Letter from the Editor
Free Enterprise
My town has one cable company. One or two other options exist for high-speed Internet service – some (but not all) locations support DSL through the phone provider.
If you have the money, you can get mobile wireless access or a satellite dish. All these options are built on an enormous infrastructure investment.
Whenever I hear about the net neutrality debate, I feel like it should focus on real situations like my hometown rather than on the superficial tropes that fall so often into our political discourse. Superficiality is a constant companion in politics because it is usually in someone's interest to make difficult questions look easy.

Get A Special Edition of Swamp Thing on DVD
This petition is to get a Special Edition of Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing is a 1982 film written and directed by Wes Craven. It starred Louis Jourdan, Adrienne Barbeau and Ray Wise as the scientist who was transformed into a monster (Swamp Thing) by a laboratory accident. The film was based on the DC comics character of the same name by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. A latecoming, low-budget sequel entitled The Return of Swamp Thing appeared in 1989. Filming occurred primarily on location in Charleston, South Carolina, and nearby Johns Island, South Carolina due to the region's picturesque swampy scenery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_Thing_%28film%29

HUGO, OK - A father is looking for answers after his son was found dead in a Hugo neighborhood.
"He was a good person, and he didn't deserve this."
On Sunday morning Tony Jackson says he got a knock on the door that no father ever wants to get.
"I really don't know what happened. The preacher came and got me and told me they had found my son dead, so I come over here and seen him laying on the ground and that's all I know." said Jackson.
Jones' body was found early Sunday morning between the church and his cousin's house.
His father says he has seen him the night before getting ready to go somewhere.
He says he believes he was running from someone trying to make it to this trail that leads home just across the street.
"There's no place on God's earth for people like that, when a person trying to run for their life and you still kill them.. Ain't no place in society for them." Jackson said.
Jackson says his son was getting his life back on track and working, when it was tragically cut short.
Neighbors say they think he had gotten into a confrontation at the club just around the corner from the neighborhood at the corner of Lowrey and Broadway.
"Right now OSBI agents are tracking down people who knew Mr. Jones and might have an idea what might have happened to him Saturday night or Sunday morning that led to this homicide." said OSBI's Jessica Brown.
Hugo Police won't say much, except that Jones was shot, and finally fell down and died in this grass outside his cousin's house.
"I want justice to be served on him, if they ever find out who done it, I want him to take the consequence." said Jones' cousin, Alex Johnson.
"I'm feeling real bad, I just want them to find whoever done this, cause that was my oldest son and I loved him." said Jackson.

Quarterly Report
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's lead investigational therapy, Multikine® (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), is cleared for a Phase III clinical trial in advanced primary head and neck cancer. It has received a go-ahead by the US FDA as well as the Canadian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Israeli, Indian and Taiwanese regulators.
Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is the full name of this investigational therapy, which, for simplicity, is referred to in the remainder of this report as Multikine. Multikine is the trademark that the Company has registered for this investigational therapy, and this proprietary name is subject to FDA review in connection with the Company's future anticipated regulatory submission for approval. Multikine has not been licensed or approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. Neither has its safety or efficacy been established for any use.
The Company also owns and is developing a pre-clinical technology called LEAPS (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System).
All of the Company's projects are under development. As a result, the Company cannot predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its products.
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through the sale of equity securities, convertible notes, loans and certain research grants. The Company's expenses will likely exceed its revenues as it continues the development of Multikine and brings other drug candidates into clinical trials. Until such time as the Company becomes profitable, any or all of these financing vehicles or others may be utilized to assist the Company's capital requirements.
Capital raised by the Company has been expended primarily for patent applications, debt repayment, research and development, administrative costs, and the construction of the Company's laboratory facilities. The Company does not anticipate realizing significant revenues until it enters into licensing arrangements regarding its technology and know-how or until it receives regulatory approval to sell its products (which could take a number of years). As a result the Company has been dependent upon the proceeds from the sale of its securities to meet all of its liquidity and capital requirements and anticipates having to do so in the future.
The Company will be required to raise additional capital or find additional long-term financing in order to continue with its research efforts. The ability of the Company to complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the sale of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain. Ultimately, the Company must complete the development of its products, obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure. The Company believes that, counting its cash on hand and access to the capital markets established over the years, it will have enough capital to support its operations through year end. The Company is working on a number of collaborations that it believes will help the Company attract capital and interest from the financial community.
The Company estimates the total cash cost of the Phase III trial, with the exception of the parts that will be paid by its licensees, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Orient Europharma, to be approximately $36.7 million going forward. This is in addition to approximately $8.2 million which has been paid as of June 30, 2013. This estimate is based on information currently available in the Company's contracts with the Clinical Research Organization responsible for managing the Phase III trial. This number can be affected by the speed of enrollment, foreign currency exchange rates and many other factors, some of which cannot be foreseen today. It is therefore possible that the cost of the Phase III trial will be higher than currently estimated.
On April 23, 2013, the Company announced that it has replaced the clinical research organizations (CRO) running its Phase III clinical trial. This was necessary since the patient enrollment in the study dropped off substantially following a takeover of the CRO which caused most of the members of the CRO's study team to leave the CRO. The Company announced that it has hired two CRO's who will manage the global Phase III study; Aptiv Solutions and Ergomed who are both international leaders in managing oncology trials. Both CRO's will help the Company expand the trial by 60-80 clinical sites globally. As of April 2013, the last update given by the Company, the study has enrolled 117 patients and has been conducted at 39 sites in 8 countries, including three centers in Israel where the Company's partner, Teva Pharmaceuticals, has the marketing rights, and nine centers in Taiwan where the Company's partner, Orient Europhama, has the marketing rights.
Under a co-development agreement, Ergomed will contribute up to $10 million towards the study in the form of offering discounted clinical services in exchange for a single digit percentage of milestone and royalty payments, up to a specified maximum amount, only from sales of Multikine for head and neck cancer. Ergomed, a privately-held firm headquartered in Europe with global operations, has entered into five similar co-development agreements, including one with Genzyme (purchased by Sanofi in 2011 for over $20 billion). Ergomed will be responsible for the majority of the new patient enrollment since it has a novel model for clinical site management to accelerate patient recruitment and retention. For example, they have almost 25 physicians who can directly call on clinical sites to aid recruitment and retention. Some of the Ergomed physicians also have experience of being clinical investigators themselves. CEL-SCI believes that this interaction on a physician to physician level is what is needed to help physicians increase enrollment in the Multikine study.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company's cash decreased by approximately $500,000. Significant components of this decrease include net proceeds from the sale of the Company's stock of approximately $9,807,000 offset by net cash used to fund the Company's regular operations, including its on-going Phase III clinical trial, of approximately $10,142,000. This compares to approximately $8,920,000 used in operations during the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $118,000 and $122,000, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The use of cash in investing activities consisted of purchases of equipment and legal costs incurred in patent applications. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $9,803,000 and $12,004,000, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to proceeds of the December 2012 financing, which were approximately $10,500,000, less expenses of approximately $693,000, and offset by approximately $4,000 in capital lease payments. This compares to prior year financing activities which consisted of proceeds from the sale of Company stock and the exercise of warrants totaling approximately $16,954,000 offset by payments on convertible debt of $4,950,000.
In August 2011, the Company paid a deposit of $1,670,917 to the landlord since the Company's cash balances did not meet the minimum amount required by the lease. When the Company meets the minimum cash balance required by the lease, the deposit will be returned to the Company.
In October 2011, the Company sold 13,333,334 shares of its common stock to private investors for $4,000,000, or $0.30 per share. The investors also received 12,000,000 Series F warrants. Each Series F warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.40 per share at any time prior to October 6, 2014. The Company paid the placement agent for this offering a commission consisting of $140,000 in cash and 666,667 Series G warrants. Each Series G warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.40 per share at any time prior to August 12, 2014.
In January 2012, the Company sold 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to one private investor for $5,760,000 or $0.36 per share. The investor also received Series H warrants which entitled the investor to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Series H warrants may be exercised at any time after July 31, 2012 and prior to August 1, 2015 at a price of $0.50 per share. The Company paid the placement agent for this offering a cash commission of $403,200.
On December 4, 2012, the Company sold 35,000,000 shares of its common stock for $10,500,000, or $0.30 per share, in a registered direct offering. The investors in this offering also received Series R warrants which entitle the investors to purchase up to 26,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Series R warrants may be exercised at any time on or after June 7, 2013 and on or before December 7, 2016 at a price of $0.40 per share. The Company paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the placement agent for this offering, a cash commission of $682,500.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
During the nine months and three months ended June 30, 2013, grant and other income decreased by approximately $2,000 and increased by approximately $79,000, respectively, compared to the nine and three months ended June 30, 2012.
During the nine and three months ended June 30, 2013, research and development expenses increased by approximately $1,689,000 and $1,300,000 compared to the nine and three months ended June 30, 2012. The Company is continuing the Phase III clinical trial and research and development fluctuates based on the activity level of the clinical trial.
During the nine and three months ended June 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $275,000 and $109,000, respectively, compared to the nine and three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is primarily due to increased cost of employee options.
For the nine and three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a derivative gain of approximately $7,364,000 and $1,079,000 respectively. For the nine and three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a derivative gain of approximately $143,000 and $3,390,000 respectively. This variation was the result of the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities during the period which was caused by fluctuations in the share price of the Company's common stock.
Interest expense was approximately $128,000 and $43,000 for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2013 and consisted primarily of interest expense on the loan from the Company's president of $41,000 per quarter and interest on a capital lease. Interest expense was approximately $221,000 and $41,000 for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2012 and consisted of interest expense on the loan from the Company's president of approximately $124,000 and interest on the convertible notes of approximately $97,000.
Research and Development Expenses During the nine and three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company's research and development efforts involved Multikine and LEAPS. The table below shows the research and development expenses associated with each project. Nine months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30, 2013 2012 2013 2012 MULTIKINE $ 8,939,630 $ 7,212,524 $ 3,683,472 $ 2,367,751 L.E.A.P.S 269,270 307,062 86,066 101,415 TOTAL $ 9,208,900 $ 7,519,586 $ 3,769,538 $ 2,469,166
Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain regulatory approval of a new drug involve significant costs and require several years to complete. The extent of the Company's clinical trials and research programs are primarily based upon the amount of capital available to the Company and the extent to which the Company has received regulatory approvals for clinical trials. The inability of the Company to conduct clinical trials or research, whether due to a lack of capital or regulatory approval, will prevent the Company from completing the studies and research required to obtain regulatory approval for any products which the Company is developing. Without regulatory approval, the Company will be unable to sell any of its products. Since all of the Company's projects are under development, the Company cannot predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its products.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based on its unaudited condensed financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements is based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. The Company believes some of the more critical estimates and policies that affect its financial condition and results of operations are in the areas of operating leases and stock-based compensation. For more information regarding the Company's critical accounting estimates and policies, see Part II, Item 7 of the Company's 2012 10-K report. The application of these critical accounting policies and estimates has been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Pianist Jonathan Biss: Classical Music Can Be for Anyone
Audio above: Jonathan Biss talks about breaking down barriers between performers and audiences
Video above: Jonathan Biss talks Beethoven on PBS News Hour
This week is Week Four of pianist Jonathan Biss' Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) "Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas," offered through Coursera in conjunction with the Curtis Institute of Music. During the first three weeks of the course, I posted excerpts from a conversation I had with Biss about his obsession with Beethoven, Beethoven's place in culture today and the emotional power of Beethoven's music. In the audio excerpt above, Biss talks about his aim for teaching his MOOC on Beethoven's piano sonatas to 25,000 students from every possible background, musical or not: to remove the barrier that the stage can create between audiences and the performers and music they hear, and to eliminate the "intimidation factor" from classical music.
"The only condition you really need to appreciate music is openness to it," Biss said. "If you go into the experience of hearing a piece or hearing discussion of a piece … with your ears wide open and with a desire to go deeper into it, it doesn't matter all that much how much knowledge you have already. Classical music can be for anyone who is attracted to it."

Eskenazi Health Center and Local Community Team Up to Offer Free Health Screenings
When you bring your baby home, you may have questions and concerns about breastfeeding. Click below to view a few common questions and answers to help you during your first few days as a nursing mother.
There are ways to determine if your baby is eating enough.
1. Your baby eats every 1 to 3 hours during the day, and there is no longer than a 5 hour stretch of non-nursing during the night.
2. Diapers: One wet diaper within 24 hours of delivery. Two on the second day, Three on the third day. Three to four stools a day within the first month.
There should not be pain while breast feeding. Follow these few simple rules to fix the situation.
1. You'll be tender for about a week, but any soreness is generally due to improper positioning of your baby. Try moving the baby around, and if the pain continues, contact your lactation consultant.
2. Improper positioning of your baby, traumatic removal from the breast and excessively dry tissue can all cause cracked nipples. Try repositioning your baby, Make sure your breasts stay clean of the baby's saliva. Wear breast shells in your bra between feedings.
3. Block ducts feel like tender pea-sized bumps under your skin. They are caused by a wide variety of factors, but are easily treated. Feed frequently, take a warm shower, hand express or pump after feedings and position your baby so that his chin faces the blockage to maximize suction.
4. If the blocked duct does not resolve it's self, contact your physician immediately so it doesn't become infected.
5. Consult your lactation specialist for any questions or concerns that you have.

Chrome for iOS - Crashes on TheVerge.com
Chrome for iOS really hates TheVerge.com
And it's the only site that Chrome seems to hate. From my iPad, I've opened dozens of tabs, moved them around, reloaded them, etc, and it's fine.... until I open The Verge.
It appears to be a general problem with the site on Chrome for iOS. The mobile site works on the iPhone, but when requesting the Desktop version (iPad defaults to it), it crashes.
(Note: Does not happen in Safari)
Maybe it's a known issue?
I would like some people to test this for me.

I know, many of you will say "the season is not over" and then post some fine stats to back up your point. I'm just saying, this team is not smart and makes way too many mistakes to do anything this year.
Today we saw a very talented team with highly paid assistant coaches and pro bowl players all over the roster. They played a team that plays hungry and opportunistic. Guess what? The latter team won because that is today's NFL. The margin of error is way to small to A. Have a field goal kicker who misses and B. Make red zone turnovers and C. have special teams break down at the worst times.
I saw some great things today and the boys lost. This sentence sums up the current "window of opportunity" that the cowboys have had for the last few years. Ever since they dug themselves out of 5-11 purgatory, they have been a team that makes breathtaking plays and then shoot themselves in the foot over and over.
If they make the playoffs, they may win one game but there is no ring this year, no return to glory. Today was the day to make a statement and our team said the following "We will build your hope and then crap the bed at the worst possible time. Don't get too emotionally involved."
If you are like me, you are already involved and are really hurting right now. Maybe this post is just a defense mechanism because I am so tired of this team killing my buzz. Maybe we need a new coach.
The only answer I have is that the fine people of Arlington won't be hosting a home game this year in February.

Submitted by Immy, a 37 year old working mother, who is married with two chldren, 15 and 8 years old. In other words, she's just like me, change a few details, and maybe you identify, too. -- Robin)
Outside, a picture perfect day of bright sunshine and nature blossoming; inside, clouds of anger and frustration piling up and the struggle in my head begins.
It has been five days since my last drink and since I woke up with yet another guilty conscience for having drunk so much that I didn't remember what I said or did. It was my big sister's birthday and our brother was arriving after a year of not seeing him. That particular morning I did remember that I'd gotten angry for some reason and slammed the door as I went to bed, but I could not remember why, despite my attempts to lift the fog of my brain.
"I must stop doing this," I thought for the hundredth time. I felt lousy and embarrassed to face my family. I didn't ask them if I said anything or did anything hurtful and they didn't say. I still don't know.
That morning I told myself that this was the last time I did this to myself and to my family and friends.
I took a walk, sat by the sea and contemplated.
And it has been five days.
And the struggle has begun.
My sister is arriving this evening, with alcohol. A bottle of rum to make mojitos in the sun, and beer to enjoy. I fear that I will not be strong enough to say, "Thanks, but not for me this time." I fear the reaction and questions as to why, because I'm still not ready to say out loud, "I've stopped." I am trying to come up with a plausible reason for me not drinking.
Another struggle for next weekend, as the family is going to a family reunion, camping for two nights and the weather forecast screams for cold beer and white wine. I don't know how I will cope. I am so used to embracing every occasion available to pop a bottle and this is an occasion with a capital O.
I feel angry today because I am not in control.
I feel angry because I am thinking: It will be okay to have this drink with my sister and to enjoy the weekend with some wine. I will just stop drinking alone at home. I will only drink when there is an occasion to do so, at parties, with friends. It will be ok as long as I stop drinking on weekdays. Weekends only.
I feel sad that it has come to this and a part of me longs for the bottle. I feel a sense of loss when I think of an alcohol-free life. What about all those times I drank moderately, was able to stop and turn to water? I'm not so bad, am I? I can do this now. Right?? ....
If my husband buys a sixpack of beer, I usually finish it.
If we buy a three-liter box of wine, I finish it within days.
In the recent year I have finished all the vodka, gin, and liquor in the house that we owned for years and most of the cognac my husband got for his 40th birthday. I have used all the popular excuses in the book, saying, "Ironing is so boring I just have to have one beer with it." or "Cooking is so much more fun with a glass or two before dinner."
I am so scared that I will not be able to follow through this time, as I have failed before and always ended up convincing myself I do not have a problem, that I just have to cut down a little bit.... I am scared, frustrated and absent minded... all the time.

The mention of "green accounting" brings to mind an article a few years ago in Harvard Business Review titled "A Road Map for Natural Capitalism". It talks about the 'Biosphere 2' project, and how human effort to replicate nature's work of generating breathable air, potable water, and adequate food for just eight people failed within two years — despite the $200 million spent on it.
Now, based on this, one can easily imagine the cost of natural capital for the world's population. Yes, it will tend to infinity.
Are we really accounting for the depletion of natural resources? Are we measuring and accounting all kinds of wastes generated? Are we restoring sufficiently back to nature?
Let us examine these important environmental aspects through some facts and figures, as also the Indian experience in corporate accountability, and accounting for the environment — namely, Green accounting, or the lack of it.
The stakes involved
Our economy is, and will continue to be, heavily dependent on natural resources. According to "Energy Statistics 2012" published by the National Statistical Organisation, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, in 1970-71, India's electricity consumption was 43,724 GWh. In 2010-11 it stands at 607,760 GWh.
A joint study by the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning (CAEP) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India, highlighted another important statistic. The annual cost of economic losses and environmental damage in China in 2010 exceeded 1.2 trillion Yuan ($180 billion). In India, the estimated economic cost of environmental damage ranges from 3.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent of the country's economic output.
While considering the damage to the environment, it is important to note that both countries are home to 37 per cent of the global population, and account for 20 per cent of the world's energy consumption.
According to Rajendra K. Pachauri, Director General of TERI, air pollution, water contamination and solid wastes, as well as deforestation account for much of the environment damage in India. Laws such as the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and related enactments such as the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977; The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981; and The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 have had little or no effect. Globally, the issue of accounting for carbon footprint has gained importance. What about 'waste footprint' and 'water footprint'? There isn't enough work in the area of accounting and disclosure for these.
On this front, IBM has published 21 "Annual environmental reports" since 1990. The "2011 IBM and the Environment Report" states that the estimated environmental savings and cost-avoidance worldwide stood at $139.1 million. It also says that the company achieved ISO 14001 Standard on Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 50001 Standard on Energy Management Systems.
A recent study of select large corporates in India showed that 54 per cent do not report their environmental policies on the Internet or in their annual reports.
Green Audits in India
Currently, the CA Institute does not have an accounting standard for these environmental issues. However, it recently came out with the Guide on Environmental Audit, which provides a general overview of environmental auditing as an emerging area. Surely, this is an area filled with challenge and opportunities for chartered accountants.
On October 27, 2010, the Canadian Securities Administrators issued CSA Staff Notice 51-333, Environmental Reporting Guidance. This was a clear signal to corporates — effective disclosure on environmental matters is a mandate, not an option.
In India, everything (including the population) is growing at a rapid rate. But are we growing in the right direction?
It is worth recalling Mahatma Gandhi's words: "Small is beautiful", which reiterates the importance of making villages the foundation, and to stabilise and enrich the traditional way of life by using local resources. This philosophy is based on doing things small, because small is efficient, creative, enjoyable and enduring. Let us imbibe accountability by taking up Green accounting, as we are responsible to the generations to come.
Environmental audit is an area filled with challenge and opportunities for chartered accountants.

Re: PHP memory limit problem
31 January 2007 at 2:23pm Last edited: 31 January 2007 2:54pm
I tried to install SS on my development machine running Vertrigo WAMP and had simlar issues with a null memory limit. I tracked it down to the fact that PHP was compiled without --enable-memory-limit.
If you do choose to subvert the installation by editing the install.php file, then you should be fine as there will be no limit at all on the memory.
However, this is a security risk on shared servers as any Idiot can bring the server to it's knees with a recursive function.
Considering the fact that most/all Apache installations on windows are compiled without --enable-memory-limit since it is not supported on windows, I suggest the following patch:
function requireMemory($min, $recommended, $testDetails) {
$mem = $this->getPHPMemory();
if (!$mem) {
$testDetails[2] .= " You have PHP compiled without --enable-memory-limit";
} else {
if($mem < $min) {
$testDetails[2] .= " You only have " . ini_get("memory_limit") . " allocated";
} else if($mem < $recommended) {
$testDetails[2] .= " You only have " . ini_get("memory_limit") . " allocated";
to config-form.html:
<?php if($hasErrorOtherThanDatabase) { ?>

You aren't currently able to install the software. Please see below for details.

<?php } else { ?>
<?php if($req->hasWarnings()) { ?>

There are some issues that we recommend you look at before installing, however, you are still able to install the software. Please see below for details.

<?php } else if(!$dbReq->hasErrors()) { ?>

You're ready to install!

This has been fixed in our latest version (cheers Jagged, that's pretty much exactly what we did), due out shortly.
You will be able to install SilverStripe if you have between 20 MB and 32 MB of memory allocated, and also if we can't determine what the value of memory_limit is.

The Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher, who will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series Thursday at Bank One Ballpark against the St. Louis Cardinals, says he isn't.
The issue came up during the Game 1 broadcast when ESPN analyst Rick Sutcliffe suggested Randy Johnson was tipping his pitches. The Cardinals won, 12-2.
Watch Schilling. You know the Cardinals will. Jerry Colangelo, the Diamondbacks managing general partner, will. Colangelo told Ed Price of the East Valley Tribune that he recently had a chat with Schilling.
"I said, 'Curt, your body language is such that I don't see your swagger. We need your swagger back. We need you back. We need the confident Curt Schilling back,'" Colangelo told Price.
Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes that "Schilling will be hard-pressed to duplicate last year's National League Division Series when he established himself as a legend of the fall. He yielded just one run in two complete-game victories against the Cardinals. But St. Louis' lineup is actually now better without Mark McGwire, the middle of the order bolstered by the addition of (Scott) Rolen."
The Diamondbacks sound as if Thursday's game is a must-win. Schilling was 4-0 last postseason but in a 6-1 regular season loss to the Cardinals on Sept. 25, he gave up a pair of three-run homers.
Mark Gonzales of the Arizona Republic points out that even though the Diamondbacks beat Cardinals Game 2 starter Chuck Finley 4-2 on June 29, they did so with Luis Gonzalez, Craig Counsell and Jose Guillen. Gonzalez and Counsell are both sidelined with injuries while Guillen was released.
Columnist Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the Cardinals' Game 1 win "a cerebral triumph." Miklasz credits St. Louis' smart approach to scouting reports by manager Tony La Russa and hitting coach Mitchell Page.
"The Cardinals wouldn't chase Johnson's pitches out of the zone," Miklasz wrote. "They wouldn't nibble on his slider. Instead, they sat on his fastball, which had dipped in velocity, making it an attractive target.
"Later," Miklasz writes, "when Johnson began throwing more sliders, the Cardinals seemed to know it was coming. (They deny knowledge of Johnson's alleged tipping of pitches.) Whatever. They mugged Johnson's slider."
Arizona Republic columnist Dan Bickley writes that Schilling may be nicknamed "Red Light Curt" because he likes being the focus of television cameras but he's the man for the job Thursday.
Bickley says underneath Schilling's "glittering reputation as a dependable ace and big-game superstar lies a darker perception: A me-first guy who speaks with a bullhorn, grates on teammates and is constantly seeking the media platform.
"It is an image formed on truth, fiction and competitive jealousy," Bickley writes. "And there is something else that needs to be said, something never more poignant than now. If Schilling weren't so comfortable in the spotlight, if he didn't embrace the big moment as his moment to shine, the Diamondbacks would not be defending world champions."
In a feature on Finley, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes that "Mutual admiration exists between the the veteran pitcher and his new team. Finley only read about the injuries and tragedies that peaked June 22 with the death of Darryl Kile. When Finley arrived, he became part of a close-knit team made tighter by its ordeal."

CATEGORIES MoviesUsually reserved for ghosts, zombies, and monsters, the budding "found footage" sub-genre is given a twist with Chronicle, which merges the low-budget aesthetic (some might say "gimmick") with another super-popular genre: the superhero movie. Chronicle ostensibly records what happens to three teenagers after they stumble across a mysterious object in the woods, leading them to develop telekinetic abilities. But as their powers grow stronger, things start to spiral out of control when one of the teens begins to give in to his darker side. Given the earning power of movies like Paranormal Activity and audiences' never-ending appetite for more superheroes, it's a little surprising it's taken this long for some forward-thinking screenwriter to merge the two genres. But the bigger question is, how does the inventive mash-up compare to its forefathers? Billed as "Cloverfield meets X-Men," does Chronicle deliver the best of both worlds (a la Hannah Montana) or end up as less than the sum of its parts (like Cowboys & Aliens)? We do the math.
Chronicle vs. Cloverfield: Itself billed as "The Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla," the J.J. Abrams-produced monster movie officially reignited the found footage craze in 2008, as it followed a group of camera-wielding 20-somethings dodging a giant sea creature taking out its frustrations on Manhattan. Cloverfield's reason to press 'record'? Documenting a going-away party for their best bud Rob. Chronicle's? To protect the movie's timid young protagonist (Dane DeHaan) from his abusive, alcoholic dad. (Advantage, Chronicle.)
Cloverfield's Godzilla-lite monster regains the lead, though, compared to Chronicle, where the monster is essentially an emo teen gone bad (or man's eternal nature, depending on how much credit you want to give Max Landis' pseudo-philosophizing script). But while destroying Seattle instead of New York City may give Chronicle less easily-identifiable landmarks to tear through, it does get bonus points for originality.
Winner: Too close to call
Chronicle vs. Spider-Man: Both Chronicle and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man function as superhero origin stories, and both see former geeks transform into demi-gods. In Spider-Man, "with great power comes great responsibility" is the central theme; in Chronicle, it's "with great power comes great opportunity to pull pranks" -- at least until that ultimate power begins to corrupt Andrew, as it has for so many would-be superheroes before him.
But it's the source of that great power that gives Chronicle the edge. A radioactive spider versus a glowing subterranean (and presumably alien) crystal? It's no contest. And when Andrew uses his burgeoning telekinesis to de-limb a helpless spider, Chronicle sends a clear message: Peter Parker, watch out.
Winner: Chronicle
Chronicle vs. Paranormal Activity 2: Any found footage movie has one central problem it has to deal with: how do you keep up the pretense of POV filming without giving the audience motion sickness? Paranormal Activity 2 upped the ante and the camera angles from Oren Peli's original microbudget hit by using a home security system. Chronicle's solution is a little less elegant. Over the course of its 84 minutes, it cuts between multiple cameras: at first, it tries to justify this by introducing a romantic interest who's constantly filming "for her blog." Eventually, it gives up entirely for a finale that switches between bystander camera phones, news cameras, and closed-circuit security footage. Which is kind of a cop-out, considering all that earlier time spent constantly explaining away the camera. Besides, isn't the whole point of the found footage genre playing with the limitations imposed by acknowledging the camera?
Winner: Paranormal Activity 2
Chronicle vs. X-Men: First Class: How do Chronicle's cousins-turned-foes Andrew and Matt stack up against the superhero genre's most famous frenemies? Well, for one, both pairs differ on how to use their powers. Matt is perfectly happy playing football at 25,000 feet. Andrew, on the other hand, prefers crushing cars. And both set important ground rules that they argue over before the disagreement eventually causes the former friends to splinter. But it's their respective breaking points that make this one a no-brainer. Magneto switches to the dark side after being double-crossed by the people he swore to protect. Andrew? He throws up on a girl he likes at a party. Embarrassing? Sure. Worthy of a psychotic break? Maybe not.
Winner: X-Men: First Class
Chronicle vs. The Blair Witch Project: The movie that started it all, The Blair Witch Project played up its scares by going to great lengths to assert its supposed "found" nature: foregoing credits, scheduling a phony tie-in documentary, releasing falsified police reports. Chronicle doesn't really bother going to all that trouble, though it did create a viral stir recently, making a few New Yorkers do double-takes -- no easy feat -- by flying remote-controlled people-shaped airplanes over the city, a nod to the movie's airborne teenagers.
And while both sets of kids can be equally annoying behind the camera (and both repeatedly cry into it), we've got to give the slight advantage to Chronicle here. Both Blair Witch and Chronicle center around something mysterious happening to three kids out in the woods, but at least Chronicle gives us an actual payoff. Yes, even if that payoff comes in the form of kinda-cheesy CGI.
Winner: Chronicle
Final Tally: Chronicle's an interesting, if flawed, entry into the found footage genre, providing some clever twists on the tried-and-true superhero formula -- along with further proof that teenagers shouldn't be given superpowers. Or video cameras, for that matter.

New teachers are here and they are very sweet except for 2 but other than that, are school is awsome! It is very cool that no one gets bullied in this school so yeah!
I think it was the best time of my life and i miss all the teachers that helped me through everything
Test Scores are horrible, the hallways are filthy, and the staff are poorly trained.

text: Isn't it ironic that the criticism leveled at Frida Giannini season after season is because her clothing is TOO wearable? While it is true that if there was a prize for most-knocked-off it would go to her collection but isn't that a compliment of sorts? Gucci for S/S 09 entitled "Gucci Exotica,"incorporated all of the usual elements we have come to expect from Giannini, variations on the masculine-edged pant suit and fedora combination plus leather jackets. Last season's rich bohemian looks were eschewed in favor of more tailored safari looks complete with gold hardware and a series of caftans, both short and long in the diaphanous fabrics that are fast becoming this season's signature. All this and of course a new "it" bag, the "New Jackie" Like it or not, this is a collection positioned to sell.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- Frank Reed admits he was pretty worried when he saw only two pitchers on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball roster at the end of the fall season.
The dismissal of one player and a season-ending injury to another dropped cut the Lady Mocs' staff in half, leaving only fifth-year senior Michelle Fuzzard and true freshman Taylor Deason to toe the rubber.
"We went recruiting really hard in the winter, and actually thought we were going to be able to bring in a couple people there late," Reed recalled.
Turns out, Reed didn't need anyone else.
The Lady Mocs hit the road to UNC Greensboro this weekend hoping to wrap up yet another Southern Conference championship after winning 15 of their last 16 games.
And Deason is a big reason why.
The Clarksville, Tenn., native has an impressive 2.30 ERA and is the first SoCon pitcher to win 20 games in a season since former UTC ace Brooke Loudermilk did it as a freshman in 2007.
She seems to be saving her best for last, as well, after going 8-1 in the month of April to claim SoCon Pitcher of the Month honors.
"I came in expecting to work hard and put out the effort, and I've enjoyed it," Deason said. "(Having just two pitchers) was a lot to take in, but I was ready to pitch and I expected to win.
"Fuzz has been like a teacher to me, and especially a lot of the mental stuff she's taught me have helped me a lot this year."
Deason said simplifying that mental approach has helped alleviate some of the pressure that can come with stepping into the circle on the college level.
"If I just go out there and shut all the other stuff out and tell myself 'Go out there and pitch like you are 14,' it's fun," Deason said. "When we were 14 we weren't thinking about all the things that could possibly happen. You just go out there and have fun, and thinking like that has definitely helped me."
Deason is one of several UTC newcomers to step in and step up after the departure of six seniors from last year's record-breaking team.
The transition was certainly not easy, but she still found a way to handle it like a veteran well beyond her years.
"She could have gotten those big eyes and got scared, which does happen to a lot of freshman, but that never happened to her," Reed said. "She's got that attitude and personality where she's laid back a little bit.
"She can handle whatever is thrown at her and get up and try again the next day."

On September 28, we noticed a Time magazine story with some glaring errors. The caption alone managed to misspell and misuse the word "diaconate." As of this writing — October 11 — the spelling and other errors haven't been fixed. Reader joye commented on a thread a few days ago:
I can't believe that not even the spelling errors have been corrected in the previous Time story by Dawn Reiss. The caption on the photo still described Ms. Jacko as becoming "a deaconate".
I'm not a journalist and my views on the profession are rapidly approaching Kierkegaard's famous insult, but please, journalists, hear my cry and answer if you can.
Don't you guys CARE any more?
Reading a news article is increasingly akin to watching a movie where the zipper on the monster's back is fully visible, or a boom mike floats over the actors' heads. In B movies, this is because, as Mystery Science Theater 3000 famous put it, "They just didn't care!" But for such sloppiness to go uncorrected for two weeks in the most prominent newsmagazine in the US? Is that what your industry has sunk to?
I thought of that when another GetReligion reader sent along the caption to this NPR story about the rise of evangelicalism in Cuba. Except, well, this is the headline:
Cubans Flock To Evangelism To Fill Spiritual Vacuum
Clearly this doesn't sound right — but maybe the story is about Cubans evangelizing. Except once you get to the caption, you realize that the problem runs deeper:
Some 3,000 evangelical Christian Cubans attend an open-air service in Havana to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their public service in 1999. Evangelism is among the fastest-growing religions in communist — and formerly atheist — Cuba.
Right. Now, the story itself has a few holes, but it's clear that this is a copy editor or copy-editing problem. And certainly the industry struggles to hire editors who are both technologically savvy and literate. But, as the reader who submitted this notes, this is embarrassing. Evangelism is not a religion. Evangelicalism is a movement within Christianity and evangelism is the preaching of the Gospel of Christ.
It's been a few years since we shared this Christian Smith passage that was published in Books & Culture:
Often in our discussions, journalists refer to ordinary evangelical believers as "evangelists" — as if the roughly 70 million conservative Protestants in America were all traveling preachers like Billy Graham and Luis Palau — or, more to the point, televangelists like Jim Bakker and Jimmy [Swaggart]. Hey, aren't all evangelicals really pretty much like these last two, or rather as many reporters tend to see them — scandal-prone limelight seekers with ambitions to impose a repressive Christian moral order on all America? Other journalists simply cannot pronounce "evangelicals" at all. They get confused and flustered, and after a few uncomfortable tries at "evangelics" and "evangelicalists" they give up and resort to referring to evangelicals simply as "them." These are the knowledge-class professionals who are supposedly informing millions of readers about religion in America.
Would editors settle for this kind of work on other newsroom beats? Smith continues:
I find it hard to believe that political journalists call Washington think tanks and ask to talk with experts on background about the political strategies of the "Democrizer" or "Republication" parties, or about the most recent "Supremicist Court" ruling. Surely reporters covering business and markets do not call economists asking 45 minutes of elementary questions about how the business cycle works or what effect it has when the Fed drops interest rates. So why do so few journalists covering religion know religion?
Things really have improved in the last few years, at least when it comes to those who are regularly on the religion beat. But the problem persists among some, particularly those who aren't used to covering religion, those copyeditors who write captions and headlines.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Believe it or not, it may soon be time for you to grab your rake and start cleaning up the front yard.
Leaves have already started littering a few lawns and curbs here in Eau Claire. In past years we've typically seen fall colors in their full glory beginning in mid-September. But the DNR says this year's odd weather has some trees in western Wisconsin turning early. The amount of rain is one thing that can affect autumn leaf color.
"Because of the cool wet spring and early summer that we had, there were a lot of leaf diseases that came about. And now with the dry weather that we've gotten into, the trees are under water stress so they're starting to shut down, getting rid of excess leaves that they really don't need," said Todd Lanigan.
The DNR says that oak trees were hit the hardest by disease.
The best autumn colors come when there's been: a warm, wet spring, a summer that's not too hot or dry, and a fall with plenty of warm, sunny days and cool nights. Travelwisconsin.com offers a fall color report. It's an easy tool for you to track changes as the leaves start to turn. Click here to visit the website.

Healthy eating makes a healthy body & mindStudy and Learn to Plan a Healthier Diet -ACS distance education Course
This course teaches you how to develop a well balanced diet. Topics covered include how cooking and food processing affect nutrition, recommended nutrient intakes, assessing nutritional needs, planning a balanced diet, timing of meals, needs for special people/groups.
COURSE STRUCTUREThe course comprises 8 lessons, covering:
Building on the knowledge gained in Nutrition I, this course investigates in depth, the way in which we handle our food products and the effects on the nutritional value this has. The effects of storage, preservation, cutting, peeling and cooking on different nutrients is examined. Vitamin and mineral knowledge is enhanced and expanded. The course culminates in the examination of dietary intakes, both of the student and those they interview, determining nutrient deficiencies and excesses and relating them to physical symptomology.
Course Extracts
Preparation of Vegetables
Most vegetables are peeled or trimmed before cooking to remove the tough skin or outer leaves. However, the bulk of nutrients, tend to lie in the skin or close to the skin surface of most vegetables. Overzealous trimming can mean a huge reduction in a vegetable's nutrient value. Protein content may be reduced by around 10%, and even larger loss of fibre can also occur. Vitamin C and folate losses can be up to 25%. Small amounts of trace minerals are also lost. When vegetables are then boiled, nutrient loss can be very high, not only for the very fragile vitamin C (up to 90% can be lost) but also calcium, fibre, folate (up to 50% loss) as well as trace minerals (10-20% losses for some). In tomatoes, peeling and then boiling can result in complete loss of folate and vitamin C.Losing nutrients through cooking
Some vitamins dissolve (solubilise) in water, so you lose your vitamins to the cooking water if you prefer to boil your vegetables. Alternative cooking methods such as grilling, roasting, steaming, stir-frying or microwaving generally preserve a greater amount of vitamins and other nutrients. Keeping the temperature of the food below 100C will help in retaining B group vitamins.
The Benefits of Cooking Food
It would be inaccurate to say that cooking food always lessens the nutrient value. Cooking can be advantageous in many ways, including:
· Making the food tastier.
· Breaking down parts of vegetables that would otherwise be indigestible.
· Destroying bacteria or other harmful micro-organisms.
· Making phytochemicals more available; for instance, phytochemicals are more available in cooked tomatoes than in raw tomatoes.
· Breaking down toxins that would otherwise make a food toxic
· Removing environmental pollutants
Preserving the Nutrient Value of Foods
Some suggestions to retain the maximum nutrition in the foods you cook include:
· Store foods properly, such as keeping cold foods cold and sealing foods in airtight containers.
· Keep vegetables in the crisper section of the refrigerator.
· Try washing or scrubbing vegetables rather than peeling them.
· Use the outer leaves of vegetables like cabbage or lettuce unless they are wilted or unpalatable.
· Microwave, steam, roast or grill vegetables rather than boiling them.
· If you boil your vegetables, save the nutrient-laden water for soup stock.
· Use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
· Cook foods quickly.
All of the water soluble vitamins are readily excreted from the body in the urine, except vitamins B6 and B12. So, unlike the fat soluble vitamins, there is little to no store of the water soluble vitamins. This makes regular daily intake very important and is also the reason why hypervitaminosis is rare with the water soluble vitamins, but hypovitaminosis is common. It is also harder to get a good intake of the water soluble vitamins as they readily leech out of foods and into cooking liquids, and they are generally more fragile (heat labile, degraded in light/air) than fat soluble vitamins.
The liver stores vitamins in the body. Damage to the liver therefore compromises the body's ability to maintain fat soluble vitamin, B6 and B12 stores. Conversely, excess consumption of vitamins or minerals can result in toxic build up in the liver which compromises liver function and can cause physical damage to the liver cells and tissue. This then further compromises the ability of the body to store and manage nutrients.
Heavy consumption of alcohol taxes the liver. This is because the liver is the organ that metabolises all the alcohol we consume. Damage to the liver due to alcoholism can impair the storage ability for fat soluble vitamins. It can also deplete vitamin B, necessitating higher intake. Vitamin C intake should also be increased because of the antioxidant function it has. Because alcohol impairs fat absorption, vitamins A, D, E and K are not efficiently absorbed from foods ingested while drinking.
Vitamins B2, B12 and K can all be produced in small quantities by the bacteria that colonise the human bowel. People who have any sort of bowel condition, particularly those that deplete bacterial populations (chronic antibiotic treatment has this effect) will need to increase their intake of B2, B12 and vitamin K to compensate.
There is a lot of research and hype within the health industry about the role of vitamins in cancer and their use to prevent or treat cancer. While there are some findings of interest, in general, the best course of action is simply to maintain a healthy, balanced diet.
In so doing, vitamin levels will be optimal, deficiency and toxicity which may link to disease will be avoided and you have the best chance of avoiding, or recovering better from disease. A single vitamin supplement on its own will not cure a cancer, nor prevent a specific type of cancer from occurring. However, adequate intake of vitamins can reduce risk of certain cancers and diseases.
Some evidence exists for the following (by no means conclusive in most cases)
· Excess retinol - Osteoporosis, birth defects, liver anomalies
· Excess beta carotene - Worsening of lung cancers, may increase risk of cancer in smokers
· Deficient Vitamin D - Well established that this results in Rickett's in children, osteomalacia. Possibly increases risk of osteoporosis
· High Vitamin D - Reduced risk of cancer, particularly colon
· High Vitamin E - Appears to be cardio-protective, may reduce risk of some cancers (prostate, colon, breast) due to antioxidant action
· Deficient Vitamin B6 - May increase risk of neurologic conditions including Parkinson's disease
· High Vitamin B6 - May be cardio-protective
· High Vitamin B12 - May be cardio-protective
· High Vitamin C - May reduce risk of some cancers, and stroke. May also be cardio-protective. Most effects attributed to its antioxidant function.

Coined by Tom Pinchuk, tricky refers to content that sexualizes minors or characters with the appearance of minors. Generally, these characters have a physical appearance that puts them noticeably under the legal age of consent (17) in the United States.
With varying ages of consent across Japan, with the national minimum being 13, what passes as an acceptable age for sexual objectification of characters may be considerably younger than what many foreigners are accustomed to. Tricky refers to these instances of sexualized depictions of minors.
Jailbait generally refers to characters or persons who have not reached the age of consent but have a physical appearance that makes them indistinguishable from an adult. Tricky differs from jailbait in that the characters do not have the physical appearance of an adult and their age relative to the age of consent in undeniably lower, generally from elementary school age to freshmen in high school.
The term was coined by Anime Vice staffer Tom Pinchuk during his review of Dance in the Vampire Bund, a series where the lead character is depicted as a pubescent female and often placed in erotic and/or sexual situations. Rather than use a term like icky, which could be considered offensive to the creators and fans of the series, Tom coined the phrase tricky to describe these situations.

Shane Abbess to Direct Source Code
Australian director Shane Abbess' debut film, the noirish gothic fantasy "Gabriel" must have made quite an impression, because Hollywood has taken notice and now Shane Abbess (pictured, left) is scheduled to direct a new sci-fi thriller called "Source Code" for big boy movie studio Universal. Abbess' "Gabriel" was made for $200,000, but has already made over $1.2 million so far in its Native Australia, and now Screen Gems has bought the film for U.S. distribution.
More about "Source Code" from Variety:
"Source Code," a time continuum story, was written by Ben Ripley and once had Topher Grace to star. Regardless of the budget, which has yet to be set, it's sure to trump Abbess' "Gabriel" outlay, which he raised himself.
Mark Gordon and Lawrence Inglee will produce "Source Code."

I've often said that what I really want for a gift is for my team to win on my birthday. Since it's in mid-October, that hope has always been imbued with extra meaning, and of course, has rarely even been a possibility. This year, thanks to the A's, it's going to happen.
I was afraid they'd schedule this game for daytime (after calling in with "NineInning-gitis" last week, I was loath to take another day off work), but I saw during the Mets/Dodgers game it would be Tuesday at 5pm. Hallelujah!
Out of superstition I'd better not tell you what I'll be wishing for but my promise to you all is that I will be sure to blow out ALL forty five of the candles on my birthday cake.

On tap, Michigan Summer Beerfest 2013. Couldn't pass up on this one, as I have no idea when I'd be able to cross paths with it again. Deep, murky brown, nearly black, and completely muddled and opaque. The tan head is slow to rise, and keeps forming even after I've been handed the glass. It's comprised of thin, micro-bubbles and lasts for the entire glass, leaving a few spots of lacing as the beer empties.
What an immensely powerful and potent aroma! But what else should you expect from a 17.5% ABV barleywine? Malty like a mofo; plentiful bouts of sticky sweet caramel, warm booze, sweet dark fruits like figs, prunes, and juicy raisins, molasses and some more brown sugar. Anything you can think of that has sugar in it, just toss it in there. The bottom line is: this bitch is gon' be sweet as hell, no doubt about it.
And yeah, no surprise that as I take the first sip, I can literally hear my dentist hootin' and hollerin'. He knows that now he'll be able to afford those jet-skis, all because Anthony had some Monster 29. Sweet molasses, melted and slightly burnt brown sugar, syrupy sweet and just oozing with sugary goodness from every molecule and every atom. Dark fruits, and even a bit of cocoa nibs and a light dash of cocoa powder; some sort of chocolate, anyway.
The heavy maltiness and touch of vanilla-esque and brown sugar-y notes create an interesting and tasty creme brulee-like finish. Despite the sickening sweetness of this beer, it wasn't hard to finish, and was actually damn tasty - though a 4 oz pour is pretty much perfect. Any more than that might be a challenge. Even with the sticky nature of the beer, the mouth feel is surprisingly creamy and silky and smooth; heavy and huge with low carbonation.
Wow, this was a really good and really enjoyable beer. I'm not the biggest fan of barleywines out there, but there's been quite a few that I've enjoyed recently, and this one is pretty damn tasty. It's certainly a beer you wanna have in small doses, as it can easily get cloying and overly-sweet. A few ounces of this followed by a three-hour nap sounds like a good Saturday night to me.

Thanks for the pour, womencantsail!
A menacing beer: very dark brown, near black, that looks heavy and viscous, especially for the style. This leaves the glass oily. Appropriately scary.
About as good of an aroma as I've found in a (non barrel-aged) barleywine: big, expressive notes of burnt sugars/dark caramels, some chocolate, earth, a bit of hop character even, and some pie crust.
A very sweet barleywine, with big notes of caramels, chocolate, toffee, along with earth, and cinnamon raisin bagel. The alcohol is very well hidden for how monstrous this is.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, and just a bit oily. Scary drinkability.
I went in apprehensive, and left pleasantly surprised, if not a little tipsy.

12oz bottle from the 4Elf party into a snifter.
A: Pours a blackish body, looks like a stout. Light tan head.
S: Figgy, mild dark chocolate, dates and raisins, some mild dark fruit-like oxidation character. Rich and pleasant.
T: Intense raisiny sweetness, sherry-like, vanilla, light roasted malt and dark chocolate, cinnamon.
M: Thick-bodied, light carbonation, a bit syrupy.
O: I liked this beer after sitting down with it for a few hours. The "13 malts and 10 fermentable sugars" make it a bit too sweet, but this is miles ahead of many other barleywines in the same ABV range in terms of complexity and body, and the alcohol is very well-hidden. I'm curious as to how it compares to the barrel-aged version.

Thanks to Nate for picking me up a bottle from the most recent 4 Elves Party at Dark Horse!
poured into a tulip glass.
vintage 2012. bottle number 711 of 888. batch number 3406.
Appearance: Very dark brown almost black bodied beer with a thick cap of light khaki head. The cap stays around for a while, then slowely drops to a ring. Decent lacing on the glass. This beer definately stains the glass.
Smell: a sweeter nose dominates this beer. First detected smell was bitter cocoa and black licorice. Then the dark fruit notes mostly dates and fig notes. Followed by more sweetness like maple, brown sugar, and molasses. I get a touch of spiciness that reminds me alot of cinnamon. Astrigent booze note and a hint of pine and grapefruit hops on the backend of the nose.
Taste: Yeah, it pretty sweet just like the nose. A truck load of raisins and prunes. Brown sugar, molasses, a touch of smoke, caramels, milk chocolates, and toffee. Leathery and molasses notes in the middle. You get just a hint of earthy hops in the backend of the beer, the beers malt profile is just so big... that the hops are fairely muted. Finishes with even more raisins and prunes. Nice complex big and bold beer!
Mouthfeel: Full bodied beer with low carbonation levels. Creamy, silky, oily, rich, and coats the entire surface area of your mouth. You can just tell this beer is huge... just a massive beer. I honestly think that this beer has a way thicker mouthfeel than Dark Lord. TRUE STORY! And where the heck is the 17% abv? I honestly get no booze from this beer. This is insane!
Overall: It honestly reminds me of a DFH World Wide Stout with a little influence of an American Barleywine, Old Ale, and a Quad all rolled into one beer. This is a really nice beer and I was really glad to try it out. Just cant believe how easy this drinks for 17% abv. Honestly speakless about this fact. I easily drank the entire 12oz bottle myself. Probably my favorite Dark Horse beer that i have drank to date!

Thanks to adamdd for sending me a growler of this. It was greatly enjoyed by several consumers yesterday evening. Amazing, enormous barleywine. Probably my favorite non-barrel-aged barleywine I've had. Pours an opague dark brown with plenty of carbonation in spite of the growler being filled several days prior and shipped from Michigan to Denver. Smells and tastes of burnt toffee (which is what I found to make this beer so great), brown sugar, various dried fruits, and is far less boozy than the 20% ABV would suggest. Body is one of the thickest I've experienced - thick, almost syrupy. You could make a Monster29 sunday with this. Overall, outstanding. I really hope for the chance to try this again, as well as any barrel-aged version that may be released. Thanks again Adam!

I arrived in Boston last night to attend a higher education seminar coordinated by the Education Writers Association, a national group aimed at giving education journalists the best resources possible for their reporting.
This is my third EWA event.
The first panel at today's seminar focuses on the changing face of college students as minority enrollment continues to rise.
Last Sunday, I wrote a story about the rising Hispanic student enrollment at colleges everywhere but more specifically at the University of Houston-Victoria.
In the last five years, thanks to a growing population and downward-expansion, UHV's Hispanic student enrollment has risen by 89 percent. Nationwide that number is about 52 percent.
When EWA staffer Mikhail Z. sent me a Google chat message about there being some scholarship spots open at this seminar, I jumped at the opportunity to learn about the minority enrollment trend nationwide.
Here's a link to the schedule.
Got any questions for the pros? Tweet them to me at @carolinastrain with the hashtag #EWAHiEd and I'll do my best to get those answers.
We started the morning at Northeastern University with a tour of the campus, during which I took some photos and notes I'll drop into a blog post later for students and parents curious about the school.

GREENSBURG – A small class of Dairy Show contestants showcased their best animals and made their respective bids for Thursday's Tom Swain contest Wednesday morning.
When the show had ended, Kayleigh Krieger took the Grand Champion prize in the Expert Showmanship category, closely followed by Kayanna Wolter as the Reserve Champion. Both young women earned the opportunity to be part of the prestigious 4-H animal showmanship event Thursday evening.
Judge Marla Stone, a veteran of such competitions for more than two decades, routinely complimented the group of hard-working 4-H'ers who managed to move animals far larger than they about the arena, often making it look effortless.
The summer heat, however, did its part to make a few of the animals a tad testy Wednesday morning.
Ryan Crosby's prize winning Holstein, "Arlene," defiantly mooed and occasionally refused to budge during the Intermediate Showmanship portion of the show. Arlene and Ryan, however, had previously earned trophies for Grand Champion Dairy Cow and Champion Senior Cow, perhaps allowing her a bit of diva-like behavior late in the competition.
Arlene also had the customary honor of being milked after the show by Miss Decatur County Ericka Carman, 4-H Queen Kayanna Wolter and 4-H King Andrew Martin. Arlene was "warmed up" by Brenda Crosby, a previous Tom Swain contestant and 10-year 4-H member.
In the individual showmanship categories, Nick Nobbe placed ahead of competitor Austin Crosby at the beginner level. Nick elected to move on to the intermediate category, challenging Ryan Crosby and Stephanie Nobbe. Stephanie took the top spot there and faced Kenzie Krieger and Nathan Nobbe in the senior category.
Finally, Kenzie earned a first place finish in the senior showmanship category and faced off against eventual winner Kayleigh Krieger, runner-up Kayanna Wolter, Neal Nobbe and 10-year member and previous Tom Swain competitor Laura Crosby.
