Berlusconi back in the fray
Former PM returns after months in the shadows to attack Monti Government
Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has returned to the political frontline after months in the shadows, vowing to abolish a key tax on homes in remarks likely to stoke investors' jitters about Italy's future after an election next spring.
But the 75-year-old media magnate is keeping Italy guessing about whether he will stand for Prime Minister at the head of his centre-right People of Freedom (PDL) party in the election.
Berlusconi, one of the country's richest men, attacked the policies of his successor, unelected technocrat Mario Monti, in his first interview to Italian media since being forced from power last November, when Italy teetered on the edge of a Greek-style debt crisis.
Berlusconi said in the interview with Il Giornale daily that the PDL would abolish a deeply unpopular tax on homes worth €20 billion a year, which is a major plank in Monti's tough austerity programme to cut Italy's huge debt.
The former European Commissioner has restored Italy's credentials since he took over from the scandal-plagued Berlusconi at a time when a loss of confidence had pushed the country's borrowing costs to untenable levels.
Berlusconi, who has remained out of the limelight for months, said the tax on the owner of every house in Italy must be repealed in the same way his Government abolished a previous levy in 2008.
Avoiding property taxes has been a constant theme for Berlusconi, who dominated Italian politics for 17 years until his fall last November.
"The home is a pillar on which every family has the right to base its security for the future," he said in the interview conducted on a cruise down the Adriatic coast last weekend for Il Giornale readers and published on Monday.
Berlusconi, whose party has slumped in popularity since he left power, said he wanted to see which electoral law would be used before deciding whether to stand in a poll that must be held by next April.
He failed to turn up on Friday for a Rome rally at which many supporters hoped he would throw his hat in the ring.
Senior party officials have repeatedly predicted he will be their candidate.
Uncertainty over how to change the voting system – so bad it is universally called the 'pigsty law' – is at the centre of Italy's instability ahead of the elections, with the parties in turmoil and under threat from populist movements.
An opinion poll published by the Corriere della Sera daily on Sunday showed two-thirds of Italians, suffering in a deep recession and fed up with traditional parties, were undecided how to vote or intended to abstain or cast a protest ballot.
Only 36 per cent intended to vote for a mainstream party. The uncertainty has unsettled investors, who are worried that a new political government could tear up Monti's unpopular reforms and plunge the eurozone's third largest economy back into crisis.
Berlusconi attacked Genoese comic Beppe Grillo, whose anti-establishment Five-Star Movement is snapping at the heels of the weakened PDL, saying his support would evaporate when the public realised he was incapable of governing even a small city.
"Grillo is an extraordinary comic actor... and what is he doing now? He is doing exactly the same trade as before."
In remarks that may be aimed at sowing confusion in the centre-left Democrat Party, Berlusconi praised young Florence mayor Matteo Renzi who is challenging party leader Pier Luigi Bersani in electoral primaries expected in November.
Berlusconi said Renzi, on the rightwing of the party, was pursuing exactly the same policies as the PDL and would transform the PD from a communist into a social democrat group.
A new IPR poll published on Monday showed that whereas Monti's popularity had increased by three per cent to over 50 per cent – way above the political leaders – the rating for his ministers and overall Government had fallen by about the same amount.
Many business leaders are pushing for Monti to come back as Prime Minister after the election, even though he says he is not available.
One party, the centrist UDC, is campaigning on this proposal.
A suggested alternative for the foundering politicians is to have one of Monti's technocrat ministers stand for Prime Minister, but the popularity of the leading candidate, Industry Minister Corrado Passera, fell by two points to 46 per cent in the poll.

Question: My husband and I were having lunch in the garden this week and our attention was drawn to the large number of bees feeding on the flowers around us. There seemed to be two different types of bees in the garden. They all looked like introduced honeybees, but some were bigger and had larger eyes than the others. We thought the larger ones were male honeybees (drones), but perhaps they're different species of bee. Can you help?
Answer: The bee on the left is indeed an introduced European Honeybee (Apis melifera). It is a worker bee and therefore a female.
You are right in saying that male honeybees, or drones, are larger than the female workers and have larger eyes, but drones do not collect food for themselves or the hive. They are fed by the workers - their sole function in life is to mate with new queens. Therefore, the larger "bees" you saw feeding on the flowers could not have been male honeybees. In fact, they were not even bees.
The insect on the right is actually a fly, commonly known as the Rat-tailed Maggot or Drone Fly (Eristalis tenax). It looks and behaves like a bee, but if you look carefully you will see that its second pair of wings is reduced to small club-like structures known as halteres. These structures are possessed by many of the fly species and are used to assist with flying.
Rat-tailed Maggot Flies are excellent mimics of European Honeybees. This is a very clever strategy for an animal with few defences: if you look like an animal that has a painful sting, predators are much more likely to leave you alone.
Adult Rat-tailed Maggot Flies feed on nectar. They are important pollinators and are particularly attracted to yellow flowers. The larvae can be up to 20 mm long and feed on decaying organic matter or highly nitrogenous waste found in places such as drains, sewers and slurry from dairies and kennels. The larvae have a long breathing tube 30 to 40 mm long on their rear end, which gives them the appearance of being rat-tailed. The tube acts like a snorkel and they use it to breathe when they are submerged in their feeding material.
The Discovery Centre has identified a number of these Rat-tailed Maggot larvae for people who have found them in their toilet bowls. Larvae feeding in the waste in septic systems can get drawn into the system when the toilet is flushed. This has caused people to panic, assuming that the maggot has come from them. However Rat-tailed Maggots are not an internal parasite of people.

Renowned for her highly acclaimed and best-selling British histories, Alison Weir has in recent years made a major impact on the fiction scene with her novels about Queen Elizabeth and Lady Jane Grey. In this latest offering, she imagines the world of Eleanor of Aquitaine, the beautiful 12th-century woman who was queen of France until she abandoned her royal husband for the younger man who would become king of England.
In a relationship based on lust and a mutual desire for great power, Henry II and Eleanor took over the English throne in 1154, thus beginning one of the most influential reigns and tumultuous royal marriages in all of history. In this novel, Weir uses her extensive knowledge to paint a most vivid portrait of this fascinating woman.
©2010 Alison Weir (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"A Tudor specialist, popular British historian Weir has ventured, with great success, into the increasingly expansive world of historical fiction…The history itself is inherently dramatic, augmented here by Weir's usual lush detail, which stimulates rather than detracts from the well-paced narrative." (Booklist)
"Why the Negativity?"
I don't understand why everyone is slamming this book. I enjoyed it. The narrator was excellent and the book was accurate. I think because Wier mostly writes nonfiction, most people were expecting this in her novel. I like this one better than 'Innocent Traitor'. For all those who were complaining about the amount of sex in the book, what do you expect? They had nine children (?) including the two sons who died, and Henry was notorious for his mistresses. Family drama, Beckett and her imprisonment all portrayed well, including Richard's rumored homosexuality. I would recommend for any Eleanor fan, this gives a well rounded opinion, showing both her strength and shortcomings. She is still the heroine, so stop your whining.
"It Read Like Living with Queen Eleanor"
I loved this book and this is one of the best historical fiction novels I have ever "read". Alison Weir not only has a great ability to tell a beautiful story but to also weave in the true details in a way that make it engaging and wanting to know more about other characters you meet. I was looking up historical accounts of her story and was finding that anything with actual fact, really did happen. The only difference between fact and fiction was the specific dialogue (except for what King Henry said about Thomas Beckett).
I wish my history classes were like this because it was like watching a TV show in my head about all the captivating things this queen and strong woman did in Middle Age England.
"I could not stop listening!"
Yes, I love historical stories about kings and queens. This was well written and expertly narrated. The story covers not just a romance, but the history and Weirs point of view for the life of a rich and intriguing women living through a male dominated life. Her trials and tribulations were great, but in the end, with the love of her many children, she was able to rise above it all.
The emotions and fire of the Queen
"Very sad Love story"
A wonderful love story that turns to a very sad love lost story. I love the old England history and the Kings & Queens the rule the lands. The narrator does a great job of bring the actors to life and making you feel as if you are there and living the story for yourself. Wonderful!! love it so much.
"Good as the others"
Love all the stories I have listened to of Alison Weir. This was as good as the others.
"I loved it...alot of depth and surprises..."
Yes....the narrator had a captivating voice, and the work itself by the author was very good.
"The fatal Queen" by Ellen Jones.... is another book on Eleanor of Aquitaine, with a feminine perspective and well written. Also, in ways Phillipa Gregorys books are similar. But, this book by Allison Weir seemed somehow more mature. You could see the span of girl to mother, to grandmother, to elderly woman in Eleanor of Aquitaine in this book. It wasn't merely focused on romance.
Oh I loved her narration so well, she is a great vocal actress, truly talented, she was even able to somehow....change the tone of her voice to reflect the characters aging in the story. The very last chapter actually brought me to tears.
A woman of our times ...trapped in a medieval world...
There should be more books like these that focus on all aspects of a person's life from start to finish...it is , as if , you grow with Eleanor....and really step into the life of a queen hundreds of years ago. I love to see her emotional growth, and see the surprising depth of emotional entanglements, this is not a book of flash and quick thrills....its a deeper....intensity. There are lifelong lessons every woman goes through in one way or another covered here. I love Alison Weir for writing this lovely book!!
OCD over books, listening to 1 a day; ANY genre, fact & fiction. Influenced by Audible reviewers so I keep mine unbiased - FRONT to BLACK!
Alison Weir seems to be losing her edge. I've always been a fan of her writing but, recently, her books are coming off like romance novels. I love Eleanor of Aquitaine - I know she was a ***ch sometimes but, hey, she was a woman in a man's world! In this book, she is portrayed as flighty and slutty, rather than the woman with a purpose who lived her life like a man. I've purchased every Weir audio book available here but this one just might be my last!
"Masterful Storytelling."
I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone who loves stories of European royalty. The author spins this tale with such realism t hat I feel as though I became intimately acquainted with the actual characters of history. I was drawn in so completely that I seemed to be reliving the events of that time. The narrator is superb storyteller . She brings the characters to life with her skilled vocal modulation.
"Absolutely Fantastic"
I could not stop listening to this book and looked for every opportunity to plug my headphones in and turn it back on. Great story and characters!
"Entertaining "
I enjoyed the story and the narrator. Overall it had decent historical accuracy and a good story. I have listened to it twice.

I should first say that Streets of Rage 2 is easily one of my favorite games of all time. The first Streets of Rage was okay for the time, and 3 was great even with Sega's seeming concentrated effort to destroy ruin the American version of the game. When I first heard about Streets of Rage Remake, I was interested, but having played quite a few fan-made beat'em ups like Beats of Rage, I wasn't particularly optimistic. I first played remake with version 4, which was pretty good. It was definitely the best fan-made beat'em up, but as a hardcore fan of the original series, I was annoyed by little details that were off. The newly released version 5, the final version, fixes pretty much every problem I had with it, and added a bunch of cool stuff.
My main problem with version 4 was the hit detection. The vertical size of hitboxes were too small, giving the enemies the ability to side step your attacks way too easily. While it was cool that the motorcycle stages, which were originally cut from Streets of Rage 3, were finished and put in the game, in version 4 they were too easy and kind of boring. The cool star system and X moves from 3 were missing. One thing that may have irked some people was the move re-balancing, making some characters better and toning other down, but I'm okay with this because we don't need another game where Axel is the only character that matters.
In the final version hit detection is spot on, the motorcycle (and now jet ski) levels are more interesting and difficult, and the star system and X moves have returned. The moves are still don't have the exact properties of the 2 or 3, but with the vast variety of characters, I'm okay with this. You can play as any playable character from the first three games including separate versions for characters that appeared in more than one of them, as well as some that are new and you'd never expect to play as, but I won't spoil it.
There are tons of levels. Every level from the original three games, including remastered versions of the original Streets of Rage, and brand new ones are available in a massive branching format. There are tons of great remixed songs for the different levels. There are tons of neat bonus things to unlock. Basically, I'm saying that the Bomber Games has created the ultimate version of Streets of Rage, and I want them to know that I love them. This post may seem to be glowing, but I can't help it. Sega may never give us Streets of Rage 4, but now we have this, and it's pretty much the best game in the best series of 2D beat'em ups ever.
Go and download it and play it now. You have no excuse, it is free.
|I've been too happy with the last few games. I'll play something I hate tomorrow.

Terrorists were decent people once, just like us
Page Tools
It is not giving in to terrorists to try to understand what drives people to such violent acts. How can we judge those who have snapped after decades of horrendous abuse, like the Chechens, Palestinians and Iraqis?
Drawing a line between "decent people" like ourselves and "monsters" like terrorists does not help bring an end to violence. If we are so different from terrorists, why do we support war that kills thousands of children? Why is revenge our first impulse? Why is it OK to lock up other people's children?
Violence happens because we forget that other people are just like us - except they have usually suffered a great deal more.
Debby O'Brien, Armidale, September 10.
There has to be talk. Talk is working, stemming the flow of blood in Northern Ireland and in Sri Lanka. Inevitably politics must prevail over physical repression.
Much "terrorism" is seen by its perpetrators as fighting for recognition, for political, ethnic or religious self-determination. They are frustrated by authorities resisting change and challenge. Such reaction merely breeds more violent resistance, escalating the problem.
As world superpowers, the US and now Russia loudly proclaim their right to carry the counter-attack beyond their borders. As in Roman times, they will make a desert and call it peace.
Basil Johnson, Weston (ACT), September 10.
Instead of crowing nebulously about winning the war on terrorism, why can't our leaders say: "We will work to diffuse the terrorist threat"? Or is war an industry we would like to keep developing in Australia?
James Rogers, Newtown, September 10.
There is already the predictable knee-jerk reaction from the anti-Howard brigade to the Australian embassy bombing in Jakarta. Out has trotted the old chestnut that our intervention in Iraq has made Australia a greater target for terrorists.
Australia became a target for Islamic extremists after our intervention in East Timor. We incurred the wrath of bin Laden and Jemaah Islamiah because our support for East Timorese independence frustrated the creation of a pan-Islamic state in South-East Asia.
We can thank the Prime Minister for making us a bigger terrorist target. However, it was a consequence of John Howard's brave interdiction in East Timor, something that the vast majority of Australians supported, not our participation in the Iraq war.
A. Wakeley, Dural, September 10.
How is it we can spend $700 million ridding a far-off land of a despot when that money could have been spent in our region on education, health and social welfare, sowing the seeds of justice and demonstrating our humanity to our neighbours?
Where do our priorities lie? Following the orders of a foreign president, or creating a safer, more just region in which to live?
Michael Knapp, Camperdown, September 10.
Terrorism is a war where the prize is public opinion. The latest attack in Indonesia has some people suggesting we talk to Jemaah Islamiah and al-Qaeda, to give them what they want so they'll leave us alone.
Why not? It worked for Chamberlain against Hitler, didn't it?
Judith Rona, Bondi, September 10.
We are in the midst of a religious war and we are no less guilty than our opponents in placing the rightness of our own cause under the banner of a God that we mistakenly believe to be far more superior to the god of Islam.
The only way that we in the Christian West will stop Islamic extremism is not to be hell-bent on eliminating these terrorists, but to settle our long-standing religious differences in a way that will bring both honour and justice to the dignity of our inalienable common humanity.
The Reverend Dr Vincent Zankin, Rivett (ACT), September 10.
Miles Campbell (Letters, September 10), I wonder why no one else thought of inviting bin Laden to the negotiating table?
Maybe it's because historically, the policy of appeasement was already experimented with by Chamberlain with Hitler? Maybe it's because inviting him to the table legitimises his cause? Maybe it's just because no one can find him?
And once you got him to the table, what would you offer someone who's willing to kill himself as long as he takes you with him?
David Grunstein, Bondi, September 10.
I was surprised to read the various letters today seeking to blame the recent terrorist actions on Western leaders, instead of the actual extremist perpetrators. These misguided sentiments smack of appeasement.
Bryan M. Doyle, Ambarvale, September 10.
The anguish on the faces of the brother and sister waiting for news of their father brought tears to my eyes this morning. It captured a moment of pain that must be replicated all over the world whenever an American soldier, an Iraqi bystander, a Russian child is killed.
Let us keep asking why war is the answer. When is it justified? What is this pain worth?
Jessica Stewart, Gladesville, September 10.
Children should learn how to clean up as well
Paola Totaro is right when she laments the passing of emu parades and bin duty in schools ("Bin duty teaches kids good lessons for life," Herald, September 10). There are plenty of grubs among our school populations and the matter is only made worse when it is expected that only paid cleaners will clean up after them. Parents who object to their children picking up papers ought to be ashamed of themselves.
David Morrison, Springwood, September 10.
Of course students would be capable of cleaning school toilets and grounds during the current strike. The reason schools are closed instead is that, in this era of litigation, there is the risk that should someone sue for a slip on a banana skin or develop an illness, the court would favour the litigant because the cleaning was not done by a professional.
J. Archer Dural, September 10.
I couldn't help but empathise with Paola Totara. Doesn't the thrust of not having children cleaning up playgrounds send the wrong message? If it is OK to litter a playground and leave it there, is it any wonder that our streets and parks become polluted? Surely the little darlings can dirty their hands to the extent that they learn some good habits for the future.
Lars Newman, Fairlight, September 10.
Those who wonder why school students and their teachers don't pick up the cleaning during the cleaners' strike miss the point.
Students are at school to learn and teachers are suffering an increased workload under ever sharper cutbacks. Neither is there to scab on hard-working cleaners who want to maintain basic jobs, conditions and hours, some after more than 40 years of serving the public. It's called solidarity - something both Coalition and ALP governments are trying to make extinct.
Good on the cleaners, teachers and students for supporting each other. Shame on you, Bob Carr.
Paul Benedek, Stanmore, September 10.
To change my vote takes more than small change
Just when I thought the major parties had left me out of the policies and government largesse - mature-age worker, no mortgage, child left home - John Howard is going to give me a $500 tax break ("Older workers next in tax break queue", Herald, September 10).
Prime Minister, I don't know how to thank you but $10 a week won't change who I am going to vote for and it is no incentive to keep me in full-time work.
I think both parties are trying to outspend each other and making policy on the run. Only four more weeks; can we stand it?
Robert Pallister, Punchbowl, September 10.
The ALP claims to be sympathetic with low-income earners. How can it reconcile this claim with its plans to terminate the superannuation co-payment for low-income employees now paid by the Coalition Government?
Jack Mott, Rockhampton (Qld), September 9.
Uncivil law
How uncivil is it of the Government to say that someone born in Australia is not Australian ("Born in Australia, but child's wish to stay is denied", Herald, September 10)?
And isn't it time it let detainees into the workforce? This could happen after a year, while their situation is being investigated. They could work and pay taxes and report to the police every week. Think of the money saved by not keeping these people locked up. The Government would make money, or does it have so much it doesn't know what to do with it all?
Ron Field, Bermagui, September 10.
Back on the road
I have not travelled on CityRail for about a year but for the past two days I have had to endure CityRail's "exceptional" service while I travelled from Lidcombe to St Leonards. On both days the train arrived 15 minutes late.
On day one the carriage intercom wasn't working properly so it took me a while to hear the message. The train was supposed to go to Gordon but CityRail chose to terminate it at Lindfield. Moreover, the train wouldn't be stopping at St Leonards.
On day two the train terminated at Lindfield again but luckily it stopped at St Leonards.
I am looking forward to returning my car to the road congestion where I can leave and arrive on time and in comfort.
Andy Thomas, St Leonards, September 9.
Judged on their merits
The NSW Court of Criminal Appeal has said magistrates are too soft ("No excuse to drink and drive, courts told", Herald, September 9).
Magistrates see offenders in person and in considering sentencing options are addressed both by a police prosecutor and a lawyer, and frequently have the benefit of pre-sentence reports. Which is more likely to be out of whack? The magistrates who see first hand people who come before the courts or various community groups which fancy that punishment should perhaps start with the death penalty and work upwards from there?
Alan Mitchell, Dungog, September 9.
No hang-ups for Norm
Norm Neill's advocacy of "polite rejection" of telemarketers (Letters, September 10) has thankfully restored my faith in humanity. The one thing that has been clearly established by the advice given by your other readers is that telemarketers bring out the worst in people.
Jodi Kofsky, Dover Heights, September 10.
I have a good solution to the problem. I just tell 'em I'm unemployed. Kills the call stone dead.
Frank McQuade, Kogarah, September 10.
I used to have no time for telemarketers either, until my mum began telemarketing for South Australia's Blind Society selling art union tickets.
I imagined people being rude to her, yet her cheerfulness no doubt prevailed.
Mike LeClerc, Dulwich Hill, September 10.
Spin on the spinners
Trevor Marshallsea makes the point ("Muralitharan puts his own spin on missing Test team of the year selection", Herald, September 10) that Muttiah Muralitharan's 532 wickets have come from only 91 Tests, yet Shane Warne's 527 have taken 112. This is true but misleading.
Murali bowls more than Warne and averages 57 overs per Test while Warne averages 47. To date Warne has bowled only 61 more overs than Murali.
Clive McLellan, Baulkham Hills, September 10.
It's time to put our flag on our flag
The Eureka flag would go well in place of the Union Jack. Another flag we could use would be the Aboriginal flag. Put the flag in the corner. Leave the rest, but replace the blue with black. It would look stunning and would acknowledge the original people. We could retain the stars and have them in their real context: white stars in a black sky. The flag would speak for us all.
David Neilson, Armidale, September 10.
Crossed lines
Can I trump M. Mercurius (Letters, September 9) for extreme mobile madness? On a crowded Illawarra line train the gentleman across the aisle from me makes a call. The lady standing between the gentleman and me answers her ringing mobile. He says: "Hi, did you make the train?" She says: "Yes, what carriage are you on?" "Second from back." "So am I." "Upstairs or downstairs?" It wasn't until the whole carriage was staring at them in smirking disbelief that they twigged.
Tim Raimond, Heathcote, September 10.
Putting the brakes on
Would Peter O'Hara (Letters, September 9) have been so dismissive if Nicole Meehan had been talking about the difficulty of wheelchair access rather than for prams? Users of either often encounter difficulties regardless of the equipment's size, such as cars parked across footpaths or blocking laybacks.
Manda Leong Johnston, North Strathfield, September 10.
Furnished a solution
Changing chairman to chairperson to be gender-sensitive should go all the way (Letters, September 10). As "son" must be politically incorrect, the correct term should be "chairperone".
Peter Nightingale, Willoughby, September 10.
Madam chairman (aka acting letters editor), I move that matters of chairman and ombudsman lie on the table. There are more important issues.
Allan Gibson, Cherrybrook, September 10.
Fighting words
Ever heard of Boadicea, Miranda Devine ("The rise of the women warriors", Herald, September 9)?
A. Doe, Russell Lea, September 10.
Would you believe ...
George Bush may resemble Maxwell Smart (Letters, September 10), but Philip Ruddock definately looks like Mr Burns from The Simpsons.
Brian Johnstone, Leura, September 10.
Do-gooders v do-badders
I am extremely sorry that the freedoms of Mosman's Jann Gray (Letters, September 9) have been "eroded and quashed by greenie do-gooders". However, more sober thought might bring one to the conclusion that were it not for selfish acts the ozone layer and its associated environmental infrastructure might still be in good shape.
Bill Young, Greenwich, September 10.

UK Tax
UK Tax Questions? Ask a UK Tax Advisor for answers ASAP
An atypical situation for you... I am British and have been resident in France for a long long time. Built up a successful activity as English Language Trainer to the French pharmaceutical industry. One Paris-based technical training institute gives me work, and I go all over French-speaking Europe for them, doing about 50 days per year, classed as consultancy. I was an "autoentrepreneur" (French sole trader), but went way above their threshold of 32,000 euros, so I backed out, as a proper French company is not what I want (already done it, very heavy structure). I now wish to settle in England, and travel to France to do the work. I rent a flat in France for this, and have a car over there to get to stations and local clients. I would prefer not to be VAT-registered as I will never reach £79,000. I have one "client" (as mentioned above), with whom I have a fine ongoing relationship. I am the exclusive provider of the language service they sell, so the future with them is guaranteed. I am 63 but enjoy working and have no wish to retire. Question: is this a feasible situation for a sole trader? Could I deduct as expenses the cost of travel to France, rent and car over there? How do I transfer from French social security to NHS (I have an NHS number)? I would like to do this change-over this summer. Thanks for your help, Steve

text: GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., July 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPE), a biopharmaceutical company developing repurposed drugs and new molecular entities (NMEs) that treat inflammatory diseases, including osteoarthritis, diabetic macular edema (DME) and sexual dysfunction and conducting clinical trials on its four lead drugs (Ampion ™, Optina ™, Zertane ™ & Zertane-ED ™) announced today the advancement of NCE001, from its proprietary methylphenidate derivatives family of compounds, to preclinical development for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, renal cell carcinoma and inflammatory breast cancer following the granting of multiple composition of matter and use patents in the USA, Canada, Europe and China. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120516/MM09116LOGO) Dr. David Bar-Or, Ampio's Chief Science Officer (CSO) explained the focus on this particular drug, "NCE001 activates a specific intracellular phosphatase largely involved in inflammation, angiogenesis and cell proliferation pathways and has demonstrated remarkable in vitro effects on aggressive cancer cells of these three lineages. We believe it may play an important role in treating these particularly aggressive cancers. Ampio has entered into a development agreement with Syngene International ( Bangalore, India) to manufacture and conduct all preclinical stages of development of NCE001 all the way to an IND submission to the FDA. These three cancers do not have adequate treatment options so NCE001 may qualify for an accelerated approval path by regulatory agencies including the FDA." Michael Macaluso, Ampio's CEO noted, "Our recent successful financing and our confidence that we will successfully out-license our more advanced drugs means we need to begin development of lead compounds to replace them. The pre-clinical demonstration of efficacy of NCE001, the accelerated approval process, the relative low cost of development through an IND and the strong composition of matter patents recently granted worldwide make this a prudent decision at this time." FDA's Accelerated Approval Process: FDA's accelerated approval regulations allow accelerated approval of products to treat serious or life-threatening diseases based on surrogate endpoints that are reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. From December 11, 1992, to July 1, 2010, the FDA granted accelerated approval to 35 oncology products for 47 new indications. Clinical benefit was confirmed in post-approval trials for 26 of the 47 new indications, resulting in conversion to regular approval. The median time between accelerated approval and regular approval of oncology products was 3.9 years (range = 0.8–12.6 years) and the mean time was 4.7 years, representing a substantial time-savings in terms of earlier availability of drugs to cancer patients. About Syngene International: Syngene is an internationally reputed contract research and manufacturing organization with multidisciplinary skills in chemistry and biology services. From early stage discovery and process development through to cGMP manufacturing, Syngene provides customized services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology majors, on a strong platform of confidentiality and intellectual property protection.

Hey Aggie, I love your thread it is motivation for me! Got a couple of questions for you.
1) Do you have a before and after dyno of the stett performance silicone intake boots? I know they're mainly for eliminating the torn rubber causing vaccum leaks, and I just replaced mine back in Jan, but it seems like they smooth out the flow a bit compared to the stock ones with the bellows in them. So I'm really tempted to get them for this reason, and if no one else has before and after dyno's then if I spring for these then I'll get an after since I already have a before.
2) Underdrive pulleys I know you're running evosports and they seem to offer the best performance, anywhere to get them besides evosports site?
3) Tune, I know you just have the sharkinjector, but I presume you might be getting a custom tune sometime in the future. So are you going to just go with AA or ESS, or do you have someone who can tune the MS43 software? I would personally love to get a custom dyno tune done, but no one around me seems to be able to work with any of the siemens ecm point blank period. Although my dyno guy and someone else from this forum who is big into running e36 race cars (wish I could remember his name on here otherwise I'd be talking in depth with him right now) are working on rigging up motech (or maybe its motos?) so that they can custom tune the siemens. Anyways if you have someone who can work with the siemens let me know because I am interested!!!!

Fallout 3?
View Single Post
September 16th, 2007, 12:59
The games I think about in relation to Bethesda (as the creators of FO3) are:
The Elderscrolls Arena
The Elderscrolls Daggerfall
The Terminator: Future Shock
The Elderscrolls Legends: Battlespire
The Elderscrolls Adventures: Redguard
The Elderscrolls Morrowind (and expansions)
The Elderscrolls Oblivion (and expansion)
Bethesda developed and released a ton of sports and racing games internally as well, but I don't really take them into consideration as they're not related to FO in terms of genre or style.
Every single game on my list has serious flaws that prevent it from realising its potential, except perhaps for Redguard which had a modest ambition and which I didn't bother to complete. However, it seemed reasonably well done overall for what it was.
This is of course entirely my personal opinion, but I really do think the flaws in question are serious enough to instill permanent doubt in me, regarding their ability to ever create a wholesome quality experience. But hopefully I will one day be proven wrong, and given the fact that they're using a variant of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system instead of their own extremely dull system from TES games, there might be a shimmer of hope with FO3.
Too bad I'm not really into the whole post-apocalyptic setting which I find a bit too depressing. I know I'm a freak here, but I couldn't enjoy Fallout on quite the same level as most of you undoubtedly did. But as a game, it was consistently great from start to finish.

Twinsburg - The city may look to house all of its prisoners in Solon's much larger jail beginning in January 2013, a move that Police Chief Chris Noga says could save the city up to $100,000 per year in real costs and a reallocation of resources.
According to Noga, who was to present the plan to City Council Nov. 27, Twinsburg spends about $152,000 per year running its 12-day, 8-cell jail attached to the police station at Government Center.
A proposed 3-year, $85,200 per year flat rate contract with the city of Solon for use of its 26-person jail that can house prisoners for up to one year would save the city in part-time jailer costs, utility costs, administration and booking of prisoners, as well as transport costs, Noga estimates.
"We're still working out the terms," Noga said, "but this is a really good option for us ... there's the opportunity for significant savings here."
Solon Police Chief Chris Viland confirmed he's been working over the last several months on the somewhat unique contract with Twinsburg. Solon has a working contract with a number of communities to house prisoners on a per-prisoner basis, but only the Twinsburg contract would be paid at a flat annual fee.
"This will allow his officers to make an arrest, drop them off [in Solon] and get back on the road without the booking and jailing duties and related costs," Viland said. "On my end, I have a steady stream of revenue with which I can plan a year in advance."
Noga said he expects the first 36-month contract with Solon to begin by January, if legislation can be assembled and approved by Council in December.
Solon maintains a full service, dormitory-style jail, complete with a doctor's office and kitchen, where prisoners can be incarcerated for up to a year.
Unlike the Twinsburg jail, Solon's has staff on duty around the clock, Noga said.
"Now, rather than having an officer stop in for 15 minutes at night to check on the jail, I can have them on the road full time," Noga said.
Noga also said the city of Twinsburg would save money on the three part-time police officers who staff the city's jail during the day - at 12 hours per day, seven days a week.
"I can cut them back to six hours per day through the week, handling administrative duties and prisoner transports [to Solon]," Noga said.
No longer would a female dispatcher or officer need be on duty in Twinsburg, either, to perform body searches of females, as Solon is equipped with female jailers to assist females, and qualified officers to assist with special needs prisoners. Twinsburg currently dedicates two of its 10 cells to female prisoners, Noga explained.
Solon City Jail is about a 10-minute drive from Twinsburg. Noga said most prisoners could be transported to Solon directly from the their arrest location.
Twinsburg had considered another option -- the more common contract for Solon -- with its northerly neighbor in February of this year that would have housed some prisoners, specifically any female overflow prisoners from Twinsburg, in the Solon jail, at $75 per day. If a prisoner's stay is less than eight hours, the cost would be $42.50 per prisoner per day.
The average daily prisoner count in Twinsburg in 2011 was 1.03 prisoners per day. A total of 144 prisoners were incarcerated in the Twinsburg jail in 2011. Statistics were not yet available for this year.
Twinsburg would continue to keep its jail open in case of emergency, Noga said, even if the Solon proposal is approved by City Council, though the jail's 2013 budget line item would likely be considerably less than $152,000.
"This is the kind of regional approach ... that can lower our cost by working with our neighbors," Noga said Nov. 26. "And this time I believe we've done that."
"We certainly support sharing services ... when it can be mutually beneficial to everyone involved," Viland said.

What shoes do you wear when not wearingyour shredding boots
Hey guys I was wondering what shoes everyones chills out in/ waking though the mountain town, after a long day of riding, cuz we all know what it feels like to wear big snowboard boots all day. I usually wear a pair of old Nike high tops.
Yes this is a lame question but I've always wondered :laugh:
So whats the answer guys?
... haha, just kidding!
It's like a binding stiletto hybrid! Is it designed to be that?!
To answer the OP's question, I usually wear comfortable waterproof boots of some sort for the inevitable snow/mud/puddles.
Nike's or some vans
I'm like a girl when it comes to shoes. I probably have at least 15 pairs of nikes/Jordans. Partly because my feet haven't grown for about 5 years, and partly because I'm addicted :dunno:
I have some Nike Frees, most of the time (currently) its my DVSs, but when i decide to go out for a little run or if im not going to be out for TOO long, five fingers:D
Birkenstocks, vans, vasque trail running. foot joy.
Most of the time low-cut trail running/hiking shoes. Occasionally skate shoes (they look nicer). I tend to hate anything that comes up above the ankle with a passion.

Friday, Dec. 10, 7 p.m. -- Maize and Blue Intrasquad (Cliff Keen Arena)
Live Results | Video Preview
The 2010 defending national champion University of Michigan men's gymnastics team starts the 2011 season with the annual Maize and Blue Intrasquad on Friday (Dec. 10) at 7 p.m. in Cliff Keen Arena. Catch all the excitement in the only competition of the season where fellow Wolverines are pitted against each other in a Maize versus Blue showdown.
Admission is free. Posters will be available and the team will hold an autograph session following the competition. If you cannot make it to the meet, follow along with live scoring on MGoBlue.com.
The Blue team is led by four-time All-American and senior co-captain Thomas Kelley (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville), who will be competing in all six events. Kelley highlighted the 2010 season by gathering All-America honors on parallel bars at NCAAs and finishing runner-up on high bar at the Big Ten Championships. Veteran senior Ben Baldus-Strauss (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South) will also contribute heavily to the Blue team's lineup with strong routines on floor, pommel horse, vault and high bar.
Junior co-captain Syque Caesar (Port Saint Lucie, Fla./Lincoln Park Academy) leads the Maize team. Caesar, who suffered a season-ending injury in 2010, is eagerly awaiting his return to the competition floor Friday competing on parallel bars and high bar. Caesar will be a strong candidate for All-American honors on parallel bars this season. The Maize team will illicit the help of seasoned competitor and 2010 NCAA all-around champion Chris Cameron (Winter Haven, Fla./Lake Region) and look for aid from newcomer Sam Mikulak (Corona del Mar, Calif./Carona del Mar), the 2010 all-around champion in the junior division at the US National Championships.
Are you social?
Follow the Michigan men's gymnastics team on Facebook and Twitter. Also, visit the UMGym YouTube Page for weekly releases to see amazing gymnastics footage and to meet the team members. All competition footage will also be uploaded as well.

The men's gymnastics team topped off the 2010 season by capturing the NCAA title. After falling to a disappointing second-place finish in the last rotation at the Big Ten Championships, the Wolverines regrouped for nationals and won the program's fourth team title. The competition was highlighted by the Wolverines taking home 13 All-America honors. In addition, Chris Cameron won the all-around title, the second gymnast in Michigan history to do so.
New Team Captains
At the completion of last season Thomas Kelley and Syque Caesar were voted by the team as co-captains for the 2011 season. Meet the co-captains and hear them talk about the upcoming Intrasquad [ Video ].
Eleven Freshmen in 2011
The Wolverines welcome an eleven-member freshman class for the 2011 season: Mike Begin (Dearborn, Mich./Devine Child), Alex Bubnov (Fanwood, N.J./Scotch Plains-Fanwood), Kevin Fraser (Austin, Tex./Cedar Park), Matt Freeman (Canton, Mich./Plymouth), Jordan Gaarenstroom (Laguna Hills, Calif./Halstrom), Dylan James (Valencia, Calif./William S.

PARIS – The first four of 12 satellites in a new constellation to provide affordable, high-speed Internet to people in nearly 180 "underconnected" countries, was scheduled to be shot into space Tuesday, the project's developers said.
The orbiters, part of a project dubbed O3b for the "other 3 billion" people with restricted Internet access, was scheduled to be lifted by a Russian Soyuz rocket from Kourou in French Guiana.
The project was born from the frustrations of Internet pioneer Greg Wyler with the inadequacy of Rwanda's telecommunications network, while traveling there in 2007. Wyler's plan was to bypass costly ground-based infrastructure such as fiber-optics or cables by deploying a constellation of small satellites around the equator to serve as a spatial relay. Such a system would cover a region between the latitudes of 45 degrees north and 45 degrees south — the entire African continent, most of Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

Newly published research shows that the use of antibacterial soaps can reduce the spread of harmful bacteria - that often leads to foodborne illness - more effectively than using non-antibacterial soaps. The research, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Food Protection, used new laboratory data, together with simulation techniques, to compare the ability of non-antibacterial and antibacterial products to reduce the risk of the infectious disease shigellosis, which is often spread during food preparation.

AEG is renowned, if not feared, in the entertainment business for betting big and cashing huge. It runs and is majority owner of the Staples Center, one of the busiest entertainment complexes in the world. To properly showcase singer Celine Dion, AEG signed her to a three-year contract in 2003, created and produced a stage show, "A New Day ...", and invested in a theater, The Colosseum at Caesars' Palace, to showcase her in Las Vegas. The Colosseum, a 4,100-seat theater, itself cost nearly $100 million.
For the Los Angeles Galaxy, Leiweke and his boss, Phil Anschutz, have done their best with stars, luring Landon Donovan back from Europe, and inking the soccer megadeal of all time, a.k.a. David Beckham. Home Depot Center cost $150 million and is a spectacular facility, though staging money-grubbing events like the X-Games and renting it out to Chivas USA does tend to tear up the field.
But once you get beyond signing up all the stardom one MLS team, and presumably one salary cap, can absorb, what more can you do?
Signing a former superstar foreign player as a coach, despite his spotty record with three European teams, fits the Leiwekesque method. Sigi Schmid got the boot while in first place, Steve Sampson lost the job less than a year after winning the league title, Frank Yallop lasted barely a season and a half. Did they lose too much or were they just too dull?
Not to worry. Put stars on the field and one more on the bench, a lover of sexy football by the way, and it's showtime, baby! The signing of Beckham propelled him, his team, and MLS to stratospheric heights, and earned Leiweke, deservedly, a Sports Executive of the Year Award from the Sports Business Journal.
But pro sport is about the sport as much as the business of sport, and picking Ruud Gullit, as well has promoting Alexi Lalas up the corporate ladder as the lower rungs of San Jose and the MetroStars broke off beneath him, made about as much sense then as it does now. Gullit passed up the MLS draft to attend to "family matters," responded with a quizzical look when asked about drafted players, seldom hung around the Galaxy offices to work the phones or watch tape, complained about MLS player-acquisition processes and the reserve league, and two weeks ago, put his magnificent house in the Hollywood hills up for sale.
Not yet clear is whether he approved that listing before or after Leiweke stormed into the team's locker room and told all concerned to shape up or ship out. According to the team's press release announcing the changes, Gullit resigned for "personal reasons" and Lalas was fired. Meddling by Lalas during the tenure of Yallop sparked friction between the coaches and management, which may have prompted AEG to promote former MLS midfielder Paul Bravo to director of coaching a year ago.
During the SuperDraft, attended by Bravo but not Gullit, Bravo was asked what his duties were. Only half-joking, he replied, "Trying to re-invent the wheel." He declined to elaborate. That wheel is looking pretty rickety right now.
Presumably, AEG won't have to pay off more than a smidgen of Gullit's three-year contract, reportedly worth $6 million, since he walked out, and won't lose much by jettisoning Lalas, either, since his contract expires this year. Such a financial wakeup might bode well for the long-term future, as any team heavily overloading its salary budget on three attacking players - combined, Donovan, Beckham and Carlos Ruiz account for about $1 million of the $2.18 million salary cap - is headed for bad times.
Nothing rosy can be forecast for the short-term, unless ex-U.S. international Cobi Jones has ramped up to speed in the past eight months as assistant coach, Argentine defender Eduardo Dominguez reverses his awful debut performance, and U.S. defender Cory Gibbs joins the back line and turns into Superman.
There are viable coaching options out there: Revs assistant coach Paul Mariner and Dynamo assistant John Spencer are obvious candidates, and so too is Bruce Arena, despite his disdain for Southern California and what he once termed an "amusement park," i.e., the HDC. Schmid would come back to LA in a heartbeat, or at least at the end of the season, but that winning record in Columbus could be a problem.
However, seeing the train wreck the Galaxy has become, regardless of the facilities and the money to be offered, any prospect would be wary. Three shakeups in three seasons is hardly a bedrock of stability on which to build success.

I've turned into the crazy cat lady.
Sort of.
I actually don't own a cat. Aaaand I'm also allergic. HOWEVER, the boyfriend has this amazingly adorable fluffy black cat named Tommy and I CAN NOT STOP taking pictures of him. Everything he does is too cute (or crazy) and I just have to take a picture. The pictures are slowing taking over my Instagram feed. Ahhh. So I now understand the need to constantly post cat photo's. Like yesterday, this happened…
He got up there in one leap straight from the ground. Impressive!
Anyway, all you cat people…I get it, but I don't get it. The cat picture taking obsession has taken me over. I don't know why. I don't understand it. But it has. So keep posting those cute cat pictures because I know I'm going to, and I'm gonna like it!
(Seriously, why do we do this?)

Hey guys i know there are a ton of these threads but none of them really have what I'm looking for or I find conflicting answers!
So basically what I want is a muffler that will have a great sound, turn heads, set off an alarm or two, but not be so loud it annoys the hell out of you driving down the highway. I LOVE the super deep throaty sound opposed to the screaming sounds on a lot of mufflers.
So long story short I'm looking for a muffler that has a nice deep, throaty (somewhat loud) sound on the outside, but doesn't have TOO much interior.
I hate the racy sound, its gotta be deep and throaty. I don't know if i can get the sound I want without cat-back but thats what I'm hoping for (I got a budget here :p)
p.s. This is my truck, the sounds gotta match the look!

So I finaly got to run a SRT-4 after being stage 2 for about 2 months now. It actualy started by this kid trying to cut me off on this road that went down to 1 lane but he got none of that. So I can see him shaking his head behind me and that just kind of pissed me off, then he motioned me to turn onto this really open road(we were out in the open country part of omaha) and we talked, and he was actually a pretty cool kid, and set up a few runs. We did a first, second, and third gear rolls, never from a stop. First gear roll was even through first b/c I could get no traction(I was in the middle lane that was FULL of gravel, and I knew if he was in the middle he would of had no chance) but when I shifted into 2nd I pulled about a half car on him and kept it up to 85ish(sorry, didnt feel like going any faster on gravel).
2nd gear roll I couldnt get the tires gripped and he jumped to a 1/2 car lead and kept it to 85-90. 3rd gear roll was not really a race b/c he wouldnt speed up before we started so when he honked I was at 2600 rpm in third so that wasnt pretty. Thats pretty much it.

Lamb Chops with Artichoke Hearts
A special blend of artichoke, onion, tomatoes, olives, and white wine make the perfect seasoning and sauce for your lamb chops.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: Lisa Hubbard
Source: Martha Stewart Living, April 2004
- 4 shoulder lamb chops (1/2 inch thick each)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 or 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, halved crosswise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 4 artichoke hearts (water-packed, from one 14-ounce can), rinsed, drained, and each cut into 6 wedges
- 1/4 cup fruity white wine, such as a New Zealand Marlborough Valley Sauvignon Blanc
- 1 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
- 1 tablespoon lemon-zest strips
Rinse chops; pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook lamb in two batches, turning once, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter; loosely cover with foil.
Add onion and artichoke hearts to same skillet (add 1 tablespoon oil if skillet is dry). Cook over medium heat until softened and golden (do not brown), 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine; cook until almost all liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add stock and tomatoes; cover, and cook 3 minutes. Uncover; cook until sauce is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in olives and zest. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon vegetables and sauce over lamb, and serve.

He is not driving in Argentina where WRC is now because of cost (he is not driving for Citroen's factory team). If he were he wouldn't be in Charlotte. He has no exact plans for year 2012. It could be staying in WRC or returning to F1 or maybe NASCAR. So he is interested in NASCAR and wants to try how it feels. Originally he made a deal for 3 maybe 5 Truck races. Now he probably has used the budget for first 3 races in 1 Truck and 1 Nationwide race and smashing Gordon's Cup car. He had a change to try different NASCAR cars and he took it. What's wrong about that. According Autosport he already could have made a NASCAR deal for 2012 but he didn't. At last March he said NASCAR is a very tough and a top racing series. So he wants to first see if he is any good at it before making decisions. I hope he gets a car and sponsors to try in Sonoma. 0 agree 0 disagree

Помогите, пожалуйста! Сочинение на тему "Проблемы молодёжи". 240 слов(+- 10)
- All people have problems. Some people have a lot ofproblems, others have one or two. And no matter how old you are, you will still face difficulties in your life. We can solve some problems but some problems are very hard to solveThere are a lot of teenagers in our country. A teenager is a person from thirteen to nineteen years of age. And young people here face as many difficulties as grown-up people do.There are problems, which are common for all young people. These are spending your free time, choosing a good friend, how to deal with your parents and the classmates, finding your place in this world, first love and relations with beloved, choosing where to study after finishing school, alcohol and drugs.'m fourteen so I belong to the group of Russian teenagers. One of the most important problems is "a generation gap" - the problem of fathers and sons. Teens usually want to be independent and show this to our parents. And this is kind of depressing when our parents try to control everything we do. Our parents usually don't understand the clothes that we wear and the music that we listen to. We have different tastes. For example, when I go to the shop with my mom she likes these jeans but I like those ones. She pays and this is often difficult to convince her that this is really what I need. My parents want me to become a doctor as they are skilled teachers but I have a taste for economics, and my dream is to be an accountant. But they say they know better. They often treat us like small children. And this is rather difficult to start listening to each other and understanding each other. Some teens even begin drinking alcohol or smoking just to show that they are grown-ups. That is really stupid, I must say. I don't like smoking. You must have to be a grown-up inside and a cigarette or a bottle of beer won't help here. This won't help you look cool. These bad habits cause health problems in future (for girls especially).t is a problem to get a good education as well. It is expensive to get a good education nowadays. I think it is difficult to learn a subject well, for example, without additional classes. And you can't enter a university without good knowledge.As for the problem of friendship, I always remember a good proverb, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." I like this one because it shows what a true friend must be. I like honest people. And, of course, I want to have a friend who will always listen to me and understand me. I want him or her to support me in difficult situations. If a teen has bad relations with others he tries to find a group to follow for example – goths, emos and others. They try piercing and tattoos.One of the most serious problems nowadays is taking drugs and AIDS (the disease when the immune system of your body stops working).The problem of free time is also very important. Where to go, what to do in free time. Every teen must find a hobby or just go in for sports. Not just wander in the street without an aim. We must not forget that it's good to go to museums, theatres, cinemas and parks even if it is not popular.The problem of free time is also very important. Where to go, what to do in free time. Every teen must find a hobby or just go in for sports. Not just wander in the street without an aim. We must not forget that it's good to go to museums, theatres, cinemas and parks even if it is not popular.We have some problems but we are sure that we solve them properly. We make mistakes but only those who do nothing make no mistakes. I think that the young people in other countries have such problems too. The best way to solve them is to be yourself and be responsible for your life.

Maury Povich (!) donates $1m to Kelly Writers House
Maury Povich donated $1 million dollars to UPenn's Kelly Writers House, an important hub of poetry and writing in Philadelphia, which hosts and organizes multiple readings a week. Povich's gift won't go to the poetry side of things, but will establish the Povich Fund for Journalism Programs:
In 2006, Povich and his wife, Connie Chung — a fellow reporter, anchor and talk show host — endowed a faculty position in Creative Writing, bringing in Dick Polman from The Philadelphia Inquirer as the first-ever Writer-in-Residence to promote and respond to student interest in journalism.
"On the basis of Povich's generosity, we were able to bring in Dick Polman, who in turn brought in colleagues of his own from the world of journalism … and in a circular way, that fueled even more interest in students in journalism," Filreis said.

Hello- my first report but have been lurking for months now. I have the business cd radio on my 2002 bmw 325 ci- I know that an aux input is needed for better sound then if it is installed with the modulator. The guy at Best Buy told me that the dealer would have a "aux cable to RCA" that I can buy and he can install for a nominal price. Is that the case? If so do you know how much it costs or if I can get it anywhere else? Thanks!

What steps do I need to take to revoke a temporary guardianship?
Question Details:
My dad convinced me to sign temporary guardianship of my 2 kids so he could add them to his insurance. It was only notorized, not court ordered, and I don't even know if the papers were filed with the court. How do I get them back? What are the steps I need to take to get them back. And is there anyway I can speed up the process?
First you need to take the paperwork you signed to an attorney to read. I am not quite sure of what you signed. If you can "rescind" or "revoke" the temporary guardianship with a certified letter that may be all you need. But the best thing to do is to go to court and have the court issue an order revoking or rescinding it. The court can, at that time, declare you to be the legal guardian of the children. But what I am concerned with here is that you did not mention their other parent in all this. They will have to be notified of any court proceeding. And if they had to sign the temporary guardianship then it may not be legal in the first place. Good luck.

Over the last four years, Rob Ambrose has led Towson football to 33 wins, a pair of CAA championships and two NCAA FCS playoff appearances. Heading into his seventh season at the helm of the Tiger football program in 2015, Ambrose has his sights set on a return to the NCAA FCS National Championship game.
Coming off an NCAA FCS Championship game appearance the year before, the Tigers battled a plethora of injuries during the 2014 season. However, for the second straight year, a Tiger was selected in the NFL Draft. Just one year after running back Terrance West was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the third round, cornerback Tye Smith went in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft to the Seattle Seahawks.
You don't have to look very far back to find Ambrose's impact in the wins and losses column. In 2013, he guided the Tigers to a magical season as Towson reached the NCAA FCS championship game by beating No. 9 Fordham, No. 2 Eastern Illinois and No. 3 Eastern Washington in consecutive weeks. Towson finished the campaign with a 13-3 record; the 13 wins were a school record.
Ranked second in the final NCAA FCS polls, Towson won the Lambert/Meadowlands Award as the top FCS team in the East. The Tigers were also honored as the ECAC FCS Team of the Year.
During the 2012 season, Ambrose led the Tigers to a 7-4 record against an extremely difficult schedule. The Tigers lost to a pair of nationally-ranked FBS programs in Kent State and LSU. But, Towson finished the season with a 6-2 CAA record as the Tigers shared the league title.
In 2011, just his third season as the Tigers' head coach, Ambrose guided Towson to one of the most dramatic turnarounds in college football history. Only one season removed from a 1-10 record, the 2011 team became the "Turnaround Tigers" by going 9-3. Their 7.5-game improvement was the most dramatic improvement in NCAA Division I history.
Towson posted a 9-2 regular season record, beat six nationally-ranked teams and won the CAA championship outright with a 7-1 record in 2011. The Tigers also made their first appearance in the NCAA FCS playoffs, becoming the first program to earn playoff berths at the Division III, Division II and FCS (I-AA) levels.
Once the season ended, Ambrose was honored as the 2011 CAA Coach of the Year, the AFCA District Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. In January 2012, he was the recipient of the Eddie Robinson Award as the top coach in FCS football.
Ambrose took over the Towson football program in 2009 after seven years on the University of Connecticut football staff. While at UConn, the Huskies grew from an NCAA Division I-AA program into a major FBS contender. UConn posted a 49-36 record with just two losing seasons while Ambrose was there. The Huskies made three bowl appearances in five years, debuted in the AP national rankings, and won a share of the Big East title in 2007.
Joining the staff as the quarterbacks coach, Ambrose played a major role in the development of Dan Orlovsky, the first UConn quarterback to play in the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick by the Detroit Lions. In 2008 as the offensive coordinator, Ambrose coached Donald Brown, an All-American and the 2008 Big East Offensive Player of the Year. Brown led the nation with 2,083 yards on 367 carries and became the first UConn player to be selected in the first round of the NFL draft.
Prior to UConn, Ambrose spent one season as the head coach at Catholic University, a Division III program in Washington, D.C. In one year at Catholic, Ambrose led the Cardinals to a 3-7 record.
Ambrose started his coaching career as an assistant at Towson from 1992-2000. In nine years as a Tiger assistant, the team went 54-36 with only two losing seasons. Ambrose started as a student-assistant before being promoted to wide receivers coach in 1993, offensive coordinator in 1997 and then to associate head coach in 2000.
He coached four All-Americans in running back Tony Vinson, quarterback Dan Crowley, and wide receivers Mark Orlando and Jamal White. Vinson led the nation in rushing yards (2,016), all-purpose yards (2,073) and points scored (138) in 1993. Vinson went on to be a fifth-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers. Orlando earned All-America notice by catching 55 passes for 1,223 yards and 12 touchdowns.
In 1999, Towson led the nation in passing yardage, averaging 381.2 passing yards per game.
As a player at Towson, Ambrose started his career as a quarterback but moved to wide receiver as a sophomore. In 1990, he caught four passes for 20 yards. As a junior, he had four catches for 35 yards. Three of those receptions were touchdown passes from Dan Crowley. He caught an 11-yard TD pass at James Madison, a seven-yard TD toss at Liberty and a 14-yard TD pass against Hofstra. An injury in the spring before his senior year forced Ambrose to the sidelines.
The Tigers' coach is the son of one of the most successful high school football coaches in Maryland.
