Cleanth Brooks, one of the foremost American literary critics of the twentieth century, spent fifteen years as a professor in the English Department at Louisiana State University (LSU). He was the central architect of the "New Criticism," a critical movement that transformed the teaching of literature in the United States. The author of The Well Wrought Urn and coeditor, with Robert Penn Warren, of the groundbreaking anthology Understanding Poetry, Brooks brought fresh attention to literary form and the practice of close reading. He profoundly influenced American literary studies and shaped successive generations of students and teachers of literature with his work.
Born October 16, 1906, in Murray, Kentucky, Cleanth Brooks, Jr., was the son of Cleanth Brooks, Sr., and Bessie Lee Witherspoon Brooks. Because his father was a Methodist minister, Brooks moved repeatedly during his childhood. He attended the McTyeire School in McKenzie, Tennessee, and then Vanderbilt University. Brooks attended Vanderbilt in the mid-1920s, when it was the site of exceptional literary activity. At Vanderbilt, a group of poets produced a short-lived yet influential poetry magazine, The Fugitive, while a group of twelve scholars, known as the Nashville Agrarians, issued the anti-industrial manifesto I'll Take My Stand in 1930. Brooks formed enduring relationships with many of the writers from the Fugitive and Agrarian movements, such as John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, Allan Tate, and Robert Penn Warren.
After Vanderbilt, Brooks did graduate work at Tulane University and at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. In 1932, he joined the faculty of the English Department at LSU, where he served until 1947. At the beginning of his tenure, then governor Huey Long dramatically increased the school's funding, initiating a literary renaissance in the English Department. Brooks's colleague from Vanderbilt, Robert Penn Warren, joined the faculty around the same time, and together they founded The Southern Review in 1935. It eventually served as a model for literary journals across the United States.
A prolific writer and scholar, Brooks edited several anthologies, primarily with Warren as coeditor. He also published major studies on Faulkner, language, and the history of literary criticism. Brooks opposed several of the dominant critical assumptions of his time, including the ideas that form and content can be separated in literature, that a poem had a paraphrasable core of meaning, and that a poem's meaning was primarily dependent on its context. Instead, Brooks argued that a poem's meaning derived from an internal relationship between its individual components. A poem was an "organic" whole that acquired unity through a balanced resolution of paradox, a concept he considered fundamental to the language of poetry. The methodology Books and others developed, often referred to as New Criticism, influenced generations of literary scholars.
In 1942, LSU temporarily disbanded The Southern Review, prompting Brooks and Warren to seek employment elsewhere; both ultimately settled at Yale, where Brooks took a position in 1947. Named the first Gray Professor of Rhetoric at Yale in 1961, he retired in 1975 but continued lecturing for many years. He died May 10, 1994.
While no longer the main theoretical basis for literary scholarship, the New Criticism remains indispensable to classroom instruction and anthology formation. A number of Brooks's younger colleagues and students at Yale went on to establish or revise approaches to literary study that constitute in their various ways a response to the New Criticism. Whether through a continuation of his views or in conscious divergence from them, American literary criticism owes a major debt to Cleanth Brooks.Author: Vince Brewton

UC President Santa Ono's letter
$1 billion from 100,000 unique donors puts UC in select company
We did it. We set a highly ambitious goal of raising $1 billion in philanthropic support, and we surpassed that mark a full five months before the campaign's official endpoint of June 30, 2013.
This is a monumental achievement and not just because of one giant number. The real key to this milestone is not that we raised it, but how we did so — and the incredible impact it will have on our campus and out in the world.
I certainly don't want to downplay that dollar figure because it puts us in some very select company. Fewer than 2 percent of all colleges and universities in the country have ever raised so much, and you can probably name several of them without trying: Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan and Penn State. But here are some numbers that strike me as even more important.
First, 100,000 unique donors made this possible. Think about that. Even for a place with as much history as the University of Cincinnati, that's a staggering figure. To put it in perspective, imagine the entire population of cities like Boulder, Green Bay or South Bend, Ind., reaching into their pockets simultaneously to give money to a university campaign.
Perhaps even more stunning is that fully half of those people were first-time donors. The range of donors is startling, too, whether you look at who or where.
Roughly 60 percent of donors are alumni, meaning not only that our alumni believe strongly in the UC mission but that 40,000 non-alumni do, too. About a third of donations came from outside Cincinnati — New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Northern California, all over — which makes a statement about UC's growing reach. And some $65 million came from our own faculty and staff, which says something about people's willingness to invest in the future of a place they love.
The spirit behind this outpouring is both thrilling and humbling, especially when you think about the concrete changes it will make. Thanks to your generosity, 530 new scholarships have already been created, 23 faculty chairs endowed, and beautiful campus facilities planned or upgraded.
We will continue to attract and retain world-class faculty and students. We will push forward with new research into Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as the areas of business, law, religion, engineering and so many fields connected to so many lives.
We have many folks to thank for all of this, including campaign co-chairs Otto Budig and Buck Niehoff; Steve Wilson, chairman and interim president of the University of Cincinnati Foundation at the time; and all the staff and volunteers who worked to make "Proudly Cincinnati" a success.
But without the "you" in UC, reading this now, the university and its work literally couldn't exist, much less be on the amazing trajectory of these last few years.
I'm as "proudly Cincinnati" as anyone. So after all the stats and numbers, finally and simply, I say, "Thank you."
Santa J. Ono, President
University of Cincinnati

They spent weekends in blue jeans putting up walls, pouring cement and staining floors. In the beginning they were willing to live in primitive conditions or amid the debris of construction. And although the process took a bit longer because they were novices, the two couples who recently finished houses in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts were determined to participate in the building of their own houses.
The results of their labors and strategic planning are two houses whose prices are rare these days: Dicken and Ashley Crane and Jeff and Mia Wheelwright both have built houses that cost less than $60,000. For the Wheelwrights, the house is used primarily for vacations and weekends, but the Cranes live in theirs year-round.

Faster service is coming on several Chicago Transit Authority bus routes on Monday when more express service will be added to three routes, the agency announced.Frequency of express service will be increased on the No. X49 Western Express, No. X55 Garfield Express and No. X80 Irving Park Express routes, according to a CTA news release.
These experimental service enhancements come as part of an effort to improve the overall efficiency of the routes by reconfiguring the amount of express and local service, the CTA said.
The experimental express service enhancements will change the ratio of express to local service along the three test corridors -- more express buses will be running along these routes. By changing the ratio, there is no change to CTA's operating expenses as no additional materials or staff are needed, officials said.

CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami) – A University of Miami cafeteria cashier says she's been given a second chance. Betty Asbury, affectionately known as "Miss Betty" will go back to work at the cafeteria Wednesday, October 31st.
University of Miami students rallied last week to support her saying she was unjustly fired. The kids at UM, they supported me, they stood with me, I never was alone," said Asbury.
Chartwells, a division of Compass Group, is the food service company that employed her. The company completed a review after Asbury's termination and delivered a letter Monday telling her she would be able to go back to work.
Asbury says she'll receive the same pay rate and back pay, but she does not know how many hours she'll work or what position she'll have. She says she's sure the students who supported her will come see her even if she isn't a cashier.
"I won't be in the same position, but they'll find me, they'll find me," she said.
Asbury was fired from her job as a cashier at the Hecht/Stanford Dining Hall on October 10th after a man walked past her without paying the required $6.80 for breakfast, she said.
According to Asbury, she did not see the man as she was ringing up another customer.
"I said please, I made a human mistake by overlooking someone and letting them in," Asbury said.
The UM students rallying on her behalf demanded that Chartwell's rehire Miss Betty.
Asbury loved her job and said when she was fired, she not only lost her job, she lost a family.
The signatures were gathered through a petition started on Change.org by grad student Philipp Schwind.
"The men and women who feed us should be treated better than this," said Schwind. "Betty was one of the people who made the University of Miami community a better place, and I'm proud to see that thousands of students, alumni, parents, faculty and others are rallying to support her."
This rally is one of many events that has been organized by STAND (Students Toward a New Democracy) to bring Betty back. STAND is a grassroots student organization at UM that deals with issues of social justice. They have been supporting workers in their attempts to form a union at the University of Miami.
"What happened to Miss Betty can happen to any Chartwells worker at any time, these workers have no job security and no voice on the job, they know that and that is why they have been trying to form a union so that they can have respect and dignity on the job, so that what happened to Miss Betty doesn't happen again," said Javier Figueroa a member of STAND.
In a statement released by Chartwells, the company said "Employment decisions are based on established policies and procedures and applicable state and federal employment laws. Based on our understanding of the facts, it does not appear that the former employee has provided complete information to the community."
The statement went on, "We are very sympathetic and respectful to the concerns raised in the campus community after the release of a well-liked associate. Due to privacy concerns and confidentiality laws, our ability to discuss or comment upon specific associates or issues surrounding their employment is quite limited."
Chartwells also said it is "dispatching a corporate Human Resource team to conduct an immediate and thorough review of the termination next week. We will also review policies and procedures."
Asbury had been working as a cashier for Chartwells for two years and had received very high evaluations before the incident, she has been a member of the UM community for even longer as her son played basketball for the Hurricanes in 2006.

Many people rave over the ability to be able to multi table games.
This is fine if you are a cash game player, especially in limit where you are simply looking for premium hands to raise up or looking for some nice suited connectors in late position to make a straight or flush and crack those Aces.
In limit you can multi table five or so tables in a ten player ring game and make a nice profit simply by showing down better hands.
However you will also lose a lot of money by not spotting who are the fish at the table.
Multi tabling the six handed SNG is not a good idea.
Ten handed SNG's can be multi tabled by firing the second one up half way through the first and so on. But I see distinct drawbacks with this approach and they are compounded when it comes to the six handed game.
You need to come second to nearly double your buy in. If you keep coming second you will drain your bankroll.
You need to come first regularly to make taking the game seriously worth while.
If you start multi tabling then you will start accepting races in spots where you shouldn't. You will start racing your AK against JJ in the first round of blinds and when you lose, simply fire up another table and put it down to bad luck.
To become a consistently winning player over time you can not sustain this approach. The game gives too many bad beats and miracle cards to make it a multi tabling reality. If you want to multi table then cash games are your bag.
When you multi table you start to lose your edge as a winning tournament player.
Think about this....
Once you can master the six handed SNG tournament then you have the skills to be able to give a good account of yourself on the final table of a big tourney.
A freezeout tournament requires skills of patience and picking spots. If you play straightforward poker in these tournaments you only need to play seven, eight or nine hands or so to make the final table. This advice applies to the low limit ($10 and below) tournaments.
Of course it's not that simple and you do need to hit some cards to make the final table but it is very achievable to consistently make the money if you adopt the "tight is right" approach.
Now, once you make that final table all of the money is in the top three spots and so if you are good at playing the six handed game then you have a good chance to make a decent cash.
If you multi table the SNG then you will lose edges.
I don't see this as a sane way of playing the six handed game. If you are good at this it's quite feasible to go on runs of first places. My best is five wins in a row. In my opinion that beats the hell out of trying to multi table and race your hands.
So this is why the double stack tournament is the place to play. The blinds go up just as quick as a regular SNG but because you have a double stack you can sit and wait for the hands to come to you.
You should be aiming to finish in the money at least 60% of the time. This is entirely feasible if you pay attention to the players on your table and you can quickly spot who are the wild characters.
If you are multi tabling you will not be able to spot this and as we've discussed, in the SNG you are looking at playing a huge turnover of players who come from the cash games either through boredom or they can't get a table and so you are going to be up against all different types of players from the poker spectrum.
Multi tabling is for cash games and ten handed SNG's.
The six handed SNG requires all of your attention to be a consistently winning player because you are making important decisions every single hand.

I think I'm losing my mind. Today I tried to do my maths homework and I'm pretty sure I was doing what the book said to do... and yet, I consistently got the wrong answers. It was not a hard chapter. I cried.
Fortunately, my parents were on hand to offer ever-useful advice such as "Eat a banana" and "Go and play with the cats: they have a different set of priorities."
I could use this blog post to rant about how painful maths is, how whoever implemented the new system clearly didn't think it through...etc, etc, first world problems, etc... But instead I'd like to tell you this:
Nothing is worth getting that worked up about. if you are becoming so caught up in a difficult subject that you actually start crying (embarrassing as it is to admit this, it's not the first time I've done that... it could partly be my age?) then something is clearly wrong. Almost nothing in this world is that important.
I want to let you know that I'm here if you're having some sort of trouble. School and exams can be a very stressful time, particularly as most of us take exams during the most volatile years of our life, when hormones are all over the place and we get so angry about everything. Drop an email to email@example.com if you're having any issues, or comment below, and we can try and sort it all out together. Even if the only advice I can give you is about fruit or the healing properties of a family pet, I'll at least try to help and it might be nice just to talk about it with someone. The subjects I take are English, Irish, Maths, History, French, Biology and Business Studies (here in Ireland we take a diverse selection for Leaving Cert) and I'd be happy to advise on pretty much any of these where I can. Or if it's general stuff, that's fine too. The school-help hotline is officially open for business.
Of course, it's true that a little stress is good. For example, I know that Bambi got stressed when she approached her exams last year (she probably didn't cry, though), but she ended up achieving ELEVEN As (out of a possible... you guessed it, eleven)! So stress can be a huge motivator... It depends on how you respond to it.
For example, next time your Scumbag Irish book tries to explain what an Irish word means by using another Irish word... don't get angry or give up. Simply find your dictionary (or go to www.focal.ie) and think about it this way: you now have two new words in your vocabulary.
Try looking at exam papers to see what use all this studying will be in the end. It might even make it all less scary. For example, I know that the French listening exercises for the exam are a lot easier than the ones in my textbook. Things like that tend to calm one down a little.
Write a list of where you're at now, and what you need to get done before your exams. Hopefully, this will focus your mind and you'll be able to formulate some definite goals and a timetable for achieving them.
Above all, talk to people. Talk to your parents, or, if you're not lucky enough to have ones as supportive as mine, you can try offloading on friends, teachers, or as I've said, me. That way you'll be able to actually find out what it is you're having trouble with, rather than getting bogged down in the whole thing.
Last of all, ladies and gentlemen, I leave you with Scumbag Textbook. That's right, it's an actual thing! I checked!

Gabriele Michael Roman-Kane
A man born into political royalty. His father, grandfather, great grandfather and all his other grandfathers being U.S. Senators. He of course next in line to take the families seat.
Ironically, he's a man also born into organized crime. The younger brother to Nick Roman, head of one of the most notorious mafia families on the east coast.
The Roman Family.
All the women in the law office heard the stories. He's well known for taking women to places, one could only dream of going with a man.
Sweet, painfully delicious places.
Will Mia go with him?
Gabriele Michael Elijah Roman-Kane
Attorney, New York State Senate Candidate
Do you have any special skills or training?
I have many…many special skills *winks*
How would you describe yourself?
Wow. Okay. I would describe myself as someone who is very comfortable in their skin. I'm passionate about life and the causes I stand for. I'm driven and optimistic. I believe in growth, not only of myself but of those around me.
Who is your significant other(s)?
Currently, my significant other is Mia Morgan.
How would they describe you?
Probably an asshole. *laughs out loud* If I had to guess….I'd say she would describe me as someone who is caring. Someone who respects her boundaries. Someone who loves to watch her grow, not only professionally but personally. Someone who can't get enough of her.
Tell us about your family.
I have quite the oxymoron of families.
On my father's side, everyone is very political. All males, owning the same senate seat for years. This side of my family is pretentious, indulgent, entitled and a bit narcissistic.
On my mothers side…the Roman side, well….it's known as a mafia crime family. I find humor in the fact, it's thought we are. Just because we are Italian, doesn't mean we are immediately connected.
This side of my family is very loving and loyal. We have each others backs, no matter what. At times, they can be a bit intrusive, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
What do you think was left unsettled in your story?
The story my client is hiding.
If you could change anything about your story what would it be?
Not taking on my client's case in the first place.

Unfortunately, many young adults fail to comprehend the risks of substances such as K2, so the responsibility of educating them falls upon parents and healthcare professionals.
Spring Hill, FL (PRWEB) June 30, 2014
The legalization of recreational marijuana has recently spawned heated debates about the drug's possible influence on increased drug use among teens. While some say that legalization has no bearing on teen marijuana use, according to Suncoast Rehabilitation Center, teens are undoubtedly using marijuana and other related substances, such as synthetic marijuana—a statement proven true by recent reports of a teenage girl overdosing on synthetic marijuana and suffering a seizure as a result. Suncoast says that the legalization of recreational marijuana has created a society in which drug use is viewed nonchalantly by young adults—a trend which the facility says evidences the need for youth drug education and prevention.
Several news outlets recently reported the case of a 13-year old girl who needed immediate medical attention after smoking K2, a form of synthetic marijuana comprised of a blend of herbs, spices, and cannabis-like chemicals. A family member found the teen having convulsions outside of her apartment after overdosing on the substance, and she was taken to the emergency room for treatment. (1) While the girl was soon released after treatment, Suncoast Executive Director Tammy Strickling says that the incident is indicative of the urgency for a nationwide strategy designed to educate children and teens on the dangers of drug use, and prevent situations that could lead to life-threatening situations for young adults.
"Early drug use has been proven to increase a person's chances of more serious substance abuse and addiction later in life—but early education and prevention of the use of drugs or alcohol would likely be influential in reducing the risk of teens progressing to abuse and addiction," said Strickling. "Unfortunately, many young adults fail to comprehend the risks of substances such as K2, so the responsibility of educating them falls upon parents and healthcare professionals."
Studies show that side effects of K2 can include agitation, threatening behavior, and even hallucinations—but doctors say the drug is much more dangerous for teens, and can potentially cause heart attacks. (2) In 2011, three 16-year-olds experienced heart attacks after smoking K2—and while there was no definitive proof that K2 was the cause, doctors suggested that the drug might have caused temporary spasms in the coronary arteries, which in turn, "might have cut off the heart's blood supply long enough to kill part of the muscle." (3)
Strickling maintains that synthetic marijuana's widespread availability and use among teens—more than 10 percent of high school seniors admitted to using the substance (4)—can potentially lead to more risky behavior or even lethal consequences. The key to reducing the likelihood of death or overdose due to synthetic or traditional marijuana use is by limiting, rather than increasing, access to drugs such as marijuana and its synthetic imitations. Furthermore, public education on the potential dangers of drug abuse is critical, per Strickling.
For parents and educators looking to open a two-way dialogue with teens about drugs and alcohol, Strickling suggests the following:
● Maintain open communication avenues. Be available to listen to teens, and provide an outlet for those who wish to discuss drug and alcohol use.
● Become knowledgeable. Every substance goes by several different street names. Staying abreast of the correct terms lends more credibility when discussing drugs with teens.
● Set strict expectations. Teens are notorious for pushing the limits. Make sure children and students know and fully understand the consequences if rules are broken with regard to drug and/or alcohol use.
Suncoast enables its clients to take the first step in conquering addiction and reclaiming their lives from drugs. Suncoast's medical team designs treatment programs to physically address the malnutrition created by substance abuse, and the Suncoast counseling team tailors client therapy to help provide insight into the past—all intended to help addicts confront life better, and without reverting to drugs. Ninety percent of Suncoast's clients began their drug use with marijuana before graduating to harder narcotics—a statistic which led the facility to join the Florida Sheriffs Association in order to educate Floridians about the dangerous consequences of marijuana legalization.

New Jersey-based Merck and Co. Inc., which maintains no wrongdoing, announced Thursday it would pay between $21.8 million and $37 million to settle a class action lawsuit with Canadians who say they experienced heart trouble after taking Vioxx.
The settlement — which has yet to receive court approval — includes about $10 million in fixed costs and legal fees. The rest will be determined based on the number of eligible claimants.
Mike Peerless, a lawyer with London, Ont.-based Siskinds LLP, who helped lead negotiations with Merck, said between 1,000 and 2,000 Canadians may be eligible to be compensated under the settlement.
He praised the deal as a satisfactory ending to a difficult case.
"This has been a very long and complicated case to work our way through. It was hard-fought at every step, but we're certainly very pleased on behalf of the plaintiffs to have come to a resolution," Peerless said in a telephone interview.
The Canadian settlement is the latest chapter in a more than decade-long saga involving Vioxx, which has been off the market for seven years as a result of the ongoing controversy surrounding it.
Merck touted the drug as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis starting in 1999 despite the fact the U.S. government had not approved its use for that purpose.
While doctors were permitted to write prescriptions for the drug, Merck was forbidden from marketing it as a treatment for that condition.
The U.S. Justice Department alleged Merck promoted Vioxx for rheumatoid arthritis for three years and continued to do so after getting a warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration in September 2001.
The drug was approved as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in April 2002, but evidence later surfaced suggesting it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Vioxx was ultimately pulled from the market in 2004.
Since then, Merck has been embroiled in legal negotiations with plaintiffs who say they suffered heart attacks or other cardiac episodes while on the drug. The company paid US$4.85 billion to settle nearly 50,000 lawsuits in 2007.
Last November, the U.S. justice department ordered the company to pay a further US$950 million to resolve investigations of the way Vioxx was marketed.
Throughout the legal wrangling, however, Merck has steadfastly maintained it did no wrong and said the various settlements it negotiated are in no way a statement of liability.
The company reiterated that point when announcing the terms of the Canadian suit.
"Merck continues to believe that the evidence shows the company acted responsibly with Vioxx, from the careful study in clinical trials involving about 10,000 patients before its approval by regulatory authorities around the world, through the careful safety monitoring while Vioxx was on the market, right up through the decision to voluntarily withdraw the medicine in September 2004," Merck said in a statement.
The company also said it will be examining individual claims to determine who qualifies for its settlement amounts.
"Claims for myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death will be evaluated on an individual basis by an independent administrator based on objective criteria related to various factors, including duration of Vioxx use, age and presence of risk factors," Merck said. "Individual awards for ischemic stroke claims will be a uniform amount not to exceed C$5,000."
Peerless praised Merck for its willingness to negotiate a settlement despite its assertion of innocence.
"Merck certainly does not say they did anything wrong, in fact they deny they ever did, but I still think they need to be commended for coming forward and putting enough money on the table that we think those people who have been injured by this product when it was on the market can get fairly compensated."
The Canadian class action lawsuit is being handled by a consortium of 18 lawfirms across the country, Peerless said, adding that anyone who feels they may be eligible for compensation should come forward as soon as possible.

text: Long-awaited debut EP from this new-ish Toxic State band. I loved this band, but this EP blows away their older stuff. The high-pitched female vocalist definitely reminds me a little bit of the respective singers from Criaturas and Sad Boys, but the music here is really three-dimensional. It's fast and hardcore, but there's also a subtle melodic (maybe even oi!?) undercurrent. Really, I can't think of much that it sounds like... it kind of reminds me of an old Riot City band like the Violators, but the playing and songwriting is about 1000x better than that. It goes without saying that this has the standard beautiful Toxic State packaging, the music here really is something else... very highly recommended.

Modern Family star gets her boyfriend a part on Modern Family
Keen for a guest role in Modern Family? Then start dating star Sarah Hyland: her character, teen ditz Haley Dunphy, is getting a new love interest to be played by Sarah's real-life boyfriendMatt Prokop.
(Of course, you'd have to break them up for your scheme to work. Hmmm...)
You might recognise Matt if you know (or are) a tween: he starred in High School Musical 3 as basically the younger version of Zac Efron's character. He and Sarah apparently met at the casting call for the 2008 movie.
This is far from the first time the couple have appeared onscreen together: they co-starred in the 2011 rom-com Conception, playing teens who make a baby the first time they Do It; they teamed up again in the 2012 Disney Channel movie Geek Charming, playing high-schoolers from different cliques who fall for each other; and they're both in Struck By Lightning, the upcoming teencom written by Glee's Chris Colfer.
Um. Maybe someone wants to tell them that it's healthy for couples to spend time apart?

A day after a Stratford police officer became the first person charged under a 1990 state law requiring gun owners to keep loaded weapons from their children's grasp, gun control experts debated whether such legislation is effective.
Stratford Officer Wanda Gonzalez was charged after her 12-year-old son found her .357 magnum on a shelf in her bedroom and, fooling with it, fired and pierced the leg of his 8-year-old brother, said Bridgeport Sgt. Frank Resta. The wounded boy was treated at a hospital.

SEATTLE, Jan. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cascadian Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CASC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced an overview of recent progress for its investigational drug portfolio in addition to several anticipated key objectives for 2017.
"In 2016, we refocused our resources on the development of our small molecule HER2 inhibitor, tucatinib, and have entered 2017 with clear priorities and with an enhanced team that has late-stage development experience," said Scott D. Myers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascadian Therapeutics. "In the fourth quarter of 2016, following a very collaborative meeting with the FDA, we amended the ongoing HER2CLIMB Phase 2 trial of tucatinib so that, if successful, HER2CLIMB could serve as a single pivotal registration trial. Updated data from the ongoing Phase 1b Triplet combination study continues to show a tolerable safety profile and encouraging anti-tumor activity in a heavily pre-treated population, including those with and without brain metastases. With a clear, accelerated regulatory pathway for the advancement of tucatinib in the United States, a solid balance sheet and an expanded talented leadership team, we plan to spend more time on our ex-U.S. strategy for tucatinib and to continue building for success in 2017 and beyond."
Recent Progress Update
Tucatinib — targeted HER2 inhibitor
CASC-578 - a novel Chk1 cell cycle inhibitor
During the fourth quarter and during 2016, the following progress was made in the CASC-578 program:
Corporate Update
2017 Key Objectives Planned
Focus on HER2CLIMB pivotal trial enrollment: Expand the HER2CLIMB trial to sites in Europe, Australia and Israel in the first half of 2017.
Report new data at scientific meetings: Report new data analyses from tucatinib and the Chk1 cell cycle inhibitor at scientific meetings in 2017.
Explore tucatinib's utility in other clinical settings: Support the initiation of select investigator-sponsored combination trials, including trials in HER2-positive amplified, metastatic colorectal cancer and in combination with palbociclib and letrozole in HER2-positive, hormone-receptor positive metastatic breast cancer.
Define next steps for CASC-578: Complete pharmacology studies in the first half of 2017 and make go/no-go decision on IND-enabling studies for CASC-578 in the second half of 2017.
Pursue capital options: Evaluate all available financing vehicles, including non-dilutive options such as out-licensing tucatinib regional rights.

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side … Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
From a letter by Robert Byrd to Mississippi United States Senator Theodore Bilbo, December 11, 1945
One amusing aspect of the current flap over Confederate statuary is the omission of the memorials to the late Senator Robert Byrd (D.WV). Go here to read a list of institutions named after him in his native West Virginia. A former Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, Byrd was the longest serving member of Congress when he died in 2010, having been a member of the House and Senate for almost 58 years. A fierce proponent of segregation when first elected to Congress, his position moderated over time as he amended his beliefs to fit changing political realities within the nation and his Democrat Party. Nicknamed the Prince of Pork, he succeeded, due to his seniority in the Senate, in getting endless Federal pork for his state. Since it seems to be an article of faith on the left that memorials to racists must be expunged from the public square, and that arguments that the racists changed are to be rejected out of hand, the omission of Byrd's tax supported memorials to himself from targeting by the left is curious, until one recalls that the latest hoorah over such monuments has nothing to do with race and everything to do with contemporary political battles, and that highlighting the sins of a contemporary Democrat like Byrd, who was hailed during his lifetime by many liberal Democrats still active in politics, would be politically inconvenient for the puppet masters who pull the strings of the leftist groups who seem to be outraged by racists dead for over a century, but seem quite willing to tolerate recent racists so long as they were members in good standing of the contemporary Democrat power structure.

If you like the song "Royals" by Lorde, you may have to thank former player George Brett of the Kansas City Royals. Why's that, you ask? Because, in an interview with VH1, the 17-year-old singer reveals that she struggled to figure out a title for her now hit single until she came across a picture of Brett.
"There's no denying the fact that 'Royals' has seized the zeitgeist. And speaking of that track, Lorde herself recently spoke to us about how the song was inspired in part with her obsession with historic monarchs and, strangely enough, by an image of a baseball player wearing a Kansas City Royals jersey in National Geographic."
She goes on to say that "this image from the National Geographic (the above picture) of this dude just signing baseballs. He was a baseball player and his shirt said, 'Royals.' It was just that word. It's really cool."
There you have it, folks! Brett's inspiration simply comes from his team's jersey and nothing more. It has nothing to do with baseball or the legend in the picture.

Digital Extremes Announce New Free To Play Shooter, Warframe [VIDEO]
Digital Extremes is one of the most interesting developers around these days. They tend to take the first person shooter by the scruff of the neck and squeeze some originality out of it, as evidenced in titles like The Darkness II and Dark Sector.
While their forthcoming Star Trek game has impressed many with its focus on coop gameplay, it now seems that it won't be the only title heading our way soon from the Canadian team. What's more? The other title they are working on looks like it will cost the equivalent of £0 and 0 pence, which by a quirk of currency exchange is exactly the same as $0 and 0 cents. Yes, that means it will be free.
Titled Warframe, the trailer below is based on early pre-alpha footage of the online game, but it seems like we wont have much longer to wait to see the real multiplayer title in action as reservations are being taken for the beta. Let us know what you think, and if you are interested in free to play titles, or prefer to pay for a AAA experience.

It wasn't so long ago that the Republican Party was in shambles, and Barack Obama's throngs filled the November air with chants of "Yes we can!"
"Change has come to America," he proclaimed on a night of triumph in Chicago in 2008, then set out with large Democratic majorities in Congress to make it so.
Cut forward two years and 4.8 million lost jobs. Now it's the Republicans on the brink of victory. Obama maneuvers in cramped political confines, undertaking one political salvage mission after another in the final hours of a campaign utterly unlike the last.
It has been a tumultuous journey from Obama's "Yes we can" to House Republican Leader John Boehner's "Hell no" rant against the giant health care bill.
January 2009: the economy in crisis, Obama and his allies in Congress took office.
Out of the gate, they produced an $814 billion economic stimulus bill. Later, they aggressively pursued and won enactment of historic health care legislation, but the bruising fight exposed rifts inside the party. Then came the bill to tame Wall Street. The out-of-power GOP stood virtually in lockstep against Obama's ambitious agenda, calculating that no political honeymoon could survive rising joblessness, home foreclosures and personal bankruptcies.
Auto bailouts. The stimulus. Health care. More money. More debt. More government. "But where are the jobs?" Boehner asked repeatedly.
Outraged, a grass-roots conservative-libertarian network _ dubbed the tea party _ emerged in opposition to Obama's policies, fed up with Washington and anything, it seemed, associated with the party establishments. And disillusionment brewed among liberals who thought the president's policies didn't go far enough.
Those emotions were on full display during acerbic health care town halls that summer. The tone spilled onto the House floor when Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina interrupted Obama's health care speech to lawmakers, shouting "You lie!."
America was still a restive nation.
Only this time, it was the Democrats who were in charge and who stood to be punished. And it was Republicans who stood to benefit and who were ready to take advantage _ even as the GOP was going through its own convulsions.
On Oct. 31, 2009, the unemployment rate peaked at 10.1 percent, and it's barely receeded.
"It eclipses almost everything," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says now, her majority at risk.
The first clear indication that the public's attitudes had dramatically changed _ and that trouble lay ahead for Democrats _ came a year ago. Voters itching for change elected Republicans as governor in Virginia and New Jersey, two states that Obama had won and that Democrats had led.
In a sign of the challenges 2010 would hold, independents who had carried Obama and Democrats to victory in back-to-back elections now swung behind Republicans. Obama's diverse coalition of voters didn't show up, but conservatives did.
Republicans proved they could win statewide races by hammering Democrats on spending, blaming Washington and castigating Obama's policies. Democrats countered, capturing a GOP-held congressional seat in New York after the Republican candidate picked by the party establishment dropped out under pressure from conservatives.
That House race was the initial shot of a civil war over purity that would rage within the GOP for the next year.
Republicans like Ed Gillespie quietly set in motion a plan to try to capitalize on voter anger, an effort that would end up being a $36 million television ad campaign by two affiliated outside groups aimed at defeating Democrats in the House and Senate. These GOP veterans sought to compensate for what critics called an ineffective Republican National Committee under Chairman Michael Steele.
"It's going to be a hard November for Democrats," Howard Dean, the former Democratic Party chairman, predicted as 2010 dawned. "Our base is demoralized ... Washington is just not in touch ... and Republicans are unified against Democrats the way we were against them when Bush was president."
Then, the unthinkable.
Republican Scott Brown staged an extraordinary upset to win the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts.
"We can't win them all," Obama said ruefully, and the loss of a single seat robbed Democrats of their 60-vote Senate majority.
But more than that, it emboldened Republicans and sent shudders through the ranks of the party in power.
Democrats sustained another blow when the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that corporations and unions could spend freely on advertisements advocating the victory or defeat of candidates at any point before elections. In its wake, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has spent $32 million on the midterms, most of it against Democrats
As winter gave way to spring, Democrats finally overcame the last, bitter Republican obstacle and dragged Obama's health care bill over the finish line.
It was a huge Obama victory, though Democrats worried about selling it to a divided public seemingly more concerned with jobs, the economy, budget deficits and climbing debt. Republicans tapped into the fury of Americans nationwide about how the bill was written.
"Can you say it was done openly, with transparency and accountability, without back-room deals and struck behind closed doors, hidden from the people? Hell, no you can't!" Boehner said that late March night in a rant on the House floor. "Have you read the bill? ... Hell, no you haven't!"
The White House popped champagne on the famous Truman Balcony, looking southward toward the Washington Monument. The staff celebrated the landmark legislation and stayed up well into the night celebrating.
Their jubilee would be short lived.
A month later, the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in the Gulf, gushing oil from the ocean floor and further deepening the public's surly mood. It took months to stop the leak. An Associated Press-GfK poll showed that Americans had become just as dissatisfied with Obama's work on the Gulf oil spill as they had been with George W. Bush's handing of Hurricane Katrina.
The primaries began, bearing bad tidings for incumbents in unexpected places.
Republican Sen. Bob Bennett was swept aside in Utah. In Florida, where Gov. Charlie Crist had once embraced Obama, Republicans abandoned him in droves, and he them, opting finally to run for the Senate as an independent.
Democrats gave Sen. Arlen Specter the boot in Pennsylvania and pushed Sen. Blanche Lincoln into a run-off in Arkansas.
Kentucky Republicans rejected another candidate hand-picked by party leaders, choosing tea party darling Rand Paul to be the state's GOP Senate nominee. And Nevada tea party supporters helped Sharron Angle topple a former state GOP chairwoman to challenge vulnerable Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Through summer and into fall, the economic doldrums persisted. A job-hungry public turned on Democrats. Obama's job performance rating was stuck under 50 percent nationally; it was lower in many states, limiting his campaign stops to urban areas in liberal states. Vice President Joe Biden and former President Bill Clinton went where he couldn't.
"Republicans are on offense and Democrats are running for cover," Boehner boasted. "The Democrats are running from their own record."
True enough.
Instead, they cast Republicans as agents of the bad old days.
"They're offering more of the past but on steroids," Biden complained, boldly predicting that voters would reject a "Republican tea party" of extreme candidates and return Democrats to power.

Re: London plans
Still not sure whether we're flying down from Edinburgh for a day trip or not. However, if we make a weekend of it then count me in for the gathering on Sat eve!

Re: London plans
Booked our flights on WOW from BWI, with one day planned layover in Reyjavik to visit their active geyser field. WOW's business class rate was $200 less that British Air's coach rate. (I hate fucking transatlantic flying in cramped aircraft, so the biz step-up of about $400 total for both of us over WOW coach should be well worth it).
Sorry to Tom Rose that we won't be able to visit Edinburgh and the Highlands -- our plans have been drastically reduced due to daughter-in-law's pregnancy due date of Sep 19th. Hope to meet you at one of Fells Point Raven's events.
Everything considered, going with Fells Point Raven's package and WOW is turning out to be reasonably priced for what should be a bountiful week's travel wrapped around a Ravens win.

Re: London plans
To all of you who are going to the game, I am officially jealous!
I only visited London once (1980 - stayed near Russell Square) and had a marvelous time, except we couldn't see the crown jewels because of renovation. Otherwise I luved a pint of bitter, the British Museum, and riding the Underground. Hope you all have a wonderful time in London and come back with a Ravens win... Bc
London plans
Needless to say I'll be in Baltimore again next season anyway!!!
I'm stoked for your new arrival though! Blessings to all

Re: London plans
From Sun interview with Dick Cass: in response to the question, "What preparations have you made for the team's London game against the Jaguars on Sept. 24?"
Last week, we had about 12 people from the Ravens go over to London. We've finalized a hotel, a practice facility over there. We've planned out how we're going to schedule the trip. On the marketing side and for our fans, we've identified a pub in downtown London that we're going to rent for most of the week. We've got some entertainment planned down there. We're going to have activities on Regent Street the Saturday before the game. We're expecting a lot of fans there. We've been getting a lot of phone calls. We were given a certain ticket allotment by the league and those tickets are all gone. Our sponsor, PrimeSport, has organized trips and they're sold out. We've been hearing from the league that the demand from Ravens' fans to come to London is among the highest that they've seen for any team."Leave. Your. Mark."
Re: London plans
For those yet to book, please be advised we have EIGHT spots left on the trip. These are eight seats (together) in a separate section to the rest of the group - directly above, upper level sideline. As a fan of the upper level myself (529 at M&T!) some people may appreciate this viewpoint. As they're not lowers with the rest of the group, I'm offering these remaining packages at a $50 discount per person - so $1149 double occupancy, etc. First come first served - email email@example.com
I've also had a few people mention things like seeing a Premier League match, visiting Abbey Road, etc while over. Feel free to shoot any questions like that over to me and glad to help!
Re: London plans
Booking our flights tomorrow morning. Just going to make a day trip of it for the game. 7.05 Edinburgh to Heathrow and then back up the road at 20.05. Should be in bed at a respectable time for a school night!

Re: London plans
I assume anyone who's going to this game is now already booked. If not, we do still have SIX spots left. See above for details and if interested I need to know ASAP. Such fine bastions of the forum such as MistaT and Ravenous52 will be joining our trip. Our Saturday night party is now finalised and we have the lower level of the official Ravens team pub - the Admiralty in Trafalgar Square - with about 100 or so UK and Irish Raven fans. Entry includes a complimentary pint, pie and chips dinner, Ravens games on the TVs and great company. We'll be there the same time as the cheerleaders, mascot, etc and the event is now sold out so only way of getting in at this point would be getting one of remaining packages above.
If you've already sorted your hotel and game tickets, we will be having a private London tour on Saturday as well as a tour of Windsor Castle on the Monday. There will also be a Friday night pub event and a Sunday morning pub event (picking up a theme here!). Should these be of interest please let me know - may be able to accommodate you on these.

Re: London plans
Sorry so late, FPR. You may not remember me, as I don't remember you- but I am a longlost Crow-Magnon & RSR-ist, absent all last season for a variety of reasons, none terribly pleasant.
As it happens I will be in Prague on game weekend & am seriously considering kipping over on Saturday & back late Sunday or early Monday. Clearly I won't need your total package, but could you (or anyone else) advise on how to check ticket availability & prices before I start haunting skyscanner.com & hotels.com for transport & lodging? I'm leaving for NYC on Monday morning & flying out of JFK Tuesday night, so time is of the essence unless I can make derangements electronically.
If I can't menage it, I'll spend that afternoon cheering on the purple&black at a sports bar ~100 m off Wenceslas Square in my colormatched regalia - but it'd be a damn shame to miss out if I can, no?
Any suggestions from anyone (beyond "get stuffed, loser")? Thanx in advance.Tutto dentro lo Stato, niente fuori lo Stato, niente contro lo Stato. (Benito Mussolini, 9.XII.1928)

If you are a bride looking to make an unforgettable entrance/exit – whether in church or register office – a professional singer can prove the perfect accompaniment, performing your chosen piece as you make your way gracefully to & from the altar or registrar.
All our singers are long-established professionals (and in some cases vocal coaches) whose voices will breathe new life into any given song. In some instances, a separate PA system may be required – e.g. inside a very large church or cathedral – however, the artistes' ability to project their vocals always guarantees to flood the venue with a beautiful sound!

STATE — Average retail gasoline prices in New Jersey have risen 5.1 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.30 per gallon yesterday. This compares with the national average that has increased 3.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.41 per gallon, according to gasoline price website NewJerseyGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in New Jersey during the past week, prices yesterday were 25.7 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 9.4 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 15.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 21.4 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
After a dramatic decline in gasoline prices in virtually every region in the past month, gasoline prices have started to rise," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "While I don't necessarily believe that the recent uptick in crude prices will stick, I also don't see prices falling considerably lower until after the conclusion of the summer driving season, when demand declines, and more expensive blends are phased out," DeHaan said.
GasBuddy operates NewJerseyGasPrices.com and over 250 similar websites that track gasoline prices at over 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada. In addition, GasBuddy offers a free smartphone app which has been downloaded over 20 million times to help motorists find gasoline prices in their area.

Tej Kohli Investor, Invest in payment innovation
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly at risk of losing money from their suppliers and customers by having an inefficient payments process. Furthermore, a survey by MasterCard found that over half (57 per cent) of international businesses admit to having actively delayed paying their suppliers in the past 12 months as a result of delayed incoming payments. Tej Kohli set up Grafix Softech because electronic payments are becoming increasingly common and inefficient payment processes are losing people money unnecessarily. Getting paid should be the easy part of running a successful business.

The SSI New Beginnings Festival is an initiative of Settlement Services International (SSI) and its Arts & Culture Program.
The SSI New Beginnings Festival brings together people from all ages and backgrounds to experience and celebrate the vibrant talents and cultural expressions of migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum.
Refugees are people who, through no fault of their own, have been forced to leave their homelands in search of safety. Through a series of annual events, the SSI New Beginnings Festival gives exiled artists and craftspeople an opportunity to showcase the diverse cultural and artistic contributions they make to their new homes through expressions such as dance, music, art and food.
The festival draws upon the rich cultural heritage and artistry found in new and emerging communities to encourage intercultural understanding and engagement. Ultimately, this celebration of hope, unity and new beginnings seeks to counter negative opinions about refugees and people seeking asylum, and to encourage people to celebrate the unique contributions they make to Australia.
The SSI New Beginnings Festival is a family friendly, all ages celebration. Everyone is welcome!
About SSI
SSI is a community-based, not-for-profit humanitarian organisation providing a range of services in the areas of refugee and migrant settlement, accommodation, asylum seeker assistance, multicultural foster care, disability support, employment services, and youth support in NSW.
