Underexpression of VSNL1 is associated with glioblastoma multiforme.
These data indicate that VILIP-1 alone or in combination with other AD CSF biomarkers represent a valuable marker for the early diagnosis of AD, recognition of MCI patients at higher risk to develop dementia, and in differentiating AD from LBD.
These findings suggest a unique role for cerebrospinal fluid Vilip-1 as a biomarker of entorhinal cortex neuron loss in Alzheimer disease
The results suggest that both serum and cerebrospinal fluid levels of VILIP-1 may be one of predictive markers of acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures.
We show for the first time that the C-terminus of VILIP-1, containing Cys187, might represent a novel redox-sensitive motif and that VILIP-1 dimerization and aggregation are hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Results show that in the presence of calcium, N-myristoylation significantly increases the kinetic rate of VILIP adsorption to the membrane.
The results showed that the CSF VILIP-1 level had significantly increased in Alzheimer disease patients compared with both normal controls and Lewy body dementia patients.
SNPs upstream of SLC2A9 and within VSNL1 showed strongest evidence for association with AD + P when compared with controls.
VSNL1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and pathological changes in VILIP-1 protein expression, possibly occurring during brain development, may contribute to the morphological and functional deficits observed in schizophrenia.
Patients with high VSNL-1 expression had significantly poorer prognosis than those with low expression in stage III disease
The findings suggest that CSF VILIP-1 and VILIP-1/Abeta42 predict rates of global cognitive decline similarly to tau and tau/Abeta42, and may be useful CSF surrogates for neurodegeneration in early Alzheimer disease.
VSNL1 may play a role in the pathophysiology of aldosterone-producing adenomas harboring mutations in the potassium channel KCNJ5 via its antiapoptotic function in response to calcium cytotoxicity and its effect on aldosterone production.
Data suggest that CSF VILIP-1 and VILIP-1/Abeta42 offer diagnostic utility for early AD, and can predict future cognitive impairment in cognitively normal individuals similarly to tau and tau/Abeta42, respectively.
VILIP-1 forms a dimer in solution independent of Ca(2+) and myristoylation. The dimerization site is composed of residues in EF4 and the loop region between EF3 and EF4, confirmed by mutagenesis.
Results show that VILIP-1 regulates the cell surface localization of natriuretic peptide receptor B.
A shift in the cellular expression of visinin-like protein 1 has been found in the hipppocampi of schizophrenics, since fewer pyramidal neurons but more interneurons show immunoreactivity.
EF-hand motifs in visinin-like protein 1
The interaction of human VILIP1 and VILIP3 with divalent cations was explored using circular dichroism and fluorescence measurement.
VILIP-1 is expressed in pancreatic beta-cells. Increased VILIP-1 enhanced insulin secretion in a cAMP-associated manner. Down-regulation of VILIP-1 was accompanied by decreased cAMP accumulation but increased insulin gene transcription
Distinct roles of proliferative and invasive phenotypes contributing to neuroblastoma progression which demonstrates that VSNL-1 is important in neuroblastoma metastasis.
Findings indicate that VILIP-1 is involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells by regulating the transcription factor Snail1 in a cAMP-dependent manner.
VSNL1 expresses exclusively in atrial cardiomyocytes during embryogenesis.
VILIP-1 overexpression decreases the susceptibility to skin carcinogenesis in experimental mouse cancer models, thus supporting its role as a tumor suppressor gene
Data show that VILIP-1 led to reduced migration of aggressive SCC cells depending on cAMP levels.
Vsnl1 marks ureteric bud tips in embryonic kidneys, and its mosaic pattern demonstrates a heterogeneity of cell types that may be critical for normal ureteric branching.
Decreased or absent VILIP-1 expression in SCC cell subpopulations may lead to a more advanced malignant phenotype characterized by changes in adhesive ability and increased cell motility, suggestive of a tumor suppressor function
VILIP1 constitutively binds to P2X2 receptors and displays enhanced interactions in an activation- and calcium-dependent manner owing to exposure of its binding segment in P2X2 receptors
This gene is a member of the visinin/recoverin subfamily of neuronal calcium sensor proteins. The encoded protein is strongly expressed in granule cells of the cerebellum where it associates with membranes in a calcium-dependent manner and modulates intracellular signaling pathways of the central nervous system by directly or indirectly regulating the activity of adenylyl cyclase. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature has not been determined.

Buying a house is like planning a wedding; most of us don't do it often, so most people aren't very good at it. Here are a few pointers based on common mistakes I see people make:
Don't shop for homes on Zillow.
I'd like to be a company man and tell you to use windermere.com to conduct your home search, but let's be honest…a serious home buyer should be using redfin.com. It's by far the best search experience. The mobile app is amazing too; you'll receive listing alerts while you're on the bus or walking through the grocery store, so you can send a new listing to your spouse or real estate agent instantly. Zillow's data is often outdated or inaccurate, as any serious home buyer will eventually discover.
Don't go to the bank to get pre-approved.
The question of where to get a home loan has long been a soap box issue for me. Your retail bank is most likely not the right choice for a home loan. Small local lenders deliver great service and great pricing. A good lender won't just be there to help you close on the sale of your home; she'll also help your odds of being the winning offer. (Quick tip: avoid Chase and B of A.)
Don't call the listing agent.
Buying a home is not like buying a car. When you buy a car, the dealership provides a salesperson who represents the dealership, but no one represents the buyer (no matter what they tell you). When you buy a home, you have your own agent whose job is to represent your interests and goals. If you don't think your agent represents your interests and goals, find a different agent fast!
Don't choose an agent because she's on the page of a home you like on Zillow.
There are better ways to find a good real estate agent. Here are a few:
- Ask your friends or co-workers for a referral.
- Use Zillow's "Agent Finder" tool. It sounds hokey, but this tool is actually pretty useful as long as you know to look past the "Featured Agents" (read: they paid to be there). You can sort the results by things like most local sales or best reviews.
- Ask your mortgage lender who she would recommend based on where you're looking to buy.
Don't compromise on what matters most.
Most of us make a compromise or two when buying a home. But don't compromise on the things you really care about. Moving is expensive and time consuming, so find a home you can live with for the long haul even if it takes longer. Location and square footage are really tough to change. Aesthetics are easy! Plus you'll enjoy making it your own over time.

When I was sick and lay a-bed
I had two pillows at my head
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.
Robert Louis Stevenson, The Land Of Counterpane
As a child, I was often sick - not with anything really serious, but I was prone to recurring bouts of bronchitis and asthma. My mother tended to be overprotective, and would put me to bed at the first sign of a sniffle. This was one of my favorite poems, because it helped me to imagine my bed as a place of adventure, rather than confinement. I too could "send my ships in fleets all up and down among the sheets," or "bring my trees and houses out and plant cities all about." I never resented the time I spent in bed, even if my friends were outside playing, when I was able to create adventures in my very own "pleasant Land of Counterpane."

Back in September, when I made "Four High-Profit Predictions About Pot Stock Investing in 2018," I recommended investors get prepared for what I believe will be one of the most significant moneymaking triggers we've ever seen…
I'm talking about California, of course, and its upcoming Jan. 1, 2018, total legalization of marijuana.
That means medical patients and adult recreational users alike will be able to use cannabis and buy from legitimate, regulated businesses starting Jan. 1 in California.
Now, as you know, legal marijuana is already booming in the 29 U.S. states where recreational and/or medical cannabis is legal.
But California, the nation's most populous state and, indeed, the world's sixth-largest economy, is in a class by itself.
Total legalization here could open up the money floodgates for folks who own the right stocks.
So let's look at what we know so far… and why this is huge news for small pot stocks.
New Laws Put the Market in Much Clearer Focus
So, we knew legalization in California was going to be "big," and now that the California Bureau of Cannabis Control has released 276 pages of regulations that the Golden State's marijuana businesses must abide by next year, we've got a better idea of where this is going.
Because, as one of my "rules" for cannabis investing goes, "When laws pass, pot stocks soar."
New Legislation: Cannabis gains could blow the doors off anything we've seen so far. Click here for more…
The numbers here are absolutely staggering. California's market is bigger than any U.S. state, and even than all of Canada. We're talking $7 billion a year – just to start.
Arcview Group expects revenue to jump to more than $21 billion by 2021.
I'll show you why the Golden State might as well change its name to the Green State; it's about to become ground zero for pot stock profits.
These regulations should be great for California's weed market. They do mostly what I expected, although, as you'll see, there are a few welcome surprises, too.
They're largely common-sense steps designed to make the market work and keep users and non-users alike safe. That's great news for investors.
Take a look…

Well she WAS a ballerina! Charlize Theron gracefully springs in the air wearing a white one-piece during beachside Miami photo shoot
Before she found fame as a Hollywood actress, she was a ballerina, and even attended the renowned Joffrey Ballet School in New York.
So it's not much of a surprise that Charlize Theron would make otherwise awkward movements look graceful.
The 38-year-old looked elegant as she jumped in the air while simultaneously throwing a ball during a beachside photo shoot in Miami, Florida on Thursday.
Natural grace: Charlize Theron elegantly jumped in the air during a photo shoot on Thursday in Miami, Florida
Charlize showed off her flawless figure in a white bathing suit, covering her top half somewhat with a sheer white hoodie.
She wore her short blonde hair wet and wavy, and sported natural make-up, save for a generous dusting of bronzer along her cheeks.
Charlize appeared to be having a blast during the shoot, giggling as she threw the ball in the air.
Having a ball: Charlize giggled as she larked around with the beach ball
Up in the air: Charlize jumped in the air as she expertly handled the ball
Natural beauty: Charlize wore her hair naturally wavy and opted for bronzer on her cheeks
Look at her go! Charlize leaped into the air, her foot bent behind her and her toes pointed
At one point, Charlize leaped into the air, her foot bent behind her and her toes pointed.
She somehow managed to keep a handle on the beach ball, twirling it and balancing it in her hand.
All the while photographer Mario Testino snapped pictures of the gorgeous blonde.
Where did it go: Charlize looked expectantly in the air before clutching the ball triumphantly as she bent over
Angelic: Charlize wore a white one-piece and a sheer white hoodie
This is hilarious: Charlize was seen walking across the sand bent over in laughter
She's in good hands: All the while photographer Mario Testino snapped pictures of the gorgeous blonde
Can I see? Charlize took a peek at some of the shots during a break
Earlier in the day, Charlize wore a black one-shoulder swimsuit for the shoot, this time displaying her athletic prowess on a jet ski.
The star looked phenomenal as she rode through the waves in Miami.
Sporting prowess: Charlize showed off her figure and athletic abilities on a jet ski during the photo shoot earlier in the day
Charlize displayed her muscular arms in the bathing suit, which featured criss-crossing ties on the side.
The Oscar winner appeared to be having fun, confidently steering the jet ski through the water.
Model assets: The South African beauty looked flawless in the black one-shoulder swimsuit
She's got it down: Charlize looked incredibly confident as she zoomed through the water
Cool chick: Charlize donned blue aviator shades at one point as she steered the machine
Meanwhile, Charlize posed and pouted like a pro during the same photo shoot on Wednesday.
The actress showed off her incredible figure in four different bathing suits, two black two-pieces, a white one and a daring silver bikini.
The first black bathing suit, featured a one-shouldered cropped top which showed off her toned tummy.
Looking good: Charlize poses in a bikini during her latest photo shoot Miami, Florida on Wednesday
She paired it with matching black briefs as she posed like a pro on a boat in Florida.
The second black bikini was a simple bra top and bottoms but she threw on a pair of yoga pants over it.
Getting ready: An assistant tends to the actress's hair while another holds an umbrella aloft, protecting her from the sun
Here she comes: Charlize Theron wore four different outfits in one day for her latest photo-shoot
A white bikini was barely covered up with a see-through white dress while the fourth was a daring metallic bathing suit.
And that wasn't the only outfit she wore on her busy day.
Charlize was alternatively seen in a pair of denim cutoffs and a vest top, a white dress with a see-through hem, a plain white dress and some cycling shorts.
Model subject: Charlize was a pro as she showed off her body in a number of different outfits
Back to her roots: Model-turned-actress Charlize Theron showed off her flawless figure during a photo shoot in Miami on Wednesday
And then there were three: It's been claimed that Charlize and Jackson are set to move in with her boyfriend Sean Penn
Soaking up the sun: She may have been hard at work but Charlize still got to enjoy the sunshine
Au natural: Charlize appeared to be wearing minimal make-up on the shoot but still looked fabulous
Flawless: Sean Penn will be feeling lucky that he has snapped up the blonde beauty when he sees these shots
Hard at work: Charlize showed off her sculpted physique in a metallic bikii as she hit the beach for her photo shoot
Hope the water's warm: Charlize got into the water in yet another bikini in Florida on Wednesday
No rest for the wicked: It didn't take long before Charlize was striding around in a metallic bikini and a pair of white shorts
Lap of luxury: Charlize even had her own umbrella holder on the set of the photo shoot
The beautiful blonde sported wet-look hair on the shoot, which took place on a boat.
Despite her hectic day, she was spotted laughing and joking with the crew.
Charlie kept her make-up natural, highlighting her eyes with smokey shadow and her cheekbones with a dusting of bronzer.
Mommy mode: Charlize slipped into yet another bikini to joke around with her son Jackson between takes
And one more: Charlize opted for a white bikini under a see-through white dress as she joked around with Jackson
Fun in the sun: Giggling Jackson couldn't contain his Glee as he played with his mother during a break from her shoot
Dressed down: Charlize opted for a vest top and denim shorts as she took a break from shooting
Cool customer: Jackson donned a pair of sunglasses as he held an Elmo toy at the beach
A different style: Charlize mixed things up with a one piece later on in the day
Her main man: Charlize didn't miss a single opportunity to spend time with her adorable son
But the most important person for her as ever was her young son Jackson, who she cuddled up to between takes.
Charlize slipped effortlessly into 'mom' mode as she doted on son Jackson.
The smitten mother was spotted playing with Jackson whenever she got the chance.
Like mother, like son: Charlize wasn't the only one who changed her clothes numerous times, Jackson also wore a number of different outfits
Just the two of us: The duo couldn't have looked happier as they joked around between takes
Their own photo shoot: A pal captured some pictures of Charlize and her son on her phone during a break from the photo shoot
Meanwhile, Charlize and her new boyfriend Sean Penn, 53, are allegedly already talking about moving in together and getting married.
The pair have been inseparable since spending the holidays in Hawaii.
And new aerial shots of Sean's house hint that he's already baby-proofed his place with a fence around the swimming pool, and added a trampoline, suggesting Charlize and Jackson may already be calling his place home.
It's not all work: Charlize shared a giggle with the crew while shooting pictures for her photo shoot
Smouldering: Charlize worked it like a pro as she got back to business in Florida
She's a pro: Charlize smouldered in white during a photoshoot in Florida on Wednesday
Model good looks: The statuesque beauty first wore a fitted white dress that sported tassels at the hem
Natural beauty: Charlie wore her blonde hair wet and slicked back and kept her make-up natural, highlighting her eyes with smokey shadow and her cheekbones with a dusting of bronzer

Nestlé Removes Christian Cross from Greek Yogurt Packaging So Muslims Aren't Offended
Joining a growing trend in Europe to abolish Christian imagery to avoid offending other "sensibilities," Nestlé has removed the image of a Christian cross from its Greek yogurt packaging featuring an Orthodox church on the island of Santorini.
Whereas in real life the blue dome of the iconic Anastasis church is surmounted by a white cross, the image of the church used for publicity has been photo-shopped to remove the offending Christian symbol.
In eliminating the cross, Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company, has mimicked the choice of supermarket giant Lidl for its similar packaging. To justify its decision, Lidl said they were expunging the cross so as "not to hurt sensibility of other religions."
The doctored images of the church were used for the packaging of Lidl's Eridanous brand Greek-style yogurt — an in-house label which also includes a range of feta cheese, moussaka, and pistachio products.
A spokesman for the supermarket chain, which has hundreds of stores throughout Europe and the United Kingdom, explained the modifications by saying: "We avoid the use of religious symbols because we do not wish to exclude any religious beliefs."
The spokesman added: "We are a company that respects diversity and this is what explains the design of this packaging."
The irony, of course, is that the removal of the cross is a destruction of diversity, by refusing to acknowledge the historical, cultural, and religious importance of the symbol. The company is, in fact, fighting exclusion by excluding Christian symbolism.

Django Unchained [2012]
IMDb listing
CNS/USCCB review
Michael Phillips' review
Richard Roeper's review
The Onion/AVClub's review
It's probably safe to say that American racists will probably not much like Django Unchained (written and directed by Quentin Tarantino). With characteristically blunt, often blood-splattering / bone-crushing humor (the film, like his previous Inglorious Basterds [2009] is definitely not for everybody) he and his cast and especially Inglorious Basterds' academy award winner Christoph Waltz go after the actual savagery of America's Original Sin -- racism/slavery. Yes, this is not a pretty film. Both African-American director Spike Lee and the CNS/USCCB's media office have definite issues with its violence. But whereas Quentin Tarantino has produced films with utterly over-the-top blood-splattering violence with no discernible point at all (Kill Bill [2004] comes to mind ...), IMHO at least (and I know there will be people who will disagree with me) he has learned to "tame" / focus that violence in the service of the story/point that he has been trying to make in Inglorious Basterds [2009] and now Django Unchained [2012]: You don't much like the violence of these films? Well what about the violence of the Holocaust or of Slavery where the "Fuhrers" / Slave Masters could truly do whatever they want? I get the point. I'm sure that the vast majority of the viewers of QT's last two films get it as well. And I'm positive that both Quentin Tarantino and Christoph Waltz understood (and indeed were making) this point too.
Indeed, Christoph Waltz plays a somewhat "atoning role" as Dr. Schultz a German immigrant dentist who after coming to the United States in the 1840s-50s decided to go into the "bounty hunting" business instead. Looking for the African-American slave Django (played by Jamie Foxx) who could identify three white brothers wanted for crimes "back east," he "buys" him promising him freedom as soon as the two are able to bring the three brothers to justice "dead or alive" (and it's actually far easier in the bounty hunting business to bring fugitive criminals to justice "dead" than "alive," assuming that they were identified correctly ...). It's a deal that Django "can't really refuse," but it's better than remaining in chains forever...
But upon hearing of Django's sad story -- that he once had an wife (also an African American slave) named Broomhilda (played by Kerry Washington) who was taken away from him (both were sold off to different owners) at the whim of their slave owner -- and no doubt touched by Django's wife's somewhat surprising and evocative German name (she was named Broomhilda because her original slave owners were German, and Broomhilda is derived from the German mythological maiden named Brunhilde who had been saved by Siegfried from the clutches of the, in this case, vengeful Nordic God Wotan), Dr. Schultz decides to help Django. He tells Django, "As a German, I'm obligated to help a Siegfried recover his Brunhilde."
In doing so, Christoph Waltz plays in this film not merely a "good German," but honestly a "good white person," who sees the crimes against our common humanity perpetrated by members of his (my) own race and seeks to rectify them. Many depictions of blood splattering violence/vengeance ensue...
What to make of it? As I've already written above, let's remember the actual blood splattering violence that raced based slavery and a further century of subsequent Jim Crow segregation entailed: An excellent and thoroughly sober, methodical presentation of the horrors of Jim Crow era lynching is presented in the documentary Shadows of the Lynching Tree [2011]. And that violence was real.

Part 5
Our minds, or our egos, will continually tell us that self love is a fantasy to our well-being, or that the construction of a positive self image is not possible. Our heart space, on the other hand, will always try to compel us to treat ourselves as we would treat our lover, or best friend. It is with our thoughts that our inner conversation either affirms us or tears us down. For example, all of us have experienced regret in something we have said which caused hurt to another person, or that embarrassed us, or that caused a bad reaction in the other person. Our egoic mind is very quick to judge us and criticize us for the mistake. We have all felt the sting of thinking "I have ruined my relationship with her by what I said," or...."I know that my words hurt him, and I am sure he will tell others how stupid and cruel that I am". This causes us to worry, to be in fear, or to be miserable until the problem is resolved. Often times we even make the problem worse by taking some action to try to get ourselves off the hook. We are suffering because we did not love ourselves into a solution to the problem.
The beginning of learning to love ourselves is to be AWARE of our inner feelings toward ourselves and Love ourselves with those feelings. In the example above, when we realize we are suffering because of our worry over what we said, we allow ourselves to break the cycle of suffering by accepting and loving ourselves with all of those feelings.
Instead of sliding down the slope to self anger, panic, fear of losing the friend, and wishing that you had a time machine,
STOP right where you are and think about what you wished you had said instead......
"Now imagine just stopping, taking a breath, and experiencing the discomfort of these thoughts, but without any desire to mentally punish yourself. Feel the distress and the fear, OK, but leave off the thoughts that YOU are bad, and awful, etc. Now consider that it was not in your heart to intentionally hurt your friend. You made a mistake. If those who you love and love you make a mistake, will you stop loving them? No, you may talk to them or take some action but your love will continue.
Why not give yourself the same break you give those you love?
(Your desire to punish yourself by self-judgment, is born of longstanding habits of believing that if you judge yourself harshly it will change you for the better. In reality the opposite is true. As you love yourself with your imperfections and mistakes it releases your values for respect, kindness, consideration, compassion , and trust. As you recognize these values in yourself, you start to see them in others. As these values pervade your consciousness, you will begin to make life decisions based upon those values, and not by other charged emotions like fear, anger, and dissatisfaction.)
So instead of spending days worrying about what you said, get a plan. Your plan might include an apology. It might include doing something nice for your friend to get close again. When you get your plan set a timetable for it and implement it.
After it is over sit down by yourself and praise and love yourself for doing this in love for yourself, for your friend, and for the world.

Every year at this time, there's a palpable excitement among high school sports fans that's difficult to ignore.
It's football time.
Nothing against the other sports, which obviously provide their own particular brand of revelry. It probably can be explained by the infrequency of the schedule; playing once a week, or sometimes once every two weeks, makes each contest a special event.
Too, the commencement of high school football is greeted with huge crowds that reconnect with each other while watching rivalries be renewed, and then still enjoy the possibility of heading back to the shore for the rest of the weekend.
In a time-honored tradition at CatholicPhilly.com (the digital successor to The Catholic Standard and Times), we bring you a roundup of the first weekend of competition featuring Catholic League high school teams.
Defending AAAA champion La Salle is on a rebuilding plan, but don't tell that to usually rugged North Penn High School. In Plymouth Meeting, the Explorers walloped the Knights, 34-7, leaving North Penn senior quarterback Austin Shearer flabbergasted.
"That team can play," he said. "We did all we could to stop them from getting through the line. They just … they just kept getting through."
Before it was over, the Explorers dominated on both sides of the ball en route to the victory.
Whatever North Penn attempted, La Salle had an answer. Typically one of the area's best running teams, La Salle's powerful defensive line and aggressive linebackers thwarted almost every North Penn attempt. The Explorers allowed only 66 yards of total offense in the first half and 163 for the game – much of that against non-starters.
Meanwhile, La Salle's offense was splendid, amassing 410 total yards. Junior quarterback Kyle Shurmur, a transfer student whose father Pat is the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, completed 16 of 25 passes for 182 yards and touchdown strikes to running back Jordan Meachum and Jim Herron. Meachum also contributed 108 rushing yards and a game-opening, four-yard touchdown run.
Jared Walls added a 17-yard scoring run and, leading 27-7 in the fourth quarter, backup QB Chris Ferguson connected with Charles Headen for a 12-yard touchdown.
In other games:
* Archbishop Ryan's Samir Bullock set a school record for rushing yardage. He finished with 345 yards – 97 more than the previous mark by Mike Erbrick in 1990 – as the Raiders defeated Cardinal O'Hara, 37-20.
* Lansdale Catholic upended Conwell-Egan, 28-7, as Mike Iacono and Ryan Quigley combined for 123 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Mike Isabella added 60 more yards on 11 carries.
* Defending AAA champion Archbishop Wood had no problem stopping Bensalem, 38-7. Jarrett McClenton (two touchdowns), Kendall Singleton, Chris Gary, and Joe Dutkiewicz all scored, and quarterback Tom Garlick offered an efficient 5 of 7 passing for 160 yards. Four of those completions were hauled in by Singleton for 140 yards.
* Archbishop Carroll edged neighborhood rival Radnor, 19-14, as Austin Tilghman amassed 130 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. Joey Rodden caught two passes for 38 yards.
* In another neighborhood battle, Bonner-Prendergast dropped a heartbreaking, 28-27 overtime decision to Upper Darby. Joe DePhillipo rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns in defeat.
* Defending AA champ West Catholic defeated Haverford School, 26-14, behind Greg White's 101 yards on 27 carries and quarterback Antoine McCollum's two touchdown runs and one TD pass. McCollum was 13 for 22 for 167 yards before giving way to teammate Pat Amara, who proceeded to add a touchdown pass of his own. Ahkil Crumpton caught five passes for 125 yards.
* Despite Marquis Seamon's 141 yards and touchdown run on 17 carries, and Yeedee Thaenrat's two interceptions, Father Judge lost to Episcopal Academy, 30-22.
* Neumann-Goretti beat Furness, 35-14, in Wildwood, N.J., as Sihmare Morgan garnered 130 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries.
* St. Joseph's Prep traveled all the way to Dallas, Texas, and the Hawks made the most of their long jaunt.
A back-and-forth affair eventually succumbed to a dominant second half by the Prep, which flew home with a 48-27 triumph. A balanced offense featured quarterback Chris Martin completing 13 of 16 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns.
A standout effort by John Reid included two touchdown catches, a touchdown rush, and a touchdown interception return. Four different Hawks gained between 46 and 62 yards on the ground and three different players scored. On defense, four different players seized interceptions, one by Vince Moffett that was returned for a touchdown.
A lot of smiling Hawks returned to North Philly after a job well done.

Did I really? Did I have to write this?
What would have happened if I didn't?
Let's consider the possibilities:
1. I would have written something else.
2. I would have done something else, not written anything at all.
Why do I say I had/have to write this? What do you mean when you use the words "have to"? And why does it bother me so much when I hear people use this phrase?
In question about me: Likely in this case, I have a message that I think is important to share. I want people to know something. I have a burning desire to contribute and my 'have to' energy is just hyperbole. The world will just not survive without me sharing my opinion. ugh. Obviously not true.
When do you say you 'have to' do something? I hear it quite often, when someone is choosing to do something other than something I am suggesting. Either a class, or dinner out, or something. The response I get is, "I have to go to my friends, or another class, or clean my room, go to sleep early", an on and on. I also hear it in couples coaching sessions, when one person is talking to or about the other. I had to......often is shared as the truth.
Why does it bother me so much? Because I know it is an outright lie.
Do you actually 'have to' do those things?
Of course not.
It is something you prefer to do.
I have two thoughts about why/how you might be saying it. One is more of an etymological discussion. We make lists. These items are actually on your list of things to do. I have this to do tonight, I have that to do tonight. Like wash my hair, or do the dishes, or balance my checkbook. I have these things to get done in the office today. And somehow it got morphed into this idea that we have no choice.
And the second thought I have is the more likely. Saying, "I have/had to" relieves you from the concern you might have of hurting someone's feelings. The language itself suggests you are not responsible for what you are doing. "You just have to" after all.
If we could really get over the idea that we are the cause of someone else's feelings, I think it would be easier to speak our truth. "I'd rather do this other thing than what you are offering me." "I'd like to talk to this other person who is calling me now". vs. "I have to take this other call." What does that even mean?
It seems like the current catch phrase these days is, "I want to be authentic". Let's start with this simple truth. You don't have to do anything. You are choosing what you want to do in every moment. Yes there are impacts and consequences. Are you willing to accept responsibility for the impact of what you choose and allow others to feel however they might about your choice? Or are you going to continue to pretend that you can't do a thing about it.
You had to. You are off the hook for your choice.
And here is the bad news, no one is buying it.
Somewhere inside, we know this isn't true. And we might feel bad about your choice. It is just that usually the rest of us are equally afraid to speak up about that too. We just say, 'okay' and make an internal mental note of another way 'you did me wrong'.
Next time you say (or hear someone else say) "I have to"…
Consider these things:
1. What needs get met by doing this thing?
2. Why are you choosing to do it?
3. Are you feeling happy about doing it? Conflicted?
4. What is the impact (and to whom)?
5. What conversations—likely with the person you are saying it to, would you consider having?
Or simply do this one thing for two weeks to one month, and see if it makes a difference in your life.
Replace the words "have to" with "get to" or "choose to".
Do you feel more powerful, more honest, more free or more authentic? After, of course, feeling awkward for a bit. Changing habits, especially ones this important, can wreak havoc with our nervous systems!!

2009 Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac
Red | Ready, but will improve | Chateau Latour | Code: 952326 | 2009 | France > Bordeaux > Pauillac | Cab.Sauvignon Blend | Medium-Full Bodied, Dry | 14.0 % alcohol
Tasting 2009 Les Forts de Latour was a truly exciting moment. The wine was so fantastic that we honestly wondered how on earth the Grand Vin could beat it. We were soon put right on that front - however that should not detract from the fact that Les Forts is a brilliant wine in 2009. It has a very, very complex nose with ultra-concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry fruit mingling with darker, more brooding earthy notes. Glorious fruit follows on the palate and the massive level of high, ripe tannins just seem to melt on the tongue. Not quite as ethereal as the Grand Vin, but this really isn't far off; a fabulous second wine.

The Wine Advocate
Wine Spectator
The Wine Advocate - The deep garnet colored 2009 Les Forts de Latour springs forth with minted chocolate, blackberry pie, sweaty leather and cast iron pan notes with hints of bay leaves and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied and laden with muscular black fruit preserves and savory layers, it has a firm, grainy frame and lovely freshness, finishing with a minty kick.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14/03/2019
Jancis - Toasty and rich nose. Very plush and velvety – much more so than usual. Rich and velvety – such an amazing texture yet with Les Fort's solidity. Very firm backbone. Explosive. But it will need quite a time to come round. Very fine and deep. Hint of oyster shells. Lifted. Wonderful texture. Very tight and tense. Dry finish.
Jancis Robinson MW - jancisrobinson.com - April 2010
Wine Spectator - Violet and mineral, with hints of blackberry and blueberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with superreserved and refined tannins, yet dense and very impressive. Long and racy. Lasts for minutes. Second wine of Latour.
James Suckling - Wine Spectator - March 2010
Parker - Possibly the best second wine ever made at Latour (and I love how the 1982 is drinking at age 30), the 2009 Les Forts de Latour is composed of two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot blended with a tiny dollop of Petit Verdot, and finished at 13.5% alcohol. Juicy notes of creme de cassis, licorice, camphor, smoke and crushed rocks are followed by a rich, unctuously textured, thick, juicy, exceptionally pure, long wine. This beauty will be at its finest in several years and should keep for three decades.
Proprietor Francois Pinault and his director, Frederic Engerer, have pulled out all the stops to produce one of the most monumental Latour's ever made.
95 Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Feb 2012
Perhaps the finest example ever made (including the extraordinary 1982) of Les Forts de Latour, the 2009 (61.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32.3% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot) is nearly as potent as the Pauillac at 13.5% alcohol. An opaque purple color is followed by notes of black fruits, crushed rocks, spring flowers, and hints of blackberries and smoke. Prodigiously rich and thick with an amazingly long finish of 50 seconds, this astonishing second wine will undoubtedly put on weight before bottling, and should last for 25-30 years.
93-95 Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - April 2010
Decanter - Black red, great fragrance and precision on the nose, great depth of fruit and superb vineyard expression, ripeness, energy and grip over perfect tannins, very good indeed.
Steven Spurrier - Decanter - April 2010

The Producer
The history of Ch. Latour dates back at least to the 14th century, even though the vineyards for which it is now world-renowned were not fully established until the 17th century.
The estate is located at the southern edge of Pauillac, bordering the St. Julien vineyards of Ch. Léoville Las Cases, and covers 78 hectares. After a period when it was under English ownership, in the form of the Pearson Group, owners of the Financial Times, and Harvey's of Bristol, the property passed to Allied Lyons in 1989 and was then bought in 1993 by the French billionaire industrialist François Pinault, whose empire was to grow to include Yves St. Laurent, Gucci and Christie's Auction House.
Pinault has delegated day-to-day control of the estate and its wines to his dynamic Président, Frédéric Engerer, under whose stewardship a major programme of investment has taken place which has seen Latour rise to an undisputed pre-eminent position in the Bordeaux wine hierarchy.
Engerer produces 3 wines: the Grand Vin, which always comes from the vines immediately surrounding the château, known as L'Enclos; Les Forts de Latour, the second wine, created in 1966, and now regarded as a great wine in its own right, certainly worthy of Classified Growth status; and finally a third wine, simply called Pauillac de Latour, usually the product of young vines. The second wine, Les Forts de Latour, always comes from a distinct location, rather than simply being the vats rejected as not quite worthy of inclusion in Latour itself, so it has its own distinct identity.
In terms of volumes, on average there are about 16-20,000 cases of Latour made each year, 10-12,000 cases of Les Forts de Latour, and a variable quantity of the generic Pauillac. As one would expect in Pauillac the Cabernet Sauvignon dominates, accounting for 80% of the vineyard, with Merlot (18%) and Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot comprising the remaining 2%.
Vinification is rigorously controlled, with severe selection of only the healthiest fruit, total de-stemming, and separate tanks for each parcel of vines. A three-week long maceration is followed by malolactic fermentation in vats before the wine chosen to become Ch. Latour is run off into barrels, 100% new, for ageing. The wine destined to become Les Forts de Latour is aged in 50% new oak and 50% one-year-old barrels.
In style the wine is powerful, structured and compelling, and has been for many the most consistent performer amongst the First Growth Wines over the past century, acquiring an enviable reputation for producing very good wine in the more challenging vintages. It has great potential to age, with the best vintages lasting a century or more.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% (Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
The Region
Pauillac is the aristocrat of the Médoc boasting boasting 75 percent of the region's First Growths and with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of Pauillac's production.
For a small town, surrounded by so many familiar and regal names, Pauillac imparts a slightly seedy impression. There are no grand hotels or restaurants – with the honourable exception of the establishments owned by Jean-Michel Cazes – rather a small port and yacht harbour, and a dominant petrochemical plant.
Yet outside the town, , there is arguably the greatest concentration of fabulous vineyards throughout all Bordeaux, including three of the five First Growths. Bordering St Estèphe to the north and St Julien to the south, Pauillac has fine, deep gravel soils with important iron and marl deposits, and a subtle, softly-rolling landscape, cut by a series of small streams running into the Gironde. The vineyards are located on two gravel-rich plateaux, one to the northwest of the town of Pauillac and the other to the south, with the vines reaching a greater depth than anywhere else in the Médoc.
Pauillac's first growths each have their own unique characteristics; Lafite Rothschild, tucked in the northern part of Pauillac on the St Estèphe border, produces Pauillac's most aromatically complex and subtly-flavoured wine. Mouton Rothschild's vineyards lie on a well-drained gravel ridge and - with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon - can produce (in its best years) Pauillac's most decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
Latour, arguably Bordeaux's most consistent First Growth, is located in southern Pauillac next to St Julien. Its soil is gravel-rich with superb drainage, and Latour's vines penetrate as far as five metres into the soil. It produces perhaps the most long-lived wines of the Médoc.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Nov 28:
The Odisha Assembly witnessed a fresh uproar this afternoon after Speaker Niranjan Pujari ruled against a debate on the chit fund scam in the House.
The House was thrown into turmoil as soon as the Speaker gave his ruling, based on the advocate general's opinion, that there can be no debate in the House as the chit fund case is sub judice.
Additionally, the Speaker also ruled that there can be no reference or mention of the chit fund scam in the discussion on supplementary demands of various departments.
Opposition members rose in unison protesting the Speaker's ruling. As the din continued, the Speaker adjourned the House till tomorrow.
Annoucing the decision on the issue, the Speaker said he agreed with the AG's opinion that the matter cannot be discussed in the Assembly since a number of chit fund related cases were sub judice.
Leader of Opposition Narasingha Mishra rejected the Speaker's ruling saying; "It is wrong, unfortunate and violative of the Constitution." He said the advocate general clearly lacked 'elementary knowledge' of law and must resign immediately.
On the other hand , BJD spokesperson Pratap Jena justified the Speaker's ruling saying there were enough precedences where discussions on matters sub judice have been disallowed both in state Assemblies and the Parliament.
