[JURIST] In a unanimous ruling Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court [official website] struck down a state law prohibiting consensual sex between unmarried people. Read the opinion [PDF]. The justices based their decision on Lawrence v. Texas [ruling], the 2003 US Supreme Court case voiding a state anti-sodomy law. As in that case, the VA Supreme Court found the state law unconstitutional as it infringed the Due Process rights of adults to engage in private sexual conduct. The law against sex between consensual non-married individuals - Virginia Code § 18.2-344 - has been on the books for over 200 years but has not been enforced since 1847. AP has more.
[JURIST] Following up a JURIST report from earlier today, US Central Command [official military website] has now announced that Staff Sgt. Jonathan J. Alban-Cardenas has been convicted of one count of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder during a general court-martial at the 1st Cavalry Division courthouse in Camp Liberty, Baghdad. A military judge handed down the verdict and sentence of one year confinement, reduction to the lowest pay grade, and a bad conduct discharge. Read the Central Command news release.
[JURIST] Army Spc. Charles Graner was found guilty late Friday afternoon of conspiracy, assault, maltreating prisoners, dereliction of duty and committing indecent acts, all charges that arose out of the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal. The military jury in Graner's court-martial deliberated less than five hours and Graner now faces up to 17 1/2 years jail time. AP has more. Previously on JURIST's Paper Chase...
[JURIST] FOX News is reporting that after hearing arguments [JURIST report] in a case seeking to prevent a prayer at President Bush's upcoming inauguration, US District Judge John Bates has rejected the challenge of plaintiff Michael Newdow [JURIST Newsmaker]. Read the opinion here [PDF]. 4:48 PM ET - FOX News now has a story here.
[JURIST] The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [EEOC official website] filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against Chicago-based Sidley Austin Brown & Wood [law firm website], for alleged discrimination against the firm's older lawyers. The suit, which could cost the firm millions of dollars, stems from a 1999 decision to demote 31 of the firm's lawyers from "partner" status, most of whom were over 50 years old. In an attempt to create opportunities for young lawyers, the firm also lowered its mandatory retirement age from 65 to 60. Subpoenas were issued during the 1999 investigation and a 2002 US Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals opinion [PDF text] rejected the firm's argument that partners are not protected as "employees." The EEOC suit seeks to reinstate the demoted partners, change the mandatory retirement policy, and provide damages for those injured. Read the EOC press release. The Chicago Sun-Times has more.
[JURIST] Following up on a JURIST report from earlier today, the Ukraine Supreme Court [official website in Ukrainian] announced Friday that on Monday morning Kyiv time it would hear the appeal filed earlier today by former Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukoych [Wikipedia profile] in a final attempt to halt the inauguration of rival Viktor Yushchenko [Wikipedia profile]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge [official profile], in an interview with BBC News airing Friday, said that the US does not condone the use of torture to extract information from terrorists, but added that "under an extreme set of circumstances," where it could prevent a major loss of life, torture "could happen." Ridge's comments come after Thursday's release of a Human Rights Watch report [JURIST report; text of HRW report] calling for the Bush administration to set up an independent commission to investigate allegations of the use of torture during interrogations at Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST Hot Topic]. Also Thursday, the Justice Department announced that it has opened an investigation [New York Times report] into FBI documents [JURIST report] that conclude that the military used coercive and abusive tactics while interrogating prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq. BBC News has more on Ridge's comments.
[JURIST] Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott [official profile] has filed a federal lawsuit against Ryan Pitylak, a 22-year-old college student, and his 40-year-old business partner, Mark Trotter, who Abbott says head the world's fourth-largest spamming operation. According to allegations in the lawsuit [complaint, PDF], Pitylak and Trotter have sent hundreds of thousands of unsolicited, misleading e-mails in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act [text] and Texas state law. The lawsuit seeks an injunction barring the pair from sending additional misleading emails and millions of dollars in fines. Pitylak and Trotter's lawyer said that a great effort was made to ensure compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, including disclaimers on the e-mails. Read the Texas Attorney General press release announcing the filing of the lawsuit, and watch recorded video of the announcement. AP has more.
[JURIST] US District Judge John Bates has heard arguments in a case seeking to prevent the recitation of a prayer [JURIST report] during President Bush' inauguration [official website] next week. Plaintiff Michael Newdow [JURIST Newsmaker], who unsuccessfully tried to remove the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, argued that allowing a Christian prayer at the ceremony forces him to accept unwanted religious beliefs in violation of the Constitution. Newdow, an atheist, filed and lost similar case when Bush was first inaugurated, because he did not suffer "a sufficiently concrete and specific injury." Newdow argues that this second case is different because he has a ticket to attend the inauguration, rather than just watching the ceremony on television. Lawyers for President Bush and the inaugural committee told Judge Bates that the decision to have a Christian minister give an invocation is Bush's personal choice, one which the court has no power to prevent. Bates is expected to issue his ruling Friday. Newdow has posted the complaint [PDF] in the current case, as well as other case documents. AP has more.
[JURIST] Italy's Constitutional Court [official website] will allow a referendum to overturn parts of a controversial new Italian law on fertility treatments to proceed, but rejected a call for a referendum to completely overturn the law. Last year, Italian lawmakers passed a measure which allows only cohabitating heterosexual couples access to fertility treatments, bans egg or sperm donation or the freezing of embryos, and restricts the number of eggs that can be fertilized. In a ruling handed down Thursday, the court refused to allow a referendum that would completely overturn the law, but will allow the public to vote on certain elements of the law, including parts that restrict access to fertility treatment to heterosexual couples and rules on embryo research. In light of the court's decision, some lawmakers are calling for Parliament to amend the law, rather than put the law before voters. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Former Argentine Navy captain Adolfo Scilingo appeared in a Spanish court Friday where he is on trial for committing genocide during Argentina's "Dirty War." In addition to genocide, Scilingo also faces 30 charges of murder, 93 of causing injury, 255 terrorism charges, and 286 torture charges, all stemming from Argentina's 1976-1983 dictatorship. The trial, authorized under a Spanish law granting jurisdiction over anyone suspected of crimes against humanity even if the acts took place outside Spain, marks the first time that a member of the former Argentine military regime will be tried for genocide. In his Friday court appearance, Scilingo was declared fit to stand trial, despite Scilingo's ongoing hunger strike. Scilingo refused to answer the judge's questions and the trial was adjourned until Monday. The Vanished Gallery [advocacy website] has background on Scilingo [reprinted Time Magazine article]. BBC has more on Friday's developments and IPS has background on the trial. La Nacion has local coverage from Argentina.
[JURIST] The United States has announced that it will withhold $10 million in aid to Serbia and Montenegro [Wikipedia article] due to Belgrade's lack of cooperation [JURIST report] with the UN-backed International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia [official website]. According to the US State Department:
The Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2005 [text] Section 563 (c) prohibits assistance to the central government of Serbia after May 31, 2005 unless the Secretary of State certifies that the government of Serbia and Montenegro has taken action to, cooperate with the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, "including access for investigators, the provision of documents, and the surrender and transfer of indictees or assistance in their apprehension, including making all practicable efforts to apprehend and transfer Ratko Mladic," and certain other steps....We call on the authorities in Belgrade to cooperate fully with the Tribunal by arresting and transferring fugitive indictees, particularly Ratko Mladic, to face justice in The Hague. The Secretary is prepared to review this decision if future actions by Serbia and Montenegro demonstrate their cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
It is inadmissible that our parliaments and governments adopt full cooperation with the Hague Tribunal as their state and national priority only for it to be later obstructed by those protecting the Tribunal's indictees. At the same time, those failing to pursue the agreed policies call themselves patriots while those complying with them are branded as traitors.
[JURIST] The Kansas Senate [official website] voted Thursday in favor of a proposed constitutional amendment [text, PDF] that would ban same-sex marriage and would prohibit the state from allowing civil unions or granting benefits normally associated with marriage to same-sex couples. The measure, which passed by a 28-11 vote, will now move to the state House, where it must pass by a two-thirds majority before the proposed amendment can be put on state ballots for voter approval. The proposed amendment is supported by many of the state's conservative ministers, one of whom called the Senate vote "a victory for the voters of Kansas." State Sen. John Vratil [official website; Vratil's stance on a marriage amendment], who voted against the measure, decried the favorable vote, saying "Never before in the history of our state have we added an amendment to the constitution that proactively discriminates against people." According to Kansans for Justice & Equality [advocacy website], the measure is potentially unconstitutional [KJE anti-marriage amendment messaging]. Friday's Lawrence Journal-World has more.
[JURIST] Google Inc. [corporate site] and the Securities and Exchange Commission [official site] have settled a complaint over the company's failure to register employee stock options during its initial public offering in August. The settlement, in which Google accepted a cease-and-desist order by the SEC, allows the company to avoid any financial penalties. The SEC charged Google with violating a requirement that companies issuing more than $5 million in stock options to employees within a 12-month period notify the SEC or disclose financial information to the employees, but the SEC did not charge Google with fraudulent actions. Google issued more than $80 million in options. Employees buying stock options prior to the IPO risked losing money if the stock value dropped. Google's general counsel David C. Drummond [corporate profile] was named in the compaint because the SEC alleged he knew of the requirement. Drummond also faces civil charges in a case against another company, Smartforce, for which he served as CFO. Read the SEC press release on the charges against Google, as well as a Google filing made in response to the charges. The Boston Globe has more.
[JURIST] Court-martial proceedings began Friday for a US soldier charged with the murder of a wounded Iraqi teenager during a outbreak of violence in Baghdad last year. Staff Sgt. Cardenas Alban, of the 41st Infantry Regiment out of Fort Riley, KA, is one of three soldiers charged in the incident and the second to be court-martialed. Staff Sgt. Johnny Horne was convicted last month [JURIST report] and sentenced to three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to a murder charge. A third soldier, 2nd Lt. Erick Anderson, is also charged with murder. The three soldiers were part of a patrol in Sadr City on Aug. 18, which was during a period of heightened conflict with militia forces of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. The soldiers fired on several men they suspected of placing bombs, and later killed one of the men who was wounded in the initial shooting, which the military called a mercy killing. Read a US Central Command press release on the court-martial. The Los Angeles Times details the events surrounding the killing. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] A defense witness testifying Thursday in the military trial of Spc. Charles Graner [Wikipedia profile] told the jury that intelligence officers at the Abu Ghraib prison told Graner and others what to do. Former military policewoman Megan Ambuhl [CDI case file; Wikipedia profile] said "They would come down with their detainees and let us know what they wanted us to do with them. They might say this guy is cooperating, not cooperating." Ambuhl testified that she was asked her to watch one male detainee shower: "They wanted me to go in the shower and point at the genital area and laugh at them." Ambuhl admitted on cross-examination by prosecutors, however, that she had had a sexual relationship with Graner and did not want him to go to jail. Graner's defense closed its case Thursday without calling Graner himself [JURIST report] to the stand. Reuters has more. The jury in the Graner case is expected to begin deliberations today.
[JURIST] Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukoych [Wikipedia profile; presidential campaign website in Ukrainian] Friday filed one last appeal over the December 26 presidential re-vote with the Ukrainian Supreme Court [official website in Ukrainian] in a final legal bid to stop the inauguration of opposition leader and apparent election winner Viktor Yushchenko [Wikipedia profile; presidential campaign website]. Ukraine's Central Election Commission [official website in Ukrainian] certified the vote last week, but the Supreme Court stepped in and halted formal publication of the results to allow Yanukoych's latest legal action. Yushchenko, who has directed his supporters to take down their tent-camp in downtown Kyiv [Yushchenko campaign press release] that was the center of protests after the initial November run-off, has accused Yanukovych of "torturing" the country by his multiple appeals, of which there have been at least 12 to this point. The latest appeal, complete with 600 pounds of supporting documentation, was delivered to the court by min-van this morning. The high court judges now have five days to make a ruling. VOA has more.

Griffiths the star guest
Wolves' Dribblers Christmas party kicked off the festive season' fun in the WV1 bar on Wednesday with the club's top scorer Leigh Griffiths the special guest.
A fun-filled party included various activities for the kids from the popular club, which is open to supporters under the age of three.
Wally Wombat, a cheerful puppeteer entertainer, hosted the festivities and entertained the children with a variety of games and activities - everything from magic paintings, making balloon animals to puppet shows. Coincidently the magic word for the day just happened to be 'Promotion!' keeping the young fans aware of the aim for this season!
Leigh happily signed autographs and had his photo taken with young supporters before staying on for the party and enjoying the fun.
Another special guest was Santa, with the children singing songs and dancing for him before letting him know just what they all wanted for Christmas.
Wolfie and Wendy were the last to arrive to round off the party and ensure all the Dribblers had a great time.
*The Dribblers have had their turn and next week it's Young Wolves. A few spaces are still available for the parties taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at Molineux. Contact the Ticket Office or visit www.twitter.com/young_wolves for details

Michigan's Democratic lawmakers cry foul over how Republicans are counting their votes
By Zoe Clark
This week Rick Pluta, Lansing Bureau Chief for the Michigan Public Radio Network, and I took a look at the hullabaloo over vote counting at the state Capital.
State House Democrats have filed a lawsuit that says that Republican lawmakers are violating the Michigan Constitution. "The lawsuit says the House GOP majority refuses to hold recorded votes on a procedure that requires super-majorities to pass, known as "immediate effect." It allows bills to become effective upon being signed by the governor. Otherwise, bills cannot become law until 90 days after the end of a legislative session," Pluta explains.
We ask: Has the GOP been violating the state Constitution or is this just politics as usual?

text: Internationally acclaimed director and Japanese media phenomenon Takeshi Kitano follows up his well-regarded Kikujiro with this straight-ahead gangster saga with a cross-cultural twist. The film focuses on Yamamoto (Kitano), a yakuza forced out of the country when a gang war all but wipes out his clan. Armed with a fake credit card, a forged passport, and a bag of money, he journeys to the strange and foreign land of Los Angeles to join his half-brother Ken (Claude Maki), who works as a low-rent street tough alongside fast-talking hustler Denny (Omar Epps). With brutal efficiency, the poker-faced Yamamoto starts staking out turf and organizing Ken's mob into one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the city. As his gang grows in number and power, he is joined by Kato (Kitano regular Susumu Terajima), his former lieutenant from Japan, who entreats Little Tokyo's pathological crime boss Shirase (Masaya Kato) to join the group. Yamamoto seems unstoppable until his gang runs afoul of the Mafia. Soon, all that he built quickly and bloodily starts to unravel as every member in his gang is marked for death. This film was screened at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

If treatment for thyroid cancer stops working
Next Topic
More information about thyroid cancer
What's new in thyroid cancer research?
Research into thyroid cancer is being done right now in many hospitals, medical centers, and other places around the country. Each year, scientists find out more about what causes the disease, how to prevent it, and how to improve treatment.
The discovery of the genetic causes of familial (inherited) medullary thyroid cancer now makes it possible to identify family members carrying the abnormal gene and to remove the thyroid in these people to prevent cancer from starting there.
Progress in understanding the abnormal genes that cause sporadic (not inherited) thyroid cancer should also lead to better treatments.
Most thyroid cancers can be cured. But advanced cancers can be hard to treat, especially if they do not respond to radioactive iodine therapy. Doctors and researchers are looking for better and safer ways to treat thyroid cancer.
Surgery is often an effective treatment for most thyroid cancers without causing major side effects.
Some people who have thyroid surgery are bothered by the scar it leaves on the neck. Newer approaches to surgery may help with this. For example, doctors are now looking at doing surgery through smaller cuts in the neck, or even cuts under the arm.
Radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment
Doctors are looking for better ways to see which patients are likely to have their cancers come back after surgery. These patients may be helped by getting RAI treatment after surgery.
Researchers are also looking for ways to make RAI effective against more thyroid cancers. For example, doctors are studying whether some newer drugs can be used to make thyroid cancer cells more likely to take up radioactive iodine.
Some studies are testing the value of chemo drugs like paclitaxel (Taxol) and other drugs, as well as using chemo and radiation together in treating anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Targeted drugs
Most thyroid cancers do not respond well to chemo. But unlike standard chemo drugs, targeted drugs attack certain targets on cancer cells. Targeted drugs might work in some cases when standard chemo drugs do not, and they often have different (and less severe) side effects.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors: A class of targeted drugs known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) may help treat thyroid cancer cells with changes in certain genes. Many of these drugs also keep new blood vessels from forming (see below).
Many papillary thyroid cancers have changes in the BRAF gene, which helps them grow. Drugs that target cells with BRAF gene changes are now being studied in thyroid cancers with this gene change.
Vandetanib (Caprelsa) and cabozantinib (Cometriq) are targeted drugs that are helpful in treating medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).
Some other TKIs are already approved to treat other types of cancer, and may be useful against MTC and differentiated thyroid cancers if other treatments are no longer working.
Anti-angiogenesis drugs: As tumors grow, they need a larger blood supply to get enough nutrients. They get it by causing new blood vessels to form (a process called angiogenesis). Anti-angiogenesis drugs work by blocking these new blood vessels.
Some of the TKIs have anti-angiogenic properties. Other anti-angiogenesis drugs, such as bevacizumab (Avastin), are also being studied.

That's another theory I have... Whatever you have most will be requested more often. I did captain 3 mostly on my own. I didn't get any sugar request because my sugar was just average. I recently have been getting more sugar boats (which I send away) but I think it's cause I have a decent stash now. Not crazy lots but more than the other products. Then, whatever you don't have will also be requested by visitors, besides what you have most of. So now I try to always have more wheat so that I can happily sell and get my points towards badge number 3 for selling to 2000 times to visitors.Originally Posted by shelby101070

More students dropped out of Kanawha County high schools last year than in 2012, and fewer students received the Promise Scholarship.
But long-term trends paint a more nuanced picture: 180 fewer students dropped out last year than five years ago - 395 compared to 540 in the 2006-07 school year - and more students were awarded the Promise Scholarship this year than in 2011 - 367 compared to 307.
These figures and more were presented to the county school board Monday as accountability data have been reported from the last academic year. Officials say they'll continue to parse it in the coming weeks and months.
"I think we need to drill down a little bit further," board member Robin Rector said. "I don't want to leave out the fact that we might have some celebrations here, too. Too often we focus on the negative only."
Generally, it's difficult for Kanawha County to compare itself to West Virginia's other county school systems: it's the largest system in the state by a long shot, and a far cry from most of West Virginia's shrinking rural districts.
Still, Kanawha County students outperformed the state average on the Westest 2 - the standardized test that all schoolchildren take annually - in nearly every category.
Kanawha County's proficiency rate was higher than the state's in math and reading for every grade level. In reading, Kanawha County students showed growth over three years in every grade except 4 and 5. In math they showed growth or maintained the same level of proficiency in every grade except 8.
This is the first year the county has worked under West Virginia's new state-developed accountability system, instead of the federal system governed by the federal education law known as No Child Left Behind.
The new system places every school in one of five categories: success, transition, focus, support or priority.
In Kanawha County, 27 schools were named "success schools," the top designation, meaning they met all state benchmarks and made meaningful gains over previous years. Three schools - J.E. Robins, Watts and Mary C. Snow West Side elementary schools - were classified as "priority" schools, meaning they have historically poor performance.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Thursday, May 20, 2010
Media contact: Lee Schlesinger, 850-487-0554
Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson and Chairman Rodney Barreto of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) announced Thursday that the summer oyster-harvesting areas in the Apalachicola Bay System will open at 12:01 a.m. Friday - 11 days early.
The summer oyster areas in Apalachicola Bay normally are open for harvest in June, July and August, and this is the first time the two agencies, which jointly manage oyster resources in Florida, have opened the summer area early.
Requests for this early harvest were received from the Franklin County Board of County Commissioners, the Franklin County Seafood Workers Association and the Apalachicola Bay Oyster Dealers Association.
"We are pleased to support Commissioner Bronson in this effort to help the hard-working people in Florida's oyster industry," Barreto said.
Staff of both agencies will continue to closely monitor Apalachicola Bay water quality, oyster harvest, oyster handling and oyster processing to ensure oyster resources are protected and are safe to consume.
"This action should be viewed by the people of Florida and the United States that Gulf of Mexico seafood in restaurants and markets is safe," Bronson said. "With demand for safe Gulf oysters at a peak, this action will benefit both our oyster industry and consumers alike."
The FWC order takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on May 21 and will expire at 12:01 a.m. on June 1. All other rule provisions governing the harvest of oysters in Apalachicola Bay will remain in effect for the duration of the order.
Commercial oyster rules and other saltwater fishing regulations are available online at MyFWC.com/Rules, click on "Fishing - Saltwater."
FWC Facts:The orange blossom is the official state flower of Florida. Its blossoms are used in tea and bakery products, and bees use the blossom to make most of Florida's honey.

This is the thread for all audio discussion and releases.
Here's how you convert the radio stations. You do not need to convert the GTA3 radio stations AT ALL to hear them in GTA:LC. You can leave them as waves, or you can convert them to mp3 to save hard drive space, the choice is yours.
To do this, open up the gta-lc.ini file in Notepad. The beginning should look like this:
[Exe] Path=.\gta-vc.exe Version=10 ChangeTaskBar=0 [WavePath] 25=AUDIOLC\COMopen.wav 26=AUDIOLC\SUBopen.wav 27=AUDIOLC\BET.MP3 |
And so on. To get the GTA3 radio stations, you need to make sure that the radio stations from the GTA3 CD are in the audioLC folder with their original names. If you change them to mp3s or move them somewhere else you have to change this to match your settings. But if you simply copy the files from your CD to your audioLC folder, this is what the beginning of your gta-lc.ini should look like.
[Exe] Path=.\gta-vc.exe Version=10 ChangeTaskBar=0 [WavePath] 0=AUDIOLC\head.wav 1=AUDIOLC\class.wav 2=AUDIOLC\kjah.wav 3=AUDIOLC\rise.wav 4=AUDIOLC\lips.wav 5=AUDIOLC\game.wav 6=AUDIOLC\msx.wav 7=AUDIOLC\flash.wav 8=AUDIOLC\chat.wav 25=AUDIOLC\COMopen.wav 26=AUDIOLC\SUBopen.wav 27=AUDIOLC\BET.MP3 |
That should give you GTA3 radio stations, enjoy.

LC Hamming It Up Note
This ham actually likes to ham it up for the camera, looking nicely glazed and sweetly salty thanks to its blanket of sweetened spices. So go on, take a picture of your holiday centerpiece and send it to us. What are you waiting for?
Cranberry-Orange Glazed Ham Recipe
- 1 (5- to 7-pound) smoked, fully cooked ham half
- Whole cloves
- 1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar, divided
- 3/4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh cranberries and orange slices, for garnish
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325° (160°C).
- 2. Slice the skin away from ham. Using the tip of a sharp knife, score the fat on the ham in a diamond design and stud with whole cloves. Place the ham, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at for 1 hour.
- 3. Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cranberry juice, honey, vinegar, flour, mustard, and butter, mixing well. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- 4. Coat the exposed portion of the ham with the remaining 1 cup sugar. Pour the hot cranberry juice mixture over the ham and bake, basting the ham with the pan juices at least twice, for 30 more minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the ham (but not touching bone or fat) registers 140°F (60°C).
- 5. Transfer the ham to a cutting board or a serving platter.

As a Wind Power Advisory Committee member, I wish to address questions surrounding the ordinance recently presented to Rumford's Board of Selectmen.
WPAC's goal in crafting this ordinance was the health and safety of Rumford's citizens. WPAC did not target First Wind; we addressed any potential wind power project in Rumford. WPAC's meetings are open to the public, meeting minutes are posted on Rumford's website, and there has been coverage in the media.
The board has questioned proposed setback and noise limits, and why we did not follow the state's "standard model." We chose Dixmont's ordinance as a starting point because it was the most protective. These limits are in line with the World Health Organization's European section, where a long history of wind development has provided ample opportunity to discover where health-impacting mistakes were made.
Bottom line: The proposed ordinance is not anti-wind; it is pro-Rumford.
When Maine Revenue Services presented the WPAC an $80 million model, it showed minimal property tax benefit to Rumford. First Wind's proposed project is $60M (25 percent less); the tax benefits would very likely be less as well.
Finally, First Wind's often angry tone is winning no friends in this debate. I am pro-wind but dismayed by First Wind's consistent inability to present a rational and detailed explanation of the presumed benefits of a wind power project in the River Valley. As a citizen of Rumford, I am quite turned off by its attitude.
Charles Hoff, Rumford

Receptor (biochemistry)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Biochemical receptor)
In biochemistry, receptors are special structures that can be found in cells.These are made of protein molecules such as glycoproteins. Receptors bind (attach) to specialised molecules. If the receptor has this type of molecule, it is activated, but if it does not it is deactivated. Depending on its state, a change inside the cell may happen.
In short, receptors work like locks and keys. With the key, the lock can be locked or unlocked. If it is unlocked, the door belonging to it can be opened.

[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] on rehearing Friday that it had no jurisdiction over Guantanamo detainees' petitions for subject-matter review of "enemy combatant" status decisions by Combatant Status Review Tribunals (CSRT) [DOD materials] in the wake of the US Supreme Court's ruling last year in Boumediene v. Bush [Duke Law backgrounder; JURIST news archive] that found a governing part of the Detainee Treatment Act (DTA) [text] unconstitutional. Agreeing with the government in a case which originally arose in 2007 before Boumediene was decided, Judge Douglas Ginsburg wrote that the subject-matter review provision in the DTA was inextricably linked to the provision eliminating habeas corpus jurisdiction that had been rejected by the high court:
Both the text of the relevant provisions and the enactment of successive jurisdiction-stripping provisions demonstrate clearly that the Congress would not in the DTA have given this court jurisdiction to review CSRT determinations had it known its attempt to remove the courts jurisdiction over habeas petitions would fail.
There is no rational reason why, if Congress had known that habeas jurisdiction had to be preserved, it would have also wanted to give Guantanamo detainees the option of bringing a simultaneous action directly in the court of appeals. Congress designed the direct review regime to limit judicial intervention and to consolidate review in one forum......We believe there is a high probability that a consequence of Boumedienes striking down the legislative bar against habeas jurisdiction is that the direct judicial review provision of the Detainee Treatment Act fell as well. It has long been the rule that if separate statutory provisions are so dependent on each other, as conditions, considerations, or compensations for each other as to warrant a belief that the legislature intended them as a whole, and that, if all could not be carried into effect, the legislature would not pass the residue independently, and some parts are unconstitutional, all the provisions which are thus dependent, conditional, or connected must fall with them.

Just 7 days left! Even if you have guaranteed entry to the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon, you must claim your entry by March 18.
Congratulations to those of you who have successfully entered the 2012 ING New York City Marathon! On November 4, the Fort Wadsworth cannon's blast will mark the start of your epic 26.2-mile journey—and the city that never sleeps will stop for one day to gather en masse and salute your incredible accomplishment.
Getting there will take preparation, determination, and guts, and as you count down to the start, NYRR will help you begin each week with an e-mail highlighting key insights, strategies, information, and tips to help you prepare for the run of your life.
Week 2 – A New York City State of Mind
• Are you ready for the buzz? Whether you're walking around the corner or flying thousands of miles, you'll be in NYC for one of the biggest experiences of your life. There's so much for you and your friends and family to see and do here, marathon-related and otherwise!
• We have a full race-week schedule of events. Think you can fit it all in?
• What's a trip to New York City without great deals? NYRR and our partners offer many exciting offers and discounts.
• I'm In! Contest - Tell us which I'm In for the Run of My Life e-mail was the most helpful, motivational, informative, or memorable, and you'll be entered for a chance to win an exclusive Finisher Package, including an official marathon jacket, an 8x10 marathon photo from Brightroom, and your marathon finisher medal engraved. Enter the contest. Check out the contest rules.
Week 3: Taper Tutorial
• Scale Back - This is the time to scale back on your running and all physical activity. Taper your mileage to 70 percent of your peak. Your training plan should include specific instructions for these last few weeks. Trust your plan and go with the taper.
• Be Prepared - Use this time to finish up your pre-race prep, with our "No Surprises" Marathon Preparation Checklist. Also, check out ASICS Support Your Marathoner, a website where friends and family can cheer you on by uploading videos, text, and images that will be broadcast on the course on race day.
• A Pre-marathon Warm-up – If you like to do a short run the day before your marathon, take advantage of the NYRR Dash to the Finish Line 5K on Saturday, November 3. Friends and family can run with you, and you can all get in the marathon spirit together
Week 4: Go the Distance
• Your Last Long Run…. This is the week of the most mileage in your marathon training program. This final long run will be a great indicator of how ready you are for the marathon.
• Long Run Dress Rehearsal… Do everything the way you'll do it on marathon day. This includes you plan to eat and drink the day and night before you run and during the run itself. Have the same thing for breakfast as you plan to have on November 4. Wear the same thing you'll be wearing on race day. Test out the clothing and shoes you plan to race in.
• Contest - Tell us about your last long run—your fueling, pacing, attire, and gear—and be entered for a chance to win one of two limited-edition orange-and-blue Marathon Magic Bullet blenders, the favorite blender of runners everywhere! Enter the contest now. Get more information about the Magic Bullet. Be sure to check out the contest rules.
Week 5: You are Human, Your Training Program Isn't!
• This is the point in training where some runners become concerned that they haven't done enough because they did not follow their training program 100%. If this applies to you, remember what NYRR's Coach John says: "Your goal is to get to the start of the race healthy." You can accomplish this goal even if you've missed a workout or shortened a long run here and there. If your attention wandered a little during the past weeks, now is the time get yourself motivated.
• Are You 80% There? With less than five weeks to go before the marathon, take time to evaluate your training. Have you done 80% of what your program recommended? If you have, you're ideally positioned to arrive at the start healthy and fit. If you've done more than 80%, be careful that you're not overtraining, and ease up these last several weeks.
• 60% or Less. Whether it's the pressures of your job, or bad weather, or other events that have kept you from training, with a month to go, you still have time to get in one or two long runs. Revisit your training plan, re-focus, and make the remaining weeks a strong effort toward overall conditioning.
Week 6: Test Your Race Day Strategy
• You've been training hard and doing the distance. With six weeks to go, this is a good time to test and finalize your race day strategies for pace, mindfulness, and logistics. Race day is not the time to try something new. Take time now to tweak and practice so that by the time you get to race day you'll feel ready and confident.
• If you feel you will need help with pace on race day, sign up for an ING Runner's Nation Pace Team Powered by Timex when you arrive at the expo to pick up your marathon materials.
• You can find inspiration by wearing the ING Run for Something Better orange laces . By wearing them you'll be supporting kids' running and fitness, and supporting a worthy cause might bring you inspiration and good luck on race day!
Week 7: Your Fueling Formula
• With just over six weeks to go until November 4, now is the time to determine your race-day fueling and hydration strategy. Experiment with different foods and beverages, so that by race day you'll know exactly what your body needs to sustain energy for 26.2 miles.
• In the Fort Wadsworth staging area on Staten Island, NYRR will be providing a free breakfast consisting of tea, Poland Spring® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water, Gatorade® G Series Pro Prime and Gatorade® G Series Pro Endurance Formula, PowerBars®, and Dunkin' Donuts coffee Feel free to bring your favorite pre-race breakfast, too!
• For an indication of your hydration level, just check your urine! Light yellow is good, the color of apple juice means you may need more fluid. Sports fuel like the Gatorade® G Series Pro Prime Pouch is also a popular way to add to your daily intake of B vitamins that help convert carbohydrates to energy.
Week 9: Fall Training Gear Do's
• You've trained your way through the summer--now learn to dress for training sucess in autumn!
• Tell NYRR why you love running in the fall, and you'll be entered for a chance to win one of five ASICS Favorite Long-Sleeve T-shirts. Be sure to check out the rules before entering the contest.
Week 12: A Running Vacation
• August is vacation time, but you are training for the 2012 ING New York City Marathon? Not to worry! We have some ideas to help you enjoy your vacation AND keep training your body and mind for the big race to come.
Week 13: Keep Your Head in the Race

Check out these training & injury prevention tips from the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), so you can minimize your risk of injury and maximize your performance.
Week 15: Keep Your Summer Cool: Fueling & Hydration in the Heat

Longtime New York Congressman Ed Towns, D-N.Y., announced Monday that he will not seek re-election for a sixteenth term in November.
Towns, who has served in the House since 1983, said that his decision not to seek re-election came after months of long family discussions.
"I am very grateful for the support we have received over the years," Towns said in a statement. "I believe firmly that we would have won a 16th term had we decided to run."
He added, "It has been an honor to have fought so that the people of New York can have more opportunities and a chance to live better lives."
The announcement comes as Towns had been facing a tough primary challenge from New York Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries. New York City Councilman Charles Barron is also running for the seat.
A statement from President Barack Obama praised Towns' efforts to improve the public healthcare system, strengthen consumer protections and improve the public education system.

The Interlibrary Loan/RACER Service supplements local resources by obtaining research materials not owned or accessible at Brock from other libraries. This service is available to Brock faculty, registered students, and staff.
Brock alumni with an Alumni card, and members of the Brock community who have obtained an Extramural Borrowing card with research privileges from Circulation Services may use the Interlibrary Loan service to request books and microformat materials. Due to copyright and license restrictions, alumni and extramural borrowers are not eligible for document delivery of journal articles or photocopies of chapters from books.
The Interlibrary Loan unit (905-688-5550 ext.3235) is located within Circulation Services on the main floor of the Library. Staff are available Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the Fall/Winter sessions. Spring/Summer hours may vary. Assistance is also available after these hours from the Help Desk throughout the year. Please check the Library Home Page for Library Hours.
Books, journal articles, government publications, conference proceedings, reports, Canadian theses, and microfilm / microfiche can be requested.
Materials at Brock, even if signed out or on reserve, cannot be requested. Other materials not available for loan include:
Entire journal issues
Reference titles
Audiovisual materials (videos, CDs, etc.)
Electronic books (e-books)
Unpublished, international (including U.S.) dissertations and theses.
The Library subsidizes the costs of obtaining research materials from Canadian libraries for Brock faculty, registered students and staff. Requests for material only obtainable from U.S. or international locations can be made by faculty, graduate students, and staff. Lending and copying charges apply.
Requests for material for personal interest are not subsidized. Please inquire at the Circulation Services Desk or Help Desk for more details. Alumni and Community (Extramural) Borrowers are charged on a cost recovery basis.

Have you checked the Brock Library Catalogue for the item needed? Material identified as available in the James A. Gibson Library may be requested only when certified as 'missing' by Circulation Services.
The Interlibrary Loan system (RACER) will notify faculty, students and staff via e-mail when material arrives, or if there is some difficulty in locating the item. Users are responsible for monitoring the status of their requests. Materials (books) must be picked up and returned at the Circulation Services Desk. Please note that the lending library may stipulate special conditions that must be followed (e.g. the book/microform might be restricted to 'In-Library Use Only'). Book bands that identify the material as an Interlibrary Loan must not be removed. Photocopies of journal articles must also be picked up at the Circulation Services Desk, but are for the borrower's retention.
For books, the due date is indicated on the book band, with no renewals. The loan period may vary according to the policy of the lending library. Due dates are important. Your cooperation is appreciated. Failure to return materials by the due date may result in the suspension of borrowing privileges, and delay the processing of additional requests. Replacement costs set by the lending library, plus processing fees, will be charged for very overdue or lost materials.
Regular requests may take up to five to ten working days depending on the lending library. Please submit your requests well in advance.
Users selecting the RACER Pickup Location: James A. Gibson Library, can pick up processed materials at the James A. Gibson Library's Circulation Services Desk. Users are notified by e-mail to pick up materials during Library Hours. Circulating RACER materials picked up at either location can be returned directly to the IRC Hamilton Campus or the James A. Gibson Library's Circulation Services Desk.
Users selecting the RACER Pickup Location: Instructional Resources Centre (IRC) Hamilton Campus are required to include the following note in the RACER form's Special Instructions box: Please forward materials to the IRC Hamilton Campus. This will ensure that these materials will be forwarded from the James A. Gibson Library to the Hamilton IRC Campus. Users will be notified by e-mail when materials have been processed. However, materials are forwarded to the IRC Hamilton Campus by intercampus delivery twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday. Please note that it may take up to 3 additional working days for RACER processed materials to arrive at this location. It is recommended that users contact the IRC Hamilton Campus directly to determine the availability of RACER materials and library hours.

The lending Library will determine whether a damaged item is beyond repair. If the lost, missing or stolen material is returned to the Library within one calendar year of the Invoice for Lost Library Material being issued the flat rate fee of $75.00 will be refunded. Please note that the Library does not accept suitable replacement copies.
• Overdue ILL materials $1.50 per day per item.
• Overdue ILL recalled materials $2 per day per item.

Copies of articles or documents provided through the Interlibrary Loan Service are made according to the limits specified under Canadian copyright law, or under the terms of agreement each university has with Access Copyright, or other electronic resource providers. Generally, this means that current Brock students, faculty and staff may request a single copy of one article from one journal issue, or more than one article provided that the total number of pages does not exceed 10% of the issue. If your request exceeds the limit, you will be advised that your request cannot be filled. Systematic, cumulative copying is prohibited. Submission of the Interlibrary Loan request constitutes agreement that the materials received will be used for the purpose of research or private study only, and that the requestor has not previously received a copy of the article/document being requested.

Authorities are looking for a 62-year-old Prescott Valley man who is wanted for allegedly running his vehicle into an unmarked car and then fleeing from them on Wednesday.
Prescott Police and Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking (PANT) are looking for Martin Andrew Zinkl.
Officers attempted to stop Zinkl's van and trailer near Willow Creek Road and Highway 89A because they believed he was traveling with a man wanted by PANT. They also reportedly knew Zinkl's Arizona driver's license was suspended.
As the officer approached Zinkl's van, police say he started to pull away and then struck the front of an unmarked PANT vehicle as it tried to block him from escaping.
Two detectives inside the vehicle weren't injured.
Police say Zinkl continued down the road, through Heritage Park, down an embankment and onto a trail.
He allegedly abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot.
Officers didn't follow Zinkl down the embankment.
Police with K-9 teams continued to search the area for several hours, but weren't able to find Zinkl.
Zinkl is wanted for Aggravated Assault on Police Officers and Failing to Stop for Law Enforcement.
He's described as a white male, 5'10", 150 pounds, with long stringy brown hair. He was last seen wearing a straw hat and a dark colored t-shirt.
