Biological: GC1008
1 mg/kg, IV infusion on Day 0 and monitored over 24 hours. Post infusion for safety up to 112 days.
Experimental: Cohort B
Dose Group
Biological: GC1008
2 mg/kg, IV infusion on Day 0 and monitored over 24 hours. Post infusion for safety up to 112 days.
Experimental: Cohort C
Dose Group
Biological: GC1008
4 mg/kg, IV infusion on Day 0 and monitored over 24 hours. Post infusion for safety up to 112 days.
Experimental: Cohort D
Dose Group
Biological: GC1008
0.3 mg/kg, IV infusion on Day 0 and monitored over 24 hours. Post infusion for safety up to 112 days.
Detailed Description:
Patients in each cohort will receive a single dose of GC1008 infusion at 1, 2, 4 or 0.3 mg/kg body weight. The higher dose cohort will not start until the first 28 days safety data for the lower dose cohort have been reviewed by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Cohort C and D will run concurrently with patients randomised to receive either a 4 or 0.3 mg/kg body weight dose, respectively. After receiving the infusion of GC1008 on Day 0, patients will be monitored for the 24 hours following the infusion. Patients will return periodically over the following 112 days for safety evaluations and clinical outcome assessments. Blood samples will be collected to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of single dose administration of GC1008 as well as for evaluation of markers of clinical efficacy

Beausoleil Haven't had a chance to see this outfit since they played NYC's Central Park about six years ago, but the group's contemporary Cajun stylings, highlighted by the so-pretty-you-could-cry work of fiddler and vocalist Michael Doucet, are pretty well state-of-the-art in the gumbo-loving world. And since Christmas is sneaking up, you might expect to hear a few of the yuletide ditties that Beausoleil contributed to last year's Alligator Stomp collection on Rhino. It's the sort of music Ñ rare amongst holiday-topical tunes -- that makes you want to not kill yourself. 8 p.m. Rockefeller''s, 3620 Washington Ave., 861-9365. $15. (B.T.)
Dave Alvin Alvin started collecting fans in the roots-rock furnace of the Blasters, and since splitting from that outfit in '86, he's popped up as a member of X and the Pleasure Barons, and as sideman on too many projects to name. Museum of Heart, on Hightone Records, is Alvin's third solo effort, and having already carved out a broad niche for himself exploring what he calls "American music," he''s digging even deeper in the same trough and coming up with treasures. A whole lot of people can make a good record, though, and Alvin's real power is best indicated by the line of people who have seen him before, queuing up at the door for tickets. This many people can be wrong, but this time they're not. 10 p.m. Fabulous Satellite Lounge, 3616 Washington, 869-COOL. (B.T.)

Michael Battey's Science Fair This UT grad tended bar, studied computer science, taught English and even slaved a bit here at the Press before finally settling down into the fulfilling career of performance art. In this consciousness-raising piece, Battey plays three whiz kids and their duller counterparts in a grade-school science fair. The contestants are the objects of study, and the audience is treated to a wide spectrum of emotions, from nausea to paranoia. You might want to meet Battey after the show -- he's also been a persuasive environmental activist in Japan and Brazil. 8 p.m. tonight; 9 p.m. Saturday. DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway, North Main & Naylor, 223-8346. $10; $9 members; $7 students & seniors. (C.K.)
Crazy Killed Mingus Record Release This damned deadline thing has kept me from hearing an advance of the new disk, Windows, but if it builds anything at all on the promise of the band's taped demo, start saving your allowance. Mingus has steadily turned into one of Houston's best alternative draws, and all those youngsters are crammed up near the stage for a reason: These kids have some genuinely exciting pop craft in them. Steal mom's purse. Buy a ticket. Buy a record. Buy a T-shirt if you don't already have one. And if there's any money left over, save it for a few years and buy yourself a drink. 9 p.m. Fitzgerald's, 2706 White Oak, 862-3838. $7. (B.T.)
Susanna Sharpe and Samba Polic Record Release Sharpe is Austin's answer to south-of-the border specialist Norma Zenteno, more or less, and considering the number of people presently mining this rhythmically rich territory, I'd say there's plenty of room for both, and more. Last time Sharpe was in town she didn't have much in the way of product to hawk, but that didn't stop her and her six-piece band from burning down Latin rhythms -- romantically slow to dizzyingly fast -- with a heavy dose of Russell Scanlon's jazz guitar. The CD being celebrated is A Musica Das Almas, self-produced, and it's an attractive package filled with eleven cuts by other writers (Milton Nascimento stands out) and Scanlon's originals. 9 p.m. McGonigel's Mucky Duck, 2425 Norfolk, 528-5999. $6. (B.T.)
December 11
Houston Rockets vs. Seattle Supersonics In a possible preview of the Western Conference playoff finals, these are two of the hottest teams in the NBA. If it weren't for a series of junk shots -- Sam Perkins' off-balanced turn-around and Derrick McKey's series of prayers -- the Rockets would've advanced to the conference finals. Incidentally, Seattle is the Rockets' playoff nemesis, having defeated Hakeem three times in the Rockets' last six post-season appearances. Despite taking the Suns to seven games in last season's conference finals, the Sonics inexplicably retooled; they traded away McKey and Dana Barros for Detlef Schrempf, and they signed ex-Hornet Kendall Gill. Explosive chemistry among the Seattle players is as frequent as Seattle thunderstorms, but as long as Nate McMillan
-- the biggest Rocket-killer of them all -- wears the green and yellow, expect a tight one. 7:30 p.m. The Summit, 10 Greenway Plaza, 629-3700. $11-$150. (A.H.)
Orange Show Closing Party They do this every year, but this time around the theme is a tribute to zydeco master Lonnie Mitchell, with performances by Pierre and the Zydeco Dots (4 p.m.), Willie Davis (5 p.m.), Paul Richards (5:30 p.m.), Lionel Stout (6 p.m.), Wilfred Thibideaux (7:30 p.m.) and Jabo, Texas Prince of Zydeco (8 p.m.). More talent is being added at press time, and at 9 p.m., whatever of the entourage isn't danced out will head to the Continental Zydeco Ballroom to continue the celebration with Wilfred Chevis. 3-8:30 p.m. The Orange Show, 2402 Munger, 926-6368. $3 Orange Show members; $5 non-members.
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult They're camp, they're hip, they're multimedia, and they do everything but shake you're butt for you. I used to think this stuff was just a little on the silly side, but the more I listen, the farther over the edge it slips. Techno meets House meets Dinner Theater meets Chicago Industrial and everyone tangos in triple time, which is almost always at least good fun to watch. Numbers, 300 Westheimer, 526-6551. (B.T.)
Michael Tilson Thomas The director-designate of the San Francisco Symphony conducts from the podium and the keyboard as the Houston Symphony presents a quartet of intriguing, even tantalizing compositions. Claude Debussy noted his Prelude to Afternoon of a Faun as a "very free illustration and in no way a synthesis" of Stephane Mallarme's poem by the same name. And his La Mer evokes impressionist images of sunlight on ocean waves. Other eclectic offerings include Bernstein's Suite from A Quiet Place and Gershwin's Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra. 8 p.m.; Sun., Dec. 11, 2:30 p.m.; Mon., Dec. 12, 8 p.m. Jones Hall, 615 Louisiana, 227-ARTS. $10-$49. (C.K.)
Buzzcocks The Buzzcocks made some great rock singles in the late '70s, no doubt about it, and the way they applied punk rock sound to pop love songs has proved to be a far more enduring influence on American pop and punk than the Sex Pistols ever were. After splitting for nigh on eight years and reuniting in 1989, vocalist Pete Shelley and increasingly visible guitarist/vocalist Steve Diggle are touring again amidst a slight flurry of activity, including a new release on Caroline, Trade Test Transmissions. They don't seem to have lost anything over the years except a favorable musical climate in which to thrive. How else to explain why the band sounds so good, yet just shy of relevant? TheyÕll probably play some hits, but I doubt this show will move anybody but people remembering something else. Doughboys open. 7 p.m. The Asylum, 6134 Airline, 554-9957 or 694-6623. (B.T.)
Afro-Dance The Multi-Expressive, Dramatic and Informative Artist networking association hosts this, its first-ever musical-theatre production. Based on the evolution of African-American music, dance and theatre, this show features such local talent as Israel McCloud, Denise McInnis, Phyllis K. Gooden, Samuel Dinkins and Stephanie Aldridge. 7 p.m. Midtown Art Center, 3412 LaBranch, 526-7996. $10 advance; $12 door.
Team USA vs. Team Russia Hockey Game This is the last leg of a seven-game USA-Russia series, and frankly, the players will probably be a bit tired of checking the same faces into the sideboards. But all us Houston hockey fans will be thrilled to see a preview of this '94 Winter Olympics match-up. (Let's hope for a big turnout -- maybe that'll convince the powers that be to bring back the Aeros.) The Americans have a solid record against international competition, and the Russkies are always bad (to the bone), so look for a fair amount of high-stickin', body checkin' and bazooka-style slap shots. 7 p.m. The Summit, 10 Greenway Plaza, 629-3700. $18.50-$25. (C.K.)
December 13
Comedy Time Out Nine of the best comedy actors in Houston have put together a hilarious collection of skits and songs about the local sports scene -- often a joke in itself. Imagine Ross Perot as the new Oilers' coach, sayin' nothing, but sayin' it loudly. Or try a broadcasters' convention that includes such ripe targets as Dick Vitale, Keith Jackson and the Cubs' slobbering Harry Carey. I've heard some of the imitations, and these people have talent and humor. 8 p.m. Laff Stop, 1952a W. Gray, 524-2333. $5. (C.K.)
Vai Focal point Steve Vai is one of the most technically proficient guitarists on the planet. Sure he's played with David Lee Roth, but he also played with Frank Zappa. Most critical, though, is the fact that the poor man canÕt make a peep as a solo artist that doesn't send dogs screaming for the pound. Sex and Religion is the latest tragedy from Vai, the band, and it adds Devin Townsend's histrionic vocals to Vai's histrionic axe whipping for an ugly experiment in excess. But hey, his fingers move really fast. 9 p.m. Rockefeller's West, 6400 Richmond, 977-5495. $18. (B.T.)
December 14
William Bolcom I guess they'll hand out Pulitzers for darn near anything -- Bolcom got his for composition. Da Camera's After 1910 series showcases composers who won The Big One in the last ten years, so Houston is blessed with a visit by this white-hot post-modernist. Bolcom has been honored for his etudes, poetic interpretations and operas (last year's McTeague became fast food for the soul). For this one-night performance he plays a couple of Darius Milhaud's Le Printemps (that's French for spring), while the redoubtable Sergiu Luca heads a corps of Da Camera players for two Bolcom quartets. 8 p.m. Menil Collection, 1515 Sul Ross, 524-5050. $16. (C.K.)
December 15
Houston Blues Society Kids with AIDS Benefit A grandmother, her daughter dead or dying, raising an HIV positive grandchild -- this is AIDS in the mostly black, mostly poor parts of Houston. The Houston Blues Society will host a fundraiser for the families of children with AIDS and the HIV virus. The event features an all-star lineup of local blues treasures who have volunteered their music to help ease the pain of some families that are hurtin' bad and need some help. Among the featured artists are Grady Gaines, Oscar Perry, Joe "Guitar" Hughes and Blues Plus, Luvenia Lewis, Milton Hopkins, Eugene Moody, Sunset Heights, Lightning Red, Professor Blues, Faye Robinson, Rick Lee and the Texas Twister Horns featuring Paul David Roberts. The musicans are donating their talents; fans are requested to donate a minimum of $10. 8 p.m. Rockefeller's, 3620 Washington, 861-9365. (J.S.)
December 16
Bob Allen's Tell It Like It Is Channel 13/KTRK's affable sportscaster hosts his weekly sports talk show. Modeled on the "sports reporter" format that's worked so well in other cities, Allen's panel consists of the Chron's senior columnist Ed Fowler, the Post's Kenny Hand and 950 AM/KSEV's Ralph Cooper. Discussions get fairly heated -- especially when the Oilers are losing Ñ and Oiler defensive tackle Ray Childress is usually on hand to offer his insight. The show takes place at the Drive Inn's outdoor patio, which has about twenty tables. Seats start to fill at 4 p.m.; channel 13's live sports broadcast begins around 6:20 p.m.; the show is taped from 7-8 p.m. The Drive Inn, 1503 Post Oak, 623-6060. (A.H.)
Contributions from Alex Hecht (A.H.), Crosby King (C.K.), Jim Sherman (J.S.) and Brad Tyer (B.T.).

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
We entered into a sale agreement (Ajmer, Rajasthan) 5 years back and took an advance as well. It took longer than expected to get the documentations ready. In the meantime the rates have gone up. We would like to review the agreed sales price or cancel the agreement and are ready to give back the advance along with any interest. The sale agreement was made on stamp paper and notarised; it was not registered. There is no exit clause in the agreement. Can we still cancel the deal?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Dear Sir / Madam,
If the Sale Agreement stipulates a time frame within which the purchaser has to pay up and settle the entire purchase consideration, and if the purchaser has failed to pay up and settle the amount within the time period, the Sale Agreement automatically becomes null and void, and you become liable to return back the advance taken by you from the purchaser.

DePauw reclaims Monon Bell with hard-fought 14-7 win at Wabash
November 13, 2004
STATS | PHOTO GALLERY | DEPAUW NEWS SITE STORY (with video)
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.- DePauw scored on its first offensive series and its defense countered with a first-quarter goal-line stand to set the tone in a 14-7 Monon Bell win at Wabash.
The Tigers' defense later forced a second-quarter turnover deep in Wabash territory and converted it into their other score. With the victory, DePauw knotted the all-time series at 51-51-9 and extended its narrow margin in Monon Bell games to 35-32-6. For the 21 DePauw seniors, the win was their first over Wabash in their four years.
"Both defenses were unbelievable," DePauw's first-year head coach Bill Lynch said. "It was a great effort on both sides and we were fortunate to get the one turnover because it was hard to muster anything offensively."
The game may very well have come down to the opening 23 minutes. After opening the game with a three-and-out defensive stand, the Tigers began their opening drive on their own 36. Four straight carries by senior Matt McMahon netted 23 yards to the Wabash 41. Junior quarterback Ross Wiethoff picked up one on a first-down run before scampering down the right sideline on second down and scoring from 40 yards. Tyler Mallory's extra point gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead with 11:11 remaining in the first quarter.
Wabash took over on its 24 and converted a couple of third downs and moved into the DePauw red zone. On a second down play the Tigers tackled Wabash junior quarterback Russ Harbaugh for a 3-yard loss but were called for a face mask which moved the ball to the 7. Following an incomplete pass, sophomore running back Aaron Lafitte picked up five yards on second down, but Michael Elkins stopped Lafitte for no gain on third-and-goal. Harbaugh's fourth-down pass to senior receiver Brandon Clifton was tipped at the line of scrimmage and fell incomplete. The drive was costly for the Tigers, however, as they lost the services of junior defensive end Dustin Hertel due to a knee injury.
Early in the second, the Tigers dug themselves out of poor field position after starting at their own nine and advancing to the Wabash 49. Senior punter Bill Riley pinned the Little Giants deep in their own territory with a punt that was returned to the Wabash 10. After freshman Austin Gorrell picked up three yards on first down, Harbaugh committed the game's only turnover when DePauw sophomore Brendan Berigan intercepted his pass at the 14 and dragged tacklers with him to the 1.
DePauw sophomore Jason Murphy was stopped for no gain on first down, but got the call again on the next play and went in for the score that made it 14-0 with 6:58 left in the half.
Wabash again drove inside DePauw territory to the 30 on its next series, but a Little Giants holding penalty and Darron Lasley's 9-yard sack on third down pushed Wabash back to midfield and forced them to punt. The Tigers were able to run out the clock and go into the intermission with a 14-0 lead.
The Little Giants stopped DePauw on its opening drive of the second half and a short DePauw punt gave Wabash the ball at its own 48. Harbaugh converted a third down with a 12-yard pass to junior Brandon Roop before Wabash went to the ground to move the ball to the DePauw 9.
Lafitte picked up three yards on first down and Harbaugh connected with Gorrell for a three-yard pass to the 3. Wabash put its only points on the board when Lafitte tossed a halfback pass to Harbaugh for a touchdown to make it 14-7 with 7:51 left in the third.
The teams exchanged punts throughout the rest of the third period before DePauw took over on its own 27 with 10:53 left in the game. The ground attack of McMahon, freshman Jeremiah Marks and Wiethoff drove the Tigers to the Wabash 41. The big play in the drive came from the DePauw 48 when Marks converted a fourth-and-inches. The Tigers were forced to punt with four minutes left and Wiethoff's 53-yard punt landed in the end zone for a touchback.
The Little Giants took over on their own 20 with Harbaugh running for six yards and completing a pair of passes to the Wabash 41. The Tigers were whistled for pass interference on the next play which moved the ball inside DePauw territory at the Tigers' 44.
After an incomplete pass on first down, Wabash picked up one yard on Gorrell's run before Harbaugh was sacked by sophomore Eric Lewis for a two-yard loss on third down. Harbaugh's fourth-down pass, intended for Roop, fell short after sophomore Ian MacLeod applied pressure giving DePauw the ball with just 1:16 left. The Tigers sealed the win when McMahon rumbled for 15 yards on a second-down play and DePauw ran out the clock.
The win was the Tigers' sixth straight after a one-point loss to Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference champion Trinity in September and DePauw finished the season with an 8-2 record. Wabash concluded its season at 6-4.
"I�ve never seen a group of kids want to win a football game more than this group did," Lynch said.
"These seniors didn�t want to leave here without winning it," he added. "But I�ll tell you what Wabash�s kids played just as hard. That was a great football game. It's really what football is all about the way that game was played."
In a game with just 457 yards of offense between the two teams, DePauw edged the Little Giants 231-226 in total offense.
The Tigers finished with 221 rushing yards with Marks garnering 91, followed by McMahon with 79 and Wiethoff with 64. Wiethoff completed just 2-of-7 passes for 10 yards with both going to Jamarcus Shephard.
Gorrell led Wabash with 97 rushing yards, while Lafitte was limited to just 31. Harbaugh completed nine of 21 passes for 90 yards including three to Summers for 33 yards.
The defenses really told the story in this game as Lewis led DePauw with nine tackles and Elkins followed with eight. The Tigers sacked Harbaugh five times with Lewis leading the way with three, followed by Lasley with one and Barr and sophomore Luis Davila with one-half each.
Freshman Adrian Pynenberg led the Little Giants with 15 tackles including two for losses. Sophomore Reggie Foley had eight tackles and one of two Wabash sacks on the day. Junior Tamarco White had the other sack.
Lynch, a former head coach at Butler and Ball State reflected on his first year with the Tigers and the 8-2 finish.
"I�m so happy with the way they improved throughout the year and one thing that stands out for me is that since the last play of the Trinity game this team has not been behind in a game. This shows you the leadership of the seniors and this just tops it off."
DEPAUW NOTES: Jamarcus Shephard finished his career ranked third in school history with 168 receptions, fourth with 2,382 receiving yards, first with 1,430 kickoff return yards and second with 3,997 all-purpose yards...Jeremiah Marks completed his rookie season with 922 yards in nine games which ranked third in school history, while Ross Wiethoff totaled 784 rushing yards to rank eighth all-time...the Tigers finished the season with 2,546 rushing yards which was just two shy of the record set in 1974...DePauw set the single-season record with 25 rushing touchdowns, eclipsing the mark of 24 set in 1990...The Tigers finished the season with a 5-0 road record for their first undefeated season away from Blackstock Stadium since 1985.Back

Monaco fail to overturn rules requiring them to have headquarters in mainland France
Monaco have failed in their bid to overturn new rules requiring them to have their headquarters in mainland France.
Last Updated: 28/06/13 10:43am
The club enjoy the tax benefits of their principality home which, allied to owner Dmitry Rybolovlev's wealth, gives them huge spending power for their return to Ligue 1.
But the administrative council of the French league (LFP) ruled on March 21 that from June 2014 all clubs playing in the domestic league must have their main office in France, which would put an end to Monaco's tax breaks.
The club appeared before the State Council today to contest the new regulations but were unable to secure a change.
Judge Alain Menemenis said, in remarks reported by L'Equipe: "The State Council will decide in the coming months on the request for annulment made by AS Monaco.
A league spokesman added: "This decision does not prejudge the legal merits (of the rule) but it certainly strengthens the procedure of the LFP, which is looking to re-establish equity in the competition."
A club statement in response read: "AS Monaco FC notes the decision of the court judge of the State Council to dismiss the club's request to suspend with immediate effect the decision of the Professional Football League (LFP), which imposed on the club a requirement to locate its administrative headquarters in France.
"The court judge held that there was no urgency to suspend the decision since it is intended to apply only from June 1, 2014.
"The judge did therefore not take into account the serious concerns about the LFP's decision, and in doing so did not take the view that the matter is of pressing urgency.
"He decided that the LFP's decision did not affect AS Monaco's participation in Ligue 1 for the 2013/2014 season, and said that the State Council would make a ruling on the legality of the decision in the coming months - therefore before it takes effect.
"This decision of the court judge does not therefore in any way prejudge the future decision on the substantive merits of the LFP's decision."

ROTHBURY, MI – At the Electric Forest Festival, attendees aren't simply throwing away their trash.
Before they toss used napkins, empty water bottles or anything else they plan to throw away, they have to make a choice. They can chuck it in the blue recycling bin, the green composting bin or the orange trash bin.
Those "waste stations" are part of the "Electric-ology" program, which is new this year, according to the festival's website.
The program is part of the event's efforts to go green and is a collaboration between five different organizations: The Sweaty Mouse, the High Five Program, Green Events, ZeroHero and Schupan Recycling.
Basically, the program incentivizes tasks like recycling and picking up litter, said Erin Slayter, founder of The Sweaty Mouse. In exchange for keeping their campsite clean or putting their wastes in the appropriate container – trash, recycling or compost – attendees receive an "eco-point," a small slip of paper.
Slayter and Rachel Wells, co-founder of the High Five Program said eco-points are given out by volunteers who monitor the waste stations or are walking through the grounds.
Eco-points can be collected and redeemed at the Electric-ology "store," located in between the Ranch Arena and Sherwood Forest. Rewards include merchandise from the festival, bands and other vendors; private concerts or even free tickets to next year's event, they said.
Wells said the prizes were a way to get attendees involved with the program.
"I think that by dangling those rewards in front of people it encourages them a great amount to participate in the process," Wells said.
But the program does more than promote recycling and composting. It has the added benefit of keeping the festival grounds tidy.
"With our incentives we're trying to teach people that our volunteers can't just pick up after them and you can teach people how to pick up after themselves," Wells said.
Wells and Slayter said Electric-ology was also meant to be educational. They said they hoped that festival-goers continued to recycle and compost after they go home and maybe encourage their friends and family to do so also.
"It's really about the education," said Slayter.
Wells and Slayter said they have administered similar programs for other events. They first began with a beta test of a similar eco rewards program in 2010 for the Hoxeyville Music Festival in Wellston, Mich. After a successful first year, they came back in 2011 and started working other events.
They also work events for the Michigan Brewer's
Guild. Their most recent event before Electric Forest was Founder's Fest, which took
place on June 23 in Grand Rapids, they said.
So far, the program seems to be working, said Wells, who was on-site for the festival. There seems "minimal litter" on the festival grounds and the attendees have responded so well that volunteers are no longer needed at waste stations inside the venue, she said.
"We moved all those resources out to the campgrounds," Wells said. "We're always just rotating our volunteers to wherever they're needed."
So far, 20,000 eco-points have been given out, she said, and at least 13,000 have been taken over to the Electric-ology store.
Wells said she was happy with the results so far.
"We're really proud of our accomplishments this weekend."

Cross country teams remained busy in the lead-up to league and Section III championship meets during the latter stages of October. That included Marcellus and West Genesee, who both traveled to Saturday's Marathon Invitational, where again Ryan Manahan proved the class of the field.
The Mustangs' senior won the boys seeded race in 16 minutes, 6.8 seconds, nearly half a minute ahead of Vestal's Dana Carris, who was second in 16:35.1. Justin Garn gave Marcellus a 25th-place finish in a clocking of 17:48.9.
West Genesee's boys team was second behind Corning in both the Division I and overall standings., with Marcellus fifth on the Division I side.
Behind Manahan, the Wildcats' Will Randall finished 11th, in 16:59.4, with Nate Conroy 12th in 17:03 flat. Mike Lannon was 15th (17:18.0), just ahead of Kal Strickland, who was 16th in 17:20.5. Jack Erhard was 20th in 17:30.1.
As WG took fourth and Marcellus ninth in the girls varsity race, the Mustangs' Rachel Garn nearly won the individual title, tailing Windsor's Maddie Zeitz right to the end. Garn finished in 19:17.7, just 1.7 seconds behind Zeitz in the second spot.
For the Wildcats, Lindsay Weaver led the way, grabbing ninth place in 20:14.7. Sarah Ferranti was 24th, in 21:18.5, while Elise Dunshee was 29th in 21:24.9. Abby Kastick settled into 33rd place in 21:33.4, one spot behind the Mustangs' Molly McGuane (21:28.2).
As this went on, Jordan-Elbridge's sibling tandem of Abby and Jack Gugel won their respective divisions at the Weedsport Invitational, and the boys Eagles claimed team honors with 41 points, six points better than the host Warriors.
Jack Gugel won in 17:23.4, nearly 16 seconds ahead of Weedsport's Seth Baker, and had lots of help. Nick Parkolap was ninth, in 18:53.9, while Austin Milton took 10th place in 18:57.7. Christian Marrero was 12th, in 19:20.5, beating out Jacob Patterson (19:21.6) and Nathan Hollis (19:30.7), with Bill Direnzo (20:03.0) also getting a top-20 finish.
Over in the girls race, Abby Gugel's winning time of 21:02.7 was almost half a minute better than Mynderse's Erica Barbay (21:29.9), with the J-E girls sliding into second place with 71 points behind Port Byron, who won with 52 points.
Brianna Byrnes found her way to eighth place, in 23:22.4, with Natalie Emerick 11th in 24:14.2. Sarah Knapp finished in 35th place in 27:36.4.
A battle between two neighboring OHSL Liberty division cross country teams last Wednesday resulted in Westhill/Bishop Ludden sweeping Solvay.
The boys race was closer, the Warriors prevailing 24-37 over the Bearcats, even though Solvay's Matt Cregan won the individual race in a time of 16 minute, 56 seconds and Cody McCarthy (17:31) finished third.
Peter Lynch began Westhill/Ludden's charge with a second-place time of 17:24. Liam Rodgers was fourth, in 17:36, with Casey Bunce, Alec Walsh (17:43 each) and Dan DeMauro (17:44) filling the next three spots. Kyle Fitch was eighth (17:46) as Vinny Carr (17:50) beat Solvay's Eric Goodrich (17:56) to the line.
Meanwhile, in the girls race Westhill/Ludden had the top six runners, led by Annibel Coolican, who won in a time of 20:33, one second ahead of Emily Washburn.
Erin Morrell was third, in 20:58, with Caroline Coates (21:09) and Genny Corcoran (21:11) in the fourth and fifth spots, respectively, and Mary Kate Washburn (21:46) in sixth. Solvay's Ashlee Riggins (22:27) was seventh, in front of Caroline Black, Claire Sheen and Anastaija Useva.
J-E, thanks to the Gugels, won both individual parts of last Wednesday's meet against CBA, but only got half of the team honors, winning 25-34 in the boys meet but losing to the Brothers 15-50 on the girls side.
Jack Gugel, in a swift 14:00.5, beat CBA's David Carey for top individual honors. Austin Milton was fourth, in 15:22.6, with Nathan Hollis fifth in 15:28.3.
Parklap, with his seventh-place time of 15:31.2, led J-E's next group as DiRenzo claimed eighth place in 15:41.6. Patterson (15:47.3) and Marrero (15:54.4) also had top-10 efforts.
Moving to the girls meet, Abby Gugel pulled away, her time of 16:47.1 nearly half a minute better than CBA's Maire Kate McGlynn (17:10 flat), who was second. Byrnes was fourth, in 18:25.6, while merick was seventh (20:04.3) and Jen Hartwell (22:06.5) made her way to eighth place.

SHINE passes internal milestone
SHINE Medical Technologies and Phoenix Nuclear Labs are one step closer to production of medical isotope in Janesville.
The partnering companies said they recently ran their second-generation neutron driver prototype for 24 consecutive hours with nearly 100 percent up time.
Completion of the milestone is an important demonstration of the reliability and robustness of the neutron driver, which is a key enabling technology for SHINE's isotope production facility.
SHINE is working toward regulatory approval to build an $85 million medical isotope plant on Janesville's south side.
The plant would use low-enriched uranium in a series of eight accelerators to produce molybdenum-99, a medical isotope used in more than 30 kinds of diagnostic imaging procedures and more than 40 million medical imaging tests each year.
The company wants to fill a void expected when two other nuclear reactors that use highly enriched uranium to produce isotopes are taken out of service in 2016 and 2020. The plants in Canada and the Netherlands are the world's leading isotope suppliers.
The Janesville plant is expected to offer 150 high-paying jobs, open in late 2016 and generate annual revenues of $200 million in 2017.
Greg Piefer founded the company in 2010.
Five years earlier, he founded Phoenix Nuclear Labs, which has developed a proprietary, particle accelerator-driven, nuclear fusion technology that has applications ranging from medicine to national defense.
"I'm very excited PNL has demonstrated the reliability of their accelerator technology," Piefer said. "Their team continues their strong track record of achievement, having reached this important milestone sooner than expected.
"This specific accomplishment proves something we have been confident in all along—that the accelerator technology can work reliably at the power levels needed by our plant for extended periods of time."
Katrina Pitas, SHINE's vice president of business development, said the two companies are working toward a continuous run of 132 hours for its accelerator.
That's the amount of time necessary to produce one batch of Mo-99, she said.

Hi all! I recently cancelled Cable/Satellite service, and went with an OTA (over the air) antenna for digital broadcasting.
My question is, is there a way to automatically record favorite shows via a TV tuner card?
My current setup:
-Antennas Direct ClearStream4 w/ Channel Master 3414 Amplifier for OTA signal
On the PC (Win 7 x64):
-Hauppauge 2250 TV Tuner Card with their WinTV 7 software
-Plex Media Server
-Dedicated 2tb hdd for recordings
-TitanTV for recoding shows *can favorite shows, but cannot record a 'favorite show' on certain channels, have to manually record each episode
-Smart TVs and Rokus for playback in and outside of the house
Any help would be great. I'm so close to having this complete, just cannot find a way to automatically record our favorite shows! Essentially need an alternative to the Win7 or Titantv guide.
I am probably going to use a utility to automatically delete old recordings (Belvedere file manager).

have ya tried Windows Media Center,, that behaves much like a DVR with 'favorites' availability,, and works with 2250 TV card
Last edited by cfdp; 25th Jun 2014 at 21:57.
I have been using an HVR-2250 with Windows Media Center for a about 3 years. It's an excellent TV card. Windows Media Center has the ability to delete old recordings based on age, or low storage space. Maybe it can meet your needs by itself.
The Silicondust HD Homerun Dual is another excellent dual digital tuner for Windows Media Center. It is an external device with an Ethernet interface that you can connect to a router so it can be used by more than one Windows PC on a home network.
[Edit]Windows Media Center records in WTV file format on a Windows 7 PC. The WTV format supports DRM for paid TV sources, but if recorded from an over-the-air US source, WTV files should always be unprotected.
Some non-Microsoft players will play unprotected .WTV files, but others won't. (VLC, PotPlayer, and Cyberlink PowerDVD have worked for me, in most cases.) You may need to convert them to something else for other players.
VideoReDo TV Suite can both convert and edit WTV files directly and compensates for transmission errors, so video and audio remain sin sync after editing. Windows 7 includes a utility to convert from WTV to DVR-MS, which has better support, but for some reason closed captions are corrupted in the resulting files. The less expensive VideoReDo plus can work directly with DVR-MS files and also compensates for transmission errors, but provides fewer conversion options.

Windows Media Center had exactly what I wanted. However, in my situation, I had to utilize my PC (hooked up to my livingroom TV via HDMI), so I could not use my PC while say my gf was watching tv. The remote also did not allow one to close WMC either.
Returned the Hauppauge 2250, ordered the Channel Master DVR+ instead, just makes things a lot easier. Thanks all!
Windows Media Center a try again at some point, it is possible to close WMC with the remote or turn off the PC. There isn't a dedicated button for either, but it is still possible. I have done it myself. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/turn-off-your-computer-using-windows-media-center

'Bama defense shuts down Tigers in BCS title game
Igualmente Mesa, AZJan. 9, 2012 10:02 p.m.
LSU had everything to lose, and did. No victor has ever won a same season rematch.
Time for a BCS retool...Only allow conference champions in the title game to prevent league opponent rematches.
As for the plus 1 or 4 team playoff, the Rose requires its Pac12vsBig10 to remain in place unless it becomes the annual championship site. Otherwise, take the 4 winners of the rose, fiesta, sugar, and orange and reseed them into a 4 team playoff.

The perfect pub crawl
If someone lent you a shuttle bus for the night, told you to pack your friends in and go for a pub crawl, where would you go? You're the social coordinator for the evening, and your buddies are expecting that your five places ensure a great time. You're not driving, so proximity isn't an issue.
We asked ourselves that question, and our editorial team came up with some pretty different choices. Enjoy our picks, and use the Talkback feature below this article to tell us your perfect pub crawl.

Staff Writer
I think I may have actually does this once...
1. Nomad World Pub, 1401 E. Brady St. -- If this is an all-day event, I'm starting here for a Bloody Mary.
2. Lakefront Brewery, 1872 N. Commerce St. -- There is nothing more fitting for daytime drinking than the $5 brewery tour offered at Lakefront.
3. Wolski's Tavern, 1836 N. Pulaski St. -- You get a coupon for a free beer here (or some other places on Water St.) when you finish the Lakefront tour. Plus, they have good popcorn, which is probably needed at this point.
4. Nessun Dorma, 2778 N. Weil St. -- You need to eat dinner, but that doesn't mean you need to stop the party. The $2 Capital Ambers are the perfect complement to your panini. (And hey, maybe I'll run into Andy?)
5. Foundation, 2718 N. Bremen St. -- Since I'm already in the Riverwest neighborhood I'll cap my night off at Foundation where the Jack and Cokes are stiff and, in a perfect world, my group is able to full a complete takeover of the mega booth and pool table.
Heather Leszczewicz
OMC Reporter
I don't drink beer, so it's going to be a night of classy cocktails around the town, since we're not driving.
1. Swig, 1225 N. Water St. -- Just to be sure I'm not drinking on an empty stomach, we'll grab dinner, or share a few small plates. We'll pair the food with a tasty martini or, possibly, start off the night with a flight of martinis.
2. Balzac, 1716 N. Arlington Pl. -- Classy atmosphere and a hard decision between wine and cocktails. However, since I've already started with the martinis, it'll probably be a cocktail choice.
3. Hi-Hat Lounge, 1701 N. Arlington Pl. -- My group will traipse across the street to Hi-Hat for another martini, but something chocolate or sweet.
4. Caffrey's, 717 N. 16th St. -- A little college bar atmosphere for flavor with an Amaretto Sour and a shot all around, plus popcorn.
5. Lucille's Rockin' Pianos, 1110 N. Old World 3rd St. -- I'll put a close to my night with some fun piano music and a yummy frozen house specialty drink or two.

Since, I would plan different pub crawls for summer and winter, this version would take place in the summer, with an array of snacks, a party sub, some tasty chilled shots and a quarter-barrel of beer (preferably High Life) and plenty of plastic cups on board.
In organizing past crawls, I found that it's good to solicit recommendations from each guest and try to structure the crawl so you hit different bars in different regions of town. It's best to put the longer "trips" early in the crawl, because the bus rides can foster camaraderie and conversation and the later rides need frequent bathroom breaks. (If you get a bus with a bathroom, that's a bonus). It's also important to bring a referee's whistle to sound a five-minute warning followed by a "get on the bus" blast. The general rule is "one drink per bar," because you have to keep the party moving. That's the idea.
Here is the lineup. You'll notice that I couldn't limit myself to five stops, but the pub crawl poobah has the ability to call audibles at the line of scrimmage and lop bars off the list (or add others):
1. Friday's Front Row Grill, Miller Park -- My crawl would take place on a Friday or Saturday night when the Brewers are out of town. We'd gather at Friday's because of its central location and huge parking lot. If the Brewers are on the East Coast, we can gather at about 6 p.m., watch the first inning and hit the road.
2. Ray and Dot's, 6351 W. Grange Ave., Greenfield -- This bar, located in Greenfield on Grange Ave., is a quintessential Milwaukee tavern. Last time we went, the tappers were 35 cents.
3. Kneisler's White House Tavern, 2900 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. -- While the rest of Bay View got trendy over the past 10 years or so, this place has been a mainstay since 1891.
4. Wicked Hop, 345 N. Broadway -- The Brewers game may be heading into the late innings when we get to this Historic Third Ward stop. The question is, will anybody notice? The food is good, but anybody who wants to eat should phone in an order from the bus to reduce waiting time. A good place for latecomers to join the crawl in progress.
5. Bar Louie, 1114 N. Water St. -- We normally wouldn't stop at a chain, but we make an exception because of the location (latecomers can meet us here at a designated time) and large beer garden. Invariably, this is where the crowd on the pub crawl changes. Some people will miss the bus. We'll pick up new riders. The diehards will remain. (Note: If Bar Louie is deemed to crowded or "chain-like," we'll hit County Clare, 1234 N. Astor St., for a pint.
6. Wolski's Tavern -- To have a Milwaukee pub crawl without going 'Skiing' would be a crime. I'd have said the same thing about the National Liquor Bar (even though they kicked us out during one of my pub crawls), but the joint is closed.
7. Leff's Lucky Town, 7208 W. State St., Wauwatosa -- It'll be fun to watch friends from Chicago laugh at the size of the urinal in the men's room. Also, a key stop because there is a George Webb's within stumbling distance.
Back to Friday's (or home). Be sure and tip the bus driver.
Jeff Sherman
Pub crawls bring me back to my Marquette days, so I must begin on campus. Then, a nice tour of city is needed, so a bus or at least a driver is a must. Off we go.
1. Jim Hegarty's Pub, 1120 W. Wells St. -- It's not the Avalanche or O.D.'s, two legends of MU bar days of yore, but Hegarty's is real and a perfect place to begin a voyage into downtown.
2. The Harp Irish Pub, 113 E. Juneau Ave. -- I'm pretending it's summer, so stop two is the Harp. Patio, maybe some food and hit it around happy hour.
3. Von Trier, 2235 N. Farwell Ave. -- Nothing says East Side Milwaukee like the bar at Von Trier. Your group can nosh on popcorn and enjoy Bitburger on tap.
4. The Nomad -- From the East Side to Brady. No bar crawl is complete without The Nomad. Whether you have a mug or not, it's an institution.
5. Swinging Door, 219 E. Michigan Ave. -- It's getting late, but you must have a last call. Swinging Door does it. Never been here? Ask no questions, just know that it's closing time and time for you to go out to the places you will be from.
Molly Snyder Edler
Staff Writer
1. Uptowner, 1032 E. Center St. -- Since I live in the neighborhood, I can't pass up the chance to down one with the beautiful people. You know who you are.
2. Yield, 1932 E. Kenilworth Pl. -- I really like this chill, completely non-pretentious watering hole, and I added it to my short list of places to go when I'm not feeling fabulous, just friendly and thirsty.
3. Nomad World Pub -- I'm always happy to be reunited with my ceramic pint glass that's been hanging on a hook behind the bar for close to 10 years now. This could easily be the end of the line for me, because The Nomad has a way of sucking every last dollar from my pocket –- and every last shred of my sobriety. However, if I'm still standing, I'm heading to the South Side.
4. Highbury, 2320 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. -- This seems like the ideal follow-up to The Nomad, because the energy is similar inside the two places. Might have something to do with Joe Katz, but who knows.
5. Art Bar, 722 E. Burleigh Ave. -- If I'm ever in doubt whether or not to have "one more," my answer is always "Art Bar."
Bobby Tanzilo
Managing Editor
Because they're all cool and they're all in walking distance, I think these five Bay View bars make a great pub crawl.
1. Club Garibaldi, 2501 S. Superior St. -- Because I feel at home here thanks to Tag and Joe and Win, it's comfortable and makes me want to hum the "Cheers" song.
2. Palomino, 2491 S. Superior St. -- Run across the street to eat some dinner, especially if it's warm and I can eat outside. I'll also bring some dough to plug the jukebox.
3. Cactus Club, 2496 S. Wentworth Ave. -- Pop in to see a band in the back room, check out the scene at the bar and support Eric, who has long supported local music.
4. Frank's Power Plant, 2800 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. -- For a cold Pabst and a mellow scene.
5. The Highbury -- Close out the night at the Highbury, hopefully watching a soccer match. If there's no game on, I just might run across to Lulu, 2261 S. Howell Ave., and have a snack.
Andy Tarnoff
If I had a short bus to drive me around the city, I'd pick these five bars for a fun night of libations.
1. Nessun Dorma -- Start with a tasty base of a panini and some pesto, washed down by some affordable (yet excellent) red wine.
2. Village Pub, 4408 N. Oakland Ave., Shorewood -- It always feels like Up North at this Shorewood bar, where the High Lifes (High Lives?) are cold, and the regulars are always entertaining. Hopefully, it's baseball season and a Brewers game is on the tube.
3. Bar Lulu -- Later in the evening, maybe a Mojito or two and, and if I'm lucky, some live music.
4. Palm Tavern, 2989 S. Kinnickinic Ave. -- Time to settle in with a Belgian beer and some mellow tunes, courtesy of Bruno.
5. Hector's South, 3040 S. Delaware Ave. -- Close to home, I'll wrap up commiserating with the transplanted bartenders of Fish Creek's Bayside Tavern.
T-Rex | Feb. 10, 2007 at 4:49 p.m. (report)
A whole bunch of great spots mentioned in all of the crawls... I still have a problem with a bar column from someone in Milwaukee who does not like beer. But anyway... even if I had a short bus, I think I would prefer to spend the maximum time in my favorite establishments, rather than hauling the proverbial ass around town. I completely agree with the Bay View crawl, all within walking (later crawling) distance. For some real interest, add At Random for some fru fru drinks and Deano. To add a few South side musts, I always like Milwaukee's oldest tavern in existence, the Landmark. You said fifty beers on tap? I'm there. There are some eclectic establishments off the trendy beaten path, including South Milwaukee, and of course the 1-mile stretch of bars in Cudahy. South Shore Inn is a classic small Wisconsin tavern, and always friendly and inexpensive (with some good beers like New Glarus). Just make sure you throw your peanut shells on the floor...

The Ricky Gervais Guide to...THE FUTURE
The eighth episode in this new series ruminates on the shape of things to come.
Join Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington as they engage in a speculative discourse and ponder the fate of mankind.
In this episode: The unsightly face of social evolution; vestigial destiny of the digitus minimus manus; Karl has Google on the brain; Karl's starter for 10; Karl gets disorientated; Forwards looking foreword - teeth, pants, specs, and predictive spelling; Steve's plans for the End of Days; Chaos theory reinvented; Ambitions unfulfilled; Karl takes the path less trodden; Shop Idol; and Britain's Got Chiropody.
©2009 Ricky Gervais; (P)2009 Ricky Gervais
"Laugh out loud funny!!!"
I think this series is very amusing . I find myself smiling throughout the day thinking about what was said. I worry about whether or not Karl is real... I hope he is a character no one could be that clueless!
"Stupid funny!!!"
This series of discussions makes me laugh out loud no matter where I am. I sometimes feel a little sorry for Karl, but he holds his own for the most part. While he's a little out there, I sometimes find myself thinking, wow, what an interesting way to look at things. I'm sure this series was put together to share Karl's strange take on life with the rest of the world, but I feel that Ricky sometimes forgets that. He often verbally attacks Karl for being an idiot. But Steve brings balance to the situation by insisting that he is interested to hear what Karl has to say. I love the dynamic between the three of them.

@ demino_hellsin - This is a daydream, same rules don't apply. Look at the other daydreams, Houki doesn't even appear in Cecilia's and vice versa. They ignore the other heroines and focus on themselves. For all I know, Houki actually supports it in her daydream.
EDIT: Gimme the outline.

Tabane is in her lab compiling data on Byakushiki, she pauses when she reaches Ichika's profile. She thinks to herself of how he's grown and remembers back in the past when she was still cold to the world.
She has to babysit Ichika because her parents are taking Houki to see a big kendo event. Tabane who doesn't really like crowds excuses herself. At that time Chifuyu is suddenly called out on a night job(pot-stickers assistant cart runner?). Tabane is only nice to Ichika because he's Chifuyu's little brother and ignores him when she's not there. Ichika calls her attention but she doesn't respond. Ichika calls her an idiot and she snaps. Ichika smiles because he got her to look at him saying that Chifuyu-nee's charm worked. Child Ichika pushes a book of stories towards Tabane and asks her to read. She refuses, he begs and finally she caves. (insert heartwarming moment). Tabane realizes that Ichika is a good kid and decides to genuinely like him.
back to reality
Tabane thinks back to all the times she's with Chifuyu and how the elder sister was so proud of her younger brother, Tabane wants to understand those feelings too. She observes how the Orimuras interact, Ichika in particular for reference on Houki(not the best idea). She realized in the middle of all that Ichika was becoming more important to her than he initially should be(the warmth of her world?)
She admits to being in love with him but doesn't act on it because her sister loves him too. She imagines herself and Ichika as characters in one of the many fairy tales that he read to her at that time(whether as prince and princess or evil mistress and prince, you decide). She wakes up to the immaterial screen before her and closes Ichika's profile. She gives a bitter sweet smile.
Forgive me if it's so specific. I got too into it.

@ Senpai - This happens to all three people in Shadow later on (minues the sexual implications). Thankfully, each of them have something that keeps them sane all throughout: Ichika's is his love for his friends (Standard Shonen stuff), Kyuukai's is his will to protect others (Heroic need) and Irish's is his desire for vengeance (Anti-heroic willpower). This is what kept them sane all throughout the mind breaking.
Anyway, how do you want Madoka to be woken up? Double points if it's ironic.

Love Story
Posted by Michael Avery
07. Aug, 2012
With the Melbourne International Film Festival officially in full swing, we took the chance to catch up with Kiwi director and guest of the festival Florian Habicht.
Florian's MIFF entry, Love Story, is a documentary set in New York that follows a fictional love story, merging snippets of narrative and actual interviews. We learn a little more.
MB: Could you tell us a little about Love Story?
FH: Well, it's something that began as an experiment, which ended up being alot of fun for myself and us making it and hopefully for the people watching it. It was pretty much inspired by a psychic in New York. Her advice for me was to never get in front of the camera. So I decided, a year after getting her advice, to do the opposite.
MB: Did you always plan on shooting in New York?
FH: I was actually in NY for a year for a residency. I wrote a script while I was there and I applied for some funding. Just before leaving I got rejected. My life survival instincts kicked in and I thought I had to make something in NY before I left. So I changed my ticket.
MB: So it was made on a sort of guerrilla budget?
FH: Totally. We got some money in the end for post, so we could have that beautiful soundtrack.
MB: The film blurs the line between documentary and fiction. What side of that fence do you think it rests on?
FH: I actually think that when we were making it, it was a real blur for everyone. In the edit I was always like 'should it be more love story or doco?' It actually turned out to be more of a 50/50 kinda balance, which is pretty funny it turned out that way, but that's how I kind of see it.
MB: How do you describe Love Story to people?
FH: I say it's the greatest love story since Titanic. That's my sales pitch [laughs].
MB: How has the film been received so far?
FH: Amazing, it opened the NZ film festival last year and that was like the best response ever, people loved it. Then it didn't get into other festivals straight away, so I was a little bit gutted in the beginning.
MB: Really?
FH: The psychic in the film predicted that in two years time my success would come with a film. It's been exactly two years and now it's playing at all these festivals. So its pretty funny actually …and in Poland oh my God they loved it! It was translated into Polish and uh yeah that's probably the most vocal audience so far.
MB: And in the actual love story in the film… how much of that is fiction?
FH: That's up to the audience.
MB: One last question: any hot picks for MIFF?
FH: Yeah definitely! I saw 30 films at Poland recently and the thing that stuck with me was called Holy Motors. It's on at MIFF and my advice is, don't even read about it, just go and see it!
Love Story is showing at the Melbourne International Film Festival on Thursday 9 August @ 9pm.

Denver has been a true cowtown these past three months, with life-sized fiberglass bovines standing, staring and chewing their cud all over town. The four-legged phenoms in the CowParade head back to the barn on October 18 (and will be auctioned later for charity). But part of the herd is returning much worse for the wear, since residents of D-town have engaged in a little cow-tipping along the way.
For example, the beast positioned at the corner of 14th and Larimer streets is now backless. "The 'TED Is Cooler' cow has been loved to death by the folks down on Larimer Square," says Jeannie McFarland Johnson, spokeswoman for the local parade. "It is one of the cows that right from the beginning didn't even last 24 hours without being vandalized. People were fascinated by the fact that the back becomes a door. Originally, TED was going to offer freezer pops out of there, but it's just been chronically damaged in some way. People just can't keep their hands off that cow."
Vandals struck in chi-chi Cherry Creek, too. The "John Lynch BronCow," created by artist Joanne Orce, had its helmet stolen; sponsor Rainbow Rewards is offering a $100 reward for the missing headgear. "Happy Cow," also put out to pasture in Cherry Creek and designed by Jay Paonessa and Tim Smith, was robbed of its red collar and bell -- but two days later, the collar was returned with a new bell. And "Room to Moooove," in front of the Ross-Cherry Creek Branch Library, has gotten very disoriented. "It has really tall legs, and it keeps getting turned around," Johnson explains. "We never know what direction it's going to face. Sometimes it wants to read a book, sometimes it wants to people-watch."

Over in Stapleton, David Westman's "Moo-tanical Gardens" was sheared of all flowers at stroller level. On the 16th Street Mall, a panhandler got a little too aggressive with Cheryl Cusick's "Moo-La" and used a crowbar to pry off the money that had been clear-coated and shellacked to the cow. It was all foreign currency from places like Slovakia and Hungary -- but you never know what might come in handy in that part of town.
Still, several cows made it through downtown's Oktoberfest "without even getting a DUI," Johnson points out. "Hula Cow!" and "Bucky Broncow" emerged from the festivities unmolested, even though "we knew that people would be intoxicated, and intoxicated people have been not so nice to our cows," she notes.
The drunks certainly weren't kind to the critter standing outside the Wynkoop Brewing Co. Pam Sirko's "Cross Country Cow," complete with skis and goggles, had to be sent back to the corral early because it was being used as an ashtray.
So far, just one cow has survived completely unscathed: the mile-high "Cowstellation" hanging out in the "D" over the Denver Pavilions. Cow-tippers, do your duty.
Steer clear! Mayor John Hickenlooper -- who contributed greetings to the new book CowParade Denver -- certainly had better luck with these artistic cud-chewers than he did with an earlier pair. Years ago, when Hick was a lowly geologist turned brewpub owner, he picked up two giant cowheads that had once graced the top of a dairy located at the Tivoli. Thinking they might work on the outside of the Wynkoop, he put them in storage. Sort of.
Then a little thing called an election got in the way, and years later, the restaurant group is still trying to round up the cow heads. "It was classic Hickenlooper," says Lee Driscoll, who manages Wynkoop Holdings and all of its restaurants. Hickenlooper had left the heads with Chris Stames, an artist who'd found them some two decades ago in an old warehouse lot, and a short, informal storage deal grew into a very long one, then finally turned into a restoration project. So far, Stames has collected $12,000 for his rehab work on a job that's going very, very slowly.
"I'm 500 hours into it," Stames says. "Thirty-seven years of neglect don't go away overnight." He's stripped off all the latex, sanded the heads, remade the horns from scratch, and started repairs. "What looked simple was deceiving," he admits. He'd hoped to get the cows done in time for them to make their debut during the CowParade -- a goal that Driscoll would heartily endorse -- but now it looks like this parade will pass them by. Still, Stames promises that someday, these cows will move to the head of the class.

"I'm not looking for any glory for myself," he says. "Just a little recognition."
Move 'em out.
Scene and herd: Before a cloud of smoking hipsters -- the bulk of whom had no idea who he was -- Marcus Camby parked his pimped-out Dodge Magnum in front of the hi-dive last Saturday night, then trotted across Broadway to Blue Ice. Personal foul: Not only was the Nuggets center parked three feet from the curb, but in a bus stop! But Camby's ride remained miraculously unmolested as an RTD driver simply eyed the offending vehicle, then drove a half-block further down the street to unload his passengers. Earlier in the night, there had been no such anonymity for the bespectacled Daniel Libeskind, who strode along Larimer Square amid a cloud of gawkers -- several of whom reached out to shake the man's hand and compliment him on the Frederic C. Hamilton Building, which had opened to the public just that day.
An architect more conspicuous than an NBA star? Maybe this isn't such a cowtown after all
