Sept. 5, 2003
Towson, Md. - Kevin Nash loves overtime. For the second straight game, his golden goal lifts Loyola to victory -this time a 2-1 victory over Navy on Friday afternoon at the Battle of Baltimore Classic.
Less than three minutes into the extra period, senior Jay Joyce led Nash with a beautiful pass off a Greyhound breakaway. Nash controlled and put the game away with his second game-winning goal of the season.
"This one feels better than the first one," says Nash. "This is an important tournament for us. It's for bragging rights in Baltimore."
The Battle of Baltimore, a four-team tournament won by Loyola each of the last two years, opened with the Greyhounds scoring right out of the gate. Freshman Omar Alfonso scored his first collegiate goal only 4:41 into the contest.
"It feels great to contribute," says Alfonso. "I've put a lot of pressure on myself on the offensive end and it was a relief to finally get a goal."
Senior Steve Coleman found Alfonso all alone in front of the cage and the freshman did the rest, giving the Greyhounds an early 1-0 lead. Navy, however, battled back and with 9:15 showing on the first-half clock, Matt Sanchez scored off a Jamie Coyle cross from the left side.
A physical second half resulting in no goals forced overtime for the second time this young season. Nash, who scored Loyola's game-winning goal in the season opener last Saturday versus Syracuse, was right on cue.
"It came down to quality," says Loyola Head Coach Mark Mettrick. "A quality pass, a quality finish - that was the difference today."
Loyola improves to 2-0 on the year, Navy drops to 0-2. The Greyounds play in the Battle of Baltimore championship game this Sunday, September 7. The 'Hounds face UMBC at Towson at 4:30 p.m.

We got word a couple weeks ago about how Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is more focused on playing a big game rather than talking one this year. It looks like that has carried over into training camp.
Finley said Wednesday that he is quieter this year, but not by design -- "It just happened." He has put on 10 pounds, but said he has done so without losing any speed or athleticism. He also said he is trying to ignore all of the people on the outside who criticized him for his dropped passes and lack of production. Add it all up, and head coach Mike McCarthy says Finley is "in a very good place. I think he's having a heck of a camp."
Fantasy Analysis:
In a season where the tight end position has a bunch of questions after Jimmy Graham, a focused, healthy Finley has top-five upside in the Packers' offense. Feel free to take a chance on him in the eighth or ninth round of your draft, and see if you can turn a out a profit. Just don't complain if he burns you again.

Join us virtually and earn up to 10 hours of educational credit!
SRA will broadcast the following compliance and ethics sessions via Webinars on Monday, October 1, and Tuesday, October 2.
Monday, October 1
Compliance Issues in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
Google Calendar
Content Level: Intermediate
This session focuses on two compliance issues as they affect faculty in the Social Science and Humanities disciplines. Social Science research methodologies can be vastly different than bio-medical research. When research involves human subjects, the research administrator needs to be able to advise faculty correctly regarding protocol submission, informed consent, and other factors based upon the research methodologies they plan to use. The second compliance area is export controls. With the increased emphasis on international collaborations, faculty face export control concerns in the conduct of disseminating scholarship and mentoring and advising students. Research administrators should be able to spot potential concerns to promote a more proactive approach to their management.
Learning Objectives:
1. Explain to their faculty the differences between exempt, expedited and full IRB review and direct faculty to appropriate sources for assistance.
2. Recognize potential export control issues and suggest ways to modify activities to address the concern.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: Deborah Marshall, CRA, Executive Director for Research Administration, University of Pennsylvania
Regulatory Research for the Research Administration Professional
Google Calendar
Content Level: Basic
You can't be a research administration professional without reading various types of law. There are many ways to tackle any research problem. When a person is new to legal terms and the types of books and materials in a law library, the research process may seem almost too difficult. The law may even seem like a foreign language to you. This session is a mini-legal research class to show students how to evaluate legal research sources and use them effectively, with particular emphasis on cost-effective research.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify useful sources for legal research and understand the difference between primary versus secondary sources.
2. Review who produces legal authority and material is organized, published, indexed and kept current. Learn how OHRP/FDA determination letters can be used to solve issues.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: Rebecca Ballard, JD, Director, Office of Research Integrity, Children's Mercy Hospitals
Research Compliance Part 1
Google Calendar
Content Level: Basic-Intermediate
This is the first of two sessions that will provide an overview of compliance issues related to sponsored research. This session will focus on human subject research, the use and care of animals in research and responsible conduct of research education.
Learning Objecives:
1. Be able to identify compliance issues related to sponsored research.
2. Identify the applicable federal regulations and describe how these regulations apply to research compliance.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: Ann Mathias, JD, Assistant Vice President, Research Compliance, Carnegie Mellon University
Research Compliance Part 2
Google Calendar
Content Level: Basic-Intermediate
This is the second of two sessions that will provide an overview of compliance issues related to sponsored research. This session will focus on financial conflicts of interest, export controls and research misconduct.
Learning Objecives:
1. Be able to identify compliance issues related to sponsored research.
2. Identify the applicable federal regulations and describe how these regulations apply to research compliance.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: Ann Mathias, JD, Assistance Vice President, Research Compliance, Carnegie Mellon University
Tuesday, October 2
Optimizing Ethical Practice in Research Administration through Positive Leadership
Google Calendar
Content Level: Advanced
Research administrators promote a form of ethics bound by rules, regulations and audit, otherwise known as Ethical Formalism. The tendency evolved through government mandate and laws created in response to watershed events in ethical history, such as the ethically deplorable Tuskegee syphilis study. It was a societal necessity, and through the force of law, ethical formalism now provides the foundation for professional legitimacy for the research administrator. As research administrators, then, we find our choices are limited when it comes to leading positive change in the research environment and we are often viewed as the 'police' rather than helping advance the research endeavor. This session will identify ways research administrators can enhance their professional legitimacy not only through following the law, but also by analyzing the concept of moral agency and the virtuous organization and how these concepts contribute to advancing the research endeavor.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the weaknesses of ethical formalism in research administration and describe ways to enhance ethical practice from a professional and corporate perspective.
2. Describe the issues of moral agency and the virtuous organization by analyzing current research in positive organizational scholarship.
Prerequisites: An expert understanding of the Research Environment and the issues surrounding the Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR).
Speaker: Tim Atkinson, Assistant Provost, Sponsored Programs, University of Central Arkansas
A Hard Look at Research Misconduct
Google Calendar
Content Level: All Levels
This session will clearly define the concept of 'research misconduct', introduce the Office of Research Integrity (ORI), as well as other federal agencies. In a world of tenure, publishing practices, outside funding sources, cultural diversity and competition, this presentation will look at mentoring opportunities to foster an environment for the responsible conduct of research.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify 'research misconduct' as defined by the Office of Research Integrity.
2. Explore the tenants underlying academia and opportunities for mentoring on the responsible conduct of research.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: Maria Garner, Associate General Counsel, Vanderbilt University
Rebuilding a Research Ethics Committee
Google Calendar
Content Level: Intermediate
Ethics committees and boards have responded to changes in research management and this review of practice looks at the impact on an Australian committee. The principal ethics committee in Australia's capital, Canberra, has undergone major revision, based on changes debated in the literature. The consumption of paper is noted: prompt adoption of electronic documentation was successful. Timelines for ethical review differ but 60 days is common: tighter subcommittee timing has helped to reduce delays. Delegated review of low or minimal risk projects offers rapid handling and relieves main committees. Committee or Board structure varies widely, regulations determining minimum size and membership. Australian rules are the most rigorous. Critics write of growing bureaucracy, discrepancy in ethics decisions, and poor applications. Better communications have proved helpful. A national program to overcome problems of multisite research is underway in Australia; ethical review and research governance are separated though these proceed in parallel.
Learning Objectives:
1. List 4 principal causes of delay in ethical review.
2. Describe the main difficulties in ethical review of multisite research and identify solutions for each.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: John Biggs, Chairman, Australian Capital Territory Health Human Research Ethics Committee, Australia
Biological Specimens in Industry Sponsored Research
Google Calendar
Content Level: All Levels
The legal and regulatory requirements associated with the collection, storage and use of biological specimens are becoming increasingly complex. Compliance requires familiarity with the underlying legal and regulatory landscape associated with informed consent, federal and state privacy requirements, ownership of specimens and intellectual property issues, as they apply to biological specimens. This session will present an overview of current case law and regulations and trends/recent developments.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand differences between HHS and FDA Informed Consent requirements and their applicability to biological specimens.
2. Understand the issues surrounding 'ownership' of biological specimens under current case law and applicable legislation.
Prerequisites: None
Speaker: Rosemary Farr, JD, Counsel, Reed Smith LLP

Big names in smalls Down Under
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Bottom line: Department stores Myer and David Jones are keen to stock Agent Provocateur lingerie.
In the $1.5 billion battle of the boudoir, a racy British brand with a French name is vying for a place in the smalls drawers of Australian women.
The British couple behind Agent Provocateur, the raunchy label that has become a bedroom secret of celebrities such as Kate Moss and Nicole Kidman, used a visit to Melbourne Fashion Festival to scout potential in Australia for their daring lingerie and saucy sex aids.
Joe Corre, the son of fashion doyenne Vivienne Westwood and punk identity Malcolm McLaren, and his business partner wife Serena Rees, caught the eye of rival retailers Myer and David Jones, who have both shown interest in stocking the range of intimates.
Since the couple launched their first store in a red light district of London a decade ago, Agent Provocateur has been credited with turning on a new generation to racy knickers and stylised sex toys.
Speaking at a business seminar in Melbourne last week, Mr Corre said: "The average knicker drawer in the UK used to be very boring. It had maybe one little thing that was sexy, probably given to the woman on her hen night, and then it was basically white cotton underwear gone grey in the wash."
Today, he said, the battle for the boudoir dollar was booming. Australian women spent in excess of $1.5 billion on intimate apparel last year.
Myer made the most obvious move on Corre and Rees, placing the pair in the front row for their winter collection show last Tuesday night.
"[Agent Provocateur's] obviously one of the world's hottest labels right now and Myer would love to have it," said a Myer spy after the show. "Right now they don't wholesale, but if they did we'd be interested."
David Jones would not confirm any talks with Agent Provocateur over stocking the lingerie line, but may have a jump on any future dealings as they currently sell the brand's fragrance exclusively.

An Arnold man was ordered on Thursday to stand trial for allegedly raping a 17-year-old Pittsburgh girl after keeping her captive for hours last July.
It was the second time in five months that rape, kidnapping and other charges were held against Aaron M. McFadden, 21, along the 1300 block of Fourth Avenue in the same incident.
In September, after a preliminary hearing, those charges were held forcourt against the suspect.
But in January, a Westmoreland County Court judge ordered a new preliminary hearing because the audio recording of that hearing failed. The judge said the recording was necessary to preserve his rights at trial.
Therefore, on Thursday a second preliminary hearing was held in New Kensington.
Charges of rape, kidnapping and all but one of the other charges were again held for court.
However, this time, based on differing testimony, District Judge Frank J. Pallone Jr. dismissed a charge of aggravated assault with a weapon.
That's because on Thursday the victim said she couldn't remember being hit by a handgun, something she testified to last September.
The victim testified on Thursday that she left her phone charger in a room where she bumped into McFadden. She described him as her former boyfriend with whom she once had a sexual relationship.
The girl testified that McFadden closed the door to an upstairs bedroom and wouldn't allow her to leave despite her repeated requests to do so.
She testified that the two scuffled.
At one point McFadden "pulled a pistol" and she grabbed a hammer.
"I held the hammer and he held the gun. And then everything went black, and I was on the bed. My head hurt," she said.
She testified that she tried to fight off McFadden, but he tore off her clothes and raped her.
The victim testified he used her belt to punish her and choked with a plastic bag. McFadden ordered her to keep the incident quiet and threatened to shoot her and throw her body in an alley.
The incident lasted at least six hours, the victim testified, and ended only when the suspect was asleep at about 4 a.m. and she slipped away.
The girl said she had back abrasions, a bruised arm, split lip and blurred vision.
Officials said she was tested for sexual assault at Allegheny Valley Hospital, Harrison.Court-appointed defense attorney Valerie Veltri argued Thursday that the weapons charge should be dismissed.
Assistant District Attorney Judy Petrush countered that there was more than enough circumstantial evidence to hold that charge for court.
"She fights so hard to get out of that room" and is knocked down, she argued.
The victim "couldn't say that she saw the gun hitting his head, but she wakes up on the bed and her head hurts," Petrush said. "She wasn't hurting before she winds up on the bed."
Veltri disagreed. "I would think the victim would remember a gun coming up to hit her," she said.
Veltri also asked the girl if anyone heard the fighting. She said no.
Pallone dismissed the aggravated assault with a weapon charge. He held for court charges of forcible rape, kidnapping, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and criminal mischief.McFadden is scheduled to be formally arraigned in Westmoreland County Court in April. He is in the county jail without bond awaiting trial.

|This Phillips situation has been tough on everyone. It's now over.
In the end Bryan Murray does what he always does and caves to the hometown guy, giving him too much money. The more shocking part to me is that he was also given a full no movement clause (NMC). I can't believe he is going to put up with this same stiuation in 3 years again. Very frustrating.
Let's hope this means that he somehow has a buyer for Kuba.
Thoughts on the Phillips signing?
UPDATE @ 11:58pm - Nick Kypreos has info on the NMC Phillips recieved. Basically he has a limited NTC in the 3rd year, which means he probably gets to provide them with a list of 5 teams he will accept a trade to.

Are you a big-name executive capable of cultivating relationships and striking deals with the film and music industries? If you are, Facebook wants you, according to a report from Reuters. The social media titan wants to make media a major part of its offerings. It talked with former MySpace co-president and former MTV exec Jason Hirschhorn about a job heading the company's outreach to media companies, the report says, but a deal was not reached. Facebook has made some recent inroads with Hollywood: COO Sheryl Sandberg joined Disney's board of directors in 2009, and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings took a seat on Facebook's board in June. Jim Breyer of Accel Partners, Facebook's largest outside investor, last month was nominated to the News Corp board. He sits on the Legendary Pictures board and was a director at Marvel before Disney bought it. Facebook has also cut deals to offer films from Warner Bros and Universal for streaming. And it should have some money to throw at the new hire: Facebook will generate $4.2B in revenue this year, more than double the $2B it made in 2010, according to research firm EMarketer Inc.
Facebook: Help Wanted With Hollywood

Here is what I don't get. Why do they need a big time executive who is more likely than not going to be in it for themselves? Wouldn't it be more of the Facebook way to pluck and very junior executive, even a talent coordinator and let them run with it. Age and experience has never gotten in the way of Facebook, Mark Z. Had neither. So give the unknown with passion a shot. After all, everyone knows FB. If this new exec. Calls everyone will take to them because they are FB. Not because of who they were. Time to start thinking bigger FB or you'll end up like Myspace or Netflix. It can happen overnight.
Thank you.
FACEBOOK needs to focus on FIXING ALL OF ITS TECHNICAL PROBLEMS!!!
We have two media sites and our FANS/LIKES numbers have been dropping 10-30 per day only to rise again the next day and then drop again. This has been going on for over two months. It shows we have THOUSANDS of other FANS/LIKES that are not being posted on our page and over 70,000 page views.
What's the point of even having a FB page for any media project when they can't fix these issues??
And clearly there are A LOT MORE when you look at the complaints page.
Ah, I have such fond memories of the day I came back from lunch and found that our company's Facebook pages fans had up and left, all at once! This odd coincidence still mystifies me. Of course Facebook was no help in rounding up our lost strays, to the extent we could even get in touch with them.
If Facebook wants to enter the business software market, they are going to need a very different attitude. In the consumer market, when you're giving stuff away free to 14 year olds, you can get away with being unreliable, offering no tech support or client services. But if they want to become an adjunct to the branding/marketing departments of major corporations, in Hollywood or elsewhere, amateur hour is no longer going to work.
Exactly!!!!!!!!! We lost over 2 thousand fans in this slow dribble over about three months and not one time did we ever get a reply from FB about our reports of a bug or hacking or whatever is the problem. Nothing. Zilch. Only our weekly "status report" which is laughable.
We were out promoting our FB page all over the place and we know we had many more fans that just never got posted so we stopped promoting the page for our film. We'll never see any of those fans posted I'm sure. A HUGE waste of time when people want to know why our fan numbers keep dropping.
Like GoMo said above: WHAT IS THE POINT? FB SUCKS!
They have ZERO customer support and ZERO access and they are quickly getting a reputation for these failures from everyone I speak to that's had similar problems.
yep, us too. we received over 10,000 fans in a week after heavy promotion and then the numbers just stopped increasing for no reason. two days later we went online and we had lost 500 fans just like that. then a 1,000 and now we can't get any increases at all. yes we understand this is free to use but it has not been free to promote FB as our lead info site.
here is a suggestion:
take ONE billion of that profit and fix these issues or else you are going to lose all credibility. you've already lost ours!
Last week Mike Elgan (tech journo) compared FB to Yahoo.
I thought it was funny, didn't take it all that seriously.
Tonight I'm wondering if Elgan's thinking isn't too far off.
FB's new layout changes are a mess.
Rumors are flying that new buttons and news services will be announced on Thursday.
I'm not sure this is what people want from their FB experience.
I never really saw G+ as an imminent threat to FB until tonight.
Way to go, Z-man!
I agree. They literally ruined Facebook tonight for no reason at all. Everyone loved News Feed, and now suddenly, in a flash, everyone hates it. I guess Zuckerberg took advice from his Netflix board member on how to lose millions of customers overnight. I'm actually glad, though, because I'd been looking for an exit to quit wasting time on FB and now they've made it easy: I just don't like it anymore. Overnight! Thanks Z!
Not with that new re-design update that occurred tonight. Yuck.
Awful, hate the new layout.
Say, how about some of the hotshots that ran MGM into the ground? Or any of the execs that turns-tiled in and out of MTV Networks over the years? You know, the one's that really "know what the kids want"?
I'm guessing only on FB content with some kind of user input. Meh
haven't we heard this exact same story before?
Yahoo, 2001.
AOL again, 2003.
Myspace, 2006.
AOL again, 2009.
Over and over again, "we're going to create content, we're going to use talent from Hollywood"…
Which always leads nowhere.
yeah, but now they are doing a lot of nervous intruding, no?
This Hirschorn guy just drove Myspace into the ground. Why would FB hire a complete failure to head up its media outreach? Whatever. FB is a useless time suck.

Considering the popularity of my last post on restaurant meals you can make at home for half price, and that most of us have a 10 pounds of leftover turkey sitting in the frig, I thought posting a few of my favorite frugal and tasty leftover turkey recipes would make for some great day after Thanksgiving menu ideas.
Plus, if you successfully fought through the Black Friday crowds and came away with your discounted booty without being upsold, any one of these quick and easy dishes might be exactly what you're looking for.
What's better on a cold winter day that a hot bowl of steaming chili? (Okay, bourbon might be better but that's another post.)
I love any excuse to make a good, hearty, meaty chili, but this recipe from Foodwishes.com is a bit different than traditional chili since it calls for chicken breasts (white meat) as well as Great Northern beans (any white beans should do). The non-traditional colors in this chili dish gives it a unique visual appeal, so if you've got a few finicky eaters in the house, this chili looks a little more appetizing than your normal ground beef and kidney beans chili.
Mmm… Parmesan cheese! Nom nom nom.
If you're a cheese lover and looking to break up the monotony of turkey and mashed potatoes leftover classics (Thanksgiving dinners can turn into a snooze fest), then Turkey Tetrazinni is right up your alley.
It's quick, it's easy, and it's a restaurant style meal anyone can make for pennies on the dollar since you already have lots of leftover turkey. Most family kitchens have dried pasta and milk as everyday staples, so all you'll need is a small block of Parmesan cheese.
Good chicken salad recipes are tough to find since the recipes can vary by region, but being a southerner, I have to say Paula Deen's recipe is among my favorites. I've made this basic dish several times, and it's a great way to put excess chicken or turkey to good use.
In my opinion, this is probably the best way to put a spin on a leftover turkey sandwich. Plus, it's great finger food if you're having guests over during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Probably one of the least likely recipes that you would consider making with your leftover turkey (unless your family hails from India), but that just makes it even more delicious.
It's another classic, and healthy, minimalist dish from Mark Bittman with few distractions from the basic curry flavors. Probably takes about 15 minutes to make, and might require a trip to the market to pick up some relatively uncommon ingredients in the American kitchen (coconut milk, ginger, etc.), but I'm sure it's worth the extra effort.
Plus, it beats paying $10 to $20 per person at the restaurant.
Maybe I'm spoiled, but I like to take the extra effort an enchilada requires versus the standard burrito or wrap. I just think the sauce makes the tortilla taste better, and the cheese yields a better flavor.
You will notice in the video that Chef John uses a rotisserie roasted chicken in this recipe, but since you recently spent several hours roasting a turkey, it works equally as well in my humble opinion.
If you prefer the white meat over dark meat, or have family members who refuse to eat dark meat because it's fatty, this is the perfect recipe to sneak it into their food without them knowing about it. More than likely, they'll gobble this stuff down proclaiming how awesome you are in the kitchen. Then, later that evening, you can hit them with the truth. Try not to smirk as they try to wiggle out of the "I hate dark meat" argument.
What about you?
Got a favorite recipe to dispose of all your leftover turkey without throwing it in the trash? Feel free to add it below? Or if you try any of these recipes, or plan on adding one of them to your menu, be sure to drop a comment below. Always love to hear from readers or Google'rs who go recipe fishing for new dishes.
Hay, Trying to view this website on an iphone and am having hassles. I can't get the menu to load correctly. Just thought you should know, Cheers!
Thanks, I'll look into it.

Top 5 Hot Celebrity Chicks With Ex-Dedicated Tattoos
These ladies didn't think before getting inked.
We've all heard of that famous saying, "If you get a tattoo having to do with a lover, you have officially jinxed the relationship and you break up". Apparently these famous hot chicks didn't get the memo … and if they did, they ignored it and threw it away.
Here are my Top 5 Hot Celebrity Chicks with Tattoos dedicated to their exs.
We all know the gorgeous Denise Richards was married to crazy-boy Charlie Sheen. Once they got married they got each others names tattooed. Charlie got 'Denise' on his wrist as she got 'Charlie' on her ankle. Once divorced, he got her name completely removed as she turned hers into a fairy.
Once married to Motley Crues Tommy Lee, Pamela got his first name tattooed on her finger (talk about never forgetting the ring anywhere) instead of wearing a ring. After their divorce, she replaced his name 'Tommy' to 'Mommy' … kinda weird, its like saying you're married to your mom.
Jolie, known for her love of tattoos, while being with Billy Bob Thorton, got his name tatted to her arm right above her famous dragon tattoo. Later on having it removed and now has the birthplace coordinates of her kids.
You would think since being a tattoo artist herself, she would know better. But we're talking about Kat. Her infamous relationship turned engagement to Jesse James got her a bit inspired and got his childhood portrait tattooed on her side (which she is now getting removed … ouch!).
There's a good reason why she is my number one. While married to baseball star, David Justice, Berry got his name tatted on her butt cheek. Regreting ever getting the tattoo, once they separated she had a sunflower tattooed over it. (Funny choice of replacement … because the sun don't shine there).
As love might not last forever … tattoos do.

Once-yearly brittle bone treatment
Post-menopausal women with the disease osteoporosis may be able to reduce the risk of breaking bones by taking a once-a-year treatment.
Research suggests that a once-yearly intravenous infusion with a drug called zoledronic acid is effective in increasing spine and hip bone mineral density.
Like zoledronic acid these drugs belong to a class called the bisphosphonates - but they are taken in pill, rather than drip form.
Professor David Reid, an expert in rheumatology from Aberdeen University, said: "A quick and convenient once-yearly treatment for osteoporosis is an exciting prospect for doctors and patients alike.
"Oral bisphosphonates are effective in treating osteoporosis, but must be taken daily or weekly, are known to cause gastrointestinal side effects and are often associated with compliance problems."
Weakened bones
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the normal honeycomb structure of the bone is progressively weakened, leaving it fragile and vulnerable to fractures, most commonly of the wrist, spine and hip.
In the UK, one of three women over 50 suffer from this condition, which costs the NHS and government over �1.7bn each year.
Researchers tested zolendronic acid on 351 women at 25 centres in 19 countries.
They found that the treatment was effective, safe and well-tolerated.
Trevor Reid, of the National Osteoporosis Society, said: "Over three million people in the UK suffer from osteoporosis, and this figure is set to rise as more people live longer.
"Treating osteoporosis with a once-yearly infusion is an interesting concept which needs further investigation."
Zoledronic acid is manufactured by the pharmaceutical firm Novartis.
The research is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Courtney Love hit with lawsuit by former assistant
Courtney Love
Courtney Love's in trouble over allegations she asked her former assistant to perform unethical tasks including counterfeiting legal documents and hiring a computer hacker.
Jessica Labrie has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages after accusing the 48-year-old of intentionally neglecting to pay her because she refused to "commit fraudulent, unlawful and unethical acts."
Claiming she typically worked more than 60 hours a week for the star from June 2010 to July 2011, Jessica alleges she had no choice but to quit when she realised she wasn't going to get paid by the Hole frontwoman.
Jessica is suing Courtney for wrongful termination, wage and breach of contract.
Her suit reportedly doesn't specify what documents she was asked to alter or the reasons behind Courtney's request for a hacker.
Courtney is no stranger to court, having publicly battled for the rights over her late husband Kurt Cobain's Nirvana catalogue, and in early 2012 she ran into trouble with a former landlord who filed an eviction lawsuit.
It's been revealed that Courtney's former assistant is also writing a juicy tell-all book about her time with the controversial rocker, which is tentatively titled Get Me A Xanax.
Promising to lift the lid on the life of the troubled rock widow and her difficult relationship with her 19-year-old daughter Frances Bean Cobain, the book looks set to be an absolute page-turner!

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background A. Nutrition Labeling Regulations The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) as amended by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) (Public Law 101-535), together with FDA's implementing regulations, established mandatory nutrition labeling for packaged foods to enable consumers to make more informed and healthier food product choices in the context of their daily diet. The cornerstone of the NLEA is the requirement that packaged foods bear a Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP), which provides product-specific information on serving size, calories, and nutrient content. FDA's final regulations establishing nutrition labeling were published in 1993 (58 FR 2079, January 6, 1993) (the nutrition labeling final rule). With respect to calorie information, FDA's nutrition labeling final rule requires the listing of total calories and calories from fat, with the exception that ``Calories from fat'' information is not required on products that contain less than 0.5 gram of fat in a serving (Sec. 101.9(c)(1)(ii). When ``Calories from fat'' is not listed, the statement ``Not a significant source of calories from fat'' must be placed at the bottom of the nutrition label (Sec. 101.9(c)(1)(ii) (21 CFR 101.9(c)(1)(ii))). In addition, manufacturers may voluntarily list calories from saturated fat (Sec. 101.9(c)(1)(iii)). The nutrition labeling final rule specifies the format and content for the listing of calories in the NFP and provides that ``Calories'' must be in a type size no smaller than 8 point (Sec. 101.9(d)(1)(iii)) and be highlighted (Sec. 101.9(d)(1)(iv)). The nutrition labeling final rule also provides that information on ``Calories'' and ``Calories from fat'' in the NFP must follow the heading ``Amount Per Serving'' and be declared in one line with enough space to clearly differentiate between ``Calories'' and ``Calories from fat'' unless ``Calories from saturated fat'' is voluntarily declared, in which case they should appear in a column, with ``Calories'' at the top, followed by ``Calories from fat'' and ``Calories from saturated fat'' (Sec. 101.9(d)(5)). Exceptions to some of these provisions are provided for foods that contain two or more separately packaged foods that are intended to be eaten individually (Sec. 101.9(d)(13)), foods that contain insignificant amounts of seven or more of certain specified nutrients (Sec. 101.9(f)), foods intended for infants and children less than 2 years of age (Sec. 101.9(j)(5)), dietary supplements (Sec. 101.9(j)(6)), and foods in small and intermediate-sized packages (Sec. 101.9(j)(13)). B. The Report of FDA's OWG In August 2003, the Commissioner created the OWG and charged it to develop an action plan covering the critical dimensions of the obesity problem in America to help consumers lead healthier lives through better nutrition. The OWG was composed of professionals across FDA who provided a range of expertise in areas such as food labels; communication and education efforts; the role of industry and restaurants; and therapeutic interventions for obesity. The OWG met eight times and received briefings from several invited experts from other government agencies. In addition, the OWG held one public meeting, one workshop, two round table discussions (one with health professionals/academicians, and one with consumer groups), and solicited comments on obesity-related issues, directing them to a docket established in July 2003 (Docket No. 2003N-0338) (referred to in this ANPRM as ``the Obesity docket''). The final report issued by the OWG centered on the scientific fact that weight control is primarily a function of the balance of calories eaten and calories expended; and therefore, focused on a ``calories count'' emphasis for FDA actions (Ref. 1). A principal aspect of the Commissioner's charge was for the OWG to ``develop an approach for enhancing and improving the food label to assist consumers in preventing weight gain and reducing obesity.'' After considering the legal requirements concerning food labeling and the limited data on consumer familiarity [[Page 17009]] with, and use of, food label information (described in section I.C of this document), the OWG recommended that FDA: (1) Develop options for revising or adding caloric and other nutritional information on food packaging, (2) obtain information on the effectiveness of these options in affecting consumer understanding and behavior relevant to caloric intake, and (3) evaluate this information to make evidence-based decisions on which options to pursue. This ANPRM will focus only on the OWG recommendations pertaining to giving more prominence to calories. C. Data Concerning the NFP and Calorie Information The OWG reviewed research conducted by FDA and others, described more fully in ``Calories Count'' (Ref. 1), that shows that most consumers are familiar with the nutrition information on food labels and that they use this information primarily for evaluating the nutrition quality of specific food products. However, the percentage of consumers who use the NFP information productively for weight management purposes is low (Ref. 1). In addition, the OWG also reviewed results of focus group research conducted by FDA in November and December 2003 to provide, among other things, preliminary information on the participants' attitudes and behaviors towards nutrition information on food labels. In this research, among other things, FDA asked participants questions aimed at determining consumer attitudes and behaviors towards changes in the presentation of calorie information in the NFP and calorie information on the front label of food packages. Participants in FDA focus groups cared about nutrition labeling and reported using the NFP. While many participants said they were interested in calories, many also pointed to multiple concerns that went beyond the labeling of calories such as the level of saturated fat, total fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates and sodium (Ref. 1). In terms of calorie-related variations in the NFP, the focus groups tested participant understanding of several food label designs, including one similar to the current NFP but with some modifications. These included a relatively larger font size for the calories line, a %DV (daily value) for calories, and removal of the listing for ``Calories from fat.'' Many of the participants in these studies did not comment on the changes in the label until they were pointed out to them (Ref. 1). Focus group participants were also shown a design that included a ``starburst'' with the amount of calories per serving placed on the front of the label (i.e., the principal display panel (PDP)), as a way to give greater prominence to calories. The respondents felt that this design was misleading, i.e., that the manufacturer was trying to indicate that the entire product (as opposed to a single serving) had fewer calories than it actually had. Other groups were shown a design that included a white square with the amount of calories for the entire package. The responses of those shown this white square design were mixed (Ref. 1). Findings from focus group research yield only qualitative data and should not be viewed as nationally representative of consumers' views. Quantitative experimental data are necessary to make reliable and verifiable conclusions of consumers' views. However, focus group research can shed some interesting light on the complex issues covered by the OWG and are useful for identifying quantitative research needs. In addition to the literature review and focus group research described more fully in Ref. 1, we have also reviewed the written and public comments submitted to the Obesity docket. Several of these comments suggested that FDA develop ways to emphasize calories on the food label. In particular, these comments suggested that the label should focus less on fat and more on calories and overall diet, and that calories should be listed on the front, or on the PDP of the package in clear, bold lettering. Other comments noted that research should be conducted to determine whether the current calorie listing is meaningful to consumers. We agree with the comments that more research is needed, and that the highlighted comments are important considerations. However, before recommending changes to the food label, the agency wants to develop a better understanding of how consumers currently use calorie information on the NFP, and then assess whether the NFP requires modification to be effective in facilitating positive dietary change (Ref. 1). D. Recommendations From the OWG Concerning Calorie Labeling Based on information presented to and gathered by the OWG, its Report observed that, despite evidence of a positive correlation between label use and certain positive dietary choices (e.g., selection of lower sodium or lower fat content foods), the trend towards obesity has accelerated over the last decade (Ref. 1). The OWG hypothesized that consumers may not take advantage of the available information on the food label to control their weight, may not appreciate how the information could be used for weight management purposes, or may find it to hard to apply the available information to such purposes (Ref. 1). Therefore, the OWG recommended that FDA issue an ANPRM to solicit public comments on how to give more prominence to calories on the food label. Possible changes suggested by the OWG were as follows: (1) Increasing the font size for calories; (2) providing for a %DV for calories; and (3) eliminating the ``Calories from fat'' listing, as this may take the emphasis away from the listing of ``Calories'' (Ref. 1). II. Agency Request for Information The ability to determine the caloric content of packaged foods is critical for consumers, especially consumers who are trying to control total caloric intake and manage their weight. While the current NFP does allow consumers to determine the caloric content of packaged foods, it may be, as suggested by the OWG Report, that modifying the food label to give more emphasis to calorie information would benefit consumers in weight control and maintenance. To help the agency determine which regulatory options provide consumers with information that is most useful in weight control and weight management, and for any future analysis of benefits and costs associated with those regulatory options, we request comments and available data on the following questions. A. Questions Concerning Prominence of Calorie Information on Food Labels Would consumer awareness of the caloric content of packaged foods be increased by amending nutrition labeling regulations to give more prominence to the declaration of calories per serving? Why or why not? How would a more prominent listing of calorie information change the way consumers use the NFP in deciding what to eat? What methods could be considered for increasing prominence? For example, should the font size be increased for the listing of ``Calories'' from the current requirement of 8-point type, and/or should extra bold type or a different style of type be used? Would providing for a %DV disclosure for total calories assist consumers in understanding the caloric content of the packaged food in the context of a 2,000 calorie diet? Why or why not? [[Page 17010]] B. Questions Concerning ``Calories From Fat'' Section 403(q)(1)(C)(ii) of the act (21 U.S.C. 343) states that total calories from fat must be declared on the food label, unless the Secretary [of Health and Human Services] determines that the listing is not necessary to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices. When the nutrition labeling final rule was published in 1993, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (1990) recommended that diets be low in fat (Ref. 2). The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2005) recommends that diets be moderate in fat with most fats coming from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (Ref. 3). Moreover, the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends maintaining body weight in a healthy range by balancing those calories consumed from foods and beverages with those calories expended. Based on the information in the previous sentences, we request comments and data on the following questions: What data is there on how consumers use the listing of ``Calories from fat?'' How does the listing ``Calories from fat'' adjacent to ``Calories'' affect consumers' focus on the total calories of a food? What are the advantages or disadvantages of eliminating the listing for ``Calories from fat'' from the nutrition label? What data would be needed to determine whether the listing of ``Calories from fat'' is or is not necessary to assist consumers in maintaining healthy dietary practices? C. Questions About Use of Calorie Information on Food Labels Based on preliminary results from focus group research, discussed in this ANPRM, we request comments and data on the following questions: Is calorie content used to determine how much of a given food to eat, or to determine which foods, out of a range of similar products, to eat? Why or why not? If calorie labeling affects decisions on whether to eat a food and on how much to eat, how would the effects of the following requirements differ: A requirement to display the number of calories per serving on the PDP or A requirement to increase the prominence of the calories per serving in the NFP? What do consumers currently think the calories on packaged foods represent? D. Questions About Reformulation of Foods Or Redesign of Packaging Changing the regulations on calorie labeling may have an effect on what producers offer for sale. FDA has no prior information about whether new requirements for calorie labeling would simply change the way currently existing foods are packaged, or if the new requirements would change the formulation of foods offered for sale. In light of this information: Would the display of caloric content per package on PDPs encourage more competition based on the caloric content of packages and, if so, how? If the calorie content per serving were required to be more prominently displayed on the NFP, would it encourage more competition based on the calorie content of the food? Would the result be products reformulated to have fewer calories per serving, for example greater use of no calorie sweeteners? Would it result in any repackaging of products offered? How would this option change the kinds of products offered? If the calorie content per package were required to be prominently displayed on the PDP, would it encourage more competition based on the calorie content of the food? Would the result be repackaging of products into smaller units, for example repackaging cookies into 100 calorie packages? Would there be any incentive to reformulate under this option? How would this option change the kinds of products offered? Are you aware of any research, consumer or industry-based, that can assist the agency to answer any of the previous questions? III. Future Analysis of Benefits and Costs If the agency proposes regulatory changes based on the initiatives outlined in this ANPRM, we will estimate the costs of labeling changes and other potential costs (such as the costs of reformulating products) should the regulation create incentives for new products. The comments on this ANPRM may identify other costs as well. The benefits of the regulatory options depend on how consumers and producers respond to the changes in calorie labeling. We will use the information from comments to help determine ways to estimate the possible consumer responses to various changes. The comments will also contribute to our estimates of the effects of regulatory options on small entities. IV.

Filling in for her husband, who is on a three-day swing intended to highlight poverty issues, Edwards was introduced as "perhaps even more popular than her husband," reports our Liz Halloran.
Edwards smiled ruefully and suggested that "everyone who is not running is more popular than everyone who is running." Dramatic pause. "Hence, Fred Thompson." The audience roared.
The former senator is famously contemplating--and contemplating--a bid for the GOP nomination. Based on that alone, he has jumped to the upper echelons of presidential preference polls.
Edwards's tart comment came after another that has irked some of Sen. Hillary Clinton's team when she told Salon that hubby John is a better advocate for women than Clinton and questioned the leading Democrat's position on abortion.

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada made the following remarks today on the floor of the U.S. Senate, commemorating the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks:
"Six years ago today, 2,974 men, women and children became innocent victims to a cowardice and hatred that we will never understand.
"I remember watching that day from the windows of the Capitol as smoke from the Pentagon pierced the clear air. I remember the care taken amidst the panic to ensure that everyone was evacuated safely when word came of another plane heading our way. I remember how our voices joined together to sing 'God Bless America' on the Capitol steps, which was our way of showing the country that its government was still whole.
"But what I remember most was how our nation stood as one. The lines to give blood, stretching hours long. The food and clothing banks, overflowing with donations. The contributions pouring in – many giving more than they could afford – to help the families who had lost everything.
"And as our country stood as one, the world stood with us. The headline of one European newspaper read: 'We Are All American.'
"On this anniversary, and all those to follow, we must never forget the innocent lives we lost that day or the burden we bear for the freedom we cherish. Yet we must always remember the endless well of compassion and rejection of despair that followed. These past six years, we have faced great challenges. But though our scars will never fully heal, our spirit will never be broken. We are all American."

The current car that we have had the opportunity to love in coupe and roadster forms is slated to end production in 2015. What will pick up where it leaves off is the SLC, a so-called "baby SLS" with a 4.0-liter V8 and an eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission.

Window Dressing
There's more to holiday decorating than just the tree and the mantel―consider window ledges and empty bookshelves, too. Place pine boughs in a large vase and hang a handful of ornaments on them. Fill old jars with pistachio nuts, winterberries, or red peppercorns and nestle a tealight on top. Or go for a seashore motif, assembling an array of starfish draped with a length of plain red string.

Success Stories
CA - 12th Grade - Writing - When I met CA, he was already an accomplished student. He was making all A's in his classes, had gotten a 2250 on the SAT, and had mastered over 130 levels of his favorite video game. My job was to help him improve his score on the writing portion of the SAT and to give him pointers on his college entrance essays. I was very pleased with the topic of his essay - an episode of a popular cartoon - because it showed the range of his aptitude and would definitely make an impression on the college admissions personnel. As we discussed his thoughts, I noticed that CA always covered his smile with his hand. In the 15 1/2 hours that we spent together over a 10 week period, CA was able to complete exceptional SAT practice essays, write an essay worthy of entrance into the best US colleges and universities, and develop the confidence to share his thoughts freely and allow his smile to show through. He is such a joy to talk with and I am glad that the world can experience it as well. CA graduated from Roswell High School and went on to attend Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
GC - GED - GC, originally from Brazil, needed my help preparing for the GED after he left Alpharetta High School. He came to every session ready to learn and always with a very positive attitude. He picked up most of the material very quickly. In the areas that were more challenging, we spent extra time. GC was always enthusiastic about completing the worksheets that I gave him after each session. With a little over 40 hours together, GC was able to pass all five of the GED tests. I had the pleasure of working with him again as he prepared for the Math Compass Test when he decided to go to college. Once GC began his studies at a local ommunity college, his mother called on me again to help him understand and succeed in his math class. GC is the type of student that every tutor wants to have.
GS - Reading - GS was attending a local public middle school. She had been told that she was reading on a fourth grade level and was enrolled in ESOL classes, but her mother wanted to help her more. I began tutoring GS once a week and gradually reduced to once a month before she was able to succeed on her own. At our first meeting, I quickly realized that GS could read, but did not know the meaning of the words that she read. She enjoyed poetry so I used this as the basis of instruction. During the sessions, I had GS read each poem aloud. I noted any words pronounced incorrectly, gave her the definition of the word, and had her write down the pronunciation from the dictionary. She then read the poem aloud a second and third time. By the third time, GS could read the poem perfectly. GS used poetry books from the library to practice in between sessions. Within three months, I was able to release GS to work independently on her reading. She called me excitedly over the summer to tell me that she had passed the Reading portion of the CRCT. I still monitor GS's progress as she continues her education at North Springs Charter High School.
Read 2 Lead - Prior to my participation in the program, students at Dunwoody Springs Elementary School turned in paper calendars each month and received a ticket to put in drawing. Only one child per grade received a prize each month. I believe in working smarter rather than harder, so I created a website for the students to log their minutes each month. My oldest son even wrote and recorded a theme song for the program. Every child who turned in an electronic or paper calendar each month received a bookmark. Those who reported at least 600 minutes also received a small prize. Students logged over 1.4 million minutes (2010-2011), nearly 1.1 million minutes (2011-2012) and over 1.5 million minutes (2012-2013) with approximately 100-200 participating each month. The students were excited every month for the prizes, but the joy for me came as I saw students reading all the time. As children departed my school bus, I would have to tell them to stop reading as they walked off the bus so they would not hurt themselves. And the toy prizes became insignificant as most of the students opted for books from the prize cart.
High School Business Partnerships - I have been honored to work with ESOL students at Milton High School two days a week to help them achieve understanding in their math and science courses. I have been able to assist many students in math and science at North Springs Charter High School as part of the school's afterschool tutoring program. North Springs Charter High School has allowed me to be a business partner for the last two years giving me the opportunity to work with students who devoted time afterschool to participate in virtual educational courses. In addition to official partnerships with schools, I have been able to tutor students at many local high schools including Lassiter High School, Allatoona High School, Wheeler High School, and others.
