institutes should proceed with hESC funding. The text of that letter was made available to Science and can be found here: http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2010/09/nih-rushes-to-hand-out-stem-cell.html#more.
According to the same Science report, the appeals court is expected to rule shortly after September 20th (the deadline for parties in the case to file their briefs with that court) on whether or not to continue the preliminary injunction issued by the lower court. The situation could change, as both sides have filed procedural and substantive motions in the District Court and the Court of Appeals.
The Washington Post, Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research (CAMR), and others are still calling for congressional action. While the appeals court's decision to stay the preliminary injunction provides some temporary relief to the scientific community, the alert that FASEB sent out on Wednesday remains in place. The alert has generated 3,751 emails to Congress since it was released.
NIH Director's Response to Stem Cell Injunction
"Human embryonic stem cell research holds great promise for the development of treatments for people threatened by potentially curable diseases. The recent court ruling that halted the federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research could cause irreparable damage and delay potential breakthroughs to improve care for people living with serious diseases and conditions such as spinal cord injury, diabetes, or Parkinson's disease. The injunction threatens to stop progress in one of the most encouraging areas of biomedical research, just as scientists are gaining momentum--and squander the investment we have already made. The possibility of using these cells to replace those that have been damaged by disease or injury is one of the most breathtaking advances we can envision. Human embryonic stem cells also represent a powerful new approach to the early stages of screening for new drugs, and may hold the secrets to creating entirely new, targeted clinical therapies. We must move forward--without delay--to sustain this field of research that provides so much hope for thousands of patients and their families."

Disembarking cruise ship passengers are being forced to spend hours "imprisoned" at Ellerslie Racecourse because of a lack of facilities on the Auckland waterfront, industry leaders claim.
Cruise New Zealand chairman Craig Harris said the waterfront had no way of providing temporary accommodation or bag storage for modern cruise ships carrying an average of 2800 passengers.
Companies are having to shuttle disembarking passengers to holding facilities such as the racecourse while they wait for their flights home, he said.
Bags are trucked to Auckland Airport for passengers to claim from an exposed area of the carpark.
"Unfortunately it's true," Mr Harris said.
"Their last day in New Zealand is watching the grass grow at Ellerslie Racecourse then packing up their bags in the rain from Auckland Airport. That's worst case - but it's possible.
"It's their last look at the country. It's not a good look."
A new cruise ship terminal is included in a $660 million suite of long-term investment planned by Auckland Council.
However, there is no room in its current budget for the project or a $2 billion inner city rail loop championed by Mayor Len Brown.
Waterfront Development Agency chairman Bob Harvey said the situation was untenable in the long term.
Having passengers "imprisoned" at holding facilities was costing Auckland millions of dollars in lost spending at bars, restaurants and shops, he said.
"They are high value tourists that we want to be able to spend locally in Auckland. I'd like to take them to Waiheke. They're having to spend 12 hours out at Ellerslie Racecourse when they should have the opportunity to see the beautiful sights of Auckland."
Mr Harvey said he had raised the issue with Auckland Mayor Len Brown and received an assurance action would be taken.
"When we found this was happening, we rose it with the Mayor. This is going to be improved."
More than 200,000 cruise ship passengers are expected to arrive in Auckland between October this year and September next year.
A statement from P&O Cruises, which runs New Zealand-based cruise ship the Pacific Pearl, said the lack of port infrastructure was the biggest risk to further industry growth.
The number of New Zealanders who went on a cruise rose by 36 per cent in 2010, but that could stall with a terminal at the company's favoured location Queens Wharf, it said.
"With international cruise ship visits injecting up to $1 million into the local economy at a time, we also believe that Auckland has a once in a lifetime opportunity to develop its waterfront precinct to capture the benefits of such a thriving tourism sector.
"We also believe that after three years of community discussion, action on appropriate cruise terminal facilities in Auckland needs to be a top priority if New Zealand is to achieve the maximum benefit of the growth of cruising."
Mr Harris backed that view. A lack of an international standard terminal is beginning to hurt the burgeoning industry, he said.
He advocated renovating the existing heritage shed on Queens Wharf into a "multi-use" cruise ship terminal.
"We've marketed it so well we've got more cruise ships than we have facilities. Internationally, people are getting sick of it.
"It's unprofessional. Everyone else provides a proper facility. We're not providing the infrastructure and they're paying for it.
"We need a new facility that has bag check in facilities. They need a place where we can say to them - go out today, your bags are here, meet at the end of the day."

Pac is an ATG, obviously.
Khan and Bradley would be forgotten in 5 years.
Ward would be a guy who might have been great one day.

Manny Pacquiao - Atg fillipino warrior who was not scared of a challenge, a small guy who could hang with bigger guys, incredible speed and power and brilliant with angles, his legacy is secure
Amir Khan - A fighter who had more bad habbits than good, had the heart of a champion but lacked the chin.
Tim Bradley - A brave and tough young fighter with an awkward inside fighting style, he could present many problems for top fighters but lacked power, he would beat most of the top fighters but fall short at elite level
Andre Ward - Very well rounded fighter who fought the best in his division and won them pretty comfortably but still had a lot more to give.

Little girl forced to marry a 40-year-old man died on her wedding night from internal injuries after he apparently fucked the shit out of the child, ripping her vagina's walls causing her to bleed to death in excruciating agony.
How that poor child must have screamed as she was being hurt vaginally by the old man's adult penis, but no one came to her rescue. Everyone allowed this child to be MURDERED! The man should be hanged in public square for murder of the 8-year-old. Children's genitalia of that age are not yet developed to handle rough penile penetration.
This crime happened in the country of Yemen, yet another barbaric, uncivilized Arabic country in the middle east where Child Bride evil is part of their Islamic culture.
This was LEGALIZED RAPE AND MURDER OF A CHILD — and the "husband" got away with it.
An eight year old bride in Yemen died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband.The girl, identified only by the name Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.
Activists in the region want to put an end to the practice of marrying young girls, and have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family. Nevertheless, the forced marriage of child brides in Yemen remains a socially accepted custom in many rural areas.
Indeed, the practice has deep cultural and religious roots, and is widespread in Yemen. A February 2009 law set the minimum age for marriage at 17, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.
In particular, a prominent Islamic cleric, Abdulmajeed al-Zindani, issued a fatwa in support of the practice, declaring supporters of a ban on child brides to be apostates, and ultimately leading a successful campaign against legislation that would prevent adult men from marrying children.

El World Cup Diario, Day 26: Dr Voodoo, Lazarus and evil Gus Parker
Nick Harper swats up on the dark arts ahead of Tuesday's first World Cup semi-final in Belo Horizonte...
Good morning, dear reader, and welcome to the first of two exceptional looking World Cup semi-finals; Brazil the hosts against Germany the Germans, live from Belo Horizonte and beamed to your living room at 9pm BST. The countdown starts here, and let's kick things off with some breaking team news.
And it seems that in the absence of Neymar, Brazil's hopes now rest on the shoulders of Helio Sillman. It's not a like-for-like replacement, granted, for while Neymar is a classic goalscoring number 10, the boy Sillman is a voodoo priest who sits in his shop making up spells. Desperate times, desperate measures.
Yesterday Señor Sillman announced his cunning plan to deal with Germany in tonight's encounter, and it's a plan of quite fiendish simplicity. "I'll take their top player and bind his legs so he can't run on the pitch," he said, or more likely cackled, possibly while sat beside a big cauldron.
Dr Voodoo has form for this kind of nonsense. Operating out of his shop, World of Orixas in Rio de Janeiro's northern neighbourhood of Madureira, he has cast a spell on every opponent Brazil has so far faced. In the quarter-finals he dropped a hex on James Rodriguez, and even though the Colombian scored, Brazil still prevailed, so clearly it worked.
To make the magic, Sillman takes a small box shaped like a football pitch, adds a few candles and a voodoo doll dressed in the colours of Brazil's opponents. "Those are the four teams that Brazil have overcome," he said yesterday, pointing to a basket containing shabby dolls wearing the colours of Brazil's previous victims. After spouting some inaudible mumbo-jumbo, and with a quick swish of his wand, the spell is apparently cast and the sinister, Gus Parker-esque plot set in motion.
We can only guess which German he's targeted, because "their top player" is all Sillman divulged. That obviously rules out Mesut Ozil but after that it's anyone's guess, although in truth it shouldn't be too taxing to spot a man whose legs have been tied together.
Of course it should never have come to this. Brazil shouldn't be relying on the dark arts of a crazy shaman to keep them in these finals, but the hosts are in need of all the help they can get. All the more so given that (genuine team news right here!) Thiago Silva's appeal against his one-match suspension was laughed out of FIFA HQ yesterday, and that's as big a blow as the Neymar nobbling.
There was a whisper that Neymar may yet make a miraculous, Lazarus-like recovery. Rumour had it that with some alternative treatments, painkilling injections and a stout corset, Brazil's boy wonder may somehow be fit enough to play in Sunday's World Cup final! Assuming Brazil somehow got there.
Earlier in the day, Brazil's opportunist president had spoken of Neymar being a "great warrior" and a man "who will never let himself be held back even when wounded". He's far too spindly to be a warrior, and the suggestion that a man who feared he'd lost the use of his legs could play again within a week, and in the biggest game in all football, well it seemed way too far-fetched to believe!
And that's because it was.
"Let's not create an illusion to the Brazilian people," announced the official Brazil team doctor José Luiz Runco, quick to nip this one in the bud. "There isn't the smallest possibility for Neymar to play on July 13 if Brazil reaches the final."
And that was that. All hope was extinguished.
Brazil's sense of dread is not just because Neymar's boots will be filled by Bernard (or more likely Willian if he shakes off a training ground injury he picked up on Sunday). It's more because they face a German team who have slowly become as powerfully efficient and stereotypically German as we all expected them to be.
According to one latest ranking of the four teams left, the Germans have jumped from fourth on the FIFA Power list to take top spot, with Brazil down from first to third, Argentina now second (despite everything), and the Dutch in fourth. That's all very unscientific, but you can't avoid the feeling that they are finding some form at just the right moment.
The German squad spent Day 26 doing efficient exercises and sewing seeds in the referee's mind ahead of tonight's filthy battle. "I am all for healthy hardness," announced Bastian Schweinsteiger, with a phrase that may have lost something to translation. "But some of Brazil's fouls [against Colombia] were over the limit. We have to be careful, and so does the referee."
The referee? Ah yes, your whistle blower for tonight's game will be Marco Rodrîguez, the Mexican official known as 'Chiquidrácula' because of his uncanny resemblance to Count Dracula. The great irony of that nickname is that he was also the referee who managed to miss The Suarez Bite during the Italy-Uruguay game, and that hopeless myopia should give Brazil some hope.
If tying the Germans' legs together doesn't work, then sucking their blood surely will.
All in all, it should make for fascinating viewing. Enjoy the game.
A small footnote: Ahead of the other semi-final, taking place tomorrow, both Argentina and Holland spent Day 26 trotting gently around a football pitch and doing light lunges. Come back tomorrow for more details.

Is that for real? This sounds very scary. I have read from an article that voodoo priests can help whether you want to cast powerful voodoo love spells or you need help to avoid going to prison. Voodoo is known to be the best magic of psychic arts. They are said to be spell caster who can assist you with love spells, dream interpretation, etc.
Further expert analysis came from student-turned-Twitter pundit Simon Larson, who used his years of training in Albanian-Serbian relations to say: "Both countries should be thrown out of UEFA. That would teach them a lesson and ensure something like this never happened again.

A young painter, indulging a vein of pleasantry, sketched a kind of conversation piece, representing a bear, an owl, Michael Kors wallets a monkey, and an ass; and to render it more striking, humorous, and moral, distinguished every Louis Vuitton wallets figure by some emblem of human life. Bruin was exhibited in the garb and attitude of Michael Kors outlet online sale an old, toothless, drunken soldier; the owl perched upon the handle of a coffee-pot, with spectacle oakley store on nose, seemed to contemplate a newspaper; and the ass, ornamented with a huge tie-wig (which, Michael Kors crossbody handbags however, could not conceal his long ears), sat for his picture to the monkey, who appeared ## email@example.com with the implements of painting. This whimsical group afforded some mirth, and met with general approbation, oakley outlet store until some mischievous wag hinted that the whole �� was a lampoon upon the friends of Michael Kors store the performer; an insinuation which was no sooner circulated than those very people who applauded it prada outlet online before began to be alarmed, and even to fancy themselves signified by the several figures of Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags the piece.
Among others, a worthy personage in years, who had served in the army with reputation, louis vuitton outlet being incensed at the Supposed outrage, repaired to the lodging of the painter, and finding him Louis Vuitton at home, ��Hark ye, Mr. Monkey,�� said he, ��I have a good mind to convince you, new balance outlet that though the bear has lost his teeth, he retains his paws, and that he is prada outlet not so drunk but he can perceive your impertinence.�� ��Sblood! sir, that toothless jaw is a michael kors crossbody bags d �� ned scandalous libel �� but don��t yon imagine me so chopfallen as not to michael kors handbags be able to chew the cud of resentment.�� Here he was interrupted by the arrival of http://www.louisvuittonoutletsyear.com a learned physician, who, advancing to the culprit with fury in his aspect, exclaimed, ��Suppose the Louis Vuitton Sale augmentation of the ass��s ears should prove the diminution of the baboon��s �� nay, seek not Michael Kors outlet clearance to prevaricate, for, by the beard of Aesculapius! there is not one hair in this periwig Louis Vuitton Outlet that will not stand up in judgment to convict thee of personal abuse. Do but observe, oakley outlet on sale captain, how this pitiful little fellow has copied the very curls-the colour, indeed, is different, but louis vuitton store 2015 then the form and foretop are quite similar.�� While he thus remonstrated in a strain of Michael Kors handbags outlet stores vociferation, a venerable senator entered, and waddling up to the delinquent, ��Jackanapes!�� cried he, ��I will offical michael kors outlet clearance now let thee see I can read something else than a newspaper, and that without the Michael Kors bags help of spectacles: here is your own note of hand, sirrah, for money, which if I Louis Vuitton Bags had not advanced, you yourself would have resembled an owl, in not daring to show your cheap Michael Kors bags usa face by day, you ungrateful slanderous knave!��
In vain the astonished painter declared that he had no oakley outlet online intention to give offence, or to characterise particular persons: they affirmed the resemblance was too palpable Louis Vuitton outlet to be overlooked; they taxed him with insolence, malice, and ingratitude; and their clamours being overheard louis vuitton handbags by the public, the captain was a bear, the doctor an ass, and the senator an cheap oakley sunglasses owl, to his dying day.
Christian reader, I beseech thee, in the bowels of the Lord, remember LV Purses this example ��while thou art employed in the perusal of the following sheets; and seek not Michael Kors outlet sale to appropriate to thyself that which equally belongs to five hundred different people. If thou shouldst Michael Kors outlet store meet with a character that reflects thee in some ungracious particular, keep thy own counsel; consider find cheap michael kors bag that one feature makes not a face, and that though thou art, perhaps, distinguished by a Louis Vuitton Outlet Stores bottle nose, twenty of thy neighbours may be in the same predicament.��Of all kinds of satire, louis vuitton luggage there is none so entertaining and universally improving, as that which is introduced, as it were louis vuitton handbags occasionally, in the course of an interesting story, which brings every incident home to life, and Michael Kors handbags sale by representing familiar scenes in an uncommon and amusing point of view, invests them with all http://www.chevrecakes.com the graces of novelty, while nature is appealed to in every particular. The reader gratifies his http://www.cheaplvbags-top.net curiosity in pursuing the adventures of a person in whose favour he is prepossessed; he espouses michael kors handbags wholesale his cause, he sympathises with him in his distress, his indignation is heated against the authors Louis Vuitton Outlet stores of his calamity: the humane passions are inflamed; the contrast between dejected virtue and insulting vice cheaps michael kors wallets appears with greater aggravation, and every impression having a double force on the imagination, the memory gucci bags retains the circumstance, and the heart improves by the example. The attention is not tired with Michael Kors bags on sale a bare catalogue of characters, but agreeably diverted with all the variety of invention; and the Michael Kors outlet stores vicissitudes of life appear in their peculiar circumstances, opening an ample field for wit and humour.
Romance, Louis Vuitton Outlet Online no doubt, owes its origin to ignorance, vanity, and superstition. In the dark ages of the new balance factory store World, when a man had rendered himself famous for wisdom or valour, his family and adherents prada online outlet availed themselves of his superior qualities, magnified his virtues, and represented his character and person as oakley sunglasses wholesale sacred and supernatural. The vulgar easily swallowed the bait, implored his protection, and yielded the tribute of homage and praise, even to adoration; his exploits were handed down to posterity with a thousand exaggerations; they were repeated as incitements to virtue; divine honours were paid, and altars erected to his memory, for the encouragement of those who cheap louis vuitton attempted to imitate his example; and hence arose the heathen mythology, which is no other than a collection of extravagant romances. As learning advanced, and genius received cultivation, these stories were embellished with the graces oakley sunglasses cheap of poetry, that they might the better recommend themselves to the attention; they were sung in chanel outlet online public, at festivals, for the instruction and delight of the audience; and rehearsed before battle, as http://www.louisvuitton-sunglassess.com incentives to deeds of glory. Thus tragedy and the epic muse were born, and, in the Michael Kors handbags on sale progress of taste, arrived at perfection. It is no wonder that the ancients could not relish chanel factory outlet store a fable in prose, after they had seen so many remarkable events celebrated in verse by gucci outlet their best poets; we therefore find no romance among them during the era of their excellence, gucci outlet 2014 unless the Cyropaedia of Xenophon may be so called; and it was not till arts and Michael Kors purse outlet sciences began to revive after the irruption of the barbarians into Europe, that anything of this Michael Kors sandals kind appeared. But when the minds of men were debauched by the imposition of priestcraft to michael kors bags wholesale the most absurd pitch of credulity, the authors of romance arose, and losing sight of probability, Michael Kors Purses filled their performances with the most monstrous hyperboles. If they could not equal the ancient poets cheaps michael kors wallets in point of genius. they were resolved to excel them in fiction, and apply to the Louis Vuitton wonder, rather than the judgment, of their readers. Accordingly, they brought necromancy to their aid, and michael kors bags instead of supporting the character of their heroes by dignity of sentiment and practice, distinguished them http://www.michaelkorssatchelbagoutlets.com by their bodily strength, activity, and extravagance of behaviour. Although nothing could be more ludicrous and http://www.louisvuitton-lvoutlet.net unnatural than the figures they drew, they did not want patrons and admirers; and the world discount oakley sunglasses actually began to be infected with the spirit of knight-errantry, when Cervantes, by an inimitable piece Louis Vuitton Purses of ridicule, reformed the taste of mankind, representing chivalry in the right point of view, and http://www.michaelkors-crossbodybag.com converting romance to purposes far more useful and entertaining, by making it assume the sock, and oakley outlet sunglasses point out the follies of ordinary life.
The same method has been practised by other Spanish and Louis Vuitton purses French authors, and by none more successfully than by Monsieur Le Sage, who, in his Adventures LV handbags of Gil Blas, has described the knavery and foibles of life, with infinite humour and sagacity. Michael Kors outlet The following sheets I have modelled on his plan, taking me liberty, however, to differ from chanel bags him in the execution, where I thought his particular situations were uncommon, extravagant, or peculiar to Louis Vuitton Outlet Handbags the country in which the scene is laid. The disgraces of Gil Blas are, for the Louis Vuitton Handbags most part, such as rather excite mirth than compassion; he himself laughs at them; and his new balance factory outlet transitions from distress to happiness, or at least ease, are so sudden, that neither the reader new Louis Vuitton has time to pity him, nor himself to be acquainted with affliction. This conduct, in my Louis Vuitton bags opinion, not only deviates from probability, but prevents that generous indignation, which ought to animate the Michael Kors handbags outlet online store reader against the sordid and vicious disposition of the world. I have attempted to represent modest http://www.cheaplouisvuittonbagso.com merit struggling with every difficulty to which a friendless orphan is exposed, from his own want cheap Michael Kors outlet of experience, as well as from the selfishness, envy, malice, and base indifference of mankind. To http://www.louisvuitton-sunglassess.com secure a favourable prepossession, I have allowed him the advantages of birth and education, which in Michael Kors Outlet the series of his misfortunes will, I hope, engage the ingenuous more warmly in his behalf; Louis Vuitton Bags 2015 and though I foresee, that some people will be offended at the mean scenes in which michael kors he is involved, I persuade myself that the judicious will not only perceive the necessity of Louis Vuitton Handbags outlet describing those situations to which he must of course be confined, in his low estate, but http://www.michaelkorsoutlets-mk.com also find entertainment in viewing those parts of life, where the humours and passions are undisguised LV Bags by affectation, ceremony, or education; and the whimsical peculiarities of disposition appear as nature has implanted Louis Vuitton Outlet online them. But I believe I need not trouble myself in vindicating a practice authorized by the michael kors outlet online sale best writers in this way, some of whom I have already named

If you had doubts about this Hokie team because of a soft schedule after five games, Tech should have made you a believer tonight. Virginia Tech picked up its third win in eight tries in the ACC/Big(14)Ten Challenge, all against iowa, with a 95-79 win at the Cassell, narrowly missing their first Jon King Bear Fight of the season.
The Hokies exploded late in the first half and early in the second half to go on a 19-1 run to turn a 37-36 deficit into a 55-38 lead. The hawkeyes promptly went on a 14-0 run of their own to make it a nervous 55-52 game. But Tech kept battling and got the lead back up to double digits. After VT went ahead 78-68 with 5:53 to go on a JvZ dunk, iowa never got back within single digits and Tech even lead by as many as 21 points before the hawkeyes salvaged the Bear Fight in garbage time.
Erick Green had a huge game — Stop the presses! The senior, who leads the ACC in scoring, tallied 24 points – his sixth straight game over 20 points to start the season (the record is 9 by Bimbo Coles). Erick did see his consecutive free throw streak end at 37 straight though. He was 8/9 tonight from the stripe and 8/15 from the floor.
Robert Brown also had a big game, scoring 18 on 6/8 shooting and 5/5 from the line (he was 57% coming in). Brown was one point from his career high of 19, which came against Monmouth last year.
Jarell Eddie, who was 9/10 on 3s in his last two games, was just 1/4 from deep and 4/11 from the field, but did add 11 points and 7 rebounds.
The player of the game might have been C.J. Barksdale. The sophomore had really struggled on offense coming in but picked up 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. He has put together a couple of solid games in a row.
Joey van Zegeren (aka: Stone Hands) easily surpassed his previous career high of 6 points with 10 points tonight.
Tech, who I thought would be dominated on the glass, actually had 9 offensive rebounds to just 8 for iowa. But the bigger deal was second chance points; VT had a 13-2 advantage there.
The Hokies also were +12 from the foul line, shooting an amazing 27/30 (90%) while iowa was just 13/18. Tech also had a 17-8 advantage on fast break points, as you'd expect against the slower hawkeyes. I expected Tech would win on the break, but winning on the glass and getting to the line is why the Hokies won easily.
VT was just 4/15 from deep (27%) but held iowa to 4/22 from behind the arc (18%).
The Hokies return to action on Saturday at 2 p.m. against a very good oklahoma state team at the Cassell. I know, I know, it's the fourth time we've played the cowboys in three years, and we've won all three, but let's go for the golden sombrero!

THE PROBLEM of intestinal obstruction in infants and children presents a definite challenge to the medical profession. In recent years there has been an encouraging decrease in the mortality rate owing to (1) the ability of family physicians and pediatricians to recognize various types of obstruction early, (2) the surgeon's willingness to operate without delay, (3) a better understanding of fluid, electrolyte and blood volume balance and (4) present day refinements in anesthesia. Nevertheless, the statistics from hospitals having large numbers of patients treated by men who specialize exclusively in pediatric surgery prove that intestinal obstruction in youngsters continues to be a serious surgical emergency even under ideal conditions. Thus the challenge becomes even greater, demanding the best possible skill and judgment of pediatricians, general practitioners, radiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and all who may be called on to attend these young patients at the home, office or hospital.

Woman raped during home invasion in Rockledge
Attack occurred April 3
Police are investigating the rape of a Rockledge woman during a home invasion early this month.
Officials said they were called to a hospital on April 5 in reference to the sexual battery of a woman.
The victim said the incident occurred two days earlier at her home near Fiske Boulevard.
Investigators said the victim described her attackers as a heavy-set black man, standing 6 feet tall, wearing black pants and a long-sleeved black shirt.
Authorities were able to develop a composite picture of the suspect, but note that the picture does not depict the suspect being as heavy-set as it should.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

AUGUSTA – Columbia native Dustin Johnson has a long game suited for Augusta National but hasn't finished better than 30th at the Masters and couldn't make up ground today.
Johnson, briefly the leader Friday, shot a third-round 74 with five bogeys. He goes into Sunday's final round 1 over par.
"I played pretty good," Johnson said, "I just didn't make any putts."
Friday's double-bogeys on the par 5 No. 15 hole and par 4 No. 18 sent Johnson crashing down the leaderboard. He seized the lead at 7 under par through 13 holes.
"I wasn't really mad," Johnson said of his collapse. "I was a little frustrated. I was more frustrated on the missed putt on 17, about a 3-footer and then the double on 18 after being in a pretty good position off the tee – that kind of hurt a little bit. But other than that, the wind was playing tough (Friday) and I played pretty good except for the last five holes."
Johnson, 28, played at Coastal Carolina. He lives in Myrtle Beach.
Putting woes for Glover
Unlike Thursday and Friday, Lucas Glover made it through the 17th and 18th holes today at Augusta National without stumbling. But more Masters putting trouble and three straight bogeys (holes No. 14-16) turned a potentially good round into a so-so 73.
Glover, a former Clemson All-American and the 2009 U.S. Open champion, shot 74 both Thursday and Friday and is 5 over par.
"I hit it better than my score and probably putted like I shot 80," said Glover, who has 99 putts for the tournament. "I'll try and figure it out."
"Yes and no," Glover said. "The upside is, I'm hitting it good. The downside is, I keep putting bad and it makes it suck even more. You'd almost rather hit it bad, putt it bad, shoot 78 and not have to worry about it."
Glover said he is working on putting with coaches Dave Stockton and Dave Stockton Jr.
"I'm the best range putter out there," Glover said. "Then I can't make them (in tournaments)."
Haas at 1 over
Greenville's Bill Haas shot a 74 today after a 71-72 start. A double-bogey on the par 3 No. 5 messed up an otherwise steady round.

You could feel like strengthening your body through various forms of exercise today. By being present in your body, you may find it easier to work on establishing a deeper body-mind connection. Perhaps you can try some form of exercise such as yoga, tai chi, or dance that connects you to your spirit today. While moving your body, you may want to notice what thoughts come up for you and how those thoughts impact you physically. If self-defeating thoughts arise for example, mentally scan your body to see where it holds tension. This tightness is your thought pattern manifesting itself physically. You can then breathe into that area and release the physical tension, which will help change your thought pattern. Learning to use your body in this way can bring you a greater sense of awareness about the connection between your thoughts and your physical sensations.
Our bodies hold the key to understanding our emotional and psychological patterns. In our busy lives we tend to ignore our bodies and overlook the role they have in our lives. The bodily feelings we have, however, give our minds a tangible anchor to hold onto what we can use to become more attuned to what is happening to us on a deeper subconscious level. The more we become present to our bodies, the more able we are to connect to these thoughts and feelings and use our breath and various yoga poses and exercise to release them. By strengthening your body-mind connection today, you will attain a higher level of health and mental well-being.

CHICAGO -- The Detroit Tigers played their first game since Saturday. They won their first game since Friday. And they did it in dramatic fashion.
Bryan Holaday knocked in the winning run with a two-out bunt single in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday night as the Detroit Tigers pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
With the count 1-1, Holaday laid down a nice bunt toward third base and Jackson took off for home. Belisario fielded the ball near the foul line, turned and gunned toward first base, but Holaday reached safely for an RBI bunt single.
Justin Verlander allowed three runs in the third inning but was effective throughout the rest of his seven innings. He left the game after seven innings with the score tied at 3-3.
The game was delayed for 21 minutes during the first inning and was played during steady rain at times. The Tigers were coming off back-to-back off days after their game Sunday in Minnesota against the Twins was rained out. Monday was a scheduled off day for the team.
Tigers' highlights
-- The Tigers broke through for their first run of the game in the fourth inning. Ian Kinsler led off with a single, went to second on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Victor Martinez. That cut the Tigers' deficit to 3-1.
-- The Tigers tied the game on four consecutive two-out singles by Miguel Cabrera, Martinez, Torii Hunter and Austin Jackson in the top of the sixth. That made it 3-3.
-- Hunter extended his hitting streak to seven games. He is 7 for 13 with three RBIs on the team's current road trip after going 1 for 4 with three strikeouts Tuesday night. Jackson extended his hitting streak to six games.
-- Verlander got himself out of a jam in the seventh inning after surrendering a one-out triple to Alejandro De Aza. Verlander walked Tyler Flowers, but then struck out Marcus Semien and Adam Eaton to get out of the inning. After Eaton swung and missed badly at a 1-2 curveball from Verlander, he smacked the end of his bat into the ground then broke it over his knee before heading out to the field.
Tigers' lowlights
-- Five of the first six outs White Sox starter Jose Quintana recorded came on strikeouts. He struck out the first two batters he faced, then struck out the side in order in the second despite the extra long break between innings for Quintana that was brought on by a rain delay.
-- None of the first White Sox batters to stand in against Verlander had a hit. But four of the next five did as the White Sox put together a three-run rally in the third to take a 3-0 lead. Adam Eaton and Adam Dunn each had an RBI double in the third, while Gordon Beckham had an RBI single.
-- Rajai Davis entered the game hitting .471 (8 for 17) with a home run in his career against Quintana. He struck out in all three at-bats against Quintana in this one, then struck out for a fourth time in the game in the seventh inning while facing relief pitcher Jacob Petricka.
Game notes
-- Except for a string of four consecutive singles in the sixth inning, the Tigers failed to do much against Quintana, who scattered eight hits, struck out 10 and did not issue a walk in six innings of work.
-- The pitching line for Verlander: 7IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 4SO.
-- Joba Chamberlain earned the win in relief of Verlander.
-- Verlander was just completing his pregame warmup pitches prior to the bottom of the first inning when the delay began.

Duke Raleigh Hospital Named Healthy Workplace for Nurses
The North Carolina Nurses Association (NCNA) named Duke Raleigh Hospital a second-time recipient of its Hallmarks of Healthy Workplaces award in recognition for creating a positive work environment for registered nurses. A special project of NCNA and a result of a Duke Endowment grant, the Hallmarks of Healthy Workplaces program is designed to recognize exceptional workplaces for nurses and to help health care providers create workplaces in which communication flows freely and nurses contribute actively to facility governance.
Duke Raleigh was the first hospital to receive Hallmarks recognition in 2006. Since the initial award, the hospital has paved the path for several North Carolina facilities to achieve recognition.
"We are delighted that Duke Raleigh Hospital has been re-designated as a North Carolina Hallmarks of a Healthy Workplaces Hospital," said Rosemary Brown Chief Nursing Officer. "Since our initial award in 2006 we have continued to strive for a work environment that supports our nursing staff with the resources necessary so that they can provide extraordinary care. Our 2009 application and on site survey confirmed that our nursing staff report high satisfaction with the organizations support in the areas of leadership, professional development, empowerment, safety and quality."
The awards will be presented at an August 7 awards ceremony. Recognition is based on three basic criteria: support of nursing professional development, system support for nurses to provide quality service, and integration of nursing into operations and governance.
Workplaces also receiving this award include: Carolinas Medical Center's Infusion Center, Carolinas Medical Center - University's Intensive Care/Progressive Care Unit (ICU/PCU), Carolinas Medical Center – Mercy's Kidney Dialysis Unit (KDU) and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), and Randolph Hospital. The James E. Davis Ambulatory Surgical Center also successfully renewed its Hallmarks status.

Despite apparent widespread support,1- 12 the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)—a program that provides health insurance for millions of near-poor children—was not reauthorized in 2007.13- 15 At a time when many states were considering SCHIP a pivotal piece of larger plans to achieve universal health insurance coverage for children,14 two 5-year SCHIP reauthorization bills, HR 97616 and the final 2007 proposal HR 3963,17 were passed by Congress and sent to the president in 200718 (an earlier bill, HR 3162,19 that was more expansive than either of these passed the House of Representatives but was never voted on by the Senate). Both were vetoed, and neither veto override was successful. At the eleventh hour (December 2007), a short-term extension of SCHIP was approved instead of a 5-year reauthorization. This law, S 2499/Pub L 110-173,20,21 extended SCHIP only through March 2009. It included funds to address short-term SCHIP budget shortfalls but did not include policy changes to address key controversial issues.22 It was therefore a short-term solution and now requires that SCHIP be revisited soon if the program is to be maintained, let alone expanded. The last congressional proposal of 2007 (HR 3963) and the short-term extension law (S 2499/Pub L 110-173) are described in the Table.

Curhan et al1 report an increased risk of hypertension with use of NSAIDs in younger women based on an analysis of data collected from participants in the Nurses' Health Study II. Our experience in a recently completed double-blind randomized controlled trial of NSAID therapy for Alzheimer disease (unpublished data, 2003) provides evidence of risk of hypertension in older individuals.
In the trial, 351 individuals (mean age, 74 years; 53% women) with probable Alzheimer disease were randomly assigned to receive rofecoxib, 25 mg by mouth daily; naproxen sodium, 220 mg by mouth twice daily; or placebo for 1 year. Enrollment criteria required that subjects be medically stable. A history of hypertension was recorded for 115 subjects (33%); these subjects were balanced across the treatment groups. Mean ± SD systolic blood pressure at study entry was 134 ± 16 mm Hg and mean ± SD diastolic blood pressure was 75 ± 10 mm Hg, with no difference across treatment groups. Study visits were conducted at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after enrollment, with interval history, physical examination, and laboratory studies obtained at each visit. Any significant change in symptoms, physical examination findings, or laboratory values noted during or between study visits was captured as an adverse event.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tomas Vokoun will miss 3-6 months while undergoing treatment for blood clots.
``I'm just in the beginning of this road,'' Vokoun said. ``Obviously all kinds of things cross your mind. Right now I'm not thinking about my career or, you know, playing hockey. I'm more worried about long-term health.''
This is the second time in Vokoun's career he's been sidelined by the condition. He missed extensive time while playing for Nashville in 2006 with a similar issue, but says the two injuries are not related. Vokoun will be able to train as usual but can't play because of the blood-thinning medication he must take during his recovery.
Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero believes Vokoun is doing ``great'' both physically and mentally, and he is far less concerned with how Vokoun's absence will affect the Stanley Cup-contending Penguins than about the player he's known for the better part of a decade.
``It's going to be whatever is best for him and his safety and the good thing for him is he can lead his active life, do the things he does, work out, play tennis or whatever,'' Shero said. ``We'll see where it goes and hope for the best in the short term or the long term.''
Vokoun helped the Penguins reach the Eastern Conference finals last season. Taking over in the first round for struggling Marc-Andre Fleury, Vokoun went 6-5 with a 2.01 goals against average and a sterling .933 save percentage. Coach Dan Bylsma called Vokoun and Fleury the best tandem in the NHL when training camp opened last month.
Now Jeff Zatkoff will serve as Fleury's primary backup when the Penguins open the season Thursday against New Jersey. The 26-year-old Zatkoff went 26-20 with a 1.93 GAA for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL in 2012-13.
``We're going to give Jeff that opportunity, which I think he deserves, and we'll see how he goes,'' Shero said.

Norman Corwin at his 99th birthday celebration, presented by California Artists Radio Theatre. Photo by Enci Box
On May 3, Norman Corwin will celebrate his 100th birthday. Corwin, who has been called "radio's poet laureate" is the author of such radio productions as We Hold These Truths (broadcast Dec. 15, 1941 on all four radio networks to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Bill of Rights (and airing just eight days after Pearl Harbor)); On a Note of Triumph (broadcast on CBS May 13, 1945, following VE Day, the end of hostilities in Europe in World War II); and Columbia Presents Corwin: Fourteen August (broadcast on CBS Aug. 14, 1945 following VJ Day and allied victory over Japan).
(A 1991 revision of We Hold These Truths, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the bill of rights, won Corwin a international gold medal, according to Anthony Tollin in the program booklet for the Radio Spirits collection "the 60 Greatest Old-Time Radio Shows of the 20th Century.")
Not all of Corwin's work focused on World War II, however. His Odyssey of Runyon Jones, broadcast June 8, 1941 as the 6th of Twenty Six by Corwin, concerns a young boy who visits various personages (including Father Time, Mother Nature, a giant, and the board members of "Curgatory") in an attempt to be reunited with his dog, who was run over by a car. His Plot to Overthrow Christmas, broadcast Dec. 25, 1938 on Corwin's Words Without Music, tells, entirely in verse, of efforts by various personages in Hell (Nero, Haman, Caligula, Medusa, Ivan the Terrible and the devil, to name a few ) to defeat Santa and Christmas. According to Tollin, Edward R. Murrow compared it with the best of Gilbert and Sullivan.
The scripts for both of these plays are among those included in Corwin's 1942 book, Thirteen by Corwin. In his preface to that book Carl Van Doren wrote that Corwin "is to American Radio what Marlowe was to the Elizabethan stage."
Corwin's "Undecided Molecule", broadcast July 17, 1945, was, according to the narration, "a rhyme fantasy concerning dangerous developments among the elements."
His "Citizen of the World", broadcast July 10, 1949 on CBS, concerns people around the world both well known and not so well known who (in the words of narrator Lee J. Cobb) were concerned with "doing something to make life healthier and happier in the world in which they are citizens." The program also promoted the efforts of the then-new United Nations, with comments by people as varied as Ralph Bunche and Admiral Chester Nimitz.
Corwin was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1993. According to the Norman Corwin page of the Radio Hall of Fame website, http://www.radiohof.org/adventuredrama/normancorwin.html, in 2001, National Public Radio aired six new Corwin plays under the title More by Corwin.
Among writers who acknowledge Corwin as an influence are J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5, who named the character of Lt. Corwin for Corwin. In a 1994 post praising Corwin, on the online service GENIE, http://www.jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-8952&query=Norman Corwin Straczynski not only talks about Corwin's importance, but also recommends the book 13 For Corwin, with essays by a variety of writers, including Ray Bradbury, Studs Terkel, and Charles Kuralt.
In 1946, Corwin wrote about his travels to 17 countries. Never before published, these thoughts and reflections are being collected in book form as Norman Corwin's One World Flight. The book is due out in September.
Corwin is being honored on his centennial by the Writers Guild of America in Los Angeles on May 1, with members of the California Artists Radio Theatre to present live performances of two of Corwin's plays: "Mary and the Fairy" and "Our Lady of the Freedoms."
For anyone who might happen to be in the area that day, more information can be found at http://cartaudio.org/boxoffice_CART.htm.
But if you're not going to be in the Los Angeles area on May 1, the Chicago-based radio show "Those Were The Days" will broadcast Corwin's plays "The Odyssey of Runyon Jones", "We Hold These Truths", "The Undecided Molecule", and "On a Note of Triumph" on that day. "Those Were the Days" airs from 1- 5 p.m., central time, and can be heard on the web at www.wdcb.org.
Also the spring issue of The Nostalgia Digest Magazine, published by "Those Were the Days" host Steve Darnall, will feature an interview with Corwin and an excerpt from Norman Corwin's One World Flight. For more information about the magazine, including where to buy it in metro Detroit, visit http://www.nostalgiadigest.com/nostalgiadigest.html
Happy birthday, Mr. Corwin.
