Johnson, a keen cyclist, was in London on Monday for the launch of the closed-road event when around 50,000 cyclists will be invited to pedal the eight-mile loop stretching from Tower Hill through to St James's Park taking in some of the capital's most iconic buildings.
Following the phenomenal successes of Britain's cyclists at the London Olympics and in the WorldTour, the top level of professional road cycling, London on Sunday Aug 3 will host the RideLondon-Surrey Classic which takes in much of the course from last year's road race at the Games.
Organisers will invite many of the top riders from this summer's Tour de France to the race which has been granted a International Cycling Union (UCI) license and hope to reach WorldTour status by 2016.
Around 20,000 amateur cyclists have already signed up for the RideLondon-Surrey 100 sportive that will precede the professionals along the route from Queen Elizabeth Park in east London through to Surrey.
However, the weekend will commence with a Guinness World Record attempt to create the longest single line of bikes - the current record standing at 916.
"This world-record attempt is a brilliant way to put cycling in the spotlight and I'd encourage everyone - no matter what their age or ability - to have fun and help make history on two wheels y signing up today," said Johnson.
"I will hopefully be in London on August 3 to do the RideLondon FreeCycle with the family - it looks like a great event," Johnson told Telegraph Sport on Monday.
"I go out riding with my kids and they love it, my little boy is now getting older and he loves it. He doesn't need much encouragement. He just needs his bike to have a lot of fun. My wife, too, got a new bike this year, so we all go out together and just have fun as a family.
"The resurgence of cycling in Britain over the past five to 10 years has been fantastic. We all grew up - in my generation certainly - having bikes and I think kids always enjoy riding their bikes. It has probably become more difficult in the past 25 or 30 years with the increased traffic, so I think whatever we can do to encourage more people to get out there and enjoy themselves is positive.
"It's one of those things though that everybody can do, at all levels, be that taking it very seriously or just pottering about with the family at the weekend. So seeing people get the opportunity to ride around London with their kids will be just great."
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson, whose office in partnership with Surrey County Council, added that the RideLondon FreeCycle "promises to be one of the best weekends of the summer.
"There is no better way to enjoy the capital than on two wheels and this summer's RideLondon FreeCycle is the perfect opportunity to dust off your bike, jump into the saddle and get pedalling," he said.
"With eight miles of traffic free roads passing some of this city's most iconic sites we're expecting thousands of cyclists to turn out for what promises to be one of the best weekends of the summer. So whether you're young or old, cycle mad or as rusty as your old bike, this is the cycling event for everyone."

A witch appears to be screaming out into space in this new image from NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. The infrared portrait shows the Witch Head nebula, named after its resemblance to the profile of a wicked witch.
Astronomers say the billowy clouds of the nebula, where baby stars are brewing, are being lit up by massive stars. Dust in the cloud is being hit with starlight, causing it to glow with infrared light, which was picked up by WISE's detectors.
The Witch Head nebula is estimated to be hundreds of light-years away in the Orion constellation, just off the famous hunter's knee.
WISE was recently "awakened" to hunt for asteroids in a program called NEOWISE. The reactivation came after the spacecraft was put into hibernation in 2011, when it completed two full scans of the sky, as planned.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Alopecia, or hair loss, is a very common side effect of most forms of chemotherapy. Hair loss occurs as a result of the chemotherapy agents penetrating the hair follicle, causing the hair shaft to break at the root. Hair is lost not only from the head, but eyebrows, eyelashes, facial, and pubic hair is also lost. Depending on the age and sex of the child, this can be a very distressing side effect of chemotherapy. Younger children may not be bothered by hair loss, but the school-age child and teenager may be devastated.
Hair loss usually occurs one to three weeks into treatment, depending on the specific agents being given. Once the hair begins to fall out, it will continue to be lost in large clumps. The child may be bald within a few days.
Hair usually begins to grow about six weeks after completion of treatment. The hair may look different when it returns. The color or texture may be different than before treatment began.
There are several things you can do for your child when he/she is losing his/her hair. Younger children may not want to fuss with a wig or hats, while the more appearance-conscious child may want to consider these alternatives:

Harun Yahya's Atlas Of Creation
The entire list
Dünyadan Yankılar-Haberler
In its 3 August, 2007, edition The Christian Science Monitor, which enjoys enormous prestige among Christians and American conservatives, made the Atlas of Creation its cover story. The report in the journal, which is distributed worldwide and has a circulation of 100,000, was titled "Islamic creationist group launches glitzy, global blitz." The Internet site containing the same report is noteworthy for its large number of visitors – 1.8 million a month. The report, which occupied a full page, read:
A household name in Turkey, the "Foundation for Scientific Research" is now distributing its books – published in 59 languages including Chinese and Swahili – to 80 countries.
On a recent afternoon inside Istanbul"s busiest subway station, a young man beckoned commuters into a subterranean "fossil exhibit" full of skulls and insects dating back millions of years.
But this was no mainstream scientific display. One colorful poster advertised the "myth" of the evolution of the horse. Another, displaying a flying pterodactyl, denounced the evolution of birds as "fake."
The display is one of many traveling shows put on by the Foundation for Scientific Research, an Islamic creationist group that has become a household name in Turkey. Now, the groups [sic] says it is distributing its books – published in 59 languages including Arabic, Chinese, Swahili, and Polish – to 80 countries.
"Turkey is now the headquarters of creationism in the Islamic World. This is no longer only Turkey"s problem, it is now the problem of the whole civilized world," says Haluk Ertan, a professor of molecular biology at Istanbul University. He"s one of a handful of Turkish scientists who have been working to counter creationism"s spread in the country.
Emboldened by its success at home over the past decade, the foundation, known by its Turkish acronym BAV (for Bilim Arastirma Vakfi), is now aggressively trying to export its unique brand of Islamic creationism well beyond the borders of Turkey to the Middle East, Europe, and even the United States.
In the past year, BAV has blanketed several European countries and the US with its glossy "Atlas of Creation," a lavish 768-page tome weighing more than 13 pounds, sending it to scientists, professors, journalists, and schoolteachers.
One member of the organization estimates that it distributed well over 20,000 copies of the "Atlas," which, like all of the group"s books, is written under the name of Harun Yahya. Amazon.com hosts a virtual bookstore that sells "Atlas" ($99) and other Yahya books, and booksellers across Europe have it on their shelves.
"Every Islamic bookshop I know of stocks Harun Yahya"s material. It is so glossily produced. It is very attractive and very colorful and outclasses everything else," says Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim British Council, speaking by phone from London.
"It is having an effect. Even among Muslim medical students there are a number now who are speaking out against Darwin."
In France, the Harun Yahya book offensive led the government to issue a warning for schools to be on the look out for the "Atlas" before it makes it into their classrooms. Meanwhile, the increasing European activity of the BAV, as well as of Christian creationist groups, recently prompted a committee of the Council of Europe – a 47-nation group that acts as a kind of continental watchdog – to issue a report strongly warning about its dangers to education.
"Today, creationists of all faiths are trying to get their ideas accepted in Europe. As a result, we have seen several initiatives from these various movements on the Eurasian continent in the last few years, with schools apparently the main target," the report, released in June, said.
Blames Darwinism for terrorism
In real life, Harun Yahya is a 51-year-old former interior design student named Adnan Oktar. Since founding the BAV in 1990, Mr. Oktar has been responsible for ushering more than 250 books into print… The series includes titles such as "The Dark Spell of Darwinism" and "Why Darwinism is Incompatible with the Koran."
"Oktar's brand of creationism is not only religious, but also political and even messianic, seeing most of the world's ills – terrorism and fascism among them – as stemming from Darwin's theory of evolution.
"Hitler, Mao, and Lenin were Darwinists. At the root of wild capitalism is also Darwinism. I think if we no longer believe in Darwinism, people will no longer be conditioned to believe in those things," the normally reclusive Oktar said during a recent press conference, held aboard a hired yacht cruising Istanbul"s Bosphorus strait.
"Folks, there is no such thing as what you call evolution. If there was, it would be in the Holy Bible or the Koran," added Oktar, dressed in an ivory-white raw silk suit and wearing gold cufflinks and a matching gold belt buckle with Arabic inscriptions on them.
"The sweet dream of the Darwinists and the world is to ban my books," Oktar said, sipping glass after glass of sour cherry juice. "What I"m saying is true. They cannot disprove it."
Unlike fundamentalist Christian creationists, Oktar does not claim the earth was created only a few thousand years ago. Instead, he argues that fossils show that creatures from millions of years ago looked just like the creatures of today, thus disproving evolution.
Harmonizing modernity, Islam
Professor Edis says the success ofthe Harun Yahya books, at least in the Islamic world, can be attributed to a need for harmonizing modern life with traditional Islamic beliefs.
"Something has to reconcile these two things and it becomes very attractive when someone comes out with a well-packaged message, that they can have both – be fully modern and at the same have science … affirm most of their very deeply held religious and ethical perceptions," says Edis…
"That"s a pretty attractive package and that"s mostly what the Harun Yahya material provides," he says.
In Turkey, Oktar and his books certainly appear to be having an impact. When Science magazine conducted a survey of 34 countries last August, Turkey had the second-lowest acceptance rate of the theory of evolution (the United States had the lowest).
Personal views of Yigal Schleifer, the correspondent of the journal who wrote the report, were related under the title "Floating Press Conference":
Correspondent Yigal Schleifer gives the Islamist creationist Adnan Oktar credit for flair and securing a captive audience. He hosted a press briefing for about 20 journalists on a boat on the Bosphorus Strait near Istanbul. "We boarded, then picked him up on the other side of the Bosphorus. He arrived dressed in a white suit with gold cuff links and belt buckle," he says. Several hours and a luncheon buffet later, the journalists left with a "gift bag" of DVDs and more books on creationism.

College Hockey:Princeton Wins First Ivy Title in Over a Decade
Seniors Jackson, Gaudiel Star in Shutout Win over Yale
PRINCETON, N.J. — Heather Jackson, the senior, two-time co-captain of the No. 6 Princeton Tigers, is the type of player that real hockey fans enjoy watching. She is a tireless, hard worker who does not put up flashy numbers but never misses a game. It was therefore fitting that she scored two huge third-period goals to salt away a 3-0 win over Yale at Hobey Baker Rink that clinched the Tigers' first Ivy title since 1995 and their first outright title since 1992.
Senior goaltender Roxanne Gaudiel also came up big in her final regular-season home game, with a shutout and 20 saves, several of which elicited gasps of astonishment from the partisan crowd.
"It was a perfect ending," Gaudiel said. "Heather Jackson, senior, getting two humongous goals and everyone just playing really well, really great defense."
Jackson made the score 2-0 halfway through the third period when she knocked in a rebound off a shot by freshman Annie Greenwood on the power play. Just over two minutes later, Jackson struck again, this time on a perfect feed by sophomore MaryKate Oakley.
"Jacko has had an amazing career," Princeton coach Jeff Kampersal said, "but just in the second half she's been really tough, really on fire. More offensive than she's been in a while, whether she's scoring or getting shots on goal. She digs pucks out of corners, she blocks shots, she basically does it all. Her influence, along with those other seniors, rubs off on the other players."
The win was the seventh in a row for Princeton (19-6-4, 15-3-2 ECACHL), and it snapped a five-game winless streak against Yale.
"Yale's been a thorn in our side for so long," Kampersal said, "and they really pressured us tonight. Our strength is our breakout, and they hemmed us in our zone pretty well and we finally started chipping out over their D, and it helped. They gave us all we could handle."
Yale (11-13-5, 8-8-4 ECACHL) fought gallantly, and their senior goaltender, Sarah Love, was equally brilliant. Both teams had numerous chances, including a breakaway by Jackson that Love snuffed in the first period. But just past halfway gone in the same period, Tiger sophomore Sonja Novak dove onto the ice and at full extension got enough stick on the puck to slide it in the side of the goal.
The second period and most of the third was an entertaining display of well-played hockey with sterling defensive work and more outstanding saves by both goalies. During one Yale power play, Love knocked the puck away on a shorthanded Princeton 2-on-1. Yale zipped back with a 3-on-1, but he resulting shot settled harmlessly in Gaudiel's glove.
Princeton still clung to the 1-0 lead, until Jackson put the game away in the third.
"I was nervous the whole game," Jackson said. "I found myself freezing up a lot. Everyone was pretty nervous, especially the first two periods. And then in the third period I think everyone realized what was on the line, and we got psyched."
In the final minutes, Love was pulled and Yale had an extra skater, but they could not solve Gaudiel.
"This is a good team we played today," Yale coach Hilary Witt said. "They're sixth in the nation and they're number two in our league, what are you going to do? The kids played hard, you can't ask much more than that."
"We kept it in the zone," Witt added. "But what we don't do very often is shoot, and you gotta shoot to score."
The game was played on Senior Day, and five seniors, including Jackson and Gaudiel, were honored before the action. The others graduating are Sarah Butsch, Tarah Clark, and Chrissie Norwich. This class has had more wins than any other in Princeton history.
"All year it's been easy for me as a coach," Kampersal said. "We have five seniors who lead by example, make our job easier, and they basically run the show."
When asked if this was his best class in his ten years as Princeton coach, Kampersal said, "I think there's been more talented ones, but this one, by far and away, has had the most heart and cohesiveness. These kids really get it."
Next for both teams are the ECAC quarterfinals on Friday. Princeton will host Colgate, while Yale will travel to St. Lawrence. Both games are at 7 p.m.

People with big money do not get disciplined/penalized. It's part of the American way. White collar crime is not really crime, just some 1%er taking advantage of another poor sucker.
If this executive was not given his failure bonus then all of the lay-offs could have been avoided. Instead another executive was likely given a bonus greater than the salaries of all the laid off people, this salary was to cover the pain and suffering of needing to lay off so many good cheap workers.
Too Big to Fail: An Executive Suite True-Life Tale
If a blunder you committed cost your employer $4 million, how long would you stay employed? In America today, a CEO can cost his company $4 billion and still collect both a paycheck and a bonus.
People in America get fired all the time. Break too many plates as a dishwasher, lose too many games as a coach, miss too many deadlines as a reporter, you're going to be history.
We need this accountability. We couldn't function, as a healthy society, without it. But accountability has to be universal. To create and sustain excellence, no society can hold only some people accountable — and give others a free pass.
Yet some societies — deeply unequal societies — do give out free passes. All the time. In these unequal societies, grand accumulations of wealth translate into grand accumulations of power. The powerful make their own rules. They rig daily life's games. They come out winners no matter how poorly they play.
Consider Randall Stephenson, the chief exec at telecom giant AT&T. Stephenson had a bad year in 2011. A really bad year. His decisions cost AT&T over $4 billion. What price did Stephenson pay for this debacle? Last week we learned that price — and much more about the dysfunction that defines us.
Our story starts back last March when CEO Stephenson triumphantly announced that AT&T had just closed a deal to buy T-Mobile, the American wireless phone subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Telekom.
Stephenson clearly wanted T-Mobile in the worst way. The $39 billion purchase price he agreed to pay for the wireless carrier amounted to almost double the $23.2 billion value that analysts on Wall Street had placed on the company the previous December.
Stephenson also agreed to pay Deutsche Telekom a $4.2 billion "break-up fee" should his deal for T-Mobile fail to gain the necessary antitrust approvals from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission.
That fee amounted to a substantially greater share of the T-Mobile takeover price than the typical break-up fee in a major acquisition deal. Stephenson must have figured that AT&T couldn't possibly fail to gain a green-light from regulators.
His optimism did make a certain sense. AT&T had been working hard to tip the eventual regulatory decision. With a Capitol Hill lobbying army of over 90 power suits, including former GOP Senate leader Trent Lott, AT&T boasted what the Washington Post called one of the nation's "most muscular" political operations.
Stephenson had a line into the White House as well. Bill Daley, then White House chief of staff, had been both a top exec at a phone company that merged into AT&T and an executive with JPMorgan Chase, the Wall Street bank that stood to make hundred of millions in fees from brokering the T-Mobile takeover.
That takeover, once approved, would instantly make AT&T by far the nation's largest wireless carrier — and ensure Stephenson one of the largest payday windfalls in telecom history.
But both the Justice Department and the FCC would balk at the takeover as public — and rival corporate — pressure against it mounted. This past December, Stephenson folded and took the takeover offer off the table. AT&T would swallow hard and pay out to Deutsche Telekom the $4.2 billion break-up charge.
The enormity of "billions" can be difficult to comprehend. How much in real assets did Stephenson's T-Mobile fiasco cost AT&T? Try this analogy.
Imagine a terribly disgruntled AT&T employee out to inflict as much damage on the company as he possible could.
This troubled employee picks up a sledgehammer and walks up and down the aisles of an AT&T mobile phone warehouse, smashing one $100 phone box after another. He can smash 10 boxes a minute, 600 an hour. After an eight-hour day, he has inflicted $480,000 worth of destruction.
How long would this destructive demon have to keep that sledgehammer swinging to do as much damage to AT&T's bottom line as CEO Randall Stephenson's $4.2 billion T-Mobile merger break-up? Another 8,749 days.
The disgruntled employee in this parable, needless to say, would be fired — and spend no small amount of time in prison. The actual penalty on Stephenson? Did he lose his job for costing AT&T all those billions?
Not even close. Stephenson, AT&T corporate disclosures revealed last Tuesday, didn't even lose his bonus. AT&T paid the CEO, for his 2011 chief executive labors,$1.6 million in base salary, $3.8 billion in cash bonus "incentive award," and $12.7 million in stock compensation.
"AT&T is committed to paying for performance and the compensation reflects that," the telecom's McCall Butler told reporters last week after the release of Stephenson's pay figures.
How could a $22 million take-home reflect an appropriate reward for a "performance" that cost AT&T $4.2 billion? The AT&T board, company flacks explained, did absolutely penalize Stephenson for his performance. The board reduced his bonus $2.08 million from what the top exec could have received.
Interesting penalty. Stephenson saw his pay drop less than 9 percent for an executive performance that dropped AT&T annual earnings by 52 percent.
AT&T shareholders can't be too happy about that. But other stakeholders in AT&T also have reason these days to feel a bit out of joint. Customers, for instance.
In Connecticut last year, the state Department of Public Utility Control levied a $1.1 million fine against AT&T for poor customer service. Last fall, AT&T customers in Connecticut went up to six days without phone service after a "Nor'easter" blew through the state. Why the delay? Telephone workers had to be called up from the South to make the necessary repairs.
AT&T in Connecticut, notes local AT&T union president Bill Henderson, has cut more than 2,500 positions over the last four years.
AT&T layoffs have spread beyond Connecticut. In Georgia earlier this month, phone workers and Occupy Atlanta activists joined to stage a sit-in to protest 740 layoffs AT&T's Atlanta office had announced in December.
AT&T officials say the layoffs in Georgia — and elsewhere — simply reflect the falling market share of landline phones. CEO Stephenson had one of his vice presidents tell protesting Atlanta workers that "like any responsible business, we must work consistently to match our workforce to the needs of the business."
Workers, in short, must be accountable to the marketplace. The way of an unequal world. Somebody has to be accountable.

Lutes Casino -- really, a restaurant/bar/pool hall -- has been in business in one form or another in Yuma, Arizona since 1901. Back then, it was the Wild West, Arizona Territory! Of course there was illegal gambling and what-not going on. They have the oldest, continuously running pool hall in the State of Arizona. I was happy to be hosted to experience it.
These days, busloads of people from all around (they're right near the California border) come see the lively place decorated with old signs, license plates, pictures and posters. People come to watch the people, too! A piano player with shirt garters plays old-timey favorites. The pool tables are still there. The men's restroom has one way glass in the door, allowing pool players to look out at the tables, to be sure no one is disturbing the order of the game. The ladies room, not to be outdone, I suppose, has advertisements for a wedding chapel.
The cuisine can best be described as "3rd grade girls' pajama party" with hotdogs placed on hamburgers, chili cheese fries, potato tacos -- for that extra carb loading. But unlike a girls' sleepover, at least they've got a liquor license to wash it all down.

Since spreading large deposits among different banks has always been the only way to keep everything FDIC insured, and since that's been a common money management practice long before CDARS existed, how did CDARS not be considered obvious and duplicating practices already in use?
Looking specifically at the '522 patent, the key feature that was viewed as new and non-obvious had to do with an automatic arrangement between a set of unaffiliated banks to reciprocally move depositors money between them and keep track of not hitting the limits taking into account that a depositor might already have accounts at some of the banks. As mentioned in my comment, this application was done under an accelerated program that requires the applicant to put themselves on the record as to what they think they have that is new and non-obvious.
In the normal case an applicant submits, the examiner rejects on some particular grounds and the applicant only responds to the rejection. With this type of accelerated examination the burden is on the applicant to do a comprehensive search (the file history has a 28+ page list of all the search strings used and what it turned up). Then the applicant has to point out what is new above and beyond what was found. From the accelerated examination support document, they think the closest references are:
Again, in normal U.S. prosecution there is no requirement for the applicant to point out what they regard as the closest references.
Their highlighting (underlined in original - bolded here) on what makes claim 1 novel is:
It seems like the basic idea is that you, the depositor, go into one bank and give them a lot of money and they, transparent to you, automatically spread it out to other banks, while the other banks are doing the same. And they figure out the interest rate they can give you by using a weighted average of the various interest rates the other banks provide. Everybody wins. Of course the two independent claims are the broadest and therefor the most susceptible to, at some point, being knocked out. However the dependent claims do go into quite a bit of detail.
The other two patents went through the system normally and cover other aspects - I have not looked at them in any detail.

Toby Stevenson enters his second season as an assistant coach for the pole vault and multi-events. Stevenson made his return to The Farm for the 2010 season as a former legend of the sport during his athletic career that included an NCAA title in the pole vault and Olympic Silver Medal for the United States at the 2004 Athens Games.
"It is great to have Toby back on The Farm. He is a young, energetic coach, who is very efficient in the pole vault and the multi's, said Franklin P. Johnson Director of Track and Field Edrick Floreal. "In the short time he has been here he has turned around the pole vault program, making clear he is not just a former athlete, but a true coach."
In his first season, Stevenson made an immediate impact, leading Katerina Stefanidi to a pair of All-America honors in the pole vault. The Cardinal sophomore tied for fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and tied for fifth at the NCAA Indoor meet. In addition, she set new school records both indoors and outdoors of 14-1 ¼. Stevenson also helped Casey Roche on the men's side to a new career best of 17-3 that ranks third all-time at Stanford. In addition, Stevenson worked with a young multi-event group that showed promise, including Karynn Dunn scoring at the Pac-10 meet as a freshman.
As an athlete, Stevenson captured his NCAA title in Buffalo, N.Y. in 1998. Overall, he was a six-time All-American on The Farm, earning honors both indoors and outdoors in the pole vault from 1998-2000. Stevenson also remains the Stanford record holder in the pole vault with a mark of 18-9 ¼, which he established in 2000.
Stevenson went on to have a standout professional career, highlighted by an Olympic Silver Medal at the Athens Games in 2004. He has also been a World Championships participant and a former U.S. Champion.
Stevenson coached for two seasons at Stanford following his own collegiate career. He was an assistant coach for the pole vault and multi-events for the Cardinal in 2001 and 2002. During that time, he coached Kathleen Donoghue to back-to-back All-America honors in the pole vault. He is a 2000 graduate of Stanford.

The Whidbey Island Distillery, owned by Steve and Bev Heising, is now in its fourth year of operation. What began as a fun activity for former engineer, Steve, has evolved into the production of award-winning berry liqueurs.
Their most recent additions were a Raspberry Liqueur in 2012, followed by a Blackberry Liqueur in 2013. Their signature Loganberry Liqueur was a awarded a Gold Medal and a 94 "Exceptional" rating by the Beverage Tasting Institute in 2013. A detailed review is at the Beverage Tasting institute website: http://www.tastings.com/scout_spirits.lasso?id=203507
All three of these liqueurs are now available at the tasting room on Craw Road in Langley.
Three years into retirement, Steve decided he wanted to start a business, and it was important to him that he produced a tangible product.
After many discussions, Beverly notes, "We came up with this crazy idea to start a distillery; the laws just changed in Washington to allow craft distilleries. This license requires that you use 51% or more Washington Grown products," and Steve proudly adds, "We have managed to use close to 90% Washington products in our Loganberry liqueur."
The Heisings found an ideal 9-acre property in Langley with several out buildings that are being restored one at a time, that is just what they needed for a home and for the distillery, and it provides good highway access and a unique and beautiful setting.
Whidbey Island Distillery is also a family business. The Heisings were able to complete the licensing, formulate recipes, market the product, and handle "the incredible amount of paper work," while son Jim designed the Whidbey Island Distillery website, the labels, branding and overall all design aspects of the business.
Steve dove into his new professional identity with enthusiasm and a true desire to create a unique product. With the combination of experience and talents in the Heising family, they were able to produce a viable commercial product. Steve admits that he's had a great time designing and building new distillation technology. He invented a fully automated continuous still, which he has named the "Heising 330", in honor of the date and afternoon - March 30th 2011 at 3:30 – when the still produced its first drop at 190 proof. This unique still is able to run for days at a time, unattended and can even turn itself on and off.
Steve Heising is hard at work developing and distilling their first whiskey. He just finished the Heising 510 Distillery, and the Heisings plan to begin selling "Whidskey" (a copywritten name), which they believe is destined to start a new Whidbey Island tradition.
The Whidbey Island Distillery at 3466 Craw Road in Langley is open for distillery tours and free tastings on Saturday and Sunday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, and by appointment by calling 360-321-4715, or emailing email@example.com. Visit the website at www.whidbeydistillery.com.

On Tuesday, January 26, Archbishop Listecki celebrated a Mass of welcome at St. Alphonsus parish in Greendale, Wis.
The fourth in a series of "regional celebrations" scheduled throughout the southeast Wisconsin area, they give Milwaukee area Catholics an opportunity to meet the new face of the local Catholic Church and gives Listecki an opportunity to get a feel for the parishes he will be shepherding. Each of the liturgies will be celebrated at 7 pm and are followed by a reception.
Highly anticipated and heavily attended, parishoners at St. Alphonsus in Greendale seemed eager to meet the new archbishop, and Listecki took the opportunity to emphasize the familial nature of the Catholic faith.
In his homily, based on the Gospel of Mark (3:31-35), Listecki reminded the congregation of the importance of family, both biological and spiritual. Calling us the "family of God created through Jesus Christ", Listecki described the family as a place where we belong, are welcomed, fed and loved. "[It is] no great secret why we should love God," Listecki said, adding, "the mystery is God loves us."
Listecki finished his homily by expressing his gratitude for the warm welcome he recieved, said he looked forward to earning the trust and respect of the Catholic community, and that he looked forward to being family with us.
After the Mass, Listecki met parishioners in St. Alphonsus church hall, taking time to shake hands, talk, and be photographed with every person who waited in an extremely long line to meet him (photos of the event will appear on the St. Alphonsus website). Warm and approachable, Listecki said that his message to Catholics differs at each celebration, but that his focus at Tuesday's mass was stressing the "importance of the relationship with the church."
Two more regional celebrations are scheduled for the southeast Wisconsin area. The next mass is scheduled for Thursday, January 28 at 7 pm at St. Francis Cabrini in West Bend and the last is scheduled for Monday, February 1 at 7 pm at St. Paul Parish in Racine. A reception will follow both masses.

Todd Esthman reports on Vera's "The Price of Prisons" and interview SUNY Brockport's Korni Swaroop Kumar, director of the university's Department of Criminal Justice.
The report titled "The Price of Prisons" found New York state spent almost
$812.5 million more on prison related costs in fiscal 2010 than the $2.7 billion indicated in the Department of Correctional Services (now the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision) budget.
The primary additional costs to support the prison system were found in pension contributions for correctional employees, retiree health care contributions, employee benefits and underfunded health care contributions.
"As states continue to deal with serious budget constraints, it's critical that policy makers, corrections officials, taxpayers, and legislators know exactly what their prisons cost," said Vera Institute Director Michael Jacobson.
Korni Swaroop Kumar, director of the Department of Criminal Justice at the State University of New York at Brockport, said the DOCS doesn't give a clear picture as to how it allocates resources, and items such as pension contributions and benefit costs should be included in the corrections budget.
"Not only do you have to maintain an inmate, but when you build a prison you also have to have employees for supervision and guidance and the cost for that should be in the corrections budget," he said.
Kumar noted that the cost is included in the correctional budgets of many other states.

Second-year head coach Curtis Johnson reviewed last week's win over Jackson State and looked ahead to South Alabama during his weekly press conference.
Sep 3, 2013
Video Of Tuesday's Tulane Football Press Conference
NEW ORLEANS - Following a morning practice at the New Orleans Saints Indoor Facility, second-year Tulane head football coach Curtis Johnson took the podium to address the local media during his weekly press conference on Tuesday afternoon at the James W. Wilson Center.
Johnson reviewed the 34-7 season-opening win over Jackson State, looked ahead to next week's home gain against South Alabama, and talked about his team's progress over the last few practices. One thing he focused on was the performance of the Green Wave ground game, which posted the most yards by a Tulane team since the 2011 season.
While Tulane's 24-point margin of victory was the largest for an opening-day win since 1953, Johnson was quick to point out that it was just one of what he envisions as several benchmarks throughout the 2013 campaign. South Alabama comes to town 0-1 after dropping a 22-21 decision to Southern Utah.
Kickoff for the Tulane/South Alabama contest is slated for Saturday, Sept. 7, at 2:30 p.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. For tickets to that game, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.
TULANE HEAD COACH Curtis Johnson
Opening statement
"Thanks for coming today. As you know, it was a good week for us after winning our opener last week. We are really excited. I love the uniforms. We've heard more good than bad about the uniforms. One thing I know, back in 1987 - back before most of you guys in here were born - we played UCLA and they had these powder-blue uniforms. I couldn't see the numbers for nothing. I just wanted to emulate them a little bit (laughing)."
On Devon Walker's impact emotionally to the win on Thursday and how much Walker will be around during the year
"I'm going to try and get him here as much as I can - home games, road games, whatever we can do. He's just such an inspiration to all of us. Going into the game, he gave the most magnificent speech. He told the guys, `Hey look, my football games are over. But now, you guys can live your dreams out.' It was just classic Devon. He's a classy guy. He's very, very spiritual. I love having him around us. I think he's perfect for the team. He's one of us and he's just like anyone else on the team."
Looking back on Walker's injury almost a year after it happened
"What strikes me the most when reflecting on it, there's something bigger than football. Football is such a large part of our lives here, but this young man's life changed. And then, how courageous he is in what he does daily. You can't fathom what he and his family goes through all the time. Sometimes it's heartbreaking, but sometimes I rejoice because he's so positive."
On Nick Montana's performance in the season opener
"We're going to improve as a team on deep balls. I thought we left a lot out on the field. I thought we should have connected on more. It wasn't all Nick's fault. The receivers, the blockers and a variety of different things we've got to improve on. But I really liked how he took command in the huddle. He got us into the right checks. Like I've said, he can ad lib. He can make some stuff happen that we probably wouldn't have had happen. He makes our offensive line look better already. I really like what Nick is bringing to the table. He picked up the blitz real well. He's doing some things and he'll get better and better each week."
On not being sure of South Alabama's quarterback situation heading into Saturday's game against the Jaguars
"For them, I know they've got the two guys who have been playing. I think we kind of have to split the plays up of what they like to run. The kid who wears jersey No. 2 (Ross Metheny), he's more of a drop-back. He's a thrower. He moves the team. But this No. 7 (Brandon Bridge) can spoil our day because he's a runner. He loves to run with the ball. When they're in the game, we just have to plan differently for each of those guys."
On the running game's production against Jackson State
"We were poor last year in the running game. I think we have to challenge the offensive line. We have to challenge those backs. We've got to run. Orleans (Darkwa), I liked what he did. He had yards after contact, and that's one of the most important things for a good running back to have. I think the line blocked for him pretty well. There were some cases where they missed some stuff. All in all, it was a good day rushing the ball but I'd like to get more. There's more out there on the table in the running game also."
On the amount of FCS teams beating FBS teams last week and if the gap is closing between the two divisions
"When you talk about how the gap closes, here is how it happens. All of a sudden, teams get on a roll. They get hot and they get more and more recruits. Recruiting is the thing that is beginning to change. Kids are committing earlier, so the team is out in front and ahead can really change a program around pretty rapidly. I think that's what those teams are doing. You look at Southern Utah (which defeated South Alabama last week), they've got some fine players out there and they're not just getting them at the end (of the recruiting process). They're getting some guys. If you don't stay up with the recruiting, you're going to fall a little bit behind."
On which offensive linemen stood out last week against Jackson State
"I liked what Zach Morgan did. We didn't have very many mentals on the offensive line because he got us the right plays and got us blocking the right guys at the right times. I thought he did an outstanding job. Arturo (Uzdavinis) played well. It was his first start and he was nervous. I thought he was going to stay in the tunnel, but he played well. It didn't look like he wanted to come out, but he really played well for a first-time starter and that defensive end was a pretty good player he played against. I thought those two guys probably were standout. Chris Taylor, again, played about half of the snaps. I thought he played with a lot of emotion. He made some mentals but he played hard."
On how newcomer Jeremy Peeples has looked in practice
"He can run. He's playing on Saturday. I hope that he can give us an outside speed rusher. I like this Tyler Gilbert, now. He came and he was close a lot and put pressure on. But with Peeples if we can get two outside speed rushers - especially in third down situations - that'll make our program that much better."
On the return of suspended players
"(Todd) Jacquet is back this week. I'm sitting (Sean) Donnelly out this week. I'm sitting Zach Davis out again this week, and Jordan Batiste for a half. It was team policies. They've got to learn. Jacuqet is back. He's ready ready. He's full force. He's starting."
On the injury situation
"Edward Williams did a little bit more. I'm excited to see him. I don't know if he'll go this week. (Kedrick) Banks is stealing money from me. He's just on the sideline, taking all of my money. Sherman (Badie) is making progress, but I don't know if he's going to be ready to go either."
On possibly being able to open 2-0 for the first time since 2002
"The game we play of that week, with our team and how we are, has to be the biggest game in the world to us. That's one of the things we've talked about. If you want to turn this into something special, you've got to win the next one. Then, next week, we've got to win the next one. Then we've got to win the next one. Here's the deal. We've got to go out there and this team (South Alabama) is going to be fired up. As Sean Payton would tell me all the time, the most desperate team usually wins. Well this team is going to be desperate. They're 0-1. What we've got to do is we have to match their intensity, come out and play our game and I think we'll be fine."
On the "targeting" incident involving sophomore cornerback Lorenzo Doss
"He's playing. I got a message from the head official that it was a perfectly legal hit. He shouldn't have been ejected. What we have to do is we have to get our replay people up to speed. They need to replay it right after, right after, right after a million times for us. And then when the other team has a violation, then don't replay it (laughing)."
On the health of sophomore defensive tackle Calvin Thomas
"He's coming along well. I don't know when he'll actually be back in the mix and the rotation. He's coming along probably slower than everybody else, but he's starting to make some progress."
On having a new deep snapper this season and the issues he saw in the opener
"You're always concerned about the kicking game. I thought Cairo (Santos) was fantastic last year and I don't want to throw Cairo off. It comes down to the one statement that I can say: we just have to practice, practice, practice. As a true freshman coming in, he's handling our snapping duties for us. I thought Peter Picerelli caught some acrobatic snaps. Last year, he let the one snap go. It was a worse snap last year than it was the other night. But I thought it's coming along. This young guy is getting better and better every day. We're going to stay with him and work with him. I'm not going to mention his name until he does something good."
On what he expects from South Alabama
"It's going to be their best game of the year. If they can play with 15, they will because they're going to be everywhere. They're going to be flying around and they're going fired up. We just need to withstand the initial assault and just continue to play our game. I like our chances against them."
On if the targeting rule has changed the way he coaches defense
"The NFL is seeing it right now, and we'll see it again also. You've got to almost tell them to tackle low and you've got to tackle with your head up. If you don't hit with the crown of your helmet and you tackle low, cut the legs out - the one kid got hurt earlier in the preseason - and that's what the game is coming to. You've just got tackle low."
On if he is happy with the team's depth at wide receiver
"I thought the receivers had a good camp all camp long. (Justyn) Shackleford, (Xavier) Rush and (Ryan) Grant played well last year. They've gotten a lot better. I thing (Devon) Breaux came along well. That was one of the best catches I've seen. I didn't see Lance Moore and those guys jump over a guy like he did the other night. With (Kedrick) Banks coming along, and (Devin) Boutte has stepped up his game, we've got some receivers who are playing well for us."
On Montana throwing only 14 times in the season opener and if that was his target number of pass attempts
"I think the first thing I talk to this team about every day is we've got to run the ball. If we can run it a little bit more effectively, he'll be great in the play-action pass. He's really good at movement plays like the sprint outs and stuff like that. Then, when we have to, we'll work some drop-back stuff. But I like a 50-50 balance. I'm glad that we ran the ball, and we ran it better. Now, we've got to run it even better this week."
On if he feels wide receivers are excited to play for him with his background as a receivers coach
"Here's the thing that happened with the receivers. I think they probably took the other way because Grant was in my doghouse for a large part of last year. Shackleford couldn't do anything right. I wanted to run Rush out of here. It was just that with me being so hard on them, I think they've gotten better and they're beginning to understand. The reason that I was so hard on them is that I want them to be great. Now, they're beginning to get better and better and better, and Keith Williams has done a great job with them."
On if he is concerned about the yardage total allowed to Jackson State
"I'm not really concerned with them out-gaining us as much as getting off the field on third down. I think their third-down percentage was 50 percent and I thought that was a no no for us. That's something we're going to address. We didn't do much stuff on third down to them last week. We're going to probably mix it up a little bit this week and you'll see a couple of different looks. We'll be a little bit different."
On if he thought Montana was jittery and did not see the field as well as he could have
"No, it wasn't quite as much. The thing that left a bitter taste in my mouth - and you're going to miss some guys - but I just think the deep-ball throws to the wide receivers was a thing I came away from thinking `Gosh, we've got to address this.' When we got on the (practice) field, the first thing we're running is deep balls. I'm yelling at them, `Deep ball. Deep ball. Deep ball.' I'm yelling. The receivers are going to be tired this week, but we've got to complete those."
On the progress of the Yulman Stadium's construction
"It funny you said that. We'll have recruits in, and most people will say `We're getting a new stadium.' The first thing I do is I walk them on the balcony and say, `Hey look, this is what we're doing.' It's coming up and it's coming up quick. They're working like us. They're here and we're here. I hear the beating all the time, but it's exciting. It's very exciting for us."
On how he is handling practice with a longer week to prepare for South Alabama and a short week for Louisiana Tech
"What we've done is we've game-planned stuff that will be effective for both teams. Our game plan this week is a little bit longer. It's one of Sean Payton's tricks. At the beginning of next week, we'll begin to move stuff over to the next opponent. Even up until Friday night, we'll begin to just move stuff over to Louisiana Tech that we know we're going to run - stuff that we're good at. The game plans are just a little bit bigger this week."
On if he plans to unveil any more uniform wrinkles during the 2013 season
"We're going to definitely do some things different. We like the uniform right now, and once we get this uniform thing go over, we'll try and work a few more things in there. Right now, we're just going to keep it at the uniforms. I'm getting yelled at for the uniforms, but the uniforms are fine. I just don't like to get yelled at from everybody about, `Well, I don't like the uniform,' but we'll get used to the uniform. There will be some other things going on. I don't want to give all of my secrets away."
On if there is anything on the uniform to honor Devon Walker
"Yes, there's a decal. We may do something else for him. I love the idea for the flag coming out with him. I couldn't do much better than his pre-game speech. It was awesome. I almost cried. We've got his spot, we've got his locker and we had his jersey on him. It was good. It was a good night for him."

Use of the Zenit launch vehicle allowed the overall mass of the Meteor-3M spacecraft to be increased to 2,500 kg, including a larger payload of up to 900 kg. In addition, the average daily power available nearly doubled to 1 kW, and the spacecraft stabilization accuracy was improved by an order of magnitude. Pointing accuracy was improved. Satellite design lifetime increased to three years.
The store and forward transmission mode was converted from the earlier 466.5 MHz analogue to 1.69-1.71 GHz digital. The 1.4 diameter, 2.2 m long spacecraft bus carried a payload truss (as on Meteor 3) with dimensions 1.800 mm by 1.600 mm by 270 mm. High-temperature ammonia thrusters (0.147 N) were used for orbital adjustment of the basic 900 km 950 km orbit. Originally slated for a 900 km x 950 km orbit with an inclination of 82.5 degrees, Meteor 3M was instead inserted into a 1000 km altitude sun-synchronous orbit.
In 1994 NASA was negotiating with the Russian Space Agency to carry the SAGE III (Stratospheric and Aerosols and Gas Experiment) instrument on a 1998 Meteor. This did not fly until the first Meteor-3M flight in 2001.

Weather Journal: An October Weekend That Feels Like July
Summery weather makes a brief return to the area this weekend, with expected highs in the low 80s Sunday and lots of sunshine.
Anyone planning outdoor activities for the weekend is in luck: Weather Journal has to resort to the long-range forecast to find any sign of rain for the next week or so. That's not a bad problem to have.
As the atmosphere transitions from summer to winter, weather patterns are beginning to do the same. In general, storm systems are stronger in winter than in summer — the Nor'easters that occasionally bring epic snows being the prime example. Barring a hurricane, these kinds of large-scale storms generally don't occur in the summer. Those larger storms will be returning over the next few weeks, with the first forecast to arrive on the East Coast sometime around next Wednesday or Thursday.
One great thing about meteorology is that it routinely creates breathtaking images. A quick check of the live view of the entire western hemisphere reveals not much going on out there; calm weather more or less dominates this half of the planet right now.
But there are a few interesting spots of note. The storm system that was camped out over Greater New York for the majority of the last three weeks is visible, heading out into the Atlantic. The next storm system, scheduled to arrive the end of next week, can be seen entering the Pacific Northwest.

Dead End in Norvelt
by Jack Gantos
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
You might have noticed that there is a lot of blood in this novel. Spouts of blood, sprays of blood, gouts of blood. Buckets of blood. So, what's with all the gore?
Bleeding Noses and Hearts
Most obvious, of course, are Jack's bloody noses. Whenever Jack is stressed out, upset, or scared, which is a lot of the time, blood shoots out of his nose: "I noticed a bubbling river of blood running out my nose and across my lips" (7.2). It's pretty clear what Jack's nosebleeds mean: he has little control over his emotions and his reactions to events. When his nose stops bleeding at the end of the book, it's a sign that he's starting to grow up.
Sometimes, blood seems to represent emotion more broadly. Take the moment when Jack's nose leaves a "big red splotch on [his] shirt [that] looked like a real bleeding heart" (9.114). You've heard the phrase, "bleeding heart liberal," right? This means that someone is excessively compassionate and cares deeply for others' welfare (perhaps to the point of being naïve). Think Jack's mom, who cares for the poor so much that she grows her own corn.
Well, that's pretty much what this image means. Jack cares. A lot. Plus, it also gives us a neat contrast with the Hells Angel's tattoo of a black heart, which we see just before Jack's "bleeding heart." Black heart? Cares nothing for others. Bleeding heart? Can't stop caring.
Some Bad Jujumagumbo
But blood works hard as a symbol. When Jack buys the poison for Mr. Spizz, his nose bleeds a little more ominously. As he signs his name on the poison purchasing form, the bleeding starts up: "Just then a drop of blood slid down my lip and plopped onto the soft paper where a moment before I had written my name. I stared down at the red spot of blood as it spread through the paper fibers. I didn't like how that looked" (15.39).
Good call, Jackie boy. For Jack, bleeding on his own name as he signed the purchasing form is a "bad omen" (15.42). It foreshadows the murders, and since we later find out that buying the poison basically makes Jack an unwitting accessory, it's a bad omen, indeed.

ANN ARBOR, MI ( Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Just last month actor Ryan O-Neal and billionaire Warren Buffet revealed they have prostate cancer. They're among 225 thousand men diagnosed with it every year. It kills 30-thousand men annually, but better testing to detect it earlier could save a lot of lives.
Prostate cancer is the number two killer of men, second only to lung cancer. 1 in 6 men will get it and 1 in 36 will die from it. Those numbers haven't increased or decreased in the last ten years, but how the cancer's treated has changed.
"Mine was a more aggressive form or appeared to be a more aggressive form of prostate cancer," Dan Zenka, a prostate cancer patient, told Ivanhoe.
A PSA test is what most men get to determine their risk, but Dan Zenka found out he had prostate cancer through the next generation of tests, a pro PSA test. PSA is found in the blood. High levels could indicate cancer. The new test measures three different levels in the blood. Combined with annual biopsies it was 70 percent accurate in singling out tumors.
"It can give you a more accurate estimate of whether or not he has prostate cancer, and whether or not the prostate cancer is one of those that would be potentially life threatening," William Catalona, M.D., a urologist at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, said.
Meanwhile, researchers at the University of Michigan believe a new urine test is more accurate.
"PSA, you have to understand, stands for prostate specific antigen. It actually is not specific for cancer," John T. Wei, M.D, MS, a urologist at the University of Michigan Health System, explained. "When your doctor says it abnormal, it could be because you have an enlarged prostate, prostate inflammation or cancer."
The urine test works by identifying gene fusions that occur when pieces of two chromosomes stick together. These fusions are common in prostate cancer. The urine test identified 80 percent of patients with it.
"It's going to make my life easier, if not put me out of business," Dr. Wei said.
Right now, the pro PSA test is waiting for FDA approval. It's already approved in Europe. Meanwhile, the American cancer society says at age 50, men should start to talk to their doctor about the pros and cons of testing, but African American men or men who have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before the age of 65, should be tested at 45.

Waiting can be a hard thing to do. We get impatient. We lose sight of what we're really waiting for. We forget to have faith that everything works out for the better.
This one's for all those who remember that the worst of our lives is only a small part of the big picture and for those that help us through those dark times.
Sometimes, the sky is more beautiful after the storm than it ever was before it.
