As the car was wedged helplessly between a light pole and a tree, nearly a minute passed before officers opened up firing approximately 50 bullets at the car and the two unarmed men inside the vehicle.
Any more to this story that they are not telling us and why did it take so long to hit the press?

At UN, few signs of Russia warming to Obama, but nuclear cooperation may improve
Russian President Medvedev made few new concessions in response to the canceling of Russia's Eastern European missile-shield plan. But new ways to cooperate on threats like Iran's nuclear program and instability in Afghanistan are emerging.
Konstantin Zavrazhin/ RIA Novosti/ AP
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev may have just been handed major US concessions on top of international priorities, but there were few signs of reciprocity in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly or in his brief tête-à-tête with Barack Obama on Wednesday.
In fact, it's hard to see how Mr. Medvedev's words and actions in New York yesterday would have been much different if the US had stuck to its plan to install antimissile defenses in Eastern Europe last week, or if NATO expansion into the former Soviet Union were still on the table. Both the missile defense system and NATO plans (apparently) were shelved. Last week, NATO's new Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen called instead for a new era of cooperation between the Western military alliance and Russia, which ought to have been music to Moscow's ears.

The FR-310 from MXL is a mono video microphone for mounting on a camcorder or DSLR via the hot shoe. As is typical of these types of microphones, sounds from the sides and rear are rejected in favor of sounds that are in front of the camera. The result is a more focused sound.
Three gain settings help adjust the level of sound capture whether from a close-up or long shot, while a bass roll-off switch cuts low-frequency noise. Additionally, the integrated windscreen helps block wind noise. The microphone functions using a single AAA battery.
- Three-position gain switch
- Bass roll-off (high-pass filter)
- Standard hot shoe mount

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The St. Louis Blues have shown already that they can blow out a team. Now they've proven they can come back, even if it means winning in a shootout.
T.J. Oshie and Alexander Steen scored in the shootout, and the St. Louis Blues edged the Nashville Predators 4-3 on Monday night.
The Blues won the Central Division last season, but the Predators won the season series 4-1-1 with three of those games going to a shootout. This time, the Blues had the only goals in a shootout that lasted only two rounds. Brian Elliott, who came off the bench in the second, stopped Craig Smith and Martin Erat to get the win.
"Shootouts are funny because two years ago this was a good team," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Last year, we weren't. I'm telling you, those points now mean everything."
Rookie Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and two assists for St. Louis. Andy McDonald had a power-play goal and an assist, Alex Pietrangelo's goal tied it up in the third period, and Kevin Shattenkirk had two assists. The team that won the President's Trophy last season now has started this lockout-shortened season with two straight wins.
"It's our first road game of the year, we were down by a goal and end up tying it up and winning," Blues center Jaden Schwartz said. "We had a little adversity there, and we came through so I think we can build on that."
Patric Hornqvist had a goal and two assists for Nashville. Mike Fisher had a goal and an assist, Colin Wilson a goal and Erat two assists.
Oshie scored first with a backhander over Nashville's Pekka Rinne. After Elliott stopped Erat at the front of the crease, Steen skated up and squeezed the puck between the post and Rinne's outstretched skate.
Rinne made sure the Predators at least got to the shootout. He stopped a shot from Pietrangelo from the slot, then stopped another by Oshie off the rebound laying down on his back at the post inside the final minute of overtime.
The Predators opened the season with a 3-2 shootout loss to Columbus. Now they visit Minnesota on Tuesday to start a seven-game road trip that will be their longest this season and won't play again in Nashville until Feb. 7.
"We haven't been beaten in a game," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "We've been beaten in, a little bit you could say, a skills competition. But at the same time, it's huge, especially the extra points, I mean, in the league right now. If you can get them in a shootout, let's take them."
St. Louis, which plays at Chicago on Tuesday night, picked up where the Blues left off in their 6-0 opening rout of Detroit, outshooting Nashville 39-24 through overtime. They started strong too with an early 6-3 edge in the first period.
Wilson scored on the Predators' fourth shot, beating Jaroslav Halak with a wrister just inside the left circle at 9:10 of the first.
Tarasenko, who scored two goals in his NHL debut, remained just as active against Nashville. He scored on a wrister from the right circle at 10:28 on assists from McDonald and Shattenkirk. Later in the period, David Legwand hooked the rookie as Tarasenko tried to score on Rinne, giving the Blues a power play in the first.
So with the man advantage, Tarasenko found McDonald in the slot with the puck, and McDonald scored with a wrister at 15:04 for a 2-1 lead. That lasted only until David Perron went to the box for slashing, and Fisher scored his first on the power play beating Halak to the glove-side at 17:13.
"Vladi's playing really, really well right now," Hitchcock said. "We've got a couple lines really playing well right now."
Hornqvist slipped a backhander between Halak's body and his right arm stick-side at 12:53 of the second for a power-play goal. That was Nashville's third goal on 11 shots, and Blues coach Ken Hitchcock had seen enough. He yanked Halak and put in Elliott, due to start in Chicago.
"My first action of the year, it's almost better to get in there really nothing to lose and go out there and just play your game and let the guys in front of you do their job," Elliott said.
This game appeared headed for extra time even with Nashville holding a lead in the third. Nashville and St. Louis already had gone past overtime 12 times, including three games last season, with the Predators holding an 8-4 edge. Pietrangelo scored with a wrister at 12:10 to tie it.
Trotz noted his Predators hit a crossbar and a couple of posts in the second and Sergei Kostitsyn just missed a chance to put Nashville back ahead after the Blues tied it at 3.
"That's the type of game you're going to see St. Louis and Nashville battle. You got to bring it," Trotz said.
Leaving with a win was a nice change for Hitchcock, who said playing Nashville felt a bit like "the Bataan death march" when he was with Columbus. The Blues come in believing they can play well.
"This is a really tough building," Hitchcock said. "It's a very intimidating building to play in. It seems like the people are right on top of you, and they play hard here. Nashville played really hard tonight."
Game notes
Barrett Jackson played his 600th career NHL game, all with St. Louis. He ranks ninth in club history in games played and fourth among defensemen. Only Bob Plager, Barclay Plager and Al MacInnis have played more for the Blues. ... Hornqvist has scored three points now nine times, the last on Nov. 9, 2011, at Anaheim with three assists. ... Nashville had its 15th straight sellout dating back to last season. ... Nashville C Paul Gaustad was scratched with an upper-body injury, and Trotz said he will be questionable against Minnesota.

MLB News: The Houston Astros, finding themselves 7.5 games back in the division just 15 games into the year decided to shake up their roster in hopes of making a better first impression during their first season in the American League. They purchased the contract of third baseman Brandon Laird from Triple-A Oklahoma City, optioned first baseman Brett Wallace down to Oklahoma City and then designated pitcher Xavier Cedeno for assignment.
Laird, who was tearing the cover off of the ball to start the season, will find himself bouncing back and forth from first base to third base, providing depth on the Houston Bench. Wallace, while still in the organization, is being soured on. A former top talent, he was batting just .042 on the season. Cedeno should get some feelers from the waiver wire and his future is unknown.
Fantasy Ramifications: Laird has minimal value in a American League only fantasy format or dynasty, but other than that he should remain waiver wire fodder.

Sawa's friend who kills Masafumi Usui.
In middle school, she stabs a boy which Sawa and Switch did not know at the time. According to Mikami, she is the ex girlfriend of his, and when Mikami broke up with Yukino to be with Sawa, she grimly tells Mikami that she will tell Sawa about his confession. However, she keeps Mikami at bay as she remains close with Sawa.
Yukino Hirai, who is created by Kenta Shinohara, has no inspiration used to create her. She first appears in Sket Dance volume 5 and episode 24. Her Japanese voice actress is Mayuki Makiguchi.
Yukino did not change much.
She has long black hair, black eyes, and fair skin.
At first, she seems like a nice girl, but in the end, she has a warped mind. According to Mikami, she will cry and scream when she does not get her way. In short, she's a spoiled brat.
Before Sawa walks off with Kazuyoshi, Yukino and Sawa walked together, and she is the one who points to Mikami who is lurking around the corner. She warns Sawa about her stalker. After Sawa has received a threatening letter and has gone shopping with Masafumi, Yukino appears in front of Kazuyoshi's house. She tells Kazuyoshi about Sawa's stalker, Mikami, and explains how he is dangerous due to stabbing a student back in middle school. Kazuyoshi calls his brother to warn him, and Yukino reassures him that Mikami will eventually give up on Sawa. When she asks Kazuyoshi if he's dating Sawa, Kazuyoshi answers that his little brother is going out with Sawa. Suddenly, Yukino makes a face that alerts Kazuyoshi to Mikami's presence. As Kazuyoshi chases after Mikami, Yukino runs to Masafumi and Sawa's location.
Upon finding Sawa and Masafumi, it begins to rain, and she mutters about how Sawa is on a nice date with her boyfriend. As she walks towards them, she tells Sawa that she has nothing because her ex boyfriend is only interested in Sawa. Yukino lunges to stab Sawa, but Yukino ends up fatally stabs Masafumi who protects Sawa. Later, she gets arrested by the police. In the police room, Kazuyoshi hears what the police states from Yukino's words about how Yukino mistakenly kills Masafumi because she thinks he is Sawa's boyfriend.
Yukino is never seen again.

Apple changes iPod photo packaging, de-emphasizes "photo"
In releasing newly affordable iPod photo hardware, Apple Computer has changed the product's packaging to a thinner and highly attractive black and metal foiled design. Metal foil is used for the box's front text, while an all-black matte background highlights the metallic luster.
The new packaging, which you can see more fully with the Read More button below, dramatically de-emphasizes the word "photo" on its front, reducing it to a tiny badge underneath the letters "PC." This contrasts markedly with Apple's new iPod mini packaging, which continues to grant the word "mini" equal prominence with the iPod name.

I dont get it. Why would they de emphasise their main selling point. I bought a 60GB iPod 3 weeks ago and it has Photo in huge letters on the box. Why would they change this?
Posted by iPodphreak in UK on February 24, 2005 at 5:15 PM (CST)
I bet Apple will do away with the whole "photo" thing. I believe it will become the standard ipod in the near future.
I believed emphasizing the whole photo thing was stupid in the first place. A color screen should be standard in all of their ipods, minus the shuffle of course.
Posted by Edson123 on February 24, 2005 at 5:23 PM (CST)
iPodphreak, Apple wants to push their black and white screened models out of the line. They are de-emphasizing the "photo" part to the iPod photo so that it looks like an iPod with a color screen only. Many people buy the iPod for music, not photos.
Aside from that tho, you've got a point… Why would they cover one of the coolest features up?
Posted by webdesbw in Idaho on February 24, 2005 at 5:24 PM (CST)
Though I think the photo has its place, most people weren't buying the photo for the extra utility, they were buying it for the 60 gig size. They are simply moving to a full color screen line, a long needed upgrade. I mean, my cell phone, over a year and a half old, has a great little color screen, but my 40 gig, 400 dollar iPod doesn't? Come on.
Posted by purplestallion in Dallas, Texas on February 24, 2005 at 6:02 PM (CST)
they took away the av cables so they don't want to focus on the fact that it is a "photo" ipod.
so the box looks better but the stuff within is not as good (lose acccessories?)
Posted by uicandrew on February 24, 2005 at 6:52 PM (CST)
I think they are de-emphasizing photo because eventually all iPods, barring perhaps the mini and certainly the Shuffle, will have color screens and the capacity to display photographs.
I agree with some other poster's that "photo" wasn't the best route to take as far as the name in the first place. I believe the vast majority of buyers purchase it for the larger hard drive and the color screen more than they do for it's somewhat primitive photo display properties. iPod Color would have probably been a better, if less ambitious, name.
Posted by sechannell in United States on February 24, 2005 at 7:01 PM (CST)
i agree 100%.. iPod Color makes more sense.. ive felt from the beginning that the "photo" part was a weak selling feature.. it should be placed in the description of things it can do..
Posted by Kloan in Toronto, ON on February 24, 2005 at 7:25 PM (CST)
The color screen's contrast and higher resolution is great and should be standard for the iPod line. Deemphasizing "photo" is simply a segway into the 5th generation iPod.
Photo viewing itself (not the color screen) is almost an extra feature, fun, maybe useful for slideshows and presentations. This is coming from someone with over 6,000 photos which I'd love to have in my pocket.
Posted by minty on February 24, 2005 at 7:48 PM (CST)
Now that the 40GB, both regular and photo, are gone, I have come up with my basic plan of the 5G, not design or anything, but screen, space, etc. The stuff that's foreseeable. Probably coming out in early to mid summer. Color screen. Apple will push out the "survivor" of the 4G, lower the price of the 30 GB to 300, Lower the 60 GB to 400, bring back the 40 GB at 350. All of these will have the color screen, Apple will drop the "iPod photo" name, give it the name of what else but, "iPod 5G". They will give it the design of the 5G, whatever they choose it to be. Based on what Jobs has been doing since January and July, it'll probably have clickwheel. He's made it pretty clear that the iPod and Apple like the clickwheel. With the exception of the Shuffle, every current iPod has the clickwheel.
Posted by maxman on February 24, 2005 at 9:21 PM (CST)
As posted before:
Probably at the mac expo (i forget the name) in August, there will be an unveiling of the new ipods. They will probably all have color screens (most likely including minis). Then the name ipod photo will be of no use because the only ipod without a color screen will probably be the shuffle.
This may have been impacted by the lack of photo cables and such being included, but probably not. Getting rid of the photo dock and av cable was probably the only way the drop the prices so much. Price of materials , labor, and other things involved in production couldn't have changed enough to produce a $150 price drop in the ipod photo 60 gig without losing some things.
Posted by SlowBye in Massachusetts (US) on February 24, 2005 at 9:26 PM (CST)
I love the photo features, but they're secondary to music.
Posted by Nagromme on February 25, 2005 at 4:31 AM (CST)
I always thought the Photo part of the iPod was a little strange. It would be appropriate if there was a camera integrated with the iPod (wasn't there a rumor floating around about that a while back) but the ability to display photos isn't enough to deserve a different name.
Maybe Apple thought that people would buy (and spend a premium) for the original iPod Photo only to discover this wasn't true?
Posted by Hadley Stern on February 25, 2005 at 5:13 AM (CST)
What is strange is not having a direct connection to download photos from your camera to the iPod photo. This $30 adapter just doesn't cut it.
Then again, abandoning firewire doesn't cut it either IMHO. Does this mean that firewire is on its way out for Macs? Or does this mean that the iPod isn't marketed to Mac users so much? (Or they want you to buy a new one with a USB 2 connector..)
I like discounting the Mini, but the rest of this mess is no more compelling to me than a Flash based drive w/o a screen.
Posted by umijin on February 25, 2005 at 6:33 AM (CST)
How is abandoning the Firewire cable the same as abandoning Firewire? Apple is cutting costs, pure and simple.
Posted by Quoth_the_Raven in Herndon, VA on February 25, 2005 at 9:58 AM (CST)
They're not abandoning firewire. I think what they mean is as far as the iPod they're pushing away from Firewire. If they really wanted to cut costs they would just not provide a cable, USB or Firewire. But that would get everyone really pissed off.
Posted by maxman on February 25, 2005 at 10:27 AM (CST)
There won't be a 40 gig iPod alongside the 30. The reason for the 40 gig is the information density on the platters in the hard drive. When the 40 gig was released, there were 20 gigabytes per platter, where the 20 gigabyte iPod had a single platter and the 40 had dual platters, hence the thicker form factor. When they fit 40 gigs on a single platter, you'll see that as the base configuration, but I doubt you'll see 30's and 40's alongside each other unless Apple needs to use up stockpiles of the older drives.
Posted by osunick in Royal Oak, MI on February 25, 2005 at 10:28 AM (CST)
My prediction for the 5G iPod is for it to be introduced in 3-6 months in the same 30 and 60 GB configurations, but with built-in BlueTooth2, perhaps a slightly larger and/or higher-res color screen as standard, and a $50 price reduction (the 20GB model would of course be gone by then). There would also be more high-quality games. I also see them adding BlueTooth to the AirPort Express, and a new control feature to the iPod to allow remote control of iTunes through either Airport Express or directly through the Mac. The option to directly stream music to the Airport Express via BlueTooth would also be a possibility, as well as a new BlueTooth iPod accessory for use in your car. Most of these are pretty safe bets considering recent rumors and job openings posted by Apple. With the ability to communicate to an Airport Express, that also opens up the possibility of connecting directly to the iTunes Music Store to order tunes direct from the iPod.

De-emphasizing "photo" is definitely the way to go. Better to remove the word altogether and just call it iPod. What I most care about, aside from the music, is the ability to show album artwork. That is fun and something I'd like. Having photos on it could be fun, but if it were between space for photos and space for music, obviously music would win out - it's, as Jobs has always said (but the "iPod photo" seemed to counter), the music that matters. When it appears that you are paying for photo capability and don't think you will use that feature much, then the iPod photo line seems less appealing, especially when you add on to that the larger physical size of the entire photo line (the old line). The thinner, cheaper 30 GB iPod (photo) is much more appealing to me and something I'm now saving my pennies up for….

More Syrian military attacks near Damascus (+video)
Syrian forces moved against a town near the capital Thursday, using tanks and artillery to flush out opposition fighters.
Troops and tanks swept into a restive town near Damascus on Thursday in an assault aimed at crushing opposition to President Bashar al-Assad, whose struggle for survival has dragged Syria into an increasingly bloody war.
Artillery and helicopters attacked the Sunni Muslim town of Daraya for 24 hours, killing 15 people and wounding 150, before soldiers moved in and raided houses, opposition sources said.
There was little resistance as Assad's forces pushed toward the center of Daraya, on the southwest edge of Damascus. Armed rebels had apparently already left, activists in Damascus said.
"They are using mortar bombs to clear each sector. Then they enter it, while moving towards the centre," said Abu Zeid, an activist speaking by phone from an area near Daraya.
Other activists said the army was also bombarding parts of the town from Qasioun, a mountain overlooking Damascus, and from a Republican Guard barracks near a hilltop presidential palace.
"For about an hour we heard explosions and gunfire. It is not as bad as yesterday yet but tensions are really high," opposition activist Samir al-Shami told Reuters from Damascus.
Assad's forces also raided the southeastern Kafr Souseh area early on Thursday and detained people, another activist said.
The military had driven insurgents from most of the areas they seized in the capital after a bomb killed four top security officials on July 18, but rebels have crept back, regrouping without taking on the army in pitched battles.
Punitive military raids and summary killings appear to be one response as Assad strives to keep control of Damascus and the northern commercial hub of Aleppo, opposition sources say.
YouTube footage showed a funeral in Daraya of a mother and five children from the al-Sheikh family. Activists said the victims were killed by shellfire in the town after fleeing this week's military offensive on the Damascus suburb of Mouadamiya.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - According to the Associated Press, a military hearing to determine whether Major Nidal Hasan should stand trial in 2009's deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood is expected to wrap up today.
The hearing for the Army psychiatrist has been on hold for about three weeks. Wounded soldiers from the shooting have already testified.
Lead defense attorney John Galligan says he doesn't plan to present any evidence. The hearing is expected to conclude shortly after it resumes today.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. The shooting happened November 5, 2009.
The commanding general at Fort Hood will also decide whether Hasan should be court-martialed.

Following a tradition of naming protective equipment after body parts (Iris goggles, Cortex helmet, etc.) the POC Trabec gets its name from trabecular, an anatomical term referring to structural tissue. The reference is obscure but fitting considering the helmet's incorporation of a Kevlar-like material called Aramid, which is commonly used in bullet-proof vests. The $175 Trabec Race (shown here) uses Aramid filament wrapped around a lightweight EPS foam structure. A $145 version of the helmet, simply called the Trabec, uses less Aramid filament in its wrap, but is otherwise identical to the Trabec Race—both weigh the same 350 grams, both pass the same standardized CE and CPSC safety tests, and in fact both come from the same molds. The $30 price difference comes solely from the extra Aramid used in the Race model. While the helmet, slated to be released later this month, has yet to be market tested in the real world, the idea of a bullet-proof brain bucket does sound appealing.

CenterPoint Properties Announces 306,805 Square Foot Build-to-Suit In McCook, IL
OAK BROOK, Ill., Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CenterPoint Properties is pleased to announce that Lawson Products (NASDAQ: LAWS) will lease a modern build-to-suit packaging and distribution center in McCook, Illinois.

Supreme Court bars mandatory life sentences for juveniles
Supreme Court ruling aims to give judges and juries an opportunity to consider 'mitigating circumstances' before sentencing a juvenile offender to life in prison, without possibility of parole.
Evan Vucci/AP
In a major decision issued Monday, the US Supreme Court struck down mandatory sentencing schemes requiring juvenile defendants to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Voting 5 to 4, the high court declared that automatically sentencing someone so young to a lifetime behind bars – with no future prospect than to die in prison – is cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Constitution's Eighth Amendment.
"The Eighth Amendment forbids a sentencing scheme that mandates life in prison without the possibility of parole for juvenile offenders," Justice Elena Kagan wrote in the majority decision. "A judge or jury must have the opportunity to consider mitigating circumstances before imposing the harshest possible penalty for juveniles," she said.
Justice Kagan said mandatory sentencing provisions eliminate the ability of a sentencing court to take into consideration all mitigating circumstances about a juvenile's life and involvement in the crime before concluding that life without parole is appropriate punishment for a young offender.
"Although we do not foreclose a sentencer's ability to make that judgment in homicide cases, we require it to take into account how children are different, and how those differences counsel against irrevocably sentencing them to a lifetime in prison," she wrote.

WASHINGTON (NBC33) — On Wednesday, Jan. 8, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that LSU was one of three schools to receive agricultural grants for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
The IPM is designed to decrease the use of potentially harmful pesticides and lower the risk to bees. The goal is to accomplish this while still controlling pests and saving money.
A team from the LSU AgCenter received over $167K in national grant funds
"These collaborative projects can provide innovative solutions to reduce pesticide risks to pollinators and crops," said James Jones, assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. "Initiatives such as these will encourage others to adopt promising technologies and practices across the nation to reduce pesticide risks while maximizing crop production and protecting public health."
The LSU project specifically focuses on minimizing the impact that insecticides used in mosquito control have on bees.
While mosquito control is important for public health, bees are essential for crop production and a healthy food supply.

Acasti Strengthens Its IP Portfolio
LAVAL, Quebec, Oct. 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acasti Pharma ("Acasti") (Nasdaq:ACST) (TSX‑V:APO), a Neptune Technologies & Bioressources Inc.'s ("Neptune") subsidiary, announces that the U.S Patent & Trademark Office (the "USPTO") has allowed Acasti's composition and use patent application entitled Concentrated Therapeutic Phospholipid Compositions (the "Patent") (Publication number: US20110160161). Acasti expects this allowance to be the last step before the USPTO officially grants the Patent, which Acasti anticipates will occur by the end of 2013.
The Patent relates to concentrated therapeutic phospholipid omega-3 compositions and covers methods for treating or preventing diseases associated with cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, neurodevelopmental diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. To date, Acasti's patent application has been filed in more than 40 jurisdictions worldwide.
In addition to the USPTO's allowance, Acasti was recently granted a corresponding patent in South Africa, which is enforceable and valid until October 29, 2029.
"Building and protecting our intellectual property is a key part of our business strategy and we believe today's announcement is another important achievement in growing this valuable asset," highlighted Dr. Harlan W. Waksal, M.D., Executive Vice-President Business and Scientific Affairs. "Together with Neptune, our composition patents should preclude others from entering the market with pharmaceutical omega-3 phospholipid concentrates. In addition, this new U.S. Patent should be enforceable and valid until October 29, 2029, which will extend the life of our U.S. patent portfolio." About Acasti Pharma Inc. Acasti is developing a product portfolio of proprietary novel long-chain omega-3 phospholipids. Phospholipids are the major component of cell membranes and are essential for all vital cell processes. They are one of the principal constituents of High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol) and, as such, play an important role in modulating cholesterol efflux. Acasti's proprietary novel phospholipids carry and functionalize the polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which have been shown to have substantial health benefits and which are stabilized by potent antioxidants. Acasti is focusing initially on treatments for chronic cardiovascular and cardiometabolic conditions within the medical food and prescription drug markets.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

ESPN struggling? No way. I thought that Who's Now series was the best piece of sports journalism we've seen in decades, maybe centuries.
All their useful content is on their Insider pay-site, the free stuff is pure garbage. ESPN.com has become a total joke.
What happaned with Raiders go-to play: Aaron Brookes backwards pass?? oh wait that was part of the Saints playbook...
Hard for me to blame ESPN. The NFL is restricting use of their content more and more. If ESPN or any other station did come up with something more innovative, I can see the NFL cracking down with even more restrictions, trying to force more cable companies and customers to pay for the NFL Network, whether they want it or not. Like it or not, its only a matter of time.

Enter Archability. The young gun bypasses the "Ideabooks" and visual-heavy profiles of its competitor to match building contractors and architects with project bids or extra talent. But growth has been slow for the online platform, which launched in April at the Silicon Valley startup conference DEMO and lets users exchange payments through a PayPal application on the site.
Archability has been a bootstrapped, for-profit venture from the get-go, unlike Houzz, which attracted attention from investors after its founders spread a beta version to friends and family. "It comes off as a volume-based type of business," says Archability founder Livingstone Mukasa. "The only way for it to be seen as viable is if there is a steady growth in projects coming in."
So far, that's been a holdup. The site currently hosts 70 contractor profiles but no projects—a big part, but not all, of the site's viability. Mukasa, who decided to pursue the platform after coming up short in a search for outside contractors to help with his own project work, also hopes it will serve as a talent pool for firms on all points of the design spectrum who cut staff during the downturn and now might be lacking depth or expertise.
Houzz is known for users who are serious about projects real or imagined, fueling a steep image portfolio that caused one tech critic to call the platform (which also touts an iPad and iPhone app) "the Flickr tailored to the home design freaks." The most popular feature among professionals and consumers is Ideabooks, or collections of images selected by and shared among users. This section of the site is helping its initial consumer-first approach push collateral professional gains.
Archability's professional-first approach takes Houzz's natural evolution and packages it into a seemingly efficient bundle: potential clients post projects, contractors bid on them, clients review the bidders' profiles and select the best candidate, schedules are coordinated, payments are made on the website. In an industry that's built on in-person interactions, even Mukasa warns that the platform isn't for big projects. In an interview with CrowdSourcing, he says that the platform supplements the client-architect relationship. "That face-to-face time is invaluable to a client and to the architect to understand the scope of the project and to help the architect best deliver the solution for their client," he says. "For example, if somebody wanted a house from scratch, this is probably is not the best place for them to source that work. But, if somebody needed the components of that process, then this would certainly help."
Mukasa doesn't see his architecture background—the Houzz folks are business and tech experts—as something that will inhibit the platform's growth. "Coming from the industry, I have my biases," he says. "I know the value of these services and I want to protect them."

Aggie Memorial Stadium
Attendance: 20,607
Las Cruces, NM (Sports Network) - Yonus Davis ran for 107 yards and a score as he helped lead the San Jose State Spartans to a 31-14 win over the New Mexico State Aggies in Western Athletic Conference action at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
Also adding to the running attack for the Spartans (5-2, 3-0 WAC) was Brandon Rutley who gained 50 yards and also made it into the end zone once in the team's third consecutive victory.
The Aggies (3-3, 1-1) were paced by Chase Holbrook who converted 23-of-38 for 206 yards and a score and also ran for another touchdown as the team had its two-game win streak snapped. Holbrook, who was sacked five times, was also picked off twice in the losing effort.
SJSU ripped off 21 unanswered points to begin the game, but only one of those three touchdowns was scored on offense. Davis opened the evening's scoring with a 32-yard TD run barely a minute into the first quarter. At the 10:05 mark of the period Kyle Flynn, who finished with three sacks a week ago in the win over Utah State, picked off a pass and returned it 90 yards for the score to give the Spartans a 14-0 lead after one quarter of action.
A minute into the second frame Duke Ihenacho recorded a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown for the second straight week, pushing the lead to 21-0.
Chris Williams, who finished with a game-high 12 catches for 146 yards, reeled in a seven-yard TD from Holbrook to cut the deficit to 21-7 at the break.
Holbrook's two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter capped a lengthy 19- play, 80-yard drive that ate up more than eight minutes to make the score 21-14.
However, in a span of two minutes the Spartans put the game out of reach with a 33-yard field goal by Jared Strubeck and a 12-yard TD run by Rutley down the stretch to give the visitors a 17-point win.
San Jose State finished the contest with just 201 yards of total offense and ran 19 fewer plays (74-55) than the Aggies.

Genome Mappers to Make Amends
Reports are conflicting. On Tuesday The Wall Street Journal said that the White House would be hosting a joint announcement on Monday, but a White House spokesman later denied the report. Researchers also say the report was premature.
"I can honestly tell you that none of us have heard anything official about anything going on at the White House," said Dr. George Weinstock, co-director of the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center. "I know that the White House is interested, and I'm sure they'll have statement, but nothing is planned right now."
Meanwhile, Celera Genomics, the for-profit company pitted as rival to the government-funded Human Genome Project's, seems to be waiting in the sidelines until a time and means for an announcement can be worked out.
Researchers seem to agree that a joint or simultaneous announcement would be a breath of fresh air.
"All of us in the scientific community have been a little bit appalled by all of the negative press that's surrounding what we all view as a real pivotal event in the history of mankind," said Roy Whitfield, president and CEO of Incyte, a genomics company in Palo Alto, California. "So it would be lovely if people would get back to how this builds for the future."
Until now, the HGP and Celera have been neck-and-neck in a race to finish the map that will serve as a blueprint to help researchers discover diagnostic tools, treatments, and cures for human disease.
It would be a relief, researchers say, to focus on the science instead of the feud that has surrounded the race between the HGP and Celera.
"The fundamental issue is scientific recognition, and I think everyone deserves to be recognized for a hard effort," said Robert Williamson, chief operating officer of DoubleTwist, a genomics company in Oakland, California, that uses the public HGP information to make its own discoveries.
"Coordinating an announcement would recognize the scientific effort that has been made in both the public and private sectors," he said.
Adding another twist to the plot, the Sanger Center scientists in the United Kingdom, one of the five major sites working on the government-funded Human Genome Project, said they planned to call their own news conference on Monday, independent of the multinational effort.
Fellow HGP researchers in the United States, who asked to be anonymous, expressed annoyance that Sanger scientists might strike out on their own. But others said it makes sense that at the news of a possible White House ceremony, the Sanger researchers would want to be sure accolades were not reserved for the American team.
"I suspect that they want to really demonstrate to the U.K. community what a great event this is and the importance of the Sanger Center's accomplishments," Whitfield of Incyte said.
Celera researchers previously said they would announce their completion of a rough draft of the human genome map in early June. Now, in the latter half of the month, the company has still not made its announcement.
Celera officials refused to comment, leaving investors and the public wondering if their map is finished or if company officials may be waiting for the publicly funded HGP to coordinate an announcement.
"I sure can't say anything," said Billy Coble, a Celera spokesman.
The move to announce jointly wouldn't be completely selfless. Celera's stock skyrocketed $18.50 to a high of $138.50 after the news and has remained in that range since.
Analysts have observed in the past that the high-stakes brawl between Celera and the HGP researchers harmed Celera's reputation and in turn its stock price.
The leader of the HGP, Dr. Francis Collins, and the president of Celera, Craig Venter, have exchanged scathing comments about each other since Venter announced last September that Celera researchers had begun to map the human genome, and that they would spend far less time and money than the HGP.

- How do you create a "promo" for a food photographer when most creatives just end up throwing them in

On Thursday September 22 TAXI and Edward Pond, a commercial photographer and food fanatic, hosted
a no-holds-barred culinary cook-off. We took some of the greats of Canadian advertising and design, placed
them in the kitchen and pitted them against each for the title of "Creative Chef Champion."
The result? The event sold out in just over a week after tickets went on sale. Close to 200 people jammed Mildred's Temple in Liberty Village and experienced a living, breathing promotion for Edward Pond and his photography. More importantly, Edward has never been busier.

Mr Scott, recently the head of a corporation that agreed to pay millions of dollars to settle fraud charges, might not really be that good as a businessman, let alone governor.
It amazes me that people will vote for someone who will tip-toe up to admitting stealing millions of dollars from their clients.
Why would anyone vote for an admitted thief? Why would you expect them to do anything other than steal again when given an opportunity?
You forgot to mention the part about where he stood to make obscene amounts of money from his businesses administering those mandatory drug tests. Of course those businesses are now owned by his wife so everything is ok!
In fairness to Mr. Scott, other successful businessmen have done a great job as US president, such as Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush.
Uh, wait a minute. Let me re-think this...
There are some striking similarities between Scott & Romney, and after watching Scott fumble his way through the first several years I would not expect Romney to do much better and the stakes are much higher than Florida.
It is silly to talk about running a government like a business. Business has a luxury denied to government. They can fail! They can shut down unprofitable divisions, consolidate, diversify, and borrow from unconventional sources, like Dad, or a home equity line.
So much for the myths about successful businessmen having the understanding or flexiblility to run government. Making it in a clearly organized hierarchical system is one thing; the rules are jigged in his favor. Doing a successful job where persuasion, trade-offs and a much larger dose of duplicity to keep all the consituencies in line are what makes the wheels turn is a horse of a different hue.
Caveat Romnem, who hopes to substitute mere intelligence for all of the above. It will be instructive to see where the most mauling comes from.

I will be brewing this weekend, and I plan on making a starter. If I make my starter on Friday night, will Saturday be too soon to pitch the yeast, even if fermentation is basically peaking? When I made my last starter, fermentation was peaking after about 24 hours and was done about 24 hours later. I can wait until Sunday to brew, but I can't wait much longer. unfortunately, I can not make my starter tonight, and after using a starter, I feel like I need to make one if I want my batch to turn out as good as it possibly can. Thanks for the input.
You can do that - I usually start my starters a day earlier than that - Thursday afternoon for a Saturday brew. But mine certainly don't finish in 24 hours! I pitched a 1200ml starter Saturday noon, had a krausen by 3pm - and today is Thursday and it's still bubbling furiously. Constant 64F. I'll be leaving it 4 weeks, then kegging. I'm a firm believer in patience.
24hr is fine. 16hr is minimum in my opinion, 24hr seems to be good as well, especially if you have a stir plate. If you make a starter on Friday you can have it to pitch on Saturday. Even if you think it needs time to kick off, you can brew Saturday and pitch Sunday. If you are making a big beer then you really need to worry about the starter being as active as possible. If it is a brew with an OG of less than a 1.070 then 16-24hr will be fine. Heck, my 1.105 OG beer fermented out fine with a 16hr 1.5L stirplate starter.
What is the OG of the beer you are making? I'd be concerned about whether a simple starter is enough or if the starter will need to be stepped up a few times to create enough yeast.
the og won't be too high, somewhere between 1.045 and 1.050 at most (it's a Hefe), using WLP300. My batch will also be a 4 gallon batch, so I shouldn't need much more than a Liter
Oh, dude, just throw the vial in! I just did a Hefe with WLP300, tossed the vial in without a starter. OG was 1.051, FG was 1.011 after 1 week. So yeah, if you need to do a starter, then you can make it the day before. I don't do starters for anything below 1.060, and it has worked out fine for me thus far.
You absolutely do not NEED to do a starter - I didn't for years. One vial or smack pack certainly works. What happens is the yeast have to get busy multiplying, (along with eating sugars) in order to accommodate the vast resources we give them. This is your "lag" time. A starter bumps that 100 Billion yeast cell count up to 200-300 Billion, or more. Less reproductive work to do once it hits the wort (although still significant) and shorter lag times.
A good write up of starters and what impact they have on your beer can be found at: www.mrmalty.com/starter_faq.php Remember if you keep things sanitary enough you can have your chilled wort sit for a while and let your starter keep/begin going. I have on occasion made a starter the same day (with a portion of the wort). Let the starter go a few days (as needed to reach your cell count) then aerate your 'main' wort (which should have sat airlocked with no activity those days) and pitch. I've done this with good results... But for low & medium gravity beers I've also just pitched directly from the vial or packet with good results...
