Chipotle Cranberry Sauce
I only recently discovered that my daughter-in-law likes cranberry sauce. And here's why she likes it. Late at night after Thanksgiving dinner, she likes to make herself a "Thanksgiving sandwich." This is composed of a leftover dinner roll topped with turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. The cranberry sauce is her sandwich spread. So like a good/great/fantastic/best-ever mother-in-law, I made cranberry sauce for her this year. She's an easy going person, but made it clear to me that she can smell cloves a mile away like skunk spray on a warm summer night, so I avoided adding cloves at all cost. I opted to add a little heat with the chipotle spice and I have to tell you that I actually love this cranberry sauce! It must just be the canned versions that I don't care for. Lesson learned.... from now on I make my own sauce!
Chipotle Cranberry Sauce
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp ground ginger
pinch of salt
1/4-12 tsp ground chipotle powder (you can also use 1-2 tsp of chipotle canned in adobo sauce, pureed)
1 (12 oz.) bag of fresh cranberries
juice of 1/2 lime
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, ginger, salt and chipotle powder. Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. Add the cranberries and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, remove cinnamon stick and stir in freshly squeezed lime juice. Let cool.

Actually I never eat the cranberry sauce, I think because it's usually too sweet. I like the tang of cranberries! This one sounds pretty good though, I would like to try it. You are the best MIL!!!

Oh my, we had the sliced cranberry sauce from a can when I was a kid, too. I didn't know there was such a thing as "real" cranberry sauce until my twenties. This recipe looks delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I don't care much for cranberry sauce, but have fallen in love with fresh cranberry salsa (based on Martha Stewart's Cranberry-Orange Relish). Cranberry anything certainly perks up the Turkey Day table.

I enjoyed the first set, particularly the YEM - Page's solo was surprisingly funky and featured a nice Trey solo. To these ears YEM possessed some special, indefinable quality in those early days that's lacking in modern versions. I can only imagine going to see this strange new band on my school's campus and hearing such a song for the first time. Maybe the ability to hear the song with such a mindset in mind combined with the sheer ferocity the band was displaying when tearing their quintessential tune to shreds in those days creates such an effect. I also wish they would become more creative with their setlist placement of YEM nowadays. It's fun hearing it pop up in the middle of the first set.
Some songs, however, were clearly still finding their place. The first-ever Squirming Coil seemed a little rough at parts, and Trey in particular struggled with the tone of his guitar at a few points. This is also before the song developed the beloved extended outro by Page. After Caravan Trey introduces the Squirming Coil and tells the crowd that Lawn Boy will be released a few days later.
I really wish they'd bust Caravan out these days. I miss the jazz tunes they used to throw in the middle of sets. The set closes out strongly with Caravan, Lizards (although I think there may have been a few flubs in Trey's solo), and a very strong Run Like an Antelope. I loved some of Page's keyboard work in this one, and Trey sounded as great as he had all night. The drop into the jam segment sounded a little rough though.
Set II starts off with a nice Oh Kee Pa > Suzy followed by the debut of Bouncing Around the Room. The tempo seemed a tad bit slower, but that could be true of other early versions too, I'm not sure. Next up is a beautiful early version of Reba. I'm partial to the groovier, later versions (i.e. 10/31/94 - a contender for my favorite piece of Phish music) but this Reba is just gorgeous. Trey's solo just SOARS while Mike's murky bass pounds away and Page adds to the canvas with beautiful flourishes on his keyboard. (I know all of the same things could probably be said for any version of Reba, and I doubt this version is anything special per say, but nevertheless I enjoyed it greatly).
Tela was pretty without any noticeable flubs, and La Grange ROCKS, Trey absolutely tears it apart, but I could barely hear the vocals on my recording. This is another tune I wish they would bring back. Lawn Boy is Lawn Boy. Page's organ intro to Esther started off a little rough, but it might have been the recording. Otherwise though, Ester was tight and beautiful as always. Such a spooky little tune. Page's work in this song is really just spectacular.
Set II finishes off with Mike's Groove. The jam in Mike's is loud, heavy, and fierce. Nothing like what it would become within the next 5 years of course, but a scorcher nonetheless. Towards the end Trey holds out a long sustained note while Page pounds away at his organ. After back-to-back listens of this Mike's, I've decided that I really really like it. Trey sounded a little rough at parts in Hydrogen, but it was typically beautiful. Like most early Weekapaugs, there's no funk to be found here. Just high energy, high intensity machine gun Trey. This version doesn't seem to "click" as well as other early versions I've heard (such as 10/31/90) and it struck me as a little below average. Parts of it seemed a little noisy, perhaps it was just the recording.
Hood is such a great encore choice and this version does not disappoint. The composed section is a little rough around the edges occasionally, but the jam segment of the song is transcendent as per usual. Trey's tone is so crisp and clear while he plays the most intricate and captivating melodies. Hands down the show highlight for me.
Overall, I'd love to give this one a 3.75 star rating, but I just can't quite justify a 4 star rating, even with versions of Mike's Song and Harry Hood that I will definitely revisit. A great listen for fans of Phish's sound in the pre-93 era.

Q To the silence of mass media and our elected officials, gas prices have been rocketing up the past few weeks. In Fremont, the price for regular gas increased 42 cents in just 14 days at an Arco station. Many stations are either at or closing in on the $4 price tag. Amazingly (not really), there is not even "fake" outrage from our elected officials about the oil companies hurting middle-class families by raising prices for no apparent reason. Or are the higher prices our punishment for the California and Obama "green" agenda?
What do you think?
Devin Foley
A Our high prices can indeed be linked to our special blend of clean-burning fuel we've been using for about 15 years, since we cannot import that blend from other states. But after seeing TV broadcasts of the awful smog in China and in Salt Lake City, many have no problems with our type of fuel -- especially when they can see the eastern foothills that too often were blocked by valley smog when we moved here in 1984.
Oil companies now keep just enough supplies to meet demand, and when refineries go down for whatever reason, our prices soar. Do I like it? No. Do I like clean air? Most definitely.
Here is something else to consider.
Q This is a response to Jeffrey Novick's comments recently regarding charging electric/high-mileage car owners more for registration "and leave everybody else alone" to make up for the loss in gas tax revenue.
I find it interesting that Novick's proposal ran in the same edition of the Mercury News as the lead article on the Bay Area's high rate of hospitalization for children's asthma as a result of air pollution, etc. Charging a higher registration fee to owners of electric/high-mileage cars to make up for the loss in gas tax revenue is counterintuitive and counterproductive to national and state goals of reducing oil use and air pollution.
As the owner of two older petroleum-burning vehicles (gas and diesel), I would be willing to pay a bit more in taxes at the pump to make up for lost revenue, but only if those moneys went solely to improve and maintain our roads.
Alan Keith
Mountain View
A Too often as gas prices soar above $4 a gallon, we tend to overlook the benefits of the more expensive fuel that you point out.
Q I find it amusing reading the comments about gas prices. Gas should be priced at what people are willing to pay. That is what capitalism is all about. Is this good? Not necessarily, but it is what we have. I never complain about gas prices.
Michael Arellano
San Jose
A You are one of the few who doesn't.
Now to the hot issue of today: Where did radio deejay icons Don Sherwood and Carter B. Smith work?
Q Your reader Jim Craddick may have been thinking of KSFO and not KGO as mentioned in your Feb. 12 column when reminiscing about Sherwood and Smith -- the two disc jockeys who Craddick fondly recalled for their humorous traffic stunts. I worked at KGO from 1962 to 1998, but it's our sister station KSFO that gets the credit for them. ... Sherwood and Smith were on KSFO. I bet that I'm not the only one to correct this!
Verna McGann and Valerie Fick
A That is a bet you would win.
Q The Sherwood siren story on 101 is true and reminds me of another. Sherwood would also ask everyone on the Bay Bridge to honk their horns at the same time when he gave them a cue. He had such a large listening audience that it could get pretty noisy. ... Thanks for making me think of Sherwood again. ... At that time, KSFO was a personality-driven station with Sherwood, Jim Lange ("The Dating Game" host), Dan Sorkin and Al "Jazzbo" Collins. I believe it was one of the first stations to use a helicopter for traffic. Their studio was in the Fairmont and they were owned by Gene Autry. ... Sherwood was a very humorous and entertaining personality. Everybody listened to him. If you were in heavy traffic when he told a joke, you could look around at the drivers on either side of you and see them laughing. Sherwood kept us laughing for years. He dubbed himself "The World's Greatest Disc Jockey" -- a title Herb Caen often used in his column.
Max Jedda, Ted Atlas, Chuck Little, David Worthington, Curt Evans, Andy Lee, Bob Kimmel, Ed Eisenman, Patty and Lee Sherman, Mike Bench, Steve Dini and many more
A To be mentioned by Herb Caen was perhaps the ultimate tribute.

ingredient information
Flour Defatted
Flour is a powder made of cereal grains or roots. It is the main ingredient of bread, which is a staple food for many civilizations, making the availability of adequate supplies of flour a major economic and political issue at various times throughout history. Wheat flour is one of the most important foods in European and North American culture, and is the defining ingredient in most European styles of breads and pastries. Maize flour has been important in Mesoamerican cuisine since ancient times, and remains a staple in much of Latin American cuisine. Flour contains a high proportion of starches, which are complex carbohydrates also known as polysaccharides. Leavening agents are used with some flours, especially those with significant gluten content, to produce lighter and softer baked products by embedding small gas bubbles. The production of flour has also historically driven technological development, as attempts to make gristmills more productive and less labor-intensive led to the watermill and windmill, terms now applied more broadly to uses of water and wind power for purposes other than milling.

Definition of psalmody in English:
noun[mass noun]
1The singing of psalms or similar sacred canticles, especially in public worship: psalmody is common to all the Churches and is acceptable in those few Churches where hymns are not
More example sentences
- Additional material found in certain psalters includes refrains used for antiphonal psalmody and appendices containing canticles or other sacred writings.
- David's authority now stood behind the role of the Levites and the use of psalmody in worship.
- Thus it was his habit that, upon returning from the harvest, he would give himself to 'prayer, meditation and psalmody until his thoughts were re-established in their previous order.'
1.1Psalms arranged for singing: these books offer a useful collection of psalmody
More example sentences
- Christian plainchant offers melodic settings of varying complexity for the Ordinary and Proper texts of their parent rites, which may consist of psalmody and other scriptural texts or freely composed hymnody.
- Four volumes deal with different kinds of material in the Old Testament: narrative, prophecy, poetry / psalmody, wisdom and law.
- And Mary's song, the Magnificat, sung in response to her visit with her relative Elizabeth (which is the alternative psalmody for today), becomes the archetypal psalm of faith.
- Example sentences
- Certain psalmodic chants also became subject to purely musical elaboration, whether through polyphony (in the Latin West) or kalophonia (in the Byzantine East).
- Despite these efforts to rely on wall-to-wall ditties, psalmodic chant still figures prominently in the Weekday liturgy.
- In the Mass, the chants of the Ordinary are all non-psalmodic and those of the Proper are psalmodic.
- Example sentences
- Malcolm Watts argues his case fully and strongly, but ultimately too many questions remain - in particular, whether Ephesians 5: 19 and Colossians 3: 16 can bear the weight that exclusive psalmodists seek to place on them.
- Exclusive psalmodists claim that God nowhere authorizes uninspired hymns. The conclusion that uninspired hymns are forbidden follows naturally.
- Noteworthy, however, is the fact that the Apostles Creed was frequently recited in Puritan worship services, an act that most exclusive Psalmodists consider a violation of the regulative principle.
Middle English: via late Latin from Greek psalmōidia 'singing to a harp', from psalmos (see psalm) + ōidē 'song'.

In Columbia County, the Board of Education is fighting to save a piece of local history. Evans Middle School is over capacity and the current building will be demolished.
The arch is a landmark that has stood on North Belair Road for over half a century. It is the only survivor of a fire back in the fifties. The arch and columns have been with Evans Middle School since its for about seventy years. But if they don't find a new home, they will be demolished right along with the old building.
Secretary Peggy Stewart started first grade here, the first year it opened.
"When we started, the community was small and everybody knew everybody," Stewart said.
Her home was in the school's backyard. The original school was built in the late twenties. Its original two wings have changed a lot. One of the main hallways and the area by the office used to be outdoors. And the library was added on in the nineties.
Librarian Anna Oliff knows the move is necessary since the school is over capacity by about 200 students.
"Just looking back through some old yearbooks, when you think about it, this was the center of the community," said Oliff.
The construction site will soon be the new Evans Middle School. And right now, they're set to open by next school year. Also, right next door is the new administration building.
The construction on Hereford Farm Road has to be done by then, because the old building has been sold to developers. Everyone has to be gone after the last day of school.
"We've just trying to preserve a piece of history so it can be appreciated by the next generation," said Principal Michael Johnson.
Principal Michael Johnson is trying to raise money to relocate the arch.
"We need a new school real bad, but when that day comes, it's gonna be sad," Stewart said.
For Peggy Stewart, saving the landmark will save a piece of her past.
The Board of Education will move it, but they have not decided where. They are putting together a committee of former students and interested citizens to make the decision and to raise money.

His Secret Sign Language
Liar Move: He wraps his ankle around the leg of a chair.
Busted: "Pulling off a lie is stressful, so when a guy is masking the truth, his body will tense up," says body-language expert Janine Driver. "As a result, he'll take a more rigid stance. This is also a subconscious sign of restraint. It's like he's physically fighting to hold back from telling the whole story."
Liar Move: He suddenly puts his hands in his pockets.
Busted: "Showing his palms indicates comfort and openness, so when he's lying, he'll instinctively feel the need to conceal them," says Patti Wood, author of Success Signals: A Guide to Reading Body Language. "He may also hide his hands behind his back or occupy them by fidgeting with an object, like his cell phone."

Autism is a complex neurological disorder. It may or may not be noticed during infancy. It is usually identified during early childhood between the ages of 2-6 years. People with autism have difficulty communicating and forming relationships.
Autism spectrum disorders include autism, Asperger syndrome , and pervasive developmental disorder. Autism is a lifelong condition that varies in severity depending on the person. Some people with autism need to be cared for their entire life and have other conditions, such as seizures and intellectual disabilities . Others are able to live on their own and work.
The exact cause of autism is not known. Researchers have identified the following factors that may increase a person's risk of developing autism:
What are the risk factors for autism?
What are the symptoms of autism?
How is autism diagnosed?
What are the treatments for autism?
Are there screening tests for autism?
How can I reduce my child's risk of autism?

What settings do you guys use in Tidyplates to make those sub 20% mobs ESPECIALLY stand out?
What settings do you guys use in Tidyplates to make those sub 20% mobs ESPECIALLY stand out?
Heeey I did the sameI use tidyplates/quatre/damage and it has a specific setting for setting the high,medium, and low health colors and % values. I just set the % value for low to 20% and red.
I kinda miss having the threat color though.
Oh really ? I haven't spotted the spells, not that I have looked at the videos with a magnifying glass :PNafyi from Blood Legion plays Destro on almost every fight and outdeals every other specc.
Very nice to hear then !
Edit: now I see it, was he the one on Durumu ? (ending 1st)
Last edited by Zumzumzum; 2013-03-20 at 02:35 PM.
This thread is meandering in and out of topic, I prefer it either stays on the topic on how well Destro is doing in raids (compared to other classes/specs), or I'll just close it and redirect to the main Destro sticky if it stays off topic. (I would have merged it in the first place if this thread hadn't been a bit too big when I found it + seemed to have a seperate topic)
If you're interested in how Destro is doing at high end progression (again, something that doesn't relate in any way to your situation), it seems to be doing fine if not very well. One of the reasons I think that many progression locks stuck with Affliction is that it was still strong, it got nerfed just before HM's opened up, and I think a lot of these players didn't have time to relearn/rekeybind/etc a new spec. Remember that they have to be able to not only switch specs, but switch entire toons as necessary. Nobody quite figured out how strong Destro was until 5.2 went live (they also hadn't fixed SB granting 2 embers until after the patch went live). Demonology was talked about on the PTR as being the strongest so I think some locks made the switch there from Affliction (and again, Demo was nerfed just before progression unlocked as well).
So that's my 2 cents of why you see the progression locks using the specs they are using right now. I think this is going to change as we see the upper (but not bleeding edge) and mid tier guilds advance throughout their progression. Then you'll start seeing more Destro locks. Of course, if the T15H sims are accurate (and I'm not sure they are yet), then you'll see people gravitating towards Affliction again at the end of the tier.
This in turn results in a higher ember generation rate, allowing you to cast more chaosbolts.
More chaosbolts = more single target dps.
This is not padding in any way shape fashion or form, much like dropping RoF/keeping incinerate on both heads, it's a single target, effective DPS increase.
Magnificence personified
Mainspec Destro right now, pulling extremely good numbers for me!
Actually simmed higher as Destro in my gear as well.

As far helping the team kill the boss goes -
Upside: You gain up to 6 emberbits extra every 25 seconds
Downside: it costs 0.5 second GCD
People butthurt that you meter pad slightly every 25 seconds has no impact on how well the fight goes.
Destruction has strong sustained AoE, but it still isn't as bursty as Demo (Or Elemental, or even Fire), and it's single target is "Decent".
Retired World's Best Warlock.
How is it annoying to play Destro atm ? I never enjoyed this much playing in 3 years, and the DPS is awesome. We really aren't in a position to whine honestly.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A western Massachusetts animal shelter is getting in on the Black Friday shopping frenzy.
The Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society is charging just $5 on Friday to adopt a cat that's at least six months old. The normal adoption fee for a cat that age is $95.
The shelter has facilities in Springfield and Leverett.
Candy Lash tells WGGB-TV (http://bit.ly/USQGbz) that the $5 fee includes spay or neuter surgery, micro chipping, vaccination, testing, color and tag, and a starter kit of food.
Dakin hopes the promotion frees up some space for cats from shelters destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.

NEW YORK -- After years and years of way too much hang time, the Pro Football Hall of Fame's invitation to Ray Guy finally landed Saturday
And when it happened, the punter did not punt when asked for a reaction to the news. He was emotional.
"You just don't know what the feeling means, after so many years," Guy said here, admitting there was "frustration" if not anxiety as he was passed over seven times as a Canton finalist.
Because now, he could come clean. Guy truly was mystified about why he was being kept out of a place where he believed that he belonged.
And rightly so. Guy retired in 1986. But he was named the punter for the NFL's 75th anniversary team a few years ago. It seemed strange that the man acknowledged as the best punter of the league's first 75 years had not been recognized as a Hall of Famer.
Oh, Guy had been a good sport about it. He kept telling reporters that it would be OK if he never made it to Canton. This was a lie. He wanted to be there so badly. Guy also said that the real issue to him was seeing any punter, him or otherwise, be elected to the Hall. Why? Because no pure punter ever had been inducted. And Guy believes it was an important football position.
"You knew it would happen, sooner or later," Guy said. "It's a football position. It needed to be represented."
That part was not a lie. Guy is an evangelist for all punters. But underneath, he knew that the man who deserved to be inducted sooner or later was him.
He did receive a clue last Monday that this might be his time. Guy's original plan was to spend Saturday at his home in Mississippi with friends and some good meat on his outdoor cooker, hoping for good news. But the Hall of Fame folks gave him a call and invited him to New York, telling him his election looked good.
He still wasn't counting on it. Guy knew the problem: Some electors simply believed that a punter did not belong in the Hall. But fortunately, that changed Saturday when the 46 voters met in a hotel conference room to choose the 2014 Hall of Fame class.
In the course of a nine-hour meeting, Guy's candidacy was discussed along with the credentials of 16 other finalists. But because Guy fell into the category of a "senior" candidate, he needed 80 percent support of those voters to receive induction. And it happened.
As a result, Guy was then introduced along with six other new inductees on the stage of Radio City Music Hall, where the NFL was staging its annual television show to honor award winners. Standing there at age 64, with his gray goatee, there was no happier man.
"The deal is, I'm going into the Hall of Fame and I know it's for me," he said. "But I'm happy really for my family and friends, the people who were with me and supported me all these years."
Guy, who conducts punting clinics and camps, also believes his election will mean something to those kids he is tutoring.
"It's going to give the younger generation hope that there is a place for us," Guy said. "If that's your dream, go for it."
Seeing him on the stage with the other six Hall of Fame inductees, he hardly looked as if he didn't fit. At 6-foot-3 inches tall and still thin, he was clearly as much of an NFL player as any of them. It brought back memories of the great athletic play he made in Super Bowl XVIII against Washington, where he leapt several feet in the air to make a one-handed grab of a high snap and still get away the kick.
Discussions in the Hall of Fame room are secret. But one of the electors said when Guy's name was discussed, the word "pioneer" was frequently used. Al Davis, the Raiders' owner, had made Guy a first-round draft pick in 1973, an unprecedented move for a punter. And the Raiders subsequently used him as a weapon. By legend, former Oakland coach John Madden invented the phrase "hang time" when speaking of those booming punts launched off Guys' foot.
"Pioneer?" asked Guy. "I've never even thought about that part. But if that's what people think is the case, I'm proud of it."
Hall of Fame officials now require the people who present the inductees to use videotaped remarks rather than make them in person — mostly to prevent long-winded speeches — but either way, Guy says he has asked Madden to make those remarks. It will be a glorious trip to Canton for Guy, who very quietly endured a bankruptcy several years ago and was induced to sell his Super Bowl rings.
The other candidates with strong Bay Area connections among the finalists — former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo, former 49ers defender Charles Haley and former Raiders receiver Tim Brown — failed to receive enough votes and will have to wait at least another year for election.
But at least one Northern California name will be spending an August weekend in Canton. It couldn't happen to a better foot. Or man.

The words "Shirley Temple" are sung in the background vocals of a short Wolfman's, making its first appearance since the GameHoist show.
Free gets the extended '95 style exploration in a first-set version and It's Ice is well played. Fishman's I Didn't Know trombone solo is more polished than usual (and possibly the last time Fishman pulled out the trombone for this tune, if this site's notes are correct).
The Fog That Surrounds is introduced by Trey by saying, "Some of you think you know this song, but you don't." It is of course, the reworked Taste, a brief change of form that the band made to this now classic Phish tune.
The debut of CTB is uneventful, but Bag takes us on a slightly longer journey that segues smoothly into the Bowie intro, with a slow jam connecting the two songs. A fast and manic Bowie never moves deep into Type II territory.
Billy Breathes intro is slightly different and the song isn't really finished and the Keyboard Army that follows is short but sweet.
The rest of the show isn't especially noteworthy, with Hello My Baby dedicated to Pete Schall and a surprisingly strong Possum encore. A show that might only interest completists and those seeking out debuts, though the playing isn't bad.

The new "Star Wars" sequel may have itself a writer -- a good one, too.
Vulture reported that Oscar-winner Michael Arndt may get the coveted job of writing "Star Wars: Episode VII." According to the site, Arndt wrote a "40-50 page treatment" for the film, which could earn him the job when Disney and its newly-purchased LucasFilm decides to hire a screenwriter.
Arndt's draft will reportedly go to the offices of J.J. Abrams, Brad Bird and Steven Spielberg, though none of those directors are necessarily shoo-ins for the job (Can you imagine Abrams guiding the future of both "Star Trek" and "Star Wars"? That's a lot of responsibility. One false move, and every nerd in America would surround his house with death lasers).
According to Deadline.com, Arndt wrote treatments, for "Episode VII," "Episode VIII" and Episode "IX."
Arndt won his Oscar for "Little Miss Sunshine," but he has blockbuster cred. He wrote "Toy Story 3" for Disney and Pixar, and contributed to the script for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
That's a pretty decent resume.
Disney recently bought LucasFilm for $4.05 billion, and promptly announced they were firing up the Star Wars machine again. Matthew Vaughn and Colin Trevorrow have been tied to "Episode VII" as possible directors, while original stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill may also be back on board. All three have expressed interest. As an unnamed source told Entertainment Weekly's that Ford is "open to the idea of doing the movie and he's upbeat about it," though the star would prefer if Han Solo died.
That's not very nice.

Republicans condemn Buncombe official's TV comments
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 11:47 p.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina county Republican Party official is resigning after GOP leaders criticized him over comments he made on "The Daily Show" about the new law requiring photo identification to vote.
Buncombe County precinct chairman Don Yelton said in a brief interview Thursday that he's stepping down.
State party chairman Claude Pope said Yelton's comments airing Wednesday on the Comedy Central show were "completely inappropriate and highly offensive" and Yelton didn't speak for the party.
Yelton said the voter ID law "is going to kick the Democrats in the butt" and was OK if it meant some college students or white or black people wouldn't vote when it takes effect.
Pope and the Buncombe GOP chairman had threatened removal proceedings against Yelton if he didn't resign.

Deception.. my Reflections..
By tjobson on Jan 26, 2007
Take a close look.. Not everything in Life is as it Appears...
Deception, Trust, .. and Online Security ...
In this fast-paced, internet-based culture that we're all a part of, there are a few things that we all need to be aware of. Among the long list.. items that we all need to be cognizant of, relates to online deception in all it's forms (MySpace/ Yahoo 360 Identity Fraud, Identity Theft, Security of our personal information, players, con-men/women, etc..).
Unfortunately, an ever growing majority of those on-line are NOT honest.. trustworthy.. or even who they say they are. MOST of these deceivers are fulfilling some inner need (conning others, living vicariously, boosting personal confidence, a fling.. a cheap thrill.. who knows).. most compelled to continue.. or addicted to the virtual recognition or relationships they hold (not honestly knowing the person on the other end of the wire).
While we need to protect our identities and personal information, we also need to work on being honest once we establish a friendship (granted.. we do need some level of keeping our guard up initially to protect ourselves.. take things slow.. don't be in a rush to give out too much about yourself.. be careful).
No matter what.. nearly every page online is backed by a person that can be hurt.. so I've written the following poem below to reflect on the impact of deception :
Reflections on ....
The Players, the Liars, the Pathological pseudo-sympathizers..
they prey on the vulnerable,
the weak.. those sad and meek.
Those lonely, or alone,
feeling broken.. or trapped at home,
They're the ones they seek..
those helpless and weak.
Fakes and impostors,
posers with on-line rosters.
Perception, just a reflection..
a Relative Reality of a friendship defection.
.. but Truth and honesty is the exception,
when deception is my reflection...
..a window on a world where trust is an election.
A Disillusioned Delusion
of deceitful collusion..
.. on-line love.. is it real,
or just an illusion ?
For many... Exploitation is their Specialization,
their duality of sexuality..
.. a vacation for excitation.
Their lapse.. in realization
.. to others.. real hell under magnification.
Expectations and elation,
all relate to a perverted sensation.
Temptation or Emancipation,
just casual exploits of the internet generation.
To be used and discarded..
left mentally scarred and broken hearted..
our fellings shattered... hearts guarded..
to the abuser ... a victory, to the victim... abuse.
Elusive invaders,
"users" .. the Invasive persuaders
Some weekend offenders,
others weathered pretenders,
all on the loose.
Predators that pray
and prey that Surrenders,
they cast their veil by day
the lure, who remembers,
most free to run their course.
Lets hope Justice prevails
..criminals punished, some in jails,
infused with a sense of remorse.
But before we claim victory.. elated,
let's ask ourselves..
Is Jealousy and Deception.. anticipated ?
Could it just be ..
.. the "Invasion" of an Illusion.. ?
.. or simply, the "Illusion" of an Invasion ?
To me, they're all Reflections..
.. Deception .. Our perception of an expectation.
Copyright 2006-2007 Todd A. Jobson
Be careful.. and choose your words wisely.. Broken Hearts and shattered dreams are just a keystroke away.
TRUE Friends are ones that won't run away on a moment's notice..
when the going gets tough.. (those are fair weather friends that we each
have encountered time and time again.. always looking to fulfill their own needs,
irrespective of the needs that others might have.. theirs always coming first).
Everyone hears what you say.. but TRUE Friends LISTEN to what you
are thinking about..and feel.. there for you during your darkest moments.
Caring and compassion is a key, but honesty and trust is a must.
True friends can share fears and hopes, tears and their deepest aspirations.
When all else in your life seems bleak or is gone .. you've lost hope and feel all alone..
True Friends will be there.
True Friends won't try to sway one another with Political or Religious debates.. or throw
a temper tantrum when they don't get their way. They will forgive and say their sorry..
they won't let bad days or mood swings get between them and those around them.
True friends will always care about more than just themselves.. shining when the clouds set in...
Few of us appreciate what we have.. until we loose it..
Think about the simple things in life that we have lost appreciation for.. and give thanks
to those around us just as they deserve.. reminding them of just how much they mean to us..
because here today.. could easily be .. gone tomorrow..
(Our Children, our spouses / significant others, parents/ family, friends, .. our health, our careers, our finances, our freedoms, the safety that we take for granted, the abundance of food / shelter, ..our lifestyle.. etc.. etc..)
It all underscores the topic at hand ... Loyalty, Honesty, Integrity.. all those Virtues and Values that each of us should uphold in any relationship, whether it's a friendship.. or something more.. we all need to Give Thanks !
Ask yourself... If I (or another friend) needed to reach out in a time of need... would you be there ? ?
.. and do I appreciate what those friends have done for me.. or do I just expect it ??..
.. am I only fulfilling MY needs ??.. or am I also recipricating and fulfilling the needs of those that have been there for me ??..
Balance in life is a must. To sustain what we have.. everything needs to be a 2 way street.. give thanks and don't take life .. (including those that care about you) for granted !!
Your Trustworthy blogger ..

EDWARDS, Colorado - Thursday's St. Clare Veterans Day ceremony was a study in life's circles.
For example, St. Clare students worked various odd jobs and fundraisers to collect money that they gave the veterans Thursday afternoon. The veterans will give it away as scholarships to other kids, and a wonderful circle is completed.
It ended with "Taps," as these occasions must. St. Clare's Kendal Sego played her trumpet, a kid with her whole life in front of her, honoring those whose lives were just a few scant years further along than hers but cut so tragically short, and a terrible circle is completed.
Capt. Peter Thompson won the Bronze Star for his service as a forward observer near the South Vietnamese border. You earn a Bronze Star Medal for heroism, merit, or meritorious service in a combat zone.
Thompson has some stories to tell, not all of them pleasant. Instead he focused on the kids, asking questions and enjoying the conversation.
"What's a veteran?" he asked, and dozens of tiny hands shot up.
"When any of us went into the service we took a pledge," Thompson said.
All these years later he can still recite it: "I, Peter Thompson, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic."
"Who knows what the Constitution is?" Thompson asked, as dozens of tiny hands again shot up.
Our Constitution outlines the United States government and describes our rights and liberties, Thompson explained. He looked across his audience, split about evenly between boys and girls, and then blew their little minds.
"There are countries where women cannot drive a car, where they cannot go to school," Thompson said.
He explained that members of the U.S. military defend those rights.
"Reporters do not preserve freedom of the press, soldiers do. Poets do not preserve freedom of expression, soldiers do," Thompson said. "Soldiers preserve girls' rights to go to school and drive a car."
"Of the 315 million people in America, it takes about 1 percent, 2.5 million, to serve in the military and defend those rights," Thompson said.
A dozen veterans were at St. Clare's Thursday afternoon, part of an annual week-long observance of Veterans Day in local schools. Some were drafted, some volunteered.
Volunteering is better, said retired Maj. Mike Mathias, who was drafted out of high school in Grand Junction.
"I knew I was going," said Mathias, who served 20 years in the Army, including time in Vietnam and Indochina.
His military service helped him earn a college degree from Harvard, so it turned out OK, but the modern all-volunteer military is a better way of doing it, he said.
"Now you're a volunteer and that helps immensely," Mathias said.
The draft notice starts, "Greetings!" then hits you right in the guts, Mathias said.
"It basically says Uncle Sam needs you so don't make any big plans. We know where you are," Mathias told the students.
Mathias said many people dodged the draft by fleeing to Canada. Others went to such extremes to flunk their military physicals that they shot off a toe, or a cut off a trigger finger, or ate soap so their heart rate would skyrocket.
"Drafting people into the military is something from the past that no one will miss at all," Mathias said.
This was James Bogle's first Veterans Day observance in a school, and a child's question hit him right where all soldiers and sailors live: "How did you feel about fighting a war?"
"War brings about very deep feelings. First you're away from home and I left behind my wife and children. Then there's the job and you soon realize that it's harder than anything you've ever done before.
You're fighting for your country, sure. But you're also fighting for the people you're fighting with.
"My most intense feelings came from looking around at the guys I was fighting with and how much I loved those guys," Bogle said.
James Bogle volunteered for the Army. He recently retired and settled in the valley with his family after serving in the Middle East. He said he hopes a few of the kids consider serving their country.
And the circle remains unbroken.

STOCKTON – A 22-year-old man told police he was walking in Tobias Park around 12:15 a.m. when another man approached him, demanding that he empty his pockets.
When he refused, the assailant swung a knife at the victim, cutting his arm, according to a police report.

Granada High football standout Kyle Campiotti might be an even better wrestler.
Campiotti, a first-team all-East Bay Athletic League defensive back in the fall, took first place in the 160-pound division at the 12th annual Mat Classic on Jan. 5 at Granada. He was one of just two local individual champions, along with Dougherty Valley's Emanuel Anaim (191).
Granada's Angel Beltran was second at 145 pounds. The Matadors finished eighth as a team with 101 points.
Granada's first-year coach Greg Hazelhofer doesn't need any more convincing when it comes to Campiotti.
"He's looking unbelievable," Hazelhofer said of Campiotti, a three-sport athlete who also plays varsity baseball. "He works different sports all year round, but definitely came in here just looking amazing. He's looking real slick. He works really hard."
It took Campiotti, a team captain, about 10 days of wrestling practice to reclaim his mojo. His coach says he has "stuff you just can't teach people."
"He's really good on his feet and just unbelievable on top," Hazelhofer said. "I don't know anybody who's held him down for more than 15 seconds all year so far. He's just an unbelievable athlete and he brings a lot to the practice grounds."
Granada athletic director Clark Conover stepped down as the Matadors wrestling coach during the summer after 12 years at the helm.
He left some big shoes to fill.
"Yeah, yeah, tell me about it," Hazelhofer said. "But I think I got the best of both worlds, as Conover and I both had Steve Page as our head coach, and he's kind of a tough guy. ... Conover's a tough guy, and he's not too far away. He's kind of keeping en eye on things, but definitely big shoes to fill. But I'm not trying to fill 'em -- I'm trying to do my own thing."
In other wrestling news, Foothill's Jacob Nelson (145) went 7-0 at the 30th Valley of the Moon wrestling tournament at Sonoma Valley High, leading the Falcons to the team championship. During the two day tournament Nelson had four pins and improved to 18-5 for the season.
WIDE OPEN HOOPS: The East Bay Athletic League boys basketball race could be wild. With De La Salle favored to take first, although Amador Valley showed its mettle in a 45-43 loss to the visiting Spartans on Jan. 4, how the rest of the pack shakes out is anyone's guess. California shocked Monte Vista 45-41 on opening night of league play on Jan. 2, behind Shane Haley's 21 points and 11 rebounds, but the Grizzlies promptly lost to San Ramon Valley 55-50 on Jan. 4, while Mustangs rebounded with a 66-49 victory over improved Livermore.
The Cowboys are suffering from a bad case of the Third-Quarter Blues. They were outscored 19-9 by the Mustangs in the third quarter after being outscored 11-4 over the same stretch against visiting Amador Valley.
BRAINS AND MUSTANGS: Three recent Monte Vista graduates are enjoying success in the Ivy League: Brian Barbour (Columbia basketball), Niveen Rasheed (Princeton basketball), and Shaun Chaudhuri (Harvard tennis). Rasheed was named Ivy League Player of the Week on Jan. 7 for the second time this season, after a 22-point effort against Drexel on Dec. 31. Rasheed went 8-for-9 from the free throw line, had eight rebounds, three steals and two assists.
And there's another ex-Mustang on the way. Stanford backup quarterback Brett Nottingham recently announced he was transferring to Columbia. Nottingham's 502 career completions at Monte Vista ranks fourth all-time in Northern California prep history, and his 7,467 passing yards rank seventh.
NEW FIELDS: The San Jose Earthquakes are putting the new turf fields at Robertson Park in Livermore to good use. The Earthquakes are conducting a regional development program for boys and girls under-5 to under-11 teams. The fields are also home to the Earthquakes under-14 Pre-Academy tryouts.
Both programs are headed by Troy Dayak, a former Livermore High multisport star and Earthquakes Hall of Famer. West Coast Soccer players Dougie Wynne, Mateo Crivello, and Zachary Rittmann participate in the Earthquakes Regional Development School (RDS).

Fans of American roots music needn't wait until the summer for their next festival. Keystone's Winter Bluegrass Festival will feature an array of bluegrass (in the loosest sense of the word) and a community jam this weekend at Warren Station Center for the Arts.
This is Keystone's second annual festival, presented by the Dercum Center, a local nonprofit that brings artists, lecturers and performers to Summit County. This year's event will feature four Colorado bands (one from Summit County) over two nights. Each night will open with a community jam.
For Ben Brewer and his band, The Pine Beatles, this weekend's festival is more than just any concert. These days, the band - that came together unexpectedly one day during a casual jam session - is typically booked with weddings and private parties and rarely has an opportunity to play for the public.
"It's a lot of fun for us to play a festival on a stage for the public," Brewer said. "That doesn't happen very often - we can't wait. I think it's also a cool concept: Ski all day and then come to this cool concert. It makes for a really fun weekend."
The band has been working on a new set, with new material, especially for this weekend's show.
"If people out there have seen us play before, I guarantee they'll see us play songs we've never played before," Brewer said.
The Pine Beatles are scheduled to open for the Haunted Windchimes, of Pueblo, Saturday.
"I wouldn't call ourselves a bluegrass band per se, though we do draw inspiration from that," said Haunted Windchimes band leader, Inaiah Lujan. "When I think of bluegrass, I think of people wailing on banjos and mandolins. First and foremost, we're songwriters."
Tonight, the Mossgatherers, of Denver, open for the Lyons-based band Taarka.
"We hope in this concert, as in all we do as Mossgatherers, to positively scandalize and honor the octogenarian Norwegian-sweater set, mightily impress the goat-bearded lift-operator folkie purists, and rock the Sonic Youth/Beck/Lady Gaga kiddie fans with a one-string ukelele, a Ramones cover and a sparkly bluegrasstastic dream," said Erik Tieze, of the Mossgatherers.
Of all the bands, perhaps tonight's headliner Taarka fits the bluegrass mold the best. Taarka's music "blends bluegrass instrumentation and energy with gypsy jazz, Celtic, soul, classical and pop music," said Enion Pelta-Tiller, the band's fiddler. "A friend recently described us as sounding like a Colorado River in early spring, when the ice is just starting to melt and you can hear and see the water flowing underneath sheets of ice."
Two nights, four bands and two community jam sessions makes for a diverse mix of bluegrass sure to please die-hard fans and even the casual passerby.
"For me, it just kind of feels like going and playing in someone's living room," Lujan said of the ambiance of Keystone's Winter Bluegrass Festival. "It definitely feels warm and homey."

Women's Sertoma Club makes gifts to charities

The line is not always explicit, but it's always there -- the line, that is, between craft and art.
By "craft" I mean the ability to tell a story that draws in readers with character, plot and some substance. "Art," even in its most esoteric form, can delight without such bourgeois affectations, though the most successful forms of art, at least to me, are solidly based in a mastery of craft.
The books reviewed here fall largely into the category of craft. Primarily I am more consistently entertained by a well-constructed work of fiction than by attempts at art -- and "attempts" is the right word, because art is much more difficult and elusive than craft, and I find the written word reaches the level of art only intermittently, even in the strongest works.
Which brings us to "Sorry Please Thank You: Stories" by Charles Yu (Pantheon, $24.95, 222 pages), an attempt at art by the highly regarded (in critical circles at least) Yu. This story collection tends to focus on the relationship of character to author in a variety of ways, from imagining that a video game hero is a real person to characters talking back to authors.
Sometimes, as in "Hero Absorbs Major Damage" and "Inventory," Yu manages to merge art with craft, but at other times his labored attempts to lift his work into exalted realms simply fall flat. (One of those attempts, "Yeoman," is basically a shorter version of "Redshirts," a novel by John Scalzi, a master craftsman who gives the reader his money's worth more consistently than Yu.)
Of course, some readers are more patient with authors whose reach exceeds their grasp than I am, and they will likely be happy with "Sorry Please Thank You: Stories." I, on other hand, can't wait for George R. R. Martin's next installment in the Song of Ice and Fire series.
One next installment I won't be waiting for, or reading, is the sequel to "Touchstone" by Melanie Rawn (Tor, $25.99, 363 pages). First, there is no hint on the book jacket that "Touchstone" is first in a series, and that annoys me. A reader who plunks down her hard-earned cash for a book has every right to know that this is only the beginning of her investment if she wants the whole story arc. It looks as if Rawn will carry this through at least three books. So to me, Tor (or any other publisher) seems greedy when not letting prospective readers know up front they're about to buy just one part of a story.
Moreover, "Touchstone" just isn't that good. Rawn does employ a nice conceit -- that the magic of the theater is, in great part, actual magic. And her narrative about the rise of a magic-based theater troupe is adequate, though a bit heavy on gloom and doom even when things are going well. In fact, the gloom and doom never really let up, which is explained in part by the fact that this is the first in a series.
Lastly, there's a nice glossary, but it's placed at the end of the book; I had no idea it was there until I'd finished. Wouldn't it make sense to let readers know at the beginning?
While we're on the theme of series, the Solar System space opera concludes with "The Unincorporated Future" by Dani Kollin and Eytan Kollin (Tor, $27.99, 348 pages).
It's hard to pull off many surprises after three previous books, so it's no surprise that this segment doesn't break much new ground. The basic plot involves a battle between the evil dictator of Earth, Mars and Luna and the plucky colonists of the asteroids and beyond. Though the series began with an economic twist about how each individual was a corporation with stock values and shares, that theme has faded into the background, and the narrative now focuses on struggles in both the real and virtual worlds.
I wouldn't recommend buying all four of these books unless you really enjoy large-scale space battles in a basically good-vs.-evil setting. But this tetralogy was fun to read, and it delivers a reasonable bang for the bucks. Call my evaluation "maybe" on this one.

Spurrier on the verge of leading USC in coaching wins
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 12:38 a.m.
COLUMBIA — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier will likely match Paul "Bear" Bryant this weekend for most wins at two different Southeastern Conference schools.
Wofford (8-2) at USC (8-2)
When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: Williams-Brice Stadium
TV: Pay-per-view
Radio: Wofford (105.7 FM, 910 AM), USC (97.1 FM, 104.3 FM, 1400 AM)
Rankings: Wofford No. 9 in FCS, USC No. 12 in FBS
A victory against Wofford on Saturday will tie Spurrier with Rex Enright for the most wins by a Gamecocks coach with 64. Spurrier remains the winningest coach in Florida history with 122 victories. Bryant holds the records for most wins at Alabama (232) and at Kentucky (60).
Bryant and Spurrier rank 1-2 in several categories in the SEC record book.
Spurrier is second with 122 SEC victories, 37 behind Bryant. His six SEC titles are eight behind Bryant.
"I haven't thought about that. I'll let you do all those kind things," Spurrier said of the comparison.
The two have more in common than simply bringing distinct headgear to the sidelines, whether it is Bryant's houndstooth hat or Spurrier's visor.
Their careers are mirror images in some ways.
Kentucky was Bryant's first long term head coaching job. He took a team with no football tradition and led them to their first bowl in 1947 and one of only two SEC titles the school has ever won when the Wildcats captured the crown in 1950. He took over Alabama in 1958, boosting a program that continues to be successful today.
Spurrier immediately built Florida into an SEC powerhouse and sustained their dominance for 12 years. The school has stayed mostly at the top since he left.
"I was lucky to be there at the right time and the right place," Spurrier said of his time at Florida. "That is what coaching is all about — get somewhere at the right time, at the right place with some good players."
Spurrier arrived at South Carolina before the 2005 season.
He promised when he was introduced to Gamecocks fans that he would take over the win record one day, but said Tuesday he just wanted to assure fans he would be in Columbia a long time. He hasn't achieved his main goal of leading South Carolina to its first SEC title, but he feels like the pieces are in place.
The school's lack of football success still motivates him Spurrier.
"We're in the South and the tradition was not all that great, was not all that super. Nowhere to go but up. I like those situations," Spurrier said. "A whole bunch of firsts we can achieve at South Carolina."
With a win Saturday, Spurrier will reach 64 wins in 101 games and eight seasons. It took Enright 15 years and 140 games to record that many wins.
Ray Perkins played for Bryant the same time Spurrier was quarterback at Florida and later succeeded Bryant when he retired at Alabama. He said comparing the two coaches misses the point because football is so much different these days.
"I know there is nobody like coach Bryant," said Perkins, who is coaching Jones County Junior College in Mississippi. "I don't think anybody's like coach Spurrier."
Bryant and Spurrier never met as head coaches.
Spurrier took over at Duke in 1987, nearly five years after Bryant's death. But they did meet once when Bryant was coach and Spurrier a player. Alabama beat Florida 17-14 in Tuscaloosa in 1964.
"I got my teeth knocked out in that game. That's what I remember," Spurrier said, recounting how a Crimson Tide defender caught him right under the chin back when players didn't wear mouthpieces. "Spit it out and kept on playing. I left a tooth on the field there at Denny-Bryant."

As a precursor to the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes -- handed out by a group of around 90 foreign journalists working in Hollywood -- have always been imperfect with a history of weird winners and even stranger nominations.
But over the years, coming as it does during the voting by Academy members, it has emerged as a great platform for films and actors seeking Oscar recognition. This year, though, the Globe nominations seem to fall largely in line with the emerging Oscar picture: the top nominees are pretty well set and the chances for dark horses are rapidly shrinking.
Alone among the major pre-Oscar awards, the Golden Globes split the best picture category into drama and comedy/musical so there is more of a chance for an offbeat comedy to slip in as a nominee. Which probably explains how "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen," a decent enough film seen by very few people, got three nominations including one for best comedy/musical.
But both fields were dominated by sure-bet Oscar nominees: "Argo," "Lincoln," "Life of Pi" and "Zero Dark Thirty" for drama and "Les Miserables," and "Silver Linings Playbook" for best comedy/musical. "Moonrise Kingdom," also a good bet for a best picture nom in the Oscar race, was another nominee in the comedy/musical field.
The film getting the biggest boost was Quentin Tarantino's violent western "Django Unchained." It was very late in screening for critics and Academy voters and had been noticeably absent from early awards. But it got five nominations: best drama, best director, best screenplay and two for best supporting actor (Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz). "Django Unchained" looks to be a real player in the Oscar race.
Also getting a nudge from the Globe voters was "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" which got nominations for best comedy/musical and best actress (Judi Dench). "Hotel," a surprise hit in the late spring, had not been part of the Oscar conversation until it suddenly got some serious love in the SAG nominations. Now, it looks like a possible dark horse for at least some noms.
Among the actors nominated, the one getting the biggest bump was probably Nicole Kidman for "The Paperboy." She came out of nowhere to get a SAG nomination for best supporting actress and got one from the Globes as well.
Helen Mirren, a late player in the best actress field, got another shove with a nomination for her role in "Hitchcock." She also got a SAG nomination, giving her real momentum.
There were some films and acting Oscar hopefuls that could have used a boost and didn't get one. "The Impossible" and "Flight" didn't make the cut for best drama although they were up against a tough field. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" got no love, not even for its nine-year-old star Quvenzhane Wallis.
Michael Haneke's "Amour" got a best foreign film nomination but nothing in the major categories, not even for the highly-praised performance by 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva who had been expected to get a best actress nomination in the Globes. (Rachel Weisz unexpectedly sneaked into the field for her performance in "The Deep Blue Sea.")

BMS enters deal with Santharis
17.04.2013 - Danish Santaris Pharma A/S has entered a global strategic R&D collaboration with BristolMyers Squibb in the field of RNA drugs.
Santaris said it will use its Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) platform to discover and develop new mRNA or microRNA drug candidates. Under the terms of the agreement, the Horsholm-based company will get US$10 upfront and up to US$90m of milestone payments. Furthermore, the drug developer will be eliglible to receive royalties on worldwide sales araising from the alliance.
In successful cases, BMS will gain the exclusive global marketing rights. Further financial details were not disclosed by the companies. Santaris Pharma's LNA platform A/S combines the company's proprietary LNA chemistry with its highly specialised and targeted drug development capabilities to rapidly deliver LNA-based drug candidates against RNA targets, both mRNA and microRNA, for a range of diseases including infectious and inflammatory diseases, cardiometabolic disorders, cancer and rare genetic disorders.
RNA-based drugs are a promising new class of therapeutics that are enabling scientists to develop drug candidates that target previously inaccessible clinical pathways. The LNA Drug Platform overcomes the limitations of earlier antisense and siRNA technologies to deliver potent single-stranded LNA-based drug candidates across a multitude of disease states
The network will advise SMEs on how to get financial support for projects at a pilot plant in Ghent. This flexible pilot plant will selectively invest in equipment for promising technologies to promote further growth. The partnership will also develop and deliver programmes and tools for training skilled professionals for bio-based industries.

A game that started nearly 21 hours after it was originally scheduled was worth the wait for Marietta College fans, as the Pioneers claimed victory in a thrilling 11-10, 13-inning slugfest to stay alive in the 2013 Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament.
Marietta would later lose to Otterbein 10-8 to be eliminated from the tourney.
After a clean 12th inning for both clubs, the wheels fell off for the Pioneers.
Article Photos
JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Marietta College's Bryan Gregorich fields a groundball in the third inning of an OAC Tournament game against John Carroll Saturday at Don Schaly Stadium.
John Carroll's Jimmy Spagna led off the top of the 13th with a double to center. Pitching his seventh inning of relief, Evan Brockmeier got next batter Aaron Miller to ground out to short, keeping Spagna at second, but then Tyler Gentile bounced a 1-1 pitch through the left side, bringing home Spagna for the potential winning run. Gentile went to second on the throw home, which allowed Ryan Konsler's single to send him home and make it a two-run game. Connor Marrero followed by grounding to third, but a pair of throwing errors allowed Konsler to come around and score, making it 10-7.
It appeared Marietta was going to go two-and-out in the OAC tourney.
But just as the wheels came off for the Pios, they did so in a much more painful fashion for John Carroll the next half inning.

After Brockmeier walked to lead off the bottom of the 13th, Chris Winpigler doubled to left-center to put two runners in scoring position with no outs, prompting the Blue Streaks to pull reliever Zach Verner in favor of Kevin Rosinski. Rosinski got Alex Toth to ground out to first, scoring Brockmeier. Mitch Geers made it a one-run game with an RBI-single back up the middle, plating Winpigler and making it a 10-9 game. Hopper followed by bouncing a ball up the middle just out of the reach of Mitch Herringshaw at shortstop, sending Geers to third with one out.
What followed was the deciding play in one the craziest contests ever played at Schaly Stadium.
Ryan Hanahan, who came in as a defensive replacement earlier in the game, hit a base knock to right to score the tying run. In an effort to cut down Hopper trying to go to third, the throw got past the third baseman and allowed Hopper to score the game-winning run.
Hopper was mobbed at the netting behind home plate as the Pioneers kept their OAC Tournament championship hopes alive for the time being.
Brockmeier was credited with the mound victory, going 7.2 innings of relief, giving up six hits and four runs (two earned).
"We know Brock is Brock," said Marietta head coach Brian Brewer after the loss to Otterbein. "He's gonna give us two innings or six innings, whatever we need."
Kevin Rosinski, the victim of poor fielding, took the loss, retiring just one batter.
Both starters lasted just 4.1 innings. Marietta's Mike Mulvey gave up eight hits and allowed three runs (two earned) while John Carroll's Andrew Doring gave up five earned runs on seven hits.
Mulvey got into some early trouble. After plunking leadoff hitter Joe Veltri, Mulvey drew back-to-back line outs to center fielder Aaron Hopper before Jimmy Spagna singled through the left side and Aaron Miller worked a walk to load the bases. Mulvey bore down, getting Chet Lauer to hit a lazy fly ball to right fielder Tim McCoy to escape unscathed.
The Pioneers were able to get on the scoreboard just two batters into the contest against Doring.
Jordan Grilliot led off with a triple to deep right-center field and promptly scored on Brockmeier's sharp single to right.
They were not done, as Winpigler reached after being hit and Toth got on via an error to fill the bases. Geers then pulled a base hit past the shortstop to plate Brockmeier and Winpigler, still with no outs. After Hopper bunted the runners over, Doring got a big punch-out of McCoy for the second out, giving himself a chance to get out of the inning with no further damage.
However, eight-hole hitter Bryan Gregorich sent a first-pitch fastball right back up the middle, bringing home Toth and Geers to make it a 5-0 game.
Mulvey got into a jam again in the top of the second. Konsler and Marrero notched consecutive one-out singles, but Marietta's senior hurler induced a fly out to Hopper and a lineout to Gregorich at third to keep JCU scoreless.
The Streaks finally got the big hit they had been missing in the third when Miller mashed a home run to deep left. Unfortunately for John Carroll, the bases were empty, making it a 5-1 game.
The Blue Streaks put another dent in the Pios' lead in the fifth. After Herringshaw reached on an error, Spagna turned on a Mulvey offering and poked it just over the left field fence to make the score 5-3.
A single to right by Miller and a double to left-center by Lauer put the tying runs in scoring position for seven-hole hitter Mark Huddle, who drew a walk to load the bases.
MC elected to go to the bullpen, putting right-hander Mike Fulton on the Hill to face Konsler, who already had a pair of hits in the game.
Fulton struck out Konsler on three straight pitches for the second out and then got Marrero to fly out to McCoy to slam the door on the Blue Streaks' rally.
The Etta Express got a pair back in the bottom of the fifth. Geers walked with one out before Hopper singled to left. Geers came around to score on McCoy's double to right. Hopper was held at third, but McCoy rounded second and got halfway to third before stopping. Marrero's throw to third sailed over everyone, allowing Hopper to score and McCoy to get to third, making it 7-3.
Back-to-back doubles off the bats of Veltri and Bobby Sabatino to start the sixth cut it to a three-run game. Herringshaw then blooped a single just over Geers at first to put runners at the corners with no outs.
Spagna grounded into a fielder's choice to bring home Sabatino before Miller doubled to the warning track in left-center to plate Herringshaw, making it 7-6. That was it for Fulton, who was replaced by Brockmeier on the mound. Brockmeier retired the next two batters to preserve Marietta's lead.
Marietta got a base runner in its half of the sixth when Brockmeier drew a base on balls against reliever Aaron Lapaglia, but Brockmeier was caught stealing on the next pitch.
That play proved to be crucial, as next batter Winpigler singled to right. As it was, Lapaglia got Toth to fly out to right to end the frame.
After Brockmeier worked a six-pitch, 1-2-3 seventh inning, Sabatino laced a single to right on the first pitch of the eighth inning before the next three batters were retired to preserve Marietta's 7-6 advantage.
MC tried to play add-on in the bottom of the eighth. Zak Bukiewicz reached on an error with one out and then went to third on Grilliot's single up the middle. Brockmeier then grounded sharply to Huddle at short who, after momentarily bobbling the ball, stepped on second and fired to first to get Brockmeier by half a step to end the inning.
Lauer led off the ninth inning with a ground ball single to right. After pinch hitter Robby Cifelli sac bunted, Konsler was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second. Marrero then hit a one-hopper back to the Brockmeier, whose throw pulled shortstop Christian Demko off the bag to load the bases with one down. Veltri then lined a fly ball at Geers in left, who made a diving catch, but Lauer made it home safely to tie the game at 7-all. An appeal was made that Lauer left early, but to no avail.
With the game tied up at 7-7 in the bottom of the ninth, Chris Winpigler led off by blistering a single to center field off Verner. After Alex Toth bunted him to second, Verner got Geers to fly out to center for the second out.
After Aaron Hopper worked a 10-pitch walk, pinch-hitter Josh Ungerbuehler pop flied to right field to end the threat and send the game into extras.
Each team escaped danger at some point in the 10th through 12th innings, before the 13th inning madness ensued.
After falling to Otterbein, Marietta now will wait to see if it will get an at-large bid in the Mideast Regional Tournament. John Carroll's season ended at 25-16.
"The kids showed a lot of heart and a lot of character," said JCU skipper Mark Thibeault. "They did a great job. I told them to leave it on the field and they did. I couldn't ask anything more out of them."
