The race is on to see which falls faster: gas prices or Toyota's Prius sales.
Toyota had hoped to sell 250,000 Prius hybrids in its four various configurations this year, an impressive figure that would demonstrate how Americans are embracing the need for fuel savings.
But Toyota's top executive in the U.S., Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz, says the goal may be endangered. The cause: falling gas prices.
"It'll be a challenge," Lentz said of meeting the goal in an interview with Bloomberg News in New York. "We'll continue to push Prius and Prius family, but if it ends up that demand is less than the sales forecast, that may be adjusted."
What's interesting is the reason he thinks the goal may be hard to attain: falling gas prices. As prices fall, people are less inclined to buy a high-mileage hybrid.
Even though families may hold on to their new car for at least four years, as long as they are typically making payments, buyers apparently still react to whatever the prices are on the pump at the time they buy. Low gas prices hurt Prius just like high gas prices imperil sales of large, fuel-thirsty crossover SUVs and performance cars.
Bloomberg points out that Toyota sold about 236,000 Priuses in the U.S. last year, so its goal this year isn't all that far out of reach. It has four versions: The original hybrid, the plug-in hybrid, the V wagon and the C sporty small car.

Semiconductor materials and products firm ATMI has acquired Belgian biotech Artelis, which specializes in the development of bioprocesses and technologies for cell culture research and manufacturing scale-up. ATMI says the acquisition will add complementary biopharmaceutical process expertise to its existing capabilities.
ATMI was an early investor in Artelis and has been partnering with the firm since 2006 on the development of disposable technologies for life science research and manufacturing. "Artelis represents a compelling strategic fit for us and expands ATMI's commitment to the life sciences market," comments Mario Phiips, svp and general manager at ATMI LifeSciences. "While they're still at an early stage from a commercial ramp standpoint, their close collaboration with customers and world-class results in cell-line development and cell culture technology allow us to provide the biopharmaceutical sector with the industry's most comprehensive single-use solutions and technical support."
Artelis specializes in the development of disposable systems for cell culture. The firm's flagship product is the iCELLis™ 1000 bioreactor for protein and virus production, launched in 2010. Developed as a high cell-density, disposable cell culture platform, the iCELLis system achieves and maintains high cell densities on macrocarriers, providing 1,000 sq/m of cell-friendly growth support in a compact fixed-bed system, Artelis claims. The firm maintains the high-cell densities maintained by the bioreactor system effectively provides a 20- to 100-fold increase in volumetric productivity in comparison with conventional stirred tanks. As a result, the system allows the production of Phase III clinical batches in laboratory-style facilities, and can be used for both suspended and adherent cells with the same implementation method.
ATMI's business is divided into its semiconductor and life sciences operations. The latter segment, established as a collaboration with Artelis, specializes in the development of single-use bioprocess systems and consumables for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, including single-use disposable storage systems, mixers and bioreactors.

Tahoe Valley Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Irene Kaelin asked her group of 30 students Monday to raise their hands if they'd heard about what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last week. Twenty-nine hands shot up. All but four of those students had already talked to their parents about the shooting, and Kaelin said she recommend that the others do the same while also limiting their television exposure. "We just talked about it for a few minutes, because you could talk about it all day. When I did bring it up, I was tearing up. All we can say is you're safe here, we have things in place and you need to talk to your families," Kaelin said. A couple of the students said they'd cried when they saw images of the children on television after Friday's school shooting that left 26 people dead, but Kaelin kept the discussion short and steered the class away from details. Kaelin, who teaches in a portable classroom, said she sometimes feels like a "sitting duck" with only one door and no coat closets. She's started thinking about what she would do if she was ever faced with a situation like the educators at Sandy Hook Elementary confronted last week. "I looked at all my students and thought, 'You're not my sons and daughters, but you are my kids and I would do anything for you.' I thought about it all weekend. Columbine and Virginia Tech were horrible, but being an elementary school teacher, I cannot wrap my mind around it," she said. Schools in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District have been practicing lockdown drills for years, but Superintendent James Tarwater said they've hired a consultant to review any vulnerabilities and present the findings to the school board in January. The active response management strategy will focus on refining safety measures at the schools. There are already 60 security cameras in the district, but that number might rise as LTUSD increases vigilance, particularly at the elementary schools. The district will also look at strengthening entrances by monitoring walk-ins more closely and ensuring that there's adequate fencing around the properties. Some of the changes will take place immediately while others won't happen for months or years, Tarwater said. Building a wall at Sierra House Elementary School so motorists can't see children playing from the road won't happen anytime soon, nor will installing one-way glass windows that let teachers and students see out but prevent the public from seeing in, but they're examples of new security measures that the district plans to implement. "We take this very seriously. We'll keeping evolving, but it's a fine balance. We don't want to look like a jail, but safety is our No. 1 priority," Tarwater said. For John Friedrich, who has a daughter in first-grade at the Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School, it's important not to scare the children needlessly. He hasn't broached the subject with his daughter yet, but when he does, he said he'll assure her that there are people working to keep her safe. "We feel very confident in our local schools and in our community. We're not fearful, but we'd assure her that there's lots of us working to ensure a more peaceful world," Friedrich said. Friedrich co-founded Small World — an organization dedicated to creating a global community of families committed to ensuring a peaceful world for children everywhere —to help teach children empathy and compassion. It starts at the school level, but he said he'd eventually like to see major policy changes when it comes to gun control and other acts of violence. "My perspective is that the right of children to live needs to be elevated above the right to own semi-automatic weapons," he said. Friedrich organized a candlelight vigil Saturday night out of compassion for the parents of the children killed Friday. It's important to show those people that they have supporters who are standing with them all over the world, he said. Tami Africa also doesn't want to scare her 6-year-old son. When and if he inquires about the shooting, she plans to first ask him what he fears and then reassure him. But she won't bring up the subject first. "I'm not going to tell him, and so far that seems to be the consensus among parents with kids his own age. He's not old enough to really comprehend or deal with that," Africa said.

Reference is made to that certain trust deed made by Pamela S. Martin, as grantor, to First American Title Insurance Company, as trustee, in favor of Siuslaw Bank as beneficiary, dated July 23, 2008, and recorded on July 25, 2008, as Instrument No. 2008065638 of the Official Records of Washington County, Oregon, and that certain Assignment of Trust Deed dated July 23, 2008 and recorded July 25, 2008 as Instrument No. 2008065639 wherein Oregon Housing and Community Services Department, State of Oregon, was designated as the successor beneficiary, covering the following described real property situated in said county and state, to-wit:
Lot 112, MEADOWBROOK NO. 2, Washington County, Oregon.
Both the Beneficiary and the Trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said Trust Deed and a Notice of Default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.735(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is Grantors' failure to pay when due the following sums: Grantor's failure to pay monthly installment payments due under the Promissory Note in the amount of $1,389.00 for the months of May, June, July, August and September 2012.
By reason of said default, the Beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by said Trust Deed immediately due and payable, said sums being the following, to-wit: the principal balance of $183,734.44 together with accrued interest through August 27, 2012 in the amount of $4,248.63 (interest continues to accrue at the rate of $28.7846 per diem from August 28, 2012 until paid), plus late fees in the amount of $283.00, and such other costs and fees as are due under the note or other instrument secured, and as are provided by statute.
WHEREFORE, notice is hereby given that the undersigned Trustee will on February 8, 2013, at the hour of 10:00 o'clock A.M., in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, at Washington County Courthouse steps, 145 NE Second Avenue, City of Hillsboro, County of Washington, Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in said described real property which the Grantors had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said Trust Deed, together with any interest which the Grantors or their successors in interest acquired after the execution of said Trust Deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the Trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the Trust Deed reinstated by payment to the Beneficiary of the entire amount when due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by rendering the performance required under the obligation or Trust Deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with Trustee's and attorney's fees not exceeding the amounts provided by ORS 86.753.
In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes the plural, the word "Grantors" includes any successor in interest to the Grantors as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said Trust Deed, and the words "Trustee" and "Beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any.

According to a recent report on the gene-amplification technologies market from Global Industry Analysts, there are close to 70,000 bioresearchers using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in North America alone. They spend $740 million annually on instruments and reagents. Annual growth, notes the market report, is about 16% and may even increase as the major hurdle for small companies trying to enter the field—basic PCR technology patent protection—expired last year. The global market is forecast to reach $1.9 billion by 2015.
Several technological improvements and innovations, as well as new applications and procedures, are driving the field, but there are also roadblocks to overcome for continued growth.
Tissue heterogeneity, where many types of cells respond differently to stimuli, is major complication in biomolecular research. When studying the effect of a certain environmental change or the response to a drug only some of the cells typically respond and they may do so differently. Nonresponsive cells confound the measurement response and obscure analysis.
In other cases the response of a particular rare cell, such as a pluripotent cell or a mutated cell, may be of prime interest. Cells from body fluids can be labeled and sorted on the basis of surface markers using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Many tissues can be carefully disintegrated into individual cells for FACS analysis.
A sorter can then be used to deposit individual cells of the appropriate kind for further analysis by qPCR. Other means to extract individual cells are aspiration and laser capture.
Once individual cells have been collected, reagents compatible with downstream reverse transcription and qPCR are available for gentle lysis. Also, robust methods for pre-amplification are available. Pre-amplification is a step in single-cell expression profiling that is performed after reverse transcription but before qPCR to amplify the cDNA moderately.
Typically multiplex PCR runs for a limited number of cycles. This produces a sufficient number of copies of each cDNA so that the sample can be aliquoted for parallel singleplex PCR analysis of all the targeted genes. With this workflow up to 96 transcripts per cells have been measured in several studies related to early development and differentiation.
Pre-amplification is, of course, not limited to single cells, but can be used any time the amount of starting material is limited. This makes it possible to study the expression of a reasonably large number of transcripts per sample, and we already see more usage of qPCR in exploratory phases, where the objective is to identify candidate markers for subsequent confirmatory studies.
Of course, qPCR is not close to whole transcriptome profiling, which in the future will be done using microarrays or, even more likely, next-generation sequencing.
Major efforts by leading qPCR companies are focused on developing carefully selected, optimized, and validated assays in sets of 96, 384, and even 2×384 for affordable screening. As opposed to whole transcriptome analysis, this type of selected screening is performed on a larger number of samples than the number of genes analyzed. This makes the analysis more robust.
There are a number of dedicated tools available to identify markers for validation. For example, MultiD Analyses, a company that I co-founded, develops GenEx software for qPCR data mining with multivariate strategies.
With methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical clustering, self organizing maps (SOM), and support vector machines (SVM), the optimum set of markers that distinguishes between classes of samples is selected based on the genes' combined expression profiles. This is a much more powerful approach than selecting markers individually based on differential expression only.
Starting with a smaller number of preselected markers (than essentially the whole transcriptome) has provided the important advantage that false positive rates are greatly reduced and confounding noise is substantially smaller. Important markers not present in the original set can be identified by correlation based on function, property, or disease mining databases. Two of the most powerful products for studying qPCR data are IPA and the iReport, both from Ingenuity Systems.

The parade began under a "threatening sky" that afternoon.
At 4:30 on May 6, a battalion of cadets from the Military College escorted the men of the Palmetto Guard through the streets of Charleston, a procession that stirred such excitement that even the weather could not dissuade the city's ladies -- "especially young ladies," the Mercury reported -- to a grand ceremony at Institute Hall.
There the Guard was presented with a blue silk flag, fringed with gold tassels, that sported a palmetto and the Guard's motto. It was a gift from the women of Charleston in appreciation of the troops' heroic actions in the battle of Fort Sumter. When Lt. Col. Wilmot G. DeSaussure of the South Carolina Artillery presented it to Capt. George Cuthbert, he urged the Guard to "make their future deeds worthy of their glorious past."
That glorious past would scarcely be forgotten anytime soon. The flag presentation was the second ceremony for the Palmetto Guard at Institute Hall in the past week. The prior Thursday, the men had been given a massive gold medal in a ceremony attended by Gen. Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard and the governor.
In the three weeks since the battle, there had been little talk in Charleston that did not focus on the glory of the Fort Sumter victory. But despite reports that the battle signaled the start of the war, little had happened since.
Still, gossip and rumor continued to run rampant through the city. The Mercury reprinted articles from Northern newspapers that suggested the United States already was plotting to re-take the fort and all the other federal property seized by the Confederates in Charleston.
The Mercury stirred partisan rancor by running the New York Tribune's summary of the skirmish, which referred to the Southerners as "seceders" who would soon be forced to "abandon their great conspiracy."
"We mean to conquer them -- not merely defeat, but to conquer, to SUBJUGATE them -- and we will do this the most mercifully, the more speedily we do it," the Tribune opined, according to the Mercury.
The newspaper responded with its own proselytizing, claiming in a front-page editorial that "God is with us" and would punish the South's enemies -- basically, Northern politicians.
"By tariffs, navigation laws, internal improvements, and infernal appropriations, they swallowed up all our revenues," the editorial said. "In their vanity and pride of heart they mocked at God -- forgot him -- mocked at us -- and now seek to destroy us."
For the rest of the month, Charleston was consumed with tragedies unrelated to politics or war. First, a fishing boat christened Dixie capsized in the harbor, killing two fisherman, an incident the Mercury called a "melancholy casualty."
On May 24, a slave got into a gunfight with the local militia. A guard had spotted Anthony -- "belonging to the estate of J.C. Beamann," the Mercury reported -- out late without a pass near the intersection of Meeting and Chalmers. When an officer tried to arrest Anthony, he fought back and eventually pulled a pistol. Before he was subdued, the slave had fired three shots.
No one was injured, but the next week a local court sentenced Anthony to six months solitary imprisonment and "twenty paddles on the first day of each month," the newspaper reported.
By the time Anthony finished serving his sentence, he would find Charleston irrevocably changed.
A growing Confederacy
Officially, there was no conflict.
The U.S. Congress and President Abraham Lincoln refused to formally declare war on the Confederate States. Their argument was that the United States only made such proclamations against recognized nations, and neither Lincoln nor the U.S. Congress would dignify the Confederacy with such status. To them, all of this was a rebellion -- nothing more.
The Confederate Congress did not quibble with such details, passing a declaration of war in Montgomery, Ala., just before the government moved its capital to Richmond, Va.
Even if the United States did not officially consider itself at war, Lincoln was nonetheless preparing a military buildup. After the battle at Fort Sumter and some trouble in other states, the president called for 75,000 volunteer troops. He asked the men to enlist for a three-month tour.
That, Lincoln thought, would be long enough to re-take all the federal forts and restore the Union.
The president's call for additional troops only escalated tensions in the country. Four Southern states that had resisted the Confederacy's overtures -- Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina -- chose to secede rather than supply troops to fight their neighbors.
The United States was quickly falling apart, and the Confederacy was up to 11 states. The flag flying over Fort Sumter would need additional stars.
Virginia not only provided the Confederacy with a new capital, it quickly became the nexus of the conflict as Northern and Southern troops converged there to intercept one another. There were small skirmishes, but nothing approaching a full battle until June 10 in Bethel Church, Va., on the Chesapeake Bay. The Mercury reported that the Southern troops were outnumbered three-to-one but still claimed an easy victory.
"The enemy were so completely and effectually repulsed, that they are unable to put any other face on the result, and are forced to confess their defeat, route and pursuit into the very streets of Hampton," the paper opined.
By the time this new reached Charleston, the Palmetto Guard was on its way north.
The long goodbye
Three days after the Palmetto Guard was feted at Institute Hall, they were on parade again. The occasion was far less celebratory than their last gathering, although it certainly didn't seem that way from the reaction of Charleston residents.
They set out from South Carolina Hall at 9 p.m. and marched up Meeting Street, "accompanied by at least a thousand friends, a very large proportion of whom were ladies," the Mercury reported. They stopped briefly at Military Hall on Wentworth Street, where the Guard was joined by its escort, a group of cadets and members of the Carolina Light Infantry. The procession then moved north to John Street and the Northeastern Railroad Depot.
And there the city said its good-byes to the Palmetto Guard. Ladies waved their handkerchiefs as a band played strains of "martial music." As the men lined up next to their train cars, someone proposed three cheers for Cuthbert, the Guard's commander.
And then they were gone -- as the Mercury said the next day -- "off to defend the soil of the Old Dominion."
The Confederates also thought the war would be a short one, but for different reasons. After their successes at Fort Sumter and Bethel Church, the Southerners expected a quick victory. Still, they would take no chances. The Confederate Army moved many of its best resources to Virginia, including Beauregard.
As the summer dawned, the city patiently awaited word from the front. When cannon fire echoed across the harbor on June 18, some feared the fighting had drifted south again. But it was only a test of local garrisons.
The next round of shelling came on July 4. Some Charleston residents assumed the forts were celebrating Independence Day -- a rumor local military leaders quickly put to rest. The Mercury suggested that from now on Independence Day would more appropriately be celebrated on Dec. 20.
First casualties
On Friday, July 19, the Mercury reported that "the long-expected conflict between the forces of Beauregard and McDowell has begun" in Virginia.
Actually, the main battle was two days away. Called Bull Run by Union troops and Manassas by Southerners, the engagement disavowed both sides of their pre-conceived notions of a short conflict.
It was a messy battle. Beauregard and Brig. Gen. Irvin McDowell initially tried to out-flank each other -- unsuccessfully -- and finally fell into a clumsy fight. At first, the U.S. troops held the upper hand, but when Confederate reinforcements arrived the momentum shifted.
Spectators from Washington, who picnicked on the outskirts of the battlefield, got more of a show than they expected.
In the bloody fight, the South lost 387 men; the North suffered 460 deaths. Both sides limped away with more than 1,000 wounded.
But the South had won again.
The Mercury would print a dozen or more accounts of the battle -- including some from Northern newspapers -- and pridefully opined that "a battle such as the New World had never yet beheld, has been fought at Manassas."
But the news Charleston residents most anxiously awaited came on July 24. The Mercury reported that the city's first casualties from the battle would arrive at the train station that morning.
"A squadron of mounted troops will receive the remains at the Northeastern railroad depot this morning, and escort them to City Hall, which has been draped in mourning for their reception.
"The remains of the deceased will lie in state for some hours, to enable our citizens to pay their last visit of respect."
The names of local men killed at Manassas trickled out over the next several days -- W.D. Porter, A.F. Ravenel, T.L. Hutchison and W.F. Colcock among them. Local troops marched the bodies of Gen. Bernard Bee and Lt. Col. Benjamin J. Johnson from City Hall to St. Paul's Church. Such ceremonies would soon become all too common in the city.
In the midst of all these funerals, the fight briefly returned to Charleston. On July 28, a privateer christened Petrel was sunk offshore as it was attempting to leave the harbor.
For months, local residents had worried that the U.S. Navy would try to blockade Charleston Harbor. There had been rumors that several U.S.-flagged ships had been spotted off the bar, but there had been no confirmation of those reports until the attack on the Petrel.
The ship had been a U.S. revenue cutter, the Aiken, that was seized after the secession vote and re-christened by a group of local businessmen. By July, the ship had been outfitted for her initial cruise. But the Petrel was only equipped with two guns.
The U.S. frigate St. Lawrence, by contrast, carried 52 guns.
The Petrel had snuck out of the harbor on the night of July 27 and spotted the St. Lawrence at dawn the next morning. Unable to outrun the warship, the Petrel's crew raised a Confederate flag and got off one good shot, hitting the frigate's mainsail. Soon, the St. Lawrence's crew returned fire. Within minutes, the Navy ship landed a shot on the Petrel's bow that ended the battle, such as it was.
Four members of the privateer's crew drowned and the rest were rescued by the St. Lawrence and carried to Philadelphia, where they would stand trial.
The news had greater implication for Charleston. It seemed the U.S. Navy was conducting an unofficial blockade of the port. Between this and the continuing funerals for the Manassas casualties, the realities of war were quickly coming to Charleston.
Next: The battle of Port Royal

A streptococcal screen is a test to detect group A streptococcus, the most common cause of strep throat.
Rapid strep test
The test requires a throat swab. The swab is tested to identify group A streptococcus, the cause of strep throat. It takes about 7 minutes to get the results.
There is no special preparation. Tell your doctor if you are taking, or have recently taken antibiotics.
The back of your throat will be swabbed in the area of the tonsils. This may make you gag.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of strep throat, which include:
A negative strep screen most often means Group A streptococcus is not present. It is unlikely that you have strep throat.
If your doctor still thinks that you may have strep throat, a throat culture will be done.
A positive strep screen most often means Group A streptococcus is present, and confirms that you have strep throat.
Sometimes, the test may be positive, even if you do not have strep. This is called a false-positive result and is more likely if you have a fever or other symptoms of strep throat.
There are no risks.
This test screens for the group A streptococcus bacteria only and will not detect other causes of sore throat.

Tokyo -- World figure skating champion Patrick Chan has insisted his blunders at the Japan Open would serve as a wake-up call as he prepares to defend his crown in the run-up to the 2014 Olympics.
Tokyo -- World figure skating champion Patrick Chan has insisted his blunders at the Japan Open would serve as a wake-up call as he prepares to defend his crown in the run-up to the 2014 Olympics.
Thanks for the article. It's always interesting hearing from Patrick.
Aside from the problems with the jumps his skating looked so fast and I like the new program.
I too like the new program. He looked so pale that I was wondering whether he had this horrid cold which I have . There is a lot of it going around in TO.
I am honestly not worried about him because of his Japan Open performance, which is basically a cheesefest. He is never really solid at the beginning of a season anyway, his jumps always seem lower, the choreo just isn't that fluent yet... But you can count on him when the big competitions are near.
OT -- Hi, Medusa! Glad to see you posting.
I think Patrick is affected by his audience. I believe he can sense that part of the audience doesn't want him to do well, deserved or not, and his performance suffers for it. For him to pop two jumps... it's something that he just doesn't do. Maybe it's just opening jitters, but I feel it has to be more that.
Thanks for the article. I really like what I am seeing in this program - something about the way he is moving with his speed and deep edges, and the use of his neck, shoulders, and arms - they seem so extended (is that the word?). Anyway, I see a lot of potential here.
I find it hard to believe, though, that his jump problems were because he felt off - not trying to be a worrier...but I really, really hope this isn't an injury like Alissa's that he is as of yet unaware of. It was heartening to read that his jumps in practice looked good, though. Wishing Chan all the best this season!
This is not a wake-up call for Patrick or anyone else. It is just another invitation for us to line up at the CoP Kool-aid fountain.
Fall on a 3T = 7.30 points
Fall on a 4T "+ sequence" (there was no sequence; this is CoP-speak. Television announcers are not doing their job in educating the public about the rule, "when is a non-sequence scored as a sequence?" ) = 5.24
Fall on a triple Axel = 6.35
Fall on a triple Lutz "+ sequence" (lol) = 3.18
After fall deductions, that's 18.07 points.
There should be a mercy rule, three falls and they stop the program. (Alissa could have benefitted from this rule at Worlds.)
The only thing Patrick will "wake up" to is the fact that one judge felt, overall. that his skating skills deserved a 9.00, his transitions between falls a 9.00, and that he "executed" his program to the tune of 9.50.
No wonder Patrick can say in the last sentence of the interview that there is "no risk" in trying a quad flip at Canadian nationals. Indeed, there is not.
I know, I know. It is hard to rotate four times in the air and then fall down. Just like the trapeze guy who attempted a quadruple somersault. He had a beautiful release, a position in the air to die for -- too bad about that missed catch.
They should change rules, if you have 4 falls you get free bonus a 5th one, Alissa could have benefited from it as well.
^what I loved about COP when it first came out was the points and score sheets - what I hate (and have for a while), is what MM just pointed out - points for falling AND points for non-existent attempts (the +sequence part). It's ridiculous.
But...I hate to mix (too much) critique of the scoring with critique of a particular skater. For example, Chan's comment about the quad at nationals is him a) playing by the rules, and b) playing in a field he knows he dominates.
The PCs he got this time and gets, and I can only assume him counting on continuing to get them is annoying - but again, until people either judge this part differently (and do so perhaps more than once), I can't see a skater like Chan worrying too much.
All that said - am I in left field for thinking it was more than unsual or just first outing nerves or lack of motivation on that day that he fell - so completely fell - on so many jumps?
Laetitia Hubert! It can be like a reverse Zayak.
Considering all the changes Chan has made, I would have been surprised if he'd skated well. This is a bit extreme, but really kind of to be expected.

The state's highest court announced Monday that it will allow the Niagara Falls Board of Education to appeal a ruling that reinstated a high school guidance counselor fired in 2009 for allegedly violating the district's residency policy.
The directive in the case of Keli-Koran Luchey means that hers is the third case before the Court of Appeals on the Niagara Falls residency rule.
The court previously had agreed to hear cases involving Roxanne A. Adrian, a Niagara Falls High School English teacher, and production control manager Karrie Beck-Nichols.
In February, the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court in Rochester ruled that the district was right to fire Adrian but wrong to fire Luchey. Subsequently, the appellate panel also overturned Beck-Nichols' dismissal.
The school district asked the Court of Appeals to hear the Luchey and Beck-Nichols cases, while New York State United Teachers appealed the Adrian case.
In 2010, judges ruled that the district should not have fired Vincent F. Gigliotti, a general repairer, and Randy M. Krajkowski, an information services employee.
The School Board appealed those rulings, but they were upheld. Gigliotti and Krajkowski were reinstated, as the Court of Appeals refused to take those cases.
The city won a lawsuit over the firing of Judith Smith, a member of the administrators union. It was not appealed.
The school district's record in lawsuits over the residency policy currently stands at two victories and four losses, although three of the cases still could be reversed by the Court of Appeals.

Football Team Announces Postseason Awards
Ball State's football team, under the direction of fourth-year head coach Pete Lembo, honored the 2013 Cardinals at the team's annual Honors Banquet Saturday at the Horizon Convention Center in downtown Muncie.
Keith Wenning and Nathan Ollie were named the John Magnabosco Award winners as the team's most valuable players on offense and defense, respectively.

He led the Cardinals with 26 kick returns for 677 yards and a 26.0 average. Smith, who has been co-recipient of the award the past two seasons, tallied 10 punt returns for 84 yards on the season.
Joseph Fazio received the Gene Booker Academic Award. The Academic Award has been given annually since 1978 and was named in honor of Gene Booker for the first time in 2011. Booker was a member of Ball State's 1949 football team, which is the only unbeaten and untied team in the school's 87 years of football.
Fazio, who graduated last May and spent the fall working toward a master's in business administration and owns a 3.769 cumulative grade-point average on Ball State's 4.0 scale, played in 13 games in 2013. After joining the team as a walk-on prior to the 2010 season, Fazio played in the final 26 games of his career as a free safety and on special teams.
Senior defensive tackle Joel Cox received the Mark Hays Inspiration Award, which is given to the person who demonstrates the greatest ability to motivate and inspire his teammates. The award is given in the memory of the late son of Kermit and the late Mary Ellen Hays, who spent their lives as fans and supporters of Ball State's athletics program.
Cox managed 43 tackles in 2013 with two tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery. Cox tallied his sixth career blocked kick when he blocked an extra point attempt at Eastern Michigan. He posted a career best six tackles at North Texas, vs. Kent State and vs. Miami University this season.
Zane Fakes was awarded the Paul Schudel Strength and Conditioning Award, which is given to honor Ball State's football coach from 1985-94 who led the Cardinals to the 1989 and 1993 MAC Championships. He guided Ball State to its first ever NCAA Division IA bowl games with appearances in the 1989 California Raisin Bowl and the 1993 Las Vegas Bowl.

Fakes, who was named to the All-MAC First Team as a tight end, managed 41 receptions for 410 yards and two touchdowns. Fakes earned his bachelor's degree from Ball State last May and earned Capitol One Academic All-American honors this past fall, while pursuing his master's degree.
The Bill Meitzler Scout Team Players of the Year were Denzel Pierce on offense and John Godfrey on defense. This award is given in honor of the former Cardinal Varsity Club Board member and longtime fan and supporter of Ball State football.
Connor Ryan, a senior wide receiver, received the Dave McClain Leadership Award. The McClain Award is given in memory of the deceased Dave McClain, who was Ball State's head football coach from 1971-77 and guided the Cardinals to a 46-25-3 overall record. He guided the Cardinals into the Mid-American Conference and NCAA Division I football. McClain led Ball State to the 1976 MAC Championship in only the Cardinals second season in the conference. McClain's final three Ball State teams posted a combined 26-7 overall mark and a 13-4 MAC mark.
Ryan, who missed two games and was limited for the majority of the season due to injury in 2013, managed 10 catches for 68 yards.
Ball State's football program honored six with Ray Louthen Positional Awards, which honor the memory of Louthen, who was Ball State's head football coach from 1962-67 and the school's athletics director from 1970-81.
Jeffery Garrett (defensive back), Kenneth Lee (linebacker), Jonathan Newsome (defensive line), Willie Snead (wide receiver), Jahwan Edwards (running back) and Jordan Hansel (offensive line) were honored this season.
The Cardinals tallied a 10-3 overall record in 2013 and appeared in the GoDaddy Bowl, marking the school's second straight bowl appearance. The 10 wins marked only third time in the school's 89 years of football a team has posted at least 10 victories in a single season. The back-to-back bowl games marks only the second time for that to occur in the school's history, while the seven MAC wins marked only the fifth time to reach that number since joining the league in 1975.

WOOO BLEACH YEAH the best battle was between ichigo and byakyu wowzers that got goosebumps down my spine bigtime ooo dude you spelt bankai wrong XD

Ichigo fighting Kenny was great, but when Ichigo's Bankai kicked Byakuya's ass I just couldn't sit still. It was so freakin' cool to watch that fight. I just started the next story arc, and it's kinda different, but still good.

How does everyone think it's going to end for Aizen? Will ichigo kill him alone or have help or what are your predictions?
I think Aizen will come into play way far down the road. If you haven't seen the end of the soulreaper story arc, don't read the rest of this. After Aizen and the other 2 escape, I don't think we'll see them until one of the episodes well into the hundreds somewhere. I'd say around episode 110 or so. They may be mentioned now and then, but we won't see them until then. I am just guessing this, as I'm only up to episode 71.
well he comes into play im up to 154...it's amazing the power that aizen has is unbelieveable i can't believe it...well to the point anyone that liked ichigo with the mask you guy's....and girl's will love it.if you want to see it and talk about it go to anime6.org"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
i think he'll have all he's friends help him satsujin ken mumyo jinpu ryu mizuchi (With out light, Let the Divine Wind Flow)
i have a fealing that it wont be him who fights him first like in DBZ in the cell games well this is just what im saying but i think it will end like every charecter prety much has fot him and ichigo comes in to save the day but thats just me
When you get farther into the series you'll have to let me know what you think I don't know what going to happen, and i hate the fourth Espoda, watch ep 162, that's just the latest part of it.
well i'll try to get to that ep today i will defenitly keep you posted...what ep are you on...?"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Bleach is awesome. It's one of my favorite anime series right now, but I'm just watching it on Adult Swim so I'm only as far as the latest ep they've shown. Which is seventy-something I believe. I'm going to start getting the manga and the dvd's soon however, and I have the PSP game on the way now (import). I thought Renji was dead after the last ep, I'm glad he's not because I like his character a lot. Kenpachi is the man though. I still don't have Ichimaru Gin figured out quite yet. Anyway I should probably step out of this thread before I spoil something for myself, lol.
You should really watch the eps online, it's subtitled so ou have to read fast, but if you're like me i couldm't wait for it to get dubbed. The original Japaneese version is better anway.
I prefer Japanese version (with subtitled better) not sure why.. but sometimes I think it is down to the dubbed training they receive there. Yeah, a preview of an episode is always good
the voice of the charecters is what im blown away about hehe
i agree 100%"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
For those of you who have seen the first movie what do you think of it? I thought it was pretty good.
haven't seen it was it good,were can i find it??"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Anime 6 has it. It occuses outside the series so if you haven't seen all the episodes it's no probnlem, it's called Memories of Nobody.
i'll watch it right now.what about the second movie??"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I don't know when the diamond dust rebelion will be available, i haven't seen that one anywhere yet.
keep me posted please."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
The Diamond Dust Rebellion? I was looking for the first movie on ebay, and they have a 2 movie set, Memories of Nobody and The Sealed Sword Frenzy.
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
$10, with $10 shipping. The only thing stopping me from getting them is they are coming from Malaysia. I really try not to buy from bootleggers, but they are usually located in Hong Kong.
ok so bootleg anime isn't that good??"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
No. Bootleg anime sucks. The picture is bad, the subbing is horrible, just overall quality is not there, not to mention that it's an illegal copy. Some things to watch out for: If it's coming from Hong Kong, If it seems to good to be true ( ex: I saw an auction for Bleach episodes 1 - 148. On 2 dvds. who can fit 148 episodes of a 30 minute show on 2 dvds? and it was only $4) If it says it's Chinese language with english subs. These are the major giveaways if the seller is dealing in bootlegs or not. Just paying attention to these things can make your ebay anime experience a good thing.
thanks for the info...can you give me any more heads up?"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
A good quality sword on ebay will cost more than $20.
i saw a nice bleach sword for 60 is that a good deal??its his zengetsu not bonkai."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I have seen a few of them on ebay, and really thought about getting one just because. If you do get one, really look at the specs to make sure it's what you think it is. I almost bought a Cutting Moon Zangetsu, but didn't when I saw that it was only 28" long overall. There are a couple of sellers on there that have a Tensa Zangetsu for sale, but watch on those, too. Some of them are selling wooden versions for cosplay.
I also just discovered that Amazon.com has Bleach swords for sale as well. The only problem is that they don't tell you anything about it. They post a picture and a price and that about it.
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
you got that right
You are probably right i have just heard it referred to as that title. I know that Hitsuguya is in the spotlight alot in the second movie, if i was misinformed i alologize.
no need to apologize. I didn't even know about the first movie until you brought it up. finding the second one as well was just a bonus. Besides, it's not unusual for the name to be one thing in Japan and another here. Look at Fullmetal Alchemist. Hagane no Renkinjutsushi in japanese, means Alchemist of Steel. Fullmetal Alchemist just sounds sexier.
I just was looking at some bleach stuff and the sword frenzy was a special in an snime festival in Japan so you gotta tell me what that' one's about. I am so obsessed at the moment and am trying to find the latest episode right now and ran across that.
Apparently the Soul Society had someone sealed away and forgotten about, but he made it back. Ichigo runs into him and has his spiritual powers drained, and the Soul Society helps him defeat the guy. The synopsis that I saw was about that long, a whopping two sentences. They really didn't say much.

Singer Keith Urban Rocks the West Village
Country music artist Keith Urban performed a "free" concert in the West Village in Dallas Wednesday night, while a crew shot scenes for a video. The unpublicized event still drew more than 1,000 people to get a look at the Austrailian-born singer. I made this photo while standing on a chair located behind a sound board near the Magnolia Theater. The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV camera, and 70 to 200 zoom lens, where mounted atop a monopod that I held over my head to shoot over all the fans' mobile phone cameras that were also held high to record the event). I aimed using the LCD display on the rear of the camera and shot at 1/320 of a second at f2.8.
Urban is in town to perform a 7-minute-long show during halftime of the New Orleans Saints Vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Thanksgiving.

So the solution is what Grant? Legalize it, all drugs? Ignore it? Sweep the results of what it causes under a rug? Ignore the crime growth? Legalized or non legalized it is still going to be an expensive habit. Addictions will only grow. Some of these drug habits are two or three hundred bucks a day depending on those addictions. That habit and costs is just as much your problem as it theirs. The programs to cure are failing. Police are not even dealing with new crime they are just trying to keep up with the old. The court systems work against them. So what is the solution? It is better to do something Grant, than to do nothing.

If you look at the shape of the head on the man on the left you will see a distinct pattern of meth. They slolwy turn into a football type shape. Meth is everywhere and can be cooked in small quantities right under your nose. Tweakers sometimes leave clues outside the home and that is where the class comes in. No confrontations, just obsevations can be made. You can see the female is starting the same pattern of facial change. We must have a few tweakers/pickers reading for info on police leads here.

Qcityfan, did you read about this one? This should put a smile on your face.
That city councilman that was busted a couple of years ago in Indiana for his $300 dollar a day "drug addiction" and arrested by his local police. One of the local police officers confessed up to why and how they caught this POS. He kept continually voting down any effort made to try and curb the drug problems growing in that city. His actions were so weird. The finally put a sting on his hiney after a tip (from an influential resident) and they nailed him.
Kind of like blows apart the myth that only "poor" people have drug habits! LOL

I'd like to know who 'disagreed' with the first two comments posted below; that is simply bizarre.
Next, this situation once again reinforces the idea that we need to dramatically increase the funding for police and drug interdiction in Salem to completely get rid of the crime element for good. And we can do that by reallocating substantial resources from the fire department and put it into the police department, WHERE WE REALLY NEED IT.
For the sake of saving the city, please GET ON WITH IT!!!!!!

Derby Racers Promote Healthy Lifestyle to Students
Submitted: 01/17/2013
Story By Shardaa Gray
- Hard work and dedication will make you a winner.
That's the message snowcross racers want kids to hear.
Derby racers visited Northland Pines High School and Middle School today.
The kids went wild.
Ross Martin is a snowcross racer.
This is his first time speaking with students.
"It's pretty amazing how excited they are to meet us." said Martin.
"A few of them seen us race on the track, but never really get to talk to us with our helmets off and see who we are as a person."
But that's the not the only reason the racers were there.
Jessie Bortolotti is the director of food services at Northland Pines District.
She wants student to know success starts at the table.
"It was really important for the kids to see that if you want to be successful and you want to make it into professional sports," said Bortolotti.
"Really anything in life, you really need to follow a good healthy diet, excise and have a good routine. Be positive. Be confident about yourself. You can be someone who wins the next championship."
This is the first time the district had racers speak with students.

A Northwoods yoga studio offers more than just tranquility
Submitted: 09/29/2016
- The owner of a Northwoods yoga and massage studio believes her business offers more than just a place to stretch.
It's a way to change the body image of the community.
St. Germain's Shanna Stein committed herself to yoga when she was 18.
She lost more than 100 ponds and gained a new view of her body image.
Now 14 years later, she is using that new view to help others.
"You set these goals and they're so far away and you're like someday," said Stein.
"And now it's here and it's happening so it's just kind of surreal."
Because of her past, Stein is committed to providing a space to uplift people.
She created a monthly wondrous woman class, providing a place for women to encourage each other's body in a positive way.
"When I look at people coming into my studio and when I see their struggles and what they're going through I know because I've been there," said Stein.

Oneida County wineries are successful despite the unusual climate
Submitted: 09/29/2016
Play Video
- No matter the weather, a glass of wine can be enjoyed year round. Even in the bitter cold, there are wineries in Oneida County that still offer tastings and wine tours.
"When people think of a winery, they do think of grape wines. They're kind of surprised, pleasantly surprised when they come to our winery and see fruit wines," said Terri Schenck from Three Lakes Winery.
The Oneida County wineries are a little bit different than what you'd see in Napa Valley.
"It is a farm so we are working on different crops, black currants, apples and an experimental vineyard," said Linda Welbes from Brigadoon Winery in Tripoli.
With the unique flavors of wines, Three Lakes Winery and Brigadoon Winery often see a lot of visitors from out of town.
"They usually say, 'I didn't know how much I needed this.' They relax, they unwind whether it's summer time or fall, just to sit outdoors when it's beautiful, it's peaceful, it's quiet," said Welbes.
Three Lakes Winery has a lot of history behind their building.
"The actual winery itself is an old Chicago Northwestern Train Depot that was built in 1880. There was a tornado or wind storm that happened in 1924 that destroyed the building," said Schenck.
The building was rebuilt shortly after. Every fall the winery hosts cranberry marsh tours.
"There are several bogs in the area and it's interesting for people to be able to go and see a bog and see how the cranberries are harvested and what goes into making cranberry wine," said Schenck.
With winter right around the corner, the crops won't be producing much.
"The crops, they are what they are. It's farming so there's not much you have to do and you just hope for good weather. Lots of snow cover, that helps," said Welbes.
The Three Eagle Trail runs right into the parking lot of Three Lakes Winery. That brings in a lot of traffic year-round.
"In the winter time it turns into the snowmobile trail. We will get a lot of snowmobile traffic in the winter time and a lot of foot traffic, hiking, biking people in the summer time," said Schenck.

Sixth grade positivity conference

Play Video
- 300 Vilas County sixth-graders joined together against drugs and alcohol in St. Germain Thursday.
The kids got to hang out with peers they will be going to high school with in a couple of years.
Though it all looked like fun and games, each exercise opened the floor to more serious topics like cyber-bullying, drug use, and underage drinking.
"There are little things that we are planting seeds and as those seeds are planted, later on others can help it grow as well," said UW Extension Youth Agent Nancy Ann Miller.
Throughout the day, the middle schoolers rotated through hands-on positive activities.
Kids were even able to talk to Nicolet College about future career plans.
At one station, the leaders showed off Native American traditions with drumming and dancing to get the middle schoolers to open up.
"They just have a riot. You ask them what's the best thing and they say everything!" said Miller.
This is the twelfth year the positivity conference joined at St. Germain Park.
Conference coordinators say the end goal is to leave the kids with a lifelong memory of the Northwoods.

Her work provided an unlikely gift for the families of those who fought and died for America in Iraq.
The work was not for the faint of heart.
But when Jessica L. Goodell and members of the Marine Corps' Mortuary Affairs platoon completed their job, loved ones back home could be certain those who had made the ultimate sacrifice had been gathered up and treated with the utmost dignity.
Yet the work took its toll.
The platoon was officially tasked with "recovering and processing" military personnel and, as well, Iraqi civilians who had been killed, often by insurgents' roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices.
Seven years have passed since Goodell returned to civilian life, and in that time she has devised a strategy to escape the darkness brought on by the memories of war.
It is, in a sense, a gift to herself.
Goodell is a second-year counseling psychology doctoral student at the University at Buffalo.
"I chose this field because I did not want to live my life plagued with post-traumatic stress disorder," the 29-year-old said.
Her strategy to live in the light is working.
But every day, she says, she thinks about her service in Iraq during 2004.
"We would get a call that a Marine was down. Then we'd go out on a convoy to the site. We would gather every single piece of remains. From there, we'd bring the remains back to our bunker, where we would document and sort the remains before placing them in an aluminum transfer case. We tied an American flag onto the coffin and send them home."
Because Marines live by the promise that no Marine, alive or dead, gets left behind, Goodell said, it was imperative to be thorough. "It's ingrained in us, and now that I am back, I have really come to understand and gain a perspective in what we did."
That brings her a sense of comfort, knowing that the dead were returned home to the best of the platoon's ability.
Even in the most trying of circumstances when there were multiple deaths, she said, she and her platoon members never lost sight of the fact that they were handling "sons, fathers, husbands – somebody's loved ones."
In August 2001, just weeks before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, she had enlisted with a goal of working as a tank crew member.
"I was told that women were not allowed on tanks. So I picked the most masculine job I was allowed to take, and that was working as a diesel mechanic. I was 18 and with an attitude and graduated at the top of my diesel engineering class."
In 2003, when she returned from a two-year tour in Okinawa, she said, other members of her mechanics platoon had already served in Iraq, and that bothered her.
"Real Marines go to war. That's what I thought. I put pressure on myself, but I wasn't going to be able to go as a mechanic. The Marines already had as many mechanics there as they needed. So the only way to go to Iraq was to volunteer for a different position. The Mortuary Affairs platoon presented the first opportunity I had to volunteer."
In retrospect, Goodell says she had no idea what she was in for. "They train you, but nothing can prepare you."
After she returned from Iraq at the end of 2004, Goodell spent her final year at Twentynine Palms Marine Base in Southern California. With her contract up, she decided it was time to return to civilian life.
"Iraq had been challenging."
And the memories would be even more challenging.
"I was living in a dark place," she said.
But in time, she would co-author a book on her war experiences with John Hearn, her sociology professor at Jamestown Community College.
The book, she said, actually started out as a journal to help her sort through her war experiences. "John had told me that sometimes if you can arrange your memories in a coherent narrative, it is easier for the brain to process that information," she said.
That experience, Goodell said, catapulted her into a healing journey.
The book, "Shade It Black: Death and After in Iraq," was published by Casemate Publishers and is available at some area bookstores. It can also be purchased online at Amazon.com.
Goodell's story is also part of another book, "Portraits of Service: Looking Into the Faces of Veterans," produced by Patton Publishing.
These days, Goodell says, she lives in Bemus Point, not far from the tranquil shores of Chautauqua Lake in her childhood home, which she recently purchased from her father.
She commutes to UB's North Campus in Amherst and says her journey to becoming a doctor in counseling psychology has been "a process."
What does that mean?
"It's hard work, and I know I am in the right place," she said.
Someday, she says, she hopes to counsel veterans and their families, so that they too can move from darkness into the light.
And what a gift that will be.

Beer that should only be consumed by red necks and college students. Very cheap and is known to be purchased in cases of thirty, aka dirty thirty.
We went to the fraternity party and there were numerous cases of Busch Light.
