Catharine Esther Beecher (1800-1878)
Catharine Beecher devoted most of her life to the cause of women's education, believing that women were responsible for the education and moral development of the next generation.
"If all females were not only well educated themselves but were prepared to communicate in an easy manner their stores of knowledge to others; if they not only knew how to regulate their own minds, tempers, and habits but how to effect improvements in those around them, the face of society would be speedily changed."
"It is to mothers and to teachers that the world is to look for the character which is to be enstamped on each succeeding generation, for it is to them that the great business of education is almost exclusively committed. And will it not appear by examination that neither mothers nor teachers have ever been properly educated for their profession?"
-- Suggestions Respecting Improvements in Education, Catharine Beecher (1)
Catharine Beecher was born in East Hampton, New York to the prominent Beecher family; more than any other family, they influenced American culture and politics during the late nineteenth century. Catharine was the eldest of 13 children born to Dr. Lyman Beecher, a Presbyterian minister known for his evangelism. Her mother, Roxanna (Foote) Beecher died when Catherine was sixteen, and the bond between this eldest child and her father became even stronger. The younger children looked up to her as the head of the household, and she remained exceptionally close to her father even after he married Harriet Porter the following year. Eight of Roxanna's children survived infancy; with Harriet Porter, Lyman Beecher fathered three more sons and a daughter.
One of Roxanna's daughters grew up to be the famed Harriet Beecher Stowe, the abolitionist who wrote the wildly popular Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). The book broke records by selling over 500,000 copies within five years of being published. Harriet Porter's only daughter, Isabella Beecher Hooker, also became a well-known suffrage leader, while her son, Edward Beecher, was a pastor and educator who became the first president of Illinois College and formed the first anti-slavery society in Illinois. Henry Ward Beecher, Harriet's full brother and Catharine's half-brother, was one of the best known men of the mid-nineteenth century: pastor of Brooklyn's fashionable Plymouth Church, he attracted thousands to lectures supporting abolition of slavery, temperance, and women's suffrage. His sermons were printed and widely circulated each week. He was also involved in one of the era's most scandalous events: he had an affair with Elizabeth Tilton, a member of his congregation and a women's rights leader. Her husband sued Beecher, but after a six-month trial, the all-male jury acquitted him.
These radical siblings were not exactly what Catharine Beecher had intended when she acted as head of the large family, which also often included extended family and many visitors, as well as servants. When Catharine was nine and her mother still alive, the family moved to Litchfield, Connecticut. Here she studied at the Litchfield Female Academy, taught by a groundbreaking educator, Sarah Pierce. Pierce had opened the school in 1792, with plans to only teach a few girls in of her home, but with an increased demand for education after the American Revolution, the school grew to a much larger entity. Pierce believed that men and women were intellectually equal, and young Catharine absorbed some of Pierce's revolutionary ideas.
While still in her teens, Beecher produced several poems and ballads that were circulated among local literary circles. She also had poems published in the Christian Spectator under the signature C.D.D. After reading one such poem, Professor Alexander Fisher inquired about the author and thus began a relationship between the two. Fisher and Beecher were soon engaged. Beecher not only was in love with Fisher, but also delighted by the prospect of moving to New Haven and the scholarly community of Yale. The news Fisher had died in a shipwreck on his way back from Europe was devastating. She mourned her fiancé and spent time with his family. While there, Fisher's brother began giving her lessons in mathematics to keep her mind off the great loss. From this point forward, Beecher vowed to divert all of her energies to the field of education.
With her sister Mary, she founded a girl's school in Hartford, Connecticut, aimed at training women to become mothers and teachers. Some of the subjects she hoped to teach Beecher had not yet learned herself: her brother Edward then was head of the Hartford Latin School, and she started taking lessons in Latin with him only weeks before she began teaching it. Her students performed excellently at the yearly exhibitions and surprised the many people who did not expect girls to do well. Beecher's school began to attract so many students that it was hard to accommodate them all.
In most female schools of that era, students were expected to learn little more than the fine arts and languages, but Beecher attempted a plethora of subjects -- and was keenly aware of the necessarily inadequate result. In response to the problem that she found herself encountering, Beecher wrote "Suggestions on Education." She explained:
"For the brothers of a family the well-endowed college, with its corps of professors, each devoted to one department of knowledge, and with leisure to perfect himself in it and teach it in the most complete manner—for the sisters of the family only such advantages as they could get from one teacher in one room, who had the care of teaching in all branches; and she asked what but superficial knowledge could be the result of such a system." (2)
She successfully sought donations and expanded her school to become Hartford Female Seminary, hiring eight teachers who focused on a few subjects so that each was taught in a "complete manner." Beecher's school gained attention, and she often had visitors who wished to open similar schools; many graduates of Hartford Female Seminary went on to teach in these schools. She also wrote textbooks used in her school and in those that emulated it. Even more unconventional than these educational innovations, however, was the introduction of calisthenics, for she also believed that girls ruined their health with tight corsets, poor diets, and culturally-imposed "fragility." Catherine Beecher arguably can be termed the pioneer of physical education for females.
After operating her Hartford school for eight years, from 1823 to 1831, she left it to a colleague and moved west when Lyman Beecher became president of Lane Theological Seminary, a progressive Cincinnati institution. Ohio was still a frontier, however, not comparable to Connecticut's affluent and educated populace, and Catherine Beecher's Western Female Institute soon faced bankruptcy. Her problems exacerbated by the nation's first serious depression in 1837, she turned to working on the famous McGuffey readers, the first nationally-adopted textbooks for elementary students.
From then on, Beecher traveled between homes of her numerous family and friends, supporting herself with lectures and books. The Duty of American Women to Their Country (1845) argued for free public education to protect the still-new democracy. She followed up on that in 1852 by founding the American Woman's Educational Association, which aimed to send teachers west to build schools to the developing frontier.
At the same time, Beecher also expanded the definition of education to include what later was termed home economics. A Treatise on Domestic Economy (1841) and The Domestic Receipt Book (1846) demonstrated that although she had become a traveling, professional woman who did not maintain a home, she remembered from her early years how much managerial skill indeed was required to efficiently run the era's large households. Beyond cooking, cleaning, and other work (without electrical appliances), her definition of essential household knowledge also included the maintenance of good health. Her popular sister Harriet joined her in updating these views with The American Woman's Home (1869).
Catharine Beecher not only did not join her sisters in support of the suffrage movement, but even wrote against it in The True Remedy for the Wrongs of Women and Woman Suffrage and Woman's Profession (1871). She was far too conservative to have ever endorsed the ordination of women into the clergy, but she probably was aware at some deeper level that had she been a boy, she would have joined her brothers in the clergy. Because she could not do that, she sublimated the energy that propelled her and became an unofficial preacher to women. Her books preached a moralistic, even anti-modern, message; she advocated self-sacrifice, modesty, and frugality along with hints on baby care and cooking. She portrayed home and school as omnipotent societal forces, so important that women should limit their lives to them.
Although she could be considered elderly in the 1860s and 1870s, Beecher returned to brief teaching stints, probably seeking both income and an established position. She died at 77, deeply embarrassed by the recent scandals attached to her half-brother Henry. Despite her advocacy of good health, Catherine Beecher nonetheless suffered numerous nervous collapses and was a patient in more than a dozen sanitariums during her lifetime. The repression of ability that her culture imposed on her finally came to an end while she was living with her brother Thomas in Elmira, New York. She lectured to the young women of Elmira College and probably suffered a stroke; she is buried there.

At my local gun shop they've got these 2 guns setting side by side. Besides a few cosmetic differences what are the advantages of one over the other?

USPc- Cocked and locked capability. Several different choices in controls (ie decock/safety, safety only, decock only, double action only- and you can chose which side the control lever is on). As a result, there are 9 variants, which are not to be confused with the P2000' variants
I don't know all the configurations for the USP's off the top of my head.
P2000- Changeable back straps, "improved" ergonomics (subjective). Three Variants:
V1- DA/SA with decock
V2 LEM with decock- this is not available in the US
V3 LEM no decock
Both the USPc and P2K accept the same magazine.
Hope this answers your question, and I am sure other members will post more info.
December 29, 2006, 08:32 AM
Does one seem to have a better trigger than the other? Also, is one generally considered more accurate than the other?
December 29, 2006, 12:25 PM
As far as accuracy, that is all on the user...both are capable of phenominal accuracy! I have a few of HK's and at this point, I need one w/ the LEM trigger :D YMMV ;) Depending on what you're use to, HK offers enough variety to suit your needs
December 29, 2006, 04:04 PM
Thank you, guys. You have helped!:)

When It Comes to Exercise LPs, Comely Carol Hensel Has a Leg Up on the Competition
When an LP cut by an unknown artist and released by a little-known label begins bulleting its way up the charts—from No. 182 in Billboard to No. 56 in just 10 weeks—something's stirring. Perhaps the sound that will turn back the New Wave? Or is it this year's version of the Bay City Rollers? Well, in Carol Hensel's case what's stirring seems to be the proverbial thin soul inside every fat body. Enough chubbies have shelled out $8.98 to make Carol's Dancersize—seven tracks of middle-of-the-road instrumentals overlaid with her exhortations—the first exercise album to crack the Top 100.
Unlike the choreographed aerobic dancing classes that fitness guru Jacki Sorensen has franchised around the country, Hensel's dancersizes are simple (sit-ups, side-stretches, knee lifts and the like), cheap (the only expense is the album price) and private (they can be performed at home as easily as at a studio). In short, the LP offers little new in the way of exercise routines, but it is a phenomenon of packaging and promotion.
According to Hensel, a 27-year-old dancer and part-time exercise instructor from Ohio, similar albums haven't made the grade "because the music wasn't hip." Dancersize includes instrumental versions of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" and Peter Allen's "I Go to Rio." Hensel's instructions ("Let's warm it up, stretch, arch your back..."), which correspond to a 20-page illustrated booklet that comes with the album, are delivered over the unrelentingly upbeat tunes but never overwhelm them. "I don't shout, 'C'mon ladies!' " she says. "I've never thought of myself as the jock type."
Indeed, fitness buffs may find Dancersize less than challenging. Hensel, who first tried the routines on 500 women at the Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio YWCA, makes no apologies. "I wanted the exercises to be uncomplicated," she says. "I'm like everyone else—basically lazy."
The idea for Dancersize came from Joey Porrello, president of the Cleveland-based Our Gang Entertainment, Inc. He scouted most of Ohio before picking Hensel as his pitchwoman. "We are promoting her the same way we would a rock star," he explains. Rather than buy advertising, Porrello hyped the Vintage Record Co. release through newspaper articles which led to air time on more than 60 radio stations around the country. "I was in the right place at the right time," reckons Carol. "Usually they pick blondes from California for this sort of thing, not brunettes from Ohio."
The youngest of three children born to a gynecologist and a nurse, Carol began music and dance lessons at age 5. She gave them up in high school but resumed dancing when she entered Stephens College in Columbia, Mo. She was teaching dance exercise classes at the University of Akron and a nearby Y when Porrello found her.
At 5'7" and 120 pounds, Hensel has never had a weight problem, but she insists, "It's more important to feel good than to be skinny." She recommends neither health foods nor vitamins ("They are rip-offs"), is a lapsed jogger ("It's boring") and gave up bicycling after a dog nipped at her ankle. Her own exercise regimen: 40-minute workouts three times a week.
Carol, who shares an Akron apartment with her insurance executive brother, Raymond, is starting to work on her second album, due out in late July. By fall she may also have a syndicated Dancersize TV show. In addition, Porrello is lining up a string of endorsements including exercise clothes, spas and even those "rip-off" health foods. "I can be a hypocrite," she smiles. "It depends on how the product is promoted. Really, I'm a cynic."
Hensel's schedule leaves little time for her boyfriend, drummer John Beatty, who she admits is "a little resentful"—he has yet to score a hit record of his own. Carol's only regret, however, is how long it took her to become a public figure. "I wish I was doing this at 20," she says. "I looked a lot better then."

Pane e Vino on Warren Street in downtown Charleston has a Mount Pleasant sibling. Alfred Temelini opened a second location of his successful downtown trattoria a few months ago.
Pane e Vino
Cuisine: Regional ItalianCategory: Neighborhood FavoriteLocation: 201 Coleman Blvd., Mount PleasantPhone: 388-8808Hours: 5-until dailyFood: 2 1/2Atmosphere: 3Service: 3Price: $-$$$Costs: Antipasti $7.50-$15, soups $8-$9, salads $9-$12, pasta $14.50-$18, secondi (entrees) $23-$31.Bar: Full-service bar; half-liter wines; Italian specialty cocktails, beers and liqueursVegetarian Options: YesWheelchair Accessible: YesParking: LotOther: Special events; daily specials; www.panevinocharleston.com; Facebook. Reservations suggested on the weekend.
Like many second children whose baby books are filled with blank pages and whose photo albums bear little witness to their first tooth, haircut, words, steps and holidays, Pane e Vino "Mount P" has neither its own website nor its own Facebook page.
It even has a hand-me-down menu. But it does have a new look. It is on a property with deep "Italian" roots, if you count Pizza Hut with its Tuscani (sic) chicken Alfredo pasta; followed by Sette, the seventh restaurant and Italian eatery of Sal Parco; and now Pane e Vino.
The stylized Pizza Hut design has been painted a coastal sea-foam green. The interior has been cleaned, refreshed and redecorated. An Italian flag proudly waves in the breeze off Shem Creek, and the soft patina of plaster lends age and grace to a room that is only a few months old. Tablecloths and candles, Murano glass and Italianate sconces bring a pedigree of the Marche to the dining room.
Reconfigured seating and perimeter banquettes are welcome additions to a room once tight and clumsy in its flow.
A small bar off to the left is a perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail before dinner.
For a restaurant with pane, or bread, in its name, I would have liked to have seen an assortment of Italian breads in its basket. A soft focaccia square topped with a mix of rosemary and salt lacks the structure to mop up many of the kitchen's hearty ragus (sauces).
Temelini has put together a respectable Italian wine list and offers a house red and white wine by the glass ($7) and half-liter ($18).
An Amarone can be yours for $91, and the regional blends of both reds and whites will please amateurs and connoisseurs alike.
Begin with the well-constructed antipasti: a charcuterie platter ($12, $15) that can easily be your meal when paired with a simple salad of spring greens ($9). Choose from prosciutto, duck salame, cured wild boar, smoked prosciutto or Tuscan dried sausage.
Add the cheese platter ($12, $15) and a bottle of Hofstaffer's Pinot Nero and you have dinner for two or even three. And this is where better bread could play a starring role.
Pane e Vino also offers the more common antipasti misto ($14) with marinated vegetables, olives and deli-style meats. Not found on many menus around town is carasau con prosciutto d'anatra ($12). This cracker-like bread is called carta di musica or piano paper for its thinness and crispness. It was paired with cured and smoked duck breast and topped with nutty arugula leaves, cherry tomatoes and warm strips of pecorino cheese.
Vegetarians will enjoy an eggplant starter ($9.50) that features grilled eggplant that is folded over buffalo mozzarella and baked in a zesty tomato sauce.
Pastas are the strength of Pane e Vino's menu. Deeply flavored sauces, rustic pasta cuts, the Northern Italian luxury of the generous use of meats and the Renaissance influence that has lingered for centuries there make eating their richly flavored recipes a treat. It is here where heritage trumps locale.
Pasta can be ordered in half-portions. Served hot, our only quibble with the Roman classic spaghetti carbonara was the missing specks of black pepper, the "carbon" so to speak in carbonara.
A half-portion of "allo scoglio" ($9.25) bolstered a simple sauce of sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil and Pinot Grigio with plump mussels, tender shrimp and succulent scallops.
Daily specials also are part of your dining strategy, and at the time of our visit, potato soup, black snapper, flash-fried calamari and a burrata salad were offered.
Secondi ($18-$40), or entrees, offer simply prepared meat served with a side of potatoes, polenta or beans.
A grilled pork chop ($23) cut 1 inch thick was bolstered with herbs, drizzled with honey, spices and almonds and yet was oddly tasteless. Served with cannellini or white kidney beans that had been stewed in tomato sauce and spiced with fried sage leaves suffered from underseasoning and undercooking. There is no way to salvage crunchy beans.
The kitchen spins veal alla Milanese by using the purse-friendly chicken breast ($18) that is pounded thin, dipped, crumbed and crusted, and served with garlic mashed potatoes.
Steak ($31) and cioppino ($25; $40 for two) round out the entree offerings.
Desserts stay the Italian course: tiramisu, Italian-style cheesecake, tartufo, sorbetto and gelati.
Servers run the gamut from the overly chatty to uninformed. Our friendly waitress eagerly got the answers to all of our questions, but that experience pointed out all she did not know about the menu and its preparations. A little pre-service review might be helpful for the newer/younger service staff.
Owner Temelini was in the house at the time of our visit. He made a spot visit to two tables and left. It is disheartening to me to see an owner miss an opportunity to visit all of his guests and spread a little hospitality love to the people who pay his or her bills.
With family roots to the Adriatic seacoast of Pesaro and a maternal legacy to the foods of Emilia-Romagna and proven success on Warren Street, Temelini has a proven history.
His new addition to the family just needs some parental attention.

Like Heidi Klum said, "There can only be one winner of Project Runway," but on Thursday night's finale, Carol Hannah Whitfield, Irina Shabayeva and Althea Harper all showed impressive collections under the tents of Bryant Park.
Carol Hannah's collection, which she said was based on "gothic architecture and fairy tales," earned points from judges Klum, Michael Kors (glad he could make it!), Nina Garcia and the delightful Susie Menkes, fashion editor for the International Herald Tribune. The impeccable tailoring, which was mixed with structured draping, and her use of difficult fabric were what struck the judges. They also praised her for her use of color -- especially her 13th look, a sweeping teal gown, which was put together in the final days -- in a runway show of mostly blacks and grays. Their only complaint, the judges said, was that her collection was not as cohesive as the others.
"My collection is really about New York," Irina said before her portion of the runway show. The native New Yorker put together 13 looks based on her idea that when women step out into the city, they need to shield themselves from its elements -- but shouldn't have to do it with plain and tacky armor. Instead, she sent oversized knits, pleated, almost scale-like dresses, slick leather vests and big cozy coats down the runway. While Michael Kors cut her down a bit, telling her, "warrior woman is not a new character" in the fashion world, the judges said her collection was "well-made, modern, with an edge." Nina especially liked the detailed T-shirts that were revealed beneath the knit armor at the end of the runway. And Kors said she told a story with her collection and had the "best sense of showmanship," citing her use of helmets on her models. Their big complaint, however, was her obvious overuse of black.
Inspired by science-fiction movies of the '50s and '60s, Althea created a collection based on her vision of what women would wear in the future. Apparently, the future is super cool! The judges appreciated her connection to "the street," and remarked that she was the only designer whose collection included separates and sportswear. Nina loved seeing a pop of color in her green dress but wondered if she tried to hit too many notes in her collection. In the end, however, the Marie Claire editor said she could take Althea's extremely wearable clothes -- Heidi wanted some of the pieces herself! -- and shoot them right away for her magazine.
After many long pauses, Heidi announced Irina the winner of Project Runway. Althea was named the runner-up and said she may not have won but was "still a winner." But only Irina will get the PR prizes, a fashion spread in Marie Claire (Guess you'll be shooting black now, Nina!), a Paris vacation, representation from Designers Management Agency and $100,000 to put towards her line. Irina, who was nicknamed "Mean-a Irina" by some of her fellow contestants, melted into tears on the runway and could hardly speak. When Heidi called out her family and Irina said she'd never seen her father cry, even Nina Garcia was dabbing away the tears. --Aaron Parsley

As the temperatures drop, the needs among Carson City's children are on the rise.
"With the cold snap that we had this last week, my phone started ringing off the wall," said Peggy Sweetland, director of the Carson City School District's Children in Transition program. "Usually, we ease into it a little bit."
Sweetland is asking the community to supply jackets, coats and sweatshirts for the 240 children in the program, which serves students living in motels, campgrounds, cars or doubling up with other families.
"It's important they have coats so they can get to school comfortable and be able to start classes ready to learn," she said. "Having warm winter attire really helps keep the sick days down. Their academic achievement stays high if they stay warm, dry and healthy."
The program will be collecting coats through Nov. 30. Sweetland said she extended the deadline to include Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, when many retailers offer deep discounts.
"Prices are really good on that day," she said. "I got some really cool coats from that last year."
She said all sizes are needed from kindergarten through adult. New and clean, gently used coats are accepted. She asked they also be age appropriate.
With the standard student attire regulations at the middle and elementary schools, she said, sweatshirts should be red, navy blue or white. Pull-overs with no zippers, hoods or logos are required.
She said the need is immediate.
"As they come in the door, they're going out the door," she said. "The same day or the next."
Donations may be dropped off 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the Children in Transition, or McKinney Vento, office in the Gleason Building, 604 W. Musser St.
"Last year, there was such a great outpouring," Sweetland said. I hope this year will be the same."
You Can Help
Donations can be dropped off 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the Children in Transition, or McKinney Vento, office in the Gleason Building, 604 W. Musser St. Monetary donations are also accepted.

HARPERS FERRY - A few years ago, Deb Hale began noticing birds she had never spotted before around her Harpers Ferry home.
"I would have known a cardinal, but not a tufted titmouse, which is a very common bird here," Hale said.
She quickly signed up for the Potomac Valley Audubon Society's Birding 101 course. That was two years ago, and now Hale is leading her own bird walks through PVAS.

Baltimore oriole
Louisiana waterthrush
"It takes time, and time in the field," Hale said.
Even though Hale said she is still learning a lot, and has much more to do, she has led those with curious eyes and ears on bird walks at Murphy Farm, South School House Ridge Battlefield, Bolivar Heights, the C&O Canal and Virginius Island.
"It seems like the Harpers Ferry locations are popular," Hale said. "It's always held in the national park, because that's public land and it's ideal for birds with lots of trees along the river."
Hale described the walks as "very low-key." Her upcoming walk will be held Wednesday, May 29, beginning at 7 a.m. Walkers will meet in the parking area on Shenandoah Street, below the intersection with U.S. 340, and head toward Virginius Island.
No matter the previous experience with bird walks or knowledge of birding, anyone, adults or children, who is interested is invited to come along. The program is free.
"A lot of the birds we will just be hearing," Hale said. "Once the trees come out, you can't see the birds very well, so it helps to learn their songs and you can easily identify them."
During this time of year, she said, Baltimore orioles, orchard orioles and even the northern parula warbler - one of Hale's favorites - should be out.
"(The northern parula warbler) is a really pretty bird. It's a tiny bird with a blue back and yellow throat, and this kind of necklace," Hale said. "No beginner would know about it, and so that's why it is kind of magical."
She also said osprey and green heron were on the list to see during this walk.
Participants should wear sturdy footwear, bring water, bug spray and binoculars. Hale said she has a couple extra pairs from PVAS for people who may need binoculars.
The walk is approximately three miles long and will focus on the Shenandoah River front and old canal areas of Virginius Island.
Preregistration is required, and participants much sign a waiver of liability, as part of the route is on a railroad track.
For more information, contact Hale at 304-535-2346 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Information can also be found on the PVAS website at www.potomacaudubon.org.

The good feelings Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park lasted three minutes. Andrelton Simmons mashed a Kyle Kendrick change-up into the seats in left field at 7:19 p.m. A fan chucked the home-run ball and it rolled back to Kendrick, as if he required a reminder of his failure.
The warnings for these Phillies are omnipresent. The latest took the form of a 13-4 thumping by Atlanta. Before it even started, Ryan Howard was placed on the disabled list with a possible knee surgery in his future. The Phillies will play their most crucial weeks of this season without their $125 million slugger.

63 Food and Drug Law Journal 537-578 (2008).
As scientific understanding of human physiological processes has increased, so has the recognition that diet and health are closely related. The American population is constantly hearing media reports of scientific studies linking particular foods or food ingredients to various health effects. Such heightened consumer awareness of the correlation between food and wellbeing has not gone unnoticed by the food industry. Many foods are now being marketed as having health benefits beyond basic nutritional value. These "functional foods" claim a wide array of health benefits. Companies, however, may be too quick in their marketing, placing wellness claims on their labeling that science cannot confidently support. Despite government oversight of the food industry, unsupported claims may be rampant among functional foods because when subject to regulation as "conventional foods," these products have little check on claim validity for the most common wellness claim — the structure/function claim. Though the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires labeling to be "truthful and not misleading," this standard is undefined and thus unenforceable for food labeling structure/function claims.
FDLI's policy regarding the Food and Drug Law Journal online is: Only the Table of Contents and article abstracts for each issue will be posted to our website. Those visitors wishing to obtain a full text version of a particular article, or a copy of an entire issue, may contact FDLI's Customer Service Department by e-mail at email@example.com.

St. Catherine Hospital is Awarded Accreditation for Center that Provides Timely Treatment of Heart Attack
EAST CHICAGO — St. Catherine Hospital is one step closer to beating heart disease in Northwest Indiana.
St. Catherine Hospital's Chest Pain Center has received full accreditation from the Society of Chest Paint Centers (SCPC). St. Catherine Hospital earned the distinction based on a rigorous evaluation of its cardiac care services and for practices, guidelines and treatment during the critical first stages of a heart attack.
"St. Catherine Hospital follows evidence-based guidelines and nationally established standards of practice that have proven to provide the best outcomes for our patients," said JoAnn Birdzell, Chief Executive Officer of St. Catherine Hospital. "Becoming accredited by the SCPC demonstrates our commitment and dedication to providing the best care possible to the residents of our community."
As an Accredited Chest Pain Center, St. Catherine Hospital works seamlessly with area emergency medical services and internal hospital departments to assure that patients complaining of chest pain or discomfort are provided with immediate treatment that can help to limit potential heart damage.
Coronary heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. Each year, approximately 1.2 million Americans suffer a heart attack and nearly one-third of these individuals will die— many before they reach the hospital. Often people affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before calling for help.
"St. Catherine Hospital understands that time is of the essence when treating our patients who come in with chest pain or discomfort," said J. Patel, M.D., cardiologist and medical director of St. Catherine Hospital's accredited Chest Pain Center. "Our Chest Pain Center patients receive state-of-the-art care during that critical window of time that can make a difference in their recovery.
The Chest Pain Center allows individuals with chest pain to receive immediate medical attention with the latest, state-of-the-art equipment, medications and testing procedures to stabilize and assess the patient's condition. For example, clot-busting drugs can stop some heart attacks in progress, but to be effective must be given relatively quickly after heart attack symptoms first appear.
Chest pain is not something anyone should take lightly. Healthcare professionals at St. Catherine Hospital offer education classes and events to raise awareness so that members of the community are familiar with the signs of a heart attack, which may include:
Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes.
Pain spreading to the shoulders, neck or arms may also occur.
Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath.
Should any of these symptoms occur, don't wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1.

A Goose Creek man was caught stealing lumber from a construction site while he was hauling some of the materials to his vehicle, according to police.
Yesterday around 10 p.m., Elias Bryan, 46, of Harbour Lake Drive, parked a sports utility vehicle in front of a construction site at Pimmit Place in Ladson, where he stole lumber and roofing paper, a North Charleston Police Department incident report stated. The SUV was stashed with $10,000 worth of lumber and $1,000 worth of roofing paper, the report said.
A security guard saw the SUV parked in front of a house under construction. He took the keys out of the ignition and later found Bryan walking on the street with two boards on his shoulders, according to the incident report.
The security guard ordered Bryan to the ground and detained him, the report stated. Once police arrived, Bryan provided a false name, according to police.
While investigators were patrolling the area, they found a second suspect, Percy Jones, 31, of Abigail Street in Moncks Corner, and charged him with grand larceny. Police charged Bryan with grand larceny, providing false information to police, and simple possession of marijuana.

Lot # 1457 (of 1673) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1934-1944 Honus Wagner Pro-Model Coach's Bat (Wagner Family Provenance!)
Starting Bid - $2,500.00 , Sold For - $5,875.00
In our opinion, this is the finest Honus Wagner Coach's bat in existence. Honus Wagner H&B signature-model bat (predating model numbers), dating from the 1934-1944 manufacturing period. This bat was issued to Wagner during his coaching tenure with the Pittsburgh Pirates (Wagner was Pirates coach from 1933 through 1951) and originates directly from Wagner's granddaughter, Leslie Blair. Our consignor purchased this bat directly from the Christie's sports auction held in New York City on October 17, 1992. That auction featured thirty-two lots from Wagner's estate, all of which were consigned directly by the Wagner family, representing items personally saved by Wagner. At the time of its purchase, this bat was accompanied by an LOA from Blair; however, over the years the letter was lost. Despite that fact, its direct line of provenance is forever preserved by the inclusion of the original Christie's catalog, which features this very bat (the bat can be positively photo matched based upon the surface markings) as Lot 229. The bat displays no use, save for a few surface marks, and all of the manufacturer's stampings, especially Wagner's name, are deep and well defined. This bat was personally brought home from the ballpark by Honus Wagner and put in the closet as a keepsake. Because there is no use, this bat is graded only A7 (as opposed to A10) by MEARS. Coach's bats typically show great use, often leaving them with an unattractive appearance from overuse, as they are utilized in practice day in and day out. This bat did not get the extra three points for use, as it was not used, but in this rare case we believe that an A7 is better than an A10. With a coach's bat, it is a given that the bat was not used in a game. Therefore the ideal coaches bat in our eyes is one with great display value, not an example which is unattractive and worn from overuse as intended. This bat was personally saved by Wagner and preserved by his family specifically because it looks great. For a collector, in light of the fact that a Wagner bat from his playing days is essentially unobtainable and if a perfect documented example were available it would sell for six figures, a coach's bat is not only a more affordable alternative, it might be the only alternative. That being the case, we can think of no more ideal example than one which can with certainty be placed directly in Honus Wagner's hands, originates directly from Wagner's estate, and is in perfect condition. There are no factory records for bats issued to Wagner during his coaching days, but the specifications are consistent with the very few known examples dating from his playing career. Length: 35 inches. Weight: 43.8 ounces. Graded A7 by MEARS (5 point base grade, plus 2 points for provenance). This is one of only four Honus Wagner pro-model coach's bats listed in the MEARS census. LOA from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000+. SOLD FOR $5,875.00

Engineering and design firm Chicago Bridge & Iron (NYSE: CBI ) announced that Hyundai Heavy Industries awarded it a contract worth in excess of $180 million for detailed engineering design and procurement services off the coast of Norway.
The contract is for the spar topside that's part of Statoil's (NYSE: STO ) Aasta Hansteen field development project, the world's largest spar platform and the first of its kind on the Norwegian continental shelf. It will be capable of producing 812 million cubic feet (23 million cubic meters) of gas a day and storing 160,000 barrels of condensate.
According to Statoil, Aasta Hansteen is the start of deepwater development in the Norwegian Sea, and its development could also open up for tie-backs to other discoveries in the same area. Production is expected to start in 2016 and could run out toward 2040.
Hyundai was awarded a contract from Statoil last month to build the deck with living quarters on the spar platform.
Noting CB&I's experience in the region, COO Lasse Petterson said, "The award builds on our extensive work history engineering offshore topsides and our successful track record on the Norwegian continental shelf."

• Retrospective analysis of 108 patients who received indium 111–labeled murine monoclonal antibodies for imaging of cancer was performed. Most patients had operative procedures for colorectal carcinoma following completion of scintiscanning. Eleven patients had markedly elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels postoperatively without evidence of residual or recurrent disease. The laboratory method of measuring CEA levels was a commercially available double mouse monoclonal antibody enzyme immunoassay. It was postulated that the unexplained elevation of CEA was a reflection of the presence of human anti—mouse antibody (HAMA) induced by the administration of radiolabeled mouse antibody. A competitive assay for HAMA was undertaken by incubation of these patients' sera with a high dose of nonspecific mouse immunoglobulin prior to CEA determinations, and subsequent CEA levels were normal. The presence of HAMA was confirmed by a noncompetitive solid-phase enzyme immunoassay in 73% of tested patients who received murine monoclonal antibodies for imaging. Identification of artifactual CEA elevations is important in the treatment of cancer patients.

No. But I stumbled upon this gem the other day, and if Adobe asked me, I'd run it for free:
Is it an ad for Acrobat 9? And ad for literacy? Does Acrobat 9 help you read? Is it mean to make fun of illiterate people? How are they even going to know I'm making fun of them if they can't read? If they get Acrobat 9, will they be able to read that I'm making fun of them on my blog?

The Pinewood Prep campus was bustling with activity last week.
Boys and girls age 6 to 13 participated in activities ranging from tennis to dodgeball during the first annual Pinewood Sports Camp held July 8-12. Pinewood tennis coach Bryant McKee and girls' soccer coach Gail Osborne provided the instruction for the summer camp.
"We thought this would be a good way to help kids build a foundation for soccer and tennis," Osborne said. "They kind of complement each other with the footwork and everything. Once we started talking about it we decided it would be good to add other sports to kind of round it out."
Each day camp consisted of 1.5 hours of tennis instruction, 1.5 hours of soccer instruction, one hour of indoor games and one hour of recreational swimming with a qualified lifeguard present. The indoor games included floor hockey, kickball, dodgeball, basketball and indoor soccer.
The camp is not limited to Pinewood students. Because the school has two gyms, it can be held rain or shine.
"It's open to the entire community and in the case of rain we just move the tennis and soccer instruction inside," Osborne said. "We've had a really good group of kids and it has been a really good week."
Camp hours are from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Registration is $150 per camper.
Information on next summer's camp should be available in March or April; just email Osborne at email@example.com.

Destin, Fla. - LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva said one outcome of the SEC schedule discussions could be that the Tigers and Texas A&M would play annually in the season finale. LSU currently ends the season against Arkansas on the Friday after Thanksgiving week.
LSU and Texas A&M have long been regional rivals and Arkansas could end up the season with its more natural rival, Missouri, which joined the conference with A&M last season. Alleva said he was not in favor of playing the game on Thanksgiving Day
"That's a possibility and a subject to discussion in these meetings here," Alleva said. "It's a possibility. I think our fans would embrace playing A&M at the end of the year. I'm not a big fan of (playing on) Thanksgiving Day. Not in Tiger Stadium, any way.

Veronica King struggled with her weight since she was a child. She developed low self-esteem that had her avoiding scales, mirrors, and cameras.
As she got older, Veronica noticed she had increased difficulty walking and a slower metabolism.
Along with a family history of obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, she felt trapped in a downward spiral and knew that the only way out was to make a change.
Before undergoing laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (lap band) surgery at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC, Veronica was 270 pounds.
Since her lap band surgery, she has lost 150 pounds, more than half her body weight.
She fills her schedule by:
Veronica now has the confidence to love and believe in herself again. Healthier than she was before, she has the energy to keep up with her kids and be the best mom she can be.
"This journey to change my life has been the best thing that I ever did for myself. It brings me great joy to share my experience with others and in doing so to inspire them to 'get up and get moving!'"

You can trust my patterns to be professional, well written, and carefully proofread. My background as a teacher and later as an editor helped me in my goal to write professional crochet patterns, and I also follow the guidelines for writing crochet patterns set up by the DRG publishing network.
If you find a valid mistake in one of my patterns and point it out to me, I will refund the cost of the pattern to you! (Applies only to individual patterns, not collections.)
I learned to crochet at the age of ten but didn't get passionately involved with it until many years later when my son was born. I still love to make baby clothes and blankets even though he's not a baby anymore! All things tiny are what I enjoy crocheting, especially doll clothes and baby clothes.
I have created many of my own patterns that have been published in various magazines (Crochet World, Quick & Easy Crochet, Barbie Bazaar, and Dollhouse Miniatures). I have had 2 crochet books published: "Twentieth Century Fashion Doll Collection" (2006, by Annie's Attic) and "Playtime Jackets" (2011, by Leisure Arts).
This will look sweet with a doll such as 7 1/2 inch Riley Kish, 8-inch Betsy McCall, Ginny, or Madame Alexander's Wendy. It would also look cute with 10-12 inch Bethany Kish or an Effner Little Darling.
Feel free to sell any items you make from my patterns (but do not mass produce). Please do not resell the patterns themselves or make them available online. They are copyrighted.
Contact me if you have any questions or feedback! :)
I also sell on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrincessOfCrochet. My patterns are available there, as well as some of my finished items.
10 sc = 1 inch; 10 sc rows or rnds = 1 inch
Note: You can substitute #10 crochet cotton with a #3 steel crochet hook, but you won't get the fuzzy texture of the punch-embroidery yarn. Punch-embroidery yarn can be found on eBay and Etsy.

Johnny Miller to Serve as Honorary Chair of 2012 U.S. Amateur Public Links
Johnny Miller, a two-time USGA champion, will be the honorary chairman of the 2012 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, which will be conducted July 9-14 at Soldier Hollow Golf Course at Wasatch Mountain State Park in Midway, Utah.
"The bottom line is that Utah knows golf," Miller said. "I live about two miles away from Soldier Hollow and I wake up looking at the place. I practice there once in a while, too. There is nothing like the way people from Utah host an event. I am really looking forward to being involved and enjoying the championship at Soldier Hollow."
"The USGA is honored to have Johnny Miller as our honorary chairman at this wonderful venue in his home state," said Christie Austin, chairman of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Committee. "We are extremely grateful that Johnny has volunteered to assist the USGA in conducting the 2012 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, the first-ever USGA championship to be held in Utah."
Miller, who won 25 times on the PGA Tour, is widely known as an analyst on NBC television golf broadcasts. He won the 1973 U.S. Open with a record-setting final-round score of 63 at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club, overcoming a six-stroke deficit to defeat John Schlee by one stroke.
He also won the 1964 U.S. Junior Amateur and the 1976 British Open. A 1996 inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame, he is a longtime resident of Utah.

Bad Romance
"Hey girls! Do you believe in love? Because I've got something to say about it,
and it goes a little something like this..."
Madonna, "Respect Yourself"
Break ups are always horrible. They cause pain, recrimination and, at the very least, regret and wondering how you could have made it work. They're even worse when they're public, of course, and here I put on my Agony Aunt hat and offer my sympathy to the disillusioned healthcare members of the Ethical Standards in Health and Life Sciences Group (ESHLSG), who are rumoured to have split last week.
1) "This could be the start of something beautiful"
Oh honey, we've all been there. You really hope, you really think this could be the start of something good. So in 2011 when the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (the ABPI) joined forces with you all, some of the biggest names on the healthcare side (various Royal Colleges, government health departments, the British Medical Association.. Shall I go on?) it really seemed like the start of a new collaboration that could make sweet guidelines together. Guidelines about pharma transparency in its collaborations with Healthcare staff. You were excited, you couldn't wait to tell your friends all about your togetherness and your plans for the future.
But you need to be honest with yourself, even at this stage, does it not seem in retrospect that something wasn't quite right, that the ABPI were leading you on? Did you really put your organisation badge on that document without thinking some of the claims were a bit, well, off? Did you even read it properly? Freedom of Information requests lodged by researchers David Carroll and Beth Hall seem to show that the government departments involved caved to endorsing after late-in-the-game, persuasive phone calls from the ABPI. Rather than wholehearted support, a couple of email exchanges are more along the lines of "are we sure everyone on the front has actually signed up? If so it would look weird to be left out". Hardly ringing praise.
2) You tell the world... But your friends aren't so happy for you as you'd hoped
You've schmoozed, you've attended the committees and gotten to know each other better.... It's time to announce your togetherness. You decide to go for it and make that grand gesture - you publish a report.
But your friends and workmates aren't as happy for you as you'd hope. In fact they start picking holes in your relationship and claiming pharma has lead you on. Can't you see? Untrue claims have been put in your mouth, sweetheart, see it for what it is.
Bad Guidelines did, in fact, warn you. The whole group started because they could see the way you'd been manipulated, that the report contained untruths. There were claims that Pharma investment in medical education was a good thing, when in fact, it leads to issues such as more expensive prescribing. There were claims that a "robust framework" for clinical trial transparency was already in place and did not need to be overhauled. The whole picture was that everything in pharma is hunky dory okey dokey, when we know perfectly well it's not. (If you want a fuller picture with citations here's the Bad Guidelines breakdown of the reports).
One of your friends even goes further. They put their stamp on the guidelines but publicly withdraw their support and write an editorial saying they were disappointed. None of the claims the ABPI make in their defence really ring true. They claim they neither produced the document, nor led the way for it, yet that's impossible to tell because all of the proceedings have been held in secret.
That's right. There are no public minutes of meetings, no list of representatives at the meetings or their conflicts of interest, no information about who was funding the whole shebang. Members are reluctant to come forward with information about just how much they were involved and how the documents were drafted. Some of this information came out in bits and pieces in the last few months, but all has now disappeared again with rumours of the break-up. Pharma has always liked being secretive that way, honey, it would be hard to change them overnight whatever the smooth talk they give you. But really, wasn't that secrecy another warning sign to you?
3) Update Facebook status to "It's Complicated"
You start to see that your friends might have a point, maybe you're just too much of a romantic idealist at heart and you need to slow things down, talk things through a bit. For months and months, you keep the documents up on your website with a red "under review" notification. A "radical rewriting" is put on the cards for you to thrash out on September 25th 2013, but that meeting is cancelled after you have a heart to heart with your other friends on the "healthcare" side of the fence.
And you realise those two guideline documents are unusable. Nonsense. It's over. Time to admit it and move on. You put on a brave front. You tell a BMJ journalist you're through and put a joint statement up on your site:
"ESHLSG members have decided that in order to enable further progress and focus on these key issues, as well as involve other key stakeholders, the group will be evolved into a forum, led by the healthcare professions – our previous guidance is therefore being retired and the results of our survey work published in full, to inform ongoing debate. The format and name of this group will be announced within the next couple of months, as well as future events or work-streams.
Professor Tim Evans, co-Chair of the ESHLSG and Professor of Intensive Care Medicine, confirmed "Just as the debate around ethical standards has evolved, so to must the ESHLSG and the way in which it contributes to our understanding of these standards. We hope that future meetings provide an open forum for debate on key issues which can inform and inspire the relevant policy making bodies and stakeholders to continue to work together to drive standards and collaboration.""
But even with the brave smiles and talk of moving forwards, those first policy documents that you had so much faith in seem to have disappeared from the site. Are you pretending it never happened, too embarrassed? Don't feel bad, we've all been there and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Now some people would say that your relationship could never be, and will never happen. The people who look after the healthcare of patients and the people who need to make a profit from it for shareholders? Fuggedaboudit! But I'm here to tell you I'm not one of those people. I think as long as you take it slow, are cautious and insist on complete honesty and transparency then there are good people on both sides who want to make it happen. Just take it at your own pace and don't feel pressured into doing stuff you're not ready for. Don't be manipulated. Listen to your friends when they tell you someone is up to no good.
Then hopefully, one day soon we'll see the start of a beautiful relationship. But no whitewash. Honesty is the basis for all the best romances.
Stay strong,
Love, Tania

Passion's Place in A Marriage
Maybe I should stop expecting television to accurately portray life or romance, but I can't help it. Media has a subtle yet powerful influence on our thinking, especially on younger folks, that just makes me want to address the issues it raises. Fox's trendy new sitcom "New Girl," starring Zooey Deschanel, just wrapped up its freshman season. In the last few episodes Deschanel's character Jess breaks up with her boyfriend after having dinner with him and his ex-wife (something that was a bad idea in the first place). At the dinner she observed the formerly-married couple at each other's throats, … Continue reading

Lankan conflict spills over into Oz, racial hate rise
Two Sinhalese students in Sydney allegedly attacked by Tamils.
Sydney: An acid attack on two Sinhalese students in Sydney allegedly perpetrated by Tamils showed racial tension between Sri Lanka's major ethnic groups had spilled over into Australia, a community leader said Monday.
"It was a Sinhalese house that got broken into by these Tamil extremists," Sinhalese community leader Pryanka Bandara said. "It's definitely racially motivated."
She alleged Australia's Tamils were upset that the 32-year Tamil Tiger insurgency, which some of them had helped bankroll, had failed.
"It's their money, it's their hard work, that's getting defeated at the moment," she said.
Meanwhile, 300 Tamils rallied in Canberra to urge the international community to intercede on behalf of any Tamils still trapped by the fighting.
A spokeswoman for the Tamil protesters, Lavinya Theva, said the Sri Lankan government was carrying out a genocide on Tamils.
"We've been protesting all over Canberra, Sydney, all over the world, asking the international community to help our people," she said. "They need to intervene now because the Tamil people cannot be given to the hands of the Sri Lankan government."
Both the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have been accused of atrocities in the conflict.
The LTTE was fighting for an independent homeland for the minority Tamils, but after a series of military setbacks after the government vowed at the beginning of 2008 to defeat them militarily, the guerrillas said on Sunday they would lay down their arms.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska lawmakers have given final approval to adding a 30-day age limit to the state's safe-haven law.
The original safe-haven law was intended to prevent newborns from being dumped in trash bins or worse. Every state has such a law, but Nebraska's is the only one that lacks an age limit.
Since July, 35 children have been abandoned at state hospitals -- many of them preteens or teenagers as old as 17.
Gov. Dave Heineman was expected to sign the bill this afternoon. If he does, the age limit will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Saturday and Nebraska will join 13 other states with a 30-day age cap.
Five of the abandoned children have been from other states, including from as far away as Florida and Michigan.

As you would expect, Kenyon Martin wants to be back with the Knicks next season as he sees himself as a good fit with the franchise. The 35-year-old veteran signed at the trade deadline after general manager Glen Grunwald created a roster spot by trading Ronnie Brewer to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a future second-round pick.
For Martin, this season was about proving that his mediocre 2011-2012 season with the Los Angeles Clippers was a fluke and not the beginning of the end.
"They needed me and I needed them," he said of the Knicks at Monday's final media availability. "So it worked."
Martin insists he wants to return and had a "great" time with a "first-class" organization, but the Knicks need to decide if they want to retain him. Martin provided a solid defensive presence for the Knicks—particularly after Tyson Chandler suffered the bulging disc injury in his neck—but Grunwald will likely only have the veteran's minimum to offer the former first-overall pick.
"Everything was positive," Martin said of his exit interview. "They think I proved to people that I can still play at a high level. Never lost it. And like I told people from the beginning, what I was here to do was to prove that I'm a better personally as a basketball player. So I think I did that.
"I think I have to talk to my agent and we'll figure it out," he continued. "If it's meant to be, then I'll be back."
When asked if he would consider playing elsewhere next season if he couldn't reach a deal with the Knicks, Martin said, "of course."
"I'm not down with the sport," he continued. "Not at all. I still got a lot in the tank. I've got a lot to give."
Chances are that Martin will return to the Knicks, as he's a reliable bench player who shouldn't have much demand on the open market. Of course, he did experience some knee issues this season, so he shouldn't be expected to play 82 games when he's 36.
Martin averaged 7.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in 23.9 minutes per game in the regular season. Those numbers fell to 5.8, 4.5 and 21.1 respectively in the playoffs.

Vols Fan Gives Us 'The Butch Jones Song'
August 13th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
Tennessee has now joined the growing arms race consisting of SEC fans and songs dedicated to their beloved teams thanks to one John Cave Osborne.
The brains behind the UT fan website "all VOL, y'all," Osborne was nice enough to provide us with "The Butch Jones Song," a beautiful parody on Vols fans rallying behind the first-year Tennessee head coach as their guiding light.
Our two favorite parts of this music video:
- The verse on the ill-fated Lane Kiffin era (starts at the 1:35 mark), which goes "We hired Kiffin / Gave us the stiffin' / It's hard to pick / A bigger d*ck." Yup, that sums it up nicely.
- Osborne's portrayal of an Alabama fan (screenshot below). We have nothing against Crimson Tide fans, it's just funny.
Keep on doing what you're doing, Osborne.

Jiggly has perfect attendance
That doesn't really matter, IMO. If you only kept people because they were in the original one, then there are some problems there. And if you want your N, you've gotta make sacrifices. We all know the Mario characters can't be outnumbered.
That's why I said they need a newer one with a similar apperance.
Jiggly > N
The original 13 have NEVER not made an appearance in a game. Jiggly is just as important to Smash as Luigi, Ness, etc. But I don't see you guys talking about replacing them.
Pokemon series wise, yes, Jiggly is not super important. But she's made her mark on the Smash Bros. universe, and she's going to stay. I guarantee it.
Because she's not, dude.
When I say Earthbound.. what comes to mind? ... Ness
Mario series? ... Mario & Luigi & Yoshi
F-Zero? ... Captain Falcon
Everyone else are the faces of their game. Jiggly is not even close to reaching that level.
But in the Smash Bros universe, she's just as important. >.>
In the Smash Bros universe, tell me, who is more important? Olimar or Jigglypuff?
Olimar is the star of the Pikmin series. So what? Jiggly has been there for all three f-cking games. Every single one of them.
Perhaps Jiggly didn't deserve to get in Smash in the first place. That doesn't matter now, all that matters is that she's in now.
Olimar is more important. Olimar brings in more diversity among games. I'd take him over Jiggly any day.
i have no agreement with the "Smash Universe", simply because I see it just as a way to put characters from different games against each other and not a place with its own seperate values. Popularity is everything.
Which takes me back to my first point:
If you just want to have people there for the sake of them being the original, then that's just not right.
Same thing happened with Marvel vs. Capcom. People began flipping sh*t when they learned X wasn't in it (after he was in 1 and 2), but yet, I find Zero to fit the bill a lot better. Be accepting of change (if it happens), and it'll be better. I guarantee it.
