BERKELEY -- It all came down to one attempt Friday in the boys triple jump finals at the North Coast Section Meet of Champions.
On the last jump of the competition, Castro Valley's Nate Moore came from behind to win with an outstanding mark of 50 feet, 21/4 inches at Cal's Edwards Stadium.
Entering this weekend, Moore led the state and was ranked second in the nation with a mark of 50-41/2, achieved April 5 at the Stanford Invitational. Before Moore took his final attempt Friday, James Logan's Karsten Wethington was leading with a personal-record 49-113/4 (wind-aided), an impressive mark in its own right.
But Moore's confidence didn't waver.
"When the competition level's there, and I'm hyping myself up, the jump will be there," said Moore, the defending state track and field champion in the triple jump and long jump.
Moore admitted he didn't think his final attempt was long enough to win.
"I thought it was like a high 49," he said.
"He's a real competitor. I love it. He pushes me, I push him. It's a friendly rivalry. We're like brothers," said Wethington, who had the third-best wind-legal mark in the state entering this weekend (49-41/2), according to PrepCalTrack.com.
There were six field event finals Friday, with the top three placers in each automatically qualifying for the state championships June 6-7 at Buchanan High-Clovis. The track events held were all trials.
On Saturday, field event finals start at 9 a.m. and track finals begin at 1:30 p.m.
There were other dramatic victories Friday.
Washington's Vai Lousi was eighth entering the final three rounds of the girls discus. But she immediately set a personal record of 131-5 to vault into the lead, then after falling into second, she took the lead again with a mark of 135-0 on her fifth attempt on her way to winning the competition.
"I was just more relaxed," Lousi said about her fourth and fifth attempts. "I was just thinking about my grandpa, who recently passed away, my grandma and my mom."
Like Moore, Castro Valley's Kennedy Jones won an event on her last attempt.
Jones entered the final three rounds of the girls triple jump in sixth place, but she flew into first in the sixth round after soaring a personal-record of 39-1/4 and kept the lead to the event's end.
"I'm making it to state this year. That's what I thought right before I jumped (in the sixth round)," Jones said. "I knew I was out there when I landed. I knew I had jumped over 38."
Acalanes' Matt Thomas produced a personal record of 57-3 on his second attempt of the boys shot put and won the competition by 31/2 feet.
"I'm peaking at the right time," Thomas said. "I'm throwing consistently."

Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 6:13 a.m.
SYDNEY - Ellen DeGeneres is so excited to be Down Under, she's even tweeting that way.
The talk show host's Twitter account had an upside-down message Friday saying, "I made it to Australia!"
She's visiting Sydney and Melbourne on her six-day trip to the country for segments being filmed for her popular U.S. television show.
DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi greeted fans at the Sydney airport upon arrival. Photos posted on the show's website and social media accounts showed the couple in front of the Sydney Opera House and DeGeneres looking at kaolas and a giraffe at Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
"The Ellen DeGeneres Show" is in its 10th season. DeGeneres was honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor last year.

- Monte Sereno murder: 'Be quiet if you want to live,' killers told Ravi Kumra's wife before binding and gagging her with tape
SAN JOSE -- Emotions spilled into a courtroom hallway Wednesday as the family of the alleged prostitute accused of being an accessory to the murder of a Monte Sereno multimillionaire expressed outrage at the prosecutor who has kept the evidence against Raven Dixon secret and is considering expanding the charges against her.
"Her credibility is being torn up!" said Dixon's mother, Sandra Mitchell, pushing away a family member who tried to silence her. "Raven wanted me to tell the truth and I did."
Dixon, 22, who had a relationship with Ravi Kumra since she was a minor, would never hurt the man, Mitchell said. Kumra, 66, once owned Saratoga's Mountain Winery concert venue and was known by his former business associates to entertain prostitutes at his mansion. Mitchell also said that her daughter never met any of the three men who appeared in court Wednesday and are accused of breaking into the Monte Sereno estate on Nov. 30, robbing Kumra of cash, coins and jewelry, and killing him. Kumra's wife, Harinder Kumra, was beaten.
Dixon didn't appear in court Wednesday. She told her lawyer she was too upset for her family to see her. During her previous court appearances, Dixon has whimpered throughout the hearings.
After repeated requests by defense attorneys to unseal the evidence, Kevin Smith, deputy district attorney, said he will provide Friday the "statement of facts" that led to the arrest of Dixon and the three alleged killers: DeAngelo Austin, 21, and Javier R. Garcia, 21, both of Oakland, and Lukis D. Anderson, 26.
Dixon remains jailed on $1 million bail. She is charged with one count of accessory to murder for allegedly harboring at least one of the killers after the murder. But Smith said Wednesday he is considering whether to expand or add charges to "better reflect" her alleged involvement. Law enforcement sources have told this newspaper that Dixon helped set up the crime as well.
"We have nothing showing us why she's being charged," Dixon's lawyer, Denise Zingale, said in the courthouse hallway Wednesday. "Now he's talking about adding more charges, which is very unfair."
Zingale said she believes the prosecution has been withholding evidence while they search for others who may have been involved. Kumra's widow told police that at least one or as many as four men had broke into the house.

BEVERLY- A plan to increase the prices for plots at the Beverly Cemetery was introduced Wednesday at the Beverly Village Council's regular meeting.
"The village has been in charge of selling plots and the opening and closing of graves for quite some time," said Beth Kenyon, council member.
Kenyon noted it has been more than 20 years since there has been an increase in the price for plots at the cemetery on Ohio 339.
"The prices haven't been changed since sometime in the '80s, I believe," said Kenyon. "Today was just an opportunity to bring it before the council, so for the next meeting we will be able to have an ordinance written so it may be voted upon."
Currently the price of a grave for residents of the Beverly area is $150 and $200 for anyone outside of the area. The proposal suggests that rates be increased to $250 for residents and $350 for non-residents.
The price of opening and closing graves is set to increase as well, going from $325 to $400 for both Beverly residents and those who live outside the area.
Fact Box
Next Meeting
The next village council meeting is March 13.
"The cemetery really requires a great deal of maintenance and upkeep especially during the summer," said Beverly Mayor Rex Kenyon. "We generally have to hire someone to help cut the grass about six months out of the year. The cemetery always operates at a deficit, we are just trying to help reduce that deficit."
There would be some time before the increase in rates would go into effect.
"I imagine the ordinance will pass next month and then there will be at least another 30 days before it goes into effect," Kenyon said. "So if you are looking to purchase a grave plot at the normal price make sure you do so in the next 60 days."
In other business the council reviewed the Beverly Volunteer Fire department's 2012 annual report.
The report included the total number of incidents the department responded to, which was 79, and had a breakdown detailing what those responses were.
According to the report the departments average response time from the tone being sent out until the first unit arrived on scene was 3.5 minutes.
"That type of a response time from a volunteer fire department is pretty much unheard of," said James Ullman, council member. "I would hope that our community members would feel a sense of safety and pride with a department posting numbers like that."
In 2012 the department also was able to pay off a loan it had to purchase one of its tankers with and is currently debt free.
"That is pretty important because we are now looking to put a committee together in the next two or three years to replace one of our engines," Ullman said. "It was bought in 1988 and by replacing it we will be able to help increase efficiency and reduce insurance prices for the community."

Does a rail jam in September qualify as a portent of winter to come or the last big hurrah of summer? Keystone Resort's answer is: A little bit of both.
Taking place Saturday, Keystone's Backyard BBQ Rail Session is being billed as the earliest rail jam in the state.
"This is to stoke everyone out for the winter and kick off the winter season," said Keystone terrain park manager Kevin Laverty. Meanwhile, the weekend also closes out Keystone's summer activities.
"What's pretty cool about it is that some of our mountain bike trails come down that face, so there could be mountain bikers coming down as the rail jam is going on," said Keystone spokeswoman Tucker Burton. "It's kind of a cool combination. We have summer and winter colliding - but not literally."
To make the 15 tons of "snow" needed to cover their new multi-rail feature, organizers will use a modified wood chipper on 10-15 tons of blocked ice, Laverty said.
The Backyard BBQ is the first rail jam of the resort's new A51 River Run Rail Series. The second competition will take place Nov. 3 for opening weekend, with the final session occurring on the last day of the season in April, Laverty said.
"Here at Keystone we work year-round ... building unique features," said terrain park supervisor Tony Wertin. The River Run Rail Series showcases a few of the new features.
On Saturday, skiers and snowboarders will compete for $6,000 in prizes at the rail jam, which had sold out in the men's divisions for both skiing and snowboarding as of Wednesday. Top prizes are an Epic Summit Value Pass plus entry into Transworld TransAM for snowboarders and a freestyle competition planned in Breckenridge for skiers.
While the session gives pros and amateurs the opportunity to come out early and test out new tricks or dust off the cobwebs in preparation for the upcoming season, there's plenty for spectators to do too.
"It's going to be a party atmosphere at the bottom, so while the rail jam is going on the spectators can be jamming out and eating good food," Burton said. Drinks and barbecue are available for purchase, and swag giveaways range from an Epic Summit Value Pass to GoPro cameras. Vendors, including Never Summer and Faty-pus, will have their latest gear on display. Saturday is also the last day to purchase a season pass at last spring's price.

NEW YORK — Denver mayor Michael Hancock is getting the star treatment in the Big Apple — rushing from one media event to the next.
"I'm here to root for the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl," Hancock said Friday. "We also want to bring the Super Bowl to Denver."
Hancock arrived in New York on Thursday afternoon and has appeared on a number of TV and news shows since his plane touched down. Appearing on "The Colbert Report," "Today" and local Denver shows broadcasting from radio row inside the Super Bowl media center near Times Square, Hancock is getting plenty of air time to push his dual messages: "Go Broncos" and bring the Super Bowl to Denver.
"We have the infrastructure to host this event in the future," Hancock said. "We have the hotel rooms, the transportation and the stadiums that would make it work. We've hosted events of this scale in the past and have been successful."
In the past Denver has hosted the Democratic National Convention, Summit of the Eight and World Youth Day with Pope John Paul II.
Hancock is also joining in a friendly wager with Seattle Mayor Ed Murray in the "Service Bowl."
The two mayors are "competing" in the second annual event coordinated by AmeriCorps. The winning mayor will host the opposing mayor and AmeriCorps members and volunteers for a day of service in the winning city.
Despite his busy schedule, there's one thing to which Hancock said he is most looking forward while visiting New York and New Jersey.
"A Broncos victory!"

Traveling this holiday season? You�re in good company: In 2011, an estimated 91.9 million Americans traveled 50 miles or more from home during the holiday season, according to the AAA. For most individuals, traveling offers an exhilarating opportunity to break out of the mundane rhythms of everyday life and explore new sights, sounds and tastes. But for individuals who suffer from severe anxiety disorders, the mere thought of traveling may provoke intense fear, dread and even panic. RELATED: Depression or Anxiety: How to Tell the Difference? �Travel constantly exposes you to new and different things, and comes with a range of unknowns and what-ifs�a potentially endless array of scenarios that can pose a threat to someone trying to keep their nerves under control by way of controlling their environment,� says Rita Anya Nara, author of the book The Anxious Traveler. Rita knows firsthand how devastating it can be to live with an anxiety disorder. For years, Rita was paralyzed by severe anxiety that inhibited her from doing the things she loved. She struggled with numerous forms of anxiety disorders, including seasonal affective disorder, panic disorder and social anxiety disorder.�One day, tired of passively sitting and watching life go by, Rita overcame her dread of the unfamiliar and hopped on a plane. To date, she has ventured to 38 countries and has largely conquered her debilitating anxiety symptoms. [caption id="attachment_117579" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Brought to you by: Spry Living

Surprising Scents That Turn Him On
"When you inhale pollen and other allergens, it causes your body to release histamine, a chemical that naturally fights allergies," says Zoe Draelos, M.D., a dermatologist in Durham, North Carolina. "But sometimes the body releases too much of it and actually triggers inflammation, causing red, itchy eyes, a scratchy throat, runny nose, difficulty breathing, and, in severe cases, hives."
Draelos recommends taking an over-the-counter anti-histamine before heading outdoors. For spring-fever relief: Zyrtec 24-Hour, $19.49, amazon.com, which helps stave off symptoms all day.

NATCHITOCHES — For the first time this season, the Nicholls State University women's soccer team was held scoreless, losing to the the Northwestern State Lady Demons 3-0 on Friday.
With the loss, the Colonels fall to 10-4 overall and 4-4 in the Southland Conference, while Northwestern State improves to 6-6-1 and 4-3-1.

The Colonels were done in during the first half of play, as Northwestern State's Ashlee Savona scored both goals in the first half on just four shots.

Uh Oh: Carbs May Be Linked To Dementia
A high carb diet could be linked to bad brain health
RELATED: The Cancer-Fighting, Disease Preventing Superfoods You've Gotta Try in 2014
"We live with this notion that a calorie is a calorie, but at least in terms of brain health, and I believe for the rest of the body as well, there are very big differences between our sources of calories in terms of the impact on our health," he said. "Carbohydrate calories, which elevate blood glucose, are dramatically more detrimental to human physiology, and specifically to human health, than are calories derived from healthful sources of fat."

Recent studies have linked high carbohydrate diets to brain shrinkage, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and impaired cognition. Perlmutter believes that being careful with the amount and type of carbs you eat could help save your brain in the long run. [Medical News Today]

He had only one assist in the game but is there any doubt that Jarkko Ruutu was the real star of the Senators win over the Rangers yesterday afternoon?
That shark-like grin never left his face all day as he drove players like Paul Mara and Colton Orr to outright attack him and take ill-advised penalties, the first of which directly resulted in Jason Spezza's game opening goal to put the Rangers on their backs right away.
Even the linesman got in their physical shots at Ruutu after he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for hitting Mara near the end of the first period. Right after the hit, one of the linesman freaked out and threw Ruutu to the ice and gave him a few spirited shoves once he had him pinned. Now that's called being an "agitator".
As for the new sweaters, I'm probably with the majority of "Senators" fans in that I find the word "Sens" on the front to be the weakest part of the jersey. I can understand that the organization didn't want to put an "O" on the front to avoid people calling it a "zero", as in "zero Stanley Cups", "zero character", "zero fun" or whatever the current criticism will be.
But the "Sens" script is somewhat weak and they could have went for the often used but still sharp Ranger design which spells out the whole team name on a sharp angle down the front.
I do like the stripes on the elbows - it's almost barberpole style if you look real quick - and they finally fixed their damn socks by dumping the grotesque "Tron" style angles they use for their regular outfits. This time, the stripes go all the way around and look like real NHL uniforms instead of gimmicky minor league fashion statements
It's not a disaster by any means but it's not a home run either. Black seems to look good on the Senators and unlike the other teams who switch to black for their third jersey's (dulling the league's look in the process), the Senators can lay claim to it being one of their original colours.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Wade Redden got a modest standing ovation to congratulate him on 11 great years with the team. If you were listening to call-in radio shows, reading blogs or scouring Senators message boards, you'd think fans were ready to throw batteries at the guy from the stands but it's a good reminder that the vast majority of Senators followers don't feel the need to write blogs or call the radio shows. They watch the games, go to work the next day and get on with their lives.
Something we might all need to do huh?
Ilya Zubov got sent down to Bingo and it wasn't because he played badly or because one of Chris Neil or Mike Fisher made a miraculous recovery. The Senators don't play again until next Thursday and they get to save a little cash with Zubov off the payroll.
The conspiracy theorists might say that the Senators could be interested in Wade Belak who was put on waivers by the Florida Panthers yesterday. Belak, known as a really good locker room guy, could provide that missing muscle on the fourth line and (now we're really stretching) be a familiar face for Mats Sundin when he decides to pick the Senators.
Far fetched? Definitely. But not impossible. The Senators would get one of the first dibs on Belak because of their lowly position in the standings.
You think the Big 3 have it tough being the only real scoring option on the Senators this year? Imagine being Rick Nash in Columbus or Ilya Kovalchuk in Atlanta over the past few years.
The strange thing is that neither of those players are actually leading their team in scoring. In Columbus, youngster Derrick Brassard has one more point than Nash and in Atlanta, Kovalchuk is tied for the team lead with the ancient Slava Kozlov and the 21 year old Bryan Little.
How long until both Nash and Kovalchuk get worn down by all the losing? Maybe we're already seeing the signs.
The biggest moment so far in the season has to be Milan Lucic of the Bruins beating the tar out of Mike Komisarek on November 13.
Since then, the Bruins are running the board and the Canadiens are falling apart. Georges Laraque tried to goad Lucic into a fight last night but the young Cam Neely clone wisely declined and ended up scoring a big goal later in the game. It was revealed afterwards that coach Claude Julien told Lucic not to fight anybody.
"Do you think we're going to send him against probably the toughest guy in the league?" said Julien, who told Lucic before the game not to fight. "I know Georges Laraque was doing that because he was told to. Georges is not that type of guy. He respects the young kids, he knows what it's all about. There was no way it was going to happen."

STOCKTON – A driver with a gun in his vehicle sped off from officers during a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon, leading them on a car chase that ended when he collided with another vehicle. That vehicle in turn hit two other vehicles, police reported.
Byron Ignacio Morales, 27, was arrested on three felony warrants and suspicion of weapons violations and pursuit charges shortly after the incident ended on Pershing Avenue at Country Club Boulevard prior to 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to a report.
Morales' vehicle was originally stopped by the Community Response Team at Country Club and Franklin Avenue. When officers discovered Morales had outstanding felony warrants, they asked him to step out of his car, but instead he drove off east on Country Club for about 1 mile before attempting to turn south on Pershing, where he crashed, the report stated. Officers discovered a loaded semiautomatic pistol during a search of Morales' vehicle.
Police did not report any injuries as a result of the crash.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

DOI Approves Ninth Commercial Solar Project on Public Lands
The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) approved on December 20 the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project in Nevada. The concentrating solar power plant will produce 110 megawatts, enough to provide electricity for up to 75,000 Nevada households. The project will also generate about 450-500 new jobs during construction and up to 50 permanent operations and maintenance jobs. The project, proposed by SolarReserve's Tonopah Solar Energy, LLC of Santa Monica, California, is sited on approximately 2,250 acres administered by DOI's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) about 13 miles northwest of Tonopah in Nye County, Nevada. It was the ninth large-scale solar facility to be green-lighted under the Obama Administration's initiative to encourage rapid and responsible development of renewable energy on U.S. public lands.
The Crescent Dunes plant will use concentrating solar thermal "power tower" technology to contribute 485,000 megawatt hours of cost-effective renewable energy to the Nevada grid each year. This innovative technology uses mirror fields to focus solar energy on a tower receiver near the center of the array of mirrors. Steam from boilers in the tower drives a turbine, which generates electricity for the transmission grid. Crescent Dunes will also have thermal energy storage capability.
To advance an environmentally appropriate project, the BLM worked closely with state, federal, and military agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nevada Department of Wildlife, and the U.S. Air Force, as well as members of the environmental and conservation communities. To minimize impacts to biological resources, the BLM selected an alternative plan that reduced the project size from 7,680 acres to 2,250 acres. Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Tonopah Solar Energy, LLC can qualify for grants in lieu of tax credits of up to 30% of the project's eligible costs, as well as DOE loan guarantees to assist with the construction of the facility. The developer has acquired a power purchase agreement with NV Energy. See the DOI press release.

WVU will be forced to rebuild
January 9, 2013

WVU needs more than football players. It also needs coaches.
WVU hasn't had a football team that played well on all sides (defense, offense, and special teams) since Don Nehlen was Head Coach.
Rich Rod's teams lacked Special Teams play and could tackle.
Stewart's teams lacked Special Team play and an offense.
Under Holgorsen in 2011, WVU lacked Special Team play and a running game. In 2912, WVU lacked not only lacked Special Team play and a running game, but it no simulance of a defense.
Part of the "Quick Fix" apprears to be JUCO recruits, which may work short term.The real fix is the hiring of quality coaches that can build a team by recruiting 4 & 5 Star high school athletes.

Why One Twitter Investor Jumped Ship
Reuben Kressel lived up to his word.
The 66-year-old investor, who bought 500 shares of Twitter earlier this month when the stock was priced at $52, sold his position Friday morning, just as he said he would.
Mr. Kressel, of Rego Park in the New York borough of Queens, told the Journal Thursday that he would dump his Twitter shares when the price dropped by a couple of dollars. At that time, the stock had risen five days in a row and had been up 76% for the month.
Sure enough, shares dropped as much as $5.91, or 8%, on Friday, after an analyst downgrade raised valuation concerns about the stock. Once Mr. Kressel got wind of the downgrade, he wasted little time making a move.
"I sold out completely," he told MoneyBeat Friday morning. "I made money on it and didn't want to take any more chances."
Mr. Kressel's view illustrates the fickle nature of many retail investors who have piled into Twitter during its 182% rally since the San Francisco company's IPO in early November. Some are true Twitter believers, others invest to make a quick buck. Brokers say the collective power of investors such as Mr. Kressel have played a crucial role in driving shares of Twitter, an unprofitable company, to such lofty levels.
"In a name like Twitter, the retail investor is finally starting to come back," said Ian Winer director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities Inc., which acts as a market maker in Twitter shares. "For the first time in a long time, I've seen retail investors really starting to act differently."
To be sure, retail investors could bail on Twitter just as easily as they gravitated to it, as evidenced by Mr. Kressel's move. Macquarie analyst Ben Schachter, who downgraded Twitter shares Friday morning on valuation concerns, said he expects other analysts will adjust their views on Twitter in the coming days and weeks. Nineteen of the 26 Wall Street analysts that cover Twitter have the equivalent of "hold" or "sell" ratings on it, according to Thomson Reuters.
"Because of Twitter's run and rules around price targets, we expect many other analysts will quickly have to either justify raising targets (based on little new information) or downgrade," he wrote in a note to clients.
More downgrades could also prompt similar reactions in the stock to what transpired on Friday.
"I'm better off taking my chips off the table than getting killed," Mr. Kressel said. "You know what they say: 'Don't be a pig.'"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V
The lenses get longer, but the bodies get smaller. Pretty amazing. These three cameras offer wide-angle lenses with long zooms, giving you a lot of shooting flexibility, but without the bulk of larger DSLR-style megazooms.
Canon PowerShot SX260 HSThe good: The SX260 HS has shooting modes for every type of photographer from casual to advanced, a useful long zoom lens and overall excellent photo and video quality. The bad: The menus and controls can take some getting used to, its battery life is short, and photos get noticeably softer-looking indoors or in low light.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20The good: The DMC-ZS20 has an excellent design and feature set, including an ultrawide-angle 20x zoom lens, GPS, and semimanual and manual shooting modes. The bad: Using all of the ZS20's high-performance features, such as its near-pointless touch screen, can really cut into battery life. Also, photos are noisy and soft when viewed at 100 percent.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V
The good: The DSC-HX30V has excellent photo and video quality for its class, fast shooting performance and plenty of shooting options for every kind of user. The bad: The HX30V is expensive, especially compared with competing models. It's not always the easiest camera to use.

To say Wilmington's Josh Quallen left his mark on the 2013 Ohio Division II Swimming & Diving Tournament would be an understatement.
The senior not only won two individual state titles at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton on Friday, but he also broke two state records in doing so.
Quallen set state records in the 100-yard butterfly (49.75) and the 100-yard backstroke (48.92). His efforts earned him the 2013 Boys Swimmer of the Meet crown.
Quallen wasn't the only area swimmer to land atop the podium either. Wyoming junior Jonathan Rutter won the 100-yard breaststroke (57.23).
The Ohio Division I Swimming & Diving Tournament is scheduled to take place Saturday.

The Andean Common Market's Common Regime for Foreign Investment
Dale Beck Furnish
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law, Vol. 5, p. 313, 1972
The Andean Group (ACM) was organized as a subregion of the Latin American Free Trade Association under the Agreement of Cartagena in 1969. This article analyzes its provisions and effects. It concludes that the ACM's Common Regime of Treatment of Foreign Capital seems to be a well-balanced set of rules representing an ambitious attempt at reconciling national and regional development interests with the need for foreign capital and technology on terms equitable and remunerative to those who supply them. It is not perfect on the one hand, but on the other hand it is almost certainly not so bad as some United States business interests would paint it. The Common Regime, however, is, more than perhaps anything else, an invitation to all the participants in the ACM economies to reason together and forge a mutually beneficial way forward built on disclosure and common concern.

There's gregarious Greta, the would-be starlet, clearly thrilled to be serving her country as a nurse in a field hospital. Friedhelm, the sensitive one, and his older brother, Wilhelm, the responsible, take-charge type—both soldiers on their way to the front. And then there's Viktor, who comes by his brooding honestly—he is, after all, a Jew in wartime Berlin.
Granted, when we meet these five young men and women, inseparable since childhood, they're still full of hope for a bright—or at least normal—future. It's 1941. By 1942 they will know better. And by 1945 they will have been torn apart.
For all its harrowing drama, this three-part epic, which aired as a miniseries on German television, turns on a meditation about guilt and innocence. At nearly every moment, our protagonists are faced with choices between complicity and rebellion, self-preservation and self-sacrifice, blood on their hands and love in their hearts—only to discover the deceptive nature of such seemingly black-and-white propositions.
In his author's note, screenwriter Stefan Kolditz observes that the vast majority of an entire generation of Germans was not so easily categorized as "perpetrators or victims … heroic resistance fighters or fanatic Nazis," adding the question that underlies the entire project: "Are we ourselves really so different?" The remarkable result, directed by Philipp Kadelbach, took eight years to make. Nearly 150 sets were constructed in Germany, Lithuania, and Latvia, and more than 150 hours of footage was edited down to the final six. Not a frame will be wasted on the viewer who prepares to confront his or her own reflection.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The objectives of this cooperative research agreement are to:.1)validate a set of polymorphic markers (SSR or SNPs) located around candidate genes or gene networks important in adaptive differentiation; and.2)assess variation in these loci across inventories of diverse Brassica accessions.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
The first part of the project makes use of the extensive genomic annotation in Arabidopsis thaliana and looks for homologous loci within Brassica species. These objectives dovetail with ongoing work that includes identifying key functional loci and assessing allelic variation at these loci in progeny of crosses phenotyped in controlled environment. We will begin development of genotyping approaches at these loci in a wider pool of accession that have undergone multiple rounds of regeneration.

Ferguson wine auctioned for £2.2m (From Congleton Guardian)
Ferguson wine auctioned for £2.2m
2:55am Saturday 24th May 2014 in © Press Association 2014
Part of the wine collection of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been sold for more than £2.2 million at auction.
The wines were offered at a sale in Hong Kong in the first of three auctions and fetched a sale total of £2,269,065.
A total of 257 lots were offered and 229 lots were sold, Christie's said. The auction house was not able to confirm the total number of bottles sold.
The top lot was one Methuselah - equivalent to eight bottles - of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Vintage 1997 which realised £94,815. This lot included a card signed "Best Wishes Alex Ferguson".
The top ten lots were bought by private Asian buyers, Christie's said.
The second lot in the top ten consisted of six bottles of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Romanee Conti Vintage 1999 - the year Sir Alex won the Champions League with Manchester United - which went for £85,334.
This lot included a Manchester United Retro Champions League shirt from 1999 signed "Best Wishes Alex Ferguson".
Further sales will take place in London on June 5 and online from June 9 to 23.
Before today's sale they were expected to raise a total of more than £3 million - but that was before the first sale raised well over half that.
Sir Alex is known for his good taste in wine. When he was in charge at Old Trafford he was said to enjoy a post-match glass with even the fiercest of rivals.
He said: ''I am pleased to be working with Christie's to share one of my life's pleasures. My interest in wine began during a scouting trip in France and, over time, my enjoyment of discovery and collecting grew.
''The importance of collecting wine was that it served as a distraction and gave me a balance in my life that helped me in dealing with the intensity and demands required of me as the manager of Manchester United.
''In retirement, I now have the time to visit the places and people that will feed my passion, so I felt it made sense to release a large number of the wines I had collected over the years. I hope many will enjoy exploring my collection.''
David Elswood, head of wine, Christie's, said: "A very strong combination of bidding from both wine lovers and fans of Sir Alex Ferguson CBE has resulted in an excellent sale total for today's auction, particularly for the wines of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.
"Chinese buyers continued to dominate in this sale and showed great enthusiasm, especially for the rarest wines of Burgundy, combined with some unique signed memorabilia from Sir Alex."
All sold prices include buyer's premium.

In a second auction failure, the obscure garage wine "Chateau Giggs, 2014" proved to have been overblown and oxidised, and has been bought up by the Van Gaal wholesaling business for catering purposes

Slur Alex does seem to have done the decent thing here and sold the wine he's been gifted from opposing managers and given the proceeds to charity.
Christies Hospital in Manchester is a superbly worthy cause, Taggart I take my hat off to you.

20-year-old Tiara Smith could be looking at more charges after Sunday's deadly wreck at Bobby Jones Expressway and Washington Road.
Andre Cumbermack realizes it could have been him that was killed in the June 4 accident.
Instead he walked away from his car, which is now totaled.
"I saw it coming and I say, 'What the hell is this?'" Cumbermack recalls.
The black Ford Explorer Smith was driving t-boned a Chrysler Cirrus before going airborne and flipping into Cumbermack's 1995 Toyota Corolla.
Deputies say it all started with shoplifting at Marshall's and a high speed getaway.
"They got into a vehicle, sped off, traveled eastbound on Washington Road, ran the red light at Bobby Jones and struck a vehicle that was northbound on Bobby Jones crossing Washington Road," says Maj. Rick Whitacker of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies say there was a family of four inside the car Smith hit.
The driver, 37-year-old Lonnie Turner, and his mother, 63-year-old Margaret Branton, both died. Turner's wife Mary lost their unborn child in the crash. Their four year old was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Ranie Cumbermack got to the scene right after a call from her ex-husband.
"Then I saw then bringing bags to put these people and they say those people died instantly," she says.
"I know at the time our traffic unit in contact was with her she was running 70 in a 45," Maj. Whitaker says.
And for Andre Cumbermack, although things appear to be back to normal at Bobby Jones and Washington Road, the markings there are a reminder that something went terribly wrong.
"I was thinking, 'This woman is crazy. Whoever is driving is crazy. Suppose she kill me.'"
"We come home immediately, we kneel down and pray and thank God for saving his life," Ranie Cumbermack says.
Deputies plan to add shoplifting charges to the 11 charges already filed against Tiara Smith after viewing the surveillance tape from the department store.
Tiara Smith's passenger, Nebula McNeely, is in serious condition at MCG. Shoplifting charges are also pending for her.

We know that Bishop Blaise was martyred in his episcopal city of Sebastea, Armenia, in 316. The legendary Acts of St. Blase were written 400 years later. According to them Blase was a good bishop, working hard to encourage the spiritual and physical health of his people. Although the Edict of Toleration (311), granting freedom of worship in the Roman Empire, was already five years old, persecution still raged in Armenia. Blaise was apparently forced to flee to the back country. There he lived as a hermit in solitude and prayer, but he made friends with the wild animals. One day a group of hunters seeking wild animals for the amphitheater stumbled upon Blaise's cave. They were first surprised and then frightened. The bishop was kneeling in prayer surrounded by patiently waiting wolves, lions and bears.
The legend has it that as the hunters hauled Blaise off to prison, a mother came with her young son who had a fish bone lodged in his throat. At Blaise's command the child was able to cough up the bone.
Agricolaus, governor of Cappadocia, tried to persuade Blase to sacrifice to pagan idols. The first time Blaise refused, he was beaten. The next time he was suspended from a tree and his flesh torn with iron combs or rakes. (English wool combers, who used similar iron combs, took Blaise as their patron. They could easily appreciate the agony the saint underwent.) Finally, he was beheaded.

Report: Chat Jones' death accidental
Medical examiner's report confirms initial findings
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
A North Carolina Medical Examiner's report confirms that Hendersonville businessman and philanthropist Chat Jones died of accidental causes on Oct. 12.
After his evening meal, Jones returned to his business, Jones Auto Sales, to work on a truck with its engine running, the report states. After a review of evidence at the scene and injuries to Jones' body, the medical examiner concluded that Jones fell off a ladder and struck his head, causing him to lose consciousness. While unconscious, Jones suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, which resulted in his death, the report states.

SAN JOSE -- Talk about beautiful music making you swoon.
It was the final round of the 15th annual San Jose International Piano Competition and Italian classical pianist Sebastian Di Bin was knee-deep into the third movement of a Beethoven sonata when the lights went out.
His lights.
"The theater has no AC and it was blistering hot on stage Saturday afternoon, and he was dehydrated and he fainted," said Dan Morgan, who along with wife, Irina, co-founded the internationally acclaimed event, held each year in downtown San Jose at a small concert hall called Le Petit Trianon. "He was slumped over the keyboard."
Fortunately, there was a doctor in the house, "one of our big supporters who's a shy guy and probably doesn't want his name in the paper," Morgan said Sunday. "But he took Sebastian to the green room, got him to sit up and got him water, and kept checking his dehydration levels and his heart rate."
Morgan said there were 150 audience members on hand for the playoff round between Di Bin and two other pianists in the advanced category who'd been whittled down from a starting count of 22 -- and seeing the pianist go limp mid-Beethoven was scary.
"We were all really shocked," Morgan said. "People were crying. But after a while, he came back and finished the piece. It was a phenomenal performance of an extremely difficult piece to play, along with a Chopin rondo and a Liszt sonata. It was one of the best performances we've seen in 15 years, and the judges were completely blown away."
Di Bin, 32, not only won the gold medal, which carries a $5,000 prize but later won another $500 prize that the audience votes on.
"We're so pleased that everything turned out OK," Morgan said. "Usually you only see things like this in the movies."

Family's Legacy Ends: K-T Pharmacy Leaves Prescription Business After 57 Years
Height marks on the end of a shelf show the growth of customers and staff.
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 5:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 5:05 a.m.
BARTOW | After 57 years in business, K-T Pharmacy in Bartow has sold out.
"We talked to the accountant," said owner Steven King, "and he said we were basically spending our savings to stay open. I wish I didn't have to get out of the pharmacy business, but under these conditions, I couldn't do it anymore."
On one day last year, King said, he filled 169 prescriptions and lost $212.
"The more I filled, the more money I lost," he said. "If I didn't have to deal with the government and insurance companies, I'd have kept going. But I had no control over what I paid for drugs, and no control over what I was being reimbursed."
King, 65, said he's sold his prescription business and drug inventory to Walgreens in Bartow, though he declined to reveal the sale price. The transition marks the end of the state's oldest independent pharmacy that's been continuously operated by the same family.
"My father, John, opened this pharmacy on Jan. 9, 1956," he said. "Our license was No. 19. It was real hard to give that up."
The oldest license currently on file with the state is No. 30, according to a spokeswoman for the state Department of Health.
The pharmacy shelves stand barren in the store at 490 E. Summerlin St., and a coat of whitewash blankets the K-T Pharmacy sign just outside the front door.
King and his wife, Linda, are hoping to keep their retail store open, transitioning it from a drug store to more of a general store, with milk and bread alongside the existing aspirin and Band-Aids. He said they can no longer use pharmacy in their name.
King isn't alone in his battle with the bottom line, said Kevin Schweers, spokesman for the National Community Pharmacists Association in Alexandria, Va.
In the last few years, he said, the number of independent pharmacists who reported they were operating at a loss has risen 50 percent.
"One in four is operating at a loss, and that trend is going up," he said.
At the core of this financial spiral is the amount these pharmacists are reimbursed for drugs they dispense, he said.
"Reimbursements for generic drugs have really gone down," he said, "and 80 percent of prescriptions today are generic. But the cost for these drugs has gone up."
In the end, King said he felt he had little choice.
"This is just one of the hardest things I've ever done," he said.
Jenifer Martin, who's been a customer of K-T Pharmacy since she began coming with her grandmother decades ago, said she misses the personal service.
"There was a time when they filled a prescription for my daughter, and I brought it home," she said. "Steve called me right after that and told me not to give it to her. He'd checked, and the doctor had made a mistake. That wasn't a medication for children. I don't know if another pharmacist would have noticed that."
More than once, King or his father has opened the doors after hours to fill a prescription.
"That was just normal business for us," he said. "We did that almost every weekend."
Amid the vitamin bottles and cold remedies lining the retail shelves are stacks of memorabilia tracing the store's 50-year history. A vintage Coca-Cola vending machine remains in the corner where workers placed it in 1962, and pharmacy supplies that most stores abandoned long ago remain in the store's original display cases as a tribute to the pharmacy profession.
Nearby, worn edges on a small round table, the kind you'd find in your neighbor's kitchen, stand as testimony to the nature of K-T Pharmacy's business.
"We've told many a story over this table," King said,
"We're a family here," he said, "and that's what makes this so hard. I hate it for our customers. They've always been here for us. They'd come in with smiles, even if they felt miserable. If we didn't have something they needed, they'd come back tomorrow. They were loyal to us."
Gail Smith, a customer since 1971, said she hates to see the pharmacy close.
"It makes me sad for Linda and Steve," she said, "and I hate to see a business that has been here for so long not be in business anymore. It's just so sad."

AUSTIN, Texas -- Formula One, the world's most popular form of motor sports, is trying once again to conquer its final frontier: the United States. This time, the Europeans aim to make it stick.
The glitzy sport with ultra-fast cars and a flair for the exotic has landed deep in the heart of Texas, of all places, with a gleaming new track, a down-to-the-wire championship race and hope that it can grab the attention of American race fans who rarely look up from the NASCAR standings.
After a five-year absence, the U.S. Grand Prix makes its return Sunday at the $400 million Circuit of The Americas, a course built expressly for F1 on rolling scrub land just a few miles southeast of downtown Austin.
"This is what was needed," said Mario Andretti, the 1978 F1 champion. "Now we can compete with the rest of the world and some of those new venues that have gone up in the last few years in the Middle East and Asia. That's the ingredient that was missing here in the United States."
Austin is the 10th American city to host F1 since the first U.S. Grand Prix in Sebring, Fla., in 1959. Watkins Glen, N.Y., hosted a Grand Prix from 1961-80 and other F1 races have been held in Long Beach, Las Vegas, Detroit, Dallas, Phoenix and other cities on street courses.
As NASCAR grew into the dominant series in this country, demand and interest for open-wheel racing took a hit and F1 didn't even race in the United States from 1992-99 before making its return at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Even there, it couldn't last and track officials and F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone parted ways.
F1 had seemingly abandoned the U.S. until Ecclestone made the surprise announcement in May 2010 that it would return with a 10-year deal to race at a track that hadn't even been built. With billionaire Red McCombs one of the key investors in the project, organizers began a mad dash to build the track.
Austin seemed an odd choice. A trendy city of about 1.5 million, Austin bills itself as the "Live Music Capital of the World" and is the capital of Texas. But it hardly fits in with the other F1 destinations such as Monte Carlo, Melbourne, Shanghai or Singapore. Austin mayor Lee Leffingwell joked that Austin hosting F1 was "sort of like Mayberry having the Super Bowl."
The U.S. Grand Prix achieved its mandatory goal of getting the track built, but the challenge will be how to succeed and keep drawing fans beyond the initial excitement of the inaugural race.
Bruton Smith, chairman of Speedway Motorsports Inc. which owns and operates eight tracks, was dismissive of F1's future in the U.S. and the possibility of it picking off fans from NASCAR.
"Formula One has never been anything in this country. Go back and check it," Smith said.
Zak Brown, chief executive and founder of the Just Marketing International firm that caters to auto racing, sees a different scenario. The return of F1 to the U.S. at the Circuit of the Americas is the footprint the sport needs in the American landscape.
"It's massively important," Brown said. "North America has been the one market where they've really struggled."
Brown noted F1 recently signed a new, four-year broadcast deal with NBC Sports Group. The exclusive rights deal, which begins next season, will provide more than 100 hours of programming across NBC and cable channel NBC Sports Network.
Andretti said he hopes F1's return to the U.S. will nurture a homegrown driver of the future.
"I always say F1 is like the Olympics." he said. "There's a lot of national pride and to have an American representing his country would be fabulous."
Vettel won the pole position Saturday, putting the German in the perfect spot to chase his third consecutive world title. Vettel, 25, could be just the third driver -- and youngest -- to win three consecutive world championships, joining Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton qualified second, and Red Bull's Mark Webber was third at the 3.427-mile circuit.
Alonso finished ninth in qualifying but will start No. 8 after Lotus' Romain Grosjean was penalized for changing his gearbox after the third practice session.

Meeting Street Academy in Spartanburg plans to expand, accepting applications
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 7:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 7:42 p.m.
Meeting Street Academy is accepting applications for its next class of students.
The school's Spartanburg campus opened to 3- and 4-year-old preschool students in July, and it will expand to include 5-year-old kindergarten in its second year.
Director Trish Scarry said that about 40 applications have been received for the three grade levels so far, but the application period will remain open through Jan. 19. She said 20 to 30 new students will be accepted.
"I'd like to see a lot more (applications)," Scarry said. "We're still trying to get our name out there."
MSA targets students zoned for low-performing schools whose families lack the financial means to pay for private education. Scarry said that tuition totals roughly $2 a day, plus another $1 for after-school activities.
Thirty-seven students are enrolled at the school, which is on East Broad Street in a portion of the Broadwalk Shoppes. MSA plans to expand by one grade level per year through the fifth grade, and leaders expect enrollment to total about 175 students.
"We've had a great year," Scarry said. "We love the location, and the community's been wonderful."
Applications are available at the school or on its website, www.meetingstreetacademy.com.
