Latest U.S. approval follows similar EU sanction in October 2010.[pressmaster-Fotolia.com]
FDA has approved Roche's Rituxan (rituximab; MabThera in the EU) as maintenance therapy for patients with advanced follicular lymphoma who responded to initial treatment using Rituxan plus chemotherapy. The drug was cleared for this indication in Europe in October 2010.
The latest approval in the U.S. was based on data from the Phase III PRIMA trial, which showed that for patients who responded to induction therapy using chemotherapy plus Rituxan, continuing with Rituxan as single maintenance therapy for another two years nearly doubled progression-free survival time. PRIMA included 1,217 patients with previously untreated advanced follicular lymphoma.
First developed by Biogen Idec Rituxan/MabThera is an anti-CD20 antibody that gained its initial U.S. approval in November 1997, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, low-grade or follicular, CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL. Initial clearance of the drug as MabThera in the EU was first received in June 1998. The drug is now approved for various uses in the treatment of NHL and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Approvals are also in place in the U.S. and Europe for use of Rituxan/MabThera combined with methotrexate as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients who have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF therapy.
Genentech and Biogen Idec are responsible for commercializing Rituxan in the U.S., and Roche markets MabThera in the rest of the world, except Japan, where it is co-marketed by Chugai and Zenyaku Kogyo. In its report for the first half year of 2010, Roche notes combined sales of of Rituxan/MabThera for NHL, CLL, and RA rose 9% to CHF 3.3 billion (about $3.4 billion) and accounted for 17% of its overall sales for the period. The drug is Roche's second biggest selling pharmaceutical, behind the anticancer drug Avastin.

Crowley cruises past Notre Dame
By Chris Quebedeaux
CROWLEY – The emphasis for Crowley Gents this year has been the play of their post players.
That's because when the inside game is clicking, the Gents are tough to beat.
Case in point: Tuesday's District 5-AAA clash between the Gents and cross-town rival Notre Dame.
Unfortunately for the Pioneers, the Gents were at their best in the paint in the two teams' second meeting of league play and the result was a resounding 75-47 CHS victory.
Crowley forwards Jerrell Andrus and Michael Harmon keyed the victory, combining for 33 points as the Gents improved to 18-9 overall and, more importantly, 4-2 in league play. The Pios fell to 10-16 overall and 2-4.
"They (Crowley) beat us inside, they beat us on the boards and they won the ballgame," said Notre Dame coach Mark Jones following the game. "We knew coming in that we had to win the game inside which we did not do and they beat us to death on it."
Harmon and Andrus played a huge role in the Gents' victory, combining for 18 points and 12 rebounds in the first half alone. Their dominating performance inside opened up the floor for off-guard Dexter Scott, who poured in 10 of his 17 points in the first 16 minutes to help the Gents build a 34-20 lead at the break.
"We knew their (Notre Dame) strengths and we knew our strengths. All week we emphasized on inside-out," said Gents coach Derrick Boone following the victory. "Once we got our big guys going and got those guys active, our exterior guys got in the grove of the game pretty quick."
The Gents, who have struggled in the second half recently, opened the game up in the third quarter. The Gents poured in 15 points and limited the Pios to just seven to take a 49-27 cushion heading into the final stanza.
"In the back of our minds, we were thinking about the third quarter we played against Church Point," said Boone, whose squad was outscored 19-8 in the third frame against the Bears last Friday. "We knew we had to have a good third quarter tonight. We had a little lead, but we needed to take control of the game at that point and I think we did that."
Andrus took over in the fourth quarter, scoring nine of is game-high 23 points in the final eight minutes.
The Gents actually led by as many as 32 (66-34) midway through the fourth before the reserves hit the court. At that point, Notre Dame outscored the Gents 13-9 to end the game.
Andrus finished with a double-double, grabbing 16 rebounds to go along with his 23 points.
"Jerrell has a nose for the ball," said Boone. "He's a raw talent and he plays smart. All of his shots are basically layups because of his awareness of what's going on and his ability to get to the goal."
Scott followed with 17 points and Tevin Barker and Harmon each pitched in 10 points. Therion Beverly added six points, Darius Harrison four, Donavon Morris three and D'Myrus Daniels two.
Nick Zaunbrecher paced the Pios with 21 points.
"Nick had a great game, but we didn't play a good game as a team," said Jones. "One man can't carry the whole team. We didn't do a good job on the inside. They didn't even attempt to look outside. They took everything to the inside and we let them do it. We didn't do anything to stop it. If they did miss, we didn't do anything to get a second or third rebound and you can't beat good teams like that."
Charlie Ropp, Morgan Allen and Taylor Thibodeaux each scored six points in the losing effort. John Nickel contributed four points while Will Faulk and John Graf each scored two.
Crowley returns to district action Friday when the Gents travel to Prairie Rhonde to take on league-leading Northwest.
The Pios will also be in action Friday when they play host to Church Point.

Another week and more complaining about the budget sequester -- but no action. President Barack Obama spent the week trying to find a way to avert a potential budget showdown at the end of the month and alleviate the impact of the sequester. The Senate responded with a bill to restore some funding for military scholarships. But actually budget activity hasn't happened.
David Kolb wrote about the impact of the sequester in his column, "Anti-stimulus budget sequester is the antidote to recovery."
Kolb wrote:
Here's a sampling of what MLive and Muskegon Chronicle readers had to say:
So, if sequester is the remedy, it is a remedy to retard recovery. It is the medicine to hurt average Americans. It's the toxic pill to drag the economy back into recession and it's the reward for very bad behavior.
Democrats and Republicans, in my view, share responsibility for this misery they are inflicting upon us, this quackery to cure the overblown and, some say, the nonexistent problem of the deficit.
I suspect most readers don't know what the sequester is, thinking it's just a funny word that's starting to appear more frequently in headlines or in talking points.
Even more of these probably don't care one way or the other about it.
They should. You should. It's serious stuff.
Less money and human power being wasted means more money and human power doing something useful.
I'm confused - how is 2% considered austerity ? That's 2 cents on a dollar. Can anyone (sane) not remove 2% from their budget and still live the same lifestyle that they are living now ? 2% - come on people !! And that's just a 2% reduction in the GROWTH of spending, not a reduction in spending. See what kind of idiotic fear is being produced by those dolts in government and the socialist press that do their bidding.
All valid points, David...
Austerity programs like the sequester implemented to reduce the deficit will not solve our problem, but only make it worse. The reduction in dollars flowing into the economy will hurt GDP and could slide us back into a recession. Less economic activity, less revenue, more debt.
If only the tea-people could look at the big picture and realize the harm this will cause.
The only "cuts" that have taken place were cuts in the percentage of increase in spending from the previous year. I also failed to see where you mentioned that the sequester was Obama's idea.
Will sequester harm our economy? What do you think the president and Congress Post your comments below or return to the original conversation.

I like to plan my fasts a day or two in advance. Generally I'll put an alarm on my phone at 4pm for Thursday that says "Last Meal." I make sure to eat and then I'm set. I choose 4pm because by 11pm or so I'll be a little hungry, so I can sleep through any hunger pangs. I wake up to another alarm on my phone that says "Fasting!" with a reminder at noon just in case I feel like a snack. Friday at 4pm I break the fast.

There is really no such thing as 'true' fast. Your limitations are determined by your goals. Want to limit your food intake for the day, but don't trigger limbic hunger and insulin response & feel Okay? Then 20 cals cup worth of broth or tiny bit of cream in coffee or some other insignificant intake won't "break" your fast and interfere with your goals (unless it does).I wondered about this. I saw someone say she was using broth to get through a fast, and my initial thought was "But you're ingesting nutrients, so how is that a true fast?"
On the other hand if your goal is to psychologically prove to yourself that you can live without putting anything in your mouth for 48 hours, well, then you would literally go without any food and water.
People do juice fasts, hot pepper and lemon juice ones (famous master-cleans), this and that fasts, whatever suits their particular need and makes them feel that they achieve the FAST. Heck when I was 18, there were folks who drunk their own urine while fasting to heal themselves in addition to making anemas from that same valuable source of salts and all.
It is no different from any other concept. It's just a name, and the individuals put their spin on it.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I don't forget it that day or that hour but I mindlessly do something that i don't think of as being "eating" per say. I guess stopping snacks between meals in general would make fasting easier but that seems pretty effortful to do every day just to ensure the success of a fast once in a while. I'm thinking that maybe if I find my retainer (from after having braces) I'll put that in so that I won't mindlessly eat. But I'm really surprised that this doesnt happen to anyone else!!!
Well, I did pop a berry or two in my mouth when working in the yard mindlessly Otherwise, I am too obsessed with food for my own good.
For your break-out, there might be a simpler solution, depending on how much sugar you are eating. Do you eat any honey, maple syrup, palm sugar, fresh or dry fruit, sweet potatoes, carrots or artificial sweeteners? I'd chuck that for a few weeks and see if your skin clears before I try to fast it out. If you are doing it for detox/break out, you would benefit from enema on the morning after, sorry about the eww details.

What am I doing? Depends on the day.
It's easy for me not to think about eating during the day because I'm busy with class and work, and whenever I'm around friends who are eating they're making something for which the question of 'eating some or not' just doesn't arise. For example I caught up with my best friend last night while helping her make some banana bread. It smelled awesome and I have fun baking stuff, but I knew and she knew that I just wasn't going to have any.
So I don't consciously obsess about food when fasting, but oddly I DO have DREAMS that I'll accidentally break the fast.
I want to get to the not thinking what I will eat when I break the fast point

Developing for Android
At the time of writing, the following facts hold true:
- Android applications are self-contained, there appears to be no way for users to deploy a shared library to a device
- The scala library therefore needs to be embedded in every android application that uses it
- The Scala nature can be successfully added to an ADT project
- Using ProGuard is *highly* desirable, to keep these apps to a manageable size
- There is no usable1 eclipse builder for proguard that we can add to a hybrid Scala/ADT project
- Using the Android SDK to create an ant-based project from the command line yields the exact same project layout as using the eclipse plugin
1 Obfuscate4e and a couple of JavaME toolkits add ProGuard support, but not in a way that's suitable for our needs.
For the rest of this article, I'll be assuming that:
- your environment is fully set up
- you have a configured Android Virtual Device targeting SDK 7 (Android 2.1)
- you've been able to deploy a Java-based application to it
- You're using Scala 2.8 and the matching IDE plugin
As Proguard can't be embedded into the Eclipse build process, we'll create an Ant build instead and have Eclipse use that as an "External Task".
Step 1: Create the ant files for your project:
cd <project dir>
android update project --target 1 --path .
--target 1 specifies the Virtual Device to use. If you have more than one then they can be listed with:
android list targets
This will create the three files: build.properties, default.properties and build.xml
Step 2: Customise your ant file
replace the line
<setup />
With this code.
NOTE: On windows change the ":" to a ";" in the line "-injars ${out.classes.absolute.dir};tools/scala-library.jar(!META-INF/MANIFEST.MF,!library.properties)" if you get errors like this: "Can't read [proguard.ClassPathEntry@146e381] (No such file or directory)".
As explained in build.xml, this code is copied from <SDK>/platforms/<target_platform>/templates/android_rules.xml with the following modifications:
- macro "dex-helper" updated to use classes.min.jar (instead of /classes) as the input
- target "compile" has a scalac task added at the end
- added new target "proguard", depending on "compile" that generates classes.min.jar from /classes
- target "-dex" now depends on proguard instead of compile
You'll also need a /tools directory in the root of your project containing:
- proguard.jar
- retrace.jar (from the ProGuard download)
- scala-compiler.jar
- scala-library.jar
NOTE: With version 7 of the Android SDK tools, the apkbuilder ant task has been updated so the default build.xml no longer works; see http://email@example.com/msg117046.html. I had to replace the apkbuilder section in the above link with this:
<apkbuilder outfolder="${out.absolute.dir}" resourcefile="${ant.project.name}.ap_" apkfilepath="${out.debug.unaligned.package}" debug="${build.debug}" abifilter="${filter.abi}" verbose="${verbose}" hascode="true"> <dex path="${intermediate.dex.file}"/> <sourcefolder path="${source.absolute.dir}"/> <sourcefolder refid="android.libraries.src"/> <jarfolder path="${external.libs.absolute.dir}" /> <jarfolder refid="android.libraries.libs" /> <nativefolder path="${native.libs.absolute.dir}" /> <nativefolder refid="android.libraries.libs" /> <extra-jars/> </apkbuilder>
Step 2a: Test
Before deploying to your virtual machine, it must first be running, you have two options here:
a. via the "SDK and AVD Manager", (run with the command `android`) select and start the virtual device
b. If you know the device name (mine is "Nexus.1"), then you can directly use the command: emulator -avd Nexus.1
Once your emulator is running you can just leave it there, the boot time is too slow to restart the thing for every test!
You can now deploy the application with
ant install
( may need to increase to increase memory for ant, 'export ANT_OPTS=-Xmx1024m' )
This won't automatically launch it as the Eclipse plugin does, but the application WILL now be installed and usable on your virtual device.
If working move to Step 3
If you have more than one device running (maybe emulator and physical phone connected) the you will need to copy the app by hand. To list devices:
adb devices
then copy app to device
adb -s emulator-5554 install -r ./Hello.apk
- -s <device> device to be installed on
- -r write over previous version
If this all works, proceed to the next step...
Step 3: Use some Scala code!
As normal for any other pre-existing Java project, you first switch to the Scala perspective, then add the Scala nature (via the Configure... menu on right-clicking the project)
This will also add the JDK libraries to your classpath. These aren't needed for Android development and should be removed, leave the Scala libraries on the classpath though.
Replace your java Activity class with its Scala equivalent. This is what the default Activity.java looks like when rewritten as Activity.scala:
package com.example.helloandroid
import android.app.Activityimport android.os.Bundle
class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
override def onCreate(savedInstanceState:Bundle) : Unit = {
Install it again with `ant install`, you're now running Scala 2.8 on Android!
Step 4: Create an External Tool configuration in Eclipse to launch the Ant Target
Open the External Tools Configurations in Eclipse and create a new Ant Build. Define following settings:
- Buildfile: ${project_loc}\build.xml
- Base Directory: ${project_loc}
- In the tab "Targets" choose the target "install"
- Open the tab JRE and add the VM arguments -Xmx1024m
Running this external tool will start the Ant target install and run's the application on your Android emulator.

Snow, nasty weather returns to Erie region
Watching the weather degenerate from weekend temperatures in the 70s to snowfall and a return to wearing winter gear Tuesday was a tough task for many Erieites.
"My kids were outside all day Sunday playing basketball, tennis and Four square,'' Erie resident Cheryl Warnshuis, 43, said.
Temperatures in Erie reached a high of 70 degrees on Saturday, 80 degrees on Sunday and 74 degrees on Monday.
"Going from that to snow is way disappointing,'' Warnshuis said. "It's like a shock. I was just putting away the winter snow pants.''
Winter conditions returned to the Erie region Tuesday thanks to a slow-moving cold frontal system that made its way across the Great Lakes, according to Jim Kosarik, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
"Most people who live in Erie long enough know that's the way it goes,'' Kosarik said.
As of 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Erie received 1 inch of snow as measured at Erie International Airport, raising the city's season snowfall total to 138.2 inches.
That total ranks as the fifth-snowiest winter in city history. Erie's snowiest winter occurred in 2000-01, when 149.1 inches fell.
Tuesday's high temperature in Erie was 41 degrees at 12:28 a.m. The low temperature was 29 degrees at 3:37 p.m.
Erie's normal high and low temperatures for April 15 are 56 degrees and 38 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
"For this late in the season, it's kind of an unusually cold air mass that we're seeing,'' Kosarik said. "This came from the west and moved east slowly. The wind shifted from the south to the north, and the air mass came from central Canada across the Great Lakes. Most places across Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania had an inch or two.''
The inch of snow that Erie received was enough for Warnshuis and her family to continue a yearly winter ritual.
Warnshuis' husband, Mark, 45, and their 6-year-old daughter, Aleah, spent Tuesday afternoon building a snow sculpture of the character Olaf from the Walt Disney animated film "Frozen'' in the yard of their home in the 4100 block of Brewer Avenue on the city's east side.
"My husband has an annual tradition of making a snow sculpture,'' Cheryl Warnshuis said.
"He's made a turtle, bear and a horse in the past. This is the latest in the season that he's made it. We thought we were going to miss this,'' Warnshuis added.
The latest recorded measured snowfall in Erie history took place on May 7, 1989, when four-tenths of an inch fell, according to Kosarik. The latest recorded trace of snowfall in Erie history was on May 26, 1961, he said.
Spring conditions should return to the region later this week, Kosarik said.
"We don't see any more major snowstorms coming up,'' Kosarik said. "Eventually, we're going to run out of winter, hopefully.''

Chicago man dies after TASER incident with police
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A 42-year-old man died this weekend after being shocked twice by police with a Taser, authorities said Sunday.
Geffery Johnson was pronounced dead Saturday at St. Bernard Hospital.
Police said they were called to the southwest side home of Johnson's mother on Saturday afternoon when the woman complained Johnson was damaging property.
Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said Johnson, who had been arrested nearly two dozen times, was violating a protective order by being at the home.
"The mother wanted him arrested," Bond said. "At the time he resisted arrest and became combative and demonstrated erratic behavior. And police had to use a Taser to subdue him."
Bond said Johnson lunged again and he was shocked a second time.
Authorities also used pepper spray on the man.
But family members Sunday gave a different account of the incident.
"Chicago Police executed my son in cold blood," said Johnson's mother, Lula Johnson.
The use of Tasers, which deliver a 50,000-volt shock to immobilize people temporarily, have come under fire in Chicago and other cities following several deaths.
The weapon uses compressed nitrogen to fire two barbed darts that can penetrate clothing.
Law enforcement officials tout the Tasers as less lethal than other ways of subduing combative people in high-risk situations.
Police Superintendent Phil Cline temporarily suspended the distribution of stun guns in 2005 after two people died after police shot them with Tasers.

PSU must be ready for Temple's physical play
March 15, 2011 - Cory Giger
While most teams in the NCAA Tournament have no idea what to expect from their first-round opponent, Penn State and Temple have a good feel for each other based on a preseason scrimmage back in November.
The Nittany Lions know how physical the Owls will be because, well, Temple pushed them around during the scrimmage.
"I remember them beating us up inside," PSU guard Talor Battle said. "I think they were a little tougher at the time."
The key there being, as full seasons go, the distant past.
"That was a long time ago," Battle said. "Of late, we've been really playing physical, matching the intensity of the other teams. So I think in that aspect we're prepared.
"I just remember the first little segment we played they beat us up pretty good," Battle added. "And then we started playing a little better."
The teams didn't keep score during the scrimmage, Battle noted.
Forward Jeff Brooks concurred with Battle's memory.
"I remember there were some big guys, but I just remember that we weren't playing physical," Brooks said. "It was like our first little game situation, guys were a little shy."
And now, Brooks added, "We're a completely different team."
Battle said the same thing, almost word for word.
"We're a different basketball team now," he said.
Temple, most certainly, is too.
"They're a big, strong team, they play similar to us, try to get on the glass," Battle said. "They don't score too many points, they don't play too fast, so it's an interesting matchup and we're looking forward to it."
Penn State will try to match Temple's physical play, meaning defense, rebounding and protecting the ball will all be keys. Some statistical comparisons:
Temple is 86th in the nation in rebounding margin at +2.8, while PSU is 136th at +1.4.
Temple is 65th in FG percentage defense at 41.1, while PSU is 213th at 43.8.
Both teams protect the ball well. Penn State is 10th in turnovers per game at 10.6, while Temple is 15th at 10.8.
For all those similar stats, there's one glaring difference between the two teams.
Temple scores at a much higher clip than PSU, averaging 70.9 points compared to just 63.0 for the Lions, who rank 289th in the country. Then again, Penn State was going up against much better competition most nights in the Big Ten than Temple was in the Atlantic 10.

Istanbul's Top Five BeaneriesFiled under Features
Until we visited some of Istanbul's shrines to the baked bean, we generally regarded the dish as something eaten out of a can beside railroad tracks. But Turkey takes this humble food, known as kuru fasulye, seriously; that means chefs in tall toques carefully ladling out golden beans in a rich red gravy onto monogrammed flatware, served by waiters wearing bowties and vests. Even in the least formal of Istanbul's beaneries, the guy manning the pot has the air of a high priest who knows that his incantations alone conjure something unusually delicious out of a simple dry white legume. This is no hobo fare.
There are two general schools of bean cooking in Turkey: Black Sea and Anatolian. Beans Black Sea-style sit in a red gravy so thick with butter and laden with chunks of meat that we eat it with a fork and a hearty piece of bread. Anatolian beans, often known as Erzincan beans, are soupier and cooked in a tomato-based sauce without butter and meat. Either way, you can't go wrong.
To see our top five bean joints in town, read the rest of this post on CulinaryBackstreets.com, here.

Doc Hastings will retire at the end of the year, he announced Thursday. Political watchers are already speculating on who might run to replace the long-time representative. The district is considered strongly Republican, so a Democratic upset is unlikely. Hastings served two decades as south-central Washington's Republican congressman. "I turned 73 last Friday, and one more term, I would have been nearly 76, so I just thought this was the right time," he said.

Hong Kong to Boost Home Sales, Favor Locals as Prices Surge
Hong Kong will boost the supply of homes and give preference to local buyers as it seeks to cool housing prices that have surged to the world's most expensive, fueled by record-low interest rates and Chinese investment.
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying announced a 10-point package yesterday that included speeding up the approval of permits for private project sales, selling public units that were originally intended for rent, and drafting policies that will give preference to local buyers.
The measures are the toughest since the government in June last year increased down-payment requirements, and the strongest move yet to quell concerns about a surge in non-local purchases, particularly by mainland investors that account for a third of new home buying in the city and helped drive prices up 85 percent since the beginning of 2009. The measures don't go far enough, said Wong Leung-sing, associate research director at Centaline Property Agency Ltd.
"It's a nice gesture, but it won't have a real impact on prices," said Wong. "Accelerating sales and increasing supply wouldn't solve the problems. They haven't addressed the real issue and that's the market is flush with cash."
The seven-member Hang Seng Property Index, which tracks developers, including Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. and Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd., rose 1.1 percent at the close of trading in Hong Kong. The benchmark Hang Seng Index fell 0.4 percent.
Wealth Gap
Sun Hung Kai, the city's biggest builder, rose 1.5 percent to HK$100.60, while Cheung Kong, controlled by Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, gained 1.6 percent to HK$105.50. Henderson Land Development Co., controlled by billionaire Lee Shau-kee, gained 2.1 percent to HK$47.70.
"These policies will help stabilize prices," said Lee Wee Liat, a Hong Kong-based analyst at BNP Paribas. "They're focusing on flushing out the supply to the market. Developers will try and speed up sales but will be moderate with pricing. The important thing is they're not trying to stifle demand."
Leung, a surveyor, took over as Hong Kong's leader last month on a pledge to address a widening income gap and housing affordability.
Home prices have increased 12 percent this year, bringing the gain to 47 percent since October 2009, when Leung's predecessor, Donald Tsang, first introduced measures to prevent the formation of an asset bubble. Prices recovered from the second half of last year even as the government lowered its growth forecast for 2012 and as China's economy slows.
Street Protests
Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets in a largely peaceful demonstration in July, hours after Leung pledged to do more to address poverty and boost public housing. The demonstrators turned out to draw attention to issues from the wealth gap and human rights in China to demands for a higher minimum wage.
"The Hong Kong community has issues with housing," Leung said at a briefing yesterday. "The administration is a major supplier and major planner. I want to stress we have the responsibility."
The restriction on purchases by people outside of Hong Kong may be incorporated into land sale agreements, said Leung, adding that the measures will be implemented "when necessary."
Buyers from other parts of China made up 36.8 percent of all new sales by value in the first quarter, down from 37.9 percent in the previous three months, according to Midland Holdings Ltd. The proportion reached 53.9 percent in the third quarter last year, the realtor said.
The measures "are the right direction," said Ronnie Chan, Chairman of Hang Lung Properties Ltd., the Hong Kong developer with almost half of its assets in other Chinese cities. "There's no quick fix, but I can see these measures show the government's determination."
Boosting Supply
Swire Properties Ltd. sold a 6,755-square-foot apartment in a Hong Kong building designed by Frank Gehry, the architect of Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, for HK$430 million ($55 million), the developer said yesterday.
Hong Kong is the world's costliest place to buy an apartment, according London-based broker Savills Plc, which compiles an index of 10 global cities, including the U.K. capital, Moscow and New York.
The government expects developers to supply 65,000 private units over the next three to four years and will make available 75,000 public housing units, Housing Secretary Anthony Cheung said at the briefing yesterday.
Cheung Kong, the city's second-largest developer by market value, this month paid HK$9.63 billion for a site in the northwest Tsuen Wan area, 37 percent higher than the estimate by surveyors, in its first acquisition this year.
Falling Transactions
Transactions in the city have eased this year as economic growth in Hong Kong and China slowed. The number of homes sold in the first seven months fell 22 percent to 46,910 from the same period a year earlier, according to data released by the Land Registry.
Hong Kong home prices will probably remain little changed for the rest of 2012, Vincent Cheung, a director at property broker Cushman & Wakefield Inc., said in a briefing this month.

In brief: Fewer homeowners fall behind on mortgages
Fewer U.S. homeowners are falling behind on their mortgage payments, aided by rising home values, low interest rates and job gains.
The trend brought down the national late-payment rate on home loans in the third quarter to a five-year low, credit reporting agency TransUnion said Tuesday.
The percentage of mortgage holders at least two months behind on their payments fell in the July-September quarter to 4.09 percent from a revised 5.33 percent a year earlier, according to the firm, whose data go back to 1992.
The latest rate also declined from 4.32 percent in the second quarter.
The last time the mortgage delinquency rate was lower was the third quarter of 2008.
Within a few years of setting that mark, foreclosures began to mount as home values tumbled.
Bus seat belts delayed 45 years
After a drunken driver on a California highway slammed into a bus carrying passengers to Las Vegas, killing 19, investigators said a lack of seat belts contributed to the high death toll. But 45 years later, safety advocates are still waiting for the government to act on seat belts and other measures to protect bus passengers.
Over the years, the National Transportation Safety Board has repeated its call for seat belts or some other means to keep passengers in their seats during crashes involving buses. No requirements have been put into place.

Consonant Sounds
Additional Details
Category Description for Early Language Skills
Finally, a series that begins at the beginning! Like the Handprints series from EPS, this one starts with recognizing differences in objects; but it moves slightly faster than that program and goes a little farther, culminating in reading short stories. If your child enjoys working in workbooks, this 5-book series would be a good bet. In Getting Ready to Read children practice same and different; listen and follow instructions; practice place and position; sequence events; identify beginning and ending sounds; and match letters. There's practice involving mazes, tracing, matching, and coloring. I like that worksheets are varied even within skill sections to keep it interesting. Consonant Sounds ramps it up with identifying beginning and ending word sounds, learning the relationship between letters and their sounds, and beginning writing by tracing letters. The Vowel Sounds book practices both short and long vowel sounds. Children listen for, recognize, and identify vowel sounds at the beginning and middle of words, recognize rhyming words, and practice writing letters to match sounds. There are some hidden picture pages and free drawing activities besides the usual matching, coloring, and filling in the blank exercises. Reading with Sounds continues the progression with blending single-letter sounds into words, recognizing word patterns and rhymes, matching and writing word patterns (families), choosing the correct word from a list of like-patterned words and writing whole words for pictures. Children wrap it up in Beginning to Read. There's a short review of the letters of the alphabet followed by matching of pictures to beginning sound and words, writing of simple words from pictures, reading simple sentences and understanding their meaning and developing comprehension skills by reading very short stories (less than 10 sentences). As with all of the books, I like the range and diversity of activities. This is a surprisingly comprehensive beginning series from a publisher that normally produces more supplemental books. Each book is a hefty 96 pages long. After working through them, your child will be reading short vowel word sentences and very easy readers (think Cat in the Hat). This would be a good series to use with a precocious child who is too young for a more rigorous, formal program.

City officials breath a sigh of relief following Mifflin Street Block Party
Incident Type
Incident Date
Mifflin St.
Staff members of the MPD's records department indicate six people were given seven citations during the Mifflin St. event Saturday.
Here is the breakdown:
- 3 citations for Depositing Human Waste
- 2 citations for having an Open Intoxicant
- 1 citation for Casual Possession of THC (marijuana)
- 1 citation for violating a Glass-Free Zone
The MPD would like salute all who celebrated responsibly, and thank those who worked with officers to ensure a safe event took place this year.
Last updated 05/07/2013 at 9:49 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
There were no significant incidents this afternoon on Mifflin St. and crowd numbers were down dramatically from past years. The MPD worked hard to educate people, prior to the event, about the department's concerns and expectations. The hope was for voluntary compliance. By and large that hope was realized as the vast majority of attendees obeyed laws and ordinances. There were considerably fewer citations issued. The exact number will not be determined until next week, but it is safe to say the number will be down several hundred from last year when 545 citations were issued. As the afternoon played out, many law enforcement personnel were sent home. The MPD would like to thank the Dane County Sheriff's Department for assisting with the event.
Final arrest figures for the weekend's "Mifflin Street Block Party" are still being tabulated, but they're expected to be well below last year's total of more than 500 citations.
In fact it was quiet enough Saturday night that police were able to send officers home early.
Needless to say...city officials are breathing a sigh of relief for the way things went on May 4th. Mayor Soglin spent some time there Saturday, "There's no question that this was a significant improvement after the prior couple of years. It's a result of a combination of factors, not the least of which was that it rained most of the morning, but the efforts that both we made and student leaders made to emphasize the need for safety and being careful about the over consumption of alcohol. That made a big difference."
A police crackdown also paid off, "Plus there was a feel that was different. Seems to me that it was predominately students and some of the work that we did clearly discouraged a lot of folks who normally come into the party and have little regard to safety."
He adds, "Well there was a few folks who drank too much but the vast majority were light hearted and it was more of a picnic feel for the afternoon." Overall, he's hoping this sets a precedent for future Mifflin parties, "That we can continue to scale down the costly and dangerous activity. Maybe it can turn into a picnic day, where it's friends getting together and being cautious in terms of dangerous behavior."
Downtown Alderman Mike Verveer was keeping an eye on things Saturday, "I was very pleasantly surprised and really shattered all my hopes and expectations for the event. I was really expecting much larger crowds for this year."
But really it turned out to be a collection of porch parties, "In fact you might want to call it the Mifflin Street Porch Party as opposed to the block party as the street remained opened at all times to traffic. By all accounts, things went very, very well." He says the command post for police shut down the earliest he can ever remember from years past.
Student Ali Heller hosted one of the house parties, but was a little apprehensive at first, "We were really worried beforehand. We kind of waited it out for a while. One lady told us to turn down our music but beyond that we really haven't had a problem."
Heller and her other guests were sporting T-shirts with a picture of the Grinch that read, "How the police stole Mifflin." She says, "Mifflin is a school tradition and I think that should be carried on. We're not trying to wreak havoc or like close down the city or like have riots. I just think it's a day where our whole school comes together and just has an awesome time."
She did admit though... that the police were really cool and wanted to buy their shirts.
Madison Police say they're gearing up for May 4th, the day the annual Mifflin Street Block Party takes place.
But, Lt. Dave McCaw tells WIBA News, it will not be a sanctioned event, "We're not calling off anything. In the past we've responded to people/organizers who ask for a permit for street use that day and have an organized event. Like last year, nobody has come forward asking for that, so, there is no event. We just don't know what that means. We have 40 years of history to deal with... but last year wasn't a sanctioned event either. We spent a lot of effort with the officers that were there to keep Mifflin Street open, because there was no permit, and that was done."
In a letter from Officer Grant Humerickhouse (posted below), a Langdon Neighborhood Officer, he states the toll of the Mifflin Street Block Party far outweighs any benefit to our community.
He's also encouraging any residents considering to host a party in the downtown area on or around May 4th, should reconsider. Lt. McCaw adds that's the message year round anyway... in regards to illegal house parties, "If you are large and loud...you're going to attract us and you can look for citation."
McCaw suggests people look for other things to do the day of May 4th, "this event is gone and if someone wants to work the city on having an event for students in the city, we would be more than welcome to doing it but we will insist that it's at a location that is safe for all people."
Sanctions will be coming from the UW Dean of Students for anyone arrested or cited.
"Due to the widespread public safety issues associated with past Mifflin Street Block Parties, an annual student event that has traditionally occurred on the first Saturday in May, There will be no Mifflin Street Block Party on or around Saturday, May 4th in 2013. The Mifflin Street Block Party will no longer be a City permitted or sanctioned event. The City of Madison, UW Madison, area landlords and downtown residents, have all determined that the toll of the Mifflin Street Block Party far outweighs any benefit to our community. The house parties on Mifflin Street, with the rampant over-consumption of alcohol and the attendant safety issues will no longer be tolerated by the City of Madison."

City officials meet today to continue their examination of what happened during the 43rd annual Mifflin Street Block Party last weekend, and what to do in the future.
Downtown Alderwoman Bridget Maniaci says it would be difficult to prevent students from partying the first Saturday in May, "It's all on private property so it could very easily move to another neighborhood to other people's houses; does it have to be on Mifflin Street, probably not but, you're going probably going to see this more if there's a hard shut down on Mifflin Street than I would anticipate it just moves to a different neighborhood and I don't know what that solves really."
There were more than 500 arrests at last Saturday's Mifflin Street bash, but not the violence that marred the event a year ago.
A milder Mifflin Street Block Party, but there were plenty of arrests.
Nearly 400 were picked up and cited for things like underage drinking, open intoxicants, glass containers and depositing human waste.
It's estimated that 5,000 people attended as opposed to the roughly 25,000 last year. Some Mifflin attendees were disappointed, "It's comradery. By pushing the students back as opposed to out in the streets, we're losing out on comradery. This is was the student experience is all about."
There were a few partiers that were hip to the new rules.
Among those arrested, Badger Running Back Montee Ball. It wasn't so much bad behavior or alcohol that led to his citation. He was on the porch of a home and a resident didn't want him there, so Ball was cited for trespassing. Police say he was cooperative.
Overall, Police Chief Noble Wray was pleased with the outcome, "Seems like the level of intoxication is lower than last year, and the conduct and behavior has seemed to have improved."
Mayor Soglin says there are 'mixed results,' "Well, depends on what you measure. If you measure it in terms of arrests, it was worse than last year. If you measure it in terms of violence, it was better than last year." So, can the party be shut down in the future? "I'm not going to speculate on that until we have a briefing. I was down there for about an hour and saw too many arrests." Soglin, who says he's "disappointed" in the number of people who broke the law, is in Washington today and will be briefed when he returns to Madison.
A message on YouTube from UW-Madison's Dean of Students, Lori Berquam, is no longer on the University's website.
UW officials say it was removed in response to feedback.
Campus papers say that feedback was mostly critical of her message to not attend the

Thousands flock to Mifflin for the block party every year.
This year's block party is set to take place on May 5th.
Lately, they've had some big problems--including stabbings and sexual assaults.
That's why Dean of Students Lori Berquam decided to ask students to skip the event--and she's now facing student pushback for that plea.
Only yesterday she posted a video, saying to students: "don't go," to the annual block party. "I thought it was kind of ridiculous just how her message was not, you know.......be smart about it because you're adult," said U-W Student Meaghan Sass. "It's 'don't go'. It felt very, very condescending and very patronizing."
"I heard about it on Facebook," said Dylan Talerico, another U-W student. "A lot of people started sharing the link."
It's drawn plenty of student attention--and spawned a few parodies too. "It certainly got people talking, didn't it? Can't deny that now," joked Berquam. "I've got remixes going on, I think I'm actually going to be world famous soon."
The response prompted the University to pull the video down this morning. "The platform was really for it to be educational and to inform our students," said Berquam. "And so once it kind of reached beyond that point and it wasn't educational any longer, I think it sort of is not worth it."
Berquam said her message was really about keeping students safe, though some of the students we spoke with say they think it'll actually attract some to come. "I think more people are going to go now just to kind of spite her for this blatant lack of faith she has in her students," said Sass. "Like even I'm like 'hey I'm free next weekend maybe I'll poke my head down there and go'."
Berquam disagrees: "Whether or not the video itself would have stopped people from going from Mifflin could be a discussion," she said. "I'm certainly not going to at all buy into it's going to invite people to go to Mifflin."
Is the end near for the Mifflin Street Block Party?
A report from Madison Police cites violence and coast as reasons why it can't continue.
Officer Howard Payne says, "The thing that was very alarming, there were a number of stabbings, there were a number of sexual assault cases that came out over that event, there were a number of robberies that resulted in the event as well."
Mayor Paul Soglin has also said he wants the party to come to an end after 42 years.
It started at a protest to the Vietnam War.

This afternoon, I got a private message on Facebook from a skater I am good friends with, asking if I knew of any international competitions in August. She has been trying to find something that she could enter over the summer, but has not had any luck.
Funnily enough, I had actually printed out a copy of the ISU calender a few days ago ( http://static.isu.org/media/147039/1...-2014-2015.pdf ). There were a couple of events at the start of August but, unfortunately, they are on the other side of the world.
6th - 10th August: Asian Open (Taipei)
14th - 16th August: Skate Down Under (New Zealand)
Apart from Junior Grand Prix events later on in August, the first European events I know about are at the end of September.
18th - 21st September: Lombardia Trophy (Milan)
25th - 27th September: Nebelhorn Trophy (Oberstdorf)
But, there might be other competitions that I don't know about. Smaller ones put on by national federations that might let in foreign entrants.
I always try to help out this girl as much as I can. She is a really promising young skater, and she has impressed a lot of people this past season. And I am not just saying that because we are friends. The fact she is on the GP entry list for this coming season says a lot...
So, can anybody help?

JERUSALEM, Israel - A new poll released Friday shows that a majority of Israelis believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resist U.S. demands that Israel stop all construction in Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
Netanyahu met with members of his governing coalition Friday in advance of his major address on Sunday concerning Israel's plans for the settlements and his government's stand on the question of a Palestinian state.
The survey, conducted by the Maagar Mahot polling Institute, revealed that only 37 percent of Israelis believe the government should comply with Washington's insistence that Israel stop all building in lands the U.S. says should be reserved for a Palestinian state.
Half of those surveyed said Israel's refusal to comply would not lead to a major confrontation with the U.S., and 36 percent said Israel should not evacuate any settlements as part of a peace agreement.
Many members of Netanyahu's government have been concerned that the prime minister would call for a two-state solution with the Palestinans during his speech Sunday, something he has so far resisted.
But one Zionist member of the coalition, Zevulon Orlev of the Habayet Hayehudi party, said he was "greatly relieved" after talking with Netanyahu Friday.

I didn't like potatoes at all until I tried this simple dish. Sure, I liked a potato gratin, oozing with Gruyere cheese and heavy cream, or a plate of hash browns, but those are special occasion foods in my book that were better ordered at a restaurant, where I could be in denial about how I consume my spuds.
When it comes to the home-cooked variety of potatoes, I blanched at the site of a baked potato for dinner or rosy-red new potatoes with lamb. Long relegated to the list of flavorless ingredients in my mental shopping list, I rarely made a potato purchase at the market.
Then, last week's shopping led to an impulse buy. A bin of multi-colored new potatoes called out to me with their cheery hues, telling me to purchase them and pair them with a roasted chicken or a nice omelet.
The reality of a bowlful of potatoes on my kitchen counter was no such inspiration. Despite the excitement I felt at conquering my hatred, I felt no compulsion to cook them until I had eaten every last piece of produce in the refrigerator.
Cue the boiled potatoes. I had 15 minutes to get dinner together and out the door to my picnic date. Normally I'd roast these babies into submission and fold them into a variety of other acceptable vegetables, but this is all there was, and I was short on time. I unearthed a pot, tossed in the potatoes and a pinch of salt, and let them boil with just enough water to quickly transform them into something edible.
They were more than just edible; they were a divine transformation of lowly spud to buttery side dish! After popping a few of them into my mouth for a one-bite treat, I decided that I couldn't hoard these to myself. Though I could have eaten the whole bowlful alone, with just a pat of butter, I gathered my self-control and saved enough for my date. I tossed the lot with a scoop of Cilantro Pesto for ultimate flavor and packed them with a healthy salad for a light summer dinner.
I can't wait until I can buy more new potatoes this week. Food-hatred conquered, I wonder what will strike my fancy this week. Have you overcome any food fears or dislikes?
Boiled New Potatoes with Cilantro Pesto Recipe
- 3/4 lb new potatoes, scrubbed
- 1-11/2 tsp salt, plus to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2-3 tbsp Cilantro Pesto(or other seasoning)
1. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add cold water just to cover. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 8-10 minutes, depending on their size.
2. Drain the potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the pesto and toss to coat. Serve while still warm.
