Very interested in this option as it has been used in Europe with extremely high success rates. I can't find any information on if it needs to be done through the open approach only. Also, if any surgeons are currently using this method, I would appreciate their response in sharing their results. Thank you.
Can a PDS Plate, in Revision Septoplasty, Be Done Through the Closed Approach?
Doctor Answers 3
Closed Approach to Place PDS Plate in Revision Septoplasty
To answer your question a PDS plate can be placed with a closed approach. I appreciate your intellectual curiosity, but select an experienced surgeon rather than a device and the technique used to place it.
Using PDS plate with open or closed approach
Either an open or closed approach can be used. A big issue is to make sure that adequate tissue coverage of the plate is maintained after surgery.
In complex revision rhinoplasty and septal surgery I have found the plate to be useful. It isn't needed routinely in these situations (even with revision septoplasties), but can prove useful to stabilize very distorted septal cartilage.
You should consult with someone experience with revision procedures like yours to see what options you have.

PDS plate in rhinoplasty
PDS plate can be used in both closed and open cases. It is most often cited in open cases as these are usually descriptions of repair of the worst twisted and deviated septums. When needed it can certainly be used in closed cases. It's main value is to provide additional support during the healing process to cartilage that might on it's own be to weak for certain applications. The PDS disappears after 6-9 months and by that time there is enough healing to be stable.

Usually when it's learned that a movie has gone back into production, months after it has wrapped, for reshoots, that usually signifies problems with the finished product. Either the studio has seen the director's cut, and wants changes, or test audiences weren't thrilled about certain aspects of the movie when it was shown to them, and additions/edits were ordered by the studio. In the case of the teen vampire movie "Twilight", that may not be the case. Or at least, that's how the cast is spinning it.
Star Peter Facinelli told MTV this:
"They liked it so much, they are bringing us back for some encore time — to beef it up," he said. "A little salt and pepper.
"I can tell you it's a flashback scene… It gives us a little bit of history of the Cullen family. … They are just shooting a couple of different added scenes, and the scene I'm in, I can tell you it's me and Robert Pattinson. … Rosalie and Emmett are in that scene."
Flashbacks, eh? Sounds like the studio wanted some "fleshing out", as it were.
Taylor Lautner added this:
"I know they've been showing it to some people, and some people go, 'I want to see a little more of this,' or, 'I don't quite understand this,'…
"Well, I am going to be in the prom scene now, at the very end of the film. At first we didn't film that, and now some people are saying they want to see a bit more of Jacob, and they want him in the prom scene at the end."
Also according to Lautner, the reshoots were planned before Harry Potter made his exodus from 2008, leaving "Twilight" to jump his release date. It sure sounds like all these reshoots are intended to improve the film, and not because someone didn't like certain scenes. That's what it sounds like, anyway.
In any case, here's a new behind-the-scenes pic from the movie via Empire Online:

Rafael Pardo: Capture the Full Benefits of Your Employer's Matching Contribution
What do you think is the biggest mistake people make with their 401(k)s?
People often make the mistake of failing to contribute the amount required to trigger the maximum amount of matching contributions that their employer will make to their 401(k) retirement accounts. Many employers will match an employee's 401(k) contributions up to a certain percentage of the employee's regular salary in stepwise increments. For example, consider an employer whose retirement plan provides that the employer will match up to 5% of the employee's regular salary in the following manner: By matching with a 2.5% contribution for the first 2.5% of regular salary contributed by the employee and by matching with another 2.5% contribution for the second 2.5% of regular salary contributed by the employee. Based on this example, an employee who contributes 2% of regular salary would fail to trigger any matching contribution by the employer. And an employee who contributes 4% of regular salary would trigger only a 2.5% matching contribution by the employer. By failing to contribute more, both employees end up leaving a significant amount of money on the table: As I've previously written in this column, harnessing the power of compounding is critical to having sufficient retirement savings. If you don't capitalize on the full extent of your employer's matching contribution, you make the journey toward retirement security more of an uphill climb than it needs to be.

Income inequality in Colombia has declined since the early 2000s but remains very high by international standards. Income dispersion largely originates from the labour market, which is characterised by a still high unemployment rate, a pervasive informal sector and a wide wage dispersion reflecting a large education premium for those with higher education. Reducing income inequality is a key government objective and this requires improving the performance of the labour market. Raising educational outcomes for all and enhancing training programmes would help improve labour supply and productivity. Formal job creation however remains heavily constrained by restrictive labour market regulations, in particular very substantial non-wage labour costs and a minimum wage which is high compared to average incomes. The 2012 tax reform reduces non-wage labour costs but more decisive steps are needed to create the right conditions and incentives to boost formal employment.

Brazil To Host 2014 World Cup, But Will The Country Be Prepared?
READY OR NOT: The FINANCIAL TIMES' Jonathan Wheatley writes the announcement "received a mixed reception" in Brazil. While some are "overjoyed" the country will host its first World Cup since '50, the news also "stirred a degree of skepticism over Brazil's suitability as host nation" (FINANCIAL TIMES, 10/31). FIFA inspectors said that the Brazil Football Federation (CBF) had estimated a US$1.136B budget "for building and renewing the grounds." Facilities are "so basic at present that most of the stadiums are not equipped for television commentary" (LONDON TIMES, 10/31). SI.com's Tim Vickery reported FIFA and CBF authorities agree the country "doesn't currently possess a single stadium which is up to the task of staging a World Cup match." Vickery: "A lot of work will have to be done. Significant investment will be needed." CBF President Ricardo Teixeira "is unwilling to risk losing support by excluding cities from the project," but that means with about six and a half years until the World Cup, plans "are still very sketchy." The country will build a maximum of four new stadiums with other stadiums being remodeled, a project "that usually works out more expensive than starting a construction from scratch." Brazil is "aiming to maintain the current structure" of their stadiums with fans "miles away from the action." Vickery: "If this position is maintained, Brazil will host the 2014 World Cup with stadiums that are obsolete before the work has even started" (SI.com, 10/30).

I have spent way too long on this, but I finally got it to work. I want to share this with the forum in hopes of getting some feed back on it.
My goal was to find all the anarthrous occurrences of θεος in the NT even when another occurrence of θεος was articular. After much hairpulling and doodling and trying this and that, I managed to get a single ASE query to give the results. Adelphos published a query a while back attempting to do the same thing, but it only returned the verses where only an anarthrous θεος appeared and no articular θεος appeared at the same time. This left out verses like Luke 20:37 where θεος appears in a form that is both anarthrous and articular.
The result is that there are (according to this query) 241 verses that have an anarthrous θεος.
This should be usable to find any substantive that is anarthrous.
If you find something I missed let me know.
3/30/2006: I removed the query I made, because, as Charlie said, it didn't work...and it was so complicated that I knew it had to be right!

the above two products have become my staples in my skin care routine. first up is the instant boost skin tonic. if you ever think you don't need to use a toner then try one with a cotton wool pad after you have cleansed. even though you have washed your face you can still see the impact of the toner on the cotton wool pad after you have used it. this is great in the morning as well to refresh your skin and get it ready for the day ahead. at £12.25 for a 200ml bottle after buying my first one early last summer i am only about half way through my second bottle.
paired with the toner is the skin repair moisturiser. this is the light formula for combination/oily skin. i only use this moisturiser at night as in the morning i use my la roche-posay effaclar m sebo-regulating mattifying moisturiser to help prevent shine during the day. this moisturiser is great as its feels lovely and soft on the skin and very hydrating without being too greasy. at £18.25 for a 50ml bottle the price is a bit higher, as they usually are for moisturisers, but as i am still on my first bottle i can't complain!
all the product mentioned here can be bought directly from the liz earle website. have you been converted to the liz earle family yet?
also it has to be said happy valentines day! big love to one and all =)

Tragopogon graminifolius DC. (TG), Compositae family, is traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases like gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. The aim of the present study is to standardize extracts from TG used for preparation of different dosage forms in traditional Iranian medicine (TIM) based on phenolic compounds. For this purpose, total phenolic content and some phenolic compounds were determined in ethanolic extracts from aerial part and root of TG by HPLC method. Furthermore, antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH-HPLC methods. Caffeic acid, gallic acid, ρ-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and catechin were detected in root and aerial part of TG. ρ-Coumaric acid (6.357 ± 0.014 mg·g−1) was dominant phenolic compound in aerial part followed by ferulic acid (1.24 ± 0.018 mg·g−1). Also, ρ-coumaric acid (2.685 ± 0.031 mg·g−1) was highly abundant in root, followed by catechin (2.067 ± 0.021 mg·g−1). Antioxidant activity of root extract (460.45 ± 0.78 µg Vit.E.E·mL−1) was better than that of aerial part. Generally, phenolic compounds are one of the major constituents of TG and could be used as markers for standardization of dosage forms prepared from this plant. Also, TG demonstrated significant antioxidant activity using DPPH-HPLC method. Phenolic compounds of TG may be responsible for its marked antioxidant properties.
1. Introduction
Tragopogon graminifolius DC., Compositae family, is known as "Sheng" or "Lahiat-o-tis" in traditional Iranian medicine (TIM). Its aerial part including leaves and stems is widely consumed as green vegetable and in various indigenous foods in the west of Iran. It also has been used for treatment of wounds, hemorrhage, and various gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders in TIM. Traditional medicine sources asserted that root part possesses higher biological activity than the other parts of the plant [1–3]. In folk medicine of other countries, different species of Tragopogon have been used as anticough, astringent, vulnerary, and skin repairing and proposed to be beneficial for gastrointestinal disorders [4, 5]. Acute toxicity on TG demonstrated that this plant has a wide range of safe consumption [3]. The main constituents of Tragopogon genus are phenolic compounds [6–8]. Triterpene saponins, bibenzyls, and dihydroisocoumarins have been also reported from Tragopogon genus [9, 10]. Since various dosage forms are prepared from the extracts of aerial part and root part of this plant in TIM, we aimed to standardize the extracts from aerial part and also root of TG based on some phenolic compounds by HPLC method. Moreover, antioxidant activity and total phenol content of the extracts were evaluated using DPPH-HPLC and spectrophotometry methods, respectively.
2. Material and Method
2.1. Chemical and Reagents
Caffeic acid, gallic acid, ρ-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, catechin, DPPH, α-tocopherol, acetic acid, sodium bicarbonate, Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, ethanol, and methanol (HPLC gradient grade) were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany).
2.2. Plant Material
TG was collected in July 2012 from Kermanshah province, west of Iran, and authenticated by Dr. F. Attar (Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Tehran), and a voucher specimen (number 43603) was deposited in the Central Herbarium of Tehran University. Plant aerial part (leaves and stems) and roots were separately dried in the shade at room temperature and ground to powder.
2.3. Plant Extraction
Powdered aerial part (100 g) and root (100 g) were separately extracted three times with 70% ethanol. Their extracts were filtered and evaporated at reduced pressure to yield residues about 29.45% and 18.86% on the basis of dried plant material, respectively. Samples in concentration of 1 mg/mL in HPLC grade deionized water were assessed.
2.4. Total Phenolic Content Assay
Total phenolics were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent [11]. The extract (1 mL) was mixed with 1.5 mL of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent (previously diluted 10-fold with distilled water) and allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 min. 1.5 mL sodium bicarbonate solution (60 g/L) was added to the mixture and after incubation for 90 min at room temperature; the absorbance was measured at 750 nm using a UV-visible spectrophotometer (GBC, Cintra 40). Total phenolics were quantified by calibration curve obtained from measuring the absorbance of the known concentrations of gallic acid standard solutions (25–150 μg/mL in 80% methanol). The results were calculated as gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per one gram dry extract and reported as mean value ± SD.
2.5. Liquid Chromatographic Analysis
Samples were analyzed by a Knauer HPLC (Germany) system which consisted of a pump (Maxi-Star K-1000, Knauer, Germany), a degasser, an automated injector, a column oven, and a UV detector. The system was controlled by Euro Chrom 2000 software (Version 1.6, Knauer Co., Germany). Chromatographic conditions were evaluated and optimized in Eurospher-100 C8 column (5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm). Column temperature was maintained at 60°C. Mobile phase consisting of 2% (v/v) acetic acid in water-methanol, 82 : 18 (v/v), and the flow rate was set at 1.5 mL/min. The injection volume for all samples was 10 μL and the chromatographic detection was monitored at 280 nm. Phenolic compounds were identified according to retention times as a comparison with the standards. The concentration of each phenolic compound was measured from peak area according to calibration curves. The amount of each phenolic acid was expressed as milligram per gram of dry extracts.
2.6. Antioxidant Capacity Measured by DPPH-HPLC Method
Antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts from TG aerial part and root was determined using DPPH free radical scavenging activity, according to Hajimahmoodi et al. [11]. Fifty microliter of each sample was added to 2 mL DPPH (0.1 mmol/L) solution. Mixtures were shaken and then remained in dark at room temperature for 40 min. The samples were filtered through a 0.2 μm Minisart RC 4 membrane filter (Sartorius, Germany); then 10 μL was injected to HPLC. Chromatographic conditions were evaluated in Eurospher-100 C8 column (5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm) eluted isocratically by mixture of methanol: deionized water; 90 : 10 as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL·min−1. The chromatograms were monitored at 517 nm. 50 µL of distilled water was added to 2 mL of DPPH as blank sample. The differences in the reduction of DPPH peak area between blank and samples were taken to determine the percent of radical scavenging activity of the samples.
2.7. Method Validation
Based on the ICH method [12], the detection limit (LOD) and quantitation limit (LOQ) were expressed as and , where is the standard deviation of the response and is the slope of the calibration curve of the analyte. The estimate of was carried out by using the standard deviation of blank. In this study, blank samples were analyzed three times, and the magnitude of the analytical background response was measured. Then the standard deviation of responses was calculated. In order to verify the feasibility of the method, sample recovery was used by analyzing samples before and after the addition of known quantities of each compound.
2.8. Statistical Analysis
Three replicates of each sample were used for statistical analysis and the values were reported as mean ± SD. The mean values were compared by t-test. Differences at value < 0.05 were considered to be significant.
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. HPLC Method Validation
Some important method validation parameters are presented in Table 1. Results for correlation coefficients were always larger than 0.995 showing a good relationship between peak areas and concentrations. Detection limits of phenolic compounds in the sample were also found to be satisfactory. The accuracy of the method was validated by analyzing a spiked sample. The recoveries of these standards were between 92.24 and 107.21%.
3.2. Total Phenolic Content
Total phenolic content of aerial and root extracts of T. graminifolius were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results which were presented in Table 2 show that total phenolic content of the aerial extract (560.67 ± 18.85 mg·g−1 as gallic acid equivalent) was significantly higher than the root extract (292.34 ± 13.67 mg·g−1 as gallic acid equivalent). Mroueh et al. showed that the total phenolic content of methanol extract from T. porrifolius aerial part was 37.1 (mg·g−1 as gallic acid equivalent) [13]. Therefore, both T. graminifolius aerial and root part possess higher phenolic content than T. porrifolius aerial part.
In comparison with other medicinal plants, Surveswaran et al. expressed that total phenolic content of various Indian plants ranged from 0.6 (Acacia Arabica) to 414.7 (Acacia catechu) mg·g−1 as gallic acid equivalents [14]. In another study in which total phenolic content of selected Chinese medicinal plant was measured, the range of total phenolic content was between 2.4 (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) and 457.0 (Acacia catechu) mg·g−1 as gallic acid equivalents [15]. So, T. graminifolius encompasses a high abundant level of total phenolic content by regarding the other assessed plants.
3.3. Determination of Phenolic Compounds
Phenolic compounds like flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polyphenols are the most important in Tragopogon genus constituents. The HPLC method was applied to evaluate four phenolic acids and one flavonoid including caffeic acid, gallic acid, ρ-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and catechin in root and aerial part of T. graminifolius. Figure 1 shows the chromatogram of phenolic compound in aerial part and also in standards. The high amount phenolic compound in 70% ethanolic extract of aerial part was ρ-coumaric (6.357 ± 0.014 mg·g−1) followed by ferulic acid (1.24 ± 0.018 mg·g−1), while the most phenolic compound in root was ρ-coumaric acid (2.685 ± 0.031 mg·g−1) followed by catechin (2.067 ± 0.021 mg·g−1).
Statistical results from t-test showed that all the phenolic compounds are significantly different in root and aerial with exception of gallic acid amount (Table 2). The amount of catechin (2.067 ± 0.021 mg·g−1) in root was significantly higher than aerial part (1.079 ± 0.033 mg·g−1). Also, ferulic acid in root (1.363 ± 0.023 mg·g−1) was significantly more than the aerial (1.24 ± 0.018 mg·g−1). In contrast, aerial part possesses higher ρ-coumaric acid (6.357 ± 0.014 mg·g−1) and caffeic acid (0.326 ± 0.021 mg·g−1) than root part (2.685 ± 0.031 and 0.135 ± 0.006 mg·g−1, resp.). Various phenolic compounds have been identified in Tragopogon genus plants: apigenin, luteolin, quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucoside, vitexin, isovitexin, vicenins-1 and 2, swertisin, orientin, isoorientin, and lucenins-1 and 2 have been detected in five species of Tragopogon including T. porrifolius, T. mirus, T. dubius, T. miscellus, and T. pratensis [6]. Also chlorogenic acid, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, scopoletin 7-oglucoside, vitexin, and orientin have been found in T. porrifolius aerial part [8]. In Smolarz and Krzaczek study [16], detected flavonoids in T. orientalis L. were apigenin, vitexin, luteolin, orientin, isoorientin, and quercetin. In another study performed by DAD UV-Vis HPLC, the amounts of ferulic acid (197.79 μg·g−1), caffeic acid (278.72 μg·g−1), resveratrol (13.95 μg·g−1), sinapic acid (110.85 μg·g−1), rutin (89.99 μg·g−1), and gallic acid (1347.85 μg·g−1) were determined in T. pratensis flower and gallic acid was the dominant, followed by caffeic acid [7]. Therefore, the content of ferulic acid and caffeic acid in T. graminifolius aerial part was more than T. pratensis. In contrast, gallic acid in T. pratensis was higher than that of T. graminifolius [7].
Among other medicinal plants, the amount of caffeic acid in T. graminifolius aerial part is more than many herbs including Petroselinum sativum (0.144 mg·g−1), Glycyrrhiza glabra (0.153 mg·g−1), Epilobium hirsutum (0.231 mg·g−1), Salvia officinalis (0.074 mg·g−1), Ginkgo biloba (0.398 mg·g−1), Origanum majoricum (0.104 mg·g−1), Poliomintha longiflora (0.081 mg·g−1), Thymus vulgaris (0.117 mg·g−1), Rosmarinus officinalis (0.029 mg·g−1), and Polygonum aviculare (0.215 mg·g−1). In contrast, content of caffeic acid in Taraxacum officinale (0.726 mg·g−1), Tanacetum vulgare (8.94 mg·g−1), and Humulus lupulus (0.381 mg·g−1) is higher than T. graminifolius [17, 18].
According to Wojdyło et al. study, ρ-coumaric acid ranges from 0.021 (Taraxacum officinale) mg·g−1 to 1.25 mg·g−1 (Juglans regia) in different selected herbs, so the T. graminifolius in the current report possesses high content of ρ-coumaric acid both in its root and aerial parts [17]. Additionally, the amount of ρ-coumaric acid in T. graminifolius was higher than that of black mulberry (Morus nigra), white mulberry (Morus alba), and red mulberry (Morus rubra) [19].
By regarding the ferulic acid, T. graminifolius aerial and root part possess higher ferulic acid content than Artemisia vulgaris (0.138 mg·g−1), Inula helenium (0.245 mg·g−1), Silybum marianum (0.207 mg·g−1), Petroselinum sativum (0.186 mg·g−1), and Glycyrrhiza glabra (0.197 mg·g−1). Moreover, the level of ferulic in Melisa officinalis (1.11 mg·g−1) is comparable to T. graminifolius. Tanacetum vulgare (4.71 mg·g−1) has dramatically dominant amount of ferulic acid in comparison with T. graminifolius [17].
In a study on some selected medicinal plants performed by Proestos et al. [20], gallic acid was ranged from 0.005 (Lavandula vera) to 0.41 mg·g−1 (Vinca rosea). So, amounts of gallic acid in both T. graminifolius aerial and root are more than these herbs. On the other hand, level of gallic acid of different extract from Dimocarpus longan and Mangifera indica was between 0.2 and 8.38 mg·g−1, which exhibited a high amount of gallic acid [21].
The results also showed that T. graminifolius is rich with respect to the catechin amount both in root and aerial in comparison with black mulberry (Morus nigra), white mulberry (Morus alba), and red mulberry (Morus rubra) which were 0.075, 0.037, 0.086 (mg·g−1), respectively [19]. Also, in Proestos et al. study [20], range of catechin was from 0.006 in Asperula odorata to 0.26 in Mentha pulegium which indicates high level of catechin in T. graminifolius.

Figure 2 shows a chromatogram of DPPH absorbance peak in blank and sample. The DPPH scavenging activities of plant extracts were expressed as µg vitamin E equivalent (μg Vit.E.E·mL−1). As data showed in Table 2, the 70% ethanolic extract of TG root (460.45 ± 0.78 μg Vit.E.E·mL−1) exhibited higher antioxidant activity than that of aerial part (242.61 ± 0.46 μg Vit.E.E·mL−1). According to Mroueh et al. methanol extract from T. porrifolius aerial part showed significant antioxidant activity (744 μmol·g−1 as Fe2+ equivalent) through FRAP spectrophotometry method [13]. The antioxidant capacity (DPPH) of various Indian plants, studied by Surveswaran et al. [14], ranged from 2.2 (Ricinus communis) to 6796.9 (Terminalia chebula) (μmol·g−1 as Trolox equivalent). The DPPH scavenging activities of lemon juices (Citrus lemon L.) were expressed from 208.91 to 888.59 (µg Vit.E.E·mL−1) in Hajimahmoodi et al. study [22]. Plant antioxidant activity, measured by the DPPH method in report of Wojdyło et al. [17], ranged from 0.073 in Archangelica officinalis to 20.21 (µmol·g−1 as Trolox equivalent) in Epilobium hirsutum. Therefore, T. graminifolius demonstrated a significant antioxidant activity which encompasses a key role on various medicinal activity of this plant including protective and healing function on peptic and duodenal ulcer and also wound healing and skin repairing activity [2, 3].
Phenolic compounds in various investigations demonstrated a wide range of biological activities, the most important of which are antioxidant properties [11, 23, 24]. The higher antioxidant activity of root part in comparison with aerial part could be related to the role of higher abundant phenolic compounds in the root, including catechin and ferulic acid.
Generally, ethanolic extract of T. graminifolius root and aerial part possesses high level of total phenolic content and encompasses a wide range of phenolic components: caffeic, gallic, ρ-coumaric, ferulic acid, and catechin. Moreover, its potential antioxidant and radical scavenging function indicate the efficacious consumption of this remedy in different diseases.
4. Conclusion
This study focused on the standardization of TG based on phenolic compounds as well as its antioxidant activity. This study suggested a HPLC method for standardization of herbal drugs containing TG based on phenolic compounds. Also significant antioxidant activity was demonstrated by TG using DPPH-HPLC method. Phenolic compounds of TG may be responsible for its marked antioxidant properties.

Feb. 13, 2010
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., February 13, 2010 - It was "Talor Battle Figurine Day" at the Bryce Jordan Center and the Nittany Lions' 6-0, point-guard didn't disappoint pouring in 30 points and a career-high tying seven threes in a thrilling duel with Michigan State point-guard Kalin Lucas, who posted 24, in front of a crowd of 14,017. But, it wasn't enough as the 10th-ranked Spartans used a 13-0 run to overcome a two-point deficit mid-way through the second half and claim a 65-54 victory.
Michigan State (20-6; 10-3 Big Ten) maintained its lead in the Big Ten standings behind 14 Lucas points in the final 12:24 as the Spartans out-scored the Lions 21-8 over the final 13 minutes of action after Penn State had claimed a 46-44 lead on a David Jackson (Farrell, Pa.) three with 12:24 to play.
The duel between two of the nation's top guards dominated the game as Battle (Albany, N.Y.) posted his Big Ten leading 13th 20-point plus outing of the year, and seventh in the last eight games, and his fourth 30-point game of the season, the second-most ever by a Nittany Lion. He hit 7-of-11 from three and added a team-high five assists and five boards in 37 minutes. Battle raised his season scoring average to 19.5 ppg overall and 20.3 ppg in conference games to pass Ohio State's Evan Turner for the conference scoring lead.
"When you play a team of the caliber of Michigan State - last year, they were in the National Championship game and Coach Izzo has won a National Championship and they are one of the best teams in the country every year - that's all the incentive you need to be hyped and excited to play," Battle said. "I had a lot of family and friends down here, so I was really excited today to be honest with you. At the same time that can hinder you, trying to do too much and trying to let the game come to you too much. But, I tried to level that and really focus in and tried to play well today."
Lucas, who started his first game since sustaining an injury last Saturday at Illinois, tied his career-high in points hitting 10-of-15 from the floor and added a game-high six assists. Michigan State saw Chris Allen also reach double figures with 14 while Penn State (8-16, 0-12 Big Ten) got 10 from David Jackson (Farrell, Pa.) for his career-best sixth-straight double-figure scoring game. The Spartan bench out-scored Penn State's 14-1 and out-rebounded the Lions' 13-1 as Michigan State's depth carried the day. The Spartans dominated the glass overall, 38-24, and used 12 offensive rebounds to get 11 second chance points.
The story of the game for the Lions was three-point shooting that kept them within range in the first half and gave them a brief lead in the second. After hitting five treys in the first half, Penn State hit five of its first seven three-pointers in the second half within a span of 6:13 to close a nine-point deficit and take a two-point lead. The fifth three gave Penn State a 46-44 lead with 12:24 remaining, but the Spartans took control from that point forward to cruise to the double-digit win.
Penn State shot 41 percent (18-for-44) from the field (18-of-44) and 42 percent (11-for-25) from three-point range. The Spartans were 47 percent (26-for-55) and 54 percent (7-for-13) from long range.
After Michigan State turned a six-point halftime lead into a 39-30 advantage, the Nittany Lions responded with a pair of three-pointers from Battle and Chris Babb on consecutive possessions to pull within 39-36 with 17:10 remaining.
Penn State's long-range shooting continued as Battle and Jackson hit two more threes to give the Lions a 46-44 lead, their first since 11-10.
Durrell Summers and Delvon Roe single-handedly put the Spartans back on top with 13-straight points to make it 57-46 with 6:12 remaining. After Summers scored the first seven, Roe came back with three-straight buckets in the low post to extend the run to 13-0. Jeff Brooks (Louisville, Ky.) finally ended the run and Penn State's 6:30 scoreless drought with a layup in the lane to cut the lead to single digits, 57-48, with 5:54 to go.
That was as close as the Nittany Lions would get as the Spartans maintained a double-digit margin, led by seven Lucas points in the final 4:59.
Lucas led an opening onslaught as well. His long jumper and driving layup put the Spartans up 4-0 just 1:26 into the game. Trailing 6-1, Penn State responded with 10 of the game's next 14 points, capped off by a Battle three-pointer to give the Lions their first lead of the game (11-10) with 10:51 remaining in the first half.
The Spartans answered with a 12-4 run of their own to open up a 22-15 lead, sparked by Allen, who had two of his four three-pointers in that span.
Babb ended the run with a three-pointer to pull within four and Battle followed with the Lions' next five, including a 28-foot three as the shot clock expired, to pull within 26-23 with 4:53 to go in the first half and bring the Jordan Center crowd to its feet.
Michigan State scored five of the next seven, including a Garrick Sherman last-second tip in as time expired, for the 31-25 halftime lead.
The Nittany Lions look for their elusive first Big Ten win on Wednesday when they travel to Evanston to face the Northwestern Wildcats. Game time is set for 8:30 p.m. (ET) on the Big Ten Network. After another road tilt at Michigan on Feb. 20, the Lions return home on Wednesday, Feb. 24 to face Ohio State at 6:30 p.m.

After a period of relative weakness and isolation during most of the 1990s, Russia is again appearing as a major security player in world politics. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of Russia's current security situation, addressing such questions as:
One important conclusion to emerge is that, while Russian foreign policy under Putin has become more pragmatic and responsive to both problems and opportunities, the growing lack of checks and balances in domestic politics makes political integration with the West difficult and gives the president great freedom in applying Russia's growing power abroad.

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Pandora Media stock: 1. FBR & Co analysts commented, "In this note we outline three ways for P , under the incoming Liberty/Sirius leadership, to generate meaningful upside to our base case SOTP argument for an $11 stock, or to limit downside risk." (6/26/2017) 2. Aegis analysts commented, "We readily admit that there are challenges, but we see greenshoots for the businesses, coupled with the discipled management of Liberty Media, the makes the risk-reward to owning the shares at the current depressed share price, compelling. Ad Supported. While we expect continued pressure on active users and listener hours in 2Q17, app tracking data has shown strengthening usage in May and June over levels in April. Pandora has opportunity to increase ad RPMs through a combination of increasing ad loads, increasingly monetizing auto and CE, the addition of programmatic in 2H17, video ads, and increasing premium direct pricing." (6/14/2017) 3. Macquarie analysts commented, "We remain skeptical that Verizon could pursue one or both of these assets, but think it's worth considering and could push things along between SIRI-P. We remain Neutral on Pandora as share movement is now largely driven by the whims of M&A." (6/6/2017) 4. Piper Jaffray Companies analysts commented, "Pandora shares remain under pressure as Liberty and SiriusXM continue to flip-flop in their public stance on takeover prospects. While we continue to believe that Liberty/SiriusXM remains a potential buyer, the price will likely depend on the success of Pandora's new Premium and Plus offerings. To that end, we conducted a second survey of Pandora users, to reassess consumer demand for the products amid recent competitive actions by Amazon and Spotify. Our survey focused on the intent of current Pandora users to subscribe to the enhanced Pandora Plus ($5 per month) plan and the full-featured on-demand Pandora Premium service ($10 per month). We found demand from current Pandora listeners for the Pandora Premium remained largely unchanged at 15%; however, interest in Pandora Plus has diminished from 28% to 14%. The survey continues to illustrates meaningful pentup demand for Pandora's new offerings, supporting our positive outlook on the shares." (3/22/2017) 5. Wells Fargo & Company analysts commented, "We analyze this data monthly to check for significant deviations from run-rate uses to build our full quarter estimate for ad-supported hours. We remind investors that with the increased focus on driving subscriptions of Pandora's ad-free Plus product and the impending roll-out of Pandora's full on-demand product Pandora Premium, ad- supported hours growth will over time become a less important driver of total company revenue growth. Based on our analysis, we remain confident in our current 1Q hrs forecast and leave our estimates, Market Perform rating, and $12- $14 valuation range unchanged."

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 2 Sell Ratings, 19 Hold Ratings, 16 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Hold (Score: 2.38)Consensus Price Target: $11.90 (44.65% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for Pandora Media (NYSE:P) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails9/25/2017FBR & CoReiterated RatingBuy$11.00Low9/14/2017Needham & Company LLCReiterated RatingBuy$11.00Low9/7/2017KeyCorpReiterated RatingHoldMedium8/23/2017Morgan StanleyReiterated RatingOverweight$12.00Low8/15/2017Stifel NicolausSet Price TargetBuy$12.00Medium8/15/2017Wells Fargo & CompanyReiterated RatingHoldMedium8/2/2017MKM PartnersReiterated RatingNeutral$10.00Low8/2/2017Barrington ResearchReiterated RatingMarket PerformMedium8/1/2017Credit Suisse GroupReiterated RatingBuy -> Neutral$8.55 -> $8.95Low8/1/2017Bank of America CorporationReiterated RatingUnderperform$9.00 -> $7.50Low8/1/2017Canaccord GenuityReiterated RatingBuy$15.00 -> $14.00Medium8/1/2017Citigroup Inc.Reiterated RatingBuy$12.00 -> $11.00High8/1/2017BMO Capital MarketsReiterated RatingMarket Perform$12.00 -> $11.00High8/1/2017WedbushReiterated RatingBuy -> BuyLow8/1/2017Piper Jaffray CompaniesLower Price TargetOverweight$13.00High8/1/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaLower Price TargetSector Perform -> Sector Perform$15.00 -> $10.00High6/30/2017AegisReiterated RatingBuy$13.00Low6/28/2017MacquarieReiterated RatingNeutral$11.00 -> $9.00Low6/21/2017GabelliInitiated CoverageBuy$12.00High6/18/2017Susquehanna Bancshares IncReiterated RatingNeutral$12.00 -> $7.00Low6/12/2017Pacific CrestReiterated RatingUnderweight$9.00Low6/12/2017CIBCReiterated RatingOutperform -> Market Perform$18.00High6/12/2017Goldman Sachs Group IncReiterated RatingBuy$16.00 -> $13.00High6/12/2017Oppenheimer Holdings, Inc.DowngradeOutperform -> Market Perform$18.00High6/12/2017William BlairReiterated RatingOutperformHigh6/12/2017Dougherty & CoReiterated RatingNeutralHigh5/19/2017SunTrust Banks, Inc.Reiterated RatingBuy$16.00 -> $10.50Medium5/14/2017B.

Outfielder Kosuke Fukudome, who was released at the end of the 2012 season by the New York Yankees' Triple-A affiliate Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, has decided to return to Japanese baseball next year, informed sources told Kyodo News on Friday.
Fukudome, 35, is already in talks with the Yokohama BayStars and the Hanshin Tigers, and his agent has said Fukudome has abandoned the idea of continuing his career in the major leagues.
BayStars general manager Shigeru Takada said his team is prepared to meet with Fukudome several times if necessary to negotiate a contract. "It starts now. But it will need a little more time," Takada said.
Tigers general manager Katsuhiro Nakamura, who has not received a response from Fukudome's camp, said his team is "prepared to wait (until after the New Year)."
Fukudome appeared in just 24 games for the Chicago White Sox this season before he was released on June 22. He signed a minor league deal with the Yankees affiliate on July 13.
The Osaka native batted a career .258 with 195 RBIs and 42 home runs in 596 games over parts of five seasons with the Chicago Cubs (2008-11), Cleveland Indians (2011) and White Sox (2012) organizations.
Fukudome, a career .305 hitter in nine seasons with the Chunichi Dragons, was the Central League's MVP in 2006.
Kato feeling better
Nippon Professional Baseball commissioner Ryozo Kato, who called off a scheduled meeting in Milwaukee, with Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig after falling ill, has recovered, NPB said Friday.
NPB said that Kato, who was supposed to hold talks with Selig on Thursday, was diagnosed with an "irregular pulse" at a hospital in Washington. The 71-year-old former Japanese ambassador to the United States is currently resting in his hotel room and his pulse has returned to normal.
Lions sign Spilborghs
The Seibu Lions on Friday announced the signing of veteran major league outfielder Ryan Spilborghs and former Hiroshima Carp closer Dennis Sarfate.
Spilborghs, a 33-year-old right-handed hitter, played seven seasons for the Colorado Rockies, batting .272 with 42 home runs in 619 career games. He has played at all three outfield positions but recently has played mostly in left and right. Spilborghs batted .288 in Triple-A last season with nine homers in 124 games.
His one-year contract is for $700,000.
Sarfate, 31, saved 35 games for the Carp in 2011. He lost the closer's job on May 20, when the Carp gave up five runs in the top of the ninth inning in a 5-4 home defeat to the Fighters. Sarfate finished the season 2-5 with nine saves.
The Lions also announced that lefty reliever Randy Williams will be back for 2013 after pitching in 55 games last season with a 1.70 ERA. Both Williams and Sarfate will receive $800,000 next year.

ABI research discusses new real time traffic systems including dedicated short range communication DSRC is a two-way network that sends more data about the vehicle itself and road conditions to listening points along the highway. Advances beyond RFID can add more memory to record and track item location history. Research on the RFID market indicates that usage of RFID will explode when RFID tag prices are less than a penny. This is expected by 2009 Recent RFID pricing is 7.2 cents per tag in orders of 10 million China is issuing RFID identity cards. The new ID cards can be read by a reader that is within 20 centimeters to 30 centimeters of the card. The cards are used to store basic personal information, such as name and birth date.

Hey guys whatsup,
Newbie here to the forum. I'm from the Dominican Republic. I'm recently in the market for new speakers. I've already decided to take a plundge into the Paradigms Studio 20 and a subwoofer. I'm undecided between the Seismic 110 and the DSP 3200. THe price difference between the two are high, at least for my wallet. As far as i can see the Seismic is alot smaller than the 3200. But do they both perform more or less the same? If they do then the choice would be the 3200. Space is a premium in my apartment, but at that price difference i'll install the 3200 as a window airconditioner if i have to. Now, if the Seismic is a better performer than the 3200, and with the size difference and all, i'd make the sacrifice and go for it. Here in the Dominican Republic there is no Paradigm distributor, so i have to buy solely on reviews and info i get online. i don't know much about graphs, yet. So i'm asking for help from u guys to see if u can point me in the right direction. Ah almost forgot, I enjoy music listening and movies, but music in my life has always come first. Thanks in advanced peoples.
