text: BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. has announced that it has acquired Huxley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Huxley), which has rights to a proprietary form of 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP), amifampridine phosphate, for the rare autoimmune disease Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS). Last week, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Evaluations Agency adopted a positive opinion recommending approval of amifampridine phosphate for LEMS. If approved by the European Commission, amifampridine phosphate will be the first approved treatment for LEMS, thereby conferring orphan drug protection and providing ten years of market exclusivity in Europe. Huxley licensed the rights to 3,4-DAP from EUSA Pharma, which was developing the product after acquiring the rights from the original developer, Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris (AP-HP). "This acquisition represents a natural extension of BioMarin's core business operations and strategy. LEMS is a rare, serious and debilitating autoimmune disease treated by neuromuscular specialists," said Jean-Jacques Bienaime, Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "This deal leverages our existing European infrastructure and commercial capabilities and provides the opportunity for near-term revenue growth and operating income growth. We expect to launch the product in Europe in the first quarter of 2010, and are evaluating the best development strategy for amifampridine phosphate in LEMS in the U.S. and in other indications in the U.S. and Europe. We will also evaluate development of amifampridine phosphate in other indications including multiple sclerosis. We expect this deal to be dilutive in 2010 and accretive in 2011 and beyond." Stephen Aselage, Senior Vice President and Chief Business Officer of BioMarin added, "3,4-DAP is currently the treatment of choice for LEMS. Although its use has been limited as an unapproved product due to regulatory restrictions and limited availability of drug product, 3,4-DAP has been studied in six randomized controlled trials and has been shown to improve muscle strength in LEMS patients as measured by a variety of means. 3,4-DAP has been widely recommended for use in LEMS, and the introduction of amifampridine phosphate will enable regular access to a high quality, stable proprietary product." Bryan Morton, President and Chief Executive Officer of EUSA Pharma said, "We are pleased now to be working with BioMarin to develop and commercialize 3,4-DAP. BioMarin is well placed to launch this important treatment for LEMS, and to continue its future broader development." Under the terms of the agreement, BioMarin paid Huxley stockholders $15.0 million upfront and will pay an additional $7.5 million upon final European Commission approval of amifampridine in LEMS, which is expected in late 2009 or early 2010. Additionally, Huxley stockholders are eligible to receive up to approximately $36.0 million in milestone payments if certain annual, cumulative sales and U.S. development milestones are met. In addition, successful development of multiple sclerosis will result in milestone payments to EUSA.

Ultimate real fullrange driver
I am looking for the best fullrange driver that can cover the bigger part of audio frequency range.
I've thought about Jordan JX92S that seems to be a good compromise, little diameter for treble, big Xmax for bass. What do you think about this choice and in which kind of load? Horn, TL or BR. I think the TL or BR is a better choice regarding T&S parameter. I've read elsewhere on this forum that a BR whith a volume of Vas accorded at Fs (15liter, 45hz) makes some people happy. I simulate this on WinISD and it give the better bass response -3dB point at 45Hz.
I think lowther or fostex are very good speaker too, but it seems to be very difficult to achieve good bass with them, too low Xmax. I have not enough room to install something like Nelson Pass's Klein-Horn... Maybe the best solution to load this kind of speaker...
My music taste is a little progressive rock and a lot classical music (I'm a professional violonist in a french orchestra) whith (of course) a preference for violin music. I like to listen the different sound of all the best violonists (unfortunetly almost all dead today :( ).
For me the best solution I've heard to distingue all this sound difference are esl or magneplanar but I'm sure that a good fullrange can do the same...
jordan in a br gets my vote
Jordans reveal those differences.
I guess Veravox should outperform Jordan, if you like small metal diaphragms. I prefer big paper cones.
I think Fostex F200A is a good candidate, alhtough bit costly. Kloss has written lots about this driver. You can also look at Bob Brines designs for the F200A.
I am currently doing some analysis and tests with the JX92S compensation, but it would probably be next month till I get them boxed for some listening.
Given all the complcating environs in the real world there is no ultimate FR, but other candidates would include Exact, Fertin, Supravox
Jordan is excellent......
Don't want to be called an eretic (BTW we are in the full range forum), but i would just drop my impressions on the Jordan.
I've built the Jordan jx 92s TL enclosure according to the jordan site, listened to the smaller MLTL always based on the Jordan, and I have to agree that both these designs are excellent,with just a couple of drawbacks:
- dynamic is limited (and is not a problem of my amp)
- upper register is not so refined as the medium range.
These issue both disappeared once i've realized the Jim Griffin Minimonitor with the AC G2SI.
You will not loose coherency, dynamic is much better, and you gain a very refined treble.
Not from a tonal point of view, but as per the detail, you have something in the range of the Crosby modified Quad ESL63.
A few days back I had the onor of the visit of the director of Padua Conservatory, audiophile Himself and owner of an incredible (=really expensive) system.
He left my house praying me to realize for him such speakers!
With these boxes I've discovered a really new sound in most of the records I own where there are bowed instruments and brasses.
Please note that I have no affiliation with J. Griffin.
Is just that if you need a small detailed and correct system, this is IMHO the way to go. Remember to feed them a least with a very very refined 30-80 W power amp.
Just my 2 cents.
I forgot to say that the bass range is far way more extended than the one you can achieve with any lowther in 2 meters height horns. This is based on real facts, it's not just supposition.
Dynamics are always limited in with less drivers.
The compensation network on the Jordan site compensates well for the low end. However, you will loss some highs. The Jim Griffin design is a good tradeoff to maintain effeciency and increase dynamics.
If you want to compensate better using the JX92 alone, the efficiency will suffer. This is one thing I am trying to do during my spare time.
Thanks for replies, very instructive...
Another good candidate is Fostex fx200, but seems to be discontinued...
Could this be the ultimate real fullrange driver?
If it was possible to get two single units I would mount it into baffles and try it.
We're talking ultimate drivers here? Lowther every time.
And no, it's not impossible to get bass out of them; you just have to be creative. Martin's done an ML-TL project with them, and apparantly they work extremely well:
If you can't stomach the DX price, I suspect it will still work quite well with the much cehaper PM6C.
And I believe Bob has got a more refined version of his own which can also work with the Fostex FE207E in the works, although it might be a while in appearing on the site: he's still putting the finishing touches to his BR FE167E stand-mount / floor-stander (whichever floats your boat) hybrid.
Any other rivals? The Fostex F200A; this is Lowther terretory though, so it's horses for courses. I suspect the Fostex might have the stonger bass ultimately in, say, Bob's TL cabinet, but the Lowther's will be better in every other area. Then again, remember you can have the best driver in the world, but if you put it into a badly matched cabinet; you won't get very far: I've heard Lowthers sound far worse than my FE167Es in Martin's ML-TQWT and Bob's ML-TL enclosures thanks to the box they've been stuffed into. Conversely, I've heard cheap Pioneers sound better than badly matched Fostex.
I haven't heard the Jordans, so I won't pass comment, other than to say by reputation, I'm sure they're excellent, and I'm sure I'll aquire a pair over the coming months to play with, but you're never going to get a huge quantity of bass from what is basically a 3 inch driver.
Hey guys , what about Manger or Bohlender-Graebener drivers. They are not exacly full range to deep bass , bu who want´s mids and hights to be modulated by big bass membrane excursion. They will be superb for everything above 200Hz.
People/magazines say the Veravox 5(S or X) is the best midrange ever and also a brilliant fullranger. Not cheap but still cheaper than a Lowther.
Did you get a chance to listen to any of them?
BTW: Isn´t the Veravox 3 the only metal chassis?
(5S with supertweeter)
Would be interested in knowing what the results are.
I sthere a site where we can view the specs?
I've seen veravox data, but I think the resonnant frequency is not low enough to achieve good bass response.
What about Fostex FX120? that seems to be a good driver... and available...
Do someone compare this with Jordan JX92s???
I looked at the spec posted at the site, they do not have impedance curves of FR curves. Looking at the number, the Veravox don't look like Full Ranges.
I never listened to a Veravox, but my impression of ALR-Jordan speakers is that I prefer a softer sound.
I can scan some graphs of the 3 and 5S from a german speaker magazin if you´re interested.
The Veravox 3 has got ruler-flat FR with a slight peak above 10k similar to the FF85K. Distortion is much lower than of the TB W3-871S for example and the Veravox is also said to outperform both named candidates by a good margin (which can depend obviously).
Would appreciate the data. Lots of magazines are influenced by adds, so most would not reveal the total story of comparisons. I guess it's best to look at the design concept, and data first hopeing that the data is quite acurrate.
If the impedance curve at 20K rises to more than twice the lowest value, I would be interest in knowing what kind of compensation they use to get that FR curve. Normally you don't just get that curve from the driver alone.
The Veravox 3 seems to be closer to the Jordan JX53 in size, I would not consider the JX53 as full range though. The TB ones are probably 3 inches, which would be larger than the Veravox 3 I think. So when you compare drivers of different sizes, the physical limitations would differ.
Of those drivers I have heard so far and which one may coin "wideband" I find that the "sweet spot" is around 8 - 10". Much smaller drivers are too limited in terms of available dynamic range unless used as 2-Way with a seperate woofer and a fairly high crossover point, even then problems remain.
In the 8-10" Category I have heard the following:
various Lowthers
some AER
various old Radio Chassis
5" Drivers very similar to the Veravox 5" (same maker etc) in Horns
Goodmans Axiom 80, 110, Axiette etc.
Phy-Hp 8" & 12" Coax
Supravox 8"
Many of these are exceptional in certain areas, but have significant problems in others.
I like the Supravox and Phy-Hp whizzer cone less drivers best, but they need a supertweeter. From all of these I feel the Supravox fieldcoil Drivers are close to the best one can get, but cost is very high. Still, that is what I am using, with a fairly expensive horn supertweeter.
If money is a significant object I would think one of the medium size (5" or so) wizzer less Fostex's with a 200...250Hz crossover to a suitable woofer would be a good choice.
The alternative are good sounding large size (10"...12") fullrange drivers which only miss the extreme topend but have an otherwise balanced sound/tone with a good quality supertweeter. (Example Bastanis Prometheus Kit, Phy Hp Coax)
Ciao T
Thanks Kuei Yang Wang for all this experience...
I like supravox and phy-hp too, but it's a little expensive for me... Do you think visaton B-200 could be a good candidate with a little tweeter? (why not a motorola piezzo like phy???)
The ceramic magent Supravox drivers are available whizzer less in both a variant suitable to Sealed/Reflex/TQWT enclosures and one for TQWT and Opn Baffle and are not that expensive.
If cost is a real crunchpoint the Ciare CH250 seems to be good (I have to get a pair myself) or one of the various 4 - 5" Fullrangers available with a passive woofer section would seem a good idea. You get affordable 4"...5" fullrangers from Fostex, Tangband, Vifa and so on.
I own a pair of Ciare CH250. They have an excellent sense for fine details and I don`t feel the desire for a supertweeter.
Funny no one has mentioned Hartley.
Hi KYW
How do the Supravox and Phy-Hp compare with your old Axiom 80?
The 8" Phy-Hp from the occasions I heard it has a simalar behaviour, but perhaps a little less dynamic range, the 12" Phy Hp does (IMHO) outperform the whole lot (including Axiom 80) on most counts but it is impractical for me, at this stage and I hope my own "less compromised speaker project" will, when it bears fruit be a notable step up from that....
All that said, if you have the Ax80 and you have tamed the balance errors and operate it within it's limits it is as good as most and the rest has more to do with preference and application, than with absolute quality.
Hello el'Ol
please tell us more about the Caire CH250..
show us some pictures or drawings if you want..
(in german but with a picture)
(a thread about that speaker)
The Ciare CH250 is a 10" dual cone speaker with pressed-steel basket for open baffle use. You find the specs at
I use them in polymer concrete baffles. I read about somebody who has made very good experience with glass baffles he had originally designed for the PHY. He sold his PHYs on Ebay after he had tried the Ciares. The PHYs are said to perform better in wooden baffles. Probably the heavy bronze and alnico construction resonates too much and needs energy transfer to the surrounding material. I guess the best solution for the Ciares should be natural stone.
I use lacqued plywood for the side walls. But I found myself nocking on OSB plates some weeks ago and what I heard sounded very promising. I guess it should be possible to build pianos from that material. When you chose a narrow design for the baffle it`s important that the side walls are not parallel, in order to avoid standing waves.
You find o lot of baffle designs for the PHY athttp://www.auditorium23.de that should also be suitable for the Ciare.
I don`t have a digital camera, so I can`t show you my baffles.
But I hope I was able to help you.
I'm going to try the Ciare 250's in place of the (modified) Goodmans 201's in my open baffles (well I got the 201's when Thorsten had a pair and if he is going for Ciares, then this disciple will follow ;) )
One thing that comes to mind is modifying them. Has anybody thought about that or has anybody actually done it? The simple pressed steel basket looks like a good candidate for some work! :smash:
On a serious note, with drivers this big, is there a case for strengthening the basket as well as damping it?
full range....

Been listening to Lyeco Fullrange LY802Fs for a bit now. Seems they have something. Efficient enough (93) for tube amps.... at least my 8 watt 300Bs don't have a problem. They have pretty warm full bass (as it goes for any full range) compared to a few other full rangers I have heard.
Currently in TQWT enclosure. Took a bit of playing with stuffing....but in the end, jazz (what I listen to most) and classical sound pretty damn good.
Just finishing up designing BL horn for them. Over the next month or so will construct them (not small or light is the way it is looking!). I know, high Qts... but the math says I can, which is good enough reason to find out!
Specs> http://www.lyeco.com.tw/full%20range.htm
That looks like an interesting driver. Any information on pricing
and availability?
They quoted me $425 a pair. for the Lyecos, abit dear for me to bite right now.
Based on an earlier, long and winding thread about Norbert's experience with the Ciare CH250, I ordered a pair and use them on a 1050X650 baffle with the driver mounted 29/29cm from upper, inside corner. This recipe of Norbert's works really well. Once worked in, she's a true music maker, no doubt. With some contouring, done in the digital, it can really shine. I love it.
I got mine from www.spectrumaudio.de but I know others have received theirs from the US Dist, Jack Arnott at
www.assistanceaudio.com for about $90/pr... Look also at the tasty Ciare and BMS coaxials. These I find highly interesting for future OB consideration, and would welcome any thoughts on as well.
I would also like to know, Mr Pass, if there are any plans for a future "F2" iteration. I know Mr Ed Sch. swears by his as well as TC, for the Sigmahorns....
question for thorsten
Hi Kuei san,
I have the norelco 9762m's, before I place them in the standard open baffle seen here,
Is there anything you can suggest, to get them to sound as ok as they can. I know they're not brilliant but they're a stop gap until I can afford the superior field coils, or whatever you decide to use when the time comes (another disciple)..........
any suggestions and advice would be humbly (in the japansese honarable style) appreciated..........
I am using Beyma 8AG/n's in thin wall bass reflex cabinets (80 liter). I used them in OBs, but bass below 100 Hz was very thin. In these boxes they can go easily to 50 Hz, although their Fs is 105 Hz. I am still playing with stuffing and port dimensions to get rid of some "box" sound. OBs have really a nice sound that is difficult to achieve with a box.
Monacor SPH-60X ? (26/pc)
First I wouldn't even mention this (I ordered 4 of them to play around with in a 9 liter BR. And also one SPH-212 as BR subwoofer. Drivers should arrive next week.) But the Ciare CH250's are in the same price ballpark, so ...
anyone has some exp with these SPH-60X drivers in BR? I'll try them first in cardbord OB, and then in sealed cardbord. Then I'll build my design.
is doing the faceplates. General availability early June. The
F2 is different than the F1 in being a single-ended current
source, with a 2nd harmonic character and high impedance
RCA input only. The output wattage is 5 watts into 8 ohms,

The output impedance has been lowered to 15 ohms, as that
has been a much more popular figure.

I'm using this driver in 47 liter MLTL, f3-45Hz, designed in Martin King's tool. I use supertweeter - Eminence APT 80 crossed with 0.16 uF (if I remember right). I think it works really well, especially considering its price. Tweeter is needed IMO.
Here is some interesting project using this driver:
I want to try it on OB and do some mods to this driver.
I have a webpage describing my speakers: [http://blackmoore.szm.sk/] but it is in slovak language... :confused: You can look at the photos, but they don't work now :cannotbe: I'll fix it in near future... :smash:

TORONTO - With the 2014 NHL title on the line Wednesday, the man who scored the 2013 Stanley Cup winner must yearn to play for a champion again.
But Dave Bolland insists he wants his next chance to be with the Maple Leafs, a team well out of the Cup running at this stage and one that might not even commit to him next season. No matter, Bolland wants to stay and says he'll be "100%" healthy to make the contribution that an ankle tendon injury denied him last season.
Bolland and the club must overcome the NHL salary cap, his wish to cash in on unrestricted free agency and the Leafs' concern about his recovery from the career threatening mishap last November.
"You have a lot of options and you want to explore the market, but I want to be a Leaf," Bolland said Tuesday after he was guest drawmaster for Saturday's Pepsi North America Cup at Mohawk Raceway in Campbellville. "It's a business and I learned that last year when I got traded (to the Leafs by Chicago).

Comments about Liga Undercrown By Drew Estate Gordito Maduro:
This is the kind of cigar that you savor. Take the time needed,uncork your best, and enjoy. Spice and copious amounts of smoke await you and an aroma that will attract any aficionado. Razor thin burn holds a long gray ash. I have enjoyed most all of the Drew Estate Cigars out there. This ranks with the best and at a price that beats many more expensive cigars. Strongly recommended for those who like med/full cigars and the spice this one brings.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Will Witherspoon picked off a Kyle Orton pass with 1:39 remaining Sunday, preserving the Tennessee Titans' 17-14 victory over Denver in Nashville.
The Titans (2-1) had grabbed the lead with 4:28 to go when Daniel Graham hauled in a four-yard pass for the go-ahead score.
But Witherspoon made sure Tennessee held on for the victory with a pick-off on a pass that was tipped by defensive tackle Jason Jones.
The Titans' Chris Johnson was stymied on the ground, with only 21 yards on 13 carries, but gained 54 yards on four receptions while Matt Hasselbeck completed 27-of-36 passes for 311 yards and two scores.
Denver (1-2) lost momentum when it failed to convert a 4th-and-goal play from the 1-yard line while holding a 14-10 advantage early in the fourth quarter.
Orton went 24-of-39 through the air for 173 yards with two touchdowns but was plagued by a pair of crucial interceptions.

Doctor ratings--entertaining or useful?
Now, with more Americans losing their docs, more and more are trying to find someone else reputable with an efficient office and a decent education. Apparently, according to one survey, two-thirds of Americans know rating sites exist. For two-thirds of Americans to know ANYTHING is huge.
In this study, 35% picked a doctor because of a good rating, and 37% avoided one because of a bad rating. What did the other ones do--shrug?
No one knows how reliable these ratings are--surely one bad review can give a doc a bad rating--this may not be fair.
Some sites such as Healthgrades has patients rate docs on many markers--communication skills, friendliness of staff, how easy it is to get an urgent appointment, etc. The written reviews from patients are given less weight.
Stats show most people ask their friends and relatives for a recommendation. I don't do that--my sister is alll about whether a doctor is "nice." I tend to want smart and "gets me."
It's all pretty sketchy.
I have seen reviews that say: "No wonder there is no ring on her finger" and another one, "Go after lunch--he takes his antidepressants at lunch."
Yeah, maybe I will stay sick.

July 3, 2013 - following Toronto's 3-3 v. Montreal.
TORONTO - On a night in which he scored his first MLS goal and set up a teammate for another, Toronto FC forward Jeremy Brockie was most concerned with the chances missed.
INTERVIEWS: Neslen | Russell | Brockie | Caldwell
RELATED: Recap: TFC 3-3 IMFC | Watch Kia Game In Six
"I have to be the first to put my hand up because I should have hit the back of the net with the one that Reggie [Lambe] laid back," Brockie told MLSsoccer.com after Toronto's 3-3 draw with the Montreal Impact on Wednesday night.
Video: Brockie scores his first MLS goal.
That chance came in the 67th minute, when TFC were up 3-1. Lambe got to the endline and cut a pass back to a wide-open Brockie. From 12 yards out, however, Brockie put his shot well over the bar.
"If we had gone up 4-1 at that point, there was no way they could have come back," he said.
But Montreal did come back, scoring two quick goals just a few minutes later. The match finished 3-3.
Facing off against an Impact squad that had pummeled TFC 6-0 in their last meeting in a Canadian Championship fixture in May, it was TFC that had their way with their fellow Canadian side in a first half. The Reds scored three goals for the first time this season, despite playing without Robert Earnshaw, the squad's leading scorer.
Video: Brockie nearly gives Toronto the lead.
Acquired on loan from A-League side Wellington Phoenix in May, Brockie was a central component TFC's performance, scoring the the home side's opening goal in the sixth minute — his first strike since joining the club — and then setting up Steven Caldwell in the 21st minute.
But the good fortune of the first half seemed to abandon Brockie in the second. The 25-year-old New Zealander just missed out on dramatic winning goal when he hit the post in the 89th minute.
"There was some good play in that first half," Brockie added. "Unfortunately, for one reason or another, we came out in the second half and still created chances but didn't finish."
After being shutout in their last two matches, TFC's squad sees something positive from the fact that they scored three times. But it comes with a caveat.
"It is the first time we have scored three goals this season," Brockie said. "But then again it is also the first time we have conceded three goals all season [in league play]. ... When your winning 3-1 at halftime, you should always come away with the three points. It's a very disappointed changing room right now."
The players will have some time now to contemplate what went right and what went wrong. The Reds have a 10-day break before an away match against Sporting KC on July 13.

The European Union has released an interesting report on customs enforcement of intellectual property rights in the EU. (Intellectual property rights or IPR encompasses primarily infringements of copyright, trademark, patent, and proprietary processes or technologies.) In 2011 there were 91,245 cases that involved 114,772,812 articles with a total value of € 1,272,354,795 (approximately US$ 1,635,230,400). This was an increase of slightly more than 14.5% in value and over 11% in the number of articles from 2010, while the number of cases increased by more than 15%.
In general, a greater increase in the number of cases than in articles indicates an increase in smaller shipments. There has been an increase for the second year in a row in the number of cases related to postal shipments, which tend to be small shipments. In 2009, 34.43% of the cases were attributed to postal transport. In 2011, that had increased to 62.91% of the cases.
While medicines account for a major proportion of the articles, shoes, clothing, personal accessories, electrical household goods, and mobile phone accessories each make up a significant portion of the total. "All other categories" is 28.79% of the articles and 32.58% of the cases.
More problems with IPR at customs mean more enforcement efforts and more inspections. Postal operators are also changing their requirements to conform to the World Customs Organization (WCO) requirements. (More information is being passed electronically.) This has lead to the recent changes in customs documentation requirements by the USPS and other postal operators.
All of this can in turn lead to delays for customs inspections. You can help ensure smooth and timely transport of your items by making sure your shipments have proper documentation. Check with any shipping service you use to verify that the customs information is correct and the forms are up-to-date. The postal regulations for many postal operators are available on their web sites – search for customs or the local equivalent.
If you ship or mail any kind of goods, you should take a look at the EU report, available at http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/customs/customs_controls/counterfeit_piracy/statistics/2012_ipr_statistics_en.pdf

Jackson Back in Seattle
For the Seattle Storm, Thursday's practice was a chance to welcome several players back to The Furtado Center. Sheryl Swoopes and Swin Cash returned after injuries forced them to stay home as the Storm traveled to Sacramento on Tuesday. Kimberly Beck was re-signed more than two months after being waived in late June. The most welcome sight of all might have been forward Lauren Jackson, who rejoined the Storm for the first time since leaving the team in mid-July. After arriving in Seattle at 11:00 p.m. Wednesday night, Jackson was on the sidelines supporting her teammates during practice.
"They were all sort of giddy in the locker room," Storm Head Coach Brian Agler said. "We had a lot of people back - Sheryl got back, Swin got back, Lauren got back, Kim got in here."
Late in group play, she made the decision to undergo surgery on the ankle at the conclusion of the Olympics. After losing to the USA in the gold-medal match and finishing with her third straight silver medal, Jackson returned to Australia to have the surgery.
"The decision wasn't really that difficult," Jackson said in discussing the surgery with the Seattle media for the first time, "because there's no way I could have kept going. I couldn't even walk on it."
Jackson explained that she had been dealing with bone spurs in her right ankle for some time, her ankle last having been cleaned up during a reconstruction after the 2004 season. With the help of the Storm's training staff, she had managed any discomfort, but ultimately the only way to treat the bone spurs is to have them removed.
The timetable for doing so became immediate when one of the spurs broke off when Jackson landed awkwardly while going up for a layup during practice with the national team, lodging in scar tissue and creating a major problem.
"They ended up removing four or five (spurs) from my actual bone," explained Jackson. "They injected the bone that had broken off with cortisone, which helped it a little bit. Then about a week later it started flaring up again."
While Jackson could grit her way through paind and swelling for the remaining week of Olympic play with the help of cortisone shots, doing so for the final month of the WNBA season as well as the playoffs was never an option. She drew some criticism from the local media for the timing of her surgery, but Jackson ignored it.
"I think I read a couple of things, but until people really know what's going on, I don't care," she said. "I know what I went through. Sue (Bird) knew what happened and Brian knew, people that knew knew."
Two weeks removed from the surgery, Jackson is feeling "really good." She's been able to begin working out to strengthen her calf and leg muscles and get back where she was before the surgery.
"(The bone spurs) are gone, so I definitely feel better," Jackson said. "I'm moving better. I don't have any of the pain I had before. I'm heaps better."
The next step, with the guidance of Storm doctors and Athletic Trainer Tom Spencer, is plotting a course for Jackson's return. She said she's two weeks away from being cleared to run and get on the court. Jackson wants to be cautious, understanding the limits of her body after two ankle surgeries in the last four years and other battles with shin splints. Yet, she says, "As soon as I feel like I can really get out there, I will."
The way the Storm has played without her may work to help ease Jackson's anxiousness to return. Since Jackson left for Australia, the Storm has gone 7-4, including a 4-4 record away from KeyArena that is an improvement on how the team played on the road with the two-time MVP.
"I spoke to Sue and Brian kept me fairly well in touch," Jackson said, explaining how she followed the team while in Australia. "Obviously the Internet's a wonderful thing.
"They're amazing. Like I said right from the beginning, Brian's got everyone playing really well. I think the talent is really starting to shine, which I don't know if a lot of people have seen everyone step up the way that they have in Seattle, which is so exciting for everybody. Sue for MVP, I say. I'm cheering for her. I'm really proud of her. She's been unbelievable. I got my family to vote for her.
"Everybody, I think, has really stepped into a role and stepped up. Obviously Camille (Little), Sue, Yo (Griffith) is playing great. Everybody is. I can't really sort of say one or two people. I think everybody's stepped up. It's a credit to the coaching staff, I reckon, and to them as well. Everybody has really taken this challenge and taken it seriously and is going for it. It's awesome to watch from afar."
While she was recovering at home, Jackson had the chance to spend time with friends and move past the heartbreak of being unable to fulfill her dream of winning a gold medal.
"It hasn't really registered, to be honest," she said. "A lot's happened. Obviously it was really disappointing. America were great. They're the best - they played the best that night. To be honest, they were really, really good. I'm happy for (U.S. and former Storm Head Coach) Anne (Donovan). I'm happy for all the girls on the American team. At the end of the day, they were the best."
Olympic gold may not have been in the cards, but Jackson still can hope to add another WNBA title to the she won with the Storm in 2004. Given how the team has played without her, Jackson has no doubt that's a realistic possibility.
"The way that they've been playing, even without me I would expect them to win a championship," Jackson said. "I hope I can get back in time."
Cash Practices, Swoopes Watches
Swoopes joined her teammates at practice for the first time since she suffered a concussion and ended up in the hospital after Saturday's win over the Minnesota Lynx. Swoopes dealt with headaches earlier this week, but felt well enough to watch practice. She did not speak to the media, but Agler offered an update on her condition.
"Sheryl will be out (tomorrow)," he said. "Obviously, with a concussion you have to take some time off. I think she'll start some activity probably over the weekend, Saturday or Sunday."
Cash also stayed home during the Storm's brief road trip to Sacramento because her troublesome back flared up and became very painful after Saturday's game, but Cash participated in practice and could potentially return when the Storm hosts the Atlanta Dream on Fan Appreciation Night (7:00 p.m., 1150 AM KKNW, ).
"Swin is just a day-to-day thing," said Agler. "Right now, if we had to answer your question, I'd say she probably won't play, but tomorrow's a new day."
"I'm just at a point where I need to get some rest," added Cash. "It flared up a little bit. You want to make sure you're doing the best thing and at the top of your game. So I'm just cautious right now."
Beck Re-Signed
With two games left in the regular season, the Storm's position relative to the WNBA salary cap offered the opportunity to add a 13th player to the roster. The Storm made use of that spot to re-sign Beck, who was waived on June 29 after playing 15 games for the team early in the season and serving at times as the backup point guard. The injuries to Cash and Swoopes have thinned the Storm's ranks on the perimeter.
"We just feel like we needed to provide a little bit more depth on the perimeter right now," Agler explained. "We've been talking about doing something for a period of time. There's other things that play into that beyond the person - timing, finances, that type of thing. We've always known that we've been short at the ballhandling positions. Kim's definitely familiar with the system, players know her and provides some backup there at the point position."
Beck herself was surprised to get another shot with the Storm.
"Being a rookie, I don't know how everything works," she said. "I got a call, flew in the next day, so apparently that's how it works. Gotta stay ready."
Signing Beck does not affect the status of fellow rookie Kristen O'Neill, whose latest seven-day contract expires tomorrow. The Storm must decide at that point whether to re-sign O'Neill for the remainder of the regular season.

Letter: School presentation marred by this political posturing
It's offensive to force people to listen to biased political arguments that they have no desire to hear, but unfortunately it's not uncommon.
It happened, for example, on the evening of May 13 during the annual River Falls High School Awards program.
The program provides scholarships for hundreds of graduating students who have excelled in areas ranging from academics and athletics to art, community service, and social work.
The awards are presented by people who are expected to give direct, objective descriptions of each student's achievements.
All presenters met this expectation -- except Belinda Hopp, who represented the River Falls Sportsman's Club.
Hopp turned her presentation into a speech against gun control. She ignored the fact that the unrestricted availability of firearms has resulted in many mass shootings, but insisted that any kind of gun-control legislation would fatally damage the United States Constitution.
I was stunned that someone would play this kind of trick on an occasion when political posturing is entirely out of place.
It didn't seem to bother Hopp, however, because she walked off the stage smiling.

This storyline (haha) of his is not at all original.
So many times have evil teams been reformed, so many times do people revamp the regions... And more than that, the gym leaders change, the terrain changes... The places are modernized...
This is more like a remake of R/S/E...
Right now it seems like, "it was my idea and I want everybody else to work on this..." People aren't going to contribute unless you yourself have done something...
I still maintain though, not getting time or not been able to work is not an excuse for a bad story line, after all that's the main idea that you're posting.
As far as the rules are concerned, even they say that the storyline must be one paragraph at least...

My wife and I went to the Cafe at M and S Liverpool yesterday around 1700 hours. The service from the young lady behind the counter was awful. Such as the milk jug slammed down after we had to ask for the milk for our coffee. She was very surly and I think she has forgotten who pays her wages. The sitting area was disgusting. Plates, cups and all the other crocery piled up on the tables. The floor was as if a bomb had hit it, rubbish everywhere. There were a number of staff out the back doing absolutely nothing, but talk to their chums. One member of staff was making a token effort to clear up, but badly. I could sort these cafes out within a matter of weeks across the north of England, there is no leadership or management as far as I can see. Liverpool is not the only one that I have had this experience, you hope it is better the next time you buy a coffee, but it just never is. These Cafes do M and S a deep misservice, to them and their name.

UN55701 Life, A Tightrope
capstone program
Daniel Kirschner
Professor in Biology
Office: Higgins Hall, Room 515
Telephone: 617-552-0211
Email: email@example.com
Course offered in Spring 2010
Course Description
Given that each of us is part nahr (fool) and part mensch (one worthy of respect), how do we achieve balance between the two? Should we even attempt to achieve such an inner balance? How do we answer Hillel's challenge from the first century C.E.: "If I am not for myself, who will be? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?" In our aim to carry on with BC's objective to "Light the World", how do we develop/maintain our own "inner light" as it pertains to family, relationships, vocation, community, faith traditions, and avocation? How do we maintain a balance among these diverse commitments?
This seminar will confront these questions. We will consider the varied inputs that feed who we are and that help to inform our individual life decisions. Though forged by genetics, family, community, school, and faith traditions, our identities are in constant flux—challenged by the inevitable change around us or driven inwardly as we actively make choices.
Through discussion, and reading and writing assignments, we will explore our identities from different perspectives, our decision making up until this time, our expectations for the future, and strategies for future decision making that may help to link our inner and outer balances. We anticipate having at least one guest speaker who is an exemplar of one who has crossed disciplines to achieve personal and professional balance.

I just saw a post on the SF chowhound board that in some of the pizza places in Napoli, you can pay a bit extra to upgrade the Mozzarella. True? If so, where? We didn't see it at a number of well-regarded places in old-town Napoli around the university, but maybe January isn't the season for Mozzarella di Bufala?
We liked the pizza, but everywhere we tried it the ingredients lacked a certain something, with the resulting pizza being cheap and tasty but not as good as it could have been.

BANGKOK, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A Thai anti-government protester was shot and killed Sunday as protesters blocked voters from entering polling stations in Bangkok, authorities said.
The dead man was identified as Suthin Thararin, a protest leader for the People's Democratic Reform Committee, or PDRC, CNN reported.
He was shot in front of Sri Eiam Temple in Bangkok during clashes with pro-government protesters, said Police Col. Thawatkiat Jindakuansanong.
PDRC spokesman Akanat Promphan blamed the government for Suthin's death, the Bangkok Post reported.
"After the emergency decree was imposed, the situation became more tense and the government still refuses to postpone the general election [scheduled for Feb. 2]," Akanat said. "Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, as the head of the government and the person who declared the state of emergency, must take responsibility for today's incidents, or else the public will revolt and call for justice."
About 2 million Thais were registered to participate in Sunday's advanced voting for those unable to vote in the Feb. 2 elections, CNN said.
Hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters showed up to block polling centers in Bangkok and southern Thailand.
"This is the day when Thailand and the rest of the world saw the true face of the protest movement," said Sunai Phasuk, a researcher in Thailand with Human Rights Watch. "They are using thuggery to disrupt the voting process."
Protesters in Thailand have been calling for Yingluck to resign and an unelected "people council" be put in place to see through electoral and political changes.
"You cannot battle corruption by stopping democracy," Sunai said.

ROSWELL, Ga. – Centennial High School seniors spent the day helping the community at more than 30 different sites around Roswell on Oct. 16. Over 400 students participated in Senior Service Day and contributed to the community in many ways. On this day, more than 1,200 service hours were completed by the Centennial seniors.
Students set up decorations at East Roswell Park, organized three understaffed public libraries, made over 80 meals for the families at Ronald McDonald House, tutored children and ran a career day at local elementary and middle schools and entertained residents of Ivey Ridge and Sunrise assisted living homes.
Although many students left the school to serve around Roswell, some students chose to stay at Centennial and help out the workers that serve the students every day. An appreciation lunch was put on for some of Centennial's hardest working employees including the custodians and cafeteria staff.
Senior Service Day is a Centennial tradition and the seniors have been giving back for more than a decade now. The Centennial class of 2014 aimed to "serve with class" as they provided service around the community.

An increasing number of distributed applications are being constructed by composing them out of existing applications. The resulting applications can be very complex in structure, containing many temporal and dataflow dependencies between their constituent applications. An additional complication is that the execution of such an application may take a long time to complete, and may contain long periods of inactivity, often due to the constituent applications requiring user interactions. In a distributed environment, it is inevitable that long running applications will require support for fault-tolerance and dynamic reconfiguration: machines may fail, services may be moved or withdrawn and application requirements may change. In such an environment it is essential that the structure of applications can be modified to reflect these changes. This paper describes the design and implementation of a coordination language and the supporting execution environment for expressing the run-time composition of distributed applications and their dependencies. The system supports interoperability as it has been designed and implemented as a set of CORBA services. Dynamic control is made possible because the execution environment is built using a transactional workflow management system where sets of inter-related tasks can be carried out and supervised in a dependable manner. The paper describes how relevant ideas from the fields of workflow management and software architectures can be combined to provide an advanced application construction and execution environment, using distributed objects and middleware technologies.

Sarasota Notes (Part Two)
Lunch with a friend at the bleak branch of First Watch on South Tamiami. There's another First Watch downtown. This is a rapidly-expanding chain, with an all-day breakfast-type menu, such as eggs and waffles. We had alleged frittatas. Expect mediocrity and you won't be disappointed.
Drove over to Boca Raton for a celebratory dinner with family at the local outpost of the Capital Grille. Busy and noisy the night before Valentine's Day (except we had a sheltered booth), faux-clubby atmosphere. Not imaginative cooking, but excellent ingredients simply prepared. We had a halibut special with crab-infused couscous, a slab of grilled ahi on gingered rice, and sides of frites and green beans sautéed with onions and tomatoes. The service was attentive without being obsequious. Not inexpensive (of course), but rather good value.
We did some cooking in our rented condo. We enjoyed the previously-frozen wild white shrimp from Whole Foods, which we pan-fried in olive oil. Another day, seeking perfection, we bought fresh, never-frozen pink shrimp. They were nowhere near fresh (strong smell and iodine taste) and many were broken. On a later visit, the manager of the fish section was unapologetic. He said that the best way to determine freshness is to smell the shrimp, which was not exactly news, but it never occurred to us to ask Whole Foods for a sniff before buying. Now we know. The manager said they get them fresh on Tuesday and Friday, so we tried again on a Tuesday but they hadn't received a delivery. The cheeses at WF are excellent; our single favorite is cave-aged Emmenthal. We eschewed the overpriced vegetables there, some of which are in poor condition anyway.
We're very impressed with Publix supermarkets. They had excellent cold cuts in the deli section, superb USDA choice filets at $11.99 a pound (!), fresh vegetables and salad greens (top marks for arugula), and mouth watering nectarines from Chile. Their rotisserie chicken is delicious – we bought it twice - and a bargain at about $7.50 for a whole bird. The Oaks barbecue is rubbish in comparison, and rubbish in any event.
Bread. At home we bake our own. In Sarasota, we had problems. Whole Foods has an uninspired selection, some of it sourced from Bavarian Bakery. At the Bavarian Bakery store on South Tamiami the best of the lot was a nearly tasteless whole wheat loaf. Publix has its line of unwrapped so-called artisan breads; a multigrain and "harvest bread" were better than the Bavarian breads. Almost all the bread at Panera is crap – what they call a miche is a disgrace – but they have a remarkable whole- grain baguette with a crisp, dense crust and rich, chewy crumb. Of course, the texture was nothing like a white-flour baguette, but it was by far the most satisfying loaf that we found.
A fascinating aspect of review boards is the inconsistency of opinions. In two reviews dated within a few days of each other, one will say that the meal and service were fit for an emperor, and another will say that that the food was swill and the place was a cesspool. The reviews of Selva Grill were consistently positive, almost all five-star. So we went there.
Selva Grill is undoubtedly a good restaurant, with an unusual and interesting Peruvian fusion menu. We had the tuna-watermelon ceviche, a green salad, the acclaimed skirt steak, and the swordfish. The flavors and colors are intense. They lose points for the steak, which had some large lumps of unchewable gristle. And the swordfish was certainly edible, but, dare I say, seemed not fresh or perhaps not well maintained, with a strange, slightly gamy taste.
The reviews of Ceviche Tapas are examples of inconsistency. We really liked the energetic room and the food. The atmosphere is casual of course, so this isn't fine dining. The service was friendly and a bit sloppy, but that's OK in context. We had the excellent house ceviche, a sparkling house salad, grilled snapper sautéed with onions, the delicious grilled shrimp with romesco sauce, a side of grilled vegetables (don't bother), and the totally satisfying bread pudding. The dessert was big enough for two or three to share, with caramelly bread, two scoops of ice cream and some fresh berries. Highly recommended.
Ophelia was an upscale choice. It was too cold to eat outside, but we had a perfect table for two in the corner at the window. The full moon shone down on the bay. The room was busy and energetic (Saturday night). The service was well-informed and attentive. We had lobster posole soup; a delicious variant of a caprese salad, made with fried green tomatoes and first-rate mozzarella; grilled shrimp with a tangle of vegetables, served over so-so linguini; and the duck. The menu lists it as duck three ways: grilled breast, barley risotto with confit (top marks for this), and foie gras toasts. Your correspondent does not eat foie gras, so they obligingly left it off and doubled the grilled breast. They serve a small loaf of warm crusty bread baked with roasted garlic within. The bad news is that the bread is sourced from Country Hearth, and not sold at retail. Ophelia deserves its commendations.
During our month in Sarasota we did not eat at any Chinese, Japanese, Thai. Mexican, pizza or steak places. Maybe next time.

Mary Tyler Moore was once America's Sweetheart, a shining beacon
of happy domesticity on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and an
iconic figure of both pop culture and the women's liberation
movement on her 1970s landmark program "The Mary Tyler Moore
Show." Throw in her dance career, both as a ballerina and
then as a hoofer on Broadway and television (most notably in her
own eponymous variety shows), and you have a consummate American
star of stage and screen whose very name evokes excitement and love
from anyone who hears it.
In GROWING UP AGAIN: Life, Loves, and Oh Yeah, Diabetes, Moore
takes us on a tour of a very different part of her life, the one
that she has been living for the last 40-plus years.
Three years after her turn as Laura Petrie, Moore found out she
had type 1 diabetes. It was the year before she made her massive
leap into the Television Hall of Fame with "The Mary Tyler
Moore Show." This was not a performer who had time to spare,
and yet, just as one of the busiest parts of her career was about
to commence, she discovered that her life was going to change in
significant and not-so-pleasant ways. Undergoing a D&C after a
miscarriage, the doctors discovered she had juvenile diabetes, a
strange occurrence since juveniles usually find out they have the
disease, hence its name.
Clearly, she has "managed" this disease without affecting her
ability to work, but I surmise that most people will find some of
the stories contained in this book absolutely shocking, such as the
fact that she was also "managing" as a working alcoholic at the
same time.
There is an amazing honesty to Moore's recollections --- these
are debilitating and difficult situations to retrieve, and her
memories serve her very well, down to the last detail. When she
writes about the way that her sicknesses have taken a toll on her,
body and soul, she gives specifics. If you or someone you know is a
diabetic, you will find this candid look at the real effects of
diabetes to be a very valuable tome. If you are just a fan, you
will find Moore's inimitable pluck intact, particularly when
she talks about how her disease has gotten in the way of her
performing. Her story about her eyesight failing at a party for
John Travolta after the premiere of Hairspray is alarming.
Who would've thought that someone like her, who seems so
outwardly together and functioning, could have moments like these
where she is almost blind and falling down in public?
Moore's tales of her alcoholism as well as her difficult
marriages and her son's death due to drug abuse are all testaments
as to why she can be called a "true survivor."

There is an intersesting study being reported (at the annual Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness meetings in D.C.) on elementary school achievement gap dynamics. The study indicates that the usual "racial/ethnic" gaps are seen in early years, but that a lot of gap-closing happens by fifth grade.
"We found significant achievement gaps within racial and ethnic groups," said Pamela Davis-Kean, a developmental psychologist at the U-M Institute for Social Research (ISR) who conducted the study with U-M post-doctoral fellow Justin Jager."We also found a significant proportion of students who caught up to the high achievers in their groups by the end of fifth grade, especially in reading. This shows that schooling does have an impact in closing the achievement gap for substantial numbers of children."
About 30 percent of EuroAmericans, 26 percent of African Americans and 45 percent of Asian Americans were in high achieving groups by the spring semester of fifth grade.This sounds like an interesting study, but so far it is only reported in this press release. We await more information.
