Genetic evaluations are at a crossroads. Both the science of genomics and government's funding limitations are reshaping the field. As decisions are being made on a new structure to fund and calculate evaluations and ensure data flows into the system, we continue to believe all industry partners, including grassroot breeders, deserve to see original agreements before they are signed.
After nearly two years of committee work, all the right things finally were said by genetic leaders attending the latest Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding meeting. Granted, it took a USDA deputy administrator's comments at the gathering to bring clarity to the situation . . . that, yes, this should be a public process, and people should see the details as USDA transfers the industry's database for genetic evaluations to the private sector. (For more details, you can find a full meeting report in the December issue on pages 794 and 795.)
In all fairness, a new agreement governing genetic evaluations has not been easy to negotiate. Many competing interests between the three major Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding players (A.I., DHI, and the breeds) must be considered before a deal can be struck. Despite their differences, all parties must remember that, ultimately, the dairy producer . . . through semen costs, milk testing fees, and breed association activity, will bear any added costs.
We understand pressure is mounting to get a deal in place. The self-imposed April and July deadlines for a new Business Plan and Cooperative Agreement have been openly shared as target dates to finalize agreements. But that pressure shouldn't be so great that we need to agree to a hastily assembled deal that lacks critical review.
USDA's deputy administrator for the Agricultural Research Service agrees. He stated it is his goal to have a new agreement signed this year. However, he admitted there has to be enough time so the process can be open and transparent. If it takes more time, USDA officials are willing to take it. And so should our industry representatives.
The clock is now ticking if genetic leaders want to meet their own deadlines. While they have said complete agreements would be available on the Council's website and for any industry partner who wishes to disseminate the information, we are still waiting for our first copies so we may share them with you. Up until this point, there hasn't been clear communication. Everyone has pledged to do better, but we need to see it in practice.

"If he could see for himself that all of you have showed up to show my brother love at this hard time, and the family gets to see all of you show the love that you've shown Paul, it's going to stay with me forever," the actor, 46, told the crowd over a police car's loudspeaker in a video posted by KTLA-TV.
"I just wanted to say thank you," he added. "Thank you for coming down here and showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciated him."
Diesel also honored Walker, who died at 40 in a fiery car crash Saturday in Santa Clarita, Calif., with a remembrance on Facebook.
Under a photo of himself and Walker, Diesel wrote: "Pablo, I wish you could see the world right now… and the profound impact, your full life has had on it, on Us… on me…"
Using Walker's character's name from The Fast and the Furious movies, he added: "I will always love you Brian, as the brother you were… on and off screen."
Diesel added a quote from Scottish poet Thomas Campbell: "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die."
Post by Vin Diesel.
The investigation into Walker's death continues, as police look at speed as a possible factor in the crash. Autopsies are expected to take place Tuesday on the remains of Walker and the driver of the car, Roger Rodas.
Walker's family on Monday posted a statement to the late actor's Facebook page thanking fans for their support.
"Paul Walker's family appreciates the outpouring of love and goodwill from his many fans and friends," it read. "They have asked, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul's charity Reach Out Worldwide."
The statement continued: "It's comforting for them to know that the son, brother, and father they love so much is equally adored, respected, and appreciated by so many. Paul founded the organization with the genuine desire to help others, and it's important to his family to keep his memory alive through ROWW."

If you are visiting Newport on any given Wednesday in the summer season head over to Memorial Blvd and the gathering that is the Aquidneck Growers' Market. The Market actually operates year round at another nearby Middletown location. The Newport branch has dozens of summer vendors so the product doesn't get any fresher. Organic produce is available alongside conventionally grown food.
You may find grass fed beef, free range, cage free poultry; herbs and mushrooms both wild and grown, wild yeast products; artisan breads and pastries, traditional English cakes and baked goods; abundant tree fruit and berries, cut flowers, perennials and plants; fresh squeezed lemonade, raw cold pressed juices, teas, salsas and sauces from local vegetables; Middle Eastern food, tacos, pies, ice cream; handcrafted skin care products and field grown sunflowers and more.
Do not miss the local seafood products from several outstanding enterprises. Matunuck Oyster and Vegetable Farm is part of the growing aquaculture industry in RI and the surrounding waters. From nearby Stonington and especially interesting is Bomster Scallops and Shrimp. Their scallops are environmentally harvested, vacuum packed and flash frozen right on the boat without water or chemical rinses. The result practically melts in your mouth.
They also specialize in the royal red shrimp, a deep sea shrimp, a species somewhat new to the market but already in great demand. The sustainability of the species that are sold is a guiding principle for the company. With Bomster the product is locally caught, locally marketed and locally consumed. You'll enjoy every bite of the sweet delicate flavor of this soft fleshed shrimp. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Years before someone uttered "social networking" for the first time, there were farmers markets.
It is social networking in person: farmers and food makers interacting with shoppers and browsers; shoppers and strangers friendly with each other. Most come with the shared goal of getting good, locally grown food to the table (though a number come just to eat breakfast or lunch from the vendors).
It takes more time and trouble than the grocery store to find parking, pick out your own stuff and tote bags, but the popularity of the markets indicates that people don't seem to mind.
This week, major local farmers markets are back in full force. Mount Pleasant's Tuesday afternoon and evening market reopened this week. The Charleston Farmers Market returns to Marion Square on Saturday. Summerville's market also cranks up Saturday. North Charleston's market gets underway April 18.
Most of the markets have some new vendor every year. For Charleston, they include Yard Birds, selling fried chicken by the plate or the bucket; Molly & Me Pecans; Old Like New Resourced Wood Company; and Outta My Huevos, an outgrowth of a food truck that will offer brunch fare ranging from Huevos Rancheros to Drug Store Burgers.
But there's more. "We have additional farmers, actually more farmers than we've ever had before," says market manager Harrison Chapman.
Among them are Maria Baldwin and Our Local Foods; H. Bernard Freeman of Freeman Farm (two other Freemans also are at the market); Nellie Farms, offering produce, flowers and herbs; and Dirtworks Farm Alliance run by Rita Bachmann, selling "sustainable ecologically grown" produce.
New faces in Summerville also include food trucks. "We're going to have food trucks out there that we didn't have in the past," says Nick Kierpiec, assistant manager of parks and recreation for the town.
He expects to have two trucks each week, rotating through all of those in the area over time.
Another newcomer will be sweet news to Southern food purists: "Banana Palooza" will serve up homemade 'nana pudding.
In all, Summerville's market is counting 62 vendors covering 88 spots with some occupying more than one space. "We're jamming people anywhere we can," Kierpiec said.
One vendor in particular makes Summerville's market stand out, Kierpiec says.
"Everybody knows us for Butch Chastain, known as the Flying Farmer. He does Flying Farmer Grits & Meal," Kierpiec says.
Chastain hauls in a 1917 grits mill powered by an only slightly younger engine dating to 1925. "It sounds like popping popcorn. It's very, very neat."
But to Kierpiec, "The greatest things about our market, these people embrace each other as a family." Everybody gets to know one another, he says.
Charleston's market, the area's oldest and largest at Marion Square in downtown Charleston, will open its new season with fanfare. Featured attractions on Saturday include:
10 a.m-1 p.m.: Cooking demonstrations by local restaurants and farmers as part of Lowcountry Local First: Plow to Chow.
9 a.m.-noon.: The sixth annual Push-Up & Up Challenge, a push-up teams competition that supports programs in dropout prevention and benefits Communities in Schools.
10 a.m.-2 p.m.: Musical entertainment by YeeHaw Junction.
Unveiling of the official 2013 Charleston Farmers Market Poster.

In one of the only U.S. clinical trials testing the medicinal properties of inhaled Cannabis sativa, results confirmed that pot was effective in reducing muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis and pain caused by certain neurological injuries or illnesses. The trial, sponsored by the California-funded Center for Medical Cannabis Research at the University of California, San Diego, enrolled participants suffering from multiple sclerosis, AIDS, or diabetes along with healthy volunteers injected with a chili pepper substance to induce pain. They were randomly assigned to receive cigarettes filled with marijuana.
The results were comparable to the percentage of people who experience relief after taking other pain medications. "This is the first step in approaching the [FDA], which has invested absolutely nothing in providing scientific data to resolve the debate," said state Senator Mark Leno (D. San Francisco).
The U.S. Government spent heavily on the first approved cannabis-based drug, Marinol®, back in 1985. The drug was developed by Unimed, now a subsidiary of Solvay Pharmaceuticals. FDA also approved Valeant Pharmaceuticals' Cesamet the same year. Both drugs, however, are synthetic versions of one active marijuana constituent, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (ΔTHC.)
The FDA sanctioned Marinol to treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in patients who do not respond adequately to conventional medications as well as appetite loss associated with weight loss in AIDS patients. Cesamet, developed as an antiemetic and an adjunct analgesic for neuropathic pain, was not marketed in the U.S. until 2006. It is also approved for use in treatment of anorexia and weight loss in patients with AIDS.
The distinction between inhaled Cannabis sativa and an approved pharmaceutical hinged, at the time of the drugs' approval, on separating the psychoactive properties of some of marijuana's constituents and the medicinal properties of others. A 1999 report commissioned by the The White House Office of National Drug Control stated that "marijuana is not a completely benign substance. It is a powerful drug with a variety of effects.
"However, the harmful effects to individuals from the perspective of possible medical use of marijuana are not necessarily the same as the harmful physical effects of drug abuse. Although marijuana smoke delivers THC and other cannabinoids to the body, it also delivers harmful substances, including most of those found in tobacco smoke. In addition, plants contain a variable mixture of biologically active compounds and cannot be expected to provide a precisely defined drug effect."
The report went on to conclude that "the future of cannabinoid drugs lies not in smoked marijuana but in chemically defined drugs that act on the cannabinoid systems that are a natural component of human physiology." The White House commissioned the 267-page report shortly after voters in California passed the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, which legalized the medical use of cannabis under state law.
And on March 18 of this year, GW Pharmaceuticals said that Sativex, its oral mucosal cannabinoid spray, should be approved in the U.K. and Spain soon. Both countries concluded that there are no major quality, safety, or efficacy issues remaining to be resolved. Details about final wording on the patient information leaflet is reportedly all that is left to be ironed out.
A few days later, the company announced Phase IIb results of Sativex in patients with advanced cancer who experience inadequate analgesia during optimized chronic opioid therapy. The trial recruited a total of 360 patients in 14 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, and South Africa and evaluated three dose ranges. Sativex produced statistically significant differences from placebo in pain scores, supporting advancement into Phase III, according to the company.
The emergence of public companies pursuing the development of legalized cannabis products may provide a new crop of useful drugs. On March 24, 2009, Medical Marijuana became the first public corporation solely based on medical marijuana. Bruce Perlowin, the company's CEO, established the firm as a step toward legitimizing the industry after decades of advocating the benefits of legalizing medical marijuana.
Richard Cowan, Cannabis Science's CFO, noted that the segment got another boost on May 24 of this year when 15 members of Congress led by U.S. Representative Barney Frank (D. MA) urged the Treasury Department to set rules that encourage banks to provide financial services to medical marijuana clinics, which they consider lawful businesses. "This is just one more important step toward a realistic federal policy on medical marijuana," Cowan noted.
A policy that would assure banks that they won't be targeted for doing business with companies that distribute medical marijuana, would definitely benefit Cannabis Sciences as it buys up experienced growers. On May 24, the company acquired RockBrook, a fully licensed dispensary providing patients in Colorado with medical marijuana as well an experienced grower of medical cannabis in accordance with state laws.
Cannabis Science used to be Gulf Onshore and changed its name after acquiring Cannex Therapeutics. The company is developing products both with and without psychoactive properties to treat disease and the symptoms of disease as well as for general health maintenance. It is looking to partner IND filing and clinical development.
Cannabis Science plans to develop a whole cannabis extract lozenge as its first pharmaceutical product. Initial findings from informal human trials using the whole-cannabis extract demonstrated that it has the capacity to enhance rapid onset pain relief through oral mucosal absorption. The lozenge is a part of the assets and know-how acquired through Cannex.
On June 1, the company said that it was working toward picking up a private company that owned complementary patented intellectual property for specific clinical-stage cannabinoid products and uses.
"It seems inevitable that at least for some period of time there will co-exist two distribution pathways for this medicine," noted Lester Grinspoon, M.D., emeritus professor of psychiatry at Harvard and long-time advocate for the legalization of marijuana, "first, the conventional model of modern allopathic medicine through pharmacy-filled prescriptions for FDA-approved medicines, and second, a model closer to the distribution of alternative and herbal medicines, where there is little if any quality or quantity control. Either way, growing numbers of people will become familiar with cannabis and its derivative products."
As individual U.S. states move toward either legalization of marijuana or approval of its medical use, the new corporate voices are adding to the pro-pot choir. These companies can potentially help advance the political debate by providing the long-needed clinical trials to validate specific medical applications of Cannabis sativa and its constituent compounds.
Separating psychoactive from medicinal properties through "pharmaceuticalization" of marijuana may be unrealistic. According to NIH, Cesamet "has complex effects on the central nervous system. Its effects on the mental state (i.e., "inner mental life") are similar to those of cannabis. Subjects given Cesamet may experience changes in mood (euphoria, detachment, depression, anxiety, panic, paranoia), decrements in cognitive performance and memory, a decreased ability to control drives and impulses, and alterations in the experience of reality (e.g., distortions in the perception of objects and the sense of time and hallucinations."
At least 66 other cannabinoids are also present in cannabis, including cannabidiol, cannabinol, and tetrahydrocannabivarin, which are believed to result in different effects than those of THC alone. Apart from significant difficulties associated with titrating appropriate effective doses, inhaling smoke—which can be avoided through marijuana vaporization—and psychoactive effects, the whole weed may remain the real deal.

Gosset's reputation for excellence starts on the vines. Its champagnes are composed almost entirely of grapes from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. Unlike most champagne producers, this illustrious wine house purposely avoids malolactic fermentation and always performs riddling and disgorging of prestige cuvées and large-format bottles by hand. Gosset champagnes are made with infinite care and kept in dark cellars for at least three years – and up to five for vintage and prestige cuvées – before release.
Gosset's inimitable style – powerful and full-bodied, of unrivaled richness and staying power – has changed little over the centuries. Once a favorite of the kings and queens of France, it is now a fixture on the wine lists of some of the most lauded restaurants in the world, recognized by expert sommeliers for its exceptional capacity to enhance a wide range of cuisine.
Gosset's legacy is today in the safekeeping of the Cointreau family, who also owns and manages the highly regarded Cognac Frapin. While other champagne houses are handing over the reigns to large corporations, the members of this family are personally involved in the winemaking practices that have, over 425 years, made Gosset the ultimate name in champagne. In 2009, the family announced the acquisition of a new property in the heart of Epernay, which, with space for up to 2.5 million bottles, will serve as an extension to its production facilities in Aÿ.

Members of the Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission will hold hearings on Oahu and Maui this month to hear public input on how to preserve a large, flat, petroglyph-inscribed boulder perched at the edge of an eroding gully on Kahoolawe.
The rock is designated as feature "BU" on the island, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Located along a severely eroded gulch on the hardpan area of southeast Kahoolawe, the rock also is known as "Loa'a" or "Pokaneloa," according to an announcement from the commission.
The 9-by-12-foot boulder may have been used by ancient Hawaiians as a birthing site, a navigation point or to track the movements of the sun across the sky, said Kuiokalani Gapero, the commission's cultural resource project coordinator.

Public input will be sought this month on the best way to preserve this large, flat, petroglyph-inscribed boulder on the edge of a gully in southeast Kahoolawe. The boulder may have been used by Native Hawaiians as a birthing site, a navigation point or as a way to track movements of the sun.
Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission photo
The Maui meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 20 at Pomaikai Elementary School in Kahului.
The stone was first documented in an archaeological study of the site in 1993, and it was studied in 2002, 2008 and 2009, said Gapero, who provided some citations from studies.
Those included:
* Research conducted by members of the Edith Kanaka'ole Foundation identified Pokaneloa as a culmination of the Kane (north) and Kanaloa (south) suns. A study determined that one function of Pokaneloa was to measure the curvature of the Earth as it relates to the sun.
"Data collection to determine this function included placing a long upright stick directly west of the pohaku and, as the sun sets, record the measurement in time and distance in inches on the poho of Loa'a as the shadow moves from one side to the other," a study said.
* Historian Rubellite Kawena Johnson said the A'a in Lo-A'a "is Sirius in the southeast, the star which marks the parallel of latitude which (is) at the place where navigators would aim their canoe, as from Hawai'i to Tahiti, which marks therefore the point overhead when the sailor is beneath Sirius, and which is also used when sailing east/west to mark the azimuth, or point of rising when seen, both in the morning before sunrise (east) or after sunset (west) to target that point, which astronomers also call 'right ascension,' '' or longitude.
* Edward Stasack, a former art professor at the University of Hawaii, wrote that the "Loa'a stone was unique in that it contained the only poho (usually called cupules in the rock art jargon) at this site, and, in fact, the only presently known poho on the island. In current Hawaiian rock art and archaeology terminology, poho is the term now generally accepted for the hollow, or pit, in stone or lava that functioned as a receptacle for the navel stump, piko, of a newborn. (There's documentation) that support the practice of placing the child's piko in a poho at carefully chosen, often sacred places accompanied by prayers for the welfare of the child."
Gapero said he expects the commission to consider public input on what to do with the stone and make a decision on Oct. 25.
The archaeological reports are online at kahoolawe.hawaii.gov/pokaneloa.shtml.

LINCOLN, Neb. - It's Penn State versus Nebraska, of course there would be controversy.
That's just how things have gone throughout the rivalry between two of college football's traditional powers.
A costly and questionable fumble in the fourth quarter hurt the Nittany Lions on Saturday, but the players acknowledged afterward that's not the reason they lost the game, 32-23, to the No. 18 Cornhuskers before 85,527 fans at Memorial Stadium.
Article Video
"You can't leave the game in the referees' hands, and we all know that. ... That's just on us, man," PSU cornerback Stephon Morris said.
The Lions (6-4, 4-2 Big Ten) played a strong first half and appeared to be in control up 20-6 at the break. That lead vanished in a hurry in the third quarter, though, as Nebraska (8-2, 5-1) scored two quick TDs to pull even.
Penn State regrouped with a field goal for a 23-20 edge, then Nebraska found the end zone with 10:57 to play for its first lead, 27-23.
Then came the play that had Penn State fans, not to mention quarterback Matt McGloin, all fired up.
The Lions took over at their own 25 with 10:57 left, got a 17-yard run by Zach Zwinak and a 38-yard pass from McGloin to Allen Robinson down to the Nebraska 17. Penn State got a break on third-and-6 from the 13 when McGloin was sacked and the Cornhuskers' Eric Martin was flagged for a face mask.
That gave PSU first-and-goal at the 7, and on second down from the 3, McGloin dumped off a pass to Matt Lehman.
The big tight end tried to fight his way through several defenders into the end zone, and as he attempted to stretch the ball over the goal line, it was ripped out of his hands and ruled a fumble on the field. Nebraska's Daimion Stafford recovered in the end zone for a momentum-changing touchback.
The play was reviewed, though, and TV replays appeared to show the ball crossing the goal line for a touchdown before the fumble.
But the replay officials didn't see it that way.
The fumble call stood, Penn State fans erupted with outrage on Twitter and the Lions didn't threaten the rest of the way, even though there was still 7:39 left to play.
"I felt like it was over the goal line but ... they didn't have enough evidence to reverse it," Lions coach Bill O'Brien said.
Big Ten official John O'Neill gave this explanation after the game: "The ruling on the field was it was a fumble short of the goal line. It went to replay, and the replay official said the play stood, based on the views he had. It's ultimately his decision."
ABC broadcasters Sean McDonough and Chris Spielman both said on the air they thought it was a touchdown.
Mike Pereira, former vice president of officiating for the NFL, tweeted, "It's a close play in PSU/NEB but if it was me I would've reversed it to a touchdown. Seems to have control when the ball broke the plane."
Nebraska went three-and-out on the ensuing series, then punter Brett Maher delivered one of the game's biggest plays when he booted a 69-yard kick down to the PSU 2.
McGloin was flagged for intentional grounding from the end zone on the Lions' next series, resulting in a safety that gave Nebraska a 29-23 lead with 5:02 to go.
Penn State got one more shot, taking over at its 20 with 3:44 left, but went four-and-out as McGloin threw four incompletions. Nebraska ran three plays and got a 33-yard field goal from Maher with 23 seconds left to seal it.
"We had opportunities to win," Morris said. "We should have won. That was a game that we should have won. Could have played better."
|McGloin vs. Top 25
|Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin is now 1-6 as a starter against teams ranked in the AP Top 25. The breakdown:
|Ohio State
|Michigan State
|Ohio State
|Note: Michigan was 25th in the coaches poll but not ranked in the AP poll when PSU beat the Wolverines, 41-31, in 2010.
The controversial call on the fumble might dominate the discussion about the game, but as Morris and others said, the Lions had plenty of other opportunities to win that had nothing to do with that call.
"I think there was a lot more to it," Robinson said. "You can't go to one play in the whole second half and say that won or lost the game. They were in the same situation; they fumbled on the goal line. So you can't say that that lost the game. [Our offense] got off to a real slow start in the third quarter, and our defense stayed on the field a lot. So I think that was a big part in the second half."
Nebraska rolled up 438 yards of offense, rushed for 267 yards and easily won the time of possession (34:19 to 25:41). Most importantly, the Cornhuskers scored 26 points in the second half and held Penn State to three.
Furthermore, Zach Zwinak ran for a career-high 141 yards and a 50-yard TD, but he also lost a fumble at the Nebraska 5. McGloin was just 18-of-37 and threw a costly interception on PSU's third offensive play of the second half - just like in the loss to Ohio State - and Nebraska returned it to the Lions' 4 to set up a tying touchdown. Penn State also was flagged eight times for 80 yards.
So there was plenty of blame to go around, not just for the refs.
"Losing's a terrible feeling," O'Brien said. "It's miserable. It's absolutely miserable. It's like part of you dies."
Penn State 7, Nebraska 0: Matt McGloin tossed a 23-yard pass to Brandon Moseby-Felder to convert a third-and-9, and on the next play, Zach Zwinak busted free up the middle for a 50-yard TD with 13:14 left in the quarter.
Penn State 7, Nebraska 3: The Cornhuskers kept the ball for more than six minutes on their first drive, doing most of their damage on the ground with running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Taylor Martinez. On third-and-18 from the PSU 36, Martinez fired a strike down the middle for 30 yards to Jamal Turner to set up first-and-goal at the 6. The Huskers went backwards on three straight running plays as the PSU defense got tough, and Brett Maher kicked a 32-yard field goal with 6:17 to go in the quarter.
Penn State 7, Nebraska 6: The Lions were on the verge of scoring, but Zwinak fumbled at the Nebraska 5 late in the first quarter. The Huskers took over at the 6 and got a 33-yard run from Abdullah on the first play. They kept in on the ground for most of their 12-play, 84-yard drive, which got to first-and-goal at the 8. The Lions came up big on defense once again, though, stifling Nebraska and forcing Maher to kick a 27-yard field goal with 12:29 left in the half.
Penn State 10, Nebraska 6: The Lions' defense held Nebraska deep in its own territory and forced a punt into the wind, and Jesse Della Valle returned it to the Husker 36. McGloin hit Allen Robinson for a 10-yard gain to the 23, and a personal foul penalty on Nebraska set up first-and-10 at the 11. The Lions couldn't do anything after that and settled for a 27-yard field goal from Sam Ficken with 6:58 to go in the half.
Penn State 17, Nebraska 6: A huge swing on special teams gave PSU the ball in scoring territory. Huskers return man Tim Marlowe muffed a punt, and Mike Hull recovered for the Lions at the Nebraska 31. McGloin hit Robinson on a 9-yard pass to convert a third-and-7, putting PSU at the 19. McGloin later hit tight end Jesse James in the right flat that went for an 11-yard TD with 2:42 left in the half.
Penn State 20, Nebraska 6: A 31-yard screen pass from McGloin to Zwinak put the Lions in position to score again. That moved PSU to the Nebraska 25, and after Zwinak gained 9 yards on two carries, PSU eventually was in a fourth-and-1 at the 16. McGloin converted on a sneak, but the Lions were called for a false start penalty. Bill O'Brien decided to let Sam Ficken attempt a 38-yard field goal, and he drilled it with 1:08 to go in the half.
Penn State 20, Nebraska 13: The Huskers took the second-half kickoff and quickly got back in the game with a 75-yard TD drive. They got a huge break when, from the PSU 46, a pass from Martinez was tipped by linebacker Michael Mauti and bounced right to Kenny Bell for a 22-yard pickup to the 24. Martinez turned in a highlight-reel 21-yard run down to the 1, and Imani Cross busted in on the next play with 11:48 left in the quarter.
Penn State 20, Nebraska 20: McGloin threw an interception from his own 15, picked off by Daimion Stafford, who returned it to the 4. Cross scored from the 2 two plays later to tie it with 9:37 to go in the quarter.
Penn State 23, Nebraska 20: The Lions came right back to regain the momentum, with Zwinak running hard on several carries, including a 20-yard gain to the Nebraska 18. The drive stalled, and Ficken nailed a 35-yard field goal to reclaim the lead with 6:01 to go in the quarter.
Nebraska 27, Penn State 23: The Huskers took their first lead when Taylor Martinez hit Jamal Turner for a 5-yard TD with 10:57 to play. Nebraska got a huge 56-yard pass play from Martinez to tight end KC Hyland, who beat linebacker Gerald Hodges downfield in coverage and rumbled all the way to the PSU 10 to set up the TD three plays later.
Nebraska 29, Penn State 23: A controversial call on a fumble by PSU tight end Matt Lehman prevented the Lions from taking the lead midway through the quarter. The Huskers then recorded a safety when McGloin was called for intentional grounding from the end zone with 5:02 to go.
Nebraska 32, Penn State 23: Maher kicked a 33-yard field goal with 23 seconds left to seal the win.

With great anticipation, local shrimpers are waiting on the opening date so they can hit the waters in hopes for a great catch. However, word is the shrimping season now won't open until June. This is a great setback for those still hanging on in the struggling industry.
And worse, it has been announced that Wando Shrimp Company is closing its doors.
What this means is anyone's guess. What is known is that the boats tied up at those docks may have to move.
In 1949 Jeffrey Phelning started Wando Shrimp Company because he wanted to own a shrimp dock, his daughter and now owner, Lisa Sigman said.
When he passed away in 1995, he turned the business over to Lisa and her husband Chuck Sigman.
Through the years the company has carried all types of seafood purchased from local boats and caught by Chuck who is himself a commercial fisherman.
But the couple, and their longtime employee Hambone is ready to retire. "We are not going to lease the building," Lisa said. "We don't know what we're going to do with it.
"The boats will stay and probably pay dockage. But that will be left up to them," she added.
The shrimp boat captains there have all been given notice. She said that Wando Shrimp Company will close its doors within the next week or two, when their fish inventory has sold out.
Hambone started working for Phelning when he was just 16. Lisa, a former educator, worked there on weekends and during the summer.
"I thank all of our customers for their support and business. I will miss them and Hambone will miss them too. So will my husband. It is sad," she said, "but that is the way of life."
As for Wayne Magwood, a fourth generation shrimper, he has been out of state working another job.
And while gone, his nephew Rocky Magwood's shrimp boat sank in Shem Creek.
Wayne owns the shrimp boat Winds of Fortune. That boat will now be operated jointly between Wayne and Rocky and is being prepared for the season and their seasonal debut at the annual Blessing of the Fleet Festival.
And while uncertainty looms on this industry, one bright spot is the year-old nonprofit Shem Creek Fisheries.
It was started by Grace Edwards, wife of Capt. Tommy Edwards who runs Miss Judy Too.
"We banded together as an organization to 'Save the Fleet' on Shem Creek. We hope to provide opportunities to help out our fellow brethren on the creek along with their families and to educate the public about fresh local seafood. Our overall goal is to protect the heritage of our fishing village. Over the years, docks have been replaced by waterfront houses and restaurants which has slowly dwindled down boats along the creek," she said.
In addition, Shem Creek Fisheries' primary function is to raise funds to help out the dock workers, the employees, the crews and the captains of the boats. "If they have someone in the family with a sickness, or their boat burns or sinks, we can help," Edwards said.
"We've helped bury three people. We've raised money to buy medicines, oxygen, chemotherapy medicines. When a boat sunk recently we raised $2,800 to help with expenses."
All this was done by having fundraisers to garner the money. "We're trying to get the town to help us. They said they would but they haven't," Edwards said.
"The $500 is something. But that will only pay for the fuel to be in the Blessing of the Fleet."
More help is needed, she explained. According to Mount Pleasant Town Councilman Elton Carrier, Shem Creek Fisheries was loosely organized when they sought financial help from the town. He said it is wonderful that they just got their 501 (c)3 and that perhaps now they can do better promoting their mission and their events to help garner public awareness.
He added that the Blessing of the Fleet charitable recipients are decided well in advance of the event by a special committee. This year's recipient is East Cooper Community Outreach and the Charleston Port and Seafarer's Society. Each trawler that participates receives $500 as a fuel expense.
"The Town of Mount Pleasant said they would help us through the Blessing of the Fleet fund to keep the livelihood going - but we had to form a nonprofit. We've done that and now this year they voted not give us more than $500 per boat and that goes only to the boats that participate in the Blessing of the Fleet," she said.
According to Mount Pleasant Mayor Linda Page, the Town of Mount Pleasant Blessing of the Fleet was started 27 years ago by Shem Creek shrimpers as a way for them to give back to the community and for many years all proceeds benefitted local nonprofits. From 2005 to 2011, portions of the festival proceeds were given to the South Carolina Shrimpers Association to assist with its "buy local shrimp" marketing campaign for the benefit of all fishermen in our region.
In 2011, Shem Creek fishermen began the process of forming their own nonprofit. "Unfortunately, despite numerous efforts by the town on behalf of Shem Creek Fisheries to expedite its IRS paperwork, the organization's Federal 501(c)3 designation was not granted in time for the town to legally be allowed to issue funds to the group for the 2012 festival," Nicole Harvey, Special Events Planner, Community Development and Tourism for the Town of Mount Pleasant explained.
"It was unclear whether the issue would be resolved in time for the 2013 festival, so the town investigated other ways it could directly support our Shem Creek fishing industry. Modeled after a couple of other southeastern shrimp festivals, the Town decided to offer captains a participation fee of $500, which is well above what other seafood festivals offer. In 2013, compensation of $500 was given to each of the 10 participating boat captains to be used however they determined individually," Harvey added.
Shem Creek Fisheries is hosting a t-shirt fundraiser to raise money and another big function at Goldbug with a reverse raffle.
"This may be the last blessing of the fleet," Edwards said. "There are only two boats as of now that are functioning. Everyone thinks they're supporting us by going to the Blessing of the Fleet but we don't see a dime of the money."
"The Blessing of the Fleet was started by the Magwoods in order to help other non-profits but over last ten years it is changed and now we need the help," Edwards said.
If anyone would like to make a donation to the Shem Creek Fisheries, contact Grace Edwards at email@example.com or mail a check to 202 Freeman St., Mount Pleasant, South Carolina 29464.

Jenny McCarthy, who has been spending a lot of time there with her Chicago Bears beau Brian Urlacher, skipped the festival itself, but took part in some festivities, sans her man.
Arriving at the Gilt City Better than Backstage rooftop brunch, the Playboy cover girl – clad in a pair of M2F Brand Denims and sky high platform shoes – nibbled on veggies and dip, and took in the skyline.
"She looked very happy and seemed really excited to meet Chicagoans at the party," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Also on hand during the weekend was Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul, who went so far as to snap a shot of himself at one show, surrounded by a huge group of concert fans.
"At the show, he was with his fiancée," a source tells PEOPLE. "They were on stage and hanging out backstage, watching Miike Snow with [a large group]. He was the photographer of the group, taking a bunch of shots from his HTC One phone."
The weekend was apparently a win for Paul, who Tweeted, "Dear Lalapalooza (sic), I love you. Sincerely, Me."
True Blood hunk Joe Manganiello had dinner in the city's popular restaurant, Paris Club, where he munched on lobster crostini, lamb meatballs and filet mignon, while sipping on nothing but hot tea.
"He tried to remain under the radar," a source tells PEOPLE, adding that he failed to go unrecognized and had women pointing at him.
The big weekend brought out other couples.
David Arquette, who has apparently reunited with on-again gal pal Christina McLarty, headed to brunch at Hub 51 with his lady love before they made their way to the festival.
Managing to go seemingly unnoticed, a source says the couple was "certainly not shying away from showing affection."
Another pair packing on the PDA was Kelly Osbourne and new beau Matthew Mosshart.
Heading to the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago for the Rock the Vote Nights party, the lovey-dovey duo continuously snuck in kisses.
"He knew people were looking," an onlooker says. "But he didn't care. He just kept leaning in for some PDA."
After taking goofy pictures together at the Ck One-sponsored bash, the twosome met up with Kelly's brother Jack. According to the insider, Kelly was "happy to take photos with adoring fans."

The Incline football team held Pershing County to fewer points in last Friday's opening-round playoff game than in the teams' regular-season finale.
But on the other side of the ball, the Highlanders failed to score at all, and the top-seeded hosts rolled to a 44-0 win. Pershing County won 50-6 the previous week.
The Mustangs (9-1) led 8-0 after one quarter before exploding for 23 in the second quarter to take a 31-0 lead into the half. They added six points in the third and seven in the fourth.
The Highlanders struggled to move the ball against Pershing County's solid defense, as they managed only 83 yards of total offense - 42 through the air and 41 on the ground.
Senior fullback Sean Herrera rushed for 22 yards on 12 attempts, and Jack Clouthier added 19 yards on eight rushes. Quarterbacks Christian Biscotti was 4-of-9 for 20 yards and Jack Clouthier 2-of-4 for 22 yards.
Incline finished the year 6-4 overall.

… and they lived Happily Ever After <3
Last year, our WG team met an amazing couple – Bobbie and Dave, who wanted to plan an intimate autumn wedding. WG Planner, Catriona, was up for the challenge of helping Bobbie create a picture-perfect Happily Ever After on a budget… and the results were incredible!
Bobbie had a gorgeous Autumn Harvest-inspired, country-rustic wedding vision. She wanted her nearest and dearest to experience all things Fall-elegant, from mulled apple cider to Vintage + Harvest inspired decor in an intimate, welcoming venue. Catriona helped Bobbie find Navy Hall in Niagara On The Lake – a DIY wedding venue that boasts some serious charm on a budget.
From custom-designed Save-The-Date wedding maps (made by the super-talented NattyMichelle on Etsy)…..
… to hand-made itinerary chalkboards….
… Bobbie spared no decor detail (she even planned to burn down the gorgeous array of pillar candles in the Navy Hall fireplace so they looked more rustic and authentic!)
While we splurged on renting elegant chiavari chairs from Simply Beautiful Decor, money was saved by creating a DIY backdrop (using Ikea curtains), making DIY bunting banners, and providing the florist (super-talented Melanie from Lush) with mason jars and various country-inspired containers for her spectacular creations.
Bobbie and Dave opted for an indoor ceremony to avoid any weather complications (always a key factor in a Fall wedding!) and guests enjoyed a beautiful personalized ceremony delivered by Sheldon Kofsky of Niagara Region Weddings.
The stunning bride walked down the aisle on her own, meeting her handsome groom half-way down the aisle. The two walked to front of the ceremony together to symbolize the joint commitment they were making to enter into marriage.
Immediately following the ceremony, guests enjoyed hot apple cider and hors d'oeuvres provided by the fabulous catering by David Glover – the Highland Chef. David also hand-crafted the evening's dinner menu, complete with BBQ'd ribs, slow-roasted beef, and delicious fixings.
A DIY dessert table was a lovely treat following the succulent meal, and led guests into an early evening of dancing and celebration of love, laughter, and Happily Ever After.
Details of the wedding day were captured by Charity Swords Photography, and here are some of her favourites!
A HUGE thank-you goes out to WG planner + coordinator, Catriona, for being alongside Bobbie and Dave every step of the planning way. Here's to wishing this fabulous bride and groom the picture-perfect ending to their beautiful beginning. Congratulations!!

Maulana Karenga, the founder of Kwanzaa, is scheduled this week to make an appearance in Buffalo to mark the city's annual observance of the holiday, which traditionally begins on the day after Christmas and runs through New Year's Day.
Kwanzaa, a Swahili word, is a nonreligious holiday that is observed over seven days, with each day devoted to one of seven guiding principles: umoja, or unity; kujichagulia, or self-determination; ujima, or collective work and responsibility; ujamaa, or cooperative economics; nia, or purpose; kuumba, or creativity; and imani, or faith. All are based on values prevalent in cultures throughout Africa.
At each of the venues hosting activities over the first six nights of Kwanzaa, an African Marketplace of local vendors will be featured as part of the festivities.
The opening night celebration kicks off at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Buffalo Academy of the Visual and Performing Arts, 450 Masten Ave., and will feature performances by Healing Hands, a local troupe of percussionists and dancers, and Tradition Keepers: Black Storytellers of Western New York.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, the festivities move to the Buffalo Museum of Science, 1020 Humboldt Parkway, where Karenga will deliver the founder's message, as he has done nearly every year in Buffalo since the 1970s. The former University of California, Long Beach, professor first launched the African cultural holiday in 1966. Along with Karenga, the African-American Cultural Center Dancers and Drummers are scheduled to appear.
Dr. Ma'at E. Lewis, a licensed clinical psychologist who practices in New York City, will be the keynote speaker for the third night of Kwanzaa activities, which are scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Friday in the Edward Saunders Community Center, 2777 Bailey Ave. Scheduled to perform are the Daughters of Creative Sound, Njozi Poets and Drea D'Nur.
A special Children's celebration of Kwanzaa is planned from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the Delavan-Grider Community Center, 877 E. Delavan Ave. Guest performers include Watoto from the Nile, the Crusaders Drill Team and MGT Vanguard.
An evening program will begin at 7 p.m. in the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library, 1424 Jefferson Ave., and will feature a performance by Pappi Martin and the Love Supreme Orchestra, a panel discussion hosted by the Black Chamber of Commerce of Western New York, and poetry by Taharka Odinga.
Nutritionist Dr. Alim Muhammad of the Nation of Islam will be the keynote speaker for the fifth night of Kwanzaa. The program starts at 7 p.m. Sunday in the Delavan-Grider Community Center, and will feature a performance by the Old School B-Boys and poetry by Seku Ba.
A community potluck meal, or the Karamu Feast, will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. New Year's Eve in the Pratt-Willert Community Center, 422 Pratt St. Participants are encouraged to bring a dish to share. An open-mic night is also planned.
The final day of Kwanzaa on New Year's Day is traditionally reserved for at-home celebrations. No public celebrations are scheduled that day.

Misfit's CEO on Pebble Deal: 'Why Cling to a Dying Business?'
In another sign that the shine is coming off the much-ballyhooed wearable hardware market, health-tracking device maker Misfit is announcing today that its software and its iOS app will be compatible with the smartwatch from competitor Pebble.
Pebble says the partnership is part of its longstanding strategy to make its watch a dynamic tool for those who like to monitor fitness and health metrics. But for Misfit, the move is partially influenced by the anticipation of Apple's rumored plan to release a smartwatch later this year. The company's fitness tracker, called Shine, is sold in Apple stores, which makes the device particularly vulnerable.
"If you buy one of these [Apple] devices you're not going to buy an activity tracker," says Sonny Vu, Misfit's chief executive, adding that he predicts Android-powered watches will undo the fitness bracelet market. "Why should we cling on to a dying a business?"
Vu wouldn't disclose the financial arrangement made with Pebble. But he said his company isn't focused on making money through licensing its software. Instead, Misfit wants to collect as much lifestyle and fitness data as possible to help it determine which other non-wearable, tech-enabled products it should invest in developing.
"What we are after is data," Vu says. "Where we get the data from–our tracker or another–we don't care."
Vu says Misfit will continue to sell its Shine device, a small disc that can be attached to a watchband, worn as a necklace or placed in a sock. Misfit has sold more than 300,000 units, Vu says, and first started shipping the device in July 2013 to supporters on crowdfunding site Indiegogo. The company is backed by more than $20 million in venture capital.
Pebble has made its motion-sensing data available to third-party app developers for about a year, says company spokeswoman Myriam Joire. But she says none of the apps have Misfit's engineering savvy and brand recognition. "Misfit has a phenomenal experience in taking motion data in finding useful and meaningful analysis in it," she says. She likened the partnership to deals with other companies like Yelp, which provides its listing information to Pebble watch wearers.

"Unfortunately for us, Pavel extended his contract with Detroit," Fedorov told Russian news outlet R-Sport. "I had a meeting with him a few days before the signing.
"We had the chance to get Pavel in a year's time, but as a person who knows what the NHL is all about, I understand perfectly well why he did what he did."

I made one hand larger than the other. Not on purpose, I've actually tried to convince myself that they're fine this way (but they're not) and hopefully I'll rip out the too big one and knit it all over again. Even though the more I wear them I kind of don't notice all that much.
The days are so long, and the piles are so high, and my energy is so, not. I tease myself about new ideas and am reminded by the glare of everything else that still and will always need to be done, and so.
Knowing better, yet so frustrated that I won't even allow myself the pursuit -of so many things, stumbling upon their purpose. And shame for how behind I am on everything that came before. "Focus on something more motherly, more Christ-like," more not where your heart bows even though you can hear your own pulse tell you to follow that bend.
And you couldn't fathom your own child struggling with a similar voice. You can do anything you can do anything you dream!
But I really have to locate the source of that wet dog smell. And I herd and I feather and I do feel fulfilled and inspired and good for a little while again.

British people love hunting only one thing more than foxes - free WiFi hotspots.
Such is our annoyance that our American cousins can find them all over the place, and our contempt for the "please enter your credit details for an hour's access!" messages, that all but the busiest company-credit-card-toting suits actually use such services.
Besides, who wants to get their big, creaky laptop out in the middle of a city anyway?
Well, with the move to smaller sub-notebooks such as the Asus Eee PC, HP Mini-Note and the MSI Wind, there's now a much more realistic demand for internet access on the move.
Mobile broadband
Over the last 12 months, mobile network providers like 3, T-Mobile and O2 have woken up to this. And equipped with their new HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access)-enabled mobile phone masts, they're offering 'mobile broadband' on your PC for a monthly fee.
3 Mobile Broadband offers a solid selection of data packages: £15 a month will get you 3GB of downloads - the same offer as both Vodafone and Orange - whereas £25 will get you a whopping 7GB, beating the competition in the number of gigabytes offered.
There's also a £10 option for 1GB, though this doesn't represent such good value for money - and a number of 'Pay As You Go' options, meaning you're not fixed into a contract and just top up on Gigabytes when you're hitting the road.
Half-price option
The deal gets exactly twice as tantalising if you're already a 3 mobile customer; you'll get the contract packages for half price for the duration of the contract.
This offer is so strong that if you're not a heavy internet user and don't need the speed, it may well work out cheaper to use 3 Mobile Broadband instead of a home broadband connection.
The modem resembles an oversized USB memory stick, and while there are various colours and sizes available, there's no ExpressCard option - so the modem needs to be removed after each use.
The various 'dongles' on offer are all manufactured by Huawei, a company that currently appears to be the leading supplier of USB modems. Vodafone, O2 and Orange all use its devices for their respective mobile internet packages.
For once, this kit really is Plug-and-Play. All you get in the box is the dongle and a few throwaway leaflets - a tiny memory chip inside the dongle stores all the software and drivers required, and this is installed automatically upon first insertion.
Within a minute of plugging the USB modem in, and once you've inserted your 3 SIM card into the slot next to the USB connector, you're confronted with a 3-branded dialogue box and a large 'connect' button. Information is provided such as the speed you're getting and the best speed reached this session.
It's easily overlooked, but a mobile phone's Bluetooth connection's top speed is around 2MBps. For the first time, this becomes a bottleneck when in HSDPA-enabled areas, and connecting to 3's data network using the USB dongle was unmistakably faster than when connected to an HSDPA-enabled mobile phone via Bluetooth.
Once connected, speeds were impressive, even far away from London. In the three major cities we visited during the course of this review, we achieved an HSDPA connection with at least 1.5MBps - often getting over 3MBps.
High-speed web access
At top speed, pages loaded so fast and files downloaded so quickly that our experience was no different from using the notebook with our usual office WiFi connection - and that's an impressive feat.
While we had no issues with the service itself at all, we were slightly concerned with how hot our modem got after even a short time connected; it was uncomfortable to handle after only ten minutes of use. Heat means wasted energy, and this was reflected in the drop in our notebook's battery life.
Mobile broadband may well be finally here. It's fast, affordable and 3's 3G and HSDPA coverage is impressive.
Whether you've got an ultra-portable notebook that's missing its internet when out and about, or just want an alternative to home broadband for your desktop PC, 3 Mobile Broadband is a solid option.

"Like every mother, my wish – every birthday – is for my children to stay healthy [and] for my family to remain healthy, so I will continue that," Jolie tells the Associated Press in Shanghai, China, where she was promoting her new film, Maleficent.
And Jolie's fiancé, Brad Pitt, and three of their six children were all there to support her. They took in the city's sights, enjoyed the local food and attended a dim sum class.
"We love Chinese food anyway, so now we get to have authentic Chinese food," she said. "They are having a wonderful time. Vivienne asked me not to go home today."
Jolie also praised Pitt's handling of his attack by former Ukranian journalist Vitalii Sediuk during the film's Hollywood premiere. She told reporters his reaction was "perfect" and called him "a strong man."
"Most fans are just wonderful. We've had a wonderful experience over the years, and we're very grateful for their support, and [the attack] will not change the way we behave," she said.

Two children who went missing in Daytona Beach on Tuesday were found safe, asleep in a car behind the house where they were last seen.
Police say the children, who are friends, went missing from a home on Minerva Road at 1 p.m.
"(The mother) noticed that they were there maybe around 1 p.m., and the door was locked, and they were playing near the door, and she came back maybe 10 or 15 minutes later, and the door was open, and the kids were gone," said Daytona Beach Police Chief spokesman Jimmie Flynt.
The children were found about 2:45 p.m., just as authorities were preparing to issue an Amber Alert.
They were each tucked in front of the driver and passenger seats, under the dashboard. Police did not know if they were there the whole time.
Air support and bloodhounds were called in to help in the search.

ELLICOTTVILLE – An Irving woman was briefly jailed Sunday when Cattaraugus County sheriff's deputies charged her with unruly behavior after they were called to the Tamarak Club.
Deputies arrived at the club about 4 a.m., after they were called to deal with an unruly patron.
Carole L. Thompson, 45, was arrested on a charge of obstruction of governmental administration after she allegedly confronted deputies, pushed one of them and created a disturbance as they tried to calm her, according to sheriff's officials.
Ellicottville Judge Andrew Stokes ordered Thompson jailed in lieu of $500 bail, which she posted. Deputies were assisted on the case by Holiday Valley security officers.
