When one drives through Luling, it doesn't take long to understand the origin of the town. The train tracks which bisect its downtown point to the crucial role of the railroad in the town's development. Indeed, Luling was created when the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railroad terminated its line in a rural area not far from Plum Creek in 1874. Developers quickly swooped in, including Thomas Pierce of Boston, Massachusetts, who divided much of the land into lots and sold them to newly arriving settlers, many of whom came from nearby towns like Atlanta, Texas, that had been bypassed by the railroad. Luling quickly became a little boom town, reaching a population of 2,000 by the end of 1874. Among the earliest settlers of Luling were a handful of Jewish merchants who set up shop along the newly formed streets flanking either side of the train tracks.
Joseph Josey and family. Photo courtesy of the Institute of Texan Cultures.A list of people who bought Luling's original lots from Pierce contains several Jews, including Joseph Josey, who was perhaps the first Jew to live in the area. A native of Bavaria, Josey lived in Louisiana before moving to Texas in 1861. By 1870, Josey lived in Lockhart. Four years later, he moved fifteen miles south to the burgeoning town of Luling and opened a grocery and hardware store. Polish-born B.J. Kamien and Prussian-native Louis Lichtenstein also bought lots from Pierce in 1874, with both opening retail stores in Luling. Lichtenstein had moved to Luling after living in Illinois. By 1878, there were several Jewish-owned stores in the town, many of which were partnerships, including Epstein & Miller, Nathan & Finkelstein, and Kleinsmith & Jacobs, who advertised that customers could find "everything from an elephant to a pin" at the store. These Jewish-owned stores often advertised themselves as selling more fashionable and cosmopolitan merchandise for lower prices. An 1889 ad for Kleinsmith & Jacobs noted that one of the owners had recently returned from New York "and other trade centers of the East where he purchased a stock of goods that will charm all beholders," while promising prices that would make their competitors "turn pale with fear and shake with fright."
In 1879, Charles Wessolowsky, a correspondent for the Jewish South newspaper and an organizer for the B'nai B'rith fraternal society, visited Luling and reported that there were ten Jewish families living in the town, which he called "a small place of some importance." He remarked at how quickly the town and its Jewish community had developed. Indeed, Luling Jews established a Jewish cemetery in 1875; its first burial took place four years later after local peddler William Finkelstein was murdered while on the road. In 1879, Luling Jews founded a Hebrew Benevolent Society that oversaw the cemetery and dispensed charity to Jews in need. The society also held services for the high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In 1878, the local newspaper noted that "the Hebrew merchants of Luling" would close their stores for two days for Rosh Hashanah and would hold services in a building downtown. By 1888, Luling Jews were holding high holiday services in the local opera house, which attracted numerous Jews from neighboring towns. Luling Jews continued to hold these services as late as 1900. These services were likely Orthodox since they celebrated Rosh Hashanah for the traditional two days, rather than the one day that Reform Jews observed. Nevertheless, these merchants regularly kept their stores open on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, since that was their biggest day for business.
By the 1880s, Jews played a prominent role in the local economy. In 1882, Jews owned 14 of Luling's 69 businesses, or 20%. Three of these retail businesses were run by women, including Rachel Finkelstein and Sarah Marx, who both owned grocery stores, and Sallie Cohn, who ran her family's general store. Of these fourteen businesses, half were grocery stores while four were general dry goods stores.
Oscar Walcowich and his familyThis Jewish community was close-knit, with many kinship ties between its members. According to the 1880 census, eighteen Jewish families lived in Luling, consisting of 62 total Jews. Several of them lived on the same street. On one block in 1880 lived Herman Joseph, Oscar Walcowich and the families of Reuben Jacobs, Abraham Mazur, Louis Lichtenstein, Hyman Kleinsmith, Marks Epstein, and B.J. Kamien. Oscar Walcowich, whose family would remain in Luling well into the 20th century, owned a livery stable and sold livestock. His son Rube took over the business and ran it until his death in 1946. Another of Oscar's sons, Ish Walcowich, owned a dry cleaning and tailor shop.
One of the most colorful and prominent members of the Luling Jewish community was Reuben Jacobs, who had left his native Poland in 1867, when he was only sixteen years old. After living with a cousin in upstate New York, Jacobs began to peddle his way southward, eventually settling in Atlanta, Texas. When Luling became the railroad terminus in 1874, Jacobs moved to the new town, opening a dry goods store with another Jewish immigrant, Hyman Kleinsmith. Later, Jacobs took over sole control of the store, renaming it R. Jacobs. According to family lore, Reuben once sold goods to the notorious outlaw John Wesley Hardin, who paid him in gold. Jacobs had a reputation as a tough guy, and supposedly the local Ku Klux Klan would avoid marching in front of his store when they paraded in Luling. When Jacobs heard that the Klan was going to target a Catholic friend of his, he let it be known that he would be there with his shotgun to defend him, and the Klan left his friend alone. Once when Reuben got into a fistfight, his opponent tried to pull a knife on him. Reuben's older brother Gurshia used an ax handle to knock the man down, who hit his head on the curb and died. Although a judge exonerated him, Gurshia still fled the city after the dead man's family vowed revenge.
Jacobs experienced tragedy within his own family in 1899. His nephew, Ben Jacobs, fell in love with Reuben's oldest daughter, Mamie, his first cousin. When she rejected his marriage proposal, Ben shot and killed Mamie in Reuben's store before killing himself. The local newspaper described the sad incident, concluding that Ben Jacobs "now lies cold in his grave while his remorseless and crime stricken soul is paying the penalty for the terrible vengeance he wreaked upon a family who had been his benefactors."
Despite these scandalous events, Reuben became a respected and successful local businessman. His department store occupied two buildings in downtown Luling, while he also owned lots of other downtown properties in addition to 22 farms in the area. Reuben's son, Ben Mark Jacobs, joined his father in the store, which became known as R. Jacobs & Sons. Ben Mark was elected mayor of Luling in the 1930s.
As longtime residents, Reuben Jacobs and Oscar Walcowich were the exceptions among the first wave of Jewish settlers in Luling, most of whom left the town within a few years. B.J. Kamien sold off his store's merchandise in 1887, closing his business and leaving Luling. Nathan Marx owned a grocery store in 1880, but had left by 1890. By 1890, only six Jewish businesses remained in Luling, down from fourteen just eight years earlier. The great expectations for Luling's growth just after the railroad was built did not pan out, as the town's population plateaued at 2,000 residents and had even begun to shrink by the turn of the 20th century. The early 1880s would prove to be the apex of Luling's Jewish community, and for the next century, the Jewish population underwent a long, slow decline.
By 1900, only eight Jewish families remained in Luling; by 1920, there were only five families, representing 23 total Jews. After oil was discovered in nearby fields, Luling experienced a brief boom in the 1920s, as its population jumped from 1,500 in 1925 to almost 6,000 in 1935. Its Jewish population grew slightly as well, with eight families, most of whom were the children of Luling's old Jewish residents like Reuben Jacobs and Oscar Walcowich. This boom soon fizzled after the local oil refinery closed in 1939 and moved to Corpus Christi. Luling also lost its standing as a railroad center, as several lines discontinued their routes through the town. By the mid 20th century, only four Jewish families still lived in Luling.
The few Jews who remained struggled to preserve their Jewish traditions. Reuben Jacobs tried to import kosher meat from San Antonio for a while, but it was often spoiled by the time it arrived in Luling. He eventually decided to buy local non-kosher meat. By the early 20th century, Luling Jews no longer held religious services; instead, they would travel to nearby Lockhart for the high holidays through the 1930s. Some also joined congregations in Austin and San Antonio, though most of the Jewish children raised in Luling during the 1930s and 40s did not receive regular religious instruction.
Max & Goldye FinkelMax and Goldye Finkel were among the last Jews to live in Luling. Max had left Lithuania in 1909, and spent time in New York City before moving to Texas in the 1910s. In 1917, he opened a small store in Luling, but quickly closed it to join the Army during World War I. While stationed in San Antonio during the war, he married Goldie Walcowich, the daughter of Luling's Oscar Walcowich. After the war, he opened another store in Luling. According to a feature in the local newspaper published in 1936, "the store grew in prominence and became one of Luling's better established firms." Finkel's department store flourished during Luling's oil boom. In 1934, Finkel became a founding board member of the First Federal Savings & Loan in Luling. Finkel was very involved in civic affairs, supporting many local causes with his time and money.
Finkel was joined in Luling by his older brother Louis and his family. Louis opened the Popular Dry Goods Store, which he ran with his sons Harry and Larry Finkel, who later took over the business on their own, operating it through the 1960s. Max Finkel's brother-in-law, James Suhler, became a partner in the department store for a time, before opening his own automobile service station during World War II.
Max Finkel was a longtime member of the conservative congregation Agudas Achim in San Antonio. He was also active in the joint B'nai B'rith lodge that served Luling, Lockhart, Seguin, and Gonzales. During World War II, Finkel led Passover Seder for Jewish soldiers stationed at the San Marcos Army Airfield. When he died in 1975, he left money to both Agudas Achim and the Reform congregation Beth El in San Antonio. He also gave money to the National Jewish Hospital in Denver, the Jewish National Fund, and the B'nai B'rith Charity Fund. Finkel's will reflects the fact that although he lived in a tiny Jewish community that never had a synagogue or formal congregation, he still maintained a strong Jewish identity and supported national Jewish causes.
Finkel continued to run his downtown store until his death, when the business was closed. The closing of Finkel's, which was the town's last Jewish-owned business, marked the end of a century of Jewish merchants in Luling. His wife Goldye died three years later in 1978. The building that housed Finkel's burned down in 2000, but the semi-enclosed lot is now used as an arena for the watermelon seed spitting contest held each year during Luling's famous Watermelon Thump Festival.
Luling's Jewish cemetery in 2010Today, the small Jewish cemetery north of downtown remains the only vestige of Jewish life in Luling. While Jews were among the earliest settlers in a town that seemed to hold such promise, most soon moved on to other cities and towns that offered greater economic opportunity. The few that remained set down roots and became fixtures in the local community for a large part of the 20th century.

TORONTO -- Pat Watkins is back with the Toronto Argonauts.
The all-star cornerback rejoined the defending Grey Cup champions Wednesday and was with his teammates for the first time since the start of training camp. The six-foot-five, 205-pound defensive back needed the time away to take care of unspecified personal matters in Florida.
"The main thing is I'm here," Watkins told reporters at Varsity Stadium. "Everybody welcomed me back with open arms and that's a really great feeling.
"I'm really relieved that I'm here."
In fact, Watkins said his teammates greeted him with a standing ovation upon his arrival.
"It felt good," he said. "There's still a lot of charisma on the team, a lot of people who make you laugh. The greatest thing about it, you can go away from your home and still feel like you're at home."
Toronto will play its final exhibition game Thursday night against the Montreal Alouettes at Varsity Stadium but Watkins isn't expected to suit up.
Watkins, 30, had 67 tackles and five interceptions with Toronto last season, his first in the CFL. However, the Florida native didn't participate in Toronto's 35-22 Grey Cup win over Calgary due to injury.
Watkins signed as a free agent with the Argos in May 2012 after spending time in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and San Diego Chargers.
He said physically he's fine as he was able to continue working out in Florida.
"Look, I'm in great shape," he said. "The timing was just off.
"If this had happened a few months back as far as everything going on I could've made it here. As I said the great thing is I'm here and I've got the whole season to look forward to."
Toronto can certainly use Watkins as sophomore Jahlil Carter is the lone holdover in the Argos secondary. Cornerback Pacino Horne was released Monday while defensive back Evan McCollough signed as a free agent with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and veteran safety Jordan Younger has retired.
Watkins certainly has some ground to make up considering the Argos opened training camp June 2. But the former Florida State star is fine with it if he has to reclaim his starting position to be on the field in time for Toronto's season opener versus arch-rival Hamilton on June 28 at Rogers Centre.
"I've never been afraid of work," he said. "That's fine with me."

Ribbons for Marisa~
The jar is from Wal-Mart ( and made in the good ole USA! YAY!) and I decorated it with October Afternoon patterned papers, Teal and Cryogen White Prism card stock, a chipboard flower (SU!) with a Basic Grey button center sanded down to reveal the white, a bit of frayed cording, linen thread, buttons, a Cuttlebug "m" and a "ribbons" flag. Quirky Alpha (Kim Hughes) from CHF spells out ribbons on the flag. Ink is ColorBox Prussian Blue. The flag idea came from all the fun jars that Anna has been posting lately. I kept the lip of the top unadorned for easy opening for a young lady.
Now to bundle the card stock! 3 sheets of every color I have , plus a stack of white and vanilla, should keep her in card stock for a while. :)

Contact the Mayor
Creating jobs, supporting business growth, and putting people back to work have also been my top priorities. To be able to have a safe city, a solvent city and a successful city, we need a City that is positioned to compete in the global business marketplace – creating and retaining jobs and creating the conditions for businesses to start, grow and prosper in San Francisco.
While the past several years have been challenging, San Francisco has been resilient and proven that it can still compete and win business even in these tough times. We're home to more than 500 technology companies, 74 biotech and life sciences companies and more than 200 cleantech and green businesses.
2010 was a strong year for all three sectors:
And 2011 is looking just as bright. This year, we've already announced a number of significant business relocations and expansions from a range of key sectors:
Thanks to ChinaSF – our ambitious business development initiative focused on attracting the North American Headquarters of Chinese companies entering the US Market – we have become a center for the Chinese solar industry. SF is home to Suntech, Yingli, Upsolar and GCL Solar. ChinaSF has attracted or expanded 12 Chinese companies to San Francisco, which have resulted in over 120 jobs for the City.
Local Hire Ordinance
Part of my commitment to jobs creation, fostering better economic opportunities, and improving the quality of life for all residents in San Francisco is ensuring that families stay working.
The historic local hire policy, which went into effect on March 25, 2011, is one factor that will ensure investment in jobs for San Franciscans, now and for the future. This is among the strongest local hire policies in the country, which will boost San Francisco's economy and provide jobs for San Francisco residents, and I'm proud to have been one of its many supporters.
This Investment in San Francisco jobs is an important endeavor for the City, because it provides our working families with the financial tool and job training they need to contribute to our local economy and to be successful in the workforce. This ordinance will ensure that SF residents and businesses are committed to taking care of its own by providing them the job opportunities they need in the City. This local hire ordinance aims to increase opportunities for San Franciscans to work on public projects using an efficient, transparent and streamlined process.
We want to make sure that San Franciscans have access to the job opportunities that their taxpayer dollars are paying for while implementing the plan in such a way that will make it easy for contractors to bid on public work projects.
The new law, an amendment to Chapter 6.22(G) of the San Francisco Administrative Code, will require contractors performing City public works or improvement projects to meet mandatory levels of San Francisco resident participation. The implementation plan calls for utilizing existing City resources and infrastructure to not only implement the new policy, but to streamline future contracting procedures, including taking advantage of technology to automate the process that used to be paper-driven, to achieve the Local Hire goals.
The City is also working to ensure our residents are trained in the various construction trades and crafts. The policy can only succeed if there continues to be a skilled local workforce towards meeting the goals. CityBuild Academy, the City's pre-apprenticeship training program, is our primary feeder into the union trades.
Local hire will not only boost our local economy and get San Francisco families back to work, but it will translate into a reinvestment in our City that will help pay for parks, public safety and social services. Local Hire will generate over 300 new jobs for San Franciscans every year and will infuse our general fund with nearly $177 million over the next 10 years.
We want to make sure that we continue to invest in San Francisco jobs and do what we can to get qualified San Francisco residents the opportunity to work building their own communities.
Investing in our communities by providing residents with economic tools like local jobs offered by the local hire ordinance and the availability of job training programs will ultimately result in improving their quality of life and positively impacting the City as a whole.

The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).
In addition to prescribed coursework, students complete clinical experience under the direct supervision of BOC-certified and Massachusetts licensed athletic trainers. This clinical experience is sequenced to facilitate learning of the theoretical and clinical competencies and problem-solving skills needed by the athletic trainer. The supervised clinical experiences take place in Springfield College athletic training rooms, as well as in off-campus, approved affiliate settings, including high schools and colleges.

Hot Climate or Cool, U.S. Spending $5 Billion to Weatherize HomesThe federal government will spend $5 billion to weatherize homes, almost twice as much as the total spent since the program began some three decades ago, reports the New York Times. This year, however, a large portion, 31%, nearly double the historic norm, will be spent in hot climates to save on air conditioning. This may not be the most efficient way to save energy, the Times reports, citing the Energy Information Administration. Home heating adds a lot more carbon to the atmosphere than home cooling. But a political compromise with Sun Belt legislators requires the spending. Read the article here. |

Yeah yeah, this is slightly later than I promised it. Anyway, congrats to the village. I'll just kind of go through a bit about the set up, then go player by player in talking about what they did or what happened to them. Link to the forum here: http://shaym.in/mafia/anocymous/index.php Set Up: So we saw what happens when the mafia gets really unlucky and hits the hider on night 1. It allows for the hider to come out and state his target without risking losing a mislynch. The hider is a bit of a risky role, but it was the only role to be able to conclusively clear anyone. I actually quite like the role. It was just unfortunate that the mafia felt as though the player with said role was the best night 1 kill target. The detective/psychologist is interesting for a few reasons. First, the detective/psychologist can lie about his role name without any repercussions, because he is the only player in the game that knows with any certainty whether a detective or a psychologist exists. Second, it gives the village another decent, but generally not overpowering information role. Third, it forces the mafia to decide whether to vary up who is performing the kills or to stack it on one user. The detective is clearly the better role of the two, but the psychologist is useful for situations like what happened with Hulk Hogan. The tracker works somewhat in conjunction with the detective/psych as I mentioned before. It's a pretty simple to understand information role, and is the only information role capable of confirming other power roles. The numbers are pretty fair; the mafia can work to earn 1 less mis-lynch through good play and having the hider target them, or by thinking well about who would be the most town-like member that the hider would risk hiding behind. Meanwhile, the hider can do just the opposite for the village and appear town enough to be killed and avoid death. It would take 4 mis-lynches normally for the mafia to win, which is doable, and can get 3 with some luck with a hider death, which is much more likely than a hider avoiding death. Getting mislynches on days 1 and 2 usually isn't too hard, and getting one more is fairly easy as well. Getting the 4th takes a bit more work, but is certainly fair. In terms of power roles, I think that my removing the potential for a vigilante somewhat hurt the mafia's ability to disprove detective/psych evidence and to counter-claim vigilante, but I think that it was worth doing this to remove that element of risk to relying so heavily on strong vigilante play. The power roles weren't extravagantly strong outside of possibly the hider, as the other two roles were only successful in one guilty, and that happened from a lack of counter-claiming. The tracker is not too hard to counter-claim, but in this game, the mafia chose not to do so. I think that counter-claiming the tracker would have potentially been very strong play and could force the village to lose one of their better power roles as the game goes on. The tracker checks counter-claiming the other two roles, and counter-claiming hider is essentially suicide and makes the mafia lose much more potential of having a double kill night. I think that having too many more PRs would have been detrimental and like the amount that were present. In terms of how the set up played out, I already mentioned the unfortunate hider kill setting up all 3 PRs being alive with a confirmed hider target clear. The day 1 mislynch wasn't too surprising. The day 2 lynch was salvageable for the mafia, coming down to deadline antics. The tracker + psych on Hulk Hogan, as well as all of the PR clears could have been avoided by a counter-claim on the tracker. However, the ideal person to do this would have been Hulk Hogan (lurking to a degree makes sense with a PR, wasnt particularly scummy d1 and wasn't on the village mislynch, Borat under suspicion, Roosevelt not playing like a PR and wants to live as long as possible). This didn't end up happening though, and led to one guilty through the combination of the tracker and psych. From there, the PRs mostly just functioned as clears. Player-by-Player: More Cowbell - Albert Einstein, Villager, Lynched Day 1 MC did seem pretty scummy for most of day 1. He was trying to contribute though and I think it's just sort of his style that seems a bit scummy at times (I thought he was the last mafia for a good period of time in the last mafia game). His last couple of posts were pretty obv-town though. His inexperience and slight scumminess was exploited by Roosevelt and led to his pushing of the lynch. Then, 4 villagers jumped off of the Borat lynch when he was at L-1 or 2 very quickly to finish him. I didn't get the chance to talk to him too much during the game to see his thoughts since he didn't come on IRC too much, but he definitely was trying to contribute. Tunnel visioned a bit on Ron Burgundy/UncleSam because he was the one attacking him, but eventually did see Borat as scummy, so he couldn't have been too bad with his reads. shinyskarmory - Borat, Mafia Grunt, Lynched Day 2 Didn't play too great for the most part, but played okay enough to squeak out of one lynch and almost out of two. I felt as though he probably should have been lynched day 1, but from talking with a good number of players, they felt as though "Borat is too obvious." Didn't implicate any of his teammates, which certainly helped quite a bit. His interactions with some other players like Yosemite Sam seemed to make some people think that there was a scumteam there, but I didn't really see the buddying and doubt shinyskarmory did it intentionally, if at all. shinyskarmory's day 2 started off pretty well, in my opinion. However, his play deteriorated throughout the day, leading to the horrible attempt to stealth lynch to save himself. I think he thought too poorly of his play and felt a stealth was the only way to save himself, but I disagree; he played well enough that a Rollie Fingers lynch or a Friedrich Nietzsche lynch were both perfectly viable. He just needed to say something like "better him than me; I'm town." Instead, he failstealths with 2 minutes before deadline and dies. Helps dispel fears of Nietzsche being mafia and slightly clears Rollie Fingers through doing this, but is helped later on by Yosemite Sam's denial of this and his eventual death and town flip, keeping Rollie Fingers as a viable lynch target to the end. Empoof - Burt Reynolds, Villager, Killed Night 2 Empoof had work a lot of the time, so he couldn't dedicate huge amounts of time to playing, but he did genuinely put in an effort into reading the posts and keeping up with the thread. I think that at first he was a bit nervous about posting his thoughts since he felt as though his reads wouldn't be right, but I prodded him to the point that he realized that he needed to be saying stuff. That said, his reads were pretty good; he had Hulk Hogan and Borat read as mafia for most of his time alive. His lynch on Albert Einstein isn't too surprising, since Einstein hadn't played too great and that he probably hadn't spent as much time analyzing the recent posts of Einstein. Still, an unfortunate decision that brought with it some suspicion. His posts were sporadic, but distinctly average. He didn't really do much scumhunting, but shared his thoughts when he could. Looked a bit scummy in the process, to the point of being the unanimous choice for Dali/Spiffy's hide target. Still, definitely tried and didn't do poorly enough to be mislynched. Spiffy - Salvador Dali, Hider, Killed Night 2 Spiffy was unanimously thought to be the most clean villager coming out of Day 1 from virtually all eyes. His reads weren't perfect, but he was one of 4 villagers to still be voting for Borat at the end of Day 1, so he certainly had that read correct. Put in effort to try to prod players into activity, like with Hulk Hogan. I'm not remotely surprised the mafia tried to kill him Day 1. He actually wanted to idle his night action Night 1 though, since he didn't think he would be the target. However, after some thought and the realization that a mafia kill on him would not succeed at all (he thought it would be redirected to who he hid behind), he decided to hide behind Mario, a pretty obvious villager and safe choice. I don't think clearing Mario made any difference since I don't think Agape would have ever been mislynched after his Day 1, but Spiffy's lack of dying Night 1 was huge for the village, letting him openly force the mafia into killing Burt Reynolds instead of the tracker. His Day 2 was quite good as well, actively using his vote to pressure players, and even had his end of the day vote on Theodore Roosevelt, another mafian. Overall great play. Altair/Aura_Guardian - Hulk Hogan, Mafia Grunt, Lynched Day 3 Altair's post in the Smogon thread seemed to be the scummiest thing he did. I had 3 people come up and tell me that they wanted to lynch whomever Altair was, all because of that post. Altair wasn't the most active, but I felt as though he was the least scummy mafia member by a good margin. Tried to act town and seemed to succeed at that; most of the suspicion against him seemed to be on Day 1 and only really for his activity level. Day 2, Aura Guardian came in and did a pretty good job as well. I think Aura Guardian was a bit more scummy than Altair (some of his large Day 2 posts were a bit scummy, although no one picked up on that), but was town enough that Ron Burgundy/UncleSam felt that it was much more likely that they would get a clean out of Hulk Hogan than a guilty - and not just because of the statistical probability. When Day 3 rolled around, he knew his fate was sealed and tried to waste the village's time and get an early lynch. While he did not manage to self-hammer, he did manage to convince Agape to hammer him, ending a lot of discussion. Unfortunate that night actions managed to get him, but since he nor anyone else counter-claimed any power roles, it was to be expected at some level. UncleSam - Ron Burgundy, Tracker, Killed Night 3 I did everything randomly in this game, from the sign ups, to the aliases, to the roles, except for one thing. UncleSam wanted a power role to the point of being unwilling to play without one, so I gave him the tracker. His early Day 1 was pretty bad, honestly. I'm not surprised by that though, since UncleSam is the kind of player that wants some sort of evidence to be used against other players, whether that be night results, or the actions of someone dead. So he played badly enough that he felt as though he had to reveal that he was a power role. I think the mafia made a mistake in thinking that UncleSam could have been the hider; I think he would have outright claimed hider if he were the hider, since he wouldn't exactly be under threat of dying because of how scummy he had looked. Still, after that claim, he played pretty well, putting needed pressure on Borat and almost having him lynched. When Day 2 rolled around, he seemed to seize a lot of control of the game, really dictating the flow and the argumentation of both Day 2 and Day 3. It's hard to argue against how he did, with 2 mafians dead. Made the correct calls in his role usage. Didn't read Hogan correctly, but read him correctly enough that his target Night 1 was based on "I don't think he is mafia, but if he is mafia, he is probably the player who would do the kill." Then saw that he could definitively clear/out Hogan by targeting him again. Kept pressure on Borat Day 2 when a lot of players wanted to let off of him. For day 3, he was certain it was either Yosemite Sam or Theodore Roosevelt. It's unsurprising that those were the next two players lynched. Paperblade - Yosemite Sam, Villager, Lynched Day 4 Paperblade was ok this game. He wasn't super time invested into this game because of a few other games he was in, but he still put in time to developing reads. This may be wrong, but I don't think he ever really took the early suspicion on him seriously and felt he could play out of it. However, most people had made up their minds about suspicions by Day 3ish, so his lynching wasn't too surprising. Did put in effort at the end to try to get the vote off of him and to voice his suspicions of Rollie Fingers before dying. Was overall hurt by thinking too much about his reads on Borat and Friedrich Nietzsche and consequently not having the best voting pattern to support his cleanliness. If the players alive on Day 4 outside of Agape were more active, he may have been able to swing the lynch off of him. However, due to misreading Borat's vote as not simply a stealth but as "not me," he may have led the village to the equally wrong path of lynching Rollie Fingers. Agape - Mario, Villager, Killed Night 4 Agape was a very…interesting player. He was never afraid to hold an unpopular opinion, voicing doubt on UncleSam's claim throughout Day 1 to the point of being willing to lynch it. Was active all throughout the game except for the very beginning, but established himself very early as an obvious villager who would suspect anyone who suspected him. While this caused some problems with keeping his vote on Ron Burgundy and is not generally a good way to find mafia, the way he played made for a very clear target for Spiffy to hide behind: unlikely to be killed, very likely town. Seemed to think that Roosevelt was mafia for quite a while, although he did allow for Yosemite Sam to be lynched instead. Still, a pretty good game. Blue_Tornado – Theodore Roosevelt, Mafia Grunt, Lynched Day 5 B_T did an excellent job as mafia, and being the last mafian to die definitely speaks to that. He was very vocal through the beginning of the game and was not afraid to push his false reads. Blue Tornado really single-handedly had More Cowbell lynched on Day 1 through his play. Of course, he dirtied his hands a bit in trying to not press his teammates, but the way that he did it made it so that the game was still salvageable for him up until the end. Initially, Blue_Tornado wanted to go under the radar as some meh player and just spam Victini pictures, but once it became clear that people could tell that he was a capable player, he started contributing a bit more evidence in his posts. Outside of his obvious "being wrong on his reads," he had a few scummy posts in day 1, but his Day 2 was pretty good. However, once both his partners died, it became increasingly obvious who the last mafia was. Still, he managed to avoid the lynch one day and probably could have had a Rollie Fingers mislynch fairly easily on Day 5 with a bit more luck or activity. However, lynching one of Alex Louis Armstrong or Friedrich Nietzsche would have been difficult. Still, B_T knew to keep bringing up his early Nietzsche suspicions to keep him as a potential lynch target. However, his play and everyone's inactivity caught up to him in the end and he was lynched. Gronkasaurus Rex – Rollie Fingers, Villager, Survived I think of Gronkasaurus Rex as the village equivalent of Blue Tornado in some respects: long posts, fairly decent logic behind them, but ended up almost always being wrong. Gronkasaurus Rex was active up until the last couple of days, when no one was active. Still, did a good bit of scumhunting and tried to help out the village a ton with his reads on potential scum teams. He was another of the villagers who at the last minute switched from Borat to Albert Einstein on Day 1, which is unfortunate. Still, he definitely put in a good deal of time trying to pressure players and expressing his reads. It's just a shame he usually ended up being wrong, from the Einstein lynch to Nietzsche suspicions to the Yosemite Sam lynch. It's always nice to see new faces in Smogon mafias, and he certainly showed he knows how to play. Eagle4/idiotfrommars/citro/idiotfrommars – Dr. Fu Manchu, Psychologist, Survived Eagle4 was the first to correctly identify all 3 mafia members (with some hints), and he did so about 5 hours after being subbed out, so good on him. His play in game wasn't remarkable, but it was active and not particularly scummy. His reads were ok; he suspected Nietzsche, Yosemite Sam, and Roosevelt upon being subbed out, which make sense. He panicked a bit when he received a vote on Day 2 and immediately claimed, which I don't think he needed to panic about. He probably was going to want to claim anyway, but beyond that he was generally a reasonably townie Villager with pretty good activity and ok reads. IFM…lol. He RNG'ed his last vote (he excluded Armstrong as a possibility at least), didn't reads days 1 or 2, and made me very frustrated. He had decent reasons for being inactive, but I really wish he would have been active; he PMed me within 3 minutes of saying "all players have received roles" saying that he wanted in. Citro was only Dr. Fu Manchu for 20 minutes, but he is the reason that they got the guilty on Hulk Hogan. He wasn't too sold on wanting to play, and when IFM logged onto IRC 3 minutes after deadline trying to send an action (which would have psyched Ron Burgundy instead <_<), he let IFM take his spot back since IFM wanted it. Thebritishexcadrill/Crux/Walrein – Alex Louis Armstrong, Villager, Survived When I looked at my randomized pool, I was worried about how active TBE would be, since he only had 4 posts and I knew nothing about him. However, I never had to worry about that, because he never opened his role PM, so I subbed in Crux. Crux established early that he was a pretty smart person, but didn't really know what to do with regards to NOC. Most of his posts, while limited in number, were usually focused on some smaller issues and thoughts that he knew he could contribute to, although as time went on he did start to get a bit more into it. However, he had a bit of a family emergency Day 2, so Walrein subbed in. Walrein was really inactive, admitting that he did not read any of Day 1 and most of Day 2. Still, he tried, sort of. He was busy with hosting Diplomacy, so that cut into a good bit of his time. He ended up voting for Rollie Fingers on the last day, so he didn't have great reads. Still, read enough to realize that Quagsires was pro-town and was unlikely to vote him if it came down to it. Quagsires - Friedrich Nietzsche, Villager, Survived Quagsires didn't ever seem to be wrong in his votes, except he suspected Yosemite Sam, and for a short period of time voted for Ron Burgundy. Nietzsche played fairly well, establishing through his votes that he was pro-town. His posts weren't particularly scummy (although B_T tried to spin them that way), but they weren't exactly super townie either. He seemed to recognize all 3 mafia as being suspicious, although he didn't necessarily think they were the most suspicious. He did a little bit of scumhunting, a little bit of stating his opinion. His posts ended up being pretty helpful, and he ended up being one of the people most thought of as being clean as the game went on. He ended up being the deciding vote in the end, so good on him for choosing right between two people he viewed as a bit suspicious. Awards: Best Post: Agape's first post in Day 4 It's amazing, you need to read it. Honorary Mention: Quagsires' ;/ ;/ Best Move: citro targeting Hulk Hogan Led to a guilty on someone who was statistically less likely to be mafia and meant Ron Burgundy's night action wasn't wasted. Game could have been very different without a guilty on Hogan helping to point at Roosevelt being mafia. Worst Move: Mafia not killing Ron Burgundy It's understandable why they didn't, since he was reasonably suspicious and they didn't want to risk a hider kill, but it clearly hurt the mafia big time, and I think that UncleSam would have claimed hider if he were hider. Most Obvious Townie: Spiffy Easy choice; he was so obvious that the mafia felt that they had to get rid of him. Very helpful posts, active, and had pretty good reads. Least Obvious Scum: Altair/Aura_Guardian Went under the radar for quite a while; people noted "hey he is under the radar" but most didn't truly suspect him. I thought most of his posts were pretty pro-town. a_g stepped in and did a good job, too. Mafia MVP: Blue_Tornado Led his team, led a mislynch, almost helped avoid the Borat lynch Day 2, avoided being lynched Day 4. Village MVP: UncleSam Led the village Day 2 and 3, had Borat's number, thought of how to get the Hogan clear/guilty. Decent enough end of Day 1, even though his early Day 1 wasn't too great. His dying words of "Lynch Yosemite Sam and then Teddy" ended up being followed to a T even after his death. I had a good time hosting this game; I hope that people enjoyed playing or watching! I'll open up the other forums to viewing later tonight.
I'll comment on other stuff later, I think. Again, don't think the decision to not kill Sam on D1 was bad - we didn't have a way of knowing if he'd have claimed hider as hider or if he deliberately claimed to be "a power role" to lure a kill (which was something I suspected), and keeping him around would have wasted a chunk of D2 getting a claim out of him (don't forget that he was suspected). Dali was the almost unarguable best kill at the time, and considering our other choices were Rollie, Nietzche and Yosemite... yeah, the turnout would have been suboptimal either way, but not by as much. If you want the worst move of the game retroactively, yeah, the N1 kill is it.
Yeah I had suspected US was Hider trying to bait a kill because he claimed "a power role" and had that "I'm going to die unless mafia thinks I'm hider" bit that read to me like he was taunting them.
Man, I was so pissed at B_T for pushing that D1 lynch on me, lol. Also, I must applaud shinyskarmory on his amazing metal_sonic impersonation; I knew the chance of metal_sonic being in the game at that point was extremely small, otherwise I would've thought metal_sonic was trying to push his ''#1 scumhunter'' act again. It was pretty obvious it was shinyskarmory for his post that included ''Make Einstein relatively dead'' - afaik, shinyskarmory is just about the only one to incorporate flavour in his lynch votes.
Still think you were too kind to me DLE ;) Rollie and Dali had a great game in particular, but my favourite person had to be Agape since he was such a rebel.
Thanks for hosting this, DLE. This was the most fun NOC game I've had so far (played in one before this) and all the players were nice and good players as well. Inactivity in the end was a shame though but I think/thought it was a part of the mafia's strategy. I am biased to analyze my own gameplay but my strategy was to think stuff over without resorting to mafiascum wiki or other theory sources and play rather boldly to cement myself as a villager from early on to prevent the fiasco of mafia framing me for weird behavior in the midgame. As for scumhunting, my primary strategy was to survive lynches myself and to support the bandwagons started by people I'd find both pro and clean. I think I'll play in future NOC games also; hopefully I get to be a mafia so that I can do reverse-reverse psychology. Spiffy played especially well in my opinion, congrats!
Thanks for hosting, DLE! It was fun while it lasted. When I was getting tracker-psyched, we (the mafia) decided that there were two courses of action. One, I kill the tracker. Two, sacrifice me. Not sacrificing me would have forced us to get all 3 people mislynched who could be, and that would only work if the hider had targeted not one of those three the next night. That could have been arranged, but seemed unlikely. Sacrificing me, however, was supposed to give us a slight increase in breathing room. With the Hider dead, 4 that could be mislynched, so we would only need 3/4 instead of 3/3. One of us was likely going to die, anyway, so we decided on sacrificing me. Sadly, this did not work out, but it was worth a shot, since it seemed most likely for a win. And yeah, I should have counter-claimed, somehow. Lying low to try and catch another mafia or something. Ah well.
Ya I agree that you needed to limit the number of people who were cleaned as much as possible...to be honest with you, I think that both you and Borat should've claimed power roles (particularly Hider/Tracker) because that would've confused us quite a bit and at least expanded the pool of potential mislynch targets.
I don't think that claiming hider in this case would have been good; Spiffy was the most obv of obv-towns at the time and was quite active, and I don't think Borat would have made for a believable night kill target to counter-claim it, and I don't think Roosevelt should have risked doing that and needed to stay on the DL. And I think that AG or Altair would have been best served counter-claiming you. With regards to the "worst move," I did sort of mean for it to be a bit retroactive. I think otherwise the worst move would have been Borat's stealth, which strategically and functionally was pretty poor. Perhaps I'm a bit biased with regards to not claiming hider, and I noted I understood why the kill that was done was done, but it did ultimately hurt the mafia in a huge way, and I still think signs pointed to him not being the hider, even if it's understandable why the mafia did not want to take the risk or read it differently.
Ya I was talking to A_G when I said that, the "you" was referring to him not to Roosevelt. I do think Roosevelt should've stayed silent. And yes I agree they should've counter claimed me...I suppose they could've claimed Psych instead of Hider but Hider was the role they really needed dead and knowing who it was would've helped avoid catastrophes like the first night.
hey guys uncle sam is always mafia give him the L-2 treatment plz Seriously though, gg. I think the setup would have really benefited from the vigilante option, but the game ended up working alright.
Hey! So I was gonna post this somewhat soon after the game but then I had all these essays and blah blah blah. But this was a really fun game (bar the tunneling on paperblade = ( still sorry about that man). Some notes; I think that unclesam and quagsires (whoever nieztsche was) played really well, getting borat voted d2 sealed the game. Sam's plan pretty much trapped the mafia and nietzsche's post were super town from the beginner and he was really reliable at deadlines. I don't think shinyskarmory played too bad, most players actually thought you were town or null on some level it's just you were in the most lynchable situation at the end of d2. I really should have looked at blue tornado harder because he and paperblade had very similar scummy stuff, I just caught onto him first and went all confirmation bias. Also just saying after borat flipped mafia I thought hogan was mafia because he went all "suspicious" of borat but didn't vote him (I find it a really reliable scumtell after the person who was suspicioned flips mafia). Thanks for hosting dle = ) Apparently you guys are looking for more players or something? Would not mind playing more mafia games on this site. I've only played a couple noc games in a few places but have played a ton of rtm, but yeah would be interested because you guys seem competitive but not tooo competitive and pretty nice = )

Project Runway All Stars contestant Mondo Guerra dedicates his design work to his friends and family every time his garments hit the runway. This talented Mexican-American fashion designer also knows that love keeps him grounded. Guerra spoke to Latina.com exclusively about returning to the show after being the runner-up and how love got him through it all.
The idea of returning to the competition was "a little daunting" to Guerra, but it started to set in when he was sitting in front of the judges. He told us he began to think, "'Oh my gosh, I'm here again. I'm doing this for so many more people other than family and friends now.'"
EXCLUSIVE: Mondo Guerra Dishes on 'Project Runway All Stars'!
Now, he has a dedicated partner, Ken, who has been there since the beginning of this process. "I actually met him when I was {creating} my mini-collection to audition for Project Runway," Guerra said. "When I met him, he didn't even know what Project Runway was, so when I was whisked away to tape season eight, he was watching season seven to kind of figure out what this whole Project Runway thing was."
Though the couple has only been together for two years, Guerra continued, "I feel like we've been together for ten years to tell you the truth."
"We have experienced things in our relationship that some couples will never experience," Guerra added.
Certainly being in a relationship with a reality show fashion designer is something many couples will never experience. We're glad he found someone who is accepting of his creative passion.
Tune into Project Runway All Stars tonight on Lifetime at 9 p.m. (EST).

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Justin Alexander La Guma (lah GEWM-ah) was one of the most important African writers during the second half of the twentieth century, when South Africa suffered under the oppressive system of racial segregation called apartheid. His novels and short stories, many of which were banned in his own country, were praised not only for exposing the truth about apartheid to an international audience but for being valuable artistic documents.
La Guma was born in a poor section of the large city of Cape Town to a "colored" family, a term used in South Africa for people of mixed race. Both his parents were active in the nonwhite civil rights movement in South Africa. When Alex La Guma was thirteen years old, he tried unsuccessfully to join the International Brigade to fight fascism in Spain. At the age of seventeen he offered to fight in World War II, but was again turned down. He read Marxist writers (but never finished high school), and eventually joined the Communist Party. By the time he was thirty he was a leader in the liberation movement. He helped organize a bus boycott, drafted a rights declaration called the Freedom Charter, and was arrested with more than one hundred other antiracists and charged with high treason.
In the late 1950's La Guma began writing for the leftist newspaper New Age. His short stories, usually dealing with racial oppression, appeared first in African and then also in European literary magazines. After he joined the Colored People's Congress, he was arrested more than once and held without trial. By law he was forbidden to participate in political activities, and his writings were no longer allowed to be published in South Africa, but in 1962 a small publisher in Nigeria published A Walk in the Night. The novella, which was immediately acclaimed for its vivid portrayal of urban life under apartheid and for its descriptions...

gift giving
People fresh off the move are still in shock as to how saddled down they are by their possessions, so this is not the time to give something large or furniture-like, which will only cause the recipient to imagine having to someday repack said item and lug it down several flights of stairs.
It's not EXpresso. We do judge you for that one.
I have learned some things about keeping one's head screwed on straight while going through the extremely stressful purgatory of being underemployed in a horrendous job market.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack this week informed the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) of his appointments to the board of the National Sheep Industry Improvement Center.
"The Sheep Center will strengthen and enhance the production and marketing of sheep and goat products in the United States through infrastructure development, business development, production, resource development and market and environmental research," said Vilsack. "These appointees represent a cross section of the industry, and I am confident that the industries will be well served by them."
The initial board members will serve staggered one-, two- and three-year terms. Board appointees Linda Campbell (Va.) and Rochelle Oxarango (Idaho), representing sheep and goat producers, and David Johnson (Wis.), representing expertise in marketing, will serve one-year terms. Janet Mawhinney (Pa.), representing sheep and goat producers, and Glen Fisher (Texas), representing expertise in finance and management, will serve two-year terms. Clark Willis (Utah), representing sheep and goat producers and Joan Snyder (N.Y.), representing expertise in finance and management will serve three-year terms.
"ASI secured authorization of the center in the 2008 Farm Bill with start up funds of $1 million. We are pleased that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) appointments were announced early enough that the center can meet during our sheep industry convention in January 2011," commented Peter Orwick, ASI executive director. "ASI has worked with USDA for the past two years on the final rule, and we provided a slate of nominees that the secretary considered for directors."
The board is composed of seven voting members and two non-voting members. Voting members of the board include four active producers of sheep or goats in the United States, two members that have expertise in finance and management and one member that has expertise in lamb, wool, goat or goat product marketing. Non-voting members will include the Under Secretary of Agriculture for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Edward Avalos and the Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics Cathy Woteki.
The notice for the final rule, which went into effect Dec. 8, was published in the Dec. 7, Federal Register. USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) will provide oversight of the Center and will announce the date and place of the inaugural meeting of the board.

Instead of giving the names of files or archive members on the command
line, you can put the names into a file, and then use the
'--files-from=file-of-names' ('-T
file-of-names') option to tar
. Give the name of the
file which contains the list of files to include as the argument to
'--files-from'. In the list, the file names should be separated by
newlines. You will frequently use this option when you have generated
the list of files to archive with the find
Get names to extract or create from file file-name.
If you give a single dash as a file name for '--files-from', (i.e.,
you specify either --files-from=-
or -T -
), then the file
names are read from standard input.
Unless you are running tar
with '--create', you can not use
both --files-from=-
and --file=-
(-f -
) in the same
Any number of '-T' options can be given in the command line.
The following example shows how to use find
to generate a list of
files smaller than 400K in length and put that list into a file
called 'small-files'. You can then use the '-T' option to
to specify the files from that file, 'small-files', to
create the archive 'little.tgz'. (The '-z' option to
compresses the archive with gzip
; see section Creating and Reading Compressed Archives for
more information.)
$ find . -size -400 -print > small-files $ tar -c -v -z -T small-files -f little.tgz |
In the file list given by '-T' option, any file name beginning
with '-' character is considered a tar
option and is
processed accordingly(14). For example,
the common use of this feature is to change to another directory by
specifying '-C' option:
$ cat list -C/etc passwd hosts -C/lib libc.a $ tar -c -f foo.tar --files-from list |
In this example, tar
will first switch to '/etc'
directory and add files 'passwd' and 'hosts' to the
archive. Then it will change to '/lib' directory and will archive
the file 'libc.a'. Thus, the resulting archive 'foo.tar' will
$ tar tf foo.tar passwd hosts libc.a |
If you happen to have a file whose name starts with '-',
precede it with '--add-file' option to prevent it from
being recognized as an option. For example: --add-file=--my-file

Syllabification: I·seultPronunciation: /iˈso͞olt, iˈzo͞olt
(also Isolde)
- A princess in medieval legend; known as Iseult the Fair. She was the daughter of the king of Ireland. Tristram was sent to seek her hand on behalf of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. En route back to Cornwall Tristram and Iseult mistakenly drank the love potion intended for the wedding night of Iseult and Mark and fell hopelessly in love. Iseult was bound to marry King Mark, but she and Tristram continued their affair until Mark became suspicious and Tristram had to flee. The tragic story is part of the body of Arthurian literature. Versions of the legend were told by Thomas of Brittany (fl. 12th century), Gottfried von Strassburg (fl. 12th-13th century), Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Richard Wagner in his opera Tristan.

What Pac-Man means at 30
It's probably impossible to count the times someone has written that video games are a business as big as or bigger than Hollywood.
But long before the Halos and the Sims and the Call of Dutys and the Maddens began bringing in billions of dollars, the world was dominated by a simple yellow character munching his way through a maze of dots, trying to avoid getting eaten by ghosts.
On May 22, 1980, a Japanese company called Namco Bandai released a game in Japan called Puck-Man. The title was rejected in the United States because some worried that the &… Read more

The evening was full of delicious appetizers that included golden beets stuffed with goat cheese, a salty and savory cheesy risotto ball with brasied oxtail, spring onions wrapped in bacon, and pea soup topped with a meaty morel mushroom. However, the highlight of the evening was the fresh spring salad that was being made in front of our eyes by Chef Brian McBride which included generous chunks of lobster, golden beets, asparagus, spring greens, and then topped with a perfectly done poached egg. The salad was fantastic, and paired beautifully with the Boxwood Winery Rose that was also being served on the terrace. The wine was not too sweet, and was incredibly refreshing on a warm Spring evening. I look forward to enjoying more of it this summer.
As a parting gift the staff of Blue Duck Tavern provided each guest with three homemade scones in a to-go bag. I thought I could resist the temptation, but I had to eat one as soon as I got home. Let's just say that those were some of the most enjoyable bites I have had in a long time. The scone had cinnamon and nuts and was moist and delicious. The other two are sitting on my counter and it is taking all of the willpower in the world to not devour them in one sitting.
The patio at Blue Duck Tavern is about as good as it gets when it comes to outdoor dining. And the fact that the food is fantastic and their wine list is superb makes it an all-around ideal choice. I look forward to enjoying the patio as soon as we get some consistent warm weather… which will hopefully be soon!

You are so getting front page.
I didn't really quite got the game, what you have to do in it, because I was lazy and didn't read all of the tutorial. I started hitting that ghost and nothing happened.. Oh well, if I don't get it, someone else is going to get it. I like it. It has good story first, graphic and sound - everything was just perfect.
I'm going to see your other flashes. This one was just brilliant.

Healthline (09.09.2013)
Scientists researching a cure for HIV have projected that a cure could be available in 18 to 24 months. The researchers were working on two natural compounds––prostatin and bryostatin––that they reproduced in the laboratory for medical purposes. Prostratin comes from the bark of the Samoan mamala tree. Paul Cox, an ethnobotanist and director of the Institute of Ethnomedicine in Wyoming, heard of the bark from a Samoan healer. Paul Wender, a chemist from California's Stanford University, found in experiments with prostratin that it flushed out the virus from cells where it was hiding. Drugs are able to kill the virus when it is in the open, but not when it is hiding in cells. When patients stopped taking their medication, the virus resurfaced and quickly multiplied. Wender was able to recreate the drug and design new variants and has made it 100 times more powerful than that obtained from the tree. The AIDS Research Alliance (ARA), a Los Angeles nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for AIDS, is developing prostratin. Dr. Stephen Brown, medical director of ARA, stated that the organization was two thirds of the way through necessary experiments before the drug would be ready for market. Researchers had performed initial tests on animals and now were conducting tests on blood from AIDS patients who had been on immunosuppressive therapy. Bryostatin, a compound that comes from a sea creature called bryozoa, also has healing qualities. It was discovered by Robert Pettit, a University of Arizona chemistry professor. Wender created bryostatin variants 1,000 times more powerful at flushing HIV from cells than prostratin. However, additional work is necessary before it could be considered a successful drug candidate. The National Institutes of Health is helping to fund Wender's research. The study was presented before the 246th American Chemical Society National Meeting, September 8–12, in Indianapolis, Ind.
