Academic Unhelpfully Explains Cronut Craze
Oh, that makes perfect sense.
"People have a need to add to their identity... People want to say, 'I am hip and trendy by being a part of the cronut movement.'" —Cal State San Bernardino professor Kevin Grisham, who also tells the Epoch Times he's visiting New York in October and can't wait to eat one. [Epoch Times, Earlier]

Shakira is addicted to you. She is also better-looking than you and a better dancer. These are things you'll just have to accept, arguably should have accepted already.
Sure, OK, the video for "Addicted To You" is your standard "pose in assorted fetching outfits in various picturesque locations" plotless bit, but what outfits! And what locations! The flowers in particular deserve some sort of art-direction, or color-correction, or possibly even just a gardening medal.

Suzuki has released the first images of the face-lifted Escudo, the mid-size SUV that in Europe is known as Grand Vitara. The upgrade provides for several aesthetic improvements that surely refresh the look of the car, which has been on the market now virtually unchanged for 7 years.
The most dramatic changes affected the front section as the new Grand Vitara now has a newly designed bumper fascia, a different grille and side mirrors with integrated indicators. The Suzuki designers also got rid of the spare tire at the back and changed the position of the number plate, which has been raised by a few inches.
The cabin received a relatively less impactful upgrades in the form of new fabrics and more refined materials. Japanese buyers can also order the special X-Adventure variant, featuring the exclusive Bison Brown Pearl Metallic exterior color, 18-inch alloy wheels, chrome front grille, tinted windows, rear spoilers and a number of cool accessories offered as standard such as sunroof and red accents for seats, steering wheel and gear shift lever.

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE ; 15 February 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18400215-TC-AC-01; CL 12: 46-47
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea, 15 feby / 1840—
My dear Alick,
Many thanks for your Letter1 which came to me a few minutes ago. Many thanks also for the Tobacco, which I am right glad to hear you have got safely to hand. I have written this day to Alick Welsh2 asking what address I must have put upon it, that it may get into his hands immediately; he will then, by railway, be able to let me have it in another day. So soon as he answers, I will write you notice: meanwhile have you the due Permit &c all in order? If so you can wrap up the Tobacco in any solid way; and have it standing ready for being addressed and sent off. I suppose grey paper in sufficient quantity be the readiest wrappage? I have often wished I had some kind of monstrous old cannister, with a good tight lid, to keep the weed in here; it is so apt to get too dry otherwise. Do not forget the Permit!
Your news from Scotsbrig, from your own hearth, and from Gill are very welcome to us. I wish the sickness would leave your poor little ones altogether; you have had rather a bad winter that way. Jamie was to settle what cash would still be needed for the Gill business, once for all; and then it will be sent. I am very glad indeed to hear you talk so of the Farm; they will surely be much better in it than as they were. How is Hanning prospering at Kirtlebridge? I sent a line to Jenny;—no answer yet.
This is the last news from Jack; probably identical with what our Mother has got for herself: I send it nevertheless. One can make little out from it. I dare say the situation is wearisome; that is just the labour attached to it. I could almost wish it might prove too wearisome, if that would drive our Doctor into settling somewhere! Till then, he will never feel himself so comfortable as he ought to be. It must be admitted however that the wages are good! The whole set of us put together will hardly earn as much money otherwise!— Money is something; but, alas, it is not all.—
Jane suffers always from such wretched weather as we now have. Nothing can excel it for unconstancy. She keeps free of coughing however; never goes deeper than the old business of headache,—which is bad enough, but nothing like the worst! I deal greatly in Proofsheets: we are not yet third-part thro it, or much more. I sometimes, indeed almost daily, ask with a kind of shudder: Shall I lecture? And on what shall I lecture? No answer yet!— I will write again in a day or two.— Good be with you, and with all, my dear Brother!
T. Carlyle
[JWC's postscript]
He has forgot my kind regards the oblivious individual
god prosper you all

Winter is coming to Storybrooke. As seen in the clip from the Season Three finale from "Once Upon A Time" that had everyone talking - Elsa has indeed come to Storybrooke. Today the news broke as to who will play the Ice Queen in Season Four of "Once Upon A Time." Australian actress Georgina Haig will "Let It Go" when she joins previously announced cast members Scott Michael Foster as Kristoff and Elizabeth Lail as Anna. Haig is currently playing Officer Lee Ann Marcus on CBS's "Reckless," but is best know as Etta, the daughter of Peter and Olivia, on Fringe.
The network has confirmed that Elsa's story will pick up after the events of the Disney movie and Elsa will claim her role as Ice Queen. Adam Horowitz, "Once Upon A Time" co-creator, told E! News that they will not be repeating the movie, "But what we are going to do, we're not ready to tell you. But what we can say is we're very aware of what we think makes this character from Frozen so special and we want to honor that and make sure that what we do is in the universe of everyone fell in love with this past year."
"Frozen" hit theaters last November and has now become the highest-grossing animated film of all time and the fifth highest-grossing movie ever.
Queen Elsa and Princess Anna will join other Disney favorites Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and the Wicked Witch of the West (Rebecca Mader), just to name a few, in ABC's twisted fairy tale.
ABC's "Once Upon A Time" will return this Fall on Sunday night at 8:00 p.m.

G&M's has been voted best crab cake several times and it certainly deserves it. The cakes are huge, contain very little filler, and are seasoned just enough to showcase the crab taste. The restaurant is eat in, with a subshop next door where you can get the crabcakes to go. There is a bar, and it is a great place to catch an O's or Ravens game.

Find a Windstone Dealer
For over twenty years Windstone has marketed primarily through fine "brick and mortar" independent retailers throughout the United States and Canada. We have not only made a good living from our sales, but we have enjoyed the satisfaction of knowing Windstone solidly supports both independent enterprise and the qualities of "main street" commerce that lend texture, diversity, and wholeness of community to our cities.
Please try to buy locally from a real store before you order from an online store. As we are forced by the current dynamics of the economy and marketplace to begin selling select pieces direct to collectors and while our Limited Production pieces will only be available direct from us, our "brick and mortar" dealers should be given preference before you order any of the general Windstone collectibles online. All of our dealers enjoy same day shipping from us and, should they be out of stock, can provide you with anything you wish to order within a few days.

It's cool if gardening isn't your thing. You can still stash a few gnomes around the house for good luck. The four-inch Beeswax Gnome Candles ($16 each) will keep well on your mantel, bookshelf, or tabletop. At least, until you light the tips of their pointy little hats. Then they'll melt into blobs of misshapen gnome. (You may want to lock them out of your bedroom at night lest they decide to come for you.)

If you think the country is lying, you could check the IEA instead. They do their own estimates.
Oil Market ReportSaudi Arabian crude supplies in January were unchanged at 9.85 mb/d. Saudi Arabia has increased output by 400 kb/d since last October, with some of the extra volumes going to China.
In this case, the Jodi and IEA data are about the same. They are both reporting Saudi crude oil production at around 9.8-9.9 mb/d. They don't have data for Feb yet though. But we should not have to wait too long for the official data to come out.

Last week, in anticipation of Super Bowl XLVIII, the 50 Yard Lounge experience took place at One Penn Plaza. The 5-day event brought together celebrity chefs, football personalities, and many of the best culinary hotspots. Football personalities in attendance included Joe Theismann, Jets owner Woody Johnson, Doug Flutie, Chris Carter, and many others. Marc Forgione, Pat LaFrieda, Michael White, and Max Brenner, were among the many culinary experts in attendance.
Here are some highlights from the event. Last Wednesday, guests enjoyed Pastrami Short Ribs from Marc Forgione, LaFrieda Original Blend 5 oz. Burgers from Pat LaFrieda, and Kobe Beef Hot Dogs from the culinary experts on Celebrity Cruises. They also enjoyed live performances, a meet and greet with Woody Johnson, and a full open bar. On Saturday, guests were treated to Pastrami on Rye with Mustard sandwiches from Katz's Deli and Pat LaFrieda Filet Mignon Steak Sandwiches. They also enjoyed a special how-to demonstration by Doug as well as a live performance by his band. What a great mix of football and culinary delights!

MORE: But you found that the procedure was not FDA approved.
J.S.: In America, stem cell therapy for human patients was, and still is, restricted by the FDA. Dogs can receive more sophisticated treatments than their people can. In Europe and elsewhere there are fewer restrictions.
MORE: So what did you do?
J.S.: I found a clinical trial in Madrid. I emailed the doctor in charge and he said that the trial was over, but offered to share his papers with me and talk to any doctor I could find to do this.
There was a facility in Costa Rica that did stem-cell regeneration for humans, but it ended up closing. Then I found a place in Panama, but because no Panamanian GI surgeon had ever done stem-cell regeneration for my specific condition, the local doctors couldn't be convinced that it wasn't experimental and wouldn't perform it. Another place in Tijuana, Mexico, didn't want to do it either. At the last minute I heard about two doctors who founded the California Stem Cell Treatment Center. They were doing a procedure almost exactly the same as the one Sam had. These doctors made the treatment FDA compliant by doing what is called a closed surgical procedure, meaning they put the cells back into you the same day they are extracted, without culturing them or storing them.
MORE: On January 9, 2013, you became the first American be treated with her own stem cells for inflammatory bowel disease. What was the outcome?
J.S.: As far as I'm concerned, I'm cured. I look and feel my best ever. I got an intravenous injection of the cells, and also a shot directly into the surgical incision that was made in 1999, with the hope that both would help the wound close up. I felt better right after the injections. I am a journalist, so I knew I had to be skeptical, but then I remembered my dog. I haven't had a flare-up since the procedure. People stop me on the street and say I look radiant.
MORE: Was there any downside to the procedure?
J.S.: The only bad part is that because we couldn't culture and save my stem cells, if I have a relapse, I'll have to undergo the expensive procedure again. My hope is that this book motivates people to demand that the FDA change their policies on stem cell procedures.
MORE: And Sam?
J.S.: Sam lived until he was 17 years old—the average lifespan for a big dog is 10-13 years. My other dog, Sheba, also got the procedure for arthritis and she lived to 16.
Medicine Dog (Lyons Press; $17) is out now.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCya1yiFFP4[/youtube]I heard this song on the radio during a recent train journey and was impressed enough to note down the singer (whose name the presenter mentioned, thankfully). I looked it up (thank you, YouTube!) and like it more and more.
For one thing, many ballads appeal to me. And with this song, I also appreciate the lyrics. I was in the position described in the song once: A former boyfriend had found love again and founded a family, while I was still single. So I can really relate to the singer's ambivalent attitude. (The person who was happiest for me when I met my husband was that former boyfriend, by the way.)
Are there songs that touch a certain something in you because you have been there? Which are they?

USF XC Starts Season Friday in Sioux Falls
The team returned to campus August 20 and has been training with first-year head coach Grant Watley ever since. After 10 days of intense training, he believes his group is ready to compete. "It's been a tough week and a half. We've put some good work in and more than anything, I think our kids are excited to get out and race."
The men's team returns eight members from a year ago including four of their top-five runners in Billy Brockmueller (26:14), Bobby Brockmueller (23:58), Matthew Horan (25:07) and Blake Stevenson (26:25). The 2011 unit won the Herb Blakely Invitational and posted three top-five finishes.
On the women's side, the Cougars return five runners from last season, including a trio of talent in Sierra Harder, Shelbie Pettie and Becca Steadman, who claimed the team's lowest marks in 2011. The women's squad also recorded three top-five team finishes and an outright victory at the Herb Blakely Invitational.
USF ran well against some stiff competition in last year's Twilight. Pettie led the women's squad completing the three mile course in a time of 17 minutes, 55.74 seconds to place 13th, while Steadman clocked an 18:34.54 for 26th. Harder (18:05.94) had a strong race, placing 17th in the women's race, however she will be sidelined for Friday's race as she recovers from a minor injury.
Running unattached, Bobby Brockmueller (19:00.35), Horan (19:45.67) and Billy Brockmueller (19:50.67) each finished in the top 14 of the men's four mile race, while Jared Noyes (19:56.10) took 17th. Brockmueller is also expected to sit out as he too continues to recover from an injury suffered this summer. Horan status for Friday is TBD.
Coach Watley is also encouraged by the strong starts of newcomers Ethan Tabbert (Roosevelt) and Tessa Stoltenburg (Watertown). "I've been extremely impressed with the attitude and work ethic of our freshmen," added Watley.
"This is a great opportunity to gauge where we are as a team and set a solid foundation for the season."

Server Migration
Recently we had a root security issue that was cleared up with the help of Monte and the wonderful team at LW.
Because this issue we were highly concerned about the future security of a few main machines and were forced to re-image and re-format.
During this time we placed temporary servers so that your service would not be interrupted, although the web services slowed it was still active and online.
Unfortunately email servers took a turn for the worse and while recieving emails were fine, sending emails proved to cause issues on the users host machine while using a client.
This problem has been fixed naturaly now that the server re-up is complete but were posting here as a notice.
Thanks for your continued business with our growing company and we will keep you posted!

Be sure to check TexasTech.TV later this evening for complete footage and behind-the-scenes exclusives of the Red Raiders at Big 12 Media Days.
Texas Tech linebacker Kenny Williams gets down to the tough questions on Big 12 Media Day with wide receiver Bradley Marquez.
Sam Eguavoen spoke for over an hour with reporters from across the nation Monday afternoon in what was the final interview opportunity with the Red Raiders.
1:30 p.m. - BREAKOUT SESSIONS
Members of the media were able to meet with the Red Raiders as well as Coach Kingsbury in breakout sessions that lasted over an hour in the main interview room at the Omni Hotel.
It was the final opportunity for members of the media to meet with the Red Raiders before end of the first day of Big 12 Media Days.
12 p.m. - KINGSBURY PRESS CONFERENCE
Kliff Kingsbury concluded the first day of Big 12 Media Days with 15 minutes at the podium Monday in front of the national print media. The interview, which will be on Texas Tech TV later this afternoon, aired live on FOX Sports Southwest.
Kingsbury spoke about numerous subjects during the session, ranging from Texas Tech's momentum following its Holiday Bowl victory a year ago to the maturity of sophomore quarterback Davis Webb. He also hit on topics like the strength of the Big 12 and the Red Raider defense.
The press conference was a much-easier feel for Kingsbury, who pointed out that entering year No. 2 was a more comfortable feeling for him and his staff.
"I think year two for our entire staff, our entire program, there's a comfort level," Kingsbury said. "And having a guy who is an established leader (Davis Webb) and an established player at quarterback position in our system really helps and has helped the entire off-season. So we're excited about him. We're excited about our team, and we'll see how it shakes out."
Another popular subject throughout the day has been Kenny Williams and his switch to the defensive side of the ball. Kingsbury said during the press conference that Williams will play primarily on defense but still be used in certain situations on offense and special teams.
"Kenny asked if he could do it," Kingsbury said. "He saw there was a need. He's a very selfless player, team player, and he wanted to do it. So we were for it. He's one of our best football players on our team and we wanted to find a way to get him on the field as much as possible."
The Red Raiders made their way to a quick interview with XM Radio before taking lunch. The day concludes with break-out sessions with Kingsbury and all three players.
Kliff Kingsbury met with national television outlets for most of the morning on Monday. The second-year head coach will meet with the print media here shortly at 12 p.m. That interview will be broadcast live on FOX Sports Southwest.
9:30 a.m.-11 a.m. - NATIONAL TV INTERVIEWS
The Red Raiders met with various members of the national media throughout the morning with interviews ranging from Campus Insiders, FOX Sports 1, ESPN, ESPNU, CBS Sports and FOX Sports.
The various interviews were a good time for television broadcasters and producers to meet the Red Raiders in preparation for the 2014 games. Each network also shot footage that will air on televised games later this year.
Kingsbury will meet with the print media here shortly. That interview will begin at 12 p.m. and be broadcast live on FOX Sports Southwest.
Kliff Kingsbury opened Big 12 Media Days by talking with Double T 104'3 "The Bottom Line" hosted by Casey Cowan and Jamie Lent. It was the first of several interviews on the day for Kingsbury.
9 a.m. - RADIO ROW
Big 12 Media Days officially began around 9 a.m. as head coach Kliff Kingsbury began interviews around Radio Row. Kingsbury, attending his second Big 12 Media Days as Texas Tech's head coach, spoke first with Double T 104.3's "The Bottom Line" hosted by Casey Cowan and Jamie Lent.
Kingsbury will also meet with FOX Sports, ESPN, CBS Sports among others before taking the Big 12 podium at 12 p.m. this afternoon. Kingsbury will be the final Big 12 head coach to take the podium on the event's opening day.
Kenny Williams, Bradley Marquez and Sam Eguavoen, seen here with the Texas Tech cheerleaders, will represent the Red Raiders today at Big 12 Media Days in Dallas.
8:30 a.m. - RED RAIDERS ARRIVE AT MEDIA DAYS
The Red Raiders made their entrance into Big 12 Media Days this morning in what will be a packed day full of interviews with both local and national outlets.
Texas Tech is being represented this year by seniors Sam Eguavoen, Bradley Marquez and Kenny Williams, who is the only player in the group to previously attend Big 12 Media Days.
FOX Sports Southwest is covering the event live throughout the day beginning at 9 a.m.
Kliff Kingsbury will make his appearance at the Big 12 Media Days podium at 12 p.m. Monday afternoon. Both days of the Big 12 Media Days will be broadcast live on FOX Sports Southwest.
July 20, 2014
DALLAS, Texas - Texas Tech will be featured in the first day of the Big 12 Media Days scheduled to begin Monday morning at the Omni Hotel in Dallas.

A Chinese mitten crab caught in a fyke net by APEM field scientists.
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is an invasive non-native species first recorded in the UK in the 1930's and is well established in several river systems throughout the UK, primarily on the east coast. As with many other non-native species, Chinese mitten crabs have the potential to impact negatively upon native plants and animals to the extent that their threat is considered severe enough to warrant their inclusion on the IUCN 100 of the world's worst alien species list. Given its ability both to disperse extensively in coastal waters during its marine phase, and migrate large distances up river systems and travel over land, further expansion of its range in the UK is likely.
APEM, together with the Natural History Museum London, have recently undertaken a study on behalf of Natural England to assess the current status and distribution of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) in the Nene Washes and Ouse Washes and to investigate the threat they pose to the internationally protected spined loach populations living there. This project also involved designing a detailed monitoring programme which would enable the early detection of Chinese mitten crabs as they penetrate further up the associated water courses. It is anticipated that the study will inform national efforts to further understand, monitor and control this invasive species.

What statement does your jewelry make? Statement jewelry is very fashionable and frequently worn. Generally it refers to a multi-strand beaded or faux stone necklace, perhaps a bib style or heavy braided or twisted piece. Wearing statement pieces tells others that you enjoy fashion, like being on-trend, and take pride in your appearance.
Other jewelry, while not referred to as statement pieces, tell a great deal about you. Consider diamonds. Diamond earrings, cubic Zirconia or faux diamond earrings are difficult to tell apart from the real thing. Often, only close inspection by an experiences jeweler can determine carat, cut and clarity.
On a woman known to be a single working mother, it's probably safe to assume that they are not the real thing. Yet, even the rich and famous often keep their real diamonds in safes, choosing to wear inexpensive copies for parties and public appearances. A hundred thousand dollar solitaire, a fifteen dollar pendant, and a pair of one dollar studs are generally difficult to tell apart.
The video will show you how to tell real diamonds from fake.
Any jewelry that shows elastic or plastic is very inexpensive. A popular bracelet trend for teens is made by joining tiny rubber bands. While cute and bright, it tells everyone that you probably spent more time connecting the bands than you did dollars.
Any jewelry using string in place of chain link is surely not very expensive. String bracelets and necklaces are popular, easy to afford, and often colorful and on-trend. They can be spotted in most department stores for less than twenty dollars.
Elasticized beaded bracelets are rarely expensive. Trendy, bright and popular, they are often the perfect accessory for your outfit, but generally cost less than twenty dollars or so.
Some plastic jewelry is very well crafted, while other pieces are not. If you are wearing faux stone necklaces and bracelets, others will almost surely notice that it is not real. Plastic lacks the weight, luster and refracting quality of real stone.
Whenever the term 'faux' is used, it's surely not real. Faux diamonds are often cubic Zirconis or glass, faux pearls are probably plastic, and faux gems colored glass. Faux jewelry can be worn with style and flair. The better quality pieces may even deceive others and appear real, especially if they are relatively small and unobtrusive pieces.
Where does this information leave the thrifty fashion shopper? It makes us more aware of what our jewelry is telling others. It gives us new ideas to save on stylish pieces that will not appear tacky and tasteless. It makes us confident wearing an engraved flowers heart locket purchased for $9.99 at Walmart.
ximize your style and minimize your spending~

Many people have at some point injured themselves seriously enough to necessitate a break from their favorite activities. If the injury was painful enough adequate healing time was surely taken since anything else would have created more and perhaps irreversible damage. But with less dire injuries ene would be more prone to prematurely resume the activity which caused the injury. This is how one can quickly move from a condition that may pass relatively quickly to one that won't. Even if enough has passed since the injury occurred, one must still be careful. Regardless of how effective the physical therapy or how long the recuperation time, there will still be a slight limitation in the range of motion or ability at that particular area.
This is especially true of Yoga related injuries. An activity that focuses so much on the balance between flexibility and power may give one a feeling of being somehow "above it". After all, Yoga is supposed to be good for everything right? Right! However… a torn hamstring is a torn hamstring. It will always be just slightly tighter and more likely to tear again; it won't know whether you're doing a forward bend or an axe kick.
We know better than to push when near the time of injury; acute pain will quickly show us that we're not there yet. However, as time passes and we really start to miss the activity, we begin to rationalize: it's been long enough, I haven't felt any pain, I haven't done that particular move, etc. These signs may indeed signal readiness to resume action, but one must still ensure that that this new found sense of security is not false.
For example, a spine injury caused by incorrect alignment and force will likely continue to give pain when attempting to do the same movement. Anyone with a hurt back due to excessive twisting will know that either the range of motion must be greatly reduced or omitted all together. For example, a Bound Reverse Triangle will no longer be part of a repertoire for someone with this type of injury.
Special care must be taken to avoid re-injury. One must remember that it was the ignoring of the warning signs that caused the injury in the first place. Making the same mistake twice is considerably worse than only making it once. Not only does it continue to physically weaken the same area, but it may also be symptomatic of an unwillingness to learn. Hurt myself once: "Oops. Shouldn't have done that!" Hurt myself twice doing the same thing … When it comes to avoid injury and re-injury remember that you want to be able to keep doing your favorite activity into your old age. Right?

CIA acknowledges Area 51 — but not UFOs or aliens
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The CIA is acknowledging in the clearest terms yet the existence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War test site that has been the subject of elaborate conspiracy theories about aliens and flying saucers for decades. The recently declassified documents have set Area 51 buffs abuzz, though there's no mention of UFO crashes, black-eyed extraterrestrials or staged moon landings.
Didn't need tweaked? The SR-71 underwent years of testing before the public even knew it existed. It wasn't reverse engineered alien technology. It was a team of aviation engineers toiling away at Lockheed. Check out Ben Rich's book "Skunk Works" for a firsthand account of the R&D process involved in developing stealth technology.

With the annual head coaching derby under way, it is no surprise that New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has popped up as a candidate. Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway was no sooner installed as a Broncos executive than he announced Williams was one of the candidates Denver hopes to interview for its coaching vacancy.
NFL rules, however, limit Williams' availability. Assistant coaches on staffs involved in the postseason are only permitted to speak with other teams during bye weeks.
The Broncos have not requested an interview with Williams, according to Payton, but they would not do so until the Saints have at least a week off. As a wild-card team, New Orleans will not have such a week until the stretch between the NFC championship and Super Bowl XLV, should the Saints advance that far.
There are at least six unfilled head coaching jobs in the NFL -- Denver, Oakland, Carolina, Dallas, Cleveland and San Francisco. Jason Garrett is widely believed to be the favorite for the Cowboys spot, but the others are wide open. Other jobs, such as Miami or Tennessee, are possibly coming open.
Williams, a longtime and successful defensive coordinator, was 17-31 as head coach at Buffalo from 2001 to 2003.

Mat 23, 2014 22 year old Elliot Rodger, the son of Peter Rodger, an assistant director of 'The Hunger Games' film series, died in his BMW by a gunshot to the head, but not before leaving a vast digital trail on his YouTube channel as an eerie foretelling of the carnage that was soon to begin in Isla Vista, Calif, near the University of California Santa Barbara Campus.
Reports say that after banging on the door of a sorority house and being denied entry, that Elliot Rodger went on a killing rampage, that ended with the deaths of seven individuals (including himself) and the wounding of thirteen others. Three of those killed were apparently stabbed repeatedly at the apartment where Rodger was living, two were women shot outside of a sorority house and the other was identified by his father as 20-year-old Christopher Martinez. And Elliot himself.
Hours after the rampage a very disturbing video entitled, "Elliot Rodger's retribution" surfaced. Detectives say this video is clear sign of "premeditated mass murder". They also point to a 140-page autobiographical manifesto that was sent to police as further proof. You can find this misogynistic tirade published in the LA Times,where at one point he writes:
I cannot kill every single female on earth, but I can deliver a devastating blow that will shake all of them to the core of their wicked hearts. I will attack the very girls who represent everything I hate in the female gender: The hottest sorority of UCSB.
According to Alan Shifman, attorney for Elliot's father, Elliot was being treated by multiple therapists and had been diagnosed as "a high functioning patient with Asperger Syndrome. Shifman also said that Elliot's family had contacted police weeks ago after they became aware of the YouTube videos in which Elliot touched on "suicide" and "killing people". You have to wonder if the police even listened to the parents and watched the videos, because at that time the police who interviewed Elliot said that they found him to be a "perfectly polite, kind and wonderful human,"
However, if the time had been taken to seriously investigate what the parent had told them, they might have found Elliot's Facbook page which is a testament to the obsession he had with himself and his opulent lifestyle. The page is filled with narcissistic selfies, but there are no friends to be found. If they had watched the social media videos that had shocked Elliot's family enough that they were compelled to go to the police, there would have been little doubt that his feelings of loneliness, rejection, and the desire for vengeance was taking a toll on his mental mental health.
Put together, Elliot's narcissistic presence on Facebook, his writings in online forums and his deadly seriousness and lack of emotion on his YouTube videos tell a sad story of entitlement and privilege amid a young man's psychological and mental turmoil that was about to come to a very tragic end.
Richard Martinez, the father of 20 year old victim Christopher Martinez, spoke to reporters on Saturday.
Our family has a message for every parent out there: You don't think it'll happen to your child until it does," Martinez said. "Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris' right to live?
Martinez then screamed: "When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, stop this madness, we don't have to live like this? Too many have died. We should say to ourselves — not one more.
Of course the killer, Elliot Rodger, is to blame. But, who can say why he did this terrible act? Perhaps a rare combination of circumstances over his short life time all came together to create a "perfect storm" that resulted in this tragic event.
In a better world, this would not have happened. In a better world the therapists treating this narcissistic privileged young man who felt unloved and rejected would have been able to change his deranged mind. In a better world the police would have taken the parents initial concerns more seriously. And... In better world Elliot would never have been able to get the gun that allowed him to murder innocent people.

Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus - Kidney Cell Gene Expression (CGBA-KCGE) - 05.13.15
This investigation examined how microgravity alters the genes controlling the production of proteins in association with kidney cells; using commercial scientific hardware that has supported many biological laboratory investigations adapted to operate in space and which require temperature controls from 4°C to 37°C. This research will allow the manipulation of cells to produce specific tissues for use as models in the development of new medicines to treat kidney disorders. This investigation was part of a suite of three experiments that used the CGBA hardware. Science Results for Everyone
This investigation examined effects of spaceflight on genes controlling protein production in kidney cells. Previous work showed alterations in kidney cell genes in microgravity and demonstrated that cells in space form 3-dimensional structures similar to those found in organs (and extremely difficult to duplicate on Earth). Ultimately, this research could lead to tissue models for developing new medicines. Post-flight analysis indicated that, although the bioprocessing hardware operated properly, unexpected drifts above planned temperatures occurred in two of seven containers. Ground tests were completed for comparison to in-flight samples, but final data analysis has not yet been released.

CGBA-KCGE has previously flown on STS-90.
Experiment Description
Research Overview
- Cellular models are needed in the development of new medicines to treat various kidney diseases. Previous research has shown that renal (kidney) cells grown in microgravity produce three-dimensional structures that are similar to how tissues are formed in the human body on Earth.
- CGBA-KCGE examined the effects of spaceflight on genes that control protein production in kidney cells.
- Ultimately, this research will allow the manipulation of cells to produce specific tissues for use as models in the development of new medicines to treat kidney disorders.
Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus - Kidney Cell Gene Expression (CGBA-KCGE) was one of three experiments that used the CGBA hardware. CGBA-KCGE was a follow up to a Neurolab investigation that took place during STS-90 that examined the effects of microgravity on kidney (renal) cells. What was discovered from the STS-90 investigation, was that microgravity caused alterations in the kidney cell genes and that the cells, when grown in microgravity, can join together in 3-dimensional structures that are similar to what are found in organs. These structures are extremely difficult to duplicate on Earth.
The primary objective of CGBA-KCGE was to assess how microgravity alters the genes that control protein production in kidney cells. The investigator hoped to be able to manipulate the kidney cells to produce specific tissues that can be used in models when developing medicines or in humans. The kidney cell samples were drawn into the test tubes containing a preservative, approximately two hours after reaching orbit. Once the samples were drawn, a messenger RNA (mRNA) preservative was added to the cell cultures for postflight analysis.
The Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA) provided automated processing for biological experiments. The CGBA contained eight containers that housed the experiments. Each container is programmable and temperature controlled. For this experiment, the CGBA hardware included the isothermal containment module (ICM v.3) and one generic bioprocessing apparatus (GBA). The remaining seven slots were used for the Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus- Synaptogenesis in Microgravity (CGBA-SM) experiment.
The ICM v.3 provides highly-accurate temperature control between 4°C and 37°C. Eight individually-controlled temperature areas were available inside and the surrounding container controlled temperature gradients. The ICM v.3 is fully equipped with data, video, and telemetry electronics to allow telescience remote operation. ICM v. 3 was equipped with a number of bioprocessing inserts, including the GBA. The GBA was a self contained mixing and heating module for processing biological fluid samples in triple-contained glass vials.^ back to top
Space Applications
Observing the effects that microgravity has on cellular structures, gives insight into how the human body reacts at the cellular level. These changes may lead to the development of countermeasures that would lower the human risk of long duration spaceflight.
Earth Applications
Manipulating cells samples to create tissues that are similar in structure to that of those found in the human body can be used in many types of research applications. These samples can be used for developing new medications to treat various diseases.
Operational Requirements
CGBA-KCGE used one GBA , housed inside a Gas Exchange - Group Activation Pack (GAP) in the CGBA. The GBA held the cell samples and the test tubes that preserved them until the samples could be analyzed by the ground team.
Operational Protocols
The kidney cell samples were drawn into the test tubes containing a preservative, approximately two hours after reaching orbit. Once the samples were drawn, a messenger RNA (mRNA) preservative was added to the cell cultures for postflight analysis. The temperature was decreased to 8°C to stabilize the sample for the remainder of the mission. The samples were returned to the ground team for analysis.
Results/More Information
Preliminary results indicated that that an average of 60% of the kidney cell samples from CGBA-KCGE were drawn into the Vacutainers. Although the sample size was smaller, the samples were sufficient for postflight analysis. For the synaptogenesis experiment with fruit flies, preliminary results indicated that although the CGBA hardware operated successfully, there were unexpected temperature drifts above the planned temperature in two of the seven containers. While ground tests were completed for comparison to the in-flight samples, final data analysis has not been released. (Evans et al. 2009)^ back to top

Future Fox stars rise through Fall Basketball League
- Details
- Last Updated on Saturday, 10 November 2012 11:19
- Published on Wednesday, 31 October 2012 17:12
- Hits: 2151
King George High School boys' varsity head basketball coach Josh Luzier is determined to get back to the State Championship.
Two years ago, the Foxes were literally on cloud nine. They challenged James Monroe for the district championship, and pulled a rabbit out of their hat to defeat Tabb for the Regional Championship (59-49). In the end, the Foxes lost to future seasonal rival Liberty-Bealton, in triple overtime (97-90).
In light of two years of success making the play-off, Luzier is not satisfied with the Foxes' progress.
He wants to be more than just another contender; he is determined to make the Foxes champions, and the best way to accomplish his dream is off-season basketball against tough area competition.
Most recently, during fall basketball competition, Luzier took a rag-tag feisty gang of young players to a championship. The interesting part of the equation was that the Foxes lost all 10 regular season games, but somehow regained their familiar swagger to win the Fall Basketball Tournament Championship.
After inserting veteran players who came into the fall season late, the team suddenly began to put together a full game. Instead of losing by 10-20 points, the team challenged teams to the final seconds of the game. "The improvement that I started to see was ridiculous, Luzier said. "I've had coach Eric Davis (Riverbend) and Chancellor coaches ask me what have you guys been doing the past two weeks." It was evident that the team had bought into Luzier's system to begin playing with a team philosophy instead focusing on individual goals.
With ten competitive games under his belt, the third year head coach is optimistic about the upcoming season and the goals he aspires to reach. "It's refreshing to start the season early, and not have to wait until November to begin the process of establishing a team, like have in the past years," Luzier said.
The fall basketball league consists of teams from Riverbend, Fredericksburg Christian School, Chancellor and KGHS. From August to October, teams met at Riverbend to play in a round-robin format.
The fall league allows young basketball players with the likes of 2011 junior varsity stars Nana Gyan and De'Quan Whiting an opportunity to showcase their skills in a varsity setting. "I've been working with varsity-caliber players who have aspirations of making the team," Luzier said. In recent years the turnout for open gym was a meager 12 players; however, the recent interest has risen to over 30 players.
Along with repurposing his team's competition towards larger triple-A teams, Luzier hopes to start a summer basketball league and take players to basketball clinics. The path towards success begins with Luzier's current chartered course for achievement.

The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has a budget of 1.9 Million dollars annually and is currently spending to $9 a square foot for office space in Saint Paul; That's $21,000 a year for this one storage facility. There are storage facilities that charge $1.50 a square foot just minutes away from St. Paul.
With the State of Minnesota's financial health teetering on not being able to pay its bills the Housing and Finance Agency is the tip of the iceberg of wasteful spending. As the November elections approach and many candidates talk about raising taxes to pave the way to financial prosperity is the truth about the State of Minnesota's balance sheet showing enough of where tax money is being spent?
The Minnesota tax cut rally is this Saturday May 8th - 1 pm at the state capital. Come have your voices heard.

Once this hotel/brothel is up and running I hope it doesn't end up as the mystery hotel listed on Wotif.
An independent panel has granted resource consent for the controversial Chow Brothers Auckland building project.
John and Michael Chow plan to build a 15-storey tower on the former Palace Hotel site in the CBD.
The building will feature offices, bars and entertainment facilities including a brothel and hotel.
The panel, comprising David Kirkpatrick, Rebecca Skidmore, Justine Bray and Bill Smith, decided the activities which took place inside the building could not be considered under the RMA.
It also found it was outside its scope to deny resource consent as a punishment for Chow brothers.
"While we can appreciate that a number of submitters are at least dissatisfied with what occurred or did not occur in the wake of the demolition of Aurora Hotel we have no lawful authority."
A public hearing was held earlier this month. The project attracted more than 220 public submissions opposing the development.
Auckland Council senior planner Jennifer Valentine had earlier released a report recommending resource consent be granted.
She also found she could not take into account the morality of activities which took place inside.

14 Comments & Questions
I have no opinion on the rights or wrongs of this venture.
It is interesting though that, considering the RMA is always used as an excuse for every interception and objection, that all of a sudden we have a situation where the RMA cannot be a consideration????
What exactly is an Independent Commissioner?
Maybe it is just that the voracity with which the cracks were being covered up is waning....
Isn't it a bit precious to argue against this sort of activity when voters appear to have supported moves to make the oldest profession legal? If there is such outrage, why didn't the voters get a referendum? Or is this another example of the unintended consequences arising out of left wing politicians?
It is, in fact,an entirely predictable outcome which for once observes the law instead of being hijacked by extreme pressure groups.
The brothel issue is a complete red herring. It is a legal activity in an area zoned appropriately. I personally object to the hypocrosy of all the religious zealots who have been (and continue to be) responsible for endless wars and suffering in the world, and yet see a paid consensual sexual encounter as a greater evil. Get real!

Peace out Milano its been realMilan, Spring 2010
Well here we are. My last night in Milan is over and I leave for the airport in approximately seven hours. I should probably be sleeping but here I am blogging instead. I must say, last week I was ready to leave. Maybe it was just because I had so much work to do but I was pretty ready to go. Ready to be done with school work and see all my family and friends. But now? Now, I must say I am really sad to be leaving. I've had an amazing semester and every other day I was asking myself: How is this my life? However, at the same time I was becoming accustomed to living it. Tonight we had our IES farewell dinner and it finally hit me this was truly over. It was a great night and a great end to this experience but, at the same time, it was really sad. I had to say goodbye to the people I've gone through so much with and say goodbye to Milan. January, and the beginning of the semester seem so far away but I also can't believe these five months are over so soon. I have such mixed feelings about all of this but, in the end, I suppose all I can do is embrace the memories. I can very honestly say that study abroad has been one of the best experiences of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was truly once in a lifetime, and my advice to anyone debating whether or not to go abroad? Do it. So, arrivederci Milano and ciao amici! Time to get some sleep and head back to the States, but I'm missing this already.

The Grammy-nominated guitarist, who performed in France just three days ago, has passed away in a hotel room in Zurich.
14:46, UK, Thursday 17 July 2014
US blues legend Johnny Winter has died in a hotel room in Zurich, Switzerland, aged 70.
"His wife, family and bandmates are all saddened by the loss of their loved one and one of the world's finest guitarists," a statement on his Facebook page read.
"Based on the initial elements of the investigation, it appears that this death was the result of medical reasons, and that nothing points to the involvement of another person," a police spokesman told AFP.
Winter, who was born with albinism, began playing the clarinet aged five, and switched to the ukelele and then the guitar a few years later.
According to his official website, he formed his first band when he was 14.
His big breakthrough eventually came in 1968 when Rolling Stone magazine dubbed him the hottest item after Janis Joplin in an article about the Texas music scene.
He went on to produce three Grammy award-winning albums with Muddy Waters in the late 1970s. Several of his own albums were also nominated for Grammys.
It is not yet known how the blues guitarist and singer died, but he had been due to release his new album in September.
His last performance was at the Cahors Blues Festival in France on July 14.
