(a) The Institute for Historical Review
1. Irving's connections and relationships with well-known Holocaust deniers are numerous and often close. They indicate that he is part of a loosely-organized international network of Holocaust deniers, whose central institution is the so-called Institute for Historical Review. Many of Irving's contacts with Holocaust deniers are also part of his widespread connections in the world of extreme right-wing politics; these are detailed in the expert reports submitted by Professor Eatwell and Professor Funke. Here is it proposed to deal only with a limited number of contacts, sufficient to establish the fact that Irving does indeed have extensive contacts with Holocaust deniers, far more so, indeed, than with professional historians, whether or not the latter are based in universities. It is also clear that he make a great deal more use of the work of Holocaust deniers, whether acknowledged or not, in his own writings, than he does of the use of competent professional historians, which, as this Report has already shown, he openly admits he does not read. Irving, in short, is part of the world of Holocaust denial; he is not part of the world of competent, serious professional history.
2. The so-called Institute for Historical Review, based in California, is the subject of Chapter 8 of Lipstadt's book Denying the Holocaust. It holds regular conferences and issues a journal which is available for perusal in libraries. An examination of the journal and of reports of its conferences indicates that the Institute is dedicated to putting the case for Nazi Germany and against what it regards as the 'myth' of the Nazis' extermination of millions of Jews in the Second World War. At its first convention, held in Los Angeles in 1979, the Institute passed a resolution declaring inter alia that 'the facts surrounding the allegations that gas chambers existed in occupied Europe during World War II are demonstrably false', and stating its belief that 'the whole theory of "the holocaust" has been created by and promulgated by political Zionism for the attainment of political and economic ends, specifically the continued and perpetual support of the military aggression of Israel by the people of Germany and the US'. The resolution urged the US Congress to investigate, among other things, 'deceitful wartime propaganda masquerading as fact...and the truth of the alleged extermination of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II.'1
3. The Institute for Historical Review purports to be a respectable academic body. In 1980, the Institute began publishing a quarterly magazine, the Journal of Historical Review, which cast itself in the form of a respectable academic journal. The Editorial Advisory Committee of the Journal includes all the most prominent Holocaust deniers, most notably Arthur R. Butz, Robert Faurisson and Wilhelm Staeglich. Butz's book The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, published in 1976, constituted the first attempt to present Holocaust denial in a pseudo-academic form: its eight chapters are adorned with 450 footnotes, 5 appendices and 32 plates and diagrams and it looks at first glance like an academic treatise. The book argues, inter alia, that the Allied bombing of Dresden produced more corpses than have ever been found from the camps, that Zyklon-B gas was used just as an insecticide, that Auschwitz was just an industrial plant, that deaths there were mainly due to typhus, and that there were no gassings there. In Butz's view, when the Nazis talked or wrote about Judentum they meant the destruction of Jewish power, not of Jewish human beings, and when they used the word Vernichtung or Ausrottung in this context they did not mean actual killing. He alleged that the failure of the Yad Vashem memorial to the Holocaust, in Jerusalem, to collect six million names of those who had died, proved that the number of dead was far fewer than six million. The Nuremberg trials were a 'frame-up' in Butz's view, and the 'myth' of the Holocaust was propagated after the war by the Jews for their own advantage. In order to find out the truth, Butz concludes, 'all one needs to do is consult the relevant German documents. What the German leaders were saying to each other about their policy is obviously the first authority that one should consult.'2 A number of these arguments and methods were taken up later by Irving and presented as if they were his own discoveries.3
4. Robert Faurisson, another leading figure at the Institute and member of the editorial board of The Journal of Historical Review, is a former teacher of French literature who has argued over many years that Anne Frank's diary is a forgery, and that 'the alleged massacres in the "gas chambers" and the alleged "genocide" are part of the same lie' which 'is essentially Zionist in origin' and 'has allowed a huge political and financial swindle of which the state of Israel is the principal beneficiary'. Faurisson has concentrated in particular on attempting to prove that the gas chambers at Auschwitz and in other camps never existed and never came into operation. Faurisson testified to this effect as an expert witness in the first Canadian trial of Ernst Zündel. By this time, however, Faurisson himself had been tried in his native France for slander, violation of Article 382 of the Civil Code by wilfully distorting history, and incitement to racial hatred, which had been outlawed under a law of 1972, and been found guilty on all three counts.4 He has since been one of the most vocal and extreme of Holocaust deniers at the conferences of the Institute for Historical Review, and a frequent contributor to its journal. His arguments too have been adopted by Irving and presented without acknowledgment as his own original discoveries. Irving has praised Faurisson as 'a very distinguished intellectual in my mind, a very brave man indeed.'5
5. A third key figure on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal from its early days was Wilhelm Staeglich, an academically qualified German lawyer whose book Der Auschwitz-Mythos: Legende oder Wirklichkeit (The Auschwitz Myth: Legend or Reality), published in 1979 by the far-right Grabert-Verlag in Germany, followed Butz in presenting Holocaust denial in a pseudo-academic form. The book argued that there had been no mass extermination of Jews in Nazi extermination camps, and that guilty verdicts in postwar trials of the perpetrators were wrong. Staeglich used minor discrepancies in postwar documents and reports of the extermination to dismiss all such documents as forgeries and falsifications. At the same time, he made claims which could easily be falsified on the basis of contemporary documentation, for example, that before the outbreak of the Second World War, no Jew had ever been incarcerated in a German concentration camp on racial grounds. In this instance he simply passed over the imprisonment of more than twenty thousand Jewish men in concentration camps after the pogrom of 9-10 November, 1938, just as he ignored many other key documents relating to Nazi antisemitism. All the so-called evidence for the Holocaust, he maintained, had been fabricated after the war. As a result of this book Staeglich was dismissed from state employment and his doctoral title was withdrawn by his university, events about which he showed considerable bitterness when he subsequently came to address the Institute of Historical Review.6 Although he had previously criticised Staeglich for not doing enough research,7 Irving still appeared on the same platform as him at a meeting in Munich on 23 March 1991.8
6. With men such as Faurisson, Butz and Staeglich on the editorial board, it is hardly surprising that leading writers for The Journal of Historical Review have included other prominent Holocaust deniers such as Austin J. App, author of The Six Million Swindle: Blackmailing the German People for Hard Marks with Fabricated Corpses (Tacoma Park, Maryland, 1973) and a contributor to the first issue of The Journal of Historical Review with an article estimating the total number of Jewish casualties of the 'Third Reich' at around 300,000, and declaring the 'six million' to be 'an impudent lie'. Born in 1902, App was for a time President of the Federation of American Citizens of German Descent, and in 1942 he campaigned in the USA in support of Nazi war aims. In the early years after the war, he defended the Nazi mass murder of the Jews and similar atrocities as legitimate acts of war, minimized the numbers of victims, and denied the existence of gas chambers. In his book, he argued, in terms familiar from other Holocaust deniers, that the 'fraudulent six million casualty' figure for Jewish deaths at the hands of the Nazis was used 'vindictively as an external club for pressuring indemnities out of West Germany and for wringing financial contributions out of American Jews'. He alleged that at least 500,000 of the Jews supposedly gassed in the camps had gone to Israel. The perpetuation of the 'swindle' was due to Jewish domination of the media. The Americans and the British and above all the Soviet Union colluded in the deception in order to distract attention from their own war crimes.9
7. Other articles in the Journal of Historical Review have revealed their Holocaust denial content in titles such as 'The Diesel Gas Chambers: Myth Within a Myth',10 'The Myth of the Extermination of the Jews',11 'How Many Jews Died in the German Concentration Camps?' (the author's answer was between 300,000 and 600,000), and so on.12 Bolstered by contributions from Holocaust deniers such as App, Butz and Faurisson, the overall thrust of the journal's efforts is to present a wide variety of arguments in support of the thesis that, to quote one article among many, 'the Holocaust story is absurd'.13 Thus for example it has devoted a special issue to an attempt to vindicate the Leuchter Report,14 carried an article with the title 'Neither Trace Nor Proof: The Seven Auschwitz "Gassing" Sites',15 and devoted several issues and numerous articles to attempting to demonstrate that nobody was ever gassed at Auschwitz.16 Another article in the Journal underlined Holocaust deniers' tendency to inflate the influence of Jews in the postwar world by claiming that 'Judaism, through the "Holocaust" cult, has become the informal state religion of the West'.17 The centrality of Holocaust denial to the Institute for Historical Review and its journal cannot be doubted.
8. Irving says in his reply to Lipstadt's defence that the Institute is a respectable and non-extremist institution whose Board members hold established academic qualifications; they are not antisemites or racists or ultra-right-wing. However, such academic qualifications as they have are not in history but in other fields. Butz is an engineer; Faurisson a specialist in French literature, Staeglich qualified as a lawyer, and so on. None of them is an established professional historian, academic or otherwise. The same is true of the Journal of Historical Review. The contributions to the journal are often, though not always, academic in format, with footnotes and references; but there is no other example of a learned journal which claims to print academic articles in a specialized field which include on its editorial board barely a single academically accredited specialist in the field with which it concerns itself.
9. Moreover, the Journal and its parent institute have a political rather than an academic background. They were founded and owned by the Noontide Press, whose proprietor, the Legion for the Survival of Freedom Inc., was owned by Willis Allison Carto, a leading proponent of Holocaust denial. He is a former organizer of the John Birch Society, an American neo-fascist political group dedicated to the revival of Nazism and the promotion of white supremacy. Carto's main publication was, and is, the extreme right-wing journal Spotlight, described by Irving in 1982 as an 'excellent' publication. Irving was already familiar with Carto and his 'efficient and dedicated staff' by the early 1980s and was well aware of what he publicly referred to as 'the ties that exist between the Liberty Lobby and the Institute of Historical Review'. 18
10. The booking for the Institute's opening convention in September 1979 was made by Noontide Press, under the name of Lewis Brandon, a pseudonym for David McCalden, formerly a leading light of the National Party, an extreme racist breakaway from the extreme right-wing political organization the British National Front, founded in 1975.19 McCalden, who also wrote under the name David Berg, was director of the Institute for Historical Review from 1978 until 1981 and a self-confessed 'racialist'.20 The antisemitic and neo-fascist politics of the leading Holocaust denier and Journal Board member Arthur Butz are also well known and have been thoroughly documented.21
11. The Journal regularly purveys the politics of right-wing extremism and carries articles attacking 'multiculturalism', criticising the launching of the Gulf War against Saddam Hussein, arguing that Soviet Communism was a Jewish creation and that Jews were responsible for its murderous career, and praising the Iranian Revolution which overthrew the Shah in 1978. A lengthy article by the long-lived wartime Belgian fascist leader Léon Degrelle who lost none of his Nazi convictions in the postwar decades, praised Hitler as a radical social reformer who achieved dictatorial power by non-violent means.22 Its hostility to Israel is strongly echoed in Irving's speeches, as this Report has already documented.
12. In 1992-93 the Journal and the Institute came under pressure from Willis Carto, its principal financial backer, to abandon its scholarly pretensions and become a more openly political forum for the propagation of racism. In January 1993 the Journal dropped its academic format and since then has been published as a bi-monthly illustrated glossy magazine. Its contents and its basic thrust, however, have not changed.23 Tom Marcellus, Mark Weber and other members of the staff quarrelled with Carto over this issue, and in September 1993 they broke off all contact with him. In February 1994 they secured and circulated endorsements of their line from six leading Holocaust deniers: Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zündel, Bradley R. Smith, James J. Martin, Arthur J. Butz, and David Irving. Irving's endorsement praised the Journal as 'sincere, balanced, objective, and devoid of polemics' and its editors and staff as 'staunch and unflinching soldiers in what our brave comrade Robert Faurisson has called "this great adventure", meaning of course the 'adventure' of Holocaust denial.24
13. Carto not only fired back in his magazine Spotlight the accusation that the Institute had been taken over by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League - a charge to which, not surprisingly, some of those who supported the existing line of the Institute and its journal strongly objected - but evidently also withdrew his financial backing, for in 1995 the Institute and the Journal were forced to admit that they were in financial difficulties because of what the Journal editors Mark Weber and Greg Raven called 'the massive theft of IHR money by former associates'.25 However, the journal did not go under. It has continued since then to publish articles mainly devoted to advocating Holocaust denial.
14. Like many individual Holocaust deniers, the Institute as a body denies that it is involved in Holocaust denial, calling this a 'smear' which is 'completely at variance with the facts' because 'revisionst scholars' such as Faurisson, Butz 'and bestselling British historian David Irving acknowledge that hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed and otherwise perished during the Second World War as direct and indirect result of the harsh anti-Jewish policies of Germany and its allies'. But as we have seen, the concession that a relatively small number of Jews were killed is routinely used by Holocaust deniers to distract attention from the far more important fact of their refusal to admit that the figure ran into millions, and that a large proportion of these victims were systematically murdered by gassing as well as by shooting.
15. Irving has denied that he is affiliated to the Institute in any formal capacity, and this is strictly speaking true. He is a member neither of its Board nor of the Editorial Advisory Board of its Journal. However, as we have already seen, his informal connections with the Institute and the Journal are extremely close and have been maintained over a considerable period of time. Irving's website, for example, advertises the 1991 edition of his book Hitler's War as being obtainable through the Institute. He has been a frequent visitor to the annual conferences organized by the Institute for Historical Review, which are devoted to lectures purveying various aspects of Holocaust denial. To date he has spoken to audiences at the Institute five times; his speeches, like other contributions to the Institute's conferences, are printed in The Journal of Historical Review. He spoke at the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelth conferences in succession. It was hardly surprising that in 1993 the editor of the Journal described him as 'a good friend of the Institute'.26 There were articles about Irving in the fourth and sixth issues of Volume 13 of the Journal. Irving printed an advance copy of his introduction to the 1991 edition of Hitler's War in the Journal, alongside a reassessment of Rommel and a scurrilous attack on Sir Winston Churchill ('almost a pervert - a man who liked to expose himself to people'). The first issue of Volume 13 included one article by Irving and two others about him. The next issue had another article by Irving, and he also printed two more articles in the first issue of Volume 15. Before he established his website on the Internet, it would not be going too far to describe the Journal as the principal forum in which Irving disseminated any historical work of his that was shorter than book-length but longer than a newspaper letter or article. This was certainly the case at the time when Lipstadt completed her book in 1993.27
16. Irving has gladly continued to lend his support to the efforts of The Journal of Historical Review to win more subscribers. A leaflet advertising the journal carries a photograph of Irving and quotes him as follows: 'The Journal of Historical Review has an astounding record of fearlessly shattering the icons of those vested interests who hate and fear truth. That is why I strongly endorse it...and suggest that every intelligent man and woman in America, Britain, and the dominions subscribe.'28 In the January-February issue of Volume 13 of the Journal, a full-page spread is headed: 'David Irving: Institute for Historical Review: Your Source for David Irving's Masterworks'. After listing and describing five of his books and picturing the cover of each, the advertisement enjoins readers to 'Order these fine books from Institute for Historical Review', and gives the address.29 Irving has close relations with leading figures at the Institute and includes correspondence with them in his Discovery.30
17. In his reply to the defence, Irving maintains that lecturing at the conferences of the Institute for Historical Review does not associate him with Holocaust denial. He points out that other lecturers have included not just Holocaust deniers but writers not concerned with this field at all, such as the Canadian journalist James Bacque, whom Irving described in 1991 as 'a very good friend of mine'.31 This is true only if taken literally. James Bacque gained a brief notoriety in the late 1980s and early 1990s not for Holocaust denial, in which he had never been directl involved, but for his book, Other Losses: An Investigation into the Mass Deaths of German Prisoners of War at the Hands of the French and Americans After World War II, published in 1979. This publication alleged that the Americans under General Eisenhower deliberately starved to death over a million German prisoners at the end of the Second World War - a thesis which made its author an obvious person to invite to a conference of Holocaust deniers, given their need to establish that Allied war crimes were as bad as, or worse than, German war crimes. In fact, the book, which gained some credence on its publication through the appearance of careful archival research, has since been exposed as a tissue of errors and falsehoods and has as little historical credibility as Holocaust denial itself.32
18. A more recent book by James Bacque has claimed that the American occupation authorities deliberately starved to death as many as nine million German civilians after the end of the Second World War. Bacque's work has been described as33
part of the trend toward a "paranoid style" in writing recent history. This style is characterized by five elements: the image of a huge conspiracy, a self-bestowed duty to save civilization from apocalypse, a manichean worldview of absolute good versus absolute evil, the conviction that traitors make history, and the amassing of evidence to prove a preconceived thesis.
19. Bacque's work has been shown to rest on the manipulation of statistics, in which the population of Germany in 1946 is inflated through double-counting and projected to reach 74 million by 1950, when a census showed an actual figure some 6 million short of this (imaginary) number; Bacque's conclusion that these 'missing' six million were murdered by the Americans is pure fantasy. His work, in other words, bears a striking resemblance to the pseudo-history of the Holocaust deniers, which is no doubt why he has been welcome at their meetings.34 Both Bacque and Irving spoke at a meeting organized by the right-wing Canadian group 'Alternative Forum' in the early 1990s, and Bacque acknowledged Irving's useful advice in his work.35 Examined carefully, all the other speakers at the Institute's conferences turn out, like Bacque, to be putting forward arguments which, if not directly denying the Nazi extermination of the Jews, are of obvious usefulness to the broader purposes of those who do, for example through the relativization of the mass murder committed by the Nazis by claiming that the Western Allies were engaged in the same kind of thing, or worse.
20. Irving also points out that he has had disputes with well-known 'Revisionists' like Robert Faurisson, and so by implication is not one of them. It is certainly the case that Irving has had his disagreements with Faurisson in particular. In 1983, for instance, he devoted the final part of a rambling speech delivered to the Institute's annual conference to 'the so-called Holocaust'. He told the assembled 'revisionists':36
I am sure you realize that I take a slightly different line from several people here. I would specify as follows: I would say I am satisfied in my own mind that in various locations Nazi criminals, acting probably without direct orders from above, did carry out liquidations of groups of people including Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, mentally incurable people and the rest. I am quite plain about that in my own mind. I can't prove it, I haven't gone into that. I haven't investigated that particular aspect of history but from the documents I have seen, I've got the kind of gut feeling which suggests to me that that is probably accurate.
21. Responding to Irving later, Robert Faurisson issued a 'challenge' on this point. What use, he asked, was a 'gut feeling' in the absence, as he maintained, of evidence for 'the alleged physical extermination of the Jews', a subject which Irving himself admitted he had not researched?37 He had a point. Given Irving's insistence on the need to provide documentary evidence for everything, his affirmation of 'liquidations' which most of his audience undoubtedly denied, was far from convincing.
22. But the disagreement proves nothing. This was Irving's first speech to the Institute, and it was delivered at a time - 1983 - when, this Report has demonstrated, he had yet to become a fully-fledged Holocaust denier; that only happened five years later, at the end of the 1980s. In 1983, Irving's speeches and writings showed a general if sometimes vague or qualified acceptance of all the central elements of the conventional definition of the Holocaust apart from the systematic nature of the mass murder. Thus his 1983 speech to the Institute for Historical Review is remarkable mainly for the manner in which it pandered to his audience by qualifying this acceptance with references to his lack of expert knowledge of the subject. The previous year, indeed, he had told the Institute's principal financial backer Willis Carto that the Holocaust was an issue 'of purely academic interest to historians, and of no relevance whatever to modern European, let alone British, problems'. It was, he had said, 'a red herring' with which the right had been 'tricked into poisoning their own operations'.38 He did not explicitly reject Holocaust denial, but he clearly did think it was politically inexpedient at this time, and he still gave at least some credence in the books he wrote at this time, such as the 1977 edition of Hitler's War, to some aspects of the Holocaust as conventionally understood.
23. By the early 1990s, Irving's and Faurisson's positions had converged, they were agreeing on the essentials, and they were only disputing minor points of disagreement within the Holocaust denial theses.39 Indeed, one authority on Holocaust denial, in the context of discussing Irving's connections with the Institute and the deniers, even went so far in the early 1990s as to claim that 'Irving... has placed himself at the head of the "Revisionists"'.40 In 1995 Irving referred to himself as part of this wider movement, 'people like myself and the brave band of scientists, and writers, and journalists, and historians who have gradually fallen in. I won't say they've fallen in behind me because I'm not going to try and place myself at the head of this revisionist movement. They've fallen in shoulder-to-shoulder with us and are marching at our side in this extraordinarily interesting adventure'.41 By the middle of the 1990s Irving was talking to members of the Institute for Historical Review in terms of 'we revisionists'.42 In all of their work, those associated with the Institute have sought to avoid being labelled Holocaust deniers by describing themselves as 'revisionists', and Irving's appropriation of this label to himself, and his association of his work with theirs, clearly indicated that he regarded himself as one of their number. The close connection between Irving and the Institute can no more be reasonably denied than can the fact that the principal business of the Institute and its journal is, as it has been from the day of its foundation, the denial of the Holocaust as it is conventionally understood.

The London-bred five-piece band Citizens!, has been compared to Franz Ferdinand. In fact the producer behind the band's music, Alex Kapranos, also worked with Franz Ferdinand as well as David Bowie. But Citizens! have worked hard to cultivate their own, unique sound. Their debut album, "Here We Are," was released in May of 2012, with several songs on it garnering huge critical acclaim – notably, poppy number "True Romance," which is difficult not to dance to. They're touring North America right now, and I had a chat with vocalist Tom Burke while they were in Boston on March 5th playing Brighton Music Hall. You can check their tour schedule here.
Deena Alexander: We can start off with some basics: how did you get together? The internet has told me some interesting things – you hatched a plan to become the greatest pop band in the world?
Tom Burke (vocals): We're all from about the same part of London. We kind of knew each other going back to one particular night, when the band started – we were at a party, and everyone was trying to put different songs on the stereo – someone was trying to play Kanye West, who we really appreciate. It turned into this drunken intellectual debate about the nature of pop music –is it Madonna, does it sound like a particular thing, is it a spirit? So we decided to become a pop band.
Thom Rhoades (guitar and vocals): If you're going to have a dream, might as well make it big.
DA: What inspires you to make music? Are all the songs on your album inspired by different things?
TR: I like things when I'm writing anything I'm spurred on by things that I find. I don't like being very heartfelt and turgid – good thing about a pop band, it has to have positive energy, it has to make you laugh. Funny things inspire me.
TB: He watches LOLcat videos.
TR: Just so I don't have to think about how terrible my life is. I like funny stuff.
TB: For me, swimming. I lived near a really nice outdoor pool. I used to go swimming every morning, and while I was doing my lengths I had ideas.
DA: What was the first instrument each of you learned? Do you know multiple instruments?
TB: I played clarinet and then piano. I never did very well at either since I hate the whole being-told-by-your-parents thing. It seemed like grades and schoolwork. Mike [Evans] can play absolutely everything. He's very good at French horn. Lawrence [Diamond] is pretty good with the kalimba.
DA: What song was your favorite to record and what song is your favorite overall?
TB: There's a couple – I mean, it's not qualitative, it's not that some are better than others. I have particularly good memories of recording "True Romance." I can so clearly remember being up in a little room – in the place I was living at the time – and it was one of the first songs we did and I had no conception that anyone would want to listen to it. Thousands of people singing it back or twenty people, it's all the same, I just never thought that would happen. "Know Yourself" was something like 170bpm – we had the arrangement completely wrong. Alex [Kapranos] used to do a lot of cooking while we were recording, and on Sunday we had a big Moroccan casserole and some bottles of red wine and had a fire in the studio and listened to a lot of Kumbaya, early Kumbaya, so that's why it has that sort of sound to it, that rolling sound.
DA: How do you like the states so far?
TB: Yeah, it's kind of a dream. We went to NY a couple of times last year, LA and San Francisco, and that's all we've ever seen of the States… so, to come now and do this big tour is really cool. We're in a van – it's really nice, just the five of us. Takes me back to when we were playing gigs in England. So yeah, it's pretty cool.
DA: How long are you going to be on tour for? I see you're heading for Montreal next, that's a long drive!
TB: Well, we had a bit of a party in Brooklyn last night. We're away for a month. Go everywhere in the north, then drive all the way down for SXSW, all the way to the west coast, up to Vancouver, then back down to play some shows in Mexico.
DA: Who's driving?
TB: Us. We take turns.
DA: What's the strangest experience you've had on tour?
TB: We did a show in Paris for a party and this organizer came back afterwards and, you know, people always go, 'could you do this, or this, or this.' He's like, "Guys, I'm so sorry to bother you after the show, but someone just wants to say hello and well done, if it's not too much hassle for you guys." We say, "Sure, who is it?" "Alicia Keys and the Princess of Monaco." So, yes, Alicia Keys, sure. Or eating frog porridge after the show in Kuala Lumpur – that was pretty good. Tastes kind of – froggy.
DA: I know each concert is different and there are things that happen sometimes and don't other times, so what's your favorite accidental thing ever to happen onstage?
TB: Thom [Rhoades] and Lawrence [Diamond] do this game every night in the middle of a particular song – there's a point where they shout something at each other which is somehow relevant to what happened that day or the day before, and I think only once have they both shouted the same thing at one another. And when that happens, we know that we are completely synchronized. Telepathically, psychologically.
DA: So, since you're so synchronized, are you already planning another album?
TB: Yes, actually – we're writing the album now, and recording a single at the moment with a well-known DJ. So that's exciting, hopefully that will be out soon.
DA: Now for some more interesting questions: If you could pick any three historical figures to attend a cocktail party with, who would you choose?
TB: You know, people always say Nelson Mandela, but I think you'd have to think about it practically. I mean, we're going to a cocktail party. I'd go with Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Nico, because I think they'd be fun to go to a party with.
DA: Well, we all know you're musically talented, but what are your strangest other talents?
Lawrence Diamond (keyboards): I can read a bus from 200 yards, read the front of a bus. Useful skill to have in London.
TB: He has the sight of a hawk.
LD: Tom Burke is a remarkably good climber. It's insane. He's like cliffhanger.
TB: Lawrence is the king of banter – what do they call it over here? Oh! Lawrence got game.
DA: What's a song that makes you happy whenever you hear it?
TB: We listened to "Baba O'Riley" in the van today. It made me happy, but it also made me angry. For some reason, The Who always makes me angry. Jay-Z's "Ni**as In Paris" makes me happy. Whenever we go to Paris we start listening to that, humming it.
DA: What is the best decision you've made in your life so far?
Martyn Richmond (bass): Getting a bag with wheels and a handle. Last year I had a massive bag that had no wheels and I had to carry it over my shoulder – it was awful.
LD: Not becoming a lawyer. That's mine. I was like, two weeks from starting a law course when I joined the band.
MR: Now he's tendered goods. The bar won't have him.
DA: Last actual interview question: if you could broadcast any message to the entire world population right now, regardless of language barriers or anything, what would it be?
LD: It's okay to have gay and lesbian couples kissing on Youtube.
DA: You're talking about your video for True Romance, right? It's a beautiful video, what happened?
MR: It got censored – you can only see it if you're over 18, I think.
LD: There are other videos of couples kissing on Youtube, so we're pretty sure it was the gay thing.
MR: There was a lot of debate in the comments section, homophobes getting shut down by some of our fans, so that was good.
Citizens! are on tour for all of March. See if they're in your city, and don't forget to buy their album here!

Five different chapters of PFLAG walked in the National March for Equality organized by Equality Forum. Among the several hundred marchers were more than fifty PFLAG marchers carrying placards (provided by Gay American Heroes) of LGBT victims of violence, and lead by PFLAG Philadelphia. Other PFLAG chapters represented were from Baltimore and Howard Counties in Maryland, and Chester County and Mechanicsburg in Central Pennsylvania.
Assisting the speaker, Scott Hall, from Gay American Heroes were five PFLAG leaders, four of whom are chapter presidents; Myra Taksa (Philadelphia), Colette Roberts (Columbia/Howard County, MD), [Mark Parto himself (Baltmire County, MD)], Lynda Carcione (Chester County, PA) and Bill Sizemore (Mechanicsburg, Central PA).
Participation in this march was powerful collective display of regional representation for PFLAG members. A network of camaraderie among these groups was developed in the planning stages of the march and strengthened day-long rain storm leading to possible future join participation.

AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken men's basketball team had its six-game winning streak halted in a 90-87 Peach Belt Conference road loss to Armstrong Atlantic State on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Arena.
Despite the loss, USC Aiken (15-6, 11-3 PBC) remains in control in the Peach Belt Conference East Division. The Pacers are also still in the hunt for the overall Peach Belt Conference regular-season title. Depending on Montevallo's game with Clayton State today, the Pacers will still have the overall lead for the PBC regular-season crown or sit just a half-game behind Montevallo (15-6, 11-3 PBC).
USC Aiken led by as many as 11 points in the first half over Armstrong (13-7, 9-4 PBC).
The Pacers entered the halftime break with a 53-47 advantage.
Armstrong would own a nine-point lead over the Pacers with 8:35 remaining in the game, but USC Aiken would battle back to lead by two at 87-85 with 39 seconds remaining in the contest.
Armstrong's Aric Miller would give the Pirates the lead back at 88-87 after he hit a 3-pointer with 17 seconds to go in the game. Antroine Williford would then hit two free throws with 10 seconds to play to leave Armstrong with a 90-87 lead.
The Pacers had a chance to tie the contest in the final seconds, but Ronald Zimmerman's (Columbia, S.C./Spring Valley HS) 3-point attempt just rimmed out to give the Pirates the three-point victory.
Four Pacers finished in double figures in the game with Paul Larsen (Mooresville, N.C./Mercer) leading the way with 23 points and a career-high tying 14 rebounds. Larsen claimed half of his 14 boards in the game on the offensive glass.
Larsen with his 23 points and 14 caroms in the game now has eight double-doubles on the 2012-13 season.
Re'mon Nelson (Columbus, Ohio/Canal Winchester HS) ended the Pacer loss to Armstrong with 20 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal.
DeVontae Wright (Goose Creek, S.C./The Citadel) concluded the game for USC Aiken with 15 points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals.
The final Pacer in double figures, Santoine Butler (Augusta, Ga./Gardner-Webb) ended his afternoon with 13 points and seven rebounds. He also had a game-high tying five assists.
Armstrong's Miller led all in the game with 39 points. He was one of three Pirates in double figures.
USC Aiken closed out the game shooting 43.1 percent (31-for-72) as a team. Armstrong shot 47.5 percent (28-for-59) from the field as a team in the game.
Neither team shot well from beyond the arc with the Pacers shooting 35 percent (7-for-20) and the Pirates shooting 30.4 percent (7-for-23) as a team.
The Pacers owned a 47-36 rebounding advantage in the game with the Pacers claiming 22 offensive rebounds as a team.
USC Aiken will next stay on the road to face off against Peach Belt Conference foe Flagler in St. Augustine, Fla. on Thursday, Feb. 14. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Stop drugging all the children
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
Here we go again — another senseless shooting and the calls for more gun control.
The one common thing about all the killings that is found if you dig deep enough is, "He went off his meds."
As soon as a boy behaves like a boy in school, he is put on Ritalin or a similar psychotropic drug. The boy spends his formative years in a drug-induced haze being told his parents are wrong, Christianity is wrong, and our history is wrong. They spend countless hours in their drugged state paying violent video games and watching violent movies and TV.
When they "go off their meds," they don't know reality from fantasy, right from wrong or good from evil. They have no moral underpinnings, no sense of direction or purpose in life.
Under our present public-indoctrination centers, people like Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein or Henry Ford would not have been possible. Any bit of nonconformity or inspiration is soon subdued with drugs to allow a Stepford-type child to conform to the whims of our elected officials.
There have always been people who do evil things, that is a fact, but with these killings we continue to hear he went off his meds and there is no life in his eyes. We are creating thousands of ticking time bombs by not allowing boys to be boys. It is time for parents to be parents and stop school systems from drugging your children.

This is the best match to a sausage I grew up eating. The one I wanted was called Farmers summer sausage, and in my culture it was used as an apetizer as well as an ingredient for soups, and rice dishes. I have been looking for this smokey tasting sausage for some time and found it in Klements Origina summer sausage. It is fresh and tasty and smells so good. Love this sausage, great for parties cut and served with crackers and cheese (white farmers cheese is so good). Try it I know you will like it.
Now that my husband and I have tried this brand of summer sausage, all other brands are ruined for us. This one has the best flavor of any I have ever tasted hands down. They have managed to create the perfect recipe.
My husband is from England living here in the US and this product took him home for a little bit.

To everyone's delight, they're returning to the Golden State. More specifically, they'll be in Santa Clara at the Convention Center on June 7.
I'm talking about the cast and crew of the PBS series "Antiques Roadshow."
Ever since the 2014 national tour was announced nearly two weeks ago, fans in our neck of the woods have been abuzz about the possibility of taking part in this roving history lesson. For legions of buffs, getting to meet the appraisers -- on or off the "Antiques Roadshow" set -- is considered a rite of passage.
At a recent program I gave in the East Bay, devotees of the hit series asked one question more than any other. The crowd wanted to know if the "blond treasure twins" -- appraisers Leslie and Leigh Keno -- will attend the festivities.
Kathryn Hathaway, my contact at WGBH in Boston, says a list of the appraisers for the tour has yet to be finalized. Once I have an update, I'll share the news.
For details about the tour and to apply for tickets, go to www.pbs.org and follow the "Antiques Roadshow" link. Winners are selected at random. April 7 is the deadline for your application, but don't delay. Do it now. You can apply only once.
Once selected, ticket holders need to figure out what antiques or collectibles they will bring to the show. They are required to bring at least one item for appraisal, but no more than two. If you have a piece of furniture that you would like to be considered for evaluation, there's a separate request form. The large objects chosen are transported at no cost from within a 50-mile radius of Santa Clara.
For the record, the cities on the tour are Bismarck, N.D., on May 31; then Santa Clara; followed by Birmingham, Ala.; Austin, Texas; Albuquerque, N.M.; Chicago; New York; and finally, Charleston, W.Va., on Aug. 16. The programs from these cities will air in 2015.
A special show
For the most part, I'm an old-fashioned collector: I prefer pursuing treasures in person, not online. I have an inkling that I've got quite a bit of company.
And I can only assume it's one of the chief reasons why so many folks from around the Bay Area head to the annual St. Christopher Ladies' Guild Antiques Show and Sale in San Jose. The annual bash, now in its 44th year, takes place Jan. 31 and Feb. 1-2.
It takes a village to put on this extravaganza. Luckily, a dedicated and astute group of organizers sees to it that a diverse mix of sellers and goods are on parade.
As always, fewer than 25 dealers are invited to display their wares. That's plenty for me. I've always felt the intimate size of this show is yet another part of its allure.
Among the vendors at this year's event will be Martha Bedford, of Sunnyvale. Her space surely will boast a big selection of fairly priced glass, linens, swell kitchen paraphernalia, silver and picture frames.
Many of the most elegant offerings will probably be in the booths of Keith Kinkade and Mark Peterson, Jim Dyer and Eduardo Massa. These San Jose sellers are known for carrying superior porcelains, art glass, silver and such.
You'll be mesmerized by the fantastic posters up for grabs from Vintage European Posters of Berkeley. Two dealers -- Vicki Cirner and Carol Robichaud -- seem to always feature a bunch of sweet Valentines. If you want coins, see Sal and Barbara Falcone, legends in the antiques trade.
I have word that San Jose-based jewelry maven Barbara Kiltz had added 1,000 or so vintage pieces of costume jewelry to her already impressive stock.
And make sure you ogle the estate jewelry shown by veteran merchants Pat and Manuel Lopez, from Benicia.
Once you're finished shopping, it's time to eat. Veteran showgoers know the food includes to-die-for Italian fare: lasagna, pepper steak sandwiches and fried calamari. Since the theme of this year's show is "A Passport to Paris," diners will also find chicken cordon bleu on the bill of fare.
I will be at the show all three days. Please drop by so I can wish you a happy new year. I'm there Jan. 31 from 1 to 3 p.m. On Feb. 1, I'll deliver a program at 1 p.m. titled "Dating Our Treasures." On Feb. 2 from 10 to 11 a.m., I'll offer evaluations of your heirlooms and garage sale finds. A $10 donation is requested. To reserve a spot, email email@example.com. Afterward, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., I'll appraise one item per visitor free of charge.
Be sure to check out the Pavilion Tent, where there's a garden shop and a boutique selling handcrafted items. I never miss going to the pantry where cakes, jams, pies, and brownies are sold along with pizzelles, which are Italian waffle cookies.
St. Christopher's is at 2278 Booksin Ave. in San Jose. Hours: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. on Jan. 31-Feb. 1. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Feb. 2. Admission: $5. No strollers allowed. For details, call Holly Walsh at 408-656-9110, or go to www.stchrisantiqueshow.com.
Proceeds benefit St. Christopher's parish, school and community outreach programs.
Oakland preview sale
Another worthwhile place to look for antiques and all manner of collectibles is utterly grand in size. It's the Oakland Museum Women's Board White Elephant Sale, and it takes place Sunday.
This gargantuan rummage sale is actually a preview of the "real thing," which will be held March 1-2.
The merchandise -- all of it donated to benefit the Oakland Museum of California -- is always wonderfully organized and displayed. Upon entering a 96,000-square-foot building, customers are directed by overhead signs to furniture, paintings, books, jewelry, clothes, sporting goods, china, tools, garden and kitchen goodies, plus tons more.
Even though the sale occurs near the Fruitvale BART station and a free shuttle service is provided, folks tend to drive their own cars. Be forewarned if you do: Parking is very tight.
No matter how you get there, make sure to wear shoes with good support. Above all, remain patient. There will be lines. Any wait is worth it.
The 55th annual sale is at 333 Lancaster St., Oakland. Hours for Sunday's preview sale are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission: $20. Children younger than 12 may attend free when accompanied by an adult. Details: 510-536-6800 or www.whiteelephantsale.org.
Contact Steven Yvaska at firstname.lastname@example.com or 750 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, CA 95190.

I head the Steamtown Marathon in Pennsylvania is pretty fast...lots of downhills...http://www.steamtownmarathon.com/
Happy Running!
A really fast course that is a Boston Qualifier is the Bizz Johnson Marathon in September http://www.bizzjohnson.com/ . I haven't run the course, but I did it both ways on a mountain bike last summer (didn't get registered in time). The course starts with a very slight up grade for about 2 miles, just long enough to get the legs warmed up, then the remainder of the run is down hill. The Bizz Johnson trail is part of the nations Rails to Trails network. This is not a course for those who love to be cheered on by thousands of well wishers, this is through the back country of the High Desert part of Northern California. However, this would be one of the most senic courses you have ever ran. The course winds through the woods for the first approximately 10 miles, then skirts the Susan River, crossing over 10 bridges and through two train tunnels. Lots of shade through the full course. The only main drawback is this is ran in the High Desert, with an altitude hovering around 5000 feet. Oh yeah, I'm already registered this year.
Wow jax! That looks like my kind of race--I'm going to talk with my lady and see of she wants to register too. That would be so cool if both of us qualified for Boston the same day. Imagine that? Anyhow, thanks for sharing, thats awesome.
The Outer Banks Marathon in North Carolina was fast last November. The Half was the fastest in NC in 2007.
North South, Flat, very scenic along Albemarle Sound and the Kitty Hawk Wright Brothers Memorial. It is on Veteran's Day weekend and the winds are typically from the north that time of the year. Something psychologically boosting about having the wind at your back for 22+ of 26.2 miles.
The bridge over the Roanoke Channel from mile 22 to ~23.25 was quite a challenge, but IMO at a great spot in the race.
Thats awesome. I've been to OBX and it's breathtakingly beautiful. Marathoning there would be a great experience. Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm surprised this one didn't make the original list. Looks like we've got a solid list of our own started!
Great, see you there! jax
Are you sure? It looks like it is high altitude, plus I am not sure if trail is fast. It depends on the surface.
It starts at 5,000 and loses 1,100 towards the finish. The trail is described as hard packed gravel so its easier on the body. I'm able to train at that altitude a couple times a month so its not an unknow for me but I could see it might be tough for others. I was thinking about the new Big Bear Marathon in September, but its not a Boston Qualifier and doesn't seem as fast as this one. It's very tempting... I need to research it more. Where would I fly into, etc...
Yeah, it's high up. I live in Reno, so I'm accustomed to the altitude. You could make it a vacation, come up to Reno/Tahoe and do some running. Reno and especially Tahoe have some great late summer activities, and miles of trails to get you adjusted. http://www.tahoerimtrail.org/TRTVideo/trtshowForInternet.html The Tahoe Rim has some great trails that are easy to follow, and if you train at that altitude, Bizz Johnson would be a breeze. Check out the Tahoe Rim Trail map, especially the Mount Rose to Spooner Summit trail. I've mountain biked it several times, I always stop for a swim in Marlet Lake before continuing on to Spooner Park. Also, Spooner Summit Park has a shuttle to Mount Rose, so you can leave your vehicle there, and run from Mt. Rose to your car.
The best would be to Fly into Reno, and rent a car. Susanville is about 80 miles north of Reno on U.S. 395. If that didn't work for you, I suppose we could arrange something. My e-mail is email@example.com
Wish I could join you but I live in the Bay Area and run pretty much between 5 feet to 30 feet above sea level. Some of my runs are really along the Bay (only a few feet higher than the sea level). Before that, I used to live in along Hudson River between NYC and NJ and also just run between 5 to 15 feet above sea level. So, I have almost no experience running high up. I did went to Yosemite and did some jogging there. After I got back down, I felt easy running at Sea level. Guess that's why a lot of top runners here live near Mammoth Lake.
I wouldn't survive 5500 feet for a Marathon.
I understand, I was born and raised in Eugene, OR. Elevation about 500ft. My frist run here was a tiny 1.5 mile run for a physical test, for the Reno Police Dept. I was accustomed to 5 and 10 mile daily runs. At the finish, I thought my throat was raw. What a difference a few measly feet make. I'm retired now, so I have all the time in the world to train at even higher altitudes, like the Tahoe Rim.

DOE Awards $156 Million for Groundbreaking Energy Research Projects
DOE announced on September 29 awards of $156 million for 60 cutting-edge research initiatives under DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) agency that are aimed at dramatically improving how the United States produces and uses energy. The new ARPA-E selections focus on accelerating innovations in clean technology while increasing U.S. competitiveness in rare earth alternatives and breakthroughs in biofuels, thermal storage, grid controls, and solar power electronics. The selected projects are located in 25 states, with 50% of endeavors led by universities, 23% by small businesses, 12% by large businesses, 13% by national labs, and 2% by nonprofits. This round of selections brings the total of ARPA-E awards to date to 180 projects, 12 program areas, and $521.7 million.
Ten of the selections are part of the new Plants Engineered to Replace Oil category, which has projects seeking to create biofuels from domestic sources such as tobacco and pine trees for half their current cost, making them cost-competitive with fuels from oil. For example, the University of Florida—Gainesville will increase the production of turpentine, a natural liquid biofuel isolated from pine trees. The type of pine tree developed for this project is designed to increase the turpentine storage capacity of the wood, upping turpentine production from 3% to 20%. Another 14 projects are part of the Rare Earth Alternatives in Critical Technologies category, which is designed to fund early-stage technology alternatives that reduce or eliminate the dependence on rare earth materials by developing substitutes in electric vehicle motors and wind turbines.
Additionally, 15 projects in the High Energy Advanced Thermal Storage section aims to develop revolutionary cost-effective thermal energy storage technologies. Among them, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will pursue its HybriSol thermal energy storage device, or a heat battery, that captures and stores energy from the sun to be released onto the grid later. Fourteen projects in the Green Electricity Network Integration area will explore innovative control software and high-voltage hardware to reliably control the grid network. Finally, seven projects will collaborate with DOE's SunShot Initiative under the Solar ADEPT program, which focuses on integrating advanced power electronics into solar panels and solar farms to extract and deliver energy more efficiently. See the DOE press release, the list of projects, and the ARPA-E website.

Revised to November 17, 2015
When the defendant is charged with criminal sexual behavior, evidence of the defendant's
commission of another offense or offenses is admissible and may be considered
if it is relevant to prove that the defendant had the propensity or a tendency
to engage in the type of criminal sexual behavior with which (he/she) is charged.
However, evidence of a prior offense on its own is not sufficient to prove the
defendant guilty of the crimes charged in the information. Bear in mind as you
consider this evidence that at all times, the state has the burden of proving
that the defendant committed each of the elements of the offense charged in the
information. I remind you that the defendant is not on trial for any act,
conduct, or offense not charged in the information.
This approach replaces the former practice of admitting this type of evidence as common scheme or plan.
State v. DeJesus, 288 Conn. 418, 470-71 (2008); State v. Antonaras, 137 Conn. App. 703 (2012) (court improperly instructed jury on the common scheme or plan exception). See Code of Evidence § 4-5 (b).
Evidence of prior sexual misconduct may be admitted under this exception if it is relevant to prove that the defendant had the propensity or a tendency to engage in the type of criminal sexual behavior with which he or she is charged, its probative value outweighs its prejudicial effect, and the jury is given a limiting instruction on its use. State v. DeJesus, supra, 288 Conn. 473-74. The trial court should adapt this instruction to the specific purpose for which the evidence was offered.
Defendant does not have to be charged with a sexual crime for evidence of prior criminal sexual behavior to be relevant. State v. Johnson, 289 Conn. 437, 455-56 (2008); State v. Snelgrove, 288 Conn. 742 (2008).

ingredient information
Wheat Flour Durum Whole
Different kinds of wheat flours are selected for those qualities specific to the food product. For example: hard wheat flour from hard red winter and hard red spring wheat is usually higher in protein than other wheat flours. Hard wheat flour is more suitable for commercial bread production because it has the qualities to produce a lighter, more porous texture. This is the same reason that hard wheat flour is added to whole wheat and rye flours for bread. Soft wheat flours, from soft red winter wheat and white winter wheat are sold for family use for biscuit or cake flours. In commercial production it is used for crackers, cakes, cookies, and pastries. Consumers are seldom aware of the hardness or softness of flour. These are the characteristics of the two types: hard wheat falls into separate particles if shaken in the hand while soft wheat flour clumps a bit and tends to hold its shape if pressed together. Hard wheat flour feels somewhat course and granular when rubbed between the fingers. Soft wheat flour feels smooth more like talcum powder. Its status as a staple is second only to rice. One reason for its popularity is that-unlike other cereals-wheat contains a relatively high amount of GLUTEN, the protein that provides the elasticity necessary for excellent breadmaking. Though there are over 30,000 varieties of wheat, the three major types are hard wheat, soft wheat and durum wheat. Hard wheat is high in protein (10 to 14 percent) and yields a flour rich in gluten, making it particularly suitable for YEAST BREADS. The low-protein (6 to 10 percent) soft wheat yields a flour lower in gluten and therefore better suited for tender baked goods such as biscuits and cakes. Durum wheat, although high in gluten, is not good for baking. Instead, it's most often ground into SEMOLINA, the basis for excellent pasta. Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the world and ubiquitous in our culture. Bread, pasta, bagels, crackers, cakes, muffins and other wheat containing products line our supermarket shelves and fill our grocery baskets. It is luck for us that this popular grain is available throughout the year. Classes used in the United States are Durum - Very hard, translucent, light colored grain used to make semolina flour for pasta. Hard Red Spring - Hard, brownish, high protein wheat used for bread and hard baked goods. Hard Red Winter - Hard, brownish, very high protein wheat used for bread, hard baked goods and as an adjunct in other flours to increase protein. Soft Red Winter - Soft, brownish, medium protein wheat used for bread. Hard White - Hard, light colored, opaque, chalky, medium protein wheat planted in dry, temperate areas. Used for bread and brewing Soft White - Soft, light colored, very low protein wheat grown in temperate moist areas. Used for bread. Hard wheats are harder to process and red wheats may need bleaching. Therefore, soft and white wheats usually command higher prices than hard and red wheats on the commodities market. Wheat, in its natural unrefined state, features a host of important nutrients. Therefore, to receive benefit from the wholesomeness of wheat it is important to choose wheat products made from whole wheat flour rather than those that are refined and stripped of their natural goodness. The health benefits of wheat depend entirely on the form in which you eat it. These benefits will be few if you select wheat that has been processed into 60% extraction, bleached white flour. 60% extraction - the standard for most wheat products in the United States, including breads, noodles and pastas, baked goods like rolls or biscuits, and cookies - means that 40% of the original wheat grain was removed, and only 60% is left. Unfortunately, the 40% that gets removed includes the bran and the germ of the wheat grain - its most nutrient-rich parts. In the process of making 60% extraction flour, over half of the vitamin B1, B2, B3, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and fiber are lost. Since 1941, laws in the United States have required "enrichment" of processed wheat flour with vitamins B1, B2, B3 and iron in response to the problems created by 60% extraction. Although not nearly as much of these B vitamins and iron are replaced as are removed from 60% extraction flour, "enriched" seems an odd word to describe this process. If you select 100% whole wheat products, however, the bran and the germ of the wheat will remain in your meals, and the health benefits will be impressive! Our food ranking qualified whole wheat (in its original non-enriched form) as a very good source of dietary fiber and manganese, and as a good source of magnesium. Bran is made up of the outer layers of the wheat kernel. Bran is used in whole wheat flour. It is also used in breakfast cereals. The germ is tiny - about 2 1/2% of the whole wheat kernel. The germ is the part that will sprout and grow into a new wheat plant if the kernel is planted. Wheat germ is sold in grocery stores and food markets. Whole wheat flour also contains wheat germ.

AIKEN, S.C. – Re'mon Nelson finished with a double-double with 23 points and 11 assists in leading the University of South Carolina Aiken men's basketball team to an 82-77 Peach Belt Conference victory over Montevallo on Saturday evening at the Convocation Center.
The victory allowed the Pacers to remain tied with Augusta State for first place in the Peach Belt Conference East Division. Both USC Aiken (8-4, 4-1 PBC) and Augusta State are currently 4-1 in league play.
The East Division duo of USC Aiken and Augusta State are also now tied with Young Harris for the overall lead in the Peach Belt Conference. Young Harris is currently leading the West Division with a 4-1 league mark.
