I can hardly believe it's here again, but there it is on the calendar. A week from tomorrow, San Francisco is playing host to what is probably one of the highest quality wine tasting events anywhere in the world. That is, if you care for California wine. But even the most die-hard Francophiles should have a hard time staying away from an event that features hundreds of the smallest and highest-quality wine producers from all over the state.
Regular readers will be familiar with my coverage of the Family Winemakers of California event from past years, which never fail to offer up fantastic wines for the trying -- far too many, in fact, to be experienced in one day. Attendees are warned to make a list of what they want to taste in advance, lest they be overwhelmed.
My strategy is generally to taste as many wines as possible, skipping the biggest producers, and generally stopping at any wineries whose names I don't recognize. Even with this strategy, I usually only get to taste about half as much as I would like, but 250 wines is about the max for my palate in one day. Whether you want to taste a lot, like me, or you want to simply seek out a few gems that you've heard good things about, Family Winemakers is one tasting not to miss.
Family Winemakers of California
Sunday August 20th 12:00 - 4:00 PM
Fort Mason Center
San Francisco, CA
Tickets for the general public are $35 in advance; $45 day of event. They are on sale at Fort Mason Box Office, (415) 345-7575, or via Ticket Web.
My usual tips for public wine tastings apply: get a good night's sleep the night before, eat lunch before you arrive, drink lots of water, wear dark clothes, and for Pete's sake, people -- SPIT! You don't want to be one of those stumbling fools that the rest of us responsible wine lovers mock all afternoon.

NOAA: Americans should always be tsunami ready
Experts say the chances of a tsunami devastating the U.S. East Coast — as one did to Japan on March 11 – are remote.
The Atlantic simply does not experience the same level of earthquake or volcanic activity as the Pacific.
Just the same, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration today issued what amounts to warning to all U.S. coastal residents: Be ready just in case.
"In the wake of Japan's tsunami disaster, NOAA is urging Americans who live and vacation at the coast to take the threat of tsunamis seriously," the agency said in a statement.
"With more coastline than any other country in the world and proximity to several major fault lines, the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean coasts of the United States are vulnerable to tsunamis."
NOAA issued the statement as part of National Tsunami Awareness Week.
Although South Florida needs to be much more on guard for hurricanes and tropical storms, it wouldn't hurt to keep tsunami awareness in mind was well.
To learn more about how to prepare for a tsunami or any other disaster, visit ready.gov.
NOAA otherwise offers these tips if the government sounds a tsunami warning:
– Keep calm;
– Move to high ground at least 100 feet in elevation, a mile inland, or to the highest floor of a sturdy building and STAY there;
– If you are already in a safe location, STAY there.
Some warning signals that a tsunami might be approaching:
– A strong earthquake, or one that persists for 20 seconds or longer;
– The ocean withdraws or rises rapidly;
– A loud, roaring sound (like an airplane or a train) coming from the ocean;
– Tsunami warnings broadcast over television and radio, by beach lifeguards, community sirens, text message alerts, National Weather Service tsunami warning center Web sites and on NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards.

Ballet lovers, here's your rare chance to enjoy ballet...kiwi style.
It's been 21 years since the feet of dancers from New Zealand's ballet company have pranced across stages in the United States.
That makes this upcoming tour a 'can't miss'.
The Royal New Zealand Ballet will begin it's rare American tour right in the heart of Los Angeles.
From LA, the Royal New Zealand Ballet (RNZB) will head to Santa Barbara, Minneapolis and then finish in New York.
It will be a homecoming for the company's American artistic director Ethan Stiefel. Stiefel was once a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre before becoming a teacher at the bottom of the world. He's been the artistic director for the RNZB since 2012.
The troupe will be performing Giselle a French Ballet which was first performed in the mid 1800s. It is the story of a poor girl who falls in love with a man who she later finds out is already spoken for and engaged. After learning of the engagement Giselle dies of a broken heart. A group of women in the performance known as the Wilis have the power to use their dance to cause a man's death. Giselle is summoned from the grave and blocks the 'death dance' from becoming fruitful and allows the one she loves to live.
The Royal New Zealand Ballet's Giselle will hold performances in LA at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion starting this Friday and continuing through the weekend.
If you choose one of the performances on Saturday or Sunday, plan to get there very early. One hour before each Saturday and Sunday show, audiences will be treated to Dance Talks with someone from the RNZB.
For each show there will be a photo booth and a display of point shoes available.
- Royal New Zealand Ballet's Giselle
- Fri. January 31st at 7:30 pm – Sunday February 2nd at 2 p.m.
- Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
- 135 N. Grand Ave. Los Angeles
- Tickets cost between $35-$141

Never worn. Tried on once. I love this dress, but because we ended up deciding on an outdoor summer camp location, I went with another style that won't be in as much contact with the ground.
The little sleeve things are removable (I never removed them, but they're just stitched on with one stitch). The dress fits me perfectly and I wouldn't need any alterations except shortening it. I'm 5'5″, size 2-4, 27 jeans, 34 B bra, 36″ hips. It makes you have great cleavage and fabulous hips!
I haven't made any alterations and have only tried the dress on once when it arrived brand new. I paid $650 and I'd like to sell it for $600. Retails for $800.

about me
I enjoy mentoring and teaching others about a deeper, richer existence of Master/slave relationships. My philosophical characteristics are Gorean in nature; with special emphasis given to the Masculinity/femininity of each individual.
I am very active in My local Community - the local civic community; as well as in living styles; both in Gorean circles and at local and National BDSM affiliations; and would encourage whoever is with Me to be the same. I place a strong emphasis on High to Medium Protocols; and enjoy many rituals; including physical, demonstrative and visual participation.
White silk slave - Presently, I have a beautiful , lovely part time white silk, Collared serving slave - dee (tre_sh_dee ). She is married to another, but is a kajira to Me. I have known her for almost four years; and she is very special and loyal to Me and My Leather Household. In the past; I have trained several slaves for skills and service; and have Contracted others for training and education.
Green silk slave - I recently acquired a splendid unowned green silk slave - anne (asinger). She is a domestic slave, and is responsible for looking after My needs concerning food, cleaning, laundry, etc.. She is a part of My Leather Family, and is a sister to My white silk slave - dee. Together, they are able to look after and meet My needs daily regarding domestic servitude and general service.
Red silk slave - I am currently in a Polyfidelity dynamic with a wonderful red silk slave - mori (Sieans_mori) from another Home, and Am leaning towards a more solid structure of a Leather Household based on Polytrothism in the future. I also have several close friends and slaves from other Homes that are offered to Me from time to time. This is the extent of My 'Relationships' presently.
I am not actively looking for anyone in particular. I still believe Destiny will decide ultimately if, or if not; a more sincere long term relationship is in the cards. What I do insist on is; a woman that knows the depth in her beauty; the softness of her femininity; the strength of her intelligence; the power to overcome adversity; the love of Community; and finally; a woman that can differentiate between her role in living styles, and her position of being a cherished and intricate part of an intimate relationship within My Household.
I do attend several regular events and munches throughout southwestern Ontario. I also travel to Upper New York and Michigan States occasionally; as well as making business trips to the East Coast semi - regularly.
I also have a Life outside of Fet/bdsm activities. I am very active in sports; enjoy live theatre and opera; volunteer at some local Community Associations; and spend some weekends attending various cultural festivals and rock concerts. I rarely eat at Home (can't cook to save My life) ; have others willing to do My cooking, baking, laundry, and cleaning; (again totally inept and quite happy to let others serve in this fashion) ; and enjoy good company at a fine restaurant or night out.
My views and living styles are the same; what you see is Who I am at work, at Home, with My Family, and in My neighbourhood. I am consistant in what I believe and how I live.
If My views and living style interest you, and you would like to know more, feel free to e-mail Me; or say "Hello" if you see Me at an event or function.

I would like to share what the meaning of surrender is; and what and why it is foundational to a Master/slave relationship.
First of all; the relationship of a Master/slave dynamic; (to Me anyways); is much different than a D/s or even a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. How the relationship starts out will shape and form what kind of dynamic it will become over time. Was it formed on romance? Companionship? Kinky activities? Finding a Master? Accepting a slave? Look at your... read more

In a Master/slave relationial dynamic; when does the responsibility and accountability end? I posted in the 'Gorean Gathering Place' what the preception of a 'collar' means to Goreans; and received quite a few messages back disagreeing with the principle that the collar is an absolute of surrender, of one's identity as a slave, as a position in a Household.

CCSU Reclaims Late Lead to Defeat Wildcats, 8-6
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 03/22/2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (12-12) rallied through the middle innings, after falling behind to Central Connecticut State (4-4) early. However, the Blue Devils pushed back and held on for the 8-6 win behind the closeout pitching of Anthony Mannuccia, Saturday at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.
The Blue Devils pushed the initial run across in the top of the first, scoring on a two-out Anthony Turgeon RBI single through the left side. CCSU added three more in the top of the second, opening with Connor Fitzsimons scoring on wild pitch after advancing on another. Two runs came in on J.P. Sportman's triple to center field, including Sportman, due to an error in the Wildcats' outfield.
The Wildcats responded in the bottom half of the inning to climb back in the game. A one-out walk for Eros Modena set the table for the score and Bryant Munoz took a second-pitch RBI triple to the right center wall for the Wildcats first score. Jake Welch brought Munoz in on an RBI groundout to narrow the deficit to 4-2.
In response, the Blue Devils produced another big inning, back-to-back singles and a pair of stolen bases gave Bryan Rivera the opportunity to score as Jeff Osak reached on an error in the top of the third. Fitzsimons followed, scoring on an RBI groundout, and pushing the CCSU lead to 6-2.
Through the middle innings, the Wildcats made their move, starting with a home plate theft by Modena, after reaching on a two-out single in the fourth.
The scoring continued into the bottom of the fifth as right fielder Josh Johnson took a leadoff first-pitch single into shallow center field. He was quick to touch home, as catcher Zach Olszewski tripled to right center. First baseman Eric Sams brought Olszewski in on an RBI groundout and Modena brought the game to a 6-6 tie with a sacrifice bunt to bring in Matt Noble.
After a tough start, reliever Gabriel Hernandez teamed up with Christopher Waltermire to shut the Blue Devils down for four full frames, but an eighth-inning jam proved costly, as CCSU pushed two additional runners across for the 8-6 advantage.
Holding a two-run lead, the Blue Devils went to reliever Mannuccia, who pitched two shutout innings, allowing one hit and striking out four, collecting his first save of the season. Late reliever Nick Boyd (1-0) earned the win, pitching two innings. Responsible for the go-ahead runner, Waltermire (1-3) takes the loss for B-CU.
"We did a good job of coming back," Head Coach Jason Beverlin, "but ended up giving it away at the end. We could have folded early, but we fought back."
At the plate, Olszewski had a solid day, leading the team with 3-for-5 batting, one RBI and one run scored. Munoz went 2-for-3 with one RBI and a run scored.
The Wildcats and Blue Devils return to Jackie Robinson Ballpark on Sunday at Noon for the series final. CCSU holds a 2-0 advantage in the series.

Rae Ann Schmitz, alibi witness for Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice) in his 1971 trial for the murder of an Omaha, Nebraska policeman, recently gave an interview and still maintains that Mondo is not guilty. Mondo was convicted with Edward Poindexter for a bomb ambush in a controversial trial where evidence was withheld by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Both men were Black Panther leaders and targets of a FBI conspiracy under the clandestine COINTELPRO counterintelligence operation.
Schmitz, a retired attorney, was a first-year student at Creighton Law School when she testified as an alibi witness. Defense attorney David Herzog failed to prepare her for trial, meeting briefly with her in a courthouse hallway, and Schmitz thought she was being called as a character witness.
Schmitz testified that Mondo was at a party at her house from 8 p.m. the night before the fatal bombing until sometime after 2:30 a.m. when the party started to break up, placing him nowhere near the crime scene at the time of the blast and anonymous call that lured police to a vacant house.
What Herzog failed to notice was that Schmitz also provided Mondo an alibi for the time he allegedly allowed Duane Peak into his home to pick up the suitcase bomb. Rae Ann Schmitz says that Mondo was with her and that was "just one more lie that Duane Peak told."
At trial, Schmitz testified that she was with Mondo at Memorial Park for the afternoon from about 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. before she drove him to Kountze Park arriving just before 5:00 p.m. when she dropped Mondo off.
Duane Peak testified that he met with Mondo we Langa at Mondo's house that afternoon to pick up the bomb but neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys established a time frame for the supposed rendezvous. However, in a sworn pre-trial deposition several days after his arrest, Peak said that he met Mondo at 4:00 p.m. at the headquarters of the National Committee to Combat Fascism, Omaha's Black Panther affiliate chapter, and then they proceeded separately to Mondo's house arriving sometime later.
Because of the defense failure to establish a time-frame for Peak's testimony, the jury never realized that Schmitz contradicted Peak's claim and provided not only an alibi for the 911 call to police but also an alibi for the bomb pick-up hours earlier.
The 911 call was the subject of Director J. Edgar Hoover's order to FBI Laboratory chief Ivan Willard Conrad to withhold a report on a recording of the caller's voice. The tape had been sent to the FBI Laboratory to identify the caller, however, the investigation was not a search for truth. Hoover wanted the two Panther leaders convicted of the crime and did not seek the identity of the actual caller.
Mondo we Langa and his co-defendant, Ed Poindexter, were convicted for the murder of Patrolman Larry Minard, Sr. and remain imprisoned at the maximum-security Nebraska State Penitentiary. Both men continue to deny any role in the bombing. The case is under international review and is expected to be on the agenda for the United Nations Human Rights Committee next spring when United States compliance with a 1966 anti-racism treaty will be examined.
Rae Ann Schmitz continues to insist that Mondo we Langa is innocent. Mondo has a pending appeal before the Nebraska Supreme Court. No date has been set for a decision.

MLB standings 2014 news has the Seattle Mariners taking back second place in the American League wild card race. In the updated 2014 MLB standings from Saturday night (May 10), the Mariners also remain just two games behind the Oakland Athletics for first place in the division. The 19-17 record that the M's now have is thanks to an impressive 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
Chris Young was the starting pitcher in this one and he went eight strong innings for the M's. He finished the night with one earned run on just three hits and didn't walk any Royals hitters. It was a stellar pitching performance that improved his record on the season to 3-0 and lowered his ERA to just 2.63. Young has quickly turned into one of the more important free agent acquisitions of the past baseball offseason.
Justin Smoak led the offense with a two-run homer in the fourth inning. Dustin Ackley added a solo shot in the sixth inning that serves as an insurance run for the pitching staff. Robinson Cano was the only player with multiple hits as he finished 2-for-3 with a walk and raised his batting average to .296. In the ninth inning closer Fernando Rodney came in to shut the door and post his 11th save of the young season.
The Seattle Mariners have now won two of the first three games in this series against the Kansas City Royals and will look to possibly take over the first wild card slot in the 2014 MLB standings with a win on Sunday (May 11). That game will take place at 1:10 p.m. PT at Safeco Field rookie Roenis Elias taking the mound for the M's and veteran Jeremy Guthrie on the hill for the Royals. It is likely that the team will call someone up to take the place of Michael Saunders after he suffered a hyperextended knee on Saturday.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juggling is a skill which throwing objects for enjoyment or sport. The juggler throws objects up to catch and throw up again. Jugglers often call the objects they juggle as props. The most common props are balls or beanbags, rings, clubs, and special bounce balls. Some performers use more dangerous objects such as knives, fire torches, and even chainsaws.
Juggling can also mean other prop-based skills such as diabolo, devil sticks, poi, cigar boxes, fire-dancing, contact juggling, hooping, foot bag and hat manipulation.

Back in September I hosted a State Pride Tour with a bunch of other DIY bloggers. It was seriously so much fun creating a project that culminates the place you call home. I decided to tackle another Indiana project that honors Indiana farming. One of the main crops in Indiana is soybeans. In fact Indiana ranks 4th overall in soybean production. Did you know that Plaid makes Soy paint? My guess is – many of those beans came right here from my great state.

I designed it in the Silhouette Studio program…free file available.

The ones I liked the best was the math equations showing the infinite love you have for your kiddos or grandkids. They are super simple to make using the online program Ipiccy.com and would be a quick gift for Mother's Day this weekend. I also have a free printable to help you get started.

Can NASCAR Steer Itself Back Into Popularity?
As the NASCAR season climaxes, America's prime motor sport continues to see its popularity in decline. For several years now, revenues and sponsorship have plummeted, leaving an audience that increasingly resembles the stereotype NASCAR so desperately thought it could grow beyond: older white Dixie working class.
Both ESPN and the Turner Broadcasting Co., longtime NASCAR networks, took a look at the down graphs and the down-scale demographics and didn't even bother to bid on the new TV contract.
Economics, of course, are part of the problem. Not as many folks can gas up the big old RV and head off to a long weekend at a track a ways away.
But there may be a couple other more fundamental problems NASCAR should face up to.

Vintage Bird Cage Wedding Card Holder (8 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Mom was recently attending a wedding on the other side of the state and when talking with her close friend and Mother of the Bride, Peggy - she volunteered to put together and decorate the bird cage Peggy was planning to use for the wedding card holder.
Naturally, Alisha and I were called into duty and though I wasn't much help (it was the day after my hunting/hand accident and I was a little out of it), I think it turned out beautifully! The wedding theme included purples, burlap, lace, and a little rustic twist.
After a lot of discussion, drafts, mock-ups, and ideas, we decided to keep it simple, but gorgeous - of course. Alisha put her sewing skills to work attaching the purple ribbon to the burlap.
Mom arranged the wooden flower with ribbon and lace. What did I do? Supervise, take ibuprofen, and I wrote on the tag Alisha cut out with her Cricut. Come on people, I was hurt - give a girl a break! :)

Excerpt from Chapter 9
Sizing a PV System
A PV System must be large enough to produce enough watt-hrs to power a load. In the simplest situation one module that produces 50 watts will power one 50 watt light bulb for every hour that the sun shines. Most light bulbs are not used in the daytime but in the evening. Furthermore one light bulb is not matched to one module. Instead a number of modules charge a battery bank all day long and then this battery bank powers loads in the evening. If an array produces 1000 watt-hrs only 1000 watt-hrs are available to power the load. The specific load can be 1000 watts for one hour or 100 watts for ten hours. A battery bank is really a bank deposits equal withdrawals. The PV array steadily charges the batteries during the daylight while the load is withdrawn anytime whether in large wattages over a short time or in small wattages over a long time.
The first step in designing a PV system is to determine the daily usage in watt-hrs. Next an array is sized large enough to produce the same watt-hrs as the daily load and a battery bank is sized large enough to hold the daytime array output and return it at night to power the loads. For example a 100 watt-hr load is matched to a battery bank which stores 100 watt-hrs which is matched to a PV array which produces 100 watt-hrs. Unfortunately this example only works under the ideal condition of 100% efficiency. In reality the modules lose efficiency as they increase in temperature the batteries are only 80% efficient in their conversion of electrical energy to chemical energy to electrical energy and an inverter has a 15% loss of energy for any AC load.
In summer days are long and nights are short. This reverses in winter. When days are long the PV array receives more light and produces more electricity. When days are short less PV electricity is produced and the longer nights result in greater loads due to increased lighting demands. Clear weather is less common in winter further reducing the average insulation available.
In the appendix of this book you will find an appliance list to aid you in the wattage requirements of the most common appliances to be used in a remote site PV home. Also in the appendix you will find a blank worksheet for sizing your PV system. The first section of this worksheet helps you estimate you daily loads. Photocopy the blank worksheet for you own personal worksheets. In the following pages of this chapter " you will find the above mentioned PV system worksheet filled out with the hypothetical system we will design.
To accurately size a PV system for a remote site home" it is necessary first to determine the loads. Your loads will change throughout the year. If you will have no backup charging system and all loads are essential you should fill out the load section of the worksheet for the worst case month of winter when the least average sunlight per day is available and the greatest loads are needed.
If you have a backup charging system you may fill out the worksheet with load estimates for the average use of the year. During the worst part of the year additional loads can be supplied by the backup. It is often helpful to fill out the worksheet for several scenarios. After pricing a PV system for each case you will be able to make a well-informed decision.

Here are a few statistics that really jumped out from the New Orleans Saints' 27-16 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome:
Stat No. 1: Third-down conversions. The Bucs: 2 of 13 (15 percent). The Saints: 5 of 10 (50 percent). The Saints' offense is usually very good on third down but this was an outstanding performance from the defense. If you hold a team under 20 percent on third down you usually will come out on top.
Stat No. 2: Rushing yards: Bucs: 84. Saints: 195. A tremendous effort by the Saints with all three backs - and quarterback Drew Brees - contributing to this huge total. The Saints showed they were going to try and run the ball early with three consecutive running plays to open their first possession. The Saints also showed great balance. Chris Ivory led the way with 67 yards, Pierre Thomas had 66 and Darren Sproles had 42. Brees chipped in 20 with his longest run as a Saint late in the fourth quarter.
Stat No. 3: Penalties. Bucs: nine for 80 yards. Saints: eight for 63 yards. Both teams had issues in this category and the penalties played a significant outcome in the game. LeGarrette Blount's personal-foul penalty for shoving the football in Will Smith's face was particularly costly for the Bucs as it took them out of scoring position when the outcome was still in doubt.
Stat No. 4: 73,043. Largest crowd to see a Saints game in the Superdome.

We all have probably heard about uses of a whitetail carcass beyond just the meat for consumption. I think the most common example is Native Americans and how we are told they never let anything go to waste on an animal. For example, the definitive (yet dated, I would argue) work on white-tailed deer by Halls (circa 1984) mentions several uses of deer by Native Americans including, but not limited to food, hides for clothing, blankets, bags, quivers, sinew for thread and string, bone and antler for implements, and the list goes on. Even nowadays we somewhat celebrate this tradition by using antlers for rattling. This is pretty common.
But I was interested in any unique uses of deer by you guys or people you might know. Not to diminish the importance of meat, though.
One thing I have done is use a thoracic vertebrae (one near the front of the torso with a long spine reaching upwards) as a coat/hat hanger. Nothing to elaborate but gave me a feeling of accomplishment and a little understanding of those who had to use everything just for survival.

Well, all I know is the meat is pretty good. I save the hides for my college buddies and they make their own buckskin for clothing and craft like wallets and bags.

I have an old Ontario Pilot Survival knife with a weathered and shrunken stacked-leather handle with the top broken off. Over Christmas I'm planning to mill down a section of either deer or elk antler to replace the leather, then weld the top back on and refinish it. My father-in-law also makes pen and pencil sets out of deer antlers and .270 brass. I also have a deer drag made from a 'Y' section of antler and 550 cord. I'm saving up hides to tan to upholster a couple of chairs I plan to build in the next year or two.
Oh, and I eat the meat

I like to cut off the tarsal glands on any deer i've taken and use those to bring in more deer the next time i'm out.I have had really good luck doing this.I also love the meat and some day would love to make a deer hide blanket with the hair still on it.I haven't been lucky enough to take a buck to use its antlers for rattling.
it is truly a gift from God to be able to do this

Larry Shyatt Returns to Lead Wyoming at UNLV
Feb. 7, 2014
LARAMIE, Wyo. -
After missing the last two games due to an illness, head coach Larry Shyatt will return to coach the University of Wyoming men's basketball team at UNLV on Saturday. The Cowboys (14-8, 5-4 MW) are coming off a dramatic 66-61 overtime loss to New Mexico in The Pit on Wednesday, while the Rebels (15-8, 6-4 MW) suffered a 75-57 defeat at Colorado State on Wednesday in their last outing. Saturday's tip is set for 8 p.m. MT in the Thomas & Mack Center.
Fans can follow live coverage of the game, including live video from ESPN3, through the men's basketball Gameday Central page on GoWYO.com. The contest will also be broadcast on the radio by the Cowboy Sports Network.
A Look at the Matchup
Head coach Dave Rice and UNLV enter the weekend fourth in the MW standings at 6-4 in conference play and 15-8 overall. Most recently, the Rebels had a four-game winning streak broken by a 75-57 loss at Colorado State last Wednesday. The Rams led by 13 at halftime and extended the advantage to as many as 21 midway through the second half. UNLV shot just 36 percent (21-of-59) from the field and 32 percent (7-of-22) from deep, while connecting on 50 percent (8-of-16) at the free throw line. CSU earned a 37-36 advantage on the boards, 18-12 in assists and 13-6 in points off turnovers. On the season, UNLV's offense averages 72.1 points for seventh in the MW. The Rebels' 44 percent from the field is eighth and 32 percent from deep is 10th. Defensively, UNLV allows 64.6 points for third in the conference, while opponents shoot 39 percent from the field and 28 percent beyond the arc against the Rebels. Those marks rank second and first in the MW, respectively. UNLV's three-point percentage defense ranks fourth in the NCAA, while its 6.6 blocks are first in the MW and seventh in the nation.
Each Team's Leaders
Junior guard Bryce Dejean-Jones' 13.8 points pace UNLV, while his team-high 3.2 assists per game are eighth in the MW. Junior forward Khem Birch was named to the preseason All-MW team and nearly averages a double-double at 11.5 points and 9.6 rebounds. His 3.7 blocks per game lead the league and rank second in the nation. Junior forward Roscoe Smith does average a double-double at 11.4 points and 11.7 rebounds. Smith and Birch rank first and fourth, respectively, in the MW in boards. Senior guard Kevin Olekaibe, a transfer from Fresno State, contributes 10.1 points per game, thanks in part to 2.3 treys per game for sixth in the MW. Junior guard Deville Smith rounds out UNLV's probable starters at 8.5 points and 2.3 assists.

Cancer Vaccine Activists Unhappy but Unbowed
Despite a disappointing setback, patient activists vowed to keep pushing FDA to approve a vaccine to treat advanced prostate cancer, Marilyn Chase reports in this morning's WSJ.
Dendreon, developer of the vaccine called Provenge, said yesterday that FDA asked for more clinical data about the vaccine's effectiveness, a request that could delay its availability for years. "My mind is bouncing around. I feel very, very let down," one activist said.
The debate over Provenge is echoed in the hopes and fears of patients with other life-threatening diseases, such as Alzheimer's and AIDS. When should patients, desperate for cures, be allowed access to treatments whose full benefits and risks aren't understood? Activists argue that "when lives are at stake … patients can't afford to wait for enough data to be gathered to do a rigorous analysis of risks and benefits," Chase writes. On the other hand, the "resurgence of patient activism comes at a time when the FDA is also under pressure from other critics who believe it has been too quick to approve drugs and too cozy with the industry it regulates."
Studies of Provenge failed to meet their pre-defined goals — most importantly, the vaccine didn't appear to slow the spread of prostate cancer in men with advanced disease, and who weren't responding to hormone therapy. But after the studies were completed, an analysis suggested the vaccine may have increased survival by about four months. The research on Provenge generally supported its safety.
The FDA may wait for data from a 500-person study now under way. The final results from that study will not be available until 2010, but an early analysis could be ready in 2008.
Paul Goldberg, editor of The Cancer Letter, an influential newsletter, told WSJ: "FDA didn't have much of a choice." Making decisions on solid evidence also constitutes "patient advocacy," he said. "This is just another form of it through science."

Football Gives Up Most Points Ever in 69-34 Loss To Grossmont
In 86 years of Pasadena City College football, no opponent had scored as many points as host Grossmont College piled up Saturday afternoon in a 69-34, National Southern Conference victory over the Lancers.
PCC was 6-0 in the all-time series against the Griffins, including its previous meeting, a 38-17 win by the Lancers in the 2001 South County Bowl. Grossmont appeared to want revenge for all of their defeats to PCC as it scored 10 touchdowns against a defense that had only allowed a 26 points per game average this year.
The 69 points allowed broke the previous high of 66 allowed in a 1999 loss to El Camino College.
After a 4-0 beginning to the 2010 season, things have unraveled for the Lancers, now 4-5 and 0-4 in the powerful NSC. Grossmont kept its bowl hopes going, now at 6-3 and 1-3.
Grossmont jumped out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead, and built it to 42-7 at one point in the second quarter.
The Lancers woke up offensively once former starting quarterback Nick Owens was inserted into the game after being benched in the past three contests. Owens relieved starter Cesar Hernandez (4-for-8, 54 yards) in the second quarter. The freshman lefty passer proceeded to put on a clinic by completing 22 of 42 passes for 348 yards and five touchdowns.
Owens' main target was sophomore wide receiver/utility man Reuben Thomas III, who caught TD strikes of 26, 50, 45, and 28 yards. Owens other TD pass was to running back Danny Robinson, a 30-yard pass and run to the sideline that made it 42-14 by halftime. Thomas finished with seven receptions for 194 yards and four TDs. It was the second time in his PCC career that Thomas scored four times in a game.
Sophomore transfer wide receiver Michael Harrison added eight catches for 70 yards, upping his team lead in receptions to 58 in nine games. PCC's rushing game was non-existent as the team carried 27 times for minus-10 yards. Grossmont's pass rush was the main culprit in that total as the Griffins sacked Hernandez and Owens a combined nine times for a negative 74 yards. Hernandez did have the team's longest carry, a 22-yard run on the game's first series.
Grossmont quarterback Ryan Woods torched the PCC secondary, minus injured top safety Omar Smith, completing his first 11 passes and finishing 13-for-15 for 278 yards and four TDs. Woods hit Roland Brooks for a 73-yard TD bomb early in the first quarter and hit Alex McLeland for a 48-yard flyer 2:19 into the second quarter. Reserve QB Nick Carey added two more touchdown passes.
Overall, Grossmont amassed 611 total yards and 27 first downs compared to 392 yards and 22 first downs by the Lancers.
PCC punter-kicker Brian Gonzalez did well despite a missed extra point (made his other four attempts). Gonzalez, a sophomore, averaged 41.4 yards on eight punts, successfully pushed an onside kick where he recovered the ball after hitting the ball into the foot of a Grossmont player, and turned a bad snap into a 49-yard punt on an athletic play, running to the sideline before lining the ball downfield.
Another effective player was nose tackle/offensive center Manako Tuifua. The sophomore aided the offense by returning a short kickoff 13 yards and three times gaining first downs on short yardage plays as he led PCC in rushing with 12 yards. On defense, he made 1.5 sacks and another tackle for loss on a short Grossmont pass as he finished with five tackles.
PCC's hopes of finishing .500 will be tough as the Lancers visit state No. 1-ranked Mt. San Antonio College in the season finale Saturday, Nov. 13. Kickoff is 6 p.m. at Hilmer Lodge Stadium in Walnut. The Mounties are 9-0 this season and the defending state champions.
PCC Gridiron Notes: For the fourth time this season, a PCC player was named NSC Defensive Player of the Week as Smith earned that title with his two interceptions against Palomar on Oct. 30. It was Smith's second POW selection this season. Defensive lineman Charles Tua'au and linebacker Kimball Niumatalolo also earned the conference honor...Punter Michael Varela, who handles holding on placekicks, has been used on short-field, coffin corner punts this season. He landed a 36-yard punt at the Grossmont 6 in the first quarter. Unfortunately for Varela, a valiant onside kick try in the second quarter saw him dive on the ball, but as it squirted loose, Griffins' lineman Derek Holsapple picked up the ball and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown...Robinson totaled 136 all-purpose yards on receiving and kick returns...Tua'au, Tevin McCaskill, and Cordell Robinson tied for most tackles v. Grossmont with seven each.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Authorities say six immigration protesters who were handcuffed by police at the Alabama Statehouse aren't being charged.
The six kneeled outside the Senate chamber, where they prayed and sang to protest Alabama's immigration law. They refused directions to move and then got handcuffed and led away. Police held them for about an hour Thursday morning and then released them. Senate Secretary Pat Harris said the six weren't charged because they weren't disturbing the peace.
Luis Robledo of Birmingham said his mother was one of the six. He said she came from Colombia without documentation and eventually got citizenship. He said she has sympathy for people going through the same thing she did.

If you're an avid traveller, then the Sakura (cherry blossoms) in Japan is up there on the list of natural wonders to see before you die.
Unfortunately, like the Northern Lights, it can be equally unpredictable. Sakura season can be short and is extremely weather-dependent — wind and rain easily destroy the delicate blossoms.
If you have a private jet, the viewing season starts in Tokyo in late March. If not, put it on your to-do list of sites to see in 2014.

ANAHEIM – Two managers, one city.
Marcie Edwards was appointed late Tuesday night to immediately step into the role as interim city manager in Anaheim, serving concurrently for the next five weeks with City Manager Bob Wingenroth, who is scheduled to resign June 7.
The move, approved by the Anaheim City Council during a closed-session meeting, is aimed at creating a seamless transition until a permanent city manager is hired to oversee day-to-day municipal operations, city spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz said.
Edwards has worked as Anaheim's utility general manager since January 2001. She took on additional duties as an assistant city manager between 2009 and 2011. Prior to working in Anaheim, she spent 25 years with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
Despite her temporary title, Edwards will not receive a raise from her $283,686 annual salary as utility manager and will not apply for the permanent job, Ruiz said. Wingenroth will continue to be paid his $250,000 annual salary until he leaves next month but will not get a severance package because he stepped down voluntarily.
The City Council has hired an executive search firm to seek a long-term replacement for Wingenroth, who announced his resignation last month after less than one year of working as Anaheim's chief administrator.
Wingenroth said he wants to be closer to family living in his native Arizona and has secured a job as assistant city manager of Surprise, a suburb of Phoenix.
"I don't see any confusion here," Ruiz said when asked why the city had overlapping city managers. "Marcie is assisting in the transition, while Bob attends to family business and moves back and forth between Anaheim and Arizona."

text: Jun 20, 2013 15:23 Tom Jones still has powerful vocal presence Tom Jones still has powerful vocal presence BY JOHN WIRT| Music writer May 17, 2013; 11:39 a.m. Comments Tom Jones SPIRIT IN THE ROOM The biggest spirit in the room for Tom Jones' new album is, of course, the mighty Welshman himself. Jones, now 71, retains his powerful vocal presence. He doesn't go full throttle for his Spirit in the Room album's songs the way he did, for instance, in 1969, but his expression and delivery are unmistakable. A lion in winter, Jones has still got it. In the reinvention mode of such producers as T Bone Burnett, Rick Rubin, Dan Auerbach and Joe Henry, Jones works with Ethan Johns for their second project together. The first was 2010's well-received, blues and gospel-based Praise & Blame. Spirit in the Room is an often minimal affair, all the better to hear the richness that remains in Jones' voice. He was a 1960s and '70s sex symbol, but he also proved his soulfulness and storytelling ability way back in 1966 with his haunting rendition of "Green, Green Grass of Home," a country song previously popularized by Porter Wagoner, sung from the perspective of a remorseful convict condemned to death. For his latest album, Jones interprets songs by his contemporaries Leonard Cohen ("Tower of Song"), Tom Waits ("Bad As Me"), Bob Dylan ("When the Deal Goes Down"), Paul McCartney, Paul Simon and Richard Thompson. He also does a marvelous job with Odetta's "Hit or Miss." The Odetta song, Thompson's "Dimming of the Day" and other folk-oriented selections suggest that Spirit in the Room is Jones' folk-roots album. But it's more than that, making room for chorale singing in "Charlie Darwin" and the psychedelic-rock of Kenny Rogers' pre-country career hit, "Just Dropped In." Spirit in the Room is among the most satisfying older artist-younger producer projects. Not only that, gray suits Jones just fine. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Judge Rules Against Big Tobacco in Civil Racketeering Lawsuit
A federal judge has sided with the government in its civil racketeering lawsuit against the tobacco industry. The ruling orders tobacco companies to admit they lied about the harmful effects of cigarettes and to warn consumers that tobacco is addictive.
In a 1,653-page ruling (1,653 pages!!??), U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler said that tobacco companies violated federal racketeering laws by defrauding the public on the dangers of tobacco, but said she didn't have the authority to order major financial remedies. So while Judge Kessler ordered the companies to make corrective statements on the dangers of smoking and to disclose marketing practices to government officials, she opted not to include industry-funded smoking cessation and education programs that would have costs billions.

Based in New York City, where both individuals and businesses face extreme difficulty in standing out from the crowd, the Urlicht AudioVisual label has done some remarkable things to distinguish its individuality through an enthusiastic sense of adventure. I was particularly impressed with them last year when they released a recording of Luigi Nono's "La Lontananza nostalgica utopica futura," going to great lengths to create a recorded document of a performance of a composition that was as spatial as it was acoustic. Indeed, the impact of listening to that recording (having had the good fortune to experience that music in concert) was strong enough for me to include it on my December list of five significant recordings that had been overlooked for GRAMMY nominations.
Last December found the Urlicht pendulum swinging a great distance from one of Nono's last compositions (completed in 1989) with the release of an eight-CD box of 78 RPM recordings of performances of the music of Gustav Mahler issued between 1903 and 1940. Now, to be fair, the only one of these recordings released during Mahler's lifetime (the one from 1903) is a single aria from his completion of Carl Maria von Weber's opera Die drei Pintos, which suggests that Mahler himself probably never had the opportunity to listen to recordings of his own music. It is also worth noting that most of the performers on these recordings are likely to be unfamiliar to just about anyone without a passionate interest in the early history of audio recording.
On the other hand there is also a generous share of names whose legacy still reverberates in the present day. Most important of these is Bruno Walter, who became Mahler's assistant in 1901. Walter is represented by two major recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic and two shorter selections. His performance of the ninth symphony was recorded in concert on January 16, 1938 (only months before the Anschluss); and a complete recording of Das Lied von der Erde was made from a concert given on May 24, 1936. At that same concert contralto Kerstin Thorborg sang Mahler's setting of Friedrich Rückert's poem "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen," which was also recorded. There is also a studio recording of the fourth (Adagietto) movement from the fifth symphony made in studio on January 15, 1938.
However, this collection is also useful in documenting the work of those conductors who were early champions of Mahler's music. Some of these are familiar: There is another studio recording of the Adagietto made by Willem Mengelberg with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in May of 1926 and a studio recording of Jascha Horenstein conducting the Staatskapelle Berlin with baritone Heinrich Rehkemper in 1928. (The reader will note that specificity of recording details was far from consistent in those days.) There is also a surprising Japanese recording of the fourth symphony, made in studio in May of 1930, with Viscount (that's what the label says) Hidemaro Konoye conducting the Tokyo New Symphony Orchestra and soprano Eiko Kitazawa.
While we tend to associate initial American interest in Mahler with New York, there are also two highly impressive recordings of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The earlier of these is of the second ("Resurrection") symphony, recorded in January of 1935 with Eugene Ormandy conducting. This is one of many recordings that Ormandy made for RCA Victor prior to his move to Philadelphia. The other is a recording of the first symphony made on November 4, 1940 with Ormandy's successor in Minneapolis, Dimitri Mitropoulos.
The names of the vocalists in this collection are likely to be less familiar to most readers with the possible exception of Elisabeth Schumann, who recorded "Wer hat dies Liedlein erdacht" (from Des Knaben Wunderhorn) with pianist George Reeves on February 18, 1930.
By this time I suspect many readers will be wondering about sound quality. In this respect one must be fair and accept the fact that there is only such much that expert digital signal processing can do, at least at the present time. As a result, there tends to be limited dynamic range; but, while some instruments definitely register better than others, for the most part one hears the instruments that matter almost all of the time. On the other hand there are also some bizarre sonorities, the most memorable probably being the chimes at the end of the second symphony recording made by Oscar Fried with the Staatskapelle Berlin in 1924.
Thus, while these recordings will probably not satisfy audiophiles obsessed with the "living presence" of the music, those whose preferences run to the diverse approaches to interpreting Mahler's music will probably find these recordings irresistible and will relish all eight CDs in the collection.

Mildred Cohn begins the interview by reflecting on her childhood, education, and family life, describing how she was prepared to enter college by age fourteen. She then discusses her undergraduate experience at Hunter College, recalling the difficulties she encountered as a woman in the sciences. She continues by recounting her graduate years at Columbia, where, after working for a short time at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, she began her work with isotopes in Urey's lab. She tells of her experience working with du Vigneaud at George Washington and Cornell universities and contrasts that with the much more independent atmosphere of the Cori's lab at Washington University in St. Louis. Finally she describes her years at the University of Pennsylvania and highlights the most fulfilling aspects of her work. She concludes with her analysis of the future of biochemistry and advice for those, especially women, interested in pursuing a career in the natural sciences.

Peterborough Museum
Peterborough Museum is a fascinating and fun place to visit for all the family, right in the heart of the city centre. Having recently undergone a £3.2 million redevelopment (we open again on 31st March 2012) we're looking better than ever and 2012 is going to be an exciting year for Peterborough Heritage! General admission to the Museum is free, we hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will want to come back and see us regularly – there is always something different to see or do throughout the year. We are a Visit Britain Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance scheme attraction.
Priestgate dates back to the twelfth century (when the current town plan was set down by the monks of Peterborough abbey) and the first recorded house on the site was built in the 16th century (a grand mansion for the Orme family), although the current building dates from 1816. It was the town house of newly-weds, Thomas and Charlotte Cooke. In 1856 the Priestgate mansion was sold to the 3rd Earl Fitzwilliam who allowed it to be used as the city's first hospital, the Peterborough Infirmary, from 1857 until 1928. This impressive Georgian building became the museum in 1931 and an art gallery was added in 1939.
Many of the original Georgian features can still be seen today, as can traces of its use as a hospital - as part of the recent redevelopment, the original operating theatre has been restored and visitors will be able to visit it for the first time (the only one of its kind in the country)!
The Museum and its collections are owned by Peterborough City Council and are managed by Vivacity Culture & Leisure, a registered charitable trust.
Venue Type:
Museum, Historic house or home, Gallery, Heritage site
Open Tues-Sun 10.00-17.00

Peterborough train station is on the East Coast mainline, and the Museum is a short walk (less than 5 minutes) along a signposted route from the station. Peterborough is conveniently located just off the A1. Follow signs towards the city centre and use city centre car parks. There is limited disabled parking available on-site.
The collections housed at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery can be seen on display in the permanent galleries, in temporary exhibitions or by arrangement to view from the reserve collections.
There are over 212,000 objects, which have been collected over 130 years, now in the care of Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery. In 1968, the museum and its collections were presented to the City of Peterborough by the Museum Society (founded 1871, as the Peterborough Natural History Society and Field Club).
The collections cover a great many subjects and some are of national and international importance, such as the Norman Cross Prisoner-of-War Craft work, the Jurassic marine reptile fossils, finds from Roman Peterborough and the original manuscripts of the famous poet John Clare.

The current battle on "The Real Housewives of New York City" seems to consist of Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Aviva Drescher on one side and Heather Thomson and Carole Radziwill on the other, leaving Kristen Taekman and LuAnn de Lesseps in the middle. This may be surprising for many viewers since it was only last season when Aviva angrily lashed out at Ramona and Sonja, even going so far as calling both of them "white trash."
On Thursday, April 17, Ramona answered a fan who questioned why she and Sonja are defending Aviva despite the "white trash" incident a year ago. Ramona tweeted back that she has certainly hasn't forgotten what Aviva said about her, nor will she ever, but that it's "bigger to forgive." On Saturday, April 19, Sonja chimed in on the issue. In addition to retweeting a fan's tweet that the incident happened one night a year ago, she reminded everyone that Aviva apologized for her behavior and declared that "it's over!"
Ramona didn't always have such a forgiving attitude towards Aviva. On the premiere episode of "The Real Housewives of New York City," viewers saw how she was reluctant to be friends with Aviva again and had already decided to write her off. Yet she was persuaded to forgive Aviva by Sonja, who has always played the show's peacemaker.
Sonja and Ramona have certainly sided with Aviva in recent episodes despite what happened in the past. In one recent episode, viewers saw how Sonja and Ramona decided at very last-minute to not attend Heather's tenth anniversary party out of solidarity with Aviva, whom Heather chose not to invite. Heather's problem with Aviva began when Aviva accused her good friend Carole of using a ghostwriter. Only time will tell whether the blonds, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer and Aviva Drescher, will continue to be united against the brunettes, Heather Thomson and Carole Radziwill, by the time the reunion comes along.
