With experience and depth in the frontcourt, Florida is considering redshirting freshman forward Cody Larson, coach Billy Donovan said Monday.
The No. 9 Gators returned five starters this season, including forward Alex Tyus and center Vernon Macklin. Behind those seniors are sophomore Erik Murphy and freshmen Patric Young and Will Yeguete.
Donovan said he would leave the choice up to Larson, but for now he's not playing the South Dakota native to leave that option open.
"I think anytime you redshirt somebody, if it works out that way, what you're saying to him is that you're going to be a very, very good player in this program and we're willing to invest another year in you," Donovan said. "And I think he's going to be terrific. I think he's on a team with some depth and some numbers and some experience ahead of him right now."
Larson, rated a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and a three-star recruit by Scout.com, averaged 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks as a senior at Roosevelt High.

Pharmaceuticals and life sciences survey summary
To gauge readiness and reaction to the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals legislation, or REACH, PwC's International Survey Unit interviewed 241 senior executives across 6 industries in 29 countries. Overall, we found that two in five companies have limited awareness of the regulation and one in four executives believes Europe's complex chemicals legislation will have no impact on operations. In comparison, pharmaceuticals companies had a higher level of awareness of REACH than did other industries surveyed, though companies in North America were generally less well informed about the legislation than in Europe and Asia Pacific.

Buckeyes end season with perfect mark
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Carlos Hyde ran for 146 yards and No. 4 Ohio State's defense shut out 20th-ranked Michigan in the second half to grab a bruising 26-21 victory on Saturday, completing an improbable 12-0 season for the Buckeyes.
It was a sweet win for the Buckeyes, just 6-7 last season with a loss to their archrivals in a transitional year in which they were facing heavy NCAA penalties. After Urban Meyer took the job as head coach a year ago, they were socked with a bowl ban after this season — and still ran the table.
Ohio State (12-0, 8-0 Big Ten) is ineligible for a BCS national title but still has an outside shot at finishing No. 1 in the final Associated Press Top 25 if other contenders lose. Michigan (8-4, 6-2) will now await a minor bowl bid.
Drew Basil matched his season output with four field goals and the defense did the rest, forcing three turnovers in the second half.
It was played before 105,899, the largest crowd ever to witness "The Game" in Columbus.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — AJ McCarron passed for four touchdowns and Eddie Lacy rushed for 131 yards and two scores to lead the Crimson Tide to a beatdown of rival Auburn in the most lopsided Iron Bowl in 64 years.
The Crimson Tide (10-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) clinched the Western Division title outright and a spot in the conference title game against No. 3 Georgia with the winner likely getting a national championship shot.
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Aaron Murray threw two touchdown passes, Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall each ran for a pair of TDs, and No. 3 Georgia stayed right in the thick of the national championship race.
The Bulldogs (11-1) extended the domination of the Yellow Jackets, beating their state rival for the 11th time in 12 meetings.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Kenjon Barner ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns despite leaving the game for a time with an injury, and Oregon defeated Oregon State in the Civil War on Saturday — keeping alive the Ducks' hopes for a spot in the Pac-12 title game and even an outside chance at the national championship.
#19 LOUISVILLE….20, 3 OTs
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Chad Christen's 30-yard field goal in the third overtime gave Connecticut an upset of Louisville.
Blidi Wreh-Wilson set up the Huskies' winning score by intercepting Teddy Bridgewater's pass intended for DeVante Parker in the end zone.FRIDAY
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Jarvis Landry made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch and No. 8 LSU kept its BCS hopes alive.
Zach Mettenberger passed for 217 yards and hooked up with Landry for the play of the day with 1:12 left in the first half to put LSU up 10-0 on a 22-yard TD pass. The Tigers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) reached double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight seasons under coach Les Miles.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Rex Burkhead scored the go-ahead touchdown in his return from a knee injury and Nebraska secured a spot in the Big Ten title game.
Alonzo Whaley's interception with 2:11 left sealed the victory. The Huskers (10-2, 7-1 Big Ten) will face off against Wisconsin next Saturday in Indianapolis.
KENT, Ohio (AP) — C.J. Malauulu returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown — 12 seconds after another Kent State TD — and the Golden Flashes completed a perfect season in the Mid-American Conference with their 10th straight win.
The regular-season finale was a tuneup for Kent State (11-1, 8-0 MAC), which will meet No. 24 Northern Illinois in next week's MAC championship.
YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Jordan Lynch ran for 107 yards and Akeem Daniels scored a career-best four touchdowns as the Huskies won their 11th straight game.

Tobacco industry
|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (September 2010)
|Part of a series on
|Personal and Social impact
The tobacco industry comprises those persons and companies engaged in the growth, preparation for sale, shipment, advertisement, and distribution of tobacco and tobacco-related products. It is a global industry; tobacco can grow in any warm, moist environment, which means it can be farmed on all continents except Antarctica.
Tobacco, one of the most widely used addictive substances in the world, is a plant native to the Americas and historically one of the half-dozen most important crops grown by American farmers.[citation needed] More specifically, tobacco refers to any of various plants of the genus Nicotiana, (especially N. tabacum) native to tropical America and widely cultivated for their leaves, which are dried and processed chiefly for smoking in pipes, cigarettes, and cigars; it is also cut to form chewing tobacco or ground to make snuff or dipping tobacco, as well as other less common preparations. From 1617 to 1793 tobacco was the most valuable staple export from the English American mainland colonies and the United States.[citation needed] Until the 1960s, the United States not only grew but also manufactured and exported more tobacco than any other country.[citation needed]
Since 1964 conclusive epidemiological evidence of the deadly effects of tobacco consumption has led to a sharp decline in official support for producers and manufacturers of tobacco, although it contributes to the agricultural, fiscal, manufacturing, and exporting sectors of the economy. Tobacco is an agricultural commodity product, similar in economic terms to agricultural foodstuffs: the price is in part determined by crop yields, which vary depending on local weather conditions. The price also varies by specific species or cultivar grown, the total quantity on the market ready for sale, the area where it was grown, the health of the plants, and other characteristics individual to product quality. Laws around the world now often have some restrictions on smoking, but 5.5 trillion cigarettes are still smoked each year.[citation needed] Tobacco is often heavily taxed to gain revenues for governments and as an incentive for people not to smoke.
For a history of how tobacco has been grown and marketed, see tobacco, smoking and articles on similar topics.
Current position[edit]
The tobacco industry generally refers to the companies involved in the manufacture of cigarettes, cigars, snuff, chewing and pipe tobacco. The largest tobacco company in the world by volume is China National Tobacco Co.. Following extensive merger and acquisition activity in the 1990s and 2000s, international markets are dominated by five firms, in alphabetical order: Altria, British American Tobacco (represented in the U.S. market by a 42% stake in Reynolds American, Inc.), Imperial Tobacco, Japan Tobacco, and Philip Morris International. Altria was formerly called the Philip Morris Cos, and it still owns the Philip Morris tobacco business in the United States, but Philip Morris International has been fully independent since 2008. In most countries these companies either have long established dominance, or have purchased the major domestic producer or producers, often a former state monopoly. The United States has one other substantial independent firm, Lorillard. India has its own major player, ITC Limited(25.4% owned by British American Tobacco). There are a small number of surviving state monopolies, and some small independent firms.
Tobacco advertising is becoming increasingly restricted around the world.
Industry outlook in the United States[edit]
The tobacco industry in the United States has suffered greatly since the mid-1990s, when it was successfully sued by several U.S. states. The suits claimed that tobacco causes cancer, that companies in the industry knew this, and that they deliberately understated the significance of their findings, contributing to the illness and death of many citizens in those states.
The industry was found to have decades of internal memos confirming in detail that tobacco (which contains nicotine) is both addictive and carcinogenic (cancer-causing).
The suit resulted in a large cash settlement being paid by a group of tobacco companies to the states that sued. Further, since the suit was settled, other individuals have come forth, in class action lawsuits, claiming individual damages. New suits of this nature will probably continue for a long time.[citation needed]
Since the settlement is a heavy tax on the profits of the tobacco industry in the US, regressive against smokers, and further settlements being made only add to the financial burden of these companies, it is debatable if the industry has a money-producing long term outlook.[citation needed]
The tobacco industry has historically been largely successful in this litigation process, with the majority of cases being won by the industry. During the first 42 years of tobacco litigation (between 1954 and 1996) the industry maintained a clean record in litigation[1] thanks to tactics described in a R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company internal memo as "the way we won these cases, to paraphrase Gen. Patton, is not by spending all of Reynolds' money, but by making the other son of a bitch spend all of his."[2] Between 1995 and 2005 only 59% of cases were won by the tobacco industry either outright or on appeal in the US,[3] but the continued success of the industry's efforts to win these cases is questionable. In Florida, the industry has lost 41 of the 61 "Engle progeny" cases that have gone to trial.[4]
In June 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act which has been called a "sweeping anti-smoking" bill.[5] Amongst other restrictions, this Act banned the use of any constituent, additive, herb or spice that adds a "characterizing flavor" to the tobacco product or smoke (Section 907)(a)(1)(A).[6] The aim of this ban is to prevent children and teenagers from becoming addicted to cigarettes at a young age with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services citing that "studies have shown that 17 year old smokers are three times as likely to use flavored cigarettes as are smokers over the age of 25".[7] This ban however does not apply to menthol cigarettes, which are exempt from the bill.
Lawsuits against the tobacco industry are primarily restricted to the United States due to differences in legal systems in other countries. Many businesses class ongoing lawsuits as a cost of doing business in the US and feel their revenue will be only marginally affected by the activities.[8]
Conflicting points of view[edit]
There are two entrenched interests that have opinions about the tobacco industry: (a) participants in the industry, and (b) people affected by the deaths attributable to tobacco use. These interests conflict as they involve large amounts of money, long-held (historically) belief systems, and the premature deaths of loved family members.
Participants in the industry argue that commercial tobacco production is a vital part of the American and world economy. They state that thousands of farmers in the United States, alone, make their living from raising tobacco leaves for use by the industry. They cite the fact that the tobacco industry contributes billions of dollars in tax revenue to the state and federal government every year.[9]
Tobacco control[edit]
On May 11, 2004, the U.S. became the 108th country to sign the World Health Organization's Global Treaty on Tobacco Control. This treaty places broad restrictions on the sale, advertising, shipment, and taxation of tobacco products. The U.S. has not yet ratified this treaty in its senate and does not yet have a schedule for doing so.
Most recently, there has been discussion within the tobacco control community of transforming the tobacco industry through the replacement of tobacco corporations by other types of business organizations that can be established to provide tobacco to the market while not attempting to increase market demand.[10]
On February 20, 2007, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Altria Group (formerly Philip Morris) did not have to pay $79.5 million in punitive damages awarded to Mayola Williams in a 1999 Oregon court ruling, when she sued Phillip Morris for responsibility in the cancer death of her husband, Jesse Williams.[11] The Supreme Court's decision overturns a ruling made by the Oregon Supreme Court that upheld the award.[12]
On April 3, 2008, The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit threw out a $800 billion class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of a group or class of people who smoked light cigarettes. The plaintiffs' lawyers were confident that they would be able to win this suit due to the success of the Schwab case [13] wherein tobacco companies were found guilty of fraud-like charges because they were selling the idea that light cigarettes were safer than regular cigarettes. The ruling by the three-judge panel will not allow the suit to be pursued as a class, but instead need proof for why individual smokers chose light cigarettes over regular cigarettes.[14]
Working to change smokeless tobacco control[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2007)
As of 2007, British American Tobacco, Reynolds American, Imperial Tobacco and Philip Morris are lobbying the European Union to lift a ban on smokeless alternatives to cigarettes. This was imposed in Britain in 1990 after the US Smokeless Tobacco company attempted to bring pouches of snuff (i.e. ground tobacco) for oral use, called Skoal Bandits, to market. The move to lift the ban is supported by antismoking groups and the Royal College of Physicians,[15] as the oral snuff which the industry is attempting to introduce only verifiably increases the user's risk of pancreatic cancer, but not of oral or lung cancer.[citation needed] Indications of an increase in oral cancer are present in some studies, but have only very rarely been statistically significant.
Different types of smokeless tobacco carry different risk profiles. All have negative health effects, but appear to be safer than cigarettes.[citation needed] There is some concern that smokeless tobacco will be used as a "gateway" product to make marketing of cigarettes more effective. One example cited by opponents of this theory is snus. Sweden has the lowest level of tobacco related illness in Europe,[citation needed] is the only country which has reduced its smoking below the WHO's target level,[citation needed] and is the only EU country in which snus is legal. Studies in Sweden indicate that people tend to switch from smoking to snus, rather than the other way around.[citation needed])
Production by country or region[edit]
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the following production of unprocessed tobacco by country/region in 2000. (Figures are in thousands of tonnes.)[citation needed]
|Country or region
|Production in thousands of tons
|United States
|European Union
Tobacco industry in popular culture[edit]
The tobacco industry has had a long relationship with the entertainment industry. In silent era movies, back-lit smoke was often used by filmmakers to create sense of mystery and sensuality in a scene. Later, cigarettes were deliberately placed in the hands of Hollywood stars as an early phase of product placement,[16] until health regulating bodies tightened rules on tobacco advertisement and anti-smoking groups pressured actors and studio executives against such tactics. Big Tobacco has since been the subject focus of films such as the docudrama The Insider (1999) and Thank You For Smoking (2005).

Multiple attempts to transfer money from the accounts began on April 19, the commission learned, according to a written statement created by county employees. After normal payroll had already been run, a batch of checks totaling $135,458 and another batch totaling $2.8 million was sent to the bank for payment — for withdrawal — using an employee's login and password. The batches appeared to have originated from the employee's internet protocol address on the county's network, according to the statement. In addition there were attempts to send at least six wire transfers, the statement said.
Metro Bank contacted the county for confirmation and the fraudulent checks and wire transfers were stopped.
After the county's network was again declared safe, the employee's login, password and address were changed. Another attempt to hack the accounts was made on April 25 and then again on April 29, according to the statement.
Swafford said this is the first time the county's account has been hacked but it hasn't happened since the April attacks.
The county notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Alabama Department of Homeland Security which are now investigating, Swafford said. All of the county records of the incidents have been released to the department in the last two weeks, he added.
"They're making a case against one of the folks who owned the account that some of the money was being transferred to," Swafford said.
But to keep it from happening again, Save Your Data, which is the county's technology consultant, and the bank worked together to improve the county's network security, Swafford said.
"The majority of the work was done by our IT consultant and Metro Bank," Swafford said. "They were superb."
Save Your Data installed hardware-driven security, he said. Swafford declined to talk about what other security measures have been put in place.
"None of those (attempts) were successful and we've even put additional stopgap measures in place to ensure that that is even less likely to take place," he said.
In other business the commission:
— Approved spending less than $500 for a new battery and electrode pads for an automatic external defibrillator at the Fruithurst Senior Center.
— Declared Thanksgiving week as National Farm City Week in Cleburne County.
— Declared Nov. 19 as Retired Teachers' Day in Cleburne County.
— Approved a request by Stephen and Wendy Brooks to locate a family cemetery at 119 County Road 432.
— Heard from Grady Parsons of Living Water Services that he would need an estimate of how much money the county would charge annually for the oversight of an on-site waste treatment center at the Alabama Welcome Center in Cleburne County. He also asked for an estimate of attorney fees to review the contracts. Living Water Services would maintain and operate the treatment center for the Alabama Department of Transportation. But the county would have to have a government utility corporation with its own board to oversee the center, Parsons said. The commission approved creating the corporation at its March meeting.

By Erika Fry, reporter
Fortune -- Imagine that you step off a 15-hour international flight with plans to zip right through immigration thanks to your membership in the government-run Global Entry program -- only to find that the scanner can't read your fingerprints.
In that scenario, the conventional wisdom at FlyerTalk, an online forum for frequent travellers, is to press your finger on an oily patch of skin (yours or someone else's) and try again. That may sound like a crude way to get to a piece of expensive, widely used government technology to work in 2013, but take comfort: A new generation of scanners may be landing in your airports soon.
Cross Match Technologies, the Florida-based manufacturer of the scanning equipment used by the Global Entry program, has recently begun production of a more user-friendly machine designed to better deal with the challenges posed by the finicky human fingerprint. (Cross Match also supplies scanners to the Office of Biometrics Information Management, which uses 3,000 of its machines at entry and exit ports to collect fingerprints.)
A spokesperson for Global Entry would not provide specifics about the program's plans to implement the new scanners, saying only that the U.S. Department of Customs and Border Protection, which runs Global Entry, is "always evaluating the condition and service life of the equipment in the field" and that it will "replace current models with updated models as older units begin to fade."
Global Entry is a trusted traveler program that allows its 1.5 million globetrotting members to pass straight through immigration without the line or long wait at an unmanned kiosk. Enrolled travellers simply scan their passport, scan their fingerprints, and fly on by.
MORE: Google takes aim at Spotify and Pandora
The program, which launched in 2008, has received widespread, ecstatic acclaim -- tweets like "Global Entry is the best money ever spent" are not uncommon, nor is wonder that federal government has created something that works so well. John Wagner, the program's director, says he often hears: "I can't believe the government is running this program!"
That strong word of mouth is driving new growth: Applications to Global Entry averaged about 15,000 per month prior to 2012 but are now averaging around 50,000 per month. The program is also catching on as a perk -- American Express (AXP), for example, covers the $100 fee for its Platinum and Centurion card customers. Wagner expects Global Entry will one day extend to 15 to 20% of all travelers.
Yet for all the enthusiasm, the program has been dogged by complaints from a vocal if tiny minority of members who have had trouble getting the scanners to read their prints. When this happens, the kiosk prints out an X. That printout allows the individual to cut any normal immigration line (or in some cases go to a special Global Entry problem line). But he or she must still be cleared by an agent like everyone else, rather than cruising straight through immigration altogether.
Marcia Dohrn, a VP at a trucking company in Rock Island, Ill. who has been enrolled in Global Entry for the past six months, nearly missed her connecting flight to Costa Rica when she got stuck in an immigration line -- she cut the line, but it didn't move -- after her prints wouldn't scan. Though she generally likes the program, the moment gave her pause: "I paid $100 for this?"
The issue has been a topic of discussion at travel sites like TripAdvisor and FlyerTalk and fodder for New York Times business travel columnist Joe Sharkey, whose otherwise glowing review of Global Entry included an anecdote of failing the fingerprint scan until he wet his fingers on the sweaty forehead of the customs agent. (Closer to home, Fortune editor Andy Serwer also had problems getting the scanner to register his fingerprints when applying to the Global Entry program.)
What's going on?
Experts estimate that 1 to 4% of the population have fingerprints that are too faint to be read by machines. There are certain groups that are more likely to have trouble: those who have worked with chemicals or done years of manual labor, or people who have dry skin or dermatitis.
That makes the airport, where passengers debark from hours of international jet travel -- seated in a cabin where air humidity is as low as 5% -- an especially challenging environment for reading fingerprints. (Hence the utility of the sweaty forehead.)
Yet it's not always faint fingerprints that are the problem. The machines must be pressed just so, with fingers laid flat in the correct position and applying a particular amount of pressure. Issues also arise when the scanners are not cleaned -- a procedure that is done daily by laying a piece of sticky tape on the scanning plate, according to Wagner. At kiosks, individuals get two chances to get it right before they get an X and are sent to the immigration officer.
These failures do not pose security risks, just extra work for customs agents and inconvenience for faint-fingered or dehydrated Global Entry members. Stephanie Malin, a public affairs officer with the program says their machines have a 3% fail rate. And Joy Smith, Director at the International Biometric Group, says her organization's tests of government machines have shown a 1 to 5% fail rate –- making them as good or better as anything in the market.

Cross Match's new machines, which are currently being demoed by a number of customers, take aim at these issues and should improve performance. The new scanners provide guidance to kiosk users like "press harder" and are designed to capture images of either wet or dry fingers. The scanning plate also is kept at a warm temperature to soften the skin and make it more amenable to reading. (The Cross Match machines currently being used also have silicone pads that are supposed to help with dry fingers.)
Anil Jain, a professor of computer science at Michigan State University who works with the Biometric Research Group, says some degree of error comes with the territory in identity scanning. "It's sort of a nuisance, but when it comes to biometrics, every sensing device has an issue," he says. Iris recognition can be complicated by droopy eyelids, and facial recognition by bad lighting and aging. Multi-spectral fingerprinting -- which reads vein patterns and is used by Disney World -- does not integrate with the massive U.S. database of digitized fingerprints.
Wagner, the Global Entry Director, acknowledges the possibility that iris and facial recognition technology might ultimately offer better performance. The government has started to look at them for a backup to fingerprints, but he says it will be a while before a new system is adopted and integrated into the system.
Until then, travelers with faint fingerprints will have to keep using their sweaty foreheads, or hope the new machines arrive soon.

Manager Tony Pena was named an American League coach Wednesday by New York Yankees manager Joe Torre.
Also selected as a coach was Toronto Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca, a former manager in the Royals' minor league system.
"It's nice. Any time you get chosen to go to the All-Star Game, it's an honor," Pena said.
"When Joe asked me about it, I told him it's an honor to participate. I did it as a player five times, and, as a manager, for somebody to pick me out is big for me."
Pena made the National League All-Star team as a Pittsburgh Pirates catcher in 1982-84, '85 and '86, and with the St. Louis Cardinals in '89.
What Royals players did Pena think might accompany him to Houston?
"I don't have any control over that," he said. "I'll leave it to them to pick the players. If they ask me, I'll give my input."
The Royals' top candidates are center fielder Carlos Beltran, currently seventh in the outfield voting, and first basemen-designated hitters Ken Harvey and Mike Sweeney. Harvey is among the AL leaders in hitting and Sweeney has been named to the last four All-Star Games.
Last season, Pena was voted AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, after leading the Royals to a turnaround season.
He is the ninth Royals manager to serve as an All-Star coach.
Dick Howser was a coach in 1982 and 1985 and was the AL manager in 1986 after the Royals won the World Series.
Others who were AL coaches: Bob Lemon, 1972; Jack McKeon, 1974; Whitey Herzog, 1978; Jim Frey, 1981; Hal McRae, 1992; Bob Boone, 1996, and Tony Muser, 2001.
Pena was moved by Torre's invitation.
"It touched me," Pena said. "I'm happy."

ROCKVILLE, Md. and BALTIMORE, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BioHealth Innovation, Inc. (BHI) and China Fortune Land Development Co., Ltd. (CFLD) announced today that they have signed an agreement to jointly manage a newly created Entrepreneur-In-Residence (EIR) position to be located at the BHI headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. This first-of-its-kind position will lead in the scouting of technologies and partnership opportunities in life science hubs in the U.S. and China.
"We're very pleased to advance our partnership with BHI," said Mr. Hu Zhen Yu, Vice President for CFLD, a company specializing in investment and operation of industrial areas in China, including science parks. "Our organizations first had a chance to connect in person when BHI's CEO Rich Bendis traveled with a delegation from Montgomery County, Maryland, to China. Now, we look forward to filling this new EIR position, which will help to identify talented businesses and commercial prospects for our collaborative efforts."
The new EIR will evaluate life science technologies in both China and the U.S. markets; provide a strategic plan for start-up companies; advise on opportunities for new ventures; and lead the commercial strategy for mature assets. This would be BHI's 5th EIR since the program's inception two years ago.
"This effort between BHI and CFLD is an important step in Montgomery County's global partnerships supporting the growth of local biotechnology and health sciences in Montgomery County," said Ike Leggett, County Executive of Montgomery County, Maryland, who led a delegation of business, government and education leaders that visited China in 2013. "We are grateful to our Chinese community in Montgomery County for making the connections with strategic partners in China, and welcome the opportunity to better connect our rich life sciences resources with the largest health market in the world through strategic partnerships with more Chinese corporations."
In the fall of 2013, Mr. Leggett led a four-city mission trip to China for leaders from Montgomery County and the DC metropolitan area. The goal of the trip was to promote Montgomery County as a premier location for Chinese investors and businesses, and to open doors for Montgomery Country-based businesses in China.
"On the heels of participating in a successful trip to China, I'm pleased to have BHI work in partnership with CFLD to develop this new addition to our expanding EIR program," said Rich Bendis, President & CEO of BHI. "Together, our ability to recognize high potential business opportunities will be beneficial for both Central Maryland and China."
BHI and CFLD are currently accepting resumes from those interested in applying for this new EIR position. Fluency in Mandarin is a requirement. Learn more at on the BHI website.

Austin >Food & Dining > Osaka Mansun
13492 N Hwy 183 Ste 160, Austin, TX | Directions 7875030.449041 -97.792028
Great, fresh sushi & tasty Korean food at a reasonable price. Beef sashimi appetizer is outstanding. Sit at the bar for a fun experience. The fish is always fresh and the staff friendly
No MSG in my Bulgogi!!!!! – I love this place!! Not so crazy about the bento box (I'm not a fan of tempura). The sushi is always fresh tasting and prepared creatively. The Korean food is awesome and according to the staff they don't use MSG,
sweet fresh sushi - fish melts in your mouth – The restaurant is basic but pleasently decorated with a rustic / japanese touch. Their sushi is excellent and well worthed the prices of more fashionable restaurants in town. Fish is ultra fresh and melts in your mouth. Service is consistently good and rates are reasonable. Drawback is its location (way upnorth) in an uninspiring stripmall. If you are after delicious food and not a hip scene this is definitely your place.
Good Sushi - Good Price – Excellent sushi @ great price....most of the rolls I've tried are great. I've never had a bad experience. Love the salad dressing too (if you don't love ginger - don't get it!) Overall a great place and to go orders are good also.
Great sushi! – If you are looking for a posh or romantic place - search for something else, but if you want to get really tasty sushi - "Osaka" is the place. The selection is great, sushi are very good, and prices are very reasonable. Note - a sushi roll includes 8 pieces.
I will definitely go there again.
Best Sushi in Texas – We have traveled throughout the country searching out the best sushi and have found it at Osaka Mansun in Austin, TX. The chefs here are not about flash, but are primarily focused on the food. They turn out consistently delicious and creative dishes. We have tried Sushi in numerous countries and throughout the United States and believe this to be our favorite Sushi restaurant.
We don't think that Mikado compares to Osaka. Mushashino is too crowded and inconsistent for our taste. We like Osaka better than Uchi.
We have avoided ranking Osaka before because we had wanted to keep it our secret.
Great sushi at a great price – Yeah, you can probably find sushi that's nominally better at Mikado, Uchi, or Mushashino.... but for the price this place rules. The fish pieces on the nigiri are nice and large, always fresh and delicious. Service is usually very good too. I'll be back again and again.
poor sushi – they are cheap but that's it.
poor service, waited long time, smelly dead fish... it was like...
Editorial Review – Japanese restaurant on the north side of town featuring sushi and other seafood delicacies.
One of Austin's best Sushi places! – Evidently sushi in Austin is a recent phenom judging by the quality and prices at some locations but not here, the new owners (whom call it the Osaka Mansun) whom I got to know personally after my 7th visit to this establishment treat every customer as a family member (I am now passed my 17th visit). Service at the table or sushi bar is excellent! My tea glass is never empty (even after this many visits). Any time you visit and sit at the sushi bar, they are more than glad to give a free sample of something you might like to try. They only do this after discussing with you your tastes and current experience. I took my Mom there for a late Mother's Day dinner (since she does not live here) whom has very little experience with Sushi at all. I explained this ahead of time and it was suggested to get the Bento Box which has Salmon and Tuna Sushi. My mother not only loved it (evidently unaware that Sushi is not supposed to smell) but even tried a piece of Mackerel. Suffice to say, my mother now has some sort of clue about what good Sushi is. She cannot wait to come back to Austin to eat. I can personally recommmend to start with the 12 piece Tazuna Sushi for US $11.95 and the Aji (this is sashimi and a little pricey due to availability but well worth it!). It was good before the new owners but the new owners have brought it up a notch. This restaurant caters to the Sushi novice as well as the Sushi expert. The service is excellent and if you do have a problem with service, let them know and the problem is resolved. The only con is that they are closed on Sunday. Let me make a point in saying I am not normally so giving in reviews and am very picky where my hard-earned money is going.
Excellent All-Around Sushi Experience – Osaka is my standard by which I judge all other sushi spots. I have had a few that are better, but Osaka is so consistently fantastic that I keep going back for more. The staff there are incredibly friendly and the fish is always fresh.
Osaka has a full selection of sushi and some unique rolls. Try the Pink Lady (my favorite). It has shrimp tempura, cucumber and spicy crab. Ummm, crunchy goodness. They are alway great with the kids when we bring them in as well.

The purpose of the Project Management program is to serve graduate students in the online environment in order to improve their business and project management competencies, provide them with professional development opportunities as project management practitioners, and provide opportunities for continued advancement in their chosen industry or field of endeavor.
Graduates will:
The Master of Science in Project Management (MSPM) is a 100% online program designed to satisfy the needs of working adults who wish to pursue a degree while remaining employed. The non-thesis degree program is open to anyone who holds a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and who has the desire to learn about project management. It provides professionals with a convenient, practical, and high-quality course of study that allows them to develop the new skills that are needed in managing today's workplace while earning graduate credits toward an advanced degree. The curriculum has been designed to follow the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide, which forms the foundation needed to obtain the Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential. UW-Platteville is a Global Registered Education Provider of the Project Management Institute. Each three-credit course is equivalent to 45 Professional Development Units (PDUs) toward maintenance of the PMP certification.
Those seeking admission to the Project Management master's program must have earned a bachelor's degree from a nationally or regionally accredited institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). International degrees will be evaluated on an individual basis. To be eligible for admission in full standing, a student must have an overall undergraduate grade point average of 2.75 or above, or 2.90 on the last 60 credits from the degree-granting institution. Students who do not qualify for admission in full standing may be admitted on a trial enrollment justified by the admitting department and approved by the dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Students are allowed seven years from the date of admission into the program to complete degree requirements; extensions may be granted for extenuating circumstances.
Program entrance requirements and degree completion requirements are consistent with those of the graduate programs of the institution. Students seeking admission as a Matriculated Student should follow the instructions found in the Online Admission Policies and Procedures section of this catalog.
Students with a bachelor's degree who wish to enroll in selected courses without being admitted to the program may enroll as special students. Special students can go directly to online courses at the web site (http://www.uwplatt.edu/disted) to register. A maximum of 12 credits may be taken as a special student.
The Master of Science in Project Management is earned upon the successful completion of 30-36 credit hours ((total varies depending upon how many business foundation courses are required based on the student's approved degree plan). All courses are three credits unless otherwise noted.
Select elective courses with the assistance of your academic advisor. Electives currently identified are listed below. Additional electives may be available through transfer and/or other arrangements. Contact the Program Coordinator for more information.
The curriculum is continuously updated to ensure its relevance to today's project managers.
A Certificate in Project Management is available entirely online. This certificate is designed for people who want a solid foundation in basic project management skills but are not currently pursuing the MSPM. The credits earned for the certificate can be applied toward this master's degree for those who apply and are accepted into the degree program. The Certificate in Project Management is comprised of three courses. Each course is worth three credits. Students may enroll in these courses as a Special Student.
Students must complete all of the required courses for this certificate from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville to be eligible to receive the certificate. Transfer courses may not be applied to the certificate program.
Together, the courses in this certificate address the nine areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) and provide a solid foundation for taking the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Examination. For more information on the Project Management Institute and its PMP Certification Examination, go to http://www.pmi.org and click on Professional Development and Careers, then Certification.

Garden Petit Fours
These petit fours are made easy by inverting mini cupcakes & decorating with jordan almonds, sprinkles & disco dust.
Designed by Hayley from TheDomesticRebel.com
I believe in cake mix, overdosing on sparkles, eating yet another cookie and saying what's on my mind. I also really, really love cupcakes. The Domestic Rebel is about baking fearlessly in the kitchen, turning ordinary ingredients into extraordinary treats!
Material List
- Box Cake Mix – White
- Duncan Hines Frosting Creations – Cherry Vanilla and White
- Chocolate Raspberry
- Water (¼ Cup)
- Light Corn Syrup (¼ Cup)
- Almond Extract (1 Tsp.)
- Powdered Sugar (4 Cups)
- Decorations – Jordan Almonds, Sixlets, Pastel Mints, Pastel Candy Corn, Wilton® Butterfly Decorations, Sprinkles, Pastel Sugar, Disco Dust, etc.
Project Instructions
When you were a kid, did you ever throw tea parties for you and your friends? More than likely, you didn't have actual tea in the kettle but instead, juice or Coke or something far less fancy than tea. And the food served was probably far less fancy than tea-party staples. No cucumber sandwiches, just some Cheetos and maybe a Twinkie that you had to eat pinky-up. Or am I alone in this and just admitted I had the World's Worst Tea Party?
Well now that I'm older, I don't necessarily throw tea parties often .. or at all. That'd mean I'd have to own a tea set, which I do not because I am 22 and spend my money frivolously on things that are not tea sets. However, I DO enjoy throwing parties and get-togethers, especially around holidays. Since my Mom shares her birthday month with Mother's Day, it's not uncommon for us to throw a small get-together with family and friends to celebrate her special month. And when we prepare the shindig, I always want to make sure it's elegant and classy .. unlike my Cheetos and Coke party days.
And look no further for an elegant and fancy dessert that's simple to make and wows a crowd more than Cheetos ever could. I made Petit Fours, which I'm sure means I just advanced by like, eleventy hundred fancy points. Don't be intimidated by these miniature, elaborate cakes. While they only look hard to make, they're actually quite easy and are definitely impressive. Plus, they're a perfect way to celebrate Mom's Day in a sweet way, both literally and figuratively!
Step 1 First, make your petit fours: Preheat your oven to 350°F and liberally grease a 24-cavity mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2 In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide the mixture evenly among three bowls. Flavor the second and third bowls with the Duncan Hines Frosting Creations flavors, respectively. This is optional, but I wanted fun-flavored petit fours.
Step 3 Portion heaping tablespoonfuls of dough among the greased muffin tins and bake for approx. 8-10 minutes or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely before carefully turning cupcakes out onto a wire rack, upside down. Bake off any remaining batter for the cupcakes and repeat.
Step 4 Once the cupcakes have cooled, prepare your glaze. In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring together the water, corn syrup, almond extract and powdered sugar, and whisk vigorously until it combines in a sticky, thick glaze. Remove from heat OR keep on a low flame while you work.
Step 5 Using a teaspoon, gently spoon the glaze over the cupcakes (remember, we inverted the cupcake, so the bottom is now the top) and, working quickly, adhere candies to form different floral shapes. Serve the petit fours immediately. Makes about 36.
*Notes: to make the flowers, attach five Jordan almonds in the same color around the cupcake. Use a Sixlets candy or a pastel mint as the center of the flower. To make the butterflies, gently attach both butterfly wings into the glaze, leaving a small strip of glaze down the center between the wings. Very carefully (you can even use clean tweezers for this), adhere small pearl sprinkles for the body of the butterfly, if desired. You can also sprinkle your petit fours with crystal sugar for a glittery effect, or with Disco Dust to make them shimmer, as shown.

Answer:We apologize but we do not currently have any sheets available in these colors that would be a 100% match. Our Fiesta Percale Sheets (#8578) would coordinate the best with the Zinnia Sateen Bedding.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere – We had reservations for 2 on Christmas Eve, 2007, and were promptly seated upon arrival. The restaurant was packed to capacity, but our server was attentive - touching base often enough without hovering - and gave us excellent guidance in food selection. The ambience was festive - the table setting was fittingly upscale; there was a blend of happy, multi-generational families seated at large tables and couples at smaller, more intimate booths. The food was wonderful and served at a nice pace (we were neither rushed nor left waiting very long). This was absolutely everything that I could want in a Christmas Eve dining experience! The management did a great job of planning for and managing the large Holiday crowd.
I had first heard about McCormick & Schmick's because of their impressive bar area and happy hour selections and would love to return to experience that as well.
Average – We went to this restraurant on 7/20/07. It was nothing special. The service was good but the food was very average and overpriced. Will not go back. The bar was very nice and the interior of the restaurant was nice as well but none of the food was above average.

Alternative call waiting service with Perl
If you can't get through to your home number, a script can check the line status and send a signal to you via the Web to tell you when the line is free.
You're trying to call home, but somebody is hogging the line. Of course, you could always ask your telco to enable call waiting. The service lets marathon phone users know that a call is waiting by beeping every couple of seconds. On the other hand, the service costs money, and the beep can get on your nerves. This is what prompted me to buy a small phone amplifier, and put together a handy application. The Smart Phone Recorder Control grabs the signal off the phone line and feeds it to the sound card in my Linux computer. Linux can access the signal via the /dev/dsp device, and the Perl Audio::DSP module from CPAN will read it. The script uses a couple of heuristic tricks to determine whether the line is busy, and if so, it keeps on trying until the line is free, before notifying the user via a hidden CGI script on a website.

On Thursday, December 19, at 8:15 p.m., Boulder County Communications received a report of a structure fire at the Greenbriar Inn. Upon arrival deputies were informed the fire was contained in the bar area and was possibly inside the walls of the structure. The staff and guests had been evacuated from the structure. No injuries were reported.
The Greenbriar Inn is a long-standing establishment consisting of two buildings. The original structure was built in 1873 and functioned as a post office, general store and residence. This structure is currently used as a bar area. In 1967 an addition was added onto the original structure and was turned into a restaurant.
