These are okay but I didn't see any difference at all.
After using for a few weeks I've noticed I sleep better but waking the following day can be hard at times, as for the am I haven't really noticed much of a boost
The AM tablets give you a real boost and sets you up for the day and the PM tablets calm me down after training I found sleeping after training pretty difficult the blend these tablets have works really well and gets me off to sleep. All in all a really good product Goes Well With:I take it with krill oil tablets
Easy to take supplement providing everything you need. helps me with my morning workouts and getting the sleep needed at night, which has always been an issue for me. i would recommend this to anyone.
Ideal complex of vitamins. To this complex I tried a large amount of vitamins of different brands. Always in each vitamin complex the producer added the specific ingredient over necessary norm of consumption. For example a vitamin C surplus more than for 700%. In this complex everything is very competently considered. The complex is basic and it is possible to add different additives to it.Goes Well With:Antarctic Krill Oil
Only negatives with this product has been the slow delivery. Ordered with free gifts of pro milks and a shaker, took over a week to be delivered. So far have been taking as directed, 3 'AM' pills in the morning then 3 'PM' just before bed. I feel full of energy all day long, I feel I have a better drive during cycling (primary sport) and also certainly feel stronger during my resistance training . So far very impressed with no negative sides other than feeling slightly groggy when waking up. Goes Well With:Taurine, creatine monohydrate
Awesome tablets I have been taking them for a few week's na and I can feel the difference they make you more hungry, less sore after you have trained and all together round ness I feel better in my body!Goes Well With:Water :)
I suffer with Fatigue and exhaustion and I have tried every multi-vitamin out there! The V-system is the only one I can feel a difference since I started with them. A little expensive but well worth the investment because they work! am pills really help to wake you up and get moving and the pm ones really help you to sleep! Love them!
this vitamin is very effective , i have been taking them for a month now and really feel the difference in my health.
The am tablets are pretty good The PM tablets are brilliant!! Be nice if you could buy the seperate They send you off to sleep even better than zma tablets I work on the doors so getting a decent sleep can be a struggle! The pm tabs help loads I'll buy again
Good, makes me a little drowsy in the morning, but sleeping much more solid
This is a must have product for any level of gym builder, Feel well recovered after taking this product; i have only been taking it for a month and already seen a massive gain in size and performance. Would recommend this product to anyone, this definitely a product that i will continue buying for the foreseeable future to come
Very good. It contains every needed vitamins and minerals.
I haven't slept so deeply in ages ! Good value for money and a multivitamin that you can actually feel working. I'll be buying it again .
The tablets are okay. Feel a bit brighter in the morning once I have taken them but it does look like I have swallowed yellow high lighter fluid when I go to the toilet. Not sure I have slept any better with the pm tablets. They are also quite large to swallow which can be a pain.
The V system. Vitamin and mineral combination is an easy and effective way to increase essential and non essential vitamin and mineral intake daily. The AM formula provides all the vitamins and minerals needed daily for an active and hectic lifestyle as well a calm lifestly with an exercise programme. The PM formula again provides you with all essential and non essential vitamins and minerals to stimulate and aid effective growth and recovery not only with muscle but natural immunity and well being. 2 tablets AM and 2 tablets PM is an extremely easy and efficient way of adding these supplements into your diet. I've been using this supplement for 6 months and can honestly say it's a first in my basket every order. Although my diet is good anyway this product gives me that reassurance and gurantee that my body is getting what it needs. The AM formula tablets have an odd taste on the tongue but because of the tablet form it's only brief and then it's gone. Over the time I have been using this product I have had an improvement in overall well being. Only side affect is that after taking the AM formula you will Notice a difference in urinating the next time you need to. Only a slight change in colour and possibly an odour. Other than that no side affects at all and is a very effective product. Definitely worth adding to any supplement stack!Goes Well With:Any supplement stack. Good diet.
Does what it says on the pack. I can't say I''ve noticed any big changes with the am (1 week in) but then I was already taking a high volume multi before. The pm dose has definitely improved my level of sleep which is great except now my wife has to push me of the bed to feed our 5wk old in the nights.Goes Well With:An active life style
I've been taking these for around 2 months now. You take 1 supplement in the morning, another at night, simple. Bad things: I've been taking 1 of each pill a day, instead of 3 (so 2 a day in total, rather than 6). Only because of the morning pill. This is because multi-vitamins should be a supplement. Some of the ingredients give you well over 100% of your RDA, which can be worrying when considering what you might be taking in through food and other factors. I choose to take 1 a day because of a study that showed Vitamin E & Selenium in high doses has links in older males to some cancers. The 3 morning pills would give you 250% Vitmain E and 180% Selenium - so 1 a day gives about 83% Vitamin E and 60% Selenium. Better safe than sorry. I would love to see myprotein address this and alter the amounts somewhat for specific ingredients. Good things: No trouble with size of pills or taste - if you can swallow a tablet then you'll be fine. Those who have reported taste issues must have the thing in their mouths for too long. It is also one fo the very few supplement packages I can find that contains iodine - research why that's good for you. I do feel generally good in day to day life since taking this supplement - no ill health issues. I do also like the inclusion of amino acids in the night pill. Other: The night supplement isnt a miracle sleep pill - dont expect too much from it. It can make my eyes get that tired, burning feeling which makes you want to go to sleep, but it's not a sleeping pill! I have also noticed that my first urination after taking the morning pill is a fantastic neon green - no big deal but you might shock a guy next to you in the bathroom as I did. Suggested improvements: 1 pill a day and 1 pill at night is very easy. 3 is a bit much. If myprotein could drop the morning pill's high contents (Vit E, Selenium and others) to around 70% and up all the others (besides the metals) so they came in at 70% - and pack it all in to 1 pill - I think we'd have an amazing product to supplement a good diet. Goes Well With:Good diet
Good product, seem to be getting the right dose of vitamins, not really much else to say than it does it's job!
Very good supplement.
Can't say much really, after all MP MAX V-System is only a multi-vitamin. But it's great value for the quaintly of tablets, and the morning/night pill concept seems to have some good grounds behind it.Goes Well With:Any well-balanced diet
Smell and tasts awful but works well over all pleased rating 4 / 5Goes Well With:creatine / protein supplements
Great vitamin complex. Been taking them for a month now and am starting to see the benefits.
The PM formula of MP MAX V-System is helping me to get a deep sleep. It's very good value for the price.
The MP MAX V-System is great value for money. I would definitely recommend it to friends.
I like them, bit hard to swallow but you can feel them work in about 20 minutes
I really like MP MAX V-System. I feel much better for taking them. I've more energy, my skin looks better and just a feeling of well-being knowing you're getting all you need plus more in a couple of tablets. They're quite big but easy to swallow.
I've used MP MAX V-System for nearly a year now. Firstly I've found myself not getting ill at all. Not had a cough, cold or anything so that's a massive plus, so I can keep on training. Morning ones help boost energy when I'm tired and the pm ones help me get a good night's sleep! I would highly recommend them, however taste is very poor but you don't buy them for the taste so it's not a negative.
Good vits in good dose in the am pack and the pm pack helps me get a good nights sleep.good value all for more all less the same price as z.m.aGoes Well With:Impact whey
MP MAX V-System makes me sleep like a baby at night and feel energised in the morning, with no side effects at all. It's a good product at a fair price!
I have found that when I take MP MAX V-System regularly after meals in the morning I feel more alert and productive through the day. The evening dose does help settle me down after a long, hectic day at work too.
I was disappointed after I found out that magnesium oxide is used that has the lowest absorbability of all magnesium forms (around 4%) even worse than magnesium stearate
This has been a brilliant buy. The am formula has given the energy and focus to go at the day whislt the pm formula has helped improve sleep massively. I've even encouraged my PT clients to get some. Will definitely be buying this again!Goes Well With:Anything.
I'm not into reviews and always feel that they are made up, but I'm going to change my concept and let you know about this product. For the price this MP MAX V-System out shines all other vitamin systems, it is that potent when you go to the toilet you glow (if you get what I'm saying). Yes on swallowing the 3 pills there is a slight after taste, but as for daily intake this has all areas covered. I take this daily with my BCCA and I'm pretty much covered, the night does make me relaxed as I do seem to be turning off and relaxing with ease.
I wanted an all in one supportive supplement, for the start of the day and night time, and this is great, it allows a great nights deep sleep, the morning supplement is strong and perks you up, for me personally I feel a little nausea but nothing to be concerned about as you can feel its effectiveness and support in the gym, everyone has different tolerances so please do let this put you off this product. I will continually take this now.
MP MAX V-System is a good supplement. I was taking multiple pills for the same job. These sort you out for a month, they're a solid purchase and I would recommend them.Goes Well With:Cla, thermopure, l carnitine
I have been using MP Max V-system for around 2 weeks now, my initial thoughts are it is quite effective unless you are wanting to lose weight. I train before work at around 6:30 am so I have breakfast then the tablets. I have found that I have had quite a lot of energy whilst in the gym and this seems to continue through the day. I'm not sure if the PM tablets have helped with my sleeping pattern yet. But overall I'm very happy with the purchase.Goes Well With:Soy Protein
The MP MAX V-System is an awesome and well thought out package! I definitely notice a sense of all round well-being and lack of allergies and sniffles when taking these! I love the little touches like the chamomile in the night time vitamins too!
I used to take alpha men as multivitamin because it worked great for me , this time and before I ran out of Alpha men bottle I decided to try out the MP MAX V-System, I liked the idea of having a super boost ingredients in the am then another calming one at night time. Now it's the the end of the 2nd week, I don't mind giving it 5 stars on taste and mix-ability since it's a pills supplement. I noticed in am formula the sting of the ginger which one of the ingredients of the performance blend, well made and with the ginseng it gives a real boost to kick start the day. The pm formula is well made too, with the amino acids I can clearly notice better recovery next morning. Overall it's a good product and I'll be switching between it and alpha men seasonally . Goes Well With:busy life style
This MP MAX V-System is a good product, I recommend.
MP MAX V-System is a great product and outstanding quality.
Great vitamins!!!Goes Well With:Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate & Myprotein Calcium Caseinate Instantised
After using MP MAX V-System for only a week and a half, I noticed a big difference. I'm more alert and bright in the morning, and I felt as if I had loads more energy to go to the gym after a long day at work. The biggest difference was the PM tablets. I felt sleepy after 20 minutes of taking them and had a full nights sleep (and I usually get up once through the night). I felt really refreshed in the morning. I love the product and will be buying again.
MP MAX V-System is a very handy supplement. It kickstarts your body well. The night time ones don't really relax me per se. Make sure you take each one with a decent amount of water, as they're big and if you catch the taste it's horrible!Goes Well With:thermopure, whey protein, green tea cla
Not sure about the AM tablets but I am definitely sleeping better after taking PM tablets. Only been using for about 2 weeks.
I've been using these MP MAX V-System tablets for a week now, and haven't noticed much difference to be honest. I suffer for muscle ache for a couple days after a hard work out, which seems to have eased but this is difficult to tell if it's the pills alone. I will continue with them but I'm not sure about a repeat purchase.
MP MAX V-System has made me feel more healthy.
I got this for free, and am impressed by it. Both formulas include many vitamins that enhance perfomance and recovery, so I've felt better since taking them. I'm especially impressed by the PM formula: not only does it prevent muscle catabolism, but it made me sleep like a baby. It does turn my urine green though, with is because of the high amount of Vitamin B, not all of which is digested, so don't panic if it happens to you. I would say that they are quite large and slighly hard to swallow. I recommend for athletes with weak gag reflexes :PGoes Well With:A healthy diet.
Overall I really like this product! It tastes horrible and the tablets are big so if you cant swallow big tablets this wont be for you, that said once they're down, they're down! I have definitely noticed I am more alert since taking these and sleep better also. I've been 2 of each supplement a day as i find swallowing 3 abit much for me, but i don't feel like i receive any less of the benefits!Goes Well With:Omega 3 Supplement, Impact Whey Protien, Superfood XS
Overall, very good. So far I feel I have more energy and I am more alertGoes Well With:everything

Gabby Giffords Gun Control PAC Picks Its Winners
There won't be a political penalty for Democratic senators who voted against last year's legislation to expand federal background checks for new gun purchases.
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords's gun control super PAC, Americans for Responsible Solutions, announced Tuesday that it will jump into seven Senate and four House races this year – but will stay out of campaigns involving Sens. Mark Pryor (D., Ark.) and Mark Begich (D., Alaska), who infuriated gun control groups when they voted against the bill last April.
"We don't see any point in working against the efforts of Sens. Pryor and Begich," said Pia Carusone, the PAC's executive director. "That's not part of the DNA of our group to defeat people who will be replaced by candidates that are even worse on this issue."

Instead Ms. Giffords's group will support Democratic Sens. Mark Udall of Colorado, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Al Franken of Minnesota. The group will back one Republican senator, Susan Collins of Maine.
ARS is also supporting the Senate campaign of Rep. Bruce Braley (D., Iowa).
In the House, ARS is backing Rep. Ron Barber (D., Ariz.), who won Ms. Giffords's seat and is one of the most endangered House Democrats, and New Hampshire Democratic Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Ann McLane Kuster. The group is backing one House Republican, Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.
All of its candidates either backed the Senate background checks bill or were co-sponsors of a companion House bill that was never brought up for a vote.
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's gun control group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, briefly aired TV advertising in Arkansas attacking Mr. Pryor after the background checks bill failed in the Senate but ended the practice after hearing complaints from top Senate Democrats. Mr. Bloomberg hasn't disclosed which, if any, 2014 candidates he will support.
Ms. Giffords was critically injured in the January 2011 shooting outside a supermarket near Tucson, Ariz. Her husband, the former Shuttle Cmdr. Mark Kelly, said it is his understanding that Mr. Pryor and Mr. Begich might vote differently if the background checks legislation were to re-emerge.
"I'm starting to get the sense that if given the opportunity again, we may see a different vote," he said. "I can't speak for the senators specifically about this, but I think they heard loud and clear from their constituents and from folks across the country that they made a poor choice on this legislation."
There is no sign the background checks legislation, shepherded by Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), is going to get another vote anytime soon. Mr. Manchin has said he won't seek to resuscitate the gun control effort until at least five senators who voted against the bill change their mind.
Carusone didn't divulge to reporters Tuesday how much ARS plans to spend on 2014 campaigns – "certainly into the millions," she said – but said the group aims to raise $20 million during the cycle.
Ms. Carusone and Mr. Kelly said it remains likely that gun control advocates will be outspent by the National Rifle Association and its allies, but they are trying to provide some cover for members of Congress who voted for gun control measures.
"It's most important that these champions of common sense … go back to work next year and that, if nothing more, that this is not a political liability," Ms. Carusone said. "We would like nothing more than to cancel this issue out, that it's a wash."

Traci and I were recently treated to an assault on the senses – what could be considered by some as the "Mecca" of all things pig-related. Cochon 555 is an event that goes around the country and pits 5 of the best Chefs in each city against each other (each chef prepares pork dishes) and invites 5 wineries as well. Attendees sample the foods prepared by each chef and then vote for their favorite – the winner is crowned the "Prince of Princess of Porc". It's a way to honor the age-old tradition of sustainable farming practices with heritage pigs and draws special attention to both the butcher and chef.
Cochon 555 is the brainchild of Brady Lowe, a self-described foodie who loves, wine, cheese and sustainable, local food. Overall, I'd say there were 200-300 people at this show – the turnout of support was really good – it's nice to see folks take an interest in the foods they eat and where that food is sourced from.
One of the more interesting events of the evening was the live butchering demo – they ended up giving away each cut during a drawing. Traci ended up winning the feet and was very excited about it.
Here he takes the scalp from the head and fills it with various cuts of meat from the rest of the pig and then sews it back together. The idea is to slow roast it in the oven – or I'd also consider smoking it as well.
One of the best Ice-Cream sandwiches I've ever had – the shortbread was made with bacon.
These were the most amazing pork rinds I've ever had! They literally melted in the back of your mouth like cotton candy.
The "Pig Chicks" brought out various pieces of pork goodness during the roasted pig eating.
Enjoying some of the blood sausage.
The winner of the sewed-up pig head!
Even our wine glasses had little pigs in them.
Overall, this was a good event in what it set out to do – draw attention to the sustainable farming of heritage pigs and getting people back in touch with the sources their food comes from.
I will say, however, that I was totally bummed not to see a single winemaker at the event – on Cochon's website it says: 5 chefs, 5 pigs, 5 winemakers. Really? Hmm, perhaps next time?

Tobacco Control, Plain Packaging, and Media Misinformation
Posted 3 May 2012 by
Yesterday an article in the Daily Mail was brought to my attention by Ben Goldacre, and Transform Drug Policy Foundation. There have been a few articles along a similar line to this one, questioning tobacco control research and policy. This one seemed particularly one-sided, so it's made me decide to go through the arguments, and discuss. The very first sentence of this article riled me, I have to say: There are few industries to have come under such sustained attack... Read more

MARTINSBURG - It won't be easy finding a replacement for outgoing West Virginia University President Jim Clements, but the school's board of governors members already have held an emergency session to discuss his resignation and will meet again Thursday in a special session aimed at selecting an interim president, said BOG Chairman Jim Dailey II.
The 10 a.m. meeting will be held on campus at Stewart Hall, while the next regularly scheduled meeting - the 17-member board routinely meets six times annually - is set for Dec. 20.
Since the university's hiring process is inclusive, it takes time and certain procedures have to be followed before another step can be taken, he said.
Clements, who spent nearly five years in Morgantown before publicly announcing his resignation Nov. 11, is leaving to become president at Clemson University and plans to be in his new South Carolina post in January. He will be present for WVU's graduation ceremony on Dec. 20, but also plans to take some personal time after that, Dailey said.
There's no time to waste since the nationwide search could take months, and officials hope a new president will be in place for fall 2014, he said.
"For example, once we get the
interim president on board, we have procedures and policies we have to follow in order to create a search committee so that we can then search for a permanent president. It is definitely a very formalized process," said Dailey, a WVU alumnus and owner of W. Harley Miller Contractors Inc. in Martinsburg.
The search committee will "bring in folks from all walks of life at the university, including faculty, students, staff and alumni because all of these interests need to be considered," he said.
Dailey said Clements told him about his decision on Sunday, and an emergency meeting was held Wednesday in Morgantown. It wasn't a total surprise, however, because Clements had kept Dailey and other board members informed about "numerous contacts from other universities across the country," he said.
"So I was aware that Clemson had been seriously looking at him, and I give him a lot of credit for that," Dailey said.
While the interim president can either be an in-house candidate or someone without ties to the university, the successful candidate is barred from applying for the president's position, he said.
Search committee members may choose to use a professional organization that specializes in providing potential candidates or simply consider applicants who come to them directly or from other recommendations.
He said both the interim and new presidential selection must also be approved by the state Higher Education Policy Commission. State approval also is required in terms of the new president's salary. When he was originally hired, Clements' salary was $450,000 but was later increased to $775,000, Dailey said.
Salary negotiations will be conducted with the successful candidate, he said.
Dailey, a seven-year BOG member who was elected chairman in July, said he understands Clements' reasons for leaving and supports the move because it will be good for his family. The new job means Clements will be close to his wife Beth's family, and that will be an advantage for his youngest daughter, who has special needs, Dailey said.
In a letter to the WVU community, Clements said he wasn't looking to leave Morgantown but "after much thought, reflection and prayer, Beth and I decided that this is an opportunity that we couldn't pass up."
It's especially hard to see Clements leave because of what he's accomplished, a list that includes "unprecedented success" in private giving, enrollment, academics, research funding, health care, community service and economic development, Dailey said.
Ironically, his success already has been noticed at the national level - with other college and university leaders calling to "find out the secret to WVU's success," he said.
That kind of positive feedback may actually help in finding a new president, Dailey added.
"Although it does take a while, it's important that everyone knows the university will still be operated properly during this time and continue with the work that Jim Clements did, because he has taken us to new heights," he said.
Thanks to his leadership, "everyone is now working on the same page, working together hand-in-hand and we are really moving forward. We don't want to lose that momentum," Dailey said.

Shotgun Start at Noon
Saturday, October 25th, 2014
The Wayne Hamby Memorial Golf Tournament began in 2010 when Wayne Hamby passed away from multiple myeloma and his Pinecrest Golf Club friends held this event in his memory. The first year there were approximately 82 players. Last year, 2013, the tournament participation grew to over 100; and this year, we are hoping for record attendance.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells which attacks and destroys bone. In the US there are approximately 100,000 patients and nearly 20,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Despite this fact, there is a lack of public awareness about this disease.
Established in 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is the oldest and largest foundation focusing specifically on multiple myeloma. The foundation's focus is to fund research, provide education, lend support, and promote advocacy initiatives that allow collective voices to be heard. Details of the work being done by the IMF can be found at www.myeloma.org.

I've given him more facts on Magisterial District Judges then he ever knew, yet his opinion is always right. He is a blow hard that likes to talk without having the knowledge to back it up. No wonder he could not cut it as a Police Officer! Smid1972, as far as PCPD goes; you hit it right on all they do. PCPD is a busy dept. with all they do. I've seen those guys/girls work and have had the pleasure of talking with them and you'd be surprised. Sometimes those College kids are worse than their adult counterparts. Smid1972, make sure to keep an eye for all the idiot logic Jeff33 spews out. You will then get the picture real quick. He is full of sour grapes!

wow jeff, I'm so glad you are so informed about what the penn college police do. Yup you are correct, the ONLY thing they do is back up the city police. They don't provide security to the college or it's extensions. They don't patrol their jurisdiction to make sure there aren't any unruly college students. They don't go to college houses to take care of complaints so city units don't have to. They don't secure all the college buildings. All they do all day is sit in their little huts on rose street and wait for county communications to call them to assist city units. you're a moron! Maybe if you would actually get out from your desk you might actually find out what's going on the city. And I for one am glad we have another policing unit that can back-up our city units when in need.

They should cut the Police Department, all they do is answer calls for the city and the college pays for it!

On Saturday, The Post and Courier and Charleston Scene present the Charleston Food Truck Rodeo, featuring 16 food trucks and vendors. Were proud that a city the size of Charleston supports such a large number. Just a few years back, there were only the small ethnic trucks that park near North Charleston worksites.
If you go
What: The Post and Couriers Charleston Food Truck RodeoWhen: 3-10 p.m. SaturdayWhere: The Post and Courier parking lot, King and Columbus streetsDetails: 16 food trucks and vendors. Free admission. Live music. Food, wine and beer available for purchase.
An understanding of the food truck phenomenon can be found in John T. Edges latest work, The Truck Food Cookbook: 150 Recipes and Ramblings From Americas Best Restaurants on Wheels. An author, New York Times columnist and director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, Edge was the right man to address the subject. His works include Hamburgers & Fries: An American Story and Southern Belly: The Ultimate Food Lovers Companion to the South.
And so he goes, traveling across the country to 12 cities, large ones like Portland, Ore., where the truck food scene is firmly established, and smaller ones, like Minneapolis, where it shows promise.
In Portland, Edge reports, there are numerous pods, groupings of carts that function like food courts, both downtown and in the suburbs. They flourish in large part because the citys planning commission found that food carts have a positive impact on street vitality and neighborhood life and advance public values, including community connectedness and distinctiveness, equity and access, and sustainability.
From this avant-garde West Coast city to ours, food trucks are experiencing amazing growth because they answer our need for fast food, and they answer it in a far more honest and delicious way.
Much is outsider food, immigrant food, Edge writes, from the old guard, who are the inspiration for the New Guard of vendors ... the insurgent band of young cooks who now stand at the helm of stepside vans, and cook as they might inside a restaurant. It is hip, and perhaps all they could afford, or were willing to wait for. Either way, we benefit.
Author, chef and photographer Angie Mosier worked with Edge to share 150 signature food truck recipes and take the photographs in the book. She adapted the recipes for the home cook. Once you realize that many have only a handful of ingredients, and consider how little time and space there is in a food truck for preparation, youll find some quite handy.
You can sit back and just enjoy Edges journey as an armchair traveler, but with the chapters divided into culinary classifications, such as Fries & Pies, Waffles & Their Kin, and Sandwich Up, its mighty easy to zoom in on what youre hungry for, be it Sweet Potato and Swiss Chard Pies, Bacon Waffles, or Sloppy Jerk Pork Sandwiches (Paperback. Workman Publishing. $18.95).

NIAGARA FALLS – City police found a man laying face down in a parking lot, following a shooting late Sunday.
The name of the victim and extent of his injuries were not been released today.
Police responded to a call of shots fired at 11 p.m., in the 3400 block of Ninth Street. At the scene, they found a wounded 23-year-old man surrounded by a crowd of people. Police said not a single person in the crowd surrounding the man said they knew anything or saw anything related to the shooting.
A witness with an apartment facing the parking lot said she heard four gunshots. The victim was able to speak to police as he was being treated at the scene and said he saw a black, four-door vehicle leave the scene, but didn't know who shot him. Police found a 9 mm projectile and a cellphone at the scene that did not belong to the victim.
The shooting remains under investigation.

An Alden man faces dozens of traffic violations after leading Depew and Lancaster police officers on a high-speed chase early Saturday.
Derrick P. Campbell, 22, was arrested after a chase through Lancaster and Depew, police said. He was arraigned before Village of Depew Justice Gordon Willis, who set bail at $10,000 cash, or $75,000 bond, and remanded Campbell to Erie County Holding Center.
Campbell, police said, also faces criminal charges after he allegedly attempted to drive his vehicle into the path of a Depew police cruiser. Officer James Refermat was able to take evasive actions to avoid being struck head-on, police added.
Initially, police said they had attempted to stop a 2001 Subaru Forester on Transit Road near Broadway for speeding at 1:45 a.m.

SYCAMORE Sept. 19 had the potential to be a big game anyway for New Riegel volleyball coach Cindy Walerius.
That's the day Mohawk rolls into town for what is sure to be a battle of top Midland Athletic League foes.
But rivalry aside, Walerius is glad to see that the general for Mohawk will be none other than the coach who has coached against her for the last nine years: Eric Hoover.
"I am a competitor, just like Eric, and I want to play a team when they're at their best," she said. "And honestly, without him on the sidelines, Mohawk would not be at their best. I can tell you that right now."
The embattled Mohawk coach was approved by a 4-1 vote Thursday night at a Mohawk Board of Education special meeting to return as the volleyball coach. The vote reversed a decision from 10 days earlier when the coach was non-renewed for the role by a 3-2 margin.
"To have the respect of those people means a lot," Hoover said of the dozens of area coaches who turned out to support him. "You go and compete against them. You might not always get along at those times or agree with things that they do. It doesn't matter because when it comes down to it, they had my back and were ready to come support me and that means a lot."
Walerius, as well as many other of her coaching colleagues from area schools turned out in support of Hoover.
"Coach Hoover is a great guy and a great coach. We've been friends in the nine years that we've coached against each other and he's been nothing but class. In victory or defeat, he shows so much class," Walerius said. "I have the utmost respect for him and I've seen this happen to coaches and I didn't want to see it happen again. This would be so unfair to these kids in Mohawk."
Walerius said the packed performing arts center at Mohawk was unbelievable.
"This turnout, I don't know if I've seen anything like this. I've been to some other board meetings where people have been supporting other coaches and no I've never seen anything like this," Walerius said. "They take a lot of pride in this school and it showed tonight."
Tim Baumberger, a longtime Wynford volleyball coach, turned out and was going to speak on behalf of the coaches in the area in defense of Hoover. As it turned out, he never got his chance since the board came out of executive session and voted immediately, without calling on anyone in the audience.
"I want to applaud the Mohawk community for what they did for Eric and the Hoover family. Because no matter what that board had decided tonight, the message this community sent to the Hoovers would have been a lifetime memory," Baumberger said. "Eric would have gone on (to another coaching job) because he's a man in demand. But this was his 'Captain, my captain' moment. This is amazing that they did this for the coach."
He said the community has ample reason to back its coach.
"As a representative of the district coaches, we all know the success he's brought onto the court. His teams are better prepared than any team. They play with more discipline. Most of us have lost to him a lot more than what we've beat him. We don't need to talk about that level of success," Baumberger said. "But the reason the coaching community was here was to support him for the person he is, for the character he brings, for the way he treats the other coaches and their programs. He treated every opponent with respect. He never made an excuse in defeat and never gloated in victory. There's a lot of people with the same kind of record as Eric that we wouldn't have moved to support. But because of the person Eric is, he earned our support tonight."
Upper Sandusky volleyball coach Matthew McConnaughey said he turned out to support his rival coach.
"I think that (last week's decision) was a gross miscarriage of justice, regardless of what I think of Eric as a person. And I think he's one of the classiest coaches, most knowledgeable coaches in Ohio," McConnaughey said. "But as a teacher and a coach (myself), and any coach will tell you this, there's an epidemic in our country of parents not being objective about the talent level of their kids. Everyone can see the success that he's had with his program and clearly he had the right personnel on the floor. To let a personal decision affect somebody's career is unforgivable as far as I'm concerned."
Mark Adelsperger and Joe Parker spearheaded a community group to come together through petitions and encouraging people to turn out. Mark is the father of the Adelsperger triplets: juniors Kasey, Julie and Clara.
Kasey Adelsperger admits she cried when her dad delivered the news last week that Hoover had not been rehired. She was thrilled the board reversed the decision.
"It was a great feeling and you see it in the reaction of the crowd, how blessed we were to have him back as the coach," Kasey said.
When roll call happened on the vote and the motion passed, the crowd sat momentarily in silence. Then a few claps could be heard before a thunderous standing ovation that lasted nearly a minute in support of the decision.
Hoover was still in his baseball uniform at the meeting, fresh off a victory against Kenton.
"I'm just glad to be back where I belong: running the program," Hoover said. "That was my goal tonight and that's where we are."
Hoover said it's been a sleepless journey.
"It's been a long 10 days. The initial shock, having no idea why or for what reason and never being given a reason, never a reason that made any sense," Hoover said. "The first day, all the support and texts and e-mails I was getting was overwhelming. It's so weird to go from a blindsided, depressed sick feeling to back to the complete opposite makes you feel pretty good. The rest of the time though has been (rough) not knowing what was going to happen. I know I didn't sleep very well for about 10 days. The gamut of emotions was overwhelming at times."
Hoover met with one of the board members who voted against him originally and cleared the air with him.
"I think it went well. Things were cleared up," Hoover said. "I wanted to meet with all of them. I don't know a better way to resolve things than that. But that didn't happen."
Hoover said there was no question he was going to come back if offered the opportunity to do so.
"People asked me, 'How can you even walk into that building? Why would you want to work there?,'" Hoover said. "The fact of the matter is I don't work for them. I don't do what I do for the three people who voted no (last week). I do what I do for the kids and the community and they wanted me. They supported me. This place was full. Why would I leave that, regardless of what a few people think?"
Mohawk athletic director Erik Baker said the turnout for his volleyball coach was no surprise.
"It's gratifying. Eric earns it. He does an awful lot of good things. Whatever shortcomings he may or may not have, the good he does has not gone unnoticed," Baker said. "He has a tremendous loyalty from his former players, both volleyball and baseball both and former JV basketball players. He's always shown himself to be a good and decent person and all parts of his life."
Baker said the enthusiasm for Mohawk can now be pointed in other directions.
"From a different standpoint, it was good to see that much energy and focus on one goal. I'd like to see that directed into passing a levy so we can see that energy moving forward on some other things as well."

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As with any morning after a big party, the election of Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States in one of the most difficult economic, social, and political times in our history has brought a mixture of optimism and concern among many different sectors of the economy.
There are no areas, however, with the potential for more explosive political change than healthcare, biotechnology, and information technology. From the vantage point of a dean and CEO of an academic medical center that has thrived on an entrepreneurial academic model and on partnerships with industry and the private sector, the landscape the new president will face on the day after the inauguration appears to pose several challenges.
More than any other candidate, President Obama has bought into the Institute of Medicine's statement that "the American healthcare delivery system is in need of fundamental change. The current care systems cannot do the job. Trying harder will not work. Changing systems of care will." The desire to fundamentally change how we do business in healthcare has implications for everyone touched by healthcare, namely all of us. Most importantly it will impact healthcare information technology, the NIH and federal funding of research, FDA and pharmaceuticals, as well as investment and ease of operation for biotechnology start-ups.
Impact on Big PharmaThere has been much written about President Obama's tripartite policy on pharmaceuticals—increased use of generics, importation of drugs from other developed countries, and the repeal of the Medicare Drug Improvement and Modernization Act, so that Medicare can negotiate prices with pharma similarly to the VA system. In fact, almost half the expected investment in evidence-based medicine and healthcare information technology will likely come from these savings.
The question remains how the totality of the Obama plan will impact pharma and device companies. While drugs account for only 5% of healthcare costs in this nation, they represent half of Medicare out-of-pocket costs. In fact, in this depressed economic time, I see patients on a regular basis who have self-adjusted their medication dosages so as to extend the time before they need a refill.
On the one hand, if there is truly an expansion of healthcare coverage, then the increase in the number of units sold may outweigh any Medicare-negotiated price decreases. While most of the chatter has been about the effect on big pharma, of concern to us in academia is our reliance, especially with decreased NIH funding, on investment from biotech start-ups as well as their reliance on partnerships with big pharma.
Embryonic Stem CellsThe expected immediate repeal of the embryonic stem cell ban will stimulate research as long as there is a concomitant increase in stem cell funding. If there is only an opening of the disapproved lines without additional funding, it may actually cause a reduction in investment for the very areas of adult stem cell research that American researchers have had to develop given the current restrictions imposed by the Bush administration.
The federal restrictions have also spurred significant state funding of stem cell research, most notably in California. Given the current economic crises, it may be easy for the states to assume that all is well and now the federal government will carry that burden. So, despite all the optimism, the jury is still out as to whether or not there will be increased global stem cell funding.
Funding Basic to Translation ResearchFrom an academic medicine perspective, nothing has been more depressing than the decrease in NIH funding, especially since much of our faculty and research hiring in the '90s was consistent with the then expansion of translational research funding. There are many of us who expect this administration and Congress to approve a 3% or 4% increase in available funding from the NIH with the potential for a $1 billion or more stimulus package.
More important than the numbers, however, is this administration's commitment to funding in specific areas. Senator Obama in 2006 sponsored the Genomics and Personalized Medicine Act, which increased funding for research in how a person's genetic makeup affects their propensity for disease and response to treatment.
This Act also expanded the genomics workforce, provided a tax credit for development of diagnostic tests that can improve the safety and effectiveness of drugs, and invested in protecting genetic privacy. Those of us who are on the academic or entrepreneurial side of this industry should see significantly increased opportunities.
Finally, we look at the fate of the SBIR and STTR initiatives, which are important factors in the growth of biotechnology academic entrepreneurialism. Some of the greatest technology in development will be lost and unavailable to commercialization if the government does not look for ways to help the NIH increase its funding for true translational research.
James Greenwood, president of BIO, made this clear immediately after the election. "You can't simply go after big pharma on pricing and not expect it to have an impact on the most innovative young companies." Future healthcare issues that decrease the ability of any company, big or small, to recoup and make a reasonable profit on the sale of drugs or devices will have a profound impact on future R&D of new products, relationships with academic scientists, and the very cycle of innovation that President Obama will need to drive the future of healthcare.
Healthcare ITAny explosive change cited in this article, however, pales in comparison to the goal of achieving universal implementation of interoperable electronic health records within this term. In fact, President Obama has been very specific about spending $50 billion dollars over five years to achieve that goal. To put that in perspective, President Bush stated in 2005 that all records should be electronic by 2014, and he invested $100 million per year to achieve that goal.
Despite the huge increase in funding, it may not be enough. There are many analysts who believe that it will take about $28 billion per year in infrastructure and incentives. While prognosticating in print is a dangerous exercise for journalists or deans, I suspect that when you wake up in 2015, much will have changed. For one thing, the day of the scribbled prescription will be over. It is a $6 billion dollar problem in this country, and there is no other part of our life where we would take an unreadable piece of paper, stuff it in our pocket, hand it to a clerk, who hands it to another professional, and hope that it works out alright. Nonetheless, we trust our healthcare with that process.
Change Is InevitableSo it's the morning after the inauguration, the heady hope of change has been in the air since early November, and the reality of the challenges ahead for healthcare and the biotechnology industry are as real as the coffee on our breakfast table. The one thing that everyone agrees with is that healthcare is a $1 trillion plus industry in transition, and there will be opportunities available that have not occurred since the formation of Medicare some 40 years ago.
Whatever side of the healthcare equation you are on—patient, provider, industry—change is in the air. There will be winners and losers, and not all is certain, except that technology will expand as will patient demands and expectations. If you are in a healthcare-related business, strap yourself in—the next six years will test us to an unprecedented degree. Most of us believe that when the Obama library is being constructed, very little about healthcare and biotechnology will look as it did in 2008.

Buffalo artist Hayley Carrow is mad for mid-century modern furniture. Last winter, she set aside time to reupholster an old Eames-style Plycraft lounge chair, replacing the original brown leather with silvery blue matte leather she bought for about $100 at a fabric closeout.
"I'd work on it every time I had a spare moment," said Carrow, who co-owns Reimagine vintage furniture at 732 Elmwood Ave. with Cortney Morrison-Taylor (www.reimaginefurniture.com).
She found the chair about a year ago at a flea market and doesn't recall how much she paid for it. The chair, now complete, is a focal point of her living room – and it's comfortable, she said.
Whether it's a lounge chair, bookcase or accent table, many people live with furniture with a past.
These aren't rare 19th century antiques we're talking about. They may be family pieces, castoffs or garage sale finds worth keeping for their design, usefulness, quality and, sometimes, sentiment. Doing so also is less expensive than going out and buying new.
Everyone is not always completely at home with the idea, however. Many wonder how, when and if they should update old pieces, especially when the furniture is tired-looking. Old furniture can have flaws – but also possibilities.
That's what Kim Hazelet saw when she decided to breathe new life into the china cabinet she inherited from her grandparents.
"I didn't want it as it was, but I didn't want to give it away, either. So I just updated it by painting it a light sage-green," she said.
Sentiment played a role in taking on the piece. "We all sat around my grandparents' table for Sunday dinner for years, and we were always backing our chairs into that china cabinet. I didn't try to make it perfect; the dings are all still there. The dings bring back fond memories," said Hazelet, an interior designer and owner of Accentric, a home accent specialty shop at 1424 Hertel Ave.
Hazelet believes in embracing such pieces but also in personalizing and refreshing them.
"People may get upset over painting over wood, but I'd rather keep a piece that is part of my family history and make it my own," she said.
The china cabinet came free. Supplies? About $30 for the water-base paint and dark furniture wax. The time? Six hours so far.
"It's still a work in progress," Hazelet said.
Whether you do the updates yourself (learning how online or from other resources), tap a handy friend or hire a professional (wood refinisher, upholsterer, etc.), here are some ideas:
• Refresh seat covers. Cover the old seat covers on Aunt Hattie's vintage dining room set with fresh fabric, suggested Sandy Hertel, owner of Elmwood Village Fabrics, 543 Franklin St., which stocks heavy and lightweight modern fabrics for $18 per yard or less.
"The 54-inch-wide fabrics cover two typical size dining seat covers with only , yard," she said."The 45-inch-wide fabrics are even less expensive and offer up even more choices if the seating is 'just for show' or you don't expect long-term heavy use."
Laminated cotton fabrics are easy to keep clean for families with young kids, said Hertel, adding that special-order fabrics are an option as well.
Other fabric fixes: Recover pillows or cushions. Throw a fabric square over the marred or ugly top of a side table.
"You can even hem it yourself with iron-on tape if you don't know how to sew," said Hertel, whose shop is beginning to offer basic sewing classes (www.elmwood villagefabrics.com).
Customers also buy fabric to put at the backs of bookcases or china cabinets to brighten up dark wood backgrounds or ugly paint.
• Revitalize hardware. "Spray-painting knobs and handles in a new color is a very inexpensive way to freshen up your kitchen cabinets, said Julie Dana, owner of the Home Stylist and a local interior "redesigner." Carrow recommends doing the same with furniture handles.
• For painting furniture, Dana and others are fans of Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan, which is available locally for $38 per quart at Blue Sky Design Supply, 95 Perry St. (www.blueskydesignsupply.com). The big deal? Not only is the paint environmentally friendly, it can be applied without priming or sanding (see www.anniesloan.com).
Blue Sky is offering free Chalk Paint demonstrations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday. A hands-on workshop, An Affair With a Chair, will follow from 2 to 4; participants will redesign their own chair, learning and practicing various techniques using Chalk Paint. Preregistration required; $80 per person (852-1680).
• Hire a decorative painter to give new life to old pieces. Or upgrade your own decorative painting skills. Western New York is home to more than 125 members of the Society of Decorative Painters. Some of them teach the skills; others are designers, authors and hobbyists. Furniture and decorative accessories are just a few items that work as their canvases. For more information, visit the website, www.decorativepainters.org.
• Wondering whether a piece is worth reupholstering? Here is Hazelet's rule of thumb: "If you like the lines of the sofa and it is a good solid frame that is well made, it is worth upholstering," she said. Padding can be changed. Springs re-tied. But you need that good frame, she said.
• Finally, wallpaper can freshen up furniture, often a single roll or less. The Better Homes and Gardens' website, www.bhg.com, is just one online resource for finding ideas and instructions for dressing up bookcases, headboards, drawer fronts and more with wallpaper.

A Six-and-a-half foot ball of shit that rolls around in the middle-east and plans senseless attacks on innocent people. This piece of shit stinks up the world even though he is hiding all the time. He is hiding because of the fact that the flame of anger burning up inside of everyone would dry him out into a very dry piece of shit.
Osama Bin Laden? Chain that piece of shit up, put me alone in a room with him, and he wouldn't last a minute.

A cock-loving piece of shit that gets off on killing innocent people (mostly Americans) and eating his own shit. He has been know to hide his pussy ass in caves for years after carrying out his terrorist acts. Recently, it has been reported that his penis has fallen off and he has had a vagina surgically implanted so that he can now not only be rammed up the ass by his piece of shit followers and goons but also in the front side as well (simultaneously). He has been known to suck dick and lick chodes for pleasure.
"Hey Jimmy, look what just came out of my asshole...it's Osama Bin Laden."

Unknown drinking game :O mysterryyy
so i was looking up some isenseven videos when i came apon this one YouTube - Isenseven - Isen7 BangBang Teaser August
i know its sorta called wacka wacka... they sort of explain the game from 0-35.. ull see.. and im wondering wat is this game and how u play it it looks trippy and fun :)
and while were in the subject of drinking games.. know any good ones?
King's Cup
This makes getting shitfaced a lot more entertaining
1.Place a pint-sized glass in the middle of the table.
2. Spread a deck of cards in a circle around the cup and have your guests sit around it.
3. Each player sits down with their beverage of choice and draws a card when it's their turn, their (or group) action results from what card they draw. It doesn't matter who starts or whether you go clockwise or counter.
Rules: (I know there are a lot but once you memorize them, it's fun as hell)
2 - Two for you
Two drinks to the person of your choice
3 - Three for me
Player takes three drinks
4- Four's for Whores (we play 4 floor, last one to touch the floor drinks)
All ladies take a drink
5- Slap
Upon seeing the five card pulled, all players must hit the table with their hand. The last person to do this drinks.
6- Six is for Dicks
All the guys take a drink
7- Thumbmaster (7 heaven, last one to raise their hand drinks)
Whoever pulls a 7 becomes the new Thumbmaster. He or she can sneakily put their thumb on the table whenever they like. All the other players must put theirs on the table, too. The last to do it must drink.
8 - Never have I ever
Say a true statement about something you've never done. All those who have done it must drink.
9 - Rhyme
Say a short sentence. The next player uses a sentence that rhymes with it. This goes around the table until the last person can't think of a rhyme. He or she drinks. (Words/phrases can only be used once.)
10- Category
Choose a category. Each player must choose something within that category. If you can't think of anything, you drink. (Example: chocolate candy bars: Snickers, Twix, Reese's Cups, Milky Way, etc.)
Jack- Rule
Possibly the funnest card in the bunch. When you pull a rule card, you get to make up a rule for the game. Every time the rule is broken, that person must drink. (See Rules Game above for some good rule ideas.)
Queen- Question Master
The person who pulls the Q is Question Master until the next Q is pulled. He or she can ask a question of another player at any time. If that player answers the question, he or she must drink.
King- King's Cup
The first three to pull a King must pour some of their drink into the cup at the middle of the table. The last person to choose it must drink it. The game ends when the last King is pulled.
Ace- Waterfall
Everybody drinks. The player who picked the Ace starts the waterfall. No player can stop drinking until the player before him stops.
Feel free to make your own rules, but this game is the best and gets you hammered quick, in all seriousness I've seen people get so drunk after a few games that one of them crapped his pants I swear!
damn - you get to take a drink for writing all those rules down.
Is this the same thing as circle of death?
yep same thing jst slighty different rules:
2-you......you drink
3-me......pick sme1 to drink
4-floor......last to touch floor drinks
5-guys......guys drink
6-chicks.....chicks drink
7-heaven....last to put both hands up
8-pick a mate....pick sme1 to drink with
9-rhyme.....say a word nxt person rhymes with it or drinks
10-social...every1 drinks
j-nvr ever have i ever....smething u nvr done but if sme1 else has dne they have to drink
Q-rule.....make a rule (cnt say drink,drank,or drunk) if so u have to drink
K-catagory.....like car models (honda,ford,dodge) if u cnt think ne more or repeat 1 u drink
A-waterfall...u cnt stp till person in front of u drinks all the way round the circle
sounds like asshole too
Ring of Fire what a classic game.
Haha MPD, We always bought the "bucket o balls" from walmart.
i prefer good old flippy cup to beer pong, gets more people involved.
this is my personal favorite game, everyone gets totally wrecked
its called three man, and you played with two dice
you pick someone to start and let the fun begin
depending on what you roll, the actions are below
1:1 Doubles - see below
1:2 Three man drinks (sum to 3)
1:3 Three man drinks (three on die)
1:4 pass turn
1:5 social(5 on die=everyone drinks)
1:6 Player to left of roller drinks (7 left/11 right)
2:2 Doubles - see below
2:3 Three man drinks (three on die)
2:4 Pass turn
2:5 Player to left of roller drinks (7 left/11 right) and social
2:6 Pass turn
3:3 Doubles - see below; three drinks twice
3:4 Three man drinks; player to left of roller drinks
3:5 Three man drinks, social
3:6 Three man drinks
4:4 Doubles - see below
4:5 Social
4:6 Pass turn
5:5 Doubles -+double social
5:6 Player to right of roller drinks (7 left/11 right)
6:6 Doubles - see below
However, if on the Three Man's turn, s/he rolls a three or combination thereof, s/he is no longer the Three Man and then can designate any other player as the new Three Man. (This also includes if the Three Man rolls during a doubles give; see below)
Social: Everybody drinks
Doubles: The roller has the option of giving both dice to one player or one dice to two players.the person receiving the dice has to call out the number they are going to roll, however many numbers they are off equals the amount in seconds they have to chug for. if they guess the correct number, the person who originally rolled doubles has to drink for twice the amount. say dude a rolls doubles and passes them to dude b. dude b says he will roll a total of 8, and he does, then dude a has to drink for 16 seconds. if he calls an 8 and rolls a 3, he himself has to drink for 5 seconds. if you run out of beer during your count, you gotta open a new one and continue the count from where you left off
To condense everything:
Total of 7 player to right of roller drinks
Total of 11 player to left of roller drinks
5 on either die Social
Any 3 or sum to 3 Three man drinks
Doubles give 'em away
you roll till you dont get anything on the dice, but if you roll 5 consecutive times you get to make up your own rule
some fun rules are: no swearing, no saying actual names, no nick names, thumbmaster,everytime person a drinks, person b has to drink also, or having to say silly things before you drink such as 'sack gargler'
best drinking game.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - The Bounce and Fresh Bakin' will host B2: Bride of Bounce-o-Ween at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27 at Lakeside in Tahoe City.
Highlight performers from The Bounce Festival Russ Liquid, Thriftworks, and HammFM will perform at the annual costume party. Russ Liquid's trumpet-over-bass sound, along with Bay Area electronica artist Thriftworks and glitch-hop lovestep producer Hamm FM will keep the vibe fresh from the start.
Set apart from other up-and-coming West Coast bass music producers by his extensive world-touring history and performance experience, Russ Liquid brings a much-needed injection of melody and emotion to the thriving dance floor community. Classically trained on the piano, trumpet, saxophone and flute, Russ Liquid spent his early 20s touring the Caribbean and South America as part of a jazz quintet, playing resorts, cruise ships and dance clubs. Once the young composer was introduced to electronic music, his course in life was forever altered, and he soon discovered a new home in the international electronic music community.
Thriftworks' hopped into the West Coast festival circuit seemingly from out of nowhere just this summer, however DJs, producers and tastemakers had been in awe of his eclectic and beautiful electronica. HAMM F.M. aka Ham DeRosa is a former Tahoe local whose move recently coincided with the release of his first EP, "Transformations," charted at No. 13 for soundcloud.com's top played music.
Tickets are $15 and are available at the Melting Pot World Emporium in Reno, New Moon Natural Foods in Tahoe City and Truckee, Lakeside and online at www.FreshBakin.com.

"If you can sell that, you can sell anything"...
Grant, we are inundated with the liberal media who's bent is to make socialism our form of government, even though it has failed elsewhere.
It sounds great to those who don't want to work and good for those who feel good when those people are taken care off and very good to those politicians who want to have a life time job, taking care of the down trodden...that they made down trodden.

I'm not sure what will wake up people up at this point. Congress is more terrified of an 85 billion dollar sequester than they are of a 16 trillion dollar debt and people are buying the line that it'll be tragic. If you can sell that, you can sell anything.

And, are you aware of this...
Already looking past the current budget impasse gripping the capital, congressional leaders are quietly considering a deal to avert a government shutdown next month—but at the cost of prolonging across-the-board spending cuts.
Attention is beginning to shift from Friday, when the broad cuts known as the sequester kick in, to the next budget deadline: Congress must pass a so-called continuing resolution by the end of March to keep funding government operations.
Senior aides to House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) have begun discussing a bill being prepared by House Republicans.

And in the real world we all live day to day:
Retailers are preparing for a triple whammy as the restoration of the payroll tax, surging gas prices, and stagnant employment and wages take a bite out of consumers' disposable income, leaving them with less cash to spend on clothing, groceries, and eating out. Wal-Mart's profits can indicate how the nation's economy is doing. Recent reports forecast lower spending at the retail giant this year. As a result, more than three years after the recession officially ended, American consumers might be preparing to downshift again, if only slightly, with low-income consumers hit the hardest. Sensing consumer trepidation, retailers are scrambling to adjust.
Retailers, restaurants, and consumer goods companies like Wal-Mart are lowering sales forecasts and adjusting marketing campaigns ahead of expectations that consumers will slash spending.

And, while Washington wrings it's hands as to how to survive spending us into oblivion, " Inflation-adjusted per capita federal spending went up $822.90 from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2012, according to official data from the U.S. Treasury and the Census Bureau.
Real federal spending also increased $2437.64 per household between 2008 and 2012.
In constant 2012 dollars, the federal government spent $3,176,376,470,000 in 2008 and $3,538,446,000,000 in 2012, according to the U.S. Treasury."

You see it's one thing to complain and another to do something about it.
I'm sorry, but I see a President who only cares about how he's perceived and nothing about what to do to turn this ship around...an example is what is his latest effort on jobs?
I see a congress who doesn't know what to do with a President who gives no leadership and a media who blames them for everything including the common everyday cold.
Maybe, it would be best if the government just shut down?

As one economist said Friday, this all began when we gave away our manufacturing.
Much because our government refused to stop countries like China from manipulating their currency and producing inferior products, then dumping them on we the people.
But, also the greed on the part of both labor and management.
The biggest question put forth by the economist is whether we have a means of getting it back. I wonder if we have the will?

... in fact a lack a vision, an a failure to innovate to remain competitive was the culprit. Oh, did I mention we could not compete! We have now a world market and the same scenario is playing out all over the world. If we want Salem or the region to return to it's former glory, find a niche and learn to compete. Yes ladybug, that means if you want to move up in the company, you have to do it faster, better, or suggest a way to skip that operation altogether. Competition! Enough said.

Engineering centers, and bankers willing to take a risk. But our guy down south had some investors that bought his line and believed he could he could possibly compete. The guy built a state of the art factory, no doubt specialized not trying to compete immediately in every steel product. He could hire inexpensive labor, many who had been out of work and were still willing to do what it took to move up. He got it moving, slow it first, because the needed skill sets had to be be learned in that part of the country. Meanwhile in our area, the EPA came into being, labor unions were starting to feel they owned a cash cow, the steel industry was sitting on plants pushing 100 years old, labor was getting expensive, an faced with decisions, to add millions of dollars smoke stack scrubbers, and a million other details, steel capitulated to a large extent. Those jobs are gone, don't sit day dreaming that they will be back some day, it's forever. The republicans didn't give the jobs away,....

Since the beginning of time it's been about competition. Competition and business conditions. For years Salem was a center of industry, some great products used around the world came from right here. Mean while there were other parts of our county, region, and state that were depressed. Other parts of the country were just horrible places to live because you couldn't get work, no industry, or they had a bad crop. Oh didn't mention the rest of the world did I? Did we really care, probably not, in our world we were doing just fine and since we were the only folks doing whatever we did, it was thought that the money would just keep rolling in forever. Then some fellow in one of these poor depressed regions, got together with some investors and convinced them that he could make his product in North Carolina cheaper than in Youngstown, Ohio. Let's for the sake of discussion call the mystery product Steel. The north had a corner on this market, transportation, skilled labor,......

What about competition? Concerned and Grant have it right. If you want to make a better wage you have to compete. If your company wants to do better they have to compete. The reason business after business in the Salem area have failed is because they are no longer able to compete. Are you paying attention ladybug? Steel in this part of the country started to fail in this part of the country started to fail in the 60's and 70's because it couldn't compete. Have I said competition enough yet?

A State Supreme Court justice has ruled that Acquest developer William L. Huntress can move forward with his lawsuit contending that the Town of Amherst illegally interfered with his ability to develop property on Wehrle Drive.
Huntress was branded a "tree killer" by neighbors and a lawbreaker by town and federal Environmental Protection Agency officials for removing thousands of trees on the 26-acre property without permission.
The lawsuit, however, refers to actions taken by the Town Board prior to these activities. It is one of five outstanding suits - four civil and one criminal - involving Huntress and his Amherst properties.
In a decision issued by State Supreme Court Justice John A. Michalek last week, Huntress has grounds to move forward to trial regarding his contention that the town illegally interfered with his ability to develop the site and essentially robbed him of his rights as a property owner.
"[Michalek's findings] are finally a recognition of some court that there are not only legitimate, but actual, reasons why Acquest was significantly wronged," said Matthew D. Miller, a lawyer for Huntress.
Michalek's decision stems from a case dating back to a suit filed in 2006 by Huntress in federal court, where Huntress contended that his Wehrle properties were unconstitutionally taken from him and rendered not developable by town and federal officials. The case was dismissed on procedural grounds in 2009.
Huntress then filed a revised and expanded version of the suit in State Supreme Court six months later against the Town of Amherst and individual Town Board members.
Huntress had bought two adjacent parcels of land on Wehrle in 1997, when both he and town officials were unaware of a 50-year moratorium dating from 1983 that prevented prospective developers along the stretch of Wehrle from tapping into the sewer line.
The town initially agreed to help Huntress seek a waiver from the EPA to let him build an office park on the property but changed its mind in 2006. Many lawsuits followed. Huntress is now battling suits for the Wehrle property and a parcel at Millersport Highway and Transit Road.
Regarding the 2009 lawsuit that Michalek ruled on last week, the judge dismissed five of nine contentions by Huntress.
"What remains are 95 percent of our causes of action that have teeth," Miller said.
They include contentions that the town took his property without just compensation, violated his rights to due process and did not give his company equal treatment to others who were allowed to tap into the Wehrle sewer line prior to his request.
Michalek said Huntress has grounds to sue former Supervisor Satish B. Mohan and former Council Member Daniel J. Ward personally for punitive damages.
Deputy Town Attorney Alan P. McCracken said the town is glad the judge dismissed five of Huntress' contentions. Both he and Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein said the town will likely appeal the rest of the decision. A trial scheduled for next week has been postponed.
The EPA has two pending lawsuits against Huntress regarding alleged wetlands violations at both the Wehrle and Millersport properties. The U.S. Department of Justice also has indicted Huntress on alleged Clean Water Act violations.
In response, Huntress has sued the EPA and six federal officials, accusing them of conducting a "vindictive, spurious, retaliatory and overzealous prosecution" that led to the criminal charges against him.

The implementation of full body scans and pat downs by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as part of security enhancements at our nation's airports will cause 48% of Americans and 42% of more frequent fliers to choose a different mode of transportation when possible, a recent Zogby International Poll finds.
Overall, 61% of the 2,032 likely voters polled from Nov. 19 to Nov. 22, oppose the use of full body scans and TSA pat downs. Republicans (69%) and Independents (65%) oppose in greater numbers than Democrats (50%).
Of those polled, 52% believe the enhanced security measures will not prevent terrorist activity, almost half (48%) say it is a violation of privacy rights, 33% say they should not have to go through enhanced security methods to get on an airplane, and 32% believe the full body scans and TSA pat downs to be sexual harassment. This is in line with frequent fliers (fly more than once every 3 months), as 53% say the enhanced measures will not prevent terrorist activity, 48% believe it's a violation of their privacy rights, 41% say they should not have to go through it to get on an airplane, and 35% believe it is sexual harassment.
What do you think? Have you had or seen an incident?
