Anderson judge lectures dad for taking kids to fight
More than dozen youths were held at gunpoint by police
More arrests could be made after a teenage dispute erupts into violence at a Target store's parking lot in Anderson.
The melee was reported at 11:47 p.m. Tuesday at 3519 Clemson Blvd., according to the Anderson City Police.
Five men, including a 42-year-old father of a teenager involved in the fight, received fines and lectures Wednesday morning in Anderson Municipal Court.
Prior to receiving a $465 fine or 30 days in jail, James Smith of Dobbins Bridge Road in Anderson told Judge Hugh Welborn that "stupidity" led him to drive his two sons, daughter and another teenage girl to the parking lot.
Police charged Mr. Smith with giving false information after he told officers that he was only there to pick up his son, William Smith, 18.
Police said about 15 teenagers poured from five vehicles, including the Smith's van, and attacked three other teenagers who were in the parking lot.
Admitting that he arrived with a baseball bat but did not use it, Edward Phillips, 20, of Anderson pleaded guilty to "armed to the terror of the public" and was fined $465 or 30 days in jail.
William Smith, Anthony Gray, 19, of Anderson and Jonathan Scarborough, 18, of Anderson each pleaded guilty Wednesday morning to assault and battery and were fined $465 or 30 days in jail. Judge Welborn, citing a lack of a criminal record, offered William Smith an opportunity to avoid a criminal record by enrolling in pre-trial intervention.
"You are not doing very well as a role model for your son," said Judge Welborn to James Smith, who stood next to his son and three other accused men, all wearing orange jumpsuits from the city jail.
"You ought to be ashamed."
About 10 p.m. Tuesday, two Anderson police officers responded to a call that involved three of the teenagers and one of the victims. The officers were still in the area and managed to stop the larger fight within minutes, holding 15 people at gunpoint until other officers arrived on the scene.
According to the incident report, Charles Ketron, 20, of Anderson said it was after the first fight when one of his assailants called him on his cellular phone, promising to return "and bring some buddies with them."
The three victims, ages 18, 19 and 20 from Anderson, Pelzer and Williamston, were punched and kicked in their heads. One was taken to AnMed Health Medical Center for treatment. All three were in court on Wednesday. Judge Welborn ordered their assailants to pay for any medical care.
Speaking to James Smith, Judge Welborn said: "I'm amazed by your lack of judgment. I can't believe you took your kids to a place where they could have been injured or killed."

Le Boucher Végétarien
Luxembourg's first meat-free butcher
Meat may be the mainstay of the Luxembourg diet but the growth of vegetarianism has grown helped by the launch of the country's first vegetarian butcher set up in 2013.
Entrepreneur José Da Costa is one of six people driving the Vegetarian Butcher concept in the Grand Duchy, starting in April 2013 with the opening of a new vegetarian restaurant at the Kyosk, in Kirchberg. A vegetarian himself, he knows just how hard it can be to find tasty meat alternatives or "faux meat" which tastes as good as the real thing.
"When I became vegetarian four years ago the types of products available here in Luxembourg sucked. There's a lot of selection but companies trying to imitate meat just aren't there yet," he told wort.lu/en, adding: "With 38 years experience of eating meat, it's very difficult to fool me."
The 42-year-old, who founded green architectural firm HAUSÎNG, explained that the Vegetarian Butcher concept derives from the Netherlands. There, a former eighth generation livestock farmer who became vegetarian and an animal rights politician worked to produce meat-free products from soja and lupini beans, which tasted and had the same texture as real meat.
After reading about the initiative last year, José and his wife went directly to the Dutch Vegetarian Butcher head quarters in Den Hague to taste the products. "We were amazed. For a big part of our lives we had eaten meat and fish. Here we had vegetarian or vegan products that tasted identical," he said.
Vegetarian Butcher products have exploded in the Netherlands during the last two years and are available to purchase in more than 500 different places. This growth is largely a result of food scandals and concerns about the provenance of meat. Given the recent horse meat scandals which rocked Europe, José thinks now is a good a time as ever to promote vegetarian products on the Luxembourg market.
But, before doing so, he reworked the image of the typical vegetarian. "Often, vegetarianism has been linked too much with this alternative lifestyle. We want to make it more normal for people to eat vegetarian food and to move away from this stereotype," he said.
He suggests that the somewhat contradictory brand name, the Vegetarian Butcher, will begin the process by sparking debate on the subject.
In addition to the Kyosk in Kirchberg, serves wholly vegetarian and vegan dishes, José's team have plans for a vegetarian butcher food truck and a shop-cum-restaurant.
And they don't plan to stop at Luxembourg. José is in talks with the Dutch firm to market its products in Germany, France and Belgium and he hopes one day to open a manufacturing plant in Luxembourg.

It seems that UK drivers aren't always completely honest when it comes to taking out their vehicle insurance policy.
Our findings reveal that at present drivers believe they can lie on their insurance policy and this won't have any consequences. In fact, 18% of motorists admitted they'd 'stretched the truth' when applying for a car insurance policy.
In response to this fact, Confused.com have put together a spoof video, highlighting common things people exaggerate about on their insurance policy.

Airport records: Only 2 percent of Naples flights after curfew
Jets using the Naples Municipal Airport after curfew are loud enough to wake residents sleeping along downtown Naples flight paths.
"If they come blowing over your house, you're gonna know it," said Andy McNaughton, a 20-year resident of Ninth Avenue South. "Of course they wake you up."
But the 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew at the Naples Municipal Airport, implemented in 1997, is voluntary and most pilots obey, according to a Daily News review of airport records. Nighttime operations accounted for only about 2 percent of total operations at the airport last year and have decreased over the years, airport documents show.
Of the 7,492 flight operations in May, the month with the most recent data available, just 167 took place during the voluntary curfew period. From January 1 to the end of May, 1,319 aircraft flew during the curfew hours out of 66,116 total flights — an average of about nine aircraft a night.
"Every single person sitting on the airplane wants to be back home," said Ted Soliday, executive director at the airport. "They've been flying all day, but weather or some other delay prevents that."
McNaughton said even one nightly curfew violation is unacceptable.
"It has gotten worse," she said. "(Aircraft) are much lower in the sky when they roar over. I would invite anybody to come sit in my living room during season, day or night."
Most flights during the curfew hours arrive before midnight or leave shortly before 7 a.m., showing pilots are trying to follow the rules, said Sheila Dugan, deputy executive director at the airport.
In addition, 80 of the 167 late arrivals in May fell into the public-service-exempt category, meaning they were performing mosquito control or emergency operations for police and fire and were not subject to the curfew. The public understands and approves of those uses, Soliday said.
Many of the 41 piston planes that flew late in May are single- or twin-engine aircraft that are relatively quiet and fly through the four flight schools on site. Florida is the ideal state for flight training because good weather prevails year round, Soliday said.
"Each student needs to get nighttime flying in," Soliday said. "They can't start that until an hour after sunset, but we don't get as many complaints about the little single-engine aircraft."
Airport traffic decreases in the off season when fewer people are visiting Naples or staying for the winter. But public-service-exempt flights increase as mosquitoes breed in the summer and late-night exterminations via low-flying aircraft become necessary. Exempt flights increased from 30 to 80 between April and May, mostly due to the pests, Soliday said.
"When people haven't heard them all year, it's surprising. People from up north don't expect the sound," Soliday said of the mosquito control aircraft.
Frank Van Essen, executive director at Collier Mosquito Control District, said mosquitoes are the worst in the summer and spraying for them between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. ensures few other animals will encounter the chemicals. The turboprop aircraft fly about 300 feet off the ground and the helicopters cruise at about 150 feet.
"I've heard that when the airport gets a complaint about noise, as soon as they say it's mosquito control (the caller) says 'Oh that's all right,'" Van Essen said.
McNaughton insists that's not what she calls to complain about.
"I constantly call with noise complaints," she said. "Most of our complaints, probably 75 to 90 percent, are during the season months and there are no mosquito planes flying around during the month. I don't think they're an issue."
Soliday said many residents who complain about late flights or noise forget the Naples airport went to great lengths years ago to uphold its ban against the loudest jets using its runways despite protest from the Federal Aviation Administration. That battle cost the airport a few million dollars.
"Now the mindset is 'What have you done for me lately?'" Soliday said.
Pilot Matt Simpson, who has flown into the Naples airport since 1977, said it's important to him, the airport and other pilots to act as good neighbors to area residents.
"We make it evident to out clients that Naples is an extremely noise-sensitive area and we have to respect their guidelines to the extent that we can," he said.
On average, Simpson said his company, Flight Management Services, only flies into the airport past curfew once or twice a year. Sometimes a meeting in another state or country goes late or a last-minute commitment comes up.
"We will, on occasion, depart the night before so as not to leave too early the next morning," Simpson said. "And we've certainly come in the next morning instead of after the curfew as long as it's not too inconvenient for the business or people we fly."
A new fly-safe, fly-quiet campaign encourages pilots to obey recommended safety and flight path procedures to limit residential impact, but Soliday and Dugan won't know how effective it's been for months.
"If you keep reminding them, you might get their attention," Soliday said. "I've never seen an airport do more to try to let pilots know it's a noise sensitive airport."
Simpson said other airports, including international cities, ban all late-night flights or charge high fees for late arrivals. The possibility of such measures in Naples is enough incentive to follow current guidelines, Simpson said.
Still, residents like McNaughton say comparing the situation to other parts of the country doesn't lessen the effect in Naples. McNaughton has suggested alternate flight paths through Naples Bay.
"I'm not the only one," she said. "There's quite a large group affected by this."

"Great place for part-time work or a summer job. "
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
Great work environment, easy work. You get to help students. Most of the people are helpful. You get to learn how to use the media and tools that are used in a variety of classes. By troubleshooting some problems for teachers or students, you get to learn a few things as well. There's great satisfaction in knowing you taught someone something that he or she needed help on.
Some students are just plain lazy. They will ask you to do their assignment for them instead of helping them learn the material. You must explain to them this will not do them any good in class or in life. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't.
Advice to Management
None, I felt they did their job in a satisfactory manner.

It's what it is and has a monopoly.
Very bureaucratic, aged, and highly conservative and leadership that is highly aversive to institutional advancement and any changes. They typically give no authority to actually do jobs but micromanage, or else don't micromanage and then kill advancement because it requires change.
Advice to Management

It has to be said and I am sorry if this makes you uncomfortable. As someone who reads a lot of listing marketing remarks I find many of them are just the same as all of the others. Boring.
'Easy to entertain', 'move-in ready, 'fresh paint', 'gourmet'..everyone says that and since everyone does, it has become cliche.
Rarely do I come across remarks that make me FEEL what it is like to be or live in that home and neither do buyers. When I do, that home stands out. Think about it, the remarks are one of your listing's first impressions. Don't you want it to stand out from the crowd? As real estate agents, you know homes better than anyone else!
Some of you know that I have a strong love for mid-century homes. My heart starts beating faster when I see chrome edging on kitchen counter tops. This only happened because I started learning about my own mid-century home. When I started learning about it, I loved it. So when I read remarks that only point out the new items in the house it feels as if the agent is trying to strip away what makes the house so great in order to make the house new – to help it complete with newer homes on the market.
Guess what? It won't…unless you show how it is wonderfully unique.
Why not mention the arched doorways or the well-maintained original subway tile in the bathroom? What about the classically simple landscaping? In my experience, KNOWING about a home can help LOVE a home…its history….its charm. Yes, I would love to have my morning coffee in the sunny breakfast nook! For inspiration take a gander at ModCloth.com's clothing descriptions. These are not your everyday descriptions. Compare them to this. Can you FEEL the difference?
Each home is unique. Don't try to make it cookie-cutter.

New ideas can change human brain cells
Researchers have identified an important molecular change that occurs in the brain when we learn and remember.
The research shows that learning stimulates our brain cells in a manner that causes a small fatty acid to attach to delta-catenin, a protein in the brain.
This biochemical modification is essential in producing the changes in brain cell connectivity associated with learning, the study finds.
In animal models, the scientists found almost twice the amount of modified delta-catenin in the brain after learning about new environments. While delta-catenin has previously been linked to learning, this study is the first to describe the protein's role in the molecular mechanism behind memory formation.
Co-author Shernaz Bamji, an associate professor in UBC's Life Sciences Institute, said that more work is needed, but this discovery gives us a much better understanding of the tools our brains use to learn and remember, and provides insight into how these processes become disrupted in neurological diseases.
Stefano Brigidi, first author of the article and a PhD candidate Bamji's laboratory, said that when they introduced a mutation that blocked the biochemical modification that occurs in healthy subjects, they abolished the structural changes in brain's cells that are known to be important for memory formation.
The study has been published in journal Nature Neuroscience.

Actually, you don't have to imagine. Their federal government conducts numerous surveys that contain detailed information about the living conditions of those classified as poor - information that comes directly from those in poverty.
Are they experiencing significant hardship? Do they just barely scrape by, with no modern conveniences and hardly any food? Some do, unfortunately. But for most, it's a different story.
Air conditioning? Cable TV? A car? The average household defined as poor by the government has these, the survey data show. It also has a microwave, a washer and dryer, a dishwasher, a coffee maker, and a cordless phone. Half of poor households have a computer. Add to this two color televisions and a DVD player, along with a video-game system such as an Xbox or a PlayStation for those households with children.
But what about where they live? One could have any number of modern gadgets and conveniences and still live in a broken-down, cramped residence. That isn't the case, however. "Poor Americans are well housed and rarely overcrowded," writes Heritage Foundation welfare expert Robert Rector in a new study. "In fact, the houses and apartments of America's poor are quite spacious by international standards. The typical poor American has considerably more living space than does the average European."
Moreover, 43 percent own their own homes, the government data show, nearly all of which are in good condition.
OK, so the average poor family lives in an uncrowded house or apartment, it's in good repair, and it has many modern conveniences. What about food? Again, the surveys indicate that, on average, the poor are well-nourished. The level of protein, vitamins and minerals that children in poverty consume is virtually identical to what middle-class children get.
Some poor households do experience temporary food shortages. But again, this is a distinct minority. More than 92 percent of poor households say they always have had "enough food to eat" over the past four months. Only 6 percent say they "sometimes" don't have enough, and 1.5 percent say it happens often.
The point of all this is not to argue that there aren't people in this country living in poverty. There are. And those truly in need deserve a helping hand. But the good news is that the problem isn't as widespread or as chronic as we're led to believe. We wind up wasting money when we pretend otherwise.
In addition, we fuel the anti-American propaganda spread by countries such as Russia and China, who accuse the United States of human rights violations. Why? Because, they claim, the millions of Americans classified as poor are enduring a life of desperate poverty - "like a Third World nightmare," as the Russia Today TV network once put it.
The average poor household in the United States isn't living the high life. But it's also not the dust-bowl existence pictured in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," or the dramatic "Two Americas" picture painted by John Edwards. As scholar James Q. Wilson notes, "The poorest Americans today live a better life than all but the richest persons a hundred years ago."
We do those who experience substantial hardship a real disservice when we spread misinformation that inflates their true numbers, especially in a time of tight budgets. We need to base anti-poverty policy on facts, not on lurid anecdotes and exaggerated rhetoric.

Timber cutting on Clemson's Simpson farm upsets local residents
CLEMSON UNIVERSITY - PENDLETON — Nearly 120 acres of what once was a Clemson University hardwood forest are being clear cut for pastureland and other uses.
Some local residents who have hiked, trained their dogs and ridden their horses on the property for years wonder why Clemson has chosen what they consider a drastic measure to remove the timber.
The property, at the 2,500-acre Simpson Agricultural Research Station off Lebanon Road near Pendleton, is part pasture, part old-growth timber. Trees haven't been cut on the property for years — some say more than 30 — and one nearby resident, Betsy George, wonders why Clemson has agreed to sell off the timber now.
Stassen Thompson, director of land management for the university, said it's simple. The university received a multi-million-dollar research grant to study grass-fed beef cattle and needs additional pasture for the multi-year program. Officials have identified 118 acres of timber that are being cut, he said.
The land has to be clear cut to turn it into pasture, Thompson said.
Debbie Dalhouse, a Clemson spokeswoman, said the main part of the grass-fed-beef study is actually being done at the university's Edisto Center in Blackwell, but there are four smaller projects being conducted at the Simpson station.
Dalhouse said the school's public service activities and agriculture departments also needed to raise money this year, and that led to the decision to harvest the trees. The agriculture stations don't receive money from tuition and are more self-supporting, she said. As budgets have been cut with the economic downturn, some departments have had to raise funds.
"The money was definitely a factor," she said. "It was not purely to convert into pasture."
Buzz Williams, executive director of the Chattooga Conservancy and a Clemson graduate in forestry, said he visited the site where the cutting was done. What he saw disturbed him.
"It was a hack job," he said. "You can't call what they did forestry. It's basically liquidating a stand of timber for a quick buck with no eye for biological diversity. I counted the rings on one tree; it was easily 150 years old."
Williams said it was a bad time to sell timber because market prices are down. He said the timber stand was old growth with biological diversity, and the size of the cutting "was way too big."
"Even in the 1980s they never did (clear cut) more than 40 acres," said Williams, a former U.S. Forest Service employee. "They are just devastating the forest."
Thompson said he accepted the highest bid for the project, which totaled $160,000.
"The forest manager tells me he got the same price this year as last year, that they were good relative to the rest of the market," Thompson said.
"There was no research or teaching being utilized in any of that118 acres," he said. "Had there been any of that going on, we would have not cut it."
Dalhouse said that because some of the land cannot be used for pasture, it will be replanted with pine. Natural hardwood re-growth is also planned, she said. Officials don't know yet how much land will be used for pasture, she said.
Two Web sites have been created over the issue. One asked for people to sign a petition to stop the timber cutting, "Stop the sale of trees to pay for education." The other is a Facebook page: "Tell Clemson University to Stop Selling Our Forests."
George has lived near the Simpson research station for 34 years and has visited its forest area and trails for about the same length of time.
"We took our children there and took our friends over there," said George, who with her husband has visited the property sometimes several times a week since the mid-1970s. "I thought someday we would take our grandchildren there."
In May, some people concerned with the clear cutting sent a letter to Clemson trustees, who referred the matter to Clemson President James Barker. He responded in a June 4 letter that Clemson uses "best-practices in scientific natural resource management."
"Some areas of Clemson's forest lands are in environmentally sensitive areas and are protected from logging," Barker wrote. "In other areas, timber is harvested to generate much-needed revenue to support the research and education programs of Clemson's Public Service and Agriculture division.
"A tract of about 118 acres of the 2,500-acre Simpson station has been cut," Barker wrote. "Other tracts have been evaluated for sale as well."
The letter says that harvested areas will be replanted as forestland or converted to pasture.
"I have been assured that all environmental rules and best forest management practices were met and exceeded, including full protection of designated stream-side management zones," Barker wrote.
Best-practices cutting requires 40 feet of trees between secondary creeks and 100 feet between main streams, with 50 percent of trees allowed to be cut within that border, Dalhouse said. Clemson set aside 50 feet for secondary creeks and did not cut at all, she said.
Several trees were cut to the edge of several ponds on the property. Thompson said the timber company is not required to leave stands near ponds, only creeks.
George said the land where trees have been cut would not make good pasture because it is hilly.
"You can't use this property for pasture," she said.
She also questioned whether a habitat study done on the property was accurate. The study found that there was no critical habitat affected by the timber harvesting. She said she has seen many native plants, including Solomon seal, buckeyes, ginger, swamp sunflower and joe-pye weed. She also believes there were some Jefferson oaks growing there, oaks that descended from Thomas Jefferson's farms.
She's also seen foxes, deer, turkeys, a coyote and other animals on the property.
Thompson said people need to remember that "it's a working farm." The grant requires expansion of pastureland, he said.
"If this was located on another site where people weren't using it for walking or whatever … it wouldn't be an issue," he said.
Thompson said Clemson manages other forest land that is dedicated for ecological study and open for the public to use. No harvesting of trees is allowed on that property, he said. That totals 17,500 acres, Dalhouse said.
The money raised from the sale of the timber, $160,000, "goes to assist with the management of the forest," Thompson said. "In particular, it will go into replanting areas that need to be replanted, to reclaiming part of those areas and reseeding (for pastures). … Some of that money will go into fencing."
Williams said clear cutting the timber will cause a problem with sedimentation, when water runoff fills creeks and ponds with sediment because there is nothing to hold it back.
"I wouldn't be opposed to (Clemson) doing some timber management, but certainly not what they did," Williams said.
Thompson disagreed.
"The area where you clear cut … will regenerate faster than when you leave seed trees," he said.
George believes Clemson has decided that 300 acres will be cut.
Thompson said other Clemson timber property has been evaluated for sale, but not in the immediate future. That means at least three to four months, he said.
"We have inventory work on additional tracts, but I do not have anything in the near term that I would be putting up for sale," Thompson said.
George said she is concerned that more land will be taken and that Clemson agriculture officials are afraid to speak out about what's happened. She said she would like Clemson officials to sit down with concerned residents.
"There would be a lot of good will for Clemson if they stop and talk to us," she said.
Dalhouse said the clear cutting was a business decision.
"Unfortunately what people don't realize is it is a working farm, not a public park," she said. "They are more than welcome to come utilize the experimental forest."

Thunder Insider: OKC ranks high in ticket sales, lower in filled seats
Thunder fans received kudos nationwide for supporting their new NBA team. Rightfully so. Oklahoma City finished third in full season tickets sold, was ninth in percentage of seats sold (97.7), ranked 10th in ticket revenue generated ($46.0 million) and was 11th in overall attendance (18,704).
But "packing the Ford Center" is misleading. According to NBA turnstile counts published recently on CBSSports.com, Oklahoma City finished 16th in "actual attendance" out of 30 teams. According to NBA turnstile counts, the Thunder averaged 14,415 fans a game. That's one area the Thunder should improve. One reason why — when the league released the 2009-10 schedule, the Thunder has 22 weekend home games compared to 16 last season. Last season, there were zero Saturday home games. This season, there will be three. The Ford Center will host nine Friday games and 10 Sunday games. "We feel the combination of more weekend games, and a second season of experience with the frequency of games, should mean better use of tickets by season ticket members," said the Thunder's Brian Byrnes, senior vice president of sales and services. Many fans don't realize that box score attendance figures aren't actual fans at the game but are based on tickets sold and complimentary tickets supplied to the NBA, players, coaches and community groups. Before anyone overreacts, all teams have thousands of no-shows. The Los Angeles Lakers led the league with 92.2 percent of seats filled. Only three other teams (Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics) averaged 90 percent or better. Oklahoma City was 77.4 percent. Also noteworthy: Less than 5,000 fans attended the Jan. 26 game with the New Jersey Nets due to an ice storm, or the Thunder would have finished two spots higher in actual attendance, closer to 15,000. Three NBA teams didn't average 10,000 in actual attendance. Five playoff teams — the New Orleans Hornets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and the Atlanta Hawks — averaged less than 14,000 in actual attendance. Atlanta handed out a league-high 5,616 complimentary tickets, a strategy most teams use, hoping fans will spend money on food, souvenirs and parking. The Thunder actually was on the low end in comp tickets (less than 2,000). The bottom line: Oklahoma City team chairman Clay Bennett and his ownership group flourished where it counted most — money generated. The Sonics produced only $18.8 million in ticket revenue their final season in Seattle.

The 11th annual Snow Golf – Snolf – tournament to benefit the St. Lawrence Valley Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is almost here with volunteers preparing to set up the course on Feb. 23.
Organizer Jennifer Stevenson said this years course will feature nine, par-three holes set up in Father Martins Field on Hasbrouck Street behind the Knights of Columbus.
Its a fun day, she said. Its a really good time.
The event costs $25 per person and will be run with a captain and crew format with four-person teams, Ms. Stevenson said.
Tees and colored balls - which are a must in the snow - will be provided, Ms. Stevenson said, adding that a map of the course and a scorecard will be given to players when they start.
Last year Ms. Stevenson said they had 18 teams show up for the event.
And although this winter has so far been plagued by cold weather and heavy snow, Ms. Stevenson said the event has gone on every year despite blizzards, ice and even mud.
We play in any circumstances, she said. We make it happen.
The event will feature raffles in addition to food available throughout the day and a cash bar.
Inside the Knights of Columbus Hall, music will be provided by DJ Ken Chase to keep onlookers and people waiting to play entertained.
A putting contest will be held and there will be door prizes in addition to prizes for the best team.
Ms. Stevenson said the knights are donating the space to the SPCA for the event. Ms. Stevenson said the event is a substantial fundraiser for the SPCA, a society dedicated to helping animals in need. The SPCA provides adoption services, advocates for spay/neuter as the only humane way to control pet populations and educates people on how to treat animals.
Anyone looking for more information should contact Ms. Stevenson at 394-3223 or visit www.snolf.org.

There are a few lines of fine print on the back of Harvard football tickets which, if anyone took them seriously, would put an end to one of the biggest booms in Boston's economic history: ticket scalping.
"Under Massachusetts laws," the fine print reads, "this ticket is a revocable license. If sold or offered for sale at a premium it becomes void." During most of the year, this warning is about as relevant as the Nineteenth Amendment. As the Yale game approaches, ticket scalping becomes hysteric, and nothing can stop it.
This year, according to seasoned observers, the ticket situation is tighter than ever. People at the Harvard Ticket Office, who (seem to) sigh with longing for a return of the bad old days, point out that the team is good this year and alumni want to see it. Yale tickets are not made available to the non-alumni Boston public, but the local newspapers have built up hometown boys Leo and Gatto into the heroes of the Hub.
Search for Tickets
The search for tickets, on bulletin boards, in the CRIMSON, by the grapevine, began early this year. "Feel free to think in terms of $15," one classified said optimistically. There was no surprise when a reporter masquerading as a scalper called and offered a pair for $45.
One classified, which promised only a "good price," got more than 40 offers. The average for seats on the 50 yard line was $30 a pair. Scalping gets progressively less lucrative down field, and you're lucky to get away with a 100 per cent mark up behind the goal posts.

JAMAICAN ATHLETE ABUSES GIRLFRIEND - Flees USA after incident
A Jamaican athlete has allegedly sprinted from the United States of America following reports that he assaulted his girlfriend, who is also an athlete.
THE STAR understands that both athletes last represented Jamaica at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
Information reaching our news team is that the pair had a recent dispute in which the female athlete was allegedly beaten, resulting in the male athlete leaving the states in an attempt to maintain a low profile.
A source close to the two told THE STAR that reports had also surfaced in the past that the two had an abusive relationship.
"A something him do all the while. They have been together for sometime, through all college. She got pregnant outside their relationship. At one point in time they were training together and problems arose and she had to leave," the source claimed.
THE STAR also gathered that they were enrolled in different colleges while in the United States, but could only maintain a strained relationship because of the frequent abuse.
Our news team could not confirm if the female athlete made a report to the police about the assault.
Efforts by THE STAR to speak with both athletes proved futile.

However, when they analysed a number of multi-gene signatures selected from previous studies, this heterogeneity was considerably less significant.
The gene sets differed in their variance between biopsies, the authors found. The most pronounced heterogeneity was observed in immune response-related genes, while the least heterogeneous were the classifiers based on genes selected by advanced bioinformatical methods from both cell culture experiments and patient tissues.
"Overall, the heterogeneity among the potentially predictive genes was small enough and we conclude that this factor should not prohibit their effective use in clinical practice," Dr Jarząb says.
"Our study confirms that it is possible to address tumour heterogeneity when carrying out routine diagnostic procedures in patients. Our results may help to introduce the better tailoring of preoperative treatment."
Commenting on the results, Dr. Angelo Di Leo, Head of the Sandro Pitigliani Medical Oncology Unit and Chair of the Oncology Department at the Hospital of Prato, Istituto Toscano Tumori, Italy, said: "If other studies report similar results to this one, then it could become common practice to evaluate prognostic or predictive breast cancer markers from more than one primary tumour area."
"The study is innovative because it is one of the first to address the question of intratumour heterogeneity. It means that not all the cells from the same tumour have the same characteristics, and if we want to have a clear picture of the tumour biology we should not limit the evaluation of tumour markers to one area of the tumour itself," Dr. Di Leo said.

Newsletters "Yes," but do you produce an eNewsletter vs "Print Newsletter" or Both? This statement is a repeat from the last issue but it is worth repeating! You need to be creating an e-version and posting it online.
Next question is, "How rich in resources and content is your eNewsletter?"
Yes, you want to include what you are doing but also highlight items and events relevant to your industry niche and the consumers you want to reach. These types of resources show your commitment to the industry and the community. It can be your support for a "non-profits walk," to promoting a movie or live streaming event at another location. Here are some examples that might be a match for your group or give you some ideas:
- July 13, 2015 – Monday
White House Conference on Aging (WHCOA) & the Live Streaming Event

Teachers: They're All Bill Ayers Now
How a '60s radical helped poison a noble profession.
March 10, 2009 - 12:30 am
Students at Georgia Southern University did not get to hear Bill Ayers speak last week for the now oft-given reason of expensive security. Like students at other campuses, some students there objected to the use of their student fees to bring in the co-founder of the Weather Underground. Ayers' past also led Illinois State Senator Larry Bomke to call for his firing through his proposal to forbid a public university from employing someone who has "committed a violent act against the United States."
"Ayers may be a respected professor and author to some people now, but that doesn't excuse the horrible acts he has committed in the past" is what Georgia Southern senior Lance Sullivan told the student newspaper, the George-Anne Daily. It's a testament to the ignorance of what goes on in colleges of education that such statements are often accepted as truisms.
Although his public speaking engagement was canceled, Ayers has traveled from the Midwest to this Georgia campus as a guest speaker in the College of Education and to serve on doctoral committees. As an endowed professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago, Ayers does the speaking circuit for conferences like the Council for American Studies Education, where he is touted as a "leader in the educational reform movements for over forty years." This year's theme, appropriately, was "Education and Change," a diversion from last year's theme, which was, naturally, "Art and War: Reading, Representing, and Resisting Conflict." And he is scheduled to address future teachers and education professionals on March 19 at Pennsylvania's Millersville University, founded as a teachers college. The protests at Millersville too are based on his past involvement with the Weathermen, while he is referred to as "a member of Chicago's intellectual establishment." The commonplace gets repeated on cable news programs. In October, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman told Greta van Susteren that Ayers had been invited by the University of Nebraska's College of Education for his expertise on urban education.
In fact, in their announcement Publishers Weekly called the upcoming graphic novel adaptation of Ayers' To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, "a much-praised memoir of Ayers' life as a teacher." They characterized him as a "serious and well-respected scholar" and described To Teach as a "peer-reviewed work of scholarship on Ayers' teaching precepts as well as a vivid recollection of his adventures in the classroom." Acquisitions editor Meg Lemke was quoted as saying that the original book is "a popular course adoption text."

I asked to see the wedding site and place the for reception a few weeks before the wedding. The bride walked me through where the chairs will be set up, where she will walk in from, and where the ceremony will take place. She showed me where she will be getting ready before the ceremony. We walked through how things will be set up for the reception. I looked for windows and lights. This is giving me the opportunity to plan out where I should be photographing. I find that I am thinking about the upcoming day in my spare moments, thinking about what angles would be good to capture what part of the ceremony. I dont want to be distracting to the ceremony, and I dont want to miss any photos.
This visit let me know that I am facing a photo shoot in a room with no windows and romantic lighting that doesnt put off a lot of light. There are two spotlights which will be on, which will make her hot, and create a harsh light to one side of the bride and groom. I know that I need to find a soft box to light the couple from the other side. I know that I will need my tripod to avoid camera shake since the lighting will be low, and I will be using the vibration reduction setting on my camera lens to help as well.
I am also be attending the rehearsal. I will bring all of the equipment that I have and it will give me the opportunity to take some test shots with the lighting that is available. I will also know exactly where the people will be and where the best place for me to set up all of my shots. I will be able to pop them into my computer and see what is will work well for the ceremony, and what settings will be best for the camera.
I am getting extra SD cards so that I can shoot in both RAW and .JPG formats all day and not worry about running out of disk space. I will bring my laptop in case I need to download the pictures and get back to shooting. I will have one case for empty cards and one case for full cards to keep them separate. I plan to have my battery completely charged and a spare battery in my pocket.
The bride doesnt want to spend hours taking pictures before getting to the reception, so I am working with her on a list of photographs that she wants to have. I am working on a schedule of getting through shots the easiest, so that I can let people know who will be next and have them ready. I do know that nothing ever goes completely by plan either, and I know that I may have to improvise for getting everyone photographed.
I am almost as excited as the bride is for her wedding day, and I know that I will be able to face this challenge fully prepared. A little bit of preplanning and preparation will make sure that it is a success!

CULVER CITY, Calif., Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SOFIE BIOSCIENCES, an emerging in vivo imaging diagnostics company focused on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) probes, scanners and chemistry systems, announced today that the National Institute of Health has awarded the company a grant under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. This Phase II award, for approximately $1.8M over three years, will be administered by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to support the development of the first digital chip technology for the rapid and easy synthesis of PET probes for neurobiology applications.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131001/MM90302LOGO)
"This award is further validation of the potential for digital microfluidics to have a significant impact in research and patient care. It also comes in the wake of Illumina's acquisition of Advanced Liquid Logic for next-generation sequencing based on the same digital fluidic handling principle known as electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD)," said Patrick Phelps, President & CEO.
By developing a point-of-care radiosynthesizer that integrates the many unit operations for synthesis, purification, and quality control into a benchtop, affordable device, scientists and physicians in diverse fields may now have access to the vast library (3,000+) of PET probes without the normal infrastructure of prohibitively expensive equipment and specialized personnel that is currently a roadblock to using PET. The technology in this grant will provide researchers and clinicians additional tools to study the brain in normal and diseased states, and subsequently develop therapeutics to improve patient quality of life.
These funds will augment internal R&D investment, allowing the company to accelerate the commercialization of a microfluidic-bas

This is the first and only system of its kind to be installed in the UK, however, based on the innovative design from the Newcastle team, similar systems have already been exported to IVF clinics in the Netherlands, Canada and Thailand.
This positive benefit to IVF patients came from investment into cutting edge research in embryonic stem cell research and was funded by the Medical Research Council and One North East.
Newcastle University's Professor Mary Herbert who led the research team at Newcastle Fertility Centre at Life, part of the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and based at the Centre for Life, said: "Our aim was to keep eggs and embryos in conditions similar to those they would experience naturally - inside a woman's body. This led our team to design and develop a system in which it is possible to perform all of the technical procedures while maintaining stable conditions throughout the IVF process."
Alison Murdoch, Professor of Reproductive Medicine who leads the clinical service at Newcastle Fertility Centre at Life said: "Growing good embryos is the key to IVF success and everyone, even those who have a very small prospect of success, deserve to have the best possible chance. Since installing this new technology over 850 babies have now been born."

Motorist who hit cyclist and injured passenger while over-taking two cars at speed keeps licence
Cyclist on cycle path thrown in air as car left road while colleague travelling in vehicle left seriously injured court told
Previous News
Next News
A driver who lost control of his BMW Z4 as he overtook two other vehicles, resulting in his passenger suffering serious injuries and also causing minor injuries to a cyclist he hit, has managed to keep his driving licence.
Ben Fulton of Cambridge, aged 28 and a salesman for a property company, had his licence endorsed with six penalty points by Cambridge Magistrates' Court,.
The court also fined him £650 and ordered him to pay £85 in costs plus a £15 victim surcharge, reports the website Cambridge News.
He had earlier admitted driving without due care and attention.
Cyclist Tom Serby sustained cuts and bruises in the incident on Barton Road in Cambridge in August last year. He had been riding on an adjacent cycle path when he was struck by Fulton's vehicle after it left the road.
However, a colleague of Fulton's who was a passenger in his vehicle was left with a serious back injury.
Prosecuting counsel Paul Brown said: "Having left the roundabout, Fulton was attempting to overtake two cars when he hit the gravel verge and lost control of his BMW.
"At the time, there was a cyclist travelling towards Cambridge.
"The BMW went right across the cycle path and hit the cyclist. An eyewitness told police how the cyclist went up into the air and hit the ground.
"The cyclist managed to get himself up and started to drink some water.
"But it was the front seat passenger in Fulton's car who suffered the most serious injuries, including a serious back injury.
"The passenger, a colleague of his, told police that he felt Fulton was driving too fast and that he feared he was going to lose control of the car."
Speaking for Fulton, Charles Snelling explained that his client had displayed "extreme remorse," saying that "Mr Fulton went straight over to the cyclist and was extremely concerned.
"He has since apologised to the man and has shown extreme remorse. My client is a salesman and travels the country in his car.
"Up until now he has had an entirely clean licence," he added.
"salesman for a property company" == "estate agent gimp" ?

I'd be interested to know what the speed limit is on Barton Road. Near me we have at leads one motorist death a year on a by-pass with a speed limit of 70mph that should really be 50mph. We are trying to get it reduced as it has 2 roundabouts on it and adjacent cycle paths and it's only a matter of time before some muppet sling shots the roundabout at 60mph doing the same as this gentleman and kill both passenger and passing cyclist.
I think had it been me the driver would have had a serious lower back injury as well: my cleated foot up his arse.
Silly me. You're probably right....

how typical ... the driver that causes all the injuries
and trauma is un-harmed ... even his wallet gets away
with it ... the punishment is a joke ...

I grew up on Barton Road. Between moving there in 1983 and leaving in 1998 the growth in traffic was enormous and the prevalence of speeding became sufficient that the police had a very successful occasional speed trap there.
It's one of those awkward places where a fast A-road turns into a 30mph road at a city boundary. Should be easy and safe, but there's always some tool whose journey is vastly more important than anyone's safety.

My client is a salesman and travels the country in his car.
Up until now he has never been caught.
Have phrased that last line more appropriately.
If the selfish bastard feels his car and his license are required to do his job then he should drive accordingly. He should be banned and made to learn his lesson by having to walk (or cycle) places for a while.
Love the attempt to say going straight to the cyclist after mounting the kerb and sending him flying shows him in some kind of good light! I hope his colleague sues him.
So much for the arrogant commentators telling cyclists to get off the road and use the cycle path, doing that's even more dangerous!

But in the end we'll all end up paying for him...
His passenger will eventually claim medical damages and since the driver has been to court then likely to receive a generous payout..cyclist could claim too..!
Insurance premiums up again

Insurance is a necessary part of the cost of running a gas-guzzling, cyclist-mowing, pedestrian-crushing tonne of steel. The privilege of riding effortlessly along in a horseless carriage does not come without responsibilities. That is why someone who breaks the law and does harm this way should be punished more forcefully than a fine and a few points on his license.
Those of us who ride our bikes to work daily and own a car don't ask for a chunk of their VED refunded come renewal time. We all pay towards the cost of hospitals, Rescue helicopters, Coastguard, Fire Service and lots more besides so that people can climb mountains, ride motorbikes, drink to excess, smoke cigarettes.... That's the way it is.

Yeah and up until that day Raoul Moat hadn't shot a policeman in the face. He should have been banned as a minimum. Did he pay for the blokes bike to be fixed/checked over?.

I quote this verbatim from the comments thread on www.cambridge-news.co.uk's story. I am not Tom Serby!!
Tom Serby - posted 16/01/2012 17:47
"I am the cyclist the driver ploughed into at 70 mph. The police said it was a miracle I survived the accident with minor injuries only. I was prevented by the Ambulance crew from taking the witnesses' details at the scene. I was later told by the Police that I could not have the witnesses' details as it was against data protection laws. The police then claimed that they were having difficulty obtaining the witnesses' statements which is why the charge was only careless driving (not dangerous driving). I had to strenuously chase the Police for any update. Today's report (CN) says that at the sentencing hearing the defence barrister told the Court the driver was full of remorse and had apologised. He has not apologised to me. I have sued the driver and await compensation from his insurers."

Surely the defence barrister is in contempt of court if he is lying? Which must be pretty serious if you're a barrister...?

Nah, they do it all the time. It's why they get paid so much. It's only Magistrates Court anyway, nothing too 'serious'.
The news item is here. At the time of writing Tom Serby's comment is on page 2 of 7 at the moment. Good luck to him with his case.

CBS announced Condoleezza Rice has joined the network as a contributor, and the former Secretary of State shared her thoughts on Inauguration Day and how President Obama should handle the Middle East in his second term.
"What a wonderful celebration this is of our democracy, the peaceful transition of power," said Rice. "When you've traveled around the world, not every country can take this moment for granted."
While Obama will speak to everyone today, Rice was asked what he needs to say to Republicans. "I would hope the president would use this opportunity to say, I've won the election, but this is now, we're all Americans to move forward together. Now it's a question of reuniting the country around some big issues."
Rice said Obama's biggest foreign policy challenge is in the Middle East, where al-Qaida is spreading into other parts of the world. Other issues she noted needed attention were the Arab Spring, where there was still hope for democracy and tolerance, returning to address the Palestinian problem, and Iran.
"And always Iran," Rice said. "As a shadow over the chaos in the Middle East, Iran's revolutionary zeal and tendency to make trouble."
Rice suggested Obama's speech to the American people should say, "that we have to stay engaged, we don't have an option to leave the stage. American leadership is needed in this world."
