- Indiana 98, Portland 78
By ANNE M. PETERSON, AP Sports Writer
December 3, 2005
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Jermaine O'Neal scored 27 points and had 15 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season and the Indiana Pacers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 98-78 Friday night.
The Pacers were playing on the road for the fourth time in six days, but they had no trouble with the struggling Blazers, who have lost seven of nine.
Indiana trailed 22-18 to start the second quarter, but went on a 16-2 run to take a 34-24 lead on O'Neal's 18-foot jumper.
The Pacers went on to lead by as many as 28 points en route to their sixth win in eight games. It was O'Neal's first victory in Portland since he was traded from the Blazers to Indiana in 2000.
Sarunas Jasikevicius had 14 points, and Ron Artest added 12 and five rebounds for Indiana, which was coming off a 109-91 loss to Phoenix on Wednesday night -- a game the Pacers never led.
The Blazers were back at home after going 2-5 on an East Coast road swing, including losses in their last two games.
Jarrett Jack came of the bench to lead the Blazers with 15 points. Zach Randolph, averaging 18.6 points and 9.8 rebounds going in, had 12 points and two rebounds against the Pacers.
The Blazers drafted O'Neal out of high school in the first round in 1996. He played four seasons with Portland.
O'Neal had a shoulder injury and didn't play last season when the Pacers beat the Blazers 106-97 at the Rose Garden. The Pacers were winless in their previous four visits to Portland with O'Neal.
Disgruntled Blazers reserve forward Ruben Patterson remained on the team's inactive list Friday, although coach Nate McMillan said he had agreed to return to the team.
Patterson was suspended for two games and then went on the inactive list after cursing at McMillan during a game against the New York Knicks on Nov. 20.
Patterson has been unhappy about his minutes, playing a reserve role behind Darius Miles and Randolph.
Blazers rookie Martell Webster was not with the team because of a death in his family. ... Blazers center Theo Ratliff was inactive because of foot pain. ... Pacers guard Jamaal Tinsley had a sore left groin and didn't play. Jasikevicius started in his place.

Stocks Skyrocket; Dow, S&P, Russell Break Records
Stocks jumped across the board Thursday, helped by positive data.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 128.48 points, or 0.8%, to 15,628.02, a new all-time high, surpassing its previous record high of 15567.74 reached on July 23.
The Nasdaq rose 49.37 points, or 1.4%, to 3,675.74, a new 52-week high.
The S&P 500 added 21.14 points, or 1.3%, to 1,706.87, a new all-time high and its first close above 1,700, surpassing its July 22 record high of 1695.53.
In addition, the Russell 2000 reached a new record as well, climbing 15 points or 1.4% to 1060.26, surpassing its July 25 all-time high of 1054.18.
It is the Dow's 29th record close this year, the 24th for the S&P and the 47th for the Russell. All four indexes are up well over 100% from their March 2009 bear market lows.
Investors were bolstered by falling initial jobless claims and a strong ISM reading this morning, rocketing to intraday highs out of the gate.
"First-time weekly jobless claims have fallen to a new cycle low and remain down more than 10% from year ago levels on both a seasonally and non-seasonally adjusted basis," noted MKM's Michael Darda. "On an inverted basis, claims have been highly correlated to the level of the S&P 500, a fact that upends the notion that 'good news is bad news.' Moreover, jobless claims also correlate strongly with the level of high yield spreads and the net fraction of loan officers tightening lending conditions, meaning the frequent refrain that the financial markets are 'disconnected from the fundamentals' also is in error. The July ISM Index (55.4) is consistent with 3.6% RGDP growth and an acceleration in forward earnings estimates over the next six months. Notable strength in the new orders and employment sub indexes also reinforces the signal from jobless claims, rising stock prices and levitating bond yields."
Investors were also digesting the Federal Reserve's policy statement from Wednesday afternoon, which was dovish in its lack of tapering news.
"The FOMC's characterization of the economy as growing at a 'modest pace' versus the 'moderate' descriptor used on June 19 also contributed to the dovish tone of today's (August 1) statement," Credit Suisse's Neal Soss writes. "The tone of today's (August 1) statement doesn't rule out a reduction in the size of monthly asset purchases as early as the FOMC meeting on September 17-18. But the market is justified in assigning a lower probability to a September tapering now that the FOMC has avoided even the mention of one. Number trades and the volatility associated with them are likely to be more pronounced in the next seven weeks than would have been the case if the FOMC had put the possibility of tapering later this year in writing."
Winners today included Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM), which more than doubled on its first trading day. Procter & Gamble (PG) rose on its second-quarter earnings report, while Boston Beer (SAM) soared.
Chesapeake Energy (CHK) rose while Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) both on earnings news.

A possible alternative to the current scholarly communication process is the open access initiative. Open access publications are available freely on the Web with the cost of these publications provided in a number of ways. Methods to fund open access publications include donations (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy), authors' fees (not unlike some subscription based journals), or support by an institution such as a university. The Marquette Libraries support open access publications in various ways. Earlier in 2008, the Libraries contributed to an endowment for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy as did Boston College, Georgetown University, the University of Notre Dame and hundreds of other colleges, universities and scholarly organizations. Also, the Libraries regularly link open access journals in MARQCAT, the online catalog.

While we may hold differing opinions about the right to use information, Open Access in principle and practice has forever changed the way that we think about research and scholarship. The Open Access movement aims to remove the barriers to the free exchange of scholarly research while maintaining the rights of authors and creators of scholarly information. It is an effort to take advantage of the benefits of our digital era, especially at a time when the price of information has increased well beyond any other measure of inflation.
We live in a time when collaboration across scholarly disciplines is increasingly important and supported by emerging technologies and information and communication networks. Open Access expands our capacity to share scholarship without obstacles while maintaining the integrity of intellectual property.

After a slight lull, California broccoli and cauliflower volumes are inching back up, but locally grown deals this summer will likely check volumes again.
Warmer-than-expected spring weather tightened broccoli supplies in late May and early June for Salinas, Calif.-based D'Arrigo Bros. Co. of California, but that would likely change soon, said Gabriela D'Arrigo, marketing coordinator and saleswoman.
"We should be getting back to normal in the next few weeks, and it should stay normal for awhile," D'Arrigo said.
Markets should stay strong as California acreage dips in anticipation of locally grown deals nationwide, said Mark McBride, salesman for Salinas-based Coastline Produce.
"We're seeing really good interest for broccoli and cauliflower ads," McBride said. "This spring's been pretty good for quality, especially crown cut. It's been exceptional."
Coastline has seen very strong demand for crowns from Far East export markets, McBride said. The company also had a strong Memorial Day.
Broccoli supplies were light for Salinas-based Church Bros. LLC the week of June 10, but Steve Church, the company's chief executive officer, expected them to return to normal the week of June 17.
"The market's been fairly good the past couple of weeks," Church said June 11. "We moved product forward as much as we could to level our supplies. We should see steady pricing to possibly lower."
Supplies could be slightly less than normal the last week of June, Church said.
Church Bros. reported good quality on the crowns and other broccoli products it shipped in the first half of June.
Late starts in the Carolinas, Virginia and Maine could buoy demand for California product, Church said.
Locally grown production should start to surge the week after the Fourth of July, McBride said.
On June 11, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $10.35-12.50 for 20-pound boxes of loose crown cuts, down from $13.25-14.64 last year at the same time.
Cauliflower volumes, meanwhile, will likely be lighter than normal through June, Church said. The company reported strong demand and excellent quality on product shipping in the first half of June.
Cool growing weather in the Salinas Valley has produced excellent color, weight and overall quality on Coastline's cauliflower, McBride said.
Cauliflower, like broccoli, also was in strong demand at Memorial Day, he said.
Supplies were short in late May and early June for D'Arrigo Bros., but they would likely start to slowly come back up beginning the week of June 17, D'Arrigo said.
On June 11, the USDA reported prices of $15.65-16.95 for cartons of film-wrapped white cauliflower 12s, up from $11.35-13.48 last year.

Neon Trees
Where: The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles.
When: 7 p.m. June 14.
Tickets: General admission starts at $63.
Information: 213-388-1400, www.thewiltern.net or www.fameisdead.com.
Neon Trees has definitely been on the lips of the music-minded for quite some time. But it wasn't until front man Tyler Glenn, a devout Mormon, publicly came out as gay in a Rolling Stones magazine interview in March did the band become a hot topic outside the music scene.
"My choice to come out publicly in a national magazine was because I really wanted to tell my perspective on faith, on music and sexuality," said Glenn in a recent phone interview. "I had already come out to my friends and family a month prior so it was kind of like the nerves were gone, but I didn't want to just tweet it as like, 'Oh, by the way...'"
Neon Trees reminisces about Inland Empire roots
The members of Neon Trees may live in Provo, Utah these days, but their ties to the Inland Empire run deep. The very name of the band originated from a popular fast food chain in the area.
"The Temucula In-N-Out had these neon palm trees when I used to hang out there in high school that I always thought were cool. So my friends and I named an imaginary band Neon Palm Trees," said front man Tyler Glenn, who was born and raised in Murrieta. "I always thought that would be a cool real band name, but as we started this band we thought palm trees were too specific so we ended up with Neon Trees and the rest is our history."
In an serendipidous twist of fate, Glenn later learned that bassist Branden Campbell's dad installed the neon trees for In-N-Out chains throughout the Inland Empire.
"I didn't know Branden in high school but 10 years later when he joined the band, he said his dad installed those trees," Glenn said. "So it was kind of a weird written-in-the-stars kind of thing."
While Glenn admits he didn't always appreciate the Inland Empire growing up, he has fond memories growing up next door to fellow bandmate Chris Allen and continues to think of the area with much love.
"I love going back there now," he said, adding that his parents still live in the Murrieta home he grew up in. "There's this weird charm to it. Maybe it's because it's my childhood, but I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. ... It's in my blood."
—Mariecar Mendoza
The news made waves just around the time Neon Trees dropped its third album, "Pop Psychology," in April — and it couldn't have been better timing.
"I feel like the album sort of provided a safe zone for me to come out. I talk a lot about identity, like being trapped in love with someone you can't be in love with because you're not out. There was an opportunity there to talk about it within music, which made me feel really comfortable," he said. "The records that we put out prior to me coming out always talked about sexuality and identity, but never as comfortable as I did on this new album."
With Glenn beaming about the positive reception of "Pop Psychology," it's crazy to think the album almost didn't happen.
The alt-rock band from Utah rose into fame with its breakthrough 2009 hit "Animal," which was later certified double platinum and helped propel the band's first studio album, "Habits," in 2010.
The band found continued success with its 2011 single, "Everybody Talks." The song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the Neon Trees its first top 10 hit on the chart.
But after wrapping a 2012 tour with The Offspring, Glenn went through "something of a breakdown" that forced the band — which consists of childhood friend and fellow Murrieta native Chris Allen on guitar, bassist Branden Campbell and drummer Elaine Bradley — to cancel Neon Trees' remaining events for the year.
A stint with a therapist and some soul-searching later, however, Glenn is back more energized than ever.
"The show's the same, but it's almost more joyous and celebratory. I haven't always had the best time on stage even though it's the place I like to go to let loose and have a good time," he said. "It's nice to get it back where it's a comfortable, really fun place to be for me."
Since coming out, Glenn has gotten an outpouring of support from the LGBT community, fans and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which all members of Neon Trees are faithful followers.
"It is interesting how quickly people want to make you that role model and I'm kind of like 'ahhh' because I'm still young and figuring it out. It's still all very new to me, you know," the 30-year-old said. "I do want to be a positive voice for people, but I'd rather do that in music and on a stage rather than in a political forum."
To that end, Neon Trees is on its Pop Psychology Tour and will be making a stop in Los Angeles on Saturday at The Wiltern in support of the band's latest album.
"It's been just really fun to tour and feel like the crowd is finally catching the nuances in the music," Glenn said before a show in Austin, Texas.
"I'm able to talk candidly and not change the story anymore because I'm afraid of being completely open. ... There's a direct line of communication between us and our fans now. Maybe it's something I'm making up in my mind, but I do think there is a more genuine connection on this tour."
The current tour comes as every member in the band has gone through some life changing events. Aside from Glenn coming out, Allen, who has a child with epilepsy, has been advocating for medical policies to change in Utah, Allen got married and drummer Bradley became a mom.
"I think we've become more adult-ish, which is kind of a weird thing to say," Glenn said, with a laugh. "It's like a coming of age."
Bradley is particularly excited for the L.A. stop since the last time the band had a concert at The Wiltern on July 30, 2012, she was in labor with her son Bryce. Drummer John Buckner filled in for her.
"It will be nice to be playing instead of birthing a child through this show," she said.
While the tour runs through Sept. 13, concluding with a show in Berlin, Glenn is already excited for what's next for Neon Trees.
"I'm interested to see — post-coming out — what we put out next because there is this level of ease and comfort that my friends and family say I have now, which I think is really cool," Glenn said. "I'm interested in seeing how that will affect the writing."
Until then, Glenn is going to relish in the ability to simply be himself on stage.
"Coming out has affected what I say on stage now. Like it's cool for me to be able to say this guy in the crowd is cute or whatever and not have a fear about how people will take it or what they'll say. People are fine with it," he said. "It's kind of silly how much fear you have about sexuality before you learn to embrace it."

Courtney Love Speaks Out Against Nirvana 'Reunion' At 12-12-12 Concert
Before yesterday's so-called Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney at the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy Concert in New York, Courtney Love told TMZ that she was "not amused" by McCartney's involvement, adding that "if John [Lennon] were alive it would be cool." She later commented about the event on the Facebook page for author Mark Yarm's book 'Everybody Loves This Town: An Oral History of Grunge,' posting several notes in her typically rambling and borderline incoherent style. She later returned to the page to respond to some who had commented on her post.
"If they dont do songs they didn't write (nirvana songs they don't own) i dont care," Love posted at one point, seeming to sum up her overall position in one fell swoop. As for her previous quote that it "would be cool" if Lennon were alive, she seemingly contradicted herself later, writing that "we did get into paul and john fights- im a paul person (helter skelter)." It's not clear who the other part of the "we" is, although her late husband Kurt Cobain is as good a guess as any.
Love also took the opportunity to bash Krist Novoselic — she seems to have a special hatred of the ex-Nirvana bassist, who also took part in the reunion — writing that "paul better get earmuffs for th bassplaying is all." After the show, Love took another dig at Novoselic, answering a comment that the original song performed by McCartney and the ex-Nirvana members had "kicked ass" by writing, "Really? I will repeat, with Krist's bass playing? Let's be clear he's not exactly known for its brilliance."

Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renewer Reviews
Awesome skin refinisherI love everything about this product. Similar products generally irritate my skin, this one does not even on a twice daily basis. It makes my skin soft, more evenly colored and textured, and smoother. The pump works great, the concentrate absorbs even better than the cream and does not lose it potential or get bacteria ridden. The price is reasonable especially around bonus time. Love it! — 8 years, 5 months agoThorne | 456 reviews
Horrible red rash!I loved this product for the first two weeks that I used it, then all of a sudden I got this horrendous red painful rash, It took a few months for it to go down, my face still shows the damage from this product! Am saving up the money to see a Dermatologist to repair the damage that my insurance won't cover! — 9 years, 7 months agothedragonslady | 483 reviews

No, No, NO!I was SO disappointed that this product did not work for me! I can't for the life of me figure out why, but I broke out in an allergic rash that hurt! I'm sure it's just one, tiny little ingredient. It sucks because my skin felt softer IMMEDIATELY after putting it on. It's been about a month since I've used it and my skin is still healing. I recommend doing a test patch near your chin to make sure that it doesn't give you a reaction to! — 6 years, 8 months agoThePastyHarlot | 173 reviews
Absorbs quickly and maintains super smooth skinI am on my second bottle. I use this serum primarily in the cooler months of southern CA. It absorbs quickly and makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I will say that during the warm summer months, after application, it melted off my skin quick into the warm weather, so I use this when its not warm outside. — 1 year, 10 months agomauimalia | 3 reviews
Great product!I was looking for good serum. And I'm so happy that I managed to find good serum with exfoliate in one bottle. I suggest this product efficient as a serum and as exfoliate. My skin was looking dull and tired. After I started to use concentrate my skin became to look healthier and brighter. A lot of different antioxidants included in the list of ingredients. Concentrate has a very light texture...read more. I can't compare such texture with anything else. I have combination skin and very often my T-zone is oily during the day. I like to put concentrate in the morning as my T-zone doesn't shine with it. And it soaks in quickly. My skin became smooth, silky and radiant with this product. Also the positive side of this product it's fragrance free. The price is reasonable for such perfect product. It's such important for woman to find efficient cosmetics. Definitely highly recommended! — 3 years, 5 months agogonchar_maria | 41 reviews
Dream productThis makes my skin feel like silk. Absolutely gorgeous product. I is this as my night moisturizer during the summer, I've gone through four large tubes of this. — 4 years, 9 months agobeepdee | 64 reviews

Over priced with no resultsI used this until I finished the entire bottle but did not see any difference in my skin. I was really hoping to see a change but I guess its not for everyone. It's a bit pricey too. — 4 years, 11 months agoabeautyaddict | 36 reviews
WORKSIn Asia (where I'm from), this product's called Turnaround Concentrate Extra Radiance Renewer. Not sure if the non-Asian version has different ingredients. Anyway, I'm reviewing the Asian version. :) Before I bought this, I received a sample from Clinique. When the saleslady applied it to my skin, the result was immediate. Dull, uneven, and blotchy skin became smooth and radiant. I was waiting f...read moreor a break-out, actually, as serums usually broke me out, but there was none of that. After a week-long use of the samples she gave me (a little goes a long way, btw), I noticed that there was a significant change in my skin. It didn't just help me look more radiant, it also evened out my skin tone. Later, I found out that the whole line was tailored for Asian skin (probably because of weather factors and all that) which was more susceptible to dullness, so plus points for that. I've been using it for more than 5 months now, and there have been no break-outs, whatsoever. It calms down redness and really does its job of exfoliating dead skin cells away :) My skin looks smooth without make-up! — 5 years, 6 months agocatherinedtan | 22 reviews

It's Not BadI use this as a day serum to complement my night serum (I use Advance Night Repair from Estee Lauder) and it's made my pimple scars (the brown marks) fade quicker. It absorbs quite fast and one pump is enough for me. I don't see a great effect and probably should use it at night, but so far I'm happy with it. I like how my skin feels silky after application. — 7 years, 6 months agodomncroxd | 24 reviews
Works wonders - even on acne-prone skin!I really like the way that this product makes my skin look and feel. It combats again by improving skin texture and minimizing wrinkles and age spots, but it doesn't aggravate my break-out prone skin. The formula has a nice mattifying effect, reducing shine in the T-zone. I have tried this and Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector and much prefer this product. — 7 years, 9 months agokkraft | 1 reviews

The April federal order Class I base milk price set another record high, at $23.65/cwt. It's up a penny from March 2014 and $5.99 more than April 2013. The Class I base average for January-April 2014 is $22.70/cwt., up $4.54 from the same period a year ago.
Dairy margins march higher
Dairy margins continued to improve through the first half of March due mainly to a mid-month surge in milk prices while feed costs increased as well since the end of February, according to the latest CIH Margin Watch report from Commodity & Ingredient Hedging, LLC. Nearby Q2 margins have now reached the historic highs of 2004, while deferred margins are likewise historically strong, at or above the 90th percentile of the past 10 years.
Milk continues drawing support from the spot cheese market, with block cheddar prices at the CME reaching new all-time highs last week. January cheese and curd exports of 70.8 million lbs. were up 3.3% from December and 46% higher than the previous year. The January numbers were the largest monthly commercial cheese trade on record for the U.S., with exports accounting for 7.8% of total cheese production for the month.
It should be noted that most of this strength followed business executed at lower prices during Q4 2013, and there is some concern that current prices may discourage future demand. There are signs that U.S. dairy product prices are becoming expensive on the world market with milk production recovering in other exporting countries.
Meanwhile, feed prices have firmed over the past few weeks, as strength in ethanol margins and the conflict in Ukraine support corn, while a tightening balance sheet in the latest March World Ag Supply & Demand Estimates report for both corn and soybeans provides underlying support.

CWT assists with 4 million lbs. of cheese, butter, WMP export sales
Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 10 requests for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America, Foremost Farms USA, Michigan Milk Producers Association, Upstate Niagara Cooperative (O-AT-KA) and Tillamook County Creamery Association to sell 220,462 lbs. of cheddar cheese, 2.535 million lbs. of 82% butter and 1.268 million lbs. of whole milk powder to customers in Africa, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered March through June 2014.
Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 27.205 million lbs. of cheese, 14.309 million lbs. of butter and 2.573 million lbs. of whole milk powder to 20 countries on five continents. These sales are the equivalent of 573.4 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis.
National Dairy Products Sales Report weekly highlights USDA's weekly National Dairy Products Sales Report indicated Grade AA butter prices averaged $1.84/lb. for the week ending March 15, up 1.7¢ from the previous week. U.S. 40-lb. block cheddar cheese averaged $2.20/lb., up 1.7¢ from the previous week. The price for 500-lb. cheddar barrels, adjusted to 38% moisture, averaged $2.23/lb., up 2.0¢.
USDA Extra Grade dry whey averaged 65.1¢/lb., up 0.2¢. USDA Extra Grade nonfat dry milk averaged $2.10/lb., down 0.5¢ from the previous week.
California NFDM prices
The weekly nonfat dry milk powder report has been posted to the California Department of Food & Agriculture Dairy Marketing Branch website.
For the week ending March 14, the average price was $2.0490/lb. on total sales of 11.71 million lbs.
For the week ending March 7, the average price was $2.0594/lb. on total sales of 8.54 million lbs.

Ike feeling healthy after return to action
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- After sitting out nearly three full weeks with a pair of sore calves, Ike Davis returned to Grapefruit League action on Thursday with six defensive innings and three at-bats against the Braves.
Though Davis finished 0-for-3, he came away feeling healthy and encouraged.
"Results, obviously, are big, but they're not that big," Davis said. "I just wanted to get back out there and play. I actually felt pretty good in the box today, hit a couple balls hard. Obviously, I didn't get a hit, but it felt pretty good to get out there and barrel up some balls."
Lucas Duda, Davis' main competition for the Mets' starting first-base job, went 0-for-6 with a strikeout in a series of Minor League at-bats. Duda, who has been nursing a sore left hamstring since the first week of March, ran the bases during drills, but not during the games.
Davis and Duda will both play Friday, with the former serving as designated hitter and the latter manning first. Though the Mets will do their best to evaluate Davis and Duda over their final nine Grapefruit League games, they will also need to rely more on past statistical performance than they originally intended.
"I think it may be the guy who is really red hot at the time, is really swinging the bat good," manager Terry Collins said. "I have no other way to do it except we've got to get them out there. We've got to see as much of them as we can."

Barb Tubing Coupling
Quality barbed acetal fittings provide high retention in low-pressure poly tubing for long-term reliability of connections. These fittings can be confidently installed without clamps when matched with our quality low-pressure poly tubing with corresponding dimensions.
- Sharp-edged barbs create leak-proof seal.
- Increased strength and superior quality.
- Heat, chemical and wear-resistant.
- UV stabilized materials for long life.
Special Note: 1/4" barbed fittings have the unique ability to be "snapped" into larger tubing after punching a 1/4" hole into the side of the larger tubing. This creates a water tight seal and allows you to "tee-off" of larger diameter tubing using only 1/4" fittings and a hole punch.

|Primary Completion Date:
|August 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: LCP-Tacro
LCP Tacro tables for once daily oral administration
Drug: LCP-Tacro
LCP-Tacro will be administered orally q.d. in the morning based on a conversion factor from Prograf or generic tacrolimus to LCP-Tacro of 0.7 for non-African American subjects and 0.85 for African American subjects to maintain target trough level of 3 to 12 ng/mL.
Other Name: tacrolimus
Experimental: Prograf
Tacrolimus capsules for twice daily oral administration
Drug: Prograf
Oral Prograf or generic tacrolimus doses will be taken b,i,d, consistently in 2 divided doses, once in the morning and once in the evening, to maintain trough level in the range of 3 to 12 ng/mL. Target trough level for the subject will be determined per clinical practice.
Other Name: tacrolimus
Detailed Description:
This is a 2 sequence, open-label, multicenter, prospective Phase 3b clinical study to access drug-induced hand tremors in stable kidney transplant subjects converted from Prograf (tacro-limus, Astellas Pharma US, Inc., Deerfield, IL) or generic tacrolimus twice daily (b.i.d.) to LCP-Tacro tablets (tacrolimus, Veloxis Pharmaceuticals A/S, Horsholm, Denmark) once daily (q.d.). The trial is designed to determine if the test drug LCP-Tacro, is associated with fewer and/or less severe drug-induced hand tremor than observed with Prograf or generic tacrolimus treatment; each therapy is to be concomitantly administered with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), mycophenolate sodium (MPS), including generic versions of each, and/or prednisone or equivalent as long as doses remain stable during the study. All prophylaxis and other medication will be allowed per standard of care (SOC) in each of the participating sites; no medication that interacts with the pharmacokinetics (PK) of tacrolimus is allowed unless subjects who are recipients of a renal transplant at least 1 month and not more than 5 years prior to enrollment. Following screening, study visits will be conducted over a 2-week treatment period with consists of 1 week of Prograf or generic tacrolimus SOC, and 1 week of LCP-Tacro. Subjects who qualify for extended use of LCP-Tacro can continue LCP-Tacro treatment for additional 2 years. This decision will be made at the discretion of the physician and subject.

Newborn Screening Bill and Local Legislation Signed Into Law
Larkin Bills Approved by Governor
Three pieces of legislation were signed into law by Governor Cuomo announced the bills' sponsor, Senator Bill Larkin (R-C, Cornwall-on-Hudson). Of the three bills, two were local legislation dealing with Orange County's one percent sales tax extension and conveying land in the Thiells-Roseville Fire District. The other piece of legislation dealt with requiring hospitals to screen newborns for congenital heart defects.
Senate bill 270-B/Assembly bill 2316-B (Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther), Chapter 184 of the Laws of 2013, requires birthing facilities to perform pulse oximetry screenings on newborns. In newborns, pulse oximetry screening involves taping a small sensor to the baby's foot while the sensor beams a light through the foot to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood. This type of screening is effective at finding congenital heart defects that may otherwise go undetected by current screening methods.
Senate bill 4646/Assembly bill 6739 (Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt), Chapter 209 of the Laws of 2013, extends the authority of Orange County to impose an additional rate of sales and compensating use tax until November 30, 2015. This legislation extends the three-quarters of one percent sales tax rate for Orange County and was passed at the County's request.
Senate bill 4647/Assembly bill 1291 (Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski), Chapter 269 of the Laws of 2013, authorizes the Commissioner of the Office of General Services to transfer and convey certain land to the Thiells-Roseville fire district. The hamlet of Thiells, in the Town of Haverstraw, has seen a tremendous increase in their population since the fire district was first established. To accommodate the growing need for expanded fire service, this legislation will allow the NYS Office of General Services to transfer and convey 1.2 acres of land currently owned by the NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. With this acquisition, the construction of a substation for the Thiells-Roseville Fire District will allow for expanded fire coverage in the hamlet for the next 25-50 years.
"I applaud the Governor for signing these bills into law," said Senator Larkin. "He has taken the needs of Hudson Valley residents into consideration with these two new local laws and the health concerns of newborns statewide with the pulse oximetry legislation. I was honored to be able to sponsor these bills with my Assembly colleagues and look forward to their implementation."

NEW Great Britain team boss Alun Rossiter has selected his first team to race against a Rest of the World side in the Ben Fund Bonanza at Leicester on Sunday, March 9.
The side will be led by Rossiter's new captain, Tai Woffinden, and includes Lewis Bridger, Chris Harris, Danny King, Craig Cook, Kyle Howarth, Ritchie Worrall. Ben Barker is the meeting reserve.
Robins boss Rossiter stressed the door isn't closed to any rider not selected for what will be the first meeting of the 2014 season but insisted it will be a useful exercise for a good cause.
"Managing Great Britain, of course it has always been an ambition of mine, progressing from riding, team managing, representing your country at the highest level is always a feather in anyone's cap," he said.
"There's a lot of negativity around, too much negativity in my eyes because we're not as bad as people make us out to be. We just need to be a little bit more upbeat about ourselves, a bit more positive.
"I like to be upbeat otherwise there is no point in doing it. I've got to sit down with the chairman, we've already spoken a bit, but I want to discuss what we can do. I want to do something as a team but I need to know what the boundaries are, what we can and can't do.
"I've given Tai the captaincy, I just thought that Bomber didn't have the best of seasons last year and so I've taken the pressure off him to let him focus on himself a little bit. He's back in the Grand Prix and now he can worry about getting himself in the right frame of mind instead of worrying about everybody else.
"I've not been to Leicester so the Ben Fund meeting will be a new experience for me and I've heard good things about it. I think the team we will be tracking has potential, it has a bit of youth and a bit of experience, and an important thing to say is that the door isn't shut to anybody else.
"This is my first official fixture and I want to stress that I'm not excluding anyone. "

Camcorder Accessories
Meredith Krebs was a video producer and copywriter at Crutchfield for several years. She wrote about cameras and produced over 100 videos for the website.
More from Meredith Krebs
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
|With camcorder accessories, it's best to get the necessities to start, and then try adding new tools as you go. That way the quality of your videos will increase along with your skill level, and you'll soon be creating wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
When I started shooting home movies in high school, I figured the family camcorder was all I needed. It took some trial and error to figure out that just a few key accessories could make a huge improvement in my footage.
Once I recorded family members ice skating on our frozen river, but camera shake made the whole experience unwatchable. So later on, when I recorded my 90-year-old grandfather telling his favorite stories about growing up abroad, I used a tripod to keep the video steady. After his death, the footage became a wonderful record of our family history. I only wish I had had a microphone for that shoot so I could have heard his words more clearly.
I still love shooting home movies, and I've learned a lot about the add-ons that can really make a difference in your shooting experience and your picture. So I've listed my favorite accessories below, starting with some real must-haves.
Extra batteries are a real plus. Depending on the amount of zoom and playback you're doing, the average battery may make it only a few hours. One battery may not last through a long event or a vacation day at the beach. Keeping a spare charged and ready to go will allow you to capture all the footage you like.
A battery charger
Unless you want to take your camcorder out of commission every time you need to charge your batteries, a battery charger is very helpful. You're guaranteed to have fresh batteries when you need them, and you won't miss any of life's precious moments. I went without one for a few months, and was really glad when I finally got one. It made shooting video at family reunions and long parties much easier, since I never had to stop to recharge.
Don't miss a moment — keep extra memory on hand.
Extra memory cards, discs, or tapes
Camcorders that record to memory cards, discs, or tapes don't often come with any included in the box. Even if they do, you'll definitely want to keep extras on hand. The last thing you want is to get caught short on a long trip or in the middle of an important event. You don't want to have to start deleting on the fly when you run out of recording space before the candles have been blown out during a birthday party. Memory cards, discs, and tapes are cheap, but the memories are priceless. I recommend stocking up.
A camcorder bag will keep your camera safe and your accessories organized.
A camcorder case
With a camcorder case, you can protect your camcorder and store your extra memory cards, discs, tapes, and batteries in one place. That way you'll have everything together when it's time to grab your camcorder and go, and you won't miss the baby's first steps or some other important event because you can't find your extra memory card. Special camcorder cases are usually well padded and have lots of little pockets for your accessories. I love having everything in one place, and I like the added peace of mind that my camcorder won't get banged around when I take it out.
An extra hard drive
If you become a passionate and frequent shooter, you're going to quickly run out of space on your computer. I recommend getting an extra hard drive to store all your footage. The hard drive will also give you some peace of mind. It's great to have multiple copies of your footage, for example on two hard drives or a hard drive and DVD. I've accidentally deleted or recorded over shots before, and when it's gone, it's gone (unless you have saved it somewhere else).
Keep your shots steady with a tripod.
A tripod
Let's face it, your hand is probably going to shake a bit when you're holding the camcorder. A great solution for this problem is a tripod. Most are compatible with both your digital camera and camcorder, so a tripod can also make taking your annual family photo much easier.
When you use a tripod, you can stay steady even when you zoom in close for a soccer game or a school play. Simply attach the camcorder to the tripod, level it out, adjust the legs to the height you want, and start shooting. Even better, you can leave your camcorder locked down on a tripod to record a play or concert, and then sit back in your seat and enjoy the performance.
A monopod
Lighter than a tripod, the monopod will also help steady your shots. It attaches to your camcorder the same way a tripod does, but you won't be able to lock it down for a long performance like the tripod. It's very helpful for capturing sporting events and other times when you're shooting on the go. You can carry the monopod easily as you sprint up and down the side of the soccer field, for instance, and then set up quickly for your next shot. Unlike the tripod, there's no need to adjust levels or legs on uneven ground.
Want to hook the camcorder up to your HDTV or your computer? Make sure it includes all the necessary cables. That way there's no need to be disappointed when it's finally time to share your latest home movie with family and friends.
For a PC, you'll probably use a USB port to connect the camcorder to your computer. Most camcorders come with a cable, and some pocket video camcorders have a USB port that flips out from the camera.
Your camcorder will probably come with component video cables so you'll be all set to watch footage on your TV. But if you've got an HDTV, you may want a mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable so you can get the best possible picture on your TV. For more about hooking up your camera to your TV or computer, see our article on watching your home movies
|Add a separate microphone when you need great sound.
If you'll be recording speeches, music, or something where you want top-of-the-line audio quality, you may want to look into investing in a separate microphone. The built-in microphone on your camcorder will be sufficient for most events, but a shotgun microphone, for instance, will allow you to focus on audio from one source (like a stage) and block out a lot of ambient noise (a restless audience). Just make sure that the microphone you choose is compatible with your camcorder brand.

Julia Murney to join Houston Symphony, 9/4
Broadway star Julia Murney will be joining the Houston Symphony for a special concert series called "Broadway Rocks!" on September 3, 4, and 5. Three additional vocalists will join Ms. Murney and will be announced at a later date. They will be backed by the Gay Men's Chorus of Houston to perform show stopping numbers from the latest generation of Broadway musicals like Wicked, Mamma Mia, The Lion King, RENT, and more.
Tickets to the three performances go on sale August 1 and may be purchased by calling the Jones Hall box office at (713) 224-7575.
Murney's Off-Broadway theatrical credits include originating the role of 'Queenie' in Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party at the Manhattan Theatre Club, opposite Brian D'Arcy James, Idina Menzel, and Taye Diggs, for which she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. She was also seen in The Vagina Monologues, Crimes of the Heart, A Class Act, Time and Again, and First Lady Suite. She appeared in a musical version of the film Saved at the Playwrights Horizons Theatre, which had previews starting from May 9, and an opening on June 3, 2008. In August 2008, Murney portrayed the title role of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita at Wells Fargo Pavilion in Sacramento.
Murney made her debut on Broadway in 2005, in the short-lived musical Lennon. She was also seen in the Actors' Fund benefit concerts of Funny Girl, Chess, Hair, and the World AIDS Day Benefit Concert Pippin. She has also been featured on television in Sex and the City, Ed, NYPD Blue, and various episodes of Law & Order.
Murney starred as Elphaba in the national touring company of the musical Wicked. She joined the cast on March 8, 2006 and left the National Tour on September 3, 2006 replaced by Shoshana Bean. In that role, she won an Acclaim Award from the Cincinnati Enquirer for leading performer in a musical. She recently reprised her role as Elphaba in the Broadway production replacing Ana Gasteyer and ended her 8-month run on October 7, 2007.
Her debut solo album, I'm Not Waiting, was released in May 2006 on the Sh-K-Boom Records label. The album's title song was written especially for her by Andrew Lippa, with whom she has a strong artistic relationship. Murney also sings a jazz acoustic version of the song "I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked. She can also be heard on the original cast albums of The Wild Party and A Class Act, and the Actors' Fund recording of Hair.

A cold snap in Chile is leaving summer citrus importers unsure of what they'll be bringing to the states in upcoming weeks.
David Mixon, chief marketing officer for Seald Sweet LLC, Vero Beach, Fla., said Chile's citrus-growing areas had an unseasonable cold snap over the July Fourth weekend. Until the industry can measure the damage done to its crop, which can take a week or even 10 days, the forecast of exports to the U.S. is clouded.
Mixon said the temperatures recorded there indicate an "extremely high" likelihood of damage to the citrus, but "it's hard to predict how the fruit will react, and there's a lot of variables."
Chile's cold snap is just the latest weather hurdle for the industry. South Africa, which exported a record 1.5 million metric tons of citrus last season, dealt with a yearlong draught and hailstorms that will limit the nation's citrus exports by 5% from last year's record.
Mixon said Chile typically kicks off the summer citrus program in late May with its clementines. Then South Africa starts exporting citrus around the middle of June. Both countries' seasons go through October. Peru — with fewer clementines and navels than those countries but more minneola tangelos — bolsters and diversifies the supply from the end of June through September.
Mixon said that while the industry expects less fruit out of South Africa, the fruit has had normal size and the quality has been "exceptional." He said the external color and internal flavor were both strong and brix counts were 1-3 points higher than usual.
He said the prices of international citrus have been about average, with no anticipation for any major shifts, but the jury is still out on what Chile's cold snap could mean to volumes and prices.
One fruit that probably won't escape the Chile cold snap untouched is lemons. Mixon said he was definitely expecting smaller-than-normal volumes of lemons, and therefore higher prices, but even the extent of those changes are yet unknown.
As international production has ramped up, the domestically grown summer citrus supply is winding down.
Al Imbimbo, vice president of sales and marketing for Suntreat Packing & Shipping Co., Lindsay, Calif., said his company was selling its last load of California navels.
"I think there will be some people who will be shipping California navels through August," he said, "but I have a feeling most will be shipped out sooner."
He said his company had the opportunity to string out its last load, to try to catch a possible uptick in price as supply dwindles, but didn't think the price would justify it. He said the quality of the fruit is good, and the sizes — of what they have left — were 72s, 56s, even some 88s.
Neil Galone, vice president of sales and marketing for Booth Ranches LLC, Orange Cove, Calif., said some major shippers will hold onto their navels as long as they can, but California is mostly done.
He said Booth starts its valencias in March or early April, before any domestic demand, to supply international interests. He said half of its valencia crop was harvested, and it has told its customers to expect them at least through August. He said the valencias have been mid-sized, peaking on 88s, with some 113s. He said the total estimate for California valencia production is 26 million boxes, which is close to average.
He said the average f.o.b.s for all grades and sizes are around $8.75, slightly stronger than last year. He said he expected the price to stay there.

2015 T-Shirt Design Contest Winner: Together We Can Fight Parkinson's
A drawing by seven-year-old Mabel Johnson of Pittsfield, NH, came out on top in the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's (PDF) Sixth Annual Parkinson's Awareness T-Shirt Design Contest. Mabel's design was a contender along with 40 other submissions from children ages 5 to 15 years old. Her design was chosen as the winner by the general public in an online vote.
Mabel was inspired to enter the t-shirt contest in honor of her maternal grandmother, who lives with Parkinson's disease. Her design featuring the words, "Together we can fight Parkinson's," is now being printed on PDF's official 2015 PD awareness t-shirts, which will be worn by thousands of people around the country to raise awareness, especially during April's Parkinson's Awareness Month.
"Parkinson's can make it hard for Mimi to do things sometimes. It is hard for her to hold things in her hand. I would like to help so Parkinson's goes away," says Mabel. "My Mimi is very proud and excited to see my picture."
2014 T-Shirt Design Contest Winner: You Can Make a Difference in the Fight Against Parkinson's
Bloomington, MN, resident Ruth Lotzer is a retired kindergarten teacher, who has lived with young onset Parkinson's disease since 2002. She has been involved with the cause as a volunteer PDF Research Advocate and as an artist, by creating crafts and pins for Parkinson's awareness. She says PDF's t-shirt contest was another outlet to inspire others through a simple action.
"I want people to know that getting involved in the fight against Parkinson's doesn't have to be complicated. You don't have to be famous or be a big shot. Anyone can do it! Find what you like to do best and do it for PD," says Ms. Lotzer.
Her design features a hand-drawn version of PDF's signature green and yellow tulip in the center of a frame, which encapsulates the phrase, "You Can Make a Difference in the Fight Against Parkinson's."
2013 T-Shirt Design Contest Winner: We Make a Difference
Benton, AR, resident Jeffrey Williams was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson's disease in 2011 at the age of 42. Mr. Williams, who works as a graphic designer, was inspired to enter PDF's t-shirt design contest to raise more awareness in his community about the disease he battles.
"This contest was a creative outlet for me to educate others about Parkinson's disease," he says. "You don't always realize the challenges that come with Parkinson's disease until it happens to you. I hope that when others wear this t-shirt, it will lead to more curiosity about Parkinson's disease and ways to help fund research for a cure."
His design features PDF's signature green and yellow tulip logo encapsulating the phrase, "We make a difference in the fight against Parkinson's disease."
He remarks on the inspiration behind his design, "the tulip is hugging the slogan to represent organizations like PDF and all those who embrace the people affected by Parkinson's disease and do everything they can to help us live better and find a cure."
2012 T-Shirt Design Contest Winner: Optimism & Hope
Diane Malstrom's stepfather has been living with Parkinson's for more than 20 years. Ms. Malstrom originally visited PDF's website to find caregiver resources for herself and her mother, when she saw the opportunity to use her creativity in the Parkinson's Awareness Month T-Shirt Design Contest.
Her design depicts a mountain engulfed in tulips with a climber reaching the top. She said, "Finding out my stepfather had Parkinson's and watching it progress felt like a mountain climb. The person climbing the mountain in my design represents all of us, the caregivers, our loved ones, and the people living with Parkinson's. Everyone is touched by the disease."
Ms. Malstrom and her husband made a pact, after her design made the top five, to fly out to New York for the Parkinson's Unity Walk if her design was chosen as the winner! PDF staff and volunteers enjoyed meeting them at the walk in April 2012, where they were able to see hundreds of people wearing the t-shirt Ms. Malstrom designed!
Ms. Malstrom hopes to use the experience to raise awareness for caregivers who also must cope with the effects of the disease. "To win this contest means so much because I really wanted to raise awareness not only about this disease but the resources available to caregivers and to show my stepfather how much we love him," she says.
PDF congratulates Ms. Malstrom on her winning design.
2011: It May Shake Me, But It Can't Break Me
La Honda, CA resident Marian Bumala's t-shirt design, "Parkinson's Disease: It May Shake Me But It Can't Break Me," tied for the winning spot as part of the PDF 2011 Parkinson's Awareness Month T-shirt Contest. The design was printed on thousands of t-shirts and was worn around the country during April 2011 to raise awareness.
Ms. Bumala's t-shirt design depicted a tulip, the official symbol for Parkinson's, rising above the sun. Written beneath the tulip are the words, "It may shake me, but it can't break me," signifying Ms. Bumala's outlook that Parkinson's may shake a person's body and shake up a person's life, but there is still hope. The slogan resonated with the thousands of voters who chose it.
Ms. Bumala is an electronics engineer who lives with Parkinson's. She is very involved with the Parkinson's community on a local level - serving as an active member of a local support group, a clinical trial participant and a regular participant of Sunnyvale, CA's annual Unity Walk, a local branch of the New York City walk.
She said of her design, "It is a wonderful feeling to be able to help out in the Parkinson's community by doing something I enjoy – graphic design. I'm grateful to PDF for this opportunity and hope that my design will raise awareness of the disease."
Robin Elliott, Executive Director of PDF, said, "Ms. Bumala's t-shirt slogan "It may shake me, but it can't break me" reflects the dedication the community has to beating this disease. We congratulate Ms. Bumala for tying for first place in the Parkinson's Awareness Month T-shirt contest and for helping to demonstrate our community's continued urgency to find a cure."
2010: Fight to Win
Heather Hinrichsen's Fight to Win design for Parkinson's Awareness Month was featured on a t-shirt worn by hundreds of people throughout the US in 2010. She submitted her design to the PDF Parkinson's Awareness Month T-Shirt Contest in early 2010 and received over 800 of the 1,900 votes, beating four other designs. What's the story behind her design and how did she do it?
Ms. Hinrichsen, 36 years old, lives with young-onset Parkinson's. A busy mom, she and her husband Todd have two children, ages 2 and 3. She does her best to check the websites of Parkinson's organizations, such as PDF, every few weeks. In February, she found a story about PDF's Parkinson's Awareness Month T-Shirt Contest. An avid scrapbooker, Ms. Hinrichsen wanted to try her hand at it. She and Todd had previously discussed designing a Parkinson's t-shirt, so she thought, "Why not design it for the contest?"
Ms. Hinrichsen's design, featured above, includes the phrase, Fight to Win, a message that seemed to resonate with the voters who pushed her design to the top of the list. She chose this phrase because it's something she has done herself while coping with young-onset Parkinson's.
Ms. Hinrichsen was diagnosed at the age of 33, when her first child was just three months old. She fought to come to terms with her diagnosis as a young mom, to find the right doctor to address her needs as a young person with Parkinson's, and to find support from people who could understand what she was going through. Less than two years after her diagnosis, she and Todd had their second child. She is now a stay-at-home mom to her two young children and occasionally still works in a volunteer capacity in her career as a physician assistant, for example, recently flying to Haiti with a medical team to assist with earthquake relief efforts. She also found friendship among a support group made up solely of young mothers who are living with PD.
What is her hope for the awareness t-shirt? Ms. Hinrichsen says, "First, I hope that by sharing my story, people will realize that Parkinson's is not just an older person's disease. It can strike younger people. Through the shirt design, I also want to spread the message to everyone to fight PD. I plan to fight until I win - I have PD, but it doesn't have me."

Apple's (AAPL) management team has an approach to earnings calls and product launches: Never let them see you sweat.
Last night's earnings call was the first time I've heard irritation in the voices of CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer. I think that surprised a lot of people and added fuel to the fire of people who suspect that Apple's best days are behind it.
As I said on CNBC earlier yesterday, I expected Apple to meet Wall Street's consensus revenue and earnings targets but expected that to cause some hand-wringing by analysts and cause the stock to sell off in the aftermarket.
However, I didn't expect it would be a 10% selloff. I would have guessed something more like a 5% drop-off.
But I also expect the stock to be down less than 10% by the end of today. I believe there will be a lot of buyers at this level to step in.
Many Apple bears (or casual observers) say that Apple is now a broken stock. They say that the company doesn't have any exciting new products to offer in 2013, and they downplay the importance of the new TVs expected later this year.
However, at the aftermarket levels, the stock was 35% off the September highs. That's a large retracement for Apple. And the sentiment on the Street has gone so negative in the span of three or four months. History suggests that that's just the time to start to get long the stock.
It's interesting to hear the anger in the voices of Cook and Oppenheimer. Cook took the time to basically debunk the Wall Street Journal rumor of a supply-chain cutback from a few weeks ago. Cook also showed annoyance at the question from Keith Bachman of BMO Capital Markets. Oppenheimer changed up some of the metrics he reported to the Street.
Jim Cramer had an article earlier today on Real Money in which he said that all these things were bad signs, as they showed a management that wasn't really willing to be straightforward with the Street on the call.
However, my take is that it's nice to see a fire lit under Apple management. I like it that these execs now have a chip on their shoulder.
I was a fan of Tim Cook's at $700, and I'm a fan of his now sub-$500. I think he's doing all the right things in directing this company forward, even if that doesn't always thrill Wall Street.
But at the end of the day, if you're trying to decide whether or not to own this stock, I think you'd be wiser to pay more attention to Apple's performance over the last six months and do the inverse of the trend. It's seemed to work in the last eight years for Apple.
We've always had these concerns that Apple had grown too big and can't innovate. That view existed before it introduced the iPhone in 2007.
At some point, Apple will address that concern head on with some exciting new product, and it will propel the stock higher.
But in 2013, even if the only "new" thing we get is TV, we still could see the stock perform well off of these levels as people feel it will bounce up because the Street is now too conservative.

Mike McCoy's former boss, Broncos head coach John Fox, hasn't entirely recovered from the team's loss in the playoffs six months ago.
What does that have to do with McCoy?
Back then, McCoy was Fox's offensive coordinator and playcaller. When Fox revisited the defeat last week with Denver Post columnist Woody Paige, he singled out the failure to convert on 3rd-and-7 while ahead late in the game.
"That's the one that gnaws at me. We get the first down there, and Baltimore can't stop the clock again, and the game's over," Fox said.
Make no mistake: Fox didn't blame McCoy, who worked for him at both Carolina and Denver.
But Fox also said: "I would change what we did on 3rd-and-7" the series before the Ravens' Joe Flacco stunned Denver with a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied the game.
Paige writes that the Ravens knew the Broncos would run, "based on the time and the offensive package (a running back and a fullback, two blocking tights end, a third tackle and only one receiver)."
Peyton Manning, he adds, "couldn't change the play with that bunch in the game" and "was forced to go with the running play with an outside runner spearing again inside toward right guard."
Overloading the run, the Ravens stopped Ronnie Hillman for no gain near midfield, forcing the punt.
"What would you have called?" Paige asked Fox.
"I don't know, but something that would pick up a first down," Fox said.
I asked McCoy his thoughts.
"We had a plan going in," he said. "Yeah, of course you'd like to pick up the first down there. But, hey, we were in this together. And we supported it. It was our decision to do what we did. And, hey, we didn't get the first down."
In his brief Chargers tenure, McCoy several times has said decisions are "made as an organization." Continuing his response, he trotted out that phrase.
"I'm not looking back at all. We called it. Hey, we called it as an organization and we're moving forward from there," he said. "You can't worry about that now. It's over with. We called it. We thought that was the right thing to do and that's what we did."
If the head coach isn't the playcaller, it's still typical for him to have input. Many head coaches set a general theme -- say, run the clock, or go for it -- and tell the playcaller to fit the details.
If McCoy is second-guessing himself for the call, he gave no evidence of it. A first down would've matched the Mules against the Patriots, at Denver in the AFC Championship game. Safe to say, he'd welcome a chance to be in the same position in another Super Bowl tournament. Should that happen, Ken Whisenhunt would likely be the playcaller with McCoy in Fox's role.

By JohnMichael Thistle, CUSG Election Commissioner
This time last year, I didn't know what CUSG was. Of course, I knew CU had a student government, but that was the extent of my knowledge.
As the new election commissioner for CUSG, I feel that a large part of my job is to share information with you that I wish had been shared with me before recent months.
For those who don't know, CUSG is the most financially powerful and autonomous student government in the entire nation. CUSG oversees a budget of $36 million, and serves as liaison between the student body and the CU administration.
CUSG takes part in important decisions that affect every student at CU, and I want you to know that you have the right to make your voice heard.
We work for you, and we will be able to best represent you if we know how you wish to be represented. A crucial way to ensure this will happen is through our CUSG elections.
I encourage you to consider running for a representative seat this fall, and moreover, I encourage you to vote in our elections. Your vote will make a difference. Your participation will directly impact you during your time as a CU student.
Please take a look at our timeline below, and consider getting involved with CUSG today.
