This is an exciting and important time to be a Soldier. Together, we are shaping the future of the force today, in a time of challenging fiscal constraint, and as we execute important missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the globe.
As Chief of Staff of the Army, I'm committed to engaging in a constant dialogue with you – our Army Soldiers, Civilians, and Families. As part of that effort, I am initiating this blog. I hope it will serve as a forum where I can share information about our Army, and in which you can ask questions and share your opinions and experiences.
I thought it fitting that my first post be made in honor of Veterans Day. As you go about your day, be sure to take a few moments to reflect on the tremendous sacrifices that our uniformed men and women have made, and continue to make for us.
As I reflect on my own 35 year career in the Army, I think back on what called me to serve. I was influenced by my father's service in the Army, and my father-in-law and uncle's service in the Navy, and I knew that I wanted to follow in their footsteps in service of this great Nation. I'm proud to say that my son has also served in the Army. Today, I honor their service, as well as that of each and every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Coastguardsman past and present. I thank you all.
In coming weeks and months, I will use this forum to address a whole host of topics of importance to our Army today. If there are questions or issues that you'd like to hear from me on, feel free to let me know. I can't promise that I'll address your particular issue, but I can promise I'll consider it. I look forward to reading about what's on your mind and dialoging on important issues.
Together, we are Army Strong!
Gen. Raymond T. Odierno
Chief of Staff of the Army

The general TCGA data primer can be found here and should be considered an all-inclusive reference.
The TCGA sample id follows the pattern as above. The first four letters are either "TCGA" or the four letter code for the cancer type (i.e., "LUSC" for lung squamous cell). The next field following the dash is a unique two character code for the tissue selection site (TSS) in which the sample came from. The next field following that would be a unique four character identification for a specific sample from that TSS. The code as assembled thus far should be uniquely identifiable as for the geographical source (clinic) and suspected type of cancer sample as determined by pathology from a unique patient.
The rest of the assembled identifying fields following the code would be for subsets of the aforementioned sample. For instance, if multiple samples were taken from a single cancer and placed in multiple vials or if subsequent aliquots were derived from these biopsies and eventually processed in unique plates at specific centers.
Data Types
- Clinical Data: clinical data derived from patient charts from a physician at the TSS or derived from pathology.
- Copy Number CGH: regions of statically significant copy number change across samples from the CGH platform.
- Copy Number SNP: regions of statistically significant copy number change across samples from SNP platform.
- LOH SNP: statistically significant LOH from all samples using SNP platform.
- SNP: unique combination of SNPs associated with the sample from SNP platform.
- Methylation: statistically significant methylated genes across samples.
- Expression Exon: statistically significant exons present across samples.
- Expression Gene: statistically significant genes expressed across samples.
- Expression miRNA: statistically significant miRNA expression across samples.
- Mutation: significant mutations across samples usually from sequencing platform (whole genome or exome).
Data Levels
Specific implications for level of each data type can be found at the TCGA Wiki. Please note that specific permissions must be acquired and granted for access to lower level (i.e., level 1 and 2) data. Level 3 and 4 data are freely available from the publicly accessible links elsewhere on this site and/or the dbGAP and SRA archives. None of these are directly downloadable from the Broad but from a third party centralized storage source.

CONVICTED drug smuggler Schapelle Corby appears to have been cleared of any link to an Adelaide man facing drug charges with whom she has been photographed.
The man in the photographs, taken at Bail's Kerobokan prison where Corby is serving a 15-year sentence for trying to smuggle cannabis into the Indonesian resort island, says he visited her twice last year, News Ltd papers reported today.
Malcolm McCauley said the visits were as a tourist only.
"A mate and I were in Bali and we thought we'd go and have a look-see in court," Mr McCauley said.
Mr McCauley first met Corby in May last year after her mother Rosleigh Rose introduced them.
Mr McCauley's story matches that of Ms Rose who said she took the men to see her daughter in prison after meeting them earlier.
Bali prosecutors have shown interest in seeking access to the photographs ahead of Corby's appeal against the jail term.
The photographs were originally thought to have been taken before the 28-year-old Queensland woman was arrested on October 8 2004 when customs officers at Bali's airport found 4.1kg of marijuana in her unlocked luggage.

The Youth Upliftment Through Employment, Y.U.T.E., has been steadily working to rescue and develop some of the nation's most talented and yet vulnerable youth.
The initiative is co-ordinated by a Jamaican private sector-led coalition, and aims to use a holistic programme designed to empower young people in troubled communities. Y.U.T.E. has been giving steady and strong support to Jamaica's youth by among other things, improving their employability through mentorship and skills upgrading.
According to programme consultant Melissa Johnson, ,Jamaica's youth have unlimited and untapped potential and Y.U.T.E. is trying to harness some of it. "Regardless of the communities they come from, our young persons are enormous assets and they have tremendous skills, they're very resilient, creative and dynamic, and if you can hone them and keep them focused, it's a valid task", she explains.
Y.U.T.E. therefore, is working with both males and females to develop attitudes and skills to enable them to become productive and independent citizens, through an aggressive 2 year programmatic approach.
"This is a very critical programme; people who are looking for opportunities. We have people who just want to increase their literacy or numeracy skills, because not all of them are job ready, so the aim is to work with them so they become job ready, or prepared for further certification" explains Maureen Webber, CEO of Development Options Limited."
Since its birth in 2010, the organization has hosted seminars, workshops and meetings, plus developed comprehensive plans which have started to bear fruit in several inner-city communities as it seeks to provide opportunities for employment through work experience and real jobs in the private sector.
This private sector support is extremely critical, as the assistance is not confined to specific tasks or activities, but ranges from mentoring, to motivational speeches, to anything that assists young people in gaining sharper focus on positive goals.
Sagicor Life Jamaica Limited and Pan Caribbean Financial Services have commiteed to help Y.U.T.E. Being active corporate citizens, both entities have an enviable track record of giving considerable time and resources to projects that assist with nation building. Sagicor Life Jamaica Limited and PanCaribbean in particular remains uniquely focused on children/youth as the foundation for sustainable future development. In that spirit they each donated $250,000 as funding for some of Y.U.T.E's programmes. Since the youth pay no fees to participate in the programme, these funds went a far way in assisting the training and remuneration of the teachers involved in Y.U.T.E.
" Sagicor has a strong commitment to the nation's youth so it was an easy decision to partner with a programme like Y.U.T.E.. We hope to explore this partnership further and encourage other corporate entities to support this nation building programme", said Richard Byles, CEO of Sagicor Life Jamaica.
Y.U.T.E. is currently in phase one of its programme, which is being implemented with over 2000 youth in eight communities. This phase lasts until 2013, and the support is needed to facilitate what has the potential to become a tremendous social revolution in the island.

During an interview for ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the U.S. government may respond to Russia's military involvement in Crimea with economic sanctions or even military force.
"The president is currently considering all options, they're all on the table. We would call on Congress immediately to be helpful to us, that they law down immediately with us an economic package to help Ukraine," Kerry said.
"There's no question but that Russia needs to understand this is serious and we and the other friends and allies engaged in this are all deadly serious about this. You can not behave like this in the 21st century.
"We believe there is an alternative. We call on Russia to engage with the government of Ukraine. We're prepared to engage with Russia to address whatever legitimate concerns that exist."
Other members of the federal government have had strong words for Russia, including Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who told Fox News on Sunday that "Putin is playing chess, and I think we are playing marbles — and I don't think it's even close."
"I believe it's the naïve position of the National Security Council and the president's advisers that, if we just keep giving things to Russia, they'll wake up and say, 'the United States is not that bad,'" Rogers continued. "That is completely missing the motivations of why Russia does what Russia does."
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, writing for Politico on Saturday, called Russia's presence in Crimea an "illegal military incursion," adding that it's a "violation of a nation's sovereignty and cannot go unpunished."
Russian president Vladimir Putin has defended his country's actions, saying that "in case of any further spread of violence to Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, Russia retains the right to protect its interests and the Russian-speaking population of those areas," according to the Kremlin's description of a phone call between Putin and Pres. Obama.

Reported July 2010
BERKELEY, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The United States consumes 20 million barrels of oil every day. That's 2.5 gallons of oil per person per day. We use it in everything from our cars to making water bottles. Weve seen the devastation our dependence to oil has had in the gulf -- birds, fish, and wildlife. But what is the impact of all of that oil on all of us?
As the disaster continues to unfold and the oil continues to contaminate our water, 20,000 people are working around the clock to clean up the shores, putting their health at risk. But environmental health scientists studying public health risks at the University of California at Berkeley are uncovering what affects oil -- not just this oil spill -- has on all of us.
"In the US right now, we're using 5,000 gallons of gasoline per second," Thomas McKone, Ph.D., an environmental health scientist at University of California Berkeley, told Ivanhoe.
Dr. McKone says the life cycle of oil takes a toll, start to finish.
"In the 1920s, if we did life cycle assessment, we would have never gone forward with gasoline," Dr. McKone explained.
Even without a large spill, fumes come out of all oil wells and rise into our atmosphere.
"The substances in there are carcinogens, reproductive hazards," Dr. McKone said.
Add to that the exhaust from transporting the oil.
"There's local pollution around the transfer facilities," he pointed out.
Then, there's the exhaust from our cars and the vapors released at gas stations every time we fill up.
"Fine particles, which we know are associated with respiratory illness, heart disease, cancer," Dr. McKone commented.
But would replacing oil with biofuels make a difference? Dr. McKone is now looking at the life cycle assessment of bio fuels. Will a more environmentally friendly alternative be healthier?
"If we switch to a new fuel, will this go up or down?" Dr. McKone asked.
But the real answer, he says, won't be known for decades. So what can people do now? Until then, Dr. McKone is cutting down on his oil use and revving up his health.
Although European countries have been doing risk assessment on fuels for decades, it's not mandatory here in the United States, making it more difficult to get hard results on the impact of fuels and our health.

Do you know what should and should not be on your sunscreen label? Listen up before you lather up!
The United States consumes 20 million barrels of oil every day. That's 2.5 gallons of oil per person per day. But what is the impact of all of that oil on all of us?
The average home spends about $1,900 a year on energy costs, but you can reduce your summertime energy bill with one simple fix.
Studies show for every one person injured in a household fire, two firefighters go home hurt as well. Now engineers are using a new toy to keep crews safer when tackling towering flames.
One study found 50 percent of college students drink three or more energy drink-and-alcohol cocktails in a night. Some researchers say it can secretly turn into a dangerous mixture.
You add it to popcorn, fries, veggies and just about every breakfast, lunch and dinner you eat. But did you know just one teaspoon of salt has 2,400 milligrams of sodium? With so much attention focused on lowering sodium intake, food scientists are creating a healthier replacement for salt.
You've heard it as lactose intolerance, but did you know milk allergy is the most common food allergy in the U.S., affecting six million infants and children? Now, there's a new way to treat dairy allergies.
A University of Utah professor and his students are convinced their invention will steady the hands of surgeons, artists, and people with conditions like cerebral palsy.
For more than one million blind people in the U.S., a school project could make their lives a whole lot easier. It's one of those, "Wow. Why didn't I think of that?" ideas.
Millions of Americans have high blood pressure, but many don't know they have it. Find out why letting your blood pressure go unchecked could put you at risk for some very serious problems.
The more than 10 million people with jaw alignment problems are reminded of their pain with every bite. For serious cases, surgery is the best option, but it's a tricky procedure. Now surgeons are improving accuracy and putting patients at ease by doing the surgery in a virtual world.
Music: we hear it on the radio. We play it on our iPods. We dance to it. Why do we love music so much? As one philosophy professor is showing, it could be because it's within us all. He's proving music is more than skin-deep.

Breakfast at Tiffany's was such a lovely evening it could have been dinner at the Ritz.
Sean Mathias was our surprise special guest at the lovely Lexi Cinema. Sean is a lauded and applauded film and theatre director most recently channeling the combined talents of Sir Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Simon Callow in a recent production of 'Waiting for Godot' at the West End's Haymarket Theatre where he is presently Artistic Director. At the time of this event, Sean was in the midst of bringing Breakfast at Tiffany's into the Haymarket for its theatrical debut, he was the obvious man for the job of host and we were thrilled when he accepted.
The poster for Breakfast at Tiffany's was designed by Dan Canyon and looked terrific outside the Lexi with magnificently large Audrey Hepburn eyes blazing into the night. Dan also supplied the ingenious flickbook homage to 'Moon River', the Henry Mancini ditty that won the 1961 Oscar for best original song.

LOS ANGELES — Much of the mystery surrounding Linkin Park's Video Music Awards performance centered on just where it would be taking place. And though Internet sleuths had figured it out before the band even started rehearsing (you win this round, Buddyhead), there was still the matter of the performance itself: Just what would LP do high atop Los Angeles at the Griffith Observatory ?
Well, as it turns out, they brought the thunder, filling the night sky with a multitude of multicolored searchlights, curling wisps of fog and, of course, one cacophonously loud song.
This was the first-ever televised performance of "The Catalyst," the debut single off their A Thousand Suns album (in stores Tuesday), but Linkin Park didn't show any signs of nerves. Instead, when paired with a suitably epic location like the Griffith, they launched the song into the stratosphere. Chester Bennington's guttural wails practically reverberated off the Hollywood Hills. Brad Delson's guitars roared like the helicopters circling overhead, and Mike Shinoda's eerie, otherworldly synth lines were downright ghostly in the night air. Simply put, it was the perfect pairing of a band, a song and a location.
But during last-minute rehearsals on Saturday night, there were still kinks to be worked out. The production team hustled around the observatory positioning spotlights, wrenching massive camera cranes high in the air, and working out the complexities of getting suitably massive shots from a helicopter soaring overhead. The band hammered through the song dutifully, over and over again, while camera moves were perfected and an audience of lucky LP fans repeatedly sprinted to the front of the stage.
But through it all, the enthusiasm never waned. The fans cheered wildly, Bennington struck rock-star poses, and Shinoda and bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell shot each other "Can you believe this?" smiles from across the stage. They were clearly amazed to be there — everyone was — and though it was just rehearsal, you could tell something big was going to happen.
Turns out that feeling was right.
The Moonmen have all been handed out and the stars have gone home, but there's plenty of 2010 MTV Video Music Awards news, interviews, behind-the-scenes scoop, party reports and more still to come, so keep it locked on MTVNews.com.

The fastest growing economies in the past year as well as the fastest shrinking economies have been calculated by 24/7 Wall St. and reported upon by Yahoo! News on Thursday. In spite of a very slow economic recovery over the past several years, experts believe the nation's economy to improve in future years in the United States.
Click here for: "America's fastest growing economies"
Best United States places to live in 2014
If projections are correct, the nation's economy should grow by 2.7 percent this year, and it should grow by yet another 3.2 percent next year. Reportedly, in the past year – throughout 2013 – the economy has grown by some 1.9 percent.
The energy boom in the United States is given credit for improving the economies that did improve in the past year. Trade is a bonus to a metro area's growth as well. The trade can be with other countries or simply other locations in the United States. Most often, metros that grow economically are also areas that have job growth in the United States', otherwise, down job market.
While the data from 24/7 Wall St. lists the metro areas in the United States that shrunk the most economically, their data also revealed the metro areas that grew the fastest in the past year as well.
America's Fastest Shrinking Economies
- Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana
- Decatur, Illinois
- Yuma, Arizona
- Lafayette, Louisiana
- Steubenvile-Weirton, Ohio-West Virginia
- Binghamton, New York
- Salisbury, Maryland
- Pocatello, Idaho
- Charlottesville, Virginia
Leading the pack of nine for the second year in a row, Shreveport, Louisiana's 2013 GMP change was -5.2 (negative 5.2) percent. The metro's change in employment was -1.3 (negative 1.3) percent, and it's unemployment for the past year was 6.9 percent.

Renault has officially released details on its Alpine A110-50 Concept. Designed to pay homage to the original Alpine A110, the machine wears a body crafted from carbon fiber and dipped in a shade of the same iconic Alpine Blue we all know and love. Up front, designers worked in a set of half-ring yellow LED lights reminiscent of the hood-mounted fog lights found on the original. That's pretty much where the similarities end, however. Based loosely on the crushingly-sexy Renault Dezir Concept, th

This site provides basic information. For more information on Stroke, visit the National Stroke Association at www.stroke.org.
What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when there is an interruption of the normal blood flow to the brain, due to a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel. Without the normal flow of oxygen-rich blood, brain cells start to die. Stroke can cause disability and death.
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death in the United States.
In Massachusetts, 2.5% of adults aged 35 and older have had a stroke.
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability
- Without prompt treatment, 62% of people who have a stroke will have moderate-to-severe impairment
- $58 billion will be spent this year on stroke-related medical and disability costs
- Stroke can cause the loss of ability to walk, talk, see, make facial expressions, shower and dress, use the bathroom by oneself, feed oneself, read and write, and drive

Imagine… by the end of this article you're able to consistently identify a superior dog food… all because you've learned a simple rule that can narrow an extraordinarily long list of ingredients (sometimes containing a hundred items… or more) down to just five.
Now, not to be overly dramatic… but these items are probably the most important ones you'll ever find on any dog food ingredients list.
Want to know what they are?
Easy. They're simply the first five items on every list. That's it.
You see, dog food manufactures are required by federal law to list all of a product's ingredients in descending order of their pre-cooking weights.
And that automatically… and mathematically… makes the first few the most abundant items anywhere in a product.
Now, since companies rarely divulge the actual amount of each ingredient in a dog food, the consumer is left to try to figure out the proportional break-down for herself.
And I can assure you… that's no easy thing to do!
Trying to make heads or tails of a dog food's proportional content is nothing less than a game… a game of odds and probabilities.
Why Five… and Not Six?
I already know what you're thinking. Why the first five items? Why not the first six… or seven?
When looking for an answer to this question, one of the more intriguing ideas I found suggested that all the initial ingredients up to and including the first added fat be considered "the main ingredients".
I must congratulate Sabine Contreras of The Dog Food Project for this original and thoughtful idea.
So, don't get hung up on the number "five".
When evaluating any dog food… you're always looking for a high quality, digestible meat-based protein… as close to the top of the list as possible.
So, if you haven't found quality protein in those first few ingredients… whatever the number… it's game over for that dog food.
Wouldn't you agree?
Valuable Ingredient… or Nutritional Window Dressing
With the possible exception of nutritional additives… like vitamins and minerals… the further down the list you find an ingredient… the less it contributes to the overall quality of the food.
For example, when you see sweet potatoes at position #12… don't be too impressed. From a nutritional standpoint, items located that far down a list should probably be considered little more than "window dressing".
To keep things simple, here's a rule of thumb that can help you more consistently identify superior dog food…
The first few items on any dog food ingredients list tend to be the most important
Simple enough.
To learn more about using these priority ingredients to screen for quality be sure to read my article… The One Crucial Piece of Information Dog Food Companies Willfully Conceal.

Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on January 17, 2014 @ 7:08PM
Created on January 17, 2014 @ 6:21PM
A local church has donated $700 to the Shinnston Police Department so they can get a new bulletproof vest.
The pastor from the Coon's Run Baptist Church told 5 News they do everything they can for the community. This money came directly from the people inside the church. They voted on helping the police department out and everyone in the church community instantly agreed.
"We are involved in community that's our job, community. One of the biggest parts of our community is our police department. The protection they give us we want to share back with them," said Pastor Allen Burnsworth, Coon's Run Baptist Church.
"We're very thankful to have such wonderful people within the community. It's saving a life and protecting us," said Officer Chris Harris, Shinnston Police Department.

Established: 1933
Total Number of Active Members: 22,100
Out of State Members: 3,108
Membership is: Compulsory
Membership in Other Bar Associations: Southern Conference of Bar Presidents
Bar Profile:
The State Bar was established in 1933 by the North Carolina General Assembly as an agency of the state of North Carolina empowered to regulate the legal profession. Though operating pursuant to a legislative grant of authority, the State Bar exercises its regulatory powers under the direct and continuing supervision of the North Carolina Supreme Court, which by statute is responsible for approving all of the State Bar's rules. The State Bar has no responsibility in regard to admissions to the bar, that being the responsibility of the North Carolina Board of Law Examiners, a separate state agency. Every lawyer issued a license to practice law in North Carolina must be a member of the North Carolina State Bar. All active members, including all judges, are required to pay membership dues, $265 per year. As of October, the total active membership of the North Carolina State Bar was 22,100.
In addition to its primary responsibility of promulgating and enforcing minimum standards of professional conduct, the North Carolina State Bar administers a mandatory continuing legal education program, a legal specialization program, a client security fund, an IOLTA program, a paralegal certification program and a substance abuse intervention program.
The State Bar is governed by a council of lawyers who are elected from the state's 42 judicial districts. Three public members of the council are appointed by the governor of the state of North Carolina. The State Bar Council meets on a quarterly basis and holds its annual meeting each October in Raleigh. The officers of the North Carolina State Bar are members of the Southern Conference of Bar Presidents.

South Central Texas battered by storms
By MADELINE BARO
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO - Drenching storms swept through Texas on Saturday, spawning a tornado that killed one person in rural Texas and floods in San Antonio that killed three others.
More than 15 inches of rain had fallen in some areas by early afternoon, the National Weather Service said. Meteorologist Larry Peabody said the chance for more flooding is "110 percent."
"Every creek and river and drainage system and road and highway and the city of San Antonio are either flooded or about to be flooded," Peabody said.
The three drowning victims - a man and two women - were washed away in cars stranded on flooded roads on the city's north side. All three bodies were recovered.
Just west of Corsicana, 220 miles northeast of San Antonio, a man was killed when a tornado slammed into his mobile home and ripped it apart about 10:30 a.m., Navarro County sheriff's Deputy Kip Thomas said.
The man's identity was not released. His wife and two of his sons were severely injured and a third son was taken to the hospital for observation, authorities said.
Navarro General Hospital officials did not have their conditions.
No other damage was reported. The family's trailer was destroyed, with nothing left standing but cinder blocks and a front wooden deck on which a welcome mat and flower pots remained undisturbed.
"We had no warning," Thomas said. "All of a sudden, the tones went out and they said it was on the ground."
Some minor injuries also were reported near Caldwell, 130 miles northeast of San Antonio, when a tornado apparently touched down close to State Highway 21, Burleson County sheriff's officials said. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Burleson and Brazos counties as the storm moved northeast toward Bryan.
Flooding extended from San Antonio in south central Texas up to Austin and the Hill Country. Forecasters said there was little or no relief expected through at least late Sunday.
Authorities in Austin and San Antonio spent much of the morning rescuing motorists from flooded roads, said Jo Schweikhard Moss, a spokeswoman for the Division of Emergency Management.
She said some sections of Interstate 35 south of San Antonio were closed at one point by at least five feet of water sitting on the highway.
About 50 National Guard troops were activated to assist with rescues in the area, she said.
Marsha Edwards and daughter Lori Reyna were stuck in a San Antonio shopping center which had become an island in a torrent of floodwaters.
"The water was rushing over the road," Edwards said. "You could see trash cans and everything else floating down the creek."
The homes of about 80 to 90 families were evacuated north of San Antonio, sheriff's Deputy Art Scarbrough said. More than 100 residents of Wimberley, a Hill Country weekend hideaway about 30 miles southwest of Austin, also were evacuated.
Frank and Charlotte Walters of Houston were driving back from their Lake Tahoe summer residence when they were stranded at an outlet mall in New Braunfels, northeast of San Antonio. Following a hot, dry summer, Walters tried to put the storm in perspective.
"One thing about it: I think the drought is over," Walters said.

Weavers (Ploceidae)
Katanga Masked Weaver (Ploceus katangae) - HBW 15, p. 172
French: Tisserin du Katanga
German: Katangaweber
Spanish: Tejedor de Katanga
Taxonomy: Sitagra velata katangae Verheyen, 1947, Musosa, Zambia.
Has been thought to form a superspecies, or even to be conspecific, with P. velatus, P. vitellinus, P. reichardi and P. ruweti; formerly, often treated as a race of P. velatus. Molecular data suggest that it is close only to P. reichardi. Race upembae sometimes considered to represent a separate species; this is supported by some preliminary molecular data. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- upembae ( Verheyen, 1953) - SE DRCongo (R Lualaba).
- katangae ( Verheyen, 1947) - SE DRCongo (R Luapula) and N & W sectors of NE Zambia.

The awards keep coming in for Dan Gianoutsos.
On Wednesday the Amarillo High senior wrestler raked in another honor when he received the Putt Powell Scholarship Award at the American Business Club luncheon.
The $1,000 scholarship was awarded in honor of long-time Globe-News sportswriter Putt Powell, who worked for the company for 62 years until he died at the age of 80 on Christman Eve, 1992.
Gianoutsos, who signed a wrestling scholarship agreement with Cal-State Bakersfield of the Pac-10 Conference, said this award capped off a "great senior year. This is just icing on the cake from this award to my being able to sign a scholarship with Cal-State Bakersfield," said Gianoutsos. "It's an extra boost and motivation; it's encouraging to receive this type of support from the city."
Gianoutsos has also received the Rotary Youth Leadership Award, American Legion Boys State Award, The Amarillo High Senior Award and the Dee Griffin Award, awarded to the outstanding Amarillo Independent School District wrestler.
In addition he is an honor student with 3.40 grade point average and was named to the 3-5A All-Academic team. He also finds the time to be a mentor for younger at-risk students and works 30 hours a week at Joe's Crab Shack.
"It keeps me busy, but I always try to find time to do it,", he said of his busy schedule.
This past season Gianoutsos finished sixth in the state tournament, compiling an overall record of 17-4. Because of torn ligaments in his foot, an injury he suffered at the regional tournament, three of those losses were by injury default, one at the regional tournament and two at the state tournament.
In his high school career, Gianoutsos compiled a 27-1 record in district matches and a 67-15 overall mark. Not once did he get pinned in his prep career.
He wrestled in the 152-pound weight division this past season. At Cal-State Bakersfield he'll move up to the 165-pound weight class.

Will this be the next Twilight? It seems everywhere we turn these days, someone is talking about Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, a Young Adult trilogy that combines action, adventure and romance. The first book, The Hunger Games ($10), a dystopian tale of a government that forces young people to fight to the death for entertainment, is currently being turned into a movie. Read the book before the movie comes out so you can join the cool group that likes to poke fun at all the plot holes movies inevitably have.
I don't read much Young Adult literature, as a rule. I was happy to find that this was nothing like the Twilight series in that it features a strong and independent female as the main character. The writing is decent, and the story, while dark, is compelling. I was most impressed with the first installment of the trilogy.
This is one of my favourite books of all time, and I work at a book store. It (and the other two books in the trilogy) is extremely well written, emotional, and addictive. I seem to recall reading the first 2 books in about 48 hours flat. Definitely amazing.

The second movement of Haydn's Symphony No.24 is a beautiful Adagio for solo flute accompanied by strings. John W. Pratt adapted the Adagio for flute and piano, including a cadenza, resulting in a gorgeous one-movement flute sonata.
"Ablaze She Came in the Dream" by P.H.Bloom for flute, cello and guitar (or electric guitar) is an unusual piece of 11 short episodes, meant to be interpreted freely and expressively. Sure to intrigue both performers and listeners alike
"From the Drawer" by P.H.Bloom, in a new NSM edition for tenor or soprano and saxophone quartet, provides an intriguing musical setting for the intensely emotional 1923 poem of the same name by Constantine Cavafy.

On Target: Fifty-one point wins will do wonders for one's confidence, even if it is an exhibition game.

Balanced There as well: If you've read this far, you already know that Arizona sported a balanced scoring attack, as well as evenly distributed minutes, in the Team Georgia game. Well, the Wildcats were also pretty balanced on the boards as well. A total of six players grabbed five or more rebounds in the contest and 10 of the 12 to see action collected at least one.

This is an open response to Robin Raisfeild and Rob Fatronite who have insulted Wisconsin cheese lovers in the New York Magazine article "Fifty Cheeses." Entry 39 (Cheese curds) makes erroneous assumptions about those who are not ashamed to be called cheeseheads. We can forgive categorizing the curds as "trashy cheese," but their assertion that we "no doubt" love our cheese curds battered, laden on fries, and smothered in gravy is sacrilege. These tourist and junk food recipes are merely ancillary to the best way to prepare curds.
Consumer recipe for cheese curds: It's all about local
- Cheese curds must be fresh and eaten warm or at room temperature while still squeaky. While packaging contain date stamps, Wisconsinites and local cheese factories know the absolute code. A hand lettered sign only need one word: "Today." Correct spelling is not essential.
- Cheese curds must be fresh. Laws require refrigeration, but cheese crafters announce their schedules so locals and traveling aficionados line up to buy the warm nuggets before they hit the fridge.
- Cheese curds must be fresh. If the schedules of a road trip have not synced with the cheese factory timetable, and today's curds have hit the cooler, Wisconsin road trippers know that a sunny day and a dashboard ledge can recondition curds to their original warm, textured, but smooth, squeaky, and moan-inducing status. This culinary technique will work for up to 48 hours. Legend has it that a 1954 International Pickup dash and an August day once rejuvenated three-day olds, but this may be a rural myth.
Once the window of squeaky perfection has passed, we dip them in batter, fry, and sell them to tourists and drunks from New York. And we disagree with Raisfeild and Fatronite who advise readers to use processed American cheese (entry 36) on burgers or grilled sandwiches. A thick slice of Wisconsin Munster holds up to heating and adds a salty velvety perfection without melting away. Want to investigate American cheese? Skip the processed crap and take a road-trip on the Wisconsin Cheese Tour.

Starspangled cowboy
sauntering out of the almost-
silly West, on your face . . .
The summer of nineteen eighteen
I read The Jungle and The
Research Magnificent. That fall . . .
What did he do except lie
under a pear tree, wrapped in
a great cloak, and meditate . . .
Learn from the man who spends much of his life speaking
To the back of your head knowing what it means to follow
. . .
The warping night air having brought the boom
Of an owl's voice into her darkened room,
We tell the wakened child that all she heard . . .
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff, . . .
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fatal lightning of his terrible swift sword: . . .
Back when I used to be Indian
I am standing outside the
pool hall with my sister. . . .
Be music, night,
That her sleep may go
Where angels have their pale tall choirs . . .
Like all his people he felt at home in the forest.
The silence beneath great trees, the dimness there,
The distant high rustling of foliage, the clumps . . .

The City of Taylor Animal Shelter held its 14th annual Pet Adoption Day at the shelter on Northline Road in Taylor. Dr. Mary Jutte DVM, of Taylor Veterinary Clinic and her staff were there for their low cost vaccination clinic, a very popular part of the event as well.
The event helps save the lives of animals in need of loving homes while also promoting responsible pet ownership in a family fun atmosphere. Adults and kids enjoyed free soda, hotdogs, and a beautiful sunny day. Race car driver Brandon Wakeling was on hand with his car for a meet-and-greet.
Shelter staff offered tours of the animal shelter and helped connect homeless dogs and cats with their new families, as well as providing pet licenses.
Lots of people and turned out with their pets for the vaccination clinic to keep them protected from serious contagious diseases. The clinic offers pet owners who might not otherwise be able to afford it the opportunity to keep their pets healthy and help stop the spread of disease in the community.
The staff of Taylor Veterinary Clinic provided information about how to keep pets healthy through prevention and a healthy diet. Dr. Jutte also provided micro-chipping to help pets get home safely if they should ever get lost.
Event sponsors included Antech Diagnostics, Advanced Veterinary Care Group, Bayer, Elanco, Faithful Companion, First Veterinary Supply, Henry Schein, Hills, Merck, Merial, Novartis, Patterson Veterinary, Sogeval, Vetoquinol, and Taylor Veterinary Clinic.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Mothers who contract many common colds or viral infections during pregnancy put their children at a higher risk of developing asthma.
Researchers from the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology studied 513 pregnant women in Germany, and their 526 children over a five year period. Children were examined at age three months, 12 months, and every year until they were five-years-old. Researchers found the bacteria and allergens mother were exposed to during pregnancy altered the in utero environment, and put children at a higher risk for becoming sensitized.

The AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is now on sale for $199.99 with 2-year contract. This phone looks way better than the standard S4. It actually has some character and doesn't look cheap. This is definitely the best Galaxy S4 variant out there…. You lose a few megapixels (yawn) but you gain a 1080p LCD screen which is better then the amoled pentile display on the plain S4. I like the display better. On auto brightness it is definitely brighter than the S4 I have.

Group asks Vrakas to ban clerk Nickolaus from today's election
A group of Waukesha County residents that claim to be a mix of Democrats, Republicans and Independents emailed County Executive Dan Vrakas Monday afternoon requesting that County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus be banned from Tuesday's election process.
The Concerned Citizens of Waukesha County in a letter asked Vrakas to file a restraining order against Nickolaus to remove her from the polling area, or to have a special agent on hand to observe today's election ongoings.
"Nickolaus' well-documented record of incompetence and the storm of controversy she has repeatedly generated in the basic process of counting ballots have damaged her credibility beyond repair.
"She has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she must not be in charge of anything to do with elections and she must no longer have any 'authority or responsibility' over election results," wrote the group. The email was sent by member Keith Jamieson of Pewaukee.
Nickolaus created controversy after she made errors when reporting vote totals in the Supreme Court Justice race between JoAnne Kloppenberg and David Prosser.
She again created controversy with the way she handled reporting vote totals in the spring election that had reporters up until the next morning waiting for vote totals and totals were not posted on the county website until much later.
After that incident Vrakas asked Nickolaus to hand off election duties to another clerk. However, media reported in the May primary that Nickolaus seemed to still be running things at the county courthouse.
"Clearly asking Nickolaus to promise to stay away from the ballot counting process and other half-measures have proven ineffective," said the letter.
A message left with Vrakas seeking comment and an email inquiry to Jamieson for additional comment has not yet been returned.
Watch for more on this story as it develops.

In the Shadow of Pike's peak in Southern Colorado Springs one apartment, near Westmeadow off of South Academy, holds something strange in store for its tenants.
Seen usually after dark out in the meadow behind the apartments, but sometimes in the kitchen standing on the bar counter, a shadowy little man is watching you.
Seen even by non believers, this little man emanates a feeling of terror and a need to get away from his shadowy gaze.
Knocking on the doors, bumping the bed around the foot or right near their faces, it shuffles through the rooms. Residents have been even more horrified that it sometimes calls them by name in that sing-song voice used by people searching for their children.
People feel it brushing up against the backs of their legs and tugging their clothes like an annoying child but this thing is no child and probably never was.
One resident resorting to circling his apartment edges with salt and holy water and claims this works as long as he was in his apartment but still sees the thing outside in the tall grass and snowdrifts.
Not your usual haunting, some psychic residents claim it never was human. But more likely the Shadow people associated with demons or elementals. It means no good but has caused no harm other than poltergeist-ing the pictures off the walls and spooking the pets.
At least, not yet.

By Jack Beanstalk
Halfway through the production of Jorge Cervantes' just-released grow-guide DVD, the entire cast and crew woke up at dawn for a glorious morning boat ride from our home base in the city of Vancouver to Vancouver Island, about 10 nautical miles across the Strait of Georgia. We made the journey because the Island—19,356 square miles of thriving Pacific Northwest landscape—offered not only a needed change of scenery, but also access to some of the best grass growers that Canada has to offer, several of whom had extended to Jorge the professional courtesy of a rare entrée into their private gardens.
At our first stop, we were hosted by a graying married couple, longtime locals very much in love with the plant—together, they ran Vancouver Island Seed Company—and also very much in awe of having Jorge Cervantes himself in their kitchen. They offered us delicious homemade fruit-flavored iced tea, cone-shaped spliffs of their finest harvest and permission to film their precious plants. We quickly assembled a small makeshift set on their back deck, where Jorge went through a step-by-step demonstration of taking clones and later placed a male and female plant side by side to demonstrate their distinguishing differences. As he explained each new aspect of growing herb, I jotted a corresponding check in the appropriate square of my director's notebook, breathing a small sigh of relief as the ultimate goal grew one step closer.
When the business portion of the afternoon ended, we relaxed with our hosts, chatting over another round of herb and some raw hemp seed. But despite the pleasant company and fantastic weed, I found myself highly distracted instead of just high. In my mind, I couldn't stop going over the next location, the next scene, the next set of problems that inevitably arrive on any film production—never mind one where every shot takes place inside an active crime scene. Fortunately, Jorge's name pulls a lot of water up in British Columbia, and some of the most prominent members of the local grow scene graciously opened their homes and gardens to our cameras, which is to say that we truly couldn't have done it without them. For a bunch of criminals, I have to say, they sure turned out to be some of the nicest people I've ever met.
Perhaps I should explain something: I smoke weed daily—many, many times a day during this particular project—but I've never even thought about growing it myself, due to a severe case of "brown thumb" that my many houseplants would gladly attest to if they weren't already dead. That knowledge gap left me with a lot to learn about growers and growing as we went along, and although Jorge made it all sound easy and comprehensible, it was also pretty hard to keep straight, never mind making sure to get it all down on tape. By the end of that first week, my head was constantly spinning and I was completely run ragged—feeling, quite frankly, like I'd be glad when the whole thing was over and done with. Then I could relax.
Anyway, at some point that I hadn't noticed, the husband-and-wife team had disappeared briefly into their bedroom, only to return with a large three-ring binder bursting with pages, each individually wrapped in its own plastic protective sleeve. They carried the text gingerly, like a sacred volume full of practical wisdom.
"Back when your book was still banned in Canada, we smuggled this copy across the border and made photocopies to share with our friends," they explained to Jorge, who smiled appreciatively—thinking not of lost publishing royalties, but of all those pot plants grown. "A lot of people in this community owe their livelihoods to this book. We just thought you'd want to see it."
A banned book. I was stunned at first, and then deeply humbled by the long, wonderful samizdat tradition that Jorge's book was now a part of—a history shared by Lolita, Ulysses, Huckleberry Finn and other classic works. And even though Jorge's books are now readily available on both sides of the border, plus everywhere else in the world (except Australia, where it's still banned), in English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish (and soon Portuguese, Italian and Japanese), and have sold 500,000 copies since his first self-published print run in 1983, it's unfortunately not hard to imagine an America where this kind of information will once again find itself actively suppressed. The war on marijuana has many fronts, not the least of which is the heavily funded stream of misinformation that the federal government puts out regarding this most persecuted plant. In fact, simply reminding people that pot is in fact just a plant—one of God's creations and blessings—puts you deeply at odds with the powers that be. Teaching people to grow it is practically a revolutionary act.
Holy shit, it finally dawned on me, after months of planning and a week of on-location shooting, this isn't a project or even a movie; it's a mission— my chance to pay back a portion of the debt I owe to Mary Jane for all the help and sanity she's granted me over the years, plus an opportunity to stick it to the Man while I'm doing it.
With this realization, my enthusiasm immediately returned and never wavered again, despite a grueling schedule that took us through a blur of beautiful growrooms, greenhouses and outdoor gardens. After seeing that smuggled copy of Jorge's book—itself the "mother plant" for countless underground copies—this director was left in awe and pretty much speechless, aside from three little words: Lights, camera, action!

I applaud House Speaker John Boehner's comments regarding ending partisan politics in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country. Will he actually follow through?
Our nation received a message from many voters on Election Day about the consequences of leaders in the House and Senate fracturing our nation through partisan politics. The nation is at a critical point (from within the country and without) and we cannot risk continuing partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders in the House and Senate must reach across the aisle to work together and we citizens must embrace that effort.
Democrats and Republicans in government at all levels must now put people before politics and make reasonable, rational compromises in the best interests of the United States and the world.
I challenge Boehner to live up to his call for bipartisan politics and use his leadership position and skills to bring bipartisanship to the House of Representatives and Senate. I challenge all voters to hold our Congress members and president accountable for creating a bipartisan environment to make reasonable and rational decisions to solve the numerous challenges we face as a nation. Through letting our voices be heard in a concerted call for bipartisanship we can change this current partisan tide of this nation.

Arguments for and against reinstating historic bells at All Saints Church in Croxley Green will be heard by magistrates early next year.
Hourly chimes have not rung out across the village since September 26 when the church in The Green was served with a noise abatement notice by Three Rivers District Council.
The silencing of the church bells prompted widespread anger across the community as it emerged the action had been taken in response to a single complaint from a resident.
The notice only requires the bells not to sound during night time hours but the historic mechanism is such that it cannot be set hourly so has had to be switched off completely.
Reverend Miriam Mugan thanked residents for their ongoing support which has included dozens of letters of support to the church.
The hearing at Watford Magistrates' Court has been scheduled for 10am on Tuesday February 26.
