Just imagine it. You're a guest at one of the most glamorous weddings in history. You're probably in France, somewhere on the outskirts of Paris. Every extravagant detail has been scrupulously planned and orchestrated. It is, as they say, "over the top." Dinner is finally served and on your exquisitely beautiful, fine china plate sits …
A Whopper and fries.
That's right, Burger King is offering to cater Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding reception.
While we don't think that will fly with Kim and Kanye, it's certainly been worthy of some press. Just exactly how did that offer get extended anyway? Burger King isn't in the business of catering weddings, especially not for a couple who may currently be the most famous duo on the planet.
It appears that there are rumors circling that claim that Kanye has bought Kim a chain of ten European Burger King restaurants. Supposedly, a source shared the information with a U.K. tabloid, saying that "As always, Kanye is thinking outside the box when it comes to gifts for Kim. She owns all the jewels anyone could ever want, so he is taking the practical route by investing in businesses for her instead. He knows the fast food industry is reliable and lucrative, plus BK is international so he thinks it's the perfect fit for Kim."
It seems difficult to believe that fast food restaurants would hold any business appeal for Kim Kardashian. Let's see, there's a clothing line, clothing stores, makeup, fragrance, tanning products, and jewelry bearing the Kardashian name right now. We're pretty sure the Kardashian Kids line just launched, but honestly it's hard to keep up. We can't understand how 10 Burger King restaurants in Europe fit into the growing portfolio. But we guess you never know!
"Burger King Corp. is familiar with the recent news stories regarding Kanye West and Kim Kardashian," a company spokesperson said in a statement. "We are unaware of any purchase of BURGER KING® restaurants made by either Mr. West or Ms. Kardashian, but we're available to cater the wedding!"
Haven't yet heard a peep from the happy couple about that suggestion. FoodFacts.com can't imagine that we will. While it was certainly a generous offer, we're pretty sure that Burger King isn't expecting to hear from them either. With hundreds of guests traveling to France for an extravagant wedding celebration, we're fairly certain that the feast will reflect the setting — and that the ingredients chosen to create that feast don't exist anywhere in the Burger King repertoire!

At Snow+Rock, we consider a well-fitted ski helmet to be an absolutely vital part of your ski equipment.

Quite a few of our range of skiing helmets also have removable padding that can be washed after an energetic days' skiing. You may find that some brands fit you better than others.Read the Helmet buyers guide

October 23, 2006
GreenJackets owner Cal Ripken, Jr. was in Augusta today getting a proclamation from the mayor. He also talked about some big new possibilities for baseball in Augusta.
It was a big deal when Ripken brought the GreenJackets, but he's not done with Augusta. He's now talking of making a big investment in the city.
When the iron man comes to town, it's usually for a reason.
This time there were two. First, the Augusta GreenJackets' owner received recognition from the mayor for the team's Southern Regional championship.
"They deserve some special attention," said Mayor Deke Copenhaver. "They brought a championship, a division title to Augusta in their first year."
And it's that success that has the baseball great looking to do some great things in Augusta. He met with leaders about ways he can invest in the city, which could include a new baseball stadium.
"I'm certainly open-minded, and we're looking at all the possibilities of having a good partnership with the city," Ripken told News 12. "Ultimately you want to do what's best for Augusta. If a new stadium in part of town is best for Augusta, we'll be open-minded to that."
Right now, the Jackets play at Lake Olmstead.
Ripken says the crowds for the minor league games have been good, but not great. A new stadium we be a multi-use venue, fit for big concerts...like the Ripken stadium in Aberdeen, Maryland.
"We realize that everybody's not really a fanatic and crazy about baseball, but we can use that stadium for ways to make people happy," Ripken said.
And though this is a pitch and not a plan just yet, just talk of the Ripken Baseball Company investing in Augusta has city leaders feeling good.
"They are committed to this community and I'm extremely excited to have them invested in our community," Mayor Copenhaver said.
"The minor league stadiums and minor league teams do provide an economic engine for the city, a nice gathering point, does bring money into the city in many different ways," Ripken said.
He's not just looking at a stadium. He also met with Kroc Center people.
Ripken's organization has been leading the GreenJackets for just a season, and they went to the playoffs for the first time in five years.

Dallas cop helps deliver surprise baby
Published: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 2:39 p.m.
CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) — A suburban Dallas police officer ended up playing midwife to one mother in labor.
Gene Kimpton says he entered a home in Carrollton Wednesday morning with his weapon drawn. All he knew is there was some sort of emergency situation in the house.
There was.
A young boy pointed Kimpton into the bathroom, where his mother — who hadn't realized she was pregnant — was in labor.
Kimpton helped guide the baby boy out and wrapped him in a towel until paramedics arrived and cut the umbilical cord.
Police say the mother and child are resting comfortably at an area hospital.

Car belonging to man missing since 1986 is found
Published: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 7:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 7:09 p.m.
CHARLOTTE COUNTY - A missing-person case is back in the spotlight after Charlotte County workers stumbled upon a car belonging to a man who disappeared nearly 27 years ago.
Crews working about 10 a.m. Thursday in a canal in the Deep Creek area of Charlotte County found the 1982 white Chevrolet Corvette.
The vehicle's tag matched the car reportedly driven by Terrance Paul Beghin when he went missing on Nov. 1, 1986.
Beghin was 26 at the time.
He left his home in the 400 block of Corrientes Court about midnight on Halloween in his limited-edition Corvette with tinted windows and custom rims. Beghin called one of his roommates to see if he needed a ride, but Beghin never showed up, according to Herald-Tribune archives.
He worked at a Port Charlotte restaurant, where he would clean the business after closing. He never picked up his last paycheck.
Beghin's sister checked a boat he had docked in Boca Grande, but there were no signs of him. She reported him missing.
Beghin, who was diabetic and required insulin shots at least once a day, always kept in touch with his family and friends.
Detectives suspected foul play in his disappearance, an archived article reported.
"Missing-persons cases mostly stay on the books," Debbie Bowe, spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office said. "Unless you have something to go on, there is nothing to do until you get more information. Something like this comes along and the case is reopened."
There were no remains inside the car, but the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office cordoned off the area to further investigate.
Officials notified Beghin's next of kin of the development.
"Things like this have happened before where we've recovered a car years and years later because the tides were right, or a helicopter flew over at the right time or people were dredging and hit something," Bowe said. "There are all sorts of ways to locate something in the weeds, swamp or harbor and suddenly a case heats back up again."

LEAP Core Curriculum (30 units)
All LEAP students are required to take ten liberal arts courses from Saint Mary's (see Course Descriptions). Designed and selected with the dancer's academic needs and interests in mind, these courses challenge, inspire, and equip professional dancers for lifelong learning and success.
Courses for the Major (up to 30 units)
Students entering the LEAP program are qualified to challenge by examination several of the required performing arts courses for the Performing Arts major at Saint Mary's. This significantly reduces the amount of time needed to earn the Bachelor's degree and frees students to pursue their individualized courses of study.
Prior Learning Assessment (up to 30 units)
In the context of the exploration of theories of adult development, the main product of the Personal and Professional Assessment course is the Experiential Learning Portfolio, a collection of essays and supporting documentation that may be further evaluated for academic credit toward the degree.
General Education Courses (at least 30 units)
LEAP creates an individualized course of study for each student that satisfies general education and unit requirements for the degree and prepares students for their chosen new careers or graduate school. General Education requirements include:
2 Humanities courses
1 Math/Computer Science course
2 Social Science courses
1 English Composition course
1 Religious Studies course
To fulfill these requirements, students may:
- Transfer in credit from previous college course work.
- Concurrently take lower/upper division courses at an accredited community or state college.
- Earn course credit through experiential learning.
- Earn credit from certificated coursework.
- Take LEAP electives, on-line courses, or additional on-campus coursework at Saint Mary's College.
LEAP course work is completed in three or four years. There are four terms: Fall, January, Spring, and Summer. LEAP courses meet once a week for 8- 10 weeks. Since LEAP is an individualized program, the time it takes each student to earn the degree will vary.
Degree Completion
In order to be awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree from Saint Mary's College, a student will:
- Complete the 10-course LEAP Core Curriculum.
- Complete course requirements for the major.
- Fulfill general education requirements.
- Attain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0.
- Complete 120 semester units of credit.

For the second time in as many weeks, Fallon was at the center of the Northern Nevada youth football universe.
About 60 teams from Fallon, Portola, Quincy, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Carson City, Minden and Fernley converged for the Sagebrush Empire Pop Warner league's annual jamboree at the Churchill County Regional Fields this past Saturday.
Players officially weighed in and participated in several scrimmages before the regular season kicks off Sept. 8.
The scrimmages allowed teams to practice against an opponent and was used as a tool for preparations still needed before the season. The Regional Fields consisted of five fields cut in half to allow 10 scrimmages at once.
Teams played for 30 minutes and split their time between offense and defense. Hundreds of youth football players roamed the fields while friends and family watched from the sidelines.
The North Tahoe Rams Mitey Mites introduced themselves to the Douglas Tigers, Sparks Steelers and Sparks Cardinals, while the Pee Wees took on the Sparks Steelers and Wolfpack teams and the Carson Senators.
With the day of scrimmages under their belt, the Rams will open their regular season with away games the weekend after Labor Day, with the Pee Wees facing the Sparks Wolfpack again in a rematch of last year's season-closing playoff game, and the Mitey Mites making the trip back to Fallon to face Fernley.
The Rams' home openers are back-to-back games versus the Reno Wolfpack teams on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Incline High School. The Pee Wees kick off at 11 a.m. and the Mitey Mites at 1 p.m.

"I really love it when I can see that a guy is making an effort with my friends. They're a huge part of my life and his taking the time to get to know them means that he cares about me. My boyfriend always makes them laugh, and he cooks for them a lot. We were all at a wedding last night and he even drove us to and from since there was no transportation." Sarah B.
"It's so sexy when a guy exudes confidence, but without being cocky or talking himself up nonstop. Most of the guys I fall for tend to be low-key types who have this self-assurance about them, though you can't quite put your finger on where it stems from. Honestly, it makes me wonder if they're packin' below." Laura G.

A judge has rescheduled the arraignment of a 24-year-old man accused of shooting into a crowded Tulsa plaza and wounding a sheriff's deputy and a bystander.
A judge on Thursday reset Andrew Dennehy's district court arraignment for Jan. 30.
Dennehy faces shooting with intent to kill and firearms charges. His family and attorney say he's a paranoid schizophrenic plagued by bizarre thoughts and delusions. Prosecutors say he's bluffing and understands the charges against him.
Prosecutors allege Dennehy wandered barefoot into the plaza between the Tulsa County courthouse and Tulsa Central Library last March and fired a handgun — sending people fleeing in panic and injuring the deputy and bystander.
Dennehy was also wounded when deputies arrived and returned fire.

Five things most people don't know about Todd Fast
By toddfast on Jan 05, 2007
1. I grew up near Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, USA. When I first moved to the Bay Area, everyone was surprised I didn't have a Texas accent for some reason. Two of my close colleagues are also from Texas. We like to compare boots, though I prefer Kenneth Cole over Tony Llama.
2. The first computer I owned was a Commodore 64, when I was 13 years old. I've always loved computer and console games, so I spent most of my spare time between 1983-84 programming games in BASIC and 6502 assembly. A few years ago, I bought a cable to hook up my old 1541 disk drive to my PC and I imported all my old C64 files as disk images, which I can now run in CCS64 and other Commodore 64 emulators. Pretty interesting to see what the hell I was programming at age 13.
3. When I was 16 years old, I burned most of the skin off my lower left leg and foot while screwing around with some extremely flammable chemicals I "borrowed" from the school's chemistry lab.
4. When I was in college at the University of Texas at Austin, I scored the music for a student film by Robert Rodriguez (director of Spy Kids, Sin City) called Bedhead. Previously, it was only available on the El Mariachi Special Edition DVD. By the way, "bedhead" is a slang term describing someone's messy hair after getting out of bed in the morning.
The short was made for Robert's Film 1 class at the UT Film School. As for my part, I was dating his film partner at the time, and she connected me with Robert. After they heard some of my music, they asked me to score the film. Don't be too hard on me; I only had one 8-bit synthesizer (an Ensoniq ESQ-1, which I still have and play) that could play a maximum of 8 voices at once, and couldn't do drums worth a damn. I worked on this over a long Thanksgiving holiday at my parents house, and then completed it in my dorm room with Robert the weekend after. I did it for free.
Two years after the short made its rounds to film festivals worldwide and won numerous awards, Robert signed a multi-movie deal with one of the big Hollywood studios. Not long after, he called me out of the blue and asked to come by my apartment. We talked for a bit until he asked me how much I'd charge to score another movie like Bedhead. I was humble and uninterested, but after he badgered me awhile I stupidly said, "Oh, 75 bucks.", to which he responded "A minute?". He wrote me a check for $700 bucks on the spot, and asked me to sign a release form (probably for the right to distribute the short, though I don't recall). At the time, I was happy to have such a windfall, but I don't want to think how much I could've actually hit him up for--I'm sure he was worth well over a million at that point, and now look at him.
Of all Robert's films, I like Bedhead the most. I've never really connected with his work on a personal level, though he's certainly talented. At the time it was made, it was a very surprising accomplishment for someone in his early 20s, especially for a first film, even at the UT film school, which was one of the best in the country. Now, YouTube and Blip.tv have shown just how unremarkable that sort of talent at that age has become.
5. In 1997, I inadvertently crashed all of Microsoft's web servers and brought down http://microsoft.com for a few hours. Yes, that Microsoft. And no, I didn't use that on my resume to Sun (but I should have).
Now for my five victims:
- Jonathan Schwartz (someone has to, right?)
- Jiri (Jirka) Kopsa
- Tricia Wang
- Prakash Narayan
- Tor Norbye.

Texas A&M – Corpus Christi junior Daniel Minor earned his third Southland Pitcher of the Week honor on Monday afternoon after a performance against Northwestern State where he yet again gave up no earned runs while striking out eight batters. It is the fourth overall selection for an Islanders pitcher, as Adam Hoelscher won it following the first week of the season.
Minor, a junior from Drippings Springs, pitched 8.0 innings against the Demons while striking out eight batters. He allowed one unearned run on seven hits and walked none to improve to 6-1 on the year with 74 strikeouts.
In addition to his overall marks, Minor is 4-0 with 55 Ks in six Southland Conference starts this year. His season ERA is at 1.36, while his number in league games is a 1.15 ERA.
Minor's eight strikeouts on Sunday marked the sixth time this year he has struck out at least eight batters in a game, while also having three games of 10-plus punchouts against opponents.
His performance on Sunday was masterful, as he did not allow the unearned run until the bottom of the eighth inning, and only came out of the game to get other pitchers work with a 5-1 lead in the final inning.
Minor and the Islanders will travel to Waco on Tuesday morning, getting there in time to play the Baylor Bears at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, and a 4:05 p.m. start on Wednesday to wrap-up the two-game series. Following the pair of midweek games, the Islanders return home to face the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks at Chapman Field during the weekend.

More Than 400 Innovative Medicines in Development For Top Chronic Diseases Affecting Older Americans
Two Reports Show Progress in Treatment Options for Chronic Disease
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 20, 2013) – America's biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 465 new medicines that target the 10 leading chronic conditions affecting seniors, according to a new report and overview released today by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
With the population of Americans over 65 on the rise and life expectancy climbing, chronic diseases remain a principal threat to the health and productivity of older Americans, as well as to rising health care costs. Innovative medicines have led to major advances against many chronic diseases – and the robust discovery pipeline of new medicines portends continued progress for seniors and our health care system.
- 142 for diabetes, which affects 10.9 million Americans age 65 and older;
- 92 for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, which affect 1.3 million Americans and 12.4 million people over age 65, respectively;
- 82 for Alzheimer's disease, which could afflict nearly 8 million people in the U.S. by 2030 unless a treatment or preventative measure is found;
- 48 for heart failure (affecting 5.8 million Americans) and ischemic heart disease; and
- 40 for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which impacts more than 13 million adults, with the highest prevalence rate in those over age 65.
- A treatment that aims to prevent or reverse progression of Alzheimer's disease by using a human monoclonal antibody specifically designed to draw beta amyloid protein away from the brain through the blood system.
- A medication that combines two long-acting drugs, allowing for once-daily dosing in COPD.
- A potential first-in-class medicine to treat type 2 diabetes that increases insulin secretion without causing insulin to significantly lower blood sugar.
- A medicine that recruits a patients' own neural stem cells to repair or protect against damage to the central nervous system from stress hormones, which can lead to depression.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading innovative biopharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to discovering and developing medicines that enable patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. Since 2000, PhRMA member companies have invested over $500 billion in the search for new treatments and cures, including an estimated $49.5 billion in 2011 alone.

Ayatollah Khamenei and the Iranian regime had two choices when their blatant rigging of the election was met with massive street protests. They could stand aside, a la the decrepit regimes of Eastern Europe in 1989; or they could send out uniformed thugs to beat, kill, and intimidate the protesters until their movement buckled, a la China's Tiananmen Square strategy.
They chose the latter, and we will all pay the price.
With the images of dead and beaten protesters fresh in our minds, it's unthinkable that the Obama administration would offer Iran the only thing that might make it freeze its nuclear program: recognition as a normal country."
In retrospect, it's clear why they chose this path. Dictators, confusing violence with legitimacy, believe their enemies are a dangerous minority who can be repressed by force. They are always the last to know that they have lost the loyalty of their people, so they need someone else to tell them that their time is up. For former Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos, it was Ronald Reagan. For former Nicaraguan President Anastasio Somoza, it was Jimmy Carter. And for the grey apparatchiks of Eastern Europe, it was Mikhail Gorbachev.
But who can tell Khamenei to move along? Iran is an isolated country with few friends and patrons. Principal among these few are Russia and China, but Vladimir Putin and Hu Jintao are hardly likely to object to Khamenei's heavy hand given their own intolerance for domestic dissent.
This leaves the Obama administration, hoping to negotiate a cap to Iran's nuclear program, in a difficult situation. Over the last decade, as sanctions have failed to change Iranian policy, it has become clear that the best hope of averting Iran's entry into the nuclear club was through a grand bargain. In such a bargain, Tehran might dismantle some of its nuclear infrastructure and agree to unusually intrusive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (to assure the world that Iranian centrifuges weren't being used to enrich weapon-grade uranium) in exchange for lifted sanctions, establishment of diplomatic relations with Washington, and acceptance of Iran by the world as a normal country.
As the courageous youth of Iran mourn their dead, the prospects for such a bargain, at least in the near term, seem close to nil. President Barack Obama has taken the view that the United States has a vital national security interest vis-à-vis Iran that has made it prudent to keep its denunciations of Iranian repression low-key. Still, events have left Obama with little room to maneuver in pursuing the U.S. national interest through negotiations with Iran. One can only negotiate an arms control agreement with a government that has just publicly crushed its own people if one is engaged in sterile horse-trading--say, of arms for arms. With the images of dead and beaten protesters fresh in our minds, it's unthinkable that the Obama administration would offer Iran the only thing that might make it freeze its nuclear program: recognition as a normal country. How does one shake hands with so much fresh blood on them and retain legitimacy as a leader?
Furthermore, looking at the bargain from the other end, the Iranian politicians most interested in an opening to the West are now locked up or marginalized. The hard-liners are unambiguously in the driver's seat and, as they see it, their revolution is beset with enemies. Within such a paranoid mind-set, the most powerful weapon in the world must be attractive indeed. Think Curtis LeMay in a turban.
This isn't to say that, over the longer term, there is no prospect for negotiation. As we know from post-Tiananmen China, the crimes of repressive regimes are forgotten after a while, especially when other countries have a strong interest in doing business with them. And in the internet age, a country with a well-educated middle class will find that, in piecemeal and incremental ways, it has to accommodate at least some of the forces of liberalization beaten, in crisis, back into the shadows with batons and bullets. Over time, Iran will morph into a country with which negotiations are again possible.
But how long do we have? While it is uncertain whether Iran's leaders have made a firm decision to build a nuclear weapon (as opposed to keeping open their option to do so), it seems clear that they should be able to construct a bomb within the next five years if they set their minds to doing so. One might hope that Iran's nuclear scientists, confronted with unambiguous evidence that they are working for a brutal, authoritarian regime, would refuse to hand the mullahs the most destructive technology on Earth. But here the historical record suggests little reason for optimism: If Soviet scientists made a bomb for Joseph Stalin, if Chinese scientists made a bomb for Mao Zedong, if North Korean scientists made a bomb for Kim Jong Il, and if Iraqi scientists were working on a bomb for Saddam Hussein, why would Iranian scientists hesitate to make one for Khamenei?
Barring a miraculous collapse of Khamenei's regime in some kind of political aftershock, this situation shifts the global initiative to the politically precarious government in Israel presided over by Benjamin Netanyahu. It's no secret that a bombing raid on Iran's nuclear infrastructure has been under discussion in Israel, and it's said that such a raid already would have taken place if George W. Bush hadn't vetoed it. Now, the frozen grip on power of Iran's isolated extremists will surely make the bombing option more compelling to the Israelis: When negotiations seem impossible, bombing always looks more attractive, and the world would hardly have much sympathy for the bloodstained mullahs at the moment.
However, most experts think that Israeli bombs can only defer, not prevent, Iran's accession to the nuclear club. One can imagine Israeli hawks arguing that making Iran rebuild a bombed enrichment facility will buy time so that a more reasonable Iranian regime can emerge. But it's unlikely to work that way. The history of bombing campaigns shows that they usually produce a rally-around-the-flag effect, strengthening domestic support for the regime that's bombed. An Israeli bombing, then, would probably slow progress on an Iranian bomb while prolonging the regime that seeks it.
If the future looks bleak, it seems in retrospect as if the United States may have missed an opportunity to strike some kind of grand bargain with Tehran during the Bush administration--either after 9/11 or when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was first elected. Instead, we placed Iran in the "axis of evil." We can only wonder about the path not taken, but the path we are on now is fading into darkness.

SAN RAMON -- In a disclosure that could keep gasoline prices at high levels for months to come, Chevron said Tuesday that the crude unit damaged in the Aug. 6 fire at the energy giant's Richmond refinery will remain closed through the end of this year.
The unsettling disclosure was made as part of Chevron's regular interim update on its earnings results. "The Richmond crude unit is expected to remain offline through the fourth quarter of 2012," Chevron said.
San Ramon-based Chevron has operated the Richmond refinery at about 60 percent capacity since the fire. The crude unit is considered to be the heart of the refinery because it distills crude oil into fuels such as gasoline.
"U.S. refinery crude-input volumes decreased by 92,000 barrels per day compared to the second quarter, largely reflecting the shutdown of the Richmond refinery crude unit," Chevron said.
Montana-based economist and energy market consultant Bob van der Valk said he thinks Chevron will decide to permanently halt crude oil processing at the hobbled refinery.
"I'm officially calling the Richmond plant as being dead on arrival as a crude oil refinery," van der Valk said in an interview. "Chevron will just blend gasoline and bring in components for that. It could be more efficient for Chevron to do that."
Although gasoline prices fell Tuesday in the Bay Area and statewide, van der Valk and other analysts believe the relief will be short-lived, especially if the Richmond refinery remains at reduced production levels and other refineries suffer hiccups on the West Coast.
"This is just a taste of the higher prices we can expect in California," van der Valk said.

Motorist faces multiple charges
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:07 a.m.
A man who reportedly fought with clerks and threw merchandise around a Gibson convenience store Wednesday night was arrested after a Terrebonne deputy stopped his fleeing car.
Yohar "Tito" Castillo, 37, Metairie, was charged with third offense DWI, resisting an officer, reckless operation, no driver's license, speeding and open alcohol container in vehicle, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
The deputy, responding to a 911 call from 6460 N. Bayou Black Drive, met Castillo's speeding eastbound Dodge Neon on two-lane La. 20, passing other eastbound cars and forcing oncoming westbound traffic, including the deputy, off the road to avoid head-on collisions.
The deputy turned and chased down the car, found Castillo aggressive and uncooperative, fighting and attempting to flee until the deputy deployed his Taser, the report said. The deputy found two open beer containers inside Castillo's vehicle.
Castillo was transported to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center for evaluation, where the aggression, fighting and resistance reportedly continued, despite the presence of Acadian Medics, State Police, Thibodaux Police and hospital security, the report said.

I was wondering why Triathlon bikes don't put brakes on the aero bars. It seems like a simple enough mechanical change and was hoping someone out there knew why the brakes didn't move with the shifters.
The simple answer is that they are attached to the aerobars. I think you mean why aren't they on the extensions with the shifters. Aerobars are usually set up this way: A bar is attached to the stem; this bar is either flat on top or a round bar like typical road bars. Instead of having drop bars curving down like a typiical road bike it curves forward and generally a bit up at the ends. The brake levers attach to the end of the bars. Your extensions with armrests are either an integrated part of the bars or an attachment. The shift levers are at the end of these extensions. Now, I suppose someone could design a brake/shift system for the extension ends but I see a couple of problems with it. First, if you have to brake it is safer to have your hands at the furthest extent to the side for stability. Why are you braking in a TT? Usually on corners or downhills where control is paramount. Second, I would guess from an aero perspective, having this kind of shifter on the extensions may be slightly "dirty" compared to the current setups. Finally, as most people in TT position have their hands wrapped around the shift levers or right behind them, it is easier to shift with your finger than taking your hands off the bar to push a lever (in road bike position, hands on hoods is easy to push the levers in).
With the advent of electronic shifting, I could see doing away with the shift levers on the extensions and moving the brake levers there (although again you want greater stability when braking) and using buttons for electronic shifting.
HED has a third break system in which you have an adaptor that puts the third break lever at the extensions for the rear break. I will say, not needed.

Thanks for the help. I am still getting use to the bars, and I see your points in a solo race scenario as they were designed for.
It still seems potentially useful in a practice scenario, where the roads aren't closed and things happen. Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it.
One more reason: physics. When you brake, you keep going forward while your wheels are slowing down. That creates a torque that could flip you over the handlebars, and the best way to avoid this is to keep your center of mass back. In aero position your center of mass is too far forward, so if you applied much braking force you'd go right over. If you pay attention while braking, you'll notice that you move back on the seat naturally, which you can't do in the bars. I haven't seen this HED 3rd brake system, but braking with the rear wheel creates much less torque, although it's also less effective at slowing you down.
Thank you so much for your post.

STOCKTON – Police officers responded about 7:35 p.m. Wednesday to witness reports of shots fired and someone being hit near Porterfield Court and Porter Avenue but couldn't locate a victim.
The witnesses heard several gunshots and then someone scream, "Help me. I've been shot," but all officers could find at the scene were two expended shell casings and one expended bullet. There was no evidence present to indicate anyone had been shot, police reported.
A blue sport utility vehicle was seen leaving the area and may be linked to the incident, according to a report.

New Survey Spotlights Women's Knowledge, Misperceptions
About Birth Control Options and Effectiveness
American College of Nurse-Midwives survey finds that health providers are not adequately communicating with women about their birth control options, methods
Silver Spring, MD – Despite the broad range of options available to women for birth control and family planning, a survey of more than 1200 US women between 18 and 45 released today by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) shows that women do not feel knowledgeable about many of these options and have harmful misperceptions about their effectiveness. The survey also found that many women don't feel they are able to have in-depth conversations with their health care providers to make well-informed decisions on birth control and family planning.
"The survey provides really interesting considerations for both women and health care providers in the area of birth control and family planning," said Lisa Kane Low, CNM, PhD, FACNM, a practicing midwife and member of the ACNM committee that developed the survey. "For example, while women are encouraged to seek out and obtain the information they need to make sound decisions on contraception, and when or if they have a family, it's incumbent on health care providers to create an environment where women feel comfortable opening up to them about their needs," Low said. "If more options and their effectiveness are shared with women in an in-depth manner, women could be better informed and more confident in their decisions about which birth control best meets their unique needs."
"These survey findings are especially timely given the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which enables more women to have access to contraceptive services," said ACNM President Ginger Breedlove, CNM, PhD, FACNM. "As health care providers, we have a critical role to play in discussing all forms of birth control options and services by providing attentive and engaging patient-provider discussions so women can make optimal choices around contraception and family planning, and avoid unintended pregnancies."
Forty percent of women surveyed said they did not receive in-depth counsel or information from their health care provider about how to use the type of birth control they were prescribed. While most said they were knowledgeable about abstinence (70%), only a little more than half of women said they were very knowledgeable about condoms (55%) and less than half of women said they were very knowledgeable about birth control pills (49%), the withdrawal method (43%), and tubal ligation (28%). Only 21% of women said they were very knowledgeable about intrauterine devices (IUDs) and 17% were very knowledgeable about hormonal implants, recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its 2011 report, "Effectiveness of Family Planning Methods," as 2 of the most effective forms of birth control. Fewer than 1 in 100 pregnancies occur in women who use either an IUD or implant.
Although 64% of women said their health care provider presented them with multiple birth control options, some women were concerned about the information provided and how the conversations took place. One in 10 women said they felt pressured to choose one type of birth control method over another, 1 in 10 women shared that they had questions they felt they were unable to ask, and another 1 in 10 women felt their health provider made assumptions about them that led their provider to prescribe a certain type of birth control.
Many women also report concerning misperceptions about the effectiveness of various birth control options in preventing unplanned pregnancy. When presented with a list of 16 birth control options, 57% of the women surveyed ranked birth control pills as the most effective, while 43% said condoms were the most effective. When asked which type they used the most, the top 3 forms were birth control pills (27%), followed by condoms (20%), and withdrawal (13%). Despite their proven effectiveness, the survey found only 2% of women using hormonal implants and 6% of women using IUDs as their form of birth control.
While condoms are effective in preventing sexually transmitted infections and birth control pills can be highly effective in preventing pregnancy for some women, according to the CDC 2011 report, 18-21% of women relying on condoms will become pregnant and 9% of women taking birth control will become pregnant. The CDC also reports that the withdrawal method—the third most prevalent form of birth control among survey respondents—results in unintended pregnancy for 22% of women.
"These data show a clear correlation between what women perceive to be the most effective types of birth control and what types they are actually using. Unfortunately, in many cases these perceptions are not entirely accurate and are not supported by the evidence," Breedlove said. "Women deserve complete and practical information delivered in positive, respectful conversations by an engaging health care professional. If we can create an environment of healthy dialogue and shared decision making, we can help change perceptions so women make educated choices that are best suited to their needs."
Another clear finding of the survey was a gap in knowledge about who provides birth control and family planning services. Only 26% of women were aware that certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) offer family planning and birth control services, despite this being a specialty for the profession. Additionally fewer than 5% of the women reported that they had consulted a CNM or CM to make a decision about which type of birth control best suits their needs.
Midwives are uniquely positioned to address this identified knowledge and service gap in birth control and family planning for US women. While there are a full range of health care providers who offer birth control and family planning services, Breedlove said midwives are experts in this area and are an underutilized resource. Midwives serve as partners in their clients' health care, and provide personalized services tailored to each woman's unique needs—a care style that is especially suited to assist women in making important birth control and family planning decisions.
"While we are well-known as maternity care providers, CNMs and CMs provide a broad range of vital health care services to women through the lifespan, including guidance and counsel on birth control, and prescribing all types of contraception," Breedlove said. "We listen to women and help them figure out what works for them at 18, 30, or 50—whatever their stage of life. Using an evidence-based model of care coupled with our education and training regarding family planning and contraception, midwives can help narrow this significant and harmful gap in family planning services for women."
Because the ACA improves coverage for services related to sexual and reproductive health, Breedlove said its implementation will also afford women greater access to midwives, who specialize in providing these services. "As the ACA is implemented, many women will gain access to coverage for reproductive health services that they never have had before. This presents a real opportunity to do more to improve women's knowledge about and access to effective family planning options. Midwives are experts in providing these services which are vitally important to women's health," Breedlove said.
In a separate survey conducted by ACNM last year, women reported that despite stating satisfaction with their current health care providers and services, women were not truly receiving the services they wanted and were not having the in-depth conversations necessary to receive optimal care. Both surveys were distributed as part of ACNM's ongoing Our Moment of Truth campaign, launched last year to encouragewomen to actively engage and participate in managing their health and learn more about the full range of available options, including the evidence-based, woman-centered care of midwives from puberty through menopause.
Survey Methodology
ACNM's 2013 Survey on Women's Health Care Experiences & Perceptions: Spotlight on Family Planning & Contraception was programmed and fielded through GMI-Lightspeed Research during August 2013. The online survey link was distributed to and completed by 1224 women between the ages of 18 and 45, comprising a representative sample of US demographics for this age group, including race, income level, and geographic distribution.

PARKERSBURG - Mayor Bob Newell said he plans to ask Parkersburg City Council to fund part of a feasibility study for a proposed Frontier League Baseball team.
Newell said he recently spoke with Sam Winans and Joe Campbell, local officials with the sports arm of the Wood County Economic Development Authority working on the deal, about the study.
Officials from the Frontier League and the Washington (Pa.) Wild Things have made several trips this year to the area to meet with officials about the possibility of creating a franchise in Parkersburg.
Earlier this summer officials had a series of public meetings in the region to explain the idea and measure public support. The move has been met with enthusiasm. But little has been done - aside from a series of public meetings.
The mayor, like other officials, said he does not want public money going into a stadium.
Newell said the study needs to be done before officials can proceed.
"This is a necessary step and it has to be done before anything else can go forward," he said.
The first step in the project is a two-part feasibility study that would cost upward of $50,000. The first part of the study would cost another $25,000.
Newell said he plans to ask council for $10,000 to help fund the feasibility study. The item will be up for consideration at city council's Dec. 18, meeting, the final meeting of the year and for the current makeup of council. Four new members - Roger Brown, Kim Coram, JR Carpenter and John Kelly - take office next month.
Newell said if approved the money would come from the city's Capital Reserve fund. The money would go to the economic development authority. When all the money needed for the study is there, the authority would hire a consultant to perform the study.
"That's the entire reason we have the Capital Reserve fund - to spur economic development," Newell said. "This baseball issue is not just about baseball. It is about spurring economic development."

Single-use technology for bioreactors has come a long way during the past 25 years, yet some of its capabilities remain to be exploited. Equipment manufacturers have adopted the technology as if it were an evolutionary step, but it is, in fact, revolutionary. Current offerings in single-use technologies often are not presented this way, however.
Single-use bioreactors currently follow one of two general formats. In one of these, the single-use components are used as linings for stainless-steel tanks. In a second model, a flexible bag is affixed to a rocker system that helps aerate and mix components inside the bag (1–3). Both of these models limit the value of single use systems, however.
Equipment manufacturers conduct extensive exercises to chart the future of bioprocessing methods, but the real judge of what is needed is the consumer. The development of large-scale bioreactors for the manufacture of commercial quantities of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines at an affordable cost and with a short development time would fill an unmet need. Therapeutic Proteins is looking at ways to meet this demand by incorporating a comprehensive bioprocessing unit capable of upstream and downstream processing inside a single bag without any moving parts. The company has filed or received dozens of US and worldwide patents for these inventions. In this way, the company hopes to spur the further evolution of single-use technologies.

About the Book
"Brian McLaren is a bridge builder. In these simple yet profound spiritual practices he perfectly marries his evangelical heart and contemplative soul, and we are all richer for the union." —Cynthia Bourgeault, author of Centering Prayer and The Wisdom Jesus
In the same way he revitalized our faith in A New Kind of Christianity, church leader Brian McLaren reinvigorates our approach to spiritual fulfillment in Naked Spirituality—by tearing down the old dogmatic practices that hamper our spiritual growth, and leading us toward the meaningful spiritual practices that can help transform our lives.
Christianity is in crisis. Many sincere Christians feel their traditional Christian practices are in danger of becoming irrelevant, empty rituals. In his previous book A New Kind of Christianity, Brian D. McLaren offered new biblical models for how we understand the central ideas of a faith that provides hope for restoring and reinvigorating the power of the gospels to transform us and our communities.
In Naked Spirituality, McLaren takes his prophetic work a step further by confronting how the lack of a simple, doable, durable spirituality undermines the very transformation God is calling us to undergo. As a result, our religious structures become tools to maintain the status quo and not catalysts for personal and social change. McLaren presents a four-stage framework for understanding the spiritual life, and he unfolds spiritual practices appropriate to each stage. Each practice is rooted in a simple word: here, thanks, O, sorry, help, please, when, no, why, behold, yes, and silence. Naked Spirituality offers accessible, practical wisdom for living a truly spiritual life. Staying true to Jesus's core message while engaging faithfully with our postmodern world, McLaren presents a proven spiritual program for engaging in and sustaining a meaningful relationship with God.

Mouse Model of Autism?! (Isn't that insulting?! What's the point?! Do mice get autism?)
These are immediate reactions from parents of children living with autism spectrum disorders when I begin to explain our research. They are very valid, insightful, and important questions.
My laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, in collaboration with Luis Parada, Ph.D. at UT Southwestern and Thomas Südhof, M.D. at Stanford University, studies genetic mouse models of autism. Our primary goal is to identify how autism-linked genetic differences alter brain function, and how that in turn leads to atypical behaviors relevant to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Once we understand the brain function differences that result from a genetic mutation, we then correct the functional problem with drugs and test the drug's ability to reverse or "treat" the behavioral differences in the genetic mouse model of ASD.
Alterations or mutations in certain genes are known to be one cause of ASD. This means that the genetic alteration leads to behavioral differences in people with autism. This is relatively straightforward to study in humans. It is much more difficult to study what is different about brain function in children and adults with ASD.
Because mice have most of the same genes as humans, we are able to re-create in a mouse model the human genetic difference that causes some cases of ASD. The goal is not to create an autistic mouse per se, but rather to determine how the mutation leads to ASD-relevant behavioral differences in the mouse. If we simply create the autism genetic mutation in a mouse and demonstrate that the mouse has decreased social interaction or repetitive behaviors or other behavioral differences, that tells us that the mutation leads to behavioral differences. Of course, we already know that the genetic mutation causes behavioral differences in humans, so that doesn't get us very far alone. We must then ask how the genetic mutation alters brain function, something we cannot study easily in humans. To do this, we measure neuron activity in the brains of the mice. This tells us precisely how brain function is altered by the genetic mutation. Knowing this allows us to use drugs to revert brain function back to typical function. Once these drugs are identified, we then examine the drug's effect on the atypical behaviors in the very same mouse model to determine if the drug can revert the atypical behavior to more typical behavior. Reverting atypical behaviors into more typical behaviors is an important goal for many patients with autism and their families.
Some examples:
Our recent publication on Feb. 10, 2010 in the Journal of Neuroscience (http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/utsw/cda/dept353744/files/577306.html or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20147539?itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum&ordinalpos=1 ) examined mice with a deletion of the autism-linked gene neuroligin-1. These mice show repetitive behaviors, one of the core diagnostic features of autism, and learning problems, a feature sometimes associated with ASD. By examining the synaptic connections between neurons in the brains of these mice, we determined that neuronal communication at synapses involving the neurotransmitter glutamate is reduced in this model. Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. A drug, D-cycloserine, that enhances communication at glutamate-sensitive synapses reduced the obsessive behavior in the animals, suggesting a potential way to treat repetitive behaviors in humans. D-cylcoserine has already been used in a small pilot study in autism patients with suggestion of beneficial effects (), though further studies are warranted. We are now beginning to test other drugs under development at pharmaceutical companies that may affect this same aspect of brain function and may also treat these atypical repetitive behaviors.
In an interesting twist, similar repetitive behavioral differences were also observed in neurexin-1a mutant mice, a study published in Oct. 2009 that was identified by Autism Speaks as one of the Top Ten Research Achievements of 2009. We are now beginning to examine the specific alterations in brain function in the neurexin model and to determine if the same drugs are effective at reducing obsessive, repetitive behaviors in this model. Our hope is that by examining multiple genetic models of autism, we can find a common difference in brain function that will lead to more general treatments for patients with autism who desire such treatment. At the very least, the drugs we identify are important candidates for treating those patients with the specific genetic cause of autism under study.
We are also continuing to study a genetic model based on mutations in the neuroligin 3 gene. These mice do not have repetitive behaviors, but instead exhibit mild social interaction differences. This study was published in the journal Science in 2007 and was also identified by Autism Speaks as one of the Top 10 Autism Research Achievements of that year. Along with the laboratory of our collaborator, Dr. Südhof at Stanford, we are examining several important aspects of brain function in this model including how other genes may interact with the mutation to alter the behavioral differences, how the mutation leads to abnormal brain function, and how we might begin to treat this abnormal brain function.
Last, but not least, in close collaboration with Dr. Parada here at UT Southwestern, we have characterized a genetic model based on brain-specific deletion of the PTEN gene, a gene associated with autism in children with brain overgrowth or "macrocephaly". Again, this publication in the journal Neuron was among a group of findings identified by Autism Speaks as a Top 10 Autism Research Event. This initial publication established this mutant mouse as a model for autism with social interaction differences, anxiety, frequent seizures, and abnormally large heads, brains, and nerve cells. Through our understanding of the brain molecules altered by this genetic mutation, we have since successfully used an FDA-approved drug to "treat" the behavioral differences, the seizures, and the brain and nerve cell structural changes. This finding was published in the Journal of Neuroscience in Feb. 2009. This drug is now being tested by other researchers in patients with Tuberous Sclerosis, a genetic disorder with an unusually high incidence of ASD.
What does the future hold for genetic autism model research? As human geneticists identify additional genes responsible for some cases of autism, we must continue to study how these mutations alter brain function in animal models. By understanding the relationship between the mutations and altered brain function, something we can only test using animal models, additional treatment targets can be identified to help children and families with autism who are interested in this approach.

Hey all,
my PS3 is giving me DLNA protocol errors. These errors occur either when I try to browse the server via PS3, or start the stream aka try to watch something.
This happens approximitely 70% of the times I try to use the server, if not more.
I try to run the server on freshly booted system, with nothing else than anti-virus (and the server) started.
The instructions I found via Google about the error message didnt help.
The exact error message is "A DLNA protocol error (2006) has occured".
Here's my setup which I'm running PS3 Media Server on:
Inter Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66Ghz
Windows Vista Enterprise 32bit with SP1
D-Link DWL-G122 Wireless USB network adapter
D-Link DI-524 Wireless Router
PS3 is 80GB version with System Software version 2.60, connected to WLAN
Any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks in advance
