About EURL ECVAM
Vision & Mission
The aim of EURL ECVAM (the European Union Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing) is twofold:
- to promote the scientific and regulatory acceptance of non-animal tests which are of importance to biomedical sciences, through research, test development and validation and the establishment of a specialised database service
- to co-ordinate at the European level the independent evaluation of the relevance and reliability of tests for specific purposes, so that chemicals and products of various kinds, including medicines, vaccines, medical devices, cosmetics, household products and agricultural products, can be manufactured, transported and used more economically and more safely, whilst the current reliance on animal test procedures is progressively reduced.
EURL ECVAM is committed to support and serve:
- the European Commission, and thereby the EU Member States;
- the spirit and specific provisions of Directive 2010/EU/63; and
- the objectives of scientific validation and justifiable regulatory acceptance, and thereby the protection of man, animals and the environment.
EURL ECVAM is independent of:
- any particular tests or individual scientists or groups of scientists; and any commercial or financial interests.
- Nevertheless, EURL ECVAM openly has external consultants and collaborators, who are also committed to:
- enhancing the quality of scientific validation; and
- facilitating the regulatory acceptance of relevant and reliable non-animal tests and testing strategies.
EURL ECVAM is now firmly established as the leading international centre for coordinating the validation of alternative methods.
It is a source of expert advice on:
- theoretical and practical aspects of the validation of new tests;
- the current state of validation of alternative methods for use in toxicology and the biosciences in general;
- in vitro tests for topical toxicity, embryotoxicity, haematotoxicity, metabolism-mediated toxicity, metal toxicity, neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity; and
- general animal welfare issues (scientific and ethical), such as the use of transgenic animals.
Activities & Services
The key areas in which EURL ECVAM is active include:
- Topical Toxicity (e.g. local adverse effects on skin or eyes)
- Systemic Toxicity (which requires absorption of the toxicant within the blood and then distribution to the target organ(s) and system(s) which are the place of action (e.g. to the liver, kidneys or the blood-forming system, immune, nervous and reproductive system )
- Special Aspects (e.g. carcinogenicity, integrated testing, metals toxicity)
- Ecotoxicity and Strategic Activities which have relevance to all different kinds of toxicological studies.
EURL ECVAM also covers the topic area of Biologicals and biomaterials quality control and safety testing (e.g. vaccines, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, hormones, biocompatibility of medical devices) and in silico methods (e.g. Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships).
The European Commission will cooperate with the Member States when setting priorities for validation studies. The Member States will assist the European Commission in identifying and nominating suitable laboratories to carry out such validation studies.
More details are provided in the section Validation and regulatory acceptance.
EURL ECVAM provides technical support to the following Commission services:
- DG Environment: in relation to chemical products, to the Directive 2010/63/EU (Protection of animals used for scientific purposes) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (European Test Methods Regulation);
- DG Enterprise: in relation to chemical products, medicines, and vaccines;
- DG Health and Consumer Protection: in relation to the safety of cosmetics and the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS);

Customer Question
budgie: I have a 7 year old budgie who this morning has suddenly got grey watery droppings and is acting different. He is also flapping his wings (by side not open) quite quickly. I have tried to get a vet to see him but only open vets do not know much about birds, so much wait until tomorrow but I have covered up his cage and kept him warm as advised in bird books ( hospital cage). Is there anything I could do more or is there any advice you can give about illness?

Greetings, I am Dr. Pat. I have worked with birds for many years. I will do my best to help you.
I am sorry no other expert has taken your question. We all come online at different times, I have just logged in and saw that you have not been answered. I hope I can still be of assistance.
If you feel comfortable with it, examine the bird thoroughly, using gentle restraint via washcloth or hand towel: do not
restrict the chest or hold around the body. Check the eyes, nostrils, mouth and beak if possible, having a good look in there for mucus, redness, masses or anything else unusual. Palpate the tummy for pain, fluid, lumps or anything else (eggs, if female or unknown). Check all the joints for swelling, pain, and mobility. The feathers should be parted to view the skin, muscles and skeleton below; this can be done using a q-tip with isopropyl alcohol or KY gel. Look for bruising, lacerations, injured feathers.
Your job is to keep the bird warm, safe, quiet, and confined; and to provide adequate hydration and calories.
Move the bird to a box or carrier with soft towels in the bottom, no perch, and food and water in low bowls that can be reached easily. Put the whole thing on a heating pad on low or medium. Check it frequently, no overheating allowed! Keep the unit partially covered, warm and quiet. White paper towels or white cloth towels will show the true color of the droppings. Small animal/reptile boxes are great for this purpose.
The bird, bowls and unit must be kept very clean.
Here are some helpful links:
Emergency/Convalescent Housing
Veterinary info
Do not try to force food or water. Pedialyte or electrolyte replacer can help but many birds do not like them; when in doubt, plain warm water is best. They can hydrate from oral fluids almost as quickly as IV if the GI is functioning properly. You can offer warm cooked rice, pancakes, cornbread, grapes, melon, greens in addition to normal food.
Pet/feed store medications and home remedies are harmful, ineffective, immuno-suppressive, and make them much worse and may interfere with the veterinarian's diagnosis and treatment. Do not use them. Homeopathy and natureopathic techniques do not work in avians and can actually be very dangerous.
Check the website for the feed you give, there have been many recalls!
I know it is expensive, but you may not have many home options, because the first thing you need a vet for is to find out what is going on. Treatment is only as good as the diagnosis. If you call around, you may find a vet to work within your means.
I really must stress that you need a bird-experienced person, and not just a vet who advertises that they care for birds.
You need to take your bird to see an
avian-experienced veterinarian
ASAP for complete examination, diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Check
or call your regular vet and see who they recommend; ask if they really have worked with birds a lot. Unfortunately, this list does not rate competency or experience, but is only a starting place; the vets at least take the avian medicine journal and hopefully see a bird or two a year. The best referrals are word-of-mouth, so check with several non-bird vets, the humane society, parrot rescue groups, bird clubs, etc. for their input. As you might guess there may be controversy and varying opinions even with this. Even board-certified avian specialists may not have a lot of practical bird experience. Unfortunately there are few resources available to refer you to really good, clinically-experienced bird vets.
If this were my patient, and money no object, I would start with complete fecal analysis and direct smear,
stained with Sedi-stain and unstained for multiple parasites, fungi, spirals; direct smear
stained with Sedi-stain and unstained
of the oral cavity; bacterial culture and sensitivity of the feces and choana.
Depending on the case I might do a fungal culture. Routine blood work is necessary to rule out other issues. There are MANY DNA/RNA tests for bird diseases. Ultrasound is often more informative than radiographs and does not require anesthesia (ask your vet about this option). Generally I start them out on medications as
indicated by the tests
AAV recommended lab work
Your bird may need injectable fluids, calcium, antibiotics and many other medications. Act quickly and good luck.

After Duke's 52-13 win over Elon, head coach David Cutcliffe was asked one of those questions that's actually a statement.
The good news is that you didn't turn the ball over, the questioner said. The bad news is that you didn't force any turnovers.
"That was on my mind the whole game, the first half and second half," Cutcliffe said. "How can we force turnovers, what are we going to do to get this done."
"Winning the turnover battle" is a cliche key to victory repeated by coaches and pundits. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that consistently giving the ball away is not generally a recipe for success. But, when looking at the season as a whole and what's most important – winning games – how much impact do turnovers have?
SB Nation's Football Study Hall studied the relationship between turnover margin and winning percentage in college football from 2009-2012, running a linear regression model. The website found, in layman's terms, that turnovers "explained" just 37 percent of a team's win total – that obviously leaves a large percentage of what goes into winning unaccounted for.
College football analyst Phil Steele has long had a theory that the relationship between turnovers and wins involves more luck than skill. Teams that are especially fortunate or unfortunate in the turnover department rarely see a repeat of that fortune in the next year. Since 1991, teams that were plus 10 or better in turnover margin have only been able to improve on their win-loss record in the next season 24 percent of the time. The theory works in reverse, too – if a team was minus 10 or better in turnover margin, their record is only worse the next year 20 percent of the time.
The shaky relationship between success in the turnover department and winning extends to the ACC. In 2012, when Florida State won the league and the Orange Bowl, the Seminoles' turnover margin per game was minus 0.6. The league leaders? Wake Forest (which went 5-7) and Miami (7-5) at plus 0.6. Last year, FSU did lead the league with a plus 1.4 turnover margin per game – but Virginia Tech, which finished 8-5 and third in the Coastal Division, was second at plus 0.6. N.C. State, which went winless in league play, was plus 0.2.
Duke finished nearly even in turnover margin last year, taking the ball away 26 times while giving it away 25 times (with rounding, a 0.0 turnover margin per game).
Duke's defensive goal is, first and foremost, to limit explosive plays by the opposition – plays that gain large chunks of yards at once (typically runs that go for 12 or more yards and passes that go for 20 or more yards). The Blue Devils gave up three explosive runs – one came on the last series of the game – and just one explosive pass, which also came in the fourth quarter.
"When you're in a game like that, in my opinion, it's a first game, you feel like you have a team that should be better, you don't want to give up anything cheap," Duke defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said. "And it will work out if you play good, sound, fundamental football."
To create a turnover, a defender has to take a bigger risk – linemen have to try to strip the ball instead of wrapping a ballcarrier up, and defensive backs have to go more aggressively for the ball in the air, potentially leaving them out of position to make a tackle on a catch. Veterans are better suited to calculate when taking that risk is appropriate, Knowles said. Often, younger players are better off just focusing on fundamentals.
"Every play, you have that mindset of trying to make a play," sophomore cornerback Bryon Fields said. "But at the same time you have to be smart, and sometimes they're going to catch balls. Sometimes, you just have to worry about getting the guy to the ground."
Elon's quarterback, Mike Quinn, also didn't hold the ball long – Knowles said he was getting rid of the ball in an average of 2.2 seconds. Some of his throws were timed under 1.7 seconds.
"If you send all 11 guys and don't cover anybody, you won't get there in 1.7 seconds," Knowles said.
Knowles does put together film of tipped balls and overthrows to show the defense in meetings. He'll say, "That looks like a tip," or "That's an overthrow." And the defense will respond, "Gotta have those."
When asked about turnovers after the game, Cutcliffe also said, "It can be a way to beat people when you're outmatched." That sums it up perfectly.
Being lucky always helps.

Parting Shots
"An expert is one who knows more about less," Nicholas Murray Butler
Judging by the morning news stories, it seems apparent that the Washington area sniper has been captured and is now behind bars. His undoing? In an investigation manned by a thousand law enforcement officers doing the methodical and tedious criminal investigation work, we will no doubt find that there is no single bit of evidence which clinches the guilt of John Williams aka John Mohammed. However at this time there is one bit of evidence that has left some Americans scratching their heads: he apparently wanted $10 million transferred to a stolen credit card number. If true, this leads to another question:
If true, this only serves to prove the limits of expertise, and why, in the end, most criminals are destined to be caught.
The sniper was good at two things: shooting people from a distance and getting away. Eventually luck would have played a part in the preventing the latter. The almost complete lock-down of the DC area only moments after a shooting would have eventually netted him. Luck is an important part of escape, and luck eventually runs out.
As soon as the sniper moved beyond his expertise, he was in trouble. The police have access to countless experts in numerous fields; the sniper doesn't. Leave a note in the field? The police will use experts to determine where the paper and ink was purchased as well as those who can raise fingerprints that are left through gloves. Add to this handwriting experts, psychological profilers, and that single note becomes multiple clues pointing to the identity of the sniper. Call the police? The police have sophisticated electronics that can trace a call instantly (no more of that 30 seconds delay that was such a staple of the movies). Better yet they have access to speech experts who can tell which part of the world and possibly which profession he is in, audio experts who can pull ambient sounds from the background, as well as others that can provide leads.
All these experts will become apparent as the case is made public.
This does not mean that Mohammed made the task force's job easy; far from it. This case will no doubt be studied for years in criminology circles for what the police did right (Police Chief Moose's handling of the crisis) and what they did wrong (FBI mishandling of phone calls). Police Chief Moose stands out in particular for his cool head during the crisis, his marshalling of forces, and especially his ability to get the sniper communicating while at the same time doing his best to reassure a community near panic. The man deserves a special commendation and a better job.

Personal computing in the future: of mice and keyboards
We've all read about it at some point within the past year or two, what with the proliferation of tablets, Windows 8, etc.: "The PC is dead!" "DEATH to the mouse and keyboard!" "Anyone who prefers to use a mouse and keyboard on a PC that has anything less than the latest-and-greatest Windows 8 on it is an idiot who refuses to accept change!"
Well, contrary to what these pundits and proclaimers seem to be pushing for, the future of computing sans mouse and keyboard sounds like an empty prospect in many ways. Why do I say that? Read on, thou who dares to question questionable progress!

I do heavy technical documentation and software development. Trying to do that by voice and touch would be worse than stupid. It simply would not be sufficiently productive by a factor nearing a hundred.
For example, I once was required to write an embedded system software driver in assembly language using a KSR 33 teletype as my only IO device. The editor, the compiler, the source code, and the object code had to pass through a 15 bytes/sec paper tape interface for each cycle of the development. It took me a month to write, test, and validate a mere 100 byte portion (~10% of the estimated total). A functional driver was due to be mated with the rest of the software and hardware in three months. After demonstrating the inadequacy of a KSR 33 for the purpose, a high speed paper tape reader and punch was ordered and delivered. I completed the driver in less than two weeks afterward. Yes, this is ancient history (ca 1972). However, it demonstrates the necessity of using the right tools for the job.
There are things for which voice command and touch are absolutely wonderful but there are many other things for which they are not in the same ballpark let alone marginally useful. Hence, different people with different needs will require different combination of IO devices to be effective and productive. Up till now, that was the strength of MS Dos and Windows. You could pick and choose and generally make it work. Now, by decree from on high, we are to be restricted to a toy of a touch user interface and a very crippled keyboard-mouse interface - both of which I find visually and functionally offensive to the point of being not worth trying to use for any purpose.
In case you wish to accuse me of not trying it out, don't. I actually did try very hard. I spent a lot of time over abut a week trying to make it work for my technical writing and a 275K line software development project. I was even able to make it work sort of. If I had had a gun to my head, I might have been able to live with it for a short while before asking the trigger to be pulled. But why do it when Windows 7 does everything I want and need the way I want to do it? The Windows 8 system is no longer and never to return to my venue until Microsoft wakes up and starts serving its customer base as actual customers rather than as mindless captives without will or independent purpose.
From my perspective, I do not exist to serve Microsoft in any capacity. Microsoft is merely a source of paid for capabilities that fit MY purpose for a lower cost and effort than to develop the capabilities myself. Otherwise they are welcome to go down any path to hell they wish to follow.

Making things different is easy. Making the different thing valuable is difficult. Making that difference valuable enough to people to cause them to buy it is very difficult. To have that to happen frequently enough to satisfy the business needs of a mega corporation the size of Microsoft is way beyond vary difficult.
As for Windows 8, I think Microsoft took the easy way out and simply made changes for the sake of making a change. The excuse was they were after the world of touch devices. unfortunately, they lost touch (pun intended) with a huge user base happy with Windows XP and Windows 7. The unintended consequences will multiply from here on out. I predict the consequences will make the Vista debacle look like a dance in the park.

Win 7 Pro 64-bit 7601
I see computers re-branching back into the old home computer VS workstation paradigm. The home computer is basically a mutated Xbox with win 8, it can do limited things, but home users won't need more than that anyway. Like with tablets.
The workstation is what we have now as a computer, with keyboard and stuff, as seriously, a touchscreen is an ergonomic nightmare. You must keep it under your fingers while you sit in the right position AND it must stay at 1 meter from your face, high enough to not cause you to roll yourself up and cause future back aches.
That said, a touch-screen as a fully-customizable keyboard is going to rock if that isn't my main screen.

Hum well the thought of having to touch some dirty filthy screen that you wouldn't know who had been at it turns my stomach to be quite blunt.
At least with my own mouse and keyboard it's my one bacteria - the ones at work we regularly clean with medicated clothes as policy.
In any case I personally think those hand held pieces of rubbish are time wasters, proven to be dangerous when used driving, and are out of date before they hit the shops
As for being an idiot if indeed that is what he said I think Mr.Chapman being as I take it an educated man, shows an appalling lack of good manners and taste.

Tell that to the millions of pc gamers and see what their response is, mine included. You're nuts!! I don't want some touch screen which just makes everything more complicated and slows down progress because of all these unneeded hand gestures to move web pages or would I have to move my finger every were to shoot players in games. IMO if you have played shooters like on the ipad or itouch, it's not as actuate as you would be with a mouse. I can't imagine how gaming would be, I am already shivering just thinking about it. Though if you read the article, he talks about why keyboards and mice are here to stay and makes some valid points. Also who ever said people who don't like touch screen stuff as much as keys and mice and says they're here to stay is a idiot is ironic and I find it amusing to a extent. Funny what these so call future predictors that call out the extreme can come up with.

In a few years there will be 2 billion laptops and desktops in use around the world. Don't know why no one bothers to mention this. It will take a minimum of many decades, perhaps a century or more, to transfer the work human beings do on them to something else. Even then they won't be eliminated.

Cars and Trains haven't deprecated Horses and Bicycles. Some tasks are better performed with the former, some the latter -- apart from "non work related" ideas such as simple recreation -- what's wrong with Horse or Bicycle riding even (or especially) in 21 st cent.
Incidently most people can type much much faster than they can write - or enter via touch screens
Also most of these touch screens are designed for inputting normal "Latin" type QWERTY symbols.
What about entering a load Chinese text / other text that uses special characters outside the normal European "Latin" type typeset via a touch screen -- No thanks.
I tried a Chinese smart phone in Hong Kong -- now I know I'm no expert in ANY Chinese dialect but I knew enough basic Mandarin to throw this wretched phone into the muddy water at the bottom of the Victoria Harbour -- and nearly got fined for "Dropping Litter" !!!.
I'm sure native speakers get on all right with this stuff but for people doing any sort of translation a keyboard is still IMO 100% essential whether you are using a tablet or PC.

Flashback to an Epic New Year
As 2001 comes to a close, we begin a brand new journey into the unknown. Like many jambands.com readers, Ive been checking out the many reviews of all the great New Years Eve shows that happened across the country just a few weeks ago. New Years Eve shows and runs of shows have been very important to music fans for a long time because they provide that chance for something special. During New Years Eve shows anything can happen. Maybe the band will cover an entire album, maybe theyll dress up in strange costumes, maybe there will be fireworks, floats, confetti or some other colorful display. Years end is when a live musical act usually pulls a rabbit from their hat in attempt to astonish, amaze, and entertain the fans that have helped them so much along the way. During this time of reflection, I find myself thinking back to great New Years shows past. One of the craziest musical adventures I have ever been on was during the Phish New Years run of 1993-1994.
The four shows that made up Phishs annual New Years run were some of the most promising shows of the year. They offered a concentration of shows that promised a wide song selection, few repeats, and something special. Phish shows always offered the chance that one would see or hear something totally outlandish or special, but the New Years run of shows virtually guaranteed it. If you saw all four shows, you WOULD see something very special. Little did we know just how special this run of shows would be for us.
I met up with all my friends at my girlfriends house in Washington, D.C. Her parents just happened to live in the city that would host Phishs first show of the run. We all got there, but we definitely grumbled about the difficulty. There was a massive cold front that swept over the east coast just as we were to start our mini-tour. When we got to Bender Arena at American University, there was quite a bit of snow on the ground and the temperature was very cold. It couldnt have been more than twenty degrees outside. Suddenly, what we thought would be a great chance to grab awesome seats turned into a struggle to maintain warmth and a space in line simultaneously. The first show of the run offered up the semi-rare opportunity to see a general admission Phish show and we were psyched. All we had to do was hang out in line all day and we would secure great spots on the floor right up near the front.
The hours sure do drag on when your feet are numb! We waited outside the venue in the long line that wrapped around the building and through what seemed to be a little wind tunnel. The biting cold drove itself right through the thin leather that made up my sneakers and made short work of my thin cotton socks. I might as well have been standing there in bare feet. All of my friends were whining and complaining as the time slowly crawled by. At one point we took turns going into a little Mail Center where the woman working was nice enough to let a few kids in at a time to thaw out a little. At the end of the multiple hour wait, though, we were all close to delirious with coldness. By the time the line was moving it was more about getting inside than grabbing a good seat. We just wanted to be someplace warm!
As we got to the front of the line and were close to entering the venue we noticed a pretty serious bottle neck. Whats going on? we thought. Weve waited so long, whats the big hold up at the actual gate? We found out what was taking so long, alright! There were cops doing thorough searches of each and every person that came into the venue. We were then told that smoking was not allowed and that all cigarettes had to be thrown away or put in your car – they would not be permitted inside – and if you returned to your car, you had to go to the end of the line. Of course we were all stupid kids so we all smoked and a pack of cigarettes was not something we just threw away in those days. They were worth a lot of money, goddamnit! We were pretty pissed off as we tossed our smokes into the trash can that was overflowing with cigarette packs. It just really angered me that they couldnt have walked up and down the line to tell us this before we were just about to go inside. No one in their right mind was going to go to their car to put their smokes away after nearly freezing to death waiting in line for all those hours. This was not unusual, though, as Phish fans were seen as sub-human dirty college kids that didnt deserve the same rights as other, better conforming, people.
We tried to leave the bad vibes at the gate as we walked into the venue. We were buzzing with anticipation as to whether or not the band would bust out Peaches En Regalia in honor of Frank Zappas recent passing. When we turned the corner and could see the stage we gasped. The whole thing was decked out like a giant Phish Tank. The four corners of the tank were clearly marked on the four corners of the stage. There were various seaweeds and other giant colorful plant life springing up here and there from the surface of the stage. There was one of those little sunken treasure chests one usually finds in a home aquarium and giant clam in the middle of the stage. The top of the tank was marked and there were day glow painted fish hanging on wires from the lights and scaffolding. The little fish were set up so they could swim back and forth while the band played.
The show started off with Peaches En Regalia and we all felt very knowledgeable for having called the tune so easily. We patted ourselves on the back quite profusely. The rest of the show was solid, but certainly nothing spectacular. The most notable other song being the second set closer of the AC/DC cover Highway to Hell. Did the band know something we didnt know? Most of the time I felt like I was just trying to cope with the presence of this incredible Phish Tank stage setup that had everyone in attendance buzzing. As we filed out of the venue at the end of the show, we were very excited for the next three nights of music. The return of Peaches En Regalia and this crazy stage setup were tantalizing treats and we hoped that we were only now scratching the surface. The serious music and adventure lay just ahead.
We woke up tired and sore from our various sleeping spots on couches and floors. After some coffee, though, we felt refreshed and ready to embark on the longest driving segment of the tour. Upon making our way up and out of the basement that we had crashed in, we looked out the window to see the steady snow falling. There were already four to six inches on the ground, too. We knew that we had better get started on our trip right away, especially since it was almost 10:00am already. We had about a six hour drive in front of us if it were a sunny day with no traffic.which it wasnt. After fielding the requisite objections from my girlfriends mom about driving so far in the dangerous and snowy conditions just to see a couple concerts, we headed out.
Things didnt start well as we headed in the wrong direction in the confusingly snowbound city of D.C. When we finally figured out that we were going the wrong way, we had already added another forty minutes to the trip. By the time we got onto the highway it was pretty close to 11:30am. I felt bad for the carload of our friends that followed. Our car was supposed to know the way and here we were adding extra time to the trip. That was a long hard drive. The snow did taper off in between D.C. and New York City, but bad decisions were made which hurled us into some bad luck.
Somewhere along the way at some random convenience plaza, a counsel was held to determine the quickest route to New Haven. Some argued that going around the city would be the best route. This was countered by the argument that we may get lost in the multiple highway changes necessary to complete this little known route. In our stony, right on, simple view, we hastily decided that we should take the most direct route. We decided to drive right through New York City.
Dude. What a mistake. I thought I had seen traffic before. Ha! We hit the City right around 4pm as the snow storm rolled in. There were cars creeping, there were cars flying by in the shoulder. Traffic sped up then abruptly slowed down. Some cars slid lightly as the snow began to accumulate. At one point we looked over to the side of the six lane highway to see our friends parked with their hood open as they inspected their broken down car. We felt helpless as we tried to get over there in time to stop and help them out, but the many lanes, chaotic traffic, and bad weather made it impossible. By the time we could have pulled to the side there was no more shoulder We hoped for the best for them, but had to continue North if we wanted to make the show.
We later found out that one of the hoses in their car had ruptured. In a valiant effort, they had bound the hole initially with a tube sock and a rubber band, not glue and rubber bands. This was eventually replaced with a tin can and duct tape. It held together just long enough to get the car to the show and then to Worcester, where we had our apartment at college. I think Icculus must have been looking down on them and helped out just a little bit.
The traffic was slow and thick all the way to the New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Our trip had been a very long and stressful one, so there was much elation as we spied the venue off to our right. All we had to do was get off at the next exit and wed be there, we thought. Thats not quite how it worked, however. As soon as we saw the venue we thought that we would be there in mere minutes and decided to celebrate by ingesting a hit or two of mescaline each. In retrospect, that might have been a mistake.
It took us another hour and a half to get to the actual venue. Everyone was apparently delayed by the weather and we were all arriving at the same time..late. We finally parked on the top level of the parking garage at about the scheduled show time. Next was the hustle down to the will-call line. When we got to the will-call area we saw that there were only two windows open. Since everyone got there at the same time and the show was just about to start, the scene was charged, to say the least. It was basically a mob scene as people struggled to get their tickets and make it inside before the start of the show. There was no real line, just a throbbing mass of waving, yelling, anxious people. They were packed in tightly and all squirming to get to the window. We sent my girlfriend into the foray since she was the smallest and could weasel into the cracks while using her gentle feminine wiles to get to the front of the line quickly and secure our tickets.
Keep in mind that the mescaline had kicked in full force by now. I spotted my girlfriends bugging eyes peaking out behind someones shoulder and she looked pretty tweaked. I cant imagine being in that mass of people under those circumstances. She had to deal with it all and then talk to the ticket lady. Yikes.
When she finally emerged with tickets in hand, she was visibly shaken from the experience. We all thanked her as we walked into the venue and then heard that the band had already started the first song of the set, Runaway Jim. I was so parched that I needed something to drink. It was very difficult dealing with people while the mescaline was taking hold of my brain. I labored to get the two singles from my pocket up onto the bright red counter. The colors were very vibrant everywhere and the intimidating woman who was helping me seemed to look though me. She slid my change, two quarters, across the deep red counter and they turned into two smeared silver lines. I gawked for a second and then slid the two quarters around a little more to watch the trails. Then I finally grabbed my Coke. Thanks, I said as I smiled strangely and walked back to my friends.
We enjoyed the second consecutive performance of Peaches En Regalia after missing almost all of the first tune. The rest of the first set was very average. The second set, however, brought some pretty sick stuff. An intensely jammed Maze opened the set and established a dark and ominous tone. The band then worked the set into something big with Fluffhead, Antelope, Contact, BBFCFM>Walk Away. After that Fishman talked about his haircut and sang If I Only Had a Brain from The Wizard of Oz. The set was definitely a twisted affair that left us reeling and still zooming pretty hard on mescaline as it ended. Now for the next leg of the journey- A two and a half hour drive to Worcester and our warm safe apartment. Unfortunately, the drive from New Haven to Worcester never seemed so far.
We trudged back to our car, along with the rest of the cattle being led out, then made our way up the stairs and finally got to the very top floor of the garage where we had parked our car. We were greeted by whiteness. Not flurries, not light snow, these were white out conditions. Serious snow. As college schlubs, we didnt have any money or credit cards, either, so staying at a motel in New Haven never even crossed our feeble minds. As we sat in our car for a few minutes, it became apparent that we werent going to be going anywhere for quite some time. I walked down the stairs a few floors and saw that the entire parking garage was in a state of confusion. A bunch of kids with heads full of psychedelics trying to drive out of a garage into a blizzard at night is not a very organized thing.
We hung out and tried to play it cool. Puffing a bowl with a neighbor or talking about the show with a friend. I made the rounds to check on the traffic flow progress and returned regularly to warm up in the car and listen to tunes. All the while the snow fell and fell. There was at least a foot of new snow on the ground by the end of the show and now we had been waiting for another hour or two. It was getting very deep and things started to seem hopeless. How would we ever be able make it safely to Worcester in this weather at this time of night? Our discussions turned to the danger involved in being on the roads in conditions like these. Just then we noticed that we were in line behind a hearse. The driver had just opened his door and gotten out. He was all bundled up in a hat, scarf, and a coat as he trudged his way through the snow and winds to the back of his hearse, a grimace on his face. He seemed to be writing something in the snow on the window with his gloved finger. As he walked slowly back to the drivers seat of his dark vehicle, we saw that he had plainly written Death. Nope, things werent looking so good.
Just as almost all hope had slipped away, the traffic began to move. As we descended we discovered what part of the hold up had been. The only way out of the garage was to drive down what we lovingly dubbed the spiral of death. It was a very tight spiral exit ramp that had a steep grade. It was outside, however, so it was packed with snow and ice making it very treacherous. We skidded and slid all the way down barely missing slamming into the concrete sides several times. When we finally drove out onto the streets of New Haven, we could see that much more than a foot of snow had fallen since we arrived there so long ago. It was 1:00am and we had a long way to go.
The drive north was a psychedelic terror filled blur, for the most part. I remember stopping to get gas and barely being able to drive in and out of the gas station without getting stuck in the snow. Once back on the road, the highways had about a foot of compacted snow on them and absolutely no traction. I was veering widely back and forth across the whole road as there were no visible lines to guide us. If another car came up from behind or we approached another car we just moved to one side to let the other pass. I had thoughts about how it would be hard to stay warm after we crashed into the woods on the side of the road, which I had determined was pretty much a sure thing. It was painstakingly slow and scary work, and I was the lucky Cowboy Neal at the wheel the entire way.
Suddenly I saw something bizarre up ahead. There were rows of yellow and red blinking lights that covered the entire space of the road. Was this a spaceship? Whatever it was it was big! The entire road was covered by these blinking yellow and red lights. I quickly alerted all the passengers in the back since I had a sleeper next to me (yes, somehow the guy in the passenger seat slept through all of this!). Everyone exclaimed at how strange and bizarre the lights and presence of this unknown entity were. What the hell was going on? Were we in the Twilight Zone? No, it seems we were all just still firmly planted in the mescaline zone. We eventually recognized that we were slowly approaching a line of plows and salt trucks that were attempting to clean the roads. They were lined up in a long row and had bright flashing safety lights mounted on their vehicles.
Around 4:30am we rolled into Worcester. The snow had finally stopped and we could see the hefty accumulations on the roads. As we approached my apartment, we saw that the plows had been by and had worked up a three or four foot mound of crusty snow in front of our driveway. Obviously we were exhausted, so I decided to pick up some speed and just ram my car as far through the pile of snow and into our driveway as we could and then deal with it all later. It worked well enough as the end of the car was now just barely completely off the street and sitting safely in our driveway. I welled up with tears in the wake of such a harrowing experience and also with the sheer joy of having made it alive and relatively unscathed. I walked upstairs to my room and kissed the floor. Then we all crashed out in an attempt to rally some energy for the drive up to Portland, ME. We had to go in just a few short hours.
There isnt much to say about the two hour drive up to Maine. It went by quickly, although we were all pretty tired. There was no snow at all and the sun was shining brightly as we began the short trip. When we got to Portland it was cold. Very, very cold. It made the cold we had dealt with for hours while in D.C. seem warm in comparison. After literally chilling out in line, we marched into the Civic Arena and grabbed a seat above the floor. The seats we found were perfect. We were up on the side pretty close to Fishman and from our vantage point we thoroughly enjoyed what some people believe to be one of the best shows ever performed. The Phish Tank stage setup was there yet again as a backdrop for a nearly flawless show that included a ripping David Bowie first set opener, a classic Col. Forbin, and a killer second set with tunes like McGrupp, Punch You in the Eye, and Slave. If you dont have a copy of this epic show, try to get your hands on one. There are some nice soundboards of it out there.
I have no memory of our return, but the final night of the run was happening at our home base of Worcester, MA and we were totally psyched. We had all scored tickets in either the first or second row by skipping classes to wait in line and get bracelets. I had stashed away an eighth of mushrooms that I had promised a friend I would split with him. We had enjoyed quite an adventure already and it was all culminating in our own town. This provided us with the convenient opportunity to rage and party in our apartment with lots of friends before and after the show. We had friends and friends of friends staying with us. My sister was there and some people I vaguely recognized from tour. There were also some old acquaintances from high school there. It was just a crazy scene with lots of random folks. We started partying early and someone cracked open some homebrew stout which sprayed all over the wall. No one seemed to mind, however, and everyone just kept on with the imbibing and wackiness. We were truly having a great time!
When it was finally time to go to the show, I quickly ingested my half of the mushrooms since I knew I had given the other half to my friend already. It turns out that I only thought I had given him his half and, in fact, that I had taken the entire bag myself. It was looking like I would be having another crazy evening. There was a weird feeling from the start because I knew that I had taken quite a lot. I also felt badly that I had promised my friend half and then accidentally taken them all, leaving him with nothing.
We struggled into the venue after a wait that took much too long and came in about half way through the first set. By the time we got to our seats directly in front of Fishman in the second row, things were getting pretty crazy for me. The waves of freaky feelings were lapping over me in cooperation with the intense and extremely loud music. We were only a few feet from some of the speakers and were getting insanely loud sound. The I Didnt Know in the first set felt like it was sung for me specifically as I felt that far gone and then some on this night. They ended up the set with Antelope and I got pretty lost in the sick jam. During the second set things became a struggle for me. I felt as if my sanity was slipping away with each new song the band delved into. When the set ended up with the crazy vocal jam that punctuates You Enjoy Myself, I was pretty wigged out.
Thats when the band took it up a notch on the bizarre scale. Trey said that they would be back and that he hoped we would be back when they returned. Then the band all put on scuba suits which seemed strangely fitting since they were performing from inside a giant aquarium. Then the speakers started pulsing out repetitive low sounds that swelled slowly and built up more and more. From my space on the floor in the second row, I could see the band members in their scuba gear climbing up through the scaffolding and eventually climbing up to the rafters and ceiling of the building. I thought I was losing all my shit. Was Phish really climbing around the ceiling of the Centrum in scuba suits?? The pulsing bass over the speakers intensified my amazement and confusion. What the Hell was happening? I felt like I might pass out when my girlfriend returned with a refreshing beverage. Then I could hear the band talking as they slowly descended from the ceiling. There was a splashing sound as they were lowered back into the giant Phish Tank stage setup. The giant clam began to smoke and light poured out the edges of its mouth as it began the countdown. It opened up at the stroke of the New Year and shot confetti all over the place. Giant smoke-filled balloons fell down from the ceiling and people swung them around and tried to pop them. As the balloons popped, trippy slivers of smoke hung and oozed in the air for a few seconds.
The next thing I knew the band had started a sick little jam that I would later learn was the instrumental section to the tune Down With Disease. It rocked and everyone in attendance was cheering and bouncing with energy after the release of tension the band had just built up with their mind-fucking trick. The band had body doubles that did the actual climbing in the rafters, but I was totally fooled at the time. A guy dressed up as Frank Zappa came out on stage and ran around which seemed very fitting considering the Peaches theme that ran through this little tour. The third set was solid but not spectacular and we all winced at the Golgi encore. We were hoping for an encore with a little more substance and we all kind of groaned as the opening chord rang out. Page laughed at our reaction and you can hear it on the tape.
When the dust settled we found ourselves back at our apartment that was now even more packed with people. Friends of friends had invited new friends they had just met to stay and party with us through the night. People were sleeping on every inch of floor space by the time the morning came around. When it was all over I knew I had just experienced one of the best times of my life. New Years Eve is always a special time, but this youthful adventure will always stick out in my mind. Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul, indeed!

Top 10 roundup
No. 1 Franklin & Marshall rallies in win; No. 4 William Smith upset
No. 1 Franklin & Marshall 2, Muhlenburg 1
ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- A pair of scores in the second half erased an early deficit in the opening frame as Franklin & Marshall edged out Muhlenberg 2-1 on Friday evening in Centennial Conference (CC) play. The victory improved the Diplomats to 11-1, 6-0 CC on the season, while the Mules fell to 4-7, 3-3 CC.
The conference win marks the 29th consecutive CC regular-season victory for F&M, the second-longest streak in conference history behind only a 44-game stretch courtesy of Ursinus from 2003-07.
F&M was forced to play from behind after Muhlenberg took the 1-0 lead in the 30th minute when a deflected shot off a penalty corner found its way into the back of the cage.
Unable to light the scoreboard after 35 minutes of play, the Diplomats found success in the early going of the second when Katie Cecere scored the equalizer just six minutes into the frame.
Cecere tallied her ninth of the season when she tipped in a Juliet Dalton offering to make the score 1-1. Eleven minutes later, Lauren Eastman found space in front of the cage and tipped in a Cecere shot for her fourth goal of the year to put F&M out in front at 2-1.
Stingy defense allowed only two shots for the remainder of the contest as the Diplomats hung on for the victory. Avery Koep (11-1) earned the win after registering three saves on the evening.
No. 2 Montclair State 2, No. TCNJ 1
Montclair, N.J. -- Freshman Arielle Galgano and senior Stephanie Lewiseach scored a goal as Montclair State knocked off TCNJ 2-1 at Sprague Field on Friday evening.
The Red Hawks (12-1, 3-1 NJAC) won their second consecutive as they defeated the Lions for the second consecutive year. It is the first time that MSU has recorded back-to-back wins against TCNJ since the 1979 and '80 campaigns.
No. 16 Rochester 3, No. 4 William Smith 1
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Rochester turned the tables on William Smith earning a key 3-1 Liberty League victory on Friday evening.
The win was just Rochester's second against the Herons in the previous 30 games between the schools, the other coming in 2009 also at UR's Fauver Stadium. William Smith holds a 34-6-1 edge in the all-time series.
Rochester moves to 4-0 in the Liberty League (11-2 overall) for the first time in program history while William Smith suffers its first loss on the season (10-1, 3-1 Liberty League).
Rochester's victory exacts some revenge from last year when the Herons defeated the Yellowjackets twice, once coming the the Liberty League championship game.
Freshman Callie Fisher was able to strike early for the Yellowjackets, scoring just 55 seconds into the contest when she scooped in a loose ball in front past Heron goalkeeper Amy Feda.
Rochester would then double the lead with 14 minutes remaining in the half when junior Gina Cunningham settled a hard shot from Lindsey Randall right in front of the Heron goal. She was then able to push her shot just to the left of Feda for a 2-0 Yellowjacket lead.
The Herons would then get on the board with a little more than seven minutes left in the half. It was William Smith's Alessandra Patrizio who tipped in a shot from the point from teammate Margaret McConnell, cutting the UR lead to 2-1.
Rochester finally was able to break through at 43:23 when Michelle Relin was able to get free in the center of the circle and fire a hard eight-yard shot past Feda for a 3-1 lead.
Starting keeper Madison Wagner and Lamberti each made five saves in the Rochester cage with Wagner picking up the win.

Wayne Gretzky's 22-year-old daughter shut down her Twitter account, and some are wondering if she did so because the Great One wasn't pleased with the racy self-portraits that his daughter frequently posted.
Paulina Gretzky, the eldest of five children, is an aspiring musician/actor/model still waiting for a career in any of those fields to take off. But she has achieved a certain sort of fame: she's a Twitter legend.
Last month, Coed Magazine was smitten enough to post her 77 sexiest Twitpics. Earlier this month theChive.com posted a gallery of Paulina's Twitter pictures under the headline "Paulina Gretzky is using the Twitter machine properly."
There are pictures of Paulina lying in bed in her underwear, of Paulina out partying in a skimpy black dress, of her in various low-cut tops, and a variety of other images sure to make a dad's head explode.
But no more. Her Twitter account was deleted over the weekend, to the dismay of her besotted followers.
No one has confirmed that Wayne was behind the decision to shut down Paulina's Twitter account, but one of Paulina's tweets shortly before her account was closed seems to support that conclusion: "Having a nice sit down dinner with my dad about social media..haha #SIKEEE."
For the sake of argument, let's suppose the account was shuttered because Mr. Gretzky objected. Is it fair that he gets to interfere with his daughter's life even though she's 22 and therefore an adult?Report Typo/Error
