This morning, I am flying to Las Vegas for Interop and an OpenSEA Alliance board meeting. Fortunately for me, my flight is not completely disconnected from the ground. As I write this, I'm sitting on American Airlines 1268 behind Lawrence Lavine of Ripplewood, one of the backers of AirCell. AirCell is the company that provides Gogo Inflight Internet on American Airlines planes.
I've seen Gogo's advertising on transcontinental flights (SFO/LAX-JFK), but I've never tried the service because I've never been on the right plane. Gogo is on the 767-200, but I typically fly the 767-300 flights. I'd heard that AirCell was installing Gogo on the MD-80 planes like the one I'm on right now, but I hadn't seen it yet.
Mr. Lavine has generously allowed several passengers to try out the service. (He's probably trying to get us hooked, and in my case, it's working!) At $9.95 for a one-hour flight to Los Angeles, there's clearly some work needed on the pricing model. Technically, the service seems fairly solid.
If you're reading this, Lawrence, thanks for giving me back an hour of my time!

The Guts to Create a World We Want to Live In
Dear Engaged Bystander: In this blog, I invited Jennifer Rauhouse of Peer Solutions to talk about her work to engage bystanders in sexual violence prevention.
Joan: Can you tell me about your approach to bystander intervention:
Jennifer: To really have an impact, we have learned why and how to move beyond individual level bystander interventions. We believe that we all must shift away from putting the responsibility on the person harmed to prevent their own assault. We need to empower communities to be a part of the solution while holding those that harm accountable for their actions.
Joan: I am intrigued in what you have learned about HOW to engage people:
Jennifer: One important strategy we use at Peer Solutions is to use the words victimization, perpetration and bystander-intervention as verbs rather than nouns. This approach focuses on the behaviors we want to change while avoiding labels, stereotypes, myths and blame. When used as verbs, victimization and perpetration also mean the same thing. The action we want to encourage is to place full accountability on the person harming. Community level activities can then be focused on learning why individuals victimize as well as understanding and working to prevent the perceived norms that perpetuate the culture of harm. When the "Bystander Intervention" concept is used as a verb, we are able to empower everyone to be part of the solution.
Joan: Have you developed a specific program that focusing on engaging the community in taking on responsibility?
Jennifer: When we begin, our STAND & SERVE members are activated to "build the world they want to live in" as a safe bystander strategy. We find it helpful to begin with that positive vision rather than focus on the individual skill building surrounding the infinite possibilities about what they "should" do if they see/hear of an individual planning to sexually assault another. We have learned this strategy provides the best guarantee that our participants, who do witness a potentially dangerous situation, no matter where they are or what it is, when they perceive it to be safe, they will most definitely SPEAK UP and seek help.
Joan: How do you bring this positive world view into reality?
Jennifer: STAND & SERVE activities include weekly lunch meetings at local high schools, weekly after school meetings at community centers for elementary-post secondary level students and monthly STAND & SERVE Coalition meetings. In January of 2011, the STAND & SERVE Coalition launched THE GUTS TO BE GOOD (G2BG). Through G2BG we work towards creating a world where all humans are safe and are treated equally and with respect. G2BG promotes five simple acts of kindness.
1. The guts to be RESPECTFUL,
2. The guts to be COURTEOUS,
3. The guts to SPEAK UP,
4. The guts to be HONEST and
5. The guts to LEND A HAND.
We believe it takes everyone to end sexual violence. We are all Peers, We are all the Solution. We would like to thank Carol Hensell at ADHS guiding and supporting our bystander approach for the past ten years.

PALATKA, Fla. - The city of Palatka on Friday began operating red light cameras at four major intersections.
The intersections are St. Johns Avenue at State Road 19; U.S. Highway 17 at 19th Street; U.S. Highway 17 at Ninth Street; and State Road 20 at Palm Avenue.
Driver Jacob White was unaware the system went into effect Friday.
"I hope it didn't catch me a while ago," he said.
Anyone who is pictured running a red light at either of the four intersections will receive a fine of $158.
"You have 30 days to pay it," said David Parsons, of the Palatka Police Department. "If you pay it, that's it. That doesn't go on your driving record. If you decide not to pay it, it will be turned in to a uniform traffic citation."
Not only do the cameras take photos, they're designed to take video. But not every driver is convinced the quality will be any good.
"You can't tell who's driving, and you have to defend yourself without any proof that it's actually you driving. So I don't like it," Driver Larry Till said.
It's unclear what impact the cameras could have because the city just started the operation, but many drivers say they'll pay more attention the next time they approach the traffic lights.
"Well, I'm going to be cautious, I'm going to be cautious, and I'll tell anybody that I know of to be cautious," White said.
Depending on how effective the cameras prove to be, the Police Department says it's possible more could be installed over time.

VisitWiltshire will this week host the Group Travel Organiser's Association (GTOA) annual conference at the Hilton Hotel, Swindon.
The Annual Showcase Exhibition & AGM Weekend, to be held from Friday to Sunday, will showcase Wiltshire to a national network of 200 of the UK's most influential group travel organisers, coach companies and tour operators.
Attendees will be able to meet up to 20 VisitWiltshire tourism partners and local businesses at a Meet the Trade event on the Saturday, as well as having the opportunity to attend one of five planned familiarisation trips – taking in attractions across Wiltshire – to learn more about the county first hand.
With GTOA being one of the leading group operator associations in the country, the event is the first time Wiltshire has secured a travel trade conference of this size and stature, and is a result of VisitWiltshire's ongoing commitment to establishing the county as a premier destination for group travel.

THE courage of a young brain tumour victim from York and the fundraising work in his memory will be at the heart of a family music festival this summer.
Organisers of the Apollo Festival, which launched last year, have chosen the Smiley Riley Fund – which helps pay living and travel costs for parents and carers whose children are undergoing chemotherapy – as the charity they will support during a day of music and entertainment in the grounds of York Sports Club on June 21.
The fund was formed in memory of Riley Plant, from Burnholme, who died in September 2012 aged 21 months after battling a rare and incurable brain tumour. It has raised more than £72,000 and its founder, Riley's grandmother Simone Potter, said: "We went to last year's festival to have a look around and it was a great day, with even more planned for this year.
"We will be working with organisers in the build-up and will be there on the day with the Smiley Riley gazebo – we're over the moon about it. It's amazing that so many people tell us Smiley Riley was the first charity which came into their heads to help.
"It's great that it has made such an impact and that people remember Riley's story – we are doing this as his legacy."
The Clifton Park festival will have three stages where Yorkshire acts such as Boss Caine, Pelico, The Entertainment Company and Redstar will perform, as well as a kids' quarter, funfair, open-air theatre, stalls and refreshments. Tickets cost £7 plus booking fee until the end of February, when an "early bird" price offers ends, with more information at apollofestival.co.uk?
"At the beginning of each year, we sit down and talk about who we think we should help, and this year it was very simple," said Apollo organiser Stuart Kelly.
"Smiley Riley is run by passionate and committed people whose aim is to help children enjoy their lives and forget their problems while creating a lifelong legacy for Riley. They should be proud of what they have achieved and be happy knowing they have put smiles on the faces of children and their parents, and we are proud to be working with them."

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Topic: New Baby
Well, I welcomed Alyssa Breh on Tuesday afternoon and she is just perfect. Felt Dad all around me during labor.... no doubt in my mind he was there. Pictures on facebook for those that are interested... you can find me by looking up Jennifer Sadler (in Calgary Alberts) or my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.
She came just in time - I live in Calgary where we are in a state of emergency with horrible flooding like nothing we have ever seen. It's devastating and just so incredibly sad to see all the damage. Roads washed away, houses destroyed, zoo under water (luckily they were able to move animals to higher ground) and downtown along with a ton of areas evacuated since they are under water. Luckily we are safe where we are aside from possible water and power shortages in the next few days. It's worth looking up to see some of the photos.
Anyway, just a quick update. Hope everyone is well.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/12/2012 (1721 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The "godfather" who was likely the last person who loved Phoenix Sinclair to see the little girl alive testified at the inquiry into her death this morning.
Rohan Stephenson, 42, said he had no idea Samantha Kematch would murder the girl after she and her mother took Phoenix from his care shortly before her fourth birthday in April 2004.
"I assumed they'd take her and Sam would get sick of her in two days and let her go," Stephenson testified.
Kematch and her boyfriend, Karl McKay, murderd Phoenix in 2005 and were convicted in 2008 of first degree murder.
The inquiry, which began in September, has heard several times about the man identified only as Phoenix's "godfather" who took her to hospital in Feburary 2003 with a festering object stuck up her nose.
That was Stephenson, who testified for the first time today. He was caring for Phoenix more than half the time when her mother showed up one day for a visit in April 2004.
Stephenson didn't want Child and family Services involved with him and his kids so he didn't give his name at Children's Hospital when he took Phoenix there in February 2003 when the object stuck up her nose started to stink. He's not sure why the hospital forms - seen many times over the last two weeks at the inquiry - listed him as her godfather.
'I'm a liar, they're incompetent'
Stephenson testified that in April 2004, when Kematch took Phoenix from his home for a visit, he didn't know she was a danger to Phoenix. He didn't notify Child and Family Services or Phoenix's father, Steve Sinclair, who was supposed to be caring for the little girl.
Stephenson said he didn't notify Sinclair because he didn't know where Sinclair was and Sinclair had no phone. At the time, Stephenson was working nights full-time caring for quadriplegic residents at 1010 Sinclair, raising Edwards' and his sons, who were then 11 and 13, and caring for Phoenix during the day instead of sleeping.
"I was exhausted," he told commission counsel Derek Olson.
Stephenson said he didn't trust Child and Family Services and admitted to lying to CFS workers that his estranged wife Kim Edwards was living with him so they wouldn't take Phoenix and put her in a foster home with strangers.
The lawyer representing child welfare agencies at the inquiry asked Stephenson if he didn't bear some of the blame for what happened to Phoenix by not reporting things to CFS and being honest with social workers.
Stephenson told Kris Saxberg if social workers had done their job and followed up, they would have known what was going on.
"I'm a liar, they're incompetent, and 15,000 other circumstances - and now Phoenix is dead," he said.
Outside the hearing he told reporters that social workers need to have professional standards and be held accountable.
"Why aren't they accountable?"

By: Michael R. Taylor, J.D.
Over the past century, few innovations have been as important to public health as the development and use of antimicrobial drugs to treat bacterial infections. They have been successfully used for more than 50 years to treat, control, and prevent diseases in both humans and animals. But over the years, while physicians, veterinarians, and the livestock industry have been putting these important medications to their many uses, we've also learned a critical lesson: they have to be used judiciously to ensure they remain effective.
There are complex reasons for this development, including the overuse of antimicrobial drugs in human medicine – a problem FDA and the medical community are working to address. But we also know that an additional factor contributing to antimicrobial resistance is the use of medically important drugs for feed efficiency or growth promotion (so-called "production" uses) in food-producing animals. For the FDA, an agency that's responsible for protecting the health of the public, this fact requires a response to help preserve the continued effectiveness of these drugs for both humans and animals.
So FDA has settled on a strategy to phase out production uses of medically important antimicrobials and provide that they be used only for targeted, FDA-approved animal health purposes under the supervision of a veterinarian. The important sea change that will enable us to implement this strategy efficiently and expeditiously has been the willingness of many drug companies, veterinarians and animal producers to work collaboratively with FDA to ensure that medically important antimicrobial drugs are used in food-producing animals only when necessary to ensure their health. Many animal producers already work in this way, and we look forward to working closely with the animal production community to make judicious use of antimicrobials standard practice throughout the industry.
In developing our strategy, FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine has consulted extensively with our colleagues at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with the agricultural and veterinary communities, with the animal drug and feed industries, and with public health and consumer advocates. And, as a result of that work, we have released three documents that outline a collaborative approach to keeping antimicrobials effective by limiting their food animal use to specific medical needs.
First, we are publishing a final guidance for industry on The Judicious Use of Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs in Food-Producing Animals. This document establishes a framework for phasing out the use of these drugs for feed efficiency or growth promotion and phasing in veterinary consultation or oversight of their medical uses in food-producing animals.
Second, we are asking for public comments on a draft guidance to drug companies on how to revise their FDA-approved product labels for medically important antimicrobial drugs to no longer include use for feed efficiency or growth promotion, and include veterinary oversight or consultation.
And third, we are publishing a draft proposed regulation, also for public comment, to streamline and modernize the current regulation that governs veterinary authorization for the use of certain drugs in animal feed.
I know there will be those who question why we have not taken mandatory action to ban production uses of antimicrobials. The answer is that, with the willingness of drug companies and others in the animal production industry to collaborate in implementing our strategy, we can make changes more quickly than if we had to rely solely on a cumbersome regulatory process that would require us to seek change drug by drug, and labeled use by labeled use. Working together is how we will get good results in a timely manner.
In implementing our strategy, we want to avoid adverse impacts on animal health and disruptions to the agricultural industry. We anticipate that the phase out of production uses of antimicrobials and establishment of veterinary oversight of remaining ones will take three years. For that reason, in the draft guidance to drug companies we are proposing this timeframe for implementation. We intend to monitor progress after the three-year timeframe has elapsed to evaluate the rate of adoption of these changes. If progress is not what we expected, we will consider further action as warranted in accordance with existing provisions of the FD&C for addressing matters related to the safety of approved new animal drugs.
We know, and so do our colleagues at USDA, that change will be more challenging for small-scale and geographically remote animal producers. It will take time to ensure they have the veterinary support these changes will require and other technical assistance to adjust to the phase out. And we won't forget about these unique needs.
Concerns about the use of antimicrobial drugs in humans and food-producing animals have been on FDA's agenda for many years. We see the collaborative strategy we are announcing as a major step forward. It is designed to protect and promote the health of the American public while minimizing disruption to animal health and the animal agriculture industry. We look forward to the public's comments and to the work ahead to achieve these important goals.

Concerns over the treatment of PC Lee Birch - cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the Tasering of Trowbridge man Daniel Dove - have been voiced by Wiltshire Police Federation.
PC Birch, who was cleared after a five day trial at Bristol Crown Court last week, still faces an Independent Police Complaints Commission into the incident.
Mike White, chairman of the federation, said in a statement: "The Police Federation's role is to ensure the views of ordinary police officers are fairly represented. I have received many messages from police officers across Wiltshire welcoming the not guilty verdict and expressing their support for Lee.
"Because all police officers join as constables they understand the pressures that are faced when dealing with aggressive, violent and drunken individuals.
"Not a day goes by where an officer, somewhere in Wiltshire is not subjected to violence or threats of violence.
"Through experience police officers learn to recognise the signs of escalating violence often having to make a split second decision on the most appropriate response.
"Lee is a an experienced, honest, hardworking and professional police officer who, on recognising an increasing threat of violence responded in a way which the jury deemed to be proportionate, lawful and appropriate.
"Every police officer is aware that they are individually accountable for any decision to use force. As in this case such decisions can be subject to intense scrutiny.
"Many people have seen a CCTV video clip of the incident and will have formed a view of the incident from that short clip.
"Whilst I acknowledge the impact this video clip may have on public opinion I ask that you consider that it is a single piece of evidence and, viewed in isolation, risks representing an unbalanced view of the case.
"In total, five days of evidence, which included CCTV of the custody booking in procedure in addition to the incident in the cell, was presented in court.
"The jury then made an informed decision on all of the evidence that was presented to them.
"As well as the messages of support from officers many have voiced their concerns over the 'double jeopardy' that police officers face in such circumstances.
"Immediately following the not guilty verdict the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) announced that an investigation, managed by them, will consider whether the actions of Lee Birch breached standards of professional behaviour.
"Police officers are not, and never should be, immune to being held accountable for their use of force however in this case Lee Birch's actions have already been scrutinised, in public, in a court of law.
"I question whether it is genuinely in the public interest to pursue misconduct proceedings against officers in such cases.
"Government guidelines advise that, following an acquittal, consideration should be given as to whether an officer should then face misconduct proceedings.
"The tone and speed of the IPCC's press release raises questions as to whether government guidelines and the basic principles of fairness are being applied to Lee Birch in this case. I will shortly be writing to Lee's local MP to ask him to look into this matter.
"The final issue raised by our officers is the fact that a drunken, violent individual has never been held to account for the assaults he perpetrated on two Wiltshire police officers in the events leading up to the Taser incident.
"Wiltshire Police officers deserve the protection of the courts from violent individuals and the federation will be seeking a review into the decision to discontinue the charges of assault on police."

Cannes Red Carpet Round Up: Best and Worst Dressed
The dresses! The jewelry! The good and bad on the red carpet continues!

Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell looked svelte and slinky in a burgundy Azzadine Alaia ruffled gown at the premiere of The Beaver.
Jodi Foster
It's quite possible that Jodi Foster wore Armani when she was an infant. She always wears Armani on the red carpet. This simple navy Armani gown, hugs Jodi in all the right places. The Cartier platinum earrings and bracelet worked so well with it. Wondering if she doubled as Mel Gibson's bodyguard at the premiere of The Beaver. It looked like she never left his side.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie really exudes glamour in the chocolate brown strapless gown by Atelier Versace at The Tree of Life Premiere. Who ever said brown was boring, never saw this dress.
Gwen Stefani
Also spotted at The Tree of Life premiere, was Gwen Stefani channeling 70s disco fever the right way. The pumped up hair, brilliant pink lips and sequined Stella McCartney is look that's going to be copied a lot this summer.
Jessica Chastain
Zinga zinga yow! Jessica Chastain wore a canary yellow Zac Posen gown to the premiere of The Tree of Life. She added Louis Vuitton jewelry to her outfit, but her best accessories were Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.
Sonam Kapoor
The Artist is a silent film that premiered at Cannes. For the red carpet, Sonam Kapoor chose an architectural wonder of a dress by Jean Paul Gaultier.
Penelope Cruz, Uma Thurman and the worst dressed up next!

Topic: Mom died in 24 days after diagnosis
My Mom was 73 and very active and very healthy overall. She was a competitive swimmer and trained daily most of the year. She held records in her age group and competed in triathalons. She started to get multiple health complaints in fall of 2007 and that in itself was unusual for her. First was shortness of breath which was diagnosed as asthma, then after a few months the diagnosis was changed to pulmonary fibrosis then to suspected angina! At the same time she had pains in her abdomen which got increasingly intense so her doctor scheduled an ultrasound. During this entire time she was still active and doing all her swimming competitions etc. Finally one night she was up all night long throwing up and the abdominal pain got worse. She then drove herself to the hospital where they diagnosed a bowel obstruction. We were thrilled with this diagnosis since it also explained the shortness of breath and negated the angina.
After the operation the doctor came to tell me that my Mom was full of tumours on every organ and her lungs. He did a a bowel reconstruction but said she had multiple blockages from the tumours and he did not find a good portion of colon to re-attach to. He basically did a patch job. He said it was very advanced stage cancer and she would likely just get another obstruction and die within months. He took some tissue samples and it came back as advanced cholangiocarcenoma. After the operation she did not eat any food and anything she had came back up. She did see an oncologist and they did say there was a chemo treatment that would slow down the growths and provide more comfort and maybe more weeks or months of survival but not any kind of recovery. She was not able to get the treatment however because she could not eat and therefore was not strong enough to endure chemo. At that point it was suspected that she had another bowel obstruction and the doctor told us he could not operate on her again. She died two weeks later. During the last two weeks she threw up everything and developed water around her lugs. It got increasingly harder for her to breathe and she was on oxygen and an IV and morphine patch. It took a total of 24 days from the day she entered hospital with the bowel blockage to passing.

Noticing the Positive
Ah, spring. The weather is warming up, flowers are blooming, and I am finding many more reasons to be outside at this time of year. In fact, this past weekend found me spending a lovely day with friends in Brooklyn. The weather was perfect as we mingled with people at an outdoor food festival.
I don't know about you, but when I am in these situations, I take the opportunity to observe people. Now, I've been to New York City many times and I love it, but I don't always have the most positive experience there. Street harassment is alive and well everywhere, but it generally abounds in large cities. I'm so glad that there are organizations like Hollaback! and Stop Street Harassment who provide resources and tools for addressing this type of harassment. So, I admit that I was on my guard as I usually am when I am in a large metro area.
But as I sat there and watched the people around me, I noticed something interesting. Parents interacting in positive ways with their children – pushing them on bikes, crouching down on the ground to chat with them or to play, picking them up and comforting them when they took a tumble. Adults engaged in discussions with friends and partners – expressing interest, offering words of comfort and encouragement. Couples enjoying the warmth of the sun and each other's company by simply holding the other's hand. There was a general sense of community in this large crowd. Could it have been the delicious food and the beautiful weather that was bringing out the best in everyone? Maybe that had something to do with it. But I like to think it was something more. Surrounded by hundreds of people, and noticing something positive in such a large crowd, was so inspiring to me. I found myself smiling and chatting with strangers, tipping the vendors more than I normally do, and feeling like I could stay there all day and just soak up the good vibes. Healthy and respectful behaviors and interactions are contagious. It reminded me of the Liberty Mutual commercials that aired a few years ago…how one good deed leads to another. Will I experience the same thing on my next visit? Maybe or maybe not. But I was inspired that day, and I'll hold that with me.
Have you experienced a moment like this that inspired you in some way? Feel free to share in the comments below!

britishcreamtea :: Christmas Pudding
The traditional British Christmas Pudding with brandy sauce and a sprig of holy. The first recipes of this pudding came from the Middle Ages. In 1595, spirits, dried fruit, eggs, and breadcrumbs were added to the recipe and it became plum pudding. In 1664, it was banned by the Puritans as a lewd custom! In 1714, King George I re-established pudding as part of the Christmas feast even though the Quakers strongly objected, and people began sprinkling it with brandy and setting it aflame when serving it to their guests. The Christmas pudding was not a tradition in England until it was introduced to the Victorians by Prince Albert. By this time the pudding looked and tasted as it does today. The traditional cooking time takes about eight hours, with preparation taking even longer due to extensive marinating. The longer the fruit is marinated in brandy, cider, or both, the better it tastes and this could take weeks!

Upon the HearthRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I can be a reading book
That is a bit like a nook,
But I'm also giving birth
To a flame upon the hearth!
HintMy word's made from dimwitted,
added to a relative.
A Kindle is Amazon's electronic reading book, which is similar to Barnes and Noble's Nook.
To kindle something means to light or start a fire.
As for the hint, the word "kindle" is made from the sound "dull" (dimwitted) added to "kin" (relative), which makes "kindle".

Danny Green insists his opponent will carry the major advantage into their world title fight even though New Zealand's Shane Cameron has had to shed the kilos to make the weight limit.
Green and Cameron both made the catch-weight target of 89 kilograms at Tuesday's weigh-in for the media before Wednesday night's IBO cruiserweight crown bout at Melbourne's Hisense Arena. The official weigh-in was to be held later on Tuesday.
Cameron is a natural heavyweight and has fought at 108 kilograms previously, but he has had to lose eight kilograms in the lead-up to this bout, while Green could stick to his usual training and eating regimes.
Green conceded he could get plenty of fuel into his system while his opponent closely monitored his weight, but he expected Cameron to load up on food in the hours before the pair met in the ring.
"The advantage is going to be his tomorrow night when the bell goes," Green said.
"This is as heavy as I'm going to get. This is me. He's going to fuel up. He's going to be 10 [kilograms] heavier [than me]. But let's see what you've got, big boy."
Supported by a strong New Zealand contingent among the crowd of about 250 at the weigh-in at Crown, Cameron said he was relaxed and had done everything possible to prepare for his first tilt at a world title.
"I definitely think it's going to be a win on my side. If I land a good one on Danny, it's going to be a hard night for him," he said.
Green, who is chasing a fourth world title but could also be about to fight for the last time of his career, was also relaxed at the weigh-in and at times playfully interacted with the crowd and interviewer on stage.
"I think his prediction is incorrect," he said. "What am I going to say, he's going to win, too? Of course I'm going to say I'll win. That's what we're here to do. I'm here to belt the bloke and that's what he's going to do to me as well.
"I'm just thankful for everyone for coming along - a great turnout. Even the Kiwis too. That's what this fight needs, it needs a lot of support and it's going to be a great atmosphere at Hisense Arena."
After tipping the scales, Green and Cameron posed for the cameras and then came together to eyeball each other, before the West Australian pulled away to smirk to the crowd.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/0..._n_574722.htmlThe Huffington Post posted:AP is reporting that Khattiya Sawatdiphol, a Thai general allied with anti-government Red Shirt protesters, has been shot in the head in Bangkok.
According to a reporter for the New York Times, Thomas Fuller, the shooting took place while he was interviewing the general, who is also known as Seh Daeng. Fuller has a photo of Sawatdiphol he says was taken minutes before he was shot, which you can see here.
From the AP:
The aide who answered Maj. Gen. Khattiya Sawasdiphol's mobile phone described the injury as "severe." The Associated Press called Khattiya's phone after several gunshots and explosions were heard in central Bangkok late Thursday from the vicinity of the area being occupied by the protesters.
"Seh Daeng was shot in the head," said the aide, referring to Khattiya by his nickname. The aide hung up without identifying himself.
It was not possible to verify the aide's claim that Khattiya was shot by a sniper. Calls to police and army spokesmen seeking comment were not answered.
Several Thai media outlets also reported that Khattiya was shot and taken to a hospital. Khattiya is a renegade army major general whom the government has labeled a "terrorist" and a mastermind behind violence from anti-government protesters.
The report of Khattiya's shooting came after sounds of gunfire and at least four explosions, and expectation that security forces could launch a crackdown.

Evolution Hoax
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV dated 19 April 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: "Say: If your fathers or your sons" Look, immediately the family, fathers and sons. "or your brothers or your wives or your tribe," your friends in other words. "or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you fear may slump, or any house which pleases you, are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His Way," serving on the path of Allah, day and night. "then wait until Allah brings about His command." Wait until death, and then Allah will extract retribution, it says. "Allah does not guide people who are deviators." A Muslim must not chose these over Allah, the Messenger of Allah and striving on His path. If they do, they will suffer disaster.

Kevin Rudd can give as good as he gets when it comes to writing history.
The former prime minister has shrugged off an excerpt from the memoirs of former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, in which Dr Gates fell asleep while listening to Mr Rudd talk.
In his book Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, to be released next week, Dr Gates recalls how a mix of drugs for a broken shoulder, jet lag and wine saw him doze off while Mr Rudd gave "a long soliloquy" about Australian history during a 2008 dinner.
The former Defence secretary writes that the then prime minister was "very gracious about the whole thing". But on Thursday, a spokeswoman for Mr Rudd had a more pointed take on the incident.
"Given the the number of pain-killing drugs [Dr Gates] was on when he arrived at the Lodge, Mr Rudd thought it was surprising Mr Gates could remember anything from the evening at all," she said.
"Perhaps Mr Gates should have taken up Mr Rudd's suggestion, made to him when he arrived, to forget dinner and just go home to bed."
The former prime minister was not without understanding, however.
"Mr Rudd also recalls nodding off a few times himself over the years as foreign minister when the body clock kicked in at the wrong time," the spokeswoman said.
In Duty, Dr Gates, who was Defence Secretary from 2006 to 2011, describes how he slipped on ice outside his house a week before his trip to Australia, breaking his shoulder in three places.
He notes that while he was lucky that the injury didn't need surgery, it still caused some "awkward moments" during his travels.
"At a very nice dinner given in my honour by Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd, I was doing fine at table conversation until Rudd began a long soliloquy on the history of Australia. I had made it just past World War I when the combined effect of a painkiller, jet lag, and a glass of wine caused me to fall asleep," Dr Gates writes.
"This led to not-so-subtle attempts by my American colleagues at the table to rouse me."
While Mr Rudd may not be happy about having the whole world find out about his boring conversation, he got off a lot more lightly in the book than US President Barack Obama - who is accused of not believing in the US strategy in Afghanistan.

SMWC Equestrian Western Team Heads to National Semi-Finals
March 22nd, 2013 | SMWC
By Jovan Jeftich
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) Equestrian Western Team travels to Syracuse, New York to compete in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Western Semi-Finals. The weekend show will take place at the New York State Fairgrounds on March 23-24, 2013
The team had a very successful season this year. They led the region for the entire season and their success has been fueled by the physical fitness of the riders.
"I also feel this improvement had led to their self-confidence which is evident in the show pen," said head western coach Sara Schultz. "Between the intense workouts and team practices, we have formed a really cohesive group of young women," said Schultz.
At the 2012 semi-finals, the team finished in 6th place. The goal this year is to finish in the top three to qualify for nationals. "It is hard to guess as to how we will do as there are so many variables," said Shultz. "Riders basically draw the horse they are going to ride "out of a hat" with no warm up time so they have to get to know the horse quickly. The health of our riders is also key. Last year, we had a sick team. If all is well, I feel confident that we could qualify for nationals. They have the determination to do it."
Additionally, SMWC individual riders qualified for the semi-finals. Those individual qualifiers are:
Tierra Chaney, Marshall, Ind., (Intermediate)
Shelby Harber, Wabash, Ind., (Walk Trot)
Ali Mahloch, Plymouth, Wisc., (Open Rail)
Sara New, Filmore, Ind., (Novice)

A cruel and completely hilarious review of the film Les Miserables I read described Amanda Seyfried (pictured here) as looking like ''a hankie with eyes'' in her white dress in the film.
It struck a chord as I had recently scoped a red-carpet shot of her in a flesh-toned frock where she did indeed look all one colour with just her extraordinary eyes popping out.
So I was thrilled to come across this picture of her working colour like a master. Zap! goes the blue coat. Pow! answers the yellow frock. Bam! here's the red bag. Yet, still those amazing eyes, in that beautiful face, shine right out at you. She's not swamped by all that strong colour, she's broadcast by it.
How does that work? It's because each of the three colours is an interesting shade of a primary, with equal weight of tone, making them perfectly balanced as a group.
And here's another little detail of colour science here: her fabulous scarlet lips (which really are the finishing touch for me) even out the fact that the red is represented over less surface area in the mix, just on the bag. Whereas the blue and the yellow each have more real estate to make their point.
The lipstick reminds the eye of the red of the bag again, when it comes back up to her face - which is where it will have started, because we're humans and we look at faces first (even pervy men who look at bosoms very quickly after, and naughty girls who glance down at crotches).
Look back at the picture and notice how your eye moves round it. It will hit the face first - to find out who you're looking at, because faces are the most distinguishing of human characteristics - then it will slide down the vertical snake of her side ponytail to the blue arm and all the way down the coat until the red bag attracts it over to the right, across the yellow, when the strong vertical crease will take it up again to the face and the red lippie.
Really, that's how much work colour can do for you and why it has such power to make - or break - a look.
I'm not making all this up on the spot here. I did history of art at uni and it's something you learn about in great detail. How Titian would compose all his paintings according to rigorous underlying structures of shape and colour that kept the eye moving around the painting as exactly as he wanted it to.
It really adds something to gawping at endless altar pieces in Venice (when you are secretly longing to sit down somewhere nice with an Aperol spritz or three) when you've got all that to consider. There's always a big triangle in there with the point at the top, with other triangles working their eye-travelling magic within in it.
There's one of those triangles here, with her lips at the apex, the red bag and the bottom of the yellow dress the two lower points. That's why it's so clever to have the nude shoe (especially as they are madly pointy and divine).
Look at the picture again and imagine red shoes there. The eye would go down the body red, red, red and stop. It wouldn't come up again. And that, grasshopper, is why matchy matchy doesn't work.
It's not just because it's cringey, unimaginative and obvious, there's a scientific reason. Matchy matchy has a deadening effect, because the eye comes to an abrupt halt - and when the eye does that, the brain loses interest (and goes off looking for the next starlet).
Which all goes to prove - there's a lot more to style than shopping.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - The St. Johns River Alliance will attempt to establish the St. Johns River as a state-designated paddling trail or blueway.
The application will be filed in the summer and reviewed at the September meeting of the Florida Greenways and Trails Council, according to a news release.
Officials said the 47 state-designated paddling trails raise environmental awareness, create a sense of place, promote good health through outdoor recreation and boost eco-tourism.
Among the 47 trails already included in the state-designated trails are two along the St. Johns tributaries.
The blueway designation, along with the St. Johns River specialty license plate, would increase visibility for the St. Johns River as an important Florida recreational, historical and environmental resource, officials said.
"The proposed St. Johns blueway designation will be an important economic development engine for the communities along the river," Alliance Chair and St. Johns County Commissioner Cyndi Stevenson said in a release. "Nature-based tourism supports many river-based businesses and jobs."
The St. Johns River is the longest river in Florida, stretching 310 miles from Vero Beach to Jacksonville

5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"Best Episode Yet!!!!"
I really liked this episode.
A bit different than the rest, there are several funny points here, Wilson is a good character....
And c'mon, a title that says "the dog king" is interesting in a space theme book. What is really good in this series is how everyone keeps on pointing the blame and faluts toward Wilson.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Delightful Short Story"
In my opinion, this book is the only standalone story in this series since The B-Team (first episode). It is clever and humorous, yet within the realm of The Human Division sci-fi background. I would definitely recommend this for a light 58-minute listen!
I'm a big fan of SF/F/Horror, and all things in between and out.
"Wondering if This Series is For You?"
If you've been keeping an eye on this series, but haven't been sure whether to give it a shot or not, this is the episode for you. It's under an hour long, filled with fun SF stuff, humor, dog-eating alien plants (relax, it's totally fine), and completely self-contained, and as entertaining as you'd expect from Scalzi.
I personally found it to be the right balance of ridiculous SF fun at the ideal length. For less than a dollar, it's hard to beat.

"This one is just OK __________________________ 😱"
5 stars is great.
4 stars is good.
3 stars is OK.
In this short story Scalzi doesn't have time to build his same great and scintillating character dialogue. Still worth the listen. 😱
"Unexpectedly Hilarious"
Creative story line, lotsa heart, my favorite episode so far.
The overall story continues straight through this lighthearted fun sideline.
"Like detective stories but not Sci Fi?"
Reminds me of the short stories/novellas written in the mystery/whodunnit/Ellery Queen magazines. You don't need a sci fi background to enjoy this "who dunnit" (sort of). This series is going from strength to strength in a gentle. no challenging way. Well written
"Top Notch!"
This is a very good but short story. Great narration. Kept me smiling the hole listen.
Tell us about yourself!
"One of the better parts of this series"
This short story is classic John Scalzi. Harry Wilson has one simple job to do, watch the Ambassadors dog. What could possibly go wrong? Everything of course, so Harry has to do the things no one else would think of and try to save the day or at least the dog.
"Light, Witty and Fun"
Another solid episode in Scalzi's "The Human Division" ongoing series. This one was light, witty and funny, and a lot of fun. Definitely one of the most enjoyable episodes to date. Also good if you like dogs. :)
"sci-fi with humor"
This story has a serious subject - peace in the universe- (or at least "lets have enough friends to scare off the enemies") - but the fate of a cute puppy could make or break diplomatic talks.
the real emotions and the fun elements.
I loved the narration. One man can get so many tones to make the storey seamless. I love it when one character is angry with another and I just forgot it was all being read by one person.
It takes a lot for a book to make me laugh or cry, but this one kept me interested and brought a smile once or twice.
Great series so far. I have my favourite characters but even the stories with a different focus keep me interested.
"Definitely no dog this"
O.K. its a lightweight story but such fun. The versatile and inventive Wilson is thrust into one of his most difficult positions yet - walking the ambassadors dog. Great sardonic dialogue which is brilliantly interpreted by William Dufris and worth every penny of the 79p price. Go buy and enjoy.
"Great short story"
This is a great short story, in a collection of intertwined short stories.
I will look for more title by this author.

PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team came out with a win over Big 5 rival La Salle in its last non-conference match of the season Monday night at the Tom Gola Arena. After a slow start, the Quakers defeated the Explorers, 3-1 (21-25, 25-14, 25-21, 25-21).
The Red and Blue (6-6) didn't seem to be fully awake in set one against the Blue and Gold. During the set, the two teams were tied nine times with the turning point for La Salle (1-19) coming at the 8-point tie. Penn was able to tie the score two times after thatbut could never capture the lead and fell, 25-21.
Reenergized, the Quakers began second set with the first two points andmaintained the lead until the last point scored.
Penn gradually increased its lead and really put the pedal to the metal on a six-point run that started with a kill by sophomore Alex Caldwell to make the score 17-11. Caldwell went behind the line and served an ace, withthe next point resulting from an attack error by Explorer Jennifer Whelan. Freshman Arielle Winfield committed a kill for the fourth point, which was followed by two more attack errors from Explorer Rachel Finkbeiner. The score was 22-11, and the deficit was too much to handle for the Blue and Gold, who fell 25-14.
Sets three and four ended with the same score, 25-21, in favor of Penn.
The third set was propelled for the Quakers after a ball handling error by Explorer Michelle Healy. Four points later, the Red and Blue were up 6-2. The somewhat cushy lead slowlydiminished as the Blue and Gold refused to give up. After a La Salle timeout, the score was tied at 21, but the Quakers went on to claim the next four points for the win.
Penn was down 8-3 in the fourth set, after La Salle gained three points in a row and then followed it with four more. The Red and Blue called a timeout, but the Explorers seemed determined and snagged a few more points, 10-4. The Quakers snapped out of their daydream and went for six straight points to tie the score at 10. Winfield claimed two points with kills, as did senior captaion Kristen Etterbeek. The other two points were won off of attack errors by Explorers Michelle Healy and Jennifer Whelan. La Salle grabbed one more point before Penn went on its longest point streak of the season. Eight points in a row pushed the Quakers' lead to 18-11, which was enough cushion for them to claim the set and end the match, 3-1.
Etterbeek led the team in kills with 14 and was followed by Winfield with 10. For the defense, senior captain Dani Shepherd led the team in digs with 20. Etterbeek (16) and sophomore Alexis Genske (13) also cracked double digits.

This mousse reminds me of a super light key lime pie filling. It is tangy and just a touch sweet. The mousse is equally as tasty made with just lemons or limes, but I thought the combination gave it a more complex flavor, that tastes like fragrant key limes. The strawberries lend a perfect balance of flavor and texture to the summery dessert.
Lemon-Lime Mousse
Makes: 8 servings
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Level: multiple steps, but all of them are easy
For the mousse:
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup juice (lemons and/or limes)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the strawberries:
1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced thin
1/4 cup sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur
To make the mousse:
Make a lemon curd: In a non-reactive saucepan whisk together 4 eggs, 4 yolks (reserve the 4 egg whites), 3/4 cup sugar, salt, juice, and zest. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
The lemon curd is done when it is as thick as pudding and coats the back of a spoon or spatula.
Press through a fine mesh strainer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the lemon curd is cool. Can be made a day or two ahead.
Whip the egg whites and remaining sugar until they reach stiff peaks.
Add 1/3 of the whites to the chilled lemon curd and mix to lighted the texture of the curd. Gently fold the remaining whites in.
Whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract, until stiff peaks.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the lemon mousse.
Fold just until the cream is smoothly incorporated.
Place the mousse into a piping bag and fill the jars evenly.
To make the strawberries:
Start with very fresh and sweet berries. If they aren't as sweet as you like, you can add more sugar, or less if they are very ripe.
Mix the berries, sugar and liqueur in a bowl. Let the berries sit for at least 30 minutes, so they release some of their juices. Can be made several hours in advance.
Spoon the berries over the mousse.
They can be served immediately or refrigerated for several hours.

Manju's Books
Classic Indian Recipes
From Rich Lamb to Indian Cardamom Biscuits, Classic Indian Recipes is a collection of 75 signature dishes which epitomise regional Indian cuisine. Manju says that there is no such thing as 'Indian cuisine' but rather there are various cuisines of India, and this is reflected in the dishes. They come from various parts of India. Some are unusual and many are familiar. But one thing that is common amongst all the recipes is the techniques Manju uses to prepare the dishes. The methods are simple and easy to follow and the ingredients should be accessible and widely available. The hardback book has a traditional feel with food photography that is real and fresh.
Easy Indian Cookbook New Version
This is the paperback version of my latest cookbook published by Duncan Baird Publishers. With over a 100 recipes, there are menu ideas and tips to make Indian cooking as easy as possible. The first part of the book explains in straightforward terms about the ingredients and the methods used in preparing Indian dishes. The book is also available in several languages in many countries including India. From Manju's Quick Curry Paste to one of my favourites a Vegetable Biryani, there's something spicy for everyone who wants to add a little jazz to their lives.
Easy Indian Cookbook
In this book Manju has a range of easy Indian recipes. The interesting thing about this book is that it also includes a music CD which you can play while you cook! It's a kind of sound therapy to encourage people back into the kitchens and to make cooking a more pleasurable experience, so my favourite track 'Firestarter' by Prodigy wont be included.
India With Passion
In this book Manju specialises in simple home cooking, and so all of her recipes are authentic and yet easy to prepare. She travelled widely in India to research the latest home cooking, gleaning ideas from takeaway food stalls as well as the kitchens of cooks, friends and family.
The book contains fabulous location photography by award-winning Jason Lowe as well as studio shots of Manju's recipes.
Brit Spice
With Manju's first book she has created a whole new concept of cooking Indian food at home. The result is Brit-Indi cuisine, combining British ingredients with Indian spices. Find out how to rustle up Manju's favourite Indian meals using ingredients such as bread, bacon and baked beans. The key to the recipes is that they are incredibly quick and easy to make.
Manju gives timings at the start of each one to show that an Indian meal can be made at home in literally 15 minutes. Quicker than a trip to the local takeaway!

Topic: FDA Webinar: Biosimilar Biological Products after thought
Hi, Lainy,
Thanks for your compliment. Actually Eli is doing most of the work. I just join him to add a little that I know.
Have you write anything on the here about your adventure with the GrandKids?
I cannot find any.
I have just finished A FDA webinar about biosimilars vs biologics . they talked about interchangeability and substitutions. and the passage of the Biologics User Fee Act of 2012(BsUFA); Well let me put it in this way, the only thing I get out from the webinar is that ,if the biologics(ie:MoAb,small molecular proteins) is not on the substitution list,the insurance companies will NOT pay for the substitution or the interchangeability if no clinical data proof of the usefulness of the substitution.But where is the list and how I can get a copy for this message board?;I guest I have to email to the presenter.The people who called in asking completely different questions like co-enzyme Q ,Spanish translation patient package insert(PPI);why USA is slow in catching up of the substitution policy as compare to EUROPE? I think they are talking about more on the cosmetics side or OTC drugs in the FDA ( The food and drugs and cometics act) law than chemotherapy alone. then again,who knows.
God bless.

The Bank of England decided Thursday against injecting more new quantitative easing (QE) stimulus into the economy and voted to hold interest rates at a record low, after Britain escaped from recession.
The central bank said in a statement that its nine-member monetary policy committee (MPC) voted to hold rates at 0.50 per cent and leave its QE cash stimulus at £375 billion ($US604 billion, 467 billion euros).
The announcement means that the radical QE policy is effectively on pause after the most recent £50-billion tranche of new money was pumped out.
Minutes of the latest regular monthly meeting, to be published on November 21, will provide the reasoning behind Thursday's decisions.
"It was probably close but the decision by the MPC to hold fire on announcing further QE this month was expected," said KPMG chief economist Andrew Smith.
The European Central Bank meanwhile voted to keep eurozone borrowing costs at a record low 0.75 per cent, as it continued to assess the impact of its latest measures to fight the eurozone debt crisis.
The Bank of England had been forecast to maintain its monetary policy stance after recent data showed the economy bounced back from a double-dip recession in the third quarter of 2012, helped by the London Olympics.
Gross domestic product (GDP) rallied by 1.0 per cent in the third quarter, or three months to September, after output had contracted for the previous three quarters, recent data showed.
But growth turned positive on one-off factors, including the London 2012 Olympic Games and rebounding activity after an extra public holiday for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee in the second quarter.
"We suspect that this will prove to be a pause in the QE programme, rather than its end," cautioned Citi economist Saunders on Thursday.
"The Q3 surge in GDP largely reflected the rebound from the Queen's Jubilee plus side-effects of the Olympics."
The BoE had cut its key lending rate to the current record low level in March 2009, when it also launched its radical QE policy to pump up the British economy with hundreds of billions of pounds.
The bank raised QE by £50 billion to £375 billion in July in a fresh attempt to stimulate lending by retail banks and help prevent economic contagion from the debt crisis in the neighbouring eurozone.
Until recently, analysts had expected the Bank of England to announce an increase to its QE stimulus at the November meeting but changed tack after data showed Britain had escaped its longest double-dip recession since the 1950s.
Despite Britain's emergence from recession, a weak run of economic data has sparked concern over the fragile nature of the recovery.
Economists expressed fears over the underlying health of the economy after weak purchasing managers surveys for Britain's construction, manufacturing and services sectors in October.
"Despite last month's strong GDP figure, the UK still has problems within the manufacturing and service industries and remains vulnerable to another downturn in the eurozone," said Currencies Direct analyst Alistair Cotton.
"More QE is essential at some point over the coming months, else the BoE risk sending the UK economy into an unheralded triple-dip recession."
Under QE, the Bank of England creates cash that is used to purchase assets such as government and corporate bonds with the aim of boosting economic activity.
The BoE's main task is to use monetary policy as a tool to keep annual inflation close to a target of 2.0 per cent.
British 12-month inflation slowed close to a three-year low at 2.2 per cent in September, but many analysts warn that recent domestic energy price hikes would reverse the decline.

PHILADELPHIA - The Penn Sprint Football team tuned up for its 2013 season with a 26-12 victory its annual Alumni Game at Franklin Field on Saturday. Freshman quarterback Mike McCurty threw for 103 yards and a touchdown, while senior running back Mike Beamish ran for 92 and a score.
After a pair of punts to open the game, the Alumni struck first. The graduates started at midfield and worked their way into the red zone. Mike Bagnoli skirted 15 yards to the one-yard line and then punched it in on the next play. The Alumni led 6-0 after the missed extra point.
Penn needed just six plays to take its first lead. Beamish capped the team's first scoring drive when he scampered nine yards up the middle to put the Quakers up 7-6 with 22:02 left in the first half.
The Alumni immediately responded when the program's all-time leading receiver, Whit Shaw, hauled in a 70-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the ensuing drive. A missed two-point conversion left the Alumni up 12-7.
However, the varsity went into the locker room with the lead. With 27 seconds left in the half, Mike McCurty found Nick Longtin from eight yards out to cap a 14-play, 67-yard drive.
The second half opened in the same fashion in which the first half ended - with another varsity touchdown. It took just four plays before Keith Braccia broke free and ran 35 yards for the score and a 20-12 lead.
That score stuck until the final minutes. The Alumni were poised to tie it up and drove to the varsity 30-yard line. But a fourth-down pass was broken up in the end zone by Stu Helgeson with 6:46 to play.
The Alumni forced a punt and had another shot to drive for the tying score, but on the first play of the drive, Helgeson stepped in front of Todd Busler's pass for the game-clinching interception.
For insurance, the varsity punched it into the end zone one more time when Robert Diorio scored from six yards out with 37 seconds left.
In all, the varsity accumulated 259 yards on the ground and had three rushing touchdowns. In addition to Beamish's 92 yards, Joe Raso had 61 and Braccia finished with 56. Braccia also passed for 40 yards. Brendan Dale and Freddy Ordonez were the top receivers with three catches apiece for 41 and 40 yards, respectively.
Defensively, Diorio and Derek Shnider led the team with 5.5 tackles each. Diorio had two of the team's three sacks and Jeff Barsamian added the third. Mario del Cueto had an interception and Jack Howerton forced a fumble in the first half.
Penn officially opens the 2013 season on Friday when they head to West Point to take on Army. The home opener is Sept. 20 against Mansfield. Both are 7 p.m. kickoffs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/11/2012 (1724 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Phoenix Sinclair could have been in a safe place when she was just a toddler had Winnipeg Child and Family Services known she was spending most of her time with unchecked caregivers, not her father.
"She probably would have been brought into care if we'd known that at the time," CFS supervisor Lorna Hanson said Thursday at the inquiry into the death of the five-year-old, murdered by her mother in 2005.
The agency didn't know because the social worker assigned to the case had little contact with the family and made no attempts to contact the list of caregivers -- whose names, addresses and phone numbers were on file, the inquiry heard.
The inquiry is in its fourth week of public hearings. The province ordered it in 2011 to see if and how the child-welfare system failed Phoenix and her family.
Hanson was the CFS supervisor in charge of Delores Chief-Abigosis, the social worker who had the file on Phoenix from November 2000 until she resigned in late July 2001.
Hanson was away from her supervisor's job from June 2000 to June 2001 on medical and maternity leave. When she returned, she expected social workers were doing their jobs, maintaining contact with clients and making sure children were in a safe place, she said.
In Phoenix's case, that didn't happen.
"There is nothing to indicate what, if any, checks were done," Hanson said.
For the entire time Chief-Abigosis had the file, the social worker saw the family twice. She didn't check with people who knew them to see if the troubled young family was OK.
It wasn't. The social worker was oblivious to the family's upheaval until incidents were reported to her unit. Phoenix's parents, Samantha Kematch and Steve Sinclair, had a second baby, Echo, on April 29. Kematch left Sinclair and the children, police had been called to the home about domestic violence and concerns had been raised about Sinclair's drinking.
On July 15, 2001, Echo died of an acute respiratory infection. There was a custody dispute brewing over 15-month-old Phoenix following an ugly incident at a funeral home. There was some blood and bruising on Echo's body resulting from the autopsy Kematch accused Sinclair of causing. Police were called because of fears of violence. The chief medical examiner was contacted and explained the marks and blood weren't due to abuse but to the post-mortem, Hanson said.
Commission counsel Derek Olson asked if CFS had any plan for Phoenix and her dad after the death.
Hanson said Chief-Abigosis's notes said she would visit the family weekly -- an unrealistic plan, given all the demands on a CFS worker's time, she noted.
Hanson was right. For months, no one saw Sinclair with Phoenix. The file was unofficially closed that October. Hanson stood by the decision to close it.
It was not a high-risk situation, she said. Even though a toddler was involved, there was a concern Kematch -- the less stable of the two parents -- would try to take Phoenix, and there was the unresolved issue of Sinclair's drinking. Just because he'd battled booze in the past didn't mean he could never be a parent, Hanson said.
"There was no indication Steve was making bad decisions," she said. "... There seemed to be appropriate supports in place."
CFS officially closed the file in March 2002.
