NASHVILLE, Tenn. — On Taylor Swift's new album, "Red," there's a song where the 22-year-old superstar sings about a fictional one: a famous singer who spends years under the glare of the spotlight, then ditches her uncomfortable fame for a life of solitude.
It sounds like Swift might be mapping out her eventual exit plan on "The Lucky One," which depicts the troubling side of celebrity: tabloids, paparazzi, living life in a bubble. It's certainly a scenario the multimillion-selling Swift can relate to: She's become a fixture in the gossip pages, especially with her penchant for famous boyfriends, including her most recent beau, Conor Kennedy of the storied political clan.
But if "Lucky One" has a plotline that Swift would eventually like to live out, for now, it's just a daydream: Swift has come to embrace her larger-than-life status — and all the headaches that come with it.
"There's a lot of trade-offs. There's the microscope that's always on you. The camera flashes, the fear that something you say will be taken the wrong way and you'll let your fans down. There's the fear that you'll be walking down the street and your skirt will blow up and you'll be in the news for three months," says Swift, sitting at her dining room table in her apartment in Nashville, dressed in a playful black shirt decorated with dogs and an appropriate red skirt. Her house is decorated with a whimsical flair: flower-decorated walls, a small pond in the living room, kitschy mismatched chairs and hanging from a perch in her living room, dangling paper cutouts of her age, "22."
As she rattles off a few more of the negatives of being in the limelight, she adds: "You're scared of a lot of things for a lot of the time, but the trade-off of being able to get on a big stage and sing your songs — it's worth it."
Swift is perhaps on the biggest stage of her young career with the release of "Red," out Monday. She's already scored her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the Max Martin/Shellback-produced "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." The song is still in the top 10, and has company with her new song, "I Knew You Were Trouble," which takes the country star into further pop territory with its use of auto-tune and dance synths.
While "Red" still has plenty of tunes that cater to her country fan base, as Swift was crafting the album, she was determined to "step outside my comfort zone."
"On my fourth album, I wanted to do something that wasn't what I've done for the first three," she says.
Scott Borchetta, head of Big Machine Records, has worked with Swift since she was a teenager and watched her grow from a promising young country ingenue to one of music's best-selling artists.He encouraged her to seek out producers like Martin, best known for crafting hits for Britney Spears, Pink and Kelly Clarkson.
Jeff Bhasker, who's worked with everyone from Beyonce to Fun. to Swift's one-time nemesis Kanye West, was also involved in the making of "Red." Swift emailed him directly after admiring fun.'s bombastic drum sound and soon afterward, they were recording.

The Spencer County Bears opened their season last Monday night with a 73-63 loss at home to Waggener. It was the first game for new coach Jason Burns, and while he would have preferred a victory, the outing did signal an exciting brand of basketball from a young team that won't easily give up.
Seven Spencer County runners competed at the AAU National Cross Country Meet at Fort Gordon, Ga., this past weekend. These runners are part of the Kentucky Elite Running Club, a team of select runners from around the state of Kentucky. The meet was attended by teams from Florida, Ohio, Georgia, New York, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, California and more. Local donations paid for the runners meals during this three-day trip. Results for the Spencer County runners are as follows:
While the national media gnashes its teeth about Kobe Bryant's come-back, Robinson Cano's bank roll, and Jameis Winston's well-being (sniff), let us visit the Department of Amazing: Bowling Green High's football team won a third straight state championship last weekend. The Purples finished 14-0. Bowling Green has a 44-game win streak. Last time the Purples didn't win a game, star running back with a marvelous name, Blue Tisdale, was in seventh grade. Amazing. ...

Kentucky's gritty test against Providence on the road was no more than demonstration how superior talent prevails over team. The Wildcats face a string of legitimate opponents this month who won't be impressed by tiresome media swoon and TV analytic blow-hards creating a stardom level to exhaust even the wonderfully gifted Julius Randle. Reality we saw: The Man on Kentucky's McDonalds all-team is not Randle, nor the Harrison twins or trigger-itch James Young. It's sophomore Willie Cauley-Stein.
For the last 20 years, television producers have squeezed their last ounce of creativity and, in some cases sanity, to develop the latest craze in reality television. But despite all their efforts, they'll never match the unscripted excitement, unpredictability and drama of televised sporting events. For proof, talk to anyone who was watching the Alabama-Auburn football game Saturday evening.
Winds blowing straight from Santa Claus' abode at the North Pole rocketed across Kentucky this past week, bringing with them the start of reservoir smallmouth bass fishing season. "From now into late winter, if you can stand it, is the best time of year to catch trophy smallmouth bass," said John Williams, southeastern fisheries district biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "The whole cold water period of the year is the most productive time for large smallmouths."
Kaleigh Jolly, 13, harvested a 12-point non-typical deer recently on a farm in Spencer County. Kaleigh is the daughter of Maggie Chandler and Kyle Jolly.
The power to set the agenda is one that should be exercised with great caution. Unfortunately, that power is too-often placed in the hands and minds of those who would rather push an agenda than simply set it.

After i attended the GWU v UNC ass raping. me and a buddy went over to Duke because he had never seen the campus.
We walked around and ended up in front of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Now wether your a Duke fan, a UNC fan or you hate both. You gotta respect the tradition and enthusiasm that Cameron exudes.
anyway. we see an open door. we decide what the hell, all they can do is kick us out (or arrest us for trespassing) we walk right in to the Visitor locker room. hung around checked things out, picked up stuff it was freakin awesome.
We heard something so we busted out running like little girls so we wouldnt get caught. Then we see a tour group of some young basketball players getting a tour. So we jump in line and act like we are with them.
The dude lets us walk straight in. as the group wanders off we act like we are reading things and stay behind. For the next 30 minutes, we used one of college basketballs holiest places as our own personal playground.
We went into EVERY nook and cranny inspecting things and just checking it out. walked into several offices like we were supposed to be there or something. it was great. checking out the trophies and such. and for you UNC fans, i took a dump and didnt flush, so there ya go i did that for you. then we found the media room. where they do all the post game stuff. i immediately sat down and pretended to give a press conference and pulled a chaney and started screaming at the pretend media. Yes i am a 24 business owner pretending to be a coach like i was 10 years old again. and i loved it.
then we walked onto the court and there were a couple custodians and some assistant coaches and what not. Then shooting around a little in some gym clothes was freaking Jay Williams. So we walked by him the ball rolls to me, i flip it to him and say good luck with the comeback. he smiles and says thanks and goes on with his little mini workout or whatever.
Then we walked out completly baffled at what just happened. It may not sound cool to you, but for me it was amazing. I spent the whole sunday in the dean dome, and Cameron indoor stadium. its a sports trip to remember for sure.

A new photo book entitled 'American Youth' was recently released. This glossy, 240-page photographic document features snapshots and extended photo essays on young people from all across the United States, from all walks of life: races and ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds, and more. The subjects' commonality is their age (those who come of age this decade a.k.a. people born between 1982-1991) and their country of residence.
Read more...I'm an 18 year old girl with almost no sexual experience. This weekend I fooled around with my boyfriend for the first time ever and realized something--I was getting wet, but not horny. I also realized I hadn't been horny at all in the past few months. Is something wrong with me? How do I get my sex drive back?
I only rented Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist recently, so I know I'm behind the curve on this one. But I just had to say something.
I loved this movie. I loved it as a person just chilling out on her couch wanting to watch something good, and I loved it even more as someone who works with and for teenagers and young adults. When I looked up the director, I was unsurprised that I'd liked it so much. Peter Sollett also directed Raising Victor Vargas, which is one of the best, most honest and real coming-of-age films I've ever seen.
Read more...It seems as if girls at my school are very experienced sexually. They all talk about hooking up, giving head, getting head, getting fingered, and all that sort of thing. I, having never even kissed a boy or had a boyfriend, feel a bit left behind. I wanted to know if most girls my age, 15 (like on average), have had sexual experience like this.
I am worried about sex, and I don't think its normal at my age (24) but I don't know what to do about it. I was raised in a really strict family and so I didn't lose my virginity til I was 21 which was really way later than everyone else, even my younger sister. I wasn't really ready but I was sort of curious and I did it to please my boyfriend and lots of other reasons. We dated for about a year and I had sex with two more guys after I split up with him but mainly from feeling like I should to fit in. I haven't had a serious boyfriend in ages now, and I'm afraid to have another relationship cos I think it will surely involve sex. I know in theory you can say no, but hey, what guy is going to stick around with me when he can get it from any other girl on the street? It doesn't seem realistic. When I think about sex I just get scared, cos I feel like I don't know at all what to do, and its not like I was even an adventurous teenager so I can't give head or anything either. I really don't know how to do anything except kiss. But I'm sure most guys are expecting way more than that! I don't want to become a slut just to learn but I can't claim to be a virgin any more so I don't know what to do. In my ideal world I'd like to be with a guy for at least a year before sleeping together, maybe wait til marriage, but I am scared to even admit that's what I want cos I know its not normal. Please help! I'm worried that being so messed up about this will mean no decent guy will want to be with me.
I've been with my girlfriend for nearly six months now. I've always had a bit of a problem having sex with people (keeping it up) but this problem has never occurred between me and her. However, lately I've begun to feel very guilty about the physical action of having sex. The act of penetration is a great experience physically, but when I think about what I'm doing I feel like I'm stabbing her, or performing some kind of violent act on her. We haven't had sex yet since I started REALLY feeling like this (which was a little more than three weeks ago) but if we are making out and begin to have dry sex I often start to cry from the idea of what I am doing to her. She's very compassionate and understanding, and I have told her all of this, but I want it to stop. I need to know how to make myself stop feeling like I am abusing her when we have sex because considering the times we've had sex before I had this mindset, it's been an incredible experience of expressing our love to each other, and I'd really like to have that back.
I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 28. We've been having sex for a year now and we have not been very careful at all. We never use condoms! It's weird though cause I have not gotten pregnant. He usually doesn't ejaculate in me LOL but still. . . . I always joke and tell him he's sterile but now I'm really thinking he is. Since I haven't gotten pregnant does this mean there is something wrong with my boyfriend or me? Or does it just mean I'm lucky?
If you have been raped by more than one person but as a result you never stay with a male in fear of becoming close to them and then you find a guy that you really like and you want to trust him but you just can't ... what should I do to make us a trusting couple?

The World's Most Tweeted Brands is an experiment created by JWT to track twitter popularity for the 100 most valuable global brands and the top 50 Brazilian Brands, according to the 2013 BrandZ report.
Tracking down 150 brands on Twitter in real time isn't an easy task and we are continually refining our platform engine to improve accuracy.
Feel free to contact us: firstname.lastname@example.com
For this first experiment we wanted to select a few representative brands to allow comparison between value and social buzz. Top 100 BrandZ report seemed the perfect reference, and since we created this at JWT Brazil we included the top 50 Brazilian also from BrandZ. If you are interested in including a specific brand or having your own version of the World's Most tweeted brands please let us know.
We track mentions for the 150 brands in the last 24 hours on Twitter.
Today we are only displaying metrics for the last 24 hours except for the rank graph that shows a brand rank variation over time. In a near future we plan to offer premium access for additional information, including historical data. If you are interested please let us know.
Not all tweets have location data available. However about 30% of all tweets have some sort of information that allows us to define a user location. That are 2 main ways to get this information: user geo-located tweets (less than 1% of all tweets) and free-form location declared in user profile. The World Map vision shows the share of tweets for each country considering only the total of tweets with location data.
You can find a link to the list view on the home screen menu (bottom section). Once on the list view you will be able to sort brands according to different criteria: alphabetical order, World's Most tweeted brands rank, total # of tweets in the last 24 hours, total # countries with mentions.
The same 150 brands for all tweets from Brazil.
BrandZ rank is displayed in different areas of the site: at the home page - mouse over a brand, at the list view - mouse over the brand rank and at the brand page (world map view).
Yes, at the bottom section it is possible to filter the dashboard by brand segment. This view only displays segments with at list 2 brands.

Tommy Lucchese was born on December 1, 1899, in Palermo, Sicily. He moved to the United States with his family at the age of 11. Lucchese soon started running with a gang in New York's East Harlem neighborhood. There he befriended Lucky Luciano. In 1921, Lucchese was convicted of auto theft. He served his sentence at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. He helped Luciano in his bid for control of the New York criminal underworld in the 1930s. For his assistance,
Luciano rewarded Lucchese with the number-two spot in the Gagliano crime family. In 1953, after 22 years as an underboss, Tommy became the boss of the Lucchese crime family, which he led until his death in 1967.
Early Life and Crimes
Organized crime figure Tommy Lucchese was born Gaetano Lucchese on December 1, 1899, in Palermo, Sicily. He was one of the most notorious New York crime bosses of 20th century. When he was 11 years old, Lucchese immigrated the United States with his family. They settled East Harlem. There his father found work hauling concrete.
Lucchese quickly became affiliated with street gangs. He ran with the 107th Street Gang, which was led by Lucky Luciano. Lucchese's parents pressured him to find honest work. For a short time, Lucchese worked in a machine shop. He was involved in a terrible accident there, in which he lost the thumb and index finger on his right hand.
After the accident, Lucchese returned to his gang and a life of crime. He started a window washing company, which actually became a lucrative extortion racket. Lucchese had a natural talent for criminal enterprises, making up more ways for his gang to bring in cash. In 1921, Lucchese was arrested for stealing a car. He was nicknamed "Three Finger Brown" by one of the police officers because of his damaged right hand and the baseball player Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown.
Lucchese was found guilty of auto theft—it was his first and only conviction. He was sent to Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York state for the crime. Reports vary as to how long he spent behind bars, ranging from a little over a year to three years.
Rising Underworld Figure
By the early 1920s, both Lucchese and Luciano had attracted the attention of mob boss Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria. The short, skinny Lucchese soon showed his more vicious side, brutalizing and killing those who got on the wrong side of the mob. According to some reports, Luciano thought of Lucchese as his favorite hit man. The pair were able to convince Masseria to get into bootlegging during Prohibition.
Lucchese and Luciano proved to be master strategists during the Castellammarese War between rival crime bosses Giuseppe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano, which erupted in the late 1920s. Masseria and Maranzano were battling each other for total control of New York. Roughly 100 mobsters died in this lethal power struggle.
On April 13, 1931, Masseria was killed in a restaurant in Coney Island. The Castellemmarese War was over, and Salvatore Maranzano set up a new network of crime families in New York City with himself as top boss.

The Genovese Crime Family
Of the storied Five Families of New York City's mafia, the Genovese family is one of the most powerful. It's believed the Genovese family provided some of the inspiration for Mario Puzo's The Godfather—both had roots in Corleone, Sicily. "Lucky" Luciano of the Genovese family first organized the Five Families in New York City, and those who came after him maintained the Genovese family status as mafia royalty.

Infamous Mobsters
Bootleggers, smugglers, drug dealers, hit men—all these occupations are the provenance of mobsters, who operate in ethnic, family and business networks. Mobsters' real life crimes, and Hollywood's fascination with them, has earned them a special place in the American imagination. From Al Capone's Chicago crime ring to Bugsy Siegel's Las Vegas racket, these mobsters have made their names notorious from coast to coast.

ROSEMONT, Ill. — Iowa's men's basketball team plays only a handful of competitive opponents in non-conference play this fall. But the Hawkeyes face perhaps their toughest test with nobody watching on Sunday.
Iowa will host Creighton in a closed scrimmage Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The session doesn't count with media and spectators prohibited from attending. But it's a chance for Iowa to test itself against a national-level opponent in the Bluejays, who rank 16th by the Associated Press.
"I didn't know that we would be fortunate enough to get somebody of that caliber," Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said.
Creighton finished 29-6 last year and won a NCAA tournament game in March before North Carolina ended the Bluejays' season.
Creighton also pounded Iowa 82-59 in Des Moines last November.
"This year I wanted to play somebody who most people would think would beat us," McCaffery said. "You can't always get that team."
Creighton presents Iowa with challenges, especially in the post. Junior forward Doug McDermott was a first-team All-American last year, averaging 22.9 points and 8.2 rebounds. He hit 60.5 percent of his shots and was the only player nationally to score more than 19 points a game and shoot better than 53 percent from the field. He finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference in 3-point percentage at 48.6.
Senior center Gregory Echenique boasts a massive frame at 6-9 and 260 pounds. He scored 9.3 points and led the Missouri Valley Conference in blocks as the league's top defender last year.
He's a completely different player from his freshman year in 2008-09, McCaffery said.
"I coached against Echenique when he was at Rutgers," McCaffery said. "He was overweight and lazy. We beat them when I was at Siena and our center had 20 and 13 in the first half. When he went to another place, he made sure he listened to his coaches. He got in shape and instead of listening to everybody tell him he's going to get paid, he decided he was going to go get paid. He's going to be a pro.
"I give the kid a lot of credit. I was really impressed with him last year, and they say he's even better now. He became an athlete. You used to have to wait three weeks for him come down the floor. He was still good. You could throw it to him and he could score. But he wasn't involved. Now he's involved, showing up ball screens, coming over, he's blocking shots."
Echenique will provide Iowa freshman center Adam Woodbury with good baseline entering this season. Echenique is a physical marvel and the 7-foot-1 Woodbury (and 6-10 sophomore Gabe Olaseni) will face others like him in Big Ten play.
Creighton's veteran roster puts pressure on defenses. Senior guard and Linn-Mar product Grant Gibbs moves the ball with precision, and the Bluejays are among the nation's best at 3-point shooting. With Iowa struggling to defend last year, the scrimmage gives the Hawkeyes a strong test before opening the season on Nov. 9.
"McDermott obviously is one of the best players in the country," McCaffery said. "But they have good shooters, they have guard play. Gibbs is a great post feeder. He facilitates so well. That's why they're good. They've got all the pieces. Everybody knows their role and everybody does it with a willingness to accept what that is."
Iowa also can play everyone in the scrimmage, including red-shirt candidates. Barring injury, it's likely McCaffery will red-shirt 6-10 forward Kyle Meyer. Red-shirt candidates cannot play in public exhibitions or games.
McCaffery said he likes closed scrimmages because it gives an honest assessment of the team before playing publicly.
"When I was at Siena, we got Temple to scrimmage," McCaffery said. "It was terrific for us. Both of us. We went at it. They were an NCAA team, we were an NCAA team.
"Creighton, we just called them out of the blue. They were looking for one, we were looking for one. So they're coming here, then we'll skip a year because they're playing someone else, and we'll go over there."
Has Coach McCaffery actually come out and said he plans to redshirt Meyer or is this just speculation on your part?
Fran told me if he red-shirts anyone "it's probably Kyle Meyer." Team health is a function of whether he does it or not.

Cytokine-Producing Effector B Cells Regulate Type 2 Immunity to H. polygyrus Immunity, Volume 30, Issue 3, 20 March 2009, Pages 421-433 Wojciech Wojciechowski, David P. Harris, Frank Sprague, Betty Mousseau, Melissa Makris, Kim Kusser, Tasuko Honjo, Katja Mohrs, Markus Mohrs, Troy Randall and Frances E. Lund Summary Immunity to the intestinal parasite Heligomosomoides polygyrus is dependent on the successful generation of T helper 2 (Th2) memory cells. We showed that B cells contribute to immunity against H. polygyrus by producing antibody (Ab) and by promoting expansion and differentiation of primary and memory Th2 cells. We also demonstrated that cytokine-producing effector B cells were essential for effective immunity to H. polygyrus. Tumor necrosis factor alpha production by B cells was necessary for sustained Ab production, whereas interleukin 2 production by B cells was necessary for Th2 cell expansion and differentiation. These results show that B cells mediate protection from pathogens not only by presenting antigen and secreting antibody but also by producing cytokines that regulate the quality and magnitude of humoral and cellular immune responses.

Serine Phosphorylation of Cortactin Controls Focal Adhesion Kinase Activity and Cell Scattering Induced by Helicobacter pylori Cell Host & Microbe, Volume 9, Issue 6, 16 June 2011, Pages 520-531 Nicole Tegtmeyer, Ruth Wittelsberger, Roland Hartig, Silja Wessler, Narcisa Martinez-Quiles and Steffen Backert Summary Cell migration and invasion require the coordinated regulation of cytoskeletal architectural changes by signaling factors, including the actin-binding protein cortactin. Bacterial and viral pathogens subvert these signaling factors to promote their uptake, spread and dissemination. We show that the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori (Hp) targets cortactin by two independent processes leading to its tyrosine dephosphorylation and serine phosphorylation to regulate cell scattering and elongation. The phosphorylation status of cortactin dictates its subcellular localization and signaling partners. Upon infection, cortactin was found to interact with and stimulate the kinase activity of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). This interaction required the SH3 domain and phosphorylation of cortactin at serine 405 and a proline-rich sequence in FAK. Using Hp as a model, this study unravels a previously unrecognized FAK activation pathway. We propose that Hp targets cortactin to protect the gastric epithelium from excessive cell lifting and ensure sustained infection in the stomach. Summary | Full Text | PDF (1588 kb) |
The trypanolytic factor–mechanism, impacts and applications Trends in Parasitology, Volume 26, Issue 9, 1 September 2010, Pages 457-464 Richard J. Wheeler Abstract The Trypanosoma brucei subspecies T. brucei brucei is non-human infective due to susceptibility to lysis by trypanolytic factor (TLF) in human serum. Reviewed here are the advances which have revealed apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1), found in high density lipoprotein, as the lysis-inducing component of TLF, the means of uptake via haptoglobin-related protein receptor and the mechanism of resistance in T. b. rhodesiense via its serum resistance-associated (SRA) protein. The first practical steps to application of these discoveries are now in progress; transgenic animals expressing either baboon or minimally truncated human ApoL1 show resistance to both T. b. brucei and T. b. rhodesiense. This has major implications for treatment and prevention of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (303 kb) |

We have found an allelic deletion of the haptoglobin (Hp) gene from an individual with anhaptoglobinemia. The Hp gene cluster consists of coding regions of the α chain and β chain of the haptoglobin gene (Hp) and of the α chain and β chain of the haptoglobin-related gene (Hpr), in tandem from the 5′ side. Southern blot and PCR analyses have indicated that the individual with anhaptoglobinemia was homozygous for the gene deletion and that the gene deletion was included at least from the promoter region of Hp to Hpr α but not to Hpr β (Hpdel). In addition, we found seven individuals with hypohaptoglobinemia in three families, and the genotypes of six of the seven individuals were found to be Hp2/Hpdel. The phenotypes and genotypes in one of these three families showed the father to be hypohaptoglobinemic (Hp2) and Hp2/Hpdel, the mother to be Hp2-1 and Hp1/Hp2, one of the two children to be hypohaptoglobinemic (Hp2) and Hp2/Hpdel, and the other child to be Hp1 and Hp1/Hpdel, showing an anomalous inheritance of Hp phenotypes in the child with Hp1. The Hp2/Hpdel individuals had an extremely low level of Hp (mean±SD = 0.049±0.043 mg/ml; n=6), compared with the level (1.64±1.07 mg/ml) obtained from 52 healthy volunteers having phenotype Hp2, whereas the serum Hp level of an individual with Hp1/Hpdel was 0.50 mg/ml, which was approximately half the level of Hp in control sera from the Hp1 phenotype (1.26±0.33 mg/ml; n=9), showing a gene-dosage effect. The other allele (Hp2) of individuals with Hp2/Hpdel was found to have, in all exons, no mutation, by DNA sequencing. On the basis of the present study, the mechanism of anhaptoglobinemia and the mechanism of anomalous inheritance of Hp phenotypes were well explained. However, the mechanism of hypohaptoglobinemia remains unknown.

Corsica, seen from the ferry, already promised to be stunning. Leaning against the railing we were already planning our first downhill runs in the ravines, visible from afar. |
We didn't hesitate for too long. The first downhill run was the last of the day - amazing lighting, with beautiful serpentine and winding singletrack overlooking the coast under the sun's last rays. |
In Corte we decided to go to the western part of the island, to Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. We drove less than 80km/h for over two hours and that was on the main road. |

June 9, 2008There are many American Streets in Philadelphia. Or, strictly speaking, there's one American Street in about twenty different pieces… William Penn's and Thomas Holme's original Philadelphia grid pattern, developed in the 1680s, has proven to be a major influence on city plans across the United States; Manhattan's grid pattern owes a debt to it, and Queens adopted [...]

There are few things that more aptly represent the caring fabric of our community than the regular community suppers that take place in the county.
Especially in the last several years, when times have been tough for many of us, the suppers have offered relief from hunger — not just hunger of the belly, but hunger of the heart. For many, the gathering represents an important social event, offering fellowship and camaraderie.
The Quincy Community Supper is celebrating its 10th year of serving weekly Wednesday evening meals at the Community United Methodist Church fellowship hall at High and Church streets. An average gathering at the supper includes college students, families, community leaders and friends meeting to socialize. There is often music performed by local musician Kenny Davis.
It is truly an event.
And the supper doesn't cost a dime. Donations from guests, volunteers and others who are able to contribute are always welcome. But the supper is freely offered.
In keeping with the community supper's original 2002 vision, the meal is not intended as a soup kitchen to feed the poor. It is designed as a focal point for a non-denominational gathering of neighbors and visitors.
People from all walks of life contribute to the supper. Every Wednesday in Quincy, volunteers from one of more than 42 organizations prepare and host the 6 p.m. supper, which is open to the entire community.
A typical meal consists of an entrée, a salad, a side, dessert and simple beverages. Volunteers plan the meals, shop for and purchase the food, set up tables and chairs and meet in the church kitchen beforehand to prepare the dishes.
As guests fill the fellowship hall, volunteer servers line up behind tables laden with food and heap high the plates of diners filing past. Afterward, the volunteers box up leftover food as take-out meals for those requesting them, and clean up.
Many of the volunteers enjoy the experience so much that they come back to offer their time again and again.
Anyone interested in contributing to the weekly supper can call the Community United Methodist Church at 283-1740, or the Plumas Crisis Intervention and Resource Center at 283-5515.
Nearly 60,000 meals have been served in Quincy since the supper's inception. And we are thrilled to see that the community supper is more popular than ever.
Quincy isn't the only town to offer these gatherings. In Chester, community suppers are held every second and third Thursday, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Hall, 225 Gay St. In Greenville, diners can attend community suppers at the Greenville Community United Methodist Church on Pine Street the last Monday of the month at 5:30 p.m.
We applaud those who have given, and continue to give, their time to these longstanding projects. By supporting cohesive and sustainable communities, the suppers represent more than just free meals: they are yet another reason Plumas County is a special place to live.

2010 Senate Concurrent Resolution 35: Reject 3 percent state employee pay hike (Senate Roll Call 83)
Failed 22 to 15 in the Senate on March 3, 2010, to reject a 3 percent state government employee pay increase for the 2010-2011 fiscal year (which begins on Oct. 1, 2010). Reportedly the raise will cost $77.3 million. A two-thirds majority is required in both the House and Senate to pass the measure, and the House leadership refused to bring it up for a vote.

Senate Roll Call 83 on 2010 Senate Concurrent Resolution 35

In this case, as a party to the contract, they have the right to intervene in the contract.
Senator Switalski's statement is as follows: The Legislature faces two bad choices: Either we can spend money we don't have, or we can cheapen our word. I believe freezing pay is the lesser of two evils.
Senator Bishop's statement is as follows:
Not to beat a dead horse, today but this, in fact, is Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 35, the resolution to reject the employee pay raise. As the members will note, we took this up in the past and it was earlier in the month on March 3 when we took it up last time. Since then, we have had a chance to go back to our districts to talk to our constituents—to hear from the folks we represent—about what is important to them. We didn't get the number of votes necessary last time, but I am hoping this time with the new information that we have been able to acquire from our districts and hindsight being as strong as it is, I think it is important for us to discuss this again and take it up for another vote. I want to remind members that we have, again, 15 percent unemployment in this state. Businesses are fleeing our state. Families are going along with it. We hear it every day. Our economy is spiraling downward out of control, and yet, we have the audacity—and when I say "we," I mean the government by way of the administration—to propose the increase of pay to our state employees, while the rest of our state and the rest of our private sector see dramatic reductions in their benefits and in their salaries. This is clearly leading against the will of the people that we represent. It is contrary to why I came to Lansing and why I serve in the position that I do and why you serve in the position that you do. We have the trust and confidence of the people we represent for a reason. It is our responsibility to represent them well. This is not representing them well when we don't look at the writing on the wall. We have all of this happening around us. We just saw one of the world's largest corporations in GM fold up and go into bankruptcy. We are seeing our school districts fighting for their lives; law enforcement layoffs, so we don't have cops in the street. Yet we are willing to pay our employees more, to the tune of $77 million, so that we have to cut back in other areas like law enforcement and education. I would just like to know from those who decide to vote against this which priority item will you cut to stick to your guns on this pay increase. Which will it be: education, law enforcement, environment? What other hot-ticket items are you willing to ignore just to defend the status quo and allow this pay increase to go through? I want to make a note that last week, there was a discussion about the legality. I want to refer to this claim of an unfair labor practice. There has been no discussion as to where the cite is on this, but the law is clearly defined when it comes to unfair labor practices in the U.S. Code, 29 USC 158 of the National Labor Relations Act, which limits the means by which employers may react to workers in the private sector and create labor unions, engage in collective bargaining, and take part in other activities to support their demands. However, specifically in Section 2 of that part of the code it says the act does not apply to federal, state, or local government workers—does not apply. However, our State Constitution, which I take very seriously, is very clear and unambiguous in Article 11, Section 5, where in it provides that the legislature within 60 days by a two-thirds vote of both chambers may reject the pay increase. Specifically, in the Constitution, the Legislature is granted the authority to reject the pay increase. I would argue that we have the responsibility, under the circumstances, to step up pursuant to the Constitution and reject this pay increase.

Brodmann Areas of 14 Month Old Brain
The Brodmann Areas delineate parts of the brain that perform certain sensory tasks. Korbinian Brodmann devised his map of the brain in 1909 based solely on the organization of the cells in different regions. Since then many of the areas he defined have been correlated with diverse cortical functions for instance movement sight hearing touch and language. In the first year of life neural connections in the brain are being made especially rapidly. By the end of the first year the infant brain resembles that of an adult more than that of a newborn. Because babies' brains are so receptive and mature very quickly in the first year appropriate stimulation is particularly important.

* Audit accused of helping Parmalat insiders loot company
* Judge says decade of litigation should end
By Jonathan Stempel
April 11 (Reuters) - Grant Thornton LLP won the dismissal of a lawsuit that accused the auditor of helping enable theft that contributed to the 2003 collapse of Italian dairy company Parmalat SpA.
U.S. District Judge John Darrah in Chicago, Grant Thornton's hometown, adopted the 2009 findings of a Manhattan federal judge in ruling against Parmalat and Enrico Bondi, its foreign representative and former chief executive.
The Manhattan judge, Lewis Kaplan, agreed with Grant Thornton and two affiliates that Parmalat was not excused from a legal doctrine, known as 'in pari delicto,' that prevents a company from recovering for its own fraud.
Darrah recently took over the case, and in an April 9 decision rejected Bondi's effort to move it to Cook County Circuit Court, an Illinois state court.
'These cases have remained unresolved for nearly 10 years, and it is unlikely that a remand back to state court will result in more timely dispositions,' he wrote. 'The entry of summary judgment in favor of defendants should be respected.'
Bondi had argued that there remained disputed issues under Illinois law that should be addressed.
Thomas Cushing, a lawyer for Bondi, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Known for its long-shelf-life milk, Parmalat filed for insolvency protection in Italy in December 2003 with about 14 billion euros (US$18.4 billion) of debt, after uncovering a 4 billion euro (US$5.2 billion) hole in its balance sheet.
The Collecchio, Italy-based company was restructured in 2005. It is now 83 percent-owned by privately held French dairy company Lactalis, following a 4.3 billion euro (US$5.6 billion) takeover in 2011.
In the wake of Parmalat's collapse, Bondi sued dozens of banks, auditors and others, accusing them of helping insiders loot the company. He accused Grant Thornton of helping set up fake transactions that enabled insiders to steal.
In his 2009 ruling, Kaplan rejected the argument that the insiders' 'looting and squandering even a small portion of corporate assets' entitled the new Parmalat to recover for the old Parmalat's wrongdoing.
'Plaintiffs simply cannot get around the fact that Parmalat, by means of the transactions complained of, raised and spent millions of euros for corporate purposes,' Kaplan wrote. 'The actions of its agents in so doing were in furtherance of the company's interests even if some of the agents intended at the time they assisted in raising the money to steal some of it.'
Grant Thornton spokesman Tim Blair said the firm was pleased with Darrah's decision, which reinforces that 'Parmalat and its representatives cannot sue based on their own wrongdoing.'
The case is Bondi v. Grant Thornton International et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, No. 04-06031.

understanding plagiarism
Plagiarism is difficult to define concisely because of the variety of ways for which it can be committed. Generally defined, plagiarism is fraudulently using someone else's ideas or work as one's own. However, educators agree that plagiarism is cheating, whether it is intentional or unintentional. The examples of plagiarism below should provide a better understanding.
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke Academic Honor Code sets forth the standards of academic honesty and integrity for students at UNCP and describes attendant faculty responsibilities. Students and faculty are expected to be familiar with its provisions. This Code defines student behavior which violates the standards (Section III), and enumerates the penalties for violations and the circumstances under which such penalties may be imposed (Section IV). Section V sets forth the procedures for dealing with cases where a violation of the Academic Honor Code is alleged. Section VI provides advice to faculty members.

Black chokeberry provides landscape interest through the seasons. In spring, this native shrub's pink-tinged buds open to masses of white flowers set off by glossy green foliage. Plump black fruits ripen in late summer and persist into the winter. Some birds will eat the fruit in late winter or early spring when it softens.
Black chokeberry shrubs (especially some of the cultivars) develop outstanding fiery red and orange fall foliage. A suckering plant, black chokeberry develops spreading clumps of slender, upright stems, making it an excellent choice for mass planting.
Common name: Black chokeberry Botanical name: Aronia melanocarpa Plant type: Woody shrub Zones: 4 to 9 Height: 5 to 8 feet Width: 8 to 12 feet Family: Rosaceae, rose family
Growing conditions Sun: Full sun or partial shade. Soil: Average loam or sandy soils. Slightly acidic pH is best. Moisture: Prefers evenly moist, well-drained sites, but tolerates drier conditions.
Care Mulch: 1 to 3 inches of organic mulch such as wood chips, ground bark, shredded leaves, or pine straw. Pruning: Cut back to reduce height. Thin plants by removing selected stems at ground level. Limit spread by removing suckers. Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer once per year if needed.
Propagation • Transplant suckers in early spring. • Sow cleaned seeds in outdoor seedbeds in fall. Seedlings will emerge in spring.
Pests and diseases • Several fungal diseases cause leaf spots.
Garden notes • Black chokeberry has a leggy growth habit, becoming fairly open on the lower part of the stems. Because of this, the shrub is not a good choice for hedges, though it does work well for wider mass plantings. • The fruits are astringent when eaten fresh (hence the name chokeberry!), but they can be cooked, pressed, and sweetened for juices, jams, and jellies. • Because black chokeberry grows well in moist soil, it's a good choice for planting near ponds or streams.
Cultivars • 'Autumn Magic': Excellent red fall color; plants are more compact than the species. • Iroquois Beauty: Dwarf form that grows 2 to 3 feet tall. • 'Viking': Red fall color; large fruits are suitable for juice and jelly.
All in the family • Red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia) also has excellent fall foliage color. It has red berries. Purple chokeberry (Aronia x prunifolia) is a naturally occurring hybrid between red and black chokeberries. • The rose family is a very large group and contains many important ornamental and edible plants. Some other flowering shrubs in this family include flowering quince (Chaenomeles), Amelanchier, cotoneasters, Photinia, Potentilla, and spireas.
