It was thirsty work for a trio of semi-naked Waikato
University students, who moments after crossing the finishing
line at the top of Dunedin's Baldwin St yesterday showered
themselves in the sponsor's product.
Teina Walters (18), Max Cumpstone (18) and Jules Craft (19)
left Auckland on Friday armed only with Red Bull to trade for
transport, food and lodging.
Their 54-hour journey took them to checkpoints at Hamilton,
Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch, before they
won the ''Red Bull Can You Make It'' competition.
Mr Craft said his team was running last at almost every
checkpoint and was about to give up when they found
themselves stuck on the wrong side of Cook Strait with no
''We went nuts and ran into Homegrown [music festival] with
this big sign saying 'please donate, we are very poor' and
every time someone donated we gave them Red Bull ... and made
the money in 40 minutes.''
They arrived in Dunedin just after noon yesterday, winning
$1500 for their troubles, and along with the other five
competing teams would receive flights back to their
respective campuses.
The trio said they were looking forward to partying at Otago
University's O-Week.

International lenders ease austerity demands on Portugal
Lisbon: Portugal's efforts to balance its accounts once again earned the approval of the European Union and International Monetary Fund, which agreed to give the Iberian nation more time to meet deficit-reduction targets.
Portuguese Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar made the announcement Friday, saying he was satisfied with the decision by the international lenders to give the country another year to come up with 4 billion euros (USD 5.2 billion) in spending cuts.
The approval by the so-called "troika" of the European Commission, European Central Bank and the IMF will allow Portugal to receive its next 2-billion-euro tranche of loans, meaning that 90 percent of a bailout package approved in May 2011 would have been distributed.
Gaspar said Portugal will now be expected to bring its budget deficit down to 5.5 percent of gross domestic product by the end of 2013 - one percentage point higher than the previous target - 4 percent of GDP by 2014 - one-and-a-half percentage points higher than previously - and 2.5 percent of GDP by 2015.

Attempted suicide in Lafourche jail
An inmate in the Lafourche Parish jail is recovering after unsuccessfully trying to choke himself with a bed sheet Monday morning, police said.
Marvin J. Lee, 46, was found by guards with a sheet wrapped around his neck and tied to the bars in his jail cell, police said.
Guards and medical staff performed CPR until Lee could be transported to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, where he resumed breathing on his own, authorities said.
Lee, jailed on Nov. 3 for a contempt of court charge related to a child support case, has a history of mental illness but was not considered a suicide risk, authorities said.
Lee was released from jail on a $10,000 bond Monday.
Accused gunman arrested Monday
The suspect in an October shooting on Parish Road was arrested Monday, police said.
Darrel Jackson, 22, 619 Poplar St., Thibodaux, shot at the moving car eight times from his home, Thibodaux Police said. Investigators are still unsure why the shots were fired, and the case remains under investigation, police said.
Jackson was booked on charges of illegal use of a weapon and aggravated assault with a firearm. He remained in the Lafourche Parish jail today in lieu of a $250,000 bond.

Trosclair managed the Prospect Shell, 9303 Park Ave. He stole the money from the cash register, police said. The owner reported the money missing Monday, police said.
Trosclair, charged with theft over $500, was at the Terrebonne jail this morning in lieu of an $8,000 bond.
Son accused of attempted arson
A 30-year-old allegedly tried to set fire to his family's trailer Monday afternoon after fighting with his sister about money, deputies said.
Carl Eschete Jr., 225 Santa Monica Drive, slapped his 25-year-old sister in the face, sprayed lighter fluid around the mobile home, lit it on fire and drove off, authorities said.
Eschete's mother extinguished the flames with a garden hose. The trailer was not damaged, police said.
Eschete faces charges of attempted aggravated arson and simple battery.
He remained in the Terrebonne Parish jail this morning in lieu of a $150,000 bond.
Teen accused of sexual battery
A teenager is accused of inappropriately touching two 15-year-old girls Friday night at Southland Mall, Terrebonne sheriff's deputies said.
Leroy Naquin III, 18, 227 Idlewild Drive, Houma, allegedly harassed and fondled the girls at the mall, 5953 W. Park Ave., Houma, and then left.
Naquin faces two charges of sexual battery and is free on $10,000 bond, police said.

This image, according to CNN iReport contributor Matthew Dishler, shows three white students at New York state's Waverly High School wearing blackface during a skit at the school's homecoming pep rally:
Three white students were to perform a skit in black face, depicting Chris Brown and Rhianna [sic] most notibly [sic]. In this skit they would display acts of domestic violence as satire to an audience that included not only students but parents, faculty, and various members of the media and community leaders. None of them stopped the skit.
The story, published early Monday morning, has stirred up plenty of conversation in the Waverly community. Students and alumni have shown support and shame. But more often than not, the response seems to be defensive.
Apparently, this is not the first blackface sketch in Waverly — a village with a 97 percent white population, according to the 2010 census.

A Season of MiraclesRusty Whitener
For twelve-year-old Zack Ross, life revolves around Little League. The 1971 season is his last chance to win the championship and with the help of a new power hitter named Rafer, that just might happen. Though Rafer is a little different, he can hit a baseball farther than J... Read More
More From: Rusty Whitener
As the season gets underway, it seems like nothing-not Rafer's differences, the war in Vietnam, or the attention of a girl named Rebecca-will deter Zack and his team from their goal. But little by little, Rafer begins to make an impression on them all, giving them small gifts that seem awkward at first but are soon overshadowed by a gift they never saw coming-a miracle in the making. When Rafer is suddenly hospitalized, the team bands together, determined to stand by their new friend, determined to win the trophy in his honor. Larger questions of faith and love trouble Zack's mind, but in the end, he will see there's more to life than winning or losing. And years later as he looks back, he will finally understand the real miracle of the season-the gift of God's grace.
"A Season of Miracles" is a compelling story of a friendship characterized by differences and of grace despite flaws. At times hilarious and at times tearful, it will bring southern fiction fans back to the simpler days they've long forgotten-and will never let them go.

ATLANTA (AP) - House leaders are offering a compromise plan to
grease the skids on a transportation sales tax proposal that has
been stuck in legislative gridlock.
The House measure introduced Wednesday would allow counties to
band together to levy the tax for regional transportation projects
if a 2010 constitutional amendment for a statewide one-percent
sales tax for infrastructure improvement fails.
State Rep. Vance Smith, the House's top transportation official,
said the proposal was designed to blend dueling plans that are
being pushed by House and Senate lawmakers.
The House has held firm on a statewide sales tax while Senate
leaders advocate for the plan to allow counties to band together
and impose the tax hike locally.

Invariably the sheer number of hunters hitting the great outdoors uncovers some unusual items every fall. This fall a Montana elk hunter was lucky enough to stumble across the fossil remains of a carnivore from 75 million years ago.
The Daily Mail [2] has a story about David Bradt and his unusual find.
David Bradt, who was hunting elk, stumbled on the largely intact fossilised remains of a plesiosaur in Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, in Montana, U.S. Mr Bradt, who manages a guest ranch in Montana's Bitterroot Valley, said: 'At first I didn't realise what I was looking at. 'Then I realised it wasn't just an interesting piece of rock, I was looking at a rib. I was awestruck.'

Kate Abandons Modernity, Steps Back in Time to Marry Her Prince
Kate Middleton went to university, got a job and moved in with her boyfriend. From that modern background, she'll step back in time tomorrow when she marries Prince William.
Middleton will wed the second-in-line to the throne at Westminster Abbey in London at 11 a.m. in front of a worldwide television audience of 2 billion. When William becomes Britain's monarch, she will be queen. It's the U.K.'s biggest royal event since the funeral in 1997 of William's mother, Diana, who failed to cope with the pressures that came with being the wife of the next king.
The bride is the first woman from outside royalty or the aristocracy to marry so close to the throne for 350 years. The daughter of an ex-air hostess, she'll be the first future royal consort with a degree. Even so, she's been preparing to be a princess and to deal with the scrutiny since they began dating in 2003. Now she takes on a job that includes producing the next royal heir.
Middleton "knows exactly what she is getting into," said Hugo Vickers, the author of "Elizabeth, The Queen Mother," a biography of William's great-grandmother and an adviser on the Oscar-winning movie, "The King's Speech." "She has had seven or eight years to think about it and she's very well educated."
The prince, who's 28, encountered 29-year-old Middleton when they were students at St. Andrews University in Scotland. She graduated in art history; he has a degree in geography.
Party Pieces
Middleton -- baptized Catherine Elizabeth -- is the eldest child of Michael and Carole Middleton, who met when both worked for British Airways Plc. They set up Party Pieces, a company supplying party accessories. Described in the U.K. press as self-made millionaires, they haven't disclosed how wealthy they are.
The family has lived in the village of Bucklebury in Berkshire, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of London, where Party Pieces is based, for the past 30 years. Michael Middleton is originally from Leeds in northern England, while Carole is from the west London suburbs.
After leaving university, Kate worked part-time as a junior buyer for the women's fashion chain Jigsaw before quitting that job for her parents' company. In 2008, she launched First Birthdays, a sister brand to Party Pieces. Her role within the family business included catalogue design and production, marketing and photography, according to Prince William's office.
William -- blond, blue-eyed and 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 meters) tall -- is a flight lieutenant in the Royal Air Force. With a fortune of 28 million pounds ($46 million) according to the Sunday Times Rich List, he was one of the world's most eligible bachelors.
Back to Ethelberht
Four generations of the House of Windsor have reigned over Britain since Edward VII ascended the throne in 1901 after the death of his mother, Victoria. His son, George V, changed the name of the ruling family during World War I from the German Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
The earliest monarch named on the royal family's website is Ethelberht, who ruled Kent from around 560 to 616 and was the first English king to convert to Christianity.
That long history is littered with royal wives who were unable to live up to the ideal, whatever their background.
Middleton "is essentially pursuing and achieving a very old-fashioned view of happily-ever-after, one that hasn't worked out well for many princesses from Anne Boleyn to Diana," Peggy Orenstein, a San Francisco-based commentator on women's affairs and author of "Cinderella Ate My Daughter," a book about many young girls' obsession with fairytale princesses, said in an e-mail exchange.
Off With Her Head
Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, was beheaded in 1536 on charges of treason, adultery and incest after failing to produce a male heir.
Diana Spencer, an aristocrat who married William's father, Prince Charles, in 1981, found the public scrutiny intolerable and suffered from eating disorders. The marriage ended in divorce and she died at age 36 after a car crash in Paris, pursued by paparazzi photographers.
Sarah Ferguson married Charles's brother, Prince Andrew, in 1986 and divorced 10 years later.
Diana and Sarah "were not going into it blind either but they were not well educated," Vickers said in a telephone interview. "Kate has a degree."
William first became enamored of his future bride when she modeled a see-through dress at a university charity fashion show in 2002. The couple were just friends before the prince, who paid 200 pounds for a front-row seat, saw her sashaying down the runway. The knitted lace outfit sold on March 17 this year at an auction in London for 78,000 pounds.
'Waity Katie'
The pair failed to announce their engagement for many years, confounding media predictions. As a result, she was nicknamed "Waity Katie" by British tabloid newspapers. Later she moved to rural North Wales to live with William near his air-force base.
"I wanted to give her a chance to see in and to back out if she needed to before it all got too much," William said in a television interview when the engagement was announced on Nov. 17. "I'm trying to learn from lessons done in the past and I just wanted to give her the best chance to settle in and to see what happens on the other side."
For all the modern approach, the prince and his bride-to-be won't be breaking the mold, according to Claudia Joseph, author of "Kate: The Making of a Princess."
'Very Old-Fashioned'
"They are a very traditional couple -- their manners, the way they behave," Joseph said in a telephone interview. "They look very old-fashioned compared to the current vogue for current reality television stars."
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who will marry the couple tomorrow, said he'd been struck by the way they had approached the marriage.
"William and Catherine are making this commitment very much in the public eye and they're sensible, realistic young people," the archbishop said in a statement released by his office last week. "They know what the cost of that might be."
Middleton's real work -- the role of queens and princesses down the centuries -- will start after she walks down the aisle later this month.
"One of her great duties apart from making her husband happy is to produce the next generation of the House of Windsor," Vickers said.
Middleton's middle-class background may not be that much of a hindrance as she enters the royal arena fully, in Vickers's view.
"The way the queen copes with the contrasts of life is that when she is not being the queen or entertaining officially she feeds the dogs herself and watches the TV," he said. "She uses Tupperware and rides her horses. She is not on a millionaire's yacht. The royal family do lead quite a middle-class life."

MIDVALE — So this is where it's come to.
Daynes Music, a company that has been around since 1862 — the oldest family-run business in the state and 76th oldest in the entire United States of America — is perched on a half-acre of asphalt on south State Street in that part of the Salt Lake Valley where Murray melds into Midvale. On one side is a sushi restaurant, while on the other is a place that sells hot tubs.
My, how times have changed.
And my, how they haven't.
Gerald R. "Skip" Daynes is the perfect spokesman for Daynes Music. He, too, is older than he looks. At 75, he still has all his hair, sports a healthy tan, has about as much body fat as a bike racer and appears rather like an aging surfer boy than a man hoisting a 152-year-old business on his shoulders.
It's not easy, and he'll be the first to tell you. Try keeping anything going for a century and a half. Then add in the fact that it's pianos you're selling. For one thing, pianos don't wear out. Instruments that were made a hundred and more years ago are still sitting in the living room, going strong. For another thing, there's a lot more competition than there was in 1862 — so many more inventions vying for the consumer's musically oriented dollars. IPads, for one example, and electric guitars, for another.
But there's plenty to say for momentum — something Skip thanks heaven for every day. Despite all the reasons that maybe it shouldn't still be in business, Daynes Music has behind it the inertia that was set into motion 152 summers ago when an Englishman named John Daynes and his son, Joseph, lugged an organ onto a handcart in Iowa that they pointed westward, grabbed ahold of and set out for Salt Lake City and the Mormon Zion.
A thousand miles later, they lifted the organ out and announced that it, along with various other musical instruments they'd brought with them, were for sale.
"We've been in business ever since," Skip proudly states.
At his store in Midvale, the Deseret News sat down with Skip Daynes, the fourth-generation owner of Daynes Music, for a conversation about longevity, legacy and the fine art of selling pianos.
DN: Congratulations on Daynes Music entering its 153rd straight year. According to Family Business Magazine, yours is the 76th-oldest family-owned business in the country, and America's second-oldest music store, period, behind only Steinert's of Boston, which opened just two years earlier, in 1860. To what do you ascribe your ability to endure, endure, endure?
SD: I think there are three main reasons why we're still here. One is because of all the wonderful people we've had around us through the years, starting with the wonderful people great-grandfather gathered around him when he first came to the valley. You cannot do it without really good help. Two is our willingness to work hard and to do what it takes when times change, and three is having a quality product. You can't stay in business unless you have a product that people want.
DN: For you, that means Steinway pianos?
SD: Steinway has indeed been our mainstay through the years. We started with them in 1873, just 20 years after they opened for business. We're the oldest Steinway dealer west of New York. We've sold thousands and thousands of Steinway pianos. If Henry Steinway were alive I'm confident he would stand in this office and confirm he knows of no one who's sold more Steinway pianos than us. There's just so much quality in each piano. It takes a whole year to build each Steinway, and 95 percent of the top artists in the world are Steinway artists. They now make Boston and Essex pianos so there are lower-price brands as well.
DN: Tell us about the "All-Steinway School" concept that you helped perpetuate and how that's helped you stay in business.

Thread: Employee Shows Up Drunk to Work

Employee Shows Up Drunk to Work
Hypothetical situation: Employee shows up drunk or under the influence of some substance to work.
Is this an automatic firing, or is there another sanction or warning before firing? As in, the employee is suspended for the day/week without pay?
I'm curious of your policy.John Carlisle

Re: Employee Shows Up Drunk to Work
Can't fire him or her on the spot unless we have their final check ready (California).
So I would give him or her 3 days off then on the 4th day hand them their final check (with the additional 4hrs pay for coming in to get canned).
Can you imagine the safety hazard to themselves, the facility, and tenants. DUI on a golf cart can cause a lot of damage. Or some of the power tools, or the gate
Reasoning for termination on the paperwork: At-will employment clause in our Employer-Employee agreement.
I would not put down anywhere that the employee was drunk, even if we could smell the booze on them. We don't have Breathalyzers or other tests. And with this litigation happy world, it would probably be cheaper to pay the unemployment for a while then to go to court for wrongful termination.--

Re: Employee Shows Up Drunk to Work
An employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages, including accrued vacation, immediately at the time of termination. Labor Code Sections 201 and 227.3
That's why we do the 3 days--

Re: Employee Shows Up Drunk to Work
I know there are many instances where emps have come to work (or while at work become) "under the influence". No arguement there; let the punishment fit the crime. Still, I offer a words of caution on instantly declaring someone "under the influence" and terminating them post haste...make sure the circumstances are what they appear to be. In another life and totally unrelated line of work, one day a hullabahloo broke out in the office where I was working. The fur was flying when it was reported by another worker that someone had arrived at work "drunk". The emp in question displayed what might be considered the "typical" signs of "intoxication". When a supervisor engaged the emp, they demanded keys to the company vehicle which he drove to/from work/home and told then emp that he was going to be written up and possibly faced termination for coming to work "drunk". All the while, the emp professed innocence. Everyone in the higher tower was sooooo peeved about this guy and they were looking for his head on a platter. He was "suspended" pending review on the spot and taken home with stern warnings. Turned out that the emp was a diabetic but never knew it (yes, folks, it can happen that someone isn't aware just how sick they are). His "drunkedness" was really his being in a serious diabetic state which landed him in the hospital later that day when he collapsed at home. He recovered and got on meds. Of course, everyone was so apologetic...little comfort to someone who stands as the innocent condemed.

Tasmania's Heritage Highway region, the historic heart of our island state!
Zooming up the Midland Highway between Hobart and Launceston will only take you a couple of hours. But we have a better idea; take your time, and discover why 200 years on, there is still plenty of ways to get held up on the Heritage Highway, and there's not a bushranger in sight.
You'll love travelling the countryside between the villages and towns, taking in the rolling hills, vast paddocks and stunning views of distant mountains. The sky is amazing, the colours and light change throughout the day and our night skies are spectacular.
Along the southern part of the highway see if you can spot the Shadows of the Past, silhouettes depicting scenes from our colonial days, including chain gang convicts, a doctor in his buggy, bushrangers, stagecoaches, a shepherd, surveyors, soldiers, Tasmanian Tigers and emus.
Take your time and experience our living history and relaxed country lifestyle. Visit some of Tasmania's finest rural estates, including World Heritage Listed Convict Built sites; wander a rose garden that boasts 5,000 blooms; enjoy exceptional trout fishing; uncover the stories of ordinary girls in extraordinary circumstances at a female convict prison; discover the legend behind the intricate carvings on the stunning historic Ross Bridge; take a tour to the very top inside a working historic flour mill as the majestic blades catch the wind; admire a gorgeous Red Bridge (watch out for the ducks!); visit museums and learn the stories of the amazing people, places and events that helped to shape Tasmania.
Shoppers will fall in love with all kinds of shopping experiences: antiques, books, art, craft, markets, quirky stores, boutiques, and delicious food.
Adventurers will be thrilled with all kinds of activities: fishing, rock climbing, cycling, mountain biking, walking, hiking and skiing (seasonal).
Play Skulduggery and solve a local crime at Longford, Ross or Oatlands, and follow in the footsteps of a convict field policeman.
There are festivals, celebrations and events along the entire region throughout the year.
The role of convicts in shaping the landscape and social fabric of Tasmania's Heritage Highway region is a story of hardship and survival. More than 90% of the convicts to Van Diemen's Land were part of the Assignment system. Toiling on farms and in domestic situations, road gangs and other government infrastructure projects, the skills and labour, and many highly skilled trades of the assigned convicts was a cheap workforce that enabled many landowners to build grand estates and prosper, as well as the roads and bridges that opened up the interior of Tasmania. Theirs is a lasting legacy.
The Essential Doggy Guide
For all dogs travelling Tasmania's Heritage Highway Region with their humans.
The team at Heritage Highway are very excited to announce the release of a brand new guide to dog friendly travel around our region.
Written from a canine perspective, this fun book provides first-paw advice on the places to stay, woof down food, play and pawty. It's an excellent resource, makes a great gift, will look cool on your coffee table and is a must for all dog lovers!

Elmo, Grover, and Cookie Monster board a bus and meet some wacky passengers, including a furball with a boombox, frogs, cows, a brass band, and a family of yipping Martians. The sound effects in the chorus reflect the voices and activities of the passengers in a way that will have little ones and adults laughing out loud as they join in the song.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Tablet Review
We dissect Samsung's best tablet yet.
Gaze Upon Samsung's Works
Though the newest Galaxy Tab 8 and Galaxy Tab 10 recently crumbled under the weight of our testing protocols, the newest Galaxy Note 10.1 ($549 MSRP) is the complete opposite—with Samsung's best mobile screen ever, this is a special tablet. It's heartening to see the electronics giant end the year on such a high Note.
The Galaxy Note brings with it some experiments of Samsung's, and while some of them whiff, others knock it out of the park when it comes to user appeal. The stylus is great for handwriting and the faux-leather back offers a spiffy look and an unusual grip. It's a solid tablet, and can handle just about anything that's thrown at it. Many might not like the design choices of TouchWiz (Samsung's skin of Android) but the Galaxy Note 10.1 has all the hardware in place to be one of the best tablets on the market currently.
Still a flat, white rectangle, but with goodies inside
You can only say so much about flat plastic rectangles, but at least Samsung managed one unusual flourish: The back of the 10.1 is covered with an attractive faux-leather that not only feels great on your fingers, but lends an unusually stylish overall look.
On the inside of the Galaxy Note 10.1, you still get the whole host of hardware features enthusiasts love about the Samsung tablet family. A microSD card slot allows expandable storage, an IR blaster can control your home theater from your tablet, and the S-Pen gives you a stylus that works very well with creative apps. And the list trails on from there:
• Exynos 1.3GHz processor
• 2560 x 1600 TFT liquid crystal display
• TouchWiz-flavored Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean)
• Bluetooth 4.0
• cutting-edge wireless card (802.11ac)
Charging is accomplished through a microUSB port on the bottom of the unit, which also allows drag'n'drop file sharing when connected to your home's PC. The headphone jack is placed so that it's unlikely to bother you when you're holding the tablet, and the S-Pen stores neatly inside the device from the side. On the faux-leather back of the device is an 8MP camera, allowing you to take the occasional shot with your tablet.
Performance Review
What a wonderful screen
First things first: this is the best color performance I've ever seen on a tablet—be it iOS, Windows, or Android. Too bad its contrast performance is mediocre, bringing the overall screen performance down a peg.
The other noteworthy mention? The Note 10.1 is especially great with creative apps, like Adobe's Photoshop Touch, thanks to the fluid S-Pen and beautiful screen.
Battery life is above average no matter how bright you crank the screen, and the internal hardware can handle every job thrown at it (within reason). You may or may not love Android, but all these points put together make for a very respectable tablet.
Comparable Products
Before you buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition), take a look at these other tablets.
A huge step in the right direction
By an enormous margin, this is the best tablet that Samsung has shipped to date. Not only is the form factor much like the other leading tablets on the market, but it does so much more with it that it's tough to believe at first. I'm still not sold on TouchWiz (Samsung's skin of Android), but the fact is you'd be hard-pressed to find a tablet with as much power under the hood unless you start getting into the very expensive Windows 8.1 hybrids.
The Note 10.1 doesn't hit all the superlatives: It's more expensive than its peers and it doesn't offer Amazon Prime. Yet it still has the muscle, the accurate color performance, and the beautiful design to justify its price. The Samsung Note 10.1 is a great tablet, but be prepared to shell out for it—prices start at $549.
If you feel something with added durability is more your speed, the iPad Air starts at $50 less. However, finding a competitive Android tablet the same size is tough—there aren't many tablets designed with a stylus in mind without some form of cuneiform on them. You might try your luck with a Sony Xperia Z for comparable performance, but be prepared to make a small sacrifice in two departments: processing and aesthetics. Overall, thanks to handsome design and dependable guts, not to mention unique perks like the Note's great stylus, the 10.1 is a great way to go.

I certainly hope the American people were paying attention last week to the disgusting spectacle of hatred, racism, intolerance and dangerous ignorance on display in Cleveland.

Staunton River will take on Louisa County on Saturday, August 13 for a home benefit game.
One year ago this month, President Obama inked an historic nuclear deal with Iran. It hardly seems like a year has passed since the Iran Nuclear Agreement came into being over the opposition of me and many others. However, perhaps that is because very little has changed when it comes to Iran's bad behavior.

Fiji's 2009 French championship winning wing Samueli Naulu was killed in a car crash on Saturday, local police and his club confirmed.
According to the police the 31-year-old, who was playing for fifth division side Bergerac, lost control of his car at around 0500GMT and hit a tree some 20km south of Bergerac.
Naulu, who played for Fiji's Under-21 side, was switched to the wing from flanker on arriving at Perpignan in 2005 and was an impressive performer in their title winning season.
However, he left for Limoges a year later and after just a season there moved onto Bergerac.

how do I bind a
std::ostream to either
std::cout or to an
std::ofstream object, depending on a certain program condition? Although this invalid for many reasons, I would like to achieve something that is semantically equivalent to the following:
std::ostream out = condition ? &std::cout : std::ofstream(filename);
I've seen some examples that are not exception-safe, such as one from http://www2.roguewave.com/support/docs/sourcepro/edition9/html/stdlibug/34-2.html:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
std::ostream* fp; //1
if (argc > 1)
fp = new std::ofstream(argv[1]); //2
fp = &std::cout //3
*fp << "Hello world!" << std::endl; //4
if (fp!=&std::cout)
delete fp;
Does anyone know a better, exception-safe solution?

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Market research figures compiled by Agilent Technologies reveal that in 2009, $407 million in direct financing was targeted to the development of oligonucleotide therapeutics in the U.S. This figure represents a combination of publically announced venture capital, private placement, IPO, secondary financing, and up-front collaboration payments.
The total deal value for therapeutic oligos in 2009—including up-front payments and potential milestone royalties—approached $2.8 billion, about the same as in 2006 and less than half the total for 2008. This total covers the full spectrum of oligo-based drugs: miRNAs, siRNAs, aptamers, decoys, antisense, immunostimulatory oligos, and other related drug classes.
Continuing an upward trend begun in 2003, the number of oligo therapeutic programs has increased each year, growing to 231 in 2009, representing a more than 8% increase from 2008.
As the number of oligo therapeutics in development continues to increase, so too does their complexity, the scale of oligo manufacturing to support late-stage development and commercialization programs, and the range of chemistries, modifications, delivery strategies, and purification and analytical methods. This diversity will be evident in the scope of presentations at IBC's upcoming "TIDES" conference.
At the meeting, Agilent will unveil a novel technology for large-scale RNA deprotection. The technology combines chemical and engineering solutions that overcome the problems caused by the exothermic nature of conventional deprotections.
Heat-induced degradation of RNA during deprotection has, to date, hindered the ability to scale RNA production above 200 grams. Agilent has coupled on-column cleavage of RNA from the solid support with removal of the deprotecting groups in a semi-continuous, scalable process. The cleavage step involves pumping reagents through the synthesis bed and into a holding vessel. For deprotection, the contents of this vessel are continuously combined with deprotection reagents in a temperature-controlled mixed stream.
Paul Metz, director of operations at Agilent, describes this technology as another step in the company's goal of transforming discrete steps in the manufacturing process into more continuous, closed process steps that facilitate automation and large-scale production.
Metz reports that beginning in late 2009 and continuing into this year, Agilent has seen a growing number of late-stage programs for oligo APIs. These include scale up and supply of Phase III trial materials through to full process validation and commercial launch. The company's new large-scale, multipurpose GMP facility in Boulder, Colorado, was designed to accommodate kilogram-scale oligo production. The plant has capacity in the low hundreds of kilograms per year and is on-stream and fully qualified. Agilent anticipates several projects moving forward into large-scale production in the 2011–2013 timeframe.
Exemplifying some of the challenging aspects of producing larger quantities of atypical oligonucleotides is the experience of Noxxon Pharma, which has taken its Spiegelmer® oligos into clinical development. NOX-E36 is completing a Phase I trial in inflammation and will enter a Phase II study in 2010. NOX-A12, designed to stimulate autologous stem cell recruitment, is also finishing up a Phase I trial and will begin a proof-of-concept Phase II study this year.
In December, the company announced the identification of a Spiegelmer with picomolar affinity and high selectivity for a target being pursued in collaboration with Eli Lilly for the treatment of migraine headache.
Spiegelmers are mirror-image, L-configured oligos composed of the L-isomer of ribonucleic acid. They bind to a biological target in a manner similar to antibody-antigen recognition, explains Stefan Vonhoff, Ph.D., vp of chemistry, manufacturing and control at Noxxon. Because they are not degraded by naturally occurring nucleases, Spiegelmers offer an attractive in vivo stability profile. They are unmodified L-RNA oligonucleotides that are synthesized using standard production processes established for natural D-configured oligos.
Initially, "the development of a scalable and cost-efficient manufacturing process for the L-RNA monomers" was a challenge, says Dr. Vonhoff. Today, the monomers are synthesized at multikilogram scale and the key raw material, L-ribose, has turned into a chemical commodity produced at ton scale for the manufacturing of antiviral drugs such as clevudine, which is used to treat hepatitis B.
Now, notes Dr. Vonhoff, Noxxon's main process-development focus is on GMP manufacturing of Spiegelmers, in which efficient purification strategies are key to producing the drug substance at a consistently high quality. Noxxon has initiated a program with a CMO partner "to improve loading efficiency while maintaining the quality of the product," says Dr. Vonhoff. The main impurities produced during the manufacture of Spiegelmers are "failure sequences," he adds. "Due to their unnatural L-configuration, those N(+)-mers and N(-)-mers" are unlikely to exert off-target effects.
As therapeutic oligos move through preclinical testing into human studies and on to commercialization there is an increasing need for higher throughput analytical methods and strategies for assessing the composition and purity of larger amounts of compound isolated from biological samples such as blood and tissue. Analytical processes focus on identifying potentially active metabolites, quantifying and identifying impurities, and characterizing the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug as part of required ADME studies.

HOUMA The Terrebonne NAACP will honor Black History Month this weekend with a music-filled event aimed at children, organizers say.
The free event is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Dumas Auditorium, 301 W. Tunnel Blvd., Houma. Though its designed for kids, all are encouraged to attend, said Diane Collins, the organizations youth coordinator.
Black History Month is observed in February, but this years Mardi Gras pushed the organizations event to March, Collins said. The evening will feature skits, dancing, a gospel quartet and special guest, G.R. Washington of Beautiful Zion Baptist Church in Houma.
Arlanda Williams, chairwoman of the Terrebonne Parish Council, and Joe Thompson, head of Mechanicville Weed and Seed, will also speak, she said.

MINNEAPOLIS - Brad Radke had a season-high nine strikeouts in eight shutout innings to give the Minnesota Twins a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 2-0 victory Thursday night.
Radke (10-7) had the Rangers off balance all night, striking out the side in the fourth and retiring eight straight during one stretch. He allowed five hits and walked one in Minnesota's seventh shutout.
Joe Nathan threw a perfect ninth for his 37th save, completing the combined five-hitter as the Twins extended their lead in the AL Central to a season-high nine games.
Kenny Rogers (15-7) allowed just one run in six-plus innings, but Texas tied a season high with its fourth straight loss and fell 51/2 games behind Oakland in the West.
The Twins took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Lew Ford led off with a single, Cristian Guzman walked and both moved up on Michael Cuddyer's sacrifice.
Rookie Terry Tiffee followed with an RBI groundout, giving him three RBIs in his first two big league games.
Frank Francisco's wild pitch in the eighth scored Guzman to make it 2-0.
Rogers allowed four hits, struck out three and tied a career high with seven walks. Rogers, who went 13-8 with Minnesota last season, made his first trip back to the Metrodome and received a warm ovation when he left in the seventh.
The Rangers haven't won in the Metrodome since July 13, 2002. Part of the reason may be bad luck. Hank Blalock hit a foul ball off a speaker in the eighth that bounced back into play and was caught by Guzman for an out.
The Rangers had a great chance in the fifth when Kevin Mench and Gary Matthews Jr. led off with consecutive infield singles to put runners on the corners. But Radke struck out Gerald Laird, got Dave Dellucci to line out and Michael Young to fly out.

COUDERSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Police in north central Pennsylvania say they've solved the case of the missing bull semen.
Police in Sweden Township, near Coudersport, say the package containing liquid nitrogen and 1,770 units of the bull semen were reported missing from a residence where it was to be delivered on April 2.
Police now tell the Bradford Era newspaper that the items were never stolen. Rather, a United Parcel Service drive left the package at the home then went back and retrieved it after realizing it shouldn't have been delivered without someone signing for the package.
Township police Chief Bryan Phelps says the package was located in a UPS warehouse and has since been redelivered to the residence. The chief says the package is valuable for agricultural purposes.
The township is about 140 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
"The chief says the package is valuable for agricultural purposes."
Sounds like there is money in milking the bull ! :)
Glad to hear this mess was cleaned up. But what exactly is the relevance of a missing Bull semen report outta North Central P.A.?
This sounds like a story Bob Hagan would sic Skolnick on.

text: Captive with Clues: Family-Friendly Escape Rooms in NJ Submitted by Alison Reiser on Tue, 06/21/2016 - 12:43pm Sometimes 15 minutes alone in the car with kids can seem like an hour, especially when they're in the back seat fighting or asking "are we there yet?" So why would a parent choose to lock themselves in a tiny room with their children? Well, to figure out how to escape, of course. Escape rooms are the latest entertainment craze for those brave enough, clever enough, and not too claustrophobic to take on the challenge. Up to 10 participants get "locked" in a thematic room with a compelling story line such as finding your way off an island, out of a mysterious location, or escaping before falling victim to a terrible curse. The group has up to an hour to find and solve clues hidden literally anywhere in the room and free themselves. Clues can be as simple as a color or a number; they can be in code; they can be subtly hidden in a picture or painting, on a piece of paper, in a decorative item in the room. A Game Master monitors all the action on video screen and is available to offer help upon request. Read on for our our list of family-friendly escape rooms in NJ! Read more.

New York Legislature Delivers Good News to Unhappy Couples, Domestic Workers, and Midwives
The state legislature had a busy day.
Thursday was a historic day for New York on two fronts. The state became the first to grant workplace rights to domestic employees, and, um, the last to allow for no-fault divorce. The divorce bill gained official approval Thursday night, meaning couples are now, finally, allowed to split up solely by mutual consent. Albany also approved a bill covering domestic workers by the law against sexual harassment or abuse, and providing them temporary disability benefits, unemployment insurance, and overtime. And lastly, on this busy day for the legislature, a bill was passed that will allow midwives to practice independently of obstetricians, a milestone expected to help spur the home-birth movement.

Over 50 weekdays, she'll spotlight a different missing persons case.
She hopes that some prime-time attention will loosen fresh clues in some cases that are as much as 20 or 30 years old.
Grace said that any case that gets solved would be like a blessing from heaven.
The two-month series is part of a prime-time transition for HLN.
