Phoenix Suns
Suns' Babby: Losing is painful, but no rash decisions will be made
With the NBA season nearly 50 percent complete, one thing is certain when it comes to the Phoenix Suns: they're not very good.
The Suns entered play Wednesday with a 12-24 record to go along with a three-game losing streak. They've lost nine of their last 10 games.
Yet, when Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby looks at where the team is, he says things are moving along pretty much as scheduled.
"What we've tried to do and the way I would try to describe it and the way we talk about it a lot in our office is we want our soil to be fertile," he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday with regards to the Suns having a bevy of quality players but a lack of a true star. "And we want to have all the pieces in play so that when we get the kind of player that we all know we need, all of the culture, all of the soil has been cultivated so we can sprout and grow quickly."
As Babby admitted, though, how the Suns will acquire that star player remains a question mark.
"Do you get that player in the draft, do you get that player in a trade, or do you develop that player," he asked.
The Suns possibly being so close, yet, so far from being good is not easy for Babby to stomach. His team is rapidly digging a hole that will be difficult climb out of, and while the Suns have been in the NBA's draft lottery each of the last two years, this is by far the worst they've been in his tenure.
Babby said he "hates" that the team is doing so poorly, but added he cannot get "caught up in the moment" and make a move that may benefit the team now but not in the future.
"You can't get caught up in the moment; we're not going to be in the business of quick fixes to try and win a few more games in the short run that makes no sense in terms of the best interests, long term, of the franchise," he said. "So we're disappointed -- profoundly disappointed -- that we're not playing better, we're not winning more games, but in some sense the plan is intact and we're moving forward."
So, in other words, don't expect the Suns to make a move solely because of the recent struggles.
"You can't operate out of panic or, as painful as it is for us, for Alvin, for our players, to be in the throes of this kind of situation, you can't exacerbate it by making rash decisions that are going to feel good in the short run and not be good in the long run," he said. "If I'm not doing that then I don't belong in the job."
Babby said his job is to make sure the franchise stays focused on long-term success and does not do anything that may damage those prospects.

Rox: Leah Williams beyond gifted and talentedWritten by Martini Rox | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It is rare to meet an accomplished musician, composer, producer, songwriter, poet and singer all in one person. It is very rare for that person to be a woman and Leah Williams is every woman when it comes to music. Not only is she the woman singing in the opening intro of my radio program "Night Moves," she has written, produced and performed her entire album titled, "Run On."
A Toledo native and a proud graduate of Toledo Public Schools, she is a perfect example of the importance of the band program. Leah was raised in a home filled with all genres of music, allowing her to develop a diverse ear for music and composition. Her extraordinary talent in flute instrumentation led her to receive the coveted Art Tatum Scholarship at the University of Toledo where she started composing classical music and writing poetry.
While working with a professor at UT she twice won the prestigious Craig's Keyboards/The University of Toledo's Young Composers Competition. She continued her musical studies in North Carolina, Bowling Green, and Chicago. Leah's commitment to growing and developing musically has provided her the opportunity to write orchestra compositions from Toledo to the UK. Ironically, singing was later added to her musical repertoire after a friend encouraged her to join the University's gospel choir, while she was attending graduate school at Bowling Green State University.
Leah's voice is reminiscent of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. Her production is a mix of classical and jazz influenced soulful R&B on an album that is smooth enough to play all day. Two weeks ago she had her CD release party for, "Run On" and it was filled with family, friends and fans. Once I received my autographed copy I promptly informed her that we needed to talk.
Martini Rox: What motivated you to professionally pursue writing and composition?
Leah Williams: My composition professor that I studied with when I lived in Chicago told me that all writing is good writing. She really encouraged me in (my) production of tracks and in song-writing and my classical compositions. She is the catalyst — her name is Patricia Moorehead — for propelling me into this phase of expression as a musician.
Martini Rox: You have many other talents as a musician. What made you decide to add production?
Leah Williams: When I got my Mac (Apple), I always used it for my classical composition, then I started fooling around with Garage Band. I would come home from a stressful day and at that time I was working with Dr. Morehead in Chicago so if I wasn't working on my classical stuff I would kind of fool around with the program and pretty soon I started building these tracks and the next thing I know I'd have 10 tracks, 15 tracks. … I started building this library and kind of learned the program more and messing around, pushing the envelope seeing what I could do.
Martini Rox: As a female, was there pressures or expectations in the music industry you had to deal with while making the transition from classical composer to jazz/R&B artist?
Leah Williams: I think there is very much so a pressure in the music, business and just in life period for women to fit in a certain mold and I guess I have always been outside of the mold. I've learned to embrace my uniqueness as a woman and my uniqueness as a musician and a composer. That, I think it is a challenge because it is sometimes a battle between, "Do I kind of go the commercial route, what's expected of women even though (it's) that kind of, I hate to say it, but you know, overtly sexual music? Or do I just go with what's in my heart?" I think my development as a women has been directly related to my music.
To listen to or purchase Leah Williams' new album "Run On" visit: iTunes, CD Baby, Reverbnation, Sound Cloud or Amazon MP3.
As we continue on…

Carb Cycling, is it worth it?
I've been consistently losing about a pound a week just by decreasing my diet. Now, I heard the expression if it aint broke don't fix it but I was very interested in doing carb cycling and was wondering about the results. Does a low carb diet really matter when dieting anyway?
I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer
It is the little death that leads to total obliteration
I will accept my fear, permit it to flow over me and through me
In the end there will only be me
I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer
I bet you already naturally carb cycle.
Do you have a PWO shake with sugar in it on off days? Most likely not, that is a form of carb cycling, i.e. 200 carbs on off day, 200 + 50 in shake = 250 g on training day.
Or, ever take in more carbs for a grueling session and less for shorter session? Again, carb cycling.
Don't make it more complex than it has to be. I like the idea of "eat for what you do"
Naturally, if you are not doing much, carbs will be lower, if you are highly active they will be higher.
James 1:16-17 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights
With God's help...Mens sana in corpore sano
i was just about to type the same.. EVERYONE carb cycles.. literally. unless you dont have Pre/intra or postworkout shakes ever...you must be carb cycling
I agree with all. Don't make it more complicated than it has to be.
A diet does not have to be a low carb diet per se. But just realize that calories count. So as a result of reducing calories, carbs will naturally be lower while cutting.
Now some will purposefully do a low-no carb diet that is typically higher in fat. But I would argue that doing so isn't ideal or necessary. Carbs don't have to be so low. And the calories from the fat adds up quick. Such diets can be a life saver for obese people who wouldn't have a clue how to lose the weight otherwise. But they aren't practical for the long term, and without the practicality for the long term you aren't going to have a plan that will get you as lean as possible.
Speaking of practicality for the long term, that's actually why I like how intermittent fasting (IF) works. Because it works so well at reducing calories, you end up with a little bit more wiggle room to eat what you want. And a diet plan that can be more flexible is also a diet plan that will be more likely to work in the long run.
One more thing I'd like to add about carbs is that you can continue to lose weight with more carbs so long as calories are reduced. As an example, one year I was doing somewhat of a low carb diet and my weight loss stalled. A good friend of mine (personal trainer) gave recommendations for a low fat approach and to get carbs mainly from starches such as oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and brown rice. I tried it and was eating more carbs than before, and I still lost a lot of weight because the calories were reduced.
Many will argue for the low carb diet approach because they think that weight loss won't happen as well if carbs are too high. There is some truth to that and studies support it. However, if you get your carbs from the right sources there won't be a problem. Because they fill you up before you can eat too much.
So your diet should be lower in carbs when compared to that of a typical american who drinks soda, fruit juice, and sweet tea. But atkins diet low simply isn't necessary.
I tried a CKD (Cyclical Ketogenic Diet) diet a few months back. I'd had success with an Atkins diet some years before.
I hated it the CKD.
I would go low-carb during the week, and carb up on the weekend.
By Friday, my energy levels were zero. I couldn't wait for Saturday. The main reason I quit this diet was that I noticed was that my insides would stack up, and the weekend carbs would bring relief on the porcelain throne. This odd processing convinced me to stop. The diet didn't feel healthy, and to make my carb counts I had to eat carb-free foods--many of which I didn't care to eat. Put'em together and it was an unsustainable diet.
I'm on a more sensible diet now. I count everything during the week, and eat freely yet sensibly on the weekends. My target is 2100 calories, 190-200g of protein, 10% fat, and 220 to 240g of carbs. The results show a greater fat loss than weight. Since ending the CKD, I've lost 3 pounds and 1.5 inches off the waist. I'm pleased with the results, and I can continue this diet because I look forward to the foods I eat, and they come frequently enough to keep hunger away.
The only drawback is I create quite a few dirty dishes, but feel great.

Hello to all,
I am doing research for a novel I'm writing. It's a story about a mother who travels to Alaska to be with her estranged daughter who is hospitalized with PE.
Just FYI, I'm a member of the forum from a few years ago, when I had PE for the 3rd time. I'd been on strict bedrest (with 4 kids and a deployed husband) for 3 months when my symptoms REALLY kicked in. My doctor was very nice, but frankly wasn't all that concerned. I *knew* something was wrong - I'm sure you all know that gut feeling I'm talking about. I really believe this forum saved my life, because the people here gave me the courage to really insist on being seen. I literally had to break down in tears before my doc would repeat the blood tests. She sent me home but called a few hours later and told me (lo and behold) that yes, I had gotten much worse. I ended up with HELLP as well, and when I got to the hospital in the morning to be delivered at exactly 36 weeks, my BP was ridiculous, the blood tests were administered again and my doc walked into my room yelling for the nurses to get me on the (dreaded) mag sulfate and into the operating room NOW. I was very fortunate - my sweet boy is 5 years old now and had very few medical problems. I have some residual liver/kidney issues and it looks like I'll be on a dieuretic for the duration. I have a lot of "female" problems too, and my doc is actually advising a hysterectomy. She said if I get pregnant again she'll kill me. Jokingly. Sort of.
So anyway, I know my history and how I felt when I came home. But I would love to hear from anyone else who'd like to share their experience of the first week or so, especially right after they got home from the hospital. I will keep all info totally confidential. Specificaly, I'd like to know if anyone else had difficulty nursing (my body had been through too much to produce more than a tiny bit of milk), how long you stayed puffy (ugh), your level of energy (or total lack thereof) and basically how you felt and looked. I know I looked like I'd taken up streetfighting, but that was just me.
Thanks in advance, and hugs to everyone going through it still.

Compared to other cities, Berkeley has a high number of bicycle and pedestrian injuries. The main reason for this is because so many people walk and bike in Berkeley, not because it is a dangerous place.
When the rate of pedestrian injuries per walker (not per capita) and bicycling injuries per cyclist are considered, Berkeley ranks as the safest city in California with a population greater than 60,000 for walking and bicycling. The two charts below, generated from data from Peter Jacobsen's Safety in Numbers study, show how Berkeley compares to other California cities with respect to walking and bicycling safety.

Last year, I posted about a new Gmail feature that will prioritize important messages. This feature will be available soon and it's called Priority Inbox.
"Priority Inbox is a new view of your inbox that automatically helps you focus on your most important messages. Gmail has always kept spam messages out of your inbox, and now we've improved Gmail's filter to help you see the emails that matter faster without requiring you to set up complex rules. Priority Inbox splits your inbox into three sections: Important and unread, Starred, and Everything else. Messages are automatically categorized as they arrive in your inbox. Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important, including the people you email most and which messages you open and reply to (these are likely more important than the ones you skip over)."
Gmail also adds two buttons that let you classify messages as important or unimportant, just like the "Mark as spam" and "Not spam" buttons. Unlike spam filtering, finding important messages is more difficult because you can't use information from other accounts to classify messages.
Google has to build a personalized classifier for each Gmail user and it needs a lot of messages. "Email importance ranking works best for people who receive a lot of email," explains Google. Google takes into account implicit signals like: the messages from people you frequently email are important, if a message includes words frequently used in other messages you usually read then it's probably important, the messages you star are probably more important than the messages you archive without opening. There are also explicit signals: click on the important/unimportant buttons, create filters to mark messages as important.
Priority Inbox will be available in Gmail and Google Apps over the next week, but you'll only see it in Google Apps if the administrator has enabled "pre-release features".
Tidbit: Gmail uses the "important" label to classify messages, so that's the reason why you can't create a label named "important".
{ Thanks, Niranjan, Tillmann and Nikola. }

A server who makes $60 in a three-hour shift complains about people not tipping? That's $20 per hour, more than probably most of the customers make. I know some people just don't tip, but look at the service. I generally tip very well. But, my tip goes down or even away if I run out of drink, if I have to wait on my check, if my order is incorrect, or mostly, if my server has a bad attitude.
The bridge is hideous. Take down the expressway off-ramp guards and install something more appropriate.
Smart enough
I'm not sure if I'm happy that about 80 percent of our local drivers are smart enough to drive with their lights on when it's raining, or disheartened that 20 percent haven't yet gotten the message. Could that 20 percent come from the same reckless group that doesn't use their seat belts, doesn't wear helmets when riding a motorcycle and is reluctant to use turn signals? Is there a common thread here? How can we protect ourselves from these people and them from themselves?
My mother recently passed away. Being a senior citizen, she had numerous doctors she saw over many years. I contacted each office myself with the news of her death. I may be overly sensitive at this time, but I am so disappointed, and even angry, that so few of them even bothered to call her family or send a condolence card. The family received only two, and I thank those two with all my heart. I only wish the others had just one ounce of your compassion.
Eight years
Even if the information regarding the number of days President Bush was away from the White House in eight years is correct, do the math. It's a heck of a longer trip to Hawaii than to Texas. Bush went to his home. Obama rents elaborate mansions. Now, consider all the staff that have to be housed in expensive Hawaii. Even the food and gas for the parade of cars when he goes anywhere is more expensive in Hawaii. That argument, as much as you want to shelter Obama's "let them eat cake" attitude, doesn't fly. Can't we expect our presidents just to return to their homes for Christmas?

Looks great in my kitchen
This island has added charm and practical storage in my kitchen. My husband had no trouble putting it together and commented on how well it is made. I especially like the subtle distressed finish which gives it the shabby chic look. The feature of the drawer opening from both sides is nice and I love having storage on the shelves for the spices I use most.Read More
I love this in my kitchen. It is just wonderful. Perfect size and the look is great. Love the way you get into it from both sides. Love It.Read More
Great island
Came in 2 large boxes and was packed very well. I put it together by myself. Takes longer to get all of the packaging off than it does to put the island together. Very sturdy and looks high end. Love it!Read More
Kitchen Decor
Easy to put together. Perfect for the empty spot. Great storage and extra counter space. Love it.Read More
Satisfied for the money!
The shelves don't fit perfectly, and the piece of furniture smells badly of acetone. All and all not bad for the price.Read More
The island is exactly what we were looking for.
We have a small kitchen and previously had a 42" round table that took up too much room. The island is the perfect size and provides us with additional prep space as well as a perfect place for the two of us to dine.Read More
Awesome piece of furniture
I just assembled this piece today. It is absolutely gorgeous. Assembly did take some time, but I am a single white female and I read and follow all the instructions. Thanks to the strategically placed wooden dowels, you couldnt assemble this piece incorrectly if you wanted to. I am very pleased with my purchase. The top did receive a bit of damage during shipping but I am going to contact them now about a replacement. This really was the freight carriers fault it appears.Read More
This makes a beautiful addition to a country home
The other reviewers were right the two boxes this item came in were HEAVY!!! My UPS delivery man must be hating me right now. But it was definitely worth the effort. As soon as I took the item out of the box I recognized the excellent quality of the material. It does take a full afternoon to put together and you need to be VERY careful to put the pieces together in the right order because it would be nearly impossible to reserve yourself. But the end result is one of the most beautiful kitchen islands I have ever seen and at this price range it is a real steel. I am a very picky consumer but I can say without any qualification this wa one of the best furniture items I've bought in a long time. I have been using it for a few months now without any problem. My only warning i make sure you pick a kitchen island that matches the rest of your kithcen you dont want one that is a different color or material. Also make sure your kitchen island is the same height as your kitchen counters or it will look wrong.Read More
would have been excellent except...
It's beautiful...it looks just like the picture..it would have been simple to put it together,even though you needed two people to do it, except for the carelessness of the factory drilled holes. I mean really, there were not that many, but out of maybe 8 (not real sure of the total) at least 3 were drilled at an angle where you had to MAKE it work or they were just enough off center you had to drill a new hole. I think it will be fine as long as I never have to move it...it's just a shame no more care was taken with it...Read More
Wonderful Addition To My Kitchen
This piece is a great addition to my cottage style kitchen; matches my other pieces perfectly. Arrived with no damage and was securely packaged. The island is a substantial piece; very solid, weighty and well made. It took my husband and I about an hour to put together with no issues; instructions were very clear. The storage is great; I was able to put my Christmas plates, bowls, wine glasses and wine opener on the upper portion of the cabinet. On the lower portion, I have my cutting boards, kitchen towels, place mats and extra serving pieces. The shelves on either side of the island legs are an added bonus; I have used them for some of my mugs, holiday decorations and smaller cookbooks. The top of the island is great as well; more than enough room for a cutting board, knives, centerpiece, candles or other decorations. I can't say one bad thing about this island and I highly recommend it to everyone.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello elizabeths17, I was able to view the assembly instructions for this and the back looks just like the front. The cabinet goes all the way through with 1 adjustable shelf inside. The top drawer also goes all the way through the other side and can be opened from both front and back. I'm sorry we do not have any other images available. I love this! Have a great day!
I have had this for 9 months. The top is now cracking in two places. Has anyone else had this problem and what , if anything, did you do to get it fixed or get replacement parts. I am having trouble getting a response from the company. I left a glowing review in September, I now wish I could edit it!
Hello lastayt, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.

Hello ike, this will come in many pieces and will need a bit of assembly. Past reviewers have stated that it is not overly difficult, and is best with 2 people. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
This is very heavy and comes in many pieces. For one person it is a four hour job! Not complex, just time cosumin--but worth it-it is a great piece at a good price.
As per my husband, it came in "a lot" of pieces in a flat box, so it required putting together the legs, shelves, door, top, etc. But he assembled in easily by himself in about an hour. I'm sure I would have taken longer, but he says it wasn't hard - just takes some time.
One answer stated the dimensions of the front bottom cabinet was 16" wide, however, some hinges (European style) protrudes 1" making the useable space only 15"...and tight. I was thinking of using that space for trash cans.
Sorry, I didn't ask the question! What type of hinges does it have?
Can you put a bar stool on either end? Is there room for sitting?
Hello islandhunter, you could place stools around this, but legs will not fit under the table. Thanks for shopping with us!
You could put stools there but you wouldn't have knee room since there is no overhang of the top.
You are calling this cart antique white, is it a pure white color?
Thank you for contacting us karencoke14. Yes, it's an off-white color. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
It is just barely an off-white/ivory. Not at all creamy or yellowish, closer to white than cream with some worn spots. It works with our kitchen that has true white trim and marble, but would also work with ivory.
Do the cabinets pass all the way through from front door to back door or is there a partition?
Hello sbennett0926, yes the cabinet does pass all the way through. Have a great day!
Is this item currently in stock?
Hello 466993! This lovely item is currently in stock. Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
What are dimensions of end shelves?
There are three shelves, all about 18" wide. Top shelf is 7" deep, middle 7.5" deep, and bottom shelf is about 9" deep.
Are there other colors available other than white?
Thank you for your question kadams2105. Unfortunately, the Americana Antiqued White Kitchen Island only comes in white, I'm sorry. Have a great day.
I bought the white island and I am planning on painting it black. I hope it will work great.
I purchased this item in white and was able to have it professionally painted a different color and it looks great!
I believe I've seen this in black on another website, but waaay more money.
What are the shelf dimensions? And, with Threshold delivery, will I be notified of the actual delivery date?
Hello choosymomof4, Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Can you use stools to sit at this island (i.e. is there enough of an overhang to provide room for your knees)? Reviewers have stated they are using it for dining purposes but not sure how you can sit comfortably. TY
Hello rigby09, This does not really have any over hang. Thank you for shopping with us!
You could if you sit side ways and have a bigger kitchen than the usual U shape one in smaller homes. However, it is a wonderful addition to our sea coast home.
Would I be able to install purchased casters on this unit to make it easily moveable around the kitchen area for extra counterspace?
Hello sharoncooks, Yes you could install casters on this. Thank you for shopping with us!
What is the weight do this product?
Thank you for shopping Overstock.com. The shipping weight of this item is 71 pounds.
Does this island have matching doors on both sides? So it looks exactly the same on both sides. thank you
Yes, the unit has four doors that match and looks the same on either side.
I would prefer this Island with a granite top. Would I be able to replace the wood top with granite that I would acquire locally.
We are unable to offer advice regarding the modification of our products.
What is the width inside the closed cabinet? Are there shelves inside the cabinet and are they removable? I would like to fit a microwave.
Width inside the cabinet is about 24"x24". Ample space and there is a removable shelf. I suppose a small microwave could fit, but you would have to bend over for it.
Yes there is one shelf and yes it is removable. A microwave would fit inside but I think it would be very low to the ground.

'Halo: Reach' Series 6 Lineup Revealed
New Figures, Boxed Sets, and More Coming in February 2012
Friday, September 09, 2011
Updated October 28th, 2011. Check the bottom of the article for the latest information.
Our best-selling line of Halo: Reach action figures returns for a sixth series in early 2012. Get ready, because we're bringing more Noble Team Spartans, more fearsome Elites, more massive Brutes, and a special emphasis on what keeps the fans coming back to Halo: Reach -- multiplayer action! With single figures, two-packs, three-packs, and accessory packs, this series has something for everyone.
Individual Carded Figures
Jun (unhelmeted)
The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble Three brings back Jun with his unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes his signature Sniper Rifle and a Frag Grenade.
Kat (unhelmeted)
The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble Two brings back Kat with her unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes her signature Magnum and a Frag Grenade.
Brute Major
The fearsome Jiralhanae, better known as Brutes, dominate the battlefield with their raw strength and savagery. Only those warriors who have proven themselves in battle may earn the right to wear the distinctive gold armor of the Major class. Figure comes with Spike Rifle and Plasma Grenade.
Elite Zealot
The Covenant dispatch Elite advance teams to hunt down artifacts of value to their religion. Such teams are small, nimble, and almost always Zealot-class. Our latest Elite figure features the unique armor and maroon color of the Sangheili Zealot. Figure comes with Concussion Rifle and Plasma Grenade.
Sabre Pilot
When the planet Reach was threatened by a Covenant supercarrier, Noble Team initiated the daring Operation: UPPER CUT to take it down. Noble Six and Jorge took the lead, but they couldn't have succeeded without the assistance of the brave Sabre pilots of Echo Team. Our Sabre Pilot figure features the simple blue flightsuit and enclosed helmet of the UNSC Air Force -- essential for the cramped cockpit conditions and proximity to the vacuum of space. Figure comes with DMR.
Spartan HazOp (male) (rust/rust)
Some operations are considered hazardous even for a fully armored Spartan. These ops call for the specialized HazOp armor set. This Spartan features the Hazardous Operations helmet and shoulders, orange "rust" paint, and includes a Focus Rifle and a Plasma Grenade. Exclusive to Toys "R" Us.
Spartan Recon (male) (team red/team red)
Developed in ONI's Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility, the Recon armor was intended to offer stealth capabilities with little or no loss of endurance. This figure comes with matching Recon helmet, shoulders, and chestplate; is painted in bright "team one" red; and includes the intimidating Rocket Launcher weapon and a Frag Grenade. Exclusive to Target.
Spartan JFO (male) (white/white)
The Joint Fires Observer helmet is reserved for Spartans of Lieutenant Colonel rank and above. Figure comes with matching JFO helmet and shoulders, white armor, a Plasma Grenade, and an all-new weapon: the devastating Target Locator. Exclusive to GameStop.
Boxed 2-Packs
Team Objectives
Our first-ever Halo Accessory Pack brings the action of Halo: Reach multiplayer to your figure collection! Stage an epic match of Capture the Flag between your Red Team Spartans and Blue Team Spartans with detailed replicas of the highly coveted team flags -- or pit your players against one another in a heated round of Assault with the Capture Plate and Assault Bombs. Want to throw an Elite or two into the mix? We've even included the Covenant version of the Assault Bomb, first introduced in the new map, Breakpoint. The Team Objectives Set includes a team red Spartan Mark V with Assault Rifle, a Red Flag with detachable base, Blue Flag with detachable base, UNSC Assault Bomb, Covenant Assault Bomb, and a Capture Plate.
Halo: Reach introduced several new gametypes to Halo multiplayer, including the fast-paced, chaotic mode known as Headhunter. In this free-for-all frenzy, players fight to collect flaming skulls and return them to the moving scoring zone. Whoever has collected the most at the end of the round wins! Our Headhunter 2-pack includes two Spartans and five flaming skulls for them to fight over. Player one is a male Spartan EVA custom with green and yellow armor, equipped with a DMR. Player two is a male Spartan Commando custom with violet and yellow armor, equipped with a Sniper Rifle. The five skulls included in this set all feature a unique sculpt, with flames rising from a different area of each elusive prize.
Boxed 3-Packs
The multiplayer action continues with an expanded pack of figures based on the high-stakes, Spartan vs. Elite mode known as Invasion. On the Boneyard map, the Sangheili invaders team up to infiltrate a UNSC shipbreaking yard and steal a Data Core full of military secrets. The humans get their chance to infiltrate the enemy on the Spire map, which features a team of Spartans infiltrating a heavily guarded Covenant tower. Our Invasion 3-pack includes a red team Spartan Grenadier custom with Grenade Launcher, a blue team Elite General with Plasma Repeater, and both a UNSC Data Core and Covenant Data Core for each soldier to defend or capture.
Long Night of Solace
The unforgettable Halo: Reach campaign mission "Long Night of Solace" told the tale of Noble Team's courageous operation to infiltrate and destroy an orbiting Covenant supercarrier. For the first time in the Halo game series, Spartans took the fight into space, utilizing Noble Six's training as a pilot of the experimental Sabre spacecraft. Joining Six in the cockpit was his Spartan-II teammate, Jorge. Together, they faced waves of Covenant defenders, in both artificial gravity and low-gravity environments, to plant a bomb aboard their target and hopefully escape to fight the next battle. Our Long Night of Solace 3-pack commemorates this daring raid with a trio of figures from Operation: UPPERCUT. Set includes the unhelmeted version of Jorge with his Machine Gun Turret, the rare gold-armored version of the Elite Ranger, and Noble Six with Magnum and the all-new M-Spec Re-Entry Pack.
Small Vehicle Sets
Generator Defense
The unpredictable Firefight mode introduced in Halo 3: ODST returned in Halo: Reach with even more new and exciting gametypes. One such variant was Generator Defense, which features Spartans tasked with the protection of various electric generators threatened by the Covenant's unexpected attack. Our Generator Defense set brings this critical military asset to your figure collection. Keep it safe! Generator features a lockdown shield that can be raised and lowered and a radar dish that spins and pivots. Set also includes a male Spartan JFO custom in sage and steel armor, equipped with a Shotgun to repel any Elites that get too close.
Since this article was posted, there have been a few changes to Halo: Reach Series 6. Don't panic, we've tried to keep them to a minimum! Read on for all the details...
Release Date
Halo: Reach Series 6 should be available at most retailers in February 2012.
Store Exclusive Figures
The team red Spartan Recon will now be available at Walmart and GameStop as well as Target. The white Spartan JFO will be exclusive to our latest newest Halo figure retailer, Walgreens. The rust Spartan HazOp is unchanged and remains exclusive to Toys'R'Us.
The Headhunter 2-pack has been cancelled, but the Flaming Skull accessories are moving into the newly expanded Team Objectives set.
Team Objectives
This set still includes all the pieces that were previously announced, and we've added several bonus accessories to represent even more multiplayer gametypes. Set now also includes five Flaming Skulls (for Headhunter and Oddball), a Gray Flag (for Stockpile and 1-Flag CTF), and a Gravity Hammer (for Grifball).
With all these new, extra accessories, the Team Objectives set will ship a month later than the rest of Halo: Reach Series 6. I'll be available in March 2012, at the same time as Halo: Anniversary Series 2. We think it'll be worth the wait!
Long Night of Solace
Finally, the Long Night of Solace set is not being produced at this time. Its figures may return in a future Halo: Universe series, so keep checking www.mcfarlane.com for new lineup announcements!

The staff member who poured our tastings was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience very fun!

Outstanding wine and service. This was a very personable host. I would recommend the experience with the included chocolate pairing.
Something I would do again.

The experience as a whole was great. Even being severely run down it was a great break from the world in the middle of a bustling city.

Tim's personal introduction, he is very knowledgable and accomodate.
|Jan 12, 2014 Rita California, United States
It was fun to do a wine / chocolate pairing with a group of friends. It's easy to get to, and easy to park. It's also easy to go get a better glass of wine somewhere else afterwards.
First and foremost, the wines just aren't that great. The raspberry sparkling is way too sweet. The pinot noir actually tasted like pickle juice - vinegar and dill - bizarre. The cabernet had a funk. The Bordeaux blend was the only red that was all right, and it's only all right. Also, the service was crawlingly slow. Most of my group was standing around with empty glasses most of the time while we received a full-out lecture about the wine and chocolate. Now, I like learning about wine, but this was testing my patience. The only reason we took a bottle home was because of the $20 credit -- we had to get something. It would have been better for us not to have gotten the coupon and just do a regular tasting without chocolate (unnecessary and didn't add anything to the tasting experience) and without having a credit toward anything - the credit didn't give any sort of discount toward the actual bottle price, so it was simply as if we were obligated to get something.

14 August – 1 November 2015
John Waters, the enfant terrible of American cinema, has influenced the aesthetic of independent film-making like almost no other, pushing its boundaries with untrammelled relish. Just as the world of film infiltrates our lives – nurturing dreams, awakening obsessions and longings – so it affects visual artists. John Waters's radical visual idiom has inspired countless such artists. It comes as no surprise, then, that Waters himself has an artistic oeuvre to his credit. In this exhibition, featuring some 35 small to large-format film photographs, assemblages, sculptural works and aphorisms from the Matthias Brunner Collection, the Kunsthaus Zürich pays tribute to this important area of John Waters's work, and brings a little-known facet of this extraordinary director to a wider audience.

Separate gluten sensitive menu. Limited choices - they have steak, chicken, salmon, etc. but they're all bland. They update seasonally but the menu doesn't seem to ever change for the GF options.
Offered a separate menu for various restricted diets, which is great because I don't have to rely on my servers knowledge about GF options. The options were diverse, from apps to desserts, and all looked tasty. I was very pleased and would go again.
Great GF menu built seasonally. I really enjoyed they entire experience of this restaurant including outstanding customer service. (Summer selections) My meal: --Summer corn soup: light and fresh. --Organic spinach salad with goat cheese raspberries and pine nuts: well balanced. --Wood grilled pork tenderloin(with brocolini, mushrooms and polenta) pork was perfectly cooked! Very moist. Mushrooms were not slimy or earthy. The only down fall was the Polenta...it was very heavily seasoned with herbs yet tasted very 'flat' and I didn't waste much time or room on it. We will go back next time were on town!
I visited recently and the GF menu was great! I had the house salad and pork tenderloin. Everything was delicious!! I highly recommend Seasons 52 if you are looking for great GF options.
Very nice staff and ambiance but the gf menu was limited the one time I dined and was pretty bland and overcooked. I know they seasonally change their menus so they may be worth a second shot.
7863L Tysons Corner, McLean, VA 22102
Lots of options on a dedicated menu
789 W Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101
Food was great, they have a gluten free menu and the waitress was very knowledgable!
630 Old Country Rd, Garden City, NY 11530
very good food! I'm extremely sensitive to gluten and cross contamination,as I have celiac disease, and I did not get sick! not a huge selection, but still decent. I got the cannoli (without the shell) for dessert and it was to die for. I'd go back for that alone!
463 E Altamonte Dr, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701
I had the scallops with risotto which was tasty and had the desert (they brought deserts to the table) the one with marscopon had a cannoli stuck in it. The waiter said it was gluten free without the canoll-- I'm not sure if he just took it back and just took out the canoll and brought it back to me, but I was sick afterwards.,I'm guessing it was that dessert-- be cautious-- I wouldn't go back
1501 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401
They'll provide you their ever so limited GF menu, you'll be expressly clear in being GF, and yet they'll still bring a plate with gluten sauce poured all over it. I caught it after the first bite set in, asked server if the sauce was GF and she took the plate away looking horrified, but too late. Also despite the other reviews, there is no GF fryer here, and no bread / buns either. Don't recommend at all.
90 Perimeter Center W, Dunwoody, GA 30346
solid menu for gluten free
204 NW Shore Blvd, Tampa, FL 33609
Seasons 52 in Tampa has a very limited and not very creative gluten free menu. The only thing on the menu with any flavor was the olive appetizer, which was great. Will not be returning.
8930 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, FL 34108
Great food. Great service. Chef came out to talk to us about gluten free diet
1501 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401
So many options! Great service too!
2300 NW Executive Center Dr, Boca Raton, FL 33431
AHHHHMAZING! My husband and I always go here for special occasions because We know that I won't get sick! They take very big precautions for people with food allergies! The staff is very knowledgable about the whole menu! This is place has such a good atmosphere! Very romantic!
630 Old Country Rd, Garden City, NY 11530
Very few GF options for salads with protein NO DESSERTS Why isn't price on GF menu?
2300 NW Executive Center Dr, Boca Raton, FL 33431
This is the 4th time I have gone to Seasons 52 Burlington ma / Chesnut hill ma . Tonight I was at Boca raton one . Even with a menu that changes buy season , very good variety of gluten-free appetizers entrées and dessert. $$$ price wise but well worth it . I love the sushi and any fish dish .
1501 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401
Restaurant provided me with a GF menu upon request, which had 4 appetizer options, 4 salad options, 6 entrees, 6 sides, and 2 deserts. Portions aren't big, so expect to order an entree plus a salad or appetizer. Prices aren't low, but food quality was good and server was eager to please.
2502 E Camelback Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85016
Watch out for substitutions they make on the GF menu. Ordered salad and it stated gorgonzola cheese and they substituted blue cheese. It was buried underneath the spinach and when asked the waiter he had to ask the chef. Yep, didn't take long for the pain to take hold. Great wedding anniversary.
1689 Arden Way, Sacramento, CA 95815
They offer a separate menu with apps, salads, entrees and desserts. Good variety
11611 Ellison Wilson Rd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33408
Always delicious, never a problem & great gf desert options.
8650 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis, IN 46240
Very little for vegetarian GF.
6 Wayside Rd, Burlington, MA 01803
Beautiful atmosphere. But just average food. The gluten free menu was a bit frustrating. The first items under starters turned out to NOT be gluten free. Found this out after I placed my order & server came out to say that soups are not gluten free after all. The main dish was ok and dessert was ok. But would not go out of my way to eat here. Too bad, really think they could be better, but get the feeling they would rather do just barely enough to get by where gluten free is concerned.
7700 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32836
The services was ok, however that even the manager came to get my order, when the order came out IT WAS WRONG!!! No apologized!!! Did not changed my plate plus I waited over 10 minutes to get the right sides. Yes! The manager give me my dinner for free. However who care if I did not needed to paid. When I run the possibility to get sick. Poor appetizer choices. This restaurant specialized on healthy choices, organic or natural food but for sure they loosing their marked. Poor experience overall!!!!
5096 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
New fave restaurant! Had a few cocktails, gf ahi tuna roll, edamame, Turkey chili, Greek salad and lemon curd dessert with friends. A little on the pricey side, but def worth it.
7863L Tysons Corner, McLean, VA 22102
I do not have celiac's disease but am very gluten intolerant. The staff had a decent menu for gf, lactose intolerant, vegan as well as vegetarians. Had yummy food and even desserts I could partake in. No sickness afterwards and healthy to boot! Would love to see one of these in Baltimore, MD;)
2300 NW Executive Center Dr, Boca Raton, FL 33431
We ate here last night and the food was great. I called ahead to insure they could make my food safely as a celiac and the manager was confident and described their safety measures. He said to insure the waiter writes gluten free or celiac on the ticket and you will be safe. our waitress did a great job insuring everything was correct with our order as the manager indicated. though, she offered us their flat breads and gluten filled deserts, I'm sure she meant no harm. the food was phenomenal. while it seemed like it would be plain and boring based on the gluten free options. I was seriously wrong with that. it was well seasoned and very tasty. great sides too. the end story is it was safe as a celiac, I didn't get sick. and the food was great. no hassle no fuss.
90 Perimeter Center W, Dunwoody, GA 30346
The employees seem clueless and the food isn't great at all. not worth the trip
463 E Altamonte Dr, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701
Ah-ma-zing!!!! Lobster tail app, mixed green salad, salmon & roasted veggies, & both GF dessert options! So delicious! Well educated staff on CC, & GF diet! Hubby said this would be r weekly date spot if we lived here!
1770 E Higgins Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60173
Good amount of gf options.
204 NW Shore Blvd, Tampa, FL 33609
very knowledgable. my food was really good. new waiter but he was trained.
1770 E Higgins Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60173
Staff very attentive to our needs. Love that all meals under 500 calories. We enjoyed the live piano music.
5096 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Great gf sushi and many other options!
11611 Ellison Wilson Rd, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33408
Excellent service, well informed staff, delicious food!
8650 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis, IN 46240
Just ate here. My food was ok....didn't realize that their gluten free menu also was very low calorie...delicious but when i asked for butter on my broccoli rabe the waitress had a fit. ????
8930 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, FL 34108
The gluten-free menu has some fine choices. I had delicious fish tacos served in lettuce cups for lunch. Delicious! The server was pleasant and informed.
7700 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32836
Excellent service. Great menu choices. They messed up our gluten free order and then proceeded to give us all lunch free. Now that's an awesome restaurant!
5096 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Separate allergy menus are available and everything is fresh and very good!
7700 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32836
Excellent. Lots of choices. Separate Gluten Free menu. Great atmosphere. Very knowledgable and accommodating. Will definitely go here next year when in town. Healthy choices as each menu item is under 475 calories.
245 Summit Boulevard, Birmingham, AL 35243
I have not been diagnosed very long so this hasn't been as easy time for me. For thanksgiving this year I just didn't feel up to cooking so my fiancé and I went to seasons 52 to dinner. I have read a lot about my condition and know that some restaurants leave a lot to be desired when it comes to eating GF so this was our first time venturing out since my diagnosis. First of all we were immediately pleased. The atmosphere was splendid. The wait staff friendly and actually knowledgeable about GF! I couldn't believe it. Prior to retrieving the GF menu (which was NOT a xeroxed sheet of paper but a smaller, lovely replica of the regular menu) our server explained that not only could would they accommodate a GF diet but many others including vegetarian, vegan, sodium restricted, etc. From what I've been reading up on the food that is offered as GF can sometimes also be taste-free but my trout dinner was SO good it was exactly what I would have eaten prior to my diagnosis. The gala apple slaw, carrots and mashed potatoes were SO good I couldn't believe I was at a restaurant and eating GF and not feeling deprived. I left the restaurant feeling more hopeful than I had in a very long time. Sorry for going on and on like that!
204 NW Shore Blvd, Tampa, FL 33609
They were very helpful and careful preparing my gluten free items. The server was very knowledgable on what was gluten free and what wasn't. The sushi and spring rolls on the gluten-free appetizer list were great, however, everything else was bland. I ordered the fish tacos with lettuce which did not have much flavor. The mashed potatoes were very plain-tasting as well. I was happy that they take gluten-free seriously.
90 Perimeter Center W, Dunwoody, GA 30346
Very limited GF options. Wish they would expand it to match their current menus. Could be great with a few changes.

2000 Rte 38, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002
Food was delicious. Our waiter, Brian, was extremely sensitive to concerns regarding foods and potential reactions. Food choices for celiac were limited and no gluten-free beers available... but plenty of wine options and the fresh fish was delicious with veggies and roasted potatoes.

The Rt. Rev. Michael Curry, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina, was the preacher and celebrant at an 11 a.m. service at Galloway Memorial Episcopal Church located located at 310 Main St. in Elkin.
The Rev. Gaye Brown, Vicar for the Galloway Memorial Episcopal Church, said it takes up to two years for church hierarchy to visit a parish.
"We're delighted to have him," Brown told The Tribune.
Bishop Curry was elected eleventh Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina on February 11, 2000 and ordained bishop on June 17, 2000, at Duke Chapel on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
"I came to be with the people of the Galloway Church and to join two others who were reaffirming their faith," Bishop Curry informed The Tribune while pausing from a lunch pot luck to speak with us.
Being a bishop for the Episcopal Church wasn't always the plan, stated Bishop Curry, but preaching for the Lord and being his servant came to him early in life, he said.
"I knew when I was shaping my life in the early years of college that being a preacher was what I wanted to do," said Bishop. "Now it's about guiding the community and those who minister toward doing the work that Jesus wanted us to do."
According to Bishop Curry, he feels the social issues and the church are directed connected. Bishop Curry stated he has a focus on the underprivileged, the disenfranchised, reminding The Tribune that God is everywhere and that Jesus loves everyone.
"We are all connected," stated Bishop Curry.
The Bishop is concerned about family struggles and the financial hardships that families are feeling due to congress and Washington's fiscal cliff matters. Elkin residents have been feeling the crunch with paychecks being lower each week compared to what they were bringing home in 2012.
"Everyone is feeling the pain, and that's going to cause a burden on the church and especially the economy," said the Bishop.
According to church officials, Bishop Curry is best recognized for being the first African American bishop to lead a southern diocese of the Episcopal Church, he has a national preaching and teaching ministry, has been featured on The Protestant Hour and is a frequent speaker at services of worship and conferences around the country.

Thursday, July 18, 2013
A little more than a year ago some 60 or more kids and adults showed up at a committee meeting for the Summerville Parks and Recreation to ask for a skateboard park.
For the next few months, while neighbors railed against the idea, and town council members mulled it over, and Mayor Bill Collins pushed for it to happen, the kids themselves worked tirelessly to raise money to put toward the new park. After all, they had pledged to raise between 5 and 10 percent of the overall cost.
Last July, they proudly handed the Mayor a check for $652 … their first installment on that pledge.
Tuesday, they saw their dream fulfilled as more than 40 or so young people, skateboards and helmets in hand, crowded into the new park for the opening ceremony.
"The day is finally here!" shouted Mayor Collins to an excited and enthusiastic crowd of kids, parents, officials and media.
"I want to thank all the skateboarders who got behind this," continued Collins. "They put their money where their mouth is and made it happen."
In a show of mutual admiration, Bill Ridenour, owner of the Inland Skate Shop, spoke for the skateboarders and praised Collins.
"Without Mayor Collins' support and hard work this…wouldn't have happened. He and Doyle Best, manager, Parks & Recreation, they made it happen."
The crowd cheered.
Barely waiting for the ribbon to be cut the skaters threw their boards to the ground and jumped on not waiting a moment longer to try it out. Anyone walking across to get outside the fence did so at their own risk.
Whooshing and whizzing the kids tried every bit of the structure, sometimes falling, sometimes succeeding…the common thread was the big grin on each and every face.
Max Nolan, 12, of Summerville thought the park might still need a quarter pipe to get up speed, but otherwise it is "pretty good."
Todd Brown, 17, of Ladson said "I like it 'cause it's free and it's outdoors…I can get fresh air…I'm serious! It is healthier. It's also different than any other one I have been too, different obstacles." Brown says he has skated at Charleston (which is indoors and costs $10), West Ashley and Hanahan (prior to it being torn down).
William McKeon, 13, of Summerville likes it because it's free.
"It's sick," he said. (The current vernacular for "cool.")
"I hope," said Collins, "these kids have learned that persistence, patience and a lot of work…makes things happen. That's government."
Collins cautioned the skaters to make sure they take care of the park and that no issues arise. "Take care of it!"
"It's a good day for Summerville," he concluded, "Just don't expect me to hop on one of those skateboards!"

Rated 4 out of 5Â by 22 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Manona Just cute! Just got it today, after a very long wait. But since im expat living In Moscow im used to waiting. Best thing is that FP delivers to Russia! Tried the coat on and was very pleased. Yes, the material is thing and the buttons can be torn off easily. The boxy shape didn't bother me at all, and even with my full figure it fitted nicely! Now all i need is rain! 5.22.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nixi Rain, here I come! I think that this raincoat is adorable. It is very thin, which will be nice during warm showers.I am 5'3'' and it comes down much farther on me than it does on the models....about mid-thigh. Be careful with the buttons, though. Because the material is so thin, I could see a button being ripped off if you were rushing to get this off of you. All in all, very cute, and the pockets have pretty big flaps, perfect for your wallet or phone (if you trust it) . 4.10.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Celine_M It is what it is. Yes, the material is very thin but it's a raincoat made in china, not Paris. It's very cute and dainty looking in the ivory color. I wish it was a little cheaper but I'm so in love with the way it looks on, I can't return it. It is baggy but honestly what would you expect for a raincoat?! It looks exactly the same as on the model. Love it. 3.31.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by smo I cant wait to wear this! A few years ago Rebecca Taylor had in her collection a raincoat that i wanted very badly. It was what they called laminated lace, white lace that was pressed together with clear plastic on both sides. It was beautiful and i had to have it. Unfortunatley it was also about $550.00, so i did not end up purchasing it. I never forgot about it and kept searching for it from time to time on the internet, but could never find it. When i saw this i knew i really had to have it and purchased it right away. I was afraid it would be too big because of the pictures that show it being very loose. It actually hangs beautifully because the material is quite thin. I purchased the smaller size in the ivory color and i am so happy i did. I never wanted rain so much in my life! Now all i need is a pair of cute rain boots! 3.13.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by nicoleeeee perfect for paris I purcahsed this raincoat for my trip to Europe +t is thin but soo chic +buttons aren't that flimsy - I am worried about how i will hold up in the rain? -color is close to as pictured ( a bit darker) -the sleeve are pretty long +detailing is nice 6.17.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LeggoMyMeggo Adorable I love this raincoat and wear it every chance I get! I ordered a small, and it was a bit larger on me than I expected. But it is absolutely adorable. 8.22.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by EmmafromEast fell apart I bought the navy and it was beautiful and I got so many comments. But after a little wear it tore along the seams. The material seems pretty cheaply put together, as if the seams are fused together, not sewn. I am the biggest FP fan, but this one was disappointing. 1.23.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by vibit totally cute raincoat!! i love it and got lots of compliments. and it certainly makes being in the rain so much more enjoyable! however, as some others said earlier, it does run a little big (i'm 5'1", 105 llbs), and i bought the xs/s in blue... but hey ya ,what do you expect from a raincoat? :-) 1.3.2013

USDA Grants Protection to 39 New Plant Varieties
AMS No. 247-11
Michael T. Jarvis (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, March 12, 2012 -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued certificates of protection to developers of 39 new varieties of seed-reproduced and tuber propagated plants. They include celery, cotton, lettuce, potato, ryegrass and soybean.
The Plant Variety Protection Act provides legal protection in the form of intellectual property rights to developers of new varieties of plants.
A certificate of protection is awarded to an owner of a crop variety after an examination shows that it is new, distinct from other varieties, and genetically uniform and stable through successive generations, said Acting Administrator Robert Keeney, Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The public benefits as the recipient of lower prices from increased productivity, and from quality food, feed, fiber and other products, that result directly from improved plant varieties.
The term of protection is 20 years for most crops, and 25 years for trees, shrubs and vines. The owner of a protected variety has exclusive rights to multiply and market the seed of that variety.
The 39 certificates are:
--the Mission variety of celery, developed by Syngenta Crop Protection AG, Basel, Switzerland;
--the FM 9058F variety of cotton, developed by Cotton Seed International Proprietary Limited (ACN 065 327 915), Wee Waa, Australia & Bayer CropScience GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany;
--the Sun Valley and Sweetheart varieties of lettuce, developed by Central Valley Seeds, Inc., Salinas, Calif.;
--the Contender, Sizzler, Straight Shot and Headhunter varieties of lettuce, developed by Harris Moran Seed Company, Modesto, Calif.;
--the EMMA variety of potato, developed by Irish Potato Marketing Ltd., Dublin, Ireland;
--the FL 2126 and FL 2086 varieties of potato, developed by Frito-Lay North America, Inc., Plano, Texas;
--the Dakota Crisp variety of potato, developed by NDSU Research Foundation, Fargo, N.D.;
--the Harrier variety of perennial ryegrass, developed by Seed Research of Oregon, Corvallis, OR & Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, N.J.;
--the Plateau variety of perennial ryegrass, developed by Pure-Seed Testing, Inc., Hubbard, Ore.;
--the Flash II variety of perennial ryegrass, developed by Mountain View Seeds, Salem, Ore;
--the Prototype, Overdrive and Notable varieties of perennial ryegrass, developed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ & Novel AG, Inc., Saint Paul, Ore.;
--the Pacesetter II variety of perennial ryegrass, developed by Novel AG, Inc., Saint Paul, OR & Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, N.J.; and
--the XB50K10, XB56X10, RJS57003, RJS25005, RJS19003, RJS17003, RJS03003, XR40K10, XR36P10, XR32R10, XR03B10, XR56F10, XB04S10, 900Y61, 98Y12, 92Y61, 94Y81, 90Y21, 95Y10 and 92Y54 varieties of soybean, developed by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., Johnston, Iowa.
AMS administers the Plant Variety Protection Act, which provides time-limited marketing protection to developers of new and distinct seed-reproduced and tuber-propagated plants ranging from farm crops to flowers.

Elkin High's exiting National Honor Society members welcomed the entering members for 2014 on April 25 in a reverent and at times humorous induction ceremony.
The officers and members of the 2012-2013 NHS gave the newcomers for 2013-2014 a warm welcome in a ceremony marked by solemn and proud tradition. Guests and members held applause to the end of the induction, allowing students to hear their names echo across Dixon Aduitorium.
Following an introduction by Sam Lane, President Elise Corregan began the ceremony by lighting the main candle, from which the other officers lit their respective candles.The main candle is known as the candle of Knowledge and Truth.
Subsequent candles represented scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship. NHS members Coley McCulloch, Alix Hall, Ashton Gant, Logan Newman and Sam Lane lit them one by one.
Corregan then inducted the new officers for the upcoming school year.
2013 inductees include Aylin Aguilar Aguilar, William Allen IV, Courtney Beals, Noah Carter, Erin Cave, Jacob Christian, Kaley Cornelison, Sarah Cudd, Nicole DeFreitas, Ariana Fiets, Erick Fuentes, Mary-Frances Hall, Ellie Hooper, Kristen Kartes, Ciara LeMay, Piper Lewis, Emi Loving, Ava McRitchie, Marena Nelson, Payton Nicholson, Megan Peters, Jake Pickett, John Pillsbury, Rebecca Ray, Shaun-Tai Sales, Drew Shinkle, Cayley Shoemaker, Bethany Turner, Shannon Tweddell and Olivia West.
The National Honor Society is an organization dating back to 1921. The honor society is the premier showcase for exceptional high school students. While honor roll grades are important, the qualities represented by the candles also need to be shown to qualify a student.
