By Jason A. email@example.com A Stockbridge man on trial in his daughter's beating death spent much of his time in court Tuesday with his head in his hands as witnesses testified about the girl's injuries. Rodney Michael Reaves, 42, is charged with malice murder, two counts of felony murder, cruelty to children and aggravated battery. Authorities believe he and his wife, Charlott Reaves, caused numerous injuries to 11-year-old Joella Reaves in the final days before the child's death in 2003. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Rodney and Charlott Reaves, who are being tried separately. During Tuesday's proceedings, prosecutors showed a video of statements Rodney Reaves made to Henry County Police after Joella's body was found at the couple's home. In the video, Reaves said his wife was the primary disciplinarian for the child because he was often away on duty at a naval station in Virginia. Rodney Reaves said on the tape Charlott was having trouble controlling Joella because of behavior issues, which included "throwing herself on the ground" and injuring herself. According to Rodney Reaves, Joella's actions led him to attempt, unsuccessfully, to obtain a transfer to Atlanta. "I felt like [Joella] needed her whole family there, not just one parent," Rodney Reaves said. Rodney Reaves was also seen on the video telling detectives Joella never told him about the extent of her injuries. He claimed he had nothing to do with harming the girl, and said Charlott Reaves "had to" have been the person responsible. "I would not harm my daughter that way," he told police. The video shows Rodney Reaves crying as he was being interviewed for more than an hour. Detective Marion Brooks was shown questioning Reaves at the police department, though he did not testify Tuesday. During the interview, Brooks told Reaves, "I think your wife did it, and you didn't stop her. That makes you as guilty as she is." Police Capt. Ken Turner, who also participated in the interview, said Rodney Reaves was "cooperative" and "emotional" as he talked with detectives. The jury also heard several hours of testimony from Dr. Gerald Gowitt, a medical examiner who performed an autopsy on the girl's body. Gowitt testified Joella suffered more than 100 injuries in the days before she died. "I couldn't count them, there were so many," he said. Gowitt said many of the child's wounds were consistent with items found at the Reaves' home. Those items included a wooden spoon and a University of Georgia umbrella, which police said were used to beat the child. Rodney Reaves put his head to the defense team's desk as prosecutors showed photographs of injuries Gowitt found on Joella's head, arms, back, chest and legs. The doctor said the victim's trapezius muscle had been "ripped" off the spine of her shoulder blade, and that other injuries Joella sustained had caused her to develop kidney disease. "Part of the reason Joella is dead, is because of kidney failure," Gowitt said. He used the word "torture" to describe what Joella allegedly endured, drawing an objection from Reaves' defense attorney, Public Defender Gary Bowman. Bowman said no evidence had been given to warrant the use of that term, and moved for a mistrial in the case. Henry County District Attorney Tommy Floyd immediately shot back at Bowman's assertion, telling Judge Wade Crumbley, "Your honor, we've been talking about torture for the last three hours." The judge denied Bowman's request just before adjourning for the day. Rodney Reaves was seen bursting into tears and sobbing as he was led out of the courtroom. The defense is expected to begin cross-examining Gowitt today, as the state continues presenting its case.

NEW DELHI: Reliance Retail continues to be on an acquisition spree. Even as it has launched a mega hunt for retail space through the length and breadth of the country, it is leaving no stone unturned in its quest for acquiring state-owned retail chains - such as Delhi's Super Bazar and Himachal Pradesh's HPMC.
The company has submitted the highest bid for the ailing Super Bazar at Rs 288 crore, well above the Rs 70 crore bid made jointly by the Indian Labour Cooperative Society and Indian Potash Ltd. Included in its proposal to revive the ailing Super Bazar is an investment of Rs 143 crore in revamping the chain and expanding into retailing of pharmaceuticals, fruit and vegetables, online shopping as well as institutional sales.
Reliance also plans to pump in almost a similar amount of money in the share capital and working capital of Super Bazar. During its submission, the company has projected that Super Bazar would achieve an annual revenue of Rs 1,000 crore within the next in two-three years.
Considering that the chain posted an accumulated loss of Rs 56.73 crore in 2001-02 before being shut down, RIL is sure making big plans for reviving Super Bazar
The government has 50 per cent holding in Super Bazar, which has a employee strength of 2,200. Super Bazar falls under the purview of Department of Consumers Affairs and has been under liquidation since 2002. Later, the court intervened on a petition filed by the Employees Union against the regulator's decision to wind up the retail chain.
Employing a similar strategy in Mumbai, RIL has already bought out the Sahakari Bhandar chain; it also eying Kendriya Bhandar outlets in Delhi for a similar arrangement.

Jul 29, 2012I dont understand the negative reviews i dont think people really gave this a chance.In no way is the Action movie like Cobra or Tango and Cash but Stallone is Excellent and is on his game,As is my other fav actor Mickey Rourke.Great story Great movie!
Oct 6, 2013Good turns by Stallone and Rourke are wasted by Tony Kaye's over-stylized direction and poor pacing. Bad films are not near as bothersome as the ones with good source material and a good cast that frankly should have been more than merely watchable.
The result is a throwaway story hidden beneath a messy jumble of weird camera angles, worthless editing tricks and an ill-placed, obnoxious score.
So minimally plotted that not only does it lack subtext or context, but it also may be the world's first movie without even a text.

Lopez leads Nets over Wizards, 117-80
Jason Collins signs with Nets, to become 1st openly gay player in NBA
Jason Collins became the NBA's first active openly gay player Sunday, signing a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets. With a need for another big man, the Nets turned to the 7-foot Collins, who helped them reach two NBA Finals in the early 2000s.
Wizards top Nets 112-108 in OT; Beal scores 29
Nene scored 12 of his 20 points in the final 4½ minutes of the fourth quarter, including a putback with 1.2 seconds to play that sent the game to overtime, and the Wizards topped the Brooklyn Nets 112-108.

Stepping Out
In the fraught process toward acceptance and equality, some members of the LGBTQ community can turn their battle into art, drawing inspiration from adversity or otherness. Out in the Tropics, FUNDarte's annual five-day performance festival dedicated to art of the nonhetero persuasion, has been celebrating these sorts of provocative, insightful, and edu-taining productions since 2010.
Highlights from the 2014 Out in the Tropics fest include a rare Florida performance by the award-winning California troupe Sean Dorsey Dance Company (8:30 p.m. Friday at the Colony Theater), whose modern dance piece "Uncovered" takes its inspiration from a year-and-a-half-long study of the diaries of famous and unknown transgender and queer individuals; and "ToCaBa" (8:30 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday at Miami-Dade County Auditorium), a gender-bending subversion of a classic flamenco trio that is described as "a virtuoso grunge band doing flamenco contact improvisation in a postmodern tablao." We have no idea what that means, but it sounds awesome.
There will also be parties, master classes, and panel discussions, and it all begins at 6 p.m. June 25 with a cocktail party/poetry reading at the recently remodeled Miami Beach Botanical Garden (2000 Convention Center Dr., Miami Beach).

I didn't even know Ricki Lake was back on the air. This was the best Shimmy Walker could do? Dr. Phil didn't have any room for him? You can watch the video below to listen to how Antoine Walker went broke. There were stories of how Walker liked to party with Michael Jordan, but even though he had a lot of money, he didn't have Michael Jordan money. Keeping up with the Joneses is one of the quickest ways to empty your pockets. Understand your worth and what you can and cannot do, so you don't end up on Ricki Lake.

Comparative sequence analysis of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) within vertebrate toll-like receptors

BMC Genomics 2007, 8:124 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-8-124Published: 21 May 2007
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a central role in innate immunity. TLRs are membrane glycoproteins and contain leucine rich repeat (LRR) motif in the ectodomain. TLRs recognize and respond to molecules such as lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, flagellin, and RNA from bacteria or viruses. The LRR domains in TLRs have been inferred to be responsible for molecular recognition. All LRRs include the highly conserved segment, LxxLxLxxNxL, in which "L" is Leu, Ile, Val, or Phe and "N" is Asn, Thr, Ser, or Cys and "x" is any amino acid. There are seven classes of LRRs including "typical" ("T") and "bacterial" ("S"). All known domain structures adopt an arc or horseshoe shape. Vertebrate TLRs form six major families. The repeat numbers of LRRs and their "phasing" in TLRs differ with isoforms and species; they are aligned differently in various databases. We identified and aligned LRRs in TLRs by a new method described here.
The new method utilizes known LRR structures to recognize and align new LRR motifs in TLRs and incorporates multiple sequence alignments and secondary structure predictions. TLRs from thirty-four vertebrate were analyzed. The repeat numbers of the LRRs ranges from 16 to 28. The LRRs found in TLRs frequently consists of LxxLxLxxNxLxxLxxxxF/LxxLxx ("T") and sometimes short motifs including LxxLxLxxNxLxxLPx(x)LPxx ("S"). The TLR7 family (TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9) contain 27 LRRs. The LRRs at the N-terminal part have a super-motif of STT with about 80 residues. The super-repeat is represented by STTSTTSTT or _TTSTTSTT. The LRRs in TLRs form one or two horseshoe domains and are mostly flanked by two cysteine clusters including two or four cysteine residue.
Each of the six major TLR families is characterized by their constituent LRR motifs, their repeat numbers, and their patterns of cysteine clusters. The central parts of the TLR1 and TLR7 families and of TLR4 have more irregular or longer LRR motifs. These central parts are inferred to play a key role in the structure and/or function of their TLRs. Furthermore, the super-repeat in the TLR7 family suggests strongly that "bacterial" and "typical" LRRs evolved from a common precursor.

The death of the local is now being used to politically maintain the rage against the so called US imperialists. By distorting the facts for political reasons I feel the site totally disrespect ...
Mausoleum, orphans and a clam bake
... a good time.
At our hotel we had the option for clams. Behind one of our buildings all the raw clams were lined up, doused in petrol and set alight. When the clams were deemed cooked we circled the clams and got stuck into them washing them down with rice wine. The clams were nice but occasionally you got the taste of petrol. Maybe I needed more rice wine as it took a day to get rid of the taste of petrol, lucky I do not smoke. The clam bake was ...
Checking out the public transport

It was then off to see where Kim Il Sung was born. It was very interesting to see not only this historical place but to see what houses were like at the time. We were keep to path and be respectful of the sacred site, but sure enough someone from another group wanders on to the grass assumable to get a different camera angle, this results in a local caretaker yelling.

Salad wrap
Meat-free sandwiches top up the daily veg intake and taste great too, writes Simon Wilkinson.
The favourite sandwich of a nine-year-old I know particularly well is ham and tomato sauce. On white bread, of course.
If we have wraps, then it's ham and salad (no lettuce, please) and he is also partial to a ham and cheese toastie.
So a sandwich without ham to him is not really a sandwich at all, though some leftover lamb roast or shredded chicken will sometimes pass mustard, ah, muster.
But what about a sandwich with no meat or fish at all?
We eat meat-free dinners quite often, so surely a meat-free sandwich can't be that hard – and might just be a bit healthy.
With that in mind, here are 10 of my favourites that should have something for everyone in the family.
A Ploughman's Lunch is really just a deconstructed sandwich.
The cheese needs to have some serious bite and I'd go for some dark rye or at least a weighty wholemeal.
Pickled onions, gherkins and a chunky chutney such as Branston are all good.
From there, add your favourite salad, including tomato and grated carrot.
Spread a flatbread with hummus, baba ghanoush or – if garlic is a workplace hazard – perhaps tahini.
Top with a row of broken-up felafel, then tabouli, tomato, cucumber and greens.
A squeeze of lemon will add extra zing.
Raid your favourite Italian deli.
Start with slices of roasted capsicum, eggplant and artichoke.
Then add a creamy bocconcini or spread with ricotta to balance the acid and, finally, rocket or basil leaves to freshen it all up.
A big sandwich such as this needs a bread of substance, such as a ciabatta.
Slices from a perfect, ripe avocado need little more than good bread, seasoning and maybe a squeeze of lemon or lime (grate a little rind over the top if you want to be flash). A lesser avocado might be best mashed and turned into guacamole that can be toasted in a tortilla with a little grated cheese and kidney beans.
Roughly mash or slice chunks of roasted pumpkin or sweet potato.
Add pumpkin seeds for crunch, or peanut butter – which feels vaguely Caribbean – plus salad.
I'm a purist here. If you can still find ripe, fragrant tomatoes, they need nothing more than good quality white bread, butter (not margarine), salt and pepper. Toast the bread if it isn't fresh.
Clear out the crisper and get to work. Start with a slice of cheese or a smear of avocado, hummus or cream cheese.
Then add a selection from the following: tomato, grated carrot, grated beetroot, cucumber, capsicum, radish, alfalfa, rocket and any type of lettuce leaf. Open wide.
Hard boil eggs but not until the yolk is pale and powdery.
Mash and bind the eggs with mayonnaise.
Serve in a wholemeal sandwich with lettuce or, even better, peppery cress. Snipped chives are also a great, zesty addition.
Add your favourite curry paste, plush dashes of tomato and Worcestershire sauce, to the egg mix above.
Cool it down with slices of cucumber, if you feel the need.
The tang of goat's curd is a match made in heaven for slices of roasted beetroot.
Add toasted walnuts for extra crunch and healthy baby spinanch leaves.

Ukraine is considering calls for SpongeBob and other 'gay' children's TV characters to be banned.
The Eastern European country's National Expert Commission for Protecting Public Morality is considering a report published on Catholic website 'Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin' that claims that the popular children's TV show promotoes homosexuality and is damaging to children.
The report states that the show, along with a number of other popular international children's cartoons and live action programs are 'a large-scale experiment on Ukrainian children' to 'create criminals and perverts,' and should be banned.
It is not yet clear when the Commission will meet to discuss the report.
The report also criticises the British TV show Teletubbies.
It claims that the show creates, 'an imbecile who will sit near the screen with an open mouth and swallow any information' and slams Tinky Winky for holding a woman's red handbag.
'In real life, boys very rarely want to put on girls' clothes,' the report claims.
The Ukraine's censors have in the past banned Sacha Baron Cohen's film Bruno, and unsuccessfully tried to prevent The Simpsons from being broadcast.

Altvater: Gift ideas for golfaholicsWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
Toledo has a bag full of gifts for your favorite golfaholic at Christmas.
Golfers are some of the easiest people on your Christmas gift list to buy for. Every golfaholic is constantly searching for that one thing to take five strokes off his game or find an extra 10 yards off the tee.
There are many articles published about the perfect golf gift, but here is a slightly different approach to finding that perfect gift to your favorite golfaholic and support the local economy as well.
Visit any of these golf businesses around Toledo that are guaranteed to have something to please any golfer and keep you at the top of the best gift givers of all time list.
Jeff Manore at ProGolf Fairways is one of the most experienced golf professionals in the area and when he can't be outside at Maple Grove Golf Course, he brings his students and golf business inside to his simulators on Monroe Street across from the Franklin Park Mall.
He is adjacent to Nick & Jimmy's so golfers on his three simulators can enjoy some of the best food and refreshments in town, while playing the premier golf courses from around the world and never leave town. He also provides custom fitting, club repair and golf lesson packages for gift giving.
The Golf PIT, in Maumee, offers golfers a fully stocked pro shop with every gadget, club, range finder and golf apparel to satisfy any golfer. David Graf and his staff can provide a custom fit set of clubs or offer a golf glove or sleeve of golf balls as stocking stuffers.
They also have two indoor golf simulators to keep a golf game sharp, even when the snow piles up outside. Memberships to the driving range, par-3 course and simulators are available.
GolfTEC, located on Monroe Street just west of the Franklin Park Mall, is one of the newer golf businesses in town. It offers the latest technology combined with PGA Professionals to get to the bottom of any golfer's malady. Swing speed, launch angle, spin rate and ball speed may be difficult to understand for the average golfer, but GolfTEC's trained professionals will keep it simple and comprehensive.
Fallen Timbers Fairways, in Waterville, added four new virtual golf simulators to their clubhouse. Season memberships for the challenging Fallen Timbers golf course or gift certificates to use inside over the winter months make perfect gifts.
Bedford Hills Golf Club is located near the Michigan/Ohio line and offers 27 holes of golf for those enjoyable summer days on the links. They have also added virtual golf simulators inside their clubhouse and have leagues for groups to continue their golf throughout the long, cold winter months.
The Traditions Golf Pass gives golfers access to four of the most historic courses in the Toledo area. For one price your favorite golfer can enjoy South Toledo Golf Club, Detwiler Park, Collins Park and historic Ottawa Park golf courses.
Greg Fish and his crew will be happy to help you with a Traditions Golf Pass for your golfer to enjoy all summer long.
Toledo has become a virtual winter golf mecca. In addition to Fallen Timbers, Bedford Hills, The Golf PIT and ProGolf Fairways, Golf Simulator passes can be purchased at Fore Golfers on Airport Highway and Blue Skies Forever in Point Place
Every golfer wants to improve his game and a Golf Lesson package from Fred at ToledoOhioGolfLessons.com will raise the enjoyment level for any golfer.
Stone Ridge Golf Club, in Bowling Green, is an Arthur Hills' design and one of the most enjoyable golf courses in the Greater Toledo area to play. The clubhouse offers an excellent menu and is a good place to host a meeting, outing, or party.

'Doubleheader' funeral service held for NY couple
Thursday - 2/21/2013, 3:10pm EST
CAMBRIDGE, N.Y. (AP) -- Norman Hendrickson was known for telling jokes and never wasting money. So when he died suddenly while en route to his wife's funeral, the couple's daughters knew there was only one thing to do: Hold a doubleheader service.
The 94-year-old World War II veteran's impromptu wake was held Saturday at the same eastern New York funeral home where his wife Gwen's funeral was already scheduled. She was 89 when she died on Feb. 8. After Norman died just steps from the funeral home, the daughters decided their parents would be mourned together at the same time.
The daughters said it was a fitting way to say goodbye to a couple who had been together since meeting in Europe during World War II and who had been married for nearly 66 years.
"After we had a little time to process the shock and horror, we felt we couldn't have written a more perfect script," Norma Howland told the Post-Star of Glens Falls (http://bit.ly/VL01Jx ). "My sister said the only thing he didn't do was fall into the casket."
Norman, a former assistant postmaster in Cambridge, 35 miles northeast of Albany, was being driven in a limousine to the Ackley and Ross Funeral Home for his wife's service when he stopped breathing. After the limo pulled up, funeral director Jim Gariepy, who is also the local coroner, and funeral home owner Elizabeth Nichols-Ross helped move Norman to the sidewalk outside the business.
Gariepy began CPR while Nichols-Ross and one Norman's sons-in-law raced across town to retrieve his do-not-resuscitate orders from the Hendricksons' refrigerator door. Once the orders were in hand, an emergency crew that had arrived ceased attempts to revive Norman. He died on the sidewalk.
Nichols-Ross said daughter Merrilyne Hendrickson then requested that her father's body be put into a casket and placed in the viewing room with her mother's cremated remains, which had been placed in an urn. Mourners who started arriving soon after for Gwen's funeral were greeted by a note Merrilyne posted at the entrance: "Surprise -- It's a double header -- Gwen and Norman Hendrickson -- Feb. 16, 2013."
Nichols-Ross said she didn't charge the family for Norman's wake. On his prayer card, she jokingly wrote that Hendrickson got the idea to die in the limo headed to the funeral so he could get "a buy-one-get-one-free deal."
"If it had happened with somebody else like this it would have been sad, but with Norm it wasn't," Nichols-Ross said. "It was just so much like Norm."
Norman was overseas with the U.S. Army when he met Gwen, who was serving in the British Royal Air Force. She immigrated to the U.S. and they were married in May 1947.
Howland said her parents had jokingly promised to never leave one spouse behind. After her mother died, Howland said she overheard her father say aloud, "We have had a good long life together. I love you. I'll miss you and watch for me."

Aztecs look to keep it simple in opener
There's a reason most poker games are played with the cards face down. Good players can go hours raking pots without ever having to reveal their hand.
The San Diego State Aztecs should not have to show all of their cards against the first team of the 2010 season, Nicholls State, which travels to Qualcomm Stadium for a 5 p.m. kickoff Saturday.
Unlike today's game, where the Aztecs can probably slow-play their hand to victory -- there are tougher games on the horizon in which offensive coordinator Al Borges will be forced to dig into his bag of tricks. This is not -- should not -- be one of those games.
"I wouldn't do that in the first game no matter who we were playing," Borges said. "You never want to show everything you've got in the first game of the year. We're basically going to run what we've practiced and we'll do that every week."
In other words, keep it simple.
"I think we'll do some things to mix it up, but as an offense, we're going to do what we do well and we'll do it until someone stops us," said quarterback Ryan Lindley.
Therein lies the dilemma, because Lindley could chuck the ball around 50 times to standout receivers Vincent Brown and DeMarco Sampson and probably put up some pretty good numbers. But the Aztecs don't' want to be that kind of team anymore.
They want balance. They want to grind. They want to bang.
Three game day questions
Each Saturday, beat writer Kevin Gemmell will pose three questions pertinent to the game of the day. Look for the answers on Sunday.
Can the Aztecs start fast?
Last year SDSU averaged just 16.8 yards on its opening drive.
Can the Aztecs run the ball?
Last year SDSU averaged just 78.3 yards per game.
Can the Aztecs control the clock?
Last year SDSU ranked 108th in time of possession with an average of 27:47 minutes per game.
"After every game, we want the other team to be sore, tired and they're not going to want to play us again," said defensive end Earnie Lawson.
The strength of Nicholls State lies in its defensive line and the Aztecs are eager to try out their allegedly-upgraded rushing attack -- which has been among the nation's worst the last few years -- and new running back Ronnie Hillman, who is talented but untested.
The Aztecs would much rather string together four or five 12-play, 80-yard drives that suck up six minutes of clock as opposed to three-play, 80-yard drives that take 35 seconds. But can they?
"The biggest thing with us at this point is execution," Borges said. "We don't want to confuse the kids. We had a lot of that last year, which is natural because it's new. This year, we should have a lot less of that."
However head coach Brady Hoke said he doesn't mind if the Aztecs show their entire playbook in the first week if that means getting a win.

5. Tennessee Kid dancer Dana Wilson totally wants to make babies with me.
As his collaboration with Drake "Cabaret" staccatoed my hips left and right, I felt a body behind me. At this point I was ripe for the taking and had no qualms with the fingers teasing up my legs, so I played along. Who is this mystery dancer and where have you been all my life? The warm body triple twists around my groove in front of me, and I'm staring straight into the cat-eyed glory of Dana Wilson, Justin's front-and-center backup dancer. She tugged on my twisting toes with a look in her eyes that was thankfully captured via my Google Glass.
4. I might be a little bisexual.
See above comments.
3. Bros in suits love Justin Timberlake.
3. The Tennessee Kids chat up the audience during the show.
Trumpet player Sean Erick (@SeanEtheTrumpet) was leaning on the stage while JT finished "What Goes Around Comes Around." I asked him, "Hey — you tired yet?" He looked at me like I either had three heads or was wearing Google Glass and said "Oh, hellll no." That's the spirit, boi.
2. JT fans and band members love Google Glass, security personnel do not.
I thought I'd never see another Glass wearer (A.K.A. Glasshole) at a Justin Timberlake show. That I would be the one to show Justin how to love a Glasshole the way they should be loved. But alas, as if enough surprises had not whiplashed my heart into a lovestoned frenzy, I spotted a girl wearing Google Glass alongside me. I decided to forgive her as she was also interested in taking back the night with me. The security guard who told me to take off my "Google Goggles" when the show started, however, clearly was not in on our Glasshole club. It's a shame, because we really turned it into a club.
1. Justin cut out a number of songs at his New York show, but made up for it.
If this is your 20th Justin Timberlake show, you know the set list by your beating heart. Though we missed "Strawberry Bubblegum" and "True Blood," I commend JT for his ability to seamlessly perform despite the last minute changes. It's like someone asking you to perfectly recite the alphabet but to leave out J, F, P, X, M and T. Oh, and don't f-ck it up, almost 20k people are listening, K?
But he made up for it with a haunting rendition of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" that made me wonder for the first time, could this Bostonian girl find a pinstriped player like Derek Jeter to be a real man? But my hometown pride kicked in, Fah Q, Rosalia! Stick to the Tom Ford suits and that dirty water. But move to New York when JT decides he needs a new member of his social media team. *WINK WINK*
Rosalia is a rapper, writer, tech marketer and advocate for the cyborg revolution who believes in the gift of live music as a remedy for both medicine and religion. Follow her on Twitter, Instagram, or check out her YouTube page for more Justin Timberlake viddies and goodies.

Jackson County GOP Convention on Friday March 16 at the Jackson County Senior Center. Registered Jackson County voters, seated by precincts, first elected delegates to the District and State Conventions before hearing addresses from Wayne King, Vice Chair of the N.C. State GOP, who also introduced the keynote speaker, South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson.
Wilson, a retired U.S. Air Force Officer and presently the Chairman of the Congressional Armed Services Committee, received a standing ovation after his speech where he reviewed the accomplishments of the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. During the address he also warned about claims that the size of government workers is being reduced by over 100,000. "That sounds good doesn't it" commented the Congressman, "until you learn that most of the reductions are in the military." The Army is being reduced by 80,000 and the Navy, Marines and Air Force by another 30,000 or more.

With hopes to reduce mass amounts of pollution, President Obama has begun forming a list of ideas to condense the amount of carbon dioxide entering earth's atmosphere. He plans to act quickly as such a process could take years to accomplish. The New York Times reports:
The administration has already begun steps to restrict climate-altering emissions from any newly built power plants, but imposing carbon standards on the existing utility fleet would be vastly more costly and contentious.

LEAGUE CITY, Texas -- Outside a brand new house in a brand new subdivision in League City, a small crowd broke out in applause as a young man rolled his wheelchair up the driveway.
Chris Sullivan smiled and didn't say much as he positioned himself between a podium and an American flag, right in front of a couple of NFL cheerleaders. His mother, his wife and his three-year-old son sat in folding chairs as a succession of speakers voiced their gratitude.
We just want to thank Chris for your service, said Murphy Yates of Harbour Classic Builders, the homebuilder who led the construction project. And we hope you like your new home.
With that, someone handed Sullivan's mother the biggest Christmas gift of his life: The keys to a four-bedroom, three-bath house worth an estimated $275,000, complete with a huge shower large enough to accommodate his wheelchair and a closet big enough to host a small party. The event fulfilled a promise made at a Houston Texans game a year ago, when a stadium packed with roaring football fans cheered the news that the quadriplegic young veteran would receive a new home in League City.
We have witnessed many ceremonies like this one in which wounded warriors arrive at newly-built homes , but none of those soldier stories has ever been quite like Chris Sullivan's. This young man served his country, returned home safely, and then fell victim to gunfire in his homeland.
Things happen for a reason, Sullivan now says.
Sullivan served in Kandahar with the U.S. Army's 101st Infantry Division in 2010 when he was wounded during a suicide bombing attack. He suffered a cracked collar bone and brain damage, but he survived and returned to recuperate in Kentucky where he was stationed. He planned to finish his military service and got to college.
Two years ago, he traveled to his home in California on leave. During a homecoming party on Christmas Eve, a fight broke out between a couple of people at the party -- police described it as a squabble over football -- and Sullivan intervened to protect his brother. A guest pulled a pistol and opened fire, shooting Sullivan twice and severing his spine.
It's the hardest thing I think a mother would have to do -- during Christmastime, said his mother, Suzanne Sullivan.
For the last two years, his family has focused on caring for the warrior wounded in his home country. They moved to the Houston area so he could undergo treatment at Houston's Veterans Administration hospital.
Operation Finally Home, a locally-based group that helps wounded soldiers, organized the effort to build the family a home in League City. The effort culminated with the ceremony outside the new house on Wednesday morning.
And I couldn't think of a better time to do it, said Daniel Vargas, the group's executive director. This happened to him on Christmas Eve. And to be able to put him in his home and to be able to celebrate Christmas here after everything that's gone on, is a miracle.
Sullivan rolled his wheelchair around the new house, trailed by cameras and volunteers, admiring the home's features -- especially the bathroom. And he vowed to hang a huge television on the wall in the bedroom.
This is awesome, he said.
His mother wept, but Sullivan didn't. He spoke quietly, laughed easily and seemed genuinely beyond self-pity.
I cried here and there, he said. I've been in pain, but you can't be in that forever. I mean, there's no point of it. It's not going to get you anywhere.

She may not be a household name, but Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Jessica Gomes is topless in the October issue of GQ Italy, and I think that means you'll be hearing a lot more about her – at least here on Egotastic!, anyway. If you're wondering just where Jessica got her exotic looks, the Australian-born model is of Portuguese and Singaporean-Chinese descent, making her a delicious smoothie of ethnic diversity. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I think it means she's super hot. If you don't believe me, just take a look at these Jessica Gomes topless pictures.

Irish contributions to the origins of antibiotics

Pasteur commented that if we could intervene in the antagonism observed between some bacteria, it would offer 'perhaps the greatest hopes for therapeutics.' Some Irish scientists were crucially involved in the eventual realization of these hopes.
The earliest of these was John Tyndall, whose 1881 book, 'Floating matter in the air in relation to putrefaction and infection,' brought about general acceptance of Pasteur's germ theory. Sir Almroth Wright, a TCD graduate, who discovered the first vaccine against typhoid fever, recruited Alexander Fleming to the London hospital where he discovered penicillin.
Sequence of events
This happened when Fleming was replicating an experiment originally carried out by Bigger, Boland and O'Meara in TCD. One of Fleming's cultures was accidentally contaminated by a mould containing penicillin which came from the collection of Charles La Touche, an Irish mycologist who was researching whether cobwebs caused asthma in the same hospital, and who later taught in UCD.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 328 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan2960 Everything was Great! We stayed just one night. This place was super great. We didn't use the food services but everything else was superior! Would stay here again. June 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by kmat Not in keeping with Sheraton standards Due to its location I understand why this hotel may not be the same quality as other Sheraton hotels I have stayed in. But that does not pardon poor customer service. When i returned from work I found my room had not been cleaned. So I called guest services who did not pick up the phone. So I walked down to guest services and was told they were very busy. I told them I would be leaving for dinner in an hour so they could have my room cleaned. An hour later I reminded them. When i returned after dinner two hours later the room had still not been cleaned. when the gentleman from housekeeping finally arrived I was asked if I wanted the whole room cleaned!!!. The rundown condition of the hotel may be overlooked with good customer service. June 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Iowan14 Noisy, understaffed This facility, while conveniently located, is noisy and understaffed, at least during my recent stay. Food and drink service in the grill was unsatisfactorily slow. June 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by polkcityparty convenient location Hotel room was very comfortable. glad that I upgraded the room for the extra space. easy access to I-35 for travelling in the area. requested early check-in, which was available. May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by teddy12 review everything was great except the mattresses were very hard and we only had 3 towels in our room not 4. May 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Heather0731 This hotel needs to focus on guests The room was ok, but had a hard time staying cool. We ran out of tissues and toilet paper. Since we were staying 2 nights. I assumed it would be replenished during cleaning. It wasn't. The public restrooms in the hotel weren't any better. Pool is small. Front desk acted like we were inconveniencing them with a request. Hotel is very loud because of the design. Two elevators are not enough for 10 floors of rooms. May 26, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dusty123 Terrible experience Poorly run and changes without customer notice May 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NoMer Just misses a few things The property was clearly constructed for a different hotel group so the experience doesn't feel quite "SPG" though they've probably done what is possible given the structure. The suite rooms are nice but the work space is poorly lit. May 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BTraveler321 Average Property Room had a somewhat musty smell. The mattress is not overly comfortable. Overall this property is on the tired side. I had to ask the check in clerk if my Starwoods number was on the reservation. May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeffjewell Great place My wife and I were the parents of the groom and hosted the reception at the Sheraton. This place was awesome. Everything rated an excellent from us. I would recommend this to our friends. Thank you for all the great times. May 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TahoeTim This hotel met my needs I thought the hotel and room were dated, but overall, it met my needs. The toilet made a god awful noise when filling up after being flushed. The food in the restaurant was great. The staff was super. The fitness room had everything I needed. May 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Johnskids good, except... I had called ahead to reserve adjoining rooms and was told to call back the day of check in. I did that and was told they were all taken. When we checked in we found out that our two rooms had a room between us. Fine expect it was adjoining to one of our reserved rooms! I called down and was able to have it changed so that we'd have the side-by-side rooms. Also, at check in we guaranteed our rooms with a credit card, but wanted to pay cash and told them so. They charged our rooms to the CC anyway which was a huge inconvenience to us. How ever the rooms are clean and well-kept and quiet. May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cap14 Great Conference Facility Enjoyed a conference at this hotel. It is also very conveniently next to some great shopping in West Des Moines. The conference rooms and food were great. May 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Businessguest42 Hotel needs serious updating This Sheraton has seen better days. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by the smell of chlorine from the fountain in the lobby. The hotel is very damp, and the carpets on the room floor lobbies are bunched and stained. Both my towels and sheets had old stains on them that clearly could not be removed, despite the strong scent of bleach used. Mattress is old fashioned and hard. The only reason that I stay here is b/c it is the only hotel in the area approved by my company. May 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by FrontierAccountant Prefer Different Bedding Like many hotels today, this Sheraton uses quilts on the beds. These quilts are far more covering than I need, yet a sheet alone is not enough. Thus, I end up either too hot or too cold with the bedding provided and have trouble getting to sleep either way. Many hotels provide a blanket in the closet as an alternative. None was available at this hotel, even from the front desk. I would like a lighter bed covering to be available. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LLHTR When in Des Moines we always stat at the Sheraton Prior to our arrival, Nancy Leo always has all our needs addressed. Upon arrival our keys have been prepped and our rooms are ready. An outstanding facility with a business area that meets all needs and a workout complex that is excellent. The breakfast buffet meets anyone's dietary needs. The overall location is excellent with many restaurant choices within walking distance. When in Des Moines we always stay at the Sheraton. April 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HappyTraveler22 Clean, up to date, solid lodging I stayed at this hotel for a business conference. They were able to negotiate a great overnight rate. The event planners also paid for continental breakfast, break snacks and beverages, and lunches. I have to assume the breakfast and lunch were economy packages because they were pretty sparse. The beverage service was great. The rec room was well maintained, though one treadmill was not working. My stay was pleasant, comfortable bed and pillows and the meeting rooms were comfortable. I felt safe and confident staying here. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sleeve28 Convenient and spacious Easy to find, close to lots of other amenities. Interior features landscaped atrium. Nicely maintained. April 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fan2001 Breakfast Buffet I went to the restaurat and the only employee was working the omelet station. I seated my self. A waitress came out from the back. She came to the table in about 10 minutes. She asked did I seat myself and I said yes. The entrance that I used was direclty off the elevator and was not marked "do not enter or go to Hostess Stand". She then said "That's the best way to be ignored". She walked away from the table and I left. April 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by nicki1234 very poor amenities For a very high price there are very few basic amenities. No internet available in rooms unless you pay, extremely long wait to get elevator because they only have 2-with 10 floors this is a problem, no fridge OR microwave in room, only double beds, no hot tub, and finally not even a cup of coffee available anywhere in the lobby. We have stayed in dozens of hotels in the last 2 years and this is by far the most limited in amenities for the price. April 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave2468 Friendly Staff The staff are very helpful and friendly. Great customer service. Lots of value for your business travel dollar. April 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jetjock WDM Sheraton Great location for a great hotel. April 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rancher The only Starwood property in the area So there really is not much choice if one wants to stay at a Starwood property in Central Iowa. That said, this basic 1980's or 1990's hotel is not bad. The front desk staff is friendly and competent. The lounge was radically understaffed and grossly overcrowded. The suite I was upgraded to had neither a refrigerator nor microwave. As a platinum, I was given the best suite in the house without asking....an increasing rarity among Starwood properties. Everything worked! The place is spotless. April 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joey2298 Meeting We stayed here due to a meeting we had in your hotel, our lunch was terrible, we had a very dry chicken sandwich on very hard bread. Could of easly been improved with condiments on tables. You also need a hot tub. April 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by VikH Great Location for Car Buying Room HVAC was little noisy, Noise late night in hallways. Breakfast too fattening. Staff reasonably attentive. Overall, pretty good hotel. Better for large business. April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brian16 Great stay for family or convention This is the second time I have stayed at the Sheraton West Des Moines and it is a great place to stay from rooms to staff. They are very responsive to your needs and help in any way possible. I have been so satisfied I do not even look around for another hotel. It is located close to dining, shopping, and easily accessible to the interstate. March 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gale10 This hotel was a great value. We stay in Des Moines about every other month and this was the first time at The Sheraton. We called only a two days before and we got a fabulous rate and felt overall it was a great experience at a great price. March 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PHans1456 Upgrade failure! I travel a bit for business and have come to have some knowledge in the ammenities afforded most travelers. My wife booked a weekend get away for the family and was excited to inform me that she had recieved an opportunity to upgrade to a Suite from our King room. I was disappointed and surprised to learn that with Sheraton, a Suite definition meant that our King room had a fridge and micro-wave. Items that in my travels are standard in comparable rooms. Staff did adjust us to a proper Suite with seperated lounge and sleep areas. Staff was courterous and made the adjustment promptly, but as a guest to a Sheraton property I should not have been the one to initiate this upgrade. This leads me to believe that Sheraton and Starwood Hotels employ and encourage bait and switch sales tactics amoung staff at booking in the hopes that they can absorb a higher fee from an unsuspected traveler. After this experience I would not recommend Sheraton for other than a business trip where this is my only option, and have expresed to my wife and our extended family that for future such weekend or overnight get aways they seek out other family oriented accomidations. Truely dissappointed and did not live up to the standards of cutomer service I expected from a Sheraton. March 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Upset357 Horrible experience Had problems checking in and checking out even though reservations had been made 2 months prior to arrival. Front desk personnel appeared they did not know what they were doing and the manager was unhelpful and unwilling to provide good customer service. The hotel was very noisy and it was difficult to get any sleep. Finally, there was a conference meeting at hotel and it only has two elevators to transport people up to the room floors. They were constant tied up and it was not unusual to wait 10 minutes or longer to get on one. Thank goodness I was only on the fourth floor and was able to walk up and down the stairs located on the other side of the hotel from the elevators. I do not plan on ever staying at this Sheraton again. March 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wendy667 Very comfortable bed/pillows The beds and pillows are the most comfortable. We continue to stay at Sheraton's for that primary reason. March 24, 2014

Kirchner's picture, although long a textbook sampler of German Expressionism, was recently restituted to its preWorld War II owners and subsequently purchased by Ronald Lauder for the Neue Galerie. This show celebrates its arrival, bringing together similarly debauched urban imagery by Kirchner's Berlin contemporaries. But while Street Scene is the showpiece, others outstrip it in decadence. George Grosz's drawings are particularly arresting: Some are carved up by slanting light that reveals bare bottoms and clandestine meetings; one shows a sailor, packing a pistol and knuckle-duster, literally digging for gold on the edge of town. If the streets are bad enough, the scene indoors is worse: Among several images of downcast nudes are Christian Schad's Two Girls (1928), which features a pair of women reclining, sad-faced and semi-naked, as they pleasure themselves in this astonishingly frank depiction.
The exhibition is brief, but more memorably chilling for it, and well rounded out by portraits. Some are of fellow artists, like the poet John Förste, a man with a glass eye who sits reading in Grosz's 1926 likeness, the dud eye comically wide as if his book were deliciously scandalous. Others show patrons: Otto Dix's Portrait of the Lawyer Dr. Fritz Glaser, from 1921, depicts a corpse of a man, whey-faced before a nightscape of gothic, snow-capped turrets. It's a strange way to keep a patron, but maybe it's simply an honest portrayaljudging by all the other characters staring mournfully from the walls in this exhibition, it seems there wasn't a single happy soul in Weimar Berlin.
