A NATIONALLY rare moth which has never before been spotted in Yorkshire has appeared in an unlikely location.
The White-spotted Black is so rare it hasn't been seen in Britain since 2011.
But now experts have discovered it in the centre of York, at the Museum Gardens.
It was found as part of a three year study by students at Pennsylvania University working on placement at Shandy Hall in Coxwold, North Yorkshire. Their study includes comparing the populations of moths in rural North Yorkshire to the city centre of York.
Patrick Wildgust, curator of Shandy Hall, said: "It has been fantastic to find such a rare moth right in the city centre of York. The White-spotted Black is extremely scarce nationally – it appeared in Bedfordshire in 2011 but hasn't appeared since.
"To say our project has found a new species for Yorkshire has a very satisfying ring to it and we are really grateful for the hard work of our student Bowen Chang who has spent many evenings trapping and releasing moths as part of the study. This moth might be just a speck, but it is a considerable one."
The micro moth has a wing span of between 9mm and 12mm and was reported in 1828 as being scarce. Experts had to be called in to confirm it was the species in question.
Stuart Ogilvy, assistant curator of natural sciences at York Museums Trust, said: "We are made up to find a species living in our midst which has not been recorded in Yorkshire before.
"The gardens team have been working hard to make the space as friendly to wildlife as possible and it is great to welcome in experts to help us to catalogue the increasing number of creatures which call the gardens home."
It is hoped the project will shed light on why moth numbers are declining nationally.

Liga BBVA | REAL MADRID
Özil singled out by Mourinho, again
The German international has been substituted six times already this season, three of those coming at half time (including the defeats to Sevilla and Betis). He has also started on the bench three times in the Champions League.
José Mourinho took off Mesut Özil at half time in the defeat to Betis. Once again, it was made clear that Portuguese coach was unhappy with Özil's work rate and performance, which lacked intensity and concentration. More often than not, the Real Madrid playmaker is singled out when times are tough; Özil has started in the bench in three out five of Madrid's group games - against Manchester City and the second game against Ajax - despite scoring decisive goals like the one in the Bernabéu against Borussia Dortmund.
While in La Liga, Özil has been taken off six times, three of those at half time. Mourinho replaced the German playmaker at half time against Sevilla and against Deportivo La Coruña. However, in the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla) and Villamarín (Betis) Madrid were unable to claw their way back without Özil, quite possibly their most creative player.

Leyenda del Milagro is one of a select cadre of premium distillers that produce tequila relying solely on traditional techniques. The slow, labor-intensive process greatly affects the quality and flavor of the finished spirit. It's likely most evident in the Milagro 100% Pure Blue Agave Silver Tequila.
Super-premium Milagro is made in the Highlands of Jalisco at Tequilera Cielito Lindo. The tequila is distilled entirely from estate grown agaves that are slow roasted in brick ovens for 36-hours. The fermented agave juice—mosto—is then triple-distilled in small batches, which yields a characteristically clean, light bodied tequila. All of the Milagro expressions are bottled at 80 proof.
Aficionados who appreciate fine, well-crafted blanco tequila will take an instant liking to the Milagro Silver. It has pristine clarity and a slightly oily body. The highly aromatic spirit is imbued with the wafting fragrance of citrus, dried herbs and ginger. The nose alone makes the experience well worth it. The tequila quickly fills the mouth with waves of dry, herbaceous flavor, a savory mix of brine, cereal grain, red grapes and black pepper. The finish is respectably long with prominent pepper notes.
Milagro Reposado is barrel-aged for no less than 6-months, during which it acquires a pale golden hue, a velvety textured, medium-weight body and the wafting aromas of brine, caramel and chocolate. The palate sports the additional flavors of cinnamon and dried fruit. The medium-length finish is spicy and slightly sweet.
The Milagro Añejo is a small batch, single-barrel aged in oak barrels for 18 months. It has a golden hue, a lushly textured body and a peppery, briny and pleasantly sweet nose. The palate is a lavish offering of tropical fruit, black pepper, sliced oranges and toffee, all of which linger for a splendid finish.
The entire Milagro family of tequilas is appropriately named, and in this day of autoclaves and flavor enhancers, the "Miracle" is the real deal.

All games 7:30 p.m. today, unless noted
St. Bonaventure (7-3) at Notre Dame (7-3)
Two of the Southland's elite private-school programs meet for the first time in what figures to be a compelling Pac-5 playoff opener featuring big-time playmakers for both sides.
Rarely an underdog in the first round of the playoffs, St. Bonaventure has QB Ricky Town, a 6-foot-4 junior who is a five-star recruit and considered one of the top prospects in his class. The Alabama commit has an exceptionally strong arm and quick feet.
The Seraphs also have TE Bryce Dixon, who has 17 scholarship offers and has taken a visit to Oregon.
Guided by 34-year coach Kevin Rooney, Notre Dame is equally capable running or passing, and the Knights have a strong defense, including a relentless pass rush.
Multi-purpose back Koa Farmer has committed to Cal over Utah, Washington and others, including Ivy League schools. He plays several positions, including Wildcat QB, but makes his biggest impact on defense. Notre Dame's other key players are QB Grant Kraemer, RB Chris Colarossi, WR/DB Daniel Khan, TE/DL Cameron Page, LS Justin Goossen-Brown, OL/DL Deion Dayao and PK Lucas Alfonso.
The Knights have lost to Serra, Alemany and Chaminade, all of whom are top-four seeds in their respective divisions.
Mater Dei (8-2) at Oaks Christian (8-2)
Two private schools predominantly known for athletics go head to head, and a capacity crowd is expected in Westlake Village for this televised Pac-5 opener.
Oaks Christian lives and dies with QB Brandon Dawkins, who is riding a string of five consecutive 300-yard performances. The Arizona-bound, three-year standout has passed for 3,124 yards and 38 TDs, 24 over the past five games. He has 90 career TD passes.
Chris Davis has 83 catches for 1,541 yards and 20 TDs. Some of the other key players are OL Reno Rosene, TE Zack Bornstein, LB Andre Chevalier and DB Malik Cyphers.
Crespi (4-6) at Mission Viejo (10-0)
Mission Viejo, having lost just eight games over the past five seasons, is the favorite in the Pac-5 showdown, but Crespi has come on strong after a slow adjustment period under new coach Troy Thomas.
The visiting Celts are getting healthy after a series of injuries — though standout DB Marvin Tell remains sidelined — and there is a buzz on campus after Crespi qualified for the playoffs for only the second time since 2007.
Conor McMahan has passed for 1,433 yards and 8 TDs. Backup Wes Massett, a Westlake transfer, could see some action after passing 123 yards Friday in a loss at Alemany. The standouts on defense include LBs D.J. Beavers and Michael Mason and DL Vaimoe Sekona.
Hart (8-2) at Paso Robles (7-3), 7 p.m.
Here is a chance to see what Hart is really made of. With nearly every key starter back from last year's 8-4 team, the Indians were ranked No. 1 in the Northern Division all season until losing the last two games.
The fallout has resulted in a 380-mile roundtrip up the Central Coast instead of a home game, and temperatures are expected to dip into the lower 40s.
Brady White set a Hart single-game record Friday with 41 completions in a loss at Canyon. He has thrown for 3,437 yards and 28 TDs, including four performances of more than 400 yards.
What Hart needs is more consistency on defense. Three times the Indians have surrendered 45 points or more.
Paso Robles' Nathaniel Harris has rushed for 1,405 yards with 13 TDs. Bryce Pasky has nine FGs.
Redondo (6-4) at Valencia (8-2), 7 p.m.
Valencia, the No. 2 seed in the Northern Division, has a lot of momentum after winning its fifth consecutive Foothill League title, and the Vikings are multi-dimensional after installing a power-pitch offense two weeks ago to complement their usual spread passing attack.
Jake Wallace is having a huge season. The Valencia QB has passed for 2,811 yards and 26 TDs, and he has also scored four TDs. He has three standout WRs with Malik Townsend (52 catches, six TDs), Jay Jay Wilson (41 catches, 8 TDs) and Nick Jones (36 catches, 11 TDs).
Redondo is seeking its first playoff win since 2009.
Morningside (6-4) at Chaminade (8-2), 7 p.m.
Chaminade, averaging 47 points per game, has been tearing it up since losing a Mission League game last month at Serra, and the Eagles — the No. 2 seed in the Western Division — should have an easy time in the first of what figures to be a series of tuneups in preparation for a Serra rematch.
Chaminade QB Brad Kaaya (2,664 yards, 19 TDs) guides an offense that averages more than 500 yards. Donovan Lee has rushed for 1,366 yards with 22 catches for 443 yards and a total of 29 TDs. LB Rick Gamboa is a standout on defense, and Ben Kreitenberg is a top PK.
South East (9-1) at Birmingham (7-3), 7 p.m.
South East has an impressive record, but none of the first six games were against programs that eventually finished better than .500, so Birmingham is the favorite based on facing much stronger competition in the City Section Division I opener.
The host Patriots, led by RB Sterling Salguero (1,104 yards, 16 TDs), are the only City program from the San Fernando Valley to be awarded a Division I first-round home game. Edward Hernandez has eight FGs in addition to demonstrating a strong leg on kickoffs.

Ishizaki Y, Yoshimoto J, Miwa K, Sugo H, Kawasaki S. Safety of Prolonged Intermittent Pringle Maneuver During Hepatic Resection. Arch Surg. 2006;141(7):649–653. doi:10.1001/archsurg.141.7.649
© 2017
It has recently been demonstrated that the liver parenchyma is more tolerant to intermittent pedicular clamping than to continuous pedicular clamping. However, the possibility of increased blood loss during intermittent reperfusion is a major concern.
We retrospectively selected 34 cases in which the cumulative clamping time was 90 minutes or longer during hepatectomy and the intermittent Pringle maneuver was applied rather than continuous inflow occlusion.
Resections were performed for metastatic carcinoma in 19 patients, hepatocellular carcinoma in 7 patients, hilar bile duct carcinoma in 3 patients, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in 1 patient, combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma in 1 patient, undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma in 1 patient, carcinoid tumor in 1 patient, and benign mucinous cystic tumor in 1 patient. Patients were categorized on the basis of the cumulative clamping time, with 25 patients in group 1 (≤120 minutes) and 9 patients in group 2 (>120 minutes). In 2 patients in group 2, the cumulative clamping time exceeded 240 minutes. Twenty-eight patients had histologically normal underlying liver parenchyma; 6 patients had chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis.
No red blood cell transfusions were required in group 1; blood transfusions were needed for only 3 patients in group 2. There was no postoperative mortality or major complications. The rate of minor postoperative complications was 36% (9 patients) in group 1 and 22% (2 patients) in group 2.
Prolonged intermittent pedicular clamping is a useful maneuver in hepatectomy when resection is difficult or prolonged or when the liver parenchyma is abnormal. Such clamping can be used for cumulative periods exceeding 120 minutes without major intraoperative blood loss or complications.
Although most liver resections are performed with an inflow occlusion time of less than 90 minutes, longer periods of hepatic ischemia have sometimes been required to accomplish complicated and extensive hepatectomies for malignant neoplasms, such as multiple resections, caudate lobectomy, or hepatectomies with vascular reconstruction. The intermittent Pringle maneuver (IPM) has been applied to avoid ischemic injury induced by prolonged inflow occlusion.1,2 However, many Western surgeons are still reluctant to use intermittent pedicular clamping because of the associated risk of increased blood loss during the reperfusion period.3,4 A clinical controlled trial demonstrated that the liver parenchyma is more tolerant to intermittent pedicular clamping than to continuous pedicular clamping.5 In these studies1,2,5 of intermittent clamping, a total occlusion time of less than 90 minutes was used, and the safe upper time limit for total occlusion was not defined. The present study was performed to evaluate the course of patients who underwent hepatectomy with a cumulative intermittent inflow occlusion time of 90 minutes or longer to determine the benefits of such clamping and the tolerance of the liver parenchyma to clamping.
Between October 1, 2002, and December 30, 2004, 157 patients underwent hepatic resection using the IPM. We retrospectively selected 34 patients in whom the cumulative clamping time was 90 minutes or longer. There were 27 men and 7 women, with a mean age of 61.1 years (age range, 21-84 years). In the remaining 123 patients, the cumulative ischemic time was less than 90 minutes.
Resections were performed for malignant hepatic tumors in 33 patients and for a benign mucinous cystic tumor in 1 patient. The malignant tumors included 19 metastatic carcinomas, 7 hepatocellular carcinomas, 3 hilar bile duct carcinomas, 1 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, 1 combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma, 1 undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma, and 1 carcinoid tumor.
The liver parenchyma was abnormal in 6 of 34 patients because of chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis associated with hepatitis B or C viral infection. The 3 patients with hilar bile duct carcinoma had obstructive jaundice and underwent biliary drainage before liver resection. Preoperative portal vein embolization was carried out in 2 patients whose ratio of the nontumorous parenchymal volume of the resected liver to that of the whole liver exceeded 60%. Major resections (≥1 sector) were performed in 27 patients (79.4%), multiple limited resections in 4 patients (11.8%), and single segmentectomy in 3 patients (8.8%) (Table 1). Twelve patients with small, bilateral, and multiple hepatic tumors required major hepatic resection with additional limited resection of the remnant liver.
Blood tests were performed before surgery in all patients and included complete blood cell count, coagulation profile with prothrombin time, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes, and routine liver biochemical tests, including the serum levels of total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
J-shaped and inverted T-shaped incisions were used. The operative field was kept open using Kent retractors (Takasago Co Ltd, Tokyo) throughout the operation. In some cases, the J-shaped incision was extended to the ninth intercostal space. Under intraoperative ultrasonographic guidance, the area to be resected was defined, the transection line was monitored, and the tumor was removed.
The IPM was applied at the time of liver transection and consisted of cross-clamping the hepatoduodenal ligament using a Satinsky clamp (and the aberrant left hepatic artery, if present) for 15 minutes and releasing the clamp for 5 minutes until the liver resection was completed. Cooling of the liver with topical refrigeration or hypothermic perfusion was not used. Liver transection was performed in all patients using the traditional clamp crushing method. A small amount of the hepatic parenchyma was divided by penetration using a Péan forceps. The remaining side of the parenchyma was ligated and divided using scissors; any bleeding or bile leakage points were fine sutured.
Postoperative variables of hepatocyte damage and recovery, including serum AST, ALT, and total bilirubin levels, were measured every day during the first week after the operation and twice during the second week. All accumulated abdominal fluids were drained percutaneously and sent for bacterial culture; the serum total bilirubin level was monitored to detect any biliary leakage. We diagnosed biliary leakage when the drainage fluid was found to contain a serum total bilirubin concentration of more than 3 times the upper normal limit in serum after surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was defined as the period between surgery and discharge.
The overall mean ± SD duration of cumulative clamping in the 34 study subjects was 120 ± 48 minutes (range, 90-325 minutes). These 34 patients were divided into 2 groups according to the cumulative period of occlusion. Patients in group 1 (n = 25) underwent inflow occlusion for 90 to 120 minutes (mean ± SD cumulative clamping time, 99.4 ± 8.4 minutes). Patients in group 2 (n = 9) underwent inflow occlusion for longer than 120 minutes (mean ± SD cumulative clamping time, 176.1 ± 68.0 minutes).
The 2 groups were compared using the bilateral t test for quantitative variables and the χ2 test or Fisher exact test for qualitative variables. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD, and differences at P<.05 were considered statistically significant. Calculations were made using StatView computer software (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).
Groups 1 and 2 were matched for age, sex, preoperative liver function test data, status of underlying liver disease, and number of viral hepatitis infections (Table 2). The 2 patients who underwent extended right lobectomy after preoperative portal vein embolization were fitted into group 1. In 2 patients, the cumulative clamping time exceeded 240 minutes. In the patient with the longest cumulative period of hepatic ischemia (325 minutes), the IPM was repeated 19 times to accomplish complete resection of a huge carcinoid tumor situated close to the hepatic veins and inferior vena cava (Figure). The intraoperative blood loss was 3820 mL during left trisegmentectomy, and the intraoperative blood transfusion volume was 1390 mL. The other patient, who had 11 bilobar hepatic metastatic tumors, underwent left hepatectomy and 8 limited resections. The IPM was repeated 16 times to accomplish complete resection of the multiple tumors, and the cumulative period of hepatic ischemia was 250 minutes. The intraoperative blood loss was 770 mL, and no blood transfusion was given. No obvious visceral congestion was recognized during the period of clamping in either of the patients. The postoperative course of both patients was uneventful.
Overall, the mean ± SD intraoperative blood loss was 1022 ± 687 mL (range, 175-3820 mL). The mean ± SD intraoperative blood loss in group 1 (883 ± 461 mL) was significantly lower than that in group 2 (1409 ± 1039 mL). We used the hematocrit as an indicator of transfusion requirements and carried out transfusion when the hematocrit was lower than about 25%. Red blood cell transfusion was necessary in only 3 patients (33.3%) in group 2. No patient in group 1 required red blood cell transfusion. No patient required postoperative red blood cell transfusions in either group. The mean ± SD duration of surgery in group 1 (179 ± 49 minutes) was significantly shorter than that in group 2 (665 ± 237 minutes). Group 2 included 3 patients with hilar bile duct carcinoma who underwent extended lobectomy. These patients required concomitant biliary reconstruction. In the 123 patients in the original cohort with a cumulative clamping time of less than 90 minutes, the mean ± SD blood loss during surgery was 450 ± 336 mL, and 3 (2.4%) of these patients had blood transfusion. Although 4 patients in group 1 and 2 patients in group 2 had chronic liver disease associated with viral hepatitis (their mean ± SD indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes was significantly higher than that in the 28 patients with normal liver; 16.5% ± 2.5% vs 9.9% ± 4.8%, P = .003), their intraoperative blood loss was not significantly higher than that in the 28 patients with a normal liver (987 ± 560 vs 1030 ± 720 mL, P = .89). Only 1 patient with cirrhosis in group 2 required red blood cell transfusion.
The postoperative maximum levels of AST and ALT in the patients in group 2 were significantly higher than those in the patients in group 1. There was no significant difference in the maximum serum total bilirubin levels between the groups (Table 3). The AST level in group 1 returned to the preoperative value at a mean ± SD of 6.4 ± 2.7 days after the operation, whereas in group 2 it did so at 9.7 ± 7.6 days after the operation (P = .07). The ALT level in group 1 returned to the preoperative value at a mean ± SD of 9.5 ± 3.9 days after surgery, whereas in group 2 it did so at 13.7 ± 4.3 days after the operation (P = .01).
There was no postoperative mortality among the 34 patients who underwent prolonged multiple intermittent portal triad clamping. The overall morbidity was 32% (11 patients). No major complications (including postoperative liver failure) occurred, and no patient required reoperation. The morbidity in group 1 was 36% (9 patients), whereas that in group 2 was 22% (2 patients) (P = .73). There were 17 minor complications in 11 patients, and there were no potentially fatal complications. There were 7 cases of bile leakage, all of which resolved spontaneously within 3 weeks. Five patients developed wound infection that was diagnosed by positive culture of microorganisms from the wound, 2 patients developed right-sided pleural effusion, 1 patient experienced prolonged lymphorrhea, 1 patient had delayed gastric emptying, and 1 patient experienced diarrhea. All complications were cured with conservative treatment. The postoperative hospital stay was similar in both groups. Only 1 of 6 patients with chronic liver disease developed wound infection, which was cured by drainage and administration of antibiotics. The overall 1-year survival rates after hepatectomy were virtually the same in the 2 groups: 89% (23 patients) in group 1 and 88% (8 patients) in group 2.
Uncontrollable massive hemorrhage can lead to deterioration of liver function and increased postoperative mortality and morbidity. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pringle6 demonstrated that inflow vascular occlusion could reduce the degree of liver bleeding. His observation that vascular control could enable major hepatic resection without excessive blood loss predated the progressive decrease in mortality and morbidity associated with liver resection that has occurred during the past 50 years, largely as a result of lower intraoperative blood loss.3,4 Hannoun et al7 reported that continuous vascular occlusion during major hepatic surgery is a useful maneuver that may be performed safely on normal hepatic parenchyma for up to 90 minutes. Kim et al8 demonstrated that prolonged continuous hepatic inflow occlusion could be used during hepatectomy for up to 75 minutes without serious complications in selected patients with active chronic liver disease. Despite the widespread use of continuous vascular clamping during major hepatic resection, concern arose that ischemia followed by reperfusion associated with vascular clamping could cause injury to the liver.9
To improve hepatic parenchymal tolerance to ischemia, intermittent inflow occlusion has gained wide popularity, particularly in Asia.1 Various protocols have been recommended using periods of inflow occlusion for 10 to 30 minutes followed by 5 to 15 minutes of reperfusion. Elias et al10 demonstrated that the IPM results in less blood loss and better preservation of liver function and permits a total ischemia time of up to 120 minutes. A randomized clinical study of patients undergoing liver resection by Belghiti et al5 showed that intermittent clamping using multiple cycles of 15 minutes of ischemia and 5 minutes of reperfusion was associated with decreased injury compared with similar periods of continuous inflow occlusion. The previously reported maximum limit of normothermic cumulative hepatic ischemia using intermittent clamping was 322 minutes.11 Our clinical data show that the safe upper limit of cumulative hepatic ischemia in normal liver can be extended to 325 minutes without major complications.
On the other hand, there is always a risk of ischemic damage to hepatocytes, especially in patients with chronic liver disease, the degree of which is likely to be accentuated by a prolonged period of vascular inflow occlusion.1,3 Within tolerable periods of ischemia, the liver can recover from operative and ischemic injury. Otherwise, deterioration of liver function will ensue. The present study revealed that prolonged intermittent pedicular clamping does not increase operative mortality and morbidity even in patients with chronic liver disease. Selected patients with cirrhotic liver withstood prolonged intermittent ischemia for up to 142 minutes, a period within which any difficult hepatectomy can be safely accomplished without excessive bleeding.
The concept of ischemic preconditioning has been applied recently to hepatic surgery and is based on the biological principle that tissue primed by various types of sublethal stress develops tolerance to subsequent lethal injury.12 Clavian et al13 provided evidence that a preconditioning period of 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of reperfusion confers protection against prolonged ischemic insults in patients undergoing liver resection. Ischemic preconditioning is superior for ischemic periods of up to 75 minutes because it is not associated with blood loss during transection of the liver. Multiple short ischemia-reperfusion cycles were less deleterious than 1 continuous period of the same duration, suggesting that some of the benefit of intermittent pedicle clamping may actually result from the effect of the first clamp-unclamp sequence as a preconditioning treatment. Further studies in this area are encouraged.
Pedicle inflow occlusion induces liver ischemia and subsequent changes in the serum aminotransferase levels.5,14 The present study confirmed that there was significant correlation between the maximum postoperative aminotransferase levels and the duration of ischemia (AST r = 0.681 and ALT r = 0.694, P<.001 for both), but changes in the serum enzyme levels were always transient, with a tendency to return toward the preoperative level within a week. On the other hand, liver ischemia is not the only factor responsible for aminotransferase release. Surgical trauma probably contributes considerably to this, as suggested by the 8-fold increase in the serum aminotransferase levels seen after hepatectomy performed without vascular occlusion.15 The amount of liver resected has been linked to the rise of aminotransferase after hepatectomy.1,15,16 During left or right hepatectomy, the branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein of the resected lobe are divided initially. In cases of limited resection, the glissonian triad that feeds the resected area is ligated first. Aminotransferase release into the systemic circulation from these ischemic tissues continues until the vein draining the resected area is ligated. Therefore, the postoperative serum aminotransferase levels after hepatectomy may reflect not only the degree of ischemic damage to the residual liver but also the aminotransferase released from the resected liver.
Drawbacks associated with intermittent occlusion include increased duration of surgery and blood loss from the transected surface of the liver during the successive periods of reperfusion.5,17,18 The minimization of intraoperative blood loss and the consequent lack of necessity for blood transfusion is a widely accepted goal, because these factors impair patient outcome and prognosis. In the 123 patients in the original cohort with a cumulative clamping time of less than 90 minutes, the blood loss during surgery was low and only 3 patients required blood transfusion; most of the 34 patients with a cumulative ischemic time of 90 minutes or longer also had no significant blood loss and only 3 patients required blood transfusion. Because a transfusion rate of up to 30% is generally considered acceptable,17,18 our findings in the present series of difficult hepatectomies demonstrate that good results can be achieved with intermittent pedicular clamping. To obtain a bloodless operative field, liver dissection was accomplished using Péan forceps.19 Careful millimeter-by-millimeter progression is mandatory, with ligation of every thin vascular or biliary structure. The minimization of backbleeding from accidentally injured hepatic veins is another way of reducing the need for blood transfusion; to achieve this, reducing the inferior vena caval pressure by administering a muscle relaxant and reducing the tidal volume seem to be adequate. Moreover, to prevent liver congestion, the division of the glissonian triad of the partial liver to be resected preceded that of the hepatic vein. The hepatic veins were ligated on the nonresected side and were clipped on the specimen side.
Our retrospective study of these 34 cases in which intermittent portal triad clamping of 90 minutes or longer was used showed no postoperative mortality and acceptable minor complications. This study highlights the usefulness of intermittent pedicular clamping in terms of parenchymal tolerance to ischemia. Intermittent pedicular clamping allows an increase in the cumulative ischemic time and the performance of difficult hepatectomies without increasing the amount of blood loss or significant postoperative liver dysfunction, even in patients with histologically abnormal liver parenchyma.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) – Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill can quickly name the six different Blue Raiders he lost to the NFL, including a defensive lineman drafted by the Seattle Seahawks. The list includes two starting cornerbacks, an offensive guard, a tight end and a quarterback.
That means someone is going to have to step up quickly for the Blue Raiders to have a shot at their third bowl game in four seasons.
Stockstill says a coach hopes he's recruited someone who has matured and developed enough to replace a guy that graduated. He knows everyone will be talking about replacing quarterback Logan Kilgore but he's just as worried about finding a new defensive lineman like Jimmy Staten.
He has 12 starters back from a team that went 8-5 last season.

2015 Sharlin Memorial Award Winners
Emily Erikson's Between Monopoly and Free Trade contributes to one of the biggest debates in the social sciences, the economic rise of the western world, and manages to teach us something new about it. Erikson uses network theory and painstaking archival analysis to show that the East India Company adopted a decentralized pattern that made it remarkably innovative, despite its status as a monopoly. This close study shows how monopolies can respond creatively. One committee member said: "What most impressed me about this book was the methodological rigor of the author…her quantitative analysis of ships voyages…provides an excellent how-to demonstration for young scholars looking to do similar types of work….Her writing skills are superb, and the book is very well structured." Another wrote: "The evidence is wonderful, massive, and handled in intriguing ways." "I learned a great deal I did not know – and am glad to know it…I found myself sharing facts and insights from this book with my students."
Mara Loveman's National Colors: Racial Classification and the State in Latin America asks another of the big questions: why societies categorize their citizens by race. Loveman argues that across the countries of Latin America, racial classification was the result of state-building processes that were tied to the international quest for "racial improvement," as Latin American state builders sought to document that their populations were "whitening" according to the tenets of scientific racism. This project was discredited in the middle of the twentieth century, but at the end of the century multiculturalism introduced a new rationale for racial classification. Loveman shows how closely tied Latin American state building has been to international developments, and the consequences of this for Latin American societies. Committee members praised the book's "substantial research effort" and said "This book was tremendously impressive in terms of the amount of detail and analysis conducted by the author…I imagine it will become the go-to reference for the subject."

What sewing book do you turn to most often?
When I was young and a beginning, passionate sewer, I could always count on my mother to guide me through any sewing stumbling block. She adeptly used every obstacle as a teaching moment. I learned so much from her!
Once I was on my own, married with children, there was no one nearby to turn to. My difficulties were much less frequent, but when they did occur, I had to rely on other sources to find answers or to steer my sewing to the next level. The only general sewing book I owned was "Singer Sewing Book." It had been my mother's, and is quite well-worn, but it has answered all of my niggling questions since my mother's death many years ago.
Of course, once I joined the Threads staff 12 years ago, I gained access to the best resource ever- Threads-(OK, so maybe I'm a little predudiced!), and the wonderful sewing colleagues I work with are equally as wonderful. But, just as I can't seem to part with my issues of Threads despite having the Threads DVD Archive, I also can't part with that copy of the "Singer Sewing Book." I guess it has become the warm fuzzy reference on my book shlef. I rarely use it anymore, but it's a staple in my sewing room nevertheless.
As you might expect, the staff at Threads is hopeful that our most recent special issue, Teach Yourself to Sew, and companion DVD series will become the new sewing go-to resources for anyone who is just starting out or even someone who simply wants to brush up on rusty sewing skills.
What do you most frequently turn to in a desperate sewing moment? Please tell us about your most faithful resources.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday! I turn 46 on the same day, and also am interested in dance type costume patterns, although I tend mostly towards the lycra type ones. I also lost a lot of weight (only in the past two years, in my case) and no longer have to make my own leotards for dance class, but costuming is still a passion for me.
I often buy old patterns on eBay and at local op-shops and recently tried to de-stash, advertising more than 80 of them on eBay, but only about a dozen of them went :-( Must find other places to sell them, I guess, or end up giving them away...
anyway, have a great day tomorrow,

I have an extensive library, mostly gotten from Ebay.... I go to Amazon and read up what people say about a book, decide yay or nay and sometimes it is cheaper on Amazon (esp used) and go to Ebay and see if it is available there and also check elsewhere on the internet. Love all the resources available now out there in the cyberworld as you can get things so much more reasonably so you can afford more. Just like fabric and patterns and sewing gadgets and notions and more....
I am thrilled that patterns are available now ....I am very interested in very specific types of skirts that are meant for ballroom dancing so they are full and longer (30 to 36 inches long) and are often full circle, have gores, godets, irregular hemlines, flounces, ruffles, etc. etc. etc. I can now look up past patterns as well at Ebay, Ecrater, Etsy, Bonanza, etc. I can ask people to make me patterns based on aspects of existing dresses and ideas I have. I have a Vogue sewing cabinet stuffed with patterns that I have collected since I was 12, and I will be 53 on Wednesday! I have gotten rid of many patterns but I keep patterns that have redeeming value and that suit my "theatrical romantic" personality of dress and my size, 5'4", dress size 6-8, pattern size 12, 32D, 35/29/37 (30 years ago I weighed 300 lbs)...so now I am admittedly a real clothes hound!!!
I bookmark every article that I might want to refer back to.... Aren't we all lucky with all the resources we now have available to us!!!???!!!

In my opinion the most useful sewing book ever written is the Bishop Method of Clothing Construction, by Edna Bryte Bishop. I own 2 different editions, and recommend them highly.

I like it so much when I found a copy in an antique mall I purchased it for my daughter to have as a reference. In case you are interested you can recognize it by the price printed on both the cover and the spine. There have been updated versions since then but this older edition is still my favorite. It is a magazine size paperback.
You know I think I will run over to the local office supply store later today and have it spiral bound. Don't know why I haven't thought of that before!

Kathleen also has some tutorials on her website that I use when I can.
For other tasks, I use Sandra Betzina's _Power Sewing_ and my 1970s era Vogue Sewing Book, a.k.a. The Big Fat Sewing Book. Though sometimes the methods in these books aren't the best, they give me a base to start from.

The book taught me skills that were missing and I found that I often prefer to use Vogue patterns over others because of their great care in details for construction. I have depended on "Threads" magazine for ideas to update old patterns and spark creative ideas. I enjoy the articles that discuss fabric stores in larger cities so that when I go visit these cities I already have my list ready!

Benjamin Franklin's notion of good works
Letter to Joseph Huey
Joseph O'Brien 10 p.m., Sept. 20
Okay, pause the snark for minute, and just bask in the loveliness of that trailer. They had faces then, indeed.
There, wasn't that nice? Now, because you are a jaded modern soul, and so cannot receive beauty without even a hint of a smirk, how 'bout this:
I love this shot of Our Hero After He Has Fallen on Hard Times, Imagining Himself in His Former Glory with the Help of a Tuxedo Display:
But at the same time, I'm imagining a Disney cartoon version, something out of the great old Donald Duck days. In this version, our hero has not only been let go by the studio, he's let himself go as well. He weighs twice as much as his former matinee idol self. As he stares at his reflection, the tuxedo in the display begins to puff and swell, as if is bloated body is actually inside it. Eventually, one of the buttons pops off the shirt, and does so with such force that it cracks the glass of the display window. And of course, that cracks Our Hero's reflection - and shatters his dream.
Now if you'll excuse me - I have something in my eye.
(Yes, yes, I know - that "Donald Duck cartoon" is actually a modern mashup. Sue me, I liked it.)

"We've got to stop being the stupid party" – thus spake Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal in a keynote address in Charlotte at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting.
Well, to quote 21st-Century philosopher Ron White, "You can't fix stupid."
Until stupid people are no longer in charge of the party or in positions of influence, until people who are members of the party stop listening to the "nattering nabobs of negativism" (where have I heard that before?) who dominate the radio spectrum and start thinking for themselves, stupidity will continue to reign supreme within the Republican Party.
I first witnessed the GOP's proclivity for self-destruction when Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, briefly seized control of the party and won his nomination as the man to attempt to unseat President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Members of the conservative wing of the party apparently hold to the philosophy that it is better to fall on the sword of principle than achieve incremental victory through compromise. The first Republican President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, felt differently, as did the party's unarguably greatest president, Abraham Lincoln.
When I ask this question of many of my conservative friends, I usually get a blank stare: If the Republican Party is the party that stands for getting government out of our lives, why is it so interested in what people are doing in their bedrooms?
Some Republicans like to make a big deal out of family values and how they are protecting them through their opposition to gay marriage. Given the divorce rate among heterosexual couples – including many Republicans – in this country, what, exactly, are they trying to protect?
Former state Senator and Assemblyman Jim Brulte was in town last week to pitch his candidacy for chairmanship of the state party. In an interview in the U-T, he used plenty of football metaphors to explain what has happened, and what needs to be done to turn things around.
A solution/metaphor that was missing? Fire the coach.
The San Diego Republican Party just witnessed one of the most brutal beat-downs in its history and yet, remarkably, Tony Krvaric was re-elected local party chairman.
Virtually every candidate of consequence the party supported lost in November. The few who won generally won not because of party support, but in spite of it.
One reason for this could be "Coach" Krvaric's scorched-Earth policy toward candidates (and consultants apparently), with many running for cover because they cannot be seen to be working with candidates or office-holders from the Democratic Party or even those who decline-to-state (this even though many of the offices in question are officially nonpartisan). To do so is to be black-balled by the local party – hardly a recipe for recruiting talented people or encouraging good government.
But then, as another philosopher once put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

From an editorial of April 5, 1976, by TOM ELKINS, Manager, KNUI Radio, Kahului, Hawaii
In order for me to eat an omelet, some chickens have to lay some eggs. If there are no eggs, there can be no omelet . . . and I might have to be satisfied with cereal. That might hurt my feelings, but that can't be helped. Sooner or later, reality has a way of asserting itself. In our complex economic system, it frequently happens later . . . but it happens, nonetheless. Those who claim that they have a right to be non-productive because others are non-productive, too, are ignoring the basic fact that everything that is consumed must be produced by somebody. And anything that expands the number of non-producers, or the amount they consume, puts an extra burden on the producers. It can't be any other way.

Don't ask Bill Snyder. He won't say. The players honestly don't know the answer, either, but they find it hard to hide their opinions. Nine games into the 2010 season, a once-seemingly inevitable storyline is finally news for the Kansas State Wildcats.
Who will be the starting quarterback? So far this season, the answer has stayed Carson Coffman, but following K-State's 39-14 victory over Texas, suddenly the name Collin Klein is in the conversation. And for good reason.
With Coffman mending an injured ankle Saturday night, Klein became the surprise starter for the Wildcats and left the field as one of the game's stars.
So, when the Wildcats take on the Missouri Tigers on Saturday, will it be Klein or Coffman under center for the Wildcats?
Snyder, the consummate strategist, has done little to quell the guessing game. "Who do you want?" he asked from behind a podium during his Tuesday press conference.
The veteran coach may want to ask his players as most seem to have an opinion on the matter, even if they don't voice it concisely. Nobody on the roster came out and threw a vote of confidence behind Klein or Coffman, but at times on Tuesday, it wasn't hard to read between lines.
Everyone worded it differently, but the consensus was clear. The feeling in the locker room following last week's bowl-clinching victory was one of satisfaction. Days later, praise is still being heaped on the offense at every turn. So, of course, it was asked:
Is it possible that last week's offensive performance, an effort that saw K-State gain just nine yards through the air, was the Wildcats' best of the season? Fullback Braden Wilson fielded it cleanly and responded without batting an eye.
"Yeah, it was," he said. "If felt like everything was just clicking and going for us."
As things got more quarterback-specific, however, quotes became a little bit subtler. They came in Snyder-speak and other forms of code, but all seemed to point in the same direction.
"Collin opens it up for me and everybody else because he's a threat to run the ball," tailback Daniel Thomas said before reiterating the fact that he had no idea who would line up under center this Saturday against the Tigers. Just questions later, though, he seemed to tip his hand.
This time the response came to a vague inquiry about the effectiveness of K-State's offense going forward, and nobody so much as mentioned a quarterback until the start ball-carrier spoke.
"Collin gave us a boost and a sense of confidence," he said. "I think we're ready to go now."
Not exactly the sounds of indifference. And as the admittedly not-in-the-loop Thomas went on, he seemed to grow more confident in his assumptions. If last week's signal-caller surprise was the best-executed coverup in Snyder history, this one will either top it or serve as its foil.
"I don't think we'll be able to get away with nine passing yards every game because I think they will be keyed on the run with Collin more," Thomas said. 'We'll have to open it up more (against Missouri)."
Somehow Klein, who rushed for 127 yards and completed two of just four passes he attempted in his first career start, seems to be one of few players 100-percent confused by what may take place during the week ahead. Will he start again? He doesn't expect to know until Saturday morning. Does he feel like the starter? To that one, there was no clear response, just an effort to dance around the toes of both his teammates and his coach.
"I feel like it in the fact that I'm still a little sore and stuff," Klein said with a quick smile. "The most important things is the kind of team victory that we had on Saturday. That's a great feeling. We're just going to see what happens.
"I'm going to prepare hard regardless if I am going to start or not."
Apathy was the theme when the sophomore spoke. Praise deflection and open-ended responses were the norm as the Colorado product fell directly in line with Snyder's wait-and-see outlook. Still, his shoulder-shrugging routine has a long way to go before it catches up to the one put on display by Snyder, the master of the move.
Coffman, who Snyder indicated is fully recovered from a minor ankle injury, was not made available to the media this week, but it didn't stop the steady line of riddle-like responses from flowing. "Flip a coin," Snyder said before laying down a seemingly tongue-in-cheek suggestion about playing a mix Klein, Coffman and third option Sammuel Lamur come this weekend.
"I'm not all together certain yet," he added. "I'm truly not."

I Am Woman - Hear Me: Raw
I was sent this link - please do check it out. It's hilarious. Biting satire/parody - and beyond that it's just the perfect attitude; the perfect tone. Why do we accept a world to live in where female artists are defined by questionnaires that ponder their makeup and health-care regimes; that wonder how they manage to fit in looking super-fine around breeding? Oh, and making marketable and (therefore) wonderful music on the side.
Aretha Franklin is just about the finest vocalist - and musician - alive. Male/female, it doesn't matter. She's just extraordinary - you listen to her at her best and she's stunning; she blows your mind, she makes you wonder how you ever got through life without/before hearing her. She is that good. And better.
I never questioned Emmylou Harris - when hearing Red Dirt Girl or way back when she was working with Gram. I just listened. I just heard something extraordinary. And beautiful. And wise. And wonderful - her covers album, her live album, her earlier albums that turned country on its ear - I wasn't measuring those as the work of a female singer/songwriter; I was only ever listening to those - just as I do now - as one of my favourite singers. And performers. She might as well be Neil Young or Bob Dylan. Just as she has sung with both of them. Been a part of some of their best work.
Joni Mitchell? Well you'll never find a writer and singer and performer better. Just make sure you ignore all those calls that describe her as the female Bob Dylan. She's so much more than that - and so much more around and beside that, and so much (is) irrelevant to that.
Isn't it ridiculous that we call the female artists out for being "the female _____" - some version of Bob Dylan or Neil Young or whoever we consider important?
There's nothing - and nobody - I've ever heard in my life that compares to the first time I heard PJ Harvey and Liz Phair and Emmylou Harris and Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone and Karen Dalton and Nicole Atkins and Anita O'Day and so many others.
Isn't it sad that we define them by their gender as genre?
My favourite female musicians are simply some of my favourite musicians - I'm never really thinking of their gender. I simply think about the music I love. The music that moves me. And so much of it comes from Cyndi Lauper and Suzanne Vega and Natalie Merchant and Sinead O'Connor and Beth Orton and so many more...
Laura Nyro? Are you kidding me? A legend. A hero.
Kristin Hersh? One of the greats - a writer of prose and songs so good that I'm surprised more people don't know about her.
Fleetwood Mac? A great band - or several great bands obviously. But don't look to Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie as eye candy or the token females. They made the post-blues version/s of the band - their songs - and the tension manufactured by them, and through them, was what resonated. They were the reason the band meant something to more than one generation. They are the reason the band is still written about.
Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Kim Gordon's part in Sonic Youth, Marianne Faithfull, Patti Smith - whatever - and whoever...don't ever just (or ever) refer to it as female singer/songwriter music - don't ever call it out for the gender.
I listen to Babes in Toyland because I love music. And I love the music that they make.
There's no other reason beyond that.
Women in Rock issues - or Issues - are not something I care to comment on, or care about. I love music. And if I think it is good, it resonates with me. And everyone I've named in this post - and so many names outside of this post - keep me listening to so much; keep me on my toes, keep me feeling alive - and happy - for all that music offers me.
Patsy Cline is one of my all-time favourites - just as Otis Redding is. Why do you think there is any difference? Why do you think we cover it differently? This is something I have never understood.

Egyptian Central Bank Modifies Foreign Exchange Rate Mechanism
The Egyptian Central Bank will announce changes to the foreign exchange mechanism on Sunday, local press reports said.
A flexible central rate that changes weekly is expected to be set up according to supply and demand, with banks and foreign exchange companies given a not less than two percent margin to move upwards and downwards around the new price.
The Cairo-based daily Al Ahram said that the new rate was expected to exceed four pounds per dollar, while consultancies had suggested a rate between 4 and 4.1 pounds per dollar, in addition to setting a mechanism that would allow the movement of the central rate on a weekly basis according to supply and demand. The margin between the maximum and minimum rate should change according to market fluctuations.
The daily added that banks would have free rein to buy and sell foreign currencies at the highest possible market rates.
The system will also apply to foreign exchange companies, with the central bank tightening its grip on the market to ensure that no banks or exchange companies move to change the set rate - Albawaba.com

Beach vacation on Ibiza
Ibiza | It is often said Ibiza is an island for the rich and famous or young at heart or alternatives. We think Ibiza is especially an island for normal vacationers. Next to Majorca Ibiza is the second most popular travel destination of holiday home vacationers who choose Balearic Islands and it particularly captivates with its lovely island landscape. The island is surrounded by a rugged rock coastline where there are a number of picturesque bays with idyllic sandy beaches. Behind there is a hilly hinterland with a well preserved flora and fauna. Next to the three larger towns Eivissa (Ibiza-Town), Sant Antonio de Abad and Santa Eulária des Riu there are hardly any other big residential areas. Most holiday homes are fincas which are spread out across the landscape in secluded locations and merely in some of the many bays are there little villages also referred to as "Calas". On atraveo you will find an extensive selection of holiday apartments and houses in such Calas which are in close proximity to the sea. The picturesque location of most beaches and azure water ensure delightful bathing pleasures. The hinterland away from the tourist masses also has its attractions with a number of stylish holiday domiciles available which offer an own pool as well as other amenities. Why not have a browse and click through the offers.
A small assistance: The most popular places on Ibiza with atraveo travellers are Sant Carles de Peralta, Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Sant Jordi, Cala San Vicente, Santa Eulária des Riu and Sant Llorenç de Balàfia.
Party until the early hours of the morning
As idyllic the Balearic Island Ibiza is during the day with its pretty beaches and bays the nights are atmospheric and hot in many towns. Particularly the main town Eivissa provides those dance and party revellers with lots to do. Here one is able to find some of the world's most famous discos including the largest nightclub on the globe situated between Eivissa and Sant Antoni. Generally things kick off from 12 p.m. with the end more or less open – most often people stay until sunet. There will also be vibrant activity at some of the beaches. In Sant Antoni for example the Café del Mar lures where many House DJs have recorded their music compilations.
Further information on holiday home vacation and nightlife on Ibiza can be found with the holiday home selection for the island.

CLAREMONT >> Two Claremont Unified School District board members, current president Mary Caenepeel and former president Jeff Stark, did not submit re-election papers for the November election.
Caenepeel, first elected in 2005, and Stark, who joined the board in 2009, cited different priorities for why they are leaving.
"We have four grandchildren, and I want to spend more time travelling to see them," Caenepeel said in a email.
"We have aging parents who live out of state and out of the country. We have had to spend more time away, meeting their needs. Our district has a wonderful superintendent who, I hope, will stay with us for many years. What prompted me to run in 2005 and much more has been accomplished. It is time for others to have the opportunity to serve our students and our community."
Stark, a principal and partner in an investment advisory business he co-founded, said part of the reason he was not running was because of how busy he has been.
"I really put a lot of thought into running again but I have gotten so busy in my business I find it difficult to balance everything that I do," Stark said.
The main reason is that he successfully helped get the district and its "fabulous people working in our district and district office" get through a "very difficult" financial crisis.
"And that was really about it," Stark said. "I think we made some very wise financial decisions," including selling unproductive district assets, he added.
Caenepeel also felt the district was doing well.
"The financial situation is really secure right now," Caenepeel said. "I like the direction the district is going with student learning. The attitude of the previous leadership seemed to be too test-results-orientated. Now, one of our district goals is to focus on the whole child. So test scores aren't the only thing, and that was something I was every concerned about" when Caenepeel ran for the board.
Board member Hilary LaConte said she would miss Caenepeel and Stark.
"Mary and Jeff have been excellent board members and I will miss their reasonable, rational approach to governance," LaConte said in an email. "Their service spanned some difficult years for the district, both in terms of state revenue and leadership, but they remained focused on students and outcomes for the district. CUSD is positioned to move forward because of their contributions."
Sam Mowbray said the current board has worked well together.
"There are some tensions, of course," Mowbray said. "But some of the tension in the past, or previous difficulties, have dissipated. Every once in a while, a bit of tension will be raised. It's usually short-lived. A few comments will be made and we'll move on to the next issue. I can't think of single item in last two years that has been ongoing to the point of contention. I think we work very well together."
Joe Tonan, a sixth-grade teacher at Sumner-Danbury Elementary in Claremont and an executive board member of the Claremont Faculty Association, said his organization appreciates the hard work from Caenepeel and Stark.
Running for three seats in the Nov. 5 election will be incumbent Steven Llanusa, retired teacher David Nemer, college administrator Nancy Treser Osgood, teacher and county lifeguard Joseph Salas, and real estate broker Paul A. Steffen.

Jonathan Rea and new signing Leon Haslam are on hand to reveal the new-look Pata Honda team ahead of the 2013 World Superbike Championship.
- Home

- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
Honda has become the first World Superbike Championship team to take the wraps off its challenger for the 2013 season as it officially welcomed the arrival of title sponsor Pata.
The Italian snacks company was revealed as Honda's major new backer in October 2012, Pata opting to go into partnership with Honda and Ten Kate Racing having run its own privateer Ducati/Aprilia team in 2011 and 2012.
Launched at the MotorBike Expo in Verona, the Pata Honda livery is, as anticipated, similar to that of the Pata Ducati/Aprilia of 2011 and 2012, showcasing a familiar white, red and blue design that is also in-keeping with the corporate colours of Honda. In addition, the bikes sport the headlights that will be rolled out across the classes this year.
As well as the new sponsorship deal, which also extends to an expanded World Supersport line-up, the launch saw Leon Haslam officially inaugurated into the Honda team alongside Jonathan Rea having made the switch from BMW over the winter.
"It's great for me to be back with Honda for 2013 and I'm really happy with the whole look of the Pata Honda team. We've got a two day test in Jerez next week before all the kit has to be packed up for Australia. The first round can't come soon enough for me!"
Multiple race winner Rea, who is entering into his fifth season with Honda, was also excited about the upcoming year as he looks to mount a title campaign.
"This is a really exciting moment," said Rea after the unveiling of the team and its new racing livery. "I think the bikes and the leathers look great and we know that there are some exciting developments for the CBR for this season, so I can't wait for it to start."
Haslam and Rea were joined at the launch by fellow newcomers Lorenzo Zanetti and Michael van der Mark, who will front Pata Honda's World Supersport team.
Honda comes into the 2013 World Superbike Championship looking to challenge for its first title since James Toseland was victorious in 2007. Since then, the team has won 14 WSBK races (Rea 9, Carlos Checa 2, Ryuichi Kiyonari 3), but has only gotten as high as fourth overall in 2010 with Rea and Checa in 2008.
Pata will enjoy a significant presence in the paddock in 2013, sponsoring both the Ten Kate Honda Superbike and Supersport efforts, as well as supporting the three rider-strong Martini Corse outfit in the Supersport class.

FAIRFAX, VA-The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Dr. Mark Shelton in the special election runoff for Texas State Representative in District 97. Voters will go to the polls on December 18 to determine who replaces retiring State Rep. Anna Mowery.
"Mark Shelton is the right choice in this runoff election," Chris W. Cox stated. "He is a champion for gun owners and a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Because of this he has earned an 'A' rating from NRA-PVF."
Cox continued, "We've seen major pro-gun legislation, such as Emergency Powers protections and the Castle Doctrine, become law in Texas. To successfully continue these positive movements, gun-owners and NRA members must continue to vote for candidates who support our Second Amendment at all levels of local, state and federal government."
Chris W. Cox serves as Executive Director and Chairman of NRA-PVF. The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund is responsible for political candidate rankings. These are based on candidate voting records, public statements and responses to NRA-PVF questionnaires.
-- nra - pvf --
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. Four million members strong, NRA continues to uphold the Second Amendment and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.

A couple who witnessed the lion rumoured to be roaming the Essex countryside have warned "whatever it was, it's definitely still out there."
The search for the lion was called off on Monday afternoon, with police insisting that the sightings were either of a domestic cat or a wildcat.
However Steve and Gill Atkin, who first photographed the animal in Osyth, are not convinced that the creature was merely a pet cat.
Mrs Atkin told BBC Essex: "The Mirror [newspaper] has made a bit of a farce of it this morning, saying it was a cat called Tom, but no, I don't think it was a domestic cat."
Steve and Gill Atkin have warned that the animal is still out there
Two helicopters, 25 officers, an expert from Colchester Zoo and thermal imaging equipment were deployed trace the animal.
Steve Atkin told police he saw what was "a very large animal and possibly a lion" cleaning itself and rolling around in a field for 20 to 30 minutes. They managed to get a picture of the creature on Sunday afternoon.
Picture of the 'lion' taken by Stephen and Gill Atkin who saw it in the field
A number of other holiday makers spotted the king of the jungle near Earls Hall Drive in St Osyth.
One man was more vocal about what he saw. Rich Baker, 39, was walking with his two boys, aged nine and 11, later on Sunday evening when what appeared to be a lion peered out from the darkness.
He told the Daily Mail: "A man started running towards us yelling 'It's a f*cking lion!'
"He looked so panicked you knew it was not a joke. The lion you could see it from the side.
"I grabbed my children's hands and we ran towards our caravan. My children started to scream, "daddy, is the lion going to get us?"
"It was one million per cent a lion. It was a tan colour with a big mane, it was fully grown, it was definitely a lion. It was just standing there, it seemed to be enjoying itself.
"There were a dozen or so people who saw it. We are staying on the caravan park down the road. It's very busy – it's a seaside resort and a bank holiday."
According to the Daily Mirror, the culprit could have been Tom, a 12-year-old ginger tomcat that lives close to the original sighting and likes to prowl the nearby fields.
Though police aren't treating the lion sightings as a hoax, they called off the search after no pawprints, droppings or other evidence was found, despite combing the countryside around Clacton-On-Sea.

Charlie Sheen Responds To Show Shutdown – Still Crazy
Charlie Sheen - shut the hell up and just go to rehab for 2 years, would ya? Gawd. His previous rants against the creator of Two and a Half Men led CBS to stop production on the show for the remainder of the season.
Well, Sheen decided to respond to THAT bit of new through an open letter on TMZ.com, by saying:
"I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth," the letter reads. "I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words – imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists."
Sheen concludes his letter with an open plea for his fans to support him.
"I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade," he writes, "to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong."
Seriously, are we talking about the same show? Get real. Or just OD already.
