Soul Calibur IV's bountiful breasts bounce along as Namco Bandai recently released more images of characters in the game. The first outing for the Soul Calibur crew on current-gen consoles is becoming better known for its breasts than anything else following a first-look at Ivy and her string-top battle bra in early June. Now we have Sophitia (above) in her almost see-through Jennifer Lopez-inspired double-sided-tape-required battle gear. Her sister Cassandra can be found in the gallery below with her breasts packed in nicely with a hole to breath through and show cleavage. Seriously, these women are fighting with blades in these outfits. How is this sane?
Also, after the break, we have a borderline NSFW image of Voldo. Now, granted, Voldo has always been overtly sub-pornographic with a BDSM vibe; however, the place where he has a spike coming out of now may be a bit over-the-top. If you don't instantly imagine it, just try to conceptualize how Voldo would sit down in that outfit.

The August date in Indiana has been scrapped, reportedly because there's not enough ticket sales to support a concert.
Rihanna has been forced to scrap another date on her U.S. tour due to poor ticket sales. The "Umbrella" hitmaker axed the launch show of her Last Girl On Earth Tour with Ke$ha last week. Her tour promoters blamed changes in production for the cancellation.
But the jaunt has been hit hard again - her show at Indiana's Verizon Wireless Music Center on August 3 has been called off, according to ticketing websites. It is believed poor sales figures have forced the move.
The cancellation follows news that America's concert revenues are down in 2010 following a stellar 2009, with the Jonas Brothers and the stars of "American Idol" also scaling down their upcoming tours.

Back in 2008, when Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was just the lowly president of the New York Federal Reserve, he was involved in some interactions with embattled insurance giant AIG that apparently resulted in AIG withholding important information from the public. Now Geithner's under pressure from at least one concerned member of Congress to testify about this matter. —KA
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner should testify before Congress about efforts by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to limit American International Group Inc.'s disclosures of payments to banks, a House Democrat said.
Representative Elijah Cummings of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee called for an investigation and hearing into what information was withheld from the public at the New York Fed's request in 2008, when Geithner led the regulator. E-mails obtained by Congress include New York Fed requests that the bailed-out insurer withhold documents from public filings and delay disclosures about payments to banks to retire credit-default swaps, Bloomberg News reported yesterday.

CHICAGO -- Former Brown Bear Jeff Larentowicz was among the 24 players named by U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley to the training camp roster that will begin gathering Jan. 4 at U.S. Soccer's National Training Center at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., it was announced on Dec. 21.
The group will prepare for the USA's first match of 2011, a friendly against fellow FIFA World Cup finalists Chile on Jan. 22 at The HDC. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. PT, with broadcast information to be announced at a later date.
Bradley, a 1980 graduate of Princeton University and head coach of the Tigers for 12 seasons (1984-95), selected a largely domestic-based group that includes 20 players who ply their trade in the United States, and the coaching staff is taking full advantage of the opportunity to assess new talent. With an average age of just above 23 years old, half of the players can earn their first cap for the full team.
Larentowicz recently became a 2010 MLS Champion with the Colorado, patrolling the midfield for the Rapids throughout the 2010 season. He is amongst the group of players looking to earn a first career USMNT cap.
While at Brown, Larentowicz helped guide the Bears to two Ivy League Championships and scored seven goals and added six assists. Larentowicz was a two-time second-team NSCAA All-America selection (2003 and 2004) and he was also a four-time All-Ivy performer.
GOALKEEPERS (4): Dominic Cervi (Celtic), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Matt Pickens (Colorado Rapids), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake).
DEFENDERS (9): A.J. DeLaGarza (Los Angeles Galaxy), Sean Franklin (Los Angeles Galaxy), Omar Gonzalez (Los Angeles Galaxy), Ugo Ihemelu (FC Dallas), Zach Loyd (FC Dallas), Ryan Miller (Halmstads BK), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls), Anthony Wallace (Colorado Rapids), Marvell Wynne (Colorado Rapids).

Honor Mayhew (born early 1908 PD ) was a Grayson citizen and the fourth child of Protector Benjamin IX.
Born to Elaine Mayhew, the Protector's second wife, Honor was named after Steadholder Honor Harrington, a close friend and ally of her parents, who was also her godmother. (HH8)
She suffered a broken arm in a fall from the tallest tree at the Protector's Palace when she was seven, an event that appalled the more conservative elements of Grayson society. (HH9)

Yes, it is bee-glue (propolis); it is very common on old hives.
They are then killed and covered with a coating of propolis.
They use the propolis for another purpose still, which deserves to be mentioned.
They encase it in propolis, which preserves it from putrefaction.
propolis: a glue or resin-like product elaborated by bees to serve as a cement in cases where wax is not sufficiently tenacious.
And Fessa took the last of the propolis from her very roughly.
According to Huber, who made this observation, the propolis is applied also to the insides of the cells.
We actually saw two or three arrive, and carry the propolis from off the limbs of each with their teeth.
The bees find it difficult to gather the propolis, and equally so to remove from their thighs, and to work so sticky a material.
Annoyed by this inquisitiveness, the bees resolved to put an end to it, and cemented the shutter with propolis.

The need to get away (and how to make it happen)
Hi, I'm Bron.
Meet my husband.
Meet our children.
Meet our house.
All pretty nice, huh? Yep, I love them all to bits and pieces; they make my life sing with purpose and conviction. They are the wind beneath my madly flapping wings.
And yet.
Sometimes, I really just can't cope with the lot of them. Sometimes they make me feel trapped and uneasy. The routine of raising children and keeping house plods over me like a heavy, burdened beast. It makes me feel restless, longing, unfulfilled. Like I want to race to the nearest clifftop and scream and scream and scream. Like if I have to pack one more lunch box or pick up one more crumb or find one more shoe or fold one more pair of socks or make one more dinner or answer one more unanswerable, really you are boring me to tears, question, I really will scream. And probably not from a cliff top.
Do you feel that way about your darling life sometimes too?
Am I allowed to even ask that? Pretend I didn't ask that.
What do you do when you feel that way (assuming that you feel that way because I'm not asking if you feel that way)? Do you suck it up once again and just get on with the job? Resentment festering somewhere deep within the hidden coves of your brain? Do you yell at the kids and refuse to bang the husband? Do you let the house gather dust and drink gin? What do you do?
I drive. That's what I do.
I pack up the car and I head off to a hill somewhere, doesn't matter which hill, any hill will do. The rhythm of driving and the need to concentrate on the road ahead stills my mind. Wide open spaces and the ability to look beyond the next meal and decide only for me what will happen next. The calming bubble of the car hurtling through space, moving where I want to go and nowhere else. It's both a control thing and a freeing thing, beautifully balanced and gently nurturing.
Last time I drove a borrowed Nissan X-Trail all the way from Sydney to Byron Bay, just me and my music and that lovely GPS lady turning down my music to tell me "in 3 kilometres, bear left" and then politely turning the music back up again.
I fell instantly hard in love with Bluetooth, such that I phoned everyone I know from the car to tell them I was phoning them from the car and… wait for it… wait for it… there she is, my GPS lady, did you hear her, did ya?
It's true that I called my husband and kids about a minute after pulling out of the driveway. And it's also true that I sat in the driveway for 10 minutes willing myself to just turn the key and drive away. Months of looking forward to being off on my own came down to forcing myself to leave. Going away is funny like that. Absence really does make the kids grow nicer.
I stopped in Brooklyn and Bellingen, Bangalow and Byron Bay. All the nice B places that make me feel less like screaming and more like purring. A little potter around the shops, a pot of tea in a cute cafe, time to wander and to dream. Four whole nights and five whole days to myself, with no one to distract me from the important task of learning that there is nothing I need to scream about.
It's like a reboot for mums, having time on your own. Not time with the girls or a night out, proper time to yourself. Hello me, you think, it's good to see you again.
How to find a little solitude for yourself
1. Take turns with your partner
Negotiate a 'swap' night or two (or four) away with your partner. Maybe you go away in March and he goes away in September (your preference – it was your idea after all). Make sure you resist the temptation to invite a friend or have a girls' weekend away… this is time to get to know yourself again and solitude is important.
2. Make it cheap and cheerful
If affordability is an issue, make it a road trip and check places like Groupon and lastminutedotcom for bargain accommodation. It doesn't have to cost much at all.
3. Brief the kids well in advance.
I drop 'mum's trip away' into the conversation months ahead and then refer to it regularly. Before you know it, it's just a given that mum is going away. Promising gifts on my return (depending on behaviour!) is the only deal-sweetener I need.
4. Plan your trip, but not too much.
Decide where you want to go and have a vague idea of how to get there (in-built GPS was a godsend for getting myself all the way up to Byron on my own – I am terrible with maps!). Leave the rest up to feeling and 'brown signs' on the day. Yes, brown 'historically interesting landmark ahead' signs. I've had a lot of fun following those over the years.
5. Know why you're going
For me it's not just about escaping from the humdrum of daily routine. I go because I want to remind myself how important it is to me to live creatively and intelligently. You may have other reasons for needing time to yourself, but the main thing for all of us to remember is that guilt has no place in our suitcase. Guilt serves nothing and just gets in the way of a good time. Make the most of your time away – you can fret and feel guilty when you get back if you must.
6. Contact the cavalry
There's a big gap in a family's routine when mum is away (strangely there is much less of a gap when dad is away – more of a small crack). To feel good about taking your trip, you will need to know that everything is okay at home. Ask friends for help and back up for your partner when you're away. When I went to Byron, I had a different friend taking the kids after school each day and, wouldn't you know it, when my husbie went to pick those kids up they were fed and bathed for him every single night. Good friends.
7. Just go
It's hard to leave in the end. You may think you don't need to, but you do. I've done a 'mum trip' every year for three years now and it has been the balm that soothes the savage beast of parenting and life every time. I return rejuvenated and reinspired to be the best person I can be. It inspires my creativity and at the same time grounds me to be a better mum.
There is nothing like the thought of change to make you realise how good you have it right where you are, right now.
Do you take regular time away for yourself? Do you like solitude? Do you feel guilty when you're away from your family? And, can I ask, do you sometimes feel like this too?

Sydney's Cross City Tunnel might be on the brink of receivership but it does not believe it is suffering from lack of traffic.
The tunnel says its problem is the uncertainty over a long-running dispute with the NSW Office of State Revenue in relation to $60 million in stamp duty relating to the sale of the business in 2007.
The tunnel has been unable to refinance an $80 million loan because bankers have worried about the implications for the company's solvency from forced payment of the stamp duty bill. Although the owners of Cross City Tunnel won a court case against the stamp duty charge, there will now be an appeal by the government to a higher court.
But bankers familiar with the operations of toll roads reckon the Cross City Tunnel's problems go beyond the stamp-duty dispute.
They say the economics of toll roads have changed since 2007, when the current owners of the tunnel, CCT Motorways, bought the asset from the receiver, Martin Madden of KordaMentha.
Over the past six years bankers have become more conservative. They are unwilling to load as much debt on a toll road.
The latest available accounts for the Cross City Tunnel from June 2012 show a carrying value for the tunnel of $594 million and a negative net asset position of $19.6 million.
Directors said that deficit was acceptable for a long-term infrastructure investment.
The Cross City Tunnel has debt of about $600 million. Bankers say that is too high for a tunnel with revenue of $50 million and costs of $20 million.
The rule of thumb with toll roads these days is to calculate the enterprise value by multiplying the earnings before interest, tax and depreciation by about 15. The debt that can be carried is about 40 to 50 per cent of that value.
If that rule of thumb were applied to the Cross City Tunnel it would need to reduce its debt substantially.
In the meantime, travelling from Sydney's exclusive eastern suburbs to the trendy inner west is one of the most pleasant trips in Australia's most congested cities.
Bankers reckon a receiver would find strong demand for the asset.
Sovereign wealth funds and big pension funds like the reliable cash flows from toll roads. A Cross City Tunnel with less debt will be a valued asset.

Ask seven-year-old Visca Tubashiku what she likes about Australia and she might say, ''I like maths.'' It was fitting then, that when Adam Goodes met Visca and her brother, Jenovic, 8, they talked about numbers.
''What's your favourite number,'' asked the Sydney Swans player, starting a game to guess the number he wears on his guernsey.
''My favourite number is 10,'' said Visca, as her brother eventually stumbled towards the correct number on Goodes' back - 37.
The two young football fans, who met Goodes as a pre-Australia Day surprise with The Sun-Herald, will become Australian citizens on Sunday at a ceremony at Penrith's Civic Centre. Their businessman father, Pichen, their mother, Solay, and their two aunts and an uncle, will also affirm loyalty to their new country.
When Jenovic was asked what he likes about Australia his response was somewhat stronger than his sister's. ''It's nice because no bad people come that have guns and shoot,'' he says.
The Tubashiku family arrived in Adelaide from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in June 2007, via Zimbabwe, where Jenovic and Visca were born. The family moved to Sydney two years later.
''I'm so glad that they're going to have the same opportunity that you and I have growing up in Australia to be safe, to know where your next meal's coming from, to be able to get an education … in a country where they've got every opportunity to do whatever they want to do, be whatever they want to be, practise whatever religion they want to be,'' Goodes said.
He talked about stars with Jenovic, whose hair bears an intricately shaved star shape - courtesy of the African shop where his mother works. ''I've got stars, too,'' said Goodes, showing them his inked left leg. The three stars he bears symbolise elements of the Swans culture.
Goodes crouched down between the two children as photographer James Brickwood took his final shots. Jenovic and Visca folded their arms. Goodes beamed. ''Little stars,'' he said affectionately.

|Back to December Ed Reporter
Young Americans have more free time, disposable income, and educational opportunity than any generation in history. Yet survey after survey shows how little they know.
Many have "bibliophobia": in 2005, 19% of college seniors did not read a single book "for personal enjoyment or academic enrichment," and 54% read fewer than four. The hype says that young Americans possess new skills that replace the tried-and-true skills of close reading, clear writing, and historical and civic knowledge. Mark Bauerlein explodes that hype in this shocking book.
The time American 8- to 18-year-olds spend with TV (3 hours 18 minutes a day), computers (48 minutes), and video games (49 minutes) doesn't make them smarter or more competent. Rather, screen time "conditions minds against quiet, concerted study, against imagination unassisted by visuals, against linear, sequential analysis of texts, against an idle afternoon with a detective story and nothing else."
Paradoxically, the internet's endless offerings actually narrow users' minds, instead of opening them. "With so much abundance, variety, and speed, users key in to exactly what they already want," Bauerlein observes. RSS feeds bring 20-somethings the views they already agree with, and bring teenagers the same celebrity news and banal peer-group updates of which they already have too much.
MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, teen blogs, and other outlets for teen peer consciousness all help to isolate teens from adult mentors, great art, history, the classics, or the questions of work and family that have traditionally served to draw young people out of adolescence.
Bauerlein calls on parents, teachers, and other mentors to intervene and save the Millenial generation from itself. Stop bringing pop culture into the classroom in an effort to engage them; they spend enough time with it outside of school. 36% of high schoolers who say they doubt they will graduate blame the fact that they are "not learning anything." Only 11% say that "schoolwork is too hard."
"Young Americans need someone somewhere in their lives to reveal to them bigger and better human stories than the sagas of summer parties and dormitory diversions and Facebook sites," writes Bauerlein. They need their parents to set limits on screen time, and to engage them from an early age with other interests that will awaken their intellects and draw them out of themselves.

OK its time to say it: I am bored of the US presidential election now. It just seems to go on and on- not like our brief and 'civilised' campaigns at all!
I know depending on which side of the fence I am on I should be worried that one of the guys will destroy the planet by not cutting down on the pollution that the USA spews out on the world , or that the other guy will destroy the world by being soft on terrorism.
I know it should bother me that one of them will probably appoint pro-abortion judges whilst the other one might leave America's poor to sufer inadequate healthcare.
But, at the end of the day it is none of my business, and as a member of "the rest of the world" I will simply have to put up with whichever leader of the free world you American's choose for us.
So, why not hurry up and choose already? Does it have to take this long? From the begining of the hustings for party nominations there has been a gradual deterioration in some of my favorite American blogs. We are now at the point where I barely want to read any of them for fear of coming accross yet another political post!
Somebody, please find something other than politics to blog on, and put a link here in this comments section so I can go look at it without wading through "Bush is great" or "Vote Kerry" posts!

Labor is ready to team up with the Greens and independent Senator Nick Xenophon to launch a Senate inquiry into ailing national carrier Qantas.
This comes as the national carrier backtracks on earlier statements about the carbon tax, releasing a statement on Wednesday saying that the tax was ''among the significant challenges we face''. Earlier this week the company said its problems ''were not related to the carbon tax''.
In its statement, the company also reiterated its support for changes to the Sale Act and warned that the distortion in the aviation playing field would remain, even though both sides of politics accepted that the distortion existed.
''We have said that the price on carbon is a cost to our business that we have not been able to recover through fare increases,'' the statement said.
Opposition transport spokesman Anthony Albanese has prepared the terms of reference for the inquiry, which will be launched as soon as the next 24 hours after a series of meetings in Parliament House on Wednesday morning.
The Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee will examine what options the government has to provide additional assistance to Qantas and ensure it remains a viable national carrier.
Those options it will consider include the possibility of the airline receiving a debt guarantee – a move the Abbott government has ruled out – and the government taking an equity stake in the airline.
It will also examine what other steps could be taken by the government to protect Australian jobs at the airline.
Earlier this week, the Greens and Senator Xenophon flagged an inquiry, but Labor shunned the proposal as it looked to keep political pressure on the government ahead of a cabinet decision on assistance for the airline.
The move comes as Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce prepares to meet unions on Wednesday to discuss the airline's plan to cut 5000 jobs and make $2 billion in cost savings to help shore up the airline's future.
The move also comes as it emerged the federal government knocked back Qantas Airways' request for a debt guarantee or unsecured loan facility based on the advice of two investment banks, federal Treasury, the Department of Infrastructure and accounting firm PwC.
The Australian Financial Review reported the company asked for a guarantee on all new debt or a $3 billion unsecured loan facility.
The federal government considered Qantas' request for assistance until Monday's cabinet meeting.
A decision was then taken to attempt to repeal part of the Qantas Sale act, a move which would free the airline of foreign ownership restrictions but which appears set to founder in the Senate.

Virginia Auto Insurance Guide
Navigating Virginia roadways have enough pitfalls; choosing car insurance shouldn't be one of them. Below is a primer for Virginia drivers on relevant requirements and laws.
Just looking to compare car insurance quotes? Start here.
Virginia Auto Insurance Requirements
To be a licensed Virginia driver, an individual must show financial responsibility in the form of car insurance. The minimum required insurance coverage in Virginia is:
Bodily Injury Liability: Bodily Injury Liability: $25,000 for one person and $50,000 for total damages
Property Damage Liability: $20,000
Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury: $25,000 for one person and $50,000 for total damages.
Don't know what those numbers mean? Check out our liability coverage guide.
Medical expense benefits, collision coverage, and comprehensive coverage are not required in Virginia. The state minimums are a floor; individuals are free to purchase greater coverage than is required. Given how much a car accident can potentially cost, the best insurance for you may be greater than the state minimums. Visit our resources page for more details on your options.
Wondering what car insurance prices look like in Virginia? Take a look at our Virginia Car Insurance Comparison Chart.
Virginia Auto Insurance Discounts
Many Virginia businesses, groups, and organizations offer "affinity group discounts" to their members. If you work for Dominion Power, Capital One, local or state government, a state college or university, or are a member of a fraternity or sorority, you may have an affinity discount available. Check with your employer or group organizers to see if they have a business relationship with any insurance companies.
Virginia Auto Insurance Penalties
Failure to meet the minimum requirements for Virginia may result in an array of penalties, including:
- $500 fee, plus costs of license and registration reinstatement.
- Suspension of your driver's license, registration and license plates.
- Three-year requirement to file an SR-22 yearly to maintain your license, once it has been reinstated.
To learn more about the requirements and penalties, visit the Virginia DMV website.
Driving Without Insurance
In Virginia, it is illegal to drive without car insurance unless you have paid the $500 Uninsured Motorist Fee. This fee is a penalty for failure to pay insurance; it does not replace any liability coverage and does not protect you from being sued if you are at fault in an accident (and in Virginia, you're almost always at fault). You can learn more about the Uninsured Motorist Fee on the DMV Website.
Car Registration and Licensing Guide
Read our Virginia Car Registration and Licensing guide to learn what steps you need to take when getting a Virginia driver's license, registering your car, and more.

Over the first three days of the 2013 Aspen Ideas Festival, Yo-Yo Ma performed "America the Beautiful" with a double-amputee war veteran, he championed arts education to generals, CEOs and various masters of the universe, and he scored a brief impromptu ballet performance by hundreds of audience members in the Benedict Music Tent.
He even got Aspen Institute President and CEO Walter Isaacson to dance and movie executive Michael Eisner to sing.
Such are Ma's duties as the Aspen Institute's artist-in-residence.
Ma, 57, is the world's best-known cellist, a winner of 16 Grammys and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A charismatic presence on- and off-stage, he has long been chamber music's ambassador to mainstream pop culture. In Aspen, Ma has preached changing arts programs in schools from "extra to essential" and demonstrated how music can transform lives and improve communities.
Ma's vision of integrating the arts into society has tentacles that reach far into unexpected areas. Along with advocating more robust arts education, he championed the performing arts in health care, national service and veteran rehabilitation. He offered art as a solution to the American brain gap and rallied orchestra conductors from around the nation to become community leaders.
Technical proficiency and the ability to make beautiful music is a small part of what he does with his cello, according to Ma.
"Music is about much more than that," he said Wednesday. "It's about much bigger ideas."
The artist-in-residence program was born nearly a decade ago, with the late Sidney Harman arguing at an Institute board meeting that the organization had stripped the arts out of its work.
"Aspen no longer seemed to care about the arts," his wife, former U.S. Rep. Jane Harman recalled this week. "He made the point that when Aspen was founded the arts was a central driving force. And where had it gone? And he wasn't only talking about a separate arts program, but arts infusing all of the programs at Aspen."
Harman soon got Eisner, his fellow Institute trustee and former Walt Disney Co. CEO, on board to fund a residency program.
Founded in 2006, it has hosted luminaries like director Julie Taymor and author Tobias Wolff, in an effort to bring an artist's perspective to the Institute's policy work and public programs, and vice versa. The post lasts one year, and brings the artist to Ideas Fest, as well as Institute events in New York, Washington, D.C. and elsewhere.
Ma, whose work with the Silk Road Project has focused on cultural exchange and arts integration since 1998, has proved to be an ideal and proactive artist-in-residence.
"How we ever top this, I don't know," said Eisner.
Damian Woetzel, the Institute's arts programs director and former principal dancer at the New York City Ballet, served as artist-in-residence in 2008. He and other Institute resident artists have continued their work as "citizen artists" after their residencies ended — a point he stressed when he offered the post to Ma.
"I asked Yo-Yo to be the 2013 artist-in-residence and I quickly rescinded that and said, 'It goes on forever,'" Woetzel recalled.
Yo-Yo Ma first played with Lance Cpl. Timothy Donley last year, when the Marine was a patient at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Donley lost both of his legs above the knee in an improvised explosive device attack in Afghanistan.
Donley, 21, joined Ma on stage at Paepcke Auditorium Friday morning, performing a song Donley wrote while working with Musicorps, a music program for wounded veterans.
Musicorps offers intensive musical training to injured vets and has spawned prosthetics that have allowed the legless to play drums, and amputees to play guitar. Donley has excelled at singing and songwriting. He said his training with Musicorps has tangibly aided his recovery.
"It gives you the ability to look at the future with a little bit of hope," he said. "[Music] gives you energy and drive to keep going through your life. It makes you a better person in general."
Ma is among Musicorps' stable of musicians and teachers. He compared the first time he played at Walter Reed to the first time he played Carnegie Hall — saying both induced anxiety but elevated his work as a musician.
Ma and Donley were joined in a panel discussion by Musicorps founder Arthur Bloom and Camille Zamora of Sing For Hope, a nonprofit focused on bringing professional musicians to perform at hospitals. It's also the group installing public pianos around New York City.
"It's a new field that's emerging," Bloom said, "where the musicians, the artists, can do this kind of public service. It's very edifying and its very interesting. It's very gratifying."
For artists, such service isn't entirely altruistic. Ma and Zamora agreed that getting out of rarefied concert halls and performing in hospitals and schools, while helping others, also informs and improves their skill and passion on stage.
"I feel some of my best collaborators have been my collaborators at hospital bedsides and in schools," said Zamora.
Ma sees organizations like Musicorps and Sing For Hope as part of a growth industry that can use the arts to produce tangible societal benefits.
"All of this is going in a certain direction," he said.
They closed their panel with a rendition of "America the Beautiful," with Ma on cello, Bloom on piano and Donley singing. By song's end, the audience passionately joined in.
"I'm a 21-year-old kid on stage with Yo-Yo Ma, right?" Donley laughed. "How much better does it get?"
Over the course of several public panels at Ideas Fest, Ma touched on the movement in American education policy toward the "STEM" fields of science, technology, education and mathematics. He's added the letter "A" for art, and advocated for "STEAM" education.
The types of critical thinking that the arts instill may not be testable, the way math is, but they are critical, he argued.
"So many people are saying, 'What we need in our 21st century workforce are people who have incredible collaborative skills, who have incredible flexible ways of thinking, great imagination and who can be innovative,'" he said. "'If we had a whole population of citizens who could do those things, we're not going to have an economic crisis.' So what I'm thinking is, 'Gee, that's very odd. Because those very skills of collaboration and flexible thinking and imagination and innovative thinking, [are] exactly what the performing arts teach us.'"
In recent years, Woetzel and Ma have barnstormed communities as evangelists for this idea, in what Woetzel has deemed an "artstrike." The concept brings artists out of their normal settings, usually while they're on tour, for a quick "strike" in a school, hospital or any place that they can make an impact.
Friday afternoon in the Benedict Music Tent, Ma and Woetzel demonstrated an artstrike with students from Basalt Middle School and actress Anna Deveare Smith, who was the Institute's artist-in-residence in 2006.
The students performed a spoken word piece called "What Makes Me Unique?" with Ma on cello and Christina Pato on piano. After the performance, Smith critiqued the kids and helped improve the elocution of their performance, while Woetzel gave instruction about hand movements to accentuate the performance.
"A lot of times we think art is about congratulations," Smith explained afterward. "[But] we rehearse things for the opportunity to correct. And exactly that area, of correction, is where education begins."
Artstrikers were joined by Charles "Lil Buck" Riley, a Memphis-based dancer who demonstrated his Gumby-like dexterity in his piece, "The Swan." He, Woetzel and Ma have taken their interactive artstrike act into schools from Los Angeles to Beijing to Lame Deer, Mont.
Another group of grade schoolers performed an interpretive dance they composed from a science lesson — the result of an artstrike from the nonprofit Celebrate the Beat — with Ma playing an Earth, Wind and Fire song beside them.
Woetzel and Ma also gave the crowd a taste of the student experience in an artstrike. Woetzel taught the crowd the opening movements to George Balanchine's ballet "Serenade," then had them perform the dance while Ma played Tchaikovsky. The crowd — Isaacson among them — followed along.
"We're making a common cause by participating," Woetzel explained. "The kids take it to another place because they use it as a learning tool."
Ma added that making art is essential for people beyond school age. He noted that when people are 2 years old, they nag their parents by incessantly asking "why?" But, he noted, they stop once they reach adulthood. Art, he said, is the thing that keeps asking "why?"
"I think art and music and poetry actually continues to ask that question as it's reaching out to find the answers," he said.
When he agreed to be the Institute's artist for 2013, Ma said he wanted to convene a group of conductors and music directors at Ideas Fest. Seven prominent conductors joined Ma and Woetzel for two days of private discussion before the festival, focusing on how they could impact their communities and use a symphony as an agent of social change.
"My question was, they are incredibly creative people, they are great organizers, they are producers — what would happen if they all came together?" he said Wednesday.
The consensus among them was that being excellent performers and leading world-class symphonies isn't enough anymore.
"We're no longer performing in institutions," David Alan Miller, of the Albany Symphony Orchestra, said Wednesday in a panel featuring Ma, Woetzel and the seven visiting conductors. "We're becoming these complete community resources."
They discussed projects ranging from urban development to historical preservation and public education, where they've reached out into their communities. Robert Spano, musical director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Aspen Music Festival and School, described a movement in recent years among accomplished conductors, and in the instruction of young musicians, toward more aggressive and thoughtful community outreach.
"It's rather exciting to see this shift in attitude," Spano said.
The shift benefits both the host community and classical musicians, whose core audiences have dwindled.
"I feel like I've become a better music director based on these three days," said Alastair Willis, director of the Illinois Symphony.
The conductor convocation took a serendipitous turn the night before Ideas Fest began, as retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal arrived on campus to launch the Institute's new Franklin Project. Franklin is aimed at creating a civilian national service counterpart to the military, with the goal of enlisting more than 1 million young Americans annually into yearlong volunteer opportunities like Americorps, Teach for America and the Peace Corps.
Ma lobbied McChrystal to include arts and culture organizations in the developing program.
"We crashed the Franklin Project," he laughed.

UAlbany Students Look to Connect with SUNY CNSE's World-Class Educational Opportunities
Watch WNYT Coverage
NanoCollege's cutting-edge Nanoeconomics Undergraduate Research Group provides SUNY students access to 21st Century skills and know-how
Albany, NY – As the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) continues to support the State University of New York's (SUNY) education-to-career pipeline, students are finding unique, high-tech internship opportunities at the NanoCollege. These challenging academic experiences are allowing current SUNY students to leverage CNSE's statewide footprint, state-of-the-art facilities, and globally recognized capabilities to open up exciting career paths.
Among the students benefitting from CNSE's statewide educational ecosystem, three University at Albany (UAlbany) undergraduates will be taking their business education to the next level by accepting positions with the Nanoeconomics Undergraduate Research Group at the NanoCollege. For 10 hours per week during the Spring 2014 semester and 40 hours each week during the summer, the students will be utilizing and creating business models and methods to help entrepreneurs, corporations, and policymakers figure out and implement the best practices for growing the state's innovation economy in the most efficient way.
"As these students move beyond what they've learned in the classroom and now use their knowledge to create real-world economic models, they will not only gain one-of-a-kind experience, they will also be improving our understanding of what makes the nanotechnology-based economy so successful as they evaluate the best means to create even more high-tech opportunities in New York State," said CNSE Assistant Professor of Nanoeconomics Dr. Unnikrishnan Pillai, who mentors the students taking part in the research group. "This exciting education will surely open up countless opportunities for these students as they gain unique skill sets as a result of having a first-row seat to the global, high-tech revolution that is centered right in this state."
Sophomores Kaita Albanese, an accounting and business administration double major, Bianca Tedesco, an economics major, and Dazhi Su, a finance major, will work to address critical questions related to the creation, adoption, and impact of nanotechnology. They say it is a thrilling opportunity to advance their SUNY education and gain first-hand experience analyzing and better understanding the trends driving New York's expanding high-tech economy.
The students said that this one-of-a-kind opportunity is providing them with a hands-on approach to learning that uses real-world research to advance industry and job growth. It's a first-class education that connects them with real life learning and career scenarios that they might not otherwise have been able to obtain from a more traditional college experience.
"This is like nothing I could have gotten anywhere else – it's the place to be, and there are so many directions that you can go," said Kaita Albanese, who plans on studying models of semiconductor industry supply chain coordination to quantify the best ways to further grow New York's high-tech industry. "I think this will definitely make me more knowledgeable with real-world experience which always helps. I think that's always better than classroom knowledge."
"This is really exciting - lots of opportunities can come from this," nanoeconomics research group intern Bianca Tedesco said. "It's research in general that will give me a step up compared to anyone when I apply to jobs or to grad school in the future." Tedesco added, "It will make me better in the actual real world – in the job world - where I will be for the rest of my life after I graduate from school. Even though this is just an internship, this is much more advanced and much more professional than anything I've ever had."
The students agreed that being connected to CNSE's unique academic environment and statewide reach will strongly enhance their SUNY UAlbany education.
"The experience I will acquire and the skill sets I will learn will be crucial for my future career," said Dazhi Su, who also accepted an internship position with the Nanoeconomics Undergraduate Research Group. "It's really a major step in my life. Think about someone who can work with top researchers or engineers - if you can be a part of this, think about the skills that you learn along the way."
Dazhi said CNSE offers a research experience and a career trajectory that are opening a new world for him. "For my career," he said, "there's potential that I could be a full-time employee in New York State."

FROM: Houda Mahayni, Ph.D., Interdisciplinary Scientist
Division of Over-the-Counter Drug Products, HFD-560
Over-the-counter (OTC) drug products can be marketed under two regulatory mechanisms:
(1) a new drug application (NDA)
(2) OTC drug monograph system
This discussion will focus on the OTC drug monograph system. More specifically, the OTC drug monograph for topical antifungal products will be discussed, with emphasis on those products used to treat athlete's foot (tinea pedis).
OTC Drug Monograph System
The OTC drug review began in 1972 as a review of the safety and effectiveness of OTC drugs on the market at the time. This marked the beginning of the OTC drug monograph system. FDA (we) initiated the OTC drug review by identifying a number of therapeutic categories for which we would establish OTC drug monographs. The OTC drug monograph system gives manufacturers a mechanism to market OTC drug products without needing a new drug application (NDA). Unlike OTC drug products marketed under an NDA, products marketed under an OTC drug monograph do not need pre-approval from FDA. OTC drug monographs list the conditions of use under which a drug product is generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE). The conditions of use include active ingredients (single or in combination), dosage strength, dosage form (in some cases), indications, warnings, directions for use, and, in some cases, final formulation testing.
The OTC drug review is a four step public rulemaking process:
(1) Advisory Review Panel: The Panel is a group of experts in a particular OTC drug category. The Panel reviews data for OTC drug products marketed prior to December 1975 and recommends GRASE conditions for an OTC drug monograph.
(2) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR): FDA publishes the ANPR in the Federal Register to announce its intention of creating an OTC drug monograph. The ANPR also contains the Panel's report, which lists the recommended GRASE conditions. Following publication of the ANPR, interested persons may submit comments and additional data regarding the Panel's recommendations during a 90-day comment period.
(3) Tentative Final Monograph (TFM): FDA publishes the TFM, or proposed rule, in the Federal Register as its preliminary position regarding the safety and effectiveness of each active ingredient in a therapeutic category. The TFM is based on FDA's interpretation of data provided to the Panel, the Panel's recommendations, and any new data submitted in response to the ANPR. Following publication of the TFM, there is a 90-day comment period.
(4) Final Monograph (FM): FDA reviews all comments and data submitted during the TFM comment period and amends the TFM to create the FM, or final rule, which is published in the Federal Register. The monograph is a set regulations included in the Code of Federal Regulations. The FM includes an effective date, after which drug products marketed under the monograph must comply with the conditions of use described in the monograph.
Each step in the process builds upon and is a continuation of the previous step. Although the FM is the final step in this OTC drug review process, FDA can amend the FM to include additional GRASE conditions (e.g., add a new active ingredient).
History of OTC Topical Antifungal Monograph
Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
The ANPR was published on
The Panel expressed concerns about the ingredients only mitigating the symptoms rather than curing the condition, as apparent by the statement that, in order to best serve all consumers, "an OTC product must provide more than temporary symptomatic relief of athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm" (Ref. 1, page 12489). The Panel required at least one well-designed clinical study demonstrating that an active ingredient treats athlete's foot as evidence of effectiveness. In reviewing the clinical trials, the Panel defined a well-controlled study as one that met the following six criteria (Ref. 1, pages 12491-92):
(1) double-blinded and randomized
(2) vehicle-controlled
(3) test groups of adequate size
(4) entry criteria based on clinical sign and symptoms with diagnosis verified by positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation and positive culture (confirming the presence of fungus)
(5) standardized dosing regimen (i.e., at least four week treatment for athlete's foot)
(6) follow-up examinations performed at the end of treatment and final evaluation of clinical results corroborated by negative KOH and negative culture two weeks after therapy ends
The Panel recommended an ingredient as GRASE for the treatment of athlete's foot if it was significantly more effective than vehicle. The Panel also reviewed clinical studies meeting this criterion that demonstrated tolnaftate is effective in the prevention of athlete's foot and recommended the prevention claim for this ingredient.
A relatively small percentage of the studies submitted to FDA actually met these criteria. There was considerable variability in the study protocols. Enrollment for most of the clinical studies submitted to the Panel was based on diagnosis of tinea pedis by a physician. In a third of the studies that included physician diagnosis, the diagnosis was confirmed by positive KOH and culture. Treatment duration varied between 2 to 6 weeks with the treatment duration being 4 weeks in the majority of studies. These studies also assessed efficacy at different time points and used different criteria for cure. All of these factors make it difficult to compare the cure rates of the monograph products to those of the NDA products because of differences in the design of the clinical studies.
In addition, the Panel proposed the idea of simple and concise labeling that "should enable the consumers to clearly understand the results that can be anticipated from the use of the product" (Ref. 1, page 12490). Examples of indications recommended by the Panel included the following (Ref. 1, page 12565):
· "treats athlete's foot"
· "for the treatment of athlete's foot and for the relief of itching"
Labeling for products used for the treatment of athlete's foot should include the following warning (Ref. 1, page 12565):
"If irritation occurs or if there is no improvement within 4 weeks, discontinue use and consult a doctor or pharmacist".
Furthermore, the Panel stated that "the directions for use should be clear and direct. They should provide the user with sufficient information to enable safe and effective use of the product" (Ref. 1, page 12490).
Based on the clinical studies, which generally involved four weeks of treatment, the Panel determined that OTC topical antifungal drug products are most effective in treating athlete's foot with application twice per day for 4 weeks. The Panel recommended that six active ingredients be classified as GRASE based on their review of the studies.
Tentative Final Monograph
The TFM, or proposed rule, was published on December 12, 1989 (Ref. 2). In the TFM, we discussed 25 clinical studies submitted following publication of the ANPR. Six of the 25 studies addressed athlete's foot. Based on these studies, we agreed with the Panel's recommended conditions of use except with regard to two active ingredients. we disagreed with the Panel and did not propose nystatin as GRASE. we also proposed to include povidone-iodine as GRASE based on clinical studies.
Final Monograph
The FM, or final rule, was published on
· clioquinol 3%
· haloprogin 1%
· miconazole nitrate 2%
· povidone-iodine 10%
· tolnaftate 1%
· undecylenic acid and its salts (calcium, copper, and zinc) for a total undecylenate concentration of 10-25%
We found all other ingredients considered in this rulemaking not to be GRASE for use in an OTC topical antifungal drug product. In addition, the FM includes labeling similar to that recommended by the Panel in the ANPR. All of the active ingredients are indicated for the treatment of athlete's foot as well as the relief of symptoms due to athlete's foot. One active ingredient, tolfaftate, is indicated for the prevention of athlete's foot. In addition, the active ingredients are indicated for the treatment of ringworm (tinea corporis) and jock itch (tinea cruris).
Final Monograph Amendment: "cures most" indication
Following publication of the FM, we published a proposed rule and a final rule on July 22, 1999, and August 29, 2000, respectively, to modify labeling of OTC topical antifungal drug products (Refs. 4 and 5). The amendment added the word "most" to the indication statement between the introductory phrase and the name of the condition(s) for which the product is to be used (e.g., "cures most athlete's foot"). We recognized that OTC topical antifungal drug products do not cure or treat all conditions commonly thought by consumers to be athlete's foot or jock itch. We also noted that varying percentages of subjects were clinically and mycologically cured of athlete's foot infection. Inserting a qualifying word (i.e., "most") into the indication statement would help inform consumers about what they can expect from these products. We pointed out that this amended label is consistent with current labeling approved for OTC vaginal antifungal drug products marketed under NDAs. The OTC vaginal antifungal drug product labeling states that the product "cures most vaginal yeast infections."
Final Monograph Amendment: Addition of clotrimazole as an ingredient
In addition to this amendment, on

May 12, 2014 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff WriterIt all started with a question: How was it that half of the town of Lander seemed to be related to him?
With Lander's population about 3,300 in the 1950s when he was growing up, Dean Szczepanski was curious about the close and distant family connections he had with many residents beyond his first cousins.
So, at an early age, Szczepanski decided involve himself in his own genealogy project. He is still working on it today.
Szczepanski was born and raised in Lander. His father, Henry Frank Szczepanski, who sometimes went by H.F. or Hank, was born to Polish immigrants and grew up in Philadelphia.
His mother, Dorothy Hudson, was born in Lander and remained in the Lander area for several generations.
Early discoveries
The town of Hudson was named for Szczepanski's second great uncle, Daniel Frost Hudson.
His parents met in Casper during World War II, while his father was stationed there for training. His father later moved to Lander and worked as a household appliance repairman at Lander Electric formerly at 332 Main St.
He later bought and owned the business. Today, the Lander Journal sits at that address.
Szczepanski left for Montana to attend college and later returned to Lander in the 1980s, when he worked as a psychology specialist at the Wyoming State Training School.
Once back home, he revisited his interest in the genealogy project and decided to extend it to other families in the area and, eventually, across Fremont County.
Three books
He found inspiration in three books. "South Pass 1868," by James Chisholm, was a favorite for Szczepanski, so he decided to begin his genealogy work with that year --1868.
The book tells the story of the Wyoming gold rush in the 1860s through Chisholm, who was a journalist sent to South Pass to find stories of those driven to find gold and gain riches.
This journal-style, first-hand account offered a "fascinating local history," Szczepanski said, that also provided information about his great grandfather, William Jones, who was a butcher in the mining district during the gold rush.
Two other books gave history on the towns of Hingman and Cohasset, Mass. Szczepanski's mother had Puritan ancestors who lived in those towns from 1635 to 1850. In his research he found about 75 of his direct ancestors in records carefully kept by the clerks of Hingman and Cohasset.
"An exciting discovery was that I am related to Abraham Lincoln," he said, adding that Lincoln's original immigrant ancestors came to Hingman and Cohasset as well.
That exciting piece of information sparked both hope and the urge to keep going.
"I thought that, with some research, I could produce the same sort of history for my home county in Wyoming," he said.
Newspaper records
Szczepanski used microfilm at public libraries to look up old Riverton and Lander newspaper articles. Microfilm is small photographic copies of printed material on long strips of film. A computer reader or scanner helps make the small images appear larger. Libraries first used microfilm in the mid-20th century preserve newspapers and save shelf space.
Szczepanski documented each person's information in 3 x 5 cards. Today, has them organized in file drawers. He said his record keeping also improved over time.
"There is a tendency to get caught up in the excitement of the moment with a new discovery," he said.
Depending on where he found information he abbreviated the newspaper names. He often used the Wyoming State Journal (now the Lander Journal) and The Riverton Ranger, now simply (The Ranger), also finding information in the Fremont Clipper and the Wind River Mountaineer that date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Lander and Riverton public libraries still offer the use of microfilm at no cost. The Wyoming State Archives and wyonewspapers.org are other useful online tools for looking up old records.
In 1988, Szczepanski's research slowed as he left for a new job in Yakima, Wash. He didn't completely stop however, and obtained microfilm via interlibrary loan. Once a request was made, Szczepanski said it would take about two weeks to receive the film. Reading the entire rolls of film was tedious work.
"It's one of those tasks that if I had known how much work it was going to be, I never would have started," he said.
He would request one or several rolls of old census records and hope to find something regarding his ancestors.
"I might or might not find it," Szczepanski said. "If not, I may have had to request additional rolls and repeat the process."
This was the process before the Internet. Soon, websites gave people a new way of looking into generations and "revolutionized genealogical research," Szczepanski said.
He explained how websites had census records indexed and searchable by name. A simple Google.com search could pull up information about someone, especially if the person had a unique name or if the searcher knew basic information.
"What used to take weeks or months can now be accomplished in minutes," he said. "I could not have made the progress I have without such tools."
Szczepanski has used various ways to dig into whatever family information has been transcribed. Written records also were hard to read, he said, because the ink faded or handwriting styles changed over periods of decades or centuries. Obituaries were useful items in newspapers.
"The best ones provide dates and places of births, marriages and death, which are the backbone information for genealogical research," Szczepanski said.
With increasing information about parents, siblings and other relatives, connections could be made with other family members in the area, he said. Newspaper articles, and birth, wedding or divorce announcements also provided him with useful information.
Szczepanski made the project his priority in 2011 when he retired from his job in Yakima.
He said the project is "solving dozens of little mysteries. It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of pieces," he said. "Again, trying to figure out how everyone is related."

Tom wrote upthread: # If you find yourself with nothing else to do except review a new patch # during beta, then sure, go do it. But is there *really* nothing you # could be doing to help expedite the beta? My honest answer to this question is that I have no idea. It was pretty clear to me what I was supposed to be doing during CommitFest (reviewing patches) but a lot less clear to me what I should be doing during beta. I know that there was an open items list, but it was never really clear to me how I should help with that. A lot of the open items were pretty mushy, subjective issues, or that was how they seemed to me - not so much "How are we going to fix this?" but "Is this worth fixing?" and "What kind of fix is appropriate?". IOW, what they needed before any useful technical work could be done was consensus. Of course, both committers and non-committers need consensus to make changes, but committers need a lot less consensus. If no one strongly objects, they just apply. Non-committers, on the other hand, need the affirmative support of a committer to actually perform the commit. It's a lot easier to get to "no one things this is a really bad idea" than it is to get to "one of these six people thinks this is a good idea and that person is willing to devote an hour of their day (or more) to making it happen". It seems to me that the solution to this problem is pretty simple. Committers need to say exactly what kind of help they want; they need to affirmatively tell other people what to do. If Tom wants someone to develop a patch for bug XYZ, he should say that he is prepared to apply such a patch and ask for volunteers. That helps path authors in three ways: 1. Prospective patch authors know that Tom thinks this is important and that it could hold up the release. 2. Prospective patch authors know that this isn't something that Tom is already working on. 3. Prospective path authors know that they have a good chance of getting something applied quickly, without waiting 1-7 months for the next CommitFest. I think committers are reluctant to do this for fear of being seen as pushy, or for fear of being seen to use their status as committers as way to throw their weight around. In fact, I've heard more than one committer make statements of the form, well, we don't really have any more weight to throw around than anyone else. The problem with this is that it's blatantly false, and no non-committer who has taken the time to write a patch is under any contrary illusion. If a hamster and an elephant are trying to sit on the same bench, the hamster does not want the elephant to assert that he is a hamster; he wants the elephant to announce his choice of seat prior to putting his bottom in it. ...Robert
