The last week in February was an exciting time on Seahorse Key. The Cedar Key Arts Center's first Artist-in-Residence, Robert Firth, was a guest of the island, courtesy of Dr. Jennifer Seavey, Assistant Director of the Seahorse Laboratory. Firth's visit corresponded with the return of the Horseshoe Crabs to their nesting beaches, a sight he found fascinating. This is the first-ever collaboration between the University of Florida and the Cedar Key Arts Center, with hopes to offer future opportunities in what Dr. Seavey calls "art meets science."
The Faraway Inn's owners, Doreen and Oliver Bauer, greeted 60-70 children and their parents on Easter for a free egg hunt on the grounds.

Face Art was by by Lois Traverso-Hewel of Dizzy Izzy's Face and Body Painting.
The Easter Bunny also made an appearance and did photos with the children. Helping out in the celebration were members from the Pirates in Paradise.

While tomorrow may be only a day away, the Summit High School production of the musical "Annie" starts tonight at 7.
The play is the first of the year for the high school students, who have been involved in rehearsals for nearly two months. The cast features 20 actors, 10 students on the tech crew, as well as a full pit band. In total, the play involves approximately 50 students and seven adults.
At the dress rehearsal Wednesday, among the chaos of costumes, moving sets, sound checks and shouted stage directions, emotions were running high - particularly excitement.
"It's really exciting," said freshman Selah Krueger, who landed the lead role of Annie. Krueger has acted before, in both plays and musicals with the Backstage Theatre. This will be her first role in a high school production.
"She's really, really cheerful. She's a little spitfire," Krueger said of Annie's character. "It's going to be really fun, and it's going to be a great show."
Senior Christina Middlebrook is looking forward to her role as the villainous orphanage director Miss Hannigan. She is a fan of the 1982 movie version of the play.
"That was my inspiration to audition for the role of Miss Hannigan," Middlebrook said. "Carol Burnett is one of my favorite actresses."
Middlebrook has been involved with plays at the high chool before, but beneath the stage rather than on it. She has played clarinet, alto saxophone and flute in the pit band, and is looking forward to a new perspective.
"It's my senior year, and I'm really looking forward to having the ability to get up on stage," she said.
Sam Piehl, also a senior, got a taste of the stage last year in the school's production of "Little Shop of Horrors." Now he's taking on a larger role, that of Mr. Warbucks. Piehl's inspiration comes from the 1999 movie version, he says.
"I'm pulling kind of a softer father figure," Piehl said. "He's a very harsh figure in the beginning that melts, because Annie melts his heart."
"Annie" is the 25th production for Cathie Hill, who has been teaching choir and drama at the high school for 13 years. At the rehearsal, Hill could be found with a large notebook, furiously scribbling notes as the students practiced their scenes.
"It's super rewarding to take something from a book state and bring it to life. I really like that process," Hill said.
Choosing which play or musical to perform is a process that requires consideration. Hill says she tries to keep the options diverse in order to ensure the students have a greater understanding of theater when they graduate. She also works to give the audience varied experiences, with traditional, child-friendly (like "Annie"), edgy (like "Little Shop of Horrors") and youth-oriented (like "Grease" and "Footloose"), among others.
"One of the reasons I chose ["Annie"] is because there are parallels between the Depression years and what's going on now," said Hill. In the play, Annie visits a shanty town, called a Hooverville, and various references are made to the public falling on hard times. "It just spoke to me because of that."
The cast has already been around to the elementary schools, performing previews for the students. Several tickets have already been given away in trivia and coloring contests. The students have no opening budget for their plays, and rely on ticket sales to defray the costs of the play, which include rights, royalties, rentals, costumes, set design, lighting and choreography.
"It's a wonderful project, and it's rewarding to see it on stage," said Piper Mitchell, a volunteer who acted under Hill 10 years ago in a production of "Hello Dolly" as a Summit High School student. "It's going to be a great show. We've got so many people who are so committed to it; it's just going to be awesome. I mean, everybody loves 'Annie.'"

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Hail the antibody, cure with ease
London/Lausanne – The global private equity firm Celtic Therapeutic L.L.L.P. believes in the power of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). It is investing $50m in a new Switzerland-based company called ADC Therapeutics Sarl which takes off with ten proprietary ADC oncology programmes in the pipeline. Among them are ADCs against prostate, lung, renal, breast and blood cancers. Bringing the cytotoxic therapeutics to the desired cancer cells with the help of antibodies has some advantages: ADCs are thought to be target-selective and highly potent. They have fewer side effects and could minimize drug resistance. "We believe that ADCs will represent a significant medical breakthrough in cancer therapy over the coming decade", says Celtic co-founder Stephen Evans-Freke. ADC Therapeutics can rely on the know-how of London's very own Spirogen, an ADC company controlled by Celtic. Spirogen's PBD (proprietary pyrrolobenzodiazepines) 'payload' technology constitutes, if anything, the 'best-in-class' ADC cytotoxic weapon ("warhead"). Scientific wisdom is also provided by British Cancer Research Technology Ltd as a shareholder and US-specialists Samuel Broder and Barrie Ward as non-executive directors. Celtic Therapeutics was founded in 2007 by Evans-Freke and Peter B. Corr, who retired from pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in 2006. Evans-Freke outlines the new company's strategy as follows: "The anticipated investment of up to $50 million into ADC Therapeutics will lead to clinical proof of concept in 2-3 lead oncology programmes. We are committed to fully fund ADC Therapeutics and will raise additional capital if warranted." After having resilient Phase II data promising ADCs could be then contracted to pharma giants.

i wonder if anyone's thoughts have changed on that idea...

STOCKTON - Two men entered a business in the 1600 block of East March Lane at 11:23 p.m. Wednesday, stole a number of items and assaulted a security guard before fleeing the scene, police said.
The men selected several cases of beer and other items and walked out of the store without paying, officers said. When security guards approached the men, one of them threw some of the stolen beer back into the store while the other man punched one of the guards, authorities said.
The men then fled in a blue Mercury Cougar. Both were described as Latino men with long black hair and ponytails, police said. One was about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 250 to 300 pounds with black pants and a pink, short-sleeved shirt. The other was about 35 years old, 6 feet tall and 280 pounds with blue jeans and a black T-shirt.

EDWARDS - A roller skate party is coming to the WECMRD Fieldhouse at Edwards on Saturday.-Dust off your roller blades and roller skates and join the 10th Mountain Roller Dolls and DJ Hop Rod for an afternoon of skating.-Zen Blaster, a coach for the 10th Mountain Roller Dolls, recently visited a skating rink in Florida and said, "It was so much fun, people of all ages were having a great time - the music is fun and everyone skates at their own pace, its a great way to play and get some exercise."
Fun for all, skating is also a great cardiovascular workout; an average size person skating for two hours burns 1,000 calories or more.
The WECMRD motto, "it just means fun," is taken very seriously by the 10th Mountain Roller Dolls and this event is going to be fun for all ages. Bring your roller blades or roller skates and a helmet for the inaugural, all ages open skate at the Field House. There will be a limited number of loaner adult skates available. If you haven't skated in a while, the 10th Mountain Roller Dolls will be there to help. Saturday's event is an open house-open skate, from 4 to 6 p.m.
Catch the next roller derby bout on Oct. 29, when the 10th Mountain Roller Dolls celebrate Halloween with a themed bout. The Zombie Militia will take on the Alien Invaders at 6:30 p.m. The 10th Mountain Roller Dolls started skating in June 2011, practicing at the Eagle Pool and Ice Rink (summer) and the Fieldhouse in Edwards (winter). The League plays flat track roller derby by the rules of W.F.T.D.A (Women's Flat Track Derby Association). For more info visit wecmrd.org, or call WECMRD in Edwards at 970-766-5555.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Richard Sherman couldn't wait to start talking Tuesday.
No surprise there.
Even before his allotted hour began at Super Bowl XLVIII Media Day, Seattle's polarizing cornerback started answering questions from a podium set up in the middle of a hockey arena in downtown Newark.
By the time the official clock started on the Seahawks' session, Sherman was already on Question No. 6.
"Whatever you got," he said, egging on reporters to ask anything they wanted.
For sure, Sherman presented a much different side than that angry 20-second rant after the NFC Championship game victory over the 49ers, which sparked a national debate over sportsmanship and racial attitudes.
He was charming, funny and didn't raise his voice except to make sure he could be heard by the crowd of media gathered around him, which was at least a dozen deep at times. He went out of his way to praise his teammates. He had nothing but nice things to say about Sunday's opponent, the Denver Broncos.
But it never came across as some sort of mea culpa, as though Sherman had been coached by public-relations people on the best way to shore up his image. No, this seemed to be a guy simply taking advantage of the opportunity to show there's far more to him than what people saw after he tipped a pass to help clinch Seattle's victory over the 49ers, then went off on receiver Michael Crabtree in a brief interview while still on the field.
"People think I'm a loudmouth, an angry guy," Sherman said. "That's a big misconception."
While he was astonished by some of the racially charged comments that were directed his way, he seemed pleased that the episode sparked more serious debate about racial stereotypes -- in particular, the people who referred to the dreadlocked defensive back as a "thug."
"There was this picture of me, but no background information, and people passed judgment," Sherman said. "Now, there's a discussion happening because people realize they were stereotyping people like me. We're trying to break those walls down."
While Sherman made clear his disdain for Crabtree during the infamous interview with Fox's Erin Andrews, he didn't mention his teammates until later, after he had time to calm down and conducted a more formal news conference.
He said that was the thing he really regrets.
"All these cameras should go to my teammates," Sherman said, listing off much of the Seattle roster at various times during his Q&A. "I have the best teammates in the world."
But he didn't shy away from the attention. Media Day was made for guys like him.
Sherman arrived at the podium lugging a camera, which he used to shoot video and snap a few pictures of the media staring back at him. He looked every reporter in the eye and hopped out of his seat several times to make sure he could hear the query, very much a guy who majored in communication at Stanford. He joked around with celebrities and fist-bumped a couple of aspiring school-age journalists -- neither much taller than the barrier in front of Sherman.
He told the kids to study hard and never be afraid to ask questions if there's something they don't understand. Though he admittedly showed poor taste after the NFC title game, including a choke sign toward the 49ers, he considers himself to be a role model. There is a side, he said, that most people never see: the guy who gives back to the inner city and never forgets where he came from.
"Kids need a positive role model, and they need to understand that there are more options to the world than what they just see in their neighborhood," said Sherman, who grew up in Compton. "They need to understand there's another opportunity, there's another path that you can take. If those kids take those paths and use those opportunities, they'll benefit and our future will be very bright."
After his time expired, an NFL official arrived to pull him away. But Sherman stuck around to answer a couple of more questions, even sitting back down in front of the mic for one reply so it would be audible to everyone.
Finally, it was time to go.
Not that he was ready to leave.
"I could do this all day," Sherman said. "Thanks, y'all."

AVON, Colorado - The Avon Town Council Tuesday approved a proposal by Wyndham Vacation Resorts for a 58-unit time-share project. The project is expected to be complete in time for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships.
The project approved Tuesday will be the biggest project built in Avon since the much larger Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa, which was finished in 2007.
The Wyndham project moved fairly smoothly through the town's approval process, from staff discussions to town planning and zoning commission approval to two relatively quick hearings by the town council.
Most council members applauded the developers' work, but council member Buz Reynolds, who cast the sole dissenting vote on the approval ordinance, said the lack of new retail space worried him. As approved, the project will have just lobby space and some project-related office and food service space on the ground floor.
"We're building bed base but losing (sales tax) revenue," Reynolds said. "Future developers will say 'it was done there, why can't I do that?'"
Fellow council member Dave Dantas said he'd like to see ground-floor retail as well. But Wyndham officials in early February flatly refused that request, calling it a deal-breaker for the entire project.
"I just don't think the retail could sustain itself," Dantas said.
Council member Jennie Fancher said there's plenty of empty retail space in the area now, something echoed by council member Todd Goulding.
"Even at the height of our recent growth period there were empty spaces in that area," he said.
With final approval in hand, the project is expected to break ground this spring.

By Rogerio Jelmayer and Emily Glazer
Brazilian cosmetics company Natura Cosmeticos has agreed to buy a 65% stake in Australian high-end beauty-product retailer Emeis Holdings for US$71.6 million, expanding its international presence.
Natura said it expects to conclude the deal by April 30. Emeis operates under the Aesop brand name across Australia, Asia, Europe and North America.
Natura and Aesop will continue to operate as independent companies but will share regional expertise, according to a statement. Natura already has operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Mexico and Colombia.
Natura sells cosmetics and fragrances door to door in Latin America and is market leader in Brazil, the world's second-largest beauty market, according to market researcher Euromonitor International. But it doesn't have a significant presence elsewhere.
Aesop, based in Melbourne, operates more than 60 stores in 11 countries. It has locations in such areas as New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Aesop has opened 14 stores this year.
Natura also will buy distributors of Aesop's products to high-end department stores around the world, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. That could allow Natura to expand internationally and gain retail outlets where it can increase its visibility and build its brand.
Natura also sells door-to-door in Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia. It is the world's fourth-largest direct seller by market share, behind Avon Products, Amway Corp. and Japan Consumers Cooperative Union, according to Euromonitor. The market's other major companies include Herbalife, Mary Kay Inc. and Tupperware Brands
Natura sells lipsticks, sunscreens and creams made from local ingredients such as macadamia nuts and acai berries.
Aesop sells products for skin, hair and body and expects to generate about 64 million Australian dollars (US$67.4 million) in sales in the year ending in June. The deal would give it an opening to Brazil's market.
Lazard advised Natura, and Goldman Sachs Group advised Aesop. In March, Goldman commenced the process which has allowed Harbert Private Equity to sell down its stake.

- Jaw-dropping stock debuts by FireEye, Rocket Fuel are already raising questions about a new tech bubble
- Biz Break: What are you waiting for, Twitter? IPO market is red-hot
- Rocket Fuel explodes on Wall Street: Stock doubles after $116 million IPO

- Silicon Valley IPOs heating up ahead of Twitter offering
MILPITAS -- FireEye's initial public offering grew in size at a dramatic rate in the past week, but Wall Street wasn't done increasing the price for a piece of the Silicon Valley security software firm.
After pricing shares more than 40 percent higher than its original maximum price, FireEye shares more than doubled from the $20 IPO price in initial trades Friday morning, opening at $40.30 on the Nasdaq trading floor about 8:15 a.m. Pacific time. In its first day of trading, FireEye sold in a range from $35.28 to $44.89 before closing with an increase of 80 percent at $36.
"Its been a pretty amazing couple of weeks," CEO Dave DeWalt said in a phone interview from Nasdaq headquarters in New York on Friday. "The demand was incredible."
FireEye arrived at a $20 price after initially stating that it wanted to sell shares in a range from $12 to $14. After bumping that range to $15-to-$17 on Tuesday, the company decided to jump higher Thursday night while also selling more shares than it had planned, 15.2 million. All told, FireEye's IPO took in $303.5 million at a valuation of more than $2.3 billion.
Security software has been a hot segment of the tech industry in the past year: Cisco (CSCO) acquired Maryland security firm Sourcefire for $2.7 billion in July, and Silicon Valley firms such as Palo Alto Networks have seen their valuation balloon after arriving on the public markets.
Qualys CEO Philippe Courtot has been in the middle of the security boom, having taken his Redwood City company public almost exactly a year ago at $12 a share; the stock closed Thursday at $22.98. He said Friday that enterprise customers' conversion to cloud software has increased the demand for new solutions to security issues.
"Cloud computing has essentially totally revolutionized IT," Courtot said Friday. "You have large companies essentially -- by committing to use all this cloud technology -- changing their infrastructure," forcing new security tactics.
Milpitas-based FireEye was founded in 2004 by former Sun Microsystems engineer Ashar Aziz. The company, whose hardware and software help block cyberattacks, counts more than 60 federal agencies among its 1,000-plus customers, including the FBI and U.S. Department of Defense. Others that pay for the company's services include banks, utility companies and UC Berkeley.
DeWalt noted that companies and governments are spending $30 billion a year to keep online threats at bay. With the roaring IPO, he said, "We've got a much stronger balance sheet, and that gives us the opportunity to expand even further around the globe."
In December, Aziz ceded the CEO job to valley software veteran DeWalt, who had been the startup's chairman. DeWalt most notably had been CEO of McAfee before selling the security pioneer to Intel (INTC) for $7.7 billion, and his ascension to the top spot at FireEye was widely seen as proof the company was on the IPO fast track.
FireEye has raised $100 million in private capital from backers including Sequoia Capital, Norwest Venture Partners and In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture arm; Sequoia and Norwest each own 20 percent of the company, according to its SEC filings. Three other valley finance heavyweights -- DAG Ventures, JAFCO Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank -- collectively own nearly 25 percent.
In addition, Aziz -- now FireEye's vice chairman and chief technology officer -- owns 10 percent, which is worth more than $230 million at the IPO price. DeWalt's 4 percent stake would be good for $92 million.
The company has reported rapid growth: Head count shot from 175 employees at the end of 2011 to more than 900 this past June. Revenues grew eightfold from 2010-2012, to more than $83 million, thanks in part to a subscription model that requires customers to sign up for a cloud-based malware information service.
But the company's operating losses also have soared due to R&D, sales and marketing costs: FireEye reported that it lost $63.5 million in 2012, and it has never posted a profit.
Qualys CEO Courtot believes the security industry has a lot of growth ahead of it as cloud infrastructure continues to change, and said FireEye has a good chance for growth in that field.
"We're going to see the emergence of a new generation of companies which will adopt the new cloud architecture. And FireEye could also start to transform into a much more cloud offering -- they have the resources today because they've had a fantastic IPO. If they don't do that, they won't survive," he said.

The sport of billiards, as we know it, originated in the 15th Century with the ruling classes of Europe. The game quickly attracted court members and commoners alike. Billiards has long been a game that has blurred socio-economic lines. The age-old game now enjoys a revival in the world of antiques collecting.
The earliest version of our contemporary game of pool was called ground billiards. It was a game played outdoors on grass, like crochet. Over time, the game was moved indoors and played with cues on a green fabric-covered table to recall the color of the grassy lawn.
While the French kings were the first to own billiard tables, circa 1470, many of history's most famous figures played billiards. Some historic pool sharks include Mary Queen of Scots, William Shakespeare, Mozart, Napoleon, King Louis XIV, King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Gen. Lafayette, George Washington, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria, Cornelius Vanderbilt and H.G. Wells.
Today, many people are partaking in the revival of pool, collecting pool memorabilia, and decorating game rooms with vintage and antique pool tables, racks and accessories.
The strong market for period billiard tables made of maple, walnut and rosewood entices collectors to pay upwards of $25,000 and $100,000 for some fine Victorian tables.
In America, the majority of pool tables were produced by Brunswick-Balke-Collendar. In the Victorian age (circa 1837-1901), pool table designs featured solid hardwoods, inlaid ivory diamond sights, marquetry work, Roman style leaf motifs or geometric Greek key patterns borrowed from the architecture of the ancient world.
It is not uncommon for a collection of antique billiard objects, including a table, cue rack, cue sticks and handmade leather pockets to have an insurance value exceeding $125,000. Whether or not you play the game, don't disregard that really heavy pool table in your grandmothers' basement — odds are it is quite valuable.

BALTIMORE -- Josh Donaldson was all smiles after Sunday's game in Camden Yards, and you might think that a bit odd given that he went 0 for 5, including grounding out twice with the bases loaded in the A's 11-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
In all, Donaldson came up with eight men on base in the first five innings and drove exactly none of them in.
It wasn't like Saturday, when he struck out in every one of his four at-bats, a new career worst, but it wasn't a day you write home about.
"It's just two games," Donaldson said. "It's a long season. It's no big deal. Things are fine."
It probably doesn't hurt Donaldson any that while his bat was MIA, his glove was all over the place. The defensive stop and throw he made to start the third inning with the Orioles' Nick Hundley at the plate was as fine a play as you will see a third baseman make.
He dived into foul territory to get Hundley's smash, then made a monster throw from that position to get the out.
"That was just a ridiculous play," manager Bob Melvin said. "It's a double, and all of a sudden it's an out. When you're struggling with the bat, it's very easy to let that ball get down the line, focus-wise. But he doesn't do that. He doesn't take a pitch off."
And it's not like Donaldson's offensive slumbers cost the team anything Sunday.
Brandon Moss unloaded a grand slam after Donaldson grounded into a force at the plate in the third inning. That gave the A's a 6-0 lead, and they never looked back.
"It's the way this team is," Donaldson said. "It sucked I couldn't get it done today, but somebody else did."

text: Rich in history, RMC dates back to pre World War I when local leaders realized the need for some type of health care system for their community. Initially named Anniston Memorial Hospital in 1944 with 100 beds and 16 physicians, the facility has steadily grown over the decades in its programs and services, equipment and space. By the mid-1970s, the newly named Regional Medical Center of Anniston embarked upon a multi-million dollar modernization and expansion program to better meet the changing health care needs of the now five-county service area it serves. Today, RMC boasts 338 licensed beds, 185 physicians and over 1,400 staff administering advanced programs and services unavailable at any other hospital in this part of the state.

SAN JOSE -- Now that I've simmered down a bit, I can see the point that Bloomberg Businessweek was trying to make by calling our own Alviso "the Ghost Town of Silicon Valley."
The nickname came up in a short and fairly gentle video posted on the Bloomberg blog. It featured respected Silicon Valley reporter Ashlee Vance pointing out some of Alviso's historic and dilapidated buildings while talking to an amateur historian about the district's colorful past.
In the ready-fire-aim way of the Internet, I immediately posted a blog item that pointed out that Alviso is hardly the "forgotten town" the video's lead-in describes. The North San Jose neighborhood is home to high-tech heavyweights IBM, Polycom, Flextronics, Boston Scientific and TiVo.
But here's the thing: What's great about Alviso is that even while it's becoming a hotbed of high-tech campuses, it still retains a distinctive characteristic that is, well, hard to describe. Ghost town doesn't quite do it for me. But is it quirky? Funky? Eclectic? Quaint? Colorful? Peaceful? Breezy? Dilapidated?
It's all those things in addition to being a big business address. And that is its 21st-century charm.
"It's bittersweet having them there," Juan del Real Jr. says of Alviso's tech company newcomers, "because they're encroaching on that old-town feeling. At the same time, it helps keep it alive."
Del Real is an Alviso expert. He grew up there. In 1996, when the Web was new and he was 25, he created a website extolling the beauty and history of Alviso. He wanted people to know his neighborhood for more than the garbage dump and sewage treatment plant that were there. He wanted them to know Alviso for more than a smell, is the way he put it at the time. Yes, Alviso has come a long way, but del Real says the lingering ghost-town aspects of Alviso are vital to the place that it is today.
"Once you go into the old part of town," he says, "what they call the historic district, the abandoned buildings and the homes that are in arrested decay, it goes to that feeling that you are somewhere else, somewhere far away."
And can't anyone who lives and works in Silicon Valley understand the desire to sometimes want to be somewhere else; to get far away? That's what drew Rudy Mueller to Alviso in the first place. Years ago, he was working through a particularly stressful time at a big tech firm not far from Alviso.
"It was just like this little respite where I'd go for lunch and just breathe," says Mueller, a finance guy who moved to Utah last year.
It was an escape from Silicon Valley in Silicon Valley.
"It was kind of fun," he says. "I'd just go up there and see the train and eat my lunch and look out at the vastness."
In fact, the folks in San Jose's economic development shop say prospective corporate tenants see Alviso's quirky, ghost-townish side as more of a feature than a bug.
"They sort of talk about the amenities of having the Bay Trail and having all the baylands surrounding it," says Chris Burton, who works in economic development. "Alviso is really a strong community and very unique in San Jose."
No question, Alviso is different. Over the years, I've written about squatters living on barely floating boats in the Alviso Slough. I've written about sheep grazing along the chaotic traffic of Highway 237. I've written about Vahl's, a restaurant frozen in time somewhere around 1952 (though it does now feature karaoke and accepts credit cards).
And there is something powerful about being confronted by the remnants of the past, like the decaying cannery featured in the Bloomberg video, or the leaning wooden sheds and buildings that were a vibrant part of the valley's agricultural past and Alviso's history as a port.
Silicon Valley is a place obsessed by what's ahead. What's past is past. But it is also a place susceptible to complacency. We are trendsetters and worldbeaters and sometimes it's hard for some to see a scenario in which they are no longer on top.
Maybe, then, working among the ruins of the agricultural past in Alviso provides an advantage to the engineers who work every day at TiVo, IBM, Polycom, Flextronics and the other tech companies big and small that are moving in on what some might call Silicon Valley's ghost town.

Here's the Greatest Risk in Markets Right Now
Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch, has defined what he calls the biggest risk in the markets right now.
Drumroll, please…
"The greatest risk of all," Mr. Hartnett says, "is that Wall Street excesses rather than Main Street recovery forces the Fed to tighten."
He's worried that the "lukewarm" economic recovery has coincided with bubble-like conditions in the markets and a wave of complacency across investor sentiment. Those conditions continue to weigh on Main Street while Wall Street prospers, he says, creating a dichotomy that potentially puts the Federal Reserve in a tough spot.
"The 'fire' of zero interest rates and central bank liquidity continues to be doused by the 'ice' of deleveraging, regulation and deflationary tech innovation," Mr. Hartnett says. "Meanwhile Wall Street booms."
This is "a world where Wall Street and the owners of capital boom while Main Street and the workers struggle," he added.
Here's a chart comparing Wall Street (an equal-weighted basket of stocks and bonds) compared to Main Street (the labor force participation rate which hovers around 30-year lows):
Mr. Hartnett has predicted stocks will keep rallying through the summer, which will then be followed by a big pullback in the autumn months that could take the S&P 500 down by more than 10%.
"The longer it takes for growth and rates to normalize," he says, "the greater the risk of speculative excesses and ultimately a policy response aimed at curbing speculation in asset markets before the economy has fully healed."
Mr. Hartnett has his eye on third-quarter GDP as an important indicator of what will happen next. Remember the economy contracted by 1% in the first three months of the year due to some awful winter weather. Many expect growth to snap back during the current quarter. That's why third-quarter figures could be key indicators of where the economy truly stands.
"Either third-quarter growth is +3% confirming recovery and cause rates to rise, or speculative excesses appear causing central banks to start 'talking down' asset prices," he says. "Until then be long but watch credit, the epicenter of the speculative fervor. One of the better leading indicators of the 1987 crash was a period of rising bond yields, rising gold prices and falling corporate bond prices."

Discover The CTU Experience
Natural disasters, like Hurricane Sandy, are grim reminders that we are all vulnerable to unexpected catastrophes brought on by nature or by mankind. Weeks, months, and potentially years later, we experience devastating after-effects that disrupt our lives and our businesses. Yet, much can be done to mitigate the effects of disasters on your business, and it starts with a proactive disaster recovery (DR) strategy.
If there was any doubt, the re-election of President Barack Obama on November 6, 2012, made it clear, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is here to stay. Full implementation of the law is required by 2014, allowing patients, physicians, employers, and other stakeholders two more years to prepare for the impending changes in health care in the United States.
Human history records a number of significant pandemics, from influenza to tuberculosis. From this, most people associate pandemics with death, but few understand the severe impact pandemics have on society as a whole. The following three cases explore the potentially devastating nature of pandemics, both in terms of the loss of life and economic impact.
Last week, renowned entrepreneur and Chuck E. Cheese founder, Dr. Gene Landrum, joined CTU for a free, open-to-the-public guest lecture. During the hour-long event, which was part of the CTU Distinguished Lecturer Series, Dr. Landrum shared dozens of stories from his past and answered a variety of questions from the pool of attendees.
The role of law enforcement has never solely been about enforcing the laws. The phrase "Serve and Protect" goes beyond catching bad guys. America's history has shown us that the responsibilities of first responders during a disaster, whether natural or manmade, are critical to a community's effective recovery.
CTU's Global Security Series offers background on current national and homeland security topics. In this new series, University Dean of Security Studies, Dr. Morag, will focus on an often unaddressed area of homeland security: public health. Today he begins by taking a deeper look at pandemics, the threats that they pose and how they are discovered and tracked.
Academic accountability is a hot topic in higher education today. Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the ACE (American Council on Education) Chief Academic Officer workshop in St. Louis, Mo. and the Higher Learning Commission's training for peer evaluators in St. Charles, Ill.
"I just didn't feel like I fit in, I just didn't like it much," he said, in regard to his learning stint at a branch of a large public university. After four years in the military, he felt he had gained the equivalent of eight years of maturity. It turns out, when one is working in psychological operations under the U.S. Army Special Forces unit in Iraq, as Staff Sgt. Perez had done, one matures pretty quickly.
As Americans honor those who serve our country this Veterans Day, at Colorado Technical University, we're recognizing the sacrifices of 25 wounded active duty and veteran service members and 25 spouses of wounded service members with the gift of education.
We live in a country that, both by virtue of its size and its geographic location, is subject to a variety of natural disasters including earthquakes, brush fires, tornadoes, mudslides, flooding, ice storms, blizzards, tsunamis and, of course, hurricanes. Not surprisingly, a big and important part of the Homeland Security mission has to do with preparing for, responding to and recovering from natural disasters.
Preparing for disasters, natural and other, require that health care organizations document and practice the steps they will take. The most important piece of disaster preparedness is making sure the patients are properly taken care of including their diagnosis, treatment, and follow up.
We in the United States enjoy a freedom and prosperity that is uncommon in the world today. We owe gratitude to the men and women in uniform, past and present, who have secured our liberty and way of life.
Democracy is a decision-making system that allows citizens an equal say to select their preferred leader. This selection is based upon the individual knowledge gained and the unique values that each voter applies in their own lives. It is a unified statement of freedom in America. It is a human statement. It is a voice. In this election season, technology has drastically evolved how this statement is created by offering more open access to knowledge and various mediums of expression.
In the dark alleys of presidential politics, there have been whispered (really, shouted) rumors that one of the candidates would eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency – FEMA – in order to reduce the deficit.
A Military friendly school is defined by the choices or actions it makes to support military, veteran or spouse students. These actions become an important indicator of what you should expect from the school as a service-member or veteran.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- The Cal women's basketball team nearly imploded against a physical and battle-tested South Florida squad in the NCAA tournament's round of 32, but regained its composure just in time.
After a nightmarish finish to regulation, the Bears needed overtime before they could finally celebrate an 82-78 win at United Spirit Arena on Monday that advances Cal to the Sweet 16 for just the second time in school history.
When the No. 2-seeded Bears blew a 10-point lead with a minute left in regulation, coach Lindsay Gottlieb urged her team to forget the mistakes they made that caused the extra period.
The message was received. The Bears hit their free throws, eliminated the mental blunders and turned up their defense against No. 10 South Florida to reach the NCAA tournament's second weekend for the first time since 2009.
"I just said not one person looks behind us," Gottlieb said. "We don't need to talk about the time that's already passed, we're moving forward. ... (Overtime) wasn't easy, but there was no carry-over whatsoever, and that short memory is important. We know that we made mistakes down the stretch."
A victory over the winner of Tuesday's Penn State-LSU matchup in Spokane this weekend will give Cal (30-3) its first-ever Elite Eight appearance.
The Bears almost didn't get the chance to play another game.
In the final 1:28 of regulation, Cal made just three of 11 free throws to let the Bulls (22-11) back in it.
Fouling 3-point shooters twice in the final 12 seconds was even more costly. Especially the last one.
With 0.7 seconds left in regulation, South Florida's Inga Orekhova was fouled putting up a shot from beyond the arc. Orekhova, an 80 percent free throw shooter, nailed all three free throws to force overtime.
"It was one of those games where the clock couldn't tick any slower at the end," senior guard Layshia Clarendon said. "We made some really dumb plays and let them stick around the game."
Clarendon, who led the Bears with 27 points, split a pair of free throws to give Cal an 81-76 lead with 36.9 seconds left in overtime. After an Andrea Smith layup, Afure Jemerigbe went to the free throw line for Cal with 18 seconds remaining. She made one to give Cal a four-point lead, and the Bears' defense did the rest.
When the buzzer finally went off, they celebrated.
"There were some tears, a lot of hugs, a lot of gratitude," Clarendon said. "We made it to the Sweet 16, which no player (on the roster) had done yet."
Cal hit eight of 10 free throws in the extra period after hitting just 41 percent in regulation.
Forward Gennifer Brandon notched her second double-double of the NCAA tournament with 13 points and 12 rebounds as Cal got its inside game working in the second half.
Brittany Boyd, who was an assist shy of a triple-double in Cal's NCAA opener, packed the stat sheet again with 12 points, eight assists and eight rebounds before fouling out in overtime.
Andrea Smith scored 24 points to lead a South Florida team that was coming off its first NCAA tournament victory in school history, a 71-70 win over host Texas Tech in Saturday's first round. The Bulls, who hail from the Big East, also took No. 1 seed Notre Dame to overtime earlier this year.
South Florida trailed 37-32 at halftime and by as many as 14 in the second half before rallying against Cal.
Saturday's game
Cal (30-3) vs. Penn State or LSU at Spokane, Wash., TBA
Stanford can punch its ticket to the Sweet 16 on Tuesday, but the defense will be tested by Michigan

SAN JOSE -- Some U.S. military officials "looked the other way" rather than aggressively pursuing rape charges against a sexually troubled soldier who ended up killing two Santa Cruz police officers last week, former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said at the officers' funeral Thursday.
Experts say Panetta's unusually strong words -- which implied that the military justice system might share some blame for the officers' deaths -- highlight the ongoing push to change a military culture that has given rise to an epidemic of sexual assault.
Jeremy Goulet, whose 2006 Army court martial in Hawaii for two purported rapes of military officers ended with a plea bargain in which he accepted an "other-than-honorable" discharge, shot and killed two officers investigating a new groping accusation against Goulet on Feb. 26. Had Goulet been convicted of the two rapes, he probably would have landed in a military prison for life.
Panetta, who just left the top job at the Pentagon last week, acknowledged Thursday that military sex offenders were not always prosecuted for the offenses they committed. "And at some point, somebody pays a price," Panetta added.
Of the 35-year-old Goulet, who was killed in a gun battle with police and sheriff's deputies, Panetta said: "We do know that he had a history of sexual violence both in and out of the military. And for whatever reason, people somehow always looked the other way."
Elizabeth Hillman, a UC Hastings law professor and president of the National Institute for Military Justice, said Panetta's words are particularly poignant coming from someone who had spoken out publicly on the issue of sexual violence in the military -- and set new policies.
"I think he realizes it hasn't been enough," said Hillman, who in January testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights about military rape and sexual assault.
In September, Panetta set new policies to let rape victims rapidly transfer out of units in which they were assaulted, requiring that such cases be handled by senior, not unit, commanders. He also moved to create special investigative units and called for prosecuting more sex offenders.
Chuck Hagel, the new U.S. secretary of defense, vowed at his Jan. 31 confirmation hearing to "continue the important work" Panetta began to combat military sex crimes. "I agree it is not good enough just to say zero tolerance," Hagel said. "The whole chain of command needs to be accountable for this, all the way down to the bottom."
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, has authored a bill to create a Sexual Assault Oversight and Response Council, composed mainly of civilians, as an independent entity outside the Defense Department's chain of command. The council would appoint and advise an office responsible for investigating, preventing and reducing sexual assaults, and a director responsible for overseeing all military sex-crime prosecutions. Speier couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.
Mark Stevens, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel and former military judge now teaching criminology at Cal State Fresno, on Thursday agreed with Panetta "that as we went into having more women in the military, we went through phases where perhaps some things were not done that should've been done."
But he seemed surprised that a case like Goulet's would have been plea-bargained out to a military discharge.
Having both prosecuted and defended courts martial, Stevens said he "never saw anybody get cut any slack on a sexual offense. If there's any quarter for anybody, it's at the lower level not pushing it up (to be charged)."

Spa Review: The Bermudian Willow Stream Spa
Still, Schmidt was intrigued enough to jet off to Bermuda for an interview. What he discovered there was one of Fairmont's original Willow Stream spas (branded as such in 2002), perched regally above the resort's 18-hole golf course, and framed by a pink-sand beach and the dazzling aquamarine-blue sea beyond.
But Schmidt also discovered a major obstacle to making this big move: immigration. Bermuda is a British territory and, as a potential ex-pat, Schmidt found that
securing employment there would present a challenge, as Bermudian applicants would be the first-tier choice for employers. And, as it turned out, the assistant director position in question subsequently became unavailable to him. Thwarted, he returned to the States and took on a long-term consulting contract to rebrand a domestic spa.
Months later, in the fall of 2011, Schmidt received another call from Bermuda: The position of spa director at the Willow Stream would be opening up at the end of the year. This time, Schmidt didn't hesitate to express his interest and, after a series of interviews with corporate and property leaders, received his highly anticipated offer letter in early December 2011.
But there were more hurdles to clear.
"Accepting the terms of the offer began the immigration process, which involved gathering a litany of documentation for both myself and my wife declaring the states of our health, criminal status, moral fortitude, professional history, training, education, citizenship status, marital commitment and more," Schmidt recounts. "The process entailed the investment of hundreds and hundreds of dollars in fees, postage, phone bills and notary services, and countless hours per week."
After nearly three grueling months, Schmidt finally did receive a three-year permit to work as director of the Bermuda spa.

Professional Interests
The research we do in our lab is in the area of cellular engineering. We use a variety of engineering tools to analyze reactions that occur on the surface of cells and/or within cells to try to understand the mechanism of various diseases. We then use that information to try to alter the selectivity of those reactions such that we prevent or slow the progression of disease. For example, some proteins, such as beta amyloid of Alzheimer's disease, interact with neurons. If the protein is in a normal or "healthy" conformation, the interaction is benign, while if the protein is in its amyloid or "pathogenic" conformation, the protein-cell interaction leads to cell death. We would like to understand the mechanism of the protein-cell interaction and be able to prevent it.

Definition of desiderative in English:
1(In Latin and other inflected languages) denoting a verb formed from another and expressing a desire to do the act denoted by the root verb (such as Latin esurire 'want to eat,' from edere 'eat').
Example sentences
- An interrogative use of shall with the first person subject forms what we might call desiderative.
- Furthermore, I claim that even the advanced learners sometimes misuse the desiderative expressions when they forget to control their speech.
- This traditional interpretation had to be systematically verified for two reasons: the first was to explain the specificity of the category desiderative inside the complex verbal system of Vedic, and the second was the need to elucidate its historical links, currently claimed by most Indo-Europeanists, with other formally similar categories like the future in Old Greek and Celtic.
1.1Having, expressing, or relating to desire.
Example sentences
- In themselves, attention, interest, vivid presence to consciousness and the like would seem to be features of our emotional and desiderative biographies.
- Since each such change seems rationally required, the new desiderative profile will seem not just different from the old, but better; more rational.
- But many of the same issues arise for desiderative conceptions of the good as well, and it will be useful to discuss these at points.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- News 12 has learned the Georgia State Patrol has not issued any citations in connection to the wreck. The crash report will be turned over to the Sheriff's Office for review.
Lt. Calvin Chew says he is not aware of any citations being issued but that the accident is being sent to the Accident Review Board and the Fleet Management Review. Chew says citations could follow that review.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Operation Thunder is supposed to crack down on a number of reckless driving behaviors like speeding, driving under the influence and not wearing a seat belt.
But Trey Nicks says what he saw Friday night wasn't cutting down on reckless behavior ... it was creating it.
"Crazy amounts of cops, lights on, flying down the road," he said.
It's a sight many of you saw this weekend, and a sight that nearly scared Nicks to death.
"My first thought was something major had happened," he said.
But, nothing major happened. Deputies from all over the state were just rolling out in Augusta this weekend to head to checkpoints.
Lt. Lewis Blanchard with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office says, "The use of the caravans with the blue lights going, that is part of marketing to get the message out there."
He says it's all to publicize and market Operation Thunder, but the marketing strategy took a turn.
On the way to the checkpoint, a Richmond County deputy rear-ended another deputy from Habersham County.
We got our hands on the incident report from the Georgia State Patrol that says, not only was Richmond County Deputy Eard Trimmingham following too closely, but he also wasn't wearing a seat belt.
"This weekend alone, we had 43 interactions with seat belt violations, the majority of which were children," Blanchard said.
How is that for irony?
"I don't want to say idiotic, but it was definitely not the smartest thing they could have done," Nicks said.
Blanchard says to remember accidents do happen and that deputies are human.
"We're not robocops, and there is going to be some human error in judgment. And accidents, that's why they're called accidents," he said.
But, the circumstances do tend to frustrate some on the other side of the law.
"I don't see how that's efficient in any way, and I don't know if that was the publicity they were going for," Nicks said.
"Our goal is to reduce accidents, injuries and fatalities, and we certainly don't want to be a part of anything that isn't moving us forward in the right direction," Blanchard said.
As for Deputy Trimmingham, he will be required to take a remedial driving course as required by department policy.
Fleet management for the city will look into the accident as well. If the deputy is found at fault, he could be required to pay a percentage of the repair costs to the vehicles.

Part of being a responsible babysitter is knowing when (and where) to reach out for help. Naturally, if little Justin throws a tantrum because you won't let him eat a peanut butter bar, that's something to handle on your own. But what if you think he ate that peanut butter bar and you know he has a nut allergy? That's when it's time to call a parent.
In general, you want to call a child's parents first when you need help. But different parents do things differently. Ask the parents what they prefer.
There are exceptions to the call-a-parent-first rule. In a real emergency where seconds count, like if a child is badly injured, has stopped breathing, or isn't responding to you, dial 911 first and then call the parents. (Don't panic, though, these things hardly ever happen on babysitting jobs!)
Before the parents leave, get the following numbers:
Ask the parents to post a list of emergency numbers next to the phone or on the fridge. If the house you're sitting in doesn't have a landline, make sure your cell phone is always charged.
Obviously, 911 is the first call to make in case of fire or other emergency. But not all emergencies demand a 911 response. So ask the parents to post the following numbers and know where they are:
If you babysit for the same family regularly, you might want to enter these numbers into your phone contacts.
If an emergency comes up, it's not a reflection on you and your babysitting skills — but how well you handle an emergency is. Calling for help is the right thing to do, so don't be afraid to do so. Parents understand that it's impossible to avoid mishaps all the time!
