We live in a very calorie-driven food world, motivated by consumers who appear to care more about calorie counts than content. It's evident everywhere. Processed diet foods claim millions of fans, even though the majority of product ingredient lists and nutrition facts are pretty poor. Canned soups are relied upon as low-calorie, "healthy" lunch choices, when the remainder of the story contained in their ingredients is far from positive. And fast food is no exception to this rule. There are plenty of examples of this phenomenon, especially when it comes to breakfast. With products touting turkey sausage and egg whites served on whole grain breads and muffins, all too often, their accompanying ingredient lists tell a completely different tale.
Now, 7-Eleven has introduced a brand new egg white breakfast sandwich that's under 200 calories and costs just $1.99. Sounds like a dream come true for the calorie-crazed.
According to 7-Eleven, the sandwich offers consumers fluffy egg whites, lean Canadian bacon and cheddar cheese on a whole wheat English muffin. Sounds healthy enough. Here at FoodFacts.com most of us are in agreement that 7-Eleven's prepared breakfast sandwiches may not be the freshest offerings available. So we're pretty skeptical about that "fluffy" egg white claim. They go on to say that their customers can even request to have their breakfast sandwiches toasted, or they can heat them up in an in-store microwave in some locations. And sometimes, the sandwiches are in a small heated case, so they're already warmed. Regardless of which option consumers choose, said sandwiches aren't being prepared to order and may or may not have been sitting around for awhile. For some of us here, that's somewhat off-putting. But we know there are many out there who don't share that opinion.
The best we could do here was the nutrition facts that are readily available. The new sandwich contains just 180 calories, while boasting 13 g of protein, 5 g of fat, 2.5 g of saturated fat and 580 mg of sodium. And for those that are incredibly calorie conscious, those are pretty good numbers. When you consider that the 7-Eleven English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich with Egg, Sausage and Cheese weighs in at 390 calories, 25 g of fat, 9 g of saturated fat and 750 mg of sodium, the new egg white offering is definitely a leaner option.
"Our primary task was to create a great-tasting breakfast sandwich for people looking for a better-for-you alternative," said Kelly Buckley, 7-Eleven vice president of fresh food innovation. "We have fresh-cut fruits, salads, yogurt parfaits and healthy, low-calorie sandwiches, and we wanted a breakfast option that fell into that better-for-you category without sacrificing taste and quality."
"Many people are looking to make better choices, but not at the expense of flavor, quality, convenience or value," Buckley said. "Eating away from home adds extra challenges for those looking for healthier food options. We wanted to remove that dilemma for the morning crowd who prefers a hot breakfast that is low-calorie, low-fat and high-protein."
Honestly, the problem for us (as you may have guessed) is that we can't get an ingredient list just yet. We're trying, but it doesn't seem to be available. So we're not quite ready to say that this new sandwich is a better choice and can't attest to the quality of this trimmed-down product. And while 180 calories, less fat and sodium are all admirable, it's hard for us to weigh in until we can have a clear idea of the ingredients used to create this breakfast.
Sorry 7-Eleven, we'll have to save that "Oh, thank Heavens" exclamation until we have a clearer concept of what's really in this new hot or toasted or warm breakfast.

Hoping to exceed last year's 2500 attendees, this year's Pilots and Pancakes Fly-In, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6, added several more planes to the line-up.
"It's pretty big," Rex Hennen, assistant airport manager, said.
The fly-in has grown significantly since the first one five years ago, Hennen said.
"There were 10 people total that came," he said.
Jim Hunt, who helped start the air show five years ago, is still helping with the fly-in.
"We started from scratch out of our own pocket," Hunt said. "I wanted to do something that would inspire the young people."
"There's nothing quite like aviation to make them think about reaching for the stars," he added. "Limits are self-imposed."
In addition to the air show itself, the Rotary Club will be making pancakes for the pilots and for the audience at $5 per plate.
Several vendors will be present as well.
"If we can't get Shawnee on the map any other way, we'll do this," Hunt said. "Each aspect of what we do is a finger on an arm that reaches out."
The fly-in will feature a nearly 2-hour air show with several different flight techniques. In addition, several World War II planes will be on display.
Because of these additions attendance is expected to go up.
"I think we're probably going to see crowds in excess of 3,000," Hennen said.
The Pilots and Pancakes Fly-in will begin at 11:55 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at Shawnee Regional Airport. Tickets are $5 per carload and a plate of pancakes is $5.

Foodfacts.com wants to make you more aware of what controversial ingredients are being put into our foods. Sodium nitrate is a food additive in processed meats used to prevent the deadly bacteria botulism from growing. It is found in processed meats such as hot dogs, bologna, bacon, deli meats, ham and salami. It is this preservative that gives pink color to these meats. There are some harmful effects of eating these meats and taking in high amounts of sodium nitrates that you should be aware of.
Sodium nitrate additives cause the formation of nitrosamines in the body, which are cancer-causing chemicals. Sodium nitrate is being linked to colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer, but research still is being done to determine the relationship between this additive and other cancers. According to Medicalnewstoday.com, 90 percent of nitrites and nitrates have been determined as carcinogenic to the body and specific organs.
Increased Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes
Sodium nitrate might damage blood vessels, causing the narrowing and hardening of arteries, which can lead to heart disease, says MayoClinic.com. A study by the Harvard School of Public Health found that eating processed meats increases your risk of heart disease by 42 percent and diabetes by 19 percent compared with non-processed meats with the same saturated fat content. Further studies are being done on the possible link between insulin-dependent diabetes and sodium nitrates.
High Blood Pressure
High sodium foods are the leading cause of high blood pressure, and additives such as sodium nitrates add even more sodium than what is naturally found in the product. Read through the ingredients list on the food label to look for additives such as sodium nitrate, sodium alginate, monosodium glutamate, all of which add unnecessary sodium to your diet.
Increased Death Rates from Disease
According to Dailyscience.com, a study by researchers at Rhode Island Hospital found a substantial link between increased levels of nitrates in our environment and food with increased deaths from diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's. These diseases are associated with increased insulin resistance and DNA damage, which has drastically increased and is thought to be related to nitrates.

Fort Bragg soldier dies in training exercise
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 11:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 11:23 p.m.
FORT BRAGG (AP) — Officials at Fort Bragg say an 18th Airborne Corps soldier has died in a parachute accident during a training exercise.
A statement from the Army post says the soldier's identity has not been released pending notification of family. The accident is under investigation.
The Fayetteville Observer reports (http://bit.ly/18QmAlg) the soldier's death is the first in a parachute training accident in two years.
Staff Sgt. Jamal Clay died on June 25, 2011, when he fell 800 feet to his death during a training jump at Fort Bragg's Sicily Drop Zone.
Clay was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. Officials said he died using one of the Army's newest parachutes. Early reports blamed a parachute malfunction for Clay's death.
Since then, Army officials changed training and how the parachute is packed.

Welcome to the first edition of the 4th season(!) of This Week in Michigan Football History.
This time we step back to exactly 11 years this Saturday to the seesaw battle against the sweatervested Rick Neuheisel and his Washington Huskies in the 2002 season opener. The wild events of the final couple minutes caused many a Michigan man to lose his hair, especially those enduring the brutal heat that day. But in the end, coach Carr chose wisely and and the name Phil Brabbs is forever etched in Wolverine lore.
If you missed it, I chatted with Brabbs this week about the kick, kicking cancer�s ass and more.
And P.S. I know old Ufe� used to say �..to the coast of lake Huron,� but my boys Sap and Kryk we�re listening in Canada, ok? So Lake Erie it is.
Remember–You can catch all of the This Week in Michigan Football History clips here. Listen to it live tomorrow on the KeyBank Countdown to kick-off on WTKA 1050AM or catch it live inside the Bud Light Victors Lounge.

4. Teaching a Java-based CS1 Course in an Academically-Diverse Environment --- education : 17:39
The Texas Christian University (TCU) Computer Science Department was established in 1981. From the outset, the Department's CS1 course has presented significant teaching challenges due to the wide diversity of student's taking the class. Traditionally, only 25-35% of the students enrolled in the course are computing science majors, the remaining being students from a wide diversity of disciplines, many of which are non-science based. Despite the diversity, it has been necessary for the course, and its content, to be structured to satisfy essential core requirements for students majoring in computer science and computer information science as well as to meet program requirements for the many non-computer science majors taking the course. This paper discusses some of the unique issues associated with teaching a Java-based CS1 course to a very diverse group of students, the majority of which have very unsophisticated problem solving skills, and little or no programming expertise. A representative set of experiments and programming assignments are included.
Their CS1 course is taken by people from lots of courses.
Oooh, interesting idea: experiment component as part of most programming exercises. Students are required to conduct experiments. - questions about the code. This is pretty nice. In fact, they introduce API reading and inheritance early...
Let's experiment with AWT-first next semester. Might be fun.

GOP Rep. Desjarlais Clings to 33-Vote Lead in Tennessee
In a year that's seen incumbents across the country turn back primary challenges, a congressman once thought politically dead appeared to barely hold onto his seat Thursday.
Embattled Rep. Scott Desjarlais (R., Tenn.), an anti-abortion social conservative who became radioactive to other Republicans since it emerged in 2012 that he encouraged both his ex-wife and a patient at his medical clinic with whom he'd had an affair to terminate pregnancies, led his primary by 33 votes with all precincts counted, according to the Associated Press.
Tennessee law does not have an automatic recount law, but candidates may request one from the courts. State Sen. Jim Tracy, who is just a hair behind Mr. Desjarlais, has not conceded the race. His campaign manager said the focus will now be on uncounted absentee and provisional ballots.
"There are ballots left to be counted in the Fourth District Republican primary," Stephanie Jarnagin said Friday morning. "We eagerly await the final outcome once the counting is completed and verified."
Under Tennessee's law requiring voter identification at the polls, would-be voters who could not produce an approved ID at their precincts have two business days to provide one for their vote to be counted.
There is no estimate of how many such votes are outstanding.
Mr. Desjarlais was cast out by his fellow Republicans after the 2012 revelations – which came too late in that election to doom his chances. He struggled to raise campaign funds — Mr. Tracy raised more than three times as much money as Mr. Desjarlais – a rarity for an incumbent congressional incumbent.
And Mr. Desjarlais was not welcome by Tennessee GOP leaders, he was the only member of the state party delegation not to endorse Sen. Lamar Alexander's re-election, an arrangement agreed to by both men.
Mr. Desjarlais, who apologized for his past actions and said he believed he has been forgiven by God, stressed to voters his conservative voting record in Congress and his relationship with his current wife.
Mr. Desjarlais's campaign declared victory.
"The congressman is honored that the people chose him as the winner in the primary for Tennessee's fourth Congressional District and we look forward to now focusing on the general election," said his spokesman, Robert Jameson.
Meanwhile Mr. Tracy, who placed third in a 2010 congressional primary won by Rep. Diane Black (R., Tenn.), used his TV advertisements to pledge to bring "integrity" to Congress, an unsubtle reminder of Mr. Desjarlais's foibles.
The winner of the primary is certain to carry the seat in the November general election. Mitt Romney defeated Democratic President Barack Obama in the district by 32 percentage points in 2012.

NATCHITOCHES, La. – Chris Hawkins-Mast scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds, but Northwestern State outdueled the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team in an 82-68 victory on Saturday at Prather Coliseum. Terence Jones added 21 points and Jason Smith had a career-best 12 in a losing effort.
Louis Ellis led the way with 17 points for the Demons (14-9, 7-2 Southland), who maintained their hold on first place on the East Division of the conference with the win. Shamir Davis (15) and James Hulbin (14) finished in double figures as well. William Mosley had nine boards and four blocks for NSU.
The Islanders (4-18, 3-7) shot an even 40 percent for the game, both overall and from downtown. NSU had a strong day from the field, hitting 28-of-57 (49.1 percent) and 10-of-21 (47.6) from beyond the arc. A&M – Corpus Christi delivered an impressive performance on the offensive boards with 14, winning the rebound battle 41-34.
The two teams battled back-and-forth in a high-paced game early on, with the Islanders taking a 7-6 lead. But NSU went on a 7-0 run at that point, led by Shamir Davis and Louis Ellis, to grab a 13-7 advantage they would never surrender. The Islanders struck with four straight points to make it 13-11, but Northwestern State added an 8-2 run to regain an eight-point edge at 21-13.
They pushed the advantage to 25-15, but the Islanders came back with a thunderous 7-0 run to cut the lead to three, capped by a triple from Jones from the left corner. From there, the two teams continued to go blow-for-blow, with neither team mounting much of a rally. With the score 38-34 in favor of NSU, though, the Demons finished the opening half on an 8-1 run to take an 11-point lead into the half.
The rally continued out of the break, as Northwestern State jumped out with a 10-2 run, led by eight straight points from Gary Roberson, to push the lead to 56-37 at the 15:35 mark. But the Islanders responded with an 8-0 run of their own, featuring three-balls from Jason Smith and Jones back-to-back, to trim it to 56-45. The Islanders continued to deliver on offense, but NSU heated up from the field, parrying every A&M – Corpus Christi rally to make the score 67-56.
But NSU took the momentum after a thunderous Hawkins-Mast dunk, as Ellis nailed a three and Roberson followed with a fast-break slam of his own to push it to 72-56. The Demons pushed the lead to as much as 19, at 80-61, but the Islanders trimmed the deficit by scoring seven of the game's final nine points to finish off the contest.
The Islanders will have just a brief repose, as they return to action on Monday night at Savannah State in a non-conference affair. Game time is tentatively set for 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT, as it will be the second game of a doubleheader, with the SSU women taking on Longwood at 6 p.m. ET. Steven King will have the call on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX and GoIslanders.com.

CDC: Untreatable Gonorrhea a Possibility
July 7, 2011 -- The CDC is warning that gonorrhea resistant to known antibiotic treatments could soon be a reality in the United States.
A report in Friday's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report highlights gonorrhea's declining susceptibility to cephalosporins, which is the only remaining class of antibiotics available to treat the common sexually transmitted disease (STD).
While cephalosporin treatment failures have not been documented in the U.S., CDC officials say they are seeing "concerning trends" that suggest such failures are not far off.
"We do fear that based on what we are hearing around the world, we will see cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea," CDC Director of STD Prevention Gail Bolan, MD, tells WebMD. "We don't know when this is going to happen, but the hope is that we have a few years to identify other treatments."
Challenges of Gonorrhea Treatment
Bolan points out that since sulfonamides became the first successful gonorrhea treatment in the 1940s, emerging antibiotic resistance has been a frequent challenge.
"First we lost our ability to use sulfa drugs to treat gonorrhea and then we lost penicillin," she says.
And in just the last decade, growing resistance to ciprofloxacin and other drugs in the class of antibiotics known as fluroquinolones led the CDC to recommend against their use for the treatment of gonorrhea.
Bolan says the pattern of resistance now emerging for the oral cephalosporin drug cefixime and the injectable cephalosporin ceftriaxone is strikingly similar to that seen with the fluroquinolones.
For both drug classes, the first reports of treatment failures came from Asia. The first evidence of declines in drug susceptibility in the U.S. have occurred on the West Coast.
The July 8 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report includes an analysis of cephalosporin susceptibility for nearly 6,000 test samples collected annually between 2000 and 2010. Drug susceptibility was analyzed based on minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), which is a measure of the lowest concentration of antibiotics needed to stop a bacterium's growth in the lab.
Western U.S. Most Affected
The analysis revealed that:
- While the overall number of test samples that were found to have decreased susceptibility to cefixime was small, a concerning increase was seen in recent years -- from 0.02% in 2000 through 2006 to 0.11% in 2009 and 2010.
- Twelve of the 13 specimens from 2009-2010 with decreased susceptibility to cefixime were from men who have sex with men.
- The Western United States saw the biggest elevations in declining susceptibility; Hawaii had the biggest increases during the period (from 0% to 7.7%), followed by California (0% to 4.5%).

President Barack Obama, in his State of the Union message, cast himself once again as would-be deliverer of the American middle class.
He called yet again for a "balanced" approach to putting a dent in a $16 trillion national debt. "Balanced approach" means "with tax increases."
The Democratic Party takes the position that the federal government needs their money more than Americans do.
This proposition is and should be a hard sell.
As of tax year 2009, the richest 25 percent of Americans - adjusted gross income of $66,193 - paid 87 percent of federal income taxes.
The bottom 25 percent of Americans - income of less than $32,048 - paid 2.25 percent of federal income tax. (But they get eaten alive by payroll tax withholding.)
Who's left? The middle class.
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., responded by contending that what the American middle class needs is not more government, but more economic growth.
His life story makes his point especially difficult to dismiss.
Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants. His father worked as a bartender, his mother as a cashier and a maid.
And here he is, one generation later, in the U.S. Senate, engagingly, nervously responding to the president.
Rubio's trajectory is what most Americans actually want for each other - the freedoms that create the economic opportunities that enable them to thrive on their own.
Americans want government that respects working people, doesn't blow their hard-earned money, and doesn't kill the economic engine.
Most Americans are happy to help people who truly cannot help themselves. But most working people are exasperated with an oversized government that passes out handouts to stay in power.
They want a strong economy that gives them the chance to build their own version of the dream - not become serfs on a federal plantation.
The president came off as what he is - a polished professional politician.
Rubio came off - water bottle and all - as evidence of what a robust economy can do for ordinary people.
It's a more attractive vision by far.

Andersen named Hall finalist
Published: Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 12:32 a.m.
CANTON, OHIO — Former Saints placekicker Morten Andersen and former Fortier High and Arizona Cardinals defensive back Aeneas Williams are among 27 semifinalists named for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Friday.
The finalists will be announced prior to the Super Bowl in New Orleans in February.
Andersen played 13 seasons for the Saints from 1982 to 1994.
Andersen finished his career with stints with the Falcons and Vikings among other teams.
Also nominated for the first time are defensive linemen Warren Sapp and Michael Strahan and offensive lineman Jonathan Ogden. Williams starred at Fortier and later at Southern University before entering the pros where he had a penchant for interceptions.

إرفنج ضد ليبستدات
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< The origins of the use of...
The use of the gas vans to kill healthy Jews
6.70 As Irving also accepted, the gas vans and associated personnel were then moved to the East and placed at the disposal of Globocnik, the SS officer in charge of police in Lublin, where they arrived in late 1941 and early 1942. In September 1941 there is evidence that experimental gassing of Soviet POWs and others took place in Auschwitz. On 25 October 1941 Himmler met Globocnik at Mogilev, where an extermination camp was planned. On the same day Wetzel of the Ostministerium in Berlin met, firstly, Brack, a senior official of the Reich Chancellery who had been involved in the euthanasia programme, and later Eichmann. Wetzel drafted a letter to Rosenberg (Reichsminister for the Occupied Eastern Territories) and Lohse (Reichskomissar for the Ostland) that Brack was prepared to help set up gassing apparatuses in Riga and that there were no objections if Jews who were not fit for work were "removed" by these apparatuses. On the same evening Hitler met Himmler and Heydrich.
6.71 The experimental use of the gas vans continued. In November 1941 30 prisoners were killed by exhaust fumes from a van at Sachsenhausen. There was debate in the course of the evidence about the number of vans employed and their killing capacity. Longerich maintained that a minimum of six vans were used. Irving suggested only three were ever built. The Defendants adduced in evidence a report from a sergeant in the motor pool dated 5 June 1942, which records that 97,000 had been killed by means of the use of three vans over the preceding six months. Irving made a number of observations about the document designed, as he put it, to plant suspicion about it. For instance he queried how 97,000 could have been killed over that period, when according to court records only 700 were killed in gas vans in an action "lasting several days" at the end of November 1991. The figure of 97,000 struck Browning as perfectly feasible. He testified that the carrying capacity of the vans ranged from 30 to 80 people and that the arithmetic indicates that the three vans would have been capable of putting 97,000 to death in a period of 172 days. As to the 700 killed over several days at the end of November 1941, Longerich explained that after a period of experimentation, the Nazis improved their technique. In the end Irving accepted the authenticity of the sergeant's report.
6.72 Whilst Irving does not dispute that homicidal use was made of gas by the Nazis during the euthanasia programme and that thereafter the vans were put to use in the East to kill Jews in increasing numbers, he does quarrel with the Defendants' estimates as to the numbers killed. What is more important, Irving disputes the claim advanced by the Defendants that Hitler was kept informed of the killing of Jews by gas and approved it. I shall therefore summarise the parties' respective arguments on these contentious issues.

DELTA - Though there's a big football game Friday, and a soccer match tonight between the two schools, the Devils and Huskies can agree on one thing.
Load up the bus. Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley cross county have huge contingents for next week's state meet down in Colorado Springs after Wednesday's regional meet in Delta.
Battle Mountain's girls are back-to-back regional champs. Eagle Valley's boys posted their best finish - second - in the five-year history of the program. The Huskies boys are back at state after not qualifying as a team last year. And the Devils girls qualified for the first time in school history.
That would make for a pretty good Wednesday.
Index cards
On Monday, Huskies running coach Rob Parish had all nine of his girls regional runners pick index cards with random numbers. The exercise was repeated. The basic point was that it didn't matter who finished in what spot in Wednesday's race. It just mattered that the Huskies do it as a team.
They did.
"A regional championship is awesome," Huskies junior Sydney Gaylord said. "I'm so glad to be here for the second time. Definitely, the competition was way harder than last year, but I think our team has come so far, too."
As an example of the index-card exercise, Val Constien was Battle Mountain's top runner in fourth place with a time of 18 minutes 50 seconds. Mandy Ortiz, usually the team's top finisher, was right behind her in sixth (19:00).
Gaylord made it three in the top 10 in eighth (19:11). (She got Parish's traditional "hero of the day" honor.)
Christina Shearon (12th, 19:47) and Bridgett Courtois (19th, 20:12) gave the ladies their third regional title in school history. Battle Mountain also has a golden plaque from 2005.
"It was a new challenge for these girls to be the favored team," Parish said. "Having a bull's eye on their back posed challenges. This team always had big goals and aspirations. They came out and executed."
Bob's brother
Eagle Valley has runners named Bob and Nathan. Bob is actually Samantha Maddox, a senior, and Nathan, a junior, is actually the Maddox who runs for the Eagle Valley boys cross country team.
How Samantha got the nickname Bob we don't know, but Nathan's big day translated into a huge one for the Devils. Gregg Salaz (16:34), Hunter Burnham (16:37) and Nathan Maddox (16:40) went 3-4-5, and all finished at 16:40 or faster as the gents took second place, only 10 points behind regional winner, Durango.
"Today felt really good," said Maddox, who won the boys' Hoss Award. "I had all that adrenaline from regionals at around Mile No. 2. It was pack running. It felt great knowing that we were 3-4-5, coming in right after each other. The next finisher from Delta wasn't close at all."
Rafael Gurule (17:26) and Will Thrasher rounded out the scoring. Remember that last year, the Devils squeezed into the fourth and final spot. This year, they had room to spare.
"Nathan didn't go under 17. He crushed it," Devils coach Melinda Brandt said. "Those three ran perfectly. Rafa was a huge guy for us. He beat the guys around him. We're stoked. This year, we want to be top 10 at state."
Welcome back
OK, Jonny Stevens, Tony Crisofulli and John O'Neill aren't dead, but if they were, they could stop spinning in their graves.
The Battle Mountain boys are back in state after taking third Wednesday. The Huskies missed state last year after appearing from 2003-2010.
"They've been pushing hard to get back to this point and they have righted the ship," Parish said. "There's a lot of history with this program and they took on the responsibility."
Battle Mountain's scorers finished within 36 seconds of each other. Joe Barrett finished in 17:07, followed by Ethan Pence (17:28), David Suarez (17:30), Cameron Moore (17:33) and Josh Braun (17:43).
Suarez becomes the answer to a trivia question in that he is a four-time state qualifier from that bunch. He went as an individual last year, but is delighted to have some company this fall.
"Without a team? That felt horrible," Suarez said. "Going with a team, you always know someone's there to support you."
Eagle Valley's Chantal Willoughby really didn't like how her race was going Wednesday.
"I actually didn't think I was doing that well," she said. "I thought I was way behind pace."
Actually, she finished in 19:13, obliterating the old school record, won the girls' Hoss Award and took 11th, helping the Devils ladies to their first team berth at state.
"I was shocked," Willoughby said.
It's good kind of shocked. Gabriella Avila was 17th in 20:10, followed by Nikki Cunning (22nd, 20:28) Samantha (Bob) Maddox (31st, 20:55) and Tyler Beckum (40th, 21:18).
And this makes it the first time in the brief history of Eagle Valley that the school is sending two teams to the big dance.
"We've definitely been waiting for this," Brandt said. "Kids have been telling me, 'We're taking a big bus.' We've established a running culture here, and everyone's buying in. There's no locking back from here."

"Sew Many Memories" Quilt Show at the Hoover Historical Center in Canton, Ohio
Visitors to Walsh University's Hoover Historical Center will have the opportunity to view a unique showing of quilts and various textiles that reflect North Canton history from the early 1800s through 2008.
Combining pieces from the Center's collections with works from the North Canton Heritage Society, coverlets made by New Berlin resident Isaac Sheaffer in the 1800s and also by Benjamin Lichty will be among the textiles on display.
A full size signature crazy quilt with New Berlin residents' names embroidered and painted on beautiful fabric pieces with fancy stitchery, will be available for viewing and guests to search for family names. A display of fancy stitches and fabric swatches are components of crazy quilts. Signature quilts were sometimes made as a fundraiser for a church, missionaries or even to support troops during a war by either selling the quilt at an auction or people paid to have their name included on the quilt. Also called "friendship quilts" it was common for a signature quilt to be given to a member of the community as a memento of an important community event.
Among the vintage pieces displayed will be a framed floral needlepoint made by the late Mary Hoover Price on loan courtesy North Canton Public Library's The Little Art Gallery and a tablecloth signed by World War II veterans.
This unique showing will be available for viewing through October. Center docents will be conducting tours hourly, at 1, 2, 3, & 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.
Why not combine this quilt show with an overnight stay at Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast. Stay Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night and receive two free tickets. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Hope to see you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast

Click chemistry joins small reactive molecular building blocks together to drive binding reactions.[Eclipse Digital-Fotolia.com]
The Scripps Research Institute and Aileron Therapeutics entered an agreement that will add Scripps Research's Click chemistry to Aileron's stabilized peptide and protein technology platforms. The deal provides Aileron exclusive, worldwide rights to utilize Click chemistry for therapeutics and nonexclusive, worldwide rights for diagnostics.
The Click chemistries subject to this agreement were developed by Nobel Laureate K. Barry Sharpless, Ph.D., the W.M. Keck professor of chemistry at Scripps Research. Click chemistry describes synthetic chemistry tailored to generate substances quickly and reliably. This is done by joining, or clicking, small reactive molecular building blocks together selectively and covalently to drive a spontaneous and irreversible binding reaction, a process that is inspired by natural chemistry.
Click Chemistry has the potential to accelerate the drug-discovery process by utilizing a few practical and reliable reactions and by making each reaction in a multistep synthesis fast, efficient, and predictable.
"Aileron has discovered how to enable and, more importantly, where to use certain peptide and protein macrocyclization chemistries to drive therapeutic product profiles," says Tomi Sawyer, Ph.D., CSO and svp of drug discovery and innovative technologies at Aileron. "This agreement with Scripps Research further expands our arsenal to create novel therapeutics including protein and nonhelical peptide therapeutics and will give us access to one of the top biomedical research organizations in the world."
Aileron's stapled peptide technology platform locks peptides into their biologically active shape by the formation of one or more stabilizing macrocycles, mimicking the structures found in nature. This process captures the best features of both small molecules and therapeutic proteins, according to Aileron. It endows the peptide with drug-like properties including efficient cell penetration, improved pharmacokinetics, high-affinity binding to large target protein surfaces, and excellent stability within the body, the firm adds.
Aileron expects stapled peptides to expand the number of druggable targets by providing an opportunity to address the thousands of intracellular protein-protein interactions that remain a challenge for functional modulation by current therapeutics. Preclinical studies have shown that the company's stapled peptide compounds possess compelling potency, in vivo stability, and cell permeability.

SAN JOSE -- Raffi Torres likely is one week away from playing his first game of the season, but the Sharks forward is already looking back on his five-month rehab period as "a little speed bump in the road" after undergoing knee surgery.
"I didn't think I'd be able to get back this fast because my last time it took over a year to feel really good," Torres said Thursday, crediting San Jose's medical and training staff. "We're only at five months and I feel great."
Torres tore the ACL in his left knee in an awkward collision with Anaheim Duck forward Emerson Etem during a Sept. 20 exhibition game. He suffered the same injury during his 2007-08 season with the Edmonton Oilers.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said no one should expect Torres to be at the top of his game right from the start, though his conditioning and strength are both good.
"What comes last is always the timing — the hands, the read and react, game situations," McLellan said. "And that's still going to take some time."

Asheville to sue to block water changes
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 6:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 6:54 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Asheville City Council has voted to sue the state to block a forced merger of its water system with the Metropolitan Sewerage District.
Mayor Terry Bellamy says he expects other cities to join the lawsuit.
Buncombe Rep. Tim Moffitt introduced the bill to force the merger. It was approved last week and is awaiting action by Gov. Pat McCrory.
The measure calls for the merger to take place by May 15.
City officials say they think they have a good case because of a 1913 state Supreme Court decision suggesting there are constitutional limits on the General Assembly's power over municipal properties.

MARIETTA - Three months after his latest visit home to Marietta, U.S. Army Specialist Kyle Hockenberry has made amazing progress and is looking forward to moving into his "smart" home next year, according to his dad, Chet Hockenberry of Reno.
"He's doing real good-currently driving his own personal truck, and he's living in the barracks," Chet said Sunday.
In June 2011, Kyle was on patrol with his unit in Afghanistan when he lost most of both legs and his left arm from an explosion.
For more than a year now he's been undergoing rehabilitation at the Center for the Intrepid in San Antonio, Texas. Rehab is paying off.
"He bought a new Chevy Silverado with a 2500 diesel engine that's been modified to fit his needs," Chet said. "He's also back in the barracks where it's more Army-like and he has his own room and living area."
As Kyle continues to make steady progress in San Antonio, plans are also moving ahead to build a log-style "smart" home on property in the Reno area with technology that will help him live more independently.
Fact Box
Home Details
* 70 percent of the estimated $375,000 has been raised to build the high-tech home for U.S. Army Specialist Kyle Hockenberry.
* The home is in the design phase, and property on which the project is to be constructed is currently being acquired.
* To contribute to Hockenberry's "smart" home, go to www.buildingforamericasbravest.org
Source: Building for America's Bravest Web site
According to the Building for America's Bravest Web site, funding contributed for Kyle's "smart" home, originally estimated to cost around $375,000, stands at the 70 percent mark, and the home is currently in the design phase.
Building for America's Bravest is a joint effort of the Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation and the Gary Sinise Foundation. Both organizations have partnered to help raise funding to build "smart" homes for 16 U.S. soldiers injured while serving their country.
Each home is custom-designed to meet the needs of the soldier for which it is built. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is also asking for donations of building materials to help in the home's construction. If interested in donating, contact Chris Cuban at 314-603-2866.
A Marietta concert by Sinise's Lt. Dan Band in August raised more than $200,000 for Kyle's home.
Also in August, Bill Hutchinson, business manager for the Parkersburg/Marietta Building Trades Association, announced that association members from numerous trades will assist in building Kyle's home.
Barbara Titus, vice president of Sheoga Hardwood Floors in Middlefield, Ohio, announced that the company will donate all the solid hardwood flooring in the "smart" home.
Chet said construction on the home should begin shortly after the final property transfer is completed on the building site.
"They were hoping to have the home ready to give to Kyle by Memorial Day, but some of the foundation offices were hit by Hurricane Sandy, so that set them back," he said. "But they're also trying to help their neighbors in New York with recovery efforts."
Meanwhile, contributions for Kyle's "smart" home continue to come in locally from both individuals and organizations. And people can still donate online at www.buildingforamericasbravest.org to help purchase items for the home.
Kyle is expected to return home for good early next year.
"It's down to a matter of months now," Chet said.
Kyle will make at least one more visit here before spring.
"He's going to be here for Christmas-to spend a few days at home this year," Chet said.

1. Let me just say...
2. What gets me excited about social bookmarking?
Then there's social discovery. I check my del.icio.us once in a while in order to find out what the latest bookmarks are in a certain area, although I'm now slightly annoyed about the fact that most bookmarks are either stuff I've already seen or stuff I don't care about.
So that's not what I really like, either.
I somewhat like using del.icio.us to share URLs, but those tend to be special-purpose tags we've agreed on beforehand. I don't really tell people to check out my http://del.icio.us/sachac/social links, for example, because there are just too many links for people to sort through properly. It's the problem of navigating through someone else's personal information space.
Social search a la http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com isn't that big for me either because (a) I'm not connected enough to get much better search results, and (b) I don't trust that all the relevant sites have been bookmarked, so I may as well go through a regular search engine.
On the other hand, using event- (http://del.icio.us/tag/torcamp) or issue-oriented tags like digitalpinay (http://del.icio.us/tag/digitalpinay) made it easy to quickly gather bookmarks without having to set up some kind of groupblog or wiki.And I totally, totally, totally love checking out people's bookmarks and getting an idea of their interests.
That's my killer app for del.icio.us. Stalking. ;) No, no, it's called keeping up with old friends and making new ones.
And that's why people check out my bookmarks, too. Okay, well, they don't really have a choice because I include my bookmarks in my blog feed for my tech-savvy friends who read lots of blogs, so other geeks can't help but notice whenever I bookmark tango websites and whatnot.
I wonder if there's a business use for this, like the way I would _really_ like being able to flip through other people's bibliographies. Stuff like that.
I CAN DO THIS. I just have to make sure that it's not a solution in search of a problem! <laugh>
See, PhD students can spend time figuring out what the problem is and then thinking up a solution. What's a master's student supposed to do?

SANTA CLARA -- Bob and George Whitfield joined the 49ers this week as part of the NFL's coaching internship program.
One of George Whitfield's responsibilities will be imparting upon Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers other quarterbacks some of the wisdom he has gleaned over the years as a quarterbacks guru of sorts.
"I thought it would be beneficial to us to have him here," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of George Whitfield.
The Whitfields, who aren't related, arrived Monday. They are scheduled to work with the 49ers the rest of this week, all of next week and through training camp.
"We're really fired up to have them," Harbaugh said. "They're both doing a good job."
Bob Whitfield, an All-American at Stanford and father of current Cardinal receiver Kodi Whitfield, played offensive tackle for numerous years in the NFL. He has been assigned to work with the 49ers offensive linemen during his tenure.
George Whitfield has made a name for himself by working with quarterbacks such as Cam Newton and Andrew Luck before they reach the NFL draft.
Harbaugh said Whitfield will be just another voice in the 49ers quarterback room, along with quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
"There's no carte blanche," Harbaugh said. "We agree on a lot of things. I haven't found anything that we disagree on.
"It's not like we've turned our quarterbacks over to George, but he can augment it, he can assist, and it will be beneficial for us, beneficial for him, and it should be a win-win."

Ball Watch: From the Himalayan Mountains to the Skylab
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in Ball (26)
Ball Watches came from a tradition of precision. 1891 saw the dismal collision between Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway trains at Kipton, Ohio because an engineer's watch stopped working. The aftermath? Webb C. Ball was assigned to be the Chief Time Inspector. He instituted standards for time-telling precision and a meticulous inspection system for railroad chronometers. After a while, Webb C. Ball's original jewelry business back in Cleveland became the Ball Watch Company; a company dedicated to providing accurate and durable watches even under difficult conditions. Ball technology features the 3H micro-powered gas lights that can glow up to 100 times brighter than any luminous paint and will last for 25 years. With safety in mind, Ball Watches are also made to be antimagnetic. Brief contact with a man-made magnet will easily affects the accuracy of magnetic pieces. Ball Watches are also shock resistant, water resistant, and scratch resistant—covered by DLC making the materials almost as hard as diamond and smoother than Teflon. Having high cold temperature endurance (made for expeditions in the North & South Poles) and the Ball Crown protection system, Ball Watch Company easily cuts it as one of the manufacturers of the world's most durable watches. These watches are always tested in adverse conditions by Ball Explorers who travel the world to test themselves in the watches; from the Himalayan Mountains to the Skylab in space. Ball Watches are made to endure. For classy and durable Ball Watch pieces, visit Shreve & Co. – authorized dealer for Ball Watch.

Pats player Edelman visits campus
By Erin Connolly '15
October 25, 2013
October 25, 2013
New England Patriots wide receiver and Twitter aficionado Julian Edelman visited an Emerson social media and marketing class on October 24 after students launched a Twitter campaign aimed to catch his attention.
Using the handle @EmersonBuzz, students tweeted to Edelman that they wanted him to come in because of his 112,900 followers on Twitter and his pictures of "epic" cheeseburgers.

Sure enough, Edelman saw the mass tweets and came into the class with bags full of hamburgers. "Burger time, anyone?" he said, quoting the hashtag he popularized.
Edelman spent about an hour answering questions from students about his perspective as a professional athlete using Twitter.
For Edelman, social media is a way to show his personal side and connect with supporters.
"The success I had was from just being completely authentic with it, going out and asking questions of what I was really thinking at the time," he said. "Not saying, 'Oh yeah, Puma's having a sale; I'm with Puma, come buy a 20 percent off thing.'"
Edelman is not endorsed by Puma. He personally posts all of his own tweets and replies to messages as much as he can.
"When you reply to someone, it's crazy," he said. "All you need to do is show that you care and people love to support that."
Maria Vivas '15, a student in the class, was at work managing social media for a real estate company when she saw that Edelman responded to her tweet.
"I just saw it and my jaw dropped," she said. "All I wanted to do was be with my classmates and say, 'Oh my God, guys; we did it!'"
The class instructor, part–time faculty member David Gerzof Richard, of the Marketing Communication Department, said it is unusual for a celebrity to respond so quickly because of the amount of noise on their Twitter feeds.
To stand out, the students had to be creative. "They did their research dead on," he said. "They realized that [Edelman] tends to spend his time on Twitter during Bruins games. So that's when they decided to execute their campaign and it worked very quickly."
Edelman is not the first Patriots player to visit the class. In the past, students convinced Rob Gronkowski and Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) to drop by.
With Edelman's visit, the class has now completed half of the semester's assignment. The students' campaign, called #brainsVSbrawn, also involves trying to score a Skype session with astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

They lost to Charlotte Monday night, which is not a good thing, not even at the end of an 8-city, 8-game Warriors journey.
They gave up 115 points to the Bobcats/Hornets, who average 90.8 points, and that's a horrible, horrible, awful thing, not too far off from some of the uglier things that have been cropping up of late for the GSWs.
But it's not desperation time for the Warriors, not at all. If they take care of their home games as they should, the GSWs should be in the 6-7 slot in the West by late-January/early-February, in time to try to make a run into the 4/5 slots.
It's NOT time to re-think who they are, at 12-10, having played so many road games (14, the most in the league; their six road victories ties the GSWs for sixth-most) and with so many juicy home games left.
But it's getting deep enough into this season and the Warriors have lost enough recently (4-7 over the last 3 weeks after their 8-3 start) to take some of the initial concerns fairly seriously, to start looking at some some solutions...
And maybe to bat away some of the frillier worries.
Once again, I'm sorry, I can't get too deep into the stat-stuff with this item because I have some connectivity issues and won't have my laptop for most of today.
This is a surface look. You can pull up the deep-dive numbers. I'll do that at some other time. But just generally...
Also, Draymond Green consistently provides essential minutes and Jermaine O'Neal has turned in a handful of high-production games and usually offers decent rim-protection.
But even if all these guys were healthy, there's a depth problem for the Warriors, mainly focusing on Marreese Speight's deserved fall from grace—he only got 1 minute of PT last night—and the absence of anything at all from the Bazemore/Nedovic combination.
If the 2nd unit isn't going to score much, or if it has to be blended with the starters, which elongates the minute-toll on Curry/Thompson/Lee... that unit has to be a huge defensive plus.
And so far, I don't see "plus" defensive players in that unit except Green. (We shall see about Douglas and O'Neal.) Even Bazemore, who is supposed to be a defensive specialist, has been way off on defense... maybe thrown off because he can't seem to make a shot or dribble it up against pressure.
So the Warriors could really use another bench scorer/play-maker, even when Iguodala gets back.
Warriors GM Bob Myers said last week that the team would be rash to contemplate any significant move until the GSWs see how it flows with Iguodala back, but it's not hard to see there's a lack of bench power.
At some point, the Warriors are going to start looking to see what's out there, if they haven't already.
But the Warriors' payroll currently is at $67.4M, within $3M of the luxury-tax line of $70.3M, and that will limit a lot of things.
Though Joe Lacob has always said he'd be willing to go into the luxury tax if it was for a difference-maker, it's a big leap to make. I think the Warriors want to save the luxury-tax card for the next few seasons, when they might really swing for the fences... and they at least want to hold back that option now (to avoid the possibility of repeater penalties in the future).
Also, I don't see a true difference-maker. Some of the names thrown around...
I like Lowry, I know the Warriors generally think he's a good, tough player, but at that salary, the Warriors would have to off-load some of their own salary, and I don't see Toronto being involved in taking back $$ for a valuable piece.
By the way: Who would the Warriors give up? They don't have a 1st-round pick to trade, so you'd have to be talking about dealing Douglas or Nedovic, probably, and that's problematic: Douglas is important if he's healthy and Nedovic is somebody the GSWs should keep.
There's no way the Warriors would or should think about moving Green, by the way.
I think Miller would be a very nice complement to Curry/Thompson/Iguodala and we know Miller has already played with Iguodala. But he'd take the GSWs into luxury tax unless they off-loaded somebody and what's Denver's motivation for taking back off-load money?
I think a deal like one of these is possible. But it will be complicated.
He hurt his ankle late in the game yesterday, so we'll never know if Jackson would've found ways to get Green in there to close this one, but there's little doubt that Green has been a key defensive cog for the Warriors with the 1st or 2nd units, especially when they're facing an outside-shooting PF.
And should play more and more.
Last night, Green went out of the game with it tied 88-88.
The Warriors had some problems from there, the same problems they'd have most of the night, except for a few period when mainly it was Green actually playing hard-edged D and the Bobcats weren't getting every shot they wanted.
Green can play some SF... mainly, though, I think he fits best as a stretch-4 who can guard other stretch-4s or rotate to defend tough perimeter SFs and even PGs.
But who does Jackson take out to keep Green in, down the stretch? Bogut or Lee?
Which leads to the thing most Warriors fans, owners and coaches can't stand hearing...
I'm not saying—and I've never said—he's a bad player, I'm just saying if Lee's going to shoot under 50%, he isn't much of a "plus" player because his defense hurts the Warriors vs. good post players and vs. stretch 4s and vs. everybody, really.
Ask Josh McRoberts how fun it was to play offense against Lee last night.
Lee's defense is never good, but the GSWs have largely been able to count on his offense giving them a boost, particularly his pick-and-roll play with Stephen Curry.
But the Curry P/R with Lee is not sparking much life this season and Lee is shooting 48.5% for the season (according to NBA.com and pro-basketball-reference.com; espn.com has it at 48.3%; I'm not sure which is right so I'll go with the higher number).
Lee's career FG: 53.3%.
I don't have the stats on the P/R this season, but I can tell you that the Warriors just aren't getting the same efficiency—or any efficiency—out of the Curry/Lee two-man game that they got for much of last season.
Why? Curry has been turnover-prone, but mostly, and the Warriors don't use the action as much because they have Bogut and, when he's healthy, Iguodala, and they can do different things with those two.
Also, defenses really seem to be playing the Curry-Lee P/R more aggressively, almost baiting Curry to throw the pass to Lee and then jumping the lane or daring Lee to hit the mid-range shot, which he has largely clanked or avoided this season.
So... just by FG% alone, Lee has been trending mostly at the bottom edge of his not-too-great career performance cycle for most of this season.
Some of that is adjusting or non-adjusting to life with Bogut, clearly. But the final conclusion might not be too fun for Lee fans, of whom there are many in the Warriors' hierarchy and coaching staff...
As a two-man front line they have strengths, especially with their passing skills. They also can be a very good rebounding tandem, though they do occasionally battle each other for those cheapies.
And Bogut's rim-protection really helps cover up some of Lee's deficiencies.
But they also overlap in some areas that aren't too good for the Warriors' big-picture hopes.
I don't know the how Warriors fix that—I mean, there is a solution, and it's to play Draymond Green with Bogut and maybe some small-ball with Harrison Barnes at the 4.
But the Warriors probably won't do that to Lee.
Unless Jackson is giving Lee all the minutes and all the support now and then if he has to go another way in a month or so, he can tell Lee: I gave you every shot, and sometimes it didn't work, now I'm going to have to scale back your role, especially at the close of games.
The next few weeks of this could be a little interesting.

Global use of air-conditioning is rocketing. Many of the world's fastest growing economies are located in the hottest parts of the world, and the need to keep cool has become a priority for people in many countries. In India, for example, sales of air-conditioning units are growing by 20 per cent each year.
With last year's report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stating that the number, frequency and intensity of hot days and heatwaves are increasing, and with entities such as the World Bank warning of a global temperature increase of four degrees Celsius by the end of the century, demand for air-conditioning is only likely to increase.
In this context, a UNIDO demonstration project that has helped convert a production line for residential air conditioners to ozone- and climate-friendly technology has clear relevance and importance.
The production line conversion took place at Midea, a manufacturing company that has one of the largest air-conditioner production set-ups in China. Midea's main products include residential air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and compressors. The air conditioner production line converted by UNIDO has a production output of 200,000 units per year.
Previously, Midea's air-conditioners used HCFC-22, an ozone-depleting substance and greenhouse gas, as refrigerant gas. The production line was converted from HCFC-22 to propane (R-290), a hydrocarbon which does not deplete the ozone layer and has a very low global warming potential. Moreover, the new optimized system at Midea has improved energy efficiency by 10-15 per cent, indirectly contributing to the mitigation of climate change.
The project, funded by the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol, contributes towards China's commitment to freeze the consumption of HCFCs by 1st January 2013, in line with the country's obligations under the Montreal Protocol. In addition, this project could have an important impact on the entire Chinese market since this alternative technology to HCFC-22 with minimal climate impact has been proven viable and can now be adopted by other refrigeration and air-conditioning manufacturers. The project has also significant demonstration value for the safe manufacturing, installation and servicing of products with flammable refrigerants.
Ultimately, the environmental impact of the project is the following:
- 240 tonnes of HCFC-22, or 13.2 tonnes of ozone-depleting potential, were phased-out;
- 967,490 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions will be reduced each year.
This demonstration project is pioneering and of great importance, since R-290 was the main technology chosen by China for the residential air-conditioning sector under its overall HCFC Phase-out Management Plan.
The conversion at Midea serves as example for many developing countries, opening a new door for further developing South-South cooperation. This experience is proving useful for other UNIDO projects in West Asia (Middle East and Near East), as well as in Africa.
In West Asian countries, the phase-out of HCFCs has become a challenge, as, at present, the most commonly employed alternatives to HCFC in the air-conditioning sector in the region have high global warming potentials. Therefore, UNIDO, in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has developed a project for countries in the region which aims to shed light on potential sustainable technologies for countries with high ambient temperatures.
This project will test the performance of alternatives to HCFCs with low global warming potential through the development of prototypes. The project will later facilitate the technology transfer and experience exchange of alternatives with low global warming potential in various air-conditioning applications operated in high ambient conditions. Midea's experience with R-290 is very important in order to demonstrate to West Asian countries the performance, as well as the efficiency and safety features, of the new system.
In late November 2013, UNIDO organized an expert group meeting for the national ozone units of 21 sub-Saharan African countries to discuss challenges and opportunities during the phase-out of HCFCs in Africa. A prototype air-conditioning unit was shipped form Midea in China to UNIDO's headquarters for the meeting. During this event, UNIDO and the German development agency, GIZ, demonstrated the functioning of the Midea air conditioning unit working with R-290. UNIDO was able to showcase the safety issues related to the operation, maintenance and servicing of R290 air conditioners. This was a valuable learning opportunity, which could lead to the replication of such similar projects in other countries and demonstrate the viability of green and safe technologies in the refrigeration sector.

34-year-old Rogelio Harris was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday when a search of his suitcase by federal agents turned up 45 Snickers bars full of meth.
The former military policeman was on his way to board a Delta flight to Tokyo when he was stopped by the feds. Inside his luggage the agents found a box made to look as though it contained Snickers candy bars. The bars themselves consisted of cellophane-wrapped meth coated in "a chocolate-like substance."
Harris tested positive for marijuana last year leading to an "other than honorable discharge" from the Navy. His passport claimed he was travelling "on an official assignment for the United States Government," but when confronted admitted that he was not.

"It seems strange to think that my violin was once a tree, but I do not know what else could have caught the music that lies within it, waiting for the touch. It must be centuries old, and through all those years it was the listening and the learning, weaving in with its growth the forest melodies to sing to generations yet unborn. Wind and wave and song of bird, crash of thunder, drip of rain, and mating-call-all these are in the fibre of my violin. And the thousand notes of sea and storm, the music of the waterfall and stream-what wonder that it is so nearly the human voice! There must have been a love story in that forest, for it sings love, love, and only love, though I do not remember of hearing it until I knew you. Perhaps you have taught it a new melody-stranger things have happened-and it has learned your lesson best.""Buried Music" From "Love Letters Of A Musician" by Myrtle Reed, Copyright 1898.
