|Project and Operating Challenge: Why are GCP Systems different (or not?)
Tuesday, 14 October: 08.15 - 09.30
In the GMP and the GLP world, principles on validation of computerized systems are well known and GAMP is established as an industry guideline for these processes. Over the years, the fundamental principles of the life cycle approach in GAMP have been expanded at a high level to be equally applicable across all GxP regulated industry areas. The proposed session addresses the specific GCP challenges and the following main questions: Why are GCP Systems different (or not)? How can GAMP principles be applied to address GCP System validation challenges?
|Designing for Operational Excellence
Tuesday, 14 October: 10.15 - 11.30
An inefficient layout and design can increase operational wastes (i.e. non-value added activities),
thereby negatively impacting the facility efficiency. Applying Lean Six Sigma techniques can be accomplished
during the initial facility design to improve layout efficiency and minimize cost. Striving for Operational
Excellence doesn't need to wait until a facility is operational. Op Ex and Lean procedures should be applied
at the project concept. An inefficient layout and design can increase operational wastes (i.e. non-value
added activities), thereby negatively impacting the facility efficiency. Lean wastes, particularly, excessive
motion, transportation, waiting, and excessive inventory can be attributed to facility inefficiencies such as
poor adjacencies, inadequately sized staging spaces and equipment. Applying lean six sigma techniques as part
of the initial concept design phase can help reduce capital investment and operational expenses.
Additionally, applying these techniques provide an opportunity to improve sizing and layout by optimizing
travel paths, storage spaces, material handling equipment and processes.
|Competencies: A Strategy to Eliminate 483/Regulatory Observations
Tuesday, 14 October: 13.00 - 14.30
|Develop a competency learning and training strategy to inspection-proof your organization while building
a quality culture and employee engagement. For the last 5 years, training observations have ranked in the top
10 FD483 inspection observation for the pharmaceutical industry. Regulatory agencies, ISO, the Malcolm
Baldrige Quality Award and other award and accreditation organizations have moved from asking if employees
are trained, to documenting training, to documenting employee learning, to competencies.
The presenters show how their organization is moving from management of training to competencies. A well designed competency program demonstrates each employee's learning and their ability to complete and understand job tasks thus inspection proofing the organization to 483 and other agencies' training observations. It also provides employees with concrete training and job knowledge requirements and expectations which improves employee engagement.
This model also guides and supports organizational strategy to build and sustain a quality culture. Examples include competencies expected of employees throughout an organization such as quality, and customer service. Examples of competencies and lessons learned on how to design them will be provided. At the end of the session attendees will practice writing a competency.
|Critical Utilities 101
Tuesday, 14 October: 15.30 - 17.00
|Critical Utilities 102
Wednesday, 15 October: 08.00 - 09.15
|This session will begin with an overview of critical utilities (water, clean steam, compressed air, and process gasses) and why the utilities are considered critical. The session will then review the critical design and installation requirements for water, clean steam, and process gas systems and how they relate to maintaining the critical quality attributes for the utility systems.
|This session is a continuation of Critical Utilities 101 and will cover an overview of quality monitoring and commissioning/qualification requirements for critical utility systems. Throughout the session, CU COP guides will be referenced to illustrate what information is available to Young Professionals from ISPE.

Everyone experiences pain in life. But there are a precious few who know how to turn it into something truly beautiful.
Growing up in the rougher neighborhoods of Sacramento, music was always a refuge for Terra Lopez. But it wasn't until a period of quiet isolation in Long Beach after high school that she first began to write and perform her own songs, armed only with a loop pedal, a classical guitar and her haunting voice. Music was no longer just an escape, but a way of processing and sharing her pain with the world.
Around this time, Lopez wrote a letter to a close friend after a night of drinking. When she awoke the next morning, she noticed that she had inexplicably signed the letter "Sister Crayon." The name seemed to fit perfectly with the new electronically driven songs she would soon develop with Dani Fernandez (beats/programming) and Jeffrey LaTour (keyboards/guitar).
If Sister Crayon's songs reflect the hurt and melancholy of the human experience, their performances represent the inevitable catharsis. The band's live show is an explosion of passion and sound, a plea for the audience to unleash their own troubles into the ether.
After releasing their debut album Bellow in February on Manimal Vinyl Records, the band toured relentlessly with acts including The Album Leaf and El Ten Eleven. They will remain on the road for much of 2012 while continuing to work on material for a new album.
Sister Crayon
There are the California girls that you know, sun-kissed and white-toothed, easy on the grey cells, easy to tire of.
Then there are the other California girls, the ones you can't shake.
Julie Ann Baenziger – Jules – was born in the suburbs of Roseville, just outside of Sacramento, CA, quiet and shy, eccentric but happy. She grew up safe and warm, in a sheltered family, content to not know what she wanted to do with her life. Then in her late teens, she went to church with her sister, heard an older girl singing, and fell in love with her instead of God.
Suddenly she knew what she wanted, what she had to do – become a musician, and get her music into the world. But it was only years later, when Jules became Sea Of Bees, that she became herself. When you hear her, you realise she is the kind of singer-songwriter you come across only a few times in a lifetime – special, unusual, leaping out at you like an alien, her character fully-formed, her uniqueness intact.

Deciding what is a great goal and what is merely a good goal -- even to the point of defining the greatest goal in the history of soccer -- is all part of being besotted with the sport. It leads to discussions, disagreements, heated arguments, maybe fisticuffs. And of course nothing is ever resolved because there is no objective way that the merits of a goal can be measured and -- more conclusively -- soccer people are not objective anyway.
The people in the soccer community who ought to be neutral, of course, are the journalists. But I know from my own experiences that this is not so easy, however hard I might try to rule out personal biases and likes and dislikes. I've been trying to do that for over 50 years now, I haven't always managed it, and am now seriously wondering why I bothered.
When I started as a journalist -- you know, young, raw, eager, knew everything -- I think I genuinely believed in the existence of the objective story. Or at least, I believed that was something to be aimed for. Something almost honorable, something that allowed me to consider that what I was doing was worthwhile, and that also allowed me the snobby pleasure of looking down on those who wrote for the so-called gutter press.
That journalistic guidelines -- and standards -- have deteriorated in the past 50 years, I have no doubt. But then, doesn't everyone age with the conviction that the modern world is going to hell?
Probably. But I have some specifics, here. The written word, the published written word, is no longer dominated by professional journalists. Their output is now dwarfed by what can be read on the Internet. I'm talking mainly, I suppose, about bloggers. Some of whom are great writers, some of whom really know their stuff, some of whom are reliable. And some of whom, I suppose, are paid for what they write.
But there are no standards for bloggers -- none that I can see, apart from the libel laws. I make that sound like a terrible state of affairs, but is it? The tremendous freedom to air, online, just about everything has to bring with it enormous advantages as well as minuses.
Leaving me, I must admit, with no new ethics to practice, and clinging rather uncertainly to those I grew up with. But, for sure, the very idea of objectivity -- once such a shining ambition -- has been thoroughly deconstructed. And, hell, why didn't I realize this 50 years ago? Of course everyone -- even a smart-ass young journalist -- is a bubbling mass of opinions and biases, conscious and unconscious. How can they all be overcome? Well, they can't.
But ... surely, if there is no longer any such thing as an absolute truth (and I'm really quite pleased to hear that, it does water down the arrogance factor) -- there must still be comparative truth. Surely, to paraphrase Orwell, some facts must be more factual than others? It must be possible to lay bare the untruths, the errors and the frivolous inventions. I'd like to think so. I'll make that stronger -- I insist on thinking so.
But even that is not as straightforward as it sounds, because we are, in many cases, dealing with opinions. I have a couple of examples here, recent ones. Firstly, what I consider to be an error -- and given that it occurred on television, one that should have been quickly corrected.
This was the ESPN broadcast of the L.A. Galaxy-Seattle Sounders game on May 26. In the 12th minute, the Galaxy opened the scoring with a peach of a goal scored by Sean Franklin. He applied a pretty simple finishing touch, but the heart of the goal was a perfect give-and-go between Robbie Keane and Marcelo Sarvas. Keane, having passed to Sarvas, darted into the area to receive the return ball, which Sarvas delivered to perfection, right to Keane's foot, placing him unmarked inside the Seattle area. Keane maneuvered the ball beautifully with three quick touches on the run, then sent it low across the goal for Franklin to guide it home.
"Exquisite" was how commentator Adrian Healey described it, and he was right. He had mentioned Sarvas, but had quickly transferred all his attention to Keane. Healey's buddy in the booth, Taylor Twellman, lavished praise on Keane: "Robbie Keane with all the approach work," followed by "that is all Robbie Keane out wide." And then, unclearly, "all Robbie Keane using the movement off the ball to create space for himself." No mention of Sarvas.
Obviously, a give-and-go must involve two players, so I cannot see Twellman's version of the goal as simply all Robbie Keane being anything other than an error. A straight factual error. One that needed a quick correction, which it never got. And, really, a strange error for Twellman -- who knows a lot about forward inter-play in the penalty area -- to make.
The second example comes from the MLS's own website, in a report on the Dallas-San Jose game on May 25th. We are told: "... in the 33rd minute, FC Dallas rookie center back and 2013 MLS SuperDraft first-round pick Walker Zimmerman, making his first career start, put his mark on the game by starting the sequence that led to the game's decisive goal."
What Zimmerman did was head away a cross, looping the ball up in the air -- it fell to his teammate David Ferreira. It did not look like a carefully aimed pass. But even if it was, what followed, duly recorded in the same game report, makes a mockery of the writer's own claim that, with this one header, Zimmerman "put his mark on the game." Ferreira "then carried the ball 40 yards upfield before passing to forward Fabian Castillo. The young Colombian cut around San Jose's Jason Hernandez, and curled a well-placed left-footed shot around Jon Busch and into the bottom left corner of the net ..."
So, a 40-yard run with the ball from Ferreira, during which he held off one defender and outpaced another, a nice pass to Castillo -- and then a sharp move from Castillo to get around Hernandez, and the perfect shot, just out of reach of goalkeeper Jon Busch's dive, just inside the far post. And after all that, it was Zimmerman who "put his mark on the game"?
That can hardly be classified as an error, it belongs in the "frivolous invention" category. It's a nice, if undeserved, compliment for a rookie, but it shares a fault with Twellman's adulation of Keane, in that they both pass over vital contributions from un-named players.
I think I've managed to include all their key players. But ... I have -- deliberately -- omitted a negative contribution from Seattle's Servando Carrasco, who allowed himself to be nutmegged by Sarvas' radar-pass. Because I'm willing to allow that credit should go to Sarvas for deceiving Carrasco with his movement.
There you have it -- my version of the goals, and, I guess, my attempt to be objective about what's happening before my eyes. Whether or not that is as important as I still think it is, I'm not so sure these days.

Here you go, your tax dollars hard at work. Here's some actual footage of a first responder seminar in San Diego, Calif. The Department of Homeland Security deemed the event an allowable expense, enabling participants to use federal grant funding to pay to go.
That's according to "Safety at Any Price: Assessing the Impact of Homeland Security Spending in U.S. Cities" a report compiled by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who chairs the investigations subcommittee of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. The report focuses on grants made by the DHS and the Urban Areas Security Initiative. Coburn says the report shows that DHS was "directing scarce dollars to low-priority project and low-risk areas."
For complete info, READ HERE. Do you believe it? SEE IT!
Coburn found that, among other things, DHS was spending money on teaching first responders how to stop flesh-eating ghouls. The report said the event was held by the HALO Corp. "at the Paradise Point Resort & Spa on an island outside San Diego 9 (and) the 5-day summit was deemed an allowable expense by DHS, permitting first responders to use grant funds for the $1,000 entrance fee."

Beauty buy: ImPress Instant Manicure by Broadway
Broadway have launched their ImPress Instant Press On Manicure and we have to say we're huge fans.
The pack promises seven days of perfect nails but when we put this to the test we had picture perfect nails for 12 days straight.
Yep, if you apply this right you can really depend on this to give you no fuss nails for days on end.
As much as we love a nail polish or two, tending to chips and reapplying top coats is not our favourite way to spend our free time. Which is why Broadway's ImPress Manicure is our new beauty lust-have.
All you need to do is buff your nails lightly and wipe them with the alcohol pad provided, then wait for your nails to be bone dry.
The next step is to choose which nail size is right for each finger then peel off the sticky back and press into place lining up the curved edges of the nail with your natural cuticle.
And there you have it - press on nails that last and last!
Our tip would be to go for a size smaller rather than bigger if you're struggling to decide which nail is the best fit - and make sure you press each nail down for a good ten seconds or so.
The best thing about these nails is that they are flexible so they will mould to your nail's natural contours. Plus you can trim them down easily with a pair of clippers or file them into a shape of your liking.
You can even decorate and paint on top of them, if you're a dab hand with the nail art.
In any case we're now hopelessly addicted to this beauty invention.

Enrique Cruz, who had a tough night in the field, ended up with the last laugh, driving in the game-winning run with a two-out single to right field in the bottom of the 11th.
Cards' reliever Dennis Dove (0-3) hit Nate Gold in the back with the first pitch of the 11th inning. After pinch-runner Tim Hulett stole second base, Dove issued an intentional walk to Jim Fasano. Dove came back to strike out the next two hitters, setting up the match-up with Cruz, who delivered a ground ball to right field. Cards' right fielder Nick Stavinoha's throw to the plate was a bit off the mark, as catcher Gabe Johnson tried to dive and make the tag. Hulett dove in head first and just got his hand under the tag of Johnson, ending the longest game of the year for Springfield at three hours and fifty-eight minutes.
Cards' starter Stuart Pomeranz, making just his second start since coming off the Disabled List with a strained left oblique, lasted only one inning. He was replaced by Kevin Ool, after Pomeranz allowed one run on two hits.
Ool worked a career-high 5 1/3 innings, finally leaving in the seventh after surrendering a two-run homer to Frisco's Ben Harrison, making it 5-3. Ool allowed just a total of two runs on two hits.
Frisco tied it in the bottom of the eighth against Chris Russ. After Kevin Richardson opened the inning by reaching on an error, Travis Metcalf followed with a single. After a sacrifice bunt moved runners to second and third with one out, Kevin Mahar's bad-hop double past shortstop Brendan Ryan tied the game at 5-5.
Brendan Ryan, making his first appearance at the Double-A level in 2006 after spending most the year on the Disabled List with a left wrist injury, went 1-6 with a stolen base.
Frisco's Jesse Ingram (2-0) got the win by working a scoreless 11th.
Shaun Boyd led the Cardinals' offense, with three of their eight hits.
Springfield falls to 22-33 in the second half, still ten games back of Wichita in the North Division. Mike Parisi (8-5) will go for Springfield on Saturday night in the third game of the four-game set. Frisco will throw Eric Hurley (2-1). Game time from Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco will be 7:05pm.
The Cards return home to Hammons Field for the final four-game home stand of the 2006 regular season on Saturday, August 26th. Three thousand fans 18 and under will receive a St. Louis Cardinals Chris Carpenter Growth Poster thanks to Midwest Dairy and JOCK 98.7 FM. Tickets are available for the final four home games of the regular season by calling (417) 863-2143 or online at www.springfieldcardinals.com. We hope to see you at Hammons Field!

What color to paint my car?
This is my current paint job and soon I'm going to get a body kit but I'm
Not sure what color I should get as the pearl white is not doing it for me lol.
Tangerine Scream, just to annoy all those ST owners that paid the extra $495 :)
Seriously, it's about as personal preference of a question as you can get. What colors do you like? Since we're talking aftermarket, you can go for literally anything you want. They're all going to show dirt, though some are worse than others, and they're all going to get hot.
I liked the Carbon Steel VW has for the GTI, a bit darker than Ford's current Sterling Grey Metallic. Most cars look good in black, IMO, but I like a deep, glossy finish, rather than the metallic blacks Ford's using this year. Not at all good in the keep-clean category, though. Awful lot of neutral (black/grey/silver/white) cars on the road these days, so maybe it's time to go for some color. Don't see a lot of British Racing Green these days; that would be unusual, if that's what you're looking for.
keep it white and spend that money into the aesthetics looks of the car
I was looking for a bright "fast n furious" type color that normally tuner cars have, like a nice orange or green color. Cause
This white isn't even that white, it's an off white which looks very bland and even a bit female to an extent.
Verde Ithaca Pearl (Lamborghini color)
zx5hatch's ride:
X2 on pink
White - classy
Baby blue
If you paint it ANY othe color than white... Unless you pay a lot and have the better paint job. It wwill llok cheesy as hell whenn you open the doors, trunk, hood.
I knew a guy who went from gold to red. It looked like trash.
From any distance it was OK, but up close? forget it.
So if you ARE planning on doinga tons of prep work, and they are going to do all the door inside trunk, hood.. Then OK.
And yeah, picjk the color YOU like. Who cares what somes idiots on a website think?
My only comment is right now you blend in. No car screaming "Please Officer stop me" color...
So remember that part too.
Verde Ithaca Pearl looks pretty sick!

PARIS – French comedian Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala sought Saturday to circumvent a ban imposed on his controversial show over its "anti-Semitic" slant, replacing it with a new performance complete with "a few tai chi moves."
Earlier in the day he had announced his intention to go ahead with four performances in Paris, despite the Friday-to-Wednesday ban on the show titled "The Wall."
Dieudonne will instead present an alternate performance called "Asu Zoa" on a "different theme," his lawyer, Jacques Verdier, said, noting that the ban was specifically on "The Wall" and not the new show. The comedian had also cancelled a scheduled show in the central French city of Orleans after losing a legal challenge to get the ban lifted, Verdier said.
Outside the Main d'Or theatre in Paris, the police decree was pasted on the door, while a handwritten poster beside it announced Dieudonne's "new show."

There are n people in a room. Each person will shake hands with every other person once and only once. How many hand shakes will there be?
it depends on how many people are shaking thier hands
There is one handshake
3 handshakes
Each person shakes hands with 3(=n-1) others. There are 4(=n) people in all, that makes 3*4 handshakes each counted twice, so there are 6 handshakes.
There are 10 handshakes.
Can you figure out the number of handshakes for n persons?
Lets look at a typical problem with real numbers.
If there are 15 people in a room and each person shakes hands with every other person in the room only once, how many handshakes will take place?
There are two ways of looking at this type of problem. The first involves determining the number of combinations of "n" things taken "r" at a time and the other the sum of all possible pairings of "n" things.
For the first method, what you are seeking is the number of possible combinations of 15 people taken two at a time with no combination being repeated in another order. What I mean here is that once "a" shakes the hand of "b", then that pairing has been made and cannot be repeated in the form of "b" shaking the hand of "a" at another time. Only the single pairings are counted. This then boils down to determining the number of possible combinations of "n" different things taken "r" at a time, C(n,r), which is derivable from the formula C(n,r) = [n(n-1)(n-2)-----(n-r+1)/r! = n!/[r!(n-r)!], where n! = n(n-1)(n-2)------(3)(2)(1), r! means r(r-1)(r-2) etc., and similarly for (n-r)!. So in your problem n = I15 and r = 2. Thus you have C(15,2) = [15x14x13----3x2x1]/(2x1)(13x12x11----3x2x1) = 15x14/2x1 = 210/2 = 105 handshakes.
The second method seeks the sum of all possible pairings between the n people as follows, using 5 people to illustrate the derivation. Person 1 shakes the hand of 4 other people. Person 2 shakes the hands of 3 other people already having shaken the hand of person 1. Person 3 shakes the hands of 2 other people already having shaken the hands of persons 1 and 2. Person 4 shakes the hand of person 5, also having already shaken the hands of persons 1, 2, and 3. So what do we have in the way of a total? All together, 4 + 3 + 2 +1 = 10.
What we did in fact is simply sum up the numbers from 4 to 1, or (n - 1) to 1. Now, the sum of any sequence of consecutive numbers from one on up is given by S = n(n + 1)/2. Notice that our sum starts with (n - 1). Therefore, the total number of handshakes between "n" people can be defined as S = [(n - 1)(n - 1 + 1)]/2 or (n(n - 1)/2.
Applying this to our 15 person problem, S = 15(14)/2 = 210/2 = 105 handshakes.

WPIAL Basketball Playoffs - Friday 2/21 Recaps
Summaries for Boys AAA, Girls AAAA and Girls AA Quarterfinals
Share |
While the top four seeds in Boys Class A have made it to the Final Four, and the top three seeds plus the fifth-seed are Semifinals bound in Boys AAA and Girls AA. But Girls AAAA is not following chalk as a couple of party crashers from Section 1, #12 Hempfield and #7 Penn-Trafford are moving on to next week. Here are ALL of the recaps from the 16 games making up Quarterfinals Friday in the WPIAL Basketball Playoffs.
A special thanks to Steve Nagler, Pete Blais, Brandon Showers, Mark Schaas, Bob Barrickman, Randy Gore, Sam Hall, Brian Mroziak, Bob Orkwis, Paul Paterra, Don Seeds and Bob Gregg for their help on these recaps.
WPIAL CLASS AAA Quarterfinals:
Chartiers Valley Colts 75 - Mars Fighting Planets 61
Matty McConnell and Jerrad Tuite each scored 29 points as Chartiers Valley flew past Mars Area, 74-61. McConnell put up 24 in the first half, 15 in the opening quarter. Tuite scored 24 after intermission, 12 in each quarter after the break. Each team put together runs in this fast, er frenetically-paced game. Leading by three with three minutes to play in the first, the Colts (23-1) put up 11 straight points. McConnell's three-pointers early in the second helped push the margin to 19 before Mars (15-9) went on a 9-3 run to close the half, getting back to within 13 points at the break. Owen Nearhoof tried to keep the Planets close, hitting four three-pointers in the first half. Mars started the third with the ball, but back to back turnovers ended with three-pointers by Tuite and a 19-point bulge for the Colts. In the middle of the period, CV pushed the margin to 23 and coasted to the finish line, keeping the Planets at least 10 points down the rest of the way. McConnell's 29 included four three-pointers. Tuite drained three treys and hit on 12 of 17 free throws. Nearhoof finished with 25 points with five three-pointers. John Casetllo ended with 17 points, 10 in the final quarter. The Colts take on Uniontown in the WPIAL semifinals. If CV wins, Mars qualifies for the PIAA playoffs. A Uniontown win drags Elizabeth-Forward into the state tourney.
Uniontown Red Raiders 86 - Elizabeth Forward Warriors 79
Uniontown defeated Elizabeth Forward 86 to 79 in a Boys AAA Quarterfinal Round Game Friday Night at Charleroi High School to advance to the WPIAL Semi-Finals for the 1st time since they won the WPIAL Championship in 2002. Uniontown jumped out to a 34 to 14 2nd quarter lead before Elizabeth Forward started chipping away. The Warriors got back to within 42 to 31 of Uniontown at halftime and trailed only 58 to 54 after 3 quarters of play. The Warriors would knot things up with Uniontown several times in the 4th quarter, but would never lead in the game. The Warriors would have the game tied for the final time with 5 minutes remaining at 64-64, before Uniontown's Xavier Ellis would score 5 unanswered points, hitting a 3 from the top of the key and then scoring off of a quick Uniontown steal, to build the Raiders lead back up to 69 to 64. Elizabeth Forward continued to fight, but Uniontown would hit 10/14 free throws in the 4th quarter to ice to game and come out with an 86 to 79 win. Jaquan Davidson scored a game high 23 points for Elizabeth Forward while Austin Matta hit 4-three pointers and finished with 19 points. Uniontown was lead by Xavier Ellis, Jordan Pratt and Joey Campbell who scored 18 points a piece. Jeremy Perkins battled down low with Elizabeth Forward's 6-10 Junior George Prota and scored a season high 14 points for the Raiders. Prota who got in early foul trouble for the Warriors scored only 6 points in the game. Uniontown improves to 21-1 on the season and advances to take on Chartiers Valley in the Semi-Finals on Tuesday. Uniontown and Chartiers Valley last met in the 2004 Keystone Oaks Tip Off Tournament in a game won by Uniontown. Elizabeth Forward drops to 20-4 with the loss and will need a Uniontown win over Chartiers Valley for their season to continue in the PIAA playoffs.
Central Valley Warriors 50 - Montour Spartans 38
The Warriors pulled away in the fourth quarter for the victory to advance to the semifinals on Tuesday and end the season of the defending champion Spartans. Matt Kline scored three straight buckets early in the period to stake Central Valley to a 40-36 lead, that's when Michael Sims took over with two baskets, sandwiched by a Jacob St. George hoop. The Spartans turned it over on consecutive possessions, managing only four points over the final 3:55 of the contest. Kline led all scorers with 17 points, Tony Gates added 11 for the Warriors, now 20-3 overall. The win tonight places Central Valley in the semis for the first time in the schools short history, it also gives the Warriors a state playoff berth. Central Valley shot 21 of 43 for the game, just under 50 percent, including 8 for 8 in the final quarter. The Warriors were 6 of 7 from the line and committed just 11 turnovers. Joshua Randall led Montour with 15 points, including three three-pointers. The Spartans see their streak of three straight semifinal appearances come to an end, Montour finishes at 16-7. The Spartans were 15 of 38 from the field, 5 of 10 from the line, with 15 turnovers. Central Valley won the rebounding battle 23-21.
Thomas Jefferson Jaguars 72 - Blackhawk Cougars 67 in Overtime
It was a game that had many ebbs and flows, twists and turns and emotional changes, but in the end it was the Jaguars who survived this heart stopping affair. A layup by Eric Fairman with five seconds to go in regulation sent the game into the extra frame with the game tied at 64. Thomas Jefferson scored on its first possession of overtime on a Chase Winovich put-back on his 20th rebound of the game. Blackhawk held the ball the for almost the duration of the overtime period before putting up a shot with about 30 seconds to play. The Cougars did not connect and Thomas Jefferson was able to get a four-point lead on a basket by Charlie Scharbo. A three-pointer by Tyler Engle drew Blackhawk within one, but it could get no closer. Thomas Jefferson advances to the semifinals to play Central Valley and clinches a spot in the PIAA playoffs. Scharbo paced TJ with 21 points. Winovich added 14 points to go with his 20 rebounds. Zack Good added 13 points off the bench, including going 7 for 7 at the free-throw line. Zach Talley scored 11 points including nailing a long three-pointer which tied the game at 57-57 in the 4th quarter. Blackhawk was led by Engle's 25 points, which included five three-pointers. Chase MIgliore added 19 points. Blackhawk will make the PIAA tournament if Thomas Jefferson reaches the WPIAL championship game.
WPIAL CLASS A Quarterfinals:
Lincoln Park Leopards 95 - Western Beaver Golden Beavers 44
Lincoln Park sprinted to a 28-8 lead after the first quarter and beat Western Beaver handily, 95-44 in a boys Class A quarterfinal Friday night at the Ambridge Fieldhouse. Sophomore guard and Pitt recruit Maverick Rowan scored 24 points in the first half and 37 overall for the Leopards. After leading 53-18 at the intermission, Lincoln Park forced the mercy rule in the third quarter and led 75-27 going into the final period. The state's number one ranked Class A team won its 17th straight game since its only loss to New Castle in December, 71-63. Senior Ryan Skovranko added 16 points for Lincoln Park while junior Antonio Kellem chipped in with 11. Senior Nick Miller, who came into the game averaging a WPIAL high 30.1 points, paced the Golden Beavers with 18 while junior Jared Fye added 11. It was the third time this season that Lincoln Park beat its Section 1A foe and no victory was by less than 35 points. Western Beaver ended its season at 15-7 while Lincoln Park will take its 23-1 record into the WPIAL semifinals on Tuesday against North Catholic.
Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic Trojans 51 - Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chargers 49
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart started well and had a 14 - 6 lead over Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic at the first quarter break in a quarterfinal WPIAL Class A matchup Friday at Cornell High School. That was the biggest lead that either team would have the rest of the game. The Trojans found their defense in the second quarter holding the Chargers to 7 points and tying the game at 21 to end the half. The lead alternated back and forth throughout the second half as both teams played hard on both ends of the floor even though each had players in foul trouble. The game came down to the last minute with each team exchanging foul shots. Then with the game tied 49 all and the game clock at 7.3 seconds, North Catholic junior PJ Fulmore brought the ball up the court, circled in the left half of the front court and found senior Ryan Kirby at the foul line. Kirby let the shot go just before the game clock went to zero, the ball went through the hoop and the officials signaled that it was a good basket ending the game. CWNC Senior Dom Robb finished the game with 13 Points and Kirby added 12 for the Trojans. OLSH Senior Cameron Johnson had a game high 15 points and senior Kendall Paige and junior Hunter Szilagy each added 9 for the chargers. The Trojans record improves to 15 - 9 and they will face the number one seeded Lincoln Park Leopards Tuesday night. The Chargers' ends their season at 18 - 6.
Vincentian Academy Royals 88 - Clairton Bears 51
See Feature Article
Monessen Greyhounds 63 - Wilkinsburg Tigers 49
The Monessen Greyhounds advanced to the semi-finals in single A with a 63-49 win over the Wilkinsburg Tigers at Baldwin Friday night. The 'hounds got three players in double digits led by Clintell Gillaspie with 21 on the evening. Javon Brown chipped in 18 and Justice Rawlins 10 for Monessen which improves to 19-5 on the 2014 campaign. Wilkinsburg had built a 26-23 lead at halftime behind 13 first half points from D'shawn Adair, who finished with a game-high 22 on the night, but the Greyhounds were just dominant on the glass and wore down the smaller Tigers. Rawlins and Gillaspie consistently gave the Greyhounds multiple chances on the offensive end and made sure the Tigers were one and done on the other end. Gillaspie exploded in the second half when he scored 13 points including hitting three times from behind the arc. Brown scored 10 of his points in the fourth quarter as the 'hounds pressure defense started resulting in big-time offensive chances going the other way. Wilkinsburg's Isaiah Pete scored 11 points in the loss as the Tigers fall to 13-8 for first year head coach Eugene Wilson. Monessen moves on to face Vincentian Tuesday night in the semi-finals only here on the MSA Sports Network.
WPIAL CLASS AAAA Quarterfinals:
North Allegheny Tigers 50 - Shaler Titans 42
The top-seeded North Allegheny Lady Tigers advanced to the WPIAL Class AAAA semifinals for the first time in a decade with a 50-42 win over the Shaler Titans on Friday night at North Hills High School. The Lady Tigers led by as much as 16 points in the first half and held a 31-16 lead at intermission. However, the Titans, who were limited to just 22 percent shooting in the first half, inched back into the game thanks in large part to forward Andi Lydon. The 6-2 junior was helped to the locker room in the first half with an apparent ankle injury, but returned to the floor to provide Shaler with an emotional lift and a double-double. Lydon totaled 11 points and 17 rebounds and helped Shaler pull to within 40-34 with six minutes to play. The Tigers opened the door for the Titans comeback bid by converting only 11 of 21 free-throw attempts in the second half. While her teammates may have felt some playoff jitters, senior Taylor Brennan connected on 11 of 15 from the charity stripe to help North Allegheny hold off Shaler in the final quarter for the eight point victory. In addition to Brennan, Taylor Lake and Abby Gonzales netted 11 points apiece for the Tigers. For Shaler, University of Maryland-Baltimore County recruit C.J. Harris joined Lydon with 11 points on the night. Shaler finishes the season with a mark of 16-7. With its 21st win in a row, North Allegheny improves to 22-1 on the campaign and will face the Hempfield Spartans on Tuesday night in the WPIAL semifinals.
Hempfield Spartans 56 - Bethel Park Black Hawks 38
The #12 Hempfield Spartans cruised their way into the semifinals with yet another upset, this time over the #4 seeded Bethel Park Black Hawks, 56-38. The Spartans were led by the dominating play of senior point guard Monica Burns who finished with 19 points along with numerous assists and rebounds. Thanks to her performance along with 18 points from forward Leah Knizner and 11 from Michelle Burns, Hempfield played with a sizeable lead for most of the game. Bethel Park managed to cut the deficit to five going into halftime but the Spartans regained momentum in the second half and never looked back. Bethel Park's offensive struggles were apparent once again after surviving a low scoring affair versus Seneca Valley in the opening round. Shannon Conely led all scorers for the Black Hawks with 16 as well as eight from Justina Mascaro. Despite their best efforts, turnovers and a low field goal percentage plagued Bethel Park for most of the night and there was simply no answer for the play of Monica Burns. Hempfield will play North Allegheny this Tuesday night. You can hear that game here on the MSA Sports Network.
Penn-Trafford Warriors 32 - Mount Lebanon Blue Devils 24
The 'upset' minded WPIAL AAAA Section 1 girls playoff teams continued their bracket busting tonight when Penn-Trafford upset Mt. Lebanon at North Hills Junior-Senior High School. Penn-Trafford used stifling defense and time eating defense to beat the Blue Devils. It took the Blue Devils over 20 minutes for their first field goal of the game and in the Carlow University Post-Game interview Warriors' head coach John Giannikas attributed part of that to his girls hard work defensively. Mt. Lebanon had two points at halftime and both of them were off trips to the foul line while Penn-Trafford was able to open it up to an 18 point lead at the half. There wasn't much scoring in the 3rd quarter but it was Mt. Lebanon clawing back into the game. At the half point of the 3rd they made a jumper and clawed back to a 14 point deficit, 26-12 at the end of the third. The Blue Devils rode a 10-0 run to pull within 9 but that was as close as they'd get in the 4th. Penn-Trafford put the game away at the end of the fourth winning 32-24. Scoring for Mt. Lebanon were Anna Miller and Marge McCaffrey each with 3 points,Christine Ehland with 4, Maura Wallace with 6 and Madeleine Collins finished with 8. Penn-Trafford scoring players were Casey Aunkst with 2 points, Athena Biondi with 4, Kaila Simcoviack with 6, and Maria Palarino and Katy Abreu each with 8 points for the Warriors. Mt Lebanon dropped to 16-6 overall and Penn-Trafford went to 18-6 so far on the year. Penn-Trafford will go on to face Fox Chapel on Tuesday in the semi-finals on the MSA Sports Network at a site and time to be determined while Mt. Lebanon's season ends.
Fox Chapel Foxes 55 - Norwin Knights 51
Fox Chapel used a 16-0 run in the second & third quarters to take a lead they would never relinquish in defeating Norwin 55-51 in this WPIAL Girls Quad-A Quarterfinal matchup at North Allegheny. This contest was close throughout as the teams were tied 10-10 after the 1st quarter and Norwin led by 2 points at the half. The run gave the Foxes a 10-point lead but the Lady Knights battled back. Trailing by 2 late in the game, Norwin got the ball into the hands of their top scorer Alayna Gribble who made a great drive from the right wing to the left blocks. But Gribble's penetration took her too far underneath the basket and her layup attempt was short. Fox Chapel grabbed the rebound and sophomore Anna Kelly made two free throws to seal the win for the Foxes. Gribble who came into the contest averaging over 17 points-per-game finished with 9-points for the Lady Knights, teammates Julia Carter and Taylor Sabol (3-three-pointers) also added 9 point apiece for Norwin with Carter pulling down 9 rebounds. Junior guard Delaney Arbore paced the Lady Knights with 16-points including a pair of treys. The Foxes Duke bound senior Erin Mathias posted her second straight playoff double-double scoring 14-points and grabbing 15 rebounds. The 6-3 forward also blocked 3 shots in the win. Fox Chapel got great guard play in the win. Sophomore Kayla Slovenec led the Foxes with 16-points and pulled down 9 rebounds well fellow sophomore Taylor Cohen added 7-points, 5 in the 4th quarter. Freshman guard Gabby Badway netted 6-points for Fox Chapel while Kelly finished with 10. The loss ended Norwin's 11-game winning streak and while the sixth seeded Lady Knights have been eliminated from this tournament, their season may not yet be done. If Fox Chapel wins the WPIAL AAAA Championship, Norwin (17-6) would qualify for the state tournament as the 5th team from District. The Foxes, seeded third in the tournament, reached the semifinals for the first time since 2009. Fox Chapel, winners of 11 of their last 12 games, is now (19-4) on the season. The Foxes, who clinched a spot in the PIAA playoffs with the win, will take on seventh seeded Penn-Trafford in the final four. The Foxes and the Warriors will do battle next Tuesday night at a site & time to be determined.
WPIAL CLASS AA Quarterfinals:
Seton-LaSalle Rebels 69 - Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chargers 46
The Seton LaSalle Rebels used a high pressure team defense along with balanced scoring to defeat the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chargers in a quarterfinal WPIAL Class AA matchup Friday at Cornell High School. Seton-LaSalle played solid basketball at both ends of the floor and used their transition game to open up the scoring, taking a 12 point lead after one quarter. The second quarter was more of the same for the Chargers as the Rebels defense continued to attack the OLSH ball carriers with pressure growing their lead to 22, with a score of 42 to 24. Sophomore Bri VanVolkenburg led the Chargers and all scorers with 21 points, sophomore, Courtney Alexander added 8 and junior Heidi Langhorst chipped in 7 for OLSH. Junior Cassidy Walsh led the Rebels with 18 points, senior Yacine Diop added 15 and senior Naje Gibson added 12 for Seton-LaSalle. Sophomore Shaunay Edmonds and junior Nicolete Newman each chipped in with 8 points. The number one seed Rebels record improves to 20 and 4 and they will face the number 5 seed Bishop Canevin Tuesday night. The Chargers (16 and 8) will have to wait and see if they earn a spot in the PIAA playoffs.
Bishop Canevin Crusaders 49 - Neshannock Lancers 41
In a rematch of a Class AA first round playoff game in 2013, history repeated itself as the Bishop Canevin Crusaders ended the Neshannock Lancers' run toward WPIAL gold, this year in the quarterfinal round. Things got off to a rocky start for the Crusaders as they were outscored 16-6 in the first quarter and it looked like it might be a laugher in Neshannock's favor. However, Bishop Canevin got right back into the game, courtesy of a 12-1 run to begin the 2nd quarter, led by their standout senior guard, Johnie Olkosky. Olkosky (18 points) was blanked in the first quarter after missing all three shots that she took but she scored six points in the 12-1 run and helped the Crusaders get to within two points at halftime. It was Bishop Canevin's defense that allowed the Crusaders to take a lead in the 3rd quarter which they would never relinquish. Their pressing style caused twelve 2nd half Lancer turnovers (19 total). The Crusaders also got 18 points from sophomore Gina Vallecorsa and 8 points from Sarah Green. Madison McHale led Neshannock (22-2) with 15 points while Taylor Grybowski added 10 points. With the win, Bishop Canevin runs their record to 19-5 and their hopes of repeating their WPIAL title from last year remain. They will now advance to take on rival Seton-LaSalle in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
Burrell Buccaneers 79 - McGuffey Highlanders 68
Natalie Myers scored 23 points inside, Sydney Bordonaro pumped in 22 from the outside leading Burrell to a 79-68 win over McGuffey, the second straight year that the Bucs knocked the Highlanders out of the quarterfinals. Burrell (24-0) jumped in front early, thanks to field goals from Jessica Cercone and Erika Finn. Jaila Manga's three-pointer gave the Bucs a 9-2 margin. McGuffey (20-4) rallied to within 2 points late in the quarter, lead by Sammie Weiss driving the lane, scoring 8 points, then Katie Demi's trey. But an errant in-bound pass gave Burrell an easy basket at the buzzer, and a boost entering the second. Bordonaro got the buzzer beater, then added three treys in the first 2:40 of the second as Burrell pushed the lead to ten. Myers started burying short jumpers, adding 11 points in the quarter. Cassie Weiss hit a pair of treys, Rachel Czulewicz added another pulling the Highlanders within 5 points midway through the third period. But that's as far as the Bucs allowed the rally to go. Six different Burrell players scored in the fourth as the Bucs hit 10 of 15 free throws to seal the win. Sammie Weiss finished with a game-high 29 points, McGuffey's only player in double figures. Burrell advances to the WPIAL semifinals against Greensburg Central Catholic. If Burrell wins, or GCC goes on to win the WPIAL, McGuffey will advance to the PIAA tournament for the second year in a row.
Greensburg Central Catholic Centurions 63 - Carlynton Cougars 61
The Greensburg Central Catholic Centurions advanced to the girls AA semi-finals by defeating the Carlynton Cougars 63-61 Friday at Baldwin high school in a game that was not without a bit of controversy. Carlynton led at the break 33-31 behind 12 points each from Jordan Melko and Conor Richardson and the Cougars still held a lead with just over a minute to play in the third, Carlynton grabbed a defensive rebound and headed up court, at the time line the whistle blew and a foul was called against Greensburg Central Catholic, while the foul was being scored official to scorekeeper, Carlynton freshman guard Ashleigh Wilson entered the basketball game, without properly checking in with the scorekeeper, after a drawn out discussion officials charged Carlynton with a technical foul for illegal substitution, GCC junior guard Carolyn Appleby made both free throws and the Centurions got the ball as well. That foul seemed to knock the Cougars off their game as GCC went on a 12-0 run that turned a 2 point deficit into a 10 point lead. The Cougars would regroup behind the three point shooting of Conor Richardson to make it close and actually had a look at the end to tie or win but Richardson shot fell short. Richardson led all scorers in the loss with 25 points. Appleby scored 16 of her team-high 24 for the Centurions in the second half. GCC also got 19 from junior forward Leah Bisignani who along with Megan Stunja controlled the glass at both ends of the floor for the Centurions. Carlynton falls to 19-4 on the year while the Centurions improve to 19-4 and advance to the semi-finals to face the Burrell Bucs Tuesday night on the MSA Sports Network.

Citation: Moon, H., Callahan, A.M. 2004. Developmental regulation of peach Acc oxidase promoter-Gus fusions in transgenic tomato fruits. Journal of Experimental Botany, June 18, 2004. Interpretive Summary: Peach fruit have to be harvested while still firm and thus not fully ripe, in order to arrive in the marketplace intact. This requirement results in fruit with less than optimum flavor compared to that realized in tree-ripened fruit. As part of an on-going project to enhance peach flavor by delaying fruit softening through genetic engineering, a promoter sequence has been characterized. This is a necessary step to successfully introduce a new gene that will be capable of delaying fruit softening while allowing fruit flavor development. The new gene has to be expressed at specific times in fruit development, in specific amounts, and in specific tissues in order to have a positive effect on the trait that is being modified. To delay softening in peach fruit, so they may develop more flavor on the tree, the rate of ethylene production, a plant-produced gas that accelerates ripening/softening, will be reduced by introducing an anti-ethylene gene. Ethylene is also involved in other processes such as pollination and defense mechanisms against plant diseases and environmental stresses, that we do not want to be negatively affected. To accomplish that, the decrease in ethylene should only take place in fruit tissue during the time of ripening. To this end, the promoter sequence for a gene expressed during fruit ripening was identified and isolated. Various lengths of this promoter were used to express a marker gene, whose activity is easy to measure. Based on these studies we identified three regions of that promoter that are important. One region is able to express the marker gene in fruit tissue only. Another region is able to increase expression of that marker gene. The third region is able to express the marker gene at low levels in immature fruit, high levels in ripening fruit and again at low levels in the ripest fruit. These results will allow us to design a promoter sequence that could specifically restrict the expression of an anti-ethylene gene to ripening fruit without negatively affecting plant defense mechanisms against plant diseases and environmental stresses.
Technical Abstract: A genomic DNA sequence (PpACO1) encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) oxidase from peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch cv. Loring) was isolated. It has four exons interrupted by three introns and 2.9 kb of flanking region 5' of the translational start codon. Previous work with the cDNA demonstrated that accumulation of the peach ACC oxidase message occurs during the softening of ripening fruit, and that this response correlated with increasing amounts of ethylene synthesized by the fruit. To identify regulatory elements in the peach ACC oxidase gene, chimeric fusions between 403, 610, 901, 1319, 2141 and 2919 bp of the 5' flanking region of the PpACO1 sequence and the -glucuronidase (GUS) coding sequence were constructed and used to transform tomato [Lycopersica esculentum (Mill) cv. Pixie]. Fruits were harvested from individual transgenic plants and analyzed for GUS expression by histochemical GUS staining, GUS quantitative enzyme activity determination, and measuring the relative amounts of GUS RNA. Constructs with the smallest promoter of 403 bp had significant GUS expression in fruit but not in other tissues indicating the presence of a region that affects tissue specific expression. An increase in GUS expression was observed with promoters longer than 901 bp, indicating an enhancer region between -1319 and -901. The 2141 bp and the 1319 bp promoters drove GUS expression at relatively high levels in all fruit stages. The 2919 bp of PpACO1 upstream sequence directed GUS expression from the early green stage of fruit development, and increased GUS activity as fruit matured with the maximum at the final 'red' stage, indicating a regulatory region between -2919 and -2141 that controls the temporal expression of the gene in fruit. Less GUS staining was observed in the leaves and stems than in fruit. Quantitative RNA studies also indicated an enhanced amount of RNA with promoters longer than 901 bp and found that only the full-length 2919 bp promoter conferred consistent temporal expression similar to that of the native PpACO1 mRNA.

Wagner avoided elimination again on Sunday as John was booted off the show, but is again favourite to go this week and on Monday afternoon was a best price 85/40 for the boot with Victor Chandler (£50 free bet). The Sunday Mirror at the weekend reported that the Brazilian has been warned by the show's welfare officer over his behaviour after a series of incidents backstage and at the finalists' house. A source told the newspaper: "He makes the girls uncomfortable. He's touchy-feely and likes kissing and cuddling. "He's turned into a bit of a sex pest. In the house the girls dread him coming in. If he sits at the table and one of the girls is there they make their excuses and leave so they don't have to be near him. "If he's sitting next to a girl on a sofa he will think nothing of grabbing their legs and grabbing their face or trying to kiss them. "He says to them, 'You're beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're sexy' and pretends it's all fun, but when he's gone all the girls talk about how much they hate it." It was also claimed that the singer grabbed a make-up artist by the thigh, while a female researcher working on the show refuses to be in a room alone with him. Belle Amie (15/8) and Paije (5/1) are already been tipped to leave the show this coming weekend. Matt is the current favourite to win (7/4 Betfred - £50 free bet) ahead of One Direction (5/2 Victor Chandler) and Rebecca (11/2).

"We recently moved to the USA from our expat adventure and this was the perfect design. Plus, love the arrow placement as many people don't know where our new city is."
"Love these moving announcements! The black and white map with the red arrow adds a unique flair. Definitely an attention grabber!"
"I would maybe prefer ((aesthetically speaking)) that the corners be rounded, but otherwise I love the look of this design, and I love how customizable it is. My boyfriend and I met in Chicago so we got to a put a heart there, and then the little home icon where we now live. Could definitely use some more room for the note on the back ((maybe lessen the margins???)), but I think I worked around it..."
"I looked for a long time on a lot of sites for a moving announcement until I found these!! These are perfect! I am very happy with how they came out. They are of great quality, easy to personalize and less postage! They were delivered very quickly. I will definitely order from Tinyprints again."
"Loved the way I could personalize the places that I have lived and then mark where we lived now! Loved the chalk look! Postcard was perfect loved the standard saying on the back! Saved me time writing in each one! there was enough space left on bottom to write a little something to each person I sent it to so it felt more personal to them!"

A Measure Of Saving Grace...For You - Poem by r james sterzinger
Too little sleep
Too early rising
It's what I blame it on
Too many relatives coming through the door
Too early an hour.
On the way to a rare
Saturday church service
I cross North Minneapolis
In my red Grande AM
Listening to Charlton Heston
Reading Hemingway.
Harry is dying
Reflecting over a life
A life spent...
A life wasted.
As I pull up to the chapel
Walk up the driveway
A line comes to me
'He went to the chapel that morning
To save his soul
He knew he needed saving
He knew it was in his best interest
He didn't know if he cared, anymore.'
A good line
Not a great line
But it fit the morning
It might make a good opening
For a good poem
Maybe even a great one
No, just a good one.
I reminded myself to write it down...
After the service
I had coffee with a friend of mine
Told her about the line
She said, 'That's despair.
Despair is a sin.'
She smiled.
Despair, left
Her smile took it.
Would have made a good opening line,
But the truth be told,
I'll take a measure of saving grace...

A lawyer appealing the deportation of the son of an Egyptian terror suspect mounted an unusual legal challenge, claiming a Federal Court judge was biased against criminals.
Barbara Jackman, a Toronto immigration lawyer, submitted a statistical analysis of past decisions by Federal Court of Canada Justice Michel Shore to suggest he comes to court with a closed mind on cases involving immigration and criminality.
The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed that notion, however, calling the report methodologically unsound and tainted by ideology.
The study examining 54 previous judgments of Justice Shore was written by Osgoode Hall law professor Craig Scott, who is the NDP candidate for Toronto-Danforth, the riding of the party's late leader Jack Layton.
Mr. Scott concluded: "It is more likely than not that [the judge] will enter a courtroom in these kinds of cases without the kind of open mind that is needed to give a fair hearing to both parties."
His report said that of 54 decisions by Judge Shore — in which criminality was a relevant fact in an immigration or refugee case — the government succeeded in 53 of them.
Ms. Jackman argued in court that the judge displayed bias only in the one category of cases, namely when criminality is involved. Further, she called it an "unconscious" bias stemming from a "fixation" about "enforcement."
It is rare for a lawyer to mount such a challenge against a sitting judge, and it highlights the difficulties surrounding judicially deciding emotional and heated subjects.
Outside of court, Ms. Jackman was uncomfortable discussing it.
"He's a good judge. We raised the legal issues about his decision-making in this one particular respect," she told the National Post. "I'd rather just argue in court."
Allegations of bias are treated seriously. The Supreme Court of Canada previously declared such a suggestion "calls into question not simply the personal integrity of the judge, but the integrity of the entire administration of justice."
Three appeals court judges studied Mr. Scott's report but dismissed and debunked his conclusions.
"We have grave concerns about the objectivity and independence of the opinion," wrote Justices Carolyn Layden-Stevenson, Johanne Gauthier and David Stratas in their decision.
"The opinion offered in support of this allegation of bias falls well short of the mark.
"Some of the schedules to the opinion reveal editorial comments about some of the decisions using language that is gratuitous, intemperate and ideological. Further, the opinion expresses dislike for some of the jurisprudence of the Federal Court and this court. This colours the opinion's assessment of the judge's decisions."
Ms. Jackman's client is Al-Muzir Es-Sayyid, 22, a son of Mahmoud Jaballah, who was arrested on a rare national security certificate a decade ago. Mr. Jaballah is alleged to have been a senior member of Al Jihad, a group linked to al-Qaeda.
Mr. Es-Sayyid arrived in Canada in 1996 at the age of seven with his family and was granted refugee protection against political persecution in Egypt.
'It's important to keep in mind that, in these kinds of cases, parties do not need to prove bias only 'a reasonable apprehension of bias'
He never became a Canadian citizen. He faces no terrorism allegations but adopted a gangster lifestyle, amassing more than a dozen criminal convictions, including armed robbery, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of heroin. After a spree of robberies targeting sex trade workers, he was declared a "danger to the public of Canada" and ordered deported.
Ms. Jackman, who also represents Mr. Jaballah, has been fighting for a reprieve.
The bias appeal stems from a previous hearing on the case when Ms. Jackman exchanged blunt words with Judge Shore, asking him to step aside due to bias. He refused. Ms. Jackman then requested his decision be made before the weekend since she knew he was going to deny her motion and she wanted to file an appeal while court was still open. Judge Shore then ruled against her client.
It is the appeal of that decision that brought the more detailed allegations of bias.
Andrew Baumberg, the court's executive officer, said Judge Shore was not available for comment.
Mr. Scott also could not be reached for comment.
The IRB has ordered Mr. Es-Sayyid to remain in detention pending deportation.
He has other court appeals pending and his removal has been stayed until March 12 to allow a request for the Supreme Court to hear his appeal on issue of bias.
The appeal court's dismissal of the report does not erase concerns over judicial decision-making, said Sean Rehaag, an assistant professor at Osgoode Hall Law School who has studied patterns in Immigration and Refugee Board [IRB] decisions.
"It's important to keep in mind that, in these kinds of cases, parties do not need to prove bias only 'a reasonable apprehension of bias.' So the question is: would a reasonable person, viewing the matter objectively, be concerned that Justice Shore would not decide the matter fairly based on these stats?" said Mr. Rehaag.
"At some point, concerns surely arise."
Mr. Rehaag previously found a huge disparity in decisions made by IRB adjudicators: In 2010, one IRB judge granted none of the 62 refugee requests before him while another granted all of the 35 she heard.

The Global Food Challenge
A Sustainable Development Forum Event
Dr. Shenggen Fan
Director General, IFPRI
March 18, GWU, 12 pm -1:30 pm
Lindner Family Commons, Room 602
Elliott School 1957 E Street, NW
About the Event
This forum will be based on the global food challenge:
- How can we feed 9 billion people while reducing agriculture's environmental footprint?
- What will it take to finally eradicate hunger?
