"Live like a king. Die like a man."
Once upon a time in the middle of a deep dark factory, an average Joe lived a very boring life until one day he found out his life was over...and that's when his adventure began.
Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Ossie Davis, Abe Vigoda, and Nathan Lane in an adventure romantic comedy with shopping montages, shipwrecks and references to Fritz Lang and Georges Méliès. JOE VS. THE VOLCANO could quite possibly be the perfect movie.
It's a movie unlike anything you've seen before, it's a movie that takes chances. It's at times dark, bleak, full of wonder, spectacular wit, insane turns and heart bursting romance. This is a movie that takes you on an adventure and makes you giddy with the excitement of what could come next. It lives in it's own world and creates it's own rules and makes you believe in fantasy again.
It takes Joe to learn he is dying before finding out how to live and appreciate life, but thankfully Academy Award winner John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck) has provided you with 100-minutes of cinematic bliss to remind you how good life can be without all the terminal illness to bog you down. Lift that brain-cloud from your life and set sail for high adventure in 35mm with plenty of orange soda for all. BANGARANG! (Greg MacLennan)

Spellman Lake Waterfowl Production Area
Yellow Medicine County, Minn.
The Spellman Lake Waterfowl Production Area is located in Yellow Medicine County and is managed by the Morris Wetland Management District. The Morris Wetland Management District manages 244 waterfowl production areas covering more than 51,000 acres in the Minnesota counties of Big Stone, Chippewa, Lac Qui Parle, Pope, Stevens, Swift, Traverse and Yellow Medicine. For more information about Spellman Lake, or any other waterfowl production area in the Morris Wetland Management District visit their Web site at http://midwest.fws.gov/morris or by calling them at 320-589-1001.
Information about the Minnesota DNR boat landing or the nearby Spellman Lake WMA can be found by calling the Minnesota DNR office at 507-537-6250.
Spellman Lake Waterfowl Production Area covers approximately 393 acres, plus two shallow lakes, approximately 7 miles west of Hanley Falls, Minn. Spellman Lake has a good variety of habitat, including upland grass, seasonal wetlands, wetlands, tree belts and food plots. The two lakes are meandered – meaning under state control – so, not officially part of the waterfowl production area. However, they are open to public access for hunting and other recreation.
The waterfowl production area is open for hunting in accordance with all Minnesota hunting regulations. An additional requirement for all waterfowl production areas is that non-toxic shot must be used in shotguns for ALL hunting. The use, or possession, of any shotgun shells that are not listed as a federally-approved non-toxic shot is illegal on all waterfowl production areas.
Finding the WPA:
From the south, follow County Road 2 to County Road 8 north. Stay on County Road 8 traveling north for approximately two miles (you will enter the WPA) then follow 455th Street north (this is the eastern boundary of the WPA) around to parking lot on the north end of the WPA.
There is a Minnesota DNR boat access on the western side of the upper lake. This is accessible by local township roads. Parking is available at the boat launch.
Respect private property:
Hunting opportunities:
Good pheasant hunting can be found throughout the waterfowl production area. Marsh edges, grassland around the old building site and areas around the food plot along the northern side of the lower lake can be particularly productive.
White-tailed deer are also found throughout the waterfowl production area. Permanent stands or blinds are not allowed. The use of nails, wire, screws, or bolts to attach a stand to a tree or hunting from a tree into which a metal object has been driven to support a hunter is also prohibited. Portable or temporary hunting blinds or stands are permitted, but must be removed at the end of each day's hunt.
Please act responsibly
Follow good hunting courtesy, safety rules and ethics. If one WPA is saturated with hunters, try another. Never hesitate to stop hunting short of a limit. Concentrate on taking only drakes; increasing hen numbers improve the prospect of higher waterfowl production for years to come. Report violators! They are detrimental to all and are a threat to the future of hunting. Pick up your empty shotshells and remove any trash you find as you enjoy your hunt. Return often, and bring a friend, to enjoy the outdoor wonders waterfowl production areas offer to everyone.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System, which encompasses 548 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas and other special management areas. It also operates 69 national fish hatcheries, 63 Fish and Wildlife Management offices and 81 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance program, which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.

Video: Connecticut School Shooting Saturday Investigation
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut state police say multiple 30-round magazines and hundreds of bullets were found at the elementary school where 26 were killed.
State Police Lt. Paul Vance also said Sunday that authorities have officially identified the gunman in the school rampage as Adam Lanza. They say his mother, Nancy, as was one of his victims.
Residents of Newtown are preparing for a visit by President Barack Obama. He is scheduled to attend an interfaith vigil in the evening.
The shooting is the largest massacre of school-age children in U.S. history.
A medical examiner says all the victims of the Connecticut school shooting were killed up close by multiple rifle shots.
Dr. H. Wayne Carver said at a news conference Saturday the deaths are classified as homicides. He says he believes "everybody was hit more than once."
Photo Gallery: Connecticut School Shooting
Friday's massacre of 26 children and adults at the elementary school has elicited horror and soul-searching around the world.
Investigators are trying to learn more about 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza. They've questioned his older brother, who's not believed to have been involved in the rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary in prosperous Newtown, 60 miles northeast of New York City.
Hundreds of people in the tight-knit community packed a church Friday in a vigil for the victims, including 20 children. Monsignor Robert Weiss says these were "just beautiful, beautiful children."
Town officials in Connecticut say the principal who died in the rampage at an elementary school was killed while lunging at the gunman as she tried to overtake him.
Dawn Hochsprung was gunned down in Friday's massacre in Newtown. Board of Education chairwoman Debbie Liedlien says administrators were coming out of a meeting when the gunman forced his way into the school and ran toward him.
Jeff Capeci is chairman of the town's Legislative Council. Asked whether Hochsprung is a hero, he says, "From what we know, it's hard to classify her as anything else."
Hochsprung had worked at the school for two years. Both Liedlien and Capeci say she immediately became a beloved figure. Liedlien says "it's so sad to lose somebody like her" and that residents are feeling "a deep sense of loss" over her death.
Peter Lanza, the father of 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who shot to death his mother in their home and then slaughtered 26 people in an elementary school before killing himself, issued the following statement Saturday:
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones and to all those who were injured. Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy. No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can. We too are asking why. We have cooperated fully with law enforcement and will continue to do so. Like so many of you, we are saddened, but struggling to make sense of what has transpired."
Relatives of a Connecticut woman fatally shot by her son before he killed 26 people at a school then killed himself say in a statement that they share the grief of the Newtown community and the nation.
A sheriff in New Hampshire, where Nancy Lanza once lived, read the statement Saturday, saying the family is trying to understand "the tremendous loss." Rockingham County Sheriff Michael Downing said Lanza's brother James Champion, a retired police captain in Kingston, N.H., and other relatives express their "heartfelt sorrow" and "the whole family is traumatized by this event."
Champion would not discuss what might have triggered his nephew to go on the shooting spree.
Nancy Lanza's family described her as kind, loving and considerate. She was once a stockbroker for John Hancock in Boston.
An official says the gunman in the Connecticut school shooting had Asperger's syndrome, but experts say there's no connection between the disorder and violent behavior.
Asperger's is a mild form of autism often characterized by social awkwardness.
A law enforcement official says Adam Lanza had been diagnosed with Asperger's. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the unfolding investigation.
Columbus, Ohio, psychologist Eric Butter says research suggests people with autism have a higher rate of aggressive behavior than the general population. He says this includes outbursts, shoving or angry shouting, but typically does not include planned, intentional violence.
High school classmates say Lanza was bright but painfully shy, anxious and a loner. Butter says those characteristics are consistent with Asperger's.

Participatory Mapping
Participatory mapping plays an essential role in JGI conservation initiatives, recording local perspectives and knowledge of landscapes and land uses and values. Through this process the complex interrelations between people and the places they live are brought to life in a view that incorporates socio-economic perspectives along with ecological ones. The common understanding that results allows communities to plan more effectively and take precious natural resources and habitats into consideration.
Participatory mapping provides the common language and mechanisms that integrate traditional and scientific knowledge into a single communal view. In communities where JGI works, local people may often have limited experience reading maps but are easily able to participate thanks to the visual interpretation made possible by detailed satellite imagery. Villagers recognize geographic features on 1-m satellite imagery prints locating familiar locations on the ground such as a school or their houses. Travelling "mentally" though the imagery to locate other land features, they are able to map small streams, forest patches, footpaths and bridges; oil palm, banana and cassava fields; and worship places such as churches, mosques and even traditional belief places represented by sacred trees, stones and waterfalls.
Recognizing the importance of local, indigenous knowledge in the development and implementation of conservation and development projects, JGI has made participation with local villages a focal point of its efforts. Participatory mapping is the starting point for many projects, providing the foundation of shared knowledge from which to build.
This work is integral to the following JGI programs in Africa:

Holly Madison has big plans after giving birth ... she's going to eat her placenta!
And while it sounds unconventional, it's a relatively common practice for new moms.
The former Playboy model shared the news on Wednesday writing on her blog, "This might sound gross, but I'm totally planning on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth."
She also attached a picture of the placenta pills, adding "I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can!"
The 33-year-old is set to give birth March 5.
Holly's not the first celeb to consume placenta pills though. "Mad Men" star January Jones has also admitted to trying the off-sounding practice when she gave birth to her son Xander in 2011.
Jones told Britain's Glamour, "It's a very civilized thing that can help women with depression or fatigue. I was never depressed or sad or down after the baby was born, so I'd highly suggest it to any pregnant woman."

Studies on Abnormal Bone From Patients With Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia and McCune Albright Syndrome
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will investigate how a gene mutation (change in DNA) causes the abnormal bone in fibrous dysplasia-a condition in which areas of normal bone are replaced with a fibrous growth similar to a scar. The bone abnormalities in fibrous dysplasia can occur in a single bone (monostotic fibrous dysplasia), multiple bones (polyostotic fibrous dysplasia), or in McCune Albright syndrome, in which there are associated glandular abnormalities. This study will also examine calcinosis samples that have been surgically removed from patients with juvenile dermatomyositis.
Patients who are scheduled to have orthopedic surgery for treatment of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia may participate in this study. A small sample of bone tissue removed during surgery will be given to investigators in this study for research tests. DNA will be extracted from the tissue and tested for the mutation. Investigators will attempt to grow cells from the sample in the laboratory to evaluate them for their ability to grow and make proteins that normal bone cells make. These tests are designed to help scientists understand how the mutation leads to abnormal bone formation and provide information that might lead to better treatments for fibrous dysplasia. Patients with juvenile Dermatomyositis who have a calcinosis sample surgically removed are also eligible for participation. The removed tissues will be examined for their composition and microscopic appearance, to better understand the pathogenesis of dystrophic calcification in this disease.
Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Studies on Tissues From Patients With Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone/McCune-Albright Syndrome and Other Disorders of Calcified Tissues
|Study Start Date:
|December 1996
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2008
Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) is a sporadic disorder in which multiple sites of bone are replaced by abnormal fibrous tissue. PFD may occur alone or as part of the McCune Albright syndrome (MAS). We have previously identified a somatic activating mutation in the gene encoding the alpha-subunit of Gs, the G protein which mediates the action of hormones that work by increasing intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), in affected tissues from patients with PFD and MAS. The objectives of this study are to determine how activating mutations of the Gs alpha-subunit lead to the changes of PFD, and to determine if interventions that block the biochemical effects of the activating mutation in in vitro and in vivo animal model systems could prevent some of the cellular changes characteristic of PFD. To carry out these studies, we plan to obtain pathologic bone tissue from patients with either isolated PFD or PFD in the context of MAS. In one phase of the study, archival pathology specimens of affected bone will be retrospectively analyzed using a variety of immunohistochemical techniques. In the second phase of the study, specimens of affected bone will be obtained prospectively from patients undergoing clinically indicated orthopedic procedures. Specimens will be placed in primary culture, cultured cells will be analyzed for the Gs alpha-subunit activating mutation, and the mutant-bearing cells will be studied by a variety of cell biologic and pharmacologic techniques.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
All patients who are scheduled to have orthopedic surgery for treatment of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD).
Tissue will only be obtained from those patients in whom the procedure is clinically indicated for standard reasons such as treatment of or prevention of fractures, or disfigurement resulting from abnormal growth of facial and/ or skull bones.
The diagnosis of PFD will have been established by standard radiologic criteria and in patients with McCune Albright syndrome (MAS), also by the characteristic skin and endocrine manifestations associated with that form of the disease.
Patients meeting criteria for juvenile dermatomyositis who undergo surgical removal of calcinosis are eligible. The tissue from surgery would be used in the research study.

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
"Oophorectomy" is the removal of the ovaries to treat or prevent ovarian cancer or other ovarian abnormalities.
"Prophylactic oophorectomy" refers to the removal of healthy ovaries in women who have an elevated risk for ovarian cancer. Women with elevated hereditary risk for ovarian cancer also have an elevated risk for fallopian tube cancer. For this reason, when their ovaries are removed prophylactically, the fallopian tubes must also be removed.
"Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy" (BSO) refers to the surgical removal of both ovaries and both tubes. In women at increased risk for ovarian cancer, bilateral prophylactic oophorectomy has been shown to be a highly effective tool to lower the risk for both ovarian cancer and breast cancer.
After prophylactic oophorectomy, there is still a small risk for developing cancer of the "peritoneum," which is the lining of the abdomen. This type of cancer, called "primary peritoneal cancer," is related to ovarian cancer. Although the risk remains, it is quite small. Currently there is no proven method of preventing or screening for primary peritoneal cancer.
Previously, all ovarian cancers were believed to develop in the lining of the ovary as a result of the constant rupture and repair process during ovulation. New research, however, suggests that many ovarian cancers in BRCA gene mutation carriers may actually start in the distal fallopian tube (part of the tube closest to the ovary), causing researchers to question whether salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) might reduce ovarian cancer risk.
Current expert guidelines recommend that women with BRCA mutations undergo bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes) between the ages of 35 - 40 or after childbearing is completed. This surgery has been shown through research to improve survival in mutation carriers. However, the surgery also causes immediate surgical menopause, which can be accompanied by short and long-term side effects and health consequences.
New research suggests that some ovarian cancers may actual begin in the fallopian tube research. Some experts have proposed that "interval salpingectomy"—removing the fallopian tubes and leaving the ovaries intact until after natural menopause—might lower risk for ovarian cancer in high-risk women while avoiding the negative side effects and long-term health consequences associated with oophorectomy at a young age. After menopause women would then undergo a second procedure to remove their ovaries.
The decision to undergo prophylactic surgically is highly personal. Confronting your personal cancer risk can be confusing and frustrating. Therefore, it is important to consult with experts in genetics and gynecologic oncology when determining your risk for ovarian cancer and making the risk-management decisions that are best for you.

Drexel University Libraries Contributes Two Cultural Pieces to Regional Diaries Initiative
Did you know about the ceiling of the Great Court in 1891?
The Donning of Dinks at Drexel
When did the blue and gold dinks first officially make their appearance at Drexel? An 1938 article from The Triangle, pictured below, announces the Inter-fraternity Council's plan to require all fraternity freshmen "wear dinks of the same make, color and design."
This Just In: A.J. Drexel on the cover of Harpers Weekly magazine
Recently the Archives received a donation from alumnus Richard W. Young ('54): two framed pages from the January 2, 1892 issue of Harper's Weekly. The pages hung for forty years in the office that Mr. Young shared with his late wife Elizabeth Hansen Young ('52).
The Drexel Institute was dedicated on December 17, 1891, just two weeks before this issue of Harper's appeared. The magazine demonstrates how the opening of Mr. Drexel's bold new school captured national attention. An interior page of the magazine features illustrations of the Great Court in the Main Building. Here's the two items hanging in the University Archives in Hagerty Library.
Normally, archival preservation requires that works on paper be stored in a drawer or box, away from damaging light. However, Mr. Young urged us to display the pieces where they can be seen and enjoyed by the Drexel community. For that reason, we've hung them in the Archives reading room, where they can be seen but have limited exposure to light. So please stop by the Archives and take a look at these pieces of history.
A time capsule underneath Disque Hall
Recently, the Archives was alerted to the discovery of a time capsule placed underneath Disque Hall at its dedication 47 years ago. Unfortunately, the capsule was discovered inadvertently during the construction of the new Perelman Plaza and was crushed. Water soaked the contents of the capsule, which included copies of the Triangle, the Bulletin (course catalog) and the Drexel Technical Journal, pictured below. Fortunately, copies of these items were already preserved in the University Archives. In fact, you can read the June 2, 1967 issue of the Triangle that was in the time capsule in the Libraries' digitized Triangle collection.
The capsule also contained President Hagerty's remarks at the dedication ceremony on May 26, 1967 – a copy of which also exists in the Archives. See the two versions side by side below -- the copy on the left was stored in the time capsule, while the copy on the right has been kept in secure, climate-controlled storage. The lesson is that depositing your important documents, photographs and objects in the University Archives is a much safer way to preserve them than burying them in a metal box in the ground.

Ange Small Carabiner
Out of Stock Product Number: 25697
The new generation Ange Small carabiner represents the middle ground between the traditional gate carabiner and the classic wire gate carabiner. It combines the fluidity of the spring gate with the lightness of the wire gate system. Petzl's MonoFil Keylock technology and the H-profile make the Ange Small carabiner weigh an ultra-light 28 grams and provide an optimal weight/strength ratio. So it is particularly suitable for users looking to reduce their weight to a minimum. The shape of the nose is designed to optimize clipping and unclipping.
- The ANGE S carabiner is ultra-light (28 g) and compact: it is ideal for mountaineering and multi-pitch climbing where weight reduction is key
- Petzl's MonoFil Keylock ensures smoother opening and closing of the carabiner and a much longer lifetime compared to traditional wire gate carabiners. The wire gate is protected from lateral rubbing (against rock, etc).
- The unique H-profile allows an optimal size and strength-to-weight ratio
- The indent on the bottom of the ANGE S and ANGE L carabiners helps keep the STRING in place so that the sling is properly positioned on the carabiner.
- The surfaces that come in contact with the rope and with the anchor are wider, favoring passage of the rope and reducing carabiner wear
- The nose of the carabiner has a hole that allows ice, snow or dirt to be cleared out
- Certification: CE EN 12275 type B / UIAA
- Best For: Multi-pitch climbing, Mountaineering, Sport Climbing

Maine Community College System Trustees have authorized a $2-per-credit-hour tuition increase at the state's seven community colleges, effective this fall.
AUGUSTA, Maine _ For a full-time, in-state student, tuition will increase sixty dollars next year to $2,640 dollars.
While enrollment at the schools has grown 25 percent in the past five years, their state appropriation has increased only 2.4 percent. MCCS President John Fitzsimmons said officials felt it necessary to bring in some additional revenue to help run the colleges at the level students expect. At the same time he said the system is working very hard to hold true to a promise.
"Maine has the lowest incomes in New England and so we've agreed to keep our tuitions the of any institution in New England as long as maine incomes don't increase," said Fitzsimmons.
Nearly 19,000 students are currently enrolled in Maine's seven community colleges.
Monday, University of Maine System trustees voted to freeze tuition rates for the upcoming school year at 2012 levels for in-state, undergraduate students.

Tammi Terrell (Image by
Soylent Communications)
Tammi Terrell was just 24 years old when she died of a brain tumor, 43 years ago today. But during her too-short life, she recorded some of Motown's most enduring classics – both as a solo artist and in duets, most notably with Marvin Gaye. Written by Linnea Crowther. Originally published March 2012.
Terrell was just 14 years old when she recorded her first single, "If You See Bill." She was still going by the name Tammy Montgomery at the time – Montgomery was her real last name, and Tammy a nickname for Thomasina that she took after seeing the romantic comedy Tammy and the Bachelor.
The record didn't make much of a splash with the public, but it did give Terrell's career a bit of oomph with record execs. She began touring, recording and meeting some of R&B's greats – like James Brown, who she dated when she was just a teen and he was 30. The relationship ended after it became abusive. Other notable relationships were with Sam Cooke and David Ruffin, though Terrell never married.
When she began recording with Motown in 1965, Berry Gordy christened her Tammi Terrell – after searching for a name oozing with sex appeal. Soon, Terrell began recording the greatest, most celebrated songs of her career: her duets with Marvin Gaye.
Terrell and Gaye continued to work together even as she became sick and began to weaken – one time collapsing in his arms onstage during a show in Virginia. Despite her advancing brain tumor, the duo created magical love songs.
Marvin Gaye was devastated by Terrell's death, and his album What's Going On was written in part as a response to the loss. Gaye, too, died young, just 44 years old when he was killed by his father. But the songs he and Tammi Terrell recorded together remain classics, decades after we lost their singers.

via Chris Johnston on twitter.
He also tweets that Ryan McDonagh is wearing #73 right now
No Rangers have ever worn those two numbers during a regular season game.
…Zucc's wore 48 before so it was a bit expected, but 73? You will certainly stick out McDonagh. At Wisconsin McDonagh wore #17.
Brandon Dubinsky wears that number for the Rangers.

MASSENA - The Massena Artists Association is pleased to announce that Sandra A. Young of Dickinson has been named Artist of the Year for 2013-14. This award is based on the three oil paintings she submitted of MAAs 29th annual Membership Art Exhibit, Fall in Upstate NY, The River, and A Place to Rest.
Sandra is a professional artist who has participated in MAA exhibits for several years. Although she works in many different media, she usually submits oil paintings of Adirondack and North Country Landscapes to MAA exhibits. She has developed a technique in which she uses multiple layers of varnish on her paintings which give them a glossy texture and an antique feel, reminiscent of the great landscape painters of the 19th century.
She says that she has been an artist forever, or at least since she was a toddler scribbling on the walls. She appreciates the irony in the fact that she now gets paid good money for creating murals. Although she has never matriculated at an art school, she has taken many classes, seminars and workshops with excellent art instructors.
She believes that there is no limitation to what art can do, and that art comes in many forms. She believes that a hairdresser, chef, landscaper or floral designer is an artist just as much as is a painter or sculptor.
She has owned and operated her own business, Share A Bear Inc., since 1985. She is a toy manufacturer who designs and produces dolls and teddy bears in various media, ranging from ceramic teddy bears to rag dolls. She has worked in prop setting, setting up photo shoots for magazines and advertisers. She has been commissioned by the US Postal Service to design pen & ink drawings to be used as envelop cachets. She uses her art for fundraisers for various causes. She works with handicapped children doing art, including teaching at Paul Newmans camp.

Sandra A. Young for her oil painting, Fall in Upstate NY.
Cecilia Dewey for her acrylic painting, Alaskan Native

Cathy Hance served as this years judge. She had the difficult task of selecting the winning entries from nearly 60 pieces of excellent quality art work. All regional artists are invited to join MAA, and to submit work to future exhibits.
The Massena Artists Associations 29th annual Membership Art Exhibit will remain on display at the Massena Public Library through Friday. Artists may pick up their work at any time on Nov. 16.

|Flooding, Landslides, Sinkholes, Evacuations
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 07 July 2013 15:41
Flooding is taking a toll on area roads and some homes, that after a line of heavy rain lined up along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains mid afternoon, dumping rain in a sequence of storms. Boone Fire was called to evacuate two persons from one house on Farthing Street--one in a wheelchair,
meanwhile Faculty Street became entirely impassable. Faculty Street, Hill Street, and the areas around the Hardees on Blowing Rock Road were closed down, with one lane said to be passable as 321 becomes Hardin Street. Avery reported rock and mud slides at the bottom of Belview Hill and on Spanish Oak. The DOT and area fire departments have been dispatched to road problems and one bridge issue, with a large tree limb washed down into a low bridge on Appaloosa Trail. A culvert pipe on Poplar Grove in the 1200 block has been unearthed and is spewing water in that area, with law enforcement urging caution in any travel.A flash flood warning was issued in the midst of the deluge, with more rain expected into the evening.

17 U.S. Code § 409 - Application for copyright registration
The application for copyright registration shall be made on a form prescribed by the Register of Copyrights and shall include—
(2) in the case of a work other than an anonymous or pseudonymous work, the name and nationality or domicile of the author or authors, and, if one or more of the authors is dead, the dates of their deaths;
(5) if the copyright claimant is not the author, a brief statement of how the claimant obtained ownership of the copyright;
(6) the title of the work, together with any previous or alternative titles under which the work can be identified;
(9) in the case of a compilation or derivative work, an identification of any preexisting work or works that it is based on or incorporates, and a brief, general statement of the additional material covered by the copyright claim being registered; and
(10) any other information regarded by the Register of Copyrights as bearing upon the preparation or identification of the work or the existence, ownership, or duration of the copyright.
Source(Pub. L. 94–553, title I, § 101,Oct. 19, 1976, 90 Stat. 2582; Pub. L. 102–307, title I, § 102(b)(1),June 26, 1992, 106 Stat. 266; Pub. L. 111–295, § 4(b)(2),Dec. 9, 2010, 124 Stat. 3180.)
Historical and Revision Notes
house report no. 94–1476
The various clauses of section 409, which specify the information to be included in an application for copyright registration, are intended to give the Register of Copyrights authority to elicit all of the information needed to examine the application and to make a meaningful record of registration. The list of enumerated items was not exhaustive; under the last clause of the section the application may also include "any other information regarded by the Register of Copyrights as bearing upon the preparation or identification of the work or the existence, ownership, or duration of the copyright."
Among the enumerated items there are several that are not now included in the Copyright Office's application forms, but will become significant under the life-plus-50 term and other provisions of the bill. Clause (5), reflecting the increased importance of the interrelationship between registration of copyright claims and recordation of transfers of ownership, requires a statement of how a claimant who is not the author acquired ownership of the copyright. Clause (9) requires that, "in the case of a compilation or derivative work" the application include "an identification of any preexisting work or works that it is based on or incorporates, and a brief, general statement of the additional material covered by the copyright claim being registered." It is intended that, under this requirement, the application covering a collection such as a song-book or hymnal would clearly reveal any works in the collection that are in the public domain, and the copyright status of all other previously-published compositions. This information will be readily available in the Copyright Office.
The catch-all clause at the end of the section will enable the Register to obtain more specialized information, such as that bearing on whether the work contains material that is a "work of the United States Government." In the case of works subject to the manufacturing requirement, the application must also include information about the manufacture of the copies.
2010—Par. (9) to (11). Pub. L. 111–295inserted "and" after semicolon at end of par. (9), redesignated par. (11) as (10), and struck out former par. (10) which read as follows: "in the case of a published work containing material of which copies are required by section 601 to be manufactured in the United States, the names of the persons or organizations who performed the processes specified by subsection (c) ofsection 601 with respect to that material, and the places where those processes were performed; and".
1992—Pub. L. 102–307inserted at end "If an application is submitted for the renewed and extended term provided for in section 304 (a)(3)(A) and an original term registration has not been made, the Register may request information with respect to the existence, ownership, or duration of the copyright for the original term."

Now that the Kokopelli statue has moved from Price Main street to a storage room, people have responded to the request for suggestions on where to display the bronze sculpture next.
Here's a summary of what has been submitted so far:
The middle of the Price council chambers;
On top of Balanced Rock in Helper;
Send it to Blanding or Bluff;
Put it at the intersection of Main Street and Carbon Avenue.
Other suggestions included several that would put the sculpture somewhere around the Prehistoric Museum/City Hall block. A few writers though the Peace Gardens would be a good place, while others thought it might fit in with the bronze dinosaurs in the museum parking lot.
Another writer thought the statue would be a tourist attraction at the planned Horse Canyon rest stop and visitor center on Highway 6.
Finally, someone recommended simply putting it close where it was, in the vacant lot off Main Street near Frank's Auto Glass.

The door to a completely new way of transmitting information is now open. Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have created an elementary quantum network by transmitting quantum information between two atoms trapped in optical resonators. Quantum information has fundamentally different characteristics to the conventional information with which today's computers operate and which is transmitted via telephone lines or fibre-optic cables. The hope is that quantum information will make it possible to process information more efficiently in some applications. It must, however, be handled with extreme care in order that it not lose its quantum character. The Garching-based physicists are now the first to transmit quantum bits in the form of individual photons from one atom to the other via a 60-metre fibre-optic cable and to reliably store them in the receiver atom. This arrangement is not only suitable for exchanging data between computers, should they, in years to come, compute in quantum bits. It also enables fundamental insight into how quantum communication works, and it could, in future, allow physicists to investigate quantum systems that are not yet understood.
Breakthrough in quantum communication: Quantum information can now be transmitted between two individual atoms in resonators in a controlled way and reversibly stored in the atoms. G. Rempe, S. Ritter and a team from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have transported quantum bits in the form of individual photons in an elementary quantum network and thus taken a step forward in quantum information technology towards a quantum computer, quantum simulation and a quantum Internet.[less]
Breakthrough in quantum communication: Quantum information can now be transmitted between two individual atoms in resonators in a controlled way and reversibly stored in the atoms. G. Rempe, S. Ritter and a team from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have transported quantum bits in the form of individual photons in an elementary quantum network and thus taken a step forward in quantum information technology towards a quantum computer, quantum simulation and a quantum Internet.
It is possible that the progression from analogue to digital data processing has not been the last leap forward in information technology. Throughout the world, physicists are investigating the possibilities for processing quantum information. No one knows yet whether it will change our daily routine as much as digital information processing, as it is extremely fragile and its quantum properties disappear easily. However, it offers opportunities that are principally not available to conventional digital information. Physicists in the Quantum Dynamics Division headed by Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching are now the first to have transmitted quantum information in a controlled and reversible way.
One could say: the researchers let the individual atoms talk to each other in the language of individual quantum bits, which are transmitted by individual photons. The physicists in Garching succeeded in achieving something that is taken for granted in a conversation and also works in conventional data processing, but has not yet been possible at all in quantum communication. "Our approach is characterised by the fact that the system of atom and resonator can serve as transmitter and receiver. We can also store the information in the atoms and we can exchange it between them in a controlled and reversible way," says Stephan Ritter, who was instrumental in facilitating the quantum dialogue. This means that any atom can speak the quantum language and transmit the information contained in it - without losing the sensitive quantum character of the information.
Physicists are also studying other systems for exchanging quantum information, such as ensembles of atoms or single atoms and molecules without a mirror. The special strong point of individual atoms in resonators is that they allow all operations, i.e. the sending, receiving and storage of quantum information, in equal measure.
One new development of fundamental interest is the fact that the Garching-based researchers can exchange quantum information in a controlled and reversible way - physicists use the term coherent. "We have created a breakthrough with our experiments in order to learn more about the fundamental properties of the quantum world," says Gerhard Rempe, who, as a Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, headed the research. Since the researchers accurately control the exchange of quantum information and thus the quantum mechanical interactions between their networked atoms, they hope in the future to also be able to simulate quantum processes that physicists do not fully understand as yet. These include superconductivity - the flow of current with zero resistance - at relatively high temperatures. "A larger quantum network of the future could be particularly suitable for such quantum simulations because it's particularly versatile," says Stephan Ritter.
The atomic dialogue also opens up new prospects for the exchange and the processing of quantum information. Unlike conventional bits, quantum bits have the characteristic that the state which they are in is not determined as long as they are not measured. They are in a state which physicists call superposition state. This has a property that is hardly conceivable in our everyday world, which is governed by classical physics, because the result of a measurement on the superposition state is not determined right from the start, it is the measurement that makes the decision. The measurement changes the state in this sense.
The computing characteristics of quantum bits are based on this indecisiveness of the superposition state. A quantum bit therefore does not represent a zero or one, like a conventional bit, but has the possibility to be in both states at the same time. This characteristic can be used for ingenious and powerful computational methods, which are denied a conventional computer.

Read: JT Miller and Getting A Spot On Team USA For The WJC
While playing for Team USA at the World Junior Championships last season, JT Miller said he learned a valuable lesson of not looking past an opponent and just assuming talent will prevail.
Chris Peters writes at the United States of Hockey that Miller is likely to be one of three players who will return to Team USA from last year's squad.
Miller, playing for the Whale, would have to get permission from the Rangers to play for Team USA.
The Rangers refused to let Evgeny Grachev play for Russia in his first season in Hartford and ended up regretting the move.
Miller has three assists in four games for the Whale.

The Tavares City Council has voted in favor of a domestic partnership registry, 4-1, on Wednesday, making it the first city in Lake County with the registry.
The ordinance allows unmarried couples protections that would otherwise be denied, including hospital visitation, emergency notifications, jail visits and domestic partner health insurance coverage--within the city limits.
City Council Norman Hope says the ordinance within city limits is important because the main hospital and county jail are both in Tavares.
"I live in a senior community and I have quite a few residents in that community that for whatever reason are not married but they live together and if they were to go to the hospital or to have a legal issue neither one of them could speak for the other," said Hope. "And to me that's wrong in the United States of America."
Older couples now have the right to help make major medical decisions and funeral arrangements with out the hassle of legal action, which doesn't always work.
More than 100 people filled the City Hall chamber cheering in support of registry.
The new ordinance goes into affect May 1.

Fotografía de noticiasAlemania,Conflicto,Crimen,Derecho,Dresde,Guerra,Horizontal,Justicia,Neonazismo,Temas socialesPhotographer Sean GallupCollection: Getty Images News 2012 Getty ImagesDRESDEN, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 13: Neo-Nazis and their sympathizers march with torches to commemorate the World War II firebombing of Dresden by Allied planes on February 13, 2012 in Dresden, Germany. Protesters attempted unsuccessfully to surround the expected 1,500 neo-Nazis with a human chain in order to prevent them from marching through the city in the annual event. Right-wing extremism is currently making national headlines in Germany due to the revelation that a pair of neo-Nazis claiming to be part of a group called the National Socialist Underground (NSU) murdered at least 10 immigrant small-business owners as well as a policewoman over a decade-long period, and that police investigations at the time were either botched or willfully aborted.

Over the next few weeks I will be publishing a series of columns to help investors understand what I believe will be the global economic drivers for the next 10 years. I will discuss their effects on our lives and how to profit from the changes ahead through a series of 10 investment themes.
In a world of sensationalism, where business journalists are paid by the number of hits they get on the web, it is lucrative to write articles calling for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to be at 5,000 or 25,000. The more extreme the writer's text, the more hits they will get. Fear and greed remain the most important drivers behind any clicks on financial sites today. The reality is that nobody knows where the Dow will go over the next 10 years; we can build scenarios, and apply probability to them, but more then ever, certainties are extremely rare.
How can you invest for the long term when the road ahead is so unpredictable? To increase your chance of success, I recommend that you overweight assets or sectors affected by future global drivers that present a high probability of happening. To determine the winning asset classes and sectors over the next 10 years, you first need to understand what will shape the global economy going forward. At Clover, our research points to three key drivers that will define where to invest in order to grow your capital in the coming years.
First key driver: World Population
For every person who dies today, more then two people are born. The world population now exceeds seven billion souls, and at this pace, we should pass nine billion by 2040. The following chart (FIG 1) clearly illustrates the remarkable growth of the world populace over the last 200 years and what to expect going forward.
Fig 1: World population from 1800 to 2100, source: United Nations 2010 projections and U.S. Census Bureau historical estimates.
Through this U.N. projection, we can conclude, with a high level of probability, that whatever future scenario we use, the population will grow by more then 25% in the next 25 years. Therefore, we should expect demand for food, energy and other commodities to continue to grow rapidly at least until 2040.
Another characteristic of the world's population is its unprecedented aging. It is expected that by 2050 close to 35% of developed countries' populations will exceed 60 years of age. However, developing countries do not present the same picture, with less then 20% of their population predicted to be elderly by 2050. Although the percentage is much lower, the number of the population is so gigantic in developing markets that it needs to be taken into consideration when investing. (Fig 2)

After diagnosing your lymphoma, your doctor needs to see how far the disease has spread, which is called its stage. Lymphoma may be in just 1 area, but it tends to be more widespread. That's because it can easily move through the lymphatic system. Your treatment plan and prognosis depend on the type of lymphoma you have and its stage. But the chances of curing lymphoma have more to do with the type than the stage.
Lymphomas can spread to lymph nodes in more than 1 area of the body. They may also spread to the bone marrow and to other organs in the body. Lymphomas tend to spread in different ways, depending on where they began. Aggressive, fast-moving lymphomas tend to spread to other lymph nodes first. They usually don't involve bone marrow until later. Slow-growing lymphomas often involve the bone marrow and may be widespread at the time of diagnosis. Slow-growing lymphomas are also called indolent lymphomas.
Lymphoma that begins in an organ that is not a lymph node, such as the stomach, is called extranodal lymphoma. This lymphoma tends to spread first to the lymph nodes near that organ or to sites other than the lymph nodes.
The staging system used most often to describe the spread of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is called the Ann Arbor Staging System. It uses Roman numerals (I to IV) for different stages. A lymphoma that affects organs or tissues other than the lymph nodes has an E added to its stage. If it affects the spleen, an S is added. If the patient has fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss, the letter B is added; if none of these is present, an A is added.
Stage I. The lymphoma is in 1 group of the body's lymph nodes, such as the groin or neck, or is in 1 organ outside of the lymph system.
Stage II. Two groups of lymph nodes (or 1 organ and a group of nearby lymph nodes) on the same side of the diaphragm contain lymphoma. The diaphragm is the muscle that divides the chest and the abdomen. For example, lymphoma might be above the diaphragm in lymph nodes in the neck and underarms. Or lymphoma might be below the diaphragm in lymph nodes in the groin and abdomen.
Stage III. The lymphoma is in lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm. It may have also spread into a nearby organ and/or into the spleen.
Stage IV. The lymphoma is in stage IV if any of these are true:
The lymphoma is present in the bone marrow, liver, brain or spinal cord, or the pleura (thin lining of the lungs).
The lymphoma has spread throughout 1 organ or tissue other than the lymph nodes
The lymphoma is in an organ outside of the lymphatic system and has spread to lymph nodes or other organs far away from that organ.
