Morse's moon shots mean victory for Mariners
OAKLAND -- Michael Morse was brought to Seattle to provide some missing power to the Mariners offense, and the big outfielder delivered Tuesday with two home runs and four RBIs in a 7-1 victory over the A's.
Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma followed Felix Hernandez's Opening Day gem with a strong start of his own, allowing two hits and one run with seven strikeouts and no walks in six innings.
Seattle's pitching has allowed just one run and six hits in the first two games, but it was the offense that created the buzz in this one as Morse continued what the Mariners started this spring while thumping a club-record 58 home runs in Cactus League play.
"It's good," Morse said. "I don't think anybody is playing over their abilities. Guys are comfortable up there. We had a good spring and I think it's carrying over. We're just playing good baseball."
It's just the eighth time in the Mariners' 37-year history they've opened a season with two straight wins, and they've done so against an Oakland team that won the American League West last year and topped Seattle in their last seven meetings of 2012.
Morse drove a three-run blast to the opposite field with two out in the third, clearing the right-field fence and a leaping Josh Reddick for his first home run for the Mariners since 2005. He added his second with a monster solo shot to dead center in the ninth.
"It's a difference-maker in a ballgame right there," manager Eric Wedge said of Morse's first home run, which turned a 1-0 deficit into a game the Mariners never trailed the rest of the way. "It changes the entire course of the ballgame. Everything changes, the way you manage, the whole mindset in the entire ballpark and both clubs."
Though Morse played in the Seattle organization from 2004-08, he hit just three home runs in 300 at-bats over 107 games while spending much of that time in the Minors. Only after he was traded to the Nationals in 2009 did he emerge as a power threat, hitting 31 homers in 2011 and 64 total in his past three seasons.
After being reacquired in a trade from the Nationals, the 6-foot-5, 245-pounder hit a club record nine home runs this spring, the most of any Major Leaguer, and continued that power display with Tuesday's blasts.
The Mariners haven't had many legitimate power threats in recent seasons, with no player totaling more than 20 homers in a season since Russell Branyan hit 31 in 2009.
"Anytime you can add a guy like him, that's big," said third baseman Kyle Seager. "You saw what he could do tonight. He can take over a game with one swing of the bat. That was a big knock to get us going in the third and obviously what he did in the ninth was pretty special.
"He's just got that [feeling] where anytime he goes up to the plate, you never know ... something like that can happen. And that's pretty special."
Kendrys Morales, the Mariners' other major middle-of-the-order offseason addition, drove in his first run of the season with an RBI single in the fifth for a 4-1 lead.
The Mariners got production from some of their returners as well, with Seager going 3-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, two runs and an RBI.
First baseman Justin Smoak went 0-for-3, but drew two walks, the second one driving in a run with the bases loaded in the seventh to make it 5-1. Michael Saunders stole two bases and scored a pair of runs from the leadoff spot.
The Mariners worked six A's pitchers for eight walks, including three in the seventh along with a hit batter.
Iwakuma was outstanding in his season debut, with only a home run by Yoenis Cespedes leading off the second marring his night. Cespedes hit six of his 23 home runs and drove in 14 of his 83 RBIs in 19 games against Seattle last year as a rookie.
But after a one-out single in the third by Eric Sogard, Iwakuma retired the final 11 batters he faced before turning a four-run lead over to his bullpen.
Wedge said he would have sent Iwakuma out for another inning, but a blister on his right middle finger that hindered his last Spring Training start became a minor issue and he didn't want to push it.
"I felt fine from the get-go," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "But as we went along, it started to get a little tender. So 88 pitches was good enough for tonight."
The A's, who have hit .100 (6-for-60) in their first two games, were frustrated by this one.
"Obviously, last night was difficult for obvious reasons, with Felix coming out and pitching a game," said first baseman Brandon Moss, who went 0-for-3. "Tonight Iwakuma did well, but we squared some balls up. But we didn't make him pitch like we're capable of making him pitch.
"We almost had a passiveness to us, where we knew we weren't getting anything going, we were trying to make something happen instead of just playing loose," said Moss. "You feel things aren't there, and as a team you're not clicking and you're trying to make things happen, trying to force it. We'll come out tomorrow, and it can't be much worse than tonight."
The Mariners, on the flip side, will look to keep riding their early momentum.
"We're playing good baseball and it gets contagious," said Morse. "We're going to play with blinders on and just keep pushing forward."

Manny Bernal immigrated to El Paso from Chihuahua at the age of 12. He describes school then as "horrible," because he didn't speak any English. He says he was an "outcast." But after his freshman year, he entered the bilingual program at his high school. He says, "It gives me a chance to keep my identity. It's like a comfort zone. It's like a place where you know you won't get harassed. Where you're just safe."
Maribel Dominguez is another senior from the Isleta School District in El Paso. She speaks three languages. She explains, "Ever since I was really young my mother taught me to never forget where I come from, and I always grew up with the idea that different languages were really important. I grew up in a school where we had to learn not only Spanish nor English, but Russian too."
The students speak with passion about the benefits of a bilingual education. Yet their program in El Paso is at risk. They say their school district hasn't adequately funded it, and there aren't enough teachers to accommodate all the students who want to participate.
Recently, Manny and Maribel traveled to Santa Fe for La Cosecha, a national bilingual education conference. They shared their experiences with young people from all over New Mexico at the Student Leadership Institute.
Educator Juan de la Cruz Delgadillo is originally from Mexico, and now teaches Spanish in an Albuquerque charter school. He says bilingual education isn't just about learning in two languages. "I see that students with a bilingual education have become stronger by learning about two different cultures. It's a great accumulation of knowledge and understanding. They're not just learning from one culture, but from two."
On the agenda for the conference were sessions on using music and rhyme to engage young students, academic vocabulary development, and how to integrate new curriculum standards known as the Common Core.
At a workshop on bilingual methods, elementary teachers from Ohio and Iowa discussed nonfiction books in Spanish.
It was one of numerous conversations on how to help struggling students, many of whom are English language learners.
The question is critical in addressing the achievement gap between Latino and white students. And the gap between students learning English and English-speaking peers is even wider, more than thirty points.
Critics of dual language programs say that students who speak other languages should focus on English, since English proficiency is the key to academic success.
Yet studies show that when children develop speaking, reading, and writing abilities in their first languages, they're better able to learn English.
New Mexico's history means bilingual Spanish-English programs appeal to an array of families: Anglo, immigrant, and Hispanic. David Rogers is the executive director of the nonprofit Dual Language Education New Mexico. He says, "there's an excitement around it, especially for traditional New Mexican families, who have lost their heritage language over the years and want to bring that back."
And it's not just Spanish language programs that are growing. Eight Native languages are spoken in New Mexico, and some tribes have turned to bilingual programs as a way to preserve their linguistic and cultural heritage.
Yet the path to providing native-language instruction for language minority students is far from clear.
Rosa Molina is the executive director of the Association for Two-Way, Dual Language Education, based in San Jose, California.
She says negative attitudes towards immigration have a "tremendous effect" on bilingual education because they impact the status of the language and of the people who speak it. She explains, "And we get mired in this conversation about, this child is an immigrant, this child wasn't born here, we owe this child nothing."
She argues that this debate hurts students because educators have to defend their programs instead of focusing on good teaching. Molina says, "It takes us away from creating great things for kids. It really does."
Molina says that bilingual programs are being overlooked in the national discussion on school reform. According to her, charter schools, vouchers and other programs that work outside public schools aren't the answer for language minority students.
"We still have to keep our doors open for anyone who's assigned to our school district, to anyone who's assigned to our schools, and we need to be able to have program options and viable programs for those children."
For Molina, the solution has to be bigger than creating an alternative. She calls for a "moral imperative" for equitable education. For high school student Manny Bernal, bilingual education, he says, gives him hope for a better life.

Kvapil contrite after arrest, focused on family, racing
CONCORD, N.C. — Travis Kvapil gave a public apology on Thursday, two days after being arrested following a domestic dispute with his wife, Jennifer.
Kvapil will still be allowed to race in Saturday night's Bank of America 500. He spoke to reporters after qualifying 41st at Charlotte Motor Speedway, saying he regretted the incident and asking for privacy.
"Obviously, I'm embarrassed about the situation," he said. "I don't like the negative effects it's brought on. So I apologize to NASCAR, my team, supporters of my team, my fans anyone else who was impacted by what happened Tuesday night."
Kvapil, 37, was charged with assault on a female and false imprisonment, Capt. Joseph Cooke of the Mooresville (N.C.) Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
KVAPIL:Arrested for assaulting his wife
The arrest report obtained by USA TODAY Sports shows Jennifer suffered no serious injuries and no weapons were found at the scene.
According to court records reviewed by The Sporting News, Kvapil allegedly pulled his wife into a bedroom by her hair and struck her in the head. He is not permitted to return home and can only contact his wife by phone or email on matters concerning their three children — Kelsey, Carson and Caden. He faces a Nov. 19 court date.
"NASCAR does not condone the actions with which Travis Kvapil has been charged and we are disappointed to learn of this incident," a NASCAR statement said. "We have been in close communication with the race team and are in the process of gathering as much information as possible. NASCAR takes this matter very seriously and will continue to monitor the situation as it moves forward."
BY THE NUMBERS:Kvapil's career stats
Kvapil acknowledged he was "definitely concerned" about not being allowed to race this weekend, but NASCAR and BK Racing permitted him to remain in the car. The Wisconsin native said he would remain focused on his job.
"(BK Racing owner Ron Devine) asked me if I thought I could get the job done, and I told him I think I can," he said. "I strap in, I step into this garage area and I'm focused on this race car and what it takes to do the best job we can throughout the weekend and particularly Saturday night."
In a separate statement, Devine said BK Racing "understands the severity of the situation and we don't condone the actions that Travis has been accused of."
"We feel it's important to let the system take its course," Devine said. "For that reason, we have elected to support Travis and his family and keep Travis in the car for this weekend's race. Further comment will be available as additional information becomes available."
Kvapil was booked Tuesday night and held overnight in Iredell County Jail. He was freed on $2,000 bond Wednesday after a district court appearance.
Kvapil moved into Sprint Cup full time in 2005 and has made 240 starts. He also won the NASCAR truck championship in 2003 and has nine victories in 143 starts on the circuit.
The driver has started all 30 races this season, finishing a season-best 16th at the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Aug. 24. Kvapil, who drives the No. 93 Toyota, is ranked 31st in the Sprint Cup standings.

Apple's iMac MB418LL/A has everything you'd expect from an iMac — built-in screen, space-age look and OS X. Unfortunately, it also has everything you'd expect from an iMac — limited upgrade opportunities and no access to most of the components.

GCN Lab reviews home
The iMac comes with only four USB ports in the back and none in the front, which is the fewest of any computer in this review. The compact keyboard, whose 78-key configuration contains no numeric keypad, takes up one of the precious USB ports. However, it provides one port in addition to the one being used by the mouse, so it effectively uses none. We were pleased to see a FireWire and a Micro-DVI port. And of course, we cannot forget that the iMac has a beautiful 24-inch display.
Component access is virtually nonexistent in the iMac. But that is how iMacs are made, and anyone buying one would no doubt expect it. Because you can't get at anything inside the iMac, except the memory, without breaking it, we felt that any Ease of Access grade would be meaningless, so we did not assign one.
If anything is the iMac's Achilles' heel, it is upgradability. You cannot upgrade or replace anything except the memory through a small access panel on the bottom of the computer. A 2G module already consumes each of the memory card slots, so no upgrades are possible without replacement.
The iMac scored only 744.3 in our benchmark tests, which is the lowest in the review. This is largely because of its 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8200 processor; the other computers in the roundup use faster processors. Of course, some of the slow performance might be because the iMac is optimized for OS X instead of the Windows Vista operating system we needed to install to run the benchmark program.
The list price of $1,499 is not bad considering what you get, and the government price of $1,364 is even better. This system is made for any user who prefers Mac OS X to Windows, though it has enough power, as we found out, to also drive Vista. So a dual-boot configuration is possible, which might help it slip into more government circles, where the impressive looking design will certainly stand out.

You'd think the GOP would have learned not to meddle in our sex lives. But that's not the case: In red states, Republican politicians are cracking down on abortion, sex education, access to birth control—even divorce. It's as if the 2012 election never happened.
Consider Virginia, where Republican attorney general Ken Cuccinelli pursued a felony sodomy conviction against a man who'd solicited oral sex from a female. Sodomy laws are unconstitutional, of course, something the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals had to remind Cuccinelli of not once but twice. North Carolina Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that would send couples to marriage counseling and enact a two-year waiting period before they would be allowed to divorce. Ohio Republicans want to slap sex-ed teachers with a $5,000 fine if they talk about "gateway sexual activity" in a way that leads students to "any touching of an erogenous zone…for the purpose of sexually arousing or gratifying either person." South Dakota got creative with the concept of time: Weekends and holidays no longer count toward the 72 hours a woman must wait before having an abortion.
The Republican antisex police are on the march. Don't worry; unhappily married Tar Heels can still avail themselves of a no-fault divorce, and oral sex remains safe in the land of Jefferson. But antisodomy crusader Cuccinelli has a fighting chance of becoming Virginia's next governor come November. In the first half of 2013, more than 450 provisions were introduced in state legislatures to restrict access to abortion, birth control and sex education, according to the nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute.
To the women and men who hold the front lines to protect sexual freedom and the right to decide if and when to have children, this feels like a game of whack-a-mole. After all, the 2012 election was in part a referendum on the GOP's retrograde positions on women, gays and sexual rights. Single women and young men—the groups with the most to lose if Mitt Romney had won—voted for Barack Obama and Democratic Senate candidates by commanding margins. Yet even as Obama was coasting to reelection on a 5 million vote margin, Republicans ended the night with rock-solid control in 25 states, the result of gerrymandering effected by Tea Party Republicans.
Unsurprisingly, a woman's right to a legal abortion remains the main target of Republican governors and state lawmakers. Fourteen states considered bills to ban abortion before fetal viability. Personhood measures—which prohibit abortion from the moment sperm meets egg and could outlaw some forms of birth control—moved forward in eight states. These laws are unconstitutional; their purpose is to tee up a Supreme Court review of Roe v. Wade, the case that guaranteed a woman's right to a legal abortion. The attempt to overturn Roe is a barren pursuit. Seven out of 10 Americans believe Roe should remain the law of the land. Courts have struck down or enjoined many recent state laws, such as Arizona, Idaho and Georgia's second-trimester-abortion bans. This year's most extreme law—North Dakota's ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy—will almost surely meet the same fate.
Not satisfied with symbolic wins, one faction of the anti-abortion right is striking pay dirt with a more devious approach: End abortion state by state by driving abortion providers out of business. A bevy of bills imposing a financial burden on women or capricious rules on doctors, nurses and clinics has been moved in states controlled by the Republican Party, America's tireless champion of small government. Nineteen states passed laws that prohibit abortion coverage in the state health insurance exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act. Eight states also banned abortion coverage in private insurance plans. Twelve states have outlawed nonsurgical abortion by telemedicine. Others imposed arbitrary new building codes on abortion clinics, regulations that have already forced some women's health clinics to close. Two days after a deadly tornado cut through Oklahoma, the state senate voted to defund Planned Parenthood.
There's more, however, to the Republican quest to regulate lady parts than the God, Jesus and unborn-baby rhetoric would have you believe. Republicans are still coming for your birth control. What better way to reduce abortion than to encourage couples who don't want children to use birth control? In several states, that's exactly what Democrats are doing, expanding access to affordable birth control and science-based sex education. In contrast, six GOP-dominated states give pharmacists the right to refuse to fill prescriptions for contraception or Plan B. Eight Republican-controlled state legislatures moved bills that allow employers to exclude birth control from employees' health care plans. Republicans in the U.S. House even tried to make funding the federal government contingent on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act's birth-control mandate. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell and 10 GOP Congress members filed an amicus brief in an employer's lawsuit to strike down this mandate. Surprisingly, it is President Obama's signature achievement—health care reform—that has handed the GOP fresh opportunities to interfere in your private business.
It's not as if Republicans have changed their spots since 2012. In June, the House passed an unconstitutional pre-viability abortion ban. But politicians with national aspirations have learned how to supply the right-wing base with its fix without drawing unwanted media attention. Thus 2016 hopeful Marco Rubio wins bipartisan plaudits for championing immigration reform, while few journalists report that he proposed a budget amendment making it a federal crime to help a minor cross state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion without parental consent. Senator Rand Paul, the self-styled libertarian Republican, tells evangelicals he believes marijuana should remain illegal, states should have the right to ban gay marriage and America needs a "spiritual cleansing."
For the moment, the firewall against the delirium holds. Thanks to changing demographics, a more tolerant and progressive electorate is poised to become the absolute majority of voters as early as 2016. Nevertheless, America's political zombies, the sexual fundamentalists of the religious right, are banking on state and congressional elections in 2013 and 2014 to give them one last chance at prosecuting their unpopular war on sex.

Brin, Page, Bezos and Wales?
What do the founders of Google (both of them), Amazon and Wikipedia have in common? Like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Mahatma Gandhi, Sigmund Freud, Buckminster Fuller, Leo Tolstoy, Bertrand Russell, Jean Piaget and Hilary and Bill Clinton before them, they all had early Montessori schooling.
Sergei Brin and Larry Page both attended Montessori schools. Indeed, they both credit their Montessori education for much of their success. It was the Montessori experience, they claim, that made them self-directed, allowing them to think for themselves and pursue their real interests.
Jeff Bezos's mother tells of his single-mindedness at his Motessori school, being so absorbed in the tasks he chose that they had to drag him off to give him a change. This same self-directed, single-mindedness was a feature of his Amazon adventure.
Jimmy Wales was educated in a one-room schoolhouse. Although not home-schooling, it was close as he was taught in a class of four by his mother and grandmother, who ran the school. The school was significantly influenced by Montessori methods and he had the freedom to study what he liked on his own terms.
Note that all three have made significant contributions to increasing access to self-directed knowledge and learning.

Sarcoma & GIST 2014
Milan, Italy - 18 Feb - 19 Feb 2014
The 5th ESMO Conference on Sarcoma & GIST took place in Milan Italy, 18-19 February 2014. Starting with pathology and a deeper molecular understanding of different disease sub-types, the programme offered participants presentations focused on a personalised approach to – all organ localisations of – soft tissue sarcomas, localised and advanced GIST as well as resistant and sensitive forms.
What is truly unique about ESMO's Sarcoma and GIST Conferences are the in-depth discussions about very rare sub-entities with world-renowned experts in the field. The strong network of sarcoma experts exchanging expertise year after year, is proof of the success of this niche meeting and the importance of international collaboration. Attendees benefited from a rich programme of state-of-the-art presentations from top pathologists, surgical oncologists, radiotherapists, medical oncologists and patient advocacy representatives from Europe and the US.

Rodent Extermination
Complete Environmental Services, operating under Complete Pest Control, have many years experience in Rodent Extermination. Not only are rats & mice a 'pest' to a lot of people, rodent control & extermination is essential to a lot of businesses around the UK.
Getting rid of rodents, or keeping rodents under control is just one of the services we offer at Complete Pest Control. Whether it is a one off call out, or as part of an annual pest control contract we can offer solutions to your rodent problem whether it is in the house, or on commercial property in Jarrow.
Rats are known carriers of a wide range of serious diseases transmittable to humans, these include Weil's disease, rat bite fever, cryptosporidiosis, viral hemorrhagic fever, Q fever and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. They also infest and ruin foodstuffs and cause serious structural damage to buildings, pipework and wiring systems by their constant gnawing. Rats gnawing electrical wires is a common cause of fires.
Do not think of mice as the nicer version of rats, they can carry the same diseases as rats and are much more likely to transmit these diseases due to their bolder and more inquisitive nature. In much the same way as rats, their constant gnawing causes structural damage to properties and damage to wires is a very real fire risk.
Rodent Prevention
We also operate Pest Control Contracts, which means we can ensure that your rodent extermination, or rodent control methods are updated on a regular basis. Each plan is different, so once we look into your rodent problem we will ensure that you are offered the best contract plan for your property and grounds.

Ohhh, I love pickles. I may even love certain vegetables more after being pickled, depending on my cheek puckering mood. Kraut, beets, peppers, onions, radishes – give 'em all to me. It's one of the preparations that so many ethnicities share while differing in the processes themselves.
Fortunately, it all doesn't have to be completely lost on us. Chicks with Knives will be hosting a "Pop-Up Pickle Shop" at the one and only Starry Kitchen in Downtown LA this upcoming Sunday, September 12th in the late morning.
It'll cost you just $5 for entry, which includes a cooking demo at 11 AM by the gals themselves, and you'll get the opportunity to apply what you've learned. Pickling mix ($2) and pickling kits ($20) will be available for purchase. And if learning to better consume pickles is what it's about (I'm raising my hand here), there are also a variety of pickles for sale ($6-8).
The complimentary apps and drinks that will be available during the Pop-Up Pickle Shop are reason enough:
- Pickle-Barrel Martini
- Golden Beet & Goat Cheese Bites
- Bacon-Jam Tartlettes
- Curried Asian Pear & Grilled Chicken Skewers
- Mini Mac n' Cheese with Fennel/Flower Pickles
Since there are limited quantities, I recommend getting there early. Just remember: These pickles are indeed "perishable" because these veggies aren't hot-processed nor canned and should be consumed within 2 weeks. Guess the canning workshop will have to wait.
Sunday, September 12, 2010

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, passed away this weekend from complications caused by recent heart surgery. He was 82 years old.
Armstrong was a quiet, modest man, whose accomplishments he always regarded as simply doing his job. Regardless, most view him as one of the greatest heroes in history.
Many astronauts have credited Armstrong with being their inspiration, and have taken to Twitter to express how much his contributions to history have affected them.
I know I am joined by millions of others in mourning Neil's passing – a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew.

I'm sad. Neil Armstrong, 1st on Moon, incredible astronaut, fantastic person has passed away. I was very impressed the few times I met him. — Christer (@CFuglesang) August 25, 2012
I'm grateful for this recent, one-hour interview w/ #NeilArmstrong. A man w/ so much to teach! thebottomline.cpaaustralia.com.au

As young girl watching #NeilArmstrong step on on the moon, the stars came a little bit closer & my world & expectations quite a bit larger — Dr. Mae Jemison (@maejemison) August 26, 2012
The astronaut family lost many this year, but each member contributed and lived so fully that ALL of the world has gained.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's volleyball team saw its season come to an end on Friday (Nov. 30) night as the Bulldogs fell to top-seeded Indianapolis by a 3-0 score in the semifinals of the 2012 NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Tournament at the Ruth Lily Center.
The host Greyhounds won the opening frame 25-23 and then pulled out a win in an exciting second set by a 30-28 score. In the final set, Indianapolis sealed the victory with a 25-17 triumph.
The Bulldogs concluded the 2012 campaign with a 24-8 overall record.
Senior middle hitter Anne Sutton paced the Bulldogs with a team-high 10 kills in her final collegiate match while senior setter Samantha Fordyce netted 30 assists in her last collegiate outing. Senior outside hitter Aly Brecht also played her last match and totaled 10 kills along with six digs while senior defensive specialist Paige Wyers contributed three digs in the loss and senior Brianna Grover had a service ace. Senior Lindsey Miller also had her career come to a close on Friday night.
The Greyhounds held a decisive edge in total kills with 50 compared to FSU's 35 on the night. Indianapolis also hit .220 for the match and limited FSU to a .168 attack percentage.
Besides the contributions from the senior class, the Bulldogs also received five kills and four digs from sophomore outside hitter Courtney Rehm while junior libero Brandie Merren posted 13 digs.
Indianapolis improved to 29-7 overall this season with its second win over the Bulldogs this year and will move on to face sixth-seeded Hillsdale in Saturday's (Dec. 1) regional final. It marked the second-straight campaign in which the Greyhounds knocked the Bulldogs out of the NCAA Tournament in the regional semifinal round.
The Greyhounds were paced by Kristina Kerrigan's match-high 17 kills. Brittany Anglemyer added 12 kills in the win while Meghan Binkerd posted 42 assists.
Indy also had four players each double-digits in digs with both Kerrigan and Amy Oldenburg leading the way with 14 each.
Ferris State posted 39 digs, 10 blocks and three aces, but also had eight service errors. On the Indianapolis side, the Greyhounds totaled 60 digs, five aces and three blocks with six service miscues.
Ferris State was making its 17th all-time NCAA Division II Tournament appearance and it was FSU's second consecutive trip to the regional tournament.
This season, the Bulldogs posted a 16-2 mark in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) standings as FSU came within a single victory of winning at least a share of a second-straight conference crown. This year also represented the program's 40th season of intercollegiate volleyball.

Nikhil Garth D'Rozario, former business head of India's DAR Media, has teamed with Gautam Thakkar of EveryMedia Technologies to start a boutique entertainment marketing agency.
EM2 provides full service marketing solutions (online and offline) for Indian movies, both in India and overseas. Its initial roster includes Tasher Desh (independent), Mickey Virus (DAR), Dolly Lahore Mein (DAR), D-Day (Nikhil Advani-DAR) and Ugly (Phantom Films).
D'Rozario, CEO of EM2, says that his experience at DAR Media revealed the need for more systematic and strategic marketing of films.
Combining EveryMedia's online marketing experience with his own offline experience, the agency will not only market films but also manage talent, spearhead the International Digital Film Festival in Delhi (Jan, 2013) and Mumbai (Feb, 2013) and manage entertainment events.
"A big star movie markets itself, but we believe we can add value to smaller budget movies without stars," said D'Rozario.
The strategy for marketing Tasher Desh, for example, is "to design activities around its essence – the expression of youth – by promoting the music and the concept."

Iglesias excited to be on fast track to Reds
Newly signed Cuban pitcher: 'The fans will like what I do'
CINCINNATI -- It took nearly two months for the visa paperwork to clear and for the Reds to get their latest Cuban signing, pitcher Raisel Iglesias, into the United States. Now that Iglesias is in the country, no time is being wasted to get him started on his path to the big leagues.
Iglesias, who was signed by the Reds on June 27 to a seven-year contract worth $27 million with a $5 million signing bonus, arrived in Miami from Haiti on Saturday. He spent a couple of days with his family and took in a Marlins game on Monday before arriving in Cincinnati on Tuesday.
Dressed sharply in a suit and sporting a wide smile, Iglesias met with the media on Tuesday afternoon in the Reds' dugout.
"I feel very happy that I'm already reaching my dream," Iglesias said, with agent Amauri Morel translating. "I'm happy that I'm here. I can't wait to put on a Cincinnati jersey and give 110 percent of myself."
Now that he's in the country, Iglesias was formally added to the Reds' 40-man roster since he was signed to a Major League contract. Triple-A Louisville outfielder Ryan LaMarre was designated for assignment to make room on the roster.
On Wednesday, Iglesias will be off to the team's player development complex in Goodyear, Ariz., to be evaluated and begin workouts.
A 24-year-old right-hander, Iglesias and his brother defected from Cuba in November after an unsuccessful attempt in September. He had been in Haiti working out for scouts, including representatives from the Reds, before he was eventually signed. Since joining Cincinnati, he has been watching its games and keeping up with the team.
Although Iglesias passed his physical for the Reds before signing, the club wants to get a more detailed evaluation of him in Arizona before determining his timetable for reaching the Majors.
"He'll still be doing light throwing and do more physical work, strength and balance, anything guys do when they first show up for Spring Training," said Bill Bavasi, the Reds' vice president of scouting and international operations. "I can't tell you how fast he's going to respond to what he's going to be put through. If he responds real well, then we have a lot of options, whether it's the [Arizona] Fall League or Puerto Rico. He's not going to be sitting around."
Iglesias did not believe it would take too long to get comfortable and be ready to pitch.
"I'm a person that gets ready pretty quickly," Iglesias said. "My body responds very quickly to the atmosphere."
Iglesias pitched three seasons for Isla de la Juventud in Cuba's Serie Nacional, the island's top baseball league. He also has international experience, including pitching as a reliever for the Cuban national team at the World Port Tournament in the Netherlands, and in this country during Cuba's five-game series against the U.S. college national team last summer.
That more recent experience has made being in the United States less daunting for Iglesias.
"I don't feel too uncomfortable," Iglesias said. "In the profession I have, your teammates become your family members. Sometimes, you don't spend time with your own family. I'm used to that already."
Among his new "family members" on the team are fellow Cubans Aroldis Chapman and Brayan Pena. Iglesias was familiar with Chapman, and he has been in communication with both players since signing.
"They've been giving me good advice. I feel very comfortable with them," Iglesias said. "It did help me out, because it's people from my home island. I feel very happy to be here with them. That makes me more comfortable here in Cincinnati."
Though many of the Major League teams that pursued Iglesias wanted him as a reliever, the Reds signed him with hopes he can become a starting pitcher. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, he has four pitches in his repertoire.
"When I went to the national team, they needed a reliever," Iglesias said. "If Cincinnati wants me [as a starter], I will do that role. Whatever it takes to help the team out."
Iglesias took a tour of Great American Ball Park and the clubhouse on Tuesday and liked the look of the place. Besides talking with Chapman, he also met manager Bryan Price.
"Nice young man," Price said. "I'm looking forward to getting him acclimated here. He seems to be very excited at the opportunity. We want to make sure he felt welcome. He's a part of the Reds family now. I'm looking forward to working with him. I think he's going to be a nice piece here in a relatively short period of time."
Iglesias also looked forward to returning soon to pitch for the Reds.
"I've always wanted to play in the Major Leagues because I used to watch it on videos," Iglesias said. "I feel very happy, because I would love to get on top of a mound in the big leagues and pitch. The fans will like what I do."

Warm Summer Memory
watching the sunset over the valley from my porch before he left for training.
Warm Summer Memory
His soft brown eyes assure me that everything will be alright.
My eyes wander back to the golden sun setting over the distant
mountains, as the florescent hue blankets the valley below.
The cotton from the trees dances in the sun's warmth as his words
dance in my ears, and the distant trees whisper as we drift away on the
steady soothing sound of the creaking porch swing.
The warm summer breeze caresses my hair as his arms find their way
around my body.
Warm and alive,I have never felt so content. The scent of summer
flowers lingers on the air, as I think to myself,
"I hope this moment never ends."
But all good things must end, even if only for a little while,
and I know that we will always dwell there in my memory, until once again,
his soft brown eyes assure me that everything will be alright.
I love you PFC Landon!!

From the Huntingdon College Office of Communications
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Huntingdon College President J. Cameron West announced today that Huntingdon will join the NCAA-Division III USA South Athletic Conference beginning in the fall of 2013. Huntingdon and Covenant College (Ga.) were approved as members at a meeting of the USA South presidents yesterday. Current USA South members are Averett University (Va.), Ferrum College (Va.), Greensboro College (N.C.), Mary Baldwin College (Va.), Meredith College (N.C.), Methodist University (N.C.), N.C. Wesleyan College (N.C.), William Peace University (N.C.), and the conference's newest members, LaGrange College (Ga.), Piedmont College (Ga.), and Maryville College (Tenn.).
"We have now achieved the institutional goal of becoming part of an NCAA-Division III conference that will enable our athletic teams to participate in conference championship competition leading to qualification for NCAA post-season play," said West. "We have aligned ourselves with a group of institutions who share our values and with whom we already have competitive relationships in many sports. The recent expansion of the USA South into Georgia and Tennessee, and now its expansion into Alabama, strengthens an already strong conference and gives it a broad Division III Southeastern identity," West continued.
"This is a great day for Huntingdon College," said head football coach Mike Turk, speaking on behalf of the athletic department in the absence of athletic director Buzz Phillips, who has accompanied the women's softball team to NCAA post-season competition in Texas. "And when I say that, I really mean for Huntingdon College, as well as for the football program. We are thrilled to join the USA South. Huntingdon student-athletes have played for many years with limited opportunities in most sports for NCAA post-season competition. Membership in this conference will increase Huntingdon's visibility with prospective student-athletes and will offer new possibilities for our entire athletic program."
"We are excited to welcome Huntingdon College to the USA South," said USA South Athletic Conference Commissioner Rita Wiggs in a prepared statement from the Conference. "Their strong academic profile and commitment to the Division III philosophy for their athletic program makes them a perfect fit for our Conference. Their programs will strengthen and enhance the competition of our league. We look forward to the future with Huntingdon College as a full partner in athletic competition and the development of well-rounded student-athletes."
USA South President's Council chair Jim Gray, president of North Carolina Wesleyan College, said, "We are delighted to have Huntingdon College join the USA South. They share our values for academics and good sportsmanship in addition to their athletic competitiveness. As a whole, Huntingdon is comparative with the standards and the level of play we currently have in the USA South. We feel like the addition makes the Conference strong and growing and that's the place we want to be."
Huntingdon fields teams in men's baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, and track & field; and in women's basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field, and volleyball. The College has competed in the NCAA-Division III Great South Athletic Conference since 2002. The USA South Athletic Conference will accommodate conference championship competition for most of Huntingdon's intercollegiate athletic teams, including football. Track & field, men's lacrosse, and women's golf will remain as independents at this time.
Huntingdon College has a 158-year commitment to nurturing growth in faith, wisdom, and service and to graduating individuals prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing world. The words, "Faith, Wisdom, Service," appear on the College logo, encapsulating the College's motto, "Enter to grow in wisdom; go forth to apply wisdom in service," which is engraved in stone above the door of Huntingdon's historic Flowers Hall.

I was lucky enough, or maybe stupid enough, to be in the front row for the Sunday, October 3rd show at the Boston Garden. The concept of stupidity is related to the price of my seats.
I must admit up front that The Wall has been my favorite album for many, many years. If I had to guess what album I've listened to the second most times in my life, I'm not sure what it would be. But, there's no doubt that I've listened to to The Wall more times than any other album.
At first, I wasn't even going to go. From Pink Floyd, it was only Roger Waters in this show. In the 1990s, I'd seen the rest of Pink Floyd in Oakland, and it was a really good show, but without Roger Waters, it wasn't really Pink Floyd. And, despite the fact that The Wall is really Roger's album, it still wouldn't be Pink Floyd. But then, I read an article/interview about the tour in Rolling Stone, and the next thing I knew, I wanted to go.
Being the all or nothing type of person that I am, I decided that if I was going, I wanted good seats. After all, in some ways, I'd been waiting 30 years for this show. I looked around the internet for tickets in either Montreal or Boston. I found out that the third and last show in Boston still had front row tickets available, but for quite a premium.
Before this show, the most money I'd ever spent for a concert ticket was $95 to see CSNY right after Neil Young released Living With War. That show was worth the money. But, this show was going to be 3.5 times as expensive if I wanted to sit in the front row. And, I had to buy two tickets. Even if I was stupid enough to spend almost $350 for a concert ticket, I still needed to find someone else that stupid.
Luckily, one of my skiing buddies (I'll only use his initial here, which sounds a lot like his name), J, was just the guy I was looking for. An ex-college roommate (and best man at my wedding), who happens to live near Boston, offered to put us up for the night after the show. And then, he got us some great seats to see the Yankees play the Red Sox on the last day of the regular season. Suddenly, this day was getting really expensive. And really memorable, even before it happened.
After the baseball game, J and I got some food with my friends from Boston and then we headed to the Boston Garden. We got our tickets and headed inside. When we got to our seats, I was amazed. It really was the front row. I kept worrying that I'd misunderstood and paid a fortune for a seat in the front row of the back section. But, the stage was right there in front of us.
There wasn't a whole lot to the stage at the start - the big circular screen in the center, the instruments for the band, and the beginnings of the wall to the left and the right.
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about the show itself. The band was excellent, although it seems like it took at least three people to replace David Gilmour between his guitar work and his vocals. The vocalist did a great job though.
Musically, the show was very true to the album, with a few additions and some changed lyrics. There were some clear messages during the show that weren't necessarily part of the original album or at least weren't as big a part of the album. There are many references to the stupidity of war, and some icons on the screen (red icons dropping from a plane, apparently as bombs, but shaped as religious and corporate icons) blaming religion and corporatism for wars. There were many messages about NOT trusting the government ("Mother, should I trust the government?" "Hell No!").
And, as the first set progressed, the Wall was gradually being built. Some highlights of the first set included the pyrotechnics after In the Flesh. The final burst sent a wave a intense heat right to our seats. Giant "puppets" appeared for Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2, and of course, the Mother puppet during Mother. One of the coolest things was the exact timing of the construction of the Wall. As each brick was put in place, the constant animation that was projecting on the wall would be expanded to the newest brick. The timing of everything was very precise.
At times, brief obituaries were shown for soldiers and civilians - some who had died in WWII, and others who have died more recently in Iraq or Afghanistan or even London. As the first set neared its close, the wall was completed and we went to an intermission. During the intermission, the wall was covered with more brief obituaries:
The third side of the album (yeah, I'm old) might have been the least interesting, in some respects. Yet, it contained a lot of animation and film on the wall, with mostly Roger singing in front of the Wall while his band was behind the Wall. It's not that I don't like the music. I love it. But after the theatrics of the first set, this was kind of tame.
The most poignant moment of the entire night was during Bring the Boys Back Home. A film was projected on the Wall that showed what appeared to be an American girl in her school classroom. She had a look on her face that can't even be described - something either amazing or horrible had rendered her absolutely speechless and incapable of emotion. Finally, she stands up and runs across the room to hug a soldier, presumably her father. This scene had me on the verge of tears, mostly for how emotional it was, but also because it reminded me of all of those reunions that never have taken place. The never-ending cost of war in terms of human lives remains unfathomable to me. Some live. Some die. Everyone suffers, it seems, except the people who make the decisions. But, enough of that subject.
The third side of the album ends with Comfortably Numb, just an amazing song. It was done by Roger Waters in front of the Wall with the David Gilmour replacement above the wall on some scaffolding. At least that's how I think it was done; it was hard to see from where we were.
On the fourth side of the album, thing get a little weird. The Waters character, Pink, has a meltdown of sorts, perhaps a psychotic episode, and believes he is performing in some neo-Nazi type of band. Regretfully, my few pictures of this sequence didn't come out too well. My friend J has some good photos from this part that I might add later. At this point, the band formed in front of the wall, as the "surrogate band" for Pink, who the audience is told isn't well. It all went down like some sort of musical Nazi rally - a very important part of the show, and a connection to the death of Roger's father in WWII while Roger was a child. This all takes place in 3 songs - In the Flesh (part 2 - the same, yet different, song that opened the show), Run Like Hell (Roger claimed this was for all the paranoid people in the audience) and Waiting for the Worms. Run Like Hell is one of the better known songs from the album and is a great follow-on to In the Flesh, part 2.
At this point in the show, I have to admit that I was feeling kind of sad. The show had been great, but it was almost over. Only 3 songs to go, with one of them painfully short. In the first song, Stop, Pink decides that maybe hiding behind the Wall wasn't the best decision. Adultery, overbearing teachers and mothers, the loss of his father, and the success of his band, which pushes him to large impersonal arena shows, have been too much for him. But, maybe some spark of humanity remains, and in Stop, the possibility is suggested: "I wanna go home; take off this uniform and leave the show".
Then, comes the climax of the show - the Trial, with the Judge, and testimony from the teacher, the mother and all of the other characters in the story. If Pink had had his doubts about the Wall, the verdict took care of that for him: "Tear Down the Wall!" There were some amazing graphics through this part of the show, and then suddenly, the wall toppled towards the audience. Security guards protected people in the first few rows by deflecting cardboard "bricks".
And then, just the denouement - the band in front of the exploded wall, singing a short but simple song that ends with the phrase "After all it's not easy, banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall". The band took their bows and filed offstage.
So, was it a good show? A great show? I say yes on both accounts. But, I'm biased. It's my favorite album of all time and an amazing band played it really well. Roger's voice is still quite good and he has assembled a great team to play the music and to stage the show. It is an amazing experience - the story itself, the construction and destruction of the wall, the use of video and other effects - just amazing.
I'd gladly see it again. I think any Pink Floyd fan who didn't hate the Wall (and there were quite a few of them) should see the show. In the story/interview in Rolling Stone, there were comments that this might be it for Roger and touring. This isn't just a concert. It's a show. An amazing spectacle. And, it was worth every penny I paid for it.

Kilby's Chevy's Winding Road to Recovery
It's no lie when you hear folks talk about how it's easier to just buy the truck you want, and 86 the idea of taking on a build. The truth of the matter is many get over zealous when taking on a project, and it's not too long before they realize that they have bitten off more than they can chew. The reality is it's quite a feat to actually finish a build. Even more of an accomplishment is how this '50 Chevy came to be.
A few years back Jessica Kilby and her husband Scott embarked on a dream build. They kicked things off by purchasing this '50 Chevy, and then followed things up by accumulating parts. Before too long there were truck parts in the garage, the attic, the laundry room, the cupboards and any other vacant spot around the house! As fate would have it, Scott passed away unexpectedly and as one would imagine, Jessica was a bit lost, especially about what to do with the truck. Yet, she decided it was only fitting that the Chevy be finished as Scott had planned. Enlisting the help of her father Ross, and Way Cool Rod Shop, the build was back on.
With the parts rounded up and dropped off at Way Cool Rod Shop, the crew planned the next wave of attack. They decided to stick with the S-10 donor chassis, but first a few new additions were needed. The first order of business was to box the chassis. Next, Way Cool outfitted the chassis with a set of two-inch drop spindles and lowering springs to achieve the right stance. The stock disc brakes were tossed for a set of high-performance Aerospace Components disc brakes, and the Chevy's steering is taken care of via a new Flaming River rack-and-pinion. With the front buttoned up concentration was centered towards the rear. A '79 Chevy truck 12-bolt with an Auburn posi-trac and Aerospace disc brakes was relocated under the Chevy using a set of lowering blocks, leaf springs and a new Panhard bar. Situated behind the rearend is a new stainless steel fuel cell. Luckily for Jessica, her father Ross stepped in to aid in the build. Even luckier is the fact Ross owns Gilbert Automotive, which played a key part in getting the Chevy up and running. The guy's at Gilbert Automotive rustled up a '71 350 block with four-bolt mains, which was punched .30-over. A set of TRW 9.5:1 pistons and rings were stuffed inside for horsepower. Rounding out the bottom end of the block is a Comp Cams 3/4 race bumpstick. The top end of the engine consists of a set of Edelbrock heads, a Professional Products intake manifold and an Edelbrock Street Series 600-cfm carburetor. The 350 is iced with a set of Billet Specialties valve covers, and a March Performance serpentine system and air cleaner. Resting behind the 350 is a 700-R4 transmission with an ATI 2500-stall converter and a Cool-It inline tranny cooler. Shifting is made possible with the addition of a B&M shifter.
Jessica wanted the exterior of the truck to represent the style of the Harley Earle days of GM, however, she also wanted things to look different from the others. Way Cool started off Jessica's plan by refining such objects as trim, cowl vents, badges and the like. From there they moved onto filing the hood seam and widening the rear fenders 2½ inches. Behind the fenders, the entire rearend was reworked. The tailgate was shaved clean, new latches and links were installed, and the bumper was replaced with a custom roll pan that houses a set of '96 Cadillac taillights. Featured in the roll pan is a frenched license plate insert and exhaust outlets. The stunning two-toned green persona of the truck is the result of pearl and custom mixed Chrysler greens laid down by Dink at Way Cool. Breaking up all the green is a multicolored layout. Just as exotic as the paint is the African mahogany bed wood, and custom running boards. Although some of the metal tweaks were for looks, others served a purpose such as the rear fenders; they were widened to accommodate the Billet Specialties Dagger billet rollers 18x8s and 20x12s, wrapped in Mickey Thompson 16×34 and 10×28 rubber.
Inside the cab of the Kilby Chevy is 100 percent originality. Every panel, bracket, knob, seat, console . . . I think you get the picture, is the brain child of either Jessica, Ross, Way Cool, or upholsterer Roger Hoover. Beginning with the metal, Way Cool smoothed the dash, installed several custom consoles and then painted the interior to match the scheme of the exterior. A new polished Flaming River column with a Billet Specialties wheel is incorporated into the dash as well. Hanging below the dash is a custom brake and gas pedal outfitted with billet pads. The seats were pirated from a late-model Jeep and upholstered in Beige Ostrich and tan leather. The door panels, floorboards, headliner, and more are entirely one-off custom pieces designed for the Chevy. In the end, the combination of the three parties pulled off more than Jessica's wildest dreams had ever imagined. CCT

Few scientists have thought more deeply about the nature of their calling and its impact on humanity than Max Perutz (19142002). Born in Vienna, Jewish by descent, lapsed Catholic by religion, he came to Cambridge in 1936 to join the lab of the legendary Communist thinker J.D. Bernal. There he began to explore the structures of the molecules that hold the secret of life. In 1940, he was interned and deported to Canada as an enemy alien, only to be brought back and set to work on a bizarre top secret war project. In 1947, he founded the small research group in which Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the structure of DNA: under his leadership it grew to become the worldfamous Laboratory for Molecular Biology. Max himself explored the protein hemoglobin and his work, which won him a Nobel Prize in 1962, launched a new era of medicine, heralding todays astonishing advances in the genetic basis of disease.
Max Perutzs story, wonderfully told by Georgina Ferry, brims with life. It has the zest of an adventure novel and is full of extraordinary characters. Max was demanding, passionate and driven but also humorous, compassionate and loving. Small in stature, he became a fearless mountain climber; drawing on his own experience as a refugee, he argued fearlessly for human rights; he could be ruthless but had a talent for friendship. An articulate and engaging advocate of science, he found new problems to engage his imagination until weeks before he died aged 88.
About the author: Georgina Ferry is a former staff editor on New Scientist, and contributor to BBC Radio 4s Science Now. Her books include the acclaimed biography Dorothy Hodgkin: A Life (1998); The Common Thread (2002, with Sir John Sulston); and A Computer Called LEO (2003). She lives in Oxford.
Ferry succeeds in bringing [Perutz] sharply to life....[she] avoids the pop-psychology that permeates so many modern biographies, while offering insight into Perutzs temperament and behaviour.
Gregory A. Petsko, Brandeis University (Nature)
Ferry does a superb job of using the correspondence, archival sources, interviews, and other traditional tools of biography writing...Teachers of undergraduates will treasure [this book] for the rich coverage of the birth of molecular biology and the circumstances that made it possible.
The Quarterly Review of Biology
Perutz made a wise choice when he chose to invite Georgina Ferry to write his life. The result is an engaging, beautifully written book deserving a place on the shelf of everyone who likes to read about science and scientists.
Ferry takes Perutzs career through to the end of his life with his work on the amyloid associated with Alzheimers disease. Whether dealing with personal matters or explaining the science, Ferry handles the subject matter with ease and clarity.
Georgina Ferry has written a superb biography of one of the most influential and likable figures of modern science, Max Perutz of Cambridge University...In places the book reads like a novel, but its facts are always correct...Ferry does a magnificent job of expressing the doubts, difficulties, and uncertainty of Max Perutz's life...Unreservedly recommended!
Protein Science
Ferry continues to shine as a first-rate science writer with this new biography.
In 2002, Georgina Ferry, author of an acclaimed biography of Nobel laureate Dorothy Hodgkin, was called to the bedside of the dying 88-year-old Max Perutz, a former friend and colleague of Hodgkins.His request was simple do for him what she had done for Hodgkin. The result is Max Perutz and the secret of life, a thoroughly engaging account of the birth of molecular biology as told through the life story of one of its most enigmatic founders...
[T]his is a wonderful book, effectively presenting a complex man in a complex time and reminding us that unusual career training pathways, scientific rigor, and collaborative transdisciplinary science are not new ideas of the 21st century.
The Journal of Clinical Investigation
Biographies that are most apt to appeal to physicians offer a coherent and accurate account of the subjects contributions to medicine, along with insights into his or her character and personality. Georgina Ferry amply fulfills these criteria in her account of the life of Max Perutz, the Nobel laureate who worked out the structure of hemoglobin and the chemical basis of its physiological properties. Her lively narrative draws us into the world of high-powered science, with its triumphs, frustrations, and foibles.
The New England Journal of Medicine
...an evenhanded look at the achievements of one of the greats of 20th-century science.
Chemical & Engineering News
A biographer, it seems to me, walks a fine line: he or she needs to be truthful, enthusiastic and selective without suppressing, inventing or distorting the individual whose life is under scrutiny. He or she must allow his or her readers to feel, as well as to understand, the passions, foibles and idiosyncrasies that made his or her subject a person while dealing with family members and intimates who might object to a biography on the grounds that its nobodys business. On all counts, Ferrys beautifully written book meets and passes the test with flying colors...
In telling the story of this admirable man and exceptional scientist, Ferry has succeeded in making her subject live again for the reader.
Nature Medicine
[A]n engaging read. Ferry freely steps back in time with almost every chapter to develop a particular theme. The result is an insightful look at Perutzs life and work and the role he played in what was arguably the most productive collaboration of scientists in twentieth-century molecular biology.
Bulletin for the History of Chemistry
As a much larger-than-life character, [Perutz] left lasting imprints on many colleagues whom Ferry interviewed to round out her story. Despite the complexities of Maxs personality and his eccentricities (most of which centred, curiously in view of his robust health, on his physical health and diet), she avoids any hint of psychobiography and presents a relatively straightforward account of this remarkable man, whose career played out against the momentous events of the twentieth century.

Wallabies bet on Barnes to spark attack
Berrick Barnes will be key to sparking the Wallabies attack when he is named in the starting line up to take on England at Twickenham this weekend.
Barnes ran at fullback during Australia's first full training session in London on Tuesday and appears to be coach Robbie Deans's preferred option over Mike Harris for Saturday's Test match.
The hope is his presence on the pitch and connection with five-eighth Kurtley Beale and centre Pat McCabe will help the Wallabies attack click into gear after a stilted showing against France.
There is less certainty about Digby Ioane, who declared himself fit to start but ran in opposition for the majority of training, with Nick Cummins continuing on the wing with Adam Ashley-Cooper.
The pair swapped over towards the end of the session and Ioane spent extra time practising under the high ball and chasing grubber kicks before finishing in deep conversation with Deans.
Ben Alexander appears to be in line for the starting tight head position in the front row after recovering from a wrist injury, sending Sekope Kepu back to the bench alongside James Slipper. Loose head Benn Robinson pulled out of training early after appearing to hurt his knee, but
it's believed he's not in danger of missing the match.
Imposing lock Sitaleki Timani also ran with the team and appears to be in line to regain the starting second row spot beside Wallabies captain Nathan Sharpe, while flanker Michael Hooper has been assured of starting in the absence of David Pocock, who is nursing a calf strain.
The make up of the rest of the back row and bench is in limbo after the loss of lock Kane Douglas to a knee complaint and Rob Simmons's upcoming appearance before the citing commissioner for a lifting tackle on France flanker Yannick Nyanga.
Simmons's case will be heard via video conference very early on Thursday morning, Australian eastern time.
Likely team: Berrick Barnes, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Ben Tapuai, Pat McCabe, Nick Cummins/Digby Ioane, Kurtley Beale, Nick Phipps, Wycliff Palu, Michael Hooper, Dave Dennis, Nathan Sharpe (c), Sitaleki Timani, Ben Alexander, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Benn Robinson.

La Verne Cool Cruise - Web Exclusive
Kevin Leewriter
I was able to break away from coloring Easter eggs for a couple of hours and swing out to old town La Verne to check out the Cool Cruise (benefitting the Loma Linda Veterans Hospital) this past Saturday. The show has grown into quite an event and takes over a large portion of the downtown area. A thousand or so cars were lined up and down the streets and when show-goers wanted a break from the cars they were able to browse many of the local shops. I grabbed a bite to eat in a pretty good burger joint while still hearing some of the live music from the stage.

Information by Country
Iraq: Background
- Nearly one in four children aged between six and twelve do not attend school 31.2 per cent of girls and 17.5 per cent of boys.
- Girls and women are facing a major learning gap. There has been a sharp decline in adult female literacy and nearly twice as many girls as boys are out of school.
- The rate of acute malnutrition among children has dropped from a high of 11 per cent in 1996 to 4 per cent this year. However, close to 1 million children under the age of five suffer from chronic malnutrition.
- Infant mortality today (107 deaths per 1,000 live births) is more than double what it was at the end of the 1980s. The under-five mortality rate (131 deaths per 1,000 live births) is two-and-a-half times what it was in 1989.
- Preventable illnesses such as diarrhoea and respiratory infections account for 70 per cent of child deaths.
- The water supply system was heavily compromized during the 1990s. Restoration work is underway, but children and women are still exposed to water-related health hazards on a daily basis. Safe drinking water is a nation-wide problem and cases of diarrhoea have increased from an average of 3.8 episodes per child/year in 1990 to nearly 15 episodes per by 1996. During the same period, typhoid fever increased from 2,240 to over 27,000 cases.
- There is an increase in the number of children at work, as well as in the number of orphans needing state assistance which existing institutions are unable to provide.
- There has been a sharp increase in maternal mortality because women are not getting emergency obstetric care for complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

I woke this morning, turned on the TV to ABC News 24, and saw a caption at bottom of screen which read 'gunman dead'. Having, probably like most Australians, stayed up late watching events unfold before succumbing to sleep, at first I felt relief – did these mean the hostages were OK? But the full caption was obscured by an image from the scene – within seconds I saw that two others had been killed: 38-year-old barrister and mother of three Katrina Dawson and 34-year-old Lindt Chocolate Café store manager Tori Johnson.
In the wake of the tragedy and devastation of the Sydney Siege this morning, represented in an unending tribute of flowers for the loss of Dawson and Johnson, many are asking how Man Haron Monis, with a string of violent offences, including 50 sexual assault charges and being charged in November 2013 with being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and mother of two Noleen Hayson Pal (who was stabbed and set alight) was out on bail.
A Change petition has been launched calling on NSW Mike Baird to toughen bail laws. Please support it.
Sydney siege gunman should have been in jail. We demand stronger bail laws
Sarah LangstonSydney, NSW
After the #sydneysiege we have learnt this man was let out on bail after facing accessory to murder charges and about 40 sexual assault charges.
Bail laws were meant to have been changed already, but "administrative bungles" have stalled them until late January. That's not good enough. We need stronger bail laws that would have kept this dangerous man behind bars right now.
'All these women might still be alive if their killers had not been paroled' is a column I wrote two years ago about women who were killed at the hands of men out on parole. No, the tragedy we have just witnessed isn't just about women of course. But the issue of bail and early parole is relevant in that Man Haron Monis was returned to society, with all its privileges, enabling him to plot his next brutal (and fatal) path.
The actions of Tori Johnson, who was fatally shot in the Martin Place siege while trying to disarm the hostage-taker, allowing others to escape, are a deeply moving antidote to the behaviour of men like Man Haron Monis and those I wrote about. Thank you Tori for reminding us of what good men look like.
Violence against women is a public safety issue: violence begets violence
Man Haron Monis was awaiting trial for the murder of his ex-wife: Why was he granted bail?
Lucia Osborne-Crowley
The comment made by the magistrate who granted Monis bail the first time – for the accessory to murder charge – is telling. He said Monis is not a threat to public safety because the only person he posed a threat to was his deceased ex-wife. This assumption that Monis' violence was limited to one woman and one situation denies a proven connection between violence against women and a series of other issues of public safety. It underlines an assumption that men who are violent towards women are not necessarily violent men.
It underestimates the reality that violence against women is, itself, a public safety issue.
We have long understood that violence begets violence, but what we somehow can't understand is that violence against women is no different. Read full article
