There was a loud cheer in New York this week—originating from Queens, to be exact—and it had nothing to do with biotech. The New York Mets, for many years Big Apple baseball's second-class citizens, stormed through the Chicago Cubs in a four-game demolition and are now headed to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2000 (a World Series most Met fans would like to forget).
For Met fans who double as biotech traders—I'm assuming Mr. and Mrs. Met (pictured above) aren't among them—it was probably a nice distraction from the continued life sciences carnage on Wall Street. The good news? That distraction is going to continue for a few more weeks, because the World Series kicks off next Tuesday.
In the meantime, your East Coast headlines are below.
—Gritstone Oncology emerged with a $102 million Series A round this week. While the cancer vaccine startup is based in the Bay Area, CEO Andrew Allen said that some of its informatics and sequencing work will take place in Cambridge, MA—the home of rival Neon Therapeutics, which launched with a $55 million round earlier this month.
—Cambridge is also home to a third player in the emerging cancer vaccines competition: Caperna, the latest startup created by Moderna Therapeutics. Caperna is developing messenger RNA cancer vaccines meant to work similarly to the "neoantigen" vaccines Gritstone and Neon are working on. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel told me this week that Caperna's pitch is quicker acting vaccines that trigger a bigger immune response. My story, which you can read here, also has updates on Moderna's status.
—Alex Lash reported this week that the backers of LabCentral and Cambridge BioLabs, two well-known Cambridge-based biotech incubators, are on the verge of closing a $150 million fund called BioInnovation Capital. The fund is expected to invest in 15 or more biotech startups, though not just the ones that are tenants LabCentral or Cambridge BioLabs. The move is part of a broad strategy to foster biotech startups across the country—the LabCentral group is also building new incubators in San Diego and Raleigh-Durham, NC.
— Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB) said this week it would cut its 8,000-person workforce by about 11 percent and shelve a number of programs, among them preclinical efforts in fibrosis and immunology. The restructuring is part of a bid by Biogen to funnel its resources towards its advancing, yet risky drug candidates for Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and spinal muscular atrophy. A spokesperson confirmed to Xconomy that about 400 of the job cuts will be in Massachusetts, with another 130 coming in Research Triangle Park, NC, and the rest overseas.
—Boston-based Zafgen (NASDAQ: ZFGN) said this week that the Prader-Willi Syndrome patient on its obesity drug, beloranib, who died in a Phase 3 study suffered a pulmonary embolism—a blood clot in the lung. It's still unclear whether beloranib was responsible, but Zafgen said that it's going to close the randomized portion of its ongoing Prader-Willi and severe obesity trials early. The company will, however, continue a six month open-label extension to the Prader-Willi study, and conduct an unblinded follow-up to that study afterwards.
—The number of gene therapy companies on the Nasdaq keeps growing. This week, Dimension Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DMTX) made its debut, raising $71.5 million in an IPO and becoming at least the eighth gene therapy company to go public since 2013. A ninth, Voyager Therapeutics, could soon follow. Dimension priced its offering at a discount, however, much like several other biotechs to attempt to go public of late.
—In other gene therapy news, Bluebird Bio (NASDAQ: BLUE) said that the first patient with beta-thalassemia—a crippling blood disease that can lead to anemia—treated with an earlier version of its gene therapy technology back in 2007 recently required two blood transfusions. The patient had gone seven years without needing one. Bluebird made clear the vector technology it uses now for its gene therapy is far superior—meaning, presumably, treatment should last longer. The next update on Bluebird's gene therapies for beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease will come at the American Society of Hematology's annual meeting in December.
—Shares of Genocea Biosciences (NASDAQ: GNCA) sank to all-time lows this week after the company disclosed that an experimental vaccine for pneumococcus failed a mid-stage trial. Genocea is suspending its work on the program and will now put its resources behind its genital herpes vaccine, which could begin Phase 3 testing next year.
—Bay Area cancer drug powerhouse Genentech inked a deal with Cambridge-based Nimbus Therapeutics to discover and develop small molecule drugs that block a target known as interleukin-1 receptor kinase 4. Nimbus didn't disclose the financial terms of the deal.
—Cambridge-based Merrimack Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MACK) won FDA approval of Onivyde, the name for its nanotherapeutic derivative of the old chemotherapy drug irinotecan. Onivyde is the first approved drug for pancreatic cancer patients who haven't responded to prior treatment with gemcitabine. It's meant to be taken in combination with 5-flourouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin. I wrote about the Phase 3 trial of Onivyde back in May 2014.
—Lexington, MA-based Synta Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SNTA) shares plummeted more than 63 percent after the company stopped early a study of its lead drug, ganetespib, because it wasn't likely to extend the lives of lung cancer patients. Synta—whose shares now trade at roughly 74 cents apiece—is still testing the drug in ovarian cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome.

984 Tuckerton Road
Marlton, NJ 08053
Brief History of Evesham Township and its Village of Olde Marlton
Welsh and English Quakers in search of farmland settled Evesham Township in the mid-seventeen century. They sailed to Philadelphia beginning in 1684, and moved across the Delaware River in search of farmland and religious freedom. Evesham, New Jersey is believed to have been named for Evesham, England, a Borough in England, near Stratford on River Avon. Although, stories have also been passed down that the Township may have taken its name in honor of Thomas Eves, one of the first settlers who came from Evesham, England and in 1676 purchased land in the area. Eves bought several tracts in the area north of Greentree Road, an area now in the vicinity of the Evesham Corporate Center on Stow Road.
The Township was originally larger than it is today; it also included what today are Mount Laurel, Medford, Lumberton, Hainesport, Shamong, and Washington Townships. The South Branch of the Rancocas on the East Side and Cropwell Creek on the West Side bound this area. Evesham Township was eventually incorporated in 1692 as one of the thirteen Townships in Burlington County. In 1802, a tract was cut off for Washington Township; in 1847, the Township was then divided in half, with the eastern half becoming Medford Township; and in 1872, Evesham was divided again, for the last time, with the northern part becoming Mount Laurel Township.
Evesham is also known as Marlton. Marlton is a name commonly associated and interchangeable with the name Evesham. The name Marlton came about in the early 19th century. Marlton stems from the name "Marl". Marl is a naturally occurring mixture of green clay with remnants of shells that was used as a fertilizer, like manure. Its discovery helped local commerce and fueled the first "building boom", which took place in the 1830s and 1840s. Marl continued to be mined locally until 1930, when the pits were finally closed. No trace of them remains today.
The Marlton area was recognized as a village in 1758. The village was named Marlton in 1845. The same year the "Evesham" Post Office and the "Evesham" Baptist Church both had their names changed to "Marlton" Post Office and the "Marlton" Baptist Church. The names remain the same today. Most maps and directional signs refer to Marlton instead of Evesham. The Historic Village, Olde Marlton, remains mostly intact and the Township requires property owners to preserve the historical integrity of buildings in the village.

Opry legend's killer up for parole
The man who killed Opry legend and "Hee Haw" star David "Stringbean" Akeman and his wife in 1973 will ask the state for his freedom Wednesday.
Convicted killer John A. Brown, 63, will appear before a member of the Tennessee Board of Parole at 9:30 a.m.
On the evening of Nov. 10, 1973, Brown and his cousin, Doug Marvin Brown, ambushed Stringbean Akeman and his wife, Estelle, as they returned home from the Grand Ole Opry. Stringbean was known to carry a lot of cash, and the Brown cousins had been looking for it in the Akemans' Ridgetop cabin.
John Brown shot Stringbean as he walked into cabin. He then chased Estelle across her front yard and shot her in the back of the head as she begged for mercy.
Both men were convicted and sentenced to serve two life sentences in prison. Doug Brown died in prison in 2003.
John Brown already has faced the parole board four times during his four decades in prison. Despite a long record of good behavior, the board has denied his request each time.
Country music legends have lined up to keep Brown behind bars. In the days leading to Brown's last hearing in 2011, Bill Anderson started an email campaign encouraging people to write letters against his release. Opry member Jan Howard spoke at the hearing.
Only one board member will cast a vote for or against parole at Wednesday's hearing. It will take up to two weeks to get an official decision from the board as a whole.
Brown is being held at the Lois M. DeBerry Special Needs Facility in Nashville.
Banjo player Grandpa Jones found the Akemans' bodies the morning after they were killed. His wife, Ramona Jones, was one of the first people on the scene.
She said she thinks about her friends each day. She wrote a letter to the parole board in advance of Wednesday's meeting.
"He still murdered two very innocent people," she said Tuesday. "Don't let him out."

Aug. 23, 2011— -- The source of earthquakes on the East Coast, like today's 5.8 temblor in eastern Virginia, can be difficult to pointpoint, unlike faults in well-studied areas of the U.S. where there are major fault lines, according to the US Geological Survey.
"Based on the data, to really be able to point out what has happened and what fault line was responsible it is definitely going to require more research. It can take several months to a year to discover the fault line," said Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey.
"We have noticed, and it's a particular characteristics of the eastern U.S. [earthquakes] tend to be felt more widely than an earthquake of the same size in California or Colorado. It's an effect of the geology of the eastern U.S," said Abreu.
Tuesday's quake was unlike anything scientists would expect in this area, which has had earthquakes in the 2 to 3 range throughout recent history. "It takes just about everybody by surprise," he added.
"The previous time time we had a 6 on the East Coast was also in Virginia, again back in the 19th century over in the Adirondacks. So it's a rare event, but not unprecedented," said Dr. Lucy Jones, a Seismologist with the US Geological Survey.
"Earthquakes happen around the world. There are magnitude 5's several times a day, around the world. They're a very common phenomenon, actually," Jones continued.
But, they can still be dangerous.
"Earthquakes are a national hazard," said David Applegate, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
On Monday, the strongest earthquake to strike Colorado in almost 40 years shook awake hundreds of people, toppled groceries off shelves and caused minor damage to homes in the southern part of the state and in northern New Mexico. No injuries were reported as aftershocks continued Tuesday.
People usually associate earthquakes with the West Coast, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, but 39 of the 50 states -- including New York and Tennessee -- have moderate to high seismic hazard risk, Applegate said.
The New Madrid fault in the central United States is particularly dangerous. The fault is among the most active in the country, running from St. Louis to Memphis.
The New Madrid fault line is best known for some of the most violent earthquakes to ever hit the U.S: a series of four in 1811 and 1812. The quakes were estimated at magnitude 7.5 to 8.0, so strong the Mississippi River reportedly flowed backward. Damage occurred as far away as Washington, D.C., and Charleston, S.C.
Some New Madrid, Mo., residents saw large cracks open in the ground. The crew of a steamboat mooring overnight along a Mississippi River island reportedly awoke to find the island had disappeared below the water.
"We have about 200 small earthquakes per year that we record," said Gary Patterson of the University of Memphis Center for Earthquake Research and Information. "Compared to California, you're getting two to three thousand smaller quakes like that, but for eastern North America, this is a hot spot, the most active seismic area east of the Rockies in the United States."
As for whether there is a big earthquake on the way for the zone, Patterson said there have been major earthquakes in the area about every 500 years in the past 1,500 years. The earthquakes happened as a part of a sequence of events, not just one main shock, he said.
Ramapo Faults Spans N.J., N.Y. and Pa.
Earlier this year, several small quakes were centered near the New Madrid fault in southeast Missouri, including some that were felt in parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No damage was reported.
CLICK HERE for more information on the fault lines across the United States.
Another well-known fault line is located in New York City. It crosses Manhattan from the Hudson River to the East River, running approximately along 125th Street.
The Ramapo Fault, another New York Metro-area fault line, runs 70 miles through New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
The fault has been quiet for about 200 years, which is part of the problem, seismologists say.
"We know in the future at some point an earthquake is going to occur but we don't really understand the rules of the game yet in this area, so we can't come with numbers and specifically tell you what the hazard is going to be," Leonardo Seeber, a research scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in New York, said.

When it comes to workforce planning, this biotechnology company is a definitive leader.
On a monthly basis, the company's talent acquisition analytics team conducts a turnover and growth analysis that is compiled into a scorecard report. In parallel, a workforce plan is created along with predictive model overlays. The team pays special attention to anticipated headcount for the year, as well as month-over-month headcount changes.
This continuous process enables the biotechnology firm to plan for talent shortages by allocating the proper resourcing to support the gaps in the model, manage and source talent more effectively, and have more insightful conversations with stakeholders.
Preview of the future
This agile workforce planning methodology may seem advanced for the majority of organizations. However, we predict in our HR Trends 2020 report that it will become the de facto standard in the near future.
The pace of disruption will only accelerate, M&A activity will increase, multiple generations–including the bot generation–will be active in the workforce, and as traditional firms continue to transform into "tech-driven companies," jobs and the very nature of human work will continuously change.
Organizations will need to position themselves for agility, and the process that supports this–workforce planning–will need to become more agile itself. But workforce planning and modeling technology adoption has yet to reach the mainstream.
From data wrangling to talent strategizing
Many organizations have attempted workforce planning with spreadsheets, which require a lot of data wrangling and cleanup to manage. One HR leader at a healthcare organization recalls trying to do workforce planning using spreadsheets. "But it was all for naught," he says.
It was only until his organization switched to cloud-based, continuous planning with data hosted by a third party that they started seeing results. With the right tool, they could perform scenario modeling, understand exactly how much money would be saved by turnover reduction, and distribute the task of planning to the people who knew what was needed.
Clearly, relegating the workforce planner's job to that of spreadsheet wrangler is no longer necessary; with advances in analytics technology, planners can become truly strategic. In the near future, having become comfortable with cloud-based HR technology solutions, more HR leaders will turn to SaaS planning solutions to:
- Become more collaborative. When workforce planning is done in a vacuum, HR and senior leaders often miss crucial feedback from line managers and other subject matter experts about requirements that are on the horizon.
- Deliver in-the-moment talent plans. When workforce plans are refreshed on a shorter cycle, they are more accurate. More organizations will develop the agile capabilities to quickly realign resources to different projects as they become more critical.
- Get predictive. HR leaders will be under pressure to accurately forecast how many employees are likely to leave so they can plan for the right number of new employees to hire and train. Analytics-driven planning will provide the foundation for future-proofing the business.
Agile workforce planning does not have to be a daunting task. Consider the following tips to help you get started:
- Engage a strong coalition of sponsors for continuous workforce planning.
- Garner support across HR, Finance, and the central corporate planning function.
- Look to reduce the number of times your team manually pulls data from disparate systems.
- When this process becomes automated and analytics-based, you can look ahead at how many open positions need to be filled, when they must be filled, and where in the organization they are needed the most.
- Look for workforce planning technology and tools that enable you to create and compare different workforce planning scenarios (each with different workforce movement and cost assumptions).
- With multiple scenarios, not only can you choose the best option for your organization, you can have contingency plans in place.

Romance. Murder. Suspense. Danger. Mystery.
Another "must not miss" selection on TCM this week!
Source: images.search.yahoo.com via PW on Pinterest
Paula was only 10 years old when her best friend and only relation, her aunt, was murdered in her home. Paula stumbled downstairs to discover her beloved aunt's body and see the back of the man who killed her racing out the door. Instantly she was wealthy…and alone. According to her late aunt's wishes, she is sent away to Italy to be educated. The police never catch the murderer or discover the motive behind the murder.
Source: Uploaded by user via Tracey on Pinterest
Fastforward some years later, and Paula (Ingrid Bergman) is now a lovely young woman studying music in Italy. Her aunt was a famous opera singer, and though Paula looks like her late aunt, she didn't inherit her musical ability. Still, Paula persists in the music lessons because she has fallen in love with her maestro's pianist, Gregory (Charles Boyer). Even though there is a significant age difference between them, they elope and decide to return to live in the house Paula inherited from her aunt – the house where her aunt was murdered.
Paula has dreams of living a life of leisure as a lady of means with an artistic composer husband, but before long strange things begin to happen. Her memory starts to deteriorate – she loses trinkets, forgets appointments, even finds that she has done tasks throughout the day and has no memory of them. This progresses to the point that Gregory will no longer let her leave the house without him, or go into any social situation, because he is afraid she'll have an "episode" in public.
Source: Uploaded by user via Tracey on Pinterest
And every night, when she is alone (Gregory works at night) she thinks she sees the gaslights flicker, accompanied by strange noises throughout the house. None of the servants notice the lights or the sounds. Paula is too afraid to tell Gregory about seeing the lights go dark every night, worried he will think she's finally snapped and put her in an asylum.
One day they are out and a young police detective, Mr. Cameron (Joseph Cotton) sees Paula and instantly recognizes her as aunt's niece. He has been obsessed with Paula's aunt's unsolved murder and decides to visit Paula and see if she can give him any new information. He discovers that Paula's aunt had some valuable jewels she collected from around the world, that no one ever knew the location of and may or may not have been stolen during the murder.
After visiting with Paula, Mr. Cameron becomes convinced that her aunt's murder is not a cold case, that the murderer is still out there, and that Paula herself may now be in danger. But can he convince Paula to help him – and convince her that she is capable of helping herself – before it is too late?
"Gaslight" is a movie I have loved since high school, and the movie that made me love Ingrid Bergman. She's more famous for "Casablanca," to be sure, and Casablanca is in many ways a superior movie. However, "Gaslight" is what won her the Best Actress Oscar, and rightfully so. Bergman's monologue at the film's dénouement knocks me out of my seat every time. Her skills go beyond those few minutes, though. In the span of just under two hours we see Paula go from a sweet, naïve young lady (18 or 19) to a psychologically-tortured woman beyond hope to a woman fighting for her life and her sanity, always on the edge of believable emotion but never going too far. It's a truly Oscar-worthy performance.
The rest of the cast is also great. Charles Boyer as Gregory, Paula's husband, is pitch-perfect in every scene, as always. Angela Lansbury, in one of her first films, plays their saucy maid and is adorable. Dame May Whitty is Paula's nosy neighbor who unwittingly helps Mr. Cameron put together all the puzzle pieces. And even Joseph Cotton, whom I'm normally not a fan of, does a great job keeping Mr. Cameron on task keeping him balanced between being objective about his investigation and genuinely concerned about the welfare of a woman married to another man.
"Gaslight" never disappoints, even after repeat viewings. It will be on TCM Friday, at 11:30 PM CST. So this would be a great late-night weekend choice or even better as a DVR setting. Don't miss it!

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. -- Over beers at a small pub here an hour north of Philadelphia, a handful of Tea Party activists were blunt when asked whether they thought Rick Santorum might lose the Pennsylvania presidential primary in less than three weeks.
"I don't think he's going to win his own state," said Ana Puig, a 40-year old mother of four who helps lead a prominent grassroots group.
If Puig is right, it's lights out for the former U.S. senator from this state, whether he keeps his campaign going or not into May. After Romney's wins in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C., Santorum's candidacy is hanging by a thread.
Puig, a state coordinator for FreedomWorks, a Washington, D.C.-based group, said Santorum was incapable of beating President Barack Obama in the fall.
"He pushes the social conservatism way too much. It is a blue state," she said of Pennsylvania. "What brings us together is fiscal responsibility and I don't think he's got the greatest fiscal record as far as when he was down in Washington, D.C."
Richard Tems, who owns a small manufacturing company in nearby Jamison and had just attended a monthly activist bull session on the second floor of Bobby Simone's bar with Puig and 20 others, agreed.
Tems said Santorum "still has a good base, he still has a lot of people." But his loss to Mitt Romney in Wisconsin on Tuesday night "might be enough for him to lose" in Pennsylvania, Tems said.
"You can only run an underground campaign for so long and I think he's reached that point," Tems said.
It's not clear whether Puig and Tems speak for the majority of the Pennsylvania's conservative grassroots. Jennifer Stefano, the state coordinator for Americans for Prosperity, another D.C.-based conservative group, said that "Santorum is very, very popular among our activist base."
Polling shows Santorum ahead of Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. But his lead has shrunk from double-digits in early March to about 7 percentage points in the Real Clear Politics average. And as the attention of the state and the country shifted here immediately after results from Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C., were announced Tuesday night, the expectation was that Romney's campaign and a super PAC supporting him will go for the kill.
"Rick has a clear lead across the state right now, but there's one thing that's going to change the dynamic in Pennsylvania, and that's tens of millions of dollars of advertising for Romney, which will no doubt close the race," said Ray Zaborney, a political consultant and lobbyist based in Harrisburg.
Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney super PAC, has already been running a small amount of TV advertising, and state Sen. Jake Corman, a Republican from central Pennsylvania who has endorsed Santorum, told HuffPost he has already received eight automated robocalls to his home from the Romney campaign.
"And we've still got three weeks until the election," said Corman.
Romney himself will travel to Philadelphia's western suburbs on Wednesday afternoon for a rally in Broomall, a sign that he intends to go for Santorum's jugular.
For the Romney high command in Boston, talk of a victory over Santorum here is the equivalent of dangling a 48-ounce porterhouse steak in front of a starved Doberman pinscher.
It would finish off a three-punch combination that started with Romney's win in Illinois on March 20 and continued Tuesday with the victory in Wisconsin, setting up the contest in the Keystone State on April 24.
Pennsylvania's primary will be held the same day as contests in four other states -- all likely to go into Romney's win column: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware.
Gail Gitcho, a spokeswoman for the Romney campaign, set expectations low when asked about Romney's chances of winning Pennsylvania.
"We will campaign there and hope to earn as many delegates as we can, but we expect Santorum to win his home state, just like Romney won Massachusetts and Newt [Gingrich] won Georgia," Gitcho said in an e-mail.
But Austin Barbour, a Mississippi lobbyist who is also a national finance chairman for Romney, began to put pressure on Santorum to think about the ramifications for his political and personal legacy if he were to lose a big race in Pennsylvania again, six years after losing his Senate seat by 18 percentage points to Bob Casey, a Democrat.
"There's no question he doesn't want to end this race with a loss in his home state. The guy has run a hard-fought campaign," Barbour said of Santorum in an interview.
Barbour didn't predict a win for Romney in the state, but sought to sow doubt about whether Santorum should continue if it looks, two weeks or so from now, like the candidate might lose on April 24.
"He's the favorite on paper and he's the favorite in polls, but it's not a slam-dunk," Barbour said.
There is good reason, however, for the Romney campaign to avoid feeding expectations of a knockout in Pennsylvania.
Santorum's political standing was greatly diminished by his embarrassing Senate defeat in 2006. But it's still not clear how much damage Santorum suffered among Republican voters.
"Republican primary voters have voted for Rick three different times," Zaborney said, referring to his Senate campaigns in 1994, 2000 and 2006. "These are the same voters who made up Rick's base in the 2006 race when he lost. All these voters just voted for him at his lowest political moment."
Corman, whose family has a longstanding and unique relationship with Santorum (Santorum worked for Corman's father in the state legislature and Corman's mother ran Santorum's grassroots operation for years) said the candidate is inoculated against political attacks in his home state.
"I don't think [Romney will] be able to drive the senator's negatives up where we've known him for 16 years," Corman said. "Everyone knows who Rick Santorum is. Even in the election that he lost, he did very well among Republicans."
But a good number of the Republican establishment in the state, which of course was with Santorum in that general election showdown with Casey six years ago, is with Romney now.
"There are many people like myself who have supported Rick Santorum every time he has run who feel sincerely that Rick Santorum is not in a position to be competitive in Pennsylvania [in the general election this fall], and we think that's clearly going to be a liability nationally as well," former Rep. Phil English, (R-Pa.) said in an interview.
English told HuffPost that Santorum is "in trouble among the delegates."
"Rick Santorum has to win a very large majority of those delegates to be viable, whatever happens with the beauty contest," English said. "The odds right now favor him splitting it 50-50 with Romney and very possibly coming in with fewer delegates than Romney."
"If that's the case, then I think it finishes him politically, or at least it should."
Most of the state's 72 delegates will be elected to the national convention on April 24 by voters themselves, which is unusual. Most states have conventions, where voters elect delegates to county conventions, who then vote at a later date to elect delegates to the state convention, and it's only at the state convention that delegates to the national convention are chosen.
In Pennsylvania, however, the delegates who get the most votes from each congressional district go straight to Tampa. They are not required to state which candidate they support and their allegiance is not indicated on the ballot. So it's crucial for presidential campaigns to have as many supporters running for delegate spots as possible.
Zaborney said that Santorum "doesn't have as many delegates filed" as Romney, but has many supporters who are public officials with names that are well known to most voters.
"A lot of the delegates who have filed are state senators and elected officials in some of the bigger counties and congressional districts, so I give them pretty good odds of winning," Zaborney said.
And not everyone in the state and local GOP machinery is enthused about Romney, said one source in the state legislature close to the Republican leadership, who asked not to be identified in order to speak more frankly about the views of senior political figures.
"I don't think there's love for Romney, listening to the leaders around the state," the statehouse insider said. Santorum "clearly offers a desirable but probably not an electable alternative. Everybody's watching him with interest and shock that he's doing so well."
Even if Santorum were to lose Pennsylvania, one veteran Republican operative said she thinks he will stay in the race because there are Southern state primaries that he may win in May.
"In May, Santorum is likely to win a number of states: Texas, West Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky," Juleanna Glover, a former White House official under President George W. Bush, said on MSNBC. "So I just don't see him getting out whether or not he wins or loses Pennsylvania."
In an e-mail, Glover defended her point, saying a loss in Pennsylvania would not erase Santorum's support among his core constituency.
"Southern evangelicals will never abandon Rick Santorum as long as he's in race. Pennsylvania is a foreign country to them. It won't matter," Globver said.
That diehard support is not enough to give Santorum a realistic shot at the nomination. But it is enough to drag the primary all the way to June 5, when California and New Jersey will award 172 delegates and 50 delegates, respectively, in contests sure to favor Romney.
That, ultimately, is likely to be the final blow to Santorum's upstart candidacy.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed Rep. English's remarks to Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-Pa).

Maxtor Corp. subsidiary MMC Technology on Monday plans to announce that it believes it can manufacture next-generation hard-disk platters using today's equipment, helping keep future storage costs down.
By 2005, MMC believes, the industry will have switched over to a new storage technique called "perpendicular recording", maintaining the steady increases in storage capacity the hard drive industry has come to expect.
Disk storage doesn't have a simple, overarching rule of thumb like Moore's Law, which governs the semiconductor industry. Instead, disk manufacturers have traditionally increased the number of megabits stored per square inch at about 25 percent per year in the 1990s, actually increasing that rate to 100 percent per year beginning about the year 2000.
That pace could stall, Maxtor executives warned, unless advances like perpendicular recording are implemented.
"But (areal density's) not doubling any more," said Ken Johnson, vice president of research and development for MMC Technology. "We're at 80 Gbytes per platter, and no one's announcing 160 (GB/platter)."
The most recent improvements have been in the way disk drives read and write data, as magento-resistive heads and "giant" MR heads have packed data tighter and tighter along the surface of the disk. In doing so, the magnetic "seeds" along the surface of the disk have also been pushed closer together, to the point that researchers worry that each seed's polarity will begin to affect those around it, corrupting the data.
About twenty years ago, a new method of recording proposed aligning the seeds and data vertically, or perpendicular to the plane of the disk. However, researchers struggled with factors such as the soft underlayer of the disk, designed to hold an image of the magnetic pole. Originally, MMC though that that a disk drive using perpendicular recording would require a soft underlayer of 400-nm or more, requiring new sputter equipment. However, further research has shown that a 200-nm layer may be feasible and "the design is working terrifically with a 100-nm" thickness," Johnson said.
The bottom line? "We're taking a little bit of a leap there, but we think that (perpendicular recording) will work on the exact same equipment used in manufacturing today," Johnson.

Career Counselor
Jason LeCompte, MAMFT, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
In 72712 - Nearby to Springdale.
Career counseling can be useful in many ways. As a young adult, discovering what you want to do with your life can be one of the most daunting tasks, but it can also be one of the most exciting - if you have the right tools. Once established, navigating work office politics or managing job-related stress can be very difficult to do on your own. And as you grow and develop, moving on to other careers is something the average person does SEVEN TIMES throughout their life, often without any real guidance or direction. These are perfect reasons for working with a career counselor like me.

EIFS (External Insulated Facade System), Solid Wall
Renders of various types represent a popular choice for the external finish to buildings. The render may have to be applied in several layers, usually on an insulation backing, with reinforcing coats and meshes incorporated in the build-up of the wall. Reinforcements may also be required at interfaces, such as around window openings, in order to control cracking of the render due to differential movements. The substrate to which the insulation/render is attached may be a solid masonry construction, or a framed wall (e.g. SFS) with sheathing/carrier boards attached to provide a level surface. Solid backing walls will generally have less movement and therefore the render is less prone to cracking, unless a cavity is incorporated behind the insulation, when greater movement can be expected. Similarly, with framed backing walls, movement may be greater and this must be taken into account during the design of the render system. Retention of the insulation may depend solely on adhesives or mechanical fixings may be used.
The refurbishment of existing buildings provides a popular use for EIFS, which can benefit the building not only aesthetically, but also by improving thermal insulation, reducing condensation on internal surfaces, and stabilising deteriorating surfaces.
illbruck can provide robust sealing methods that not only seal the areas in question but also allow the building to breathe, thus reducing the risk of rot and mould damage caused by interstitial condensation. There are many options available in terms of how to detail your windows into EIFS and we can help determine which is most suitable for your project.

New York Times: Constitution is "downright evil"
The New York Times called for doing away with the US constitution, calling it "downright evil."
The piece was written by Louis Micheal Seidman, an open Frankfurt School Marxist. Seidman is an advocate of Critical Legal Theory, which is part of the Frankfurt School Critical Theory. The goal of critical legal theory is to aid in the creation of a Marxist state by attacking traditional concepts of law. In this case, the US constitution. Demonizing the Constitution is one of the chief goals of Frankfurt School Marxists. Followers of critical legal theory believe that only when the existing framework of law is destroyed, can a future Marxist utopia be built.

The Bookworm's AwardPatti's Pen & Picks: The Bookworm's Award: "Patti O'Brien has just awarded me The Bookworm's Award. She adds, "Along with the award, there are a few rules. Open the closest book to you—not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment—to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence as well as the next two to five sentences."
Okay, I'm rushing madly through the exciting SMALL CRIMES by Dave Zeltserman. So here we are at page 56, where the protagonist is meeting up with his former wife after being in prison for some years.
(BIG CONGRATS TO DAVE FOR HAVING SMALL CRIMES CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE MYSTERIES OF 2008 by NPR).
...Seeing her, I just started kidding myself, and then once she started pushing my buttons, I guess I had to start pushing hers also. That was the thing with the two of us, we knew how to push each other's buttons.
I won't pass this meme on because I'm pretty sure I've done it before, but feel free to pick up the baton because it gets more book titles into the air. And Dave's was a great one to get to mention.

Why I hate node-gyp
Today I had to install a node module of mine in a sandboxed environment (i.e. isolated from the system directories) and due to node-gyp what usually is just a matter of time turned into a nightmare.
One liner http server
Since the day a friend of mine introduced me to nodejs, I now use it for all kind of daily stuff.
Today I had to troubleshoot connections behind a firewall. This easy node one-liner helped me do that:

Brewing Nodejs
Lately I ran into an issue while doing a 'brew upgrade' on my mac. Homebrew upgraded nodejs from 0.8.4 to 0.8.16.

In fact I was willing to do a 'update' of brew and ended up typing 'upgrade' ... !#?@

The story of Ghana's "pillow city", Juapong – a small town in the North Tongu District in the Volta region, offers us insight on the inter-relationship between formal industries and the ecosystem of informal businesses that spring up around them.
Juapong is said to be losing its identity as the pillow capital of Ghana.
A few years ago, a common feature on the main road leading to Juapong from the Adomi Bridge was the display of beautiful assorted pillows. Local women depended on waste cotton or materials from the textile factories to produce pillows and mattresses. Today, cheap imports from China have affected Ghana's textile production.
The Chief Executive of Margico Enterprise, Auntie Margaret Okyere, who sells pillows on wholesale, lamented that the pillow business has collapsed. Madam Okyere took over the trade from her mother in 1991 and had trained several women to make pillows.
She revealed that the business was one of the lucrative ventures in Ghana and recounted how in the glory days of the business, traders from Tema, Accra, Kumasi, Koforidua, Tamale and Togo travelled to Juapong to buy pillows in large quantities. That, she said, enabled them to make a lot of income to support their families.
Madam Okyere, who was making a few pillows to feed her shelf with the help of one of her workers, said fortunes in the trade had dropped because the raw materials were no longer available.
"Previously, if you came to this town, you would find pillows arranged beautifully all over and it created a lot of jobs for the youth. We even supplied some hospitals as well. I did not make less than GH¢300 profit a day," she said.
And its not just the women who make and trade in pillows feeling the effects, the young men who helped load and distribute the pillows are leaving town in droves to look for work. An entire ecosystem has felt the impact of that butterfly's wing out flapping on the other side of the world. Industries benefit far more people than just those employed at the factory directly.

Over the weekend we told you about Sony's plans to introduce a stock checker website, so that those who are looking to buy a PS4 over Christmas in the UK and US can do so with less hassle. Now though, we have some good news for those of you who bought a PS4 Launch Edition, only to find that it didn't work due to various reasons.
Some of these reasons involve the now infamous flashing blue or solid red light problems on the PS4. Initially many consumers thought that their PS4 was overheating when the different colored lights appeared on their system, but now it has been put down to a hardware issue after lights appeared just moments after switching on.
Fortunately, Sony feels your pain and are trying to rectify the situation as soon as possible. While general PS4 stock in UK is low at the moment, Sony has sent out word this week confirming that they have a contingency batch of PS4 stock specifically reserved as replacement consoles – for those that have had issues at launch.
It means that those ringing into Sony's customer service to arrange a replacement, should not have to wait longer than usual and certainly not as long as those who are waiting to buy a PS4 for the first time.
Great to see that Sony are dealing with the stock situation accordingly. Do you still have a broken PS4 Launch Edition? If so, get in touch with us below.

State extends contract with computer system vendor
Work with Deloitte Consulting to continue until spring 2019
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Raimondo administration has extended until next spring the state's contract with Deloitte Consulting, the company that designed and delivered the $492 million, trouble-plagued, eligibility-verification computer system — known as UHIP — for a wide array of public-assistance programs for the poor from food stamps to cash assistance to Medicaid.
In response to Journal inquiries, spokeswoman Ashley O'Shea confirmed that the state on Monday signed paperwork that extended the contract from June 30, when it is set to expire, until March 31, 2019.
Asked why the state chose to stick with the company at the center of the so-called UHIP debacle, O'Shea said: "We don't want to pay for work twice which would happen if we shifted to another vendor." She called the extension "an opportunity for Deloitte to bring the project to completion."
Added Health & Human Services Secretary Eric Beane, referring to UHIP by its alternate name within state government circles ("RI Bridges"): "The State continues to hold Deloitte accountable to fixing RI Bridges and is extending its contract with the vendor through March 2019.
"Deloitte, at its own expense, has committed to ensuring RI Bridge works and is the best technology it can be for Rhode Island,'' he said. Meanwhile, "Planning continues for a long term partner to run RI Bridges after March 2019."
While the extension was not unexpected, it comes a week after the General Assembly's Auditor General Dennis Hoyle released a report detailing the many problems the state has faced since launching the Deloitte-designed Unified Health Infrastructure Project, known as UHIP, in September 2016 to "streamline" eligibility verification for food stamps, Medicaid, subsidized child care and cash assistance.
Underpayments. Overpayments. Long lines at field offices. And application-processing backlogs for food stamps so high that at one point, the ACLU of Rhode Island sued, a court-appointed special master is overseeing the progress.
Last Thursday, representatives of Deloitte Consulting came to the State House to apologize.
"On behalf of Deloitte, we want to apologize to you and to the people of Rhode Island," said Deborah Sills, the national managing principal for the public-sector arm of Deloitte's business, told the House Oversight Committee.
"We are very sorry for the impact that our system issues have had on your constituents, on state workers and on service providers,'' she told the Oversight Committee. "While the technology is working much better than it was, we still have work to do. We know there are still some people having difficulty accessing benefits, processing cases or receiving timely payments.
"We will not let up until we have made things right,'' she said. By her estimate, Deloitte has been paid close to $240 million for its work on the two-phase project, credited some of that back and agreed not to bill the state close to $87 million overall.
O'Shea said about $37 million of that credit remains, but the administration's no-pay stance does not apply to the hardware, software or hosting services provided by other companies.
The contract amendment itself was not immediately available for public view, and the administration has not yet made public the letters seeking approval that it sent to the two federal agencies with oversight — and a huge financial stake — in the having Deloitte fix the broken computer system. But in response to Journal inquiries, the state made public the letters that arrived over the past two weeks.
One of the two federal agencies — the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services — effectively approved the contract extension, with the caveat that the state "not expend any further funds on Deloitte'' until it has "exhausted" the $37 million or more in credits the company gave the state, while it continues to fix the problems that remain.
In its March 30 letter, the CMS acknowledged "the state team's hard work,'' but it also said: "We continue to have significant concerns about the state's progress toward system completion/stabilization ... operation effectiveness and the precision of the described cost allocations."
The separate Food and Nutrition Service — which runs the food stamp program (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP) — said the proposed contract amendment "seeks to extend the agreement and to provide maintenance and operations services from Oct. 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019. This amendment includes fixed price and fixed capacity services, hourly services, hardware software, hosting and related items at a total cost of $49,601,432."
It is unclear who is paying for what.

I'm all about big stars in little rooms.
Some of the best concerts I've ever seen were shows where the act was much larger than the venue. Nothing can beat that feeling of intimacy that those situations provide.
Obviously, there's an added price for intimacy, and obviously too, there are super fans who will sell their kids to pay that price, but how much is too much? And more importantly, should any of us care, because the show that I think dropping serious cash on, is probably way different than your must-see, break-the-bank show.
For example, these upcoming Prince shows at the Ogden went on sale for $250 a piece. They're already on Craigslist for double that. (There are also some classy broads offering to be dates for dudes with tickets, should any of you want an STD with your concert experience.) Now, personally, I hear $250 for Prince and I scoff at the notion, but that's because The Purple One isn't worth it to me. But for others, the chance to see Prince in that close of a setting is a dream come true and they'll happily pay that price (and many will pay way more through scalpers) for that chance.
There are very, very few acts that I would even consider dropping more than $100 a ticket to see, and there's at least one act that I know of, where I'm probably the only person in the world who would drop serious cash to see them. Such is the reality of personal preferences.
So, I have no problem with outrageous prices for intimate shows. But what I do have a problem with are outrageous prices for intimate shows with nothing extra. We're in a society of value-added and I think when there are a couple zeros at the end of your ticket price there should also be some extra bonus too — regardless of how big the star and how small the room.
$250 for a show at the Ogden? That's fine. Who the hell am I to say what the market should bear? It might even be worth it, but you mean to tell me you can't throw in a special commemorative poster, or a t-shirt, a friggin' sticker pack? That's the part that I don't support, because that's the part that's fueled by greed. Prince should be paid well for his gig, and the promoter and production crew should also be well compensated. I contend there are ways to do that, which also show appreciation and respect for the fans who attend, and their wallets.
It's like when I saw Roger Waters perform The Wall. It wasn't an intimate show, but it was an expensive one with the better tickets going for $200 a pop, and on top of that they were hitting people with $45 t-shirt prices at the merch booth ("store" is probably more fitting than "booth," but you know what I mean). Think of a dad taking their kid to that. With tickets, parking, a t-shirt and a beverage or two, you're talking a $500 night.
Rock and roll shouldn't be that exclusive, at least not without a little something extra.
See you at the shows.

Prepare yourself for the ultimate physical challenge and the humbling grace that embraces your inner most self as you bask in the glow of Gangkhar Phuentsum Mountain. Gangkhar Phuentsum, in Bhutanese language means "the three mountain siblings". In Bhutan these holy and sacred peaks are considered the origin of much of the country's rich history and culture. They are also the source of three major Bhutanese rivers, the Kuru Chu, Chamkhar Chu and the Mangde Chu.
According to local folklore, when the three rivers made their very first run down from the glaciers of Gangkhar Phuentsum, they decided upon a race. The Chamkhar, however, declined saying he was in no hurry to get to the ocean but would rather take his time to enjoy the beautiful views inroute. This is said to be the reason why the Bumthang Valley has such a wide and calm expanse, while the Trongsa and Lhuntse valleys are steep and narrow.
Our trek takes us through magnificent valleys while following the course of the thunderous fast flowing icy glacial rivers. Steep ascents and descents are many as we make our journey into remote landscapes and yak herds along our way. Reaching Tholeas La pass at 15,000 feet we are elated! Bhutan's' High Himalayan mountains surround us and we enjoy peaceful serenity in their presence.

It's the morning after the night before.
The FENDI muse for the Fall/Winter 2017-18 Collection emerges at dawn: a cinematic character pacing the streets of Rome. Framing her free spirit, the graphic heritage of FENDI rises to the fore. Geometric patterns are inspired by Viennese woodblock printing and 18th century Italian papiers dominotés, which come to life in an array of mosaic techniques, from cut-out knitwear to marquetry furs and acanthus leaf-printed silk. Colours exude autumnal warmth: from carmine red like sealing wax to camel, cobalt and petrol blue, optic white or palest blush pink, they highlight the Collection's decorative, modern hand.
Codes of fine craftsmanship abound – a nipped waist is tucked with a giant 'X' appliqué, hemlines are framed in a bold topstitch and encrusted tulle stripes frame collars and cuffs. In felt cashmere, patent leather, Prince of Wales checks and herringbone wools, tailoring is cut with a double shoulder – from a structured plane it drops to create new volumes. That doubled effect evolves throughout as interlocking and overlapping sartorial textiles, FENDI 'double F' logo-trims and a layered exercise of cotton shirting and soft A-line skirts. It continues through transparency: sheer dresses are constructed in diamond ruched tulle whilst embroidered spirograph daisies and organza florals embellish long-sleeved gowns, both underpinned with the season's patent red cuissard boots inset with elastic ribbing.
The Fall/Winter 2017-18 runway show debuts the new Run Away double handle box bag in two tone nappa leather and inlaid python, while the Baguette, Peekaboo and Kan I bags appear in an opulent array of striped python, 'double F' logo print and patchwork velvet, striped mink and leather fringe. They are paired with interchangeable Strap You shoulder straps in shaggy fur, jewelled velvet and cut-out autumnal flowers.

Local news: an untold billion crystalline paratroopers cast their downy way down, whirling, twirling, tumbling to land — gently — on roofs and posts and caps and the occasional expectant, outthrust tongue. It's winter… it should by god snow.
Mind you, this is heavy, wet stuff; surely the prodigious sort that (we're told) Eskimos have a hundred words for.1 This is the stuff that sticks, that clumps and bunches on wet, black branches and gracefully-draped power lines alike, and on the occasion that the first leans a little too much on the second, then it's good to have a backup power supply. A genny.2
Meanwhile, it sure is pretty. And — fair warning — it makes for a right awesome snowball.

(PRWEB) March 24, 2013
Professional life coaching school Holistic Learning Center has launched a complimentary Spiritual Life Coaching Audio Course that can be used by anyone who is interested in expanding an already established life coaching practice, or by anyone interested in becoming a spiritual life coach. The information in this audio course gives a comprehensive overview of some of the most important lessons used by HLC's certified life coaches.
The audio course includes several excerpts from the book Self Mastery…. A Journey Home to Your Self written by Coach Hu Dalconzo. As the author of this book, Coach Hu Dalconzo invested over 25-years compiling research about the most magnanimous spiritual leaders, teachers, gurus and philosophers of the last 2500 years. He took the best of the best of these self-actualization teachers' overlapping parables, principles, processes and philosophies, and blended them together into sixteen easy to understand spiritual Self-mastery lessons to help students and clients accelerate their integration of these mastery principles.
The book Self-mastery… A Journey Home To Your Self has been an underground success for the same reason why the classic Think and Grow Rich has been a national best seller for decades. It contains success principles taken from hundreds of gurus and spiritual leaders. These proven mastery principles accelerate students' and clients' self-actualization process by helping them to quickly integrate these self-empowering exercises into their everyday life.
Tracks from the audio course will include Conscious Creation, Self-Parenting, Affirmations, Feelings, Boundaries, Relationships, Self-Esteem, and Forgiveness.

Today I surfed on the internet to get some tips on how to write a cover letter, when I came across an article by the German journalist Harald Martenstein (Martenstein, 2009). It described the time when he was responsible for recruiting trainees. He mentioned a particular applicant; who had studied at Oxford and Harvard, had 2 PhDs, had completed work placements at the New York Times and Le Monde, spoke 5 languages fluently and was the runner-up at the National level in a sport that was not specified. (Obviously it is to protect the identity of the applicant.) Anyway both the recruiters in charge decided against him because he was obviously very qualified and would be able to find a job anywhere. (huh?) Just not at their paper. The reason he gave was that someone like this applicant was obviously very ambitious and would either become the Chief Editor within 10 years or if not infect the others with his sulky mood. In addition, reading that CV made H. Martenstein feel average, lazy, overpaid and lacking ambition. Apparently other recruiters must have thought the same of the applicant because he applied again for the same position a year later.
Unbelievable! Here I was thinking that a perfect CV is what recruiters were looking for. But it seems that an impeccable vita can be read as belonging to a person who is extremely driven in the negative sense. Therefore such applicants are deemed as having difficult characters and being potential mood killers. I wonder if this is a common perception among recruiters? Maybe I should count myself lucky that I do not have any outstanding sporting accomplishments to mention in my CV.

Porto have confirmed, through the Portuguese stock exchange, that they have struck an agreement with Atlético for Colombian striker Radamel Falcao García and Portuguese midfielder Rubén Micael.
The forward will reportedly join los Rojiblancos for a fee of €40 million plus €7 million more if incentives are met, smashing Atleti's transfer record.
The 25-year-old will sign a five-year contract with los Colchoneros.
The deal for Falcao is the big, marquee signing many Atlético fans have been waiting for all summer long, ever since it was confirmed Sergio Agüero would not be coming back for another season.
Fans at the Vicente Calderón watching Atleti take on Vitória in Europa League action were surprised with the announcement at half time on the stadium monitors.
The Colombia international comes to the Vicente Calderón on the back of a hugely successful Europa League title-winning and record-breaking campaign with his former club.
Falcao scored 17 goals in the UEFA competition, surpassing Jürgen Klinsmann's record of 15, including the match-winning strike in Porto's 1-0 victory over Braga in the tournament's final.
The front man bagged 39 goals in all competitions in 2010/11.
After Porto's match against Vitória this past Sunday, Falcao reportedly said "Atlético is a great opportunity for my career", hinting at Thursday's official announcement.
Also signed, likely as a condition to release Falcao, was Portuguese midfielder Rubén Micael, for an additional fee of €5 million.
Known as simply Micael, the player will be loaned out to Real Zaragoza for one season, according to Telemadrid.

New Jonas Brothers Song About Miley Cyrus
If you can remember back to the Disney days of 2007, you will recall that all gossip swirled around the current status of Niley- the relationship between then-14-year-olds Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus. The two budding superstars reportedly dated for two years, and there has been little said about the relationship in many years. Now, Cyrus has announced her engagement to Aussie Liam Hemsworth, and Jonas is finally giving his say.
In a concert at Radio City Music Hall on October 11, Nick gave a speech before performing the new Jonas Brothers song "Wedding Bells." He set it up as a song about his reaction at a moment in time, saying:
Sometimes we have to dive into subjects that make us uncomfertable and write about it. [Sometimes] you have to write a song and appologize for it later. I don't know if I've ever written a song that makes me feel as uncomfertable as this song does. Things happened in this past year that have effected me in certain ways that I had to go and write a song about it in that moment. It's an incredible thing and should be valued when you appretiate someone and there's that history.
Miley Cyrus recently went on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Thursday (October 18), where she reacted to the youngest Jonas penning a song about her for the new Jonas Brothers album. She said she believed it was about her because she doesn't "know who else is getting married…that's pretty blatant."
So is she upset with Nick? It does not appear so. She said, "Everyone has to write songs that are about things that they felt… so you can't ever hate on someone for writing about something you've been through. I think that you kind of get a fair warning when you date an artist and someone that's a writer. When you're going through things, you're going to end up hearing about it on the radio."
A part of the chorus is "I don't wanna love if it's not you I don't wanna hear the wedding bells bloom. Maybe we can try one last time, but I don't wanna hear the wedding bells chime."
