Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jeff Cassar
On the importance of scoring early in the match:
"It's huge, to kind of take the crowd out of the game, things like that. But it was a special play. We talked about being positive with our passing, it was just an unbelievable start to the game."
On getting the franchise's first win in Houston:
"Yeah, I mean it's memorable. I'm already starting to think about our next game right now. But I am really happy for the guys. This was our first game in the heat and I thought we dealt with it really well. There's some things that we can work on still but it's good to get that little monkey off our back and getting three points is most important."
On Houston's start to the second half:
"I was a little worried there for a little bit. I thought the passes were out there to complete. We kind of made a couple weird choices. But then I think we settled down a little bit and started to re-control the game and kill it off."
On GK Nick Rimando's penalty save:
"It was massive, massive. You know and that's what Nicky does for us; just when things could maybe turn for the worst Nicky makes one of those big saves that wakes everybody back up, and he did that again tonight"
How much did the red card change the game?
"I thought it almost helped them a little bit there at the end, you know? For a period of time the urgency from them was higher than the urgency from ours. I think that was a problem as we kind of got a little bit relaxed thinking we were up a man, up a goal and Houston turned it up and it took a little bit for us to regain control, but I thought we did the last 25 minutes of that game."
Real Salt Lake MF Javier Morales
On if you've ever scored a goal that fast:
"No I haven't, that was quick. I think we started pretty focused, and we took chances. I think that was great for us."
On if you expected to get a goal so quickly:
"No, you don't expect to score a goal in the first 20 seconds, but we do expect to win the game. We start to push forward in the beginning of the game, and we go two goals. We had the penalty kick, and another goal."
On getting a first-ever win in Houston:
"Finally you know? This is the first time we've won here. It's hot and humid, and tough to play here. So we're really happy."
On the team's momentum going forward with guys leaving for World Cup camps:
"We are deep, we have a deep team, and we have a couple guys who have been waiting for the opportunity to play. It is going to be tough, because we are losing the captain, our top scorer, and our goalkeeper. We have to deal with that, and they're going to the World Cup. We wish the best to them, but now we have to focus on us, and try to keep winning games."
On if you have the deepest team in Major League Soccer:
"I don't know, I mean I hope so. If we are, we have to show it. We have to show that to everyone, and Saturday we have a chance to play a good team against Colorado. I hope that we can prove that."
On scoring first-ever hat trick:
"Never as a professional. Even in the low divisions I never had one. This was my first time, but I'm happy. I'm always happy to score a goal, but I think I needed it. Those three goals came when I really needed it."
Real Salt Lake GK Nick Rimando
On what's going through your mind when defending a penalty kick:
"Yeah I mean just making the save, and trying to read the player as much as I can. I thought Brad [Davis] was going to take it, and I've gone against him a couple times. I think he knew that, so I knew where he goes, and how he likes to switch it up. When [Giles Barnes] took it, he went hard to my right, and low instead of high. Just stay big, and react to it. It felt good because 3-2 is a different game going in there than 3-1 going into the locker room."
On the penalty save being a momentum swing:
"Yeah it's a big one. We came in here fortunate not to be up only one, if not tied, because they had some chances. That two [goal] cushion is always dangerous, but we went in there, and they had a good pep talk because they came at us. When we switch the formation that's when we got the ball again. They got another goal, then the momentum was with them. All in all it was good to go up by two goals. Especially here because we seem to have a hard time closing out games or getting results here."
On what he told the defense when Houston came with pressure in the second half:
"Just to play. We weren't playing like we did in the first half. They were playing better with a man down than when they had 11 guys on the field. We just couldn't get the ball moving. There wasn't a lot of movement, and it's tough for the guys who aren't used to playing in this heat. They haven't seen that this year, and in the second half there wasn't a lot of movement, and we weren't sharp. We have to be sharp especially against a team like Houston."
On Morales' quick goal, and the momentum from it:
"That was the fastest goal I've ever seen. It doesn't surprise me with the way Javier [Morales] sees the ball. The way Sabo trapped the ball, and the movement in the first half. He does that in practice a lot where he'll act like he's going to hit it hard, and then do that. Never on me though."
Real Salt Lake MF Kyle Beckerman
On the impact of the quick goal being on the road:
"I think anytime you can go up two early it gets the fans going against them, and boosts our confidence. It was a huge start to the game for sure. It's something you can build off of after a start like that."
On Houston's energy in the second half being down a man:
"I think it comes down to when they are attacking five to seven the numbers become even. We needed to be better on the ball I think. This weather does do a number on us, we're not used to it. Credit to them I think they brought a lot of energy, and they weren't just going to lay down and lose."
On the play of Javier Morales:
"When you score a goal like that, and scoring then getting assists, that's our guy. That's what he's on our team for. That's who Javi is, and it was a great game for him. One that's exciting for the fans of Real Salt Lake, because he can do special things."
On the penalty kick save:
"Yeah it was huge. It's something that we feel like we have a good chance that Nick [Rimando] is going to save it. It was huge to keep that two goal lead. Going into halftime with that was big for us. Nick is always huge for us."
Real Salt Lake MF Ned Grabavoy
Thoughts on the match:
"A lot of big moments in the first half, to kind of change momentum both ways. It's kind of like both teams were pulling back and forth a little bit to gain the tempo, and control the game. It's a great win, but we don't sit here and think that we haven't won here before or past game here. It's a different year, and a different game. We feel like we can go anywhere in this league and win games."
On the play of Nick Rimando:
"Yeah he makes really big plays. He makes big saves, to keep games where they are. I think it would be tough to argue that, that play wasn't the biggest play of the game. To keep us with the lead, but to also keep them chasing the game. The game obviously changed big time with the red card. It's a good result, but I don't think we played particularly well in certain circumstances. We calmed down towards the end of the game. Still plenty of things to work on, but we're picking up points, and that's the important thing."
On Houston pressuring in the second half:
"Everyone is going to look and say they're a man up, but when the ball gets to a certain part of the field you may not be up a man. We're playing thinking to ourselves, we're a man up, we're a man up, but realistically they're pushing guys forward. The whole second half was basically two v. two. Their two center backs, and our two forwards, and they had both outside backs pushing towards the midfield. The game at certain points of the second half felt like it was even. I thought we did a good job of swinging it back our way, we switched formations and that seemed to calm us down a little bit. Then obviously we tuck some chances away towards the end that just kills them.
Houston Dynamo
Houston Dynamo Head Coach Dominic Kinnear
Thoughts on the match:
"Disappointing day, obviously got off to the worst possible start that first minute there and then it kind of went downhill from there. We were a little sloppy coming out of the gate, but we fought our way back into it greatly and just took a chance going forward the last 20 minutes there. I would love to have a couple subs to put on some fresh legs but we didn't have that possibility and they caught us in a counter a couple times. So, really happy for Mark [Sherrod], I think scored two good goals for us had a great debut but overall, yeah, it's a bummer."
On the effort of the team:
"I think they did a lot on the field. I mean there's some tired people in there you know, tired minds and tired bodies. The chat we had just said the effort they put in doesn't surprise me because they show that pretty much all the time and I mean they do show it all the time. It's just we are making some mistakes now that they're getting punished for. But Corey [Ashe], David [Horst] and all the guys, I mean everyone tries hard for this team, I think we all know that. There's a lot of tired guys in there that gave it their all. We just kind of got caught being sloppy in a couple plays."
What happened with the first goal?
"We have to give Morales credit. I mean it's a great goal by him. He put it pretty much where he wanted to put it. It takes good skill to do that, especially first touch of the game. Obviously the ball bounced to midfield and bounced in their favor and I don't think we were close enough to some people. I give Morales credit for that, but I don't think he should have a wide-open look with 20 seconds on the board."
Were you surprised at the pressure you put on at the start of the second half?
"Not really, because they were content to sit back and try and counter. We talked about it and said to the guys 'hey we are going go out conservative formation-wise but try to be as aggressive as possible with our play.' So we were creating chances, we were getting a lot of the ball, but they were sitting in and just trying to keep their shape it seemed to me—I don't know what their plan was, I'm not in their locker room. I thought we were playing well, we were moving the ball really well we were asking outside backs to take chances going forward and so with good ball movement we were getting some good possession that's where I think our chances came from."
Is RSL one of the toughest teams to keep the ball against down 10 men?
"Any team is tough; you know what I mean? They possess the ball well, it didn't help that it was hot and humid, third game of the week. We were down for a man for about 63 minutes, which is tough in any league and I think at any level. They know how to move the ball around, they're pretty smart with their play but at 3-2 I think they were a little bit scared of us, too."
What is set-up to designate penalty takers?
"Guys practice in practice. Giles [Barnes] took one against Chivas two games ago, so he felt confident going up; there you have it. We don't have a competition in practice to see who our penalty kicker is. But you know there's a handful of guys you look and go 'okay we feel confident with that guy' and since Giles took the last one I felt confident, so he's the one to step up and take it. Brad [Davis] is a captain and he's the one that kind of takes control of that, so that's kind of the process. I don't have it written on the board, the guys all kind of decide who the guys are that are going to step up and take it."
Houston Dynamo FW Mark Sherrod
Thoughts on your first start, scoring two goals:
"It was great and everything to get a goal, obviously I would have loved to have gotten a victory as well. I thought people fought really hard."
What was going through your head when you scored that first goal?
"A lot of emotions. It's been a dream since I was a little kid—honestly I can't really explain it that much."
Memories from the game?
"It was good to get a goal. I've been dreaming of being able to play since forever ago and then to step on and get a goal was fantastic, so I was really happy."
Houston Dynamo GK Tally Hall
Positives from the match?
"I guess there's a shed of light in today's game. We were backs against the wall, we played well and we gave it everything we had. I wish I could have handled the fourth goal a little bit better to give the team a chance because I think we are knocking at their door and to give up a fourth is a killer for us, that's obviously on me. But now that we were up against it today and our response was good and gave it everything we had and at the end of the game. Most of the guys could barely walk and that says a lot about our character even when things aren't going well."
On lessons learned from the first half:
"More than anything else is you have to you have to focus, because when you are focused in you give yourself an advantage when you are focused. You don't have to play well sometimes, but you just have to focus. The second goal I think is a lack of focus. It's a free header and a free man in the box. That's not having a good game, that's not having a bad game that's a focus issue and that is a specific point. I think in general if you look at it I think it was a team thing. That's on us as players. I think we were prepared well and then we got to the field and I just felt we didn't have that edge, at least in the first half, because in the second half we were down a man and playing against one of the best teams in the league and I felt like—until that fourth goal—this thing's actually going to happen. I believed 100% that we were going to come back and we were going to get a result out of that game that's how good the guys were fighting. We just have to put two halves together."

Hertz Partners With Transworld Company To Grow Outbound Car Rentals From Kuwait
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 21, 2013 10:40 AM
- New GSA appointment to boost outbound travel trade as USA and Europe top list of global destinations for Hertz Kuwait customers in 2012
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ) has today announced the appointment of Transworld Company as its General Sales Agent (GSA) in Kuwait to grow outbound car rental reservations to more than 8,800 Hertz locations worldwide in 150 countries. The new partnership between the world's largest general use car rental brand and Transworld will build upon the growing number of outbound Hertz car rentals from Kuwait, with the USA, Germany, France and Switzerland topping the list of global destinations for Hertz Kuwait customers in 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110810/NY50373LOGO)
Transworld has recruited an independent sales team which will operate as a dedicated resource to represent the Hertz brand for outbound car rental in Kuwait, providing a new level of service and support for the country's travel trade professionals making car rental bookings globally for their customers.
The move will increase Hertz product awareness among the travel trade and grow outbound sales by capitalizing on Transworld's extensive international retail network to boost business from corporate customers and consumers.
"The Hertz brand is one of the most well-known car rental brands globally and is instantly recognizable by millions of people," said Michel Taride, President, Hertz International and Executive Vice President, Hertz Corporation.
"We have an assertive long-term outbound growth strategy for Kuwait which focuses on key destinations such as the USA and Europe. Having helped customers around the world for more than 90 years, this new partnership with Transworld Company builds upon the longstanding history Hertz has built in Kuwait."
"Providing a wealth of products for our customers has always been our aim and this partnership with Hertz allows us to widen the range of services we offer," said Cristiana Stefan, Hertz Manager, Transworld.
"We look forward to establishing Transworld as the face of the Hertz brand amongst the travel trade in Kuwait and building Hertz brand awareness among our customers, trade and corporate client portfolio."
While Europe and the USA remain among the most popular outbound destinations for Hertz Kuwait customers in 2012, the outbound GCC market witnessed the most growth year-on-year. Kuwaitis renting in Oman grew by 166 per cent, in Qatar by 150 per cent, and in the UAE by 55 per cent.
The new GSA appointment is the latest in a wave of fresh investment by Hertz Kuwait this year to improve its booking channels and customer service levels. In June, it launched a dedicated 24/7 English and Arabic customer call centre followed shortly in August by its own country domain website www.hertz.com.kw.
In November, Hertz Kuwait was awarded the coveted Superbrand status, further establishing the car rental company as a premier choice for both business and leisure travellers in the country.

Bikeville is the City of Greenville's bicycle friendly community initiative. The goal of Bikeville is to increase ridership, encourage bicycle use, expand bicycling facilities, and provide useful educational resources to cyclists and motorists to share the road.
The City of Greenville's Bicycle Friendly Community Initiative began in 2006. The goal of a Bicycle Friendly Greenville is to provide infrastructure, education, and outreach to increase the number of trips made by bicycles.
Protected Bike Lanes
Following a months-long study on the feasibility of a protected bike lane in downtown, the city constructed South Carolina's first on-street protected bike lane. Completed in the spring of 2017, the lane runs along Broad Street between Main Street and Spring Street. The project was the culmination of a private-public partnership between the City of Greenville and Bike Walk Greenville, a non-profit, alternative transportation advocacy group.
Swamp Rabbit Interactive Map
The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a 20 mile walking and biking trail, utilizing greenway networks and abandoned rail lines along the Reedy River to connect Greenville neighborhoods with downtown, Cleveland Park, Falls Park, Furman University, and the town Travelers Rest, SC. An interactive map is now available to help you explore the trail and plan your next ride!
B-cycle Expands
In 2015, three new B-cycle stations opened - at the Greenville Zoo in Cleveland Park, Hughes Main Library at Heritage Green and the newest station at Fluor Field, expanding the bike share network to eight stations and 35 bikes. Upstate Forever, along with other community partners, launched Greenville B-cycle in the spring of 2013.
The program provides community members and visitors an active way to get around town. Bicycle docking stations also are installed downtown as well as other popular areas of the city. View a complete list of B-Station locations online.
Master Plan
The Bicycle Master Plan (PDF) was completed and adopted by City Council in September of 2011. The plan is the result of a 12-month planning process, presenting a framework to help strategize the expansion of the existing bikeway network, complete network gaps, and provide greater transportation connectivity while educating and encouraging bicycling throughout the City of Greenville.
Rack n Ride
All GreenLink buses now have the capacity to carry 2 bicycles. Bicycles ride for free. Loading the bikes is easy, just follow the directions on the rack, or view an instructional video now.
Complete Streets
The new Complete Streets Policy (PDF) is an important step in the City's Bicycle Friendly Community campaign. It also reinforces the City's commitment to improving travel conditions and travel choices for people of all ages and abilities. The City of Greenville is now committed more than ever to providing appropriate accommodations for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit
Planning for and accommodating all roadway users makes everyone safer, including motorists. Complete Streets have across-the-board benefits like improving air quality and public health while providing transit options. The Complete Streets Coalition cites one study that "found that 43% of people with safe places to walk within 10 minutes of home met recommended activity levels, while just 27% of those without safe places to walk were active enough."

Waltham fertility pharmacy issues recall of progesterone, leuprolide
Voluntary recall includes medications shipped over 3 months
A specialty pharmacy in Waltham announced a voluntary recall Sunday of compounded medications shipped over the past three months.
Village Fertility Pharmacy said they decided to pull the medications after particulate was discovered in a small percentage of two lots of progesterone. Spokesman Matt Ellis said the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy has been notified.
After an initial investigation, the company and the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy decided to expand the recall to include leuprolide. More testing is being conducted and results will be released in the coming days.
"We are working cooperatively with all government agencies and are awaiting the results of the investigation," according to Stuart Levine, president of Village Fertility Pharmacy. "While no patients have reported any adverse effects, we believe the prudent course is to recall all of these medications."
The recall includes:
- Progesterone Injection Cottonseed Oil 50 MG/ML
- Progesterone Injection Olive Oil 50 MG/ML, 100 MG/ML
- Progesterone Injection Sesame Oil 50 MG/ML, 100 MG/ML
- Progesterone Injection Ethyl Oleate 50 MG/ML, 100 MG/ML
- Hydroxy Progesterone Caproate 250 MG/ML
- Compounded Leuprolide Acetate 1MG/.2ML
Progesterone is a hormone that supports gestation. It is compounded in different solutions to accommodate patients' various needs. Leuprolide suppresses natural ovulation.
Patients with questions can call the Village recall hotline at 1-888-965-5813.

Bad Graphic Design – A Must Read Guide For Serious Web Masters and Graphic Designers | design web
Bad graphic design is obviously something you want to avoid at all costs. Sometimes when you hire an individual or a graphic design or web design agency or artist to do a graphic design job for you, as a client you end up with an unprofessional website or design, leaving you without a proper website or design and without the money you initially invested in the web project. If you are a graphic designer or web designer, then make sure to give a 100% on every design project that comes across your desk. If you get a reputation for creating awesome work, you'll be able to charge a substantial amount more, which would then lead to the occasional referrals from the business's. If you create poor web design or poor graphic designs than you probably won't get any business or will have to retain your business at much lower rates than your competitors.What you can do to beef up you're graphic designs or web design business, in order to retain a larger clientele, is to start a small marketing campaign. Try experiment with new things, adjust what works and what doesn't You can also create ads and distribute them through various mediums like e-mail, door 2 door, flyers, banner ads, etc. When doing so make sure you are targeting the correct audience. It's important for every business to learn about demographics and analyze and research what you're client's are looking for and trying to fulfill your clients actual needs.The method to obtaining business and retaining it is real simple; it's a combination of many types of marketing strategies and having a great web presence and company Identity. Many companies have a professional web designer or graphic designer to design a corporate identity package for them because its permanent. You're identity cannot be changed later down the road, if a company changed their logo or identity than customers would not recognize or identify the old company identity with the new one, this can be extremely damaging for a business. Having a poor Identity design or web design from the start can ruin a business for life and anyone who has a business should avoid having a non professional design their identity or website at all cost.What set's a great graphic designer apart from a poor graphic designer is the motivation and the willingness to complete the work that's needed to be done. Ambition is the key to my success as a designer I enjoy what I do and am constantly investing in my skill by learning new graphic design and web design software, tips and tricks or whatever I need to know to make my designs better. It's important that potential clients, or anyone in the web design or graphic design business understand that while some individuals may have been trained and hold degrees as graphic and web designers, It does not certify them as a good designer. A professional web designer or graphic designer already knows the concepts of good design this cannot be taught in a classroom. So if you are looking to hire someone to design websites or graphic design make sure you review their online graphic design or web design portfolio before you go into a contract for web design or graphic design services or pay them to complete any design services.If you are looking to hire a graphic designer as a part of your full time staff, then a suggested practice is to give them a demo or dummy project to design as a test of skill. There is nothing worse than hiring an individual on the basis of their online portfolio but only later to find out they did not design what was In their portfolio. When hiring anyone its best to check their previous employment background and preferably you should require a letter of recommendation from either their University or their previous employer, this ensures you're recruiting efforts are a successful one.Why is bad graphic design all over the web? This is mainly because business do not want to invest the initial cost in creating a proper web presence or corporate identity. Many companies don't realize how important the two really are. Bad graphic design or bad web design gives you're customers a cheap impression. Would you buy from a physical store that was messy dirty or had an unprofessional look or feel? No you wouldn't, you probably keep your physical place of business in tip top shape. So why wouldn't you want to do the same for your web presence and Identity?You must understand as a business your identity and web presence is just as important as your physical presence if not more important. Studies show that more than 90% of the population do online research of a business before they buy. If you're business is non-existent or you're site is poorly designed, chances are that potential client or business will not even consider buying anything from you.Think about bad graphic design for a minute, than browse the web for at least an hour go ahead and randomly type different words in the search engine, visit as many sites as you can. Then go ahead and write down what the first thing comes into your mind when you see these sites copy the URLS as well. Then go back and review the information you collected.You will realize from the study that opinions are formed based on the visually appeal of site and not necessarily on products offered. So having bad graphic design or web designs associated with you're business identity is not a very profitable one at all. What is even more potentially damaging to a company is having no identity or online presence at all.Bad graphic design and bad web design can be prevented by investing in the right graphic designer or web design freelance contractor, or graphic design agency.

Basic Wardrobe Planning is Easier If You Know Your Fashion Style – 3 Benefits & 8 Fashion Archetypes | Fashion
Basic wardrobe planning may be more cohesive if you figure out your fashion style type. Some types of fashion, offered with the over-50 woman in mind, are:
arty or bohemian
simply elegant (or elegant simplicity)
trendy or trend-setter.
romantic or sexy.
I call these fashion styles fashion archetypes, because they embody deeper needs and behaviors of our personalities. Expressing one of the types of fashion is a way of becoming the star of our own lives.As we age, we may have to reassess our fashion style: The suburban mom takes a job and needs a professional wardrobe; the lawyer retires from her professional career and takes up her dream of landscape painting. The suits have to go.Here are three advantages of basic wardrobe planning around a type of fashion that suits your personality and lifestyle:
Efficiency shopping and pulling an outfit together, even on the fly. If you decide your fashion style is sporty, you're less likely to splurge on that emerald green, ruffled jabot blouse that you will only wear once a year. After all, it hardly goes with the khaki and charcoal cotton slacks that are the core of your comfortable daily uniform.
Spending limited wardrobe budgets on what will give us the most use. Basic wardrobe planning involves figuring out what types of fashion we most need. It makes sense to add a black skirt to our professional wardrobe when we understand we've got 18 tops and three jackets to team with it. Shopping for an item we might have spurned as too ordinary becomes a fashion triumph.
Feeling well-dressed and comfortable on every occasion. The best fashion advice for women is to decide what feels good and looks good on you. Your personal fashion style emerges from that. What looks and feels good changes over time. Periodic reassessment is essential.
Here's a summary of eight fashion archetypes.ARTY/BOHEMIANThe arty look is colorful, quirky, sometimes ethnic, and always fearless. Natural fabrics are preferred. A snowy white poet's shirt, an embroidered jacket that goes from work to art gallery reception, and a luxurious handbag are suggestions for the bohemian wardrobe.SOPHISTICATEDThe corporate executive wife and the charity fund-raiser are some typical lifestyle choices of women who express their inner creativity with sophisticated fashions. Wardrobe suggestions are a Chanel suit, a silk dress, gold cloche earrings and a diamond pendant necklace.SPORTYThis fashion style is tailored. A blazer jacket is a must. It can be worn with a variety of durable, washable cotton pants, such as khaki, a good choice for the active, outdoorsy woman. Sweaters and sweater sets work well. A silk T-shirt adds sophistication. Avoid fussy prints and ruffles.SUBURBANSuburban fashion goes from town to country with ease. She visits a corporate office in tailored slacks, a fuchsia shirt, an elegantly tailored long jacket, and pumps appropriate for lunch at a chic restaurant. Then she's off to a soccer game. The pumps are replaced by rubber-soled loafers, the jacket with a sweater. Pick garments for their versatility.PROFESSIONALThe professional fashion archetype loves suits – pantsuits for every day, skirt suits for court, a tuxedo suit for formal occasions, and a tailored dress when a skirt is a must. Choose suits and tops so you can mix-and-match for maximum versatility. Add an embroidered vest for pizzazz.SIMPLY ELEGANTIf you've asked yourself What Would Jackie [Kennedy Onassis] Do?(book by Shelley Branch and Sue Callaway) Or What Would Audrey [Hepburn] Do? (by Pamela Keough), this is your fashion archetype. Stock your closet with solid colors and garments with simple lines such as the A-line, princess, and cheongsam dresses. Shop at designer consignment shops to achieve this look on a budget.TRENDY/TREND-SETTERThe older woman who adopts the latest fashion trends may end up looking as if she is desperately clinging to her passing youth. For best effect, add fashion trends to classic costumes. For example, an outrageous jacket, with lots of bling and some feather accents, might be worn with simple black or white beneath. Experiment. Every fashion mistake can be changed tomorrow. ROMANTICFlirty grows up after 50 or risks appearing as if life has passed her by. Ruffles, but not frills; clinging fabrics that hug curves without being skintight; and decollete that knows when to quit are hallmarks of the romantic fashion archetype. Strive for glamor and sensuality using texture and a bit of bling.Take this fashion archetype quiz to learn more.In summary, knowing and expressing your fashion archetype starts with identifying the fashion styles that fit your lifestyle and personality. Buy clothes that look and feel just right. Basic wardrobe planning is a snap when we build our clothes collection with our personal type of fashion in mind.

Why Was Selena Gomez in Tears Twice at Her Brooklyn Concert? [VIDEO]
Selena Gomez had an emotional week, er, day, breaking down in tears twice at her Brooklyn concert (Oct. 16) on the Stars Dance Tour. WTF is up? Is Justin Bieber involved?
Here's what happened.
As anyone who stans Sel's Instagram feed knows, she posts photos of herself with a throng of fans at each stop on the Stars Dance Tour. She's usually all smiles. So why was she crying in Brooklyn?
Because the powers-that-be wouldn't let her do her Instagram shots. We're not sure why she was forbidden from doing so, but she was bummed. She posted the pic below explaining what happened!
The caption read: "Never ended such a beautiful show in tears because they wouldn't allow me to Instagram tonight. Completely heart broken and pissed. Thank you SO much Brooklyn. Ill [sic] be stoping [sic] outside Letterman tomorrow to make it up if you can make it. I love you guys more than you know. Promise."
The poor gal needs that daily bonding moment with her Seleniacs.
Gomez also cried during the show, which is probably due to her ex.
While performing 'Love Will Remember,' her song about The Biebs, she broke into tears at the end of the track. She was visibly upset while performing, as her eyes were stained and wet. Maybe she still loves The Biebs and thinks of him when she sings the song.
However, she cried at the same part of the same song the night before, making people wonder if these are crocodile tears that are part of the show.
Gomez also had some serious technical difficulties while performing on 'The View.' She false started 'Slow Down' and then said she couldn't hear herself and tried to joke with the crowd while the issues were addressed, not realizing she was still on air. Oopsie!

We have to admit, all of us have been on the to-don'ts list of fashion at least once in our lives. More than just putting together pieces of clothing and accessories and hoping that it pulls together, some people take fashion more seriously than you think. Creativity and attitude are insufficient when it comes to the fashion industry. Proper training from the top fashion universities has become a necessity in becoming a popular fashion designer.Fashion universities know that the fashion industry is a competitive field. Designers often go back to school to take refresher courses as they don't want to be left behind on the latest trends. The following then are tips to fashion designers on how to stay in fashion in the industry.1. Be innovativeFashion universities teach their students how to stay current. Fashion designers are trend-setters. Practically speaking, they are the ones who dictate what savvy people will be wearing in the next season. People follow fashion designers and it is the job of fashion universities to instill that trend-setting mindset to their students. Immersing yourself with fashion and being exposed to anything and everything can kick up your creativity level. Remember that clothing is supposed to be a way of expression which puts a heavy responsibility on the designers. People will be wearing your design which means that designers should remained challenged to always come up with new ideas to express oneself.2. Fast-pacedThe fashion industry is a fast-paced environment that requires constant innovative designs. Fashion universities can keep you up to date with the prevailing trends at a time, but by tomorrow, a brand new concept will be introduced. With technology, design software can also be used by not only speeding up the process of designing but also make use of techniques that cannot be instilled in pencil drawing. As the industry goes from season to season, fashion designers will always have to be a season ahead of everyone else. Fashion universities then keep students conscious of the shifting demands and opportunities of the fashion industry. Fashion designers should know how to think quickly and master their skills because something new has to be put on the store shelves for next season.3. Broaden your optionsThere are hundreds of fashion designers that dream of getting their designs on the runway. Graduates of fashion universities are usually either self-employed or work for a clothing and apparel company. Inadequate capital and social connections are factors that hinder good fashion designers to be seen in fashion shows. As only a handful of designers get recognized in the fashion industry, fashion universities regard several options to which students should consider. Make-up Artists, Stylists, and Fashion Merchandising are but some examples of careers that are closely related to fashion design which are also offered by many fashion universities.Fashion universities are best suited for those who truly have a love for clothing and fashion. Staying in fashion can be both a tiring and rewarding career. Like Heidi Klum says in her popular TV show called Project Runway, "One day you're in, and the next day you're out".

What to Pack For a Luxury Travel Vacation | Travel vacation
When there are bound to be celebs sitting around the pool at your lovely posh hotel, it's important to get the gear right! Here's the lowdown on what to pack for your luxury travel vacation, to make sure you fit the bill and match the clientele…1. The SwimsuitPoolside posing is a very big part of luxury travel breaks – and to hold your own amongst all the Chanel-clad guests, its best to hunt for a classic shape swimsuit yourself! Don't opt for a bikini – the cit can be very unflattering around all those yoga toned bodies. For men, the fashion is long, loose but not too loud. The surfer style trunks shouldn't be mistaken for Hawaiian, as crazy colors and patterns won't cut it.2. The iPhone and iPadAs you're definitely here to be seen on this vacation, it won't do to sit around all day with that old favorite of a paperback novel. To look important, you need the latest gadgets – it doesn't matter if you're playing games on the iPhone, concentrating on it is good enough for your image. And reading has taken on a whole new level – e-books on an iPad is the only way to go. Forget impracticality as water and sun screen slosh around, you're rich enough to afford a new one tomorrow anyway…3. The Big ShadesPracticality also goes out the window when it comes to designer eyewear. Don't worry about fit or shade, the bigger the better is the rule for sunglasses because only a somebody would hide behind such giant lenses, trying to slip past unobserved.4. The Evening WearIf you booked a luxury hotel, chances are the restaurant is a not a flip flops and bathing suit kind of place. Many top eateries at hotels will require a dress code so if you want to book a table, be prepared with smart shoes and jackets for men and a cocktail dress for women or you might be turned away by the staff.5. The Flashy Credit CardForget travelers cheques and notes – real stars pay with a members only credit card. Make sure yours is a nice matte black or silver, which are hallmarks of the best companies around, or else keep it hidden when you pay the bill. Chances are you'll need a big limit on it too if you're affording these mini bar prices!

"Chocolate for all" was the motto of Josef Manner I. Dissatisfied with the quality and price of chocolate, in 1890 Manner decided to produce chocolate himself…
"Chocolate for all" was the motto of Josef Manner I. In 1890, dissatisfied with the quality and price of chocolate, Manner decided to produce chocolate himself. With the "Neapolitaner Schnitte No. 239", introduced to the market in 1898, the hazelnut wafer set out to conquer the world. The name 'Neapolitaner' comes from Naples in Italy where the hazelnuts used in the wafers come from.
With their recipe for success the Josef Manner Chocolate Factory soon became the leading chocolate company of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The basic recipe of this bite-sized snack which consists of four layers of hazelnut cream between five layers of wafers has not changed until today.
The Manner shops in Austria boast plenty of items which are not available at other shops and therefore make for great gifts: Manner Neapolitaner Wafers in a nostalgia tin box, the 18er Original Manner Wafer pack and much more. Manner is located on Stephansplatz and at the Vienna airport. Other locations are the works in Vienna, Wolkersdorf and Perg.
Salzburger Mozartkugeln
The Mozartkugel, initially called "Mozartbonbon" was invented by Paul Fürst in 1890 and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Nowadays you have several companies making Mozartkugeln – the original ones are only available in shops of the Fürst bakery and online.
In Bregl, in the province of Styria, some 500 tonnes of chocolate are processed into 150 different chocolate creations every year. All products carry the FAIRTRADE label.
The FAIRTRADE mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.
Zotter offers an incredible range of taste combinations to please all palates. Flavours include everything from pineapple-paprika, apple-balsamic vinegar, chilli & rum, and milk & oats. Zotter also has more classic chocolate favourites such as strawberry and apricot. In addition to handmade chocolate and drinking chocolate, the chocolate factory also produces 'boleros' where dried fruits, chopped and roasted nuts and different cereals are dipped into chocolate and coated with pure cocoa, a sugar mix or fruit powder.
Stryrian Pumpkinseed Oil
Whether it's the aroma or taste or that fact that it's 100 percent natural, it'll be hard to buy just one bottle. This Styrian specialty is traditionally used to dress salads of all kinds, but you can also use it to enhance a variety of other dishes including soups, pasta and rice dishes, sauces, and spreads.
The oil is made from Styrian oil pumpkin: the seeds are washed, dried, crushed and fine milled into seed flour. To get one litre of pumpkinseed oil you need the seeds from 30 to 50 pumpkins.

Modern manufacturers produce a large number of gift packages. But that would surprise a loved one, many resort to unusual options for packaging. This is especially true in cases of buying an inexpensive gift. Then the original package will complement the pleasant surprise, emphasize the importance. Homemade pouches are made from any improvised means. One option is to use the old book, the middle is cut out and the goods are put inside. A ring, earrings or a chain can be placed in a tissue bag of various colors.
Sometimes as a package use baskets, they always have a presentable appearance. The most unexpected and pleasant surprise will be a personalized sachet with an image or surname. A person will feel his individuality, significance. It is more likely to place it on a shelf or wall, as an addition to the main gift. The cost of the product is not great, but will leave positive memories for the traitor. Earlier in this way, decorated cups, plates, T-shirts and other things.
Even after a long time, party bag sweet fillers do not lose their popularity among consumers. On the contrary, every year it increases, to present a present without them becomes practically impossible. And the abundance of color and variety of designs attracts the buyer. You need to surprise your loved one every day, even with insignificant presentations.

It's still winter and I know a lot of my northern friends are still dealing with cold and snow, but this Texan is waking from a very long hibernation.
Let's face it: I did not participate in one single race last year. I didn't do as much as usual either. It was more of a sabbatical year for me, I guess. But I'm waking up from hibernation and ready to hit it hard again. I have so many great plans this year!
First, back to low carb. When I started taking metformin I lost all interest in most low carb foods. They seemed repulsive to me. Eggs and bacon? Gag! That's not good for a girl trying to watch her weight and health. Plus I was tired much of the time. When I wasn't tired, I was nauseated. Fun times, people.
Second, starting this Sunday I start training for my first (only?) half marathon of 2014. Rachel is on board and Charlie is considering. No word from Chuck yet. He prefers 5k and would be happy to never see another half marathon in his life. My goal race is April 4th for Angie's Half Crazy Half Marathon. I completed it in 2012 and I like the course plus the medal and post race party. The first 5k of the year will be the Rhythm and Blues in Houston on February 10th. Another pretty medal, bands and great party.
Third, I want to play guitar.
Fourth, update my math and French skills.
Fifth, more adventures! I phoned it in last year. Seriously. That just won't do. Life is way too short and there are so many things I want to see and do. If only my checkbook could keep up with those plans.
So let's do this!! Time to kick off the adventures of 2014!
PS: you may notice I didn't mention weight goals and such. That's because I'm not stressed at all about it. I want to feel good, look good, and have fun. I'm assuming my weight will reflect my lifestyle.

OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 65th meeting between McDaniel (0-4, 0-3 CC) and Gettysburg (4-0, 3-0 CC) in a series that dates back to 1891. The Bullets lead the all-time series 46-18-1, including a 44-37 win last season that snapped a two-game winning streak by the Green Terror.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Gettysburg rolled up 676 yards of total offense as part of a game that featured 1,140 yards and 81 points, defeating McDaniel 44-37 last season. Nick O'Melia (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key) caught eight passes for the Green Terror, accounting for 203 of Nick Valori's (Treasure Island, Fla./Washington Twp. [N.J.]) 329 passing yards. For O'Melia, he was the first receiver to reach 200 yards receiving since 1993 while Valori had the first 300-yard passing game since 2002. O'Melia also caught all three of Valori's touchdown tosses. Aden Twer had a 200-yard receiving day of his own for the Bullets, catching seven passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Ted Delia and Kyle Whitmoyer both had 100 yards on the ground. Delia went for 109 while Whitmoyer had 100.
LAST TIME OUT: Ursinus scored the first 10 and last 14 points of the game to bookend a 40-21 CC victory over McDaniel last Saturday. Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) amassed a career-best 362 all-purpose yards to lead the Green Terror, running for 223 yards on 15 carries and recording another 139 on four kickoff returns. It was his third career 200-yard rushing game. Chris Curran threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Bears, who outgained McDaniel 435-415 on the day but held a 303-132 advantage at halftime.
WITH HONORS: Joe Rollins and Erik Klugh (Millersville, Pa./Penn Manor) were named to their respective CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. Rollins earned the nod on offense and special teams while Klugh was named to the defensive ledger. Rollins led the offense with 223 yards rushing, averaging 14.9 yards on his 15 carries. He also broke off two runs of 60-plus yards. In the return game, he broke three long runs to help him finish with 139 yards on four attempts. Klugh led the defense with nine tackles.
LEADING THE WAY: Tyler Lloyd (Broad Run, Va./Fauquier), Tim McLister (Leesburg, Va./Loudoun) and Kevin White (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Haverford Twp.) will captain the squad in 2012. White is a two-time captain while Lloyd and McLister will lead the squad for the first time as seniors.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS: After just two games and six returns back as the returner, Joe Rollins is leading the CC in kickoff return average at 32.8 yards per return, which also ranks 15th in Division III. After returns of 23 and 35 against Muhlenberg, Rollins started his day against Ursinus with a 14-yard return. From there, he broke off returns of 48, 45 and 32 yards to give him 139 on the day. Donny Sherman (White Hall, Md./Havre de Grace) is also fifth in the CC and 80th in Division III, averaging 23.2 yards on his six returns. As a team, McDaniel ranks fifth in the league with a 21.3 yard-per-return average.
ROLLING AGAIN: In addition to his 139 return yards, Joe Rollins notched his third career 200-yard rushing day and reached double-digit games with 100 or more yards rushing. The junior finished with 223 yards on just 15 carries, averaging 14.9 yards per touch. All told, Rollins finished with a career-best 362 all-purpose yards. His 2,348 career yards ranks 27th in conference history. In 2012, he leads the CC at 108.0 rushing yards per game and 173.3 all-purpose yards per game.
TWICE AS GRAND: With his 118 passing yards on Saturday, Nick Valori became the 10th Green Terror signal caller. The sophomore has 2,044 yards and is completing just shy of 55 percent of the passes in his career. His 146.0 yards per game over his career currently ranks fourth-best all-time.
LAUNDRY DAY: Despite being flagged eight times for 61 yards on Saturday, McDaniel has the fewest penalty yardage in the CC, averaging 42.5 yards in penalties through the first four games. The 22 penalties on the season is second fewest in the league. The Green Terror entered play last Saturday havin been whistled just 14 times in the first three games.
STEELE CAGE: Junior FB Patrick Steele (Lutherville, Md./Boys Latin School of Maryland) entered last Saturday's game with 24 career rush attempts – 11 of which came through the first three weeks of 2012. On his second touch last week, Steele reached the end zone for the first time with a one-yard run that capped a 4-play, 80-yard drive with 7:06 to play in the third quarter.
SECOND-HALF STRONG: On Saturday, Ursinus finished the game with a slight 435-415 advantage in total offense. However, the margin was 303-132 in the first half. That continued a trend for the season. The Green Terror has been outgained in all four games this season but have held the yardage advantage in the second half in three of the four games, including a 238-132 edge last week. McDaniel has also been outscored 82-30 in the first half of games this season.
BACK IT UP: Two of the Green Terror's starting linebackers are in the conference's top 10 in tackles. Outside linebacker Mike Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) ranks third in the league with 40 stops while middle linebacker Erik Klugh is tied eighth with 34 tackles. Zach Martin (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) is fourth on the team with 21 tackles, having played in only three games. The trio has also combined for 3.5 sacks and five pass breakups.
TERROR TIDBITS: Joe Rollins' runs of 63 and 65 yards in the third quarter on Saturday were McDaniel's longest plays of the season… The Green Terror is trying to avoid its first 0-5 start since 1986, when the squad went winless in Dale Sprague's first season at the helm… McDaniel has been outscored 45-10 in the first quarter of games this season… The Green Terror's three rushing touchdowns have been by three different players. None are by Joe Rollins… McDaniel has just two sacks this season after recording 81 over the last three years.
COACHES' CORNER: Mike Hoyt is in his first season at the helm of the Green Terror, entering today's game with an overall record of 0-4. He spent the last eight seasons as the defensive coordinator, culminating with being a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2011. In his first season at Albright, his defense went from allowing an average of 235.4 yards per game to 175.1 yards per contest, helping to guide Albright to an ECAC South Atlantic championship. His tenure as defensive coordinator was marked specifically by stout run defense, ranking in the top half of the Middle Atlantic Conference in rush defense, total defense and scoring defense in four of his last five seasons. His 2008 defense led the conference and ranked 33rd nationally, allowing just 16.9 points per games and appeared in the ECAC South Central Bowl… Barry Streeter, the dean of CC coaches, is in his 34th season guiding the Bullets. His 171-162-5 record not only ranks best amongst those to guide Gettysburg but is also the most wins of anyone to coach in the conference. He has three CC titles to his credit and one appearance in the NCAA semifinals (1985).
THE WORD ON GETTYSBURG: The Bullets enter play today off a 35-24 win at Susquehanna last Saturday. Gettysburg recorded 28 points in the fourth quarter to rally from a 10-point halftime deficit… The 4-0 start is the best for the Bullets since starting the 1987 season with a 6-0 mark and is 3-0 in CC play for the first time since 1995 when Gettysburg won its first five CC games… Kody Smith threw for 201 yards on 17 of 30 passing and ran for another 68 on 12 carries… For the season, Smith has thrown for 698 yards and seven touchdowns through the first four games, completing 58.6 percent of his passes… The Bullets are outrushing their opponents 1,354-219 through the first four games of the season. The 338.5 yards per game ranks fourth in Division III. Ted Delia has 359 yards rushing while Smith has 289 to lead the running attack… Three Gettysburg receivers have more than 100 yards receiving. Aden Twer leads the corps with 12 catches for 157 yards while Kyle Davis has seven snags for 149 yards. Freddy Caruso has 105 yards receiving on five grabs… The Bullets have the league's top scoring offense (45.2 ppg) and scoring defense (9.5 ppg)… Gettysburg also has the CC's best rush defense, allowing just 54.8 yards per game on the ground.

For us, the term "surf and turf" doesn't quite do justice for the menu at Floyd's Cajun Seafood and Texas Steakhouse, but we must admit that the crawfish, the stuffed flounder and the seafood fondue have kept us a little occupied so that we nearly overlooked the steaks at the Texas steakhouse.
But after tasting the steak at Floyd's, we recommend you go on ahead and make your way on to their turf.
"Sometimes 'Texas Steakhouse' gets lost behind the 'Floyd's Cajun Seafood,' but we are a steakhouse, too. We have several people who come here to get their steaks," said Paul Knobloch, general manager at Floyd's. "It's always been Floyd's contention that he needed to keep a good cut of meat for the steak eaters and the people who came to a seafood house that didn't eat seafood."
As it turns out, Floyd's sells as much steak as it does seafood — and the kitchen pays close attention to the preparation of their steaks.
"We don't marinate; we season," said Knobloch, adding that even with the seasoning, they were selective. "We cooked two T-bones side by side a while back and about six of us tasted it, and every one of us chose the seasoning that we use. The key to it was that when you first bit into that steak right up until it went down, that good steak taste stayed with you."
We tried the 16-ounce Texas sirloin, and we were pleasantly impressed with the buttery, natural flavor that stayed with us, from the very first bite all the way through all 16 ounces of the steak.
"If someone wants a good cut of meat, if they ask you to fix a good steak, they want to taste steak. They don't want to taste seasoning. When you taste our steaks here, you're not overwhelmed by seasoning — it's juicy and you taste the flavor all the way down; you're not overwhelmed by spices or herbs or everything that's in the seasoning. The flavor is overwhelmed by nothing."
We must admit, though, that we were a little overwhelmed by the fact that our investigator was able to finish off 16 ounces of sirloin with no problem. But Floyd's has a great steak selection for everyone's preferences — 12 ounce sirloin, ribeyes in 12 and 16 ounces, T-bones and the New York strip — and a newer option on the menu is the petite 10-ounce sirloin filet, which Knobloch said is incredibly popular.
After you've tried the steaks, we'll understand if you flip-flop between the sea and the land, as crawfish season is in full swing at Floyd's.
"They're still coming in plentiful and large," Knobloch said reassuringly. Currently Floyd's offers a special featuring a platter of crawfish and a bucket of six seven-ounce beers, and of course their stuffed flounder is a crowd pleaser, as well — stuffed with pure crabmeat.
Floyd's will satisfy your palate whether you prefer seafood or steaks, but we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't dare you to make your way over to their turf one way or another.

What hasn't Roy Halladay done this year? Last night he proved again that he is an all around player on the Phillies as not only did he pitch great on the mound, he sliced a Bronson Arroyo pitch into the right field corner for a double and drove home 3 runs last night in Cincinnati. The Phils went on to a 9-0 win.
All of those years that Roy Halladay didn't get the chance to bat is starting to catch up with Roy. Pitchers, especially those like the superstar Halladay is, aren't supposed to be doing that well at the plate. Most pitchers that go up to bat are more or less looked at as an easy out, but not the Phillies pitchers who have really stepped it up at the plate this year.
Cliff Lee leads the Phillies pitchers in offense. He has been a hitting machine this season. Lee has 13 hits with two of those being home runs, and he has driven in 13 RBI's on the season. Cole Hamels is right behind Lee with 8 hits and now Halladay has 7 hits on the year. Halladay has now tied Phillies pitchers in RBI's for second place on the team with Vance Worley, who also has 3 RBI's.
This is the time of the season when we start talking about 'Magic Numbers'. The magic number is how many games the Phillies either have to win or Atlanta has to lose to give the Phillies their Division title. That number is now at 29, so any combination of either Phillies wins or Atlanta losses will make the number move lower. It doesn't seem to matter for Atlanta as it seems like they are in the drivers seat for the Wild Card playoff spot in the NL.
The Phils extend their stay in Cincinnati tonight with Cliff Lee on the mound tonight against Dontrelle Willis. The game gets underway at 7:10 PM. One more game remains in the series, as I look at the schedule :)

For over 25 years the study of retroviruses has underpinned much of what is known about information transfer in cells and the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underlie cell growth and cancer induction. Emergent diseases such as AIDS and adult T-cell lymphoma have widened even further the community of investigators directly concerned with retroviruses, a development that has highlighted the need for an integrated understanding of their biology and their unique association with host genomes. This remarkable volume satisfies that need. Written by a group of the field's most distinguished investigators, rigorously edited to provide a seamless narrative, and elegantly designed for clarity and readability, this book is an instant classic that demands attention from scientists and physicians studying retroviruses and the disorders in which they play a role.
Chapter 1 Historical Introduction to the General Properties of Retroviruses (P. K. Vogt)
Chapter 2 Retrovirual Virions and Genomes (V. M. Vogt)
Chapter 3 Viral Entry and Receptors (E. Hunter)
Chapter 4 Reverse Transcriptase and the Generation of Retroviral DNA (A. Telesnitsky and S. P. Goff)
Chapter 5 Integration (P. O. Brown)
Chapter 6 Synthesis and Processing of Viral RNA (A.B. Rabson and B.J. Graves)
Chapter 7 Synthesis, Assembly, and Processing of Viral Proteins (R. Swanstrom and J. W. Wills)
Intermezzo The Interactions of Retroviruses and Their Hosts (J.M. Coffin, S.H. Hughes, and H.E. Varmus)
Chapter 8 Retrotransposons, Endogenous Retroviruses, and the Evolution of Retroelements (J. D. Boeke and J. P. Stoye)
Chapter 9 Development and Applications of Retroviral Vectors (A. D. Miller)
Chapter 10 Retroviral Pathogenesis (N. Rosenberg and P. Jolicoeur)
Chapter 11 Pathogenesis of HIV and SIV (A. S. Fauci and R. C. Desrosiers)
Chapter 12 Immunological and Pharmacological Approaches to the Control of Retroviral Infections (E. A. Emini and H.Y. Fan)
Appendix 1 Retroviral Sequences (G. Myers)
Appendix 2 Retroviral Taxonomy, Protein Structures, Sequences, and Genetic Maps (C. Petropoulos)
"With the arrival of Retroviruses, a worthy successor to the 1985 classic has finally appeared. Despite its downsized title everything about this volume, edited by John Coffin, Stephen Hughes, and Harold Varmus, is top notch. Especially noteworthy are the many superb illustrations, which include color diagrams of protein structures, molecular mechanisms, and other aspects of retroviruses and their effects."
"New testament on retroviruses
. This is a serious reference book to be cherished by specialist and novice alike
. My copy disappeared from my office the day it arrived. Better order two copies at once."
"Retroviruses is an outstanding reference book for clinicians and medical students who want to deepen their understanding of retrovirology, and it is a definite must for basic scientists working the field."
"This book renders the detail, complexity and wonder of retroviruses accessible. It will be read, appreciated and enjoyed by students, researchers and physicians. I found it hard to put down."
Nature Medicine
the book satisfies the needs of a very wide scientific audience, serving as an invaluable reference book for even the most fanatical afficianado; as a complete textbook for teachers and students of retrovirology; and as a user-friendly entré into this field for the naive reader. Simply put, Retroviruses has set a new benchmark against which all future virology textbooks will be judged."

Friday Report: Don't take your opossums to town, son
Friday Report
On a slow news day, reporters filling space will dig out a file of unusual stories called, "Man Bites Dog." They call it this because they are stories that give an unusual twist on an everyday occurrence. Dog Bites Man? Well, that happens every day, but Man Bites Dog? Not so very often.
Sometime back, I read in the Denver Post that a guy in New Jersey was arrested and sentenced to 30 days in the Atlantic County Detention Center for beating up another guy in a bar argument. Ho-hum, you say, that's Dog Bites Man. The twist that turns this particular incident into a Man Bites Dog story is that the victim was severely battered when the attacker wailed on him with an opossum.
This started me thinking. How could anybody use an innocent opossum to assault another guy? I don't condone violence, but I know that disputes get settled all the time with lawyers, knives, guns and money. Still, I'm at a loss to understand why someone would choose a small, furry marsupial to beat his fellow man senseless?
How did this come to pass? Did the perpetrator just happen to be walking around with a chip on his shoulder and his opossum slung low on the hips? To paraphrase Mae West, "Are you happy to see me or is that an opossum in your pants?
What's this world coming to? Is this going to open the door for a new wave of drive-by opossumings? Will our neighborhoods become even more dangerous if this new weaponry catches on with hoodlums and street thugs? Will the NRA embrace this new biological weapon, or will they hate it because it doesn't go "boom"?
An ominous fact is that opossums will not set off metal detectors in courtrooms or airports. This fact alone could set the stage for international terrorism at an unprecedented level. "You head this plane to Tupelo or I'll whack all the first-class passengers around with my opossum!"
What is the difference between an opossum and a possum? Sometimes when you put an "o" in front of a word it reverses its meaning, like proponent and opponent. I checked this out in Google to see if an opossum is actually an anti-possum and the two would explode in a blinding flash if they ever ran into each other in a Star Trek episode, but no. It turns out they're entirely different animals that just happen to look alike, but for the fact that the Australian possum has a furry tail and the American opossum has a bare tail. The mix-up was caused by the guy collecting animals for Captain Cook back in the 1770s as he sailed around the Pacific.
Since the assault took place in New Jersey with its perfectly safe borders, it's safe to assume that the weaponized rodent was an opossum and not a foreign jihadist of a possum. I did read that both of them are good animals in a fight, what with a frightening mouthful of big, sharp rodent-teeth. In fact, the newspaper stated that the opossum also gave the victim a savage bite on the head, adding insult to injury, or actually, vice-versa.
Opossums have fairly long tails that would add a lot of leverage to their threat. Imagine sitting at a bar, swilling your first strong liquor when a dusty cowpoke at your side begins to laugh you down. You try to warn him off by twirling your opossums like nunchucks but you realize, too late, he's quicker on the twirl with meaner opossums.
Mom says, just leave your opossums at home, son.

The cliché comes not in what you shoot but in how you shoot it.
The cliché comes not in what you shoot but in how you shoot it.
There will always be suffering. But we must not suffer over the suffering.
One with great successes has had equally great hardships.
Your dreams will come true, but only when they're supposed to and not a moment before.
There may be open doors before me, but I'm always drawn to the one that's locked.
Why wait for tomorrow when today is holding out her hand?
Nothing is more dangerous than contentment without progression.
Just remember, who you are, and always take that with you, wherever you do go.
You must first be nothing to become something.
We only talk of what we know, so as to know of little is to talk of little.
Shake the hands of those you hate, and you will thank me.
