A man who was charged in the robbery of a Greenwood gas station pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and served no additional jail time after a judge barred a key piece of evidence in the case.
A person convicted of armed robbery could be sentenced to six to 20 years in prison. Joshua Allen, 28, Indianapolis, was charged with that felony after police said he robbed a Speedway station at gunpoint. But he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to 122 days, equal to the time he already had served in the jail.
The reason: A judge determined police acted improperly by showing Allen to the clerk who was robbed and then asking if he was the man who held up the store with a handgun.
No lineup
Johnson Superior 2 Judge Cynthia Emkes wouldn't allow prosecutors to use the evidence from when the clerk identified Allen because Greenwood police did not conduct a photo lineup.
Police brought the clerk from the Speedway store, 1291 N. Madison Ave., to the police station and showed him Allen through a window and said they arrested him after the robbery, according to court documents. The clerk then told police Allen was the man who robbed the store, according to court documents.
The judge cited U.S. Supreme Court and Indiana Appellate Court cases that have stated that type of one-on-one identification is highly suggestive to the victim and not usable as evidence in court, according to court documents.
What must be proved
To convict someone of robbery, a prosecutor needs to prove a person intentionally takes property from another person by using force or fear. The charge is more severe if that person uses a deadly weapon or injures the victim.
In 2013, the county prosecutor's office filed 20 robbery charges total, which included 13 armed robbery charges and four cases in which a person was injured.
"They brought the store clerk to the cell in the police station and essentially said, 'We caught this guy. Is that him?' They're not allowed to do that, and they should have all known better," Allen's attorney Carrie Miles said.
Preparing a lineup would have been difficult because Greenwood did not have any recent photos of Allen and would have had to use an old driver's license photo, said Greenwood Detective Rex Saltsgaver, who investigated the incident. The clerk might not have recognized the photo if Allen's appearance had changed considerably since the photo, Saltsgaver said.
Greenwood police have identified suspects in other cases this way before without any issues in court, he said.
Greenwood police plan to share the police report and judge's ruling on the case with officers and investigators in order to prevent a similar situation in the future, Saltsgaver said. The case will be a reminder for police to be careful about what they say before a lineup to avoid leading a witness into identifying a specific person, he said.
Police said a man went into the gas station and pointed a handgun at the clerk on Jan. 24. He then took energy drinks, cigarettes, cellphones and $464 in cash, according to a police report. He ordered the clerk outside at gunpoint and told him to lay in the grass and count to 30 or he would shoot him, the report said. The robber got into a car with three other people and threatened to burn down the station if the driver didn't drive away, the report said.
Greenwood officers arrested Allen a short time later after talking with other men who were in the car at the gas station, the report said. When Allen was arrested, police found the items that were reported stolen from the gas station but did not find a handgun.
Greenwood police had other evidence, including statements from the other people in the car and two people from a nearby apartment complex who spoke with the people from the car, Saltsgaver said. Officers also had surveillance video that showed the car pulling up, a person going into the store and them coming back out and the vehicle leaving, which matched witnesses' statements, he said.
But the definition of robbery in state law requires the prosecutor to prove that one person took something by force from another person, Johnson County Prosecutor Brad Cooper said. Since the judge blocked the identification by the clerk, Cooper said none of that other evidence would support a robbery charge.
Police had security video from the gas station, but the video was not clear and the robber was wearing a hooded sweatshirt that covered his head, Cooper said. The other people in the car wouldn't have been reliable witnesses since they drove away with Allen after the robbery, Cooper said. Since they did not go into the store, they also did not actually see the robbery occur, he said.
Allen pleaded guilty to a theft charge offered by the prosecutor's officer because he did not want to spend more time in jail or risk going to trial, Miles said.
"I had no evidence to proceed on. The judge suppressed the victim's identification of the suspect. There is absolutely no excuse for what they (Greenwood police) did, and they have a lot more experience than that," Cooper said.
Since the robbery occurred quickly and the robber's head was covered, officers should have made sure to give an unbiased lineup, Cooper said. Being robbed is a high-stress event; and if police present only one person, the victim is more likely to trust that police arrested the right person even if they're not sure, Cooper said.
"The suspect had a hoodie on over their head and that starts to make the lineup difficult to make, and that's why it becomes important to make an honest lineup," Cooper said.

Woman Gets 3 Years For Helping Smuggle Chinese Honey
By Lance Duroni
Chicago (September 30, 2013, 7:34 PM ET) -- A U.S.-based agent for a dozen
Chinese honey importers was sentenced Monday to three years in prison for her role in
smuggling operations that allegedly avoided nearly $40 million of anti-dumping
At a federal court hearing in Chicago, Hung Yi Lin — who pled guilty last year
to three counts of entry of goods into the U.S. by means of false statements —
was also ordered to pay $512,852 in restitution, but avoided the six-year
prison sentence sought by prosecutors.
Lin, 43, also known as Katy Lin, allegedly played a pivotal role in helping her
clients falsify documents on shipping containers loaded with Chinese-origin
honey from 2009 to 2012, making it appear that they were filled with sugars or
syrups. Through the California-based company she owned and operated, KBB
Express Inc., Lin ultimately helped bring $11.5 million of honey into the
country that dodged $39.2 million in anti-dumping duties and honey assessments,
according to prosecutors.
But Lin's attorney, Ken Miller of Bienert Miller
& Katzman PLC, described his client Monday as a hard-working immigrant entrepreneur who was
used by the Chinese honey importers and did not share in the spoils from the
alleged scheme. She was merely a freight-forwarder that earned between $30,000
and $80,000 annually during the years in question, he said, adding that a
probation-only sentence would be sufficient punishment.
A tearful Lin told U.S. District Judge Milton I. Shadur that she was not
attempting to flee prosecution last year when she was arrested on her way out
of the country, claiming she was going to visit her parents in Taiwan for the
Chinese New Year.
"I'm really sorry if anything I did hurt this country. I came here for my
dream," she said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros countered that Lin repeatedly
participated in a sophisticated scheme over a three-year period, calling her
role "absolutely critical." He also stressed the damage to the U.S. honey
industry caused when the price of honey collapsed due to the smuggling
operation and others like it.
"She caused a lot of harm to a lot of people — and to a very weak industry,"
Boutros said. "This is not a victimless crime."
Backing his point, several owners of beekeeping businesses and others in the
industry appeared at the hearing to tell their stories. Timothy Mullins,
managing partner at EJ Mullins Co., said his firm's Dutch Gold Honey unit in
Lancaster, Pa., was nearly run out of business in 2010 after a "tsunami" of
illegal honey poured into the U.S. from China.
Judge Shadur ultimately departed from the sentencing guidelines cited by the
prosecution — which called for around a six-year sentence — giving Lin credit
for her cooperation with the government even though it did not lead to any
additional arrests or prosecutions. He also said it was "particularly
regrettable" that Lin had created harm that was "way out of proportion with any
benefit she derived."
Lin's arrest was part of a much larger government
probe of Chinese honey smuggling operations that allegedly dodged
$180 million in anti-dumping duties combined. Two domestic honey processing
companies — Honey Holding I Ltd. and Groeb Farms Inc. — both inked deferred
prosecution agreements last year as a result of the investigation, agreeing to
pay fines of $1 million and $2 million, respectively.
In addition to Lin, four other individuals were charged last year for their
alleged roles in the smuggling operations, including Douglas Murphy, Honey
Holding's former director of sales, and Donald Couture, president of honey
distributor Premium Food Sales Inc.
Lin is represented by Kenneth M. Miller of Bienert Miller & Katzman PLC,
and John T. Theis.
The case is U.S. v. Hung Yi Lin, case number 1:13-cr-00125, in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois.
U.S. Department
of Justice
United States
Northern District
of Illinois
CHICAGO — A California
woman was sentenced today to three years in federal prison for illegally transporting hundreds of container loads of Chinese-origin
honey through the Chicago area after it entered the country illegally. The defendant,
HUNG YI LIN, also known as "Katy Lin," 42, of Temple City, Calif., pleaded guilty
in May to three counts of violating U.S. importation laws by falsely declaring that
the honey shipments contained sugars, syrups, and apple juice concentrate to avoid
$39.2 million in anti-dumping duties.
Lin, who owns
and operates KBB Express Inc., of South El Monte, Calif., and served as the U.S.
agent for at least 12 importers that were controlled by Chinese honey producers
and manufacturers, was sentenced to a year in prison on each of the three counts,
to be served consecutively, by U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur. Lin was ordered
to begin serving her sentence on Nov. 12. She was also ordered to pay restitution
of $512,852 in unpaid tariffs.
"This sentence
is the result of an extensive worldwide investigation that successfully dismantled
the largest food fraud scheme in U.S. history," said Gary Hartwig, Special Agent-in-
Charge of HSI Chicago. "Lin's illegal business
practices cheated the U.S. government of nearly $40 million, while also inflicting
damage on the domestic honey marketplace. We remain committed to protecting U.S.
businesses from fraudulent trade practices, while fostering and facilitating the
movement of legitimate trade across our borders that is critical to our economy."
According to court
documents, between 2009 and 2012, Lin schemed to falsify the importation documents
for hundreds of containers of Chinese-origin honey by misrepresenting the contents
as sugars and syrups. As a result, the
honey, which had an aggregate declared value of nearly $11.5 million when it entered
the country, avoided antidumping duties and honey assessments totaling $39.2 million.
The sentence was
announced by Gary S. Shapiro, United States Attorney for the Northern District of
Illinois and Mr. Hartwig, as well as officials with Field Operations for U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) in Chicago, and the Chicago Field Office of the Food
and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigations.
Lin was among
a group of individuals and companies who were charged earlier this year in the second
phase of an investigation led by agents of
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HIS). See: http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/pr/chicago/2013/pr0220
In December 2001,
the Commerce Department determined that Chinese-origin honey was being sold in the
United States at less than fair market value, and imposed antidumping duties. The
duties were as high as 221 percent of the declared value, and later were assessed
against the entered net weight, currently at $2.63 per net kilogram, in addition
to a "honey assessment fee" of one cent per pound of all honey. In October 2002,
the Food and Drug Administration issued an import alert for honey containing the
antibiotic Chloramphenicol, a broad spectrum antibiotic that is used to treat serious
infections in humans, but which is not approved for use in honey.
Honey containing
certain antibiotics is deemed "adulterated" within the meaning of federal food and
drug safety laws.
In 2008, federal
authorities began investigating allegations involving circumventing antidumping
duties through illegal imports, including transshipment and mislabeling, on the
"supply side" of the honey industry. The second phase of the investigation involved
the illegal buying, processing, and trading of honey that illegally entered the
U.S. on the "demand side" of the industry.
The government
is being represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros.

AHPA is testifying!
AHPA President Randy Verhoek and Past President, Richard Adee along with Mike
Coursey from Kelley Dryer, Peter Kallas from Kallas Honey, Jill Clark with True
Souce/Dutch Gold Honey and others are in Chicago, Il. today. They are there to
testify as to the severe economic damage the actions of Cathy Lin, one of the
freight forwarders convicted in the honey circumvention fraud involving Chinese
Honey. The purpose of their testimony is to get jail time and fines to cause a
deterrent for future fraud.
Now That We Have Your Attention:
The recent issue of the "AHPA
Latest News Sept. 24, 2013" is a prime example of some of the mind - set that
AHPA and other honeybee advocacy groups have been up against. It's Varroa, Nosema, Virus', Nutrition or anything
but pesticides except the ones that beekeepers use to kill Varroa! These
articles have sparked controversy among the beekeeping community. "Get two
beekeepers in a room, and you will have three opinions." However, the articles within the AHPA posting
inspire us all to ask if beekeepers forgot how to be beekeepers? Beekeepers are the caregivers of managed
honeybees, the honeybees are sentinels of our environment. We cannot continue to "shoot the messenger,
and damn the honeybees."
I have a question for you.
Are your bees better off today than they were pre 2006? Not all beekeepers
experience the same environmental interactions.
Commercial beekeepers traveling around the country from almonds, to
cherries, to apples, to blueberries, to pumpkins will experience an interaction
with herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides that a beekeeper who pollinates
only in their home state will not. And a
beekeeper with six hives in their back yard will have nothing of the
experiences of the two commercial beekeepers.
The different experiences,
are simply that: different experiences.
A different experience does not mean bad beekeeping, irrational
behavior, or lying. It is simply a
different experience. Just as two hives
sitting next to each other may forage on different plants, so can environmental
interactions affect hives differently in close proximity. It could all depend on how the wind blows,
Some beekeepers are losing
their hives to the cocktail
of pesticides their bees are encountering.
Some beekeepers are seeing their hives weakened due to the sub-lethal
effects of the pesticide load within their food stores: pollen and nectar. Research has shown that the toxicity of each
insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, and adjuvant should be added together when
the "total" pesticide is put into use.
It is this "total" toxicity that weakens the immune system of honeybees. A recent study showed a correlation between
susceptibility of nosema
and fungicide exposure.
Beekeepers know that Varroa
mite transfers diseases to bees. Beekeepers
know the many tests to determine their mite load. Beekeepers know their bees. A West Virginia beekeeper who participated in
a "guess how many mites are in the jar" test, guessed correctly; and he
admitted he "guessed" since he forgot his glasses that day. But he knows bees; he knows honeybees in his
community. He has been a beekeeper for
more than 50 years. He has not forgotten about how to be a beekeeper. He is part of a beekeeping community that
talks to each other, learns from each other, supports our successes, and stands
together when bees and beekeepers are threatened. You the reader of this
article maybe a third or fourth generation beekeeper. Have you forgotten how to
keep bees?
Honeybees have been at the
forefront of the media for a number of years.
Some media is good, some is not.
For beekeepers we were awakened to how much the public does NOT know
about honeybees, beekeepers, and crop pollination. We have spent much time and effort to educate
the media and the public about honeybees and beekeeping, and their importance
to a sustainable and affordable food supply.
Beekeepers are not acting like "Chicken Little," the sky is
falling. Beekeepers in the U.S and
around the world are suffering more than the typical winter losses. Those winter losses, for some beekeepers are
starting to become summer losses as well.
Colonies come back after a winter, spend the growing season in
agriculture, or even on native ground and are still dwindling too fast, losing
too many of the colonies' population, months before the winter slow down. These are experiences of some beekeepers, not
all. These are the experiences of a few
beekeepers in your neighborhood when the county sprays for mosquitos—before
sundown. These are the experiences of
far too many commercial beekeepers whose bees pollinate six or seven crops, who
get inundated with a dozen or more different pesticides, with colony food stores
full of pesticides. Bees that experience
direct sprays of pesticides when they are applied during the daytime and the
crop is in bloom; the pesticides are applied on a windy day and blow onto
nearby natural forage; the pesticide residue lingers on the plant directly
exposing the bees, or it drifts into a natural water source and the bees drink
the pesticide.
These are different
experiences of different beekeepers.
These experiences are happening to beekeepers. It may not be happening to your colonies, but
it may be happening to a beekeeper in your local association. It may only be occurring mostly in one part
of your state. Your colonies may have
survived a hurricane only to have the county spray fresh water sources for
mosquitoes, and that spray wiped out your colonies.
Colonies of managed honeybees
have increased since 1961 as other countries agriculture has increased, and the
need for managed hives increased. But losses of colonies annually has
increased. Beekeepers are still experiencing
greater winter losses than has been the norm.
If we want to eradicate the
Varroa mite we could as researchers have suggested, as "mother nature"
practices—survival of the fittest.
However, it would take twenty years for honeybees to evolve and adapt to
eradicate Varroa. While the "power of
the market" approach would appeal to the Committee
for Constructive Tomorrow, it is not a viable one for the industrial
agriculture we have today, or for beekeeping in particular.
The American Honey Producers
Association, and other bee industry trade and advocacy groups do not want to
ban pesticides. We have needed and used
pesticides to fight Varroa. Beekeeping is
an important part of agriculture; we realize the need to fight crop pests. AHPA is working toward the development
of BMP's and IPM on current fungicides, pesticides, and Insect Growth
Regulators in a manner that minimizes stress on honey bees while protecting the
nation's crops. The American Honey Producers Association is
working with the Tucson lab to track 300 hives across a year to collect
real-world data on the experience of migratory colonies. We are working with the Baton Rouge lab with
a continuous effect study of pesticides on honeybees and queens. AHPA is
working with other national bee industry groups, the EPA, USDA-ARS, SETAC, and
others to improve research and determine the solutions to the decline of
honeybee health.
While divergent opinions fill
the beekeeping community, the personal experience of beekeepers should not be
discounted. Just because not all
beekeepers are experiencing the same things with their colonies does not mean
we should disparage another's experience.
All beekeepers are "citizen scientists," observing and working their
hives. All beekeepers experience the environment differently, just as your bees
Now you know as they say,
"the rest of the story".

questions EPA pesticide approvals
The Environmental Protection Agency is giving the green
light to some pesticides without enough data to prove they are safe, a report
for Congress warns.
In a 52-page report released Monday, the Government Accountability Office raises
concerns about EPA's method of granting conditional approval for new uses of
pesticides in advance of receiving full reports from the manufacturers to
support the safety of their use. The findings in the report come amid growing
concern over the effects of pesticides on humans and the environment, which
have been linked to neurological disorders and cancer, among other things.
officials, in response to recommendations in GAO's report, "EPA Should Take
Steps To Improve Its Oversight Of Conditional Registrations," have agreed to
update their systems to allow for the easier tracking of conditional
registrations and better monitor submission of the needed data.
However, the agency in a July 18 letter to Alfredo Gomez,
GAO's acting director, also defends its conditional registration program.
While EPA has "made mistakes in how it has identified the
states of conditionally and unconditionally registered pesticides" and has
limitations in tracking the submission of data, "all conditionally registered
products meet applicable legal standards, and pesticides have not been allowed
in the marketplace without adequate testing to ensure safety to both human
health and the environment," the letter says. READ MORE
Meet the New Project Apis m. - Costco Scholar!
Beekeeping community, get acquainted withthis smiling
face! Introducing Laura Brutscher, the new PAm-Costco Scholar.
Laura is the recipient of Project Apis m.'s three-year $50,000/year award
to pursue her PhD -- helping bees.
Laura Brutscher is a Ph.D. student in the Microbiology
Department at Montana State University where she is investigating the role of
microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi) in maintaining and disrupting colony health
and how microbes may relate to the recent surge of honey bee losses. In
addition, Laura will investigate what genes are essential for honey bee
antiviral immunity. Laura is co-mentored by Dr. Michelle Flenniken, a
virologist/ microbiologist investigating honey bee host-pathogen interactions,
and Dr. Carl Yeoman, an expert on rumen/gastrointestinal microbiology in
organisms ranging from humans to honey bees. Lauragrew up on a dairy farm
in Little Falls, MN, where her passion for nature and science developed early.
She obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN,
with a major in biology in 2012 and joined the Molecular Biosciences graduate
program at Montana State in August 2012. Since beginning her research, Laura
has been actively involved in maintaining the university's honey bee colonies
and sampling/surveying the honey bee-associated microbes in commercial
colonies. She looks forward to sharing her research findings with both the
scientific and beekeeping communities in order to improve honey bee health.
Congratulations, Laura!
at theTucson honey bee lab, the molecular ecology lab of Dr. Kirk
Anderson has made a proposal to the honey bee industry of
what in essence would be a 300 hive migratory bee research unit. Dr.
serves as the adviser for three PhD students from the University of
Arizona that have been keeping their own bees, and will be the
driving force behind this venture. The immediate goals to cooperate
with any
number of commercial beekeepers to gain practical beekeeping
experience and help move these colonies to California for almond
pollination and
other test sites throughout the West. Pollination contracts would help
offset some of the costs.
These colonies would be used for experimental purposes as well as
monitoring with field data being collected and processed by the labs of
Dr. Anderson
and Dr. Carroll in Tucson. This is a good concept and is relevant to the
of research we need today.
For commercial beekeepers with a serious interest in cooperating with this serious endeavor please contact Dr. Anderson. email@example.com
Red 'honey' in Utah may come
from candy-fed bees
OREM — "Red" honey is
turning up in commercial hives in multiple counties in Utah, causing
losses already in the tens of thousands of dollars for business owners
and prompting a state investigation.
State inspectors Wednesday said it is believed a yet-to-be-named large
beekeeping operation began "open-feeding" bees with a concoction of
crushed, rehydrated candy canes and other candy materials. Other bees
discovered the caches and returned contaminated to surrounding bee
"The way we're looking at it, it's just a little over $50,000," said
Orem-based 3 Bee Honey owner Chris Spencer. "The impact could be
Spencer said he began to notice the red honey showing up in July and
already has had to dump 30 to 40 pounds of it. The totals, he said,
could rise to hundreds of pounds by the end of the year.
Additionally, he said "breeder queens" have had to be removed for
evaluation, and he has observed problems with brood production, as well
as collecting genetic material from drones.
Learn the Buzz Behind Nature's Liquid
Firestone, Colo., September 1, 2013 - September is National Honey Month, and
what better time to celebrate one of nature's simplest pleasures - honey.
Honey is a
natural product that contains just one ingredient:
honey. Harvesting honey is an ancient artisanal craft that is both an art and science. The honey bees gather nectar from flowering
plants, and beekeepers collect honey from the beehives. The
journey from harvesting to distributing
honey is multifaceted. The bees simply collect nectar, add a few enzymes and store it in the honeycomb.
But all of the color, flavor and
aroma comes from the particular flower from which the nectar was collected.
There are more than 300 varietals of honey, ranging greatly in flavor and
appearance. After the honey is removed from the beehive and extracted by a
beekeeper, it is shipped off to a honey
packer, who warms the honey and removes any foreign material or residue from the beehive, often including
pollens may have been introduced
during the extraction process.
In a 2013
Attitude and Usage study \ the National Honey Board (NHB) learned that when purchasing honey, 48 percent of consumers prefer for honey to be brilliantly
clear and golden. Consumers also
responded that they are increasingly
likely to prefer honey that has pollen grains filtered out. The
fact is,
whether there is pollen in honey or not, it's still honey.
benefits of honey make it easily accessible
for consumers to use in their daily lives,"
said Bruce Boynton, CEO of the
NHB. "Honey is a whole food that has other
uses outside of the culinary realm." As a
carbohydrate, honey is a natural energy
booster throughout the day. With humectant
honey draws and retains moisture to help hydrate the skin. It is also recommended by the American Academy
of Pediatrics and the World Health
Organization as a natural cough suppressant in
children after the age of one.

Pleasure Rebel's Nastalie Bogira: "I think queerness is something that happens at a deeper level."
Pleasure Rebel, the experimental dance, performance, and video series at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, is back tonight with a new lineup of artists who are working to push experimental forms. City Pages took a moment to chat with the series' curator, Nastalie Bogira, about tonight's performance, about queerness, experimental performance, and the Twin Cities scene.
Andy Looze
How do you define queer art forms, and how does that intersect and/or conflict with queerness and with LGBT identities?
I have worked with Hiponymous on a few previous shows. Renee Copeland and Evy Muench, the creators of Hiponymous, were in last summer's Queertopia, which I co-curated with Jeffry Lusiak for Pride. They also performed work in an evening I curated for Bedlam Theatre last fall called Making Amends.
Hiponymous has an infectious energy along with wit, playfulness, and gorgeous physicality. It has been exciting to watch their work evolve over the past year. I had seen them make shorter work for these bigger group shows, and felt it was time to see them make a more developed piece.
I have also been interested in adding experimental video to the Pleasure Rebel mix for a while. I saw Daniel Luedtke's Threshold, and felt its non-linearity, mystery, and visual beauty was a great fit for the series, so I asked if I could screen the work.
You changed the title from Pleasure Rebel: New Queer Performance to Pleasure Rebel: New Performance, although you still use the word queer in the BLB description. Can you talk about that change in language? Is it just a marketing thing, or more of a deliberate programming shift?
However, I wanted to open the series up a bit more. We have performers and audience members who don't identify as queer. That isn't important to me so much as the way that we come together and experience art. I think queerness is something that happens at a deeper level. I want everything to be queer so that there's no need to explicitly label this project that way. It's there.
Daniel Luedtke
There are a number of local companies and venues that support queer artists. Madame has been an amazing place for exploration and creativity. 20% Theatre and Bedlam Theatre also provide opportunities for members of the community to perform, perhaps for the first time, or for the first time in a while.
This openness is important because it feeds our creative community with new people, perspectives, bodies, and ideas. It breaks down the wall between artist and audience. This lays groundwork for deeper creative conversations and more engaged audiences. I also think this opens people up to experiencing experimental work. I throw that term around a lot. Experimenting is play. Experimental work is pushing beyond what we've seen before or what we know we can succeed at.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cancer—a review
- Ingrid MoenAffiliated withDepartment of Biomedicine, University of Bergen Email author
- , Linda E. B. StuhrAffiliated withDepartment of Biomedicine, University of Bergen
Hypoxia is a critical hallmark of solid tumors and involves enhanced cell survival, angiogenesis, glycolytic metabolism, and metastasis. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has for centuries been used to improve or cure disorders involving hypoxia and ischemia, by enhancing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the plasma and thereby increasing O2 delivery to the tissue. Studies on HBO and cancer have up to recently focused on whether enhanced oxygen acts as a cancer promoter or not. As oxygen is believed to be required for all the major processes of wound healing, one feared that the effects of HBO would be applicable to cancer tissue as well and promote cancer growth. Furthermore, one also feared that exposing patients who had been treated for cancer, to HBO, would lead to recurrence. Nevertheless, two systematic reviews on HBO and cancer have concluded that the use of HBO in patients with malignancies is considered safe. To supplement the previous reviews, we have summarized the work performed on HBO and cancer in the period 2004–2012. Based on the present as well as previous reviews, there is no evidence indicating that HBO neither acts as a stimulator of tumor growth nor as an enhancer of recurrence. On the other hand, there is evidence that implies that HBO might have tumor-inhibitory effects in certain cancer subtypes, and we thus strongly believe that we need to expand our knowledge on the effect and the mechanisms behind tumor oxygenation.

It is one year since the talented and beautiful actress Tina Parekh got married to Vikram Hazra, a talented musician who is associated with the Art of Living's popular worldwide 'rock' satsang programme. They celebrated their first anniversary on 9th of February and it was a simple affair as their marriage. Our Tellybuzz reporter caught up with Tina to find out how she celebrated this D-Day of hers.
Tina and Vikram chose to celebrate their first anniversary in the ashram. "We went to Sri Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram in Bangalore with two of our friends who got married on the same day. We were totally three couples who attended satsang. We felt very relaxed and had nice time".
If there is one moment that you would remember from this day for the rest of your life, what would it be? "The whole day was memorable. We spent time with guruji and this, in itself is a memorable moment". First anniversaries are usually memorable and couples celebrate it as a grand affair. Then why did you choose the ashram? "We wanted to celebrate this beautiful day in a peaceful way, so we decided to go there and celebrate."
Tina gifted her husband with a Blackberry on their anniversary. So, what did you receive as a gift? "He took me for shopping which I love to do", says the blushing Tina.
We wish this couple a very Happy Anniversary and may this New Year bring them sweet surprises, loads of good luck, peace and love from their near and dear ones!!

Music is Technology (and the technology is Smarter Process)

"Music is technology." – Jim King, SVP of Business Operations, Technology & Products, BMI
Most people when they listen to a song, such as this classic by Herbie Hancock, are not aware of what goes on behind the music in order to know when the music is played, how and how many times it's played so that the artist gets paid for the performance of his or her compositions.
What's behind the music for Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) are some specific technologies that are enabling them to manage a staggering amount of music performance data – 100 billion transactions annually -- while integrating and automating complex processes from onboarding new artists to managing licensing and royalty payments. The human goals for these technologies? Make it simple for BMI client groups (e.g., affiliates) to do business with them; and free up BMI employees to focus more on their relationships with songwriters, and less on the by-products of disconnected, manual processes.
Using a combination of BPM and Operational Decision Management (ODM) technologies -- key components of Smarter Process -- BMI has automated and connected key client-facing processes; making them more instant, seamless and insightful. More than that, BMI has gained an operational advantage by being easier to do business with.
Listen to BMI SVP of Business Operations, Technology and Products and BMI CFO talk about the value of the technologies behind their music.

Fragile Freedoms in Kuwait
Byline: THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Earlier this month, Kuwait held its quadrennial parliamentary elections, an important step for one of America's closest allies in the Middle East. Yet, Kuwait's freedoms and its friendship with the United States still seem fragile. That will likely remain the case until further reforms have been made.
U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait Richard Jones recently called that nation's constitutional monarchy "the most democratic country in the Gulf," and he was almost certainly right to do so. In the run-up to the election, issues were freely debated and potential parliamentarians politicked with few restrictions. The elections resulted in an orderly, legitimate transfer of power in the parliament.
Kuwait was also essential to the American victories in Afghanistan and Iraq. According to Mr. Jones, Kuwait shut down almost half its country in the run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom. In addition, the government gave the United States use of one of its ports and built an pipeline from a refinery directly to two U.S. airbases, through which fuel freely flowed.
Unfortunately, during the parliamentary elections, progressives lost seats and Islamists gained. While it is far from clear if the strengthened Islamic bloc in Parliament will be able to cool the warm relationship that has developed between the United States and Kuwait over the course of two wars, this could have a chilling effect on the reforms that the government has tried to implement. These range from allowing international companies to invest in developing Kuwait's northern oil fields (Project Kuwait) to granting women the franchise. …

Taliban attacks on Tuesday night and Wednesday killed at least eight US soldiers, highlighting the militant group's intensifying insurgency campaign.
To many Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half brother of Afghan president, is the key to taming the Taliban in the critical city of Kandahar. But to others he's a highly controversial figure.
An Afghan soldier killed three British troops Tuesday. His motives are not known, but the incident could increase British skepticism about the Afghanistan war.
Veteran insurgents from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan have relocated to the chaotic country of Somalia in large enough numbers to spark worry inside the international community.
The Canadian Army in Kandahar meets weekly with village elders and local officials, part of the Afghanistan war strategy to build a responsive government.
The key to success in the Afghanistan war, Sen. John McCain said yesterday, is Kandahar. But despite efforts under way to improve governance, locals say they prefer the Taliban's quick justice to corrupt local courts.
General Petraeus arrived in Kabul today to take over the Afghanistan war effort. Afghans say he faces a limited window to rein in corruption, make the Karzai government more accountable, and create momentum toward peace.
Gen. David Petraeus's strategy in the Afghanistan war relies on money for reconstruction and development. But Congress says it will withhold $4 billion in Afghan aid unless rampant corruption is stopped.
The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for an attack Wednesday on a NATO airfield, which wounded one American and one Afghan soldier. In what is becoming a common tactic, a suicide car bomb was followed by a rush of Taliban militants on foot.
With June marking the deadliest month for foreign troops in the Afghanistan war, General Petraeus said he is considering relaxing strict military rules of engagement out of concern they are excessively endangering American troops.
June 2010 is now the most deadly month of the nine-year Afghanistan war, with more than 100 NATO troops killed. The sobering number comes amid growing debate over strict rules of engagement for US soldiers.
At General Petraeus's confirmation hearing Tuesday, legislators are expected to endorse the respected commander but scrutinize the patchy progress of the nine-year Afghanistan war.
As General Petraeus assumes command in Afghanistan, President Karzai is pushing Taliban negotiations, but many Afghan women and minorities resist such talks.
General Petraeus takes over a counterinsurgency strategy that has largely failed, say Afghanistan lawmakers from Taliban hot spots Marjah and Kandahar, which have been targeted for key US offensives.
The nine-hole Kabul golf course is the only one in Afghanistan. The greens are petroleum black. The fairways filled with rocks and scrub. But that doesn't stop golf aficionados who play with a ball finder and armed security guards.
While the strategy remains the same, will the deft touch of General Petraeus reorient key relationships among leaders in Afghanistan?
General McChrystal's Rolling Stone remarks, which were critical of US officials, have turned the spotlight on disputes over Afghanistan withdrawal timeline.
To highlight police corruption in Afghanistan, a US filmmaker set up a fake police checkpoint in Kabul, dressed as an Afghan policeman, and stopped cars. But he didn't take bribes from drivers. Instead, he handed out money.
The US mapped out Afghanistan's mineral deposits, worth $1 trillion, a new report said, strengthening the suspicion of many Afghans that the US intends to occupy the country and seize its resources.
Any effort by Afghanistan to improve water management could ruffle neighbors, who benefit from the country's losing two-thirds of its water due to lack of infrastructure.
US and Afghan officials estimate $1 trillion in untapped Afghanistan mineral wealth that they say bodes well for the country's economic future. But others are skeptical.
The Afghan Taliban is waging an assassination campaign against government officials in Kandahar. Their hit-and-run fight marks bid to draw NATO forces into a war of attrition.
Saffron can grow on dry land and command high prices. But it's difficult to process and sell, making it unlikely to replace poppies, the basis of Afghanistan's opium trade.
Kabul is proposing to reward villages whose Afghan Taliban fighters surrender by disbursing cash through councils that already oversee aid money. Critics say that would make the councils Taliban targets.
In a rare interview conducted by e-mail, Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar – head of the weakest of three main insurgent groups and the first to engage in peace talks with Kabul – lays out his plan to stop the fighting.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame center Braxston Cave has been lost for the rest of the season.
Coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday that Cave will have surgery this week for a ligament problem in one of his feet. The senior starter left Saturday night's game against Wake Forest in the second quarter with what was described as a mid-foot sprain.
Cave had started the last 22 games. He has a year of eligibility remaining and Kelly said he would be back next season.
He will be replaced by senior Mike Golic Jr. who has played in 12 games but will make his first start Saturday at Maryland.

In December we'll be staying mostly off site but for a few days onsite in the middle of the holiday and for that time we've already customised the magic bands.
Now our park tickets will be one annual pass and one UK ultimate 21 day ticket. Will we be able to add those to the band and therefore keep using the bands for the following year for access?? (well for the AP at least, the 21 day ticket will of course expire after 21 days)
