Those who think racism does not live globally only have to look on the football pitch of Manchester United in England. Recently Luis Suarez (Uruguayan) was suspended for 8 games for racist comments directed to black Frenchman, Patrice Evra, on the field. Suarez's suspension was lifted after the 8 games and it added to the drama of today's game against Manchester United when he refused to shake Evra's hand before the game. This was compounded when Rio Ferdinand refused to shake Suarez hand, because his brother, Anton Ferdinand, had racist comments directed towards him from John Terry, Rio's international teammate. Terry was recently stripped of his captaincy from the English National Team because of those comments. Was Rio Ferdinand taking a stand against racism or was he simply supporting his teammate in that moment?
There have been documented occurrences of inappropriate conduct of fans shouting racist slurs. Clubs and federations have even banned an entire fan base from watching the games due to racist actions that occurred in previous matches. I imagine that there have been hundreds of occurrences of on-pitch racism in the past, but with technology and expert lip readers it's now hard to hide what you say to others on the pitch. Players even cover their months when they talk to each other while the cameras are rolling.
Even if Suarez was innocent in the proceedings held by the FA or felt injustice with his 8 game suspension, he only made himself look unprofessional and in fact a racist by not shaking hands with Frenchman Patrice Evra.
On the flipside Patrice Evra showed a bit of unprofessionalism by over celebrating after the game and making it a point to celebrate in front of Suarez. Oh, did I mention that there was a football game occurring between handshakes and celebrations?
Manchester United did win by a 2-1 margin but was superseded by the racist cloud that is hanging over the Barclays Premier League.
My hope is that one of the most diverse sports in the world will recover from the racist slurs and allegations that are becoming a common theme in this year's most riveting season on the pitch.

CCP's Dust 514 wants to bring EVE Online's world of lies, corporations, and deceit to a console FPS
Around 1,000 of the most dedicated EVE Online super-fans and a few members of the press [Disclosure: CCP paid for the hotel and airfare] made the voyage to Iceland to attend the 2012 Eve Fanfest, and the majority of them were politely watching a demonstration of Dust 514, an upcoming PlayStation 3 first-person shooter set in the world of EVE Online. The crowd didn't quite know what to expect, and the action on the screen didn't look bad, but it was hard to tell how it differed from many other first-person shooters already on the market.
Two men walked onstage and took their places in front of computers, and suddenly the screen split to show the EVE Online client. The crowd cheered, no longer just passively paying attention to a game they may or may not care about. The games were working together; one of the developers sent a message from the PS3 shooter to the PC-based EVE Online player. The crowd cheered. It wasn't over.
A Dust 514 player designated a target on the ground, and we saw an outline of the target show up on the planet the ships were orbiting in EVE Online. The ships took aim and fired, bombarding the planet from orbit. The opposing side was ripped apart and couldn't fight back against the ships floating high above the battlefield. The PS3 and PC games had worked together flawlessly, allowing players in Dust to call in reinforcements from another game being played on another platform. The crowd cheered loudly, and many stood and clapped. This is what they had hoped to see.
This year's Fanfest focused on Dust 514, and the game proved to be wildly ambitious. Dust will link PC and PS3 players and mix the first-person shooter mechanics of console games with the complexity and intrigue of EVE Online. If CCP, the developer and publisher of both games, is able to successfully launch a cross-platform game that works with the politics and violence of EVE Online, it will have done something completely new in the world of gaming. When was the last time anyone was able to claim that?
Why consoles? Why first-person shooters?
"It was on a test server," CCP CEO Hilmar Pétursson told the Penny Arcade Report when we asked about the bombardment demonstration earlier that day. "No way we could have done that in EVE. Well, we could have, but we wouldn't."
EVE Online isn't like most online games. The players not only create the story, but they create the rules. You can cheat people out of their money. You can join a group of players, called Corporations, with the intent of double-crossing your friends and selling information about what they're doing to their opponents. As long as you don't break the End User Licensing Agreement, you can do anything you want. It's a pure sandbox, and the nannies aren't always watching. "They're not playing a CCP game. We're just the janitor crew that makes sure that we clean up the mess and change the lightbulbs and once in a while, make the building bigger," Pétursson explained. "It's their game." The game has carved out a niche that's both profitable and sustainable: Over 400,000 players are paying subscribers, and the company took in $66 million in revenues in 2011.
Dust represents a huge shift for a company that's dependent on a hardcore PC game. The biggest change is the platform: Dust 514, for the time being, is a PlayStation 3 exclusive. "I think if you were to put it on PC we would have brought with us all the complexity of EVE into a shooter-style, and we would have ended up with something like an Excel shooter," Pétursson said, poking fun at people who characterize EVE Online as being a game about flying spreadsheets. "It has been really helpful to make it for consoles, to make sure it is simple and intuitive and all the sort of rules and expectations that a console product has have been helpful to make sure when you play it, you think this is not difficult to get into."
Without naming names, Pétursson made it clear that we won't be seeing Dust on the Xbox 360 in the near future. "The ecosystems of the consoles are very different. Some have a very closed approach and some have an open approach. So when we were talking to them, and what we wanted to do was very hard to pull off with the rules of everyone," he explained. "Sony is the most open, and that allows us to do the most interesting things. For us to take it somewhere else, something fundamental has to change with the other platforms. There is no way to pull this level of integration with the other platforms. That's what it boiled down to."
Still, the question is on everyone's mind: Will Dust 514 make it to the PC? Pétursson stated that they're focused on making the game work well on the PlayStation, and that's what they're talking about today. "What happens tomorrow is based on what you do today," he said.
For CCP, "yesterday" contained a few mistakes that haunted them during Fanfest.
EVE Online gets back on track
2011 was a rough year for CCP. The company rolled out an expansion to EVE Online called Incarna, and that expansion allowed players to purchase aesthetic upgrades for the newly-released avatar system. Put simply, players could now see what their pilots looked like out of the ships, and they could buy accessories for these characters. The most expensive item was a monocle that cost the equivalent of around $60. An internally created magazine with the cover "Greed is Good" was also leaked to the player base. None of this was taken lightly by the players. They rioted.
You can read the whole ugly story in my previous coverage at Ars Technica, but the player-controlled council that acts as a ruling body for the game's populace was flown to Iceland to discuss what to do about the situation, and the company was forced to take a hard look at the choices it had made and the items that were being sold to players. At Fanfest there were jokes about how CEO Hilmar Pétursson dealt with this dramatic period in the company's life; in fact, one image likened him to the red-haired "Fat Bastard" character from Austin Powers, but it was hard to laugh at the comparison. Pétursson looked miserable, pale, and depressed in every image shown from 2011.
"We didn't sell [Incarna] correctly, we didn't make it optional. We tied it up with a virtual goods strategy, which we learned a hell of a lot from. That kind of compounded and we just sort of looked at ourselves and wondered what were doing," EVE Online senior producer Jon Lander told the Penny Arcade Report. They had to reorganize and re-prioritize projects and learn when things had gone wrong. 20 percent of the company was laid off. "That was the last four months of the year, which was tough on everyone. We had some dark times. We lost some really talented people," he said. This was combined with the Icelandic winter, in which the majority of the day is spent in darkness. Lander remembered the sun coming up at 10:30 in the morning and going back down at 2:30 in the afternoon. That was Christmas Day. Morale couldn't get much lower.
In January, they brought everyone together in a theater in Reykjavik for a low-key event to show off what they had been working on. "The only thing we spent money on was a 75-shot Jäger-train," Lander remembered. They shared the plans for the rest of the year, and the sun began to come up again in March. The subscribers didn't leave the game to play The Old Republic, which had been a worry. Then Fanfest began, and the fans came in to visit. "These are the players who believe Internet space ships are serious business," Lander said.
CCP staff repeatedly referred to 2011 as "learning event," and those lessons were talked about openly during the many presentations. "This is a game about space ships, and that's what we're going to focus on," the crowd was told at one point, to applause. The team promised to end what they dubbed "Jesus features," or new things that would change the game in large ways. Instead the game would be updated to be more fun, and more focus put on what is important: Flying around the in-game world in beautiful space ships.
Fans were shown video of what the game may look like after DirectX 11 features are added. A video showing new missile and rocket launcher effects brought cheering fans to their feet. The numbers "2011" were shown on the screen at one point; the packed house first booed loudly, and then after a moment began to clap. It was a rather elegant message: fans were saying that the mistakes of the previous year were forgiven, and it was time to move on. During the last presentation, the developers sat behind the screen on the opposite end of the theater, and before the show ended they received a loud standing ovation. The players were back on CCP's side, and they weren't afraid to show the company their support. There were a few moments where Pétursson seemed to blink back tears of joy.

Research in Progress
Dr. Pasco's research interests include developing biological screens that use molecular tools to identify compounds within plants that contribute to their health benefits, especially those that exhibit immune enhancing and anti-cancer properties.
Research conducted under Dr. Pasco's supervision is focused on the detection of novel anticancer activities within natural products. These include compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory and other activities that could impact tumor progression or target cancer stem cells.
His research also deals with the isolation and identification of innate immune enhancing components within natural products that have been used traditionally to enhance immune function. Some of this research has led to the development of two patented and commercialized botanical extracts, one for general enhancement of immune function (Spirulina extract-Immulina®) and the other for improving skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction (fraction from Aloe vera). Numerous clinical trials have been conducted using these products and several more are underway.
Dr. Pasco's long term research plans includes the search for more effective approaches for the treatment of cancer and other chronic disorders. These approaches will include both modern medical practices in addition to alternative or traditional therapies. One of the main areas of focus of this research group deals with the development of molecular biological based screens for the discovery of novel agents effective in the treatment of some types of cancer. These screens will be used to evaluate extracts from a wide range of natural products including plants, marine organisms as well as various micro organisms. In addition to this random screening program Dr. Pasco also uses clues from traditional medical systems of India, China, and others for identifying source materials that may yield anti cancer agents.
The laboratories directly under Dr. Pasco's supervision are focused on the detection of novel anticancer activities within natural products. Examples of these assays currently in use are listed below:
1. Antiinflammatory-Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of inflammation in various aspects of tumor progression. A battery of luciferase reporter gene constructs are introduced into the human chondrocyte cell line SW1353. Constructs contain either the promoter for the human cyclooxygenase-2 gene or binding sites for individual transcription factors important for mediating inflammatory signals such as NF-kappa B, AP-1 or Ets2. This assay has identified compounds that inhibit various aspects of transcription factor activation and have been isolated from plants with scientifically documented antiinflammatory properties.
2. Immune modulation-Luciferase reporter gene construct containing sites for NF-kappa B introduced into the human monocyte cell line THP-1. Most activators of monocytes /macrophages influence the activity of this transcription factor and therefore information regarding the activity of this factor is useful for detecting compounds from natural products that modulate macrophage function.
3. Prostate cancer-Luciferase reporter gene construct containing sites for the androgen receptor is introduced into the human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP. Cells are treated with dehydrotestosterone alone or in combination with plant extracts to detect the presence of compounds that inhibit androgen receptor function.
4. Antiangiogenesis-Screen designed to detect inhibitors of VEGF expression in liver tumors. The expression and secretion of VEGF by tumor cells is crucial for the development of the vascular system of the tumor. The Hep 3B cell line is transfected with a luciferase construct containing the promoter of the human VEGF gene. This screen will detect inhibitors of VEGF expression induced by a combination of hypoxia and cytokines.
Dr. Pasco's long term research plans includes the search for more effective approaches for the treatment of cancer and other chronic disorders. These approaches will include both modern medical practices in addition to alternative or traditional therapies. Through the balanced use of both approaches a new health care system can be developed that focuses on the health of the whole person, physical, mental and spiritual.

Yesterday Nicole Richie arrived at traffic school classes in LA wearing the exact same outfit she had worn twice before to the same location.
She wore ray ban aviator sunglasses, a Hudson denim jacket, a floral print dress, black tights and Balenciaga bag.
I used to love play spot the difference.
The differences I spotted were that her scarf is tied differently and her jacket is button different in all 3 pictures.
Her bag is carried on the opposite arm in the last 2 pictures. Her hair is lighter – but that could just be the sun – and she's carrying a coffee in the last picture.
Can you spot any other differences?
Scarf and tights in June. *baffled*

SAN ANTONIO - A day after the Attorney General's Office released a 38-page report alleging mismanagement and misconduct by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas of the Alamo, the former DRT member who filed the complaint is speaking out and she's starting a petition in an effort to get the DRT out of the Alamo.
Former DRT member Sarah Reveley said her concern with the organization started in 2009 when she found out that the Daughters of the Republic of Texas had placed the names of the men that fought in the Spanish-American War in the men's bathroom, right above the toilet..
"They showed it to me," said Reveley. "They put it over the men's toilet in Alamo Hall because they thought it was cute."
A year later, Reveley filed a complaint that prompted an investigation over the Daughters' management of the Alamo.
On Tuesday, the Texas Attorney General's Office released a 38-page report outlining a long list of problems, including the fact that the DRT mismanaged funds and that they failed to properly maintain the Alamo.
Reveley said she discovered while going through a master plan that engineers had concerns about the roof and that the DRT did nothing about it.
"I'm just flipping through it, going, 'My God! Look what the engineer said!'" said Reveley. "And they were concerned about the roof and they told the Daughters that they needed to do some serious testing and the Daughters ignored it."
The Daughters of the Republic of Texas issued a release Tuesday that stated that they were shocked at the "outrageously inaccurate conclusions within the report." And that "it focuses on issues identified nearly three years ago that have already been resolved through contractual and organizational restructuring."
And while General Land Office officials are now the custodians of the Alamo, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas are still managers, something Reveley said she wants changed.
"They're messing with Texas," she said. "They're messing with our patriots. They are messing with the respect of the Alamo and that's bad. And we need to get rid of them."
Reveley has started a petition to remove the DRT as the managers of the Alamo.

A number of recent studies done across the nation suggest that enhancing local food production can be an important contributor to economic development. The Maine food system, which includes both agriculture and the fisheries, has long been part of Maine's traditional economic fabric. But do increased food production, enhanced processing capacity and alternative distribution systems hold any potential for Maine as economic drivers of a new economy? This proposition will be examined in light of the work of the Maine Food Strategy.

After starting the season on the road, the Reno Aces will be in town Friday night for the first home game of the 2013 season.
That means ballpark employees are working hard to get everything prepared.
The last few months, staff members have been selling tickets, replacing seats and repairing the field. Not much time to relax and enjoy the off-season.
"We have a couple weeks after the season wraps up," says Shannon Siders, Manager of Communications with the team. "We won the championship last year, so it was even later than it normally would be. But then, we're really back at it."
The culinary crew is also back at it. The executive chef at the ballpark has been training staff and tweaking the menu for three months now.
"Definitely hot dogs are always going to be the biggest seller here at the ballpark," says Justin Davis. "But, of course, we have several different healthy options with all of the wraps we're doing in the concession stands."
Just how much food is estimated to be consumed at the ballpark on Friday?
"It's absolutely up in the thousands of pounds of food," says Davis.
That number only grows when you include surrounding restaurants like Arroyo Mexican Grill.
"My staff is probably tripled for the front of the house," says Howard Aldrich, the general manager. "We're expecting a lot of big things. A lot of business. Very excited for the start of the ball season."
Business slows down when the Aces aren't in season. But now, this is when things really pick up. Aldrich says he not only has expectations for opening day, but for the whole season as well.
"The Aces win a championship last year. Got the all-star game this year. This is probably going to be the biggest year ever."
The Aces expect a large crowd Friday night. The first pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.

"This book must rank as the most devastating analysis of socialism yet penned… . An economic classic in our time." (Henry Hazlitt). More than thirty years ago F. A. Hayek said of Socialism: "It was a work on political economy in the tradition of the great moral philosophers, a Montesquieu or Adam Smith, containing both acute knowledge and profound wisdom… . To none of us young men who read the book when it appeared was the world ever the same again." This is a newly annotated edition of the classic first published in German in 1922. It is the definitive refutation of nearly every type of socialism ever devised. Mises presents a wide-ranging analysis of society, comparing the results of socialist planning with those of free-market capitalism in all areas of life. Friedrich Hayek's foreword (not available onliine for copyright reasons) comments on the continuing relevance of this great work: "Most readers today will find that Socialism has more immediate application to contemporary events than it had when it first appeared."

Update: Spain 4-0 Italy, Final Score
Italy held their own for most of the first 45 minutes of the Euro 2012 final against Spain, but the half belonged to La Roja. The reigning European champions scored a quick opener and reverted to a slow possession game, but they turned on the style with some quick counter-attacking at the end of the half. They're well in control at the moment with a 2-0 halftime lead.
On one particular early move, Spain looked like they might be content to just sit on the ball as per usual, and it might have lulled the Italians into a false sense of security. In the 10th minute, they ended what felt like a minute-long, 40-pass move with a shot by Xavi, which went screaming over the bar. Italy didn't close down at any point during the move, content to sit back and let Spain keep the ball away from the goal.
They also failed to close down Andres Iniesta four minutes later and they were made to pay for it. The Barcelona man started an attack with a brilliant through ball down the left flank for Cesc Fabregas, who beat Giorgio Chiellini to the byline and cut the ball back. David Silva made the perfect run into the box and headed the ball into the back of the net, giving Spain a 14th-minute lead.
Chiellini picked up an injury right around the time of that goal and eventually had to come out of the game. He was replaced by Federico Balzaretti, who is much more of a true left back.
Spain slowed down after their goal, looking like they were going to be content to hold onto a 1-0 lead. Italy started playing a more aggressive game, but never found a breakthrough. Iker Casillas was forced to make a punch on a cross in the 26th minute, then had to make a save on a shot by Antonio Cassano in the 29th minute. Cassano tested him again four minutes later, hitting a 25-yard rip that Casillas punched away.
With Italy playing aggressively and expecting methodical possession play from Spain, the champions struck with a fantastic quick counter. Xavi sprung left back Jordi Alba on an overlapping run and his soon-to-be Barcelona teammate torched the Azzurri defense, then finished past Gianluigi Buffon to double Spain's lead.
Italy played very well for a 25-minute spell in the first half, but their defense was cut up by spectacular Xavi and Iniesta through balls that bookended the period. This is the direct and fast Spain that the neutral viewing public has been waiting for, and their assertiveness has paid off with a two-goal lead.

We took a break from Halloween crafting this week by reading The Little White Owl by Tracey Corderoy and Jane Chapman. After completed our Little White Owl Craft we decided we wanted to make the colorful patterned owls depicted in the story too.
After the pattern is dry that you painted, take another one of the painted paper plates and cut it in half to use as the wings. I used a stapler to attach them to the body.
Next, use a generous amount of school glue to attach the last paper plate to the body as the head of the owl. At this point we also cut out eyes, pupils and a nose out of cardstock paper and glued them on to the face. Luke's owl had a striped nose so he used markers to make the pattern on his nose.
Lastly we cut a slit out of the top of the owls head to finish our owls. They turned out so colorful and pretty!

Three-car crash closes busy road in Slindon
10:54am Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Gareth Davies, email@example.com
A busy road was closed for nearly eight hours yesterday after a three-car horror crash led to an arrest.
A 33-year-old man from Crawley was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving after the incident on the A29 near Slindon at 9.30am.
The road between Fontwell and the Whiteways Lodge roundabout, known as Fairmile Bottom, was closed to traffic in both directions following the collision and did not reopen until 5.04pm.
Among the wreckage was a badly damaged silver BMW, a black Nissan 4x4 Juke, also with severe damage, and a Ford Mondeo.

A 33-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
One commuter who was affected by the incident said it was the worst car crash she had ever seen and that her thoughts were with everyone involved.
Police are urging anyone who saw what happened or has any information to call 101 or email firstname.lastname@example.com n.police.uk, quoting Operation Melton.
A year ago this week, with snow blanketing Sussex, a petrol tanker smashed into a lorry, causing the same stretch of road to be closed for nearly three hours.

As a part of the scam, the threat of a fine for shirking jury duty is used to coerce those who are contacted into providing confidential information, potentially leading to identity theft and fraud.
Walker County Ciruit Clerk Susan Odom said these actions are not from actual court officials.
"The federal, state or local courts do not call, text or email anyone regarding their failure to comply with jury service, and even if we did, we would not require anyone to provide any sensitive information," Odom said. "Most of the contact between the courts and a prospective juror is done through the U.S. Mail. And any phone contact by real court officials do not include requests for social security numbers, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive information."
Odom said jury duty is a vital civic responsibility and should be taken seriously by all citizens, but it is a crime for anyone to falsely represent himself or herself as a federal, state or local court official.
"The federal, state and local judiciary takes such an offense seriously," Odom said. "And anyone in our area who is receiving such calls, texts or emails should not provide the person who contacts them with any information requested."
Any questions regarding jury service should be directed to the Walker County Circuit Clerk's Office at 205-384-7268.

Hants to return to Barbados
Updated 4:27pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in Sport
Hampshire Cricket will return to Barbados for a fourth consecutive pre-season tour.
Giles White's squad leave on March 7 for a two-and-a-half week tour that includes a Twenty20 competition against Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire.
Hampshire's Director of Cricket said: "Barbados has been a huge part of our preparations for the last few seasons and it's hugely popular amongst the players so it's great for us to go back.
"Being able to enjoy conditions similar to that of the English summer as early as March gives us the best possible preparation for the season and will hopefully help us to hit the ground running.
"I would especially like to thank the club's Official Travel Partners, the Barbados Tourism Authority, for helping us arrange this tour and for providing an excellent package for our fans.
"The supporters' backing is absolutely crucial in the early part of the season and something we very much hope we can have in the Caribbean."

Vermont company in a sticky situation?By Taylor Reed
The Caledonian-Record | February 09,2013ST. JOHNSBURY Canadian officials have linked Maple Grove Farms of Vermont to a case in which $20 million of maple syrup was stolen in Quebec.
The company denies any wrongdoing.
Mark Bigelow, a Maple Grove manager in St. Johnsbury, declined to comment Thursday afternoon. A statement released later by the company notes, Maple Grove Farms purchased the maple syrup in good faith with no reason to believe that it was coming from Quebec or that it may have been stolen.
The case now implicating Maple Grove, a major regional company, which bills itself as the largest distributor of maple syrup in the United States and the worlds leading maple-candy producer, involves siphoning the equivalent of 10,000 barrels of syrup from a warehouse controlled by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers in Quebec. The value of the stolen syrup has been set at $20 million.
The federation has been compared to an OPEC-like cartel that distributes up to 78 percent of the worlds syrup, influences market prices by withholding supply, and maintains a strategic syrup reserve likened to the United States strategic oil reserve.
The Gazette in Montreal reported that Maple Grove was caught with 12 tanker truck loads of maple syrup that came from the syrup stolen from the warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.
The newspaper report stated that Maple Grove was visited in October by Vermont and Canadian police in the investigation connecting the company to the stolen syrup. The significance of the heist has given birth to the moniker The Great Maple Syrup Theft Caper.
The French newspaper Le Soleil reported Wednesday that the amount of syrup that could be transported in 12 tractor-trailer loads would be about 700,000 pounds. If Maple Grove purchased that amount it would equal about 15 percent of the total amount of stolen syrup.
Chief Clem Houde of the St. Johnsbury Police Department, which covers the area in the village where Maple Grove is located, said his officers were not involved in the investigation. Lt. Michael Henry of the Vermont State Police also said his troopers were not involved.
According to a petition filed before the Board of Agriculture and Food Marketing of Quebec, a Maple Grove representative confirmed the company purchased syrup from heist kingpin Richard Vallieres last summer at a cost substantially below normal rates set by the syrup federation. Media reports say Vallieres is a well-known buyer of illegal maple syrup.
Maple Grove denies the purchase was at a greatly reduced cost. Press reports that the prices paid for the maple syrup were substantially below normal rates are inaccurate. The prices paid were consistent with normal commercial prices for maple syrup purchased from sources outside of Quebec.
Canadian authorities have made more than 18 arrests in the case, including Vallieres. Maple Grove for its alleged part could face fines and trade sanctions.
The Agriculture and Food Marketing Board of Quebec frowns on the purchase of syrup from unauthorized dealers, and was scheduled to rule on Maple Groves breach of procedure this week. However, the matter was postponed to allow criminal charges to be laid in the matter, according to Canadian media reports.
The maple syrup theft was discovered in July 2012 by an accountant sent to assess inventory at the Saint-Louis-de-Blandford warehouse. The warehouse is located about 100 miles northeast of Montreal.
Maple Grove Farms was founded in 1915. It is headquartered on Portland Street in St. Johnsbury, but also maintains a branch in Saint-Evariste-de-Forsyth, Quebec.
The company concluded its statement by noting, Maple Grove Farms is committed to providing quality products and observing high ethical standards in the conduct of our business. Maple Grove Farms is fully cooperating with the investigation being conducted by the authorities, including the Quebec Police.MORE IN Vermont NewsNORTHFIELD Officials at Norwich University are set to celebrate a museum on its Northfield...

Oklahoma State alumnus and donor T. Boone Pickens says he is stunned and saddened that another tragedy has hit the university's athletics program.
His comments come following the deaths of OSU head women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna, who were killed in a plane crash during a recruiting trip to Arkansas Thursday night.
"My heart goes out to so many... Kurt Budke's and Miranda Serna's families as well as the members of the OSU Women's Basketball team who have been touched by their passionate commitment to sportsmanship, competition and an unwavering focus on responsibility."
"I grew to know and respect Coach Budke during his seven-year coaching history at OSU," Pickens continued. "His star burned bright and his loss will sadden yet strengthen the University for generations to come."
The crash comes ten years after another plane crash that killed ten members of the Oklahoma State University men's basketball program, including two players -- Nate Fleming and Daniel Lawson.
