Meteorite Falls in Russian Urals, 1,000 Hurt
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 3:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:01 a.m.
MOSCOW | A Russian health official says nearly 1,000 people have sought help for injuries caused by a meteor that exploded in the sky, blasting out countless windows.
Chelyabinsk health chief Marina Moskvicheva, said Friday that 985 people in her city had asked for medical assistance. The Interfax news agency quoted her as saying 43 were hospitalized.
The Russian Academy of Sciences said the meteor — estimated to be about 10 tons — entered the Earth's atmosphere going at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph). It shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, releasing several kilotons of energy above the Ural Mountains.
Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky just after sunrise, leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash.
"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people's houses to check if they were OK," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, about 1500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow, the biggest city in the affected region.
"We saw a big burst of light then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
Fragments of the meteor fell in a thinly populated area of the Chelyabinsk region, the Emergency Ministry said in a statement.
Interior Ministry spokesman Vadim Kolesnikov said more than 400 people had sought medical treatment after the blasts, and at least three had been hospitalized in serious condition. Many of the injuries were from glass broken by the explosions.
Kolsenikov also said about 600 square meters (6000 square feet) of a roof at a zinc factory had collapsed.
Reports conflicted on what exactly happened in the clear skies. A spokeswoman for the Emergency Ministry, Irina Rossius, told The Associated Press that there was a meteor shower, but another ministry spokeswoman, Elena Smirnikh, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying it was a single meteorite.
Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky about 9:20 a.m. local time (0320 GMT), leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash.
Russian news reports noted that the meteor hit less than a day before the asteroid 2012 DA14 is to make the closest recorded pass of an asteroid -- about 17,150 miles (28,000 kilometers). There was no immediate demonstrable connection.

PARKERSBURG - The annual Easter Seals Festival of Trees will be celebrating its 26th anniversary with more than 30 decorated trees, wreaths and garlands on display at the Blennerhassett Hotel.
"This year we will have 34 items on display, which includes 25 trees with the other nine items being mostly wreaths with a few garlands," said Jess Puglisi-Sanders with Easter Seals West Virginia.
The items will be on display from today through Dec. 14. The annual auction will begin at 6 p.m. Dec. 11 at the hotel beginning with a silent auction with the live auction of the trees set to begin at 7 p.m. Light hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar will be available.

Parkersburg resident Kiki Angelos makes adjustments to the "Wedding of the Year 2012" bridal tree she designed as one of seven contributions she has made to this year's annual Easter Seals Festival of Trees, which begins today at the Blennerhassett Hotel.

Parkersburg resident Kiki Angelos makes adjustments on the purple butterfly and turquoise tree tucked into a corner near the elevators on the first floor of the Blennerhassett Hotel.
Tickets to attend the event are $25 and will be available for purchase at the door or in advance at the Starbucks counter in the hotel.
This is the first time the auction will not take place on a Friday, as the organizers wanted to reach out to some different contributors.
"We wanted to try something different by having the auction on a Tuesday evening and we encourage everyone to attend the auction," Puglisi-Sanders said. "By having it on Tuesday we want to open it up to as many people as possible."
Also, for the event several individuals, organizations and businesses have contributed to the event either with monetary support or by creating and decorating the trees.
One of this year's decorators is Parkersburg resident Kiki Angelos, who has participated in the event for more than a decade.
"This year I am decorating seven trees, three wreaths and one garland, which is the most I've ever done," Angelos said. "It has been a lot of hard work, but it is worth if for such a good cause."
One of Angelos' trees is a tribute to Parkersburg native Nick Swisher. The trees range in design from cats to a bridal tree and a purple and turquoise butterfly tree. She also decorated a white tree with black and hot pink ornaments.
"I don't know exactly where the ideas come from," Angelos said. "It usually starts with me seeing one item and the idea for the whole tree comes from an ornament or a story."
Angelos has decorated trees with children in mind, including one based on the children's story "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
"I love to see the excited faces of the children when they really like how a tree is decorated," she said.
Proceeds from the event fund local Easter Seals programs, including an equipment/purchase modification and home modification program, which provides communications devices, wheelchair equipment, and stair lifts for people with disabilities. The Easter Seals West Virginia therapy team has been providing in-home early intervention therapy services for kids for more than 10 years.
"All proceeds from this event will benefit kids," said Puglisi-Sanders.
In 2010, the auction brought in more than $50,000, with one tree being auctioned for $21,050.
This is the first year Easter Seals West Virginia has helmed the event, Puglisi-Sanders said.
"Because we are a local Easter Seals, all of the money raised through this event will stay in the Washington and Wood counties area," she said. "We like that we can stay local with this event for the first time."
A panel of five local judges with backgrounds in art will be picking the winning trees in a variety of categories. The "People's Choice" tree will be voted on by community members from today until the start of the auction next Tuesday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pegg from Great Quality & Craftsmanship We purchased a sink, faucet, colander and pot filler faucet and all of them are very high items. This is not something that you would find at your local big box stores & the quality is superb. The pricing and service were also exceptional.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- State officials are asking everyone in Georgia to be on the lookout for the 18-year-old escapee. He is described as a black male with a tall and slender build at 5'8'' and160 pounds.
Officials say he has close cut black hair with brown eyes and no identifying marks or tattoos. He was last seen wearing state-issued blue shorts and a white sleeved T-shirt.
As the search for the teen continues, so does the lockdown at the Youth Development Campus.
Officials say the five did not get far before an off-duty officer spotted the missing youth on a nearby road.
After calling in extra help, the juveniles led Richmond County deputies on a chase in a stolen car.
Nakendrick Glover saw it all.
"I don't know where the chase started from, but it ended up on my street. And it's a quiet street. Got nothing but old folks staying out here," Glover said.
Officials say the 18-year-old man they're still looking for was driving the getaway car.
"Whoever they was, they drive good. They should have been a stunt man or something," Glover said.
But the escapee chose the wrong road for a getaway. Byron Place is a dead end.
It's on this street where Deputies say they caught three of the five inmates. The other two ran into the woods. The fourth youth later surrendered.
"I ain't never seen that many police cars after one person. I knew it had to be something serious," Glover said.
The YDC is no stranger to crisis situations. All of this happened just hours after a different YDC inmate, Michael Everidge, was sentenced to 17 years in jail for the 2011 beating death of Jade Holder.
In a News 12 interview just a few weeks ago, Gale Buckner commented on the state of the facility.
"We identified things that needed to be tightened up safety and security wise. If there was more lighting in the outside areas that would illuminate what was going on in that facility and make it harder for someone to either throw something over a fence or to attempt to help in an escape effort," Buckner said.
Investigators are still trying to verify exactly how and where the escape happened.
Officers from the Atlanta office have come in to comb the campus for security deficiencies and any policy violations that may have helped with the escape.

Property owners in Taylor County will see a very slight increase in their tax rate this year, which means they could be paying just a bit more.
Tax rates for some local taxing districts will increase this year, though the county's property tax revenue is expected to remain the same with a rate that is a bit higher than last year's.
Taylor County Fiscal Court has each year approved a "compensating" tax rate, which means that the new tax rate is expected to bring in the same amount of money as the previous year's rate.

An international panel of scientists is recommending protections for Canada's Boreal Forest. The 1.4-billion-acre region encompasses some of the largest blocks of intact forest and wetlands remaining on the planet. Millions of ducks breed in this vast, largely unspoiled area. In some years, this amounts to about 40 percent of the continental duck population.
The Boreal Forest is under increasing threat from development, including forestry, mining, oil and gas, and hydropower. The authors of a paper released today recommend protecting at least 50 percent of the Boreal Forest. They also recommend using world-class sustainable development practices to conserve wildlife habitat and natural processes in the other 50 percent. These protections and conservation measures will be achieved through the cooperative work of progressive industries, First Nations, governments, the Pew Charitable Trust and conservation groups like Ducks Unlimited.
"Protecting the water and key waterfowl habitats within the Boreal Forest is achievable under the 50/50 framework we are recommending," said Dr. Frederic Reid, Director of DU's Boreal and Arctic Conservation Programs and a member of the International Boreal Conservation Science Panel. "Ducks such as scaup, ring-necked ducks, green-winged teal, American wigeon and bufflehead all will benefit with this conservation strategy."
The International Boreal Conservation Science Panel recommendations were announced today at the International Congress for Conservation Biology in Baltimore. The panel is an independent, interdisciplinary team of scientists from the U.S. and Canada, including representatives from Ducks Unlimited and DU Canada. Their report—Conserving the World's Last Great Forest is Possible: Here's How--outlines how governments across Canada can balance the maintenance of the natural heritage of Canada's boreal forest region with industrial development. It includes examples from across Canada where collaborative efforts aimed at positive solutions are balancing protection with economic opportunities.

In terms of expression systems used, 14 of the 19 newly approved products are produced using mammalian (mainly Chinese hamster ovary, CHO) cell lines, two are expressed in Escherichia coli, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an insect cell-based expression system and a transgenic system is used to produce one product in each case. In overall terms, these figures reflect the ongoing dominance of mammalian-based expression systems in biopharmaceutical manufacture.
Digging a little deeper reveals that only 11 of the 19 therapeutic proteins were genuinely new biomolecular entities approved for the first time within the indicated timeframe. Three of the products (Actemra/RoActemra, Arzerra, and Victoza used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and type 2 diabetes, respectively), although newly approved in one region over the past 2 years, had gained approval prior to 2010 in the other region (see Table I). Also approved, Nivestim is a biosimilar product used to treat neutropenia; while Prolia, used to treat osteoporisis, and Xgeva, used to treat bone loss associated with cancer, are effectively the same product with different indications. Lumizyme replaces the previously approved Myozyme, used to treat Pompe disease, while Scintimun, although gaining EU-wide centralized marketing authorization in 2010, had gained marketing authorizations in selected EU countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Sweden) as far back as 1994.ANTIBODY PRODUCTS
Of the nine antibodies that made it to market, one is chimaeric, one is humanized, and six are fully human. The period also witnessed the approval of a first generation murine antibody produced by traditional hybridoma technology (Scintimun). Such first generation monoclonal antibody (mAb) products are more characteristic of the 1980s and early 1990s than they are of this or indeed the past decade. Engineered antibodies (chimaeric/humanized/fully human) have predominated since that time due to the characteristic clinical disadvantages exhibited by fully murine products (e.g., immunogenicity, the inability to trigger effector functions in humans, and rapid removal from circulation). Given its in vivo diagnostic role (which does not rely upon triggering effector functions) and that it is radiolabeled, such characteristics are less significant in the context of the product in question.
Adcetris is notable in that it is a (CD30-directed) antibody-drug conjugate (used to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma). The conjugated toxin is monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), an anticancer agent. On average, four molecules of MMAE are attached to each antibody molecule. Binding of the antibody conjugate to CD30-expressing cells is followed by endocytotic internalization and subsequent release of MMAE via proteolytic cleavage. MMAE is a microtubule disrupting agent. Binding to tubulin disrupts the microtubule network within the cell, inducing cell cycle arrest and death by apoptosis.

Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote announced the addition of two new members to the Stetson tennis staff on Thursday. Christophe Noblet is a new Assistant Coach, while former Hatter star Maksim Levanovich will be a Volunteer Assistant Coach.
Noblet comes to Stetson after a stint as a graduate assistant for men's and women's tennis at Columbus State University. There, he assisted in the recruitment process, daily practices, on-court coaching, and administrative tasks. Noblet will be assisting with both the men's and women's tennis teams at Stetson.
"I am absolutely thrilled to start working with Coach Pilote and to be part of Stetson Athletics," Noblet said. "Pierre offers a wealth of coaching experience and his dedication to the tennis programs is outstanding. I am looking forward to learning from him on a daily basis."
As a player, Noblet was the team captain and number one player for Columbus State. He was ranked second in the nation in doubles and 31st in singles in 2011. During the 2010-2011 season, Noblet advanced to the NCAA Division II Final Four, and he was the International Schools Cup Winner in France in 2003. He received his Master's Degree in Public Administration (MPA) and his Bachelor of Science at Universite Du Sud in Toulon, France.
"To be able to secure such an outstanding young coach is extremely positive for the tennis program," Pilote said. "His playing credentials are fantastic and his experience as a graduate assistant under Coach Isaacs at Columbus State makes him ready to be a significant asset for both teams. Coach Isaacs has a track record of not only producing great teams but also developing outstanding young coaches."
Levanovich is a familiar face, as he just finished his playing career at Stetson in the spring of 2012. He was a four-year student-athlete on the men's tennis team, finishing his senior season with a 16-2 (6-2 A-Sun) record in singles and a 16-6 (7-2 A-Sun) record in doubles. Levanovich was ranked 113th nationally at one point during his senior season. He was also named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year, Atlantic Sun Scholar Athlete of the Year, and was the recipient of the NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and Wendell Jarrard Sr. Award for Excellence.
"Maksim Levanovich is synonymous with success at Stetson University," Pilote said. "Both squads will benefit greatly from his continued involvement with our programs."
"I feel extremely honored to be able to spend more time on the tennis court with my former teammates and Coach," Levanovich said. "They have become my friends and I know that they will be for the rest of my life. I owe everyone a lot for their support throughout my four years at Stetson. Now it is time for me to give back and share what I have learned with them. I will do my best to help them improve their games by sharing the experience I have gained playing college tennis."

UTG Enforcer Tactical Hip Holster Black
$ 8.99
UTG Enforcer Tactical Hip Holster Black - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- good holsterthis holster is great! i have a tactical elite leg/hip holster which i got tired of because it is to big for my gun. i have a taurus pt92 and a gas M9. they fit perfectly in this holster. the holster can also replace the original one for the leg/hip holster. If u have a medium sized gun, this is the holster for u. great price too. only problem is if u have a gas blowback, the slide catches on the sides but otherwise it is awesome.
- good holsterMy neighbor uses this holster for his sig sauer p226 and he loves it, it is a durable holster that fits most handguns and most clips. Once it is secured to a belt and the strap secured, the pistol goes nowhere, much better than stuffing everything in your pocket. I would recommend it, but remember not to walk into a public place with a pistol in it as the orange tip (mandated by federal law) is not visible.
- Enforcer Tactical Hip HolsterThe best holster you could ever get. I got this holster and my UHC 1911 pistol and I thought that my pistol won't fit in it. Thnakfully, it did. This holster can fit any pistol except for blowback pistols. They kinda snag at the end so it delays you from pulling it out quick. It's nice that it has an extra pouch in the front so it can fit stuff like an extra clip or a flashlight or something. I wish it was made for the thigh area so it could be a lot easier to pull out than to go for your waist. Overall, very good holster.
Lt Loser
- great holsterI got this for my pistols because I got tired of them falling out of my pocket in wars. I love this thing now, you can put any pistol in it (no desert eagles though) really fast and it stays there. downside - it takes a minute to strap it on, but chances are you arent going to be taking it off in the middle of a war anyway, and when you put it on it stays on. the strap is nice and secure so theres no chance your precious pistols will be hurt (unless if maybe you fall straight down onto it). Recomended for anyone who has more than one gun and has a nice pistol able to be used as a nice sidearm.
- Enforcer holstermy friend has this holster. we switched holsters for a game (i have a tactical elite leg/hip holster). I thought this one was pretty good. One of the better UTG holsters. The thing is, i think that its more natural with a thigh holster because your arm reaches down just the right amount and it was a little too annoying for me to have to grab at my waist after having a thigh holster. This thing can be conceled pretty well. and i like the extra mag pouch and its pretty sturdy too.
In my opinion, go with a thigh holster(the good $17 one)
- ....yes...this fits the cyma pistol..m26..makes a great gift for newbie..glad shorty included it...jeffer..."quality of manufacture-sewing is superb"...jeffer
- Better than nothing, a lot better.This holster is incredibly useful. I keep my AE Homeland Defender in this holster, a UTG speed loader in the spare mag pouch, and I carry my M87SA on a sling. Having a holster has enabled me to do many more things while airsofting, like not having to worry about pistols falling out of my pocket, or switching hands when using multiple airsoft guns. The material this holster is made out of is very duable and sturdy. The overall quality is much better than I had expected, and for the price, I highly recommend anyone who likes having more than one airsoft gun in a war to buy this holster, unless you have a desert eagle. Well, i'm tired and have to go to bed now... I'll write some reviews later...
- GREAT HOLTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love this holster. I have a UTG M87SA shotgun and a UHC 1911 spring pistol and when I battle my friends I like to use my shotgun, so I put my pistol and my extra mag in the holster and wait till I run out of ammo for my shotgun. This holster is great for the price!!!!
Airsoft Fanatic
- Good HolsterAnyone looking for a nice low cost holster should get this one. It's well made, and keeps your gun firmly in place. If you wear a military vest during airsoft battles like I do, you may want to consider a leg holster instead, as the vest might get in your way when trying to draw your pistol quickly. Overall though, great item.
- Pretty good holster..This was the first holster i got its madd good and i got to say its the best for battle if u want a good holster get this one its sick.

ALAMEDA -- Raiders coach Dennis Allen talked about making a few "tweaks" during the bye week. One of those changes manifested itself in rookie linebacker Miles Burris supplanting Rolando McClain in the nickel defense.
In the first four games, Burris was the linebacker coming off the field whenever the Raiders went with an extra defensive back in their so-called nickel package. McClain became that guy Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
McClain's snaps dropped from 73 against Denver on Sept. 30 to 17 against the Falcons on Sunday.
By comparison, Burris played 27 of the 77 snaps against the Broncos and all 55 against the Falcons.
Allen said he doesn't foresee getting away from this alignment, given how well Burris played against the Falcons.
"Every week, we're going to evaluate and see where we're at, but he did enough to earn the right to be back out there in nickel situations," Allen said.
McClain, a first-round draft pick in 2010, has started 34 of 37 games and arrived as the projected linchpin of the Raiders defense.
In Burris, Allen sees a young player who gets better each game.
"He's not a repeat mistake offender," Allen said. "He makes the corrections, understands football and concepts and makes adjustments."
In the postgame locker room, McClain was relatively pleased with how the defense performed.
"We played pretty good this week," McClain said. "We were locked in, had a very good week of practice, coming off the bye week. But they're a good team, and they made the plays they needed at the times they needed them."
"We, as players, have to be smarter because we could have played certain things a little differently," Huff said. "The calls were fine. He still had to kick a 55-yard field goal. It wasn't a chip shot."
McFadden had 70 yards on 21 carries and has 271 yards and a 3.2 average through five games. He had 519 yards on 91 attempts (5.7) through the first five games last season.
The Raiders have a 21-day window to take a look at Curry and decide how to proceed. The Raiders can activate Curry at any time during that period. When that window ends, Curry has to activated, released or placed on injured reserve.
Carter assisted on only one tackle in his first game since joining the Raiders on Sept. 26.
"It was a steppingstone," Carter said. "I was just very happy to be back. (I) did some good things and some things I've got to learn from."
Heyward-Bey played the most snaps of Oakland 's five receivers against the Falcons, but he didn't have any receptions. His contributions were limited to blocking and running 20 yards with a reverse.

I'm trying to develop a plugin to control/stream from an HDHomeRun device. After abandoning an attempt to extend MencoderWebVideo to play the UDP stream from the device, I've decided to try and create my own engine, and I just need some help with how this all works together.
The device comes with a commandline program to configure and work with it, including the ability to pipe the stream (MPEG2 video, AC3 over an MPEGTS stream, so it shouldn't need transcoding) directly to stdout. For clarity, a sample instance would be "hdhomerun_config <deviceid> save /tuner# -"
So I created my external Plugin, extended Player with all the needed members overridden, and it's able to register the player, identify the name, etc, and it shows up in the PMS gui. I'm following VideoLanVideoStreaming as its seems closest to what I'm trying to, and is the most clear (ie, least amount of flags and options)
launchTranscode and its associated pipes and processwrappers is what I need some help with.
So I create a new PipeProcess with a name of my choosing (looks like the convention is the name of the engine + epoch time or whatever Java's currentTimeMilliseconds returns) and start the pipe.
So then assign the first element of array attribute input_pipes of the OutputParams argument of launchTranscode (input_pipes[0]) to the pipe I just created.
Question 1: Looks like OutputParams allocates 2 input_pipes. Is this for Encoders that need a separate audio and video pipe?
Then I build up the command list to start the "encoding" executable and add the arguments that I need to it.
Then I pass this command list as a string array into finalizeTranscoderArgs, where it returns itself?
Question 2: Still not sure of the purpose of the finalizeTranscoderArgs function. It would seem to be legacy, as none of the built in encoders, nor indeed really anything, implements FinalizeTranscoderArgsListener
So then I use a ProcessWrapperImpl to actually start my transcoder, and attach my PipeProcess to it.
Question 3: So my process is running and sending its output to the pipe I created. Is ProcessWrapperImpl grabbing the output from the pipe and sending it the PS3? From the looks of it, and how the device program works, I'll need to set keepStdOut to true to capture the stream?
Appreciate any input on this. Thank you.

Plan B May Be to Clean Up Cliff Mess in January
Seems sort of late to be bringing up Plan B's, doesn't it?
Stocks are still in rally mode, as the market is reading all the signs around the fiscal-cliff negotiations as a sign that a deal is close. Indeed, both sides have been making concessions that seem dramatic (and may be a hard-sell for the respective bases).
But then this morning we start getting all this talk from House Speaker John Boehner about a Plan B, a signal that there are still serious sticking points to this whole thing that could see D.C. blow right past the Dec. 31 deadline.
From the Journal story:
House Speaker John Boehner has decided to develop a backup plan to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, a strategy for averting a year-end tax increase if his negotiations with President Barack Obama break down.
The aide said the legislation was designed to be a "precautionary measure to ensure taxes don't rise for most Americans on Jan. 1."
Part of Boehner's Plan B would see tax cuts extended for everybody making under $1 million a year. The White House came back and rejected that proposal.
But the sides are inching closer. Just overnight, we saw President Obama up his salary range for tax increases to $400,000 from $250,000, a major concession. Boehner has already more or less agreed to tax increases, and while the exact number is being negotiated, even that is getting closer. So why this Plan B gambit?
Part of it may be negotiating tactic. Boehner's Plan B, in fact, may turn into "Plan Q or R before it's all over," WSJ's Damian Paletta said this morning on the Markets Hub. Rather than point and counterpoint, he said, "I'd characterize this as bluff and counter bluff." The two sides are getting much closer, but as they get closer to a deal, the pressure is rising — both to get something done and from party members who don't want to give up too much.
There may not be a vote this week, Paletta said, and there's still a chance the whole thing could fall apart as there remain too many disagreements to get something done this year. Indeed, Washington could miss the Dec. 31 and have to "clean up the mess" in January.
There are still two "major" sticking points to the cliff talks, BTIG's Dan Greenhaus points out: the debt ceiling and raising the eligibility age for Medicare. There's also questions about whether Obama or Boehner can sell any deal to their respective parties.
You can bet your bottom dollar, Annie, that tomorrow we'll still be stuck in this mire. These guys seem determined to work this thing down to the wire, if not past that.

Robert L. Caret, president of UMass, and Paul Guzzi, president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, have written an op-ed in the Capitol Hill newspaper, The Hill.
Written off as dead, real immigration reform is back on the agenda in Washington—good news for American universities, American businesses and all of us who want to accelerate our slow economic recovery.
President Obama reaffirmed his commitment to immigration reform in his State of the Union address– and Republican leaders have expressed a willingness to work toward a successful bill. It may be that leaders of both parties have heard a loud and clear call over the last few months from business and higher education that we need the energy and intellect that constructive immigration reform can unleash if we are to remain competitive in the world economy.

Beheaded on Tower Hill, London, on July 6, 1535, he steadfastly refused to approve Henry VIII's divorce and remarriage and establishment of the Church of England.
Described as "a man for all seasons," More was a literary scholar, eminent lawyer, gentleman, father of four children and chancellor of England. An intensely spiritual man, he would not support the king's divorce from Catherine of Aragon in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Nor would he acknowledge Henry as supreme head of the Church in England, breaking with Rome and denying the pope as head.
More was committed to the Tower of London to await trial for treason: not swearing to the Act of Succession and the Oath of Supremacy. Upon conviction, More declared he had all the councils of Christendom and not just the council of one realm to support him in the decision of his conscience.
When the executioner offered to blindfold him, More said that he would do this himself. But after he had stretched his head over the low block—it was merely a log of wood—he made a signal to the man to wait a moment. Then he made his last joke: His beard was lying on the block and he would like to remove it. At least that had committed no treason. The heavy axe went slowly up, hung a moment in the air and fell.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Senior Matt Holland (Phillies) and junior Todd Simko (Nationals) of the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball team have signed agreements with their respective Major League Baseball organizations. Simko will forgo his final year of college eligibility in order to move on to the professional ranks.
"We're obviously sad to see Todd go," head coach Scott Malone said, "but we couldn't be more excited for both of these players to start their professional careers. Matt and Todd are both great young men in addition to being outstanding players, and we are looking forward to seeing both of them spend a long time as professional baseball players."
Both players will report to the Gulf Coast League, a rookie organization based in Florida that has its season run from mid-June through August. Simko heads to the GCL Nationals, who play their home games in Viera at Space Coast Stadium. Holland heads for the GCL Phillies, based in Clearwater.
Simko set a school record with 10 wins in his debut season for Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, going 10-6 with a 4.31 ERA and a .249 batting average against. The Arroyo Grande, Calif., native was named to the Southland Conference All-Tournament Team after delivering a complete-game three-hitter against Lamar, in which the only run he surrendered was unearned.
The southpaw was spectacular down the stretch, posting a 1.99 ERA over his final seven appearances. In that period, he went 5-0 and surrendered just 25 hits in 45 1/3 innings of work. He delivered all three of his complete games during that string, and punched out 30 opposing batters.
Just two years removed from an arm injury that ended his career as a pitcher, Holland worked hard in the weight room to bulk up to 210 pounds heading into his senior season, and the results were palpable. The Watkins, Iowa, native slugged 10 home runs, the eighth different player in school history to do so, and matched the school record with 20 doubles. His 149 total bases set a new school mark as well.
A First Team All-Southland Conference honoree, Holland was second in the league with his .391 average and 93 hits, while his 53 RBI were sixth in the conference. His .626 slugging percentage was the second highest of all Southland players and he finished seventh in the league with a .445 on-base percentage. He also scored 44 runs, stole seven bases, and posted a 16-game hitting streak at the end of the season.

Propranolol for Behavior Challenges: Not Yet Ready for Widespread Use
Posted by Autism Treatment Network Medical Director Dan Coury, MD
Considerable community and scientific interest has been raised by recent reports that the beta-blocker propranolol improved word use in adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is important to emphasize that this small study does not provide sufficient evidence of effectiveness or safety to support this use of the drug, which is FDA approved to treat high blood pressure. Although we share excitement in seeing medicines evaluated in bona fide clinical studies, families should be strongly cautioned against over-interpreting media reports as endorsement to pursue this treatment for their loved ones–until larger studies show it is safe and effective.
First and foremost, treatment of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) should include a combination of behavioral and educational interventions. Many children, adolescents, and adults with ASDs also need treatment of associated medical or psychiatric conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, asthma, anxiety, and symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
While we have strong evidence that our behavioral treatments provide benefit, we need more research on identifying medicines that can help relieve the core symptoms of ASDs and associated behavior challenges. Interest in propranolol began over 20 years ago, with a small study (involving eight adults with autism) that suggested the drug could reduce problematic aggression. In addition, the researchers noted subtle improvements in language and social behavior. They wondered whether this might be related to the known ability of beta-blockers to reduce the symptoms of so-called overarousal. For instance, some musicians and public speakers will take a beta-blocker immediately before a performance to reduce shakiness from stage anxiety.
The authors of that first study called for further research. And the gauntlet was picked up by David Beversdorf, MD, and his associates at the University of Missouri, one of Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network (ATN) sites. Their latest report enrolled 14 high functioning teens and adults with autism, all of whom used spoken language. They found that, when taking the medicine, some of the individuals used more words over a given period of time. That is, they had greater "word fluency." On average, the participants showed 25 percent greater word fluency. However, some of the participants spoke fewer words while taking the medication.
What does this mean? These early studies are too small and too limited in their evidence of benefit for us to recommend that adolescents and adults with ASD begin taking this medicine. We know even less about the safety and effectiveness of beta-blocker medications in younger children. As the authors state, further study is needed to confirm both safety and benefits among a wide range of persons with ASD. And if these benefits are confirmed, we need to find ways to identify which people will respond positively to the medication and which will not. Certainly this is not a medication we want to be administering to everyone on the autism spectrum.
These early studies encourage us to pursue further research with propranolol, as we are doing with an increasing number of other medicines that could potentially help relieve the core symptoms of autism–including repetitive behaviors and impaired communication and social behavior. This exciting and encouraging research includes our study of the biological effects and behavioral benefits of both already approved medications and newly developed compounds.
Meanwhile, we have two FDA-approved medications for treating autism-related irritability that includes aggressive behavior and tantrums. They are risperidone and aripiprazole, both of which influence brain levels of the biochemical serotonin. Newer studies are looking at alternative medicines that affect other brain pathways. Early animal research with these compounds has been promising, and studies are now underway in people.
Bottom line: Studies such as Dr. Beversdorf's are helping us better understand brain function in persons with ASD. This and related studies will ultimately lead us to new treatments and better outcomes. Until then, please stay tuned.

Church to host communitywide Black History Month celebration

Thibodaux is hosting its first city-wide Black History Month event, and everyone's invited.
The Friday event begins at 7 p.m. Friday at Thibodaux High School, and will include a speech by East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Kip Holden and performances by a church choir and dance team, said the Rev. Nelson Dan Taylor Sr., pastor of Allen Chapel AME Church of Thibodaux.
Taylor organized the event, and he said he hopes to see everyone come to celebrate "the accomplishments of our own local black heroes who helped us thus far on our journey to overcome."
"The history of the African-American community is a continuing and evolving part of the history of the American people, a living testimony of our determination to be one nation under God with liberty and justice for all," Taylor said.
The choir from The New Vision Christian Community Church in Raceland will perform, as well as the dance team from Magnolia United Methodist Church in Thibodaux, Taylor said.
The theme is "From Slavery to Freedom, a Continuing Triumph of American History."

Disclaimer: The prices listed in the various NGC Price and Value Guides are compiled from a number of independent, third party sources in the numismatic community which NGC believes to be reliable. Prices provided are averages, not specific prices for individual coins. Further, because these prices are only updated from time to time, they do not reflect short term pricing trends, which are quite common and are often quite dramatic, given the volatile nature of the collectible coin marketplace. This is especially true for rare coins, where there are fewer sales and greater variations in sale prices. For all of these reasons, the prices in these guides are designed to serve merely as one of many measures and factors that coin buyers and sellers can use in determining coin values. These prices are not intended, and should not be relied upon, to replace the due diligence and — when appropriate — expert consultation that coin buyers and sellers should undertake when entering into a coin transaction. As such, NGC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information contained in the NGC Guides. By using the NGC Guides, the user agrees that neither NGC nor any of its affiliates, shareholders, officers, employees or agents shall have any liability for any loss or damage of any kind, including without limitation any loss arising from reliance on the information contained in the Guides.
Note: Retail prices for collectible coins can vary between dealers — sometimes significantly — based on a number of factors, including short-term pricing trends, eye appeal, trading frequency, special characteristics, market availability, demand and precious metal spot prices.

Commenter Aikage returns to Speak Up on Kotaku for the second time in as many days, wondering if you every iamgine where life would have taken you if not for all of that time spent gaming.
Do you ever regret gaming?
Especially in high school and college I feel I may have missed out on some things because I was busy playing DOTA (Defense of the Ancients). There would be parties I wouldn't attend partly because I'm not a drinker and partly because I wanted to stay home and play DOTA until 2am. I can't help but think if I had forced myself to go to those parties I may have become more social. Currently I really don't know how to act in social situations (although my wife assures me that few people do).
Then when I got married there was a period of time where my wife and I would game together. At first I thought it was great but then I started to wonder if maybe we could be doing other things together such as...well... talking or riding our bikes together.
Nowadays I've cut back a little. I don't think that gaming is the root of all evil at all and think that it can be incredibly beneficial and relaxing/enjoyable for just about anyone. I'm just wondering if for anyone else, they regret gaming at some point in their lives.
