Sarepta CEO role in talks with FDA on eteplirsen to be limited, WSJ says
After some of Sarepta Therapeutics' executives worried that CEO Chris Garabedian's involvement in talks with the FDA about its review of the company's DMD drug eteplirsen was counterproductive, the company recently moved to place new limits on his responsibilities to bring them more in-line with other biotech companies of Sarepta's size and maturity, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.

8 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Robin Williams
Robin Williams is a man who lived a pretty incredible life before his death yesterday at the young age of 63.
Robin Williams is a man who lived a pretty incredible life before his death yesterday at the young age of 63.
Multiple sources, including his wife and Entertainment Weekly, report that actor Robin Williams died this morning at the age of 63.
I haven't watched American Idol in what feels like forever, but I did watch in 2008 and was a fan of Michael Johns and am in complete shock after hearing about the American Idol finalist's sudden death at the age of 35.
Happy Birthday to Edward Herrmann. He turns 71 today. He's also one of my favorite actors. I meant him once and in true Glenn Pitcher fashion, I put my size 13 into my mouth....Maybe that's why I have a big mouth because I'm always putting my foot in it.
Actor James Garner, known for his roles in "The Notebook" and "Victor Victoria' as for his television roles in "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files" has passed away at the age of 86.
I didn't think it was possible for The Voice to get any better than it already is and then I heard that Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale will serve as a mentor on the upcoming season!
I don't know about you, but the last thing I need is a reminder of just how many crow's feet I counted in the mirror this morning, but since the clocks don't stop ticking and our favorite stars are getting older with us, I'd say 2014 is a good time to stop and smell the roses.
My parents live in a historic section of town and movie directors think it's the perfect place to film. Movies like 'Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight' and 'The Place Beyond The Pines' have been filmed right in front of their house.
Duck Dynasty's Robertson family like to tout their strong religious convictions and family values, but they're not above admitting that they're just like everyone else and that they too have sinned.
Even though the ratings drop lower and lower each year, American Idol producers say they're sticking with the show and their judges' panel.

Therapy Frog/Fascinated Frog is an advice animal meme featuring a whited lipped tree frog (?) sitting at an ominously-lit desk.
On October 27, 2011, user 000133 on Chinese Forum bbs.voc.com.cn/ published a string of photos[1]. One of which was 7efcbd21jw1dmdtejgzlnj.jpg, a photo of a frog clasping their hands on a desk in a dim room.
Exactly two months later, on December 27, Robert Anderson posted the same image on his Google Plus [2]. The image, gp112.png, now had advice animal text. As of April 13, 2012, this image has +1'd by 180 people and reshared by 166 people.
The next day, the picture had been spread and posted on iwastesomuchtime.com[3], themetapicture.com[4], and other sites. Tumblr user nyarlathothep added a second frame to the image. His post was reblogged 61 times.
On April 13, 2012, Oafah uploaded the image to Quickmeme[5] as an Advice Animal dubbed "Fascinated Frog." In these memes, the frog talks sarcastically, though it is subtle and you cannot quite tell if he is really interested or just a jerk. The first line revolves around the frog rephrasing a question and the second line featuring a snarky phrase, like "Oh, do go on," "How interesting," or "Intriguing…" On April 13 and 14, the image popped up in Quickmeme's top ten and the the first Fascinated Frog was featured.

Popular Woodworking Jigs
- Details
- Created on Thursday, 26 March 2015 01:57
- Hits: 140
Jigs and woodworking are synonymous. There are many reasons for woodworkers to make jigs. Sometimes they are made for a single cut or single use, sometimes they are used to make multiple numbers of something and other times they are made to help improve safety. Whatever the reason, jig making is a part of woodworking. They can simple or complex but are often made from bits and pieces of wood found around the workshop that would otherwise end up as firewood.
I always seem to be making one sort of jig or another, the biggest problem I have is after I store them for a few months (or years) I forget what I had them for. What's worse, I have been known (on a few occasions) to make a new jig, when I already had one but forgot I had it.
I have a few jigs that I use all-the-time, like the ones featured here.
The first, is the center finder. I always seem to be cutting wood in half. I purchase a lot of rough cut lumber that is quite wide and often needs to be cut in half to run through the jointer and planer. I also find that I am often ripping thicker boards in half and all of this means finding an accurate center.
Building a Trebuchet

Model making, or more specifically, building small versions - to scale - is an important part of woodworking. All of the renowned woodworkers that I have studied, did some forms of building scale models of their ideas and designs ... or at least had one of their workers do it for them.
There is something fascinating about scale models of real objects whether it is scale model airplanes, cars or logging and trucking equipment like Serge Roberge does in his Replicas in Wood scale model heavy equipment pieces.
I have always been intrigued by ancient machinery and tools and so decided to embark on making a Trebuchet. Some of you will call this a catapult, but that is actually a different machine, you can check this out on the Internet. I wanted to make as realistic looking as possible, at least to what I had seen in replica pictures and drawings.
I decided to use Garry Oak, and dye it to look more like a weather European woods that might have been used hundreds of years ago.
Since I wasn't really concerned if it worked or not because it was only to be a display or conversation piece, I could build this according to what I thought looked accurate. I started off by cutting some 3/4" x 3/4" square sticks that would form most of the machine, with the small exception of some thin planks that would be use on base where the rocks would have been loaded into the sling.
** UPDATE ... for everyone who wanted to see the Trebuchet working, here is the video of shooting the Trebuchet ...
Remember ... this was built just as a decorative piece, but it actually works ....... and ......
Setting Up Your Workshop
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:50
- Hits: 271
Workshops often grow organically ... by that I mean, you start off woodworking with a few tools and a workbench. Later on you get a few more tools, maybe some machinery and they a placed within the shop where there is room. Next thing you know it is years later and you have acquired many more tools and machines and they don't always seem to be in the best or most convenient spots.
Has this ever happened to you? I has to me which is why I always stop and take stock of how my shop is set up at least once every year. I am also influenced by other shops that I visit and by seeing their ideas and set-ups and sometimes I can use their ideas too in my shop to make it better for me.
There are many reasons that we need to re-evaluate our workshop space from time to time, and it's not just for convenience. Even more important is our own safety. A workshop that is properly laid out can be safer to work in just because it is easier to clean for example, or perhaps there is less chance of tripping over things like cords, dust collection hoses or running into edges of machinery.
The more we can do to make our workshops more conducive to work in, the more we will want to work in the and be safe, and all that means is there is more opportunity for us to do better, more enjoyable work.
Selecting and Installing Simple HInges

- Hits: 481
There are so many woodworking projects that use hinges, I am always astounded at how many different kinds, sizes and types there are. Easily the most used and perhaps the most useful is the common Butt Hinge.
It can be used inside the frame, outside the frame, between the frame and door and it comes in many, many variations.
If you wondering what a Butt Hinge looks like, just look a pretty much any door, unless it has some sort of a decorative hinge, it probably has Butt Hinges installed, and even if it is decorative, it might still be some variation of the a butt hinge.
Installing hinges is like many other things in woodworking, once you are shown a few tips and tricks, they become easy to install and are properly aligned, straight and help to augment your woodworking rather than taking away from it. In this video we highlight some of those tricks and tips to make hinge selection less frustrating and easier to to do.

Fantastic Holiday
This is our second cruise with P&O and both times were enjoyable so we can't recommend this company enough.
The ship was spotlessly clean, the menu varied in all restaurants and the staff always had a smile no matter what time of day.We preferred the Freedom dining option, we did use the formal restaurant on formal nights but also ate at the self service buffet and the Italian restaurant, all being equally good in their own right.
The entertainment team worked relentlessly and whipped up a fantastic atmosphere for the 'sail away parties'.
The ports of call were all different, we didn't use the on board excursion facility but managed to visit many places independently, taxis are readily available at each port, but don't forget to haggle the price!
We will be booking with P&O again as we find them to be excellent value, good quality ships and very pleasant staff.
Well done P&O you certainly had four satisfied customers in our More party! Less

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
This week, a top environmental watchdog for the state claimed pressure from the coal industry played a role in his resignation.
Now some environmental groups are weighing in.
When George Elmaraghy, chief of the EPA's Division of Surface Water, sent a mass email to his staff Monday morning, he said he was asked to resign by the governor's office and the director of the agency.
He says the move was made after considerable pressure from the coal industry.
The Division of Surface Water executes permits ensuring that the state is following the federal Clean Water Act.
While the agency will not talk about Elmaraghy's resignation, which takes effect next month, it does stand by its permitting process saying that their permits are evaluated by several third-parties, including the federal EPA.
A spokesperson for the agency says the permits are submitted based on the law, no matter who's making the decision.
Zane Daniels is the president of the Ohio Coal Association; he says his association does not impact or play any role in personnel decisions at the EPA.
But some environmental advocates believe the coal industry does have a strong influence on the agency.
Trent Dougherty, staff attorney for the Ohio Environmental Council, dealt with Elmaraghy on different issues. He says he always thought the chief was fair in his decisions.
"I've only known the chief to follow the law and if the EPA is saying that everyone in that position has to follow the law then why is he being forced to leave and I think that's a question that can only be answered by the govenror's office and the director of EPA," Dougherty said.
Last week an Ohio House panel held a hearing in Belmont County to talk about energy generation. There to deliver testimony was Bob Murray, president of Murray Energy Corporation, which touts itself as the largest privately-owned coal company in America.
Murray told the committee that President Barack Obama and policies by the U.S. EPA were causing "catastrophic economic destruction.â€
Murray never specifically addressed state EPA policies in his written testimony but Jed Thorp, manager of the Sierra Club's Ohio Chapter, says the timing of Murray's testimony and Elmaraghy's resignation might not be a coincidence.
"To me it's not real surprising that not even a week after that that you're seeing heads roll at the agency.â€
Murray Corporation Spokesperson Gary Broadbent says the company had nothing to do with the resignation of Elmaraghy.
Both the Ohio Environmental Council and the Sierra Club say Elmaraghy's departure is a step in the wrong direction as far as protecting Ohio's streams and wetlands.

Ciao.. sono Giuliana e sono di Roma. . . venite a visitare questa splendida città e questo splendido quartiere .
Giuliana has completed online and offline ID verification.

We had a very nice stay in the microhouse. The apartment itself is tiny but practical and cute. The terrace is simply awesome.
The neighborhood is pretty cool. It has an alternative vibe to it with lots of young people and immigrants. Some corners might seem a bit dodgy but generally the streets are full of live. There are plenty of bars around the corner and a market in the streets in the morning.
Giuly is very helpful and uncomplicated. She immediately answered whenever we contacted her.
The only negative point: WLAN in the apartment was not workingduring our stay.
Beautiful view from the massive terrace, lovely studio apartment perfect for a couple, nice neighbours and a really lively and fun area. Perfect!
Giuliana's studio was very cool, placed on top of a building on the pedestrian area of Pigneto. After climbing the steps up to the studio we got rewarded with a splendid urban view and lovely terrazza. Giuliana is very welcoming and helpful. Pigneto really comes to life in the evening and night, a lots of restaurants and bars to enjoy. In the day it's nice to walk around and look at street art, drink coffee in caffés. It is not very close to walk to the historical center, but there are good connections with busses and tram. While in Rome, stay here :)
Giulia's place was perfect - great young neighbourhood, lovely, charming and clean flat with a fantastic terrace and view. Giulia was a wonderful and helpful host, we couldn't have wished for anything better. Thanks!
Giuliana is a very nice and kind person. Very reactive to our questions and Giuliana is flexible for the checkin and checkout, this was much appreciated.
The house is located in a very surprising area (Pigneto), not yet known to toursits guide but by italian and it very nice to hang out, eat and drink with true romanians, good prices and quality.
Lots of bus are in the area and a subway is coming (line C) in 2014.
The house is clean, with a lot of furnitures. The terrasse is a must (even if we did not use it a lot due to the weather :) )
Giuliana is a really nice person, she welcomed us really late in the evening in a very friendly way. The neighboorhood is full of life with many bars in the street but as the appartment is on the last floor there was no noise. The studio is really confortable, we didn't miss anything, and the terass was really a bonus.
I highly recommend her appartment!
Giuliana's place was great! Small but big enough for two. And the flat is on a fantastic roof top terrace. There is also a vinyl player which was a great bonus :)
Giuliana was a very nice guest to have. Communicating with her before the booking was easy and fast, and she was very flexible with her check in procedures. She left the apartment in a very clean condition. I recommend her highly as an airbnb guest.
Giuliana is a very nice person, her flat is very comfortable, situated in a really interesting and young area of Rome, full of special places and strange people...
She's flat is situated in a very cool and full of life in the city of Rome, very young and trendy. Comfortable and attractive is good for 2 people. Giuliana is a girl full of vitality and she is very friendly. A stay in her flat will be unique.

Thank you to SwedishAmerican Hospital
Thank you to the staff on the seventh floor of SwedishAmerican Hospital.
Hospitals are some of the oldest institutions in the world, such as the first psychiatric hospital built in Baghdad in 705. Pennsylvania Hospital was the nation's first and founded in 1751.
Times have changed, and we here in Rockford area are blessed with Swede's. With my recent seven-day bout with pneumonia, I experienced the most compassionate, caring and considerate care available today. I told this (mostly) young staff that I asked a lot of questions and would appreciate honest and truthful answers. And did they ever. Every time I opened my mouth to speak, they immediately stopped what they were doing, looked intently at me, and never spoke until I finished. Straight answers, and if they didn't know, guaranteed I would know as soon as possible.
I had no idea what to expect in a modern-era hospital today. My question now is, "Where did you find these incredible people?" Committed! From housekeeping to doctors and all that encompasses. So many people to thank, so just thank you all for taking care of me.
A couple of times when I was getting surveyed about something, I told whoever that I needed a nap and to write down these words: "I know, right now, that I am in the right place at the right time." Thank you.

My first question is, what is the difference between a normal Silverlight Application in Visual Studio VS. a Silverlight Business Application?!
My second question is, when I begin a new Silverlight Application Visual Studio asks whether I want to use an ASP.Net website to host the project, or an ASP.Net MVC project. HOWEVER, When I create a new Silverlight BUSINESS Application, Visual Studio does not let me specify which type of ASP.Net website I want to hose my application in and simply creates a normal ASP.Net project by default. Since I want to use ASP.Net MVC, is there a way of changing this so that I can use an MVC project by default? Or somewhere to specify which one I want to use!?
Kind regards.

Bats a focus again early on Day 2 of draft
Padres take three college hitters, high school catcher and four college arms
The Padres added four arms – four collegiate arms, to be exact – to their draft stock Friday. Their board, however, continued to shake out a number of projectable bats to add to their pitching rich system.
"We just lined them up and took them the way we liked them," Assistant General Manager Chad MacDonald said after the second day of baseball's amateur draft. "We did feel like there was some bats out there that presented values as hitters and guys who could get on base and do some damage and also presented defensive value."
None might present more upside than UC Riverside shortstop Nick Vilter, who slid to the Padres in the ninth round due in part to a broken hand that he sustained in the middle of a breakthrough season in the Big West. The 6-foot-4, right-handed hitter led his conference with 10 homers and a .550 slugging percentage after a quick start to the season.
"We were very, very excited to get Vilter in the ninth round; we talked about him a lot," said MacDonald, noting that Vilter's hand checked out OK. "He swung the bat as good as anyone in college baseball to start the year."
The Padres also drafted a pair of college outfielders in the fourth and fifth rounds in Cal Poly's Nick Torres and Mississippi's Auston Bousfield before selecting another projectable high school bat in Connecticut prep catcher Zach Risedorf in the sixth round.
To keep him, the Padres will have to wrestle the 18-year-old catcher away from his scholarship to the University of Connecticut.
"He's extremely athletic, can hit, has a good arm and can catch – (and plays a) premium position," MacDonald said.
The Padres opened Friday's portion of the draft by selecting Rice pitcher Zech Lemond, a converted closer whom the Padres expect to keep as a starter. The 6-foot-4 right-hander pairs a 92-96 mph fastball with a plus slider and sinker, all of which helped him limit opposing hitters to a .203 average while posting a 52-to-16 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 53 1/3 innings.
Lemond entered Rice's rotation after an injury to the team's projected ace, but was limited to five starts when elbow inflammation cropped up. MacDonald said he was satisfied with Lemond's medical reports.
Seventh-round pick Ryan Butler out of UNC-Charlotte topped out at 99 mph during a workout, which will serve him well if initial plans to keep him in a rotation don't pan out.
The Padres rounded out their early pitching class with Utah right-hander Mitch Watrous, a converted shortstop, in the eighth round and Faulkner University left-hander Thomas Dorminy, a 5-foot-11 hurler who fanned 131 batters in 109 innings in NAIA competition, in the 10th.
Baseball's amateur draft will conclude with the final 30 rounds Saturday, with rapid-fire selections beginning at 10 a.m.

Climate Change: The United Nations' global warming panel is writing up a report from its most recent meeting. Are we doomed? Hardly. From the looks of leaked drafts, it appears the U.N. has at last discovered reality.
As it's done many times before, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change met in November to assess the threat of man-made global warming. And now it's working on a report intended to scare the masses into believing that humans are burning up their world.
We don't doubt that the final version of the IPCC's fifth report due next year will indeed make the usual attempt to frighten everyone. But for now those who trade in global warming alarmism are having to smooth out a troublesome bump in the report's draft.
Skeptic Alec Rawls, who signed on as a reviewer, leaked a passage from the draft that indicates the IPCC is actually admitting that a factor outside man's activities is playing a significant role in our climate.
"That sentence is an astounding bit of honesty," says Rawls, "a killing admission that completely undercuts the main premise and the main conclusion of the full report, revealing the fundamental dishonesty of the whole."
The contradictory passage Rawls is referring to goes like this:
"The forcing from changes in total solar irradiance alone does not seem to account for these observations, implying the existence of an amplifying mechanism such as the hypothesized GCR-cloud link. We focus here on observed relationships between GCR and aerosol and cloud properties."
In other words, galactic cosmic rays (GCR) are related to cloud and aerosol formation, which affects temperatures. This activity has been demonstrated in an experiment by scientists at Aarhus University in Denmark.
The Rawls leak is getting a fair amount of attention, particularly from alarmists, who contend it means nothing, and the IPCC, which in essence says, "Hey, it's just a draft and that passage might not appear in the final report anyway."
Which is typical for the IPCC, given its habit of removing findings and passages from final reports that cast doubt on its speculation that man is to blame for warming the planet.
While the IPCC works overtime to spin the Rawls leak, another headache has emerged for the group. Figure 1.4 from the draft shows that the models used to predict warming have projected temperatures higher than the observed temperatures we've seen.
The chart also shows that observed temperatures, rather than climbing ever upward, are where they were 15 years ago.
Skeptic Anthony Watts calls the chart a bombshell. The media have yawned. Meanwhile, another reviewer is pointing out that the draft is omitting a study that found no change in global water vapor even though the alarmists predicted that it would increase as carbon dioxide emissions climbed.
Yet again, the IPCC shows it's not interested in scientific inquiry but rather politics that serve one group while countering another. Like so much of the U.N., it has nothing useful to offer.

Abruzzo Resigns as DEP Secretary
Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
HARRISBURG A top aide to Gov. Tom Corbett embroiled in a scandal involving sexually-explicit emails exchanged when Corbett was attorney general resigned Thursday, effective immediately, the governor's office said.
E. Christopher Abruzzo, a member of Corbett's Cabinet heading environmental regulation, was among eight men whose names Attorney General Kathleen Kane made public from an office email exchange involving pornographic photos and videos. Abruzzo was secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection. He has declined comment since Kane's office showed the images to reporters last month.
Based on information Kane provided, the photos and videos from emails implicate at least eight former office employees, including Abruzzo and three others who still work for Corbett: State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan, DEP lawyer Glen Parno, and former agent Randy Feathers, who Corbett appointed to the Board of Probation and Parole.
The state Senate approved Corbett's nomination of Abruzzo as DEP secretary in December. He had been a deputy chief of staff to Corbett, and a chief deputy attorney general under Corbett.

I sincerely hope that the next Porn Daddy to resign from Corbett's administration will be the head of the State Police. And I have no doubt that Abruzzo has already been promised a job which will double his salary from one of the Big Frackers who are currently raping the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of its' natural resources without paying one frigging dollar in extraction taxes. As head of Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection, he's been double book-keeping when it comes to documenting pollution/property damage/personal injuries caused by fracking.
The porn involved was of the triple x-rated variety, and seemed to distract the good ole' boy network in Corbett's Attorney General office at the very time they could have been investigating Sandusky.

"bit of legal trouble": convicted felon defrauded friends/family of $10 million.
According to ABC News, Mezvinsky's downfall stemmed from an activity that has long been the subject of one of this site's most frequently-accessed articles, the ubiquitous Nigerian scam (also known as 419 fraud):
Despite being released in April 2008 after serving five years in prison, Mezvinsky remains on federal probation and still owes almost $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.
An ABC News investigation revealed that Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, had been caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams and began to steal from people to further his schemes.
"He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle," said federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer. According to Zauzmer, Mezvinsky, who is now 72, will be on supervised release, the federal version of probation, until 2011.
Read more at http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/mezvinsky.asp#c670ll7ucVVw5rKs.99
Beginning in the early 1990s Mezvinsky fell prey to a wide variety of 419 scams. According to a federal prosecutor, Mezvinsky was conned by "just about every different kind of African-based scam weve ever seen." In order to raise the funds needed to front the money for the fraudulent investment schemes he was being offered, Mezvinsky became, himself, a conman, tapping his network of contacts and dropping the name of the Clinton family to convince unwitting marks to give him money, he would call and say, Im spending the weekend with the Clintons..
As to his former wife, Marjorie Margolies, who just lost a primary bid to run for Congress,
she is profiled in a Politico article by a writer for Philadelphia magazine, as follows:
The Clinton-in-Law
(Headline)Marjorie Margoliess son married Chelsea Clinton. Is that enough to fuel her political comeback?
By SIMON VAN ZUYLEN-WOOD
December 04, 2013
Theres no question that the scandal and its messy fallout were damaging to Margolies as well. When she filed for bankruptcy, a judge rejected her assertion of ignorance in a scathing decision that, depending on how you read it, either calls her feminism into question or suggests she knows more than shes letting on. Her consistent response to questions asked by her creditors about the disposition of her assets is lack of knowledge or my husband handled it, a mantra that is completely at odds with her public persona, background, and accomplishments, the judge wrote.
Toni Goldberg defends Margolies as a career woman who was too busy to pay heed to her husbands schemes, but she says the judges indictment made sense to many at the time. Whatever decisions that were made in the marriage, their life, political life, social lifeMarjorie was the head guy, she says. And Ed adored her. And Ed just followed. (Margolies declined to comment on the Fenton lawsuit or the bankruptcy case.)
In 1997, several years after their first Renaissance Weekend together, Chelsea Clinton decided to attend Stanford University, where Marc was already enrolled. Rumors of romance followed. (The two officially started dating in 2005, though Goldberg says that they kept it undercover for many years before that. Another friend, Nancy Chasen, says that they were just best best best friends.) However close Chelsea and Marc were, Ed Mezvinsky tried to use their bond to his advantage. During his trial, it came out that he had tried to woo investors by touting Chelseas relationship with his son. When he thought it would help, a federal prosecutor told the New York Times.

(S)he filed for bankruptcy, but failed to receive a discharge from her debts, based on 11 U.S.C. §727(a)(5). The court found Mezvinsky had failed to satisfactorily explain a significant loss of assets in the four years prior to her bankruptcy filing. The bankruptcy judge stated, in her published opinion, "I find that the Debtor has failed to satisfactorily explain the loss of approximately $775,000 worth of assets (the difference between the $810,000 represented in May 1996 and the $35,000 now claimed in her Amended Schedule B)." Sonders v. Mezvinsky (in re Mezvinsky), 265 B.R. 681, 694 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2001).
According to documents obtained by The Huffington Post, as Ed Mezvinsky's fraud was exposed, Margolies doubled her own salary as head of a small, largely taxpayer-funded charity into the six figures, attempted to have the charity renovate and lease a mansion in which she would live, billed the charity for her automobile lease and other expenses, and required charity staff to assist with her other responsibilities as a faculty member at a local university.

Mistrial Declared For Governor's Former Son-In-Law
Source: CBS-Philly
PHILADELPHIA (AP) A jury in Philadelphia could not reach a verdict on theft charges against Gov. Tom Corbetts ex-son-in-law.
Authorities say the 44-year-old took bait money from a vehicle during an FBI sting on Jan. 31, 2013. Gibson, then a narcotics officer, had been told the car belonged to a suspect.
His attorney argued at trial that Gibson planned to turn in the money at the end of shift, but was confronted by investigators before he could do so.
A judge declared a mistrial Friday after jurors couldnt reach a unanimous verdict on counts of theft, obstruction and receiving stolen property.
Read more: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2014/09/19/mistrial-declared-for-governors-former-son-in-law/
The Judge set a new trial date for January 26th and the prosecutors have stated they WILL retry him. He was a narcotics officer; the governor's daughter, Katherine was and is a deputy attorney general for state's AG office, and was appointed to that position by the woman whom Corbett had appointed head of the Attorney General's office. She has remained with the AG's office after a Democrat was elected AG, and is most recently (August 25, 2014) reported as working on the Attorney General's Drug Strike Force Section. workinghttp://www.attorneygeneral.gov/press.aspx?id=8075
I've been wondering what happened to Gibson. He was caught by the FBI in a joint sting operation with the internal affairs unit of the Phillie police dept. back in January of 2013, suspended in February by the PD, and ordered to trial in August of 2013. News coverage currently refers to Kate Corbett Gibson as Gibson's ex-wife, or subsequently divorced, but I have found no report of a divorce per se.
Here's some background:
An FBI agent has testified that former officer Gerald Gibson, the son-in-law of Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett, took $140 in marked money from the bait car but didnt turned it over until confronted later by the FBI agent and Philadelphia police investigators (see related story).
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/08/13/trial-ordered-for-former-philly-cop-son-in-law-of-gov-corbett/f See also: http://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-state/2013/02/02/Sting-followed-many-suspicions-about-honesty-of-Corbett-in-law/stories/201302020264
2 comments: first, the wheels of justice turn awfully damn slow in systems bogged down by massive numbers of criminal laws (the reason the US leads the world in percentages of citizens incarcerated). Guess if you're going to privatize the prisons for profits, the next step would be to privatize the judiciary. Wonder if that's on the One Percent's agenda.
Second, sounds like the FBI screwed the pooch in arresting the guy before the end of his shift. All they needed to do was wait until he'd turned in his paperwork for the day. Then he'd either have turned in the money or not.

Anthony Weiner calls Sen. Warren's comments "overblown" and "petty"
Excerpt from column by Senator Warren on Huff Po:
Warren's HuffPo column procedes to decimate Weiner's position, chapter and verse.
I thought the deal was that Huma Abedin promised her boss, HRC to keep her husband, Anthony on the down low, i.e., out of the public eye until if & when Hillary got elected to that office for which she is not yet officially running. Did Weiner run that column past Huma/Hillary ahead of time? But here's Weiner calling Warren's criticism of the Wall Street revolving door "overblown" and "petty". Those 2 adjectives are better applied to the family jewels in the selfies Weiner posted.
Here's the link to the Business Insider web page where Weiner mouthed off. Hmmm. Perhaps Hillary & Huma are not as confident as HRC's supporters that Senator Warren will not be running for president.

Poll: Likely voters strongly back Wolf for Pa. gov
Source: Tribune-Review
PHILADELPHIA A poll of voters likely to cast ballots in Pennsylvania's gubernatorial election shows they prefer Democrat Tom Wolf over Republican incumbent Tom Corbett by a 24-point margin.
The Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows Wolf, a wealthy businessman, is favored by 59 percent of likely voters compared with 35 percent for Corbett.
At least half said Wolf would do a better job handling the issues of jobs, education, government spending and taxes. Fifty-four percent said they believe Wolf is honest and trustworthy but they were tied at 43 percent over Corbett.
Quinnipiac culled the 1,161 likely voters from more than 1,500 registered voters, based on their stated intentions and voting records, in telephone interviews between Sept. 3 and 8. The sampling error margin is plus or minus 2.9

Hoping Corbett's unpopularity within his own party will depress GOP turnout (it definitely did in the primary) and help dems capture some state legislative seats.

Long before Larry the Cable Guy there were The Beverly Hillbillies
Way back when that first aired, around 1962, I wrote (back then one wrote long letters to absent friends) to my former high school physics lab partner/good friend that I was disgusted by this program. She wrote back agreeing. We had gone through our teenage years watching the Golden Age of television in the 1950's: Yes the technology was primitive by today's standards, but the quality of writing, directing and acting on these programs was light years better than today's standard pap. The Beverly Hillbillies marked the strip mining of American Culture. How appropriate that the nouveau riches of the Clampets came from oil, i.e., Black Gold/Texas Tea.
Jethro from The Beverly Hillbillies seems to be the perfect role model of who the networks wanted to cater to with his "sixth-grade-educated-brain." Jethro was just smart enough to be able to read, willing to accept any media fads pushed at him, and had plenty of disposable income at hand. The perfect American television viewer.
Here are a couple of excerpts from a great article discussing the marvelous quality of the Golden Age of Television (and don't forget the underlying element of tension/excitement because these shows were brjoadcast live).

Yes I'd feel the same if 6'4", 210 lb. woman sexually assaulted a 5'5",150 lb. man
who was peacefully jogging on a public trail AND/OR when learning that the target of her assault was a law officer, then attacked him again. But wait . . . wait. . . .that NEVER happens, does it?
And, no, I don't want to live in a world where violence is permissible and most women will lose "Badly". That was the whole point of this incident, you see. A really large man physically assaulted and then charged at a much smaller woman. This man is charged with previously assaulting another woman that day. Why we don't call that asshole the one indulging in "sexist hate", since he doesn't assault men, but only women.
Query: Is it fair to call what the federal marshal did "violence"?
Response: NO!
The legal definition of "violence" is the unlawful exercise of physical force or intimidation by the exhibition of such force.
She offered him the chance to stop running and surrender to a law enforcement officer. He responded by charging at her. Her further self defense was absolutely legal and proportional . . . . and also effective. Only HIS actions would qualify as legally violent.
You want to throw "sexist hate" into this discussion. Oh, I absolutely agree that sexism is involved and hatred is involved, and it is all on the side of the male assailants. Here's just one recent example from a major American city:
The Los Angeles Police Department says women shouldn't be walking alone in two popular public parks.
Investigators say there have been five physical and sexual assaults in recent months.
All of them have happened during the day at Griffith Park and Debs Park in Montecito Heights.
Police say they're looking for two Latino men. One is between 20 and 25 years old with a slight build. The other guy is 5'7" and between 30 and 35 years old. Both were riding bikes at the time of the assaults.

Golly gee! Do find me a report of men being assaulted by women in public parks.
So I'm not enjoying violence. I'm celebrating justice!

5'5" female Federal Marshal takes down 6'4" male who grabbed her ass while she was jogging.
This is a really sweet report. I mean it's SWEET! Did I say S-W-E-E-T ?
Yup - she ran him down and took him out.
A federal agent ran down the man she said yanked on her clothes and kicked him when he tried to charge her Tuesday in the North Side. Pittsburgh police charged Robert Flynn, 19, of Spring Garden with indecent assault, aggravated assault, escape and false identification to law enforcement. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond, online court records show.
Based on the women's self-defense class I took while teaching night classes in Oakland, I can picture exactly where she kicked him, causing the 6'4" thug to bend over in acute pain, whereby this short woman could grab his shoulder and punch him in the face. Hint: it wasn't his shin.

No, you're the one with the conflict because you're in financial services.

"Give'em hell, Tom" - From Terry Madonna's "Politically Uncorrected Column"
Political science professor, G. Terry Madonna, has been the well-respected guru of political polling in Pennsylvania since the early 90's. Politicians in both parties take his work deadly seriously. But in today's Trib-Review, there's a report that GOP Gov. Corbett's campaign team is desperately accusing Madonna of fudging the statistics in the latest Franklin-Marshall poll, which shows Corbett trailing challenger Wolf by 25 points.
It's typical of what happens, Madonna said. Pollsters get attacked if the campaign's not doing well.
Checking up on Madonna, I came across an absolute jewel of a website for detailed analysis of Pennsylvania politics, i.e., Madonna's Politically Uncorrected Column. Here are excerpts from one of the most recent columns, titled "Give 'em Hell, Tom" which analyzes Corbett's pathetic attempt to run against Harrisburg when he's been governor for 4 years, and both chambers of the legislature are controlled by Republicans.
The entire article is a good read, as are other columns on the blog. IMHO, Madonna truly understands the history and culture of Harrisburg and politics in the state and within each party, and writes about them in a very accurate, yet also entertaining way. I'll be eagerly following this blog between now and November.

Absolute Black Leathered Kitchen Counter Top
I had AB installed in the kitchen and it was the contractor's first installation of AB. THE SILICON AND SEAM PUTTY SHOW UP IN A GLARING SHINE ON THE MATTE FINISH! They have been back once and don't know how to correct the problem. The last time I called, they said, don't call us, we'll call you.
So, I've researched. I've tried Acetone, which got off a lot, but not all of the products. I've tried magic eraser, toothbrush, steel wool...
What else can I try that won't hurt/change the granite? And should it be sealed with a colored sealant?
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! That is a terrible seam, and I would not be happy with it.
I'm sure others will weigh in with helpful information, but my initials thoughts are:
1. Stop trying to fix it yourself, lest the contractor comes back and claims, "Well, I *could* have fixed it until you put that (fill in blank) on it..."
2. Go back to your contract. Is there any verbiage there that can help you out?
3. Document everything--every detail, every date, every attempted call, everything.
There are others on this site who will have more useful information for you. Good luck!
If they don't know how to fix it they should remove it and refund all your money. Did you know this was the first time with AB? Even if you did they took the job.
The are some experts here on GW but they may not look at this thread. I thought you just wanted to show your new granite. You may want to email directly some of the "stone" people here such as oldryer.

Preparing new bed for strawberries next year
I'm considering removing the sod from my small south facing front yard and growing June-bearing strawberries there instead. From what I've read, I should plan to plant in early spring. If I remove the sod this fall, does anyone know if there's a fall crop I can sow and grow that I can till under in early spring to benefit the early spring berry planting?
I've never grown strawberries, and so any suggestions/lessons learned from experience are appreciated...I'm in Toronto.
I grew strawberries for years until it got too much for me to handle.
You really need 2 beds one for the stringers and one for the ones you planted the year before. If you leave them to go wild you will have some big plants that produce nothing and weeds growing all through the patch and it will be a tangled mess. It will be hard to pick and the plants won't thrive so you'll have small berries.
I would plant them now if you can find some and give them some shade during the heat of the day by putting something on the south side of them. The first year you plant them you won't get berries or very few. In fact they say you should pick off the blossoms the first year. I never did. The plants that were the stringers the year before will give you the most berries. By the time they are in their third year berry production falls off and eventually those plants will not have berries.
Unless you want a big crop of berries all at once and then nothing I suggest you try one of the everbearing varities. You will get a good crop but not as much as the June bearing ones. The benefit is that they will continue to produce small crops of berries all summer.
This is how I grew mine--
In the fall I cut off the stringers from the mother plants of the second year plants. Then I dug out the roots leaving the stringers in place for the winter and mulched around them. I also mulched the other bed.
In the spring I removed the mulch and dug out the stringers with a bit of soil which I placed in a cardboard box until I dug the plot Then I dug holes for the stringers and filled them with water. By the time you go back to the first hole it will have sunk into the ground. I planted the stringers in the prepared holes and mulched the plants
Mulching the strawberries keeps the berries off the ground so they won't rot and the moisture around the plants But it has to be removed when the plant starts to send out stringers. The stringers won't be able to root with the mulch there.
You can use anything to mulch but I found the long red or white pine needles made the best strawberry mulch. At pick your own farms they use straw.
I hope this helps

Turned ordinary into classy!
Deborah from Celebration, FL– Verified Buyer
Very pleased with this choice for changing the look of some very common contractor construction grade recessed lighting to a much more attractive, customized finish to the area I was decorating. A beautiful space can all in the details! I'm happy with this recessed light trim in an eye pleasing cream trim and bronze finish.
An easy update
Sharon from Orange, CA– Verified Buyer
These light trim kits are an easy and inexpensive way to lend some pizazz to otherwise plain, boring canned lights. In my case, since my lights are LED's, we had to do a little different installation. Depending on your ceiling texture, you may have to run a thin bead of caulking around the outside to prevent light leaking. The biggest plus is the glass in the trim really helps with the glare the canned lights emit. Highly recommended!
