NCCN recently received a $2 million research grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to gain further insight into the use of the investigational compound Afatinib (BIBW 2992) in solid tumors. Investigators from NCCN Member Institutions are eligible to apply for the research funding.
FORT WASHINGTON, PA — The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Oncology Research Program (ORP) has been awarded a $2 million grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to develop a program to scientifically evaluate and define the clinical effectiveness of Afatinib (BIBW 2992) in solid tumors, including breast, head and neck, and non-small cell lung (NSCL) cancers.
We are excited and grateful to Boehringer Ingelheim for the opportunity to collaborate on research for Afatinib. This research grant will support innovative studies to help scientists and clinicians find new directions to advance the field of oncology. Our collaboration will provide a forum for the open exchange of information to better define the clinical application for the use of Afatinib in a variety of cancer types, stated Diane Paul, MS, RN, vice president, ORP, NCCN.
The first phase of the program will involve the establishment of an NCCN Afatinib Request for Proposals Development Team to evaluate existing data and to discuss and define the data and type of studies necessary to further characterize the clinical effectiveness of Afatinib in selected solid tumors.
Afatinib is an oral, once-daily, targeted investigational compound currently being investigated for various tumor types, such as NSCL, breast, head and neck, and colorectal cancers and glioblastoma. It is a next generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is an irreversible inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Afatinib is currently in Phase III clinical development for NSCL and breast cancers.
The NCCN ORP draws on the expertise of investigators at NCCN Member Institutions to facilitate all phases of clinical research. This research is made possible by collaborations with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in order to advance therapeutic options for patients with cancer. The NCCN ORP will utilize the grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to support investigator-initiated clinical and correlative studies at its NCCN Member Institutions for Afatinib. To date, this successful research model has received more than $34 million in research grants and provided 86 investigators with funding for clinical and correlative trials that have produced numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®), a not-for-profit alliance of 27 leading cancer centers, is dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cancer. Through the leadership and expertise of clinical professionals at NCCN Member Institutions, NCCN develops resources that present valuable information to the numerous stakeholders in the health care delivery system. As the arbiter of high-quality cancer care, NCCN promotes the importance of continuous quality improvement and recognizes the significance of creating clinical practice guidelines appropriate for use by patients, clinicians, and other health care decision-makers. The primary goal of all NCCN initiatives is to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of oncology practice so patients can live better lives. For more information, visit NCCN.org.

MP Chris Davies could face fraud probe over expenses claim
Police could investigate an MP for fraud over a expenses claim he submitted in 2016.
Chris Davies, who represents Brecon and Radnorshire, said he made "an honest mistake" by claiming for furniture and pictures for his constituency office.
A complaint was made to the Conservative Party in March and was passed to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
Mr Davies said he had repaid £450 after being asked to do so by IPSA.
'Clear my name'
The Metropolitan Police said IPSA – which oversees MPs' expenses – made a referral on 4 April "in relation to an allegation of fraudulent expense claims submitted by an individual".
A spokesman said the matter was "currently subject to an assessment by officers from the Met's Special Enquiry Team".
Mr Davies, who was first elected to Parliament in 2015, attributed the claim to "my inexperience of the IPSA code" and insisted he had never claimed for something he was not entitled to.
He accepted he manually created two invoices in a claim for expenses which he should have entered online, but insists the information had been in the public domain for two years.
"I've apologised for getting the code wrong. I've done nothing wrong whatsoever and I want to clear my name and deal with this," he said.
IPSA said it was "made aware of this issue at the end of March 2018 and we have taken appropriate action, including the recovery of funds".
Mr Davies said he only became aware of the police's involvement when contacted by the Mail on Sunday newspaper on Saturday, but said he would "happily explain the situation to the police".

Oh, poor Alexander Skarsgard. The actor plays one of the leading men, Eric Northman, on the HBO hit drama True Blood. Eric is a vampire who was once a Viking, and now Skarsgard is in talks to play the lead in an upcoming movie as... yep, a Viking. Typecasting to the max! The film is to be called The Vanguard.
Variety broke the story, reporting that Atlas Entertainment have successfully pitched the Viking pic to Warner Bros. Skarsgard is not only leading the way of the casting ensemble, but is also set to produce the picture – a first for the actor. The film will revolve around two Viking brothers who have been banished from their native Sweden; they plot to make a return to their homeland from their exile in North America.
As for the production, Charles Roven and Richard Suckle will take the helm at Atlas Entertainment. Chris Boal, a playwright, will be penning the script to The Vanguard, a man whom the studio has had some interest in with the recent acquisition of his pitch for a film on Julius Caesar.

I'm applying to study in Costa Rica during Spring Break next year. The application asks a number of questions, among them the following:
The nature of study abroad programs often entails unexpected changes in schedules and activities as well as changes due to unfamiliar cultural norms. As such, an individual studying abroad should possess patience, the ability to be flexible, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Thinking about patience, flexibility, and adaptability, describe an example in your life where you demonstrated these qualities and discuss how it might relate to your experience abroad.
I'm sure they were looking for something short and sweet. I wrote this. Then, of course, I forgot to finish the application and the deadline closed and I was all upset, and then, glory of glories, yesterday I got an email that they'd extended the application. Yaay! So now I can apply and maybe have an awesome time in Costa Rica next March. Anyway. I reread this little ditty and it reminded me of a very wonderful trip I took long ago. I thought it was a charming enough story, so here it is:
I was visiting Carnac, France, and had spent an afternoon walking amongst the stones, and was due to catch a bus back to the train station in Auray, about 20 km up the road. I stood at the stop where I had gotten off the bus that morning...but of course the bus was northbound, now, and thus on the other side of the road, and though there was no bus stop sign over there the bus did not stop for me. It didn't stop at all, in fact, just drove on by, since no one was waiting by the road. This could be a serious problem; I had very limited French language skills, no personal contacts at all, and no idea how I was supposed to get where I was going--I was expecting to spend the night in the Quimper, a two-hour train ride away. What to do?
I hadn't been by the center of town, but I assumed there might be a tourist information center, so I started walking. I walked back through the standing stones and around the north side of town, because I had no idea which direction to go. Finally I saw a street sign indicating the center of town, and I headed that way. On my way I passed by a sign in someone's front yard: taxi. I didn't stop. I went into town and saw the museum dedicated to the stones (closed, as it was an off-season weekday), and the tourist bureau, which was also closed. The sign said it would re-open in a couple of hours, but by that time my train was going to have left. I was starting to think I needed to find a place to stay the night, and then I remembered the taxi sign.
I walked back up the road. I didn't speak French and didn't know this person and couldn't have been farther outside my comfort zone, but I knocked on the front door. In halting French I explained that I missed my bus and needed a ride to the train in Auray. I'm sure it came out like "no bus I was missing Auray train station. Please." The gentleman looked at me, then put up a finger, telling me to wait. He reappeared after a moment with a young girl, maybe 12 years old. "English?" she said. I explained what had happened. Then I stopped myself and explained it again more slowly. She smiled and translated for us. Her father would take me, it would be 40 francs (this was in the pre-Euro days, when a franc was worth about 1/7 of a dollar), but he would need two minutes. Then he disappeared. His daughter stood in the doorway and looked at me. "Did you lose your way?" she asked. I smiled nervously. "I just didn't make it to the bus on time." "I won't be able to ride to Auray with you," she said, and then disappeared, leaving me standing at an open front door. Was I supposed to go in? Stay out? Close the door either way?
Soon enough her father reappeared and with a great deal of gesturing and smiling pointed me toward the car, which said TAXI on it in foot-high letters; evidently, assuming that anyone who doesn't speak your language is a bit slow is a trait that crosses cultural barriers. We got in; he said grandly "Le gare d'Auray!" with a fluttering hand motion like a plane taking off, and we departed. He talked much of the way, and eventually I started trying to respond, with gestures and flourishes mostly. He would repeat things if I didn't seem to understand, and I would respond in English, and he would look at me instead of the road and really examine me like he would find the meaning of the words written on my face. Then he'd look back at the road, swerve suddenly to avoid whatever was in the way (something always was), and laugh uproariously. It was without question the best cab ride I've ever had. I still don't know what we talked about, but we made great sport of the traffic and agreed that McDonald's (McDo) is not so good. We made it to Auray with about 10 minutes to spare; I gave the man 100 francs and we were each on our separate ways.
So, what is the point of this whole story? Only this: keep an open mind and be willing to do uncomfortable things. Travel requires as much.

Video-on-Demand, Pan-Asian Stars and IP Dominate Busan Film Festival
- Photo: Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon – an internet-evolved hit.
- Photo: Tencent Animation: Supporting creators in China.

- Photo: The BIFF 2015: One of Asia's leading film events.
A subdued Busan International Film Festival nevertheless brought to the fore many of the issues facing the industry, including acquiring original source material, fending off Netflix and casting actors with a truly pan-Asian appeal.
According to a number of attendees, this year's Asian Film Market at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) was unusually quiet. Despite this, it still managed to address two of the major issues currently facing Asian content producers – the acquisition of source material to turn into films and TV shows and uncovering acting talent that travels well.
Source material – ideally with a built-in fanbase is the Holy Grail of the film and TV industries. If a novel, comic book or video game already has a loyal following, it's far less of a risk to turn it into a movie or TV show than to work with writers on an entirely original project.
The Asian Film Market's first-ever Entertainment-Intellectual Property (E-IP) Market played host to a number of seminars focussing on just how to successfully, and legally, adapt IP into different languages and across different distribution platforms. It also presented 10 original Korean works – ranging from unproduced scripts to web cartoons and dramas – to potential buyers. An impressive array of companies took part in the pitch process, including China's Alibaba Pictures, Huayi Brothers and Huace Media, along with Korea's Showbox and Opus Pictures.
The event even resulted in an early deal when Beijing-based Alpha Transmedia acquired the rights to The Cravings, a web drama originally produced by Korea's Kirin Productions. Alpha and Kirin now plan to jointly produce a Chinese version of the series.
One of the major themes of the event was the impact the internet is having on IP-related issues. Many movies in China, notably last year's hit Old Boys: The Way Of The Dragon, start life as 'micro-films' uploaded by internet users, while internet novels are also regularly adapted for film and TV. Increasingly, user comments and other forms of online feedback are used to refine the scripts of feature-length versions.
Highlighting the changes this has wrought on the creative process, Jay Choi, Chief Executive of Local Productions for Warner Bros Korea, said: "The barriers between creators and users are crumbling in the internet era. You can now have an internet drama that is created by professional staff, but millions of people can also watch it and give feedback. They can even get involved in the creative process. The internet has resulted in a new era of imagination for the audience."
According to Choi, while the internet makes it easier to steal content, it has also made it much easier to pay for content. Just as we no longer have to visit a book store to buy a book, we no longer have to go to the cinema to watch a film. Jeong Taesung, Chief Executive of CJ E&M, a Korean studio, sees internet payments as giving heavily populated countries, notably China and India, a distinct advantage. He said: "You can charge a very small amount per word or unit but, with a billion customers, companies like Tencent can potentially earn huge revenues."
Tencent, the Shenzhen-based internet giant, has grown into a US$150 billion digital titan, at least partly on the back of micro-payments for online novels, animation and video games. Speaking at one of the IP seminars, Edward Cheng, Tencent's Vice-president, said: "The US and Japan used to rule the world when it came to animation, but now China is creating more of its own IP.
"In 2012, we launched Tencent Animation. Rather than just import famous works, we started to support animation creators in China and now we are the biggest copyright owner of comic books there. We are currently mining this treasure trove with a view to turning many of them into films."
Over at Busan's Asian Casting Market, meanwhile, the other big issue facing producers attempting to make films that can travel outside of their home market was being addressed – how to find bilingual acting talent with pan-Asian appeal? Overall, language skills are becoming ever more important, a consequence of the growth in China-Korea co-productions, as well as the Japanese film industry's hesitant attempts to become more international.
As part of a way of remedying this, the market presented six actors and actresses, all of whom were bilingual or deemed to have the potential to work outside their home market – Taiwan's Mark Chao and Sandrine Pinna, Japan's Satoh Takeru and Nagasawa Masami and Korea's Kim Woo-bin and Kim Go-eun.
Welcoming the initiative, Choi said: "The good thing about the Asian Casting Market was that it gave us the opportunity to make casting offers on the spot to actors that are difficult to cast in our home countries. We could also discover each actor's strengths, in addition to the general information that is widely available."
Thanks to the strength of Korea's TV dramas, Korean acting talent is now popular all across Asia. Actors such as Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Minho are the good-looking, carefully groomed products of an industry that has a clear-cut strategy for creating strong content and exporting it across the rest of the continent.
While China and Japan also have stars, their huge domestic markets have also rendered them less proactive when it comes to exporting such icons. In terms of Hong Kong, its pan-Asian stars, such as Andy Lau, Chow Yun Fat and Aaron Kwok, still have box office clout, but don't appeal to the younger demographic, while the industry seems to be struggling to attract newcomers.
There were signs in Busan, however, that mainland companies are now becoming more aggressive when it comes to working with and developing pan-Asian talent. Beijing-based Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang, a leading Chinese filmmaker, recently teamed up with Korean director Kang Je-gyu to co-produce Sun Hao's Bad Guys Always Die (starring Chen Bolin, a Taiwanese actor, and Son Ye-jin, a Korean actress). In a similar move, China's Alibaba Pictures is investing in Real, a Korean action film starring Kim Soo-hyun.
Heyi Pictures, the film production arm of Chinese streaming giant Youku Tudou, also invested in Bad Guys Always Die, with the movie premiering at BIFF. Youku has also teamed with BIFF to produce two collections of short films. The first focussed on the work of Asian master directors, including Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Thailand), Wang Xiaoshuai (China), Im Sang-soo (Korea) and Naomi Kawase (Japan). By contrast, the second collection had more of a focus on Asian newcomers.
Reflecting on the issue of nurturing pan-Asian appeal, Matthew Liu, President of Heyi Pictures, maintained that Korean films are not hugely popular in China as they as not as spectacular as Hollywood movies, while also lacking stories that reflect the lives of Chinese audiences. He did, however, acknowledge that Korean talent has become extremely popular in China, largely thanks to imported Korean TV dramas.
He said: "Chinese audiences have a very strong acceptance of Korean actors and actresses, so we need to make good use of them. We need to work with them in stories that resonate more closely with Chinese audiences. We will use talent from both sides and leverage the industrial processes of the Korean movie industry."
Away from BIFF's programming line-up and the Asian Film Market's new initiatives, the market itself was quieter than in previous years. This was largely a consequence of bad timing, with the event following the MERS scare and the Chinese stock market crash. It also coincided with the MIPCOM content market in France and Golden Week in China.
Those film sales companies that had booked their meetings ahead of time and scheduled market screenings did, however, report brisk business. US-based Arclight Films, which now has a Beijing office, reported sales of several titles to Korea, India and Vietnam, while also engaging in a number of discussions with regard to selling its library to video-on-demand (VOD) buyers.
Highlighting the importance of this latter move, Elliot Tong, Arclight Films' Head of Asian Sales and Acquisitions, said: "There's a huge drive to establish VOD platforms before Netflix and Amazon launch in Asia. This has seen a lot of companies ramp up on VOD acquisitions. For us, this has allowed us to revisit our libraries and see which titles are available to be licensed for online platforms."
The Busan International Film Festival 2015 took place at Korea's Busan Cinema Center from 1-10 October.

The Bates Mill loft project is yet another wasteful expenditure of taxpayer dollars.
Maine Housing will contribute $5.2 million to the project. There will be 33 of the apartment units set aside for Section 8 housing. That averages out to $157,575 per apartment. Add in that the rent for the Section 8 apartments will also be paid for by public tax dollars and the project becomes just another example of government waste.
If the project was worth the money, it could be financed through private investors and wouldn't require government help.
Does anybody actually believe that Section 8 housing will help in "revitalizing and reinventing downtowns in urban settings," as Lewiston City Administrator Ed Barret says?
What a joke.

'Orgasm Inc.' (unrated)
One woman describes the experience as a flower; another as a roller-coaster ride; a third as war. The subject: That enigmatic, often-elusive, much sought-after female orgasm. When filmmaker Liz Canner first became fascinated with the subject, she had been hired by Vivus, a pharmaceutical company, to create an erotic video to be used during product testing for a new cream – a sort of Viagra for women – that will help treat a new disease known as Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD), a condition that prevents women from achieving orgasm.
In return, Canner asked Vivus executives to be interviewed for her own film that was initially going to explore the growing industry of female sexual-aid medications. At first, the company reps are eager to participate. But as their studies proceed – and as Canner's film starts digging deeper into the company's motivation for creating the new medication – everything changes. Although crudely shot and much simpler than more polished documentaries such as Inside Job or Freakonomics, Orgasm Inc. proves to be a highly engrossing and eye-opening expose of pharmaceutical company tactics, which regularly create a perceived need for a medication where there is none. According to the film, the U.S. and New Zealand are the only two countries in the world where drug-makers are allowed by law to advertise directly to consumers. And yet while the U.S. accounts for only five percent of the world's population, we also make up 42 percent of the world spending on prescription drugs.
Orgasm Inc. also doubles as a fascinating exploration of the longstanding attempts by corporations to wring money from the female orgasm, whether it's recounting the origin of the vibrator or following a woman as she agrees to be a test subject for a new product that requires an electrical rod be surgically implanted into her spine. Many documentaries lose focus or become unwieldy as their directors uncover unexpected facts about their subjects, but Canner is able to keep Orgasm Inc. trained on its eponymous theme with a brisk pace and precise detail that will be equally illuminating to men and women.
Director-producer: Liz Canner.
Editors: Sandra Christie, Jeremiah Zagar.
A First Run Features release. Running time: 80 minutes. Brief graphic images of sexual materials, frank discussions of adult subject matter not suitable for young ears. Opens Saturday Feb. 19 in Miami-Dade only: Coral Gables Art Cinema..


text: I was just watching an episode of "Wild Justice" on National Geographic TV, and someone needs to inform their Game Wardens what the law is regarding loaded magazines. In the episode, a Game Warden stops a truck, and asks them if they have any guns. The guy in the truck admits to having a .22, its a Ruger pistol. He tells the officer it was not loaded. The officer inspects the gun, and tells the man that "the magazine is a part of the gun, and if the magazine is loaded, the gun is considered loaded, even if the magazine is the glove compartment, and the gun is in a completely different part of the truck". Kind of a condensed version of what happened, but its scary that this Game Warden doesn't know the law!

In some Learning Away school partnerships, parents and carers have played a direct part in schools' residential experiences.
Two partnerships in the first phase of the project, the SMILE Trust in Manchester and the South Hetton partnership in County Durham, focus on taking families away, so parents/carers are involved as participants in the residential. The SMILE Trust's Family Residential Programme uses a family-based learning approach, with cooking and the arts as the lead into parenting and family learning. Children in the targeted families are supported to gradually take on responsibility for planning the catering, chores and activities. Three months after the start of the programme, the whole family go away together. Learn more about these programmes on the schools' profile pages, and in our free Families resource.
Other school partnerships have asked parents/carers to attend residentials as additional adults. Care has been taken when this happens to make sure that the parent/carer is not directly responsible for their child on the residential, so that the child can experience the sense of independence a residential offers. A few schools have involved parents as experts who come to the residential to lead activities.
The key to involving parents/carers as additional adults or experts successfully has been careful preparation. Time for this preparation needs to be built in to residential planning. Find more tips and suggestions for staffing your brilliant residential here.

Suffolk puffs and Sunshine at our 100th Birthday Bash
Well my lovely Roses and Brilliant Bunnies, this month's meeting was another jam-packed evening of craft, cake and conversation with our awesome members and friends coming together in ever growing numbers to celebrate 100 years of the WI and rise to the 100 Suffolk Puff Challenge.
After our regular branch update from the ladies of the committee and our president the table to table effort was high as we worked away over party food and new friends with old together, to making dainty little puffs of pastel joy to adorn our WI branch banner in commemoration of this momentous occasion with pink and green being the colors of the day.
Never to be phased by a challenge, and perhaps in the ever continuing nature of the WI movement we actually came out with 101 of our little puff-puppys and you can see them all here! Well done Ladies!
Our next meeting will be September 17th with a talk on Food Waste from Leeds Real Junk Food Project.

Eagles at Lake Monroe
The Official Website of Eagle Watch Weekend
Since 2001, Indiana's premier eagle-watching and birding event
eaglesatlakemonroe.com is a member of the Bird Country US network dedicated to
avian conservation through better understanding of North America's birds
For the most recent eagle sightings on Lake Monroe, "Like" us on Facebook!
Bald Eagle
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
Vital Statistics:
Height: 28 - 38 inches Wingspan: 78 - 84 inches
Sexes look alike, but male is usually smaller. The characteristic white head and tail do not appear until the birds reach maturity (4 - 6 years).
Adult bald eagles generally mate for life, but if one of the pair leaves or is killed, the survivor will take another mate. However, the nest might be abandoned, especially if it is the female that is lost. Whether the birds are taking their first mate, second, or third, the process is the same: pair-bonding (which can continue throughout the year), nest-building, and production of young - a task that will be repeated year after year until the pair is more than 20 years old.
Pair-bonding in bald eagles involves several things - most notably of which are the aerial displays that accompany the ritual. One bird will dive on another and, at the last second, the bird being "attacked" will turn over on its back and extend its talons into the air. Contact between the two birds is rare. Even as dramatic as these displays may be, they are usually short-lived and infrequent. And it is not always adult birds seen doing this. In fact, it is usually two immature birds, or an adult and a subadult bird. The extent of most displays is generally just two birds soaring together or chasing each other.
In chases, one bird will chase after the other, usually in a rather shallow glide. It is also not uncommon to see them switch places during chases. They might also be seen passing sticks in mid-air. But the most thrilling display of all is when they actually lock talons in mid-air and tumble down or swirl around and around as they fall, breaking apart when they sometimes seem to be dangerously close to the ground.
The final sight that would signify pair-bonding is side-by-side perching. This usually happens in the near vicinity of the nest, sometimes on the nest itself. They may even lie in the nest right next to each other.
Copulation usually occurs (no matter what Hollywood might portray) at the nest. The male will simply mount the female to make contact. The whole thing lasts just seconds. After copulation the pair might perch next to each other for a half hour or so, sometimes preening themselves and each other. They also might be seen rearranging nest material during this time.
A bald eagle's nest grows with each year of use. They usually start with one of the taller trees in a given area, with a network of strong supporting branches. While the nest may start out only a couple of feet wide, after a few years of use, the nest can grow to more than six feet wide and ten feet deep! The male usually brings nest material to the nest site where the female will arrange it to suit her. Occasionally, the male will be seen passing sticks to the female on a branch near the nest or, on even rarer occasions, the sticks may pass between them in mid-air. Softer material, such as grasses and leaves, will be used to line the center of the nest.
Bald eagles generally lay two eggs, although one or three are not that uncommon. There have even been cases of up to four eggs in a nest, but many researchers believe that this might be due to polygamy on the part of the male – eggs from two different females will be incubated in the same nest. The eggs are laid about two days apart and will normally hatch in the same order as they were laid, with approximately the same intervals between hatchings as there were between layings. The eggs are bluish-white, about 3 inches in length, and roughly oval-shaped. Through time, the eggs will discolor until they appear to be more of a mottled, or dirty, white. Incubation lasts 34 to 36 days with both the male and female birds incubating, although the time devoted to incubation is not evenly split between the pair. Females will incubate the eggs about 60 percent of the time. A typical stint on the eggs lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to two or even three hours. During incubation, the male will bring food for the female, many times to one of the supporting branches of the nest, but she will usually come off the eggs to eat, with the male taking her place on the nest. On other occasions, the female may hunt for herself while the male takes his turn on the eggs.
For the most part, bald eagles eat fish, at least during the warmer months of the year when open water prevails. Hunting from a perch, bald eagles can exhibit patience that humans only wish they had. An eagle might sit for hours in one spot and when a fish comes too close to the surface, they dive at the target at a medium angle, extend their talons in front of their body, and snatch the fish from the surface of the water. The same attack process is used when lakes, rivers, and streams start to freeze over, leaving small openings in the ice cover, only now their target is more likely to be waterfowl. Ducks and geese tend to sit on the edge of the ice next to these openings and go into the water to escape the talons of predators such as the bald eagle. Eagles use the same snatching techniques to grab their prey whether the prey item is on the ice or in the water. When bodies of water freeze over completely, most eagles will migrate to the nearest area with open water. But, at the same time, their menu preferences will switch to whatever food is most available, especially carrion. One winter bald eagle census technique involves the placing of road-kill animals as bait to draw the eagles into an area for an accurate count.
The first ninety days of life are considered the nestling stage for bald eagles, although they may fledge in anywhere from 72 days to as much as 98 days. It is during this time that they will acquire some 95% of their adult size - growing from a hatch weight of some 10 ounces to their adult weight that might reach 12 pounds. During the nestling stage of an eagle's life, its very survival might depend on how many siblings (or half-siblings) are in the nest and in which order they hatched. An eaglet that is last to hatch in a brood of three has little chance of survival. First of all, the siblings will all be bigger and, therefore, out-compete the little one for food. Secondly, older siblings have been known to shove their way around the nest, sometimes inadvertently killing the youngest or even pushing them out of the nest. And finally, the larger siblings in a nest have been documented on several occasions, killing and eating the youngest of the brood. If all three (or even four) siblings survive, it is probably because the parents are on an exceptional piece of habitat, where feeding themselves and three or four young is possible without causing undue strife at the nest between the youngsters.
Should the young survive to about 12 weeks of age, the time has come for them to try their hand at this thing called flying. Contrary to the more anthropocentric view of birds, adult eagles (or adult birds of any kind) do not teach the young how to fly – no more than humans teach their youngsters to walk or run or jump. It is a part of their inherent behavior and when the right time comes, assuming they are physically capable, the young will take off from the nest. The first flight is generally a short one and, typically, to a perch lower than the nest site – it sometimes seems more of a gentle glide than actual flight, but the landing might be anything but gentle. It takes a little practice to figure out when to stop flapping their wings while grabbing a perch, and the result can, surprisingly often, be a perfect two-point landing, except that the bird ends up upside-down. Injuries rarely occur during these episodes and in just a couple more attempts, the young eagles will look like they've been landing on rickety branches for years.
At this time, it might be possible to distinguish sexes amongst the youngsters. Females are generally larger than males, but there is some overlap between the sexes, making sex determination of eagles in the wild somewhat difficult. Females range from about 9 to 11 pounds at maturity, while males range from about 8 to 10 pounds. Therefore, a larger male and a smaller female will appear to be exactly alike. There are no other phenotypical traits that can be used to determine the sex of bald eagles in the wild.
For the first month or so after fledging, the nest site is still the focal point of a young eagle's wanderings. They will usually stay within a half of a mile or so from the site. During this time, one or more of the parent birds might be seen feeding the youngster at a perch in the immediate area. But, as the young bird matures more and more, its daily forays will spread to points farther and farther from the nest. It is during this critical period that an eagle forms its idea of "home." This tendency to return to a "home area" is what has made the various reintroduction programs of bald eagles so successful all across their range.
Eagles hatched in the more northern climes of the continent will have to move in the fall as the lakes and rivers where they fish freeze over for the winter. But, unlike other birds that migrate to a specific location somewhere to the south, eagles seem to only travel as far as needed to find open water – an area with a readily available food source. This is one of the reasons that Lake Monroe is a popular winter destination for eagles from up north. Lake Monroe generally doesn't freeze completely over during the winter months. And even in the colder years, ice-eaters at the Fourwinds Resort and Marina keep open water available for eagles.
While eagles from other areas can readily be found at the lake during the winter months, the resident pairs of the lake don't seem to move anywhere at all. If they do make a winter trek, it probably amounts to no more than an occasional feeding foray to the Ohio River area. It might be thought of as more of a winter dispersion than a seasonal migration. The result is Lake Monroe's eagle population grows each winter as the resident birds are joined by others migrating from the frozen lakes, streams, and rivers to the north.
For the next four to six years, an eagle's life is spent hunting and eating. During this time they will probably start forming some sort of a bond with another eagle, and nest-building might even begin, although the eagles will not be able to produce until they are about five years old, the time when they undergo their final plumage change and sport the distinctive white head and tail.

For the fourth straight year, the Notre Dame High School boys' swimming team finished second at the Mercer County Championships, staring up at Princeton.
When one's been there, as Henry DeSandre had for the first time just six years ago and then for two more years after that, seeing a team win what one once had, can't be easy.
That kind of competitiveness was clear when talking with DeSandre as the Irish moved through the NJSIAA Non-Public B Tournament last month.
"The Show," DeSandre called the state final. "We've never been to The Show."
Notre Dame got there this year. Moving out of the rough NJSIAA Non-Public A Tournament bracket in the the B bracket, the Irish steam-rolled their first two opponents on the way to The Show, and Notre Dame did its darnedest to make more history than just getting to the state final.
Battling Pingry, which came in as a six-time defending state champion, Notre Dame led,
63-61, with three events to go. It was tied 70-70 with two events left after a disqualification of Pingry's top backstroker, and the Irish were only down two after a Pingry win in the breaststroke.
Notre Dame needed a win and a second or third in the meet-closing 400 free relay to win the first state title in program history or a first-place finish to share it. But by 3.43 seconds, Notre Dame fell short in that last race, and the wait for that first state title will go on.
Waiting and patience are something DeSandre knows all about, having guided the Irish for the last quarter-century. Through the mid-2000s, the Irish climbed through the Mercer County Championships standings. DeSandre's son, Bobby, won Swimmer of the Meet honors in 2001, coinciding with a second-place finish behind West Windsor-Plainsboro South. A steep decline followed, and by 2003 and 2004, the Irish were seventh in the county.
That's when the climb began. A year later, in 2005, Notre Dame finished fourth; then third in 2006 and second in 2007, with the runner-up finish coming by just a point-and-a-half behind township rival Lawrence. If that sting was fuel for Notre Dame, it worked. In 2008, the Irish won their first county title and kept on going right through 2010 before Princeton took over the throne.
Princeton has packed a punch the last four years, no doubt about it. But DeSandre might have Notre Dame on the move again.
Finishing just ahead of the Irish all four years, Princeton's smallest margin of victory during the run was this year, just 38 points. Two years ago, Princeton won by 166 points.
Even with the graduation loss of Max Cummings, who won both sprint freestyle races as the county meet this year, the cap-and-gown crowd will take a bigger bite out of Princeton than Notre Dame.
All five Princeton swimmers who contributed a relay or individual county title are seniors. Of the five Irish who did so, only Cummings and Rob Farley are seniors.
It's already been a great run for DeSandre, but with the subtle changes in how the county shapes up next year, he just might add to an already outstanding decade.

March 12, 2014 07:04 ET
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 12, 2014) - Micrel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRL), an industry leader in high performance analog and high-speed mixed signal, LAN, and timing and communications solutions, today announced that it would be previewing the MIC2111 DC/DC multi-mode controller at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition, APEC 2014. The industry conference will be held March 16-20th, at the Fort Worth Convention Center. The device to be showcased is capable of operating in a valley current mode or a voltage mode configuration. This controller provides the necessary PWM signal to interface with industry standard DrMOS. It also interfaces with fully discrete power stages to deliver a high current, low voltage solution to high performance power demanding core rails in the server, communication, and networking markets. Samples can be ordered by contacting the factory: www.micrel.com. The MIC2111 will be available in production and volume quantities starting in the second quarter of 2014 with 1,000 quantities pricing starting at $0.95.
"The MIC2111 is Micrel's first multi-mode controller capable of operating in either a valley current or voltage mode configuration. This device offers design flexibility to optimize for a specific power requirement while minimizing the need to use different controllers, thus eliminating the component qualification process and simplifying inventory management," noted Brian Hedayati, vice president of marketing for high performance linear and power solutions at Micrel. "Moreover, the MIC2111 addresses the design challenge of delivering high power to low voltage core power rails in a constrained space."
In a valley current mode configuration, the MIC2111 allows high frequency operation (up to 2MHz) even under low duty cycle conditions. This resolves a common challenge often present when powering high current, low-voltage core power rails associated with FPGAs, ASICs, and processors from a 12V bus supply. The higher frequency enables a wider operating bandwidth, thereby improving the load transient response while reducing the amount of output capacitance and the size of the inductor. As a benefit, board space and cost are minimized. The same device can also be configured in a voltage mode operation, providing for even better immunity in noise sensitive applications.
To improve performance, the MIC2111 uses a differential DCR current sense for an accurate current limit as well as remote sensing that improves output voltage accuracy; a critical requirement for low voltage core rails in high current applications.
This device offers a host of additional features to provide unique flexibility and protection. The MIC2111 offers overcurrent, over and under voltage protection and is designed to safely start up into a pre-biased output. For additional robustness, this solution includes Micrel's proprietary bi-directional single wire fault pin to ensure that the controller and power stage are operating properly. The switching frequency, output voltage, thermal limit, and soft-start time can all be adjusted externally to meet design requirements. Other factory trimmed optional features include a power on delay and soft-stop operation. The MIC2111 in available in a small 3mm x 3mm TQFN package and operates from -40 ºC to +125 ºC.

Biographical Note
Born: January 30, 1928, New Britain, Connecticut.
After sixteen years of Democratic control the Republicans won the governor's office once more with the candidacy of Thomas Meskill. A native of New Britain, Meskill graduated from Trinity College in 1950 and then spent three years with the US Air Force. He returned to Connecticut, obtained a law degree, and opened his practice in New Britain in 1956. He married Mary Grady and they had five children.
Meskill entered local politics and was elected mayor of New Britain for 1962-1964. He ran for U.S. Congress in 1964, but lost. Two years later he ran again and won, serving from 1967 until 1971 when he became governor. When Governor Dempsey announced his plan to leave office, the Republican Party saw Meskill as its best candidate and he won the nomination with little opposition. A divided Democratic Party helped Meskill win a substantial victory and he began his term as governor in January of 1971.
There were several problems for Meskill during his first year in office. One was that he inherited a budget that was well out of balance. The second was that his public image became that of a tough, uncaring governor. Democratic leaders and the news media portrayed Meskill's conservative policies in a negative manner. The young Republicans that he hired to help run his administration were dubbed "Meskill's Kiddie Corps." and he became known as "Tough Tom". The budget battle during the 1971 session of the General Assembly was a tiring one that saw Meskill veto 44 legislative bills. On the last night of the session the Assembly passed an income tax bill that Meskill refused to sign, although he did not veto it either. By August the public's outcry was such that this bill was rescinded and a special session was called to pass a more conventional tax package that raised the sales tax to seven percent. Some achievements included passage of no fault auto insurance, granting 18 years olds the right to vote, adoption of tougher drunk driving laws, and the creation of the Department of Environmental Protection.
While Meskill's next three years in office went smoother than his first, and he was able to balance the budget and reduce the sales tax to 6 1/2 percent, he had difficulty overcoming the perception that he ran an austere administration. When an ice storm hit the state in December of 1973 Meskill was on vacation with his family in Vermont. Although he issued orders that allowed state agencies to properly handle the crises, his failure to return to Connecticut was used by the press to make him look bad to the voters. Upset at this bias, as well as a failure to receive credit for his accomplishments while in office, Meskill announced in early 1974 that he would not seek reelection. He was the first governor of Connecticut in more than 50 years who voluntarily limited himself to only one term. Shortly after leaving office Meskill was appointed to be a judge on the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals and was its chief judge before his retirement in 1993.

Toys in the Attic
By johnwillis | August 23, 2012
The other day I was cleaning out my garage and I found an old cassette of a few songs I recorded around 1983. The lead parts on "Night of the Guillotine" and "Fly me to the Moon" are my magnificent nephew (RIP) Donald Dunham II. If you ever get a chance to go into a studio and record some of your own songs I highly recommend it. Please excuse the quality, converting cassettes to MP3 is not an exact science.

In Egypt, Women's Soccer Carries a Cultural KickApril 28, 2008
When you think of Egypt, what comes to mind? Probably not sports. The same can be said about NYU, where sports take a back seat compared to most colleges. So it made for an interesting experience when the Tisch Center for Sports Management, Hospitality and Tourism Scholars Program embarked on a journey to Egypt to study sports.
Of the three potential destinations for the juniors in the program, Egypt was like Davidson - a long shot at best. Switzerland was set to host the 2008 European Championships and was home to the headquarters of FIFA. Brazil had just earned a bid to the 2014 World Cup. The Egypt proposal was slightly more abstract: study the effect of football (soccer) on women in breaking down traditional barriers in a Muslim culture.
As a member of the Scholars Program, I was initially disappointed when Egypt was chosen. But after learning more about the situation there, I quickly warmed up to the idea.
On the plane ride, I read a book called "How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory on Globalization," hoping it would give me some insight into our area of study. In it, author Franklin Foer explained the situation in another Muslim culture, Iran. Just 10 years ago, women in Iran were forbidden from attending football games. What's happened since then has been considered a football revolution, and in 2003 roughly 3,000 women were allowed to step inside the international stadium to celebrate a World Cup Qualifier win.
As soon as I met women's soccer pioneer Madame Sahar El Hawari, I realized that Egypt was no Iran. Dr. Hawari entered the room dressed in jeans and a jacket, a stark contrast from the more conservatively dressed women we had been exposed to in Cairo. Dr. Hawari's story was a truly amazing one that culminated with her becoming the first Arab woman named the International Olympic Committee's Woman of the Year in Sports in 2003.
Dr. Hawari was brought up on football. Her father was a famous FIFA referee and an integral part of the Egyptian Football Association. Still, he tried to explain to his daughter that women and football in Egypt just didn't go together. Sahar wouldn't have it.
She made it her life's work to foster a women's football league in Egypt and was undeterred by those who insisted it was purely "a man's game."
Her task was not an easy one. Simply due to the way women were expected to dress, football was fundamentally at odds with their culture. She started recruiting at a grassroots level, pursuing every lead from upper to lower Egypt. She told us a story about how she recruited one of her strongest players, a peasant from Lower Egypt who spent her days collecting crops and played football against the boys in her free time.
Dr. Hawari's proposal to the players was unique. She would take them into her home and support them with everything from food to clothes. The girls spent the next five years with Dr. Hawari and trained vigorously.
To increase awareness for the club, she took her players across the country as entertainment at various festivals. They played a looser style of five-on-five football as a way of introducing the country to the idea of women playing football.
And she didn't stop at Egypt.
"If I'm only building in my country, how will they play competitions?" Hawari said. "My mission started here and spread to the Middle East and then the rest of the African countries."
On our trip we got to see the fruits of Dr. Hawari's labor, as her youth team prepared for an international showdown in the Women's Youth World Cup Qualifier.
The entire trip was an eye-opening experience. Seeing how women's football was able to persevere through tremendous resistance makes you regret the struggles of women's soccer in this country, where it faces fewer inherent societal hurdles. Despite a successful national team, the last women's soccer league (WUSA) was forced to fold in 2003 after only three seasons. When it officially returns in the spring of 2009 under the name Women's Professional Soccer, I'll keep in mind the efforts of Dr. Hawari.

Is Lemon Water Good for the Liver?
Your liver, located on the right side of your abdomen below your diaphragm, plays a vital role in detoxifying your blood, breaking down toxins to rid them from your system. The health of your liver could be compromised if you're overweight or drink alcohol regularly. Lemon water is good for the health of your liver because it reduces inflammation and oxidation in the liver.

How Lemon Benefits Your Liver
According to a study published in 2014 in "Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology," a compound found in lemons called naringenin calms liver inflammation. In 2003, "Life Sciences" reported results of a study indicating that eriocitrin, a flavonoid in lemons, protects your liver against exercise-induced oxidative stress. Other causes of oxidative stress, like tobacco and radiation, were not examined. One lemon contains 40 percent of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C. A study published in "Nutrition Journal" in 2003 found that vitamin C also reduces oxidative stress. It was found to inhibit the development of fatty liver disease in rats.

- Simpson, Simon, Lindsay and Geek Chic Fashion! I know many of you were looking forward to hearing about the awkward tension between Lindsay Lohan and her robber Alexis Neiers as they crossed paths at the LA County Jail this week, but I must begrudgingly relay that Alexis has left the building. Yes, (*sigh*) Alexis Neiers has been released only after 30 days of her sentence and has been relinquished of the additional 60! I'm sure Lohan was looking forward to eyeing a member of the "Bling Ring" robberies who owes a reported $600000 in restitution for all stolen goods, which includes Lohan's glistening Channel necklace found in the Pretty Wild star's home. But rest assured, our lax punitive arrangements for celebrities will apply to Lohan as well. The lucky gal had two days knocked off her sentence deflating her sentence from 90 to 88 days. Simon's incessant bashing of contestants has finally caught up to the former American Idol judge...in subpoena form! Simon is being sued by "Britain's Got Talent" contestant Emma Czikai who claims her audition went horribly wrong because Simon as well as the rest of the panel triggered her nervous condition called cervical spine neuritis which affected her ability to sing. She abashes the show for its "modern day slavery" and claims she is providing voice to the many contestants who have taken the verbal battery far too long. Then again, these are the founding beliefs of our industry...hard work and abuse in turn for a measly bite at the fruit of fame. Either way, reality of the ...

- "Pretty" by Stevie Smith, Read by DJB This is a poem written by Stevie Smith, formerly Florance Margaret Smith. A little quirky; perhaps a little creepy; maybe even a little profound, but certainly "Pretty." Pretty Why is the word pretty so underrated? In November the leaf is pretty when it falls The stream grows deep in the woods after rain And in the pretty pool the pike stalks He stalks his prey, and this is pretty too, The prey escapes with an underwater flash But not for long, the great fish has him now The pike is a fish who always has his prey And this is pretty. The water rat is pretty His paws are not webbed, he cannot shut his nostrils As the otter can and the beaver, he is torn between The land and water. Not 'torn', he does not mind. The owl hunts in the evening and it is pretty The lake water below him rustles with ice There is frost coming from the ground, in the air mist All this is pretty, it could not be prettier. Yes, it could always be prettier, the eye abashes It is becoming an eye that cannot see enough, Out of the wood the eye climbs. This is prettier A field in the evening, tilting up. The field tilts to the sky. Though it is late The sky is lighter than the hill field All this looks easy but really it is extraordinary Well, it is extraordinary to be so pretty. And it is careless, and that is always pretty This field, this owl, this pike, this pool are careless, As Nature is always careless and indifferent Who sees, who steps, means nothing, and this is pretty.
