Bamberg, SC -- The line of talented linemen coming out of Bamberg-Ehrhardt just gets more impressive each year.
With the likes of Tampa Bay's Da'Quan Bowers, South Carolina's A.J. Cann and now Martin Aiken and David Deleon moving on to division one ball, the list continues to grow, but what's left?
To hear it from the Red Raiders, filling the shoes of Aiken and Deleon won't be easy, but it's going to get done.
It's a small team with big goals, and these guys approach it the right way. When one star steps out, the next in line isn't trying to fill those shoes. He's ready to make his own mark and carry this team to an even higher level.
Head Coach Kevin Crosby said, "Those guys that play behind them now are ready to step in and fill their shoes. It may take one or two to fill them, but those guys that are there to fill that spot, they're ready to step up."
Senior linemen Larry Cann, A.J. Cann's cousin, added, "It's a challenge, but it's also kind of fun because you can try to make your name even better than what their name is. You can get even more experience in because I was working with them, and they taught me a lot."
It's going to be a new challenge for the Red Raiders this year, moving from Class A up to Class AA.
That gives Augustans more of a chance to check them out too. They'll make trips to Silver Bluff, Barnwell and Blackville-Hilda in 2012.

Thank you Gavin. x
I like that one Gavin. We have that come to a head in our family recently when my son lost his dad (my ex) in November and then his dad's only sister in July right after his surgery. There is one surviving sibling now. We have had to deal with some issues with Uncle Bruce because of that....he finally agreed to some counseling.
But yes siblings can be the forgotten ones.

Findings from an NIAID study, appearing online ahead of print in the May 19, 2011, issue of Immunity, provide new insights into how the immune system clears mycobacterial infections and how the behavior of immune cells differs in lab cultures versus living tissues.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB), an airborne disease that leads to the formation in the lungs of immune-cell masses called granulomas. NIAID investigators led by Ronald Germain, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the Laboratory of Systems Biology, and Alan Sher, Ph.D., chief of the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, used a type of high-resolution imaging called 2-photon intravital microscopy to study TB infection in a mouse model. Intravital microscopy enables researchers to visualize inside the tissues and organs of a living animal how the immune system responds to bacteria and other microbes in real time.
The NIAID investigators used 2-photon intravital microscopy to examine T-cell interactions with other cells in TB granulomas formed in the liver of mice. They found that the majority of T cells migrated rapidly within the granuloma cell mass, but only a small percentage of them stopped and bound to cells bearing antigen, a molecule that triggers an immune response. Previous studies have demonstrated that arrested T-cell movement occurs as a consequence of T-cell activation.
Given the rarity of arrested T cells in the granuloma, the team hypothesized that very few of these cells were actually participating in the antimicrobial response. This finding was unexpected because previous studies performed in the test tube with cells isolated from a living organism showed very robust T-cell responses to mycobacterial antigen.
Further work showed that a very low number of T cells in the granulomas secreted IFN-gamma, a cell-signaling molecule that helps other immune cells kill mycobacteria and is indicative of T cell activation. These results were in stark contrast to experiments conducted by the NIAID team in which large amounts of synthetic TB antigen was administered to the infected animals. Results from these experiments showed that almost all the T cells in the granulomas made the signaling molecule, thereby producing a strong antimicrobial response.
These findings indicate that only a small percentage of immune cells capable of clearing a mycobacterial infection are active at any one moment during the course of the infection. Although T cells that bind to antigen-presenting cells within TB granulomas make the IFN-gamma needed to fight the microbe, the response is muted. But, based on the team's observations of T-cell behavior in response to synthetic antigen given to the infected animals, it appears that there is a potential for T cells to clear TB infections much more aggressively if more antigen is present to activate the T cells. The difference in results appears to relate to the ability of mycobacteria to limit how much antigen is visible to the T cells in the granuloma. The observations also demonstrate how distinctly cells behave in an artificial lab setting versus a real infected site.
The team's results indicate that strategies aimed at increasing the level of antigen presented in a granuloma may be a promising new direction in therapeutics against TB. Boosting the amount of antigen could improve the bacteria-killing ability of the T cells that take up residence in the granuloma during infection.

What started out frightful ended up pretty delightful as families across the tri-state ventured out for some winter wonderland fun.
Road crews said the second batch of snow was better than expected. The latest snowfall also seemed to only require a brush to remove instead of scraping ice from the windshield.
"It's pretty soft and heavy, so it's not sticking or icy, which is nice," said Oakley resident Rob Jones. "Hopefully it makes the roads not too bad."
As the day went on, road conditions improved. At Ault Park, families were excited to see some accumulation.
"Snow hasn't been in abundance over the last few years," said sledder Jennifer Varatta. "So it's the first great snowfall of the year and we wanted to get our little guy out sledding."

Hello all!
I've been running ps3 media server for a while now, previously under a Windows server. I've migrated that machine to a Linux server now, mainly to run mail services and VMs at home. I've been able to set-up ps3 media server correctly to run as a service under ubuntu 10.04, but noticed one difference with the windows version.
I've got a few anime series, and some more I've started to follow, that use built-in fonts ( ssa/ass fonts I believe by googling it? ) show up differently under Linux and Windows. In windows, all is as it should be, whereas under Linux, the fonts are only white, and no amount of tinkering lets me show them as they show in a media player or under PMS in Windows.
I'm a good linux server admin, but when it comes to desktop, I'm a little lost, so I was wondering if I might be missing some packages, that affect the display of the fonts? Or is it a java thing? Ubuntu 10.04 runs the iced tead jvm, but I also installed oracle java7 and used that to try, with no discernable differences. I'm hoping someone might know what the difference is, and how to fix/change it so it's the same in Linux, as my current (ugly) workaround, is run a windows 7 vm that runs psm through a network share pointing to the linux server's main ip
Thanks in advance!

Share your experiences with the Running Event - AthHalf below Back to event details page.
Course is quite hilly, but it is very beautiful. Had plenty of water stops along the way (every 2 miles). Would have been nice for a few more portapotties at each water stop, but nice race overall.
Beautiful but not easy course. The weather was perfect. The finish was great!
I enjoyed the course this year. Much better than last. Several suggestions from a runners perspective .. There were so many people this year! Maybe start in waves by estimated run times next year. I also didn't like that I had to wait an hour to see the posted run times.
The water stations rocked! The community support for this event is amazing! See y'all next year!
Fantastic course. You do feel the hills over the course from about mile 4-5 on, as opposed to last year where the hills were more steep but stacked up in the last three miles. Great volunteers, great cheering, great organization. Really pretty scenery, challenging, and fun. Really cool to run through the stadium.
Beautiful course! Agree that will need to start in waves as this race becomes even more popular (which it will!). Course support and sideline support was OUTSTANDING! See you next year!
Great course--much better than last year. This is a keeper! Thanks!
Great and challenging course and fun atmosphere. Well-organized except for the way-too-small runner refuel area after the finish line. Otherwise, a must-run if you are in the area.
Good course - running through the zoo road was a little tight and strange and the hill there was hard - - all else went well - - music on the course, plenty of water, even got an orange wedge somewhere - - really dramatic finish with lots of folks cheering on the Sanford Bridge.
Moe space needed at the end for exhausted, finished runners. Great race overall!
Great event! Was a bit disapointed in the shirts and the "bands".....support along the sourse was great!
It was a wonderful and forgiving course for North Georgia. Many stretches of flat or downhill. Hills are a part of Georgia. Cramped finish refuel and reunite area was the only hassle. Perfectly organized water stops. Great neighborhood support and volunteers.
Overall good race, I like the course saw some great neighborhoods in Athens. It was hilly and at times a little challenging. There was a shortage of restrooms along the route. The medal was a little cheesy, however pretty cool to run in through Sanford stadium.
Much improved after last year! The course truly captured all the unique beauty that Athens has to offer all while remaining challenging, but not too terribly grueling! Keep up the great work!
Mallory Louise Davis
Really nice course. The hills were pretty intense at the end and the finish line was chaos. Didn't really notice the bands.

I have been using PS3 media server for a VERY long time.
A few questions tho.
Is Internet access necessary?
Or can I simply use my pc+ps3?
Also...some of my HD movies freeze (720 and 1080) and im on a wireless G network.
Might that be the issue?
Thanks for the forum and the media server as, again, I use it all of the time and think its a great product.

Morlock Ambrosius, son of Merlin and Nimue from the Arthurian legends, has a crooked shoulder, a resistance to fire and a dark psyche that probably would result in a 21st-century prescription for Welbutrin.
He returns in "Guile of Dragons" (Pyr, $17.95, 278 pages) -- Book 1 of the "Tournament of Shadows," which appears to be author James Enge's backstory for the antihero Morlock, encountered by readers in three previous books. This is all good news, for Enge is a more than capable writer, and Morlock is one of the more intriguing antiheroes out there right now, given his struggles to survive in a bleak pre-industrial world.
In "Guile of Dragons," Morlock is a young soldier, of sorts, who gets involved when dragons invade the territory he must protect. At the same time, Morlock must deal with revelations regarding Merlin, his arrogant father who was imprisoned by another wizard before Morlock was born, as well as his surrogate father, leader of the dwarves who raised him.
But don't think that means readers must plow through long passages of Freudian patriarchy issues. The action is constant and the writing crisp; the extra depth added to the narrative by those paternal issues only strengthens the book. So if you haven't yet read any of Enge's books, this is the place to start -- and you'll have a lot of good reading ahead of you.
"Forge of Darkness" by Steven Erikson (Tor, $27.99, 662 pages). There's a lot of reading ahead if you've never read any of Erikson's 10-volume "Malazan Book of the Fallen," plus a three-volume prequel that begins with "Forge of Darkness. But I'm not too sure about calling it "good" reading.
That's not to say Erikson isn't a good writer; he is. His command of the voices of the various characters and the narrator is superb, and his ability to create characters with depth and texture is also way above average. The problems for me are the unrelentingly bleak and violent world Erikson creates and and the narrative he presents.
"Forge of Darkness" is set some time before the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" (of which I've read two or three installments, without ever getting through them all). I thought "Forge of Darkness" might be a way for me to re-engage with Erikson's highly acclaimed series. Unfortunately, "Forge of Darkness" pushed me to the brink of actually not finishing a book -- something I do maybe once a decade. Why? It was just too painful to read, in great part because of Erikson's ability to transform words into living beings (even if not quite human) -- beings that matter to the reader. So when those beings get raped, brutalized, tortured, wounded and killed in extremely unpleasant and meticulously described ways, it simply wears you down after awhile.
Add to that an incredibly complex plot and many characters and different points of view, and you have a work that not only details an unpleasant world launching into an unpleasant civil war, but that also requires constant references to the list of characters helpfully included at the start of the book. (It doesn't make things easier that one major character is named Risp and another Rint, or that you can go through hundreds of pages before returning to one narrator.)
Presumably, the various threads will unite in one grand tapestry by the end of Book 3, but it's likely that tapestry will depict nothing but treachery, torture, agony and death. And you know, I can find all that just by reading the morning paper.
So even though Erikson is clearly a good writer, and even though the reputation of the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" suggests that the Kharkanas Trilogy (as this "The Forge of Darkness series is called) will be, at worst, an above-average fantasy series, it's just too bloody for me.

Lakeland Couple Wins Trip to the Super Bowl Through the Visa Sweepstakes
The $60,000-plus Visa prize package lets citrus grower Rand Reese invite 9 others.
Published: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 12:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 12:28 a.m.
LAKELAND | While many of us gather around big screens and party platters Sunday afternoon for the biggest game of the year, one Lakeland couple — with nine of their family and friends — will be cheering from the Superdome.
In addition to their three children, daughter's husband and son's girlfriend, they invited cousins of Rand with their spouses who were fun to travel with in the past, Mary Rand said.
Because of an error, the article incorrectly referred to Rand Reese as Randy Reese. The name has been corrected in the online version of the article.
Citrus grower Rand Reese got the call last January on the way to work informing him that he won the Visa sweepstakes, but couldn't really believe it was true until his bank confirmed it.
"I started listening to the message and had to pull off the road to listen. It was very surprising," he said.
The contest, one of many that Visa sponsors throughout the year, randomly chooses a winner from a list of purchases made with Visa cards all over the country. Participants don't have to do anything; they simply make purchases with their Visa card and are automatically entered.
"It's pretty exciting," said son Adam Reese, a student at the University of Alabama. "You've gone your whole life watching people go to the Super Bowl, watching the Super Bowl on TV and throwing a party for it without thinking you're actually going to go. Then you find out your dad just won this all-expenses-paid trip with a hotel, limo rides and tickets to go to the Super Bowl, a once-in-a-lifetime chance. It's pretty freaking awesome."
The $60,000-plus package includes the 11 tickets to the game, airfare, hotel accommodations in the French Quarter, a tour of the press center, dinner with an unspecified NFL player Friday night and a $100 gift card for each of the 11 attendees. In addition, a limo will give the group a ride to and from the airport.
Rand Reese's winning purchase came at a U-Haul store in Mulberry on New Year's Day 2012.
Rand and Mary Reese were helping their recently married daughter and her husband move their furniture to their new Tallahassee home from a Lakeland storage facility.
The only place nearby with the right size truck to move their furniture was in Mulberry, so Rand Reese drove down New Year's Day morning to rent it — with his Visa card.
"They got a double whammy on that, not only getting their furniture and wedding stuff moved up to Tallahassee but a Super Bowl trip out of it as well," Mary Reese said.
They didn't get the call from Visa until late January or early February last year, and the trip wasn't completely confirmed until about Thanksgiving after paperwork was completed, she said.
The Reeses had some difficulty choosing their travel partners for the trip, but ultimately went with immediate family and their favorite traveling cousins.
In addition to their three children, daughter's husband and son's girlfriend, they invited cousins of Rand with their spouses who were fun to travel with in the past, Mary Rand said.
This makes for an especially fortunate month for Adam, their son, who went to the NCAA National Championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame in Miami with his girlfriend, Katie Logan, Jan. 7, courtesy of a Christmas gift from her mother.
And today is the couple's one-year anniversary, making this month a hard one to live up to, Adam said.
Plus, the Super Bowl is on a Mardi Gras weekend this year, and Adam turned 21 in November.
"I am so excited, you literally have no idea," he said.
Mary also has family in Louisiana, has been to Mardi Gras several times, and is bringing beads and outfits to pass out to the rest of the group.
While the Reeses are neither Ravens nor 49ers fans, they've chosen to root for Baltimore in the big game because Ray Lewis, a Ravens linebacker, went to high school in Lakeland, and the team seems like underdogs, Mary Reese said.
Rand, who is from the Washington, D.C., area originally, is a Redskins fan, and also follows the Bucs. But he jumped on the Ravens bandwagon as well.
"Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl. Two events converged together to create the perfect storm," Mary said.

If Amanda Bynes can stay out of trouble for six months, her bong-throwing case will be tossed out, a Manhattan judge ruled Friday.
Officially, it's considered an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, which means the troubled actress doesn't have to admit guilt, according to the Associated Press. She also has to attend counseling twice a week for six months.
The actress wasn't in court. Her lawyer Gerald Shargel filed an affidavit saying she understood the agreement.
Last spring Bynes was charged with reckless endangerment and marijuana possession after building managers told police she was smoking pot in the lobby of her Manhattan apartment. When officers entered her 36th-floor apartment, they said they saw her chuck a bong out the window.
Well, that makes sense. It's not like you can flush one of those things down the toilet.
Afterward, Shargel told reporters, "She's making progress and we're very pleased," but that she has a "long road" ahead of her, E! News reported.
The 27-year-old Bynes recently completed a six-month rehab stint at an inpatient facility in Malibu, after being hospitalized on a 5150 hold for starting a small fire in the driveway of a home in her parents' Southern California neighborhood. Bynes is back with her family and reportedly is pursuing a career in fashion design.

1. Joy!: 01:45
I just got back from Chapters, the main bookstore chain here in Toronto. I browsed through nine books and bought four. I'll go into more detail later, but I just wanted to share with you my joy in being able to give one of the books to someone who perfectly fits it. Sambhavi Chandrashekar doesn't need to read Love is the Killer App by Tim Sanders. She already lives it. It is my hope, however, that the book will give her even more words to describe her dreams, goals, and passions.
Thanks to Maoi Arroyo of Hybridigm Consulting for insisting that I read the book!
(Hey, I hadn't realized that Tim Sanders is the "director of Yahoo's in-house think tank". Coolness!)
2. Raided the bookstore: 02:32
Good to great and the social sectors: Why business thinking is not the answer
Jim Collins
It's a slim monograph and fairly expensive for its weight (or lack thereof - not that I buy books based on weight! <laugh>) ;) , but the main points are neatly summarized in four pages at the end, and its insights are backed by good stories.
A whole new mind: why right-brainers will rule the future
Daniel H. Pink
Title is a bit fluffy, but the book contains surprisingly practical advice aimed at helping people develop their senses of design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning.
Small giants: companies that choose to be great instead of big
Bo Burlingham
Bought it because I felt a strong urge to recommend it to a California-based entrepreneur who's been trying to think of how to help the Philippines get the entrepreneurial spirit when IPOs and other tech-startup exit strategies are almost non-existent in the local market.
Love is the Killer App
Tim Sanders
A friend of mine insisted that I read this book some time ago, and I find myself now infected with the urge to pass it on to others. See earlier blog entry. =)
I skimmed a number of other books, too.
- The Not-for-Profit CEO : How to Attain and Retain the Corner Office: Skim the survey answers and check out the detailed 6-month plan for any non-profit CEO settling into a new job. That part was way cool.
- random insights on life
- a few books on networking, mostly collections of people talking about networking
I know, I know, I should just get all my books off Amazon instead of buying them at Chapters, but I haven't gotten a Canada-based credit card yet and I can't pay for it out of my budget when I use my Philippine-based Visa. And then of course there's the way I like flipping through books... I suppose I could browse at Chapters and buy off Amazon, but sometimes there's no real price difference, and economy shipping takes a while.
Maybe I could use it as a delayed gift for myself, though. Something to look forward to. =) Besides, I still need hardcover copies of some of my absolute favorites...

Gifford Medical Center's mammography and nuclear medicine departments have both been awarded three-year reaccreditations by the American College of Radiology.
The American College of Radiology calls their recognition the "gold seal of accreditation" and notes it represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety.
The accreditation is awarded only to facilities meeting American College of Radiology practice guidelines and technical standards after a peer-review evaluation by board certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Assessed are image quality from actual patient images taken (without sharing patient names), personnel qualifications, facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs.
Quality control procedures include daily, weekly and monthly checks of machines to determine they are functioning optimally.
Gifford submitted its records for review for reaccreditation for both mammography and nuclear medicine in January and heard back on March 26.
The recognition, says Nuclear Medicine Manager Tera Benson, tells patients "we're dedicated to providing the best quality image."
In addition, it ensures that Gifford is following not just what it deems the best standards for care, but national standards for care.
"We are fortunate to receive a lot of positive feedback from patients regarding the courtesy of our staff or the speed with which we complete exams like mammograms. This accreditation is a recognition of all the work that occurs behind the scenes to ensure patients not only have a great experience, but the highest quality imaging as well," said Director of Ancillary Services Pam Caron, who praised her team's hard work.
According to the American College of Radiology's Web site, Gifford is one of seven Vermont facilities with an accredited nuclear medicine program. The closest other programs are larger hospitals in Burlington and Rutland, as well as Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire. A greater number of mammography programs are accredited.

Effective dental assistants possess a core set of knowledge and skills. For individuals who are new to dental assisting and are trained on-the-job it is critical to have a curriculum they can follow to become competent. For more experienced dental assistants, it is important to have a curriculum to review concepts and learn new techniques that have been recently developed. The purpose of DAC&P is to offer a curriculum that can be taken by on-the-job trainees who need to develop basic dental assisting competencies or more experienced dental assistants who want to renew their skill set. DAC&P Part I includes: Infection Control, Tooth Dental Anatomy, Universal Numbering System, Moisture Control, Tofflemire Matrix Band and Wedge, and Dental Dam. Participation in DACP requires a local dental program to make a commitment to:

Lock your desktop, take photos and execute custom scripts upon intrusion attempts. Bluetooth-enabled.
RedHand locks your computer. Manually via global hot key, menu bar or dock. Automatically after a period of inactivity (much like a screensaver), depending on the presence of a Bluetooth device, or whenever your computer goes to sleep.
When RedHand locks your computer, it makes sure that you are informed about intrusion attempts. Whenever someone tries to gain access to your computer, RedHand keeps track of it.
You don't have to think about locking your computer. You don't even have to remember your password. Just tell RedHand to look for a specific Bluetooth device. If you leave the room your computer will be locked. As soon as you are back you'll find it unlocked. Unlocking via password still worksâ¦just in case your mobile ran out of juice.
With its ability to execute scripts (AppleScript or anything you could launch via command line) RedHand lets you perform any action you want: send an email or play an audio file when an invalid password was entered. Perform maintenance tasks when the computer was locked. Its up to you. The scripts can access the photo taken.
Required OS: not specified

great app but in version 1.5 there is a bug withe the screen saver, when in screen saver and then auto start try to unlock and boom everything stops....
also a suggestion y not as a dim option have the screen saver?
also in faq there is no option off posting something and at support there is nothing for this app..
@zacharyotte : I finally found the bug. Another user experiencing the same behaviour helped me to analyse the problem. Version 1.3 contains the fix.
Hi! Interesting observation. I've had not a single bug report regarding this issue. As a regular Skype user I'm really surprised. Which version (RedHand and Skype) do you use?
I do no recommend. As soon as I downloaded it I had problems with my isight. It would not work in skype. Removed redhand and it worked again. Good idea though.

People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), usually experience peak pain in the morning, which decreases throughout the day. In this scenario, an evening once-a-day nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) schedule is recommended. If pain is worse during early afternoon or at night, however, a morning or an evening onceaday NSAID schedule may be recommended. The exact dose depends on the severity of the patient's pain and their individual physiology.3 Most newly developed antiRA agents are now available as oncedaily dosage forms; the absorption kinetics of conventional dosage forms are inadequate in the morning, which is when the need of patient is greatest, and drug levels of once-a-day formulations that have nighttime dosing indication tend to fall off towards the end of the 24h dosing interval, resulting in reduced protection against the pain when the need is more.
Diclofenac sodium (DS) is a potent NSAID frequently used to treat RA; however, oral administration of DS as a conventional formulation generally fails to achieve the desired clinical effect because it elicits patient incompliance — many fail to take the dosage early enough in the morning to coordinate with the rhythm of RA. Therefore, the development of oral controlledrelease formulations of this drug is highly desirable.The Pulsincap system, developed and registered by R.P. Scherer International Corp. (MI, USA), is a special dosage form comprising a waterinsoluble capsule body enclosing a drug reservoir. The body is closed at the open end with a swellable hydrogel plug, which consists of insoluble, but permeable and swellable polymers (e.g., polymethacrylates), erodible compressed polymers (e.g., hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene oxide), congealed melted polymers (e.g., saturated polyglycolated glycerides, glyceryl monooleate) and/or enzymatically controlled erodible polymers (e.g., pectin). When this capsule comes in to contact with the dissolution fluid, it swells and, after a lag time, the plug pushes itself outside the capsule and rapidly releases the drug. The length of the plug and its position of insertion into the capsule controls the lag time.4,5
In our study, a modified Pulsincap device containing DS was developed to target drug release in the colon. This is a sitespecific and timedependent formulation; by administering the formulation at 10.00 pm, symptoms that are experienced early in the morning are avoided. This therapeutic effect is prolonged by continuously releasing the medication over an extended period of time after administering a single dose. The study objective was to explore the time-and pHdependent controlled drug delivery of DS using the pulsincap system.
Material and methods
DS was obtained as gift sample from Welable Parma Ltd (India). pHsensitive methacrylic acid copolymers (Acrycoat L 100 and S 100) were supplied as gifts by Corel Pharma Ltd (India). Hydroxypropylmethyl celluloseK4M (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPCH) were obtained as a gift from Colorcon (India). Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), guar gum (GG) and sodium alginate (NaAlg) were purchased from S.D. Fine Chem. Ltd (India). All other chemicals used were of analytical grade.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Beehouse Asian Glazed Teapot
Made in Japan, this beautiful Beehouse 12 ounce Asian Glazed Teapot has a durable and attractive flip-top lid. The removable stainless steel infuser makes for easy brewing. Take advantage of this functional teapot to brew your favorite Mighty Leaf loose tea.
Available in white. Dishwasher safe.
1. Do not use teapot on the stove.
2. Using a tea kettle, heat the water for tea. Pre-heat the teapot by filling it with hot water and then drain.
3. Place loose tea into the removable infuser. The leaves will have ample space to unfurl freely.
4. Fill with hot water fired to the temperature and steeping time as required by the particular tea type.
5. Savor the whole leaf tea by pouring it into a teacup.
Stoneware and ceramic teapots are ideal teapots for everyday use. For example, enjoy your morning cup of tea with whole loose leaf prepared in a teapot using a removable stainless steel infuser or, if no infusion basket is included, a T-Sac paper filter bag.
Stoneware and ceramic teapots come in a variety of colors and designs and appeal to many tea drinkers. They can be used to prepare any style of tea including black, oolong, green, white or herbal infusions.
After thousands of years, the traditional teapot still brews up the perfect cup. Here are some secrets for preparing the highest quality tea using a teapot.
Teapots for tea types
We recommend that you dedicate one teapot for only one type of tea: one for black, green and herbals. Pots can become seasoned by black teas and if you prepare other styles of tea, like green, in the same pot, it may affect the flavor.
Teapot serving size
Other factors to consider when thinking about tea preparation is how many cups you will be serving. It is best to have both a small and large teapot - a small one for single cup and a larger one for multiple cup servings.
The Mighty Leaf Tea Pouch
Mighty Leaf Tea Pouches are designed to accommodate 12 ounces of water or a small teapot that usually matches the same quantity.
Teapots are made out of a variety of materials including cast-iron, clay, glass, porcelain, silver and earthenware. Whether it is tea culture in China, Japan or other countries, each respective tradition involves preparing and drinking tea in distinctive way, including the kind of teapot used.

Men's Wearhouse founder and longtime commercial spokesman George Zimmer is pondering options that could include trying to stage a comeback after he quit the clothing company's board on Monday, two people familiar with the matter said.
Zimmer, who was abruptly forced out last week as executive chairman, is talking to his advisers, including legal counsel Cooley LLP, about his options, these sources said. A decision is not imminent, the sources said.
Industry bankers and lawyers said these options could involve teaming up with private equity firms to launch a buyout bid or with shareholder activists.
Men's Wearhouse and a spokesman for Zimmer declined to comment.
Zimmer founded the clothing chain in 1973. He is widely recognized by U.S. television audiences for a Men's Wearhouse advertisement, where he says in a raspy, baritone: "You're gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it."
Zimmer is the company's seventh-largest holder. But his family's combined equity stake of about 4.7 percent - Zimmer holds about 3.5 percent - is not large enough on its own to pressure the company to allow him to return.
Founders of other companies who have faced similar situations have had mixed success in taking back the reins of their firms.
"Typically a founder will not leave the company that easily, as he thinks it is his baby. He doesn't treat it like a company," said Larry Cagney, a partner at law firm Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.
Last year, for example, Best Buy Co Inc's Richard Schulze tried to buy the electronics retailer with the help of private equity firms. He failed in that bid, but managed to find his way back on the board 10 months later. He now serves as Best Buy's chairman emeritus.
Schulze, however, had owned 20 percent in Best Buy.

It has been about nine years since this list was last published in LCGC (1). During the interim, my toolbox has gained some new items, and a few others have seen little or no use. Given the modern obsession with list-making, readers may enjoy this update and perhaps learn about some tools they might like to add or replace in their own toolkits.
Every profession has its specialized tools. Those used in chromatography often are just as specialized as those used in computer repair or automotive work. Many of the tools and accessories that gas chromatographers keep on hand for installing, maintaining, and repairing their chromatographs are also found in the toolkits of plumbers, carpenters, and homeowners. Wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and metal-tubing cutters are some easily recognized examples. Other items such as dental instruments or paper correction fluid are familiar, but their use in the laboratory environment might not be immediately obvious. Still others, like a column flowmeter, septum nut wrench, or a specialized fused-silica column cutter, aren't found outside the laboratory at all.
Here, then, is the list of today's tools and accessories along with some information about their use and significance. One or more specialty manufacturers offer many of these chromatography-specific items in their catalogs or on-line offerings. I scanned through several catalogs and web sites and gleaned some new items that I have included here.Butane Lighter
A butane lighter is a convenient source of hydrocarbon gas for measuring an approximate unretained peak time. Butane is effectively unretained at temperatures above 75 °C on liquid-phase coated columns with phase ratios above 50. Columns at low temperatures or with lower phase ratios (thick stationary films) may retain butane and separate the traces of ethane and propane present in the butane fuel. Use the earliest observable peak for the best estimate of unretained peak time. Natural gas is mostly methane; if your laboratory has a supply of natural gas (mine doesn't) it makes a good substitute for a lighter and is less retained than butane. Just be sure to turn off the gas after you've filled a syringe with it. A lecture bottle of methane with a suitable pressure regulator is another excellent source of the unretained substance. Concentrations in the low percent range work well.
Hydrocarbons won't work for unretained peak time measurements with electron-capture detection (ECD). Instead, try loading the syringe with a puff from a pressurized can of dust remover such as Dust-Off, which contains 100% 1,1-difluoroethane.
Hydrogen or helium — whichever is not the same as the carrier gas — make good unretained peak markers for porous polymer or molecular sieve columns that retain hydrocarbons strongly, plus these two gases should be readily available in most gas chromatography (GC) laboratories. Flame ionization detection (FID) will not respond to hydrogen or helium, but other detection methods such as thermal conductivity detection (TCD), pulsed discharge detection (PDD), or helium ionization detection (HID), the latter with hydrogen as the unretained substance, should respond well.
Cable, Three-Wire
Recorder cable finally has gone the way of chart recorders: You might find some lying around but they haven't been used in years. I have one or two in the lab just in case the need arises. I keep some spare USB cables as well.
Correction Fluid
Use white correction fluid to mark the measured position on a column that corresponds to the correct column penetration depth into an inlet or detector. Measure the depth after inserting the column into the nut and ferrule and making a fresh cut on the column end. Some regulated laboratories' policies don't permit the use of correction fluid for data integrity reasons. A septum into which a slot has been cut may be slid onto the column below the nut and ferrule to act as a positioning aid. Remove the septum before heating the column oven. A positioning gauge (see "Ruler" below) is a good alternative. I also have used a black permanent marker for this purpose; just be careful not to get it on your fingers or clothing.

BERKELEY -- By signing Salesian High five-star prospect Jabari Bird, Cal basketball coach Mike Montgomery hopes other elite players will follow.
"If Jabari has the kind of career we think he's capable of having, it will speak volumes," Montgomery said. "He will get an incredible amount of love from the local community, the fact that he's homegrown and his dad went here.
"His legacy will be his alone, but to have a guy stay and be that caliber gives you national recognition. Others will look at that and say, 'I want to play there.' "
The Golden Bears announced their three-man recruiting class Thursday, with 6-foot-3 shooting guard Jordan Mathews of Santa Monica High and 6-4 combo guard Sam Singer of Ransom Everglades in Miami also headed to Berkeley next fall.
But the headliner is Bird, a 6-6 wing, who as a consensus top-25 national recruit is the most acclaimed player Montgomery has landed in his five seasons at Cal. Bird also is the first prominent local player to sign with Montgomery at Berkeley. He averaged 18.7 points last season for Salesian.
His father, Carl Bird, played two seasons at Cal and was the team's co-MVP after averaging 15.2 points in 1975-76.
"We have watched Jabari grow as a player for a long time," Montgomery said. "He is a winner."
Bird led Salesian to the Division IV state championship in March, scoring 24 points in a win over Price-Los Angeles.
Montgomery said Bird will get stronger and more explosive. "He has a knack for scoring, scores in traffic, scores in a lot of different ways," Montgomery said. "He's very unselfish. He doesn't have to have the ball. At the end of the game is when he makes plays."
Mathews, the son of former USF coach and current UCLA assistant Phil Mathews, is rated the 24th-best shooting guard and 85th overall prospect in the nation by Rivals.com.
"Jordan is a great shooter," Montgomery said. "He comes from a great background where he was raised around basketball. Basketball has been his life, and that is going to really help him. He knows how the game is played."
Singer is considered one of the top prospects in Florida, rated the No. 45 point guard in the nation by ESPN.com. He averaged 34.1 points per game and 7.7 assists per contest as a junior.
"He can shoot the ball and is a very good passer. Sam is a basketball junkie who really understands the game," Montgomery said.
"It is not often you go coast-to-coast to get a guy, but he came out to our team camp and we were very impressed with him. We are excited about Sam."

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - In Belmont County, there are natural gas wells nicknamed "Big Foot" and "Blue Thunder," along with a "monster" lurking deep within the area known as Egypt Valley.
Given those monikers, it comes as no surprise that Belmont County, along with Monroe and Harrison, top the state of Ohio in terms of natural gas production, according to new data from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The ODNR report lists production data for 245 Ohio wells.
The report, which covers production from the third quarter of 2013, indicates that energy companies extracted more than twice as much oil and gas from Ohio during those three months than in all of 2012.
It is the first report that now will be released each quarter by the state of Ohio due to a new law requiring drilling companies to file production updates ever three months instead of once a year.
The report states that the 245 wells produced a total of 1.3 million barrels of oil and 33.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas from July through September.
By comparison, in all of 2012, 85 wells produced 635,876 barrels of oil and 12.8 billion cubic feet of gas.
During the 91 days in the reporting period, each well produced, on average, 5,439 barrels of oil; 137 million cubic feet of natural gas; and operated an average of 55 days, according to the ODNR.
"Because there is so much excitement about - and so much new technology being used in - the shale production, it is good to let people know what is going on with these wells," said Mike Chadsey, spokesman for the Ohio Oil and Gas Association.
Results from some local wells top the state.
A single Gulfport Energy Utica Shale well in Somerset Township, Belmont County, yielded about 1.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas in just 89 days, while another Gulfport well in Harrison County produced 41,617 barrels of oil during a 70-day period from July through September, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
These wells are in addition to the Antero Resources Monroe County Yontz well that Tim Carr, Marshall Miller, Professor of Energy at West Virginia University, estimated could be yielding as much as $300,000 worth of revenue per day earlier this year.
"We are encouraged, but we are still very early in this," said Ohio Oil and Gas Association Executive Vice President Tom Stewart. "It is great to see that the counties in southeastern Ohio have such productive wells."
In 2011, industry leaders estimated Ohio's portion of the Utica Shale may have contained as many as 5.6 billion barrels of oil. However, Stewart said drilling results show the Utica will likely be more of a "gas play, with some associated oil."
Although oil is generally more valuable than gas, this does not seem to be slowing down drillers. Giving their wells the names "Big Foot" and "Blue Thunder," Rice Energy is now drilling southeast of Barkcamp State Park along Ohio 149. Just over a year ago, Global Hunter Securities - an investment bank focused on energy - named Gulfport's "Shugert" well in Egypt Valley a "monster" while it was pumping 28.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day during its testing phase. While the Shugert remains productive for Gulfport, the company's "Stutzman" well near Barnesville yielded about 1.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas over an 89-day time frame. To the north in Harrison County, Gulfport's "Boy Scout" well pumped 41,617 barrels of oil during 70 days of production.
Gulfport CEO Jim Palm also recently announced the "Irons" well along Ohio 148 in southern Belmont County yielded about 30 million cubic feet of dry methane natural gas daily during its testing phase.
"The strong economics of this well appear to be very attractive in today's commodity price environments and we look forward to drilling a number of wells in the surrounding area during 2014," Palm said.
Many eastern Ohio residents who originally signed leases with Wishgard LLC or Tri-Star Energy have seen those contracts turned over to Gulfport, while Gulfport has also signed many county landowners to their own leases.
During 2014, Gulfport plans to spend about $634 million to drill as many as 95 new Utica Shale wells.
According to Antero, the Yontz well reached peak daily production rates of 38.9 million cubic feet of natural gas, 3,177 barrels of natural gas liquids (ethane, propane, butane, isobutane and pentane) and 52 barrels of condensate. Carr considers the condensate just as he considers crude oil.
According to Magnum Hunter, subsidiary Triad Hunter drilled three wells on the Ormet pad across from the shuttered plant in Monroe County.
Approximate daily natural gas production rates for each of the three wells are 2.68 million cubic feet per day, 5.1 million cubic feet per day and 3.88 million cubic feet per day.
"Magnum Hunter's focus continues to be in accelerating our leasehold ownership position and adding new production in both the Marcellus and Utica resource plays," Magnum CEO and Gary Evans said. "We continue to be impressed with the quality of these reservoirs, which seem to get better with time."

Your 2013 VSL Cubs!
The Cubs have moved their second Dominican Summer League (DSL) team to Venezuela (Ciudad Alianza), and so 2013 will see the debut of the VSL Cubs (and no more DSL Cubs #2).
While the Cubs have signed many Venezuelan players over the years (with Carlos Zambrano, Angel Guzman, Ronny Cedeno, and Geremi Gonzalez being the most-notable ones), they have operated a team in the Venezuelan Summer League (VSL) only once previous, and that was a "co-op" team shared with the Minnesota Twins in 2007.
The VSL has been in operation since 1997 and had at one time as many as a dozen teams. However, in recent years the number of MLB clubs with affiliates in the VSL has dwindled to just four (Mariners, Rays, Tigers, and Phillies in 2012), with the Cubs bucking the contraction trend by actually putting a new team in the league this season.
It is perhaps a little bit strange that the Cubs have chosen to move one of their DSL teams to Venezuela just as their new state-of-the-art multi-million dollar Dominican Academy goes on-line, but they probably recognize the potential motherload of baseball talent that's just waiting to be discovered in Central & South America (including Brazil), and having a presence in the VSL could help the Cubs get a foothold there.
While the Dominican Summer League (DSL) does not begin play until June 1st, VSL Opening Day is next Monday (May 13th), and the VSL regular season runs through August 5th. A best two-out-of-three playoff between the 1st and 2nd place teams follows the conclusion of the regular season.
The VSL roster limit is 35, but at present the Cubs have assigned only 24 players to the VSL Cubs, with 22 of the players from Venezuela, one from Curacao, and one from the Dominican Republic. (Essentially all of the Venezuelan players who had been assigned to DSL Cubs #1 or DSL Cubs #2 were moved to the VSL Cubs). The two Mexican players assigned to the Dominican Academy (RHP Javier Castro and LHP David Villegas) could be assigned to the VSL Cubs, too, as well as any Cuban or other non-Dominican international players (including no more than two players from Puerto Rico) the Cubs may sign in coming months.
There are also 11 Venezuelan players presently assigned to the Cubs Extended Spring Training team (RHP Daniel Adrian, OF Jeffrey Baez, C Erick Castillo, 2B Bryant Flete, RHP Erick Leal, 3B Mark Malave, LHP Angel Mejias, SS Carlos Penalver, C Wilfredo Petit, LHP Carlos Rodriguez, and LHP Luis Villegas) who could be moved down to the VSL Cubs, although most of the Venezuelans at EXST are likely ticketed for the AZL Cubs or Boise.

AZ Phil -- any word on Josh Conway's injury last Saturday? What got hurt, how badly, etc.?
From AZ's report from 5/4 (7
From AZ's report from 5/4 (7 articles down from this one):
Meanwhile, Conway looked uncomfortable from his very first pitch, continually pawing at his landing spot and scraping mud out of his spikes after every single pitch. A member of the grounds crew was eventually located after the end of the 1st inning (today is Saturday, so there was just a "skeleton crew" on duty), and while he raked up the mud clods, nothing was done to dry up the mud itself or stamp-down the mound. On his second pitch in the bottom of the 2nd inning, Conway's spikes got caught in the mud and he tripped and threw a pitch awkwardly, about six feet over the head of the Brew Crew batter. A loud pop could be heard when he let go of the pitch, and his arm recoiled as if he had been shot. He was obviously in tremendous pain, and he ran up the 1st base line into foul territory before coming to a stop and going to one knee.
Only after Conway left the game did two other members of the Maryvale grounds crew arrive and completely manicure the mound to make it safe for the pitchers.
Conway was immediately driven back to Fitch Park in the Cubs utility van, and presumably he will be examined next week.

Twitter tells me more boo's than cheers for LaStella.
What was the reaction in Chapman's first game? I was there about a week later and it was all cheers.
Not that the situations are a one-to-one, but...damn, priorities 'Murica.
bryant is good at doing home rons.
Word is Patton is refusing to report to Des Moines.
lastella's not lost the ability to play 2nd...that's for sure.
I'd wait til after our last election if I was you.
i tried...all i got back was comments about beyonce and the walking dead. maybe this should be done in the off-season.
I'm not making fun of anyone else's losing records until we're in about year 10 of the dynasty and/or Bryant hits his 700th home run.
The Twins lost their 47th game on June 17. That's all I got tonight. Go Cubs.
Tweet our proposal and see what happens.
this makes the most sense. the team could use a replacement in the pen when chapman leaves and bryant could fetch a nice pen arm...maybe...there's a bit of concern about bryant's poor hitting in clutch situations.
bryant has served his purpose...time to move on and let the kids play. you're next russell.
I think it will be damn funny if they send Stella down after Coghlan gets back.
Trade Bryant?
I think Jones held up part of your sentence at third while the rest ran through the sign.
has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
I agree -- I think if you are a soft-tosser, you need a track record before you are taken seriously. If Kyle posts sub-3.00 ERA consistently and wins 15+ games a few times (and pitches more innings), he may have a shot at the award in a few years. Hopefully, he gets in the top 5 this year -- would be deserved and a nice boost for his confidence.

WASHINGTON (February 2, 2013)--The White House released a photo Saturday that shows President Barack Obama firing a gun.
The release came two days before the president heads to Minnesota to discuss gun control.
In a recent interview with The New Republic magazine, Mr. Obama said "yes" when asked if he has ever fired a gun.
He said "we do skeet shooting all the time," except for his daughters, at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
The White House photo released Saturday is dated Aug. 4, 2012, and shows Mr. Obama shooting at clay targets on the range at Camp David.
The rifle is cocked in Mr. Obama's left shoulder, his left index finger is on the trigger and smoke is coming from the barrel.
Mr. Obama is pushing a package of gun-control measures in response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Hagan takes second swipe at 'redundant' pesticide regs
Published: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 5:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 5:16 p.m.
U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan is making a second attempt to eliminate what she calls a "redundant and burdensome" pesticide regulation that hurts farmers and municipalities.
In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Hagan announced she and Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) are co-sponsoring a bill — called the Sensible Environmental Protection Act of 2013 — to eliminate a requirement that 365,000 pesticide users get a Clean Water Act permit before spraying in or near lakes and streams.
Farmers and other chemical users already have to meet stringent requirements for pesticide application under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, Hagan said, and the Clean Water Act permit only adds a duplicative, unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
"They're having to fill out paperwork and expend money instead of focusing on their farming operations," she said, adding the "overlapping regulations" have also forced some municipalities to cut down on spraying for mosquitoes "because they don't have the manpower (to deal with the extra red tape), and they fear lawsuits."
Crapo and Hagan introduced a similar measure in September 2012, but the bill died in the Senate Environment and Public Works committee. Many of the former bill's bipartisan co-sponsors have signed on again, Hagan said, including Sen. Claire McCaskill (D- Missouri) and Sen. David Vitter (R-Louisiana).
"Let me make this clear: this is not about whether pesticides should be regulated," Hagan told reporters. "They definitely should be."
Under FIFRA, said N.C. Farm Bureau President Larry Wooton, farmers already have to follow label directions for applying chemicals near water.
"Most of our farmers have taken courses and have licenses to use these restricted-use pesticides," Wooten said. "We have felt for some time that any additional regulatory requirements, such as trying to seek this Clean Water Act permit, would be redundant."
Following an appellate court ruling, the U.S. EPA under the Clean Water Act began requiring a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit in 2011 for mosquito control, aquatic weeds or pesticide spraying that will "unavoidably" run off into water adjacent to farms.
As she tours the state, Hagan said she often hears from businesses and farmers complaining about overregulation. Removing the NPDES permit requirement "is just common sense," she said.

Cutting Corners
Commissioners serving themselves, not public
January 2, 2013
When politicians say they have a plan to help people, the people's baloney radar should go off immediately. Most of the time that plan is going to help the politician a whole lot more than the people....
For $36,000 a year I would quit my job and be a full time commissioner for 16 hours a day (gotta sleep sometime!) I have a good deal of common sense, the good of Parkersburg at heart, oh and just for you Harry I pay my taxes.

I believe Mr. Smith is 100% right. In addition, I wonder where Mr. and Mrs. Gainer pay there "income" taxes. If they claim residency in Florida, then they pay zero income taxes as it is a no income tax state. If that is the case, how can Mr. Gainer even legally servce? I think arron is correct also, nearly 40,000 a year is pretty good money for only working 2 days per week. If they cut the meetings in half, cut the salary in half.

Someone still mad over the election? Since you stated you have plenty of money(Ought to have after the Dupont deal) and you didn't need the job,what's the big deal? Make some promises you now can't deliver? Sounds personal now.If they want to cut meetings:fine,but then cut salaries also.While I'm not a great fan of Couchy,it does seem he tries on some worthwhile projects.

With all due respect Jim, the only reason that you want the commissioners in session instead of actually working is so that you can publish detailed articles twice a week about such exciting topics as "new parking lot inspection". Seriously, if you look at the agendas over the last two years (or more), most of them are nothing more than approving the prior minutes, signing purchase orders, invoices, or whatever. Steve and Wayne are right that this is ridiculous. The only reason Blair wants to meet twice a week is so that he can get you to put his name in the paper.

A man who was left in a coma following a fight at a South Lake Tahoe sports bar in May has died.
Derek "Zippy" Penaranda, 30, died Wednesday at a long-term care facility in Contra Costa County, said South Lake Tahoe police Lt. David Stevenson in a Thursday statement.
Penaranda was allegedly asked to leave Mo's Place because of unruly conduct while celebrating his 30th birthday May 20, according to a statement from the city the following day.
During the confrontation, he allegedly punched the owner of the bar, Manish "Mo" Patel, and knocked him unconscious. Penaranda was then knocked unconscious while being detained by the bar's security staff, according to the statement.
Police arrived at the sports bar about 12:30 a.m. and found Penaranda lying unresponsive without a pulse and not breathing. Firefighters performed CPR on Penaranda and were able to re-establish a heartbeat.
But Penaranda suffered "extensive damage to his cerebral cortex," from the incident, Wayne Penaranda, Derek Penaranda's father, told the Tribune in May.
Penaranda's exact cause of death will be determined during an autopsy in the next few days, Stevenson said.
Whether criminal charges will result from the incident is unknown.
"There is no information being released at this time concerning the possibility of criminal charges being filed, what those charges would be, or when they would be filed," Stevenson said in the statement.

Tampa amphitheater drops Ask-Gary name
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 11:21 a.m.
Political insider, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport board member and chiropractor Dr. Gary Kompothecras's 1-800-Ask-Gary referral service is no longer the name sponsor of a Tampa amphitheater that had born the company's name.
The Ask-Gary name was dropped after a three-year deal expired at year-end, according to published reports and Kompothecras.
"The contract was up," Kompothecras said Tuesday. "I don't have any other comment."
Live Nation, which controls the venue at the Florida State Fairgrounds, is now searching for a new title sponsor.
For now, the outdoor music site is being referred to as the "Live Nation Amphitheatre at Florida State Fairgrounds."
The amphitheater opened in 2004 with Ford as its key sponsor until the Ask-Gary deal was struck in 2010.
Ask-Gary, a physician and legal referral hotline, had paid about $375,000 annually for the naming rights, according to reports.
Kompothecras' Physicians Group LLC operates about 40 clinics for automobile crash victims statewide.

The City of Neosho and the Neosho Transportation Development District are set to meet at 1:30 p.m. today in the Division III courtroom of the Newton County Courthouse at which time Associate Circuit Court Judge Kevin Selby is expected to rule on the validity of the TDD.
The hearing is in response to an August petition filed by the City of Neosho, alleging that the TDD is invalid.
While last minute negotiations were held earlier in the week, first with a special session council meeting on Tuesday, and again on Thursday in a closed session TDD meeting, the two parties were unable to reach an agreement by Thursday night, according to TDD board chairman Ray Stipp.
While both sides have expressed interest in pursuing a Community Improvement District, the validity of the TDD, as well as the city's recent rescission of a cooperative agreement with the TDD have been points of contention.
The TDD board argues that the council's Nov. 20 vote to rescind the cooperative agreement puts the TDD's cost-share agreement with the Missouri Department of Transportation in jeopardy, while the city maintains that based on the statute subsection the TDD was formed under combined with who acts as the voters within the TDD, the entity is invalid, therefore, making the cooperative agreement null and void.
The TDD was formed in February 2011, and stretches from Waldo Hatler Drive to Industrial Drive, and from Kodiak Road to just east of Laramie Lane.
The group has been collecting a half-cent sales tax within its borders since Jan. 1.
If the TDD is ruled invalid, both Stipp and Neosho Mayor Richard Davidson have said they are unsure as to what will become of the tax monies collected.

Kodak Is Back, But Not the Kodak You Remember
By Rachel Feintzeig and Tom Gara
There's a new Kodak in town, and it doesn't look much like the one you might remember. Gone are the company's units making cameras, film, and other consumer photography products that made it famous. In their place is a smaller, leaner company, focused on commercial printing and imaging technology.
Back in August, a judge approved Kodak's plan to exit from the bankruptcy protection it entered last year, and today the company officially emerged in its new form.
"I'm very, very happy today," Kodak's CEO Antonio M. Perez told the WSJ. Instead of the struggling, debt-laden company that entered Chapter 11, the new company, he said, "comes with a great capital structure and with a great balance sheet"
While under bankruptcy protection, the company sold off a number of its best-known units, including a high-profile deal to hand over its camera film business to its U.K. retirees, whose pension plan was owed about $2.8 billion by the company.
But does the new Kodak, a supplier of printing systems to business customers, really live up to the image evoked by its historic name? Mr. Perez says it does, working at the same intersection of materials science, digital imaging and precision technologies that it had been for decades prior to the bankruptcy.
"This is the soul and the heart of the old company," he says. "We are the same company we were before. We are using the same strengths that made this company the same analog leading company. The only difference is now it's digital."
It might be digital, but it doesn't have the connection to regular consumers it once did: This is a business-to-business company, particularly after handing over the film business to its U.K. pension fund. "I had to do what I had to do to liberate the company from the liabilities," says Mr. Perez of that deal. "For us, it was an excellent alternative, incredibly creative, unusual."

The problem is that these are just not translating fast enough into increased use of certified sustainable palm oil.
The problem is that these are just not translating fast enough into increased use of certified sustainable palm oil.
In spite of the welcome increase in companies with a top score since the 2009 Scorecard, in 2011 too many companies are still not doing nearly enough to ensure they meet their sustainable palm oil sourcing targets.
Need for early action to deliver on sustainable palm oil commitmentsJoining the RSPO should be seen as the very first and most basic step to be taken—but even that seems to be beyond some companies. Going further, making clear public commitments to use only certified sustainable palm oil by 2015 or preferably earlier is also important, but even more essential is to take early action to deliver those commitments.
No excuses for companies not to accelerate sourcing of sustainable palm oilThe availability of a variety of options for using sustainable palm oil, coupled with the fact that there is surplus certified sustainable palm oil available, means that there are simply no excuses for companies not to accelerate their sourcing of it.
Great progress in some marketsWhat the Scorecard also reveals is that in some European markets (such as the UK), companies have made great progress in engaging in sustainable palm oil. While not all UK companies scored well, they are almost all showing progress.
16 of the 25 UK companies scored have close to 100% of their palm oil certified. But they must not rest on this early progress. They need to push all the harder to start using traceable certified palm oil rather than continuing to rely on Book and Claim.
Mass Balance and Book and Claim should be used as stepping stones toward the use of Segregated palm oil. Only then will we be able to say that unacceptable palm oil has been truly eliminated from the products we buy.
Not enough transparencyAnother general conclusion that WWF draws from this assessment is that there is still not enough openness and transparency in the palm oil supply chain.
We found it very hard to get clear information about what exactly many companies are doing about sustainable palm oil, what their policies and commitments are and how quickly they are meeting their targets.
As a result, we relied on the information that companies disclosed, which we do not have the resources to verify. This is not the best way for the industry as a whole to communicate to its customers or to its suppliers.
Need to abide more by RSPO requirementsNot enough RSPO members are following the RSPO requirements for reporting progress, nor are they making public commitments to use only certified sustainable palm oil.
The industry as a whole is still reluctant to be open about how much palm oil individual companies use. Without basic information like this in the public domain, it will remain difficult to see how quickly companies are progressing.
Meanwhile, it will remain impossible for growers of sustainable palm oil to get a clear message from users that they should proceed with further certification.
There is still not enough openness and transparency in the palm oil supply chain.
