Sabres Acquire The Rights To Christian Ehrhoff
The new front office of the Sabres said that they would be aggressive this offseason. They've backed up that promise by acquiring the rights to former Vancouver Canucks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff.
The new front office of the Sabres said that they would be aggressive this offseason. They've backed up that promise by acquiring the rights to former Vancouver Canucks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff.
In May we told you that the Sabres Had Shown Interest In Buying The Rochester Americans . Today the American Hockey League has announced their approval of the sale to Terry Pegula.
After their first-round playoff loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Buffalo Sabres big-four, owner Terry Pegula, team president Ted Black, general manager Darcy Regier and coach Lindy Ruff held a press conference Friday morning at HSBC Arena to answer questions about the team, the season and the future
Let's face it, the Buffalo Sabres were pretty damn lucky to get as far as they got this year. Mr. Terry Pegula says our reason for existence is to win a Stanley Cup.
Congratulations to Jamie Clark of Orchard Park who won a pair of tickets to tonight's Buffalo Sabres playoff game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Jamie submitted a photo of herself on the Great Wall of China wearing a cap with the Sabres logo - a photo she snapped herself. What a great shot.
I really can't explain it. Why should a grown man care so much about the game by game travails of a bunch of young guys in uniforms playing a sport? I wish it wasn't that way - but I can't help it. In case anybody didn't know, I admit it - I'm a fan of the Buffalo Sabres. I've been a fan since they entered the NHL in 1970. They've provided some incredible thrills over the years and probably just as many disappointments. I wanted to punch something after their dismal game against the St. Louis Blues last Friday.
Terry Pegula was officially introduced as the new owner of the Buffalo Sabres.
The Buffalo Sabres are holding a major press conference today at 11am with new owner Terry Pegula. I was down at the HSBC Arena this morning and the excitement is starting to build. The front of the arena is filled with television remote vehicles ready to cover this beginning of a new era for Buffalo hockey fans
When the guy shows up at HSBC Arena in the flesh it's hard to deny he's not there. The Buffalo Sabres released a statement that Terry Pegula met with team officials on Tuesday for informal discussions ahead of buying the team from Tom Golisano. For weeks various sources have reported that Pegula will plunk down $175-million to buy the team, but minority investor Larry Quinn continued to deny there was an elephant in the room...."a sale? What sale? I don't know anything about a sale." I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea.

Harbour master's Earl Grey wine down to a tea
THERE are times – sadly frequent enough this summer – when passengers disembarking at Maseline Harbour need a helping hand, if only to guide them to the handrail on the steps.
THERE are times – sadly frequent enough this summer – when passengers disembarking at Maseline Harbour need a helping hand, if only to guide them to the handrail on the steps.
That hand is often provided by harbour master Jim Hodge who, in common with many Sark residents, also fulfils another useful function when he's away from the day job.
Jim has turned his hobby, in his case making some exceptional alcoholic drinks, into a reasonably profitable 'and thoroughly enjoyable' sideline with a retail outlet adjacent to the gift shop at Stocks Hotel.
Before he transferred operations to Stocks' tap room – much to the delight of his wife Sam, who reclaimed the work surfaces in her kitchen – making wine was really a hobby; something he'd seen his sister doing when he was a teenager in his native Scotland.
The move to Stocks came about during a chance conversation with one of the hotel's directors, Alex Magell, who sampled Jim's wine over a meal and suggested that once the hotel's renovations were complete there might be room to retail it.
The result is that the shelves are full and there's more in the taproom awaiting bottling.
The hobby started seven years ago with the aid of some old books sent by his sister and the first he made was from Earl Grey tea bags. This sounded strange to me, as I was expecting elderberry or something similar.
I pointed to something labelled 'raspberry' on a shelf and asked if he'd grown the fruit. No, was the reply, pointing to the label, that's from raspberry tea.
'Where I use fruit and vegetables I try to use as much locally-grown produce as I can,' he said, pointing to celery, beetroot and rhubarb marked on other labels. 'But you can make it pretty much out of anything.'
What about sloes, I asked, thinking about the bush in my own garden, which annually produces enough fruit for six or seven litres of sloe gin but this year has been totally bereft of fruit?
'I've made sloe wine but it's not to everyone's taste. I like it, but it's an acquired taste,' he said with a smile.
Jim explained that the tea wines are quickest to make – four months or so is about the norm – while others such as celery and blackberry can take between nine months and a year. He is also making liqueurs and I have to say I was fascinated with one.
In addition to using strawberries and pineapples he also produces a coffee bean and orange liqueur, using a fruit stuffed with beans and some vodka providing the 'oomph' – principally because that spirit does not overpower the flavour of the other ingredients.
And how soon before he quits the day job down at Maseline Harbour?
'We're doing quite well,' was all this particular canny Scot would say.
The way things are here at present in relation to jobs, it's nice to report on someone who is finding a market for what started as a hobby.
I referred some weeks ago to shop noticeboards being a traditional and effective form of communication and have noticed a marked increase in the number of Sarkees and long-term island residents advertising for work, with 'anything considered' being a frequently used phrase.
My journalistic colleague Bob Parsons, who produces the excellent Sark Scribe monthly magazine, has clearly noticed the same thing, because in his October edition he is offering free advertising space to anyone seeking work.
I hope that Sark doesn't return to the bad old days and those who need work done and can afford to pay fair and proper rates don't take unfair advantage of those seeking employment.
It does no one any favours at all.

So this video started going around my facebook today, with about a dozen of my female friends sharing the link with comments like, and "Everyone needs to see this", and "All girls should watch this," and "This made me cry." And I'm not trying to shame those girls! I definitely understand why they would do so. And I don't want to be a killjoy. But as I clicked the link and started watching the video, I started to feel a slight sense of discomfort. I couldn't put my finger on why that was, exactly, but it continued throughout the whole thing. After watching the video several more times, I have some thoughts…

Long Beach City Councilman Michael Fagen to be sentenced Wednesday
Former Long Beach City Councilman Michael Fagen, who faces up to 4 years in prison in a larceny case, will appear at District Court in Nassau County on Wednesday for sentencing.
He was convicted in February. Justice Meryl Berkowitz on Friday scheduled Fagen's sentencing.
Fagen was removed from the Long Beach City Council after being convicted of petty larceny and 18 counts of offering a false instrument for filing. Fagen illegally collected more than $15,000 in unemployment checks in 2010 while he was serving on the City Council, a Nassau jury decided.

Fagen was originally scheduled to be sentenced on April 8, but Berkowitz had not reviewed all of Fagen's parole reports, and sentencing was pushed back, said Fagen's attorney, Marc Gann of Mineola.
Jurors were split on the top charge against Fagen, which was grand larceny.

DEATH TOLL of Likoni ferry ACCIDENT rises to 15News 05:34
Saturday, the 26th of January 2013 - Sources at the Coast General Hospital in Mombasa have informed the Kenyan DAILY POST that the death toll from this morning's accident at the Likoni ferry has risen to 15 people.
This is after initial reports about the 6:30 A.M accident had put the body count at 11 people with 28 others injured. It's unclear just how many of the injured are still in a critical condition.
The accident at the Likoni ferry crossing happened when the breaks of a lorry failed and rammed into the passengers. The Kenyan Red Cross's emergency response team led the rescue effort.
The Kenyan DAILY POST has also received reports that the driver of the lorry might have taken the tragic decision to drive it into the ferry even when he had realized that the breaks had failed instead of driving into, headlong, into the channel.
More updates on this story to follow.

As the wildfire continues to burn in California, thousands of homes and businesses remain in danger, not to mention the hundreds of square miles of nature and wildlife in its blazing path. And while a fire of any magnitude is nothing to laugh at, a recent video taken by officials with Yosemite National Park shows the terrifying blaze from an eerily beautiful perspective.
Captured from multiple angles, the video shows a trail of smoke and orange sky as the fire grows and grows as far as the eye can see. Yet amid all of the destruction, many who have watched this video have found a strange beauty to it.
The California blaze has roared its way into the record books, becoming the 5th-largest wildfire in state history, scorching more than 200,000 acres, costing the state more than $39 million, and threatening more than 5000 structures.
See the blaze grow and spread, not only on the ground, but in the skies above in today's creepily beautiful time-lapse video of the day.

I love the idea of making adorably decorated cupcakes with my kids, particularly around Halloween. And I've known a few moms (my own, included) who were such stellar frosting artists that every treat they made was like a mini masterpiece.
I'm not one of those moms, sadly. Usually the "cute" cupcakes I attempt to bake with my kids end up looking like creepy props from the set of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
That's why I love these Mummy Cupcakes. They're so easy to do, even a pastry klutz like me can make them look the way they're supposed to. Trust me, they'll be a graveyard smash.

I don't care for marshmallow cream frosting but these look super cool!
Now this I can do....thanks:)
Cute decorations!
I did these a few years ago and my son's class loved them! I used yellow, orange, red, and brown M&M's for the eyes though.
Very cute!
Didn't make this design since we had already bought the sprinkles, but I did make the fluff icing. BEST I have ever made!!! Keeping it in my recipe box!


text: Today we added our official review for MGM's Blood & Chocolate, which is now in theaters everywhere. You can also check out interviews with the director and stars of the film over at BDTV. Here's what I had to say about the film, "In short, there is absolutely nothing remotely interesting or original in this forced adaptation. BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE just don't mix well, it left a terrible taste in my mouth that I couldn't rinse out. Avoid at all costs, this could easily be the single worst horror film of 2007 – and we just started the New Year (sigh)." Click the title for the review, pics, trailers and more.

Ridgeway (6'1", 200 LBS), from Ball State broke the Mid-American Conference single-season record for catches with 105 in 2004. He was originally a 2005 sixth-round pick of the St. Louis Rams and was waived when the team cut-down to 65 players before being awarded
to the Bengals the following day.
Reid (5'11"-190 LBS), from North Carolina State, recorded 125 tackles (88 solo) as well as two interceptions. He also returned 38 kicks for 984 yards and two touchdowns. As a senior in 2004, Reid returned seven kicks for a team-high 212 yards while adding 27 tackles, one interception and 10 pass breakups on defense. Reid signed with the Cardinals as a rookie free agent following the 2005 Draft.

Future Is Assured in Buffalo, and the Present Is Also Looking Bright [1:27 AM]
New York Times reports: 'Thats how were going to have to win by playing well in all three phases, Buffalo Coach Doug Marrone said. Special teams, really, for the last two weeks, have done a heck of a job.'
After Week 2, Buffalo Bills lead the list of most surprising 2-0 teams [1:26 AM]
SI reports: 'Still, credit the Bills for doing what needed to be done, especially on defense. Cornerback Corey Graham has been playing at a lights-out level this season, and he frequently jumped routes that Tannehill's receivers were trying to complete. Linebacker Preston Brown, the man in Buffalo's plan to replace the injured Kiko Alonso, led all Bills defenders with 13 tackles.'
Spiller, Watkins spark Bills' 29-10 win over Miami [1:25 AM]
AP reports: 'Watkins finished with eight catches for 117 yards, and Spiller added 69 yards rushing.'
Bills salute late owner before home opener [1:24 AM]
AP reports: 'Fans at a sold-out Ralph Wilson Stadium gave its late namesake a standing ovation Sunday as the Buffalo Bills saluted their founder before the home opener against the Miami Dolphins.'
Dolphins C Pouncey, LB Misi out vs Bills [1:23 AM]
AP reports: 'The Bills will be without linebacker Keith Rivers, who suffered a groin injury last week in Chicago. Defensive backs Ross Cockrell and Jonathan Meeks, running back Bryce Brown, tight end Lee Smith, offensive linemen Cyril Richardson and Cyrus Kouandjo will be inactive as well.'
Buffalo 29, Miami 10 [1:22 AM]
The Sports Network reports: 'The Bills sacked Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill four times and picked him off once a week after he had two touchdown passes against the Patriots.'
Bills' Clemson connection bites Dolphins [1:21 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'The Bills also received a big boost from their special teams, which produced a touchdown on C.J. Spiller's 102-yard kickoff return, five field goals by Dan Carpenter and a blocked punt that set up a score.'
Bills-Dolphins: What we learned [1:20 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'They appear to have discovered a winning formula. They're not asking second-year quarterback EJ Manuel to do too much. Just manage the game, make a play here and there and not make costly mistakes. They're relying on their defense, their special teams and their run game. So far, so good.'
Ride The Wave [1:19 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Coupled with a surprising week one road win in Chicago, the great news about the long term future of the team being secured put fans at an almost unprecedented level of joy. I say almost, because some would balk at putting this past week ahead of any of the four Super Bowl seasons. I don't really think the two compare. The best teams we ever saw produced a different feeling than the relief that brought on the emotional outpouring fans experienced this week.'
Bills pay tribute to Ralph Wilson with a win he would have loved [1:18 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'The Bills defense should get the lion's share of the credit, shutting down a Miami team that put up 33 points in a week one victory over the New England Patriots. The Dolphins were suffocated in the first half gaining a total of just 62 yards on 26 plays. Miami never got beyond its own 39 yard line over the game's first 30 minutes. They didn't cross into Bills territory until just over two minutes into the third quarter.'
Observations: Bills 29 - Dolphins 10 [1:17 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Did Sunday look familiar to you on offense? Thats probably because it was the same game plan the Bills had for quarterback EJ Manuel and how to attack the Chicago Bears. Buffalo simplified the game enough for Manuel over the last two weeks to the point that the second-year quarterback always looked comfortable when he dropped back to pass. He didnt have to win them the game, nor did they want him to.'
Bills Manhandle Dolphins 29-10 [1:16 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Following the Miami score, Buffalo's offense did not miss a beat after the Miami touchdown as CJ Spiller finally broke loose on offense scampering for a 47 yard run. His dash set up a 12 yard EJ Manuel touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins who continued his coming out party with his first career score. After the Bills scoring drive, Buffalo's defense got their first stop of the second half. The offense would then move the ball fluently down the field but again, were stopped short in the red zone and had to settle for 4th Dan Carpenter field goal of the day.'
Bills honor Wilson with ceremony, 2-0 start to season [1:15 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'The Bills defense, armed by the return of the once suspended linebacker Nigel Bradham, frustrated Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill and the offensive attack throughout the afternoon. After just one half, the Dolphins were limited to zero points and just 62 yards on 26 plays.'
Bills Answer Bell in Home Opener to Remember [1:14 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: '-Another week, another solid performance by the Buffalo defense. The unit was dominant in the first half holding the Dolphins to only 62 yards and six first downs. Miami found some room on the outside in the second half and benefitted by speeding up the tempo but the Bills were able to close the door and make the stops down the stretch. The Bills finished with four sacks and were able to pressure Tannehill throughout. So far, so good for Jim Schwartz and company. The Bills have surrendered 30 points total in their two wins.'
Bills fans energized over winning streak [1:13 AM]
WIVB-TV reports: '$350 on Stub Hub. Totally worth it, said Chris Johnson from Burlington, Ontario. We paid $1,250 for four tickets. They won, it was worth it. We would have paid $2,000."'
Bills ride emotion into first place [1:12 AM]
WROC-TV reports: 'he Bills clearly were sky-high, particularly Kyle Williams, the ninth-year defensive tackle, whos the longest tenured player on the roster and one of the few current players who had a chance to get to know Wilson, before he became ill. Theres no question, we were riding that emotion, Williams said. Theres no question that Mr. Wilsons presence was in this stadium today, just as it was every game since he brought this team to Buffalo.'
Immediate Reactions: Buffalo Bills 29, Miami Dolphins 10 [1:11 AM]
NickMendola.com reports: 'Under the now golden letters spelling out R-A-L-P-H C. W-I-L-S-O-N J-R on the Wall of Fame, the Buffalo Bills played a complete, three-phase effort that wouldve made the Golden Era owner proud.'
Bills Get Electric 29-10 Win Over Miami [1:10 AM]
Bills Daily reports: 'Everything was setup for a perfect day at Ralph Wilson Stadium. While the NFL has had a horrid week there was one little area of the huge league map that was having a fantastic week. The future was secured by the Pegulas and they were honoring the patriach of the franchise in what was a playoff atmosphere. The players knew it was a special day and were not going to let the euphoria of the past 10 days come to a sudden halt. This Bills team seems very focused as it would have been easy to let outside excitement allow them to letdown. They were ready to play and because that they are one of the early season surprise teams in the league after two short weeks.'
Special Teams Were Real Special [1:09 AM]
Bills Daily reports: 'Doug Marrone I agreed with his decision to punt late in the first half from the Dolphins 40 on a 4th and 4 play. The defense was dominating at the time and pin them back. Marrone had his team focused and prepared and the dominated from the start.'
Bills never trail in workmanlike 29-10 win over Dolphins [1:08 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'It wasnt until the first drive of the second half that Miami put points on the board thanks to a 34-yard field goal by Caleb Sturgis (9-3). But Buffalos kick return unit then busted a big play as C.J. Spiller with some help from his blockers went 102 yards for a touchdown to put the Bills up by 13 (16-3).'
Bills Clemson connection put the Dolphins game away [1:07 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Great game from Sammy, said EJ Manuel. It happened that a lot of calls and progressions had him getting the ball and coming open. He did a great job running the route and getting open. Im very proud of him. That last touchdown, he got in there for us on the third down. We call that a double whammy when you get a first down and get a touchdown in the red zone. That was huge for us, and thats what I expect from him. Great job right after the catch.'
Special teams stands out [1:06 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Pretty much the coaches came up to me and asked me if I was to do it, would I feel comfortable and I told them Id be fine, said Spiller. It was something that Ive done my whole life and hadnt done in a while. I felt very comfortable, just having to get back into the groove of catching it, making great decisions. Theres really no magic about being a kick returner. You have to be patient but as soon as you see it, youve got to go full speed.'
Ralph Wilson Jr. honored in emotional pregame ceremony [1:05 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Mr. Wilson was a true gentleman in every sense of the word, said Murphy. He was a man of high ideals who set a high standard for himself and those he worked with. Today, on behalf of the Buffalo Bills, we would like to forever honor his legacy by turning the letters of his name gold on the prestigious wall of fame, a symbol of the standard he set for all of us.'
Why Buffalo loves Fred Jackson [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Hes passionate about it. He plays with a chip on his shoulder, which is the quintessential Buffalo mentality, us against the world, always the underdog.'

DOCTOR WHO: WORLDS IN TIME To Shutdown In February
By Malik Forté on January 16, 2014
Doctor Who: Worlds in Time will "cease operation" next month on February 28th, 2014, according to the banner on the game's website. The cartoon-themed free-to-play MMO has been up and running for less than two years, but judging by its recent suspension of microtransactions, the game's already making arrangements for its exit.
For those of you who've never gotten around to trying Worlds in Time, it's basically Farmville mixed with a Doctor Who-themed variation of every classic puzzle game from the SNES/Sega Genesis/Neo Geo era. I believe many folks (including myself) expected it to be a sci-fi action game with intense depth, which is the polar opposite of what it turned out to be and why it hasn't been well received, hence the game being shutdown. But at its core, Worlds in Time wasn't all that great of a game, and another lackluster outing for Doctor Who in the video game space. Rest In Peace, Worlds in Time, and to any of the game's player base who may be reading this, try not to lose any sleep, my friends.
why the hell are they deleting it
Can I ask a serious question: if the game sucks too much to mention, why is it shutting down news? Because of the Doctor Who varnish?
[…] By Malik Forté […]
Glad to see this appraisal. I signed up initially, took a look and never went back again. Didn't seem to have any depth to it.
Meanwhile, Doctor Who Legacy has been enjoyable, but I've NEVER received a rare drop, despite playing some stages countless times. A little annoying.

Blue Crimbo Strikes Bombed Out Church
Out latest city landmark has turned blue!
Another Liverpool landmark got the #bluecrimbo treatment this evening as we stepped up our quest to turn the city Blue.
This time it was the bombed out church at the top of Bold Street which received a special Everton makeover as we continued to count down the 12 Days Of Blue Christmas.
In the build up, we teased fans with the clue Where better to enjoy a kebab whilst waiting for your cab home than in the shadows of this landmark - what's left of it, at least - giving you some idea where our #bluecrimbo team would be.
Plenty of you worked it out and fans have been uploading their pictures to Facebook and Twitter since the lights were switched on at 8pm.
Every day between now and Sunday 23 December, we will be adding a new building to a hitlist which already includes both the city's cathedrals and the Echo Arena.
The Blue makeovers will mostly take place between the hours of 4-8pm - although not in every case - and clues will be posted each day on evertonfc.com, Twitter and Facebook.
It's all part of our wider campaign to turn our virtual map of the city entirely Blue.
Each day, we're giving away great prizes - all you need to do is something to help us succeed in our Christmas challenge. Find out more here.
One way to win is to take a photo of whichever building we target on Sunday. We've got one in mind, so here's the clue:
Fred would jump right in to help you map out this one.
So get spreading the word and follow the clues for your chance to win a raft of prizes from match tickets and signed merchandise to computer games and DVDs.

I am so pissed at my teacher. First of all he sent us an email last night at 10pm about what was due today. I did what he asked and then we show up to class for 9am this morning. He sends us an email at 9:15am this morning saying this.
"Good Morning Peoples,
Extenuating circumstances prevent me from conducting class today. Mark will be arriving near 11am today with Rebecca Ross the Director of Design and Interaction, at Central Saint Martins. Please do the following:
1. Post your Director Report, movie choices and thumbnails to Tumblr and email the link to me.
2. Count off and into groups of 4 or so and share your Director and thumbnails with each other. You might show clips of films to help others understand the work of your assigned director.
3. Make sure your designs for the class portfolio book are in great shape. This should be printed in color and wrap around a blank book block. Please include a intro, toc and separator pages. We are so very much beyond explaining things that are not in the design.
4. If you have any extra time, you should work on the thumbnails more. The ones I have seen are a good start but you are making enough and with sufficient variation.
You have 2 hours or so. Make it happen.
I will see you all on Wednesday."
I want to punch him. Punch. Him.

Ken Wark Interview online.
The Institute For The Future of The Book came to us with the suggestion that we interview McKenzie Wark, whose "GAM3R 7H30RY" is presented on futureofthebook.org as a networked book. This means that readers take part in a discussion on the site, literally in the columns of the book pages online. We thought this was a great idea and Damian took some time to delve into the book before we shot the segment now presented on the futureofthebook site:
An Interview with McKenzie Wark.
This is the full 14 minute version and we really could've gone longer. Ken's ideas about gamespace really resonated as we strolled around inside Halo. A shortened version will be part of the upcoming Episode 4.
Thanks to Ken Wark, Ben Vershbow and Bob Stein.

AHL Game Night 10/14: Falcons at N. AdmiralsSubmitted by pete on October 14, 2006 - 21:22
Ouch. SPR-1 NOR-8 Sean Burke allowed 5 goals on 14 shots for the loss before being lifted for [url=karri-ramo]Karri Ramo[/url] who allowed 3 on 17. Jared Aulin scored the lone Falcons goal. [url=marek-kvapil]Marek Kvapil[/url] was a scratch for Springfield. It should also be noted Ramo got multiple penalties for leaving the crease and initiating a fight with Admirals goaltender Sebastien Caron in a bloody and fight marred third period.

Saturday's Superleague ScoresSubmitted by pete on October 14, 2006 - 18:19
[url=vasily-koshechkin]Vasily Koshechkin[/url] got the day off as Mike Fountain backstopped Togliatti to a 2-1 win over Chekhov. So far this season, Koshechkin has gotten the benefit of Fountain's experience but still retained the lion's share of Lada's starts, so it's seemingly been a win-win situation thus far. [url=evgeny-artyukhin]Evgeny Artyukhin[/url] was scoreless in Yaroslavl's 5-2 win over SKA. He did, however, manage to run his penalty minute total to 70 in 14 games. Anton But was scoreless for St. Petersburg in the loss. [url=denis-kazionov]Denis Kazionov[/url] was scoreless in Tver's 6-5 loss to Omsk.

|Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of memantine (Namenda®) for cognitive and behavioral impairment in adults ages 18-45 years with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This is an exploratory, 12-week, pilot study, seeking to determine whether Namenda is efficacious and well tolerated in the treatment of adults with ASD. The study results will be used to generate hypotheses for a larger randomized controlled clinical trial with explicit hypotheses and sufficient statistical power.

|Intervention ICMJE
|Drug: Memantine
We plan for 20 adults with ASD to sign consent to expose 10 subjects to the study medication. Memantine (Namenda®) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003 and by the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products in 2002 for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. Evidence from available treatment trials of memantine in ASD and non-ASD populations of youth and adults strongly suggest that memantine could be an effective agent for the treatment of adults with ASD.
During the 12 weeks of study duration, subjects will be evaluated at weekly intervals for the first 4 weeks and thereafter every 3 weeks. Memantine will be administered in divided dose twice a day in the morning and evening. Titration of study medication will be guided by a forced titration schedule with an option for slower titration or holding at lower dose per clinician judgment. Safety, effectiveness, response and side effects will be evaluated.

Objectives The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1/2, HIV-1, hepatitis B virus (HBV), Trypanosoma cruzi, Treponema pallidum and Toxoplasma gondii infections and to identify the subtypes/subgroups of HTLV-1/2 among pregnant women (PW) from non-endemic provinces of Argentina.
Methods Methods A total of 2403 samples were screened for HTLV-1/2 and confirmed by western blot and PCR. The long terminal repeat (LTR) of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 were amplified. Phylogenetic analysis was performed by Neighbour Joining by using molecular evolutionary genetics analysis (MEGA) 4.0.
Results Among a total of 2403 PW studied, 6 (0.25%) tested positive for HTLV-1/2 (3 HTLV-1 (0.12%) and 3 HTLV-2 (0.12%)). The total prevalence when distributed by province was 0.3% (3/804) for Buenos Aires (BA), 0.4% (1/241) for BA surroundings, 0.1% (1/707) for Neuquen and 1.0% (1/95) for Ushuaia. In San Juan, no PW were HTLV-1/2 positive. The prevalence was similar when compared with rates among blood donors of the same areas and years. The phylogenetic analysis classified one sequence as HTLV-1 aA and one as HTLV-2b. The prevalence of HIV-1, HBV, T cruzi, T pallidum and T gondii was 0.6%, 0.2%, 1.4%, 1.2% and 20.9%, respectively. One case of HTLV-1/HIV-1 and one of HTLV-2/HIV-1 co-infection were detected.
Conclusions HTLV-1/2, which have been associated with different diseases, are circulating among PW of Argentina, even in non-endemic areas. Therefore, testing should be recommended in women who have risk factors for these infections given that the majority of HTLV-1/2 mother to child transmission can be prevented by the avoidance of breast feeding.
Several human T cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLVs) have been described and are designated HTLV-1 to HTLV-4.1 HTLV-1 is associated with adult T cell leukaemia and HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis.
HTLV-2 causes no specific disease but has been associated with higher mortality, infections and neurological disorders.2 HTLV-1/2 infection is endemic in well-defined geographic regions, and studies conducted in pregnant women (PW) reported prevalence in agreement with the different endemic regions.3 HTLV-1/2 transmission occurs through sexual, parenteral and vertical route, mainly through breast feeding.
HTLV-1 is classified in seven subtypes (a–g), being the Cosmopolitan (a) subtype disseminated worldwide and composed of five subgroups (A–E). For HTLV-2, three subtypes have been described (a, b and d).1
In Argentina, similar to other South American countries, HTLV-1/2 infection is characterised by extreme ethnic/geographic restriction with HTLV-1 being naturally endemic among Amerindians in the Northwest and HTLV-2 in those of the North.4 The rest of the country is considered as non-endemic based on the prevalence (0.03%–0.09%) reported among blood donors (BD).4 HTLV-1 Transcontinental subgroup A and HTLV-2 (a and b) have been detected among aborigines and urban populations of Buenos Aires (BA) city.5 ,6
The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of HTLV-1/2, HIV-1, Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Trypanosoma cruzi, Treponema pallidum and Toxoplasma gondii and to identify the circulating subtypes/subgroups of HTLV-1/2 among PW from non-endemic areas of Argentina.
Materials and methods
Study population
This study took place in Argentina between 2005 and 2009. All PW older than 18 years of age who consecutively attended the antenatal clinic in five public hospitals were asked to participate in the study. The recruitment was carried out at Maternidad Sardá (BA city: Central region), Hospital Fiorito (BA surroundings: Central region), Hospital Rawson (San Juan: West region), Hospital Castro Rendón (Neuquén: Patagonia region) and Hospital Campos (Tierra del Fuego: Southern region). A total of 2403 PW who provided written informed consent were eligible for the study. Of them, 1045 PW were from BA, 556 PW from San Juan, 707 PW from Neuquen and 95 PW from Tierra del Fuego. Socio-demographic data were collected using a standardised questionnaire which was administrated during a confidential face to face interview. All participants received precounselling and postcounselling, and were referred to appropriate medical and social services when necessary. All the results were given within 20 days of blood drawing or, if needed, prior to delivery. All HIV-1 and HTLV-1/2 positive PW were advised not to breast feed. Institutional review board and scientific ethical committees at the University of Buenos Aires and at each public hospital approved the study protocols.
Diagnosis of HTLV-1/2
HTLV-1/2 antibodies were evaluated by ELISA (Platelia HTLV-I New, BioRad, France). All reactive samples were confirmed by western blot (HTLV Blot 2.4, Genelabs Diagnostics, Singapore) and nested-PCR was performed when necessary as described by Tuke et al.7 DNA was extracted using QIAamp DNA extraction kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany).
Diagnosis of HIV-1, HBV, T cruzi, T pallidum and T gondii
Screening for HIV-1, T gondii and HBV surface antigen and/or anticore antibodies (anti-HBc) antibodies was analysed by commercial ELISA. HIV-1 reactive samples were confirmed by western blot assay (Novapath HIV-1 Immunoblot, BioRad, France). For Chagas, HAI and ELISAs were performed. T pallidum infection was screened by venereal disease research laboratory test and confirmed by Treponema Pallidum haemagglutination and by indirect immunofluorescence test.
Statistical analysis
χ2 Test and Fisher's exact test were used to compare proportions. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA V.12 (StataCorp. 2011. Stata Statistical Software: Release 12, StataCorp LP, Texas, USA).
Phylogenetic analysis
The 3' long terminal repeat region for HTLV-1 and 2 was amplified by a hemi-nested-PCR as previously described.8 ,9 Direct sequencing reactions were done by using an ABI Prism Big Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction V.3.0 mixture (Applied Biosystems). Sequences were generated on an ABI Prism 3100 Genetic Analyser and aligned with Clustal W (BioEdit 126.96.36.199 sequence alignment editor). The phylogenetic analysis was performed by Neighbour Joining by using MEGA 4.0. The substitution model was chosen using MODELTEST 3.0. The tree topology was visualised with TreeView (http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview.html). Three of the sequences belonging to PW (PW1, PW2, PWAR4) were previously reported by our group.5 ,6 All sequences used are named on the online supplementary web appendix.
The overall prevalence of HTLV-1/2 was 0.25% (6/2403, 95% CI 0.029 to 0.470) being 0.12% (3/2403, 95% CI 0.026 to 0.364) for HTLV-1 and 0.12% (3/2403, 95% CI 0.026 to 0.364) for HTLV-2, similar when compared with BD of the same regions and years. The prevalence by province was 0.3% (3/804, 95% CI 0.077 to 1.087) for BA, 0.4% (1/241, 95% CI 0.011 to 2.290) for BA surroundings, 0.1% (1/707, 95% CI 0.004 to 0.786) for Neuquen and 1.0% (1/95, 95% CI 0.027 to 5.726) for Ushuaia. In San Juan, no PW were HTLV-1/2 positive. Demographic characteristics and risk factors for HTLV-1/2 infected PW are shown in table 1. The prevalence for HIV-1, HBV, T cruzi, T pallidum and T gondii was 0.6% (95% CI 0.258 to 0.908), 0.2%, (95%: CI 0.068 to 0.638) 1.4% (95% CI 0.922 to 1.908), 1.2% (95% CI 0.802 to 1.780) and 20.9% (95% CI 19.244 to 22.537), respectively. One case of HTLV-1/HIV-1 and one HTLV-1/HIV-2 co-infection were detected. The HTLV-1 sequence (PW3) was classified within the Cosmopolitan subtype Transcontinental subgroup (aA) and the HTLV-2 sequences (PWAR5 and PWAR6) within HTLV-2b (data not shown).
This study demonstrated that HTLV-1/2 are circulating among PW of different non-endemic areas of Argentina with a similar prevalence to that of BD of the same regions and years.10 ,11 The only report on HTLV-1/2 in PW in Argentina was reported in Cordoba in 2007, showing a prevalence 10 times higher than in BD.12 The difference with our study could be due to the number of PW in each province or due to the different epidemiological characteristics of the population attending the antenatal clinics in that province.
The associated risk factors for HTLV-1/2 infection were being born or having a sexual partner born in endemic areas and having an HTLV-1/2 positive or at risk sexual partner. Concerning phylogeny, an HTLV-1a (PW3) clustered with references belonging to the big Latin American cluster, which is the major reported subtype in different populations of Argentina. On the other hand, two HTLV-2b sequences (PW5 and PW6) clustered with references from Argentine urban populations and Amerindians.5 These data show that these subtypes/subgroups could have been introduced in the studied areas due to a high internal migration rate from endemic areas, as well as due to an increasing rate of immigration from HTLV-1/2 endemic countries to Argentina.
In summary, HTLV-1/2 is nowadays circulating among PW countrywide. It is known that vertically acquired HTLV-1 leads to adult T cell leukaemia or HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis in 1%–5% of children born to HTLV-1 positive mothers. On the other hand, HTLV-2 has been associated with an increased number of other infections and neurological disorders.2 Moreover, HTLV-1 and 2 positive individuals will not be eligible as blood and organ donors.
Although there are known endemic areas for both viruses in our country, public antenatal care in Argentina does not include HTLV-1/2 detection. Regarding these data, HTLV-1/2 testing should be considered in women who have risk factors for these infections, even in non-endemic areas, given that the majority of mother-to-child transmission can be prevented by the avoidance of breast feeding.
Key messages
Human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1 and 2 are circulating among pregnant women of Argentina in the presence or not of co-infection with other pathogens.
Cosmopolitan aA of HTLV-1 and subtype b of HTLV have been detected consistent with Argentinean molecular epidemiology.
Antenatal testing in women who have risk factors would prevent HTLV-1/2 vertical transmission.
A special thanks to Constanza Espada who provided very good suggestions with the phylogeny analysis.

In an editorial board meeting with The Washington Examiner today, Senator Jim DeMint said that the GOP primary process has become counterproductive. He also delivered cautious praise for the frontrunner, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
When asked by the Washington Examiner's Michael Barone if he would join Sen. Marco Rubio and endorse Mitt Romney today, DeMint declined.
"I've said that I'm not going to question his conservative credentials," Demint said. "I'm not going to endorse, I just want to stop the beating." The campaign, he said, had stopped being productive for the GOP. "If they were selling their vision for America, it's fine to keep it going, but now it's kind of deteriorated into some name calling, and we need to get on to focusing on Obama."
DeMint said he believed Romney had developed a "pragmatic conservatism," which was reaffirmed during a meeting with him last week.
"I think that Romney is instinctively not necessarily a political conservative, he's instinctively a problem solver." DeMint said comparing Romney's journey to conservatism with that of Ronald Reagan.
"When you have a conversation like I did with Romney last week, you realize the last four years have been very clarifying," DeMint said, "His well developed second language now I think is conservative thought, limited government, a pragmatic conservative in the sense that he understands our problem with the debt, the potential problem with our monetary system and I think that he's got a good grasp on the problems, so from a pragmatic standpoint he knows that we have to eliminate some agencies and make some pretty serious changes."
DeMint added that it would not be accurate to say he has merely "resigned" to Romney as the nominee.
"I'm going to feel good if its Romney or Santorum or whatever, I think you're going to see that Obama in the White House is a great unifying factor," he said. "I think you could pull somebody off the street and nominate him and you're going to see some excitement."

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221385Well, that's the million dollar question, isn't it? Everyone wants celebrities to wear their products and, better yet, endorse them. You can approach an artist's stylist directly because he or she will be dressing that celeb for events that are photographed. Another idea is to provide your product as a giveaway for a high-level charity event (perhaps with a related message on the clothing) and have their celebrity spokesperson wear it in the publicity.

A face plant is never fun, unless of course you can replay the experience over and over again. Go Pro's line of HD rugged cameras have long been the go to choice for extreme athletes, but those are bulky and easy to lose if you take a serious dinger.
For those of you hitting the slopes this winner, and with a penchant for tom foolery, you'll surely want the iON HD Camera Goggles from Zeal Optics. If you recall, these are the same guys that partnered with Recon Instruments to produce the Transcend GPS Ski Goggles. Unfortunately, this version won't help you get unlost, but it will most certainly extend your memories beyond the slopes.
Built-in to the Ion HD Goggles is a camera capable of capturing full HD video and 8-megapixel photos via a 170-degree lens. Inside the Goggles is a digital viewfinder so you can see your handy work and make sure you're framing your stunt correctly. The camera itself features auto light adjustment and infinity focus so that the slopes are always in view. To stop and start the action, amongst other controls, are a set of glove friendly buttons found on the side of the Zeal Optics HD Camera Goggles. Finally, a fully rechargeable battery should provide about 3 hours of recordings, though we're not sure on the storage capacity, though we assume its expandable via microSD card slot.
The Googles themselves are no slouch either. They include impact resistant frames, 100% UV protection, an anti-fog infused lens process, Optimum lenses, and dual strap adjustments.
You can purchase the Zeal Optics Ion HD Camera Goggles direct for $399.

Donald L. Brunswick, 85, of Egypt, died at 12:45 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 16, 2014, at Wilson Memorial Hospital.
He was born on June 25, 1928, in Chickasaw, to the late Ferdinand and Francis (Heitbrink) Brunswick.
"Put on a hat!" St. Marys boys basketball coach Dan Hegemier bellowed out at Nathan Wilker as the junior exited Memorial High School after a 67-59 win against the defending Division III state champ Ottawa-Glandorf.
It was the most forceful instruction Hegemier had to give out Friday night. As the St. Marys boys basketball team gains confidence, Hegemier can do less steering and let his athletes do their thing on the court.
The Roughriders improvised their way to a fourth straight win by answering every O-G rally with one of their own.

BRADLEY COOPER and ZOE SALDANA have reportedly split again, according to recent Hollywood celebrity gossip.
It was recently rumored that the sexy couple, who got back together a few months ago after initially splitting up in May 2012, had gotten engaged over the holidays. But as it turns out, they were actually heading for another breakup rather than the altar.
A source tells Page Six:
"Zoe had planned to spend the holidays with Bradley and his family in Europe. They all were going to Paris, but things didn't work out between them. Zoe spent New Year's Eve with friends in Miami."
The "Avatar" actress reportedly celebrated New Year's Eve by having dinner with family and friends at Catch Miami in South Beach and dancing the night away at the James Royal Palm on Collins Avenue.
And she reportedly did not seem bothered about her recent breakup. An eyewitness says:
"If Zoe was upset over the split with Bradley, she didn't show it."
Think they'll get back together?
