(Reuters) - An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration recommended that the agency reject a kidney cancer drug made by Aveo Pharmaceuticals Inc and Astellas Pharma Inc, saying data from the clinical trial were inconsistent.
In a 13-1 vote on Thursday, the panel said Aveo had not shown that the drug's benefits outweighed its risks in a well-controlled study, and said a second trial would be needed before the drug, tivozanib, should be approved.
Aveo's shares fell as much as 57 percent on Thursday.
Aveo and Astellas said that while they were disappointed with the outcome of the meeting, "we remain confident in the efficacy, safety and tolerability of tivozanib," and would work with the FDA to address the issues raised by the panel.
Tivozanib delayed progression of the disease in a 517-patient trial, but patients taking the drug did not live longer than those who took a rival treatment, Nexavar, known generically as sorafenib. Nexavar is made by Bayer AG and Onyx Pharmaceuticals.
The FDA pointed out that while the drug conferred a 20 percent benefit in delaying disease progression, it increased the risk of death by 25 percent. Patients in the tivozanib arm of the trial lived 28.8 months while patients taking sorafenib lived on average 29.3 months.
"If we approve this drug based on this study how would we communicate to patients the potential 25 percent increase in the risk of death?" Jonathan Jarow, Medical Officer at the FDA, asked the panel.
Representatives from Aveo argued that the drug met the main goal of the trial, and they argued that negative overall survival figures were because patients in the Nexavar arm were allowed to cross over into the tivozanib trial. In effect, they said, tivozanib was compared against a two-drug regime.
Jarow countered that there are seven other approved drugs to treat renal cancer on the market, and patients were allowed to cross over in five of those trials, "yet none of these trials demonstrated a negative trend for overall survival," he said.
Panelists expressed concern that most of the patients in the trial were studied in central and eastern Europe and they questioned whether the results would be applicable to the U.S. population.
Why, demanded Dr. Richard Pazdur, director of the FDA's cancer division, did Aveo conduct its clinical trials in central and eastern Europe? If tivozanib was such a promising product, why were clinicians in the United States not clamoring to enter their patients?
Aveo responded that at the time it was enrolling patients, a number of other companies were also enrolling patients in competing trials, forcing Aveo to recruit most of its patients oversees.
One panel member, Lori Dodd, a mathematical statistician with the National Institutes of Health, said she was "angry" at what she perceived to be a sloppy design trial which potentially denied kidney cancer patients access to a new drug.
"I think if the trial had been conducted in a better way we would not be here," she said.
Pazdur also said he was "extremely disappointed" in the information Aveo proposed placing on the drug's label, which he said did not provide patients with the crucial survival data.
Aveo's shares were halted prior to the meeting. They closed on Wednesday at $5.25, having fallen from a year high of $14.08 last July. They fell roughly 27 percent alone on Tuesday after the FDA released its initial impressions of the data.
Aveo's shares fell 47 percent to $2.76 in Thursday afternoon trading on Nasdaq, after briefly slipping as low as $2.25.

Well, paint me red and call me a girl scout, I totally did not see this one coming at all. This is so utterly surprising it made my brain explode. Hold on to your panties, because this will rock your world. After pressuring several smaller Android vendors into submission (and yes, HTC is still relatively small compared to other players), Microsoft is now moving on to the big one: Redmond is demanding $15 for every Samsung Android device sold. Samsung's choices are simple: pay up, or face another epic lawsuit.

And a stupid waste of money that gets flushed down the lawyer company. MS is playing a scorched earth policy. They aren't making money off the mobile market so they're using bullshit means to make sure no one else does either.
I really wonder how much longer the US will be a dominant market. Enough of this crap and it will become a third world market and stay there.

Crank snout....repair?
Posted 22 January 2013 - 12:36 AM
But, as we took a look at what was wrong with the SUS, it appears the crank bolt backed out, the pulley walked out a bit, broke off the key, and took a pretty nasty gouge out of the crank snout.
As soon as I saw that, I shrugged and said, "oh well, at least we still have that EJ251".
But, some of my coworkers (AutoZone) were talking about some different epoxies and such that might successfully repair this damage. Thoughts?

Guess the good news is she recently had the timing belt done. But did they replace all the idlers and water pump?
Posted 22 January 2013 - 07:35 AM
you don't need the key way, waste of time to repair that. just file/sand the crank snout smooth so the pulley can bolt flush to it. crank it on tight and it's not coming off. i don't even use a torque wrench - a 2 and a half foot pipe on my socket wrench and i crack it on there good. they don't come off and you'd have to be playing a drinking game to shear that bolt/strip threads on that cast iron chunk.
if you sell the car, just be sure to make a note of that to the new owner.
you can bolt the 25D heads to the 251 block if it comes to it, i've gone the other way before.
and then i'll take the 'ruined' EJ25D block. LOL
Posted 22 January 2013 - 07:51 AM
That's very good news. I will take pictures of it when we get in there. I am concerned that the snout damage will effect the timing sprocket too. So, we'll see. It does run, though, so it might be salvageable.
I still haven't decided which motor I'd rather run. They're both pretty high mileage (170k on the 25D, and 200k on the 251), and we're thinking of keeping the car to replace my girlfriend's POS KIA. In which case I think I'd still rather have the 251.
If we sell it, I'd rather there not be anything we have to "make the buyer aware of"....

Only have had assistance on 2 Suby repairs and this was one. A delaer mechanic because I'm not much of a welder.
Removed engine (2.2) on a Legacy anniversary edition). Welded crank, dremeled groove for key, reassemble. Removed engine - it's so easy. So we could see and have good assecc, resealed baffle plate, etc.

i'd keep whichever engine has original headgaskets, if one does and you can tell. that gives a fairly high probability of no prior overheating. the 251 is certainly a nicer engine and easier valves to adjust, etc.

They both appear to have original head gaskets. I think the 25D should come out for a reseal anyway....so I'm still leaning more towards putting the 251 in it's place....
Make sure it doesn't have any bent valves before you get too carried away.....
Still runs. So I'm guessing they're OK :-p

weld the new keyway into place, grind-er down til the crank pulley fits
+1. Since the oil pump is much larger than the crank snout where the sprocket fits welding the key in place and grinding it carefully till the sprocket fits correctly is the best option. This can easily be done in the car and does not preclude future dissasembly in any way.
Often I find that just cleaning up the area and digging the crud out of the keyway will allow it to be assembled carefully and torqued without needing any real repair. The key is just for assembly alignment. It's the bolt torque that holds everything in place. Once the bolt is torqued the key plays no role at all.

Now that you've conquered the tragic hero-turned-evil Deathbringer Saurfang, the path is clear for you to go into the Plagueworks. This is where some of the slimy, funky, icky creatures serving Arthas keep their truly hideous and nasty creatures."Slimy" really is the word here, as the whole area just seems... moist.
In a small break from normal operating procedure, I want to talk a little about the trash on the way to your first boss. The trash in Icecrown Citadel is fairly awesome, and worth a little bit of description. As soon as you enter the main spire, you're going to find these jets of blue smoke shooting from the walls. It's worth noting that you shouldn't stand in them, or you'll die. Rogues can disarm these traps fairly handily.
Jump behind the cut and let's start looking at Festergut and his wonderful array of friends.
Now that you've conquered the tragic hero-turned-evil Deathbringer Saurfang, the path is clear for you to go into the Plagueworks. This is where some of the slimy, funky, icky creatures serving Arthas keep their truly hideous and nasty creatures."Slimy" really is the word here, as the whole area just seems... moist.
As you enter the spire past the green jets of death, the first mobs you'll see flying around the central spire are the Val'kyr Heralds. The Heralds themselves aren't so bad to kill, but they have a trick that can send your groups into apoplexy. As the fight against each Herald proceeds, they will drop a Severed Essence on members of the raid. That ability creates a Severed Essence mob -- a duplicate of one of your raid members. The longer the fight against each Herald continues, the more Severed Essences you'll have to fight. It's probably best to have your off-tank pick up these additional mobs, while you focus on burning down the Herald. Then go back and clean up the Essences at your leisure. The jets and the val'kyr are not actually Plagueworks trash, but you'll have to deal with them on your way there.
Stinky and Precious
The next fight I really want to talk about is the showdown with Precious and Stinky. We'll go one by one, but to sum up: welcome to Gluth 2.0 and 3.0. Both Stinky and Precious sport a Decimate ability, so your healers will definitely need to be ready to handle that when it drops. Equally problematic for healing your tanks are the rapid-fire stacks of Mortal Wound that will slow down your healing on the main tank. Mortal Wound will stack up to ten times, at which point no healing will successfully land on your tank.
Let's start with Precious. The general heartbeat, so to speak, of the fight with Precious is very similar to the fight against Gluth. You'll need two tanks. When the stacks of Mortal Wounds gets too high to heal through, swap the mob between the two tanks. It's best to taunt to a fresh tank just after a Decimate drops, if you can at all arrange it that way. Precious also summons lots of zombies, but these zombies do not heal Precious when they reach Precious. I've found it best to kite Precious down the stairs and then back up the other stairs, so that the tank isn't carrying too many zombies all at once. The zombies walk pretty slow, so you won't have too much trouble.
Stinky has the same Mortal Wound and Decimate dynamic as Precious, but has no zombies. Instead, Stinky smells bad, and is constantly shooting out an aura of Plague Stench. Plague Stench will constantly deal raid damage to anyone in line of sight of the dog, so it's best to burn Stinky down as fast as possible. Think of this fight as a healer check, since it will definitely push your healers hard to keep the entire raid topped off.
Festergut is probably one of the two ugliest bosses in the game right now. The other would be Rotface, who shares the same model as his brother. The fight with Festergut is actually fairly straightforward, and only has two different gimmicks. The first is the Gastric Bloat he puts on the tank, which will require you to have multiple tanks. The second is the Gaseous Blight that fills the room when you enter. Here's how all this works out.
The first trick with Festergut is the stacking debuff called Gastric Bloat. This debuff will stack up to ten times on the tank. When it reaches ten stacks, the tank will explode in a funky Gastric Explosion. The explosion will hit your raid hard -- it instantly kills the person who exploded, and does huge damage to everyone else in the room. So, obviously, you don't want to let the Bloat go to ten stacks. Have your off-tank taunt Festergut when the first tank has 9 stacks of Gastric Bloat. It takes two minutes for the debuff to drop off, which is also how long it takes for the Bloat to get to 9 stacks in the first place. When a tank is "cooling down" their bloat, they should be DPSing the boss, since the Gastric Bloat also has the side effect of increasing the target's damage by 10% per stack.
Ranged DPS (and healers) will need to worry about Vile Gas, a debuff that encourages them to spread out at all costs. If you get too close to other players with Vile Gas, bad things will happen.
The other thing to worry about is the ongoing Gaseous Blight that fills Festergut's room. It starts off incredibly powerful, and will tax your healers to keep the raid at full health. Festergut will periodically "inhale" the gas, which makes him hit harder, but the Blight a little weaker. After he's inhaled four times he farts a Pungent Blight, damaging the entire raid. So, this is the ebb and flow of the fight: the raid is taking a lot of damage from the Gaseous Blight. With each inhale, the raid takes less damage, but the tank takes more. So your healing will slowly shift from raid-focused healing to tank-focused healing. When Festergut reaches four inhales, he will explode and kill everyone with a big Pungent Blight. However, there's something you can do to keep the raid from dying from that one, big fart.
Festergut will periodically drop a Gas Spore on random raid members. (It drops 2 spores in 10 man, but 3 spores in 25 man.) That spore will explode, doing light damage to any player within range and providing them with a Inoculated buff. That buff will keep you from taking deadly-level damage from Festergut's Pungent Blight fart, and becomes key in letting your healers successfully heal through the encounter. For that reason, it's a good idea to keep your melee in a clump, and make sure your ranged collapse for spores. However, once the spore has popped the range need to spread out again lest they murder each other. (Editor's Note: Edited the previous sentence for encounter clarity.) When the spores occur, have the spore-players be sure to spread out across the two groups.
Once you master these dynamics, you'll actually find Festergut fairly easy. He does have a 5 minute enrage timer, so you need to be certain you have enough DPS to get through the fight. If you find yourself short of the damage throughput to kill him within 5 minutes, you may need to adjust your strategy.
Good luck hunting out there, folks.

Hi all
Any thoughts on waking a baby to feed? Dd2 is nearly 6 weeks, and colicky but otherwise healthy (good gain, normal pee & poop). Most nights she's hungry after a first 4 hr sleep and then every 3ish through to morning. On the rare night that she doesnt wake in her normal pattern, I'm torn whether to wake her or let her sleep :dunno:.
Should I or shouldnt I? I'm not sure, especially at 2am

Best Buy
"Big box" giant Best Buy has been hurt by soft consumer demand for notebooks just as much as the PC makers showcased in its stores.
The Minneapolis-based company in November confirmed what it called a "significant" decline in its fiscal third-quarter earnings, reporting a net loss of $10 million compared to the $156 million in income it announced during the same quarter the year before. Best Buy saw a jump in sales for tablets, smartphones and e-Readers, but said it wasn't significant enough to offset the declines it saw in other business units, including televisions and notebooks.
To help stay afloat, Best Buy said in March of last year (after coming off yet another dismal quarter) it will close 50 of its U.S. stores and cut nearly 400 corporate and support jobs.

The last time they wrestled, Parkland left Nazareth High following a stinging two-point loss decided on the final bout. The Trojans gave themselves no such room for error Saturday.
Parkland won five bouts by fall, after pinning no one in December, to top the Blue Eagles 54-15 in the quarterfinals of the District 11 Class 3A duals.

The tamper included a diesel over hydraulic-driven power unit that supplies electrical current to operate 16 grinding stones, an operator's station and operation controls; two grinding carts equipped with a total of 16 fully-adjustable grinding assemblies and a water storage cart equipped with a water cannon for fire control and a remote pump for retrieving additional water.
"The three-month project included participation from three, new-hire, work equipment mechanics during their qualification period," explained KCS Director Production and Standards Shawn Vecellio. "The project gave the new employees an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and their managers, time to evaluate them."
"The original intent was to dedicate this unit for grinding of Panama Canal Railway, however after better than anticipated results with the rebuild, we think this machine will also perform well in the U.S.," said KCS Vice President and Chief Engineer Jeff Songer. "We recently did a test run over 30 miles of rail on the Shreveport Subdivision and it was very effective."

|Journalists seek sanctions over council meetings
|Suit asks $1.4 million in Panthers stadium deal
|Published Tuesday, April 2, 2013 8:47 am
Four retired Charlotte journalists are taking City Council to court over closed-door meetings related to funding improvements at Bank of America Stadium.
|Former WBTV reporter Ken Koontz (second from left) addresses media Tuesday at a press conference announcing a petition to find Charlotte City Council in contempt of court for violating N.C. open meetings law during deliberations on Bank of America Stadium upgrades.
Attorney Paul Whitfield will file a motion today in Superior Court to ask a judge to hold the city of Charlotte in contempt of court for breaking the N.C. open meetings law in its talks with the NFL�s Carolina Panthers. The plaintiffs seek a fine of at least $1.4 million against the city � 1 percent of the $144 million initially sought to fund renovations at the stadium.
The plaintiffs � Ken Koontz, Bruce Bowers, Mike Cozza and Wayne Powers � contend Mayor Anthony Foxx and City Council members violated a permanent injunction in holding closed door deliberations and taking a secret vote to approve doubling the prepared food and beverage tax for the stadium upgrades. The proposal ultimately died for lack of support among N.C. lawmakers, although a compromise bill would allow Charlotte to use existing tax revenue to fund the project.
�A permanent injunction is permanent,� the plaintiffs said in a joint statement. �We contend the city violated Judge Snepp�s injunction and the NC Open Meetings Law with closed discussions and a secret tax vote. The mayor and city council have grown increasingly arrogant in handling public business behind closed doors. They now seek a major tax hike as if it were some private matter. Our contempt motion is non-partisan. It is not aimed at blocking renovation of the stadium. But it does intend to penalize the city for trampling on the mandate of the open meetings law � to conduct public business in public, for voters to see, hear and understand.�
City council members approached the Panthers about funding stadium upgrades last year in order to keep the franchise in Charlotte long term. Panthers owner Jerry Richardson has stipulated the Panthers be sold within two years of his death, which could lead to the new owner moving the franchise out of Charlotte and leaving the privately-owned stadium sitting on publicly-held land.
In the 1970s, Whitfield represented Charlotte journalists in open meeting lawsuits against City Council, Mecklenburg County commissioners, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board, winning all three cases. As a result, Superior Court Judge Frank Snepp placed all three under permanent injunctions. Bowers, Koontz and Cozza � all former WBTV reporters � were plaintiffs in the original lawsuits.

Red Sox legend Jim Rice popped into the A's clubhouse and was chatting w/Nomar Garciaparra earlier this afternoon. You never know who you're going to see from day to day, especially when the A's visit a team with such a rich history as Boston … We've got some dark clouds hovering over Fenway at the moment. Batting practice was canceled for both teams as a steady rain fell earlier. But the tarp is off the infield right now. Weather.com says there's anywhere from a 35-45 percent chance of showers around first pitch, and for the next couple hours after that.
On to the news: Reliever Jeff Gray, who knows the route between Oakland and Triple-A Sacramento quite well, was recalled to take the 25-man roster spot of Dana Eveland. The right-hander has some nasty stuff, but he hasn't gotten much of a chance to show it in two brief stints with Oakland this season. He was called up twice in May and retired the only batter he faced each time. Gray, 27, was 2-2 with a 1.99 ERA with Sacramento and was 11-for-11 in save opportunities.
Bob Geren's phone buzzed w/a call from Dallas Braden while he was meeting w/reporters, but there's still no word on whether the lefty will return to start one of the games this weekend in Tampa Bay … Brett Anderson will throw either Saturday or Sunday, w/Gio Gonzalez pitching the other day if Braden doesn't go …
Jason Giambi gets his second day off in four games, with Bobby Crosby playing first and Jack Cust serving as DH. Giambi and Geren both said his body was in need of some overall rest, and he'll get two days off with no game scheduled tomorrow. There might be a few guys who wouldn't have minded taking tonight off with knuckleballer Tim Wakefield going for Boston. It can't be too much fun gearing up for the heat that Josh Beckett brings, and then adjusting to Wakefield's floating stuff 24 hours later. Now that I've written that, of course, the A's will put a 10-spot on the scoreboard tonight …

Fayetteville antique dealers are among those who have led the way for antique centers in Tennessee.
Several local antique stores were some of the first antique stores to join TennesseeAntiqueTrail.com and were instrumental in making it a success. Tennessee AntiqueTrail also produces a brochure which is approved by the state of Tennessee.
The colorful brochure is distributed in tourist information centers and antique stores across Tennessee. An electronic copy of this brochure may be found on the website TennesseeAntiqueTrail.com. Over 120 antique shops are listed on the Tennessee trail and new shops are being added.
FayettevilleTnAntiqueTrail.com member stores were instrumental in the success in
TennesseeAntiqueTrail.com, a part of AntiqueTrail.com, which has over 490 stores as members. The brochure was first published in July 2011 and the second annual brochure is currently being distributed.
The local stores listed on the trail are Bits & Pieces, located at 115 Market Street East, phone 659-9186; His & Hers Antiques, 213 Main Avenue South, phone 993-4838; Magnolia Antique Mall, 121 Main Avenue South, phone 433-9987; Sissy's Antiques and Interiors, 208 Main Avenue South, phone 438-7169; and Touch of Glass Antiques, 217 Main Avenue South, phone 438-7020.
Following the FayettevilleTnAntiueTrail.com is an adventure in upscale antique galleries, as well as a mélange of privately owned shops and multi-vendor malls with a mixture of antiques and vintage collectibles.
Preview the shops before you "hit the trail" One may view the entire state map with the shops noted at each location or select one of the three divisions of the state or select shops by city name.
"I think it has helped business – it's drawing people to look at pictures (on the website)," said Ray Landman, co-owner of Magnolia Mall with his wife, Hope.
He noted that people interested in a particular piece of furniture sometimes ask him to send a larger picture of the piece before they drive to Fayetteville.
These antique shops are housed uniquely. In Fayetteville, the 15,000-square-foot building that houses the Magnolia Mall was erected in 1890 by James & Alexander and at one time contained two store fronts. McKinney Bros. Drug Store was located there until 1923, and then it became Terry's Department Store. The left side of the building was the home of O.A. Ready's Bakery until 1952. Redford's 5 & Dime was also located in the building.
Antique-aholics will need to visit the trail often because the merchandise changes frequently. Many items are from southern family estates. Occasionally, items are original pieces from antebellum homes. One may find primitives grandmother could have owned. European and Oriental imports, selected by local antique dealers while traveling abroad or brought here by early settlers, are also found on the trail.
The Tennessee Antique Trail offers glassware, pottery, signs, silver, porcelain, military items, books, art, coins historical paper and American, French, Japanese, Chinese and English furnishings from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
Marcia Cole Arnold, born in Putnam County, is a collector of antiques and collectibles. She became frustrated with the limited and often outdated information on the internet. She decided she would solve that problem with a website using information obtained personally. Marcia and her husband, Ray, have visited hundreds of shops in the last several years. Bruce resides in Powell. Wendy Wayman, shop owner in Dickson, is also a sales associate.
The Tennessee Antique Trail offers not only antiques and collectibles, but most importantly, southern hospitality and charming, knowledgeable people.

hi just brought a traxxas jato 3.3 and have readthat the brakes dont pull up very quick, so i want to get a twin brake system. can you please help me where to get one. thanks
Hot racing makes a good dual brake kit for the Jato.
Do you know if they just mount side by side?
I just placed a very small washer inbetween the screw head and the break on both screws holding the break together.
This allowed me to tighten and loosen the break with the nob according to how strong i wanted my breaks.
I can completely lock my wheels going full blast or i can ease it down a bit. Much more simple fix than buying new breaks.
the aluminium brakes are not very good they heat up and melt the surrounding plastic.so the dual standard brakes are the best.
traxxas nitro
I need Help! I took my brake set up off when i changed my gear box and now my brakes don't work! I don't know what i am doing wrong reinstalled them the same way i took them off
Process of elimination.
Is your servo pulling the brake arm?
Is the brake arm pulling the block that pushes the brake pads?
If the brake pads do close as the arm moves, probably need adjusting.
Just remember, those 2 bolts that hold the pads in place, also control how hard the pads will close. If those bolts are loose, you will have poor/no brakes.
I tried all that is there a set up guide or install or uninstall guide?
Not that I know of.
Did you lose the block that pushed the pad maybe?
So I just got back from my LHS and they did a little tweaking on the two brake pad screws and brakes work perfect now!
I bought a piece of hollow aluminum square stock the same size as the square piece that fits inside the transmission, I cut the piece maybe 1/16-1/8 longer and that made a world of difference! !! Locks up street fighters at full throttle. Replace the adjustment "spring" with a piece of fuel tubing for more positive engagement of the brake.....BOOM no more jato brake problems, im also running stock pads and disk.
On my Jato, I removed the stock brake linkage and used a lightly modified linkage from a T-Maxx. Just have to grind the blue post down some on the bottom to line the cam slot up. Shortly after doing this, however, I broke the stock disc. There's no LHS around here so instead of waiting 2 weeks for a part, I fabbed a new disc out of aluminum plate using a grinder and drill press. It's not the prettiest thing I've ever built, but it works great! Will easily lock up the tires if I want to. I also have fuel line in place of the spring on the adjustment end.
Revo 3.3
Jato 3.3
1/16 E-Revo VXL
Nice work RCNason!
I have found from experience, that the brake arm is normally in need of replacement, with an aluminum one. The stock plastic one flexes too much, and sometimes strips out.
I did the HR duel discs and alloy horn and bell crank and fuel line instead of spring. It couldn't be better.It was a bit spendy but worth every dime.
nutty like a squirrel turd....!!!!!

CVCC earns 'exceptional' rating
Catawba Valley Community College earned an A+ on its annual report card from the N.C. Community College System.
"This evaluation says to prospective students, their parents and everyone in our community that CVCC provides a quality education and our graduates are meeting the expectations of employers and senior institutions," said CVCC President Dr. Garrett D. Hinshaw. "It is tangible evidence of the outstanding work done by our faculty and staff. They are the ones who deserve the praise."
The rating is based on the system's annual review of eight performance measures as mandated by the N.C. General Assembly.
To read more of this story, pick up the weekend print edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Microsoft (MSFT) shortly kicks off its Windows 8 "launch event" in Manhattan, capping off a 24-hour run of meetings and parties by partners such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which had a shindig in way west midtown Manhattan last night (open bar, DJ, band) and Samsung Electronics (005930KS), which had an appearance by Kanye West at its event, or so I'm told.
The keynote address should take place around 11 am. Windows 8 officially goes on sale tomorrow. Microsoft is also expected to "take over" Times Square for three days in a row, so swing by if you're in the area.
Microsoft shares this morning are up 9 cents, or 03.%, at $27.99.
Shares of Sprint-Nextel (S) are down a penny at $5.61 after the company this morning reported Q3 revenue that missed expectations but reported a much better-than-expected net loss per share, turning just 26 cents where analysts had been expecting 43 cents.
Sprint reported selling 1.5 million of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone in the quarter, 40% of which went to new customers, and said its wireless revenue rose 14%, year over year, for the Sprint side of the business as it added nearly 900,000 subscribers on a net basis.
Jennifer Fritzsche of Wells Fargo wrote of the results, "better than expected results from Sprint on what we admittedly thought would be a so-so quarter."
She continued, "We were especially impressed with the company's EBITDA performance and new customer gain from the iPhone…we note this 40% was above both what T and VZ reported."
DigiTimes's Siu Han and Alex Wolfgram this morning report that Apple's pricing of its iPad Mini, unveiled Tuesday, starting at $329 is a consequence of the manufacturing obstacles with the company's production of the "DITO film sensor" used in its touch screen. Sources tell the reporters the screens for the smaller iPad are almost as expensive as for the larger model. Apparently, LG Display (LGD) is making most of the panels for the Mini, though AU Optronics also makes some, according to another DigiTimes article by Wolfgram and Rebecca Kuo.
Apple reports earnings this afternoon, after the bell. The shares today are down 4 cents, at $616.79.
The Street this morning is parceling out medals and jeers for last night's raft of earnings.
Ancestry.com (ACOM), in the process of being taken private, gets a couple of downgrades this morning, while Akamai (AKAM) received two upgrades following its Q3 beat, from Cowen & Co. and from Canaccord Genuity's Greg Miller, who raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Hold and setting a $45 price target. Writes Miller, "we believe revenue growth has clearly accelerated. We currently expect mid-teens top-line growth for 2013 with improving margins that will likely prove conservative."
Akamai shares this morning are up $2.60, or 7%, at $38.71.

Meanwhile, Libby's lawyer, William Jeffress, says the special prosecutor's revelation "is a complete sidelight" to the charge against his client, that "It's got nothing to do with Wilson's wife."
Fitzgerald's filing was meant specifically to undermine Libby's claim that the issue of the CIA's employment of Plame was of "peripheral" interest to Libby at the time. He said in the filing that leaks regarding Plame were meant to embarrass Wilson by suggesting his wife had organized a CIA-sponsored trip by Wilson to probe Iraq's alleged purchase of nuclear material -- in short, to suggest his trip resulted from nepotism.Even if the two subjects have something to do with each other, the question is how much weight this evidence has. How do you prove someone is lying when they say they forgot? One way is to prove this is the sort of thing you could not have forgotten because of its connection with something else you were paying intensely close attention to.
Fitzgerald argued, in essence, that the White House effort to rebut Wilson's criticism was so intense, and so preoccupying, that Libby could not have forgotten what he said about Plame. Fitzgerald also noted that Plame's employment was specifically raised as a relevant matter by Cheney, who had directed Libby to disclose information from the NIE.
Quite aside from the prosecution of Scooter Libby are the charges that President Bush was hypocritical for declassifying information to support the war when he has been critical of the unauthorized leaking of information:
[T]he report that the president was himself approving a leak may do serious political damage, said [historian Rick] Shenkman, who has a blog on presidential politics. "It does give the public such a powerful example of hypocrisy that I think it might linger for a while," he said.I hope people will be able to keep these stories straight, but they are complicated and likely to merge, which is, of course, what Bush's critics want.
Scott McClellan, the president's spokesman, disputed the charge of a double standard on leaks. "There is a difference between declassifying information in the national interest and the unauthorized disclosure" of national security information, Mr. McClellan said Friday. Of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, part of which Mr. Libby shared with Judith Miller, then a Times reporter, Mr. McClellan said, "There was nothing in there that would compromise national security."
Mr. McClellan's tone contrasted sharply with that of administration officials after the N.S.A. story broke in December. Mr. Bush told a news conference at the time: "My personal opinion is it was a shameful act for someone to disclose this very important program in a time of war. The fact that we're discussing this program is helping the enemy."
Others picked up the theme, including Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and Porter J. Goss, the C.I.A. director. On Feb. 2, Mr. Goss told a Senate committee, "It is my hope that we will witness a grand jury investigation with reporters present being asked to reveal who is leaking this information."

Penn State amended the contract of head football coach Bill O'Brien on Thursday, with the 2012 Bear Bryant Award recipient receiving a pay raise of nearly $1 million for the upcoming season.
O'Brien was due to receive a five percent increase on his 2012 salary of $950,000 under his original contract, but will now earn a base sum of $1.932 million after guiding the turmoil-ridden Nittany Lions' program to an 8-4 record along with a 6-2 mark in Big Ten play during his first year on the job.
The 43-year-old O'Brien inherited a Penn State team rocked by NCAA sanctions and numerous player defections in the wake of the sex abuse scandal involving former longtime assistant Jerry Sandusky. The controversy led to the PSU Board of Trustees to fire the legendary Joe Paterno in November of 2011, with the Hall of Fame head coach dying of lung cancer just two months later at the age of 84.
O'Brien was able to navigate those challenges and led the Nittany Lions to a second-place finish in the Leaders Division of the Big Ten, while his eight overall victories were the most by a first-year coach in PSU history.
For his accomplishments, O'Brien received the Bryant Award honoring college football's national coach of the year, and was named the Big Ten's Coach of the Year as well.
"In the face of great adversity, Bill did a tremendous job with all facets of the Penn State football program," Penn State athletics director Dave Joyner said in a statement. "This rightly recognizes Bill's outstanding achievements in guiding our student-athletes on and off the field."
The Nittany Lions were not eligible for a bowl last season due to the NCAA penalties levied against the program, with the ban to run through the 2015 campaign.

There have been many players who have been labelled 'journeymen' over the years - famed for their club-hopping abilities and their seemingly unsettled nature.
Peter Crouch, for example, has played for many top clubs including Liverpool, Southampton, Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
But what about players who have played for a club in each of the top four divisions in England, whether that be a fairytale rise to Premier League fame, or a deadly decline to the doldrums.
We've compiled a list of eleven players who have managed to appear for at least one club in each of England's top four divisions.

Last week we blogged about Rachel in Kenya, who received a school uniform through money saved from sponsorship benefits.
Providing children with the required uniform, books and supplies does not guarantee they will learn. The quality of the school has a significant impact on the child's education.
Manjula lives in the Rasulpura slum in Hyderabad, India, with her two children. Her 12-year-old daughter, Aarthi, is sponsored through CFCA's Hope for a Family program. Manjula earns about $60 a month as a maid.
She has switched Aarthi to a different school twice because of overcrowded classrooms. One class of Aarthi's had 60 schoolchildren.
"It became very difficult for the children to follow the class," Manjula said. "There was no personal attention towards the children."
Manjula uses Aarthi's sponsorship funds to help pay the higher school fees at Aarthi's current school.
"It is a better school in our locality," Manjula said. "Each class is in a separate room. Benches are there. Teachers are also good."
Like CFCA projects in Kenya, the Hyderabad project deposits sponsorship funds into a child account. Parents decide how to use the funds with oversight from their CFCA social worker.
CFCA sponsorship can impact other siblings in the family, too. Because Aarthi is sponsored, Manjula belongs to a CFCA mothers group. She borrowed money from her group's collective savings program to send her son to school.

It takes more than a new experience to knock Carlos Salcido off his stride. Having played for five seasons in Europe with PSV Eindhoven and Fulham, won over 100 international caps and appeared at two FIFA World Cups™, there is little the 32-year-old Mexican left-back has not seen during his career.
Even so, the battle-hardened Salcido has had to take on a couple of new roles in representing his country at the Men's Olympic Football Tournament London 2012. Quite apart from the fact the Olympics has an atmosphere all of its own, with football sharing the limelight with a host of other sports, the veteran has been fulfilling entirely different tasks to the ones he is accustomed to, both on and off the pitch.
Speaking to FIFA.com after his side had beaten Switzerland 1-0 to top Group B and tee up a quarter-final with Senegal at Wembley on Saturday, the seasoned Salcido said: "I'm having to adjust to a lot of things. First of all I'm playing in midfield, and then there's the fact that I'm an old hand in a team that's almost entirely made up of youngsters."
On the pitch El Tri coach Luis Fernando Tena has him occupying a holding role in front of the two central defenders, charging him with the job of instigating his side's attacks and distributing the ball. Having spent his entire career at left-back, it is a case of an old dog learning new tricks.
"They've got me playing there now that I've just gone back to Mexico," said Salcido, referring to his move to Tigres less than a year ago. "After so many years at full-back, it's not been easy for me to adjust, though I'm trying hard to help the team."
He has also been helping the team in another way, one that seems to have taken him aback a little. As the most experienced member of a young side, the old stager has been making his voice heard and passing his wisdom on, not a straightforward task as a relatively new face in a squad which has been together for some time now.
"This is virtually the same squad that won the Pan-American Games (in Guadalajara last year) and the Toulon Tournament this year," he explained. "The players know each other very well and it's not been easy to come into the side just like that. It's tough, but the young guys have given me a great welcome."
His value to the side became clear during Mexico's decisive final group against Switzerland. Helping to rally the team after a poor first-half showing, Salcido engaged in a lengthy dressing-room conversation with coach Tena and his fresh-faced colleagues, one that proved crucial to their eventual qualification for the last eight.
"We had a long chat, mainly about the psychological side of things and the fact that we needed to be relaxed if we were going pick our game up, which is what we then went out and did," he explained. "Things have only got better and better since we started working together. I hope I can keep on making a contribution, even if I'm doing so in a new and different way."

Romantic Valentines Day Ideas
Every year we notice different questions being asked on romantic valentines day ideas, but very few answers go into detail on how to create that type of ambiance. Switch things up this Valentine's Day with these unique ideas that are sure to impress her or him.
Two of the most important things to keep in mind are the lighting and essence of the location. Whether it's at home or outdoors, personalization is very important and should be tailored to the mood you're trying to create. Warm colors are best, and a few candles complete the romantic setting, but they can also serve as decorations that add a distinctive aroma. If candles aren't ideal for your setting use flowers to add color and a sweet fragrance.

1) Liberty Fund conferences attract idea geeks -- people who will stay up until 2;00 AM debating the merits and demerits of different ideas. That's kind of the point of these things.Idea geeks. Okay. Well, my experience in legal academia is that people who try to get into the idea geek zone need to get their pretensions punctured right away. The sharp lawprof types I admire always see a veneer on top of something more important, and our instinct is to peel it off. What is your love of this idea really about? That's our method.
2) I've never encountered any racist attitudes, ideas, or even the benign neglect of these attitudes at these conferences.
3) At these conferences I have, on occasion, encountered a personality type that I suspect gave Althouse the willies -- people so besotted with the positive appeal of an abstract idea that they will argue in its defense against any and all comers. Indeed, they consider this a pleasurable activity. The worst of these lot will pooh-pooh valid counterarguments or appeals to pragmatism as besides the Big Point they are trying to make. Let's call these people True Believers.
4) Give that these are Liberty Fund conferences, I would wager that libertarians comprise a high percentage of True Believers at these functions compared to other ideologies.
5) Despite point (4), True Believers make up a very small minority of overall Liberty Fund attendees. Indeed, with the acknowledgment that modern liberals are probably the least represented group at these functions, the intellectual and professional diversity of these conferences is pretty broad.
6) I'm enough of an idea geek that I'm usually glad that one or two True Believers are in attendance, because it forces me to keep my arguments sharp in a Millian sense of debate.
7) The overwhelmingly predominant personality type in attendance at these functions are Contrarians. Wich [sic], of course, makes consensus pretty much a logical impossibility.
We are here to harsh your geek zone mellow.

This is the famous, NY Times no-knead bread recipe from Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery in NYC. And yes, I'm late to the party. The first time it was published was four years ago – in 2006. I don't know what took me so long to embrace this method. I made it after dinner and by noon the next day it was ready for the oven – with minimal work and actual hands-on time. The long resting period replaces the kneading process, doing the work for you. All it takes is five minutes to bring the 4-ingredient dough together and start the process. Who doesn't have five minutes to make fresh bread the way bread ought to be made?
With wholesome ingredients we can pronounce and feel good about eating?
Flour, a small amount of yeast, salt and water are mixed together to form a 'shaggy' and very sticky dough. (I swap out half the white flour with Whole Wheat with good results.) The dough then sits on the counter for a 12-18 hour resting process. The next morning I turned out the dough folding it over a couple of times and allowed it to rise again for two hours. At which time it gets carefully 'plopped' into a large, pre-heated pot and covered to bake.
By noon – 18 hours later – the irresistible, distinctive smell of fresh, yeasty bread was wafting through my house. I ate a piece straight away, hot and steamy, smeared in cold butter. It has the best flavor and texture. Dense and chewy on the inside and crusty on the outside. Like artisan bakery bread. But so insanely easy.
Your five minutes starts now…

They were chosen for this honor through a competitive process held this year across the state at District, Region and Area levels. This is Whitney's third time to perform as a member of a TMEA All-State organization and Alexa's first.
"We are very proud of Whitney and Alexa's accomplishment of earning a place in the Texas All State Band. These two students are truly deserving of the highest honor a student can achieve while in high school" stated GHS Band Director Eric Gray
High school students selected to perform in the All-State concerts have competed through several levels of auditions beginning in the fall of 2013 to arrive at the state level. All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive. Over 1,500 students are selected through a process that began with over 60,000 students from around the state vying for this honor to perform in one of 14 ensembles (bands, orchestras and choirs). Texas Music Educators Association sponsors the Texas All-State competition. This competitive process begins throughout the state in auditions hosted by 28 TMEA Regions. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to compete against musicians from other areas in seven TMEA Area competitions. The highest-ranking musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualify to perform in a TMEA All-State music group.
These All-State students participate in three days of rehearsals directed by nationally-recognized conductors during the TMEA Clinic/Convention. Their performances for thousands of attendees bring this extraordinary event to a close. For the All-State concert schedule and conductor information, go to www.tmea.org/convention.
The Texas Music Educators Association is an association of over 11,000 school music educators dedicated to promoting excellence in music education. Go to www.tmea.org/convention for more information.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – East Carolina drew a season-high 13 walks and recorded seven hits, but left 17 runners stranded on the base Tuesday dropping a midweek tilt to UNC Greensboro, 6-5, at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
The Pirates (8-8), who trailed 6-3 in the latter stages of the contest, rallied to score a pair of runs in the eighth pulling within one. In the ninth, ECU had the potential game-tying run on second base with two outs, but Adam Swim got Dylan Brown to send a grounder down the first base side for the final out thwarting the ECU rally.
Eric Tyler drew his third walk of the contest to start the ninth and was immediately lifted for Jonathan Holt as a pinch runner. Kirk Morgan pushed Holt into scoring position with a sac bunt down the first base line recording the first out of the stanza. Drew Reynolds followed by flying out to left setting up a show down with ECU's hottest hitter in Zach Houchins. But UNCG (7-8) took the bat out of Houchins' hand when he was intentionally walked, his third free pass of the contest, before Brown ended the game with a ground out.
Blair Betts (1-0) picked up his first win of the season in relief tossing 1.1 scoreless frames. Starter Tyler Long worked four strong innings giving up a run (earned) on two hits with five walks before being lifted for Caleb Henley, who tossed two-thirds of an inning allowing two runs (both earned). Brennen James had and scoreless frame before passing the ball to Swim, who recorded his first save of the year. The right-hander worked the final two frames allowing both Pirate runs in the eighth.
David Lucroy (0-3) suffered the loss giving up four runs (all earned) on seven hits with a pair of walks in three innings. Nick Durazo relieved him in the fourth tossing three innings of relief giving up a run on a fielder's choice and a wild pitch. Ryan Williams kept the Pirates in the game scattering one hit over the final three frames with two strikeouts.
The Spartans took an early 2-0 lead in the second marking the 15th time this season that the Pirates' opponent struck first. Nick Chapman and Jake Hall recorded consecutive singles and Julian Abreu moved them over on a sac bunt. Long singled to center plating Chapman and Zac MacAneney plated Hall on a bunt back to mound.
Walks and wild pitches led to both of UNCG's runs in the fourth extending the Spartan lead to four, 4-0. Long and MacAneney drew consecutive walks and moved around the bases on a pair of wild pitches, one of which scored Long. MacAneney crossed home on Sean Guite's sac fly to center.
ECU broke through in the bottom of the fourth on Morgan's sac fly that plated Reid Love, who started the inning reaching after being hit by a pitch. Garrett Brooks walked putting runners on first and second and Joshua Lovick's sac bunt moved them into scoring position. Tyler's first walk of the day loaded the bases setting up Morgan's fourth RBI of the season.
In the fifth, the Pirates pushed across two more runs pulling within one, 4-3. Houchins walked, took second on a wild pitch and landed on third on Ben Fultz' infield single. Love reached on another infield single that plated Houchins and with two outs both executed a double steal to get into scoring position. Lovick and Tyler drew consecutive walks, which scored Fultz.
A fielder's choice and another wild pitch accounted for UNCG's final two runs of the game in the sixth, which extended the lead to 6-3.
Once again ECU pulled within one, 6-5, after scoring a pair of runs in the eighth. Houchins welcomed Swim to the game with a double on his first pitch offering and took third on Brown's ground out to short. Fultz followed with a walk before Love drove in his second run of the game with a base hit to right field. A passed ball advanced Fultz to third and Love to second before Brooks' grounder to short pushed across Fultz.
Offensively, Fultz and Love accounted for four of ECU's seven hits, while Houchins and Reynolds both laced doubles to extend their hitting streaks to five games.
ECU will be back in action Wednesday, Mar. 12 when it travels to Wilson, N.C. to take on Atlantic Coast Conference member Wake Forest at Historic Fleming Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. (EST).

Another example of huge potential hitting self-destruct. Just a misdemeanor, but how many more can Jimbo Fisher let go?

Wait.. nevermind.
I always wondered why that kid wasn't rushing for like 1500 yards. Every time I watch him I am amazed by how good he is physically...big, strong, fast. He is a stud. That's too bad.
His dad was the only weapon the Tampa Bay Bucs had for years. In 1984 he set a record for combined rushes and receptions with 492. This kid has the potential to be that kind of workhorse.
gotta get them all in before midnight!
He was driving with a suspended license. While illegal, I wouldn't put this in the "major offense" category.
...someone around here might have gotten in trouble for the same thing recently. Alas, I don't recall the details.
Had a College Football Department. This is very irrelevant.
Not James Wilder, but epic mullet for this guy in the Leon county booking report:
I got $10 on illegal possession of prescription drugs...
Looks like they had to pull back as far as possible to get his head in that shot. The cop is probably standing in the parking lot.
As amazing as the mullet is, the manicured eyebrows really are the icing on the cake
Epic forehead.
A fivehead you might say.
And ears, if I may say so.
Or at least get their brains caught up to their actions.
all he needs is a douchey soul patch, to go with that chin bush. that chin bush does have potential to be epic though.
show a movie on that thing
I think he was already featured on national TV
the Bosley people didn't start his hairline low enough
Here's some more detail - (LINK)
From their write-up:
"Following that second arrest in late June, Wilder vowed to watch himself better. He also spoke often about how the time away from football had him focused on never wanting to end up in a similar situation again."
The second arrest, as some might know, was a probation violation. Warchant.com said that this recent arrest was about missing a court date related to the suspended license.

Re: GTAV Template
That's not a problem! Generally speaking, on GTW templates should work as they come without having to align/float them, except in unusual situations. Here we thrive on revising others' edits, and on having our own edits patched up by others. Even the staff make mistakes and get things wrong. The hardest part is writing new content, which is what we really need. Fixing it up can come later! But yes your edits are being positively received, keep up the good work! gboyers talk 12:07, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to the Wiki!
Hey I've noticed you've been putting in a lot of work here at the Wiki. You've made browsing the Recent Edits very easy by continuing to put Summaries, a lot of users don't bother but it can really waste another editors time trying to check each edit to make sure it's acceptable for the Wiki. Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions regarding the GTA series. Also, how stoaked are you for Grand Theft Auto V? Grand Theft AJ (talk|edits) 22:46, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
RE: Animals page
Hi there, and thanks for your feedback! I haven't been particularly active on here for quite some time now - partly due to loss of interest in GTA right now (until GTA V is released). However, I still care enormously about this wiki, and just because I'm not editing, that doesn't mean I'm not on the site everyday! I regularly scan Recent Edits, mainly for talk page edits and discussions that I can help out with. I've seen a lot of your edits, and they are always of high quality - Plus you regularly use talk pages to discuss things, which is great! Keep up the good work, and I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future. JFletcherTalk (formerly User:Biggest gta fan ever) 02:36, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi IanPhoenix. You have been nominated for promotion to Administrator. Please edit your nomination page, indicating whether you accept the nomination. If you do accept, please answer the questions on that page. Other members may add further questions before I make the final decision over the course of the next week. Good luck! gboyers talk 21:49, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- Congratulations, you have been promoted to Administrator! This has given you access to additional tools to be able to help keep this wiki running smoothly, such as deleting pages (where it is spam, vandalism or there is a consensus amongst users) and banning troublesome users (with adequate justification). Have an explore of Special:SpecialPages and get acquainted with your new tools. Feel free to ask me any questions you have! gboyers talk 22:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Just wanting to say thanks for the nomination and acceptance to those involved. I feel as time goes on, my editing skills only get better, and with the nomination, I've been paying attention to the stuff that I will need to with my new role, as you may have noticed with a couple of my recent edits. Though it may seem I didn't edit for a few days, I was still active here, patrolling edits and seeing what needed help. I will continue to work the way I have been here, just adding a little more responsibility to that. -Ian Phoenix (talk|edits) 00:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Re: Patrolling Broken
- In reply to Patrolling broken?
Sorry to hear that the mark as patrol button is not working for you. I used to have the same problem but I'm now able to use that. I haven't changed anything on my end, so I don't know how to help on that. A 'mark as patrol' button should appear in the bottom right of the new page, if you click on the new pages link. If you click here the 'mark this page as patrolled' link should be next to the enemies part of the infobox. Hope that helps. A-Dust 14:27, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
- It did help, except for the talk pages I created in January regarding the misspelling of the image pages (here and here). I'm sure the fact that the pages have been moved since then is why. Is there a way to clear these out or will they permanently be unpatrolled? Ian Phoenixtalk 02:45, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- You can also use the New Pages button on RecentChanges and change the selection to 'File Talk' located here. From there if you click the links the button to patrol the edit will appear. A-Dust 17:13, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I know you said you don't really want to get too involved with the problems of the Wiki, so I do appreciate the help. Ian Phoenixtalk 21:49, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
What I mean by the Userbox Template not work this that whenever I go to it it says that it need the documentation and when I click on it it needs to be crated. So can you or somebody else crate it? Thanks --Debolars (talk|edits) 22:12, 13 April 2013 (UTC)Jacob
Thanks for the Infobox! :) --Debolars (talk|edits) 11:58, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Jacob

Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain lose 3-2 to Sochaux, Lyon thrash Bordeaux 4-0
Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain suffered a shock 3-2 defeat at Sochaux on Sunday, while Lyon thrashed Bordeaux 4-0.
Last Updated: 17/02/13 10:55pm
PSG saw their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings slashed in half. They had looked to have taken a stranglehold on the title race after a run of four successive victories saw them open a six-point gap at the summit going into this weekend's fixtures.
But with new signing David Beckham's debut still on hold while he gains match fitness and the in-form Lucas Moura injured, Carlo Ancelotti's men came unstuck against relegation-battling Sochaux at the Stade Bonal.
Alex gave the league leaders a 29th-minute lead but Sochaux hit back soon after to level through Sebastian Roudet before Giovanni Sio put the home side ahead in the 54th minute.
An enthralling encounter looked to have swung back PSG's way when they equalised through Blaise Matuidi 14 minutes from time but, rather than the big-spending Parisians going on and finding a winner, it was Sochaux who snatched a deserved victory thanks to sub Cedric Bakambu's goal six minutes from time.
That defeat meant PSG's advantage at the top of the table had been cut back to three points by Lyon, who saw off Bordeaux earlier in the day.
Two goals by Clement Grenier, one from the penalty spot, and further strikes from Alexandre Lacazette and Gueida Fofana earned Lyon their first four-goal victory at the Stade Chaban-Delmas since 1977.
In Sunday's other match, fifth-placed St Etienne were held to a 1-1 draw at struggling Reims. St Etienne took a 10th-minute lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Gaetan Courtet salvaged a point for Reims with an equaliser 14 minutes from time.
