Without quarterback Sean Farley's arm and tight end Nolan Rookey's field position to counter that of wide receiver Markeith McDonald, the Summit Tigers' offense was stalled in its matchup with Conifer (7-2 overall, 4-1 in 3A Metro-West) on home turf Friday night.
"We had a couple key injuries last night and had to put some things together. We've had problems all year when we've been missing Sean," head coach Dylan Hollingsworth said.
Senior running back Nic Berry stepped into the quarterback position, making spot-on throws to McDonald that went incomplete in a tough defensive environment.
"(Quarterback is) just not his specialty nor has he practiced it all year," Hollingsworth said. "We needed to do what we could to stay in that game. Conifer is a very good team. They're ranked in the top five in the state for a good reason."
Berry also led a running game that made some progress against the Conifer defensive line, but was rampant with fumbles.
Then again, the 17-degree weather at Tiger Stadium made it tough for both teams to hold onto the ball.
"The cold is a mental thing. When the points and the mistakes roll up on you, and the cold, it's easy to hang your head," Hollingsworth said.
The game finished 47-6, with each team scoring once in the second half. It's there that the Tigers stepped up their game, with Ben Sloan, Berry and Duncan Roberts performing well on defense. Roberts appeared to put significant pressure on the Lobos' offense.
The Lobos scored on an interception during the first Tigers possession following halftime. From then on, Summit's defense stalled the Conifer running game - and vice versa, including penalties and fumbles - until Summit seemed to break the barrier, continuing a drive begun in the third quarter to move the ball to the 26-yard line.
There, Berry switched from a running tactic to a series of floating passes to McDonald in the endzone. A pass interference penalty on the first throw moved Summit to the 11-yard line. Berry bobbled the snap, but recovered it, putting the Tigers at third and 12. Berry repeated the throwing play, again with man-on-man defense on McDonald. The pass was nearly intercepted, but McDonald wrestled the pigskin away from the defender as they tumbled to the ground, maintaining possession for the Tigers and putting them at fourth and 12. Going for it, Berry quickly saw defensive pressure but got a pass off to McDonald - which floated past the endzone.
With 30 seconds left in the game, Summit came through with a touchdown throw from Berry to McDonald, putting points on the board and keeping the Tigers from a shutout.
"Markeith was calling for the ball. He wanted an opportunity. Given another opportunity, he made the most of it," Hollingsowrth said.
With the clock running, the Tigers made quick work of moving into a two-point conversion attempt, which failed.
Hollingsworth repeated the triad of problems that have plagued the team from the start of the season as problems Friday night: penalties, turnovers and missed tackles.
Offensively, Hollingsworth pointed out Grant Koch's performance on the line, which he has anchored all year on the right side, allowing the ball to move behind him.
The Tigers are now 2-7 on the season (1-4 3A Metro-West), with wins coming against Battle Mountain and Alameda. Next week, they face Evergreen for the final game of the season.
"They're looking for revenge. We were the only team to beat them in the regular season last year when they went 9-1," Hollingsworth said, adding that he'd bet the Evergreen coach has put a target on the Tigers for his team.
Meanwhile, the junior varsity football team has lost just two games all year, beating Conifer Saturday in overtime.
"For the seniors, this last game is their Super Bowl, their championship. For the younger kids, it's an opportunity to take one more week and get better," Hollingsworth said. "We're really excited about the future, but we want these seniors to finish with a good taste in their mouths."

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Harmonisation of Member States' legislation on designs
The disparity between the levels of legal protection for designs offered by the laws of the Member States has negative repercussions on the working of the internal market. The current directive is therefore aimed at harmonising national legislation on the subject to ensure the free movement of goods incorporating designs and guaranteeing freedom of competition within the European Union.
Directive 98/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 on the legal protection of designs.
This Directive applies to design * rights registered:
- at the Member States' central industrial property offices;
- at the Benelux Office;
- under international agreements which have effect in a Member State.
Conditions of protection
To qualify for protection, a design has to be new and have an individual character.
The Member States protect designs by registering them and conferring exclusive rights on their designers.
Term of protection
The design is protected for one or more periods of five years, with a maximum duration of 25 years. The protection confers on the holder the exclusive right to use the design and to prevent any third party from using it.
Rights conferred by registration
The registration of a design shall confer on its holder the exclusive right to use it and to prevent any unauthorised third party from using it.
Restriction of rights
The rights conferred by a design right do not extend to:
- acts done on a private basis and for non-commercial purposes;
- acts done for experimental purposes;
- acts of reproduction for illustrative or educational purposes;
- equipment on board ships and aircraft registered in another country when these temporarily enter the territory of the Member State concerned;
- importation into the Member State of spare parts and accessories for the purpose of repairing such craft;
- the execution of repairs on such craft.
Also excluded from protection are:
- items incorporated into a product which are not visible during "normal" use of this product;
- the characteristics of a product's appearance which are solely dictated by its technical function;
- the characteristics of a product's appearance which have to be reproduced in order to allow the product to be mechanically connected to, or placed in or around, or in contact with another product;
- equipment on board ships and aircraft which temporarily enter the territory of another Member State;
- spare parts and accessories which are imported into that Member State for the purpose of repairing the aforementioned craft.
- designs which are contrary to public order or public morality.
A design right can be declared invalid, in certain cases defined in the Directive, even after it has lapsed or been surrendered.
Relationship with other forms of protection
If in a Member State, designs are protected by legal provisions concerning unregistered designs, copyright, trade marks, patents and utility models or any other provision, these provisions still apply side by side with the specific legislation on the protection of designs.
Key terms used in the act
- Design: means the appearance of the whole or a part of a product resulting from the features of, in particular, the lines, contours, colours, shape, texture and/or materials of the product itself and/or its ornamentation.
Entry into force
Deadline for transposition in the Member States
Official Journal
Directive 98/71/EC
OJ L 289 of 28.10.1998
Proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2004 amending Directive 98/71/EC on the legal protection of designs [COM(2004) 582 final - Not published in the Official Journal] [adoption: codécision COD/2004/0203 ]. This proposal concerns design protection of spare parts intended to restore the appearance of complex products such as motor vehicles. It aims to complete the Internal Market through the process of liberalisation begun and partially achieved by Directive 98/71/EC.
Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 of 12 December 2001 on Community designs [Official Journal L3 of 5.1.2002]. This Regulation establishes a unified system for obtaining a Community design to which uniform protection is given with uniform effect throughout the internal market. It aims to remove the obstacles and sources of distortion of competition at Community level. It also aims to encourage creativity and innovation by providing reliable and uniform protection throughout the entire territory of the European Union.

The name on the marquee may be familiar, but that doesn't necessarily mean what the audience is going to see is what they know – at least not completely.
When the RVHS cast and crew of "A Christmas Carol," the classic tale written by Charles Dickens, take the stage the story that unfolds in front of the audience may be a bit different than they recall – especially since what is being performed is a musical.
"Many have probably read or seen this production as a one-act or three-act play," said Whitney Hegg, director for the RVHS performance. "The musical version may present a fresh face on the classic story."
Hegg said she selected this production for several reasons, including the fact that it allows for a big cast, and Hegg said she likes to include as many students as possible in the school's productions.
She also said she wanted to present a story that almost every audience member would be familiar with, but added the element of something different in this performance was also an attraction for her.
The play is scheduled to be performed Nov. 8-10 at 7:30 p.m. each night in the PAC.
What follows is the cast list for the 2012 RVHS production:
• Andera Cable as Martha Cratchit and chorus
• Susan Bucholz as Fan and chorus
• Margaret Estum as a Londoner and chorus
• Margaret Fabrizius as Beadle, Scrooge's Mother and chorus
• Tamarah Frank as Gracie Smyth, Sally Anderson and chorus
• Maggie Godfrey as Mrs. Fezziwig and chorus
• Gykayla Gregg as a Londoner and chorus
• Clair Hammerschmidt as Old Hag, Ghost of Christmas Future and chorus
• Megan Kipfer as Tiny Tim and chorus
• Sydney Kranz as Mrs. Cratchit and chorus
• Ashley Merritt as Emily and chorus
• Ellen Munshower as Sandwichboard, Ghost of Christmas Present and chorus
• Anika Pendleton as a Londoner and chorus
• Anna Polak as Mrs. Mops and chorus
• Anella Stewart as Lamplighter, Ghost of Christmas Past and chorus
• Halie Wilhelmi as Jonathan and chorus
• Jacob Angermeyr as Bob Cratchit
• Derek Bebeau as Scrooge
• Aidan Dirlam as a Londoner and chorus
• Bruce Helsper as a Londoner and chorus
• David Helsper as Young Marley, Londoner and chorus
• Brenan Hindermann as a Londoner and horus
Page 2 of 2 - • Jonathan Mertens as Scrooge 8/12, Young Ebenezer
• Josiah Passe as Fred Anderson
• Trevor Prescott as Mr. Fezziwig
• James Schmieg as Marley
• Marshal Quast as Mr. Smythe
The crew includes:
• Stephanie Schefus
• Charli Miller
• Sydney Peyerl
• Eliza Woods

Want to up your cooking game? Hundreds of classes are offered around the Bay, from the new San Francisco Cooking School to Berkeley's Kitchen on Fire and Draeger's Cooking School in Danville, San Mateo and Menlo Park. But a new series of classes just caught our eye -- or perhaps it was just the phrase "From chocolate-covered crickets to soul-satisfying gumbo, you're sure to find something to suit your culinary sensibilities."
You may have guessed that we're referring to the monthly series run by San Francisco's La Cocina, the nonprofit kitchen business incubator. These hands-on classes, which are $80 and include dinner and drinks, run from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at La Cocina, 2948 Folsom St. Whole Foods is underwriting the classes, which means all the proceeds go to a program that helps low-income and immigrant entrepreneurs become self-sufficient by starting or expanding food businesses.
Now they're sharing their culinary know-how, too, with a "Valentine's Day Sweets" class Feb. 13 taught by chocolatiers Christine Doerr of Neo Cocoa and Cristina Arantes from Kika's Treats and baker Elvia Buendia from La Luna Cupcakes.
Malaysian and Nepalese cuisine takes the spotlight March 20, followed by a "Soul Food Soiree" on April 17. Those crickets? That's Oct. 30 during a Halloween-inspired, edible insects class taught by Monica Martinez from Don Bugito.

ASHLAND — State police, fish biologists and Ashland city officials are investigating an apparent fish-kill in lower Ashland Creek along and downstream of the city's Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Ashland Director of Public Works Mike Faught said an unspecified number of fish he could not identify were found in that reach of the creek.
The plant discharges treated effluent into Ashland Creek and it was not known late Monday whether the die-off was caused by effluent released from the plant or some other source.
Faught said there were no change to dissolved oxygen levels in the plant's discharge, and there were no signs of toxic poisoning within the plant's treatment regimen.
Changes in dissolved oxygen or toxic poisoning are two common causes for some fish kills.
The dead fish apparently were discovered by a private citizen who notified Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists in Central Point, Faught said. ODFW officials called city public works crews and an investigation was launched, he said.
Ashland Creek is a Bear Creek tributary that flows through Ashland's Lithia Park and portions of city neighborhoods before reaching the treatment plant area close to its confluence with Bear Creek.

Husa President Park, Brussels, Belgium
Software Defined Radio is the future of military and tactical communications. That is if the current technological problems it faces can be overcome. As costs for SDR programmes such as JTRS spiral out of all estimation, Software Defined Radio 2013 will ask how we can overcome the capability gaps required in order to achieve a networked battlefield communication system.
While $4 billion was spent on SDR programmes last year, many of these developments have largely occured within the commercial public safety domain as military programmes are still faced by many issues. With these challenges standing in the way of a truly interconnected and interoperable battle network, militaries still have questions that need answering.
This event promises to be a must-attend for anybody concerned with the future of SDR. View the full agenda now to see who you will be meeting in Brussels this December.

Monday, August 02, 2010 - The Milwaukee Iron (11-5) clinched the Midwest Division title and will be facing off against the Chicago Rush in a first-round home National Conference semifinal playoff game at 7 p.m. Saturday at the U.S. Cellular Arena. The matchup was decided when the Iowa Barnstormers tookdown the Arizona Rattlers 67-47 on Friday. With the Arizona loss, the Rattlers and the Rush have matching records at 10-6 but due to tiebreaking procedures by the league, Chicago earned the No. 3 seed in the National Conference, while leaving the Rattlers at No. 4.
As the No. 2 seed, the Iron will battle the No. 3 seed Chicago, while Arizona travels to Spokane to take on the No. 1 seeded Spokane Shock (13-3).
During the regular season, the Iron and Rush split their 2010 series, with the Iron winning 71-48 on May 7 in Milwaukee and the Rush winning the second game 63-56 in Chicago on June 19.
The Iron normally plays at the Bradley Center, but because of rennovations being done to replace the scoreboard, the team will be playing next door at the U.S. Cellular Arena. With the venue change also comes ticket price changes as well.
Tickets will be offered at $10, $15, $25, and $50 at the Milwaukee Theatre Box Office and all Ticketmaster Retail Locations including Boston Stores and select WalMart stores, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 or online at Ticketmaster.com. Convenience fees apply.

One of three people accused of pimping a 17-year-old girl in Grand Forks in 2011 has accepted a plea deal with prosecutors.
The Grand Forks Herald reports (http://bit.ly/XqRzPw ) that 27-year-old Joshua Harry pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution. The felony carries a maximum prison sentence of five years as opposed to the initial human trafficking charge that carried a maximum term of life in prison without parole.
Plea deals also have been offered to 22-year-old Amanda Stewart and 30-year-old Travis Johnson. They are due in court Thursday.
Harry is to be sentenced April 8. His plea deal calls for a prison term of three years, but a judge must agree.

Why Oscar Can't Handle The Truth
Getting upset at the decision making at an awards show, as rapper Kanye West famously found out when he interrupted Taylor Swift onstage as she was picking up a trophy from MTV, usually makes the complainer seem more pitiful than the program.
That said, the nominees for best picture for this year's Academy Awards might make some movie lovers want to jump on stage and grab someone's microphone.
On the surface, Oscars voters seem to have selected an eclectic group of movies. The nine films nominated for best picture are "12 Years a Slave," "American Hustle," "Gravity," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena," "Captain Phillips," and "The Wolf of Wall Street." These are all quality films, especially the favored "12 Years a Slave," which faces up to the weighty subject of American slavery, and "Dallas Buyers Club," which explores the early days of the AIDS crisis.
But the outrage isn't about what's is on the list, it's about what was snubbed.
Smaller movies that realistically explore the intimate lives of people without broadly theatrical and comedic turns–"Blue is the Warmest Color," "Before Midnight" and "Fruitvale Station"–were largely ignored by the Academy Awards this year. In other words, to paraphrase the broadly theatrical "A Few Good Men," the Oscars can't handle the truth.
With Hollywood facing increasing competition from videogames and streaming TV shows like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black," producers seem to be focusing on bigger, immersive cinematic experiences that outstrip what viewers can get from home entertainment. Hence 3-D movies like the Oscar-winner "Avatar" or this year's best-picture nominee "Gravity."
What viewers may lose out on is what separates a film from a movie, art from entertainment and something truly special from special effects. "Blue is the Warmest Color" drew attention for its lengthy lesbian sex scenes–but at its heart, it was about heart. "Fruitvale Station" told the true story of Oscar Grant, a young, unarmed African-American man who was fatally shot by a white Bay Area transit police officer on New Year's day 2009–but most of the movie is about Grant's life, not his death. "Before Midnight" simply follows a middle-aged couple through the day–but its ordinariness is what makes it extraordinary, as viewers see their own lives reflected in what's on screen.
Of course, judging whether a movie is good or bad is subjective. But there is broad consensus that these three movies were among the year's best. "Blue" scored 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie review aggregation website, "Fruitvale" got a 94% and "Before Midnight" registered a 98%.
Those scores are comparable to the ratings of the bigger films that were nominated.
Wall Street Journal movie critic Joe Morgenstern called "Fruitvale Station" "magnificent," described the acting in "Blue is the Warmest Color" as "nothing less than astonishing" and said that the performances in "Before Midnight" were "beautifully fluent" and among the best of the entire year.
Despite such accolades, all three were left off the list for best picture, and none of the actors from the three films are up for the major acting awards.
Part of the problem is bureaucratic. "Blue is the Warmest Color" wasn't released in its native country, France, in time to qualify for the best foreign language film Oscar. But the lead actresses in "Blue,"Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, were eligible for Oscar nominations–and were snubbed anyway.
Part of the problem is that these smaller, deserving films came out earlier last year. "Fruitvale Station" got a wide release in July of 2013 and "Before Midnight" got a limited release last May.
Oscar voters, apparently, can have short memories. That's too bad because for people that actually watched them, "Blue," "Fruitvale" and "Before Midnight" were hard to forget.

Two of my favorite holiday traditions.
Holidays bring about varying emotions. For some, the holidays seem filled with a dizzying array of demands. The parties, shopping, baking, cleaning and entertaining, bring with them the unwanted company of stress and depression. The lights, decorations, and anticipation create more anxiety than joy. For others, the holiday excitement is welcomed with open arms.
What if we could decrease a persons stress with the food we make and share? My recipes listed seem to do that for me. They are extremely comforting. The aromas elicit such fond memories and feelings of peace and calm. It seems to me that some of our traditional holiday recipes and customs were perhaps invented with more than just great smells and tastes in mind. Did you know that historically certain foods, herbs, spices and things of nature actually offer elements of healing? I've listed a few that would be likely to appear during the holidays. Some of their valuable characteristics are:
Peppermint - calms nerves, soothing
Pine - revitalizes people suffering from mental or emotional fatigue or nervous exhaustion. Soothes mental stress, relieves anxiety.
Balsam fir - offers emotional balance, feeling of being grounded, empowerment, stimulates your mind while allowing your body to relax.
Cloves - helps with fatigue, creates feeling of protection and courage, causes good sleep
Cinnamon - known to be an anti-depressant
Nutmeg - used for centuries for digestive problems, increased energy, eases nervousness.
Citrus - helps with nervousness and insomnia, associated with feelings of generosity and gratitude.
This year, when you share your holiday recipes and traditions, keep in mind that there may be more that you are offering. Keep the joy alive! Enjoy your holiday season!

I do use Launchbar since version 3. No Mac without this piece of software!
I wish it could work with menu commands of programms, too (in a way that Nisus Writer Express does: multiple character shortcuts, such as COM-SA for Save As or COM-VT for Paste Text (Only))
I'm another extremely happy LaunchBar user. This program's fast, great at predicting, and responsive. I hit control-space - I type - hit return - and I've opened a file before I'm really aware of what I'm doing.
I think; LaunchBar produces the result.
I enjoy LaunchBar's features. The program controls iTunes; it lets me append text to files; perform calculations; search the Internet; slice deep into my bookmarks with a scalpel's precision. It finds files when I haven't even got any idea of their location. It learns abbreviations with startling ease. It does everything I ask it to - and most of the time, it moves so swiftly and smoothly that I don't even realize that it's there.
And of course, we have to compare LaunchBar to QuickSilver.
I don't think LaunchBar gets as much cred because it's not as cool. I see it as a quiet professional - it gets the job done efficiently, silently, and reliably.
About once every six months, I download the latest build of QuickSilver in the hopes that the latest build of QuickSilver has caught up in stability and perceived/actual performance. Then I try using QuickSilver for a while. It always ends the same way: eventually I start pounding on the desk in frustration, and then I have to go back to svelte lightning-fast LaunchBar in order to save the furniture.
What does QuickSilver give you? Modules and plugins, most of which are duplicated in LaunchBar. A choice of shiny interfaces - all of which are klunky. Spinning beachballs when you run simple searches. Crashes whenever you look at the program funny.
I timed a simple operation, moving a file from the desktop to a folder:
LaunchBar: 7 seconds
QuickSilver: 20 seconds
This is on a stripped-down QuickSilver installation, with a catalog trimmed to the point of inconvenience, using the "mini" inteface, with no visual effects.
Don't let yourself get seduced by shimmery glitz. Remember that while QuickSilver might look cool, in the end, mercury is just toxic waste.
In the end, I always come back to LaunchBar. The good things about LaunchBar aren't shiny, and they aren't obvious. This is highly-tuned code, well-tested, thoroughly debugged. It does exactly what I want, so fast that I don't have time to notice. And that's what I'm looking for in a launcher. Fast, smart, invisible.
Try out the LaunchBar demo. Spend a week with it, and let its seamless behavior slide into your way of working. Then try going without it. Totally worth the $20 for a license. It's probably the best $20 I've spent.
None of you mention Butler as an alternative, how come?
I will say one thing about Quicksilver. It's designed by a hacker who has an elegent aesthetic and knows how to write powerful apps with small footprints. It's good that's he working over Mr.LaunchBar because it's only going to get better for users of both.
Try Quicksilver and install the Mini interface plug-in and turn off "superfluos visual effects". Makes everything quicker with less large windows/bezels.
That and LaunchBar has the worst icon on Mac OS X.
Can't live without LaunchBar. A Mac without LaunchBar is almost unusable for me. Really. Love it sooo much.
Launchbar is the first thing I install on any mac I am working on, and if I can't install it, I don't use that computer. For me, it simply is part of OS X, and a part I could not do without. The best shareware anything I have ever bought, hands down. Out of 5 stars, I have to give LB 6.
I could not use a Mac without Launchbar. Great program; not only is it a fantastic application launcher, but Launchbar aslo works as a drop in replacement for SpotLight, the default OS X app switcher, and most Finder functions.
I honestly tried to like QuickSilver, but I couldn't bring myself to abandon Launchbar for such a clumsy, slow, complicated behemoth. The one aspect that kept me with Launchbar above all others: speed.
I have been using LaunchBar almost since it has come out. It does exactly what I want it to do and it does it well. Like others I have evaluated Quicksilver and not found a good reason to switch. If I could only have one add on for my system, this would probably be it.

Rowan Knitting Magazine 29
Spring 2001
There's a lot to like in the latest issue of Rowan Knitting Magazine. For starters, there are over 35 new designs from Kaffe Fassett, Kim Hargreaves, Louisa Harding, Debbie Bliss, Susan Duckworth, Debbie Abrahams, Carol Meldrum, and Julia Ryan Dinner.
That's enough to make me go out and buy the magazine.
A Good Read
I also appreciate the increasing amount of compelling editorial content Rowan adds to its magazines. This issue features a well-illustrated guide to intarsia, a profile of designer Mary Norden, and an inspiring article about the importance of teaching children to knit.
The designs are divided into four sections:
The designs in this issue use Rowan 4-Ply Cotton, Cotton Glace, Handknit DK Cotton, Wool Cotton, All-Seasons Cotton, Denim, and the newest addition to the Rowan lineup, Linen Drape.
Our Votes
It's hard to say which of the patterns is my favorite. There's a cotton crochet bikini I won't be trying any time soon. But then there's a simple, lined knitting bag from Jane Bunce that may be hard to resist.
Likewise, there's a rich brocade cardigan from Kaffe Fasset, beautiful stitchwork sweaters from Kim Hargreaves, and some extremely simple sleeveless tops I may have to try.
If summer is your thing and you like to stay on the edge of knitwear design, you'll definitely want this issue.
Where to Buy
The issue is currently making its way across the country, so online availability is still sketchy. Awesome Ewe and ForKnitters carry Rowan magazines, so you may want to ask them about reserving a copy.

If you're worried that your toddler is overweight or concerned that he might become obese at some time in the future (perhaps because obesity runs in your family), you might already be thinking about cutting down on the amount of dietary fat he consumes. However, you should think again.
Here's the bottom line: in the first 2 years of life, you need to avoid placing any restrictions on the amount of fat your child consumes.
Your toddler actually needs fat in his diet to ensure proper growth and brain development, and those first few years of life are particularly crucial. Dietary fat serves a number of other important functions as well, including providing energy and promoting wound healing. It also helps your child absorb certain vitamins.
How much fat is enough? During his first 2 years, about half of his calories should come from fat. Then after age 2 years, you can modify his diet gradually until his dietary fat makes up about one third of his caloric intake.

The author describes expression technology that produces cell lines with high genetic stability. This technology can be used in multiple cell types using a single or multiple gene constructs.
Genetic and expression stability are important metrics that should be used to evaluate any cell line development method. A cell line that is genetically stable throughout the biopharmaceutical manufacturing process is essential for any development program and is required for regulatory adherence. The definition of genetic stability can vary slightly depending on application; however, typically, genetic stability is confirmation that the transgene DNA and subsequent mRNA sequence along with the number of transgene copies do not change over the length of time required to perform a biopharmaceutical manufacturing run. The starting point for genetic stability testing is usually a vial of cells from a research cell bank, master cell bank or working cell bank. These cells are thawed and cultured for multiple generations. The minimum length of the standard stability study should be based on maximum number of cell doublings that will occur in the biomanufacturing program. Additional generations can be added to the study to allow for future changes to the manufacturing process and to be certain that the number of generations chosen is easily above the maximum doublings possible in the manufacturing run.
The majority of cell line development technologies that result in consistently high biopharmaceutical production generate cell lines that contain multiple copies of the transgene of interest. Most of these methodologies are based on transfection of a DNA construct into the desired cell line. The transfected DNA constructs contain a selectable marker, and cell lines that survive when placed under the selection pressure usually contain the transgene of interest inserted into their genome. Cell lines produced via transfection of DNA most often contain multiple copy transgene inserts at a single genetic locus. These multi-copy insertion sites are normally found with the transgenes lined up in a "head to tail" manner (1). Cell lines containing head to tail gene arrays tend to have problems with genetic stability. During cell mitosis, homologous recombination may occur at the locus between different sequences within the array. Recombination can cause a reduction in the number of gene copies at the site and a subsequent decrease in the quantity of mRNA and protein produced. These problems can be accentuated when some form of gene amplification is performed on the cell line to increase transgene copy number. Amplification methods used during cell line development typically force the duplication of the head to tail gene array at that same locus in the host cell genome. The resulting larger array becomes more unstable and more prone to homologous recombination or other replication errors during cell division. An example of this phenomenon is an antibody-expressing cell line that had been produced using an amplification method. A significant reduction in the amount of light chain mRNA over extended culture was observed (2). In addition, without continual selective pressure, dramatic decreases in the number of transgene copies and a subsequent decrease in mRNA levels were recorded. Major stability differences between clones produced by amplification methodology have been observed (3, 4).Biopharmaceutical development companies have continually focused on shortening the timeline to get product into clinical trials. A main roadblock to a shorter timeline is the need to perform a genetic stability study. Even a minimal study (i. e., 40 generations) takes 3 to 4 months to complete. This timeframe represents a large portion of the cell line development timeline. However, for cell lines containing multiple gene copies at a single genetic locus, The study must be performed on numerous cell clones in order to select stable clones to move forward in the development process. The ability to eliminate stability studies from the critical development path can provide a significant time savings to drug developers.

- Your Olympic planner for Tuesday's action
- Olympic hockey medal winners
- Olympics: American J.R. Celski fourth in short track speedskating
- Purdy: Sharks land in Sochi, settle into Olympics mode
- Olympics: Julia Mancuso wins bronze in Super Combined
- Winter Olympics: Your Monday morning update
- Olympics: American J.R. Celski fourth in short track 1,500 meters
- Olympics: U.S. women thump Switzerland in hockey
Olympic organizers have altered the men's halfpipe schedule hoping for better conditions over a course that has drawn heavy criticism from riders.
Instead of a qualifying run originally scheduled for 2 p.m. local time Tuesday, riders will compete in a "semifinal" at 6:20 p.m., with the top 12 advancing to the final set for 9:30 p.m.
Rising temperatures have wreaked havoc with the halfpipe during training.
Danny Davis of the U.S. said Monday the run needed a lot of work, and 2006 gold medalist Hannah Teter, who will compete in the women's contest Wednesday, called the halfpipe course "crappy."
Temperatures were expected to rise well above freezing Tuesday afternoon, worsening already slushy conditions that could play a role in Shaun White's bid for a third straight gold.
There were dozens of falls, very few big tricks and a lot of complaining during a Monday practice session that was pushed from morning to night while workers tried to make fixes.
"When you see every other person fall, you know something's wrong," Teter said. "It's a little dangerous. I've seen more people fall today than I saw all season. It's dangerous because it's crappy."
White called it "pretty hard to ride" but said it was nothing riders haven't dealt with before.
"The flat bottom is just sand and mush," he said. "It's pretty heavy. And once everyone gets in there, it just turns to mush."
Stuck again: American bobsledder Johnny Quinn might want to start avoiding small spaces at the Sochi Olympics.
The 30-year-old, who made headlines last week by breaking through his stuck bathroom door at the Olympic Village, said he and some compatriots were trapped in an elevator Sunday. He posted pictures of the inside of an elevator, saying he was stuck with teammate Nick Cunningham of Monterey.
"No one is going to believe this, but we just got stuck in an elevator," he wrote on Twitter.
U.S. Bobsled spokeswoman Amanda Bird confirmed Quinn's account of the incident. Bird said Quinn was stuck in the elevator for no more than "a handful of minutes."
Sochi warming: Organizers have canceled the last scheduled training session for the women's downhill because of mild temperatures and soft snow conditions.
Temperatures soared to 61 degrees F (16 degrees C) along the Black Sea coast, while it was well above freezing in the nearby mountains, where skiers were putting snow in their racing suits to cool down and ski jumpers were landing in puddles. The weather could get even warmer by the end of the week.
Gender breakthrough: Women ski jumpers have been fighting for more than a decade to get into the Olympics, and they finally make their great leap forward Tuesday, when the event debuts.

Steve French will chronicle, Imboden's Brigade in the Gettysburg Campaign from his 2008 award winning book. John Daniel Imboden, a native of Staunton, Virginia; taught school at the Virginia Institute for the Education of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind as well as practicing law in his home town before the war. He originally served as captain of the Staunton Artillery from April 19, 1861 through the Battle of First Manassas where he was wounded. He continued his military career by organizing a battalion of partisan rangers, the 62nd Virginia Mounted Infantry. Promoted to Brigadier General in January of 1863; he commanded 3,400 men through northwestern Virginia who laid waste to rail bridges and captured $100,000 worth of Federal animals and supplies. His finest moment occurred during the Confederate retreat from Gettysburg; trapped by flooding waters on the Potomac River at Williamsport, Maryland; he successfully protected the wagon train and repulsed Union advances without significant loss. Mr. French illustrates the tale of the harrowing retreat from Gettysburg through torrential rains, bad roads and Union Cavalry attacks with projected images of significant sites along the retreat taken before development altered the countryside. Mr. French is the author of scores of Civil War related articles and book reviews for The Washington Times, Gettysburg Magazine, North & South Magazine among others He is a frequent guest lecturer throughout the lower Shenandoah Valley, Potomac Highlands and along the Confederate retreat route from Gettysburg. Delaplaine Room doors open at 7:00pm. The one hour lecture starts at 7:30pm. First come first serve, reservations are not accepted.
The Summer Evening Lecture Series is free and open to the public! The doors open at 7:00pm and the lecture will begin at 7:30pm.

Completed week 5 day 1, now on to longer runs.
I stetch very little before runs, 10 seconds on my hamstrings and 10 seconds on my thighs. I perform much better when I stretch a little bit. Walking to cool down is better than stretching for me.
Short term goal - 10/31/2012 - 241 LBS

Long term goal - 190 LBS - Sometime in the distant future.
Running: Complete Broad Street Run May 2013
Just completed W1D2 - it went worse for me that W1D1.. Anybody else experience that?? I couldn't jog all of the 60 second intervals, my legs are on fire...but i didn't STOP, i Just walked more...
Started C25K - July 10, 2012
Long Term Goal - COMPLETE C25K Program
Short Term Goal - Move to next week!!!!!!!!!
Short Term Goal - NO INJURY!!!!!!!!!
"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going." ~ Forrest Gump.
I never stretch before or after. I am up to 4 mile runs twice a week and a longer 6 mile on the weekend. I am running in Luna sandals and there are no more knee issues. Yes, you heard me. Running sandals. I bet if I did stretch the fatigue and rubber legs would likely go away.
Keep going you guys I am nearing my 1 year anniversary of starting running and I feel amazing. When I started I couldn't run for more than 15-30 seconds. I completed a run that was 1 hour 15 minutes last weekend. Just keep going, don't get discouraged, don't stop.
Never stop.
Also here are a few tips about being self conscious:
1) Go to areas where there are other runners, I think others have mentioned this. People always support you if they share your interrests. It's the ones that won't/can't that want to tear you down.
2) Walmart sells starter compression shirts. They keep things....stationary...wear a t-shirt over them and they whick sweat away from your body and keep the experience a pleasant one. $15.
3) Chafing....yea, it's a delicate subject but our bodies rub together and chafe. You can get something called Body Glide that goes on like a stick deoderant. Amazon sells it if you don't want to buy it from a running store. It's about $10 and lasts for about 6 months.
You can also use it on your feet when you get new shoes to avoid blisters.
4) If your aim is to lose weight as well as gain fitness you are going to have to diet. Salads with dressing on the side is your friend. Go for garden salads when available as some fancy salads can contain 1000 calories
5) Loseit app helps you track calories (even has a bar code scanner)
6) Endomondo fitness tracker has a social component to it you can see your friends walks/runs/swims etc and comment. You can even send them pep talks during their runs. Amazing technology. They also have challenges where you can win things. I won some shoes from Li-ning as a random participant. It also helps you set goals (how can you set a goal if you don't know what your best is?)
There are some tips, now get out there!

Good morning!
Here's my abreviated story: I'm a 50 year old gal with rhuematoid arthritis. I was diagnosed two years ago and have been on different treatments that work and then stop. Right now I am pretty much in a drug-induced remission and that's good. I never know how long it will last. Since I was diagnosed I have gained about 30 pounds. I'm right at 200. I hate it.
In March I took the plunge and decided, pain or no pain, I was getting fit. I joined the Y and hired a trainer. I work with her 2x a week and do cardio 4-6x a week. Tomorrow I will begin W4D1 of C25K. Since March I have gained 8 pounds. *sigh* Time to get serious about my diet.
I run/shuffle on a treadmill at home. I just cannot bring myself to run in public yet. My goal is a 5k at the end of September in a nearby town.
I have already been inspired by this site and plan to continue perusing the boards for support and insight.
Thank you!
Juicy, don't worry about it. If your legs were burning, it means you were going too fast or you weren't warmed up. It never hurts to slow down or to walk....just make sure you are moving forward. I and many others started with 30 second runs so take your time.

Running: Complete Broad Street Run May 2013
Hi All!
I joined C25K a few weeks ago. I just finished Week 3 and I'm feeling pretty good. I struggled a little bit this morning, but made it. I have the 5K app on my phone, which is really great. I love using it. I think it really is helping me. I like that there is a group to come to and be able to talk about this. I'm hoping to lose quite a bit of weight. In the past 3 weeks, the scale has stayed the same. I realize I'm gaining muscle, but I would still like to see those numbers go down. It's a bit frustrating.
I signed up for my first 5K for this fall. I hope this program really works and gets me to my 5K!
Hi all,
Finished w1d3 today and feeling good! My knees feel much better but now my stinkin shins/ankles were killing me by the end of my run! I could have kept going except for that! And surprisingly, I wanted to!! I think I may actually be able to do this!!
I know what you mean about the scale not showing much of a change! I ran about 11 years ago and the weight just seemed to just drop off back then. I guess 11 years and having had 2 kids since then has made a difference! I have had a small weight loss, but the only difference in my diet that I made was drinking more water and almost no soda/sugary drinks. My body is already in shock that I am exercising so eating healthy too may just be too much to handle!! But good luck!! You can do it!!
Chipy13 ~ I completely agree with you! My body really must be in shock. "You're lifting how much weight?" "You're running?? Are you serious??!!!" "Wait, there's a McDonald's can we stop please??"" Yup, too much for it to handle. My trianer keeps telling me it will kick in, it will come together and a slow weight loss will begin as long as I keep doing what I am doing.
Keep it up!
My body was saying the same thing! "Please! Dairy Queen is just around the corner!" Hi guys! I kinda fell off the face of the earth for a while, but I have been keeping up with the running. It is great to see so many new faces. As I'm reading through the posts it seems everyone has the same doubts that I had at the beginning too. I didn't want to be seen by anyone! Too embarrassed that I had let soo much weight creep on. That everyone was going to make fun of the big guy trying to run. I am glad to report that I got more support than jerks!
But long story short, for those who don't know me. I started at 284. I repeated many weeks over. Some of the weeks didn't come easy for me, so I did them again. I did hit the 178, but I am now hovering between 180 and 185, I ran a half marathon with my wife last month in 2:42. We are planning to run another one in November hopefully under 2:30. So yes, you can do it! It will be hard, but you can do it! If you need motivation or a shoulder to cry on, come on back. This is the best forum on the web!
"It does not get easier... you get stronger"
"Once I decided quitting wasn't an option, the rest was easy." - Michele
Hello all! I am a brand new prospective runner. I am 5'2" and weigh in @ 221. I just signed up for a 10k run/walk at the end of sept 2012. I know I can finish it walking worst case, but I would love to finish it running! I just downloaded the c25k app onto my iPad and plan to start that tomorrow. If I were to rate my activity level I would rate it slightly above a couch potato. Any other suggestions? Do you all use a stopwatch to "time" the segments or just count off in your head? Any tips you found that worked for you to keep your energy up? Any suggestions for a newbie are welcome!
My ultimate goal is to be healthier! I mean of course I want to lose weight, I am just hoping that will be a side benefit of more activity and better eating.
Thank you!
Hi guys! Went out and did my 3 miles today. I've got 10 miles scheduled for tomorrow. I'll check in when i'm done. (translated - after i regain conciousness)

Did the 10 on my schedule. With the heat we;ve been having I decided to go to Shelly Lake in Raleigh. It is a 2.08 loop around the lake. It has some shady parts and more important, a water fountain. So 5 trips around, stop every 2.08 and get some water. I've put together a really good playlist on my ipod and Im off! The first three trips around went pretty easy. (don't roll your eyes - I've been at it for 2 years now) Now it starts to get tough. I'm hot! I've got sweat dripping from my eyelids! Time for a 30 second walk. Time it start back up. Now I start to argue with myself. "We do not stop again till the water fountain!"
Was I ever so glad to see that water fountain!! Took a nice long drink, splashed water on my face and head. Then my brain starts up again. "We can quit. 8 miles isn't bad." NO! We have 10 planned, we do 10!! I find a good spot on my ipod, 7 good songs in a row. Now I was extrememly glad to see that water fountain again. I won the no stopping arguement this time around too. I slowed down, and just kept going.
So just keep going, keep moving forward.
"It does not get easier... you get stronger"

Brazil Tested by Latin America Energy Populism
It was going to happen sooner or later.
Last month Argentina and Bolivia each expropriated strategic energy companies controlled by Spanish firms, heightening concern that a new round of populist, market-bashing policies was taking hold in Latin America.
After all, the region is not only the world's most promising in terms of oil production increase for the remainder of the decade, but also the second-biggest reserve holder. Middle classes are well consolidated, securing political and economic stability, albeit with varying degrees in each country.
But the world can rest easy, as it has indeed. Nothing has changed in Latin America and the expropriations are part of an expected geopolitical evolution featuring a rising region and a declining Europe. More important though, this time around Brazil is acting as a regional overlord that is making sure investment risks are controlled.
The government of Cristina Fern'andez de Kirchner moved to renationalize a 51 percent stake in YPF, Argentina's biggest oil company, owned until then by Spain's Repsol. She accused Repsol of being responsible for Argentina's declining production that made the country a net importer in 2008.
Spain and Europe threw a tantrum, understandably so. Argentina took back not only half of its business and oil reserves, but a big part of its overall operations. But Repsol's woes in Argentina are a decade old and if anything the expropriation has been long expected.
Days later, Bolivia expropriated the country's electricity distribution company owned by Red Electrica, another Spanish company. Spain didn't grumble too much, mostly because the market value of the confiscation is paramount to Bolivia, but spare change for Spain and its former owner.
In both cases, Bolivia and Argentina will inevitably pay fair value that will be set by a combination of national regulators and if need-be international arbitrators. Spain and its companies might complaint, but there is little they can do because, if nothing else, no laws have been broken.
Furthermore, unlike what many observers are claiming, this is not an economic matter. This is geopolitics at its best. Years of economic decline have blunted Spain's sway of yore.
Spain's Reconquista, the nickname of the massive foreign investment drive during the 1990s and 2000 when Spanish companies bought up controlling stakes in the region's banking, energy, and telecom industries, is over. Net investment flows have been increasingly flowing the other way around for a few years.
Spain's was the second biggest investor in Latin America during the 1990 and most of 2000. Between 2006-2009, Spain's share was 10 percent, behind the 25 percent of the US, but in 2010 it decreased to 4 percent.
In the meantime, Latin American countries, led by Brazil, underwent a formidable evolution from ragtag unstable countries to stable global players. The shortlist of game changers includes Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, albeit as counterweight to other market players.
Brazil, which rose to regional leadership status displacing the US in the process, has the most at stake in Argentina's and Bolivia's expropriations. Not only are its companies among the biggest investors in both countries, but its own appeal as investment destination could be hurt.
Brazil has taken the lead in managing the Argentina and Bolivian decision and even the White House has stepped back to allow its diplomacy to manage a potential disaster. And all things considered so far, Brazil is doing a good job, in effect defending global investors.
The end of the Reconquista
This is about Spain's decline on one hand and Latin America's ascent on the other.
Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said the expropriation "severs" the historic good relations between the two countries. "After what happened, you could think this could happen to anybody."
But international markets, other governments and multilateral institutions don't agree. Markets have punished Spanish companies more than Argentina's and Bolivia's in the aftermath, and this during a troubling time for Spain's economic crisis.
Many of Spain's biggest companies and banks that are strongly rooted in Argentina have also privately warned of stepping up a diplomatic tussle.
The IMF, World Bank, as well as most countries in the continent, have concluded both expropriations are isolated incidents that don't speak to the broader Latin American evolution. Argentina finally felt confident enough to repatriate YPF after years trying to pressure Repsol.
"If your job is to defend Spanish interests, and companies are asking for restraint, than you can't push much harder. Spain needs more of Latin America now than the other way around," said Jos'e Ignacio Torreblanca, senior policy fellow in the European Council on Foreign Relations.
Repsol, which bought YPF in 1999, was the biggest symbol of Spain's Reconquista. Spain was only second to the United States in terms of clout.
"It's true that Spain was very influential in Latin America, but Spain has to be happy that it now has partners it can treat as equals," Dr. Torreblanca said. "Yes, there used to be a polarization between populists and pragmatics in Latin America, but we are seeing the end of that. This is a Latin America of middle classes that doesn't like the stereotypes of yore."
This is not the first time Argentina defies international investors. Of more than three dozen sent to arbitration, it has only lost a handful of cases. Undoubtedly, Argentina's credibility in international markets and with lenders will suffer. "We expect this to curtail foreign direct investment (FDI) in key sectors such as energy, utilities, and telecom," Fitch ratings agency wrote.
That may be true for private investors, but not for state controlled companies, namely from China. Argentina was also the second biggest receptor of Chinese investment in 2011, after Brazil.
Kirchner's government subsidizes fuel and controls prices, meaning the return on investment for private companies like Repsol is limited. But securing oil exports could be enough to convince China.
One of the rumors, not surprisingly, is that Sinopec, one of China's biggest oil companies and investors in Latin America, has secured a deal to finance Argentina's promised oil production recovery. That remains to be seen.
Argentina's ability to raise production without any foreign involvement is also very much in question. It will likely follow the example of its Venezuelan precursors, who despite many more decades of experience in the oil industry still haven't recovered from pre- Ch'avez times.
Despite much flashy rhetoric from Hugo Ch'avez, Venezuela is once again flirting with foreign investors to secure funding, and Brazil happens to be one of its big partners. Brazil -along with Colombia since 2010- have tamed Ch'avez, and the same is already in play with Argentina and Bolivia.
Brazil's role is critical. As a regional leader, it will continue to play a stabilizing role, much like it played in the 1990s with Venezuela.
Indeed, the victims are so far Spanish companies. Others might be targeted in the future. But the process is only the natural evolution of Latin America's coming of age and of unsustainable economic models in the West.

Tuesday's letters: Graham's filibuster criticism
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 4:50 p.m.
Sen. Rand Paul recently conducted a 13-hour filibuster in which he effectively presented sincere and appropriate comments to clarify the exact, consequential details of policy put forth by President Barack Obama related to the use of drone missiles against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.
His concern was that by not receiving specific denial from the administration that drone missiles would be used in this fashion, the possibility exists that the president could conduct such action, which is far beyond that granted to the executive branch by our nation's Constitution.
Sen. Lindsey Graham's and Sen. John McCain's responses to Sen. Rand's appropriate and heroic presentation were immature and extremely naïve. Sen. McCain, at best, represents me only as much as any other flip-flopping, GOP/RINO legislator; however, Sen. Graham was elected to guarantee my constitutional rights and has once again fallen short of that responsibility, as he has in the past with cap and trade, amnesty and Supreme Court confirmations.
Newt Gingrich praised Sen. Paul for his support of our constitutional rights via his filibuster action, going on to say Sen. Paul and those like him in government represent "the pioneers of the future" and that those in government who will not actively demonstrate to support our Constitution represent "prisoners of the past."
Sens. Graham and McCain are indicative of what is wrong with the GOP and the United States in general. We need more dedicated action by constitutional conservatives in our government and less influence by "closet liberals."
School-boy activity as demonstrated by Sens. Graham and McCain in their attempt to discredit the importance of Sen. Paul's message will accomplish nothing but adding to the success of the Democratic Party and advancing creeping socialism in America.

If you missed the tree party March 9 at the corner of Marion Avenue and Alexander Avenue in Spartanburg, you missed a treat. A good time and fun were had by all.
There was plenty of kudzu and ivy for everyone. More than a dozen residents and guests came prepared to have fun. Everyone was dressed for the occasion, including the orange mesh safety vest. Newt Hardie, president of the Kudzu Coalition, brought a round of supplies for everyone to use. The weather was perfect.
But don't fret if you missed it because we're having another one Saturday at the same location. The fun starts at 9 a.m. and is hosted by the South Converse Street Neighborhood Association.

Lake Region State College head women's basketball coach Duane Schwab has been a busy man and is already preparing for next season.
Schwab has announced that at least four players have committed to the team thus far. The Devils Lake Journal will run a biography of each player over the next few days to help the community get to know the incoming student athletes a little better.
The first player we will talk about is Sara Schwanke. Schwnke will be coming to Devils Lake from Maddock High School where she averaged 14.8 points per game on the Benson County basketball team. She also averaged 3.4 assists, six rebounds, and 2.5 steals a game as well.
Schwanke, who is 5'8", was All-District and All-State. Not only was Schwanke a successful basketball player, but she was also an outstanding athlete in volleyball and track and field.
Schwanke helped her 4x800 relay team win state titles in 2008 and 2010. Schwanke will be busy this fall because she has also announced that she will be playing volleyball for the Royals.
During her high school volleyball career Schwanke earned All-District tournament team, had 1,000 career kills, and was named her teams most valuable player.

New Open-Source Tool Makes it Easy to Tap Into Docker, the Cloud's Next Big Thing
Your new app is brilliant; the code you've spent six months writing is beautiful. But when you upload it from your laptop to the web server, it just doesn't work. You know why: your laptop's is configured slightly differently than the server, and now you're now going to have to spend hours — maybe days — figuring out what you need to change to make it run properly.

First off I'm going to admit that I've made much easier and as tasty whole wheat bread. Not that this bread wasn't delicious, it was just a tad too dense for my taste. And in all honesty, it's not even really a whole wheat bread in that it involves a soaker, for which Mr. Reinhart suggests using various other grains. I ended up using some coarse ground wheat, corn meal, and some oats. This mixture is made the night before and left to rest on the counter.
This recipe also involves a poolish, also made the night before. Now here's where I'm going to admit that I deviated from the recipe. I've made many loaves of 100% whole wheat bread and I've never had success unless I add vital wheat gluten to the recipe. Mr. Reinhart's formula calls for high-protein whole wheat flour and I had no idea where to get that, so I added a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten to the poolish and then also added 2 tablespoons to the final dough recipe the next day. The dough came together perfectly and proofed well. I formed it into two loaves because he suggested using two 8x4 pans. I'm one of those who likes to use my 9x5 pans for baking bread and if I were to make this recipe again, I'd make it into one loaf and just use the 9x5 pan.
I'm off to make out with my new grandson for the next 5 days. Hopefully I'll have something to post about upon my return!

Whooping cough cases up in Louisiana
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 2:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS - Whooping cough has set a post-1960s record in Louisiana and things are worse in Texas, where nearly 2,900 cases have been reported, and Arkansas, where numbers are double those of a year ago. Louisiana health officials are asking doctors to keep an eye out for it.
Louisiana's state epidemiologist, Dr. Raoult Ratard, says 169 confirmed and likely cases as of mid-October breaks a vaccination-era record of about 160 for all of last year.
The disease starts like a cold, with sneezing and a congested or runny nose.
Ratard says adults should get booster shots if they're going to be around a baby so they don't unknowingly spread the disease to those most likely to die from it.
Five babies less than two months old have died of whooping cough this year in Louisiana and Texas.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Two brothers were were arrested Friday morning in connection to multiple armed robberies in Augusta.
Kelvin Thomas and Calvin Thomas Jr. are accused in robberies that took place on Sept. 19, Oct. 1, Oct. 7 and Oct. 20. Each robbery targeted victims who had just cashed checks at the Walmart on Deans Bridge Road.
The Thomas brothers will be charged with four counts of armed robbery.
When they were arrested, investigators found marijuana at their houses. Calvin will be charged with felony manufacture of marijuana.
All four victims were males and all of the robberies took place in the afternoon.
The first victim, a 66-year-old man, says he was followed home from Walmart on Sept. 19 and approached from behind while in his driveway on Eden Court. He says the suspects pointed a black semi-automatic pistol at him and took $1,100 in money orders.
The second incident happened on Cameron Drive around 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 1. The 72-year-old victim says a car drove up behind him in his driveway, and before he was able to get out of the car, one of the suspects came up to his window and pointed a gun at him. They were able to get away with $720 in cash.
When officers got to the scene of the third incident on Oct. 7, they found the injured 35-year-old victim and blood all over the driveway and steps of the home on Windermere Drive. The victim says a man came up behind him in his driveway and demanded money. When the victim denied him, he says one of the suspects hit him in the face with a gun. The victim was later taken to the hospital for injuries. He says they stole $400 in cash and three of his work paychecks.
The fourth armed robbery happened on Oct. 20 in the parking lot of the Hilton Garden Inn on Stevens Creek Road around 1:45 p.m. The 23-year-old victim says a man jumped out of a van, showed his firearm and took $520 in cash and a cellphone from his pockets before getting away.
