Editor's note: (Third of a series previewing Pac-12 football teams. Today: Southern California.
Most votes of confidence come after a brutal loss, or a coach running off the field one step ahead of the alumni. Southern California athletic director Pat Haden didn't even wait for the first practice of the 2013 season before extending support to coach Lane Kiffin.
His vote-of-confidence video came just before the Pac-12 football preview last month.
"I anticipate the media will ask me if our football coach is on the hot seat this year," Haden said in the video. "Here is my answer and will be my answer when- ever I'm asked: He is not."
Fortunately for Kiffin, the Trojans have a soft September schedule. Maybe it will buy him time until he develops a quarterback.
Blog: CU Buffs
The Denver Post's sports reporters contribute analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog focusing on CU athletics.
Replacing record-setting four-year starter Matt Barkley will be 6-foot-5 Max Wittek, who bombed in the Trojans' 21-7 loss to Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl, or 6-1 Cody Kessler, both sophomores. During a scrimmage Wednesday, Kessler threw two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Wittek threw a TD pass and led three field-goal drives.
Kiffin still hasn't decided who will start next week's season opener at Hawaii.
"Overall, I think they've been great," USC's Marqise Lee, the nation's top wide receiver, told the Pac-12 media.
The quarterback will be inexperienced, and the tailback might be more so. Silas Redd, the transfer from Penn State whose 2,583 career yards rushing are the most in the country, hasn't fully recovered from spring knee surgery. He may not play in the opener against Hawaii.
In his place could be true freshman Justin Davis, who ran for 116 yards during a recent scrimmage.
In Kiffin's defense, he has been leveled by probation-driven scholarship limitations. Safety Su'a Cravens could be another true freshman who is a starter against Hawaii.
Cravens, a five-star recruit from Vista Murrieta (Calif.) High, must lead a defensive revival after the Trojans finished 60th nationally on that side of the ball.
Kiffin's father, Monte Kiffin, left his defensive coordinator job and returned to the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. In his place is Clancy Pendergast, who came from California specifically to stop spread offenses.
Kiffin has a lot of questions that need answers. His team went from a preseason No. 1 ranking last year to 7-6, losing five of the last six games.
"We didn't play very well and we didn't coach very well," Kiffin said. "When you do that, that's what happens."
About Southern California
2012: 7-6, 5-4 (tied for second in the Pac-12 South).
Returning starters: Six on offense, seven on defense.
Strength: Wide receiver. Marqise Lee, the top-ranked wideout in the country, is back. Look for Nelson Agholor to fill the hole left by the departed Robert Woods.
Weakness: Quarterback. Max Wittek must improve from his two-game relief appearance for injured Matt Barkley, or Cody Kessler will be the guy.

A Guide to Fun and Safe Black Hills Geocaching
February 18, 2013
Recently, the outdoor recreational activity of "geocaching" has risen in popularity amongst the outdoorsy types—nature lovers of all kinds—as a contemporary take on treasure hunting. What is geocaching? In simplest of terms, it's the sport of searching the countryside for "caches."
Next question: what are caches? Caches are treasures placed by hikers, for hikers. They're distinctive objects most often hidden away in backcountry settings. On average, a cache consists of a watertight container with some sort of parchment and writing utensil inside for the discoverer to log the date, time, and details of his/her discovery. Occasionally, geocachers might find a toy or trinket of little value hidden inside—something to take as a souvenir, left behind by the last treasure hunter to uncover the hidden cache.
To begin, you'll need a global positioning system (GPS) device to help you locate the latitude and longitude coordinates of buried caches. On a daily basis, 1,925,000 caches can be found hidden somewhere in the world. The Blacks Hills is home to approximately 1,000. How do you know where to look? Geocaching.com is the official site for logging in, networking, and pinpointing coordinates for your treasure hunt.
The Black Hills are the perfect location for geocaching – not because there are so many to be found, and not exactly for the cache itself. More so, it's the opportunity that the activity provides for getting out into the gorgeous outdoor wonderland of western South Dakota. It's that drive to get up and go—the experience that you'll have in the hunting process.
Geocaching is the perfect solution for those in search of a family-friendly hobby that's high on both fun and activity. Other than a GPS and a sense of adventure, you'll need to jot down a list of coordinates from Geocaching.com and pull on a pair of comfortable hiking shoes. When you plan to go geocaching in the Black Hills, plan appropriately for a nature hike!
Get the most out of your Black Hills geocaching experience:
- If it's your first time out on the hunt, go after caches that have been logged most recently to ensure that there will still be something there to find. Nothing will frustrate your first geocaching experience like a fruitless treasure hunt.
- Don't set yourself up for a miserable time, especially if you have young ones in tow. Most geocache websites rank their coordinates by terrain and difficulty. Go with something fairly easy for your first Black Hills geocaching experience.
- Go with a pro! Oftentimes, geocaching network sites can help you locate an experienced veteran in your area. Every once in awhile, you might catch wind of a local Black Hills geocaching event where you can meet a treasure hunting buddy in a safe, public location. Your experience will only improve if you include someone who knows the ropes.
Tips for safe Black Hills geocaching:
- Make sure that one or more friend(s) or relative(s) is/are aware of where you're headed and why before you set out on a hike in the deep woods. Let someone know the coordinates of the caches you're after.
- As you're driving into the Hills in search of a good place to set out from, make sure that you keep your vehicle on roads and trails marked by the BH Forest Service.
- Turn on your GPS as soon as you park the car. Use the "track back" feature on the device to ensure that you'll always be able to find your way back to your starting point.
- You can trust your GPS, but you should still pack extra batteries, a map of the area, and a compass as an extra safety precaution.
When the day is done, cleanse your shoes, clothing, and gear thoroughly to reduce the spread of poison oak and ivy, both of which are found sporadically throughout the region. If you took a pet companion along with you, make sure his/her fur is thoroughly cleansed with soap and water, as well
Our greatest tip? Embrace the sense of adventure that comes paired with tromping the wilderness in search of buried treasure. Stash your pocket with some trivial trinkets of your own—if you plan to take a piece of your discovered treasure with you as a souvenir, proper Black Hills geocaching etiquette dictates that you also leave something behind. First and foremost, have fun! Take in the fresh air and appreciate each moment you spend enjoying ALL of nature's hidden treasures!

Michigan Oncology Journal
From the Editor
Radiation oncology is a clinical and scientific endeavor devoted to the management of patients with cancer (and other neoplasms) by ionizing radiation alone or in combination with other modalities and the investigation of the application of radiation therapy. The aim of radiation therapy is to deliver a precisely measured dose of radiation to a defined tumor volume with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue, resulting in eradication of the tumor and a high quality of life. This definition and principle are clearly demonstrated in this issue of the Michigan Oncology Journal, highlighting the radiation oncology program at the University of Michigan Cancer Center.
Drs. Lichter and Pierce have written an essay on one of the current controversies facing oncologists treating women with breast cancer. It used to be said to patients that they could choose between lumpectomy and radiation therapy or modified radical mastectomy. Now, the evidence to provide radiation therapy to women who have had a mastectomy and have four or more nodes is compelling. Most radiation oncologists argue that the evidence is clear for women with one to four nodes.
Drs. Sandler and McLaughlin highlight the program's initiatives in delivering radiation therapy to men with prostate cancer. The role of radiation therapy in early prostate cancer is clear; which type of therapy can deliver the greatest dose to the tumor while sparing the normal tissues is being investigated.
Conformal radiation is not only being studied in prostate cancer but also in intrahepatic malignancies. Drs. McGinn and Lawrence define the role that radiation can play in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. In this setting, external beam irradiation is combined with hepatic arterial chemotherapy.
Dr. Eisbruch describes the advances in radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. These advances focus on improving the effectiveness of radiation, such as the changes in the fractionation scheme and the combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Improvement in quality of life has been clearly demonstrated in the laryngeal preservation study and now is being extended to other sites in the head and neck region. Dr. Eisbruch himself is contributing to this quality of life effort by his studies to reduce radiation-associated xerostomia.

Calla was a female Vissian who lived during the 22nd century.
She was married to a Vissian engineer, and they were planning on having a baby. Calla was part of the members of a delegation of Vissians that visited the Enterprise during a cultural exchange in 2153. Calla and her husband were accompanied by a Cogenitor, a third person needed by the Vissians for breeding. Calla became extremely angry when the Cogenitor, influenced by Trip Tucker, refused to return to their ship and sought asylum on the Enterprise. The Cogenitor was returned, but committed suicide, postponing Calla's hope of having a baby. (ENT: "Cogenitor")
Calla was played by Larissa Laskin.

Topic: Technical Support / KONGREGATE VIRUS (Experiment on 3/19 - Anyone see the virus?)
Recently (2-3 months ago), a virus has started popping up when you load a page here. You're loading a game then suddenly the window shrinks and says that "Windows security" found a virus. Luckily my computer dropped to a really bad fps for a minute, so I saw the window addres before it minimized. It says something about soft drinks, probably a virus from an advertisement. Either way, the moment an unseen link activates on MY computer, it takes less than 10 seconds for me to Ctrl – Alt – Delete it. But as well as being an inconvinience, if someone where tp press the link on the window, 9 to 1 their computer is screwed. So could anyone on the Tech team look into this please?

Egyptian president defends security forces
Friday, January 28, 2011
CAIRO (AP) — Embattled President Hosni Mubarak has appeared on television for the first time since protests erupted demanding his ouster, and he says he will press ahead with social, economic and political reforms.
He is defending security forces' crackdown on protesters.
Protesters have seized the streets of Cairo, battling police with stones and firebombs, burning down the ruling party headquarters, and defying a night curfew enforced by a military deployment. It is the peak of unrest posing the most dire threat to Mubarak in his three decades of authoritarian rule.
The government's attempts to suppress demonstrations appeared to be swiftly eroding support from the U.S. — suddenly forced to choose between its most important Arab ally and a democratic uprising demanding his ouster. Washington threatened to reduce a $1.5 billion program of foreign aid if Mubarak escalated the use of force.
The protesters were sure to be emboldened by their success in bringing tens of thousands to the streets in defiance of a ban, a large police force, countless canisters of tear gas, and even a nighttime curfew enforced by the first military deployment of the crisis.
Flames rose in cities across Egypt as police cars burned and protesters set the ruling party headquarters in Cairo ablaze. Hundreds of young men tore televisions, fans and stereo equipment from other buildings of the National Democratic Party neighboring the Egyptian Museum, home of King Tutankhamun's treasures and one of the country's most popular tourist attractions.
Young men could be seen forming a human barricade in front of the museum to protect it.
Others around the city looted banks, smashed cars, tore down street signs and pelted armored riot police vehicles with paving stones torn from roadways.
"We are the ones who will bring change," said 21-year-old Ahmed Sharif. "If we do nothing, things will get worse. Change must come!" he screamed through a surgical mask he wore to ward off the tear gas.
Egypt's national airline halted flights for at least 12 hours and a Cairo Airport official said a number of international airlines had canceled flights to the capital, at least overnight. There were long lines at many supermarkets and employees limited bread sales to 10 rolls per person.
Options appeared to be dwindling for Mubarak, a 82-year-old former air force commander who until this week maintained what looked like rock-solid control of the most populous Arab nation and the cultural heart of the region.
With looting and arson fires rocking the capital, Mubarak seemed faced with the choice between a deadly crackdown and major concessions to protesters demanding he step down this year and not hand power to his son, Gamal.
The once-unimaginable scenes of anarchy along the Nile played out on television and computer screens from Algiers to Riyadh, two weeks to the day after protesters in Tunisia drove out their autocratic president. Images of the protests in the smaller North African country emboldened Egyptians to launch four straight days of increasingly fearless demonstrations organized over mobile phone, Facebook and Twitter.
The government cut off the Internet and mobile-phone services in Cairo, called the army into the streets and imposed a nationwide night-time curfew. The extreme measures were ignored by tens of thousands of rich, poor and middle-class protesters who united in rage against a regime seen as corrupt, abusive and neglectful of the nearly half of Egypt's 80 million people who live below the poverty line of $2 a day.
"All these people want to bring down the government. That's our basic desire," said protester Wagdy Syed, 30. "They have no morals, no respect, and no good economic sense."

I want to add an "insertBefore" on a method of a core JDK 5 class. For some reason it´s not working. Here's an example of the code:
ClassPool pool = ClassPool.getDefault();
CtClass ctClass = pool.get("com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XSMessageFormatter");
CtMethod ctMethod = ctClass.getDeclaredMethods()[0];
The com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XSMessageFormatter comes bundled with the JDK, it's inside rt.jar. After the snippet above, I run some code that forces the XSMessageFormatter class to run, but my inserted code never runs. I can only get this to work on my own classes. This code is running as a simple standalone app.
Any ideas?

In our last program we explored the problem of sea level rise and coastal flooding, a condition that nearly all of the nations' ocean coastal areas face to varying degrees. In this episode, we are focusing on the Great Lakes, where lake levels are are falling and may continue to fall as a result of climate change. Falling lake levels have many implications—economic and environmental.
Guests on this episode include Roger Germann, executive vice president of the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, and Dr. Drew Gronewold, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Aquarium President and CEO Jerry Schubel moderates the discussion.

We've all seen the video of the Vet coming down countless times -- explosions are fun, after all -- but here's some rare footage of the construction of Veterans Stadium and the now infamous 700 level section.
The video is from the Philadelphia Department of Records who recently decided to put some old videos they unearthed onto their YouTube page. Philly Mag described them as "showcasing everything from footage of Mayor Frank Rizzo in Germantown to shots of the construction of Veterans stadium."
Obviously the Vet construction was the most relevant to our audience. There's no audio to go along with the footage but look at all those different colored seats!
It may sound weird but the place actually looked kind of pretty before a game was ever even played there, right?

Deer Hunting On The Fly
based on a lifetime of observations gathered hunting in other states. A deer acts pretty much the same in Missouri as it does anywhere else. That's the first lesson in hunting on the fly.
Habitat Is Key
Even if you're hunting your own property, you may not be familiar with every nook and cranny. However, you may see deer in the same places every morning as you leave for work or when you come home in the evenings. Those are basic patterns that can help put you in the right place at the right time.
Now, take a closer look and see what attracts them to those places. Are there lots of acorns in that area for them to eat, or perhaps some sweet clover or succulent grasses? Are there persimmon trees or some other type of soft mast, such as muscadines or wild plums?
Widen your vision and survey the terrain and vegetation. No matter where you hunt, this is the key to finding deer.
Except at night, dusk or dawn, deer generally don't frequent open country. Instead, they prefer areas that offer concealed travel routes, such as wooded creek bottoms separating small, narrow bottomland fields and pastures.
In short, deer thrive in areas with a lot of edge habitat. Edge is any type of feature, either organic or topographic, that separates one type of terrain or habitat type from another.
Imagine a 200-acre cow pasture with nothing on it but fescue grass. That's poor deer habitat, and it would be fruitless to hunt in the middle of it. Instead, look along the edges of the pasture. If it's bordered by woods or thickets, that's edge habitat. Deer might not travel across the middle of the pasture, but a wooded border might be a veritable deer highway, especially if it leads to a larger patch of woods, an overgrown field, or a creek or river bottom. Wooded edges are even more attractive to deer if they contain a mixture of mature trees and brushy thickets. Deer use these types of areas for bedding cover, and they can also move through them virtually undetected.
Let's go back to our hypothetical fescue field. Chances are it's not completely flat, but has rolling humps, swales and shallow ravines that crisscross the plain. Now, envision those swales and ravines covered with mature trees and brush thickets that partition the open areas into 10- to 20-acre parcels. That patchwork of cover practically

Lexington, TN -- The Tennessee Highway Patrol says four people were killed in a crash
on Interstate 40 in West Tennessee after a semi-truck hit a cow on the
roadway and went into oncoming traffic.
Highway patrol
spokeswoman Dalya Qualls says the driver of the semi was heading
eastbound on I-40 in Henderson County on Tuesday night when he struck
the cow and lost control of the vehicle.
Qualls said
Wednesday that the semi went into the median and slid into westbound
lanes of traffic, striking another tractor-trailer and an SUV.
Two people in the semi that started the crash were killed. Also killed were two occupants of the SUV.
CBS affiliate WTVF reports
that the two people killed inside the semi have been identified as the
driver, 49-year-old Rodney Price from North Carolina, and 45-year-old
Brian Lederer from Woodlawn, Virginia. Price was not wearing a seatbelt,
the station reported.
The victims killed the SUV were
identified as 41-year-old Deborah Whitelow and 22-year-old Trarell
Robinson, WTVF reported. Both were from Ripley, Tennessee.
The interstate was shut down, but it reopened early Wednesday.

In a World Without Heroes
Princeton University ethicist Peter Singer discusses 'The Pianist'Beliefnet continues with Peter Singer, the Princeton University ethicist whose controversial views on animal rights and euthanasia have stirred international debate on these topics. In his new book, "Pushing Time Away: My Grandfather and the Tragedy of Jewish Vienna," Singer takes a new turn as a writer, telling the story of his family's ruin by the Nazis. With the Holocaust much on his mind these days, Singer talked to Beliefnet's Rebecca Phillips about Roman Polanski's movie, "The Pianist."
"The Pianist" is adapted from the memoir of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish pianist, who, while living in the Warsaw Ghetto, manages to escape deportation to a concentration camp and later escapes the Ghetto and survives the war.
You saw "The Pianist" in Warsaw where the film is set. What was it like to see it there?
It's obviously very moving. It's a very powerful movie, and during the movie Warsaw gets essentially turned into a heap of rubble. You walk out of the cinema, and you're almost surprised to see that buildings are there around you--many of them new, but one or two have been restored. You get a vivid sense that this is part of the history of where you are.
What moved you about the story?
It shows the abyss to which people can sink and also, to some extent, the heights of heroism people can rise to. It also showed the chance elements in survival--how much it was a matter of luck whether you did or didn't survive.
There have been accounts of the Holocaust that dress it up in one way or another, put a particular slant on it. This didn't. It didn't try to show all Jews as heroes either, since there was obviously a lot of nasty, corrupt stuff going on in the ghetto. That's probably what it was like--that's what human nature is like under these circumstances.
How did the Polish audience react to it?
They were clearly moved. Most of the audience was too young to [remember the events], so to some extent they were learning their own history. There's been an intensive discussion there of Poles' role, particularly because of the book "Neighbors" [by Jan Tomasz Gross], in the killing of Jews. The movie shows accurately that some Poles called the police to take Jews away and others risked their lives to save them. Without Polish help, Szpilman could not have survived.

Industry Advisor by Jose Perez
RISMEDIA, September 30, 2009—Brokers have suffered over the past few years due to eroding profit margins, lower sales volume and real estate prices. Historically, brokers have been slow to adapt to change, often reactive instead of proactive.
Internet Practices. The industry's slow adoption to Internet practices has allowed others to chip away at marketshare and/or position themselves between the consumer and the brokerage. Many brokerages are still operating Web 1.0 sites without a serious online strategy that includes an integrated approach to their websites, Internet marketing, social media and search engine optimization.
Lack of Accountability. A second factor contributing to the current industry malaise is that its salespeople are primarily commission-only, independent contractors. Real estate agents are not generally held accountable by managers and, similarly, managers are not usually held sufficiently accountable by ownership.
To move forward, brokers will have to take some significant steps to reinvent themselves and their companies in three very important areas:
-Reinventing themselves. Brokers need to accept the fact that this recession is causing a seismic shift in the way they will have to act, the way they will have to interact with agents of the future and the way they will have to interact with the Internet-savvy consumer of today.
-Online strategy. Brokers need to move toward a comprehensive strategy that includes upgrading their websites, adopting a social media strategy and moving toward an Internet marketing strategy that includes listing syndication, search engine optimization and Internet lead management.
-Recruiting the agent of the future. Brokerages are realizing they have no choice but to reinvent themselves in order to attract these new types of agents.
We need to start making structural changes to the way we operate as an industry in these and several other areas. Step back and ask yourself, are you committed to changing for the future?

Oil Rush is a real-time naval strategy game based on group control. It combines the strategic challenge of a classical RTS with the sheer fun of Tower Defence. Fight the naval war between furious armies across the boundless waters of the post-apocalyptic world. Pump the ever-so-precious black gold by oil rigs, capture platforms and destroy the enemy in the sea and in the air. Be ingenious to unlock super technologies and quick to send your squads straight into the heat of the battle!
Great game! Still in beta and missing some features and performance optimizations but already a lot of fun and 100% stable.
Awesome graphics, Awesome concept, Awesome gameplay.. perfect game for Linux :D
The core gameplay is identical to the flash game Nano Wars from kongregate.com
Layered ontop of that is turrets for your docks, and different types of docks spawning different units.
Nothing amazingly innovative in terms of gameplay, but the graphics are really really good, it handles smoothly, and the interface is quite intuitive. Pretty damn good for a beta. Well worth 10 pounds.
This game is a real challenge. Gameplay is fast, graphics are stunning. Plays well on linux.
Campaign mode features excessively cheesy animations; the realtime-rendered main game is much better looking (atypical for games). Despite being a strategy game campaign mode is relatively restrictive and has a poor difficulty ramp.
Great game! But the lack of Russian voices in the game from Russian developer irritates
Good game!
Stunnig visual effect with innovative gameplay~
High quality game on Linux after so long!
Медленно работает на моём компьюетере, и механика игры быстро приедается + не удобно управление юнитами, ибо миникарта сделана очень маленькой, а основной экран игры нужен только для построения платформ.
It was a easy installation, click install, checkout, download and play.
From the first moment a very Beautiful and smooth game
very easy to play, mouse and keyboard keys that make sense.
Can't wait for the final product.
First, the gameplay: the tower defense / strategy combination is something that I find really awesome. The gameplay is also very smooth and engaging. I feel like I'm really in command of these units, so when one of them goes down, I swear retaliation and prepare more for my cause.
Next, the graphics: wow... just wow. I might be in the small percentile of people with "high-end" Linux PCs, but I can assure you that by seeing what this game looks like at maxed out settings it is worth it. My PC can handle it without breaking a sweat. The water, world, and environmental parts are rendered beautifully and fluidly, and everything is as smooth as butter.
I know the game is only in pre-release, and there are bugs -- such as not having audio on my system as of 0.95 and not being able to run it fullscreen on my Linux PC -- but they are easily overlooked and the game should come out more polished soon. Its release date is approaching, and this game is shaping up to be even more impressive!

Judge delays Clemens trial by 3 months
Wednesday, December 8, 2010
WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge is pushing back the trial for baseball star Roger Clemens to July so attorneys can review "voluminous" evidence.
Clemens was originally scheduled to go on trial in April on charges he lied about using performance enhancing drugs.
At a hearing Wednesday, prosecutors said the case has produced some 54,000 pages of evidence. Clemens' attorney Rusty Hardin said they need more time to go through it and hire an expert witness to examine the scientific evidence against Clemens.
Hardin also said the Mitchell Commission and a congressional panel that investigated the use of performance enhancing drugs are refusing to turn over material as evidence for the criminal case. He indicated he will request a subpoena.
Clemens did not comment, but sat taking notes during the hearing.

TetraMin vs. Wardley's
I have been feeding TetraMin flakes to my tropical tank. When I ran out the other day, I bought Wardey's version of the same flakes because the Wardley's was on sale. When I opened the Wardley's, however, the flakes were the drab, brownish-pink colors of my Goldfish flakes and not the rich, dark colors of the TetraMin flakes. Is there a nutritional difference between the two? Is TetraMin better? Is it at all possible that Goldfish flakes got mistakenly labeled as tropical flakes?
Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure my fish get the proper nutrition they need. I do supplement once a week or so with freeze-dried blood worms and tubifex worms and occasional pea hearts, but they get the majority of their food from the flakes.
I feed my fish Wardleys and grind it into apowder to feed my fry and I have never had a problem with it. I suppliment with a lot of different foods though so their color may be a result of that.
Grindal worms, peas, green beans, cyclopseze, shrimp pellets, and anything els eI have on hand. I think the flakes are fine but maybe a little more varied diet would help them even more than the color of the flakes.
If you want to get a really good flake food that will still give a good variety try HERE . The Earthworm flakes are supposed to a great conditioner food for spawning and the variety of flakes they offer seems to be a great option for quality fish flakes at a good price. I have only tried a sample of a few of them but my fish loved them the first time they ate them. When I get the funds I will be ordering the medley and the decapsulted brine shrimp eggs to offer an ever better and higher quality variety of foods.
Okay, that makes me feel better. I will keep supplementing the flakes to make sure they get a more varied diet. Appreciate the info!

The Personal Side of Dominion Energy
This beautiful young lady is Katie, the daughter of an employee at Dominion Energy, one of our most faithful and long-time supporters.
It was truly a blessing when Dominion Energy became involved with QFK. Through their partnership we are able to fund workshops so that quilters could come together and use their talents to create wonderful, colorful quilts for children, which are donated to hospitals in the Dominion Energy region, from Rhode Island, to Ohio, to Virginia.
We have always told our Dominion contacts, "We are your charity. If you ever hear of anyone who needs a quilt, just call."
Recently we did indeed receive a call from Bob Sauer at the Fairless Hills location telling us that an employee's teen-age daughter had been diagnosed with AML and was receiving chemo. Carefully chosen just for Katie, this bright scrappy quilt came from a workshop taught by our own Sally Weber to the St. Paul's Church quilt group in Beechwood, NJ.
The latest word on Katie is that she is doing very well. Receiving chemo on an out-patient basis, she is stable and growing stronger every day as she prepares for her bone marrow transplant.
Thanks to all of you who craft such beautiful quilts to give away. You may not see a photo of the child who receives yours, but we can assure you that his/her smile will be just as bright as Katie's.

This time I was totally smashed when experimenting with the search by a short track from The XX – "Intro". After 10th amateur video I was mesmerized by the fact that this track make people shoot the cities they love. Whatever the city: Paris, New York, Haiti, Chelyabinsk, Singapore… I totally loved the way they do it, it is not annoying – it is just inspiring. (Also I added some non-city video to feel the difference)

Edited Collection -- Into the Pensieve: The Harry Potter Generation in Retrospect. [DEADLINE: Jan 15, 2015]
full name / name of organization:
Balaka Basu, Emily Lauer
contact email:
There now exists a generation who have grown up in a culture thoroughly permeated by Harry Potter, from the books to the movies and beyond. Now that the series has come to a close, it is time to take stock: how exactly has this generation of new adults been shaped and constructed by the cultural zeitgeist that is the Harry Potter universe? What future is there for Harry Potter studies? Are we still in the Harry Potter Age, or have we entered a Post-Potter age?
We seek essays of 6,000 - 7,000 words for this collection that address the idea of a Harry Potter Generation broadly, with perspectives including fan studies, pedagogy, and traditional theoretical lenses.
Possible themes might include, but are not limited to:
- Fan studies, including fandom communities and productions, and those authors writing now whose work was inspired by the Harry Potter phenomenon.
Email queries are very welcome at any time; send completed papers as attachments in Word format to Balaka Basu and Emily Lauer at email@example.com by January 15, 2015.

Dracula ant (Adetomyrma venatrix)
|Adetomyrma (1)
The dracula ant is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The recently discovered dracula ant (Adetomyrma venatrix) is a highly unusual species, so named because of its grisly feeding habits of drinking the blood of its young (2) (3). First described in 1994, these ants did not attract much scientific attention until the discovery of an entire colony in 2001 (4). The Dracula ant has since attracted widespread interest not only because of this curious behaviour, but also because of its seemingly ancestral morphology (5) (6). Unlike most ants, these orange coloured ants have abdomens that closely resemble those of wasps, from which ants are believed to have descended some 70 to 80 million years ago (2) (3). Thus, they have been described as a possible 'missing link' in ant evolution (5). Winged males are a darker orange than the workers, the queen is yellow and the larvae are white (3) (4).
The dracula ant is endemic to Madagascar (1).
Dracula ant colonies have been found in rotting logs (4) and leaf litter (3) in tropical dry forest (7) in one of Madagascar's last remaining high plateau forests just outside the country's capital (5).
Colonies of dracula ants may contain as many as 10,000 workers, winged males and several wingless queens (4) (5). The workers go out each day to capture prey, which they stun using venom, to bring back to the colony for the larvae to feed upon. It is the unique and bizarre feeding habits of the queen and workers, however, which has fascinated researchers. Hungry Dracula ants scratch and chew holes into their larvae and suck out the hemolymph, the ant equivalent of blood (4). This practice has been described as a form of 'non-destructive cannibalism', since the larvae are not killed by it. Nevertheless, when hungry workers enter the chamber, the larvae have been observed attempting to flee and escape their fate (6).
Winged males are thought to disperse by flying to other colonies before mating (4). However, the colonies reproduce by budding (fission), with colony fission in ants being synonymous with short-range dispersal on foot because the queens are wingless. This has dramatic consequences on both gene flow and colonisation patterns and thus Dracula ants may be more susceptible to habitat disturbance (8).
The precise threats facing this recently discovered species are unknown, but the dramatic growth of Madagascar's human population and associated residential, agricultural and industrial development are known to be having a severe detrimental effect on the country's forest habitat (6). Thus, habitat loss is likely to play an important role in the decline of the dracula ant, as it has with many of the island's other endemic fauna.
Entomologist Dr. Fisher of the California Academy of Sciences, who first discovered an entire colony of dracula ants in 2001, has moved a few colonies into a laboratory environment (6). This not only allows the species to be studied in greater depth, but also serves as a buffer against total extinction. Indeed, it is feared that these relics of an earlier stage of evolution may disappear from the wild completely in less than a decade (6).

Gary Hutzel was a Starfleet captain in the 24th century.
Hutzel was part of the Warp Technologies Development Group which helped design and construct the starship USS Enterprise-D. His name was listed on the dedication plaque of that starship when it was commissioned in 2363. (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
In 2364, he held the rank of commander. On stardate 41547.8, a list of names, including his, were sent to the USS Matte Fringe by Admiral Daniel Curry of Starfleet Mission Operations Division. The individuals on this list had received security clearances for a project involving this Federation starship. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
In 2368, he was treated in the Taylor Hospital on Melina II for the Iresine Syndrome. It was later discovered, that in fact he had been subject to a telepathic memory invasion by the Ullian Jev. (TNG: "Violations")

Three dimensional giant-sized replicas of five different cities of Anatolia (Istanbul, Konya, Mardin, Van, Izmir, Gaziantep, Adiyaman and Kilis) and the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul are assembled with panoramic backgrounds. Artisans traveling all the way from Turkey display and demonstrate many traditional handicrafts like hand- woven carpets, the arts of water marbling, calligraphy, stone-carving and filigree during the four-day festival.
The Armenian Church of the Holy Cross on the island of Akhtamar also sits on the festival ground amazingly realistic from inside and outside, two fifth of its original size is one of the most visited places of the festival.
The replica of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul houses more than 120 booths with food, handcrafts, souvenirs, and art exhibits. Visitors are able to freshen themselves up with a cup of Turkish coffee or several glasses of tea at another busy spot of the festival area, named after The Traditional Coffeehouse. Just like the real Grand Bazaar, visitors can walk through the booths displaying hand-made jewelry, scarves, lucky charms and hand- woven carpet displays accompanied by the Anatolian hospitality.
Visitors are drawn into 99 different kinds of food including kebabs and doner (Gyros), various kinds of desserts including baklava, dumplings, and the world famous tough and stretchy Maras's ice-cream. The Anatolian Cultures and Food Festival is a feast for all of the five senses!
Need an adventure? Are you ready to treat your tastebuds and zoom back centuries to a mystical time and place?
Then the Anatolian Cultures and Food Festival 2013 awaits you. No need to pack because all you have to do is grab your hat and camera and head to Costa Mesa for a cultural roller coaster ride. Best of all this one costs less than $12 per adult.
There you will find an entire region come to life with spectacular 3-D sets, mouthwatering offerings of foods, including freshly-made kebabs, pastries and Turkish coffee and the catchy music of dancers and musicians in costume.
No plane tickets are necessary for this trip of a life-time. Just put on your walking shoes and explore the life-like exhibits of famous landmarks like the Sultan's Palace in Istanbul, the House of Mary in Izmir, the sufi poet Rumi's museum in Konya, the Armenian Church of Akhdamar and much more. Let these historic sites come to life with crafts, music and dance demonstrations and be prepared to stuff your bags with handmade jewelry, your name in Ottoman calligraphy, Turkish carpets, stone carvings and much more.
For kids, the festival has everything from authentic sweet treats like stretchy ice-cream, baklava and refreshing juices and yoghurt drinks on tap at the historic Ahmet III Fountain. They can join in on the dancing, have their pictures taken with Ottoman sultans and exclusively this year, they can shake the largest hands in the world which belong to Sultan Kosen, designated the Tallest Living Person in the World by The Guiness Book of Records.
Food is always the main attraction at the festival and visitors can savor freshly rolled out gozlemes (flat breads), steamy bowls of manti (dumplings with yoghurt sauce), stuffed vegetables and authentic doner, served up this year by a famous restaurant from the city of Antep, Turkey's culinary center.
A host of chefs, food writers and historians will also be giving demuos and talking about the history of Anatolian Cuisine.

Reviews by Harry_276
A Lovecraft lovers dreamHarry_276 | Dec. 12, 2013 | Review of Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth - PC
Date in graphics but solid in game play Dark Corners is a game that lets its mechanics speak for itself. Lovecraft lore is front and center in this romp through the village of Innsmouth with background detail so crafted that you swear you entered into one of Lovecraft's novellas. The only downside I would say is how the game goes from a game about surviving and mystery solving to a shooter near the final act, but the shear amount of care they went to making this a quiet apt representation of Lovecrafts world is more then enough to pardon the creators for it. If you are a Lovecraft fan you will love this game, if your curious about Lovecraft you will enjoy this game, you will be happy you did
Wonder the wasteland and never feel like your lostHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of Fallout 3 - PC
The Fallout games have never suffered from something I feel keeps Skyrim from reaching Fallout's level of quality, focus. Though both games are open world games where you explore and help people around you as your work on a central quest line. Fallout never suffers from Skyrims issue of focus, you always have an idea of what your doing and where your going at all times, and this I feel is very important for a large game such as this. Though the story is nothing that will change the world it is still entertaining frames the world your exploring in very well, it works to help make a fun game even funner and in the end that is all that really matters. Get this game.
A world of wonder under the seaHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of BioShock NA Overflow 1 - PC
From the moment you enter Rapture to when you leave you are imprinted upon by a world you can't really believe. A game that has aged well and will continue to do so it, in my mind, can't be praise enough for its story, setting, originality, and over all experience that it has giving me that no other game to date has. The creators have seem to realize its the little things that matter and they get just as much attention as any major detail, leading to an experience that is refined down to its very nuts and bolts (pun intended). Why are you still reading this review, get the game, that is all I can say, and you will not be disappointed.
An epic adventure that lacks focusHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Legendary Edition Bethesda - PC
Epic adventure abounds in the world of Skyrim, if you can focus on it long enough. The latest Elder Scrolls game boasted this huge open world with tons to explore and by god it did deliver, hours upon hours in and I have barley scratched the surface of what this game has to offer, but what could be its greatest strength could also be its greatest weakness. Though the world of massive and full of adventure it lacks any real focus, sure its fun but its so easy to get sidetracked to such a degree that you may start out on one quest but end up doing something completely different on the other side of the map with 4 more quest added to your log. Don't get me wrong this game is fun and I have had a blast playing, but the environment this game provides makes it too easy to loose focus and ultimately get nothing done when it seems you accomplished allot. I would still suggest this game to friends, but I would warn them that some extra focus on their part might be required.
A rocking adventure that stumbles occasionallyHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of Brutal Legend - PC
Do you like to rock, kick ass and fight...in RTS battles? Brutal legend is a game I feel will become one of those little game gems that earn the right to be called cult classic. Play as Eddie Riggs the worlds greatest Roadie as he fights his way through a world of Heavy Metal, and my god is it amazing and full of secrets that will keep you searching for hours. Character is a huge part of this game from the world with designs that would fit on any Metal Album cover to the actual characters and people you interact with along the way, get ready to belly laugh at the game lighter moments only to clench your controller in adrenalin when things heat up. The only thing I can say is wrong with the game is the main battles. Though most of the fighting is done with your Axe and magic (in the form of powerful guitar riffs) the major story battles take the form of simple RTS style fights. Though there is some strategic logic required and you can fly down to join in the fight it does present an odd shift in tone and can be jarring at first. That being said this is still a great game and well worth your dollar, get it and get lost in the world of Brutal Legend.
Unique doesn't even begin to discribeHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of Bastion - PC
The first thing you hear when your character awakens is a soothing but gravely voice telling you the story of your life from that moment on, and you never want him to stop. Bastion is a rare game that tries something new and chooses to do so in a minor way that works, and my god does it work. You would think having the game narrated the entire time would be annoying but the few moments your story teller is quiet you see just how empty the game feels without him, combine that with amazing visuals, easy yet rewarding combat, character customization through power ups for you and your weapons and you have an amazing game under the guise of a story about a boy and his hammer.
The return of greatnessHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of BioShock Infinite NA Post - PC
I am a huge Bioshock fan so needless to say I was super excited when I heard about the new entry into the series, let alone it was back in Irrationals hands. I was not prepaird for how amazing this game was, from graphics to story to game play, it almost brought me back to mind set I had when I first entered Rapture. When a sequel invokes feelings not seen since the original, yea you have a good game. My only complaint is they ditch the weapon wheel for a 2 gun limit ala every shooter our there now (sadly) and health kits for a shield with no visual representation of weapon upgrades on said weapons like the previous installments. That being said these nit picks are not enough to tarnish what is a great game, I would gladly recommend it to a friend or three and let them get lost in the world that is Bioshock.
Tons of fun that only gets more awesome with friendsHarry_276 | Oct. 25, 2013 | Review of Borderlands 2 NA Overflow 1 - PC
I was skeptical about this game when it came out, considering my time with the original borderlands, but my friends kept pushing and now I don't know why I doubted them. This game is hands down a huge improvement over its predecessor with ever tighter controls and gun play, upped interface and quest dialog, all while retaining the franchises signature humor and introducing of my favorite guys to hate (Handsome Jack) I would suggest this game to anyone with hours to kill, then again when they want something they can play with friends. Get this game

Higbie settles in as pastor at Calvary Assembly of God
Friday, November 23, 2012
The Rev. Jeff and Patti Higbie knew God was urging them elsewhere.
After an enjoyable dozen years with their Assembly of God congregation in Iberia, they "laid out the fleece," saying if the lord wants them to move, the right congregation will contact them.
In December 2010, the Rev. Roy Bennett and his wife, Hazel, who had served there for eight years, were planning to retire and felt God calling the Higbies as their replacements.
They knew Calvary Assembly of God was the divinely-appointed place for them.
"The first time I preached here, I knew instantaneously this was going to be home," Higbie said of the Jefferson City church, located at 704 Rock Hill Road.
