This butter with red wine mixed in, known as compound butter, acts as an instant sauce and adds a nice note when used to garnish meat dishes, such as our Bistecca Fiorentina, or mixed into green beans just before serving.
This recipe was featured in our Valentine's Day story.
- 1Use a rubber spatula to soften butter in a mixing bowl until it is very spreadable. Add wine and salt and mix until thoroughly combined.
- 2Place compound butter on a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log and twist the ends to seal. Place butter in the refrigerator to harden.

He's been pick or ban for a reaaaaalllllyyyy long time and his existence on a team renders enemy ad carries of any range completely obsolete. Unlike shen, ali, and blitz malphite could actually be fixed by a number nerf which makes it far more simple. The few "counters" to him are pretty much skillfights anyways so there's really no way around him. He'salso a double or even triple threat(mid,jung,and top).
ND Horus
clever playing can completely shut him down, as well as counterpicking. Go search the hotshotgg "gg son" malphite ult dodge with flash. if you anticipate it, you can basically dodge it. i once even saw a malphite trying to ult through a destroyed tower. haha the dead tower stopped him short
If I could change 1 thing on him it would be this: make his rock roll slow a skillshot rather than a targeted ability (and that it could be blocked by minions). That's it.
Few counters? AP in general> Malphite
in lane, he sucks, in jungle, he's easily counter jungled, and take his blue and he's dead.
I love the enemy picking malphite cause it's rare that he's not picked top, so I counter pick voli build AP and flat eat him after lvl 6, demoralize his team by the time team fights break out as he's given up a billion kills to an armored bear and gotten me my items super fast. He's REALLY easy to shut down. The only reason he's banned so much is that he's annoying with that ult. that is it. Not strong, just annoying so banned.
JJ Unbreakable
Malphite's only advantage is the current meta. He breaks AD that goes top. AP top champs break him. He has good ganks but so do most junglers. He's nothing special in that department.

Native name: Inis Sionnach | |

Haulbowline in Ireland
Geography | |
Location | County Cork, Ireland |
Coordinates | 51°50.5′N 8°18′W / 51.8417°N 8.300°W |
Area | 35 ha (86 acres) |
Country | |
Province | Munster |
County | Cork |
Water body | Cork Harbour |
Haulbowline (Irish: Inis Sionnach), is the name of an island in Cork Harbour off the coast of Ireland. The western side of the island is the main naval base and headquarters for the Irish Naval Service, with the eastern side previously used for heavy industry. The island is connected to the mainland by roadbridge.
The island's name may derive from Old Norse ál-boling or similar = "eel dwelling" ("area where there are conger eels"). The 17th and 18th-century spellings end in "-ing"; there may have been nautical influence on the spelling later. The Irish language name for the island, Inis Sionnach, translates to "island of the fox".
At a strategic and deepwater position in the harbour, the island has long been a military base. The island was first fortified in 1602, and initially an important base for the British Army. In 1603 the Cork city fathers were accused of attempting to demolish it, and William Meade, the Recorder of Cork, was charged with treason as a result. Later, the British Army moved to nearby Spike Island, and the fortifications were handed over to the Royal Navy. The Navy established a large arsenal on the island, and a Martello tower and naval dockyard were built during the Napoleonic Wars.
The world's first yacht club was founded in Haulbowline in 1720.[1]
Unlike the other fortifications in Cork Harbour, which formed part of the treaty ports, the dockyard was handed over to the Irish Free State in 1923, and remains the main naval base and headquarters for the Irish Naval Service. The majority of the Naval Service campus is on the west of the Island – save for the service's football pitch which was reclaimed from land on the eastern side in the 1980s.[2] In September 2014, the Minister for Defence Simon Coveney announced plans for a €50m upgrade of the naval base with improved quays to cater for the Naval Service's new ships and the construction of a runway to enable the Naval Service to operate UAV drones.[3]
In March 2008, one of the historic 19th century industrial storehouses on Haulbowline Island was destroyed by fire.[4]
Industry and development[edit]
Irish Steel (later known as Irish Ispat) was based on the east of the island between 1938 and 2002.[5] During this time, waste products from the steel making process were dumped or stored on the site, and radioactive and Chromium 6 contamination remained in the soil after the plant closed.[6] The contamination from this period of industrial use has been cited as a potential impact to the future development of the island,[7] and campaigners, including Erin Brockovich,[8] had requested government action on the contamination issue.[9]
In July 2006, it was announced that the former steel plant site would be developed with apartments, offices, a hotel and a marina.[10] However, no definitive use for the site was confirmed for some years,[11] until plans publicised by the Department of Agriculture and the Marine in 2014 anticipated the upgrading of the island's road bridge,[12] to facilitate the clean-up of the site,[13] for possible redevelopment as a park.[14]

Effective personal statements tell a concise but vivid story about an applicant's uniqueness and suitability for a career in medicine.
Amanda Kirzner, DO, MPH, says real-world residency is nothing like its thrill-a-minute depiction on "Grey's Anatomy."
Forsaking the traditional interview, some DO schools are running candidates through a series of quick, scenario-driven conversations.
"The GME system is not aligned with the direction that American health care is going," says Barbara Ross-Lee, DO, who helped prepare the IOM's GME report.
Roughly 150 students attended the National Osteopathic Student Caucus, which was open to all osteopathic medical students.
Five notable new DOs share their insights on choosing a residency, thoughts on the current state of medicine and advice for students.
Because there is no way to learn everything a doctor needs to know during training, lifelong learning is a critical skill for physicians.
"Working in EMS first is a great way to see if you like patient care," says Whitney Hopkins, OMS I, of her decade-long EMS career.
Was your prehealth adviser knowledgable about DOs? Here's what the profession is doing to raise awareness.
During National ShaDO Week later this month, premeds will shadow osteopathic medical students to learn more about the profession.
Primary care residency program leaders have nuanced views on the meaning of the phrase practice-ready physicians.
Some argue that three years of GME is excessive. Yet physicians who skip residency face a number of hurdles, especially when it comes to employment.

FCI And 3M Announce Second-source Agreement For HPCE And HP2 Power Products
FCI, a leading supplier of power products and interconnect systems, and 3M have entered into a second-source agreement covering the High Power Card Edge (HPCE ®) and HP2 ™ power product families.
"We are excited about this opportunity," said Dong Yu, global power portfolio director at FCI. "Working with 3M will drive the standard for low-profile, high-efficiency power connectors and cable assemblies. HPCE already has great traction in the market and HP2 will further extend the family with innovative, two-piece solutions for board-to-board and cable-to-board applications."
"3M is extremely pleased to work with FCI by providing the industry with a second source of FCI's innovative HPCE and HP2 power connectors and cable assemblies," said David Schneider, global business manager for interconnect, 3M Electronic Solutions Division. "FCI's expertise in power product design and 3M's expertise in connector technology and material science is a good match to offer a standard, dual-sourced power solution."
The HPCE connector is a next-generation power card edge connector for demanding applications requiring high linear current density and low power loss. HPCE offers a low profile height (2.8 mm for straddle mount and 7.5 mm for right angle) and is based on very cost-effective and highly reliable stamped-and-formed power contact technology similar to other power solutions from FCI.
The HPCE connector incorporates an innovative power contact and housing design that permits a more compact and lower profile package for demanding AC and DC power supply and/or add-in card applications. HPCE's low profile height (for maximized airflow), significantly increased linear current density and low contact resistance characteristics are ideal for next generation 1U/2U servers, storage enclosures, telecommunications equipment and datacom/networking equipment. The innovative HPCE cable-to-card edge is available with the same desirable features as the standard HPCE board mount product but is focused on power distribution applications via cabling. It includes high power (10 – 14 AWG wire) and low power (14 – 16 AWG wire) contact options as well as integrated signal contacts (22 – 26 AWG wire). The modular tooling approach maximizes flexibility to meet a wide range of power distribution requirements including bus bar attachment. The integrated latching option makes it ideal for high shock-and-vibration environments.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

OL needs depth
Our OL now needs some serious depth. With Ross and Vincent gone..coupled with Simmons reclaiming his starting job and Starx stepping in at RT.. There is virtually ZERO depth to speak of behind the starting 5..so look for C&C to pick up some veteran OL in FA, no real big names most likely, but guys who are experienced and especially ones that can be versatile on the line.
Re: OL needs depth
Starks looks veyr good so far and simmons is coming back so why waste the money, and we still have Hartings as or C Faneca as our LG and jones was under key, and the only prob area is that RG and the draft can handle that it but we will prob get a FA to back up .
Re: OL needs depth
A couple years ago, when we got Troy in the draft, we completely ignored the OL in the draft, and it was a total disaster, our OL totally sucked that year, and we were playing people outta position left and right all year long. If we ignore the OL in the draft, it's gonna come back to haunt us. Alan can play any position on the line except center, and Hartings can play center or guard and Smith can play either tackle position, although he's set where he is at at LT. But, we gotta get some decent depth to keep the cohesiveness of the line together in case somebody goes down, a couple of players via FA or the draft, that can step in, if need be and keep on going, just like Vincent did for us last year.
Its awesome that our 5 starters are versatile enough to play in any position, but man, I dont wanna rely on moving everybody around ever again, if we dont have too. |
Re: OL needs depth
Blitz you are correct, we need some depth, this team relied on back ups all year last year. Now we are getting thin in a few places and the OL is one of them.
Re: OL needs depth
Blitz is very right, i think our left side is set with smith and faneca, and center is definitely set with faneca. But besides our defense, the o-line was the reason we were good, we had excellent rotation and depth. we cant afford to lose it.
Re: OL needs depth
Hines you meant Hartings at center. But your right these guys are solid.
Re: OL needs depth
yeah my bad i meant hartings
Re: OL needs depth
my friend is a dallas fan and he tells me that larry allen is better then alan faneca. But i keep telling him that Alan Faneca is better
What do you guys think? |
Re: OL needs depth
Larry Allen used to be good. Faneca is the best guard in the NFL today
Re: OL needs depth
I agree about Allen being old so Faneca is the best, but then people are saying that about Brian Waters in KC in relation to Faneca. But I would still bet a paycheck that we can get one yard behind Faneca.

HAVANA — Raul Castro spent the lion's share of a prominent speech Sunday scolding his countrymen for all kinds of bad behavior, everything from corruption and theft to public urination and the odoriferous practice of raising pigs in cities.
Speaking before legislators at one of parliament's twice-annual sessions, the Cuban president railed against decaying morals, a deteriorating sense of civic responsibility and vanishing values like honor, decency and decorum.
Castro aired a laundry list of complaints about illegal activities that he said do the country harm: unauthorized home construction, illicit logging and slaughter of livestock and the acceptance of bribes, to name a few.
He also fulminated against baser examples of "social indiscipline": shouting and swearing in the streets, public drinking and drunk driving, dumping trash on the roadside and even people who relieve themselves in parks.
At times, the 82-year-old's speech sounded like a generational broadside against disrespectful youth who do as they please, a diatribe that could have crossed the lips of many a grandfather.
"When I meditate on these regrettable displays, it makes me think that despite the undeniable educational achievements made by the Revolution ... we have taken a step back in citizens' culture and public spirit," Castro said. "I have the bitter sensation that we are a society ever more educated, but not necessarily more enlightened."
Other examples of bad behavior cited by Castro:
— People showing up late to work.
— Graffiti and vandalizing of parks, monuments, trees and gardens.
— Loud music that disturbs neighbors' sleep.
— Raising pigs in cities despite the public health risk.
— Scavenging metal from phone and electrical lines, sewers, signs and traffic lights.
— Fare evasion on public transportation.
— Failure to comply with school dress codes, and teachers who accept bribes for higher grades.
— Lack of deference to the elderly, pregnant women, mothers with small children and the disabled.
— Children throwing rocks at cars and trains.
"All this takes place right in front of our noses without inciting public condemnation and confrontation," Castro said.
"It is not acceptable to equate vulgarity with modernity, sloppiness and negligence with progress," he added. "Living in society entails, in the first place, accepting rules that preserve respect for decency and the rights of others."

Coyle wary of Wilshere threat
Owen Coyle believes Jack Wilshere could return to haunt Bolton on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium.The 18-year-old midfielder had a successful loan spell with Coyle's side in the second half of last season.Such was the improvement in Wilshere's game he has featured in Arsenal's first three Barclays Premier League matches.Not only that he was called into the England senior squad for the friendly against Hungary. Wilshere was back playing for the Under-21 side in midweek following his arrest and subsequent bail in the wake of a late-night fracas in London.Bolton boss Coyle said: "Jack is a very talented player. He is such a gifted lad and has matured no end. He came to us as a boy and went back to Arsenal as a man. He showed that by playing in the Arsenal first team and by turning out for England at full international level. There is no doubt he is going to have a glittering career."He knows the way we work and he has a lot of friends here. But during the match we will try to nullify the threat he poses."

Sheldan C. Cllins/Whitney Museum
There has been oddly little excitement, let alone controversy, surrounding the Whitney Biennial this year. No one told me that it must be seen, no one said how awful it was. People wondered if the show had become obsolete, especially in late March, when Europeans thronged to New York City to see the Armory show and its galaxy of satellite art fairs--Pulse, Red Dot, Bridge, Scope New York and the rest. Why would anyone leave the glitter of these seductive displays to visit what was generally understood to be a drab exhibition that billed itself as a survey of where American art stands today? In any case, there would be plenty of American artists at the fairs who had already made the cut at one commercial gallery or another. I knew but a small handful of the eighty-one artists listed in the Whitney's press release, and few of those I did know were near the top of my list of favorites. (Some of them were near the top of my list of artists to be avoided when possible.) I could tell that this was mainly to be a show of "emerging artists"--the kind sought by enterprising collectors, funding agencies, younger curators and galleries out to make a name for themselves. Since the fairs were full of emerged, emerging and about to emerge artists, many just hatched from their MFA shows, it was hard to figure out what could be special or different about Biennial 2008.
Part of my indifference may have stemmed from the fact that the curators, Henriette Huldisch and Shamim Momin, had broken with tradition by not designing their Biennial as an exposition à thèse. In an interview in March, they emphasized that they had set out with no particular ax to grind, resolving just to "start with the art" and see how things fell out. In this they differed from the curators of Biennial 2006, who from the beginning were determined "to make a bold curatorial statement about the current zeitgeist."
The current show certainly did not evoke in me the kind of negativity that the Whitney, not that many Biennials ago, decided was part of the territory, advertising that particular edition with the slogan "Love It, Hate It, Don't Miss It"--based, I suppose, on the famously confrontational 1993 Biennial, which featured flat metal entry badges by Daniel Joseph Martinez that read, in whole or in part, "I can't imagine ever wanting to be white." Martinez is among the established artists Whitney curators like to add each year to the mix of mostly younger and lesser-known artists on view. This year they've included one of his installations, Divine Violence. It consists of 125 painted memorial tablets, each with the name of an organization--like Al Qaeda, or somewhat more explosively, the CIA--dedicated to violence as a means to specific political goals. The panels, executed in gold-flake automobile paint, compose a kind of columbarium--a memorial to certain terrorist organizations, not all of which are, as we say, "history." Does the format imply that they are destined to be history? The piece is ambiguous, but Martinez--whom I consider a friend--is a restlessly provocative activist artist who has stayed the course that nearly all of the Biennial-93-ards were on.
Thinking back on the Biennials I have seen since 1985, I cannot say that I have ever loved any of them. I cannot blame the artists, who make what they make. I expect that means the target of my loathing has really been the curators and their windy art-world prose. I don't know the 2008 curators, but the show's themelessness strikes me as successfully representative of the reality they were required to deal with. The art world is themeless today. It is heading in no direction to speak of. My guess is that Martinez embodies a direction many young curators--and some not so young--feel it should point to. But that is due to the chamber radicalism that continues to define art professionals as a class, dealing as it does with elitist matters.
I would not go so far as to say I liked the show, but I did like what I think of as the show's mood. It reminded me of my first visit to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where a gallery scene emerged in the 1990s concurrently with the gentrification of SoHo and the upscale art world's colonization of Chelsea. Two German artists, Kirsten Roolfs and Wolfgang Petrick, had settled into Williamsburg and offered themselves as guides to the most interesting spaces. The art was not much, but compared with the messy art that I had encountered in the East Village in the mid '80s, in the midst of the Neo-Expressionist bubble that everyone hoped (if they did not actually believe) was the miraculous return of Abstract Expressionism, it was thoughtful, even philosophical. What mainly impressed me, however, was the appearance, among the artists as well as the gallery personnel, of a new artistic culture: everyone wanted to be helpful; no one was in your face. I remember one gallery filled with colorful toy telephones, collected on the artist's travels, presented as a single work. There was a spirit of play and innocence in every show I saw. Everyone was eager to please. Even the receptionists could not have been more receptive. I mentioned my observation to one of the gallery directors, who was not long out of college. "I guess," he said, "that we all want to remain children down here."
That remark captures the mood of the 2008 Biennial. I have to qualify this judgment, though, because on the fourth floor, just to the right of the elevator bank, I had a somewhat magical experience that may have colored the entirety of my visit. (In a way, it is unfair to include it in what means to be a review, since the likelihood of any of my readers having the same experience is almost nil.) There were four or five largish sculptures, the most interesting of which was an assemblage of urban fragments, mainly slabs of reinforced concrete and rebar, and a ragged piece of chain-link fencing. It was by Ruben Ochoa, born in 1974, who lives in Los Angeles. Reinforced concrete chunks make for a somewhat unusual medium, and it reminded me of the singular inappropriateness to today's visual art of Clement Greenberg's celebrated theory of medium specificity: each art must strive to determine and make work out of the essential qualities specific to its medium. How could an artist like Ochoa yield to such an injunction? Why should he?
I stopped at his piece An Ideal Disjuncture. It looks like bits of a wrecked building, picked over by the artist to make an ephemeral piece of art before it was all carted off to a landfill. As I was pondering its meaning, a troop of private school students, all girls, were led in by their teacher. They circled the piece and then, all in white blouses and black skirts, settled on the floor to discuss it. What could it be, and what was its meaning? Eavesdropping, I heard one of the girls answer that maybe it was a grasshopper. The teacher responded by repeating the word as a doubtful question: "A grasshopper?" I immediately saw what the girl meant: the chain-link fencing did look like a gauzy wing, the rebar like antennas, and another fragment took its place as the monumental insect's thorax: a gigantic grasshopper made of urban detritus! What a lovely thought! It lifted my spirits immediately--here was art transfiguring commonplace junk into something rare and strange! And here was a young mind struggling to give form and meaning to unprepossessing matter. She somehow expressed the spirit of many of the artists in the show.
In the same gallery I saw Heather Rowe's sculptures, which resemble sections of what one might call "housing starts"--beams supported by two-by-four studs, giving you the initial sense of a not-quite-finished partition. They mirror elements of the gallery's architecture, but they're not quite integrated into the rest of the space, and they're ornamented in ways not altogether consistent with their being housing starts: Rowe has fitted the partition with odds and ends of Sheetrock, mirror fragments and scraps of shag carpet. So they occupy two worlds at once, contained and container--free-standing walls for the collector with plenty of space.
In the adjacent gallery were some attenuated sculptures by another Angelino, Charles Long, made from "scavenged river junk and silt, papier-mâché, and plaster over steel armatures," which take their forms from blue herons' droppings traced by the artist. They exemplify what the artist calls the "degraded sublime" and evoke Barnett Newman's famous if mean-spirited 1952 put-down: aesthetics, in relationship to art, is, like ornithology, "for the birds." The impulse, again, was to make art out of degraded matter, which struck me as promising to be something of a theme, given that so much of what I encountered was recycled vernacular material, made into art that sometimes bears affinities to paradigms of Modernist art--in the case of Long, according to the catalog text, "Constantin Brancusi, Isamu Noguchi, or Theodore Roszak." Art redeems nature at its basest.
It is in this spirit that another Californian, Jedediah Caesar, accumulated detritus from daily life--plywood scraps, pieces of paper and cloth, bottles and shards of china, worn garments--which he fused together with resin and cut into blocks. They are things of beauty, natural analogues to geodes or pieces of amber in which insects or bits of vegetable matter are encased. And they are artistic analogues to the sculptures of the Neo-Objectivist Arman, who made plastic replicas of objects from the real world--gears, for example, or pairs of glasses--and encased them in plastic. They are also something like the environments Louise Nevelson created out of discarded pieces of wood--spindles, paddles, finials, baseball bats--whose final form had a beauty that far surpassed that of the component parts.
Each of these scavenged pieces has some degree of craft, but there is also ready-made art worth considering. William E. Jones projects some found surveillance film, shot in 1962, of men fellating or masturbating one another in a public men's room. It is unedited or barely edited found footage. In this respect, it is not unlike the Rodney King video that was shown in an earlier Biennial. Still, as Marcel Duchamp wrote in mock defense of his 1917 urinal under the name "R. Mutt," Jones has "given a new thought" to footage originally made in the spirit of entrapment. As viewers, we are to infer the thought while watching men of an earlier era engage in somber furtive sex.
Huldisch's catalog essay--Momin's is unreadable--borrows its title from Samuel Beckett: "Lessness." The subtitle is hers: "An Art of Smaller, Slower, and Less." It is not a criticism of the art she and her colleague have found, but rather a characterization:
There is a sense of weariness of grand proclamations and braggadocio--a preference for the historical footnote, perhaps, rather than the totalizing story--that is unsurprising in an environment where, as of very recently, contemporary art no longer appears to have any enemies, and the oppositional gesture itself runs the risk of amounting to little more than a self-congratulatory pat on the back.
It sounds as if the artists compose a community of Prufrocks rather than of Lord Hamlets:
If we find ourselves in a scenario marked by the experience of loss, by doubt, or by a fundamental absence of certainty or meaning, it is not pessimism, detachment, or irony that defines the moment but persistence and belief--belief in staking out small areas of meaning and agency, however futile or absurd it may seem at times, and going on, for better rather than for worse.
This is well said and wise. It is not quite true of the established artists she and her colleague have selected, however: Matt Mullican constructs whole cosmologies; the late Jason Rhoades, featured on the ground floor, sought to fill all the space he could get with less than ideal disjunctions of disparate things and substances, in praise of impossible lubricities. And perhaps the work Huldisch and Momin encountered dates the larger-than-life productions of artists whose work is the cynosure of billionaire collectors, themselves out of phase with the times. Perhaps the "smaller, slower, lesser" art the curators have assembled explains why their show is finally so likable--or so unhateable--and how it may, in the end, even point a direction for the nation in its present straitened state, with a shambled economy and exhausted armies. Where our art stands today is not a bad way to think of where America might stand tomorrow: smaller, slower, lesser, with freedom and justice for all. Hey--it's time for a change!

Features & Use
Tested on
Samsung Galaxy Note 2

As mentioned in the intro, updates are a Big Deal in the world of Android. In fact, a lot of Android users are miffed that updates for new devices are so far and few between. And this is what prompts many of us to opt for alternative ROMs, providing our devices with updates, which tend to be more frequent on custom ROMs. Still, the majority of users won't be quite so adventurous and prefer to stick with the stock operating system, which is why it's so important that developers update regularly. I mean, we all want to benefit from smooth controls, better security and new features.
Users who have rooted their devices in order to gain access to the system generally don't get to profit from developer updates. The only option is un-rooting the device, but that usually means having to start all over again from scratch.
I have perused forums galore reading up on what other users can recommend I do with my Galaxy Note 2. When updating, Samsung recognises that a device has root access. There is also a tool that tracks changes that are made to a device (root or custom ROM).
After much reading up on the subject, I finally found an app that can help in this department: OTA RootKeeper is an app that temporarily removes root access. Should issues with installing the update remain, use the app "[root] Triangle Away".
OTA RootKeeper works on all devices whose system partition is formatted with ext2, ext3 or ext4. My advice would be to simple test it out to see if it works. OTA RootKeeper works on many devices.
OTA RootKeeper has another function and that is to maintain root access beyond the operating system updates. This can only work for devices whose system partition wasn't overwritten during the update.
Bottom line:
OTA RootKeeper will not work on every device, but my guess is that is can be of help to a lot of users out there. I was able to circumvent setting up my Galaxy Note 2 anew, though I did have to reroot it after the update—but this takes but a few minutes at most.
Please note: Root access and changes to the system should be done on one's own account. We wish to caution users not to make changes to the system unless they really know what they're doing. AndroidPIT and the AndroidPIT reviews will not be held accountable for any damage that is caused.
Screen & Controls
OTA RootKeeper controls are child's play: Select "Protect Root" followed by "Temp. Un-root" in order to remove root access.
The app's interface is rather basic, making it easy to navigate.
Speed & Stability
OTA RootKeeper performed fluidly, though its performance will vary from one device to the next.
Price/Performance Ratio
OTA RootKeeper is completely free (of charge and ads) and available from Google Play.

MEDFORD, Ore. — One man is dead following an officer involved shooting on Sunday evening. Medford Police said officers were called to the scene at 4:25 p.m. Neighbors had called 911 after noticing a suspicious man carrying a shot gun walking down Cherry Street on Medford's west side.
When police arrived, the subject started firing his gun at the officers. Two officers fired back in self defense, shooting and killing the man in a church parking lot on the corner of Stewart Ave. and Orchard Home Dr.. No officers were injured. This all happened in a several minute time period. Other police officers from various agencies including, Oregon State Police and the Jackson County Sheriff's Department arrived shortly after the incident. Medical personnel were also dispatched to the scene. NewsWatch 12 was first on the scene, and when we arrived the subject was appeared to be getting CPR from medical personnel. Minutes later, the body was covered up.
After further investigation, police said the subject was not only carrying the shot gun, but two other fire arms as well. The suspect is now being identified as Stephen Andrew McMilon, a 52-year-old male and Medford resident.
Members of the Major Assault Death Investigation Unit are investigating the shooting. Medford Police is expected to meet with other police agencies Monday morning to discuss the investigation.
The four Medford Police officers involved in the shooting are currently on administrative leave for the time being.

Firstly, I'm now married to the girl of my dreams and ridiculously excited about spending the rest of my life with such an incredible person. Secondly, the snow and ice covering Madison, WI has completely subsided, allowing me to pull out the grill in preparation for the 70 degree weather that will apparently arrive at the end of this week.
At Least You Have A Job
April 2, 2010 4:14 am | by by Anna Wells, Editor, IMPO"Well… I guess I should just be glad I have a job." Ugh. I sincerely feel that this distasteful phrase is the ugly ribbon tied around our pre-packaged recession malaise. Don't get me wrong… I AM glad to have a job. But as we grapple up this economic canyon, the lingering cries of a desperately submissive workforce have muted our national confidence.
Your Brain Wants Chocolate Cake
March 26, 2010 4:55 am | by by Krystal Gabert, Associate Editor, Food ManufacturingWhen your eyes dart between the grilled cheese and the salad bar during your lunch break, what are you really thinking about? How do you decide between the real-fruit sorbet and the chocolate cake? We recently ran a video from CBS news , which suggests that the reasons we choose to eat what we choose to eat may be more complicated than they seem at first glance.
For Health Or Money?
March 23, 2010 5:28 am | by by Jeff Reinke, Editorial directorIt should be rather straight forward. Eating better = living healthier. Greater overall health = reduced nation-wide health care costs and less taxpayer burden. Again, this seems like a clear connection to make. The unfortunate truth is that clarity has never been a strength of bureaucratic organizations, and the political pessimist in me says our governments are no different.

I click on provocative headlines to read about the unfixable economy, to listen to analysts bang their chests and make wild predictions in hopes of creating some new conventional wisdom by sparking a little awareness-building fear, and to sift through the PR rabble — it's a practice similar to listening to white noise for hours with hopes of connecting to voices from the other side (dead people).
A Bitter Sweet Takeover

That might be the only reason I read a recent article about the environmental benefits of … wait for it … mining.
Apple Cares About Your Employees
March 9, 2010 3:33 am | by by David Mantey, Editor, PD&DYesterday, it was reported that Apple found more than a dozen serious labor law violations that needed quick fixing – keep in mind that this includes Apple's own labor policies to which its suppliers need adhere. Similar to Wal-Mart's green supplier push after a history of eco-PR terrorism, Apple took the initiative when an employee from a Chinese iPhone factory leapt off of the 12th floor of his apartment building after a prototype went missing.

Uncloaking The Food Industry

February 11, 2010 6:03 am | by by Anna Wells, Editor, IMPO"Oh, What a Feeling: Watching Toyota Flunk for Once" When I first read the headline a few days ago on NYTimes.com, I assumed the feature would be thinly veiled tongue-in-cheek commentary about the recent debacle with Toyota's massive recalls.

UPDATE 2-China warns U.S. not to take sides in sea disputes as Clinton arrives
* Maritime disputes shadow U.S.-China ties
* Clinton visit comes at moment of political transition
* China Foreign Ministry suggest U.S. role not helpful in sea dispute
By Andrew Quinn and Chris Buckley
JAKARTA/BEIJING, Sept 4 (Reuters) - China warned the United States not to get involved in South China Sea territorial disputes on Tuesday as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Beijing pledging to pass on a strong message on the need to calm regional tension.
The last time Clinton visited the Chinese capital, plans to highlight improving U.S.-China ties were derailed by a blind Chinese dissident whose dramatic flight to the U.S. embassy exposed the deeply uneasy relationship.
The irritants this time are disputes over tiny islets and craggy outcrops in oil- and gas-rich areas of the South and East China Seas that have set China against U.S. regional allies such as the Philippines and Taiwan.
U.S. officials say the message is once again one of cooperation and partnership - and an important chance to compare notes during a year of political transition.
But the unease remains, sharpened by disputes in the South and East China Seas that have rattled nerves across the region and led to testy exchanges with Washington just as the Obama administration "pivots" to the Asia-Pacific region following years of military engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei suggested at a daily news briefing that Washington was not a helpful force in the maritime disputes.
"We have noted that the United States has stated many times that it does not take sides," he said when asked about the U.S. role. "We hope that the United States will abide by its promises and do more that is beneficial to regional peace and stability, and not the opposite."
Chinese newspapers, including Communist Party mouthpiece the People's Daily, have suggested the South China Sea territorial claims are among Beijing's "core national interests" - a term suggesting they share the same importance as sovereignty over Tibet and Xinjiang.
Hong did not directly answer a question about whether that was the government's official position.
"China, like any other country in the world, has the duty to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said.
Clinton arrived in Beijing late on Tuesday, huddling with U.S. officials on board her plane before heading off to meetings with Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi followed by a dinner.
In Jakarta on Monday, she urged China and its Southeast Asian neighbours to move quickly on a code of conduct for the South China Sea and stressed that disputes should be resolved "without coercion, without intimidation, without threats and certainly without the use of force"..
But progress has been thwarted in recent months by China's increasingly assertive posture, which has included establishing a garrison on a disputed island and stepping up patrols of contested waters.
That suggests Beijing has no intention of backing down on its unilateral claim to sovereignty over a huge stretch of ocean and potentially equally large energy reserves.
Clinton faces a balancing act, pushing on the territorial disputes while keeping cooperation on track on other issues including reining in the North Korean and Iranian nuclear programmes, the Syria crisis and economic disputes that have long bedevilled the two countries.
"One of the challenges before us is to demonstrate how we deal with areas in which we have different perceptions and where we face challenging issues on the ground, or in this case on the water," one senior U.S. official said.
But some Chinese media have been blunt in their opposition to Clinton. The Global Times, a popular, nationalist tabloid, accused her of "deeply intensifying mutual suspicion".
"Many Chinese people dislike Hillary Clinton," it said in an editorial. "She has brought new and extremely profound mutual distrust between the mainstream societies of the two countries, and removing that will not be easy."
Clinton on Wednesday will meet outgoing President Hu Jintao and Vice President Xi Jinping, the man who will likely succeed him as paramount leader following a Communist Party congress this year.
Xi visited the United States in February on a get-acquainted tour and U.S. officials expect him to be a steady-handed leader.
But concerns over China's fast-expanding influence and its belligerent tone in the regional disputes have Washington scrambling to assess how Beijing's political stars are lining up.
China, too, has its concerns and has pushed back against U.S. attempts to referee the South China Sea dispute and insert itself into similar rows between China, Japan and South Korea over islands in the East China Sea.
While Washington has stressed that it takes no position on the competing claims and simply wants to see a mechanism established to resolve them, its forceful calls on China to play along have had a cool reception in Beijing.
Mark Valencia, a Hawaii-based expert on Asia-Pacific maritime disputes, said the recent exchanges left "no doubt that the U.S. is siding with ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) -- not necessarily saying that their claim is correct, but that the bases of their claims have more merit than those of China".
During Clinton's last China visit in April, dissident Chen Guangcheng stole the headlines with his made-for-TV escape from house arrest, flight to the U.S. embassy and eventual decision to take a U.S.-brokered deal to travel to New York.
U.S. officials are hoping for no such surprises during Clinton's 24-hour visit, saying this is a moment for stability, not stirring the waters.
"I think the secretary intends very clearly to underscore our continuing interest in maintaining a strong, positive relationship," the senior U.S. official said.

The Mott Archaeological Preserve or Mott Mounds Site (16 FR 11) is an archaeological site in Franklin Parish, Louisiana on the west bank of Bayou Macon. It originally had eleven mounds with components from the Marksville, Troyville, Coles Creek, and Plaquemine periods. It was at one time one of the largest mound centers in the Southeast and has one of the largest mounds in Louisiana with a base which cover more than two acres. It was purchased by the Archaeological Conservancy in 2002.[1][2] and is now used for research and educational purposes.[2]
The site formerly had as many as fourteen mounds, depending on the criteria used to describe a mound. Except for one small outlier to the south all are surrounding an exceptionally large central plaza that is aligned on an east-west axis. The large plaza measures close to 280 metres (920 ft) east to west and 175 metres (574 ft) north to south. These measurements are about three quarters the size of the Grand Plaza at Cahokia, which is the largest Mississippian culture plaza known. Other large sites from the region during the same time period (such as the Raffman, Winterville, or Holly Bluff) could easily fit their entire sites into the confines of Motts plaza. On the western edge of the plaza is Mound A, the largest at the site and one of the largest in the state and possibly the largest in the Tensas Basin region during the time period it was constructed. It is a platform mound about 90 metres (300 ft) by 100 metres (330 ft) at its base, 45 metres (148 ft) by 60 metres (200 ft) at its summit and over 8 metres (26 ft) in height. This produces a footprint that covers an area of over two acres. The eastern and southern borders of the plaza are bounded by two other large platform mounds, Mounds F and I respectively. The northern edge of the plaza has four small dome shaped mounds, aligned along a meander scar of Bayou Macon. 700 metres (2,300 ft) south of the mound group is a large village site thought to be contemporaneous with the mounds.[3]
A number of archaeologists have undertaken excavations and investigations at the site. The earliest were George Beyer in 1900 and Clarence Bloomfield Moore in 1913. In the mid 1960s researchers from the Lower Mississippi Survey of Harvard University led by Stephen Williams sampled the site and fixed it into the local chronology. They found markers from the Marksville, Coles Creek, and Plaquemine cultures, but with the most intensive habitation being during the Coles Creek period. Site surveys were also conducted in 1976 and in 1992, all of which confirmed this chronological placement. The site was purchased in two acquisitions in 2002 by the Archaeological Conservancy to preserve and protect the site which had been threatened by looting, land leveling, and timber harvesting.[1][2] It is now known as the Mott Archaeological Preserve and is over 200 acres, making it one of the Conservancy's largest acquisitions in the Southeastern United States to date.[2] In 2005 Mott Project was begun by Timothy Schilling of Washington University in St. Louis and Tristram R. Kidder of Tulane University.[3]

Jim Saxton Thought Cynthia McKinney Was at it Again - Report of Gunshots in Capitol Parking Garage Probably Were Coming from an Air Hammer
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A House office building reopened Friday afternoon after investigators determined a report of gunshots in a parking garage probably came from worker using an air hammer, according to sources.
The Rayburn House Office Building was locked down Friday morning after a congressman reported what he thought were gunshots in the building's garage, prompting armed police to conduct a room-by-room search of the complex.
It was unclear whether the report by Republican Rep. Jim Saxton of New Jersey, as related by his spokesman, was the only one Capitol Police received.
High-ranking law enforcement sources at the Capitol told law enforcement expert Mike Brooks the noises apparently were made by a mechanic using a pneumatic hammer on an elevator.
