I remember the days when IT admins so tightly locked down PC permissions that users couldn't change a printer setting, let alone install their own choice of applications. Of course, just 10 years ago, there weren't a whole lot of small specialized apps and there certainly weren't all the cloud apps we have today. Employees don't think they need permission to work smarter by installing apps like Dropbox on their computer. While users are more empowered than ever and have access to new productivity tools every day, an IT nightmare has been created -- rogue apps on the network. It might be worse than you think.

Hiring In The IT Channel: Finding People With The Right Skills Is Just The Beginning
Recently, I was having lunch with the CEO of an IT security company and we were talking about what she really needs in IT staff. "Let me tell you what I don't need," she said. "I don't need somebody who will work 9:00 to 5:00 and go home thinking that his or her day is done. I don't need somebody who is going to hide behind a computer. What I do need are people who will give everything they have to my company and my end clients."

CBS Evening News Skips Liberal Label of Huffington Post
On Monday's CBS Evening News, as anchor Katie Couric read a short item on AOL's purchase of the left-wing Huffington Post Web site, she neglected to mention the ideological lean of the Web site as she merely called it "one of the leading news Web sites."
NBC's Brian Williams did tag the Web site as "liberal" as he also read a an item on the acquisition. Williams: "A big payday for Arianna Huffington as AOL becomes the new owner of Huffington Post, the liberal Web site she created six years ago."
ABC's World News, which devoted much of its program to anchor Diane Sawyer's interview with former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, did not mention the deal.
By contrast, as previously documented by NewsBusters, it was NBC's Today show which ealrier in the day neglected to use an ideological label to describe the Huffington Post while ABC's Good Morning America and CBS's The Early Show did note the Web site's liberal lean.
Below are complete transcripts of the items read on both the CBS Evening News and the NBC Nightly News from Monday, February 7:
#From the CBS Evening News:
KATIE COURIC: In other business news, AOL's got the Huffington Post. As AOL tries again to reinvent itself in the post-dial-up era, it announced today it will pay $315 million for one of the leading news Web sites. AOL is hoping to pick up post readers and boost ad revenue. Post founder Arianna Huffington will take control of AOL's editorial content.
#From the NBC Nightly News:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: A big payday for Arianna Huffington as AOL becomes the new owner of Huffington Post, the liberal Web site she created six years ago. It's now a sprawling online media property with over 20 separate sections. Purchase price, $315 million. The deal puts Huffington in charge of all AOL's editorial properties on the Web. AOL, one of the Web trail blazers, has been struggling of late in the Google era.

To be fair, Couric was being

To be fair, Couric was being honest. In Couric's mind, the HuffPo is just a middle of the road, centrist "leading news web site."
I think it was Bernie Goldberg who said it best, to paraphrase...These libs in the media hang out with so many like minded left leaning people, they start thinking that they are the center.
He tells of a story that when Nixon won in a 49 state landslide, some dimwitted elitist was so shocked because she didn't "know anyone who voted for Nixon."
That is our Katie!

Liberals and 'The Rich'
Submitted by Slyrr on Tue, 02/08/2011 - 11:04am.
Someone must take Ms. Huffnpuff to task on this. She's a liberal. Yet she's reported to be 'ecstatic' that she has personally pocketed nearly $20 million bucks from this deal.
Check it: Liberals, for decades, have been railing against 'the rich'. The rich are evil. They are heartless, greedy monsters who drink the blood of the poor and feast on their flesh. The rich are demons from the pits of hell, and liberals have screamed, screeched and frothed that 'the rich' must be punished. The rich must be forced by the government, at the point of a bayonet, to pay tyrannical taxes as punishment for having all that money. Liberals say 'the rich' don't need all that money - that they should be glad to pay sky-high taxes and be shackled with laws to punish them.
Well - Ms. Huffnpuff is now one of 'the rich'.
If she is a true liberal, if she REALLY believes all the garbage she and her like minded friends have been vomiting from their foul mouths all these years - then her path is clear.
She must give away all this money to the federal government. Every penny of this $18 mil she got from the deal she must now immediately surrender to the Feds. After all - she's rich. She doesn't 'need' that money. She's part of the problem - she IS 'the rich'. Instead of being ecstatic about having all this money, she should be filled with loathing and hatred for herself. This money is, after all, something to be despised. And it's not hers really - she should be eager and glad to give it away to the government so that the goverment can use it to do.... whatever it is that they do.
So Ms. Huffnpuff: You want to be a good little liberal woman? You want to be a leader? Lead by example. Give away all that money. Every penny. Write out one lump sum check to the IRS and send it to them with a note that says, 'I, Arianna Huffington, am sorry that I earned this money. I have no right to it, and to keep myself from being rich I hereby surrender it to the government - who are the rightful owners.'
Then to the right liberal thing and go live in a mud hut or a wigwam, and eat nothing but grass and tree bark. After all, you don't need mansions or limos or any of that stuff. It's evil too, right? Carbon footprints and global warming and all that, right? You want to be part of the solution, don't you? To be a good little liberal who lives by all that liberal religious dogma? You want to prove that those aren't just empty words you've been vomiting, don't you?
Give it away, Ms Huffington - every penny. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite and you have no right to tell anyone else what they 'should do' with their money. And you have no right to influence lawmakers either.

The possibility of storms is our top story on this Christmas night.... As the same line of severe weather that battered Texas...and spawned *this* tornado...caught on a live evening newscast earlier in downtown Mobile Alabama... Makes its way east.
Good evening, everyone.
I'm Frank Malloy.
Leah Johnson has the night off.
We're getting right to our weather tonight with meteorologist John Boyer, tracking things in the weather center.
John, we have a tornado watch for a couple of counties in our area right now...
Let's take another look at that footage from downtown Mobile.

Good evening, everyone.
I'm Frank Malloy.
Leah Johnson has the night off.
We're getting right to our weather tonight with meteorologist John Boyer, tracking things in the weather center.
John, we have a tornado watch for a couple of counties in our area right now...
Let's take another look at that footage from downtown Mobile.
The National Weather Service has yet to officially call it a twister, but you can see the formation in this picture.
It has the shape of a funnel cloud...and you can see sparks of electricity clearly captured on camera.
This actually struck during a live newscast from TV station WALA.
The city's fire department tweeted that there are reports of downed power lines and tree limbs as well as damage at a high school.
At least two possible tornadoes touched down in Texas bringing strong winds.
One person was killed in Tomball in metro Houston, crushed by a falling tree.
You can see in this video fallen trees are blocking this roadway.
In Oklahoma, nasty weather snarled holiday travel.
A pileup involving 21 vehicles, including three big rigs, shut down Interstate 40-West, outside Oklahoma City.
State police say freezing rain is the likely cause of the chain-reaction crashes on an overpass.
About 10 people were taken to the hospital.
Some facts tonight...from the National Weather Service, which says Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida are the most likely states to have tornado events around this time of year. That's based on both historical statistics and climatology. The last time a number of tornadoes impacted the Gulf Coast area around Christmas Day was in 2009, when 22 tornadoes occurred during the morning of December 24th. In 60 years there have been two EF4-rated tornadoes on Christmas Eve, one in 1982 in Arkansas, the other in 1988 in Tennessee. The last killer tornado around Christmas was a Christmas Eve F4 in Tennessee in 1988, killing one person and injuring 7.
Back in 1964,14 tornadoes--three of them F3's---hit Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia--over a two day period on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There were two deaths in Central Georgia; about 30 people injured...with a lot of damage around Milledgeville.
Sad news tonight... As the military identifies a Georgia contractor who was killed in Afghanistan.
Officials say 49-year-old Joseph Griffin of Newton County was shot at a police station in Kabul.
Griffin was a military veteran, who reportedly worked with law-enforcement agencies in the U.S.
He was in Kabul advising police forces.
Police say Griffin was killed by an Iranian woman who came to Afghanistan ten years ago and obtained a fake I-D through her husband.
Although she was in the country illegally, officials say they haven't found any militant connections to the attack.
For those who have served abroad, particularly during times of war... Christmas can make separation from loved ones harder than ever.
So for decades, the U.S.O. has committed itself to bringing touches of home to those men and women away during the holidays.
But as Bill Liss from our Gannett sister station, WXIA, explains...one tradition at Atlanta's airport didn't happen as usual this year, and USO Volunteers say, that's all right with them.
Troops deploying for war.
On Christmas Day, more than 400 at a time crowding into a festive USO lounge before most of them lined the balcony at the USO, then ceremonially crossing the Hartsfield Jackson Atrium with children and families in tow--hearing resounding cheers and shouts of thanks.
Its happened every year since 2003.
But now a dramatic change.
<its the first christmas day in 9 years that no troops are marching across the Atrium at Hartsfield Jackson on their way to the combat zones of Afghanistan>
Empty military checkin counters, an empty balcony over the Atrium and a near empty USO--a sure sign the war is winding down, but it has not deterred a corps of volunteers from laying out a full course Christmas banquet for any military personnel stopping by.
<we have the chefs here. We have gifts for the troops and for military children we have gifts. it's a wonderful atmosphere so for any military we're here and always will be>
And so will Santa--Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jackson Bedford.
<i was deployed over a Thanksgiving and a Christmas. I was flying off a carrier off of the coast of North Vietnam and so I know how it feels to be away from home.>
A feeling shared by Army Private Peter Ryan transiting to a base and facing deployment to Afghanistan.
<you think about family back celebrating christmas and they are worried about you and just as much as you are worried about them and what they are doing>
<i am thinking about my mom more than anything. My mom wants me gome so its hard not being home with my mom>
Deployments are expected to pick up in January as the steady rotation of military personnel will continue in and out of Afghanistan through 2014.
From the USO at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Bill Liss, 11Alive News.
A soldier and his dog had been separated for almost a year... But the two were reunited just in time for the holidays.
More than 20 volunteers helped transport the 2-year-old boxer named rowdy from Colorado back to his owner, Sergeant Kevin Maine.
Rowdy moved to Colorado with Maine's ex wife early this year, but when she asked Maine to take Rowdy back, he didn't have the leave time or money to make the trip.
His mom Kathy Smith reached out and found the Kindred Hearts Transport Group, a network of people who drove Rowdy across several states.
Maine says it's all he wanted for Christmas.
<"to separate a man from his dog is like taking his best friend away it's going to be nice to have him home... To come home to everyday to meet you at the door with his tail wagging."
"so many christmases i've had to send care packages to iraq so it's important to me to just have my son home but I think for Kevin it's important to have his dog back that's the only thing he asked for, for christmas.">
Kevin Maine is an active duty army sergeant stationed at Fort Benning. He's had two deployments to Iraq.
Today may be Christmas...but tomorrow...nonprofit Kids Yule love will make sure Santa comes for a Macon family touched by a very unhappy surprise this morning.
Brittany Hadley and her five god-children were visiting relatives when she got the call...that her home had been totally destroyed by fire.
And along with her house and possessions, the Christmas presents Hadley was planning to give the kids.
Investigators still aren't sure was caused the fire at her Hazel Street address... But Hadley isn't letting the uncertainty...and the loss of property destroy her holiday spirit.
<From the looks of it, everything is that I own is gone now, so I just try to count my blessings and thank God that I still have me versus my items, and I feel like I just have to count every day as a blessing versus the material things.>
Kids Yule Love...plans to donate new presents in the morning.

Police are releasing new details about man accused of killing of two firefighters in upstate New York.
They say he set a Christmas Eve fire in Webster, New York, that burned seven homes to the ground, including his own.
But police say William Spengler wanted to do much more damage, leaving a note behind saying he wanted to destroy the neighborhood and kill people.
As they fought the fire, the 62-year-old shot at firefighters from a nearby bank - he killed two of them - before taking his own life.
Police found his note and 3 guns - including a bushmaster rifle - similar to the weapon used in the Connecticut school shooting..
He served 17 years in prison and after being released moved in with his sister.
Investigators found a body in the charred rubble of Spegler's home - and believe it could be his sister's.
Newtown police officers have been working around the clock since the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
So today... Some of their colleagues...officers from other towns...gave them the gift of time with their families.
Neighboring forces patrolled Newtown...while all the city's police men and women got the day off.
The Newtown officers say coping with the tragedy has been hard...but help from other brothers-in-arms has lightened the load.
<"To look out and to see all these guys I never knew before, but they're cops and they came to help us and to aid us and not just with the day to day stuff but to help us heal and ask us how we're doing. Those agencies, I can't give a big enough thank you to.">
Even the chief of police from the nearby town of Shelton pulled a shift today.
He came to Newtown to help with administrative duties.
A Boston Police officer is being called a hero after he jumped into freezing water to rescue a woman.
Edward Norton is an 11 year veteran of the force.
He spotted a woman alone, screaming, and barely hanging onto a raft in the Fort Point Channel.
Bystanders say...Officer Norton didn't hesitate before pulling of his coat, unbuckling his gun belt, and jumping in to save her, splashing into the 40 degree water.
He caught a life ring another officer threw him, and took 38 strokes to reach her.
Norton's body temperature dropped to 90 degrees by the time he reached an ambulance.
He and the woman were treated for hypothermia.
The so-called biggest Christmas Day 5k in the USA was held today in St Paul, Minnesota.
There are only two other continuing Christmas Day run/walks in the whole country, and this St Paul event prides itself on being the one closest to the North Pole.

And another one bites the dust…
Posted by: asunder In: Announcements
Earlier this week, I got word that our translator for Hourou Musuko ("Usagi-chan" ) is retiring asap …
What is it about summer and translators retiring ?? Anyway, We wish him luck and all that jazz.
Contrary to my previous blag comment, It appears now that we will not be continuing Hourou Musuko/Wandering Son… (unless a new translator magically appears out of thin air.)
Other project tidbits/updates:
Amagami ep 26 – "Usagi-chan" was also translating this series…so we need a kind soul to finish the BD special episode.
Sunred – waiting on our borrowed translator to finish up some frostii stuff before he tackles the last two episodes. /me keeps his fingers crossed.
Dragon Quest – Expect ep 08 soon ™
Other stuff – some more stuff in the pipeline, hopefully a few more surprise releases before my own quasi-retirement.

We are not being told the whole story.
85 people in the US and 71 in the Caribbean died as repercussions of Hurricane Sandy last week and the country scrambled to get crying songstresses on TV to raise relief funds.
6 million people have died as repercussions of the slave-driven mineral trade in the Congo since 1996 and it remains unregarded by the main stream media of the United States and other first world nations. It's not just a mix of racism, geographical distance, weariness of 'poor Africa', and the idea of helplessness that keeps this out of the news, but economic and political repercussions that come from disparaging US foreign policy and corporate clout.
The United States has two very strong allies in Rwanda and Uganda (for whom much of GDP is hustled conflict minerals), so strong that the US is building up a new military base in Rwanda. In an age where most of the major news networks are conglomerated into the hands of a few people, who might have interests in seeing that the purveyors of telecommunications and technology view them favorably and vice versa, I do not think it is a wild conspirator's imagination that dreams up the idea that perhaps public awareness of the conflict in the Congo is so low because it is not in the interest of policy-makers, industry, or the economy for the public to care.
Let us imagine a scenario in which there was widespread public knowledge of the conflict:
- Public dismay, especially on the part of women's groups, African Americans, and human rights activists
- Push for the end of foreign aid to Rwanda and Uganda and rejection of any affirmative ties
- Shorter funds for militia
- Puts new US military base plans in jeopardy
- Boycotts on new technology without certified sources
- Supply chain loopholes form as exporters get creative
- Push for more UN peacekeepers to protect citizens
- Higher prices for cell phones, computers, flatscreen televisions, and most technology
- Higher overhead for businesses and government (including schools)
Are circuit-board minerals the new oil? Have we based a society on cheap access to incredible labor-reducing technology again? What happens when pressure is put on our supply of that resource? In August the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to require companies to publicly disclose their use of conflict minerals that originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country.
"The SEC initially estimated the conflict minerals regulation would cost companies $71.2 million, but Reuters recently quoted an SEC official's estimate that it will cost $3 billion to $4 billion. The National Association of Manufacturers has put the cost far higher, at $9 billion to $16 billion." According to Treasury and Risk.
Surely manufacturer's will take their lumps and not pass this on to consumers... when it starts raining gold. This is just the beginning. This legislation only says they have to disclose if their minerals come from the Congo, Uganda, or Rwanda. This legislation is a cursory nod to human rights groups. It says nothing about Turkey or any other other major mineral-trading centers on the way to manufacturers in Asia. Think about how disorganized and crooked the electronics recycling business is in the US and then imagine how outlaw that would go in a series of undeveloped nations with even less accountability if there were real money to be made. To keep the cost of technology down traders and exporters will engineer all sorts of shenanigans so that our labels could say conflict-free. It's only a bandaid to the bleeding wound of the Congo. It doesn't stop the problem at the source and it will only serve to wipe the blood off the labels for the consumers eyes, so we can feel empowered and guilt-free about that new iPhone with the revolutionary new headphone jack on the bottom, not the top like the last one.
Harping on about conflict-free supply chains is not going to stem the tide, it will only shield our eyes. I believe the Dear Hillary campaign is a good start, thus I have registered Champlain College Environmental Policy as a chapter of the Dear Hillary Campaign for the Congo and ordered 250 postcards from them.
I believe the best start, however, is spreading knowledge of the conflict, the conspiracy, and the causes. I would advocate a short speech to Globalization and Technology CORE classes, as well as Capitalism and Democracy classes for a start.
I have uncontrollable thoughts that like to linger on the idea that we are Rome and Africa is once again our resource-cursed outpost of economic imperialism (like most less-developed nations are to the US these days) and that we use our alliance with Rwanda and Uganda to maintain the status quo so we can continue to import cheaply and keep our citizens content with bread and circus.

Providing Refreshing Water with a Bottleless Water Dispenser
Major cities across the United States have passed bans that prevent government offices from purchasing bottled water. Government offices and businesses that wish to reduce environmental waste, save money, and provide safe drinking water to employees can purchase a bottleless water dispenser. A bottleless water dispenser is a cost effective, environmentally friendly, and sanitary way to provide employees with access to cool, refreshing water. These bottleless water coolers provide the same quality water as bottled water at a fraction of the cost. Bacteria can contaminate drinking water, which can have fatal consequences. The inventor of the first drinking fountain Halsey Taylor discovered when her father passed away from complications due to contaminated drinking water. Many employers are installing a bottleless water cooler in the office for sanitary reasons and in the hopes of avoiding contaminated drinking water. A recent research group discovered that traditional filtered water coolers that are bottle equipped have four times the government recommended amount of bacteria and germs on them. A bottleless filtered water cooler or bottleless water dispenser does not have such a high bacteria or germ count. Another reason employers are switching to a point of use water cooler is the quality of water. Companies that purchased bottled water discovered the quality of that water is the exact same as municipal tap water. Of course, that is because over half of all bottled water is really just bottled tap water. Using a bottleless water dispenser provides employers with the opportunity to provide fresh, cool drinking water that is of a higher quality than bottled water.

I know we Raider fans have moved on, but I personally was for the new head coaching direction. With that said people are always wondering why Hubris was axed, maybe one reason could be he just wasn't a great reader of talent on all sides of the ball. Watching Sterling Moore, a guy multiple posters on this site pleaded with the Raiders to keep on the roster from the start of the season when like D. Moore he had a good training camp, make plays for the hated Patriots, while we are currently trying to access our cornerback needs was tough, but you gotta love the kid for keeping his head up while on the practice squad. S. Moore at worse would have been a good nickel corner and could have helped but obviously Hubris missed the boat on that one.
P.s. Shout out to the poster that was praising Sterling all pre-season, I can't remember who but obviously he saw a diamond in the summer camp setting.

News Release
Environmental Trust Fund projects announced27 April 2012
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Almost $4 million from the Environmental Trust Fund will be invested into 195 projects during the 2012-13 fiscal year.
"With this important program, the provincial government helps to provide funding to hundreds of projects and initiatives that protect New Brunswick's air, land and water resources through improvement, restoration, preservation and protection," said Environment and Local Government Minister Bruce Fitch. "I am pleased that we have been able to stretch the funding and help support as many projects as possible again this year."
Applications to the fund are made annually by non-profit organizations, community groups, municipalities and institutions promoting sustainable development.
The projects are divided into six categories:
● sustainable development (59 projects, $1,609,500);
● restoration (11 projects, $238,000);
● protection (36 projects including 20 Environmental Risk Assessments, $444,500);
● education (70 projects, $1,344,250);

If you couldn't already tell from my Instagram feed -- I take lots of pictures. Pictures of nothing, really. I like to think I see the beauty in the mundane, but really I just like playing with filters & editing things & sharing pieces of my life. I see Apps like Instagram as my visual diary of daily life.
Maybe one day I'll look back & ohh and ahh over all the random little things. Or maybe I'll laugh at myself. Either way, it's something I enjoy doing now.
But occasionally, I'm reminded that sometimes it's good to put the phone/camera down & just enjoy where I'm at, and who I'm with. And this weekend, that reminder came in the form of my little blonde-headed nephew Danzig.
We had wandered down to Guadalupe River from my Grandparent's River House, and he wanted to put his feet in. So we were putting our feet in, practicing standing up on the top step in the river (because he is after all 2 and can't quite swim yet in a flowing body of water.) --- and I was having a field day taking pictures.
How could I not? He was so happy in the water, the background was perfect & I have an inordinate love of photographing this little guy. But then he looked up at me and said, "Put the phone in the water!" ... To which I of course replied, No, that'll break it. But Danzig just insisted again, "Put the phone in the water!" .... as if wanting me to break it.
And then he started splashing me. And not really me, but my phone. He was eying it with disdain. It was a game to him - he laughed and splashed and I jokingly ran away - but it was something more than a game. He wanted me to put that phone down & just spend time playing in the water with him.
So I did.
And you know what? I had just as much fun. I have the memories. And I got to bond with my nephew on his terms.
Finding that balance of taking pictures to just living in the here & now isn't easy when we all literally carry a high-quality camera in our pocket. But it's something I'm trying to find.
And speaking of pictures, my good from Valorie of Valorie Clark Photography is giving away wedding photography services for free. For anywhere in the continental US. Go here for details. ♥

IF THERE'S an ASX-listed biotech company with a history that reads like a Dostoevski novel, it's Solagran. Combine the rigour of nearly 50 clinical trials involving some 5,700 patients for just one of its 15 'Bioeffectives', with a history intertwined with the Russian forests, and the story starts to emerge.
The 'complex but fascinating' theme continues when you start investigating its intellectual property. Not only does it have the rights to a vast catalogue of therapeutic candidates, but the Bioeffectives themselves are convoluted multiple molecule compounds, derived from green tree foliage and processed with a proprietary technology.

Charlie Orens, 25, and Albin Wicki, 22, dragged a large seining net into the waters of the Sandy Hook Bay Friday afternoon as children and their parents waited patiently on the beach in Port Monmouth.
After walking out in the Bay to about chest-high water, the duo slowly walked back to the beach dragging their night along the floor of the Bay collecting small fish, crabs and hermit crabs as they dredged through the water.
Children inched closer and closer to the water as the duo dressed in galoshes and high-cut wader overalls made their way back to shore.
"Everybody needs to have their hands wet so when you pick up the fish, you don't hurt them," Orens said, as he and Wicki laid the more than six-foot long net on the ground.
Children then quickly scrambled to buckets with Bay water sitting in them, dunked their hands and headed toward the net picking up small fish and crabs and putting them in buckets.
After dragging the net to the shore three times, Orens and Wicki skimmed through the shallow buckets identifying these bay creatures to a group of 20 children.
In a small clear plastic container, Orens held a small silver fish, no larger than four inches big, with a deep-silver strip running down from the head to tail of the fish. As its appearance suggests the fish was a Silverside fish. A small baitfish, this fish is on the bottom of the bay food chain.
Next came the bay anchovy, another baitfish. Wicki held the dead fish, which was smaller than the Silverside, comparing its size to other as the children peered over each other to get a closer look at the dead bay anchovy.
Moving up the marine life food chain, Orens put a five-inch kingfish into the clear plastic container.
"The kingfish is born a dark, black color so it blends with its environment so it can hide from predators," Orens said circling the container around the group.
After identifying snapper, calico, horseshoe and blue-claw crabs, the group packed up the beach ending their summer-long program dragging buckets filled with fish and crabs back to the Bay releasing their catch.
The summer-long, free program hosted by the Monmouth County Parks System offered children an opportunity to learn more about the marine life of Sandy Hook Bay during this seining session.

T Cell Mediated Cancer Immunotherapy
T cells are potent mediators of cell death and their ability to treat cancer in various forms is the focus of my graduate work. In particular, I am interested in three possible methods to utilize the cytolytic function of T cells to treat cancer. The first is a combination therapy using adoptive cell transfer, tumor targeting antibodies, and a cytokine fusion protein. The second is the development of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target T cells to tumors, initiate tumor cell lysis, and promote long term survival. The third is the design of bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) antibodies which target T cells to tumor cells by creating a bridge between tumor associated antigens and CD3ε domains. By utilizing a patient's own immune system to fight off cancer, it is hoped that more durable treatments of cancer can be developed.

Selwyn Harris / Pahrump Valley Times - Nye County Assistant Sheriff Rick Marshall (left) and NyE Communities Coalition's Laura Oslund display several hundred pounds of unused medication collected in a few short weeks via the "Med Return" project. The drugs were likely destined to be flushed or just tossed in the garbage.
Disposal of unused or expired medications is not simple or safe if the solution is flushing it down the commode or putting it in the trash.
According the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dumping prescription meds down the toilet may lead to adverse environmental consequences and FDA officials have noted trace amounts of medicines detected in water systems nationwide.
Just tossing them in the garbage is never a good idea either.
Locally, NyE Communities Coalition (NyECC) has teamed up with the Nye County Sheriff's Office (NCSO) to help ensure unneeded medications are disposed of properly.
Both agencies collaborated on a remedy to assist community residents in discarding the drugs.
Through a grant, the coalition developed what's called "Med Return" drug collection receptacles.
The units, which slightly resemble U.S. Postal collection bins, allow residents to safely drop off their drugs at several convenient locations in town.
So far, the units can be found at Desert View Hospital, the Pahrump Senior Center, Comfort Hospice on Postal Road and the newest location at Pahrump Pharmacy on Calvada Boulevard.
"We are trying to get boxes in as many central locations as we can," NCSO volunteer Ben Gully said. "We thought the Senior Citizen's Center and the Pahrump Pharmacy would be two good places to have these units because many of our older residents in town are on some type of medication."
After more than five months, Gully, who empties the units each week, said he's seen just about every type of prescription drug on the market, including drugs not exactly prescribed by a doctor.
"I get Tums, cough drops and everything. it's okay, we sort it. If someone finds marijuana, we'll come to their home and pick it up with no questions asked," he said.
Prior to the Med Return campaign, the sheriff's office would routinely pick up medications from those who call and Gully said that service is still being offered as well.
At present Gully said the Med Return unit at Desert View Hospital seems to be the most popular location by virtue of the amount of drugs deposited there each week.
"It's our busiest box. I empty that box twice a week because they actually advertise the box is there. It's good for us to get the drugs off the street. The unit is specially made for drug collections. They have titanium locks and we make sure the locations are secure enough to have them there. Nobody can just reach in and try to retrieve the contents inside," he said.
For more information on the Med Return project or to have a box installed, call the Nye County Sheriff's Office at 751-7000.

CLAREMONT, Minn. (KTTC) -- Minnesota State Patrol is investigating what caused a one-vehicle rollover.
A 2002 Ford Explorer was traveling west on Highway 14 West near Claremont when it veered left into a ditch.
The driver, 32-year-old Estella Lopez, overcorrected to the right, causing the truck to rollover on the highway.
The passenger, 27-year-old Feliciano Lopez, was ejected.
Minnesota State Patrol says Feliciano was not wearing a seat belt.
Mayo One flew Feliciano to Saint Marys Hospital, while the Estella was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
"This one was definitely driver error. Obviously the injuries to this passenger who got ejected... he wouldn't have been ejected had he had a seatbelt on," said Eric Bormann, a state patrol trooper.
Both suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Highway 14 West near Dodge County Road 5 North was closed for about an hour while authorities cleaned up the scene.

charnaw already fanshotted Joshua Smith's candid comments on the Sports Arena. I can't say I am really surprised by what Smith had to say. I had a feeling that players were going to have that kind of experience early on. It is going to be one of those seasons where our guys will have to suck it up a bit and forget the distractions around playing in a old, dilapidated arena (even though we saw it coming).
Now Smith made those comments at a weekly press conference yesterday as the Bruins are getting ready for their first exhibition game against Cal State San Bernardino at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario. So that is going to be a road game for the Bruins. Here are Jon Gold's top line notes from Coach Ben Howland:
* UCLA head coach Ben Howland was hopeful that De'End Parker (concussion) would practice today for the first time in nine days without contact. Parker has practiced just four or five times out of 16.
* Center Anthony Stover is still 10-14 days from practicing even without contact, Howland guessed, and said he's expected to miss the season opener at least.
* Howland said Tyler Lamb would likely backup at the point guard spot in the team's exhibition matchup with Cal State San Bernardino with Jerime Anderson suspended.
* Howland on playing the scrimmage against Cal State Fullerton and the exhibition with focus: "We actually played the scrimmage against Fullerton like a regular-season game. That's what we're trying to prepare for.
* On Norman Powell playing the point:
"His biggest issue with me is his ability to stay in front of the ball. He's athletic so he should be able to do it, and be better than he is right now. The other thing is better passing."
For more from yesterday's presser, check out videos of Joshua Smith and Tyler Lamb on Inside UCLA.
Howland's comments on Powell are interesting. I just hope he is not afraid to put in Powell for extended mintues and don't have a quick hook as soon as the freshman makes some kind of mistake. I would really like to see Howland try out a core of LJ-Lamb-Powell early on as much as possible because I think those three provide the most potential of combination of defense and athleticism early on.
I get the sense that Howland is in love with the Wear twins. However, now that Anthony Stover is going to be out for a while, pt for the Stovers will not be an issue at the front court. They will get time. So hopefully Howland will think about giving his talented freshman some legit PT early on and have him grow through whatever freshman mistakes he make in pre-season.
Going back to the issue of getting use to life without Pauley Peter Yoon had this note on UCLA's practice experience in the men's gym:
That court is 10 feet shorter than a regulation NCAA court, so spacing at practice is a little tighter and the Bruins found out last week when they played at the Sports Arena for the first time in a closed scrimmage against Cal State Fullerton, that extra 10 feet adds up during the course of a game.
"I thought that was the most noticeable thing for me against Fullerton was we really were sucking air," coach Ben Howland said. "And definitely a part of it is not playing on a normal length of court on a day in a day out basis."
Not surprisingly, Howland has the team running more in practice this week to try and make up some of the conditioning slack, but almost as much of a concern is the spacing of the players while running offensive sets. In the practice gym, players are that much more compacted by the boundaries of the court.
That's probably part of the reason why Norman Powell, De'End Parker and Anthony Stover have suffered concussions after collisions in practice and Stover is now out for at least two weeks because of a shoulder injury suffered in another collision.
"Everyone is a little bit more crowded," said forward David Wear. "[At the Sports Arena] you have to get out wider. When you run the lanes, you keep the right spacing because you don't want to be clustered in."
Well it's going to be a little while longer till we get to see our Bruins on TV (first pre-season game is against LMU on November 11). Until then if you live in the IE or the OC, you should definitely consider checking them out this Sunday afternoon (2:00 PST) when they take CSSB in Ontario. You can check out "Bruin Road Show" tickets option here.

LA Forensics: Where There's Smoke...
Blaupunkt Redux
After the successful series of search warrants, investigators had Kerry and Kacey Ephriam in custody, both charged with murder, but they didn't have their cousin, Blood gang member Michael Valentine. He was in the wind. Barron and his partner had a murder warrant issued for Valentine's arrest.
Not long after the arrest warrant was issued, uniform cops in South Central L.A. pulled over a Dodge Aries for a traffic violation. The driver turned out to be Michael Valentine. The cops, who were used to dealing with gang punks, threw a pair of handcuffs on Valentine and notified detectives they had collared the fugitive murder suspect.
When detectives searched Valentine's raggedy Dodge, they found a high-end German-made Blaupunkt stereo mounted in the dashboard. It was the same stereo that had been in Lon Kim's Mercedes.
"The radio was probably worth a third of the value of the car," Barron says.
But the Blaupunkt stereo and the Omega weren't the only things tying Valentine to the murder. Detectives also found a witness who linked him to the murder weapon.
The witness told investigators that when Michael dumped the Mercedes in Inglewood, Kasey was following him in the tan Oldsmobile. As the two men talked in the street for a few minutes, they stood protectively over the trunk of the Oldsmobile. Valentine was carrying a gun, which one the witness later described as "a cowboy-looking gun," meaning a revolver. The witness also overheard part of Michael and Kacey's conversation.
"Michael Valentine handed the gun to Kacey Ephriam and told him, 'Take him to a deserted area and to shoot him and set him on fire.'" Deputy District Attorney Michael Duarte says. "And that was approximately three to four hours before Lon Kim's body (was) found at the airport."

The other day I listened to some people talking about how the sight of blood nauseates them.
"I just about pass out when I see somebody with a really bad cut that's spurting blood," one person said.
I held my tongue for a time, then I had to jump into the conversation.
"You should have had the ready-for-blood-and-guts-and-anything-else indoctrination that I underwent as a young mother," I said.
That training came via my third child, who knew no fear.
Car trips with kids were a challenge in the
"old days."
I'm talking about the years when my children were little and the ones that followed for a time.
Specifically, I'm referring to the generations that preceded DVDs in vehicles.
I was in the car recently with my 3-year-old grandson, Lucas, and his mom. While Melissa and I chatted about a number of things, we rarely were interrupted by Lucas.
This is because Lucas, like a lot of privileged children of his generation, rides in a car that offers filmdom on wheels.
One week into 2012 and it begins. The relative calm pond that is 'Saline County Politics' is beginning to show the first ripples of discontent, maneuvering and change. Whether or not the change is necessary or ill-advised matters not. Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion states, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." As changes are made, one group will see any decision as a step in the right direction. But beware the equal and opposite reaction from those who disagree and feel otherwise.
The Christmas season can be counted on to stir up memories.
I'm not alone in this. I think it's probably a pretty universal situation.
When I watch favorite old holiday movies, I do with more than a few lumps in the throat.
But as I think back to days gone by, I always remember a lot of funny things that happened through the years. Thankfully, they tend to offset my weepy recollections, so I can keep on doing the things I must do.
I'll never forget the year one of our cats became a Christmas ornament. Literally.
I have had the privilege of attending city council and planning commission meetings in cities throughout Saline County. I have seen the process of government "of the people, by the people and for the people" in motion with all its glory. I have also seen the darker, blemished side. I say this not in a derogatory sense but given the nature of the statement, I could see how others may conclude as such. I say it to show there is balance in all things. Conflict is not always a bad thing. Conflict that leads to better ideas is healthful. Conflict that leads to division and mistrust is not.
One of my favorite musicals is "Cinderella."
A few fears back, I played the wicked stepmother in the Royal Players production of this Rodgers and Hammerstein jewel. It was my dream role.
Other than the wonderful music, the two sisters' nastiness is the best part of the play. It typifies how ridiculous sisterly rivalry can be.
I don't have a sister. I always wanted one and envied families that included several girls. One of my best friends had two. I thought she was the luckiest girl in the world. She would have given either or both of hers to me any day of the week.
He walked along the roadside, scanning the ditches with squinted eye. We were never sure if he ever used sunglasses. The deep creases in his skin, etched outward toward each ear, were not created through moments of introspection or thought. They were earned through years of toil and labor, at least that's what we deduced from watching the grizzled figure we came to know as "The Can Man."
Pass the Smucker's, please.
That's a frequent comment at the House of Hollenbeck because homemade jelly doesn't happen there.
We're big fans of Smucker's. We also have a close association with the folks at Bama and Welch's.
This past summer, during one of my visits to the Farmers Market (which I do love) at the Saline County Courthouse square, someone suggested that I purchase some fresh fruit and concoct some homemade jelly.
He might just as well has suggested that I build a 30-story building. This would be just as likely.
Except for St. Patrick's Day — which my Irish heritage tells me I must claim for my favorite holiday — my "next favorite" is Thanksgiving.
To me, it's a much better day than Christmas because it's about family and friends and food and fellowship and all good things in between. I don't feel pressured to have the perfect gift for everyone I know. I can just enjoy.
Still, if we get to the real reason for the season, Christmas should come first. That's a no-brainer. It's the extraneous stuff and human-made pressure that has made that event hectic and difficult and expensive and exhausting.
There are people who don't like to read columns about the cute things kids say. If you're one of them and you're reading this, just move on down the road because this column will be about the cute things kids say. I'm one who relishes such gems of wisdom.
And some of those cute things will have been espoused by my grandchildren and those of others in my intimate acquaintance. Truth be told, the stuff said by youngsters may not be as enchanting to others as it is to kith and kin, but I've always liked kids — mine and other people's — so I enjoy all of it.

This review is on Anker Astro3 second generation 12000 mAh black battery pack. This battery pack is a real powerhouse of energy and in my test results it performed extremely well in supplying a charging current to an iPad 3 and an iPhone 4. It is also designed to allow you to charge three items at the same time. I also tested the battery pack charging and iPad 3 and an iPhone 4 simultaneously. It comes with an Apple 30 pin connector and other accessories that you need to make it more useful. You may need to use your original charging cables for some devices so take them with you if you need them.
It is a great power resource to keep your USB recharged devices operating on those long work or school days or while you are traveling. This battery pack is a powerful source of power and many people like me are power users of their smart phones and tablets and need a battery like this. If you are constantly using your phone or tablet then you know that they will run out of power sometime during the day or evening. If you are not near an AC wall outlet with your charger or in your car with a charger what can you do? It is especially important to have some way to recharge if you are traveling in a plane, in the middle of a school classroom or on a bus or train. In addition many of the newer tablets are real power hungry devices and it takes a lot to recharge them.
Here is a powerful battery pack with three USB ports. It can charge your tablet devices or charge your smart phone and if you want it can do both of them simultaneously. I charged two iPhones at the same time in my testing. One Smart USB output port is rated at 5 VDC and 2.4 Amps and the other two are rated at 5 VDC and 2 Amps. It uses Lithium-Ion battery technology and carries a 12000 mAh capacity. It can output a total of 4 Amps at one time and this is the highest battery pack output that I have seen in my testing so far. This is a large sized battery pack and it weighs in weighs in at 10 1/2 ounces. This battery pack will fit easily into a brief case, back pack or a computer bag or a large purse. I have included a video of the battery's features and I hope it is helpful to you.
Here are the output details for the two ports based upon the type of device you are trying to charge:
Type of product—————–Smart Port——Universal Port
iPad IOS 5 and above———-2.4 Amps——–1.5 Amps
iPad below IOS 5—————-2.4 Amps——–N/A
iPhone IOS 5 and above——-1 Amp————½ Amp
iPhone below IOS 5————1 Amp————N/A
Android Phones—————–1.5 Amps——–1.5 Amps
Android Tablets—————–2 Amps———–2 Amps
Samsung Galaxy Tablets——2 Amps———–N/A
Other cellphones—————1.5 Amps——–1.5 Amps
When I test a battery I do an extensive set of tests that fully charges the battery and then I use it to charge devices and make sure that it is fully depleted when my tests are done. I time each test and document the results as the test progresses. I then calculate the mAh of capacity that the battery supplied and I then calculate its charging efficiency. This process takes from 3 hours to, in very large batteries, about a day for testing. I don't take any short cuts or guess and every battery has these tests performed on it and documented. This is to assure that the battery is tested and it performs well. If a battery has performed poorly I then run the tests again to verify the results.
What's in the box?
* The Anker Astro3 second generation 12000 mAh black battery pack
* The battery pack comes with an instruction manual
* The battery does not come with an AC wall charger. Use the Micro USB charging tip for charging the battery. You can use a computer USB 2.0 port to charge the battery pack but it is 12000 mAh and it will take between 24 to 26 hours. The manual states to use a 1.5 Amp USB wall charger and it will take 8 hours but I recommend using a 2.1 amp AC wall charger if you have one.
* One charging cable for the battery pack or your smart devices. It is 11 inches long.
* An Apple 30 pin connector adapter.
* A nice carrying bag
This is a very good product and below I have listed its features and benefits as well as my test data for your review. Please take the time to quickly watch the video and if you have any questions send me a comment and I will try to help you.
The Anker Astro3 second generation 12000 mAh battery pack features:
* Powerful 12000 mAh capacity specification
* The unit is compact in size and weighs in at 10 1/2 ounces.
* Attractively designed and covered in a rubberized coating that is easy to grip and it hides most fingerprints.
* There is no push button for starting the charging of your device or to read out the battery's charged capacity using LED…
Yes, another external battery. No, this one is like nothing I have ever tested from Anker or anybody else. It's not a surprise Anker became one of my favorite companies to review new products from because they are constantly introducing something new and/or improved. That is the only way to stay on top of the game and to earn the top rating of your customers.
First of all, even with it's 12000 mAh capacity, this new 2nd gen Astro shrank up in size down to 110 mm x 83 mm x 26 mm which fits very comfortably and feels very nice with its soft touch rubbery finish in your hand. At close to 10 oz in weight you will feel it for sure in your pocket, although it's slick design is very portable and with included mesh pouch is easy to carry around in your bag/purse/backpack or even pants pocket, as long as you are not wearing skinny jeans In contrast to most of the today's external batteries with dual output, Astro 3 comes with 3 independent full size usb outputs that deliver a whooping 4A of combined current. I checked it by charging Note 2, S4, and Nexus 7 simultaneously and was able to confirm that right on a dot. N2 was charging at about 2A, S4 at about 1A, and N7 at about 1A as well. I was actually timing and monitoring the percentage of battery change, not just relying on Current Charge app. These 3 usb charging outputs are actually partitioned into one Smart output (intended for Apple devices and other android devices) and two Universal outputs which are specifically designed to charge Android devices at maximum speed. There is some custom circuit which determines max speed and optimizes output correspondingly. I also noticed the safety nature of this circuit prevented me from charging both N2 and S4 at 2A each from Universal outputs where N2 was charging at 2A and S4 at 1A, leaving 1A for Smart output, thus confirming it's not a bulk current sharing between all 3 ports. The input port, micro-usb, for charging Astor 3 is actually a fast 1.5A input which is great since it charges this external battery at 1.5x times faster rate.
While you charging the battery itself or using to charge other devices, another huge improvement in the design is a circular 10-segment indicator with granularity of 10%. You no longer have to rely on a typical 4-segment led. This one will give you a more precise reading, although it might take you a little while to get used to figuring out on a spot the exact percentage by counting segments before light times out. Once the light turns off, it's a clean surface design with no leds or buttons. So how do you turn it on or verify led count? Yet another cool innovation, just do a shake of the battery and indicator circle turns on to reveal number of active segments. I really like that motion activated switch, makes it very unique. But trust me, it's not the most unique part of this new Astro 3 design. As I mentioned in a number of my previous reviews, the labeled capacity of the battery is not what you actually get. It's the capacity of the cells inside of external battery when it has to be converted to 5V usb interface at the output and then back from 5V to 3.7V inside of the phone. During this conversion ALL external batteries loose anywhere between 30%-35% of its capacity. Well, this new 2nd gen Astro 3 is optimized to a much higher efficiency. I have tested it and can confirm it provides the actual charging capacity of 10,044 mAh, which means a loss of only 16%!!! Basically, the internal battery circuit has been optimized to provide a more efficient output. I have tested a lot of external batteries, and this is the first one I have seen at such high efficiency.
Overall, I was very impressed with a design and features of this battery, especially with how efficient it's output. For $49.99 on Amazon its a great value where it provides the actual capacity output equal to other more expensive batteries labeled at around 14000 mAh. With a high output efficiency, 4A of total combined charging current, triple output, and motion activated 10-segment led indicator – I highly recommend it!
I can't say enough good things about Anker chargers. Soft matte exterior, 1′ usb cord, a bit heavier than it's the previous version but that is to be expected with a 12k. It's a must for us ingress players, and this is a wonderful addition to the kit. Easily keeps my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 re-charged with room to spare with heavy usage on both (gps, data, wifi, screen wake lock on).
Only reason why the batterys so low is bc u guys play games and shit and how much does it cost?
very nice vid. thanks!
I have it and am so surprised that you are complimenting the battery life. I have no positive words about the battery capacity.
I'm experiencing better battery life with an apple USB charger and the HTC cable.
Nice blog. This really help me out a lot.
I've owned this phone for about 8 months the battery life isn't the best but it lasts; like the case btw
Wrong !!!!!!turn of internet screen 2% of light no Bluetooth it will last 3 hrs

You know, I know the Kyle Orton talk recently was a joke...until he was waived. However, there were many on this same site that wanted Orton to be traded to the Redskins during the preseason. The more I think about it, the more I think that snatching up Orton wouldn't be such a bad idea, because it allows us to have a present at QB while grooming the future.
Check out this scenario...
First of all, look at Orton's past three seasons in Denver, and you will see a rather solid player at QB amidst a lack of real traditional offensive talent. Look at these stats...
2009: 336-541, 3,802 yards, 62.1% comp, 21 td, 12 int, 86.8 rating
2010: 293-498, 3,653 yards, 58.8% comp, 20 td, 9 int, 87.5 rating
2011: 91-155. 979 yards, 58.7% comp, 8 td, 7 int, 75.7 rating
Obviously, 2011 was a bit of a letdown, but Orton lost Brandon Lloyd to the Rams after 4 games, and his 2nd favorite target had been traded to the Redskins (Jabar Gaffney). Orton has a very different reputation than Rex Grossman, having thrown 79 touchdowns compared to 55 interceptions in 67 career games. plus he is pretty good at protecting the football when hit, as well.
We could pick up Orton and ride him for the rest of the season, and maybe the next 1 or 2 after that (he is only 29 right now). Given that we have many needs to address, we could use our 1st round pick in one of two ways. We could get a superstar 1st rounder and have Orton as the present and the rookie as the heir apparent with Orton being a solid, reliable backup. Or, we could use the 1st round pick on addressing another need, and use our 2nd round pick on one of the projected 2nd rounders there (Tannehill, Foles) who are a bit rougher around the edges, but have a high ceiling and could be turned into really good NFL starters with a bit of time. We don't have "a bit of time" at the QB position right now, but Orton might be the man to buy us that time.
I'm not saying this is the absolute course of action, but it is a thought to consider. However, it is a thought that must be considered and decided upon quickly if the front office is considering this particular action.

Woodruff police said they are looking for two men accused of shooting a man in the neck on Sunday.
Police said the shooting happened at an apartment complex on Woody Center about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, and they have arrested one of three men connected to the incident.
According to the police report, 27-year-old Andre Scott had a female friend call the victim over to the apartment, and while at the apartment, the two other men stormed in, dragged the man outside and shots were fired.
The woman told police she saw the two men get into the victim's white Chevrolet Blazer and leave the scene.
The report said the other two men had been at the apartment before the victim arrived, then left before he got there.
The victim was found outside, missing identification and his pockets were turned inside-out, with a gunshot wound to the neck, according to police. He was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.
Police said the vehicle was found about 4:15 p.m. Sunday in Laurens County, almost completely burned.
Scott was arrested on Wednesday and charged with accessory before the fact and accessory after the fact, both felony charges. He was being held at the Spartanburg County Detention Center on a $31,000 bond.
Woodruff police said the two suspects charged in connection with the shooting are Jason Tolison and Justin Reynolds, who are also wanted in Laurens County in connection with another shooting.

New PSNH rates took effect Jan. 1
CONCORD - New rates for Public Service Company of New Hampshire electricity customers took effect on Tuesday, after approval by the Public Utilities Commission last week.
In an order issued on Dec. 28, the regulatory agency approved an increase in the energy service charge of 9.54 cents per kilowatt hour, up from the 2012 energy charge of 7.11 cents per kwh.
The increase in the energy service charge will be offset to a degree by a reduction in the charge for stranded cost recovery, designed to compensate PSNH for costs brought about by deregulation of the energy industry in New Hampshire.
The stranded cost recovery charge was approved at .737 cents per kwh, compared to 1.88 cents per kwh in 2012.
A customer using 500 kilowatt hours per month will see their monthly bill go up from $86.35 to $92.43, an increase of about 7 percent.
