INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev, — Now that Incline Village and Crystal Bay real estate prices have stabilized and property values around Lake Tahoe are starting to trend positive for the first time in a few years, the biggest threat on the horizon is not the collapse of the European Union or a monumental earthquake. Rather it comes in the form of tiny mussels, clams, non-native plants and particularly in the summer of 2012, the potential for a catastrophic wildfire.
Weather conditions in late summer and autumn almost always create a recipe where fire danger is extreme due to low fuel moisture levels, low humidity, high air temperatures and the ever unpredictable wind conditions. What is different this year is the historically low snowfall during the previous winter that has created extreme fire conditions two months earlier than normal. With residential homes interfacing with the natural forest environment the tinderbox conditions this summer demand vigilance by residents and visitors alike in the Lake Tahoe basin.
Approximately 90 percent of wildfires are caused by humans with lightning strikes accounting for the majority of the fires created by Mother Nature. It's important now more than ever for property owners to limb up trees, remove dead branches, and thin out the forest within prescribed guidelines to create defensible space around your structure. And everyone needs to be extremely careful with any type of fire or flame as it only takes a couple of pine needles to ignite and start an out-of-control wildfire.
A major cause of concern to property owners is the number of homeless people camping out in the woods and national forest land in the basin. While most civic leaders don't want to admit it, on the edges of many communities there are encampments in the woods where people cook over open fires every night. The devastating Angora fire near South Lake Tahoe originated at the site of a campfire. Even if someone is attending to a campfire in the woods this summer, there is so much combustible material nearby that a couple of sparks or flying embers can easily ignite the extremely dry fuel that's in the forest.
But an equally large and potentially more devastating long-term threat to property values at Lake Tahoe is the introduction of invasive species. The recent alarming discovery that out of area boat owners had carelessly failed to clean and decontaminate their boats before trailering them up to Lake Tahoe presents an enormous risk almost beyond comprehension. We already have Asian clams infesting parts of the Lake. As their shells breakdown and wash up onto the beaches, the razor-sharp edges over time will make some beaches completely unusable. This infestation is presently confined to a couple of relatively small areas closer to South Lake Tahoe. But these tiny clams are extraordinarily difficult to remove and efforts to kill them are extremely costly and labor-intensive.
An even bigger threat are the quagga and zebra mussels which multiply incredibly rapidly and affix themselves to hard surfaces, clogging water intake pipes and taking over the structures to which they cling. These creatures have been wreaking havoc in lakes all over America and can be found in bodies of water within a relatively short drive of Lake Tahoe. Allowing just one small bunch of these highly reproductive mollusks into the Lake could result in utter devastation in a few short years. The greatest threat to property values at Lake Tahoe is the destruction of the pristine waters, beautiful beaches and the devastating impact this will have on all aspects of recreation and the local economy.
While the TRPA instituted mandatory boat checks a few years ago, the system is not completely foolproof and a significant risk still exists. The mere fact that a good percentage of boats from outside the Lake Tahoe basin need to go through the decontamination process and that invasive species are being found now on a somewhat regular basis should give everyone pause for thought. Our property values are derived from the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe and all the various forms of recreation and business that thrive in this alpine environment. With a Lake this large it is almost impossible to fix an environmental disaster especially after an invasive species takes hold and multiplies.
As real estate agents we are often talking about how when one analyzes a property a good portion of the value is in the land. That value will decline precipitously in the event of catastrophic wildfire or devastation wrought by some type of invasive species. It is the responsibility of every property owner, resident and visitor to keep the Lake Tahoe basin free of invasive species and to guard against all man-made causes of wildfire so that future generations can enjoy what we have all come to appreciate.

DENVER � Danilo Gallinari helped put a smooth finish on an otherwise uneven performance by the Denver Nuggets.
Gallinari scored 23 points, hitting a crucial 3-pointer in the waning seconds, and the Nuggets came back to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91 Friday night for their fourth consecutive victory.
�We were down the whole game, but we fought hard in the fourth quarter and made the right plays in the last couple of minutes to get the win,� said Nuggets guard Ty Lawson, who drove the lane for a tiebreaking layup before dishing off to Gallinari for the clinching 3-pointer with 34.9 seconds remaining.
Kosta Koufos added a career-high 21 points, and Kenneth Faried had 17 points and 11 rebounds to help the Nuggets overcome 22 turnovers, which matched a season high and led to 24 Cleveland points. They beat the Cavaliers for the 10th time in the last 13 meetings in Denver.
Kyrie Irving, playing despite an illness, scored 28 points to lead the Cavaliers. Dion Waiters had 18 points and Tristan Thompson 16.
�We�re still young and dumb and don�t understand what we have to do in the third quarter,� Cleveland coach Byron Scott said after the Cavaliers, up 11 at halftime, were outscored 53-35 in the second half.
�It happens over and over,� he said. �I�m tired of us giving games away and that�s what we did (Friday night). They came out aggressive, and we were on our heels the rest of the half. If we would have matched their aggressiveness, the way they came out, it could have been a different story.�
A dunk by Thompson put the Cavaliers up 62-50, but the Nuggets got a 3-pointer and a three-point play from Gallinari during an 11-0 run, pulling to 62-61 with 5:43 left in the third quarter.
Cleveland, which got a 3-pointer from Luke Walton and a putback dunk from Tyler Zeller, fought back to take a 76-72 lead into the fourth.
After Irving�s 3-pointer from beyond the top of the key gave Cleveland an 85-80 lead, the Nuggets put together a 7-0 burst, going in front 87-85 on a short hook by Koufos, who scored on an array of shots from in close.
�The guards did a heck of a job finding me in the key,� Koufos said.
Said Scott: �We lost track of him. He worked his way underneath the defense a few times. They are a very good interior passing basketball team.�
Lawson�s driving layup with 1:48 left snapped an 89-all tie and after Cleveland couldn�t convert on its next two possessions, Gallinari connected on his decisive 3-pointer.
�I�m always confident. I�m always ready to take those shots,� Gallinari said. �I was wide open. Ty got the ball to me, and it felt good leaving my hand. I thought it was going in as soon as I released it. It was an important shot, and it was important that we got this win at home.�
C.J. Miles, who missed Wednesday�s win over Atlanta because of a back strain, hit a 3 for the final points of the second quarter to stretch the Cavaliers� halftime lead to 56-45. It was their biggest advantage at that point.

A defendant in a felony case Monday in Grand Island Town Court apparently tried to commit suicide when he got away from Erie County sheriff's deputies and jumped over a second-floor railing, falling about 15 feet to the floor in Town Hall, sheriff's officials reported.
Sean C. Riordan, 20, of Grand Island, had just been arraigned on charges of felony assault, weapons possession and menacing in Town Court and was "properly secured and being led out of court" about 11:30 a.m., when he ran from the deputies escorting him and jumped over a railing on the second-floor.
Sheriff's Detective Brian O'Hara and Deputy Anthony Yavicoli provided immediate first aid, sheriff's officials reported, and the Grand Island Fire Company responded to help. Riordan was taken to Erie County Medical Center, where he remained in stable condition late Monday.
Riordan was arrested Saturday at his home, after his roommate told authorities Riordan stabbed him with a knife during an argument.
Sheriff's officials said "a preliminary investigation shows that all sheriff's office policies and regulations had been adhered to by the deputies who were transporting Riordan." An investigation is ongoing.

The 8 Worst Types of Blog on the Internet
#8: The "Let's Start a Blog" Blog
You know what these are like. The first post (which still hasn't scrolled off the front page) says something like "Test" or "I Have A Blog!" The next three posts are a little less focused. And then nothing. It's a problem of access, or too much of a good thing. A blog is a place to say something, and even though they're freely available to anyone who can fog a mirror, this does not imply that all mirror-foggers have something to say.*
__ *These are not to be confused with people who do have something to say, but shouldn't, like computer programmers.
#7: The Corporate Blog
This is the type of blog that talks about all the exciting things that some company is doing, like, oh let's say Lenovo. Even if for some bizarre reason you are interested in what Lenovo is doing -- perhaps you're Lenovo's mother? - these blogs are still pretty useless. Crafted by junior public relations staff and read exclusively by the same junior public relations staff, reading one of these blogs is like paddling a beige canoe across a sea of banality. Think about it: If you wanted to find out anything about what a company was up to, would you first check its blog? Or search it on Google News?
Should any companies be reading this (hi, Monsanto) and wish to improve their own corporate blog, I do have one suggestion: Allow every employee in the company access to post anonymously to the blog. Although this might probably definitely ruin your company, it will be a hell of a great way to get a lot of that buzz you idiots seem to want so much.
#6: The Shill Blog
One of the generally useful blog types out there are the Overzealous Nerd blogs, which is a term I've just invented which I'm pretty happy about. You know the blogs I'm talking about: They get all excitable about technologies and products. Thirty posts a day about the latest issues with tablet computers. That kind of nonsense.
To be fair, less than half of Gizmodo's daily coverage is about looking up girl's skirts.
No, my beef is with the blogs that are styled to look like the Overzealous Nerd Blog, but are actually veiled advertising blogs purpose-built to create false buzz for a specific product, a version of the marketing strategy called astroturfing. These are typically written by stealth marketers, which are normal human beings just like you and me, except they possess no eyes, living in a lightless world where joy dares not tread. Most of these blogs are pretty easy to smoke out -- a blog that's three weeks old with half the posts being glowing reviews of a new Chinese smartphone is always a little suspect. This makes them easy to ignore, just a nuisance when you're in the market for Chinese smartphones because of certain cheapness issues you might have.
#5: The Parrot Blog
This is a blog which seems to exist solely to reprint, quote or link to other people's content. You can find these blogs everywhere, but by their very nature, they prefer cropping up in the more heavily populated parts of the blogoverse.
This does not make you a reporter. This makes you a secretary; at most a pornographer, and even that takes good balance and a gentle touch.
There are a lot of varieties of parroting, three of which I've listed below: The Linker (or "Look at this other guy's useful content") Come on, guys. Use a link as a reference for your own discussion of something, not as the meat of the blog post itself. Sharing information is nice, but if these other blogs are so great, I'll soon just start hanging out there. (And bitching about their link posting habits most likely.) The Commentary (or "Here's a lengthy quote from someone else, plus most of a sentence from me explaining why I agree/disagree with it.") A variant of the linker, this one is popular amongst bloggers who feel a need to blog but don't have anything to say. If I'm hanging out at your blog, it's a safe bet that it's because you promised me unsavory pics of young starlets and/or I enjoy your writing. Please provide one or the other immediately. The Dissection (or "Here's a lengthy quote from someone else, broken up into individual points, and why I disagree with each point.") There's a special, tedious place in hell for anyone who makes this type of post. When read aloud, it's impossible to use anything other than a shrill, nasally voice. One trick about writing for the Internet is remembering how little most of your readers give a fuck about anything. At all times, they are a second away from every other site on the Internet, 75 percent of which have boobies. So don't try entertaining them with one side of a pedantic argument. Make your case, in all your own words, slap on a picture of some twins riding a Slip n' Slide and get out of the way.

Khloé Kardashian is heartbroken as she struggles with her marriage, but her mom Kris Jenner says the reality star is trying to stay positive.
"She is resilient but she's very strong," Jenner tells E! News.
Kardashian, 29, has been trying to remain upbeat as reports surfaced of her husband Lamar Odom's alleged infidelities and battle with drug issues.
"She's very sensitive and she loves really hard and she feels with all of her soul, but she also has the ability to put that game face on and go out there in the world and do what she needs to do," Jenner says.
Kardashian – who has been living separately from her NBA star husband – has been posting inspirational messages on Twitter, but a source tells PEOPLE that "she doesn't know" if her marriage can be saved.
"It doesn't seem like a reconciliation is any closer to happening," the source says.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
CureVac is collaborating with Cancer Research Institute (CRI) and Ludwig Cancer Research (Ludwig) to enable clinical testing of novel cancer immunotherapy treatment options involving CureVac's RNActive® vaccines.
Per the agreement, Ludwig and CRI will conduct up to five clinical studies of cancer immunotherapy combinations through their CVC Trials Network using CureVac's investigational drug, CV9202, combined with other agents to which CRI and Ludwig have access via their internal portfolios or through additional industry partnerships. More clinical-stage drugs from CureVac's product pipeline can also be added.
CV9202, according to CureVac, is being developed for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It consists of six RNActive-derived molecules coding for six different NSCLC-associated antigens and is the successor of CV9201, which CureVac says successfully completed a Phase I/IIa trial.
Adam Kolom, managing director of CRI's nonprofit venture fund, said in a statement that the collaboration with CureVac is actually the fourth in a series of partnerships CRI and Ludwig have struck with biotech and pharmaceutical companies to speed up the process of bringing next-generation combination immunotherapies into clinical studies. One such collaboration was made with MedImmune in October of 2012, which evaluated combinations of cancer immunotherapies—including MedImmune's antibody candidates tremelimumab, anti-OX40, and anti-B7-H1 (MED14736)—together with other agents available to the CRI/Ludwig portfolio or accessed through partnerships.
"Each of our partnerships increases investigator access to one or more high-promise immune reagents and brings new and potentially more effective combination treatments to patients," Kolom added.

Women's Basketball Falls Short to Butler
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State women's basketball team (0-2) lost a hard fought battle to in-state rival Butler (1-1) by a score of 68-62 Tuesday night in Worthen Arena.
Junior guard Brandy Woody led the Cardinals in scoring with 17 points, which tied her career high. Freshman forward Nathalie Fontaine chipped in 13 points on the night after shooting 5-of-7 from the field, while also pulling down nine rebounds. Sophomore guards Brittany Carter and Shelbie Justice each had 10 points.
Ball State scored 23 points off of Butler's miscues and 12 off of second chance points. The Cardinals struggled from three-point range, managing only a .263 percentage, but tallied 12 steals on the defensive end.
A three pointer from Carter and two buckets from Fontaine allowed the Cardinals to open the second half with a 7-0 run which knotted the game at 37-37 with 16:25 to play. Carter then nailed a three to give Ball State the lead 40-37 for the first time since the 17:24 mark of the first half.
The second half consisted of four ties and two lead changes. The Bulldogs edged away from the Cardinals at the 3:46 mark taking back the lead and then continued to control the contest the remainder of the half. Butler led by as many as eight (62-54) with 2:02 play. Ball State was able to come within five (64-59) with just over a minute left in the game but it wasn't enough as the Bulldogs would make their free throws down the stretch to secure the victory.
Ball State came out of the gates strong as Woody knocked down a three pointer in the opening minutes. Both teams saw one lead change and three ties within the first four minutes of play. Butler took a 10-8 lead at the 16:09 mark and built a 12-point cushion (28-16) with 7:52 left to play in the period. The Cardinals then orchestrated a 10-2 run to come within two (32-30) at the 1:22 mark after baskets from Fontaine, junior forward Katie Murphy, Justice, senior guard Shanee' Jackson, Carter and Woody. Butler would end the half up 37-30 over Ball State.
The Ball State women's basketball team heads to former Mid-American Conference member Marshall Saturday for a 5:30 tipoff.

Vernon, 36, was arraigned by Erie 5th Ward District Judge Joseph Lefaiver on charges of illegally possessing a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance and making an illegal turn.
Police accuse Vernon of having a .45 caliber gun that officers said they found after pulling over a van that Vernon was driving early this morning. The van had turned onto East 12th Street from State Street without yielding to two approaching ambulances that had their lights and sirens on, police said today.
Vernon also tried to run from officers after he pulled the van over, police said.
Vernon was placed in the Erie County Prison on $20,000 bond.

How to teach the next generation of open source with Scratch | Opensource.com
How to teach the next generation of open source with Scratch
Do you ever wish your kids would do something besides play video games on the computer? What if you could get a head start teaching them to be the next generation of open source developers?
Computers are increasingly easy to use, but programming is far more complex--and less accessible. For many of us who now have small children, programming began with BASIC programs on computers that forced you to make them do something by offering nothing but a command line.
At school, kids often learn how to use tools but not how to create. Tools become obsolete quickly, so knowing how to create is much more important, and the tools will be successively intuitive.
Andrew Baerg presented an introduction to teaching kids Scratch at Open Source Bridge. He recommends the cross-platform system, which was also the basis for the Girl Scouts game design workshop we posted about last month, for introducing kids to programming.
The drag-and-drop system of snap-together boxes makes it easy in just a few clicks to make a sprite move, wait, talk, and perform assorted tasks in seconds.
This starts things off by teaching them the most fundamental experience of programming: the computer will do exactly and only what you tell it to. This gives them the feeling of freedom to create instructions, but also that feeling of frustration when they discover the chasm between what you tell a computer and what you actually meant. Then they find the secondary freedom sometimes too rare in a kid's sphere--the freedom to make as many mistakes as they want.
"One of the biggest advantages of these opportunities is teaching your kids to be the kind of computer users you want them to be," said Baerg. "Users who are able to debug and find out what went wrong rather than getting fearful and not trying."
The freedom to explore
An early-grade-school-aged child generally experiences computers most through video games, which have a lot of walls--places your character can't go, things it can't do. They're restricted to the interface of that game system. If you ask them what's behind those walls, they often will tell you that there is something there, when really there is not. This is the opportunity to explain to them that if you can see the source of the game, it's an opportunity for you to create whatever you want beyond the wall.
As a side note, Scratch was available for iPhone/iTouch but was removed from the App Store. The explanation was that they won't allow apps that can execute code. That restriction means lost ideas. An idea with no means of expression is gone.
Kids aren't all the same, and their ideas aren't all the same. Not all kids are going to enjoy programming, and that's OK. Baerg does believe, however, that everyone is a hacker on something, whether it's drawing, making up games, telling stories, or making music. Giving kids the freedom to spend time on what they enjoy lets them explore the hacking that appeals to them, not the hacking that appeals to you. Don't get bogged down in exactly what they're doing in Scratch--just let them explore, whether it's to make up rules for a game or draw hundreds of costumes for their characters. Teach them with freedom.
Have a programming club
Baerg offered several pieces of advice for starting a programming club for your kids:
- Let the kids drive the enthusiasm and invitations to friends.
- Interact with parents on a trust level, but they don't have to be there.
- Keep it to one hour--long enough to get something done, but not so long they lose interest.
- Prepare in advance. Don't try to wing that 30 minutes of prepared program, even if you think it's simple.
- Take and share. Sample Scratch programs are widely available online.
- Resist the urge to make it perfect. Leave a degree of incompletion to give the kids the opportunity to make it better.
- It's not only about games. Explore art, music, and storytelling too.
And finally, simply let them get their ideas. Your role is to help them express their ideas in programming. If they don't have ideas, you can encourage them with suggestions--"How about a sound?" or "What if something moved?"--that still leave them room to make the ideas their own.
Bring it back to open source
Scratch offers a built-in opportunity to teach kids about open source and sharing. The Scratch menu has a button called "Share this online." Click that, and anyone can go to the Scratch homepage and download the code to your project. From that, when someone adds to and reuploads the code, they have what they call remixes, which are analogous to forks. Commenting is on by default on those Scratch projects, creating analogies to the good and sometimes negative effects of working openly in a community.
Scratch an itch and get a kid programming.

Scratch is proprietary ("semi free software" it looks like) and the next version is tied to proprietary Adobe Flash. Good idea in principle but IMHO until it's fully free and not encumbered to any proprietary technology, not the best thing to teach the "next generation" of FOSS.
Page says free and also allowed download.
Free in this context refers to "freedom" and not merely to a cost of zero. See this page for a brief description of "free software":
The Scratch downloadable contains proprietary components, and the publicly available source code is under a restrictive license:
The license limits the ability to "use, copy, modify, merge, publish, or distribute" to "non-commercial purposes" which is a limit on freedoms 0, 2, and 3. "Free software" actually implies that commercial usage (including commercial distribution, which means selling) is allowed (i.e. you can take a copy of GNU/Linux and sell it, or sell support contracts for it, for example). There are thriving businesses built on top of free software.
Restriction number 4 (which prohibits the user to implement a feature for uploading projects to MIT's website) is a limit on freedom 1 and is in place to ensure that the proprietary MIT version is technologically superior to any derivatives.
Restriction number 5 looks like a sort of copyleft, but the fact that it requires to make source available to "the public" on a public website may imply that the user is not free to make modifications for her own private use. The GNU GPL does not require that source be made available "to the public, on a public website" but merely that anyone who receives a copy of the derivative work also receive, or be offered, the source (i.e. you are not required to distribute derivatives of GPL programs at all, but if you do, you must do so under the terms of the GPL).
Scratch 2.0 is being implemented with Adobe Flash. See:
Adobe Flash is a tightly controlled proprietary platform. In contrast to standardized languages like C, C++, HTML, JavaScript, etc. and nonprofit and community led languages like Python, Ruby, and Perl, Adobe Flash (and associated technologies such as ActionScript, Flex, and Air) is controlled by a single entity that does not answer to any community's wants or needs. Adobe displays their disdain and indifference to the non-Windows-users who have to rely on their plugins and frameworks on a regular basis, for example when they discontinued Adobe Air for GNU/Linux out of the blue.
To any Flash/Flex/ActionScript developers out there - if this is the platform you prefer, by all means go for it. But this is NOT the ideal platform to raise the next generation of the FOSS community on. We need LESS dependence on Flash in FOSS.
I agree with you. I introduced it at school but quickly reached a programming situation I can't solve ( firing bullets at moving object). Who will train us to adequate level ?

J Clin Oncol 31, 2013 (suppl; abstr 8541)
Shivlal Pandey, S. Vincent Rajkumar, Angela Dispenzieri, Martha Lacy, Morie Gertz, Francis Buadi, David Dingli, Suzanne R. Hayman, Stephen J. Russell, John Anthony Lust, Steven R. Zeldenrust, Prashant Kapoor, Arleigh Robertson McCurdy, Robert A. Kyle, Shaji Kumar; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Background: Achievement of a complete response (CR) to treatment is an important predictor of outcome for patients (pts) with myeloma (MM). The goal of the current study was to assess whether the treatment that resulted in CR has any impact on the outcomes.
Methods: We identified 462 pts with MM, who fulfilled the IMWG criteria for CR, seen at Mayo Clinic between 1991 and 2011. The treatment was classified into groups by the regimen that led to CR (Table), and also based on whether an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) was part of the regimen. The remaining 21 pts had a variety of regimens and are not included in the Table.
Results: The median age at diagnosis was 58.5 yrs (27.1–82.3 yrs) with 56% males. The overall survival (OS) from diagnosis for the entire cohort was 10.7 yrs (95% CI; 9.3, NR). The median interval from diagnosis to the recorded CR was 10.3 mos (range 1- 170), with 272 (58.4%) and 385 (82.7%) obtaining a CR in <12 mos and <24 months from diagnosis. We first compared the outcomes based on whether ASCT was part of the regimen; 328 had an ASCT while 117 pts received only chemotherapy. Median time to progression (TTP) following a CR was 5.1 yrs for the ASCT group compared with 5.5 yrs for the rest (P=0.3). Median OS from CR was 9.1 yrs for the ASCT group and 7.5 yrs for the rest (P=0.5) and OS from diagnosis was 10.1 yrs for the ASCT group and 12.6 for the rest (P=0.5). Examining the outcomes based on the regimen utilized showed that the TTP and OS from CR as well as OS from diagnosis were similar for all the groups (Table). Among pts who had a CR within a year of diagnosis, there were no differences in terms of the TTP or OS from the onset of CR or from diagnosis between the ASCT vs. chemotherapy groups or between the different regimens (P=NS for all comparisons).
Conclusions: The current study highlights an important message regarding CR in MM. The results suggest that the prognostic value of CR is independent of the nature of therapy, and likely reflects the contribution of disease biology to obtaining a CR.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle called for an investigation of the Internal Revenue Service on Monday after the agency admitted to targeting conservative groups for audit.
The IRS has apologized for what it acknowledged was "inappropriate" targeting of conservative political groups applying for tax-exempt status during the 2012 presidential election. The employees worked out of the IRS central office for tax-exempt applications in Cincinnati.
The local We the People-Ohio Valley organization was not among the conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, according to Robert Connors of St. Clairsville, spokesman for the group.
"We did not get targeted because we didn't go for tax-exempt status," he said. "We suspected this (IRS tax audits) would happen, and we stayed away from it. I'm glad we did. ... This is just an example of government bullying, typically known as 'tyranny.' When we are afraid of government, we are not free anymore."
Connors said he had been in contact with U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, who informed him he would push for a full investigation of the IRS' actions.
"Americans deserve an accountable, responsible federal government - one which exhibits honesty, integrity and trust," Johnson said. "Evidence that the IRS specifically targeted conservative groups is shocking, and quite simply un-American. Such politically motivated actions by a government agency, or its employees, to target any individual or organization is absolutely unacceptable.
"No American should ever be targeted or harassed for their political beliefs, especially by their own government. I will be demanding a full investigation in order to find out exactly what happened and to hold those accountable who were behind these egregious acts."
Democratic Sens. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Joe Manchin of West Virginia also criticized the IRS Monday, citing the need for more investigation at the agency.
"The IRS should never pick out one political viewpoint for extra scrutiny," Brown said. "As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, I'll be working to ensure that there is a full investigation into this matter and appropriate disciplinary actions are taken. I look forward to learning all the facts. The IRS should take a hard look at political campaign organizations masquerading as charitable organizations, but it should do so across the board."
Manchin termed the actions of the IRS "unacceptable and "un-American."
"Government agencies using their bureaucratic muscle to target Americans for their political beliefs cannot be tolerated," he said. "The president must immediately condemn this attack on our values, find those individuals in his administration who are responsible and fire them.
"While we await answers from the inspector general, there must be a congressional investigation to determine how this happened and to prevent this from ever happening again," Manchin added.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., had no comment on the issue Monday, according to his office.
"Although I am happy that it has finally admitted to placing politics over policy, the IRS owes conservative groups far more than a mere apology for their unfair treatment," added Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. "It is crystal clear that additional safeguards are in order to prevent this obtrusive behavior in the future. This overt and excessive harassment of groups targeted for their political beliefs is despicable, and many questions remain. How were 'low-level workers in Cincinnati' able to initiate practices that completely undermine the IRS's promise to treat all groups with an even hand? Even more, what were they hoping to do with the copious personal information they obtained from these groups?
"Having led IRS reform in the '90s with then-Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., I am sorely disappointed to see this agency head down this path yet again. I expect quick answers from the IRS as to how this happened in the first place and what steps are being taken to ensure that it never happens again," Portman continued.
U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-Charleston, continued the call for more investigation of the IRS.
"The IRS' witch hunt of conservative groups is not only appalling, but it is un-American," said Capito. "The agency's admission that they targeted groups for political reasons should put every American on edge. Our 1st Amendment rights are a foundational principle of American democracy, and this gross violation deserves to be fully investigated.
"Regardless of political affiliation, no American should be targeted for excising their constitutional rights," she added. "I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get to the bottom of the IRS' wrongdoings, and I call on President Obama to immediately denounce their shameful actions."
U.S. Rep. David B. McKinley, R-Wheeling, was traveling in the district and could not be reached for comment Monday, said spokesman Jim Forbes.

It was a three-in-one day at Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School. That's three-in-one as in Division I athletic scholarships.
Three BG seniors - basketball players Halee Adams and Kayla Bates and baseball player Jextin Pugh - signed national letters of intent Wednesday afternoon as admiring family, friends, teammates and school officials watched.
"This is a great day for Bishop Guilfoyle," said assistant principal/athletic director Mike Cacciotti, who was in charge of the program.

(From left) BG's Kayla Bates, Jextin Pugh and Halee Adams all received Division I scholarships this year.
Indeed, it was a great day for the school.
Adams, who will attend Siena College, and Bates, who will go to Mount St. Mary's, are the first BG girls basketball tandem to receive Division I scholarships in almost 30 years.
Chris O'Connor (East Carolina) and Diane Carey (St. Francis) earned DI scholarships in 1984 after leading the Lady Marauders to their first PIAA state championship.
"It's special," coach Mark Moschella said of Adams and Bates, who will be four-year starters at BG. "They've been close since they came in. This whole group has been close, and that's what makes it fun for me because they want to see each other succeed."
As freshmen, Adams and Bates helped the Lady Marauders win the PIAA Class A state title, they were runners-up two years ago and advanced to the second round of states last year.
Adams missed half of last season with a knee injury, but says she's 100 percent recovered and ready to go this season, and Moschella praised her work ethic.
"It's supposed to take six months [to recover from an ACL injury]," she said, "but you really don't get everything back for a year. I'm going on my 14th month so I'm ready. My knees feel great and I'm ready to play again."
"She's put in the rehab, and that was tough on her, although she never complained," Moschella said.
Adams, a 5-8 guard, considered Mount St. Marys, Quinnipiac and St. Francis (PA.) before giving a commitment to Siena.
"I chose Siena because I really wanted to go to a Catholic school, and the coaches there are determined to win," Adams said. "They're going to win, and I want to be part of that."
Adams, a 1,000-point scorer and the Altoona Mirror's Player-of-the-Year in 2011, said she's been recruited as a point guard-guard, even though she hasn't played a lot of point in high school.
"I've played it in AAU," she said. "If you're a basketball player, you can play any position they put you in."
Halee is the daughter of Gene and Lynn Adams of Hollidaysburg.
Bates said she also looked at Canisius, Eastern Illinois, Loyola (Md.) and St. Francis (N.Y.).
"I actually chose Mount St. Marys early because I felt really comfortable there," she said. "It's a beautiful campus, the coaches were extremely welcoming to me and they have what I want to major in [biology]."
At 5-7, Bates said she'll probably play the two-guard in college and some point guard as well.
"I'll probably be a one-two combo guard," said Bates, who was the Mirror's Player-of-the-Year last season.
Bates, who lives in Tyrone with her mother, Valerie, and father, Kevin, was coached by her father in her early basketball years and said, "he definitely made me the player I am."
Among her goals this season is to win another state championship.
"Ever since my freshman year, it's been a huge goal," she said.
"I think Kayla felt she had to do some extra things last year when Halee was out," Moschella said, "and, in some ways, it made Kayla a better player. She's worked hard on her defensive skills, as well as her offense, and I think that's put her at the level she's at now."
Pugh said he also considered Stony Brook before deciding on Binghamton because of its rural atmosphere and the reception he received from the coaches.
"The coaches are very outgoing and I definitely feel they want to help me get better," said Pugh, a 6-2, 230-pound slugger who pitches and plays first base. "They're going to let me play both [positions] and that's one of the main reasons I chose to go there."
Pugh, who plans to study psychology, is the son of Alan and Shannon Pugh and lives in Duncansville.
His long-range goals are to go to Omaha for the College World Series and eventually be drafted by a professional team.
"As a baseball player, at the high school level, he's the real deal," BG baseball coach Bill Wolf said of Pugh. "He's got the heart and desire to lead a team.
"Even as a 9th grader, he was a starter and pretty much led us to our first appearance in District 6 title game ever," Wolf said. "Now, we've been there two of the last three years.
"He makes the kids around him better because of his work ethic. He's got the arm strength and bat speed to play at the next level."

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
With the rapid rise of next-generation sequencing (NGS), one of its technologies, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), has taken center stage for analyzing whole transcriptomes. Although RNA-Seq is still the new kid on the block, this technology, its proponents say, could revolutionize transcriptomics, revealing the architecture of gene expression in unprecedented detail.
RNA-Seq applications are proliferating and include the elucidation of disease processes, targeted drug development, and personalized medicine. RNA-Seq also has veterinary and agricultural applications. RNA-Seq, however, will realize its promise only if certain impediments are overcome. These include consistency of methodology, cost, and optimization of data analysis.
To orient researchers who are unfamiliar with the differences between RNA-Seq platforms, Kelli Bramlett, R&D scientist, Life Technologies, poses two key questions:
1. Are you interested in pure discovery, in a nonguided fashion, of every RNA species present in your test samples?
2. Are you mainly focused on measuring expression levels of well-annotated coding RNA transcripts?
"You might have a set of genes crucial to identifying a disease state, or profiling the stage of a specific type of cancer, or monitoring development in your experimental system," elaborates Dr. Bramlett. "You then would want to employ a system that allows you to quickly and efficiently focus on just your genes of interest and screen through many different samples in a short amount of time."
Researchers who are clear about their experimental goals are better able to choose the technology that best suits their needs.
"Some RNA-Seq allows for true discovery but will require greater sequencing depth to get all the information. Oftentimes, this type of deep sequencing requires significant additional time for analysis," continues Dr. Bramlett. "If a focused panel targeting specific RNAs will better meet your needs, this can be accomplished on systems with much faster turnaround time and less sequencing depth. Also, the analysis of a less complex targeted library is much more straightforward."
RNA-Seq has advanced our ability to characterize transcriptomes at high resolution, and the laboratory and data analysis techniques used for this NGS application continue to mature, notes John Tan, Ph.D., senior scientist, Roche NimbleGen. "High sequencing costs combined with the omnipresence of pervasive, abundant transcripts decrease our power to study rare transcripts, decrease throughput, and limit the routine use of this technology."
For example, notes Dr. Tan, a small number of highly expressed housekeeping genes can be responsible for a large fraction of total sequence reads in an experiment, thus increasing the amount of sequencing required to characterize less abundant transcripts of interest.
To improve the cost-effectiveness, throughput, and sensitivity of RNA-Seq, Dr. Tan and colleagues are developing methods to perform targeted RNA-Seq. "Targeted enrichment of transcripts of interest circumvents the need to perform separate rRNA depletion or polyA enrichment steps on input RNA," explains Dr. Tan. "By targeting their sequencing, researchers can avoid wasting resources on housekeeping transcripts and focus instead on genes or genomic regions of interest."
Targeted RNA-Seq can allow deeper sequence coverage, increased sensitivity for low-abundance transcripts, less total sequencing per sample, and more samples processed per sequencing instrument run. "Significantly, we observe that the enrichment step also preserves quantitative information very well," adds Dr. Tan. "These advances will facilitate a more routine use of RNA-Seq technology."
Some samples present challenges for accurate RNA-Seq. "Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) patient tissue archives and the clinical data associated with them can be invaluable when dissecting the etiology and prognosis of disease. However, these may provide only limited amounts of sample that may also be degraded," comments Gary Schroth, Ph.D., distinguished scientist, Illumina. "Standard techniques for RNA-Seq often don't work."
Dr. Schroth says that most labs currently gauge RNA integrity via the RIN (RNA integrity number). "Labs often will look at the RIN as a measure of quality control prior to working with sample. We found that the RIN number from FFPE samples is not a sensitive measure of RNA quality or a good predictor for library preparation. A better predictor is RNA fragment size. We developed the DV200 metric, the percentage of RNA fragments greater than 200 nucleotides, a size needed for accurate construction of libraries."
Illumina offers its TruSeq® RNA Access Library Preparation Kit especially for FFPE samples. This kit, when used with the DV200 metric, provides cleaner and more accurate library preparation. This new approach allows researchers to start with five-to tenfold less material when making libraries from FFPE samples.
Most NGS requires initial construction of libraries that may not provide the specificity desired even when prepared from mRNA. "Traditional RNA-Seq library preparation loses the strandedness of transcripts—information that is critical in understanding cellular transcription," says Jungsoo Park, senior marketing and sales manager, Lexogen.
According to Park, Lexogen tackled this problem by developing a method to generate libraries with greater than 99.9% strand specificity with a simplified process that takes 4.5 hours to complete. Lexogen's SENSE mRNA-Seq library kit initially isolates mRNA via the poly A tail and utilizes random hybridization of the transcripts that are bound to the magnetic beads without transcript fragmentation. "This is a revolutionary method, which keeps high strandedness of the transcripts," asserts Park. "And it takes only half a day to finish."
One of the novel aspects of this approach is the use of starter/stopper heterodimers containing platform-specific linkers that hybridize to the mRNA. "The starters serve as primers for reverse transcription, which then terminates once the stopper from the next heterodimer is reached," explains Park. "At this point, the newly synthesized cDNA and the stopper are ligated while still bound to the RNA template." According to Park, there is no need for a time-consuming fragmentation step, and library size is determined simply by the protocol itself.
For researchers only intending to see the expression levels, sequencing of the entire mRNA transcript will require subsequent bioinformatics processes such as RPKM, a measure of relative molar RNA concentration. To meet this challenge, Lexogen developed a kit, QuantSeq, which counts the 3′ end of each transcript. "Sequencing mRNA at or close to the 3′ end and counting their reads," says Park, "provides an economical alternative to microarrays for gene expression and other studies."

Evidence of God exists all around us
A Jan. 27 letter about keeping religion out of public schools stated that belief in a supernatural power is an "extraordinary claim that remains unsubstantiated."
Every day, there is evidence all over the world that God exists. We live in a natural world that we can see, feel and touch. Running alongside our natural world is a spirit world, which we cannot see. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
What I find amazing is that atheists believe in something that by their own definition is impossible. Atheists believe only in the natural world. They deny the existence of a spirit world. They claim that all life started with the big bang, which states that once there was nothing, then all of a sudden, a big explosion happened and life started. The problem with this theory is that in the natural world, it is impossible to start with nothing and then have something.
Our country has chosen a path to systemically take God out of public life, and there is a correlation with taking God out of our lives and the rise of evil. This is no coincidence. When you tell God you don't want him or his blessings or protections, you give evil free rein. Ask the 55 million innocent babies who never got the right to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness how they feel about our country's attitudes toward God.

A 2-year-old boy was transported to a hospital Sunday evening after he was struck by a vehicle.
Police say Joseph Ortega was struck in the 1700 block of Habitat Lane in north Greeley, and he didn't sustain any serious injuries. Ortega apparently darted out into the street from behind a parked vehicle, and the driver didn't see him in time, said Greeley Police Sgt. Steve Black .
He was taken to North Colorado Medical Center.
The driver of the vehicle has not been ticketed, but the crash is still under investigation, Black said.

I get the mentality of some of you with his price tag, but I wish this bad nightmare of Semin would just go away. We don't need another lazy floater.
However, I would love for Doan to play for the Wings. If we can't get Parise there are some interesting second tier combos that will give us some well rounded depth but not the natural firepower we need.
I've spoken to a few Caps fans, and they personally think the whole "is a lazy floater" thing is overblown. Ovechkin has really tailed off and appears to be taking a majority of the brunt there now.
Plus, I am starting to warm up to the idea of Semin and Datsyuk on a line. Datsyuk has always wanted a Russian counterpart since the Larionov days and I bet Semin could get back to his old ways with Pavel.
Sure it is a risk, but it beats losing out on Parise and having no options.

Enjoy a relaxing safari in the heart of the famous Kruger National Park. Go on leisurely game drives and see the varied wildlife of the region and enjoy excellent service.
This 3 day classic safari package offers a relaxing escape in the heart of the beautiful bush. It is based on a 2 night stay at a classic Kruger Park Safari Camp in a private concession removed from the crowds. Enjoy excellent game viewing, including the Big Five - namely Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Rhino and Elephant.
This lodge has a prime position on a dam, relax on the loungers on the spacious deck and watch the wildlife come down to drink, including herds of Elephant, Zebra, and perhaps a pride of Lion, all while relaxing on a comfortable lounger and sipping on refreshing drinks.
Experience the diverse wildlife of the Kruger National Park while staying in a comfortable lodge on a private concession that is known for its excellent wildlife sightings. Discover the peace and tranquillity of life in the bush.
Explore the region while on game drives in specially adapted, open 4x4 vehicles. These excursions are led by a knowledgeable guide who will interpret the secrets of the bush, creating a memorable experience. Alternatively, relax on the loungers on the spacious deck and watch the wildlife come down to drink. See herds of Elephant, Zebra, and perhaps a pride of Lion all without any effort.
In the afternoon be pampered with a revitalising massage in the lapa or on the deck. Cool off with a dip in the sparkling plunge pool while watching the Hippo in the dam. In the evening gather on the deck to watch the sun slip below the horizon while sipping on a drink of your choice before savouring a delicious meal around a dancing fire in the boma area.
On the first morning of your Relaxing Kruger Safari you will catch a flight from Johannesburg to Nelspruit. Upon your arrival, you will be met by a driver who will drive you to a lodge that offers Classic Kruger National Park accommodation. Experience the wonders of Kruger for the first time and keep a lookout for wildlife.
Once you arrive at the camp, enjoy a light lunch and relax a bit before heading out on your first South African safari in an open 4x4 vehicle. The game drive will be between 3 - 4 hours including a memorable stop for sundowners in the heart of the African bush. Upon return to the camp, tuck into a tasty meal in the open air boma under the canopy of stars.
In the morning choose to have a lie in, or after coffee/tea and rusks, head out on the early morning game drive. The animals are more active at this time of day and the game viewing should be good. Your knowledgeable ranger will track African wildlife such as Lion, Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino and Cheetah.
After the 3 hour game drive, you will return to the lodge for a leisurely brunch. The warm midday period of this South African safari in Kruger can be spent relaxing at the pool delighting in a good book, or maybe having a relaxing massage treatment on your private patio. Chill out on the loungers after cooling off in the plunge pool, or just get stuck into a good book.
In the late afternoon there will be tea, followed by the afternoon game drive. The guide will stop off and serve sundowners while you take in the beautiful sunset. Then there will be a chance to see some of the regions nocturnal animals on a night drive. Back at the lodge, tuck in to a delicious dinner and relax and swap stories of what you have seen around the fire.
On the final day of your Relaxing Kruger Safari Package you can enjoy a last early morning game drive, or choose to sleep in. After brunch you will be picked up and driven back to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport for your flight back to Johannesburg.

James Franco is at it again.
The Of Mice and Men actor – who's been on a roll posting shirtless snapshots on Instagram and happily marked his 36th birthday Saturday with a sleepy selfie – is once again creating a stir on the photo-sharing site.
This time, the selfie king has called on a pal to help him out.
"BED SELFIE WITH KEEGAN ALLEN!!!!! TIME TO GO NUTS!!!!" Franco captioned an Instagram pic posted Tuesday that showed him getting cuddly in bed with the Pretty Little Liars actor.
Allen, 24, posted his own snapshot, an outtake showing Franco laughing and Allen wearing jeans, while the pair look off to the side.
"Loved seeing 'of mice and men,' '" he wrote. "And @jamesfrancotv showed me how to do a proper bed selfie."
The duo appear to have struck up a bromance to end all bromances: Keegan has worked with Franco on three recent films – Palo Alto, The Sound and the Fury and Bukowski.
