Think about this:
Every 20 minutes in the state of Georgia, someone's diagnosed with cancer. In South Carolina it's one every 30 minutes.
And in Georgia, every 40 minutes, someone dies of cancer. It's one every hour in South Carolina.
That's the reason for the new Cancer Research Center at MCG.
The research center will bring breakthroughs in cancer study from the research bench to the bedside.
On News 12 at 6 O'clock on Wednesday, our viewers got the tour before anyone else.
While workers are still putting the finishing touches on the Cancer Research Center at MCG, what they're working on symbolizes that the there really is no ceiling on what can be discovered here.
"Over 80% of the cancers in GA are breast, prostate, lung and colon--and if we could make major strides in these cancers we could affect 1/2 of those cancer mortalities," says MCG President Dr. Dan Rahn.
Meaning thousands of people would not have to die of cancer in Georgia…and instead could get cutting edge treatments right here at MCG.
And strides will also be made in treating infectious diseases like AIDS...something Andrew Mellor is working on.
"It's fabulous…but during our 10 years here this is a big difference," says Dr. Andrew Mellow, a molecular geneticist at MCG. "We were in a closed lab or facility, compare that to what you can see is a completely open facility."
And it is open by design.
"There is an intellectual reality, ideas come out, people share creativity, if people can see each other," Dr. Rahn says.
Research benches extend as far as the eye can see on the fourth floor, providing space for 70 to 80 people to work.
And that's just one of 4 floors that will be filled eventually.
Two floors are being left unfinished until MCG hires a director--he or she will decide how to customize them for the researchers they bring in.
And although MCG fully expects this building to be the centerpiece for new discoveries, they acknowledge this:
"It's not the building itself--it's the most obvious and concrete example of the progress, but buildings are not the point--it's the research that goes on here," says Dr. Rahn.
The Cancer Research Center opens later this month.
The researchers moving in right away are all funded by grants from organizations like the National Institute of Health.
They expect to have the building filled within the next several years.

STOCKTON - A Stockton car salesman became a carjacking victim when he went out on a test drive with a potential customer about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
During the test drive, the carjacker stopped the vehicle, reached under his shirt as though he had a weapon and pushed the victim out of the car near French Camp and Manthey roads, police said. He then took the vehicle and fled south on Interstate 5 from Manthey Road, authorities said.
The carjacker was described as a black man in his mid- to late 20s standing 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin build, a dark complexion, a black baseball cap and a white shirt.

Innovation and the Role of Social Media
By Brian Dirking on Jun 17, 2011
A very interesting post by Andy Mulholland of CAP Gemini this week – "The CIO is trapped between the CEO wanting innovation and the CFO needing compliance" – had many interesting points:
"A successful move in one area won't be recognized and rapidly implemented in other areas to multiply the benefits, or worse unsuccessful ideas will get repeated adding to the cost and time wasted. That's where the need to really address the combination of social networking, collaboration, knowledge management and business information is required."
Without communicating what works and what doesn't, the innovations of our organization may be lost, and the failures repeated. That makes sense.
If you liked Andy Mulholland's blog post, you need to hear Howard Beader's presentation at Enterprise 2.0 Conference on innovation and the role of social media. (Howard will be speaking in the Market Leaders Session at 1 PM on Wednesday June 22nd). Some of the thoughts Howard will share include:
• Innovation is more than just ideas, it's getting ideas to market, and removing the obstacles that stand in the way
• Innovation is about parallel processing – you can't remove the obstacles one by one because you will get to market too late
• Innovation can be about product innovation, but it can also be about process innovation
This brings us to Andy's second issue he raises:
"..the need for integration with, and visibility of, processes to understand exactly how the enterprise functions and delivers on its policies…"
Andy goes on to talk about this from the perspective of compliance and the CFO's concerns. And it's true: innovation can come both in product innovation, but also internal process innovation. And process innovation can have as much impact as product innovation. New supply chain models can disrupt an industry overnight. Many people ignore process innovation as a benefit of social business, because it is perceived as a bottom line rather than top line impact. But it can actually impact your top line by changing your entire business model.
Oracle WebCenter sits at this crossroads between product innovation and process innovation, enabling you to drive go-to-market innovations through internal social media tools, removing obstacles in parallel, and also providing you deep insight into your processes so you can identify bottlenecks and realize whole new ways of doing business. Learn more about how at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, where Oracle will be in booth #213 showing Oracle WebCenter and Oracle Fusion Applications.

Tube was fine. Happiness is a warm gun was stellar. The closest I can hope to a Pumped Up Kicks this tour. Mike's ensemble was excellent placement. Tight as ever. Haley's 'til the end was a good tight first set that we had fun karaoke to all evening long in the comfort of our own theater.
CDT >Golden Age was tight. Wolfman's>Joe Walsh was ehh. Bug came with a wonderful glimpse into the band's speechless back stage communication techniques. Love Bug. Fluffhead was intricately phenominal (Thanks for re-learning how to play it, Trey). Wedge>Antelope= favorite part of the night. There was a bridge in the Antelope that was smooth as sunshine; one for your charts. Zero has continued to amaze me this tour. Every time I see it, it gets better and better. Great placement. Fun show!

Most Expect Stock Turmoil to Pass
Get used to it.
A spate of bumpy, uncertain trading has knocked the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 5.3% from its Dec. 31 record. The market trouble is threatening to hang around for a while, many money managers say. The big question is how much worse it could get.
The widespread belief is, not much.
Still, some who were more bullish last year have turned less sanguine this year. They think the world economy is so intertwined that the economic trouble plaguing developing countries will eventually hurt the U.S., Europe and Japan as well. If signs emerge to support that view, markets could have farther to fall.
"The contagion risk is rising," said David Kotok, president of Cumberland Advisors, which manages about $2 billion in Sarasota, Fla., and he doesn't just mean contagion to other developing countries.
"The U.S. has a risk of economic weakening, and European growth is already near zero," he said.
So far, few professional investors seem to share those fears. They view the current pullback as a natural occurrence, the kind of passing storm that can hit every year or so. Since the Dow hasn't fallen 10% since the middle of 2011, a drop of that size is overdue, they say. Some are even talking about a 15% or 20% decline without sounding too upset, because they think it will be over in a few months and stocks will finish the year with gains. And, they point out, stocks gained more than that last year alone, when the Dow was up 26.5%.
These people generally believe the U.S. economy has cut costs and made other adjustments that will let it keep rebounding, even as developing countries suffer because they aren't prepared yet for a world with softer demand for their commodities, components and other exports. These money managers often are urging clients to ignore the storm or even buy more U.S. stocks when prices fall.
"Maybe I'm going to give back some of the money I made last year, but as a long-term investor I'm not too worried," said Rex Macey, chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, which oversees about $20 billion.
"If markets go up continually you get bubbles," he said. "You need occasional weakness to shake people up."
Mr. Macey and colleagues discussed these issues Friday and decided they are comfortable with their large exposure to U.S. stocks, with relatively light exposure to bonds and developing-country stocks. The one change they are making is to further trim exposure to longer-term U.S. bonds.
Treasury-bond prices have risen as investors run to them for safety. Mr. Macey figures this is a temporary gain, offering a window to sell some more. With the Federal Reserve gradually reducing financial stimulus, many investors think interest rates will be higher on future bonds, meaning prices of existing bonds will decline.
That kind of optimism about stocks helps explain why the January selloff was 5% rather than 10%. Unfortunately, however, some people have turned less bullish. The concerns of people like Mr. Kotok of Cumberland Advisors help explain why the selling could continue.
Mr. Kotok compares the current trouble to 1997, when a currency crisis in Thailand set off broad stock-market declines in developing countries. Then as now, many developing countries had tolerated deficits and lending excesses too long and needed to make basic changes to become competitive again in a changing global economy.
The turmoil hit a peak when Russia defaulted on its debt in August 1998 and a huge U.S. hedge fund called Long Term Capital Management collapsed after losing billions in the bond market. The Fed had to intervene to stabilize markets.
So Mr. Kotok has done the opposite of Mr. Macey. Mr. Kotok has sold a big position he held in small U.S. stocks, which had risen strongly last year.
His typical client portfolio now holds only about 50% stocks, down from 80% a little over a year ago. The other half is various kinds of high-grade credits, notably municipal bonds. And a lot of his stock accounts aren't fully invested; some have big cash positions he is reluctant to put to work.
"My stock exposure in a balanced account is probably the lowest it has been in several years," he said.
What would make him buy stocks again? Some sign that developing-country finances are stabilizing.
"I need to see some volatility decline in foreign-exchange markets and I don't see it yet," he said.
Jerry Harris, chief market strategist at Sterne Agee Asset Management, which oversees about $1.5 billion in Birmingham, Ala., agrees that developing countries are in trouble. But he agrees with Mr. Macey that strong U.S. growth will eventually push U.S. stocks higher.
"We are going to see some selloffs and some drastic recoveries for a few weeks," he said. "I don't think we will get a whole lot of traction till we get better things going on in emerging markets," Mr. Harris added. But he is telling clients to treat declines as a chance to buy, not sell.
The reason is that many of his clients have been wary of stocks since the financial crisis and don't have as big a stock position as Mr. Harris would recommend.
"If your long-term allocation is 50% stocks, we have recommended that people be at 60% stocks," Mr. Harris said. "If you are already there, just hold on to it. Don't be too nervous about this market."
If people keep thinking like Mr. Harris and Mr. Macey, U.S. stocks will stabilize. If more start thinking like Mr. Kotok, stocks could fall harder.

Volume 7 Number 16 Moon of Continuous Snow December 15, 1977 Four Candidates are out — No . . . They're in ! Dixon: Election time is usually confusing, and this year was no exception to the rule. 28 candidates have filed and after some discussion on the residency of four of them, all 28 have been certified by the Tribal Election Comm. The four candidates who were briefly disqualified were: Lytle Gillin and Joe McDonald - Ronan district; and St. Ignatius district, James Morigeau and Harold Mitchell, Jr. All four had questionable residency, however, the Election Committee requested a legal opinion from D.C. attorney Richard Baenen, and were advised to certify three, ( McDonald, Mitchell and Morigeau ), and to hold a hearing on the fourth, Gillin. Mr. Gillin provided a sworn affidavit from a witness as to his residency since December 17, 1976. Each candidate who applies must have physically resided not only on the reservation, but also within the district he is running for, for one year preceeding the election date of December 17, 1977. This means from Dec. 17, 1976 to Dec. 17, 1977. Several members of the Election Committee feel their first decision was the correct one, however, said that they felt the attorney was better informed on the legal aspects of disqualification. So now, confused or not, the final decision is left up to you on election day. T.V. XMAS PROGRAM The Tribe will be sponsoring an all tribal Christmas program to be televised again this year. Johnny Arlee, a spokesman for the Indian Choir, told the Char-Koosta that this year's program will be taped at the St. Ignatius Catholic Mission church rather than in the studio in Kalispell. Filming will take place the evening of December 20, and the 30 minute program will be aired Thursday, December 22, at 7:00 in the evening. The program will be shown in Kalispell on KTVM, 6, and in Missoula on KGVO, 13. Johnny said that the choir needs more participation from everyone throughout the reservation, so if you would like to be a TV star the choir practices every Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the St. Ignatius church rectory. There will also be a Christmas eve program of Indian music on the local radio station, KERR, in Poison. Time had not been set. A NOTE OF EXPLANATION In the last issue of the Char-Koosta there appeared an article on the Per-capita payment for December. The Char-Koosta headlined the article: XMAS PERCAPITA, which was not how the per capita resolution adopted by the Tribal Council designated December's payment. Some members are confused as to the percapita holds being held out against one designated Christmas percapita. We apologize for the confusion. We headlined the article XMAS PER-Capita only because it is to be out before the Christmas holidays. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and we are very sorry for the confustion. Your Char-Koosta Staff WAR DANCE and JUMP DANCE St. Ignatius Community Center on December 31, 1977, New Year's Eve War Dance at 8 :00 p.m. Traditional shake hands song to bring in the New Year at 12:00 midnight. There will be a pot luck midnight meal, and following the dinner the traditional prayerful jump dance. Everyone is welcome to share in this important and ceremonial evening. Due to the New Year's Eve war dance and jump dance, the first Sunday Indian Mass will be cancelled until the following Sunday, Jan. 8, 1978, at 12:00 noon.

Probably the most comfortable shoes I have had. Especially since my current needs are for flatter feet and bunions. Plenty of cushion yet lightweight shoe. The toebox is roomier than most other shoes. If you have had difficulity finding a comfortable shoe and have bunions, try these!

Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Integrity ST2 Walking Shoe:
i wear these shoes to kick around in everyday as well as to walk city streets when traveling. They're simply the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn -- perfect for my narrow foot in need of medium arch support. I also love the generous toe box, light weight, and dirability of their top leather construction. I ordered them a full size larger than nonathletic shoes I wear, and I jazzed them up with bright curly laces.

A Medford police officer responding to a New Year's Eve noise complaint found 150 teens at a large house party in the 300 block of Murphy Road where people were drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.
Medford police Lt. Mike Budreau said that when an officer went to check out the complaint at 10:55 p.m. Monday, he saw about 50 juveniles running from the house, climbing over fences and going through neighboring yards.
The revelers had covered glass in a front door with black plastic, and when two officers went inside the home they found about 100 young people hiding throughout the residence, Budreau said.
An 18-year-old woman who lives in the house told police that she and her brother were hosting the party.
Blair Ellen Shanklin-Rice, 18, was cited on a charge of furnishing alcohol to a minor. Her brother, Nicholas Robert Shanklin, 20, was cited and released on a charge of furnishing alcohol to a minor.
Five of the minors, who ranged in age from 16 to 20, were cited for being in possession of alcohol.
Officers spent most of their time and energy getting the teens released to responsible adults, said Budreau.
"It's good that they were caught at 10. Who's to say what would have happened at 1 a.m.? It could be a recipe for disaster," Budreau said.
A significant amount of alcohol was seized, as well as some marijuana, he said.
"Minors in fatal car accidents — or sexual assaults involving minors — can often be traced back to some incident involving alcohol," Budreau said.
"Kids who are that young don't know how alcohol is going to affect their system."
In a news release, Medford police reminded people that state law prohibits providing alcohol to minors or providing a place for minors to consume alcohol. The crime carries a mandatory penalty of at least 30 days imprisonment for the third conviction.

Middle English (in the sense 'splash water about'): probably imitative; compare with flush1 and splash.
We think of flash in terms of fire and light, but in the Middle Ages it originally meant 'splash water about', and like plash (early 16th century) and splash (mid 18th century) probably came from the sound of the word. The association with fire may have developed from the resemblance of the word to flame ( see flagrant). The idea of 'ostentatious stylishness or display of wealth' goes back to the 17th century. When calling a sudden, brief success a flash in the pan we are referring to early firearms. Sometimes the gunpowder would burn fiercely but ineffectually in the 'pan', the part that held the priming charge, without igniting the main charge. The result was a flash and some smoke, but the gun did not fire—what Shakespeare in Macbeth called 'sound and fury signifying nothing'.

12-12-03 - Just in time for Christmas, one of Gainesville's largest manufacturers is closing their doors. 80 employees at the Valenite plant learned Wednesday that they will be out of a job come next March.
After almost thirty years in the community, the company is consolidating operations to their South Carolina plant.
They've been downsizing for years, going from 200 employees to the 80 there today. But Gainesville city leaders say it wasn't an easy decision and Valenite is doing everything they can to help employees with the transition, including offering severance packages.
Gainesville economic developers say they've already had some interested buyers for the Valenite plant, which they call prime manufacturing space.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Historically, Jim Harbaugh has been a connoisseur of trick plays, so it wasn't entirely surprising that he had praise for the fake punts that helped the St. Louis Rams forge a 24-24 overtime tie with the 49ers on Sunday.
What was surprising, though, is that Harbaugh knew from his Stanford days that Rams punter Johnny Hekker was capable of throwing the ball and yet the 49ers were totally unprepared for two Hekker completions for first downs out of punt formation.
"That punter was a quarterback at Oregon State, and we were well aware that he could throw the ball pretty darn good," Harbaugh said. "He ran the scout team at Oregon State. That was good execution on their part."
Hekker threw for a first down near the end of the second quarter even though the Rams were backed up near their own end zone. It did little more than keep the 49ers from getting the ball back one last time before halftime.
But Hekker's second fake punt throw, which allowed St. Louis to sustain an 81-yard fourth-quarter touchdown drive after the 49ers had just taken a 21-17 lead, was one of the biggest plays of the game and particularly damaging to the hosts.
San Francisco's defense had stopped the Rams at their own 33 on a third-and-8 play, and St. Louis set up in punt formation with 5:23 left in regulation. But after receiving the long snap, Hekker pulled up and found tight end Lance Kendricks wide open in the left flat for a 19-yard gain and a first down at the 49ers' 48.
"We've been practicing that one for a while," said Hekker. "It was genius brainchild of Coach (Jeff) Fisher and (special teams coach) John Fassel. It worked just as we drew it up in practice."
"I felt like that was a play we needed, and it kept the drive alive," Fisher said.
Indeed, with fresh life, the Rams drove the rest of the way to take a 24-21 lead with 1:09 left, and the 49ers had to scramble just to force overtime on David Akers' 33-yard field goal with 3 seconds to go.
"That was huge," said Rams quarterback Sam Bradford of the second fake punt. "Cig (quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti) came and grabbed me right after we came off the field and said, 'We've got a fake punt. Get ready to go back out on the field.' Johnny did a great job executing it. He was 2 for 2 on fakes today -- it was awesome."
So who was supposed to cover Kendricks? Good question. Harbaugh didn't have an answer, and neither did any 49ers special teams defenders.
"Tough break to get that done on us," Harbaugh said. "But tip your hat to them."
"I don't really know what went wrong, and who was supposed to have who," said 49ers special teams safety Darcel McBath. "Obviously, that's something we have to get better at."
McBath, who moments earlier had teamed with reserve cornerback Tramaine Brock on a special teams turnover that resulted in the 49ers' go-ahead touchdown, maintained the special teams unit had been briefed on Hekker's throwing capabilities this week but simply didn't react or execute in that particular situation.
"It was a surprise," said McBath, who said he had responsibility to watch the fullback on the punt. "They did gutsy things to try and win the game, so hats off to them. We'll be more prepared next time."
Earlier in the fourth quarter, McBath and Brock combined on a play that looked like it might spur the 49ers to a comeback victory. After the 49ers had pulled within 17-14 on a Colin Kaepernick touchdown run, Rams returner Isaiah Pead was stripped of the ball on the ensuing kickoff by Brock, and McBath scooped up the ball near the right sideline. Frank Gore then scored on a 20-yard sweep to put the 49ers ahead 21-17.
"It was two guys making a good play and getting the ball back," McBath said. "Tramaine got the ball out, and I was just lucky to be there to pick it up."
It turned out to be the best play on an otherwise dour day for special teams. Akers did force OT with his 33-yard field goal, but the Pro Bowler also missed a 41-yarder with 8:07 to go in overtime that would have won it for San Francisco.

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks had just ended the NHL season's longest winning streak at 10 games with a well-deserved 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
Afterward, though, even that was overshadowed by the individual accomplishments along the way.
Logan Couture ended an 11-game goal drought with his first since Dec. 3 and 100th of his NHL career, but it was San Jose's next one that got everybody's attention. At age 32 and in just his eighth regular-season game, career minor leaguer Bracken Kearns scored his first NHL goal.
"It was amazing, absolutely amazing," said Kearns, who was called up from Worcester the previous day to help shore up the Sharks' injury-depleted forward ranks. "It felt so good."
The significance of the moment that Kearns fired in a rebound at 9:16 of the second period to give San Jose a 3-0 lead was not lost on Sharks coach Todd McLellan.
"It's a great story, isn't it?" he said. "It's great for him, but there's also a lesson in it about believing in yourself and persevering."
Brent Burns also scored for San Jose, and Ducks forward Patrick Maroon ruined Antti Niemi's bid for a shutout with 8:28 left in the third period. Niemi did make 30 saves to earn his 21st victory of the season, while Anaheim netminder Frederik Andersen saw his record dip to 9-2.
Kearns spent seven seasons in the minors before playing his first NHL game at age 30 with the Florida Panthers on Oct. 20, 2011. The son of longtime Vancouver Canucks defenseman Dennis Kearns, he was at the right spot at the right time when Andrew Desjardins' wraparound attempt popped in front of the net.
And, yes, Kearns -- who became the oldest player to score his first NHL goal as a Shark -- said his eyes widened in anticipation.
"Big time, big time," he said. "I was coming from the bench. It was just one of those pucks that squirt out like that. Just amazing."
Kearns did play in all seven playoff games against the Los Angeles Kings last spring and said before the game that gave him confidence coming back to San Jose. And he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
San Jose applied pressure right from the start and had three shots on net and two others blocked in the game's first 76 seconds. An instant later, Joe Pavelski fed Burns from behind the net, and his one-timer from the slot gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 1:17.
Then at 10:07, nearly a month of frustration for Couture ended when he got the puck in the neutral zone, turned Anaheim defenseman Francois Beauchemin inside out and lifted a 10-foot backhand over Andersen.
"If I didn't score that, I would have been really upset with myself," said Couture, who acknowledged that scoring 100 goals was a special milestone.
"It's a big number. I was stuck on 99 for a while. ... It will be one I remember."
Not all went well for the Sharks, however, as they had to play most of the game without Tommy Wingels, who suffered an upper-body injury when he was hit by Ducks defenseman Mark Fistric at 1:34 of the first period and returned for only one more shift.
It was the first of two consecutive games between the teams atop the Pacific Division. Anaheim had opened up a seven-point lead over San Jose, but the gap is now five with the Sharks having played two fewer games.
"A huge two games," Joe Thornton said. "They're kind of running away with our division right now, and tonight we kind of grabbed them and brought them back a little bit."
And while there has been speculation that Torres could be back in the lineup after the February Olympic break, he is still not setting any target date for his return.

IQ Scores of Teens May Change Over Time
Oct. 19, 2011 -- A teen's IQ is not set in stone, according to a study published today in Nature. Instead, the standard measure of intelligence -- often used to predict future success -- can fluctuate dramatically.
"The results indicate that an early developer doesn't necessarily continue to excel; and a late developer can catch up. Educators already know this," study researcher Cathy Price, PhD, tells WebMD in an email. "The more relevant point is that, if IQ changes are real (as we claim), they are not measuring a capacity to do well. They are measuring how well the individual is doing at a fixed time."
Price, a professor at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London, and colleagues, tested 33 "healthy and neurologically normal" adolescents aged 12 to 16. Their IQ scores ranged from 77 to 135, with an average score of 112.
Four years later, the same group took another IQ test. While the average score of 113 was only one point greater than the previous test, the range of scores was quite different: 87 to 143. Individually, the results were quite striking, as participants showed as much as an 18-point drop in IQ, while others shot up as high as 21 points.
The researchers also broke down the scores by verbal IQ, a measure of language, arithmetic, general knowledge and memory, and performance IQ, which focuses on visual problem solving. Scores fluctuated by as much as 23 points in verbal IQ and 18 in performance IQ.
"A change in 20 points is a huge difference," Price says. "If an individual moved from an IQ of 110 to an IQ of 130, they move from being 'average' to 'gifted.' And if they moved from 104 to 84, they move from being high average to below average."
Overall, the researchers report, one-fifth of the kids tested moved from one IQ category to another, from average to below average, for example.
Brain Changes
Each of the participants also underwent brain scans -- a combination of functional and structural imaging -- at the time that they were given the IQ tests.

SF: It really didn't really even reflect on me as an artist. there were a few people who knew who I was at the time that came out and they would have seen that and just fuckin' laughed their asses off, it's not like a record label would have seen me and said, "We gotta get this guy" It was more something like a quick flash in your eye, "oh my god was that Sage?" It was dope, I had a fun time. I like being on network television, you know sneaking into my ex-girlfriends houses... I just picture her and her new boyfriend watching tv, and there's my face going, "X-Games!! Arrgghhh!!" And the boyfriend not sure if it's me and the girlfriend definitely sure, and there just looking at the TV...
Quote: "I decided over this break up, why get bitter about all women because of one. So I looked on the bright side and thinked it'd help my career if she left me....fine.
I'm definately a driven man now. I'm driven by this fantasy that one day this girl who I loved more than anyone in the world and I gave my heart to and she said she loved me, then left.
One day this girls gonna be living in a trailer park. Somewhere in Oklahoma. She's gonna have nine naked little kids with rickets that bring home dead animals from the side of the road for them to eat.
She's gonna live with an ex-welder, 600 lbs with fur all over his back. Drinks warm beers, and farts and belches and beats the kids. Watches the Dukes of Hazzards everday. Has to have it explained to him.
One night he's gonna be making love to her and his hearts gonna explode and she's gonna be trapped under 600 lbs of flaccid, fish-belly cellulite, shifting like the tides of the ocean.
As blood, and plegm and bile and a chaw of tobacco pours out of his nose and mouth into her face. Yeah, that's it! Just before she drowns in that chunky puddle of after-birth, she turns to the television and sees me on the Tonight Show."

Not long after mama cougar Linda claimed that ex-husband Hulk should stay away from her based on a completely made-up court order, her young, son-resembling boyfriend has attempted to secure an actual one against the American Gladiators host. Sadly, the 19-year-old Charley Hill's claim that Hulk "pulled up next to him [at a stoplight] and stared at him" was found to be insufficient grounds for issuing a restraining order. Also, the judge found that Hulk's attempt to piledrive Charley, then throw him against the ropes was terribly, terribly fake. [TMZ]

OTTAWA, Minn. – January 9, 2014 – Ducks Unlimited (DU) is the beneficiary of a $40,000 donation from Unimin Corporation to help protect, restore, and enhance habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife in Minnesota. The gift provides merchandise underwriting at select DU fundraising events and invests in shallow lake habitat through the Living Lakes Initiative.
"Unimin operates two Minnesota mining and processing facilities with conservation in mind. Handling natural resources like they do, Unimin has a unique understanding of the positive environmental impact that wetlands hold," said Tim Roble, DU Minnesota state chairman."Their support helps DU enhance waterfowl habitat that at the same time provides clean water and sequesters carbon. Unimin has acted as an environmental steward for quite some time, and we're pleased to begin this meaningful partnership."
Ducks Unlimited has identified the prairie pothole landscape of Minnesota as a level one conservation priority. Plans for wetland acquisitions, enhancements, restorations and engineering survey and design efforts are underway to maximize the impact on this valuable waterfowl habitat. The generous gift from Unimin will help DU leverage nearly $1.5 million in public grants and an additional $400,000 in private funds provided by DU members and philanthropists. These projects will take place on a series of managed shallow lakes and wetlands in Minnesota that provide high-quality aquatic food and other benefits for migrating and breeding waterfowl.
"In the last 40 years, Unimin has reclaimed and preserved more than 1,500 acres of native prairie grassland, wetlands, and river bottoms along the Minnesota River Valley, following mining operations," said Reid Gronski, Unimin Ottawa plant manager. "Ducks Unlimited is a great champion of the outdoors, and partnering with them coincides with our conservation ethic. Minnesota is a diverse landscape and we're excited to engage with DU to enhance and conserve this habitat."

Location: Crop Bioprotection Research
Project Number: 5010-42000-047-01
Start Date: Feb 01, 2011
End Date: Jan 31, 2017
The 4 bmr loci and transgenic over expression of 4 genes involved in monolignol biosynthesis will be used to manipulate lignin. The bmr loci all result in reduced lignin content, but have distinct effects on lignin composition and phenylpropanoid metabolism. The genes encoding enzymes in monolignol biosynthesis at critical branch points will be over expressed, as well as a putative transcriptional regulator of lignin biosythesis. Resistance to fungal pathogens will be assessed in the field and through greenhouse inoculation with fungal isolates containing GFP to examine fungal growth and extent of fungal penetration. Insect feeding studies will be performed using isolated leaves from staged plants at a fixed position. Phenolicin metabolites will be analyzed by GC-MS in lines exhibiting fungal or insect resistance. Global gene expression will be analyzed using a newly developed Agilent sorghum genome microarray.

Luke Manuel is a Falcon once again.
The former West Henderson High three-sport standout, who has been an assistant principal at Hendersonville Middle School since 2008, has been hired as West's new athletic director.
Prior to taking the job at Hendersonville Middle, Manuel was North Henderson's football coach from 2004-2008 and had a record of 15-32. Before that he was an assistant at North for a year under Jeff Bailey and also an assistant at Hendersonville High under B.J. Laughter for three years.
Manuel was a standout in football, baseball and basketball during his high school career. He ended up accepting a scholarship to Appalachian State for football and saw limited time at quarterback before switching to wide receiver his senior year in 2000.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column posing with a big-ass guitar down in the state of Texas.
That there pic is as big as Brewster County.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: Where the h-e-double hockey sticks is Brewster County?
SUMMIT UP: We were afraid you were going to ask us that. Ya see, we stumbled upon this website that has a page full of "More Colorful Texas Sayings Than You Can Shake a Stick at." Let us explain. Ahem. Brewster County is along the border with Mexico. It is one of nine counties that comprise the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas and is also the largest county in Texas. It's over three times the size of the state of Delaware, and more than 500 square miles bigger than Connecticut.
MSUR: Can you please change the subject? Why must you go on about Texas. There'll be plenty of Texans here soon enough. Driving around in big burnt orange Hummers, wearing Stetsons and high heels and complaining about snow on the Breck sidewalks.
SU: You're totally right. The last thing we'll say about the Lone Star State is that we've been to Austin a few times and it seems like a decent enough place. That's all we got.
We out. Counting down to Turkey Day.

Macerich Marketing Midscale Malls For Sale
Mall owner Macerich wants to sell more than hoodies and sneakers this holiday season.
The company, based in Santa Monica, Calif., recently began marketing at least 16 of its 59 U.S. malls for sale as it seeks to prune the bottom half of its portfolio, according to people briefed on the matter.
A Macerich representative declined to comment. But the company's listing of the malls has been a topic of conversation at the International Council of Shopping Centers convention in New York City this week.
Exactly which malls Macerich has put on the block couldn't be determined on Thursday. But two of them are Chesterfield Towne Center in Richmond, Va., and Northridge Mall in Salinas, Calif., these people say. Macerich has enlisted brokerage Eastdil Secured to market most of the malls Jones Lang LaSalle is marketing two of them.
The properties offered mostly are so-called B-grade malls averaging annual sales per square foot of $320 – less than the industry average of $375. If Macerich succeeds in selling most or all of the malls, the sales average of its remaining portfolio will increase from its current $511 per square foot.
Mall owners regularly attempt to prune their portfolios by selling their least lucrative malls, often to private buyers willing to accept lower returns or invest significant money to rehabilitate the properties. And there is recent precedent for a sale of multiple malls.
Earlier this year Westfield Group sold a 90% stake in seven midscale U.S. malls, including the SouthPark mall in Cleveland, to investor Barry Sternlicht's Starwood Capital for $1.05 billion. Also this year, Westfield sold a 45% stake in 11 separate U.S. malls to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for $2.2 billion.
Even so, there might be too many sellers and not enough buyers when it comes to B- and C-grade malls. Ben Yang, an analyst with Evercore Partners in San Francisco, told his firm's clients this week that Macerich intends to put some malls on the block, most of them B properties.
"There are several other B-quality malls that are either on the market or about to hit the market," Mr. Yang said. "I think the buyer pool is bigger than it was several months ago. But I think supply is going to outstrip demand for this type of property, and I think buyers will have the opportunity to cherry pick the assets for sale."
