UPDATE: Wednesday – 12/5/2012, 4:59pm ET
WASHINGTON – Police have released photos from a surveillance video showing a suspect who placed an improvised explosive device at the drive-through ATM at Virginia Credit Union.
The suspect appears to be wearing a ski mask, jeans, a dark colored hoodie under a dark blue or black overcoat, and a head lamp.
Police say he may have carried a backpack or bag with him and he could have arrived on foot, in a car or bike.
Anyone with information concerning an individual who may have an interest in explosives or who may have been at large in the early morning hours of Dec. 5 is urged to contact Detective Doug Perkins at 540-654-5758.
EARLIER: Wednesday – 12/5/2012, 4:59pm ET
WASHINGTON – Most people use ATM cards to get cash from a bank or credit union. Fredericksburg Police say someone tried a different method at a Fredericksburg branch of the Virginia Credit Union: An explosive device.
An employee of the credit union called police at about 9 a.m. after the employee noticed the ATM machine was damaged and had scorch marks, says Natatia Bledsoe with the Fredericksburg Police.
At about the same time the employee called police, a resident of a nearby apartment complex called to say she had heard an explosion at about 4 that morning, Bledsoe says.
"It was loud enough that it actually set off car alarms in the area," she says.
The woman "looked out her window and saw a figure walking around the bank," Bledsoe says.
The woman was unable to give a good description of that person to police, Bledsoe says, but police were able to verify from a video that an explosive device was unsuccessfully used on the ATM.
As part of their investigation, police evacuated the credit union and some nearby apartments while they had a bomb-detection dog check the interior of the credit union. The dog alerted to something on the site and that led to a secondary search. Those areas were cleared and residents allowed to return home.
The bomb-detecting dog had 'alerted' on a dumpster near the credit union, according to a news release. But nothing was found in the dumpster.
The area is an active crime scene, while the investigation continues, Bledsoe says.

Maybe you've asked us what to do about intercourse that's been painful or uncomfortable. Or perhaps you've expressed that intercourse or masturbation feels really good, until it doesn't at all, and starts to feel like you're being rubbed raw. You might want to know how to use condoms properly to reduce the risk of pregnancy or STI transmission.
Part of the answer to all of these questions is usually lubricant, and you may have already noticed our tendency to shout this from the rooftops. LubelubelubelubeLUBE!
Lube is lubricant. In this case, we're talking what's often called "personal" or "sexual" lubricant, aka a water-based, oil-based or silicone-based substance not meant for fixing cars or keeping your bike chain working, but rather for making things slicker, slipperier, comfier, and even safer with many kinds of sexual contact.
The primary purpose of lubricant is to reduce possible irritant effects of the friction that can come along with certain kinds of sex, and to make sexual contact feel and be more fluid, and just generally better.
At Scarleteen, we think lube is awesome. You'll hear us singing its praises from the rooftops (well, maybe not the rooftops) and we know it can solve a lot of problems for people and typically increases people's sexual pleasure and enjoyment.
That's not to say that it's going to make everything magically perfect, nor that if sex with yourself or someone totally sucks, lube is going to somehow make it instant amazement. There's a lot that goes into an enjoyable sexual encounter: being adequately lubricated is just one ingredient of many.
While we'd love to be able to offer lube as the ultimate panacea to every sexual concern or problem, we can only offer it as one tool: a tool that can help take good sex to great, and may take substandard sex to pretty okay. If you think that you or a partner couldn't (or worse still shouldn't!) possibly need lube, or that there's something wrong with you for needing, or even wanting, lube, or even that sex is really awesome right now, so why should you try anything else, here's something Heather recently had to share that may well give you some food for thought.
"If I'm having breakfast and it tastes way better to me with a few shakes of hot sauce, it's not because my potatoes must be deficient: it's because I find they're even better with hot sauce and it pleases me." Same goes with your body and lubricant."
We're hoping that the fact that this article exists gives you a sense that lube is something for everyone, not just something for the rare people who have problems or issues.
Lube isn't just for one kind of sex, people with one kind of genitals, or people whose bodies don't create a lot of lubrication for medical or life cycle reasons. The FDA may label lube a "medical" item, but no one has to have to have a medical reason to use it, and many people who do use it don't. A 2009 Indiana University study showed, for example, that 65% of women surveyed enjoyed sexual activity more when lube was involved. People often report inviting lube into their sex life for no other reason than that it makes sex more fun.
We're not actually sure that such a land, or such a time, ever existed. From at least as far back as 800BCE, we know the ancient Greeks were touting olive oil as a lubrication and sexual aid.
Over at least thousands of years, people have invented or used all sorts of concoctions to help with sexual lubrication. One such ancient lubrication recipe included plant oils w/ water, animal fat and cactus juice. Unfortunately, the history of sexual lubrication apparently wasn't all that important to most historians (we don't get why not!), so many ancient ways of adding lubrication were lost in the annals of time.
The first official, commercially available lubricant we know of was born in the 1800s. It started with a waxy, goopy substance that oil rig workers would use to heal minor injuries when at work. This became what we now know as petroleum jelly, which was for a time considered to be a "cure-all" ointment. (Although later, it turned out that petroleum jelly has ZERO medicinal properties.)
The Vaseline brand was released in the 1870s as an ointment purported to have many healing properties. It did not take long for everyone to figure out what else they could use it for. Just five years later, jars of Vaseline were selling like hotcakes.
In the early 1900s, the first owners of the Johnson & Johnson company released the first K-Y jelly product. This version of the product was created for the purposes of a surgical aid as well as awkward-and-physically-uncomfortable medical procedures. If you have ever purchased KY Jelly, and found that it dries up quickly, this is why; it was formulated to give a lot of slipperiness, but only for a short period of time.
It took another eighty years for the company to give in and officially market K-Y jelly not only to doctors, but to its widest accidental consumer base: the people buying up K-Y Jelly to use it for sexual purposes. And the rest is history: now, there are hundreds of different brands and many kinds of lubricant, used by millions and millions of people every year worldwide.
More lubrication during different kinds of vaginal sex, like manual sex or intercourse. Putting anything comfortably, and certainly pleasurably, inside the vagina requires at least some lubrication. While the vagina lubricates itself, not everyone's vagina will always lubricate enough, or lubricate the same way all the time. If vaginal sex feels rough, dry, or irritating, often times lube is the answer!
Anal sex. Unlike the vagina, the anus and rectum do not naturally produce any lubrication, and that's necessary for safe, healthy anal sex without injury. The skin at the opening of the anus (on the outside of the body) and in the rectum (on the inside of the body) is thin and sensitive. It's far easier to get little tears (fissures) in your skin during anal sex, which not only don't feel good, but also increase the likelihood of transmitting or acquiring sexually transmitted infections, or any sort of more general bacterial infection. Lube makes any anal sex with entry, be it with fingers, sex toys or a penis, far more comfortable and safe.
Fun flavors for oral sex. Flavored lube is designed specifically for oral sex. It can be used on a penis, vulva, anus, or any other body part that you want to lick it off of or have it licked off of. Flavored lube can make oral sex taste like strawberries or vanilla (or almost any other flavor), and, when barriers such as condoms or dental dams are used, can mask the taste of latex or non-latex materials, which isn't a taste everyone enjoys. Keep in mind that using barriers is the best way to prevent sexually transmitted infections during any type of sex, including oral sex.
Masturbation. Lube is not just reserved for sex with a partner. Lubricant can enhance solo sex, or masturbation, for with vaginas or penises. In addition to reducing friction, using lube during masturbation can make the experience more fun, comfortable, or just provide a different type of sensation.
Extra slip'n'slide! Even if you feel comfortable with you or your partner's level of lubrication during sex, adding additional lube to the mix can just feel really nice. As some people like to say, "The wetter, the better!" (Feasibly, you could even use it for a real Slip N'Slide if you wanted, it'd just be a whole lot more expensive than using water from the garden hose.)
It depends on what body part we are talking about. Let's break it down:
When it comes to vaginal lubrication, or "wetness," we're all pretty different. Some vaginas produce more lubrication than others, and folks with vaginas will tend to find that their levels of wetness fluctuate throughout the month -- and a lifetime -- based on changes in the fertility and menstrual cycle, general health and well-being, and more.
In addition to just being a part of your natural biology, vaginal lubrication is affected by hydration (if you're not drinking enough water, your vagina isn't going to release as much fluid, just like your mouth won't tend to salivate as much), stress, sexual desire (or a lack thereof), diet, medication, your method of birth control (methods like the pill, patch and ring often result in increased vaginal dryness), and other factors. These factors might not make a vagina totally dry up, necessarily, but can, and often do, change the texture or amount of lubrication, or the amount of time it takes to become lubricated during sexual activity, or how long a person stays adequately lubricated throughout sexual activity.
For these circumstances, using lube is a great way to have more comfortable, pleasurable sex. Some people also have medical issues that are related to chronic vaginal dryness that should be discussed with a medical professional, and lubricant is typically one thing their healthcare provider will advise they use.
Just like there are many different brands, kinds and styles of condoms out there to meet people's different needs, there are also a variety of types of lubricant. We all have different texture and ingredient preferences when it comes to lube, based on how sensitive our skin is, what type of sex we are taking part in, and just generally whether we think a certain type of lubricant feels good! Below are the main types of lubricant, and what you need to know about each to decide what might work best for you.
Pros: Water-based lube is easy to clean up, and doesn't stain sheets. For those who want to use the most natural ingredients they can, they may prefer water-based lubes to those which are silicone-based.
Cons: Water-based dries up faster than other types, is not useful for shower/water sex or masturbation (it will wash right off), leaves residue when water is absorbed, and can contain certain preservatives that might irritate skin.
Pros: Silicone lube does not dry up or get absorbed into the skin, so it lasts longer. Some people prefer the texture, and it's hypoallergenic.
Cons: Silicone-based lube potentially stains sheets, is not compatible with silicone sex toys, is more expensive than water-based (but lasts longer, so it's a bit of a wash when it comes to cost), and can be harder to clean up. We also advise being especially careful when using it near hardwood floors, as it will make anything it comes into contact extremely slippery. If you're going to get a sex injury, we figure you at least deserve a more interesting story than having slipped on the lube on the floor.
Pros: Oil-based lube is good for people that want to avoid some of the preservatives in water-based or silicone-based lube. Folks might have a texture preference, and it lasts longer. Some people also find some choices of oils mean they get skin benefits they like. For these reasons, oil-based lube can also be a good masturbation option for people with penises.
Cons: Oil-based lube breaks down latex. It might potentially cause infections in people with sensitive skin, as it is suspected to trap bacteria in the vagina for some people.
What about natural oils for lubricant?
There seems to be some debate about whether some natural oil lubricants, such as olive oil or coconut oil, can be irritating for people with vaginas. Some folks find that they prefer the texture and natural quality of oil-based lube, whereas others find that it can cause irritation. Everyone is different when it comes to how our bodies react to different ingredients, but it is worth nothing that some people find these lubricants to work well for their bodies, and others prefer to use lubes with different ingredients.
Pros: Flavored lube can be a fun way to spice up oral sex, can be used with condoms or dental dams for extra protection, and washes off easily.
Cons: Flavored lube is not ideal for vaginal sex, and you might not find it tastes good.
Pros: These lubes provide additional options for lube, and are typically safe to use with condoms if they don't contain oil.
Cons: The added ingredients to cause additional sensations might also irritate your genitals or those of a partner. Cooling or numbing lubricants or sprays, of any kind, can also make people unaware of when they may be injuring themselves, because they can't fully feel what's actually going on.
Ingredients to keep in mind: As you now know, there are plenty of different types of lubricants, each of which have their own lists of ingredients. For some people, the specific ingredients within the lube don't pose any issues. However, some people might have more sensitive skin, particularly around their genitals, and understanding what types of ingredients might cause irritation or infections can be a total lube game-changer!
- Glycerin: Glycerin is an ingredient that's added to many water-based lubricants. It is a preservative, and also helps lube maintain its moisture. However, the body treats it like a sugar, which can be problematic for people who have sensitive skin or are prone to yeast infections.
- Parabens: Parabens are another common preservative some people don't do well with. There are many different kinds, but you can tell if an ingredient is a paraben if it ends in the word "paraben", like "methylparaben" or "propylparaben".
- Botanicals and extracts: Some lubricants are marketed as having organic botanicals or additional ingredients like aloe, Vitamin E, or flower extracts. This ingredients might make your skin feel moisturized, but if your skin is sensitive they might just be unnecessary additions that can cause irritation.
If you're a sensitive-skinned lube-seeker, have no fear! There are some great options out there for you, including lubes by Sliquid and Slippery Stuff (online or in the US). If you are looking for lube that you can get in a drugstore, check out Astroglide Glycerin and Paraben Free or K-Y Sensitive Jelly. And when in doubt, just check the label! You can also always ask your sexual or reproductive healthcare provider about lubes for your sensitive-self, too.
If you shop for lube where you've got a wide variety of lubricants to choose from, it can seem impossible to know which lubricant to pick out at first, and what might be a great lube option for one person might not be the best for someone else. If you know you have sensitive skin or are prone to yeast infections, that can help narrow the options down, but trying out different types of lube can be a fun "experiment" by yourself or with a partner! And chances are that finding the lubes you and partners like best is going to be a lot like finding out what kinds of condoms -- or what kinds of sex -- you like best, where you'll just need to try a few kinds or brands to find out.
If you are in a store that lets you try out testers of lube -- this is the case if and when you can buy lubricant in sex toy stores, for instance -- or if you have lubes you want to try out at home, you might pay special attention to the following to figure out what you do and don't like:
Some of the places listed below will offer either small sample-sized lube packets that you can buy individually, or you can buy a lube sample pack that has a variety of lube samples. That way you're not committed to a larger bottle of lubricant that you might not like.
Depending on how old you are and where you live, lube might be easier to get for some of us than for others.
Each person's body has its own natural thing going in its own way, so "natural" lubrication is just that: a natural body function that exists the way it does independent of anyone else. Just like all of people and our bodies vary, so it goes with how much or little, how often or infrequently, when and how we self-lubricate in the ways that we can. And just like people vary in that way, people also will vary with when they want to add lubricant, how much, and how often. If you or a partner ask for or want some extra lube, all that is is a desire for something you, or they, know or suspect will make something that can already feel good feel better. We know, from listening and talking with users that may people have some funky ideas about lube, and some hangups about when they, or partners, want or need it.
We suggest you think of it like that business about potatoes and hot sauce up there, or maybe about when and if a partner, or you, asks for a pillow during sex, or a blanket. It's just something people want sometimes that means they want things wetter, not any kind of giant testament to how sexy or not someone thinks you are (or is themselves), how much they do or don't like the sex you're having, or about how womanly, manly or anything else-ly someone, or you, is or isn't.
Simply put, lube can make sexual activity smoother, easier, safer, and even, if all the other ingredients are there too, better. Even when something is already mighty good.

Well a select few will get the chance to do just that the Golden Spike Company. For a mere $1.5 billion, the business is offering countries the chance to send two people to the moon and back, either for research or national prestige. And if you are an individual with that kind of money to spare, you too can go to the moon for a couple of days.

This is a picture I thought I'd never see at a football game. The regular NFL referees returned to the field in this Thursday night game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns. Now I guess we can quit complaining about guys who don't know what they're doing, and get back to complaining about guys who Do know what they're doing.
New York is the first City to pass a rule banning super-sized sugary drinks at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries. The measure places a 16-ounce cap on bottled drinks and fountain beverages sold at city restaurants, movie theaters, sports venues and street carts. City health officials say the ban is necessary to combat a deadly obesity problem in this country. New Yorkers say the rule is gross government intrusion. It is not the governments job to regulate what we eat or drink, and the huge question now is, what's next?

Joe Lawton is the President of the United States in the Grand Theft Auto IV Era. He appears to be based on former President George W. Bush. President Lawton supports extending the Jingoism Act in order to protect freedom. Based on Thomas Stubbs' Twitter, his birthday is on or around February 16th. As a very clever social commentary, he seems to get little, if ever, media attention in comparison to celebrities like Cloe Parker and Jill Von Crastenburg.
- According to John Smith on WKTT, Lawton's father was the president before Joe, much like George W. Bush after his father George H.W. Bush.
- According to WKTT's Conspire show, Lawton went to University of San Fierro and was in the same fraternity as a major credit card company CEO. However, Conspire's authenticity is highly questionable, and they also claim that Lawton resurrected his own father from the dead.
- In a Weazel News report entitled "Recession is over!", an old, suited man is shown surrounded by three other men in front of what appears to be the White House. It is likely that this man is President Lawton as the article is about him announcing that the recession is over. He is seen wearing a black suit jacket, a blue dress shirt, and a red tie with different shades of red on it.

text: What's hot according to DLD 2012 delegates David Rowan's Blog 14 February 12 by David Rowan cc-licensed Bernd* The DLD conference in Munich (short for Digital Life Design) brings together an A-list crowd of tech investors, startup founders and creatives each January. Founded in 2005 by Marcel Reichart and Steffi Czerny, for Germany's Burda media empire, it's a quality event that last year I called "the hottest by-invitation ticket in Europe".So when Wired was given an exclusive chance to learn what was on DLD delegates' minds this season, we jumped at the chance. After all, there's no better way to spot trends than to tap into the wisdom of an event where speakers included Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, AOL's Arianna Huffington, Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Airbnb's Brian Chesky.Two weeks before this year's DLD, in the week beginning 5 January, the conference team partnered with SurveyMonkey to ask delegates and speakers a range of questions on everything from Facebook's post-IPO prospects to trends in digital advertising. A total of 351 people responded to the questions, prompted by an emailed request. It was a pretty international sample of influencers, 76.3% of them male and 23.7% female: they came from 29 countries, the main ones Germany (29.1%), the US (25.2%), the UK (10.5%) and Israel (10.5%), and others from as far as Brazil and Kenya.So which digital businesses are exciting them most? Jack Dorsey's Square and social network Path, it seems. When asked about the startups to watch in mobile, 10.5% said Square, Dorsey's mobile-payments business; 6.2% said Path; and 5.2% chose check-in service Foursquare. Foursquare was also the most-mentioned startup in local, named by 12.1% of respondents, above car service Uber and accommodation network Airbnb (both 5.9%). Square also proved the most watched startup in e-commerce, nominated by 5.8% of participants, above design retailer Fab (5.6%) and Amazon (5.1%). Square's fast growth may explain why, when asked to identify "the next Mark Zuckerberg", Jack Dorsey was the only person named.In cloud computing, the top startup to watch was named as Dropbox (15.4%), way ahead of Amazon (8.6%) and Google (7.9%). You can watch my DLD interview with Dropbox cofounder Drew Houston here.So what else was on the delegates' minds? The most important topics they will be following in 2012 are, in order:Mobile commerce: 22% Tablets and socially created content: 11% Personal data tracking ("the quantified self"): 11% Social commerce: 15% Advertising: 7% Connectivity in cars: 2% Social television: 8% Collaborative consumption: 8% Cloud computing: 8% E-health: 9%When asked what things they considered when they think about disruption, survey respondents said:Technology: 12% Market: 6% Business models: 5% Industry: 4% Services: 3% Mobile: 3% Innovation: 3%And when asked in which field they saw the biggest chance for innovation and new businesses models due to big data and data mining, the main answers were: Health care: 15% Advertising: 12% Mobile: 9% Marketing: 6% Media: 6% Social: 5% Services: 5% Businesses: 5% Internet: 4% Commerce: 3% Finance: 3% Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Topical Antifungal Medicine for Fungal Nail Infections
Nonprescription topical
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Prescription topical
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Loprox, Penlac
Ciclopirox comes as a cream or lotion (Loprox) or lacquer (Penlac). The cream or lotion is applied to the skin or nail twice a day for 2 weeks. The lacquer (nail polish) is applied to the nail once a day for up to 6 months.
The other medicines are available as creams, lotions, solutions, or sprays and are applied directly to the nail and surrounding skin once or twice a day for 3 to 12 months.
How It Works
Topical antifungal medicines prevent the growth of or kill fungi.
Why It Is Used
Topical antifungal medicines are used to treat fungal nail infections. Often, the medicine that is used depends on the type of infection you have.
- Econazole, ketoconazole, and oxiconazole are used to treat fungal nail infections caused by dermatophytes and yeasts, such as Candida.
- Clotrimazole is used to treat dermatophytes and molds.
- Ciclopirox is used to treat fungal infection on the nail surface (white superficial onychomycosis).
Topical medicines are also used to prevent reinfection, to prevent athlete's foot from causing a fungal nail infection, and after removal of a nail.
How Well It Works
Topical medicines may be used to treat fungal nail infections. But they do not work as well as oral medicines in curing fungal nail infections.
Using a topical antifungal around the toes after an infection is cured may prevent reinfection.1
These medicines may be used when there are concerns about the risks of oral antifungal medicine.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Skin rash, blistering, itching, or other skin irritation you did not have before using this medicine.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Possible headache.
- Dizziness.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Topical antifungals rarely cause side effects. If you have a problem, stop using the medicine and talk to your doctor.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The Grayson County Vikings are hoping to make another run at a national title.
The Vikings have won three so far, and for them there is no reason why they can't win another one this year. They start out the season ranked number two overall.
"Based on talent, I think were number two, maybe higher. Were as good as it gets at this point," said shortstop Kevin Cornelius.
The Vikings last appeared in championship in 2011, and won their last title in 2008.
The Vikings will get their season under way with a game in Paris on Friday.

Two members of our MSR sports experts' panel recently released their 2012 best sports stories. Nate Parham of Swish Appeal places at the top of his list the Indiana Fever winning the 2012 WNBA championship. "I think Tamika Catchings [the finals MVP] has done so much for women's basketball…throughout her career. I think the entire women's basketball world was rooting for her to win a championship. People are comparing it to LeBron James [winning his first NBA title this year]."
Baylor's undefeated season "obviously was a huge story," Parham says. Continue Reading →

Louise Meyer is the Solar Household Energy, Inc. (SHE) Project Manager for EPA's Partnership for Clean Indoor Air's pilot project in Mexico researching solar cookers and smoke inhalation. Ms. Meyer also managed the World Bank's Development Marketplace grant for the SHE "HotPot Initiative" in Mexico.
Her interest in solar cooking began 20 years ago developing small business enterprises in Ivory Coast for the International Labor Organization. She later gained field experience as a volunteer trainer for Solar Cookers International in refugee camps. She co-designed and launched the website http://AfricanCraft.com. Ms. Meyer holds an MA in French and German Language and Literature and spent many years teaching. She obtained a graduate degree in International Development from the African Institute in Geneva, Switzerland.
News and recent developments
- March 2008: Louise Meyer reports on a group of internally displaced persons that are students at the Culinary Institute of Africa. As part of their curriculum they are learning how to solar cook. Meyer sent photographs of several students taking "Masters of Solar Cooking" classes at the Institute's school in Juba, Sudan. Based in Lokichoggio, Kenya, the non-profit Culinary Institute of Africa is a community service division of the AFEX Group, which provides a number of management and catering services to camps throughout Kenya, Sudan, and elsewhere. The Institute began in 2004 when Terry Light, chief operating officer of AFEX, asked Nancy Crooks to train local Turkana with skills that could gain them employment at various camps and other institutions in the region. With technical assistance from Solar Cookers International (SCI), Crooks was able to incorporate solar cooker use and construction into the curriculum. The Institute offers an accredited, professional culinary education leading to a diploma in food production. SCI also provided training services and helped Crooks secure funding from the Lift Up Africa organization for a solar cooker project to teach Turkana women how to make and use solar cookers, heat-retention devices, and Water Pasteurization Indicators (WAPIs), as well as start a small solar cooker shop.

Ohio State received some huge news last Thursday evening with the commitment of five-star junior Cameron Burrows. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound defensive back out of Trotwood (Ohio) Madison gives the Buckeyes a big-time start to the 2013 class. Burrows made his college announcement surrounded by friends and family, and BuckeyeGrove.com was able to catch up with his dad, Andre Burrows shortly after the ceremony. "It's very exciting," said Burrows of his son's decision. "I'm happy that it's behind us now so that he can just focus on what he needs to, but it's a very exciting day. I've always been a big Ohio State fan." Burrows was considered an Ohio State lean throughout most of his recruitment but the serious talks about a decision really just started picking up recently. "He started talking to me about it, like the beginning of last week," he said. "We discussed the pros and cons to being (at Ohio State). I just explained to him, 'what is there to lose by going up there?' You're not too far from home, you're at one of the best universities in the country and you've got some of the best coaches out there. Everything added up to a positive, I never gave him a decision to make, I just told him the positives about it." At the end of the day, proximity to home and having the comfort of knowing that if anything goes wrong, that family is just a short drive away was a huge factor for Burrows choosing the Buckeyes. "He has a brother that goes to college in Arizona," he continued. "Sometimes when things aren't going right for him, he's far from home, so I just explained everything like that to him and he just made his own decision." While Mr. Burrows is undeniably proud of his son's accomplishments on the football field, athletics are not what comes first in the Burrows' household as Cameron carries a 3.5 cumulative grade-point average for his high school career. Perhaps even more impressive is that he was able to carry a 4.1 grade-point average for the quarter during a state championship run and during the height of his recruitment. "Academics are very important," he said. "We understand that without a good education and a good mind, you're not going to get anywhere out here anyway. He talks about going to the next level and everything but even if he gets to the next level, he's still going to need that education to help him with whatever comes his way." Mr. Burrows made sure that discipline and academics were instilled at a very young age. Well before his son had to meet any type of academic standards to play sports at his school, Mr. Burrows put in his own standards that needed to be met. "He's always understood that his education is going to come first, regardless of anything else," he said. "When he was in pee-wee, if his grades weren't right, there wasn't going to be any football." It is for those reasons above that Mr. Burrows approached his son's recruiting process a little bit differently. While football was a part of the puzzle, it wasn't the biggest piece; he wanted to know that his son would be well taken care of the next four years. "They are some great people up there," Burrows said. "I met pretty much the whole staff last weekend and everybody seems family-oriented. The coaches' wives were there, the kids were there. I wanted my son to be somewhere that I wasn't worried about what kind of people these guys are, regardless of the coaching. Once I got around them and saw the families and met them, I was really at peace around them. I knew that I would be alright if my son was there and I knew that I wouldn't have to worry and that he would be in good hands. Once I knew that, I was ok (with the decision)."

Theater to stage 'Romeo and Juliet' adaptation based on late rocker's music
See a video of Jeff Buckley performing "Hallelujah."
Two distinct stories of passion, yearning and young lives cut short will dovetail in rock-driven fashion at the Old Globe Theatre this fall, as the theater opens its season with the new musical "The Last Goodbye."
The just-announced show is an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet," set to the songs of Jeff Buckley, the singer-songwriter who has become a major cult figure since his death at age 30 in 1997.
"The Last Goodbye," conceived and adapted by Michael Kimmel, will be directed for the Globe by Alex Timbers, whose flair for the unpredictable and adventurous (in shows from "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" to the La Jolla Playhouse-bred "Peter and the Starcatcher") has made him one of the most sought-after young directors in American theater.
The production will run at the Globe Sept. 20 to Nov. 3, with an official opening Oct. 6.
The Tony Award-nominated Timbers' most recent project (the David Byrne-scored musical "Here Lies Love," about Imelda Marcos) is now going up at New York's Public Theater — where Globe artistic chief Barry Edelstein was until recently the chief of Shakespeare programming. That connection helps explain how "The Last Goodbye" landed at the Globe, as a replacement for the previously announced musical "The Honeymooners," which has been shelved indefinitely.
Edelstein had seen the work's 2010 world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts, in a different version directed by Kimmel himself. When it became a candidate for the Globe after "The Honeymooners" dropped out, Edelstein began discussing the piece with Timbers, whom he calls "a once-in-a-generation talent."
When Edelstein heard the director's vision for the project, "My jaw dropped," he recalls. "I said, omigod, this is great, you've really figured this all out."
The piece, which keeps "Romeo and Juliet" in its original period, also stays with Shakespeare's essential storyline, although in a heavily redacted form, with Buckley's songs woven into the narrative.
"It's really very much about youthful, fiery passions driving these young people toward this tragic end," Edelstein says of the show's emotional tone. And Buckley's music "cries from the heart. It's really a good match for the emotional tone of 'Romeo and Juliet.'"
Buckley first gained notice in the early 1990s with his deeply emotional, sometimes haunting music. His 1994 album, "Grace," landed on numerous "best of" lists, and his affecting, soulful cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallejulah" (which will be part of "The Last Goodbye") has become a classic. The musical takes its name from another song on the album.
In 1997, after years of touring and performing, the singer-songwriter was working on material for his next album when he drowned during a late-night swim in a Mississippi River channel in Memphis. The death was ruled an accident.
Fascination for his life and music has grown immensely since then; a movie focused on Buckley will premiere at New York's Tribeca Film Festival this month, and there's also a new book out tracing the evolution of "Hallelujah."
Buckley was the son of a musician who likewise met a tragic end: the folk artist Tim Buckley, who died at 28 of a drug overdose in 1975. His widow (and Jeff Buckley's mother), Mary Guibert, has given full support to "The Last Goodbye."
"I cannot imagine a better launching pad for this project than the Old Globe," Guibert said in a Globe- provided statement. "Michael Kimmel's concept, which combines Jeff's music and the Bard's words, lifts the story to another level, entirely … and it rocks! I can't wait to share it with the world."
Although the Globe does not have a lot of history with new alt-rock musicals — the closest thing to "The Last Goodbye" the theater has produced might be Duncan Sheik's elegiac "Whisper House" in 2010 — Edelstein says the theater's decades-long history with both Shakespeare and musicals helps puts the new show "very much in the wheelhouse" of the institution.
"The Last Goodbye" also marks the start of Edelstein's first full Globe season since he came aboard in November.
Besides Timbers and Kimmel, the production's creative team includes choreographer Sonya Tayeh, whose credits include TV's "So You Think You Can Dance"; and music director Kris Kukul, a Williamstown resident artist who has worked on concert versions of "The Last Goodbye." Casting has yet to be announced.
Tickets for "The Last Goodbye" are available only by season subscription at the moment. For details, call (619) 234-5623 or visit oldglobe.org.

Welcome to day #2 of Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen of Juanita's Cocina. Today's theme for Christmas Week is "Peppermint Surprise".
I love peppermint this time of year, but since I shared Mint Chocolate Pudding Cookies yesterday, I wanted to go a little different today. So I did a drink! I am not a coffee drinker, but I do like going to Starbucks for one thing. Their Peppermint Hot Chocolate is amazing! I am sure it is full of whole milk, and full fat whipped cream, but I made something pretty darn close with a lot less calories at home!
Hot Chocolate from scratch is so easy, and tastes so much better than those instant packets. All you have to do is heat some milk over a low heat, throw in some chocolate to let it melt. Stir in a little sugar, and in this case peppermint, and you are done. You don't even have to stand over it, stirring the whole time!
I made this while my son was at school, but made sure to save him some for a snack. He was thrilled. He loves hot chocolate, and was very happy with this version. Plus he got a candy cane out of it, so how could I go wrong This would be great to have around for the holidays. Make this, dump it in the crock pot to keep it warm, and you have a great party drink. You could even swap out the peppermint extract for a peppermint liquor for the grown ups!
This isn't my only post today! I am also making Peanut Butter Cup Blossom Cookies as part of #25recipestoXmas. I hope you will check them out, they are kind of over the top and delicious!

(Nicole Hahn/INCnow.TV)
HUNTINGTON COUNTY, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - A three-vehicle crash turns fatal causing several lane closures during Monday's morning commute.
The multi-vehicle crash happened at 6:04 a.m. Monday morning. 56-year-old Earl Harris of Urbana reportedly turned onto U.S. 24 from 750 West in Huntington County near Andrews and into the path of a 2006 Jeep. The driver of the Jeep, was unable to miss hitting the moped and as a result Harris spilled onto the roadway.
The driver of the Jeep exited her vehicle to check on Harris' condition. Once she returned to her Jeep, a semi then came down U.S. 24, clipped the Jeep, and ran over the moped and Harris. The semi then caught fire.
Harris was killed in the crash. No injuries were reported for both the driver of the Jeep and semi.

Star Trek: Starfleet Command III
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek: Starfleet Command III is a Star Trek computer strategy game published in 2002 by Activision.
It is 2379, a few months before the events of Star Trek Nemesis. The alliance between the Federation and the Klingons has never been stronger. Together they have constructed a huge space station called Unity One to represent the achievements of both peoples. Unfortunately, the Romulans do not want the station in operation because of the station's sensor array, which can detect cloaked vessels many sectors away.
- "Stardate: 56200.1: It has been sometime since the USS Voyager returned home. The alliance between the United Federation of Planets & the Klingon Empire has never been better, and our peoples are enjoying a new era of peace and prosperity. Together we have sought to build Unity One, the most advanced starbase in the galaxy. Unity One's sophisticated sensor array makes it capable of detecting all ships, even cloaked ships, far into the Neutral Zone. The chaos inherent in the Alpha Quadrant demands that we be vigilant, and we must use every tool available to preserve the peace we worked so hard to create..."
United Federation of Planets
- See the article on the United Federation of Planets.
Klingon Empire
- See Klingon Empire.
Romulan Star Empire

Borg Collective
- See Borg Collective.
The Borg Collective is not involved with the storyline of Star Trek: Starfleet Command III. They are a secondary race in multiplayer and conquest modes. Although copies of the game sold at Best Buy had an independent Borg campaign that ultimately centered on reassimilating a group of renegade Borg.
The Rakelli are a serpent/humanoid race who originate from Klingon territory. They claim that areas of Klingon space were a part of the Rakelli empire before the Klingons conquered them. Since their fall about 1a hundred years ago, the Rakelli have sought cold-blooded vengeance against the Klingons, raiding convoys and ships. They wait for the day when they can take revenge on the Klingons. Known Rakelli bases include Beta Thoridor II, and Alpha TyGorkor.
Although the Ferengi Alliance is friendly with the Federation, some vessels still attack smaller ships and freighters. They act very similar to pirates.

The results are in!
For a record ninth time, the readers of Travel + Leisure have named Micato Safaris the #1 World's Best Safari Outfitter. For the past eight years, our winning title has been Worlds Best Tour Operator and Safari Outfitter but, interestingly, this year Travel + Leisure separated the categories of Tour Operator and Safari Outfitter—perhaps because we monopolized the double title for the past eight years!
Micato offers a singular African experience that's authentic, luxurious, adventurous, personal, and life-changing. These words have always been synonymous with "safari" in our book, so our new title suits us just fine.
The Micato founders, the Pinto family, were born and raised in Kenya, and from the beginning crafted an experience like no other. Micato Safaris was the first safari outfitter of note to hire local African safari guides—breaking the myth of the "great white hunter" guide and setting the precedent for sustainable safari guiding, and ensuring a future for the bright graduates of African wildlife guide colleges.
Micato was also the first safari outfitter to integrate itself into desperately impoverished "informal settlements"—which Americans refer to as slums—and make a difference by building a community and training centre, sending orphaned and vulnerable children to school, initiating community outreach and educational programmes, and providing much-needed services such as a fresh-water bore hole and a library. Our non- profit arm Micato-AmericaShare has been serving the community in this way for 25 years.
We were also the first company to travel between camps and game parks via bush flights, saving valuable game-viewing time and offering guests a chance to view the breathtaking sweep of savannah, mountains, rivers and plains (occupied by herds of elephant, buffalo, wildebeest and giraffe) from the sky.
From Micato's very inception, we were the first and only outfitter to invite all of our travellers home to dine with the founders of Micato Africa, Felix and Jane Pinto, or at the home of their close friends in Cape Town for South African travellers. This was also a first, and is still something unique to Micato.
Our most important and exciting innovation? We are the first and only operator to set up a sustainable program that funds one child's education for every safari we sell: we call it our One for One Commitment, and it changes lives.
Ground-breaking giving and innovative travel: these features have come to define us over the years. And this year, we've revolutionized the safari experience yet again…
Now Micato offers the virtually unprecedented luxury of including all tips during your trip—even to Safari Directors and Driver Guides—a feature rarely offered anywhere in the world. Micato guests can simply relax and leave the tipping to us. It's that simple.
Through the years, we've kept pushing boundaries, and our growing list of "firsts" is no doubt part of the reason why our travellers consistently name us #1 World's Best. Tour Operator, Safari Outfitter… either way, we're simply proud to be exceeding our guests' expectations every day.

Street Rehabilitation Program
The City Street Rehab Program handles street resurfacing and significant curb repairs. This work includes grinding off old roadway surfaces, resurfacing the pavement with new asphalt, and repairing/replacing curbs where necessary.
Residents may notice that the work is not continuous from start to finish on any given street. It includes breaks for an extended period while the contractor performs work on other roads. This is part of the scheduling to minimize costs.
The job on a particular street is not complete until the pavement is fully replaced and smooth driving surface is restored. Every community in the City of Cincinnati will be targeted for roadwork on a three-year rotation under the Street Rehab Program.

It's national fire-prevention week this week - a fitting time, perhaps, to reflect on the nation's firefighters who have died in the line of duty. But fire is not the only danger they face when they go to work. Dr. Susan Shaw says recent data show firefighters are at increased risk of developing a variety of cancers, including non-Hodgkins lymphoma, testicular and prostate cancer. Shaw is president of the Marine Environmental Research Institute, based in Blue Hill. Earlier this year she carried out a pilot study of San Francisco firefighters and found unusually high levels of flame-retardant chemicals in their blood. She's now preparing to embark on a more in-depth 15-year study of firefighters in Maine, examining the long-term health effects of exposure to these particular chemicals. Shaw spoke with Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter.
Dr. Shaw (left) says recent research has found flame retardant chemicals to be much more toxic than originally thought.
Dr. Susan Shaw: "The evidence has mounted about how toxic they are. They not only are endocrine disruptors but they're also carcinogens that are in our furniture, and the benefit of them does not outweight the risk. And there's a general consensus now in the scientific community that they're so toxic and they break down over time, become part of the environment they we all breathe. But when firefighters go in to respond to a fire, these chemicals, when they burn, produce terribly toxic and carginogenic compounds through the combustion. The benefit they do have is to give about three seconds of extra escape time, compared to thousands of times higher levels of carcinogens."
Tom Porter: "Now, the American Chemistry Council has defended flame retardants, pointing out that fires in homes decreased dramatically in the last few decades, largely because of the prevalence of flame retardants. In other words they're important for home safety."
Dr. Susan Shaw: "The data does not support the ACA's position on this whatsoever. And three seconds of escape time is not even well-documented, and it does not compare to the amount of hazard that's caused by these compounds. So there's now a lot of effort to replace those toxic compounds with safer alternatives. The firefighters are at the very end of the spectrum - when they are exposed to the compounds, they have extremely high exposure to the worst chemicals, the most carcinogenic chemicals, and they have high rates of many types of cancer."
Tom Porter: "And the pilot study you did a few months ago in San Francisco basically found high levels of these flame retardants in the blood of the firefighters you analyzed?"
Dr. Susan Shaw: "That's correct, we did a study of 12 firefighters in San Francisco. We took the blood right after a fire event. They had three times higher levels of the flame retardant, the polybrominated dyphenyl ethers, which are very commonly-used flame retardants in furniture, foam and plastics, and many, many products in the home. So those levels were much higher, but also this is the first study to look at the dioxins and purines produced when those flame retardants are burned."
Tom Porter: "You're talking about the Maine study that you're launching now?"
Dr. Susan Shaw: "OK, yes. Building on the California results, we're launching a much more in-depth study in Maine firefighters. We're going to analyze the blood of 50 Maine firefighters after a fire event to look at a wide range of toxic carcinogenic chemicals in the blood, as well as pre-cancer and cancer indicators. This will be first study of its kind. It will be the first time that a very comprehensive exposure assessment is done. But also we are attempting to link that exposure to health outcomes. We will retest the participants at five, 10 and 15 years to determine long-term health outcomes, including cancer."
Dr. Susan Shaw, of the Blue Hill-based Marine Environmental Research Institute, begins her 15-year study on Maine firefighters next year.

LPD accuses man of kidnapping 19-year-old woman
Published: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 1:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 1:28 p.m.
A 22-year-old man is facing a kidnapping charge among others after an investigation by the Lexington Police Department.
Ni'Jeal Tamile Stephen of 705 Moore Drive was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under no bond Wednesday. He has been charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering, felony second-degree kidnapping, felony assault by strangulation and assault on a female.
The LPD alleges Stephen kidnapped a 19-year-old woman, used his hands to put marks around her neck, grabbed her arms and slammed her against the wall, according to an arrest warrant. The incident happened Wednesday at a residence on West Fifth Street, a spokesman with the LPD said Thursday.
Capt. Robby Rummage of the LPD said the woman did not have life-threatening injuries, and the case is still being investigated with the assistance of the Davidson County District Attorney's Office. Rummage said he could not comment further.
Stephen is scheduled to appear Nov. 18 in Lexington District Court.

- Abstract
- We report a morphology-dependent resonance (MDR) laser emission of rhodamine-doped ellipsoidal microcavity of the poly(methylmethacrylate) particles. Elliptical particles showed different lasing properties: the lasing threshold, intramode spectral separation, mode intensity, and spectral position, when an excitation is pointed to the different locations on the particle. This differs from the well-understood MDR lasing in spherical microparticles.

EVANS, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Columbia County Sheriff's Office wants your help in identifying the person accused of using a stolen debit card.
The suspect in the case was caught by a surveillance camera outside of the Circle K on Washington Road in Augusta.
