Protein Functions
Antibodies - are specialized proteins involved in defending the body from antigens (foreign invaders). They can travel through the blood stream and are utilized by the immune system to identify and defend against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign intruders. One way antibodies counteract antigens is by immobilizing them so that they can be destroyed by white blood cells.
Contractile Proteins - are responsible for movement. Examples include actin and myosin. These proteins are involved in muscle contraction and movement.
Enzymes - are proteins that facilitate biochemical reactions. They are often referred to as catalysts because they speed up chemical reactions. Examples include the enzymes lactase and pepsin. Lactase breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that works in the stomach to break down proteins in food.
Hormonal Proteins - are messenger proteins which help to coordinate certain bodily activities. Examples include insulin, oxytocin, and somatotropin. Insulin regulates glucose metabolism by controlling the blood-sugar concentration. Oxytocin stimulates contractions in females during childbirth. Somatotropin is a growth hormone that stimulates protein production in muscle cells.
Structural Proteins - are fibrous and stringy and provide support. Examples include keratin, collagen, and elastin. Keratins strengthen protective coverings such as hair, quills, feathers, horns, and beaks. Collagens and elastin provide support for connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments.
Storage Proteins - store amino acids. Examples include ovalbumin and casein. Ovalbumin is found in egg whites and casein is a milk-based protein.
- Transport Proteins - are carrier proteins which move molecules from one place to another around the body. Examples include hemoglobin and cytochromes. Hemoglobin transports oxygen through the blood. Cytochromes operate in the electron transport chain as electron carrier proteins.
Protein StructureThere are four levels of protein structure. These levels are distinguished from one another by the degree of complexity in the polypeptide chain (linked amino acids). The four levels of protein structure are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. A single protein molecule may contain one or more of these protein structure types. The structure of a protein determines its function. For example, collagen has a super-coiled helical shape. It is long, stringy, strong, and resembles a rope. This structure is great for providing support. Hemoglobin, on the other hand, is a globular protein that is folded and compact. Its spherical shape is useful for maneuvering through blood vessels.
Protein SynthesisProteins are synthesized in the body through a process called translation. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and involves the translation of genetic codes, assembled during DNA transcription, into proteins. Cell structures called ribosomes help translate these genetic codes into polypeptide chains that undergo several modifications before becoming fully functioning proteins.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio was named the Major League Soccer Player of the Week on Monday for Week 28 of the 2013 season.
The Italian Designated Player scored a pair of goals on Sunday to lead the Impact to a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium.
It was the 38-year-old's third brace in four games and the result lifted the Impact into a three-way tie for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with Red Bull New York and Sporting Kansas City, each on 45 points.
Di Vaio also reclaimed the lead in MLS's Golden Boot race with 17 goals this season, two clear of Chicago's Mike Magee.
The MLS Player of the Week award is selected each week by the North American Soccer Reporters. The group consists of members of online, print, television, and radio media.

Hands up: WHO REMEMBERS PATRICK CRAWLEY? Patrick Crawley died in episode one of the first series of Downton, on the Titanic. So the story goes, he was Mary's fiance but Edith's One True Love -- which does sort of explain why Edith is so horrible most of the time.
He pressures Cora in his smarmy gross way to get Lavinia on a train STAT so Matthew can re-fall in love with her or whatever. He bascially threatens to dump Mary at the altar if this doesn't happen. Cora, not being real smart, agrees immediately.

Add Your New Review About The Song
Review | Reviewer: Joe Johnston | 10/30/11
This song is great, it really has a lot of emotion that speaks for itself. The lyrics are amazing, one of my personal favorite parts is when Way sings, "And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death." Not emo or suicidal or anything like that, but My Chemical Romance really can make you better when you're down.
how can i describe this? | Reviewer: the killjoyy | 10/25/10
this song means so much to me, and besides the point, the lyrics are firm and full with emotion... it almost made me cry, this is REAL music peoplee!!!
And we'll love again, we'll laugh again
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/21/10
okay so this song helped me get over my cousins death and it's all because of those lines and we'll love again and we'll laugh again and we'll cry again and we'll dance again. It just reminds me that i will see her in the future even though we'll both be dead then
Anonymous | Reviewer: FUCKING AWESOME SONG | 1/2/09
OMG! I love the way when Gerard says "I'm so dirty babe." It sounds so cool lol. Also the part where he says "and never again, and never again, they gave us two shots..." yea you know the rest i love that part. This song just fucking owns. All i have to say. Good job MCR.
It's about a serial killer | Reviewer: Supermightygal | 8/8/08
I like this song so much. I think this song is about a serial killer who killed his victims, then used their identities and lived their lifes. It reminds me of a film starred by angelina jolie, Taking Lives.
I like this part,
Another night and i'll see you, another night and i'll be you, some other way to continue, to hide my face.
And this part,
it ain't for the money and it sure as hell ain't just for a fame, it's for the body i claim and lose..
According to Gerard, MCR isn't EMO! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/27/08
My Chemical Romance's music has been described by the media as "pop punk",[25] "alternative rock", "post-hardcore"[25] and "punk revival".[25] The band themselves described their music as simply "rock" or "violent, dangerous pop" on their official website,[26] as well as rejecting the term "emo"[27] to describe their style, though another source quotes frontman Way stating that they are "What-else-ya-got-emo".[3] Frontman Gerard Way has recently stated in an interview that they were never Emo, as he says emo is "a pile of shit."[28]

We're all fans right? After an incredibly long off-season the season opener is just days away. We will finally get our first glimpse of the 2012 Dallas Cowboys team this Wednesday vs the New York Football National Football Conference League Giants.
One of the great things about BTB is that we can share our opinions about our team, with it's
Owner FO and coaches included.
We all have guesses about how good this team will be this season, so why not share them?
To keep this thread organized and easy to read please post your record prediction and record prediction only as the Subject Line of your comment. Then in the Message portion share your reasoning. Feel free to compare and contrast last year's team versus this year's team as well as include stat predictions for key players.
If you believe this team goes to the playoffs, you can say "First round loss", "Super Bowl Win", etc.
ALSO: Please refrain from predicting records for the rest of the NFC East, this is meant to be a Cowboys Record only thread.
I don't think I need to go through the optimist, pessimist, and realist talk. Just put down what you honestly believe.
Please don't be a pansy, just put ONE record down (not a range), and why. The worst that will happen is that you'll be wrong, which can be a good or bad thing actually.

Revenues, operating income, net income and earnings before interest, depreciation & amortization and income tax expenses (EBITDA) reported by Buckeye Partners L.P. (NYSE:BPL) for 4Q12, 4Q11 and for 2010-2012 are summarized in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Figures in $ Millions, except million units outstanding
The decrease in 2012 revenues is primarily attributable to a $596 million decline in net sales volume for the Energy Services segment, which was partially offset by a significant revenue increase in the Pipelines & Terminals segment, as well as by increased storage revenue as a result of 1.9 million barrels of incremental storage capacity brought online at BORCO in the second half of 2012. Pipelines & terminals benefited primarily from the impact of recent acquisitions, including the assets acquired from BP and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) in mid-2011 and the Perth Amboy Facility acquired in the second half of 2012.
The favorable comparison of operating income and net income numbers for 2012 primarily results from a $170 million goodwill impairment charge for the Lodi acquisition in 3Q11. Also, as previously noted, 2012 results include partial contributions from Perth Amboy and the BORCO expansion, which are absent from the 2011 numbers.
Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by BPL's management to evaluate each business segment, overall performance, resource & capital allocation, and the viability of, and rates of return on, proposed projects. Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly in 2012 compared to 2011. Contributions to Adjusted EBITDA by segment are presented in Table 2 below:
Table 2: Figures in $ Millions
Management noted that improved 2012 operating performance as measured by Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a full period of operating activities for 2011 acquisitions, the benefit of contributions from growth capital spending and higher blending capabilities, particularly butane blending, in the Pipelines & Terminals segment, as well as increased storage capacity and customer utilization of the BORCO facility in the International Operations segment.
BPL's definition of Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF") and a comparison to definitions used by other master limited partnerships ("MLPs") are described in an article titled Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF"). Using that definition, DCF for 2012 was $393 million ($4.02 per unit), up from $319 million ($3.51 per unit) in 2011.
As always, I first attempt to assess how these DCF figures compare with what I call sustainable DCF for these periods and whether distributions were funded by additional debt or issuing additional units. Given quarterly fluctuations in revenues, working capital needs and other items, a review of trailing 12 months ("TTM") or annual numbers tends to be more meaningful than quarterly numbers for the purpose of analyzing changes in reported and sustainable distributable cash flows. However, I present both.
The generic reasons why DCF as reported by the MLP may differ from sustainable DCF are reviewed in an article titled Estimating sustainable DCF-why and how. Applying the method described there to RGP's results generates the comparison outlined in Table 3 below:
Table 3: Figures in $ Millions
The main differences between reported and sustainable DCF relate to working capital.
Under BPL's definition, reported DCF always excludes working capital changes, whether positive or negative. In contrast, as detailed in my prior articles, I generally do not include working capital generated in the definition of sustainable DCF but I do deduct working capital invested. Despite appearing to be inconsistent, this makes sense because in order to meet my definition of sustainability the master limited partnerships should, on the one hand, generate enough capital to cover normal working capital needs. On the other hand, cash generated from working capital is not a sustainable source and I therefore ignore it. Over reasonably lengthy measurement periods, working capital generated tends to be offset by needs to invest in working capital. I therefore do not add working capital consumed to net cash provided by operating activities in deriving sustainable DCF. Cash consumed by working capital accounts for $20 million of the $22 million variance between reported and sustainable DCF in 2012 vs. 2011.
Coverage ratios for are presented in Table 4 below:
Table 4 Figures in $ Millions (except Coverage Ratios)
While both reported and sustainable DCF increased in absolute terms in 4Q12 and 2012 vs. the comparable prior year periods, BPL continues to exhibit low coverage ratios. Management reported 1.32x distribution coverage for 4Q12 and 1.04x for 2012, but as previously noted this ignores having needed to provide $20-43 million of additional working capital. I believe it is more meaningful to look at coverage ratios over longer periods and not to back out of the sustainable DCF calculation investments required to be made in working capital.
I find it helpful to look at a simplified cash flow statement by netting certain items (e.g., acquisitions against dispositions) and by separating cash generation from cash consumption. Here is what I see for BPL:
Simplified Sources and Uses of Funds
Table 5: Figures in $ Millions
Table 5 indicates $16 million of net cash from operations remained in 2012 after deducting maintenance capital expenditures and distributions. The corresponding figure for 2011 was $11 million. In those periods, BPL did not fund distributions by issuing debt and/or equity. But unlike some of the other MLPs I cover, it has not generated a cash cushion of any meaningful amount.
BPL's current yield has come down significantly as a result of unit price appreciation since the 4th quarter of 2012. A comparison to some of the other MLPs I follow is shown in Table 6 below:
As of 04/19/13:
Quarterly Distribution
Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE:MMP)
Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA)
Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD)
Inergy (NRGY)
Targa Resources Partners (NYSE:NGLS)
El Paso Pipeline Partners (NYSE:EPB)
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE:KMP)
Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ)
Buckeye Partners
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (NYSE:BWP)
Regency Energy Partners (NYSE:RGP)
Suburban Propane Partners (NYSE:SPH)
Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP)
Table 6
BPL expects to spend a total of ~$330 million on expansion and cost reduction projects in 2013. As noted, BPL has not been generating excess cash which could help fund these capital expenditures and must therefore fund them with debt, equity or asset sales. It had only ~$7 million cash on the balance sheet and long-term debt that, at $2.7 billion, is already at 5.6x EBITDA and 4.9x Adjusted EBITDA as of 12/31/12. Given that, I believe it is likely BPL will issue additional equity, further diluting current limited partners. Otherwise I don't see how it can fund expansion projects in 2013. Sale of the Natural Gas Storage business will reduce the amount of equity required to be raised but management reports no progress on this front and it is not possible to predict whether, and at what price, a sale will occur.
Also still of concern is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) order of March 30, 2012, that disallowed proposed rate increases on the Buckeye System that would have become effective April 1, 2012. The proposed rate increases were expected to increase BPL's annual revenues (and, I presume, EBITDA) by approximately $8 million. But if forced to resort to FERC's generic rate setting mechanism, the adverse impact goes well beyond forgoing this increase and could have a substantial adverse affect on BPL because it would lower tariffs on pipelines that account for ~70% of BPL's revenues. Uncertainty remains even post the February 22, 2013 Ratemaking Methodology Order issued by FERC as to the impact on future changes to BPL's rates in markets outside the New York City market. In addition, the ultimate resolution of the complaint of certain airlines regarding jet fuel rates to the three major New York City area airports could impact rates to those destinations. This is a major issue overhanging BPL.
I held BPL units for many years and eliminated my position in light of the issues highlighted in my prior articles (for example, see article dated December 19, 2011, another article dated February 13, 2012, and a third article dated April 19, 2012). Thirty two consecutive quarterly increases in distributions per unit ended in 1Q12 with distribution unchanged at $1.0375 per unit. This has been the distribution level for the past 5 consecutive quarters. Despite positives such as a 6.8% yield and the absence of general partner incentive distribution rights, I am not currently considering reestablishing a position because of concerns discussed in this and prior articles. These include low distribution coverage, expensive acquisitions, past and prospective unitholder dilution, as well as the FERC risk.

Too many "adult" gamers are embarrassed (or whatever excuse they claim in place of embarrassment) to strut their game geekness in public or even to non-gamer friends and family! Everyone's has a right to keep their secrets. Still, I say grow a pair and help our hobby get the legitimacy it deserves.
Welcome to The Escapist, a web page devoted to the betterment of role-playing games and the education of the public and media of their benefits to society.
Tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons are an engaging and intellectually stimulating activity that promote teamwork, problem solving, and creative thinking. Even better, in hands of a parent, guardian, or educator, they can be a fantastic teaching tool.

Rated 2 out of 5�by camper sunny days only Fairly easy to set up and take down. I used it on my wind protected but sunny deck to get some shade and it worked great. Would be great to use on a sunny not windy day on the soccer field for some shade. The carrying bag isnt big enough to fit the canopy cover fabric back in very easily. Decided to use it camping and rain/wind came in overnight and bent the frame. Once the leg frame bent it is completely useless as it can no longer collapse down. August 27, 2014

Yeadon-based Epilepsy Action charity benefits from celebrity doodles
11:00am Tuesday 8th April 2014 in Local news
Doodles drawn by a host of Yorkshire celebrities have fetched hundreds of pounds for Yeadon-based charity Epilepsy Action.
Many of the region's famous faces, including Ricky Wilson, Alan Titchmarsh, Harold 'Dickie' Bird and Sir Michael Parkinson, all put pen to paper for National Doodle Day's celebrity auction on eBay.
Together they raised £667.63, with Kaiser Chief frontman Wilson's doodle of mice riding cats going for £169.
The ten-day national auction featured scribbles by more than 200 stars and raised £9,000 to help the 600,000 people living with epilepsy across the UK.
Philippa Cartwright, fundraising events manager at Epilepsy Action, said: "We are overwhelmed by the support from celebrities and members of the public."

E. Roger Mitchell has been cast as troublemaker Chaff in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Lionsgate announced today.
Who's Chaff?
From the Hunger Games wiki (Spoilers for those who would rather not know it all now):
Chaff was six feet tall, with dark skin, and an arm that ends with a stump because he lost his hand in the 45th Hunger Games. He chose not to get a prosthetic arm. He and Haymtich were friends, as they both turned to drinking after they won their games. During the reaping recaps, Effie Trinket commented that "Chaff never could stay out of a fight," implying that he had volunteered as tribute. Chaff would have been in his mid to late forties when he died. Specifically, in Catching Fire, Chaff was not seen much during the Games, and was probably hiding to stay alive and searching for Katniss as it was his mission to protect and rescue her so she could help the rebels defeat the Capitol. Unfortunately he could not locate neither her nor Peeta until the end of the 75th Games. While trying to protect Peeta, he was killed by Brutus, just as Katniss was rescued by the rebels. Shortly after, Peeta avenged Chaff's death by killing Brutus.
The 41-year old Mitchell has been active on screen since te late 1990s; most recently, he had roles in indie filmmaker Alfred Robbins The Next Day (a film we've profiled on S&A), The Crazies, Battle Los Angeles, and more. Coming up, you'll see him with Denzel Washington in Flight, this fall.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be released on November 22, 2013 - another year+ to go.

I'm happy for him, but he seems to be a bit young for the role. Good for him!
al | August 10, 2012 2:49 PM
I spoke to Roger less than an hour ago. We are all super excited for him. He's been my friend for 10 years and this could not happen to a nicer guy or better actor. For years we've been telling anyone who would listen about "Eraj" as an actor. I'm glad to see he's getting a major look. I believe it's just the beginning for him!!

Greetings and salutations Penn Staters! Family and friends are pouring into town on this glorious Friday for tomorrow's annual Spring scrimmage game (not to mention the debut of BOB). If you're looking for a last minute appetizer idea to take to tailgate, or not, try my recipes for homemade pita bread and hummus!
First, the homemade Pita Bread, is essential. Well, maybe not essential but certainly worth the 2 hours of almost NO EFFORT it takes to make it. Five minutes in the food processor and while the dough rises, you've got time to do something fun!
Then, we make the hummus. People who eat chick peas from cans, eat chick peas from cans, and people who soak and cook them from scratch have more fun. Once again, while they soak, which is well worth that 5 minute effort...
... you have time for some miscreant fun, and, don't forget the Red Solo Cups!!!
as always, these recipes can be found on jessedotsmom's foodie blog.
For the Glory,
Happy in Happy Valley!!!

Heckler & Koch-USA has launched a new competitive Shooting Team that marks HK's first entry into the competitive shooting sports organized by the USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) and related sport shooting groups.
"We're excited as this is our first major involvement in competitive
shooting in the USA at this level," said Mark Osborne, HK's Director of
Sales. "HK Germany has a European-based team but this is an opportunity for
HK-USA and our American team to showcase what they can do."
"One major advantage we have is that the HK guns our team members use don't
require much in the way of modification or tuning. Our team will be using
their P30L pistols pretty much right out of the box."
The team will be shooting standard production-grade HK P30L models as their
primary competitive pistols.
Koon came to competitive shooting after a background competing in archery
and bull riding. Starting as a junior shooter, he quickly became one of the
top five shooters in the U.S. His methodical, accuracy-based approach
allowed him to master competitive bulls eye shooting which ultimately
helped him transition into action pistol shooting. Koon holds several
national records and is a frequent winner of national, regional, and state
shooting championships across multiple types of shooting. Koon is notable
in his ability to compete in many different shooting sports at a high
Koon will serve as team captain. Outside of shooting, Koon is an avid
runner, enjoys boxing and Jiu Jitsu, and spending time with his family.
Aaron's parents discovered his love of shooting when they went to
pick him up at a week long Boy Scout camp and found out he had spent
every spare moment on the rifle range. He discovered IDPA in 1998 and
quickly became hooked on the action shooting sports. He achieved a
Master class ranking in IDPA and was subsequently introduced to USPSA,
NRA TPC, and 3 gun. He has won his class at multiple regional, area,
and National competitions. Aaron became a Law Enforcement officer in 2006,
is a firearms instructor, and is currently assigned to SWAT.
In addition
to being a shooter, Aaron is a CrossFit enthusiast and is extremely
excited about the upcoming birth of his first child.
Bill Munier began his competitive shooting career in 1997 competing
in sanctioned local, state, and regional USPSA pistol matches throughout
the southeast and nationally. Over the past 15 years, he has become
one of the top competitors in the sport with multiple state level
championship wins and area division titles in both USPSA and IDPA to
include being the current 2011 GA State Production Champion.
Bill holds the classification of Grand Master in the USPSA Production
Division and is an IDPA Stock Service Pistol and Custom Defensive
Pistol Master as well.
In addition to competing, he supports the
sport of practical shooting through mentoring new shooters and
regularly participating in local match officiating, stage design,
and construction. Bill also enjoys tactical rifle shooting in his
leisure time.
John first began shooting competitively while in the Air Force.
After leaving the military, he transitioned into law enforcement
where he currently serves as a deputy sheriff, helicopter pilot
and lead firearms instructor at his agency. John holds a master
classification in three USPSA divisions, and has finished in the
top 16 at the US Nationals.
John enjoys running, 3-Gun, and spending

Maria is a graduate student at Florida State University where she is studying Criminal Justice. During her freshman year of college, the presence of a stalker led her to discover a passion for martial arts and competition. She currently holds the rank of first Degree black belt as well as a instructor certification. Maria's activities and interests include competitive martial arts, semi-contact kickboxing, shooting, trail running, and hot yoga. Like martial arts, shooting sports constantly challenges her in a unique way and presents endless opportunities to grow in proficiency and skill with her firearm, the HK P30L. A few of Maria's personal objectives include shooting 3-Gun at a professional level, achieving the rank of 5th degree black belt, and completing my Masters degree.

Sandy relief efforts need less goods, more bodies
DAVID KENE Special to the AmNews | 12/6/2012, 2:07 p.m.
It's been 30-plus days since Hurricane Sandy hit. For families still facing the recovery efforts, guess what victuals they need today and again tomorrow. Water? More food? Try again.
While it may seem that water and food top the "must have" items list, Mark A. Torres, chair of People Power Movement-Movimiento Poder Popular (PPM-MPP), while aiding families recovering in Brooklyn's Red Hook and Coney Island sections, was told to bring something else: soap.
"I was surprised when I met people in Coney Island," said Torres to AmNews. "They told me they had received plenty of water and food and needed stuff like baggies of toothpaste and soap and disinfectant--the stuff to make them feel human again."
Upon hearing the request for soap and hygienic products, Torres rushed to the nearest store, a Conway, which surprisingly donated some of the items.
Soap and toothpaste for families still fighting to survive Sandy with their dignity intact seems like a no-brainer, except for the fact that in times of crisis, it actually takes some thought to provide thoughtful aid. With stories of how successful relief efforts have been, as shared by members of groups like Occupy Sandy, providing thoughtful aid may come easiest from a caring neighbor.
"We have a member, Maria Reyes, who lives in Red Hook. She began reaching out to her neighbors," said Torres. "Then during the gas shortage, our group decided to stock our bikes with goods and ride from Harlem to Red Hook, stopping along the way in places like Chinatown. Heard of the Ho Chi Minh trail? We were inspired by it."
Torres, who says his group is mainly involved in helping people in public housing recover, can't quantify how much in time or resources his two-year-old group has given in the recovery efforts since they began helping in early November, but he says he's personally shelled out nearly $400 in cash to buy vitals like generators and batteries and the little stuff that often goes overlooked.
Another volunteer relief leader, Brother Shep Olugbala, added to the list of commonly overlooked items with something that seems simple enough: a can opener.
"You'd be surprised the number of canned goods that are donated without can openers. Without a can opener, most of all those canned goods are no good."
That's why the organization Olugbala runs, the People's Survival Program (PSP), takes a different approach to relief.
"We train neighbors to train each other, following the 'each one, teach one' model," he said.
These community efforts by Sandy victims to rebuild by organizing seems to be the next phase of the recovery, presenting a stark contrast to the bulk of government contrac tors scrambling in response to Sandy and the destruction left in its wake. According to New York state executive statements, the cost of the storm is almost $42 billion and includes $15 billion in damages and future protection costs just in New York City.
Earlier this week on Monday, in an update regarding recovery efforts, Govs. Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie issued a joint statement that read: "New York and New Jersey sustained remarkable, widespread damage to homes, infrastructure, businesses and our economies as a whole from Hurricane Sandy. The two states represent a combined regional and national economic powerhouse, with intersecting and overlapping interests in terms of our local economies, U.S. and world financial markets, transit and highway infrastructure and tourism.

The Goshen College softball team is off to a slow start so far in 2012-13. The Maple Leafs went 0-10 on a recent trip to Florida.
But for fifth-year head coach Lee Mast, the trip was about playing high-level competition to get his team ready for a hectic Crossroads League slate that starts later this month.
The Crossroads schedule features 18 games in less than 30 days.
Two league teams, Indiana Wesleyan (No. 24) and Marian (receiving votes) were garnering preseason accolades from NAIA poll voters.
Mast thinks his team can be part of the conversation as the season rolls on.
"We want to be fighting for a spot in the top four in the conference," Mast said. "We have the personnel that I think we can do that and the kids think that it is very possible."
Five of the games on the recent Florida trip were against teams ranked in the preseason NAIA poll, with another four against programs in the South that were already deep into their seasons.
On the week, Ame Blankenship led the Maple Leafs with a .417 batting average, going 10-for-24. Sophomore Savannah Hippensteel batted .333 with two home runs and a team-high five RBIs, while Meyer had seven steals in nine attempts.
Despite the lack of wins on the trip, Mast saw some positives.
Improved defense is one of those positives and Mast is hoping that defense will keep his team in games as the pitching and offense come along.
Experience and youth
Position-wise, the lineup will be a mixture of experience and youth. On the left side of the infield, Anderson University transfer and former Northridge standout Kerri Doutlick, a sophomore, will share time with junior Christine Stubblefield.
Stubblefield struggled with the injury bug last season, but was still able to lead the Maple Leafs in walks with 12 and finish with a .321 on-base percentage.
Doutlick, meanwhile, batted .407 her senior season for the Raiders and was a two-time All-NLC selection.
Doutlick will be reunited with a former teammate in the infield as former Northridge standout Brittany Wingard takes over shortstop duties for the Maple Leafs.
Wingard helped lead the Raiders to a 30-2 record and an appearance in the semistate finals last season, earning second-team All-State honors.
Sophomore Sam Langley saw action in just four games in 2012 before seeing her season ended by an injury, but is back strong in 2013 and could share time at second base with senior Jana Beitler.
Beitler batted .278 in 2012, scored 20 runs and led the Maple Leafs with eight sacrifices.
At first base, a pair of sluggers will platoon. Blankenship hit .248 with 17 RBIs in 2012, while sophomore Savannah Hippensteel led Goshen with four homers and 24 RBIs.
In the outfield, a familiar face to area softball fans returns to anchor that group. Sophomore Melanie Meyer, a Concord product, had an outstanding freshman season in 2012, batting .318 with six doubles, three triples, two homers, 16 RBIs and a school-record 16 stolen bases. That was good for No. 8 in the country last season.
Meyer will again lead off for Goshen. The other two outfield spots are still in flux. Freshmen Morgan Owens and Morgan Chilton will both see time in right. Wingard could also see time in right, and other outfield possibilities include sophomore Danielle Kerschhacki,freshmen Kourtney Mueller and Abby Flickner.
The catcher position has been very stable the past few seasons as senior Kelsey Morris has logged 117 games there over the past three seasons. A career .287 hitter, Morris has 19 career doubles, five homers, and 51 RBIs. Also good with the glove and arm, Morris has thrown out 28 runners in her career, including a career-high 13 a year ago.

The Lapeer County Sheriff's department is searching for a fugitive in the Mayville and Marlette areas who is accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend.
The search began when deputies were called to Marlette Regional Medical Center after a person was assaulted and left on life support.
Authorities said Jesse James Carey, 24, from Mayville, placed a tree across Marlette Road near Maple Grove Road. Carey's former girlfriend, age 23, from Fostoria, was with her current boyfriend, a 24-year-old from Silverwood. When the couple stopped their vehicle to move the tree, Carey ambushed the current boyfriend striking him multiples times with an object.
Following the attack, Carey fled on foot and after extensive efforts, authorities could not find him. The victim has been transferred to Covenant Hospital in Saginaw where he remains on life support.
Police believe Carey is within the Mayville or Marlette area. A criminal arrest warrant for assault with intent to murder, a felony punishable by life or any numbers of years if he's convicted, was issued Nov. 13.
In addition, there are active arrest warrants for Carey out of the Tuscola County Sheriff's Office for resisting and obstructing and Michigan State Police Lapeer Regional Post for assault.
If anyone knows Carey's whereabouts, they are asked to contact 911 immediately.
Individuals with information can contact the Lapeer County Sheriff's Office at 810-664-1801 (extension 2451) or Lapeer County Central Dispatch at 810-667-0292.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A Ridgeland-based mortgage broker and two associates have been found guilty of obtaining about $9 million in fraudulent home loans.
Fifty-4-year-old Mark Calhoun, owner of Silver Cross Financial Group, was found guilty Monday on 36 of 38 counts.
His associates, 69-year-old J. Larry Kennedy and his son, 45-year-old Keith Kennedy, who operated Loan Closings and Title Services Inc. of Jackson, were convicted on all counts.
U.S. District Judge Dan Jordan allowed the three to remain free on bond until sentencing. They face up to 100 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors said that from September 2004 through July 2006, Calhoun and others recruited people to purchase homes as investors for the purpose of immediately leasing the property to other tenants.

Paradise Lost: The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway
Sand, Sun, and Surf
During the last week of May 2005, 125 teenagers from the graduating class of Mountain Brook High School, an affluent suburb just outside Birmingham, Alabama, flew to the Caribbean island of Aruba for a week of fun in the sun.
On Monday morning, May 30, the last day of the trip, 124 of the former high school seniors gathered in the lobby of the Holiday Inn in the town of Oranjestad for the drive to the airport.
One teen was missing, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway.
Natalee's friends had last seen her around one o'clock in the morning outside Carlos 'N Charlie's, a popular island nightspot. She had been seen climbing into a gray Honda Civic with three young men. At least one of Natalee's friends shouted at her not to go and told her to come back into the bar. She yelled back that she would be all right. A moment later the car pulled away and disappeared into the night.
That was a little more than two years ago and none of Natalee's friends or family have seen her since.

November 9, 2013
Earlier this year, President Obama asked how one might weigh the "tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo." But as tragic and devastating as the Congo conflict is, Congolese are not asking for the United States – or the international community – to militarily intervene.

U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe spoke at a National Postal Forum in San Francisco on March 18, prompting picketing by rank and file postal employees and their supporters. Protestors opposed Donahoe's support for post office closures and layoffs of USPS (U.S. Postal Service) workers. The demonstration was part of a week of actions called for by Communities and Postal Workers United .

"Former political prisoner Dhoruba Bin Wahad recently penned an excellent essay breaking down what's going on in Mali, Congo and the Middle East. He also challenged the type of stances many of us have taken with respect to these regions that are embroiled in conflict. To support his essay, we interviewed him so he can expand upon his analysis. In true form, Dhoruba pulled no punches. Peep what he has to say."
December 19, 2012
The Obama administration was on the defensive about the U.S. relationship with Rwanda and its U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice at the Dec. 11, 2012, U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Two days after the hearing, Rice withdrew her name from consideration to become secretary of state. In President Obama's statement on Susan Rice, issued the same day, he praised her work but did not mention Rwanda, Uganda or Congo.
December 5, 2012
Over the last 16 years, more than 6 million lives have been lost in Congo – and the major perpetrators of those atrocities have been U.S. allies Rwanda and Uganda. The majority of victims have been children under the age of 5. Subsequent U.S. administrations have provided aid to the Rwandan and Ugandan regimes. The U.S. remains one of the top two donors of aid to Rwanda today.

This morning Israel ended an effective truce with armed groups in Gaza and carried out the extrajudicial execution of Ahmed al-Jabari, the commander of the military wing of Hamas. Israeli attacks today killed at least seven people, including two young girls in Gaza. Defense Minister Avi Dichter calls for "Defensive Shield"-like devastation and killing.
July 27, 2012
On Saturday, July 21, 2012, the United States officially announced that it was withholding $200,000 in military aid from the Rwandan government. Although a materially insignificant sum, the symbolism has serious implications for Rwanda's image and reputation in the global community.

We need an international movement to free Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. Her case is important to African people all over the continent and in the Diaspora and to all of us, all people. The weight on Victoire's shoulders is that of resource war, the ongoing wars for the world's natural resources that threaten to destroy the whole planet.

Libya is a small country of just over 6 million people, but it possesses the largest oil reserves in all of Africa. The oil produced there is especially coveted because of its particularly high quality. The Air Force of the United States along with Britain and France has carried out 7,459 bombing attacks since March 19. Britain, France and the United States sent special operation ground forces and commando units to direct the military operations of the so-called rebel fighters – it is a NATO-led army in the field.


text: Gotta love the pitching this series. Through the sixth inning today (tied 1-1), not counting the Dodgers' pitching yesterday (14.63 ERA, I believe), the teams have combined for 7 runs in 56 innings (1.13 ERA). The Braves have given up 4 runs in 33 innings (1.09 ERA), the Dodgers have given up 3 runs in 23 innings (1.17 ERA). And the first game was a 1-0 nailbiter, the second a 2-1 duel, and the fourth is a 1-1 deadlock. By the way, the Dodgers finally scored their first run this series on a hit.

I know Aykis just did a piece asking us who he thought the starting line up would be and it seems the majority of us here believe it will be Thomas, Evans, Johnson, Thompson, Cousins. (it also seems a respectable amount of us think Robinson might get Thompson's spot). However my question is, as of right now, who do you feel comfortable closing out games with?
I know many of you will say it depends on match ups, or perhaps even momentum, but right now, overall, what players would you feel most comfortable out there playing? I think its tough because I think we can all agree we want Marcus Thornton out there at the end, but at the expense of who? Evans? or do we move Evans to the 3 and take out our best defender in James Johnson? Or do we put Reke at the one and take out Isaiah Thomas (or maybe Brooks) and possibly sacrifice the ball movement in our offense? , Im not even sure what I think yet, so thats why i pose this question to you guys.
(I think our bigs right now should be Thompson and Cousins until Robinson can prove otherwise and claim Thompsons spot )

The world is better off with Best Buy alive than dead
Brooke Crothers)
Despite all the flak Best Buy gets from consumers and financial analysts, the world is probably a better place with it than without it.
For those who don't follow Best Buy as a business, existential questions have been dogging it for years. The word "Titanic" often comes up.
Not all that surprising, considering brick-and-mortar electronics retail stalwarts CompUSA and Circuit City have all but disappeared.
Here's what the new CEO, Hubert Joly, said Friday during the earnings conference call, via a transcript provided by Seeking Alpha.
"In fiscal '13, we permanently closed 49 large-format stores and expected to close an additional 5 to 10 large-format stores in fiscal 2014."
That's a lot of store closings.
"People who thought we were dead have to go through the painful process of revisiting that point of view," Mr. Joly told The Wall Street Journal on Friday.
I've wondered many times if my regular weekly visit to the local Best Buy would be my last. And still do.
But I like knowing the store is there.
Best Buy is really the only electronics specialty store besides Fry's Electronics (mostly a West Coast phenomenon) that packs lots of PCs, Macs,
tablets, and phones into relatively small abutting areas, allowing you to easily comparison shop.
And Best Buy carries a good cross section of the most popular gadgets. It had Microsoft's Surface tablet pretty soon after the device came out, despite some initial display hiccups (see photo below), and it has a decent stock of
Windows 8 touch-screen laptops and tablets,
Android stuff, and of course Apple products.
Of course, there's plenty to complain about. But those same gripes apply to Fry's and to just about any big box electronics retailer that's ever existed, including Circuit City and CompUSA.
What's ahead for Best Buy? Who knows? But Apple stores and now Microsoft's expanding retail presence aren't making it any easier. And during Friday's call, Best Buy executives kept talking about expanding/improving the store's online presence.
Problem is, online is often the last gasp for physical big box retailers.

Video: Kevin Garnett Retaliates After Atlanta Owner Calls Him 'Dirtiest Guy In The League'
It doesn't take much to rile up the NBA's version of Ghostface Killah, Kevin Garnett. After his first basket last night in Boston's Game 6 win over the Hawks, he was already stringing together expletives, and using them in every way possible: as nouns, adjectives and probably even verbs. After the Old Ticket finished the night with 26 points and 14 rebounds, he led off his presser with a shot at Atlanta owner, Michael Gearon Jr. Read More »

I've been writing for Unfinished Man for quite some time now, and through the course of my time here, one thing has remained constant; the never ending deluge of emails from readers and staff members alike asking me to post up more skin, and to stop blathering so much every once in a while. Well, I've finally taken that to heart. Starting today – and continuing every Wednesday – I'm going to post up eight photos of the adult variety, because eight is a lucky number. Less talking, and no more messing around.
This weeks edition of Hump Day Hotties features a number of, well… I don't even know how to describe this selection. I started looking around for interesting material, and was quickly struck by the amount of hilariously weird and awkward shots floating around on Google+. Honestly, I didn't even have to try for these ones!
Weirdness Edition 01
Like I said, I don't even know. I hope you enjoyed this wonderful collection of climbing, music creation, and breakfast foods. All credit goes to the original authors; people who may or may not be sick and twisted individuals.
If you have any suggestions for next weeks edition of Hump Day Hotties, send me an email or leave a comment below!

Oatlands Park, Near Weybridge, Surrey, c1909. On the right, we can see the premises of Henry Shaw, 'Draper and Clothier' (according to the 1911 census). The shop appears to be closed so the photograph may have been taken on early closing day (probably Wednesday) or a Sunday. Note the magnificent lamps outside the shop and the lady looking at the photographer from an upstairs window. The postcard was posted in March 1910 to a Mr J.E.K. Walter in Gracechurch Street, London, with the simple message 'What do you think of this? G. C.'.
