PETA named Citizens Bank Park its top vegetarian-friendly ballpark of 2008 (thanks, Sports Complex).
If I remember correctly, the Bank was No.1 last year, as well. And last year it won a Food Network award for Best Ballpark Eats.
So take a moment from all this trade talk and appreciate that Citizens Bank Park is an awesome dining experience.
0 Comments
ehh the food aint that great there… I guess in terms of ballpark food its pretty good, but it amazes me the number of fat slobs that go to games and just stand in Ashburn Alley eating the entire game… and they rather save their ice-cream helmet then catch a Home Run Ball..
Joe Blanton thinks the Bank has great food.
Well I did have an awesome dining experience there Sunday (it was a suite, but still …). I don't know – everytime I go there I enjoy whatever food I buy.
you mean that aramark ffood thats the SAME shit you find at applebees and tgi fridays and bennigans and all that other garbage? sure.
and if the phillies are so GREEN, then explain this to me: you know those "go green" bins they have at CBP now? they have differnet slots to put the garbage in. well, why is it that when you look into the bin there are no dividers? and that, in actuality, its all going into one big metal tub?
so in reality theyre "fake" green, if you care about such things. not that i do, i think its pretty much a scheme to market new products to people because they actually ignore legitiamte environmental issues such as deforestation and chemical/nuclear waste dumping to promote green dishwasher soap and "fake" organic products that arent actually organic because theyre made the same way taht everything else is made. hahahaha. jokers.
they do have good hot dogs, but dont even try to pretend, for one second that their good for you.
i suppose that those soft pretzels are one of the safer things to eat there, and those are quality.
it is good food though. i just acknowledge that whenever i eat it its not going to be healthy in any way.
The majority of live Phillies games I see are at Shea. When I get the chance to go to the Bank, I get there when the gates open for the food. I'm not saying that I would go there for the food if there was no game, but in terms of ballpark eats, it is pretty good.
Geoff that was intense. The Schmitter is delicious though, it would be better if they served Shmidts beer though
I'm not talking the Aramark stuff (the hot dogs aren't good).
The vendor food outside of Aramark (steaks, fries, burgers, Bull's) is all good. Obvsiouly there's a plethora of vegetarian options, so yeah. Maybe I should've written "when compared to other parks" after "experience."
tahts what i meant, tim, the private vendord that have stations there. i try not to touch the aramark stuff there when i can help it.
sometimes i get carried away and dont, well, clarify certain things. if i fail to put a period in teh right place or type a run-on sentence don m goes apeshit.
Recycled material doesn't have to be seperated. Hence, the "no dividers" inside the bin.
Maybe you should watch the news, get with the times or start recycling smartly to inform yourself with these essential facts.
the Schmitter should be called "The Shitter" because if you eat one from the ballpark you will without a doubt wake up at 3am and spend at least 1/2 hour in the bathroom..
The pretzels there blow.. how awesome would it be if you could buy fresh soft pretzels in the game.. everything else is pretty good though the hot dogs and hamburgers are fine…the fries are always cold..etc.
nothing to write home about there.. the freakin lines in ashburn alley are usually so long that i just avoid it and grab something quick at one of the regular things
I do recycle, but if its dividing the slots up for bottles, cans, and paper-based trash and you look to see that its all going into the same compartment, then its not really recycling then is it, there chief?
Also, if i wanted to "get informed" the very LAST place i would turn to is the TV news. i would read books and actually study real things. you want to know what the governement is doing? read the laws that they pass, because they wont talk about that on the news.
the only thing they talk about on the news is some distraction (britney spears, etc) and some divisive issue to get poeple to hate each other (election) and something to get us to hate other countries (war). thats really all youll see on TV news. none of it is informative and most of it isnt even truthful. compelte garabge.
go read, thats where real information comes from, not the television.
i try to deal with, you know, events that actually happen.
(referring to non-sporting issues)
as a vegetarian, there are some decent options at the cbp, but i hate having to wait in the hour-long line at ricks for an $8 vege-cheesesteak or any of the other specialty items in the ashburn alley area. i prefer to just eat the pretzels or nachos that you could get an any park, that are located in the areas with no line.
My wife is vegetarian. Speaking for her, she really appreciates the veggie dogs on dollar dog day.
If nothing else, CBP is the best stadium I've been to in terms of having a good day at the park. Good food, good draft beers if you look around, not a bad seat in the house, and if you want to stand, you can get a $75 view for $12. It almost makes you think they designed it that way because the team is usually terrible.
The food is good, but too expensive. I didn't think the suite food was that good, but it was free.
The food at the bank is good. We always go early to watch BP and sit a Harry the K's and eat a cheesesteak.
It used to be great when you could get 24oz drafts there for $6.25, but it seems like they've scaled them back to 20 oz now. 1.66 beers for $6.25 now instead of 2 beers. Still not a bad deal for a ballpark and they're usually really cold.
As for veggie food. I have no idea. I would touch it if it was free.
I heard Manny is a vegetarian.
woops…. *wouldn't
Gee…peta approves. that's a big woop.
btw, i love animals….i think they're delicious!
Anyone else here ever take a family of four to the ballpark? Seats, parking, food and drinks will set you back close to $150 or more. Seems to me CBP is more suited to the younger singles crowd.
The Thressers at Brighthouse Field offer a $25 package including dogs, popcorn, drinks (no beer), seats and programs for a family of four. But that's A ball and a 1,000 miles away. Although it is an enjoyable evening out watching the baby Phils.
Do the Phils offer anything like that at CBP?
Has anyone ever tried the RAT at Shea? Rats are all over the place there.. not sure how the rest of the food is there
On a side note… Bull BBQ is pretty good, but its nothing compared to BOOGs down in Camden Yards.. that place has AWESOME food
..I love walking around and getting a $75 view anywhere you go.can you think of any other stadium like it?
The food is coronary buster stuff ..so what?thats what you expect at a ballpark.theres always beer nearby so quit complaining.
Fred, what major league park can you take a family of four for cheaper?
Granted it's just me and my wife but we get two general admission tickets ($24), park on the street on Patison down by 7th (free), and cap ourselves at two beers each ($24). We rarely eat at the park but the food prices aren't really much more expensive than if you went out to eat for fast food anywhere in the city.
We actually spent more money when we went to see the Iron Pigs.
Richie Allen: As far as any other stadium like it, Camden Yards in Baltimore was the prototype of new stadiums. Although I like the overall feeling at CBP more, most of the new stadiums owe a bit of gratitude to HOK (the architect at CY) for their designing of the new model stadium at CY.
That said, not a single thing was overlooked in the design of CBP. It is a near perfectly-designed stadium.
I hope it was People for Eating Tasty Animals that voted CBP #1!
Fred – Seriously if you think CBP is expensive, you couldn't even get 4 tickets for a Red Sox game at Fenway for $150. It has to have the most ridiculously expensive tickets and concensions (not to mention the beer is flat and warm most of the time) in MLB.
CBP is pretty reasonable for MLB parks.
Just don't let the kids eat so much cotton candy! 😉
I have no complaints about the food at CBP. The cheesesteaks are amazing at Tony Luke's and Bulls BBQ has great baked beans and pulled pork. Also, there's hardly ever a line at Bulls. I must say, it's second only to the food at Camden Yards out of the parks I've been to (Fenway, Camden Yards, CBP, Shea, US Cellular, Chase Field).
I think it was Mike T who first raised the issue of expense for food at a M.L. ballpark. With exorbitant prices at concession stands (how much is a hot dog there compare to a fast food restaurant?), most families of say…four would probably lose a day's salary earned at a workplace (chuckling). I'm sure that Tim's "dining" experience there was enjoyable in his disregard of cost. He probably can afford it and as Fred posted.."Seems to me CBP is more suited to the younger singles crowd"… or in short the Yuppies. (smiling) Oh to be sure, with thirty plus sellouts at CBP, the Phillies organization (+owners) are quite contend with concessionary profits.
Concessions have very little impact on the team's payroll. In fact, the majority of the team's money doesn't come from ticket sales either- it's television contracts. Which of course answers why the Yankees have so much money. I believe the Phillies contract with Comcast is up after this season. We'll see where that takes us.
Dude, concessions are market up hundreds of percentages, they rake off concessions and team gear thats made by 13 year old children in malaysia for 1 cent a day. Theyre printing money down there as if theyre a bank. The best solution: Ed Snider/Comcast buys the team and opens up the war chest for the payroll.
I think the prices in general are just crazy… I often just go with the guys instead of taking the fiance for the simple fact that taking her means paying $50 for tickets, $10+ for parking, a couple beers, hot dogs, pretzels or whatever and you're talking another $50..
I'd love to take her to Flyers games too, but at $50 a piece for the upper levels.. and all the parking and concessions… its a $200 date… we just bought a house and a high-def TV and whatnot, so most of my sports watching is going on from my couch this year.. with a hand down my pants…
At some point the govt. is going to have to step-in to limit these salaries… A-rod makes more per pitch then I do in a year probably.
My uncle (the one with the season tix for the Sillies) once said to me that no professional athlete should be allowed to make more than $1 million per year. And each player on the team that wins gets an extra $1 million. … he might have something there…
I honestly can't wait for CitiField to open next season.It is being paraded as potentially the "Greenest" park in the majors.I know this is a tag based on food,but I honestly hope the Amazins have Rusty Staub in mind because he has the tastiest ribs I ever had in NY. Now on the vagiterian front….Its never gonna happen but it'd sound funny having vendors yell "Tofu Heeeeeeere!Get your tofu here".Plus make my steak medium rare.
Hey, I'll take the win anywhere we can get it
Wooo I'm a vegetarian!
Pretty good post. I just happened upon your blog and wished to say that I have genuinely appreciated reading your web site posts. In any case I will be opting-in to your feed.

Supply chain: it's what Hewlett-Packard (H.P.), a $120 billion-revenue company, relies on to stay agile and give customers what they want in the personal computer, server, and printer markets.
According to the New York Times tech blog "Bits," H.P. has shifted its strategy from buying most of its semiconductors in bulk from Intel to using multiple chips from a variety of suppliers, such as Nvidia, known for its graphics chips; Texas Instruments, which produces audio and video capability; and ARM, which makes chips that go in mobile phones. This action enables H.P. to move quickly to produce the products that customers want.
"In this battle for customers, our supply chain and distribution give us a key advantage," said H.P. CEO Meg Whitman during the May earnings call. In his blog, Quentin Hardy expands on this idea. He says, "The advantage may lie more in ability to put a lot of engineers on different types of products and produce them quickly, reconfiguring supply chains fast when a product hits, than it will on pure pricing power.'' Hardy emphasizes that the H.P. supply chain already is strong; the company is seeking to use this strength to succeed in a quickly changing market. Customer focus
Leveraging supply chains to give customers what they want? It's not a new concept for supply chain and operations management professionals. What's new is that company leaders, such as H.P.'s Meg Whitman, are noticing. That means experts in this space now need to know how to link supply chain tactics with strategy.
APICS can help. The APICS Supply Chain Strategy Challenges and Practices report is available and free to everyone on the APICS website. It provides understanding about how supply chain strategy is evolving, what the differences are between supply chain management and strategy, how employing supply chain strategic practices can be a competitive advantage, and more. Additionally, the APICS Supply Chain Strategy Folio is available free to APICS members. It digs deeper into the topic by explaining the thought processes and experience of supply chain and operations management professionals when it comes to supply chain strategy. It includes survey analysis to help build strategy alignment at your organization.
You can explore these important and timely concepts even further at APICS 2013, September 29–October 1, 2013, in Orlando, Florida. With the theme "the supply chain experience: leveraging the power of the customer," the educational lineup promises to offer real-world examples of how companies are finding success with the essential contributions of their supply chain and operations management professionals.

State drives hard bargain on fuel pricesBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | November 12,2013
MONTPELIER At least a dozen Vermont fuel dealers have dropped out of a heating-assistance program after state officials cut the price theyre willing to pay for the oil being delivered to low-income beneficiaries.
The Shumlin administration, however, says that while reforms to the program may have cost the state a few participants, the changes represent a fiscal success story, and show how taxpayer dollars can be stretched without impacting services to needy clients.
While we want to be fair to dealers, we also have an obligation to Vermont taxpayers to get a good deal for them, and thats what weve done, said Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program will spend about $26 million this year on heating fuel for eligible Vermont families. But while the state has long sought preferential pricing from the private dealers with whom it contracts to deliver the fuel, Vermont this year wanted more significant concessions than it has gotten in the past.
Last winter, the state demanded on behalf of its LIHEAP clients one of two options: either the discount that dealers give to customers who pay cash up front; or a 10-cent per-gallon discount off the spot retail price.
This year, the state wants the discount price for cash-up-front, plus an additional 15 cents per gallon off of that. The dealer can also choose instead to charge a margin over rack, in which case they can bill the state 50 cents per gallon more than what wholesalers are charging on the day of the delivery.
At the end of the day, the dealer has to look at the bargain given by state and say, Can I do it? said Matt Cota, executive director of the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association. Some will see it as an opportunity to pick up market share by participating in the program, and expand their customer base. But others will say the state is asking too much.
Cota says the states offer doesnt affect all dealers equally. Dealers who provide deep discounts to their cash customers, Cota says, will see their margins undercut more deeply than dealers who dont discount as aggressively. And for the dealers who hedge against market volatility by locking in wholesale prices for the entire winter ahead of time, Cota says, the margin-over-rack option might not accurately capture their full cost of doing business.
According to Spaulding, at least a dozen dealers have opted not to participate in the program this year. However, Spaulding says 90 percent of fuel dealers have signed on, and that none of the 28,000 households served by the program will be unable to find a participating vendor who will service their residence.
Spaulding says the reduced cost of fuel has added $1 million in buying power to this years LIHEAP program, and will result in an additional 200,000 gallons of fuel for needy Vermonters.
Its a success story, Spaulding said.
Cota says the reduced rates have made for some difficult decisions for fuel dealers, many of whom have had years-long relationships with the LIHEAP clients they say they can no longer afford to serve.
There are some heartbreaking stories, Cota said. Its such an emotional issue for dealers who have been serving families for years and years and years.

since the tube weaning (more on our situation here: http://forums.llli.org/showthread.ph...ding-24-weeker) my DS (14m/10m corrected) is exclusively breastfed. He lost a lot of weight (8,8kg - 7,7kg) during the weaning, especially since he had a bad cold (no appetite) right after taking out the tube and since we thought he would eat solids by then, the doctor thought to prevent me from getting mastitis and told me to stop pumping. So by the end of the weaning process and after the cold there seemed to be not enough milk anymore. For one week he virtually drank all day with no break at all, he always wanted to be at the breast and during nights I pumped to get back the milk. After one week it came back so that his weight jumped back to 7,9kg an I got plugged ducts. After this he settled at around 7,7kg and kept this weight ever since the mid of October. Plus mainly because of his VP-shunt his head circumference is not growing since July to some extend it might as well have been worsened by the weight loss. So he knows when he is hungry and can show it plus he is not hungry all day.
But he also drinks now maybe 1/2 to 2/3 of his waking time (and 1 to 3 times during night). I thought he would get "better" after some weeks and make longer breaks between meals. His meals are maybe a tiny bit shorter now.
And so this is our problem, what is wrong here or is this still completely normal? Do you have any idea how to safely extend the breaks? Of course I would love to have time maybe for a walk with him (and still we are having a lot of medical appointments every week, six or more).
I don't feel this is a question of low supply although he does not gain weight (he still is not far as skinny as most micro preemies we know 7,7kg at 68cm), since he also sometimes shows no hunger signs and refuses the breast, he has enough wet diapers (at least six plastic diapers per day, poops about once in two days to two times a day), is very happy and lively and develops well and whenever I try to express some milk, there is milk coming. But maybe it nevertheless is a question of supply? Maybe the milk is coming too slow?
He keeps a (to me) strong vacuum, but his drinking is strange I have nothing to compare with, except the videos at http://www.nbci.ca where I see a suck-swallow ratio of 1:1). At times (especially at night) he can suck-swallow 1:1, at day he often sucks way more often (maybe 10:1) or sucks with no swallowing at all in several minutes.
We keep offering him solids but I think it still will take maybe weeks to months till he really eats solids, so I concentrate on improving the breastfeeding here.
To sum it up: Of course I would most love if he started to gain weight now, but my heart says, maybe this is still okay the way it is seeing that his head cannot grow, his body hardly grows and that he keeps a reasonable BMI. So if you have any idea, how I can help him gain weight, I would like to hear it. My main question for this thread is his drinking performance: The suck-swallow ratio and the long and often meals. Is it normal? If not, how can we safely improve it? (We are living in Europe and as far as I know we have no professional LCs around our area.)

- Abstract
- This article gives an overview of the current progress of a class of supramolecular soft materials consisting of fiber networks and the trapped liquid. After discussing the up-to-date knowledge on the types of fiber networks and the correlation to the rheological properties, the gelation mechanism turns out to be one of the key subjects for this review. In this concern, the following two aspects will be focused upon: the single fiber network formation and the multi-domain fiber network formation of this type of material. Concerning the fiber network formation, taking place via nucleation, and the nucleation-mediated growth and branching mechanism, the theoretical basis of crystallographic mismatch nucleation that governs fiber branching and formation of three-dimensional fiber networks is presented. In connection to the multidomain fiber network formation, which is governed by the primary nucleation and the subsequent formation of single fiber networks from nucleation centers, the control of the primary nucleation rate will be considered. Based on the understanding on the the gelation mechanism, the engineering strategies of soft functional materials of this type will be systematically discussed. These include the control of the nucleation and branching-controlled fiber network formation in terms of tuning the thermodynamic driving force of the gelling system and introducing suitable additives, as well as introducing ultrasound. Finally, a summary and the outlook of future research on the basis of the nucleation-growth-controlled fiber network formation are given.

I used less butter and sugar than the recipe and used honey instead of golden syrup (less of that too 100ml instead of 125ml) and it was still more than sweet enough and stuck together really well.
I used dried mixed tropical fruits, walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, linseeds and extra raisins and reduced the coconut to 50g.
It ended up really tasty with a good texture (I chilled it overnight, it was difficult to cut straight from the fridge but fine once it comes to room temp).
Next time i'll use raisins, cranberries, apricots and dried apple and some cinnamon I think.
I loved this recipe - the toasted seeds and nuts tasted and smelled delicious! I used flaked almonds and reduced the sugar to 60g, otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. I pressed it down reasonably firmly and put it in the fridge for an extra hour and it cut fine. I still found it a bit too sweet, even with the reduction in sugar - next time I'll try it with less syrup (hopefully it will still hold together!) My son wasn't keen on the nuts and seeds so I'll try it with chocolate chips and raisins next time.
I have already rated these and I made them the first time with golden syrup, this time I made them with honey. They are even more tasty using honey. I popped them in the oven for 10 mins to make them golden, then I let them cool for a few hours, then put them in the fridge for a couple of hours. This made them stay together easily, no crumbling. Wow, again, they taste amazing! My husband is in the Army and is taking them on exercise with him, I cant cook for him while he's away, so this is the next best thing. Yum!!!
Having read the comments about the mixture being a little crumbly I made a change to the toffee sauce that binds everything togther.
I upped the golden syrup to 150g and boiled the mixture for 5 minutes. Perfect! I think these bars would benefit from more fruit. I used a mixture of dried apricots, raisins and dried cranberries. The bars were delicious. I will definitely make it again.
tried these for the first time on sunday and they turned out perfect - was super easy to make and no oven required!! best of all everybody loved them and finished them off pretty quickly!! was so inspired i made up a chocolate version which was good but not as good as the original fruit mix.... love teh rice krispies in this recipe!
These are so easy to make! Mine didn't crumble at all, I cut them into bars just before they set. They are so tasty, I had to stop myself from eating them all. I made them over a week ago, and I have stored them in an air tight container and they are still good to eat, my husband took some to work this morning. I am going to try making them with honey next time. Brilliant recipe!

Sorry this is kind of late, but I was gone all weekend, and I totally missed the Latest Leaders. But this time I got #29, which is much better than the last time, so I am thankful. In the tradition started by Jimmy, I will dedicate this ranking to #29, first baseman Fred McGriff.
Known as the "Crime Dog", McGriff was drafted by the Yankees in 1981 draft. He was traded to the Blue Jays in 1982, and got to the majors in 1987. In 1990, he was traded to the Padres for Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter. He led the National League in home runs in 1992, but was traded to the Braves in 1993. He went on the play with the Devil Rays, the Cubs, the Dodgers, and the Rays again. He finally retired in 2005.
He had five All-Star game apperances, including being the MVP of the 1994 All-Star game. He won one World Series and three Silver Slugger awards. He ended his career with a batting average of .284, 493 home runs, and 1,550 runs batted in.
He is currently hosting a radio program in Tampa. He is also an assistant baseball coach for a high school in Tampa.
Big thanks to Rays Renagade for recommending this player to me!
In Padres news, Jake Peavy has a new tattoo! It's a tribute to his Native American heritage. Wow.
There are these really cool videos from Spring Training that are being posted on the Padres' website. They are part interviews, part footage of players working out. I love being able to see how the players are doing, and just to see the players! In the latest video, they showed my boy Kouz taking some grounders. It was so cool to see him again! Hopefully his shoulder and back will be OK this year.
In other randomness, have you guys heard about Jack Box? Yes, the founder of Jack-in-the-Box. Well, at the beginning of the month, he got hit by a bus! He suffered a massive head trauma, which is not to say that his massive head had a trauma, but his head had a massive trauma! So for all you Jack-in-the-Box fans, you gotta go support Jack and his family in this tough time. Join the Facebook page, or send a get well card, or sign up for updates, or just watch poor Jack on the webcam. But be sure to watch all the footage from all the events that have transpired since the accident. They are hilarious, er, ahem, so sad! Support Mr. Box!!

Hi there!
Congrats on being #29. I think you are the first Padres fan I have ever "met." Congrats on being #1 to me. ha ha! I look forward to learning more about the Padres from your site.
Congrats on #29 Kaybee and I hope you will post a picture of Jake's tat soon! And a question – is it wrong to send Jack a ******* and a Big-Mac as get well gifts?:-)
JEN, I'm glad to be the first Padres fan you've ever "met"! Definitely come here if you ever need any Padres news🙂
JULIA, I certianly will! And yeah, that probably wouldn't be the best for Jack🙂 His family is asking that you would go order anything on the menu, anytime, in lieu of flowers…
Who doesn't love Jack in the Box?! I had forgotten about the crime dog but it's nice to read about him again. Nice job and glad you had the chance to see some falling snow this weekend : )
Congrats. If I was McGriff I would have retired when I got 500 home runs but he will probably make the hall anyway.
Bob, http://bostonsports.mlblogs.com/
Hey, Kaybee …
"Congratulations" on being ranked #29 on the latest "Leader's List" !!! … Nice dedication in honor of Fred McGriff … He had great lifetime stats, including ending up tied with the great Lou Gehrig with 493 career homeruns !!! … When he was traded to the Padres from the Blue Jays in 1990, it was a good deal for both teams; but, when he was first traded away from the Yankees at the beginning of his career in 1982, that was probably one of the worst deals in New York Yankees history !!! … McGriff had a great career, and probably will be voted into the Hall of Fame at some point in the future !!!! … Kaybee, nice post, and thanks for mentioning my name in the post !!! ….. Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L" ….. http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
OMG! Jack-in-the-Box food is the best!
When I go to Spring Training, it's like a treat (they don't have any in the Midwest). I was blabbering to my wife about that place for a month before we left last year.
Poor Jack! I hope he still sells me food next month when I arrive in Phoenix!

In his 13th year as SEC boss, Slive said he has built much of the bridge to the future he set out to establish when he was hired in 2002.
At the forefront of a movement to overhaul the NCAA's governing structure, Slive unscored the pressing importance for a radical renovation of college sports and repeated his intention to break away from the collegiate sports body if a series of proposed changes are not enacted.
"If we do not achieve a positive outcome under the existing big tent of Division I, we will need to consider the establishment of a venue with similar conferences and institutions where we can enact the desired changes in the best interest of our student athletes," Slive said Monday to open the 30th annual SEC Media Days at the Hyatt Regency in Hoover, Ala.
Slive said a vote by the board Aug. 7 involving the SEC and five major conferences, would present an opportunity to "forge a road to the future."
---Oklahoma State's football program is under NCAA investigation, ESPN.com reported.
According to ESPN.com, the investigation stems from a five-part series by Sports Illustrated in September that alleged improprieties in the program. After the report, Oklahoma State appointed Charles E. Smrt, a former NCAA official, to conduct an internal investigation. That investigation is nearing an end.
"The inquiry continues and it is hoped that it will conclude within the next few months," a university spokesman told ESPN. "The university anticipates releasing a report after the NCAA concludes its process. Since it is an ongoing inquiry conducted in cooperation with the NCAA, the university is unable to comment further at this time."
Sports Illustrated's series last September alleged several potential NCAA violations, but did not directly implicate any current coaches or players.
---One day after world futbol handed out its coveted prize, a new American football trophy was revealed.
The College Football Playoff, which will determine a national champion beginning in January, unveiled its hardware in Irving, Texas.
The trophy, which stands 2 feet tall and weighs 35 pounds, contains gold, bronze and stainless steel features that rise up in a football shape. The 12-inch, 30-pound base, from which the trophy can be removed during celebrations, is made of bronze with a black patina finish.
---For the first time in seven years, the Auburn Tigers expected to start the same quarterback in consecutive seasons.
But the streak of constant turnover could continue after Nick Marshall, a Heisman Trophy candidate in coach Gus Malzahn's spread offense, was cited for marijuana possession. Tight end C.J. Uzomah replaced Marshall at SEC media days.
"Nick lost that privilege," Malzahn said. "We have high expectations for our players, but specifically our quarterback being the face of the program. Up until last Friday, Nick had been a model student, teammate and citizen. Nick made a mistake and he'll have to deal with the consequences."
Malzahn said he wasn't at the point to share the specifics of Marshall's punishment.
---Florida head coach Will Muschamp is on the hot seat, and there are two men likely to be most responsible for lowering the temperature: quarterback Jeff Driskell and first-year offensive coordinator Kurt Roper.
"It falls on my shoulders, going through it, " Muschamp said during SEC Media Days. "There'll be a lot of chatter about hot seat business. The way you combat that is having a good football team, which we're going to have, and winning football games, which is what we're going to do."
There was plenty of blame to go around in 2013, with a 4-8 finish (3-5 SEC record) -- the worst since 1979. The Gators lost to Georgia Southern and eight starters went down to season-ending injuries.

Food fights between big birds may be in the offing near the Cedar River in eastern Iowa.
The Gazette says officials are erecting two nesting platforms for ospreys along the river. The platforms are part of a larger effort to restore ospreys to the state.
But the new platforms are going up in an area frequented by bald eagles, which are another big bird that preys on fish. The eagles are known to rob ospreys and even other eagles of their fish.
Bird biologist Bruce Ehresman says ospreys and bald eagles can occupy the same area and have been doing well together at Don Williams Lake in Boone County, where the fish supply apparently is plentiful.

Locum wishes everyone in Sweden a happy (yule) holiday season - with a very dirty ad indeed.
Fantastic ad. Really.
Locum have received several hundred phonecalls today but lets us know that most people who spotted the "i love cum" message simply found it funny. One caller claimed to be chocked and very offended.
Locum's CEO Ingemar Ziegler defends the copy with "naturally this was not intended and if you do have a dirty imagination you may read this a little wrong - but it is harmless."
The body copy in the ad goes on about Locum saving trees by printing only one ad as a holiday wellwisher rather than sending out lots of cards. So far , nobody has read it. ;-)
Almost as bad as a webmaster community called Experts Exchange - who started their site under the url ExpertSexChange.com. Now they go by experts-exchange.com lol
That's funny! I just grabbed a domain name...couldn't help myself...bongsR.us - dunno what the hell I'm gonna do with it. Start an online head shop maybe? Hmm...I wonder if bongosR.us is available? Or bombsR.us - Bin Laden might like that one. I gotta stop smoking that shit.

Hi! I'm so glad I found this site. It seems like people have a lot of nursing experience and wisdom to share...and oh do I need it!
I have a 3 week-old little boy, born at 33 weeks, and even though he has no medical issues, he'll be in the NICU until 37 weeks (he needs to show steady growth and keep body temp. stable). I have started nursing him about a week 1/2 ago (he was originally fed through an NG tube) but only for about 4 feedings a day since the doctors and nurses are insisting on feeding him with a bottle (my breastmilk) most of the time in order to "measure" his intake (this drives me nuts!!).
I have been working with a lactation consultant since day 1, pumping every 3 hours and getting assistance with helping him latch on...etc. Baby has been doing well latching on, but tends to fall asleep after 5-10 min. of nursing. I have read and heard that babies need to suck differently to get milk from the breast in comparison to bottles, so I'm getting worried he's just becoming "lazy" when I nurse him, since I hear he has to give a little more effort at the breast. The lactation consultant suggested today that I use a shield to ease the transition between breast and bottle (she also said that my nipples were a little on the "flat" side...lovely, I know ), and baby did really good with it the 3 times I nursed him today.
But now I'm wondering if the shield is such a good idea. What do you think? Is it ok for him to get used to the shield or would it be best just to keep trying without it until he stays awake the whole time? Will I ever be able to breastfeed without the shield? My baby is moving out of the NICU tomorrow and will be transfered to the pediatrics floor, so I will most likely be able to share a room with him and have a little bit more freedom as far as when and how often I nurse him (he's now on a strict 3 hours feeding schedule).
What do you recommend I do. Keep up with the shield since it works well, or nurse without it to get baby used to it? Do you think I'll be able to breastfeed 100 % of the time when I take him home? OR will I always have to alternate with bottles?
This whole ordeal has been so hard on me, I always thought I would breastfeed from day one, but instead, it's a constant battle to even get the nurses to let me breastfeed, and when I do, it's with 20 people in the room working with other babies, bright lights and machines beeping, a lactation consultant starring at me....etc.
I can't wait until I get my little one at home! Please tell me my efforts are going to be worth it in the end!!!!

Illinois' four Republican gubernatorial hopefuls cuddled up Nov. 2 with elements of the conservative entertainment complex that has done its best to help the party lose elections.
For Illinois' sake, let's hope that the results of governors' elections three days later in New Jersey and Virginia gave them a moment of pause about firing up the base at the expense of winning the general election. The Chris Christie approach will play in Peoria. Ken Cuccinelli will not.
For the uninitiated, the conservative entertainment complex (henceforth shortened to "CEC" for space's sake), is the network of conservative cable news, blogs and talk radio that has essentially become the GOP's de facto leader in the absence of a unifying figure.
Bruce Rauner, Kirk Dillard, Dan Rutherford and Bill Brady shared the stage with CEC stars such as blogger Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck TV host Dana Loesch and local congressman-turned-talk-radio-host Joe Walsh at the first-ever Restore Illinois summit, hosted by Americans For Prosperity.
The GOP's experiment to create an alternate media to counter liberal bias has instead created an alternate universe – a Republican Matrix minus Agent Smith and kung fu – with disastrous results. The biggest story of the 2012 election wasn't that the Republicans lost, but the fact that they didn't see it coming.
Pat Quinn, one of the nation's most unpopular governors in the polls, is vulnerable. But to paraphrase John McCain's senior 2008 campaign strategist, conservatism with a snarl – the product much of the CEC sells – will do in deep-blue Illinois what it has done elsewhere, namely repel the independent voters needed to win.
The CEC goes unchecked in pushing the concept that only the most ideologically pure conservatives can triumph, which has resulted in a long list of Looney-Tunes candidates winning primaries and going on to lose elections.
Christie, a compromise-minded governor who was excoriated by fellow Republicans for not putting party loyalty ahead of constituents who were cold, wet and hungry after a historic superstorm, won New Jersey handily. Cuccinelli, a tea party darling and hard-core culture warrior, delivered yet another winnable seat for the GOP into Democratic hands.
The Virginia governor's race was a "lesser of two evils" competition if there ever was one. Polls show that people held their noses to vote for former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe. A Libertarian third-party candidate seemed to hurt both sides equally.
McAuliffe won because he wasn't Cuccinelli. Even uber-liberal blogger Markos Moulitsas acknowledged on Twitter after the vote that, "Republicans would've won VA-Gov without a tea party crazy. Probably easily."
The GOP does have some positive takeaways from Virginia. Cuccinelli almost pulled an upset despite being consistently behind in the polls and being outspent by almost double, likely because of a bump from the godawful mess of the Obamacare rollout and those policies we were supposed to be able to keep.
Likewise, Illinois' GOP governor hopefuls need to take some lessons from Nov. 5 if they don't want to embarrassingly lose to Quinn and fail to end a decade of disastrous one-party Democratic rule in Springfield.
The CEC's bread and butter of social issues and inflammatory statements is radioactive. Running on the Land of Lincoln's impending fiscal Armageddon is plenty enough to win.
Taxpayers and businesses are fleeing Illinois in droves because they pay way too much in taxes to way too many governments that are way too large and deliver lousy services. They're fleeing to beat the Day of Reckoning when the public employee pension systems – at least $100 billion underfunded and climbing – go bust.
They're not fleeing Illinois because of gay marriage and abortion.
The goal of a Republican candidate is to win. The goal of the CEC is to make money, and they do that these days by saying outrageous things to get the listeners and the web hits.
Those two goals increasingly clash. Blue-state Republican candidates who want to cuddle up to the CEC would do well to remember that.

Banny and the hammy
Finally, an update on Brian Bannister. On last night's pre-show, we learned that Banny's been throwing in the bullpen but hasn't yet pitched a simulated game. Ron Darling estimated his return at about a month from now, leading us to believe we'll see Mike Pelfrey before Bannister's return.
And tonight? Trachsel. At a time when our starters have been struggling, these last few games and future few games are key, key, key for the rotation. El Duque? THANK YOU! Last night's outing was one we can be proud of. But now Trachsel…he's been struggling of late. A win is well within our grasp tonight, but if the offense carries the game, is that enough? I'm hoping Trachsel can get some amazing innings in there to keep the momentum going on the mound.
As for Pelfrey? Oy. New York is one of the hardest places for a young star to make a debut. Because when a fresh player comes with a whole load of hype, we expect results. And fast. If Pelfrey's first start isn't what we want it to be (God-forbid!), I hope he can shrug off the consequences. And if he gives us everything we want that first time out? I hope he stays focused and healthy, and that he's able to have fun along the way.
I remember a couple of years ago when Mets fans felt relieved just to hit 500. We're at 50 wins now. We've got a great team full of heart, skill, and moxie. We're cheering for you, Metsies. Let's hope the next 50 wins are just as fun as the first.

Thanks for the update on Bannister. 50 wins, the first MLB team to do it this year.
Mets look good…They are the team of New York.
What a game from El Duque last night… just what we needed. I'm hoping they give Pelfrey a shot Friday. I'm dying to see what he's got.
~Eddie @ Willie Ball
//50 wins, the first MLB team to do it this year.//
The Red Sox haven't won in three days and they have fifty wins. White Sox have 55, Detroit has 57. Mets got their 50th yesterday. Going to have to disagree with you here, Joe.🙂
Clarification: I meant the first National League team to get 50 wins.

Organ donation important to local family
BELPRE – Rob Morehead has struggled with the confines of his body for many years.
Diagnosed with diabetes at 2 1/2 years old, the Belpre resident is no stranger to a life of exercise, staying in shape and understanding what it means to be patient.
"There's several days I can't leave the house," he said. "Going through three hours of dialysis (has been compared to) running a full marathon."
On a good day Morehead looks to be in perfect shape, but when he is not feeling well he has to lie in bed from fatigue.
"The last three weeks I've been in bed, I haven't done anything," Morehead said.
His body quit making red blood cells because he has had to be given so much blood through blood transfusions. Every time someone has a blood transfusion the number of antibodies in his or her body increases.
"Any type of bacteria or tissue in that person goes into my blood and adds antibodies," Morehead said.
He is waiting for a kidney and pancreas transplant, but there is a problem.
"For someone to be a match with me it's very, very, very rare," he said.
Morehead's plight and need for a kidney and pancreas transplant have the attention of his mother, girlfriend, family, friends and Parkersburg City Councilman John Rockhold.
Morehead's girlfriend, Sara Dillon, is going through the process to determine if she can donate an organ to Morehead or someone else in need.
Resa Vavra, of Belpre, discovered the need for living organ donations after being friends and in contact with Morehead's mother, Vicki Parrish.
Parrish, a fitness expert and personal trainer, said her son had a kidney transplant in 2002 that contributed to auto-immune disease, destroying his kidney function and necessitating the need for a second transplant.
"Rob goes through dialysis three times a week (504 hours a year for five years) and is on a host of drugs to keep his bodily functions in check," Parrish said. "We remain hopeful that a match will become available soon."
For Morehead, a kidney transplant would provide freedom from dialysis and allow him to live longer, with a higher quality of life.
"This is something (others) can relate to," Vavra said. "I've always been a donor. I selected to be one on my driver's license. I found out there was a need so I thought I'd be tested to see if I could possibly be a living donor as well."
Vavra said she was not a match to help Morehead with his kidney and pancreas transplant but intends on helping others. She and the others signed up to be living donors with the assistance of medical professionals at the University of Cincinnati.
"I don't know if people know about the need (for living organ donation)," said Rockhold. "The opportunity is there; people need help."
Rockhold said he became passionate about raising awareness for organ and tissue donations after learning the majority of Americans, about 85 percent, support organ donation yet fewer than half of them choose donations when a loved one passes away.
A single donor can save the lives of eight people and improve the lives of up to 50 more individuals by donating vital organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, small bowel and tissue, including corneas, fascia, skin, veins and heart valves.
"To help solve the growing need for organ and tissue donations I believe it is essential for families to have a conversation about organ donation; to make his or her wishes clearly known," Rockhold said of donating after death.
Morehead needs a kidney and pancreas transplant from a living person.
It's a medical miracle Morehead has made it this long, because what has been helping him has also been hurting him, Rockhold said.
According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, more than 108,000 people nationwide are awaiting a transplant, including hundreds from West Virginia and Ohio. About 5,800 after-death organ donors were registered, studies showed.
"There were 27 people, from not just here, I'm the only one around here, but there were 27 people at the University of Cincinnati going through what I'm going through," Morehead said.
Statistics show the need for transplants continues to outgrow the number of available donors at an alarming rate. Relatives of those who are in need of an organ are the best matches, although being a relative does not automatically make someone a match.
The University of Cincinnati Medical Center's Cincinnati Transplant Center encourages live donation when appropriate and dedicates resources to educating people that organ donation saves lives, according to the university health website at www.universityhospital.uchealth.com.
For more information on becoming a donor through the UC program contact Sara Rhoten at (513) 584-5573.
Information to become a donor also is available through Lifeline of Ohio Organ Procurement. Camden Clark Medical Center has participated in the national campaign for several years, officials said.
Statistics show more than 18 people die every day waiting on a healthy organ.

Take-Charge Obama Shows Up For Second Debate
By Don Gonyea • Oct 17, 2012
Originally published on October 17, 2012 8:31 am
Two weeks ago, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was seen as the clear winner of that debate. A very different President Obama showed up for the second debate. He went hard after his Republican opponent from the very start.

I'm with you, I don't like interleague play either. The AL is tough to beat.
Your David Eckstein is a real sweetie, by the way.
First, go Pads. I have been on your bandwagon since last season. You are building the right way.
Second, I like Interleague play. It is fun to play teams you don't see very often.
Third, I wouldn't miss Interleague play because MLB could create a more balanced schedule. I am getting sick of playing the Red Sox and Yankees so damn much.
I love interleague. From the standpoint that we get to see new teams. But even the Pirates get tripped up playing the AL nemesises.

Friends from his side say this A list entertainer(rapper) and his A list reality star wife have not had sex in almost a year.
Kanye West/Kim Kardashian
Who to believe…..ReplyCancel
Makes sense considering hes gay and she is repulsive….ReplyCancel
If someone can post the reveal from FB over here somewhere – it would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance to whoever is willing to cut and paste. /big hug/ReplyCancel
I'd be surprised if they've EVER had sex. I totally took this for a test tube baby.
We all know Kanye has a boyfriend who's a designer, so that's where he gets his physical/emotional needs met. But what about Kim? Does she even care if she has sex? How about love/affection? Or does she even feel love? I don't think she's a sociopath (with no ability to love) but I do think her need for love/ability to give it is pretty damn minimal.ReplyCancel
I don't believe this, Kanye has no friends.ReplyCancel
isnt she still boning bush (pun intended)?
despite all her "smoldering" sexuality kim seems quite frigid, imo. all smoke n mirrors.ReplyCancel
I guess it's believable. He has been on tour for most of the year.ReplyCancel
Sorry this is a PR arrangement pure and simple. Can't convince me otherwise.
What man who loved a woman or even liked her would let her dress in the sausage roll for the Met Gala. That was Kanye and his lover having a great big laugh on Kim. I can just see them giggling naked in bed with champagne glasses. Yet she keeps wearing these awful clothes he must insist on. She had much better style before hooking up with him, I will give her that.
When dingbat made the mistake of cutting Humphries loose way too early after the wedding just confirming to everyone who said this was a PR stunt and the divorce will come with a few months no one expected a few weeks, it was pretty obvious this woman will do anything for attention/ratings.
So why not have an arrangement where she doesn't even have to sleep with the guy – Kanye gets his controversial PR and a beard or sleeps with his usual female friends with benefits, though frankly I don't think this whole thing has really helped him much at all, I think he has alienated what fanbase he still has.
She gets attention and ratings for the Kardashian reality empire and a baby and yet another silly wedding. And I thought J Lo was ridiculous.ReplyCancel
Her O face is the same as all her faces, botox and fillers do that. How much was Amber paid since after one slip she has never commented on him and her again?ReplyCancel
Fb for cdan?ReplyCancel
Reggie Bush just got married (that it would stop either of them) and KanMe is too busy cuddling with Ricardo's tuschy.ReplyCancel
Nice to see ya Libby.ReplyCancel
Not surprising. It's all about the pr and money. He has his bf to keep him comfy @ night. She – her singles jaunts around the world.
( I can't stand these 2. Such a waste of human life that could've been given to a more worthy soul)ReplyCancel
Turkey baster!!ReplyCancel
Urno Talbot- Amber who and what slip did she she make?
About Kanye, I don't think Kim minds, though. She's gotten so much out of this "relationship" as far as publicity, freebies, $$ that she's come out ahead. She also keeps herself busy doing things she loves (pap walks, shopping, makeup sessions, choosing outfits for said pap walks). Even if her hubby comes out publicly with his relationship (or is outed) while they're still married, it would be a wonderful, profitable publicity storm for her.ReplyCancel
Bwaaahaaa..I have the misfortune of living there and u are spot on!!ReplyCancel
I'm no Kardashian fan, but as a mom, I can attest to the fact that it can take a long time to feel comfortable and confident enough to have sex again after your body blowing up and practically turning inside out to create a human being.ReplyCancel
KonGAY said before that this fake "relationship" is all about business. I certainly believe it, and he should know that the K's will do anything for the sex tape actress to get pregnant again, thus, more money for her. Everything to do with them is fake, smoke and mirrors, and the vile paps who do their bidding, keeping these fame ho's in the public eye with NO scrutiny as to their statements or actions.ReplyCancel
This is a blind I have no trouble believing. I bet Kim misses Reggie, he seemed like a stud.ReplyCancel
Ha ha the more I think of this the more it makes sense… The constant delays of the new extravagant house being built and now abandoning, the moving in with PMK – seriously, who wants to stay living in that arrangement for this long, the removal of anything Kanye from the show, Bruce moving out… I'm just waiting or the first one to crack and write a tell allReplyCancel
Bruce never played the disinformation game Kris wanted. When Bruce was living there, he was against Khloe's rushed, DOOMED marriage, he never liked Kanye, spilled the beans that Kanye as "never around." Kris HAD to make sure Bruce wasn't around to spill the beans with this fake, orchestrated marriage to her cash cow. SHE had to be in total control of the Kim side of what is told about the FALSE ARRANGEMENT. The GREAT part is, there are truth tellers on the KonGAY side still with knowledge of the truth.ReplyCancel

Agencies deal with homeless every day
Teresa Hosey, shelter manager and program assistant at the Christy House in Warren, knows just what to say to people when they come to the emergency shelter: "I let them know when they come in about the life I used to live.
"I relate with them and they relate with me," Hosey said. "I kind of just share my story with them."
Hosey is among an army of people working with the area's homeless population on a daily basis. Her story is one of drugs and alcohol, a five-year stint in prison on complicity to burglary charges and other times in and out of jail, and a year spent homeless in Columbus, where she said she lived on the streets and in vacant houses.
"I did what I had to do to survive, some things I'm not proud of and won't mention," Hosey said of her time homeless in the state's capital city.
Now clean for 13 years and working at the Greater Warren-Youngstown Urban League, Hosey is among a number of people at different agencies in Trumbull and Mahoning counties trying to tackle the problem of homelessness in the Mahoning Valley.
Hosey, hired in 1991 at the Urban League after her time in prison, said drugs and alcohol got the better of her and she was laid off three years later. Three years after that, she found herself on the street in Columbus after she left the home of her daughter and didn't follow the rules at a shelter.
"So I know what it's like to be homeless," Hosey said. "It's a terrible thing, especially when you're addicted to drugs and alcohol."
Hosey said that in 1999, she got clean and had a spiritual awakening while in the Trumbull County Jail. That's the same year she got hired back at the Urban League.
Homelessness is often caused by the onset of mental illness or issues surrounding drugs and alcohol. Another cause is financial difficulty, said Cathy Zapka, a social worker with Catholic Charities Regional Agency who works with homeless people in Trumbull County.
Their jobs, she said, are precarious, sometimes in labor pools where the work isn't consistent or their job doesn't pay a living wage, and sometimes they don't have reliable transportation.
In other cases, government assistance isn't enough and there is sometimes difficulty navigating the process to get into subsidized housing, she said. Also, domestic issues can be a cause of homelessness, Zapka said.
The most recent statistics on the Mahoning Valley's homeless population are from early 2011. Called a point-in-time survey, the numbers were gathered during a 24-hour period, but officials say they are a pretty good indicator of the situation now. They show that about 100 people were in some stage of homelessness in Trumbull County; in Mahoning County, the number was about 225.
Another survey is set for Jan. 22.
Diane Baytosh, team leader with the PATH (Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness) program at Help Hotline in Mahoning County, oversees a group of outreach workers whose job it is to go to shelters, homeless camps, abandoned buildings, "wherever people might be stuck," to give aid, get them someplace safe and then, they hope, into a mental health system.
Her philosophy: Take care of the mind, then finances, and then focus on housing.
"If you don't have the right mind or the pocketbook, if you put them in permanent housing, they're not going to be able to stay," Baytosh said.
Her outreach workers always go in pairs and always take humanitarian goods like shampoo, soap, water, snacks and, in the winter, blankets, hats and gloves, she said.
They also take with them persistence to convince the people they contact to get help. Often, it takes a number of contacts with the person before that person will budge, and there's no guarantee that if that person agrees to get help, he or she will follow through, Baytosh said.
But there are successes.
Calling her "Jane," Baytosh said this woman, who suffered from mental illness and drug and alcohol addiction, lived on the streets for three years and was visited weekly by outreach workers trying to convince her to get help, and she finally agreed in 2010 with winter looming.
Today, the woman, in her late 40s, is in her own apartment and "doing great," Baytosh said. Also, she's on a program that pays her bills first and then provides a set amount of money a week.

For technology-based startups, building and protecting an intellectual property portfolio is one of the keys to developing a profitable enterprise.
Jeff Schox, a San Francisco-based patent attorney who has filed more than 500 patents in the past 15 years, offers some advice for navigating the IP landscape.
According to Schox, two of the most important questions for life science entrepreneurs when talking to investors are: "Can you patent your invention?" and "Can you sell it without infringement by competitors?"
A patent portfolio is an investment, says Schox, founder of Schox, PLP Patent Group. To maximize the return on investment, he says the patent attorney's role is to help clients identify and screen inventions, determine the patentability of these inventions, and evaluate the economic value of a patent application on their inventions.
Protecting intellectual property is not the only function of patents, Schox points out. For startup companies, the most important reason to file patent applications is to increase the company's valuation in the event of an acquisition.
For larger companies, one of the primary reasons for filing is to enforce their patents against competitors. But, that strategy "doesn't work all that well in the startup space," partly due to the time required to complete the process, he says. Along with capital, time is something startups typically lack.
"You might get a patent approved in a year and a half if everything goes well. But generally it takes two to three years; it could take three to four years to go from provisional filing to actually getting a patent," he says.
In protecting intellectual property, litigation is not the preferred strategy for startup companies, Schox notes. Early-stage startups do not have the money, or time, to enforce their patents. "It is not about enforcement, but rather valuation – during venture capital funding and acquisitions," he says. "Litigation costs millions of dollars, which is exactly what our startup clients are trying to raise, not spend."
One of the major fears for investors in life science companies is a successful patent infringement suit filed by a competitor that could put the company out of business, Schox notes. Companies safeguard themselves against such litigation by hiring a patent attorney to conduct an FTO (freedom to operate) analysis – a search of existing patents to determine whether a certain product infringes any existing patents.
To avoid unnecessary costs and effort, Schox recommends that life science companies limit their FTO searches to direct competitors, rather than a larger universe of companies. "'Scaling' your FTO to just your competitors is going to save you tons of time, a lot of money and headaches," he says.
As a startup develops its IP portfolio, Schox emphasizes the importance of filing just the right amount of patent applications at just the right time. "File too many too soon, and the startup may have to later abandon some patent applications, which is terrible for several reasons: they wasted their time, they wasted their money, and they taught their competitors how to practice their inventions. File too few too late, and the startup may be allowing a competitor to compete in their space without enough adequate protection. Or they may be leaving money on the table during an acquisition."
Schox cites a major change in U.S. patent law that will take effect on March 16, 2013, converting the U.S. patent system to a "first to file" system. Under the new law, if two inventors independently create the same invention, the first to file a patent application will get the patent, regardless of which one was the first inventor. To effectively protect their inventions, life science entrepreneurs will want to "file early and file often," Schox says.

Isaiah Guajardo, 21, of Jourdanton, was traveling in the eastbound lanes on state Highway 72, about 4 miles from Interstate 37, when his 2005 Mustang was struck by a Bell Supply Company tool trailer.
The trailer broke free from a white Chevrolet pickup, traveling in the westbound lanes, according to Department of Public Safety Trooper Gabriel Llamas.
As the trailer careened into oncoming traffic, its hitch hit the left rear tire of the Mustang and ripped it off, sending the Mustang sideways into the ditch, according to Llamas.
Llamas said witnesses to the accident said the trailer had hit a bump and started swaying back and forth until it became unhitched.
The driver of the Chevrolet pickup, Ricardo Cruz, 21, of Asherton, was uninjured.
Guajardo sustained injuries to the neck and back, according to Llamas. But he appeared not to have life-threatening injuries.
He was first transported by Acadian EMS to a heliport near the intersection of Interstate 37 and state Highway 72. Then he was flown by helicopter to Christus Spohn Memorial in Corpus Christi.

You Have To Admire Lady Gaga's Professionalism
Lady Gaga isn't any more talented than a dozen other female singers, she just happened upon the idea of wearing clothes and it caught on. Nice idea, but that doesn't make her a great musician. Additionally, like most celebrities who dip into politics, she has an ego like an elephant and a brain like a mouse.
Still, you have to give credit where credit is due. Gaga isn't the sort of pampered diva who'd let a little puking stop her from putting on a good show.
The pop star was in the middle of performing her hit song "Edge of Glory" when she paused and bent over to vomit, with her back to the crowd. Literally seconds later, Gaga was back to dancing and singing. Many in the crowd probably didn't even notice that it happened.
Moments later in the video, Gaga can be seen bending over to throw up again. Then she pukes for a third time seconds later, each time getting right back to her routine with ease.
"Was praying nobody saw but actually its quite a good laugh if u need one!" Gaga tweeted after the show.
Lady Gaga may not be one of your favorite people, but that kind of professionalism you've just got to admire.

OCLC has acquired the shares of Huijsmans en Kuijpers Automatisering (HKA), a Dutch organisation that develops, implements and manages systems for libraries and educational and cultural organisations.
The addition of HKA, which offers the Wise line of library systems and services, enhances and extends OCLC offering to libraries in the Netherlands. OCLC currently manages the infrastructure for interlibrary loan for many Dutch libraries and offers cataloguing services through the GGC, the Dutch shared cataloguing system. OCLC and HKA staff will now work together to accelerate the development and delivery of innovative services for libraries.
The HKA staff of 29 will continue activities from current locations in Paterswolde and Oss in the Netherlands. The Wise line of library systems, including bicatWise, will continue to be developed and maintained. Moving forward, the staff will also deliver new cloud solutions for the combined user base.
"We are extremely proud to become part of OCLC," said Henk Kuijpers, director at HKA. "By combining HKA's knowledge of Dutch public libraries with OCLC's expertise in cloud solutions, we can deliver a new generation of library systems for our users. This is not only a very important step for HKA but also for our libraries, which will benefit from this move with expanded and new services from OCLC."

This is the gallery lamp with a dimmable LED light that is conveniently operated by remote control. The remote allows you to adjust the 50,000-hour rated LEDs to four levels, from a soft, white glow to bright, white illumination. The 24 LEDs highlight artwork without generating heat or ultraviolet rays (like fluorescent bulbs) that can damage paintings. Its cordless design enables set up anywhere without being restricted by the location of power outlets. The metal lamp has an antique brass finish, it mounts to a wall or picture frame with the included bracket, and tilts to enable optimal adjustment of the light-projection angle. Lamp requires four D batteries that provide over 70 hours of light; remote control requires a CR2025 battery. Light can also be controlled from the lamp.
"The LED light gave our painting a luminous quality that changed with each level. We are very pleased with the quality, the appearance and the performance. " - K.M., Tennessee

Exactly what we were looking for.
By Tutor Lady
from Sarasota, FL
We needed a lamp that would not require us to add an electrical outlet behind the picture and was remote controlled due the the height of the picture. We looked around sites a couple of years ago with no luck. We found some that were battery operated but not remote controlled and the reviews were not favorable. When we saw this one we jumped on it. It is perfect for the spot!

I bought 3 of these lights and they look great and work as documented. The problem I have is all have broken where the mounting tube attaches to the light. The light contains 4 D batteries which makes it heavy and unable to withstand a good eathquake jolt.
