John Harbaugh has never been in this spot before.
Standing in front of the media wearing a suit to look back on a completed season while the calendar remains in December, if only for a day, is something he hasn't had to do. For his first five years coaching the Ravens, they have been in the playoffs.
This year, 8-8 didn't do the trick and Harbaugh doesn't like it.
"I guess I apologize for the fact that we're even having this press conference, that we have to talk about wrapping up the season and the playoffs haven't even started yet. That's not territory that we're very comfortable with or very familiar with or that we're very happy about around here," Harbaugh said.
"We understand that we didn't get the job done, and we understand that we've got to go to work to improve in every single way that we possibly can. We'll approach it with enthusiasm unknown to mankind, we will work like crazy to improve and become better. But it's going to be sticking in our craw for quite a long time, I can tell you that. ...
"We're going to need to run the ball better, we're going to need to protect Joe (Flacco) better. Those things will make us better offensively. We've got to make more big plays down the field. We've got to be better defensively in some ways, too. We need to be better in the fourth quarter, we've got to be better protecting leads late in the game. Those are things that probably would have made a difference in games that probably would have gotten us into the playoffs. Coaches are working on this."
The running game is the area that bothered Harbaugh, and the rest of the Ravens, the most. The team finished with just 1,328 yards on the ground to rank 30th in the league.
It was the lowest rushing total in Ravens history and came after running the ball had been a point of pride for the offense in Harbaugh's first five seasons in Baltimore.
Here's where the Ravens ranked in rushing under Harbaugh before 2013:
* 2012 - 11th
* 2011 - 10th
* 2010 - 14th
* 2009 - fifth
* 2008 - fourth
The team expected far better from the ground attack this season.
"That's probably our biggest disappointment because really we're built - we philosophically believe in being a rough, tough, physical offense that can run the football," Harbaugh said. "That's what we started. That hasn't changed, and no matter where you go with the passing game, that's got to be a staple of what we're going to do and it wasn't this year because of a lot of things. I know you said what are some of the things that stick out. Well, the things that stick out are the fact that it all kind of goes together that complements the running game.
"You've got to be able to throw the ball well to protect your running game. ... OK, that's one thing. We didn't always do that. You've got to be able to block people and move people and knock people around to be able to run the ball. You've got to be able to create some angles to create some situations where you have some mismatches. Then you've got to be able to make some plays out there when plays aren't there and try to create some yards. So I think across the board, coaches and players, those are all things that we just weren't able to put together. We tried like crazy, but we weren't able to put it together this year."
Harbaugh explained that it took a lot for the Ravens to struggle so badly to run the ball. But how much of the blame should fall to running game coordinator Juan Castillo, who was in his first full year with the club?
"Like I just said, it's a lot of things and that's part of them. I guarantee one thing if you talk to any of our coaches, and Juan Castillo is a very accountable guy - Juan Castillo will be the first guy to say, put it all on his shoulders," Harbaugh said. "There's probably a lot of people out there willing to do that. I say put it all on my shoulders. People will be more than happy to say, 'Fine, you've got it. It's all your fault.' And that's where we should all start. That's where it should all start for all of us.
"I know that, from being in those meetings every single day and being a part of that thing every single day, I know that, every one of our players knows that and every one of our coaches knows that there were a lot of things that went into that. So I have complete confidence and belief in all of our coaches. I believe in our coaches. That goes for Juan Castillo, it goes for all of our guys. I think he's a great coach, but I think all of our guys are great coaches. But we've got to coach better. We've got to find a way to use our personnel better. We've got to get better."
Ray Rice finished the year with 660 rushing yards and 981 yards from scrimmage for his worst numbers since his rookie year.
Rice was bothered by a hip injury for the majority of the season after getting hurt in Week 2, and that contributed to what transpired.
So with a full offseason to recover and get in shape, Harbaugh expects the 26-year-old Rice to look more like his old self going forward.
"My expectation is for Ray Rice to be one of the very best running backs in the National Football League," Harbaugh said. "That's the standard for Ray and the great thing about Ray, and I just had this conversation with him this morning, is that's his standard for himself. And the thing I love about it talking to him is he has a plan to make sure as his career extends here that he is that guy for a long period of time. So nobody works harder than Ray.
"The numbers weren't there this year, like we've talked about. There's different reasons for that. Ray Rice fought through some things. There's probably some issues he had with his legs that other players wouldn't have even played with, just would've said, 'Hey, I'm out.' That's not who Ray is. Ray fought through that early on. Right away he wanted to come back, the first week after the Cleveland game and we had to hold him back. So I think he fought through it and did the best he could with where he was at. And I'm very confident that if he says he's going to come back in the best shape of his life and be better than ever, I'm confident that he'll do exactly that."
After looking at Rice, eyes understandably turn to the Ravens offensive line. The unit replaced stabilizing veteran center Matt Birk to retirement after the Super Bowl and replaced him with second-year lineman Gino Gradkowski.
Bryant McKinnie started the year at left tackle, but couldn't replicate the high level of performance that earned him a two-year contract after the Super Bowl. So the Ravens traded for Eugene Monroe and then dealt McKinnie to the Dolphins. The unit also had to play most of the year without versatile second-year lineman Kelechi Osemele, who was limited to seven games because of back surgery.
So what will the Ravens have to do to address the O-line going forward?
"Everything's going to be on the table that way," Harbaugh said. "Every one of our guys, all of us understand in this league that it's a production business - coaches and players. So we all have to be accountable for producing and winning. That's why there's six, seven, eight, nine (coaching) changes every single year. And the same thing goes for players. Players are getting changed out every single week in the National Football League, let alone every single year.
"So what we will do is we will find a way to be the best possible offense, offensive line, defense, defensive line, special teams that we can possibly be, and personnel is a big part of that. The best guys deserve to play and the guys who are the best guys are the guys who play the best. I mean, we've got to find those guys. They know that. That's what players appreciate because they respect, they like the opportunity that they're looking for."
Going forward, Harbaugh expects open competition for almost every spot on the line with Marshal Yanda and Osemele the safest.
"I think there will be a competitive situation pretty much at every spot on the offensive line except right guard," Harbaugh said. "I'll be looking forward to getting K.O. back whether he plays left guard or right tackle. We'll have to make a determination on that. He can play either one of those spots. We assume that he'll be in that lineup somewhere because he's kind of that kind of player. But he's got to come back and do it. He of course knows that. After that, help me out. (Michael Oher's) contract is up. Eugene's contract is up. And we'll just have to see how some of that offseason stuff works out."
The offensive line could be the Ravens' primary offseason focus, but there will be plenty to address in terms of scheme, personnel, the coaching staff and more.
And although Harbaugh wishes the Ravens were still playing, he seemed enthusiastic for future planning.
"The other part of it is the excitement that you have for the next phase," Harbaugh said. "In all honestly, I cannot wait - and I know our coaches feel the same way - to dig into building our systems going forward, what we anticipate our personnel being and what's the best way to put together a defense, offense and special teams that will give the guys that we know are going to be back, the best chance to be really good. Let's do a great job of that. Let's make it a heck of a lot better than it was last year.
"Where we have to look, what we have to look at, what decisions we have to make as far as philosophical decisions about how we want to attack people - I can't wait to get started on that. That's No. 1. And No. 2 is the draft, free agency, the personnel part of it - working with Ozzie (Newsome) and his group. As coaches, we work with those guys to put the best group of players together that we possibly can. This is when you build a team, this is when you build the foundation of your team. The better job that we do right now, scheme-wise and personnel-wise, the better that we'll do next year. It's like a sense of urgency right now to get to work."
Note: Harbaugh also addressed Rice being held out for much of the first half of Sunday's loss to the Bengals. On Sunday, the coach told reporters it was for situational reasons.
On Tuesday, he seemed less sure.
"I really can't explain that adequately right now, in all honesty," Harbaugh said. "That was something that happened during the game that, when I looked over and saw it, I put him back in the game. So I don't have an answer for you right now. He should have been out there."

I am so tired of the amount of disrespect show to our president. I am a 55 year old woman and I have never seen anything like it. In years past, if you some of the things said too and about a President you would have been investigated and blacklisted as UNAMERICAN........and probably looked at as a terrorist.
Yes, this is the way to handle the idiots that believe unions are not needed.
I agree. Let it and him go. We are empowering his ego with all of this. We have already let him know how we felt about the way he handled leaving the Cav's.

North Carolina native William Ivey Long is one of the most renowned theatrical costume designers working today. This exhibition, organized by The Mint Museum, explores Long's most recent work, from 2007 to today. It features the theatrical productions The Lost Colony (redesigned 2007–2008), The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2012), Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (2013), Little Dancer (2014), and On the Twentieth Century (2015), as well as the television specials Grease Live! (2016), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016). Focusing on Long's process, it features sketches, swatches, mood boards, and other preparatory materials in addition to the costumes themselves. Because costume design is not an area in which the Mint collects, it provides visitors with exposure to this form of art and allow for comparison of the different goals of theatrical costume and fashion. The exhibition is co-curated by Annie Carlano and Rebecca Elliot.

Fish with Boursin Cheese and Tomato Sauce
I love fish but I do not make it often enough. But now that I've found this recipe, I think I will be making it frequently! I was looking for a dish to use up some of the Boursin I have on hand - I buy the 3-pack at Costco and just haven't used it up fast enough. Now I have a reason to buy Boursin, and not just for crackers! This fish is super delicious and it's fancy enough for a dinner party but easy enough for a weeknight. (Pictured above with garlic-herb orzo pilaf and bacon-maple brussels sprouts.)
Start by brushing olive oil on the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Arrange the fillets in the dish,
and then dry the tops with a paper towel. I used tilapia since I had it on hand - you could also use cod or another white fish. Now spread on the Boursin, which is easier said than done. I had to use a combination of a knife and my fingers!
Top the fish with the tomatoes - I pureed mine first because I don't like chunks...
Then sprinkle on the parmesan cheese.
Bake the fish for about 20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. The time may vary depending on the thickness of your fish fillets.
Find more ideas at Cooking Thursday, Foodie Friday, Food on Fridays and Friday Food, Ingredient Spotlight.
Fish with Boursin Cheese and Tomato Sauce
1 tsp. olive oil
1 pounds fresh white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, etc.)
1/4 cup Boursin cheese with herbs, room temperature (about 1/2 of a 5.2 oz. pkg.)
1 - 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, drained
2 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan cheese
Brush olive oil into baking dish to coat bottom. Arrange the fish fillets in the dish and dry using a paper towel. Spread the Boursin cheese evenly over the fillets. Pour the tomatoes over the tops. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serves 4.

Garlic-Herb Orzo Pilaf
I love finding new ways to liven up side dishes. I'm all for regular rice pilaf but this kicks it up a notch - and I love the addition of orzo. Orzo is such a fun little pasta, don't you think?
Start by peeling and slicing the garlic.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the garlic
cooking and stirring for 2 minutes. Then add the rice
and the orzo
and continue to cook and stir for 4-6 more minutes until the grains are toasty. Then add the broth
and the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the green onions,
the basil and the parsley.
(This recipe calls for fresh herbs - I think it would be even more delicious if you have fresh. I used dried for convenience.)
Stir will to incorporate the herbs and serve hot. Get more ideas at Mouthwatering Monday, Tempt my Tummy Tuesday, Tuesday at the Table , Tasty Tuesday and What's Cooking Wednesday, Ingredient Spotlight.
Garlic-Herb Orzo Pilaf
8 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup uncooked orzo
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 - 14 1/2 oz. can chicken broth (or 1 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup water
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves (or 1 tsp. dried)
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (or 3/4 tsp. dried)
1/4 tsp. salt
In a large skillet, heat oil and cook garlic over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Add orzo and rice; cook 4-6 minutes longer or until lightly browned, stirring often.
Stir in broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in the onions, basil, parsley and salt. Serves 4.

Pumpkin Cake Roll
For quite some time, I've wanted to try to make a cake roll but I imagined them to be too tricky. It's not! It's fun, too, and amazingly tasty. And it looks really impressive so your guests will be wowed by your culinary prowess. This has given me confidence to try other cake roll versions, but fall is the perfect time to make the pumpkin roll.
Start by beating the eggs in a large mixing bowl for about 5 minutes. Then gradually add the sugar
and beat until lemon-colored. Add the lemon juice and the pumpkin
and mix until combined. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon
and nutmeg.
Fold the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture.
Grease your jelly roll pan (this is just a 10x15 cookie sheet with rims) then line it with wax paper or parchment paper, and grease the paper (I used non stick cooking spray). I used my Pampered Chef baking stone bar pan, so I didn't grease the pan first.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan
and spread it to cover the pan (it will be thin).
If you're using nuts, sprinkle them over the cake batter now. Bake for 15 minutes. While it bakes, get your tea towel ready - place it on the counter and put a dusting of powdered sugar on it.
When the cake comes out of the oven, immediately invert the cake onto the towel then remove the paper.
The inversion of the cake is the trickiest part. Be decisive! Here's what happens when you're not:
(I then made a second cake and gave myself a pep talk before inverting it!)
Now roll up the cake IN THE TOWEL starting with the short end.
Let it cool in the towel.
While it cools, make the filling by beating the cream cheese, vanilla, butter and powdered sugar
until smooth. When the cake is cool, carefully unroll it,
and place dollops of the filling over it.
Spread the filling to within about 1 inch of the edges.
Now roll it up again, this time without the towel.
My edges weren't perfect, so I trimmed them a bit.
Place on your serving plate. (If you're not serving right away, this cake freezes beautifully. Wrap in cling wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to a month. Place it in the refrigerator the morning you want to serve it, or let it thaw on the counter for 1-2 hours.)
Dust the cake with powdered sugar
and enjoy!

Pumpkin Cake Roll
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin
1 tsp. lemon juice
3/4 cup flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs on high for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Add pumpkin and lemon juice and beat until combined.
In another bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg; fold into the pumpkin mixture.
Grease a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan; line with waxed or parchment paper. Grease and flour the paper. Spread batter into pan; sprinkle with walnuts.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
Immediately turn out onto a linen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off paper and roll cake up in the towel, starting with the short end. Cool.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla until fluffy.
Carefully unroll the cake. Spread filling over cake to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up again. Cover and chill until serving. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar, if desired. Serves 10.

Pumpkin Cake
Once we've turned from summer to fall, I start to think of all things pumpkin. I've never met a pumpkin-inspired recipe I didn't like, and this cake is one of my favorites. I even have friends who have come to expect its appearance at a fall get together every year.
This cake is SO easy - it starts with a yellow cake mix and because the pumpkin makes it so moist, you don't even have to add any oil, shortening or butter! It's practically health food...
Combine the cake mix, eggs, water, baking soda
pumpkin pie spice
and pumpkin
in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium speed for 4 minutes.
Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan
and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
I love using my fleur de lis pan for this cake - it looks so elegant!
If you want you can just dust the cake with powdered sugar but I love it with a bit of cream cheese frosting. For that, beat the cream cheese til smooth, then add the vanilla and the powdered sugar.
If you need to add a teaspoon or so of milk to make it more creamy, go ahead, but don't let it get too runny. Frost the top part of the cake.
I love to garnish this cake with crystallized ginger. I just chop it up into little pieces
and then sprinkle it on the frosting.
Beautiful and delicious! Get more recipes at Mouthwatering Monday, Tempt my Tummy Tuesday, Tasty Tuesday , Tuesday at the Table and What's Cooking Wednesday.
Pumpkin Cake
1 yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
1/4 cup water
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tsp. milk
3-4 Tbsp. chopped crystallized ginger
Combine cake mix, eggs, pumpkin, water, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Pour into a greased bundt pan and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then carefully remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
For frosting, beat the cream cheese til smooth. Add the vanilla, powdered sugar and milk and mix until frosting consistency. Frost the top of the cake and garnish with chopped crystallized ginger.
Serves 10-12.

Apple Dumpling Cake
Well, I've gotten over missing summer and am now ready to embrace fall. I really love all four seasons; each has different things I look forward to, especially culinary-wise. For fall, it's apples and pumpkins, soups and stews. I had one "go-to" apple cake, but I'm glad to have found another. (And stay tuned for the pumpkin recipes next week!)
Start by preparing the apples. I used golden delicious. Core,
and slice them,
then place them in a lightly greased 9x13 dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon
and brown sugar.
For the batter, combine the flour, sugar, applesauce, salt, baking powder, oil and eggs
and stir just until combined. Pour the batter over the apples
then sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is puffed and golden brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Welcome, autumn!

My name is Victoria, but most of my friends and family call me Tori. Feel free to do the same.
Born in the shadow of the black mountains in Wales, I now live by the sea in the south-east of England with my husband, Kelly, a degu named Joshua, a pair of chinchillas named Mollie and Maizie, and a West Highland White Terrier named Lilie.
Having battled with glaucoma since birth, I now find myself completely blind. But I didn't let that stop me from chasing the dream I've had since I was a young child: the dream of being a published author. I've loved to read and write since I learned how, and always wanted to get my work published. Finally, in 2012, I made that dream come true by self-publishing eBooks via Smashwords. Three years later, I began using CreateSpace to make my books available in print. So now I'm a published author of children's fiction, as well as a couple of poetry collections; all of which are available in multiple eBook formats, and as paperback books.
Reading and writing remain my favourite things to do, apart from spending time with my husband, and our rodent gang, of course. I also enjoy doing crafts (such as card making and knitting). Plus, I dabble in things like roleplaying games (such as Dungeons And Dragons) and figure games (such as BattleTech and Monsterpocalypse) from time to time, and enjoy watching movies and TV shows as well as listening to music. On top of that, I have an interest in history, especially stone age and Egyptian history, and in space exploration. I also love almost anything to do with animals and nature. I have to say "almost" because I'm not too keen on spiders and creepy crawly things, though can pretend they don't exist if they don't come too close to me. My favourite animals are cats, dogs, rodents and horses, though I generally get all soppy over just about any four-legged animal; especially young ones. That love of animals was a huge factor in my choice to become a vegetarian, as it's hard to enjoy a meal when you feel sorry for it.
Personality wise I'd describe myself as a combination of Hermione and Luna from the Harry Potter books; Hermione's thirst for knowledge and love of books, combined with Luna's wandering mind and alternative way of looking at the world. A couple of people have agreed with that description of me, so I feel I'm justified in using it.

A smashing little tale (or should that be tail since Kero loved to wag his a lot) about the author and her dog going walkies in the park and by the sea.
Great for little ones (with or without dogs) - but be warned - they might want a Kero for themselves.

FDA to review cold medicines for kids
A Food and Drug Administration advisory committee today begins a two-day hearing on the safety of cold remedies marketed for children. Drug makers said last week that they are voluntarily recalling all over-the-counter cough and cold medicines available nationwide for children ages 2 and under.
Also today:
•President Bush meets with the president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Co-defendant: O.J. wanted armed help
O.J. Simpson wanted armed men with him when he confronted two sports memorabilia dealers, according to a co-defendant who has agreed to testify for the prosecution in the Las Vegas armed robbery case.
"O.J. said, 'Hey, just bring some firearms,' " Walter Alexander told police in a transcript of his recorded statement obtained by the Associated Press.
Alexander told police after his arrest Sept. 16 that he and another man showed up with guns at the former football star's request, then headed with him into a casino hotel room to retrieve collectibles that Simpson said belonged to him. Alexander and another defendant, Charles Cashmore, have agreed to plea deals.
Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said Simpson's position remains that there were no guns brought to the room and that he did not tell anyone to bring guns.
Maine middle school to offer birth control
Pupils at a Portland, Maine, middle school will be able to get birth control at their student health center after the school board approved the proposal. The plan, offered by city health officials, allows King Middle School to make a full range of contraception available to students in grades 6 through 8, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Prescriptions will be given after a student undergoes a physical by a physician or nurse practitioner, said Lisa Belanger, who oversees Portland's student health centers. Students treated at the centers must get parental permission, but under state law, such treatment is confidential, and students decide whether or not to tell their parents about services they receive.
Lack of funds stalls Georgia homicide trial
The Georgia judge presiding over the homicide trial of a man charged with fatally shooting four people in a 2005 rampage suspended jury selection indefinitely Wednesday because the defense hasn't been adequately funded. The trial has been bogged down in friction with the state public defender's office over fees and expenses. Judge Hilton Fuller has ordered the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council to appear at a contempt hearing Monday to explain itself.
Brian Nichols is charged with escaping from an Atlanta courthouse, where he was on trial for rape. He allegedly killed the trial judge, a court reporter, a sheriff's deputy and a federal agent.
Planned Parenthood clinic faces charges
A Planned Parenthood clinic in Kansas was charged with providing unlawful abortions and other crimes by a county prosecutor who had battled the clinic when he was the state attorney general. Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline charged the Overland Park clinic with 107 counts, 23 of them felonies. A hearing is Nov. 16. State Attorney General Paul Morrison previously reviewed Kline's allegations and found no wrongdoing, Morrison aide Ashley Anstaett said.

On Deadline: What others are reporting
Business groups aim to defeat initiative
Fearful that voters may get the power to kill development projects, Florida business interests are using an array of political weaponry to defeat "Hometown Democracy," an initiative that would allow voters to approve or reject changes to county growth plans, The Tampa Tribune reported (tampatrib.com).
A mailing from one opposition group alleged the Hometown movement is a shadowy conspiracy by out-of-state special interests, the Tribune reported. It said another group sent an e-mail that put a phony message onto a doctored photo of a strip club marquee, making it appear the club was offering free admission to Hometown backers. Hometown supporter Robert Page compared the tactics to the Watergate era. "It's the dirty trick business just like President Nixon used," he said.
John Thrasher, head of a group opposing the measure, says it would raise taxes and utility bills. He says groups like his are pointing out the pitfalls of putting land-use decisions to a popular vote. � Paul Leavitt

I am Science
Today, millions of patients will benefit from innovative medicines and vaccines which can improve, transform and in some cases even save lives. But the outlook for tomorrow is even brighter.
I am Science is a campaign to celebrate our scientists' achievements and inspire future generations of science and business leaders; leaders who through their knowledge, experience and dedication have the power to change the future.1,2
From discovering penicillin to mapping the genome, pharmaceutical innovation has changed our lives.
Diseases like HIV are now considered a long-term condition and we have vaccines to prevent conditions that threatened our children's futures just a generation ago. ,
But the quest for new medicines is a painstaking and lengthy one.
Conditions like dementia and diabetes are becoming increasingly important in countries with ageing populations.3,4 These are just two examples of the many difficult and complex health challenges of the future.
As our knowledge grows, medicines are becoming more sophisticated and the search for new treatments gets even harder. Milestones are now often reached through many small steps, instead of in leaps and bounds.
But the benefits of pharmaceutical innovation are undeniable. In the 1970s, only a quarter of people survived cancer. Today more than half of people diagnosed with cancer will survive their disease for at least 10 years,5 and through innovation the picture is only getting better.
Millions of people live healthier lives as a result of our scientists' work and their collaboration with universities and charities.6 Great science means sharing knowledge and resources to work faster and achieve more. We are pioneering new ways of working together to bring new hope for the future.
But it also means that innovation must be valued.
To keep the wheel of innovation turning, we need the best and brightest brains. And so we need to create the right environment to inspire, and support the work of, future generations of scientists.
That's why Pfizer has launched I am Science, a campaign to celebrate today's scientific achievements and inspire the next. See I am Science in action.

In the 1984 movie Red Dawn, one character explained why war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union seemed inevitable: "Two toughest kids on the block, I guess. Sooner or later, they're gonna fight." A few years ago, when Hollywood set out to remake the movie, the filmmakers updated the script by replacing the Soviet bad guys with the Chinese. Then real-world economics came into play. To avoid losing access to China's multibillion-dollar film market, they digitally switched the adversary to North Korea in postproduction.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Andes Café is both understated and ambitious. It's a simple place with no fancy designer furnishings. The ambition is on the menu. Let it not be said that chef David Guerrero does anything halfway. The dishes come from seven different South American countries: Guerrero's native Ecuador as well as Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia and Chile. Fans flock there for generous ceviches, entraña (skirt steak seasoned with herby chimichurri sauce) and lomo saltado. Andes Café is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which means it's possible to begin the day with tamales, green plantain dumplings and quinoa oatmeal with blackberries and pumpkin seeds, which makes for a mighty fine start indeed.
Classic comfort foods get a refresh at this hot Washington Ave bistro-market hybrid. The energized, urban vibe of the exposed brick and art-filled space makes its way into the menu through things like duck fat camper's hash, buttermilk beignets and fried chicken, and "3 Pig" truffled mac and cheese — that cheesy and gooey skillet loaded with smoked bacon, pancetta and honey-glazed ham just may be the epitome of comfort. But if you're still on edge, Urban Eats's laundry list of poutine-style frites and craveworthy signature sliders (featuring everything from the pot roast- and gravy-loaded Sunday Dinner slider to a Fried Green Tomato BLT) should help.
READERS' CHOICE: the breakfast klub
Life is too short to drink bad Bloody Marys. And if you're going to get your morning boost through tomato juice and vodka, you may as well tack on a crispy and tender fried chicken wing and beer backer, right? The peppery Big Ol' Bloody Mary at this packed-for-good-reason Heights haunt will give you just that. It'll also give you a perfectly tart, seriously spicy house mix and a foolproof cure for your hangover.
READERS' CHOICE: Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette
Though the cash-only spot has been around awhile — in various forms since 1941, to be exact — this isn't some tired cafeteria. The unassuming eatery brings in fresh farmers' market produce daily and has an inhouse butcher. It isn't your school cafeteria, either. Here, "hot lunch" means you're getting scratch-made chicken and dumplings with a side of beautifully charred Brussels sprouts, flaky poached salmon with tomato and feta salad, and bigger-than-your-head chicken-fried steak with gooey mac and cheese. Just save room for the daily baked bread pudding and lemon chess pies. Oh, and don't forget that cash.
This messy burger-slinging truck already had good grades on its report card, but when it turned brick-and-mortar last year, the king of beef earned honor roll status. And with air conditioning, plenty of seating and an expanded menu featuring things like salad, poutine fries and boozy milkshakes, it's the kind of place the entire family can get down with. Recess grilled cheese sandwiches and mini burgers are perfect for the little ones, while those with growing appetites can smash stacked burgers made with daily-ground Black Angus beef, addicting inhouse condiments, and buttery, scratch-made buns. Trust us — this is one time your family won't mind taking the school bus.
This greasy spoon next to Canino's Produce may be old school (you may get called "honey" or "darlin'"), but that just makes it taste all the better. The family-owned and operated diner has been keeping Houstonians happy and full since 1942. With new, self-proclaimed "comfort food" concepts popping up all over the city, it's reassuring to know that you can stop by old faithful to fill up on grade A diner classics. Head here for the huge and cheap breakfast plates, blue plate specials and a cream-gravy-smothered CFS just like your mawmaw made.

VATICAN CITY -- The lawyers for Paolo Gabriele have petitioned Vatican magistrates for house arrest for their client, who is accused of illegally possessing stolen documents as part of the so-called "VatiLeaks" scandal.
Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, said Wednesday that the magistrates who have been holding Gabriele in the offices of the Vatican police were considering the formal request to allow him to return to his Vatican apartment with his wife and three children.
The papal assistant, a combination butler and valet, was arrested May 23 by Vatican police, who said they found stolen documents in his apartment.
Lombardi confirmed that Gabriele's lawyers had petitioned for house arrest. He said the magistrates were considering the request and "arrangements already are being made" in case they allow it.
The spokesman also confirmed that Msgr. Georg Ganswein, the pope's personal secretary, confronted Gabriele about leaking documents to a journalist when suspicions began to focus on him. "It would have been strange not to ask for an explanation" when Gabriele had worked in the private papal household with Ganswein for six years, Lombardi said.
In addition to the magistrates' questioning of Gabriele, Lombardi said the Vatican police and a commission of cardinals appointed by Pope Benedict XVI continue to investigate the leak of private letters to Pope Benedict, encrypted cables from Vatican embassies around the world and other sensitive documents. The first documents were released by an Italian journalist in January and he published dozens of them in a book in mid-May.
Briefing reporters at the Vatican, Lombardi said no cardinals were being questioned in the inquiry. However, he said, "hypothetically speaking," it is unlikely that a cardinal would be interrogated by the Vatican magistrates.
"Cardinals answer to the pope," he said. "With anything involving a cardinal, the Holy Father would have to be informed and decide how to proceed."
The Vatican spokesman began his briefing by highlighting the pope's "clear and heartfelt" words during his weekly general audience that morning. The pope told an estimated 15,000 pilgrims in St. Peter's Square that he was saddened by the VatiLeaks scandal, but he firmly believes the Holy Spirit continues to guide the church. The pope also thanked the majority of Vatican employees who work with fidelity and discretion, and he said some of the media are exaggerating their coverage, painting a false picture of the Vatican.
Lombardi also noted that Archbishop Angelo Becciu, the No. 3 official at the Vatican Secretariat of State, had published an article in the Vatican newspaper the evening before in which he called the leaks "an immoral act of unheard-of seriousness."
The journalist who wrote the book claimed his sources were acting out of a concern for the pope and the church, hoping to promote transparency and an end to corruption, but Becciu said leaking the letters was "unjustifiable behavior from every point of view."
In addition, he said, it is "hypocrisy" to pretend to be shocked that -- as some of the letters show -- Vatican officials disagree over how to handle different situations and bring their concerns to the pope.
People "criticize the monarchic and absolutist nature of the church's central government," he said, then they turn around and act "scandalized because someone writing to the pope expresses ideas or even complaints about how that government is organized. Many of the published documents do not reveal power struggles or vendettas, but the freedom of thought which the church is criticized for not allowing."
Becciu said the letters show that "obedience does not mean renouncing one's own opinions, but sincerely and fully expressing one's point of view, then abiding by your superior's decision."

Your answer is one click away!
I'm admittedly very new to Scala, and I'm having trouble with the syntactical sugar I see in many Scala examples. It often results in a very concise statement, but honestly so far (for me) a bit unreadable.
So I wish to take a typical use of the Option class, safe-dereferencing, as a good place to start for understanding, for example, the use of the underscore in a particular example I've seen.
I found a really nice article showing examples of the use of Option to avoid the case of null.
He describes a use as so:
trait User {
val child: Option[User]
By the way, you can also write those functions as in-place lambda functions instead of defining them a priori. Then the code becomes this:
val result = UserService.loadUser("mike")
.flatMap(user => user.child)
.flatMap(user => user.child)
That looks great! Maybe not as concise as one can do in groovy, but not bad.
So I thought I'd try to apply it to a case I am trying to solve.
I have a type
Person where the existence of a
Person is optional, but if we have a person, his attributes are guaranteed. For that reason, there are no use of the
Option type within the
Person type itself.
Person has an PID which is of type
Id. The
Id type consists of two
String types; the Id-Type and the Id-Value.
I've used the Scala console to test the following:
class Id(val idCode : String, val idVal : String)
class Person(val pid : Id, val name : String)
val anId: Id = new Id("Passport_number", "12345")
val person: Person = new Pers
Why do you insist on using flatMap? I'd just use
map for your example instead:
val result = operson.map(_.pid).map(_.idVal).getOrElse("NoValue")
or even shorter:
val result = operson.map(_.pid.idVal).getOrElse("NoValue")
You should only use
flatMap with functions that return
Options. Your
pid and
idVals are not
Options, so just map them instead.
You said
I have a type Person where the existence of a Person is optional, but if we have a person, his attributes are guaranteed. For that reason, there are no use of the Option type within the Person type itself.
This is the essential difference between your example and the
User example. In the
User example, both the existence of a
User instance, and its
child field are options. This is why, to get a
child, you need to
flatMap. However, since in your example, only the existence of a
Person is not guaranteed, after you've retrieved an
Option[Person], you can safely map to any of its fields.
Think of
flatMap as a
map, followed by a
flatten (hence its name). If I mapped on child:
val ouser = Some(new User())
val child: Option[Option[User]] = ouser.map(_.child)
I would end up with an
Option[Option[User]]. I need to flatten that to a single
Option level, that's why I use
flatMap in the first place.
If you looking for the most concise solution, consider this:
val result = operson.fold("NoValue")(_.pid.idVal)
Though one could find it not clear or confusing

News, notes and quotes on No. 6 Kansas' first true road game this season against Colorado on Saturday at the Coors Events Center in Boulder at 2:15 (CT) on ESPN2, while believing freshman guard Andrew Wiggins will have a breakout game. Wiggins, who's averaging 14.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, was held to a season-low six points against UTEP in KU's last game on Nov. 30 at the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.
The Jayhawks are 6-1 with its only loss coming to Villanova (63-59) in the Battle 4 Atlantis on Nov. 29.
After losing its first game of the season to Baylor (72-60), CU (8-1) has won eight straight and is receiving votes in both national polls. The Buffs are coming off two road wins versus Colorado State (67-62 on Dec. 3, CU's first win at Moby Arena since 2007) and Air Force (81-57 on Nov. 30).
Colorado averages 77.2 points per game and allows 64.9 while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 31.5 percent from three-point range. The Buffaloes outrebound foes 39.8 to 30.1 while holding opponents to 40.4 percent shooting and 34.9 percent from beyond the arc. Colorado also averages 7.2 steals and 13.9 assists per game.
CU is led by junior guard Spencer Dinwiddie at 15.3 points per game. Dinwiddie, who exploded for 28 points in the last game against Colorado State, also paces the Buffs with 13 three-pointers, 30 assists and 15 steals.
Sophomore forward Josh Scott is next in scoring (12.2 ppg) while leading the team in rebounding (8.7 rpg). He's followed by junior guard Askia Booker (11.4 ppg, 89.5 percent from the free throw line), sophomore forward Xavier Johnson (9.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg), and redshirt freshman forward Wesley Gordon (7.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg and team-high 12 blocks).
Tad Boyle, the former KU player (1982-85) under Ted Owens and Larry Brown, is 77-39 in his fifth season as CU head coach and 133-105 in his ninth season overall.
KU coach Bill Self has great respect for the Buffaloes.
"Inside they have a low-post presence (Scott) that's getting better all the time and he was really good against us last year," Self said. "They may have as fast and as good of guards in transition as we'll go against all year. Coach (Kurtis) Townsend said it would be the best transition offensive team we play all year as far as getting the ball up the floor quickly.
"We're familiar with them, and I'm sure they are with us. But they've got a nice team. They've won eight in a row. They should be confident. They've won away from home, and it'll be a tough game, very tough. But fun."
Self also loves the job Boyle has done in Colorado. The two go way back; they used to battle when Self played at Oklahoma State and Boyle at KU.
"I've said this many times. Tad and I were recruited the same year, and I knew I had no chance to go to Kansas when I was coming out of high school because they had already recruited one real slow white guard," Self said. "So Tad looked forward to playing Oklahoma State because he could guard me and I looked forward to playing Kansas because I could guard him.
"I think Tad has a calming presence (as head coach). I think he's done a great job; he doesn't get rattled and I think his players respond to that."
The series between KU and CU dates back to 1931 with KU leading 123-39, including a 40-26 record in Boulder (25-7 at Coors Events Center). KU has won 19 straight and 46 of the last 47 meeting with CU dating back to 1991.
KU hopes to heat up the nets after shooting just 41.9 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three-point range at the Battle 4 Atlantis' three-game tourney.
"You can say we need to play more shooters (like Conner Frankamp, Andrew White III or Brannen Greene) and that is true, but I guarantee you, you can get the ball to the third side quickly and force a bad close-out with the guys we've got in the game," Self said. "That's the kind of stuff that we need to really understand and address."
Wiggins said the team has struggled with its outside shooting, "but I think in the next couple of games and next couple of months, we'll pull it together."
Self didn't like the team's play and energy level in the Bahamas.
"The reason I was disappointed was because I thought that during the weekend we didn't play with the same energy or passion level that I think we played at earlier times this year," Self said.
"We don't consistently play with the sense of urgency that teams here in the past have played," Self added. "I think a lot of that is our veterans need to do a better job of educating our younger guys on exactly what level you have to play at all the time and your focus and your attention.
"... It's one thing to say you want to play harder, but also a lot of it isn't so much just playing harder but our focus and our concentration is so short right now."
Self said the team has rebounded from the tournament with a "good week" of practice. Sophomore forward Jamari Traylor believes the Jayhawks will play with more energy and passion against Colorado than they did in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
"We're focused," Traylor said. "We had a couple of bad games, sloppy games of finishing. We're just going to play hard start to finish and focus the whole time."
After the Colorado game, KU will play another true road game at No. 15 Florida on Dec. 10.
"It's definitely going to be a test and challenge for us," Traylor said about both games.

Dear Liam,
You are exactly one year old today. And what a wonderful year it has been. You have brought such a wonderful, magical presence into our world. We love you so much. And you must be thinking "wow, a whole year! That's a long time to love somebody." But sweet boy, I have loved you so much longer than that. When you were still in my belly, Daddy and I would lay in bed and watch you kicking and moving. We were so in love already and dad even said how silly it was to love someone that we'd never even met. I told him this and I'll tell you now:
When I was a little girl, I would always play house and day dream of having a little baby that I could cuddle and take care of. It with you that I was daydreaming about. I loved you even then. When I grew up, I decided on a career where I could work with children and help children learn and grow. I thought of how I would one day help my own child grow. I thought about you. You see, I loved you even then. When I met your father, it wasn't soon before we were talking about our wishes of having a family. I pictured him holding hands with a sweet little boy. It was you that I saw. I didn't know it at the time, but I know now. It was you and I loved you even then. As you know it took us a long time to find you. On the day we lost our first baby in my belly, we were so sad. But as I lay awake at night, I thought about you. I knew you were out there. I just had to be patient. I loved you so much even then. And then when the time was right, you arrived. The doctor placed you on my chest and you looked up into my eyes like we'd known each other for decades. The year that followed was filled with so much joy. And yes there were also sleepless nights, stuffy noses, blistered gums, toothaches, ear infections, and chapped nipples. There were hurricane evacuations, airplane rides, shopping trips, and cranky car rides. But through it all, I loved you even then.
And now, my darling, I am done sounding like a bad country song. So let me just tell you how honored I am to be your mother. What a beautiful adventure these past 365 days have been. Thank you for a wonderful trip around the sun.

Parasite Queen (named Vs. Parasite Queen in Brawl) is the theme that plays during the battle with the boss of the same name in Metroid Prime. The theme bears resemblence to Mother Brain's theme in Super Metroid. The theme was re-arranged for the Fire and Arctic Spawns in Metroid Prime Hunters. The original theme is re-used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Frigate Orpheon stage, and on Pyrosphere in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In the latter game, the song must be unlocked by recovering stat boots stolen by a Metroid in the Smash Tour mode.
The theme from Prime can be heard here: [1] and the theme from Hunters here: [2].

Paralympics aim to change Chinese prejudices
By Calum MacLeod, USA TODAY
BEIJING When a radio show caller complained that her blind father was a burden and jeopardized her prospects for marriage, host Ma Xinyu understood.
"My father was unhappy he didn't have an able-bodied son," says Ma, 26, who lost his eyesight by age 13. "He never liked to take me outside. 'You're a blind kid, and you look ugly, too,' he said. So I rarely left home at all."
Ma says such prejudiced views will eventually disappear. That's a major goal for the Paralympic Games that begin here Saturday.
Despite progress in recent years, traditional attitudes about physical handicaps remain entrenched in this nation that has at least 83 million people with disabilities, nearly the equivalent of the population of Germany.
The Paralympics, held every two years after the Olympics, will include 4,200 athletes from 148 countries competing in 20 sports through Sept. 17. The U.S. Paralympic athletes include two Iraq war veterans in track and field and swimming.
Though China is likely to top the medals table again — as it did at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens and at the recently concluded Summer Games — people working with China's disabled hope for a far deeper impact.
"I hope the Paralympics will encourage greater participation and understanding by both disabled and able-bodied people," says Da Wei, founder of the Hongdandan Education and Culture Exchange Center in Beijing, which supports the blind. He trained Ma to become a broadcaster and narrates movies for blind people.
"I want to break the limits on employment for blind people, who are often told they can only train to be masseurs. If blind people can be broadcasters like Ma, they can do anything. They can be lawyers, composers and professors. Just give them the right conditions," Da says.
Beijing has spent $80 million since 2001 to improve access for the city's nearly 1 million disabled people, says Zhao Chunluan, head of the Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation, a government body.
Improvements include 2,000 buses with wheelchair access, 300 bus stops with ramps and "blind paths" — raised grooves along sidewalks that the blind can feel under their feet.
"There are many blind paths now," Da says, "but they are not standardized, and they were not built or designed by blind people. Some of them are like setting a trap (with obstructions). We did one radio program where a blind journalist walked along the path, then bang! He bumped into something, felt what it was, then continued — bang, bumped into something else."
Tian Yue, director of a new center that provides services for people with disabilities in central Beijing, says facilities and attitudes in big cities have improved in recent years, but 75% of China's disabled people live in the countryside, where support remains limited.
"Until the 1980s, disabled people used to be called canfei— defective and useless," Tian says. "My classmate from 30 years ago had polio, and her parents would never let her outside for fear she would lose face for the family."
Tian scours her neighborhood to encourage those with disabilities and parents of disabled children to come to her center called Sweet Home, one of 1,400 government-funded support centers in the Beijing area.
"Prejudice and discrimination still exist," Tian says. "But if disabled people participate in more social activities and are more visible, then they themselves will change attitudes in society."
Tian has trained hundreds of Olympic volunteers to assist disabled athletes and spectators and says there is much more barrier-free access.
"You will see more and more wheelchair-users on the streets of Beijing," she says.
The nation does have famous people who use a wheelchair: Deng Pufang, son of former leader Deng Xiaoping, who was paralyzed during the Cultural Revolution and is the head of China's disabled federation. Athlete Jin Jing defended the Olympic torch from protesters in Paris last spring and was dubbed the "angel in the wheelchair" by China's news media.
Ma, the radio broadcaster, says, "People used to call me names when I was a boy, but it happens less often now."
His caller "listened to our show, and she changed her mind," Ma says. "She was worried her boyfriend's family would reject her if they knew her father was blind. We talked, and we became friends. And now they are married."

This is the best Armour in Ultima VIII: Pagan. This tough armour allows only very few blows to actually do damage. As a bonus, it is very low in weight. However, it is very difficult to assemble it, with the parts strewn over the entire world. A complete set has these parts:
- Magic Armour
- Magic Helm
- Magic Leggings
- Magic Gauntlets
- Magic Shield
The Avatar found them all in his Quest to leave Pagan, but it is unclear what happened to them afterwards.
Trivia Edit
The locations of the pieces:
- Magic Armour: Ghost Cave, Ancient Necromants, Obsidian Fortress
- Magic Helm: Obsidian Fortress
- Magic Leggings: Upper Catacombs, Daemon's Crag
- Magic Gauntlets: Argentrock Isle, Carthax Lake
- Magic Shield: Obsidian Fortress
- Magic Armour actually comes in the three qualities. The Ghost Armour is the worst, the Necromancer Armour average, and the Armour from the Obsidian Fortress is the best.

General Mills has decided to bring back its classic cereals, Boo Berry and Franken Berry, just in time for Halloween. The cereals will rejoin their old buddy, Count Chocula, on a grocery store shelf near you. — The Epi Log
Join The Conversation
Is it really bringing it back when they were still being sold in Wal-Mart and at stores around Halloween?
They were gone? I just thought my grocery store didn't carry it. Hmmmm
Such childhood memories. We could get Count Chocula and Frankenberry where I lived, but we only found Boo Berry when we vacationed in Maine during the summer. It was our special treat when we went!
When I was younger, you could NEVER get anything besides Count Chocola here. We would stock up when we visited family in Ohio. But I just saw these at the Acme during lunch!
They've never stopped producing them down here in Florida. They're available year-round at Walmart and always have been. My boyfriend who's from Massachusetts, was so excited when he learned about this. Haha.
Yay! I don't know if I'd still eat them, but there's definitely some nostalgia there. :)
Ha Ha, I bought some Boo Berry from Kroger last week and freaked out over it, my boyfriend didn't even know what it was but I remember- and Count Chocula!
I used to love these when I was a kid. I think I'd be sick if I ate them now.
Walmart has been selling these for a few months, but walmart is the only place you could buy em! I hope it is going to expand?
The best!
I don't eat anything blue, boo berry is like my worst nightmare.. But I love franken berry
The Target near us has them every Halloween, brings back those childhood memories!
I didn't know they had ever stopped selling these! I hate sugary cereals, so I guess I wasn't paying attention. I remember the commercials for these when I was little!

We decided to start Ivey on peas today. Instead of buying fresh local peas and spending time removing them from their pods I cheated and purchased frozen organic Peas from Columbia River Organics. Please note: when buying frozen peas make sure to carefully read the package I was surprised to find out that many contain salt (a big no-no for baby food).
I placed both bags of peas in a pot and added about a cup of water. I brought it to a boil.
Once it started to boil I turned the heat down. I stirred, covered it and waited until it was heated through.
I then quickly blended it up with this great blender.
After Ivey and I had a nice helping of peas we still had enough to fill two Fresh Baby trays – providing us plenty of leftovers for the coming weeks.
