News 12 First at Five / Monday, May 20, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- With lake levels higher than they've been in years and summer temperatures heading our way, you may be itching to get out on the water.
But, before you do, Sandie Craig wants you to hear her husband's story, proving why safety should always be first.
It's been two and a half years since her husband left for a fishing trip and never returned.
She remembers every detail of that day, saying, "I talked to him about 12:30, and he said he couldn't get over to where he normally fishes because the water was so bad and choppy."
Crews searched Lake Thurmond for an entire month before his body surfaced. His wife has been handling his boating accident the best way she knows how.
"One day at a time. I mean, there's not a day, a moment, a second that goes by that I don't think about him."
With summer knocking on the door, a lot of folks are preparing to get out on the boat. Craig says there's nothing wrong with that, but she wants to make sure everyone makes the trip back home.
"When I was at Walmart the other week, I was checking out, and a guy came up behind me. He had some oil for the boat and a life jacket, and I turned around and told him, you don't know how important that is," Craig said.
She says her husband, Scotty, wasn't wearing a life jacket when he went missing, and there was also a lake wind advisory that day.
"Take lake wind advisories serious. It's not a joke. It's there for a reason," she said.
Craig has taken her husband's story a step further, making sure others don't meet the same fate. She and Scotty's family have been collecting life jackets.
"We're donating them to the lake, to the welcome center," she said.
She says she hopes as you get ready to head out on the water this summer that you'll remember her husband's story.
"Take the lake serious. It's a privilege. It's nothing to play with," Craig said.
If you'd like to donate a life vest to the cause, you can contact Sandie Craig at email@example.com.

Well, it's been a while since we did a post on development news, and we do have a few exciting things we are working on. First and foremost is the continued development toward getting GhostBSD 4.0 released - this is a constant project and we are constantly making improvements and fixing bugs with each release.
As far as development project go, we are working on a peice of software for Google Drive that would fit seamlessly in with the OS - this project is kind of on the backburner for the time being (probably until 4.0 gets officially released).

Intel Discloses Power Savings of Next Chip Line
A lot is riding on Haswell Intel code name for the next big generational shift in its flagship chip line. The company on Thursday provided a peek at some of its benefits, particularly in reduced power consumption.
Intel told reporters that the new chip family draws 50% less power than the current members of its Core processor line on "active" workloads, such as watching a movie or playing a videogame.
More impressive, the company says, is how well Haswell does in an "idle" state, also known as "standby" mode–an area Intel has historically lagged products based on designs from ARM Holdings, which dominate tablets and smartphones.
Haswell, the fourth generation of Intel's Core line, in idle mode offers two to three times the battery life of the current Core chips, the company says. Its standby power consumption was described as 20 times lower than Intel's 2011 Core line, known as Sandy Bridge.
"This means that the fourth-generation Core-based products will provide the biggest battery life increase in Intel's history," said Rani Borkar, a vice president and general manager in Intel's architecture group.
Borkar said chips in the family would draw as little as seven watts, down from a prior minimum of 10 watts for the Core line. She did not estimate battery life in terms of hours, but said a user could likely watch three movies on a battery charge–and movies of an ample "Bollywood" length.
The power gains do not come at the expense of performance, Intel says. By making improvements to the company's most advanced production process–which creates transistors with unusual three-dimensional features–the Haswell chips can operate at the same frequencies as prior products while drawing less power, said Kaizad Mistry, a vice president in Intel's manufacturing technology group.
Haswell arrives at a time the PC industry is badly in need of some more excitement, as consumers have been directing more of their spending toward tablets and smartphones. Borkar said its power savings should help computer makers design laptops and convertible devices that are thinner and lighter, offering "the power of a PC in form factors you love," as slides in her presentation put it.
The disclosures Thursday are not the formal unveiling of the Haswell line, which is expected at the Computex trade show next month. The event in Taiwan is often used by PC makers and their suppliers to show off their next products. Rival Advanced Micro Devices opted to provide details of its next set of mobile chips this week, ahead of the show.

Union deputies charge Jonesville mayor with solicitation for prostitution
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9:56 p.m.
Jonesville Mayor Ernest B. Moore, Jr. was arrested by Union County Sheriff's Office investigators Thursday and charged with solicitation for prostitution according to a written statement from Kim R. Bailey, administrative assistant to Union County Sheriff David H. Taylor.
An "undercover operative" advised officers of a pre-arranged meeting with Moore, after which investigators set up audio and video equipment to record the meeting, according to the statement.
Investigators confronted Moore after he offered to pay for a sexual act. A warrant for Moore's arrest on solicitation of prostitution was issued and Moore turned himself into the Union County Jail, according to the statement.

We've learned to be resilient
I know Rodgers likes us to play like the 'Harlem Globetrotters' as he puts it, bt it was good to see us digging in in the second half. It wasn't exactly grinding out a result be ause of the way we played first half, but I was very impressed with the tactical discipline of the boys, and Johnson in particular.
It's good to know we don't seem to have a soft underbelly anymore!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I didn't like 1 minute of that second half, or the tactics / approach that buck decided to implement there. While we definitely showed we were able to be physical and resilient, along with weathering pressure in the box, he basically said for the final 25-30, we're just going to absorb what we can and hold what we have..
It played right to a strength of Villa, and I would have brought on at least 1 if not 2, offensively skilled players to help push them back some, and catch a counter attack. Villa like to play somewhat attractive football, and if we did that at the Brittania, West Ham, or even someone in the top half, even while nullifying some of the wide play, we'll blow a lead, and or lose.
I think it also showed we are a very thin squad particularly out wide, and selling Downing without having a replacement ready, or who could emulate his game, was a mistake and will be until we get someone in, which I have my fears about as the days tick by.. 6/6, and 3pts is 3pts, but we could have done it much easier, Villa simply could not handle our first 45, and movement..

I disagree Jason. On the one hand the second half had me nervous as a kitten thinking it will take one good bit of skill to undo all the fine football in the first half, but I think the tactical change actually took away Villa's best game rather than playing into their hands.
Yes they've got some skillful players who can play, but their real strength is their speed and the counter attack. By letting them have the ball we did what they like to do to other teams. We invited them to break us down, which they could not, while we kept the option of the counter attack. Also, by compacting the pitch, we took away the space they need to take advantage of their speed. Yes Benteke was still a handful (and no tactic will neutralize that) but Weinmann had little to feed on, and Agbonlahor was stuck making short little passes rather than having anything to run onto.
Arsenal thought they could play around Villa for a full 90 minutes and got themselves slapped down by being too open. Chelsea also, with all their quality in midfield also almost got burnt (and between the yellow that could have been red, and Terry flapping his wing it well could have been decisive). Put it into the context of what we know Villa can do, I think BR got this spot on. Out of the gates early when they most likely expected us to sit back, then turned the table as soon as they started to show any real intent.
One other point I'll call out is how impressed I was with Sturridge. Not for the goal which everyone was shouting about, and does deserve some acclaim, but more for the amount of times he tracked back in the second half. He spent more time wide right, and kept with his runner, or even popped up as the critical player on the edge of our own box a number of times. It showed me that the lad has bought into the team mentality rather than just being the centre forward, which bodes well when Suarez comes back when he'll inevitably be asked to carry some water as well as score a few goals.

Some athletes say that creatine monohydrate helps build muscle mass and improves performance and delays muscle fatigue during short-duration, high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting or weight lifting.
Creatine is best for the serious bodybuilder. It helps increase muscle mass, rather than muscle endurance, so it's not well suited for athletes participating in endurance activities. However, the increase in muscle mass may be due to water retention and not an increase in muscle tissue.

Asheville man accused of peeping at minors
Forensic analysis of suspect's computer revealed video of girls in shower
Published: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 10:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 10:01 a.m.
An Asheville man has been charged with secretly using or installing a photographic device in violation of state peeping statutes after investigators found inappropriate videos of minors on his computer.
Robert Lee Daniel Hughes, 41, turned himself in Tuesday at the Henderson County Detention Facility, and was released after posting $4,500 secured bond. His first court appearance was scheduled for Wednesday.
Hughes is accused of surreptitiously recording video of girls under the age of 16 in the shower at a private home, according to Chief Deputy Frank Stout with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office. He was charged with secretly using or installing a photographic imaging device to arouse or gratify sexual desire, and possessing a photographic image obtained in violation of the peeping statute.
Hughes was charged after the Sheriff's Office Violent Crimes Unit investigated a complaint and a forensic analysis of Hughes' computer was conducted.

PESCADERO -- More than 900 acres of picturesque coastal hills and farmland will be preserved from possible development into luxury homes under a major acquisition announced this week by the Peninsula Open Space Trust.
The trust paid $9.96 million for the land, known as Butano Farms, which has been used for ranching as well as vegetable and flower production for the past century. The northern end of the property frames tiny downtown Pescadero, whose rustic environs are increasingly desirable to Silicon Valley multimillionaires who want to own a seaside retreat.
The land will be incorporated into Cloverdale Coastal Ranches, a 5,800-acre property just to the south also owned by the trust. The purchase creates an open space corridor -- and may one day allow for a public trail -- that stretches roughly 10 miles from Pescadero State Beach to Año Nuevo State Reserve.
Walter Moore, president of the trust, said Butano Farms is one of POST's most significant purchases of the past 10 years. The deal, he said, accomplishes several things.
"It represents everything we're trying to do," Moore said. "Protecting scenic beauty and wildlife habitat, preserving farmland to produce locally grown food, and providing linkages between protected lands that benefit both people and wildlife."
In addition to vast slopes for cattle grazing and 53 acres of prime agricultural soil, Butano Farms features a unique 140-acre willow marsh, a dense tangle of woods surrounding a 1.6-mile portion of Butano Creek that serves as habitat for threatened steelhead and waterfowl. The trust plans to protect this area while allowing agriculture to continue elsewhere on the property.
The trust purchased the land Dec. 12 from the Dias family, whose patriarch, John Dias Sr., came to the United States as a child in 1885 from the Azores Islands. The remaining members of the family sold to the trust rather than seek more money on the open market.
The land would have been highly attractive for development, according to the trust, because San Mateo County regulations would have permitted the construction of as many as 10 homes. The property's interior hilltops yield sweeping ocean views but cannot be seen from roads below, a rare combination of expansiveness and privacy that would have been irresistible to luxury home seekers.
"You'd be amazed at the views up there," Bill Ray, a Dias family heir, said in a statement. "They're incredible."
Those vistas will now be incorporated into a massive, and growing, belt of protected open space along the southern San Mateo County coast, just 25 to 30 miles by car from the economic powerhouse of Silicon Valley.
"It really demonstrates why this is such an extraordinary place to live," Moore said. "The balance and harmony between those settings is what we're trying to keep vibrant."

Choir has serenaded nursing homes for 28 years
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 10:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 10:50 a.m.
For a nursing home, it sure was rowdy Tuesday morning.
A group of about 20 musicians in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s — many as old as some of the nursing home residents for whom they were singing — filled the usually quiet Lafourche Home For the Aged with the sounds of a piano, a washboard, a saxophone and their voices, just as they have for years.
The choir performs at one of four nursing homes in the area every Tuesday morning, and they have done so for 28 years, said Julie Prado, who accompanies the choir every week on the piano.
"These are all just good, good people who want to bring some joy, some satisfaction" to the people at the nursing home, Prado said.
"There may be Alzheimer's victims in the audience, but you see them singing along," remembering the lyrics, she said.
About 30 people gathered around tables to hear the choir Tuesday.
"They love music," the home's activities director Anne Cancienne said. "Music is one of their favorite activities. It brings them to life."
Most of the people in the Sing-Along Nursing Home Singers, as Prado calls the group, are in their 80s, Prado said. While some of them are trained musicians, not all are. The choir has a repertoire of close to 200 songs.
As the choir members filed into the nursing home and stood near the piano Tuesday, chatting with each other and the nursing home residents, Prado suddenly played the opening lines of a song and everyone fell into formation before belting out the lyrics.
When they sang "When the Saints Go Marching In," choir members marched around with flags as the residents clapped and tapped their feet to the music.
"They remember the past better and the things they might have experienced early in life. So we try to sing things from the '30s, the '40s," Prado said.
Mary Anne Hoffmann, 82, who founded the choir, says she has witnessed the power their music can have.
Years ago at Audubon Health and Rehab, Hoffmann said she convinced a guest to bring an infirm resident out to watch the choir in her bed. The woman wasn't able to communicate and couldn't feed herself, Hoffmann said.
Hoffmann asked one of the members to sing right next to her while the choir sang.
"I can't believe it — she was mouthing the words," Hoffmann recalled the choir member telling her afterward.
"The next time it got a little better," Hoffmann said. "The song we made contact with was 'America' — 'My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty.' From then on, she started really singing, not just mouthing the words."
Audubon is the nursing home where Hoffmann's mother lived and where the choir was founded, Hoffmann said.
"I went in one day to see her, and she said we need to have some music in here. She wouldn't take no for an answer. I was a teacher, my husband and I started Hofman Music on Jackson Street. So my time was really constrained. But she said, 'You're going to find time to do it,' " Hoffmann recalled, laughing.

Former South Lake Tahoe City Councilwoman Brooke Laine will take over the City Council seat vacated by Claire Fortier in December.
On Tuesday, the City Council appointed Laine to serve the remainder of Fortier's term, which lasts through December 2014.
Laine was born and raised at the South Shore and works as a customer service manager at Bank of the West.
She previously served on the council from 1998 to 2002. City Councilman Hal Cole credited her with helping make the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena a reality. She was chosen over eight other applicants for the position, including former City Council members Kathay Lovell, Bill Crawford and Bruce Grego, as well as recent council candidate Austin Sass.
The City Council interviewed the applicants at their Tuesday meeting, asking questions about candidates' knowledge of issues like the city budget, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and environmental sustainability.
In deciding between the applicants, several council members said they wanted someone with experience who would be able get up to speed quickly and have some knowledge of important upcoming issues like Area Plans within the city and a proposed recreation master plan.
City Councilwoman Kathay Lovell was the council's second choice for the seat. The council voted on appointing Lovell, but she did not attract the three votes necessary for the appointment.
Laine said she applied for the seat because she is passionate about the South Lake Tahoe community and, with her two sons at school, felt like she was ready to jump back into civic life.
"I felt like it was the right time," Laine said. "I was looking for a change."
When asked what her priorities were for the next year and a half, Laine responded, "economy, economy, economy." She did not offer any specifics about improving the South Shore's business environment, but hoped to offer details soon.
Laine has vowed to run for a full term when her appointment is up, acknowledging some voters in the city felt they were disenfranchised by the appointment process.
"I owe them that opportunity," Laine said.
She welcomed comments from people and said she looks forward to working with the community at large.
"I will do what is the best interest of the public. Always," Laine said.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---The spotlight is about to fall on Augusta. We're just days away from the Masters, and the clock is ticking for all those finishing touches.
Everyone along Washington Road is gearing up for a busy weekend-- especially when it comes to traffic in and around those hotels.
People are rolling into Augusta as we speak. Traffic is starting to pick up and many people, including hotel managers, call Friday the calm before the storm.
The countdown is on...are you ready for the masters? "It wouldn't hurt me to have another few days, but we'll be there," says Stan Creswell, the General Manager for Augusta's Hampton Inn.
Hotels around town have been waiting for this weekend for months, so you can bet they're excited.
"It's a lot of hard work, but we have fun. The guests that come in for it, they're in a festive mood, they're here for a good time and we're ready for them," says Creswell.
"The people that come into town are really nice, we enjoy them. It's one of the best times of the year," adds Linda Gregory, the General Manager for Augusta's Sleep Inn.
They say Friday might be a little dead, but just give it a few hours. Some hotels say they make more in this one week than they do in one month.
"Today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) will be pretty calm but then Sunday...It goes crazy," says Gregory.
This year the added guests have the city adding traffic changes around town. In the mornings patrons will be using Stanley Drive, instead of Berckmans to park. And no more cutting through Alexander Drive to get to and from Washington Road.
The city says if you're trying to avoid the mess all together, your best bet will be to use River Watch Parkway. Of course, everyone-- including the hotels has a plan.
"We've been planning for a while, and now it's time to execute it," says Creswell.
With a touch of golf here, and a new TV there...everyone is putting their best foot forward. "You want it to look good because it represents the whole town of Augusta," says Gregory.
Even though the week will sure mean long hours, these hotels are up for the challenge. "Hard work-- I'll probably work 16 hours a day or more that week but it's fun," says
"You want them to like it so much they come back some times besides masters," says Gregory.

'Hobbit' sequels wrap up filming in New Zealand
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 7:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 7:35 a.m.
SYDNEY (AP) — Peter Jackson has wrapped up filming "The Hobbit" trilogy and shared pictures of his last day on the set with his Facebook fans.
The New Zealand filmmaker provided a steady stream of updates and photos from the set of the final film, "The Hobbit: There And Back Again," on Friday. The second film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," will be released in December, and the finale appears in 2014.
The director posted pictures of dwarves, crew members and actor Martin Freeman, who plays the protagonist, hobbit Bilbo Baggins. The photo updates began and ended with pictures of Jackson's cat, Mr. Smudge. The final photo shows the director and feline cuddling, along with the caption: "A long day. A great day. Thank you all for being part of it! Now for some sleep!"
"The Hobbit," based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel of the same name, is the prequel to Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings." It follows Baggins' adventures as he tries to help a group of dwarves regain their wealth and stature from the dragon Smaug.
The first film in the trilogy, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," opened in December 2012 and surpassed $1 billion in box-office receipts worldwide.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, March 12, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta's municipal building is about to get a $40 million makeover. The city administrator says they've already ordered boxes to start packing up.
"It was determined that it would not be cost affected to phase it as this point. There's a need to fix the handicap access and fire codes," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
Russell is talking about the $40 million renovation project for the municipal building. Commissioners voted it through with a 7 to 1 vote.
The renovations include updating the elevators, more handicap access and changing the entrance, among other things.
"I think the money that will be spent on this building is all about doing right for the city. The residents do use the building for their services," said Commissioner Mary Davis.
"What we're going to do is just borrow the balance. It's about $22 million or so. We're using the first 18 to pay off the interest for the first couple of years," Russell said.
"On the building, we were maybe going to spend $20 million and renovate two floors or issue some bonds at a 2.6 interest rate. It's a good rate right now," Davis said.
The city already has $18 million in the bank that you approved in the SPLOST vote.They're hoping you'll give the thumbs up again when the tax shows up on the ballot in two years.
"If that doesn't pass, we have a second bite at the apple. We have money that can be rolled down to minimum levels, where we would take that SPLOST and roll it down to minimum levels. If that doesn't pass, we have money in the capital account that could be used as a last effort," Russell said.
Your tax dollars will fund renovating the building where most of us go to pay our taxes.

Recently Jim Nabors married his male partner of 38 years because he wanted to make it legal. Surprise, Jim Nabors is gay. Whoever saw that coming? Maybe he kept it a secret because he was in military–remember Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.? Maybe he was simply following the �Don�t ask, don�t tell� policy. Regardless, my feeling is who cares? People fall in love with people they fall in love with. In the words of Woody Allen, �the heart wants what the heart wants.� Of course he said this about falling in love with the 21 year old adopted daughter of Mia Farrow, with whom Allen was having a relationship.
We all know some married couples and wonder what they saw in each other. They fell in love and even though we don�t understand it, they felt it and it�s real to them. As the old saying goes, puppy love is real to the puppy.
Apparently it�s possible to fall in love with an imaginary friend. Just ask Manti Te�o who apparently feel in love with Lennay Kekua who never existed anywhere but in his heart. We might be able to better understand Manit�s �love� if we remember he is a football player–not that there is anything wrong with that. Chris Culliver, a player for the San Francisco 49ers made some pretty inflammatory statements about gays a couple days ago. The next day he clarified what he meant. �The derogatory comments I made yesterday,� he said, �were a reflection of the thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel.� So apparently, there is for him no connection between his head and his feelings and this may explain why there is a problem with concussions in professional football.
People can�t help what they love and who they love. Love is a personal experience and just can't be explained. I see no reason why some people like to eat Blood Sausage or Liver. But just because I don�t understand it doesn�t mean that shouldn�t eat it. I don�t understand how some people fall in love but they do, and some people fall in love with individuals of the opposite sex and some with people who are the same sex. But they do. And there is no way we can stop people from loving who they love. So shazam, there it is, Gomer is married to a man. And g-o-l-l-y I�m happy for him. And if you have a problem with this then I can only say, shame, shame, shame on you.

MARIETTA - Digital projection and 3D movies are coming soon to the Odyssey Theatre Lafayette Square 7 where crews began replacing the theater's old 35mm celluloid projectors .
"By this weekend we expect to have the projectors up and running in all seven theaters," said Gary Westmark, vice president of operations for Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-based CineMagic Theatres.
The new Barco DLP digital projection system will provide a much brighter picture with more vibrant colors and higher resolution than the current film projectors that have been in service since CineMagic took over operations from Regal Cinemas in April 2010, he said.

Christian Hudspeth, associate with the Odyssey Theatre Lafayette Square 7 in Marietta, is shown beside one of the theater's new Barco DLP digital projectors. In his hand is the unit that will replace the multiple reels of celluloid film used in the theater's old 35mm projection system.
"There are no scratches, no dust on the film, because there is no film," Westmark said. "We're also installing new digital sound systems and speakers. The old speakers often cannot handle the digital output."
In addition to the digital upgrades, Westmark said two special 3D screens are being installed that will enable the theater to show RealD 3D movies, and the first 3D showing at the Odyssey will likely be "The Hobbit," which opens Dec. 14.
"With 3D you lose 30 to 40 percent from the light source, so it requires a special silver screen to increase the light impact," he said. "Studios are putting out a lot more movies in 3D, so it's a format we have to provide to keep up with the market."
David Oliver, general manager at the Marietta Odyssey, said patrons have been asking when the theater would begin digital projections and offering 3D movies.
"They know digital is a better format," he said. "But our installation was almost pushed back two weeks after Hurricane Sandy hit New York."
Westmark explained the equipment had to be shipped into New York before coming to the Marietta theater.
Oliver said business has been steady, and there has even been some growth since CineMagic took over in 2010, but he expects business will pick up with installation of the new system.
"Next week is going to be really busy as the new 'Twilight, Breaking Dawn Part 2' begins Friday," he said.
CineMagic operates theaters in five states, and Westmark said all are being upgraded to digital projection and sound systems.
He said new seating and other improvements are also coming to the Marietta theater.
"The first improvement we made here was to lower the admission cost," Westmark said, adding that there will be no increase in ticket prices due to installation of the new digital format.
Customers can expect an increase of about $2.50 for 3D movies shown at the theater.

it seems the problem is with mencoder itself it doesnt like that file and codec, mencoder is usually really good just like vlc it basically has all the codecs it will ever need. you might need to wait till mencoder can support that codec better or fix the error.
as a alternative whenever i have a problem with a file i use a program called handbrake and convert the problem files to mp4 (you can also convert to mkv maybe with the recode it might actually fix the issue aswell) i use all the default settings and its really easy to use, heres the link.
sorry i couldnt help more.

First FDA approval without trials
18.12.2012 - GSK's monoclonal antibody against anthrax is the first to get FDA approval without having been tested for efficacy in humans.
This antibody is a very special one: fast track designation, priority review, orphan drug designation – and the first monoclonal antibody approved under the FDA's Animal Efficacy Rule: On 14 December, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) raxibacumab injections as a treatment against inhalational anthrax. "In addition to antibiotics, raxibacumab will be a useful treatment to have available should an anthrax bioterrorism event occur," said the FDA official Edward Cox. The decision comes as no surprise, as GSK announced that the FDA's Anti-Infective Drugs Advisory Committee voted 16 to 1 in support of the clinical benefit of raxibacumab – with one abstention on 2 November. The antibody was discovered in a joint venture between Cambridge Antibody Technology and Human Genome Sciences with Cambridge Antibody Technology discovering the antibody to Human Genome Sciences' target. In July 2012 HGS was purchased by GSK.
Inhalational anthrax is a form of the infectious disease caused by breathing in the spores of the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Raxibacumab neutralizes toxins produced by the bacterium that can cause massive and irreversible tissue injury and death. Raxibacumab has additionally been approved to prevent inhalational anthrax when alternative therapies are not available or not appropriate. Its efficacy has been shown so far in rabbits and monkeys. "Sixty-four percent of animals in the monkey study and 44 percent of animals in one rabbit study receiving the 40 milligrams per kilogram dose of raxibacumab survived exposure to anthrax, compared with none in the placebo groups," said GSK in a press release. Trials in humans are not possible due the nature of the disease: Inhalational anthrax is as rare as it is lethal. However, at least the safety of raxibacumab could be demonstrated in 326 healthy human volunteers.

LIVERMORE -- Busy behind a desk in a bustling office he calls "the brains" of his church, the Rev. Napoleon Kaufman is clearly a man on a mission.
The Scriptures open and marked in front of him, Kaufman views video from the previous Sunday. Unlike his former life with the Oakland Raiders, it's not game film he's reviewing but clips from the first service in his church's new 83,000-square-foot home in Livermore.
Fresh off a move from Dublin two years in the making, The Well Christian Community Church packed in about 1,000 faithful on June 16, the exuberant congregation moving and singing together as one.
"It was crazy." Kaufman said, smiling. "To see it come to fruition is a lot of joy. To do it on Father's Day was just amazing."
Although he serves as the Raiders chaplain, Kaufman, 40, has come a long way from his football playing days. A first-round pick from the University of Washington in 1995, he became the Raiders' starting running back and one of the league's top rushers by his third season. But feeling unfulfilled by worldly success, Kaufman was inspired by a core group of devout Christian players -- especially Raiders fullback Jerone Davison -- to forge a path as an ordained minister.
Former Raiders offensive lineman Robert Jenkins, Kaufman's teammate for two seasons, said he watched Kaufman evolve from an excitable rookie to a serious man of faith, exchanging rap music for meditation and Bible study.
"The world suddenly meant nothing to him," Jenkins recalled. "It was a deep spiritual transformation. We were truly blessed to be there to see it."
Kaufman joined Evangel Christian Fellowship (now Gateway City Church) in San Jose, seeking out the Rev. David Cannistraci, who wrote a book Kaufman enjoyed. Kaufman's responsibilities in the church grew, and after the 2000 season, he abruptly retired from football, walking away from millions of dollars in potential earnings.
"Napoleon had it in his heart to lead a congregation," Cannistraci said. "I told him how much work it was ... but he understood that. He has embraced the challenge beautifully."
In 2003, under Cannistraci's purview, Kaufman started The Well in a tiny building in San Ramon with 15 families in the congregation. In the decade since, the church has outgrown two Tri-Valley sites and expanded to oversee nine churches: five in Lima, Peru, and others in Concord, Hayward, Reno and Hiroshima, Japan.
"At a time when a lot of churches are shrinking and laying off pastors, for him to have the success he's having shows leadership," Cannistraci said. "I expect he's going to be a force to be reckoned with in the East Bay."
The Well's spacious Livermore headquarters is impressive -- the former Comcast building houses a small cafe, a bookstore, rooms for special-needs children and Bible study classes, and a computer lab. Kaufman's wife, Nicole, also a pastor, manages the children's church for toddlers up to sixth grade. There's also a youth ministry for older students.
"It's that sense of being at home," said Jennifer Case, one of The Well's first members and an assistant to Nicole Kaufman. "You feel like you've been on a journey and have finally reached your destination."
Kaufman certainly isn't the only Bay Area athlete or coach to seek a higher calling beyond sports. Current Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson is also an ordained minister, former Oakland A's prospect Grant Desme left professional baseball to become a monk at St. Michael's Abbey in Silverado, and Kaufman's former Raiders teammate and mentor, Davison, is a senior pastor at a Fairfield church.
Though he's reticent to talk about football, Kaufman remains connected as the Raiders' team chaplain, a role he has had for the past year. Kaufman organizes Bible studies, holds chapel services at the team's practice facility in Alameda, and leads game-day prayers.
Several ex-teammates, who Kaufman called upon to be part of The Well's inception, remain members, including Jenkins, a senior deacon who admires his pastor for his accessibility and authenticity.
"He's just being himself," Jenkins said. "There's nothing theatrical about it."
The church has an active community outreach program, through grocery giveaways, a prison ministry and work with the Bay Area Rescue Mission homeless shelter in Richmond. Its multi-ethnic congregation comes from all over the Bay Area, and besides Kaufman's name recognition, The Well has gained notoriety through his daily radio show, "Times of Refreshing," heard on San Francisco's KFAX-AM.
The church is finishing up a state-of-the-art production room that will soon stream the pastor's sermons live online; Kaufman also heads an international ministry, preaching in Peru, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, Africa and Japan.
"We've always had a global mindset when it comes to getting the gospel out," Kaufman said. "This is our home of operations, but we have a heart for the nations."
Kaufman holds Sunday services at 10:30 a.m., sharing the stage with an equally energetic band, "The Sound of Heaven" worship team. For a man used to performing for large crowds, preaching from the pulpit is a humbling experience.
"I just sense the gravity of the responsibility," Kaufman said. "There's a trust aspect to it, I want to do the best I can."
Kaufman lives in Pleasanton with his wife and their children: Napoleon Jr., a football player for Bishop O'Dowd High School in Oakland; Nathanael; Nehemiah; and Natalia.
In Livermore, he says, The Well has laid a perfect foundation for the future. It took longer than expected, but it was worth it, he said.
"When we found this spot, we just felt led by the Lord that this was the place to be," Kaufman said. "It was a rough ride but we got it done."

Through our exceptional health
care services, we reveal
the healing presence of God.
What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
Sun Prairie, WI – April 13, 2011 – It took just 11 months for St. Mary's Sun Prairie Emergency Center to care for 10,000 patients and this afternoon – another 10 months later – it has reached the 20,000 mark. St. Mary's Sun Prairie Emergency Center opened on July 1, 2009, and has reached both milestones well ahead of initial projections.
"The community told us several years ago there was an unmet need for emergency services in Sun Prairie, and by the fact we keep hitting our milestones well ahead of time I'd say that need has been proven," says Rebecca Jacobs, Manager of the St. Mary's Sun Prairie Emergency Center. "We couldn't be happier to be here caring for this wonderful community."
Sun Prairie's estimated 2010 population is roughly 28,000 people. If each patient lived in the community, this means more than 2 out of 3 residents would have received care from the Center's dedicated team of healthcare professionals.
St. Mary's Sun Prairie Emergency Center provides 24/7 care and is staffed by Certified Emergency Nurses and physicians who are all board certified in emergency medicine. It is Wisconsin's only satellite emergency center and is conveniently located near the intersection of Highway 151 and Reiner Road. The 13,500 square foot building was built on a 17 acre parcel, with future growth and expanded services in mind. It features 10 treatment rooms - including a fire truck-themed room for pediatric patients, a helipad for transport to Madison hospitals and an InstyMeds machine (a 24 hour prescription vending machine).

STANFORD -- Nobody expected miracles from Stanford's passing game this season.
Not with the losses of quarterback Andrew Luck and his top three receivers, Coby Fleener, Griff Whalen and Chris Owusu.
But coaches and players expect more of themselves than the unproductive effort against Washington last week.
When the No. 18 Cardinal plays Arizona on Saturday in a Pac-12 game at Stanford Stadium the offense hopes to regain its equilibrium with an effective passing game.
"We're not going to not throw the ball," said coach David Shaw, once a Stanford receiver himself.
But he hopes redshirt junior quarterback Josh Nunes can throw it better. Shaw also wants all of his receivers to lend a hand with more catches.
If they can improve after getting shut down by Washington 17-13, it would go a long way in allowing Stanford to do what it likes best: run the football into the belly of the defense.
Shaw, for one, hasn't lost faith.
"In the last four games, I don't know if you can throw better deep balls than" Nunes has, he said.
The Southern Californian has completed 65 of 125 passes for 785 yards and four interceptions and six touchdowns. His completion rate of 52 percent ranks last in the Pac-12. So does Nunes' passer-efficiency rating of 114.2.
Nunes' favorite target has been senior tight end Zach Ertz, who had six catches for 106 yards last week. Ertz and Ty Montgomery each have 15 receptions this season while leading rusher Stepfan Taylor has 14.
But Nunes also has shown a propensity for underthrowing open receivers in short-yardage situations. Those wayward throws and timely drops on good passes have led to stalled drives. Stanford (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) converted just five of 18 third-down attempts and failed to score an offensive touchdown last week -- the first time that has happened since 2007.
"It's all mechanics," Shaw said. "It's not anything Josh can't do and hasn't done thousands of times. It's a two-minute conversation."
Nunes, not known for effusiveness, simply says, "I just need to throw it better."
He said the misplays are correctable, adding the passing game is close to where it needs to be.
Cardinal coaches, though, have a long view when it comes to their vast playbook. The passing game is but one component. The team needs to sustain drives through a mix of long and short passes and power runs. When one facet is off-kilter, the offense loses its rhythm.
And it takes more than a quarterback and receiving corps to make it go. By most accounts, the young offensive line has done an admirable job with its pass protection despite three new faces.
"The offensive front is not sloppy big -- they're just big, cornfed dudes," Arizona defensive lineman Tevin Hood said. "We just have to play low, maintain a low center of gravity and hit them in the mouth."
New Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez is worried Stanford's size up front could release the full brunt of the Cardinal offense.
"For us, being a really small team and way too small defensively is a cause for concern," he told reporters. "We have to play bigger than we are if we want a chance to win."
Rodriguez particularly is worried about Stanford's height advantage with the 6-foot-6 Ertz and fellow tight end Levine Toilolo, who is 6-8 but has only eight receptions this season.
"You want your guys playing for the run game, but the pass is what has been a big key for them in the past several years," he said, forgetting for the moment the signal caller no longer is named Luck.
Now Stanford and Nunes must show they can do enough to keep defenses honest.
"It's time to put it all together," Shaw said.

SAN JOSE -- A 10-year-old San Jose boy was hospitalized and his father arrested after the child got hold of a fireworks stash and mangled his hand, in what police are holding up as a tragic example of having illegal pyrotechnics.
The instance that drew police attention occurred around 7 p.m. Friday at a home on Lewis Road, between Monterey and Senter Roads, when a family member reported that the boy had ignited fireworks in a bedroom. The explosion inflicted "major trauma" to his hand and sent him to the hospital, where he is expected to survive, police said.
After the explosion, responding officers from San Jose police found 14 pounds of fireworks inside the home, said spokeswoman Sgt. Heather Randol. The injured boy's father was arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment and misdemeanor possession of illegal fireworks.
The 39-year-old father has not been identified to protect the privacy of the juvenile victim.
Without a pyrotechnics permit, it is illegal to possess any form of fireworks in the city of San Jose, Randol said. The boy's injury should serve as a stern warning given the expected purchase and use of fireworks in advance of the Fourth of July holiday, police said.
"We want residents to be aware of the danger of having and using fireworks at home," Randol said.
She added San Jose residents will have access to a series of city-sponsored fireworks displays revolving around Independence Day.
"There are safe fireworks activities that will be happening in the city," Randol said.
It was not immediately clear where the fireworks in Friday's accident came from, or what kind of grade they were. The case remains under investigation.
According to the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, an average of 200 people in the United States go to emergency rooms for fireworks accidents each day during the month surrounding the Fourth of July holiday, with 20 percent of them age 10 and under. Hands and fingers are the most-injured body part, accounting for 41 percent of fireworks-related injuries, according to CPSC figures.

text: Even anarchy requires consensus... even if it is a consensus to allow members to act counter to the group's intentions. Either way, anarchy only works when individual actions do not dangerously impact the whole. When they do, and they must be reined in, anarchy is over. Our present political systems are relatively simple, based as they are either on family dynamics or group dynamics; and both of those dynamics are based on social systems that evolved on this planet (with multiple species) to support survival. Since, as I suggested before, another race may have evolved under very different social or physical pressures, they would have likely evolved different social dynamics, and their politics (if they had any) would likely have been influenced by those social systems. This doesn't necessarily mean they would be more complex, but they could emphasize different aspects of group dynamics than we are used to (decisions could be heavily influenced by time passed, or argument weight could be impacted by health, etc). So we could see more complex political systems, or simply more incomprehensible systems. I hate to disagree with Clausewitz, but I don't see war as the continuation of politics by other means... unless you see organized and premeditated murder as a legitimate political tactic (I know some political groups do see it that way, but I don't). As politics and social systems are about Agreement, and murder is about as far from agreeing as you can get, war has nothing to do with politics; war is what we resort to when politics breaks down; it is a refusal to cooperate. War is about usurping another's fundamental right to their life.

I've always been a sucker for cashmere. Add a dusting of silk, give it an unusual twist, and I'm reaching for the needles.
Our friends at Zealana have taken things even further: They've combined cashmere and silk with New Zealand's luxury export, possum down. The result is Zealana Air, a tender, decadent, and unusual yarn. Shall we swatch?

Like no other
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in Chanel (26)
Wearing a Chanel is more than just wearing fashionable jewelries or designer clothes. It is wearing fashion and celebrating style, not in grandeur, but in simple yet self-assured poise. She becomes a Chanel lady who wears one, declaring to the world her confidence in stylish yet simple flair. She becomes yet another link to the Chanel saga, the brand whose haute-couture and jewelry fashion trace their roots on a youthful girl in provincial France. Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel built her signature around simple yet elegant dresses, accentuated by streamlined jewelry that contradicted the overtly dressed and opulent 19th century. Her graceful confident approach to taste is evident in Chanel's top signatures, notably its little black dresses, perfume No. 5 de Chanel, and the Chanel Suit that would build the House of Chanel as of one of the world's most admired fashion icons. Top models and celebrities, who exude their own self-assured aura, found it natural to absorb the Chanel elegant confidence, with personalities including Marilyn Monroe, Anna Mouglalis, Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Paradis, and Audrey Tautou among Chanel admirers. Today, whether it is in accessories, designer clothes, ready-to-wear, jewels, eyewear, and more, a Chanel inspires. No less.
Shreve is an authorized dealer for Chanel.

Los Angeles recording artist Alan Kaplan has for years played his signature ballad and studio styles on a vintage H.N White trombone, made in the 1930's by Matty Shiner for the great Tommy Dorsey. That very rare instrument had never been replicated. That is, until he approached Zig Kanstul. Zig has produced an improved version, and Alan liked the results so much, he now uses the 1602-B model all the time. Kanstul has been a leader in modern trombone development. The CR Valve (full bore, lightweight) and open wrap design are just two modern refinements. The Model 1602-B features Kanstuls lightest .500" slide. It features lighter tubes and thinner ferrules for the fastest action available. There is no trombone hand slide with as light a feel as this one. The bell is hand-hammered and hand spun, and is made of a single piece of lightweight brass sheet, for a velvety smooth sound that is well-centered at all dynamic levels. These specifications combine to produce a sports car of a trombone, nimble, warm, friendly or even strident, as you prefer. The tone is malleable, so this horn does what you want. The Model 1602-B includes three removable mouthpipes, including replicas of an original H.N. White, an Alan Kaplan signature pipe, and one based on Jiggs Whigham's favorite mouthpipe. Also comes with Pro Tec tenor trombone case. Hand-hammered one-piece lightweight .020" yellow brassExtra lightweight hand slideNickel tuning slide tubesThree interchangeable mouthpipes - JW, 2B and AK. Price: $2,051.00

For a restaurant to be profitable, not only does it need to achieve specific sales goals but it must also hit certain cost targets as well. However, if you don't know what your target should be then how can you expect to hit it?
The Menu & Recipe Cost Template is a Microsoft Excel® set of spreadsheets designed to help you prepare an accurate costing for all your menu items and recipes. Once you've completed the setup for each menu item then all you need to do is to enter current purchase prices for ingredients you buy, then watch as each recipe and menu item is automatically updated with current costs.
This workbook is an expanded version of the tools used to create our RecipeMapping series, a step-by-step method for adding menu items, and illustrated using tested recipes from actual restaurants.
The Menu & Recipe Cost Template is downloadable in Microsoft Excel® file format.
Summary of features & benefits:
Holds up to 300 ingredients, 100 menu items and 100 sub-recipes.
Easy to use "drop-down" lists eliminate repetitive typing or the need to cut & paste.
Maintains current recipe cost for each menu item.
Allows you to experiment with various cost percentage targets by entering different selling prices.
Automatically recalculates menu and recipe costs as each ingredient cost is changed.
The recipe card can be printed "without the cost information" for use in your recipe manual and kitchen.
Each recipe can be a sub-recipe for another recipe or a menu item.
Sample of the Inventory Master
The Inventory Master list should reflects not only the purchasing cost and unit of measure, but also the corresponding recipe cost and unit of measure. This version supports up to 300 ingredients.
Sample of a Menu Cost Form
The Menu Cost Forms are grouped into 10 separate worksheets, each containing 10 menu cost forms. Each group can be renamed to fit your own unique needs.
Sample of a Recipe Card
Like the Menu Cost Forms, the Recipe worksheets are divided into 10 different groups that can be renamed if desired. Even a simple, single menu item often requires several recipes, or sub-recipes that are produced in batch. The recipe batch is then assigned its own recipe unit and cost based on to total cost to produce the batch and how much it yields. Once a recipe card is created it can then be used within other recipes, or within the Menu Cost Form.
Each Recipe Card contains both preparation and cost information. The cost is updated each time the price of ingredients listed in the Inventory master is changed. The recipe measures an instructions can be printed without the cost information, for use by the kitchen and in your recipe manual.
