SAN JOSE -- The Earthquakes have asked Major League Soccer officials to review some controversial referee decisions from the FC Dallas game, interim coach Mark Watson said Monday.
The rulings could effect the lineups for San Jose's games Wednesday in Guatemala and Saturday in Los Angeles.
The Quakes want the league to take a closer look at the red cards issued Saturday by referee Baldomero Toledo to Victor Bernardez and Justin Morrow. As of now both players are suspended from playing this weekend against the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Quakes (9-10-7) also have lost midfielder Rafael Baca, who must sit out after receiving his sixth yellow card, which leads to an automatic suspension.
Watson said the team didn't use its two red card appeals but instead asked for clarification on both calls. The club also requested for a quick decision because the Earthquakes play a CONCACAF Champions League game Wednesday night against CD Heredia in Guatemala City. If the red cards are upheld Bernardez and Morrow probably would start against Heredia. Baca also is expected to play considering he is unavailable for the weekend.
"It's an interesting possibility," Watson said. "As we stated all along, we're gong to manage these three games as best as possible."
The Quakes blew a two-goal lead in tying FC Dallas 2-2 in a game with a handful of questionable calls. Dallas got the equalizer when awarded a penalty kick on a controversial play.
Watson wasn't happy with the officiating but stopped short of publicly criticizing the referees. On the penalty kick, he simply said, "The video shows it all on that one."
Earlier in the game star striker Chris Wondolowski was brought down in the box but Toledo let the teams continue play. "I thought the foul warranted a direct free kick in the box, which is a penalty," Watson said. "It doesn't help to dwell on it. You hope the refs get it right."

Hemarina raises €6.3m in Series B
12.07.2012 - The French marine biotechnology specialist Hemarina SA has raised €6.3m to bring its first organ transplant product to market.
The company, founded in March 2007, is centred on the research and development of marine oxygen carriers for therapeutic and industrial applications. It develops extracellular haemoglobin for four core business programmes: organ transplantation and tissue conservation; blood oxygen carriers; infections and wound healing; and bio-production. The Morlaix based company is predicting to bring its first medical application product by end of 2013 in the field of kidney transplantation.
"This new round of investment shows the trust of our new partners and board members", stated Franck Zal, CEO of Hemarina. The syndicate was led by Inserm Transfert Initiative and includes historical investors such as Finistère Angels, Armor Angels, XMP and Arkéa Capital Investissement; and also a new entrant which is a family office represented and mandated by M. Maurice Lesaffre.
Since last November, Hemarina receives research funding from the French National Research Agency (ANR) to push forward its lead candidate Hemo2Life solution for preserving kidney grafts. In a public private partnership, Hemarina will attempt to validate its oxygen carrier or the storage of kidney transplants in preservation solutions and machine perfusion systems. To do so, the French marine biotech specialist has teamed up with the INSERM U927 research unit "Ischemia-reperfusion in kidney transplantation" at the Poitiers University Hospital, and the Health, Life, and Agricultural Sciences Infrastructures (IBiSA) facility 'Surgery, Experimentation, Transplantation' in Surgères.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/hemarina-raises-eur63m-in-series-b.html

Hey guys,
I've been loving this program, but I am having one big problem. Whenever I play softsubs, the subs speed way past the audio & video. Though, while this happens, the A&V stay in sync, but the subs are popping up a new line every second.
The file in question here is in an MKV container encoded with h264 & Vorbis with embedded ASS subs. I've tried all the possible engines; I get data corrupted in both AVISYNTH ones, no audio or subs in TSMuxer - the only one that works is MEncoder, which experiences the subtitle problem. Also, I've tried WITH and WITHOUT the experimental build.

Beverly-Center PTO helped students honor their grandparents with an afternoon at the movies on Nov. 16. More than 150 grandparents shared the afternoon with their grandchildren. Grandparents were photographed with their grandchildren, then all students entered the gym for the movie, Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax".
The event was made possible through the efforts of several parents, students and community groups. Mr. Bidwell altered his morning schedule to allow the gym to become a theater for the afternoon. Mr. Hennes' sixth-grade students set up the screen and movie in the gym. Fort Frye Athletic Boosters donated use of their popcorn machine to help with snacks. Citizens Bank, Beverly-Center's partner in education, furnished the popcorn, popcorn bags and a popcorn machine. PTO parents volunteering their time to help prepare for the event included Carly Spindler, Missy Huck, Amanda Duskey, Amanda Kasun, Gretchen Slaughter, Mollie Zimmer, Marci Duskey, Marinda Tennant and Kim Brothers.
* * *
This nugget came to me via email from a friend several months ago. The author isn't identified, but I ran across it again and wondered if any of these conversations took place during grandparents' afternoon at Beverly-Center
She was in the bathroom putting on her makeup under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave the little one said. "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" I will probably never put on lipstick again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good bye.
My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him "62." My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"
A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

Auburn Bean & Grain talks about Standish plans during breakfast
Posted by Kevin Bunch
News Editor | email@example.com
LINCOLN TWP. — Auburn Bean & Grain and Helena Chemical Company hosted a breakfast Feb. 21 for representatives of agricultural communities and businesses at the ABG Standish office, where work continues to get their newest facility ready to go for this year's harvest.
Company representatives gave an overview of ABG's plans and its progress at the Standish site. Cliff Vennix, president of Auburn Bean & Grain, said they now have 2.5 million pounds of steel in storage, which will be used to continue construction of the site's loading facilities in a few weeks.
"Everything is built in the shop and sent here to be bolted together," Vennix said. "We're hoping to get started on the fourth of March."
Currently the office building off of US-23 is complete, and across some railroad tracks near Old M-10, a power station is standing where the grain elevators, conveyor, storage tanks, and cleaning equipment will be located. Nearby are two pits for corn and soybeans, Vennix said.
He said the company has a rail spur that trains with around 90 cars can pull onto. The trains will pull up on the track near Standish Milling and decouple from their cars, and ABG will push the empty cars to their elevator operation.
There, a Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC, computer system will analyze the cars — their capacity, car number, and other relevant information — and automatically clean and load grain product into them. Vennix anticipated the cars each having a capacity of about 3,350 bushels.
"It will be the fastest grain elevator system in Michigan," said Jim Byrum, president of the Michigan Agri-Business Association. "The PLC system is totally automated, and can be operated remotely. It can do about 30,000 bushels in an hour."
Vennix noted that the computer system will also keep track of how all its systems are running, and if something is malfunctioning or going wrong, it will shut everything down in sequence to prevent damage.
When the cars are filled, an ABG engine will take them back to the main track to be reconnected with their own engine. From there, the trains will return downstate.
"When the train hits Flint, it'll be all hands on deck," he said. "We want that train to be back to Flint in 24 hours."
Vennix said he has invested about $12 million into the project, and with nearly 30 acres of property on either side of Old M-10, there is room to expand the elevator operation in the future if farm production continues to improve as he expects it will.
"We haven't built one big enough yet," he said.
Auburn Bean & Grain was founded by Cliff Vennix and his wife Jan in 1970, and has operations in Auburn, Saginaw, Hemlock, and Oakley. Standish will be its northernmost grain loading operation, and Byrum said it would be the northernmost grain handling facility in the state.
Vennix decided to build at the Standish site because it is near a rail line and has enough track to utilize it without trains having to cross any roads.

I figure with United in 2 days, it will be the same as it has been, but based on BR's very attack minded, tactically sound set up vs Soutampton at Anfield, this might be the best formation going forward in the league, starting with WINLESS Sunderland..
--------Mignolet - Jones------------
I call it the 2-3-4-2, designed to get optimal penetration and possession in your own half, specifically in your own final 3rd, and create as litle chances out wide as possible, while making sure neither side scores a goal aside from a mistake or a set piece.
Figure when we get Cissokho back, we can also recall Robinson, and maybe promot Sama, so we can take off one keeper, and take off Lucas, to just go with 10 defenders and finish out the season 0-0 every week. This would ensure Sturridge stays fit, and Suarez doesn't get into any trouble..
I'm not being sarcastic either.

Modern Languages & Literature
The Passion:
In today's increasingly global society, a well-rounded education should include foreign language skills and cross cultural understanding. The international nature of business and politics, as well as the changing demographics within the US, have dramatically increased the demand for individuals who can transcend linguistic and cultural barriers. These individuals will hold increasingly pivotal roles in industry, government, and education.
The Program:
Gonzaga's Modern Language Department offers degree programs in French, German, Italian, and Spanish, as well as two-years of instruction in Arab, Chinese and Japanese. The Department helps students attain foreign language proficiency and prepares them for advanced studies. Faculty use modern methodologies and teaching aids, and instruction emphasizes conversation, literature, and culture. New state-of-the-art classrooms offer students opportunities to perfect their listening comprehension skills and further increase their awareness of foreign cultures through the use of videos, audio tapes, and interactive computer programs. A flexible placement policy allows incoming students with foreign language skills to begin their course work at the most suitable level.
Our faculty believe that through the encounter with a foreign culture, a student develops tolerance for difference, an understanding of other cultures and languages, and a greater understanding of oneself and one's own culture as seen from new perspectives.
The Potential:
Mastery of a foreign language noticeably enhances students' career prospects, especially when combined with study in other disciplines. Department graduates have used their language backgrounds in fields such as business, journalism, the travel industry, teaching, sociology, and political science. Because of a strong interest in social justice and a desire to be of service to others, several language graduates spend a year or two volunteering prior to attending graduate school or entering the job market. Through programs such as the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Americorps, and the Peace Corps, students find their secondary language skills indispensable. Additionally, many students have goals concerning working in law, government, and academia; thus, they attend a variety of graduate programs at diverse universities.

Oh, dear: it looks like vomiting Canadian pop star Justin Bieber had some "personal footage" stolen by unknown thieves. What kind of footage would that be, hmm?
Based on these tweets, it sounds like Bieber had both a computer and a camera stolen (apparently his tour manager was a victim too). Between the two items, there was "a lot of personal footage":
It's hard to think of a document of as much magnitude as the fabled Justin Bieber Sex Tape — the Pentagon Papers, maybe? — and it seems unlikely that Bieber would be stupid enough to tweet about it if it existed.
However! As proud sex-tape journalists we'd be shirking our duties if we didn't ask. Know anything about a Justin Bieber sex tape? Email me at email@example.com.

Franklin's Sylvester gets the call from L.A. Dodgers

Charting China's Economy
Originally posted on China Real Time.
China's economy has bounced back. A return to accelerating growth in the fourth quarter breaks seven straight quarters of declining growth and draws a line under concerns that the world's second largest economy is heading for a hard landing.
To engineer the rebound, China's government turned again to boosting credit and investment spending. But beneath the surface, there were also signs a rebalancing toward consumption may be underway.
China Real Time charts it out:
Growth in gross domestic product accelerated to 7.9% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, up from 7.4% in the third. The sequential growth rate showed signs of stabilization, with annualized quarter-on-quarter growth at 8.2%, down from 8.7% in the third quarter.
Investment bank economists continued to calculate their own quarter-on-quarter growth rate. Wang Tao, China economist at UBS, saw an even more positive picture, with growth accelerating to 8.6% in the fourth quarter from 8.0% in the third.
Real economy indicators like electricity consumption, one of the measures premier in waiting Li Keqiang said he uses to track growth, and steel production, also pointed to a strengthening economy.
For the year as a whole, GDP growth of 7.8% was down from 9.3% in 2011 and the slowest rate of growth since 1999. Ma Jiantang, head of the National Bureau of Statistics, said there would be no return to the era of super rapid growth, and China should aim for something between 7% and 8%.
One reason growth has slowed: a shrinking workforce. Mr. Ma said that China's working age population shrank by 3.5 million in 2012. Off a total of more than 900 million that might not seem particularly alarming. But it signals an important turning point from an expanding to a contracting pool of workers.
Key to the recovery – strong investment in the real estate and infrastructure sectors.
After almost three years of strict controls, China's real estate sector is showing signs of springing back to life. Sales had a strong quarter, with floor space sold rising 32% year-on-year in November. Sales for Vanke, China's biggest developer by revenue, were also up more than 100% in December.
Local government investment vehicles – the heroes of the 2009-10 stimulus, and the villain of subsequent concerns about bad debts and bridges to nowhere – were back on the stage. Investment in roads and railway picked up from lows earlier in the year.
Manufacturers were less optimistic, with overcapacity and rising debts denting investment growth in the sector. Lan Shen, one of the China economists at Standard Chartered, notes that manufacturing investment decelerated to 16% year-on-year in December, down from 20.4% in November.
But with more real estate and infrastructure construction underway, industrial output still rose to 10.3% year-on-year growth in December, up from 10.1% in November and a low of 8.9% in August.
Zhang Jianping, a researcher tied to the powerful National Development and Reform Commission, was optimistic about the scope for more capital spending. "This year's investment growth will be similar to 2012 as room for investment remain large due to the gap between western and eastern china, and between urban and rural areas," she said.

Welcome to our 90th Season - 2015-16
The Hastings Symphony's humble beginnings in 1925 featured two concerts. Ninety years later, HSO's scrapbook is full of Music, Memories and Magic. As true today as it was in 1925, the HSO is here for the people of south central Nebraska. It is a cornerstone of this community's performing arts. And it is an educational beacon illuminating the beauty and magnificence of orchestral music. Our ninetieth season will feature performers who grew up in Hastings and the HSO. I am thrilled to have Shannon Salyards-Burton and Andy DeBoer return for command performances, and it is an honor to have Dr. Alan Stanek, conductor of the HSO in the early 1970s, also return to the podium. Our season includes the Hastings College Choir (the "Choral Jewel of Nebraska") conducted by Dr. Fritz Mountford, children conducting the orchestra in December, and our Young Artist Competition. We will be playing music performed during past ten-year anniversaries and conclude the season with a world premiere of a commissioned work titled Nebraska Soundscapes. This piece, composed by Tyler White from UNL and accompanying photographs by Jorn Olsen, certainly brings magic to our 90th season.
Thanks to you, we still have music to play and magical memories to make. Like a skilled magician, the Hastings Symphony presents lots of surprises, provides family-friendly entertainment, and always defies expectations. Please help our traditions move forward by sharing HSO's Music, Memories and Magic with your family and friends. I look forward to seeing you as we celebrate!
Upcoming Performances
Please check back soon!
History of HSO
The first concert was presented on May 26, 1926 at the First Presbyterian Church in Hastings. Under Mr. Noyes' 11 years as director, the orchestra...

The aspiring "new soul" Chicago band, Otis, takes the stage at Alma's Only Bar for a free show this evening. Here, drummer and tour car-driver Collin O'Brien breaks down who they are and where they're headed:
We're a seven-piece mix of soul, funk, blues and jazz, but dabble in other genres as well, [playing] mostly original songs with some new takes on songs that we love. We've got a killer vocalist, Jessica Ott, a banging horn section of Tyler Gasek and Parris Flemming. Drew Smithers plays guitar and slide guitar; Taylor Streiff holds it down on keys and our bass player Parker Grogan has a great ear and style. All together we are Otis.
Our influences range from soul to rock and roll and everywhere in between: Sly Stone, Miles Davis, Allman Brothers, RH Factor, D'angelo [and] Soulive, to name a few.
Our live shows are tight, but we keep improvisation present in a lot of the tunes, so they're never exactly the same night to night. We write mostly original music, but you'll hear some covers thrown in the set. You can definitely expect a dynamic show; we'll hit funky energetic exciting highs and counter it with a warm, soulful tune. All of our song lyrics are written by our singer, Jessica Ott, about real life experiences that are relevant in any walk of life. We love what we do, and have so much fun traveling to new places to share our music.
Chicago is a breeding ground for awesome musicians, and it's a great place to have multiple projects going. While Otis is my all-time main focus, when we can't get together during the week I play in a couple other groups. Taylor and I have a side project called Low Spark, which is an expressive instrumental piano-driven jazz-rock group. Parker and I also have another group starting up called Mano, which is more psychedelic gypsy rock, involving electric violin, flute, guitar bass and drums. Other than that we will occasionally fill in for our friends' bands as alternates if someone can't make it, or just go jam around with other people in between Otis rehearsals.
We played a gig in Chicago once at this bar and one of the bartenders double-booked the night. Our bill had four funk-and-soul kind of groups on it, but the other bill ... was a "necro-furry dance party," which essentially was death metal bands with fans who liked to dress up in animal costumes (most were going for the road kill look). Instead of canning one of the events, the manager had both go on, with shortened set times. It was pretty hilarious looking out and seeing a bunch of animals dancing next to surprised fans.
We all have our own things that keep us going - whether it's playing music, listening or learning, the quest for musical knowledge and ability affects all of our lives. From morning to night and anywhere in between, music is our fuel. It is the thread that keeps weaving this quilted network of experiences together.
We're so freaking stoked to be out in Colorado. We have toured through the south the past couple years but it's going to be fun to see a lot of friends and family out there, and more fun to get the whole band up to the mountains. Sometimes you gotta get out of the city, and what better place to do so.

2014 Antietam Early Banjo Gathering (AEBG-VII)
At the National Museum of Civil War Medici ne's\n
Pry House Field Hospital Museum\n
On Antietam National Battlefield\n
In Partnership with\n
The Baltimore Museum of Industry
June 20-22\, 201 4\n
The National Mus eum of Civil War Medicine is proud to present the Seventh Antietam Early B anjo Gathering (AEBG-VII)\, the premier event for enthusiasts and scholars of the 19th-century banjo music and culture. The conference raises awaren ess of the early banjo's significance in the development of American popul ar culture and underscores music's importance in the lives of Civil War Am ericans. The event is a unique forum for both experts and novices to meet and share knowledge\, playing technique\, and research. Each year brings t ogether dozens of researchers\, collectors\, musicians\, and instrument bu ilders from across the nation to participate in workshops\, jam sessions\, and scholarly lectures.\n
This year the NMCWM is partnering with th e Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) to present programming at two locatio ns. On Friday\, June 20\, the BMI will host the first day of events in Bal timore\, Maryland to showcase its latest exhibit\, "Making Music: The Banj o in Baltimore and Beyond." On Saturday and Sunday\, June 21-22\, the even t will resume at its traditional location at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on Antietam National Battlefield.\n
FRIDAY AT THE BMI: Free and open to the public for the first 80 people to RSVP wi th BMI\n
The BMI's special exhibit\, "Making Music: The Ban jo in Baltimore and Beyond\," showcases the banjo as a Maryland tradition since at least the late 1740s and how Baltimore became the setting for the instrument's earliest mass production in the 1840s. Through the cultural convergences slavery\, blackface minstrelsy\, and industry\, this exhibit reveals the Chesapeake region's multicultural impact on the foundations of American popular culture. Thus\, the BMI is a perfect partner for this ye ar's Antietam Early Banjo Gathering.\n
Friday's events will include presentations by scholars in the banjo's musical and cultural heritage\, i ncluding the special exhibit's guest curators\, Greg Adams\, Bob Winans\, and Pete Ross. Attendees will receive a private tour of the exhibit from t he curators.\n
To RSVP for the BMI programming\, please contact Kell ey Edelmann at firstname.lastname@example.com< /a>. For more information on the Baltimore Museum of Industry and its spec ial exhibit please visit www.thebmi.org.\n
SATURDAY & SUNDAY AT ANTIETAM: Registration $70 ($60 for curren t NMCWM members)\n
On Friday evening\, AEBG attendees will return to the event's traditional location at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum o n the Antietam National Battlefield in Keedysville\, MD\, where formal pro gramming will resume on Saturday morning. The Antietam portion of the gath ering takes place in and around an 1840s threshing barn\, lending an appro priate setting and atmosphere that is both scholarly and casual.\n
S cheduled activities will feature diverse program sessions each day. Presen ters will talk or demonstrate on a wide range of subjects\, including inst rument construction\, playing techniques\, music\, history\, and other top ics closely associated with the early American banjo. The conference's sch edule allows ample time for "jam sessions" and mentoring with some of the nation's most experienced players.\n
Public concerts are held on Sat urday and Sunday afternoons. Saturday's concert is staged in the Pry Barn\ , while Sunday's concert takes place at the historic Dunker Church on Anti etam Battlefield. Registered AEBG participants are invited to perform in t hese concerts. While performing is purely voluntary\, attendees are encour aged to share and use the opportunity to play publicly with well-respected musicians in these special\, historic venues.\n
Registered attendee s are invited to camp overnight on the Pry House property (Note: registran ts must provide their own period or modern tent).\n
The cost of regi stration for the Seventh Antietam Early Banjo Gathering is $70 ($60 for cu rrent NMCWM members).

EDWARDS - No. 8 didn't get No. 8 Friday night.
The Vail Christian girls basketball team pulled the upset, knocking off No. 8-ranked Gilpin County, 28-26, at the Wheeler Athletic Center in Edwards. The visiting Eagles entered Friday night's game with a perfect 7-0 record.
And, by the by, that was nice payback for Vail Christian. Gilpin ended the Saints' season last year in the regional playoffs, one game short of the state tournament.
"That was a really good win," Saints coach Doug Bruce said. "The good thing about tonight was that we played good defense, but we also played good offense, I thought. We got good looks. They just didn't fall. We can work with that."
"It's really exciting to beat a team like that," Vail Christian senior Paris Baker said. "They are so aggressive. To match that strength and pressure is really nice."
The Saints trailed 22-21, going into the fourth quarter. A Kyra Webb layup gave the Vail Christian the lead for good with 6:46 left in the game. Baker, who led the Saints with eight, added to the lead with a hard bucket from the paint.
Gracen McGuckin pushed the Saints' advantage to 27-22 with 4:51 to go. McGuckin added a free throw for Vail Christian's final points, and then it was nail-biting time.
That was the only freebie the Saints got on the way home. The Saints were 0-for-7 from the stripe until McGuckin hit. Bruce said the team will be addressing that in practice next week.
But as has been the Saints' calling card all season, the defense carried it home. Also of note was the Saints' ability to break Gilpin County's press. That defense has previously been the bane of Vail Christian's existence. Friday night, guards McGuckin and Jessie Hartley handled it with aplomb.
The Saints (5-1) head to face Jim Elliot Christian today at 3:30 p.m.
Boys cruise
There was no drama in the nightcap. The Vail Christian boys basketball team ran Gilpin County out of the gym, 76-18.
That'll happen when you start the game with a 17-0 run. The Saints (5-2) led 24-7 after the first eight minutes and were clinging to a 46-9 lead by the time the Saints dance team did their routine at the half.
"We were very crisp," Saints coach Sheldon Kuhns said. "We came out and focused on execution. We pressured on defense. We moved the ball well on offense. In games like this, you can loose your way, and stop pushing yourself, stop trying to get better. We were very business-like."
The Saints did just about anything they wanted early. Gunnar Wilson scored the first six points. Kevin Boselli, Nigel Johnsen and Zach Linder all found the twine and Austin Ellsworth dropped a 3-ball on the way to a big lead.
Robby Bowles, not to be outdone, had a trey, and then the Saints started passing. Vail Christian had a series of transition scores, produced by some slick dimes. Johnsen, Ellsworth twice, and Boselli had lovely assists as Vail Christian started the second quarter with a 14-0 run.
Kuhns substituted liberally, and sophomore Luke Berger made the coach look smart with three 3s. (No word on whether Berger will supplant Bowles as the team's shooting guard.)
Parker Poage, Cooper Gould, Ethan Pence and Alex Davis all found the scorebook. Wilson led the Saints with 16, while Ellsworth and Bowles each had 13.
Vail Christian is at DeBeque today for a 2A Slope game.

PARKERSBURG - A local retired college professor said his final farewells last week to his sister and her husband as they were interred in Arlington National Cemetery after more than 20 years each with different branches of the U.S. armed services.
"They were both buried with full military honors and it was a privilege to have been there," said Bob Cordell of Vienna. "They were honored the way it should have been done with members of both the Navy and Marines honor guards, the band and horses those people do the honors right."
Cordell attended the March 25 burials of his sister Lt. Cmdr. Edwina Cordell Hammond, a 23-year veteran nurse of the U.S. Navy, and her husband Chief Warrant Officer George Hammond, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, in the national cemetery in Arlington, Va.

Bob Cordell, a retired professor at West Virginia University at Parkersburg and Vienna resident, holds a bottle of Oklahoma soil.
Hammond was awarded the Purple Heart with 4 Stars, Combat Action Ribbon with Palms, Presidential Unit Citation with 2 Stars, Navy Unit Commendation medal with Combat "V," and service medals for World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
During her career, Cordell Hammond served tours in Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Guam and in Naval hospitals from California to New York. She retired with a rank as lieutenant commander in 1976.
In retirement, they moved frequently, from Washington, D.C., to Florida, from his native Tennessee to Las Vegas. They lived in Nevada the longest they had anywhere. It was there George Hammond died of cancer in 2008. Cordell Hammond kept his ashes to be buried with her remains.
"It was what they both wanted; to be together forever and to be together in Arlington is the best place for them with their joint and individual love of this country," said Cordell, a retired professor of social science at West Virginia University at Parkersburg.
Cordell said the cold and wet weather in the Washington, D.C., area did little to deter more than two dozen family members from nine states Utah, Texas, Georgia, Nevada, Tennessee, West Virginia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Virginia who gathered to watch as a white horse-drawn carriage, a riderless horse, honor guard, band, bagpipes, a bugler and a three-volley salute paid tribute as a Navy chaplain conducted the service.
"The evening before the burials, we all got together and spent many hours remembering these two wonderful people that we all loved," Cordell said. "They gave so much of themselves to others and are missed by so many.
"Edwina and I were very close and never went more than a week without speaking; even though she's been gone since August, I still have a hole in my life that will never go away," he said.
After Cordell Hammond's death in August 2012, her niece Susan Akers of Amarillo, Texas, applied to have both her aunt and uncle buried with honors at the national cemetery. In February, Akers received the news that the couple would be buried in the hallowed ground.
"It is what they deserved because my sister, as a Navy nurse, took care of the Marines and sailors and she demanded the best care to her patients," Cordell said. "It is an honor to have her and George buried in such a manner."
Although they relocated their lives numerous times for work and pleasure, Cordell said neither of them had forgotten where they came from Cordell Hammond was raised in Oklahoma but identified Texas as home and Hammond was a proud Tennessee native.
"They never once forgot their roots and several years ago one of my students brought me back a bottle of Oklahoma soil that I want to have scattered over my casket when I am buried here so I can be with soil from both of my homes," Cordell said. "So, our sister Mary brought soil from Texas for Edwina and Tennessee for George and they were both buried in Virginian soil with some from home talk about returning to your roots!"
The Hammonds had no children and spent the majority of their lives serving their country as individuals and a couple through 40 years of marriage.
"Their marriage was based on mutual respect, common values and common interest; they were further bonded by a fierce sense of loyalty for family and friends plus a very strong sense of patriotism," Cordell said. "They were a tremendous couple and had a tremendous love story and for them to be buried together in Arlington is a perfect tribute."

There are various times in my life when I feel distinctly "uncool." As my son gets older I have noticed that these moments seem to come more and more frequently, though I'm sure that's just a total coincidence. I don't see very many movies, have never been to a music concert, and I regularly wear clothing that could be on "What Not to Wear." I don't know what "twerking" means, and I'm afraid to find out. An exciting Friday night at my house usually includes me getting really excited about something that I managed to cook to a somewhat edible level in the Crock-Pot while my son educates me on the finer points of current cultural events, many of which seem to center around zombies.
I don't know when zombies became popular, or cool. One moment my son was playing a computer game called "Plants vs. Zombies" where tiny vegetables flung their seeds at attacking zombies, and the next moment the zombies are everywhere.
I have seen zombie survival guides being sold in bookstores and commercials featuring them on TV. I've even seen a couple's engagement photo shoot which featured a zombie attack storyline. Engagement photos strike the same level of confusion in me as zombies do. Did these always exist? Were they always popular and I'm only now exposed to them through the joys of the Internet and social media? I suppose in a couple years I'll be researching what to bring to a zombie-themed baby shower.
In a twist of coolness probably meant to confuse the likes of people like myself, clowns are scary and zombies are popular, or "trending," as I think the kids are saying these days. I have tried to convince my child that if he is so fascinated by mostly dead creatures that are rotting and falling apart he is more than welcome to help me clean the refrigerator one of these days. I have some spinach in there that I could swear I saw lurching towards me the last time I opened the crisper drawer.
Instead of helping me clean the kitchen (the last time I asked my son if he wanted to help load the dishwasher he said, "I don't know, is it fun?" I need to reread some parenting books) my son sits and peppers me with questions about what I would do and where I would go in the event of a zombie invasion. Apparently this is a category where he believes I need frequent retraining as my answers are often wrong. "Mom, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go if zombies were attacking?" "Uh "¦ a boat in the middle of the ocean," I responded. I still think this is a pretty good answer. According to my 9-year-old source, zombies aren't particularly good at swimming.
When my son was little everything I said was right. I would tell about the wonders of the sun really being a star, plants making oxygen and assure him in the middle of a movie, during those really scary parts, that everything would turn out OK in the end. I was mom, I was the expert, I was always right.
It was an amazing feeling, but, like all good things, it had to come to an end.
"No mom! You wouldn't want to be in middle of the ocean! You don't know how long the zombie attack will last. You would run out of supplies."
My son has obviously thought this through. It's a little sad that I'm growing slowly less cool by the year, and very sad that I can't be right about everything anymore, but as my son is growing up it's exciting to see him become his own person, and an expert in his own field. I might still be in charge of cleaning the kitchen and killing off the last of the terrifying spinach, but in the event of a zombie attack I'll definitely put my son in charge.

Simple app but makes my work easier. I love the interface. Just bought a license :)
Keep up the great work!
Checkout http://code.google.com/p/virtualhost-sh/
and its free :)
Agreed: totally worth the $7. Developer is responsive and helpful. The app is simple if you're using built-in Apache. But:
1. VirtualHostX will break a Headdress-modified httpd.conf file in MAMP.
2. Step one of the wizard backs up the wrong file if you're using MAMP.
3. VirtualHostX doesn't work with Bonjour, so it's not easily possible to visit your virtual hosts from within Parallels.
This is a terrific price for the functionality!
I use a textmate project to edit my httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf, and hosts files, and use apachectl to control the apache daemon, but trying to explain the process to other developers is really a little painful. Now I can just point them to this app and be done with it.
BTW, why have people marked down sjag? I think it's useful to know that this app only supports the default apache install. Alot of people do run the macports apache port, for instance.
Fantastic app. Class-act developer.
Splendid application.
Splendid price.
Splendid support.
And I mean it.
This developer came back to me in a matter of minutes, after I sent him my email with the queries I had below. And yes, I was pointed in the right direction and after a few easy steps I'm now happily up and running with my virtual hosts and sites running PHP!
Top notch. Here's wishing the developer good luck with this and any other applications he creates.
I'm loving this application. Only thing I still need to find out, is how to parse and render PHP pages with it.
Great app and great support!
Too bad it only works when you use the default apache installation..
I love this program. I use it everyday at work and with every website I design and develop. It's totally worth the measly $7 the author is asking for.

Cincinnati: The draw
The result of the draw for the Masters-1000 tournament in Cincinnati is quite favourable for Roger.
After a first-round bye he will either play his first match against Jarkko Nieminen (ATP 41) or Alex Bogomolow (ATP 58) - he has never lost against either of the two so far. Philipp Kohlschreiber (ATP 18) could then be waiting in the the round of the last 16 and a clash with Juan Monaco (ATP 10) might follow in the quarters. Roger has also been able to defeat these two players every time in the past. David Ferrer (ATP 5, Roger leads the head-to-head 13:0) or Thomas Berdych (ATP 7) could then be waiting in the semis, before his opponent in the final could be defending champion Andy Murray (ATP 4).
Our world number one will be aiming at his fifth victory in Cincinnati after 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010.
Love u so much 😘😘😘😘😘
best of luck King Roger <3 love you
Good Fight! Go, Roger. Go to win.
Good luck.
Hope the tournament is a cincHinnati for you!

Who's Online ... ParanoiaParanoia is a term used by mental health specialists to describe suspiciousness (or mistrust) that is either highly exaggerated or not warranted at all.An unmistakable sign of paranoia is continual mistrust. People with paranoid personality disorder are constantly on their guard because they see the world as a threatening place. They tend to confirm their expectations by latching on to any speck of evidence that supports their suspicions and ignore or misinterpret any evidence to the contrary.They are ever watchful and may look around for signs of a threat. The most common delusion in delusional disorder is that of persecution. While persons with paranoid personality might suspect their colleagues of joking at their expense, persons with delusional disorder may suspect others of participating in elaborate master plots to persecute them.They believe that they are being poisoned, drugged, spied upon, or are the targets of conspiracies to ruin their reputations or even to kill them. They sometimes engage in litigation in an attempt to redress imagined injustices..

We West Virginians are among the most irresponsible in the nation when it comes to taking care of ourselves. We eat too much. We smoke too much. We take too many stupid chances with our safety....
I guess maybe we no longer have the right to be stupid, eat irresponsibly and all that. Do you really believe so called "research" that says that about West Virginia. I believe the same could be said about all 50 states. People are basically the same everywhere. To single out West Virginia when there are plenty of fat and stupid people in all the other states is wrong. Look around when you are on vacation. Do you see health fanatics everywhere, or ordinary people with a lot of health related problems because of poor choices, not because of the state they live in. Even if all of this is true, government cannot change people and throwing money at it will not solve the problems. It is individual responsibility that is needed. NOT government intervention and more spending.

The truth sometimes hurt. When it comes to health West Virginians do dumb things. West Virginians are too fat...just look at the folks at WalMart. West Virginians smoke too much...just smell the folks at WalMart...and West Virginians do not get enough exercise...just listen the folks at WalMart as they huff and puff their carts full of Chinese made crap across the parking lot to their gas guzzling SUVs and pickup trucks. Maybe financial incentives will work. It is worth a try...we have do something.

And a few things that I'm thinking about adding to my wardrobe...
Oh colored jeans, I'm still not over you. Especially in these fun bright colors!
Fabulous tops that you can wear now but will look great with shorts in the summer!
Lots of fun neon jewelry from my jewelry line and we've marked them down to some super great prices!

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team will be making history on Saturday at 2 p.m. when they host the Rice Owls. It will be the first-ever dual match at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, the new state-of-the-art facility for Islanders Tennis.
The team will come into the match at 1-0, fresh off of a 7-0 victory over an improved Prairie View A&M squad in Houston on Thursday. They will face the No. 70 Rice Owls in a match that will test the Islanders early in the year against one of the top teams in the nation.
The Owls are currently 2-0 on the year, with 7-0 wins coming over both Lamar and Louisiana – Lafayette to start the season. It will be the first road contest for Rice this campaign.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will also try to set a new single-match attendance record in the first match at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. Admission is free to the event and fans are encouraged to show up early and cheer on the Islanders against Rice in this historic event.

Before i start here i just wanted to let everyone know that it is still cold here, really cold, ice/snow storm cold, but on a positive note only 59 days till spring.
I think lately one of the most common questions i hear is "does Rozie walk yet"? I answer simply,no, and then the conversation goes a little something like this: is she cruising ,no, is she trying to take steps, nope, oh is she pulling up, no, is trying to stand, nope, and at this point i usually get the blank face. I always feel bad for the questioner (is that a word?) so i try to cheer them up: don't worry i say, she is doing so much, she can crawl now, we are so excited, and she signs so many words.
Its funny that this is where i am, i am giving support to others when really shouldn't i need the support. There was a time in my life when milestones where important. I didn't need my child to walk at a year but 18 months, i would have liked some steps.
This is a mindset, and i often get asked more than anything from new mothers of special needs children. "How do you accept the difference, how do you sit in a room full of babies the same age as Rozie, who are walking and climbing and running, and she is just sitting there. How does the jealousy and frustration not eat you alive."
Here is my advice.... Let it go, just let it go. We have choices in this world some are hard and complicated and some don't need to be.I love my Rozie without limits, she is my perfect baby no matter what, so I can A: dwell on the progress Rozie is not making, and cry, and turn green with jealously, or B: I can LET IT GO! She will do things when she does them, and that is also OK. Love for a child is not measured in milestones, it shouldn't be measured at all, love is limitless. Jealousy of other children and their accomplishments is putting a limit on your child, and i refuse. I have made the choice to let it go, my little Rozie deserves so much more than a milestone worry, she is better than that.
I choose answer B.
(did you notice her little hand on Dovie's back, i could plotz!)
It is like a thousands of dollars of therapy all wrapped up in a pretty package. Let things go. My Rozie is so wonderful, she has so many strengths that would wow that hardest audience, and she struggles in areas too, like walking, standing, and even allowing her feet to touch the ground. We are working on this , real hard, but this is not taking over my life, Rozie will walk, maybe not today, and most likely not tomorrow, but one day she WILL walk, and I've let it go.
I love you my 3 little kinderlach from the moon and back a million billion trillion times over

LETTER: City Amphitheater 'rips off' attendees
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 8:18 p.m.
Dear Editor: For the first time last week I attended an event at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. At intermission I went to the concession stand to buy some bottled water but just could not justify paying $4 for a half-liter bottle of Dasani. These go for $4.98 per 32-pack at Sam's Club. This is .16 cents each. The amphitheater multiplied the cost of the bottle of water by 25 to come up with the sales price.
If the city of Tuscaloosa has no problem ripping people off to this magnitude then I have no problem never attending an event at the amphitheater again.

Biopharmaceutical Innovation - Providing Value in the U.S. Health Care System
Biopharmaceutical Innovation - Providing Value in the U.S. Health Care System
03.22.13 | By Randy Burkholder
Recent reports by PhRMA on medicines in development for older Americans and on biologics in development highlight many of the significant advances that America's biopharmaceutical companies are working on bringing to patients. A new report released earlier this week by Avalere Health highlights the growing demands for evidence that payers and other health care decision-makers are placing on new medicines after FDA approval.
This trend is not unexpected in today's cost-conscious environment. And to some extent, it is to be embraced - new medicines offer substantial value to patients and the health care system, and it's important to demonstrate this through continued research.
At the same time, as the Avalere report highlights, these evidence demands need to align with the process of biopharmaceutical innovation, so that emerging advances continue to reach patients. As policy-makers seek new approaches to controlling health care costs, it's important to ensure that they reflect the complex, dynamic process of medical progress and provide incentives for continued innovation.
The Avalere report, based on a dialogue with leaders from across the health care system, identifies key themes and potential solutions for achieving this alignment and supporting high-quality, patient-centered care.
I'll be participating in a webinar that Avalere is sponsoring on March 28, where we'll delve into some of the key findings from the report. In addition, BioCentury This Week is planning to air an episode on March 31 to discuss the Avalere dialogue and report.
One of the report's more interesting findings was on the challenges "in creating centralized coverage policies to nimbly accommodate and mandate the diffusion of new technologies." "Inherent in calls for healthcare system that allows for 'continuous learning' is an acknowledgement" that the tension between demands for evidence of value and access to valuable advances must be reconciled, according to Avalere.
This was just one of several important conclusions that emerged from Avalere's in-depth analysis.
I hope you'll join us on March 28 as we explore a range of key issues in aligning evidence-based decision-making and continued innovation.

If you were counting down to "Gangnam Style"'s one billionth YouTube view on the site BillionCount.com, you might have been a little confused at what happened when the counter hit 1,000,000,000: it turned into a porn site: the "Xpress Cougar Dating Club." "When it was getting closer to 1 billion views I figured I had to do something with it," the site's creator told us.
BillionCount.com, a site set up solely to provide an approximate countdown to the exact moment at which "Gangnam Style" would hit one billion views, had been shared several thousand times on Facebook and Twitter by 10:26 a.m. — the moment when it estimated that the video had surpassed a billion. It now redirects to the self-proclaimed "#1 Sex Dating Site" on the internet, as many people noticed:
The site is registered to a Eugene Hartley of Los Angeles. I emailed him to see what the story was. "To be honest it was just a serious project in the beginning, and at the end I wanted to promote Bitcoin [the independent digital currency] through it," he wrote back. "[I] couldn't find a real good way to do so. When it was getting closer to 1 billion views I figured I had to do something with it but wasn't really sure what." So he made a choice that webmasters have been making since time immemorial: "It was either let the site die off, or try to get some money through promoting dating sites."
And what better way to close out the year in the internet, really? A failed attempt at attaching a bitcoin promotion to the year's biggest viral video, now just a bunch of "adult dating site" ads.

Matt Drudge's latest foray into barely subliminal messaging doesn't involve evil black youths beating up kindly white people. Instead, it shows Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President Obama, and Nancy Pelosi all making the same gesture, establishing them as equally evil. Cute!
And two of them are pointing to Pat Buchanan's latest fever dream about imminent American collapse — autumn's hottest beach read! What a lovely fourth grade art project this Drudge Report website is. B+.

And then there were three.
After what seemed to be endless weeks of blind auditions, battle rounds and live showdowns, "The Voice" is down to a trio of finalists who will compete for the Season 3 crown in next week's finale.
Terry McDermott, Cassadee Pope and Nicholas David will vie the $100,000 prize and a recording contract with Universal Republic. McDermott and Pope are members of Blake Shelton's team and David is representing Cee Lo Green.
Cut from the competition during Wednesday night's results show was soulful crooner Trevin Hunte, who was a member of Team Cee Lo.
"Thank you for pushing me, motivating me," Hunte said to Green, after being eliminated. "I love you, Cee Lo. I will always love you. I'm just happy to be here."
Just prior to being sent home, Hunte and David teamed up to sing Mariah Carey's classic ballad "Hero." Earlier in the evening, McDermott and Pope
delivered a duet of "Little Talks" by the Icelandic folk/Indie band Of Monsters and Men.
Tuesday's show also featured performances from "Voice" alumni, including Juliet Simms, RaeLynn, and Chris Mann.
As for next week's finale, it's no time for anyone to rest on their laurels.
"There's a lot of work to be done," Shelton said. "You can't leave any stone unturned."

Follow-on Stock Sales Highest Since 2008
Companies and their major stakeholders are taking advantage of surging stock prices to raise money or cash out at the fastest pace in years.
As of Wednesday, there had been 497 follow-on stock offerings from U.S. listed companies this year, raising $127.4 billion, according to Dealogic. That is the highest number for the year-to-date period since at least 2008, and the most money raised since 2009, when companies had raised $156.5 billion by this point on the calendar.
The trend reflects "a robust economic environment," said Philip Drury, co-head of Equity Capital Markets for the Americas at Citigroup's investment bank.
The largest follow-on deal of the year was this week's LinkedIn Corp's $1.2 billion stock offering. Dealogic noted the offering was the third-largest from a U.S.-based Internet-related company on record, behind a $2.1 billion offering by Google in March 2006 and a $1.6 billion sale by Cisco Systems in 2000.
Follow-on offerings have been rising in conjunction with a strong market for initial public offerings. As of the end of August, 134 companies had gone public in the U.S., up 37% from 2012, and on track to make this the busiest year since 2007, as The Wall Street Journal's Matt Jarzemsky and Telis Demos reported Thursday.

There has been no shortage of lessons learned the last two weeks for the Oak Ridge boys basketball team. From diplomacy to geography, Oak Ridge got a full course load at the Arby's Classic and will play its final game today as they face Dobyns-Bennett for the second time in as many weeks in the fifth-place game at 2:30 p.m.
Oak Ridge 57, Va. Episcopal 54
Oak Ridge tied 32-32 at halftime with the 2012 runner-up in the Virginia Division II tournament went on a 15-6 run at halftime and held on late to get their first win of the tournament against the Fighting Bishops.
Virginia Episcopal had multiple chances to get a shot in late but could not connect.
Cory Fagan, who has had a good tournament so far, came out of his shooting slump hitting 4-of-6 from the three-point line and led the Wildcats with 15 points. Isaac Merian had 13.
Jaylin Henderson and Rian Hall had nine points each.
Anthony Swan, a transfer from Los Angeles, led VES with 15. Skye Johnson had 13 and Eastern Carolina commit Caleb White had 11.
Melrose 79, Oak Ridge 71
A second comeback fell just short for Oak Ridge as the Golden Wildcats of Memphis Melrose scored 27 points in the fourth quarter.
Oak Ridge led 53-52 at the start of the fourth but Melrose put on a full-court press that the Oak Ridge 'Cats couldn't contend with. Melrose, a perennial state title contender, was led by Donte Fitzpatrick and Jamerrio Jones with 20 points each. Fitzpatrick also had 10 rebounds.
Marlon Hunter had 17 and Kenneth Goodwin had 16 for the Golden Wildcats as MHS had just one point from its bench.
Rian Hall led Oak Ridge with 20 and Rashad Gray had 18 in the seniors strongest performance since rejoining the team this season after sitting out the past two years. Cory Fagan had 13 and Jaylin Henderson had eight.
Oak Ridge 71, Princeton Day Academy, Md. 54

Omogbo — a Robert Morris commit — was ejected after scoring four points and gathering seven rebounds.
Cory Fagan had 21 to lead all scorers. Jaylin Henderson had 19.
Merian finished with 10 points and nine boards and went on to win the tournament Slam Dunk Contest by jumping over a Food Lion Mascot. Merian defeated Berkmar's (Ga.) C.J. Foster in the finals.

Video Games That Make You Feel Like Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones is not the only one solving annoying ancient puzzles in haunted caves, armed with a whip and dynamites, far from civilization. A setting like this is perfect for video games, so it is no surprise that many were influenced by the character, and the similarities in some cases are amazing.***

Three bills sponsored by McGrady head to governor
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 6:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 6:15 p.m.
Today, the state Senate passed three bills sponsored by Rep. Chuck McGrady (R-Hendersonville) — House Bill 315 (Plastics Labeling Requirements), House Bill 774 (Building Code Exclusion/Primitive Structures), and House Bill 829 (Sale of Growlers by Certain ABC Permittees).
House Bill 315 will require that degradable plastic products be clearly labeled to prevent contamination of recycled plastic feedstocks. North Carolina is one of the top states for plastics recycling, and the bill seeks to protect the recycling industry by making sure degradable plastics don't contaminate recyclable plastics, McGrady's office said in a news release Wednesday.
House Bill 774 exempts certain primitive structures from the State Building Code. The legislation will address the closing of Eustace Conway's Turtle Island Preserve outside of Boone.
House Bill 829 allows the sale of malt beverages in large, refillable containers, known as "Growlers," in grocery stores, wine shops and other places where alcoholic beverages are sold.
