UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15, I'd start out with Legend of Luther Strode #1 (Image, $3.50). I was behind the times on the first series, but now I will raise my fist to the air and decree "NO MORE!" (to the stunned silence of my local comic shop owner). Justin Jordan really brought a different take on this story, but for me the sizzle on this is Tradd Moore's art. It reminds me of Sam Keith's middle-period during his Marvel Comics Presents Wolverine run, and that's nothing but a good thing. After that I'd get Stumptown #4 (Oni Press, $3.99). Some might compare Dex's journey to that of Jessica Jones in Marvel's Alias, but it's anything but. Greg Rucka really knows how to make a story feel more than just mere fiction. My third pick this week would be Invincible #98 (Image, $2.99), seeing Mark Grayson get his powers back – just in time to be stomped into the ground, from the looks of it. Reading this series since the first issue, I'm noticing the colorist change more and more here; John Rauch definitely is a step removed from FCO Plascencia, and I'm still getting used to it. Kirkman and Ottley are delivering here so well that Domino's should be jealous. (ba-dum CHING!) Last up in my Wednesday haul would be Avengers #1 (Marvel, $3.99). I've noticed in doing Food or Comics for as long as I have how I'll routinely follow writers but when they manage to get an artist I particularly like I'll fall over myself trying to get to it. Case in point, this book, with Jonathan Hickman joining forces with Jerome Opeña to kick off a new era for Marvel's flagship book. I'm all for "Jonathan Hickman's Avengers," but I'm even more excited to see Opeña's take on this.

More on Colorado Civil Unions Bill SB172
Here in Colorado the tension is building around LGBT equality for same sex unions.
This week the Colorado Senate passed SB 172/Civil Unions with bi-partisan support (23–12). Three Republicans joined all 20 Democrats voting for the bill. This initial victory is a sign of change since 2006 when we in PFLAG worked really hard with LGBT groups to pass a civil unions referendum, which was narrowly defeated by conservative forces that pushed through a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage. That was a bitter defeat. But as Evan Wolfson, national spokesperson for marriage equality says: "When we lose, lose forward!" Like the phoenix, we are trying again with the civil unions bill. This time around with growing change toward attitudes of greater acceptance of same-sex unions, we have more hope for bipartisan support.
The next hurdle is to pass SB172 through the Colorado House which has a slight Republican majority.
One of the major talking points being used by those calling in to the Colorado legislature in support of the bill is regarding economic benefits to the state. One Colorado, the state-wide organizing effort for LGBT issues, released the following late last week:
A new Williams Institute study at UCLA School of Law shows that allowing same-sex and different-sex couples to enter civil unions in Colorado would boost the state budget by nearly $5 million over three years. The increase in state funds results from savings in expenditures on state means-tested public benefit programs, state license fees, and sales tax revenues. The study predicts that Colorado's same-sex couples would spend nearly $19 million on civil union ceremonies. Out of state guests would generate an additional $6 million in spending.
Shari Wilkins, chair of the PFLAG Denver chapter board, writes from the heart on this bill:
Three years ago my partner and I were arrested as we attempted to apply for a marriage license in the City and County of Denver, Colorado. Along with three gay men and one lesbian we were booked and escorted to jail. We spent four days in a court trial, defending both our right to protest in a public place and to have equal access to the laws which seem to apply to everyone else in our State.
Deborah and I have been together for 26 years. I have taught the children of those who would deny me the right to protections afforded heterosexual couples. who have been together for less time. I am a Denver native and have paid the same taxes to fund the Denver County Clerk and Recorder services as my straight cousins, aunts and uncles. Both Deborah and I give to the community with both love, compassion, time and dollars.
It is time to stop the hateful rhetoric about the harm that gay marriage or civil unions will do to this country. This is not a biblical issue, it is a human equality issue. We make application for marriage licenses in the County Clerk and Recorder's Office, not in the office of the local church. This is not about GLBT citizens destorying an institution, but about couples doing the loving and hard work of creating families and relationships based on respect, a belief in the future and most of all loving another human being. How can that be wrong?

Hopefully this will also enhance the child support modification florida so that we don't have to sacrifice their custody if ever their parents decided to be separated. But of course, I hope the number of divorced couples will not increase.

Great post you got there! Whenever there is discrimination occur regarding to your marriage, you can consult a serious crime lawyer to know more about your rights as a couple since the bill has been passed.

We can't control other people's decisions especially their feelings. Same sex marriage is already legal in some parts of the world and according to lawyer seo marketing experts, couples who decides to enter this kind of marriage also deserves equality and respect from other people.

I may have to agree with Annah, these people also need respect and deserves respect. I have a friend who works in mortgage companies in massachusett who just got married with his partner last weekend, and I know that they also support this bill.

Orchid Oolong
Orchid Oolong tea is a fine oolong tea that offers tranquility through a fragrant bouquet of floral notes balanced with a touch of coconut in a rich, soothing infusion. After tasting Orchid Oolong tea you can imagine yourself journeying to a land where the air smells as sweet as the tea tastes.• 4 oz. loose tea in bag • 1 rounded tbsp. per 12 oz. cup • Makes 25-30 cups
Oolong Tea, Natural Flavors
Twisted blue-green, green and brown leaves, dried coconut
Flowery and coconut nose
Amber-yellow liquor
Medium-bodied with hints of coconut and wood
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 185-205F, less than boiling. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Oolong tea
Like black and green teas, oolong contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals.
Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking oolong tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity.
In addition, oolong tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, the vitamins C and K and the amino acid theanine, all in trace amounts.
Coconut (Cocos nucifera)
An ancient fruit, the Coconut's flavorful meat is used to flavor drinks, food and for cooking oil. The plant thrives in sandy soil and in climates with abundant rainfall and sunlight.
Pamper yourself at the end of a long day by pairing Orchid Oolong with chocolate.

Hitch CoversIf you tow your camper with a pick up truck, you will need a hitch. Since taking that hitch off isn't a realistic proposal, you have to make some other plans. The best way to deal with a hitch that isn't in use is to employ a hitch cover.
By placing a hitch cover on your empty hitch, you accomplish two things. First, you keep your hitch from being damaged when not in use. Even though the hitch is made of steel, it can rust, get dented, and even fall prey to pranksters who think it is great fun to fill it with something. Second, you get to show off a bit of your spirit.
Hitch covers run the gamut from plain to fanciful. Sport a lighted hitch cover that represents your team or one that commemorates your service in the military. There is a hitch cover that is sure to please just about everyone; you just have to look.

Democrats rally together at picnic
Published: Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 4:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 4:43 p.m.
Counting down the days to the November election, members of the Henderson County Democratic Party rallied together at a potluck picnic with its candidates and community supporters Saturday afternoon at Patton Park.
Party Chairman Clay Eddleman welcomed the guests, announcing that the party has more candidates running in this election than it has many years.
Eleventh District Executive Committee Chair Luke Hyde said enthusiasm for the party is strong in the mountains and will produce a good turnout in November. With changes to voter ID laws and college student voting, Hyde said the state's legislature has hurt the electoral process which, along with its recent work on education, employment and the environment, will strengthen Democratic voter turnout.
NC House district 113 candidate Norm Bossert took the stage, motivating attendees to get Democrats out to vote and volunteer in every way they can.
Bossert said voters will see hard issues raised in the upcoming election, which he said will be a tough one for the Democrats, but there is a wave rising in Western North Carolina.
"A wave of people, who win or lose, are going to be there," Bossert added. "We are going to make this state work for us. We are going to make it a home for everybody no matter who they are."
Bossert said doing that will mean taking care of the poor, making schools better for children and expanding Medicaid.
"We are a wave, and they cannot stop the ocean," Bossert said. "We are more powerful. At the end of the day, my friends, we are going to succeed not because of the legislature - in spite of the legislator."
State Senate candidate Rick Wood said he has contacted Sen. Tom Apodaca's Hendersonville and Raleigh offices, and is trying to set up a debate between the candidates.
"We're 80 days from Nov. the 4th, but there's going to be a change in North Carolina," Wood said.
Tom Hill, a congressional candidate running against Mark Meadows, said he's focusing on issues like ending war spending without hurting veteran benefits, equal pay for women, lowering corporate tax credits to help balance the budget and immigration reform to help farms.
Sheriff candidate Martin "Marty" Katz said he hopes to be the first Democratic sheriff the county has seen in 50 years.
"It's all about public safety over politics, because you don't make the law, you just enforce the law, so it really has no effect at my level," Katz said.
After giving their stump speeches, many candidates stayed to talk to supporters and pass out promotional materials.

Ten years ago this month, in August 2002, FDA published its groundbreaking guidance document, Pharmaceutical cGMPs for the 21st century: A Risk-Based Approach, to encourage a quality- and risk-based, approach to pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. With a growing focus on process analytical technology (PAT), industry quickly began to apply the guidance to production as well as development and the concept of quality by design (QbD) emerged. QbD requires the thorough scoping and understanding of key parameters in process development. An outcome of a QbD approach is that the product attains the desired quality every time it is produced. QbD creates a robust and repeatable framework that ensures that quality is designed-in, not tested for, in the product.
There was initial resistance from some industry parties to the implementation of QbD. Many thought that the process would mean an increase in workload during the development phase. Some noted that implementation would be significantly more complicated with biologics compared with traditional small-molecule drugs. With the understanding that quality and improved efficiency were crucial to all drug products, in 2008, the FDA Office of Biotechnology Products launched a pilot program for QbD to evaluate and identify best practice for the risk-based approach with biologics. Work in this area is now ongoing throughout the industry and this article examines how critical quality attributes (CQA)—a key component of QbD—can be defined using analytical tools, with a focus on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
Aims of bioprocess optimizationThe challenge in producing biologics using a cell-line platform is how to develop a robust process with optimal cell-growth conditions within a short timeframe. A product must be delivered which meets market requirements in terms of quality, safety, and cost, and in a manner that anticipates potential issues during clinical and commercial production. A crucial aspect of bioprocess optimization is the development of the media and feed strategy that meets the specific cell-line metabolic requirements. NMR-based methods can provide rapid accurate, quantitative monitoring of more than 50 feed components, contaminants, and metabolites within culture media at any stage of the process framework, and thereby help to meet QbD requirements. This approach necessitates identification of optimal nutritional and cell-growth conditions, as well as resolution of issues related to eventual impurities and causes of variation in the culture-process performance.
Optimization tools. Spent media analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) techniques is a common approach to understanding the factors limiting cell growth, and therefore, can help identify which parameters of the cell-culture media should be adjusted to optimize protein production. However, several limitations are associated with these methods. Analyses are generally slow, costly, and restricted in the number of components which may be studied, leading to an incomplete picture of the bioprocess and the factors which may affect scale-up.
Recently, application of NMR spectroscopy to the profiling of complex matrices, such as cell culture media and spent media, has shown major advantages when compared with LC methods (1, 2). NMR spectroscopy, a universal detection method, is characterized by a large dynamic range and measurement of the signal intensity can provide fast acquisition of quantitative results.
NMR and the future of bioprocess optimization
Cell-culture process optimization is crucial if production of recombinant protein products is to be commercially viable. Developments in NMR methodology have provided a new and useful tool allowing the biologics industry to rapidly and accurately analyze culture media, thereby elucidating the concentration profile of multiple components. This technique can be used in designing new media, troubleshooting existing culture media problems, standardizing cell-culture media prior to large-scale production, and examining spent media to highlight efficiency and cost issues.
According to FDA, "Quality by Design [QbD] is understanding the manufacturing process and identifying the key steps for obtaining and assuring a pre-defined final product quality" (3). FDA has identified the use of new analytical methods, such as NMR, to monitor and control processes as important in increasing manufacturing quality through QbD (3). Offering the ability to characterize chemically complex media, NMR techniques have the potential to contribute significantly to an understanding of process-critical parameters, helping to reduce performance variability and minimize the risk of process failure in large-scale biopharma production.
Advantages of NMR monitoring. As previously mentioned, one advantage of NMR compared with LC-based techniques is the ability to analyze simultaneously more than 50 (up to ca. 100–150) compounds, including amino acids, saccharides, components of the Krebs cycle and vitamins at one time. Specific sets of NMR peaks relate to specific analytes and each peak can be interpreted quantitatively. Therefore, it is possible to identify molecules—polar, nonpolar, volatile and nonvolatile— not previously reachable when using a targeted approach based on techniques such as HPLC or MS. NMR can help in the evaluation of the components that a cell line is consuming, as well as give insight into the production of metabolites and metabolic pathways. For example, formate, acetate, saccharides, and methanol can be accurately and rapidly monitored at the same time using NMR.
NMR is characterized by a suitable limit of detection (1–10 μM), with a linear signal over a broad concentration range (1μ–500 mM) and can provide highly reproducible results. Systematic calibration is not required. As a consequence, results are comparable across machines and research sites.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
Czech Republic, 2012, 108 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Romance
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Czech
DIRECTOR: Milan Cieslar
Producer: Milan Cieslar, Kamil Kozisek, Richard Signeski, Jaroslav KuceraEditor: Alois FisarekScreenwriter: Martin HorskyCinematographer: Marek JíchaPrincipal Cast: Petr Nárožný, Aneta Krejcíková, Eliška Balzerová, Simona Stašová, Ondrej Vetchý
Czech director Mila Cieslar's wry, observant comedy explores all kinds of love caught up in all kinds of weather: parental love that would smother its children, forbidden gay love struggling to survive, long-lost love rekindled, blind love that comes to see clearly.
The fascinating couples of the piece include a pretty 18-year-old pianist (Aneta Krejcíková) who lost her sight at 10 and now finds herself in the arms of a dark gypsy boy (Maciej Cymorek) she imagines to be blue-eyed and blond; an overprotective grandfather (Petr Nárožný) who rediscovers the rebellious flame of his youth (Eliška Balzerová), now on the edge of dementia but still smoking pot and evading the police; a "wayward" gay son (Petr Vancura) whose own mother carts him off to a brothel so he can take the cure. A brilliant ensemble cast provides some masterful interplay, and screenwriter Martin Horský gives each troubled character, old or young, almost exactly the right things to say. That also goes for the gay boy's wonderfully comic parents—the mild-mannered soccer fan (Ondrej Vetchý) who must conceal his enthusiasm even as he offers his son unconditional love, and the overbearing mother (Simona Stašová), grotesque in her bedtime mud-mask, who cannot accept reality.
A graduate of the world-renowned Prague Film School, Cieslar has been directing films since 1985 and has been frequently represented at festivals with such audience favorites as Dirty Soul (2003), A Snowy Night (2009) and Sign of the Horse (2011).

Stocks to Watch: Jos. A. Bank, Caterpillar, Transocean
By Anna Prior
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Monday's session are Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. (JOSB) Caterpillar (CAT) and Transocean (RIG, RIGN.VX).
Jos. A. Bank expects net income for fiscal 2012 to be roughly 20% lower than net income for fiscal 2011, citing higher marketing expenses and a lower gross margin. Chief Executive R. Neal Black said he was "disappointed" the company couldn't drive the sales gains it expected, noting that the fourth quarter started out slowly, and that its holiday promotions were for items that sell best in cold weather, while the weather this past season "was unseasonably warm." Shares of the men's apparel retailer tumbled 17% to $38.45 in premarket trading.
Caterpillar's fourth-quarter earnings fell 55% amid a $580 million write-down related to the uncovering of accounting misconduct at a unit of ERA Mining Machinery Ltd., which Caterpillar acquired last year. The maker of construction and mining equipment also reported that the changes in dealer new machine inventories hurt revenue. Shares rose 2.3% to $97.82 premarket as the company provided guidance ranges bracketing analysts' estimates for the year and said that while it remains cautious, it is encouraged by recent improvements in economic indicators.
Activist investor Carl Icahn increased his stake in Transocean to 5.6% and urged the company to declare a $4-a-share dividend, saying he believes the company's shares are undervalued. Shares were up 2.5% to $58.20 premarket.
Keryx Biopharmaceuticals (KERX) said results from the long-term Phase 3 study of Zerenex showed the drug reduced serum phosphorus levels in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis. Shares of the drug company rose 42% to $4.88 premarket.
The FDA has approved three new products using the ingredient alogliptin for the treatment of type-2 diabetes, the most-common form of the disease. The three related drugs–Nesina, Kazano and Oseni tablets–are distributed by Japanese drug maker Takeda Pharmaceutical (TKPYY, 4502.TO). The company has paid royalties to partner and drug developer Furiex Pharmaceuticals (FURX) for the sale of alogliptin products in Japan. Shares of Furiex rose 33% to $28.25 premarket.
Repros Therapeutics (RPRX) plans to release data from a clinical trial of its Androxal treatment for secondary hypogonadism during the third quarter instead of the second quarter amid marked discrepancies in baseline sperm counts at one of 17 sites in the study. Although Repros said it doesn't expect the developments to affect the timing of its new-drug application to the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment, shares of the biopharmaceutical drug developer fell 7.6% to $17.20 premarket.
Salesforce.com (CRM) will seek shareholder approval for a 4-for-1 stock split at its annual investor meeting in March, according to a filing Friday with regulators. Shares were up 2.6% to $178.44 premarket.
Biopharmaceutical company Immunomedics (IMMU) announced an agreement with Algeta ASA (ALGZF) for the development of a potential cancer treatment using Immunomedics' humanized anti-CD22 antibody, epratuzumab. Immunomedics shares rose 9.5% to $2.99 premarket.
Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) said its board chairman, Chad Deaton, will retire, and Chief Executive Martin Craighead will take his place.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Pfizer (PFE) Prevnar 13 vaccine for use in children and adolescents ages six to 17 years old, making Prevnar the first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine approved for that age group.
Regis (RGS) said it understated the fiscal first-quarter noncash foreign-currency gain related to the sale of its stake in Provalliance by $9.9 million.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- In 2010, a $236-million bond referendum to repair and replace several Aiken County schools was shot down. Voters gave it a thumbs down. The margins were 70 percent, opposed to just 30 percent in favor.
"I didn't think we would win because the opposition was well-funded," said Debbie Nix of We The People Aiken.
Nix was strongly opposed to the referendum.
Three years ago, the small business owner led the charge to nix the referendum that would cost taxpayers more. Now, she's gearing up for another possible fight.
"2010 is not forgettable. Seventy percent -- that's a large amount of the vote. That's a landslide," Nix said.
At Tuesday night's school board meeting, member Richard Hazen of Aiken suggested another bond referendum may be needed. As schools like Leavelle McCampbell Middle School are replaced using existing funds, he made the argument that other school would go without. He said as the district repairs Leavelle, it'll abandon other projects along with the proper amount of cyclical maintenance across the district.
"I think it's inevitable," Hazen said. "We're going to have to go back to the public to ask for money."
On Wednesday morning, Nix was lost for words.
"I'm just shocked. I am shocked that they think that that is a doable thing," she said.
Hazen suggest a 1-cent sales tax instead, but a change would be needed at the state level first before voters in the school district could vote for it.
On Wednesday morning, newly-elected school board member Tad Barber told News 12 both the penny tax and a bond referendum may be needed. However, he said his hope is that the problem could be solved with just a penny tax. He says school construction costs should be brought down drastically and is currently studying the way Richmond and Columbia counties build schools.
"We will fight this on the people's behalf," Nix said.
She agrees renovations are needed in schools like Leavelle and North Augusta High School.
"But see, we're not given those numbers and what's the needs assessment for a new school, and those are the things that the people of Aiken County deserve to know from their school board," she said.
Currently, not one of Aiken County's three senators have given them any commitment to change the law for a 1-cent sales tax option. Sen. Tom Young, R-Aiken, says he has been in communication with board members and that he's still studying how the fix could legally be done. Sen. Shane Massey, R-Aiken, told News 12 he's also still in talks with board members.
Of course, not every school board member is for a new bond referendum. Board member Dwight Smith voiced his opposition Tuesday night. Member Wesley Hightower is also adamantly opposed. He tells News 12 that he's still blown away that it was even suggested during Tuesday's meeting. He says voters gave the school board a strong no the first time.
"I don't want to be a part of this," Hightower told News 12.

A Charitable Lead Trust works just the opposite of a typical life income arrangement. Instead of the donor receiving income for a period of time and the principal then passing to the Seminary, it is the Seminary that receives income for a period of time, with the principal then being passed on to the donor's children, grandchildren, or others at greatly reduced federal gift and estate taxes, or free of them altogether. This form of Charitable Lead Trust is called a non-grantor lead trust. It has particular appeal to individuals with strong charitable intent in high gift and estate tax brackets. It does not, however, provide them with a charitable deduction for income tax purposes. Generation-skipping tax considerations should also be taken into account with regard to a non-grantor lead trust.
For those who prefer to have the trust assets back when the term of the trust ends rather than passing them along to others, there is an alternative known as a grantor lead trust. This arrangement allows the donor to make a sizeable gift to a charitable institution such as the Seminary for a number of years and then receive the trust principal back. He or she would receive a substantial income tax charitable deduction when the trust is created, but would also be subject to tax on all taxable income earned by the trust, including the payments made to the Seminary. As a result, investments earning tax-free income are an attractive alternative where grantor lead trusts are concerned.
Both non-grantor and grantor lead trusts are available in annuity trust or unitrust versions. The former would pay the Seminary a fixed dollar amount, while payout from the latter would be related to the fortunes of the market and, thus, be variable from year to year. These and other estate planning considerations highlight for donors the importance of consulting their own legal and financial advisors.
Those entering into lead trust arrangements with the Seminary would be invited to become members of the Legacy Society.
Seminary policy requires that all donors and beneficiaries be at least fifty years of age. A gift of one hundred thousand dollars or more is required.

HAMMOND, La. – Senior Jessica Jammer led all scorers with a season-high 22 points, but it wasn't enough as Southeastern Louisiana had five players in double-figures to capture a 66-54 victory Saturday afternoon for Play4Kay at the University Center.
Jammer paced the Islanders (1-18, 0-8 SLC) with her sixth double-figure scoring game of the season on 10-of-19 shooting from the field and grabbed seven rebounds while Brandi Huff chipped in eight points. Ashanti Plummer registered a career-high seven rebounds while adding seven points in a game that featured three ties and five lead changes.
The Lady Lions (8-11, 1-7 SLC) tallied 26 of their 66 points from the free-throw line and had five players in double-figure scoring. Symone Miller led Southeastern La. with 14 points while Brandi Simmons (12), Aja Gibson (11), Elizabeth Styles (11) and Jameika Hoskins (10) led the Lady Lions in scoring.
The Islanders jumped out a 7-0 lead with baskets by Jammer and Verne'qua Taylor. The Lady Lions got on board with 15 minutes to play in the first half with a layup before Huff hit a layup to push the Islanders ahead by seven. The Islanders built a 15-8 lead after layups by Plummer, Taylor and a putback by Jammer, but after trading baskets, the Lady Lions put together a 10-0 run to take a 20-17 lead with just under six to play in the first half.
Jammer followed with another layup but back-to-back baskets by the Lady Lions padded their lead to five. The Islanders gained momentum heading into the half by building a mini 5-2 run to cut the deficit to two.
The Lady Lions took a 26-24 lead into the locker room. The Islanders shot 39.3 percent to Southeastern La.'s 36.4 percent. Jammer paced all scorers with 13 points and added six rebounds. Plummer led the glass with six rebounds to help the Islanders outrebound the Lady Lions' 20-14. Gibson led Southeastern La. with eight points.
The Islanders jumpstarted the second half on a 3-0 run to take a 27-26 lead. The Lady Lions followed with the first three of the game to take over the lead but Jammer quickly knotted the score at 29 with a layup. After a free throw by Hoskins, Plummer gave the Islanders a 31-30 lead with 15:47 to play on a layup. However, the Lady Lions put together an 11-4 run with 12:50 to take the lead for good.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi battled back putting together a late rally to cut the lead to three with six minutes to play on a 9-0 run, but an 11-2 run by the Lady Lions capped the scoring.
Jammer, Huff, Taylor, Imani Dunn and Taryn Gregory all received the starting nod for the Islanders, the first time that starting five has seen the floor together and it marked the 10th different starting lineup this season.
The Islanders will return home to host Sam Houston State at the Dugan Wellness Center on Friday, Feb. 1. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
Deployment of nematode resistant carrots to U.S. growers and seed industry.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
We have discovered multiple genetic sources of nematode resistance in carrot germplasm. In this project we will confirm the strength of the resistance, intercross best resistance, produce ample seed for extensive field testing, and release best resistance to the public, especially growers and seed companies. We will also evaluate horticultural quality including field performance traits (color, shape, uniformity) and consumer quality (flavor and nutritional value), hold field days for the carrot production community, and confirm genetic models of resistance in mapping populations.

Check out a slideshow of the exhibit:
Open through the 2012 World Series
Celebrate Kansas City's All-Star summer with this new exhibit exploring our local baseball heritage.
It's a story that takes us from the company-sponsored baseball of the post-Civil War era and through the rise of professional teams like the Blues of the American Association and the Monarchs of the Negro leagues. Kansas City emerged as a "major league" town with the arrival of the Athletics in the 1950s.
Today the Royals continue the colorful tradition of our town's love affair with the "national pastime."

Woman Injured in Lake Wales Apartment Fire
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 11:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 11:35 a.m.
LAKE WALES | A woman in her 30s is listed as stable after being injured in an apartment fire Monday night.
The Lake Wales Fire Department was sent at 5:46 p.m. Monday to a fire at Quails Bluff Apartments off Burns Avenue.
Six firefighters in two engines arrived in six minutes to find Apartment 11101 full of heavy smoke, said Fire Chief Jerry Brown.
They did a quick search and found the woman inside, lying on the floor in front of the stove, Brown said.
Fire crews got her out of the apartment, started medical treatment and transported her to Lake Wales Medical Center, he said.
Brown said he is unable to release the woman's name or any other specific information about her.
The fire appeared to have started from a pot on the stove, he said, and the apartment had very little damage other than smoke.
"That was it," he said.
Firefighters had the fire under control in less than 20 minutes and had cleared the scene by 6:31 p.m.

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

Stimulus Act Expands Clean Energy Tax Credits for Homes and Businesses
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will provide a number of tax credits for the manufacture and sale of the Chevy Volt, a plug-in electric vehicle that is slated for production in 2010.
President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 on February 17, and the tax section of the act provides greater tax credits for clean energy projects at homes and businesses and for the manufacturers of clean energy technologies. For homeowners, the act increases a 10% tax credit for energy efficiency improvements to a 30% tax credit, eliminates caps for specific improvements (such as windows and furnaces), and instead establishes an aggregate cap of $1,500 for all improvements placed in service in 2009 and 2010 (except biomass systems, which must be placed in service after the act is enacted). The act also tightens the energy efficiency requirements to meet current standards. For residential renewable energy systems, the act removes all caps on the tax credits, which equal 30% of the cost of qualified solar energy systems, geothermal heat pumps, small wind turbines, and fuel cell systems. The act also eliminates a reduction in credits for installations with subsidized financing. See pages 41-47 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009 (PDF 5.9 MB), as well as PDF pages 125-129 (labeled as pages 123-127) of the accompanying joint explanatory statement of the conference committee (PDF 24.9 MB) Download Adobe Reader.
For businesses and individuals buying electric vehicles, the act simplifies and expands the available tax credits. For electric low-speed vehicles, motorcycles, and three-wheeled vehicles, a 10% tax credit is available through 2011, with a cap of $2,500. For vehicles converted into qualified plug-in electric vehicles, a 10% tax credit is also available through 2011, with a cap of $4,000. And starting in 2010, full-scale commercial plug-in electric vehicles can earn a maximum tax credit of $7,500, depending on their battery capacity. The credit will phase out over a year for each manufacturer after they sell 200,000 plug-in vehicles. See pages 50-68 of the act, as well as PDF pages 138-141 of the joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.
The act also provides a bonus to homeowners or business owners installing clean fuel refueling systems at their homes or businesses. For businesses, the maximum credit for installing such refueling systems increases to $50,000 for most systems, up from $30,000, and it increases to $200,000 for hydrogen refueling stations. For homeowners, the credit is doubled from $1,000 to $2,000. Homeowners might install their own natural gas refueling system for a natural gas vehicle, or they might install recharging systems for plug-in electric vehicles. The credit is available through 2010 for most refueling systems and through 2014 for hydrogen refueling systems. See pages 47-48 of the act, as well as PDF pages 130-131 of the joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.
The economic stimulus act has also added a new tax credit to encourage investment in the manufacturing facilities that help make such clean energy projects possible. A new 30% investment tax credit is available for projects that establish, re-equip, or expand manufacturing facilities for fuel cells, microturbines, renewable fuel refineries and blending facilities, energy saving technologies, smart grid technologies, and solar, wind, and geothermal technologies. The credit also applies to the manufacture of plug-in electric vehicles and their electric components, such as battery packs, electric motors, generators, and power control units. The credit may also be expanded in the future to include other energy technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Secretary of Treasury must establish a certification program within the next 180 days and may allocate up to $2.3 billion in tax credits. See pages 101-110 of the act, as well as PDF pages 142-144 of the joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac
Enhances security and stability.
Microsoft Office 2004 allows you to experience the beauty, power, and stability of all four Microsoft Office for Mac programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: organizing , processing , word , productivity , office , email
44 Opinions
I use Word and Excel daily at work. It's a love/hate thing. I love that I can use my Mac at work. I hate that I have to use Microsoft Office but the alternatives (NeoOffice) just didn't cut it for me.
Claimed all of my fonts were corrupted, not worth the hassle. Switched to NeoOffice - faster and suits all of my needs.
This was my security blanket when I bought my mac. I still suck on it from time to time; but knowing what i know now i would rather have spent the extra money on a faster mac!
For anyone whose life doesn't depend on this app, you don't need it. From a word processing side there are so many choices, even some of the small applications are surprisingly useful.
Vade retro, Microsofta!
I use NeoOffice instead. And TextEdit for most .doc correspondence.
Why i should use Office on a Mac, when there is NEOOFFICE and Parallels.
I am one of the few people that love using Office on a Mac.
I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how Microsoft managed to make a piece of software that is horrible on its own OS, but actually kind of sleek on a Mac. Entourage is a disaster and Keynote so much nicer than PowerPoint, but hey, just do what I did and only install Word and Excel
I hate his program, but I'm stuck with it. I work in editorial and I cannot waste the time to make sure that all the styles in my files have been properly applied when I import/export from iWork or NeoOffice. Any suggestions for getting me out of using this?
I only use Excel. What should I do?
I'm clicking this because it seems silly to add more apps, but I don't use office 2004 for mac, I use Word 2004 for mac and Entourage 2004.

Before Christ (well, several years ago) I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for cables that mentioned Lebanese originating from US Embassies in West Africa. In the summer of 2011 the request was granted and I got lots of cables. In the letter granting my request, the State Department promised to look at Bureau of African Affairs documents for me as well, and yesterday they sent some that they declassified for me. Reading the documents gave me warm and fuzzing I-live-in-a-real-democracy feelings.
The documents being released to me (6 of 9 that they determined were relevant) are all on Sierra Leone for some reason.
From a factual standpoint, they're not that interesting.
The thing that is most striking is that the documents assert over and over again that Lebanese in West Africa are funding Hezbollah ("hundreds of millions of dollars" according to one cable), but it's unclear if these assumptions are based on any evidence other than hearsay, as none is provided.
Here is an excerpt from an email that was somewhat interesting:
Export tax hike to affect diamond exporters? Embassy Freetown reports that the [Government of Sierra Leone] is insisting that, in accordance with 2002 legislation, diamond exporters pay their income tax including penalties and arrears for 2004-2005. This action could result in the 4-5 major Lebanese exporters having to pay millions of dollars, which in turn could lead to more smuggling. The Vice President has told the revenue authority director to be flexible in negotiating with the exporters, and the President has agreed to a high level meeting with the revenue authority director once the Finance Ministry returns to the country in about 10 days. (Oct 28, unclear what year)
You can read the documents yourself here. (It's hard to determine the document dates.)

Tuscaloosa City Council approves funds for new PARA building
Facility needed to lure archery tournament, officials said
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 10:38 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Out of what officials described as a sense of urgency, the Tuscaloosa City Council unanimously allocated $500,000 for a new facility at Munny Sokol Park.
The multi-use facility, expected to be about 10,000-square-feet, was outlined in the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority's five-year plan when it was presented to the City Council and Tuscaloosa County Commission last year.
While originally slated for the second year of the plan, the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission asked that the construction be accelerated to lure an archery tournament to Tuscaloosa.
"This just presents so many opportunities for us to be able to attract people to Tuscaloosa," said commission CEO Susan C. West of the multi-use building and PARA's plan as a whole. "It fits with the mission of what we're trying to be about, and that's positioning Tuscaloosa to attract these kinds of events, which brings economic impact and tax dollars back to the city."
With the council's approval, the TTSC can finalize its application to bring an Archery Shooters Association tournament to Tuscaloosa for at least three years, starting in 2014, said West, who became TTSC's CEO 11 months ago.
While the actual shooting will take place outdoors on a 250 acre field at Sokol Park North, the multi-use facility — expected to cost at least $450,000 — is needed for other aspects of the tournament, such as vendor set-up, exhibiting, staging, and other uses, she said.
According to a TTSC analysis, this tournament is expected to bring an additional $1 million in sales tax and other revenues to the city during its the expected five-day stay for participants and their families.
Similar tournaments in recent years have meant an economic enhancement of between $750,000 (in Gainesville, Fla.) and $2 million (in Cullman), the TTSC data said.
The facility is meant for additional uses, as well, such as indoor soccer, basketball, boxing, mixed martial arts, flag football and other tournaments and activities.
Based on the council's vote, construction of the facility will take place with or without participation from the Tuscaloosa County Commission.
When the City Council was presented in September with PARA's five-year plan, then estimated at $12.1 million, council members voiced its support and the council's Finance Committee voted to commit to the first three years of funding.
But when it was presented by PARA to the County Commission the following month, the plan had grown to an estimated $15.3 million and county leaders voiced no similar commitment, citing a need to study it further.
West and PARA officials intend to meet again with the County Commission, now that the new members elected in November have taken their seats, to once more seek a financial commitment.
"At this point, there is no guarantee of county participation because we haven't spoken with them yet," said Mayor Walt Maddox, who appeared to endorse the council's approval of the facility's construction.
Later, Maddox clarified his position, saying that he was supportive of PARA's five-year plan as a whole, but would have preferred that the multi-use facility would not be needed so soon.
"Having to accelerate (the plan) is not the best position for us to be in," the mayor said, "but obtaining the economic benefits it stands to bring is something I believe we had to pursue."

Also, should tell mom that my phone refuses to charge. It flickers on using the battery I have, but dies quickly.

3. Gadgets
Ah, yes, the wireless card. =) I am a very lucky girl. My parents got me a wireless card for my Christmas gift (in addition to my beautiful subnotebook, of course). One of the things I really like about my parents is that they won't actually wait until Christmas to give it to me, since I can very well use it before then. =) I have clueful parents.
Got my wireless card working. There was a bit of confusion about eth0 and eth1 - turned out to be my fault. Once I had gotten my dhclient all sorted out (I was mistakenly calling it from intuitively, and that turned out to be a Bad Thing), it Just Worked. For reference, I've got a Linksys WPC-11 Instant Wireless card. It's supposed to be a Prism2, so has limited functionality but can act as a wireless access point with the hostap tools. Coverage in Faura is not bad, but I haven't checked other areas for decent signal. Should improve if Dr. Sarmenta manages to get Microsoft to agree to blanket the campus with wireless access points.
Speaking of Dr. Sarmenta... He was in a meeting earlier, so we didn't have ThesisProject class. I want to change advisors. ;)
2. Microsoft and wasted PR opportunities
If you think about it, many of our classes are too vendor-centric. Take Contemporary Databases (translation: Oracle), or Enterprise Java Programming (guess), or even Intro to C++, which was actually pretty okay if not fairly boring, and had a sliver of MFC tacked on at the end but didn't cover other toolkits). On the plus side, we do actually have Systems Programming, which is Unix-based thanks to the strong push of people like William Yu, Sir Marco and Doc Mana if I'm not mistaken. w00t!
(Update 2003.09.24: Come to think of it, we're remarkably not vendor-centric - at least the classe I've taken.)
Anyway, I really should be going to bed now. My roommate has borrowed my alarm clock again - it's apparently the loudest in the dorm... =) Hopefully I'll remember to wake up tomorrow. Good night!

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, situated by the Pacific Ocean with miles and miles of beach, is known for its water activities; but we locals know, inland can be just as impressive.
The 5 mile long Ciclopista is fantastic trail for cycling, jogging and rollerblading. I love the trail for its lush landscape and varied wildlife.
The first section of the Ciclopista starts at Marina Ixtapa, passes Marina Ixtapa Golf Course, and continues up the coast, to Capella Ixtapa and onto park Aztlan, an ecological preserve. Soon after passing our hotel, you can stop for a swim at nearby Playa Linda, which in translation literally means "a beautiful beach". The second part of the Ciclopista runs between the towns Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo.
So what can you expect to see along the trail? The route runs through a virtual rain forest, green with beautiful trees including ceibas, hujes, and exotic parotas, some are over 115 feet tall! The animal life is equally impressive! Birdlife includes woodpeckers, calandrias, magpies, chacalacas, parrots, eagles, white herons, hawks, spoonbills and storks. I have also seen, lake turtles, armadillos, green iguanas, badgers, squirrels, raccoons, tlacuaches (which is the nahuatl word for a species of possum, called also "Mexican mouse") and of course crocodiles, which live on the preserve. (Don't worry; they can't get to you as the preserve's fencing separates them from the trail).
I prefer to cycle the Ciclopista in the morning or late afternoons, after the sun has cooled down. It is the best time to catch the animals out and about! The trail really captures so much of what makes the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo region so unique. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to discover it for yourself!

The sheer volume of electronically stored documents (ESI) often seems to obscure the actual business data stored on information systems. Digital forensics and electronic discovery (e-discovery) procedures encompass the full spectrum of digital information. In the legal community, electronic data is known as "Electronically stored information" (ESI). The sheer volume of documents, presentations, spreadsheets and similar electronic analogs of paper documents has spawned a huge need to collate and analyze data. The "paperless" office has, in this sense, produced a blizzard of electronic documents for analysis. In this blizzard of standard format electronic documents, the actual contents of various information systems are often underappreciated. This should not be so. Information systems, whether custom or packaged, are an important source of original raw data about a business. Abstracted documents, whether memoranda or invoices, are derivative forms based upon the raw information.

LAKE LOUISE, AB - Veteran U.S. Ski Team downhiller Marco Sullivan of Truckee parlayed a strong training run Thursday into a third-place downhill finish Saturday in the opening Audi FIS Alpine World Cup speed event of the season in Lake Louise.
Starting 42nd, the former Squaw Valley Ski Team standout hit a perfect line to tie with Austrian Klaus Kroell, .64 seconds behind winner Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway.
It was his first World Cup podium since 2009, and the fourth podium of his 13-year career with the U.S. Ski Team. He won the downhill at Chamonix, France, in 2008, but is coming off a couple of down seasons.
"It was a little bit emotional at the finish," Sullivan said. "Just to have that happen after a few down years and to start out the year like this, is beyond my expectations.
"I wouldn't still be racing if I didn't think I could still compete," he added. "This year, my place on the team was a little bit in jeopardy. I lost a lot of sponsors. I worked really hard this summer, and for it to show on the first race of the year was special."
After recovering from a back injury this past spring, Sullivan switched to Atomic skis and boots and spent more than a month in Chile dialing in his new equipment.
"I had a couple of herniated discs in my back this spring and didn't do a whole lot for three months, except for therapy for that," he said. "Once I was finally feeling good, I spent a six-week block in Chile and really got comfortable on the new equipment."
Sullivan also credited two weeks of training recently with his U.S. team.
"We showed up at the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper and it was in great shape. The training was fantastic and that really gave me some confidence. I came up to Lake Louise knowing I could do something good. My goal was top 10 and to exceed that was awesome," he said.
American Ryan Cochran-Siegle was 25th for the best downhill result of his career. Travis Ganong of Squaw Valley was 39th and Steven Nyman was 40th.

EDWARDS — Real Americans are not a complicated lot; if you brew better beer, Real Americans buy it and your business gets bigger.
Take local Crazy Mountain Brewing Company and the Bonfire Brewery, for example. Equipment started arriving Tuesday that will almost double Crazy Mountain's brewing capacity and add 10 jobs. Crazy Mountain's growth has topped 300 percent in each of the past two years, the company said.
"Our capacity is completely maxed out and we can barely keep up with orders," said Zach Schmitz, Crazy Mountain's national sales director. "While it's a good problem to have, we need to grow to keep up with demand."
Speaking of demand, Bonfire Brewery will launch its statewide distribution in two days.
"We'll be available in every corner of the state," said Bonfire's Andy Jessen.
Crazy Mountain's brewing capacity will increase from 12,000 barrels per year to 20,000 barrels. Right now, they can brew 60 barrels a day. This will increase that to 100 in 24 hours and 124 in 28 hours.
Just so you know, a barrel is 31 gallons. There'll be a quiz.
Crazy Mountain will add production and packaging jobs and a night shift to brew and bottle/can beer 24 hours a day. Crazy Mountain's beers are distributed in 14 states from coast to coast, and Sweden and Japan.
Crazy Mountain started brewing beer in 2009 and have been in their Edwards location since 2010.
"We have good beer and we're grateful that people like drinking it," said Crazy Mountain's Stephanie Merritt. "Last time we checked we were one of the fastest growing breweries in America."
Owner and brewmaster Kevin Selvy was a stock trader in San Francisco and was making beer in his backyard.
"I knew I wanted to open a brewery, and I figured it'd be a good idea if I learned to brew beer," Selvy said.
He's an observant fellow and noticed his friends were more interested in his beer than his financial insight. So he brewed beer and gave it to friends. He attracted lots of new friends.
One of those friends went on a sailing trip with a friend who worked for Anchor Brewing, America's original microbrewery. Selvy's new Anchor acquaintance called to ask him to interview for an internship, and before you can say, "Let me open that for you," Selvy was face-to-face with Fritz Maytag, the father of America's microbrewing industry.
Maytag offered him a job and Selvy grabbed it.
"I went to my high-paying job at 5 a.m. the next morning and quit to take a huge pay cut and start brewing beer," Selvy said.
Crazy Mountain is named after a mountain on the Selvy family land in Salida.
Local growth
The Vail Valley has three brewpubs: Crazy Mountain Brewery and the Gore Range Brewery in Edwards, and the Bonfire Brewery in Eagle.
Bonfire's Jessen and Matt Wirtz were roommates when they started brewing beer. Their other roommate moved out but kept paying her rent, so they used her space to make some homebrew.
Andy asked Matt if he could make $500 worth of beer every month they could sell, so they wouldn't have to have another roommate.
Their brewing operation moved to the garage and they got pretty good at it. They joke that they've just moved to a series of bigger garages because they're on Second Street in Eagle, where the Viking garage used to be. Last November, they cranked up their production facility on Chambers Avenue in Eagle, and that's how they can go statewide.
Wirtz and Jessen brewed the official beer for Red Cliff's Man of the Cliff, Wood Splitter. Jessen calls it "Lawn Mower for lumberjacks."
"It's in liquor stores and it's almost gone," Jessen said.
"They're saving eight kegs for the event and 10 cases for liquor stores in Red Cliff during the event
They also brewed Gypstoberfest, the official beer of Guypsum's Oktoberfest.
The Bonfire Boys are making their first professional pilgrimage to Denver's Great American Beer Festival, the biggest beer festival in the country.
Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Our capacity is completely maxed out and we can barely keep up with orders," said Zach Schmitz, Crazy Mountain's national sales director. "While it's a good problem to have, we need to grow to keep up with demand."

OAKLAND -- Chelsea Williams may be young, but she knows how to touch an old heart.
The 30-year-old keeper at the Oakland Zoo enjoys training elderly animals using a rewards system. When tortoises, baboons and other animals she works with regularly know they'll get snacks, they are more apt to participate in physical exams and other caretaking.
"You can take so much stress off them through positive reinforcement training," she said.
Williams, a Salinas native who lives near Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, is a young whippersnapper compared to the zoo's giant tortoises from Aldabra, an island in the Indian Ocean. O.J., the oldest male tortoise, is at least 120 years old and doesn't mind going head-to-head with another tortoise, Ralph, who is in his 80s.
"O.J. is a bit more fiery," Williams said, noting that she loves it that he slowly ambles over to greet her.
"These guys are affectionate. Whenever they are coming toward you they want to be with you. That's special."
Williams, who started working at the zoo three years ago, has trained the tortoises to allow staff to draw blood and trim their nails without a fight, a feat her boss appreciates.
"Tortoises require a ton of patience because they are so slow-moving," said Margaret Rousser, a zoo manager. "Being able to do that with their cooperation is really key."
Williams also enjoys working with the Hamadryad baboons, who in February welcomed a new elderly member to their unit from a facility in Lodi.
Daisy, a baboon in her 30s -- they typically live into their 40s -- had to find favor with younger females in her male-dominated group. Even though her arthritis threatened to make her vulnerable, her outgoing personality helped her achieve the right balance of independence and submissiveness.
"She just took to him immediately," she said of Daisy's new male, Gordon. "It was really sweet."
Williams has used training to get the African baboons, who are not usually keen on being around humans, to allow keepers to listen to their heartbeats. Getting animals to help themselves is the most rewarding part of her job, she said.
"There is so much room to improve their lives," she said.
