Making A Rush For SugenBy
Sugen (SUGN) is attracting fresh attention: With its stock at 11, down from 21 last October, this biotech company may be ready for new deals with strategic partners that may be eager to increase their stake in the company.
Sugen is striving to produce antiangiogenesis agents, which cut off the flow of blood to a tumor. Research has focused on two fronts: It's seeking the oncogene behind certain cancers and developing compounds to fight it, and it's also trying to produce antiangiogenesis agents. In mid-July, it initiated phase-II trials with its lead product, SU101, for ovarian cancer, complementing trials of the same product for brain and prostate cancer. "The trials have shown some positive surprises," says Peter Hirsch, Sugen Executive Vice-President for drug R&D. By yearend, he says, Sugen will launch trials for a yet-unnamed compound that blocks the formation of blood vessels and simultaneously directly attacks cancerous tumors.
James McCamat, editor of Medical Technology Stock Letter, notes that SU101 is a small molecule that blocks the pathway regulated by one of the main oncogenes in brain, prostate, and ovarian tumors. To help develop anticancer compounds, Sugen has signed a pact with Britain's giant drugmaker Zeneca Group, which has acquired a 20% stake in Sugen, and also with Allergan, ASTA Medical, and Japan's Taiho Pharmaceutical. Except for Taiho, these companies have taken equity stakes in Sugen, and "they are all potential acquirers of Sugen," says Michael Kicera, president of MRK Capital Management, which has accumulated Sugen shares.
He expects Zeneca will buy more Sugen shares this year. It had acquired its stake at higher prices, and Kicera believes Zeneca will take advantage of the stock's decline and add to its position. He expects Taiho to buy shares as well. "The stock will jump on any good news about the trials," says Kicera.

Response to
Herr Gill passed away
Just read this post, very saddened to hear this news. I had touched base with him a few years ago and he remembered me. We had a nice correspondance. I went to Germany with him in 1985 and will forever cherish that trip and the years I had him as a teacher. I found his obituary online but would like to know happened and where he was laid to rest so I might pay my respects.

The Week That Was: Fall Sports, NFL and more…
Published 8:00 pm, Wednesday, August 25, 2004
Its time
For the official start of another sports season with the debut of our 2004 Fall Sports Preview section, which will hit newsstands everywhere today.
Doing this section is a labor of love and a tremendous project for Mike Bogan and myself.
The amount of hours of planning, writing, picture taking and paginating seem endless, but when we see the finished product finally hit the press, we always get the same feeling.
Its a feeling of accomplishment and excitement.
Now with the section finally done, its time to do the best part of our jobs, which is of course covering the games.
I hope you enjoy of Fall Sports Preview, and even if you dont have a son or daughter playing a sport this year, get out there and support your community.
A reminder
Next week, The Week That Was will begin its twice a week format on Monday with a completely local version.
In the local column, Ill cover the games from the past week and what to expect for the next along with a moment, play, team, and/or performance of the week.
The state and national version of The Week That Was will appear on Thursday, as usual.
The final countdown
Two weeks from today, football junkies like myself will get their fix when the NFL season finally gets underway.
You may remember that the start of the season is being delayed because the NFL wants to have the Super Bowl run during television sweeps (like it needs better ratings).
With that aside, it should be another great season for football with parody running ramped throughout the league. As for the Lions, expect them to finish somewhere around 6-8 wins.
Although theyre much improved from a season ago, a tough schedule will probably keep them from improving too much on their record. Make no mistake, they will be a better team - it may not reflect on their record.
Another sure sign the football season is coming, is my fantasy football league, The Huron County Football Association, is having its fourth annual draft. Once again, I will look to defend my league championship against the likes of Dave Bossick, Justin Shepherd and others from the Thumb sports world.
I stand corrected
Last week, I had all but written Tiger Woods out of the No. 1 spot on the world golf rankings.
However, Tiger showed he is still the man to beat with a top five finish at the NEC Invitational.
Now, Tiger has to build on this positive finish with an impressive showing at the Ryder Cup next month. If he can go out there and lead the U.S. to a much-needed victory, it would be once again safe to consider him the best golfer in the world.
The major league home run leader is
Not Barry Bonds, not Sammy Sosa, not A-Rod, not even Manny Ramirez, the player who is leading the bigs in homers is none other than the Dodgers Adrian Beltre.
Thats right, the slugger from L.A. who has failed to live up to years of hype has finally emerged as the player he was expected to be.
Beltre slugged his 40th blast with a grand slam against Montreal on Tuesday. His 40 homers are a large part of the reason the Dodgers have emerged as the team to beat in the National League West.
Its refreshing to see a new name among the leaders in baseball.
Beltre is just one of many fresh faces who are among the league leaders in various categories.
Some of the others include, Tampa Bays Carl Crawford, who has 50 stolen bases to league all of MLB; another is Atlantas J.D. Drew, who is in the top 10 of various categories and one of the main reasons the Braves are charging to a 13th division title in a row.
On the pitching side, theres Minnesotas Johan Santana, who leads the American League in strikeouts while Pittsburgh newcomer Oliver Perez is in the top five in Ks in the National League.
These are just some of the new names in baseball that will some become household names, like the established superstars.
Jar of the Week
With a couple of days until the start of the college football season, the No. 1 team in the country and the only defending national champion in my eyes - USC doesnt know whether it will have its top receiver from a season ago in Mike Williams.
The situation stems from the ruling about Maurice Clarett that he was eligible to play in the NFL despite not being out of high school for three years.
When that ruling came down, Williams followed suit and declared himself eligible for the NFL.
However, the ruling was later overturned and both players found themselves in limbo.
Williams decided he wanted to return to USC, so he cut ties with his agent and gave back any money he received.
That should have been all he had to do, but the NCAA in its infinite wisdom has been dragging its feet on this. The NCAA has yet to rule on whether Williams can play or not and doesnt seem to be in any hurry as the season draws closer.
Common sense would say Williams did nothing wrong. At the time he declared, he was able to under a court order. That order then got revoked, and Williams is the one who is left hanging.
Granted he may have jumped the gun on the Clarett ruling because he knew it would be appealed.
But since then, he has done everything he has been asked to do to get reinstated and the NCAA refuses to act. The NCAA needs to wake up and let this kid back in.

Your Web content is in a constant battle against a number of variables competing for your readers' attention: A link to another website, the back button, their task at hand, the size of their monitor, the number of hours in the day. For those reasons and many others, it's crucial to give your readers easy access to the information they want, without making them think, and without getting in their way with marketese and fluff.
Here are some of the most useful guidelines I've come to appreciate in my quest to continually improve my content writing.
- Create personas
- Write your headline first
- Keep your headings and lists parallel
- Write how you talk
- Write drunk, edit sober
- Use the active voice
- Write in inverted pyramid style
- Think of writing as revising drafts
- Let go of the words
- Stop when you are going good
1. Create personas
We all know how important it is to focus on our audiences when writing for the Web, but without a method, that advice can be somewhat abstract. Personas are fictitious users you create to ensure that you keep your different audiences' perspectives in mind as you write content. Here are the basic steps involved:
- List your major audiences: Think of which groups of people (not departments or institutions) that might be using your site.
- Gather information on your audiences: Don't assume you know what your different audiences are like; instead, compile information from various points of interaction with them to better understand who they are, and what their needs and questions might be. Potential sources of information include contact form emails, interviews, your past consultations, your customer service department, and even questionnaires.
List major characteristics for each audience: Each of your site's user groups may have identifiable characteristics. For example, a poison control website will surely attract a large number of anxious visitors that need information very quickly, whereas an airline site will have a wider range of visitors with varying levels of travel experience. Plan for your visitors' terminology, demographics, cultural backgrounds, potential emotions, and experience with your website's subject matter.
- Use your information to create personas: Once you've compiled information on your different audiences, you'll want to bring all that data to life with a few personas that represent the typical visitors to your website.Each persona should be given a name, picture (stock photos are good), and characteristics.
- Use your information to write scenarios for your site: Once you've identified some goals that each of your personas are likely to have, come up with some tasks they'll want to accomplish on your site. This is a great way to organize your content according your visitors' needs.
Refer to your personas by name when strategizing content instead of calling them "users". Creating personas will greatly improve the focus of your Web content writing as well as the user-experience of your website. Dive deeper into the nuts and bolts of creating user personas:

- Personas – the definitive guide – WebCredible.co.uk.
2. Write your headline first
Writing your headline, aka primary heading, before diving into the content forces you to stay focused on the purpose of your article. Your headline makes a promise to your readers, and writing with that in mind is a good way to keep your content structured and to the point.
Brian Clark's Copyblogger.com is the place to start for tips on writing compelling headlines:
- 10 Sure-Fire Headline Formulas That Work – Copyblogger.com
- 9 Proven Headline Formulas That Sell Like Crazy – Copyblogger.com
3. Keep your headings and lists parallel
People are very pattern oriented. Headings and lists with consistent grammatical structure help your readers remember and compare successive portions of content.
Compare these 2 problem solving checklists, one written with an inconsistent style, and the other using parallel grammatical structure:
|Inconsistent grammatical structure
|Parallel grammatical structure
|1. The problem Must be defined
|1. Define the problem
|2. Analyzing the problem
|2. Analyze the problem
|3. What are the possible solutions?
|3. Generate possible Solutions
|4. Solutions analysis
|4. Analyze the Solutions
|5. Planning the next course of action
|5. Plan the next course of action
Table 1 shows how a list or group of subheadings with parallel grammatical structure clarifies their meanings and relationships between them.
|Complex words
|Simple words
|style, way
4. Write how you talk
When you're writing about complex concepts it's easy to get carried away with complex words as well.
If you have performance anxieties associated with writing, resist overcompensating with big, important-sounding words. Write for your readers, not your ego.
Trying to sound eloquent can have the reverse effect. It's better to write clearly and sound authentic than it is to risk coming across as being pretentious.
5. Write drunk, edit sober
Before you pick up that bottle of Jack…
You don't need to be quite as devoted to this piece of advice as the man who originally offered it. This nugget of wisdom from the late Ernest Hemingway simply reminds us to write without inhibition—especially your first draft.
It's better to write with a bit too much passion, editing some of it out later, than it is to deny your readers of your personality, or voice.
Enthusiasm makes for compelling reading; dry, self-conscious writing doesn't.
6. Use the active voice
Create a clear and engaging tone by using the active voice with direct sentences such as "Content drives traffic", instead of wordier sentences like "Traffic is driven by content".
In the active voice, the object receives the action of the verb:
|Active voice
In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb:
|Passive voice
|is driven
|by content
In tables 3 & 4, notice how with the active voice, the action is in a verb, whereas with the passive voice it's in an adjective. Action verbs and the active voice add intent to sentences, giving your words clear meaning.
This isn't to say that you shouldn't ever use the passive voice; in fact, in scientific writing, the passive voice is usually preferred, as the object (result) of the action is more important than the subject (scientist). Politicians also often use the passive voice to put emphasis on events rather than on those responsible.
Unless you're writing a paper on your recent findings in the lab, or if you're trying to use weasel words to hide blame, keep your tone assertive with the active voice.
7. Write in inverted pyramid style
Inverted pyramid structure is a fancy way of saying 'write the important stuff first'.
Don't make your readers scroll through a full page of content to get your key points and conclusion. Start with the who, what, where, when, why and how, and then get to the details.
8. Think of writing as revising drafts
Do you ever suffer from writer's block? Unless you're one of the fortunate minority, the answer is probably a resounding well duh!
When you're having difficulty getting the ball rolling with your Web content, remember that you'll likely be editing much of it once you've stepped away from it for a few hours and sometimes days. Returning to what you've written after a break gives you a fresh and objective perspective of your work, and this fact alone should help you relax a bit and get into your writing without worrying about it being perfect on the first pass.
9. Let go of the words
Janice (Ginny) Redish named her book Letting Go of the Words after one of my favorite pieces of advice on writing for the Web. Whatever you've written, you can probably edit out at least half of the words without losing important meaning.
Busy Web users should be able to grab the information they need quickly and efficiently without having to endure any kind of fluff, to slow them down. The more you focus on the goals and needs of your readers, the less content you'll find you need on each page of your site to satisfy them. Efficient and focused content allows people to and grab the information they need and go on to whatever they need to do next.
If you are worried about the search visibility implications halving your content, don't be; if the fluff you are chopping out has anywhere near the amount of keywords that your focused content does, you're probably spamming.
10. Stop when you are going good
This final piece of advice is another rule that Hemingway applied to his writing process. It might seem counterintuitive, but give it a try, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.
The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don't think about it or worry about it until you start to write the next day. That way your subconscious will work on it all the time. But if you think about it consciously or worry about it you will kill it and your brain will be tired before you start.
Ernest Hemingway

Raku Kiln
The MSCR Pottery Program received a grant from Friends of MSCR Grant to purchase and install a Raku Kiln. Raku is a Japanese firing technique that became popular in the 1950's. Americans have kept the general firing process, but formed their own unique style of vibrant colored Raku. Raku firing offers an immediate end result, taking only one hour to complete. The technique involves removing pottery from a hot kiln and allowing it to cool in the open air or in a container filled with combustible material.
Raku Fire Workshops
Raku firing offers an immediate end result, taking only one hour to complete. The technique involves removing pottery from a hot kiln and allowing it to cool in the open air or in a container filled with combustible material. Each participant needs to bring 4-5 bisqued items or half of one shelf (half of a 21 inch diameter) and no taller than 12 inches. A sizing chart is available on site. Glaze included. All registrants must wear closed toe shoes, long denim pants and long sleeve shirt. Long hair must be pulled back into a braided pony or a bun. If you have questions, please call 204-3005.
Wood Fire Workshops
Participants get 1 shelf of space, approximately 12' x 24'. On the day before, glaze the pots & load kiln. On the day of, fire the kiln and re-stock wood. Work ready for pick up three days after the firing. Participation is required during firing. Call 204-3005 for questions on shelf space and non-MSCR glazes.
For upcoming workshops, please check www.mscr.org or call 608-204-3021.

We look back to 2002 and our first drive
Back in 2002, the year the Euro entered circulation in Europe, we encountered the H2. It's daddy was of course the H1. And the H1's daddy was the Humvee military vehicle, and that's the daddy of them all in every sense. When your daily drive is a civilian vehicle based on a no-compromise vehicle built for war, then you're going to be having to accept some compromises yourself, and for that we can blame a Hollywood actor turned governor.
When you look at a Humvee or the H2, it's fitting that the name associated with them is that of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He it was who convinced AM General to make a civilian version of their Humvee, a vehicle originally designed to cross deserts at some pace, while removing any enemy with extreme prejudice.
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle – the Humvee – was transformed into the Hummer H1. And then AM General signed a deal with General Motors and the H2 was born, with proud daddy looking on.
"I was involved with the development of the H2 every step of the way," says Arnie. "I made sure GM made it as ballsy and rugged as the original, but with just a little bit more luxury.
"You bet GM has delivered. Just look at those deltoids. Look at the quads. This vehicle will take you anywhere you want to go."
A lot of the vehicle was similar to the Chevrolet Tahoe 4×4 although the body was described at the time as "part armoured truck, part brick outhouse". Once you'd stepped up by using the girder-like step-in bars, you entered the cabin. What did we think of that at the time?
"Once inside, you're surrounded by all the light and airiness of the London Dungeon. The roofline feels claustrophobically low and the windows seem little more than enlarged slits. Amazingly, the full-length glass moonroof is on the options list, despite being the only thing that prevents those inside from turning into moles."
It wasn't that spacious either, despite those vast external dimensions. But at least the driver sat high, which was handy when you tried to actually drive the thing, as we recounted: "Twist the key and six litres of Detroit's finest grumbles into life. The big V8 packs a hefty 360lb ft and a useful 316bhp. As you'd expect, it slurps unleaded faster than Chelsea Clinton knocks back rum and Cokes.
"Easing out into Chicago morning rush-hour traffic is like easing the QE2 into Southampton Water during Cowes Week. Yikes, this thing feels vast.
"Even with 360lb ft of torque, the Hummer's sheer bulk dulls performance. Pedal to the metal and 0-60mph takes roughly 10 seconds. And as you'd expect of something with the aerodynamics of a breezeblock, the H2 calls it quits at 92mph. That's when the restrictor kicks in to save the tyres from meltdown.
"But mid-range acceleration is decent, and the standard four-speed automatic gearbox kicks down smoothly and with bags of enthusiasm. It's best not to go in search of the redline, however; over 4000rpm, the V8 starts to sound boomy and breathless.
"Cruising at a steady 80mph, we thought the giant off-road gumballs at each of the H2's corners would have it whining like Madonna at opening night. Not so, thanks to the triple door seals, acres of sound insulation and a 20 per cent thicker-than-normal windscreen."
Handling and ride were actually surprisingly good, and of course it was comfy thanks to the long-range suspension, a set up that showed its worth when we took it to the Hummer Academy. This is where they the original Humvee was tested back in the 1980s, so it was a challenging landscape of bomb holes, wall-of-death rock faces and huge rocks. How did it cope with the real thing?
"The H2 is remarkably well equipped to tackle this mud 'n' bullets track. Its electronically controlled, full-time four-wheel drive system is essentially all-new and custom-designed, featuring no fewer than five settings. In its most extreme, it'll clamber up 400mm-high steps, or rocks, wade through a 500mm-deep stream and pick its way up a near-vertical rock face.
"The H2 boasts impressive 40-degree approach and 39-degree departure angles, around 10 inches of ground clearance and an array of skidplates to protect its underbody. The suspension also offers remarkable articulation and is backed up by BF Goodrich All-Terrain rubber with amazing traction."
But of course we'd expect nothing else since the H2 had Arnie's own seal of approval. But apart from Arnie, who would buy such a beast? After due consideration we reckoned "Every gold chain-wearing rap star in the US; every professional athlete desperate to spend his mega-bucks bonus; anyone who wears a chest wig."
How times haven't changed.

The perfect age is whenever you find your perfect someone. Just remember, your first kiss will not be your best kiss. Look forward to your first amazing kiss, not your first kiss . I was 11.
5 or 6 so was she , i used to buy those heart shaped sweet candies and share them with her , brings back memories
I was eleven or twelve. It was awesome. I still remember how it made me feel.
I was sixteen.
Lol I need this answer too
I don't think there is necessarily a "perfect age" for a first kiss. It varies from person to person. (I personally was 18.) I think the advantages to having a first kiss at a young age is that then you're more experienced, but having your first kiss later means you're more emotionally mature and it's less likely to be awkward.

Eight die from flu in one month as outbreak spreads
Three elderly people have died and five children are in intensive care after a major spread of flu in the past week.
The country is now in the grip of a major flu outbreak, which is posing a particular risk to the over 65s.
Eight flu deaths have so far been confirmed since the middle of January and the spread of the virus is continuing to increase.
Swine flu is one of the dominant strains circulating since the beginning of winter and has been been responsible for three of the deaths.
The national threshold for flu spread in Ireland is 21 cases per 100,000 but it is now at double that level, new figures reveal.
The seasonal flu jab protects against all the strains, including the swine flu, which pose a danger this winter and at-risk groups are still advised to get the vaccine.
The flu has so far claimed the life of one toddler, an older patient and six pensioners after nursing homes were hit by a number of outbreaks last week.
Complications from the virus led to 34 people being hospitalised with flu last week across the country, and 31 have had to be transferred to intensive care this winter, 18 of whom had swine flu, according to the disease watchdog, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre. Five children under the age of five required intensive-care treatment.
Swine flu first emerged in 2009 and caused worldwide panic because of the lack of a vaccine. However, disease experts pointed out yesterday it is now just like any other flu virus and there has been a vaccine available for some years. Many people are now resistant to it.
Cork University Hospital has already confirmed a number of cases of swine flu in patients in recent days and is imposing strict visitor restrictions, with just one named visitor allowed per patient a day. No children are allowed.
Other hospitals imposing similar restrictions are Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, Kerry General and Limerick maternity hospital.
The Cork hospital is confining the patients with flu to one ward in a bid to halt its spread.
Before a vaccine to protect against swine flu was manufactured there were a small number of cases that resulted in serious illness and death, but they were mostly in people with pre-existing health conditions, such as cancer.
People usually become infected by picking up the virus on their hands from contaminated objects and then placing their hands near their mouth or nose. It is also possible to breathe in the virus if it is suspended in airborne droplets.
Pregnant women are at greater risk from swine flu because their immune system is suppressed during pregnancy. It means that pregnant women are more likely to catch flu and, if they do, they are at greater risk of developing complications.
However, during pregnancy, the immune system still functions and the risk of complications is very small.
The symptoms of flu usually develop over a matter of a few hours and include a high temperature, sore muscles, dry cough, headache and sore throat.
Anyone who gets flu should stay at home, rest, drink plenty of fluids and use over-the-counter remedies like paracetamol to ease symptoms.
Anyone in one of the high-risk categories should contact their GP if they develop flu symptoms.
Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough and sneeze, disposing of the tissue as soon as possible and cleaning your hands as soon as you can are important measures in helping prevent the spread of germs and reducing the risk of transmission.

The free internet classified site Craigslist.org, the go-to destination for anyone looking for a used car, a job, free furniture with distressing stains, or some sweet, sweet 'lovin in the "personals" section, has turned into a never-ending source of entertainment for car enthusiasts. Usually that takes the form of questionably customized cars or ridiculous descriptions, but occasionally you get somebody thinking outside the box, like one Knoxville poster.
Seems that he's a traveling salesman, has a Corvette (vintage not specified), and would like some companionship on jaunts outside the K-ville area. "If you are willing and we're able to work something out then I am offering rides at no charge and will even pay your traveling expenses along the way," he says, adding, "Females only" at the end for the creepy cherry on top.
He (and we are assuming it's a "he," though there's no way to be sure) also states that due to the large volume of replies he gets, he might not answer right away, or at all. When taken as a whole, we're really hoping this post is a gag rather than a real offer, because if it's not, it seems like an invitation to be raped, murdered, and turned into a skin suit, maybe not in that order.
So whaddya say, ladies in the reading audience – do you have the rare combination of love for Corvettes, need for transportation, and total disregard for personal safety necessary to take advantage of this offer? If you do, then get your affairs in order, find somebody to take care of your cat while you're gone, and let us know how it works out…

LOUDONVILLE – Siena head coach Jimmy Patsos said his team needs to care more every game, starting with this afternoon's contest against Canisius.
"We have had certain guys be very unemotional in 2014,'' said Patsos, declining to name names. "I have been preaching the MAAC matters most, not only to you, but to them. You have to be emotional. The MAAC is a grinding, emotional league."
Patsos said it hasn't been a team-wide problem every game, but rather a matter of a different player or two acting disinterested on a given night.
"All I've asked them to do is be emotionally invested in every game and give us a chance to win,'' Patsos said. "And we've done really well. But in key moments, in key games, our whole team has not been emotionally invested. And that's my fault."
Patsos said he was surprised that it was an issue even in Friday's 65-64 loss at Marist, a rivalry game that had meaning in the MAAC standings.
"When are the players going to say, this means a lot to all of us the rest of the year?" Patsos said. "If you could put my head in a guillotine, (that) all our players have to be emotionally invested at Marist, I thought we'd want to kill people. Two guys we watched on tape, very laissez-faire. So I'm doing a poor job getting them to understand how important this is."
Freshman forward Lavon Long, who played well against Marist, said players sometimes let their personal lives affect their performance.
"Some people let their bad days just carry over into their playing, which can't happen because we need five people on the court at all times,'' Long said.

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde (Two-Disc Special Edition)
#27 (1998) and #42 (2007) on the AFI List of Top 100 Movies
Bonnie and Clyde is a 1967 American crime film directed by Arthur Penn and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the title characters Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. The film features Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, and Estelle Parsons, with Denver Pyle, Dub Taylor, Gene Wilder, Evans Evans, and Mabel Cavitt. The screenplay was written by David Newman and Robert Benton. Robert Towne and Beatty provided uncredited contributions to the script; Beatty also produced the film. The soundtrack was composed by Charles Strouse.
Bonnie and Clyde is considered a landmark film, and is regarded as one of the first films of the New Hollywood era, since it broke many cinematic taboos and was popular with the younger generation. Its success motivated other filmmakers to be more forward about presenting sex and violence in their films. The film's ending also became iconic as "one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history".
The film received Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress (Estelle Parsons) and Best Cinematography (Burnett Guffey). It was among the first 100 films selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
* Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow
* Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker
* Michael J. Pollard as C.W. Moss
* Gene Hackman as Buck Barrow
* Estelle Parsons as Blanche Barrow
* Denver Pyle as Frank Hamer
* Dub Taylor as Ivan Moss
* Gene Wilder as Eugene Grizzard
* Evans Evans as Velma Davis
* Mabel Cavitt as Mrs. Parker
Actor Gene Wilder made his film debut as Eugene Grizzard, one of Bonnie and Clyde's hostages. His girlfriend Velma Davis was played by Evans Evans, who was the wife of film director John Frankenheimer. Three years earlier, Frankenheimer had replaced Bonnie and Clyde's director Arthur Penn as director on The Train at the insistence of the film's star, Burt Lancaster.
The family gathering scene was filmed in Red Oak, Texas. Several local residents were watching the film being shot, when the filmmakers noticed Mabel Cavitt, a local school teacher, among the people gathered, who was then chosen to play Bonnie Parker's mother.
The instrumental banjo piece "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Flatt and Scruggs was introduced to a worldwide audience as a result of its frequent use in the movie. Its use is anachronistic, however: the bluegrass-style of music dates from the mid-1940s rather than the 1930s. Long out of print in vinyl and cassette formats, the film soundtrack album was finally released on CD in 2009.
The film considerably simplifies the lives of Bonnie and Clyde, which included other gang members, repeated jailings, other murders and a horrific auto accident that left Parker burned and a near invalid. One of the film's major characters, "C.W. Moss", is a composite of two members of the Barrow Gang: William Daniel "W.D." Jones and Henry Methvin.
The Gene Wilder-Evans Evans sequence is based on the kidnappings of the undertaker H.D. Darby and his acquaintance Sophia Stone, near Ruston, Louisiana on April 27, 1933. In the film, Velma and Eugene are romantically involved; Stone and Darby were not.
The film strays farthest from fact in its portrayal of the Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (played by Denver Pyle) as a vengeful bungler who had been captured, humiliated, and released by Bonnie and Clyde. Hamer was already a legendary Texas Ranger when he was coaxed out of semi-retirement to hunt down the duo; he had never seen them before he and his posse ambushed and killed them near Gibsland, Louisiana on May 23, 1934. In 1968, Hamer's widow and son sued the movie producers for defamation of character over his portrayal. They were awarded an out-of-court settlement in 1971.
The film portrays an unarmed and unsuspecting Clyde walking away from the car to investigate the broken down truck when he was ambushed. It suggests that Bonnie, still in their car, may also have been unarmed. Both remained in the vehicle and had weapons at the ready in the front seat; the back seat contained a dozen guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Neither outlaw got out of the car alive.

Has BioWare Permanently Lost Fans Due To ME3 Fiasco?
Not being one of the die-hard franchise followers, I'm actually asking straight-up.
If you were an active part of the community that reacted to the Mass Effect 3 ending ordeal earlier this year, do you think hardcore fans of the series have permanently left? In other words, was the event scarring enough to piss people off for good? Is it a long-term rift?
As a follow-up question, did the Extended Cut DLC appease fans (for the most part), or did it do little to mend the injury? I've heard conflicting reports; some have said they understand BioWare's limitations in producing that extra content, and are therefore satisfied with what they got. Others, who wanted more drastic changes, were none too thrilled. Personally, after that mess, I don't have a whole lot of respect for that fan base but then again, I admit to not being part of it. I also know that in the interest of headlines, the negative backlash may have gotten blown out of proportion.
But did it really...? Or has BioWare forever alienated a great many former fans? When they release the next game in the Mass Effect universe, will sales actually reflect that loss? Or will the loss be reflected in whatever project they do next, such as Dragon Age III? In my opinion, I find gamers to be extremely fickle, despite what passions they may have on any given day. My prediction is that none of this has an adverse effect on future BioWare sales...but I'm sure some out there disagree.

The fact you never left one area, the reused maps, and lack of customization really harmed the experience for me.
Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 12:04:30 AM
Not playing DAO of course you wouldn't know all you are missing in DA2.
Combat was fun in DA2 but nothing close to DAO. More like they completely changed the style. DAO was way more tactical and less chaotic. I agree that DA2 was fun but being a fan of DAO I also felt really let down by what they gave us compared to the first iteration.
Also, World, I really liked the fact that the main character was silent. That way I could imagine my own voice talking. I also liked that there was so much more dialogue options and I hate that now they simplified it with *positive* *negative* *funny* *love* *hate* ... as if we are too dumb to figure out what we are going to say will or will not hurt the NPC we are talking too XD
Like I remember when talking to Morrigan in DAO lol I was like... mmmm is she going to agree with that... And I really had to study her behavior to finally *size* her and know how to answer to her speech :D was so much fun.
Didn't you enjoy that kind of stuff? :D lol
The first one being such a *Hit* I wonder why they dumbed it down so much for the second entry :(

Like I would rather have them go *mass effect style* in mass effect and have the Dragon Age universe stay a bit more classic. Just like in the good old Ice Wind dale/Baldurs gate time lol. I bet it would still be a hit. DAO was successfull so why change the formula so much T-T
It like Devs are trying to unify their games. Just like D3 is a D2/WoW merge lol.

I too did enjoy DA2, FM. Very much so. But DA2 were "just a good game", if you know what I mean. DA:O were more than that. Like how you could start up as three different races, and thus start in three different areas of the world map and experience three different beginnings, each their own origins(!), that concept was such an amazing strike of genius. It almost felt like three games in one.
Soon the stories merged of course, and the main story remained regardless of your origin (obviously), but man what an awesome game DA:O were.
DA:O had something refreshingly new and different over it while DA2 were, as I said, "just" an entertaining game.

Those who wanted a rewrite of the ending are just pathetic, but the indoctrination theory would have been cool. I still like Bioware and I will buy upcoming releases from Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
Sunday, July 15, 2012 @ 10:13:10 PM
That said, I still like Bioware but I hope that their next game would have a much-better ending than ME3 did.

I never played online and was satisfied for the most part. I actually caught up with some users here who did play online just to get my galactic readiness up but was so busy with the campaign I didn't even bother.
Sunday, July 15, 2012 @ 11:58:30 PM
Although I'm fine with the original endings, and I've yet to play the extended cut, the main thing I was frustrated with was the reason behind what the reapers were doing. I mean it was kind of clever don't get me wrong but at the same time I remember thinking under the circumstances, "really"?!
I also loved in ME2 the attention they gave to the ending and explaining and setting up for the next entry, while in ME3 it just kind of hit a wall. Almost as of it was all for nothing. I mean the ending fit the story but there was little reward for the player. So I can see why there's frustration whether it was to extreme or not.
Anyways its sad for Bioware that such an amazing series ended this way, I mean the trilogy as a whole, but I have faith in Bioware and there productions. Bottom line is they make good games and nothing should hinder their success.
Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 12:28:59 AM
I say they just aren't open for new ideas and are stubborn. No offence to anyone, I believe I'm aloud to express my opinion.
Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 8:53:28 AM
So YashZz you are totally right on this one. I bet you will like the ending too and feel that it is fine.

I saw a highly detailed bust of Mordin on facebook the other day. Awhile ago I would have been so excited and wanted to have it but I just didn't care. That just says it all in how much Bioware have lost my attention and respect.
Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 3:14:41 AM
And in regards to the rest of the market: I don't think they've *permanently* lost any fans. Some has perhaps become a bit more sceptical, but all it takes is one good release and they are back on board.
But their next title will be a particularly important one. It will be incredibly exciting to see how that turns out.

do chickens lay eggs?
f*cken oath bioware has lost fans over the ME3 fiasco!
i really cant understand how people can say the reaction was overblown!
the WHOLE point of the mass effect series was to have a big effect on what happens to the universe.
not only in the last game, but you invest hundreds of hours in all of the games to shape the galaxy.
THAT was the promise!
did they deliver?
so how is it overblown?
this is exactly why from now on ANY game that has the BS you can change the story BS its automatically going in my do not buy bin!
im sick to death of every single game playing that card, and NONE of them actually really doing it!
deus ex human revolution was suppose to have drastically different endings depending on what you do.
it doesent!
heavy rain was suppose to have different missions and different experiences depending on what you do.
but it doesent!
all you got was a extra cut scene or something like that, nothing really drastic changed till the end.
even spec ops the line does not have the effect and impact it promised.
im so sick of developers using this BS just to try suck people in, than never delivering on it!
sigh, gone are the days where false advertisement was illegal!
i guess everything does have its price............
or the better saying theres nothing a fat bag with a dollar sign cant solve!

Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 10:19:05 AM
i ended up completely wiping out several civilizations and i still got the same ending as my friend who had a much higher galactic readiness rating then me and had everyone helping him.
how the hell does that work?
plus they said there would be many endings with drastic differences and effects.
theres not, theres 3 different endings and there not that different from each other.
and what about the crew?
what about your romance?
i ended up romancing miranda and she called me as soon as the last mission started, after that and the end events happen you dont get to see what happens to her.
thats exactly the problem with the game it evolves the WHOLE GALAXY!
but with the ending you get to see maybe 1% of the effects you have had.
even some of the events that you did in the first 2 games.
what difference does it make if you destroy the reaper tech in ME2 or keep it for the illusive man?
what difference does it make if you agree with him and give in, or fight back?
ME3 is exactly like every other game out there!
it asks you to make a choice than gives you down a different road but ends up in the same place.
1 + 1 - 1 = 1.
1 + 2 - 2 = 1.
2 totally different ways of getting the result, yet the result is the same.
what is the point of being able to choose how to do something if it does not change what happens?

But that's just it the color represents choice and that choice depicts the future of the galaxy. I see where you're coming from but when your given 3 choices that are extremely different, whether we see the outcome or not, the choice was still made.
I do agree though, I would have liked to see more of what happened in regards tothe choice, and how it affected the galaxy and the inhabitants. Sadly that's the issue here.

The original vision of a personal journey shaping it all, right to the end of the trilogy and numerous decisions playing a part on the mark on the universe from every instalment is no where to be seen due to some of the main creative minds that left.

But there was a choice to be made and it drastically changed the galaxy depending on one of three choices you made.

christ, how am i suppose to use my imagination to figure out what happened to the crew, or miranda?
a fluffy pink dragon flew in and took her to cotton candy land?
well the game gave me nothing else to base it on!
christ dude, seriously what is the point of even having a ending if everything is left to imagination?
theres a big difference between leaving things up to interpretation and what bioware have done with ME3.
like alan wake, you see his wife come out of the lake but you never see him.
thats it the story is finished, whether he ever comes out or not you can decide yourself.
thats leaving it up to imagination.
the WHOLE point of the mass effect series is to play through the games and have a drastic effect on what happens, how it happens, and how everything ends.
not choose whether i should have chocolate topping on my vanila ice cream, or if i should have strawberry instead!
thats what every game this gen has been, they have all promised drastically different endings, and drastically different missions depending on what you do.
but they dont, they all change ever so slightly.
and im sick of it!
if bioware did not market the game like they did, if they released ME3 as a new IP, just treated this as your typical aliens taking over the world game you really think this would of got the backlash it did?
hell no!
people are pissed because the whole point of the series is you having a drastic effect on the fate of the universe, and you really dont!
not to mention all the loose ties.
i mean you get to see the normandy crash, you get to see the crew walk out.
well i did.
but what about the people who were on the planet with you?
ME is about the GALAXY!
not about ME!
thats why so many people were pissed about the ending, simply because the game forces you to spend the entirety of the game gaining help from all the species, than does not even have the decency to show you what happened to them!

No way does this lose Bioware fans. They make good games and gamers know this. The ME3 ending was their interpretation. You have to respect that.

If anything, their extended cut DLC has raised my level of appreciation for them, and how hard they work to please their fans.
I liked the DLC. It filled a lot of plotholes. It explained so much more that we needed to know to get full closure.
I will get Dragon Age 3 the moment it is released.

But made more wary.
I do appreciate the effort of the Extended Cut, though it really should be named the "Rewritten Cut." Some of the most staggering plot holes were not just explained, they were retconned out of existence. It's nice that these points were changed, but it also highlights just how slapdash the writing job on the original version was. To me, the endings went from an "F" to a "C" in execution.
Points to Bioware for their class in dealing with the backlash, because some of the fan reactions were needlessly hateful. That being said, though, they did call down the fate on themselves with script leaks, broken promises, terrible original endings, and forced multiplayer.
Mass Effect 3 is a superb game, and I'll play it through again. I'll probably get their DLC. It doesn't mean I'll buy Bioware products in the future without hesitation, though, as I would with a studio like Naughty Dog.

this is the 2ed game from them that i felt let down by
thankfully i only rented DA2 as i did not like what they changed
but I don't even care about DA3
As for ME this is the game that got me to get a 360 i loved it up to ME3 ending
the EC fixed a lot of the plot holes but it comes down to this you lied you told us you can say you had ending A,B, or C but that is what we got did not help that i just fished a game with the SAME endings
As for the post EC ending
you get a Blue ending that is now a good ending(this is the best for a player)
a Red ending that if you did online can get you a "happy" ending but is shaky at best
and then there is the green mess that craps on ME ideas and lore
i may get there games BUT not till after its been out and i can see if its worth it and i mite just get it used
Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 11:19:47 AM
The EC did very little to address many of the problems with the ending most people were complaining about. To be fair though, they did state from the beginning, it would not change anything, it would simply extend the ending. The problems were still there.
If you look at the response the EC received, while it was fairly positive, it was far smaller of a response than what you received with the original ending controversy. Many of the people that had a problem with the ending, didnt even bother getting the EC, since it wouldnt change anything. If the people who criticized the game no longer cared about the EC, then criticism for the EC would be incredibly small. I would think Bioware should worry about the EC having as much of a small response as it had on online forums, when people complain or praise, it means they care about the product. When they dont even bother to do either right after something as significant as an EC, it means they could care less about the title. Which means they are customers the franchise lost.
The problem Bioware is going to face is that some of their fans will not buy their next game upon release. Also considering how easy it is to pirate games currently, anyone that has significant doubts about the game will either wait a while before getting it, or will simply get a pirated copy.

President Obama continues his outreach effort to Republicans, planning to attend a second dinner with GOP senators
Senate Republicans and President Obama plan a second dinner next month to talk about such legislative items as the budget, immigration and gun control, officials said.
An aide to Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., said Obama called Isakson this month and asked him to line up another dozen or so GOP senators who were not able to attend a similar dinner on March 6.
The purpose of the get-together now scheduled for April 10 is "to build on the first dinner," said Joan Kirchner, Isakson's deputy chief of staff.
Two White House officials confirmed that Obama plans to attend.
The dinners are part of an Obama outreach effort that has included visits to Capitol Hill to meet with Republican and Democratic caucuses in both the House and Senate.
Among the president's topics of discussion: a debt reduction plan that includes both budget cuts and higher taxes on the wealthy through the elimination of loopholes. Most Republicans object to any new taxes, saying the emphasis should be on cuts.
Obama's legislative plan includes an immigration bill providing a pathway to citizenship for some illegal immigrants, and new rules designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
Some Republicans object to a pathway to citizenship, calling it amnesty for lawbreakers, and say his gun control proposals violate Second Amendment rights.

The thing is, loose plowed ground needs to be settled with a good "Drag", to sift it down.. It will save you fuel and the Disc tractor can pull much more.. Without Duals, wheel slippage and compaction are both problems.. Our 1st pass was with out "Soil Surgeon" on a JD "B"..it is a Drag, with 4 rows of "U-shaped" knives about 4" long..leveled the ground very well and gave us a place to toss rocks, when we found them.. Followed that with an AC WD-45 with Duals, on an IH #37 10' Disc, with JD Harrow.. Ron..

Keywords: Luxurious Cottage
It is easy to get to and from an airport. Minutes from Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Course. There are great restaurants, spas, wineries and other attractions that provide activities for families and couples.
Minutes from downtown, waterfront property with spectacular sunrise and sunsets.
This was a perfect venue for our team! An amazing view and a super clean home. We completely enjoyed our time spent there. John, the owner was very welcoming and helpful to show us around the home upon arrival. We would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone! Will definitely be going back!!
We had a wedding to go to in Niagara on the Lake so found this very nicely appointed home with 5 Bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It was great that each couple or single had their own bed and bath. That made getting ready for the wedding very comfortable. the house itself from the front is deceiving as it's much bigger inside and from the back. Rooms are nicely decorated and it was a very comfortable home to stay in. Being that the owner has many properties he owns both commercially and residentially I was surprised that the home was very dated as far as upkeep. For the price of the home for the week, I would have expected much higher standards in the home especially the kitchen area. Being that several of the guests are high end cooks the kitchen was less than impressive. For $3900 + Gst for 7 days, the cost did not match the deteriorating condition of the home. Also, being that it was April, neither the pool area nor the dock could be enjoyed due to inclement weather as well, so I believe that the price should have been lower for that time and season. However, the house was clean and spacious as other reviews have said. The owner was also quick to send someone when we were having some issues in the home like the unbelievably huge spiders. and the plumbing. Would we stay here again? Possibly, but the home itself would have to be renovated and brought up to date for the price. Also the profile of the home features 5 bedrooms with either King or Queen beds, however, the room that my wife and I stayed in had two twin beds that even if we had pulled them together, would have made the room very awkward to get around, so I believe that the profile is not a true statement for the home and should be advertised more appropriately.
We enjoyed another great vacation at Sunset Cove Lake House (Long Lake House) - Niagara on the Lake. It is a nice place for friends and family to stay together to enjoy both life at the lake house itself as well as all that the Niagara Region has to offer. The owner dropped over to personally welcome us and was always available to support us with any items we needed and suggestions for fun activities. The best part is relaxing on the large comfortable covered back porch - overlooking the water - watching the sunset. We had a wonderful vacation and are planning our next trip back too!
My friends and I stayed her for a bachelorette last weekend. The house was AMAZING! It was clean, spacious and comfortable. With 5 bathrooms, we were all able to get ready at once and not be on top of eachother. The house has everything you could ever want for. No need to bring anything. The newly renovated deck with gas firepit overlooking Lake Ontario was to die for. The owner was so helpful and even called to make sure we arrived okay and gave us his cell number in case we had any questions or problems. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone and look forward to renting it again in the future.
I loved the house and would have given it a higher rating had it not been for the owner of the home. Two of the three days of my stay he dropped the house. On the second day, he actually poured SHOCK and chlorine in the pool while my friend was in it. If you don't know, shock is extremely toxic and warns on the label against swimming in the pool for several hours after use. I found it to be inappropriate that the owner stopped by during our stay. It was kind of creepy and invasive. When you pay to rent a property, you should have an uninterrupted stay with maintenance being done beforehand. Again, lovely house- but creepy owner.
The men in our family spent the weekend at Sunset Cove Lake House and had a fantastic time. We apprciated the space, the large screen TV for enjoying sports together, and the proximity to so many great golf courses. We even had time for swim! The fact that 8 of us could all have our own bed and bathroom was a real plus. We all agreed to return next year.
Thanks John!

Table of Contents
Top Learning Centers(Recursos en Español)
TraditionWARNING: DISCLAIMER: The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Alcoholic liver disease, antibacterial, anticonvulsant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial (typanosomes), antioxidant, antiviral, arthritis, bile secretion, burns, cancer, cardiovascular disease, dental conditions (root canal), dental hygiene, eye infections (general), fatigue, fever, headaches, high blood pressure, immunostimulant, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), leukemia, leukopenia, liver disease (alcoholic), osteoporosis, respiratory disorders, sedative, skin infections, urinary tract infection, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, yeast infections.
Adults (18 years and older)
A wide range of doses has been studied for berberine, although no dose has been proven effective. Berberine is possibly safe when taken by mouth in doses up to 2 grams daily for eight weeks. For hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), 0.5 gram of berberine twice daily for three months has been used. For infectious diarrhea, berberine sulfate 400 milligrams as a single dose has been used. For thrombocytopenia, berberine bisulfate 5 milligrams, three times daily (20 minutes before meals) for 15 days has been used.
As an injection into the vein, berberine has been infused at a rate of 0.2 milligrams/kilogram per minute for 30 minutes. Injections should only be given under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist.
For trachoma, 0.2% berberine eye drops have been studied for eight weeks.
Children (younger than 18 years)
There is no proven effective dose for berberine in children. Nonetheless, berberine is possibly safe when used in otherwise healthy children, as young as two months, at recommended doses for treatment of diarrhea up to six days.
SafetyDISCLAIMER: Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Avoided in individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to berberine, to plants that contain berberine [Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal), Coptis chinensis (coptis or goldenthread), Berberis aquifolium (Oregon grape), Berberis vulgaris (barberry), and Berberis aristata (tree turmeric)], or to members of the Berberidaceae family. Allergic reactions have been reported, with symptoms of vomiting, itching, and a feeling of faintness.
Side Effects and Warnings
Berberine has been reported to cause nausea, vomiting, hypertension (high blood pressure), respiratory failure and paresthesias (abnormal sensations such as numbness or tingling); however, clinical evidence of such adverse effects is not prominent in the literature. Rare adverse effects including headache, skin irritation, facial flushing, headache, bradycardia (slowed heart rate) have also been reported with the use of berberine. Use cautiously when taking berberine for longer than eight weeks due to theoretical changes in bacterial gut flora.
Use cautiously in individuals with diabetes, as both human and animal studies indicate that berberine may decrease blood sugar levels. Also use cautiously in individuals with hypotension (low blood pressure), as berberine may have antihypertensive effects.
Patients with cardiovascular disease should also use caution as berberine has been associated with the development of ventricular arrhythmias in subjects with congestive heart failure.
Although not well studied in humans, berberine may also theoretically cause delays in small intestinal transit time or increase the risk of bleeding.
Berberine may cause abortion, eye or kidney irritation, nephritis (inflamed kidneys), dyspnea (difficulty breathing), flu-like symptoms, giddiness, lethargy, or liver toxicity.
Patients with leukopenia (abnormally low white blood cell count) should use cautiously due to the potential for development of leukopenia symptoms.
When injected under the skin, berberine may cause hyperpigmentation in the arm. Use berberine cautiously in individuals with high exposure to sunlight or artificial light due to potential for adverse phototoxic reactions.
Avoid in newborns due to potential for increase in free bilirubin, jaundice, and development of kernicterus (brain damage caused by severe newborn jaundice). Use berberine cautiously in children due to a lack of safety information.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Berberine is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to a lack of available scientific evidence. Although not well studied in humans, berberine has been suggested to have anti-fertility, abortifacient (abortion inducing), and uterine stimulant activity.
Berberine may cause kernicterus (brain damage) when used in newborn jaundiced babies, such as bilirubin encephalopathy (degenerative brain disease).

Peyton Manning Meets With Tennessee Titans Officials, AP Reports
Peyton Manning visited the Tennessee Titans' headquarters as he hunts for a new team after being cut by the Indianapolis Colts following 14 years and four Most Valuable Player awards, the Associated Press reported.
Manning met with coach Mike Munchak, General Manager Ruston Webster and Chief Operating Officer Mike Reinfeldt, AP said.
The 35-year-old quarterback earlier held talks with the Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins.
The Titans' team doctor was among those meeting with Manning, AP said. Manning missed the last National Football League season after having at least three operations on his neck.
The record four-time NFL MVP was cut after 14 years with the Colts, where he won a Super Bowl title. The decision came a day before Indianapolis would have had to pay him a $28 million bonus.
