Ratings for Dr. Jeff Hans
His motto is "maybe it's best not to know". He just doesn't care.
Dr Hans is an extremely intelligent and concise General Practitioner. He can accurately diagnose and get to the root of the problem. When it comes to common sense however, he's all thumbs and appears to be somewhat aloof...
Because of this DR I would probably not be typing this comment. Dr Jeff Hans is the best!!
Doctors are not perfect neither is Dr. Hans. Too slow to take action and not much of a risk takers in resolving medical issues. He rather lets the simmer until a crisis is had and its too late.
This Doctor should not be in medical practice. I needed an operation ASAP, and he didn't bother to even find a specialist for me nor did he tell me how bad it was. I finally found out what was wrong with me when I changed doctors when I moved away. I have my medical records from this doctor,and I'm shocked at what he had written in his reports about me. I know doctors are not perfect, but Dr. Hans should be ashamed of himself. But then why should he, he has no compassion even for his own.
this doctor is exceptional. i have known he and his family for many years, and his service to our family has always been outstanding. more like him please!
Dr. Hans has been our family doctor for over 20yrs.I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the office and I have always gotten in to see him on the day that I have called. I have never felt rushed in his office and have always been treated with kindness and respect.Dr. Hans is very professional and has a great sense of humour.There was even one time when one of the children was leaving for university and became ill that day and Dr. Hans stopped by at the house on his way to the hospital. We are very lucky to have him as our doctor. Thank you, your the best!
Dr.Hans has been our family doctor for about 10 years now and is always available when we need him. We never have to wait any more then 10 minutes when we go in for an appointment and he is always ready and willing to discuss any problems we might have and never rushs us out of his office. I have a special needs son and I hope that he will always be avilable to be his doctor as he is extremely good with him and treats him respect and kindness.
Very good doctor, good sense of humour, take time for his patients, really nice, good personnality....
This doctor is always quite pleasant and appears well-kept. His parole officer must be very proud of him. He always tries to speak to me in my preferred native tongue, Swahili.

Hi all,
I have 5 or 6 ENORMOUS amalgam fillings (had malformed enamel) that I really want to have replaced. I've searched through every holistic/biological dentistry organization, but there are no holistic/biological dentists anywhere within 4 (or more) hours of me). I am nursing my 19 month old son, and do not plan on weaning anytime soon, so I am concerned about the procedure- obviously I want every precaution taken, so was really, really hoping for a holistic/biological dentist. I don't want to wait until my son is done nursing to have them replaced if I can help it, because I would like to have them replaced before my next pregnancy, which will likely happen before he decides to wean. Any suggestions? Has anyone here decided to have amalgam fillings replaced by a "regular" dentist? Has you dentist tried to accomodate your wishes regarding safety? Would it be worth it for me to travel out-of-province (which would be much more expensive, obviously, with the cost of gas and a hotel)
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
This may not be what you want to hear, but if you don't plan to wean before you get pregnant, I'd keep them and work on your nutrient status and reducing other sources of toxins from your life instead. Even removal done with good safety protocols releases extra mercury into circulation--I weaned my son to get mine out and I'm glad. That headache I got after I got mine out was not a coincidence.
I too would not get them out either unless you wean. That is not fair to your nursling. I felt so bad when I had to get a small one out a few months ago as there was a cavity around it. We were a mess afterwards. Totally felt the release of metals and am glad that I don't need any more of my big ones out. There are plenty of ways to deal with the metals without taking them out. Do a mother search for the threda "anyone regret their mercury removel". We discuss it there.
It isn't what I wanted to hear, haha, but to be honest, that is my gut feeling, too.
The fillings are just enormous. For example, one of them is a (quite literally) tooth-sized piece that is attached to the root of my tooth (which is the only thing that is left of that tooth, essentially), by 2 big screws, 3 others are at least pea-sized...and then there are several other ones that are smaller.... My teeth are chipping away from them, because they are so old (12+ years). The thing is, the work needs to be done one way or another, my dentist has been talking about crowns on 2 or 3 of them for several years, and one of them (the worst one, with the screws), is getting quite sensitive to both temperature and sweet things.
I am very worried about leaving these teeth the way they are. I will probably be either pregnant or nursing (or both) for 5 or 6 more years at least, and I just can't see them even lasting that long (and I don't want to risk needing emergency work done on them during pregnancy or the early months of nursing an infant, you know?).
I've done lots of reading on Weston Price, and I've started following a (mostly) traditional foods diet with the help of "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon. I've eaten mostly local, organic foods and pastured meat for probably close to 5 years now, don't use cosmetics, fluoride toothpastes, etc, have only used baking soda and vinegar for household cleaning, etc for years, I see a chiropractor regularly, and we see a naturopathic doctor instead of a GP, no vaccinations, no drugs..... there aren't any major ways, I don't think, to reduce my toxin exposure otherwise (these days). My past is not so toxin-free, however- I spent a summer treeplanting, and we were told not to have kids within 3 years because of the pesticides sprayed on the trees (i WISH i had just gotten on a plane and come home, but that was 9-10 years ago though, and i was young and foolish)....I did a youth exchange in East Africa and got a LOT of different vaccinations, and was on a pretty nasty malaria prophylactic for 6 months (that was 8 years ago).... and in my previous job, I worked in organic agricultural research, and was exposed to A LOT of different chemicals doing analysis in the lab (I experienced 2 miscarriages while working there).... I did a great detox cleanse (6 weeks) about 4 years ago, and of course want to do another, but can't while nursing, either.
My pregnancy with my son was incredibly healthy until 34 weeks, when I suddenly developed high blood pressure, low blood platelets, and some abnormal liver enzyme levels. It was looking like pre-eclampsia, except that I never spilled protein in my urine, and then it was looking like HELLP... I had a partial placental abruption at 35 weeks and had to be induced. The more I learn about both of these syndromes, the more concerned I get about the state of my liver....
After blabbering all this out (sorry ladies, I tend to get long-winded), I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I need these fillings out, and then I need a good solid detox, and then a good solid recovery period before becoming pregnant again. Neither of which I want to do while still nursing. But this would mean delaying pregnancy for probably another 2 (or more) years, unless I wean my son before he makes that decision...
I suppose this is something that I could also post to a breastfeeding forum... I wonder if there is a point in our nursing relationship where it would be OK to do this (for example, once he is down to just a quick comfort nursing once a day?). I feel as though I will need to make a decision between the benefits of extended nursing, and the realities of having more babies (we had hoped for 3 or 4 kids, but this might have to change)
Thanks for listening to my blabbering thoughts, girls. I appreciate your input.
I understand. I have lyme dsease and am full of toxic crap and I have made the decision the other day ot wean my nursing ds very soon, who is 18months. I really would like another child some day, but wont put my next child what he wnt through. I also need to feel better and I gave so much and now it is time for me to get better so I can be a better mom. I would have like to nurse longer but I made it this far and it is ok with me now. I have cut down to only going to sleep and I will cut that out perhaps in a month. I am in full support of breastfeedin for longer, but for me personally when dealing with toxins and lyme, I am ready to get better and not pass it to more children.
My inclination would also be to get them removed. If the fillings are failing they may very well be releasing mercury already. I had a large amalgam filling removed and replaced with a crown, and I still remember how I felt better the exact moment it came out. This was done by a regular dentist at his recommendation. I did not know the questions to ask but IIRC he mentioned some safety precautions. I've had smaller ones replaced as well by regular dentists without problems. I think plenty of dentists that do not describe themselves as holistic are trained to do this. I think it is worth calling around to see what they say. I don't know how long it takes for some people to recover from amalgam removal, but at that stage in nursing I went w/o nursing or pumping for a week on travel and resumed right back when I returned, so a temporary hiatus could be a good compromise.

Fancy Babies Have Their Own Hot Tubs Now
Babies are so lazy. They lie back in their strollers and get pushed around everywhere. They're given everything they want just by screaming and crying. They've even got people wiping their butts. Babies just got even more obnoxious: that is, the babies with their very own hot tub. A bath and shower company has launched the $2,185 BluBleu hot tub for very fancy babies. Ten air jets will pump bubbles on their tiny tuchuses and underwater LEDs will emit blue, indigo and violet lights for "chromotherapy," aka color therapy. We're certain these babies will land themselves in actual therapy when they outgrow this miniature hot tub in 12 months. [The Week]

Thanks for the feedback Edmond.
I think the only solution is to hack the htdig code as you suggest below and
revert the separator back to the '&'.
If I use CGI.pm Version 2.64, which apparently does allow for the semicolon
separator, I still have the problem that when HTML forms are submitted the
ampersand is used, but when next/prev page clicks are done from the search
results page the semicolon is used. Because of this inconsistency, writing
any wrapper seems next to impossible to handle both cases at the same time.

Statement from The Revolutionary Tendency Regarding Sanctuary Camp and Ending Homelessness
Legalize the Right of the Poor to Sleep!
For Human and Environmental Needs, Not Profit!
Here is an interesting video on homelessness in Santa Cruz which includes a proposal for a a safe camp for the homeless to sleep at night. Currently, it is illegal for the homeless in Santa Cruz to sleep at night. The video claims to be the beginning of the discussion. Actually, the discussion has been going on for a long time now. The video also calls for the "ideal" being a sanctuary camp in Santa Cruz with good relations with "law enforcement". Unfortunately, the reality is that the police, and their bosses on the City Council, see the homeless as the enemy and treat them as criminals. It is an illusion to think that suddenly those in power will stop treating the poor as enemies. It is extremely likely that a new camp will face similar repression and a repeat of the hateful propaganda in the corporate media that all other homeless camps have faced in the past.
The Revolutionary Tendency supports the right of the homeless to sleep at night without the violence and harassment of the police, vigilantes, and courts. This will include the defense of this new attempt at an organized camp for the homeless, whatever the reaction of the corporate media and repressive government.
Yet, to truly solve questions of homelessness will take the overthrow of the capitalist system and the smashing of the repressive capitalist state. The nationalization of the banks alone will free up enough unused housing to put everyone in a home. The socialist abolition of rent will make keeping a roof over our heads much easier and end the near feudal relations many of us have with our landlords who collect an extremely high percentage of our wages. Our socialized planned economy will completely eliminate unemployment by maintaining and expanding all work that is socially useful, regardless of profit. Socialized healthcare will end the debt and homelessness suffered by some people for simply becoming ill. Socialized healthcare will also include free non-religious based drug and alcohol treatment for all who want it. In addition, all who are too disabled to work will easily be provided for in a society that puts human needs over the extreme and obscene profits of a few greedy capitalists.

Sorry. I was going to refute the fantasy about overthrowing the state and then all will have roofs over their head and full bellies and we'll dance in circles with arms interwoven in solidarity at sunset....but I decided it's just not worth it.
Could you maybe provide ONE example of a working utopian society as you've described it in the history of the planet? Please?

The less forgiving might call it fraud the size of a planet...

There is a difference, Keep it Real, between Mr Argue saying what he believes would be a better, more compassionate nation, and you calling it Utopian to ridicule the idea in a rhetorical way.
There is in fact a clear need for serious deep change in this society, rather than your dismissive comment with no suggestion of what you would do to make anything better. In reality you are
callous and do not care.

I'd love to hear more about how this country is going to convert to socialism; is this going to be something we all vote on? Who decides who is in charge?. Do all private businesses have to close their doors while a bureacracy confiscates their assets for redistribution?
I think there is nothing more hollow than calls for converting to socialism followed by no specifics. It makes me think that the entire movement is about the sound and the fury rather than effecting change.

Curren$y Praises Pharrell Williams' 'In My Mind' Album & 'Rapper's Delight' for Black Music Month
Curren$y respects Pharrell Williams' tenacity. In honor of Black Music Month, the rapper chose to put the spotlight on the N.E.R.D. member for his musical versatility and determination to strive in the face of adversity.
"He represents all the different eras of music that we've been through," Curren$y tells The BoomBox. "He's very vocal about the struggle that he went through… just in the industry."
Pharrell, who collaborated with the New Orleans native on "Chasin' Paper," a song featured on his new album, The Stoned Immaculate, out today, also has a positive track from his catalog that resonates with Curren$y: "You Can Do It Too." "It's the greatest song he ever recorded," the Jet Life founder admits.
Witness Curren$y share his admiration for Pharrell and explain why The Sugarhill Gang's classic hit "Rapper's Delight" inspired him to get involved with hip-hop.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/5/2009 (3004 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
He was mandated by the government to examine university and college education with particular emphasis on student tuition fees. He recommended that the existing system fundamentally remain unchanged, with an increase in tuition fees that will have little effect.
In doing so Levin failed to take the opportunity of breaking new ground while perpetuating all of the inadequacies of the present system. The increase in tuition fees is insufficient to be of any assistance to the institutions of higher learning. The increase will impose an additional burden on students of lower income groups. Students from upper- and middle-income groups will be subsidized to the extent of roughly 75 per cent of the cost of their education.
We are left with the worst of all possible worlds. People who cannot afford a university education are deterred from improving themselves while people who may be able to afford it will be heavily subsidized.
Levin confirms that the majority of people who take advantage of higher education are the more affluent, with exceptions of course.
Levin should have recommended, instead, fully public funding for post-seconday education. High school used to end at Grade 11. Then Grade 12 was provided as an alternative to and the equivalent of first-year university. Thousands of students got a first-year university at public expense, which benefitted us all.
Yet society has stubbornly resisted applying to continued education the principles that we apply to the first 12 years -- that the process of education of the populace benefits society as a whole and society as a whole should pay for it.
Levin and his commission considered the matter in one page of its 57-page report and summarily dismissed it on the same page. But Levin got it wrong! He says that some groups argue that education should be free. I have heard no intelligent person making such an argument. Nothing is free! What I and others have argued is that education is a social desirability and responsibility and should be publicly funded. Levin and his group recommend that tuition fees be high enough to deter mainly lower income groups and low enough as to give upper income groups a healthy subsidy.
To sustain this position the commission trots out the hackneyed argument that the people who get a higher education reap considerable financial benefits and that in any event the tuition fee is not the determining feature of university attendance. It ignores the fact that society is the principal beneficiary of higher education and that people who get a higher income will be taxed accordingly.
I grew up in the North End of Winnipeg among general lower income groups. It was taken for granted by all my classmates that very few of us would get a university education. The cultural imperative was that we would finish high school and get a job. University was for the rich people, and for those who were exceptionally gifted, won scholarships or whose parents and themselves made sacrifices.
Student loans and bursaries have increased accessibility, but that attitude prevails and is encouraged by the tuition system. The somebodies go to universities. The nobodies get a job.
When I raised this matter in the legislature some of my Conservative friends replied that it was only right that people should go to work to earn their tuition fees, as I did. I responded that I thought this was a great idea and suggested university students be required to produce documentation to show that they had worked to earn their tuition fees. The idea was abandoned.
The system of imposing tuitions has nothing to say for it. Paying for higher education publicly would have little immediate effect but, in the long run, would have dramatic effects.
Ireland, a relatively poor country, finances higher education. In Ireland, over a period of time, it will be possible to say that higher education is for everyone. In Manitoba if we continue to follow the principles enunciated by Levin and his commission higher education will still be for the upper and middle classes.

Puenta with Lift
DT: What is the leader doing here, Andrew?
Both will rise with weight
on their right feet at
the point where the man's
right is at in the photo
Andrew: As we place the follower into a puenta, we actually go into a lunge. First we should step back small with our right foot and then go into a lunge with all our weight on our right foot and let our left leg extend behind us. For this particular Puenta, rather than walking the follower back up, I basically stand up over my right leg and I bring the follower up with me. She slides forward rather than me walking her back up to straight.
DT: Kana, does anyone lead you in such a move as this while you are dancing socially?
Kana:No. But Andrew did when we danced socially first time. (laughs)
DT: Did you try that with Kana the first time you danced socially?
Andrew: Yes. I had seen her dance so I knew she could do it.
DT: Did she make a face?
Andrew: She didn't make a face, but she laughed. Most followers are surprised because the puenta is not led that deeply very often, and they are generally always stood back up rather than being lifted back up.
DT: Kana, you have given workshops and danced in your native country, Japan, and visit there frequently. How is Argentine Tango faring in Japan?
Kana: I have tango workshop in Japan every 3 months, 6 months at most and tango community is growing, even in my town which is not Tokyo. In Tokyo they have more tango community
DT: Where is your town?
Kana: My town is Fukuoka, closer to Korea and China. And as you know probably from different movies like "Shall We Dance", Japanese people more reserved to be so close. But tango they start dancing close embrace as well as open hold.
DT: In New York, where you reside, what is the mix of close embrace and open style?
Kana: Most dance close embrace but there are people that prefer open hold as well. And either works.

WASHINGTON -- "Catholic is not just an adjective accidental to who you are," Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz., told presidents of U.S. Catholic colleges and universities Jan. 30. "Catholic is the core of your identity, the center of what you are about."
Kicanas, himself a former president/rector of the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Chicago, gave the keynote address at the Jan. 28-30 annual convention of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities in Washington.
He focused on two recent events that have served to frame the concept of Catholic identity in Catholic higher education as the main theme for this year's ACCU gathering.
One was the church's recent beatification of Blessed John Henry Newman -- a 19th-century convert from Anglicanism to Catholicism, and a leading British intellectual who became a cardinal and left two main landmarks on Catholic thought: his pre-conversion Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine and his later The Idea of a University, a volume collecting lectures on the nature of a Catholic university that he had given during his appointment as first head of the Catholic University of Ireland (now University College, Dublin).
The other was the recent 20th anniversary of Ex Corde Ecclesiae ("From the Heart of the Church"), the 1990 apostolic constitution in which Pope John Paul II established goals and norms of Catholic identity for Catholic colleges and universities around the world.
During Newman's four years as head of the new Catholic University of Ireland, Kicanas said, the future cardinal "was totally engaged, especially in selecting faculty, including a number of laymen, always looking out for those whose character and ability would foster the work of the university. Some of his choices were not universally applauded. He wanted laity involved, which broke with the tradition that universities should be under the strict control of clerics."
Full text of Bishop Gerald Kicanas speech
"Newman mingled with students and delighted in their company" and established student activity resources that would prepare them for their future life in the real world of his day, including such things as horseback riding and billiard tables in student common rooms, he said.
Kicanas suggested that Newman's combination of practicality and rigorous theological standards in his approach to Catholic higher education is instructive today, especially in light of Pope John Paul II's 1980 call, in Ex Corde Ecclesiae, for Catholic colleges and universities to reaffirm their fundamental Catholic identity.
"He is your brother, your mentor," Kicanas said.
"Above all he would expect that you place Catholic identity first among your concerns," he said.
"He would challenge each of you," he added, "to do what you do with integrity. … He would emphasize his understanding that the faithful as a whole possess the Spirit and should be listened to. This has much to say on how we exercise authority. He would encourage you to educate a generation of laity who would bring their faith to bear on burning questions of this time. This is what he did in his time."
Kicanas praised the recent efforts of U.S. Catholic colleges and universities to reaffirm and strengthen their Catholic identity.
"You need to set the laity afire with their responsibility to bring the gospel values to the pressing concerns of our day and to take their proper place as co-workers in the vineyard with the ordained to realize the Lord's mission. … Your work of evangelization among the young and not so young is at the heart of the church's work," he said.
On the relationship between bishops and Catholic colleges and universities, Kicanas said that "encouragement and trust are the foundations" of the norms for Catholic higher education set out by Pope John Paul in Ex Corde Ecclesiae.
"The church does and indeed must be interested and involved in Catholic institutions of higher education, not to meddle or to cause trouble or conflict, but because who you are and what you do is at the heart of the church's mission," he said.
He said that in his experience initial concerns in the academic world about the effect of the norms "have lessened as universities and colleges have learned that bishops seek communication and desire cooperation and collaboration."
"I sense a true and fervent desire (of those in Catholic higher education) to be Catholic, to remain Catholic. … Our Catholic institutions are incorporating moral and religious principles and the social teachings of the church into all they do. Pro-life groups, mission immersions, prayer and retreat opportunities, ethical and moral education in all fields of study are more common than not in your schools," he said. "They are part of campus life and the culture of your institutions."

FUN TIME: Ashley Ranck, a Slippery Rock University English major from Lancaster, enjoys the company of Ghanaian children. Ranck visited Ghana in August as part of an undergraduate research project.
Student researchers visit Ghana
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - They stayed in a village that lacked electricity until a year ago. They ate goat soup and taught in a classroom without a roof. But the insight three Slippery Rock University students gained into the lives of women in the Republic of Ghana far out weighed the lack of modern conveniences during a recent research trip there.
Students said they also learned a lot about themselves.
"I knew it would be the experience of a lifetime and something I would most likely not get the chance to do again," said Ashley Ranck, an English major from Lancaster. "I am really passionate about women's studies and felt the need to help others help themselves. The opportunity to do this in Ghana was perfect."
Ranck, Kara Cooke Robeson, a social work major from Slippery Rock, and Nita Shippy, an English major from Hyndman, spent two weeks researching the daily lives and economic status of women in Ghana. Cindy LaCom, SRU professor of English and coordinator of the University's Women's Studies Program, led the once-in-a lifetime endeavor.
Students said the purpose of their research was to learn more about the dynamics of Ghanaian women within their families, villages and country. Students are also researching how small loans help women build businesses and, ultimately, improve the national economy.
Ghana, in West Africa, has a population of 24 million people and is home to more than 100 ethic groups with more than 40 languages. The official language is English, but most Ghanaians speak at least one local language.
SRU students conducted dozens of interviews with young and older women and read four books about micro financing, including "Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty" by Muhammad Yunus.
"We really went over there to see how these women can help themselves, which is the most powerful thing you can do for someone," Ranck said. "We wanted to see the roles of men versus women and the roles women hold in their society. To give women power that can't be torn down by a natural disaster or taken by the government and that will continue once we step off African soil was very important to us."
Students are writing papers about their observations this semester and plan to present their ethnographic findings during SRU's annual research symposium in the spring and at the 2011 National Women's Studies Association Conference, LaCom said. The Ghana women are clients of Joy 2 the World, a non-profit organization that provides microloans for women entrepreneurs in Ghana. Translators were provided for the interviews.
"We asked what a typical day is like for them, what their financial contribution to the household was, the children's education and how often they ate," Ranck said. "We really wanted to make these women into humans and not just a 'client' or simply a far-away story."

Video: Cat hitches ride on sheep's back
There are plenty of stereotypes out there about how cats relate to other members of the animal kingdom: They hate dogs, they want to eat mice, they think they're the boss of humans.
Well, here's an interesting video that might provide some insight into how they relate to sheep. And it looks like they get along pretty good.

Supervisor Chris Daly asked the city attorney to draft legislation to permanently ban cars on Market Street between Octavia Boulevard and the Embarcadero, an idea that has been floated by various city leaders, including former Mayor Willie Brown, for more than a decade.
Daly said discussion of a proposal by Mayor Gavin Newsom to close portions of city streets, including a large stretch of the Embarcadero, on two Sundays this year prompted his action.
"It's the city's grand boulevard," Daly said. "Why don't we go for the gold?"

It's War: Oreo Gets Caught Sneaking Itself Into Movies
Be honest: You've probably snuck a snack into a movie theater once or twice, right? Maybe it's because of that one time that you binged on Junior Mints and can no longer look at them. Or maybe because you'd like to munch on something healthier than a Corgi-sized tub of buttered popcorn. Whatever the reason, it's probably not good to brag about it the way that Oreo did. That's right — Oreo, the cookie company, tweeted about sneaking Oreos (natch) into the movies. And they so got caught by movie theater company AMC. Check out the full Twitter battle after the jump…

MannKind's Alfred Mann relinquishes chairman role
Alfred Mann stepped down.
A quarter-century after founding MannKind ($MNKD), chairman Alfred Mann announced his resignation this week; the company appointed Kent Kresa to serve in the role. Over his career, Mann founded 14 companies, 9 of which were acquired at a total of nearly $8 billion. He founded MannKind in 1991, but the company has seen tumult lately over the failure of the inhaled insulin Afrezza. MannKind's partner on the med, Sanofi ($SNY), recently dropped out, leaving MannKind to search for a new partner on top of some executive reshuffling earlier this year. Kresa has served as a MannKind director since 2004 and as a lead director since 2011. He's chairman emeritus of Northrop Grumman, having previously served as that company's CEO and chairman. Mann was named chairman emeritus of Valencia, CA-based MannKind and will continue to advise in a nonexecutive capacity. Release
Ipsen splits with Deputy CEO Christel Bories over strategy 'disagreements'
Christel Bories left the company.
Ipsen's deputy CEO, Christel Bories, parted ways with the company this week due to "disagreements over strategy." However, the reshuffle at Paris, France-based Ipsen didn't stop there, as CEO Marc de Garidel also stepped aside and will limit his role to that of nonexecutive chairman. Terms of Bories' departure will entitle her to a severance package, an arrangement that has prompted questions about whether there really was a strategy disagreement, FierceBiotech reports. Bories, who had served as Ipsen's deputy CEO since March 2013, played a key role in the company's operational performance, freeing de Garidel to take on strategic direction and development. Ipsen, which is characterizing the restructure as a corporate governance evolution, says a new CEO will be in place "within the coming months." Story
Hemispherx, following examination of 'priorities,' lets go of CEO William Carter
Hemispherx Biopharma
William Carter was dismissed.
Pledging to implement "a strong financial austerity plan," penny-stock biotech Hemispherx Biopharma ($HEB) this week fired its chairman and longtime CEO, William Carter, who joined the company in 1978. No reason was stated for the firing, but Hemispherx said Carter's departure "will harmonize the management team." Philadelphia, PA-based Hemispherx made the move following months of "re-examining its fundamental priorities in terms of direction, corporate culture and its ability to fund operations," it said in a filing, adding that it plans to implement "a strict anti-nepotism policy." The company has spent decades developing Ampligen, a Carter-invented drug, through two FDA rejections in chronic fatigue syndrome. Story

The widespread use of email has provided hackers and crackers with an easy way to distribute harmful content to the internal network. Hackers can easily circumvent the protection offered by a firewall by tunneling through the email protocol, since it does not analyze email content.
CNN reported in January 2004 that the MyDoom virus cost companies about US$250 million in lost productivity and tech support expenses, while NetworkWorld (September 2003) cited studies that placed the cost of fighting Blaster, SoBig.F, Wechia and other email viruses at US$3.5 billion for US companies alone.
Furthermore, email is also used to install trojans, targeted specifically at your organization to obtain confidential information or gain control of your servers. Described as "instructive viruses" or "spy viruses" by computer security experts, these can be potent tools in industrial espionage.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google ( GOOG), despite the continued hype behind its competitor's innovative products and its withdrawal from China, may be attractive and for good reason.The search engine giant's emergence into the mobile device world through its Nexus One and Android software stack, which includes an operating system, has been a hit. Google recently announced that 60,000 cell phones equipped with Android are shipping on a daily basis. Top Five Legal Issues for the Cloud: Forbes Additionally, advertising on the Android continues to increase. According to advertising firm AdMob, U.S. ad impressions on Android devices have increased to 42% in February from 27% in November and worldwide ad impressions have increased by 2%. What makes Google even more appealing on this front, is that it appears to be taking advertising share from Apple's ( APPL) iPhone, which has seen declines of ad impressions to 44% from 55% during the same time frame. Furthermore, Google's mobile phone can be found on Verizon ( VZ), Sprint ( S), AT&T ( T) and T-Mobile's platforms. A second factor that is likely to support Google's strength is its upgrade to its online package of word processing and spreadsheet programs, Google Docs. The changes, which were introduced on Monday, include several editing tools for word processing and quicker ways to fill cells in spreadsheets, which will enable it to directly compete with Microsoft ( MSFT) Office. The beauty behind Google Docs is that all of its applications are hosted over the Internet, whereas Microsoft's software is typically installed on individual's computers or workspaces. Another factor likely to bolster Google's attractiveness is the recent talk about developing a tablet device based on its Android operating system software. The New York Times recently reported that Google has been working with numerous hardware makers to construct the perfect tablet device to compete against Apple's iPad and the Amazon ( AMZN) Kindle. Lastly, from a fundamental perspective, Google is highly attractive. The technology giant is trading at 18 times forward earnings, a far cry from the average price-to-earnings ratio of 29 seen in 2008. From an earnings yield perspective, Google's forward earnings yield is 5.5%, an attractive yield. To further bolster its appeal, the Mountain View, Calif. firm has a hoard of cash on its balance sheet.

On Thursday, Toys "R"Us announced the availability of its new "Become a Sing-a-ma-jig! doll" app on Facebook which essentially allows you to superimpose a picture of your face on an image of the plush, singing doll, then post it on your wall for the world to see.
The app is housed on the "Holiday" tab of the Toys "R" Us Facebook fan page. It runs quick and is easy to use – you click on the tab, pick the doll of your choice, and then you have the option to select a photo either from Facebook or uploaded from your computer.
Once you pick a photo, hit save and you're done. Next up you can either post the doll image to your Facebook wall, or click on a link that takes you to the Toys "R" Us site where you can purchase the product for your favorite three to five-year-old.
I think the app is a clever way to advertise – and get others to advertise for you, for free on Facebook. The only problem is, the doll looked weird with my face on it. I wasn't sure if it was just my face that made it weird, so I made a doll for my boyfriend and that looked weird too.
It's probably because the photo only accounts for the eye portion of the doll. The nose and mouth is already built in, so any photo I chose ended up looking off-balanced and awkward. Then again, I'm putting my face on a giant doll that sings. I shouldn't be so picky.
The app will be available on iTunes for the iPhone an iPod touch next weekend.
Try the app now and see how your doll turns out. Who said shopping had to be boring?

International Conference on Sustainable Employability
Brussels, 14-16 September 2016 - Square Brussels Meeting Centre
People have to work increasingly longer because of economic and demographic changes. This reality has led several countries to raise the retirement age. Yet, a policy of letting people work longer can only work if their employability is maintained sustainable throughout their entire career. Organizations will thus inevitably have to deal with the challenge of maintaining their people's employability over time. Human Resources and Occupational Health must be the primary drivers of this sustainable employability. It is therefore important that both fields interact with each other as well as with their respective academic communities.
Bringing science and practical know-how of both areas together should facilitate the translation of scientific knowledge into practice and the transfer of the needs of the practitioners to the scientific community.
Presentation by Hanne Decoutere
Building bridges between science and practice.
The conference aims to bring together scientists and professionals of all disciplines involved in sustainable employability by offering a platform to exchange scientific knowledge and practical know-how.
Both academics and professionals are encouraged to submit an abstract and to present their work (scientific or practical case studies) to each other, in order to enhance mutual communication.
Who should attend?
Everybody involved in sustainable employability: scientists and researchers in the fields of Occupational Health & Safety and Human Resource Management, company leaders, HR professionals (HR directors, HR managers, HR business partners, HR consultants), Occupational Health & Safety professionals (occupational physicians, occupational psychologists, occupational health and safety services), governmental institutions, employer organizations and trade unions.
We would like to spark debate. Academics are encouraged to present their work in a comprehensible manner and professionals are encouraged to express their expectations towards the academic world.

Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer has reported that former Bengal radio play-by-play announcer, Brad Johanson, will remain in that role for Bengal preseason television games. Johanson will team with Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz for the games which air on WKRC-TV.
The Bengals opted not to renew Johanson following this season and named Dan Hoard, the former sports director at WXIX and voice of the Cincinnati Bearcats as their play-by-play man opposite Dave Lapham. It was a curious move for the organization know for its loyalty. Bengals corporate sales, marketing and broadcasting director, Vince Cicero stated that Hoard's status as a "freelance journalist" allows him to spend more time cultivating the social media outreach for the franchise. It is believed that Johanson, sports director for Channel 12, was tied down too much with that position to put in the time necessary outside the booth.

As the Democratic Republic of Congo's fledgling democracy prepares for its second-ever set of presidential elections this November, an attempted assassination -- or possibly coup -- has brought instability to the capital city and heightened concerns about the fragility of the state and of its leader's grasp on power. Though the attack failed, it has raised questions about how long President Joseph Kabila can hang on.

Chip Bag Shrinkies
Chip Bag Shrinkies
Shrink your chip bags to less than half their size, then use them as a bookmark or keychain. Polymer chemistry fun!
Suitable for kids aged 10+ with parental supervision CAUTION This activity strictly requires supervision by an adult. It involves the use of a hot oven and handling hot plastic. Ensure that the room is well ventilated, so all fumes given off by the heated plastic chip bag dissipate as quickly as possible.
You Need:
What to do:
Why is it so?
The shiny chip bags are made with a piece of aluminium foil sandwiched between two plastic films - the aluminium prevents air entering the packet and keeps the chips fresher for longer. The plastic in the chip packet is made up of long polymer molecules that have been stretched so they are almost straight. When the plastic is heated in the oven, the molecules that make up the plastic are energized so they start to vibrate faster, wriggle and writhe. The molecules end up wiggly, making the plastic film thicker and shorter. And thus your chip packet shrinkie. Have an adult drill a hole in the corner to make it into a funky key chain.

A diamond in the rough
You can't help but be moved by Kolkata.
Photo: Richard I'Anson/Lonely Planet Im
Tom Cockrem finds the true merry muddle of India in Kolkata.
MY FIRST two trips to India were a bit too sanitised - maharaja palaces, tranquil backwaters, hill stations and the like. "Gee, India's not like India much at all," I thought. It was time to take the plunge. Kolkata it would be. I would embrace it all first hand: the great swill of humanity, the medieval backwardness, the legendary grunge; and the fervour of the common folk as well, who manage on a breadcrumb to survive and sometimes even thrive.
Kolkata (formally known as Calcutta), in no way let me down. The West Bengal capital is indeed the real thing. It's where "sanitised" is something you can simply never be.
This is the only place in India where rickshaws are still pulled. When the monsoon rains arrive, it's the man-powered conveyance that the locals need to get them through the floods. Improve the city's drainage? Why bother when there are rickshaws you can use? (Though they are now in the process of being withdrawn.) Procure new sleek, air-conditioned trams? Why bother when these 50-year-old buckets do the job? Install traffic lights at busy intersections? Why bother when you'll get through anyway - one day - with maybe just one extra scrape to further customise your car - I mean your "Hindustan Ambassador". These Morris Oxford look-alikes were designed in 1957 and are still being manufactured in India today. Every taxi's an Ambassador, as is almost every private car. You wouldn't want to look like a show-off in a Nissan or a Ford.
Travellers in Kolkata likewise have ambitions to survive. That's why most stay in Sudder Street. It's got some pretty neat hotels (as well as some that aren't) and air-conditioned restaurants and bars, which do some mean cuisine. Here you can find muesli for breakfast or a decent ham and eggs with toast, and fruit shakes you'd die for in the heat - or maybe die without.
Sudder is in the heart of old Kolkata, just off Chowringhee Road, and only walking distance from any recommended walking tour. Park Street is also nearby. This is the city's only upscale shopping strip, where there's even a swish new coffee shop.
In Sudder Street you get to meet the other Kata-freaks, maybe at an internet cafe.
The wow-moments come thick and fast in Kolkata, such as when you befriend the local folk along the strip, the ever gracious ladies in their saris and the worldly-wise urchins who bring Kipling's Kim to mind. They bed down here at night, and chirp merrily all day, extracting rupees from the tourists, jibing, jesting, somehow reassuring you it's really not so bad. And your 10 rupees, after all, is giving them a feed, which they might otherwise not get.
It is history that has made Kolkata poor. This once proud capital of the British Indian Empire lost most of its status in 1911, just over 200 years after it was "founded". Yes, Kolkata was invented by the British. Before their arrival, it was just a rural village - three villages, in fact, one called Kalikata. The colonists subdued the Nawab of Murshidabad and proceeded to make fortunes for the empire and themselves (by "shaking the pagoda tree"). When local rumblings threatened to spill over into revolt, the good old Brits pulled out and moved their capital to Delhi. Kolkata was politically abandoned and has remained so ever since.
The city is now left with a legacy of grandeur from the past. The old buildings are fastidiously maintained. The standout is the High Court, with its striking Indo-Gothic brick facade. The Tuscan-style portico of the stately Government House peeps out from behind a screen of trees. The imposing Writers' Building is one of many multi-storeyed office blocks that have portentous ornamental brick facades.
Abutting the colonial precinct to the south is the Maidan, a public park of more than five square kilometres. It serves as a recreational reserve, a military training ground and a pasture for herders to graze their goats. Within it stands Fort William. Built in 1758, it still serves as the headquarters of the army.
Across from the Maidan is the pride of British India - the Victoria Memorial. It's a palatial marble structure built in Renaissance style with just a touch of Mogul. Those who planned and built it set out to rival the Taj Mahal and succeeded. The museum that it houses is at once a glowing tribute to the Raj and a frank expose{aac} of its excesses.
Cavernous St Paul's Cathedral (completed in 1847) is close by. Built in the Indo-Gothic style, it serves as the headquarters of the Church of North India. About 70 years its senior is sober old St John's, which was modelled on London's St Martin-in-the-Fields.
The hub of "white" Kolkata in the days of the Empire was the area around Park Street and Chowringhee. These streets sought to control the city's wealth totally, and they almost did. However, the so-called "black" town managed to extract a share as well. Its centre was Chitpur Road, which runs north away from the centre of the city. Chinatown was here (its remnants still are), as well as an array of princely palaces and the city's grandest mosque, the Nakhoda. The street today succeeds in looking even more antiquated than elsewhere. You half expect an ox wagon to draw up beside the rickshaws and the old decrepit tram.
Old Kolkata straddles the east bank of the Hooghly River, a distributary of the Ganges. As nastily polluted as it is, the river still serves the mandatory bathing ghats - the steps that lead down to the river on which different, sometimes ceremonial bathing and washing rituals are carried out. If you join the locals in a dip, you will need a rinse-off after you bathe. The oldest of these is the Babu ghat. At its entrance stand an array of clay and straw effigies of the Hindu goddess Kali. These await the Durga Festival, when they will be ceremoniously dunked.
Two important temples are dedicated to Kali, this not so comely consort of Shiva. In the northern district of Kumartuli stands the Dakshineswar Kali Temple, which is topped by nine turrets, in the true Bengali style. But the city's Hindu epicentre is south in Kalighat. The Kali temple here is the scene of extravagant displays of devotional fervour and is attended by a multitude of beggars, street kids, flower garland hawkers, sweetmeat vendors and sadhu holy men. I watch a shiny new four-wheel-drive glide among them. The opulent occupants are immediately surrounded by the deferential throng, who they studiously ignore. It's a scene that is India writ large.
You can't help but be moved by Kolkata. You also come to love it. It's a city unabashed about revealing its true nature and its soul. Its energy and chaos excite all of your senses all at once and compel you to join in the merry muddle and the chase. And the Kolkatans love visitors to join in - jibing, jesting and distributing some of their rupees as they do.

Price uncertainty over Westfield restructure
The new
The new
It will be independent in a way that
There will be connections. The Lowys will have a $600 million stake and
But the way is clear for a Lowy exit.
They have long wanted to sell Australian assets. Under this proposal they make the big break, certainly big for Frank Lowy, in selling the management as well.
In that way they have recognised, as has the Commonwealth Bank, that the days of the externally managed, listed Real Estate Investment Trust are over.
At the same time Westfield Corporation, with its focus on the development of icon malls in global cities, is far closer to the Lowy interest.
More like Westfield Holdings of old
It is more like the Westfield Holdings of old, with 35 per cent of its assets in development.
And the new Westfield Corporation, denominated in US dollars, opens up opportunities for a better comparison with Westfield's global peers, for dual listings, and ultimately for additional raisings in a world where Australian property capital is no longer as powerful as it used to be.
Questions will be raised about splitting the Westfield culture. The group used to make much of the way lessons learnt in Sydney could be transferred to London and back again.
Co-chief executive,
The transfer of knowledge and executives is "less of an issue," he said.
The real issue about this deal is the cost to the security holders in Westfield Retail.
Nowhere in the presentation was asset backing mentioned. Which is the way REITs operate in the US.
The answer's in the debt
For both groups, the deal is accretive to earnings, at least for a pro-forma 2014 year.
If that seems a bit hard to understand, the answer is in the debt.
The gearing in Scentre jumps from 21.5 per cent to 38.2 per cent.
With the current low rates that should make a huge difference to earnings.
Surprisingly, it does not make as much difference as it should. The answer lies in a pro forma balance sheet at the back of the presentation.
For Westfield Retail, the current net tangible asset backing per security is $3.47. For Scentre Group it will be $2.81.
In essence, Westfield Retail security holders have dropped near $1.7 billion in net asset backing.
Part is in the cost of the deal, estimated all up at $150 million.
Part is in the 28.5¢ unit cash back.
But most is in the purchase of management fees, which are not recognised as net tangible assets, but, in the Westfield case, are pretty real.
Peter Lowy declined to be drawn on the cost of management fees.
But the way the two stocks traded on Wednesday indicates that investors understand the point.

The Proclaimers Biography
This Scottish duo, who specialize in melodic folk pop, comprises identical twins Craig and Charlie Reid (5 March 1962, Leith, Scotland) The brothers spent their childhood in Edinburgh, Cornwall and Auchtermuchty in Fife, and formed the Proclaimers in 1983. They had an early UK hit in 1987 with the Gerry Rafferty -produced Letter From America, whose belligerent harmonies offered a strikingly modern take on traditional folk music. Follow-ups included the typically boisterous Make My Heart Fly and Im Gonna Be (500 Miles). Pete Wingfield was brought in to produce Sunshine On Leith, after which the duo took a two-year sabbatical. Writing for the third album was disrupted, however, when they spent much energy and money ensuring that their beloved, debt-ridden Hibernian Football Club did not close down. In common with many fans, they are now shareholders.
The Reids reappeared in 1990 with the King Of The Road EP. The title track, a cover version of the old Roger Miller song, came from the movie The Crossing. Other tracks on the EP, which reached the UK Top 10, included the folk/country classic The Long Black Veil. On the back of the unexpected success of Im Gonna Be (500 Miles), which reached the US Top 5 in 1993 after featuring prominently in the Johnny Depp movie Benny & Joon, their comeback album Hit The Highway enjoyed commercial success in America.
Following their mid-90s success the duo once again disappeared from the publics immediate view, although it later emerged they were looking after their critically ill father. Seven years were to pass before their next album (2001s Persevere) was released. The album was released in Europe on the brothers recently formed label, Persevere Records. The Proclaimers have continued to release high quality albums through Persevere and remain a popular touring act. In March 2007, they returned to the top of the UK charts with a charity re-recording of Im Gonna Be (500 Miles) featuring comedians Peter Kay and Matt Lucas.

Blue through the window burns the twilight;
Heavy, through trees, blows the warm south wind.
Glistening, against the chill, gray sky light,
Wet, black branches are barred and entwined.
Sodden and spongy, the scarce-green grass plot
Dents into pools where a foot has been.
Puddles lie spilt in the road a mass, not
Of water, but steel, with its cold, hard sheen.
Faint fades the fire on the hearth, its embers
Scattering wide at a stronger gust.
Above, the old weathercock groans, but remembers
Creaking, to turn, in its centuried rust.
Dying, forlorn, in dreary sorrow,
Wrapping the mists round her withering form,
Day sinks down; and in darkness to-morrow
Travails to birth in the womb of the storm.

patch the driver
Hello everyone.
Recently I became interested in wireless security. Having read a lot about wireless cards to test my router's security, I purchased through eBay an Alfa Networks 500mw AWUS036H USB dongle with the rtl8187 chipset, plus a 9dbi antenna.
However, using the Backtrack 3 or Backtrack 4 beta live CD/DVD, I found out that my Alfa couldn't inject my own router (or any other, for that matter)
These are the steps I took:
airmon-ng stop wlan1
airmon-ng start wlan1Code:Interface Chipset Driver wlan1 RTL8187 rtl8187 - [phy0] (monitor mode disabled)
iwconfigCode:Interface Chipset Driver wlan1 RTL8187 rtl8187 - [phy0] (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

Is there anything I am doing wrong? Could it be the driver's fault, that it can't inject? (I am pretty sure that backtrack has the correct driver for RTL8187 chipset)
Since the pretty powerful Alfa could detect so many APs, I doubt that the problem is distance, at least one should be in the correct distance (and my router is 3 meters from the Alfa).
I appreciate any of your help (and please excuse any language mistakes, english isn't my native tongue)
p.s. I have also tried going further into cracking my own router, using aireplay -1 and aireplay -3 commands, but since nothing is injected in the test, those failed miserably too...
patch the driver
I feel so stupid. No1 noob rule: if you don't know squat about something, DON'T guess (I guessed Backtrack's driver would already be patched).
Since I run Backtrack from a Live DVD (and to avoid repatching at every reboot), you think it would be better to patch the ubuntu driver, or run Backtrack through VMware?
Also, the backtrack driver is ieee80211 or mac80211?
ieee80211 is a header file it is not a driver.
I think you need to focus on mode switching rather than patching.
mac80211 is used to compile soft mac drivers or code. I do not think you need to be concerned with it from the style of your post.
If I am wrong and your subsequent question is very specific I will help further.
Lux sit
man ifconfig
man iwconfig
iwconfig iface mode monitor
Lux sit
It was my undestanding that "iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor" and "airmon-ng start wlan1" had the exact same effect, putting the network interface in monitor mode.
(with the difference that the iwconfig command would put wlan1 in monitor mode, whereas the airmon-ng would create a mon0 interface which would operate in monitor mode)
Anyway, I tried "iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor", but "aireplay-ng -9 wlan1" still produced a perfect zero.
I hope patching the drivers will do the trick for me.
Well, I did the following:
-blacklisted the mac80211 driver I already had installed
-downloaded h++p://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/rtl8187_linux_26.1010.zip drivers,
-patched them with h++p://patches.aircrack-ng.org/rtl8187_2.6.27.patch
-make, make install, reboot
-the driver is installed correctly, the wireless is working
-iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
-aireplay-ng -9 wlan1
And nothing. Zilch, nada.
In the end, the injection test still produces a perfect zero.
I 'm becoming pretty desperate... What the heck am I doing wrong?
Sorry to say, but mine just came in post and is working straight out the box with bt4 liveCD so it does work, maybe its our systems/confingerations?
Well ive gotten as far as -
airmon-ng start wlan1 ( as this is my wifi adpter i want to use )
then gives me a monitor interface called mon0
aireplay-ng -9 mon0
says injection working .
off to work now so will let you know if it cracks my wep later when back from work
Well i thought i posted this morning but obviously not.
I'm running
advent 8112 lappy
dual duo cpu
intel 965gm chipset
monitor and injection work from the box for me with bt4 beta, just done my own wep so def confirmed as working.
Hope you sort it.
Apparently, my stupid Alfa was busted, right out of the box. It can't even connect normaly to my router, let alone inject anything.
I hope I sort it out with the warranty, to get at last a working Alfa and stop being so frustrated.
In my point of view the driver that BT4 uses with this chipset is not good. Is very difficult to inject (the ap has to be at max 3m away) and has bad power to capture aps....
so i blacklisted the rtl8187 and installed the old driver and the performance increased dramatically.
And BT4b is working nicely with the old ieee80211 driver. Cant inject and crack everything.
Note: the only problem has you know is that this driver doesn't support wpa. So to connect wpa you has to change temporarily the driver to ndiswrapper.

Lady Flames' Winning Streak Reaches Five
Game Highlights (Video File)
Liberty closed the first half with a 15-0 run, Tuesday evening at the Vines Center, propelling the Lady Flames to a 64-54 victory over East Tennessee State. Four Lady Flames reached double figures and Liberty tied a season-high with 17 steals, contributing to the Lady Flames' fifth consecutive victory.
Liberty bumped its record above the .500 mark for the first time this season, as Megan Frazee's third double-double of the year helped the Lady Flames improve to 8-7. Meanwhile, Amber Mays spearheaded Liberty's defensive effort with a career-high eight steals, the most by a Lady Flame since Sharon Wilkerson's eight-steal effort versus High Point on Feb. 21, 2000. Mays' steal total ties for the fifth highest in program history.
Meanwhile, the Lady Flames derailed East Tennessee State's four-game winning streak, leveling the Lady Buccaneers' ledger at 7-7. ETSU was limited to 33.3 percent (21-of-63) field goal shooting in its final game of a three-game road swing.
Liberty scored on its opening possession of the evening, when Avery Warley nailed a shot from the paint. However, the Lady Flames did not score again until Megan Frazee's layup, 4:45 later.
In the meantime, blue-clad East Tennessee State reeled off nine consecutive points. Back-to-back layups by Latisha Belcher finished off the run, putting the Lady Buccaneers in front by a 9-2 margin at the 14:32 mark.
Liberty responded with a 9-0 surge of its own, ending with Rachel Hammond's mid-range jumper at 10:06, which reclaimed the lead for the Lady Flames, 11-9.
The Lady Flames' advantage reached four points, 16-12, when Moriah Frazee canned a three-pointer, 8:16 before the intermission.
The game continued to swing back and forth, as an ensuing 12-4 surge by the visitors resulted in a 24-20 East Tennessee State lead. TaRonda Wiles tossed in the last five points of the Lady Buccaneers' extended run, including a triple from the corner at 5:01.
Those would be East Tennessee State's final points of the opening stanza, however, as Liberty closed the half on a 15-0 run. Five Liberty steals keyed the surge, which was highlighted by Mays' four points and two thefts. The Lady Flames owned a 35-24 halftime advantage, after Rachel McLeod closed the half's scoring with a layup at the 25-second mark.
For the half, the Lady Flames recorded eight steals and outrebounded the Lady Buccaneers by a wide, 25-15 margin. Liberty's hot shooting during the half's closing stages also pulled the team's field goal percentage up to 46.9 percent (15-of-32).
Megan Frazee paced the Liberty first-half attack, with team-high figures in both points (8) and rebounds (8), to go along with a trio of assists. Warley chipped in with seven points and five boards.
For ETSU, Wiles, returning to her home state of Virginia, led all players with nine first-half makers. Gwen Washington, also a Commonwealth native, added six boards.
A pair of triples early in the second half enabled East Tennessee State to trim its deficit to seven points, 37-30, with 16:27 remaining.
Liberty's lead fluctuated between six and 10 points until Tara Davis hit two free throws at the 10:30 mark, bringing her team to within 46-41.
The Lady Flames quickly responded with their second 9-0 burst of the evening, initiated by a three-pointer and putback by Megan Frazee. Mays later converted her eighth steal into a fast break layup at 8:21, capping the run with Liberty leading, 55-41.
Liberty's lead remained in double figures for the remainder of the contest, as the Lady Flames closed out their third straight win in their head-to-head series against the defending Atlantic Sun Conference titlists, 64-54.
The Lady Flames finished the contest with a 47.3 percent (26-of-55) mark from the field, representing their highest field goal percentage against a Division I opponent all season.
Leading the charge was Warley, who connected on all seven of her field goal tries for the home team, as part of a 15-point, eight-rebound evening. Warley, who leads the Big South in both field goal percentage and rebounds, was just one made field goal shy of the best-ever single-game shooting performance at the Vines Center. Last season, Moriah Frazee shot eight-for-eight in a Nov. 30, 2007 win over Virginia Union.
Megan Frazee's double-double consisted of 16 points and a season-high 13 boards, as the senior helped Liberty record a 45-31 edge on the glass. Frazee also distributed a season-best four assists and came up with two steals.
Mays was also active on the offensive end, tallying 10 points and a game-high five assists. Moriah Frazee was Liberty's fourth and final double-digit scorer, posting 10 points and seven caroms. Frazee is now just 19 points shy of becoming the 12th 1,000-point scorer in program history.
McLeod added a season-high seven points and two steals off coach Carey Green's bench.
Three players scored in double figures for the visitors, led by Wiles' 18 points and four steals. Belcher recorded 14 points, while Washington crafted a double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds).
The Lady Flames will now take to the road for a two-game Big South Conference road swing, beginning with a Saturday trip to Clinton, S.C., where Liberty will face the Presbyterian Blue Hose (2-11, 0-2 Big South). Tip-off for the Lady Flames' first-ever contest at Templeton Arena is scheduled for 5 p.m.

In a Friday afternoon Newsweek web exclusive, reporter Johnnie Roberts talked to CBS insiders about Dan Rather's lawsuit against his long-time employer. Don Hewitt, the founder and long-lasting executive producer of 60 Minutes, told the magazine he asked Rather the big bias question: "If this had been John Kerry, wouldn't you have been more careful about the story?" It's certainly true that 60 Minutes went easy on Kerry on 2004, with a soft-soap Ed Bradley interview in January, and a syrupy and supportive Lesley Stahl interview in July.
Another anonymous CBS insider says Rather looks "pathetic...the musing of an older man who can't let go." Roberts reported that while the network wouldn't comment beyond saying it was old news, others were more forthcoming:
Take, for example, Don Hewitt, the legendary producer of "60 Minutes." "Any news organization, print or broadcast, has the right to protect its reputation by divesting itself of a reporter, irrespective of who he or she is, who it feels reported as fact something that reflected his or her biases more than the facts bear," he said in a NEWSWEEK interview. "And if the reporter's defense is that he or she had been 'had,' isn't he or she someone a news organization worth its salt can no longer trust not to be 'had' again."
Hewitt says he had questioned whether the reporting was biased at a CBS meeting convened to discuss the controversy that began to swell after the story aired. "Let me ask one question," he recalls addressing the gathering. "If this had been John Kerry, wouldn't you have been more careful about the story?" A senior CBS News insider said Rather is further damaging his reputation by suing. "I think it looks pathetic," this executive told NEWSWEEK on condition of not being identified. "It looks like the musing of an older man who can't let go. This will have no winners. But the biggest loser will be Dan."
And another former colleague questioned Rather's motives, declaring that the former anchor is seeking to raise his profile in his post-CBS career at HDNet, a cable channel controlled by billionaire Mark Cuban. "Had he been a big success in his new life" at HDNet, this person speculated, "I don't believe this would have happened. How do I get myself back into the news? Sue CBS, of course. All of a sudden, people are now talking about Dan Rather again."
Here's how I summarized the two Kerry interviews in 2004, not tough investigative pieces, but clearly favorable publicity exercises:
January 25. In a soft Kerry interview, Ed Bradley touted Kerry's medals and brushed over Kerry's wild and unsubstantiated 1971 Senate testimony by noting: "It's still emotional after all these years. Vietnam is something that just doesn't leave you." Kerry said: "It's young people dying young for the wrong reasons, because leaders don't do the things that they should do to protect them." Bradley replied: "Do you see a parallel with Iraq?"
July 11. Interviewing the Democratic ticket and their wives, CBS's Lesley Stahl giggled about how well everyone was getting along: "How do you think the honeymoon is going?" Stahl asked Kerry about Edwards: "You're looser. Do you think that his energy is rubbing off on you?"
