Dogged by alleged affair. Snoho ex quits
Updated 10:05 am, Thursday, February 21, 2013
Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon announced Thursday he is resigning from his post at the end of May following months of controversy over an alleged affair and use of staff for inappropriate activities.
Reardon, who was elected to a third term in 2011, made the unexpected announcement at a breakfast meeting in which he delivered the annual "state of the county" address. Reardon also called for an independent investigation of himself and his staff.
He later confirmed his resignation through a news release.
He said he has been the target of allegations since the last election campaign, and made the decision to resign due to the "emotional and financial toll these relentless attacks have taken on my wife, my family and me."
Latest videos
"My wife and I have been required to spend tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees in order to defend against false and scurrilous allegations," he said. "These false allegations have also taken a tremendous toll on my marriage and our family life."
"Enough is enough," he said.
During his term as the county's top executive official, Reardon has been accused of using taxpayer's money for out-of-town trysts with a woman who said she was Reardon's mistress, off and on, for the last six years.
A Washington State Patrol investigation into those accusations produced a 13,000-page investigative report that ultimately found only one questionable charge - an unaccounted $6 cab fare.
Afterward, the alleged mistress at the center of the affair, Snohomish County employee Tami Dutton, said the investigation didn't go far enough.
Then came disclosures about links between Reardon staffers and public records requests and other actions targeting the executive's political opponents.
The Snohomish County Council voted unanimously this week to remove Reardon's control of operation of the county's computers and other technology after those disclosures.
Reardon also was the target of two recall petitions that were ultimately were dismissed by the courts. He said Thursday he had learned that a third recall petition was in the works.
State Rep. Mike Hope, who ran against Reardon in the 2011 election, said he was "quite shocked" to hear about Reardon's resignation, but called it a "good step in the right direction for Snohomish County."
Hope said he believes the recent revelations about Reardon's staff "digging up dirt" on political opponents was the last straw that led to his decision.
"Over the last few days, some of the things I've read about with some of his staff, you know, working and digging up dirt and using it as a way to intimidate and harass people, and I think that's probably what led to this," Hope said.

--Tameria Greene
The girl was found dead Dec. 30, 2012, at the Martin Luther King Apartments in the 2200 block of E. Larned Street in Detroit. She had been stabbed in the chest.

Timo Glock: "Abu Dhabi is a special race. It's like a night race but with the added factor of starting the race in full daylight, but being dark by the time we finish. So it's something different and very impressive to be out on the track when the light is changing and the track is fully lit at the end. Technically it's a nice track. We have some good experience here across the whole team, but of course things change from year to year, so we still have to do our homework to get up to speed. Naturally I'm hoping for a better race so we can all really enjoy the experience and set ourselves up for the last few races of the season."
Charles Pic: "Abu Dhabi is a circuit I love to drive at and a racing destination I really enjoy. After a few days of training and fun with the team, I can't wait to start running here on Friday. I will take over the car from FP2 for the rest of the weekend and I will be very focused on picking up from a great race for me in India. If we can perform at least as well as we did there on race day, I will be happy, but the wider objective continues to be to catch up to Caterham, which is now within our sights. We also need to work on our preparation on Friday and Saturday as we need that improvement to put us in the best possible position for the race. It's a tough track technically and also we have the factor of the heat and the track direction, but by the time we start racing we will be used to both. I'm looking forward to another great performance for the team."
John Booth, Team Principal: "Abu Dhabi is a race we all enjoy, so despite it being another tough back-to-back for the team, we arrived here full of enthusiasm after a very positive race in India. Everyone is well-rested - the team having enjoyed a bit of relaxation time with the drivers - so we now turn our attentions to the hard work ahead this weekend. It's a very demanding and technically interesting track and of course there is the added factor of the fierce heat. Our first priority will be to ensure a better start to the weekend than we experienced at New Delhi; it all came good on race day for Charles but we need to do a better job on Friday and in qualifying to put us in the best possible position on Sunday. We welcome Max Chilton to the car for FP1 and we will be interested to see how he performs at a track he knows well. Thereafter, Charles will be back in the car and helping us towards our overall objective, which is now a familiar story - competing with Caterham and maintaining our current advantage over them in the Constructors' Championship."

1000 Facials Echo - Echo satisfying the cock
The moment this one starts off you can already tell our man is excited to be working with Echo Vibe today! He starts saying how great a cocksucker Echo is and she tries to humbly tell you that she it out of practice don't believe her she is flat out lying! This whore is never out of practice when it comes to dick sucking! In only a few moments she has this rock hard guy as she slams her face into his lap gliding her tongue ring along the underside of his shaft. He grabs a hold of her head and pulls her face down harder as he pumps her skull with his hips just the way she likes it! On her belly nuzzling his ballsack with her nose she starts slapping his meat against her tongue and sniffing it like an animal! That's when the serious hardcore kicks in as he puts her on her knees with her hands behind her back so he can force his shlong down her throat and pop the inside of her cheeks with his cock in jawbreaker position! He even puts his foot on the bed with her kneeling under him so he can get better leverage to powerfuck her head with! Sure she starts to cough up some throat milk but she understands that this is not about her being comfortable or clean. This is about fishhooking her face with both hands so we can bone her mouth and make her lick our asshole for a while! Echo knows better than to annoy us with her feelings her job is to catch loads and it's a job she does rather well! Few girls smile the way Echo does when you spew in their eyes!-

>Off the Beaten Path>Do You Eat Meat?
Hip Redux
Love the chicken coop, PDG!
I haven't had meat in 20 years. I agree with the ethical reasons for not eating it, but mainly I just don't enjoy it, and when I used to eat it I felt like garbage.
Yes. However, I come from a long line of farmers (my generation is the first without a farmer in it) and know there is a lot of misinformation out there. The beef we get comes from a local butcher, and the cows around here (Ontario, Canada) spend their summers grazing contentedly (with the exception of a drought a few years ago, when keeping them out was a death sentence). The chicken is free-range. The bacon...well, I don't know, but it tastes darn good!
MTA: If you want to start on corn and soy, two common fillers in our food, my uncle wasn't able to reproduce because the chemicals killed his sperm. I kid you not. He and his wife are now incredibly jealous of those with kids.
'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher
"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
Seems like I am the outsider here but I EAT MEAT and I do not care where or how it gets to me. I do not talk trash on vegans or anything, I think you should do what you feel is right. I eat only a tiny bit of pork ( bacon or bologna maybe ) no pork chops or ham or other thick cuts. I do not eat fish. Only chicken beef or turkey usually, and its hot dogs, bologna, or other crappy stuff usually. I know all the horror stories about this kind of food but I do not care because I can get a pound of meat for 99 cents this way. When I get more money I will be more choosy with what I consume. for now, it is a economical thing.

Operation Jack Marathon 12/26/13 3:40.34
I do each the occasional piece of meat but I was a vegetarian for quite awhile. I've never really gotten the ethical reasons for not eating meat altogether though. It seems like every individual draws a arbitrary line of what they will or will not eat [i.e.: I'll eat meat without faces, but not with faces; I won't eat chicken but I will eat processed sugar (which is often processed with animal bones); I will only eat seafood; etc.]. Arbitrariness and ethics don't seem to mix well to me because shouldn't ethics have some sort of principled basis behind them? Arbitrariness necessitates a lack of principled basis...
Also, there have been studies that show that plants communicate with each other, recognize and help plants in their "family" (same strain), etc. What exactly would be the distinction between a plant and i.e. a clam?
But, I support any individual decision, it is just when people make universal claims of what is ethical/unethical; right/wrong; etc. that it bothers me at all.
Seems like I am the outsider here but I EAT MEAT and I do not care where or how it gets to me. I do not talk trash on vegans or anything, I think you should do what you feel is right.
Thank you. I'm still working on it, but it's getting there. Today I'm putting up the hardware cloth so the little chickies can roam around. For the moment, they're confined to the nesting room, but at least it's spacious.
Funny, PDG is a acronym we use at work... I guess I should pay closer attention to what my fingers are automatically typing :P

Poor baby
I don't eat meat and haven't for the last 38 years. I wish I could say it was out of concern for what the animals go through, but if that were the case, I'd give up dairy. I don't eat dead animals because it's abhorrent to me.

Ryan White and Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
Ryan White and Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
As it was in the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, gay and bisexual men (men who have sex with men, MSM) comprise the majority of HIV/AIDS cases in the U.S., representing over half of those infected with HIV/AIDS. MSM represent about 47% of clients served by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (2014 data).
About two-thirds of new HIV infections in the U.S. each year are among MSM. The impact is heaviest on African American MSM. Get the latest facts on HIV/AIDS and MSM (September 2016).
National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is September 27. Awareness day activities focus on testing and prevention, engagement in care for those who are infected, and battling stigma and homophobia.
Ryan White Care Makes a Difference
MSM who get care from the RWHAP experience relatively high HIV health outcomes. According to 2014 HRSA RSR client level data report, among RWHAP clients:
- Retention in care for MSM (79.4%) was consistent with the national RWHAP average (80.4%) and with the average for men overall (79.6%).
- Viral Suppression for MSM (82.8%) was slightly higher than the national RWHAP average (81.4%) and was relatively consistent with the average for men overall (82.1%). Viral Suppression was generally high among MSM across racial/ethnic subpopulations. However, the figure was 75.3% among black/African American MSM.
HRSA TA/Training Targeting Black MSM
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau has a number of initiatives underway to enhance access to HIV care for black gay/bisexual men, presented in the form of engagement in care best practices, health literacy and more. Among these is the Center for Engaging Black MSM Across the Care Continuum and its two online platforms of models of care: His Health and Well Versed.
See the TARGET Center topic page on men who have sex with men.
Other Initiatives
HRSA has funded other TA/training projects that address MSM and other populations include: Building Care/Prevention Capacity: HIV Care Continuum in Southern Metro Areas; Improving Access to Care Using Community Health Workers Increase Access to Health Care Coverage & Improve Health Literacy; and Leadership Training for People of Color Living with HIV. In addition, a SPNS Initiative seeks to use social media to improve care engagement across the HIV Care Continuum.

(Editor's note: This is the final installment in our "Winning the Card Game" series. Dana Norman and Michele Rothberg acquired discount greeting card store Card$mart in June 2011. They agreed to let TheStreet follow them for one year as they experience the ups and downs of running a business. Based on advice from their accountant, the owners have declined to share revenue and profit figures.) NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's easy to assume that small businesses are beleaguered, but not all are having trouble. And while worries over the effects of higher taxes, federal-spending cuts and Obamacare are certainly no small potatoes, not every small business is expecting the worst in 2013. Greeting card store Card$mart, located in Plainview, N.Y., is optimistic about the store's opportunities next year. Since January 2012, "we have increased sales probably by 15%," co-owner Dana Norman says. And while Card$mart's year-end financials have not been tallied yet, she is confident the store made a profit. Earlier this year, the partners were able to stop adding any of their own investments to the business and let growing sales take care of inventory and payroll, among other expenses, a huge relief, Norman says. >>>Winning the Card Game: Month 1

>>>Behind the Scenes at a Small Biz: March Means Mega Money
>>>Behind the Scenes at a Small Biz: In April, the Postman Rings Card$mart licenses its name from Designer Greetings, which is also the vendor of the "50% off" line of cards the store sells. Yet the partners are not franchisees -- they do not pay franchise fees or royalties to Designer Greetings. Norman and co-owner Michele Rothberg are required to carry the Designer Greetings 50%-off card line, but can also sell other items and cards of their choice. Designer Greetings has declined to disclose how many independent retailers license the Card$mart name. After struggling in November due to Hurricane Sandy, December was another good month. Preliminary sales rose between 10% and 20% over the prior December, Norman says. "People like what they see and the reputation is changing. We really had a spectacular December," despite having an abundance of card inventory left over, she says. "I prefer that, because it irked me when we didn't have enough" cards for last-minute customers, she adds. This year they ordered a larger amount of card inventory, of which the leftovers they plan to keep for next year, while boxed cards will be on sale at significantly reduced prices. Norman and Rothberg have been able to carve out a niche within the greeting-card industry. They have become known for their unique giftware and other non-card merchandise.

Generic competition, charges cut Merck Q4 profit (Update)February 1, 2013 by Linda A. Johnson in Medicine & Health / Other
Merck & Co.'s fourth-quarter profit fell 7 percent because of hits from generic competition and one-time charges, and the company pushed back plans to seek approval of a key experimental osteoporosis drug.
The quarterly results beat Wall Street expectations, but Merck shares fell in premarket trading Friday as investors learned Merck is reviewing safety and efficacy data from a crucial late-stage patient test of odanacatib.
During a morning conference call with analysts, Merck said that instead of applying for approval of odanacatib in the first half of this year, it won't do so until 2014. That will allow Merck time to finish an extension of an odanacatib study that includes about 8,200 women, so that Merck can also submit those longer-term results to regulators—apparently a strategy to improve chances the drug will be approved.
In early trading, Merck shares fell $1.42, or 3.3 percent, to $41.83.
The world's third-biggest drugmaker by revenue said net income was $1.4 billion, or 46 cents per share, down from $1.51 billion, or 49 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time restructuring and acquisition charges totaling $1.14 billion, net income was $2.54 billion, or 83 cents per share, 2 cents more than analysts polled by research provider FactSet were expecting.
The maker of Januvia and other diabetes pills says revenue totaled $11.74 billion, down 5 percent from 2011's fourth quarter. Analysts expected $11.47 billion.
The sales drop was due to generic competition for asthma and allergy drug Singulair, which had brought Merck about $5.5 billion in annual sales until its U.S. patent expired in August, as well as for blood pressure medicines Cozaar and Hyzaar.
"Merck did have a very strong fourth quarter and a good year overall," CEO Kenneth Frazier told the analysts.
He said that despite the generic competition, the company expected to keep revenue this year at about the same level as last year's $47.27 billion.
Analysts on the conference call repeatedly asked exactly why Merck was changing its plans for odanacatib, and whether the data showed a serious risk that could block approval of the drug, which is viewed as a potential blockbuster. Company executives declined to give details.
"We continue to believe in the potential of this drug to meet the unmet needs of people with osteoporosis," CEO Kenneth Frazier told the analysts.
He noted that most women with osteoporosis aren't being treated with medication, and about a quarter of patients find they can't tolerate side effects of osteoporosis drugs in an older class called bisphosphonates, including heartburn, nausea, diarrhea and joint pain and swelling. Merck's Fosamax, which has had generic competition for four years, was the first drug in that class and had been the top seller.
Along with the weak global economy and government health programs in many countries trying to rein in spending, Merck has been hurt by generic rivals to what had been its top seller. Singulair, which treats asthma and allergies, lost patent protection in the U.S. in early August. In the last quarter, its global sales nosedived 67 percent to $480 million.
That pulled down total prescription drug sales by 6 percent, to $10.09 billion. Most of Merck's other big drugs produced higher sales, led by the Januvia Type 2 diabetes drug, up 18 percent to $1.13 billion, and Janumet, a diabetes combo pill, up 17 percent to $452 million.
Cholesterol-lowering drug Zetia posted a 6 percent increase in sales to $676 million, and sales jumped 61 percent to $442 million for Gardasil a vaccine against sexually transmitted cancers.
Merck's smaller divisions saw increased sales, however. Veterinary medicine sales edged up 3 percent to $898 billion. Sales of consumer health products such as Dr. Scholl's foot care products climbed 9 percent to $395 million.
Merck, based in New Jersey, forecast 2013 earnings per share of $3.60 to $3.70, excluding charges. Analysts were expecting $3.68 per share.
For the full year, Merck reported net income of $6.66 billion, or $2.16 per share, up from $6.27 billion, or $2.02 per share. But sales in 2012 dipped nearly 2 percent, to $47.27 billion.

If you can't afford a pretty Moog Etherwave Plus ($519) and you still want to sound like Portishead (I know it wasn't a real Theramin) maybe Thereminator (iTunes link) for the iPhone will do the trick for you. It's $3 and has over 200 five star ratings.
"The theremin, originally known as the aetherphone / etherophone or termenvox / thereminvox is an early electronic musical instrument controlled without contact from the player. It is named after its Russian inventor, Professor Léon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928. The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker." – Wikipedia.org

34When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest? 37He said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38This is the greatest and first commandment. 39And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them this question: 42What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he? They said to him, The son of David. 43He said to them, How is it then that David by the Spirit calls him Lord, saying, 44The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet? 45If David thus calls him Lord, how can he be his son? 46No one was able to give him an answer, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

On the way to work this morning, the day before the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, I heard an advertisement on the radio for a grocery store chain called Trader Joe's. Don't get me wrong, I like the store, and we shop there occasionally. This morning they were advertising green beans, just in time for Thanksgiving dinners. Not ordinary green beans, mind you, but the long, tapered kind "found in quality restaurants" and imported from France.
What really did it for me was this line:
"In France, they call these beans haricots verts."
Excuse me? AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! For those unfamiliar with French, that translates literally as "beans green." What else would they call them?
Read it for yourself at the bottom of page 7 of their flyer.
Where are you, John? I hope you didn't write that one!
Gail, however, would like their Holiday Tip, also on page 7:
Whilst in the throes of the holiday hustle bustle, treat yourself to a little something (read: chocolate).
Maybe I'd better go find myself some cocoa . . .

|The Billfish Diva
New Orleans native Kerri Burrus takes big-game angling to the small screen in high style.
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — March 2003
Kerri Burrus (a.k.a. Billfishgirl) has been a regular on ESPN2's Billfishing Xtreme Release League (BXRL) tournament and same-named TV show for the last two seasons, as well as a featured angler on Capt. Norm Isaacs' TV show Big Game Fishing the World. The New Orleans native holds numerous billfishing titles and has several tournament wins, including being named the World Billfish Series (WBS) top lady angler for three straight years. (She only went pro four years ago.) In addition to becoming a TV personality, Burrus has a Web site (www.billfishgirl.com) that profiles her angling accomplishments, a swimsuit calendar, and a legion of fans that e-mail her regularly for fishing advice, thank you's, and just to say hi. However, if the bite's on, she may be a little late getting back to those e-mails, because fishing is her passion. Burrus' enthusiasm for the sport can be seen in her serendipitous road to the top of the big-game leader board.
From the age of seven, Burrus fished offshore on her family's Hatterases, which ranged from 41 to 72 feet over the years, but as an adult she decided to make the move from recreational angler to professional. She wanted to fish with--and against--the best. So Burrus packed her bags in the fall of 1998 and headed out to compete in the six-figure-plus Bisbee Black & Blue Marlin Jackpot Tournament out of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She arrived in Cabo without a boat or crew and walked the docks hoping to find a charter. The fisherman, a title she wears proudly, found a willing captain and registered to fish, unaware that she would catapult from solo angler to top professional and television celebrity. And it all began with, "hello."
"I was walking around the captains' meeting [at Bisbees], and there's around 1,000 anglers," remembers Burrus. Not knowing anyone, she felt alone in the crowd until she spotted Isaacs. "He's the only person I recognized," she adds. She introduced herself, and Isaacs was intrigued by her story. He asked if she would mind having a camera onboard while she competed. Burrus agreed, and a friendship and her TV celebrity were born. She appeared several times on Isaacs' show and improved her stature in the professional angling arena by competing in the WBS.
"The WBS is a tour like the PGA," Burrus explains. In each WBS-sanctioned tournament, every fish you catch is worth points, and the most points wins. In that first Bisbee tournament, Burrus caught and released a striped marlin and acquired 450 points. She didn't win the tourney, but these would be far from her last WBS points. In fact, when the curtain closed on the 1999, 2000, and 2001 WBS seasons, Burrus found herself the lady angler ace each time. Not only had she gone pro, but she had also pulled a top-spot hat trick. (At presstime, the 2002 WBS results were still being tallied.)

Thousands of Bananas
As sun-seekers head to the beaches this summer, they may notice that it's not just seashells and sand castles dotting the shorelines. Debris carried on ocean currents washes up on beaches all over the world. Most of the marine debris, such as plastic bags, bottles and cans are from land-based sources, but some debris also come from ocean-based sources, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These could include vessels that accidentally lose cargo due to inclement weather or natural events such as hurricanes and tsunamis carrying debris into the marine environment. In April 2012, for example, the Associated Press reported that a Harley-Davidson motorcycle lost in the 2011 Japanese tsunami washed up on a Canadian island 4,000 miles away. Here, we take a look at other strange things (and animals) that have washed up on shorelines around the world.
In 2007, residents of the Dutch North Sea island of Terschelling, located 70 miles north of Amsterdam, went bananas (literally) when thousands of bananas washed ashore after at least six containers of the fruit fell off a cargo ship in a storm and at least one burst open, according to USA Today. Bunches of the unripe fruit from Cuba also washed up on neighboring Amerland Island. It isn't clear what happened to the bananas that littered the beach, although at the time, residents suggested sending most of the fruit to local zoos.

UPDATE: Abbotsford police investigate potential homicide
In the driveway of the two-storey home in the quiet Abbotsford cul de sac is a hockey net.
The yard is neatly manicured, and a string of small white Christmas lights is strung across the eavestrough of the garage.
A Ford F-150 X-Metal pickup is parked in the driveway.
It appears to be the typical family home in a nice residential neighborhood, but on Wednesday night it proved to be something else.
The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced on Thursday morning that they were investigating a possible homicide at the residence.
Police went to the home in the 34800 block of Cassiar Court – in the McKee area of Abbotsford – after receiving a call at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday from a family member who asked them to check on the well-being of a female resident.When they arrived, they found a deceased 40-year-old woman. A 40-year-old man in the home was arrested and remains in custody.
APD Const. Ian MacDonald, speaking to reporters at the scene Thursday morning, confirmed that the two people involved had previously been in a relationship.
"We're dealing with a tragedy, and we're dealing with a case of domestic violence … This is a nice neighbourhood in a nice community, but that's the way domestic violence occurs; sometimes it's behind closed doors," he said.
The Abbotsford News has learned that the victim was Leanne Marie Friesen (photo below).
A man who was a friend of Leanne's told the Abbotsford News that she had separated from her husband, Jeff Wayne Friesen, a few months ago. Leanne remained in their home, and Jeff moved in with his parents.
The source said the couple had met in either Kelowna or Vernon, and had been married since about 2000.
Jeff is a contractor, and Leanne ran a home-cleaning business, he said.
The man described Leanne as "bubbly."
"She was a really nice girl," he said.
The couple had two children together, ages 10 and 13, and MacDonald said the kids were in the home at the time of the incident.
"I have been reassured they were not present for the discovery of the deceased," he said.
IHIT, which was called to the scene by the APD at about midnight, is now leading the investigation. Spokesman Cpl. Adam MacIntosh said investigators will remain on the site for another day or two to gather evidence, and an autopsy will be performed on the victim.
Other details, including the cause of death, were not being released.
"This incident represents a tragic loss of life, and we wish to extend condolences to friends and family of the victim," MacDonald said.
This is Abbotsford's first homicide of the year.

THE destiny of the Dorset Premier League title remains in the hands of Portland United despite Saturday's defeat by Wareham Rangers.
It was a hugely frustrating afternoon for the Blues, who had Jamie Beasley sent off in the second half, as they created numerous chances but couldn't find the back of the net.
Their opponents took the lead with their first effort on target in the 43rd minute, Paul Harding guiding the ball into an unguarded goal after Portland keeper Ashley Weeks had failed to deal with a high cross.
Try as they might, the Blues were unable to find an equaliser and, with Weymouth Reserves winning, they had to relinquish top spot in the table to the Terras – Portland could reclaim it tomorrow when they go to Tintinhull (3pm).
"It wasn't a disastrous performance," said Blues' boss Gary Bailey. "I thought we played some good football.
"But our final ball wasn't quite there and we didn't take our chances, and we were always open to the sucker-punch.
"You can't give cheap goals away like we did because then you have a mountain to climb.
"We probably dominated possession in the second half but after the sending off we had to start gambling, which is when you are susceptible.
"I can't question the commitment of my lads but when you're involved in a title run-in there is no room for off days.
"It's still in our hands. It puts pressure on the last five games but we know exactly what we've got to do and if we win all five we'll win the league.
On Beasley's red card, he added: "I can't defend that. When you're chasing a game you need all your players on the pitch."
Portland's best chance of the first half, and arguably of the whole game, fell to Antony Carlile just four minutes in.
But after he blasted over when one-on-one with the Wareham keeper, it was a catalogue of close calls for the home side.
Ross Doidge, Alex Halloran and Beasley all tried their luck, while Rangers' defender Oakley Hanger nearly sliced a cross into his own net.
Starting the second period 1-0 down following Harding's opener, Portland's task was made even more difficult when Beasley was dismissed for lashing out – Wareham also had their manager sent from the dug out later in the game for dissent.
Both teams had penalty appeals turned down and, as the Blues pushed forward desperately seeking a point, only great covering by Ross Carmichael prevented Wareham from doubling their lead.
Blues: Weeks, Smith, B Doidge, Carmichael, Whyton, Mutch (Linaker 57), McKechnie, Halloran, Carlile (Bastic 71), R Doidge, Beasley. Sub not used: Newnham

There are an estimated 3 500 species of plants in
The Kalahari
The evocative Northern Cape's Kalahari Desert evokes a picture of never ending red sand dunes, big, blue skies and undulating heat waves that descend unrelentingly on dry river beds.
Despite this immaculate wilderness, the Kalahari is not true desert, in the sense of being unable to support life. Parts of the Kalahari receive as much as 250 millimetres of rainfall, albeit erratically, throughout the year, and grasses and acacias easily support large species of antelope, hyenas, the famous black-maned lions of the desert, giraffe, warthogs, jackals and possibly the most endearing and iconic creature of the southern African deserts, the cheeky meerkat.
Namaqualand's desert flowers
The Namaqualand is famous for its stunning display of wild flowers at the beginning of the spring season. It is after the first rains that the arid desert suddenly bursts into an endless carpet of flowers, becoming a veritable ocean of colour and scent. Approximately 4 000 species of plants can be found amongst the desert flowers including the mysterious Namaqua Halfmens, and the region is known for photographic safaris.
Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape
The Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape is a remarkable mountainous desert region in the north-west of the country that is uniquely owned and managed by the Nama communities.
The Richtersveld's incredible culture and history that dates back at least 2000 years, offers interesting insights into how people have existed in this harsh landscape and as a result the area has been proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The |Ais-|Ais/Richtersveld National Park includes some of the world's richest flora and fauna and is well-known for its 4 x 4 trails.
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
The very first transfrontier park to be proclaimed in Africa, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park combines the attractions of the Gemsbok National Park in Botswana and the Kalahari Gemsbok Park in South Africa – it's an untouched wilderness that covers a staggering 3,6 million hectares. Here you will find the famous black-maned lions,
the enchanting pygmy falcons and the abundant antelope that follow century-old migration patterns through the park.
SA Astronomical Observatory
You can't visit the Northern Cape without going on a stargazing safari. The South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland is home to the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) - the largest single optical telescope in the southern hemisphere. Here the clear night skies offer you the perfect opportunity to view the stars and learn more about this place known as 'The Gateway to the Universe'.

A 'NORMAL' girl from Padiham has become a national star following a mobile phone network campaign to encourage sharing silly stuff with loved ones.
Jolie Forrest is the face of the new Three advert, set to Starship's eighties power anthem, 'We Built This City'.
It's a shared moment between five-year-old Jolie and her adorably cute pet kitten, Bronte, who perform the purrrrfect duo whilst tearing up a cul-de-sac on a pink tricycle.
Proud parents Jodie and Adam, who live in Cambridge Drive, said the whole family were enjoying the stardom five-year-old Jolie is receiving.
"It has been crazy, we knew the campaign would be massive but not like this, the phone hasn't stopped ringing. We are just a normal family from Padiham and can't believe that Jolie has become famous so quickly," said Jodie.
Following the campaign the #SingItKitty hashtag is trending on Twitter and people are sharing funny things, from funny selfies to cute animal pictures.
Auditions for the Three advertisement were open to anyone and the Jolie beat off competition from 600 others, including 200 children from Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Jodie said: "The producers said that they liked her because she was herself. Just normal, happy and comfortable and that's what Jolie is. She is always willing to entertain the family and that's what we are used to really. Her agent said that she should audition for this and it all happened so quickly.
"We were just happy that she got a second call following the audition," said Jodie, who's brother is actor Andrew Derbyshire, who has appeared in several West End musicals.
Following the release of the advert, the Padiham Green pupil's school friends gave her a huge round of applause when she returned to school.
"The head teacher Mr Dixon told me that the staff and pupils will be celebrating this week and the school has been cheering her on, it's so lovely," said Jodie.
"But she is really quite unfazed by it all and has taken it into her stride. But we are keeping her grounded, we sit around the table and do her spellings every night just like normal."
Jolie goes to regular classes at Energize dance school and BASICs theatre school, but there's no plans for any cute kittens being brought home just yet.
"Jolie wants a cat but she was told she couldn't bring Bronte home, a baby sister will be enough for her when our new baby comes in May," said Jodie.
"We are more amazed at the feedback that she is getting, people are telling us 'your daughter is fantastic'. We know she is, but to hear everybody else saying it is just fantastic."

Woman on topic
A woman is a female human and may also refer to a person's gender identity.. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause.

TEENAGE playground equipment has been given the go ahead at a recreation ground where a skate park was controversially removed last year.
A skate park on Flackwell Heath's Straight Bit Recreation Ground was removed by Chepping Wycombe Parish Council last year after complaints from residents about noise and anti-social behaviour.
And now councillors have voted to install parkour, or free running, equipment on the other side of the park – a move which has proved equally as unpopular with some residents.
The £14,000 area is paid for largely by money secured from the Local Community Partnership, but must be spent by March otherwise it will be lost.
This led to accusations that the move was rushed through by councillors without proper consultation with young people in the village.
Residents contacted the BFP to complain the chosen spot for the new equipment - near the existing outdoor gym by the bowls club - is just as near to houses as the old skate park.
Concerns were also raised about the potential for anti-social behaviour at the new hang-out and the site's poor visibility from the main road.
But councillors insist it is the best possible location, after agreeing with Wycombe District Council, police and community safety groups on the spot.
And given the time restrictions, members insisted the consultation event to coincide with the Christmas light switch-on in the village was sufficient and provided positive feedback for the project.
Parkour involves learning to navigate obstacles quickly and using the best method for jumping or climbing over them.
The equipment includes a series of bars, jumps and obstacles.
The parish council confirmed work is expected to be completed on the new park before the end of March, weather permitting.
Councillors also insist a replacement for the skate park and BMX facility is still being investigated, with a suitable location yet to be found.
See next week's BFP for more information and reaction to the decision.

THE wife of a man found hanged while on holiday in Spain told an inquest he was prone to short bouts of suicidal depression.
Blackburn businessman Graham Brookman, 64, of Pleasington Lane, was discovered on the last day of a five-week holiday at the Playa Montroig campsite in Tarragona in August.
At Blackburn Coroner's Court yesterday, coroner Michael Singleton concluded Mr Brookman had committed suicide by hanging on August 25.
Officials in Spain said Mr Brookman, the company director of Chorley-based Parkinson Bailiff Services Limited, had hanged himself using an electrical appliance cord between 6.30am and 7am.
Mr Brookman's wife, Pauline, told the inquest her husband had talked openly about suicide before.
Mr Singleton asked: "During the five-week holiday, had there been any incidents or expressions?"
Mrs Brookman replied: "No. It was the best holiday we had ever had.
"On the last evening everything was fine. Graham was playing with a hosepipe and squirting everyone.
"We went out for a meal and he was telling jokes."
Mrs Brookman said her children had wanted to sleep on the beach, so they had moved their beds out of the caravan they were staying in.
Because it was heavy, she had left her husband's inside.
She saod: "He thought we had left him out. He went into a very dark state as if he was being rejected."
When things had calmed down, Mrs Brookman said she had gone looking for her husband.
She told the inquest: "Apparently he had been back to the caravan and told our daughter he was going to hang himself, but she didn't believe him as he had said it before."

Have you ever heard the saying that the wrinkles or the lines on your face tell a story? Whether around your eyes, on your forehead, or on the corners of your smile they'll be there as we age. Could it be from smiling? Frowning? Worrying? Celebrating? Will you remember what was happening in your life during those moments?
I look back and view my stretch marks in the same way.
As a pre-teen, I noticed my first stretch mark. It laid on the lower part of my back and I couldn't stop looking at it. My mom said it was because I was growing. This made sense, I was a lot taller than a lot of my friends. And it was during this time I felt awkward and a little clumsy. Boys didn't really look at me. And I'll always remember who my first crush was.
As I continued to grow, so did the stretch marks. This time they were around my hip area. As a teenager, this pretty much stopped me from wearing swimsuits. I was very insecure, even though I was a mere 125lbs and 5'6. I don't even think I knew what the word "confident" meant at this age. I did know I didn't want to look like I did. I envied the pretty girls with the boyfriends.
In my 20's, I noticed them in my waist area. I would lose weight, gain weight, lose weight, and gain weight. And would often beat myself up when I gained a few pounds. I was in the military and I was still trying to figure out who I was. I found myself trying very hard to fit their standards. During this time, I met my amazing hubby.
Today, I have stretch marks in areas I didn't know we could get them. I'm not even going to go "there." But, I will tell you I know when they first appeared and what was going on in my life at that time. I don't hate them, in fact I embrace them. They remind me of the roads I've traveled. I'm thankful they will never go away. They tell me the story of my life.

About 15-20 years ago, I was at an antique show in downtown Chicago looking for Loetz. I saw this wonderful iridescent art glass vase in a very expensive cabinet belonging to a high end dealer. I was excited to see in person, what I was certain was Tiffany Cypriote. The dealer told me I was looking at Charles Lotton's version of Cypriote Glass. I was amazed that a contemporary artist was capable of such quality. For years afterwards I educated myself on his many styles as well as the work of his other family members. I promised myself that one day I would buy a Charles Lotton vase that was...
1) blue or mandarian red
2) cypriote decorated
The big bonus for me was this form. No knock to his usual shapes but some are just to modern for me. The classic gourd shape is reminiscent of works by Tiffany, Quezal and Steuben. And finally, the "King Tut" type decor made famous by Durand gave this vase every element I could hope for. 8" tall. Properly signed and dated 1981

An Otley man has written an account to mark the 60th anniversary of the Three Peaks Race.
This year's landmark event, which sees runners taking on a gruelling 23 mile route that includes ascents of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside, takes place on Saturday, April 26.
The race has been run every year since it began on Sunday, April 24, 1954 - with the exception of 2001, when the Foot and Mouth disease outbreak forced its cancellation.
It was started by Lancastrian Fred Bagley, a keen fell-walker and member of the Preston Harriers. Fellow fell-walking enthusiast John Burland, of Otley, didn't want the 60th anniversary to pass unheralded.
In his account of the race's history, just published in the Dalesman magazine, he writes: "it was on Sunday, April 24, 1954 that the first race was started from outside the Hill Inn, Chapel-Le-Dale.
"Over the years the event has grown to become one of the largest, if not the largest, fell race in the country. From an initial entry of six runners in 1954, with three finishing the course, it now has in excess of 900 competitors taking part, whilst turning away double that number of would-be competitors each year."
John meanwhile – who founded The Wainwright Society in honour of legendary fell-walker and guide writer Alfred Wainwright – is due to have his book about 30 walks in the Yorkshire Dales, including one at Pen-y-ghent, published later this year.

The death of a baby, at whatever stage, is profoundly saddening, all the more so because the baby's death is often very sudden. Whether the mother suffers a miscarriage, a stillbirth or the sudden death of an infant, both she and her partner are left with deep feelings of grief and sometimes guilt.
Here, we look at the services available to you in Ireland if you have had a miscarriage or a stillbirth, or have lost your baby through Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
A miscarriage can occur at any stage of a pregnancy, up until 24 weeks. The loss of a baby after 24 weeks gestation is referred to as a stillbirth. When a baby lives for only a few hours or days after birth his/her death is referred to as a neonatal death.
Miscarriage often occurs with no warning, and often no medical reason can be found why it happened. This can be very distressing - your loss can appear to have no cause and you can often be expected to get "back on your feet" very soon. Although physically you may recover from a miscarriage quite quickly, emotionally it can take much longer.
A stillbirth or neonatal death often has many causes but sometimes the cause is unknown. Parents who have spent six months and more looking forward to the birth of their baby are devastated, and may wonder if they have in some way caused the death of their baby. They may be further distressed by being asked to consent to a postmortem examination.
You may find the following information helpful:
Formerly known as "cot death", SIDS refers to the sudden death of a previously healthy baby under a year old. The grief which accompanies the death of a baby is often exacerbated by feelings of guilt, as the parents wonder if they could in some way have contributed to their baby's death. Research shows that the cause of SIDS is unknown - babies appear healthy prior to death, and SIDS cannot be prevented.
The Irish Sudden Infant Death Association (ISIDA) provides a range of support and information services, including a nationwide support helpline, a handbook of information on SIDS, a befriending service and annual memorial services for SIDS babies.

SHERIFF Hutton Bridge II's Nick Scaling hit his first century in the Hunters York & District Senior Cricket League to set up a 76-run win over Huby in division three north.
Scaling's knock of exactly 100 was backed up by newcomer Alex Ibbotson's unbeaten 42 and Mike Smith's 33 as the Bridge declared at 239-5.
Huby's reply went well to begin with as Rich Steel (46) batted well. Scaling and Danny Cass then each took two wickets as the home side fell to 163 all out with Hugh Sheddon unbeaten with 25.
With their first team dismissed for only 61, it was a bad day for Malton & Old Malton whose second string could only muster 38 to lose by 183 runs to Castleford, who made 221-6.
Sessay made 184-7 against Easingwold, but the weather prevented any further play. Martin Wass hit 48 and Ben Scaling 26.
Whitkirk's final pair denied York IV a win at Shipton Road after the hosts had made 213-7. Tom Boyle was York's batting star with 93 but his efforts were matched by team-mate Kallum Ahmed, who firstly made 41 and then grabbed 5-45.
In division three south, Pickering II lost by 65 runs to Fenner.
Fenner totalled 152-9 in their 45 overs with Adrian Boyes taking 6-21. Jon Bayes (21) was the only Pickering batsman to top the 20-run mark as they were dismissed for 87.
Runs were hard to find at New Earswick but the hosts managed to defeat Welton & Brough by four wickets thanks to the bowling combo of Paul Stimpson, with 5-26, and Andy Freeman, who had 4-17. Welton's 51 was overtaken for the loss of six wickets.
Rowntrees & Huntington gained the better of a draw against Civil Service. For Rowntrees, Tom Shaw hit 51 and Dick Shaw 39 in a total of 141-8.
Sam Dodds had 5-48 for Service, who were pegged to 130-9 by Steve Beales (3-15) and Jack Huhill (4-28).
Heworth won by two wickets at Stamford Bridge thanks to a good knock from Lee Bradshaw, who made 67 and had solid support by Salman Syed's 40.
Before tea, Stamford had posted 157-9 with Andy Healey making 33 and Andy Milner 25, but Freddie Coughlin took 5-17.
Healey then followed with 4-45 and Martin Veysey took 4-31, but could not prevent a Heworth win.
Four Cawood players were prominent in their side's five-wicket win at Bolton Percy in division four west.
Home batsman Ed Noble made 40, but James Pullein (4-22), Kieth Towndrow (3-32) and P Woodhead (3-26) had Bolton all out for 111.
S Baxter then hit 44 to negate the 3-26 return from M Ferguson.
Rowntrees & Huntington, last season's division seven champions, got off to a flying start when they won by five wickets at Tadcaster Magnet.
J Stuart made 36 in Magnet's 107 as Paul Horner grabbed 3-11. Veteran Andy Main then made 34 as Rowntrees eased home.
Entertaining Copmanthorpe, Thorp Arch & Boston Spa II gained a good result when their 151-4 was followed by 147-8.
There were half-centuries for M Knight 70 and D Gibson 50 for TABS, whose Chris Kitson then followed with 4-42.
For Copmanthorpe, R Hague made 30 while P Newton's unbeaten 36 almost clinched a win.
In division four central, Wayne Fawcett's 54 set up a 53-run win for Cawood over Huby.
Jack Wainwright (48) and Jack Hubert (49no) earned Hovingham an eight-wicket win over Civil Service, whose Ian Tessier made 60 not out in a total of 145-8.
J Arnold hit 60 to gain Copmanthorpe II a good 84-run win over New Earswick in their first game in the league.

NEXT month's Boomerang Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown is a potential target for Wiltshire-trained Toormore after last season's champion juvenile got his career back on track with an encouraging run in defeat at Glorious Goodwood.
Richard Hannon's three-year-old rounded off an unbeaten two-year-old campaign with victory in the National Stakes at the Curragh last September, but since making a winning return in the Craven Stakes, he has failed to live up to expectations this term.
Toormore was well beaten in both the 2000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and while he suffered an odds-on reverse in last week's Lennox Stakes, his neck defeat to Es Que Love was at least a step in the right direction.
Tim Palin, racing manager for owners Middleham Park Racing, said: "It was good to see him run his race. He'd been in the wilderness a little bit on his previous two runs, so it was heartening to see the real Toormore again.
"A really slowly-run seven furlongs on a tight track like Goodwood probably found him out. I think he probably underachieved about 5lb because of the way the race was run.
"I think ideally he wants a mile and there are a few options for him.
"The Celebration Mile has been mentioned, but that comes up quite quick on August 23 and he's a horse who probably prefers about a month between his races.
"He's in the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury, but I don't think he'll be going there over seven furlongs.
"The two races that jump out at you are the Boomerang Stakes (formerly Solonaway Stakes, September 13) on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown, a Group Two over a mile, and the Prix Daniel Wildenstein on Arc weekend at Longchamp.
"We might also stick in the Prix de la Foret, even though it's seven furlongs, just in case the race cuts up and the ground is soft."

THERE were no major incidents of violence or disorder in Worcester city centre following England's World Cup defeat to Italy, say police.
England lost their first game 2-1 when Mario Balotelli's winner in Brazil broke English hearts after a late, 11pm kick-off. But, during an exceptionally busy night in Worcester city centre, the defeat failed to translate into violence, disorder or anti-social behaviour beyond that of a typical Saturday night in the city.
Ed Williams, the force duty inspector with West Mercia Police, said: "It's busy in custody this morning but it's busy every Sunday morning. There were no serious significant incidents of football-related disorder or violence in the city centre which is good. Thank you to everyone for heeding the warnings and it was a shame about the result."
The West Midlands Ambulance Service put out a lengthy statement ahead of the game, urging fans to
'make sure they can remember the action, whatever the result'.
Acting Emergency Services Director, Nathan Hudson, said on Saturday: "We will have extra ambulances, response vehicles and paramedic officers on duty tonight. There will be additional staff in our emergency operations centres and our Gold co-ordination centre will be operating at headquarters.
"Unfortunately, experience tells us that we are likely to be incredibly busy with alcohol related incidents before, during and after the match."
West Mercia Police vowed to stamp down hard on a minority of trouble-makers in Worcester ahead of the big game.
England's next match is this Thursday against Uruguay which kicks off at 8pm.

A BID to rid Langport of plastic bags has been named one of the best campaigns of the past year.
Transition Langport's Plastic Bag Free Campaign made it on to The Westbourne 100 Change Opinion Awards list.
The County Gazette reported last spring on the launch of the scheme, and how Transition Langport had introduced a plastic bag recycling point at the town's Tesco supermarket.
It also carried out a survey which found 131 out of 150 shoppers in Langport wanted to get rid of plastic bags altogether.
Cara Naden, founder and co-ordinator of Transition Langport, said: "We are absolutely delighted and honoured to have made it into the Westbourne 100 most outstanding campaigns of the past 12 months.
"Our campaign sits alongside other high profile and well known organisation's campaigns like Greenpeace's Arctic Oil and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Hugh's Fish Fight.
"This demonstrates how a small rural community can make a big difference and get noticed.
"We still have a way to go for all traders to go plastic bag and packaging free but we are making good progress."

Quincy College
at the Forefront of Biotechnology & Compliance Training: New Biotechnology & Compliance Laboratory Grand Opening
Get the latest biotech news where you want it. Sign up for the
free GenePool newsletter
Quincy, MA (08/21/13) – The Quincy College Biotechnology & Compliance Program will unveil its new laboratory in Saville Hall on August 21, 2013. The Quincy College Biotechnology & Compliance Laboratory will be the main laboratory and educational space for the Biotechnology and Compliance Associate Degree Program and Certificate Program at the College.
The Quincy College Biotechnology & Compliance Laboratory was built with funding in-part of a $3 million federal grant from the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program, which promotes skills development and employment opportunities in the sciences, and a $100,000 grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, the state-funded agency tasked with implementing the state's 10-year, $1-billion Life Sciences Initiative, to train students for careers in the biotechnology industry. In addition to the Quincy College laboratory, funds are slated to assist curriculum development, purchasing equipment and supplies, hiring of new faculty members and other changes.
"Supporting innovation propels our economy forward and prepares our citizens for the 21st century global marketplace," said Governor Deval Patrick. "Our innovation economy relies on a well-educated, well-skilled workforce, and Quincy College's new Biotechnology & Compliance Laboratory will expand opportunity and grow jobs in communities throughout the Commonwealth."
"The Patrick Administration has developed and implemented a consistent, effective economic strategy that promotes government, business, and academic collaboration to help grow our innovation economy and to create economic opportunity for all," said Greg Bialecki, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development and Co-Chair of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center Board of Directors. "Quincy College's new laboratory will ensure continued development of our workforce pipeline in the life sciences sector and is a great example of what this type of active, cross-sector partnerships can achieve."
Quincy College's federal and state grant awards follow closely on the heels of the City of Quincy's initiative to bring more life sciences companies into the city, which is well-placed to be an industry hub.
"Quincy College is standing at the forefront of a great emerging sector of our economy with this Biotechnology lab, it is a great testament to the College's commitment to providing educational opportunity in fields that are in the heart of our future," said Thomas P. Koch, Mayor of the City of Quincy.
Following industry trends, the College's Biotechnology and Compliance Program will prepare students with the skills required to immediately enter the biomanufacturing industry in areas of the biotech sector where there is a pressing need for workers. Furthermore, Quincy College will be the first college to integrate a virtual lab in its biomanufacturing program. This innovative on-campus training was funded in part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance initiative federal grant in which the United States Department of Labor gave the college $450,000 to develop virtual single-use biomanufacturing labs. Students will learn to program and operate the equipment on-line in preparation for hands-on training. There will be built-in breakdown scenarios where the student will need to apply problem solving skills as well as exams to test their knowledge. Additionally, all equipment images will be in 3D to enable students to better grasp their complexity.
"The opening of the Biotechnology and Compliance laboratory is the culmination of our focus on interaction with both government and private industry to provide education and training for our students that result in employment opportunities," said Peter H. Tsaffaras, J.D., President of Quincy College.
The renovated laboratories at Quincy College have been updated with new equipment that accommodates training in the emerging single-use biomanufacturing technology as well as the traditional technology. Partnerships with public workforce leaders such as the Jewish Vocational Services, South Shore Workforce Investment Board, South Coastal Career Development Administration, Boston Private Industry Council, and Boston, Quincy, and Plymouth One Stop Career Centers will address issues such as student barriers to education, including financing, college entrance skills, transportation, and English language acquisition. Other educational institutions that have partnered with Quincy College, namely Boston University and UMass Boston, will admit biotech students into bachelor degree programs to continue their studies.
"Congratulations to Quincy College on the grand opening of its new laboratory," said Dr. Susan Windham-Bannister, Ph.D., President & CEO of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center. "Institutions like Quincy College play major roles in training the next generation of our state's life sciences workforce, and they ensure that training for innovation economy jobs is inclusive and available all across the state. A key strategy of the Life Sciences Center is to use our capital dollars to enable the creation of unique resources that are available to the Massachusetts life sciences community, and Quincy College's new facility is a great example of that."
As part of the grants, Quincy College has partnered with industry leaders and workforce developers in an effort to further market the College's biotechnology programs, recruit students, and assist in placing students in internships and hiring program graduates. Key industry stakeholders include the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, the Massachusetts Biotechnology Education (MassBioEd) Foundation, Shire Human Genetic Therapies, Lonza Biologics, Xcellerex (a GE company), and Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a Takeda Company). The College's biotechnology and compliance training program was designed in conjunction with these industry advisors to ensure that program graduates make a smooth transition into the workforce.
"This is an exciting day for Quincy College. This state-of-the-art laboratory will help the College further its commitment to preparing students for success in the biotech industry," said U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. "I'm pleased grants from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center helped make this effort possible. This is a great example of how investments in education can support opportunities for students and strengthen Massachusetts' position as a global leader in life sciences, biotech research and the innovation economy."
"Massachusetts is on the cutting edge of biotechnology research and development, and Quincy College's new Biotechnology and Compliance Laboratory will be a biotech beacon for innovation and excellence," said U.S. Senator Ed Markey. "Students will receive state-of-the-art training, and Massachusetts companies will benefit from highly-skilled workers who will fuel an industry that is making huge strides in treatment for debilitating diseases. I applaud Quincy College and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center for their commitment to continuing the Bay State's leadership in the biotech sector."
