With the start of August, summer blockbuster movie season is well under way. Unfortunately many of these movies (including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) are not suitable for the youngest movie watchers among us. However, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science has two incredible 3D summer movies that are perfect for movie fans of all ages.
Pandas: The Journey Home and Island of Lemurs: Madagascar are the two movies currently showing at the Phipps IMAX 3D Theater at the museum. For anyone young and old who like cute and furry creatures and also have a sense of adventure, these films will fit the bill.
Pandas: The Journey Home was filmed in Pingwu County of the Sichuan Province in the mountainous south-central region of China on the edge of the Himalayas. The film also features the famous Wolong Panda Research Center, a facility that is on the cutting edge of knowledge about these illusive creatures. Wolong has the country's leading captive breeding program and the center's scientists are now working on an experimental and revolutionary program to release captive-bred pandas back into the wild to repopulate this endangered species. The film, while only 45 minutes long, packs a lot of incredible information along with gorgeous cinematography in that short amount of time. The film is also shown in incredible 3D to enhance the experience. Not that long ago, the success rate of pandas born in captivity was limited. Now that rate is 95%. Most of these pandas are then "leased" to other zoos for other breeding programs and for people around the world to see these amazing creatures. The leases allow for funding for the Wolong Center to continue its ground-breaking work.
The film, created by National Geographic Movies, also follows a young panda named Tau Tau who is about to make history. He will be the released into the wild after an intensive education program. The film shows how the center, by dressing up as pandas themselves (so as not to have human interaction) and by using the scents and sounds of other pandas and the forest, work to make Tau Tau as self-sufficient as possible. Interspersed throughout the film are the most adorable images of pandas playing, eating, climbing trees and cuddling with their moms and care takers.
Island of Lemurs: Madagascar follows the evolution and survival of Madagascar's unique Lemur species. While most people are familiar with the sillier antics of lemurs through cartoons and animated movies, this Warner Bros. film shows how lemurs became separated from the rest of Africa by landing on the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. They then evolved into hundreds of diverse species. Now, however, these species are threatened by human encroachment. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, the film follows Dr. Patricia Wright and her team on a mission to ensure the survival of these unique creatures.
Consider this: The lemur is one of the planet's oldest primates, a group of animals which includes orangutans, monkeys and us, humans. However, lemurs developed and became stranded on Madagascar millennia before monkeys evolved on the African continent so they are not our direct ancestors. Perhaps that is why they amuse and fascinate us so. They act and move in completely unique ways, like their ability to leap from tree to tree as if flying or the way they dance when on the ground. However in other ways, such as eating or playing they do seem a lot like us. The film also focuses on the incredible diversity of the species considering they only live in this one place. Beautifully shot, the film shows us lemurs from above the forest canopy as well as below using special hot air balloons.
Both films are currently being shown at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science through October 9 so there is plenty of time to see them before summer slips away. Film times for Lemurs are 10:30 AM, and 2 and 5 PM Monday through Sunday and film times for Pandas are 11:30 AM and 3 PM daily and at 7 PM on Fridays and Saturdays (Friday evening shows are part of the Summer Nights program; see website for more information). Prices are $10 for adults not members of the DMNS and $7 for members. Tickets for children and seniors range from $6 to $8 depending on membership status.

KUALA LUMPUR — World No 1 Lee Chong Wei confirmed he is suing Razif Sidek for alleging he has been using banned substances for a long time.
The former national shuttler Razif had told Kosmo on Nov 11 that several Badminton Association of Malaysia officials were aware Chong Wei has been taking banned substances for some time, but kept mum as he is the world's top shuttler.
Kuala Lumpur: Former badminton doubles great Razif Sidek believes sound management is the key to reviving Malaysia's fortunes in the international badminton arena after the recent dismal performances by our national shuttlers in the world championship and the just concluded Asian Games that has raised concerns among the fans in the country especially with no one in sight to replace Datuk Lee Chong Wei.
Kuala Lumpur: Former Malaysian national coach Razif Sidek was unhappy and slammed the irresponsible attitude of President of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff who pointed fingers at the coach following poor performance of men's singles, Daren Liew at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow two weeks ago.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia badminton has traditionally been known to produce and to nurture top men's doubles. Started with Tan Aik Huang/Yew Cheng Hoe in the 60's, Ng Boon Bee/Punch Gunalan in the 70's, Razif Sidek/Jalani Sidek in the 80's, Cheah Soon-Kit/Soo Beng Kiang, Cheah Soon-Kit/Yap Kim Hock,
KUALA LUMPUR: When Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin took the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) leadership to task two days ago, many thought it would spark major changes in the national body.
There were changes, but nothing drastic or radical.
Probably, the one good talking point that came out of the two-hour council meeting on Saturday was a decision to appoint an expert to handle the coaching and training committee, which will now be known as the Capabilities, Skills and Research (CSR) committee.
The role of this expert could be similar to that of national coaching director and one name that keeps popping up as a possible candidate is that of Denmark's Morten Frost.
The other decision taken was to relieve BAM president Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff of his additional roles.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former international Razif Sidek will not act as an assessor for the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) unless he is given an official letter of appointment.
As of Monday, Razif still had not received any official appointment letter from BAM's president Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff although he had requested for it several times.
Last year, Razif was brought in as an assessor in September and given several roles. He was to assess the national players and coaches, and he was even sent as team manager to the Denmark Open in Odense in October.

United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack proclaimed August 5-11, 2012 as National Farmers Market Week. The Manistique Farmers' Market will be celebrating on Wednesday August 8, 2012 from 4-6pm at Little Bear West Arena in Manistique.
Shoppers will have opportunities to win prizes of fresh produce and cottage foods at farmer booths throughout our market. The Manistique Farmers' Market is a food and farm market only, so you will always find fresh locally grown and produced foods at the market. Farmers' Market week is the perfect time to thank our farmers and our customers for making the Manistique Farmers' Market an amazing success.
The Manistique Farmers' Market began in 2010 as part of a partnership between the City of Manistique and the Sault Tribe Strategic Alliance for Health project. Now in it's third season, the market has 16 farmers from Schoolcraft and Delta Counties, and will be open every Wednesday from 4-6pm through October 31st. The market is also a recipient of the USDA Farmers' Market Promotion Program grant, which is being used to create a system that will ensure the market is sustainable for many years to come.

There was plenty of positive energy and passion on the catwalk at the Desigual Fall 2014 runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The Spanish label, which means unique or different, energized the packed Theatre at Lincoln Center in New York City on Thursday.
Opening the show was Victoria Secret model Candice Swanepoel, strutting down the runway in a micro mini satin dress bursting with flowers and polka dots. The kaleidoscope of colors included violet, navy, hunter green, burgundy and gold. The heavily geometric and floral collection was brimming with lots of form fitting mini dresses, flowing maxi dresses reminiscent of the 1970s, and plenty of bold black and white graphic dresses and coats.
Wearing one of those fab coats was Karolina Kukova, who we snapped backstage. Other fans attending the show included Jill Zarin, Siva Kaneswaran, and Jackie Cruz and Vicky Jeudy of "Orange is the New Black."
I caught up with head of Desigual, Manel Jadraque backstage and asked about their design philosophy. "We are all about enduring optimism and being positive. We want women to feel chic, fun, genuine and happy wearing our clothes."
True to the Desigual motto, when "Le Vida Es Chula, love is always in the air" was definitely apparent throughout the show as the fab and frisky models vogued it up for the crowds with air kisses, waves and genuine smiles. Check out my slideshow if you don't believe me!

Sometimes we sit around fantasizing about our husband (psh, if you saw him you would too). And more often than not he is fully clothed in a Hugo Boss suit with an emerald green suit vest to set off his ice blue eyes, wrapped up like a gift in a skinny silk black tie adorned with a J. Press Skull Tie Bar ($69). No wonder we leave for our lunch break two hours early and return to the office about two hours late.

Animal cells have evolved multiple pathways to block entry into mitosis, and contain a large number of proteins that orchestrate cell division once they have entered mitosis. My long-term goals are to understand how cell division is controlled and to identify novel proteins that control the normal progression through the cell cycle. To achieve these goals I have focused on searching for novel genes that function in G2 and M, and determining their specific functions in these processes. Previous work allowed us to identify several genes that encode proteins important in cell cycle regulation.
Current work is focused on two proteins, Borealin and Sororin. Borealin participates in chromosome attachment to the spindle and regulates cytokinesis. Sororin is an essential regulator of sister chromatid cohesion.
Identification of novel cell cycle genes.
We used Affymetrix gene arrays to analyze transcriptional repression by the Rb family proteins p130 and p107. We found that most genes that are repressed in a p130/p107-dependent manner encode proteins needed for cell cycle progression and many are needed for mitosis. We also found several genes with unknown functions that are repressed by p130 and p107. We hypothesize that some of these genes represent novel cell cycle genes. We have followed up on two genes in particular, which have since been implicated in several important mitotic processes.
Borealin is an E2F target, which is downregulated in response to DNA damage in a p53 and Rb-dependent manner. Like other genes linked to proliferation, Borealin levels are elevated in a variety of human tumors. Borealin is phosphorylated at multiple residues when cells enter mitosis. Many of these phosphorylation events are catalyzed by Cdk1. Phosphorylation of S219 in particular is required for proper Borealin function in mitosis. For example, cells expressing the S219A mutant of Borealin contain more micronuclei than control cells expressing wild-type Borealin. Borealin functions as part of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), which also contains INCENP, Survivin and Aurora B. One of the roles of the CPC is to monitor spindle-chromosome attachments. Borealin joins the complex through the N-terminal third of the protein; the function of the C-terminus of Borealin is not well understood. Surprisingly, mutants of Borealin lacking the C-terminal 2/3rds of the protein still can properly localize and maintain at least some wild-type Borealin function. Ongoing studies will investigate which regions of Borealin are most important in its various functions in mitosis.
Sororin showed up on our affymetrix screen as an E2F target. Subsequent studies from other labs indicated that Sororin interacted with components of the cohesin complex which normally holds sister chromatids together until the cell reaches anaphase. We observed that recombinant Sororin could be phosphorylated on several residues by Cdk1. By mutating all nine potential Cdk1 sites, we observed that phosphorylation of Sororin plays a key role in its association with the cohesin complex and its subcellular localization during mitosis. Cdk1 mediated phosphorylation appears to release Sororin from the cohesin complex allowing separation of sister chromatid arms (but not centromeres) in prometaphase. Ongoing work is focused on determining the consequences of constitutive phosphorylation of Sororin at Cdk1 sites.
Tumor cells frequently acquire mutations that inactivate tumor suppressors such as p53 and Rb, and activate oncogenes such as Ras. Some of these changes alter the fidelity of cell division leading to further defects in genomic stability. Our studies are focused on the mechanics of cell division in order to gain insight into the defects that occur in cancer leading to genetic alterations at the chromosomal level. These insights will help in the design of novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

The conglomeration of styles on view in Brooklyn Museum's show of Judy Chicago's early work in celebration of her 75th birthday suggests that she hasn't yet found herself. Her wide variety of approaches - from minimalism to feminism, and even Judaism - speaks of attempts to fit into the popular ism of the day. How else to explain, say, her Feminist Rejection Series and her Finish Fetish School work?
Likely, the number of brickbats that her work has been hit with hasn't helped her journey to the self. She told once how much the negative reviews bothered her: "It hurts. Don't think it doesn't. I mean, it hurts pretty bad."
She took an especially big hit in 1979 for "The Dinner Party," her V-shaped installation of place settings for 39 mythical and historical women, which was generally seen as the visual equivalent of soap box speeches, too literal-minded and heavy-handed. LA Times art critic Christopher Knight called "The Dinner Party" "the worst exhibition I've seen in a Los Angeles museum in many a moon . . . You want to run screaming from the room."
Chicago also was put down for her 1995 mix of photography and painting called "The Holocaust Project: From Darkness into Light." One reviewer faulted her for the "relentless insinuation of herself into the show See Judy standing, like a beacon in a concentration camp. See Judy spray painting images of victims," all seen as a "tendency to tackle and trivialize great Issues."
But as a descendant of 23 generations of rabbis, Chicago seemed entitled to take the annihilation of European Jewry personally. And given all the negative reviews that have come her way, it's also understandable that she would see herself as a victim. "After I did the `Holocaust,' she told me, "I thought it was going to change. I mean I kept thinking if I just keep working, and if my work were bigger, better, it would change."
It was a fair assumption. "The Holocaust Project" is larger in meaning than "The Dinner Party." While the earlier work is about the historical suppression of women, this was more inclusive - bringing in the suffering of races and creeds through history.
It's a stretch, though, when Chicago talks about the Nazi extermination of millions as a feminist issue, saying, "Most scholars have paid virtually no attention to the fact that the architects of the Third Reich were all men." By making a connection between issues of war and women, one may wonder if she was making a connection between her disconnected styles.
Another of Chicago's points to wonder about is her view that female reviewers give her the most grief, which she explains away by saying it isn't her art that's weak; it's the reviewers who are weak:
"It's like I violated a lot of what's been acceptable for women in terms of the scope of my projects and ambition and my desire to have an impact on history. You know, I'm not exactly the most tactful person. I mean, I'm pretty straightforward. Blunt. For women, these are not virtues. So these women consciously or unconsciously express the fact that I've done something wrong."
In the interest of transparency, I've been one of those who have panned her work, especially "The Dinner Party." I've said that celebrating women's history with dishes and referring to their pubic area is not a great way to celebrate women's history. When Virginia Woolf said a room of one's own is necessary for female fulfillment, she didn't mean a dining room.


text: Sydney - Australia's returning backrower David Pocock says the Wallabies are prepared for a fierce and physical South Africa challenge in Saturday's Tri-Nations opener.Australia, eager to make up for a humiliating 32-23 loss to Samoa, has included seven regular Wallabies missing from Sunday's defeat.Pocock, who has recovered from a foot injury, said on Thursday the Wallabies have done a lot at training to turn things around from last weekend."Everyone knows when you play South Africa you've got to be up for it," Pocock said. "Otherwise, it's going to be a hard day at the office.""It's also a big mindset thing; meeting them in that physical battle."After torrential rain in Sydney, the match is expected to be played in slow and muddy conditions, which scrumhalf Will Genia says Australia will look to take advantage of."It's a lot easier, when it's raining, to just turn them around and put it into the corners and try and put pressure on them that way," Genia said."You can't throw the ball around as much as you can when it's dry. So we might have to tighten up a little bit as well and we'll just adjust on the night."Pocock said the wet conditions serve as useful preparation for the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand starting from September."It'll be good in the long term as far as preparation goes, and good for the side in general to be able to play in whatever conditions and be able to adjust to a different sort of game style."South Africa has left more than 20 regular internationals at home to rest up ahead of the Springboks' two home Tri-Nations Tests and the World Cup starting in September."We feel like we can exert pressure on them, not just through our attack but through our defense as well," Genia said. "Hopefully we can stifle their attack and we're confident that when we have the ball in hand - with the players that we have - that we can score points."While the Wallabies are bolstered by the return of their big names, 92-Test veteran Matt Giteau's World Cup chances are in doubt after failing to make the 22-man squad for Saturday's match - an omission that sparked criticism on Thursday.Eddie Jones, who led Australia to the 2003 World Cup final, said he was baffled by current coach Robbie Deans' decision and said opposition teams would be happy to see Giteau left out. John Connolly, the 2007 Wallabies coach said Giteau needed to be given a major role in the Wallabies line-up.Wallabies great Tim Horan, meanwhile, said Giteau was too good a player not to go to the World Cup.The prospects look slightly brighter for Berrick Barnes, who will play at fullback for Sydney University in club rugby Saturday as he attempts to comeback from several weeks of self imposed rest after multiple concussions.

On a hot afternoon recently, Roy Coumbs was inside his Cheney home doing a crossword puzzle. The puzzles are supposed to help improve his cognition and memory.
Though Coumbs, 68, looks healthy enough, less than three weeks ago he was lying face down in his backyard with no pulse, not breathing. He had suffered a severe heart attack.
Coumbs, a Cheney resident since the 1960s, credits the work of Cheney Fire Department EMTs for saving his life as well as the support and prayers of friends, neighbors and fellow congregants for getting him through.

According to NBC San Diego, three young children and a puppy were the victims of a carjacking on Sunday evening in the Chollas View area of San Diego, Calif.
A teenager took advantage of a father's mistake that evening - the man had stopped to visit his wife at work and he left the keys in the ignition of his Dodge Magnum, along with the family's puppy and the three children, whose ages ranged from 18 months of age to seven years of age.
Shortly after the vehicle was reported stolen, a California Highway Patrol officer spotted the vehicle and a brief pursuit followed.
After the suspect hit a curb and crashed, the kids and puppy were rescued and the teen was arrested.
Officer Derek Meissen, who made the arrest, noted that the kids were terrified, stating:
They were very scared. The little girl came out. She was freaking out while we were trying to take custody of the driver so we had to get her out of the way but she was very scared,"
The teen was booked into juvenile hall on multiple charges, including kidnapping and theft.

Hi there:
I've had a nice Hagstrom Superstrat clone for a number of years but it doesn't appear to be a standard model - I understand just before Hagstrom went under, it was experimenting with these kinds of guitars and a few were made, some of which ended up in Winnipeg (!) where I got mine. Any idea what this puppy is? Serial number is hand etched into the base of the Fretboard "03-24-59"

Filmmaker Greg Whiteley (Resolved, New York Doll) probably thought he had it in the bag. Mitt Romney gave him exclusive access for six years to chronicle the Salt Lake Olympic savior's quest to do the same for America. Documentary prizes out the wazoo!
You do remember Mitt Romney, don't you? He was the GOP nominee for presidnet in 2012. (Hint: In the film, Romney refers to himself as the "The flippin' Mormon.")
You also might remember that Romney sunk without a trace—except for the late-night jokes about his cyborgic demeanor. His own party blamed him for the humiliating defeat that forced a reexamination of GOP values. (Even that didn't go far.)
I can't imagine many people—even Mitt's supporters—sitting through a flim about his presidential implosion. The high point of the film—judging from the trailer—is Mitt ironing his tuxedo cuffs.
Yes, even the trailer is excruciatingly boring—except when Mitt says something like, "When someone loses as their party's nominee for president, you're a loser for life." Or a son comforting Mitt: "The nation may think you're a laughing stock, but we know better."
Then, MITT is excruciatingly sad. (Below is a screen shot of the moment on election night when Mitt realizes he can't win.)
Maybe that's what Whiteley's publicists are promising when they say the film explores the "other side" of Mitt Romney.
MITT will be screened at the Salt Lake City Gala during the Sundance Film Festival.

|T&F competes at Cougar Indoor
This Week in Idaho Track & Field:
Cougar Indoor (Pullman, Wash.)
Friday, Jan. 25 - Saturday, Jan. 26
Looking Forward
Idaho will take a quick trip across the border this weekend for the Cougar Indoor at Pullman, Wash. The Vandals will compete against Washington State and Montana, as well as post-collegiate competitors, at the meet. After the first two Vandal meets of the season saw relatively small competition groups, a more full Idaho squad will take part in this week's activities. Many of Idaho's distance runners will open their 2013 season at the meet, which features a women's pentathlon and men's heptathlon, in addtition to the standard event schedule. Friday's action starts at 2:30 p.m. (PT), while Saturday's portion starts at 10 a.m.
Historically Speaking
Last year at the Cougar Indoor, Idaho set 13 career bests, won three events and broke one meet record. Vandal junior Hannah Kiser was the headliner with her double wins in the 800m (2:13.96) and mile run (4:44.31). That mile time is a career best, ranks third all-time at Idaho after track size conversion (4:42.41) and also stands as the meet record for the event. Idaho senior James Clark earned Idaho's other win at the meet with his first-place time of 1:54.58 in the men's 800m, which was nearly two seconds better than the second-fastest competitor at the meet.
A Quick Recap
Idaho produced one Western Athletic Conference-leading mark and nine individual event wins in the team's first home meet of the 2013 season on Saturday at the Idaho Open. Senior Liga Velvere cruised to a win in the women's 800m with a time of 2:10.07, which ranks 14th in the NCAA so far this season and tops in the WAC. Junior Karlene Hurrel, in her first action since the 2011 indoor season, won the women's 60m (7.83) and then added a second victory in the 200m (24.90). Idaho's women also got wins from freshman Jerrica Hauck in the pole vault (11-3.75) and sophomore Johanna Höcketstaller in the long jump (17-6.25). On the men's side, freshman Drew Thompson won the 60m hurdles (8.55), senior Jason Lorentz claimed the long jump (22-7.25) and junior Kyle Rothwell took the weight throw (59-1.5). In all, Idaho tallied 14 personal-best marks at the event on Saturday.
Tops in the WAC
Senior Liga Velvere posted the top individual performance by a WAC woman last week in her opener when she posted a winning time of 2:10.07 in the women's 800m on Jan. 19 at the Idaho Open. Velvere, Idaho's school record holder in the event, moved up to No. 14 in the NCAA in the event with that time, which also leads the WAC by more than a two-second margin. Velvere is the only WAC woman ranked in the NCAA's top 20 so far this season, in any event.
Dropping Seconds
As a true freshman in 2012, sprinter Ben Ayesu-Attah ran a 49.15 in the 400m dash at the WSU Open. When his first Vandal season ended in August at the IAAF World Junior Championships (representing Canada), Ayesu-Attah had cut his quarter-mile time down to 46.53. Along the way, he anchored Idaho's WAC champion indoor 4x400m relay, scored an upset win in the WAC outdoor 400m dash (46.86), qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field West Preliminary Round and tallied two First-Team and two Second-Team All-WAC honors. As an encore, Ayesu-Attah opened his 2013 sophomore season with a 47.93 at the WSU Open on Jan. 12.
Shifting Landscape
If there's one thing that's consistent about the Idaho indoor track and field record book, it's change. Entering this season, at least one men's indoor school record has fallen every year since 2007. On the women's side, Lauren Schaffer's school-record 600-meter race on Jan. 12 at the WSU Open assured the women's program of a new school record for the 11th-consecutive season. If you combine the two teams, at least one Idaho indoor school record, either men's or women's, has been broken every year since 1996.

Police across the U.S. are cracking down on motorists who text while driving. Local area law enforcement agencies say they will do their part to ensure the national "U Drive. U Text. U Pay." campaign, which began Thursday and runs through Tuesday, is a success.
"People need to know that we are serious about stopping this behavior," Wadsworth Public Safety Director Matt Hiscock said. "Driving and texting has reached epidemic levels and enforcement of our state texting law is part of the cure."
Officials warn drivers that violating Ohio's texting law — which became effective Aug. 31, 2012 — can be costly.
For drivers younger than 18, the first violation can result in a $150 fine and driver's license suspension for up to 60 days. Additional violations can trigger a fine of $300 and a one-year license suspension.
For adult drivers, the violation is a minor misdemeanor punishable by a $150 fine.
"We're serious about enforcing texting laws. If you drive and text, you will pay," Wadsworth Police Chief Randy Reinke said.
Officials cite the successes of the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign as proof that the combination of tough laws, targeted advertising and high-visibility enforcement can change people's risky traffic behaviors.
But unlike drunken driving, texting while driving isn't enough to justify a citation, according to Ohio law. Police need to suspect another traffic violation before a driver can be pulled over.
"The law, the way it's set up, makes it difficult to enforce," said Lt. Bill Haymaker, commander of the Medina post of the Ohio Highway Patrol. "You have to have other probable cause to pull the vehicle over, because texting is not a primary offense. They can't be pulled over just for that even if we see them texting."
Haymaker said once they are pulled over for a primary offense, they can be cited for that and for the texting violation if the officer can prove the driver was texting. Making a phone call is not against the law, though — only texting.
Haymaker said most all Medina County police agencies are participating in the campaign and will be looking for reasons to pull over distracted drivers.
"We've always had those, even before distracted driving became an issue with cell phones. And we take those seriously," he said. "Those kinds of things cause crashes and those are the ones we want to enforce."
The University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute reports that 25 percent of teens respond to at least one text message every time they drive, and 20 percent of teens and 10 percent of parents admit that they have had extended, multimessage text conversations while driving.
The patrol reports 42 citations have been issued to underage drivers for texting and 230 violations among adults since March 2013 in Ohio.
Nationwide, more than 3,300 people were killed and 421,000 injured nationwide in 2012 in distracted-driving crashes.
The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that driving at 55 mph while texting is equivalent to a driver traveling the length of a football field — 100 yards — with his eyes closed.
"When you text while driving, you take your eyes off the road, hands off the wheel and mind off the task of driving," Hiscock said. "That puts everyone else's lives in danger, and no one has the right to do that."
The enforcement blitz is supported by an $8.5 million national advertising campaign, designed to raise awareness about the enforcement effort and remind people about the potentially deadly consequences of texting while driving.
The campaign includes a 30-second video produced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that will run on networks across the county. The graphic video shows a teen driver texting and running a stop sign, resulting in fatal consequences for her and two passengers.

Last night on the 2014 CMT Music Awards fans loved watching Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood rock it out. They performed their new song "Something Bad" and did a great job with it. On Thursday, Zap 2 It shared about this great performance and how much fans loved it.
It was a bit of a rough night for performances last night but Carrie and Miranda did not have any problems with their song at all. They totally rocked it and had their hair blowing all over the place. It was the last performance of the night and could easily be called the best performance of the show. They were one of the few performances that people are only talking good about today.
Miranda recently said that she was really nervous about asking Carrie to do this song with her. To invite Carrie, it had to be the right song and one that would be a huge hit. It looks like she found that song and things are great for these two girls right now. Miranda's new album 'Platinum' just hit stores this week as well.

ML Game 6
Moppert Brothers 8
Baker Printing 3
Ryan Colella pitched and hit Moppert to
victory in a very well-played game. On the mound, he kept the ball around the
plate, notching 6 strikeouts while allowing no walks. The defense helped him
with Justin Heidig, Aaron Brown, Ryan McLaughlin and Ryan Stocku making fine
plays to frustrate Baker.
At bat, Colella hit home runs in his first
two at bats, helping Moppert to an early 5-0 lead.
Michael Chang collected three hits for Moppert.
For Baker, Kyle Virbitsky struck out six
of the firs seven batters he faced, registering seven in all in just two-plus
inning of work. He also homered to centerfield in the fifth to get Baker close.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- U.S. troops were hurriedly building makeshift cells out of chain-link fences for the first Afghan inmates expected this week at this remote U.S. Navy base in Cuba.
"I have 100 cells prepared," said Brig. Gen. Mike Lehnert, who is leading a joint task force of 660 service men and women deployed to build the new prison camp at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.
The military led a group of reporters Wednesday on a tour of the temporary cells that will hold the first suspected Taliban and al-Qaida members, due here by week's end.

Military Prison
being used to detain suspected Taliban or al-Qaida members.
Lehnert said treatment of the detainees would be "humane but not comfortable." Officials hope to build 220 such cells, and eventually 2,000 permanent ones to hold war detainees.
In Washington, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the government would decide the detainees' legal status case by case.
"They will be provided with food and appropriate medical care," he said. "And I think it's safe to say that no matter where they are, Guantanamo or anywhere else, their conditions will be much better than the conditions under which they existed when they lived in Afghanistan."
The military is building the high-security detention facility at the base's Camp X-ray, used in the past decade to hold migrants from Haiti and Cuba intending to enter the United States illegally.
The camp is surrounded by guard towers and several rings of fences topped with coils of barbed wire.
The prisoners and those assigned to guard them will add to the 2,700 people normally on the 45-square-mile base, the oldest U.S. overseas outpost.
The U.S. military first seized Guantanamo Bay in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. President Theodore Roosevelt leased the land from Cuba in 1903, and President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the base expanded in 1939.
Ever since Fidel Castro's communist revolution, in 1959, the U.S. military presence on Cuban soil has been a source of irritation to the communist government.

Louis Armstrong: Struttin' With Some Barbecue
Struttin' With Some Barbecue
Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five
The Hot Fives And Hot Sevens Vol. 3 (Columbia CK-44422)
Louis Armstrong (trumpet), Kid Ory (trombone), Johnny Dodds (clarinet), Lil Hardin (piano), Johnny St. Cyr (banjo).
Composed by Lil Hardin & Don Raye.
Recorded: Chicago, December 9, 1927
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
If jazz had a Mount Rushmore, everybody knows who would have pride of place. Washington was Father of His County, and Louis Armstrong was Pops of Jazz. Consider as evidence this track made at the end of a two-year span in which Pops defined by example the solo as jazz's principal means of expression. Yet, as luminous as his solo is here, Pops shines brightest while leading the opening and closing ensembles. He is spectacularly authoritative. Just as the U.S. presidency was designed with George Washington in mind, jazz was designed with Louis Armstrong in mind.

require "phpQuery.php";
Linux packages
Both DEB and RPM packagages are now available. Those packages doesn't interfere with PEAR package.
As project almost reached it's first stable release and it's quite feature-complete, i've decided to open it for donations. If you're using it in your own project, maybe planning to do it with next one, waiting for one of many planned features or just like the idea of more JavaScript-like server-side, please consider 10$ donation to support phpQuery development. All amounts are appreciated!

The inventor of the Annual White House Easter Egg Roll, Dolley Madison, was featured for her famous cake, china and egg ideas on CBS television on March 23 at WBTV in Charlotte. Originally held at the capitol for about 50 years - the egg roll and celebration was later moved to the White House.
It was a true pleasure to showcase Dolley and James Madison (watch the footage on CBS) with help from five of our chefs, Stormy Mongiello, James T. Blakely, Seana Gallarini, Amber M. Messer (look for Harvey the rabbit) and myself. We represented Cleveland County and our hometown of Grover, NC quite well!

See you soon! For all of our fans and subscribers, here is the cake we made on TV:
Dolley Madison Black Pepper, Ginger and Cardamom Cake
3-cups cake flour
2-teaspoons ground ginger
1⁄2-teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2-teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2-teaspoon salt
1-cup, two sticks, unsalted butter softened
1 1⁄2- cups granulated sugar
3 Large Eggs
1 1⁄2- tablespoons peeled and grated ginger root
1-teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1-cup milk
1⁄4-cup water
1⁄2-cup granulated sugar
3-cardamom pods or 1⁄2 teaspoon of ground cardamom
1⁄2 in thick slice ginger root 6-black peppercorns
Fresh Fruit or Confectioners' Sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350° F. Butter and flour the inside of a Bundt or Tube pan, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Sift together flour, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With an electric beater beat the butter for two minutes at medium until creamy - add the sugar and continue to beat for two more minutes, or until mixture is light in texture and color.
Beat in the eggs one at a time beating for 30 to 40 seconds after each egg is added. Scrape down the side of the bowl frequently with a rubber spatula to keep the batter even. Beat in the grated ginger root and lemon juice. On low speed, alternately add the sifted mixture in three additions with the milk in two additions beginning and ending with the sifted mixture. Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake the cake for 50 to 55 minutes until raised and a wooden toothpick inserted into the cake withdraws cleanly.
To make the syrup: Combine the water, sugar, cardamom, ginger and peppercorns in a small non-reactive saucepan. Set over medium heat, and warm the mixture stirring frequently until the sugar melts 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove and let mixture stand for 10 minutes allowing the flavors to infuse into the syrup. Strain this the syrup through a medium sieve and into a small bowl. Use a pastry brush and dab the syrup over the surface of the warm cake allowing it to sink in before reapplying in the same area. Let
the cake cool completely. Garnish with fresh fruit, mint sprigs and confectioners' sugar. This can also be served with strawberry ice cream aside it.

Seven years without 'Veronica Mars' and now there's a movie and novel within the last two weeks. While the film caught us up on all things Veronica and company, sometimes to its detriment, the novel doesn't deal with such constraints. The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line is the direct sequel to the feature film, so watching it before reading this book is nearly a necessity. The characters get a bit of background but not enough to slow the momentum of the story.
Veronica is hired by the local Chamber of Commerce to find a college student gone missing amidst spring breaking in the California town of Neptune, our heroine's home. Much to the chagrin of the corrupt local sheriff, and her own father, Ms. Mars is in charge of the investigation. Trying to re-trace the steps of the girl's last known whereabouts, Veronica comes upon a house where the girl was last seen partying. The house is owned by two young men with drug cartel bloodlines. Hours after Veronica is spooked from the party, word of a second girl missing rocks the news. She was also last seen at that house. Veronica had even seen her in the proverbial clutches of one of the owners. Her investigation gets quite a bit more complicated when Veronica learns that she has a history with a member of the family of the second girl, the girl's stepmother, Lianne Scott, formerly Lianne Mars, Veronica's long-deserted mother.
Veronica has to maintain objectivity and radiate professionalism but it isn't easy when she has to help a woman who seems to be trying harder to be a good mother for other children after Lianne chose the bottle over her and her father, who somehow manages to not meddle in this case. Veronica has to balance the sheriff, the Chamber of Commerce, two grief-stricken families, and her own complicated feelings. This is the character's coming-of age.
The first in the proposed series of 'Veronica Mars' books is gripping, daring the reader to not look ahead a few lines for the next big reveal. Co-authored by series creator Rob Thomas, the novel feels like the original show even more than the film. Thomas and Jennifer Graham keep you guessing and off-balance. The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line is everything a 'VM' fan, as well as a mystery fan, could want. It's the perfect print translation of what 'Veronica Mars' is at its core: charm, intelligence, wit, humor, heart, and who-dun-it. If there was any lingering doubt, rest assured, marshmallows. V. Mars is truly back.
Veronica Mars: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line reaches bookstores on Mar 25 from Vintage/Random House.

As I walk through the grassy lawn of Columbus Commons, I can't help but think of the Talking Heads song "Nothing But Flowers."
"There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers," sings David Byrne in the '80s hit. "Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis."
In 1989, about the same year the song came out, the Columbus City Center opened in downtown Columbus. The shopping center offered more than a million square feet of merchandise in the heart of downtown.
The mall closed in 2009, and to the surprise of many it reverted to a huge public lawn in the center of the city, where food trucks now converge and friends gather to play kickball.
Columbus Commons is a 7-acre green space featuring gardens designed by Franklin Park Conservatory, an outdoor reading room sponsored by Friends of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, and a whimsical carousel carved by the artists at Mansfield's Carousel Works.
Children can ride the carousel for free during Commons for Kids, a family-friendly event held Fridays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. through Aug. 30. They also can romp on the lawn, play with a life-size chess set, make structures out of interlocking foam shapes and participate in organized crafts.
The park even has a state-of-the-art performance space called Columbus Bicentennial Pavilion. More than 200 programs are held there annually, including Picnic with the Pops and Shakespeare in the Park.
If all this play makes you hungry, get some pizza at Mikey's Late Night Slice or a creative cone at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams – two Columbus originals that now have permanent shops at the park.
Columbus Commons is open daily from 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Parking is available at nearby garages at 55 E. Rich St. and 191 S. Third St.
For a list of family-friendly events, visit columbuscommons.org/happenings/families.
Stay tuned to the park's events calendar at columbuscommons.org/happenings/event-calendar.

Behavioral Health Programs
Types of Behavioral Health Programs
There are several professions and educational paths that can lead to a career in behavioral health care. Some of the professions included below also provide opportunities outside of behavioral health (e.g. social workers and psychologists). Further, there are other professions that may provide behavioral health care as a part of their services but are not included here (e.g.primary care physicians and Registered Nurses (RNs)).
Licensed Professions
Advanced Practice Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing (APRN): an advanced-level degree for Registered Nurses (RNs) who pursue a master's degree as either a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist, psychiatric/mental health nurse, or a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. According to the Georgia Board of Nursing, in addition to RN skills the psychiatric/mental health APRN can also provide mental health promotion, mental illness rehabilitation, psychotherapy, clinical supervision, consultation, and liaison services. Graduates can pursue certification in psychiatric and mental health nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Marriage & Family Therapists (MFT): to become a marriage and family therapist, one must pursue one of the following master's degrees: marriage and family therapy, counseling, social work, medicine, applied psychology, psychiatric nursing, pastoral counseling, applied child and family development, applied sociology, or from any program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education. In addition, graduates must have completed at least two courses in marriage and family therapy, two courses in marriage and family studies, and one course in marriage and family therapy ethics. Graduates meeting these criteria are eligible to pursue licensure as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
Professional, Community and School Counselors Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC): Professional, community and school counselors can pursue multiple educational paths to become eligible for licensure. The Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers and Marriage and Family Therapists requires that professional counselors have a master's, specialist or doctoral degree from a program that is primarily counseling or applied psychology in content with the inclusion of supervised practicum hours during graduate education.
Psychiatrists: are physicians who assess and treat persons with mental illness. The required education for general psychiatry is graduation from medical school (Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) and a four-year residency in an approved psychiatric residency program. To practice in a sub-specialty area such as geriatric psychiatry, forensic psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry, up to two additional years of training is required.
Psychologists: a doctoral degree (Psy.D or Ph.D.) is required to practice as a licensed psychologist. There are multiple subfields of psychology including community psychology, developmental and child psychology, counseling psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, clinical psychology, and many others.
Social Workers: a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work (BSW) is the entry level degree, but most healthcare employers require a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW). A minimum of the licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) is generally required for mental health settings , but depending on the expectations of the position and the employer, the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) may be preferred or required. A Master's Degree in Social Work is required for licensure in Georgia.
Non-licensed Professions
Certified Peer Specialists (CPS): are consumers of mental health services who participate in training, ongoing education and support, and testing to become certified through the Georgia Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) Project. Georgia developed the CPS Project to create a certified peer support workforce who could provide self-directed recovery to persons receiving mental health services in Georgia. The CPS Project website explains that, "Under immediate to general supervision, the certified peer specialist provides peer support services; serves as a consumer advocate; provides consumer information and peer support for consumers in emergency, outpatient or inpatient settings." 1 The CPS certification does not have national reciprocity and thus is currently applicable only in Georgia. Georgia does provide Medicaid reimbursement for CPSs in the areas of Peer Support Services, Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Individual Community Support, and Assertive Community Treatment.
Pastoral Counselors: are faith based providers who have received formal training to provide counseling and therapy. As described by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC), "Pastoral counseling moves beyond the support or encouragement a religious community can offer, by providing psychologically sound therapy that weaves in the religious and spiritual dimension." 2 Pastoral counseling is a non-sectarian interfaith practice, and the AAPC certified counselors work with more than 80 different faith groups. A pastoral counselor could work in an institutional setting, a counseling agency, or in private practice. Often, a pastoral counselor is employed by a counseling center that provides individual and family therapy, as well as educational programming. The educational training to becoming a pastoral counselor includes a bachelor's degree, a professional degree from a seminary, and advanced clinical training in counseling and the practice of psychotherapy. Many pastoral counselors may pursue licensure through either the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) routes.
Psychiatric/Mental Health Technicians: play a key role in the delivery of behavioral health care, particularly at in-patient facilities. Psychiatric/mental health technicians perform a multitude of tasks including direct care activities, basic nursing procedures, implementation of portions of treatment plans, assist patients/consumers in learning daily living skills, participate in recreational and social activities, accompany patients/consumers to appointments and activities, and observe and document patient/consumer behavior. The educational requirement for technicians is typically a high school diploma or equivalent. However, there are two psychiatric/mental health technician programs available, one each through the USG and the TCSG. Georgia is similar to the majority of states in that it does not license technicians providing direct care to persons with mental health diagnoses and/or developmental disabilities. 3

- American Association of Pastoral Counselors (2009). "About Pastoral Counseling," Retrieved September 21, 2009 from: https://aapc.org/content/what-pastoral-counseling.
- According to the American Association of Psychiatric Technicians 46 states do not have a licensure requirement for psychiatric technicians.

Expect all US & Global access to generic medication and access to lifesaving surgeries to disappear completely if the new trade agreement, known as Trans-Pacific Trade Pact (TPP) goes through Congress as law. Our US patents for medicine and even surgical techniques will become renewably extended at 20 year intervals, making affordable access inaccessible to the majority of patients in the United States and around the globe..
#TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) future in anyone's hands will be potentially life threatening for everyone who needs generic alternatives for medicines because they will not be available any longer if this indeed goes through.
Under the aforementioned, recently declassified, yet still secret to the US public, international TPP agreement, US & Global International Medical Patents will be indefinitely renewable at the 20 year mark for most any reason by the Tradenamed Patent holder, including dosage changes or any modifications to the original patent. Even surgical techniques will become renewably patentable making life saving medicines and surgeries available to only the wealthiest 99% in every nation on the globe.
We ask, why have only about 2000 people, so far, seen this video (below) out of our actual total US population of 370 million (including 40M illegal and alleged foreign undocumented Islamic hostile Muslim immigrants located in Islamic Jihadist training camps on US soil.) ~ M.

This past weekend, downtown Charlotte was awash in a sea of green as the city celebrated St. Patrick's Day weekend with the Eighteenth Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade and Rich and Bennett's 14th Annual Bar Crawl! Thousands of excited festival goers lined Tryon St. in Uptown on Saturday, March 15, to watch as over 120 entrants marched in the parade, and afterwards celebrated into the wee hours at the numerous bars and pubs participating in the both the Bar Crawl and Charlotte Goes Green Festival. One festival regular is Ri-Ra Irish Pub, located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, and a St Patrick's Day favorite for authentic Irish food and atmosphere.
Built in 1997 by Irish craftsman Ciaran Sheehan, Ri-Ra gives a true feeling of Ireland made possible by the authentic artifacts and décor that make up the bar's cozy interior. Mr. Sheehan went to great lengths to source and restore original items from Ireland to his new home in Charlotte. According to the pub's website, "the Victorian bar in the middle of the Charlotte pub was built in the 1800's for the officer's mess in the Phoenix Park Barracks in Dublin. The bar was removed in 1920 and it lay in storage in a Dublin garage for over 70 years…."
"Toward the front of Ri-Ra, you will find the perfect example of a cozy shop bar which originated from somewhere within Northern Ireland, c. 1740. Sections of this back bar include a restored Guinness mirror and a collection of Dublin Corporation Ledgers written from 1800-1840….The etched glass panels set into the Victorian back-bar are originals dating to the early 1800s."
A statue of St. Patrick himself stands behind the bar; "[t]he exact origin…is unknown but it is well over 100 years old. It was not uncommon for a rural town or village to have a statue or a monument at the entrance to give a blessing to passersby. In addition to the original bar, the pub is full of antiquities of interest."
In May of 2009, an early-morning fire swept through the pub and destroyed much of its interior, closing the bar for almost a year as the owners worked to renovate it and restore its authenticity. Luckily, many of the original Irish items—the Victorian bar, the etched glass panels, and the statue of St. Patrick—survived the blaze, and the owners made some additional improvements as well. One of these included a hardwood parquet floor from the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, the shipyard where the Titanic was built. The bar reopened in March 2010, bringing Charlotte pub-goers the genuine Irish pub atmosphere and service that Ri-Ra is famous for.
And it appears that the atmosphere and service are not the only authentically-Irish features that are part of its charm. Just like its sister pubs across the sea, Ri-Ra appears to be home to several resident ghosts, and certainly sports its share of ghostly activity. Employees have told numerous stories of cold spots in certain areas of the building, and apparitions of men in period dress have been reported over the years. Other sightings have included brief glimpses of what appears to be a white dog, and a young girl or woman in a white dress has been reported as well. Lastly, a ghostly hand is said to write the alphabet in chalk on an upstairs wall.
While it is not certain who these ghosts may be, there is no doubt that the building—in addition to its truly Irish décor—has a great deal of history behind it. The site where the building now stands was a department store that lay vacant for a number of years, while the current structure dates from about 1910. However, during construction, Mr. Sheehan unearthed horseshoes and other stable equipment suggesting that at some point in history the site was used as a stable. Perhaps the men in period dress date from this point of the pub's past, and are simply returning for a hard-earned drink!
Whoever the ghosts of Ri-Ra may be—former stable workers or Irish immigrants themselves, attached to the pub's authentic antiquities—they all add to the genuine Irish charm and atmosphere that make Ri-Ra a St. Patrick's Day favorite. As the folks at Ri-Ra say, "In towns and villages across Ireland, the 'Pub' is at the heart of the community. Birthday celebrations, sports club meetings, wedding parties, charity events, dancing, laughing, crying; you name it. Expect much the same at Rí Rá."

Norwich secures
cyber war grant
NORTHFIELD The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued $9.9 million worth of contracts to a nonprofit organization controlled by Vermonts Norwich University to continue work on a cyber-warfare gaming system that helps financial institutions and others learn how to respond to computer attacks.
Last month, officials from Norwich and U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy announced that Norwichs Applied Research Institute had been chosen to receive the grant. Officials said that Tuesday it was official.
The institutes Distributed Environment for Critical Infrastructure Decision-making Exercises program helps organizations recognize that something is happening to their computer networks and respond appropriately.
Advancements in the program will allow multiple organizations to take part in cyber-attack simulations. Earlier versions have already been used to simulate electronic attacks.MORE IN Vermont News
