Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the safety, tolerability and recommended Phase II dose of temsirolimus in combination with vorinostat in patients with metastatic, hormone refractory, chemoresistant prostate cancer. II. To obtain preliminary evidence of response in prostate cancer patients treated with temsirolimus and vorinostat. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the partial and complete objective response rates in metastatic hormone-refractory, chemo-resistant prostate cancer patients with measurable disease treated with temsirolimus and vorinostat. II. To determine the progression free survival and overall survival in patients with metastatic hormone refractory, chemo-resistant prostate cancer. III. To determine the PSA response, the duration of PSA response, time to PSA progression, PSA doubling time and PSA slope in metastatic hormone refractory, chemo-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with temsirolimus and vorinostat. IV. To assess changes in expression levels of bone remodeling markers (N telopeptides and bone alkaline phosphatase) and angiogenesis-related gene and protein expression (VEGF/HIF1-alpha) in blood and circulating tumor cells, and when available, in tissue, and correlate them with cancer and treatment related outcomes. V. To assess the changes in tumor metabolism with FDG/IIC-Choline PET/CT scan. OUTLINE: Patients receive oral vorinostat once daily on days 1-14 and temsirolimus IV on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 30 days and then every 3 months thereafter.

In February, the Sun Advocate won the award for general excellence within the newspaper's parent company, Brehm Communications.
Last Saturday night, the Carbon County newspaper came close to winning the same award within the state, missing the honor by a only few points.
From large dailies to monthly journals, newspapers across the state submit entries in January to compete in the Utah Press Association's journalism, layout and advertising competition. The Utah Better Newspaper Contest is comprised of 30 categories.
On March 31, the newspapers capturing the awards were announced during the UPA's winter convention in St. George. Overall, the Sun Advocate won 13 awards in various categories, with four first place finishes.
"It was exciting being there and collecting the awards for the Sun Advocate," said publisher Richard Shaw. "Our paper had done well at our company contest in California in February, but I didn't know what to expect on Saturday night. I thought we might have a chance to win the general excellence award in this competition, too."
Utah's 2006 newspaper contest submissions were judged by the Montana Press Association.
Newspapers competing in the annual UPA contest are divided into four categories.
Classification one includes newspapers with circulations of less than 2,500.
Classification two includes newspapers that have circulations between 2,500 and 5,999.
Classification three includes newspapers that have circulations of more than 6,000.
Utah's daily newspapers compete in classification four in the statewide contest.
The Sun Advocate falls into classification two of the statewide competition.
The best newspapers in the groups are determined by the total number of points received by the publications in the 30 different categories. Newspapers receive points for placing first, second and third in the categories.
The Sun Advocate won various places in the following categories:
First place for best feature story.
First place for best editors column.
First place for the best run-of-press advertising campaign.
First place for the best advertising idea.
Second place for the best sports page.
Second place for the best run-of-press advertisement.
Second place for the best news coverage.
Third place for the best classified pages.
Third place for the best use of color in advertising.
Third place for the best lifestyle pages.
Third place for the best general news story.
Third place for the best breaking news story coverage.
"It was almost embarrassing to get up and get so many awards, especially since I also had to pick up the awards for the Emery County Progress as well," commented Shaw. "Between accepting awards for the Progress (which took first place in category one) and the Sun Advocate, I was jumping up and walking to the front of the hall to get an award every time they announced another category."
In addition to the Sun Advocate, Shaw is the publisher for the Emery County Progress.
Shaw attributed the Sun Advocate wins to a strong editorial team at the newspapers as well as a very good advertising and composition department, which designs and builds the ads for customers.
"Our editorial people do an outstanding job of gathering news and photos and then putting the paper together twice each week," said the Sun Advocate publisher. "Good, relevant, timely and community oriented content is what makes a community paper great. It's a great deal of work for them and it takes a lot of hours of dedication to get it done."
The top newspaper in category two was the Wasatch Wave from Heber City. The Wasatch Wave received the same number of first place awards as the Sun Advocate, but had more second place finishes to earn more points.
One of the first place awards the Sun Advocate received was in the area of electronic newspapers.
The Sun Advocate was judged as having the best Web site of any newspaper competing in category two of the statewide contest. However, that first place award does not count in points toward the overall general excellence.
"The Sun Advocate has won its category's general excellence award during three of the last six years. But second is certainly no disappointment to us, especially when competing with such fine papers from around the state," said Shaw. "Now we can work on making both our papers in the Castle Valley area even better."

CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) — The S&P 500 Index is rattling the cage on its latest all-time high.
Against this backdrop, the market technicals continue to support a bullish market view. The charts below add color:
Before detailing the U.S. markets' wider view, the S&P 500's hourly chart highlights the past two weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P is rattling the cage on its range top.
Its all-time high — established on March 21 — rests at 1,883.97, and the index has challenged this area in Tuesday's early action. (The S&P's all-time closing high rests at 1,878.04.)
Meanwhile, the Dow industrials' near-term backdrop is similar.
Here again, the index has rallied to its range top, closing Monday at 16,457.
Tuesday's strong start positions the Dow to retest its all-time high of 16,588.
And the Nasdaq Composite's near-term backdrop is markedly weaker.
Nonetheless, the index has rallied to first resistance — the Nasdaq 4,200 area — clearing this area in Tuesday's early action.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
On this wider view, two technical hurdles should be familiar. Specifically:
- The Nasdaq's 50-day moving average, currently 4,222.
- Resistance at the former breakout point of 4,246.
Against this backdrop, the Nasdaq has notched four consecutive closes under its 50-day moving average. It hasn't notched more than five straight lower closes since December 2012.
Moving to the Dow, the blue-chip benchmark closed March at 16,457 marking a nominal two-month closing high.
Its slight break higher opens the path to more significant overhead. Specifically:
- Resistance at the Dow's all-time closing high of 16,576.66.
- The Dow's absolute all-time high of 16,588.25.
Based on today's backdrop, an eventual breakout is likely. The index has staged a bullish V-shaped reversal, and the March selling pressure was limited.
And the S&P 500's backdrop highlights the headline technical test.
Significant resistance spans from 1,878 to 1,884 — matching its all-time high — and a break from this area would place the S&P in uncharted territory.
The bigger picture
Broadly speaking, the U.S. markets' technical backdrop remains bullish.
Nonetheless, each major benchmark has diverged — they're acting differently — and it's worth quickly revisiting the cross currents.
On a scale of 1 to 10, the Dow industrials' backdrop is in the ballpark of a seven.
The index notched a two-month closing high to conclude the first quarter, and holds well within striking distance of record territory. Moreover, the March consolidation phase has been orderly, despite Fed-related concerns, and geopolitical tensions.
Significant resistance spans from 16,576 to 16,588, detailed previously.
Moving to the Nasdaq, its technical backdrop is weaker.
Significant resistance spans from 4,222 to 4,246, and a close atop this area would strengthen the bull case.

Daisuke Matsuzaka talking with Mets, Indians and Marlins
Daisuke Matsuzaka is now talking with the Mets, Indians and Marlins, though other teams have expressed interest in signing him this winter, according to Hochi Shimbun.
9:57 am: Matsuzaka does not have an offer for a minor league contract from the Mets (Carig, Newsday).
9:20 am: A Mets insider disputed the report, "saying he does not believe the organization has spoken with Matsuzaka," ESPN New York later reported.
6:44 am: Naturally, Matsuzaka said he would prefer to sign a big-league contract with incentives. However, it is also likely he ends up signing a minor-league deal. He could also choose to return and pitch in Japan.
According to Matsuzaka, he wanted to return to the Red Sox, but that no longer seems possible.
Matsuzaka struggled after returning from Tommy John surgery in 2012, going a 1-7 with an 8.28 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 11 starts for the Red Sox.
He told the Japanese newspaper that his elbow is "fine," and he will be ready for Spring Training.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I'm always concerned when a player's former team has no interest in bringing him back, especially when we're talking about low-risk, minor-league deals. But, his relationship and history in Boston is so deep and complex, they're decision may have nothing to do with Matsuzaka's ability. Who knows?
That said, I like the idea of the Mets signing Dice-K to a minor-league deal, assuming he'll accept it. The buzz around Matsuzaka is that he wanted to either pitch in San Diego or Japan. However, after pitching in Boston in the A.L. East, he might benefit from moving to a pitcher's park in the National League. He's had a series of bizarre, random injuries. If he's healthy, he's intriguing, plus he'd add a little buzz to this team, which they're clearly missing… among other things.

Police and firemen broke into an office where the man was holed up for around two hours after turning up with a flare gun and a can of petrol which he poured over himself. The man is thought to be a 62-year-old who a decade ago was implicated in a fraud case involving slot machines and who was protesting the state's seizure of some of his assets.

The Missouri House of Representatives passed a nullification bill April 28 prohibiting the enforcement of federal gun grabs within the sovereign borders of the Show Me State.
By a vote of 115-41, state lawmakers approved the Second Amendment Preservation Act (HB 436), with nine Democrats crossing the aisle and voting "aye."
A nearly identical companion bill is currently working its way through the state Senate. It's sponsored by reliable friend of the Constitution, state Senator Brian Nieves.
HB 436, which is sponsored by State Representative Doug Funderburk, was approved by the entire House fewer than 24 hours after passing the first round of approval by the same body. "I think this bill removes the noose the federal government has been gradually putting around the necks of its citizens and pulling it tighter, and tighter, and tighter," Funderburk said immediately before his bill was voted on by his colleagues.
While their elected representatives debated the matter inside the House chamber, 300 Missourians gathered inside the rotunda of the state capitol building to demonstrate support for the measure.
During the deliberations, a handful of pro-Second Amendment representatives ducked out of the chamber to speak to the crowd. "I was part of the Republican majority that gave Missourians the right to carry-conceal by overriding Governor [Bob] Holden's veto," Senate President Pro-tem Tom Dempsey (R-St. Charles) informed the throng. "I'm part of the Republican majority that's gonna protect that right from federal overreach and an apathetic [Governor Jay] Nixon administration."
The bill, in very plain terms, does just that: It informs Washington that Missouri will not surrender her sovereign right to reject unconstitutional federal acts and will guard her citizens' right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. Quoting the fathers of nullification — Thomas Jefferson (Kentucky Resolution) and James Madison (The Federalist, No. 45) — Section 2 of the bill ably and accurately lays out the legal and constitutional case supporting Missouri's position:

There's little that's intelligent or informed about Time magazine editor Richard Stengel's article "One Document, Under Siege" (June 23, 2011). It contains many grossly ignorant statements about our Constitution. If I believed in conspiracies, I'd say Stengel's article is part of a leftist agenda to undermine respect for the founding values of our nation.
Stengel says: "The framers were not gods and were not infallible. Yes, they gave us, and the world, a blueprint for the protection of democratic freedoms — freedom of speech, assembly, religion — but they also gave us the idea that a black person was three-fifths of a human being, that women were not allowed to vote and that South Dakota should have the same number of Senators as California, which is kind of crazy. And I'm not even going to mention the Electoral College."

Legislative Session Ends
On June 23 the Louisiana Legislature adjourned its current session. Three proposed measures with anti-evolution implications died at that point. HCR50 and SB1125 never came up for consideration in their assigned committees. HB1782, forbidding the "printing and distribution of false or fraudulent material" was passed in committee, but tabled on the floor of the House of Representatives. Previous items on this page have further information about these measures.
Sweet 16 for Edwards
June 19, 2003, is the 16th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Edwards v. Aguillard, which ruled that it is unconstitutional to require the teaching of "creation science" in the public schools.
Creationism a topic before standards committee forms
Even before the committee that will draft Minnesota's new science standards has been assembled, creationism has already become news.
WCCO Channel 4 News in the Twin Cities has posted a story on its web site about the drafting of new standards, which mentions the potential upcoming controversy over the science standards.

Naturally trendy?
One difficulty with the notion that the global mean temperature behaves like a random walk is that it then would imply a more unstable system with similar hikes as we now observe throughout our history. However, the indications are that the historical climate has been fairly stable. An even more serious problem with Cohn and Lins' paper as well as the random walk notion is that a hike in the global surface temperature would have physical implications – be it energetic (Stefan-Boltzmann, heat budget) or dynamic (vertical stability, circulation). In fact, one may wonder if an underlying assumption of stochastic behaviour is representative, since after all, the laws of physics seem to rule our universe. On the very microscopical scales, processes obey quantum physics and events are stochastic. Nevertheless, the probability for their position or occurrence is determined by a set of rules (e.g. the Schrödinger's equation). Still, on a macroscopic scale, nature follows a set of physical laws, as a consequence of the way the probabilities are detemined. After all, changes in the global mean temperature of a planet must be consistent with the energy budget.
Is the question of LTP then relevant for testing a planet global temperature for trend? To some degree, all processes involving a trend also exhibit some LTP, and it is also important to ask whether the test by Cohn and Lins involves circular logic: For our system, forcings increase LTP and so an LTP derived from the data, already contains the forcings and is not a measure of the intrinsic LTP of the system. The real issue is the true degrees of freedom – number of truely independent observations – and the question of independent and identically distributed (iid) data. Long-term persistence may imply dependency between adjacent measurements, as slow systems may not have had the time to change appreciably between two successive observations (the same state is more or less observed in the successive measurements). Are there reasons to believe that this is the case for our planet? Predictions for subsequent month or season (seasonal forecasting) is tricky at higher latitudes but reasonably skilful regarding El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, it is extremely difficult to predict ENSO one or more years ahead. The year-to-year fluctuations thus tend to be difficult to predict, suggesting that LTP is not the 'problem' with our climate. On the other hand, there is also the thermal momentum in the oceans which implies that the radiative forcing up to the present time is going has implications for following decades. Thus, in order to be physically consistent, arguing for the presence of LTP also implies an acknowledgement of past radiative forcing in the favour for an enhanced greenhouse effect, since if there were no trend, the oceanic memory would not be very relevant (the short-term effects of ENSO and volcanoes would destroy the LTP).

I had voted my top female mages (Mira, Erza, Lucy, Juvia and Levy) though it was unintentional, I was going choosing from 3 male mages (Gildartz, Loki, Elfman) but in the end, they were...ehrm, overpowered? haha o_o
My top picks on females I was able to vote for:
Top character: Mirajane ^_^ *and my username is such a giveaway^^*
Mirajane. I love how balanced Mira's character is. She's sweet and funny (in a mild way - I'm not a comedy fan) and caring and a bit sisterly/motherly to everyone in the guild, at the same time she's so feminine I must admit I have a girl crush on her ^^. But what I like most is her tough side. She may have avoided duelling in most of the manga, but she's not one to stand on the sidelines and cry either. She holds her own and can be a good leader when needed. She may be sweet but she's not timid - she wasn't afraid to scold even Laxus and Makarov. She's a character with a perfect balance of smiles and sorrows and softness and strength. ♥ ...and don't get me started on how much I love her full body transformation, okay? xDDD
Runner ups: I can't choose between Erza and Lucy.
Erza Scarlet. I don't think there's any need to explain. She's just the awesomest badass character ever. She just doesn't ever give up. I also like her *cough*kinky*cough* side. I'm not a fan of comedy but it's usually the gags about her are the ones that I really enjoy
Lucy Heartfilia. When I started reading FT, I didn't expect to even like Lucy. She seemed a bit too vain, and I thought she'd come out as a selfish character. But with every single chapter, with every little thing we discover about her, about her personality, and with every line...I guess she just grew on me, slowly but steadily She turnd out to be one of the most selfless characters in FT afterall. What I really like about her is that she stood up for the guild and never stopped caring and helping and understanding. Up for Lucy! ^^
...I shall be back for Juvia and Levy. And maybe the male mages as well, if this is still not spamming. D: ..but I really need to sleeep. xDD
Good night! ^_^
My favourite mages (Male)
1. Laxus Dreyar- I really like his character, his style. He may be arrogant but he's not pissing me off. And even though he was like that, he wanted to the guild to be stronger and cared for it. Also, for me Laxus's personality is needed in the guild coz he's the only one who really beats the shit out of anyone who makes fun of FT.
2. Gray Fullbuster- I also like his character and style. Plus, he really makes me laugh. And unlike Natsu, he's not annoying me. Natsu really annoys me sometimes.
3. Natsu Dragneel- Even though he annoys me sometimes and his catchphrase is annoying now, I still like him. His rivalry with Gray is one of the reasons he's one of my favs. and his cute relationship with Lisanna. And I enjoy the gags he makes.
My favourite mages (Female)
1.Mirajane- I really like her. She's so cute and charming. Also, she's cute but terrible. And I like her motherly relationship in the guild. I like it when she was angry at Laxus. I like her face that time. She was trying to make a scary face but couldn't.
2. Erza Scarlet- The most awesome female character I've seen. She's your dream girl. She has everything good personality, beauty, cute face, her kinky and funny side. I also really enjoy the gags about her.
The others are Gildartz, Gajeel, Wendy, Happy, Lisanna and Evergreen.

Natsu- He has a simple personality, cares for his friends and touches girls asses without hesitation.
Erza- Strong, Feminine and Hot(I want some, Gerald can rot in that Cell forever)
Lucy- She is very funny and hot.
Gajeel- Although he was a women beater, he is cool now lets hope he is not a triple agent. How old is he? 19? 20?
Wendy- awww She is cute and little, stop making pairing with her and Mystgun shes just a little girl your sick minded people.
Im surprised with gildarts s high score ^^" must be the obliterating moment he made Natsu cry I suspected Mirajane would end higher tho.
1. Mirajane - She's just lovely. And he Satan Soul is bad ass.
2. Mistgun - Just total ownage.
3. Gildarts - He made Natsu cry.
4. Ultear- Super cool and strong magic.
5. Melody - I like her Maguilty Sodom.
I have at First place a tie between
her magic is funny and entertaining lets face it without her keys FT wouldnt be this funny xD and i also like how there is hinting on how her magic could not only be just her keys (i see magic development coming)
I like her story its the most realistic, and there could be more to her through her mum ^^
Fire is one of my fav. elements and plus dragons (i <3 mythology) so hes a given fav.
Natsu history is mysterious and interesting my kind of character xD
Erza is second
so many cool armor, such a dramatic past and awesome Erzaxjellal relationship ^^ sad but amazing me loves it
Third is Jellal
I find him an interesting fellow whose story is intiguing and magic is tres powerful and cool.
then there are
Wendy - adorable =3 and healing is a very good and needed magic! defense is also imp
Gajeel and levy - together theyre the best i love em
Gildartz - he fought a dragon and made natsu cry 'nough said

Luxus by a longshot. In addition to his fashion sense (love the pimp coat) Luxus is proud of his strength, and he's not afraid to boast about it. He can back up anything he says and he really couldn't care less about what others think of him. [Like someone else we all know.] He does what he wants, when he wants, and given the fact that he took on Mystgun, Erza, Gazille, and Natsu he's definitely worthy of the title of Fairy Tail's strongest.
Luxus!! For everything ZERO PHOENIX said, Luxus is just badass and the next master of Fairy Tail...

Gildarts is "Fairy Tail's strongest." And the last time I checked, he didn't actually beat any of those opponents in the end.Quote:
meh I want to revote .___.
replace natsu with laxus ....
1. Gajeel
He's simply bad ass and I realy like those tough characters. His Iron Scales also remind me a bit of Colossus from X-Men who has always been one of my favorite super heroes. He's also great for comedy sometimes... for example when he's eating some iron he's not supposed to or how he's proud about "His Lilly"... LOL he's treating a fucking Panther Warrior as some kind of Pokemon xD
2. Juvia
This chick is simply awesome. She obviously has some screws loose, which makes her always great for comedy, but at the same time she's a realy kind person you can always count on. I also love her water magic because water element users have always been among my favorites. On top of that when she snaps and gets her "zombie look" even Erza was scared of her... which realy means something lol
3. Erza
I loved her from when I've first seen her in combat. I always see her somewhat as Fairy Tail's version of Roronoa Zoro, which is awesome because such a role is rarely portraied by a female character. She also has some quirks which are once again great for comedy, like when she K.O'ed every person she wanted to interrogate before they could even open their mouth to answer xD
4. Natsu
Yeah come on... how could someone dislike Natsu. His whole personality is just awesome... he's destructive, reckless, short-tempered, completely chaotic and in a few ways even retarded... yet he somehow manages to be a good guy xD
I realy lol'd when during the Oracion Seis Arc they tried to imagine what would happen to Natsu if Nirvana turned him evil only to come to the conclusion that nothing about him would change at all xD
Usually I don't have much interest for fire users because fire magic/abilities are kind of common, which makes me think "ohhh wow... another guy who throws fire balls... how boring". But for Natsu it realy works, his whole red dragon theme is very cool and I just love when he pwn's the villains in some epic way and the image of a red dragon appears behind him... never fails to send a few chills down my spine.
5. Happy
Usually I'am not into such small/cute characters with high pitchy voice, but what can I say? Happy is an exception... which just shows what an awesome character designer Mashima is. Happy's unnecessary comments at the most unusual moments never cease to make me laugh... Aye!
The list could actually go on and on and on because I realy can't think of any characters in Fairy Tail I'd dislike. Wendy, Lucy, Gildarts and even Elfman with his "Manly Comments" on everything or some side characters like Ur are also among my favorites, but I wanted to keep the list short... so yeah... there you have it :P

When I first started reading Fairy Tail I had a lot of issues with the characters, heck caused me to even drop it at one point because I didn't really like anyone outside of Erza. What changed all of that was watching the anime. The anime added in the extra oomph of emotion so you can really feel for the characters and that's what I thought the manga lacked. Now for my choices (To get it out the way now, outside of Gildarts and perhaps Gerard now, I don't like any of the guys).
Erza - Coming off of reading Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece when I first got into this series, Erza was like a blessing because it was the first time I read a shounen series where you have a strong woman as one of the leading characters. To see that she was no damsel was no damsel and can actually hold her own was so refreshing. I could do away with the fanservice, but whatever.
Ultear - Well she's like Erza (minus the whole damsel stuff). A badass woman that's a villain and not some woman that has to flaunt her stuff to show that she got it.
Cana - Honestly, I have no idea why I consider her a favorite, but I do.
Firstly, Jet: Yeah, I know, he's not really a prominent character, but damn his post timeskip design is just cool (as opposed to Droy, but hey, I didn't really like Droy anyway). Also, he seemed capable of getting over Levy in the seven years, if only to fall back into lust when she returned. Also, I like characters involved with speed for some reason, I don't know...
This brings us to Levy: Another of my favourites, and yeah, I'm probably the only one here who doesn't support LevyxGazille, but yeah, I'll eventually have to submit, seems like Hiro Mashima is set on that happening. Right, reasons I like her, she's pretty cute, and unlike most of the other female characters, she doesn't have breasts reaching 30cm from her chest (it works here). Also, she seems pretty smart, and her personality is so upbeat.
Mystogan: Need I really explain this, he's just so frickin' badass. No more need be said on the matter
Laxus: Redemption seems like a pretty big theme in FT. Gazille, Luvia, and Laxus (and to a lesser extent, his lackeys) have all been redeemed in the eyes of FT, and in our own eyes. That's pretty cool in my opinion. Plus, lightning!!
Gazille: Kind of like Natsu, but also different. I really have no idea how he sees Levy (I keep going back to this, sorry)
Last one, Alzack Cornell (the gunslinger guy): I like how he's so devoted to Bisca, also, his magic is pretty cool.
I could go on, but those who decided to read this are probably tired by now, and I could say something about every character, they all have their good points, and it shows that Mashima put considerable time into each and every one of them.
Also, I only just started reading FT a few weeks ago, so maybe that's why I'm so hyped up right now. But still, much awesomeness, and it always seems to throw a (metaphorical) curveball when I least expect it.
1. Lucy
At first, I thought I'm not going to like her. My calculations were wrong. She's like a breath of fresh air. Not that she's unique (talking about manga in general), but I like that stuff around her never is serious. She's nice and funny.. ..and I appreciate it when she keeps as many pieces of clothes on as possible.
2.-10. (no particular order)
Gray, Juvia, Gajeel, Jellal/Mystogan, Gil, Laxus, Loki, Freed, the daughter of Bisca and Alzac ()
Then, the rest minus one XD

Comments: By far my favorite soft plastic jerk bait. It can be "glide waked" on the surface unlike any other. Caught my all of my personal best with these!
From: 870frenzybass: Lakeview, AR 5/9/15
Comments: This jerkbait is often overlooked and it can be really killer. It is super soft and sinks very slowly when it's unweighted. I like fishing them when the water's cold or the fish are lazy. I like using white and the red shad (which isn't available from TW unfortunately) on 5/0 EWG hook and just twitching it back really really slow.
From: James: TX 1/29/15
Comments: These are great jerkbaits. Catch any predator fish from bass to redfish. Wish tacklewarehouse carried more of the colors especially the new ones with chartreuse tails like chicken on a chain and slammin chicken.

How to properly clean your Chacos
We are not chemists nor rocket scientists, but we wear our Chacos constantly, and we know what works and what doesn't. We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

Comments about Chaco Sandals Arbora Tall WTPF Nurl Boot (Women's):
With the comfortable Chaco foot bed, I can wear these boots around all day with out any discomfort. The pulled "fur" lines the entire inside of the boot (except the foot bed), which makes this boot super warm! The sole has great traction on it and the leather portion that surrounds your entire foot, make it great for wearing during wet conditions. However, the entire boot is not waterproofed. I wear them over a pair of my favorite jeans and I'm ready to run errands or hang out with friends.

CONYERS, Ga. (WXIA) - This is an incredible story that sounds like something from Dickens' "Oliver Twist."
A Rockdale County mother is accused of using her own 5-year-old son to help burglarize her next door neighbor's home.
"I just couldn't believe it; I mean, it was unreal; I was so shocked," the burglary victim told 11Alive News on Friday.
The woman, who doesn't want to be publicly identified, said she installed a small computer surveillance camera around Thanksgiving after noticing things missing from her home a few weeks ago.
"I would come home in the evenings and things would not be where they were," the victim said.
Then last Sunday she noticed the camera and some other items were missing.
But her computer still contained several photos that shocked her.
It showed a child, wearing footie pajamas, crawling through a small doggie door in the back of her home, then unlocking a back door next to it and letting an adult woman in.

Lecture Overview
Cells reproduce by duplicating their chromosomes and other components and then distributing them into a pair of genetically identical daughter cells. This series of events is called the cell cycle. In the first part of this lecture, I provide a general overview of the cell-cycle control system, a complex regulatory network that guides the cell through the steps of cell division. I briefly describe the major components of this regulatory system and how they fit together to form a series of biochemical switches that trigger cell-cycle events at the correct time and in the correct order.

Reviews for Tasty Chicken Noodle Casserole
Sort By :
"My 4 year old and I enjoyed this, picky 7 year old was not so keen, but he did eat it. I cut the recipe in half, except that I made the full amount of pasta and veggies. The cheese sauce could probably have used some other kind of cheese, I might add mozzarella or parm next time."
"I enjoyed this recipe. Although I'm sure there is a typo in it. 2 cups of chicken is enough."
"This is tasy but I didn't realize how much it made....I had to freeze some in singles sized ramekins. It's lots of prep work so it's not a weeknight venture."
"I followed the recipe except that I added some frozen peas. I cut the recipe in half and still had enough left over to freeze for another two meals. We both thought it was very good, and I think it was even better the next day."
"Very easy to make and was a hit. Def. needs the salt I usually do not put salt in dishes I make. I used Fettuccine Noodles because those are my favorite and I think next time I am going to add a little hot sauce."

- How to Read a Study Record
The Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) was recently developed as a durable, portable, and "field-hardened" NeuroCognitive Assessment Tool. The purpose of this study is to compare the sensitivity of the DANA Brief exam with the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM) battery currently used by the military after concussion. The primary hypothesis is that the DANA Brief exam will be more sensitive for detecting continued impaired cognitive performance than the ANAM during recovery after a concussion.

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Non-concussed
Control group; individuals assigned to this group will be either healthy volunteers or individuals sustaining an injury that does not involve concussion. Participants will take both the ANAM and DANA Brief twice at minimum.
Device: DANA Brief
The DANA Brief is a newly-developed neurocognitive test administered on a handheld computer that tests simple reaction time, procedural reaction time, code substitution, and spatial processing. The test also includes subtests for depression/distress, PTSD, and insomnia.Other: ANAM
The ANAM is a currently used test by military health care providers in evaluating cognitive performance after concussion.
Experimental: Concussed
Individuals who have been diagnosed with a concussion by a clinician. Participants will take both the DANA and ANAM twice at minimum.
Device: DANA Brief
The DANA Brief is a newly-developed neurocognitive test administered on a handheld computer that tests simple reaction time, procedural reaction time, code substitution, and spatial processing. The test also includes subtests for depression/distress, PTSD, and insomnia.Other: ANAM
The ANAM is a currently used test by military health care providers in evaluating cognitive performance after concussion.
Detailed Description:
Among active duty military personnel deployed to combat theaters, blast injury is a leading cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Service members with TBI can experience notable neurological impairments-e.g., attention disturbances, memory and language deficits, and delayed reaction time. Cognitive performance can still be impaired 2-4 weeks after concussion with no overt physical symptoms. Thus, there is a critical need to have an efficient means to determine the incidence of cognitive deficits in service members exposed to or injured by blasts. To that end, this study plans to evaluate the ANAM and the DANA to determine which neurocognitive test more reliably and accurately detects cognitive impairments during the recovery period from a concussion.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 60 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Active-duty U.S. military service members
- Clinical diagnosis of concussion/mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) (as defined by the American Congress of Rehabilitation, 1993, and DoD), made by the treating clinician based on clinical history, examination and/or clinical imaging performed as part of standard of care. This includes subjects with concussion from any mechanism (blast-related, blunt trauma etc.)--for concussed subjects only
- Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15 as assessed by the consenting research staff--for concussed subjects only
- Concussive event that occurred within 72 hours of injury (to exclude service members presenting due to lingering effects of a previous injury)--for concussed subjects only
- Willingness to participate in the study, ability to communicate and comply with the study protocol and ability to provide informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have a history of other mTBI within 90 days, moderate brain injury within the past 3 years, or any lifetime history of severe brain injury

As I sat and listened to the meeting concerning the controversy over the property in the Balotas Subdivision on Thursday night, I realized how lucky we are to have some of the officials leading our county that do.
Now this is the political season, and I'm in no way endorsing anyone at all. Every governmental agency has its good people and bad. Carbon is not different.
But watching our county commissioners speak about the process that had taken place to get the Scofield/Bureau of Reclamation problem negotiations to a point where at least there was something to salvage was at the least a heartening thing, despite the fact that so many people in the audience would have to come up with money to keep their cabins and other structures in their family.
Patrick Painter, the representative from District 67 which represents the western part of Carbon County (basically Carbonville west) said it best when he was talking about the job the commissioners had done on this situation.
"The commission you have in Carbon County is the real deal," he said. "They have been fully engaged in this process. Many commissions around this state would have said in this same situation, 'This is a private matter. You take the feds to court yourself.'"
I have never met a public official that I have completely agreed with on every issue. At times in the 10 years I have either covered or followed the commission through this paper I have had heartburn over things they have done.
But not once in my years working with these guys have I ever felt their were insincere in what they thought was right.
In this case they, along with some other people from the county who were on the negotiation committee, faced a formidible task. They said publically at the meeting that the BOR negotiating team had been pretty rigid until the governor got involved.
But knowing these guys and those who were with them, I think they had accomplished a lot more than they admitted by the time the statehouse got involved.
It's nice to know that these men are out their fighting for Carbon County whether it be on land issues, the proposed Gooseberry Project or to protect our energy resources.
It's easy to nitpik officials to death. It's easy to disagree with them sometimes. But I honestly believe our commission has no equal in the state when it comes to caring about the people that live in their county.

ANTWERP – Repairs will start next month on the villages wastewater treatment plant, which is on its last legs and has been in jeopardy of failing since 2010.
Contracts were awarded for the $3.8 million project by the village Board of Trustees in June to complete improvements at the plant. Work on the Main Street plant will include the installation of two new rotating biological contactors used to treat water and a connected treatment and chemical storage building at which sand filters will treat water. The project is expected to be completed by next spring, Village Clerk Amy Cole said.
Antwerp officials began planning the project in the summer of 2010 when one of the biological units failed. Because it could not fund the project independently, the village has spent the past three years applying for state and federal funding. In December, the village secured a $3.27 million loan from the state Environmental Facilities Corp., to be paid back over 30 years with no interest. In addition, it acquired two grants totaling $750,000 from the U.S. Department of Agricultures Rural Development Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant Program.
Continental Construction Co., Gouverneur, was named the general contractor for the project with a bid of $1,482,026. Dow Electric, Malone, will complete electrical work for $207,579.
The additional treatment building to be constructed, which wasnt included in the projects original design, was required by the state Department of Environmental Conservation for the village to meet guidelines for phosphorous contained in treated water, Mrs. Cole said. DEC, which inspected the plant in July, informed the village that phosphorous in treated water exceeded newly established requirements. By including the treatment building, she said, the $1.8 million original cost of the project was roughly doubled.
To operate the upgraded plant, the villages two full-time plant operators will have to complete training to upgrade their Class 1 licenses to Class 2.
Village residents began paying higher quarterly sewer rates in the fiscal year 2012 to fund the project, Mrs. Cole said. The average households sewer bill was raised from $41.65 to $54.67 per quarter. She said that rate should remain relatively stable as the project is paid off by residents over the next three decades. The village has a population of 1,846, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.
We may have a small bump in the rate, but were really not sure because we dont have hard numbers yet for the actual project costs, Mrs. Cole said. The grant funding has helped bring down costs, but we had to move forward with the project whether we had it or not.

For most of my life I would consider myself a traditional motorsports fan. Formula 1, Indy cars, and sportscars made up the bulk of the racing I kept up with both on television and in person. Like many, I viewed racing as who goes the fastest over a set distance or period of time.
Over the past dozen or so years drifting, a sport that originated in Japan, has gained more and more traction in the United States while attracting a younger audience than more traditional motorsports. As is often the case when new trends emerge, the traditional motorsports fan scoffed at this new form of competition. Many didn't like the fact that the winners are determined based on a judging criteria rather than being the first across a finish line, or that driving technique is more important than out-and-out speed.
Global Time Attack returns to Road Atlanta to kick off the 2013 GTA Pro Championship series at Drift Atlanta with Formula Drift. Road Atlanta's Drift Atlanta event featuring Formula DRIFT consistently draws crowds well over 20,000 Motorsport fans! This is the largest attended time attack event in the country! Last year the Global Time Attack field was comprised of 24 time attack teams and Jeff Westphal stood out with a record- breaking lap of 1:23.628 in the GST Motorsports 2006 Subaru Impreza L. Who will beat this time in 2013? We have already confirmed a few entries from teams in California, Arizona, and even Canada that are making the trip to Road Atlanta for Global Time Attack.
Attention race fans! Road Atlanta is holding a contest to find the person who can design the most creative Drift Atlanta logo. We are looking for a unique and exciting logo with a new twist to use as the icon for this event! All submissions must be turned in via e-mail to by January 14th at 5pm. Provide your first and last name, street address, no post office boxes, city, state, zip code, telephone number and email address.

Designed to only shock and immobilize, but are Tasers really safe?
Reporter: Claire Doan
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) – The Pima County Medical Examiners Office is performing an autopsy on the man who died moments after an officer tased him twice. Tucson police said he was argumentative and confrontational, but the incident still calls into question the use of electrical stun guns: Are they safe?
A Taser shoots an electrical pulse designed to go through clothing to give someone a shock, with the low amperage minimizing long-term harm. But some claim that Tasers can be deadly.
46-year-old Michael Carbone died in police custody, moments after an officer tased him twice responding to a domestic abuse call. However, Dr. Gregory Hess, Pima County's Chief Medical Examiner, told 9OYS it would be tough to blame a stun gun solely and directly for someone's death.
"At least in the laboratory, nobody has died from my knowledge from being struck with a Taser or having a Taser used on them. The problem in real life is that there's usually a combination of things going on involving these deaths," Hess explained.
Those factors include an existing heart condition or drugs, which TPD says Carbone might have had in his system. Both can cause an abnormal heartbeat – or arythmia – which is also why someone would die after a shock from a stun gun.
In November 2011, 43-year-old Henry Fung collapsed from what doctors believe was a heart attack. The officer's death was mere days after he was tased during police training, but the medical examiner completely ruled that out as a cause of death.
ACLU recommends that police use stun guns sparingly because of what it says is the possible danger involved.
"Tasers are potentially deadly weapons that can cause serious physical injuries and even death. That's why we believe they should be used only during life-threatening situations," said Alessandra Soler Meetz, Executive Director of the ACLU of Arizona.
However, Taser International, the maker of these devices, maintains: "Taser technology has proven to reduce excessive use-of-force claims and these highly publicized cases represent a small percentage of arrests where it has saved numerous lives."
No so, said Amnesty International, citing 500 deaths in the United States since 2001 of people who were tased. Coroners listed stun gun shocks as a factor in 20 deaths during the same period.
9OYS asked Hes whether there is a way to definitively say that Taser is a cause of death.
"Well, if you had someone hooked up to EKG leads to monitor their heartbeat and they were tased immediately and went into arrhythmia, which they couldn't recover from, then it would be pretty clear," Hess said, adding that that he believes tasers are safe.
A recent ACLU study found that few Arizona police departments collect comprehensive data about Taser use. It also found that nearly half the agencies in the statewide study rely solely on Taser International's training manual, rather than create their own.
