4.18/5 rDev -0.5%
App - gorgeous dark red color, thick off-white head with good retention
Aroma- A plummy, fruitcake kind of smell. Very sweet, definitely no hop. Pure malt bomb. No unpleasant or off aromas.
Taste - Initially malty, but not overly sweet. Some alcohol evident in flavor profile. Not nearly as overpoweringly malty or fruity as the aroma indicates. A gentle sweetness tempered with a little bitterness and some alcohol - very easy transition to a clean malty finish.
MF - medium body, modest carbonation. Some alcohol warming, but well controlled and style appropriate.
D'ability - Not as syrupy sweet as some doppelbocks, so probably more drinkable than some.

Weihenstephan is my favorite brewer for a reason.I had never heard of this one actually before my friend from michigan brought this down for me.A beautiful beer a great mahogany color,thick very appetizing head to it.Nice sweet malty smell with caramel and a little burnt taste in the palate the way it should be.Alcohol was very prevelant in taste as well.A man beer from a world class brewer.

Appearance This DB is a dark brown in color with a an off-white head that left some nice lacing on the glass and never did completely disappear.
Smell The raw unsulphored molasses and light unsweetened maple complimented the heavily-toasted malt base. I like my Doppelbocks a bit on the edgy side, and this is a wild one.
Taste The malts are incredibly tasty here and even have a sense of wheat. The toasted level is very high. The sweets step back a bit from where they were at the nose. The finish is a dab of chocolate covered in malts.
Mouthfeel I just love the mouthfeel of this DB. It is incredibly smooth. The beer touching your throat on the way down is like rubbing fine silk against your cheeks.
This isnt full-bodied but its a lot bigger than medium. There is some bitterness, especially in the aftertaste, but nothing that dominates or is overly harsh.
Drinkability This really is a class act. Its as well put together as their weizens. Its one of the smoothest DBs that Ive ever had.
Update - I try to have this every year and for 2007 thought to update the review.
This really is a tremendous brew, consistent year after year after year. The malts and light molasses flavors are raw but the mouthfeel incredibly smooth. Well done as usually by this magnificent brewery.

I poured it from a bottle as well into my Aventinus Weizenbock glass. It poured a dark deep reddish tint with a slight head that dissipated quickly. When I took a good sniff of this complex beer I got a nose of roasted malts and dark fruits. The taste was similar to the nose of this beer. I tasted the roasted malts, the dark fruits like figs, prunes(i couldn't really put my tongue on it) and some chocolate undertones. The mouthfeel is a medium to full body doppelbock that hides the 7.4% abv well. That makes it quite dangerous since I could keep drinking this. There is a medium level of carbonation. Overall this is one of the world's top doppelbocks. I maybe biased because doppelbocks are my favorite style of beer, but this is a fine specimen of one!

Dark, Dark, Dark!!! Color is wonderfully caramel brown with a brilliant ruby hue when held to sunlight. Crown is almond and fluffy. Aroma is butt kicking and brilliant. Toffee, chocolate, caramel, banana, plums, oh my. Taste is dominating, spicy, biting, strong, and full. This is like a weizenbock on steroids. Just an awesome and unique brew.

Time to see how Weihenstephaner handles doppelbocks. If it's anything like the rest of their beers, it'll end up being a benchmark for the style. Korbinian looks brown as it pours from the bottle, but appears pitch black sitting in my glass. The light-tan colored head slowly fades to a swampy and bubbly skin that barely covers the black-hole brew. Even holding it a few feet from a light bulb only produces a faint ruby color that shimmers through.
Really malty and sweet up front in the aroma, and even from the first sniff, I can tell that this is going to be a complex and layered brew. Cocoa powder, light caramel, sticky molasses, with hints of some darker, brown-sugar coated fruits like dates, plums, and bruised raisins. A kiss of smoke in the finale tops off a perplexing and interesting aromatic profile; definitely robust and full-bodied.
As eyebrow-raising as the aroma was, you'll be glad to know that the flavor follows it along quite nicely. And also like the aroma, the taste is strong, pungent, and robust. Sweet out of the gate, some caramel, toffee, and brown sugar with some deeper hints of burnt molasses. Some more sweetness piles on in the form of anise and black licorice - something I don't exactly love, but it works well enough in small amounts among the myriad of flavors happening right now.
Plums, dates, and sugar-coated raisins hit mid-to-end with dark, "just-shy-of-roasted" malts, hefty cocoa powder, and a bit of complex nuttiness and woodsy flavors in the finish. Matching the flavor profile, the body is a touch sticky and oily, medium in size with decent carbonation and a mouth feel that falls just short of creamy.
Korbinian is certainly an interestingly complex brew with aroma and flavor profiles that are both "all over the place" and "perfectly content" all at once. Doppelbocks aren't my forte and I certainly haven't had enough to speak eloquently on them, but Korbinian is a pretty tasty brew, and certainly a good lesson in the style. Still worth a shot whether you are in tune with doppelbocks or not - at the price, you can't really lose.

Pours a very dark reddish amber color. No lacing to speak of. Smells quite sweet, almost Coca-Cola like. Taste is very nutty, with a nice mouthfeel. I also get a hint of root beer barrels (very odd, but good). This is a great sipping beer for a cold night.
Overall, even though doppelbocks aren't my favorite style, this one is darn good. I can see myself picking up one of these every once in a while.
Well this is rather embarrassing. I went to review this beer, and found out that I already reviewed it! Just upping the taste and mouthfeel to 4.5...

The Weihenstephaner Korbinian pours from the wonderfully artistic 16.9oz bottle a deep dark cola brown with a two finger eggshell head on top. Hold it up to a light and you'll get a vivid blood red hue. An attractive brew. Aromas are rich, decadant and intense. Big melding of sweet caramel, roasted nuts, and lots of dark fruits (plum, raisin). A wisp of powdered cocoa along with dark baked bread. Sinfully deeply malty and incredibly inviting. Sit back and enjoy smelling this one for awhile as it's not to be missed.
First sip brings a rich robust dark bready maltiness. Sweet caramel and roasted nuttiness along with a swirl of dark fruits. I get some cocoa in there as well. Fairly sweet, but not at all cloying. A dark bready fruitcake in a glass (a truly good fruitcake though, not those ones you get around the holidays). Delicious and all about the wonderful malt. One of the best dopplebocks I've yet to sample.
Mouthfeel is creamy, medium bodied and chewy with a mellow carbonation. A meal in a glass for sure, I'd take this over a loaf of bread anyday :-). I find this to be a very drinkable brew and it will be what I turn to when I'm craving a dopplebock. This one is not to be missed. I believe I paid 1.99 for this bottle, which is a freakin steal for how good it is. Check this one out ASAP.

Poured a nice dark caramel brown color with amber highlights. Fairly aggressive pour led to a nice whipped two finger tan head which slowly bubbled its way down. Aroma is slightly sweet with hints of caramel and clove spiciness over a sweet bread body. Im new to dopplebocks so Im not used to their aroma profile yet so it is hard to pick out the subtleties. But this one sure does smell nice. Initially cold Im not impressed with much flavor. Im going to let this one sit for a bit to warm *15 minutes pass* after warming a bit the subtle flavors start to present themselves. There is a pretty huge malt presence just as I expected. But it is balanced well with just a touch of hops at the end. The malts dont present themselves as overly sweet in this beer as I was expecting. Mouthfeel is nice and full and creamy to some extent. This is a very nice beer that I could easily sit down with and have a couple.

As dark as any stout. Minimal head, but with good retention in my Unibroue glass.
Lovely sweet nose. The definition of a malty beer. Smells as good as, if not better than, Celebrator.
Truly delicious. Sweet, chewy, deep, dark, rich. I could see this pairing up perfectly with some moist velvety chocolate cake.
In midsip I get a tiny bit of something that seems off. A slight thinness? Maybe that's just normal for this style. Maybe its the water used.
This beer is guilty of YUM in the first degree. Seconds, please.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1pt. 0.9oz bottle into my big Spaten Oktoberfest Stange glass. There is no freshness date on the label but it has a bottle number of 3438 printed on the back.
Appearance: The body has a dark brown color with lighter brownish red highlights. On top sits a nice light tan head which was about two fingers thick right after it was poured. This head slowly fades but hangs on till the last sip, (not that it took me long it get there lol). There was some nice slick lacing, as well, which slid right down the glass as I drank.
Smell: The aroma is pleasing and sweet with notes of dark sweet bread, cooked or burnt sugar, as well as some mellow notes of over ripe fruit and classic German hops.
Taste/Palate: It has a firm, slick, full bodied palate with a flavor profile that matches its aroma. The flavor is full dark sweet bready malty goodness. There are some hints of nuts and fruit mixed into the mostly sweet malt along with some decent leafy/spicy, almost earthy hops for balance. The hops also add a nice balance to the finish making it quite drinkable.
Notes: This is a very enjoyable and drinkable big beer. Just look out for the solid 7.4% abv. that will sneak up on you.

The case broke and I did not even know it until I started switch it from another case. I just lucky that the cell phone did not come out and crack.
I received my case today, fast shipping and the product was just as it was online and in prefect condition.. I am very happy with it. I can carry my phone and my id, cc cards in the wallet side and stick it all in my purse! very happy camper and will order more designs to keep ,y phone looking stylish!
Just hope with ware the snap doesn't fall in front of the screen
Though my hubby thought this is what he wanted, before it came in the mail he had to travel and accidentally dropped his phone while at an airport. Luckily someone found it and turned it in. Because of this he decided he needed to get a holder with a belt clip like he's had in the past with other phones. He did like the looks of it and how the rest worked so if someone didn't want a belt clip this would be a nice cover for the Note ll.
nice case. Doesn't stand up as shown in photo. other than that all features are good and it does a good job protecting my phone. also, it bulks up the phone a little but still fits in my coat pocket and the leather prevents it from easily slipping out by accident.

To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Appearance This porter came out very, very dark in color with a beautiful white head.
Smell The malts here are dark and roasty. There are some light coffee ground notes here along with some rather aggressive, leafy hops.
Taste The hops really come out at the taste. They are big for a porter, even an American-style one. The coffee flavor is mild but well represented. Theres a milky sweetness to this flavor profile as well that makes it a complex, very interesting beer.
Mouthfeel This AP is medium-bodied with some good, gritty bitterness that works well with the creamy milky sweetness.
Drinkability This is a very balanced, good-drinking porter that went down way too well.
Comments Big thanks to my BA bro BuckeyeNation for hooking me up with this classic Three Floyds offering.

I dont quite grasp the hype surrounding this beer. Its quite good but I dont see why its worth paying so much for it when equally or better brews like the Fitz, Tommy, and Great Danes Cascade or Black Earth are available for half the price.
Pours a bronzed cocoa with moderately lasting sticky white-brown head.
Smells of citrus hops and cocoa, dark roasted malts and grape fruit. Also bits of anise.
Tastes cakey but also of iced down chocolate milk. A bit thinner than I would like, fluffier too. I want cream and am only getting iced milk. Sweet front, dry finish.
Very drinkable.
Ill pick of a bottle of this and try it again soon. Maybe their was something wrong with the keg I had or my taste buds that night but like I said, I dont get the hype.

Thanks to JDV and pintsized for sharing.
A-Almost looks like a cola to me. Black with carbonation bubbles running up the side. Head didn't stick around.
S-Chocolate, molasses, slightly floral hoppiness, and a little bit minty
T-Nice roasted malt, chocolate, some licorice, floral hop increases as it warms. Very tasty.
M-Crisp in the mouth, medium to full body, maybe a little over carbonated
D-I would have hogged the whole bomber if they had let me. This review should also be considered an ISO for Alpha Klaus Porter.

On tap at Palmers in LaGrange IL
Served in a shaker pint glass
Appearance was a deep dark brown with a 1 finger head that lingered throughout much of the pint.
The smell is just this sharp grassy piny hop with a low amount of dark malt sweetness. To me it was similar to sticking my nose in a bag of hop pellets where the nuances of the variety are shadowed by the sheer plant smell.
The taste was once again dominated by the grassy hop taste. Behind the initial grassy taste there is a typical porter malt profile to stand up against. The nice thing is the bitterness is pretty low and this is all about the aroma and flavor hops. Quite enjoyable to say the least.
If it had anymore bitterness I think it would cut down on the drinkability considering it is already a pretty full bodied beer.

22 oz bottle poured into a snifter.
A: dark black with a dirty white/light brown head. After agitating the beer I got about 1/4 inch head.
S: Roasted coffee and sweet molasses/burnt sugar.
T: You get roasted coffee upfront with some malt sweetness, then you get a nice hop bitterness on he back of your tongue.
Overall an interesting take on a porter. The hops make this a beer stand out from others porters and a must try.

Picked this up at Binny's in the South Loop, Chicago. Ironically, a few hours before I drank this, my sister in-law asked me if brewers ever combine aggressive hops like in an IPA with a roasted malty porter. I told her that I hadn't experienced anything quite like that. Well, now I can say I have!
A: Nice reddish dark brown - almost black. Tiny mahogany highlights on the bottom edge against the light. Dark tan finger head that quickly dropped to a quarter and then dissipated to surface wisps. Produced big spotty lacing that didn't stick around too long. Quite attractive.
S: Big hops - more hops than you would ever imagine from a porter. When you smell more deeply, you get the roasted malt chocolate/coffee smell hiding under the floral hop. Combo of big hop, big malt and slight alcohol is almost medicinal - in a good way. Some cinnamon spiciness there too. Very unique and an appropriate seasonal warmth.
T: As I concentrated on the drinking, the smell focused in on the dark bitter chocolate which added a lot. Very lively hoppy fresh experience. It dissipates to a more chocolate malt and the hop bitterness comes back in the aftertaste. Strange combination of the smooth porter with an aggressive hop bite. Worked for me.
M: Really light and crisp. Carbonation tingles on the tongue and the back of the mouth. Medium/low body. I would usually feel like this was thin but considering the uniqueness and level of hopping, it felt appropriate.
D: Very light and drinkable. If I was trying to evaluate this brew as a regular porter, it may disappoint me in some ways. If I think of it as a hybrid of porter and seasonal Xmas ale, it becomes a very unique and enjoyable experience. It felt right for the season which I think is a very important factor. It offered the comfort of a porter with the optimism of hops - a really nice change. As a malt head that has developed a hop addiction, I find this beer to be extremely enjoyable. The higher than usual ABV didn't hurt either. Happy holidays!

Purchased from 3 Cellars in Franklin, WI. Pours a black body with a nice tan head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is of roasted malts and coffee beans. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation and feels soft and creamy. Flavors of chocolate, coffee and a touch of vanilla lead to a mellow finish. Excellent drinkability from this porter.

2007 fresh bomber. Pours into my glass a deep black with dark brown hues on the edges. An inch of creamy tan head sits on top and lingers. Aromas begin with a big bold sweet cocoa and lots of rich brewed coffee as well. Creamy with a piney hop aroma in there as well. Light caramel with lots of roastiness overall. A touch of vanilla. Very enticing aroma, seems to have less hop presence than previous years.
First sip brings a roasted dark malt that's flowing with rich chocolate and coffee flavors right off the bat. Hints of caramel and a touch of vanilla. It moves into slightly floral, piney hops that bring along a nice touch of bitterness. Finishes with a wonderful chocolate aftertaste. Yum.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, chewy, smooth and creamy. Spot on for a porter, it never gets too heavy. Quite a drinkable brew and one I always look forward to imbibing in large quantities around this time of year. Glad to see it on the shelves again. I give this one my approval yet again...go get a few bombers!!

Received in a trade from BeerBeing...been wanting to try this one for a while...
Darkest porter I've ever seen. Only a hint of light comes through in the crevices of my pint glass. Pours with a tan half inch head that reduces to a thick layer.
Quite a blend of aromas. Toasted malts with a little sweet caramel. Some dark ripe fruits come through. A little alcohol rounds it out. A bit of pine hops to boot. I don't seem to notice as much as other reviewers.
Damn, this is a tasty brew. So many flavors are swirled together resulting in an amazing taste. Not a whole lot of toasted flavors, a little, but not as dominate as the others. Smoke develops as it warms. It does have a bit of a toffee to it. A good bit of sweetness overall in the beginning while cold but subsides as it warms; caramel and dark ripe fruits once again. Finishes with a good bit of bitterness. Alcohol isn't as noticable in the taste. All of this works extremely well together. This is not the usual understated porter.
Mouthfeel is medium. Fairly creamy. Coats the mouth just long enough to let the flavors meld but each express themselves. This is an extremely drinkable beer. An awesome flavor and a nice mouthfeel.

The liquid looks pretty normal: black, little bit of head...that's basically it. Swirling the glass does produce impressive lacing (particularly for a porter), but I was going +0.5 on the cool Three Floyds bottle (and cap) anyways.
This beer's nose is indeed exceptional, unlike any other Christmas concoction I've tried. The chocolate is background at best (more apparent, I suppose, in the black appearance), the hops are there via lacing (again, appearance), but the smell is sweetly unique. Based on the label's description, I guess it's the Mexican sugar. It probably wouldn't smell like this all by itself, but kudos to FFF for such a treat. While novel in its aroma, it still seems seasonal--I'm sensing brown sugar...and (maybe) some ginger; regardless, it's alluring like sweet Christmas cookies!
This brew oozes character. The English chocolate malts are indeed like a medium on which the sugar and American hops dance a jig. It actually tastes like equal parts of each ingredient. Though unlike a dessert beer--all congnacy and strong--it's like dessert IN a beer: hopped-up sugar and chocolate. There's a bitterness in the aftertaste that dulls this effect but, undoubtedly, it's among the neatest beers I've come across.
Aside from that bittering, it's like a cookie fresh out the oven. It must be the hops that make the sugar tingle; meanwhile, the chocolate coats cheeks. I expect something like this is trial-and-error (I mean, really, how do folks come up with stuff like this?), but this feels like a well-designed beer.
As with most unique tastes, you don't want to overdo it. It's novel enough to share with Christmas party strangers, and good enough for me to pursue each and every year. Alongside Gumballhead, this beer puts fits Three Floyds on the frontier of craft brewing.

No dating, but from the 2004 batch. Poured a deep, dark, rich, black brown. Deep khaki head that settled down as a thick and creamy head, but left only a dusting with islands drifting across, and a very thick ring of large bubbles. Scents of chocolate, coffee, and darknes. Smooth, luscious creaminess and decently carbinated. Great, dark maltiness and yummy hoppiness. Wonderfully drinkable!

Ovarian Cancer Screening
Close surveillance or screening for cancer uses tests on a routine basis to identify cancer early on, at its most treatable stage. Surveillance doesn't prevent cancer; however, catching cancer early improves a person's odds of survival.
Ovarian cancer is particularly difficult to detect. Hidden deep in the abdominal cavity, ovaries are difficult to view or feel; abnormalities are not always found early. Even with the most rigorous surveillance, ovarian cancer is often detected only in its advanced stage. Even when detected early, the disease often requires aggressive treatment such as chemotherapy.
Surveillance recommendations for screening high-risk women for ovarian cancer differ from recommendations for the general population. In women with BRCA mutations or other hereditary risk factors, ovarian cancer tends to occur at a younger age and the lifetime risk is higher than in the general population. Therefore, screening tests that might not be appropriate for women of average risk for cancer may be recommended for those in the high-risk category. As further research is completed on surveillance for ovarian cancer in high-risk women, screening recommendations will probably change. For these reasons, it is important to consult with health care experts who are familiar with the standards of care and risk management in high-risk women.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is a consortium of cancer centers with experts in management of hereditary cancer. Each year, the NCCN updates their risk management guidelines for people with hereditary risk for cancer, based on the latest research. Current NCCN guidelines, which dictate the standard of care for cancer surveillance in high-risk patients, include:
- Concurrent transvaginal ultrasound with color doppler
- pelvic exam
every 6 months starting at age 30-35 or 5-10 yrs earlier than the earliest age of first diagnosis in the family, and preferably day 1-10 of the menstrual cycle for premenopausal women.
Screening terminology
Scientists use the following criteria when considering the utility of a screening test:
- Sensitivity (true positives):
the probability of a positive test among those who have the disease.
If two women in a group of 100 have cancer, for example, a highly sensitive test would find positive results in both women.
- Specificity (true negatives):
the probability of a negative test among those who do not have the disease .
If only two women in the group of 100 have cancer, but 10 falsely test positive, the test is not very specific.
The ideal test is both sensitive and specific. If someone tests positive, they likely have the disease. If they test negative they likely don't. It is difficult to develop a test that is highly sensitive and highly specific. Usually one quality is compromised at the expense of another.
CA125 is a protein in the blood that is sometimes elevated in women with ovarian cancer. The CA125 blood test is used to follow up women who have already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, in order to monitor response to treatment and to look for recurrence of the cancer. Some researchers have looked at CA125 to detect ovarian cancer in women with ovarian abnormalities or in women who are at high risk for ovarian cancer. The test is considered neither sensitive nor specific for finding ovarian cancers in high-risk women. However, some studies found the test, particularly in combination with transvaginal ultrasound, might detect some ovarian cancers before symptoms appear. In a recent small study which looked at surveillance in high-risk women, CA125 and transvaginal ultrasound identified six cases of advanced ovarian cancer. The authors concluded that ovarian cancer surveillance was ineffective in this population. Research from a large study on ovarian screening known as GOG 199 found that premenopausal women have higher normal CA125 than postmenopausal women. Based on this, the reference ranges for normal CA125 in premenopausal women may change, making the test less likely to produce false positives.
Another study which reviewed published research on ovarian cancer detected through screening concluded that high grade serous ovarian cancer (the type of cancer that usually develops in mutation carriers) is more likely to be diagnosed at advanced rather than early stage, even if found during screening. Current NCCN guidelines recommend CA125 be performed every 6 months. Ongoing studies are looking at whether measuring CA125 every 3 months in high-risk women improves the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
Transvaginal ultrasound
Ultrasound uses special sound wave equipment to examine internal structures such as the ovaries. Transvaginal ultrasound uses a small probe inserted into the vagina to look for abnormalities of the ovaries, tubes and uterus.
One large study reviewed transvaginal ultrasound as a screening for ovarian cancer in women over age 50 or high-risk women over age 30. In this study 90 women underwent exploratory laparotomy (exploratory surgery of the abdominal organs) based on findings on the ultrasound. Of those 90 women, six had ovarian cancer: five were found at stage 1, the most treatable stage. In this study, none of the women with ovarian cancer had an elevated CA 125 test, a blood test sometimes elevated with ovarian cancer. A larger and more recent study examined ultrasound screening for early detection of ovarian cancer in high-risk women. In this study most ovarian cancers found were diagnosed at stage III, a more advanced stage. Further, all these women had normal scans in the previous year. The authors of the second study concluded that ultrasound was of limited value for finding ovarian cancer at an early stage. A study which reviewed published research on ovarian cancer detected through screening concluded that high grade serous ovarian cancer (the type of cancer that usually develops in mutation carriers) is more likely to be diagnosed at advanced rather than early stage, even if found during screening. Although transvaginal ultrasound doesn't have a high sensitivity or specificity, it is still recommended by many experts for screening those women who are not prepared to undergo prophylactic oophorectomy (removal of healthy ovaries to reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer).
Pelvic exam
A pelvic exam is an internal vaginal exam by a health care provider to look and feel for abnormalities of the reproductive system. The pelvic exam should include a rectovaginal exam—the health care provider feels the ovaries by inserting a gloved and lubricated finger in the rectum and another finger of the same hand into the vagina at the same time, while pressing on the abdomen. As uncomfortable as it may sound, the rectovaginal exam should not be painful; it provides the best possible way for a health care provider to actually feel the position, size and shape of the ovaries. Although a pelvic exam might pick up an abnormality that could indicate cancer, it is not considered a sensitive or a specific test for ovarian cancer. Nevertheless, the pelvic exam should be part of a thorough exam for all adult women, and is recommended by NCCN and other experts for surveillance in high-risk women.
Biomarkers and proteomics
Biomarkers are substances such as proteins or other molecules which might indicate the presence or progression of a disease such as ovarian cancer. CA125 is an example of a biomarker for ovarian cancer. Scientists are looking for other biomarkers that might lead to more sensitive and specific tests for ovarian cancer. Several possible substances have been identified. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a substance identified in a recent study as a possible biomarker for ovarian cancer.
The science of proteomics identifies the thousands of proteins produced by the body, and how they function in health and illnesses such as cancer. Advances in proteomics are improving our capability of identifying smaller proteins and identifying a large number of proteins at one time in a mass analysis. Some researchers are searching for "protein patterns" that might indicate specific cancers more accurately. One small study looking at a proteomic test showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting ovarian cancer. A more recent study found blood tests which tested for three proteins in addition to CA125 improved the sensitivity of the CA125 for screening for ovarian cancer. Research is continues to determine whether proteomic testing can lead to an accurate test to detect early-stage ovarian cancer.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – The BCS apologists are one game away from being able to say the system "worked" again.
A loss by Alabama, Florida State or Ohio State would bail out their flawed argument and "championship" "system" once again. Of course, if neither team loses, or more than one of those teams lose, their argument is pretty much dead on arrival.
I don't know about you, but I'm hoping for one of those just to see what type of idiotic logic they'll use to defend it this time.1
Here is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 13.
1. James Franklin (player) has still got it. Franklin's return to action was everything Missouri fans were hoping for – the team won. Outside of that, Franklin didn't provide much else.
Franklin threw for 142 yards and an interception and rushed for 42 yards, but the guy had been sidelined for six weeks with a shoulder injury so he needed to knock off some rust. Rust knocked. Now it's time to get ready for Texas A&M.
Missouri's 24-10 win over Ole Miss was equal parts inspiring and disappointing. The Tigers rushed for 260 yards and set up a must-see game with the Aggies that they have to win in order to make the SEC championship game. A loss would send South Carolina in their place.
The Tigers have offensive firepower to match A&M score-for-score and have the second-best rushing offense in the SEC. A&M's rushing defense is the conference's worst. The Aggies have the SEC's best passing offense. Missouri has the conference's worst passing defense. So, plan for a lot of points.2
2. Johnny Manziel won't win the Heisman. Three losses to all three ranked teams you've played is not a good thing to show up on a Heisman resume. That can change with a win over Missouri next weekend, but Johnny Lack-of-Offense can't show up like he did in Saturday's 34-10 loss to LSU.
Manziel had a decent stat day for any other player, throwing for 224 yards and rushing for 54, but he also threw two interceptions to one touchdown and never got the Aggies' offense moving. It was the first time in his career he hasn't completed at least half of his passes.
Heisman trophy candidates are dropping like flies. Oregon's Marcus Mariota suffered a big hit with Oregon's loss to Stanford and with the loss to Arizona on Saturday, he's likely done for. Baylor's Bryce Petty threw for 359 yards and two touchdowns against Oklahoma State, but Baylor lost 49-17 in a way a top five team never should, the last touchdown of which happened when Petty lost control of the snap and booted it away while trying to make a recovery.
Florida State's Jameis Winston faces a possible arrest, and it's easy to see how voters could be tentative in choosing him based on off-field problems. Does that open the door for Alabama's AJ McCarron?
3. Florida gave up. Georgia Southern attempted three passes and completed none of them. Zero passing yards. Turned the ball over twice. Converted three of 10 first downs. Gained 429 rushing yards – 7.9 yards per carry. Won 26-20.
Run the ball. It works.
Florida needed the win over Georgia Southern to keep its flagging bowl hopes alive. It didn't happen. I don't know if I should laugh or cry or make of list of people I think will replace Will Muschamp if he gets fired. (It has only one name – see No. 6 below.)
Florida's defense was its strength. If anything, the Florida offense would let it down in a close game. But this was all about defensive ineptitude. A run-only team, as good as it may be, should not be able to get that many yards against Florida's defense, which fell from 15th nationally against the run to 32nd.
The Gators' season was a disaster even before Saturday's game with only a spoiler role against No. 2 Florida State to earn bowl eligibility left to play for. Florida couldn't even deliver the win over the cupcake it needed to keep that alive. Now it's just a potential spoiler, and you're a fool if you think they'll pull off an upset over the Seminoles.
This is Florida's first losing season since 1979, and the nation's second-longest active bowl streak is over. The Gators have given up. They have quit trying. When that happens, coaches don't survive.
4. Ole Miss needs the Egg Bowl for respect. Ole Miss has beaten all the teams it was supposed to beat and pulled off an upset over LSU, but the difference in a 7-5 season and an 8-4 season will be massive, and it all hinges on a Thanksgiving night meeting with Mississippi State.
Ole Miss got close to an upset over Texas A&M, lost by one score to Auburn and held Missouri to its fewest points of the season, but those were all losses. The Rebels also edged Vanderbilt by four and topped Arkansas by 10.
A win over Mississippi State would set up the Rebels as a team opponents will be concerned about in the future. But a loss relegates them to being the same old team that makes a lot of noise without having a lot of substance.
5. Mississippi State needs the Egg Bowl for bowl eligibility. No matter what happens, this season has been a letdown for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State played a difficult schedule and lost to every ranked team it faced.
Its most recent three wins were by one point over Bowling Green, six points over Kentucky and 24-17 over Arkansas in overtime Saturday. Ole Miss is ranked and the Bulldogs need a win Thursday to qualify for a bowl.
It's past time to break out my innovative double-barreled shotgun offense. I will not let this die.3
6. James Franklin (coach) is a magician. It's no secret I love James Franklin, and I will be emotionally scarred if he leaves the SEC. Vanderbilt is set for another nine-win season after beating Tennessee 14-10 in somewhat controversial fashion. The Commodores just need to beat Wake Forest and whatever other miserable non-SEC wretch they draw in a bowl game.
Tennessee had gotten a fourth down stop and was on its way to a crucial win. Then came the whistles and the video review. It was then ruled that Austyn Carta-Samuels was born one inch too tall for the Volunteers' liking. First down Vanderbilt, and three plays, later touchdown Vanderbilt on a fake jump pass run into the end zone.
Vanderbilt has been playing football for more than 100 years and nearly every week Franklin accomplishes something that is a first for the program. I don't know how long he's going to stay there, but it can't be long.
I'm concerned this will be his last year at Vanderbilt and no SEC team will have an opening to keep him in-house. If any SEC team fires its coach this season it would be Georgia or Florida, and both are unlikely. The only other scenario would be Steve Spurrier retiring (he's not dead so that's a long shot), Nick Saban taking whatever job Nick Saban is rumored to be taking (Alabama would go for a "big name" over Franklin, anyway) or Kevin Sumlin leaving for Southern Cal.
7. Arkansas' #karma just will not go away. It's just adding injury to insult at this point. It's been eight straight losses for the Hogs, who haven't won a game since Sept. 14.
Do you remember what life was like back then? Jameis Winston was just starting to make a name for himself and we didn't know he was accused of sexual assault, Auburn wasn't a national championship contender and Florida still had the chance to make a bowl game.
It was a simpler time. Arkansas' three wins came over Louisiana-Lafayette, Samford and Southern Mississippi. Since then it's been eight straight losses and only two of them were close. It's unfathomable that Arkansas had never lost to Mississippi State in Arkansas, but now that's no longer true.
Arkansas not only lost in overtime, but almost pulled off the rare two-score loss in overtime. Mississippi State intercepted a pass and made a good attempt at running it back for a touchdown, but it wasn't needed because the Bulldogs had already scored in the extra period.
Is it possible Bobby Petrino is actually a great coach? He had the Hogs ranked No. 3 in the country. Since his fall from grace, Arkansas has won just two SEC games – last year against Auburn and Kentucky, neither of which won a conference game.
8. Aaron Murray's career ended in the worst way possible. Forget Arkansas' karma, what about Georgia? The Bulldogs have been dealing with injuries at nearly every position and didn't do anything to deserve it.
Murray was the latest victim, suffering an ACL tear in a 59-17 win over Kentucky. The last on-field moment of the best passer in SEC history ended with him being carried off the field for an MRI that revealed Georgia's worst fears.
The only consolation is that Georgia's season was lost long before Murray's knee injury and despite his stellar career the injury will likely downgrade his NFL draft position, meaning he could end up going to a team that isn't an unmitigated disaster like Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay are (hello, Minnesota? Houston? Tennessee?).
9. Tennessee is bowl-less again. The Vols haven't made a bowl since 2010 and haven't won a bowl game since the 2007 season. That's six years and three coaches ago. Oof.
Tennessee needed to beat both Vanderbilt and Kentucky to make the postseason and it fell one inch short of accomplishing the first – and most difficult – of those. It's the second straight year Tennessee needed wins in both those games to become bowl eligible and the second straight year Vanderbilt spoiled the party.
As unlikely as it may seem, Vanderbilt is the football power in the state right now. I never thought I'd live to see that happen, and there are a lot of Vols fans who feel the same way.
10. It's Iron Bowl time. Last week, I went into the history book of Alabama and Auburn's epic rivalry. Now it's time to talk about this year's page in that weighty tome.
What's on the line is a potential fifth consecutive national championship for the game's winner. You have to go back to the Catholics vs. Convicts games between Notre Dame and Miami in 1988-89 to find a game that even comes close to that mark, and the Iron Bowl has already doubled it. The only series that has matched the Iron Bowl's mark is Notre Dame-Army from 1943-47 and the Ivy League's dominance of the late 1800s.
The teams couldn't be more different and each represents a matchup problem for the other. Alabama is the defensive juggernaut with an offense that at times has been just good enough to get the job done. Auburn has a yardage-eating running game and a defense just good enough to not give the game away.
The numbers are staggering and will match the teams' strengths directly against each other. Hitting two iron bars together, produces noise, sparks and chips on both pieces. The game won't be any different. To paraphrase Proverbs 27:17, as iron sharpens iron, so one team sharpens another.
The tale of the tape is ominous: Auburn is second nationally rushing for 320 yards/game. Alabama is fifth nationally allowing 91 rushing yards/game. Auburn has the nation's No. 11 offense. Alabama has the nation's No. 3 defense. Both teams score 39 points per game, but Auburn allows 22 and Alabama allows nine. The disparity of the numbers favors Alabama with Auburn's No. 104 passing offense and the Tide's No. 7 passing defense.
No amount of wait time is short enough for this one.4
Extra points: 1I'm still waiting for them to explain 2003's split national championship, 2004's three undefeated major conference teams (five overall) with the SEC champion being left out, 2009's five undefeated teams and 2011's Alabama-LSU rematch, so I'm not holding my breath.
2This rivalry needs a name. Some initial thoughts are The Bad Geography Bowl, The Col-Col Kerfuffle (Col-umbia and Col-lege Station? OK, that's terrible), The Farmland Flap, The Dust Bowl Dust-Up, The Tussle of Tornado Alley, The Bar-B-Q Brouhaha, The Mixed Nut Mashup (Texas' state nut is the pecan and Missouri's is the black walnut) and The Traitor Bowl – or The Battle for Benedict Arnold's Boot.
3Sample plays include the flea-flicker screen, flea-flicker reverse (handoff to RB who turns and tosses to receiver on a sweep), the reverse flea-flicker, quadruple option pass, triple pass, the screen-and-ladder, the Tim Tebow fake punt jump pass and the fake jump pass Vanderbilt used against Tennessee this week.
4Be sure to catch this week's installment of Rantankerous. There's a good chance the Iron Bowl gets brought up.

Hudson Valley Hospital Center Celebrates Moms-to-be with a special day
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (April 27, 2011) – Hudson Valley Hospital Center is celebrating Moms-to-Be with a day full of activities designed to help prospective mothers make the right decisions when choosing their birthing experience.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center's "Art of Having a Baby" Maternity Fair on Sunday, May 15 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. will feature educational workshops including one for new dads, tours of the hospital's Women's Pavilion for Birthing, as well as, vendors, and a demonstration of the latest labor-saving gadgets to help parents care for the new arrivals. Also on exhibit at the fair will be the photos of babies throughout the generations who were born at Hudson Valley Hospital Center, which first opened its doors in 1889.
Fathers also need some guidance, and so the fair will hold a special 2-hour workshop for them as well focusing on everything a new father needs to know, diapering, feeding and other care questions as well as a discussion of the change in a relationship and lifestyle once the baby arrives.
"Having a baby is a complicated process with so many decisions to be made," said Sabrina Nitkowski-Keever, Director of Maternal and Child Health at Hudson Valley Hospital Center. "How do I choose a birthing plan? Should I breastfeed? How can I take the best care of my health during pregnancy?: are some of the questions that mothers-to-be frequently ask."
Parents can get many of these questions answered by attending workshops at the fair, which include:
Hudson Valley Hospital Center's Women's Pavilion for Birthing is dedicated to giving expectant mothers the birth experience they choose. The Hospital offers deliveries by obstetricians and midwifes and assistance by doulas. Hudson Valley Hospital Center is the only Hospital and Birthing Center in Westchester and Putnam counties to be recognized for breastfeeding support by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. The Hospital also offers prenatal education classes, private consultations, telephone triage and a new class on what to expect for grandmothers.
To sign up for workshops or to get a full program of the day's events, visit hvhc.npgdev.com or call 914-734-3557.

Post subject: Suspicious email
Hi all.
Right. I received a suspect email from a good friend yesterday.
(I spoke with them, and they never sent the email in question. They also checked their
sent items, so they definitely didn't send it).
They were curious about this, so I forwarded them the email.
I booted into a live CD (and using Firefox, Adblock plus and No script) I opened the
email and forwarded it on to them.
I (obviously) didn't click on on the link in the mail itself.
I suspect that their email address has been spoofed.
I've checked the recent activity details on my email account, and there doesn't seem to be
anything amiss.
Do you think it's necessary for my to change my email account password ?
(My current password it 19 alphanumeric string).
Am I being a little paranoid ?
Useful info -
We both use webmail
My email = Gmail
Friends email = Yahoo mail
TIA for any help or advice.

Post subject: paranoid: yes
You say you didn't follow the link-- no problem. Probably wouldn't have mattered if you did, since you use Linux, and a virus isn't likely to harm you.
Email spoofs, and hijackings happen all the time. If your friend uses yahoo mail, or one of the major web-based email outfits, it is likely someone has hacked his password. Otherwise it may just be a spoof. If you look at the detailed headers of the email, you may be able to tell if it actually originated from his account.
Either way, if it were me, I wouldn't worry about it.

It's very easy to spoof the "from" header in an SMTP conversation, so your friend may not have to reset his password... (but as you don't know, it's safer to do anyway!)

As said above it's very easy to spoof an Email "From:" address, so if you receive a mail from some random name you've never heard of then it's likely to be a spoofed From address, however the chances of some spammer spoofing your friends address and randomly sending it to someone who knows him is slim, this suggests that whoever/whatever sent that mail has access to your friends mail contacts. Alternatively (and this has happened to me) there could be a third party who is also a contact of both you and your friend, that third party has their Email hacked and the hacker uses one of the names on the contact list as the spoof From: address and sends Emails to all the other names in the address book purporting to be from your friend.
Bottom line is it's likely someone has either been hacked or has got a virus, but it may not be your friend - he ought to change his passwords anyway.
I have been touched by his noodly appendage.

I've had quite a few emails from yahoo email accounts recently, it seems that they have had a problem or someone has got a hold of a bunch of passwords and email addresses.
Get your friend to change his yahoo password
Also out of interest was/is your friend on linkedin, was his yahoo email linked to his linkedin, and did they have the same password?
For certain you have to be lost to find the places that can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was

The From: header is irrelevant as it is added by the sender, so they can put what they want. Of more interest are the server added headers, such as Received. They show the path the mail took to reach you. If it was sent from your friend's account, it will have started with a yahoo server, anything else and it is a spoofed mail sent from a spambot.
Using his address for From: is just a way of getting it through your spam filters, and encouraging you to read it.

I received a photo msg from a good friend asking if I had sent him a suspicious email yesterday.
He also included a screenshot of the offending email.
I assured him that I hadn't sent him anything.
In the screenshot It had my name (as the sender)
but being sent from a completely different email address than mine.
Once again I check my email account's sent items (my account has not sent anything)
and the list of IP addresses that have accessed my email account.
(And again, there's nothing untoward going on)
So it looks like that my email address has now been spoofed.
Im almost certain that my account has not been hacked.
However, do you think it would be wise to change my email account password ?
Thanks again for the help.

As already stated, the From: header proves nothing, it i just a line of text inserted into the email. The Received: headers will show where it was actually sent from, if these include your ISP's mail server, you may have cause for concern.
As for changing your password, don't even think about it, just do it. If you even suspect that any password has been compromised you should change it. This applies tenfold to your email password, as gaining that enables someone to get hold of all your other passwords.

If they had compromised your account then they wouldn't need to spoof the From: address. I would think it more likely that a mutual contact of you and your friend has had their account hacked, the hacker/virus has chosen you as the spoof From: address and is sending mails to the compromised account's address book. Most of the recipients will see a mail purporting to be from Geordi Jedi and will ignore it 'cos the name means nothing to them, but it rings alarm bells with your friend because he recognises the name and thinks it's come from you.
Still a good idea to change your passwords though.

I posted last fall about my Farmalll BN.
Today I recieved an email notification that my post received a reply. When I tried to open the link in the email it brought to the forum but I got a message saying that the post does not exist.
I am curious to what the reply said.
Any ideas what is going on.

World notes: Brazil picking up baseball
Though in soccer's shadow, sport producing prospects
PITTSBURGH -- The World continues to grow from a baseball standpoint.The World Team for Sunday's All-Star Futures Game included outfielder Anderson Gomes, a Brazilian Class A outfielder from the Chicago White Sox organization. He is the first Brazilian to play in the Futures Game. "We don't have much baseball in Brazil," Gomes said. "Everybody plays soccer in Brazil. I played soccer, but I ran fast, so a guy asked me to play baseball. I was, like, 8 years old." Gomes eventually signed with a Japanese team at the age of 15 as a pitcher, but he blew out his arm and needed Tommy John elbow surgery, so he was switched to the outfield because of his speed. The White Sox signed him this spring, and he's hitting .255 in 63 games and 231 at-bats, with six home runs, 25 RBIs and five stolen bases. Venezuela is still the dominant baseball country in South America. Colombia had some success with shortstops Edgar Renteria and Orlando Cabrera, but its baseball program has slipped. Brazil's program is just in the embryonic stage, especially when compared to its world-renowned soccer reputation. But the Phillies signed three players there last year and the White Sox have another Brazilian outfielder, Paulo Orlando, who is the fastest player in their Minor League system. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen used him in a couple of Major League exhibition games this spring. "We don't have a lot," Gomes said. "We're starting to get better, but in Brazil, soccer is still too big." Greek-Canadian in America: World catcher George Kotteras is from Canada, went to college in Oklahoma and played for Greece in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. But he had the Maple Leaf on his jersey for Sunday's Futures Game. "Greece is my heritage, but Canada is my country," Kotteras said. "Obviously, representing Canada is a little bit special. "It's a little different from the Olympics. In Athens, the Opening Ceremonies were unbelievable, a tremendous experience. But this is a huge deal as well. It's going to be exciting." Meanwhile, across the sea: The Major League Baseball Australian Academy is under way at the Palm Meadows Radisson Resort on Queensland's Gold Coast. There are 65 players from Australia and Oceania undergoing eight weeks of training. Hall of Famer Rod Carew is on the coaching staff, along with former Australian Major Leaguers David Nilsson, Graeme Lloyd and Luke Prokopec. Also, the First European Baseball Series is taking place between Italy and the Netherlands. The series, which began on Friday and runs through Wednesday, consists of two three-game sets, one in each country. Briefly: One scout picked outfielder Carlos Gonzalez from the Diamondbacks organization as the World player most likely to be in the Major League All-Star Game within five years. ... Cubs pitcher Jae Kuk Ryu was scratched from the World team because of an ankle injury. ... There are 11 countries represented on the World team. The Dominican Republic and Venezuela have six players each, followed by Mexico (three) and Canada and Taiwan with two. Australia, Brazil, Cuba, Curacao, Panama and South Korea have one each.
Watching Joaquin: Texas Rangers infield prospect Joaquin Arias says that he'll be paying close attention when shortstop Michael Young enters the All-Star Game on Tuesday.
That should not come as a surprise. Arias has been admiring Young since March.
"In Spring Training, Young helped me a lot," Arias said. "He was always giving me advice and showing me what to do. He's a really nice guy, a great player."
Arias, who was acquired from the Yankees as part of the deal that sent Alex Rodriguez to New York, is hitting .270 in 65 Minor League games this season, primarily at Triple-A Oklahoma. The speedy shortstop has five doubles, seven triples and 18 stolen bases.He is pleased with his progress so far, but he knows that it might not be enough to crack the big-league lineup. In addition to Young at shortstop, the Rangers have used rookie Ian Kinsler and veteran Mark DeRosa at second base.
"It's a situation that's really difficult," Arias said. "There are good players on the big-league team, but I'm not going to get discouraged. I'm the type of person who believes that if I don't make it with Texas, I'll make it with another organization. I know the potential I have."
Arias recently injured his left ankle, and he doesn't expect to play until Friday. He will rejoin his Oklahoma teammates on Monday morning.
"I'm fine," he said. "It's sore right now, but I will be better in a few days."
Young Yunel: The Braves made infield prospect Yunel Escobar stop whistling during games, but his play on the field cannot be silenced.
Escobar, who defected from Cuba and was drafted by Atlanta in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, is hitting .285 with two home runs and 29 RBIs for Double-A Mississippi.
"I am happy with where I am right now," Escobar said. "I can get better."
He has already come a long way.
Just over a year ago, the shortstop escaped Cuba in a boat and established residency in Miami. He says that he's still adapting to living in the United States and playing the American style of baseball -- which means no whistling at players during games. It was annoying other players.
"Baseball Latino is very aggressive, very animated," Escobar said. "It's different here. The emotion is different, but I am getting used to it."

CNHI News Service
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — The wind industry's turbines are stalling over doubts about the future of a 20-year-old tax credit, and the uncertainty is already costing jobs and cancelling projects.
A Gamesa turbine plant near here, in Cambria Township, has laid off more than 160 workers so far this year because of slacking demand for windmill parts. Iberdrola Renewables recently canceled a 24-turbine wind farm planned for mountains south of here, near the Maryland-Pennsylvania border.
Wind developers aren't planning new projects, said David Rosenberg, Gamesa's vice president of marketing and communications, which means the supply chain is slowing and thousands of people are out of work. The wind industry employs about 75,000 people in the United States, and most of its projects are on 12- to 18-month schedules
Clouding their future is uncertainty surrounding the federal tax credit, which expires at the end of the year. Wind energy producers get a 2.2-cent credit for every kilowatt hour they put into the power grid. The credit enables some to cut as much as one-third of their operating costs, which supporters say inspires more wind development.
"It's very important to get the tax credit. It's very important for the industry," said Dan Lagiovane, a communications manager for EverPower, a Pittsburgh company that operates four wind farms, including two in Pennsylvania, and is building two others in the state.
If renewed by Congress, the credit will cost $1.36 billion per year between now and 2015, according to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. The American Wind Energy Association says the credit, in turn, leverages $15.5 billion in private investment each year.
The tax credit's survival isn't certain, despite President Obama's support for it during the fall campaign. Obama's negotiations with Republican House Speaker John Boehner over the budget deficit have cast doubt over most tax credits and loopholes.
In addition, critics from other energy sectors call the wind power tax credit unfair. Some economists say it hurts, rather than helps, the energy market. And some deficit hawks say it should be scrapped with other tax breaks.
The tax credit's fate will have a wide impact on Pennsylvania.
More than 400 turbines in the state produce 3.5 million megawatt-hours of energy a year - enough to power more than 300,000 houses. Nearly three-quarters of those turbines are in central Pennsylvania - in Cambria and Somerset counties, near Johnstown.
The state is encouraging more windmills, said Patrick Henderson, energy executive for Gov. Tom Corbett, through policies such as a requirement that utilities sell a certain amount of energy from alternative and renewable sources.
Also, Pennsylvania is one of few states where a "fully competitive electric choice market" allows alternative energy companies easy access to consumers, said Henderson.
Those rules spur projects such as EverPower's Patton Wind Farm, a cluster of 15 turbines spread over 2,700 acres of farmland north of Johnstown. The facility is scheduled to go on line by the end of the year.
"Some of the farmers said they're harvesting the wind instead of grain," said state Rep. Gary Haluska, D-Patton.
Despite such local developments, the wind industry's attention is now fixed on Washington.
"When we look at the path forward for the wind industry, right now, the uncertainty of the production tax credit is an important factor," said Paul Copleman, spokesman for Iberdrola, which canceled the 24-turbine farm. "Plus, if you look at the state of the energy market, with prices being low, there is not a lot of demand right now."
