- 5 Stars for Five - OOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014The best food I have ever eaten can be found at this wonderful gem of a restaurant. If you go you must try the Truffled Lobster en Croute. It is absolutely fabulous. The ambiance is very romantic. Service is professional and courteous. I loved this place and can't wait to go back when we vacation in Ogunquit again next year.Special Features:
- Glad we wentLilyVIPDined on 8/27/2014Five-0 is always on our short list of dining options when we are in Ogunquit, but we haven't been in a few years. We were glad that we went this year. Food was very tasty overall. Almost passed on the lobster because of the quinoa but it worked and was delicious unlike the yellowfin which the bok Choy/turnip mix was an odd combo and not as successful in our opinion. We loved our apps and the dessert sampler with tiny renditions of their offerings. Great when you just want a little something sweet to finish. Service spot on. We'll be back!I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timers!DelishDined on 8/26/2014We thoroughly enjoyed the selection of food and drinks Five-O offers! The food was fresh and top quality. A great place for both, foodies or any one willing to step out of the box and try an all around decadent meal! We were also pleased with the standout service by our server, Sammy. She was knowledgable and gave us spot on recommendations throughout the entire evening. We are already talking about our next visit to Ogonquit, and Five-O is at the top of the list! Thank you for a very enjoyable evening!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Marvelous!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/25/2014Delicious all around! Love the tapas, crudo, oysters, cheeses, mushroom ragout: outstanding. The cod cakes are still a little dense. We ordered the chicken (melt in our mouths) & lobster en croute this time, much too much truffle oil (a little goes a long way) to give the full 5 stars. The cocktails were cold & fresh, so good! Thank you for the delightful window table this time. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/24/2014We were in Ogunquit for vacation and ate at several places but the Five-O was by far our favorite!! Food was absolutely excellent. I recommend the Bolognese. Outstanding!!Special Features:
- A dinner mustNeezoDined on 8/22/2014I have been going back to Five-O for the past five years while enjoying girls weekend away. Every meal has been sensational and the warm olives are outstanding!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything the reviews say it is!LuvgoodfoodDined on 8/22/2014Very welcoming and friendly staff. The food was everything the reviews say! We had the small plates to start. The mushroom and leek ragu was delicious as was the fried oysters and artichoke aranicini. For entrees we had the tuna and chicken. Both were seasoned and cooked to perfection. For desert we had the blueberry Tar c homemade ice cream was the perfect end to a wonderful dinner. Excellent wine listSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely dinnerFoodiefromVTDined on 8/21/2014Lovely romantic meal, food was great to outstanding, attentive staff. Would highly recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014food was tasty - acoustics horrible! couldn't hear each other speak - waited in a line of 5 women for bathroom - bathroom was like a gas station bathroom- too many tables too close together - tough to walk past needed to turn sideways -gnocchi was excellent - grass fed tenderloin was too rare - asked for medium
- Wonderful restaurantJPFPharmDDined on 8/20/2014Picked this place based on other reviews on yelp. Got what was expected... good food, good service, and perfect for date night to the playhouse. We were there 2 hours before the show with a reservation. Ample seating available at 6 PM on a Saturday where no reservation seemed to be needed. Servers were VERY attentive. Food service was perfect with the exception of dessert. The kitchen must have been RIDICULOUSLY backed up. We specifically decided NOT to order the dessert stating requires 10 min to cook, and it still to 25 min a mediocre dessert. Overall, I would definitely recommend five 0 for dinner. We ordered the 3 piece app ( chicken pate, fried pickles and a cheese). We ordered the gnocchi and spicy lobster pasta. Both were A+Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Five-OOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/18/2014We have dined here yearly on our August vacation and are usually quite impressed, but this time less so. Some of the apps/small plates were excellent, entrees were just okay. There were huge gaps between courses without check-in from the waitress for drinks. I would give it another chance.Special Features:
- ZosterDined on 8/18/2014Right from the start the service was terrific. The hostess gave us a really nice table. The waitress seemed to anticipate our needs. The pace was relaxed despite a crowd waiting. I had the special and it was one of the best meals I have eaten in years!Special Features:
- Very Disappointed!LoveMaineDined on 8/18/2014I made reservations in early July for August and asked for a table with a view because it's my husband's birthday. When my husband and I were seated we DID in fact get a table with a view. A VIEW of the kitchen even though there were tables up front by the window. Twice staff coming out of the kitchen bumped into the menus on the table, once splashing my drink onto my bread plate. Our waitress finally took our order 35 minutes after we were seated although it wasnt her fault because she had 5 tables seated within a few minutes of each other.She came rushing by on her way into the kitchen asking how the chowder was but didnt even pause for our answer. Next year we will go back to Angellinas for the great food, service, and warm atmosphere
- Fantastic!YummymommyDined on 8/16/2014One of the best dining experiences I have ever had! Amazing food and fantastic service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good eats!luv2dineDined on 8/16/2014We only had 2 nites in Ogunquid, Me. Friday and Saturday. Glad we made reservations a few days ahead. The food was terrific here. The Olive oil and Orange Cake was stellar! I also liked the tappas style appetizers as it gives a chance to sample a few interesting things.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Ogunquit GemAAH80Dined on 8/15/2014From Apps to Entree's really solid food. Waitress was knowledgeable and on point. We will return in the futureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- "Book'em, Danno"eatgoodDined on 8/15/2014A very nice dining experience. Excellent menu variety. Outstanding food. Tough call between "Gulf of Maine" and "Maine Lobster" entrees. Wanted both. Chose latter. Yum. Attentive but not fawning service. Crying infants and shrieking very young children detracted from the ambiance. Would return in a heartbeat for the food. Place diners with infants and small kids in a separate room to foster better ambiance in the main dining room?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently greatMarkdvtDined on 8/14/2014Five-O has become one of our standards over the past few years when visiting Ogunquit. The menu stays fresh and creative. We have been lucky enough to have the same great server for the past 3 years and now we just say "feed us". We pick the wine from a respectable list and she brings the food. They are great about splitting plates so we can sample as many things as possible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014Amazing food and lovely staff. It was the perfect last night to a beautiful holiday in Ogunquit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never to returnrobbielouDined on 8/14/2014We've walked by 5-0 on many trips to Ogunquit and finally decided to try it. It was memorable only for its shortcomings - bartenders were pretentious and snotty with no reason to be other than being "full of themselves". The cocktail list was humdrum. We were seated in the dining room right next to a really loud table with several rambunctious teenagers. The service was unspeakably poor. Appetizers appeared before bread (which finally showed up just about the time that entrees arrived). The only good thing about the meal was making the decision not to linger over dessert. If I'm spending that kind of money - I want what I want, good food, good service and pleasant atmosphere. There should be a noise level rating of obnoxiously loud.
- Still the best in OgunquitCTFoodiesDined on 8/14/2014We have a summer home on a lake in Maine and every year, when we put away the charcoal grill and lobster bibs, we make a pilgrimage to Five-O. The food and service are excellent and we love the charm of Ogunquit. This year was no exception. For starters, the young greens salad and pasta bolognese were both spectacular. Our entrees, roasted chicken and the cod special, and the dessert sampler were all excellent. We will be back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerMrsRDined on 8/13/2014You can't go wrong here. I would have rated Five - O a 4.5 if possible. We arrived an hour early so we could sit in the bar and have a cocktail before dinner. We decided to order appetizers. The warm on lives as well as the mushroom ragout were delicious. We were promptly seated a few minutes before the reservation time. My husband and I ordered pasta dishes and we each loved what we ordered. The blueberry filled pastry with blueberry sorbet for dessert was delish! Our server was very good. The only area of improvement in our opinion is the wine list. We didn't feel there was a great selection.Special Features:
- Just OKdiner10Dined on 8/12/2014I was a little disappointed overall with my experience at 5-0. The food wasn't anything extraordinary and the service left a lot to be desired. We waited quite a while for the waitress to even come to the table (I had to ask someone else if we could get drinks.) She didn't seem particularly interested in serving us - for example, as soon as I gave my dinner order she turned away, never asking if I wanted anything else (which I did - I also ordered a salad.) The noise level was surprisingly high so it is not an intimate place. All in all it wasn't horrible, but I won't go back nor will I recommend it.
- Terrible ExperiencenothappyDined on 8/9/2014I'm not one to write reviews, I have worked in several restaurants in the past, and understand a busy Sat night at a restuarant. This had to have been one of the worst dining experiences of my life, and I have eaten here before. The bartender was rude when we ordered our drinks. We were seated 20 min late for our reservation I made weeks ago. The service was so slow, made us wait for drinks and bread. The lobster was ok but not worth the price, the manager said it was 1 1/2 lb lobster, it was just the tail and it was just ok- so NOT worth $40. The steak was ok, over seasoned with salt. Mussels appetizer again unappealing, small mussels. Salad was standard. The manager was rude at the end of our meal when we told him about our experience
- McjcVIPDined on 8/9/2014The food was excellent as always. Unfortunately, the noise level was unbearable and made conversation impossible.Special Features:
- When in Ogunquit you MUST eat here!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/3/2014We LOVE Five-O! We ate here nearly a year ago solely based on Open Table recommendations. When in Ogunquit again, we planned a return and this meal was outstanding too. The warm olives from the small plate selections are an absolute favorite....loaded with garlic and deliciousness. My husband had a magnificent heirloom tomato and burrata salad which he felt was worthy of ascension to heaven. I had a delicious, creamy smooth vichyssoise. My entree was a fabulous cod while hubby had tagliatelle with bolognese. Dessert was an ethereal cheesecake and coffee. Our server, Sammy, was the best and the whole experience was a delight. Our only complaint is that Five-0 isn't closer to where we live.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful find in Ogunquitjmkeller02Dined on 8/2/2014Excellent spot for dinner! Great food and attentive service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious lobsterWsb112711Dined on 8/1/2014The libster and quinua was delicious, but the server was slowly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful service!katie1Dined on 8/1/2014Right on time with our reservation, we were shown to corner table by a window as we previously requested. Our waitress was exceptional, personable and knowledgeable - assisted us with our wine selection and even helped with a small stain on a white shirt…. We ordered homemade pasta with meat sauce - superb; less successful was the branzini - too thin and slightly overcooked (blackened), I had some suspicion about the absolute freshness of the fish, but it wasn't awful. Excellent pineapple martinis - cool and refreshing, not overly sweet. Parking was a problem, the lot was full and we had to drive around for an available space nearby. We felt that if there is valet parking offered, it should be adequate for the restaurant capacity...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mimi63Dined on 8/1/2014Drinks were phenomenal!! Small plates were tasty, interesting. Dessert was to die for! Entrees were lacking taste and over- priced for what we received. Unflavored and uninspired. Pretentious that salt and pepper were not on the table and the entrees certainly could have used them.Special Features:
- A family favorite !Mot5luvDined on 7/29/2014We always dine at The Five-0 when we visit Ogunquit! It has become a family tradition. Food and service always an A+.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experience.chefangeDined on 7/28/2014We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner. The food and service were great. Everything was properly seasoned. The only thing we didn't love was the blueberry crostada that was on our dessert sampler. (it was a little dense) Stacey was very knowledgeable on the menu and provided great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelySweettooth32Dined on 7/26/2014The food was excellent. Had the Arancini and lobster - delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- creative regional diningBostonChloeDined on 7/22/2014Great dining experience. Local ingredients and off the boat fish prepared in a creative and interesting way. Small plates for sampling as well as appetizers, entries and desserts. Knowledgeable and friendly wait staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly suprisedLucron03Dined on 7/22/2014We went to eat for our 8th wedding anniversary and had a very good experience from the time we arrived till the time we left, our server was very attentive to all of our needs and was very good with her timing. I am not sure her name, we ate on July 22 at 6:30pm. we sat in the back of the room on a corner bench which was nice and romantic for the occasion. The food was very good. The only small complaint was that my Pork Chop was not what I had expected. I was expecting a thick cut and it came out very thin. I ordered it Medium and because of the thickness it came out a bit dry. Over all a very good experience and we will return.Special Features:
- Solid Askiwcdh1Dined on 7/22/2014We used to frequent 5-O a few years ago and we returned for a nice night out a few days ago. Happily not much has changed. Good food and good service are the standard here. Valet parking makes parking easy too.Special Features:
- Had a good timevkhkugarDined on 7/21/2014After driving by Five-O a number of times, we wife and I decided to choose this restaurant for our 7th anniversary while vacationing in Ogunquit. We really loved the atmosphere both inside and out. If it was a little warmer, we probably would've sat outside but we ended up in the dining room which was still nice. We ordered the chowder and muscles for appetizers. The latter was great. Chowder was just okay. My main was a mackerel dish which was just okay. I was expecting a little more based on the description I was provided. My wife had a vegetable dish that had risotto with it, which was also okay. By far the best part of the meal were the muscles. If I were to go back to this restaurant, I'd certainly order another dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor serviceLuvtoeatDined on 7/21/2014Although we had several staff members give us water more than once, our waitress did not appear for at least 20 minutes after being seated. After that, service was poor even though we felt compelled to order everything at once.
- Doesn't get much betterilikefoodVIPDined on 7/21/2014Have dined at Five-0 many times and this was the first time this summer. We usually go to their amazing wine dinners held throughout the off-season from September to early June. Our party of four was promptly seated at a table by the wall of windows. We shared some small plates of cheese, arancini and warmed olives while deciding what to order. I had the mussels as an app and roasted chicken for dinner. The mussels were in an artichoke broth and came with two generous slices of grilled bread, ideal for broth dipping. delicious!. The succulent chicken was over grilled asparagus and creamy mushroom risotto. The balance was perfect. Too full for dessert but those looked wonderful. Our server, Nick was attentive and well versed on the menu.Special Features:

Love: The Bond Of Unity presents, in devotional style, a personal yet universal response to a remarkable trip made by a group of very ordinary people.
It is personal in that it reflects the inner thoughts and soul-searchings encountered by the one; it is universal in that these responses are human responses to God-in-us, felt by many in similar circumstances.
In this book you can join our team as we travel to this distant land, intimately touched by the living God along the way. Proceeds will go to the Ethiopia Initiative at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church.

The Green Bay Packers have embraced Movember. Little swaths of lip hair perfectly punctuate the green and gold uniforms. America's team has embraced America's favorite style of facial hair, the mustache. Aaron Rodgers' soup strainer has received the bulk of the attention, but head coach Mike McCarthy has his own mustache to brag about this month.
I know what you're thinking, what if we mixed the two, the coach and the quarterback? Well, we're a step ahead of you.

In just a few days many of us will warm up our ovens to prepare our Christmas meal, but for some people the holidays mean hard times. And that's where the South Plains Food Bank comes in.
There are many ways to say Merry Christmas, but saying it with actions instead of words requires a little more work. Take a look at how Lubbock volunteers are helping others enjoy the holidays. South Plains Food Bank volunteers braved a cold morning distributing baskets of food and a bit of holiday cheer.
"Today we began our Christmas distribution of all the food boxes and other items that people have given us. The people that are coming by today have been screened by churches and social service agencies here in Lubbock and have been given a voucher and they're coming by and picking up the food boxes that we have," said Executive Director David Weaver.
More than 150 volunteers from various groups are donating their time and energy to load cars with turkey's, hams, and all the trimmings for needy families this holiday season. "We have a large group from First United Methodist Church here. We have Boy Scouts, people from McDougal Properties that are here. There is a group from Levelland that is here today," says Weaver.
For the food bank suppling goods to everyone is an everyday job, but Weaver says the holidays make it even more important. "The needs of the hungry are with us throughout the year but I think they're particularly poignant at the holiday season. We think about friends and family. If Lubbock had not come together these people would be doing without, and I think it makes a tremendous statement to these people that only are we feeding their stomachs but we're feeding their hearts," says Weaver.
If you'd like to help someone else out this holiday season here is your chance. The food bank will be distributing food on Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday, Christmas Eve, from 9 a.m. to noon. Call the food bank at 763-3003 for more information.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The Peoria Housing Authority has a plan to break up the Taft Homes on Eaton street.
There are 216 apartments in the complex, sitting on 20 acres of land.
The goal is to desegregate large areas of poverty in the city.
The first phase moves residents from 80 units to two separate locations.
Those locations would house no more than 50 units each, depending on the size of the lot.
While not yet set in stone, the areas being considered are in the 919 N.E. Jefferson and 2917 W. Lake Avenue.
The director of modernization and development for the Peoria Housing Authority said they have talked with residents about their needs and the areas they want to live in.
"Our goal would be to desegregate as much as possible while still providing housing where residents really want to live in, that have family that live there and have access to services they currently use or need," said Yvonne Long.
Eventually residents from all 216 apartments will have to move and the land will be sold.
Community meetings on the proposed locations are next week.
The locations will not be set in stone until after hearing public comments.
Meeting dates and times will be released on Friday.

W.Va. Classrooms Becoming 21st Century Learning Centers
Posted: August 15, 2008
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - West Virginia schools are adding rigor and relevance as they make the transition to 21st century classrooms. Starting this school year, what students learn in their classrooms will include a significantly increased level of rigor.
"We must move beyond No Child Left Behind," said West Virginia Superintendent of Schools Steve Paine. "While NCLB has done an excellent job of closing the achievement gap among all students, it has not challenged our best and brightest as well as all students to exceed their reach. Now, with the 21st Century Learning and Teaching program, West Virginia is committed to closing the gap between the knowledge and skills students learn in school and the knowledge and skills they need for the 21st century workplace."
As educators nationwide consider ways to address the need for 21st-century learning, many are looking to West Virginia as a model. What West Virginia has done is update its Content Standards and Objectives to add rigor, relevance and 21st century skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is doing this by aligning state standards not only with the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) but also with international standards found in international assessments including the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMSS).
"I am excited for our schools to open," Paine said. "Several education stakeholders have worked tirelessly to develop the new Content Standards and Objectives. The time has finally come to introduce 21st century rigor into the classroom. We have a long road ahead of us but I am confident that ultimately our educators will master a new way of teaching and our students will excel on national and international assessments thanks to the 21st Century Learning and Teaching program."
West Virginia's 21st Century Learning and Teaching program also includes a more challenging assessment to replace the West Virginia Educational Standards Test (WESTEST). WESTEST 2 is an assessment that increases the expectations of what a student should know and be able to do upon graduation from high school. At the core of the plan are teachers who are eager to bring 21st century learning to their classrooms. The Department of Education and the West Virginia Board of Education recognize that teachers need relevant, research-based professional development if they are to reach today's generation and will continue to provide training statewide.
"Now more than ever, the WVDE will focus on supporting high quality professional development for teachers and student assessments that align with real-world learning," Paine said.

Tonight's episode is Live from L.A.
Special guest Terry McAuliffe joined Bill via satellite to talk about the Democratic Party, when Bill dove right in. With a poll showing that 70% of Americans believe Saddam Hussein had something to do with the 9/11 attack, he wanted to know what's wrong with the Democrats and why aren't they getting the message out that it is now fairly clear that he did not have anything to do with 9/11. Bill then wanted to know what would happen to current Democratic front-runner and Iraq war opponent Howard Dean if Hussein, Bin Laden or weapons of mass destruction were found. Bill also wanted to know if, all things being equal, Kerry deserved the Party's nod because of his military service. Finally, he asked McAuliffe if Dean's low appeal to minority voters would present a problem for the Party if he were nominated.
Bill then introduced his roundtable guests, Betsy Hart, Paul Krugman, and Jesse Ventura. Bill started things off by noting the passing of the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the changed mood from the previous anniversary. He then asked Krugman what he thought of the Bush Presidency given his critique of the decision to attack Iraq and the subsequent impact on the economy. There then followed a free wheeling discussion on the subject by the roundtable. The discussion then moved to the question of if the attacks have made the public passive and accepting of what our government tells us. The conversation then shifted to the Governor of Alabama's failed attempt to sell a tax increase to the state's voters as being the Christian thing to do. Krugman then argued with Ventura about Ventura's call for reliance on a sales tax mechanism, and how it is highly regressive and unfair to the poor. The two of them then argued about farm subsidies, where Krugman futilely pointed out the government sets a floor on crop prices, not a ceiling as argued by Ventura.
Bill then introduced his special guest musician Liz Phair to talk about Internet enabling music piracy. After talking with Phair, Bill spoke about his dismay that Tommy Chong was sentenced to nine months in prison for a venture he ran that sold bongs over the Internet. Bill then gave this week's New Rules.

A unique and first of its kind event will roll through central Pennsylvania next month. It's called the "Mille for MS" and it's a road rally to fight the disabling disease.
"We wanted to make it a unique road rally through beautiful central Pennsylvania roads," said Mike Pavone of Mille for MS.
The inaugural road rally will take off Saturday, October 20 at 8 a.m. It will start at Sun Motors Porsche dealership on the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg and wind its way over more than 100 miles for a day-long journey.
"We're gonna go from Sun Motor Cars to King's Gap which is a state park," said Hugh Simpson of Mille for MS. "From King's Gap, we'll go to the Carlisle Fairgrounds for lunch and then from there go to Felicita which is where the finish is."
But more vintage vehicles are needed to make the Mille for MS a success. It costs $200 for car enthusiasts to join the road rally.
"We want any vintage cars, unique cars, exotic cars, muscle cars, antiques and classics all of that," Pavone said.
Mille is Italian for thousand and the goal is to raise $20,000 to help the 6,200 people living with MS in central Pennsylvania.
"This is an optimistic time for people living with MS. There are now nine treatments to stop the progression, plus local programs and services but there's still much to be done," said Margie Adelmann of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The fun starts Friday, October 19th. For $10, the public can check out the cars in the road rally at Sun Motors on the Carlisle Pike. The sneak preview is from 5-9 p.m. You can also vote for your favorite car.

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalJason Bourne lives!
Deadline is exclusively reporting that Oscar-nominated writer-director Tony Gilroy ('Michael Clayton') will helm the fourth chapter in the Jason Bourne series, tentatively titled 'The Bourne Legacy.' This will mark Gilroy's first time directing a 'Bourne' film, though he's already familiar with the franchise, having written its first three movies.
The decision to use Gilroy as director now puts the franchise in a tricky situation, however, as star Matt Damon said he would not return for a fourth movie unless it was directed by Paul Greengrass, who helmed 'The Bourne Supremacy' and the Oscar-winning 'Bourne Ultimatum' in 2004 and 2007, respectively.
Still, Deadline indicates that Universal is expected to move forward with 'Legacy,' with or without Damon.
Further details on plot and a release date were not announced.
Tell us: Is Tony Gilroy the right man to direct 'Bourne' 4? And should Matt Damon reprise his starring role?

Whether you've been watching the fall of Netflix, the movie studios battling over windows with Blockbuster or the tough negotiations that TV channels have been holding with cable providers, you will largely see media stories pointing to a battle that's been going on for ages: Content vs Distribution.
Many media moguls argue that "Content is King" -without it distributors would have nothing to show consumers. Yet sadly for artists, the last decade has run by distribution CEOs at companies like AMC Theatres, Time Warner Cable and even Netflix.
However now is seems that content is starting to get the upper hand! As more distributors come to the market, giving creators more outlets to reach consumers, the value of content is skyrocketing. One analyst recently noted that Netflix will need to pay 10x more for its content in 2012 than it did two years ago!
So now it's your turn to get into content. At Tenlegs we are a big believer in the power that truly creative content holds. Our goal is to help you find collaborators and a community that will allow you to build your content to perfection! What are you waiting for?

I am using E coli DNA for my experiments. What I need is to restrict 24Kb E coli DNA to two equal halves and then to label one half (24Kb) DNA with biotin and DIG. Then I attach this DNA with streptavidin and anti-digoxigenin coated beads. My problem is that the protocol that I am following doesnot give me strong enough coupling between the beads and DNA and the binding breaks very quickly. Can anyone suggest where to find detailed protocol. I would appreciate any help. Help on preperation of beads will be also very much appreciated.

This was originally posted on my blog, but I thought many here would be able to sympathize with the emotions...
Last night ranks number two in my sports-heartbreak hall of fame. Right behind the 1996 Denver Broncos. You'd think that being 27 years old instead of 11, and having a little more perspective on things and the relative importance of sports -- or lack thereof -- would make it hurt a little less. But it doesn't. Perspective doesn't help with these kinds of things. Not really anyway. I didn't cry like I did in '96, but I wanted to. All the emotions were there. The feeling that this wasn't supposed to happen. Questioning why things ended the way that they did. The feelings might be illogical, but they're completely authentic. If you're a sports fan, you get it.
What made last night especially gut-wrenching was that we really, truly could have won. And that's the worst way to lose. After the first leg a week ago, we had a mountain to climb, a three goal deficit to overcome. But we could have done it. From the kickoff, you could tell that the team was playing with a fire and an intensity that LA simply couldn't match. We wanted it and we wanted it badly. When Eddie scored early (and then scored again since the first one didn't count), the feeling started to spread throughout the stadium that maybe, just maybe there was hope. You could see it with the players too. Zakuani played the best game of his career -- broken leg be damned -- blazing down the wings, beating defenders one-on-one and creating opportunity after opportunity. Ozzy proved that, contrary to popular belief, honey badgers can freaking fly. He dominated the entire midfield, trouncing Keane and Beckham countless times and sending them crying to the referee. We played with heart, and desire, and determination. Surely it would pay off. It had to.
When Zach Scott scored off a spectacular diving header in the 57th minute, the stadium went ballistic. No longer was the comeback just a pipe dream, it was destiny. Everywhere you looked, you could sense it. Something special was happening. This would be one of those games that they talk about years from now. Whenever a team needs a miracle comeback, they'll mention the 2012 Seattle Sounders and say "anything is possible". I remember running through the narrative in my head. Revenge Tour 2012. Real Salt Lake -- defeated. Los Angeles Galaxy -- defeated. Houston Dynamo -- defeated. All our playoff demons exorcised. I contemplated where this game would rank in my all time sports moments. It wasn't a championship, so it couldn't beat out the 1997 Broncos. But it would be every bit as memorable. I would never forget this game, where I was or how I felt. And then, everything was ripped away.
In the 68th minute, Robbie Keane had some space down the left hand side and Johansson ran him down to defend. Keane tried to cross it but Johansson sent it out for a corner. Except instead of taking the ball to the corner, everyone headed to the edge of the box. It was a penalty. A soul-crushing, earth-shattering penalty kick. From where we were sitting, there was no way to see whether the ball bounced of Johansson's face, his hand, or whether it even hit him at all. I've been told it could have gone either way. Not un-callable, but not blatant either. Personally, I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the replay. What's the point? Maybe if that call and the incorrect off-sides call on Eddie go the other way, we end up winning the series -- probably we end up winning the series. But they didn't go our way, and that's sports. That's life, really. If you don't win in a knock-out and you leave it up to the judges, there are no guarantees. It sucks and it hurts and it's unfair, but it's over. No, that doesn't mean we have to get over it right now, or tomorrow, or next week. But it means we can't change the outcome and eventually we'll need to move on.
Before the game, the Sounders front office played a montage of inspirational sports movie speeches. Something to get people motivated and hopeful for the game. They ended with a great quote from the last Rocky movie:
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. It's how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.
Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that.
Classic corny movie cliche to the letter, but no less true. I've been a sports fan for as long as I can remember. And in all my seasons of watching, caring, crying, and cheering, I've had two seasons not end with some kind of disappointment. But honestly, I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. Heartbreak and all. A sports cynic might say it's silly to care so much about sports, but I'd hate to know what it's like to not care.
Eternal Blue Forever Green.

Amazing cast that starts with Paul Giamatti. Bobby Cannavale also gives a hilarious performance. All of the characters are written well and the cast knocks it out of the park. The story is not as predictable as you will think and it's funnier than you will expect.
Flick Pick of the Week: Bad Lieutenant
I'm always surprised how many people have not seen this film. It will punch you in the mouth. Harvey Keitel is nuts, one of the better acting performances of the 90s'. It's hard to pick the best scene of the film, cause all of them are crazy. Great ending too.
Flick Pick of the Week: Punching The Clown
I usually don't hear people bring this film up ever. It's hilarious at certain moments, dead pan humor to perfection. Extremely original. A person who loves stand up comedy will really appreciate the film. As funny as the songs are that Henry Phillips plays during the film, his journey to the stage is even better.
Flick Pick of the Week: Monsters
It's a hard film to place one specific genre to it. Thriller, Sci-Fi, Drama, a great mix of them all. A fantastic beginning/end to this film. You will surprised with this one, not what you expect at all. Also, hard to believe, but a low budget film.
Flick Pick of the Week: Son of Rambow
So many different people will love this film. Take baseball out of "The Sandlot" and insert making a movie. And also add British accents to the kids. Brings you back to being a kid, running around with wild imaginations. A funny and original comedy.

Flick Pick of the Week: Winter's Bone
Jennifer Lawrence shows why she is going to be around a long, long time with this fantastic film. After watching this, you'll see why she got the part in The Hunger Games. Nothing bad about this film. Grabs you from the very beginning and doesn't let go. Great screenplay with some amazing performances. Wish more films like this.
Flick Pick of the Week: Timecrimes
A low-budget Spanish indy film. It's a great take on the Time Machine genre. Actually, highly quirky and with great dark twists. I wasn't sure while watching it if they could find a savvy enough ending. The filmmakers proved me wrong here, I wasn't disappointed.

Flick Pick of the Week: Moon
I'm always surprised by how many people have not seen this. Sam Rockwell kills every role he's in but he carries this entire film. Plus, you get to listen to Kevin Spacey 's smooth peanut butter voice as the robot.
Flick Pick of the Week: The Brothers Bloom
Cool con film. Even though Adrien Brody is the lead, Mark Ruffalo steals the show. A ton of twists and turns, maybe one too many, but it works with the quirky characters. Clever ending. So far I'm a fan of every film by Director Rian Johnson.
Flick Pick of the Week: The Cooler
Little darker than what the trailer hints at, but an unusual plot & quirky. William H Macy does a a good job as the lead. However, Alec Baldwin steals the film as this might be his most underrated work ever. I'd recommend it to someone just for his part.
Flick Pick of the Week: The Wages of Fear
Yes it's a French film, yes it's in subtitles, and yes it's really old (1953). But get some culture in you and tell me some of the suspense scenes doesn't have you holding your breath. The ending will either leave you laughing or with your jaw on the floor.

Flick Pick of the Week: The Grey
I watched this last year, and it made a huge impression on me. A man just wants to get home to see his family, and is upended by a plane crash, wolves, and nature.
It was never going to win any Oscars, but it was going to win over a lot of people who like Liam Neeson.
Flick Pick of the Week: Safety Not Guaranteed
Totally surprised by this film. Knew going in the cast is great, but knew nothing about the plot. I was sucked in after 15 minutes and was texting my sister that she needed to see this asap. Mark Duplass best acting job so far. Jack Johnson and Aubrey Plaza were hysterical.

Spike in auto burglaries in Deer Creek area being investigated by OCSO.
(Edmond, Oklahoma) The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) has received 10 automobile burglary calls between June 3rd and June 19th in the Deer Creek area. Most of the burglaries occurred between N. May to the west and N. Western to the east between NW 234th and NW 206th, it's estimated more than $10,000.00 worth of items were stolen. The majority of vehicles targeted had valuables in plain sight, or were unlocked. Here are some tips to keep from becoming a victim of an automobile burglary:
• Don't leave valuables in your car. If you must leave items in your car at least place them out of sight, or lock them away inside of your glove box.
• Lock all your vehicle's doors, roll up the windows, and if you have a car alarm or anti-theft device activate it.
• Park in busy, well lit areas when possible.
• Park inside of your garage and remember to always secure the garage door.
• Keep a list of serial numbers for law enforcement to identify your items when they are located.
If you have information regarding these burglaries please contact the OCSO at (405) 713-1017.

Hello friends at WAGNH. Yea, I know, I said I wouldn't do another comps, but I decided to and you shall enjoy it. Or else. Please? Okay, now that we have that settled, let's discus a youngster that has been having a great season playing with the other baby blues. Since this review will be covering a bit more than a match, and will be longer than my other fanposts, I'll call this article 'Player Focus'. Now, as previously agreed, enjoy.
Ruben plays in a position that I hardly know how to judge, but there is something about him – that simplicity and sturdiness that he shows in the middle of the pitch – that has caught my eye recently. The afro-donning 17 year-old is already a popular player amongst Chelsea fans, and he has even caught the attention of the media after Chelsea gave him a contract that will see him earning 1.7m pounds a year, which is apparently morally and ethically wrong; but I think it's weird to criticize the lad, or the club, for this lucrative agreement. In any case, it can hardly be argued that he's definitely a youngster that even the most pessimistic can envision weathering the figurative storm that seemingly prevented Chelsea academy players past from scraping their way into football's equivalent of the Majors. (I say seemingly because this is kind of a misrepresentation of reality) You can see that I'm particularly fond of this prospect.
This Manchester City game is, in many ways, a perfect representation of where he is now as a player - some turnovers of his could really have cost us, and were perfectly unnecessary - and how much he has to offer to the club – His dribbling skill refreshingly bears semblance to players in more attacking positions, and his passing, like Ake's, is crisp and direct. He might as well be a German, quite frankly, and his feverish tackling and calm play and utter solidity on the ball makes him similar to a very capable player that is now retired – Michael Ballack. Yes, this comparison has been made my many a commentator, and I must say that I find no reason to disagree, even though it's in my nature to disagree a lot. He's only 17, mind you, and he was the 4rd best player against a strong City team (ruthlessly keeping most of their first-team players in the starting lineup for this match). I feel that it's not too unfitting, too presumptuous, to already recommend him for first-team duty as early as next season. Yes, I'm being serious.
It should be noted that, among our prospects in midfield, I value Chalobah the most, with his immediate subordinate always Ake in my mind, but that opinion is quickly changing (Granted, Ake had a brilliant game too. Even better than Ruben because of his shot attempts. He was second, in my opinion, behind Ramires and above Torres.) Ruben just seems to make more sense than Ake as a Chelsea player, more similar to Chalobah in the way he positions himself and controls the tempo effortlessly. As I said earlier, I'm really unsure of how to judge this position properly, but I'm willing to put this on the line and say that next season he WILL be featured by whoever our new coach is. I'll be damned if he goes out on loan, unless we buy a Modric or another player or two of similar calibre. He has that thing that so few players have; that intangible that can't quite be put into words; that thing that separates the stars from the superstars. I hope more than a few of you agree with me when I say that he can be one of the top 5 best midfielders in the world, given the proper opportunity to shine. Indeed, he already has a few admirers - one of the fans, when quized on who they prefer between Ake and Chalobah, went so far to inject his name into the discussion, even hailing Loftus as the best of the three:
This, to me, is a nice sign, and I can find myself agreeing, though tentatively, with James Bond here (LB007). If I see a bit more of Loftus, I might start digging him more than star prospect Nathaniel. This preseason is a splendid stage for the world to see how good he can be, and I'm sure he can deliver.
So there it is, my ramblings on the super-prospect we have - Loftus Cheek. If you've enjoyed this article, please Rec, and tell me where I went wrong, whether it was my off-topicnecedness or my overly-gleeful presentation.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome Center: Ongoing Research Studies
Our current research continues to build upon our past research and focuses on validating the new screening tools developed, evaluating the new treatment strategies offered, and continuing the challenging effort to determine what causes SWS.
The long-term vision for our research is the development of multi-centered clinical trials and research efforts. To that end, we welcome collaborations with other centers and foundations. Only by bringing together the resources, expertise, patients and people from around the country and the world, can we maximize the efforts already made to better treat and prevent SWS.
Please note that this information is provided for informational purposes only to those interested in supporting our work and is not for recruitment.
If you would like to participate in a study, please visit the recruiting studies page. For more information, call Dr. Anne Comi at (443) 923-9127 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Read about our studies to:
Studies to Improve Clinical Care of Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Anticonvulsant Data
Patients with SWS are often prescribed one or several anticonvulsant medications. Our current study seeks to examine these different anticonvulsants, and the associated clinical outcomes.
Stimulant Use in Patients with Sturge-Weber Syndrome: Safety and Efficacy
We are assessing the use of stimulants in patients that have Sturge-Weber syndrome in order to analyze the safety of these medications as well as how well they work in relation to these patients.
Studies to Improve the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Sturge-Weber Syndrome
NA_00038014, BVMC 6202: Innovative approaches to gauge progression of Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Our goal is to create the first standardized national clinical database for SWS research. We will also determine whether urine angiogenesis markers have clinical utility as predictors of disease progression and severity. Finally, we will test the hypothesis that the initiating event in SWS genesis is a somatic mutation in a gene(s) essential for vascular development. Please see below for some notes on our ongoing progress.
Aim 1 - Standardized SWS registry and clinical database. A centralized database and registry is needed to comprehensively define the phenotype of SWS and foster future clinical research. This national database is de-identified and housed at the University of South Florida. The recruiting centers continue to add subjects and are beginning to analyze data collected to date.
Aim 2 - Urine angiogenesis biomarkers. Urine levels of vascular biomarkers may correlate with neurologic outcome at follow up. Biomarkers of neurologic involvement are needed to select patients for aggressive treatment and to monitor treatment responses. 36 subjects with SWS and 29 family member controls have been recruited and urine samples are being collected and correlated with clinical status over a two year period of time.
Aim 3 - Somatic mutation causing SWS. It has been hypothesized that SWS is caused by a somatic mutation in a gene encoding an angiogenesis factor. In this portion of the study we hope to establish somatic mutations as an underlying disease mechanism with an eye towards adapting such knowledge into a definitive biomarker for SWS. Data analysis continues from whole genome, whole exome, and deep sequencing analyses of DNA from SWS normal and abnormal tissue.
Dr Anne Comi and Dr Josh Ewen discuss recent qEEG resultsNA_00043846, BVMC 6204: Establishing reliability for Quantitative EEG, Transcranial Doppler, behavioral outcomes, and Optical Coherence Tomography in SWS
Dr Anne Comi and Dr Josh Ewen discuss recent qEEG results
Our goal is to develop methods to improve early diagnosis, to monitor response to treatment, and to predict functional outcome of SWS. The first step in doing so has been to determine the reliability of the measures that we intend to use repeatedly over time in these patients.
Aim 1 - Quantitative EEG. Diagnosing brain involvement in infants with a facial port-wine birthmark is complicated by the low sensitivity of neuroimaging at young age. qEEG may be a useful biomarker for SWS brain involvement, especially for young patients, as an alternative to MRIs or CTs. Recruitment from this study is complete and data analysis in ongoing.
Aim 2 - Transcranial Doppler. Asymmetry in blood flow velocity, as seen on Transcranial Doppler ultrasounds, may correlate with neurologic progression. Transcranial doppler ultrasound holds promise in assessing the risk of stroke among SWS patients. Recruitment from this study is complete and data analysis in ongoing.
Aim 3 - Medical Rehabilitation Scales. Hemiparesis and fine motor skills are often problematic for SWS patients. A variety of clinical medical rehabilitation scales, may help assess functional skills and mobility issues among SWS patients. These scales may serve as practical methods for evaluating SWS progression and response to treatment. Recruitment from this study is complete and data analysis in ongoing.
Aim 4 - Optical Coherence Tomography. Glaucoma is associated with the presence of a port-wine facial birthmark around the eye region. Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive measure that could prove useful is assessing eye pressure in SWS.
This study is completed and the following manuscript is in press: Karun SA, Quigley HA, Comi A, Rhonda BM, Jampel. Increased Choroidal Thickness in Patients with Sturge-Weber Syndrome. JAMA Opthalmology. In Press

Clinical EEGs and their correlations
We are seeking to uncover the way that clinical EEG reading is associated with our monitoring of SWS clinical outcomes.
Noninvasive Imaging and Functional Correlation of Intracranial Pial Angiomatosis
in Patients With Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Principal Investigator: Doris Lin, MD, PhD
Co-investigators: Dr. Anne Comi & Dr. Peter Barker
This study is an important component in our work to discover better ways to use MRI imaging to diagnose and monitor Sturge-Weber Syndrome.
Children (age 8 and greater) and adults with Sturge-Weber syndrome: Participants have an imaging study of the brain to see how the vascular structures and blood flow are changed by Sturge-Weber syndrome.
Quantitative EEG Study
Principal Investigator: Anne Comi, MD
The purpose of this study is to determine whether quantitative EEG can improve early screening of SWS brain involvement in at-risk infants with a V1 facial port-wine birthmark and to determine if it will help us safely monitor response to treatment.
We have been developing quantitative EEG (see our initial study in the completed study section) as a safe tool to screen infants with a facial port-wine birthmark for brain involvement and for monitoring neurologic progression. This involves a routine EEG that is analyzed in a special way to evaluate for abnormal asymmetry in power.
Doppler and ultrasound studies of the eye in Sturge-Weber syndrome
Principal Investigator: Anne Comi, MD
The purpose of this study is to develop the optimal use of doppler and ultrasound for the understanding of abnormal blood flow in the eye and for monitoring progression in SWS.
This study is retrospectively reviewing the results of doppler and ultrasound studies done as part of the clinical evaluation of patients with SWS and eye involvement. Analyzing these studies in large numbers of patients with SWS with improve our understanding of the blood flow dynamics in the eye and how they change over time and in response to treatment.
Neuropsychological Testing
Principal Investigator: Anne Comi, MD
The purpose of this study is to better delineate the range of cognitive deficits in SWS and understand how this is associated with the extent of brain involvement and other neurologic issues.
This testing is designed to measure how well a person performs on various tasks, including memory, language, attention, and learning. Some tests may involve writing or saying the answers to questions. Other tests may involve drawing pictures or performing tasks like putting objects in order.
Studies to Better Understand the Pathogenesis (Cause) of Sturge-Weber Syndrome
These studies are conducted as part of The Sturge-Weber Syndrome and Ischemia in the Immature Brain Research Program at Kennedy Krieger Institute.
DNA Array Analysis Searching for Somatic Mutation in Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Without knowing what causes SWS or what genes are involved we are unable to develop a true animal model to test preventative or treatment strategies. Therefore, discovering the cause of SWS remains a challenging but high priority goal of this research.
The cause of SWS is unknown, however one of the leading hypotheses is a somatic mutation occurring in the first trimester of pregnancy. If this hypothesis is true then we may be able to discover this somatic mutation using powerful DNA array technology. We have already done some pilot work in this area. Below is shown data from a DNA array comparing DNA from affected and unaffected samples from the same individual with SWS. More powerful, larger DNA arrays have recently been developed and it is our goal to continue this challenging search with the latest technology in collaboration with the Pevsner laboratory at the Kennedy Krieger Laboratory.
Boston Urine Testing
The purpose of this study is to determine if urine vascular factors in SWS can help us understand more about the pathogenesis of SWS and whether it can be used to monitor response to treatment or predict outcome.
This study is measuring blood vessel factors in the urine of individuals with Sturge-Weber syndrome in collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Marsha Moses. Urine vascular biomarkers have been developed for other vascular malformations to monitor response to treatment or predict disease severity and we are working on similar progress with Sturge-Weber syndrome.Please see our Completed Research page for abstracts of recently published papers by Center members.

Dear Editor:
I want to thank the city street department for the work they did to make our city a place of beauty.
I called them one morning to see if they could clean up some weeds at the end of our street. I could not do it and they said that they would surely take a look at it. They came that morning to assess it and by 2 p.m. it was all cleaned up and sprayed. New red signs were put up and it really looks nice.
The best part was that they said "Call us anytime."
Thanks so very much to our city workers who serve our community.
Laura GoertzenAurora
Dear Editor:Why is it so difficult for people to drive with lights on during the day?
It doesn't take any more gas and it sure makes it a lot easier to see someone coming.
Put your lights on and save a life.
June HoeghAurora
Dear Editor:I'm not sure who to direct this to exactly, but on a recent evening I took a drive into the country, just for fun and to see nature as it is at the present -- a beautiful green and lush environment.The ride was sometimes difficult due to the unwatched sprinklers that shoot over the road, not only before my passing by but once in a while as I am passing. It is illegal to let this happen and very dangerous. But, I have heard some say, they don't maintain the end gun because it takes too much time and they will pay their $100 fine instead. That's not really enough to deter them.I don't have to drive the country roads often, but I have family and friends who do regularly and I know of a recent experience when the driver came very close to having an accident when hitting such a spot in the dark.Not only are there errant sprinklers, but many corners are blinded by corn or sunflowers. My son-in-law and family live with the aftermath of a blind corner accident, victims of carelessness.While I don't enjoy being a complainer, sometimes it is necessary to remind people of problem areas. The road becomes wet and traffic causes ruts, gravel washes off and driving is made more difficult.I, for one, will report the situation in hopes of getting a safer drive. I hope the owners will take responsibility for their own property.Noni TroesterHampton
Dear editor:
The person or persons who damaged tombstones at Farmers Valley Cemetery in Hamilton County should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Then they should be made to come out and help restore the cemetery they destroyed. I know they won't be reading this, though, because someone who would do that doesn't read newspapers. I have taken hundreds of pictures of tombstones in the Hamilton/Hall County areas for people from out of state whose ancestors are buried here. Disregard for family history and grave sites is, in my opinion, sacrilege.Jackie Rudnick, genealogist Grand Island
Dear Editor:"What price did you pay for your freedom?" A question asked by some.
"There is a debt that can never be fully repaid to our veterans." A statement made by many.
We all owe a form of payment to those who have served our country. That payment is made in many different ways and amounts. Some do it monetarily, others with support and volunteerism. Grand Island has a proven track record of all of the above as witnessed by providing care for our veterans at the Grand Island Veterans Home for over 126 years.
The claim Grand Island has in caring for and supporting veterans cannot be denied, nor should it be overlooked. Grand Island has a right to be extremely proud of its heritage and willingness to stand tall for those who have served.
The GI Home for our Heroes Committee presented a very detailed proposal to the "Site Selection Committee" justifying that a new veterans home be built in Grand Island. The work that was involved was very comprehensive and reviewed thoroughly prior to its submission. We have 126 years of experience that no other community can attest to in caring for our veterans and their family members, who have resided at the Grand Island Veterans Home.
The volunteerism and community support in caring for veterans in a veterans home setting is unmatched by others that were involved in seeking to be the site for a new facility. Grand Island has a proven history of being a very strong advocate for veterans and I believe that commitment in advocating for veterans will continue for the next 126 years and beyond.
There has been much said and printed regarding the decision to move the Grand Island Veterans Home to another community. If you believe, as I do, that the proper site for a new veterans home is Grand Island, Neb., then we must make our state leaders aware of those beliefs. The Nebraska state legislators need to hear from each of us, now, as a new legislative session is fast approaching. We should also let Washington hear our voices, loud and clear! There is a very real possibility of retaining the veterans home in Grand Island, so let youvoice be heard.

Firefighters swap hard hats for skirts and ribbons for charity
10:32am Thursday 3rd April 2014 in News
Working at the car wash: Firefighters Adam Lockley-Holder and Martyn Welling with Haven fund-raiser Lesley Leach and Ben Scott from Wye Leisure, with firefighters Neil Gordon (front), Mark Gordon and Andy Jones. (5018661)
A GROUP of county firefighters are swapping hard hats and protective clothing for short skirts and ribbons - all for a good cause.
The fire crews from Fownhope will take a break from putting out flames and get soapy for a charity car wash.
It is hoped the event will raise more than £2,000, which will be split between Hereford breast cancer support centre, The Haven, and The Fire Fighters Charity.
They will be at Wye Leisure in Fownhope on Easter Monday and will be joined by volunteers from The Haven and Wye Leisure, who will be dressed as firefighters, to serve coffee and cakes made by Sally Gordon.
Lesley Leach, community fund-raiser for The Haven, said: "We are really grateful to the firefighters for their support. It is so brave of them to dress like this to raise awareness of The Haven and the services we offer, and we hope people will be extra generous with their donations when they see them.
"Mind you, if I had legs like some of these chaps, I would wear such short skirts too."
The event will run from 9am to 5pm.

Media: Is Copper the New Gold? Nope.
- Joshua M Brown
- April 26th, 2011
Is copper the "new gold"? Nope!
I had a blast on CNBC today with Larry and Mandy debating that question. I'm not sure what the other guy's point was but there are a few points I tried to make:
1. Copper and gold have nothing to do with each other save the fact they are denominated in dollars.
2. Copper is mainly a play on building in China, it has very little to do with an earnings report from Ford.
3. If the dollar rallies, even temporarily, there is no shot that only "gold and silver bugs" will feel the pain. Copper's coming down too.
4. There are much better ways to play growth than buying copper outright. Like a million better ways.
I got a little feisty today, watch what happens after I get cut off by Matthew

It's getting colder, especially at night, and when you are leaving your heater unattended, there are dangerous risks you should know about.
The Charleston Fire Department is reminding residents to be careful. Lieutenant Alisha Samples said there are a large number of fire calls that come in when it gets colder, all due to space heater fires.
She said space heaters can become overheated and catch on fire. This is especially true when flammable materials are kept close to the heater. Also, Kerosene heaters are not recommended by the fire department for use in the home. The number one problem is leaving space heaters unattended. "Electric heaters, they can overheat. So you want to be careful with those, make sure your watching them. Don't leave them running while your gone. With your kerosene heaters when your filling them with fuel make sure you fuel them outside of the house," said Lt. Alisha Samples with Charleston Fire Department.
When using a space heater such as a kerosene heater or one with an open flame, the Charleston Fire Department recommends a carbon monoxide meter be installed in the home.

Abstract—Most analysts start with an overview of the data before gradually refining their view to be more focused and detailed. Multiscale pan-and-zoom systems are effective because they directly support this approach. However, generating abstract overviews of large data sets is difficult and most systems take advantage of only one type of abstraction: visual abstraction. Furthermore, these existing systems limit the analyst to a single zooming path on their data and thus to a single set of abstract views. This paper presents: 1) a formalism for describing multiscale visualizations of data cubes with both data and visual abstraction and 2) a method for independently zooming along one or more dimensions by traversing a zoom graph with nodes at different levels of detail. As an example of how to design multiscale visualizations using our system, we describe four design patterns using our formalism. These design patterns show the effectiveness of multiscale visualization of general relational databases.
