Poured from a 16.9 oz bottle into nonic pint glass.
Take the numbers with a grain of salt; this is my first experience with an English stout.
A - Black, opaque, with some ruby highlights on the edges. About a finger of brown/gray head rises with decent retention. Decent lacing as well.
S - I'm not really sure what I'm getting here, definitely some burnt aromas but something a little smoky, almost woody or bacon-like in a faint way. Bits of toffee and caramel also appear with a bit of a salty edge. A bit of dark chocolate pops in and out as well.
T - Mild roasted grain and burnt bread flavors hit early palate. Suggestions of toffee and caramel are somewhere in the background but overall the brew is fairly subtle. Late palate yeilds some dark chocolate and some of the woody/smokey/bacony flavor from the nose with a smidge of brine. Somewhat subtle and bland at this point, the finish is absolutely horrendous. Tannic bitterness hits but grows and grows into the aftertaste to an almost unmanagable point.
M - Despite the others speaking of the prickly carbonation, I would put it at a medium level with a medium to full body. Goes down smooth and the carbonation keeps things from getting too thick.
D - For the most part this is a nice mild, sessionable, low ABV stout, and I'm not even a huge fan of any sort of stout. The worst part of the experience is the hellacious bitterness in the aftertaste that's almost impossible to shake. Very strange and very off-putting.

Found this at a health food store while down in Greensboro,NC,pours a pitch black with an off white rather large fluffy head.Aroma is nutty and of burnt fruit,a very dry tasting stout somewhat tarry and cedary with a hint of nuttiness.Very English tasting and a good find but not sure if I could handle to many of them though.

Appearance Almost pitch black in color with a nice, tanned head that seemed to last forever.
Smell The aroma here is faint, but there are some nice roasty notes along with a hint of caramel and maybe some coffee.
Taste The roastiness really comes out nice and smooth at the tongue as does a significant bitter note. It kind of lost the edge of sweetness from the nose, though.
Mouthfeel This medium-bodied stout actually showed a little carbonation, which I thought was out of place for the style.
Drinkability This was OK, but I thought the taste was a little two one-dimensional and the carbonation threw things off.

Presentation: 1pt 6oz brown bottle -- fat with a long neck. Poured carefully (as to not disturb the sediment) into an Imperial pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a very black beer, near opaque with a massive, rocky creamy tan foam head, leaving stick on the glass and a thin cream lace. Very tight. As close to nitro as you are going to get I think, without actually being nitro.
Smell: Soft roasted malts, molasses, a touch yeasty.
Taste: A firm-bodied offering, with an impressive watery (not thin) smoothness. Immediate semi-astringent twang of citrus, salt and semi-acrid roasted malts. Suggestions of liquorice, burnt around the edges with a dry molasses in the background. This is a very dry and crisp stout with little to no malt sweetness. Flavours seem to quickly snap for your attention. Big grain/tannin flavours. Metallic hidden in with the grain. Finish is bone-dry with yeasty afters.
Notes: Quite the interesting bottle-conditioned stout. Bang-on for a the style, and one of the best for the style that I've had in a long time. And, this beer really seems to grow on you.
It would be a treat to have this on cask ... *dream*

Had this on cask at D.B.A. in NYC, they really know how to pull cask beers there.
Fluffy bubbly tan head stays pancaked on top of the striking black liquid. Medium bodied but not sweet. Soft and rounded burnt grain and charcoal flavours are lush within the maltiness and throw hints of smoke also. Earthiness comes from both this and the hops donning a growing bitter finish.

Appearance: 1 inch head, dark brown in color with a nice creamy head
Smell: coffee, cream, and caramel
Taste: coffee and a little cream
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, smooth, low carbonation, slightly bitter end
Drinkability: This to me is a just above average English stout. It tastes good and I could have a couple, but could just as easily pass.

Presentation: 1 pint, 9 fl. oz. bottle. Best before date of 12-18-03. The label is really cool. It's what caught my eye at the beer store. I could see this kind of art on nose of a WWII bomber.
Appearance: Poured a very dark, ruby-tinged color with a slight amount of thin tano-colored head that spots the glass.
Smell: Sweet yeasty smell detected. Some coffee, too. And a dash of earthy mustiness.
Taste: Very good for the style. Nothing over the top...just a well-balanced flavor. Some bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee, smidgen of hops make for quite the tasty beer. Nothing resembling any sweetness to be found. Finishes quite dry and semi-bitter.
Mouthfeel: Tightly carbonated and crisp on the palate.
Drinkability: 4.6% ABV? I could drink this all night long. Light on the palate, big on the flavor. For me, this would be fantastic when pulled from a nitro tap. Dorothy Delivers!

A 500ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2013. Acquired some time back from Booths. Pin-up girls galore!
Poured into a straight pint glass. Bottle conditioned. A very dark brown that appears pitch black in the glass. Yields a large head of beige foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. Aroma of roasted grain, dark malt, subtle molasses, a hint of dried fruit and earthy yeast. Good depth - very nice.
Tastes of roasted malt with a dry, bitter finish. Notes of dark malt, faint burnt grain, coffee, mild molasses, a hint of dried fruit, earthy yeast and a twinge of stewed hops. Well-attenuated, followed by a strident, dry bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and tingly, with spritzy carbonation and decent body for the style. Slightly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of roasted malt, burnt grain, coffee and earthiness.
Lovely - a tasty stout that hits the spot. Looks the part, while the aroma and flavour showcase plenty of roasted malt and coffee notes. The body could be a shade thicker and perhaps slightly less carbonated, but it's none the worse for that. Goes down a treat - worth sampling if you come across it.

Dark black pour, just a little light passes through down at the bottom. Creamy 1/4 inch head, good bubbly lace threads. Nice aroma, rich chocolate and a mellow blueberry tone. Very good flavor in the Brit style (non-huge), medium coffee roast, definite mocha cocoa, and a dryish but not deadly ashy finish. Pleasant creamy mouthfeel as well and it takes on better characteristics as it slightly warms. It won't blow your socks off, but this is a comfortable beer to have sitting beside the chair in an imperial pint glass.

Rich chocolate nose, with some roast, mollasses/vegemite. Really dry mouthfeel, bitter and roasty. Cadbury Chocolate flavour, some cola, vanilla, vegemite and some citric hops, quite a lot of different flavours. Light to medium bodied, with a fizzy mouthfeel. Its not bad, i just don't think the flavours blended together that well.

(Served in an Imperial pint glass)
A- This beer has a dark black body with a big spongy light tan head. The head takes up 1/2 of the glass but settles down quickly to a tight little head. The carbonation is strong with big bubbles
S- The smell of earthy dark roasted grain and some black roasted malt are very crisp. There is a hint of dark chocolate and some slight sour yeasty notes that smells more of honey malt when it warms.
T- This beer has a dark roasted malt flavor that starts with a slight sour note. There is lots of bitter black grain that has a wonderful fresh quality to it. The finish has very soft hops with some of the bitterness coming from the grain, it also has a nice hint of fresh cigar tobacco in the finish aswell. This beer is pretty dry but I think that really helps the darkness of the malt and grain come through.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a slight astringency at the finish.
D- This is a true stout. When the bitterness of the grain hangs on your breath as the hops do in and American IPA that is impressive. I enjoy dark roast coffee with big earthy taste and this appeals to the same taste buds. It really raises my standards for what a good stout should taste like.

Is it Marylan Monroe on the cover? A dark brown with decent head stout, sourish, much like an English brown really, with a tad smoke. Decent drinking. One of the highest ranked UK ales, maybe because of the boldness. Sessionable alcohol. Dry finish, thanks Mike and Jason.

Wonderful appearance! It's very deep mahogany/black body is topped by a great big dollop of rocky tan foam that holds well. It eventually drops to a creamy collar and thin surface covering while just a small rocky outcrop remains of the former mountain of foam. It leaves solid sheets of lace throughout the first few sips, and some pretty solid rings after that. The nose is limited, but displays some roastiness and some dark caramelized sugar. The flavor delivers very much the same thing with a dryish and gently acidic roasted malt that expresses some nice caramel as well. The yeast and hops have added a thin note of citrusy fruit that livens things up. It's light and smooth across the palate, gently caressing the tongue with a soft, fine natural carbonation before simply sliding away. The flavor remains, however, in a long and dry lingering finish that first displays a light metallic note; then some licorice; and finally a delicate roastiness and rising bitterness that eventually cleanses the palate and leaves you ready for another swallow. Very well balanced and quite nice! It's certainly not overdone, allowing you to have far more than one in a session if so desired; yet it also has just enough flavor and character that you might want to.

Appearance: It's a nice dark mahogany color. Mostly clear. Light cuts through easily giving it garnet (nearly purple) highlights. It's topped with a beige head that's extremely foamy. It's easily four fingers deep. It really takes its time dissipating and leaves sheets of thick lace sticking to the glass.
Smell: The nose is a little weak. It smells primarily of roasted and chocolate malts. Roasted malts smells stronger, but chocolate is apparent and gives it a slightly sweet smell. There's a touch of coffee, but it's faint. Smells a tad yeasty. It's above average, but nothing to get excited about.
Taste: The flavor profile is dominated by roasted malts. It's got a nice flavor, but is lacking in depth. There are some nice, bittersweet chocolate notes. Coffee is very faint and is buried under the mountain of roasted malt. There is a little bit of yeast flavor on the tail. Overall, it's far from bad. I'm not dazzled by it, but it's alright.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: It has a light body, leaning medium. Carbonation is too active and prevents it from having a smooth feel. Not bad though. Drinkability is pretty good. It's not imposing and goes down easy.
This beer is a little above average. I was close to awarding a "4" for flavor, but it's just a little too one dimensional. That being said, Dorothy Goodbody tastes pretty good. She doesn't have enough to justify committing the rest of your life to her. But, for tonight, she'll do.

Poured into a Guiness Stein
Color: Dark Mahogony/black 3/4" head
Nose: Lots of coffee and chocolate, some floral notes
Taste: Very smooth with a nice blend of chocolate and coffee. Some lasting hops left on the back of the tongue.
Mouthfeel: Good amount of carbonation and slight bitterness.
Drinkability: Very smooth and quite easy to drink. A great example of a British Stout. Well worth the price.

this beer wasnt what i thought it would be. sure it looks good, black as night, smells decent, roasty and hearty. but alas once in the mouth, its watery, thin and dumbed down. its like a quality stout that someone spilled some water into. unimpressed and hopefully it was a bad bottle?

Pours mahogany with 3+ fingers of mocha head. Fantastic lacing & head retention
S: Slight cola smell & roasty malt & dark fruits as this warms
T: Dark fruit, some roastyness & dryness up front. Cocoa, more dark fruit & roasty malt as this warms. Finishes roasty, with some charred grain & a touch of plums
MF: Smooth & somewhat thinish, thickens up as this warms
Drinks alright, not enough malt depth to get to jacked up about, you could surely session on this, no problem. Better English stouts are out there, but this is worth a shot

Poured from a 500 mL. capped bottle (No Date) into a pint glass.
A moderate pour yields a 1-finger tan-colored head that slowly fades after a few minutes to a thick, even coating and thick foam ring. The body is a dark brown nearing black with faint traces of ruby when held to light. Thin, even lacing clings to the glass in rings on any available surface.
Dark, roasted malts give off aromas of dark chocolate, cacao, and roasted coffee beans. There does not seem to be much of a noticeable hops presence. Furthermore, the nose itself is a bit on the mild side, but that is to be expected of a traditional English Stout (especially one under 5% ABV).
Flavors of roasted coffee beans, cocoa powder, and chocolate milk all impact the tongue at the beginning of each sip. Swishing the beer about reveals an overlying metallic flavor along with a cacao pepperiness. As the beer is swallowed, the roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavors become a bit more pronounced, as does the metallic tang. As these flavors fade, a chalky bakers chocolate flavor lingers on the palate as an aftertaste.
Medium bodied with great carbonation, this beer exemplifies drinkability for the style. The body is about as full as a 4.6% ABV stout can get. It coats your mouth well without ever becoming sticky. The carbonation is only slightly fizzy but does not seem to interfere with the body or the flavors. The swallow foams up a bit but is a welcome part of the experience.

This Stout has a nice mild coffee taste to it. The nose is that of coffee. This is a Stout that I truly enjoyed every taste that I drank and that is saying something about this particular Stout as I do not enjoy the extremely strong coffee tasting Stouts. Give me a mild tasting Stout and I am happy!

16.9 ounce bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours black with a 2 inch frothy tan head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. The aroma is dark fruit, roasted malt, and some chocolate. Taste is similar to the aroma, with the addition of charred malt and some citrusy hops. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a little bit slick but the carbonation level is very high. There's definitely more carbonation than I'd like in a stout. Drinkability is decent, but would be much better if the carbonation was lower. It's not a bad English Stout, I'll have to try this again in the future.

The aroma is sweet and cola-like. Flat black...fading to dark brown at the base of the glass with a foamy tan head that is a full two fingers thick. Fore is roasty and bitter, but also watery tasting. Almost approaches licorice tasting, but it is somewhat chicory/sasparilla tasting as well. Finish is very mildly chocolate tasting, dry and bitter. English stouts always seem to be much thinner than their North American cousins and this one is as well.

500ml bottle into pint glass (not a nonic this time, required one small extra pour). Sediment left in bottle.
Opaque all around except for the very bottom, where some ruby red hints show. A one finger light tan head slowly settles to a thin even cap. Solid rings of lacing along the glass.
A good amount of slight bitter roasted malts are in the aroma, giving reminders of back coffee. A light smokiness is in the background.
Burnt malts in the flavor, this time paired with a little bit of cocoa. Some more smokey characteristics are mixed in. Full bodied. Very dry finish.
This one has some of the burnt, smokey, and roasted characteristics that set a stout (stout porter) aside from a porter. Well rounded and solid. Recommended.

This substitution would have great political importance, because one of the babies is the only survivor of a powerful clan. But the scheme is a step too complex, and backfires.
It may be a spoiler to describe how that happens, but it all takes place so early in the film that the story is really about the aftermath and not the switch. We meet a doctor named Cheng Ying (Ge You), who is attending the pregnant sister of the king. A powerful general named Gen. Tu-Angu (Wang Xueqi) is angered that another general has married the sister — and that her child, if she had chosen differently, would have been his.
This leads to a massacre ordered by Tu-Angu, whose troops move through the kingdom, methodically murdering every member of the king's family, including all babies. The doctor, however, spares the life of the sister's baby. At the same time, his own wife has also had a male child. By switching the two babies, the doctor hopes to preserve the life of his own child, but the enraged general kills the wrong baby, the doctor's baby — and the survivor is the only surviving member of the clan.
The doctor keeps the secret and raises this orphan as his own child, as part of an elaborate scheme to gain revenge on the general. He joins the general's household, years pass, the child, Cheng Bo (Zhao Wenhao), becomes the godson of the general, and warfare breaks out. What also happens is that both the doctor and the general come to love the young man, and his origin becomes less important to the doctor.
This labyrinthine tale is told against an elaborate Chinese period background, not as epic as in such Chen Kaige films as "Farewell, My Concubine" (1993), but more intimate, centering mostly on the child and the two older men. That's what might have special meaning in a China where babies are limited and some females are aborted before birth by parents set on having a son. No particular statement is made about that, but in another sense, the whole film is about it.
Chen Kaige was one of the leading members of the "Fifth Generation" of new Chinese filmmakers who began to rise in the 1980s. Before then, he was swept up in the Cultural Revolution and forced to denounce his own father, himself a director. He later bitterly regretted this, and much of his work has to do with fathers and sons, particularly the stirring "Together" (2002), about a father who hopes to raise and understand his son, a violin prodigy. In "Sacrifice," about a father who loses his son to the power of the state, it is difficult to miss the parallels with Chen's own life.

Moral Courage: An Unsung Resource for Optimizing Health Care Practices
Thursday, November 7, 2013 | 1:00-2:30 p.m.
Power Center Ballroom
Watch the Lecture
Ruth B. Purtilo, PhD, FAPTA
Professor emerita, Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions, Boston
Moral courage most often is treated as a moral trait of individuals who speak up, step out or stand firm in situations that threaten moral values. But seldom do we view how it functions to help transform individual situations or alter basic institutional practices. In this lecture five "constituents of courage" that can act as guides promoting purposive action for the common good in health care settings and the role of spiritual formation as an aspect of empowerment for moral courage are presented for reflection and discussion.
Following the lecture, join us for the unveiling and book signing of the second edition of Contemporary Health Care Ethics. The book is coauthored by David F. Kelly, Dr. Gerard Magill, Vernon F. Gallagher Chair for the Integration of Science, Theology, Philosophy and Law, and Dr. Henk ten Have, director of the Center for Healthcare Ethics.


text: Amarillo, TX - According to a recent study, 38 percent of women in Texas will experience domestic violence at some point in their life.Unfortunately, some of those cases also happen right here in Amarillo, and Family Support Services is working to fight those numbers Saturday, the group kicked off Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a "Stop the Violence Fall Festival". After a 5K early Saturday morning, the group set up at the Polk Street Methodist Church for activities with community partners to help spread the word about the fight against domestic violence."This is not a fundraiser, this is strictly an awareness event but it helps us to have a great venue to talk about it and to get the word out and to get some more partners to help us," said Janet Byars, executive director for Family Support Services."So, all of these events help us to cultivate volunteers for people to understand what they do and how they can help." If you believe you've been a victim of domestic violence, you can call Family Support Services 24-hour help hotline to talk to someone, that number is 374-LIFE.

I have recently purchased a hand drill after doing a lot of research. I am not intending on bolting any purely sport routes with it but am hoping to use it for anchors on trad routes or the occasional piece of pro on a blank section. I am going to be drilling into hard granite and was wondering what length of bolt is considered safe. I saw a lot of different answers all over the internet. I will be using Fixe Wedge Bolts (I ordered a drill package), and they give you 4 3/8" x 3 1/2" bolts and 6 3/8" x 2 1/4" bolts. I feel completely fine with the 3 1/2", especially in granite, but the 2 1/4" bug me out a bit. Should they be safe in this type of rock or should I just use them for practice (which I was planning to do)? Thanks
i have successfully used 3/8 x 2-1/4 inch wedge bolts in hard granite, hand or power drilled, but only for protection bolts. anchor bolts, first bolts, and crux bolts should be long, IMO. however, if you hand drill a crappy hole, then i would stay away from the shorties... budget about 30+ min hand drilling time for 3/8 x 3 inch hole in hard granite. EDIT: read your post again, that you are primarily interested in anchor bolts. so yeah, go with the long ones.
Save your shorties for dire situations. Don't waste them on practice. If you must, buy some cheapo Red Heads.
I didn't know which forum to put it in exactly, and I was just about to delete this one as I saw your message and was getting a lot of input on the other board. But, It wouldn't let me.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt in the other thread and skipped lecturing you about how you should find a mentor, you can't learn on the internet, "if you have to ask..." etc. But seeing that you also posted this in the sport climbing forum leads me to believe that you really do need a bit of proper instruction in the real world before you start placing bolts on routes that are bound to be repeated. Drilling the hole and placing the bolt is relatively easy, but putting everything in the right place is not. There are inevitably things that you will not think about until your 3rd or even 30th pitch. It would help you a lot and it would be much more fun if you had someone out there with you that could give you some pointers. Having a "mentor" certainly contributed greatly to my experience and I learned 100 times faster with him around. Flying solo can be done, but it's not as safe or fun for you or anyone who repeats your routes.
You are being conscientious and that is really cool. Good you ask. In hard rock, more important than bolt length is bolt quality. Twenty seven years ago I placed some short, 3/8 studs in granite and they are still getting use. The problem is they are NOT coming out of the rock, and my choice in material means they need to. They are rusting. Don't do what I did back in the Jurasic... Make sure you spend the extra money and use stainless.

A former Phoenix police officer accused of killing an unarmed man could take the stand next week. Richard Chrisman is expected to tell his side of the story.
Wednesday, the judge ruled a controversial video of Chrisman won't be shown to the jury. That video landed Richard Chrisman on the Brady list.
It's a list of officers who have had credibility issues.
It happened back in 2005. Jurors won't get to see this video of Richard Chrisman planting a crack pipe on a homeless woman. Chrisman claims the whole thing was a practical joke and admitted to making a mistake during an internal investigation.
Prosecutors wanted to show it to the jury saying it shows Chrisman has lied on the job before.
But Chrisman's attorney says that's not true. He says Chrisman immediately told the truth and was only suspended for a day. The judge ruled jurors won't get to see the video.
Prosecutors also want to use text messages found on Chrisman's phone. Those messages were sent before the shooting happened. The judge could rule on that next week.
The trial will continue on Tuesday morning after Labor Day.

Push button is simply a rectangular command button with a text label printed on it. In most of the graphical user interface buttons are used to give command to computer or mobile to do certain task.
- Install latest Qt see Qt SDK
- Go through this article: Getting started with Qt
Various Function
- Push buttons are created without text label also and later on setText() methods can be used to set the label.
QPushButton button;
- We can also add icon to the button using the following method:
- To disabled the button we can use
- To set the button visualization Flat from default (3D) button. Figure given below shows that button "Hello" is flat and button "Bye" is graphical (3D)
- For resizing the button we have the method:
button.resize(100, 20); // first argument is width and second is the height.
- When user click on the button, it emits different signal like clicked() when it is activated by the mouse click, pressed() or released(). This signal can be connected to the slot to perform the task.
- Command buttons becomes the default push button automatically when they receive the focus. A default button is a push button that is activated when the user presses the Enter or Return key in a dialog. By default all the buttons are created auto default. You can change this with setAutoDefault(). Auto-default buttons needs a little extra space which is necessary to draw a default-button indicator. If you do not want this space around your buttons, call setAutoDefault( false ).
- There are many other methods available that can be use with push button. You can get more detail on push button at

Prosecutors have added a sexual assault charge against a Platte City man previously charged with a May 2011 murder and a December 2011 assault.
A new complaint filed June 19 alleges Quintin P. O'Dell, 23, sexually assaulted the victim of the December 2011 assault on the same day of the physical assault charged earlier.
Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd said the new charge was filed as part of the ongoing investigation of O'Dell.
In February, prosecutors charged that O'Dell murdered Alissa Shippert on May 31, 2011. Shippert's body was found on the shoreline of the Platte River on June 1 of the same year.
According to court documents filed earlier, authorities allege O'Dell struck Shippert in the back of the head with a hatchet. Shippert collapsed to the ground crying, and O'Dell allegedly got on his knees beside her and repeatedly struck her in the face with the hatchet until she was no longer crying or breathing. O'Dell then allegedly pulled Shippert's body into the river.
Prosecutors had also charged O'Dell in February with the Dec. 26, 2011, assault of a 21-year-old woman in Ferrelview, MO. Prosecutors allege that O'Dell assaulted the woman by cutting open the woman's abdomen.
Court documents filed at the time stated that the woman's intestines fell out of her abdomen on the living room floor as a result of the assault.
The amended complaint adds an allegation that O'Dell had deviate sexual intercourse with that same woman without her consent on the same date of the assault. No new probable cause statement was filed in connection with the amended complaint, and Zahnd said he could not elaborate on the new charge.
The new charge of deviate sexual assault is a class C felony, punishable by up to seven years in prison. The previous charges carry a possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors could also seek the death penalty against O'Dell. Zahnd said he was continuing to review the case to determine whether the state would seek the death penalty.
O'Dell is being held in the Platte County Jail in lieu of a $750,000 cash bond. His next court date is set for July 17.
The charges against O'Dell are merely accusations, and O'Dell is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

The draft might be the most overrated aspect of the fantasy football season. Want evidence of why? Look no further than 2010 breakout superstar Peyton Hillis.
After going undrafted in just about every league this summer, the Browns' featured back has emerged as a fantasy superstar and likely will go down as the most valuable waiver-wire addition of the season. Just how good has he been? If leagues re-drafted for the second half of the season, Hillis very well could come off the board in the first two rounds.
While he has had a magical campaign overall, Hillis' coming-out party came in Sunday's blowout victory over the Patriots. The 6-1, 240-pound bulldozer completely ran over New England for a career-high 184 yards and two TDs on 29 carries in a 34-14 win. He also added three catches for 36 yards in a dominant performance.
Coming into '10 as a backup, the afterthought in the trade that shipped Brady Quinn to Denver has completely run away with the starting job, so much so that Cleveland shipped his backup, Jerome Harrison, to Philly. Hillis is rushing for 80.5 yards per game, has scored in all but one contest and has been a major contributor in the passing game with 30 catches. For a team that has relied on a rookie QB lately in Colt McCoy, he's just what the offense needs.
He has been all that fantasy owners could have asked for, as well. Anyone who snagged him off the free-agent list in the season's initial weeks was able to add a No. 1 RB to his roster basically for free. Assembling a quality squad throughout the draft certainly is helpful to winning your league, but Hillis is a perfect example of why having a good command of the waiver wire can be equally as important.
While players of Hillis' ilk aren't available on waivers often, there are usually a few studs out there every season, and those who find them are basically handed a mulligan for a bad draft pick or two. Unless you can put together a perfect draft — and good luck with that — finding one of these diamonds in the rough is your best bet to stacking your squad with talent.
As for Hillis, after a tough matchup with the Jets this week, it should be clear sailing for him for the next month. If he's in your lineup, you have a terrific chance to be a fantasy playoff contender.

Local Girl Scout Helps Local, Foreign Communities to Earn Girl Scout Award
KATY, Texas (May 21, 2008) – Local Girl Scout Saakshi C. traveled to India to educate girls living in an orphanage about good hygiene habits and also shared her culture with local senior citizens, while completing all the requirements to receive the Girl Scout of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement, and personal development. It takes two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
After traveling to Bareilly, India a couple of years ago to visit family, Saakshi became aware of the growing problem of orphaned girls. It is much more common for this fate to fall upon a female because many impoverished families can't afford to pay dowries, according to Orphans of India, a non-profit organization devoted to restoring the lives of orphans in third world countries.
Saakshi, a junior at Seven Lakes High School, wanted to help, and focused her efforts on dental hygiene awareness. She contacted the Arya Samaj Orphanage in Bareilly and planned a "Dental Health Care Camp" for 30 of its teenage residents. She visited the orphanage to meet the girls and recruit volunteers from the local dental college to speak to the girls about good hygiene habits, as well as a local dentist to give each girl an examination. "I hope to see positive changes in the world," said Saakshi. "By instilling orphans with a positive image of themselves, they would be healthier and posses a strong and positive future."
Before embarking on her journey, Saakshi spoke to her dentist, Dr. Dhutia DDS of Katy Orthodontics, who donated a dental hygiene kit for each participant. The camp lasted five days and each girl received an examination and learned ways to protect her teeth. "I wanted to reach out to each girl and show them healthier habits to enhance their lives," said Saakshi.
Saakshi also took a piece of India home and shared it with the residents at Sunrise Senior Living in Katy. She organized an Indian Culture Fair featuring a talent show that emphasized cultural art, dance and music to celebrate India's Independence Day. Friends and family showed up to help educate and entertain more than 25 residents. "I wanted to spread the spirit of volunteerism," said Saakshi. "Hopefully this will fuel and encourage others to go out there and make a difference."
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.5 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 64,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

Research Focus
The physical biochemistry research in our group centers on understanding the molecular basis for affinity, specificity, and cooperativity in macromolecular interactions. We apply a wide range of biochemical and biophysical experiments and computational approaches in an effort to obtain a picture that can be integrated with the biological role of each system we study. A unifying feature of our work is the application of ligand-binding theory to quantify molecular interactions. A few of the systems under study at present are highlighted.
TrpR is a transcription factor that regulates bacterial metabolism by sensing intracellular levels of free tryptophan. The dimeric protein is thermostable to >90°C yet displays remarkable flexibility in its tryptophan- and DNA-binding domains. Binding of tryptophan is not cooperative despite the fact that each binding site contains residues from both monomers (1). DNA-binding specificity relies on a complex interplay of affinity and cooperativity (2). These mysteries led us to isolate a temperature-sensitive mutant, L75F with phenylalanine (pink) replacing leucine 75, that has an average NMR structure (left; 3) very similar to that of wildtype TrpR and only modest differences in tryptophan- and DNA-binding affinity and specificity but profoundly altered long-range dynamics (4). Crystal structures (middle and right; 5) suggest that a bistable helix underlies the unusual dynamic properties of the mutant. We are presently testing whether this hypothesis explains the many puzzling NMR observations for wildtype TrpR. A bistable helix affixed to a very stable protein core might suppress long-range intraprotein communication and could explain the lack of cooperativity of tryptophan binding.
WrbA is an FMN-binding tetramer (middle; 6) that can reduce water-soluble quinones in vitro using electrons from NADH. Although it is conserved from bacteria to higher plants (7), its physiological function is unknown. We have suggested it represents a bridge (8) between monomeric bacterial flavodoxins that shuttle single electrons between protein partners via FMN and multimeric mammalian oxidoreductases that shuttle two electrons between substrates in various metabolic processes via FAD. Its cavernous active site (left, right; 9) is connected to the protein surface by a hydrophobic channel that may permit access by membrane-bound substrates. A search for the native physiological substrates of WrbA is under way using biochemical and biological approaches. The redox kinetics of WrbA share with several other NADH-dependent enzymes unusual two-plateau Michaelis-Menten plots (10) that have never been explained in molecular terms. We are presently testing possible explanations for this behavior of WrbA with the aim of understanding the other enzymes as well.
ArgR is another transcription factor that regulates bacterial metabolism, in this case by sensing intracellular levels of free arginine. It is allosterically activated for DNA binding (left; 11, 12) by cooperative binding of arginine to the hexamer (13). Through a novel combination of thermodynamic and computational approaches (14; right) we have recently discovered that the hexamer undergoes a global dynamic process that is interrupted by the bound ligand (15). The mechanism of the allosteric activation signal appears to involve both redistribution of the dynamic conformational ensemble and ligand-induced adaptation, an hypothesis that is presently under investigation.

LAS VEGAS - Carmen Lozano works part-time at Safekey, the before and after school program at Raul Elizondo Elementary School. She works with several kids who often come to school without a meal or proper clothing.
"You can tell right away they need a little bit of special attention," she said.
Lozano makes sure they get it. "I bring them snacks. I bring them candy. Valentine's Day, I make them bags. Easter, I make them bags and Christmas," she said.
During this time of year, Lozano knits scarves and mittens for kids. She often shops at second-hand stores to pick up extra clothing. She says she cherishes seeing the smiles on their faces.
"I love the kids. I really do," she said.
Ten years ago, three young kids moved into her neighborhood. They immigrated to the United States without their parents and couldn't speak a word of English.
"They had no knowledge of English at all," Lozano said.
They were being raised by their grandparents who worked all day to make ends meets. For two years, Lozano would sit with them every day and help them with their homework. She also bought their books and teaching materials.
"Now, they are freshman, sophomores, and juniors at Canyon Springs High School," she said.
"She is always doing something for someone else, even if she doesn't know you. She'll go that extra step with a cup of coffee, bowl of soup," said Lozano's colleague Lu Fernandez.
8 News NOW is rewarding Carmen Lozano's efforts, awarding her $800 as part of its weekly series Acts of Kindness.

FOX 8 received this news release from DOTD Monday evening:
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that ferry service between Algiers Point and Canal Street has been suspended pending repairs to the motor vessel servicing the Lower Algiers to Chalmette route. The estimated time of service resuming at Algiers Point is unknown and DOTD will not have a definitive update until after electricians determine the required repair.
The Motor Vessel St. John was operating at Chalmette when the steering system caused a mechanical failure interrupting service at approximately noon, today. At 3 p.m., after multiple attempts to troubleshoot, DOTD made the decision to suspend service to the Canal Street ferry route and move the boat operating there, the M/V Levy, to Chalmette. Service at Chalmette resumed at approximately 4 p.m. There are currently no backup vessels for service; therefore, the estimated time of resumption of service at Canal Street will be announced following evaluation of the St. John.
DOTD apologizes for any inconvenience this interruption in service may cause. Pedestrians may use the RTA Bus Service as an alternate travel mode to the east bank. RTA bus routes and schedules can be found at www.norta.com or by calling 504-248-3900.
Travelers are encouraged to sign up to follow the latest status of the ferries on Twitter.com at Canal_Ferry and/or Chalmette_Ferry. Further information about the CCCD ferries can be found at www.dotd.la.gov/ferry/. For traffic information, dial 511 or visit www.511la.org. Out-of-state travelers can call 1-888-ROAD-511 (1-888-762-3511).

Borderland professors break down meteor strike, asteroid passage
Updated On: Feb 16 2013 11:12:02 AM CST
Friday morning around the Ural Mountain region of Russia, a streak in the sky turned into a burst of light.
Dashcams, cellphones, and security cameras were rolling on the entire event.
YouTube instantly filled with videos of the fiery landfall.
"It's not uncommon, but it's not something that occurs weekly, or monthly, or even yearly," El Paso Community College physics professor Emil Michal said.
Michal said the size of the meteor, combined with a speed of an estimated 33,000 mph, created a massive pressure wave as the meteorite entered the atmosphere.
Upon impact, the meteorite broke apart into smaller meteors. Some made landfall over Russia.
The pressure wave contributed to blown-out windows, collapsed buildings, and reports of more than 1,200 injuries.
The Internet has lead to constantly updated information and photographs.
"This essentially is available in real time, previously this was not the case," Michael said.
As the internet changes astronomy, New Mexico State University is adapting.
"The All Sky Camera Network that's based at New Mexico State is a set of nodes, cameras, that were put together in association with Sandia Labs in Albuquerque," Dr. David Voelz said.
Voelz, an NMSU professor and program manager for the All Sky Cam Network, said the program tracks meteors around the globe. The camera feeds are left available online for anyone to view.
"We have around 50 to 70 nodes operating," Voelz said. "They run all night. If a meteor comes through their field of view, the cam triggers and saves the piece of video."
While the video data is available for a variety of research opportunities, such as preparing or understanding future events, both Michal and Voelz said we're safe, for now.
"l don't think there's much reason to be worried," Voelz said.
As for the asteroid, it was estimated to be around 150 feet wide. Friday it narrowly missed the Earth, in cosmic terms.
The asteroid was around 17,000 miles away from earth, making it the closest asteroid ever recorded by astronomers. The distance was closer than some satellites.

Adirondack Fest Gives Murder for Two Musical a Launch
By Kenneth Jones
Murder for Two: A Killer Musical, the new musical comedy for two actors and a piano, gets a developmental launch by Adirondack Theatre Festival July 22-31.
Adam Overett and co-writer Joe Kinosian share a piano and play all the roles.
Expect "murder, mystery, music and mayhem" — plus comedy — in the full production, which has commercial producers attached to its future. This is not being billed as the world premiere, but it's the first fully staged production of the work, after readings.
Murder for Two has book and lyrics by Kellen Blair, and music and book by Joe Kinosian.
Scott Weinstein directs "this fast-paced musical comedy/mystery," according to ATF notes. "Audiences meet a distraught but ditzy widow, a comely ballerina, the town psychiatrist, a grad student aspiring to become a detective, a 12-member boys' choir, a squabbling middle-aged couple and more."
Overett plays Officer Marcus. Kinosian plays all of the suspects.
Performances play ATF's home at the Charles R. Wood Theater, 207 Glen Street in downtown Glens Falls, NY. Opening night is July 23.
The design team includes Kina Park (sets); Jason Kantrowitz (lighting); Lydia Dawson (costumes); and Ken Goodwin (sound). Shannon Sturgis is the stage manager.
ATF producing artistic director, Mark Fleischer, first saw the show as a staged reading in New York City in 2009. Fleischer followed the development of the musical by attending readings at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY, and Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. The production at ATF will be the first time the show is fully staged with actors not holding scripts and with the addition of sets, lights and sound design.
ATF has a 16-year tradition of developing new works for the theatre. Last summer ATF produced Adam Gwon's Ordinary Days, which has enjoyed a regional and Off-Broadway life.
For more information, call (518) 874-0800 or visit ATFestival.org.

(FOX 11 / AP) After years of silence while invoking the Fifth Amendment, the former police chief of the corruption-riddled city of Bell said he has decided to tell his story on the witness stand at the trial of a former colleague.
Randy Adams, subpoenaed by a lawyer for former Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia, told a judge he was through with claiming protection against self-incrimination.
"I will testify," he told Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy in a surprise announcement.
He was told to return Wednesday morning to the courtroom where Spaccia is on trial on multiple charges, including misappropriation of funds. Testimony had been delayed by a juror's illness.
After Adams testifies, defense lawyer Harland Braun said it is likely that his client, Spaccia, will take the stand in her own defense.
Adams told reporters he wants to testify because he believes he did nothing wrong.
When Adams was fired in 2010 after his and other Bell officials' salaries became public knowledge, he was making $457,000 a year to run a department of about 40 people, including about 30 sworn officers. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, who oversees a department of about 13,000 employees, was making $307,000 at the time.
Outside court, Adams told reporters: "I always wanted to testify and tell my side of the story," but he said attorneys advised against it.
"At this time I don't have attorneys telling me I can't testify," Adams said. "I believed from the very beginning I have not done anything wrong. ... I honored my employment agreement and did not breach it in any way."
Adams, 62, now retired, is a key figure in Spaccia's case and is being called to testify by her lawyer. Prosecutors will get their first chance to cross-examine him.
Key evidence against Spaccia includes emails with Adams in which they discussed their large salaries.
In a 2009 email exchange, Spaccia promised him they would enrich themselves as long as they didn't get too greedy.
"I am looking forward to seeing you and taking all of Bell's money," Adams wrote to Spaccia in an email shown in court.
She responded, "LOL. Well you can take your share of the pie. Just like us. We will all get fat together."
She then quoted a favorite saying of her boss, Robert Rizzo: "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered," and added, "So as long as we're not hogs all is well."
Spaccia also told Adams in another email: "We have crafted our agreements carefully so we do not draw attention to our pay."
Adams was never charged in the case because he did not draft his own employment agreement. Spaccia negotiated the contract with Adams, who had served previously as police chief in Simi Valley and Glendale.
Spaccia is on trial on 13 counts, including misappropriation of funds and conflict of interest. If convicted, she could face up to 16 years in state prison.
Five former Bell council members were convicted in March of fraud charges after jurors found they paid themselves six-figure salaries for sitting on boards and commissions that did no work. Some charges unresolved by the jury are awaiting another trial.
Spaccia has pleaded not guilty. Her former co-defendant and boss, disgraced city manager Rizzo, pleaded no contest to 69 corruption charges on the eve of trial. He has agreed to testify against Spaccia.
