"Two souls dwell, alas! in my breast," says Faust, the protagonist in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's book of the same name, as he contemplates a dilemma that many people experience in life.
If Indonesian painter Raden Saleh ever read those words — and he may well have, since he lived during the 19th century and Goethe's "Faust" was published in 1808 — he probably sighed approvingly.
Raden Saleh, of Javanese nobility and often referred to as the pioneer of modern Indonesian art, spent a significant amount of time in Paris, Amsterdam and Dresden, Germany. Upon his return to Indonesia after 20 years abroad, he found himself caught between two worlds.
Werner Kraus, the curator of a new exhibition opening on Sunday and showcasing the painter's works at the National Gallery in Central Jakarta, is an expert on Raden Saleh who published a biography of the artist in 2004.
"I have the impression that Raden Saleh for a long time was not fully accepted as a true Indonesian, in the sense that people thought he was not a true Indonesian nationalist," Kraus said.
"There were doubts about his feelings toward the colonial rulers, but after doing research for more than 20 years, I am fully convinced that Raden Saleh was connected with the struggle of his people from the start, and he was also very critical about Dutch colonialism.
"He mentioned it over and over again in his letters and other documents."
Even though Raden Saleh is a familiar name to Indonesian ears — there are streets named after him in almost every city — it seems that little is known about the painter's life.
In a way, this exhibition marks a homecoming for Raden Saleh: Not only does it attempt to recall the artist's influence on Indonesian art and introduce his oeuvre to a wider public, it is also the first-ever monographic exhibition of his works in his home country.
"We all know Raden Saleh marked the beginning of new art in Indonesia," Kraus said. "He came straight out of the center of the international art world and introduced a different kind of art."
The exhibition brings together 40 paintings and drawings from private and public collections. "Finally, a lot of Raden Saleh's works are coming back to Indonesia to be seen here," Kraus said.
Raden Saleh made his first steps into the art world with his tutor, A.J. Payen, a painter from Belgium who was living in Bogor. The teacher was astonished by his young student's talent and convinced the Dutch colonial government to send him to Europe so he could study art.
Over the next two decades, Raden Saleh refined his skills in portrait and landscape paintings. He also did a series of paintings that depicted animal fights.
"He came to Europe at a time when there was a revolution happening in the art world," Kraus said.
"The new romantic schools were blossoming everywhere. It was [not only a different style of painting], but also about finding a new identity. It was about no longer being a subject of aristocracy, but more about being a man, an individual, and this had a great influence on Raden Saleh, who came out of a colonial society.
"So his experience in Europe was very important for his future."
Before Raden Saleh returned to Java in 1851, he decided he would not become a colonial subject. The years in Europe had left their mark, as he strived to continue his existence as a painter without losing his individuality.
"He built a house in Cikini [Menteng, Central Jakarta] that was, at the time, the biggest in Batavia," Kraus said. "He married a white woman and wanted nothing more than to be respected. In the end, he did not succeed because colonial racism was much stronger than colonial humanitarian ideas."
Raden Saleh was always eyed with suspicion, by both the Dutch and native Indonesians. It bothered him that he was not accepted in his own country, Kraus said, and when he passed away in 1880, he was not a happy man.
Despite this sad end, or maybe because of it, the upcoming exhibition may be seen as coming full circle for the painter. At the same time, it may help reignite the desire of Indonesians to finally discover more about him.
"I am very happy about this exhibition," said Indonesian poet Goenawan Mohamad. "I thought at the beginning that it would be very hard, if not impossible, to organize, not least because Raden Saleh seems to have been forgotten in Indonesia and his works are scattered throughout the world."
"It [the exhibit] will be beneficial to many, and I am especially glad that a lot of schools have been invited, so many children will see and learn about Raden Saleh as well," he added, bemoaning the fact that the government normally turns a blind eye to art and culture.
"Maybe this exhibition will help to open their eyes," he said.
Franz Xaver Augustin, director of the Goethe-Institut Indonesia, the main organizer of the exhibition, said he first heard about Raden Saleh about two years ago during a seminar at the Jakarta Arts Institute (IKJ), and he immediately thought of showing the painter's works.
"You may wonder why a German institution takes up the initiative to hold an exhibition of an Indonesian painter," he said. "One of the answers is that Raden Saleh had a very special relationship with Germany. He lived for many years in Dresden, which was still a provincial city, and where he was admired as the 'art prince from the Orient.' "
Augustin added that, in addition to this obvious reason, he also wanted to give Raden Saleh the attention he thought the painter deserved.
"We felt that Raden Saleh, an artist of international value, is underestimated here in Indonesia," he said. "Many people felt that he changed during his time away, but if you look at his work, you can see that he developed a special style that still showed his Javanese spirit."
Along with the exhibition, a series of fringe events will revolve around Raden Saleh, including a seminar on June 16 about his life and works organized by National Geographic Indonesia. A symposium on June 9-10 will also examine the process of modernization in Java.
Another highlight will be a fashion show on June 9 that will present the creations of several young Indonesian fashion designers who have been inspired by Raden Saleh. The painter famously designed his own uniform because he did not feel comfortable in traditional Javanese clothes but did not want to dress in European outfits either.
The Raden Saleh exhibition also marks the end of JERIN (Germany and Indonesia), a series of cultural celebrations to mark 60 years of diplomatic ties between the two countries that took place in several cities throughout the archipelago over the past few months.

-Audrina Patridge showed off her super toned body in an orange bikini today!
Damn it, we screwed that joke up. But the fact remains that the former Hills star and swim suit connoisseur looked amazing as she hit the beaches of Cabo in a loud orange bikini. Audrina was joined by boyfriend Corey Bohan on her south of the border vacation, which is apparently to celebrate her 27th birthday. Her birthday was on the 9th, so we guess she's just taking the whole month off. Head to the gallery below for more sexy fun in the sun!

St. Ignatius ripped apart the defending state champions in a convincing win. St. Ignatius will face a Sylvania Northview Team that seemed to have gone on a stroll in a clover patch, with a shut out victory, over the first time appearing shamrocks.
St. Ignatius is the home team and Sylvania the visitors in a high noon match up. Based on attendance from today, these two schools also have the best fan followings so the rink will host a great crowd.
The game will likely have a faster tempo than either game today. More trading of hits, and shots as well. Much tighter action overall. These are the best two teams in the state, both looking to bring home a championship. Both playing in the last game of the high school hockey season (sadly as there is no reason why the state champions should not advance at the schools choosing to play in the national high school tournament). In the only meeting between these team this season the match ended in tie. Neither club able to find the net. Since that meeting Ignatius beat St. Francis 5-2, beat St. Ed's and then dropped two to U.School. Those two losses to U. School are Ignatuis and one to Hamilton are the losses since the tie with Sylvania. I will say based on today's shredding of U. School that is is safe to assume that Ignatius is playing at their peak. This makes the match against a top performing Sylvania that much better. Both teams now have the jitters out, both have skated on the perfectly maintained ice of Nation Wide Arena. Both schools have strong support. Its going to be a great hockey game.
I've gotta feeling...I've said it all along. Now I will share that feeling with you. I've gotta feeling that the Sylvania Northview Wildcats will be crowned 2009-2010 Ohio high school hockey champions. The score will likely be low, quite possibly 2-1, or 3-2. It may even go to extra time. Yet in the end it is my belief that Sylvania can and will win this contest.
I've gotta feeling, and I will see you at the rink.

Young Journalist Discovers Experience Pays Off

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
Young Ethan Sattler started his own news organization last fall, a first step in being a real journalist. Then he put in a request to cover the inauguration from the White House Briefing Room, which was granted.
There were no briefings on Inauguration Day, but the 13-year-old did catch some of the action. He so impressed everyone, he landed a spot in the press viewing area; and caught a glimpse of the president leaving the White House.

What's great about this is that it's actually a universal USB charger since it's equivalent to existing USB ports. If your MP3 player requires a USB cable to charge the battery, then this will certainly work with it.
Step 1: Note: Not compatible with 2nd Gen Zunes
Do not attempt to try this with the 2nd Gen slim model Zunes (4gb, 8gb, 30gb, 80gb 120 gb slim zunes).
I found out that Microsoft designed the 2nd Gen Zunes to be incompatible with the third-party AC Adapters. Even the Official AC Adapters that were designed for the 1st Gen Zunes are incompatible with the 2nd Gen Zunes.
Step 2: Tools
Soldering Iron
Wire Cutter
Wire Stripper
You can easily find all this stuff at Radioshack.
The materials you need for modifying are:
One 5 Volt AC Adapter
One USB input plug (a.k.a female USB)
You can acquire the USB plug from an old USB extension cable you don't use. I pulled mine off of a dead MP3 player. Find the Pinouts and make sure you know what each of the four pins actions are. I included a Pinout diagram with this Instructable. Your USB cable should have pins sticking out the back where you will solder it to the AC Adapter plug.
Really this is a USB changer. You still need the original Zune docking/charging cable.
.. http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/52/a7/7b41810ae7a0ab6f3115a110.L.jpg
Most USB chargers are supposed to be regulated to 5V, and I've run into a few that are down as low as 3.4V (so much for 3.3V). Those will barely light power anything short of a 2x AAA powered camera (if your lucky).. As the 1st page of this instructable shows, Measure from the red & black wires, (the two outer contacts of a USB-A...

Activists rally at Statehouse on May DayBy WILSON RING

Hundreds of people turned out for the annual May Day march and rally organized by the Vermont Workers Center. Marchers represented causes ranging from worker rights to the environment and energy policy.MONTPELIER More than 1,000 activists highlighted their visions of social justice Wednesday at a May Day march through the city and rally on the Statehouse lawn that featured lived music, speeches and lots of red T-shirts.
Speakers at the event labeled Put People First promoted the rights of immigrant farmworkers, the need for universal access to health care and other topics.
Traditionally, May 1 is celebrated internationally as the day of the worker.
We are trying to build the community we would all like to live in, where peoples needs are all being met, whether that be housing, whether that be food, access to transportation, said Sandra Schlosser, a volunteer with the Vermont Workers Center who helped organize the rally.
Organizers also called on Vermont legislators, who met inside the Statehouse while people rallied on the lawn, to take action on various issues.
The Workers Center asked that lawmakers pass a budget that meets the needs of the people. Some of their criticisms of the Legislature include proposals to cap the welfare-to-work program, inadequate citizen participation in the state budget process and what they see as a too-slow process to implement the first-in-the-nation single-payer health care system.
Schlosser recognized that Vermont is far ahead of many states on social issues but said residents need to support similar efforts elsewhere.
Even though Vermont probably is leading the way in a lot of those areas its something that isnt just happening here, its something thats happening all over the United States, she said. And it is really exciting.
About 1,500 people attended the rally, Schlosser estimated. Montpelier police did not have an independent estimate of the crowd size.
Others at the rally included Alberto Madrigal, 22, from Tabasco, Mexico, who has been working on a Vermont dairy farm for the past 18 months.
He spoke in favor of an effort by a group called Migrant Justice to legalize drivers licenses for farmworkers in the country illegally. An estimated 1,500 immigrants work on Vermonts dairy farms.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

Re: How are analog formats doing?
Analog's doing well (financially) when I pop into my local record stores.
From my personal experience, the formats go like so:
MP3's - Only if I've got a hard copy, usually a CD, version as well. I'm not too hard on this, but there have been many times, where I've bought a song or two and several months or a year down the line it get's lost or deleted. I transfer music to and from my phone at least twice a week, it's easy to forget something is still there and wipe the sd card and then S.O.L.
CD - My personal favorite. I just like to have the actual physical copy. I don't know why I just have a serious problem only having my music in digitized file format. Although it's just as cumbersome as a cassette tape so I rip the discs over.
Cassette - Ha, that's a good one. Only if it happens to be 1990 again.
Vinyl - Yes please!!! Any day of the week as a mater of fact. The best thing about vinyl in my opinion is that you can get full, somewhat obscure albums in their entirety. I hate compilations with a passion.

MARS, Pa. — A camouflage-clad bride and groom got a little advice from a bewhiskered witness on their wedding day: "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson.
WTAE-TV reports Robertson told the couple to always love and forgive one another as they were wed recently at a Field & Stream store near Pittsburgh.
Robertson popped in for the nuptials of Mehgan Cook, who sported a camouflage sash on her dress, and Charlie Miller, who was completely clad in camo gear.
The two hadn't planned on marrying at the store, but Cook said they were eager to meet Robertson.
"I was going to cancel the wedding 'cause I heard Willie was coming," Cook told KDKA-TV.
Instead, Cook said, her mother came up with the idea of a wedding at the store, and they got a surprise when Robertson appeared during the ceremony.
"That's a first for me, it's good to be a part of that," Robertson said. "They look like my kind of folks with the camouflage, that was cool."
On the "Duck Dynasty" Season 4 premiere, which aired recently, family members threw a surprise wedding for patriarch Phil Robertson, wearing a black jacket over camouflage garb, and his wife, Miss Kay.
They could only afford a justice of the peace when they married 48 years ago.
The show drew 11.8 million viewers on the A&E channel, making it the No. 1 non-fiction series telecast in U.S. cable television history in total viewers as well as all key demographic groups.
Cook said she had been engaged to another man, but he died in a car crash four years ago. She met Miller at the scene and eventually the two started dating.
"I never thought it would happen again," Cook said, tearing up.

Our Targeted Peptide Technology(TPT) targets a subpopulation of pro-inflammatory immune cells and presents a possible treatment for immune-mediated conditions.
Our Targeted Peptide Technology(TPT) targets a subpopulation of immune cells behind some autoimmune diseases, presenting a possible treatment. Our current, second generation TPT compound is called VG1177.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's own cells, mistaking them for pathogens. In some cases, this confusion can arise from an initial infection, where the pathogen possesses antigens similar to self-tissues. Additionally, the immune system can be activated non-specifically, that is, it mounts an inflammatory response without a target. When non-infected, healthy self-cells are inappropriately targeted by the immune system, the resulting conditions, effects, and symptoms are termed chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
"We expect our TPT drug compounds to enable the body to destroy the cells that may underlie autoimmune diseases."
Certain molecular patterns, antigens, are displayed on all cell surfaces and allow the immune system to distinguish self from non-self cells as well as healthy cells from infected cells. When a cell displays a non-self molecular pattern, that pattern both alerts the immune system to the presence of pathogen(s) and provides an identity of the pathogen(s). This recognition initiates an immune response: acute inflammation followed by targeted destruction of invaders and of compromised self-cells.
Certain cells in the body ingest foreign, damaged or infected cells and then display a receptor on the cells surface, the MHC-II receptor (Major Histocompatibility Complex II). The MHC-II receptor allows other immune cells, such as T-cells, to identify the foreign, damaged or infected cell and cause the cell's death, eliminating the threat and stopping the immune response.
Our research indicates that the self-peptide CLIP (Class II-associated invariant chain peptide),, can be displayed on external MHC-II receptors, preventing T-cells from recognizing an antigenless MHC-II receptor and thus preventing T-cell mediated apoptosis of antigen-presenting cells. This disruption may prolong a non-specific immune activation, leading to chronic inflammation. Our research also indicates that these CLIP+ immune cells have increased pro-inflammatory characteristics; thus, CLIP prolongs the activity of pro-inflammatory cells.
Current therapies that combat these immune disorders generally focus on eliminating pro-inflammatory cells and/or their pro-inflammatory signals. Such therapies may be non-specific and immunosuppressive, weakening a patient's ability to fight secondary infections.
We believe we have produced a peptide therapy by computational binding affinity models that may selectively eliminate certain pro-inflammatory B-cell and T-cell subsets that may play a key role in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. As the peptide is narrow in its target, it may avoid drawbacks characteristic of current therapies.
TPT, in a general sense, is related to discovering pro-inflammatory receptor-mediated pathwaysand designing peptides that augment receptor function. These peptides were designed to function in all MHC-II phenotypes We expect our TPT compounds to enable the body to destroy the cells that help trigger autoimmune diseases.
We also believe that various other conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, hypertension, preeclampsia, glioblastoma, Type I and Type II diabetes, Lyme disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, lymphedema, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and sepsis infection, multiple sclerosis, transplant rejection, and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders (PANDAS) may be treatable using TPT.
Our MDT compounds disrupt tumor cells' ability to meet their increased energy requirements, therefore sensitizing cancer cells to other treatments.
Our Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT, covers a group of compounds that can be combined with existing treatments to fight drug resistant cancers. MDT compounds sensitize cancer cells to treatment by disrupting the metabolic strategies those cells use to survive.
Every cell in the body uses carbohydrates, proteins, or fats in different proportions to gain sufficient energy. The cell's distinct fuel proportion, its metabolic strategy, depends upon its activation state, differentiation state, as well as the extracellular environment.
Since cancer cells rapidly divide, they have very high energy demands. As such, tumor cells employ unique mechanisms to meet demand, mechanisms not found in healthy cells; these pathways could be targets for novel therapies. Specifically, we have targeted glucose and lipid consumption, as well as inhibiting autophagy. Our research indicates that metabolic disrupting agents prevent sufficient energy generation, weakening the tumor cells' repair functions, slowing growth, and overall resulting in statistically significant susceptibility to common standards of care.
Our in vitro and in vivo research indicates that MDT compounds can interfere with both drug sensitive and multi-drug resistant cancer cells. The MDT treatments demonstrate a lack of toxicity and impressive therapeutic activity, activity that is synergistic when used with standards of care, even with drug-resistant tumor cells.
"…the consequences are two-fold: the cancer cells can no longer generate energy needed to survive and the disruption of the intracellular energy levels reduces their ability to repair damage from other cytotoxic agents, resulting in a much greater sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation."
Doctors at Scott & White Healthcare in Temple, Texas, and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio, are conducting a Phase I Physician's IND trial, for patients with solid tumors utilizing an MDT compound, called hydroxychloroquine, in combination with an existing cancer drug, called sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar®.
MDT Compound for Drug Resistant Cancer called Hydroxychloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine is a MDT compound that can be used in combination with other cancer drugs, such as sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar ®, to treat drug resistant cancer. We hold a license to a pending patent application for the combination treatment. Our Physician-IND Phase I Study is testing the tolerability and toxicity of our patented technology in patients with advanced stage solid tumors. The study, which is ongoing in patients with solid tumors that do not respond to treatment or have returned after a period of improvement, examines the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, in combination with sorafenib, marketed as Nexavar®, which was co-developed by Bayer AG and Onyx Pharmaceuticals. Our MDT trial was initially only approved for ovarian cancer, but has expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas.
The study is designed with four cohorts, three cycles of administration in each cohort and four different patients in each cohort. Thus there are 16 total patients targeted to complete the trial. Sorafenib and HCQ are FDA approved and thus the study is testing the drugs in combination for safety and toxicity.
As a Physician's IND Phase I study, the investigators are primarily testing for safety, but are also monitoring for efficacy in reducing tumor mass or stunting tumor growth.
- No patients have been dropped from the study for toxicity.
- The primary investigator reported two clinical responses in cohort number 3 with four months of disease stabilization in a patient with metastatic ovarian cancer, which has spread throughout portions of the body, and five months of disease stabilization in a patient with triple-negative breast cancer, which is a type of cancer that does not express three genes that are key to traditional cancer treatment, making treatment more difficult.
- The final patient in cohort number 3 has stage IV, or metastatic, adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is a common form of lung cancer, and has four separate lung lesions. During the course of the study, the four lesions have all regressed about 20% in size.
This study is being conducted at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. The primary investigator is medical oncologist Dr. Tyler Curiel, M.D., MPH and is based on the research of Dr. M. Karen Newell-Rogers, PhD, our Chief Scientific Advisor. In March 2014, the University of Texas Data Safety Monitoring Committee approved an expansion to cohort number 4. In the final cohort, the trial is at maximum sorafenib plus maximum HCQ. Cohort number 4 has enrolled the first 3 patients.
VG Life Sciences is in discussion with the University of Texas regarding the feasibility of expanding the study into a Phase II or an extended Phase I P-IND. This would involve using combination therapy dosing over a 1 year period to test for efficacy.

On June 20, 2014, the company filed a Form 10-12G with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, as of August 19, 2014, is required to make ongoing disclosures and reports under the SEC's online EDGAR system including annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as well as Current Reports on Form 8-K. The company responded to SEC comments on September 10, 2014 and October 1, 2014. The company cleared SEC comments on October 14, 2014.
Previously, on March 25, 2009, the company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission terminating its reporting obligations under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, the company was no longer eligible or required to make ongoing disclosures and reports under the SEC's online EDGAR system including annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB, as well as Current Reports on Form 8-K. The company addressed this gap in disclosure by making disclosures under the OTCIQ service.
SEC filings on EDGAR are available; however, investors should also consult the company's disclosures made on the OTCIQ system (see below) and the company's standard press releases.

Users know that Twitter no longer displays images from Instagram whenever you share it on the microblogging site. Instead, it just shows a link to the Instagram account which is cumbersome. The good news is there's a way to bypass that limitation thanks to a web-based service called IFTTT.
IFTTT (pronounced like "gift" without the "g") stands for IF This Then That. It's a service that unifies online channels (accounts) using a "Recipe". In this case, the recipe is "If Instagram Then Twitter", simple as that.
Here are the steps on how to do it:
1. Create an account on IFTTT by providing a valid e-mail address and a password.
2. Click here to use the Instagram to Twitter recipe made by calebgarling.
3. Activate your Instagram and Twitter channels by signing in on your accounts and authorize IFTTT on both.
4. Once both accounts are authorized, click "Use Recipe" and wait for activation.
5. Once activated you can now post a photo on Instagram, skip the share on Twitter feature, and it will be automatically shared on your Twitter feed.

The sharing is not instant though and usually takes 2 to 3 minutes before it shows up on your Twitter feed, but it should be worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThePlantess So Happy With This Piece! I bought this in blue for a trip to the Mediterranean and I just CANNOT wait to wear it! The quality is excellent, the crochet work is fabulous and not flimsy. I pair it with a light blue tube top so there are no straps to distract from the top detailing!! 3.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crazycatwoman A Cute Top , A Keepr! I got lazy and in a moment of weakness I purchased this top in what FP call a peach In reality it's a dark coral or orange. I am making due with the color as I like the top but orange normally is not a color I would buy and wear. I thought it was a more light peach color. I ordered it in a medium but usually wear a large. I think this top runs a little big as it fit me perfectly. I may add some more doilies to this top and turn it into a three layer top. I am going to wear it with a pair of FP Extreme Flair jeans or with a pair of bloomer pants that I made myself. They have the same color of orange in them too. A pair of wide legged linen pants would look great too! This is a cute top, seems to be well made. I might make myself several more of this top in different colors later on this spring. It would be a easy top to make for about 25.00 if a person can sew if not get it before it is sold out! 2.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Adorable I purchased this in the indigo color way and it looks like the online images. The crochet is pretty substantial and the fabric portion is of lightweight non-see through fabric in this color. I was concerned that the crochet would make the top too peekaboo, but it actually looks pretty nice on. I usually wear an XSmall in FP, and there is plenty of room with this top. I plan on handwashing this to preserve the crochet work. Looks good thrown over a slip or a maxi dress for now, and will look great with shorts when the weather gets warmer. 2.10.2013

DURHAM, N.H.-- Head Coach Richard Umile of the University of New Hampshire men's ice hockey program has announced the signing of six student-athletes for the 2001-2002 season. Justin Aikins (Surrey, B.C.), Robbie Barker (Concord, N.H.), Preston Callander (Regina, Sask.), Ed Caron (Hudson, N.H.), Sean Collins (Reading, Mass.) and Tyson Teplitsky (Saskatoon, Sask.) have all been accepted to the University of New Hampshire for the fall semester of 2001.
"We are very excited about the incoming class, which should bring additional size, speed and skill to next year's team," said UNH head coach Richard Umile.
Aikins is a 6-0, 185-pound forward from Surrey, B.C. who skated for the Langley Hornets of the BCHL for the past three seasons. While at Langley, Aikins played in 170 games and recorded 75-120-195, including 91 points this past season. He was a BCHL All-Star and was selected to the BCHL Second-Team in 2000-2001 and was also named MVP of his Langley club. In 1998-99, Aikins played for Team BC in the Under-17 program in the Canada Winter Games recording 2-3-5 in six games en route to a bronze medal. In the final 2001 NHL Central Scouting Service draft list, Aikins ranks No. 123 among North American skaters.
"Justin is a playmaking skilled forward with explosive speed, " said Umile.
Barker is a 5-10, 215-pound defenseman from Concord, N.H. who played in the USHL this past season for the Sioux Falls Stampede. Barker played in 56 games recording 5-13-18. Prior to Sioux Falls, Barker played at Lawrence Academy, where he won two ISL Championships and was a three-sport captain while at Lawrence Academy. He was a member of the 1998 New England Select 17 Team and was deemed "Mr. Hustle" at Hockey Night in Boston in 1999.
"He is a very physical defenseman and his strength is one of his assets. He is a strong stay-at-home defenseman," said Umile.
Callander, a 5-11, 180-pound forward from Regina, Saskatchewan, skated for the Lincoln Stars of the USHL in this past season registering 31-32-63 in 56 games played. He led the Stars to an Anderson Cup league Championship, was named a USHL All-Star and the garnered World Team All-Star MVP honors this past season. Callander holds Lincoln team records for points in a game (8), goals (4) and assists (5).
"He is very intelligent playmaker with a great scoring touch," said Umile.
Caron is a 6-3, 220-pound forward from Hudson, N.H. who played for Phillips Exeter Academy for the past three seasons. Caron posted 92 goals, 70 assists for 162 points in 76 games. In 1999, Caron scored a school-record 39 goals in his sophomore campaign. Caron was a New England Prep School All-Star in 2001 and guided Phillips Exeter to a New England Prep School Championship in 1999. In the final NHL CSS draft list, Caron is No. 29 among North American skaters and was ranked as the No. 3 recruit in the East by the United States Hockey Report. He shared MVP honors at HNIB All-Scholastic Tournament in April of 2000 with current UNH defenseman Mick Mounsey and was selected as "Best Pro Prospect" by HNIB in its 2000 Summer Showcase Tournament.
"Ed is a power forward with proven scoring ability," said Umile.

Yeah, they did a great job revisiting these and doing them right, I feel. My lame camera phone can't capture how cool the finish looks up close. I need to get a new camera.

Red sparkle came in a super close second to these. Those are some of my favorite too. Maybe, if I am lucky, I will have those on a kit down the road. In fact, I spent the first week second guessing my choice because I would Google pictures of all the different finishes that I had to choose from. Man, they looked pretty good! But I had already had to change my mind once because they said that they didn't have Black Glass Glitter, after I made my order. It all worked out though.

Some Albuquerque students were actually asked Wednesday morning to text and drive.
Don't panic, they were not out on the open road. It was all set up in a safe environment. The idea was to teach students about the dangers of texting while driving.
16 year old Jennifer Martinez already knows about texting behind the wheel.
"I tried it once and I realized I was swerving to the side so I stopped doing that but no, now I don't," said Martinez.
That experience stopped her but she said it isn't stopping her friends.
"And sometimes she'll like swerve a little or sometimes there's like a car coming and they want to pass her and she gets all scared," said Martinez.
Martinez said she sees so many drivers out there like her friend.
That's why AT&T is using an elaborate simulation complete with a fake car, video goggles and, of course, texting.
"They're trying to avoid pitfalls and distractions and things that are jumping on the road," said AT&T representative Karen Kruse.
Kids put on the goggles and are instructed to text and drive - the video display shows everyone what they're seeing.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 was there when Jennifer gave it a shot.
"Ah! Oh my gosh, I can't stop!" she exclaimed as a computer simulated person stepped out onto the street. "I just hit a pedestrian!" she said.
Jennifer shouldn't feel bad about the fake wreck: everyone who texted - crashed during the simulation.
Many students told KOB it was a lesson learned, so they all signed a pledge by AT&T to not text and drive again.
"I think it shows how quickly things can change if you're not watching the whole time," said a student.
Kruse said they're taking the message across the nation hoping kids will influence each other.
"They'll find a way to say don't text and drive we need to get there safely in their own way," said Kruse.
Jennifer said she doesn't want to go through this kind of crisis in real life.
"I know I will not text and drive from now on!" said Martinez.

The second annual Pachanga! Fest probably couldn't have been a much better event. Packed into one day, the Fest cut a broad swath across the Latin Music scene, from radio stars to indie standouts to the most traditional sounds, and was the perfect sampling of the musical landscape whether as long-time followers or uninitiated newcomers. Contributing to the Fest's success was the beautiful late May Saturday weather and the event's move from last year's location at Waterloo Park to the Eastside's more intimate and accommodating Fiesta Gardens. With two smaller stages alternating on the Park's east end and the large Pavilion Stage a short, shady foot bridge walk away to the west, the music was constant and more than could be fully absorbed. The Pavilion handled a combination of most of the bigger acts and more traditional sounds (Michael Salgado, the Chris Perez Band, and the sprawling female Mariachi troupe), but the smaller two stages offered up the more intriguing performances of the day (Mexican Institute of Sound, Brownout!, David Garza, Charanga Cakewalk). Altogether, Pachanga! offered 20 bands and one of the best single days of music that Austin has seen in a while.
Arriving in the afternoon, Dignan impressed first with a smooth and mellow vibe that sank well in hot sun. With impressive touches that at times suggested both Radiohead and Fleet Foxes, the McAllen, TX quintet at first seemed oddly juxtaposed with following acts Los Bad Apples and the Pachanga All Stars on the other two stages, but only served to highlight the wonderfully eclectic nature of the Fest. The Pachanga All Stars appropriately seemed to best reflect the spirit of the event, not only for their presentation of traditional Latin ballads and its rock-tinged descendant, but also for Serranos owner Adam Gonzales actually grilling fajitas onstage during the set. The All Stars consisted of Vallejo with a host of guests, led primarily by new Austinite-via-San Antonio Willie Alvarado, with a jaw-dropping Zayra Alvarez, violinist Haydn Vitera, and incomparable Michael Ramos on accordion, to name but a few.
On the other side of the park, locals Los Bad Apples unloaded a suave and sexy set behind the dueling front spark of Anita Benner and Zeale, the latter throwing down his brand of hard rhymes while the former danced and laced her skittering vocals with a Latin touch to funky, dance-club rhythms. It was a sound that lead well into Ocote Soul Sounds' intricate smooth funk and jazz arrangements. Debuting songs from their upcoming new release Coconut Rock, out later this month, leaders Martin Perna and Adrian Quesada packed the stage with an outfit that boasted multiple violins and flutes trilling against a relentless beat and spiked by Quesada's electric guitar, most impressive on the mean baritone sax propelled new tune "Revolt of the Cockroach People."
The best two sets of the day came from the tightly packed Plaza Stage courtesy of Guatemala native and currently Los Angeles based singer-songwiter Gaby Moreno and Austin's own David Garza. Morena delivered the undeniable break out surprise of the Fest, with a vocal prowess that recalled the fire of Fiona Apple and the subtlety of local standout Dana Falconberry; intoxicating and powerful. Garza also stepped up with Moreno to offer an exceptional acoustic guitar on the beautiful "Amapola," one of the many standout Garza contributions to the day, which included his leading the "Hokey Pokey" in the Ninos Rock tent. His own set later in the afternoon sparked a dance party in front of the stage behind his dual percussion kit rhythms. New tunes from this year's Dream Delay like "Minority Boys Got $" and "Dead French Dudes" spun scatting and soulful bursts as Garza sweat down the set, with brief help from Suzanna Choffell, and even Garza's charming between-song banter carried a rhythmic and poetic lilt.
If Garza launched the Soul Train, then Brownout surfed a chilled, pysch-funk flow through the crowd. With bongos pummeling out front and a dual guitar blitz that at times carried an almost classic rock faceoff, the local standouts burned up what was left of the afternoon heat and proved themselves once again as a pillar of local Latin scene. Maneja Beto held their own as well, though it took some time for their indie-synth driven sound to find its proper groove. The same can't be said for the abominable Chris Perez Band on the other side of the park, who, judging by the crowd crammed in front with camera phones clicking, draws most of their appeal for Perez' apparently being Selena's widower. The music was simply an amusing, lukewarm wash of radio balladry that played like big haired, Latin Bryan Adams from the Eighties. Ouch.
Yet Pachanga is all about its inclusiveness, and to that end, the Pavilion Stage was soon cleansed of Perez' sound for the remarkable nine piece female troupe of Mariachi Altenas, who re-upped the party vibe with a crowd involving, playful and impressively rendered set of familiar tunes. Likewise, Michael Ramos' Charanga Cakewalk was inspired behind his fervent accordion fury, pulsing the Plaza Stage's closing set with a billowed brilliance. Leaving the Mexican Institute of Sound to shut down the east side with their tres-laptop grooves, and Michael Salgado's traditional suavity lingering to west, the second Panchanga! Fest was an impressive success and hopefully a harbinger of many more great events to come.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a food container, and more particularly to such a container in which food may be heated preparatory to serving.
2. The Prior Art
A number of food containers have been developed for supporting and enclosing individual serving portions of food products, and some of these have been useful for storing and preparing a variety of products by heating in an oven or the like. However, it is desirable to provide a package in which it is possible to heat a product to serving temperature more rapidly, by using a stove top burner as a source of heat.
It is a principal object to the present invention to provide a food package for storing and heating individual serving portions of food products in the most rapid and economical manner.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a package which allows a variety of food products to be simulataneously heated by different modes of heating, such as wet heat or dry heat.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a food package for storing and heating individual serving quantities of food products in which different products may be simultaneously baked, fried and steamed in the same container.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a food package for storing and heating individual serving portions of food products incorporating an ice containing chamber for helping to maintain the food product in frozen condition prior to heating, and for assisting the heating of certain ones of said food products by means of steaming during heating.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a food container having a specific shape, for facilitating the heating of different varieties of food products by means of different heating techniques.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a food container is provided having a metal shell, formed as two open chambers, with a shaped baffle disposed in one chamber for separating said chamber into upper and lower compartments. An exterior face of one of the chambers is offset relative to the plane of the exterior face of the other, so that the two chambers are adapted to be heated by conduction and radiant heat, respectively. The shaped baffle incorporates a plurality of enclosed regions containing ice chips of graduated dimensions, with a plurality of aperatures opening downwardly from said closed regions into the lower chamber of the compartment having the baffle. During heating, individual ones of said graduated ice chips fall into the lower chamber and are vaporized into steam, which steam is used for steaming as a part of the heating process.
The present invention achieves the advantage of permitting rapid heating of foods of different varieties in a single container, so that the preparation time for such food products is minimized.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become manifest by an inspection of the following description and the accompanying drawings.
Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a food package incorporating an illustrative embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the container of FIG. 1, shown in place on a stove top; and
FIG. 3 is a portion of the apparatus of FIG. 2 shown in greater detail.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a food package 10 is formed of aluminum sheet which has been stamped so as to form a shell-like self-supporting container having two separate chambers 12 and 14. The first chamber 12 is formed at one end of the container 10, with a second chamber 14 formed at the other end, the two chambers being separated by a vertical wall 16. The chamber 12 has its bottom wall 13 at the lower extremity of the container 10, while the bottom wall 18 of the chamber 14 is located in a plane which is vertically offset from the bottom wall of the chamber 12. This shape allows the container 10 to be placed on a stove top burner or the like, as shown in FIG. 2, so that the bottom wall 13 of the container 10 rests directly on the burner, whereas the bottom wall 18 of the compartment 14 is raised from the surface of the burner by short distance on the order of 3/8 of an inch.
The chamber 12 is divided into upper and lower compartments 19 and 21, respectively, by means of a shaped baffle 20. The baffle 20 is formed of aluminum sheet material, and is shaped to have a central lower portion 22 adapted for supporting food to be cooked, and at least one pouch-like compartment 24 adapted to contain ice chips of graduated sizes. FIG. 2 illustrates the package in cross section, and illustrates two pouch-like compartments 24, having a series of apertures 30 opening into the lower compartment 21, spaced about 1 cm apart.
The pouch-like compartments 24 contain ice particles in graduated sizes. During cooking, the container rests on a stove top burner 28, and the ice melts within the compartments 24, as a result of the heat supplied by the burner, causing droplets of water 33 to fall onto the lower compartment 21 of the chamber 12. The water which reaches the bottom wall 13 is converted into steam by action of the heat received from the burner 28, and the steam 34 (FIG. 3) is forced upwardly through apertures 32 spaced about 1 cm apart in the panel 20. A serving of food 36 rests on the upper surface of the shaped baffle 20, and this food is heated from the bottom by heat passing through the bottom wall 13, and is also heated from the top by steam resulting from the vaporization of water in the lower compartment 21.
The other chamber 14 contains a serving quantity of food 38 which is intended to be prepared by application of dry heat such as by baking. The heat supplied to the interior of the compartment 14 is supplied by means of radiation from the burner 28, to the bottom wall 18, such radiation passing through the space separating the bottom wall 18 from the stove top or burner 28. A small number of apertures 17 are located in the wall 16 to admit a small quantity of steam to the chamber 14.
A cover 40 overlies the entire container. The cover 40 may be formed of any convenient material, such as aluminum or cardboard, and a pair of aperatures 42 and 44 are provided in the cover in alignment with the compartments 12 and 14. The apertures 42 and 44 are each covered by a removable strip 46 and 48, respectively, which is releasably adhesively secured to the top surface of the cover 40. The strips are selectively removable for controlling the temperature within the chambers 12 and 14 during heating. If the strips are left in place, a higher temperature is reached within a chamber, whereas a lower temperature can be selected by removing the strip.
A further aperture 50 is provided in the cover 40 at a location over the wall 16, and this aperture 50 is covered by a sheet 52 of transparent plastic material which is adhesively secured at its edges to the cover 40. The transparent sheet 52 provides a window by which a user may look into the compartments 12 and 14 and inspect the contents thereof, both at the time of purchase, and during the subsequent heating operation.
Preferably the bottom panel 22 of the shaped panel 20 within the chamber 12 is formed with a plurality of ridges 23, so that when the food product 36 is meat, such as a hamburger patty or the like, fat which is expelled from the meat during the heating process remains out of contact with the meat.
The shaped baffle 20 is held in palce by being crimped over the upper extremities of the middle wall 16 and an end wall of the container 10, as well as the joining side walls. It is held in that position during storage and heating by the cover 40. When the cover 40 is removed, however, the baffle 20 may be lifted out of its position in the container 10 and used as a serving tray or the like.
When the food package is employed for food products such as a hamburger with bun and french fries, the hamburger patty rests directly on the ridges 23 of the bottom surface 22 of the baffle 20, with the bun on top of the patty, and the french fries are contained in the chamber 14. During the heating operation, the hamburger patty is partly fried (by contact with the surface 22) and partly steamed, whereas the bun on top of the hamburger patty is steamed, and the french fries in the dry compartment 14 are baked. In each case, the temperature within the respective chambers may be controlled by selectively removing the strips 46 and 48, or permitting them to remain in place.
It is apparent that the present invention provides a food package which is suitable for containing and storing food products prior to heating, and which can be conveniently used to allow the food products to be heated on top of a stove. Since the stove top furnishes heat very rapidly to the container when it is in position on top of the burner, the food products within the container may be rapidly brought to a serving temperature.
Due to the relatively high temperature of the stove top, the present invention furnishes a means of preparing food products for consumption much more rapidly than with conventional packages which are required to be heated by placing them in hot air ovens.
Because of the water 33 dripping from the apertures 30 in the pouches 24, the temperature of the bottom panel 13 is maintained below the temperature at which it would be burned, so the bottom panel of the package is not consumed or otherwise destroyed during the heating process. Because of the effective cooling action of the water resulting from the ice particles, the bottom panel 34 may be formed of relatively thin sheet material of the same gage as the rest of the package. Therefore, no special manufacturing steps need be taken in connection with the formation of the bottom panel, despite the high temperature of the burner with which it is heated. The ice particles within the pouch-like compartments 24 are graduated in size in order to supply gradual introduction of the ice and water into the lower heating compartment. The finest sizes of ice chips may fall through the apertures 30 before they are melted, so that they are immediately available for cooling the bottom panel and for conversion into steam at the beginning of the cooking process. The larger particles of ice take longer to melt, and are therefore made available later on during the heating process. Because of the gradual introduction of water and ice into the lower portion of the chamber 12, the ice is rapidly vaporized into steam to promote the most efficient and fast introduction into steam into the upper portion of the chamber 12.
The vertical separation between the ice-containing compartments 24 and the bottom wall 13 causes the compartments 24 to be heated more slowly than the bottom wall 13. Aocordingly, the gradual introduction of melted ice into the bottom compartment of the chamber 12 allows for the generation of steam beginning almost immediately when the container 10 is placed on the burner 28, and extending over a period of time of about 5 minutes or less, depending on the heat of the burner 28. At the end of that time the food is ready to be eaten. The end of heating is signalled when steam no longer escapes from the aperature 42. If desired, the aperature 42 may be shaped to make a whistling noise in response to the escaping steam, to give an audible indication that the heating operation is finished.
The baffle 20 is formed of a rectagular sheet of material such as aluminum, and the pouches 24 are formed by crimping, after the ice has been put in place within the interior of the pouches. The pouches 24 maintain the ice in position without any need for completely sealing the pouches with adhesive or any fasteners. The side edges of the baffle do not need to fit snugly against the side walls of the package, because there is no need for a steam-tight seal. Ends of the baffle are hooked over vertical walls of the package 10.
In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the holes 30 are about 5-10 mm (3/16-3/8 inch) and the thickness of the aluminum sheet material used for all structural parts is about 0.09-0.17 mm (0.0035-0.0065 inch). The entire container may be about 20 cm long, 75-140 mm wide and 19-70 mm high (8ū3-5 1/2ū3/4-2 3/4 inches). The total quantity of ice used is between 6 and 50 grams, depending on the quantity and type of food product in the package.
By the foregoing, a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described. It will be apparent that various additions and modifications may be made to the package of the present invention without departing from the essential features and novelty thereof, which are intended to be defined and secured by the appended claims.
