"Ghastly" Graham Ingels (1915 – 1991)
Graham Ingels, the undisputed grand master of horror illustration, began carving his unique style as an independent artist in 1942 with numerous Golden Age comic book publications. He came on board with EC in the late 40's, eventually finding his forte with the New Trend of comics, where his disturbing, atmospheric masterpieces of terror for Tales from the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear, and The Vault of Horror defined the genre and he adopted the nickname "Ghastly". The Ghastly Awards, started in 2011, recognize outstanding achievements in Horror Comics over a range of 15 different categories and pays tribute Ingels by naming this prestigious, annual award after him. Ghastly Graham Ingels is, of course, the first Hall of Fame inductee. (2011 Inductee)
Al Feldstein and his employer William M. Gaines are truly the fathers of the horror comic.
Al Feldstein (b. 1925) hitched up with Gaines and EC comics as a writer/ artist in the late 40s and they hit it off right away, sharing similar ideas and interests. No longer content to follow industry trends, EC started introducing something new; balls to the wall Horror Comics. The genre had previously been touched upon, but in Gaines and Feldstein's hands, horror became powerful and terrifying, as well as a bona-fide moneymaker.
Feldstein edited all three of EC's terror titles for a time (as well as many of their other titles) and his brush created iconic horror images, his typewriter created hundreds of stories that still resonate 60 years later, he helped to create what are inarguably the best horror comics of all time, and he later edited Mad magazine for 30 of its most important years. If that's not enough, he even created the Crypt-Keeper and his GhouLunatic cohorts! (2012 Inductee)
William M. Gaines (1922- 1992) took over the family business in 1947 after the death of his father, comic industry innovator Maxwell Gaines. That business was EC Comics. Hiring Al Feldstein was a stroke of genius and together they inaugurated the first line of real horror comics. Gaines would stay up all night reading pulp horror stories and write down "springboards", ideas that Feldstein could flesh out into full stories. During the 1954 Senate Subcommittee hearings on Juvenile Delinquency, Gaines alone stood up for the rights of people to enjoy horror comics. Despite his best efforts, the dreaded Comic Code came into existence.
Gaines definitely marched to the beat of his own drummer. He was fiercely loyal to his workers (Graham Ingels, who was inconsistent with his romance and western art, was kept on board and allowed to blossom into the definitive horror artist), a generous boss and had the satiric wit that suited him well as the publisher of Mad magazine, a post he kept until his death. (2012 Inductee)
His work at DC in the early 70s, followed by his incredible stint at Warren cemented him as a horror fan's dream come true. The story "Swamp Thing" in DC's House of Secrets #92 (July, 1971, by Wrightson and Len Wein) made him a superstar, as well as the story's main character, who became an industry icon that is still in demand 40 years later. Wrightson's adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein in 1983 brought horror artwork to new heights, with drama and detail never before seen in the genre. He is still going strong, still inking rings around everybody else and still showing that horror can be both beautiful and terrifying. Berni Wrightson is a true living legend. (2012 Inductee)
Archie Goodwin (1937-1998),
Archie Goodwin has won a number of awards for his work in comics and has deserved every one of them. He was a prolific writer for Marvel and DC, finding success writing superhero, war and many other genres of comics. But it is his work in the horror field with Warren Publishing that makes him a shoe-in for inclusion into the Ghastly Hall of Fame.
His writing appeared in the very first issue of warren's Creepy and within 2 issues he was that title's editor. He also handled the editing chores for its sister title Eerie from the beginning. He was responsible for the look and content of the Warren horror mags during their heyday, influencing many imitators but also influencing generations of horror fans and creators. Goodwin's horror writing echoed his favorite childhood comics, the EC line. He left the company in 1967 to work for the big boys but he still found the time to contribute stories to Warren. One of his more horrific forays into the post-Warren comic world was with the editorship of Epic Illustrated, Marvel's answer to Heavy Metal, which featured some pretty good terror tales at times.
Goodwin, who passed away in 1998, was well-liked by his peers and left behind a body of work in all genres for fans to discover and rediscover forever. But that Warren horror stuff... damn, that's some kick-ass horror! (2013 Inductee)
Gene Colan (1926 - 2011)
Gene "The Dean" Colan was born in 1926, in the Bronx, New York. He was heavily influenced by the comic strips in newspapers in his youth, and that lead him to go to art school at the Art Students League of New York. His early work was for Fiction House, in the mid 1940's. He then enlisted in the Army Air Corps, and headed off to the Philippines, where he drew for a local newspaper. Upon returning to New York, he went to work for Timely Comics (a precursor to Marvel). At first, he drew war and crime comics, but then got a break on Captain America (and later Daredevil), but his true calling was realized when he penciled some stories for Strange Tales. These macabre stories really brought out the best in Gene's work, but he also had credits in Tower of Shadows, Weird Thrillers, World of Mystery, Web of Mystery, Spellbound, and others. It wouldn't be until 1972 though, that he would be recognized as a horror comic master. In that year, he began working on Tomb of Dracula, on went on to pencil every single issue in the seventy issue run. His work really jumped off the page when he collaborated with Marv Wolfman, starting on issue number seven. He continued to work in comics until he passed away in June, 2011. He's an Eisner Award winner (2010) and a two time Eagle Award winner (1977,1979), and his presence will be felt for a long time in this industry. Godspeed, Gentleman Gene!

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The ThermoLab Nano is very small, even smaller than the Micro we tested just a few days ago. While the base is nearly the same as the Micro, the Nano is 39mm tall, a full 20mm shorter than the Micro. This will give case modders looking to make extremely small cases the opportunity to do so and still keep their energy efficient processor cool.
The Nano uses an 80mm low noise fan that could be swapped out with another 80mm fan since it uses the wire hanger method to hold everything together. The fan is only 10mm tall so most standard 80mm fans will add to the overall height of the unit, but it would be possible to make the heatsink perform better.
As of this writing I haven't found ThermoLab products listed for sale anywhere in the US, Canada or Europe. That will change before too long since I was able to find the products available at the export and distributer level.

[1214] miRNAs Regulate Myometrial Invasion in Endometrioid Endometrial Carcinoma
Ana Mozos, Emanuela D´Angelo, Cristina Rivera, Elena Serrano, Inigo Espinosa, Luis Catasus, Jaime Prat. Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. Institute of Biomedical Research (IIB Sant Pau). Autonomous University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
Background: Recently, distinct miRNA expressions signatures have been identified in different stages of endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC). The PTEN/AKT pathway is activated in EEC and induces deregulation of various FOXO proteins, a family of transcription factors that controls cell fate. FOXO1 which is involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation, is also controlled by miRNAs. For the first time, we study the expression of miRNA signatures and FOXO1 in a series of non-invasive and invasive EEC.
Design: miRNA expression signatures were studied in a series of 25 EEC and 5 normal endometria. Results, were validated in a series of 41 additional EEC by quantitative PCR for miR-27 and FOXO1, and immunohistochemistry for FOXO1 and active Caspase 3. Also PIK3CA and PTEN gene mutations were assessed by sequencing analysis for exons 9 and 20 of PIK3CA, and exons 1-9 of PTEN genes.
Results: In unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis, normal endometria and non-invasive EEC were grouped together and separately from invasive and advanced stage tumors. A signature of 20 miRNAs was found to be differentially expressed in invasive and non invasive tumors (adjusted p value <0.001). One of them, miR27, was overexpressed in invasive carcinomas when compared to non invasive EEC (p=0.0013) and its expression increased linearly in each stage (p=0.001). Differences between non-invasive and invasive EEC were also observed in the validation group (p=0.045). Moreover, FOXO1, the main target of miR27, was downregulated in invasive tumors when compared to non-invasive tumors (p=0.033). Accordingly, we found that expression of active caspase 3 was higher in non-invasive than in invasive EEC (p=0.023). By immunohistochemistry, all tumors lacked FOXO1 immunoreaction whereas normal endometria were immunoreactive. In invasive tumors, miR27 overexpression (p=0.032) and FOXO1 downregulation (p=0.014) also occurred in unmutated PIK3CA tumors (n=27).
Conclusions: Different miRNA signatures were found in invasive and non invasive EEC. The miR27-FOXO1 tandem inhibits apoptosis and represents an alternative mechanism of tumor cell survival in unmutated PIK3CA cases.

Field Report: Belar FMCS-1
Since 1964 Belar has produced professional broadcast equipment and today, broadcast engineers are universally familiar with Belar. From the moment I started in broadcasting I used Belar modulation monitors to evaluate my stations' modulation and other important parameters. As rudimentary as those old units now seem, I knew I could trust and rely on them. Our FMM-1 and the FMS-1 units were directly wired to the studio monitors and I'd make many a DJ panic when I'd fail to remember this and press one of the CAL buttons -- ppfff!!!!
My high expectation for Belar products was certainly upheld when its Wizard line was introduced. These are professional quality monitors with extremely high reliability and accuracy. No longer did we have to send the units in for calibration, DSP did that job right from the front panel. Usually using the auto-cal function wasn't even necessary because the Wizards don't really ever drift. So solid are these, that in the 15 or so years I've been using them, I can count only two failures. Both on FMSA-1 stereo monitors and both were quickly and economically repaired by Belar factory service.
Ultimately, the time comes when one looks for improvement and even the most dependable instrument gets cast aside for whatever the next generation brings. The Belar FMCS-1 is that next generation tool. Beautifully engineered, well executed, and solid as any that Belar have placed before it.
The FMCS-1 is more than just the next generation in modulation monitoring. Along with improving on what the Wizard system does, it combines several Wizard boxes into one DSP based component. Along with the obvious FM modulation and stereo monitoring and demod capability, the FMCS-1 incorporates an RDS monitor, two SCA monitors, and a spectrum analyzer. This obviously saves space and installation time, but also allows an engineer to have on hand monitoring devices he'd not necessarily have bought separately. Where the Wizard system required options such as the DC4 or OPT2 down converter for direct connection to a transmission line sample or the RFA-4 RF amplifier for off-the-air measurements, the FMCS-1 does not. All of these inputs are supported directly.
The FMCS-1 is HDRadio aware and includes filtering options to improve analog measurement accuracy when used in the company of HD carriers - a feature that will be of increasing importance as we move to higher power HD signals. Add the FMHD-1 for detailed HD Radio monitoring and measurement.
Performance at a glance | ||
■ RF filtering improves HD Radio measurements
■ Frequency agile ■ Spectrum analyzer ■ Email and hardwire alarms ■ FM and two SCA demods, RDS analyzer |
Where the Wizard system features a respectable software and RS-232 remote control interface it only has a few simple contact closures for peak indicators and a "general" alarm. The FMCS-1 adds full IP connectivity but can also be used with a modem or direct connected via RS-232 if needed. Discrete alarms are reported by email via an SMTP mail service and a complete replication of the front panel is by way of Belar's WizWin software. There are also four user-assignable relay-isolated outputs for direct connection to virtually any facility remote control system.
The WizWin software included with the unit can support up to eight devices including the legacy Wizard system and the CSA-1 spectrum analyzer. I have Belar equipment spread around throughout my cluster so I simply have a nicely labeled tab assigned to each device on the connections page of the software. Data logging can be configured too.

Where hotties meet
Launched: 2007

Related information: |
For a first impression of the main flirt & chat sites: For an overview of the best online dating sites: |
UPForIt launched in 2007.
It describes itself as the naughtiest singles community. So it's a place where everybody has the same goals and nobody takes dating too seriously.
The process to create the profile is a bit too long in our opinion, being this a personals site.
It has a mix of normal profile pictures and other very explicit pictures. So if you are looking for a more decent dating site, this is not for you.
UpForIt.com has lots of fun features (such as voice-video chat, text messaging, fun rating icons, gifts, winks, live-webcams...) and a tool-bar to reach those features easily. You can even see if someone is available to meet that night or the next day.
It has a modern design but a bit unstructured.

Rudy Giuliani is among the Republicans in Denver making their case against Barack Obama.
He's doing that by pointing out that Joe Biden made quite a turn around from his position during the primaries, that Obama is not prepared to be president.
"Joe Biden, his running mate... has quite often made the point that Barak Obama is unprepared to lead," Giuliani said. "These are not the usual issues that exist between candidates."
Giuliani says that none of McCain's opponents questioned his readiness to lead during the Republican primaries, but that a number of Democrats had raised that concern about Obama.

BOSTON — It seemed so long ago last year, but here's a reminder of what the American League Cy Young Award balloting looked like in 2010:
1. Felix Hernandez
2. David Price
3. CC Sabathia
4. Jon Lester
5. Jered Weaver
There were three elite lefties in the American League — Price, Sabathia and Lester. Not much really separated them. Price that season had the lowest ERA. Lester had the most strikeouts. Sabathia pitched the most innings.
Three years later, coming off the worst season of his career, Lester has outdueled both Sabathia and Price in the first two weeks of the season.
In 19 innings pitched in his first three starts this season, Lester has yielded three earned runs — good for a 1.42 ERA — while striking out 18 and walking three. Both Price and Sabathia have had individual starts in which they've allowed more runs than Lester has allowed all season so far.
As much as it has surprised anyone who wrote Lester off after last season, he's been the best pitcher of the three so far. It's early, but he's been one of the best pitchers in the American League so far.
"We fully expected Jon to get back to the levels he's pitched before," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "He's healthy. He's got good stuff. There's no reason he shouldn't get back to that performance level."
"We've come to expect that from him," catcher David Ross said.
Consider the year-by-year progression of Lester, Price and Sabathia since that 2010 season:
Lester: 19-9, 3.25 ERA, 225 strikeouts
Price: 19-6, 2.72 ERA, 188 strikeouts
Sabathia: 21-7, 3.18 ERA, 197 strikeouts
Lester: 15-9, 3.47 ERA, 182 strikeouts
Price: 12-13, 3.49 ERA, 218 strikeouts
Sabathia: 19-8, 3.00 ERA, 230 strikeouts
Lester: 9-14, 4.82 ERA, 166 strikeouts
Price: 20-5, 2.56 ERA, 205 strikeouts
Sabathia: 15-6, 3.38 ERA, 197 strikeouts
There's no doubt that last season was a disaster for Lester. Nothing he tried would work for him.
And when he got himself into tough situations, he usually couldn't find his way out of it. When he had a runner on third and less than two outs, opposing hitters hit .300 and slugged .475 against him. Of the 14 runners who reached third base against him with no outs last season, 11 wound up scoring.
But after Sean Rodriguez hit an RBI double and Lester threw a wild pitch to allow Rodriguez to scoot up to third base with no outs, Lester demonstrated the difference between what he was last year and what he is this year.
Lester first won a six-pitch at-bat against Evan Longoria, tying the slugging third baseman in a knot with a hard cutter in on the hands. He then benefited from a little good fortune — the type of good fortune he didn't get last season — when Mike Napoli made a sprawling catch of a Ben Zobrist line drive down the first-base line. Lester then wiggled out of the jam when Shelley Duncan got on top of a sinker away and grounded it to Will Middlebrooks at third base.
Inning over. Crisis averted.
From there, Lester made the adjustment that got him through the rest of the game. Rodriguez had pulled a fastball on the inner half for a double. In doing so, he scored Desmond Jennings, who had singled by pulling a fastball on the inner half.
From the fourth inning onward, Lester began to use his changeup and the bottom of the strike zone with greater effectiveness. He set down 14 of the final 15 hitters he faced.
"What he really did a good job of was recognizing their approach, which was that they're going to look hard on anything, hard, middle-in especially," catcher David Ross said. "He did a good job going strike one away and then getting that changeup off of that. They didn't know what to look for when we stopped pitching them in."
"We had to slow them down a little bit just with them being on the fastball and cutter so much," Lester said. "We had to make the adjustment, and I was able to do that with throwing a lot of changeups. The fourth and fifth, we threw a lot of changeups, and then it seemed like, when we went back to the fastball in the sixth and seventh, that little question, that little doubt in their mind, kept them off it a little bit."

You're going to have to watch this a couple of times to believe that St. Louis actually intended to pass the puck to Stamkos here. What an incredible play by St. Louis, the slow motion replay does it some justice – as it almost looks like St. Louis flubbed the puck and Stamkos just happened to be in the right place.

It's perhaps easier to forget the name of fired ESPN editor Anthony Federico than it is to forgive the "Chink in the Armor" headline he wrote, but apparently Jeremy Lin did the latter face-to-face with Federico over lunch on Tuesday. "It went incredible," Federico said in a report by Newsday's Anthony Rieber. "I'm just so excited we had a chance to meet. We talked for an hour. I'm just so thankful."
Back in February, Federico sparked a web outrage after using the racist word in the headline on for a story that attributed a New York Knicks' loss to the New Orleans Hornets to its Asian-American point guard Jeremy Lin. Federico called his word choice "an honest mistake," but he was promptly fired amid allegations of racism. "You have to learn to forgive, and I don't even think that was intentional," Lin saidlast month when offered an apology from ESPN, and he made good on that on Tuesday.
"The fact that he reached out to me," Federico told Newsday, which notes that the two spent the lunch briefly talking about that groan-worthy headline. "The fact that he took the time to meet with me in his insanely busy schedule . . . He's just a wonderful, humble person. He didn't have to do that, especially after everything had kind of died down for the most part." We can't help but think that this might have helped clear Federico's name if the lunch had happened earlier. After all, Federico does mention "everything has kind of died", and while he means the hoopla, the media circus, and his firing controversy, "everything" today also includes Linsanity.

PROVIDENCE — The geese were flying out the door. So were the quail.
On Tuesday morning — with Christmas Eve fast approaching — shoppers clutched their tickets and waited patiently outside fish markets for smelts and baccala and calamari, essential to the Italian-American Feast of the Seven Fishes. They lined up at bakeries for cookie baskets and bread.
Kate Champa, of Providence, and her daughter, Sarah Champa, picked up a pre-ordered 13-pound goose ($90 and change) from Antonelli's Poultry, a Federal Hill fixture.
"We'll probably brine it. Stuff it with cranberries, celery, apple, rosemary. Sage. Bread. Onions of course, and oranges," said Sarah Champa, who flew in from Qatar with her husband for the holidays.
Mother and daughter were also reviewing the imprecise family recipe for Brussels sprouts and chestnuts. ("I know there's bourbon in there somewhere," said the elder Champa).
Customer Maria Johnson, a native of Liberia, planned to stew the chicken she bought and serve it with foufou, a traditional African dish made with cassava, yams or plantains.
Antonelli's owner Chris Morris said, "We've sold four thousand chickens in four days. Eighty ducks. And geese — geese are probably the biggest seller at Christmastime."
Morris, an amiable sort, invited a reporter to visit the back of the store, where doomed poultry clucked softly in their cages and the fowl odor was — shall we say — rank.
"It smells funny, right?" Morris said. He laughed. "To me it smells like money."
As in, "ka-ching!"
Forty-three people stood outside the Captain's Catch in North Providence at 8:45 a.m. for the 9 a.m. opening; a line that evoked blizzard panic-buying of ice melt and snow shovels.
Owner Mark Castelli handed out tickets; then opened the store early as customers rushed to buy lobster, shrimp, scallops and other seafood delicacies.
In Providence's Olneyville neighborhood, pastelitos de guayaba were selling fast at the Panaderia Salvadoreña bakery. The flaky pastries ooze guava paste, and sometimes, soft cheese.
Rick Bassett drove from Swansea to Providence to buy Zuppa Inglese (Italian for "English soup") at Scialo Bros. Bakery early Tuesday afternoon.
"It's been a family tradition for years," said Bassett as he waited to pick up the luscious, lady-fingered and liquored sponge cake. "It's incredible."
During a brief break, co-owner Lois Scialo Ellis said she was exhausted, but perhaps not quite as exhausted as some of her employees.
"We have a wonderful staff. They've been up all night," Ellis said.
"The big, big thing, we ship all over the country is the Italian cookie tray," Ellis said.
Ellis proudly displayed a cellophane-wrapped dessert: struffole (sometimes spelled "struffoli"), a Neapolitan traditional Christmas Eve treat.
"We're the only ones around" who make it and sell it, Ellis said. "It's egg dough, deep fried, rolled with honey" and sprinkled with 'Italian confetti' (multi-colored candy sprinkles), and piled neatly onto an edible candy dish. It's a Christmas Eve tradition.
"Tonight, we'll take it home — and we eat, we talk, we nibble."

Family life changes Hjorth for better
For most of Maria Hjorth's life, golf held the top priority among everything else.
That has changed in recent years, as the talented Swede started a family with her husband Shaun McBride, a caddie on the PGA Tour. The couple welcomed daughter Emily in 2009, and Hjorth was forced to shift her priorities.
That was far from a bad thing for the 14-year LPGA Tour pro.
"My life was golf for 30 years, so having a baby has helped me a lot to get a better perspective," Hjorth said. "Having something else to think about and worry about has helped me, because I'm not out there grinding for hours on the putting green or the driving range. You can have great practice in less time and then have time for your family. You don't get as annoyed if you have a bad round, because you can go see your daughter and your family. So, I think it's really helped me."
The perspective has been good for Hjorth, who has two wins in the last two seasons and has yet to miss a cut in 17 events in 2011.
Traveling with a baby is a challenge for any parent, but when your profession constantly takes you to different locales, hurdles can become magnified. Hjorth employs a nanny who helps with Emily both at home and on the road, and she also takes advantage of the Tour's highly successful Smucker's LPGA Child Development Center that is on Tour most weeks.
"She doesn't travel with me every week I'm on Tour," Hjorth said of Emily. "We're lucky because she likes to be on airplanes. We just make sure we have more time at airports to make connections.
"It's important to have someone else out there with me so she doesn't have to spend all day in daycare and can sleep to when she wants in the morning if I have an early tee time. We just try to keep as much of a routine as possible, and I think that's very important for her. If kids have a routine, I think they sleep better and are happier overall."
Hjorth and McBride, who caddies for Bryce Molder, do some scheduling gymnastics to make sure they are not apart from each other for too long a stretch.
"He gets to set his own schedule in a way, and Bryce will let Shaun work for him when he can work," Hjorth said. "Shaun does 18 to 20 events a year, and we fit it around my schedule as well to make sure we're not away from each other for too long. It's hard, but it's usually just for a few weeks, and that works. We're both happy with what we're doing, and we meet in the middle when we have time together."
Happiness is often a byproduct of a balanced life, and Hjorth has found that to be true firsthand. She's hoping her contentment will continue to translate into wins on the golf course.
"Things are really good, and I'm looking forward to the last part of the year," said Hjorth, who won the Avnet LPGA Classic in Mobile, Ala., in April. "Hopefully, I can pull off another win before the season is done. Everything feels in order, so I'm just going to have to be patient and be out there and be in contention. Hopefully, it will happen again one day."

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Supreme Court has halted the planned execution of inmate Donald Beaty, who was scheduled to be given a lethal injection Wednesday morning for the rape and murder of a 13-year-old Tempe girl in 1984.
The temporary stay of execution was issued late Tuesday night after Arizona officials said they had planned to replace one of three drugs to be used in the execution because federal officials contended the state failed to fill out a form to import the drug being swapped out.
That prompted Beaty's lawyers to file motions seeking the stay of execution from the state's highest court and the U.S. District Court in Phoenix, arguing he hadn't had adequate opportunity to review the late change in drug protocol.
Defense attorney Dale Baich said "a rush to execute Beaty under these circumstances would be unconscionable."
The court set a hearing on the matter for Wednesday morning.
The attorney general's office notified the state Supreme Court on Tuesday that the Corrections Department would replace sodium thiopental with another sedative - pentobarbital.
The state's filing said the Corrections Department was making the swap because a U.S. Justice Department official told the state the Drug Enforcement Administration believes the Corrections Department "failed to fill out one of the forms necessary for importation of sodium thiopental from a foreign source."
Defense lawyers for Arizona death row inmates for months have questioned whether the state legally imported its supply of sodium thiopental. State officials previously acknowledged a miscoding on an importation form but insisted they acted legally in obtaining a supply of sodium thiopental from a British supplier last year.
"The question of whether the Department of Corrections legally imported the drug has now been answered," Baich said before the temporary stay was granted.
Several other states have already switched to pentobarbital because sodium thiopental is in short supply nationally, and state Corrections Director Charles Ryan has said previously that Arizona planned to switch to that drug also.
DEA officials seized several states' supplies of sodium thiopental because of importation issues.
The Arizona filing said DEA "has not taken any action against the Arizona Department of Corrections to date" and that the Justice Department official who contacted the department Tuesday "offered no explanation for the timing of the call."
Department of Justice spokeswoman Laura Sweeney declined comment.
Natasha Minsker, death penalty policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of California, said Arizona's "11th-hour switch to another execution drug" was unconscionable.
"Rather than rushing to change the rules to carry out an execution, we all should be asking why state and federal officials failed for months to follow or enforce the law," Minsker said in a statement.

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
7 The sailors said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, so that we may know on whose account this calamity has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. | 7 Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. |
8 Then they said to him, "Tell us why this calamity has come upon us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?" | 8 So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?" |
9 "I am a Hebrew," he replied. "I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land." | 9 He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land." |
10 Then the men were even more afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done!" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them so. | 10 This terrified them and they asked, "What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.) |

WASHINGTON, February 7, 2013 —The 2013 NCAA Championships are scheduled to take place in over a month from now in San Antonio Texas, but it's never too early to make predictions.
This championship will feature an array of 2012 London Olympics, ten reigning or former NCAA champions, and dozens of fencers ranked at the top of the United States points list. Assuming the regional qualifications go according to expectation, this could shape up to be one of the most competitive tournaments in NCAA fencing history.
For those unaware of the format, the tournament is divided into six events: Men's Epee, Men's Foil, Men's Sabre, Women's Epee, Women's Foil, and Women's Sabre. Each event is comprised of 24 competitors who fence each other in five-touch, round robin format over the course of two days. At the conclusion of the round robin fencing, the school that has earned the most victories will be the NCAA team champions.
Once the round robin is complete, the top four fencers in each event compete in 15-touch single elimination bouts for the right to be crowned NCAA individual champion. The individual title is independent of the team championships.
My predictions cover the fencers I believe will be in the top 3 of each event, and my overall national champion predictions:
Men's Epee — Men's epee will surely be a tough field, with All-Americans Jonathan Yergler, Kristian Boyadzhiev, Marco Canevari, Alen Hadzic, Peregrine Badger, Ed Kelley, Adam Watson, and James Kaull returning, and powerhouse freshmen Jack Hudson and Brian Ro entering college at Princeton and Columbia respectively. Expect to see Yergler become one of four men's epee champions to repeat in the last decade, with freshman Brian Ro sneaking into the top 3.
1. Jonathan Yergler (Princeton)
2. Kristian Boyadzhiev (Ohio State)
3. Brian Ro, James Kaull (Columbia, Notre Dame)
Men's Foil — Talk about another stacked field. The reigning NCAA Men's Foil Champion (Shaito) squaring off against two London 2012 Olympians (Chamley-Watson and Meinhardt). I'm expecting Meinhardt to claim his 2nd NCAA title in a close one over Chamley-Watson, with each of the Olympians facing little resistance en route to the gold medal match. Don't be surprised if Notre Dame senior and former NCAA champ Ariel DeSmet ends up on the medal stand either.
1. Gerek Meinhardt (Notre Dame)
2. Alex Massialas (Stanford)
3. Miles Chamley-Watson, Zain Shaito (Penn State, Ohio State)
Men's Sabre — I pick Daryl Homer to win his 3rd title and didn't think twice about making this prediction. Homer is returning to St John's University after redshirting to train for the Olympics. Currently ranked #1 in the US and in the top 10 in the world, the 2013 NCAA Men's Sabre title is Homer's to lose. Speaking to a few Division I coaches, I'm told that Notre Dame junior Kevin Hassett has a hot hand right now. He could be this tournament's individual dark horse.
1. Daryl Homer (St. Johns)
2. Will Spear (Columbia)
3. Michael Josephs, Kevin Hassett (Columbia, Notre Dame)
Women's Epee — Women's epee will be the single toughest event at the 2013 championships. Three individual champions returning (Courtney Hurley, Katarzyna Dabrowa, Margherita Guzzi-Vincenti)), two members of the Olympic bronze medal team (Hurley and Susie Scanlan), and nine fencers currently ranked in the top 15 in the country (Hurley, Scanlan, Francesca Bassa, Kat Holmes, Lydia Kopecky, Ashley Severson, Isabel Ford, Courtney Dumas, and Dabrowa). Hurley will win her 2nd title, and Holmes will narrowly edge out Susie Scanlan to make the final match. I wouldn't be surprised if Milwaukee North American Cup Silver Medalist and Notre Dame Freshman Ashley Severson ends up tied for third. The medal stand in women's epee will consist of Notre Dame and Princeton, and no one else.
1. Courtney Hurley (Notre Dame)
2. Kat Holmes (Princeton)
3. Susie Scanlan, Ashley Severson (Princeton, Notre Dame)
Women's Foil — Two out of four competitors on the USA women's foil Olympic team would be competing in the 2013 championships (Lee Kiefer, Nzingha Prescod), but there is a senior foil world cup the same weekend in Turin; thus, Kiefer and Prescod are unlikely to compete. However, Columbia's depth in Women's Foil is so great, that even their alternate, freshman Jacquie Dubrovich is capable of being a medalist. Evgeniya Kipircheva will be looking to defend her 2012 title and given the ease at which she won last year, I believe she will repeat. I predict Lee's sister Alex, the 2011 NCAA champion to resurge and make the semifinal, which she failed to do last year.
1. Evgeniya Kipircheva (St. Johns)
2. Jacquie Dubrovich (Columbia)
3. Madison Zeiss, Alex Kiefer (Notre Dame, Harvard)
Women's Sabre — No Olympians in this field but a tough one nonetheless. In my "sisterly all-American" prediction, I think we'll see the Stone sisters of Princeton (Gracie and Eliza) at the top of the field. Limbach, the third place winner last year will capture her first NCAA championship.
1. Anna Limbach (St. Johns)
2. Gracie Stone (Princeton)
3. Faizah Muhammad, Eliza Stone (New Jersey Institute of Technology, Princeton)
1. National Champions: Notre Dame
2. Princeton University
3. Ohio State University

While awfully good at playing it bad as Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives, and serving as host of the popular TV reality show The Biggest Loser – actress/mom Alison Sweeney has recently taken on another role: advocate for allergy sufferers.
Having been plagued by seasonal allergies all her life, she knows firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle a multi-tiered career with 'mom duties' – but when pollen counts soar it can be devastating.
"I do my best to avoid my allergy triggers, but sometimes it's just impossible," says Sweeney. "I don't want to give up things that are important to me like playing with the kids outside or going to the park, so I just keep my allergy/decongestant medicine with me so I'm prepared."
To help others with their allergies, Sweeney has teamed up with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) to get the word out, an effort that includes access to a new online resource, www.BTCcenter.com, featuring Sweeney's personal tips, treatment information and an interactive tool to help determine if allergies are responsible for their nasal congestion.
Here's how life as a mom goes for her.
The Facts
At Work: Days of Our Lives actor-director; host of The Biggest Loser; author of All the Days of My Life (So Far), a memoir tracking her experiences as child actor and her struggle with weight issues.
At Home: Los Angeles; mother of two: son, Ben, 4 and daughter, Megan, five months; husband, David, a California Highway Patrol officer.
Q. What is your favorite activity with your children?
AS: I love playing with Ben... seeing him use his colorful imagination. We go for great family hikes at a nearby park, play tee-ball or just Legos in his bedroom. Megan is at the age now where she recognizes our face and voices. She's constantly smiling and trying to talk. I love to sit with her and read stories, and laugh.
Q. What is the most important lesson you try to impart to your children?
AS: I guess the most important thing to me is to give Ben a solid sense of self, good manners, and to laugh. He has such a kind heart and is always smiling (well almost always!). I love to see him interact with Megan. He wants to help take care of her, and share his things with her.
He even did this before she was born! We would play a game, and Ben would say, "This color [game piece] is my baby sister's." We would have to take a turn for her too.
Q. Who was your greatest child-raising influence and why?
AS: My mother definitely has influenced how I raise my children. She had a career and family, which can be a difficult thing to balance. It is inspiring to know that she was able to manage a household, career, husband and three children in a time when this was not the norm for women. I also rely on my sister-in-law and friends. There are some things in life that are just easier to talk about and ask advice on from a girlfriend over a glass of wine!
Q. What is your approach to disciplining your children?
AS: My husband and I feel strong about presenting a united front to our children. Communicating the rules – and the consequences for breaking them – is very important, therefore we set both together and there is never a misunderstanding, "Mommy said...or Daddy said..." Also, Dave and I were raised with a firm belief in the importance of manners AND being well behaved. This can be tough with a four-year-old because they are always pushing the boundaries, and learning to exert their independence. For us, it is really important to set those limits right from the beginning while respecting the need to develop a sense of independence.
Q. What was a memorable family outing?
AS: Last summer my family vacationed in Martha's Vineyard. We stayed at a wonderful inn. Cars aren't really allowed on the island so we rented bikes. It was a small town with little shops and restaurants and the beach. For that week we were able to slow down! We walked and biked everywhere, spent lazy days on the beach, and caught up on some great books. It was fabulous to be away from the fast pace and just simply enjoy some good old-fashioned family time.

NOTE: The following content and images CANNOT be reproduced without the written consent of the City of Bloomington. Pond Family heritage timeline1808 - 1893Samuel Pond (1808-1891) and Gideon Pond (1810-1878) were born into a mostly rural United States comprised of 17 states with a population of slightly over 7 million. These brothers from Connecticut were two of the most influential persons interacting with the Dakota Indians on the 19th century Minnesota frontier. Gideon and Samuel served as missionaries, language translators, agricultural instructors, carpenters, farmers and ongoing advocates for fair treatment of American Indians. By the time of Samuel's death in 1891, the United States had matured into a nation of 44 states with a population of 63 million and was an emerging global power. Minnesota, which was organized as a Territory in 1849 and became a state in 1858, grew from a population of approximately 7,000 in 1850 to 1,300,000 in 1890. Steady change was characteristic of all aspects of American life in the mid to late 19th century. The Industrial Age was transforming city and rural areas through science and technology. Native American Indians no longer roamed free but were confined to reservations and prohibited from practicing their own religion. Other American religions had become more numerous and diverse because of immigration and Christian churches were becoming more independent than their European counterparts.

Sigiriya Tree Houses
20 Mins from Sigiriya, 3.30 hrs from Colombo International Airport.
A perfect Eco Hideaway in the Cultural Triangle. The small wattle and daub restaurant / lounge area is situated in a central clearing overlooking a man made pond. Guests can sleep in a tree house or a wooden cottage on stilts that incorporates the natural landscape, including trees and large granite boulders. Go on a nature trail with the in-house naturalist and on the way back, cool off with a dip in the Dehigahaela. Once back at the retreat, indulge in sumptuous traditional rice and curry meal cooked in clay pots. Life at this truly eco-retreat is unhurried. This is nature at its best. The Eco retreat in the cultural triangle spreads over seven acres of wilderness with plenty of birds and, intermittently, even the occasional wild elephant passing by. The Cultural Triangle sites of Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura and the wildlife parks of Minneriya, Kaudulla and Wasgomuva can be accessed from here.
• Eco minded travellers
• Those seeking tranquility
• Those who enjoy nature at its best
• To explore Sri lanka's Cultural triangle |Sigiriya | Anuradhapura | Polonnaruwa | Dambulla
4 lodges, accommodating up to 10 adults. Separate driver's and tour guide's quarters are available.
First tree House:
Built into a spreading Damba tree, this follows the pale structure in many ways, except the toilet and shower! A modern open plan toilet and hot & cold shower has been built at the base of the tree. The large sleeping area is on a double layer platform supported by the main branches of the Damba tree. The upper platform easily accommodates three adults or a family. Sit on the lower platform and look out to the distant Nuwaragala mountains or keep watch for elephants in the night.
Second tree House:
This is based on the watch hut, butit is built on the high branches of the Kon tree, when the clearing was used for cultivation. It is the smallest and most basic of the lodges and accommodates three twin mattresses. The property has added a space for relaxing at ground level as well as modern toilet and shower facilities. The hot water system is still not installed to this unit. Due to the height of the sleeping deck, we think it is best if only adults - with a good head for heights! use this lodge.
Boulder Cottage 1:
Built incorporating two huge granite boulders that are embedded in the forest slope, this lodge is barely visible from the open green. The large wooden platform that makes up the upper floor can accommodate three adults, and is ideal for a family. The modern toilet and hot & cold shower leads off from the upper deck and is built into the side of the granite boulder. For idling your time away, a huge flat granite slab acts as the mezzanine floor, with the trees and stars as the roof. At the ground level it is designed a living area curving itself around another giant boulder.
Boulder Cottage 2:
A gal debokka (space to climb in between boulders) and a gal ande (stone bed) provided the inspiration for this cottage. Red brick steps lead between the boulders to the upper deck which can accommodate up to two adults or a small family. The lower living area is set around the broad gal ande curving around a boulder. The modern attached toilet and hot & cold shower is set into hill side leading directly from the sleeping deck.
The restaurant is near a lounge area, which also has a library offering books on Sri Lanka's wildlife and cultural heritage.Sri Lankan cuisine is served here cooked with fresh vegetables from the village. There is a limited choice of meats.
Solar power is used for h/w and electricity and water on tap is from the well.
The manager here is also a naturalist who is happy to share his knowledge and experience as well as accompany guest on bird watching and nature trails. There is also a cook and caretaker.
• Go bird watching and trekking in the surrounding wilderness.
• Explore the remote village of Alakolaweva with its wattle and daub village homes, paddy fields and wayside boutiques.
• Visit the ruins of the ancient Kaludiya Pokuna located 4 kms away.
• Although the large expanse of Minneriya National Park border is just behind this property, the entrance gates are 20 kms away.
• Visit the Sigiriya Rock Fortress, which is only about 20 minutes from here.
• Venture further to Dambulla rock temple, the ruined cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa or the large selection of mystical cultural triangle sites.

I recently became married. However, my husband is not on the lease. HE received a job transfer 5 states away and we need to move in a month. The apartment complex is government-subsidized and they say they don't allow people to break lease for job transfers. There is 6 months left on my lease, and the Landlord told me to leave id have to pay it in full.
Please help, and thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
First, you need to find out what the laws are in your state. Google "[your state] landlord tenant laws" and see what comes up. Second, you need to read your lease very carefully. There are two crucial pieces of information that you need to find. One is if there are any laws in place or clauses in your lease that allow you to break the lease. Usually this does involve paying the landlord a month or two of rent, but that would be better than paying for 6 months for an apartment you can't use. There are some states that allow for lease breaking if you are moving over a certain number of miles away, for example. Or your lease may have information about breaking the lease. Most of the time, if you can break your lease, you still have to pay a month's rent, or even two month's rent. You should be prepared to pay out something in order to get out of the lease, if that is possible. Your landlord expected to have that unit filled and producing rent for another 6 months. He will most likely lose at least one month's rent, as he will need to clean and possibly repaint or re-carpet, advertise and show the unit and do the paperwork involved with renting to a new tenant. It is not unreasonable for a landlord to expect to be compensated for this. He wasn't planning on doing this for months, and usually if you are not renewing your lease, you have to give two or three months notice, which gives the landlord more time to find a new tenant. Second, you need to find out if your state requires your landlord to make a good faith attempt to re-rent your apartment once you have given official notice that you are leaving. Many states require that the landlord try to rent the unit out, instead of just sitting back and doing nothing but collecting the rent on an unoccupied unit. However, you did sign a contract agreeing to pay the rent for a year. And that contract is legally binding. Usually, the worst a landlord will do is report the lack of payment to the credit reporting agencies, where it goes on your credit rating for about 7 years. If you were to need a loan, say a mortgage, during this time, this would affect your chances. You might still be able to get the loan, but at less than optimal terms. The debt might also be turned over to a collection agency. |
I thought of another avenue for you to explore. You said that this was government subsidized housing. You can check with whatever agency oversees this housing to see if they have any rules about breaking the lease. You can also try subletting the apartment, if your lease allows for that. Even if you can't sublet, if you can find a new tenant who qualifies for the housing, that person could lease the apartment and you would be off the hook. And if you do leave the apartment and it is not re-rented and you are still paying rent, have someone check every so often to see if it is occupied. The landlord cannot collect rent from you and from a new tenant. It's against the law. And I know you won't want to do this, but if you have a job where you are now, you could stay where you are for another six months until the lease is up, while your husband goes ahead and finds a new place for the two of you. |
Another issue is, that you were an eligible tenant for the subsidized occupancy. If so, would you still be with your spouses income, and if not, did you report this to the governing agency? Because if you were not, your tenancy has changed and would have caused a new lease to have had to have been negotiated. You may be required to reimburse for overpayment of subsides. When you approach this you need to take into consideration the length of time that it took to have the job offer confirmed and accepted and if you would actually have renegotiated a new lease at this location. |

Syracuse, NY, Dec 08, 2011 -- USDA Rural Development State Director Jill Harvey today announced that six recipients throughout New York State will receive funding to improve access to health care and educational services in rural New York. Funding is provided through the USDA Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) Program.
Hillside Family of Agencies, an organization that works with youth and families facing a wide range of behavioral and emotional challenges, in Central New York State received a DLT grant of $76,610. This project plans to broaden the telehealth services that they currently provide with existing video teleconferencing at two of their campus schools, and then extends their telehealth service locations to two additional outpatient clinics, also in Central New York. This system expansion is focused on telediagnosis, telemedication management and telemonitoring. The project is designed to expand the care capacity of Hillside's psychiatrists, pediatricians and nurse practitioners using new diagnostic software, computer equipment and peripheral devices, such as digital otoscopes, telephonic stethoscopes, and skin cameras.
Cattaraugus Allegany Erie Wyoming Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) received a DLT grant of $375,717. Rural Development funds will be used by eight schools and two BOCES offices in Southwestern New York State to purchase distance learning system components to access courses, teachers and services that are not currently available. Classes will also originate from the hub sites and outside-the-project sites newly made available by linking to New York's Regional Information Centers. Science, technology, engineering, math, dual credit, advanced placement, college and enrichment programs, career readiness courses and other adult education courses will all be offered to students and community members. Educators will be able to take professional development classes, as required for certification. The hub site at Olean is to get a multi-point bridge and recording/streaming equipment. All sites will receive video conferencing equipment, some with document cameras and related peripheral equipment.
Elizabethtown Community Hospital received a DLT grant of $134,931. Funds will be used at six sites, including three community health centers, a county jail, and two hospital sites at Elizabethtown, one of those serving as the hub of this telemedicine network. The hub site will acquire a multi-point video bridge and firewall transversal, and the sites will be equipped with video conferencing units and peripheral devices for input, such as examination cameras, digital stethoscopes, and various other scoping devices. The end result being that residents throughout these Adirondack Mountain communities in and around Essex County will for the first time have local access to specialist physicians, particularly ENT physicians, dermatologists, and opthamologists . Elizabethtown will also extend its cardiac rehabilitation program through the video network.
Franklin - Essex - Hamilton BOCES received a DLT grant of $142,162. Funds will be used to purchase video conferencing equipment and bridging capabilities so that they can share classes, and boost the availability of technical education, dual enrollment and other courses that were previously unavailable to them. Along the Canadian border in New York State a partnership of 10 schools will invest in improving their students' achievement by installing a distance learning video conferencing network. Sites include K-12 schools, high schools, a private academy and an education center. The system will bring in connections to St. Regis Mohawk Reservation through its local schools and provide health programs and other shared courses. The project will find collaborative ways to preserve and build upon tribal language and culture working with Mohawk Elders. Plans are to find multiple uses within the community, such as providing a training platform for local emergency services.
Otsego Northern Catskills BOCES received a $220,339 DLT grant. Rural development funds will be used by this project to expand from a distance learning grant last year to include three new school sites, and adds an extra distance learning classroom to a school where demand has exceeded the school's capacity for classroom space. Four schools will receive video conferencing equipment that will enable the Otsego Northern Catskills BOCES distance learning system to reach further into Central New York State. Students, their parents and other community residents in these new communities will have access to the classes and other educational resources that are available from an existing network, such as dual enrollment classes, expanded career and adult education programs, and collaborative professional development.
Wayne Finger Lakes Board of Cooperative Education Services also received a DLT grant for $311,337. These funds will be used for distance learning equipment for 14 rural public schools in Wayne County, and equipment for the hub site at the Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES office to manage and participate in the video conferencing system. The schools will share classes among themselves, and in particular the high schools will function as course providers. Equipment includes both wall-mounted display units for distance learning classrooms and video systems mounted on mobile carts used for multiple locations within a school or facility. Client software will allow students access on their PCs or laptops so that materials presented will not be exclusively limited to videoconferencing locations. The BOCES office will originate classes for the public schools and also offer classes for teachers and school staff that couldl apply toward general equivalency diplomas and other professional certifications. The BOCES will make the system available for police, fire fighters, and emergency medical staff in their training initiatives
"Our DLT program delivers educational and medical opportunities that are urgently needed in remote, rural areas," Harvey said. "President Obama has said that no matter where you live in America, you should have access to quality educational opportunities. Rural Americans deserve the same opportunities for education and medical care as metropolitan-area residents, and these funds will make that happen."
Since taking office, President Obama's Administration has taken historic steps to improve the lives of rural Americans, put people back to work and build thriving economies in rural communities. From proposing the American Jobs Act to establishing the first-ever White House Rural Council – chaired by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack – the President wants the federal government to be the best possible partner for rural businesses, entrepreneurs and people who want to live, work and raise their families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Development has a portfolio of more than $160 billion in loans and loan guarantees.
