Store History
- Founded by: Josh Title
- Headquarters: Toronto, Canada
The annual Toy Fair at the Javits Center is filled with toys of all kinds many with flashing lights, music, and moving parts. So it was a breath of fresh air to come upon the quiet, peaceful, friendly booth of cate & levi manned by founder Josh Title. Not only are his products soft and beautiful, each one is unique, made by hand and from reclaimed wool.
cate & levi is a Toronto-based company but will happily ship one of their creatures to US children in need of cuddly companions. Although you can let Josh know when you order whether the owner will be a girl or boy and you can certainly choose the animal you'd like, he and his team of stitchers will create a unique animal each time so there's a lovely surprise element too. Besides, we didn't see a single one that wasn't wholly adorable and charismatic.
There are five categories to choose from: stuffed animals ($85), pillow pals ($45), wall art ($45), hand puppets ($35) and zoo cubes ($30). You can see examples of cate & levi's menagerie on their site.

For many WNY teens this Thanksgiving, it's service with a smile
It started as a way to spend time with her grandmother. When she was in sixth grade, Sarah Willard began volunteering at the Weinberg Campus, a retirement community in Getzville. Now a sophomore at Sacred Heart Academy, Sarah and her grandmother, Cora Willard, are still volunteering today.
Every Thursday, Sarah goes to help the residents at Weinberg play bingo.
"I really do enjoy it," said Sarah, "and I love getting to know the residents personally."
Along with assisting the residents at the bingo games, Sarah also helps get them there.
"Actually, I have connected with many of the people I meet," Sarah said. "I love getting to talk to them and hear about their stories and about their lives."
Sarah's love of volunteer work is evident to those around her, said her mother, Karen.
"Volunteering at Weinberg has taught Sarah to have a deep appreciation and respect for senior citizens," Karen Willard said.
Sarah said she can't imagine not volunteering at Weinberg.
"Everyone appreciates the volunteers, and I really do get so much out of the experience," she added.
For more information on volunteering at Weinberg Campus, call 639-3311 or visit www.weinbergcampus.org.
– Hannah Zakrzewski, sophomore, Nardin Academy
With Thanksgiving comes the theme of helping other people out and giving thanks. Many teens might ask themselves, "How can I help somebody out this Thanksgiving?" One way teens can help others is the Family Promise program. Many families have found themselves without a warm place to stay in these tough economic times, and Family Promise helps them out by allowing families to stay at a network of churches across Western New York for a period of time while they get back on their feet. On the program's website, it states, "Family Promise of WNY is a cost-efficient, effective and replicable community response to homelessness. We bring together existing community resources, especially faith congregations to assist us with our mission."
Natalie Blatz is a Family Promise volunteer. She has been volunteering for two years to help out less fortunate people.
"My favorite part is hanging out with the kids," says Natalie, a sophomore at Amherst High School. "I love playing games with them and running around."
Natalie believes she also has reaped some benefits from Family Promise.
"I gain experience with kids and other people," she says. "I gained more social skills. I got the feeling that I was really helping people out. It's also a good time for me to be with my parents and family, because I think we get to know each other better as a family when we're helping others.
"It's really good for the families staying there, because they can be with other people in the same situation, and they can relate to each other. It's a really good support tool for these families."
Another teen that helps out is Emily Hawes, 15, who's been volunteering at Family Promise for six months.
"My favorite part is playing with the kids, and helping in general," says Emily, who is from Hamburg. "We're there for the visitors to talk to if they need any assistance. You can really learn how to relate to someone else's situation, and be in their shoes.
"The program is all about helping others. It's very helpful to the families that visit, because a warm place to stay is very important," Emily says. "And especially with the winter season coming up, it's important that we help find these nice people a place to stay, as it could be the difference between life and death."
"I would absolutely suggest it," said Natalie about volunteering for Family Promise. "It's so much fun, and I think everyone has fun, especially the people staying there. The feeling you get from helping others is so great, and everybody gets involved when we're helping out. It's extremely rewarding."
To find out more about volunteering at Family Promise, visit www.fpwny.org.

A nice steamy turkey comes out of the oven with buttery mashed potatoes, sensational stuffing, fresh corn, cranberry sauce and mouth-watering pumpkin pie. The family gathers for a celebration of joy and feasting.
This may sound like the best way to indulge in Thanksgiving, but some area teens believe that there is a stronger meaning in their Thanksgiving.
"We don't have it that bad, and the best thing we can do is make a person's less-Thanksgiving more thankful," said Matt Braun, a senior at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute.
Matt is highly involved in service. He has volunteered with Journey's End, an organization that helps refugees; St. John's Vacation Bible School; Loaves and Fishes soup kitchen; service retreats; and he can even be found in Kenmore doing yard work for people.
"I work with Journey's End because I've been thankful for what I have and it's nice to give others what I have," Matt said.
With Journey's End, Matt helps refugees move in and set up their homes. He said he enjoys making them feel that they are in a comfortable place as they begin a new life. Matt said he loves being part of Journey's End.
Joshua Deveso, a sophomore at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute, was involved in a program that would take him on a service trip to North Carolina. He became ill and couldn't go on the trip, but that didn't stop him from helping others.
"Service is important because if you look at the world around, there are issues like poverty and not everyone can be saved, but every bit of difference helps," said Joshua.
At a young age, Joshua possesses great enthusiasm for service to others.
He and his dad have spent weeks going to various homes of senior citizens to do yard work.
Josh also has been involved in various services at his church, First Trinity.
He hopes to become involved with a mission trip to Haiti.
"I [also] would love to get involved in a soup kitchen and provide happiness to those without families," Josh said.
"Service is powerful. It not only helps [make] the person who does the service feel good, but [it] can make an impact on another. If you can make a difference in a certain day, it can mean the whole world to another person," he said.

A Red & Blue "Big Boy" Sports Room
Name: Boy, age 3
Location: Escondido, California
Here's how my son's big boy room and furniture went from ho-hum and blah to bright and colorful with just a few gallons of paint, a dash of creativity, and some elbow grease.
First up, two-toned walls. My son's room has high ceiling so I wanted to break up the space by using two different paint colors. The the top half of the wall was painted in Benjamin Moore's Sea View and the bottom half and all of the trim was painted in Benjamin Moore's Denim Wash. We added wainscoting to the bottom half of the walls, which gives the space an additional detail that I love.
Next, I wanted to bring a pop of color to the room, so I painted the interior of the door in Benjamin Moore's Currant Red and used this same color on the All Star Scoreboard I painted. I love the way it turned out! I think the red really adds a nice touch and breaks up the monochromatic look of the room.
Lastly, my business partner, Christine, and I I painted his furniture in Benjamin Moore's Kensington Blue to coordinate with the rest of the room. The Benjamin Moore paint colors I used were all on the same paint swatch (except the red), just different shades. I started with the darkest for the furniture, then moved up two colors for the bottom half of the wall, and then up another two colors for the top half of the wall. This allowed me to use several different shades of blue without having to wonder if the colors worked together since they were all in the same color family.
Christine found the dresser at Salvation Army and it has a great Pottery Barn Kids vibe, but without the price tag. Score! I found the bed on Craigslist. Unfortunately, I don't have any "before" photos of this. It was not assembled when I bought it and I took my chances since I wasn't sure how it would look put together. But, I feel like the dresser and the bed are long lost twins separated at birth. You can't tell from these photos, but both pieces have the same edges and woodworking details.
Last up to bat is the bulletin board I created for his room. Years and years ago my mom and I took a model home tour just for the fun of it and we came across a sports themed room where the designer had used a galvanized chain link gate as a headboard. Such a cute, unique, and inexpensive way to anchor a bed! At the time, I was childless, but I loved the idea so much that I stored it away in my brain for a later date. When the time came to design my son's new room I knew I had to incorporate a chain link gate, but I didn't need a headboard and I didn't want to use it the same exact way I had seen it already done. So, I gave the idea a twist and created a one of a kind bulletin board.
My son and I both love how this room turned out! This project was a home run in my book!
Thanks, Dawn! Readers, visit Dawn at Simply Tangerine.

THL Toolbox > Developers' Zone > SOLR
Contributor(s): Nathaniel Grove
For SOLR configuration documentation, see server administration & support guidelines#solr
Indexing THL Texts in SOLR
The basic process of indexing THL digital texts in SOLR is a two-part process. First, the texts to be indexed need to be digested into a SOLR add-doc, which is an XML document that follows the SOLR schema for that index. The schema defines the fields that SOLR will accept and how to index them, whether to store the data in the index in a retrievable form or not and so forth. Once the original texts have been converted into valid SOLR add-docs, these can then be ingested into the SOLR index. If one ingests a SOLR add-doc for a text that is already in the index, SOLR will update the information for that text based on the new add doc.
This process is the same for all SOLR indices. However, the means for achieving these two steps may be different.
Digital Texts in the THL Catalogs
To index digital texts in the THL catalogs, I have written several shell scripts that can be run on the site if you have permission to log onto the various servers for development, staging, and production. Each server has its own version of SOLR. So, the scripts must be run on each server. However, in the following instructions, I will use the Dev site as the basis but the same instructions will apply to Staging and Development other than the location of the solrdocs folder.
Things to note:
- In general, to run shell script in Linux, you prepend "./" to the name of the script.
- In commands, items in curly braces {} describe the value to put there, e.g. {text number} means put the number of the text here.
- {coll} means the collection, use its sigla, e.g. kt, ngb, dkcw, etc.
- {ed} means edition sigla. For collections without multiple editions, user the word "main".
- Text numbers are always 4-digit, pad with zeros if necessary, e.g., 0039
- In many cases with scripts that take parameters (collection and edition siglas and so forth), if the script is run without parameters or with the parameter "help" a "usage" message is displayed describing how the text is supposed to be called.
- The text catalog has only a single index so that searches may be performed across collections and editions. Therefore, when optimizing, one does not need to specify the index.
Location of SOLR Indexing Scripts and Running them
As of October 2012, the shell scripts for indexing THL Catalogs are found in the following locations:
- Development: /usr/local/projects/thlib-texts/solr-home/solrdocs
- Staging: /usr/local/projects/thdl-texts/current/solr-home/solrdocs
- Production: /usr/local/projects/thdl-texts/current/solr-home/solrdocs
The following sections describe the scripts to be called for certain actions and the parameters they require. In all cases, the following steps must be done first:
- Open SecureCRT
- Log on to server with your creditials and go to the appropriate folder by typing: for development or the other paths on the other servers.
cd /usr/local/projects/thlib-texts/solr-home/solrdocs
- Run the script in question by typing:
./{scriptname}.sh {parameters}
Indexing All the Texts
Specific scripts to index all the texts in a catalog have been written to make the process run by one command. These are as follows:
Dege Kangyur
Run the following script:
Other collections
To index all texts in other collections, use the createAllTextAdds.sh script which is called in the following manner:
./createAllTextAdds.sh {coll} {ed (optional)} {startnum (optional)}
For example,
./createAllTextAdds.sh dkcw
./createAllTextAdds.sh dkcw main 0100
In the last case, the edition sigla is not needed for indexing all the text because the collection has only one main edition, but in the second case "main" must be specified as a placeholder so that the starting text number is not confused with the edition sigla.
Indexing One Text in a THL Catalog
To index just one text in a THL catalog run the "createOneTextAll.sh" script by typing:
./createOneTextAdd.sh {coll} {ed (optional)} {text number}
For example,
./createOneTextAdd.sh kt d 0049
where "kt" stands for Kangyur ("ngb" and "dkcw" are the other collections) and "d" stands for "sde dge" and "0049" is the text number. *Note:* you should put the 4-digit version of the number with leading zeros.The resulting output should look something like this:
[sds-deployer@dev solrdocs]$ ./createOneTextAdd.sh kt d 0049 ********** Processing kt-d-0049-text.xml! ********** ********** Adding to SOLR ********** SimplePostTool: version 1.2 SimplePostTool: WARNING: Make sure your XML documents are encoded in UTF-8, other encodings are not currently supported SimplePostTool: POSTing files to http://localhost:8080/thlib-solr-multicore/thlib-texts/update.. SimplePostTool: POSTing file kt-d-0049-text-add.xml SimplePostTool: COMMITting Solr index changes..
What this shows is that the XML file of the text was processed through a XSLT stylesheet into a SOLR add-doc and then, that solr add-doc was ingested into SOLR. The WARNING is a standard one but any errors that display should be reported.
Optimizing an index
Optimizing is a SOLR routine to compact the index making it faster and more efficient. The scripts to add all texts of a collection automatically include commands to optimize the index when the adding is done, but when adding individual texts or groups of texts, this must be done by hand. So, When one is done indexing whatever individual documents need indexing, one can optimize the index by typing the following command:
which will result in
[sds-deployer@dev solrdocs]$ ./optimize.sh SimplePostTool: version 1.2 SimplePostTool: WARNING: Make sure your XML documents are encoded in UTF-8, other encodings are not currently supported SimplePostTool: POSTing files to http://localhost:8080/thlib-solr-multicore/thlib-texts/update.. SimplePostTool: POSTing file optimize.xml SimplePostTool: COMMITting Solr index changes..
Indexing One Bibliographic Record
The command for indexing a single bibliographic record in a catalog is:
./indexOneBibl.sh {coll} {edition} {folder} {text number}
as in for example:
./indexOneBibl.sh kt d 0 0039
The result should look something like:
[sds-deployer@dev solrdocs]$ ./indexOneBibl.sh kt d 0 0039 Indexing one bibl: kt/d/0/kt-d-0039-bib.xml SimplePostTool: version 1.2 SimplePostTool: WARNING: Make sure your XML documents are encoded in UTF-8, other encodings are not currently supported SimplePostTool: POSTing files to http://localhost:8080/thlib-solr-multicore/thlib-texts/update.. SimplePostTool: POSTing file kt-d-0039-add.xml SimplePostTool: COMMITting Solr index changes..

A New Justin Timberlake Single Featuring Jay-Z and Beyoncé Might Be Dropping in the Next Few Minutes [UPDATE]
Is Justin Timberlake getting really to unveil his first new single in years?
A radio station in Florida seems to think so — and JT himself may have just confirmed it on Twitter.
Radio Now 97.9 told listeners that it has it on good authority that Timberlake is getting ready to drop his first new single since 2006, and that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are on it.
Shortly after the report surfaced, Timberlake took to his Twitter feed to write, "Thursday, January 10th, 2013 at 9:01 am PST."
In 2011, Timberlake, who has been focused on acting and reviving failed social networks, told Playbody magazine a return to music isn't on his radar.
But if Billboard's sources are to be believed, Timberlake hasn't just been thinking about getting back in the music game — he's planning on releasing a full-fledged Timbaland-produced album "more sooner than later."
All we can do now is wait.
UPDATE: Timberlake's big announcement: "To whom it may concern...I think I'M READY!"
All we can do now is wait until Monday.

Well as Cloud starts to flavor in the marketplace with its private and public essence - where do we really stop over consolidation of computing and storage ?We have been weaving all Data Centers spread across geos to formulate a true global cloud embossing it with high availability and performance ( I better be ssshhh with security over clouds in todays time :-).
But what if the planet Black's Out, what if all the data centers formulating our Clouds hit disaster's,- how would one define availability in these cases? I know, I know - I am being Extreme - but its snowing bad out there and I am force to think something that will heat the chilled brain.
Up there, are a dozens of Satellite's laying eggs ( well I know they are busy doing some critical task) - but then lets make the "Cloud" word a reality and weave even the Satellite that are umbrellaed under them.

Sorry to touch these personal things but I > think they have large technical implications and therefore should be > known to cluster developers. I left Scyld in December of 2002. The technical implications of my departure are have been very good for BProc. My current employer (Los Alamos National Lab) is funding further BProc development. Working on BProc and related things is my full-time job. Since I left Scyld, Cray has also funded some of the work adding debugger support to BProc. I haven't brought BProc under LANL's umbrella the way I did with Scyld. My experience with Scyld taught me to never let your management get confused about who owns what. While Scyld uses BProc, they did not support very much development. A lot of good integration work has been done by Scyld but the BPRoc (2.x) version they are currently distributing is remarkably similar to what I had when I started there. The changes consist almost entirely of bug fixes and hooks to facilitate cluster management. I understand that a small startup isn't going to fund a large development effort but the amount of time available for improvement was very disappointing. That contributed to my decision to leave but it wasn't the primary reason. Since the DOE has made an attempt to fund work at Scyld but they seemed... umm... uninterested. There has been MUCH more work improving BProc during the last year than during the one before it. During the first 9 months since I left, the process management was almost entirely rewritten, full ptrace (gdb, strace) support was added and it was ported to Linux 2.4. Since then there have been smaller added features, a LOT of testing and a port to PowerPC. Anyway, the bottom line is, my leaving Scyld has been very good for BProc development. Oh, and yes, I am on bad terms with their management although I'm still on good terms with the technical people who were there when I was there. > (Sorry for this non-technical entry on bproc-users, I hope I'll be > less off-topic next time.)

Best Kids' Parties: Robots
Name: Asher (1)
Location: Spokane, Washington
Asher's first birthday theme was robots! His room is decorated with robots and every month he has taken a picture in the same chair with his green robot, so it was only fitting that the green robot was featured front and center on the mantle.
The decor was mostly obtained from Asher's room. I made the robot pendant bunting and purchased the "Happy Birthday" banner from Target. I also purchased the adorable "space cadets" party set from Meri Meri, which included cupcake liners, plates, cups, napkins, banner, and cupcake toppers.
The party was on a Sunday at 3:30 pm, so for food, I kept it simple and had easy finger foods - hummus with pita chips and veggies, sandwich wraps, chips and salsa, pirate's booty (Asher's favorite), cupcakes and ice cream.
Including the invites which were a free printable on "On to Baby" blog, everything was probably under $60. There were about 25 people that came and everyone seemed to have a great time, especially Asher!
Thanks, Megan!

Schoolboy brothers Ronan and Conor McGarvey, who make pens from wood in their back garden, breached Ireland's tightest security cordon and written the deal of their young business lives.
On Monday they gave President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their daughters Malia and Sasha special gifts of pens made from Donegal bog oak and ash.
The first lady and her daughters received theirs when they rejoined the president in Northern Ireland on Tuesday following a 24-hour private visit in Dublin.
Ronan, 16, and Conor, 13, from the west Donegal Gaeltacht, plotted to target all the G8 leaders for pen gifts when they scored a hit on a junior business awards show on RTE television last month.
They wrote to the G8 conference resort at Lough Erne near Enniskillen and to embassies of the G8 leaders offering gift packs.
The resort, bound by security arrangements, said gifts had already been selected by the Foreign Office in Britain and they heard nothing from the embassies.
The boys believed their biggest international promotion gig had failed – but they were wrong.
Ronan said, "We had given up on our offer but then we got the call. We would have loved to put a special inscription on the president's pen but we just didn't have the time. We managed to make up a special presentation wooden bowl with a pen for each member of the family standing in it.
"We are especially thrilled that our gift will be flying to the U.S. in Air Force One."
Two of the pens are made of Irish bog oak sourced from bogland near Inver outside Donegal town. Another is made from ordinary Donegal oak and the fourth is made from Donegal ash.
The brothers' dream is that the president will use his pen for personal signatures next St Patrick's Day in Washington.
The brothers, pupils at the Rosses Community School in Dungloe, set up Donegal Pens in September 2009, in a shed in their back garden. They now have their unique pens carved from a wood-turning machine stocked in 29 shops in Ireland and three in Germany.

President Obama released a 7-minute video called "Forward" last week. It's the usual Obama meme of Bush wrecked everything and obstructionist Republicans are halting progress. No mention of the fact that the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate by large majorities for the first two years of Obama's term.
The video begins by saying how incredibly bad things were in 2008, when Bush was president. You know, when the annual deficit was roughly 1/3 of what it is today. Then it goes on to tout President Obama's accomplishments, like saving the economy (pay no attention to the real unemployment rate behind the curtain), and the auto industry (debatable).
Plus he, like, totally fixed the over-regulated health insurance industry by adding more regulations. Or something.
But then!! The evil Republicans came in, and instead of "working together to lift America up, [they] were waging a campaign to tear the president down." Following that statement is a montage of prominent Republicans publically saying, "Vote no!" to President Obama's policies.
Democrats practically sneer as they say, "Republicans are the Party of No," like it's a bad thing. It's never wrong to say no when you disagree with something. Heck, not a single Democrat agreed with President Obama's proposed budget, so why don't we call them the Party of No?
The word NO can be a good thing when it's the answer to the question of whether or not to spend money that's just not there. It would be amazing to live in a land where everyone worked according to their ability, and took only according to their need -- but we don't. We live in an imperfect world, where people work as hard as they need to in order to pay for the things they want/need to buy.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. We have family, friends, activities, hobbies, etc. that enhance our lives. We have goals and ambitions in our professional lives too. The trick is to find that balance that works for us. The government coming in and demanding that people start paying other people's bills is not an incentive to anyone to be as productive as possible.
Videos like this one are incredibly frustrating because they sound wonderful but are not based in reality. Of course prosperity for all would be wonderful, but money doesn't grow on trees. Taking money from someone that's earned it to pay someone else's medical bills (or any bills) isn't charity -- it's theft.
Nothing wrong with saying no to that.

Jun 11, 2012 (CIDRAP News) – Clinicians are heeding antiviral prescribing guidance changes made over the past decade because of antiviral resistance and a greater focus on protecting high-risk patients, particularly during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, researchers reported today.
The report is one of two new studies on antiviral dispensing published in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses. Both compared data from prescribing databases with US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) flu surveillance data and found that antiviral prescription trends are a useful adjunct for monitoring flu patterns.
Prescribing reflected CDC guidance
In the first study, researchers from eight Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) Project medical care organizations tracked antiviral medication dispensing from January 2000 through June 2010. The VSD collects vaccination and medical care data on more than 9 million members of certain medical care organizations based in six states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, California, Massachusetts, and Oregon.
The investigators compared the patterns against the backdrop of changing antiviral recommendations, and there were some notable ones during that period. Until now, few studies have assessed the impact the recommendations had on antiviral prescribing patterns, the authors report.
In 2006 when 91% of H3N2 viruses were resistant to adamantanes, the CDC recommended that clinicians stop using amantadine and rimantadine.
During the 2008-09 season, 98% of seasonal H1N1 viruses were resistant to oseltamivir (Tamiflu), which prompted a recommendation that zanamivir (Relenza) or a combination of oseltamivir and an adamantine be used. When the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus emerged a few months later, lab experts found that it was susceptible to osteltamivir, and health officials recommended using the drug as early treatment, even without lab testing and especially for high-risk groups.
The group found that antiviral use reflected CDC guidelines. In 2006, clinicians avoided adamantanes. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 97% of oseltamivir dispensings were to patients who weren't tested for influenza, and 31% went to those who weren't assigned an influenza diagnosis.
Also, 46% of oseltamivir prescriptions were written for patients with underlying conditions, including pregnancy. Compared with the prepandemic period, a much higher percentage of oseltamivir prescriptions were written during the pandemic for pregnant women.
Researchers also found a strong correlation between weekly dispensing patterns and the percentage of positive influenza tests from the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System, one of the markers the CDC uses to track flu activity. Researchers found that the patterns were similar at both the local and regional levels.
The investigators noted that the dispensing rates could be an underestimate, because some insurance plans had minimal pharmacy coverage, so dispensing data wouldn't have been recorded.
They also noted that they weren't able to directly measure, for example, the proportion of chronic pulmonary disease patients with respiratory illness who were treated with antivirals and that the system wasn't able to capture those who received oseltamivir during the pandemic through telephone dispensing methods.
Prescribing paralleled flu activity
The second study was conducted by researchers at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) who used its proprietary outpatient data to gauge weekly antiviral prescribing patterns during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. They assessed whether antiviral prescribing trends followed national patterns for doctors' visits for flulike illness, another marker the CDC uses to assess the nation's flu activity.
The researchers focused on April 2009 to April 2010, along with four antivirals prescribed in outpatient settings: oseltamivir, zanamivir, amantadine, and rimantadine. One of the databases the FDA used captures about 80% of the US drug market, and another one tracks about 2 billion prescriptions each year from retail pharmacy chains.
Weekly prescriptions of all antivirals, even the ones for which the 2009 H1N1 virus showed resistance, followed doctors' visit trends, the group reported. Oseltamivir was the primary influenza drug prescribed during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic and garnered 87% of the total antiviral market during the study period.
After the pandemic virus emerged and a nationwide public health emergency was declared, oseltamivir prescriptions saw a 30-fold increase, and zanamivir showed a ninefold increase. During the second pandemic wave that started in August 2009, oseltamivir prescriptions rose again, peaking in late October and leveling off to preseasonal flu levels by early December. The pattern for zanamivir was similar.
Some of the study limitations were that age was missing from a large percentage of the prescriptions covered in the study and that data on indications wasn't available, the authors noted. Also, amantadine has an indication for Parkinson's disease, and it's not clear how many of the prescriptions of that drug were specific to flu.
Though the system couldn't account for possible stockpiling, the researchers didn't see much sign of antiviral prescriptions ahead of the epidemic curve.
The researchers said monitoring prescriptions during a pandemic was a useful addition to other flu surveillance data and provided insights into the potential for shortages, such as the one that occurred with the pediatric oseltamivir suspension.

To be honest, I am not particularly fond of participating in business lunches. My method is to either work, or eat, but not to do both simultaneously. But even I can violate a personal rule now and then. So I convinced myself that the no-working-lunch thing was more of a guideline than a rule, and I plunged ahead with reckless abandon. I ordered a club sandwich, with turkey and bacon. My lunch partners went with a pressed Cuban and some kind of salad that was so wildly exotic that it held more fresh vegetation than the produce section of my local supermarket.
What ever happened to the board room, or the back room, or at least a dingy office with a file cabinet, a squeaky chair, a lopsided desk, and a surly receptionist tucked into the foyer? Oh well, I guess you meet wherever you can meet. And why not? The time and place isn't what the meeting is about – it's the ideas that pass through the space between the participants that really matters. And at least in this latest case, the result was positive for all concerned.
It's hard to believe that a real change can occur because of the power of a good sandwich and a casual conversation — but that's exactly what can happen if you apply yourself. The airport restaurant is my favorite place to meet and chat — although I will readily admit that I generally limit myself to a large coffee, since it's mega-dose of caffeine lends a certain intensity to my already enthusiastic embrace of the airport as the center of my existence. Besides, nobody needs to hear my list of reasons why my home airport is the best place in the world to relocate to, while I have a mouthful of egg salad. That would be impolite, borderline disgusting, and undeniably counterproductive. A man needs to know his limits.
Lunch is not a limitation, as it turns out. Neither is breakfast, a mid-day snack, or an early dinner. If you have the chance to sit across a table from a potentially interested airport user or tenant, let me heartily endorse the airport restaurant as a great place to have that conversation. Whether your airport boasts a high-end gourmet restaurant, or a vending machine nestled between a Mr. Coffee dispenser and a roll-away tool box — nothing sells the idea of your airport's charms like an hour or two on the field, in person. Marketing is marketing. There's nobody better for the job than you, trust me.
As an added bonus, and a truly lasting conversation starter, you never know who you might meet, or who might brush past you in the FBO. Even here in little 'ol Winter Haven we have had the likes of John Travolta, Elizabeth Taylor, and Harrison Ford saunter past the counter on their way from the ramp to the parking lot. Who knows what regal personalities might grace your field one day — or how much of a hand you might have in making that event come to pass?
And to think, it might all start with something as simple as a cup of coffee, a bite to eat, and a casual chat.

Which is Better... A Microwave or More Countertop Space?
I know the question above is totally ridiculous considering so many live without microwaves and countertop space, but as I sit here, a week after my husband decided to banish our microwave (pictured above) for more countertop space (also pictured above), I wonder which is better...a microwave or more countertop space?
After all, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking and creating, and with the microwave, there's really only one workspace, and that's located in a corner. What do you think?

Authorities have been exploring whether members of the Bloods gang are involved in the killing of an NIH researcher shot outside of his home while returning home from choir practice, recently unsealed court records show, but police said Monday that they do not believe there is a link.
According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed in U.S. District Court, Peter Marvit was shot after parking his car in front of the Belair-Edison home of a witness to a series of robberies committed in Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties and Baltimore City.
The witness had been threatened in the days before Marvit's shooting, and there had been attempted break-ins at the person's home, records show. A vacant home tagged with gang symbols and searched by police in connection with the robberies was also torched and burned to the ground.
"It is not yet known whether this shooting is related to the intimidating texts and phone calls or attempted break-ins, but it is of concern to investigators in light of the communications indicating that the witness is being watched at his/her home," an FBI agent wrote in a search warrant affidavit filed Sept. 21 and made public last week.
Police said Monday, however, that they do not believe the robberies and Marvit's death are connected. Last week, officials released to the public security camera footage of two males that appear to be running away from the block where Marvit was shot.
"We have possible persons of interest identified based on video surveillance put out last week - potential names of individuals," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. "There's no intelligence at this point associating [those people] to any gang activity or affiliation within that neighborhood. Baltimore Police are still exploring the Marvit case as a possible robbery gone bad."
Authorities in three jurisdictions, along with the FBI, have been investigating a series of commercial armed robberies that occurred this summer. On July 4, a Royal Farms store on Dundalk Avenue was robbed, and Baltimore Police pursued a 2003 Dodge Intrepid described by victims as being the escape vehicle.
One of the suspects was identified as Quindell Rayshawn Gardner, a 21-year-old man who police say is a confirmed member of the Bloods gang. He is being held without bond on armed robbery charges.
The Intrepid was later found in the 600 S. Brice St in Carrollton Ridge. Police said Dion Mitchell Doram, 22, was observed sitting on the steps of a nearby house and was arrested and confessed to two of the robberies, police say. A third suspect was seen carrying a large object wrapped in an American flag near the area where the car was abandoned - police said he fled, but they recovered an American flag blanket that was concealing a 12-gauge Slugster shotgun.
Inside the vehicle, police found a black bandana, gloves, a backpack, and other items that police said were similar to those used or worn during one or more of the commercial armed robberies.
After his arrest, Gardner said his home address was 3446 Auchentoroly Terrace, overlooking Druid Hill Park. Though the house was vacant and in foreclosure, police said they searched and found a lime green bag that matched what was used by robbers in several of the store stick-ups. A few days after Gardner's arrest, the three-story home burned to the ground. News reports at the time said flames could be observed "shooting out" of all three floors.
A report of the fire provided by the fire marshal's office says that the cause was "incendiary," and that there were four distinct places from where the blaze originated.
Police found a witness to the robberies who had been involved in at least one of them, and who testified before a grand jury on Sept. 13, 2012. Between Sept. 12 and Sept. 14, the witness received several threatening text messages. Some read, "I whaching [sic] you ... Just know," "I goin to get U .. I'm goin to grab u, and "Don't worry. I goin to get u."
At one point, the caller told the witness to turn off his or her bathroom lights. Those lights weren't on, but the neighbor's lights were, the affidavit says.
There were then two attempted break-ins at the witness' home, the FBI agent wrote. Another resident of the home once heard thumps near the kitchen, and saw the kitchen window was damaged. On a second occasion, someone unsuccessfully tried to open the kitchen window and broke a figurine on the ledge, records show.
Marvit, a 51-year-old who was involved in city arts education and had no criminal record, was shot to death in the 2800 block of Chesterfield Avenue. He parked down the street from his home, and was shot while exiting his vehicle. While police early on posited that Marvit may have been the victim of a robbery attempt, the affidavit says his wallet and cell phone were not stolen, "suggesting it was not a robbery attempt gone wrong."
But Guglielmi, the police spokesman, said police believe that may still be the motive. "We have no intelligence to link this robbery investigation by the FBI to Dr. Marvit's case," he said.
If the same people making the threats were involved in the shooting, the high-profile attention on the case apparently did not deter them. The next day, a neighbor reported seeing a suspicious person standing in the witness' backyard for a period of time, records show.

What We're Doing On This PIPA/SOPA Day Of Protest: Keeping You Involved
from the to-black-out-or-not-to-black-out dept
Obviously, however, we support the actions lots of other sites have taken in response to this ridiculous attempt to regulate the internet, based on fairy tales and no actual evidence from the legacy content businesses. The sites that have decided to go with a full blackout deserve the utmost respect for taking a true stand on the matter. Similarly, some other sites are adding their voice to the protest in different ways -- whether it's highlighting problems with the bills or pushing people to call Congress.
That last point seemed like a good idea to us, so with each post today, we'll also be posting a widget that will allow you to call your Senators' office, and express your displeasure with PIPA. We've also "grayed out" much of the site, and have a specific link at the top to StopTheWall.us, where you can find out more. I will actually be doing a bunch of meetings with Senate staffers later today, and I hope (and fully expect) to hear phones ringing off the hook while I'm there.

On December 5, we boomeranged to and from the airport. Here is a picture of Ludo and Clem in the inside of Ivan the Terra Bus on our way from McMurdo to the airport, Pegasus Field, for our flight to Byrd.
And here is a picture of Ludo and Clem in the back of a Delta on our way back from the airport to McMurdo.
In the pictures they seem just as happy returning from the airport as they were going, but I think that was just for the camera.
We were all very excited about our flight to Byrd because we were already a week delayed in getting into the deep field. (Camps in the middle of Antarctica, outside of McMurdo Station, are called "the deep field.") We boarded Ivan just after lunch for the 1 hour and 10 minute ride to Pegasus Field. Once at Pegasus, we were at the passenger terminal of the airport, a triple-wide trailer house that sits on a sled so it can be moved (it also serves as the Galley for airport workers), when we were told that the flight was canceled due to weather at Byrd. We were all a little sad because we want to get to Byrd to start collecting our science data. Our flight was canceled for good reason though; there was less than 100-meter visibility with high winds and blowing snow at Byrd, so there was no way a plane could land! We headed back into McMurdo and made it in time for dinner.
McMurdo is a small town and slightly more than 1,100 people are in there now, so all of our friends noticed that we were back. Everyone keeps asking when we are going to get to the field. Well, we are going to try again today, December 7. We are scheduled for another flight with transport to the airport at 1645 this afternoon. Take off is scheduled for 7 PM and we'll land at Byrd at around 10:30 PM if all goes well.
Actually, I think we were all secretly happy to have another Wednesday lunch in McMurdo because on Wednesdays we get cookies. We will all take a few extra cookies in our backpacks for a midnight snack at Byrd, if we make it tonight.
I am particularly anxious to get to Byrd soon because, this year, I will only be with the team until there. I will not be accompanying the team on the traverse. Once the rest of the team has left Byrd, I will head back to my office in NASA Goddard (Greenbelt, MD). My job this year is make sure the field methods, (drilling of the ice cores, taking the snow pit measurements and running the radars) are consistent with last year's, and the team is trained and ready to go. Then I get to go home. I would love to stay with the team but I have an 18-month old son at home and last year I missed his first Holiday Season. This year, I want to be home. I am lucky to work with such a strong team so I do not have to be here for the entire time. Working in Antarctica is truly an amazing experience but with the austral summer being in December means that many polar scientists and workers spent their holidays away from family.
Keep your fingers crossed for good weather and hopefully the next post will be from Byrd!

The Byrnes product threw the first complete-game shutout of his career as the Tigers downed the Blue Devils 7-0 on Friday.
CLEMSON — Clemson pitcher Daniel Gossett gave a good-natured postgame shout-out to Duke right-fielder Jeff Kremer in the immediate aftermath of Gossett's 7-0 masterpiece on Friday.
It appeared momentarily as if the Byrnes product would have to settle merely for a complete game as Kremer sprinted to third on Chris Marconcini's double, but he stopped there with two outs before Gossett retired one final batter.
"Hats off to him and I appreciate that," Gossett said with a wide smile. "I told (catcher) Kevin (Bradley) as soon as I went and shook his hand that the run should've scored and I'll have to shake (Kremer's) hand a little bit when I see him."
Gossett tossed Clemson's first complete game shutout almost five years to the day since Graham Stoneburner blanked North Carolina State 2-0. The sophomore righty allowed only five hits and no walks with three strikeouts while throwing 120 pitches (83 strikes). He retired the first 13 batters and held the Blue Devils to one hit through seven innings. His longest previous stint was 7 1/3 against Wake Forest last season.
"This is the longest I've ever pitched in my entire life and my body is tired," Gossett said, adding that he didn't have to talk his way into finishing things off in the ninth, although he was ready to protest any thought of removal.
"I saw (pitching coach Dan Pepicelli) go over to coach (Jack) Leggett who had called him over and they were talking about putting Bradley in to catch, and my heart started beating and I was like, no, no (you're not taking me out). I was ready to argue to go back out there and get the ninth."
Leggett acknowledged there was no thought of relieving his ace.
"His pitch count was where it needed to be," Leggett said, "and he's built himself up to this point in the season and we didn't want to lose any rhythm and it was good to see him finish the ballgame."
Gossett threw a stellar seven innings against Virginia in his last outing only to watch his bullpen blow a lead in an eventual extra-inning loss. He lowered his ERA Friday to an ACC-best 1.09 among pitchers who have thrown at least nine innings.
"He's just a great pitcher and when he's out there he makes my job easier and our defense's job easier," Clemson catcher Garrett Boulware said. "He keeps the ball down and doesn't try to do too much. His quick tempo just makes everything so much smoother for us when he gets into the type of groove he was in."
Four different Tigers had multiple hits, led by center-fielder Thomas Brittle's 4-for-4, which tied his career-high for hits. Steven Duggar (Byrnes) and Boulware each had two hits and an RBI while Jon McGibbon went 2-for-4 and scored twice. Duggar pushed his average to .306 while Clemson's 14 hits matched its second-highest output this season.
RBI singles by Brittle and Boulware in the fourth and fifth innings staked Clemson to a 2-0 lead before the Tigers added three in the sixth, helped by Duke third-baseman Jordan Betts' two errors — first a dropped grounder and then an errant throw into right field.
Brittle is now 12-for-24 in his last six games as he's been more comfortable since being moved from the top of the lineup into the eighth spot five games ago.
"I think that might help take a little bit of weight off my shoulders," Brittle said. "At the top of the order I might have been pressing too much trying to jumpstart things and now I don't feel like I have to be the generator for the offense. I'm just feeling more comfortable and seeing the ball better and getting it more on the ground and hitting more line drives."
Duke had five hits, with two apiece in the eighth and ninth. The Blue Devils had runners at first and second in the eighth with one out before Gossett induced a meager fly-out and then snared a liner right back to the box. He pumped his fist and spiked the ball to the ground as his teammates emerged from the dugout to greet him.
Oddly, Gossett admitted he didn't have his best stuff even as his numbers proclaimed it the best outing of his collegiate career.
"No, there's no way. I'm not taking anything away from the Duke hitters, but I wasn't locating my slider very well and my off-speed was hit and miss. I was able to keep a good balance on my fastball and stayed ahead in the count.
"It was good to know I could come out in the eighth and ninth and still have good enough pitching to get by. We've all been working hard and it was good to see a little bit of the results."

text: FCA considers promotion, conflicts of interest and governance of dark pools in thematic review Financial Services Regulatory Alert Share this 11 AUG 2016 Par: Michael McKee Ian Mason Chris Whittaker On 21 July 2016, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published the results of a thematic review, in which they examined 'dark pools' - trading venues with no pre-trade transparency, where the price and volume of all orders are hidden and anonymous. These include broker crossing networks (BCNs) and 'dark' Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs). The FCA found that users welcome the additional liquidity, the lower risk of information leakage and the potential beneficial impact on pricing and costs that dark pools offer. The FCA thematic review did not observe any failures to comply with regulatory requirements but did identify a number of areas where improvement is required by dark pool operators. In light of the FCA's findings, dark pool operators should: review promotional materials to ensure they clearly and consistently explain pool operation to users and ensure there is a robust internal governance process for the review and approval of marketing material with legal/compliance oversight improve the monitoring of activity in their pools with a focus on operational integrity, best execution, client preferences and unwanted trading activity including market abuse; an do more to identify and manage conflicts of interest, including strengthening policies and procedures for escalation and oversight, as well as regularly refreshing independent assessments. Dark pools, market fragmentation and regulatory change Dark pools provide users with an alternative trading venue to public exchanges, such as the London Stock Exchange. By trading 'in the dark' as opposed to on 'lit' markets, dark pool users do not disclose the size or the price of their trades to the wider market. Historically, this enabled institutional investors to execute large block orders at better prices than that which was possible on lit markets, where the size of their order would result in an unfavourable price movement against them. Today, dark pool users may a have mix of orders with differing objectives underway at any point in time and spread across a number of dark and lit trading venues. The breaking up of a single order (parent) into smaller (child) orders, once the preserve of more sophisticated traders, is now common practice and built into the vast majority of automated trading activity. Dark pool users are wholesale investors. The FCA noted that while retail investors may have all or part of their order processed by a broker in a dark pool, there are no operators who provide retail clients with direct access to UK dark pools. The FCA's thematic review comes in the context of increasing technological advances in electronic trading, and significant fragmentation of the UK equity market. Whilst the FCA noted that electronic trading across multiple trading venues, including dark pools, has led to higher speeds and lower costs, the regulator acknowledged concerns that price transparency and price formation may be at risk if dark markets, which derive their prices from lit markets, become disproportionally large compared to lit markets. The FCA stated that at present, dark market volumes are considered too small to pose an imminent threat to the price formation process, but that they would continue to monitor market developments. The FCA reminded dark pool operators that the upcoming MiFID II regulations will have a significant impact on wholesale markets, including a direct impact on BCNs, which represent a sizeable component of market liquidity. Whether and how firms may choose to restructure their existing businesses, including dark pools, remains uncertain pending the finalisation of MiFID II rules. Thematic review The FCA thematic review involved a desktop review of practitioner and academic research, as well as marketing materials produced by dark pool operators since 2014. The FCA then sought detailed information from a sample of dark pool users and operators. After reviewing this information, the FCA met buy-side investors who are significant users of dark pools. From these discussions, the regulator sought to understand the user experience as these markets have evolved, the role of dark pools in their trading activities and specific issues that they thought worthy of note. The FCA then met with operators of dark trading venues, primarily focusing on BCNs, but also meeting dark MTF operators, to evaluate the products and services they provided, their governance structure and the identification, management and disclosure of conflicts of interest. Areas for improvement The FCA found that dark pool operators have responded to public concern and regulatory interventions by addressing business model design, promotional materials in use, and the management of conflicts of interest. Nonetheless, poor practices and areas for improvement were identified. A number of these areas are highlighted below. Client onboarding and preferences Users are sensitive to who is in the pool with them. BCN operators generally offer their users the ability to restrict counterparties or counterparty types against whom their orders are allowed to execute. For example, users may choose to restrict or wholly avoid interaction with high frequency traders (HFT) or electronic liquidity providers (ELPs). Whilst operators noted that the number of users making use of these restrictions was small, the FCA found that the collection, storage and processing of these preferences was difficult to audit, and systemically weak across the industry. The FCA also found that dark pool operators were not sufficiently systemic in ensuring the prevention of trades with restricted counterparties. As a result, a user may find its order being matched with a counterparty that it has a clear preference not to trade with. Weak processes may give rise to the risk that the dark pool operators are not meeting their best execution obligations. Best execution obligations include the obligation to ensure that orders are executed in line with specific client instructions where provided. Operational design and integrity The FCA also considered how dark pool operators managed the conflict between routing a client's order in the best interest of the client and operating a dark pool. The FCA noted that bank operators consistently route orders to their own BCN pool before routing elsewhere. The FCA stated that this was acceptable, provided that operators adhere to best execution obligations, avoid positive or negative venue discrimination, manage resting times and support and evidence all of the above by actively monitoring trade activity. The FCA also observed that some operators sent client orders to their own BCN pool and then forwarded orders automatically (partially executed or otherwise) to other BCNs under a Reciprocal Access Agreement. Router technology can stipulate basic order instructions but may not necessarily preserve specific client preferences. The FCA observed that users were not clear on whether their preferences were preserved under onward routing and had no way to monitor or verify if those preferences were honoured. The FCA also identified the poor practice of in-house trading desks being granted access to BCNs via different infrastructure to clients, which gave operators a potential latency advantage, constrained only by management controls. Monitoring of activity in the pool The FCA stated that monitoring capacity was the weakest area of the end-to-end trading process related to dark pools that the regulator identified in the thematic review. The regulator noted that the ability to analyse and report on individual client transaction-level trading activity on the same day is beyond the technical capacity of most operators; as most take several days or a week to generate reports. Whilst the regulator acknowledged the challenge of trade monitoring in an ultra-fast environment, the regulator stated that all operators must be able to monitor and ensure that they are meeting their best execution obligations, and correct any deficiencies where appropriate. All pool operators have responsibilities to monitor for market abuse, the integrity of their operational platform and those features which they have promoted as attributes of their pool. Where operators purport to be able to identify and protect against unwanted activity ('toxicity' or 'aggressive HFT' for example) they must ensure that they have in place appropriately and clearly defined metrics and controls in order to be able to effectively monitor and take action against firms that exhibit unwanted types of activity. Key regulatory messages Dark pool operators need to provide clear detail as to the design and operation of a dark pool - particularly how it interacts with other activities on the operator's wider electronic trading platform. Operators should improve the monitoring of their dark pools - in particular, operational integrity (accuracy of reference pricing, capacity, stability), best execution (where applicable), client preferences and unwanted trading activity. Operators should do more to identify and manage conflicts of interest, including both client vs client and operator vs client. Users should be clear about their rationale for using or not using dark pools, and conduct adequate due diligence to understand the pool operating model. Operators should improve governance and the strength of the second line of defence, which the FCA noted was weaker than expected. Users and operators should remain alert as markets evolve, particularly regarding the emergence of new participants and the shift of technological advantage among participants. Users and operators should careful consider the new MiFID II rules and the impact on existing and planned business models. How we can assist you It is important, given demonstrated regulator visibility and insight into this area, that dark pool operators and users consider the FCA's thematic review in detail. DLA Piper has a dedicated regulatory team with extensive experience acting for financial market participants, including those that operate and use UK dark pools. We can advise and assist you to develop and implement robust policies, procedures, systems and controls to meet your regulatory obligations, including on best execution and market abuse. If you would like advice on your regulatory compliance or dealings with the FCA, please contact the authors.

Happy Happy Valentines Month!! It took me FOREVER to figure out what to do for my first craft for the big American Crafters competition! But I finally figured it out!! My competitors are very very talented!! So lets hope my craft gets lots of votes:)
Window Screen
Pink and Red Acrylic Paint
I used the paper as a cutting edge! I cut a heart out of the paper and taped the paper to the Window Screen and cut it out! I cut one big heart, one middle sized heart, and one smaller heart!!
HUGE NOTE: WEAR GLOVES! That stuff stinkin' hurts when it cuts you!
We had ONE sunny day this week so I decided I would spray paint, and it was a MAJOR FAIL! This is when I started freaking out a little bit, since I only had like 3 days to come up with and finish my craft for this competition!So you need to stick with acrylic paint!! Also place the heart on something like aluminum foil so the paint sticks to the heart better!!
So now you just let your 3 hearts dry for a bit!
Then your going to stick them all together!! I used some thick double sided tape so it gave the hearts a little 3D look!
Then I just stuck it to the front door!!
Pretty Cute huh!?! I haven't seen anyone in bloggy world do something like this before (and if they have don't tell me haha I was proud to have come up with this on my own!)
So how do you guys like my first craft for the competition!?! Hopefully its as good as my fellow competitors! Everyone needs to head over to American Crafters and vote on your favorite craft!!
I won't pressure you to vote for me hehehe but you know I'd love your vote:)
Oh yes and if anyone was wondering.. only 25 more days until my Kinsley Mae arrives!! Hip Hip Hooray!

SEC Morning Five: 11.02.11 EditionPosted by Brian Joyce on November 2nd, 2011
- Rumors are circulating in Lexington that guard Stacey Poole, Jr., is frustrated and considering transferring from the University of Kentucky. Stacey's father got involved saying, "I can't confirm the rumor at this time." Poole didn't receive much playing time last year for the Cats, and with star recruit after star recruit committing to John Calipari's team, it's not likely that his court time will increase in the future. Reports indicate that Poole has not impressed coach John Calipari in practice thus far this year, and the player has become increasingly disappointed with his role.
- Reports out of Vanderbilt's practices are that freshman guard Dai Jon Parker is going to help tremendously with the Commodores' shaky perimeter defense. Vanderbilt struggled mightily last year in that area, especially with the defensive liability of starting point guard Brad Tinsley. Kevin Stallings' team ranked ninth in points allowed last year in the SEC. If Parker can provide shutdown defense on the speedy backcourts populating the SEC, he could see significant playing time in his first year with the 'Dores.
- Speaking of the Commodores, Vandy coach Kevin Stallings feels somewhat fortunate that injured center Festus Ezeli wasn't out longer than the expected six to eight weeks on his sprained MCL. "Anytime a guy (gets hurt) in the knee area, the first thing you think of is he done for the season?" Stallings said. "Fortunately that was not the case." Stallings knows that not having Ezeli manning in the post for a while will have a huge effect on his team's play. Anticipating early season tests against Louisville, Xavier, and several other ranked teams, Stallings said, "we're not the team that's picked in the Top 10 without him."
- We mentioned this yesterday, but Chris Herren's inspiring documentary, UnGuardable, aired on ESPN on Tuesday night chronicling his ugly battle with drug addiction. The story hits very close to home for Florida Gators forward Erik Murphy, according to the Gainesville Sun. Murphy's father asked Herren to mentor his son after Murphy had some troubles of his own last season. Murphy learned a lot from Herren both on and off the court, and here's hoping the lessons will leave a lasting positive impression to keep him out of trouble and playing basketball.
- Speaking of trouble, Auburn announced that head coach Tony Barbee has suspended a pair of players for a violation of team rules. There is no word yet on the rules broken by guards Tony Neysmith and Josh Langford, nor is there information about how long the suspension will run. Neysmith averaged 2.4 points and 1.3 assists per game while Langford averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last season. Auburn, a team rebuilding after a 4-12 SEC record in Barbee's first season on the Plains, really just needs as many live bodies as it can suit up at this point, so this is rather unfortunate news for Tiger fans.

Sparked necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
TechSparked / techsparked.com
TechSparked is a new social webspace for people to share, learn, create, and meet people that are sparked by creative and innovative interactive technology (touchscreens, multitouch, gesture interaction, eye tracking, tangible interaction, etc). There are various social networking aspects to the site. We aim to have a friendly environment and involve not just people already sparked (inspired) by technology, but spark new people too.
TechSparked is not yet launched yet and is currently in development. TechSparked is developed by technology sparked people for technology sparked people. We aim to give people a platform to share creative technology projects and teach new people how to create their own. You can think of TechSparked as the deviantArt site for technology.
Our current market is fairly niche, but growing. We aim to attract anyone that is interesting in or sparked (inspired) by interactive technology.
Our current audience:
- Use the latest devices on the market
- Are researchers, hardware hackers, tinkerers, designers, technology innovators, creative and finding new uses for current technology
- Male age 13 - 35
We'd like to expand to:
- Attract creative female users too.
- Involve technology sparked people, technology companies, researchers (academics), professors (academics), hardware hackers, tinkerers and the general hobbyist.
This means we're looking for a design that's open enough and can fit into various categories and demographics.
Here's a couple examples of creative interactive technology projects that would be on our website and that a user could learn to create as well as network and meet those interested in similar projects:
1) MTmini - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQpr3W-YmcQ
1) Reactable - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm_FzLya8y4
3) The EyeWriter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84H-xLrLvvk
4) Laser Harp - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7um3sX7jzxQ
5) Slider - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqi5l-LwA5w
6) Laser Graffiti - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWcAkxzkv4
We want this to be as original as possible and therefore we're open to various possibilities.
We are looking for two main things: Logo and Mascot
1) Logos must contain the word "techsparked". The name should stand on it's own - like twitter and facebook.
2) 'techsparked' is not CaSe SeNsiTiVe, although we'd only like these variations used (techSparked, techsparked, Techsparked, TechSparked).
3) The logo should be inviting, friendly, and web 2.0/3.0.
4) The logo can contain any number of colors. We are partial to blue (or something that compliments blue), but this is not required. Multiple color versions are a plus. A solid, non gradient version that works in print is also welcomed.
5) We'd like to emphasize the social and community aspects of the brand to keep the feeling open and friendly to new people.
6) Feel free to be creative in how you address the 'techsparked' text - you may integrate the mascot in the text or a highly stylysed text treatment to emphasize any part of the 'tech' or 'sparked' text.
7) Nothing too 'geeky'
1) We'd like a site mascot (how twitter has the bird, mahalo has Hawaiian characters, digg has the robot, etc) that'll be used throughout the site. The mascot can be a single creature/person or (better yet) a family of variations. Mascot(s) should be friendly, welcoming, and unique.
Mascot examples are included in attachment.
We are working on the website but awaiting logo for colors (right now we're focused on using blues). We may ask the winner to help with other design elements if they'd like.
We would like the final product delivered in PSD for Photoshop or AI if you're using Illustrator or both.
Questions welcomed!

Disclaimer about nutrition info: Grandmother's Kitchen provides nutrition facts for the recipes we share from our own and other kitchens. How we calculate nutrition info for recipes. Grandmothers' Kitchen uses the USDA nutritional information database which classifies thousands of food and their nutritional analysis. We use this extensive data to calculate nutrition totals of recipes from around the web. Please note, the information provided here is approximate. Totals do not include: possible substitutions (i.e. "OR"-ed ingredients), optional ingredients, or ingredients without a measurement (e.g. "to taste"). Nutrition calculations are based on a per serving basis and include all the ingredients in the original recipe. For some recipes, the chef has not provided the serving size, so in this case we use a standard serving portion for that type of recipe (ie. a 9 x 12 inch cake pan generally serves 16 pieces). The ingredients in a recipe will vary from the original recipe to those being used in your kitchen. Nutritional info will vary from brand to brand, and from product to product. A home grown tomato may have a different micronutrient make up as a mass farmed tomato. This is not something that our analyses can tell you. Always consult a registered dietician or your physician before embarking on any diet plan which relies on these numbers and for any other questions.
