Plans move ahead for development at Missoula's South Crossing
Published On: Apr 09 2014 10:15:01 PM MDT
Retailers are moving ahead with plans for Missoula's South Crossing. Missoula city officials report they are reviewing plans for Petco and the Men's Wearhouse.
Both retailers want to build on the old K-Mart site on Brooks Street. That location is now called South Crossing.
Plans for both stores are just drafts right now, meaning they are not public. We expect to get a closer look in a couple of weeks.
Officials tell us the department store Kohl's has not submitted its plans, but appears to still be focused on building on the same site in Missoula. We're told planners talk periodically with Kohl's, but executives are not in a hurry to submit their plans.
Right now, a Cabela's Outpost is set to open soon. Boot Barn opened last fall.

November 24, 2014
SOUTHMAYD, TX – The city council voted to keep the police force for at least six more months. City leaders plan to explore ways to pay for the force.
The council met for hours, and ultimately decided to cut back on the court clerk's phone line, a data line, and copier maintenance, and looked for other cost-cutting measures.
Citizens gave their input as well; with some saying they would be willing to give private donations to continue the force. One resident suggested a benefit dinner or silent auction. The city accountant gave figures, projecting the city will have $50-$70,000 in losses if they keep the force.
Monthly the city loses about $5600 with the force as it is.
One suggestion was to increase the sales tax. Council members must decide what to do by February 12th.

Paris Hilton celebrates 28
It's with a great deal of pleasure that we today wish a very happy birthday to El Reg's fave celebutard Paris Hilton - she without whom Fridays would in the last couple of years have been a sorry affair indeed marked merely by wholly IT-related material and bereft of something for self-appointed commentard content guardians to …
pictures please
come on you cheer up a dull day with at least a few pictures of our princess
Oh, age!
I thought you meant IQ!
Where's the Paris angle??
Oh.....there it is :)
By the way, we expect pics!!
Happy Birthday to you
...hope it goes with a bang, which in turn will then be a popular download for many.
28 human years ...
is only 4 dog years.
Surely she's been around than that ?
God bless her...
...and all who sail in her.. ;o)
Oh the pain.
Paris sucking face with Bill Gates! This is an image that I will never get out of my mind.
Curse you Lester. Curse you and your descendants for a thousand generations!
Only 28
Surely she has made more than 28 Grumble Flicks?
Having sad that, she has made a small fortune selling them, so maybe she can't really be considered amateur..
Happy birthday dear Paris..
Haaaapy birthday toooo yoooooo
I for one
welcome the twenty-eigth year reign of our blonde overlord.
Oh no
What a depressing way to find out I share a birthday with Paris.
Who will put the candles on her cake for her? She cant count that high!
Thank you
You totally ruined *my* 28th birthday coming up next week. Mostly with the realization that even if I would suck face with Bill Gates this weekend, pretty much noone would care. Even if I twitter about it.
Was waiting for the right article to send this link out for comments on el reg:
PS - it's not-NSFW, so don't worry!
Happy Birthday Paris, we salute you!!
Yeah, sure
Gates wife would just love the hell out of seeing that.....bwaaaa haaa haaa haaa haaa
Happy Birthday Paris
I for one simply wish her a Happy Birthday.
I dislike the negative jibes, usually made by the uglier members of our sickish society. Paris is a beautiful girl and suffers more from the jealousy of the holier-than-thou brigade and the lesser intelligent dirty-minded little bastard of low brain cell count, pretending to be more intelligent than her. She is just a girl of beautiful appearance who likes to live her life in her own way.
I raise my glass to her, I think she has done well ! She has certainly done a lot better than anyone that I ever heard making comments about her, that's for sure.
Surely "not-NSFW" should just be 'SFW'? Bloomin' double-negatives.
And I'm not sure if I'm more amused by the article or the comments. Thanks to Lester and the commenters for brightening my day.
"Surely "not-NSFW" should just be 'SFW'?"
Where would be the fun in that?? ;)

Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS:US) director Rajat Gupta asked a federal judge to exclude statements by Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam from his trial this month in Manhattan federal court, according to a filing yesterday in New York.
Gary Naftalis, Gupta's defense lawyer, sought to bar conversations between Rajaratnam and Galleon trader Ian Horowitz on September 24, 2008, during which Rajaratnam claimed to have received a call in which an unidentified caller said "something good might happen to Goldman," Naftalis wrote. He also sought to exclude a recording of Rajaratnam and Galleon employee David Lau in which Rajaratnam recounts a tip received from an unidentified person "on the board of Goldman Sachs" about the company's earnings and revenues, the defense lawyer stated.
"The government's application is an act of desperation, breathtaking in its procedural audacity, seeking to rescue a weak case by asking the court to do something that is both unprecedented and unwarranted," Naftalis said in court filings.
Gupta is scheduled to go on trial May 21 for securities fraud and conspiracy for allegedly leaking tips to Rajaratnam. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman for Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, declined to comment on yesterday's filing.
Six Counts
Gupta is charged with six counts, including securities fraud and conspiracy, and faces as much as 20 years in prison on the most serious count.
Gupta's lawyers have previously asked the judge to exclude from the trial more than 26 wiretapped telephone conversations made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Rajaratnam speaking to others.
The defense argued that a July 29, 2008, wiretapped telephone conversation between Gupta and Rajaratnam -- in which the two discuss Goldman Sachs acquiring a commercial bank -- should be excluded because the information conveyed wasn't confidential and that the wiretap "is more prejudicial than probative."
Gupta's lawyers argue that the government is attempting to "reprise" the evidence it presented against Rajaratnam, "to shore up its weak circumstantial case against Mr. Gupta, resorting to evidence about other companies and other alleged conspiracies."
Rajaratnam, who the government alleges is Gupta's co- conspirator in the scheme, is serving an 11-year federal prison sentence.
The case is U.S. v. Gupta, 11-cr-00907, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Black Friday has been named that because it was traditionally a day that put retailers books back in the black. Cyber Monday became a day when online retailers had big savings for customers. Tomorrow has become known as Small Business Saturday. Connecticut Better Business Bureau spokesman Howard Schwartz says holiday shoppers can likely find deals all weekend.
Schwartz says consumer confidence continues to look good according to various polls, and low gas prices now may help a great deal in getting people out to brick and mortar stores. He says holiday "sales creep" helps businesses get consumers into their stores and pump up sales figures for the end of the year, and consumers benefit by being able to stagger their holiday purchases over two months.
Schwartz says consumers should also know their rights. Orders made by mail, phone, fax or online must be shipped by the date promised or, if no delivery time was stated, within 30 days. If the merchandise cannot be shipped on time, the seller is obligated to notify you of your right to cancel and receive a refund. You also have the right to reject an item if it's defective or has been misrepresented.
Schwartz encouraged shoppers to check return policies and fees before making a purchase. Businesses are not required to give money back, but they are obliged to post their return policy prominently near the cashier.

Fresh Bottled Juices
Love fresh juice, hate cleaning your juicer? Ritual Cleanses bottled bounties are here to the rescue.
We've all heard about the many benefits of fresh juice—loaded with vitamins, nutrients, and natural sweetness, it's the perfect pick-me-up (especially on a warm summer morning). But between cleaning sludgy pulp out of the gears and keeping a veritable assortment of produce on hand for when the mood to juice strikes, dealing with the ins and outs of home juicing can leave you annoyed instead of exuberant. Let Ritual Cleanse do the dirty work for you and effortlessly sip the nectar of the gods with its Daily Juice line, which has something for everyone. We love that the very un-scary ingredient list is front and center, showcasing the wholesome purity of their concoctions. Try Green Lemon (spinach, romaine, kale, celery, cucumber, green apple, and lemon) for pure vitamin power, or sip Lavender Lemonade (lemon, water, agave, and lavender) or Pineapple Mint (pineapple, coconut water, and mint) as gourmet to-go refreshments. We may even dub ourselves juiceheads (… but not the Jersey Shore kind).

cheap seafood and great place to stay this long weekend
looking for lobster steamed lots of it and cheap maybe with clams, shrimp. Also great calamari at different place. looking for possiable bed and breakfast great food nice room hot tub. first visit to Boston what should we not miss seeing(Kids are staying home)
There is a B&B on Charles Street (Beacon Hill) for less than $100 that is quite nice but can't recall name. Nearby is Artu for the rosat lamb and eggplant sandwich or light pasta dishes and the Paramount for breakfast. For steamed lobster clams etc,the Barking Crab is convenien to downtown and OK and near the new Institute of Contemporary Art. Also would recommend Peach Fram in Chinatown for excellent Chinese preparations of seafood. Calamari is everywhere these days, but Daily Catch in the North End is good.
re: gourmaniac
Depends if you're looking for NE steamed lobster or w/ginger & scallions at a place like Peach Farm or East Ocean Wealth in Chinatown, where you'll probably find the most reasonable prices for seafood & where you can pick out your choices still swimming. Calamari is good there too, but for an Italian prep, I also say,try the Daily Catch on Hanover Street in the Northend. B&B, La Capella, in the Northend would be fun place to base yourself.
re: Taralli
Yeah, I happen to really like Daily Catch on Hanover Street for calamari (superior to the other DC locales).
You don't mention when you are coming, but the best places for steamed lobster are up north. Chauncey Creek in Kittery Point, ME being my favorite.
My fav seafood place in Boston is Neptune Oyster in the North End. They don't do steamed lobster (I've never seen it on the menu), but they have amazing fried clams and a stellar raw bar.
re: tallullah
Chauncey Creek is closed for the winter. I don't think they re-open until Mother's Day weekend.
re: Chickpea
That's right.
I didn't notice the 'this long weekend' in the topic title.
re: tallullah
Neptune is great, but NOT cheap. If you can resign yourself to spending lots before you even walk in, it will be worth it, but not otherwise.
re: Bostonbob3
Don't forget Belle Isle is cash only. And I once got an "off" lobster there.
re: eLizard
thanks for the $ info how many times have you had good lobster at Belle Isle?
re: chefmom
Well, we indirectly know the owner and he is a good hard-working person (definitely a family-run joint). If any *bad* lobsters/food are being served, that is purely unintentional.
re: The Chewy Kid
Sorry, but I would never recommend No Name. Too touristy and the food, IMO, is just average.
Same for Union Oyster but food downgraded to poor.
Village Catch in Brookline is good and cheap but has only seafood no non-fish alternatives. The Barking Crab is fun and the food is actually pretty good.
re: The Chowhound Team
www.flyertalk.com is a good place to inquire about places to stay. (They discuss chow over there, too, but not very well, IMHO!)
Don't forget Legal Seafoods. They know how to do lobster right (even though some other things are debatable). Steamed is different than boiled - not all places actually do steamed. I don't think that Barking Crab does.
A second for No Name. Like Legal they're not a top restaurant, but have fresh lobster and know how to cook it.
If the weather is still warm when you get here, a treat is a lobter roll from J. Hook and Co. on the corner of Atlantic Ave. and the Old Northern Ave. bridge. Find somewhere to sit overlooking the water (on either side of the bridge) and enjoy.
For shrimp, this time of year, yu can't do better than a pile of Gulf of maine shrimp to eat raw, like sashimi, dippig them in soy sauce and wasabi. They should run about $5.99 or less in fish markets; ask them to let you try one, to make sure they're fresh and sweet. They're even affordable at Whole Foods...
Agree about the shrimp, and if you can find a place with a kitchen, splurge on the hard-shelled lobsters, and cook them yourselves! If you are interested, Little Q on Hancock Street in Quincy, has excellent broths in which to cook very tasty lobster and/or shrimp at very descent prices. Hooks on Atlantic Avenue has great lobsters. Unfortunately none of it is "cheap", but those who do it well make it worth the price. If you can get Nantucket scallops while you are up here, blow the budget - you will remember it for a long time
Some grocery stores will steam 'em for you; I know Shaw's does, as well as a bunch of others...
ok so steamed might be hard to find but plain boiled LOBSTER with lots o butter and cheap is great at No Name and Bell Isle and calamari @ Daily Catch on Hanover St. are these places open Sun. night? We will be staying near Back Bay/orange line How far of a drive or train to Bell Isle? What is a lobster roll? who votes for Peach Tree or East Ocean Wealth for lunch on this Sat.
re: chefmom
You can take the Orange Line to the Haymarket stop, and it's a very short walk from there to the Daily Catch on Hanover Street in the North End.
What is a lobster roll??? Uh, just order one and enjoy. Belle Isle's is cold and mayo based (and HUGE), while a place like Neptune Oyster (also in the North End, on Salem Street) is hot and butter-based.
I vote for Peach Tree over East Ocean Wealth.
To get to the No Name, you can take the Orange Line to Downtown Crossing, transfer to the Red Line, go to South Station and take a pretty short cab ride from there (not nearly as complicated as it sounds, believe me). Or walk from South Station if it's not freezing.
To get to Belle Isle, you need to take the Blue Line to the Orient Heights Stop in East Boston. From there you can take a walk or cab it (depends on the weather). Here's a map that shows Orient Heights in comparison to where Belle Isle is:
And if you haven't checked it out yet, here's the MBTA site with all the stops and stations and such:
Hope you have a great time. Let us know how it goes.
re: Bostonbob3
Actually, for the No Name, the Silver Line from South Station to World Trade Center stop might be better than a cab.
re: Chris VR
True. I've just never actually taken the Silver Line. It still bothers me that it's called a subway line when it's a bus.
I suspect a cab would be about $4 from South Station to The No Name, right?
re: Bostonbob3
It's also a nice walk (weather-depending), with oceanviews.
re: Bostonbob3
Actually, Neptune Oyster does both hot-butter (Connecticut style) and cold-mayo (Eastern New England) versions, but as I posted recently, it's the one thing I've had there (two things, as we tried both) that I didn't like.
re: MC Slim JB
You didn't like either the hot or the cold lobster roll at Neptune? I've only had the hot, and did not like it nearly as much as the roll at B&G. I have not tried Neptune's cold roll yet, though.
BTW, is a cold lobster roll usually served cold, or at room temperature. I prefer the latter, but I don't know how places deal with what I suspect are strict regulations about refrigeration from the health dept.
re: Blumie
Should have posted this with the prior reply, my recent post on the Neptune lobster roll:
re: MC Slim JB
Very funny. We may disagree on Mistral, but you and I had very similar reactions to Neptune. Here's my report from a couple of months ago:
re: Blumie
Judging from the responses to your post, you and I aren't the only ones who think "plainer is better" for the rolls in lobster rolls. It'll be interesting to see what Doc's (new waterfront restaurant coming to Long Wharf) does: their pitch to the city in part revolved around offering a superior lobster roll.
And yes, I am a rare Mistral detractor here. I guess it just deflated me after a while. I can remember being wowed by it very early on, when its prices were lower, and gradually losing my enthusiasm as it got steadily more expensive. Same thing happened to me at the Iocco-era Bricco, and Clio, and Hamersley's. I don't blame these folks for milking their success, but once they get into that suburban-crowds mode, I feel compelled to move on to better values.
Excellent Quincy/Milton seafood on the Red Line but less expensive than Boston if that is your issue.
This was a reply but became a new post.
This is a very local post and I confess pristine shellfish are my addiction!
Little Q in Quincy has excellent lobster and/or shrimp in broth.
Burke's Seafood, also in Quincy, have excellent lobsters steamed to go. Well worth any detour.
Rocky Neck Fish Co. in East Milton have Nantucket scallops now, which are worth every penny of their high price. The season is almost over..
Just so you know. the scallops are $29.95 a pound, so don't be bashful if you ask them to count them out by the quarter, half or full pound- everyone else does - and it is worth having less to experience the best...
You keep saying "cheap" what is your expectation? I have found that lobsters in Boston are no cheaper then most other places in the country. Where are you coming from?
Also not everyone likes lobster rolls. Personally im not a fan. I prefer my lobster fresh out of the shell. I remember in college going to maine with a girl who had never had one, she ordered it thinking it was going to be some sort of fried eggroll type thing. She was very unhappy when it came out!
re: hargau
I have great memories of eating fresh catch lobsters in Maine on a pier, picnic table, paper plates,THE BEST! I usually boil them at home but they are certinally not fresh catch. We are comming from near Niagara Falls, NY
Just for kicks i just callen the No-name to see what they offer.
They serve a 1-1/4 pound boiled lobster with corn, butter, and a side of fried shrimp/scallops for $22
re: JudyHP
less than $22 for 1 &1/4 pounder? and are they fresh? any pub better than others? I'm looking for about 2 pounders
Your not going to find 2 pounders in the average pub your better off eating two 1-1/4 pounders then finding a 2. They charge a premo for the big ones. At a place like Legals a 2 pounder could cost you in the $50-60 range im guessing.
re: hargau
i agree
Abe & Louies offer 2 or 3 lb. lobsters...stuffed or boiled...Expensive, but a lot of lobsta...
re: The Chewy Kid
I grew up eating lobster and I have to say that the 2lb. lobster at Abe& Louie's is quite sweet and not dried out...Enough lobsta to take home or share with someone...I have no idea about the 3 pounder.
re: The Chewy Kid
I disagree with this. I have eaten plenty of 2+ lb lobsters and the meat was just as sweet as the meat from a chick.
I buy the larger lobsters, up to 5 lbs, when I am serving lazy lobster or lobster salad. They are as good as any smaller bugs I've eaten. There is less work involved in shelling and getting the meat. I agree with MC Slim that overcooking is the problem. Thread drift - sorry.
Howdy to all Boston area chowhounds; I just wanted to thank you guys for your input on this thread. I was in town for 24 hours this past Saturday/Sunday, and was originally planning on asking you guys a cheap seafood question, when chefmom beat me to it. Living in Calgary, a thousand km from the nearest ocean, as I told Customs, my purpose for going to Boston was "to take a lot of pictures and eat a lot of seafood".
I wound up heading out to Belle Isle and getting a fried seafood platter, which was just fabulous. A bit of a hike from the T station, but worth it. (I used my GPS to find the place -- that's chowhounding.)
I also followed the general consensus from another thread on this board to visit Maria's for cannoli. I'm still raving about it to my coworkers.
Supper Saturday night was originally going to be Daily Catch, but there was a lineup and I was entirely too tired to stand around waiting, so I went to somewhere nearby whose name I've already forgotten for a largely unremarkable plate of carbonara.
Sunday, I had an 11 AM flight, but I grabbed a cup of Legal clam chowder at the airport, which rated okay in my books. I didn't care for the chowder all that much, but the clams themselves were excellent. And it was a real privilege to be served by the surliest human being on the entire East Coast; with all the millions of people there, I managed to get #1!
Anyways, thanks for the posts, guys.
re: ByeByeBaby
I hate when Boston comes off like the unfriendly place others assume it is. I don't think we're that bad (and if you were looking lost, I'd be the first person over with directions) but folks like that Legal server perpetuate the stereotype.
Still need to get to Belle Isle, good exploring on your part.
THANK you we had a great weekend except for the cold rain! Daily Catch was great, my husbands favorite of the weekend
JHook's lobster roll yum Peach Farm all the fish sooo fresh
great burgers at a place across from Harvard Mr.H(something) looks like it's been there for ever we also went to Bankok City for Thai Not so good, pad thai to sweet chicken and shrimp overcooked A great find was Modern Bakery we went Twice for their Torrone so fresh I wish i could have more NOW. we found all the people we talked to and asked for directions were very friendly and helpful I'm looking foreward to visiting Boston again Soon Thank You for all your in put
re: chefmom
The burger place is Mr. Bartley's, my favorite burger in Boston (but let's save that debate for all the burger threads!).
re: chefmom
the Nantucket scallops were THE BEST scallops I have EVER had well worth the price

Mold Blues & Soul!
A great day in North Wales!
Some lovely shots taken by Pete Benbow...
Yours-truly, Bob Henrit & Jamie Mallender rocking out for the folks at the first Mold Blues & Soul Festival.
Mold Blues and Soul
Here's to more of the same next year... :-)
Tone Hound on the last train to Corona
The release of the latest CD from JV , A Tone Hound on the last train to Corona is available now!
'Tone Hound' downloads - in a number of formats including mp3 here:
Why Tone Hound? And why Corona?
In the making of this album I went to great lengths to ensure integrity of the audio.
My amps were built by hand, have the best components and use valves. My guitars were designed and built especially for me, are kept in great shape and use vintage formula electronics. Every device in my set-up is chosen to have no detrimental effect on the tone of my guitars. As soon as my guitar strings show any signs of deterioration they are changed for new ones. I use the finest microphones, and keep the signal path as short as possible. I recorded digitally at the highest sampling rates and the album is available both as a CD and for download at extended sample rates for those who need that little extra.
I try not to let any of this affect the performance - the first take is often the best but the preparation is vital. Is that microphone really in the right place?
Because of all this, a good friend of mine thinks I'm a Tone Hound! Oh, and Corona?...
Well when I see this word I think of renewal, a fresh start, a new beginning...Work it out...
The live JV Band is a 3 Piece. Bob Henrit plays Drums. When Bob is otherwise engaged its either Steve Rodford or John Clark. On Bass it will be Mark Griffiths, or Bob Skeat, or Jim Rodford, or Andy Childs, or Jamie Mallender, or Gav Coulson, or Russell Rodford. Its a fluid line-up. Every one of these guys plays great and each line-up is subtly different.
- JV, from the sleeve notes
Now Available - John Verity Band - Live Live Live! DVD
JV voted 'BEST BLUES PERFORMANCE' here in the UK!
Now available A full-on rockin' blues performance from JV and the Band - Mark Griffiths on bass and Steve Rodford on drums.

See this video!
GUITARIST MAGAZINE FEB 2012 ISSUE (reviewed by Jamie Dickson):
"Well seasoned chops from a Brit Bluesman - A veteran who shared stages with Hendrix, Mountain and others - John Verity returns to record some updated takes on blues standards such as Hoochie Coochie Man, and The Thrill is Gone.
The tunes are familiar, so the star attraction here is Verity's unhurried, classy phrasing on his fat-toned Fret-King Super 60.
Its interesting how he phrases his vocal in a similar way to his guitar licks-creating a call and response interplay between the two that heightens each track.
Classic blues guitar with a twist of forward thinking"
There's more but you'll have to buy the mag!!
Leo had it right - the music video
Here it is, the finished article, the video for Leo had it right -
Thanks to Rob Collins at Definition Films for doing a great job -
but most of all thanks to Leo Fender for a lifetime of inspiration,
including the inspiration to write and record this song.
Available now on CD via our merchandise section and for download too -
but first just watch the video - filmed right here in beautiful Cardington UK!
Tell your friends about us - spread the word: Leo Had It Right!!

My guitars were designed and built especially for me, are kept in great shape and use vintage formula electronics. Every device in my setup is chosen to have no detrimental effect on the tone of my guitars.
As ever, !'ve covered some great songs written by other people - great to sing, great to play, but also included some of my own original stuff. This time I have the pleasure of releasing the very first version of a song that I didn't write - 'Would You' - written by Viv Boucherat & Chris White. The lead vocal on this track is by Bianca Kinane, who I toured with many years ago, and who has remained one of my favourite vocalists. Its a pleasure to be working with you again Bianca - your voice touches my heart - and touches my soul... Which brings me to the other duet by Bianca and yours truly - 'Touch My Soul'. I tried to get the feel of an old Stax record on this one, and to that end we used a real brass section - none of your keyboard nonsense!

Following Monday's announcement by Airbus that it plans to open an final assembly plant in Mobile, AL, congratulatory massages began to roll in from companies that do business with the European planemaker.
Pratt & Whitney provides engines for the entire Airbus A320 family of aircraft. Those include the PurePower PW1100G-JM engine and the V2500 engine through IAE International Aero Engines. "Airlines continue to recognize the tremendous value of the A320 aircraft as they upgrade their fleets. Airbus' decision to open a new production facility and create high-tech jobs here in the United States is a very positive sign for the entire aerospace industry," said UTC Chairman and Chief Executive, Louis Chenevert. "I applaud the Airbus leadership team for their vision and long-term commitment to supporting customers in the United States and around the world."
"Today's (Monday's) announcement by Airbus is great news for the American aerospace industry and American workers," said Pratt & Whitney President, David Hess. "Pratt & Whitney looks forward to building on our longstanding partnership with Airbus and powering many of the aircraft being assembled in Mobile."
JetBlue, which operates a fleet of 123 Airbus A320 aircraft in a 150-seat configuration, was equally effusive. "On behalf of JetBlue's 14,000 crewmembers, I extend our congratulations to our business partner Airbus on today's exciting announcement," said Dave Barger, JetBlue Airways President and CEO. "JetBlue is the largest A320 operator in the world, and as an airline focused on serving the Americas, it's wonderful to welcome production of this aircraft to our own shores. Airbus has always created jobs in America - first with helping to create 14,000 JetBlue crewmember positions, and now with this manufacturing facility in Mobile, Alabama."
JetBlue supported the announcement with a specially chartered A320 aircraft, flown from the airline's Orlando focus city to Brookley Field. Last year JetBlue announced a new fleet order of 40 Airbus A320neo aircraft, with deliveries starting in 2018.

Marysville, CA
Every year, Marysville locals get a chance to celebrate an important part of their history with the Bok Kai Parade. One of the oldest continuing parade traditions in the state, the Bok Kai Parade connects intimately with the Bok Kai Temple. This temple, built by Chinese immigrants who came to mine for gold, has weathered both the passing of time and a couple of floods during its history. The parade has plenty of floats and a number of cultural events. Every year, there is an appearance by the Bok Kai Parade Dragon in all its majesty.
The Mary Aaron Museum, located in the historic home of Warren P. Miller, is a great place to learn about the history of Marysville. Miller was a politician and architect in Marysville during California Gold Rush times, making a profit designing buildings for incoming gold miners. He also designed his own house, which was later part of a donation to the city to serve as a museum. The museum currently houses a number of examples of Victorian-era decor as well as exhibitions of photography from the early history of Marysville, period musical instruments, and many documents and records from the early days of the town.
Marysville has many parks for a small town, a fact much appreciated by Marysville locals. There is a wide range of parks, from relaxed picnic spaces to sports facilities. The Riverfront Park Complex offers a driving range, multiple soccer fields, the Lion's Grove picnic area, and even motocross and BMX tracks. Bryant Field is the home of the local Gold Sox baseball team and available for rent in the off-season for baseball fans. Ellis Lake provides a tranquil setting for a walk or a picnic. All in all, there is a park for everyone in Marysville.

Health Sciences collaboration grant awards from prior years
The following four projects were awarded funds in July 2013, provided by the Binghamton University Road Map through the Provost's Office and the Division of Research with the goal of encouraging faculty to develop collaborative projects that stimulate the advancement of new ideas that can build Binghamton University's expertise toward a national center designation in the area of the health sciences. This competitive, peer-reviewed program is providing initial support for proposed long-term programs of collaborative research that have strong potential to attract external funding.
- A New Strategy to Prevent Neoronal Glutamate Excitotoxicity
Glutamate transporters play essential roles in controlling the levels of the neuro-transmitter glutamate in the normally-functioning mammalian brain. When energy supply to neurons is interrupted, as encountered under ischemic conditions, glutamate transporters reverse their transport direction, releasing glutamate into the extracellular space instead of taking it up. This uncontrolled glutamate release can result in the widespread death of neurons. The long-term goal of the present collaborative project between the Werner and Grewer laboratories is to explore new strategies to prevent glutamate-induced excitotoxicity under conditions of energy deprivation, potentially leading to new avenues to combat stroke. Specifically, our aim is to develop cell- permeable, competitive inhibitors that selectively block glutamate release by reverse transport, without minimally affecting glutamate uptake under physiological conditions. Preliminary results based on a compound we have already synthesized show that glutamate release can be blocked in a model system. Conceptually and methodologically, the proposed research is innovative because we expect to identify novel methods and strategies for modulation of the glutamate release rate. The expected results could be ultimately used to extend existing, or devise new strategies, to reduce the destructive role of glutamate release through glutamate reverse transport in neurodegenerative disease and stroke.

- Eating for 100 Trillion: The Gut Microbiome, Food Additives and Metabolic Disorders
Metabolic disorders are some of the most pressing health-related challenges. Approximately 35 percent of American adults and 17 percent of children are clinically obese, and obese individuals have an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart disease. Obesity was estimated to have increased overall healthcare costs in the United States by $147 billion in 2008 alone. Recent studies have observed associations between the gut microbiome and metabolic disorders, and nanoparticles may be an environmental factor contributing to metabolic disorders through gut microbiome changes. The long-term goal of this work is to develop and utilize in vivo and in vitro systems to study ingested compound toxicity, genetic susceptibility, the role of the gut microbiome and the molecular mechanisms underlying genotype-by-environment interactions affecting metabolic disorders. This project will allow us to investigate how environmental nanoparticle exposure affects the gut microbiome and interacts with genetic variation in populations to influence disease susceptibility. Understanding these relationships, and the mechanisms that drive them, is critical for the development of prevention and intervention strategies at the policy, behavioral and biological levels; and this transdisciplinary work is relevant to the Health Sciences Steering Committee's Themes 1 and 4: Disease Susceptibility, Pathogenesis and Prevention and Individualized Therapeutics.
Principal investigators/departments: Gretchen Mahler, assistant professor of bioengineering, and Anthony Fiumera, associate professor of biological sciences
- A Novel Mobile Hunan-Computer Interaction Approach Based on Wearable Eye-Controlled Glasses for Assisted Living and Health Care
Human computer interaction (HCI) has gained widespread attention because of the increasing demands to interact with computers in a human cognitive sense. Nonconventional HCIs show great potential for controlling computers and smart appliances, which is of particular significance to people with disabilities requiring hands-free alternatives. The movement of the eyes contains a rich source of information and has been widely used as a tool to investigate visual cognition. In this study, we propose a new HCI paradigm, taking advantage of the recent glass-style wearable computing technology. Specifically, we will embed miniaturized dry sensors placed inside the glass arms, which will record eye movements through the measurement of electrooculograph (EOG) signals, and enable users to control the glass or wirelessly tethered devices via intentional eye movements. The aim of the proposed work is to explore a synergistic solution of a truly wearable, eye-controlled mobile HCI device, which can be seamlessly extended to a hands-free assistive control system for people with disabilities or special needs. Proposed research activities include developing a user-friendly, glass-style EOG acquisition system, recognizing and distinguishing various types and levels of eye movements, and investigating a comprehensive eye-movement encoding language for eye-controlled HCI applications.
Principal investigators/departments: Zhanpeng Jin, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Sarah Laszlo, assistant professor of psychology
- Development of a Nanodelivery System for Enhanced Treatment of Biofilm-Related Infections
A new collaborative project between Dr. Amber Doiron (Bioengineering Department) and Dr. Karin Sauer (Biological Sciences Department) was funded by the 2013 Health Sciences Transdisciplinary Area of Excellence. The project brings together Dr. Sauer's expertise in biofilms and Dr. Doiron's expertise in nanoparticle drug delivery formulations. Surface-associated bacterial communities known as biofilms pose significant problems in medicine due to their resistance to killing by antibiotics. Recent evidence suggests that microcolony formation, which is the first step of biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, requires a specific metabolite. Our primary objective is to develop a nanoparticle for co-delivery of agents targeting this metabolite and other aspects of the biolfilm and that may have clinical applications related to health concerns caused by biofilms. Findings from this research are anticipated to be translational with respect to treatment of biofilm infections in wounds and to enable a collaborative proposal to be submitted to the NIH or the DOD in the near future.

The U.S. military's expanded
overseas use of unmanned aircraft highlights the increased
importance of such aerial platforms to current and future military
operations, senior Air Force officers said in Washington
The just-released Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan will
serve as a template for how the Air Force will look in 2047 - the
100th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force -- Gen. William M. Fraser
III, the Air Force's vice chief of staff, told reporters at a
Pentagon news conference.
"The future of our systems is really now," Fraser said. "The Air
Force today looks dramatically different than it did 35 years ago
when I first came aboard on active duty."
The flight plan, he explained, lays out the Air Force's "vision
for maximizing our efforts in unmanned aerial systems" today and in
the future.
"We'll continue to push the UAS envelope," Fraser said, adding
that unmanned systems are unmanned in name only.
"While there may be no airmen
onboard the actual vehicle, there indeed are airmen involved in
every step of the process," Fraser said, including the pilots who
operate the vehicles' remote controls and sensors and maintenance
Unmanned aircraft systems "represent an important addition to
our comprehensive set of Air Force capabilities that actually
define air power," Fraser said.
Lt. Gen. David A. Deptula, the Air Force's deputy chief of staff
for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, told reporters
that unmanned aircraft systems have proven effective during aerial
strike missions against insurgents in Afghanistan and Pakistan,
while also performing surveillance and intelligence-gathering
Persistent flight capability, Deptula said, is one of the
advantages of employing unmanned aerial vehicles in military
"What UASs bring to the table," Deptula explained, "is the
ability to stay in position or maneuver over large areas for a long
period of time - that's where a person in an aircraft becomes a
UAS mission success rates have resulted in high demand for the
unmanned aerial platforms, Deptula said, noting that high- and
medium-altitude UAS overseas combat missions have increased more
than 600 percent during the past six years.
"What the Air Force wants to do," Deptula said, "is to get the
most out of these systems to increase our joint warfighting
capability, while promoting service interdependency and the wisest
use of our taxpayer dollars."
Yet, Deptula said, the flight plan
isn't just about how UASs are employed today, but also about how
unmanned aerial technology could be applied in different mission
realms in order to confront future challenges. For example, he
said, UAS technology could one day be used in a modular platform
that could perform a variety of tasks, such as cargo transport and
aircraft refueling missions.
Deptula equated today's level of UAS development with the
progress made in manned aircraft in the 1920s.
There's "lots of potential" for expanding UAS technology across
the military in the coming years, Deptula said, but he also pointed
out that replacing conventional fighter planes and pilots with
unmanned aerial vehicles is a long way off.
The flight plan doesn't provide specific solutions, but it does
address "concepts and possibilities that will fill in and morph
over time," said Col. Eric Mathewson, the director of the Air
Force's UAS Task Force.
The plan, Mathewson said, "allows us to reach out and talk to
academia and industry, the other services, [Defense
Department]-wide, our coalition and allied partners, and work
together in a more efficient and synergistic way."
