Northants grind it out
Watch free daily video highlights from every LV= County Championship match here on ecb.co.uk this summer
Andrew Hall's 65 was the cornerstone of Northamptonshire's innings as they elected to bat throughout the third day of an LV= County Championship match seemingly destined for a draw.
Captain Hall, Stephen Peters and Rob Newton all made half-centuries side at Wantage Road as the hosts posted 385 for nine declared at the close.
Barring some imaginative and unlikely innings forfeits overnight, these two sides must now be resigned to a draw.
Peters top-scored with 75, with Shakib Al Hasan taking 3-75 and Alan Richardson claiming figures of 4-83 with an anti-climactic final day seemingly on the way tomorrow.
After two days ruined by rain, Northants resumed their first innings on 96 for three, with opener Peters on 38 and youngster Newton yet to score.
Peters went on to complete a patient half-century off 123 balls as Northants made a confident start.
Newton, his 20-year-old partner, raced to his fifty in more explosive fashion - it spanned just 59 balls and included a superb six pulled over midwicket off Richardson.
Newton's aggression proved to be his undoing when he launched Gareth Andrew to Richardson at deep square-leg to end a fourth-wicket stand of 80 with Peters, who was pinned lbw by Shakib in the last over before lunch.
Richardson, who took two wickets on the first day, had Zimbabwe's Elton Chigumbura wcaught behind by Ben Cox in the third over with the second new ball.
Hall became the third batsman to pass 50 when he clouted his 129th ball, bowled by Jack Shantry, behind square-leg for four.
He and James Middlebrook survived until tea, with the pair completing a half-century partnership in the first over of the evening session.
Hall had reached 65 before he feathered a Shakib delivery to Cox in the following over, while Middlebrook, who made a competent 40, saw his leg stump taken out by the same bowler.
However, wicketkeeper David Murphy and Jack Brooks made the Worcestershire attack toil with an entertaining ninth-wicket stand of 68.
Richardson comprehensively bowled Brooks, who had hit 34 off 46 balls, but Murphy stayed put for the rest of the day and was 36 not out when the hosts finally declared.

Israel's intelligence agency the Mossad is hiring Iranian refugees in the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq to spy on Iran's nuclear program, the French daily Le Figaro reported this week.
Quoting an unnamed security source in Baghdad, the paper said, the Mossad had infiltrated the region and was recruiting and training Iranian Kurds to gather information about Iran's nuclear program and target nuclear experts.
Earlier foreign reports have accused the Mossad of recruiting Iranians opposed to the current regime to carry out bomb attacks.
On Wednesday, Iran accused Israel of killing one of its nuclear scientists in a car bomb attack but Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said it would continue its nuclear path "without any doubt."
The U.S., Israel and other countries believe Iran is using it's civilian nuclear program as a cover-up to build a nuclear bomb.

On October 25th 2015, under the auspices of Oslo-based Partnership for Change, Citizens' Climate Lobby will convene a globally-networked discussion on the impact of climate change on communities, the role of citizens in driving change and the catalytic solutions to securing the livable climate future.
This initiative is the first in a series of dialogues that will establish a process connecting citizens to decision-makers, to ensure that what starts in Paris reaches all people and results in real, sustained, and successful outcomes for people and the climate. This dialogue series will lead up to the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize Forum.
The October 25th Day of Dialogue will include:
- Interactive plenary discussion with experts and participants around the world;
- Sessions featuring leadership from around the Twin Cities;
- Working groups focused on six work-streams;
- Discussion of the outcomes of work-streams in plenary session;
- Foundational meeting of the Citizens' Climate Engagement Network.
Sunday, October 25, is your opportunity to participate in the creation of a new global network of partners, working locally to empower citizens, strengthen government action on climate, and drive needed solutions across the world. Outcomes from the 25th will inform a high-level Chatham House rules dialogue on Monday, October 26, featuring leaders from business, government, advocacy, and scholarship.
Global Citizen Engagement on the World We Want
The UN Millennium Campaign has invited Citizens' Climate Lobby to bring the Pathway to Paris project to their World We Want platform. So, you can now join a globally networked engagement on climate policy at worldwewant2015.org/pathwaytoparis
We have now launched a global e-discussion on citizen engagement. The headline question is:
How can sustained citizen engagement improve both policy choice and human outcomes?
There are many challenges for institutions in sustaining direct citizen participation. There are also many success stories. Please share both challenges and successes, as well as your vision for how sustained citizen engagement can improve both policy choice and human and environmental outcomes. CLICK HERE TO PARTICIPATE
A full toolkit [PDF] for running Pathway to Paris working sessions will go out to partners across the world, through the UN system, in June, so we can begin to build an always-active Citizens' Climate Engagement Network.
This is Not a Game
2015 will be a year of unprecedented climate action.
The process set in motion by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is not a debate about opinions, not rudimentary guesswork, not idle speculation; in short, it is not a game. The work of charting a course toward a low-carbon economy that avoids dangerous climate disruption is a cooperative global effort to solve the most pervasive, costly, and threatening problem we have faced, as a species. Getting the solutions right will give us the possibility of a livable future for human civilization; failing will severely stress our ability to do so. [Keep reading...]

How Citizens are Co-Producing a More Vibrant Policy Future
The idea that citizens have a role to play in helping policy-makers to create good outcomes is now taking hold, as is the idea that government without citizen participation is not really as legitimate as government that is co-produced by citizens engaged in the process. At the IMF's session on Ethics and Finance, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby called for a new kind of leadership. He said financial and political leaders need to exhibit "heroism in the classical sense," which he described as a kind of othercentered understanding of leadership as service and which "leads to human flourishing."
This is how Citizens' Climate Lobby, the Pathway to Paris coalition and engaged policy-makers are co-creating an ever wider consensus on carbon pricing and our climate future. Click here to learn more.
Announcing the Pathway to Paris Coalition
As impacts from global climate change gather force and escalate, a network of partners across the world is looking to secure an effective agreement in Paris, at the end of 2015, to stave off catastrophic climate disruption. The "bundle of everything" strategy for global treaty negotiations has not given us a true global solution. So, Citizens' Climate Lobby is launching an initiative to bring stakeholders into the process of decision-making, build connections between organizations, governments, individuals and enterprise, and mount a coalition effort to secure an agreement to motivate carbon pricing country by country that follows these standards:
- A steady, resolute and rising carbon price.
- Internalizing costs incrementally, steadily and with no leakage.
- Simple, transparent, effective at reducing emissions.
- Building economic value at the human scale.
- Easy to implement: country by country, harmonizing across borders.
By adopting standards that allow each country to move forward and price carbon efficiently, in the way most suited to its context, we can build consensus on the wisdom of pricing carbon and so build momentum for the transformational innovations in business, technology, culture and society, that will allow us to move away from the trap of energy-producing resources that erode all other values.

THE CHATELAINE BED AND BREAKFAST is a vintage farmhouse on the 1791 homestead purchased by Thomas Ferguson, founder of the village of Pine Grove Mills. Like the story of the village itself, the 1841 house is " beautifully plain and blessedly simple " But it is framed and furnished to create a softer ambience "...built layer by layer from the life's work, dreams, and (even) disappointments of a people making and keeping a place called home."* On your arrival, a welcoming signpost greets you from a border of 90 year-old perennials, proclaiming that you are safely home. Foundation plantings encircling the house with their seasonal blossoms entice a brigade of hummingbirds and clouds of butterflies, and invite you to relax in the dappled shade of centennial evergreens. Winter's blanket of snow will inspire sturdy souls to etch angel silhouettes in a palette of pure white.

Last week's deep freeze left its mark on the Lowcountry in the form of slick roads and closed bridges and schools, but that was only the beginning.
When tree trunks and branches gave way to the weight of the frozen rain that accumulated on them, yards and roadways were scattered with debris that still remains part of the area landscape.
In Berkeley County, more than 737 tons of debris have been collected since the freeze, said Johanna Cooper, community relations manager for Berkeley County Water & Sanitation.
Dorchester County has picked up about 500 tons, said County Public Works Director Matt Halter. Charleston County, not hit as hard, has no major debris clean up under way, officials said.
Officials in Berkeley and Dorchester counties said cleanup could take weeks, based on the volume of debris they have seen so far, but homeowners should put their debris by the roadside as soon as possible.
"We want people to go ahead and put it out there," Cooper said of Berkeley residents. "It might take us a few days to get to it, but we are making our first pass through the county now."
Berkeley County cleanup crews and Crowder Gulf disaster recovery and debris management, an outside contractor, started making the rounds this week in the hardest-hit parts of the county: Moncks Corner, Pinopolis, Cross and Pineville.
Employees are working 12-hour days to cover the county within 30 days, Cooper said. A second pass will follow. In addition, residents who miss the pick-up can fill out a request at bcwsa.com.
"We don't want anyone to be missed if we can help it," Cooper said.
Dorchester County expects to complete its first pass by Saturday. It has been helped by surrounding governments and two trucks from Greenville County, according to County Administrator Jason Ward.
"The amount of debris in the county is similar to a strong Category 1 hurricane," he said, referencing damage from a cyclone with 70 mph winds. "As you drive farther (inland) in the county, you see significant debris from pine trees, hardwood branches and whole trees. The major challenge has been residents not able to get debris to the roadside."
The debris is heavy enough that the county is actively chipping and moving some debris from the Summerville drop-off site to a public works operations site in the rural county, Ward said. So far, that site and the two public sites have not been overwhelmed, he said.
Officials urge residents to use caution in piling up their waste and to not put it in roadside drainage ditches or swales.
Yard debris should be stacked in lengths of 4 feet or less and should not be mixed with construction or household waste.
"People should be very careful using chain saws and cutting trees that are under stress," said Berkeley County Emergency Preparedness Director Tom Smith. "Watch out for load shifts and spring effect, especially with stuff that is hanging overhead."
In Dorchester County, Legend Oaks resident Jason Couch, 43, was killed Wednesday when a limb fell out of a tree and hit him on the head. Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nesbit said an autopsy showed the cause of death to be a brain injury due to blunt force trauma.
Volunteers are willing to help residents who have financial or physical limitations to cut limbs or trees and haul refuse to the roadside, officials said.
Statewide, the S.C. Forestry Commission is urging forest owners and tree farmers to assess their situation and seek expert advice before making timber-management decisions on downed trees.
While fallen timber will eventually degrade, commission staff said there is time for landowners to discuss their situations with professional foresters. These experts can advise landowners on salvaging downed trees and the proper actions to take for damaged standing timber.

1. Introduction
The existence of robots in various types (walkers, manipulators, mobiles…) became very significant in the industrial sector and especially in the service sector (Youcef, Z., 2004). Due to the growing interest of the service robots, they can achieve their mission in an environment which contains several obstacles (Ulrich, I. & Borensstein, J., 2001) (i.e. in factories, hospitals, museums and even in our houses). The mobile robots, known also as wheeled robots, have the advantage of the simplicity of manufacturing and mobility in complex environments. The capacity to move without collision in such environment is one of the fundamental questions to be solved in autonomous robot-like problems. The robot should avoid the undesirable and potentially dangerous objects. These possibilities have much interest of the subject of robot-like research.
A Behavior Based Navigation (BBN) system is developed using fuzzy logic. The main idea is to decompose the task of navigation into simple tasks (Parasuraman, S.; Ganpathy, V. & Shiainzadeh, B., 2005). With this type of navigation system we should identify a behavior for each situation defined by the sensory inputs of the robot (Fatmi, A.; Al-Yahmedi, A.; Khriji, L. & Masmoudi, N., 2006). All actions (behaviors) are mixed or fused to produce only one complex behavior. However, a number of problems with regard to this type of navigation system are always in study.
In this paper, we study the use of the reinforcement learning algorithm, Q-learning, to answer the question of coordination between the behaviors. The motivation of this study is as follows: Q-learning is a simulation- based stochastic technique which provides a way to relate state, action and reward through Q-value in the look up table. In real application, a controller simply searches the look up table and chooses the best-valued decision, no need to perform a complex on-line computation. Hence, the real time requirement of decision can be met in this way.
However, the dynamic coordination between behaviors is a large space Markov decision process (MDP) when the practical application involves a large number of behaviors; this is due to the exponential increase in the number of admissible states with the number of behaviors. In this situation, Q-learning will encounter two main problems. First, learning the Q-value in tabular form may be infeasible because of the excessive amount of memory needed to store the look up table. Second, because the Q-value only converges after each state has been visited multiple times, random exploration policy of Q-learning will result in excessive slowness in convergence. In this study, we solve the above large space Q-learning problems by taking advantage of fuzzy logic techniques.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: related researches on Fuzzy Behavior Based Navigation are reviewed in Section 2. Section 3 gives the basic principle of Reinforcement Learning (RL) (i.e. Q-learning). Simulation and experimental results are given in Section 4. Section 5 concludes the paper.
2. Fuzzy Behavior Based Navigation
Fuzzy logic is very much used for the control in the robotics field (Das, T. & Kar, I., 2006; Antonelli, G.C. & Fusco, S.G., 2007; Dongbing, G. & Huosheng, H.,2007). The basic idea in the fuzzy logic is to imitate the capacity of reasoning and decision making from the human been, using uncertainties and/or unclear information. In fuzzy logic the modeling of a system is ensured by linguistic rules (or fuzzy rules) between the input and output variables (Fatmi, A.; Al-Yahmedi, A.; Khriji, L. & Masmoudi, N., 2006; Aguirre, E. & Gonzalez, A., 2000 ). A fuzzy rule can be described by:
All input and output variables (i.e. goal, speed, and rotation) have degree of memberships in their membership functions (ex: goal: far, right… speed: large, medium, zero… and rotation: right, zero…). For the behavior based navigation, the problem is decomposed into independent and simpler behaviors (go to goal, avoid obstacles…). Each behavior is designed using fuzzy logic.
Let us mention for example the behavior go to goal; the objective of this behavior is to guide the robot to reach a desired target point. For testing purposes we considered an environment without obstacles. To reach the goal, the robot turns right then left with a high, medium or null speed depending on the inputs which are;
Distance: [meter] is the distance between the robot and the goal.
Θ-error: [degree] is the difference between the desired angle and the current angle of the robot.
Figs. 1-2 show the fuzzy membership functions of the input distances and the input θ-error, respectively.
The two outputs of this behavior, which are also identical for the other behaviors, are:
Steering: [degree] is the desired angle for the next step.
Velocity: [meter/sec] is the speed of the robot.
Figs. 3-4 show the fuzzy membership functions of the output steering and the output velocity, respectively.
The goal reaching behavior is expected to align the robot with the direction of the goal. To achieve this behavior the rules, shown in Table I, were devised. By choosing different start points, Fig. 4 shows that in simulation the robot reaches the desired goal based on the minimization of the way to be taken.
The other behaviors are:
Obstacle avoidance: It tends to steer the robot in such a way as to avoid collision with obstacles that happens to be in the vicinity of the robot. This behavior is the most realistic in the mobile robot navigation; several works are interested to conceive it by different techniques: for example the potential field technique (Borenstein, J. & Koren, Y., 1991) hybrid learning approach (Joo, M. & Deng, C., 2005).
Wall Following: The motivation to conceive such behavior explains when the robot uses only the obstacle avoidance behavior; it will also consider the wall as obstacle. Therefore, the objective of this behavior is to keep the robot at a safe close distance to the wall and to keep it in line with it. The simulation results of Fig. 5 show the effect of adding the Wall Following behavior to the design. It confirms clearly our objective.
Emergency situations: This behavior tends to drive the robot away from U-traps and similar obstacles. Fig. 6 shows the simulation result of the emergency situation behavior. It is clear that the robot gets out from traps and delicate situations and reaches the goal safely.
The inputs of the supervision layer are the distances to obstacles as measured by the different sonar's fixed on the robot as well as Drg and θerror. The supervision layer is made up based on fuzzy rules as follows,
Where RU, FR, FL and LU are the Right up, Front right, Front Left and Left up respectively-IR sensors readings as defined in Fig.7. F is far and Goal Reaching is the goal reaching behavior.
These three behaviors need inputs to read information about the navigation environment. The Pekee robot is equipped by 15 infrared sensors integrated on its body. For reason of simplification of the problem, this work considers clustered sensors into 6 groups. Each group informs the robot on the nearest obstacle detected. Fig. 8 shows the membership functions of the distance between the robot and the obstacle i, D_roi (mm).
It is well known that in the field of mobile robots, the coordination between behaviors is a major behavior based navigation problem (Fatmi, A.; Al-Yahmedi, A.; Khriji, L. & Masmoudi, N., 2006; Aguirre, E. & Gonzalez, A., 2000). Several strategies have been proposed in literature to overcome this problem. Among them we can site for instance:
A first strategy based on the weighted combination between the behaviors. The velocity will be the weighted sum of the velocities of the behaviors (Cang, Y. & Danwei, W., 2001; Althaus, P. & Christensen, H.I., 2002). This strategy can be applied using the hierarchical fuzzy logic (Hasegawa, Y.; Tanahashi, H. & Fukuda, T., 2001; Hagars, H.A., 2004 ; Ziying, Z.; Rubo, Z. & Xin, L., 2008).
A second strategy consists on the activation of, only, one behavior in each situation (Fatmi, A.; Al-Yahmedi, A.; Khriji, L. & Masmoudi, N., 2006). As a result time and computational resources are saved.
We have followed the second strategy in our work. The reinforcement learning technique used to improve the suitable choice of behavior by exploiting the acquired experimental learning of the robot during its navigation.
3. Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a machine learning paradigm (Lanzi, P.L., 2008). It makes possible the solution of the problem in a finite time based on its own experimental learned knowledge. The basic idea in reinforcement learning is that an agent (robot) is placed in an environment and can observe the results of its own actions. It can see the environment and concludes its current state (). Then the algorithm selects a decision (). This decision can change the environment and the state of the agent becomes (). The agent receives a reward r for the decision . While processing, the agent keeps trying to maximize this reward.
3.1. Q-Learning Algorithm
Q-learning is an artificial intelligent technique that has been successfully utilized for solving complex MDPs that model realistic systems.
In the Q-learning paradigm, an agent interacts with the environment and executes a set of actions. The environment is then modified and the agent perceives the new state through its sensors. Furthermore, at each epoch the agent receives an external reward signal. In this learning strategy, an objective is defined and the learning process takes place through trial and error interactions in a dynamic environment. The agent is rewarded or punished on the basis of the actions it carries out. Let s denote a state and d denote a decision, the objective of this learning strategy is teaching agent the optimal control policy, s → d, to maximize the amount of reward received in the long term. Over the learning process, Q-value of every state-decision pair, Q(s,d), is stored and updated. The Q-value represents the usefulness of executing decision d when the environment is in state s. Q-learning directly approaches the optimal decision-value function, independently of the policy currently being followed. Its updating rule is (Akira, N.; Hiroyuki W.; Katsuhiro H. & Hidetomo I., 2008),
Where denotes the reward received at epoch t, denotes the discount factor and denotes the learning rate. Let Q*(s,d) denotes the optimal expected Q-value of state-decision pair (s,d). If every decision is executed in each state infinitely, Q(s,d) will converge to Q*(s,d).
4. Simulation and experimental results
This section will be devoted to the simulation and experimental results after using the Q-Learning approach to coordinate between behaviors based on fuzzy logic. Our experimental procedure comprises two phases: learning and testing. The learning phase is used to obtain convergent Q-values. In each learning step of the learning process, the decision is chosen based on the fuzzy logic results of different behaviors and the Q-value is updated according to Eq. (1). Here, we use the number of learning cycles to measure the learning efficiency as shown in Fig. 9. It shows that the learning process of our Q-learning algorithm becomes stable at around 60 episodes. One learning cycle (episode) is the learning process from the start point to the end of the horizon. The test phase is used to measure the performance of the system and to determine when the learning process has converged. During the test phase, the stored Q-values are loaded and the best-valued decision for current state and event is always selected real robot navigation. In all our simulations and experiments the learning rate is 0.2 and the discount factor is 0.8.
It is noticed, in both cases of Figs. 10(a-b), that the robot reaches the goal at two different starting points with avoiding obstacles. In Fig. 10(a) the robot follows the walls then it avoids the obstacles and finally it can go to the goal when there are no obstacles. In Fig. 10(b) the robot is putted from the beginning in an emergency situation (3 obstacles in the 3 directions: front, right and left), it could leave this situation and then it avoids the obstacles and finally it goes straight to the goal. The effectiveness of the developed navigation approach was experimentally demonstrated on a Pekee robotic platform. The real experimental results are shown in Fig.11(a-d) demonstrating the validity of our approach.
5. Conclusion
In this paper we have shown how Q-learning approach can be used in a successful way of structuring the navigation task in order to deal with the problem of mobile robot navigation. In real mobile robot navigation system there often exists prior knowledge on the task being learnt that can be used to improve the learning process. A navigation approach has been proposed for mobile robot, in which the prior knowledge is used within Q-learning. Issue of individual behavior design were addressed using fuzzy logic (i.e. go to goal, obstacle avoidance, wall following and emergency situations). The strategy of behaviors based navigation reduces the complexity of the navigation problem by dividing them in small actions easier for design and implementation. In our strategy, the Q-Learning algorithm is applied to coordinate between these behaviors, which make a great reduction in learning convergence times. Our simulation and experimental results confirmed that a mobile robot with the Q-learning algorithm proposed in this paper is able to learn and choose the best decision in each situation of its dynamic environment.

"The Goonies" Sequel is Confirmed by Director
Posted: April 6th, 2014 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Last year, Sean Astin was asked whether he believes that "The Goonies" sequel will ever happen. The actor replied that he's positive that we'll soon get a follow-up. "
It will happen,
" he said. "
I'm a thousand percent certain there will be a sequel. I will bet my children on it.
Now, TMZ caught up with director Richard Donner (The Goonies, Superman) and asked if he's planning to make another comic book movie. The helmer replied: "
If you call 'Goonies' a comic book. We're doing a sequel.
The original film was released in 1985 and starred Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen and Martha Plimpton. It was written by Steven Spielberg. No word if the sequel will follow the same gang three decades later. It's rumored that the focus will be on the kids of the gang with some cameos thrown in.

With most of the cast still acting after all these years I could see this being somewhat decent. Might have a hard time finding Data or Chunk but the rest of the cast should be a piece of cake. He'll even the Fratelli brothers are still around. Not too sure about Ma though :(

The original for the most part,had child actors we all knew
This will not work if they just throw a bunch of random turds in the movie hoping that the audience will automatically latch on to them
Have The Goonies disappear while trying to relive their glory days
the kids finally realize how cool their parents are and team up to search for them
If you dont want a dud
keep the new turds screen time to a minimum all together
everybody likes The Goonies
not just 30-40 year olds

God damn it those keyboard warriors/attention whores is beginning to annoy the f*ck out of me. I actually praised this sites posters on her a couple of threads ago (to late ass many of my post due to the big time difference). People where actually discussing movies again and I saw some mini reviews from some of you. f*cking nice I thought... There's hope for this site. Mink. Don't just brag about it my man.... If you can delete those annoying imbeciles like jb and Bullit (the same or not the same) I don't care... Both seems like great *ssholes!
on April 6th, 2014 at 4:01:31 PM
And please ignore them. Like when pornstars (and some "real" actresses I h-wood) try to sound smart in a interview... Your like yeah yeah... Keep to the f*cking/clothes off business you stupid bitch. That's what think about these types on here... Minus the clothes off and f*cking AND minus staying alive in general.

@TheAmicko: wiping the entire site would probably be a lot easier.
Anyway, this could be decent, but I doubt it. Donner is pretty much passed his prime and the first film was accidental magic. Don't think they'll get the same result twice, no matter how hard they try.

As for the Goonies 2. I'll believe it when I see it. It's like Ghostbusters 3, it's been talked about and confirmed so many times before its hard to believe it until its in theaters.

Dallas-based Luminant Power says it is applying to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build two new reactors at its Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant.
Luminant chief executive David Campbell said Friday the application is an initial step in a multiyear regulatory process.
The application is about 7,500 pages long. It seeks approval for two new nuclear power generation units of 1,700 megawatts each at the company's nuclear plant near Glen Rose.
Campbell says the reactors would combine to produce enough electricity for about 1.8 million average Texas homes.
The company says no specific construction costs are available yet. Glen Rose is about 50 miles south of Fort Worth.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Genentech is paying Array BioPharma $28 million up front as part of a cancer drug deal focused on developing both firms' small molecule checkpoint kinase 1 (ChK-1) programs. Genentech's own Phase I-stage compound GDC-0425 (RG7602), and Array's IND-ready candidate ARRY-575, will be included in the collaboration.
Genentech and Array have been working together since 2004 on specific oncology programs and progressed an AKT inhibitor GDC-0068 into clinical development in 2010. Under terms of the new ChK-1 agreement Genentech will be responsible for all clinical development and commercialization activities, and Array could receive clinical and commercial milestone payments of up to $685 million, plus double-digit sales royalties.
Array is focused on the development of targeted small molecule drugs against cancer and inflammatory disease candidates. The firm's clinical pipeline is headed by the Her2/EGFR targeting candidate ARRY-534, which is in Phase II trials against solid tumors, and a KSP-targeting drug ARRY-520, also in Phase II trials against acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma. Array's clinical pipeline also includes anticancer candidates targeting Her2 (ARRY-380) , and P38/Tie-2 (ARRY-614), which are in Phase I development against breast cancer and myelodysplastic syndrome, respectively.
In July Aslan Pharmaceuticals negotiated global rights to develop ARRY-543 through proof-of-concept trials. Under terms of the agreement the firm will initially develop the drug for gastric cancer.
Array's deal with Aslan followed just a month after it confirmed having to cut 20% of its workforce as part of a restructuring plan it hopes will reduce cash burn by $20 million during fiscal 2012. At the time the firm said it intends to push on with development of ARRY-520, ARRY-614, and MEK162, a MEK inhibitor anticancer candidate that is being developed in collaboration with Novartis.

Haddonfield artist Natalie Italiano is painting a documentary.
Her "100 Portraits of American Teenagers" is a kinetic collection of close-ups - on canvas and online - of local high school students.
"I plan to do a gallery show and a book as well," says Italiano, 57, whose subjects also write about themselves. Their musings, and digital images of her portraits, can be seen at www.natalieitaliano.blogspot.com.
I met Italiano at Repenning Fine Arts in Audubon, a school and studio that has supported the project since she started it in September 2010. Alongside four other painters seeking to perfect their technique, the artist will create a portrait of Natasha Santiago.

"Well, that's the definition, right? His father was white, his mother was black. I think." I scratched my head. "Maybe he's a quadroon ." Melissa rolled her […]
The NAACP's 100th Anniversary: What's the Future Hold for the Granddaddy of Civil Rights Groups?
This week, the most venerable of civil rights organizations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, more commonly known as the NAACP, turns 100 years old. Founded on Abraham Lincoln's 100th birthday (February 12th, 1809), the organization had a controversial start. The organization was born out of what started as an effort by […]

Tifway Bermuda Sod
There are no products matching the selection.
Tifway is the traditional standard for golf, sport, and lawns. Less expensive to maintain than TifSport.
(a.k.a. T-419, Tifton 419, Tif419, 419 Bermuda)
Cynodon transvaalensis × C. dactylon
Tifway Bermuda sod features at-a-glance:
Tifway Bermuda sod is ideal for:
Tifway Bermuda sod has these further characteristics:
- Tifway Bermuda turfgrass grows best in hot climates and may become dormant after frost, but recovers quickly when temperatures warm.
- Tifway Bermuda lawns are drought tolerant; withstanding drought by going into dormancy until sufficient rainfall (irrigation) resumes.
- With proper maintenance/management, Tifway Bermuda turfgrass provides fast recuperative rates from traffic and wear.
- Tifway Bermuda turfgrass exhibits dense growth and, when properly maintained, competes with the presence of many turf weeds.
- With proper maintenance, Tifway Bermuda turfgrass demonstrates tolerance to or quick recovery from pest damage.
- Tifway Bermuda turfgrass can tolerate relatively high soil and water salt concentrations.
- Tifway can be installed as dormant sod.
- Tifway Bermuda lawns can be mowed with a reel or a rotary lawn mower. We carry Allett reel lawn mowers for the best cut.
- For more than 50 years (until the release of new, improved Bermudas like TifGrand™), Tifway provided superior quality and turfgrass performance. Because Tifway is not protected by patent, it has become a commodity product of inconsistent quality in the sod industry, but at Super-Sod, we establish our fields from true Tifway stock.
- Tifway Bermuda turfgrass is only reproduced vegetatively. Tifway seed is not available for starting Tifway bermuda grass lawns.

Campsite at Santa's Land park deniedAugust 23,2014Campsite at Santas
Land park denied
PUTNEY The town of Putney has turned down a request by the owner of a holiday-themed park to add a campsite to the property as she deals with an animal cruelty charge and bankruptcy proceedings.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the Putney Development Review Board rejected the application Tuesday for an eight-tent campsite at Santas Land, after owner Lillian Billewicz failed to show up at a meeting with more documentation.
Billewicz and property caretaker Brian Deistler, have pleaded not guilty to animal cruelty charges related to the alleged malnutrition and mistreatment of animals at the park.

As we've seen plenty of times in years past the first few weeks of the season aren't necessarily an example of how every team in the NBA is going to play for the remainder of the season. In fact, last year we saw the Boston Celtics make it to the Eastern Conference Finals despite an atrocious 4-8 start.
That being said, the same is true for teams who over-perform at the beginning of the season. Last year's Philadelphia 76ers ran out to a 10-3 start and had the league's best offense and defense a full three weeks into the season before falling back to Earth, barely finishing above .500 and losing in the second round of the playoffs.
There are quite a few teams we can look at and pretty much write off right out of the gate. It's pretty easy to look at the Golden State Warriors, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Bobcats and rule them out as title contenders.
At the same time, there are a few teams that are hovering around .500 that can't be ruled out until their best player's left leg falls off, which of course includes the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.
With a quick look at some of the more modest starting teams it's a pretty easy sell, but some of the teams starting hotter might need a longer, harder look. So let's do just that, making the cutoff point at at least three games above .500 to be considered a "hot starting" team.
All stats are as of November 26th, 2012.

Jdun is back boys!!
Got back from Afghanistan a month back. Tried to keep up with the sport. Don't think I watched a live ppv since Randy retired. I've watched everything online and on demand. The biggest shocker for me was JDS beating Cain so quick. I think Cain is still the best fighter in the world, but he has to beat Junior to get that distinction. I am upset we aren't seeing Overeem vs JDS, I think Overeem is JDS' nightmare opponent.
Jon Jones is unbeatable right now. Henderson has no shot. Anyone else find it odd that the old team quest guys get better with age. Hendo, Chael, Randy. Hgh? Watch Henderson in Pride and watch him now, he's a different fighter. I thought him and Shogun put on the best fight in UFC history. It was a draw, Shogun won round 3, 10-8 no question. I wanted another round, unreal.
As much as I hate Chael, he is only getting better. He will end Andersons fantastic run.
GSP get healthy please! Rory MCDonald, wow dude is great! NH gotta be his best.
That's all I got for now, good to be back. RIP to all the fallen heroes out there and a personal RIP to SGT Dimarco
Are none of the original members from 2006 left on this site lol
Nice to see you back man. Glad you got home safe.
I laughed when I saw this thread because I was just wondering the other day about all of the old "regulars" that used to post here.
Glad to see you got back safe.
I actually think the welterweight division is more interesting without St. Pierre in the picture. Fights have actually been competitive and unpredictable. I fear once he comes back that it will just be like it used to be with an assembly line waiting to drop a decision to him. I'm sure I'm in the minority that has that mind set.
I agree about Sonnen. If he doesn't get too ahead of himself again, he will probably win a decision against Silva.
I'm not sure about Velasquez beating Dos Santos. Dos Santos is an excellent striker and is well balanced with speed and power, meaning he doesn't lack either. His take down defense and underrated ground game make him a complete fighter, and I don't see a bad match up for him in the heavyweight division. Of course their first fight left more to be desired. Who knows how a rematch will go if Velasquez doesn't get caught early. He's very persistent with his take downs if the stand up game isn't working for him.
Good to have you back! Always happy to see posters from my era still around.
As for JDS, he is a tough matchup for Cain. But I think if Cain can push the pace and use his own solid strikes mixed with his takedowns he could cause him trouble. You don't think Overeem beats JDS? That Brock fight was sooooo predictable, that was even money too right?
JDS and Cain probably are the hardest match ups for each other. They are both just so well rounded and I could see them being 1 and 2 in the division for a while. I think the winner of their rematch is truly the best heavyweight today. I wanna see how Dos Santos works off his back against Velasquez so hopefully we see Cain get a take down. People keep hyping Junior's ground game up, but it's actual level is still a mystery. Cain's ground game speaks for itself. Him nearly merging Antonio Silva's face into the octagon mat is only one example. After their fight, I'd like to see Cormier give one of them a go after a few more fights.
I'd say Overeem technically has better stand up than Dos Santos, but he seems to be significantly slower in my opinion. That muscle mass won't help him against an agile fighter like Junior if he wants to stand. Overeem has been knocked out on more than one occasion so his chin isn't exactly granite, while Junior on the other hand, has hard and quick punches that are pretty accurate for the most part. That's what makes me lean toward Junior. I could be wrong, and it wouldn't surprise me if Overeem did beat him standing, he does have K1 level striking after all, but it's a theory of mine about the speed.
Yeah, that fight should have been a lock for most people. Brock was in over his head. I have to give him credit for stepping in there, though. The guy has been through a lot.
Seems like you have kept up just fine ;)....agree with almost everything except that JDS will beat cain again and sonnen will never beat anderson! But yeah the rest seems right^^
ive been away for a while...i dont think many remember me but who cares lol, i dont have time anymore to post but i always find some time to visit the forum and just lurk =D
Overeem is just so big and uses leg kicks and knees and great clinch work. JDS has better hands and more KO one punch power. That fight will be epic.
And I just don't see what Silva can do different against Sonnen. Someone tell me, cuz I dunno.
I thought Frankie did enough to hold on to the belt.
Aldo is the best fighter 155 or under. He could hold both belts. He is top 3 p4p maybe #1.
I HATE Cruz, rooting for Faber to get that belt eventually.
Welcome back!
Wuddup! You got some catching up to do! Which means a 24 pack some pizza and invite some peeps over. I remember your avatar distinctively, but never recognized it as Shogun til now...lolz!

Note: This is the sixth story in a series of six with a Texas angle on the NFL draft to be held this weekend.
HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Texans' choice in the first round of Saturday's NFL draft is: Michael Vick.
Well, not really. The Texans won't be involved in the draft and can't pick the Virginia Tech quarterback because they don't begin play until the 2002 season.
But that's not stopping general manager Charlie Casserly from pretending. He is conducting a mock draft just for practice.
"We wouldn't have to discuss the first pick, we'd spend our time talking about the rest," Casserly said. "If we picked this year, we'd take Michael Vick, realizing that he's a developmental quarterback. He's got a lot of ability."
The Texans had hoped to get a chance at a top quarterback prospect in their first draft in 2002, but Vick elected to skip his senior season at Virginia Tech and will likely go to the San Diego Chargers, who have the first pick on Saturday.
The Texans also might have considered Michigan quarterback Drew Henson, but he left the Wolverines after signing a $17 million, six-year contract with the New York Yankees.
Casserly still expects the Texans to benefit from the draft preparation even if they don't get to keep their selections.
"You can't hit a home run without batting practice," Casserly said. "The first thing is we will have to make a decision about every player in this draft. "If they get released this summer, we might want to bring them in for a tryout.
"If they go all the way, they could become a restricted or unrestricted free agent in three or four years. Eventually, we'll have to make a decision on them."
The Texans scouting staff has spent most of its time in preparing for the 2002 draft, but Casserly wants Saturday's exercise to fine-tune the team effort.
"We want to work together as a team, which is something we've never done," Casserly said. "We'll go through the two days of drafting, making trades and doing everything we would do if we were on the clock. That's experience for next year."
For the pretend trades, Casserly will assign a staff member to negotiate for other NFL teams.
It's been a leisurely experience for coach Dom Capers, hired last December to begin his second start-up job. He had a hurry-up assignment when he took over the Carolina Panthers and led them to the playoffs in their second year.
This time, Capers has had the luxury of getting to know his co-workers and make plans for his first season. He's even got workout schedules down to running and weight lifting planned for the 2002 season.
"Anytime you can practice, you have a feeling you've been there before and get to know the people you're working with," Capers said. "You have different philosophies so you get a feel for all those philosophies and where everyone is coming from."
The Texans will begin signing free agents early next year, and Capers is eager to begin workouts at the team's practice facility that should have one of four fields ready by February.

Phillippe Reichstul has taken over Globo, the Brazilian media group that has hit a rough patch. His stellar performance at Petrobras, the national oil company where he was CEO, made him a shoo-in for his new role.
It is hard to imagine a bigger career shift. Petrobras is a
lumbering state-owned oil producer, the country's biggest
company. Globo, is a privately held media company that grew
rich by mesmerizing Brazil with its steamy telenovelas.
Brazilians watch Globo more than any other network and this
gives the company great political power, particularly in
election years.
Yet it is not hard to see what Petrobras and Globo have in
common and how the Marinhos want Reichstul to help them. In his
short career at Petrobras, Reichstul...

Keynote Address: Quest for a Meaningful 21st Century Education
What would you do if you had the opportunity to create a teaching-focused university from scratch? How would you structure the degree? What would you prioritize? A decade ago, I embarked on a journey to create Canada's newest university: Quest University Canada. Hired a year prior to opening, the five founding faculty wrestled with what it means to educate someone in the 21st century. We questioned conventions and wisdoms about higher education, researched the latest findings about learning and the brain, and reflected on our modern world and what an educated citizen ought to know to be successful contributing members of society. Similar discussions are happening throughout most university campuses across North America, but we had an advantage: a blank slate upon which to act on these discussions. We were afforded the freedom to design a liberal arts program that we thought would achieve our goals and to build an entire university structure in support of it. The experiment has been on-going for nearly a decade, has garnered attention by topping the rankings of the National Survey of Student Engagement, and is serving as a sandbox for pedagogical experimentation that informs the decision of other institutions. What did we do with our blank slate? What did we prioritize and how did we set out to achieve them? What were the responses and the outcomes? What happens when these ideas that academics are discussing everywhere are given the opportunity to take form? In this keynote address, I will reflect on my experience at Quest and what it has taught me about education, learning, teaching, faculty, students, and the university system…
