World Championship: second game also drawn
Update: press conference video added
In the second game of the World Championship Match Viswanathan Anand started with 1.d4 and in a very complicated Nimzo-Indian the players agreed on another draw at move 32. We have photos and the game with comments - a video with the press conference will follow later.
The second day here at the Art & Exhibition Hall was much less hectic than yesterday. It's logical that all media that are remotely interested want at least to cover the start of such an important match, and in that sense a second game is of course much less important. However, apart from feeling slightly less nervous perhaps, it doesn't really make a difference for the players if they're entering the beautiful stage and take their seats under the theater spotlight to begin their first, second or seventh game - it's all part of the big match that's so very important for both players.
About half an hour before the start of the game, the familiar opening guessing started in the press room, and probably in many places elsewhere:
- "What do you think, a Petroff?"
- "Yeah, sure, probably a quick draw again."
- "Not but that's too obvious, Kramnik will have prepared something else, like against Kasparov."
- "Or maybe Anand won't even go for 1.e4; he's played 1.d4 a few times, right?"
And then everybody went downstars to witness the start of the second game, and it turned out that the last person was right.
Like yesterday we're happy to present IM Merijn van Delft again, who has followed the game during the day here in Bonn and shares his thoughts of game 2:
An old line from the Nimzo-Indian S?ɬ§misch Variation leading to a complicated, queenless middlegame
Here's our playlist of videos. A video of the second game press conference will be added as soon as possible.
John: If Anand/Kramnik had 2.5 hours for the 40 moves (as Fisher had), I'm sure they would have played further than the 32 moves. But they didn't: they had only 2 hours and they were both in new territory very early on. The problem was that the position was too complex and time was short, and so Anand did not take chances. Fisher is not a fan of making inaccurate blitz moves to make time control - that's why Fisher suggested a new type of clock that he thought would prevent the scramble to make time control. If Fisher saw this draw he would have said that they need more time, not that they should scramble and make inaccurate moves.
Well, I was disapointed with the draw, at least at the time when it was suggested.
And, agree until a certain point wit the previous criticisms on this draw offer.
But, if you think about this as also a fight of personalities, i would say that
Kramnik's draw offer was the best "move" in the game since, as Vassillios said,
it gave Anand a crucial dilemma.
You are talking rubbish Vassilios. Kramnik did nothing wrong in a moral sense.
Theres is absolutely nothing wrong wih making a draw offer in your opponents time trouble. If You keep on making draw offers then its a different storry.

I agree with Pure Logic. And in my opinion, considering the small percentage of decisive games in matches at this level, Anand didn't do anything wrong accepting the draw offer. Why risk the game, and possibly the match, if the position is complicated and you don't have enough time to assess it correctly? There are still plenty of games to be played.

Everyone is saying Anand was much better/missed a big chance etc.
But does anyone have any improvements or analysis?

Maybe Vassilios is talking rubbish, but his remark does remind us that a draw offer may be used not only to seek peace but also to provoke and intensify the struggle and to test the confidence and will of the opponent. The real intention behind Kramnik's draw offer in game two is not clear.
Vassilios certainly has a point. The existence of the draw might well be one of the most important reasons why it's so difficult to get a bigger audience interested in the game. He formulated it quite radically and then obvious a lot of people won't agree with him.

Draw is a normal part of the game of Chess. Many draws are a much harder fight than some wins by 1 or 2 move blunders!
If public don't like that, they should go watch football or something else that they like.

This is not the first time Kramnik offers a draw in this way.
I think Kramnik, who is an expert in drawing games, has also mastered the art of offering draws. His draw offers come at unusual moments, for example often when he is Black, he has (or had) a slightly inferior position and his offer implies "ok, I have equalized now", but it can also imply "now is your chance for a draw, because afterwards I might play for a win".
In his match against Kasparov he offered the draw twice in the inferior position of the endgame (games 3 and 8, both times it was a draw, but normally he should have waited for Kasparov to offer).
Actually I remember some years ago in a super tournament he was black against Anand and the following happened: (I remember it only vaguely)
Kramnik offers a draw.
Anand plays a move and offers a draw(!).
Kramnik: "But you are already being offered a draw".
Anand:"Yes, but since I am playing white, I should be the one who offers the draw" (!)
And of course Topalov accused him of an "unethical" draw offer in 2006, because Topalov believed he had a better position and because Kramnik was leading 2-0 in the match.
Well, I just prefer that position being played until at least the time control over some draw offer psychology.
Pure logic, I've deeply enjoyed your insightful comments :-)
I agree that a slightly slower rate of play would increase the quality of games, but in an age where adjournments are no longer an option, the current limit of some 7 or 8 hours of play cannot be pushed any further without harming the players' health and ability to stay concentrated. So why not adopt a rate of 1:30 for 40 moves, 0:30 for 20 moves and 0:30 for the rest of the game, but with a 45 second increment from move 1 ? This wouldn't make the games significantly longer or shorter, but it would avoid extreme cases of time trouble (which can get much worse than in game 2, by the way) and discourage timetrouble-related draw offers.
Matches of 16 or 20 games would also be better than 12, even if this means we have to accept a few more draws in between brilliant games (think of the Karpov-Kasparov matches).
And last but not least, an undecided outcome should lead to a rematch. I could still live with a rapid tiebreak, but blitz games and especially a sudden death game don't have that much in common with classical chess.
Let there be larger audiences for televised rapid and blitz events, take chess to every primary school, but please don't make boxers of such fine minds as Kramnik's and Anand's, and if possible show the sponsors in a less sexist and more interesting way than by having 4 girls smile silently during some 15 consecutive press conferences.
Why does chess have to be reduced to a sport, a science, an art, an educational tool or a game when it is exactly the combination of all this that makes it unique ? (Of course I understand that you focus on its sporting aspect.)
I agree with you that many draws are a much harder fight than some wins by 1 or 2 move blunders. Let organizers be free to invite whom they want and to give higher money prizes for a win, but let's not distort the scoring system by imitating football.

Hello, I am a GM and would like to express my opinion regarding draws.
I think that draw offers should be banned at chess. You can disturb your opponents concentation with them, he can disturb yours, particularly when you are in time trouble. It is bad for spectators, sponsors, everyone.
There are some ramifications that should be made regarding the 50 move rule, it should be extended in some cases, decreased in others, so more chesswise arbiters and regulations are required.
I think Kramnik's draw offer belongs to the category of particularly disturbing draw offers and he took advantage of the stupid chess rules to present Anand with a crucial dilemma. Indeed, from my own experience it is very hard for the recipient of the draw offer to recover and readjust to the chess situation when he is in time pressure.The fact that Anand accepted the draw should not drive us to the conclusion that Kramnik's gesture is justifiable in a moral sense. He just took advantage of the existing stupid rules, it is as simple as that.
Many people say that chess is a tiring sport and that draws are needed as a conservation of energy. I would say to them: If you don't have stamina, do something else. Chess is above else a sport, and we should finally see its best side.
John - I got your point, it's just that I was amused by the fact that you used Fischer as an example of a player who didn't "walk away" - figuratively - when that is exactly what he did so often - literally: the Reshevsky-Fischer match, Sousse 1967, Spassky-Fischer game 2, not to mention the Fischer-Karpov match.
John: "...chess is the only sport that, at a crucial and interesting point, the players just walk away. Say what you want about Fischer, he was crazy, nuts, psychotic, etc. But this game 2 is a disgrace to what Fischer tried to bring to chess: a fierce, take-no-prisoners competition..."
You mean like the game 2 in his WC match? Talk about players just walking away...
R. Mutt: my post was not meant to be a blanket defense of Fischer, i thought i pointed that out. Look at the 20 games of that 1972 match. How many draws in a complex position do you see agreed to? I'll tell you in case you werent alive at the time: ZERO. Sure there were draws, but all of them were fought to the known conclusion..

Mark: You speak out of my heart! I totally agree with your thoughts!
Kramnik is not going to play the Exchange slav again.
Kramnik makes a pretty confident impression. He's not afraid to sacrifice material for the initiative, even when his opponent surprised him in the opening. Anand on the other hand looked a bit feeble; that fact that he was actually better in this game but still accepted a draw, seems to confirm this. I think Anand will switch to 1.e4 pretty soon.

annand's 2nd game opening choice was suspiciously carlsenesque; anti-computer- bishop pair, safe long-term positional advantage approach
I agree with Arne, 1.d4 is a good choice against kramnik but it wont do anand any good if he is so uncomfortable with the positions that he has to spend too much time finding the right plans. (if that was indeed the problem...it could also be that he is simply not in his greatest form. but in that case playing systems you know well is probably also to great help.)
@nony, I dont think 25 years old makes you a kid...he was a "young man" in 1995.

It is time for the Russian establishment to move aside. Time for changes, new light, new times. Go Anand!
5 years 6 months ago
Once in a while i look at the girls when bored with the analysis discussed by the GMs to refresh my mind. Good idea to put them there to neutralized the views.
In general, people have been criticizing Anand for accepting the draw offer.
However, I am not sure that is correct.
It appears to me that at the time of the peace offer, Kramnik was going up
and Anant had already seen that he was not as good as he thought he was.
I have no guess of what would happened if they have played the reaming 8 moves until time control.
Actually, it was pretty simple what happened. Anand had a better position when he accepted the draw. However, he had little time on his clock and to win from that position he would have to navigate some very complicated variations against one of the best players in the world. Kramnik had more time on his clock and he had been able to find some interesting defensive resources, but if Anand played accurately till he reached time control, Kramink could be in big trouble. So, from both sides draw was a good option since they are not yet desperate to win.
I think those who think Anand's accepting a draw shows some kind of weakness are not looking at things logically and objectively. When Kramnik did Nd7 instead of 0-0, the game was most likely out of Anand's preparation. BTW, if the game had followed Anand's preparation, there was no chance in hell Anand would be in time trouble. So obviously both of them were dealing with a completely new situation on the board - OK Anand had slight advantage because he got the ball rolling with d4 and later f3. I think the correct way to look at the game is that both are equally matched with a slight edge to Anand because he had the guts to go into completely new territory and was able to obtain a superior position. Kramnik needs to step up in the next game and come up with something more than what he did in the first game. If all of his white games are going to be like the first, then it is pretty clear that Anand is going to win this championship.
yes in a sense you are correct, "Pure Logic". But you seem to think that it is likely many more of anands white games will look like this. Why? The main point among those that say Anand should have played on is that he missed an important opportunity, *because* he might not get many of those unclear tactical positions. he only has 5 more white games, it really isnt that much. suppose anand loses one black game, then he needs to win two white (I think you?Ǭ¥d have to realisticly calculate the match like that). then if Kramnik, "prepared to the teeth", manages to equalize in four of his black games, it will be a draw, maybe a loss if Anand didnt manage to win the white where he had an advantage,
but no one is (correctly) saying that he was -stupid- to accept the draw offer, just mildly asking what he expects from this match, and consider how this draw and way of play affects his chances.
5 years 6 months ago
Anand played a great opening, but needs to bring home the bacon when he gets such positions, or he won't win this match. Had the positions been reversed, I believe Kramnik could well have squeezed out a win.
Ya know, these players need to grow some you-know-what. Play for a darned win. It's a disgrace that chess is the only sport that, at a crucial and interesting point, the players just walk away.
Say what you want about Fischer, he was crazy, nuts, psychotic, etc. But this game 2 is a disgrace to what Fischer tried to bring to chess: a fierce, take-no-prisoners competition. To a slightly lesser extent, Kasparov did too. Perhaps that's why THOSE guys are better than these guys.
Make up all the excuses you want: time trouble, "why take chances" (geez, why are you even playing the game if yo don't want to take chances), play-it-safe, but the plain fact is such games should be required to be played to conclusion.
5 years 6 months ago
terrible terrible Anand, not many pple get such chances against Kramnik and let it slip
5 years 6 months ago
Not all draws are equal, especially in a World championship match. This draw is more of a victory to Kramnik than the first draw was to Anand. In my opinion, this draw is a harbinger of bad outcome for Anand. Kramnik clearly showed a great deal of fight by playing sharp moves (e.g. 21. ... Ndf6), inspite of the surprise choice of 1.d4 employed by Anand. Also, the fact that Anand was running into time trouble towards the end is indicative of his weak nerves.
5 years 6 months ago
There are still 10 games to go, so it's too soon to say for certain what game 2 means. It is interesting that Anand is obviously prepared to try some unusual things to win, but Kramnik is equal to that task. Hard to say what may happen in such a short match. Makes me think of Fischer's point that someone may get lucky in a short match; better to test who's the stronger player in a long match.
5 years 6 months ago
I think Kram did well as Black, but the fact is that Anand got him in a tight spot and even a small mistake would have been fatal for Kramnik. Anand is mentally very tough (in 1995 against Kasparov he was still a kid, but this is a much older, much tougher Anand). Anand has won many tournaments in which he lost a game only to bounce back later. As long as Anand keeps pushing Kramnik and getting Kramnik into these tight spots, sooner or later he will make a breakthrough. Kramnik on the other hand still has to show that he can get Anand into a tight spot. Anand seemed to have a pretty easy time in the first game. If that's the kind of stuff Kramnik is going to play with White, he's in big trouble.
The girls stand where in lesser tournaments a demo board used to be...
Logically and objectively, since the over-all probability of the outcome was almost certainly not exactly 50:50, to agree to the draw must have been a mistake for one of them.
Of course, human beings know fear, and like to have complete control, and it's understandable neither wanted to take the risk of losing by the lottery of time-trouble in such an important event. But objective logic says one of them should have played on.
Well peter, who cares about a 'bigger audience' if it can't even grasp the logic and the exciting psychological nuances of draw offers? In my opinion, chess does not need such an uneducated audience.
I've always liked draw offers: the subtle mind games remind me of boxing, or indeed of any individual game of any importance where psychology is important. A well-times draw offer can break any chess player, especially in matches. As long as it's according to the most basic code of ethics, isn't it just wonderful that we can enjoy these little 'battles' off the board? Aren't these little details, in fact, the reason why matches are so exciting?

Wat zit Kramnik daar relax bij de persconferentie zeg! Ik heb hem nog nooit zo humoristisch gezien. Eerder ook al. Na die eerste partij zei die op een vraag wat ie die avond ging doen: going to have a party!!!!!!!!!!!! Schitterend schitterend Go Kramnik!!!!

Steinhardt Collections Open a Dialogue on the "Future of Physical Anthropology in Israel"
Thursday, March 15, 2012
A permanent home for the unrivalled TAU collections will revitalize an endangered field, say scientists
Michael Steinhardt
Michael Steinhardt, the legendary hedge fund founder and philanthropist, and a council of scientists, public personalities, and architects, gathered last month to discuss the progress of the Steinhardt National Collections of Natural History, which will become Israel's first national natural history institution. The new building will be open to the public as a center for learning and research and provide a much-needed home for Tel Aviv University's extensive natural history collections.
Yael Dayan, former Member of the Israeli Knesset, Chair of the Tel Aviv Yaffo City Council, and daughter of celebrated Israeli politician Moshe Dayan, was on hand to welcome participants and chair the meeting. "If we were coming to a parking lot before, now we are coming to a dig," she said, noting the building's progress. "And after we go as deep as necessary, we will start climbing." The skeleton of the building is set to be completed in 18 months.
The institution is already at the forefront of a national discussion on strategies to preserve the field of physical anthropology in Israel — a crucial but endangered field of science. In addition to housing millions of specimens as a record of biodiversity in Israel and the region, the Steinhardt National Collections of Natural History will be a research portal for the life sciences, medicine, and the humanities.
Putting human evolution at the forefront
The main objective of the meeting was to discuss the status of physical anthropology in Israel, including the current dangers, the obstacles to its development, and the hopes for its future. According to Prof. Israel Hershkovitz, head of the Dan David Laboratory for the Search and Study of Modern Humans at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the curator of the physical anthropology collection, the outlook is bleak. Giving a detailed description of the state of the field, he noted that scientists will continue to lose invaluable specimens if human remains are not protected as antiquities.
In the quest to understand the origin of modern humans, Israel is one of the most important regions in the world. Crucial data about world-historical events is embedded within the remains found in Israeli archaeological sites — but there are currently many obstacles preventing the intensive study of human remains. TAU's anthropological collection is unrivalled worldwide and includes significant specimens, among which are of the largest collection of the last hunter gatherers in the eastern Mediterranean, the earliest modern humans outside of Africa, the sole evidence of crucifixion, and the largest collection of eastern Neanderthals. But the collection has been drastically reduced in the last years.
Human remains are the sole physical evidence for many dimensions of past human life, including physical appearance, health status, family structure, kinship, diet, and violent encounters. "It's time that the human collections have a permanent house. This is our last chance," said Prof. Hershkovitz in an impassioned appeal at the meeting. "The new building for the Steinhardt National Collections of Natural History represents a future for physical anthropology in Israel."
For future generations of scientists
Tel Aviv University, which operates one of the last active laboratories for physical anthropology in the country, has the opportunity to be an agent for change through the vision and generous support of Michael Steinhardt for the National Collections. The building will not only protect the collection of human remains, but provide a fertile training ground for the next generation of scientists to study and develop the field.
Participants agreed to produce a collective statement regarding the importance of physical anthropology in Israel and encourage positions for researchers in academic institutions across the country, noting that it was time to take a stand to preserve the field of study and its natural collections.

Fostering: can you step up to the challenge?
Tuesday, 21 May 2013
"A good foster carer is like a safety net. I knew that if I messed up someone would be there to catch me. Good carers don't judge you and you can tell them anything."
Powerful words from a young person who knows the very real and positive difference a foster carer can make to a vulnerable young person's life.
Nikki is 18 now and living independently in supported lodgings but to mark Fostercare Fortnight , 13- 27 May, she is helping Hampshire County Council to raise awareness of Fostering in a bid to recruit more carers.
Nikki, who is one of Hampshire's Care Ambassadors supporting other young people in care, spent around ten years in foster care. She still has contact with the family she lived with prior to living independently. "Penny was everything I could have wanted in a foster carer," said Nikki. "She made me feel at home in her family, she understood the difficult things I was dealing with. When I made mistakes she was there to help me but she never judged me. A good foster placement helps you feel safe and secure and for me it enabled me to be a child again."
Security and stability are very important for vulnerable children coming into foster care. Emma, 19, who is studying Philosophy at university with the aim of becoming a teacher has lived with foster carers for the past five years. She said the ability to give and take is key to the success of a placement. "Sometimes carers need to stick with it," she said. "When you come into care you may have a range of feelings, there may be upset, stress and some conflict. It's really important for carers to be willing to work through the hiccups. My carers are lovely people, supportive, consistent, and reflective. I can talk things through with them and they don't let problems escalate."
Like Nikki and Emma, children and young people are looked after by the local authority in foster placements when their own family, for whatever reason, is unable to care for them. It is often a time of turmoil and the one thing they need is someone who will be there for them, listen to them and support them with whatever challenges they are facing.
Nicky from Waterlooville is one of Hampshire's dedicated team of foster carers. She and her husband Steve have looked after around 25 children in the five years they have been fostering. They currently have four boys living with them and their own teenage son. "It certainly makes for a full house," said Nicky, "but I can't remember it being any different. It's the little things which make it so rewarding. I had one little boy and no-one had ever sat and read a book with him. He was so happy to do that and his enjoyment was great to see."
Nicky mainly fosters older boys now and it is not without its challenges: "It's not always easy," she said "but when you see a young person who may have come to you troubled or quiet and withdrawn, gain in confidence, smile and succeed at things they didn't think they could do, it is worth it."
It is not just the child who benefits. Nicky is in touch with one mum of two boys she cared for. "Mum really turned her life round so she could have her boys back. She and the boys are doing well. That's when fostering really works and it is a pleasure to see."
The County Council is always on the lookout for more people, like Nicky, who can rise to the challenge and make a real difference to a vulnerable young person's life by being a foster carer. Right now the County Council is especially keen to hear from people who can offer a stable and caring home environment to a teenager, sibling groups, or children with complex needs. Opportunities exist which range from long-term caring roles to respite and short break care. Carers are also needed to support parents and babies.
Anyone can be a foster carer as long as they have what it takes to care for children. To help foster carers Hampshire County Council has a range of training courses and comprehensive support recognised by Ofsted who judged the Fostering Service to be good with outstanding features. The Council also offers a competitive package of fees and allowances according to skills and experience.
John Coughlan, Hampshire County Council's Director of Children's Services said: "Foster carers like Nicky are vital to us - without them our job of ensuring good outcomes for vulnerable children would be much harder. It can be challenging at times as all parenting can be, but carers tell us it is a very rewarding role and as we can see from the testimony of Nikki and Emma being a foster carer is a chance to make a real difference to children's lives."
To find out more about how you can make a difference, call the Foster Care team on 0845 603 5620 or log on to the website.

Wiercioch calmly claims state crown.
Cody Wiercioch: Cool customer wins
Canon McMillan's Cody Wiercioch, right, grapples with Dubois Area's Tom Sleigh in a 170-pound match at the PIAA Class AAA high school wrestling championships on Friday, March 8, 2013, in Hershey, Pa. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)
Nerves of steel. Cody Wiercioch has them.
For when the Canon-McMillan senior takes to the wrestling mats, nothing bothers him. In his career, he has racked up 167 victories in 172 bouts. This past weekend, Wiercioch calmly secured his third PIAA state championship when he decisioned Penncrest's Joe Gartland, 7-2, in the 170-pound finals at the Giant Center in Hershey.
"No," he said. "I never get nervous. There's no reason to get nervous. I've been there before."
Indeed, when it comes to state finals, Wiercioch has been there before. He won his first title as a freshman at 152 pounds while wrestling for Charleroi. After a runner-up showing his sophomore season, Wiercioch won back-to-back titles as a Big Mac. He won his first Class AAA title by beating Shane Springer of Norristown, 7-4, last year and his second championship this season against Gartland.
"It feels awesome," he said of this third title. "I like this one best though because two of my other teammates both won. That makes it more special."
Special is Wiercioch as he breezed through the competition. He pinned Cody Seibert from Big Spring at 4:28 in his opening bout, then defeated Tom Sleigh from Dubois, 11-3. In the semifinals, he beat Central Dauphin's Colton Pepelmon, 16-6.
"I just tried to push the pace and stay on it," he said of his matches.
Since he stopped playing football in elementary school, Wiercioch has stayed with wrestling and has become one of the best in the sport, certainly at Canon-McMillan says his head coach Chris Mary.
"Cody will go down as one of the school's, if not the state's, best competitors," Mary said. "He will be remembered as one of the best. What a career. Absolutely amazing."
A four-time state finalist, Wiercioch won back-to-back WPIAL and Southwestern Regional titles for the Big Macs. He also helped CM capture championships as the district and state levels during both the team and individual tournaments. The Big Macs rolled up 99 points during last weekend's PIAA tournament to take home the team trophy. Central Dauphin finished second with a 75 score.
Skill and assuredness make the University of Pittsburgh recruit a champion Mary said. Wiercioch possesses sound technique and confidence on the mat.
"Cody has great mat awareness. There is no one better. I've not seen anybody in my 23 years of wrestling," Mary said. "His technique is so sound.
"He's so confident, too, in his abilities. Not a lot of people have that, particularly at his age. In two full seasons in a Canon-Mac singlet, he has not given up a single takedown."
Another rare feat Wiercioch has achieved as a Big Mac. Along with his teammate, Connor Schram, Wiercioch has been selected to the U.S. Dream Team in Chicago. Plus, he will wrestle this Sunday, March 17 in the 39th annual Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic at Pitt's Fitzgerald Field House. Wiercioch was selected to the Pennsylvania squad long ahead of winning his state title.
"I'm real excited about the Dapper Dan. I was psyched up about the early selection," he added. "This is a great opportunity for me. Now I just have to go in and wrestle the way I always do."
Wiercioch calmly claims state crown.

» Living with PI
Hotline 1-866-INFO-4-PI
Living with PI
Thanks to new therapies, greater public awareness, and better access to information, many patients with Primary Immunodeficiencies (PI) are leading more normal lives - going to school, camp, work, playing sports, and enjoying a real quality of life.
If you or someone you care for has been diagnosed with PI, here are some next steps that you might want to consider:
Read through the
About PI
section to learn more about
diagnosis and treatment of PI
Choosing and Working with a Physician
. You might have already identified a physician. If not, you may
Find an Expert
in your area through our Referral Network of Physicians and Centers.
Health Maintenance
Please note, the information contained on these pages is not intended to provide specific medical advice, rather it is intended for informational purposes only, in order to provide a better understanding of these diseases. Please consult with a qualified physician for answers to your questions.
Doctors believe people with a Primary Immunodeficiency can lead active and full lives. A guiding objective of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation is to help people with PI regain or maintain control of their lives by:
Participating in work, school, family, and social activities;
Decreasing the number and severity of infections;
Having few, if any, side effects from medications and other treatments;
Feeling good about themselves and their treatment program.
If your child has PI, maintaining a normal lifestyle is essential to coping with the disease. As a parent, nobody knows your child better than you. You know when your child is ready to "meet the world" and you also know when he/she needs a little extra rest. Try to establish a balance so that your child can understand his/her limitations while enjoying activities with other children.
Emotional and Financial Needs
There has never been more hope for people with PI. All the same, patients and families dealing with any Primary Immunodeficiency disease face a number of difficulties. Families struggling with PI face misunderstandings and discrimination from schoolmates, teachers, neighbors, employers, and insurers who often just don't understand. Many think it's "all in the mind"... or confuse the condition with AIDS.
A patient with PI can have long periods of normal health, and then suddenly be struck by high fevers, pneumonia, or other similar problems. The illnesses themselves can be frightening, the lack of a definite diagnosis or treatment is frustrating, and anticipation of the next attack can turn even healthy periods into times of great anxiety.
Working to develop a cooperative relationship with employers, school officials or teachers, and educating them about your or your child's circumstances will help them better understand the nature of a PI disease. You may want to suggest that they visit this website. Our
sample letters
section features downloadable letters you may give to employers and school officials to help build a stronger relationship. In addition, the Immune Deficiency Foundation offers a guide for schools to help them deal with the specific needs of students with disabilities.
Anger, fear, and uncertainty are common feelings for patients and families coping with PI. All of these feelings are valid and need to be accepted and worked through for the emotional health of everyone involved.
Connecting with Others
An important way to deal with the emotional toll of having PI is to discuss these issues with trained professionals or others in the PI community. Find people you can talk to. We welcome you to visit our
Message Board
Patient support groups can be very helpful and can be found around the world. Please visit the
Related Links
section of our site for a listing of groups. In addition, the
Immune Deficiency Foundation
(IDF) has a network of support groups. If you live outside of the United States, you may be able to find a patient group in your country through the
International Patient Organization for Primary Immunodeficiencies
(IPOPI) website.
If you cannot find a support group specifically for Primary Immunodeficiency near you, look for a group with similar concerns, such as coping with a chronically ill family member or child. You may even want to discuss organizing your own support group with your immunologist or other health care provider, who might be able to contact the other patients and families. The World Immunodeficiency Network (WIN), an initiative of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation, unites and strengthens the voices of patient organizations worldwide. WIN offers direct funding to provide meaningful support and encouragement to patient groups. Learn more about the
The Jeffrey Modell Foundation Kids Day program was created to provide Primary Immunodeficiency patients with a day of sharing, caring, hope and fun. These events offer a welcome opportunity for patients and their families to form friendships with one another, as well as to get to know their physicians and nurses in a casual environment. To learn more about the Kids Day program, contact JMF at email@example.com.
Financial Assistance
In addition to missed work days, the costs of doctor's visits, treatment and hospitalizations all have a significant financial impact on families. You may be able to get assistance with the cost of health insurance premiums, prescriptions, and co-payments by contacting
Patient Services Incorporated
What next?
We hope that you now have a better idea of what PI is, how to recognize it, and what can be done about it. If you suspect this condition in yourself or someone else, discuss what you have just read with your physician. Your doctor is your partner in detecting, treating and managing your immunodeficiency.
We invite you to complete our brief online
Patient Survey
, to help us continue to gather data in order to help formulate plans to address Primary Immunodeficiencies.
If you still have questions, please e-mail us at email@example.com or call us on our toll-free hotline at 1-866-INFO-4-PI.

A quick-hit edition to start the week:
The thriller made a splash at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 and will premiere on May 17 concurrently in theaters across 10 markets, through video-on-demand and on the web in a process known as "day and date release," according to the newspaper.In the past, The Journal notes, "an independent film was likely to go directly to video-on-demand or open on a couple of screens in New York and Los Angeles, but rarely would both happen at the same time."The strategy is an acknowledgement of the growing popularity of the video-on-demand market. The Journal says roughly 53 million homes have access to video-on-demand with the average consumer spending more than 8.5 hours using on-demand services and watching more than 17 titles a month, according to research group Rentrak.To generate word-of-mouth theatrically, the film's distributor, LD Entertainment, is working with college radio stations to promote on-campus screenings. Rather than focusing exclusively on big cities, LD Entertainment president David Dinerstein tells The Journal he is promoting on a region-by-region basis, initially targeting smaller locales such as Buffalo, Cleveland, Denver and Indianapolis."We're looking for a younger suburban Sundance-type crowd," Mr. Dinerstein says.They might get it. The film apparently has a "Deliverance"-style vibe. It's directed by and stars Katie Aselton and is written by her husband, Mark Duplas, both of whom star in the popular FX comedy "The League."

Lebo's Hagy earns acclaim
Luke Hagy
Luke Hagy of Mt. Lebanon has been named to the All-Ivy League pre-season football team. He earned third-team acclaim as a running back on offense. Additionally, the 6-0, 186-pound sophomore has been named to the College Football Performance Awards Watch List for its 2013 CFPA All-Purpose Performer of the Year Award. Hagy is one of 32 players nationally on that list.
The distinctions come on the heels of a stunning freshman campaign at Cornell for the son of Scott and Karen Hagy. In fact, his performances merited him a finalist spot for the prestigious Jerry Rice Award, which is given annually to the national freshman of the year in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Cornell's leading rusher (528 yards, seven touchdowns), Hagy ranked seventh in the Ivy League in that category. He was one of two Big Red freshmen named to the College Sports Journal FCS All-Freshman Team. The two-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week ranked second in the Ancient Eight in both scoring and all-purpose yardage in conference games only.
Hagy finished the year ranked in the top 10 in the Ivy League in rushing, receptions, all-purpose yards and scoring. The conference's top receiving back, he finished fourth on the squad in receptions (48) and receiving yards (513) with two touchdowns.
Hagy established a Cornell freshman record with his 1,054 all-purpose yards. He posted his first career 100-yard rushing game with 124 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries at Columbia, adding eight receptions for 62 yards. He ran for 69 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries against Ivy champ Penn, while also catching seven passes for 83 yards. He scored a receiving touchdown vs. Dartmouth and had 88 yards rushing and two touchdowns vs. Yale, part of a day with 157 all-purpose yards.
The Almanac's 2012 male athlete of the year dominated the local scene when he competed in football, basketball and baseball at Mt. Lebanon.
Hagy, a two-time first-team all-state selection, led the league with 1,907 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior. In the process, he became the school's career rushing leader. Hagy was named the Army Iron Man of the Year for Pennsylvania as the state's best two-way player as a senior. He totaled 2,125 all-purpose yards with 25 touchdowns and six two-point conversion scores at running back and posted 81 tackles with three interceptions and 11 pass breakups.
Hagy rushed for more than 4,000 career yards.
He was a three-year captain in football and baseball and a two-year captain for the basketball team. He was an all-section selection as an outfielder after hitting .451 as a junior and helped his team reach the quarterfinals in the state playoffs his senior season. He was the starting point guard on a team that reached the finals of the state championship tournament. On the hardwood, Hagy set school records for career assists (486) and steals (380) while scoring 879 points.
Hagy, whose grandfather, Anthony Cugini, played football at Penn, is enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
This fall, he will key the offense as fall practice begins in mid-August. The Big Red opens the 2013 season at home against Bucknell on Sept. 21 at Schoellkopf Field.

Department of Biology and Chemistry
103 Lappin HallMorehead, KY 40351Phone: 606-783-2945Fax: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Department of Biology & Chemistry is dedicated to teaching our students in the most effective way possible. Faculty members constantly strive to introduce innovative practices in both the lecture and the laboratory. We are especially focused on active learning practices. Our students have proven themselves to be excellent learners and have demonstrated their capabilities in graduate school, health professional schools and careers in science.
The Department also has a strong undergraduate research emphasis. Students are able to conduct research ranging from watershed monitoring and assessment to molecular analyses of DNA replication. The large majority of students in the Department's research program are MSU Undergraduate Research Fellows, which supports them with a stipend. Other students are supported by research grants that have been awarded to faculty members. Many of these students conduct research during the summer. Our research students present the results of their research at local, regional, and national meetings and frequently win awards for these presentations.
In addition to research activities, students are also encouraged to join one or more of the several clubs within the department. These include the student chapter of the American Chemical Society, the pre-medicine club, the environmental science club, and Tri Beta (the national biological honor society). These meet to discuss their interests and career strategies, sponsor social events, and become involved in campus and regional outreach. For instance, the student chapter of the American Chemical Society conducts demonstrations entitled, "Let's Blow Things Up", as well as raising funds for the American Cancer Society. The premedicine club raises funds for the local free clinic, and the environmental science club facilitates the cleanup of Triplett Creek watershed each year.
We welcome you to our department and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions.

About 15% of the world population lives with some form of disability. Yet little is known about the economic lives of persons with disabilities, especially in developing countries. This webinar presents the findings of a study which for the first time used internationally comparable data to draw an economic profile of persons with disabilities in 15 developing countries. These countries include: seven countries in Africa (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Zambia, Zimbabwe), four countries in Asia (Bangladesh, Laos, Pakistan, Philippines) and four countries in South America and the Caribbean (Brazil, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Paraguay).Participants in this webinar will explore the findings of the study which documented:
Participants will gain an understanding of the multidimensional perspective of disability and poverty and discuss practical implications to address disparities.
The Citizen-Centered Leadership Development Community of Practice series is a unique combination of self-paced distance learning study, robust field work, interactive class assignments and live webcast instruction designed to advance theoretic and skill-based learning leading to quality outcomes in the lives of people with disabilities.

Lawrence E. Mitchell is fed up with "two years of almost relentless attacks on law schools," and he uses this New York Times op-ed piece to make his case for their value.
And why shouldn't he? Mr. Mitchell is dean of the law school at Case Western Reserve University, and he's convinced the institution does valuable work.
"For at least two years, the popular press, bloggers and a few sensationalist law professors have turned American law schools into the new investment banks," he writes. "We entice bright young students into our academic clutches. Succubus-like, when we've taken what we want from them, we return them to the mean and barren streets to fend for themselves."The hysteria has masked some important realities and created an environment in which some of the brightest potential lawyers are, largely irrationally, forgoing the possibility of a rich, rewarding and, yes, profitable, career."Mr. Mitchell acknowledges the job market for new lawyers is bad but notes "it's bad in many industries." He adds that the "focus on first jobs is misplaced" because, "We educate students for a career likely to span 40 to 50 years. The world is guaranteed to change in unpredictable ways, but that reality doesn't keep us from planning our lives."Lawyers still have strong earning power, Mr. Mitchell argues, with a median starting salary for practicing lawyers of $61,500 and a mean salary for all practicing lawyers of $130,490. Tuition increases have led to more debt, with the average student at a private law school graduating with $125,000 in debt."But the average lawyer's annual salary exceeds that number," Mr. Mitchell writes. "You'd consider a home mortgage at that ratio to be pretty sweet."Plus, he contends, the tight job market will fix itself eventually."As more senior lawyers retire, jobs will open, even in the unlikely case that the law business doesn't expand with an improving economy," Mr. Mitchell writes.Fair points all, though it's worth noting that Case Western Reserve is among the law schools that has scaled back admissions as a result of the tight job market for lawyers.
Is there a visionary high school junior or senior in your house who can predict creative payment systems of the future? If so, he or she could pocket a $500 gift card from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.The bank's 2013 Creative Writing Contest is called "Future World: How Would You Like to Pay for That."It asks students to submit "an essay, poem, play or short story" that explains how people will pay for the things they want and need in 2020.From the contest page: What does Future World look like to you? Is there cash, or are smart phones and PayPal the primary forms of payment for goods and services? Have there been major innovations in payment systems? Craft an essay, poem, play, or short story explaining what costs and benefits you envision in Future World.As you craft your composition, think about how economic principles will affect Future World. Are there issues of supply and demand as more people use mobile devices to make purchases? Have the innovations created unintended consequences?The deadline for submissions is Feb. 28, 2013. Entries are based on "comprehension, organization, conclusions, creativity and clarity."
USA Today is favorably impressed with Cleveland's holiday spirit.This story, on "10 great places to put a spin on the Christmas spirit," suggests holiday travelers stop at the Christmas Story House in Cleveland."Ralphie's home is perfectly preserved in this homage to the 1983 holiday film that's now a cult classic," the newspaper notes. "The house used for the filming has been decorated to match the original set, and a museum includes costumes, props and memorabilia. A gift shop offers movie tie-in items such as leg lamps and Red Ryder BB guns."The newspaper also recommends seven cookbooks as holiday gifts, and one of them is "Michael Symon's Carnivore: 120 Recipes for Meat Lovers," co-authored by the celebrity chef and well-known local food writer Douglas Trattner.Among the book's stellar recipes: Grilled Rib Eyes with Watercress, Blue Cheese & Radish Salad; Pork Pie; and Smoked Pork Butt with Habanero Glaze.Why is it great for giving? "Not everyone's a vegan," USA Today says. "Chances are, plenty of people on your gift list crave the sizzling, sometimes bloody delight of a well-cooked and seasoned hunk of meat."

Comments On May 24, 2011:Ive used all different companies of levers. I would say you will get what you pay for. Do you want to buy quantity or quality? The black gripper piece will fall off as soon as you rub your fingers across it. The levers are made with a weaker cast aluminum.

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago.

Ballot measures run the gamut across America
In South Dakota, voters will decide on an abortion ban and term limits. Merit pay for teachers is on the ballot in Oregon. Maryland will decide whether to approve slot machines. There are marijuana questions before voters, where else, in California.
A host of referendum and initiative questions are on ballots all across the country this Election Day. Here is the rundown.
Hunters will be asked for deer heads
State wildlife biologists will be in 17 northern counties collecting deer heads during this year's deer hunt. Officials are hoping to collect as many as 500 to test Wisconsin deer for chronic wasting disease.
Here's how the program will work. Biologists will ask successful hunters for a tissue sample or possibly the entire deer head to be tested. The DNR is specifically looking for samples from Polk, Barron, Washburn, Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Iron, Rusk, Taylor, Sawyer, Price, Lincoln, Langlade, Oneida, Vilas, Forest, and Florence counties.
Here is more information from the Department of Natural Resources.

Long-time OSS user/admin, intermediate coder - I heart python. Master of Science in Molecular Medicine, many years' experience in biotech working with antibodies and cell-based assays. Science and computer geek. Dad.
Do you love Sublime Text? Looking for a color scheme that looks good in lots of languages and takes advantage of as many scopes as possible? Check out Neon Color Scheme, available through Package Control and hosted on GitHub. Also works great in TextMate and TextMate 2 - instructions in the README.
Looking for a great Linux hosting provider geared toward developers with shell access, a bunch of ready-to-deploy apps, and awesome tech support? Check out WebFaction, my favorite alternative to the big hosting beasts. They run CentOS 6 x64, have datacenters around the world, and have a full suite of regularly-updated development and deployment tools. And did I mention they're cheap? My basic plan with 512MB RAM, 100GB disk, and 600 GB bandwidth/month is just US$8.50/mo! (if you prepay for a full year - US$102). Check out all these other features:
- Full control over shell access (multi-user capability), email, and DNS.
- Extensive, searchable, useful documentation.
- Python, Ruby/Rails, PHP, Java, Perl, shell scripts...
- Ability to install whatever software tools you need, and execute long-running processes.
- nginx and Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB...
- "One-click" (actually, several clicks and some typing) installers for a whole bunch (and different versions) of popular applications like Django, Rails, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Git, Redmine, and more.
- and a ton of other stuff. Just follow the link!
I honestly don't know of any other hosting provider that has a similar product, and if one exists I can't imagine it's as cheap. BTW, I don't work for them, I'm just a very satisfied customer.
Why Pigimal?
I sometimes call my guinea pig (also known as a cavy) "Pigimal", which is short for "Piggy Animal." Now you know.

The United States is a nation of immigrants and we recognize the contributions that people from all over the world have made to our country.
House Democrats will continue to work for common sense, comprehensive, and balanced immigration reform: reform that secures our borders, respects the rule of law, and provides immigrants with a fair chance of achieving the American Dream.
Reform must build on the commitment that Democrats have made to secure our borders. Over the past three years, we have passed legislation and provided vital funding that strengthens border security and reduces violence along our southern border.
Reform must also include measures to hold businesses accountable that hire and exploit undocumented workers. Finally, we will work for reform that requires those living here illegally register with the government, pay any back taxes, and learn English before earning their citizenship.
Democrats also support the DREAM Act, which would provide undocumented students or those who serve our country in uniform the opportunity to become citizens if they arrived in the U.S. as a minor and have lived here at least five years so that they can fully contribute to our nation's future.
