No. 20 Jackets Renew Rivalry With Georgia State Tuesday
Georgia Tech is fresh off a weekend sweep of Akron to open the season
Feb. 18, 2013
>> First pitch is set for 4 p.m. and the game can be seen live on RamblinWreck.com, while Nolan Alexander and Wiley Ballard have the call on WREK 91.1 FM Atlanta.
>> Behind ACC Pitcher of the Week Buck Farmer, who fanned 14 on Friday, the Yellow Jackets swept Akron this past weekend in Atlanta. Farmer was also named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week for his career-best 14 K effort in the 3-0 win.
>> The Panthers are 2-1 after three shoot outs with Butler this past weekend in Panthersville. Although Tech leads the all-time series with State, 57-10, four of GSU's wins in the series have come since 2007.
>> Following Tuesday's game, Tech remains home to host St. John's in a three-game series this weekend, a Super Regional team in 2012.
>> Georgia Tech is ranked in all four major polls this week. The Jackets were also ranked the preseason Top 25, marking the 20th time under head coach Danny Hall that Tech was ranked in at least one preseason poll. Tech was a preseason pick by the ACC coaches to finish second to North Carolina in the Coastal Division.
>> In his 20th season on the Flats, Coach Hall is 15th among active Division I coaches in wins (1,028).

I don't think Pope Francis will have the answer. But who knows...maybe he does.
Question: What has happened to pot holders? You know those square (sometimes rectangle), thick, easily manipulated things that sat by the stove and permitted hot pots to be moved. I have conducted a wide search for someone who asked for them for Christmas. Pot holders are now mostly silicone, wormy things that are hard to hold and to grasp a pot with. Or they are flimsey decorative pieces of cloth sewn together.
Have I missed a recall? New safety whatsies? Anyone know?
And what about the candy cane situation... None to be had! Gone the way of real jelly beans.

The biggest surprise maybe the Montreal Canadiens sweeping the Lightning in four but the Kings going down 3-0 is right up there. Last night the Kings did stave off elimination in impressive fashion exploding for six goals and cruising to the win suggesting that series may not be as over as it appeared to be prior to game four.
Then there are the upstart Blue Jackets that came back on Pittsburgh at home in game four, tying it in the last minute then winning the game early in the first overtime period. That series is now a best of three but if the goalless pair of Crosby and Malkin don't assert themselves and fast, the Blue Jackets just might be headed for the second round.
Did anyone think the Ducks would be tied with the Stars after four games? That was another series going in that looked like a lock for a very strong Anaheim team but it is also a best of three. It's the same story with Colorado and Minnesota now also a best of three series. While both Colorado and Anaheim hold home ice if it goes seven games, neither Colorado nor Anaheim can be happy they're tied given their respective apparent edges at the outset.
The only series that aren't surprising are the Blues Blackhawks at 2-2 which looked to be a toss up going in and the Bruins Wings where Boston was expected to cruise in five and can do just that back on home ice Saturday afternoon. Then there's this weird scheduling anomaly with the Habs finishing up round one last Tuesday http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/sports/story/1.2620905
while the Rangers and Flyers have yet to play four games in the only other series that has unfolded pretty much as expected with the Rangers up 2-1 heading into game four tonight.
In terms of play-off surprises maybe the biggest change from just a few years ago is just how many teams have been able to come back after being down two or more goals. In the past, the team that scored first went on to win the vast majority of the time. In game 3, the Kings blew a two goal lead, last night, the Wings did the same, and Columbus was down by 3 early in their game 4 and looked like it might be a blow out yet hung in and evened the series at two. Exciting and unpredictable hockey leaving one wondering if this same come back propensity will carry over to series results.
Can the Kings win four in a row? Given the Sharks just beat the Kings four straight going back to the final game of the regular season perhaps it's their turn for some puck luck. If Quick regains his regular season form http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73HV0lq5vh8&list=PL1NbHSfosBuGFLQYxy-BUo6...
would it be that much of a shocker? Gaborik had two last night and with the Kings suddenly firing on all cylinders maybe a 3-0 series lead isn't what it used to be. The Kings Sharks series resumes Saturday in San Jose.

Yes, but is it not fact that "water" contains two hydrogen and one oxygen?
I say water in the sense of pure, filtered, plain old water. Placing dirt, salt, etc is arguing semantics, as it is still water with additives unless that water has been fundamentally changed.
As far as I know, salt and dirty don't fundamentally rearrange the molecules that make up water. If they did, by definition, it would no longer be water. It would be a different substance entirely.
I'm just working off of the top of my head here, so feel free to correct me.

But anyway, you could say that all words for water mean the same thing, but some cultures have different words for choppy water or dirty water, does that make the truth of the water different?
And Eskimos have like, 50 words for snow.
While the snow may be different levels of frozen, cold, hard, soft, etc, it is still frozen water. The different densities tend to have more to do with the percentage of water density.
That does not change the fact that it is essentially frozen, and packed together water molecules that change density depending upon environmental factors.
Just like you example with water, just calling all these variations "snow" is incredibly general. But the word has more of a social meaning than the scientific meaning of Snow as a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds.
Calling it something else does not fundamentally change the way it is created. Only the way we perceive it. And what we generally all perceive on a basic level would be "frozen water (translate to any language you want)" I'd assume.

Depends on what you are calling "water"
If by water you mean the entire ocean, or a lake, then there would be more than hydrogen and oxygen. But, I believe Ender was speaking more for plain water. Again, it would not be technically water if something had fundamentally changed its molecular composition.

I'd say it is "correct" from a different angle. It isn't so much a different understanding as it is you putting Ender's understanding under a stronger microscope.
While it is correct to say our arm is covered in skin to protect our body, it would also be correct to say that your arm is made up of slow moving energy that has formed a pinkish matter over more slowed energy that has formed muscle tissue and bone.
Its just a progression downwards. Like Snow.
Frozen Water
Ice particles made of compressed 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen molecule.
etc as far down as we can find
Anything lower.
While going down the branch to describe snow, they are all technically correct. None of them are incorrect if that is the answer you want.
I'd be correct in saying that its Ice particles made of compressed 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen molecule, and you'd be correct by just going to the answer all and saying everything is made of energy, for example.
But, again, choosing the answer and which to stick to is more for social interaction purposes. Scientifically, I'd presume they are all acceptable answers for the definition of snow.
Unless, of course, all of the above is the construct of humans incorrectly trying to assume we know anything. In which case, all of the above are neither correct nor incorrect.

Samia Malik's label IHTGW—short for "I Have to Get Work"—is a response to the way capitalism has structured our daily lives. Raised in a multi-cultural neighborhood in West London, Malik grew up surrounded by different religions, languages and cultures but found social unity in the city's growing music scene before studying design at Central Saint Martins. For her latest, "Collection 1," Malik explored the theme of parallel diversity more closely by examining Islamic dress codes and integration in society.
As part of her research, Malik looked at the way modern Muslim women wore the Hijab and how the dress returned to prominence in recent years. She emphasizes that fashion and religious conservatism are not incompatible, but are instead a reflection of a woman's choice to portray herself in a way befitting both her stylistic and spiritual outlook. "More women seem to be adopting the Hijab as their way of dress," she notes, "but at the same time some of them try to preserve the image of a woman who enjoys consumption of the latest disposable trends."
Malik's designs are difficult to describe without sounding unorthodox, but each piece stands for something more than clothing. "It's about integration," she explains, "different types of people surviving next to each other." Malik has continued to expand upon her original focus of interest with a number of streetwear-based collections, focusing on t-shirts, sweat tops and hooded tops, while finding new ways to integrate her politically and socially charged concepts.

Despite that gloomy statement Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear issued last week about Kentucky's diminishing chances of recruitment of the Harley-Davidson plant, local officials continue to push forward.
Monday morning the Shelby County Fiscal Court, in a specially called meeting, announced for the first time publicly that property in Shelby County has been targeted as the location where Harley-Davidson could move its plant from York, Pa., should the company decide to do so.
Wade Hembree is excited about the possibility that Shelby County could land Harley-Davidson's biggest production facility, and he is launching a campaign to help.
Out in front of his insurance office on Mount Eden Road, Hembree has put up a banner that translates to "Shelby County Loves Harley-Davidson." He is using a heart and Harley's logo as part of the phrasing. He has a spotlight pointed at the sign.
Cautiously hopeful, Harley rider Bill Hisle has some menu changes in mind for Cattleman's Road House, which he co-owns.
As Harley-Davidson scouted out its potential sites for relocation in recent months, Shelby County was visited and explored fully by the motorcycle powerhouse.
Now that the list of sites for potential relocation has been narrowed to Shelby County alone, Pennsylvania media want to know: Who is this Kentucky county that may take Harley away?
After giving its enthusiastic thumbs up last Thursday to the zone change for the Shelby County Industrial Park, Triple S Planning & Zoning took another aggressive step at its meeting Tuesday night.
With the date nearing for a final decision by officials of Harley-Davidson about whether to move their largest production facility from York County, Pa., to Shelby County, Triple S further accelerated the zoning approval for two parcels of land that might be suitable for that factory.

Lenovo looks at a deal with Research in Motion
One of many options
CHINESE SYSTEM BUILDER Lenovo is considering bidding on Research in Motion (RIM) in order to boost its mobile business.
Lenovo, which is strongly tipped to overtake HP as the largest PC maker, has been relatively quiet in the smartphone and tablet markets. However the firm's CFO Wong Wai Ming told journalists that the firm views RIM as one of many options as it looks at ways to grow its mobile business.
Talking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ming said, "We are looking at all opportunities - RIM and many others [...] We'll have no hesitation if the right opportunity comes along that could benefit us and shareholders."
Although Lenovo has been in the PC business for a long time, its surprise purchase of IBM's PC business in 2005 really helped the Chinese company take on market leaders Dell and HP.
RIM has been conducting a strategic review after years of falling behind rivals such as Apple and Samsung. Lenovo said it wouldn't comment on the report and said Ming was talking in broad terms, but it didn't deny that RIM is at least being considered as an option.
Lenovo told The INQUIRER, "We are aware that Lenovo's CFO Wai Ming was speaking broadly about M&A [mergers and acquisition] strategy in a recent interview. RIM was raised as a potential target by the journalist and Mr [Wai Ming] Wong repeatedly answered in a manner consistent with all of our previous statements on M&A strategy.
"Lenovo is very focused on growing its business, both organically and through M&A. When inorganic ideas arise, we explore them to see if there is a strategic fit."
RIM is gearing up for its Blackberry 10 launch next week, which will include new devices and the updated operating system. µ

On Saturday January 4, 2014 Psychobilly & Rockabilly great The Reverend Horton Heat with special guest Jello Biafra along with Old Man Markley hit the stage at the Knitting Factory Concert House in downtown Reno. This was the first show of 2014 at the Knit, and it was a pretty good one.
Attendance was very good for this show with around 600 hardcore rockabilly fans packing the house. This examiner even saw a few metal fans in attendance, it must be the psychobilly in them.
The night started off with bluegrass rockers Old Man Markley.
Old Man Markley is an alt/punk & bluegrass band based out of Los Angeles, CA.
Founded in 2007, the band currently consists of John Carey (lead vocals, guitar), Annie DeTemple (Autoharp, Vocals), Jeff Fuller (Drums), Joey Garibaldi (Bass, Vocals), Ryan Markley (Washboard), John Rosen (Banjo, Vocals), and Katie Weed (Fiddle). The band was signed to Fat Wreck Chords in 2010.
Markley's set lasted around 45 minutes and went just like this, (from the set list on stage).
"Clinch Mountain Backstep" (Ralph Stanley cover), "Party Shack", "Running Weight", "Train Of Thought", "For Better For Worse", "Guts N' Teeth", "Come Around Here", "Blindfold", "Blood On My Hands", "Killing Time", "In A Circle Going Round", "The Science Of Myth" (Screeching Weasel cover), "Do Me Like You Do", "Living And Learning" and "Struggling".
This band was very impressive and a perfect fit for this bill. You could really tell that all of it's members loved playing live, they were very good.
Next up was the headliner, The Reverend Horton Heat.
The Reverend Horton Heat is the stage name of American musician Jim Heath as well as the name of his Dallas, Texas-based psychobilly trio. Heath is a singer, songwriter and guitarist. One reviewer calls Heath the "godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly".
The group originally formed in 1985, playing its first gigs in Dallas's Deep Ellum neighborhood. Its current members are Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath on guitar and lead vocals, Jimbo Wallace on the upright bass, and Scott Churilla on drums. The band is currently signed to Victory Records.
Their sound is self-described as "country-fed punkabilly". Some of their songs could also be described as psychobilly. Their music is a mixture of country, surf, punk, big band, swing, and rockabilly, all played loud and energetically with lyrics that are often humorous. The band has achieved success within the genre and even in mainstream America with their songs being featured in video games and commercials.
For this show, Jello Biafra joined the band onstage and played a couple "Dead Kennedys" songs. It was very interesting, some people came just for that.
The set lasted around two hours and went like this, (from the set list on-stage)
"Victory Lap / Gasoline", "Psychobilly Freakout", "The Devil's Chasing Me", "Never Gonna Stop It", "It's Martini Time", "Zombie Dumb", "Jimbo Song", "Spend A Night In The Box", "Spooky Boots", "Like A Rocket / Indigo Friends", "Let Me Teach You How To Eat", "Oh By Jingo"(Chet Atkins cover), "Tooth Brush / Loaded Gun", "Run Rudolph Run"(Chuck Berry cover), "My Hat", "Hard Scrabble Woman", "400 Bucks", "Baddest Of The Bad", "Big Red Rocket Of Love" and three encore songs, "Bales Of Cocaine", "Galaxy 500" & "Honky Tonk Night Time Man" (Merle Haggard cover).
There was plenty of greased backed hair, side burns and lots of tattoo's, the fans really got into this show. The crowd new most of the words to nearly every song, this examiner was very impressed.
People of all ages rocked out every minute of this show, both bands put on an excellent performance.
A great time was had by all.

Before TomorrowWorld came to Atlanta, there was CounterPoint. The three-day music festival, which took place September 27-29, 2012, featured a full lineup of stellar acts including Bassnectar, Skrillex, Pretty Lights, AVICII, M83, and so many more. When TomorrowWorld was announced for 2013 during the same weekend that CounterPoint was previously held, CounterPoint fans were left to wonder whether or not the festival would make its return to Atlanta. Luckily for music fans in Atlanta, the Southeast, and, hell, all over the world, CounterPoint Music Festival returns this weekend, April 25-27.
Once again, CounterPoint's lineup is chock-full of talent. With more than 70 acts and four stages, the weekend will be filled with a ton of great shows.

What a ride this weekend is going to be!

Friday, April 25

Saturday, April 26

- Above & Beyond*
Sunday, April 27

*Super stoked
As if the lineup wasn't enough to get any music fan excited, CounterPoint Music Festival has even more to enjoy than great music.
- Art Village - Providing a visually stunning backdrop with works from a variety of artists.
- Daily workshops - Including meditation, yoga, and Scratch DJ Academy, who is offering hands-on lessons with instructors from the academy. Participants will get to take home their very own remix!
- Gamepoint - The game center will offer a variety of games including: chess, checkers, Jenga, Connect 4 and Twister in addition to some other classic yard games like cornhole, ladder golf and bocce ball! There will also be a bocce ball tournament.
- On-site activities - Such as complimentary hair styling from the professionals at Bed Head Beauty Bar.
- Silent Disco - Even more music with support from local talent and more.

Lake Superior Charter Fishing
Charter fishing on Lake Superior is an amazing experience. You'll troll along the rugged North shore, seeing the shore from a vantage point few North Shore travelers experience.
Lutsen Resort 3 Hour Charter Special
Available Thursday mornings, June 18-August 27
Charter fishing on Lake Superior is an amazing experience. You'll troll along seeing the rugged North Shore from a vantage point few other travelers experience.
For those guests wishing to sample charter fishing, Lutsen Resort has worked out a deal with Tofte Charters, a local outfitter. This is a great way for smaller groups or individuals to enjoy a charter without having to rent the whole boat. Participants are required to provide a MN fishing license with a trout stamp. One day licenses are available on the boat for $11 (MN Resident) or $13 (Non Resident), cash or check only. Make reservations through the resort Activities Desk (the 1 week sign up policy DOES NOT apply to this activity, you can sign up any time).
Lutsen Resort 4 Hour Charter Special ONLY $90/PERSON Available Thursday mornings, June 18-August 27.
You'll need to drive to the boat launch at Taconite harbor by 7:15 AM. The boat will leave at 7:30AM and return at 11:30AM. If you would like a longer half-day or full-day trip, you can make arrangements directly with Captain Darren at www.TofteCharters.com
Tofte Charters has very comfortable boats and United States Coast Guard licensed captains. You will want to bring outdoor clothing. Remember that the temperature is typically a few degrees cooler on the lake. Rainwear is also recommended if there is rain in the forecast. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages on the boat, but please no coolers. Lake Superior lake trout fishing is a great experience for all ages. You certainly need no experience to have a good time. Although Lake Trout is the primary species caught, salmon are a possible catch as well! You are able to keep the fish that you choose and the captain will take care of the cleaning process for you.

With a new studio, an established genre, and a young development team you would expect a first project to be somewhat prudent. However, Arkavi Studios based out of Portugal is seeking to rejuvenate the 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate) genre with their newborn Lords of the Black Sun.
As per the norm, you control a single race fighting for supremacy of the galaxy, exploring new stars, colonizing unfamiliar worlds, and resisting those who would oppose you. Specifically promoting the diplomacy, spying, and conspiracy aspects of 4X, Lords is available on Steam Early Access for $24.99 ($5.00 cheaper than the launch price).
What strikes us as rather unique is that despite the turn-based nature of the title you're playing on a grid-less plane. Each solar system has a sphere of influence which counts as its territory. Until a ship breaks into that zone it resides in a cloud of war, preventing you from perceiving what lies inside. Each is either empty, inhabited by an enemy, controlled by pirates, or guarded by an independent race. What perplexes us is exactly what you're supposed to do when a foe lies inside. Countless times our initial scouting ship would become trapped in enemy territory, unable to leave the influence of the opposition's world.
Although this could be accredited to us failing to understand a basic interaction mechanic, we found that Lords of the Black Sun doesn't exactly teach you as you play. Instead it offers large chunks of text to read through at a time and expects you learn through experimentation and experience.
The hex grid returns when it comes to combat however. Ships duke it out on a plane filled with asteroids and other debris which function as cover. This seems to be just one of the differentiating features of Lords.
Everything we saw looked promising, but for a 4X game Lords of the Black Sun just isn't deep enough. With initial ships getting trapped or destroyed, the game quickly devolves to a next turn simulator where all you do is wait for buildings to be made, research to be completed, and enemies to decide they're tired of your existence.
Arkavi Studios could certainly have a promising title on their hands, and it's a rather large project considering it's the studio's first game, but right now we don't know if it's entirely worth the $25 Early Access, even for hardcore fans of the genre.

Heart Disease Health Center
Race and Heart Attack Treatment
Lynn Smaha, MD, president of the American Heart Association, adds in a statement that readings of an electrocardiogram (EKG), which measures electrical activity in the heart, may not be as accurate in blacks as they are in whites. "Confirming that a heart attack has occurred may be more difficult in blacks than whites because it is harder to interpret the EKG findings," he says.
Kiefe, who is professor of medicine at UAB and director of the Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education, urges black patients not to assume that they automatically will receive worse or different treatment should they suffer a heart attack. "These findings need to be interpreted with much caution," she says. "The most important point here is that more study is needed."
For consumers who are concerned, she says, "An educated consumer is always a better patient. Learning as much as you can about [heart disease] and asking questions about things you don't understand are always helpful."
Vital Information:
- Researchers say that among patients who have had a heart attack, blacks are significantly less likely to get treatment to reopen their heart's blocked blood vessels.
- The study's authors say they are not sure why this difference exists. They add that they don't think it is a matter of racism but suggest it could be more difficult to tell whether black patients are eligible for this type of treatment.
- The researchers stress that more study is needed. Until more is learned, they urge patients to educate themselves about heart disease and ask their doctors about their treatment.

Limit download speed in Internet Download Manager (IDM)
You may need to limit the speed of your downloads with Internet Download Manager (IDM) if you do not want to use all your bandwidth. For this there are two ways to limit the speed of IDM . I'll present both of them
. – start by clicking on the " Downloads " menu =>" speed limiter "=>" Settings . A new window opens where you can set the maximum download speed for a file:Then click " OK ". Please note some Internet servers may terminate the connection when the speed is too low. Thus it is not recommended to use the speed limiter for uploading files on servers that do not have the "resume" feature activated. Finally do not forget to click " Enable in Speed menu limiter earlier.
– For the second method click Options in the main interface of Internet Download Manager (IDM). A new window will open. Go to the tab "Connection then select " Download speed limit".
So this time you can set a maximum number of MB (Mega Bytes) to download in a given time (in hours). This method is more convenient to limit the speed through multiple downloads. Finally, click on the " OK "to confirm.
Download media content in Web pages, with Internet Download Manager (IDM)
Finally be aware that Internet Download Manager (IDM) to download media (videos flv, mp3 audio ..) from web pages. When Internet Download Manager (IDM) detects a downloadable media you will have a button named" Download this file … ". The next thing to do is to select where you want to save this file.

I have never seen a Violet-Green Swallow on the ground but this little guy was lying right by the side of the trail at Lily Lake in RMNP. I had never seen one up so close that I could see his brilliant coloring.
I got my camera out and clicked away, hoping that he wasn't hurt. He just lay there and looked at us…and everyone else who passed by.
His coloring was just beautiful! Isn't he gorgeous?
After about 10 minutes, he got up and flew away. What a fun experience!

Don't kid around with the IRS
Dear Dollar Diva,
What is the penalty for claiming more dependents than you actually
have if you get caught by the IRS? I've heard that a lot of people
change their withholding allowances from their actual, say, two
dependents to 50.
You heard wrong. There is a 75 percent penalty on
any underpayment of taxes that is due to fraud. This keeps most
people from claiming more dependents than they actually have.
However, if you think you are having too much tax
withheld from your paycheck, you can legitimately reduce that amount
by increasing your withholding allowances on Form
W-4. If you plan to do any of the following, you might be able
to increase your withholding allowances and decrease your withholding
File as head of household
Claim a child or dependent care credit
Claim a child tax credit
Itemize, instead of taking the standard
Claim adjustments to income, such as alimony,
student loan interest or a deductible IRA
The instructions on Form W-4 will walk you through
the steps to come up with the correct withholding allowances for
your tax situation. Visit the IRS Web site to retrieve this form.
It's a good idea to go through the steps on the Form
W-4 and have your withholding adjusted for the following year if
you're not happy at tax time because:
Too much tax was withheld and you are receiving
a large refund, or
Not enough tax was withheld and you have
to pay a large tax bill.

Malaria is one of the most infectious diseases. It's transmitted through a mosquito bite.
Chipola College Virginia Baker says the results can be fatal. "The infection affects every part of the body from the liver to the spleen and then finally to the brain."
Malaria causes more than three million deaths each year.
Most of those occur in subtropical places like Africa and Asia, but Bill Dean, with the Jackson County Health Department says the risk of getting the disease right in your back yard is bigger than you think.
"We have actually had some human cases of malaria in Florida, last year," Dean said.
Officials say the illness doesn't live here, but is brought here.
"There are mosquitoes that are here in Florida that can carry malaria, so if a person made a trip somewhere else, was undiagnosed, went on a fishing trip, a mosquito bit that person, then that mosquito would be able to transmit that disease to another person. And in America, we do not have the immune system to be able to deal with some of these strains especially with Peripheral Malaria," Baker explains.
Baker says standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes; with no way off fighting off the disease, many have worried about a malaria epidemic, but Baker says now there is hope.
"We were able to find that there was something call nutria-filled extracellular traps; these nest for short actually take the parasite and actually hold onto the parasite and actually kill," Baker continued.
If you look at a series of pictures from a normal cell infected by malaria, you'll see the cell exposed and forms what look like a cloud filled with parasites.
Baker says that cloud is the major part of the discovery, because it clogs your vein and decreases the flow of oxygen, preventing vaccines from working.
"If we know the child has a bad response to DNA then we can do something to block that bad response before the vaccine is ever administered," Baker concluded.
Chipola College is currently setting up a lab so Baker can continue her research in hopes of finding a way to block the cloud from forming.
Baker was part of a 15 person team working on the malaria vaccination research.

One restaurant that won't be participating in Laguna Beach's four-day "A La Carte" event this weekend is Katsuya.
The restaurant's Los Angeles parent company, sbe, said Katsuya's last day of operation is Monday. Laguna locals can get "50% off all menu items today for our last day of operations," the company said.
"While the restaurant enjoyed nearly two years of success in the community, sbe is pursuing a new Orange County location for the brand," the company said in a statement. "Despite the closure, sbe remains committed to the Laguna Beach community through its partnership in the Umami Burger property, as well as its desire to find future Laguna Beach locations for its hotel, restaurant and nightlife brands."
The Japanese restaurant opened in the summer 2011 in the former Hush space in Laguna Beach. The concept was a collaboration between master sushi chef Katsuya Uechi and designer Philippe Starck.
Address: 858 S. Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach

The two most prominent names remaining on the New Orleans Saints' list of unsigned free agents are fullback Heath Evans and safety Darren Sharper.
Coach Sean Payton confirmed on Sunday that the team plans to part ways with Evans after signing fullback Korey Hall in free agency. Sharper, meanwhile, said he's not close to a decision yet on where he'll play in 2011. He said the Saints are still a possibility but he's "ready to play for any contender."
Evans has not yet offered comment on the Saints' decision to replace him or what his next step might be. He has said repeatedly in the past that the only two teams he wants to play for are the Saints and New England Patriots. It remains possible that he could move into his second career as a television analyst, something he's been doing more and more of in recent years.
The 32-year-old veteran joined the Saints as a free agent in 2009 after spending his first eight seasons in Seattle, Miami and New England. Although a knee injury limited him to just six games during that Super Bowl season, he made just as big of an impact on the Saints as a locker-room leader.
He's also a fan favorite who was active in the community, highlighted by his charity softball tournament that brought most of the Saints' stars together each spring at Zephyr Field.
Hall, who turned 28 last week, was a solid blocker and receiver out of the backfield for the Green Bay Packers. More importantly, he is a standout special teams player, which is an area the Saints want to improve.
Payton also praised the performance of young backup fullback Jed Collins so far during training camp. Collins spent part of last season on the Saints' practice squad.

- Paperback Edition
- Publication Date: 09-01-2011
- Page Count: 144
- Categories: Forthcoming, LGBTQ, Media/Journalism
Hailed as "the greatest cabaret artist of [V's] generation" in the New Yorker, Mx. Justin Vivian Bond makes a brilliant literary debut with this candid and hilarious coming-of-age tale.
Bond recalls in vivid detail how it looked and felt to first discover Mom's lipstick (Iced Watermelon by Revlon), and how dreary it could be for a trans/queer kid to join the Cub Scouts. Always haunted by the knowledge of being "different," Bond began to create intimate friendships with girls, and to feel increasingly at risk with boys. But when the bully next door wanted to meet secretly, Bond couldn't resist. Their trysts went on for years, making Bond acutely aware of how sexual power and vulnerability can be experienced at the same time. With inimitable style, Bond raises issues about LBGTQ adolescence, parenting trans/queer children, and bullying, while being utterly entertaining.
"Tango is a raw nerve touching an electric soul, a beautiful book, written with honesty, pain, and joy from one of our great modern day shamans."
"Justin Bond has written a very important book for all of us to read.
Thank you, Justin, for your courage in writing the truth of what you went through as a transgender child in this society. Thank you, also, for your sense of humor. It made the book fun to read as well."
"Tango should be in the hands of every child who can read, and of every adult who cares about that child."
"Bond's fabulosity is matched by a trenchant wit, and [V's] over-the-top stories are smartly edged with politics, sexual or otherwise."
"Reading Tango is like listening to your favorite eccentric cousin or auntie tell you hair-dressing tales of innocence lost and found, friendships forged of adversity, and bullies bewildered by their own perversity. Justin Vivian spins a one-of-a-kind story that you won't be able to put down."
"When I say Justin Vivian is a true original, what I mean is, Justin doesn't resemble anyone else on the face of the planet. When I say Justin Vivian Bond is touched by genius, I mean exactly that."
"Justin Vivian Bond is a lighting rod, a solid steel structure hin heels that attracts burning chaos and disciplines it into orderly submission. Am I allowed to say that Justin is a God?"

Senior Jonathan Williams rushed for a career-high 109 yards and added a personal-best 50 receiving yards.
Sept. 11, 2010

Coach McNeill's Post-Game Comments via All-Access l Offensive Coordinator Riley's Comments via All-Access l Player Post-Game Comments via All-Access
GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - East Carolina junior quarterback Dominique Davis accounted for five touchdowns and Jonathan Williams had a career day, collecting personal bests in rushing yards (109), receptions (six) and receiving yards (50) as the Pirates (2-0, 2-0 Conference USA) defeated Memphis (0-2, 0-1) 49-27 Saturday afternoon.
Davis threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores, keeping first-year head coach Ruffin McNeill unbeaten at his alma mater while giving the two-time defending Conference USA champion a fast start in league play. McNeill became just the fifth coach in program history to start his Pirate career 2-0 and the first since Bill Lewis defeated Bowling Green and Cincinnati in 1989.
Derek Blacknall returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown in a dominating start for the Pirates, who last week needed a last-play touchdown pass to beat Tulsa 51-49 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. This time, the Pirates ran out to a 28-3 first-quarter lead and coasted the rest of the way in front of another big home crowd.
The 100 points scored in the first two games this season by the Pirates are the most tallied in the initial two games of a year in program history. The previous high was 75 in 1953, when East Carolina downed Wilson Teachers 41-0 and Lenoir-Rhyne 34-0.
"Even I heard, 'Good game last week,' as I was walking to the stadium, so I know the players got it on campus," McNeill said. "And deservedly so, but that's one thing I did worry about: them having a hangover from that win."
That wasn't a problem, as the Tigers never got within two possessions after the opening period.
"We got off to a very slow start," first-year head coach Larry Porter said. "We put our defense in some tough situations."
The Pirates have some positives to build on heading into a three-game road trip. First comes a pair of games against No. 13 Virginia Tech and instate rival North Carolina of the Atlantic Coast Conference, then a league road game at Southern Mississippi.
Unlike last week when the offense had to make all the big plays, the defense came up with three turnovers in the first quarter that led to touchdowns. The Pirates converted their three forced turnovers into three touchdowns. In seven games since 2009, ECU has forced 17 turnovers and converted them into 13 scores with nine touchdowns.
"We had a lot of opportunities and we should've scored some more points," offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. "That was the first time in a game that all three sides have really got on a run and strung some series together. Last week it was just hit or miss."
Davis turned in another solid performance leading the no-huddle attack McNeill and Riley brought from Texas Tech. After throwing for 383 yards and five scores against Tulsa, Davis found Giavanni Ruffin and Dwayne Harris for first-quarter scores and completed 13 of his first 14 passes on the way to 244 yards. Davis' two rushing touchdowns made him the first Pirate signal caller to rush for touchdowns in consecutive games since Rob Kass Oct. 6 and 13, 2007, against UCF and UTEP.
On the opening play of the contest, Harris hauled in a five-yard reception, making him the first player in East Carolina history to reach 2,000 receiving yards. He is already the Pirate career leader in receptions (180) and receiving yards, finished the day with 2,053 career yards.
"All we have to do is focus on the little things and the rhythm will catch," Davis said. "It can catch after the first play."
Meanwhile, a defense that returned just two starters and allowed 49 points last week got off to its own fast start. First it recovered a botched snap deep in Memphis territory to set up Davis' first TD pass, then Blacknall grabbed a badly overthrown pass from Cannon Smith over the middle and raced to the end zone for a 14-0 lead just five-and-a-half minutes in.
East Carolina also recovered a fumble on a handoff between Smith and Jerrell Rhodes to set up Williams' two-yard run for the 28-3 lead.
"The confidence level is boosted tremendously," said linebacker Dustin Lineback, who had a career-high 13 tackles, including three for a loss after having just one-and-a-half for a loss during his first three seasons at ECU. "Sacks are going to happen and picks are going to happen, so we've just got to execute the defense as called and we'll be successful like that."
The 2-0 start for East Carolina is only its third since 1990 as the Pirates were undefeated in the opening two games in 1999 (West Virginia, Duke) and 2008 (Virginia Tech, West Virginia). ECU also opens league play at 2-0 for the second-straight season and only the fourth time since joining the league in 1997. ECU was also 2-0 in 2001 and 2002, defeating Tulane and Army to open C-USA action.

Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything – including the paint and undercoating – then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.

Simpson & The Bailout, Redux: Why Risk So Much for So Little?
UPDATE: On Monday, Oct. 27, we heard back from Simpson Thacher, which issued the following statement:
Simpson Thacher is pleased to be assisting the U.S. Department of the Treasury in implementing the government's Capital Purchase Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. . . . Simpson Thacher is advising Treasury on the development and implementation of the program, including drafting standard form documentation to be used by all participating banks. . . . Our billing arrangements with Treasury, as with all of our clients, are confidential, but reflect the public service nature of this engagement.
When, earlier this week, we posted our guesstimations on Simpson Thacher's hourly rates for the firm's bailout work, some Law Blog commenters expressed surprise that Simpson would risk so much for so little. Just $300,000? What about all the conflicts the work could create?
Luckily for us, BusinessWeek tackles that very issue in this story. Simpson, writes BizWeek, has had dealings with banks that either played a role in the financial crisis or will be receiving capital injections, from Lehman to WaMu. So with crummy pay and the potential for major headaches, why would Wall Street firms like Simpson seek bailout work? One possible answer: reputation.
As the firm that Treasury turned to at a critical time, argues BizWeek, Simpson will see its reputation blossom. That, along with the expertise it gains working on the bailout, will be a boon in recruiting future clients. One source familiar with the firm's Treasury contract told, "It's good for the country, it's good for business, it's good for the profile."
Our call to Simpson Thacher was not immediately returned.
LB Readers: Pretend you're a Simpson partner deciding whether to take the bailout work. What's running through your head?

LOS ANGELES, Calif.
After sweeping matches against Navy and Air Force to open the 2004 season last weekend, the Bruins will look to continue their winning ways against Cal Baptist at 5 p.m. Thursday at the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. The Lancers, 3-1 as of Monday morning, won their season opener against Lindenwood on September 13 before departing for four matches in Hawaii last week. After handling Chaminade 20-7 during their first match at BYU-Hawaii, Cal Baptist fell 14-9 to the hosting Seasiders. The Lancers then bounced back with another 13-6 victory over Chaminade before their scheduled rematch with BYU-Hawaii on Monday night. Senior utility Goran Milic has led the Lancers thus far with 11 goals.
BRUINS ONE OF NINE TOP 10 TEAMS SET TO COMPETE IN SO CAL TOURNEY: Fourteen top-20 schools will face off this weekend at the USC-hosted SoCal Tournament. Among the schools entered are MPSF rivals Stanford, UCSB, Long Beach State, Pepperdine, Cal and Pacific. The Bruins will play their first match against Pepperdine at 3 p.m. on Saturday at off-campus Commerce Pool. UCLA will then play Cal Baptist at 7:45 p.m. at the same location to determine their seed for the Sunday's final rounds.
ORMSBY LEADS BRUINS OVER #11 NAVY WITH SIX GOALS: Senior attacker Brett Ormsby wasted no time getting back into collegiate action after a summer at the Olympics. The El Cajon native e exploded to tie a career high with six goals against the U.S. Naval Academy in the Bruins' season-opening 14-4 victory. Ormsby netted his first goal with 2:26 remaining in the first quarter and then went on to score three more times in under three minutes later in the second quarter.
Rounding out a successful opening weekend, UCLA scored three goals in the first quarter and never looked back as the Bruins knocked off the Falcons 9-3. David Pietsch and Michael March each scored twice and Josh Hewko, Albert Garcia, Grant Zider, John Blanchette and Ormsby each also got into the action.
UCLA, who finished the 2003 season with a #3 national ranking, begins 2004 in the same slot. The Collegiate Water Polo Association's Top 20 poll, which is released every Wednesday, placed the Bruins third behind #1 Stanford and #2 USC. With 92 points, UCLA is trailed by Cal and Pepperdine to round out the top five.
A bastion of the UCLA men's water polo program as a player and coach, Adam Krikorian begins his sixth season as head coach for both the men's and women's programs and his 11th season on the Bruin staff. After sharing the head coaching duties with Guy Baker for two seasons, Krikorian is in his third season alone at the helm of the two programs.
A winner of nine national championships as a player and a coach, Krikorian has amassed a 94- 30 record in his five seasons with the UCLA men's team. He is second among active water polo coaches in NCAA Championships won with two.
