As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Santaris Pharma said today it will resume full ownership of all rights, data, products, and intellectual properties relating to the locked nucleic acid (LNA) drug platform and drug discovery engine, a week after agreeing with partner Enzon Pharmaceutical to end a seven-year-old cancer drug collaboration that could have netted Santaris more than $200 million.
"We have been very pleased with the collaboration and are excited to resume full ownership of these important cancer programs, of which several are under clinical development." Henrik Stage, Santaris' president and CEO, said in a statement.
Under a worldwide-except-Europe development and commercialization license from Santaris, Enzon has developed several LNA-based messenger RNA (mRNA) antagonists to inhibit transcription factors or molecules that rely on protein-protein interaction to drive tumor growth, and are considered difficult to drug. Enzon said the LNA-based oligonucleotides had demonstrated that they can downregulate the target and inhibit tumor growth in preclinical models, thus warranting clinical study. The mRNA antagonists target hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), survivin, androgen receptor (AR), and additional preclinical targets.
As part of the termination, Enzon agreed to revert LNA rights back to Santaris, and pay Santaris an undisclosed amount of money, while both companies agreed to release all claims against the other in connection with their old license and collaboration agreement, as indicated by Enzon in an October 21 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
A day after the companies agreed to the termination, according to the filing, a director of Enzon's board resigned. Thomas F. Deuel's resignation "was not, to the knowledge of the Company's executive officers, due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices."
The termination came nearly a year after Enzon "substantially" suspended all clinical development activities and launched a review of a possible sale, just days after activist investor Carl Icahn, who at the time held a 13% stake in the company, sought to speak with the company about its operations. In December 2012 the company's board retained Lazard Frères to carry out the review, with a goal of conserving capital and maximizing value returned to the company's stockholders.
As part of that review, Enzon sought to sell for $100,000 its interest in the LNA technology to Belrose Pharma—to which Enzon sold all interests in its customized PEGylation linker technology platform and related assets for $700,000. However, the LNA interests sale fell through when "the conditions to the second closing were not satisfied," Enzon disclosed in its August 6 Form 10-Q filing for the second quarter.
Enzon placed itself and its assets for sale following three years that included the departure of a CEO, a clinical setback, and job cuts. The company thought it would succeed by refocusing on pipeline drugs, royalty income, and platform technologies when it sold its specialty pharmaceuticals business—including four marketed products and an Indianapolis manufacturing plant—to sigma-tau Group in 2009 for up to $327 million. Instead, Enzon cut jobs following royalty losses in 2010 and 2011, and halted development of the experimental drug PEG-SN38 for metastatic colorectal cancer generate after weak Phase II results, though the compound later showed promise for metastatic breast cancer.

Big-time college coaches need to understand, if they don't already, that they are judged by much more than wins and losses.
Consider the recent fate of two coaches: Alabama head football coach Mike Price and Iowa State head men's basketball coach Larry Eustachy.
Alabama officials fired Price for showing up in a strip club and for allowing a woman - who is not his wife - to run up a $1,000 hotel room service tab.
Eustachy quit his Iowa State job after it was revealed that he partied a little too exuberantly with college co-eds, some of whom he reportedly was kissing during a campus party. Eustachy's departure was galling, though, in one respect: Iowa State gave him nearly a million bucks to hit the road. Talk about a golden parachute.
Both of these men are married. They have children. They supposedly are "role models" for the young men they are charged with guiding on the field of competition. Both men were compensated handsomely for their duties.
They both have set terrible examples. Rather than being positive role models, they have become laughingstocks. And why? Because they couldn't comport themselves in a manner befitting their lofty positions in their respective communities.
The job description of college coaches includes that of "teacher." Do we want individuals to be responsible for our young people when they cannot exercise good judgment regarding their own behavior?
Price and Eustachy have some explaining to do within their own lives. They deserve the chance to straighten themselves out and make peace within their own families. They don't deserve to be high-profile college coaches.
The coaching world is full of people who know how to behave themselves in public as ambassadors for their publicly funded employers.

This song by Moscow-based musician Jekka shows what you can do with just a laptop, a microKORG and some talent. Layers of looped vocal samples and a full-blooded synth bass combine to provide a platform for Jekka's powerful, dynamic vocal melody. It's a bold and energetic style that draws favourable comparisons with the excellent Tune-Yards album of last year.

It was at an apple orchard in upstate New York. That it hit me.
My children are growing up, and running away from me. See them in the picture?
I know. You hardly can. Me either. On account of all the running away going on.
What is it they say – the days go slowly, but the years fly by? I don't know. It might be the other way around. It all makes my brain hurt. Like turning the clocks here and turning the clocks there. Fall back. Spring ahead. What does it all mean? I do not know. I do not want to know. Just wake me up before you go-go.
I suddenly want to bind their feet. And leave out the most important ingredient in a few of my son's favorite recipes so that his future wife can't make it just-like-mom. And other stuff that is not a source of personal pride for me.
There's only one reasonable thing to do. I shall bake for them. I shall bake early, and I shall bake often. It shall be fragrant, and comforting. Warm and cozy. Get-in-my-belly. Like apple desserts. Like Apple Crisp.
My children prefer what I cook and bake to almost anything else, almost every single time. Would it be wrong to delight in that? 'Cause I totally don't do that. Since I suspect it would be wrong. Except that I do. But I'll deny it. Since it's not right.
I took these 3 children of mine apple picking. With my husband. And my dear friend, and her two adorable & younger-than-mine children. So young are her children that they still smell like flowers. And honey. Flowers and honey. That's what they smell like. Forget the apples, I'll stick with the flowers and the honey. Then we came home, and I made pizza for everyone. And apple crisp. They ooooh'd and ahhhhh'd. They thank-you-mom'd. It was so soft and warm, and smelled like love.
If you want to live in your family's hearts forever, I suggest apple crisp. It comes together in a flash, since it's nearly as easy as making apple sauce, and the active time is even less.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then toss them with cinnamon-sugar. Mix up the topping (no electric mixer needed at all), smooth it on top with wet hands, and bake it. That's it.
This recipe for apple crisp was on the blog before quite a long time ago. It even made its way into the cookbook. But the picture on the blog recipe was terrible. And the recipe isn't printer-friendly. I finally got around to taking some proper pictures, so I thought I'd share it again here.
|Apple Crisp, Again
- 5 to 6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly (Empire are my favorite, but any baking apple will work)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar divided, plus more for dusting
- 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, divided
- 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour (I use Better Batter)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if using Better Batter)
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oats (can be replaced by an additional 1/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour)
- 1 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or slivered toasted almonds (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with unsalted butter and set it aside.
- To make the filling, combine the apples, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a medium-sized bowl, and stir the combine well. Place the apple mixture in the prepared pie plate, piled toward the middle of the plate.
- To make the topping, in a large bowl, blend the butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla and blend well. Add the flour, xanthan gum, and oats, and beat the batter well until it becomes thicker and a bit more elastic. Add the (optional) nuts, and stir to distribute them evenly through the dough. The mixture should be very thick. Cover the apples with the topping, spreading it evenly with wet hands. Cover the pie plate with foil, place it in the center of the preheated oven, and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the topping is lightly golden brown. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and sugar while still hot from the oven.
- Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving. Serve warm.
Bean flour blends are not true all-purpose gluten-free flours, and should be avoided.
Pamela's baking mix and Pamela's bread mix are multi-ingredient blends, and not intended to be all-purpose gluten-free flours. They are not appropriate for this recipe, or any other recipe that calls for all-purpose gluten-free flour.
If you bake this for your family, they will love you. Like I love you.
What is your favorite way to use apples during apple season?

Where I stayed
Members of our tour group were spread around the room. They seemed to be a pretty good group. It looked like they were trying to be conscious of the wardrobe expectations. Shorts and sleeveless attire is not acceptable. It is best to wear loose fitting clothes that cover the shoulders and the knees. From talking with some of those from our group it seems that most everyone on the tour has done quite a bit of traveling. I guess that India does take a little bit of experience.
We boarded the bus for our adventure in Delhi. My nose pressed to the window of the bus as we headed out into the city. India is impossible to explain. There is excitement and energy in the mist of the hardship and poverty. There is a lot of construction going on for the Common Wealth Games and farmers from the outlying areas have come in to make extra money after their crops are harvested. They are living in makeshift tents along the road. The families are working in the heat and the dirt but the women still look beautiful in their colorful sari's carrying terracotta bowls on their heads. I have to be honest the trash along the road is startling but as an outsider I can only speculate at why it is that way. I've heard many of the people on the bus ask why don't they just clean it up. With socioeconomic conditions that we are unfamiliar with, we can't totally understand the conditions. First there is the stifling heat, the incredible population, and residual psychology from the caste system. When the caste system was the way of life anyone that handled trash was in the untouchable caste, the lowest of the low. How much does that have an effect?
Then you have to ask yourself, how much of an effect do we have. The United States — which generates three million tons of e-waste annually, the largest amount in the world — sends an estimated 50,000 tons of e-waste to India, about one-tenth of all the waste the country either receives or produces itself. What then happens to everything that isn't recycled? Those are facts that make me a little less judgmental.
I am fascinated by the amount of detail and artistry that is put into everything. There are brightly colored walls and hand lettered signs. All of the buses and dump trucks are colorfully painted with details of beads, metal and tassels.
Our first stop was Raj Ghat (Hindi: राज घाट) a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. As we walked up to the gate Amit told us with pride about the respect that they have for Gandhi. I shared with him that Gandhi is also revered in the United States. We had a short conversation about what the world might be like if we had Gandhi today. I felt inspired by the life of Gandhi and the peaceful rebellion he inspired. We headed up to the top of the wall that surrounds the memorial and viewed the black marble platform. The tourist, from India dressed in colorful saris, flowed in and viewed the memorial. We descended from the wall and removed our shoes before walking across the lawn to the memorial. The color of the orange marigolds reflected off of the black marble. The memorial marks the spot of Gandhi's cremation on 31 January 1948. It is left open to the sky while an burns perpetually at one end. It is located on the banks of the river Yamuna. The memorial has the epitaph Hē Ram, (literally 'O' Ram', but also translated to 'O God'), believed to be the last words uttered by Gandhi. Raj Ghat loosely translates to King's Bank (where King alludes to the importance of the place and Bank as in -on the bank of river Yamuna), though the river is no longer visible because the population growth has depleted and redirected the river.
After visiting the Mahatma Gandhi memorial we headed back to the bus. I occurred to me how pitifully soft we are. I was so grateful to be back in the air conditioning. Though our entire group was in the air-conditioning our driver and assistant on the bus were sealed in the front of the bus with only the hot breeze from outside to cool them. We are only hours in to our trip to India and I am already humbled.
We were greeted immediately as we got off of the bus by hawkers of all ages trying to sell us anything and everything. Most of them were fluent in English and the majority of them were turned away with a simple "no thank you" but there were some that continued to follow and try to sell you trinkets. Eventually I found that if I said "Your time would be better spent with someone else" that they would move on to someone else.
The first structure in our path was a vacant canopy. It seemed odd but we were to find out that originally, a Statue of King George V had stood under canopy and was removed to Coronation Park with other statues, following India's independence.
I guess I was a little prepared for this. This happened to us in China and in Egypt. There is a fine line though. In Egypt there might be someone that approaches you to volunteer to take a picture of you with your own camera or volunteer to pose for a picture that will want a tip afterwards. You have to use your six senses to try to figure out if it is a legitimate experience or not. If it is a grown man that is all by himself, most of the time he is looking to get a tip. Families usually are genuinely interested in an interaction.
After my brush with stardom we were running at the back of the pack to get to the bus. We didn't want to be "that couple" that the group was always waiting on, so we picked up the pace. So did the salesmen. They hovered around us with their rubber band helicopters and their postcards offering them at bargain basement prices for Costco Club quantities. The chanting of "5 for 100 rupees" "10 for 100 rupees" followed us onto the bus.
We drove through New Delhi viewing the Parliament house, the Presidents Palace and the Red Fort all the while being educated by Amit, our guide. The assistant on the bus kept us hydrated with water, lemonade, cokes and beer while our driver navigated the crazy Indian traffic. This is definitely one place in the world that I would not want to drive. We have seen some of the worst traffic in the world in Istanbul, Athens, and even Cairo but none of it compares to what we are seeing here.
We were dropped off in front of the Birla Temple or The Laxminarayan Temple (Hindi: श्री लक्ष्मीनारायण मन्दिर), also known as the Birla Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Laxminarayan. The temple is built in honour of Laxmi Hindu goddess of wealth
Again as we started to file off of the bus the salesmen were waiting for us. I swear some of them looked familiar. Were they following us from the India Gate? As we navigated through the trinkets and chants of "100 rupees" we entered through the security gate where our bags were inspected. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder and easy to get lost in, that much easier if you are only 2 and a half feet tall. Suddenly I felt a tug on my skirt and looked down to see that I had picked up a passenger. The young Indian girl clinging to my skirt stood unknowingly grasped firmly to the material. After a few moments she looked up horrified to see not her mother but a huge white giant peering innocently down at her. The look on her face was priceless as she immediately let go of my skirt, turned and ran up the steps to the smiling face of her mother. It brought laughs from Indians and Americans alike. I guess I am fitting in okay, at least from the knees down.
Especially in temples it is so important to me to show respect. Knowing so little about the religion sometimes sets me up for failure. Amit said that if we wanted we could go up and get a smudge from one of the priests. Since it was his suggestion I stood behind other Hindus and took just a bit of the red powder and dabbed a spot on my head. I hope that this showed my respect and interest in this very complex religion.
As Amit explained about the Dasa-Mahavidya "the one Truth is sensed in ten different facets; the Divine Mother is adored and approached as ten cosmic personalities," I was entranced. A woman with a well rounded personality. Now this was a goddess I could like.
In their strong associations with death, violence, ritual pollution, and despised marginal social roles, they call into question such normative social "goods" as worldly comfort, security, respect, and honor. The worship of these goddesses suggests that the devotee experiences a refreshing and liberating spirituality in all that is forbidden by established social orders.
It seemed to me that the stories of the Mahavidya incouraged someone to stretch their consciousness beyond the conventional, to break away from approved social norms, roles, and expectations. Just by choosing to come to India Cory and I were doing that. I can't tell you how many times when someone asked where we were going for vacation and we answered India we got the response " Why would you want to go there?"
Living one's life according to the rules dictates how, where, and exactly in what manner every bodily function may be exercised, and which people one may, or may not, interact with socially. It can create a sense of imprisonment from which one might long to escape. A new and refreshing perspective on the cage of respectability and predictability might be gained by learning about the Mahavidya. Indeed without a mystical adventure like this one any spiritual quest would be incomplete.
He went on to explain about Kali "Devourer of Time" one of the Dasa-Mahavidya Sometimes known as the Goddess of War. I suddenly was drawn back to my job and the many Kali River Rapid Rafts at Animal Kingdom that I have painted in the last 4 years. Boy have those tubes been a devourer of time for me. I almost giggled.
While retrieving our shoes we were enticed into the gift shop. In the gift I was tempted into buying a wooden Ganesh Statue. He is the Elephant god and I was assured that he would bring money and luck. I was thinking he would look great on our shelf with other traveling knickknacks like the scarab from Egypt, the Worry Beads from Greece and the other goodies we have brought back to theme our "East Indian Trading company" Great room.
Through the throngs of trinket selling men we scrambled back on to the bus back to our air-conditioned comfort, and the quiet of some very tired tourists. On our itinerary it said we would be driven back to our hotel where we would be given a little free time to head out on our own for lunch. I wasn't disappointed when Amit said that we would be going to a local carpet shop where they would give us tea and a little bit of lunch. Finding someplace for lunch in a short amount of time would have proved to be exhausting after full day of sightseeing, heat and jetlag.
These little trips to local "factories" we have encountered on many of these group tours where the economy of the country is developing. I believe that our guide might get a slight commission on anything sold though I have never seen the guide try to push any of the merchandise. I figure it isn't that much different from Disney putting a merchandise shop at the exit of every attraction. It is just good merchandising, plus so many tourist LOVE to shop.
They sat us down in chairs along the walls and served us tea and some little sandwiches. They went into how the carpets are hand knotted and the materials, dyes and designs used. They talked about where the carpets are made and how they feel to the touch. It is quite a show to see them start to unroll carpet after carpet with a flourish. Dazzling colors and designs are revealed. Having priced carpets in Egypt, Thailand and Turkey I must say that these are the best prices we have seen, still out of our budget but really good prices for the quality of carpet. There were a couple of people on the tour that did buy one of these beautiful works of art for their home. I on the other hand will have my little wooden Ganesh… I guess he has already brought me money or at least saved me some.

The following is a post from Scion Racing driver Ken Gushi. Throughout the year, he'll be providing periodic updates on what he's been up to and the modifications he has in store for his own personal Scion FR-S.
During the Formula Drift season, I arrive at the track ready to do battle in the GReddy Racing Scion FR-S. Of course, the car is packed up in its trailer until its time to start drifting, so what actually takes me to the track is what you can call my daily warrior – my personal Firestorm Red Scion FR-S. It's one of my two daily cars, along with a 2013 Scion iQ, and both cars are easy to drive and are enjoyable. But I gotta tell you, my FR-S is one hell of a street car. Everything about it, from the appearance and drivability to the feel and the sound, gets me excited.
Since I compete as part of the GReddy Racing Team, it only made sense to install some of their products in my very own FR-S. The first thing I added was the GReddy Info-Meter, which is essentially an engine parameter monitoring system that simply hooks up to the OBDII port. Those factory needles in your instrument cluster can only tell you so much. With the Info-Meter, I'm able to read actual numbers and monitor the health and condition of the engine.
From there, it didn't take long until I installed KW V3 coilovers. Cornering in the car was already excellent, but the new coilovers took that ability even further by reducing roll and tightening up suspension strokes on all four corners. It also gave me the ability to lower the car. Remember, I like driving fast, but I also like driving fast with style. With that said, I bought Volk Racing TE37SL Black Edition wheels to compliment the lowered stance.
The next two additions to the car were also GReddy products. First, the GReddy Evo3 cat-back exhaust system, and secondly, their intake system. The two products help the engine "breathe" and improve air flow through the motor. Not only did it increase the power, it also gave the direct-injection boxer motor a nice rumble.
Since the debut of the FR-S/86 twins, I've been a fan of the Japanese and European spec headlights. So, I asked my friend (who also happened to be the chief engineer of the car) Mr. Tetsuya Tada if he could help me out with some J-spec headlights. A month or two later, they were on my car. He also sent me a nice gift from TRD called the door stabilizer system, which replaces the factory door locking mechanism with a tightening locking system to stiffen up the chassis.
So far, this is my current "mod-list," and I have big plans for 2013. The body is still factory and I plan on keeping it that way for a while, since I'm in love with the factory body lines. I get really excited every time I have the chance to take the car around. I hope everyone has a chance to experience this addiction I have with modifying and personalizing my Scion FR-S, who I call Marilyn.
Did I mention a GReddy turbo this year? I think so.

My Stepmother is an Alien is a 1988 American comedy science fiction film produced by the Weintraub Entertainment Group for release through Columbia Pictures, directed by Richard Benjamin and starring Dan Aykroyd and Kim Basinger, with featured performances by Jon Lovitz and Alyson Hannigan.[3]
Celeste (Kim Basinger) is an alien sent on a secret mission to Earth and Steven Mills (Dan Aykroyd) is a widowed scientist who is working on different ways to send radio waves into deep space. An accident causes a disruption of gravity on Celeste's home world (Cosine N to the 8th). She's sent to investigate who could affect gravity and how it was done, believing it was an attack. She's aided by an alien device resembling a tentacle with an eye, which hides in a designer purse to aid Celeste with her encounters on Earth. The Bag is able to create any object, such as diamonds and designer dresses almost instantaneously. Celeste crashes a party hosted by Steven's brother Ron (Jon Lovitz) where she immediately draws attention to herself by making dated references to old TV shows and political slogans under the mistaken belief that it was current (her superiors had just collected the information, which had taken 92 years to get from Earth to her home world).
Celeste's inexperience almost results in her exposing herself as alien when she struggles with simple tasks like trying to kiss for the first time or cooking. Jessie Mills (Alyson Hannigan), Steven's 13-year-old daughter, notices Celeste's strange habits, like eating car batteries and pulling hard boiled eggs out of boiling hot water with her bare hands and becomes suspicious of her. However, she can't convince her smitten father that there is something unusual about Celeste. Ron also has his doubts about Celeste, but more on the basis that he feels his brother is doing too much too soon by asking to marry Celeste only a few days after they first met. Ron tries to dissuade Steven from marrying Celeste on the idea she is an illegal immigrant or planning economic espionage, but then admits he is jealous his brother found his dream girl whereas he will never find a girl like Princess Stéphanie of Monaco.
Celeste encounters a lot of new experiences such as sneezing, sexual intercourse and love. When finally confronted about being an extraterrestrial by Jessie, Celeste admits her home world is without emotion. Celeste plans to depart once she discovers the truth, but is put in a quandary by Jessie, who says it will devastate her father, whom Celeste has now developed feelings for. After Jessie argues with her dad, she runs away and is nearly hit by a car, but is saved by Celeste's powers. This reveals to Steven that Celeste is indeed an alien and that she has fallen in love with him as well as accepting Jessie as her own daughter. When the leaders of Celeste's home world report in they ask her to destroy the planet Earth until she and Steven manage to convince them it was not an act of aggression, but an accident. They accept the explanation on the basis that gravity is returning to normal on their planet and give their blessing for Celeste to be with Steven. Initially, however, they demand that Celeste return to explain human culture to them but settle for a native of Earth to serve as ambassador to their world as a token of goodwill. The ambassadorship is accepted by Ron, who departs for Celeste's world in a spaceship served by several flight attendants, all of whom look like Princess Stéphanie.

Three Things for the Bhopal Panel to Consider
On Monday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ordered a panel set up to look into issues relating to the recent verdict in the 1984 Union Carbide India Ltd. gas leak case, which saw seven former officials given sentences of two years in prison for criminal negligence. The prime minister ordered the panel, chaired by Home Minister P. Chidambaram, to report back in 10 days.
India Real Time hopes the panel will have the time to look into the following questions.
1. What happened to that health insurance policy?
In its 1991 decision confirming the $470 million settlement between Union Carbide Corp. and the Indian government, India's Supreme Court said Bhopal residents who did not have symptoms but might fall ill later would also need to be compensated. It directed the government to use part of the settlement money to create a group health insurance policy with no individual upper limit through one of its state-run companies for "this contingent class of possible prospective victims." It estimated the number at about 100,000.

The only way to solve this problem seems to be to use a swap file....
However i really don't think MINIX3 requires swap file to run gcc when

A little question: 1 click = 4kbytes?

The Ashes is one of the top Test cricket spectacles you'll see and this year has been far from a disappointment. We've played witness to a few great bowling and batting performances, and the First Test of the series is just the beginning. There's still plenty more to come.
Let's take a look at the recaps from each day of the First Test at Trent Bridge thus far.
Day 1 Recap
Through Day 1 of the First Test, Australia trails by 140 with six wickets remaining, according to the official Twitter account of Sky Sports:
Australia closed on 75-4 in reply to England's 215 as seamers dominated the opening day of the Ashes. Report: http://t.co/rhFaXPDEY2— Sky Sports (@SkySports) July 10, 2013
England won the toss and elected to bat first, but didn't have the performance that it would have liked. The team only put 215 runs on the board, as it seemed like nerves may have gotten to some of the batsmen. Jonathan Trott leads England in runs through the first day with 48.
One of the biggest stories from the opening day of play was how well Peter Siddle bowled for Australia. The 28-year-old took a remarkable five wickets, and ESPNCricInfo couldn't believe the kind of success Siddle was having against England. He finished the day having allowed 50 runs, but kept his team in a good position going forward:
Make that five now...what a day for Siddle #engvaus— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) July 10, 2013
When it was Australia's turn to bat, the country hoped to have a good showing, knowing that England didn't hit very well. Steve Smith scored 38 runs for Australia—and isn't out yet—but some of his teammates didn't have that kind of success. Michael Clarke, for example, didn't score at all during the first day.
Smith, along with Phil Hughes—who has scored seven runs, but isn't out yet—really helped Australia end the first day on a high note. ESPNCricInfo seems excited for what's to come:
Hughes and Smith nudge Australia to 75 for 4 to end a cracking day of Test cricket. The marker's been laid for a super Ashes.— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) July 10, 2013
James Anderson was the top bowler for England, as he allowed 25 runs in 10 overs for a 2.50 economy rate while taking two wickets. The English finished the day with four wickets, Steven Finn taking the other two. There's still a lot that can happen on Thursday, but for now, England has been fine bowling.
In total, there were 14 wickets throughout the opening day. It'll be interesting to see how many wickets are taken in the coming days.
One thing that seems apparent—though it's still very early—is that taking many wickets going forward will be vital to winning the Ashes.
Day 2 Recap
Day 2 at Trent Bridge offered one of the most spectacular performances you'll ever see in a Test match. Australia's Ashton Agar, who's just 19 years old, broke the record for the highest score by a No. 11. Agar scored 98 runs on 101 balls to surpass the previous all-time mark by three.
Here's what Agar told BBC about his historic day:
When I walked to the crease I was thinking we were in a little bit of trouble but the wicket was good.
Phil Hughes told me to take it ball by ball. We just played the moment and forgot about everything else. It was good fun, exciting and I enjoyed it.
I have always tried to play freely and naturally and I don't really get too nervous. There are a lot of people who would love to be doing what I'm doing.
CNN's Piers Morgan welcomed the youngster to the real world:
Welcome to the real world, Mr Agar... @KP24 #theashes— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 11, 2013
Agar was also the first player in the series to make a 50, per ESPN Stats & Info:
Aussie Ashton Agar becomes the first Test debutant No. 11 to make a 50. Ashes cricket action on @ESPNcricinfo— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) July 11, 2013
Agar helped Australia finish at 280 all out, giving his team a first-innings lead of 65. While Agar stole the spotlight on Day 2 of the First Test, Hughes certainly deserves some credit for how well he played. He had an 81 on 131 balls for a 61.83 strike rate and isn't out.
Steve Smith added 53 on 79 to aid Australia's lead as well.
While Siddle had a strong outing on Wednesday, he was just as good on Thursday—just without all those wickets. He allowed eight runs on nine overs for a 0.88 economy rate. His wicket total for the series, however, stands at five, as he wasn't able to take any.
Jimmy Anderson is now tied at five with a good day for England.
Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen were both productive batsmen on the second day, and neither is out yet. Cook has 37 on 130 and Pietersen has 35 on 98.
Root only had 5 on 31 and Trott has 0 on 1—and both are out. When Day 2 concluded, however, England was only through 43 overs.
Through the first two days at Trent Bridge, England leads by 15 runs with eight wickets remaining. Play will resume on Friday with England finishing up and then Australia coming to bat, looking to take the First Test lead.
Day 3 Recap
England leads Australia by 261 after a wild and controversial Day 3 at Trent Bridge, via BBC Sport:

Although both Ian Bell and Stuart Broad played superb for England, much of the talk on Friday centered on a controversial play that saw the umpire call Broad not out when it appeared as if he was.
BBC Sport recaps the strange moment:
Controversial moment at Trent Bridge – Stuart Broad survives a huge Australia appeal http://t.co/JUJJ7QHlv5 #Ashes— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 12, 2013
Replays show that Stuart Broad clearly hit the ball from Ashton Agar to first slip but he was given not out by the umpire #Ashes— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 12, 2013
Despite the controversy, Broad played phenomenal cricket on a pivotal third day of the first Test. He was huge with the bat for England, as was Bell, who along with Broad, is still not out.
Bell would record 95 runs in 228 balls in the second innings for a strike rate of 41.67, via Mark Beck:
Ian Bell is putting in a good shift. On course for a century I would have thought. Much better batting session today #Ashes— Mark Beck (@MB_Ktubes) July 12, 2013

Unfortunately, Day 3 at Trent Bridge will be forever remembered for the Stuart Broad controversy. While some are taking shots at Broad for not walking off, others have stated that you have to play the call. Still, CNN's Piers Morgan likely summed up the wild day better than anyone else on Twitter on Friday:
What a game, and still only Day 3. This is why The #Ashes remains the greatest sporting confrontation in the world.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 12, 2013
The action will continue from Trent Bridge on Saturday as the Aussies to battle back.
Day 4 Recap
Australia will need 137 runs with only four wickets remaining in order to defeat England in the first Test of the 2013 Ashes after putting up 174 on Day 4 at Trent Bridge, via BBC Sport:

Ian Bell was strong to start for the English, finishing with 109 runs to set Australia's run target at 311.
Ashton Agar and Brad Haddin, who combined for 12 runs on Saturday, are still not out for the Aussies, who will require a magnificent performance on Day 5 in order to rally.
James Anderson and Stuart Broad were the star bowlers for England, bowling a combined 33 overs and together conceding 78 runs. Anderson and Broad would finish with economy rates of 2.59 and 2.13 respectively.
Broad was one of two English bowlers to record two wickets on Day 4, via BBC Sport:

Australia captain Michael Clarke added: "We need Ashton Agar to play the type of innings he played in the first dig." #Ashes— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 13, 2013
The first Test match will conclude on Sunday at Trent Bridge. The Ashes' second Test will begin on Thursday from Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
Day 5 and Final Recap
England took the First Test of The Ashes on Sunday, defeating Australia by 14 runs.
The official Twitter account for BBC Sport announced the First Test's outcome:
England have defeated Australia by 14 runs at Trent Bridge to take a 1-0 lead in the #Ashes http://t.co/UauS7jJIPw— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 14, 2013
Australia entered Sunday needing 137 runs to win, but came up just short in what was quite the match for Jimmy Anderson and the English bowlers. Anderson allowed 73 runs in 31.5 overs for a 2.29 economy rate, while also taking five wickets. He finished the First Test with 10 wickets, the most of any bowler.
Anderson seemed pretty excited about the win, per BBC Sport:

He was also named the Man of the Match, per BBC Sport:
Jimmy Anderson has been named as the Man of the Match at Trent Bridge http://t.co/UauS7jJIPw #Ashes pic.twitter.com/nFaxHQ6zHw— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 14, 2013
Here's what Anderson said about the victory, per BBC's live blog:
The match had the nerves going but I love bowling her and I'm happy to pick up some wickets again. It generally swings here but whatever way we can get the ball moving, it is a bonus for us, we all bowled well.
Cook's catch was tremendous, it made up for the one he dropped before! You can't fault the effort of the boys though.
It is Ashes cricket, I love playing Test match cricket and the Ashes is right up there, the hard work in the gym is for bowling long spells in matches like these.
Peter Siddle had quite the First Test as well, as he finished with eight wickets, matching Anderson with five through the first innings. He ended Day 5 having allowed 135 total runs on 37.5 overs.
Brad Haddin was easily the top batsman for Australia in the second innings, as he scored 71 runs on 147 balls. He didn't make much of a contribution in the first innings, as he only had one run on a pair of balls.
Who will win The Ashes?
It was the strong bowling of England that really secured the First Test victory for the country. Aside from Anderson, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann each had fine second-innings performances as well. Broad allowed 54 runs on 23 overs while Swann allowed 105 runs on 44 overs. Each took two wickets.
The win for England gives the country a large advantage heading into the rest of the series. Australia will need to step it up in the Second Test in order to make things interesting. If the English take the second too, it will be nearly impossible for the Australians to make a comeback.
The Second Test gets underway on Thursday, July 18 at Lord's Cricket Ground in London.

Richard John Neuhaus, in "First Things: A Journal of Religion, Politics and Culture," (November 2005), comments on the notion "that in matters of religion, but not only in matters of religion, one must make a choice between tolerance and truth." He says it as false as a notion as it is a persistent one.
He cites a recent study by sociologists James D. Davidson and Dean R. Hoge "that explores how the sexual scandals have influenced Catholic attitudes toward the faith and the Church." Davidson and Hoge surveyed over a thousand, self-identified Catholics. In the study, 60% of participants were registered in a local parish and were assumed to be more religiously active than the 40% who were either not registered or who were unsure where or whether they were registered.
The researchers report an overall picture of stability in the pews. The results include several startling figures:
1) "Generational differences on the effects of the scandal turn out to be small, as were differences between registered parishioners and others."
2) "81% of Catholics said that being Catholic is a very important part of who I am."
3) "82% said the Catholic Church is very important to me personally."
4) "71% said they would never leave the Catholic Church."
5) "83 percent of Catholics agree that in the Mass the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ."
Citation of statistics was not the main point of Neuhaus's lengthy article but I thought that the numbers were a striking indicator of the strength of religious upbringing as a longer-term factor in Catholic, self-identity.
2 Responses to "Catholicism and Scandal"
Since you quote Auden and Neuhaus on the same page, perhaps you'd be interested in an Audenism more directly pertinent to Neuhaus's comment about truth and tolerance: "though truth and love can never really differ, when they seem to, the subaltern should be truth." From "The Cave of Nakedness"

Product purity is optimized through effective washing out of contaminants during diafiltration, as well as during any sanitization and flushing steps. The Mobius FlexReady TF-2 system was designed to minimize deadlegs and contamination points through the use of novel low dead volume T's in the recycle path, and through avoidance of flex lines that are longer than necessary. As shown in Figure 4, this results in a system that can achieve >4 log clearance of small molecules as modeled by a 12-diavolume buffer exchange of 150 g/L NaCL solution against water using a 2.5 m2 Pellicon 2 30 kD cassette.
Implementation of process-ready hardware systems containing single-use processing assemblies permits rapid facility start-up as well as ongoing operational flexibility. This study presents data demonstrating that a preengineered system for TFF can deliver optimal process performance in terms of yield, quality, and product purity through implementation of low working volume, excellent product recovery, effective mixing, and efficient removal of small molecules.
The Mobius FlexReady TF-2 system enabled greater than 98% product recovery from even the most concentrated model protein feedstock tested, while minimizing turbulence during mixing and recirculation to maintain high product quality. Greater than 4 logs clearance of small molecules during buffer exchange delivers performance that is equivalent to traditional stainless steel TFF systems.
The data demonstrates that pre-engineered systems combining process-ready hardware systems with single-use, application-specific fluid flowpath assemblies are an effective means of realizing the full benefits of single-use technology.

$7 price earns an extra star
by Shatzer12600943
2008 - An excellent value. This doesn't taste like what you expect from a $7 bottle. Very soft fruits with cherry and plum predominate. Very soft tannins with a smooth velvet texture reminiscent of Pinot Noirs. I'll be making this a regular addition to my shopping list.
Terrific Value
by Rivera13469674
This is a terrific value wine. The complexity of this merlot is well above its price point. It drinks well with hints of black cherry, currants, and spice, and ends with a relatively smooth finish.
very nice
by Miklos12371398
I rated this 2007 Merlot five stars. Much better than Concha Y Torro from Casillero del Diablo which was too dry (I thought it was a Cab). Red Diamond tasted to me as Morlot should.
Wonderfull Merlot!!
by deen13615876
Full bodied.. great finish.. there is nothing bad about this wine!!
by Thomas12645932
This is the best Merlot ever!!! I have been drinking it for 2 years and still tasting others to find one that compares. I cannot! This one is the best!
Love this wine!
by Baltz12690647
This is a great-tasting merlot for a great price. Love it with cheese and crackers, and chocolate!

by jackson14040766
This wine really impressed me,I would definatly buy again..Smooth and very balanced..
Great Merlot for cheap
by Law13923758
Very good merlot. Not complex but has a nice mouth feel to it. I tasted a lot of fruit and just a slight oak. If you are just starting to get into wine, this one's a good bet.
Great value wine
by Draughon12506699
I first had this wine at a dinner party. At first sip, I wanted to know more. The host gave me the name and I was sure it must have been more expensive. What a pleasant surprise to find it so affordable. It is a great value red; very smooth, tasting better than some of its more expensive peers, (in my opinion).
by NB0209
My favorite Merlots come from Washington State and this is incredible for the price!!! TRY IT!
by Mack11339539
I like this wine!
Starts out very nice

British actress George delivers in 'Call the Midwife'
Actress Helen George may look like the sexy Trixie she plays on PBS' "Call the Midwife," but that's where the resemblance ends.
George is far more serious and dedicated to her profession than her looks imply. "It's a vocation, and I think it's my cross to bear," she said. "Acting is my midwifery, I suppose.
"I say vocation because it takes over your whole life. You live it. It's not a 9-to-5 job; you can't switch it off," she said.
George has been promoting the second season of the British series, which airs on Sundays, and to try out for some American pilots. She admits she's scared to death to do that.
"I had my first audition last week and I was soooo nervous. I've done so many auditions in London -- big musical auditions and big film auditions and TV. But here, the fright of doing my first American audition was so much bigger. It was fine once I went in there, but it was so scary."
If that were not enough stress, her trip has forced a separation from her actor husband of three months, Oliver Boot. "I'm Mrs. Boot," she said with a laugh. "I sound like a hit woman."
Despite the miles between them, George said her husband is a constant in her life. "He understands what I do, and he helps me so much," she said.
"He's like my own personal acting coach; he's so wonderful with me. At the same time I don't think we let acting define us. We have lots of friends who aren't in the business, which means we have a social life outside of acting."
She and Boot communicate over Skype and he will join her in a few weeks. They met when they co-starred in the British series "Hotel Babylon."
"I had that rule: Don't date actors, and certainly don't marry an actor. That was Rule No. 1, but you can't help who you fall in love with. When you're acting and your job is to fall in love with someone -- sometimes it just happens. We met on a job and we were friends for a long time before we entered into a relationship."
She felt a calling to show business at age 5, when she started taking dancing lessons. But by the time she was a teenager she realized that her future did not fit in a tutu.
"I went to see 'Les Miz' when I was about 15, and I loved it so much. I didn't know how to sing at that point, and I started singing every song at our house by myself. Then I had the sudden thought, 'Oh, I can hit those notes. I can sing those songs.'"
So she auditioned for a performing arts boarding school. "And I had to do an acting piece for that, and I got in and did that."
Her dad was a professor of politics and her mom a social worker, both now retired. When she displayed this proclivity for performing they didn't object, she said. "I struggled at school, but I came from an academic family so I think that was always a worry for my parents.
"They thought, 'She's a wild child and what are we going to do with her? She needs a purpose.' Thankfully, I did find a purpose and passion."
She applies the same dedication to her domestic life as she does her work. "I love to clean my flat," she confides, leaning forward in her chair. "I can't think straight if I have a dirty home, and I won't hire a cleaning person. I have to do it myself. It cleanses my soul every time. I'm an old-fashioned sort of a girl like that."
But when it comes to finances, it's a different matter. "I'm bad at math," she said. "My husband calls me '27,000' because whenever there's a sum that needs to be added up, I always come up with some wild figure that bears no relevance. I'm very good at spending money. I'm always hiding my new purchases under the bed and telling my husband I've had it for years."

A few quick announcements
A few quick announcements:
- I've had several requests from readers to keep putting a little post announcement when a new piece of mine gets published in San Diego Magazine, so I will keep doing so. Please check out my newest piece today here.
- You may have noticed some changes on my blog. I hope you find the new design to be cleaner and easier to use. One of my favorite new features of this new theme is the visual index! If you click on any category of the index you can see what I'm talking about.
- Finally, I'll be leaving for a much needed vacation soon. My intent is to have enough posts drafted ahead of time so that the blog schedule will remain relatively the same. But it may take me a little longer to respond to questions and comments. I hope to have a lot of food pictures from my travels to share with you.

Masking emotions
In a month when love looms large, Gannon University is putting a humorous face on one particularly nagging feeling that romance can produce.
Alaina Manchester directs a cast of eight in Sarah Ruhl's "Melancholy Play: A Contemporary Farce," a comedic drama about the ways in which emotions propel people toward certain actions.
"'Melancholy Play' is about love, longing and that odd, somewhat sad, somewhat nostalgic feeling of melancholy," Manchester said. "There are long-lost twins and vaguely European accents, fights and turning into inanimate objects. There are a lot of things going on in this play, and it all revolves around a very interesting girl named Tilly."
Tilly, played by Brianna Woods, is a bank teller with a tendency toward melodrama. Other characters include her psychologist Lorenzo (Michael Haas), hairdresser Frances (Natalie Pertz), nurse Joan (Lauren Loop) and tailor Frank (Zak Westfall). Also in the cast are Tom Barton, Alexandra Mihai and Leah Johnson, who plays the violin.
"In the play, we use Ruhl's heightened language to explore such a complex notion," said Manchester, a Gannon University alum who considers Ruhl a favorite playwright. "Often in the play, Tilly mentions melancholy-like terms from another language that she cannot quite place.
"We used Laban Movement Exploration and Commedia del Arte mask work to explore the physical journey of each character through their melancholia."
Manchester noted that the play is a study in magical realism, which has created a substantial set of challenges.
"The actors have had to agree on a set of rules for the universe that was created and when it was appropriate to bend or break these rules," she said. "Trying to exist in a universe that is not limited by realism can prove a difficult task when also striving to be truthful. It is an interesting razor's edge."
Manchester hopes audiences will respond positively to this "sweetly quirky" show that she feels is a perfect fit for Valentine's Day.
"This play is unique and funny," she said, "and unlike anything else."

BOXING'S ALREADY exclusive club of unforgettable characters became a bit more so on Sunday with the death of Bert Randolph Sugar, 75, the raconteur/historian known as much for his one-liners and ever-present fedora and cigar as for the 80 books he authored.
Coming a little more than 7 weeks after another true original, Angelo Dundee, passed away at 90, the loss of "The Hat" is enough to sadden anyone who has been around long enough to understand that outsized personalities such as theirs are as close to irreplaceable as it ever gets in the fight game.
Sugar and Dundee collaborated on Dundee's 2007 autobiography, "My View From the Corner: A Life in Boxing," a 307-page tome that might have been stretched a thousand pages more had they included every humor-tinged war story that they no doubt regaled each other with while working on the project.

Free weekly 5K run
Guaranteed to get you dancing in the moonlight, sunlight and any other light you care to mention, Indie popsters Toploader are back out touring the UK after an eight year hiatus and stop off at Middlesbrough Town Hall on Thurs 20 Oct.
Following lead singer Joseph Washbourn's opera journey on ITV's Popstar to Operastar, Eastbourne's favourite sons return to what they do best, with the 'Only Human' 16-date UK tour. After reuniting at guitarist Dan Hipgrave's stag do the band conceived their latest album, Only Human, and injected it with a fresh sound that they've always wanted to make.
The new album saw the band work with Morrissey and Coldplay producer Danton Supple, and an album fill of potential pop classics was created. The debut single, Never Stop Wondering, became the unrivalled soundtrack for Sky Sports and BBC, cropping up on major sporting events such as the FA Cup, Formula One, Cricket World Cup and Rugby Six Nations – a national anthem if ever there was one!
The band have certainly come a long way since the release of the hauntingly catchy Achilles Heel back in 1999. A top five album, numerous festival headline slots, TV appearances and THAT song have made them one of indie's shining lights.
Capable of funky blues-rock and soaring string balladry, just try resisting the urge to sing along and tap your foot.
Offering support are two of Teesside's brightest new bands, Collectors Club and Sister Rose. Both bands have made a huge splash since springing out of nowhere in the last year with huge performances at Intro Festival and Stockton Weekender, wooing thousands of music lovers in the process.
Toploader with Collectors Club and Sister Rose at Middlesbrough Town Hall October 20. Doors: 7.30PM Start time: 8.00PM. Tickets are now on sale and are £15 each, to book tickets, or obtain further information, call the Box Office on either 01642 729 729. Buy tickets for Toploader at Middlesbrough Town Hall online

Social History Society Annual Conference, Dublin, 7-9 January 2005
'Mapping the Past: Boundaries, Communications and Transnational Exchanges'
This is one of six strands running at the Social History Society Annual Conference, 7-9 January 2005, University College Dublin, Ireland. The strand organiser is Dr David Hopkin, Department of Economic and Social History, University of Glasgow, firstname.lastname@example.com, or (0044)(0)141 330 2786. Further details about the conference are available at: http://sochist.ntu.ac.uk.
This strand explores the shape of the past, the specificity of place, the influence of environment, the nature of boundaries, and the impact of travel. It maps divisions – whether they be urban-rural, centre-periphery, north-south, metropole-diaspora -–and the communications that flow between them. It is concerned with the exchange of people, materials and ideas whether through migration, trade, wars and other conflicts. It will also examine the historical role of imaginary places, and the cultural contribution of wanderers and flâneurs. Contributors are also invited to consider how the shape of the past can best be visualised, particularly in the light of new technology, and how a sense of place informs collective memory. Proposals may deal with any period and may treat any portion of the globe.. Individual papers or panels of up to 3 papers exploring these themes are all encouraged.
Formal proposals of 20 minute papers should include the name of the speaker, affiliation, contact details, a 300 word abstract of their paper, and a very short c.v, ideally all on one page. Submitters of proposals are encouraged to indicate the strand(s) they feel most appropriate for their papers, but the ultimate decision will be made by the conference committee.
The deadline for proposals is 30 September 2004. If accepted, speakers will be notified before the end of October.
Proposals should be sent to the address below.

Local Tejano star Roberto Pulido performed before a large crowd Wednesday, May 16 at the Edinburg City Auditorium to raise funds for music scholarships at The University of Texas-Pan American, his alma mater.
"I thank the Lord I've been successful, and I think it's only proper to pay back the community and help out the students who want to pursue music and just help them out financially," Pulido said.
This was the third year Pulido sponsored the scholarship fundraiser to support the UTPA Department of Music. The goal was to raise more than $15,000 for scholarships.
"It is a great honor that he still feels a great love for his alma mater," said Dahlia Guerra, chair of the Department of Music. "I really admire him for taking the time out of his busy schedule to do this. He is really dedicated to helping students."
Guerra said scholarship recipients would be chosen based on musical qualifications and financial need.
Joining Pulido was the UTPA Mariachi, Happy the Comedian, Ruben Ramos and the Texas Revolution, and Alma Pulido. Joe Morales of KIWW served as master of ceremonies.
Pulido, also known as "El Primo," is a 1973 graduate of the UTPA Music Department. After teaching at Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School for a short time, he established the Tejano band Roberto Pulido y Los Clasicos. He received his first Tejano Music Award for male vocalist in 1980 and is known as a pioneer who bridged the gap between Conjunto and Tejano music in the '70s.
"As long as I'm alive, I will continue to do this," Pulido said. "And I hope when I'm gone, my children will continue with the tradition."

We had trouble twice when we used the baking stand to bake 2 potatoes at one time. Both times the plastic device fell over with our potatoes still on the spikes. The potatoes did bake in less time than when we just used a paper plate to set them on.

Potatoes fall over when cooking. Plastic stand is too weak to stand up for only two potatoes.

I wish I would have bought this product sooner. It makes perfect baked potatoes and folds up for easy storage. I definitely will buy one for my daughter.
VERY Disappointed

Several years ago, I owned a potato baker that looked just like this picture. The difference is that it was of a rigid plastic, and the prongs had enough of a point to skewer a raw potato. THIS ONE is too flimsy to support the weight of a potato, and placing the potatoes on the skewers is dangerous; you have to use such force to get it started that you run the risk of skewering your hand.
