Landlocked malawi ranks among the world's most densely populated and least developed countries. the economy is predominately agricultural with about 85% of the population living in rural areas. agriculture accounts for more than one-third of gdp and 90% of export revenues. the performance of the tobacco sector is key to short-term growth as tobacco accounts for more than half of exports. the economy depends on substantial inflows of economic assistance from the imf, the world bank, and individual donor nations. in december 2007, the us granted malawi eligibility status to receive financial support within the millennium challenge corporation (mcc) initiative. malawi will now begin a consultative process to develop a five-year program before funding can begin. in 2006, malawi was approved for relief under the heavily indebted poor countries (hipc) program. the government faces many challenges including developing a market economy, improving educational facilities, facing up to environmental problems, dealing with the rapidly growing problem of hiv/aids, and satisfying foreign donors that fiscal discipline is being tightened. in 2005, president mutharika championed an anticorruption campaign. since 2005 president mutharika's government has exhibited improved financial discipline under the guidance of finance minister goodall gondwe and signed a three year poverty reduction and growth facility worth $56 million with the imf. improved relations with the imf lead other international donors to resume aid as well.

Daily Drill Part Thirteen
It is just about time to start a new Daily Drill Section. I have a lot of video clips from pro teams and groups both men and women. Some of the drills, games, transition games, shoot-outs, fitness drills have been posted before with younger groups in the video or different pro teams. If this is the case then I will include previous video links. Everyone adds a little wrinkle, whether it is starting in a different place on the ice or adding a task.
The table of contents for drill section 13 are in the pdf. posted below.
Links to the videos on YouTube are not on the postings so I have attached a pdf. with the links to YouTube video of the drills.
YouTube Playlists
Daily Drill Part Thirteen
C3 2-1 Flow – Prospects
Key Points:
Defense play a tight gap and delay the play. Slide to the outside of the near post when the play gets deep. Attack with speed and make the first pass early then read the D.
Defense make a breakout pass and follow the 2 on 1 ready to defend the next 2-1 in the other direction.
1. D1 pass to either F1 or F2.
2. F1-F2 attack vs. D2 and D1 follow.
3. On whistle D3 pass to either F3 or F4.
4. F3-F4 attack 2-1 vs. D1.
*Continue this flow.
*Game situations up to a 3-2 can be practiced with this drill.
C3 2-1 Continuous – Prospects
Key Points:
Defense skate between the dots. Make a hard breakout pass. Slide if attacker has only one option. Forwards attack with speed and make the first play early. Crash the net for rebounds.
1. On whistle D1 get puck behind net, skate to Big Ice and Pass to either F1 or F2.
2. F1-F2 attack 2-1 vs. D2.
3. Coach give a definite time like 10" for the attack then blow the whistle.
4. D2 get a puck from behind the net and pass to either F3 or F4.
5. F3-F4 attack 2-2 vs. D3.
*Continue this flow.
*Game situations up to a 3-2 can be practiced with this drill.
DT100 Continuous 2-1, 2-2 Detroit - Pro
Key Points:
Face the puck. Forwards attack with speed. D stay in the middle and deny F to F pass. Forwards make the first play near the offensive blue line to force the D to make a decision. D delay the play as much as possible.
1. F1 and F2 attack vs D1.
2. F3 and F4 support D1 as far as the hash marks.
3. D2 support F1 and F2 passively from the point.
4. D1 make a breakout pass to F3 or F4.
5. F3-F4 attack D2 in the other direction.
6. F5 and F6 support D2 and D3 support F3 and F4.
7. Continue this flow.
8. Add a D to make it a 2 on 2.
There could be active support with a 2-1 in the neutral zone and a 3-3 at each end. Another option is to combine active and passive support or add dump ins and regroups.
Transition Games: The Missing Link for Effective Practice
I still don't see very many transition games used in practice. These games are much more realistic than situation drills that use many pucks and start with a whistle. These traditional drills are great for introducing a concept or practicing a technique and the logical progression is to put the situation into a one puck transition game where the attackers fight for the rebounds and loose pucks, instead of simply going back to the line-up or getting a new puck on the whistle. The defenders must regain the puck and make a breakout pass. The support from the new players can be passive, active or some players passive and some active. I will start with a 2-1 drill and then the same situation where Detroit plays a 2-1 transition game with passive support and then moves to a 2-2 situation.
Transition games can also be used to teach offensive and defensive team play concepts i.e. A 2-1 with active support creates a 2-1 through the neutral zone and then for a few seconds in the offensive zone. Two new defending forwards join the play from the line-up and F1 helps the D1 low in the zone to make it a low 2-2 and F2 covers the new offensive D who joins the attack. Now it is a 3-3 in the zone. After a goal or a breakout pass the two new forwards now attack the new D 2-1 through the neutral zone and attack the other net and they get support and play a 3-3 at the other end. This repeats itself end to end.
The coach can add players to create situations like a 3-2 through the neutral zone and 5-5 at each end. He can add regroups, or dump-ins which create loose puck situations.

The first video is a demonstration by Wahlsten and Yursinov at an IIHF seminar. They stat with 1-1 and then to practice loose puck situations they dump the puck in. The players then move to a continuous 2 on2.
The second video is a pro camp. The new forwards come in the zone lower and help on loose pucks.
IIHF Seminar.
Pro Prospects
This drill is run by Kalle Kaskinen, who was the asst. coach with this team and the head coach of the U17 team who came here last Christmas and won the U18 Mac's Midget Tournament. Kalle has worked on the ABC program with Juhani Wahlsten and myself for many years. This season he is helping another friend Erkka Westerlund (2006-2014 silver and bronze Olympic head coach) who will be the head coach of Helsinki, Jokerit as they start their first season in the KHL.)

Players wait outside the blue line and the coach changes the situation.
1 – Dump the puck in and start with a 1-1.
2 – Add an offensive player for 2-1.
3 – Defenseman comes in for 2-2.
4 – Add a new attacker for a 3-2.
5 – Three defending forwards come in and defend the 3-5.
*With younger players if I was teaching dzone I would have F1 come in and play a low 3 on 3 and then F2 in the mid-slot and F3 the puck side point.
Looking at the same drill thinking about the offensive attack.
F – Full Length Ladder Skate and Test - Pro
Key Points:
Skate all the way to each line before going the other way. A good practice is to always face the same wall when stopping so you do it each side. At least 4 groups. Can be a fitness test.
1 – First blue line and back.
2 – Red line and back.
3 – Far blue line and back.
4 – End and back.
F - Ladder Fitness Test - Prospects
F - Ladder Skate – Pro
C6 - 2-1 from Corner 1-1 from Point – Pro
Key Points:
Defender must always recognize the most dangerous attacker and deny plays that cross the mid-line. With the goalie it is really a 2 on 2 so expect the goalie to cover half the net. Attackers make quick plays vs. a sliding as opposed to a square goalie and crash the net for rebounds.
Forwards in the corner and at the far point and Defenders wait outside the blue line.
1 – Coach pass to either F1 or F2 in the corner.
2 – D1 play a 2-1 until the puck is out of the scoring area.
3 – Coach whistle and pass to F3 at the far point who attacks 1-1 vs. D1.
4 – Repeat with new players.
*You can run this drill at both ends at once and switch to a 2-1 from the point and 1-1 from the corner.
This is one of the most commonly used drills that I have seen used by pro, junior, international teams around the hockey world. It is usually done 1-1 to a 2-2 but other variations are possible with the same flow. There are 3 video examples. Two with Flames teams from different seasons and one at an NHL prospect camp. The coach can duplicate the same situation in a transition game by having the D join the next rush and the F backcheck but I don't see this done much even though it is more game-like.
This drill has a great flow and transition from offense to defense and visa versa and lots of possibilities to practice skills and game situations:
Instead of defense and forwards have everyone play both by having half the blue defend at one end and the other half at the other. Reds will be opposite. Now everyone practices all off the offensive and defensive skills needed in the game.
Randomly send out 1 or 2 defenders and 1,2 or 3 attackers. Now the situation is different every time and the players have to 'Read and Act' according to the situation. Every numerical situation will be created.
Give a time limit for a rush to score and keep score Red vs. Blue to increase the competitiveness.
To practice loose puck situations practice dump in's which cause the attackers to forecheck and the defenders to break out.
C6 1-1 to 2-2 - D Join F Backcheck – Multiple Examples
Key Points:
D join the attack on the whistle and attacking forwards back check. It is a fight for inside position. No penalties. Important that the forwards touch the red line so F1-D1 are close enough to join the play.
1. Blue D1 pass to Red F1 who skates to the red line and turns back attacking 1-1 vs. D1.
2. On the whistle Red D2 passes to Blue F2 at the other end of the rink.
3. Blue F2 skates to the red line and turns back attacking 1-1 vs Red D2. while Red D1 Joins Red F1 on the attack and White F1 backchecks making it a 2-2.
4. Repeat with Blue D3 passing to Red F3 at original end.
*Situations up to a 3-2 can be practiced. You need at least 8 D and 12 F to practice 3-2 with a 5-5 at each end. With larger number the lineup needs to move up to the blue line and start with a pass in the neutral zone.
Another example with the Flames.
Prospect camp.
C5 Dump-in 3-2 – Pro
Key Points:
Attack quickly and create 2 on 1 situations and shots that make the goalie go post to post. Defend and make it a 3-3 with the goalie making him only cover the strong side of the net.
1 – Start with a dump-in by the coach from the blue line.
2 – One defender be aggressive on the loose puck.
3 – Second defender read the next play. Attackers create 2-1's and triangles.
4 – Attackers outnumber the defenders on loose puck battles.
5 – Defenders must maintain the defensive side.
6 – Coach should set a time limit, i.e. 10-20" to score.
7- Give and go passes are the attackers best weapon.
*Always read, 'should I pressure or contain. As long as the attack stays on one side it is a 3-3 and the goalie is responsible to make strong side saves.
Pro's Practicing
University of Calgary 3-2
Becoming a 360 Degree Player:
I went to a seminar yesterday that had video demo's of puck handling. The only problem was that the players had rigid upper bodies and everything was from the forehand side to straight in front. The backhand side was non-existent.
Here are some videos from Europe that show how to develop loose shoulders and the ability to handle the puck all around the body.
This is Vladimir Yursinov's puck handling warm-up demonstrated by Yashin who was the Russian captain and for NHL MVP. Big moves, loose upper body. Yursinov is recognized as the top skills coach in Europe and more than 60 of his former players have moved onto the NHL. Yursi's teams do this at the start of practice as a warm-up. I saw this when he had me run a checking practice as a guest coach for TPS in Finland. I was lucky enough to coach with him on the Red Bulls staff where he came one week a month to work with the players.
Big Moves Warm-up
The next video of Yursi teaching a sequence that leads to the Ovechkin move.
Yursinov teaching a puck handling sequence to U17-U20 players in Austria.
The third video shows players at the training centre in Vierumaki, Finland handling the puck all around the body.
Off-ice Puck Handling - Finland
The two videos are from Sweden. The first showing how to handle the puck around the body and the next the heel to heel slide like Crosby does to see the game with a 270 degree view. (the more info the better the decisions)
A - Puck Handling 360 Degrees – Sweden

ABC Coding System
My diagrams are coded in the ABC format. This is like a library coding to make it easier to find things. Code designed by IIHF Hall of Fame coach Juhani Wahlsten (3 Olympics, 7 World Championships and former captain of Finland National Team)
A - Skating and individual skill
B - Partner skills
C - Game situation drills
D - Games full and SAG
DT - Transition games
E - Shootouts and contests
F – Fitness skating.
G – Goaltender training.
O – Off-ice training.
T - Teaching drills and games where the coach is controlling the situation and giving instruction on individual skills or team play.
The letter tells what is being worked on. The number behind the letter tells what the area of the ice it is being done in.
A1 – cross ice A100 – cross ice with a puck. (ind. Or skating skills cross-ice and then cross-ice with a puck) A3 – around the rink. A300 – around the rink with a puck. Etc.
The same happens with all the drills and games. i.e.
D – Game situation.
D1 – Full ice. D100 – Full ice with extra players on the side or in the box.
D2 – Cross-ice game. D200 with extra players rotating in.
D3 – one cross-ice game and another game from the goal line to the far blue line. D300 with extra players rotating in.
D4 – one zone game and D400 with extra players.
D5 – A D4 game at each end and a D2 game in the neutral zone. D500 with extra players.
D6 – Full ice with two nets on each goal line making two full ice games at once. D600 with extra players.
D7 – ¼ ice games with two nets on each goal line. D700 extra players rotating in.
D8 – Four games at once with two nets on each goal line and two nets near the red line. D800 extra players. (good to have a hose, boards or rink divider along the red line.) Good game formation with smaller players.
DT - Transition Games are coded in a similar way.
Some examples with video links:
D200 2-2 Shoot Either Net – Pro
C3 1-1 to 2-2 - D Join F Backcheck-Pro
T2-4 D400 Specialty Team Practice - Czech Republic U20
D4 Two Pass - Czech Republic U20
A300 Shoot-Rebound-Walk In-Walk out - Swedish U20
F - B6 2-0 Disguised Skate - Pro
B3 Three Lane Shots - Swiss U20
I have hundreds upon hundreds of drills that I collected before I started using Juuso's coding system and I never go through them looking for a drill because it is tedious and takes forever. Coding material seems like common sense and it is done in almost every industry and for sure in every library but hockey coaches are very traditional. As my first school principal used to say. 'Common sense is a most uncommon thing.'
This drill was posted before with the Czech U17 National Team with Petr Svoboda coaching. The pro's now do it and there are two video clips with them. The Czech go without whistles and the pro's use a whistle. It is a good warm-up drill requiring a lot of agility skating and skills. I mentored the coaches and Petr (NHL defenseman for Toronto) in 2010 and Petr was the only one who spoke English and did all the translating with the HC Dukla Jihlava team which is a city about 90 minutes south of Prague.
B4 1-0 Outside-Middle Shots - Czech U17 and Two Pro
Key Points:
Keep skating, give a target and pass hard and pass while moving. Hit the net and follow the shot. Rebound for the next shooter.
1. All players and pucks are in the middle.
2. One player leave from each side.
3. Player 2 pass to player 1 who circles between the red and blue line.
4. Player 1 skate in and shoot after the third pass.
5. After shooting player 1 circle back and rebound for the next shooter.
6. Alternate sides and player 3 leaves after the first pass.
7. Circle left and right so shots come from both in the middle and the outside lanes.
* The first video demo is the Czech National U17 Team and the next two are with pro players.

The Knole conservation team blog has been reporting how one of their paintings was recently packed up and sent off on loan to Hampton Court Palace. The picture, a portrait by Sir Peter Lely of Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine and Duchess of Cleveland, normally hangs in the Spangled Dresing Room at Knole.
The relative humidity in that room can fluctuate considerably, and therefore the portrait was kept in the more stable environment of Knole's Great Hall to acclimatise for several weeks before going off to the controlled climatic environment of the Hampton Court exhibition rooms. These humidity issues are one of the reasons for the major conservation project currently underway at Knole.
The picture will feature in the exhibition The Wild, the Beautiful and the Damned, exploring the lives and loves of the courtesans and libertines at the English court in the late seventeenth century.
Barbara Villiers became the mistress of King Charles II in 1660 and for some ten years reigned supreme as one of the most glamorous and powerful women at court. The diarist Samuel Pepys called her his 'lovely lady Castlemaine' and penned a heady description of seeing her freshly laundered smocks and petticoats drying in the Privy Garden. The more priggish John Evelyn called her 'the curse of the nation.'
Barbara's influence extended to important political appointments and even foreign policy. She pursued the King relentlessly when she wanted something, but she could also be great fun and, in the words of Antonia Fraser in her biography of Charles II, she had 'great buoyancy of spirit'.
She had at least five children by the King who were all given titles and estates (the current Duke of Grafton is descended from her, for instance). When her role as royal mistress came to an end she went on to have affairs with the rope dancer Jacob Hall, the actors Charles Hart and Cardell Goodman, the playwright William Wycherley and John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marborough.
Visitors to the exhibition may also meet a live 'Barbara Villiers' who will tell them more about life as the King's mistress. The exhibition will run at Hampton Court from 5 April to 30 September 2012.

About Cheryl Jackson, the Project Team Leader
I first started working at the National Archives of Australia in 1987, and keep coming back. My first job here was my first job as a professional Conservator. I finished University on a Wednesday in June 1987 and started at the Archives the following Monday, and I've been working on paper and photographic material ever since! This is my third stint in the lab (after working at the Australian War Memorial, and taking time off for kids) and I've been here for six years so far this time.
About the Lab
The Preservation Lab at the National Archives of Australia Canberra Office is a great place to work.
(Conservation lab staff at work)
The staff in the lab is a mixture of professional conservators, conservation assistants and one conservation chemist. Our work covers several areas all centred around the preservation and conservation of paper and photographic materials.
About our work
The Preservation work we do involves stabilising the material in our care by storing it in archival enclosures in repositories with controlled temperature and humidity levels. We also do a lot of stabilisation work on material required by researchers in the reading room. We do this work so that loose bits of information don't get lost during the transport and handling of records.
(Example of stabilisation treatment – Left: before treatment; Right: after treatment. NAA: A2408, 9/105)
Our Conservation work involves intensive (and very time consuming!) treatments on nationally significant materials. The projects being undertaken in the lab at the moment include copyright exhibits, records relating to Canberra's centenary in 2013, and, of course, the recently discovered drawing "Key to Accompanying Perspective View from Summit of Ainslie" by Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin.
(Detail. NAA: A710, 51 [Competitor number 29 Walter Burley Griffin – Perspective] View from summit of Mount Ainslie [Part D])
We also provide Conservation input to the NAA's exhibition program, giving advice on display methods and parameters, preparing items to go into new exhibitions, and providing changeover objects to go into our existing exhibitions when vulnerable material has been on display for long enough.
("In Safekeeping" – display about Preservation in Memory of a Nation exhibition)
About this blog
This blog will take you through the assessment and treatment of what we call "The Key to Griffin's Canberra" – a recent, nationally significant, addition to the Archives. We hope you'll take this journey with us…

Phillips leads Reds past Brewers 4-3
Brandon Phillips homered and made a spectacular rally-busting play - using his left knee to get a forceout and start a double play - as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Friday night.
Phillips had an RBI single off Yovani Gallardo (3-2) and added a solo homer in the seventh after making a saving play in the top of the inning. With two Brewers aboard, he got to Ryan Braun's grounder up the middle, tagged second base with his left knee while falling down and threw to first for a double play.
The Reds won for the fifth time in seven games. Cincinnati is 14-6 at Great American Ball Park, the most home wins in the majors.
Milwaukee got solo homers from Jean Segura and Braun, but lost for the seventh time in eight games.
Alfredo Simon (3-1) threw two innings in relief of rookie left-hander Tony Cingrani. Aroldis Chapman gave up a run on a wild pitch in the ninth while getting his eighth save in as many chances.
Carlos Gomez went 0 for 4 and grounded into a double play, ending his hitting streak at a career-best 14 games.
Neither Gallardo nor Cingrani lasted more than four innings on a wet night, testing both bullpens' depth. Both were stingy, but Cincinnati's had a one-run lead to hold. Reds relievers allowed three hits and four walks in five innings.
The Brewers gave up eight hits and nine walks.
The Reds pulled ahead 2-0 in the third on Phillips' two-out RBI single and Jay Bruce's double off the glove of Norichika Aoki in right field. Bruce improved to .419 against Gallardo.
Zack Cozart's RBI single in the fourth put the Reds up 3-2. Gallardo gave up five hits and five walks in his four innings, throwing 100 pitches.
Cingrani has relied on his fastball to retire batters, getting a lot of strikeouts while piling up high pitch counts. He's also given up a lot of homers - six in five starts, tied with Bronson Arroyo for the team lead.
Segura led off the fourth with a homer that barely eluded the top of Bruce's glove in right field and bounced off the top of the wall before continuing into the stands. Braun homered to right field on the next pitch, giving him eight overall and a season-high 11-game hitting streak.
Cingrani lasted only four innings, giving up five hits and two walks while throwing 85 pitches. It was the third time in the Reds' last four games that their starter lasted five innings or less.
The Reds activated catcher Ryan Hanigan off the disabled list before the series opener. Hanigan, the Reds' best defensive catcher, had been sidelined since April 21 by a strained left oblique. Hanigan had a pair of singles and made a diving catch behind the plate on Segura's sacrifice bunt attempt.

Grilled Squid With Arugula and Grapefruit Vinaigrette From 'Extra Virgin: Recipes and Love From Our Tuscan Kitchen'
I love the idea of this salad from Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos' new cookbook, Extra Virgin: Recipes and Love from our Tuscan Kitchen. Charred calamari, tart grapefruit, crunchy fennel, and peppery arugula seem like a winning combination. Sadly, it didn't quite come together for me.
All the components were there: sweetness, bitterness, acid, a little heat. But the balance just wasn't there. For one thing, there's simply too much calamari. The other components were overwhelmed the squid's assertive flavor and texture. And, if you use all the dressing as directed, you'll end up with more soup than salad. Finally, Mazar and Corcos suggest that it serves four to six as a main course, but I honestly can't imagine it satisfying more than two.
In light of the problems I encountered, I'd recommend doubling the grapefruit, fennel, and arugula, and dressing the mix to taste. Luckily, it's a relatively simple and straightforward tweak to execute, and will land you with the appealing, refreshing salad this dish deserves to be.
Why I picked this recipe: It has the potential to be a bright, filling salad that would work year-round.
What worked: The concept. It's a beautiful salad, in theory.
What didn't: The execution. Too much squid, too much dressing, and not enough of everything else.
Suggested tweaks: Fill out the salad by doubling the fruit and veg components. Also, if your grapefruit skews sweet, as mine did, a squeeze or two of lemon juice in the dressing will work wonders.
- Yield:Serves 4 to 6
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Salad
- Grated zest of 1 lemon plus the juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- Pinch of hot red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 pound calamari, cleaned, tentacles removed, and bodies sliced into 1-inch rings
- 1 pink grapefruit
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 bulb fennel
- 2 cups baby arugula
- Grapefruit Viniagrette
- 1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
To make the salad: Preheat a grill to high heat, or prepare a charcoal grill until the coals are bright red.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Add the calamari and toss. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
Supreme the grapefruit and squeeze the membranes over a medium bowl. (See note on supreming, below.) Reserve the juices for the vinaigrette (see below).
Remove the calamari from the marinade and skewer them. Season the calamari with salt and pepper to taste and grill them about 2 minutes per side, until slightly charred and opaque. (You can also use a hot cast iron skillet on the stove to cook the calamari. Shake the excess marinade from the calamari and sear on each side for 2 minutes.)
Using a mandoline, shave the fennel bulb into thin slices. In a large bowl, combine the calamari, fennel, arugula, and grapefruit segments.
To make the grapefruit vinaigrette: To the bowl with the membrane-squeezed grapefruit juice, whisk in the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the vinaigrette to the large bowl with the calamari and toss. Season to taste and serve immediately.
IMPORTANTE! Supreming is a way of extracting the juiciest, purest segments from a fruit, and an easy technique to master. Using a sharp knife, trim the top and bottom of the orange (by either a 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch). Do this over a bowl to capture the juices. Then, carefully cut away the peel, making sure to remove the pith just under the peel as well. (Do this by cutting from the top down.) Then, remove the wedges by cutting as close to the white membrane as possible, through the fruit to the center, then following through along the very next membrane. This should result in nice, juicy-looking segments.

Dusky Pigmy Rattlesnake
Scientific name: Sistrurus miliarius barbouri (GLOYD 1935)
* Currently accepted name
* scientific names used through time
- Crotalus miliarius – LINNAEUS 1766
- Crotalophorus miliaris – GRAY 1825
- Caudisona miliaria – FITZINGER 1826
- Crotalophorus miliarius – BAIRD & GIRARD 1853
- Candisona [sic] miliaria – COUES & YARROW 1878
- Sistrurus miliarius – GARMAN 1883
- Sistrurus miliarius barbouri – GLOYD 1935
- Sistrurus miliaris [sic] – BÖHME 2005
Description: Average adult size is 12-24 inches (30-61 cm), record is 31 inches (79 cm). This is a small snake, but thick for its size. The top of the triangular shaped head is covered with 9 large scales. The body color is light to dark gray. A longitudinal row of black or charcoal, transverse blotches disrupts a reddish brown stripe running down the middle of the back. Dark spots on the side line up with the blotches. The tail is slender and ends in a small rattle. The belly is heavily mottled with black and white. The pupil of the eye is vertical (cat-like), and there is a deep facial pit between the nostril and eye. Juvenile coloration is like adults, but the tip of the tail is yellowish-green.
A. Top of the head (notice the large plate&mdash like scales on the top of the head)
B. Underside of the head (chin and throat)
C. Front (face view) of the head
D. Side of the head (notice the facial pit between the eye and the nostril)
E. Keeled scales
F. Elongated scales below the tail (subcaudal scales) are typically undivided
Range: The Dusky Pigmy Rattlesnake occurs throughout Florida, excluding the Florida Keys. Outside of Florida, it occurs north to eastern North Carolina and west to eastern Texas and southern Missouri.
Habitat: Common in lowland pine flatwoods, prairies, around lakes and ponds, and along the borders of many freshwater marshes and cypress swamps. Possibly the habitat in which Dusky Pigmy Rattlesnakes are most frequently encountered, at least in southern Florida, is the banks of canals running through marshes and prairies.
Comments: VENOMOUS The Dusky Pigmy Rattlesnake has a reputation for protecting itself. Its bite, while usually not life threatening, can be painful and result in the loss of a digit. Some rare cases have been fatal. It feeds primarily on frogs and mice. The rattle sounds like an insect buzzing.
Comparison with other species: The Eastern Hognose Snake (Heterodon platirhinos) and Southern Hognose Snake (Heterodon simus) are occasionally confused with the Dusky Pigmy Rattlesnake. However, it is easy to distinguish between the harmless Hognose Snakes and the Dusky Pigmy Rattlesnake. The Hognose Snakes have both an upturned nose (rostral scale) and round pupils, and lack both facial pits and rattles.

Stevens Researcher Awarded ONR Grant to Advance Understanding of Planing Hull Hydrodynamics and Design
Dr. Len Imas applies computational modeling to investigate hydrodynamics of "ultra-deep vee" hulls.
Hoboken, NJ, September 25, 2013 --(
)-- Dr. Len Imas of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology has been awarded a grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for the investigation of ultra-deep vee planing hull hydrodynamics. This research will entail numerical simulation and comparison of computational results to measurement from full-scale sea trials to improve the understanding of the fluid dynamics of planing boats with an ultra-deep vee hull, which provides strong riding and handling capabilities in a sea-way.
"The engineering of more agile and efficient hulls can provide tremendous advantages for Navy and civilian vessels, giving them enhanced capabilities to maintain control at high speeds in severe conditions," says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. "Continued innovation requires profound understanding of the various forces acting upon a ship in water, and experts in computational dynamics like Dr. Imas are providing transformative insights."
Planing boats have hulls that take advantage of hydrodynamic lift. At low speeds, buoyancy is the dominant upward force opposing gravity that allows a vessel to float. Once a vessel with a planing hull achieves enough speed, the water pushes against it with a high enough pressure resulting in a force known as hydrodynamic lift. When such a lift force is the dominant upward force, the role buoyancy plays in keeping the hull afloat is reduced. As speeds increase, the vessel rises further in the water and minimizes resistance, enabling rapid and efficient travel through calm water. One problem with this design has been that a substantial seaway can make it difficult to maintain directional stability, so a planing boat may need to operate more slowly in rough conditions. The deep vee hull is a variation on this design with a wide, V-shaped rear converging at a forward point. This design helps balance the concerns of drag reduction and handling capability, with a front that "cuts" through the waves in order to maintain control and minimize drag, as well as a flatter rear section that enables planing.
Although the deep vee design has provided substantial benefits, it still has its disadvantages, one of which being that it takes more power from the engine to achieve planing. According to Dr. Alan Blumberg, Director of the Davidson Laboratory, "Researchers must improve the understanding of the relationship between hull geometry and the hydrodynamic behavior of ultra-deep vee hulls in order to help drive further design innovation. Dr. Imas' methodology of combining computational hydrodynamics with data collected from prototype sea trials could be crucial to the improved understanding of fluid dynamics around unconventional high speed surface craft concepts based on this important design."
Len Imas, Associate Professor of Ocean Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology, holds a BS and MEng. in Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a PhD. in Numerical Hydrodynamics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology . His interests are in basic and applied research involving hydrodynamics and computational fluid mechanics related to topics ranging from nonlinear free-surface turbulent flows, to vortex induced vibrations, to high-speed surface and sub-surface marine vehicles, and to high-performance racing yachts. His specialization is in the development and utilization of computational fluid mechanics and optimization methods in design analysis applications involving marine hydrodynamics and low speed aerodynamics.
The Davidson Laboratory at Stevens was founded in 1935 and remains one of the world's leading facilities for naval architecture research. The laboratory's renowned towing tank complex is 320 feet long, 16 feet wide and 8 feet deep. With recently upgraded instrumentation, glass walls for viewing and photography, and public access improvements, the facility is vital to the Laboratory's contributions to fundamental and applied research in ship design, hydrodynamics and ocean engineering.

LAS VEGAS – Leonard Garcia still has a job, and perhaps emphatically so, despite another loss.
Garcia (15-10-1 MMA, 2-6 UFC) on Saturday dropped a split decision to Max Holloway (7-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC 155, his fourth straight setback. But after the fight, UFC President Dana White said Garcia's job is secure.
"Sean Shelby, one of our matchmakers, came to me during the fights tonight and said, 'Dana, I don't want to cut this guy,'" White said. "And I said, 'There's no way in hell we're cutting Leonard Garcia.'"
The support from White and Shelby comes on the heels of yet another exciting fight for Garcia, whose swing-for-the-fences-style has long made him a fan favorite.
Three straight UFC losses typically gets a fighter a pink slip. A fourth is almost a guarantee, though in the recent past exceptions have been made beyond just Garcia. Dan Hardy lost four straight fights, but had the support of White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta because of his style of always coming to fight.
"I always say it: The guys who go and lay it all out on the line, those are the guys we like to have," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "Believe me, there's a lot of guys that love to do that push-against-the-cage s— all night that I'd love to cut on a win."
Garcia said he believed he did enough to win on Saturday in the fight with Holloway, which took place on the preliminary card of UFC 155 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The fight streamed on Facebook before additional prelims on FX and a main card on pay-per-view.
"I think I did enough to win and it was a good fight, but I can't let it go to the judges," Garcia said. "I've been fighting long enough to know that. Max is a skilled fighter, but I feel I was able to match him or be better than him in every part of the game. I feel I got the most takedowns, I had better octagon control and he doesn't hit hard, so I was able to stand in there with him and I think that should have been enough to get the victory."
Garcia, who trains at Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA in Albuquerque, N.M., has had a rough run the past four years or so. Since a first-round "Knockout of the Night" win over Jens Pulver at WEC 36 in November 2008, Garcia has gone 3-7-1.
His three wins in that stretch all have been by split decision, and split calls over Nam Phan and Chan Sung Jung were controversial, to say the least. Both led to eventual rematches, both of which he lost in 2011.
But for now, it appears Garcia will get one more shot.

Since American NHL leader troll Gary Bettman make with hockey lockout (remind you of Putin, da? Except fearless leader Putin like hockey, ho ho ho!), Evgeni Malkin sign with Metallurg. Metallurg play in Magnitorogorsk, hearty industrial city in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia. Malkin from Magnitorogorsk, Magnitorogorsk best. Metallurg third best Kontinental Hockey League team last year. (Still best.)
Malkin joined in Magnitorogorsk by fellow Magnitorogorskian Sergei Gonchar. Sad fact looking from this news is Malkin и Gonchar making no thoughts for NHL season. Malkin и Gonchar sign through 2013, probably make for hockey play in KHL no matter what monkey-бизнес happen in America. Here I make with AP report, and run it through the Googleiev Transklatiov and back for to make more sense:
NHL stars Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar signed with Metallurg KHL after the NHL lockout entered its players.
Metallurgist based in the Russian industrial city of Magnitogorsk, said in a statement Sunday that it has signed two Russian players in the season 2012-13.
NHL officially locked his players early on Sunday morning after the collective bargaining agreement between the parties expired.
Malkin, 26-year-old center with the Pittsburgh Penguins, is the reigning MVP NHL. Gonchar, 38, an advocate with the Ottawa Senators.
Though the club has not provided their contracts, he said that they will follow the rules of the KHL for signing NHL players during the lockout. Under these rules, the KHL team can sign a maximum of three NHL players over their limit of 25.
CHL also sets the ceiling for salaries NHL players to a maximum of 65 percent of what they earn under their NHL deals. Malkin has two years and $ 16.5 million remaining on his contract with Pittsburgh. Gonchar Ottawa one year and $ 5.5 million left.
Gary Bettman can дроссель.

Oral Apremilast Achieves Statistical Significance for the Primary Endpoint of ACR20 in the First Pha
Oral Apremilast Achieves Statistical Significance for the Primary Endpoint of ACR20 in the First Phase III Study (PALACE-1) in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Apremilast significantly improves signs and symptoms of PsA in DMARDs-failure patients, including biologic-treatment-failure patients
Apremilast monotherapy demonstrates robust improvement across primary and secondary endpoints
Highest response demonstrated in biologic-naïve patient population
No significant safety signals were observed and tolerability improved over phase II program
BOUDRY, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Celgene International Sàrl, a subsidiary of Celgene Corporation (NAS: CELG) today presented the results from PALACE-1, the Company's first Phase III study in psoriatic arthritis, at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
The company previously announced statistical significance for the primary endpoint of ACR20 for patients receiving apremilast in the PALACE-1 study, the first of three pivotal phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled studies evaluating the Company's novel, oral small-molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) in patients with psoriatic arthritis who had received oral disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and/or biologic therapy and/or had failed on an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agent. Apremilast treatment in this study was used alone or in combination with oral DMARDs. PALACE-1 is the first phase III study demonstrating statistical significance in a psoriatic arthritis patient population that included both prior biologic exposure (23.6%) and biologic failures (9.3%).
In the study, apremilast demonstrated statistically significant and higher ACR20 responses at week 16 in patients receiving either apremilast 20 or 30 mg BID monotherapy (31.5% and 50.8% respectively vs. 10.5% for placebo; P<0.05 and P≤0.0001), with no meaningful advantage to adding oral DMARDs to apremilast. A higher ACR20 response at week 16 was also demonstrated in biologic-naïve subjects receiving apremilast 30 mg BID monotherapy compared with placebo (59% vs. 12%; P<0.005).
"The results of this first phase III trial of apremilast are encouraging for both physicians and patients as a potentially effective and safe oral therapy for psoriatic arthritis patients," said Arthur F. Kavanaugh, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of California, San Diego and Director of the Center for Innovative Therapy at the University.
Across the entire study population, statistically significant changes in reducing signs and symptoms of PsA, as measured by the primary endpoint of ACR20 at week 16, were achieved for patients receiving apremilast 30 mg BID vs. placebo (41.01% vs. 19.4%; P≤0.0001). This was further supported by a robust and consistent response (P≤0.0001) across all arthritis-related secondary endpoints, including ACR50, ACR70, DAS-28, good or moderate EULAR response achievement and CDAI at week 24. Statistically significant results were also demonstrated in measures of physical function (HAQ-DI, SF-36 physical function domain score) at week 16 (P=0.0015 and P=0.0049 respectively) and these results were maintained at week 24.
The overall safety profile was consistent with previous experiences in the phase II program. Importantly, no opportunistic infections (including TB) or lymphoma were observed through week 24, and there was no increase in risk of cardiovascular events. Apremilast was generally well tolerated. The majority of AEs (>95%) were mild or moderate, with serious AEs and discontinuations due to AEs similar across all treatment arms.
An NDA submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, based on the combined PALACE program for PsA, is expected in the first half of 2013. The sNDA submission for psoriasis is expected to follow in the second half of 2013. A combined MAA submission in Europe is also planned for the second half of 2013.
Top-line positive results from two pivotal randomized, placebo-controlled phase III studies of apremilast in PsA (PALACE 2 and PALACE 3) were released in September 2012. Taken together, the PALACE program is comprised of the most comprehensive psoriatic arthritis studies to date intended for regulatory submission. Results from PSA-001, the phase II study of apremilast in psoriatic arthritis, were recently published online in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.34580/abstract).
In addition, two large, pivotal global studies of apremilast in more than 1,200 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis (ESTEEM 1 and 2) are ongoing with data expected beginning by the end of this year. Results from PSOR-005, a phase IIb dose-range study, were recently published in The Lancet (http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60642-4/fulltext).
A randomized, placebo-controlled phase III study (POSTURE) of apremilast in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) began enrolling patients in April 2012. AS, a debilitating disease, which may cause fusion of the spine, arthritis, inflammation of the eye and damage to the heart affects approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S. and Europe. The trial will randomize approximately 450 patients to receive 20mg or 30mg apremilast, or placebo BID. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving an ASAS 20 score at week 16.
These results are from an investigational phase III study. Apremilast is not approved for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis.
About PALACE 1
PALACE-1 is one of three pivotal phase III multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies with 2 active-treatment groups. Approximately 500 subjects were randomized 1:1:1 to receive either apremilast 20 mg BID, 30 mg BID, or identically-appearing placebo for 24 weeks, with a subsequent extension in which all patients are treated with apremilast.
The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients in each treatment group who achieved the American College of Rheumatology criteria for 20% improvement (ACR20) compared to baseline at week 16. Secondary endpoints include other measures of signs and symptoms, physical function and patient-reported outcomes.
About Apremilast
Apremilast, an oral small-molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), works intracellularly to modulate a network of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. PDE4 is a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-specific PDE and the dominant PDE in inflammatory cells. PDE4 inhibition elevates intracellular cAMP levels, which in turn down-regulates the inflammatory response by modulating the expression of TNF-α, IL-23, and other inflammatory cytokines. Elevation of cAMP also increases anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10.
About Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is a painful, chronic inflammatory disease associated with the skin condition psoriasis. More than a million people in the U.S. and Europe are affected by this arthritic condition. Up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis eventually develop psoriatic arthritis, which involves joint inflammation and can lead to joint destruction. In addition to psoriatic skin lesions, common symptoms of psoriatic arthritis include pain, stiffness and swelling in several to many joints, as well as the spine. Patients often experience psoriasis on average for 10 years before the onset of joint symptoms, and many psoriatic arthritis patients go undiagnosed.

The House : Corporations Tax
The House rejected almost 2 to 1 an amendment in behalf of a minimum tax on corporations, which would have been used to lower tax rates or trim the deficit. The vote was 142 for and 283 against. The amendment was offered to the 1986-88 budget resolution (H Con Res 152), which was passed and sent to conference with the Senate. It lacked teeth in that it only directed the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee to report minimum-tax legislation to the floor.
Some members who favor such a tax voted against the amendment on grounds it was out of place as part of the budget resolution.
Sponsor Mary Rose Oakar (D-Ohio) said members should vote for the amendment "if you believe that it is wrong for a person who makes $12,000 a year to pay more taxes between 1981-83 than General Electric, which earned $6.5 billion in profits and received $283 million in refunds."
Opponent Bill Frenzel (R-Minn.) said: "This amendment is actually pernicious. I doubt the authors understand it, but they are calling for new taxes of about $250 billion . . . and would call for a tripling of the corporate income tax in the next calendar year."
Members voting yes favored the amendment.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) August 05, 2013
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently announced that DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. has issued an Urgent Medical Device Recall for one of its popular hip implant components, the LPS Lower Extremity Dovetail Intercalary component. This DePuy recall has been issued due to the component's propensity to fracture. While DePuy issued its recall of this component on July 11, 2013, as of August 1, 2013, the FDA elevated this DePuy recall to a Class I recall status – the most serious type of recall that can be issued – due to the likelihood of alleged serious injury or death associated with these malfunctioning DePuy hip implant components.
According to the FDA's DePuy recall announcement, the recalled LPS hip implant component can fracture under "normal physiologic loads while walking." This means that it does not take a lot of weight on these components in order to increase the likelihood that they will break. Patients with the highest risk of experiencing an LPS hip implant fracture include those who weigh more than 200 pounds and/or who are highly active individuals.
In the event that the LPS Lower Extremity Dovetail Intercalary component does fracture, patients will likely experience severe hip pain and immediate loss of hip function. In most cases of the component fracturing, patients will need to undergo risky revision surgery to remove the broken component. Additionally, patients who experience a component fracture will typically also suffer from serious nerve injuries and may even lose the leg connected to the fractured device.
[fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm363505.htm August 2013]
Wright & Schulte, LLC is an experienced product liability law firmv defending the rights of those who have sustained serious injuries after using defective products. We encourage those who believe they have sustained DePuy hip implant complications to speak with our knowledgeable lawyers by visiting yourlegalhelp.com or by calling 1-800-399-0795.
As part of this DePuy hip implant recall, DePuy is providing medical professionals with a template letter to help them notify their patients who may be at risk of a component fracture, as well as to inform patients about the possible signs that a component fracture has taken place. Additionally, medical professionals and distributors have been warned to immediately stop using the recalled lots of the LPS components, which include 130896, 132131, 132133, 209461, 209466, 219843, 232972, 295965, 310189, 336843, 349283, 352878, 374125, 379089, A1TAR1 and A2AGN1. While DePuy has not recommended revision surgery or extensive follow-up medical care for patients who are not displaying symptoms of a possible component fracture, for those who are, DePuy recommends immediate medical care to prevent patients from developing potentially life-threatening complications.
[fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm363452.htm August 2013]
This is not the first DePuy Hip recall. In August 2010, DePuy voluntarily recalled its Metal-On-Metal ASR hip implants due to reports from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales that these devices had a failure rate of about 13 percent within five years of the DePuy Hip implantation. In 2011, however, this registry updated its findings on DePuy ASR hip implants, warning the public that more than 33 percent of DePuy ASR hip implants would fail within five years of implantation.

Jayson Lusk Presents Research from "The Food Police"
Jayson Lusk, Oklahoma State University, visited campus on Oct. 15 to present research from his book "The Food Police." He shared some often-heard comments about today's food environment:
We live in a "toxic food environment" and "Americans have a national eating disorder."
The prescription often offered is for consumers to buy local, organic food. Lusk says it is more expensive to produce food without mass technology. He examined the following:
Are local foods good for the environment?
Are local foods good for the economy?
We should promote local foods because they are healthier.
Lusk's conclusion is that today's food is of a higher quality and safer than food from years ago. He says, "We seem to have forgotten the benefits of mass food production."
