WKRG replaced the Retro Television Network with Me-TV on its third digital subchannel in September 2011.[4]
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
WKRG-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over VHF channel 5, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 27.[5] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former VHF analog channel 5.
WKRG-TV first signed on the air September 5, 1955.[1] The station was founded by the architect and movie theater owner Kenneth R. Giddens, who also put WKRG radio (710 AM, now WNTM, and 99.9 FM, now WMXC) on the air. WKRG has served as the market's CBS affiliate from its sign-on. The station originally operated from studios located on St. Louis Street in downtown Mobile until around 1982, when it relocated its operations to an area near the Bel Air Mall, which Giddens also had a hand in developing. WKRG-TV operates on the bottom floor and the radio stations operate on the second and third floors of the building.
For years, WKRG-TV was the only locally owned station in the Mobile-Pensacola-Pascagoula area. This changed after the death of Giddens in 1993. The radio stations were sold off in 1994, although they remain housed in the same building as the television station. Spartan Communications purchased WKRG-TV in 1998; the station then came under the ownership of Media General after it purchased Spartan in 2000. The station celebrated its 50th year of broadcasting in 2005.
In 2007, WKRG entered into a radio partnership with Clear Channel Communications, in effect re-establishing ties with former sister stations WNTM and WMXC, as well as WKSJ-FM (94.9 FM) and WRKH (96.1 FM). The radio stations were previously partnered with NBC affiliate WPMI-TV (channel 15), an association that ended as a result of Clear Channel selling its television stations (including WPMI) to Newport Television in 2008.
For many years, WKRG served as the default CBS affiliate for the Pascagoula/Biloxi, Mississippi market as that market did not have a CBS affiliate of its own; WKRG was available to cable subscribers in Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi, and usually serves the area's "B" CBS station behind New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV. This changed in 2012, when ABC affiliate WLOX-TV signed an affiliation agreement to carry CBS programming on one of its digital subchannels.
On March 21, 2014, LIN Media entered into an agreement to merge with Media General in a $1.6 billion deal. Because LIN already owns Fox affiliate WALA-TV and CW affiliate WFNA (channel 55), and the two stations rank among the four highest-rated stations in the Mobile-Pensacola market in total day viewership, the companies were required to sell either WKRG or WALA (WFNA may either be retained by Media General to form a new duopoly with WKRG or remain part of the existing duopoly with WALA should both be kept or sold off) to another station owner in order to comply with FCC ownership rules as well as planned changes to those rules regarding same-market television stations which would prohibit sharing agreements.[6][7][8] On August 20, 2014, Media General announced that it would keep WKRG and sell WALA to Meredith Corporation.[9][10]
Syndicated programs broadcast by WKRG-TV include Family Feud, The Big Bang Theory, The Andy Griffith Show, The Collector and The Border.
Shows that aired on WKRG in the past include Woman's World;[11][12][13][14] The Popeye Show,[15] Rosie's Place and Small Fry News, a show featuring local fifth graders.[11] WKRG-TV was also the longtime home of Congressional Report from 1973 to 2006, billed as the longest-running program of its kind in the nation, featuring local congressmen giving viewers a local perspective of Washington, D.C. and the central Gulf Coast from their congressman's standpoint.
News operation[edit]
|This section requires expansion with: further information on the history of WKRG's news operation. (September 2011)
WKRG-TV presently broadcasts 22 hours of local newscasts each week (with four hours on weekdays, and one hour each on Saturdays and Sundays).
In 2002, the focus of the station's programming switched to weather and news, and the station's branding was changed to reflect it: it rebranded from "WKRG 5" to WKRG News 5 (based on the station's NewsCenter branding in the 1980s and 1990s) and its slogan touted it as Mobile's "Weather Authority". On October 18, 2010, starting with its 6:00 p.m. newscast, WKRG became the second television station in the Mobile-Pensacola market and the first Mobile-based station to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition.
At one time, WKRG ran an expanded morning newscast until 8:00 a.m. on weekdays, which pre-empted the first hour of The Early Show, as well as a weekday 9:00 a.m. newscast. The 7:00 a.m. newscast was cancelled in 2008 at CBS's request for its affiliates to air both hours of The Early Show and the 9:00 a.m. newscast was cancelled in 2009 due to low viewership and staff reductions by parent company Media General. As of September 9, 2013 (with WPMI expanding its weekday morning newscast to 4:30 a.m. starting that day), WKRG remains the only local station in the market to still starts its weekday morning newscast at 5:00 a.m. (as WALA did so until August 27, 2012, WEAR until July 15, 2013 and WPMI until September 9, 2013).

Serves: 6-8
In a bowl or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, chilies and adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice and lime zest and stir or process to mix well.
Lay as many bacon slices as will fit in a single layer in a large, heavy frying pan and cook over medium-low heat until opaque but still soft, about 5 minutes. Press down with a spatula to keep the bacon flat. Transfer to absorbent paper to drain. Wipe out the pan and cook the remaining bacon in the same way.
Dry the shrimp with paper towels. Sprinkle with pepper and stuff with cheese. Push the sides together and wrap with cooked bacon slice, covering all the cheese so it won¹t melt out. If necessary, secure with a toothpick.
In the same frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add a few of the bacon-wrapped shrimp and fry, turning frequently and adding more oil as needed to prevent sticking, until the bacon is browned and the shrimp are pink, about 10 minutes. Transfer to absorbent 09 paper. Repeat until all shrimp are fried.
Serve the shrimp on plates and accompany with the chipotle mayonnaise.

It's called the Horse Expo, but this year, there will be something missing -- the horses. That's because a serious and contagious disease has prompted organizers to ban most equids from attending.
Veterinarians across the state of Minnesota have declared a voluntary lockdown and are recommending that no horses be moved or intermingled for at least two weeks from the last positive case of equine herpes.
It's a sort of quarantine that ends right at the start of the Horse Expo, which means there will be 300 empty stalls. In fact, organizers are even limiting the number of show horses due to the outbreak.
"I never thought we'd see it," admitted Darrell Mead, who has held the post of barn manager at the show for more than 20 years.
According to Mead, the horses will be limited to those brought in for clinics and demonstrations out of an abundance of caution.
"We feel it's the safest thing to do for the horses in the state," he explained.
The outbreak began near the end of March, and so far, 9 horses have contracted EVH-1, including animals in western Wisconsin.
"It's just the fact that this is becoming a very infectious disease," Tom Tweeten, vice president of the Minnesota Horse Council, said.
Symptoms of the virus begin with mild respiratory issues, such as runny noses and low-grade fevers. If undetected, symptoms can become neurological. If left untreated, a horse may be unable to walk within a week. Of the 9 cases known so far, 3 have needed to be put down.
"I think that the question that comes up is: Do they understand the ramifications?" Tweeten said. "Do they differentiate it from the other equine illnesses that we typically see in the spring that we vaccinate for?"
The virus has no effect on humans, but it can be transmitted from people to horses, which is why petting the horses also won't be allowed. In fact, the expo plans to take extra precautions by including hand sanitizer and foot baths at the entrance and exit of the barns.
"We want to be vigilant," Tweeten said. "We wanted to minimize the exposure of this infection to be carried off campus."
This weekend, a similar event -- the Midwest Horse Expo -- took place in Madison, Wis. Horses were allowed in there, but experts tell Fox 9 News that event is believed to be far enough away from the outbreak that the animals should remain safe.

Marion County, Ky. (WDRB) -- Severe weather all over Kentuckiana included two EF-0 tornadoes.
Tornadoes touched down in Marion County, Kentucky and Harrison County, Indiana. Homes and barns were destroyed and one child was injured.
Marion County resident Rick Shively says, "Before we could even get out of the living room, we heard the big kaboom."
Shively and his neighbors were shocked to see what Mother Nature did. A neighbor's trailer is now in pieces and surrounded by caution tape.
Inside the damaged trailer, people can see the U of L Cards flag, a child's bicycle, and a view of the kitchen with some of the cupboards open.
The National Weather Service says an EF-O tornado touched down for 100 yards, southwest of Bradfordsville with 80 to 85 mile per hour winds.
Shively says, "Then I see the transformer blow out in front of the trailer. That's when family that lived next store come running over, saying their trailer been blowed away."
Insulation is strewn all over the powerlines. He says his neighbor's child was hurt in the storm.
Shively says the child is eight years old and he, "had a laceration on his foot 4-5 inches long."
The Southern Sports Golf Driving Range in Okolona was also damaged in the overnight storms. Six telephone poles holding nets 60 feet tall snapped in half and fell over. They were put up to protect nearby homes from flying golf balls.
Tom Burns with Southern Sports Golf Driving Range says, "We've been in business for 25 years. This is the second time it's happened. It's devastating to us."
Each pole costs $15,000 and the business says it'll be at least five weeks before the range can reopen.
Back in Marion County, as the rain continues to come down a family's trailer, neighbors are thankful the storm wasn't worse.
Shively says, "I think the Lord was watching over 'em this morning. Count their blessings that they got out of it."
The National Weather Service confirmed a separate EF-0 tornado touched down near Elizabeth, in Harrison County Indiana. An EF-1 tornado touched down three miles north of West Baden Springs, in Orange County, Indiana. Look for separate stories on wdrb.com to describe damage in those locations.

Brown-in-Berlin Program
"Comparative Modernisms"
March 23-30, 2014
During Brown University spring break, March 23-30, 2014, the Cogut Center for the Humanities will host the Brown-in-Berlin initiative's third curricular pilot program in Berlin. The program will take place in partnership with Bard College in Berlin, the Barenboim-Said Academy, the Berlin State Opera, the Europe -Middle East Program (EUME) of the Forum for Transregional Studies, and the Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Jewish Studies. The program theme will be "Comparative Modernisms," and will involve dialogues across disciplinary, academic, cultural, and aesthetic boundaries. One focus will be Richard Wagner's opera Tannhaeuser, whose second version ignited Parisian audiences, including Charles Baudelaire, in 1861. A new production will be in rehearsal at the State Opera while we are in Berlin, and we expect to be invited to attend one or more rehearsals during the week. We will also engage with leading faculty members and scholars from both Brown and Berlin.
This opportunity is available to Brown University graduate and undergraduate students only. Limited funding is available and we expect to assemble a diverse group of ten undergraduate and graduate students.
For more information on this Spring 2014 trip, apply here. Application deadline is January 15, 2014.
About Brown-in-Berlin
(l - r) Kevin McLaughlin, Dean of the Faculty; Carsten Siebert, Managing Director, Daniel Barenboim Stiftung; and Thomas Rommel, Rector and Provost, ECLA/Bard College on site in Berlin
An initiative of the Cogut Center in conjunction with "Brown in the World/the World at Brown" grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the George and Joan Hornig Undergraduate Travel Grants, Brown-in-Berlin is building a program of one-semester residencies in Berlin for faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate as well as undergraduate students, with a projected start date of Fall 2015.
A faculty steering committee meets once a semester to build the program. In Spring 2013, Cogut Center Director Michael Steinberg traveled to Berlin on assignment from Brown to investigate possibilities for this program, including the role of key institutional partners such as the European College of Liberal Arts (EC LA)/Bard College and the Barenboim-Said Academy.

"This is the most beautiful Christmas card we've ever had! Many of our friends commented saying, "What a card!," and that this card earned us "Christmas card of the year!" We ordered it with the pearlized finish and it was absolutely stunning! The picture quality was fantastic. We had such a great experience that we will order cards every year from now on....it will be hard to top this one!"
"Had second thoughts but when the card came it was absolutely beautiful. The pictures are a good size and they allowed me to showcase my 2 children and all their activities. My only complaint is that the box for my christmas 'letter' was a little small. The card stock is very thick and luxurious and made an impact when delivered. Everyone thought that the card was stunning. This is my third christmas with tiny prints and always wonder if they can get better. Every card has been different from the other and they have never failed to impress. thanks!"
"I really liked my cards, and the people who received then had very favorable comments. The only thing I would change would be the ability to add text boxes where I want them and to make the text box larger if I need it to be."
"Everyone loved the card, it became a mini album of our vacation. I loved the ability to personalize. The pearlizing of the card really added a nice sheen so that was a nice final touch. The quality of the paper is A-1. The printing was beautiful. I loved being given a free hand to "create" and also knowing that a Tiny Prints tech would be available if I ran into a snag. Great experience! Will be doing this every year now with you. Thank you! Rosemary Place, Chicago, Illinois"
"This card looked nice online and is even better in hand! Nice quality paper and our photo image looked great. One of my favorite cards ever!"

I have provided some detail of what we did on each of the ports and would urge anyone to get off an explore on every island - do your own thing.
The highlights for us were the picturesque Wilemstad, the spice market and Grand Anse beach on Grenada, the local bar and resturant converted from a shipping container in the middle of nowwhere in Barbados where we entertained the locals when trying the hot sauce (yes, it is !. We loved the atmosphere in Marigot and the people and beauty of Dominica.
The service and food on the ship was top notch - we had chosen the 8.30 sitting and ate in the Oriental restaurant most nights. Our waiters Sri and Juan were excellent and the food choice and quality terrific. We ate at the 3 select venues during the cruise and really enjoyed the change in style and pace. Sindhu was our favourite for food - Sean loved the Rabbit tikka but we also enjoyed the experience of the tasting evening at The Glasshouse and would recommend this to anyone and understand it gets booked up very quickly. We ate in Seventeen the night of my birthday and it was a lovely meal although we were puzzled why the wine menu was smaller thatn in the main restuarant? My only comment about dining in the select restaurants is that although the food and service is top notch I felt they lacked the atmosphere of the main restaurant.
The entertainment was varied and very professional - we had no trouble getting a seat at any of the later shows in either the Playhouse or Manhatten. The Reel to Reel show put on by the Headliners was as good as many West end shows we have seen.
I woudld not hesitate to recommend this ship or this intinerary to anyone and felt you could find your own perfect holiday so easily with all the choice on offer.

Phresh Products Pure & Natural Phresh Himalayan Crystal Salt is a high quality pink himalayan crystal salt which is known to be very beneficial. This salt was once a primordial sea that was evaporated by the sun. This pristine ancient body of water was uncontaminated by any toxins or pollutants. Today, this crystal salt, found deep in the Himalayan mountains, is gently mined and processed by hand. This ensures that it's pristine and retains it's original crystalline qualities. Phresh Products Phresh Himalayan Crystal Salt can be used for any variety of dishes. Use it to enhance flavor or as a beautiful garnish for any meal or beverage. Delight your senses and awaken your taste buds with Phresh Salt!
Phresh Himalayan Crystal Salt vs. The OthersWe have all been told to reduce our salt intake to control blood pressure. This refers to the refined table salt used to day for cooking and in food products. There are enormous differences between the common, refined table and cooking salt and Himalayan crystal salt. These differences, which are summarized below, can have a major impact on your health.Common Table SaltStripped of all its natural elements through industrial processing. The result is Sodium Chloride only. The unnatural crystals are isolated from each other and dead. In order for the body to metabolize these crystals, it must sacrifice tremendous amouns of its own precious energy reserves.Sea SaltA great percentage of sea salt is processed. With the ocean becoming increasingly polluted, this salt is far from ideal. It is composed of irregular and isolated crystalline structures, disconnected from the natural elements surrounding them. Consequently, the vital minerals, however many it may contain, cannot be absorbed by the body unless the body expends tremendous energy to vitalize them. The net gain is small with an even greater loss of energy. Himalayan Crystal SaltThe balanced crystalline structure reveals the fine branching with no shadows or rough edges. The crystal is not isolated from the inherent mineral elements (84) but is connected to them in a harmonious state. This tells us that the energy content, in the form of minerals, is balanced and can be easily metabolized by the body. This crystal is full of life. When taken into the body, it will have a vital energetic effect on the body. The result is a net gain for the body and zero energy loss.
Uses of Phresh Himalayan Crystal SaltFood Enhancement and CookingSimply sprinkling a small amount of Phresh Salt on your foods will add all 84 minerals to any item and will greatly enhance the flavor you experience. In addition, using phresh salt during food preparation will enhance the flavors of your meals and enliven your taste buds with new sensations.BathingBathing with Phresh Salt (also known as a brine bath) is truly a renewing and therapeutic experience for the mind & body. The essential minerals in Phresh Salt are absorbed through the skin which helps detoxify the body and cleanse the skin of impurities. The minerals present in Phresh Salt have properties that include creating and promoting healthy cell regeneration, pH balancing, skin permeability and elasticity, moisture-retention and protection from allergies and infections. A brine bath helps maintain the natural, protective film of the skin which prevents the skin from drying out. The cleansing effect of a 30 minute brine bath equals that of a three-day fast. When you take a brine bath, the salt minerals help your skin in the form of ions whereby bio-energetic weak points will be balanced and your body's energy flow will be activated.BreathingUsing a salt inhaler with Phresh Salt will help clear your sinuses and cleanse your respiratory system of bacteria and viruses. This "dry" therapy, well known in Europe as Halotherapy, and Speleo-therapy, fall under the category of physical therapy, or drug-free treatment of disease. Salt inhalation was recommended by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine.Nasal WashPhresh Salt can be added to a netti pot for an effective, therapeutic nasal flush that will clear the sinuses of viruses and bacteria.SoleA fully saturated solution of water and Himalayan Crystal Salt that is comparable to the natural liquid your body is made up of. Taking this solution daily provides your body with the minerals it needs to function properly at the cellular level. A sole is created when water becomes saturated with salt-when the water can no longer dissolve more salt. At this point, the salt crystals remain undissolved on the bottome of the jar, indicating that the solution has reached it's saturation limit. The water is now fully saturated with salt.Phresh Products Questions & AnswersWhat is Phresh Salt?Phresh salt is raw unrefined and unprocessed Himalayan Crystal Salt. It is hand washed and hand mined ensuring the highest level of quality and integrity.What are the health benefits of Himalayan Crystal Salt?A study conducted at the University of Graz in Austria found that people who drank water containing Himalayan crystal salt daily experienced improvement in respiratory conditions, organ functions, and connective tissues. Participants also reported sleeping beter and having more energy. They study noted a boost in the ability to achieve higher concentration of levels. Some of the study participants stated they lost unwanted weight while others involved in the study showed enhanced hair and nail growth. Also Himalayan Crystal Salt contains 84 trace minerals compared to most other salts that contain less than half of that.How much Phresh Salt should I put in my body each day?Consult your physician as this can very from person to person.Can the Phresh Salt go bad? How should it be stored?The salt can be kept indefinitely. It will never go bad. It can be kept anywhere. It doesn't have to be refrigerated nor kept in the dark. However, it is recommended to keep it in a closed container to keep it free from dust and other airborne particles.Can I use the Phresh Salt along with my fasting or cleanse?The Himalayan Crystal Salt is a good complement to fasting and cleanses. It helps to eliminate the toxins and also provides vitality and support to the body as it labors to rid itself of toxins. Just to be sure to drink sufficient amounts of water while fasting or cleansing.I though salt was bad for you?Most people don't realize that salt is essential for life - you cannot live without it. However, most people simply don't understand that there are enormous differences between the standard refined table and cooking salt and natural health-promoting salt.Why is Himalayan Crystal Salt better than white table salt?Believe it or not table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as miosture absorbents, and iodine.

The power shift at the statehouse is reflected in the latest rankings of the most influential lobbyists, as newcomers flourished and Republicans surged to the top, according to the N.C. Center for Public Policy Research.
Tom Fetzer, the former state GOP chairman who helped Republicans take control of the legislature, landed at No. 2 in his first year working under the rotunda.
Only Dana Simpson, a former aide to a Republican House leader in the mid-1990s, bested Fetzer. At age 38, Simpson, who ranked No. 14 in 2010 when Democrats controlled the legislature, is the youngest lobbyist ever to claim the top spot. His clients included Progress Energy, WakeMed Health and Hospitals and The N.C. Museum of Art Foundation.
"There's been a whole changing of the guard," said lobbyist Fred Bone, a longtime statehouse watcher.
The unscientific rankings are compiled through surveys of lawmakers, lobbyists and capital correspondents. About two dozen of the lobbyists who made this year's top 60 are ranked for the first time and most represent an assortment of special interests on contract.
The top 10 features mostly lobbyists with Republican ties, a reversal from two years ago when Democrats filled the upper echelon.
"The issues in the last two years allowed to be heard and debated have dramatically changed," explained Connie Wilson, a former GOP lawmaker who became a lobbyist after leaving office in 2004. Wilson is ranked No. 7 after not making the top 55 in 2010. "There is an increased demand for Republican lobbyists," she added.
The special interests that hired the top lobbyists in the 2011-2012 legislative session were predominantly health care and energy entities.
Nine of the 10 most influential lobbyists represented a client in the health care industry, either hospital systems or pharmaceutical companies.
Five of the top 10 represented Duke Energy, Progress Energy or ElectriCities, all of which held a stake in the Duke-Progress merger. The legislature had no role in approving the merger but the companies are subject to state laws and regulation.
"The rankings shed light on what is often an invisible process," said Ran Coble, the center's executive director.
Seven lobbyists ranked are former lawmakers, who are required by state law to not lobby their former colleagues for six months after leaving office.
"Former legislators know what it takes to make things happen," Coble said. "They also have long-term relationships with their former colleagues that can open doors."
The general partisan shift didn't surprise Rep. Leo Daughtry, a Smithfield Republican. "That's the way it works," he said.
The News & Observer's capital correspondents did not participate in the survey.

The Voice Of The Democratic Party
Georgia Senator Zell Miller has publicly endorsed President George W Bush for re-election. His action goes against the fundamental values of the Democratic Party and is disloyal to the Democrats of Georgia who have supported him for over 30 years. As proud Democrats, we request that voters across Georgia and the nation join us in asking the Party to publicly censure Senator Miller, remove him as a super-delegate and rescind his voting privileges at the state and national conventions. We also recommend that Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle remove Senator Miller from all legislative committees. Finally, we would like the Democratic Leadership to ask Senator Miller to work within the Democratic Party in helping influence change and to refrain from further dividing the Democratic Party. At a time when our country is facing significant challenges, rubber-stamping endorsements hardly serves the intent of democracy, inhibits proper dialogue and oversight, and discourages non-partisan consensus building. This petition will be delivered to Senator Miller and the Democratic Leadership both nationally and in the state of Georgia.

There is an old Chilean proverb that states, "If you are in a hurry in Patagonia, you are wasting your time." In Puerto Chacabuco, a Chilean town in the Aysen commune, time passes at the leisurely pace of nature's cycles. The gorgeously landscaped town is a small, isolated settlement situated along the wild-west fjordland coast. Patagonian ice sheets fall into the sea and the area provides a chance to view Black Necked Swans and the endangered Giant Condor.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
The wild and beautiful Aysén District of Chile lies south of Chiloé and Puerto Montt. Enjoy a glimpse of the impressive landscape in this wet and windy region that makes up a part of the Chilean Patagonia. The construction of the Carretera Austral Roadway now makes the area more accessible for travelers who come to this area of Chile to experience frontier country. Begin with a scenic drive through beautiful scenery as you follow the river along the base of a deep rocky gorge. Visit the Rio Simpson National Reserve, where we take a brief walk down to the river to photograph this rugged scenery. At the information center see a small museum displaying exhibits of local fauna and flora. The return journey will take you back through the small village of Puerto Aysén on the way to the ship.

The Detroit Lions have put Fairley on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.||||||| The 2011 first-round pick started seven of 13 games, had 5 1/2 sacks and 35 tackles after a lackluster rookie year. Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to DUI and reckless driving and was sentenced to a six-month suspended jail term, a year of probation and a $600 fine. He hopes a pretrial diversion program will allow those charges to be dismissed.
A Mobile municipal judge has dismissed a misdemeanor marijuana charge against Fairley.||||||| Defense attorney Sid Harrell said the charge was dismissed on Tuesday. Judge Matt Greene agreed with prosecutors that there wasn't enough evidence to show partially smoked marijuana cigarettes found in Fairley's vehicle on April 3 belonged to the former first-round pick out of Auburn. Harrell says Fairley passed a drug test Tuesday, is tested several times a week by the NFL and has passed them all.
A lawyer for Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley says he will ask that the player be allowed to participate in a pre-trial diversion program instead of facing a trial on charges in Alabama.

Fairley was arrested in Mobile County on May 27 after a state trooper said he was traveling at 100 mph in his Cadillac Escalade and initially didn't pull over. He also faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge Nov. 27 in his hometown of Mobile. Fairley was a 2011 first-round pick after helping lead Auburn to a BCS title.
Fairley's court hearing on charges including driving under the influence and attempting to elude police has been pushed back to Sept. 26.||||||| Mobile, Ala., County District Judge George Hardesty Jr. granted defense attorney Sid Harrell's request for a delay on Friday. Fairley earlier had a hearing on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in Mobile Municipal Court continued until Nov. 27.
Fairley is publicly apologizing for his recent arrests in Alabama.||||||| Fairley says his "actions were inexcusable." Writing Friday on Facebook, he says he needs to meet the high standards of being a professional athlete. Fairley was arrested in Mobile County, Ala., on May 27 after a state trooper said he was traveling at 100 mph in his Cadillac Escalade. He was cited for reckless driving, no proof of insurance and open container. Fairley also was arrested April 3 in Mobile, Ala., for possessing marijuana.

En español | Social Security benefits are paid in the month after they are due. So, if a person dies in the middle of June, the check that arrives that month is actually for the month of May. Thus, the deceased is not being overpaid and the estate does not have to give back anything.
However, Social Security does not issue partial-month payments. Because the person did not live for the entire month of June, no benefit at all is due for that month. If the family does not notify Social Security in a timely manner of the death, the full June benefit may be paid in July and the money would have to be returned.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
RNA viruses are important class of human pathogens that causes an array of human diseases. RNA viruses can also act as oncoviruses to promote cancer development (oncogenesis). For example, retrovirus like Human T lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) has been associated to T-cell leukemia, while hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been linked to development of liver cancer. Several RNA viruses also possess anti-cancer property. Known as oncolytic viruses, these viruses specifically "kills" cancer cells, but not normal cells. RNA viruses that possess oncolytic activity are vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), measles virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), mumps virus, reovirus, coxsackie virus, poliovirus. In the last decade major stride has been made in understanding the mechanism of oncogenesis by HTLV-I and HCV. These have led to development of treatment regimen to combat virus-associated cancers. Similarly, research with oncolytic viruses has illustrated the possible usage of these natural or genetically engineered "anti-cancer" viruses to treat various cancers and solid tumors either alone or in combination with other non-virus cancer agents (radiation, chemotherapy etc). This has culminated in major progress for development of safe and efficacious oncolytic viruses that can specifically target cancer cells (and tumors). This special issue will publish original research papers and review articles on RNA oncovirues (HTLV-I and HCV) and oncolytic viruses that possess RNA genome.

Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a hepatotropic virus, is a single stranded-positive RNA virus with ~9600 nt. in length, which belongs to the Flaviviridae family. HCV infection causes acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It has been reported that HCV-coding proteins interact host-cell factors, which are involved in cell cycle regulation, transcriptional regulation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Severe inflammation and advanced liver fibrosis in the background of the liver is also associated with the incidence of HCV-related HCC. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis in HCV-related liver diseases.

Title: Reovirus Clinical Trials: Past, Present and Future Perspectives
Authors: Chandini Thirukkumaran, Matt Coffey and Don Morris
Affiliation: Department of Oncology, Tom baker Cancer Centre, University of Calgary, 1331 – 29 Street NW, Calgary, AB, Canada T2N 4N2; E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Abstract: Reovirus, an ubiquitous double stranded RNA virus has been shown to target cancer but not normal cells under in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo conditions. These findings have provided pre-clinical data for the ongoing advanced stage clinical trials. To realize the full potential of this virus in a clinical setting, optimizing the host/tumour/virus microenvironment is imperative. Paradoxically, immune clearance of the virus presents a limitation in reovirus treatment of patients whereas harnessing the immune system towards an anti-tumour and immune surveillance of the cancer represents a pivotal advantage in patient treatment. This review presents a timely overview of the clinical trials that have been conduced to date: from primates to phase III trials, lessons learnt from these trials and future clinical trials that are planned. Strategies that will be developed to overcome hurdles faced in the clinic that may lead to attainment of the full clinical potential of this viral therapeutic that has versatile activity against a spectrum of histologies will also be discussed.

Agile Methods - Delivering Software Faster
A core tenet of agile methodologies is to help teams deliver software more quickly. But with the plethora of agile practices available to choose from, teams new to agile struggle to find the right practices that help them realize speedier delivery. In coordination with the just published Agile refcard, DZone had the opportunity to chat with Amr Elssamadisy, Partner at Gemba Systems and author of "Agile Adoption Patterns: A Roadmap to Organizational Success", about agile and the promise of speedier delivery.DZone: Iterations may be anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. Is there value in shorter vs. longer iterations, or is this largely contextual?
Amr: Iteration length is largely contextual. There are smells that indicate that your iteration is too long or too short. For example, if your setup and teardown time for an iteration (kickoff meeting and demo) are taking a significant percentage of your iteration, you might want to consider lengthening it. If, however, you find that your estimates are consistently off, or that you are not getting enough feedback you may want to make the iteration much shorter.
DZone: Is it really necessary to release often? Or is it most important at the end of an iteration to have deployable software, though it may not necessarily be deployed? There may be some confusion surrounding what is meant when saying "release your software to your end customers as often..."Amr: None of these practices are *really necessary*. They are very helpful in increasing time to market if that is your goal. And, if you want to get to market fast, then as the Nike commercial says, Just Do It! No matter how close you think you are to deployment, there is no substitute for really deploying and getting your customers to use your new software (and give feedback) faster. You'll notice, for example, that Amazon and Google do this all the time.
DZone: Isn't there a strong relationship between the technical expertise, and the technically difficult practices, and greater IT/business alignment?
Amr: Technical expertise gets you and your team to being "well-oiled", and that definitely goes a long way in enabling business/IT alignment. The research cited in the refcard supports that and strongly suggests that you start with technical expertise to enable alignment. Now, if you mean are the technical practices, such as automated developer tests, more important than the non-technical practices, I'd have to say it depends on how short-term your needs are. Technical practices typically take longer to adopt and have more long-term value and less immediate value (all of this with respect to time to market only) than the non-technical practices.
DZone: What techniques can I use to help understand which 45% of features are never used? Can you elaborate further?
Amr: An onsite customer is a first step. Having a cross-functional team that works within an iteration from a prioritized backlog that releases early and often (not just gets to done state) is another step. These two things will give you feedback. You need to then, as a team, inspect and adapt. To be blunt, however, this is not something that we have a lot of rigor and experience around in the Agile community and I expect to see much more on this subject in the future.
DZone: What impact on organizational culture may adoption of these practices have? Are there techniques to help alleviate any challenges?
Amr: That question is out of context for the card and really needs a book or two on its own. I'll refer the reader to the first section of Agile Adoption Patterns, especially the chapters on Personal Agility and Learning is a Bottleneck. If anyone is interested in more information on this topic, send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll be glad to forward several articles on the subject .
DZone: When talking about Done state, what's the role of testing in determining Done?
Amr: Done state, as defined here, is an agreement among the members of a self organizing team. It should be as close as possible as they can get to deployable software. That varies from team to team depending on their starting point. At the minimum, all requirements should pass acceptance tests - whether manual or automated.
DZone: What role does the customer play in determining the Done state?
Amr: If there is a customer that is part of the team, absolutely. They are responsible for defining the acceptance tests that must be passed for something to be considered done.
DZone: Is it possible to adopt these practices without an on-site customer?
Amr: If you look at the dependency graph for the practices that affect time to market, the ones that are not directly or indirectly dependent on onsite customer can be adopted without one. These include Simple Design, Refactoring, Automated Developer Tests, Done State, and Cross functional team. The rest, however, are dependent on onsite customer. That means that they need an onsite customer to be most effective, not that they cannot be done without an onsite customer.
DZone: If the software works, but has poor design, isn't there a cost to refactoring that can actually slow the team down?
Amr: Absolutely, refactoring can slow things down in the short run. Over the long run things get much faster. That is the same with automated developer tests and automated acceptance tests. The technical practices, as a rule of thumb, can slow things down before they start to get faster. On the other hand, every day you don't start addressing your technical debt - what you called poor design, is a day that you are digging your hole a little deeper and making things a little slower.
DZone: Thank you, Amr, for taking the time to chat today.
Amr: Thanks for giving me the chance to answer these questions.

I had a comment on this question:
Is it really necessary to release often? Or is it most important at the end of an iteration to have deployable software, though it may not necessarily be deployed? There may be some confusion surrounding what is meant when saying "release your software to your end customers as often..."
I think that it is important to deploy often, but not necessary. I think that when you deploy (even if it is to a QA server, or some other internal server), you get good practice at actually deloying, and it will make your real production releases/deploys go that much smoother. It will help you identify possible issues with your deployment as well. I think most of us develop in one environment, and then probably deploy to a separate one (we develop using Eclipse in a Windows environment, and can run our application inside Eclipse using Tomcat, but when we deploy it is to a Linux box running Apache/Tomcat).
As Amr said, it is also great to have a customer (or at the very least someone who represents the customer) look at your software often so that you can make changes early. As we all know, the earlier that you can give feedback on functionality in software, the easier it is to change. After it is completely built, it can become much more difficult to change.

Towson University's Athletic Academic Support unit will provide advising, counseling, leadership, supervision, monitoring, tutoring, and other services to student-athletes within the framework of university, departmental, and athletics' regulations and resources.
Support will evolve through an articulated series of academic programs directed toward making the student-athletes increasingly independent as both persons and scholars.
The Athletics Academic Support unit will facilitate, coordinate, and expedite all matters academic within the department and university. The support unit will maintain the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and loyalty at all times.
The Towson University's Athletic Academic Support program is designed to enhance the experience of each student-athlete in the university setting. The primary goals are as follows:
- To support the efforts of every student-athlete who attends Towson University to earn a degree;
- To provide assistance for the student-athlete in the development of values, emphasizing the qualities of leadership;
- To enhance the interpersonal relationships and communication skills of each student-athlete;
- To facilitate the fulfillment of career and life goals of each student-athlete;
- To safeguard the academic integrity of Towson University by insuring compliance with all rules of the NCAA, conferences, and the University.
Meetings with Assigned Sport Advisor
Individual meetings with student-athletes can assist with his/her organizational structure in which to operate as supervised study time. The student will be taught an overall organizational structure that includes:
- Note taking
- Time management
- Proactive planning
- Learning strategies
- Test taking skills
- Personal responsibility
Study Hall
The study hall program is designed to enhance the academic skills of the freshman student-athlete to increase their chances of success in the classroom. The study hall program, required of all freshman student-athletes and first semester transfers, consists of six hours per week in the first semester of enrollment. Hours could increase or decrease per coaches and advisor's discretion.
Tutor Program
The tutorial program assists the student-athlete with their studies and is designed to provide academic support for Towson University student-athletes. The goal of the tutorial program is to promote academic excellence, not merely to keep the student-athlete eligible. The student-athlete may be assigned an individual tutor upon request, or the student-athlete may be required to attend group tutoring sessions per the academic advisor's discretion. The tutorial coordinator completes all hiring, payroll, and dismissing of tutors.
Laptop Loan Program
If a team is traveling during season, there are a number of laptops available for checkout to take on trips for student-athletes. The student-athlete must see the assigned advisor for paperwork and the process of release of laptops. All teams must adhere to the laptop loan policies and procedures.

House sales 'at seven year high'
Chartered surveyors say the number of homes sold in Wales was at its highest, for the three months to September, for seven years.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) survey also says it shows the extent the market's picking up.
It says, in tandem with increasing numbers of sales, prices continued to grow in Wales with 20 percent more respondents reporting rises rather than falls.

To bruise, cut, or injure the skin of.
The outer covering of a vertebrate animal, consisting of two layers of cells, a thick inner layer (the dermis) and a thin outer layer (the epidermis). Structures such as hair, scales, or feathers are contained in the skin, as are fat cells, sweat glands, and sensory receptors. Skin provides a protective barrier against disease-causing microorganisms and against the sun's ultraviolet rays. In warm-blooded animals, it aids in temperature regulation, as by insulating against the cold.
The external tissue that covers the body. As the body's largest organ (it makes up about one twenty-fifth of an adult's weight), the skin serves as a waterproof covering that helps keep out pathogens and protects against temperature extremes and sunlight. The skin also contains special nerve endings that respond to touch, pressure, heat, and cold. The skin has an outer layer, or epidermis, and a layer immediately below, called the dermis.

July 23 Dawson Community College baseball alumnus, Hunter Balmer, signed a national letter of intent to play baseball in North Carolina for Mount Olive College in Mount Olive.
Balmer, a Brigham City, UT native, will travel over 2,000 miles to reach his new home - a NCAA Division II institution that plays in the Carolina Conference.
This past season the MOC Trojans had a 44-10 record, winning the regular season and tournament championships. Mount Olive also won the 2008 NCAA Division II National Championship. They spent several weeks this season ranked number one in the nation.
"Hunter had and outstanding career at Dawson Community College, capping it off by hitting .426 this past season. Although he played shortstop at DCC, he will most likely move to third or first base for the Trojans" DCC head coach Aaron Carroll said in his announcement Monday.

(HealthDay Information) — Regardless of whether you stay in a huge city or modest town, you will almost certainly discover no shortage of nail salons. But ahead of you treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure, discover out if health and sanitation tips are becoming fulfilled.
Filthy instruments and very poor sanitation at some nail salons can set females at danger for illnesses this sort of as athlete's foot and hepatitis B and C.
St. Mary's Clinic Health-related Heart in Eco-friendly Bay, Wisc., advises having these safety measures:
- Make positive your salon has an up-to-day functioning license.
- Do not shave your legs the night time before or the working day of a salon footbath. Scrapes and nicks can make you more susceptible to an infection.
- Verify that nail instruments are correctly sanitized. Heat sterilization is greatest. Even much better: Provide your very own nail instruments.
- Clean your fingers prior to a manicure and question your manicurist to do the exact same.
- Insist on refreshing soapy water for hand or foot soaking.
- Question the manicurist to drive back cuticles alternatively of reducing them.
