Ja'Terian Douglas had an 81-yard touchdown run and finished with 128 yards on 13 carries to help Tulsa rout UTEP 33-11 on Thursday night for its sixth straight victory.
Alex Singleton added 96 yards and two touchdowns to tie the Tulsa career record for rushing TDs with 32, and Cody Green was 13 of 22 for 198 yards for the Golden Hurricane (6-1, 4-0 Conference USA).
Leslie Jordan led UTEP (1-6, 0-3) with 10 catches for 218 yards and a touchdown. Carson Meger was 16 of 23 for 257 yards with a touchdown and an interception in relief of the injured Nick Lamaison.
Up 6-3 at the half, Tulsa outscored UTEP 20-0 in the third quarter. Singleton scored on a 1-yard run, Douglas added his 81-yarder, and Shawn Jackson made it 26-3 with a 17-yard fumble return.
"We just encouraged them to execute a little better and finish drives," Tulsa coach Bill Blankenship said about the team's halftime adjustments. "We got in there twice and had to kick field goals offensively. We were playing well on defense. We were playing a little soft early on, and we just had to stay the course and play with a little more passion. We were playing and executing, but not playing with a passion, and that was really my encouragement at halftime."
UTEP ended a 10-quarter touchdown drought with Meger's 61-yard pass to Leslie with 11:06 left. Singleton countered with a 10-yard scoring run to tie the school rushing TD record set by Michael Gunter in 1980-83 and matched by Tarrion Adams in 2005-08.
"The thing about Alex is, he has now, to me, inserted himself in the three-man rotation as opposed to just being a guy that we needed at certain times," Blankenship said. "He really has become a force for us. It has given us a whole different dimension that's kind of like throwing a curveball or a change-up."
DeAundre Brown had 14 tackles for Tulsa and Hurricane defense forced three turnovers and had 10 tackles for loss and six sacks. Tulsa is 16-1 in its last 17 conference games.

As a longtime practitioner of tease and denial (both giving and receiving, on film and in my personal life) I've realized that being able to choose when you come helps you not just in terms of obeying a master or mistress, but in more traditional aspects of your sex life as well. The ability to do so takes the sort of practice that tease and denial or edging yourself can prepare you for.
"Edging" (not to be confused with edge play) is the practice of taking yourself to the brink of orgasm and then backing down just before you come. In doing so, you maintain a high level of sexual arousal for an extended period of time and when you do finally have an orgasm, it can be very intense.
Chances are, you guys already partake in "gentleman's time", so edging while you are doing it isn't too large of a leap. If you want to see results, you have to put the time in and keep a few things in mind:
If you intend to go the distance you'll need to reapply at some point and hunting for it will distract you in the moment. Choose a lubricant that doesn't break down too quickly or become sticky (I'm a fan of Pjur Aqua). Only use something that's actually intended for this sort of thing; using lotion (or soap in the shower) can actually cause skin issues that can end up being quite severe. Attempting to edge dry can cause chaffing; if you prefer a slightly more masochistic approach then perhaps that's not a big deal, but I recommend that you use lubrication.
Time It Right
Choose a time and place where you can focus with no interruptions or distractions. If you want to really learn how to make it last, you shouldn't worry yourself over having to abruptly wrap things up. Setting a time limit is fine though and tracking measurable results will be easier for some people.
Bring A Toy
Toys will make this even more challenging and enjoyable; a variable speed vibrator works very well for both men and women because it'll stimulate you in a very different way than when it happens manually. The VibeRite wand has lots of speed options and is pretty gender neutral, so even if the idea of buying a vibrator for yourself is intimidating for some of you guys, you can find something approachable that won't make you feel like you are sword fighting. You can also try toys like the Tantus vibrating cock ring or any number of anal toys (if it seems taboo to you it'll probably add to the thrill, or it least it does for me).
Play With The Senses
If you'd like to make the experience a little kinkier, you can include restraints, blindfolds or plugs into your edging sessions. For many people the sense of touch is heightened when you take away the sense of sound or sight, so adding sensory deprivation to your session may make even more enjoyable. Adult films can also make this more of a challenge; pop in your favorite scene and see what it's like to try and keep control while all your buttons are being pressed.
Pay Attention
Your goal in edging yourself is to get as close to orgasm as possible, but in the beginning that might be difficult to judge, so I recommend in the beginning that you take yourself about three quarters of the way to orgasm and come to a stop. Put your hands in the air and hold them there. Count to thirty before you touch yourself again, and push little closer the next time around. Do this over and over again, but take care not to ruin your own orgasm!
Slow It Down
From personal experience I can tell you guys that methods such as flicking or pinching the tip that will sober your cock up a bit. For others, ice is a good solution. Learning to tighten your PC muscles with Kegel exercises will also help you stop when things are happening too fast. Don't underestimate the ability of the mind to find a solution to cool you down too; find something that'll bring you back down to earth without completely ruining the mood.
Bring A Friend
If you want to try edging yourself during sex with a partner, stop when you are close to coming and focus completely on their pleasure. Using some cooling down time to focus on the person(s) you are in bed with can give you an opportunity to collect yourself. Sex isn't (necessarily) a marathon, but it should last for as long as you want it to without coming to an abrupt end. Edging is a great way to improve your ability to do that.
Having someone else edge you can be fun as well; Athena Fatale gave some great suggestions in her post about tease and denial that can be put to use in edging with a partner, so I suggest you give it a read. She also gave some great toy recommendations that you can use either alone or with a partner.
Whether it is for self-satisfaction or to be a better lover, edging is a good way to give greater purpose to masturbation. The result is worth the effort and you'll enjoy the process as well.

African Iron Production and Iron-Working Technologies: Methods
Louise Iles
Iron production was a particularly important precolonial African technology, with iron becoming a central component of socioeconomic life in many societies across the continent. Iron-bearing ores are much more abundant in the earth's crust than those of copper, and in Africa, iron was recovered from these ores using the bloomery process, until the importation of European iron in the later second millennium eventually undermined local production. Although smelting was most intensively focused in regions where all the necessary components of a smelt were plentiful—iron ore, ceramic, fuel, and water—frequent occurrences of small-scale, local iron production mean that iron slag and associated remains are common finds on archaeological sites across Africa.
The archaeological remains found on iron production and iron-working sites can provide detailed information about the past processes that were undertaken at these sites, as well as the people involved with the technologies both as practitioners and consumers. A variety of analytical approaches are commonly used by archaeometallurgists to learn more about past iron technologies, particularly those methods that explore the chemistry and mineralogy of archaeological samples. By interpreting the results of these analyses in conjunction with ethnographic, historical, and experimental data, it is possible to reconstruct the techniques and ingredients that past smelters and smiths employed in their crafts, and address important questions concerning the organization of production, the acquisition of raw materials, innovations and changes in technological approach, and the environmental and social changes that accompanied these technologies.
Anthropological and Ethnographic Methods and Sources
Constance Smith
For scholars of African history, anthropology offers a number of valuable and invigorating methodological avenues, from engaging directly in ethnographic fieldwork to analyzing anthropological data compiled by others. Given the asymmetries of written documents and the biases of archival material for Africa, anthropological methods and sources offer a different type of access to those who, for various reasons, tend not to appear in other forms of documentary record. The materials of past ethnographic research—texts and material objects, produced and collected by anthropologists and their assistants as well as by missionaries, government officials, travelers, and others—constitute one of the largest categories of written source material. However, the contexts in which such research was conducted can present certain challenges when using these materials as sources. For example, the complex entanglements between colonial governance and the making of anthropological knowledge make it imperative for historians to be aware of the discipline's intellectual history and how its ways of seeing and ordering have shaped portrayals of Africa's diverse cultures.
Methodologically, historians are also experimenting with field methods that draw heavily on ethnographic techniques. The emergence of historical ethnography has developed a rich, syncretic approach, in which communities' own relationships with, and understandings of, the past are brought to the fore. Although ethnography is known for its immersive and long-term fieldwork, elements of the technique can also be incorporated into other historical methods. This is in part a matter of approach, rather than of different source material. For example, engaging ethnographically with archives can offer different insights into issues of governance and the production of knowledge.
Archaeozoology: Methods
Veerle Linseele
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of African History. Please check back later for the full article.
Archaeozoology is the study of animal remains, mainly bones and other hard parts, from archaeological sites. It contributes to a more complete understanding of various aspects of human life in the past. Ideally, archaeozoologists as well as other specialists should be involved in the whole process of archaeological research projects, from their design to fieldwork and data collecting, until final reports and publication. For efficient communication and fruitful collaborations, (leading) archaeologists need to understand the basics of archaeozoological methodology and the range of questions the discipline can answer. Methods vary between archaeozoologists—not in the least concerning quantification—and it is important to be aware of these differences and their possible impact on results, when comparing data for different sites.
While the actual analyses of animal remains are done by the archaeozoologists themselves, preferably in circumstances where they have access to a comparative collection of recent animal skeletons, the excavation and collection of remains often falls under the responsibility of the archaeologists. In order to guarantee a minimal loss of information at this stage—on top of all the taphonomic processes of loss beyond our control—appropriate methods are particularly important. The use of sieves with mesh sizes of at least 2 mm is essential in order not to miss the smaller, but not less informative, animal remains. Where project leaders can furthermore play an important role is in providing good storage facilities for archaeozoological remains after excavation and after study. With the quick development of analytical methods, it can be extremely interesting to return to previously studied remains and to sample them.
Bodily Ways of Knowing: Anthropological and Historical Approaches to Affect and the Senses
Kathryn Linn Geurts
For centuries, European and Global North observers of non-Western societies have been fascinated by African bodily expressivity and power. Artistic and ritual displays of bodily ways of knowing have captivated explorers, traders, missionaries, anthropologists, historians, and tourists, and this engagement has spawned a robust industry of representational accounts of African affect and sensibilities. Both European colonialism and American imperialism created and produced voluminous documentation of "the black body" through study of folklore, proverbs, myth, sculpture, masks, adornment objects such as beads, tunics, hair combs, and so forth. In addition, film and still photography have been used to capture vivid portrayals of bodily powers revealed in dance and possession trance. A history of such documentation and collection reveals shifts over more than a century in the way body, affect, and sensing have been understood and studied. Anthropology and psychology took the lead in attending to affect and the senses, but by the late 20th century additional fields such as music, art history, archaeology, and history joined in the sensory turn.
Business Records as Sources for African History
Dmitri van den Bersselaar
Business records are documents routinely produced by employees and management of commercial businesses. They may be part of internal processes or produced to communicate with stakeholders or to meet legal requirements. They usually include a mix of qualitative (reports and correspondence) and quantitative (detailed accounting data) material. Depending on how complete the material is, documents may relate to: strategic management; accounting and financial data; operational matters; legal issues; trademarks; marketing; personnel files; and labor and welfare issues. Business records add a different dimension compared to information from government and colonial office sources by providing a private sector perspective on key episodes of colonial and postcolonial history, including strikes and protests, the relationship between the (colonial) state and business, and decolonization. Historians have used business records as sources for histories of business and trade in Africa, for studies on industrialization and development, and also to inform studies on colonialism and political history, as well as economic, social, and labor history. Business records may be kept in company archives, where they are not always easy to identify or access, kept in public repositories, or privately held. Many business archives have been weeded, whereby documentation relating to special activities, challenges, and crises has been retained, while routine documentation of interest to economic and social historians has been destroyed. Other collections appear to have disappeared altogether when companies went out of business or were taken over by others.
Ceramics, Foodways, and Consumption: Methods
Liza Gijanto
Analysis of ceramics in archaeological contexts has provided a range of information regarding African history. Archaeologists have approached ceramics as a craft as well as an indicator of identity and status. The Africanist focus on the technological development of ceramic manufacture and production has taken several forms. The most notable are (1) the origins of ceramic production, (2) the spread and independent invention of this technology and regional styles through typological analysis, and (3) technological change related to the identity of the producers and consumers including changing dietary practices over time. The various arguments put forth for the first production and use of ceramics in different regions of the continent are connected to the exploitation of available resources such as fish as well as the rise of agricultural production. Following the appearance and technical history of ceramics in various regions of the continent, a focus on foodways and regional cuisine has placed ceramics at the forefront of interpretation.
Christian History and Historiography
Joel Cabrita
Christian presence in Africa has a long and varied history. African congregations represented some of the world's earliest churches, with lively Coptic and Orthodox communities in both North Africa and present-day Ethiopia. But wide-scale Christian expansion truly began during the proselytization efforts of the 19th-century missionary movement. Success in gaining converts was initially limited, a fact not aided by the perceived ties of missionaries to Western colonial powers. But through the translation and intermediation of a dedicated strata of African evangelists, proselytizers, and preachers, Christianity rapidly became one of the continent's most popular faiths. The independent church movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries exemplified the determination of Christians across the continent to make the faith a local religion: throwing off white missionary control, thousands of Africans formed their own independent churches that experimented with new modes of Protestant Holiness theology. Transnational links have always been key to the development of Christianity in Africa, with connections to North American African American churches sustaining many of these independent churches. More recently, international networks have also influenced the large charismatic revivals that swept the continent from the 1970s onward. Inspired by itinerant evangelists from both North America and Europe, Africans have formed new churches that stress the "Prosperity Gospel," deliverance from witchcraft, and the equation of "modernity" with Christianity. Underlying many of these diverse developments has been an ongoing debate regarding the intrinsically African qualities of Christianity: scholars continue to wrestle with understanding the extent and nature of indigenous versus exogenous elements that go into making Christianity—along with Islam—one of the most widely practiced religions on the African continent.
Digital Sources for the History of the Horn of Africa
Massimo Zaccaria
The Horn of Africa has an exceptional cultural heritage, starting with its manuscript sources, which are among the most important on the continent. It is a heritage that is rich but scattered throughout the region and not always easily accessible, prompting researchers to rely on cutting-edge technology. Since the 1970s, photography and microfilm have been key for preserving this especially valuable heritage. In the Horn of Africa, the "digital turn" has been the latest development in the close relationship between technology and research. For Ethiopian manuscript studies, the advent of digitization has meant more than simply improving old techniques. A new generation of projects is experimenting with innovative methods of research made possible by digital technology. The purpose is no longer just to provide digital copies of manuscripts but to explore the possibilities that computerization offers to study documents and other historical sources.
Increasingly competitive prices and low operating costs have made the digital revolution attractive even for African institutions, which, in recent years, have sought answers to the pressing needs of preserving and enhancing their historical sources. These technological developments have significantly broadened the range of sources investigated. While important, manuscripts represent only a part of the documentary heritage of the Horn of Africa. Numerous archives and a long-overlooked print culture offer equally interesting access points for studying the region.
The experience gained, though temporally circumscribed, has highlighted a number of more or less predictable problems. The projects to date, although they have often yielded only partial results, have highlighted the wealth of sources still present in the Horn of Africa and the way in which digital technology is making a valuable contribution to their preservation. Access remains perhaps the most critical issue. In the Horn of Africa, as in other African regions, digitization does not necessarily lead to Internet access.
Documenting Precolonial Trade in Africa
Shadreck Chirikure
Promoted by necessity, scarcity, and/or abundance, trade is one of the most essential cultural behaviors that promoted contact and exchange of ideas, commodities, and services between individuals and communities and variously transformed African societies of different regions and time periods. Anthropological, historical (including historical linguistics), and archaeological evidence points to the existence, on the one hand, of intra-African trade and, on the other, of external trade between Africa and those outside the continent. Traditionally, however, trade and exchange involving perishable and organic commodities such as grain and cattle have until now been very difficult to identify due to a lack of well-resolved documentation techniques. By comparison, that some objects such as metal artifacts, glass beads, ceramics, and porcelain are pyrotechnological products, with a high survival rate that makes their trade and exchange easily visible archaeologically. Given the well-known regional differences across the continent, it is essential to combine multiple sources and techniques, in a multipronged way, to provide a dynamic picture of the mechanics of precolonial African trade and exchange of various time periods and geographies.
Ethnographic Analogy in Archaeology: Methodological Insights from Southern Africa
Mark McGranaghan
Analogical arguments are central to and pervasive within archaeological discourse. Within these arguments, ethnographic analogies are often seen as being particularly problematic exercises in essentialism, which unthinkingly cast reified ethnographic schema back in time and thus perpetuate ideas about primitive indigenes, awaiting colonial contact to emerge from ahistorical primordial obscurity. The shadow of 19th-century social evolutionism, in which forager communities (not participating in agriculture and leading nomadic lifestyles) were represented as particularly primitive, has cast a pall of suspicion over ethnographic analogical models—especially as forager communities continue to feature prominently in such models to this day.
Archaeologists use ethnographic analogies in a variety of ways; these analogies are heuristic constructs tailored to research questions and to the stubbornness of particular suites of archaeological data. Such uses include inducing imaginative and revelatory modes of thinking about past societies, outside of the archaeologist's usual experiences, as well as a suite of formal and relational analogies that seek to combine ethnographic data with data drawn from the physical sciences to help constrain archaeological interpretation.
Direct historical approaches utilize a collection of ethnographic and historical sources to construct analogies based on a relation of similarity between the communities of people involved; these frameworks, perhaps, carry the greatest danger of unwittingly casting modern populations as "contemporary primitives." By emphasizing that source-side ethnographic datasets are heuristic tools rather than reflections of some sociocultural reality, such fears may (at least in part) be ameliorated. Saliently, archaeological data must operate as epistemologically equivalent to ethnographic data in order to resist the tendency to cast back a rich, textured ethnographic case study wholesale into the murky waters of prehistory. Only when this status is afforded archaeological data can is it possible to reveal the ways in which past conditions diverged from ethnographic ones.

Capitalism Kills ... Poverty
New report from The Economist details progress
Those of us who have championed capitalism and free markets have had a tough go of it in an era of financial meltdowns, Occupy Wall Street and the snarky fella at the end of the bar who persistently bloviates that the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer, free trade is a bust and soon we'll resort to eating our young and elderly.
Giving lie to this last is a recent report from The Economist that the global poverty rate has shrunk 50 percent in the past two decades: "[T]he world has lately been making extraordinary progress in lifting people out of extreme poverty. Between 1990 and 2010, their number fell by half as a share of the total population in developing countries, from 43% to 21% — a reduction of almost 1 billion people."
Stay Engaged
And to what does the esteemed publication attribute this astonishing figure? Certainly a loosening of governmental interventions in the marketplace, but definitely not government programs to assist the poor. Was it Bono? Bill Gates? Tax credits for Hollywood? As it turns out, none of the above. Instead, it was good old capitalism: "[T]he biggest poverty-reduction measure of all is liberalising markets to let poor people get richer. That means freeing trade between countries (Africa is still cruelly punished by tariffs) and within them (China's real great leap forward occurred because it allowed private business to grow)."
So, as The Economist proclaims in a pithy subhead: "Take a Bow, Capitalism."
Indeed. While acknowledging that lifting the remainder of the world's poorest — including those in the United States — continues to be a daunting task, the magazine rebukes the empty words of politicians and bureaucrats in a blog post: "Presidents and prime ministers in the West have made grandiloquent speeches about making poverty history for fifty years. In 2000 the United Nations announced a series of eight Millennium Development Goals to reduce poverty, improve health and so on. The impact of such initiatives has been marginal at best."
And adds:
Almost all of the fall in the poverty rate should be attributed to economic growth. Fast-growing economies in the developing world have done most of the work. Between 1981 and 2001 China lifted 680m people out of poverty. Since 2000, the acceleration of growth in developing countries has cut the numbers in extreme poverty outside China by 280m. How that growth is distributed matters too. In a country where income inequality is high, each percentage point of GDP growth will do less work than the same growth would in a more equal place.
Having accomplished this amazing feat in a mere couple of decades is nothing short of astounding. But what of the remaining 1 billion children, women and men barely subsisting in their respective neck of the woods, leading lives of misery and destitution? For them, The Economist presents a cheerily optimistic scenario:
If developing countries maintain the impressive growth they have managed since 2000; if the poorest countries are not left behind by faster-growing middle-income ones; and if inequality does not widen so that the rich lap up all the cream of growth — then developing countries would cut extreme poverty from 16% of their populations now to 3% by 2030. That would reduce the absolute numbers by 1 billion. If growth is a little faster and income more equal, extreme poverty could fall to just 1.5% — as near to zero as is realistically possible. The number of the destitute would then be about 100m, most of them in intractable countries in Africa. Misery's billions would be consigned to the annals of history.
Even The Economist admits that's a whole lotta "ifs." But not unattainable if free-market advocates such as the Mackinac Center and its sister think tanks throughout the world continue their amazing work to educate legislators and the public at large that freedom and capitalism are a sum-total benefit for everyone — and not just the wealthy.
Free-market and small-government advocates are entitled to a little respite to bask in the wonderment of halving the world's poverty rate. As well are the entrepreneurs and businesses that put up the capital and supplied the jobs that made such significant gains in poverty reduction a reality.
But let's not take too much time patting ourselves on the back. There's much left to do to stifle the loudmouth pontificating at the end of the bar. Let's all roll up our sleeves and get back to work. There are still a billion people out there who need our help.

About the Reportable Food Registry
The Reportable Food Registry (RFR or the Registry) is an electronic portal for Industry to report when there is reasonable probability that an article of food will cause serious adverse health consequences. The Registry helps the FDA better protect public health by tracking patterns and targeting inspections. The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (Pub. L.110-085), section 1005 directs the FDA to establish a Reportable Food Registry for Industry.
The RFR applies to all FDA-regulated categories of food and feed, except dietary supplements and infant formula.
Who Should Use the Reportable Food Registry?
Registered Food Facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States under section 415(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 350d) are required to report when there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, an article of food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals.
Federal, state, and local government officials may voluntarily use the RFR portal to report information that may come to them about reportable foods.
Where Should Consumers, Food Retailers and Food Service Operators Report a Problem with Food?
In emergencies, consumers, food retailers and food service operators should continue to call FDA at 1-866-300-4374 or 301-796-8240. For less urgent problems, contact the FDA consumer complaint coordinator in your geographic area or see Your Guide To Reporting Problems to FDA.
What to Do if the Safety Reporting Portal is Not Operating
FDA intends to post an announcement on http://www.fda.gov as to how to submit a Reportable Food report in the event that the Safety Reporting Portal is not operating. If http://www.fda.gov is not operating, FDA recommends that you contact the FDA district office serving your area.

On a bit less unserious note:
His personality is quite dense and he's the act-before-think type of guy. He possibly even leaves the "think" part away in some circumstances. Add the possibility that since he is the only guy in the academy, he is already used to skimpy beauties and the majority of them which yearns after him. So it could be that he has a hard time differentiating flag and non-flag, and that he knows one girl more than another wouldn't play a big factor in this either.
About "Charles": he was just very happy that there's another guy. You know, I have a real life example that could standardize things. In 11th grade a transfer student befriended me. He was very direct with me (and some others), he even asked me to eat together with him, or take a shower with him after P.E. Any ulterior meaning? Nope, he just didn't want to be "alone". He does have a girlfriend, too, so yeah (bleh...).
About the fact that he walked in on Charlotte's assets: looks like a normal reaction to me. He just didn't see that coming. If it wasn't just for natural speechlessness in that situation, the fact that Charlotte was supposed to be "Charles" might've created the after effect that there was no need to scream in such a situation (or whatever usually happens). I assume what was more prioritized than to get embarassed was to think about just why she is a girl and not a guy, and why she needs to hide that fact. There was obviously good reason for it, or a problem that might've been very uncomfortable for her (on top of being seen naked that is). Well, those things were clearly wondered by Ichika when he sat on the bed silently. To our relief, the issue was solved between the two.
Ichika was the one who reminded Charlotte that her breasts were touching his arm. And he was the one who reminded her that her zipper exposed her breasts, too. He looked embarassed as well so those speak for his straightness. As for his reaction towards Charlotte's suspicion that he might want to touch them after all... well, I can only say that he is dense and he's either used to those situations (nah). Or he just simply never got that close in such a natural way although he >is< surrounded by girls' bodies. But the way the Harem triplettes cling to Ichika are different to Charlotte's and Ichika's interactions.
Actually, the one thing that I can't come up with an argument against is the fact that Ichika ran away with "Charles" holding hands. That is definitely not a common thing between boys. And does he really expect that "Charles" can't keep up with his pace that he has to take him by hand so he can come along? Ironically, you didn't mention that fact.

I've noticed an interesting thing - the ED contains an indication of how close each girl currently is to Ichika
Episode 1:
Only Houki is there yet, who is not running particularly close to Ichika.
Episode 2:
Cecil has joined, and has relegated Houki to the back seat.
Cecil isn't running too close to Ichika either, though.
Episode 3:
Just the same as episode 2.
Cecil is running first after Ichika, and Hoiki is running second.
Episode 4:
Rin joined in as the third girl.
Rin takes the spot right after Ichika, and other than Cecil and Hoki before, she's running very close to Ichika.
Behind Rin, Houki overtook Cecil who is now running last.
Episode 5:
No change to episode 4.
Rin is first, running close, followed by Houki as second and Cecil as third.
Episode 6:
Charlotte joined in.
She manages to get the first place right away, running close.
Houki and Cecil maintain their second and third place, respectively.
Rin seems to have totally fallen from grace, from first in the two episodes before to a meager last place, running as fourth.

In such a short time only, she already got him to feed her. If it goes on like this, we'll have a definite couple, even with ultra-dense Ichika.

That's fine, I'll take the spoils that he leaves behind.
What he should do is get to training to use that sword's Barrier Void aspect better. Turning it on and off within a second to conserve the energy as well as improving his overall agility & speed (dodging & manuvers) as well as his endurance (how long he can dodge/manuver quickly)(I'm sure the girls would love to help him work on that one ). For me, that just means some bonding time with my world-champion Chifuyu-nee. Despite her saying she won't favor Ichika, she kinda has to in order for him to learn how to use that sword of hers.

But I really do like Vanish's take on what lead Ichika to be completely dense to girls that might actually love him, and the majority of other girls who like him since he is the only guy in the academy. Of course we are introduced to all the girls in the academy liking Ichika and just falling head over heels for him, he simply can't tell if Rin/Cecilia/Houki/Charles actually love him, or just sharing in with the other girls in the academy by joining in with them.

From what I've noticed in real life...
Actually, Ichika might simply be oblivious to such things. He might suspect, but then dismiss those suspicions. As an example, there have been several girls who bit the bullet and confessed to me. In my previous interactions with them I hadn't seen anything. But then after the confessions, I looked back and with hindsight it's all clear. Problem was, I'd had hints but ignored them, thinking that nobody'd be interested in me.
Another, more crucial point: he's the only guy in the world who can operate an IS. He's the younger brother of the mighty Chifuyu. He has a lot to live up to. He can't be thinking of romantic entanglements, he's got to concentrate on what's more important: school and piloting.
Besides, let's face it, if he got serious with any of the haremettes, Chifuyu would find out and kick his ass for slacking off. Possibly with Cutlass.
...and also because Chifuyu-nee is the only real answer for a pairing with Ichika...

Ichika should go with Houki. Charlotte is wasted on him. She should be with me!

Is it just me or does Ichika have the most useless IS ever? He's got one short-ranged weapon in a sea of long-ranged fighters. The battles consist of him dodging bullets for 1/2 the time and chasing the opponent around for the other half.
Then, when he does finally get in to use his attack, he misses... constantly... using up his own shield power in the process, which, when he finally does get close enough to hit, causes him to power down and get destroyed.
I also don't get what the harem sees in him. He doesn't do ANYTHING. He loses--a lot-- and says a few nice words here and there. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that he's the only guy in an all girl's school, I doubt anyone would even give him a second glance. It's kind of like a woman going into a man's prison-- doesn't matter what she looks like or how she acts, she's still a woman.
There's a lot of good harem leads out there, and a lot of bad ones. Ichika is near the bottom of the list as one of the most useless I've seen, just above Haruto from KNIM.
And I will never understand what the Japanese audience sees in loser and/or butt monkey protagonists. I can understand that the author's want to make characters that appeal to the reader, but I highly doubt Japanese men are anywhere near as pathetic as some of these leads are. I'd prefer characters that are more well-rounded and average-- people who have strengths and weaknesses-- instead of guys who just suck at everything.

Sidoti Hosts Another Rousing Micro-Cap Conference
Jan 10, 2013, 11:23 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 7, 2013, Sidoti & Co. LLC hosted its fifth and largest micro-cap conference. More than 76 companies told their stories to about 400 investors, with attendees and presenters alike finding the event impressive. One attendee declared, "I have been to many of your conferences, and this one was, as usual, great!" A presenter stated, "The one-on-ones were superb. As is rarely the case at conferences, everyone showed up on time! Our presentation was also well-attended, interactive, and dynamic. We know all the behind-the-scenes glitches that can derail a conference, and we appreciate all the work the Sidoti conference team did to ensure that your events are seamless." So many one-on-one meetings with company managements were scheduled that many took place during the conference's lunch hour.
The January 7 event is only one part of a coordinated and diligent effort by Sidoti to create Wall Street's first complete research product for micro-cap names, or companies with market capitalizations below $250 million. The firm began its micro-cap coverage in January 2010, with five analysts assigned solely to that neglected segment. The team was the only one of its kind, but Sidoti & Co. LLC kept its faith that the micro-cap segment contained gems the investment community was ignoring or failing to grasp. Now 18 Sidoti analysts are devoted to micro-cap research, and the firm's coverage has expanded to more than 400 micro-cap names.
In his comments to investors at conference, the firm's founder and CEO, Peter Sidoti, pointed out that Sidoti micro-cap research is now available on direct distribution sites such as FactSet Research Systems, Thomson Reuters, and Bloomberg, among many others; the firm is establishing a separate sales team to exclusively address micro-cap names; and the goal for 2013 is to up the number of Sidoti non-deal road show days to at least 250 from 2012's already noteworthy 130. Mr. Sidoti also announced that based on the enthusiasm shown for the January 2013 Micro-Cap Conference, another such gathering is slated for June 7, 2013.
Sidoti & Co. looks forward to eventually becoming one of the leading advisors to micro-cap firms seeking to raise equity capital. In April 2012, Homeowners Choice Inc. (HCI) was able to raise nearly $22 million thanks to Sidoti's expertise. The firm handled the transaction the old fashioned way, sponsoring a full road show and dozens of one-on-one meetings with institutional investors. The ability to put management teams in front of clients is a hallmark of Sidoti.
Sidoti is growing in a deliberate, thoughtful way, seeking to serve clients as well and creatively as possible. As always, as a firm that continues to learn as it grows, Sidoti appreciates feedback.

By Heather Dinich | ESPN.com
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- No. 10 Florida State was just minutes removed from clinching a share of the Atlantic Division title with a 41-14 win over Maryland on Saturday when the Seminoles immediately turned their attention to rival Florida.
Florida State (10-1, 7-1 ACC) guaranteed itself a spot in the Dec. 1 Dr Pepper ACC Championship Game, but the Noles aren't done yet. "It's a great accomplishment, but I think right now we're still focused knowing that we have more games to win," said Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel. "I think we'll be able to celebrate everything at the end of the year. It's a great accomplishment, but we're looking to next week."
FSU enters its final regular-season game having won five straight since its stunning Oct. 6 loss at NC State. That loss knocked the Noles down but not out. Saturday's relatively easy win over the Terps assured FSU its second Atlantic Division title in three seasons under coach Jimbo Fisher and gave the program its first 10-win regular season since 2003.
Florida State's defense dominated an injury-laden Maryland offense, holding the Terps to just 170 total yards. The Seminoles also got their ground game going again. After being held to minus-15 yards rushing at Virginia Tech, the Noles racked up 237 yards against the Terps. "We're 10-1, and I'm very proud of our kids," Fisher said. "First goal was to win the division, now we have to play the Florida game, and then we'll get in the ACC championship game and see where that goes. Still got a lot of work to do."
Florida State will face Miami or Georgia Tech in the ACC title game. Receiver Kenny Shaw said his teammates aren't even thinking about the championship game right now. "We're very excited," he said of winning the division. "That's one of our goals, but then again, we've got this game coming up [next week] against our rival, Florida. We're going to focus on that first, and then we can go up to Charlotte. This has been one of our goals since camp time."

Herbed Ricotta and Asparagus Frittata
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Some mornings it's just a whole wheat bagel and peanut butter, but when I have time I make a "whatever's in the 'fridge" frittata. Today's frittata: leftover low-fat ricotta, herbs from the garden and fresh asparagus. Every other bite is creamy ricotta with just enough herbs to compliment the asparagus. —nannydeb
Serves: 2-4
tablespoon olive oil
clove garlic, minced
cup slivered onion
15 or so
skinny stalks of fresh asparagus
cup low fat ricotta
tablespoon fresh herbs (I had basil, oregano and thyme)
tablespoon low fat milk (optional)
teaspoon salt
black pepper
- Preheat broiler.
- In an 8 inch skillet (one with a handle that can go in the oven), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion and cook 2 minutes.
- Wash and cut the hard stem off of the asparagus and add them to the skillet. You can chop it into bite size pieces if you want. Cook about 6 minutes or until tender.
- While the asparagus is cooking, mix the ricotta with the herbs in a small bowl. Salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- In another small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Once the asparagus is tender, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Gently stir around to evenly distribute the onions and asparagus.
- Let the eggs start to set and add the ricotta in small dollups around the skillet.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for about 5 minutes or until the bottom is set.
- Place the skillet in the oven to broil the top of the frittata for about 3-4 minutes or until puffy and golden.
- Cut into wedges and serve with some toasted ciabatta bread.

Learn what you can do to get the right amount of sleep you need to recover and feel rested.
Sleep. Almost all runners could use more of it, but very few are able to get the optimal number of hours they need every night. Running magazines and websites routinely publish articles on the importance of sleep, so it's no surprise that runners understand the critical role sleep plays in the recovery process. Unfortunately, some runners simply can't find the time to slumber 7 to 8 hours per night and still fit in everything else they need to do in a day. For these athletes, getting a full night's sleep may end up low on the priority list even though they know it should rank high in order of importance.
About 40 million Americans — and by extension thousands of runners — suffer from chronic sleep issues. But what about the runners who understand the important role sleep plays in the recovery process, and diligently try to get in their 7 to 9 hours each night, but can't because of sleeping disorders? Take for example Bobby Curtis or Tera Moody, elite runners who suffer from insomnia despite taking extreme measures to reverse the situation and get the sleep they need. What can runners like Curtis and Moody do to improve their sleep quality? And is it possible that running might be the cause of sleep-related issues?
VIDEO: The Importance Of Sleep
In the following pages we'll examine four common, and often overlooked, sleep issues that affect runners and offer some helpful suggestions for those unfortunate athletes who suffer from sleeping trouble despite their sincere attempts to get the rest they know they need.

The First Friend You Make During Orientation
So your RA, who claims she "likes to party as much as you" and "isn't here to ruin your fun," has lined everyone up according to their birthdays because obviously that's how you get to know people. You strike up a conversation with the person who's also born in February. Enjoy that conversation with your new best friend, as they'll only be your best friend until Thursday when you meet someone who shares an affinity toward Bob Marley greatest hits albums*. You are not best friends with this person. You will not be best friends with the Bob Marley fan.
*Sidenote: Don't let anyone tell you Bob Marley's "Legend" is one of the greatest albums of all time. It is a collection. It's like saying the best variety of Chex is Chex Mix. Sorry if that analogy is too good.
The Guy Who Knows Where The Off-Campus Parties Are
During your junior year, a frat will throw a beach themed party in which everyone will be hammered and making out while wearing next to nothing, and the first thought that will enter your now-jaded mind will be "I bet it will be crowded and I'll sweat a lot." Then you will go to an off-campus party where you'll sit on a couch, eating frozen pizza and talking about how great it was when you went to beach-themed parties just two years earlier. In the corner, there will be two guys. One will say to the other "Sorry, I thought hanging out at an upperclassman, off-campus party would be cooler. Sorry we didn't go to Beachcombers Blast." Those two people will never hang out again.
The "Funniest Person You Ever Met"
You as a Freshman: "Oh my God he does Bill Cosby impressions!"
You as a Sophomore: "Oh my God he does Bill Cosby impressions."
Notice the difference? You will.
Your Roommate
I'm not saying you won't reconnect later in college, but there's a good chance that despite attending every party with this person during the first week, your friendship will not rise above any of the following issues (which are bound to come up):
- They have a different sleep schedule than you
- They're ALWAYS in the room
- They had sex while you were in the room and they thought you were sleeping
- You had revenge sex while you thought they were sleeping
- You walked in on them having sex with themselves
- They love Swingers just a bit too much
- They drank your beer and assured you they're "good for it"
- They shed on your stuff.
- They're too messy
- They're too clean
- They told the guy across the hall that YOU are the one who's too messy/clean
All That Saidâ¦
That first week will undoubtedly be the best week of your life. Enjoy.

Singleton: With hard work, anything is possible
HOUSTON -- No one was more giddy to see Jon Singleton in an Astros uniform that teammate George Springer -- and that was before the home run.
The two sluggers have become close friends playing alongside each other in the Minor League system the past few years, and for many Astros fans, they represent the future of a franchise on the climb. Springer has been so dazzling in his debut he was named American League Rookie of the Month on Tuesday.View Full Game Coverage
HOUSTON -- No one was more giddy to see Jon Singleton in an Astros uniform that teammate George Springer -- and that was before the home run.
The two sluggers have become close friends playing alongside each other in the Minor League system the past few years, and for many Astros fans, they represent the future of a franchise on the climb. Springer has been so dazzling in his debut he was named American League Rookie of the Month on Tuesday.View Full Game Coverage
While Singleton's debut started somewhat shaky, it certainly didn't end that way. Singleton's first career Major League hit was a solo shot to right field off Angels reliever Matt Shoemaker in the eighth inning of the Astros' 7-2 victory at Minute Maid Park.
"That's pretty impressive," manager Bo Porter said. "For your first Major League hit to be a home run, and it was a no doubt about it home run as well."
Singleton's day was not perfect, however. He committed two errors at first base and struck out twice. His first career RBI came off a bases loaded walk in a five-run third inning for Houston. He finished 1-for-3 with one hit, two RBIs, one run and one walk while batting sixth.
"I can't even go into words to describe how good it feels like," Singleton said.
Singleton gave the home run ball to his mother, who has a collection of other landmark baseballs and trophies from his career.
"He's put in the hard work, he's been very devoted and dedicated," Singleton's mother, Sherry, said. "He's been rewarded by the fruits of his labor, and we are grateful."
While Singleton sat at his locker at Minute Maid Park for the first time Tuesday and prepared himself for his first Major League game after signing a long-term contract a day earlier, Springer was asked what Astros fans can expect from his buddy.
"Get your popcorn ready," Springer said. "He can change the game at any time. He's going to learn and adjust and experience things and find out who he is as a hitter and he's going to adjust on the fly. I promise you, he's legit."
Singleton's arrival in Houston signaled another brick in the foundation for the rebuilding Astros, who are starting to tap more often into the highest ranked Minor League system in baseball.
The Astros announced on Monday they had signed Singleton, their No. 3 prospect, to a five-year contract with three club options that could keep him in an Astros uniform through 2021. The 22-year-old hit .267 with 37 runs, 10 doubles, 14 homers and 43 RBIs in 54 games. He had 42 walks and a .397 on-base percentage and showed great strike-zone discipline.
"What really led up to [the contract] is me getting out here and wanting to play baseball," Singleton said. "That's the biggest thing. I love the game, and any time you eliminate everything else and just go out and play ball and have fun, that's the biggest part of it."
The Astros had been using a platoon at first base for much of this season with right-hander Jesus Guzman and left-hander Marc Krauss, but not with good results. Singleton will become the starter at first base and should provide the power the Astros have been missing at the position.
"From an offensive standpoint, we have not clicked on all cylinders at this point in the season so far," Porter said. "Putting a guy like Jonathan Singleton in our lineup every day and what he is capable of doing, it's going to boost the production of our offense, but at the same time, the team is going to respond. We're not asking him to carry the team. He's going to be one of 25 guys and do his part."
Coming off a successful May in which the Astros posted their first winning record in a full month in nearly four years, the arrival of Singleton is another boost to the organization, general manager Jeff Luhnow said.
"It's a lot of fun to have this youth injected into the game right now, guys that are ready to contribute and help us win games and ultimately win a championship," Luhnow said.
Singleton learned of his callup while sitting on the couch in the clubhouse prior to Sunday's game in Oklahoma City. He hopped on a flight to Houston and took a physical before signing his contract, which is worth $10 million for five years at its base. He said he'll have his family in the stands tonight.
"It's been an overwhelming sensation since," Singleton said. "I honestly had no idea how long it would take for me to get here, but with hard work and dedication, anything is possible."
The contract represented the culmination of a roller coaster 18 months for Singleton, who was suspended for the first 50 games of last season following his second consecutive failed marijuana test. He wound up spending most of the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and hit .220 with six homers and 31 RBIs in 73 games, prompting him to go to Puerto Rico last winter to get in more work.
"He wanted to go to winter ball and continue to get better and get more experience and really make up for the time he missed," Luhnow said. "He went to Puerto Rico and had a terrific winter, and came into Spring Training ready to compete and we really felt like he needed another 100 to 150 at-bats in Triple-A to see more successful results before we felt he would be truly ready to be here every day.
"He did that. He went down there, and for the last two months, he's performed. We feel like he's doing everything he needs to do to prove to us at his very young age that he's ready to continue it at the big league level for the rest of his career."
Springer, whose locker is just two away from Singleton, says he plans to tell Singleton to slow the game down and not try to do too much in his first few games. He's speaking from experience. Springer struggled mightily when he was called up April 16 before leading all AL rookies in homers (10), RBIs (25), runs (22) and slugging percentage (.647) in May.
"He's a guy that can change the game with one swing any time, and I'm excited to have him in there today," Springer said.
For now, Singleton is simply soaking in life as a Major Leaguer.
"It's definitely been a work in progress every day, and it's been leading up to today," he said. "Today is one of the happiest days of my life."

That should be fine acoustically, so it would just be a question of whether you liked the look. An alternative would be to use a vertical bookshelf speaker voiced as closely as possible to the Studio 60s -- a Studio 20 would be ideal but a Prestige 15B probably would be a reasonable alternative. If you want to stick with phantom center, using a compressed setting ("Night Mode") for soundtracks might help with the level issues.

Forum topic: why is this link access denied?
The game is added to database, but is not published yet, that's why you can't access it (actually, it shouldn't be shown User Gamin Choice list at all).
The reason it's not published is the following: developers of the game currently have some legal issues with SEGA (which owns all the rights for Streets of Rage), and they've deleted all download links for game and warn/ban anyone, who tries to post alternate links. So, the legal status of the game is under question now, everything depends on what agreement will developers achieve with SEGA.
Of course, you can try to find the binaries any other way, but I bet this is illegal.
Here are the links for SoRR project:

Game: Balazar Brothers
This is a good game. The current version in the Ubuntu Repos (apt install) is 1.0rc1 The website for the game is seriously out of date (says version 0.3, circa 2006) I would like to know if this game will ever be completed. I played to levels: Fountain river and then Coqueliform. But at the end where it is supposed to go to Pompom Forest it just puts you back to the main menu and there is no continuing. I tried running the command "balazar_brothers --start-level pompon_forest" but that appears to be obsolete based on an old version and doesn't work - though it is still suggested by the command line --help. Does anyone know a way to get the Forest Level to run (or if it still exists) in the newest version? It's a great game once you get past the slightly unpolished game controls situation. Really fun puzzle. Is this game still being developed or has development moved (given than the official website is so far behind the working version in the repos) Thanks!

See what was happening in Redwood Falls 50, 25, and 10 years ago this week.
1962—50 years ago • Merle Shields celebrated 20 years as a Redwood County game warden, and was grateful for the peaceful time he had had in Redwood County. Shields lost a lung to mustard gas during World War I, and in 1937 was shot through the head by another game warden who mistook him for a bear. • Fanny the elk, who escaped from the Ramsey Park zoo six years earlier when her pen was opened by youngsters, took up residence on the Frank Baldwin farm southwest of Redwood Falls. "Sometimes she will stand off away from the cattle and you can tell by the way she looks at them that she is lonely," said Baldwin. • To celebrate its 14th anniversary, the 71 Drive-In Theatre allowed adults in free to see Tarzan's Fight for Life if they were accompanied by their children. • Joan Bollum of rural Redwood Falls, with less than three years experience at the sport, won the national field archery tournament at Hot Springs, Arkansas. She broke a national record during the contest, with her score of 829 being 128 points higher than the previous record. • Dr. W.A. Brand was honored for being the official physician for the Redwood?Falls National Guard company since 1908. 1987—25 years ago • Four bystanders were injured when a woman lost control of her 1978 Cadillac on S. Washington Street, drove onto the sidewalk, and totaled four cars parked in front of city hall. • In the listings of the Redwood County 4-H county fair champions, Troy Krause of the Loyal Scotties was overall grand champion in flower gardens, while Kelly Zwaschka of the Vesta Vikings won champion child development. (Note: Troy is editor of the Redwood Gazette, while wife Kelly gave birth to their seventh child, Gideon, this week. Congrats from the Gazette staff!) • The construction crews fixing the Lake Redwood dam under the Highway 19 bridge picked up a mascot: a wild goose who became so tame it would eat out of the crews' hands. • The North Redwood Civic Club added new events to this year's Sears Day celebration: horse drawn wagon rides, a day-long volleyball tournament, and skate board demonstrations. • "Wonderful World of Disney" was the theme for the Redwood Falls Back to School Parade. 2002—10 years ago • Farmfest added a new innovation this year: a camera mounted next to the show office allowed people to see a live webcast of the site on the Internet anywhere around the world. • The concrete pig decorated by the Redwood County 4-H was auctioned off at Farmfest for $125. • Hi-Way Lanes bowling alley entered a new era with the introduction of automatic scoring. • An assault charge let to one of the shortest trials in memory in Redwood County. Jury selection started at 9 a.m., and everyone got to have an early lunch after the verdict was read at 11:33 a.m. • Ted Bergstrom of New Ulm popped up to 700 pounds of popcorn during his three days at Farmfest.

Which companies stand out post-ASCO?
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2013 Annual Meeting proved to be a fount of knowledge and wealth. With palpable excitement, positive news on several developmental therapeutics spurred investor enthusiasm, in some cases to new highs. For some companies, the effects of that enthusiasm lasted long after the lights went out at Chicago's McCormick Place.
Considered the premier oncology conference, ASCO has a major impact on the global oncology therapeutic market, attracting multinational attendees, and is a prime venue for major cancer information news releases. While the value of coverage of new technologies and cancer treatment practices cannot be overestimated from a clinical perspective, these announcements also have immense impact on companies working in oncology—large and small, investors, analysts, payers, governments…the list goes on. Consider then the business development and licensing activities within the biopharmaceutical arena. Is ASCO a good time to consider business development and licensing actions? Is there an optimal time?
While many companies achieved favorable coverage as a result of ASCO, Clovis Oncology, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck have stood out. One may wonder what attributes or perceptions of these companies made investors take notice. A typical investor's immediate reaction to reports of new clinical developments is to monitor favored portfolio participants and compute potential wealth. For governments and private payers the reported developments provide insight and an opportunity to look ahead to developing treatments likely to be commercialized, with subsequent impact not only on patients but also on healthcare budgets. Longer-term planning becomes significant. For companies seeking to divest, acquire, out-license or in-license an oncologic asset, ASCO provides an optimal time and place to consider and refine the decision process.This year, of all the possible examples of companies for which ASCO appears to have had a direct impact on stock price, Clovis comes to the forefront. The company presented positive news regarding its PARP inhibitor rucaparib in ovarian cancer patients, then subsequently early data for CO-1686 in second-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). When upgrading the stock shortly after ASCO, analysts at Piper Jaffray noted, "[CO-1686] solidifies its potential as the sole available candidate for T790M EGFR mutants, a significant lung cancer population."
The positive news on two of Clovis' assets created excitement, and the stock price more than doubled on June 3, with the company's market cap reaching $1.911 billion. This dramatic result shows that investors and physicians must pay attention not only to the therapeutic agent in development but also to the associated biological characterization tests as it is their combined impact that offers hope to patients whose current treatment options leave a significant unmet need.Clovis Oncology—Stock Fluctuation Surrounding ASCO 2013
May 1 - June 13, 2013
For those who follow Clovis, the company had "primed the pumps" to its investors to be aware of ASCO and provided a preview in their May 16 press release that results from three Phase I studies of its two lead compounds would be presented at ASCO 2013. CEO Patrick Mahaffy is not known for letting the grass grow under his feet, and the company announced that it intended to try to raise $170 million in an underwritten public offering. On June 13 the company announced the fundraising had been successfully accomplished; it raised a total of $275 million.
This year's ASCO had a strong focus on PD-1 inhibitors, which play a significant role in suppression of antitumor immunity. Both BMS and Merck announced the development of potential blockbuster drugs in this space. With the surrounding news coverage leading up to the conference, attendees were likely focused on a BMS combination of Yervoy and nivolumab in advanced melanoma.
With less anticipation, Merck also emerged from ASCO as a key player in melanoma with its PD-1 inhibitor lambrolizumab, which delivered "an equally impressive overall response rate of 38% in advanced melanoma." Since this drug has been designated as a "breakthrough therapy" by the FDA, analysts anticipate that reactions from Merck investors will be dramatic. As The Motley Fool said, "Merck may be a gigantic, low-beta pharmaceutical company that you usually glance right over when scanning for income and value plays, but chances are you haven't kept up on two exciting developments that could help reignite its growth engine."
Merck & Co. – Stock Fluctuation Surrounding ASCO 2013
May 1 – June 13, 2013
Given that Merck plans clinical trials in NSCLC, as well, and hopes to submit an application for commercialization to the FDA in 2015, signs are positive for renewed vigor and growth at Merck. Merck's stock jumped 5% to $49.05 on June 3 following its announcement of the Phase I study results for lambrolizumab. This increase is impressive, considering that it takes far more to move the needle for a larger company than an emerging one. Clearly, Merck is in the limelight, and expectations are increasing. Might these events open the eyes of potential small and midsized company licensors to consider Merck as a possible business partner for commercialization of their assets? Or might prospective licensors be more willing to listen to Merck when they come knocking at the door? After all, opportunity is a two-way street.
It is clear that the initial announcements and weeks leading up to ASCO create anticipation and expectations among the multiple stakeholders in oncology. Diagnostics and related companies are able to demonstrate their scientific skills, while therapeutics companies demonstrate their scientific and clinical expertise. Business development folks are tracking progress of new and emerging technologies, noting lead opportunities, possibly sowing the seeds of collaboration. Oncologists embrace and applaud the ever-increasing opportunities to fight cancer more effectively, and practice managers and other fiscally responsible and related parties are concerned about practice profit or investment profit. ASCO should indeed be a vital consideration for business development and licensing efforts in the global oncology market.Ian Hicks is SVP, Larry Rosenberg is VP, and Chris Gage is director, business development & licensing engagement leads, Kantar Health. None have financial positions in any of the companies discussed.

SodaStream bosses are planning to give actress Scarlett Johansson a guided tour of their Israeli headquarters this year (14) following the backlash she received over their business partnership.
The Lost in Translation beauty has been caught in a furore after signing up to appear in the beverage firm's new advertising campaign, with critics slamming her decision because the company is based in the Middle Eastern state.
The actress resigned from her eight-year role as Oxfam Ambassador on Thursday (30Jan14) in the fallout from the row, and now company president Yonah Lloyd wants to take her to their HQ in Israel to show her around the site.
He tells The Jerusalem Post, "She has never been to Israel before. We look forward to hosting her later in the year."
Johansson began her partnership with Oxfam in 2007, raising awareness of global poverty during trips to India and Kenya.

Update, 8:30 p.m. NEWTOWN, Conn. — The families of all the victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook School in Newtown have been notified, Lt. J. Paul Vance of the Connecticut State Police said in a press conference broadcast Friday night.
"The families have been notified. The preliminary identifications have been made," said Vance.
He said the names of all 27 victims could be made public sometime Saturday and police would release more details at a press conference at 8 a.m.
"It's a horrific scene. We've never seen anything like this," Vance said.
The families of the 20 children killed during the shooting at Sandy Hook School were together at a local fire station early Friday night and had each been assigned a Connecticut state trooper who will update them regularly with information on the investigation.
"They will be the first to know any progress made," Vance said at a news conference Friday afternoon.
Twenty-seven people were killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook School Friday, Connecticut Police confirmed. Vance called the school a "horrific and difficult scene."
In addition, a person found dead in a home in Newtown is connected to the school shooting, Vance said at a news conference Friday afternoon.
"There is a second crime scene here in Newtown. There is an adult deceased at that location," Vance said.
The suspect was found dead inside the school, Vance said. The gunman is being reported as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. Earlier in the day, reports incorrectly identified the shooter as his older brother, Ryan.
News video showed Ryan Lanza being taken from his Hoboken, N.J. home in handcuffs. Someone who knew Ryan Lanza from Quinnipiac University described him as a "quiet and reserved guy." He said he had never met Adam Lanza.
Vance said several law enforcement agencies are serving search warrants as the investigation continues.
"It is not a simplistic scene," Vance said. "We're not putting a time stamp on this as to when we will complete this project."
Vance said the shootings took place in two classrooms of the school. He would not say what grades the children who were killed were in.
The FBI's crisis management team is responding to the school Saturday, Vance said, to work with first responders.
Lt. George Sinko of the Newtown Police Department said the families were together at the local fire station near the school and had all been told about their child's fate.
"This is most definitely the worst thing we have experience here in town," he said. "We have done our best to try and comfort them."
Gov. Dannel Malloy extended condolences to the families of the victims on behalf of the people of Connecticut.
"Earlier today a number of our citizens, beautiful children, had their lives taken away from them, as well as adults whose responsibility it was to educate and supervise these children."
Malloy said the perpetrator of the crime is dead as is an individual who the perpetrator lived with.
"Evil visited this community today and it is too early to speak of recovery," Malloy said later Friday evening.
Parents scrambled Friday morning to get the school. Adam Dunford, whose eight-year-old daughter is a third grader at the school, was at work in Jefferson Valley, N.Y. when he got the robo-call from the school district saying the schools were on lockdown.
He called the school back but couldn't get through. He called the police, learned there had been a shooting and set off for the 35-mile drive.
"I drove as fast as I could, breaking every speed limit there was, Dunford said. "It was a horrifying drive to get there. I was listening to all the different reports, some said it wasn't too bad and others said it was really bad."
Dunford's daughter had been led out of the school by her teacher and was safe and waiting for him at the firehouse.
Joe Wasik, of Newtown, said his daughter Alexis, 8, a third grader, was shoved into a closet by her teacher trying to keep her safe during the shooting.
His daughter saw someone on the ground in handcuffs.
While speaking to a reporter, Wasik broke up into tears as a man and woman passed by crying hysterically.

People are losing the toolbar in the post and page editor after upgrading to WordPress 3.3. It could happen because of a problem with your computer, or a problem with your WordPress files.
edit: There was also a report of a malfunctioning toolbar that #3 and #4 solved.
Although this doesn't officially solve the problem, using compatibility mode in Internet Explorer 9 did rectify the problem for at least one person.
If that can carry you through until the official fix comes through, I'd recommending only trying the first two solutions and stopping there.
edit: I changed the order of the last 2 steps below – what you see is the updated advice. Step 2 is only a 50/50 proposition, but you can't go doing things like 3 and 4 without clearing your cache first. It's just good WordPress (and computer) policy!
(1) First, check to see if you have an ad blocker extension installed in your browser. Disable it and see if that works. If that works, then just add your WordPress site as an exception.
(2) Second is to deal with the cache: some people refreshing the screen a few times got the toolbar to eventually appear. Holding down SHIFT while you click reload/refresh is supposed to force a full refresh of the page. You'd want to do that a few times. If there's no relief there, try clearing the cache. The cache in Chrome is persistent, so at this point you've got to confirm the exact same problem in another browser.
(3) Try the 0.8 hotfix from WordPress, it's the link labeled "Development Version".
(Not sure what to do with hotfixes after WP gets upgraded later, I'll follow up.)
edit: if (3) didn't solve your problem, I'd be surprised.
(4) Install the plugin Use Google Libraries. It seems to solve the problem without clearing the cache, but if it doesn't immediately clear your problem, then you'd want to clear the cache just to be sure. (I'll follow up to see if we're expected to keep this permanently, I would think we can uninstall it after a fix for this problem comes through.)
If the Google Libraries plugin solves your problem, then it was recommended to manually copy the files from a manual download to the /wp-includes/ directory .
Since this problem was fixed with solutions that were based both on one's computer and from the web, I would take the concepts involved in these solutions that worked for other people and apply them elsewhere. For sample, if you have some kind of safe browsing plugin, maybe disabling that could help. The toolbar runs javascript and computer systems generally have very detailed javascript security settings.
More than one person has reported that downgrading didn't solve their problem.
