PepsiCo expects most of its revenue growth to come from snacks
At least two-thirds of the revenue growth for PepsiCo will come from its snacks business, the company's chief financial officer said Thursday.
Hugh Johnston, speaking at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York Conference in Boca Raton, was speaking of snacks globally.
Still, the pronouncement bodes well for Plano-based Frito-Lay, the nation's largest snack maker.
The comment comes as consumers are shying away from high-calorie carbonated soft drinks.
PepsiCo, more so than its chief rival Coke, has worked for years to transform itself into a "food and beverage" company, which decreases its reliance on soft drink sales.
"The business mix will shift and will be weighted toward snacks more than we are today," saidJohnston.
Last week PepsiCo, the nation's second largest soft drink maker, said Frito-Lay was the 2012 profit leader for parent company.
Frito-Lay's operating profit grew 3.5 percent to $1.11 billion in the quarter that ended Dec. 29 and gained 1 percent for the year, to $3.65 billion.
The yearly tally put it ahead of the company's American beverage unit and operations abroad.

FINDLAY - One hundred years ago, April 15, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean. To commemorate the tragic event, Fort Findlay Playhouse is staging the Broadway musical "Titanic" at 8 p.m. today and Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday. Additional evening performances are at 8 p.m. April 19-21 and 26-28. Two more 5 p.m. matinees are April 22 and 29.
Forty-three cast members, some in multiple roles, take the personas of real people on the tragic voyage. They and additional fictional characters of all ages, social classes and occupations tell their individual stories of hope and courage in the face of disaster.
The audience gets a musical history lesson throughout the show, starting with the ship's designer, Thomas Andrews, performing the opening song. Captain E.J. Smith, the ship's owner, Mr. Ismay, and other officers are introduced. The captain, builder and owner congratulate themselves for their involvement with the maiden voyage of the magnificent vessel. Freight and supplies are loaded for the trip from Southampton to New York City.
The Fort Findlay set includes a gangplank that is lowered for crew, staff and passengers to board, starting with third-class. Three young Irish ladies, all named Kate, are among the first to board. The second-class passengers include Caroline Nevile and Charles Clark, who are eloping to America, and Alice Beane and her husband, Edgar, who owns a hardware store. Alice lingers on the deck to catch a glimpse of the wealthy socialites in first class. Desiring to "rub elbows" with them, she names everyone and recites their accomplishments in "The First Class Roster." The cast performs "There She Is" to describe the grandeur of "The Largest Floating Object" of its time, and sings "Godspeed Titanic" as the ship pulls away to its doom.
Once at sea, Ismay pressures the captain to increase the ship's speed in an effort to "create a legend" and arrive ahead of schedule. To placate Ismay, Smith agrees to switch from 19 knots to 20 knots. The orders are sent down to the boiler room, where Fred Barrett is stoking coal. "Barrett's Song" reveals how the stoker had taken the job to escape work in the coal mines, only to find it was not much different from working in the bowels of the ship.
The action shifts to the first class dining room where musicians are playing and the wait staff is catering to the guests arrayed in the fashions of the day. Ismay is pleased to learn that Smith has chosen the northern route to save time crossing the Atlantic, even though icebergs have been sighted and warnings have been issued.
While the first class travelers are consuming their extravagant dinners on the upper decks, the three Kates in steerage are sharing their hopes for a better life in the United States as a "Lady's Maid," a governess and a seamstress. The men aspire to become millionaires, engineers and businessmen. The third-class passengers take turns singing of their dreams in various languages.
In the ship's telegraph office, Harold Bride is trying to transmit messages from the first-class passengers while marveling at the possibilities of modern communication in "The Night Was Alive." When Barrett stops in to request a telegram be sent to his girl back home, Bride agrees to give him "a professional discount." Barrett sings "The Proposal" and prays for a safe return to his beloved.
Of course, the Titanic's tragic story is well known. The ocean liner and more than 1,500 people aboard found their final resting place at the bottom of the sea. The focus of Act Two is the evacuation of the "unsinkable" ship and the clash of egos who first denied the vessel was foundering and then blamed the disaster on conditions and people other than themselves. For all its engineering and amenities, the ship was lacking in lifeboats, and its design was flawed enough to permit ruin.
Bright relentlessly sends out distress signals and Andrews is depicted frantically re-designing the ship up until its final demise. The story is resolved as the survivors relate their experiences, discuss what might have been done to save the Titanic, and mourn their losses even as they express hope to be reunited with loved ones and to mend their broken dreams.
Martin Williams, a Ritz Player, Bettsville teacher and former Tiffin resident, is directing "Titanic," with his wife Cathy as producer. Aeryn Williams is music director and choreographer Julie Lane also portrays a second-class passenger.
Tickets are $15. They are available in advance from the Arts Partnership at (419) 422-4624. Remaining seats for each performance are to be sold at the door, but seating is limited. The theater is located at 300 W. Sandusky St., Findlay.

..."Then I heard the whistle," Edu said
Referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali had called it off.
Over and over, American players asked, "Why?"
In English. Then in French.
"He just ignored us," Landon Donovan said. "Or he didn't understand."
Perhaps Coulibaly, working his first World Cup game, will never explain himself. By the rules, he doesn't have to speak to the media on game days, and his next availability isn't until Monday. Perhaps it will remain one of those unsolved soccer mysteries.
I watched the game, and this was just a horribly officiated game by Coulibaly. Making terrible decisions, like this one, and the yellow card given to Findley for an "intentional handball" when it clearly smacked him right in the head! Yellow cards were handed out like crazy, and I just don't know what to make of the whole thing. Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist, never have been, but this ref's decisions, his arrogance, not responding to the players, not to mention blowing the final whistle at least what, 2-3 minutes earlier than what the stoppage time was suppose to be leads me to believe that this game was more about politics than the actual game.
I'm not making excuses for how we played, because we shouldn't have been down 0-2 in the first half to lead to a comeback, but the overall feel of this game just felt out of place to me from what else was going on. I know soccer will never trump the other sports in our country, but the amount of coverage it is getting and the support the team is getting makes me think that it'll at least gain more attention. But if we don't get out of this group because of "what could have been" from this game, then the sport itself will just take another big hit again in the U.S., which I would hate to see because I do like the sport and wish it was covered more here.

White House's Technology Push a Double-Edged Sword for Low-Wage Workers
The White House's annual Economic Report of the President pushes a raft of proposals designed to make the U.S. economy stronger and more productive in the long run. Some of them run the risk of making a subset of U.S. workers, who have been front and center for the White House lately, more vulnerable in the short run.
The report, released Monday by the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, puts a heavy focus on technology investment (alongside research and development, a patent-system overhaul and more) to boost productivity. It frames an entire chapter about productivity gains around the larger debate about widening income inequality, a concern that has propelled the White House's movement to raise the minimum wage and boost other programs designed to help low-wage workers.

Boosting productivity through technology has long been a double-edged sword for some American workers. Modern factory floors require fewer people to produce more goods. More robots and fewer humans now roam through warehouses. Call centers rely increasingly on computers to field calls and process payments. The displacement of lower-skilled workers in those roles has been a leading factor in the widening inequality seen since the 1970s.
Nobody would argue seriously against the benefits of technology to the overall economy in the long run. But are White House officials worried about the risks to low-wage workers?
"I think you absolutely have to worry," Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told reporters Monday. "Technological change offers an enormous opportunity for our economy. But it also, if done the wrong way, could lead to a big increase in inequality and potentially even a reduction in absolute wages for some."
"I think it also contains the solution to the challenge if done the right way," he added.
The productivity of U.S. workers has grown for decades, despite the challenges of globalization. The trouble for the economy is that the gains of that improved productivity have accrued disproportionately to higher-income Americans, as the White House showed here:
Much of the difference can be chalked up to education. "Some of the technological changes over the past three decades, especially those related to information technology, have raised the relative reward to skills obtained through advanced academic study," the report said. "Thus, the slowing growth of educational attainment both potentially slows innovation and increases inequality by raising the returns to the most highly educated workers."
Those same technological changes can support workers in the long run, and the report cites administration proposals to deploy high-speed Internet into classrooms and ensure more people can afford to access broadband.
The goal is to support education and training from preschool through college "so that more people have skills that complement those technologies rather than are substituted by those technologies," Mr. Furman said.

Closed Captioned
Conquer that stack of crocheted motifs and turn them into a beautiful finished project! Edie Eckman shows you creative ways to join granny squares, hexagons and other shapes with smooth seams and corners that don't pucker. You'll learn 11 different crocheted connections, including four join-as-you-go techniques, so when you're done, you're done! Use a crochet hook or yarn needle to make the joins invisible or work them in a contrasting color for design interest. Lacy filler and edge stitches add airiness to your project, and the ingenious Continuous Final Round lets you seam up your whole design with one piece of yarn. Add lots of new techniques to your crochet bag of tricks, with help from the author of The Crochet Answer Book. Plus, Edie's blanket pattern, featuring six pretty square variations, is included free!
Joining crocheted pieces can be fun. Get started with an overview of the invisible tapestry needle join, weaving in ends, and how to read square and section diagrams.
Simple, quick-to-learn seams are demonstrated, including the whipstitch, slipstitch seams and corners, and single-crochet seams and corners.
Learn a couple of combination seams: single-crochet chain combinations, and double-crochet, two together seams.
Save time and eliminate those growing piles of squares by joining them as you go. You'll learn three techniques: slip stitch, single crochet and flat JAYGo methods.
Edie's ingenious JAYGo hybrid allows you to join as you go, while keeping your project small and portable.
Another ingenious technique, the Continuous Final Round, lets you seam up your whole blanket project with a single piece of yarn. Edie also shows you some variations.
Filler stitches add texture, airiness and an extra design element to your project. You'll learn how to work lacy fillers between clusters of squares.
Seams can be pretty as well as practical. Edie shows you the finishing touches for your crocheted blanket project, including blocking, seaming and working the corners.
How do you join motifs that aren't square? Edie shows you how to work with hexagons, circles, triangles and other free-form motifs.
"Thoroughly enjoyed this class! I've been making simple granny squares a long time, but this class still had lots to teach me. In addition to the 11 or 12 joining techniques (many of which were new to me), I also improved in my chart reading, and invisible joins. Also learned a stitch, 'standing double crochet,' which I really like the look of and will enjoy using more. Just added Edie Eckman's new motif book to my wish list."

The 5 Stupidest Ways People Try to Look Smart
No one likes to seem smart more than stupid people. Unfortunately, being stupid, they're not particularly good at conveying intelligence. They flail around doing all the things they think smart people do -- adopting their tastes and opinions, and, ultimately, missing the point. Because in the end, it doesn't matter what your SAT scores are or what books you've read, being smart comes down to one thing: curiosity.
It's also good for killing cats.
But genuine intellectual curiosity leads to a life of self-reflection, research and debate. Why do all that work when there are millions of shortcuts that the world accepts as hallmarks of intelligence, regardless of mental mediocrity? Here are five things that misguided people do in failed attempts to seem smart.
#5. Mock the Notion of God
I know it's already too late for many readers. Being smart people, they failed to read the introduction, and now they're not even reading this. With all their wisdom, they saw the title and jumped to this numbered entry, and now they're down in the comments telling me how wrong I am before even reading. For the nine of you remaining, maybe you can tell them what they missed, because this is not some article praising Jesus or slamming atheists.
This attractive lady would appreciate it if you actually read this entry before commenting about it.
What I'm talking about is a pathetic and pervasive belief that somehow merely mocking the possibility of God equals intelligence. A frail, desperate hope that snorting and rolling your eyes at the notion of something more important than humanity conveys wisdom. It must, right? Because the only other alternative is being one of those feeble-minded believers. One of the sheeple, right, man? (And yeah, using the term "sheeple" is another telltale sign of not being smart.)
While there are certainly many intelligent atheists, the mere act of not believing will not increase IQ. As I've said before, reading Richard Dawkins is as likely to make you a genius as reading the Bible is to make you a saint. There are horrible believers, and there are mentally challenged atheists. Faith, or the lack thereof, has nothing to do with intelligence.
Even worse, so many of today's half-assed atheists pervert the words of older, more articulate atheists with flawed paraphrases they spew across social media. Bertrand Russell -- philosopher, logician and leading atheist -- was clearly a brilliant man, and he's famous for his "celestial teapot" argument regarding the burden of proof: "Nobody can prove that there is not between the Earth and Mars a china teapot revolving in an elliptical orbit, but nobody thinks this sufficiently likely to be taken into account in practice. I think the Christian God just as unlikely." The point is, Russell made that argument in response to Christianity. It was his way of saying, don't tell me I'm going to hell for not believing. If you're the one trying to convert and proselytize, then it's your burden of proof.
This attractive lady would like you to understand that Russell's teapot was a reaction to the proselytizing nature of the church.
That context seems lost on many today who feign intelligence while pimping their non-belief. After all, there are faiths that do not try to win new converts, and do not damn others for not adhering to their way of life. They don't need to hear how much smarter you think you are just because you're not open to the same possibilities. They have no burden of proof to convince you, because they're not asking you to believe. So spare them your Ricky Gervais quotes -- especially considering that he talks about God the way someone describes an ex-girlfriend they're "like totally over." And spare them your contempt. It makes you look many things, but smart isn't one of them.
#4. Pretend to Like Jazz
I like some jazz, but I'm far from an aficionado. That's why I do something when jazz comes up in conversation: I shut up. But stupid people hoping to seem smart? Holy shit. They will go to great lengths to explain how into jazz they are. They can't wait to tell you about it.
One day, I was walking across campus as a young lad, and (what's that you say? You'd like a picture? OK.) ...
I'm sorry. You don't think I want to keep posting these pics of myself, do you?
Anyway, I bumped into some dude I hadn't seen in awhile, and said hi, what's up, and all that. Then he turned to me with a wise smile and said, "Y'know, man, I'm really into jazz these days."
"Oh," I said. "I like some jazz, but I'm not really an expert."
"Nah, man. It's all about jazz. It's all I listen to now," he replied.
"Well, I don't know much," I continued, "but I do like Thelonious Monk."
Now, for those of you who know even less about jazz than I do, by all accounts Thelonious Monk is one of the most important musicians of all time. He is to jazz what Led Zeppelin is to rock, what Johnny Cash is to country and what Taylor Swift is to music that sucks wide open ass all the time.

"Thanks, Gladstone. I like you, too!"
So anyway, I say I like Thelonious Monk, and his reply?
He looked all confused and said, "Wha, Melodious Funk?"
Yes. Melodious Funk. True story. I swear. And because of that he is still the poster child for a moron trying to seem smart by pretending to like jazz.
#3. Correct Others' Trivial Mistakes
Stupid people love to show off their smarts by making corrections. It could be following up on your slip of the tongue, or disproving an old wives' tale, or playing semantics, but if it's a piece of minutia they've acquired by being awake in class for five seconds or maybe reading Cracked, then they'll be sure to seize the opportunity to make that correction. They say things like this:
Hey, man, technically, it's Frankenstein's MONSTER, not Frankenstein;
Dude, don't bother covering your eyes, it's the smell of onions that makes you cry; or
You don't have to wear a sweater in cold weather because you catch a cold from a virus, not from being cold!
"Technically, my name is actually Steven. Didn't know that? Well, you didn't think to ask, did you?"
And that might be true, but, on behalf of the rest of us, please stop speaking. Are you actually trying to teach us something? Do you really have a plethora of useful factoids filling your cranium from a lifetime of study? Or did you just jump on the one chance you'll have for weeks to impress us with wisdom small enough to be written on the palm of your hand in the cheat sheet of your life?

FAU Organizes Ninth Annual Summer Food Service Program
BOCA RATON , FL (May 12, 2008) – Students at the Florida Atlantic University Weppner Center for Civic Engagement and Service are currently preparing for their annual Summer Food Service Program. The program is 70 percent funded by a grant from the Florida Department of Education, and provides meals for eight summer camps in the Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach and Delray Beach areas during the months of June, July and August.
Nutritionally-balanced meals will be provided to all children, regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age or national origin, when breakfasts and lunches at school are not available. All children, ages 18 and under and enrolled at the qualifying camp sites, are eligible for meals at no charge. More than 600 underprivileged campers will benefit from the program this year alone.
The campers participating in this program are youths who receive free or reduced-price school lunches at area public schools during the school year. The summer food program provides relief to underprivileged families when faced with the financial burden of providing their children with adequate daycare and nutrition during the summer months.
There are several camps participating this year, including the Boys and Girls Club, G.A.T.E. Salvation Army, Milagro Center, Youth Activity Center, Pearl City Cats, West Side Park Recreational Center and Campo Alegre.
Area businesses, restaurants and individuals are asked to sponsor the program each year and, without them, this program would not be possible. Donations make a difference in enabling this program to get better quality food to more underprivileged children as the need increases. An account has been set up in the FAU Foundation to support this program. Make checks payable to the FAU Foundation / Summer Food Program and send to:
FAU Weppner Center for Civic Engagement and Service
777 Glades Rd, UN 207
Boca Raton, FL 33431
Donations also can be made online at universityadvancement.fau.edu. For more information, contact Monica Jara at 561-297-3607 or email@example.com.

How to identify if you have a Crazy Ant problem look at the video below, they have a very unique characteristics.
Rasberry Crazy Ant watch Them in action click on the video link
List of Common Characteristics to help determine if you have Rasberry crazy ants, provided by TAMU
If you see the appearance of many and the mean millions of uniformly-sized 1/8 inch long, reddish-brown ants in the landscape, grass
They will also forage indoors from outdoor nests.
These ants will form loose foraging trails as well as forage ( meaning in search of food) randomly (non-trailing) and crawl rapidly and erratically.
These Ant colonies are not built in centralized nests, neds or mounds, you will typically locate the queen and brrod under landscaping objects, like rocks, cross timbers, and piles of debris.
What exactly is the harm of the Crazy Ant?
Seems like mostly a nuisance and annoyance because of their sheer numbers. I cannot really imagine sitting outside with my pets and being swarmed by millions of these little crazy ants, but that is what has happened. They do not have stingers but can bite and the bite can be slightly painful.
Biting and medical implications to people, livestock and wildlife: Rasberry crazy ants do not have stingers. In place of a stinger, worker ants possess an acidopore on the end of the abdomen, which can excrete chemicals for defense or attack. They are capable of biting, and when bitten, they cause a relatively sharp pain that quickly fades.

The most beautiful homesteads are located at the entrance to the valley, around Diemtigen, and bear witness to an age when livestock farming brought great wealth. The houses are often widely scattered, a tradition that continues to this day – and which won the municipality of Diemtigen the Wakker Prize for architectural conservation in 1986. Visit in summer, when residents adorn their homes with window boxes, and their famously ornate gardens reveal all their flower-filled glory.
Besides the way through the anterior valley (Oey-Diemtigen-Oey) two additional theme paths lead through the central (Horboden - Rothbad - Horboden) and posterior (Zwischenflüh - Schwenden - Tiermatti) valley.

The members of St. Luke's Episcopal Church are looking at their upcoming homecoming as a time for a fresh start.
The event will be held at 10:15 a.m. Sept. 22 at the church with a luncheon after the service. As a prelude, a service of Choral Evensong will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 21.
The church is extending a welcoming spirit to former parishioners as well as people who want to explore the Episcopal faith, said member Jane Gable.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) Debbie Burgan, chairwoman of the hospitality committee at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, will welcome people at the church's homecoming. The church will invite former members to reminisce over photos and memorabilia of parish life and newcomers to learn more about the Episcopal faith.
During the last five years, the parish has been in transition with three interim priests serving St. Luke's since the departure of Pastor Christina Jillard in October of 2008.
The members of St. Luke are inviting back friends and fellow members to become reacquainted and to develop their plans to move forward.
"Come in and we'll talk," said member Joyce Remillard. "The Episcopal church is all about welcoming people in."
Remillard and her husband, Vince, had been members of another Christian faith tradition before joining St. Luke's a few years ago.
Remillard said they have experience a warmth at St. Luke's that they had not previously known.
"They put their arms around you and bring you in," she said.
"You are welcomed to have coffee after the service and always are included in conversations," she said. "You feel like you are part of the church."
Gable said it is in those conversations that the church wants to engage former members as it goes forward - to let everyone know they have a voice in St. Luke's future.
"We are not judging, come on in," said Remillard, referring to some people's hesitation to try again.
Both members said that the church has gone through some difficult times, especially without a permanent or seated priest.
After the last interim priest left in March, the celebration of the Eucharist has been sporadic with supply pastors filling the pulpit when possible.
When no priest is present, the members gather for a prayer service.
Remillard said people miss not taking part in Holy Communion, and it can affect attendance.
But the congregation is changing that.
Beginning Oct. 6, St. Luke's will have a supply pastor present for Holy Communion every Sunday through December, Gable said.
She is a member of the search committee. She said it is seeking an interim rector, and after a period of time, the committee will seek a permanent rector. Gable said the goal of the committee is to include input from other members of St. Luke's.
"People's opinions count," she said.
Beyond its Sunday services, the church is looking to enrich people's spiritual lives by offering a class to adults based on the historic Jesus video, said Remillard, publicity and marketing chairwoman. The course will be taught by her husband, Vincent Remillard, a retired language professor, whose avocation is history and religious studies.
Gable said St. Luke's is looking to explore ways to expand its children's education programs, too.
"It's important for families," she said.
Helping St. Luke's with its renewal is the Rev. Canon Robyn Szoke-Coolidge, who will be the celebrant for the service. She is canon for formation and dean of the Diocesan School of Christian Studies for the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania.
She has been working with St. Luke's in its efforts to rejuvenate the parish.
Gable said the homecoming is not only an invitation for people to return but an opportunity for people who are seeking a spiritual home to explore St. Luke's.
"The Episcopal church is open to everybody," Gable said.
She said it has a history of social justice and its outreach ministries, liturgy and music appeal to young adults.
In the Anglican tradition, the two-day event will begin with music or a Choral Evensong service.
Jim Dengler, organist and choirmaster for St. Luke's, said it follows the Book of Common Prayer.
"It is held every evening at Westminster Abby," Gable said. The sacred service of song, prayer and canticles focuses on meditation.
While the choir sings during most of the service, the congregation participates during the procession, recession and responses.
"Everybody has a role," Remillard said.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Biovail Laboratories has given back U.S. and Canadian rights covering AZ-004 (Staccato® loxapine) to Alexza Pharmaceuticals. This follows FDA's issuance of a complete response letter earlier this month related to the AZ-004 NDA for the treatment of agitation in schizophrenia or bipolar disorder patients, in which the agency voiced some safety concerns and requested additional clinical data.
With the termination of the deal with Biovail, Alexza intends to seek one or more pharmaceutical partners for the worldwide development and commercialization of the candidate. The companies initiated their partnership in February, after Alexza had submitted the NDA for AZ-004. Biovail paid Alexza $40 million up front for U.S. and Canadian rights to the compound in multiple indications.
In September Valeant Pharmaceuticals completed its acquisition of Biovail. The decision to not continue the AZ-004 project came after reviewing the merged company's pipeline, according to Alexza.
The Staccato system vaporizes unformulated drug to form a condensation aerosol that, when inhaled, allows for rapid systemic drug delivery through deep lung inhalation. AZ-004 is Alexza's lead program, and the firm reported positive results from both its Phase III trials.
An NDA was submitted in December 2009. Alexza received a complete response letter for AZ-004 earlier this month in which the FDA stated safety concerns related to data from three Phase I pulmonary safety studies with AZ-004. The study revealed dose-related post-dose decreases in forced expiratory volume in one second.
The agency also noted that decreases in FEV1 were recorded in subjects who were administered device-only, placebo versions of AZ-004. Alexza states that there were no serious or severe respiratory adverse events in these trials or in the two Phase III trials. All respiratory symptoms that developed after treatment in the Phase I subjects with COPD and asthma were either self-limiting or readily managed with an inhaled bronchodilator, the firm adds.
The complete response letter also raised issues relating to the suitability of the stability studies undertaken by Alexza and certain other items relating to the agency's recently completed pre-approval manufacturing inspection.
Because AZ-004 incorporates a novel delivery system, the letter also included input from FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), which requested a human factors study and related analysis to validate that the product can be used effectively in the proposed clinical setting. CDRH also requested further bench testing of the product under an additional worst-case manufacturing scenario.

Wikileaks aired
hundreds of thousands of classified documents on the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars that were stolen from the U.S Military, and
shared 250,000
stolen classified U.S. State Department cables with The
New York Times and
other news organizations worldwide. The website certainly
irritated the governments of U.S., China, Britain and many other
organizations worldwide. They moved to cut off the site's
funding, first convincing Amazon to throw
it off its hosting platform, then working with Paypal to sever
its primary source of funding. But
when Wikileaks yesterday
published a list of top
targets to hurt U.S. national security, the site seemingly sealed
its own fate. Its Swiss bank account was closed,
and Wikileaks reportedly
lost the money in it (the bank contended that Wikileaks founder
Julian Assange lied in the paperwork, saying he resided in
Switzerland, which he does not).Now the DNS Company, the web
listing organization which provided Wikileaks with
the right to use the domain name "wikileaks.org",
has terminated its
affiliation with the site. That means that attempts to reach
the site by domain name no longer succeed.The site also
lost another
hosting service -- EveryDNS.net -- and has jumped to a mix
of Swiss and French hosting at the present. But France's
government is already moving to ban the site from its nations
servers.Meanwhile the site is under a distributed denial of
service attack from
a "hacktivist" who goes by the moniker The Jester – or
"th3 j35t3r". On his Twitter feed, The Jester writes,
"TANGO DOWN - for attempting to endanger the lives of our
troops, 'other assets' & foreign relations."An
earlier attack exceeded a modest 2-4 Gbps, but a Tuesday attack was
even more potent, reaching a mean 10 Gbps.About the only way
to get to Wikileaks these days is via a Google search, which comes up
with its direct IP address, which is occasionally reachable,
depending on the current volume of fake service requests.Facing
the possibility of his masterwork being taken offline and complete
loss of funding, Wikileaks founder
Julian Assange surrendered
to authorities in Britain on Swedish rape charges unrelated
to the recent leaks. He has warned his followers that if
anything happens to him while he is imprisoned, that a secret key
will be released which will unlock a distributed archived file
containing all the site's unreleased secrets.One of Mr.
Assange's accusers in the Swedish sex crimes trial coincidentally
has ties
to the CIA. Mr. Assange was denied
bail, as he is to be extradited to Sweden for questioning on
outstanding allegations of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion.
When asked if he understood the ruling, he commented, "I
understand that and I do not consent."Apparently the
matter was not left up to his determination.
quote: The last thing they want is whistleblowing to become a 'positive global phenomenon'. They need to make sure everyone knows their life will be hell if they step out of line.Also it will help them bring in new censorship laws to curb more forms of dissent and unrest.In the end it will play into the hands of the corporate overlords.

RAVENEL — Two children playing a game of hide-and-seek found a body Friday in a wooded area little more than a stone's throw from U.S. 17.
The man was discovered behind a vacant house with busted-out windows down Roper Road Extension.
Tearful neighbors were stunned by the death.
"Oh, Lord, it can't be true. It's like a mystery thing," said Arthur Brown, who described himself as a lifelong friend of the deceased, who was identified by the Charleston County Coroner as James Butler, 67.
"He was a nice old fellow. He didn't bother anybody," Brown said.
The death is being investigated as a homicide, according to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office.
Charleston County Deputy Coroner Scott Ramsey said the cause of Butler's death had not been determined.
Friends, family and neighbors gathered Friday down a dirt road where Butler lived in a trailer. A spokesman for the family said they would have no comment.
Butler's residence was across Savannah Highway from where his body was found.
Brown said a neighbor went to Butler's house to get a jump for a car battery. There was no answer at the home, and the neighbor saw blood in Butler's truck. At that point, authorities were called, Brown said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111 or the Charleston County Sheriff's Office at 843-202-1700.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Stetson University women's tennis team made it 10 straight trips to the Atlantic Sun Championship semifinals, with its 4-0 over No. 5 Mercer, Thursday afternoon.
The women have now played on the tournament's second day every year, dating back to 2005 and it was fittingly A-Sun Player of the Year, Diana Bukajeva, who clinched the shutout victory.
Bukajeva won in straight sets over the Bears' Danielle Jones, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3), to give the Hatters their 17th victory this season and their second over Mercer in less than a month. Bukajeva improved her 2014 singles record to an impressive 18-4.
Stetson began the match taking the first two doubles pairings to go ahead 1-0. Bukajeva and MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell won 8-4 on court No. 1, and then Eveline Lepinay and her partner Lindsey Cable were victorious on No. 3, 8-4 to put their team out in front.
Stauffer-MacDowell was the first to finish in singles play as she triumphed 7-5, 6-3 on court No. 4. Isabella Fernandez gave Stetson a commanding 3-0 advantage with her 6-4, 6-3 win on court No.3, setting the stage for Bukajeva's clincher.
The Hatters, now 17-5 will next take on No. 1 seed and host North Florida, tomorrow on their home courts. Both teams met up in the regular season, Mar. 22 in DeLand, where the Ospreys were victorious 5-2. Stetson will look to even the season series, Friday at 12 p.m. at the UNF Tennis Complex in Jacksonville.
Live stats for the UNF match will be available via the Atlantic Sun's official website. Gohatters.com will have Stetson recaps and atlanticsun.org will provide comprehensive championship coverage with up to date brackets and records. Fans can also follow @StetsonTennis on Twitter, as well as sign up for Hat-Alerts, the athletic department's official text messaging system for match updates.

MARTINSBURG - As a young teenager during World War II, 82-year-old Massachusetts native and Korean War veteran Sam Boynton wanted nothing more than to enlist in the armed forces and join the war overseas.
With three brothers already in the service, however, his father refused, telling him that he would only let him go if he were to be drafted.
Determined, Boynton, who now lives in Martinsburg, left school at the age of 16 and got a job helping build Liberty ships at a shipyard in Rhode Island as part of the massive effort to support the Allied cause. Every day he made the 40-mile drive from his home in Fall River, Mass., to Providence, where he worked as a welder helping manufacture the massive ships.

Sam Boynton is shown at his home recounting his time overseas during World War II.

U.S. Army Sgt. Samuel E. Boynton at the age of 25.
"The reason I quit school was at that time I wanted to do something for the country. I couldn't go into the service, so I worked in the shipyard," Boynton, who turns 83 in October, said. "I really enjoyed doing that. That was a morale factor. The morale was always high in the shipyard."
At the tender age of 18, Boynton's wish to join the service was granted when he was drafted in December 1945. He would later be stationed in Panama for his first Army assignment - performing maintenance on weapons that had malfunctioned. While he received credit for serving in World War II, he didn't see actual combat action until he arrived in Korea in 1950, during which he served in the infantry and took part in offenses such as the the invasion of Inchon.
The Battle of Inchon, which began as an amphibious assault in September 1950, ended a string of victories by the invading North Korean People's Army and began a counterattack by American and United Nations forces that led to the recapture of Seoul.
Boynton was a member of Fox Company in the 32nd Infantry Regiment, which was part of the 7th Infantry Division that provided combat support for U.S. Marines during the invasion.
"The Marines went in the night before. When we landed in Inchon, we walked maybe 2 or 3 miles and on the right side they had these mattress covers laying there and it was all the Marines killed the night before. There were about 200 or 300 bodies there," Boynton said.
Boynton was an assistant platoon sergeant at the time, and he and his fellow infantrymen provided support for the Marines and other combat forces who ultimately recaptured Seoul before beginning the push into North Korean territory.
"From the time we made Inchon and from Inchon up it wasn't until about seven months later that we finally we were able to take a shower," Boynton said. "That's just the way the situation was. It was an experience you would never forget."
It was during the fighting in North Korea that Boynton was fortunate not to have been killed or wounded during what is his most vivid memory of the conflict. He and his men had come under a mortar attack from enemy forces. The mortars came in so fast, Boynton said that you couldn't see them.
"But when you heard the thump, you knew it was going to come and you didn't know where. When it comes that's it. One round hit about maybe 15 feet away from me," Boynton said.
A stunned Boynton fell into a foxhole, the mortar blast knocking his helmet off. When he picked up his helmet again, he said there was a piece of steel in it about 3 or 4 inches wide.
"I was very fortunate. The helmet never come off after that. It stayed on my head until I left there," he said.
Boynton, who was in his early 20s when he fought in the Korean War, was considered an old man by his fellow infantrymen, many of whom were only 18 years old at the time. While they stuck together during combat, Boynton made it a point not to get too close to his fellow soldiers after witnessing the aftereffects of combat.
"This is funny. After you see the dead, you change a lot. I didn't get too close with the guys. Before that I did, but after seeing these guys that had died, it's a different ballgame," he said. "You don't get too close, but you never forget them. You can't forget them."
Another vivid memory was the result of orders from Boynton's company commander. The soldiers were told to get moving into a village that was in danger of coming under attack by North Korean forces. Boynton and his men marched for more than five hours, but when they finally arrived at the village it was too late.
"When we got there the village was wiped out by the North Koreans. They killed them all - whole families, fathers and mothers," Boynton said.
Despite the loss of so many American lives, the Korean War would unfortunately receive the moniker of "The Forgotten War," something Boynton experienced personally upon returning home in 1951. Unlike World War II, there were no victory parades or welcome home celebrations. Many people, Boynton said, acted as if there was no war going on at all.
"It's rough. It's really hard to be honest with you. It was a rough situation," he said.
After returning home to the states, Boynton initially left the service for a year. He later rejoined, however, at the insistence of his father due to the lack of employment back home. He was assigned to what was known then as the Brooklyn Army Base, where his job was escorting the bodies of war dead back to their respective homes.
"They precisely wanted men who had been in combat, and that's what most of us were. If you wore the combat infantry badge they would assign you there," Boynton said.
While it was an admittedly difficult job, Boynton said he enjoyed his service while stationed at the Army base in Brooklyn. Boynton would have a similar assignment during the three years he later served in Vietnam as a quartermaster. There he was assigned to a unit tasked with retrieving wounded troops and soldiers killed in action from helicopters. Much like his earlier assignment after the Korean War, it was an emotionally difficult experience. In one case, Boynton remembered speaking to a soldier who arrived in Vietnam just three weeks earlier. The man's brother, who was killed in less than six months after arriving in the country, was among the bodies Boynton had retrieved that day.
"You don't know what to say. You just say I'm sorry and that's it," Boynton said.
Boynton eventually retired after 23 years of service in the military. He later went to work for General Motors after a good friend and Korean War buddy, Bill Nicholas, was able to get him a job. Boynton, who worked for GM for about 20 years in the area, moved to Martinsburg in 1972.
Looking back on his service, he said he is proud of what he and his other soldiers, whom he will never forget, were able to do during the Korean War.
"That was my duty to do that - to serve my country," he said.

Struggling art gallery looks for solutions
November 16, 2013
BUCKHANNON — More than 30 artists, business leaders and community members joined forces this week to craft a new solution to the ongoing struggles facing the Main Street Art Gallery in Buckhannon,......
Did the citizens ask for this junk called art? NO! I rest my case.
WHy would they think we would support it in the first place? Stop whining and there's always ebay; etsy; amazon; your own website to sell your wares. Stop whining and DO something about it. This stuff doesn't interest farmers, country folk. Most of these artists don't 'consider' "who" they are selling to. You don't sell Eskimos ice...and you wouldn't go to NYC and sell them farm equipment. Use your heads for something besides hanging your hat on.

Pure, I've lived in the state most of my life. If being educated, cultured and wanting things for our state that will keep us in line with progress makes me a snob, I guess I'm a WV snob. Not that I give a rat's behind about what you think. Maybe you should go back to your holler and hide you head, cause change is coming......

Don't need any educational type things in WV either, huh Puremajix?? Go back to the sticks and stay as ignorant as you are. All these things you complain about are about progress and it's going to happen no matter what you think so you better do what you can to make the best of it. Our children are leaving this state because there are no opportunities here and little recreational things to do. Just because somebody is educated and enjoys cultural things doesn't make them a snob either. Yes we do need all that you can't stand because if we don't move a little bit with progress we might as well close our WV borders because nobody will want to live her anyhow.

|Resonant Soft X-Ray Scattering of Tri-Block Copolymers
In principle, tri-block copolymers (tri-BCPs), consisting of three chemically distinct polymers covalently joined together at the ends of each polymer chain, can serve as scaffolds and templates for fabricating a vast number of nanostructures. While quantitatively understanding the details of the morphology and the manner in which the different blocks interact with surfaces and interfaces is critical to success, previous experiments have been few. Now, an international team from the United States, Korea, and Japan has succeeded in combining resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSoXS) at ALS Beamline 11.0.1 with transmission electron microscopy tomography (TEMT) and other techniques to unambiguously determine morphologies comprising two nested hexagonally packed arrays of nanoscopic, cylindrical microdomains in the bulk and a core-shell nanostructure in a thin film. Not only has this work revealed a new phase of ABC tri-block copolymer with complicated morphology, it has illustrated the importance of RSoXS as a unique, powerful tool for examining complex, multi-component systems that could not be characterized with conventional methods.
By selectively removing one of the components or by phase-selective chemistries, polymer scientists today can use di-block copolymers (di-BCPs) in either bulk or thin-film forms as templates or scaffolds for synthesizing nanostructured materials that are finding applications in magnetic storage, dielectric insulation, thermoelectrics and separations media, to name a few. Yet, by simply attaching one more polymer that is chemically distinct from the other blocks to the end of the di-BCP and by incorporating specific functionality into the different blocks, researchers can enormously expand the range of well-defined designer-specified morphologies. Tri-BCPs and multi-block BCPs are being considered for use in applications ranging from fuel-cell membranes to hybrid biomolecular materials to structured electrolytes for lithum-ion batteries and supercapacitors.
While there have been extensive studies of di-BCPs, there have been far fewer of tri-BCPs, either in the bulk or in thin films, owing to the more demanding synthesis involved, the complexities of the morphologies, and the inability of available techniques to quantitatively distinguish the different blocks. The recent development of RSoXS, which combines the elemental and bonding sensitivity of soft x-ray spectroscopy with conventional x-ray scattering methods, provides a novel tool for unambiguously deciphering the complex morphologies of tri-BCPs and even more complex multi-block copolymers.
Tuning the x-ray photon energies to match the absorption spectrum of the different components in the tri-BCP isolates the scattering contributions from the different polymer blocks without any additional chemical labeling, enabling a glimpse into these complex morphologies with unprecedented detail. Moreover, by taking advantage of the inherent polarization of the synchrotron beam, the orientation of each block relative to the film interfaces and to each other can be determined independently, providing yet another key for unlocking structure–property relationships.
In testing RSoXS on the tri-block copolymer IS2VP, which consists of poly(1,4-isoprene) (PI), polystyrene (PS), and poly(2-vinlypyridine) (P2VP) in the bulk and in thin films, the team found a novel bulk structure consisting of two nested, hexagonal arrays of P2VP and PI microdomains. The P2VP cylindrical microdomains were hexagonally packed on the larger of the two lattices and surrounded by six small cylindrical PI domains located at the interstitial sites of the P2VP lattice.
The researchers complemented their RSoXS measurements with scanning force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, small-angle x-ray scattering, and grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering. For example, transmission electron microscopy tomography (TEMT) provided an independent assessement of the local structure of the IS2VP triblock copolymer in the form of a three-dimensional image of the morphology. Reconstructing the images at different tilt angles of the sample with respect to the incident electron beam yielded the 3D structure.

Because of the amount of time one of these vehicles spends on the road in a given day, even incremental improvements in costs per mile have a huge impact on cost savings. CD-adapco's solutions for the ground transportation industry has its greatest effect on the design and operation of various commercial vehicles in such areas as:
Aerodynamic drag on a semi-rig is one of the largest components determining the fuel efficiency of the car. While some drag will always be present, a 5% reduction can have a major impact on fuel economy, helping passenger cars meet minimum fuel efficiency requirements set out by the United States and most European countries. STAR-CCM+ is the premier CFD simulation software, optimized to performing external aerodynamic analysis.
Drivers of long haul units such as 18 wheelers spend hours each day in the vehicle. Driver comfort can have an enormous impact on operation, keeping the driver's attention on the road. Companies that design well thought out environmental systems have an enormous advantage over those that don't. With STAR-CCM+, a quick, accurate examination of the HVAC and pumping system is easy and cheap to perform, saving valuable time from needing to test the prototype cabin's environment.
Semi-rigs are often driven in colder climates in which fogging and icing inevitably occurs. For the safety of the passengers and those around the truck, the truck cabins must be able to clear fog and ice quickly, effectively, and continually. STAR-CCM+ is well validated to examine all icing and fogging problems, and explore solutions quickly and easily.
A commercial vehicle necessarily uses its powertrain heavily. Not only does the engine need to produce the power to haul several tons of goods, but it has to do it in a fuel efficient manner while accumulating a very high mileage count. STAR-CCM+ has a full combustion simulation package called DARS, in addition to standard Fluid flow packages, allowing the full simulation of the combustion cycle of an engine. In addition, STAR-CD and es-ice are the industry leaders in simulation of full engines, including faithful simulation of the moving parts, such as engine pistons, allowing for the complete simulation and analysis of a car engine.
STAR-CCM+ is ideal for all Thermal analysis and management needs, able to take time sensitive thermal data from STAR-CD and es-ice to create a model for doing thermal management analysis. STAR-CCM+ is the industry leader in all CFD related simulations, and you can count on it to help improve and optimize your thermal flow quickly, efficiently, and easily.

Few people have combined their love for art and education as successfully and prominently as Willis Sanders.
His first memory of creating art is drawing on paper bags in his parents' grocery store at the age of 11 or 12. That was decades ago at Sanders Grocery in Cross.
After 41 years, Sanders will not "retire" but rather "transition" out of the Berkeley County School District and into a new chapter. He's been a math teacher, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent of personnel/human resources and employee relations specialist at the BCSD.
From the time his father showed him Norman Rockwell's work in the "Saturday Evening Post," Sanders said he wanted to be like Rockwell.
"Dad said, 'Willis, do you know anyone that makes a living as an artist?'" Sanders recalled.
While spending time in his father's store as a youngster, Sanders' ability to work with people – and his ability at math – was apparent.
Sanders graduated from Central High School, now Cross High School, as valedictorian in 1967. He declined an offer from an art college in Connecticut and studied math at Benedict College in Columbia. He attended art history classes there.
"I got a low lottery number for the (Selective Service System) draft," Sanders said. "My number was 76. I'll never forget that."
He said he received a deferment because he was in college and maintained his grades. By the time he graduated in 1971, the U.S. troop level in Vietnam was declining, but Sanders could not find a job due to his draft classification.
He returned to Cross and managed Sanders Grocery from June 1971 to January 1972. He saw Howe Hall Middle School was looking for a sixth-grade math teacher.
"I had a degree in math, not education," he said. "They had a program where I could teach and take education classes. I knew math."
Sanders started working on his master's degree at S.C. State University. He drove from Cross where he lived to Goose Creek to teach, and then to Orangeburg to take classes.
In 1976 he became assistant principal at Howe Hall Middle School. The entire staff moved to Sedgefield Middle School, where Sanders was principal from 1981 to 1995.
"In my first year as principal, I thought I need to think of something unique and original," he said. "I was drawing some. Kids saw it, and asked if I'd draw (for them)."
He told students if they made good grades, had good attendance, good conduct and received a "gold medal" for making the principal's "A" honor roll, he would do just that.
The drawings were incentive for students. Gold winners would receive an original Sanders drawing: "That's how I started incorporating art into education. Nobody was doing anything like that."
The rewards program became so popular that sponsors such as Hawthorn Aviation joined to give students airplane rides over Charleston if their name was drawn from the "gold basket."
At assemblies Sanders would bring guest speakers such as Warren Peper, Bill Walsh, Henry Brown, Mary Thornley and former Charleston Police Chief Rueben Greenburg.
One of Sanders' students was Phillip Obie, who now serves on the Berkeley County School Board.
In March 1995 Sanders and then elementary school supervisor Jane Pulling took a trip to Oxford, England. He said they were on the rural Oxford University campus for two weeks.
In 1995 Sanders became the district's assistant superintendent of personnel (later rechristened human resources). He kept drawing and giving artwork to students and teachers of the year.
"The acceptance and appreciation of my drawings made me do more. Then I started winning awards. I love to draw and share my work. It has always been my passion."
Sanders chuckles that his brothers used to tease him for drawing in the dirt.
Over the years he has given away thousands of signed prints – and that's a conservative guess, he said. Sanders autographs each print individually rather than copying the autograph.
Sanders said he gives away art to further the mission of the school district.
"What's best for our children?" he said. "That's our mission. It's not about us. Every organization has a mission.
"As my dad used to say, 'Whatever job you have, do your best and the rest will take care of itself.'
"If you have a talent use it to motivate and inspire others."
After his father lost his life to diabetes, Sanders donated art to the American Diabetes Association and more charities after his wife passed away from cancer in 1999.
"Anything charitable, I'll give an original," he said. "That whole time drawing was therapeutic . . . dealing with that tragedy."
His late wife taught at College Park Elementary School. The library there has a Lily C. Sanders memorial section where a fund is set up so anyone can donate books. For the last 14 years he's given the school a drawing.
Sanders is known for pen and ink pointillism drawings sometimes embellished with watercolors. His rendition of the Angel Oak tree has remained popular.
"There was nobody doing pointillism."
Since March 2012 his drawings have had the theme of "HeART," with subtly hidden hearts.
"Love is the whole purpose of the heart," he said. "Love what you do, love others. Everything's about the heart."
One of his most recent works, completed in March, is "Glenda's Magnolia," named after BCSD Associate Superintendent of Human Resources Glenda Levine, who is filling Sanders' vacancy. He said Levine found the hidden hearts right away.
Sanders gave copies of the magnolia pointillism with a green and purple watercolor background to the receptionists of all 41 county schools. He told them to look at themselves as one petal on the magnolia – symbolizing their part in the team. The pointillism dots could represent children.
Sanders' message to students is pay attention to detail and stay focused to be successful.
