Protest Prompts EPA to Postpone Pesticide Approval
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has temporarily delayed registering the fumigant iodomethane after 54 scientists and physicians, including five Nobel laureates, protested its approval to director Stephen Johnson. The agency had quietly renewed efforts to approve the compound, also known as methyl iodide, as an alternative to methyl bromide, which is being phased out because it depletes the stratospheric ozone layer. The agency "will address recent questions prompted by the pending registration of iodomethane," said James Gulliford, assistant EPA administrator for pesticides and toxic substances. A year ago the EPA had to abandon efforts to approve iodomethane, which is manufactured by Tokyo-based Arysta LifeScience Corp., after a wave of protests from its own scientists, the California EPA and public health and environmental advocates.
Iodomethane is classified as a possible human carcinogen by the EPA and a known carcinogen by California, where it would be heavily used by fruit growers if approved. "[In the chemistry lab] this substance is always used in tiny amounts and with major protections. The thought of using it as a fumigant is frightening," said Roald Hoffman, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist at Cornell University. The Pesticide Action Network of North America asked the chemists to write the letter after government scientists complained anonymously that EPA higher-ups had warned them not to tell opponents about its pending approval.
Privately-held Arysta LifeScience, which wants to sell iodomethane under the trade name Midas, is currently for sale. Last month, the company announced it had received an EPA permit to use iodomethane experimentally on 1,000 acres in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
FDA Fails to Monitor Clinical Trials - OIG
The Food and Drug Administration monitored just one percent of clinical trial sites between 2001 and 2005 and almost never reviewed the performance of Institutional Review Boards, which are supposed to protect human subjects, a report released Friday by the Health and Human Services Inspector General found. Moreover, nearly three-quarters of inspections had nothing to do with protecting patients, but instead involved checking the validity of trial data long after the trial had been concluded. In the few cases involving patients that resulted in warning letters, the agency almost never conducted follow-up investigations to ensure compliance. Congress demanded the study after a November 2005 Bloomberg News investigation found several instances where clinical trials that resulted in patient deaths and injuries had not been evaluated by the agency.
The report recommended that the FDA create a database for tracking clinical trials, a registry for IRBs, and a database for tracking inspections; the report also said that the FDA should seek legislative authority for policing the colleagues and subordinates of principal investigators if they participate in the trials. FDA deputy director Janet Woodcock, in a response dated July 30, 2007, agreed the agency should establish a non-public database for clinical trials (the law signed by President Bush last week created a public registry for late-stage clinical trials, but not the early stage safety or proof-of-principle trials that have sometimes resulted in patient harm). She also said the FDA and Office of Human Research Protection had proposed an IRB registry in 2004, and were "working diligently" to complete it. But, citing "limited resources," Woodcock suggested the FDA should only target the riskiest trials for inspections.
CMS Okays Journals without Disclosure, Registry Policies
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services next month will nearly double the number of journals that oncologists can use to justify payment for the off-label use of anti-cancer drugs and procedures. At least one of the 11 cancer journals added by CMS (Bone Marrow Transplantation) doesn't require publishing authors' conflict of interest disclosure statements, and more than half do not require registration of clinical trials prior to publication of results, a Center for Science in the Public Interest survey found. CSPI and Consumers Union had asked CMS to make any journal on the list used to justify off-label use payments -including the 15 journals already on it - adhere to such policies.
In comments submitted to CMS, the American Society of Clinical Oncologists, which represents the nation's 20,000 cancer physicians, balked at adopting the requirements, even though it moved quietly in the wake of the protests to adopt both policies at its own journals. "The best way to identify those journals is through the considered opinion of the physician specialists who treat patients with cancer," said Joseph Bailes, co-chair of the government relations panel for ASCO. "In the abstract, ASCO agrees that these two criteria are among the appropriate indicia of quality in scientific or medical journals, but they are not the only significant criteria, and they should not be utilized to foreclose otherwise appropriate coverage." In two letters to CMS, ASCO had recommended 14 journals be added to the approved list. Six of the ASCO-nominated journals were rejected, including the Journal of Thoracic Oncology and Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, neither of which have conflict-of-interest disclosure policies.
NAS Reconsiders Fuel Economy Panel
The National Academy of Sciences has reopened the comment period for its panel charged with assessing technologies for improving automotive fuel economy, which previously drew protests for including seven nominees with ties to the automobile and engine manufacturing industries. Two of these members, former executive director of science for General Motors research and development Larry J. Howell, and former vice president of research and development for Garrett Engine Boosting Systems, Syed Shahed, have been replaced with John J. Moskwa, who has worked for Cummins Engine Co., General Motors Research Labs, and Ford Motor Co. The panel has also been criticized by business interests for its inclusion of David Friedman of the Union of Concerned Scientists and Robert Sawyer, former chairman of the California Air Resources Board.
Climate Skeptic Leaves U. VA
Global warming skeptic Patrick J. Michaels has left the climatologist's office at the University of Virginia, generating relief among university faculty who lamented the politicization of the office resulting from Michaels' industry funding and contrarian views on global warming. Though the state of Virginia funds the climatologist's office at the university, the state has repudiated Michael's oft-repeated claims that he was the official "state climatologist," and the governor's office made clear that Michael's views on global warming do not represent those of the state. Michaels says that state funding of the climatologist's office made his position there "untenable," and says that he relishes the ability to "speak more freely" in his work as a Senior Fellow in Environmental Studies with the libertarian Cato Institute.
Odds and Ends
The Food and Drug Administration granted waivers to five scientists with conflicts of interest to serve on the Circulatory System Devices Advisory Committee that will evaluate Medtronic's application for a new drug-eluting stent. Three of the waivers, including one for chairman Clyde Yancy of Baylor University, involved consulting relationships with Medtronic. . . Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, the incoming director of Great Britain's Medical Research Council (the equivalent of the U.S. National Institutes of Health), has assured scientists that his pledge to focus on commercializing research will not shortchange basic science financed by the agency, the London Times reports . . . A National Academy of Sciences panel will review the Bush administration's use of data in the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). An earlier NAS review of CCSP called the program delayed, inefficient, and a failure because it hadn't addressed climate change's impact on local communities.

Democrats threaten sheriffs over gun-ban testimony
Senate leadership hints at salary bribe for support.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 10, 2013 In a move reminiscent of Chicago-style mob politics, Democratic State Senate leadership threatened sheriffs with holding up or stopping legislation that affects sheriffs pay unless they change their collective position on gun control. Senate leadership is President Sen. John Morse and Majority Leader Sen. Morgan Carroll.
Sheriff Terry Maketa of El Paso County went public with the information on Saturday morning on radio station KVORs Jeff Crank Show. He said that he learned of the threat via email from the Sheriffs Association. Sheriff Maketa intends to press for an investigation for possible extortion and influencing elected officials, including possibly filing charges with the Colorado State Attorney Generals office.
About 30 of the states 62 elected sheriffs showed up in Denver on Monday to testify against the seven gun-ban bills being rushed through the state senate. The Colorado Sheriffs association has released a five-page letter describing why they oppose the proposals.
Five of the seven bills passed the second reading in the senate on Friday. The second reading on the floor of the senate allows for debate and amendment by the senate as a whole. While there was a marathon session to consider all seven bills on Friday, Republican-proposed amendments were voted down.

The competition was held at the Val A. Browning Center for the Performing Arts and included 26 other beauty queens competing for the crown. The competition was even more of a challenge for Bell since she had recently undergone ACL reconstructive surgery on her knee.
As an asthma patient herself, Kendyl works with the American Lung Association and started a program to teach schoolchildren about asthma called Blue Balloon Day. Recently, she began showing her support in the fight against breast cancer by partnering with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. She has also been abroad to Zambia, Africa and Peru on humanitarian missions. And she teaches Zumbatomic, a form of Zumba for elementary-age children. A BYU grad, she works for Republic Services as the Community Relations Manager.
We passed our questions on to Kendyl to find out more about this beauty queen, representing our state.
So, what exactly happened to your knee?
"I was snowmobiling on New Year's Day and fell off and completely tore my ACL! I refused to go to a doctor and continued teaching dance and Zumba for three months before I met with an orthopedic doctor. He didn't even have to do an MRI to know that my ACL was torn 100 percent. I waited to have surgery until I returned from a humanitarian trip to Peru. The recovery process takes six months, and I completed my rehabilitation process Oct. 15, just six days before the competition. It really just affected my physical preparation. I had people telling me how much weight I would gain post-surgery, but the pageant really helped me stay focused on eating healthy and the second I was cleared to start doing physical activity, I went crazy—a little too crazy, I gave myself tendonitis! But I eventually found a workout and diet program that allowed me to recover properly and I was really happy with how I looked and felt at the pageant."
Tell us a little about your background. What's your family like? Where did you grow up?
"I grew up and still live in Sandy, Utah. I have the best family in the world! My parents, Gary and Michele, are very supportive and loving. I have very talented siblings, and I have an older brother and two younger sisters. We are very close to each other and love hanging out together."
What were your thoughts going into the pageant this past October?
"I was really calm and very excited. I felt very confident in my preparation. I was returning a stronger competitor than the years I had competed before, and I was just hoping and praying that this was my year. I really believe that timing is everything."
How did you react when you were named Miss Utah USA?
"It was a delayed reaction, I had gotten used to not winning. I fully expected my name to not be called, and when it was, it took a moment to process. The former Miss Utah USA had to tell me to turn around so she could crown me and was very sweet to look me in the eyes and tell me, "You just won!" There are a few pictures from my crowning and the look on my face says it all."
What was the most difficult question you were asked during the pageant?
"What sets you apart from the other girls, and why should you be Miss Utah USA? It's hard to come up with an answer to that question when you are fully aware that all of the contestants are interesting, beautiful, and could do a great job as Miss Utah USA."
What do you think made you stand out among all the contestants?
"I am the only contestant that works for a garbage company and that wore six-inch high heels. Ha ha… I am not really sure, but I do know that this was the first year I competed and felt really comfortable with who I was, how I competed and knew that I was ready to be Miss Utah USA if given the opportunity. I hope to bring that mindset with me to Miss USA."
So far, what is the coolest part of being Miss Utah USA?
"I think the moment I realized that I was actually Miss Utah USA. I was at home the next day and I put my crown and sash on my niece and it hit me that I had achieved something I had worked toward for years."
Has it been stressful at all?
"I have a fulltime career as the Community Outreach Manager for Republic Services and I teach ballet, jazz, and Zumba; the only stressful aspect is time management. I want to dedicate all my time to being Miss Utah USA, and after two weeks, I am feeling like I am able to manage being a career woman and a titleholder."
Your a big supporter of breast cancer treatment and asthma prevention. Why did you pick these health issues to focus on?
"My grandmother passed away from breast cancer. It was hard to watch my beautiful, strong grandmother suffer from this illness, and I want to do all I can to prevent another woman from going through what I watched her go through. I also want to be a support to those that are going through treatment for the disease and celebrate with those who have survived. I have asthma; I know how it affects daily life. I understand the severity of this disease. My focus will be on early detection—I was 17 before I was diagnosed."
What's your number one makeup tip?
"If I only have time to put one make up item on my face, I always go for my bronzer. Invest in a good one and only put it on the places on your face where the sun would naturally hit your skin, forehead, cheeks and nose. I love looking sun kissed."
Your favorite quote is Thoreau's "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Why is it your favorite and what does it mean to you?
"It reminds me that I have control to create the life I want—that it is up to me to make my dreams come true."
What were your friends' reactions to you becoming Miss Utah USA?
"My friends have been on this very long journey with me, and they are as excited as I am. They were at the pageant tweeting and texting updates and sending positive energy my way. They introduce me to new people we meet as Miss Utah USA, and they are already saving their money to come to watch me at Miss USA."
How did your mom react?
"This is the best part of the whole pageant thus far. Right after I was crowned, we had to take pictures with all the finalists and special award winners and judges, and you can't leave the stage. Well, the only person I wanted to hug was my mother. She was supporting me the day I signed up for my first pageant. We have been through this whole process together— selecting evening gowns, buying wardrobe, editing paperwork, dieting, working out, sewing rhinestones on everything at all hours of the night—she has been my number one supporter. So, I had to sneak to the edge of the stage, yell across the auditorium to get her attention, kneel down in my gown and six inch heels and give her a hug. It was the sweetest moment; we both just hugged and cried, and felt that same excitement that I had finally achieved my goal of being a state titleholder."
What are your favorite local places to eat?
"Sapa, Settobello, Litza's Pizza, Salt Lake City Burger Company and Sweet Tooth Fairy."
What are your favorite local boutiques and shops?
"Ypsilon, Nappi Clothing, Koo De Ker and Hip and Humble."
Are there any local hangouts people can usually find you (coffee shops, clubs, etc)?
"Pioneer Park during the summer concert series, ice-skating at the Gallivan Center, shopping at the Gateway, and hot chocolate at Salt Lake Roasting Company."
Anything else?
"One thing I've learned through this whole experience is that dreams really do come true if we are willing to work hard and never give up! Also, I love making appearances and having chances to wear my crown so if anyone wants to schedule me for an event they can contact me through missutahusa.com."

|Please Note That This Set Was Cancelled And Was Never Released
Information Will Be Left Up For Reference Purposes Only
|2010 Topps Avatar 3D Trading Cards
Release Date: October 2010
Avatar was the most successful movie in history, grossing $2.7 billion worldwide at the box office. Movie goers were astounded by the 3D technology and stunning detail by renowned director James Cameron. The Topps Company is jumping aboard the Avatar money train and will produce a set of Avatar 3D trading card to be released in October 2010. The shipping of the cards will coincide with the release of Avatar on Blue-Ray.
According to Topps, the Avatar cards feature cutting edge 3-D print technology that won't require glasses to see the beauty of 3D (hmmmmmm....). The extra wide card design, 2 1/2'' x 4 11/16", will help bring the scenes from the movie to life. Topps will be the only source for authentic Avatar trading cards, so if you are interested in these I suggest you pre-order a box when they become available. The autograph and sketch cards should be a major hit with collectors.

How Should Clients React to Sexual Coercion Allegations Against Terry Richardson?
Now that another model has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against photographer Terry Richardson, his clients face a difficult question: What ethical obligations, if any, do they have to take a stand?
Over the past several years, reports have periodically flared up that Richardson has manipulated some models to engage with him in unwanted sexual contact during photo shoots at his studio. The models have described the incidents as casting couch situations that occurred when they were students or aspiring models, not established models working on set for ad campaigns or editorial shoots.
The allegations surfaced again in recent weeks after former model Charlotte Waters published a graphic account of a shoot with Richardson that spiraled out of her control. "I was completely a sex puppet," she recounted anonymously in a post on a Reddit thread. The post has since been removed, but after her story was widely circulated, Waters identified herself as the author.
She has spoken to New York City police, according to Styleite.com, but she reportedly never said "no" to Richardson's advances, and she isn't pressing any charges.
In the hot seat of bad publicity once again, Richardson issued an angry denial to all the allegations in a letter to the Huffington Post, calling them "hate filled, libelous tales." In the letter, he painted himself as the victim of a "witch hunt."
Richardson says in the letter, "I collaborated with consenting adult women who were fully aware of the nature of the work." Overlooking the disparity in power between himself and the models, he adds, "I have never used an offer of work or a threat of rebuke to coerce someone into something that they did not want to do."

Perhaps it's the bright lights of the Los Angeles convention center, or maybe it's just the skilled work of photographer Drew Phillips, but whatever the reason, the 2013 Ford Escape simply looks better here at the LA Auto Show. Our initial impressions of the more traditional CUV shape weren't totally positive, but after staring at the red show car on display here in SoCal, we're growing fonder of Ford's new compact crossover, even if it does just look like a super-sized Focus.

Keeping informed of events in Israel, the Middle
East and the world in general, is very important to Israelis. Listening
to hourly radio bulletins, viewing television news broadcasts, and
reading at least one daily newspaper are part of most Israelis' daily
Israel's commitment to freedom of the press applies to all
communications media, with only security matters subject to military
censorship. Many daily newspapers in Hebrew are published, in addition
to several in Russian, French, and two in English - the long-established
Jerusalem Post (formerly Palestine Post), and an English edition of
Ha'aretz, one of the country's leading newspapers, in cooperation with
the International Herald Tribune - as well as more than 1,000
periodicals, including magazines for special interest groups. Most major
publications have Internet editions.
Kol Israel (Voice of Israel) operates eight radio networks which offer programming in 17 languages, ranging from light entertainment and popular music to academic lectures, panel discussions, and classical music, each geared to a different audience, from children to seniors, from newcomers to veteran Israelis. Galei Tzahal and Galgalatz (stations of the Israel Defense Forces) broadcast around the clock, featuring news and music as well as programs of special interest to soldiers. Multilingual, short-wave transmissions for listeners abroad provide a constant and reliable source of information about Israel, the Middle East and Jewish affairs.
Television began in Israel in 1967; today two state-run channels offer educational, information, and entertainment programming in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. One local commercial channel, inaugurated in 1994, is divided among three private producers, with certain hours reserved daily for educational programs. Cable television, funded by monthly subscription fees, is available in most of the country, making it possible to receive dozens of American, European, Asian and Middle Eastern networks. Independent Israeli cable channels present sports, children's features, movies, and documentaries on a wide range of topics.
Kol Israel and the state-run television channel operate under the aegis of the Israeli Broadcasting Authority (IBA), which is subject to the IBA Law (1965) defining broadcasting as an independent government service, charged with giving expression to diverse perspectives. The IBA is headed by an executive committee, appointed by the government for a three-year term, and by a director-general, appointed for a five-year term. IBA broadcasting is financed by advertising on radio, public service announcements, and an annual fee paid by consumers.

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
'Kick, Push II' The song is chilled, has meaning and a message, it's relatable, and catchy as hell! That piano is dope. "Wasn't nothing back there but the blackness, life wasn't too attractive."
My favorite Lupe Fiasco song is The Instrumental because he's being so real. Everything people see on TV or hear on the radio they feel they must do. So many people follow society's standards and rarely show who they really are inside, they have no voice or say in anything. They learn to love what they see & hear & try their best to be that way, never trying to be an individual. Then he shows the side of the people they hate the fact that they do everything society asks but they can't figure out how to stop. The song is so real. "He just sits and listens to the people in the boxes, everything he see's he absorbs & adopts it, he mimics & he mocks it."
my favorite song you ever did is "could of been" because in that song you touch on so many facts that the average dude in the hood is going through i feel the same and you even point out the fact that you could of been anything you wanted but you chose music but if it wasnt for musc you woulda been ether working at a gas station beggin or slangin and thats the facts we dont got alot of choices out here and you just got lucky _stonedghst_
Streets on Fire! This is ONE of my favorites (to many to choose from), This song really tells the Story of HIV-AIDS, and it is truly sad that the world is dying of this epidemic; OR you can compare it to George Orwell's AMAZING BOOK 1984, Where people don't realize they are in this "fabricated world"... The reason I like this is because it is up to the listeners interpretation as to what exactly he is talking about, adds room for opinion. It's like the Mona Lisa of music, Why was Mona Lisa expressionless? Many have their answers but only Da Vinci knows, same with Streets on Fire, What exactly is he talking about, but only Lupe Fiasco knows.
Beautiful Lasers- It is one of my favorite tracks because it helps me whenever I put myself down or don't feel good enough for anyone. It shows me that even the person that looks the happiest suffers sorrow and depression at one point in their life. It really showed me that Lupe does have a heart and understnads and even feels what people go through everyday. This track shows me that there is another way other then killing yourself. It shows me to push past the pain and strive for my best.
My favorite Lupe Fiasco song is Hurt Me Soul. The way Lupe covers the overwhelming amount of problems we face with such beautiful lyrics and beats is absolutely amazing. His critic of hip-hop and the issues artists could speak about instead of the same old guns/bitches/bling stuff is what is needed to help remind rappers that there are more serious things to talk about.
Angels Remix off Enemy of the State. Just great lyrics so many metaphors on a great beat. The NJ/Anaheim line is awesome
Put You On Game!!! Eye opening and necessarily REAL!!! I play it for my younger cousins who love to try to be overly gangster!!
Even though it's so hard to choose I would have to say my favorite Lupe Fiasco song is "Kick Push". I love the meaning of this song and I love the way it makes me feel everytime I listen to it. Lupe is amazing :)
It's really hard to choose, but one of my favourites is Words I Never Said because he says things most people are afraid to say and exposes the truth. He also defends Islam :)
If I have to pick a song off of an album I probably would go with "Paris,Tokyo". I picked this one mainly because I like the story he told on it. The way he shows their relationship withstanding the stress of his travels was really cool. If I picked one off of his mixtapes then I would go with Pen & the Needles.
Yeah Lupe! Dude, if i had to choose my favorite song of yours, I'd say... American Terrorist. The meaningful lyrics completely kill it. Can't wait for Food and Liquor 2!!!
"The Coolest" from The Cool album is my favorite Lupe song. I just love the story it tells. Lupe is just such a great storyteller. The words just have so much truth to them and I don't think I've ever heard any other rapper with that kind of talent. Same thing with "He say, She say", which is also one of my favorites.
The entire album is amazing. However, my personal favorite is "Coming Up." It reminds me of my little brother and the challenges he and I faced after our father passed away.
The freestyle you did over Eminem's 8 mile song was superb... You should of been the owner of that track in my opinion. Now if you were to ask me my favorite song by you and you only, it would be The Cool, you checked off so many things in my mind that i thought high school was about, that it shaped the person i am today, so many fake things that people do and you opened me up to my realization with that song! Dumb it down is next.
"Hurt Me Soul" I am in love with this song only because the beat and "OUT OF THIS WORLD" lyrics combined, allow me to relate so well to not only the song lyrics, but Lupe Fiasco himself. I used to hate hip hop, yep because the woman degraded.
I have a big variety of Lupe favorites, ranging anything from Food & Liqour, to Abstract Artform and even Lupe the Gorilla. I love how hard he goes in Lupe the Gorilla, with all his lines in the first stanza saying 'do ya feel it?' That's my pump up jam. But I also love I'm beaming from Abstract Artmform. That's a song me and my girl always ride around to, and her and I both agree that it doesn't matter where her purse from or how her nails are did (as he states in this song). However, I really love Pressure with Jay-Z from Food and Liqour. All different styles of Lupe, all some of my favorites.
"Little Weapon" is my favorite Lupe Fiasco song. It is so, because it points out a sever issue and is extremely clever while doing it. Plus the beat is awesome, and I was surprised to hear that Patrick Stump produced it. It is just an amazing song.
Little weapon is my favorite lupe song hands down! I have a friend from Sierra Leone and he is always talking about what it was like there and I feel Lupe is the only artist to hit on real subjects like this by blending international situations and bringing them to front street! Keep banging them out man, someone is bound to get that you are the best lyricist out there!
Til I get there is easily my favorite song on the album. Simply put, this song makes me think about all the effort I put on a daily basis into my classes at Rutgers. The chorus is catchy, yet deep. "Yeah i got flaws, I know I'm not perfect, but all ups and downs will soon be worth it." I think that this line defines exactly how I feel about hard work and it even gives me a little extra motivation during the hard times when I forget what I'm working towards. Another reason I love this song is because each verse ends on a sick rhyme and metaphor. My favorite metaphor has to be at the end of the second verse where you say, "Instead of green jello, and maybe chicken soup, they fed me magazine covers and video shoots." This line perfectly describes our society in today's world although there is only a select few who truly see it. I also like the way you ended the song by saying, "If you are afraid or fear that you gon' change some, all you gotta do is just remember where you came from." This line reminds me to stay humble no matter how much money I may or may not make in my lifetime. I always want to remember that I am from Brooklyn and that my parents worked hard to create a better life for me and I wouldn't be where I am today without them. All in all, this song just reminds me to work hard and to try to change the less desirable aspects of the world, exemplified by the title of the song, because there is a lot of work that we as a society can do to improve our harmony of life. If I ever become successful, rest assured it will be in part because of this song, not to mention L.A.S.E.R.S as a whole, and the message it delivered to my mind's eye.
oh and forgot to mention that after concluding the show with that song, i got to meet you and it was awesomeeee, our photo came out great btw :)
The Show Goes On because it really just shows how far Lupe has come and its actually really inspiring
{sunshine} will always and forever be my favourite song by any artist... its full of clever metaphores and the lyrics and beat are both so beautiful. I wish lu would sing it to me one day ;) love always shines everytime remember 2 smile

They met at Park City Mountain Resort when their children were racing with the Park City Ski Team.
"Every winter, we would stand next to the racecourses and watch our kids go through them," Corrigan said during an interview with The Park Record. "He, himself, was also very active and a great skier."
Martin, whose livelihood was real estate, used to give Corrigan tips regarding the local markets.
"He was a great community member, and I would see his name in The Park Record all the time, because he was such an over achiever in the real estate business," Corrigan said. "When my wife Debra and I built the Ahh Sushi in Quarry Village, Hughes became a regular customer."
As time went on, Corrigan began noticing subtle differences in Martin's motor skills.
"He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and for years we watched his health slide to the point where we would have to help him into the restaurant, and for the past couple of years, he has been bound to a wheelchair," Corrigan said. "It's gotten to the point, however, where he can drive, but doesn't have a vehicle that facilitates using his wheelchair."
So, the restaurant and bar owner decided to help his friend out with a fundraiser on Wednesday, Oct. 10, to help buy Martin a car.
"Hughes recently found a Honda Fit, a vehicle that he can use with his wheelchair," Corrigan said.
The event will take place at Ahh Sushi in Quarry Village from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m.
"The format will be a sushi/cocktail party with silent auction," Corrigan said. "The auction will feature services and products that have been donated by community members. We'll have a lot of sporting goods, clothing and handmade items.
"We're still accepting donations and will still be accepting them up to the night of the event," he said.
Donations can be made by calling Corrigan (435) 640-4499.
Although Hughes' health has declined, he still has a great attitude, Corrigan said.
"Hughes is the most positive person in the world," Corrigan said. "Anytime you ask him how he's doing, it's not just 'OK,' but 'Awesome!' or 'Great!' I certainly refer to my staff and say if he can have a positive attitude, anyone can."
Corrigan says the fundraiser is another way that his establishments can serve the community.
"Our restaurants have always been about the locals and not the tourists, so we felt this would be a great opportunity to help one of our own out," Corrigan explained. "Hughes' family grew up in the community and his children are all away at college right now and he really needs some support.
"Not only will this help Hughes, but it will also help gather a lot of folks we don't see as much as we used to because we aren't standing on the side of the racecourses anymore," he said. "This is a small community, and I've noticed when someone needs a helping hand, everyone steps up to help."
Bruce and Debra Corrigan, owners of O'Shucks and Ahh Sushi, will hold a benefit party and silent auction for Hughes Martin at Ahh Sushi, 8178 Gorgoza Pines Rd., at Quarry Village, on Wednesday, Oct. 10, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance at the O'Shucks bars on Main Street and Quarry Village. Reservations can also be made by calling (435) 640-4499.

Awards recognize student innovations and affirm Ricoh's commitment to the development of sustainable and environmentally-conscious technology
West Caldwell, NJ, May 24, 2012 - Ricoh Americas Corporation today presented two high school students with the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award. Ricoh presented the award at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world's largest pre-college science competition showcasing over 1,550 of the world's leading young talent and their independent scientific research projects. The winning students each received a $12,500 scholarship from Ricoh for their impressive technical innovations in "Solar Powered Compression Air Stirling Engine" and "Far-Field Wireless Power Transmission."The two recipients of this year's Ricoh Sustainable Development Award were Cory Nicholson Owan, age 17, from Catalina Foothills High School in Tucson, AZ and Austin Kingsley Russell, age 17, from Saint Margaret's Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Cory and Austin were selected from over 1,550 finalists representing 68 different geographic regions and nearly 445 affiliated fairs.Cory designed and constructed a modified Stirling engine capable of being powered solely by sunlight. His design provides a conversion efficiency greater than most photovoltaic's. Cory's novel combination of a number of technologies resulted in a simple design with few moving parts and potentially widespread application. Austin designed and prototyped a method of transmitting power over distances without the use of wires or other infrastructure between sites. His approach promises to both eliminate the huge losses of power (up to 50%) and dramatically reduce the use of mining and manufacturing resources currently involved in power transmission."This award is representative of Ricoh's continued commitment to the environment, education and innovation," stated Robert F. Whitehouse, Director, Environmental and Recycle Business Management, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "This year, we are proud to present this award to two well-deserving students who have successfully demonstrated the importance and feasibility of environmentally conscious and sustainable technology in today's society."The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, a program of Society for Science & the Public, is the world's largest pre-college science competition, and includes more than 1,550 high school students from approximately 68 countries, regions and territories. Each year, the finalists showcase their independent research as they compete for more than $3 million in awards. The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair encourages millions of students worldwide to explore their passion for innovation and develop solutions for global challenges. Ricoh is proud to have enthusiastically supported deserving students and helped further ISEF's mission of sustainable progress through the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award. Since 2005 Ricoh has recognized 20 students and presented 15 scholarships with the help of a distinguished team of judges from academia and business. "Each year, special award organizations recognize selected young scientists during the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. We congratulate these winners.

ZF-2162: Zend_Config_Xml usage without sections bug
It appears the Zend_Config_Xml class does not differ from a SimpleXMLElement that contains children vs on that does not (eg a string) when not using sections.
For instance:
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml('ourFile.xml', null);
This would load everything under the root element without the use of sections, but because of this bug, it will set any 1st level element within the root element that is a string to an empty Zend_Config object instead of a string which is expected.
The following would be accessed like this:
echo $config->home; // Errors out because it contains an empty Zend_Config obj;
Attached is the patch
Assigning to [~rob] to initiate issue review.
Hi Geoffrey,
Can you provide an example config.xml please ?
ok attaching the file...
The bug would happen on access to home and throw_exceptions since they are 1st level elements
Resolved in svn 6906 and svn 6907

He was picked by a panelists of judges including Orlando Sentinel columnists George Diaz and yours truly (Shannon J. Owens), WFTV Channel 9. anchor Bob Opsahl, and Florida Citrus Sports executive committee members Michael Champagne, Larry Ruffin and Pat Bishop.
Caldwell is a graduate of Clemson University and has experience announcing ACC track and field events, baseball games and has filled-in as PA at a few UCF football games.

KT TUNSTALL, THE STATE ROOM, Tuesday, Oct. 8, 8 p.m., $40
Scottish songstress KT Tunstall has developed quite the reputation as an excellent live act since first bursting on the scene with her debut 2004 single "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree." Her blend of pop hooks and aggressive folk makes for winning tunes, even when the lyrical content delves into the darker side of life. That's certainly the case on her latest release, Invisible Sun//Crescent Moon, a collection she recorded in two stints. The Invisible Moon half chronicles her emotions around her father's death and mortality, while the Crescent Moon half is more wide-ranging in theme. Expect a big dose of the new material Tuesday night, as well as a decade's worth of fine songs. Brian Lopez opens the show.

Overall I like it a lot. A couple of the little screws that required the Allen wrench were almost impossible to install. One never worked and another was not secured. Hopefully the Basket stays secure without them. Aside from that, I LOVE IT. It was easy to assemble. I felt the instructions could be better. Could do with a clearer rewrite and better photos, visuals. Very sturdy, feels safe.

Filter by media type:
In addition to the performances of La Traviata, in December Ádám Fischer will also be conducting La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra in Johan Strauss' magnum opus Die Fledermaus, a comic operetta about the desire to escape the reality of everyday life and momentarily forget one's cares in the intoxication of love and seduction. This very Viennese work is traditionally staged there on New Year's Eve, but the countless melodies and light-hearted escapism give it a much wider appeal and account for its huge popularity even after 140 years. Working with director Guy Joosten, Ádám Fischer presents a Brussels version of Die Fledermaus.
Strauss' Die Fledermaus is the Viennese operetta par excellence, but is it really the cheerful work it is usually taken to be? What in your view are the main themes of this work?
Die Fledermaus can be seen as an allegory of Art in general, because it momentarily takes us away from the daily grind and carries us off in a whirl of excitement into a world of intoxication! In this work, the dream is beautiful and daily reality is bad! All the characters try and escape into a dream world as a way of making the daily reality more bearable or as a way of forgetting it. The duet between Rosalinde and Alfred at the beginning of the first finale sums this up beautifully: "Glücklich ist, wer vergisst, was doch nicht zu ändern ist!" (Happy is he who forgets what cannot be changed.) Other works from the opera repertoire also address this theme. Take, for example, the way Mozart's Così fan tutte interweaves daydream and reality… Though perhaps this work provides the very proof that the two are totally irreconcilable? A Midsummer Night's Dream also displays an interesting parallel with Die Fledermaus. In Die Fledermaus all the characters are unhappy and seek temporary solace in champagne. Neither the higher class, represented by Eisenstein and Rosalinde, nor the lower class, represented by Rosalinde's maid Adèle, are satisfied with life, but the champagne dispels tedium and allows them to brush unhappiness to one side for a while. Afterwards, life – as you can well imagine – continues as before, as melancholy and as frustrating as ever. I have always been fascinated by this bitter-sweet ending in Die Fledermaus. There is only one happy character in the work: the jailer Frosch, a typical Viennese, working-class figure! This carefree comic character has life sorted. Boredom and frustration are the downfall of all the others, except when champagne opens the door to another world, momentarily…
Die Fledermaus was premièred during what was a difficult period for rich Viennese. In 1873, immediately after the opening of the World Fair in Vienna, the stock market collapsed and hundreds of well-to-do citizens were ruined from one day to the next. Is this tragic background reflected in the opera?
Yes and no, not in the piece itself, because Strauss composed Die Fledermaus before those dramatic events took place, but of course they did play a role in the way the work was received because the effect of the situation on the public was immediate. The realization that you can suddenly lose everything heightens the sense of insecurity and brings home to us just how dangerous and how threatening the situation was. And what is more attractive than being able to escape that situation for a while?
Does this piece say anything else about us and our time?
The theme is timeless. Today life is not always a bed of roses either, so we still like to daydream. Everyone has his share of misfortune and the art is not to dwell on it. To escape reality for a moment, one needs a bit of the Fledermaus mentality: go to the ball or drink champagne [laughs].
Is it really possible to stage this piece outside Vienna? Isn't it so closely bound up with everything 'Viennese' that it can only really be fully understood there? Take, for example, the dialect spoken by Frosch.
I fear that this is the case to some extent.... When you live in Vienna and you know the Viennese dialect and the local mentality, it is difficult to imagine how it can be exported! But the music is so powerful and the piece so good that we must at least try! It has been done successfully with other equally difficult works. If you ask an Englishman if, for example, Pygmalion can be translated [Cockney English is a feature of George Bernard Shaw's play, which also inspired the musical My Fair Lady] he, too, will claim that it is impossible because the different London dialects are key. And yet – with the necessary compromises - that play has been staged all over the world. The same applies to Die Fledermaus: it can be done, albeit with a number of compromises, and I firmly believe that Guy Joosten's textual adaptation will work well.
Doesn't that apply to operetta in general? Isn't Offenbach as closely bound up with France as Gilbert & Sullivan with England or Strauss with Vienna?
Yes, by transposing it through translation or by performing it in a different culture you always lose some of the meaning. "Lost in translation", it's called! But so long as it retains enough of its qualities, it is worthwhile. I think the most important challenge for us, directors and conductors, is to find a way that proves that it can be done!
You are staging a concert version of this work. So are the emphases different from in a scenic version?
My task consists in making the music sound even more beautiful than it does in a scenic production, because much more attention is concentrated on the soloists, chorus and orchestra. Do you approach an opera differently from an operetta? No, for me there's no difference. I approach an operetta like Die Fledermaus, or a Singspiel like Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail or Die Zauberflöte, or an opera with spoken text like Beethoven's Fidelio with equal respect. For a conductor all these works are like his children and you really can't ask a father which one he loves most! When I'm conducting Die Fledermaus, I will no doubt say that it is my favourite work, but deep down in my heart I will know that I am being unjust to so many others…
Why is it that Die Fledermaus is still so popular after almost 140 years and still part of the repertoire?
First and foremost it has to do with the countless melodies, but also with escapism. There is nothing new under the sun: 140 years ago people chose illusion rather than recognize the truth, just as they do today. And then of course there is the 'secret' of all works of art: they portray fundamental human emotions and conflicts. Love, hate, jealousy, envy and joy are basic emotions which have always moved people and art has always fostered those moments…. He who portrays those crucial moments is immortal. And that's what Strauss does in Die Fledermaus!

Rated 2 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jeff Bent, but not broken. While I have enjoyed this product many times before, I have always purchased them in the store. As they are not available now in a store near me, I ordered them online. Easy. When I received the dozen candles they were well wrapped but all were bent, probably ran into some heat, in transit to the point they were unusable. The Customer Service contacts over several calls could not have been nicer though. Replaced six at no charge after the first call, but they too arrived bent. Both the Customer Service folks and I felt bad and they again tried to send another. This time with only one in the box, again nicely wrapped, it arrived unbent. Yea! I have great respect for the folks on the phone. If you are ordering them . . . my suggestion . . . have them shipped one at a time. They are great candles and would be well worth the trouble!

Reviews for Easter Meringue Cups
"Looks beautiful, but was not a whole-family (7 of us) favorite. It needs to be eaten within a couple hours as the fruit juice soaks into the meringue."
"I took these to our Fruit and Pastry Potluck at Church on Easter Sunday. They were gone so quick, people were looking for more. They were so easy to make and very attractive sitting on a slightly elevated plate."
"We love these! My grandmother always made a full size dessert like this, but these are much easier to serve."
"I made these for Easter dessert, and they were a hit! My first time trying it, and I host Easter dinner every year, and I love trying new recipes."

Loved this bra
Love this bra. I especially love that it 30 B or C. I found the C cup true to size. I love the firm but comfortable support of three hooks in the back, and wide bottom strap in front. The shoulder straps are stable and comfy. It doesn't stretch much which is what I was looking for - it fits perfectly and holds me firmly in place. I wish it had some padding in the bottom to give me a little lift. But otherwise very happy with the quality of this bra.

Love it!!
I hate reading reviews about bras when the reviewer does not state their specific body type and bra size. So, first off, I am 5'6, 130 lbs, 32DD (sometimes bigger depending on brand of bra, never smaller). I have large ones for my size so it's a constant challenge finding good, supportive bras to work out in (run, jump, stair-climb, you name it). This bra is so comfortable and is one of my favorite go-to workout bras. I own multiple fiona bras (one to work out in and one to sleep in). Yes, it is that comfortable. The only thing bad about this bra is that it provides the uni-boob look; there is no definition between your left and right girlfriends (if you care about this). I wear my fiona bras everywhere except the office.

Moving Comfort was created in 1977 by Ellen Wessel, a young woman from Arlington, VA. Wessel took up running and began training for marathons in order to quit a smoking habit. The 26-year-old soon became frustrating by the complete nonexistence of women's running clothes on the market. Along with business partner Elizabeth Goeke, Wessel co-founded Moving Comfort under the mission of designing athletic apparel specifically and exclusively for women.
Over the years, the company grew into one of the leading producers of women's workout gear. In 1996, Wessel and Goeke received the Woman of the Year in Sports Award. In 2008, the two were elected into the Sporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame.
With each of its products, Moving Comfort strives to achieve fit, function, and fabric that are of the highest quality. The result is workout apparel that won't cause pinching, chafing, or other discomfort. One of the company's featured products is the sports bra, which comes in a variety of styles, including the popular "Fiona," "Juno," and "Maia" lines. Unmatched research and development goes into perfecting the fit and stretch of Moving Comfort sports bras in order to cater to women of all sizes.
More than 30 years later, the company operates under the principle that "moving" encompasses all types of activities. This includes everything from walking and running, to skiing and rock climbing, to basketball, volleyball, tennis, and softball — and active women need clothes than can handle any type of movement. Moving Comfort understands and designs clothes for a woman's body, whatever that body was meant to do.
Today, the company remains true to its roots, boasting that every stitch they've ever sewn was intended for a woman. Moving Comfort believes if a girl or woman is comfortable when she's working out, she's more likely to keep at it. As such, the company views its well-fitting and technically superior garments as a means to encourage women to get fit and stay fit. Moving Comfort dedicates itself to their motto: A fit woman is a powerful woman.
