PHOENIX -- Eddie House had one of those unforgettable nights for Arizona State a dozen years ago, paying back Cal for not recruiting him by torching them for 61 points.
That his memorable game didn't even match the second half of Jack Taylor's record-setting performance nearly left the loquacious House speechless.
"Eighty points in 20 minutes? Come on guy, that's ridiculous," House said from his Scottsdale, Ariz., home Wednesday. "That's just unbelievable."
A sophomore at Grinnell College in Iowa, Taylor lit up the basketball world and beyond Tuesday night by setting an NCAA record with 138 points in the Pioneers' 179-104 home victory over Faith Baptist Bible.
Slightly-built at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, Taylor had 58 points by halftime and kept firing, taking down records as the shots fell through.
Taylor broke the NCAA record with 4:42 left in the game and went on to smash it by 25 points, hoisting an are-you-serious 108 shots -- one every 20 seconds. He took 71 shots from the 3-point arc, more than some players take an entire season, and made 27.
"Seventy-one? I can't even imagine," said House, the former Hayward High star who retired from the Miami Heat in 2011 after 11 NBA seasons with nine teams. "That's like a pregame workout."
Current NBA players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony had plenty of praise for Taylor, and so did House.
"I couldn't imagine taking all those shots," House said. "I know it was fun, though. It had to be fun."
House had a little fun of his own against Cal.
He grew up in the Bay Area and considered the Bears his hometown team. Despite getting offers from numerous schools, Cal didn't even send House a questionnaire, much less a scholarship offer.
Using the slight as motivation, he had extra focus every time the Sun Devils played Cal, wanting a little see-what-I-can-do payback.
House got it on Jan. 8, 2000.
Playing in Berkeley, Arizona State and Cal went back and forth in a tight game that went to two overtimes.
House got hot early and his teammates kept feeding him.
Stroking jumpers and dropping in floaters, he scored 61 points that night, breaking the school record and tying the Pac-12 mark set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- then known as Lew Alcindor -- for UCLA 33 years earlier.

IMI launches seven projects
11.06.2012 - The Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) has announced details on seven projects funded with a total budget of €215m.
The projects funded within the next five years include two coordinated by GlaxoSmithKline plc: model-based preclinical development of anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug combinations (PreDiCT-TB), which aim to make tuberculosis treatments more patient-friendly; and development of tools to predict immune response to biopharmaceuticals (ABIRISK). Sanofi is coordinating the DIRECT project to research patient stratification for personalised Type II diabetes treatments. Novartis AG and The University of Surrey (UK) are working on a project to develop biomarkers to test the safety of vaccines (BIOVACSAFE). A project coordinated by AstraZeneca plc is to develop tests for drug-induced liver injury (MIP-DILI); and one consortium coordinated by Roche seeks to develop research tools and diagnostics for autism spectrum disorder (EU-AIMS).
IMI also announced the launch of a Education and Training project called EUPATI, which shall create a European Patients' Academy on Therapeutic Innovation. Its aim is to educate patients and the public about medicines development and empower patients to engage more effectively in the drug development process. The new projects mean that IMI is now supporting a total of 30 projects with a combined total cost of over €650m. IMI is a public-private partnership in health research and development. The European Union contributes €1 bn to the IMI research programme, which is matched by contributions worth at least another €1bn from the member companies of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA).http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/imi-launches-seven-projects.html

BEREA, Ky. - Union College's Sergio Gonzalez recorded a double-double, scoring a game-high 27 points, while snatching 12 rebounds, leading the Bulldogs to a thrilling 76-75 victory at Berea (Ky.) on Thursday evening in NAIA men's basketball action.
With the victory, Union moved to 6-5 on the year, while Berea fell to 7-4 with the loss.
"Tonight was definitely a big step in the right direction for us," said head coach Kevin Burton. "We had some great individual performances by Josh Smith, whose intensity and will to win led us, and Sergio [Gonzalez], who had some huge rebounds throughout the game. Overall, I was very pleased with our effort, and it was great to pull out a win in a tough environment."
In the first half, Union got off to a quick start, opening up a 12-4 lead with 14:34 left in the period after Gonzalez drained a three-pointer. A few minutes later, UC went up nine (13-5) after a James Strange trey. Berea. however, came back to tie the game up at 20-all with 8:35 left.
With six minutes left, the game was still tied, at 24-24. Here, the Bulldogs ended the half on a flurry, opening up a nine-point lead (38-29) with 41 seconds left after another Gonzalez three. Berea scored the final basket of the period, as the Bulldogs held a 38-31 lead after the first period.
To start the second half, Union continued to roll, opening up a big 20-point lead with 14:59 left in the game after a Smith free throw. Berea began to slowly chip away at the lead over the next 10 minutes, but still trailed by 10 at 70-60 with 4:24 left.
This was where Berea made a furious comeback, going on a 13-2 run over the next three minutes to take a lead for the first time since early in the contest at 73-72 with 1:41 left. Union, however, didn't allow Berea to have the lead for long, as they stormed down the court to create a Smith lay-in with 1:30 left, giving the Bulldogs the lead back at 74-73.
After a Berea turnover on their next trip down the floor, Strange knocked down a big jumper in the lane to give UC a 76-73 lead with 59 seconds left. In the final moments of the contest, UC had chances to put Berea away, but had a turnover, and missed two free throws, giving Berea the ball back with nine seconds left and a chance to tie.
On their final possession, the Mountaineers failed to knock down a three, settling for a lay-in at the buzzer to give the Bulldogs a hard-fought one-point win on the road.
Overall, Gonzalez's 27-point night came from some hot shooting from the floor, as the junior went 11-of-14 from the floor and a perfect 3-of-3 from outside the arc. Gonzalez's double-double was the first of his UC career.
The only other Bulldog to score in double digits was Smith, who finished with 16, while recording six steals. Meanwhile, Archie Adams matched Gonzalez's rebound total on the night with 12 'boards of his own.
Berea was led in the defeat by Aaron Ponder, who scored 17 points.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Saturday, traveling to Cincinnati Christian for another out-of-conference contest. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

text: Current GMP expectations are that new test methods must bring an overall improvement to measuring process and product quality. From a regulatory perspective, "improved" means that new test methods should perform equal to or better than classical methods (compendial or otherwise officially recognized) or approved methods (licensed) in regards to their critical method performance characteristics. Although an incentive for the firm, many method improvements such as cost-savings in reagents and automation do not necessarily demonstrate a sufficient improvement to the regulatory authorities. An equal or improved performance of the new or candidate test method versus the current one should be demonstrated by method comparability studies concurrent or after completion of the formal AMV studies. The method comparability studies could be included as part of the formal AMV protocol or simply be executed under a separate protocol after the AMV was completed. From a regulatory perspective, both are acceptable as long as all data was generated under a formal protocol with pre-specified acceptance criteria. Performing a separate method comparability study after AMV completion has several advantages. If the AMV results reveal that a method was not optimized, time and effort will be saved by holding off the comparability studies until the new method is ready. Also, the potential differences between results generated by both methods could be estimated and used to support the studies before the formal method comparability is initiated. However, pre-specified method comparability acceptance criteria should not be derived only from this knowledge. The candidate method's acceptability should be compared to the current method with respect to historical process control data in relation to the relevant release specifications. Other sources of method comparability acceptance criteria such as being within an acceptable difference that is/was shown to be clinically insignificant may also be justifiable.

Samsung Shares Oscars Spotlight
As Ellen DeGeneres had her big moment with an epic selfie during the Oscars that got a record-high number of retweets on Twitter, Samsung Electronics also got a slice of fame.
As part of its sponsorship and ad agreement for the Oscars with ABC, the TV network airing the show, Samsung and its media buying firm Starcom MediaVest negotiated to have its Galaxy smartphone integrated into the show, two people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
Samsung, in its push to market its products, showered the big show with a myriad of devices. Using 10 large-sized Samsung television sets, 21 tablet computers and 55 smartphones, among others, the company filled a wall that measures 5.3 meters wide and 2.6 meters tall with its products at one of the waiting rooms.
The Samsung devices – totaling 86 in number to match the show's 86th anniversary – displayed memorable scenes from widely viewed movies, according to the company.
The Sochi Olympics was one of the latest events where the company heavily promoted its Galaxy devices. Samsung even distributed a press release on how the company's devices were taking part in the games.
It even launched a video campaign dubbed "Keep on Pushing," featuring the Jamaican bobsleigh team to "help spread the Olympic spirit," according to a statement posted on its website.

School of Nursing: CPNE®
CPNE® Eligibility Requirements
Successful completion of the Nursing Theory series and the Focused Clinical Competencies Assessment (FCCA®) is required of students enrolled in the Associate Degree in nursing programs. There are eligibility requirements for the CPNE and FCCA.

They assess essential knowledge of medical, surgical, maternity, pediatric, and psychiatric nursing as integrated with knowledge related to growth and development, nutrition and pharmacology, ethical and legal issues, and sciences.
There are two options to fulfill the Nursing Theory requirements: courses and exams. Each nursing theory content area must be passed before taking the FCCA and CPNE.
One option is to enroll in and complete nursing theory courses.
The other option is to take a nursing theory exam:
- Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Differences
- Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Safety
- Foundations in Nursing Practice
- Health Differences Across the Life Span 1
- Health Differences Across the Life Span 2
- Health Differences Across the Life Span 3
- Reproductive Health
- Transition to the Professional Nurse Role
*Note: You are exempt from taking Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Differences if you meet the following two conditions: You successfully passed the NCLEX-PN exam within five years of enrollment and you have not failed the Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Differences, Nursing Concepts 2, or Commonalities in Nursing Care Area B examination.
Get free content guides, registration information and practice exam details:
To be eligible for the FCCA you will need to complete the Nursing Theory series and be within 10 General Education credits of completing your degree. The FCCA is graded as Pass/Fail and is worth four credits when passed.
This online, simulated clinical assessment provides a means for students to demonstrate competencies related to the following two essential elements of nursing practice:
- Head-to-toe assessment and nursing process
- Managing Multiple Patients/Working with Interdisciplinary Teams
You may take the sections in any order.
Note: You will be contacted about registration when you become eligible for the FCCA.
Test Preparation Advisory
Preparation for Excelsior College® Examinations, though based on independent study, is supported by Excelsior College with a comprehensive set of exam learning resources and services designed to help you succeed.
These learning resources are prepared by Excelsior College so you can be assured that they are current and cover the content you are expected to master for the exams. These resources, and your desire to learn, are usually all that you will need to succeed.
There are test-preparation companies that will offer to help you study for our examinations. Some may imply a relationship with Excelsior College and/or make claims that their products and services are all that you need to prepare for our examinations.
Excelsior College is not affiliated with any test preparation firm and does not endorse the products or services of these companies. No test preparation vendor is authorized to provide admissions counseling or academic advising services, or to collect any payments, on behalf of Excelsior College. Excelsior College does not send authorized representatives to a student's home.
Depending upon your individual learning style and needs, you may consider using the services and products of a test preparation vendor to help you prepare for an Excelsior College Examination. Some students have found such materials beneficial while others have not. The decision to purchase the services and products of any of these vendors is entirely up to you.
Excelsior College does not review the materials provided by test preparation companies for content or compatibility with Excelsior College Examinations.
To help you become a well-informed consumer we suggest that you consider the following before making any purchase decision regarding study materials provided by organizations other than Excelsior College.
Does the company:
- Clearly articulate that it is an independent business enterprise, separate from Excelsior College, and that it is not a degree granting institution?
- Clearly inform you that the products and services it provides have not been reviewed, nor are they endorsed, by Excelsior College?
- Openly indicate that it is not an agent of Excelsior College, that it is not authorized to provide admissions counseling or academic advising regarding Excelsior's degree requirements, and that all its costs and fees are separate from those you will pay to the College?
- Have a record of unresolved complaints/disputes with consumer protection agencies, nursing boards, attorneys general offices, or other similar organizations?
- Require clients to commit to long-term, binding contracts to access its products and services?
- Provide data to substantiate the satisfaction of its clients with its products and services?
We have been made aware of several recent incidents in which a test-preparation firm has contacted an Excelsior College student requesting access to their Excelsior College Examinations ® preparatory materials, including practice exams. Sharing learning resources with a test-preparation firm is a clear violation of the academic honesty code. Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty at Excelsior College will be subject to disciplinary action.
If you are approached by any individual or third-party about sharing any Excelsior College provided study materials, please contact us at PR (at) excelsior.edu.

Here's a protein-packed lunch idea featuring healthy guacamole, cheddar cheese and a dollop of creativity for your little Bot fan.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Tint the cream cheese light blue with the blue food coloring and spoon into a small plastic resealable bag.
Use the rim of a glass or a large round cookie cutter to cut the white bread into a 4-inch circle. Cut a 3/4-inch circle from the scraps. Remove a 1/2-inch piece from one edge of bread. Cut the pumpernickel bread into a 5 x 1 1/2-inch rectangle. Cut the slice of cheese into a 5-inch x 3/4-inch rectangle.
Spread the guacamole on top of the two round bread slices and make smooth. Place the pumpernickel bread rectangle along the cut edge on top of the guacamole. Lay the slice of cheese along the top edge of pumpernickel bread, pressing it into the guacamole.
Snip a small corner from the bag with the cream cheese. Pipe the cream cheese over the pumpernickel bread, leaving an opening as the mouth. Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese and make smooth.
Cut a slice from the open end of the black olive. Place it on top of the small circle of bread. Cut two 1/4-inch circles from the remaining black olive as the eyes. Arrange the eyes in the guacamole. Break the thin pretzel stick in half. Insert one end into the flat side of the carrot slice and the other end into the side of the small bread circle. Arrange the antennae at the top right of sandwich.

3. Collected links for Faye story: 21:38
If you're looking for more information on "Faye", check out the following links. I've compiled them from the updates on 2004.10.29%231 to make your browsing life easier.
Static pages:
- Faye being used in political attack on gov't? (2004.11.04) The
Postscript article points out that this is not just about the existence or nonexistence of Faye or even the veracity of the story, but also the political criticism in the story.
- Is Faye's story true, or just another fairy tale? (2004.11.02) The
previous column raised questions that need to be answered.
- Misplaced priorities can mislead the nation (base article) The article
from Bread of Life Ministries.
Dynamic pages, discussion:
- J. Angelo Racoma's blog - (Hey, long time no see. I know him from
way back.) Has archived copy of Evangelista follow-up and link to Philstar article, which will be broken really soon because Philstar doesn't archive articles. Odd, that. Anyway, the blog is probably the best resource you'll find. Check the Nov 5, Nov%204 and Nov%203 entries.
- The Faye Story (ongoing), a blog entry with a lot of discussion. A
number of people in the discussion are convinced it's a hoax. Others claim it is true. The discussion becomes racist near the end, but is otherwise interesting. Another discussion from the same blog has degenerated into puns and kneejerk proofs of how it's impossible to verify identity on the Internet, but may eventually contain something interesting. <shrug>
- GovPH thread (2004.10.29 - present) Another discussion forum with a
handful of posts. Patricia Evangelista's first article is reposted here. cetacea commented that the constant references to Jasmine Trias seems to be a display of crab mentality.
- PinoyPC - Noteworthy because of the scan of the original ad,
if you're into that sort of thing.
2. Will move to a hotel: 20:15
Aris will check out of the hotel on Saturday and move back to TKC. I'm meeting Tomoko on Friday night for another trip, though, so I need to move my luggage earlier. I don't think it'll fit within coin lockers. Logistics are somewhat complicated...
- 1. I need an overnight bag for Friday-Saturday containing pajamas and two changes of clothes for the next day. (Onsen trip.)
- 2. I need business clothes for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
- 3. I can leave luggage at TKC.
- 4. If I don't mind walking for 20 minutes, I can pass by TKC on the
way to Ayase.
- 5. I will be late if I have to go back to TKC or Ayase on Friday night.
- 6. My onsen trip is on Saturday.
- 7. Coin lockers are generally only for one day, so leaving a
Thursday-Friday overnight bag at Shinjuku is out of the question.
- 8. I may be able to leave my overnight bag and/or work bag in the
MONDAY NIGHT: Lug big luggage down to lobby. Put aside clothes in a bag, and label them clearly. I need business clothes for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I can include Fri/Sat overnight clothes in this bundle. Wear pleated skirt, which will be packed.
TUESDAY: Put pajamas into a small bag and add them to my left-behind luggage. Go to work carrying normal work bag. Check into the hotel in the evening. AOTS will make sure my set-aside clothes will be there by then.
WEDNESDAY: Wear black striped skirt and black blouse.
THURSDAY: Bring Fri/Sat overnight clothes to work.. Leave work bag in office.
FRIDAY: Check out of the hotel in the morning. Bring hotel clothes to work. Pick up overnight trip clothes. Leave blazer in office.
SATURDAY: Trip! =)
SUNDAY: Unpack dress, hang to deal with wrinkles.
MONDAY AFTER: Bring work bag and hotel bag back to TKC.
Oh no! The Tokyo Linux Users Group meeting might be during that weekend! That changes things. I promised to give a talk on personal information management, and it's something I've also really been looking forward to...
Let me e-mail Tomoko to see if we can move the onsen trip. Going for the Tokyo Linux Users Group thing makes my packing a little bit easier, because I don't have to worry about the overnight.
1. Update on Faye: 17:00
- Faye being used in political attack on gov't? (2004.11.04) - Is Faye's story true, or just another fairy tale? (2004.11.02)
- The Faye Story, a blog
entry with many comments. Turns into a racist discussion near the end, but oh well.
There's apparently a followup by Patricia Chanco Evangelista in the 11/05/2004 Philippine STAR, but I can't find an online copy. I saw it on a mailing list, though, which means people will probably forward it again. <wry grin>

Star Trek exhibit a hit at the fair
DEL MAR Die hard Star Trek fans can have a close encounter with memorabilia, costumes and props used in the popular, science fiction TV series and films at this year's San Diego County Fair.
"It was really cool," said Matthew Hunter, 33, of Chula Vista as he and his family walked out of Star Trek: The Exhibition at the fair Wednesday morning.
Hunter had just had his picture taken sitting in the captain's chair on a replica of the USS Enterprise command bridge. He said he brought his own Star Trek costume just for the occasion.
The bridge set is one of the most popular attractions at the exhibit, said Mark J. Richman, a manager and self- described lifelong Trekkie.
"People love this," Richman said. "I sold two (Star Trek) costumes yesterday and immediately they wanted to come back to have their picture taken in the chair."
Richman often walks around the exhibit floor answering questions and telling people little known stories about Star Trek, including one about how character Geordi La Forge in the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was named by series creator Gene Roddenberry in honor of George La Forge, a quadriplegic fan whose dying wish was to meet the cast of the original "Star Trek" series.
"I was born a Trekkie," Richman said. "This is my dream nerd job."
The exhibit — which has an admission fee of $5 — also includes miniature models of the space ships used in filming the shows and original costumes worn by the cast of the series and feature films.
Among the costumes is the one worn by Ricardo Montalban, who played Khan Noonien Singh, in the film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and another worn by Whoopi Goldberg in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
Visitors can wander around the exhibit on their own or they can talk to volunteers, sometimes dressed in costume, about the show and the many pieces in the exhibit.
"I could be there all day," said Esperanza Hunter, Matthew Hunter's mother, as they left the exhibit.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Commissioners in Columbia County are set to approve a new library system Tuesday night, separating from the East Central Georgia Regional System.
The new system will save a lot of money for taxpayers in Columbia County. With state funding, though, if someone's getting more money, that means someone else is getting less.
Columbia County continues to grow, and more people bring change -- even to the library.
"It's just a natural progression for this county here, and we're ready to go with it," said Barry Smith, Columbia County director of Community and Leisure Services.
Right now, five counties make up the East Central Georgia Regional Library System, but Columbia County is set to separate, starting its own with Lincoln County and possibly Warren County.
"It's an exciting time, but any time you start something new, there's more work involved," Smith said.
With the move, Columbia County would save about $130,000 every year in membership costs. They estimate they will gain nearly $400,000 more in funds and positions to distribute in the new system.
"It's a win for Warren, win for Lincoln and a win for Columbia County. This is more funding than either of the three counties currently receive," Smith said.
And if more money and jobs head to Columbia County, that means less state funding will be coming to the downtown Augusta branch and regional headquarters.
"I know that it will mean some changes here," said Roberta Wilder, head of Technical Services with the East Central Georgia Regional System. "If there are fewer counties to serve, then it may mean some job shifting and reassignment of personnel. Without having the numbers finalized, it's a little difficult to tell."
It's a move shaking up a normally quiet system.
"We were not surprised by this at all. We're disappointed that we can't remain together. We've worked a long time together, and I think it's worked well, but I can understand that they have a need to expand on their own," Wilder said.
In July, Richmond County's six libraries circulated 60,840 books and media. That's only about 5,000 more than Columbia County's 55,668 at its three libraries. The Evans branch consistently out-circulates the Augusta branch.
"The state looks at statistics and they see that Columbia County, we're moving a lot of materials in the library here," Smith said.
"They feel the need to make a move; we are sad about it, but we understand what's going on behind it. I just hope that it all can work out amicably," Wilder said.
Workers at the Augusta headquarters say it's particularly sad to see Lincoln County leave. They say there's been no issue in terms of services there.
Warren County plans to make its decision at a commission meeting Thursday. Columbia County is under the impression it will be making the move, too, and is already counting them in its figures.
If Columbia County commissioners approve the move, they will need to notify the regional system they are leaving by the end of the year.
The new system would go into affect next July.

The former Hostess bakery in Biddeford could soon have a new owner, as a bankruptcy judge hears a proposed bid to buy the Hostess bread brands later this morning.
Earlier this month, Flowers Foods announced it was looking to buy the 20 Hostess brands bakeries and 38 depots which includes the Biddeford plant. If the sale goes through, the deal is worth $390 million. The bankruptcy judge must approve Flowers Foods bid, and then the process moves to auction which is scheduled to be held Monday.
There's no word if the former Hostess employees in Biddeford or across the country will be hired back.

Air in your attic can reach 150°F during the summer, warming your home, increasing the load on your air conditioner, and adding to your energy bill. In winter, ice dams can result from poor ventilation, and moist air in the home can condense on attic surfaces causing mildew, rotting wood and wet insulation. BROAN has the solution!
It's quite simple. You may use some rooms only briefly, such as the bathroom, as you get ready for work in the morning. Heating the entire home for this purpose is pointless. Instead, opt for spot heating, which will effectively heat the area you need – when you need it.
No one really talks about the waste can under the kitchen sink. It's a necessary evil, or so they say. But that all changes with a BROAN Elite Trash Compactor. BROAN has been designing and producing these convenience appliances for nearly 40 years, refining the product while defining the category. And the result? A line of products that is the perfect complement to today's high-style appliances, and environmentally-conscious homeowners.
Recessed lights are popular lighting solutions. BROAN took it a step further by incorporating powerful ventilation in same design and now we have additional energy efficiency with LED lighting. Our recessed fan lights disappear into the ceiling with other recessed lights, so they are practical decorating and air removal solutions for any room in the house. The LED bulb provides 25,000 hours of light, significantly reducing the amount of time you have to spend replacing light bulbs.

drake, how old is your dog?
Signing off for tonight, brain doesn't work after 8:30 pm. I think with the brain power on this forum, we can come up with a good solution for you tomorrow, hang in there.
Here is a combination of food , e collar and no rope. Its a 5 month 3 week pup. ever week is a giant leap in a puppies life... With this method you can teach the dog the position with absolutely no forging . As the dog gets older,, corrections will be involved and a higher level of force,,,because eventually the focus will be out in the field and not up at the trainer. You can't tell here that the dog is being forced but you may be able to tell when its used based on the dogs behavior and then see the change. Its pretty gentile but very effective on a young pup that doesn't have a whole lot of distractions

PARKERSBURG- In what may be a first in West Virginia, a Wood County magistrate voluntarily recused herself from a case after it was brought to her attention that she was a Facebook friend with a police officer involved in the case.
In the Wood County Magistrate Court case of City of Vienna v. James Paul Weigle, Magistrate Joyce Purkey recused herself after she was informed she was friends with Vienna Police Sgt. R.L. Pifer.
Wood County Circuit Court Judge J.D. Beane, the supervising judge over the magistrate court in Wood County, said Purkey voluntarily recused herself from the case.
"What happened it was brought to her attention they were friends there," Beane said. "To avoid an appearance of impropriety she voluntarily recused her self and I signed the order. She did this to avoid the situation since it was raised. I don't think she recalled they were friends and she was willing to step aside."
Beane said no one thought she was recusing herself to avoid the case.
Beane said the term friend as far as Facebook is concerned can be misleading.
"People can add friends but that does not mean they are that close," he said. "But to avoid an appearance of impropriety she asked to be removed from the case."
According to court records, the case was reassigned to Magistrate Robin Waters and a hearing has been set for 1 p.m. Aug. 15.
Jennifer Bundy, the public information officer for the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, said the recusal is a first in the state as far as court personnel know.
Bundy said while some states have specific rules regarding the use of social media by court officers, West Virginia does not.
"We use the Canon of Judicial Ethics," she said. "It provides some guidance but not specifically to social media."
Bundy added there have been no requests for an opinion related to social media to the court's judicial investigation commission.
According to magistrate court records, the incident in the case stems from a traffic stop on April 21, 2010. Weigle of Vienna was charged with obstructing during the Vienna Road Run at the intersection of 34th Street and Grand Central Avenue.
According to the complaint, a car in the southbound lane was honking his horn for a long time and an officer went back to speak with the driver, Weigle. The report states Weigle refused to give Pifer his license when requested.
"He was directed to pull over," the complaint states. "The suspect complied and used coarse language about how he felt being detained by the Vienna Road Race."
The report continues to state Weigle was agitated and aggressive in speech and stance and attempted to leave.
According to the report, Pifer barred him then turned him toward his cruiser and placed him on the hood of the car.
"He refused to be handcuffed and Pifer held his left arm at the elbow," the complaint states. "Pifer's right arm lifted the defendant's head for Sgt. B.K. Ingraham.
"Ingraham advised him to release his arms to be cuffed and then produced pepper spray and advised he would use the pepper spray. At that time, Weigle released his arms and he was handcuffed."
When contacted by the newspaper Wednesday, Weigle declined to comment on the case. Purkey did not return a phone call Wednesday requesting a comment.

The first step in psoriasis therapy is to apply treatment directly to the surface of the skin. This may involve the use of prescription or non-prescription topical therapies. The purpose of these treatments is to heal inflammation and reduce other symptoms of psoriasis. Non-prescription topical therapies that work on the skin include, but are not limited to:
Exposure to sunlight can suppress the immune system (activated T cells) in the skin, thus reducing inflammation and slowing the rapid growth of skin cells. People with mild-to-moderate psoriasis may benefit from short, daily doses of sunlight, while people with more extensive psoriasis may require ultraviolet light A (UVA) or ultraviolet light B (UVB) treatment in medically approved centers. (See phototherapy section below.) You should always check with your doctor or dermatologist before self-treating.
A remedy used for centuries, coal tar improves scaling, itching, and inflammation. It is very effective as a shampoo or oil for scalp psoriasis or on the skin. The treatment may be used by itself or in conjunction with ultraviolet light. Although improved, coal tar products may be messy.
Keeping the skin moisturized is an important part of psoriasis treatment and will reduce itching and inflammation and promote flexibility. It is recommended that non-irritating moisturizing creams or ointments be applied on a regular basis. In addition, soaking in water will soothe skin. Healing can be enhanced by adding solutions to bath water, such as Dead Sea salts, oiled oatmeal, and Epsom salts.
In addition to limited natural sunlight, exposure to a certain wavelength of artificial ultraviolet light called ultraviolet light B (UVB) is very effective for people with moderate to severe psoriasis or plaque areas that do not respond to other treatments. More severe psoriasis can be treated with ultraviolet light A (UVA) and a medication called psoralen. Psoralen is an oral or topical medication that makes the body more sensitive to light. This treatment is known as PUVA.
Most phototherapy is given 3-5 times per week for 1-3 months by using a light panel or light box at a clinic or in your doctor's office. In certain cases, you may be able to use a light box or light panel in your home under your doctor's guidance.
Traditionally, the wavelength of UVB treatments was "broadband." Today, newer sources provide narrow-band UVB, which emits the part of the ultraviolet spectrum that is most helpful to treating psoriasis.
This type of laser is designed to produce ultraviolet radiation at a very specific wavelength. The excimer laser is used to treat small, resistant plaque areas of psoriasis.
Phototherapy treatments are sometimes combined with other treatments for a stronger therapy program. Examples of phototherapy treatment combinations include:
Certain treatments may work well initially, but lose their effectiveness as your body develops resistance. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe another type of treatment and continue trying new methods as needed to keep your psoriasis under control.

For local photographer Matt Inden, the next step is almost always a challenging one. That's not just because it's hard to make it as a landscape photographer, and it's not because hiking, climbing or skiing to the right location can often be difficult, even dangerous.
It's also because of the camera.
"There are some obvious inconveniences to the camera ... the size, the weight, the limited amount of film available," Inden said. "And it's also a slow, methodical process, so you can miss moments. That's the beauty of it - and the curse of it."
The camera itself looks like something pulled from the pages of history, and in a way, it is. The large-format view camera was built in the early 1950s from an age-old design (think Ansel Adams) and operates using accordion-style bellows and hand cranks for focusing.
Inden uses modern lenses, and the 8-by-10-inch piece of film, to create an image quality that is still unsurpassed, even in today's high-tech, digital era.
All this makes it worth carrying the camera to places around the country and right here in the Rocky Mountains, where Inden makes his images.
It's also helped him establish a name in landscape photography. Inden's first gallery opened in 2010 in Lionshead, across from the Arrabelle, next to the French Deli in Vail.
Inden will be hosting an image-release party Friday at his gallery from 4 to 7 p.m., open to the public. Several new images, made this autumn in the Rocky Mountains, as well as the East Coast, will be revealed, and tapas will be served.

Bradenton Couple Accused of Having Sex in Front of Beachgoers
Witnesses include 4-year-old, police say
Published: Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 4:21 p.m.
BRADENTON BEACH | A Bradenton couple were arrested after they began to have sex on Bradenton Beach on Sunday morning in front of a 4-year-old and a witness who recorded the whole romp on video.
The Bradenton Beach Police Department said a distressed mother called 911 after she allegedly saw Elissa Alvarez, 20, and Jose Caballero, 39, both of Bradenton, fondle each other and begin to have sex on the public beach access just south of the Cortez Road West and Gulf Drive South intersection.
The mother was especially upset because her 4-year-old daughter and several other people saw the couple having sex in the sand, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Six other witnesses filled out complaint affidavits, one of whom filmed the couple with a camera phone, which will be used as evidence.
Both Alvarez and Caballero were taken to the Bradenton Beach Police Department for paperwork and then transported to the Manatee County Central Jail. Both were charged with lewd or lascivious exhibition.
Alvarez and Caballero were both released Monday after each posting a $7,500 bond.
Caballero has a criminal history dating back to 1992, which includes charges of trafficking cocaine, driving under the influence and selling marijuana.

The 20th addition Amelia was a record-setter. The weatherman cooperated with an almost perfect weekend. Sunday's field was filled with rare, elegant and significant cars and many happy and excited people.
Sir Stirling Moss, OBE was our honoree for the original Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in 1996. This year he graciously and enthusiastically accepted the invitation to be Amelia's first double-honoree to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary.
Even Sir Stirling was impressed when he saw the class of 26 cars that he raced. We originally wanted to mark our 20th anniversary with a 20-car "Cars Of Stirling Moss Class". When word got out what we were doing, the entries flooded in. We couldn't bring ourselves to say "no" to any of the owners of Sir Stirling's racers.
This year marked not only The Amelia's 20th anniversary but the 60th anniversary of Sir Stirling's record setting victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia, the one-thousand mile lap of Italy, racing Mercedes-Benz's all-conquering 300 SLR sports/racer, the fabled #722.
It took Sir Stirling just over ten hours to permanently rewrite the Mille Miglia's record book. To mark this historic occasion, Mercedes-Benz brought his famous "722" 300 SLR. Mercedes raided their museum one more time and brought an open-wheel 1955 W196 Formula 1 car, a sister-ship to the one that Moss raced to his first World Championship Formula 1 victory, fittingly in his home grand prix at Aintree that same year. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum brought the celebration the W196 Strommlinenwagen -- streamliner -- that Moss drove in the 1955 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, his final Formula 1 race for Mercedes. It made for an unprecedented three-car display that greeted the record crowd entering the show field. One gentleman told me that it was worth the price of admission just to see Sir Stirling drive "722" onto the show field on Sunday morning. Perfect.
Saturday morning brought Cars & Coffee At The Concours back to Amelia week. This is our free show that has developed its own traditions in just three years. This year, nearly 300 cars from local owners and clubs put on a show that's become a favorite for families who enjoy the relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere of C&C: nostalgic parents and their kids exercising their cameras on a field filled with everything from classic Corvettes, Ferraris, Jaguars and BMWs to a fleet of muscle and pony cars. It's a diverse lot: the Pontiac Owners Club joined the Morgan Owners Group that brought a tasty selection of England's beloved "Moggies" to Cars & Coffee At The Concours.
Our traditional seminars did not disappoint: Friday's The DNA of Iconic Designs Seminar brought Buick's famous Y-Job, the very first concept car, to Amelia to pose with Buick's latest concept car, the Avenir. GM's VP of Global Design Ed Welburn -- a long-time friend of the Concours -- did a masterful job interpreting the design philosophy that guides GM. They are, after all, the people who invented what we call "styling". Mercedes' Head of Design Gorden Wagener had two Mercedes-Benz SL coupes -- the original and the latest -- at his disposal to illustrate that MB has stayed true to the design precepts that have faithfully guided the world's oldest car maker. American Grant Larson -- Porsche's Director of Special Projects Exterior Design -- used a pair of 911s to show that a half century has not diluted the design DNA of Porsche's immortal rear-engine sports car.
Championship-winning racer and broadcaster Tommy Kendall was our host for Saturday's "The Car Guys of Television" seminar that played to a full-house. I'm still not sure who had more fun, the audience or the panel that included old car-superstar Wayne Carini, "Car Guy" Barry Maguire, Velocity network's Bob Scanlon, Ray Evernham, the host of AmeriCARna, Dale Walksler of Velocity's What's In the Barn?, and Peter Klutt, owner of Legendary Motorcar Ltd and the host of Dream Car Garage. (I probably shouldn't have made fun of Wayne Carini's celebrity, but I couldn't resist after scores of people asked me the same question: "Is Wayne Carini REALLY going to be there?!" Always with an exclamation point.)
On Sunday the concours field opened at 9:30 AM and by 9:35 the fairways were nearly filled to capacity. The word was out that, once again, we had some, for lack of a better term, "non-traditional" classes and cars that are seldom -- make that "never" -- seen at a major international concours.
Full credit goes to friend-of-The-Amelia John Campion for providing the inspiration and many of the cars of the World Rally Cars Class. I'm pretty sure no one had ever done a World Rally Cars class and I'm absolutely certain that there has never been anything like the Amelia's Cars of The Cowboys Class at any major concours. Everyone I spoke with loved the Cowboy Cars, even though it is hardly traditional concours fare. But that's the sort of thing we do best at Amelia: polite and sensitive people call this sort of thing "diversity".
With 315 world class entries, the Amelia's car selection committee made the judge's task complex and difficult with a field of breathtaking classics. Once again our judges, headed by Chief Judge David Schultz, paid very careful attention to the details without missing the big picture.
The 20th Amelia's Concours d'Elegance went to the exquisite 1930 Cord L29 Brooks Stevens Speedster, owned by Ed and Judy Schoenthaler of Oak Brook, IL. This black and white classic was completely redesigned by renowned Wisconsin architect and car designer Stevens who acquired it in 1930.
Our unique Concours de Sport trophy went to The 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, owned by David Sydorick of Beverly Hills, CA thanks to its outstanding racing provenance and an impeccable restoration. The short chassis version of the "Two-Three" Spyder 8C was introduced in 1931 and won the Mille Miglia in 1932, 1933 and 1934 as well as the Spa 24-hour race in 1932. Alfa Romeo practically owned the Mille Miglia before the war and David's restoration of Vittorio Jano's masterpiece reminds us of those romantic days of European open road racing.
The head-count for The Amelia's 20th anniversary weekend was over 32,000. That meant the voting for the People's Choice Award took some time to calculate. When the votes were totaled, Richard Gorman and Colleen Paige's 1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III was the winner. A three-year restoration on this one of just 25 left-hand drive Cloud IIIs impressed our most important enthusiasts.
Again our 700 (!) volunteers proved to be the backbone of the Amelia Concours. The selflessness of these indispensable people is extraordinary. Many never even get to see the show on Sunday. Every member of the staff and the Concours Board of Directors find that sort of unblinking dedication inspiring and more than a little humbling.
Automobiles are certainly the implements of leisure and sport, time machines, exquisite pieces of ambulatory social jewelry and, on one weekend each year on Amelia Island, objects of art.
These are important things. With the help of all the individuals and organizations that make the Amelia Concours possible we will continue to celebrate the automobile, its place in American life and especially the cherished and happy memories that these mechanical friends summon.
The other date we look forward to is in June when we join the people from Community Hospice, our primary charity, to make The Amelia's annual donation. Last year, one of the officers of Hospice called the Concours' contributions "transformative". That's the sort of thing that puts a lump in our throats.
We're already planning for the 21st Amelia Concours. In 2016 we enter our third decade. We'll continue to celebrate the automobile and the people who love cars for their beauty, power, speed, poise and their ability to entertain and transport us physically and emotionally.

Check out others' tales of woe and you'll never be mad about an unwashed dish again
By Guest Blogger Charmaine Ng I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON:Ambitious and talented, honest and human, this tri-lingual social media strategist and curator is also a published author. Harbors a secret desire to one day have a multi-hyphenated title.
One of the best perks of college is finally getting away from your parents and living on your own. But what happens when your roommate turns out to be, well, not so cool? We've all had our share of awkward confrontations and sinks overflowing with dirty dishes. She won't give you private time. He's a total party animal. You get the idea.
In my turn at the roulette table of roommates I've actually come up a winner, mostly. My freshman year roommate and I were complete opposites and didn't have the typical BFF story, but we never bit each other's heads off. Sophomore year, I got a single bedroom. I preferred having the freedom to play my music as loud as I liked and keep odd hours. This past year, I practically lived with my boyfriend and an international student – a senior who graduated after fall term. When the international student moved out, he was replaced by a friend's younger brother, someone we had never met before. How bad could it be, right?
Well, it wasn't a disaster. But imagine an awkward amount of cursing during nights of Call of Duty and cigarettes left in the toilet and the trash can. Over the course of two terms he washed the dishes maybe five times, and only helped take out trash and recycling if we asked him. (Happily, next year my boyfriend and I will have a place all to ourselves!)
But in the end, I guess we were pretty lucky. Check out Jezebel's list of the top 10 absolute worst roommate horror stories! Some might not be real (blood on the walls?!), but these tales will help put your own roommate woes into perspective. As the author says, "you will never be mad about a simple unwashed dish again."
Are you and your roommates best buddies, or are you not their biggest fan?

Two sisters who searched the woods of Clinton County together for the abandoned puppies this week.
Were chatting with fellow animal lovers on Facebook about what more they could do to help.
That's when they decided to hold a bottle drive in Peru from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Plattsburgh police to help the abandoned pups.
People gave much more than just bottles. Some stopped by and donated money and dog food, too.
"We advertised for 9 o'clock. I got here at 8 to start setting up and I had people here waiting for me. And it's been steady. We haven't had much of a break," said fundraiser organizer Pam Rock.
They raised $1,150.

He also spoke about what it feels like to be on the cover of Rolling Stone this month.

3. Meeting an old semi-acquaintance
I knew his nickname. Not his full name, just the name he used in our company. For a while I did not even know how to spell his name.
I knew he had a brother, a more laid-back student I'd often seen among the small groups that occupied the benches near the guidance office, His brother always seemed surrounded by friends.
I remembered the way he played - the slow and methodical way he used to set his cards down on the table, the flick of plastic-sheathed cards confidently moved into position, the way he leaned back and calmly waited for his opponent to make a move. He was always gracious.
I remembered seeing him at the sign-up for organizations in my first year. He took my signature as I joined the computing society. I don't know why that memory endured - perhaps it was because he somewhat resembled an old friend of mine.
I remembered his quiet smile and subdued laughter. I don't remember ever seeing him rage or exult. His face settled naturally into a half-smile. Sometimes he'd get a thoughtful look in his eyes, leaning back and pondering. It is easy to imagine him mediating some dispute among our friends, a calm seriousness reassuring everyone of his impartiality.
How quickly does a stranger become a familiar friend and a welcome sight? I cannot count the things I've learned from two hours and dozens of stories. I know this: he is one of those people well worth knowing more.

What I don't get is that your log shows the "waiting 500ms" message only two times before the "stopping process". I would expect exactly 10 messages before that happens. If you saw 10 messages, my tip would be to try and recompile with a higher number for the timer comparison, e.g.
- Code: Select all
while (is == null && timer < 100) {
This would allow the MEncoder process 50 seconds to come up with a stream.
However, since you only see two messages "waiting 500ms" followed by a "There is no inputstream to return for ...", something else must be happening.
- Code: Select all

Seeing two of those messages (and not more) means that an inputstream was returned (and not null)!
Yet the "There is no inputstream" message implies that null was returned?!
These two findings don't match up, and it has got me quite confused.

I recently noticed that the audio/video is out of sync with all of my movies that were encoded with Handbrake 0.9.3. My older movies, which were encoded with Handbrake 0.9.2, play perfectly fine using PS3 Media Server. When I use Handbrake, I use the AppleTV preset. I was told that in Handbrake 0.9.3 that there is a preset for AppleTV "Legacy". This preset is supposedly the same AppleTV preset from Handbrake 0.9.2. However, even using the Legacy setting, the audio/video is out of sync.
Is anyone else having the same problems?

SANTA CLARA -- Santa Clara coach Kerry Keating and his players say they only want to focus on the present, which means Saturday's sold-out matchup against Gonzaga -- the gold standard of West Coast Conference basketball.
But to appreciate how far the Broncos (12-3) have come in the past nine months -- to the point where they welcome the challenge of facing the No. 10 team in the nation at the Leavey Center -- you can't ignore the past.
Santa Clara stumbled to the finish line last April. As if a left-knee injury that sidelined Marc Trasolini the entire season wasn't enough, Kevin Foster -- the school's all-time leading scorer -- was suspended after being arrested in late January and charged with driving under the influence.
Final record: 8-22. Final WCC record: 0-16.
Now Trasolini's knee is fine. And a slimmed-down Foster, after a summer stint in a rehab program operated by former NBA All-Star John Lucas, is back draining 3-pointers and is the team's leading scorer at 19.1 points per game.
"Whether it's physical health or mental health, you always want to try to learn lessons," Keating said. "The good thing is those guys did what they had to do to get back to where they needed to be."
Grouping Trasolini's preseason knee damage with Foster's bad decision to get behind the wheel after a night of partying might seem forced. But Trasolini sees a common theme.
"It was difficult, but things happen in life and you just have to deal with them, whatever adversity hits," said the 6-foot-9 center from Vancouver, British Columbia. "I think we've both done a good job of overcoming that."
Trasolini's recovery was a matter of surgical repair, physical therapy, rest and time. He is averaging 7.8 rebounds and 15.7 points per game -- both career highs.
The path back for Foster was more complicated, with detours in the court system and the Houston-based rehab program near Foster's hometown of Katy, Texas.
"Everyone makes mistakes. I learned from it and became a better person, a more mature person," ssaid Foster, 22, who has 1,977 career points. "I've got a second chance, and I'm excited about that."
Keating said Foster has completed the requirements of his sentence in a case that began when the car he was driving was stopped about 1.5 miles west of campus. Court records show that after a no-contest plea, Foster was put on three years' probation after spending five days in a weekend work program and enrolling in a first-time offenders counseling program.
Keating helped Foster meet that last requirement at the John Lucas Treatment and Recovery Center, and the coach said he took on the responsibility in part because of a commitment made to Foster's parents.
"You finish playing here, you will graduate," Keating told them when Foster came to Santa Clara as part of the coach's first recruiting class.
Changes by Foster off the court have helped him lose the weight that had concerned his Santa Clara coaches. The 6-2 Foster is listed at 211 pounds -- about 25 fewer than he had been carrying at one point.
"We went through deals where I wouldn't let him play if he was over 220, but we couldn't figure out why he couldn't do it," Keating said. "Well, obviously it turns out if you've got extracurricular activities going on a regular basis, it's hard to control."
Keating said he never doubted Trasolini and Foster would be back for their final season. But the coach said the entire team deserves credit for not bailing out after everything that went wrong a season ago.
"It says a lot about who we are as a program, who we are as a coaching staff and especially who these kids are and the character they have," Keating said after the Broncos beat USF 74-69 to open conference play Wednesday.
All of which makes Gonzaga (14-1, 1-0) a good measuring stick for an improving Santa Clara team.
"They're very talented, they're deep, they're experienced, they're big and they can beat you in a lot of different ways," Keating said of Gonzaga. "I love playing these guys because you know you're playing the best and usually they get our best."
Gonzaga (14-1, 1-0) at Santa Clara (12-3, 1-0), 5 p.m. CSNCA

HAYWARD -- Alameda County Sheriff's Deputies are searching for suspects who robbed a used car dealership early Monday morning, making off with 12 vehicles, including Jaguars, Mercedes and BMWs, police said.
The robberies, which took place some time between 1 and 4 a.m. at Auto World Motors at 21572 Mission Blvd., were caught on tape by video surveillance cameras positioned around the business, Sgt. J.D. Nelson said.
The thieves, who smashed doors and windows to enter the business, broke a lock box containing the keys to the dealership's vehicles, Nelson said.
According to David Zazai, who works at the dealership and is a cousin to the owner, some of the vehicles did not have gas and one Audi was found parked on city streets nearby.
"Employees arrived about 9:30 a.m. and found half the inventory gone," Zazai said. "I hope we find out who did it. Hopefully it gets resolved."
About $200,000 worth of inventory was taken from the dealership, Zazai said. Based on the video surveillance, there were about four suspects involved in the theft.
"Somebody knew how the operation worked," Nelson said. "We have the tapes ... we'll go from there."

Sharon Stone doesn't seem like a very good boss.
At least she doesn't in a lawsuit filed by her former maid Angelica Castillo, who claims Stone verbally assaulted her and fired her for refusing to load groceries in Stone's car.
Castillo said this didn't sit well with Stone. According to her suit, when Castillo resisted heavy lifting because of the pain, Stone called her "crazy" and "stupid" and ultimately fired her.
Well, she should look on the bright side: At least Stone didn't go after her with an ice pick.
This isn't Stone's first but of trouble with the help. TMZ said she was sued in May by a former nanny, who said Stone berated her for her religion and fired her. The Filipino nanny also alleged Sharon ordered her not to speak to her kids because she did not want them to "talk like you."
Castillo wants unspecified damages.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE DISSES KANYE WEST: Justin Timberlake likely dissed Kanye West on "Saturday Night Live" last weekend.
Oh ... it's on now. West Coast versus East Coast. Tupac versus Biggie. Suge versus Puffy. Giants versus Dodgers. Corleones versus Barzinis. Dogs versus cats ... .
Our story began last month during a show in London, where West went on a freestyle rant and brought up Timberlake's collaboration with Jay-Z on "Suit & Tie," saying, "I got love for Hov, but I ain't (expletive)' with that 'Suit & Tie.'" West might be feeling a bit jealous, as he and Jay-Z famously teamed up on the "Watch the Throne" album and tour.
While performing on "SNL" on Saturday, Timberlake appeared to subtly respond to West's rant by switching up his lyrics a bit, according to TMZ. While performing "Suit & Tie," Timberlake changed the lyric "(Expletive) so sick got a hit and picked up a habit" to "My hit's so sick got rappers acting dramatic."
Later, Jay-Z came out to join him on "Suit & Tie." For his second song, Timberlake performed "Mirrors," off his "20/20 Project" album, due out March 19.
West's shot at Timberlake came after the onetime N' Sync singer and Jay-Z performed at the Grammys and announced their 12-date Legends of the Summer tour. West didn't make an appearance at the Grammys, saying during his rant, "The Grammys can suck my (expletive)."
Sounds like someone wants his BFF back.
JUSTIN BIEBER CANCELS SHOW IN PORTUGAL: Justin Bieber might not be so big in Portugal.
The Beebs canceled his Tuesday show because of "soft" ticket sales. Sources connected to Justin supposedly told TMZ it was a "business decision." About 60 percent of the tickets were sold, which I guess aren't enough to buy Bieber more ab-rolling machines and cars to smash up.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber was forced to cancel the second operation, in Portugal, on 12 March," the Portuguese promoter Everything is New posted on its website, according to E! News. "The Canadian singer is eager to play for the Portuguese fans on 11 March." The message also promised a refund to fans who had purchased tickets for the concert.
The cancellation comes after a bad week for Bieber. Fans got all over him for starting a London show two hours late. Then he collapsed on stage the next night. The next morning he tangled with a photographer, screaming threats at him, video of which quickly made the rounds on the Internet.
VINCE NEIL TAKEN TO HOSPITAL: Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil became ill Monday during a show in Australia and was rushed to the hospital.
His bandmates said Neil, 52, is dealing with kidney stones.
Kidney stones? That's not very rock.
Bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars took to Twitter to apologize to fans. Motley Crue is touring Australia with fellow veteran rockers Kiss and Thin Lizzy. The group was playing a second gig at Sydney's Allphones Arena when Neil started experiencing pain.
LIAM HEMSWORTH AND MILEY CYRUS TAKING A BREAK: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are taking a break from each other, according to People.com.
I imagine that break actually started right around the time Hemsworth started playing tonsil hockey with January Jones on Oscar night.
Nevertheless, Hemsworth has gone back to his native Australia for a while, the magazine said.
This is where I don't speculate whether he called ahead so they'd put a shrimp on the barby for him.
"Liam did fly home (to Australia on March 1) so they could have a break," a source said, adding that Hemsworth has been spending time with his brother Chris, with whom he is very close.
Cyrus was spotted out and about last week without her engagement ring. She also said on Twitter she was taking a break from social media. Which makes sense when everyone is on social media is talking about how your fiance is cheating on you.
"Miley is crazy about Liam, but sometimes doesn't treat him great," the source said. "She likes things her way and tends to play games. Liam is also a strong person and that's why they often butt heads."
I'm sure these two kids will patch it up, get married and live happily ever after for the rest of their lives. No, really ... .

Novo Nordisk returns to Greece
Athens – The Novo Nordisk Group has restarted sales of its insulin products in Greece. At the beginning of June, the Danish pharmaceutical company had pulled out 17 products – mostly insulin or insulin analogues – after the Greek government announced mandatory price cuts of up to 25% as part of the country's austerity measures. "We cannot sustain our business with these price cuts," said Mike Rulis, head of corporate communications for Novo Nordisk. The world's largest producer of insulin had 2009 sales of about EUR45m in Greece. Novo Nordisk has now reintroduced all of the products after negotiations with the Greek government led to a smaller compulsory discount. "These new prices are below what we consider reasonable, but they are nonetheless acceptable," said Rulis.

Family leads Black Friday line in memory of Inman teen hit by car
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 11:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 11:48 p.m.
The Osorio family set up camp outside Best Buy in Spartanburg on Monday, and by mid-day Wednesday were still the first and only ones in line for the store's midnight opening on Black Friday.
It's where Rene Osorio's son, Rudy Osorio, would have been, if he were still alive to share in the excitement.
The 18-year-old was hit by a car and killed Nov. 3 while walking across Highway 11 in Inman. The S.C. Highway Patrol reported at the time that the driver of the vehicle was legally passing a slower vehicle when the wreck happened, and no charges were filed.
Before his death, Rene said her son talked to her about wanting to stand in line for Black Friday. He wanted a tablet and a new phone.
"He would stay here the whole time and wouldn't leave," said the Inman mother.
So the family — Rene, another one of her sons, her two nieces and others — set up their blue-and-gray tent and claimed their spot in Rudy's memory.
Lucinda Santiago, Rene's niece, hopes to purchase a phone during the midnight shopping rush. This has been her first time experiencing the Black Friday wait.
"It's cold," said Lucinda, 11. "And people stare."
But Rene said her son would have stuck it out, and so will she. She doesn't plan to leave until the doors open at midnight on Friday, even if it means missing a Thanksgiving meal this year.
"He would have done it to help get his brother's Christmas present," Rene said of her son, describing him as "lovable" and "easy to get along with." Rudy would have celebrated his 19th birthday a week after Thanksgiving.

At future museum, art now
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 7:48 p.m.
Three weeks of construction wrapped up on Saturday with the completion of Patrick Dougherty's large-scale architectural sculpture on the front lawn of the future Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA.
In addition to the involvement of dozens of volunteers, the sculpture attracted other artists, photographers and even filmmakers to use what ultimately shaped up as a combination of circus tents and a funhouse/labyrinth as inspiration. Susan Rife
Five questions for Patrick Dougherty, sculptor, and Wendy Surkis, SMOA director:
Q:How log will the finished sculpture last?
A:"About two years. You try to take it down while it still looks good, while it still has some credibility to it."
Patrick Dougherty
Q:Has the project been given a name?
A:Tentatively, "A Circus Above, A Funhouse Below." "I started out with the idea of a circus tent, and circuses are as nomadic as the people who live in these kinds of structures."
Patrick Dougherty
Q:What volume of raw materials was needed?
A:"It takes about a tractor-trailer load to make a piece. We're refining and polishing now."
Patrick Dougherty
Q:How close is the $22 million goal to start actively working on the Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA renovation and opening?
A:"$15,527,515 and 85 cents. We're 70 percent toward our goal. The kind of excitement we've drawn from the volunteers, docents and community is greater than I expected."
Wendy Surkis
Q:How many people worked on the project?
A:A little under 200; about 130 volunteers on the construction itself, 28 docents, and a variety of people on various committees.
Wendy Surkis

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - What ETF is up 50 percent over the last three months and even rose as the Dow fell 205 points last Friday? Global X Greece (GREK). Yes, Greece. Greek bondholders also have an improved outlook. Greece's 10-year bond yield, which dropped below 17 percent, hit its lowest level this year and is nearly half what it was just weeks ago.
What are other best performing ETFs? Over the last three months iShares Spain (EWP) is up 27 percent and Italy (EWI) is ahead 21 percent. Why the strength? The European Central Bank has pledged to keep the Euro intact, so the market is looking beyond the depressed economy and riots.
This is not to say that I'm recommending owning stocks in Greece, Spain, or Italy, but it does show a new trend in the global marketplace .... international markets are beginning to outperform our own. For the first time this year, broad-based international ETFs like iShares EAFE (EFA) and iShares Emerging Markets (EEM) have performed better than domestic style index ETFs.
The international ETF rally isn't just a result of a rising equity market. Our falling dollar also plays a role. A falling dollar, which is a result of the Fed's continual easy-money policy, boosts international holdings.
Attractive country ETFs include iShares Mexico (EWW), iShares Philippines (EPHE), and iShares Turkey (TUR). Less risky is iShares Pacific ex-Japan (EPP). The falling dollar also helps international bond funds. A good choice is iShares Markets Local Currency Bond Fund (LEMB). Holdings in South Korea and Brazil represent 30 percent of the portfolio.
There are also innovative ETFs to take advantage of fluctuations in the dollar. For a rising dollar, look to PowerShares US Dollar (UUP). For a falling dollar, look to PowerShares US Dollar Bearish Fund (UDN). Whether the dollar is rising or falling, our goal for clients is simple: We want more of them.
