Local briefs: Royal's La Fountain commits to VC
Royal's La Fountain commits to VC
On the verge of losing the core of its sixth state championship team to graduation, the Ventura College women's basketball team received a commitment over the weekend from a potential cornerstone for its next team.
Six-foot-2 Royal High center Destinee La Fountain, who averaged 13.8 points and 12.5 rebounds as a senior for the 20-9 Highlanders, made a verbal commitment to play for the Pirates over the weekend.
"I really liked the way they played," said La Fountain, who is also being recruited by several other two-year schools.
"I've heard a lot about how much I can improve (at Ventura), how much I can learn."
Ventura's six outgoing sophomores represent 84 percent of the scoring and 61 percent of the rebounding from the team that finished 34-1 with a 59-47 win over Fullerton in the state final March 14 at Cal Lutheran.
"She's an important part of who we're going to be next year," said Ventura coach Ned Mircetic. "I think she has the opportunity to truly be a great player.
"With her athleticism, size and speed, she has the ability to play three different positions. I'm really looking forward to coaching her."
Outlaws take 8-0 record on road
The Ventura County Outlaws rugby team will put its 8-0 record on the line Saturday at the Orange County Ravens.
The Outlaws are coming off the toughest match of the season, holding off the Long Beach Waves 16-15 at Cal Lutheran last weekend in a battle for first place.
Marcus Mulick converted two penalty kicks as the Outlaws rallied from being behind for the first time in club history. The Outlaws held an 11-10 lead, until the Waves stormed to a 15-11 advantage. The Outlaws drove down the field and Josh Phillips scored the final diving try of the game to give the Outlaws a 16-15 lead.
However, because of a penalty on the Outlaws, the Waves had one last chance to win the game on a penalty kick, but missed as the game ended.

Cleveland sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie. And though the Ohio city is no beach town, it's here that Gabe Fulvimar makes his hazy surf pop as Gap Dream. Fulvimar has played in bands before, even occupying a spot in the Black Keys on the group's first album, but it's his recent solo material that's been catching ears.
Burger released a Gap Dream cassette this January, and the label will put out the LP version of those tracks July 17. Suicide Squeeze has also gotten involved and will release the CD version this summer, as well as a 7″ of new material later this year. We gave Fulvimar a call on a recent Friday afternoon to find out more about the guy behind this happily floating, swimming pool music before he headed to see Spiritualized live, for the first time since 1999, in Detroit that night.
What do you think of the new Spiritualized album?
I like what I've heard so far. I've only heard a few tracks. I think with a lot of bands like that from that era, obviously bands I listened to a lot in high school, I have a special place in my heart for a lot of their records. So for me it's never gonna compare to Ladies And Gentlemen. That's a really good record.
Yeah, if those records catch you at a particular time, like in high school or middle school or something, it's like chasing the dragon: You can never get that same feeling again, you know?
Yeah, totally. I mean like, I'm 31, so, when I was in high school it was a lot of Pavement and Sonic Youth–all the classics. That's the thing, you know, Sonic Youth will come out with a new record, and everybody's all stoked about it, and I'll listen to it, and I'm like, "Aw man, it's not as good as Sister."
Now, Pavement, Sonic Youth, even Spirtualized: Do you feel like those sounds that you grew up with influence how you approach music now?
Oh yeah, Sonic Youth was how I learned to play guitar. I first started playing guitar when I was in fourth grade, and it was just nothing more than taking a few lessons and having a guitar and learning some notes from "Enter Sandman" or something. It wasn't anything serious. But when I was in high school I started listening to Sonic Youth, like early Sonic Youth, and I noticed a common theme with a lot of those bands is that the songwriting was so simple, and I could tell like, "Oh these people don't know what they're doing." [Laughs] They do now, but they didn't when they started out. So to me that was like, "Hey, anybody can do it if they want to."
Were you in bands before going solo with Gap Dream?
I was in bands and stuff but nothing that anyone would have heard of. Well, I'm lying when I say that. I was in the Black Keys for a minute on their first record. I'm credited on there. I'm really good friends with Pat [Carney]; we're both from Akron. I don't really like to tell a lot of people that…I know it's silly I just said it in an interview. [Laughs] I don't mind if you include it. People know it. To me it's kind of important, and I'm not trying to dog them at all–I love Pat, I've known him forever, and he's one of my best friends–but I don't want that to be like, "Hey! Check this guy out!"
"He was in the Black Keys!"
"Oh you like them? Then you'll like this! Even though it's completely unrelated musically!"
Fair enough. Burger put out your cassette this January. How did you hook up with that label?
I built this weird email relationship with them just by ordering stuff all the time. I ended up just sending them "Cover It Up," and I was getting all freaked out. I was like, "Aw, man I'm going to be mad at them now because they're not gonna like the song, and I'm not gonna order anything, and I just ruined my favorite thing." And two days later I get a message on Facebook from Sean [Bohrman of Burger], and it was all in caps saying, "THIS RULES. SEND US MORE." The album kind of became this thing where they were getting it as it was being made. So I'd send them some songs, and finally after a while he was like, "Let's do a tape."
What kind of instruments were you using on these tracks?
Well, I bought a new computer a year ago, and I stole Ableton Live, and I was messing around with it. I was doing electronic stuff before with this project that I called Warm, and it was just like synth, kind of kraut-y, early Kraftwerk style, really melodic, me having fun, really. And then I had this mixer, and I was just sitting there one day and was like, "I want to start recording rock 'n' roll songs again." I just kind of did everything in the computer. All those drum parts aren't really a drum; they're a drum machine. I just EQ'd the shit out of it, compressed it. I even went so far to mess with the timing and the hits on each bar to make it sound real. I sound like such a dork. And then my buddy Greg, he plays drums in the live version of Gap Dream, he's like, "You obviously have no familiarity with the drum kit because the drum parts don't make any sense. You need to be like an octopus to play them right."
I did all the guitar and keyboard stuff myself, and all the bass is done with this Fender Rhodes plug-in. I just blew it out to make it sound thick. I tried as hard as I could to make it sound like it was recorded somewhere, and I think it worked because a lot of the time people are pretty surprised when I tell them I did it in my bedroom at four in the morning.

Crews watching smoldering remains of fires that burned 500 acres | Photo gallery
OKEECHOBEE COUNTY - Firefighters will return today to the site of five wildfires that burned more than 500 acres over the weekend.
"High winds can rekindle fires and firefighters want to make sure all fire is dead out,'' state Division of Forestry Wildfire Mitigation Specialist Melissa Yunas wrote in an email late Sunday afternoon.
Yunas said crews were going to be out around homes throughout the night Sunday night to ensure all hot spots were out, and would be returning on Monday.
With winds expected to be between 15 and 20 mph on Monday, with gusts as high as 30 mph, there is reason for concern, Yunas said.
"Vegetation is ripe for wildfires," Yunas wrote, with "high winds, low relative humidity, plus the moisture in the vegetation has been released due to this cold dry air. Please use cautions with anything that can cause a spark."
No injuries were reported from the weekend wildfires.
High winds and a loose power line apparently ignited one of the weekend wildfires, state fire officials said.
That fire, in the Viking community near Kissimmee Prairie State Park, was contained around 4 p.m. Sunday. The fire destroyed two cars and burned 100 acres Saturday and then another 200 acres after rekindling Sunday, officials said. No homes were lost and evacuations were lifted, Yunas wrote.
A fire was contained after burning 50 acres at the Rocking K Ranch on 411 North in Fort Drum in Okeechobee County. A campfire caused that fire, Yunas said, and the person responsible was issued a notice of violation.
There were several other wildfires in Okeechobee over the weekend. Someone mowing the lawn caused one of the fires, which burned about 305 acres about one-half mile south of the Okeechobee Correctional Institute, near the intersection of State Route 441 and Northwest 144th Street, the state said.
A fire near Larson Dairy on Northwest 160th street near the St. Lucie County line consumed about 20 acres and destroyed a camper, a John Deer tractor and a utility truck, state officials said. This fire closed State Route 70 for about an hour.
At Country Hill Estates, seven homes escaped damages from the flames, caused by someone burning dead vegetation around a pond. The fire burned through about 10 acres, destroying five cars, a camper, four lawn mowers, a pole barn, three sheds, a sailboat, canoes and a van. Seven homes, however, were saved, Yunas wrote.
State officials recommend the public call 911 if they spot a wildfire.

News now! Packers win, can move into first placePosted by on November 23, 2014 – 3:00 pm
MINNEAPOLIS — A time-consuming, fourth-quarter touchdown drive clinched a 24-21 victory for the Packers over the Vikings on Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium.
Eddie Lacy scored on a 10-yard shovel pass, running through the middle of the Vikings defense to cap an 11-play, 87-yard drive that took 6:18 off the clock.
The Vikings cut the Packers' lead to three points with a 79-yard touchdown drive former Packers star Greg Jennings capped with a 5-yard touchdown catch with 3:23 to play in the game. Former Packers draft choice Charles Johnson then caught a two-point conversion pass to move the Vikings within a field goal of overtime.
Lacy killed what was the left of the clock with a display of power running.
The win, combined with a Lions loss, would move the 8-3 Packers into sole possession of first place in the NFC North.

News now! Packers take 17-13 lead into the fourth quarterPosted by on November 23, 2014 – 2:15 pm
MINNEAPOLIS — The Packers and Vikings traded field goals in the fourth quarter and the Packers took a 17-13 lead into the fourth quarter of Sunday's game at TCF Bank Stadium.
Mason Crosby booted a 48-yarder with 2:49 to play, after the Vikings had kicked a 51-yard field goal with 6:42 to play in the quarter.
The Packers offense appeared to have a promising drive going early in the quarter, but it was spoiled by penalties, one of which erased a long run with a screen pass by Eddie Lacy.

News now! Interception helps Packers take 14-10 halftime leadPosted by on November 23, 2014 – 1:26 pm
MINNEAPOLIS — An interception of Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater by Packers CB Micah Hyde helped set the Packers up for their second touchdown as they took a 14-10 lead into halftime on Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium.
The Vikings tied the score at 7 with a 14-play, 74-yard TD drive that included two fourth-down conversions.
On the first, Minnesota faced fourth-and-5 from the Green Bay 39 — after the Packers declined a penalty that would have made it third-and-15 — and S Morgan Burnett's interception was wiped out by a defensive holding penalty on Hyde, giving the Vikings a first down.
On the ensuing series, the Vikings faced fourth down again, this time needing just 1 yard from the Green Bay 25. RB Jerick McKinnon converted with a 3-yard run, and Bridgewater hit former Packers WR Charles Johnson for a 22-yard TD on the next play, tying the game with 11:06 left in the half.
The Packers responded with two quick first downs to get the ball near midfield, but the drive stalled and Green Bay had to punt again.
The defense got the ball back almost immediately, though, as Hyde leaped to intercept Bridgewater's deep pass intended for WR Greg Jennings, another former Packer.
The offense took over on its own 47 and wasted no time. A 16-yard run by RB Eddie Lacy was shortened to 6 yards on a downfield holding penalty on WR Jordy Nelson, but QB Aaron Rodgers then hit WR Randall Cobb for 12 yards and TE Andrew Quarless for 34 yards down to the 1. Rodgers then ran a play-action roll to his right and threw the ball all the way back across the field to his left, to a wide open TE Richard Rodgers, standing alone in the corner of the end zone. The Packers led 14-7 with 5:23 left in the half.
The Vikings came back with a drive of their own, as Bridgewater converted a third-and-6 with an 11-yard pass to TE Kyle Rudolph and followed it up with a 10-yard slant to WR Cordarrelle Patterson and an 8-yard checkdown to McKinnon. That put the Vikings on the Green Bay 26-yard line at the two-minute warning.
A facemask penalty on Vikings LT Matt Kalil pushed Minnesota back, but a 19-yard completion to Johnson got them back into field goal range at the 21. A high pass on third down for Johnson was nearly intercepted by CB Tramon Williams, and the Vikings settled for a 39-yard FG by Blair Walsh to make it 14-10 with 16 seconds left in the half.

Let's all calm down; it's only halftimePosted by on November 23, 2014 – 1:21 pm
Reiss from Virginia Beach, VA
Vic, the first quarter was a game of field position that we ended up winning by scoring with a minute-and-a-half to go. Did you enjoy it?
I liked it. With each exchange of possession, the Packers gained ground until they were in position to attack. I don't think that kind of football is the Packers' identity, but sometimes you have to do what the circumstances force you to do. The defense is playing well.
Benjamin from Madison, WI
Vic, how much of the stadium is in green and gold?
Close to 50 percent.
Joey from Swansea, IL
Will Bridgewater get at least 130 passing yards today?
He started slowly; he was wild high and long. He's starting to warm up.
Kelly from Walford, IA
Why punt the ball on fourth down with one yard to go? Why not just run the ball?
Why not just run the ball on third down?
Rolf from Copenhagen, Denmark
How much do you think the chip-on-the-shoulder contributes to a player's development and demeanor? I think it's more of a story for the media and the fans about a guy beating the people who didn't believe in him.
How many guys with a chip on their shoulder got cut? It's only a story when a guy makes it.
Rick from Appleton, WI
Vic, close game.
This one has a little bit of an AFC North street fight feel to it. Remember, Mike Zimmer is an AFC North guy.
James from Wausau, WI
My gut hasn't stopped churning, yet. This should be a close game, like most figured.
Like most figured? Most were looking forward to the Patriots game.
Mike from San Antonio, TX
All right, who chortled?
I didn't. I was most reserved and respectful.
Rob from Amston, CT
Vic, what is the story behind the Jaguars helmets? Were you still there when they went that way? Can you explain their thinking?
I was gone by then. I would've never allowed that to happen.
Don from Troy, MI
Why do all you talking heads tell us there's no way the Packers lose vs. the crummy Vikings, when you know very well all NFL teams have the best players in the world? You're so gullible.
Don't blame this talking head. I was warning everybody all week. Let's all calm down. This one has a long way to go.
Rob from Amston, CT
Vic, how hard is it to win games like this against the Vikes when it's late in the season and they are out of the playoff picture and are thus willing to take more risks, such as going for it repeatedly on fourth down?
Blame it on being out of playoff contention?
Mike from Charlotte, NC
Tough game today. You were right about them Vikes. I could see it as I looked at them through the week. Are a lot Packers fans blasting your inbox because it isn't 28-0?
The sea is angry, my friend.
Paul from Denver, CO
I remember last year a coach changed his mind and took a penalty once we were going to go for it on fourth down. Could Mike have changed his mind once the Vikings tried to go for it on the fourth-and-5?
I think it was the Cincinnati game. There was a time out at the time, I believe. Let's revisit this question tomorrow when I'm back at the office and can open my rulebook.

News now! Packers lead, 7-0, after one quarterPosted by on November 23, 2014 – 12:38 pm
MINNEAPOLIS — The Packers held a 7-0 lead over the Vikings, following one quarter of play at TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday.
With 4:44 to play in the quarter, the Packers took possession at their 46-yard line following a Vikings punt. On third-and-10, Aaron Rodgers hit Randall Cobb over the middle for 29 yards to the Vikings 25. It was the first time in the game either team had crossed midfield.
A pass to tight end Andrew Quarless gained 16 to the 7. On first-and-goal, Rodgers threw for Jordy Nelson and the Vikings were flagged for pass interference, moving the ball to the 1. Eddie Lacy plunged for the touchdown on the next play, and the Packers led, 7-0, with 1:34 to play in the quarter.
The Vikings won the coin toss and elected to defer their choice.

Packers hold onto first place with 44-31 winPosted by on October 27, 2013 – 10:24 pm
MINNEAPOLIS–The Packers improved their record to 5-2 and maintained their hold on first place in the NFC North with a 44-31 win over the Vikings on Sunday night.
Leading 31-17 after three quarters, James Starks roared 25 yards up the middle on the second play of the fourth quarter, and the rout was on.
The Packers defense then pitched a three-and-out at the Vikings, and Aaron Rodgers erased any lingering doubt. He completed a 27-yard strike to Jarrett Boykin in a drive that began emptying the seats at the Metrodome, which was hosting its final Packers-Vikings game. The Packers eventually settled for a 20-yard field goal by Mason Crosby that gave the visitors a 41-17 lead with 6:10 to play.
Minnesota scored a touchdown with 4:42 to play and then unsuccessfully attempted an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff, leaving the Packers to kill the remaining time and turn their thoughts to next week's game against the visiting Chicago Bears.
Crosby tacked on a 45-yard field goal with 2:53 to play.
Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder scored on a 19-yard run to cut the Packers' lead to 44-31 with 1:24 to play.
The Packers recovered the onside kick.
Rodgers threw for 285 yards, two touchdowns and a 130.6 passer rating. Lacy led all rushers with 94 yards. The Packers held Adrian Peterson to 60 yards rushing.

Packers hold 31-17 lead after three quartersPosted by on October 27, 2013 – 9:38 pm
MINNEAPOLIS–The Packers increased their lead to 31-17 through three quarters of action at the Metrodome on Sunday night.
The Packers struck first in the second half on an 80-yard, ball-control drive that combined the power running of Eddie Lacy and the precision passing and timely scrambling of Aaron Rodgers. The key play in the drive was a 14-yard scramble by Rodgers on a third-and-2 from the Vikings 26-yard line.
On first down from the 12, Lacy ran over defenders and down to the 5-yard line, which gave Lacy 45 yards rushing to that point in the drive. On third-and-2 from the 4-yard line, Rodgers scrambled to the 1-yard line. A player later, Lacy scored over right tackle.
The Packers defense asserted itself on the Vikings' next possession. A Mike Daniels sack forced a punt and the Packers offense, which was playing near-flawless football, took possession at its 26-yard line.
James Starks replaced Lacy but the gashing runs continued. Starks rushed for two first downs on consecutive runs. Rodgers completed a sideline pass to Myles White, who made a defender miss and roared down the sideline to the Vikings 24-yard line. That's where the third quarter ended.

Michelle Williams Plea To Photographers
August 31, 2012: Actress Michelle Williams entreats New York City photographers to use long lenses and stay out of sight while she and her daughter go to the Bronx Zoo on Friday. "I don't want my daughter to see you... ok?"Tagged with: long lens | Michelle Williams | NYC | photographer
She spoke in a very elegant manner. Go Michelle! I totally agree with she. I would agree even more if this was Katie Holmes. I have no sympathy for the parents who chose their careers but the kids didn't ask for this.
Michelle Williams is a celeb who allows photos to be taken of her and her child in a very cooperative manner. (Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes also come to mind) Take the photos and then let them spend private time together. She really shouldn't have to ask for this courtesy but she does and does so in such a classy manner.

(Dannie Walls / Icon SMI)Sammy Watkins is unquestionably the top wide receiver in the 2014 NFL draft class, and many consider him to be the best receiver to enter the draft in recent years. Watkins has uncanny playmaking ability and should be selected within the first few picks of May's draft. And he's not shy about how great he believes he can be.Watkins said during an interview with 95.7 The Game that he has "some freakish talents and ability to make plays," but he also describes himself as a quick learner that will dive into a playbook and prepare to help a team from Day 1."I'm able to transition myself and work through tough conditions," Watkins said, via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com."I understand football and the preparation, so for me, it's getting in with the team I'm with and learn that playbook. That's all I need to do is really learn that playbook, and after that, just adjusting to the speed of the game and how cornerbacks play in the NFL. That would be the next step. I think after the first few games I'll be definitely fine."MORE COVERAGE: 2014 NFL Mock Draft: Watkins goes No. 7 to BuccaneersWide receivers have had a history of slow transitions to the professional level, but Watkins is a rare talent that should make an immediate impact. If he can dive into his preparation like he plans to after he is drafted, Watkins could be a star player and Rookie of the Year favorite as soon as he enters his first NFL camp.

Back in 1947, when my mother
was "only a kid" she attracted the attention of one of the
male members of the Ted
Weems Orchestra. Her town Sleepy Hollow (now North Tarrytown)
and neighboring Tarrytown, NY were selected as "typical United
Nations villages" and a number of associated events and celebratrions
were taking place. Among these was a performance by the Ted Weems
Orchestra at my mother's high school. The Ted Weems Orchestra was
hot. Billboard magazine on May 10, 1947 reviewed a performance
by the "ork" at the Chase Club in St. Louis, noting that
the band was "riding the crest of Heartaches
popularity." Heartaches was the #1 hit at the time. Notably,
the review mentions the "good-looking balladeer Bob Edwards,"
refers to Shirley Richards, the "girl vocalist" in the band,
as a "lovely St. Louis chick with a load of personality,"
and declares that the "biggest hit of the show was scored by
Elmo Tanner with his whistling of Heartache and Nola."
I say notably since it is these three who signed the back of a photograph
of my mother when she and her her friends were at the high school
show that day.
My mother and her friends
were in line to meet the band members, when it occurred to them that
that should get autographs. The only problem was, what would they
sign? Well, one of the guys had a photograph of my mother in his wallet.
(He wasn't a "boyfriend" according to my mother. She didn't
have any boyfriends. Just guys that carried photos of her in their
Here is the photograph.
On the back you'll find
the autographs of Bob Edwards, Shirley Richards, and Elmo Tanner.
Elmo Tanner was the famed
"whistler" in the band, responsible for the whistling
on the hit Heartaches. Here's an undated photo of Elmo Tanner.
Elmo became
quite infatuated with my mother, and was holding up the line because
he decided he should hit on her. Tanner, who was born in 1904, had
to be 42 years old at the time, while my mother was only 16. Fortunately,
the bandleader Ted Weems happened by and broke up the conversation,
saying "For God's sake, Elmo, she's only a kid."
Here's a YouTube
video of Ted Weems and His Orchestra having fun with other girls.

He swings in that easy and relaxed way that made Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole so popular. He croons to the original 1950's arrangements of Nelson Riddle and even his microphones are from the time. The smooth talking in between numbers and the smart 40's and 50's suits, together with the softness of his voice create a flashback to the golden days of swing and Film Noir.
He mixes the Great American Songbook with highlights from the late 1950's Jazz repertoire of Serge Gainsbourg. True to the original feeling of these songs, he sing them in French.
"Rock goes swing" is repertoire, where Tommy D and his commercial band make their jazzy interpretations of rock classics from The Doors and The Beatles to The Rolling Stones.
Tommy D and his Commercial Band invite you to a convincing retro experience where the melodies linger on like smoke rings in the air.
But TOMMY D is also a song righter with a long list of his own compositions and arrangements. Going back to the late 1970's he has recorded song in such different styles as Punk, Disco, Big Band Jazz, Electro Swing, Rockabilly, Country , R&B, Rap, Soul and Folk. He has also recorded many of the most famous West End Musicals from The Phantom of the Opera to Les Miserables.
During 2013 he will be recording his new songs in Paris and Berlin.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate general manager
Some latest projections I saw last week from officials quoted by the upstate media indicates that over the next five to six years, Utah will grow by 300,000 people.
Personally, I'm not sure they are not already here, because it appeared to me that all of them were at my favorite bakery in the Salt Lake Valley on Saturday morning when I was in there trying to buy some cherry-cream cheese Danish.
Now saying that I have a favorite bakery in Salt Lake is kind of like saying I have a favorite restaurant along the Wasatch Front. I actually like four bakeries in Salt Lake and all because of different reasons. One on South Temple makes the best chocolate rum cakes I have ever had. Another on Highland Drive makes great eclairs. A third I like in Holladay puts out some great bread and good cakes. And of course the one I was at on Saturday on 2700 South is the best at making the aforementioned confection along with outstanding chocolate cake donuts.
Of the four bakeries, only one has decent parking. Bad parking situations seem to plague these places. And my experience with the one on Saturday began with a parking problem.
The bakery was rebuilt just a few years ago. At one time the original building sat right on a corner, so the rest of the lot was the parking and the space was pretty good. But when the new building was built, they constructed it just east of the old building and made it much larger than the old facility. During the construction the business kept cranking out their great delicacies, basically with no off street parking at all. When the building was completed, they tore down the old building and that is where the parking lot is located.
New lot, yes. Better parking, absolutely not.
To get in this lot you have to be heading east on 2700 South, pass the light at the corner and quickly turn in. If you have anything the size of an Explorer or bigger this becomes almost impossible. And once in the lot, if other cars pull in as well and it fills up, you need to go back and forth like a billiard ball to get straightened around to get out again.
So Saturday morning I pull up to the light in an extended cab pickup and not only see the lot full, with cars bouncing off each trying to get out, but observe that the off street parking is also full for about three blocks up the hill above the bakery. I took off when the light changed and looked for a space on the street, which I found but it was tight and almost two blocks away from my destination.
As I walked toward the bakery, I could see people streaming in and out of the front door. I went in to find about fifty people milling around looking at the day old stuff and only one at the counter to order anything fresh. I jumped in line while I spied just what I wanted in the case. There on the top shelf were six wonderful looking chocolate donuts, and down at the other end of the case remained three cherry-cheese Danish. With the guy in front of me only ordering some bagels, I knew I had these gems of goodness locked up, or so I thought.
Just as I reached the front of the line and began to place my order, two women came out from the back shop of the bakery and began to help all those lost souls searching for good deals on day old stuff. I looked around and could see this tall red headed woman who walked in after me examining what in my mind had become my Danish's at the other end of the counter. I kept my eye on her as I ordered.
"I want those six chocolate donuts," I said almost sticking my finger through the glass as I saw their luscious browness staring up at me." The girl who was helping me went to get a box and as she did I added, "And also give me those three cherry-cheese Danish's at the end of the case too."
There I had done it. I had planted my flag on those confections and no one could take them away now.
But I had given my preferences in the wrong order. The donuts which were obscured from view by my wide body were unseen by others who might lust after their chocolaty taste. The cherry-cheese, however, were not. While the girl loaded up the donuts I watched as that devious red head talked with another clerk about something in the case. I wanted to tell the girl helping me to hurry up and get those Danish before they were gone, but I held my tongue not wanting to draw attention to the fact that the best thing in the case was becoming scarce.
Then it happened. It was as if I was in one of those dreams where I was trying to run from my ex-wife, but everything I did moved in slow motion. I looked over, keeping one eye on the girl with the donuts as they were placed carefully into the box and the other eye on the carrot topped skinny woman who was by now pointing her finger at my cherry-cheese Danish. I didn't think I could ever look two directions at once, but I knew what I had really come to purchase was in peril.
After what seemed like an hour and two minutes the girl finally turned toward the other end of the counter to pick up the Danish. Just as she reached the spot where they were displayed, the other bakery clerk opened up the doors and began placing the Danish in a small box. I cringed as the red heads face lit up because of her selection. I knew I was done for.
"Sorry," said the girl as she walked back. "Someone else just bought them." She said this in the same way oil executives told the nation a couple of months ago that there would be shortage of oil and prices would probably go up. It was a regrettably happy tone.
"Don't you have any more?" I asked in vain, knowing the answer before I ever got one. This place seldom had more of anything that wasn't already in the case. She shook her head.
I almost asked if we could bid on them, you know, kind of like on e-bay. But I thought better of it.
"Do you want anything else?" she asked me as I saw the woman with the fire hair give the other clerk a $10 bill. Then the clerk handed her back the change and the bag of my desires.
I paid my bill and walked out of the bakery with the small box of donuts. Just then I saw the Danish thief get into her car which was loaded with small similarly red headed children. As I walked by the vehicle on the way to my truck she was splitting the Danish between five kids.
If I had only been there a couple of minutes earlier I would have got those Danish, and they wouldn't have been wasted on some juvenile taste buds that could have eaten a twinkie as easily as those delightful pieces of pastry, and been happy about it.
I slowly got in the truck, grumbling the entire time, and was about to pull out when the car carrying my gems of sweetness passed by, with the kids arms out the windows. One of the hands displayed a Danish to the world as it went by.
I know, for a fact they were just trying to taunt me.

Panthera's Tristan Dickerson Profiled by Men's Health Magazine as One of "South Africa's Most Inspirational Men"
Panthera is thrilled to share that our own Leopard Program Coordinator, Tristan Dickerson, has been profiled by Men's Health Magazine as one of "South Africa's Most Inspirational Men" for his conservation work through Panthera's Furs For Life Leopard Project.
Read the following excerpt from South Africa's Men's Health Magazine to learn about Tristan's work to create an affordable and realistic faux leopard fur to reduce the hunting of leopards among the Shembe community, who wear the skins during religious ceremonies:
When President Jacob Zuma gets his dance on, the stuff flying around his bosom is leopard skin. Its use is widespread in Zulu culture and especially adherents of the Shembe religion. Enter Panthera's Furs For Life Leopard Project Coordinator Tristan Dickerson who realised that to save the leopard he needed the support of the Shembe.
"I noticed that a proportion of the animals that I was following were being killed by poachers for the illegal skin trade. Our focus then became to reduce the demand on leopard populations from the illegal skin trade, whilst conserving the culture of the Zulus. The core of the project is a high-accuracy and affordable fake fur that has been accepted by Zulu and Shembe elders and followers."
It took three years, but Dickerson convinced Shembe leaders that the future regalia of their church was not to be found on real cats.
#BestAdvice:Put emotion aside and focus on the bigger picture
"My work has brought me into contact with people of very differing opinions to myself when it comes to leopards. Some want to kill them because they're causing damage and some just want to kill them because it's a "challenge" for them. Some of these meetings bring up all sorts of emotions and what I've learnt is that if these emotions are portrayed then not a lot can be achieved. The process of developing a fur and building relationships within the Shembe Church has taken over three years. The success comes with the manner in which we have introduces the fake furs. Not once have we fought with the church about the illegal use of leopard skins, nor have we tried to enforce the law at gatherings where 1 000 leopard skins can be seen. All along we have worked closely with the church in creating the best sustainable solution. During this process the biggest lesson I have learnt is to hear someone out. Take the time to fully understand each situation instead of making emotional decisions."

(PP365) Hypersensitivity of cultured fibroblasts from retinoblastoma family members and apparently normal controls: colony formation during continuous low-dose rate irradiation and G2 chromosomal radiosensitivity.
Wilson, Paul*,1, Nagasawa, Hatsumi1, Warner, Christy1, Little, John2, Bedford, Joel1, 1 Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences, Fort Collins, CO, United States2 Center for Radiation Sciences and Environmental Health, Boston, MA, United States
ABSTRACT- The capacity of cells to form colonies during continuous low dose-rate (LDR) irradiation was examined for 14 fibroblast strains derived from radiosensitive bilateral retinoblastoma (Rb) family members and 15 apparently normal NIGMS cell bank controls. Cs-137 gamma rays were delivered continuously during the growth period at nine different dose-rates ranging from 0.5 to 8.4 cGy/h. The majority of fibroblasts obtained from the NIGMS cell bank from apparently normal individuals will grow with only a modest reduction (to 10%) in the proportion of cells capable of forming colonies during continuous irradiation at dose rates up to 3 cGy/h. This proportion decreases more markedly from 3 cGy/h to 6 cGy/h, where survival is further reduced to 0.1% (here termed the proliferation-limiting LDR). Fibroblasts derived from both affected Rb1+/- probands and the unaffected Rb1+/+ parents of probands in the Rb families, however, demonstrate a 90% reduction in colony formation ability by 1-2 cGy/h and more severely compromised colony formation ability (to 0.1%) by 3-3.5 cGy/h. A subset (33%) of apparently normal NIGMS cell bank fibroblast strains show a similarly high degree of hyper-radiosensitivity in this assay. The genetic basis of hyper-radiosensitivity of this group or the Rb family members (whose sensitivities do not seem attributable to Rb1 status) is not known. This assay is currently being applied as a genetic screen using a viral cDNA correction/complementation strategy, to potentially identify and further characterize genetic factors underlying LDR radiation sensitivity in these fibroblast strains. These hyper-radiosensitive groups also display 2-3-fold higher levels of G2 chromatid breaks following 50 and 100 cGy of acute Cs-137 gamma irradiation compared to normal fibroblast strains. Some unaffected parents of the Rb families also display high levels of tetraploidy and endoreduplication, indicating potential G2/M and S-phase checkpoint defects. Deficiencies in genes or pathways underlying these phenomena may help to explain the hyper-radiosensitivity demonstrated in these cells, but may also provide insight into why the large majority (75-90%) of bilateral Rb cases do not involve previous family history of the disease. This work was supported by grant DE-FG03-01ER63235 from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Key words: LDR, continuous irradiation, retinoblastoma, G2 assay

St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant to conduct quarterly siren test March 7
SOUTH HUTCHINSON ISLAND - Martin County's Division of Emergency Management, St. Lucie County's Department of Public Safety and Communications and Florida Power & Light (FPL) Company will conduct quarterly testing of the outdoor warning sirens for the St. Lucie nuclear power on Thursday, March 7 at noon.
The test will involve a one-minute sounding of all 90 sirens within the 10-mile St. Lucie plant emergency planning zone. Before and after the sirens sound, a message will be broadcast on the sirens' public-address system stating, "This is only a test."
FPL and St. Lucie and Martin counties regularly test the siren system to improve public awareness of its function and ensure its operability.
In the unlikely event of an actual emergency at St. Lucie plant, the sirens would sound for at least a five-minute period. Official instructions or information would follow on local radio and television.
For more information on St. Lucie's emergency plan, please visit the following web site: http://www.fpl.com/environment/nuclea....

Christine Lagarde
Does Romney Have an IMF Problem?
December 09, 2011
[Guest post by Jarad Vary] Any time you hear about a sensible idea to help keep the world economy afloat, you can bet on two things: First, Mitt Romney will probably give it a tepid thumbs up. Second, Republican lawmakers will make him sorry he did. After all-night negotiations in Brussels, this morning International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde made an encouraging announcement: EU countries had promised $267 billion to boost the Fund's lending capacity.
Why is the IMF Chief Almost Always French?
July 05, 2011
When Christine Lagarde was named the new IMF managing director last Tuesday, the announcement came as little surprise to many of those who had been paying attention to the selection process. Lagarde had long been considered the front-runner in the race to replace the embattled Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who, of course, stepped down in May following accusations of sexual assault.

An international team of geneticists has completed the genomic sequence of watermelon, Citrullus lanatus.
Watermelon is one of the most important fruits that contributes to food and economic security in addition to human nutrition. It is favored for the sweet, low calorie, high fiber, nutrient rich characters. Evidence from lots of studies suggests that watermelon is also a useful crop species for genetic research because of its small genome size, and the diverse genetic mutants and variants.
The study, published in the journal Nature Genetics, presents a genome sequence of an East-Asia watermelon cultivar 97103 and resequencing of 20 watermelon accessions spanning the genetic diversity of the species.
Many of the watermelon cultivars have narrow genetic diversity and are susceptible to a large number of diseases and pests. In the study, the team resequenced 20 watermelon accessions representing three different C. lanatus subspecies. As expected, wild watermelon contains greater genetic diversity than the cultivars.
The watermelon crop suffers significant losses from numerous diseases. It is urgent for researchers to investigate the molecular basis for better improving the pathogen resistance of this important crop. The study results showed that many resistance genes were located on chromosomes in clusters, indicating tandem duplications may serve as the evolutionary basis of resistance genes in watermelon genome. Moreover, evidence from the study supported the previous hypothesis that a large portion of disease resistance genes have been lost during watermelon domestication.
The integrative genomic and transcriptomic analysis yielded important insights into aspects of phloem-based vascular that held both in watermelon and cucumber. It is noteworthy that the watermelon phloem contained 118 transcription factors (TFs), whereas in cucumber only 46 TFs were identified and 32 TFs exit in both. Moreover, the team identified several genes associated with the valuable fruit quality traits, including sugar accumulation and citrulline metabolism.
"The high-quality genomic sequence opens a new way for the further studies of watermelon. The data resources could serve as a robust tool for better exploring the mechanisms underlying significant economic traits and regulatory networks and further for breeding improvement. It will also promote the evolutionary research of cucurbit crops and other basic biological studies such as sugar metabolisms," said study co-author Dr Jianguo Zhang of the Beijing Genomics Institute in Shenzhen, China.

The reusable Gelli ArtsTM gelatin plate revolutionized gelatin monoprinting when it came onto the market just a few years ago. Instead of having to make your own gelatin plate from scratch, waiting for it to gel (which it occasionally didn't), and then having to toss it out after it started to break down, suddenly you could monoprint on fabric at a moment's notice and clean-up was a snap.
With this invention, gelatin printmaking exploded with surface design artists playing gleefully with monoprinting techniques.
Gelli Arts started with two plate sizes, and has since come out with a giant plate, two small sizes (perfect for printing cards and small pieces of fabric), and an 8" circular plate.
On the Gelli Arts blog, I found another idea for adding dimension to your gelatin printing: adding texture with a homemade texture plate.
All you need is fusible Peltex (or a similar product), scissors or a rotary cutter and mat, parchment paper, and an iron.
Here's how to make the texture plate:1. Cut a piece of Peltex to the desired size to use as the substrate for your texture plate. 2. Place the cut substrate on a piece of parchment paper (on top of ironing surface)3. Cut pieces of Peltex into desired shapes.4. Arrange the pieces on the substrate with the fusible side down. (Layer some cut pieces on top of others to create dimension on the plate)5. Cover with parchment paper and press with a hot iron to fuse the layers together. (Follow manufacturer's instructions for fusing)6. Remove the parchment paper and trim along the edge of the texture plate.
Printing with these plates is like using a stamp.
1. Apply paint to the Gelli plate and roll into a smooth layer with a brayer.2. Press the texture plate firmly into the wet paint and remove.3. Place the printing paper or fabric on the painted Gelli plate.4. Rub to transfer the paint.5. Pull your print.
P.S. How do you add texture to your fabric printing? Leave your tips below.

The hospital is supposed to be a safe place, but one woman says it was anything but.
Click here to watch Brenton Awa's report.
The woman said part of the ceiling at Wahiawa General came crashing down on her elderly mother.
Donna Moulton was shocked when she got a phone call from staff at Wahiawa General Hospital.
"They said that some ceiling tiles had fallen on mom," said Moulton.
Her 90-year-old mother, Sue, has been in the long-term care unit for two years after a stroke paralyzed her from the waist down.
Moulton arrived Tuesday morning to see the damage for herself.
"I looked at the ceiling and there was like a 4-foot gap in the ceiling right above her head and she was just lucky that it didn't kill her or she didn't have a heart attack because of it," Moulton said.
But the hospital's CEO said no one was hurt.
In fact, he claims that less than a square-foot of the soggy tile fell and it didn't land on Moulton's mom.
"They both told me that it didn't fall and hit her, it hit the edge of her bed and some debris of it splattered on her," said Don Olden, CEO of Wahiawa General Hospital.
Hospital officials said nurses immediately cleaned up the mess.
Moulton said this all could have been avoided.
She said she'd been complaining to nurses about water leaking through the ceiling for nearly two years.
"I asked them if they got it fixed and they said, 'Yes, we got it fixed.' And I said, 'Are you sure?' and they said, 'Yes, it's fixed,'" said Moulton.
The hospital said it has no record of those complaints.
"If it was and somebody didn't do something about it, we'll take action and make sure that we get notified more appropriately from now on but we don't think it's been a long time," said Olden.
Olden also said his staff found the source of the leak.
The water that soaked up that portion of the ceiling tile was coming from the shower in the room above it.
They say that problem was fixed Monday.
The hospital also relocated Moulton's mother away from the area.

FRISCO, TX–The Vermont Shamrocks opened up the Tier II U-16 Girls' National Championship Tournament with a tough 6-4 loss to the Chicago Bruins.
With members of the team arriving just hours before game time, it is understandable that they may not have had their legs ready for the 7:00 am start time.
The Bruins came out strong, scoring three goals in the first ten minutes, but the Shamrocks got their legs going, and tied the game up at three.
The teams traded goals, moving the score to 4-4, but penalties were Vermont's undoing, and Chicago was able to net two power-play goals in the third to pick up the win.
Despite the loss, the team is feeling good and will look to right the ship today when they take on Michigan at 9:00 am.
If the team can win their next two games, they will advance to the semi-finals, control ling their own destiny from there

|120 ft. A sustained but well protected link with some new climbing towards the end; the hardest route on the wall. Start as for Wraith and climb this route to the break of The Smile. Follow this leftwards until the point at which Crooked Mile intersects. Follow Crooked Mile diagonally rightwards past its crux. Where Crooked Mile zigzags back leftwards, continue to the top peg of Wraith. Make tricky moves to get established on crimps in the horizontal seam to the right of the peg and follow this, traversing right via a hard move (crux), to gain good slots and the finishing few moves of Out of the Blue.
The name celebrates Tom's attempt to return from Font hidden in the back of a car under bouldering mats, having lost his passport!

The Keene Activity Center (KAC) is a place where (mostly) young libertarians and anarchists in Keene, New Hampshire congregate to talk philosophy, plan activism (including civil disobedience), and generally relax and socialize. Apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been trying very, very hard to infiltrate the KAC, judging from this account of the arrest of one of the club's members, Rich Paul, on marijuana charges.Read more »

Savannah Georgia was inspired by other areas in the country and has joined the growing marijuana celebrations and protests. Around 150 activist came out to a public square and protested Georgia's arcane drug laws. It was a mix of colorful,fun and eccentric protesters as well as average joes. It was a smashing success with minimal police harassment except for permits. Great job for a first celebration and we looking forward to seeing more.Read more »

You-Gotta-Be-Kidding TV (continued)
The macrodemographics of PC ownership, cable subscribership, and tube use (about half of US homes have computers; about two-thirds get cable; and a recent Media Metrix survey found that in 17 million homes the PC and TV are in the same room) suggest PC-TV crossover of some kind is looming. Technological convergence, albeit still an untidy knot of initiatives that involve bringing more bandwidth to the home on one hand and merging the TV-viewing and Web-surfing functions on the other, is beginning to build momentum. But those developments are matched by a form of convergence that's even simpler: Technology users new and old are so immersed in the PC experience that their appetite for it extends beyond the machines themselves. Users' interest in how their boxes work, how to get the most out of them, how to revive them when they die, and, increasingly, how to negotiate life and work on the Net have combined to fuel a giant how-to industry in print and online - big enough, one might sanely bet, to provide an audience for always-on TV.
An audience, say, for The Money Machine - tech, finance, and you - wherein we learn that, our nascent ecommerce utopia aside, a mall crawl still beats online shopping for most merchandise and services. Or Zip File, hosted by two neon-bright digital characters, Tilde and Dash. This show "compresses" selections from the channel's other programs - ZDTV, one presumes, for people who don't have time for ZDTV.
The real hitch is, there's no way to tell how many people are watching.
In Wahpeton, my shopping choices include JCPenney, a computer store, an arts 'n' crafts mall, a pair of liquor stores, and a big discount center called Pamida, where I've found a set of bargain long johns. But no one around Pamida resembles the busy, rich geeks that The Money Machine is targeting. Ten miles off the interstate, this town is just big enough to smudge the night horizon with its glow. How the hell did ZDTV get here?
A short course in cable-affiliate sales, the process of wheedling and cajoling that leads to becoming Channel 294 in Wahpeton: First you visit parent companies - unloved household names like TCI and Comcast and Time Warner, which are known as multiple-system operators, or MSOs. You negotiate what Wangberg is fond of calling a hunting license. That gives you the right to traipse cross-country trying to convince the MSOs' operators in places like Tuscaloosa, Kennebunkport, and all 24 Springfields that you have something their viewers don't know about yet but are nevertheless barely able to live without. The pitch is backed up by other considerations: How much of a launch fee, if any, you're willing to pay the operator to get a position in its lineup. How much you'll charge in license fees once you've secured a spot. What kind of fringe benefits - free airtime or promotion, an ad-revenue split, equity, or some other perk - you might offer. The goal is to get into as many of the roughly 66 million US homes with cable and 10 million with satellite dishes as possible.
It's not easy. Shelf space - available bandwidth on local cable systems for new channels - is scarce, and competition bloody. CNN, ESPN, Discovery, MTV, and the like, regarded as gotta-haves by most operators and their audiences, wield enormous clout. They can charge sky-high license fees - ESPN's rate card is reportedly 80 cents to a dollar a month per system subscriber. They can buy distribution with huge launch fees - Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. is said to have spent $10 per subscriber to get space for Fox News, for instance. The cable networks can also lean on operators to give space to their new channels (think ESPN2).
Halsey Minor, who founded CNET in 1992 with the aim of building an all-computing TV network, notes that it's the hefty license fees, not ad revenues, that often make the difference between black and red ink for even the established players. "No one knows," he adds, "what the model looks like for building a cable channel that has to live off advertising in a 150-channel environment." Those daunting realities led him to refocus CNET, now a Web portal with a modest TV presence that serves mostly to build brand recognition.
