Jan. 9, 2009 -- An FDA advisory committee today recommended the approval of Atryn, which may become the first approved drug made from genetically engineered animals.
Atryn, which is given by infusion, is for people with a rare condition called hereditary antithrombin deficiency. People with hereditary antithrombin deficiency don't make enough antithrombin, an anticlotting compound. That shortfall of antithrombin puts patients at risk of life-threatening blood clots.
Current treatment involves taking blood thinners and getting infusions of human antithrombin, which is extracted from donated blood.
Atryn comes from goats that were genetically engineered to have human antithrombin III in their milk.
GTC Biotherapeutics, the company that makes Atryn, developed Atryn by injecting human antithrombin DNA into fertilized goat cells and implanting them in female goats. The genetically engineered offspring were bred for the presence of antithrombin in their milk.
Patients won't be drinking that goat milk; Atryn is made from the antithrombin harvested from the goat milk.
Atryn was tested in men and women with hereditary antithrombin deficiency who were at risk for blood clots; some of those patients were pregnant and others had recently had surgery. Atryn was safe and effective, but there isn't a lot of data yet on repeat use of Atryn, according to background information from GTC Biotherapeutics.
Today, an independent panel of experts concluded that Atryn appears safe and effective. The panel also recommended that if Atryn is approved, postmarketing safety studies should be done.
Atryn isn't going on the market yet. The FDA considers the recommendations of its advisory panels, but it's not obligated to follow that advice.

May Just Churn Even Higher
One thing I love about the beginning of the year is that we have another round of earnings season -- the time when companies show what they've got and we tend to see big price moves in both directions.
For myself, as an options trader, this period presents tremendous opportunities for gains both before and after earnings releases. In order to increase my odds of success, I will often use such varying options strategies as strangles, straddles and credit spreads. Playing off technical indicators, as well as money flows, momentum and sentiment, could put you on a plane of quick and powerful profits....340 more words left in this article.

I have a new review in Film International on Yasujiro Ozu's "gangster" films.
As I note in the essay, "Yasujiro Ozu is no longer a name unknown in the Western world; for a long time, this 'most Japanese' of directors was overshadowed on the international scene by Akira Kurosawa, whose flashier, more action oriented style translated much more easily to 1950s American culture, and paved the way for a series of remakes of his films – even now, almost 15 years after his death, Kurosawa's estate is overseeing Hollywood remakes of many of his original films.
By contrast, Ozu was almost unknown outside Japan until the 1960s. When his sublime later films, such as Tokyo Story (1953), finally became publicly available in 16mm prints for university and museum screenings, Ozu's reputation soared to new heights, easily eclipsing Kurosawa's dwindling critical reputation. Now, at last, we have this superb collection of three of his earlier, formative films, The Gangster Films in a 2-DVD set from the British Film Institute (as their new motto notes, 'Film Forever,' a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree), and it's a must for cineastes, collectors, and all lovers of cinema."

Instead of a few large pancakes that fill you up, think mini short stack at The Ritz, a tidy order that works well as a small meal or shared appetizer at brunch. A half-dozen Almond Pancakes ($10) come to a plate, the edges all golden, lacy and crisp. They run nearly an inch in height, and fluffy only begins to describe the moist, fine crumb hinting of toasted almonds. There are caramelized bananas on the side, and you'll want to polish off that little jug of maple syrup—it's infused with a heady dose of roasted vanilla beans.

MIAMI - Police are searching for the driver who hit and killed a 52-year-old woman on Friday.
Officials say 52-year-old Ana Mares (pictured, right) was walking to her car on Brickell Bay Drive near SE 8th Street when she was hit and left for dead.
"What kind of a person would do something like that to another person?" asked the victim's sister, Adriana.
A witness picked up Mares's cell phone and called a family number.
"I called my daughter and said, 'Where is tia?' And she said she just left," said Adriana. "I said someone just called us and said she has been hit. Go please and see. She ran out of the restaurant with her friends and she was laying on the ground."
The family says Mares graduated from the University of Miami and worked in finance. She was born in Argentina, but lived most of her life in South Florida.
Mares was also a breast cancer survivor.
"She was little-by-little coming back," said Adriana.
Police are looking for a dark 4-door car with a damaged passenger side mirror. Anyone with information is urged to call Miami police.

AEGON GB Davis Cup Team Captain, Leon Smith has announced a four man team and one reserve to take on Turkey in the Europe/Africa Zone Group II tie. The event takes place from 9-11 July 2010 on the grass courts of Devonshire Park, Eastbourne – home of the AEGON InternationalThe team is made up of Jamie Baker, James Ward and doubles specialists Ken Skupski and Colin Fleming (pictured here in action for the GB team against Ukraine in 2009) with Alex Ward in reserve. All five players are members of Team AEGON, the top British players selected by the LTA to receive the highest level of coaching and support. The players have enjoyed a good grass-court season, especially at the AEGON International where Ward reached the quarter finals, knocking out a string of top players on the way. Skupski and Fleming enjoyed a great run to the final before narrowly missing out against the second seeds. The pair enjoyed another good result at Wimbledon the following week.Smith is sure his team has what it takes to overcome Turkey in a match they must win to stay in the group, stating: 'I am confident that this is a group of players which can win this tie. 'They've all shown good form during the grass court season, and now the focus is on getting the result against Turkey.'
I've played two times in England, 16&U Europeans in Hertfordshire, which was on green clay, but this is my first time on grass. I play full-time in Turkey, Futures events, National team events and Club championships. I've never played a five-set match professionally. I only know Jamie Baker's name, nothing about him.

Filled Coffee Filters
To save time making coffee in the morning, I rely on this handy trick I learned as a waitress. I measure out the correct amount of ground coffee into a coffee filter. Then I put another filter on top of that and measure coffee into that one, too. I continue to stack and fill coffee filters until I have a pile that I can store in an empty coffee can with a resealable lid. In the morning, all I have to do is place one of these filled filters and some water in my coffee machine. —Deborah Schueler, Old Forge, New York

TJ Maxx now sells stuff online
Guys, I feel so lost and confused.
I just found out that Helen Fielding HAS KILLED MARK DARCY in the new Bridget Jones book (this is not a spoiler -- you apparently find out in the story right away). And while I was emotionally crumbling from that horrific revelation, whimpering like a squirrel lost in a dark woods, a friend pointed out to me that, WHOA, TJ Maxx is now selling clothes online. And then I felt like I was a squirrel floating through a black space beyond my understanding.
But some quick research tells me it's true -- TJ Maxx has recently started selling its wares online. The prices are on-point with what's in the store, but there doesn't appear to be a clearance section. I'm not saying I would NEVER buy anything from TJ Maxx online, but isn't part of the fun of off-price retailers the treasure hunt? The quest for a designer gem buried deep within the racks?
What do you guys think? Will you be shopping TJ Maxx online? And can we all start a petition to get Mr. Darcy back?

DENVER -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy often tells his players to look forward, so as the team prepared to leave Denver for the final time this season, the Giants already were looking ahead to a series with 2012 World Series opponent Detroit.
But if the Giants took a moment to look in the rearview mirror, they would see a massively missed opportunity. A 9-2 loss at Coors Field was the 10th of the year to the Colorado Rockies, meaning the Giants will finish with a losing mark (9-10) against a team that has the worst record in the National League and has been ravaged by injuries.
The first-place Dodgers are 9-4 against the Rockies with six games remaining between the two. The differing success against Colorado could be glaring if the Giants can't catch up in the National League West. The Giants trail the Dodgers by two games.
"It's hard to explain what your record is against certain clubs," Bochy said. "They play hard, even though they had injuries. They've had guys with good years, and they're tough here. There's nothing worse than when you think you should beat a club. They're major league players."
The names are not the familiar ones such as Tulowitzki, Gonzalez and Cuddyer. Instead, it was emerging young players Nolan Arenado and Corey Dickerson doing most of the damage to Ryan Vogelsong's line on a day when he tied a career-high by allowing eight earned runs. Christian Bergman gave up nine hits, but the rookie allowed just two runs while outpitching Vogelsong.
The Giants led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning, but the Rockies' aggressive approach against Vogelsong paid off with two big rallies. Vogelsong walked Josh Rutledge with two outs in the fifth and then gave up a single to Justin Morneau. Arenado hit a first-pitch fastball just over the wall in left for a three-run homer. Dickerson got a first-pitch curveball and lofted a high fly to left that originally looked like an out but kept carrying on a 90-degree day in Denver, giving him a second homer.
"I made the pitch I wanted to Arenado -- he just got enough of it to get it over the fence," Vogelsong said. "I jammed him up pretty good. I thought it was a fly ball when he first hit it. That was another one (to Dickerson) that I thought was a pretty good pitch, a curveball down and away. He barreled it. He hit it pretty good.
"It's an adventure out there. The ball flies here during the day."
Vogelsong gave up a career-high fourth homer in the sixth and left with two runners on. Juan Gutierrez cashed both of them in.
A day after overcoming a six-run deficit in a 12-7 win, the Giants went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position. They scored 23 runs in the series but lost two of three after winning the completion of a suspended game from May 22.
"It's just disappointing," Vogelsong said. "I felt we were set up here to have a good game and take the series. It's disappointing to have results like that."
The trip only gets harder, with 15-game winner Rick Porcello and former Cy Young winner David Price set to take the mound for Detroit in the first two games of this weekend's set. With days quickly falling off the calendar, the Giants are running out of time to make up ground. This three-game series seemed fertile ground for two wins, maybe a sweep, but the Giants fell short.
"You've got to come ready to play every day," Vogelsong said. "Guys aren't going to roll over for us."
"I ran in and just kind of stopped and looked up at everything going on in the stadium," he said. "It was like, 'Wow, this is cool!' "

Porcello 15-9), 4:08 p.m. CSNBA

The world is divided into two kinds of people. First there are the fellow-golfers – it doesn't matter who you are, if you play golf we'll gladly offer you a hand, a place to stay and several half-baked swing tips. Then there are the other people. We don't preach to them or tell them about our amazing sand save last weekend. We certainly don't try to convert them, for tee times are scarce enough. Mostly we pity them for they know not.
Golfers tend to think that an enlightened person is someone who plays golf, and an enlightened country is one that affords its citizens plenty of opportunities to do so. Of course, such a country needs many other attributes to be able to meet such a lofty goal – details like a stable government, a robust economy and an affluent, healthy, unpersecuted population. And plenty of grass, too, preferably on lightly undulating sandy soil that drains well after an unexpected downpour. Though it might be too much for even a golfer to claim that golf and civilisation are synonymous, the existence of the former might at least provide some evidence of the latter.
This is the third edition of Planet Golf, Golf Digest's biennial rankings of courses in 100 different countries, compiled with the help of our network of 30 international editions and affiliate magazines, plus many other friends in golf around the world. With a bit of advance notice, almost all of the courses in our rankings – private clubs included – will be happy to let you play in exchange for a few yuan, rand or rupee.
We can only remove our left-hand glove and applaud New Zealand, which not only has the best new entrant to our Planet Golf listings in the shape of Kauri Cliffs, but also offers its citizens one course for every 9,137 people, a better ratio than any other nation with a population of more than a million. (For the record the rest of the Top 10 is Australia, Canada, the United States, Sweden, the UK, Norway, Denmark and Finland, with Japan 11th. We are the fortunate ones.)
There is much work to be done, however. Afghanistan's sole course, Qargha Lake Golf Club outside Kabul, is currently a minefield strewn with shell craters and abandoned artillery. And there are roughly 50 nations that still have no golf courses whatsoever. Some, such as Tuvalu and Liechtenstein, suffer tremendous geographic hardships. Others face hardships of altogether different kinds, most notably Ukraine (with a population of 48 million), Sudan (38 million), Algeria (33 million) and Iraq (25 million).
When all countries embrace golf, might there be hope for peace on earth?

Nebraskas growing grape industry is feeling the burn of chemical drift.
But last year, Barton Holmquist a grape grower near Eagle lost three tons of grapes or about $3,000 because of suspected 2,4-D spray drift from a neighbor.
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture tried to find who it was, but the spray couldve travelled for an unknown number of miles, depending on wind and temperature, he said.
Youve all undoubtedly gone down a country road and smelled a skunk, he said. Thats a volatile chemical thats not too far different than 2,4-D.
Holmquist is one of about 24 grape growers in the state and one of three testifiers at an Agriculture Committee hearing March 5 who favored Legislative Bill 636, which would regulate herbicide spraying.
Sen. Norman Wallman of Cortland sponsored LB 636, which focused on the herbicide 2,4-D, but also includes other herbicides. Beginning April 15, 2015, and continuing yearly April 15 through Sept. 15, anyone spraying such chemicals would have to notify the Nebraska Department of Agriculture at least 72 hours in advance of an application if its within four miles of a sensitive crop.
He said he hesitated to propose the bill at first, as a corn and soybean grower who uses 2,4-D.
But once I realized the magnitude and the loss the grape growers observed and the ongoing problems many are facing as a result of careless application, I decided something had to be done, Wallman said.
Sensitive crops include some fruits, vegetables, beehives and organic crops. If the ground is sprayed, crops grown there can't be sold as organic for three years, according to the National Organic Program.
About 16 off-target applications of chemicals were mentioned in a Nebraska Department of Agriculture newsletter, said Brent Meyer, superintendent at the Lancaster County Weed Control Authority.
This is not a huge problem, he said, but it is a serious problem and it happens. Off-target sprayers need to be punished under existing state and federal laws that say the chemical label is the law, he said. If people dont follow the chemical label, there are already potential fines, so he said the weed control authority opposed the bill.
Other testifiers opposing the bill said the states unpredictable weather would make it hard to notify the agriculture department in advance. The solution could be education about the existing laws and communication among neighbors. Several said Drift Watch, a voluntary program that maps sensitive crops, should be used by people who dont want to get drifted on as well as by those who want to spray.
If you turn something loose in the environment, you ought to be responsible for where it lands, said Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha, adding he didnt know if this particular bill solved the problem.
Scott Merritt, executive director of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, said his group wasnt against organic or specialty crops, but the program should remain voluntary.
Everybody has to take responsibility for some of their own, he said.
Don Albrecht, a grape grower, said Nebraska can learn a lesson from Iowa that went through similar a time of increased lawsuits dealing with specialty crops and drift because state law relied on people following labels.
If were smart, we wont do that, he said. Well find a middle ground.
John Lindquist, a professor of agronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, testified in a neutral position on the bill and gave a few pros and cons. Technology has gotten better so spray drift isnt as common as it used to be, but herbicides are being used more because of glyphosate, or RoundUp, resistant weeds, he said.
People are spraying 2,4-D to kill the glyphosate resistant weeds, but that increases the amount of chemical spray and possibility of 2,4-D resistant weeds. On the other hand, he indicated the 72-hour advance notice requirement would give sprayers less of a window to spray noxious weeds and he said the four-mile radius was an overreach.
Wallman said he could agree to change the four-mile rule, but he wasnt ready to withdraw the bill.
Introducing it (the bill) is the least I can do to bring light to this important issue, he said.

Thanks to a quirk in the schedule, the Mountain East Conference's version of teacher vs. pupil didn't happen in 2013.
It won't take long to get that matchup underway this year.
After not playing last year, Charleston and West Virginia Wesleyan will begin the 2014 slate against each other with a 1 p.m. kickoff scheduled for Saturday in Buckhannon.
The matchup will pit second-year Bobcats coach George Shehl against his former team. Shehl served as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach from 2011-2012 under current UC coach Pat Kirkland.
"I like to think I hire guys that have ambitions to continue to do well, and most of these guys I think want to become head coaches," Kirkland said. "George is a guy that was very organized and very structured, I knew that being a head coach was his ultimate goal and I'm very happy for him."
Shehl has since switched his emphasis from defense to offense, but his defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Wesleyan, Todd Nelson, served as the defensive line coach at UC in 2012, so plenty of the Golden Eagles' concepts can be seen on that side of the ball as well.
"Their defense is exactly what we did two years ago, it's the same," Kirkland said of Wesleyan. "Now, Coach Shehl played under [former WVU and current Arizona coach] Rich [Rodriguez] and I think he took a lot of what he did on the offensive side of the ball."
Whether the familiarity is an advantage for either side is debatable, although Kirkland said if it favors either side it will favor the Bobcats slightly.
"For them, it's an advantage because I've never been with that staff," Kirkland said. "George knows me and knows that I'm pretty much a creature of habit, so they probably have a better understanding of what they're up against than we do."
Although he added, "I'd like to think we've made some adjustments and become more multiple than when he was here."
▪ ▪ ▪
While not playing a conference opponent one year and then opening the season with that opponent the next season is hardly a normal practice, if anyone is used to odd scheduling, it's Kirkland and the Golden Eagles.
Consider only five of UC's 11 games this year will be at home. Last year, only four out of the Eagles' 11 games were played at University of Charleston Stadium.
While the Golden Eagles got six home games in 2012, they had to endure a block of four straight road contests leading up to the season finale. A 14-10 loss at Glenville State eventually knocked UC out of a share of the then-West Virginia Conference title.
"The scheduling when we moved to the Mountain East is really weird," Kirkland said. "You happen to see a team you didn't play the year before in the first game the following year? I've never seen that before, but it's the same way for both teams."
And then there are the perils of opening up with a conference game, especially on the road, leaving no margin for error right out of the gate.
"Obviously, it's not ideal," Kirkland said. "We're blessed to be in the city of Charleston and have a great stadium and tremendous community support, and anytime you're not at home and you've got to travel there will be issues."
▪ ▪ ▪
Aside from the surrounding story lines, Kirkland believes his team is making great strides as the Wesleyan game plan has been slowly implemented this week.
"A lot of it is we are really putting an emphasis on our game plan for Wesleyan," Kirkland said. "The install is in, now we're taking the playbook and really focusing on the things we plan on doing and seeing on September 6th. It's the first game and no one has a crystal ball, they could've changed what they're doing with their personnel and scheme-wise — hopefully we can stay healthy because we've got some guys that are beat up and haven't practiced in a long time."
UC is also preparing for who Kirkland called "the best player in the conference" in senior Wesleyan quarterback Jeremy Musselman, who threw for 2,490 yards and 20 touchdowns last season as the Bobcats finished at 5-5 overall and 5-4 in the league.

As a certified teacher who has been out of the classroom for many years and is now back in the field, it was just what I needed for considering a certification in special education. Thank you so much.
EXCELLENT COURSE! I would highly recommend this course to any teacher that deals with any type of student. The teaching tips can be used for a seasoned or new instructor.
Good information with lots of practical suggestions to try right away. Very useful.
I highly recommend this course even to those veterans in the teaching profession. More students are being diagnosed with LD and we all need to be prepared to work with them.
I loved Sara's positive and practical knowledge of the classroom. The additional resources she recommended were great. I would love to take some more classes under her.
I will be co-teaching next year. This was a wonderful prep course and review of some valued strategies I hope to incorporate and revisit. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for the fresh ideas to help LD children. I especially enjoyed the language arts and writing ideas.
The instructor was very organized and thorough. I like the fact that she started with the basics and didn't assume what we already knew (or didn't know for that matter!). Sara has a great writing style and it made the lessons fun and easy to read. Thanks for a wonderful online class!
This class was very useful, especially for new teachers. I feel a teacher in any subject /grade would benefit and develop a better understanding of students with a learning disability.
This was the very BEST internet class I have ever taken! Our instructor was wonderful, very interactive, and all lessons were relevant and useful!! I would look forward to taking any other course that this instructor teaches!!
I am not an educator. I [recently] retired from AACO Detention Center, I have a strong desire, no, a love to teach LD STUDENTS. The instructor kept my interest and left me wanting more! She did a super job and I will be looking for other classes to take with her.
Wonderful course - loved the practical suggestions!
This class was very useful, especially for new teachers. I feel a teacher in any subject/grade would benefit and develop a better understanding of students with a learning disability.
The course and instructor were excellent. The list of supplementary materials was very thorough and helpful when seeking further information on specific topics. The instructor was also very helpful when seeking information on keyboarding sites for LD students. This class is a must!
This is one of the best on-line classes that I have ever had. The instructor made learning interesting and fun. It is apparent that she knows her subject very well. If I had a child with a learning disability I would want her to be his teacher!
When I signed up for this course, I was looking for some help with LD students . I found this course to be very helpful and the instructor was awesome.
Thank you, Sara, for providing such a valuable and informative class online. I appreciate being able to work towards both professional, as well as personal growth/development, with online classes. This class has impacted me both with my students in my Special Day class, as well as at home with my son, who has Discalculia. The format was clear, well-organized, and easy to navigate. I've checked out a couple of the resources you recommended from the library. It has been an absolute pleasure taking your class. Thanks again!

Photo gallery: Bonita-La Serna girls water polo
CLAREMONT - La Serna High School felt just making the CIF-Southern Section girls water polo Final Four was enough of an accomplishment last season.
That was then, and this is now. And this time, the Lancers were hoping to reach a little higher and because of the senior Gabby Pierandozzi, they reached their goal.
Pierandozzi scored four goals, all in the fourth quarter, and goalie Jacqui Verdugo blocked a shot with 15 seconds left and the Lancers advanced to the championship round with a 10-9 victory over top-seed Bonita Wednesday in a Division 4 semifinal at Pomona College.
La Serna, also getting two goals each from Isabella Villa and Jenel Rivera, improved to 21-10 and will face Troy, which defeated Los Altos, 7-6, in the finals at William Woollett Aquatic Center in Irvine.
The time will be determined today.
Bonita, which received six goals from Natalie Rivas and 10 saves from goalie Millie Moro, finished 23-8. The Bearcats had a chance to tie, but Angela Gomez' shot with 13 seconds was blocked by Verdugo.
"Once we wrapped up league, our most important goal was to get to the CIF finals," La Serna coach Erin Brown said. "We were really concentrating on getting to that final game. It's the most important thing this year."
It was beginning like the Lancers might come up short again. La Serna, which rallied back from a 3-0 deficit during the first quarter to draw even at 5-5 at halftime, fell behind 7-5 going into the fourth quarter.
Enter Pierandozzi, who took control.
The senior captain tied it at 7-7 after scoring a penalty shot at 6:27 before making an off-balance shot from the hole at 5:52.
Rivera, after Bonita went ahead 8-7 on a goal by Rivas, tied it at 8-8 with a turnaround shot from the hole at 4:29.
Pierandozzi then gave La Serna its only lead after scoring goals at 4:08 and 3:26.
"I was just stepping up because we had a lot of girls in foul trouble," Pierandozzi said.
"It was like, `Just do what you got to do.' I'm just really proud."
Bonita wasn't quite ready to concede, however. The Bearcats, who scored a 14-10 victory over La Serna earlier this season, cut the deficit to 10-9 on a shot from Rivas from the hole at 1:02.
Then they turned away the Lancers to set up a final chance to tie. The ball went to Rivas in the hole, but she was forced to toss it to Gomez, whose shot was blocked.
"They were trying to double team me," Rivas said. "I couldn't do anything, so I let my teammates try."
Bonita, getting back-to-back goals from Rivas and a score from Sammy Snow, jumped out to a 3-0 lead. But La Serna rallied to tie it at 5-5 after scoring five goals in the second quarter, including two by Villa.

Porthleven 5 Truro City Reserves 1
A five star display from Porthleven at Gala Parc helped secure Dennis Annear's side their first victory in the league since October, as the Fishermen demolished Truro City Reserves 5-1.
It was the kind of performance Port have threatened to deliver all season, with new signing Chris Blango and midfielder Thomas Hawkin each bagging a brace as Anthony Reynolds's side were routed.
A miserable afternoon for Truro City was compounded by the news soon after that Reynolds had resigned from his position.
The former Hayle boss joined the club in July last year, steering a resurgent Truro to within three points of third placed Helston Athletic in division one west.
Truro managed a late consolation goal thanks to a goalkpeeping howler from Port player manager Dennis Annear in the sixth minute of extra time.
But it did little to take the gloss of the result for the home side, who were well worth the win.
Prior to the game both sets of players observed a minute's silence in memory of lifetime supporter Mainor Ruberry, who sadly passed away on December 27.
And he would no doubt have been proud with the way Port set about Truro right from the whistle, with Jordan Annear's long range effort testing visiting keeper Barry Wyatt inside five minutes.
Scott Palmer registered Truro's first effort on goal when he broke clear of the Porthleven back line, but shot straight at Dennis Annear with only the keeper to beat.
Port's opener came on the half hour mark, Tom Annear's superb cross field ball picking out Chris Wormington on the right.
Porthleven's Matt Best put in a man-of-the-match performance, with Thomas Hawkin and Chris Blango each scoring a brace.
The youngster cut inside his marker and cracked a low drive at goal which Wyatt could only parry into the path of Hawkin, who nodded in.
Truro's Zak Williams forced a superb save out of Dennis Annear with a powerful header, but some good football from the home side produced the second goal on the stroke of half time.
Sam Kay exchanged passes with Jordan Annear, who found the feet of Jed McCardie.
McCardie's threaded through ball was inch perfect, and there was Hawkin to drive the ball under Wyatt.
Things went from bad to worse for Truro after the break when a run and cross by Tom Annear found Christian Blango ten yards out, and the striker hammered a first time volley into the back of the net.
And Tom Annear registered the goal of the game soon after to put Port 4-0 up.
A Hawkin corner saw the ball bounce loose in the box before finding Annear with his back to goal 12 yards out.
The youngster turned and hammered an unstoppable drive high inti the back of the net.
Barry Wyatt tries in vain to reach the ball after being dispossessed by Christian Blango for Port's fifth goal.
Port added insult to injury in the 85th minute when Wyatt tried to take the ball past Blango, only for the striker to dispossess him and tap in to an empty net.
Truro managed a consolation goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time when a break down the right saw the ball squared for Tom Langford, and his shot was fumbled over the line by Dennis Annear.
But by then the result was beyond doubt.

My internship students must keep a notebook of important paperwork (time sheets, schedules, evaluations) at their internship location and then turn it in to me at the end of the semester. Prior to using the view notebook, students always had trouble keeping track of their notebooks and, consequently, their paperwork.
Now students use the view binder and Avery templates to create cover sheets and spine labels. Their notebooks look nice and are never mistaken for employers' files. Since requiring the view notebook, problems have disappeared. Additionally, the binders are sturdy and get used in multiple internships and get passed from one student to the next.
The view binder is perfect for using as an internship notebook for technical college students.

Pittsburgh – Although Dick's Sporting Goods reported a year-over-year increase in revenues for first quarter 2013, performance still fell short of Wall Street expectations. The sporting goods retailer reported first quarter revenues of $1.33 billion, a 4% increase from $1.28 billion. However, analysts expected revenues for the quarter to total $1.36 billion.
Net income grew 13%, from $57.2 million to $64.8 million.
"In the first quarter, we generated earnings in line with our original guidance, but were not pleased with our sales results, which came in below our expectations," said Edward W. Stack, chairman and CEO.
Stack said Dick's will focus on store remodeling, tighter inventory management and closer cooperation with golf vendors to boost near-term performance.

The Miami Marlins broke verbal promises to shortstop Jose Reyes and left-hander Mark Buehrle that they wouldn't trade them, according to FoxSports.com.
Reyes, Buehrle and reliever Heath Bell all signed with the team last offseason, though none was given a no-trade clause. Bell was dealt to the Arizona Diamondbacks last month, and Reyes and Buehrle are part of this week's 12-player swap with the Toronto Blue Jays that is awaiting commissioner Bud Selig's approval.
Before signing with Miami, Buehrle was concerned about the franchise's history of dumping high-priced players. But FoxSports.com reports Marlins president David Samson assured Buehrle and his wife that wouldn't happen and that the team was committed to long-term success. He signed a four-year, $58 million deal.
A source also told FoxSports.com that Reyes, who signed a six-year, $106 million contract, was given the same verbal assurance that he would be there for the long haul.
"The answer is yes. A vehement yes," the source told the website when asked about Reyes.
Not only are there family concerns for Buehrle and Reyes, there also is the issue of much higher tax rates in Canada than in Florida. Plus, Buehrle owns a pit bull, a dog breed that is outlawed in Toronto.
With the Marlins in fire-sale mode again, one player agent already had speculated that they would have a tough time convincing any free agents to sign there in the future.
"No one's ever going there again," the agent told The Miami Herald. "They're going to have to overpay by 25 percent to get guys to come there now. They basically took the no-trade clauses and stuck them up Reyes' and Buehrle's (expletive). There's no integrity in anything that they do and anything that they've said."
Added the agent: "They're the laughingstock of baseball. Miami is now baseball's Siberia."

Not only did "Les Mis" star Anne Hathaway take home major Golden Globes hardware, she also scored raves for her winning look from her gorgeous gown to her hair and makeup.
Here's how you can achieve her red carpet beauty!
WHO: Chanel Celebrity Makeup Artist Kate Lee
INSPIRATION: Annie wore an ice-white beaded gown by CHANEL with CHANEL Fine Jewelry! The look was elegant, but still youthful and light. I felt that the makeup should mirror this, and wanted Annie to appear as if lit from within, so I concentrated on making the complexion as tactile as possible, and added a dash of blue pink to the lips as a focal point.
SKINCARE: CHANEL Hydra Beauty Serum followed by CHANEL Base Lumière Illuminating Makeup Base.
FOUNDATION: I used CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to keep the skin looking radiant. I added a small amount of CHANEL Perfection Lumière Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 only where needed.
BLUSH: On the cheekbones, I used a light sweeping touch of Poudre Signée de Chanel Illuminating Powder to illuminate the bone structure; I also followed this along the clavicle and over the shoulder blades. On the apple of the cheek, I used a pale peach blush to contrast the lip color.
EYES: I defined Annie's eye socket with CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Fauve which is a delicious grey/lilac shade. I ran the color along the base of the lower lashes to finish the look.
MASCARA: Lashes were curled and given a coat of CHANEL Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir. I then added a selection of lashes for a customized shape.
LIPS: Lips were CHANEL Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in Sedusicante, the perfect pink for a perfect pout.
WHO: Frederic Fekkai's Adir Abergel
THE LOOK: A loose, romantic style inspired by Anne's Chanel gown and vintage Chanel advertisements from the 1990s and early 2000s (featuring model Stella Tennant)
Begin by applying Fekkai COIFF Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel on freshly washed hair. Spray the hair from roots to ends to create maximum volume and add texture.
As hair begins to naturally dry, finger-comb it into place. Finish drying the hair by blow drying it with a diffuser, using only your hands to create soft, natural waves.
Next, apply Fekkai COIFF Nonchalant Piecing & Forming Wax to add additional texture and intensify the look.
Finish the look with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray for strong, yet flexible hold that will last all night.

MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS to Play Tacoma Little Theatre, 6/13-22
The zany comedy, Moonlight and Magnolias, directed by Pavlina Morris, slips onto the TLT stage this June.
It's 1939 and Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick (Blake York) has shut down production of his new epic, "Gone with the Wind", a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn't work. So what's an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht (Tedd Saint-James) and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming (Jacob Tice) from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts provided by the overworked Miss Poppenghul (Katelyn Hoffman), the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
Moonlight and Magnolias will run Friday, June 13, 2014 until Sunday, June 22, 2014. Friday and Saturday showings are at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. This show is recommended for ages 12 and up.
Tickets are $12.00 and may be purchased online at www.tacomalittletheatre.com, or by calling our Box Office at (253) 272-2281.

Smoak comes off DL, assigned to Tacoma
CHICAGO -- The Mariners activated first baseman Justin Smoak off the 15-day disabled list on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma, which means Logan Morrison will remain the club's first baseman even now that Smoak is done with his rehab assignment.
Smoak, 27, has been Seattle's starting first baseman since being acquired from the Rangers at the trade deadline in 2010, but the Mariners will stick with Morrison as he's hit .267 with four home runs and 14 RBIs since coming off the disabled list himself on June 10.
"It's tough, but we only have so many spots," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "LoMo has been playing extremely well and has been a big lift for us and Smoaky will continue to get at-bats there and get sharp. Listen, at some point he'll be helping this club again."
Smoak went on the 15-day disabled list on June 10 with a strained left quad muscle. He hit .204 (10-for-49) with five walks, three doubles, one home run and three RBIs in 13 rehab games. Position players can only stay on a Minor League rehab for 20 days, so the club would have needed to make a decision on Smoak by Tuesday.
Since Smoak had a Minor League option remaining, the choice was made Friday to option him to Tacoma so he can keep playing.
"He just needs to work on his skills," McClendon said. "He's a Major League player. He just has to bide his time there, stay healthy, get some at-bats and swing the bat good."
Smoak got off to a good start this season, but struggled for the month before going on the DL and was hitting .208 with 12 doubles, seven homers and 29 RBIs in 63 games. He's batted .225 with 74 home runs and 233 RBIs in five seasons in the Majors.

What I do know is that every once in a while, and this happened during the GSW game, Danny will react to getting a rebound or swing pass by chucking up a contested three and leaving his teammates visibly wondering what the hell he's doing. He may feel like he has expectations now and has to choose poor shot selection occasionally. It doesn't really matter, he can do what he wants because he's Danny Granger. The condition is that he has to continue being Danny Granger, though.
This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So you are ok with 41% shooting, 35% 3pt shooting, taking 9 3pt shots a game(1 3pter less than half of the 3pters the team takes per game), poor shot selection, poor "D", poor handles, and poor leadership and attitude all b/c he lost some teeth last year against the Celtics. Personally, I expect more from a player who just got a 5 year 60 mil contract and was an Allstar last year. We definately have different expectations.
If his poor play is due to injuries, then shut him down, b/c this team is going no where anyway. I don't want to see another player playing b4 his injuries are healed.... been there too many times in the past. It's counter productive, and not in the best interest of Granger's future health or the Pacers.
I'll criticize Danny for his lack of leadership this season. He often seems lost in his own performance. From what I see on the court this season danny seems less like a leader than he was last season and last season he wasn't a leader either. So I would give him a solid D for his leadership.
Defense I'll be honest I have not focused on his defense, overall I would say it is better than last season, but not as good as it should be
Danny is a very good player who will be at his best as part of a real team effort.
He is NOT an unstoppable superstar scorer. He has HAD to do too much shooting for this offensively challenged team the past 2 seasons. Now he's hurt and can't move well, so he's shooting jumpers when the defenders know he can't move so they are crowding him more.
When Dunleavy is back healthy and Roy grows into his role and they take some of the scoring pressure off Danny, then I think we'll see the old player again.
On a good team, with balanced scoring, he will be a real force.
Why would Danny want to play for a coach that allows him to slack on defense and chuck shots whenever? sarcasm out
I just wonder what's up with his ball handling. I feel like if anything it's worse than last year. Certainly not better.
I think it's related to his reluctance to bend his knees very far. He's keeping the dribble higher and it appears teams are scouting that and digging. Why he's not bending his knees is the bigger story.
I think Danny deserves more criticism than any player not named TJ or Troy. How is the rest of the team supposed to react when the team leader is only leading the team in bad shots?

I agree with those who feel that there are too many unrealistic expectations on Danny. No matter how you slice it Basketball is a team sport, and that is from the PTB, to the coaches to the 12th guy. We keep trying to run our team like we are ready to be playoff contenders when really we should concentrate on trying to put together a team. It seems like every night we have been getting killed by some young or unknown player like Mathews, Morrow, or Singleton who gets significant minutes while a better known higher paid player sits and watches from the bench. I also keep hearing from the coach how he wants to narrow our rotation down to nine players. That is what a playoff team does! We need to be concentrating on who plays well together and who we should keep and who we should be trying to package together for a trade. The other night on TBS Doug Collins said that he spoke with Phil Jackson and asked him. "How much of coaching in todays league is about Xs and Os, and how much is simply managing players?" Phil answered that 80% is managing and 20% is Xs and Os.
Protect the Promise!!!!
What the hell would Phil know about today's average coach? He has the most talent in the league %90 of the time, and rarely has to worry about X's and O's.
Ask guys like Mike D'Antoni or Jerry Sloan or Lawrence Frank that question.

My point is that Basketball is a team sport and you have to have talent to compete. D'Antoni, Frank, and Sloan would say the same thing, because none of them are winning anything without talent, heck Sloan's got about six or seven coveted players on his squad currently. Besides Danny,we have an entire team of players that could not start or supplant another teams starter at thier position.
Protect the Promise!!!!
Plenty of coaches have talent but can't win with them.
Ask a coach that has to work with average talent that question. I'd prefer to hear Jerry Sloan's opinion over Phil Jackson's. Sloan doesn't Cherry-pick the best player in the NBA every year.

I introduced myself to this forum with a post to criticize Granger for his lack of leadership, toughness (more mentally, than physically) and his over reliance on what essentially amounts to nothing more than gunning it every chance he gets.
Danny had a great year last year, but most of this board thought that meant he was great. He's a good NBA player. He's not great.

Camp Pendleton Marines conducted an activation ceremony on Wednesday for the headquarters unit that will supervise the wind down of Marine forces in southern Afghanistan over the next year.
Brig. Gen. Daniel Yoo and Sgt. Maj. Douglas Berry uncased the battle colors for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Forward. They will be the commanding general and sergeant major for the force.
That unit will deploy to Helmand province in southwestern Afghanistan in early 2014 to take over responsibility for the Regional Command Southwest, currently being run by Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Yoo called the day a milestone.
"It's historic because we've helped the country reestablish its sovereignty and hopefully integrate into the international community … and be stable and inclusive," said the one-star general, who was until recently the commanding general of the Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego.
"As we move out of there, I think all of us have a lot of friends that we've left behind in that country."
This week's ceremony was something of a bookend to a similar event in October 2009, when Camp Pendleton stood up a brigade headquarters to lead the surge of Marines back into Afghanistan.
At that time, the Marines were coming off six years of hard combat in Iraq, which siphoned attention away from the Afghanistan war.
In December 2009, President Barack Obama announced that 30,000 American troops would flow to Afghanistan in an attempt to end the war there.
Since then, the Marines – including Camp Pendleton's 1st Marine Expeditionary Force – have weathered heavy fighting and casualties in order to pacify the volatile Helmand Province, a longtime stronghold for the Taliban.
Obama has set the end of 2014 as the deadline to withdraw most American forces.
Negotiations to keep roughly 10,000 U.S. forces there as a stability measure have been contentious.
There currently are an estimated 87,000 international troops in Afghanistan, including about 52,000 Americans.

A series of storms has pounded Northern California, including Willits, this December. While unusual, the 18.2 inches that has fallen on Willits as of December 27 is by no means record-breaking-the 30.2 inches that fell in December 2005 has that honor.
More rainfall is predicted tonight and into Saturday, with drier but foggy conditions expected through New Year's Day.
Willits usually receives 49.77 inches of rainfall annually, with 7.83 inches falling in an "average" December. Since this "rain year" began October 1, Willits has received 33 inches.
On average, the heaviest rain month for Willits is January, with 9.8 inches, followed by February, with 8.78 inches. Despite these averages, local rainfall can be quite variable depending upon the jet stream.
Since 1878, the total seasonal rainfall has ranged from a high of 85 inches to a low of 16.88 inches.

Man freed over sexual assault allegations after 540 days behind bars
A man has been freed over the sexual assault of a sleeping Canberra teenager after spending more than 540 days behind bars.
Kevin Henry O'Rafferty, 43 and his co-offender Jason Heath Dodd, 41, were convicted in June last year of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old as she lay in Dodd's Stuart Flats unit in the early hours of May 18, 2012.
The teenage victim had gone to Mr Dodd's place with a friend, and the pair were drinking.
She gave evidence that she fell asleep on the couch, but woke in the early hours of the morning to find some of her clothes removed, and Dodd and O'Rafferty sexually assaulting her.
She said she blacked out and woke again to find the assault continuing.
The young woman woke in a bedroom later that morning and left in distress.
Dodd and O'Rafferty both faced a jury trial before the ACT Supreme Court in June last year.
There was no DNA evidence linking O'Rafferty to the crime, and some evidence suggested he left the flat and wasn't present at the time of the assault.
O'Rafferty was found guilty of one count of sexual intercourse without consent and sentenced to a maximum of five years imprisonment.
But he appealed his conviction, arguing the trial judge Acting Justice John Nield had failed to fairly put his case to the jury.
He also argued Justice Nield's directions to the jury about the victim's evidence of complaining to others about the assault gave rise to a miscarriage of justice.
The judge, his lawyers argued, also failed to direct the jury about the dangers of identification evidence.
The ACT Court of Appeal upheld the appeal on Thursday, setting aside O'Rafferty's conviction, and ordering a new trial.
"The case put on behalf of Mr O'Rafferty was not adequately put to the jury by the trial judge," the judges wrote.
"Indeed we think the problem is compounded by the fact that the trial judge suggested that, save in one respect, the complainant's accounts were consistent."
"Significantly his honour did not put the other alternative to the jury - that Mr O'Rafferty was present but did not sexually assault the complainant."
That, the full bench found, deprived O'Rafferty of a real chance of acquittal and led to a miscarriage of justice.
O'Rafferty was given bail and will face a second trial later this year.

CHINO – The passage of Proposition 30 will allow Chino Valley Unified board members to restore up to $15 million in programs and positions.
During a budget study session on Tuesday Superintendent Wayne Joseph presented board members with a list of 18 items he's recommending the board can restore to this school year and next. Those items total about $10 million.
"Proposition 30 passing didn't take money away nor did it give us new money but it did allow us to go back and scrutinize what items the board may want to restore to the budget," said Julie Gobin, district spokeswoman.
Board members cannot take any action at the budget study sessions, they can ask questions and request more information to be brought back to their next meeting for either discussion or as an action item.
Their next regular meeting is Feb. 7.
The study session on Tuesday also warned board members of what the district will be faced with in the future – Gov. Jerry Brown's temporary tax measure, the possibility of a new charter school opening in the district and the implementation of Common Core State Standards, which has been heard to cost $5 million to execute.
Voters approved Brown's temporary tax measure or Proposition 30 in November.
The proposition is anticipated to raise about $6 billion in annual revenues for most years; about $2.9 billion will go to kindergarden to 12th grade and community colleges in the current school year.
Governor Brown's 2012-13 state General Fund budget already accounted for the anticipated revenues to the proposition.
The temporary tax measure will increase state sales tax by a quarter cent for four years and will increase state personal tax on annual earning more than $250,000 for seven years.
If the proposition failed the district would have had a negative ending balance of $15 million from their budget in 2014-15 school year, officials said.
District staff will now prepare its second interim report, which will include finances through the end of January.
This will be presented to the board March 15.

Decorating With Gold
Gilded accents are hot.
Abstract artwork and chinoiserie vases add interest to an all-white space.
Simple white cotton upholstery creates an interesting contrast with the formal gold frame of this settee. Dressed up with a mix of brightly patterned throw pillows, this antique piece is at home in a modern living room.
Warm up white with understated hits of gold.
Delicate golden birds printed on the wallpaper, a metallic sheen on the French château-style bed frame and a brushed gold Moroccan-style pendant light fixture make this monochromatic bedroom glow. The dramatic mosaic bust in white gold is a bold touch in an otherwise restrained space.
Find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Rooms With Warm Metal Accents and Decorating With Gold.
Update antiques with bright, modern fabrics.
Anna Spiro, creator and author of the design blog Absolutely Beautiful Things, had this antique gilded chair custom upholstered in a vibrant striped fabric. The contemporary print creates an interesting effect when paired with the formal frame of a bergere chair. See the rest of Anna's house in our May 2010 issue.

Add a subtle sheen to your walls with metallic gold wallpaper.
"I fell in love with the pattern of this wallpaper and was determined to use it," says homeowner, stylist and regular H&H contributor Arren Williams. "Inspired by a vintage 1950s fabric, it really fits in with our aesthetic. And its livable, soft metallic tones add warmth and offset other colours in the room, like the bold turquoise of the vintage lamp and the purple of Spot's dog bed."

Create vignettes to display personal treasures.
"I got this mirror in a trade for an old computer from a friend of mine, who'd had the mirror forever," says House & Home editor in Suzanne Dimma. "It was falling apart, in a state of total disrepair. I had an artisan re-make it, by creating molds of the one side that was intact and duplicating it on the other side and re-guilding the entire thing. The entire top of the mirror was missing, and it was rebuilt by hand. It was a labour of love, but it's beautiful because it looks like it could have been imported from a French antique store." Now hanging in her living room, the mirror takes pride of place with books and other curios, including an antique clock that belonged to Suzanne's grandmother.
See more rooms from Suzanne's new house, plus her old house, in our gallery of Suzanne's houses.
Silk upholstery and a gold-leafed, carved frame create a feminine luxe bed.
Intricate floral etchings on this French chateau style bed only add to the glamour of its raw silk and damask tufted upholstery, scrolled feet and gilded mahogany frame. Entirely hand-crafted, this is an investment piece that will make a statement in any open-concept space or enclosed bedroom. Look for similar styles at your local antique shops.

Playing up classic elements in a small bathroom adds impact.
Matt Carr and Joyce Lo boosted the old world appeal of their Victorian home's bathroom by adding antique gold accessories to work with the textured wall and chair rail, hex-tiled floor and black pedestal bathtub. The result is a one-of-a-kind, vintage look.

Combine modern and traditional design for a stunning space.
"I love the architectural details of this living room," says Jen Ramos, author of the popular design blog MadeByGirl. "The wainscotting, ornate ceiling medallion and colonial mantle all add interest to this living room. The mix of the new and old pieces of furniture adds a great deal of character too, even with the minimal colour palette." A playful zebra-striped rug adds a hit of pattern and contrast with the dark floors.
Take a video tour of this glamorous apartment, guided by Suzanne Dimma, plus see more of Jen Ramos' favourite spaces in our MadeByGirl photo gallery.
An amethyst-hued rug and pillows and gold accents add rich colour and glamour to this space.
Purple mohair, velvet and satin accents contrast beautifully against a moleskin-brown sofa and drapes. A simple coffee table and side table keep the look classic.
Luxe details in the beauty mogul's closet include a vintage chandelier, mirrored dresser and a brass desk.
"Most people would have added a feminine French vanity and chair to a dressing room lined with romantic, hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper," says New York interior designer Heather Clawson, author of the popular blog, Habitually Chic. "I love that Aerin Lauder brought in a clean-lined, Italian brass desk from the 1970s by designer and architect Gabriella Crespi, instead. It picks up the gold in the paper without looking too girly or matchy-matchy. It's the chicest closet I have ever seen."
See more of Clawson's favourite interiors in our photo gallery.
A ho-hum table passes as a glam antique when gilded with inexpensive gold leaf.
Fresh wallpaper and a tailored settee work perfectly with this metallic coffee table. To learn how to create your own DIY gold leaf accent pieces, watch Michael Penney demonstrate on Online TV. Wear will occur over time, giving them the character of an heirloom.
