In keeping with the Batman theme, the Grammy winner, 30, was sporting a black dress and black boots, with a black clutch. Earlier in the evening, she posted a photo to Twitter, "channeling my inner Cat Woman" before the show.
On the carpet, she and Cibrian, 39, firmly held hands as they posed for photos with Mason, 9, and Jake, 5.

All four had mustaches inked on their index fingers, and at one point they posed for photos laughing and holding up their fingers to their noses.
Rimes checked into treatment at the end of August, but took a break to uphold her commitment to perform some concerts in the Midwest. She has a number of shows scheduled for the next three months, beginning with a swing through New England in October.

When Microsoft first announced the Zune
HD, one of the things that left many of us scratching our heads was
the fact that the portable media device wouldn't
launch with a 64GB option. At the time, it was well hypothesized
that the third generation iPod touch would ship with such an option
-- it
did -- leaving Microsoft without an effective counterpunch.
Six months after the Zune
HD launch, it now appears that Microsoft is finally getting
around to adding a 64GB model to its Zune HD lineup. Engadget
got word that a link to the 64GB model has been added to the
Zune website. However, the link is currently not active meaning
that Microsoft probably isn't quite ready to make an official
Current MSRPs for the 16GB and 32GB
Zune HDs are $219 and $289 respectively, although retailers like
Amazon.com have them listed for a low $169
and $239
respectively. For comparison, Apple's 32GB and 64GB third generation
iPod touch models feature MSRPs of $299 ($258)
and $399 ($343).
Microsoft's Zune HD features an NVIDIA
Tegra HD processor, 480x272 OLED display, 720p video output, and an
HD radio receiver.
quote: Except the fatal flaw in your proposition is that not all of those people will purchase the product, especially with the competition coming from Apple.
quote: Marketing campaigns are very expensive, Microsoft isn't going to launch 10 marketing campaigns just for the privilege for selling to 200 million people.
quote: Just sayin', its not just a simple easy process, or they would be for sale everywhere from day one.
quote: And anyway, there's the internet. If you really wanted one, there are plenty of options. So don't make it sound like your sitting on the edge of your seat just waiting for the Zune HD to show up at your local electronics store.
quote: Why are you blaming Microsoft for this ?
quote: You of all people should be well aware of Australia's anti-capitalist anti-trade policies.
quote: There are SEVERAL products that the rest of the world take for granted that still aren't available in Australia, and when they are, cost significantly more in Australia.
quote: This whole thread is retarded. Please do some research on your own country.
quote: Because they have been slow to release a product world wide? As a consumer, I have every right to complain. :)
quote: Oh please, Australia is one of the most Laissez-faire capitalistic countries in the world. (Means Industry's are relatively free from state intervention).
quote: And we have several products locally here that are not available else-where or aren't as prevalent, like Vegemite and the Holden Commodore, and Aussie rules footy'.
quote: I know in self-centered fantasy land, where you apparently live, real world considerations don't get a second thought. But maybe, just MAYBE, there is a limit to just how fast a new product can be produced in bulk for the entire planet?
quote: Yeah until someone tries bringing something INTO Australia. Research your own country.
quote: Ok, instead of conceding I made a point, you deflect it with this meaningless response. Has NOTHING to do with the topic.
quote: As a consumer, I have every right to complain. :)
quote: Ok Steve. You're a child throwing a fit because you aren't having your way. That's what your OP and this whole thread boils down to. This:
quote: Yes, we get that. But what you don't get or care about, is that there are more considerations going on in business than your needs and wants. Sorry, that's life.
quote: p.s what's stopping you from E-baying or Amazon'ing one online by the way ? OH that's right ! Australia, a titan of capitalism and trade according to you, doesn't have Amazon.com !
quote: All I want is the Zune, and I wanted it here years ago, not years later (And still waiting).
quote: Whaa. WHAAAAA !!! *hands Steve tissues*
quote: Anyway jokes aside, aren't you too busy wrestling crocodiles and stuff to be worried about an MP3 player ?

DETROIT -- Forward Kris Draper will announce his retirement following 17 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday at an 11 a.m. news conference at Joe Louis Arena.
The team has announced the news conference will include Draper and general manager Ken Holland. A source confirmed that Draper, 40, will announce his retirement.
Draper has been one of the NHL's premier grinders and penalty killers for the past two decades.
Former Red Wings assistant general manager Doug MacLean acquired Draper from the Winnipeg Jets on June 30, 1993 for future considerations, which turned out to be $1.
Draper wound up playing 1,157 games, picking up 161 goals and 203 assists for 364 points.
He ranks fifth on the Red Wings' all-time list for games played (1,137), behind only Gordie Howe, Steve Yzerman, Alex Delvecchio and Nicklas Lidstrom.
Draper appeared in 222 playoff games for Detroit (24 goals, 22 assists), second only to Lidstrom in franchise history.
Draper was one of five players to play for the Red Wings' four most-recent Stanley Cup championship teams (1997, 1998, 2002 and 2008). The others are Lidstrom, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty and Tomas Holmstrom).
Draper centered the highly effective Grind Line, with Maltby and McCarty (Joe Kocur was an original member), for many seasons.
Draper's best season was 2003-04, when he recorded career highs in goals (24) and points (40) despite playing only 67 games due to a late-season shoulder injury. He won the Selke Trophy that season as the NHL's top defensive forward.
A third-round pick of the Jets in 1989 (62nd overall), Draper played only 20 games over parts of three seasons in Winnipeg.
Draper hoped to play another season with the Red Wings, but the club does not have an available roster spot, already having 23 players under contract. Draper was not interested in signing a two-way deal or coming to training camp on a tryout.
He is expected to receive a job within the organization.

Jets basted by Patriots at home
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Brady and the New England Patriots put this game — and the New York Jets' ugly season — away early.
At least it was competitive for a quarter. By halftime, it was a big-time laugher.
Brady threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score as the Patriots thoroughly embarrassed the Jets with a 35-point second quarter in a 49-19 victory Thursday night.
After a scoreless opening quarter, the Patriots (8-3) went on a touchdown spree despite holding the ball for only 2:14 as they took advantage of several mistakes by Rex Ryan's hapless Jets (4-7). Their 35 second-quarter points tied for the fourth-most in a quarter in NFL history.
Fans were chanting for Tim Tebow to play before the second quarter of this Thanksgiving showdown was over, and booing as the team left the MetLife Stadium field at halftime.
New England, which beat Indianapolis 59-24 on Sunday, scored four touchdowns in just over 6 minutes — including three in a jaw-dropping 52-second span — helping Bill Belichick become the eighth coach in NFL history with 200 career victories, including the playoffs.
Julian Edelman returned a fumble for a touchdown and caught a 56-yard pass for a score before leaving with a head injury. Wes Welker and Shane Vereen had touchdown catches, Steve Gregory returned a fumble for a score, and Stevan Ridley ran for a touchdown.
The Patriots improved to 19-0 in the second half of the season since 2010. They were 8-0 that year and last year, and are 3-0 this season after the midway point.
Meanwhile, the Jets allowed their most points since giving up 52 to Miami in the 1995 season opener, and will likely have to win all of their remaining five games to even have an outside chance at the post-season.
New England was without star tight end Rob Gronkowski, out a few weeks after breaking his left forearm in the win Sunday against Indianapolis. They didn't need him — not with the Jets fumbling and bumbling around.
Brady finished 18 of 28 for 323 yards before leaving with 2 minutes left in the game. He reached 3,000 yards passing for the 10th time, becoming one of six players to accomplish the feat. He also passed Dan Fouts for 10th place on the career passing list.
Tight end Aaron Hernandez returned after missing three games with a sprained ankle and had two catches for 36 yards.
New York's Mark Sanchez was 26 of 36 for 301 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Tebow didn't play at all — nursing sore ribs that made him questionable for the game — and stood on the sideline with a cap on throughout despite the occasional chants for him to get some snaps.
It looked as though this one might be a close one as both teams missed opportunities to score in the opening quarter, including Stephen Gostkowski being wide left on a 39-yard field goal attempt. The Jets were hoping to boost their playoff hopes and keep some momentum going after a 27-13 victory at St. Louis last Sunday that snapped a three-game skid.
But this one got ugly in a hurry.
The Patriots jumped on a poor decision by Sanchez, who ruined a nice drive by keying in on Jeremy Kerley on second-and-6 from the 23. Gregory read the play the whole way for an easy interception.
Brady then led the Patriots on a 15-play, 84-yard drive that was capped on Welker's 3-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the second quarter.

LOCKPORT – A Town of Niagara woman admitted that she sold her own painkillers to a police informant when she appeared before State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. on Tuesday.
Brenda J. Sault, 58, of Savannah Street, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for selling the narcotic Fentanyl to the informant on Oct. 25, 2011. Sault will be sentenced on Dec. 10.
Sault originally had faced three counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for selling the painkillers oxycodone and Fentanyl to the informant on Oct. 25, Nov. 1 and Jan. 23, but was allowed to plea to a single count on the lesser charge.
Kloch asked Sault if she needed the painkiller and Sault said yes, because she had herniated disks in her neck and back and a fractured hip. But she told Kloch, "I sold it to [the informant] when she asked me for it because I felt sorry for her."

The image of Michael Jackson that moonwalked across the stage during Sunday's Billboard Music Awards can be called thrilling, memorable and cutting-edge – but it can't be called a hologram.
"It's a whole new technology that we're not really revealing the details of which, because Michael never revealed the details of his magic," Jackson estate spokeswoman Diana Baron told PEOPLE.
It was more of "a virtual Michael Jackson," says Baron, that performed the previously unreleased track, "Slave to the Rhythm."
Flanked by real-life dancers, the footage of the entertainer, who died in 2009 at age 50, was not taken from a previous performance and was created specifically for the awards show.
Although it was teased to audiences days before the awards, the idea of creating a Michael Jackson illusion for the show goes back much further, to October 2012.
Through the next year, the Jackson estate developed the act and was still making changes to it on the morning of the performance.
"Michael always wanted to do these kinds of things," Baron said. "Really, it starts with Michael Jackson more than anything."
Family member Jackie Jackson was blown away by the final product and said his late brother would have given his approval.
"When [the illusion of Michael Jackson] started dancing, unbelievable," Jackie told PEOPLE after the performance. "It took me back. If Michael was here, he would say, 'Thumbs up!' "

The Platte Valley baseball team wouldn't mind seeing its biggest weakness become its most undeniable strength.
Last spring, a young Broncos squad struggled in close games. Platte Valley went 2-7 in games decided by four or fewer runs during a 5-14 season.
The first few weeks of this season have yielded more positive results for the Broncos.
They've gone 2-1 in games decided by four or fewer runs with both of those wins coming this past week as Platte Valley has built a three-game win streak to push its record to 4-3.
Sure, we're talking about only a handful of games and the first stanza of a three-month season.
Still, the Broncos' recent success provides encouragement for second-year coach Jerod Cronquist and his improving squad, which hopes to maintain the type of poise, composure and clutch play needed to extend their season well into next month.
"The difference between our team this year and last year is, last year, we found ways to lose close games," Cronquist said, after coaching his team to a 3-1 win against Weld Central last Tuesday.
"This year — (Tuesday) at least — we found a way to win a close game, and that's a big sign of improvement and maturity for our team."
After its tight win against Weld Central, Platte Valley gave its fans an encore, edging Dayspring Christian 3-1 on Saturday.
The Broncos kick off their Class 3A Patriot League schedule against Sterling at 11 a.m. Saturday in Kersey. The start of league play is part of an almost Major League-like schedule in the coming weeks for Platte Valley.
Because of weather-related postponements and the faster pace that accompanies league play, the Broncos will play 13 games this month.
Considering the strength of the Patriot League and the grind of Platte Valley's upcoming schedule, the Broncos will need to continue to show the crunchtime grit needed to claw its way to close wins.
Platte Valley is trying to engineer its first winning season since 2008.
Evident by last week's workman-like wins, Broncos senior Brandon Richardson said he and his teammates are developing the belief that they can make the winning plays needed to be a player in the postseason.
"We have big plans," Richardson said. "We want to be way above this (4-3 record). So, this is just the beginning."

Motorola DROID Terminator expected to be Android Gingerbread flagship
0. phoneArena 11 Oct 2010, 15:08 posted on
The Schaumburg based company is working on a Tegra 2 flavored device that has been confirmed by the CEO of both Motorola and NVIDIA...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

That doesn't make sense how can it be a DROID if its going to other carriers. I don't think VZW is paying Lucas Films to share the name DROID with the other carriers.
3. tomorrowisnow (unregistered)
Maybe Motorola is the one licensinsg the name from Lucas and VZW has some sort of sub-license or agreement for advertising purposes. It would be interesting to know for sure.
9. VZWbamf (Posts: 61; Member since: 11 Oct 2009)
But there are HTC models under the 'Droid' name as well.
11. FormerVZWRep (unregistered)
It is VZW that owns the trademark, not Motorola. On the bottom of all the promotional pieces for any "Droid" it says specifically VZM is licensing from LucasArts.
15. Hippo (Posts: 2; Member since: 27 Aug 2010)
I'm guessing the versions not on Verizon will just have a different name. In europe their version of the droid is called the milestone.
20. Droid X Doug (unregistered)
If VZW is licensing from LucasArts, I suspect that LucasArts is the owner of the Droid trademark. I tend to doubt that LucasArts has given VZW an exclusive license unless VZW is paying them a bunch of cash for the license. If HTC has released Droid models for non-VZW networks, then VZW did not exclusively license the Droid trademark.
24. numberonenygfan (Posts: 211; Member since: 19 Oct 2009)
eris, and hero...among others.. so this could definatley be a reality...
31. Dongo (unregistered)
Here is how it works VZ pays Lucas for the licence. Then VZ puts that name on any product they want. So example HTC made the incredible VZ applys the DROID to it hence the HTC Droid incredible. Now Moto just goes along with VZ and use what ever verizon wants to call it. But the same phone on other carriers they put a name on (milestone). But there is no licence for Moto to use the DROID trademark from LucasArts.
2. tomorrowisnow (unregistered)
Like most shotgun weddings, the one between Motorola and VZW may already be over.
4. jayinbee (unregistered)
I doubt it will go to sprint, they haven't released a Sprint phone since the Razr 2 for some unknown reason.
5. hawk62 (Posts: 320; Member since: 21 Nov 2009)
How cares. Moto makes SHIT phones and android is a weak OS.

hawk, you are a retard.
12. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
hawk probably posted that from his motorola razr.
21. Droid X Doug (unregistered)
hawk probably came over from the webOS world. hawk, you need to point your browser tohttp://www.precentral.net You will find a more understanding community over there.
25. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Look man these are phone news and guess what we do care about nearly any news related with phones regardless of what kind of phone is it, I'm not personally a moto fan (I like SE) but calling crap the company that first invented the features most phone hold up to these days is just wrong, has Boone told ya to respect your elders? Moto might have some issue getting along with current user's demands but they have never stopped and they face a fair line of devices that have nothing to miss from other devices (maybe an open bootloader) but sure took them less time that others to get along with the standard hardware there day, at least read some articles an check why you should be kissing motos feethttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M
otorolaAnd Android a weak os? Can you back your words up? Cuz I begg to differ
39. CC161777 (unregistered)
Hawk, you said once you got your iPhone you were going to stop complaining about your BS issues with Android. Please? Go bedazzle your iPhone and play in the corner with the other children.
7. etownone (Posts: 40; Member since: 25 Jul 2010)
This sucks. I thought this phone was coming to verizon for the holidays.
8. gambino37 (Posts: 146; Member since: 16 Oct 2009)
Yea really. HOW cares. Right hawk? Android is so weak that it's gobbling up market share in huge mouthfuls. Motorola is back with gusto.facts are facts homeboy. Do a little research before you type next time.
13. XxVerbalxX (unregistered)
1. Android is THE best OS avaiable right now 2. Motorola usually makes great phones hardware wise. Its anything software they touch that turns to molten shit. See motoblur for an example. 3. I cant believe so many comments about it being called a "Droid". Simple answer, VZW will call it the droid terminator, everywhere else will call it an android terminator. Not that hard to figure out folks, use common sense. Way to latch onto a tiny detail and not the whole friggin point.....
14. hawk62 (Posts: 320; Member since: 21 Nov 2009)
Yeah yeah i made a typ-O! Get over yourselves. I had a Droid X for 2 months. Its fucking shit. Android is crap and between Moto n VZ they totally fucked up the phone. Go to moto's forum. There are lots of unhappy customers. The droid line is only getting market share because they flooded the market with a hundred different phones on 4 carriers. It will be a year or more till the android market comes close to matching the app store in numbers. And dont quote that the market matches it now. Half the market is duplicate apps you know the same app but one verison for each phone and addon apps. Those dont count.
18. HAHAHAH (unregistered)
Then why do they cound for the iphone????? They have far more duplicate apps than the Google market.
23. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
You're full of shit, Hawk. You're the asshole who's bitched about how much Android sucks for months, and as I recall you own an Iphone. So why would you spend such a large amount of money on a Droid X and keep it for TWO MONTHS (meaning you got rid of it last month at the earliest) and thus have to pay the termination fee or go back to an old phone? So what makes Android crap? What makes the iPhone, with its shit reception, cracking back and 20 percent failure rate any better? Or if not the iPhone, what's your OS and phone of choice, and what makes it SO MUCH FREAKING BETTER than any Android?
27. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Yeah he goes to every news saying the same crap every time can't he just learn that if he doesn't care he would be better shut. And if we talk about complaints most companies have them in lots so why he wants moto to be an exception, I guess he is just pissed that other companies but his are trying to be innovative and his only relief is to go on news bashing against any progress done by any other company but his closing his eyes and saying "this is crap" Dude we don't want you telling us what we should not care about.

Lol, had a Palm Pixi for a couple of weeks. If you gave me one with the processor and screen *or keyboard size* of a Droid 2 or X I'd call that a winner. Oh yeah, and better ringtone choices. And more apps. But yeah, the Pixi was a nice little smartphone.

i really do love webOS, just wish the hardware was better. if you want more ringtones just hook it up via USB and load em into the rintone folder. easy fix

SMH. You WP7 ppl have been out in full force with ur "talking points" against android today. Just be happy we all have a CHOICE with what OS suits us the best. There are pros and cons to each OS avail........ but on another note Terminator is a BADASS name for an android device. I currently have a galaxy s but I may consider this moto handset. COMPETITION IS BEAUTIFUL

I hope this phone is not loaded with motoblur... And hopefully for once the display is nice being they are getting help from nvidia... Dual core processor nice! Cannot wait!
33. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I personally belief blur should be a feature the user may want to install and the is may ask at fist boot "you want but with that" or come in one of those handy dandy CDs that let's you choose "to blur or not to blur" and have that flashed.

Alright now what do I do? I reallllyyyyy want a new phone! Like insanely bad! I was hoping to get the Droid x in december since my contract is up then...and now this happens??!?!? Should i wait for this now or what?!?!?!?
32. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I personally think you should wait, the companies plan to reveal their secret weapons around Christmas time to and aiming for the fist one we saw might lead us to our doom. So January might be a good time some might have tried the phone you wanna buy and you will see how they feed your needs just bear with it for a lil longe, it will be worth it
38. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Well, if you're not eligible until December you have to wait anyway. Even if you're not a fan of any of the newest phones that'll come out, the price will drop on the older phones and you'll get them cheaper anyway. I'm perfectly happy with my X though. ^_^
41. XxVerbalxX (unregistered)
wait for january, unless u can con someone into buying u something cool for xmas. free and awesome is always better than expensive as shit and amazing....at least in my opinion. urs may differ

I think that Verizon is the one who is launching the "Droid" branded phones and not HTC or Motorola or even Google.
26. gambino37 (Posts: 146; Member since: 16 Oct 2009)
HTC DROID Incredible.......Motorola DROID X....Ever heard of them? Yes Verizon phones. Made by HTC, Motorola, and stuffed with Google.
28. VZWEMPLOYEE (Posts: 34; Member since: 13 Jun 2009)
There are no HTC Droids there using Android OS but customers call everything Droids because the customer 7 out of 10 times knows nothing.

I like them well enough to buy again.

Comments about Louis Garneau Neo Protect Booties:
This is my 2nd pair so I like them well enough to be a repeat buyer. I used the first pair about 4 years and replaced them because a crash had torn a hole that couldn't be repaired and was getting larger. Other reviewers complain about the Velcro closure. While I think a zipper would make for a cleaner look, a Velcro closure likely will last longer than a zipper. There was some wear on the Velco but not enough to affect use. The bottom fits well over my SPD cleats.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Velcro not zippers
By brittiii
from Rhode Island
I have had close to ten different kinds of booties and these are the easiest to put on because of the velcro and the easiest to take off shoes while keeping the booties on if 1/3 rolled back.
perfect bootie at a good price
By JAC
from Northern NJ
Easy to get on. The Velcro closure worked like it should. The bottom never interfered with me being able to clip in. I wore them in 40 degree temps and my feet never felt cold or felt like they were overheating.
Real Short Review
By Old Hippie
from St. Louis, MO.
Sorry Nashbar... I have to agree with several other reviews. Don't waste your $$$. Within less than a year, they ripped to shreds. And I ordered BIG - X-Large for size 46 (European sizing) shoes.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
worked like a charm
By Heidi
from New Hampshire
i've only used them once, but they met my expectations. i bought them to wear over my trail runners while snowshoe racing, because last year my feet were very cold and wet after each race. i bought the small size and while i did struggle to pull them over my salomons, i think they would fit over cycling shoes just fine. (i'm a women's size 9 and i debated buying a small or a medium.) rather than put the booties on/off my trail runners before each race, i left the booties on and left the laces loose so i can just slip my feet into the whole package before strapping into the snowshoes.
Good protection
By Road runner
from Ny
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I got a size medium because I didn't want to fight with it every time I want it to put it on. Great wind protection.
well done
By DenT
from Lincoln CA
Easier to get on/off than many other versions. Not too warm or cool Just a nice additional layer that adds to comfort when it's in the 30s.
They Fit
By NJ Camper
from NJ
Finally, a boot that fits !!! I have tried many brands and the sizes are way off, these are spot on.Easy put on and take off
Great shoe covers!!!
By JenningsGP
from Jacksonville FL
Im a avid cyclist in Florida and these shoe covers are great!!! They fit perfect and keep my feet warm! I will say if you are a avid cyclist that is very lean in size (skinny bird legs like the guys in the Tour de France) it will be a little loose towards the top of the bootie on your leg.
Perfect for cold weather riding
By John
from Chico, CA
The is a near perfect product for cold weather rides. My feet have not been cold since I started using them and sometimes I ride at freezing temps. I even rode in heavy rain and was pleased with nearly dry feet at the end of the ride. They work like a wet suit so will keep you warm even when wet. The fit is perfect and they are easy to get on and off. They are well made so should be usable for many riding seasons.

|Basic Ground Beef American Goulash - a quick and easy ground beef, macaroni and tomato skillet meal. Stir in 1/2 cup of cubed Velveeta for a cheesy version.
Basic Ground Beef American GoulashThis recipe is a basic American goulash - one of those easy to throw together, I'm in a hurry and need to feed my family quick skillet meals, sort of akin to a simple homemade Hamburger Helper meal, really. Hey, while you're here, be sure to pop by to see my "Deep South" version of goulash! Just click the link to go there.
Here's how to make the basic version.
Recipe: Basic Ground Beef American Goulash©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1-1/2 cups of dry elbow macaroni
- 1-1/2 pounds of ground chuck
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt (like Lawry's)
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 2 small bay leaves
- 1 (8 ounce) tomato sauce
- Pinch of granulated sugar, optional
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans of diced tomatoes, undrained
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Cook the macaroni according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve two cups of the pasta water; drain macaroni and set aside. Meanwhile, using a lidded skillet, saute the ground beef uncovered until done; drain off any excess fat. Add the onion and garlic and continue sauteing about 5 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaves; blend. Add the tomato sauce, undrained diced tomatoes and sugar, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked, drained macaroni, and stir in enough of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen; continue to simmer until pasta is warmed through, adding additional pasta water as needed. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired, stir, remove from heat, discard bay leaves and serve immediately.
Cook's Notes: For a cheesy variation, cube 1/2 cup of Velveeta and stir in just before serving, until melted and creamy.
Chili Mac: Add up to 2-1/2 tablespoons of chili powder (or to taste) and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the recipe. Stir in 1/2 cup of Velveeta (or shredded cheddar) as noted above, topping with another 1/2 cup. Cover and cook over low until cheese melts. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh diced tomatoes, sour cream or your other favorite chili toppings.

Animal Actors
There is nothing glamorous about showbiz for primates, big cats, bears, and other animals who are used in television, film, or advertising; exploited as sports mascots; or used as props in novelty displays. Torn away from their mothers as infants, these animals are subjected to abusive training methods and forced to spend most of their lives in small, filthy cages, deprived of everything that is natural and important to them. Trainers who supply animals to the entertainment industry are frequently cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for violating the federal Animal Welfare Act, which establishes only minimal guidelines for animal care. Social animals such as primates, elephants, and wolves are often forced to live alone, causing them severe psychological stress and anxiety.
Unlike humans, no ape ever dreams of being a star on the big screen. To them, "performing" is stressful, confusing, and often torturous.
Chimpanzees and orangutans used in entertainment are typically torn away from their mothers shortly after birth—a horribly cruel process that causes irreversible psychological harm to the baby and the mother. In order to force young apes to perform on cue, trainers often beat the animals with fists, clubs, or even broom handles. Systematic abuse causes the animals to be constantly anxious and fearful—always anticipating the next blow. In fact, the chimpanzee "grin" so often seen in movies and on television is actually a grimace of fear.
When apes become too large and strong to handle (usually at around age 8), they are often dumped at shoddy roadside zoos and other substandard facilities, where they may spend decades in small, barren cages—often in solitary confinement. Chimpanzees can live into their 60s, and orangutans can live into their 50s, so "retirement" from entertainment often means a long life of misery for these highly intelligent and sensitive animals.
The American Humane Association's (AHA) "No Animals Were Harmed" seal of approval is extremely misleading to filmmakers and audiences alike. AHA does not monitor living conditions of animals off set, during pre-production training, or during the premature separation of infants from their mothers. The organization, which is funded by the Screen Actors Guild—the very industry that it is monitoring—rarely, if ever, files formal complaints when animals are mistreated. In fact, AHA actively defends the use of great apes in film and television productions despite expert testimony indicating that great apes cannot be trained for entertainment without subjecting them to physical abuse.
With all the highly advanced technologies that are available today—including animatronics, animation, computer-generated imagery, and more—there is no reason for subjecting apes to a lifetime of misery as "actors." After learning about the cruelty that these animals are subjected to behind the scenes, numerous companies and advertising agencies have pledged never to use great apes in their productions.
Animals as Mascots
Big cats, bears, and other live-animal mascots don't belong at athletic events. The bright lights, loud noises, and screaming fans are terrifying to animals, who don't understand what is happening and can easily become defensive and aggressive.
In their natural environments, tigers and lions would quietly roam many miles of territory, hunt, and raise their young. Bears would climb and debark trees, forage on berries, dig through vegetation, build dens, capture small animals or insects, and fish in streams. Animals who are kept as mascots—such as Mike the Tiger at Louisiana State University, the bears at Baylor University, the tiger named TOM III at the University of Memphis, the lions named Leo III and Una at the University of North Alabama, and the many tiger cubs who have been used by Massillon High School in Ohio—aren't allowed to do any of the things that are natural and important to them.
No amount of training can stop a wild animal from behaving instinctively, and trainers cannot protect themselves or the public from an angry or terrified animal's claws, teeth, and sheer strength when he or she rebels against the trainer's dominance. Injury and death are dangers for handlers and spectators who place themselves in a wild animal's path. For more information, see PETA's factsheets on big cat attacks and bear attacks. There's no reason to subject animals to the chaos and stress of sporting events. Costumed human mascots can lead cheers, react to the crowd, and pump up the team—all things that a frightened animal cannot do. Most universities use costumed human mascots.
The human mascot for the NFL's New England Patriots stated, "The position of a team mascot is rewarding, exciting, fun, interesting, and can essentially lead to even bigger and better opportunities. … Though [these are] wonderful opportunities to humans, animals do not enjoy any of those benefits." He added, "While live animals must be tucked away in a corner of a stadium and are rarely seen during the game, a human mascot in costume can be visible, active, and instrumental during the entire event."
Novelty Displays
In an attempt to attract customers, some stores, hotels, restaurants, bars, and other establishments imprison wild animals.
The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas confines dolphins to concrete tanks and keeps lions, tigers, and leopards behind glass walls for tourists to gawk at. A chimpanzee named Candy has spent decades alone at an amusement park in Louisiana. A gas station in Louisiana called the Tiger Truck Stop keeps a tiger in a barren concrete cage. Ivan, a gorilla captured in Africa as an infant in 1964, languished for 26 years in a concrete and Plexiglas cage as a department store attraction in Washington state before being rescued.
These animals lead miserable lives as curiosity displays and are often dependent on caretakers who have little knowledge of their highly specialized and complex needs. Not surprisingly, many of them become sick, depressed, and neurotic.
Nativity Scenes
Animals used in Nativity displays are magnets for abuse. For example, Brighty, a donkey used in a church Nativity scene in Harrisonburg, Virginia, was savagely beaten by three young men. Following the attack, Brighty was fearful of people and refused to socialize with other donkeys.
In Richmond, Virginia, an attack by dogs on animals used in a church Nativity scene resulted in the deaths of three animals. A camel named Ernie who escaped from a Nativity scene was struck by a car and killed in Maryland. In yet another Nativity tragedy, a sheep in Bedford, New Hampshire, was stolen and slaughtered.
Highly intelligent, sensitive animals deserve better than to be treated as if they were props for our amusement. Please avoid attractions that exhibit live wild animals. If you see a film, television show, or advertisement that exploits great apes or other wild animals, contact the producers and tell them why you object.

text: The most characteristic sound in traditional folk music from the Appenzell region is probably that of the stringed dulcimer, played with a pair of hammers. The typical local version has 25 sets of strings or courses, each producing one or more tones. The task of building one of these instruments requires skill and flair – as shown by Werner Alder. You can watch him make his exquisite dulcimers, and hear their fine sound, at his workshop in Herisau. You'll also learn about the history of the instrument, which arrived here in the Middle Ages – possibly from Persia. The bright, jangling tone of the instrument suits traditional folk music perfectly – but also sits well with other musical styles such as modern jazz.

Most businesses in the heart of Lanai City are pleased with new island owner Larry Ellison's efforts to rejuvenate the economy and his work on sprucing up the town square and company-owned buildings.
Loraina Seghorn, a Lanai clothing and gift shop manager, is happy to see new faces around town who have come with Ellison's remodeling work on island, as well as the new visitors.
"We need the business to make a living," said Seghorn, a lifelong Lanai resident, who manages Island Treasures Gift Shop, which sells T-shirts, ocean- and tropical-themed items and knick-knacks.

Anuenue Juice Bar & Cafe owner Tammy Ringbauer (left) works next to staffer Ellen Hewes-Sakaria recently in Lanai City. Ringbauer said she is pleased with what's been happening on the island since Larry Ellison bought most of it a year ago. She hopes her new business can grow right along with the proposed new projects for Lanai.
The Maui News / MELISSA TANJI photo
Kim "Timmie" Kahakauwila, a former Lanai resident who now lives on Maui, pushes a cart of groceries fronting Kerry Honda's Pine Isle Market recently in Lanai City. Honda said he is grateful that Ellison, who purchased most of the island, has allowed him to keep his lease for the space, even as Ellison's company has a competing market next door. Kahakauwila was on Lanai visiting family and for a graduation party.

Loraina Seghorn, a lifelong Lanai resident who manages the Island Treasures Gift Shop, is pleased so far with new island owner Larry Ellison's plans for the future. "Lanai needs that change, someone willing to put in the time and effort," she said. "(Ellison) brought a lot of jobs to people that were laid off."
The Maui News / MELISSA TANJI photo
"Lanai needs that change, someone willing to put in the time and effort," she said. "(Ellison) brought a lot of jobs to people that were laid off."
Seghorn was on Lanai when the island transitioned from a pineapple-producing island to a tourism-based economy with two top-notch resorts. She is pleased with the proposed changes ahead.
"It's great because the next generation, there are opportunities for them," she said.
Fact Box
* Editor's Note - This is the second day of a two-day series on developments on Lanai since the ownership of most of the island changed hands about a year ago.
In June 2012, the technology guru and billionaire bought 98 percent of Lanai. Residents and business owners say that since the purchase, there has been job growth at the two luxury resorts and other businesses.
This translates to more money spent in Lanai shops and restaurants, which those businesses applaud.
Ellison also hopes to build a third resort, a desalination plant, a second airport runway and more housing on the island. He also wants Lanai to become sustainable, with electric cars and diversified agriculture.
New Lanai business owner Tammy Ringbauer also feels positive about the new ownership and feels like her business, Anuenue Juice Bar & Cafe, couldn't have arrived at a better time.
"I'm stoked," she said about her new business, which opened July 1. "I know the population is going to expand. The change makes it more viable for a business to excel."
Ringbauer, who sells freshly produced juice and smoothies and salads, says she fits in with Ellison's model of sustainability because of her products' ties to natural foods.
Her shop across Dole Park in the heart of the city had been an empty space for about a year. She knew of others who sought the space but speculated that her business model fit with the landowner's future sustainable vision for the island.
For decades-old Pine Isle Market, officials there say they are pleased that Ellison's company, now called Pulama Lana'i, has been kind enough to let them continue their lease, noting that Pine Isle Market is a competitor to Pulama
Lana'i's Richards Market next door.
Pine Isle Market's Kerry Honda said that when the hotels are busy, workers are able to spend more in his store and at Lanai's other businesses.
"Everything looks positive," he said of Ellison's moves so far and his plans for the future.
Another independent market owner, Joan de la Cruz of International Food & Clothing Center, said that so far, Pulama Lana'i has maintained the lease with her business.
"He has been a much better landlord," de la Cruz said, comparing Ellison to David Murdock, from whom Ellison bought most of the island.
"You paid rent" to Murdock, but "you did everything else," she said.
De la Cruz said that Murdock did not maintain the buildings, noting that the roof on the storage building near her market leaked. Pulama Lana'i quickly repaired the storage building roof, doing some rehabilitation work as well.
De la Cruz, who was born and raised on the island, said that her father-in-law's market will turn 60 years old in August. It got its "International" name because her father-in-law was a member of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union during the pineapple days on the island.
She said the store no longer sells clothes and has fewer offerings than Pine Isle and Richards markets. For example, they do not carry fresh meats and fish.
But the store that still looks like it's back in the '60s with dusty old keys for sale, visible from its window, is able to stay alive by "carrying what the locals want."
Overall, de la Cruz said she hasn't had major concerns with Ellison's plans but is unsure on how the desalination plant will work.
She admitted being a bit wary of what the future holds.
"It's scary. Change is always scary," de la Cruz said.

Powell to Enter NBA Draft
UPDATED 6:01 PM CDT Mar 26, 2013
University of Arkansas redshirt junior Marshawn Powell has decided to forego his final year of eligibility and enter the 2013 National Basketball Association Draft, the team announced Tuesday.
The 6-foot-7 junior just completed his fourth season at Arkansas, finishing second on the team with an average of 14.5 points per game. He returned after missing all but two games last season with a torn ACL in his right knee.
Arkansas was 19-13 this season, missing the NCAA tournament for the fifth straight season.

The Ignacio Bobcats have seen more than their fair share of high-scoring offenses on the football field this fall.
They�ll see another potent one tonight when the Bobcats host Centauri for a 7 p.m. kickoff in Ignacio.
�We�ve been struggling on defense,� Ignacio head coach Lupe Huerta said of the injury-depleted Bobcats (1-4, 0-1 San Juan Basin League).
�We�ve been trying so many different things on defense, trying to put the kids in position to make plays,� Huerta said.
Monte Vista, another recent Class 2A drop down to Class 1A football just like Centauri, scored 60 points against the Bobcats in last week�s 60-6 SJBL opener.
Three weeks ago, the IHS defense surrendered 60 points at Shiprock after earlier losses to Aspen (56-0) and Dolores Huerta of Pueblo (58-30).
�It�s been tough,� Huerta said. �We�ve made mistakes on defense, and we�ve had a hard time coming back from them.�
The loss at Monte Vista, he said, was a case in point.
�In the Monte game, we dropped some critical passes ... passes for first downs,� Huerta said.
The Ignacio defense, he said, then was forced back onto the field.
�You can�t make mistakes even against a mediocre team, let alone a good team,� Huerta said.
He said the addition of Monte Vista and Centauri, formerly of the Intermountain League, has made the 1A SJBL even tougher this season.
�They just moved down (to 2A). They�re both ... strong. But it is what it is,� he said.
The Falcons (4-1, 1-0) beat Center 42-30 last weekend in their SJBL opener. That came on the heels of a 51-point output in a Centauri shutout of Lake County (Leadville).
Centauri�s other victories this season came over Class 2A Pagosa Springs 46-6 and Paonia 7-6.
The Falcons� lone loss came at Lamar 47-16 the second week of the season.
Jareb Aziz and Micah Keys lead Centauri�s offense. The Bobcats will counter with their home-field advantage and an offense that broke out and scored 49 points in a victory over the Montezuma-Cortez junior varsity team two weeks ago.
Quarterback Adison Jones, a two-year starter as a sophomore, led the attack.
�When we don�t make mistakes, we are very capable of putting up 30 points in a half,� Huerta said.
But with a lineup featuring a number of freshmen and sophomores filling in for injured upperclassmen, he said the Bobcats have had trouble getting in sync.
�We�ve had a hard time clicking so far,� coach Huerta said. �It can be tough with so ... many younger players.�

Spend enough time in bike-friendly Arcata, on Cali's foggy northern coast, and you'll develop Popeye thighs like the locals. In this über-liberal community, recycling is religion and the Green Party rules.
The riding selection is as broad as the virgin trees in nearby Redwood National Park, from the gentle five-plus-mile (eight-plus-kilometer) Hammond Trail to the surprisingly technical dirt in Community Forest, a Central Park-size preserve (www.cityofarcata.org).
Hit up the Plaza Grill for good, cheap fresh stuff—salads, sandwiches, and the like (www.plazagrillarcata.com).
The Lady Anne Bed and Breakfast is a quaint Victorian throwback, complete with croquet games on the front lawn, with modern perks like Tempurpedic mattresses (doubles from $125; www.ladyanneinn.com).

People saw her and said she was the most exciting skater out of europe since witt. That said something.
Compare caro at 15 and 16 and gracie now, the difference in musicality is huge
As fragile as Alissa seems, her team might be worried about her return coming to a screeching halt from a practice and training injury.
Yes, as of right now, she is overhyped. Perhaps compared to the other AMERICAN ladies (with the exception of Ashley Wagner) she is the cream of the crop, but if you go international, she REALLY doesn't have the total package the way some of the other ladies do. I get that she's supposedly a good jumper (too bad she's so inconsistent), but her artistry is still severely lacking. There's something about her demeanor and her arms and hands that telegraph "fake." It's not that she seems intentionally artificial...it's almost as though she can't help herself. The musical arrangements she's chosen don't really help, but I just get the feeling that she never really feels the music.
Like most people don't seem to get in IJS, "artistry" isn't quantifiable and isn't really judged. SS is about the ability to generate power and flow and speed easily and bi-directionally. TR is about how many different ways you cover the ice and in the direction. CH is about how you cover the ice and whether you hit "levels" in space (different than technical levels - but more about dimension) and whether you cover all the ice or only blue line to blue line. PE is more about the quality of what you put out versus "artistry" so a skater who has a clean, 7 triple with at least one 3+3 performance with level 4's in ladies is going to get a better score than someone who gets a couple under rotations and does no 3+3, and IN is more a follow on score than a "real" judge of artistry. Since Gracie covers the ice with a lot of power and has good (quantity and some variety) transitions and her program does touch those dimensional levels and all corners of the rink and when she's not rushing totally she's got the big tricks, her PCS is going to be a big number, even internationally (and she got 60+ at Worlds and WTT last year...) Of the younger guns (herself, Sotnikova, Tutkamysheva, Li...) she's right in the thick of things.
I don't see how we can say Gracie is overhyped when we have a thread going on right now about how awful her programs are.

Share a segment of the dairy industry that interests you
Share a segment of the dairy industry that interests you
Educate the public about dairy with educational displays.
by Patti Hurtgen, Online Media Manager, Hoard's Dairyman
While it may no longer be June Dairy Month, educating the public is a year-round challenge. As summer shows and fairs get into full swing, do you take the time to educate the public about your animals, the dairy industry or dairy products? It is easiest and most fun to talk or share information with others about the segments of our industry that excite or intrigue you.
Educational displays can at all hours of the day or night at fairs and exhibitions, even when you are not there. They can lead to questions that you will later be able to answer for the curious attendee. But, dairy cattle shows are not the only place to educate the public. Displays can be placed at local banks, chamber of commerce offices or local businesses.
4-H or school class projects can stretch beyond a grade in school or a requirement for your dairy project. Here are a few winning displays of the 52 entries at the 2012 National Holstein Convention held last month in Springfield, Mo. Youth competed in scientific and creative categories. The youth did not have to attend the convention to submit their entry. More results of the youth contests held at the convention can be found on Industry Buzz.
As you can see the topics are quite varied. . .from dairy foods, calf care and farm safety. We hope they give you some ideas for educational displays in your community.
Junior Creative
"Embryo Transfer
"All We Have, We Owe to Udders"
Intermediate Creative
"Farm Safety"
"How Now Brown Cow"
"Shh…I'm Resting"

It's always been very useful to be able to vpn in to your network and access file-shares or internal websites as you would be able to do on your computer at work. PPTP VPN is very easy and fast to set up and it works for most of the devices and operating systems out there without additional software necessary. The pptpd service listens on port 1723 and your firewall needs to be adjusted to let it pass to the internal server that handles this. This video below demonstrates the install and configuration of a simple pptpd server on a Ubuntu Server 12.04LTS edition. I hope you enjoy this video and don't forget to leave a comment here or on my youtube channel.
Thanks MSJ 😉
Apache Web Server works great out of a box but in some cases you like to secure your site with a certificate and this Article will walk you through it step by step enabling SSL and generating a certificate. The only down site with self-signed certificates is that they are not trusted in the public internet and the customer will see a certificate warning. This doesn't mean it's not working it's just that the certificate could not be verified but if you continue with the certificate it still secures your connection.
Let's get started and install Apache2 enter:
sudo apt-get install apache2
type in ps ax |grep apache and you should see something like that:
23783 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
23787 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
23788 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
23789 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
that means the installation worked and apache is running. Now start firefox and enter the address of your web server in the URL and you should see this:
Great everything work the way it should. Now let's create a certificate. First of all create a directory where we place our certificate. Type in:
sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl
now create a certificate with the following command (it's all in one line):
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
now openssl will ask you a bunch of questions. Let's go over those together:
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
writing new private key to '/etc/apache2/ssl/apache-test.key'
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:New Mexico
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Albuquerque
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:UbuntuVideoCast
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:IT Department
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:www.ubuntuvideocast.com
Email Address []:firstname.lastname@example.com
this above should give you a good idea what you should fill in on those questions. Now that this is done lets prepare Apache to use it. Type in:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
and now go down till you see the SSLEngine on directive. Now below that you should see the following two directives:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
we have to change it to match our new certificate, it should something like that:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
save it and enable ssl on apache by issuing this commands:
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2ensite default-ssl
and last but now least restart or reloading the new configuration. Type:
sudo service apache2 restart
and try to hit it with your browser. If everything works you should see something like this:
This is the warning I was talking about earlier. Click on the link "I understand the risk" and you will see this:
Click on the button "Add Exception" and you will see this:
Click on the "View" button to verify it is really our certificate that we set up. You should see something like that:
Everything is there ..great…click on close and on the remaining screen click on "Confirm security exception" and we are done and should see this:
Cool…..that's it…I hope it helped you in getting an SSL Certificate installed and running with your Web Server. Let me know if you have any further questions. Please comment on this article.

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As a scientist and humanitarian, Swiss plant biologist Ingo Potrykus is right up there with Jonas Salk, who introduced the first polio vaccine; Maurice Hilleman, who invented dozens of vaccines, including 8 of the 14 that are currently recommended; and Norman Borlaug, the "Father of the Green Revolution," who saved perhaps a billion lives and improved the health of uncountable others.
Or, more accurately, he would be if wrong-headed government regulation had not stalled his once-in-a-lifetime, life-saving innovation.
Potrykus is the co-creator of Golden Rice, a collection of new rice varieties biofortified or enriched, by the introduction of genes that express beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A. (It is converted in the body, as needed, to the active form.)
Why are these new varieties so important? After all, most physicians in North America and Europe never see a single case of vitamin A deficiency in their professional lifetimes. The situation is very different in poor developing countries, however. Vitamin A deficiency is epidemic among the poor, whose diet is heavily dominated by rice (which contains neither beta-carotene nor vitamin A) or other carbohydrate-rich, vitamin-poor sources of calories.
In developing countries, 200–300 million children of preschool age are at risk of vitamin A deficiency, which can be devastating and even fatal. It increases susceptibility to common childhood infections such as measles and diarrheal diseases and is the single most important cause of childhood blindness in developing countries. Every year, about 500,000 children become blind as a result of vitamin A deficiency, and 70% die within a year of losing their sight.
Why not simply supplement children's diets with vitamin A in capsules or add it to some staple foodstuff, the way that we add iodine to table salt to prevent hypothyroidism and goiter? A good idea in theory, except that neither the resources—hundreds of millions of dollars annually—nor the infrastructure for distribution are available.
Genetic engineering offers a better, cheaper, more feasible solution: Golden Rice, which actually incorporates beta-carotene into the genetically altered rice grains. The concept is simple: Although rice plants do not normally synthesize beta-carotene in the endosperm (seeds) because of the absence of two necessary enzymes of the biosynthetic pathway, they do make it in the green portions of the plant. By using genetic engineering techniques to introduce the two genes that express these enzymes, the pathway is restored and the rice grains accumulate therapeutic amounts of beta-carotene.
Golden Rice is the prototype of second-generation agbiotech products, which provide direct benefits to consumers, as opposed to plants that offer only improvements in agronomic properties that are important to farmers.

Purchase bolsters drug discovery operations and adds profitable revenues.[© Robert Mizerek - Fotolia.com]
Evotec is acquiring Compound Focus, the compound-management business of Galapagos' BioFocus division, for €10.25 million (almost $14.78 million) in cash up front. The deal augments Evotec's early drug discovery capabilities, provides critical mass to its existing compound-management offering, and adds profitable revenues.
Under the acquisition agreement, Evotec also agreed to pay another €2.25 million (about $3.24 million) in potential earn-out fees upon performance of the business in 2012 and 2013 depending on revenues and certain corporate milestones.
Compound Focus is based in San Francisco and concentrates on small molecule compound-management services. The company's technologies are focused on automated storage and custom design solutions.
In 2010, Compound Focus had revenues of €7.8 million with an operating profit of €2.6 million. Customers include U.S. federal institutes and companies such as Elan, Lundbeck, Sepracor, and Procter & Gamble.
Following this transaction, Evotec says, its revenue guidance for 2011 will go up from €64–66 million to €68–70 million. Evotec says that it will have more than €55 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of this year.
Galapagos has also changed its revenue guidance for 2011 from €150 million to €146 million. Commenting on the sale of Compound Focus, Onno van de Stolpe, Galapagos CEO, says, "Today's transaction enables us to concentrate on what we do best in BioFocus and Argenta, providing top-class drug discovery solutions needed to deliver molecules for our customers. Compound management is not strategic to our offering."
Galapagos acquired Argenta's service operations last February. It purchased BioFocus, a company based in Saffron Walden, U.K., in October 2005. Subsequent purchases like the drug discovery operations of Discovery Partners International and Inpharmatica in 2006 as well as the structure-based drug discovery business of Sareum Holdings in 2008 rounded out its BioFocus service division. The segment offers a range of drug discovery products and services encompassing target discovery and validation, screening and drug discovery, through to delivery of preclinical candidates.

This has been a year of serious decision-making for Sharon Osbourne.
Not only did she undergo a double mastectomy after a genome test revealed she had a "whole shopping list" of health problems – including "the breast cancer gene" – but she also chose to give up plastic surgery.
"No more, because I have been looking at pictures of myself recently since I started to lose weight," the new grandma said on Monday's episode of The Talk. "And in a lot of shots, my face looks plastic and at certain angles I was like, 'Oh, dear. Oh, I should never have done that. Oh, that's a bad one.' So I'm like, 'No more. No more abuse.' "
She also made the decision because of the serious trouble she's experienced with her breast implants.
"One of them had burst, and all of it had gone into the wall of my stomach," Osbourne, 60, says. "And one breast was different than the other."
Osbourne says because one of her breasts was in such bad shape and because of the results of the genome test, she and her doctor decided on the double mastectomy.
"I wasn't diagnosed with cancer, but I had the gene and one of my breasts was in a really bad state because of the implant," she said, adding as a word of advice, "never have [implants] by the way."
Of her eventual double mastectomy, she explains that she did undergo reconstructive surgery after the operation.

A diary is one place to come clean – but for Jodi Arias, it was apparently just another place to lie about her alleged involvement in her Mormon lover's murder.
"Last night was so hard," Arias, 32, allegedly wrote, according to court motions that surfaced during the third week of her Arizona murder trial. "Knowing he wasn't calling me anytime soon was just killing me. I broke down as I climbed into bed and just cried and cried and cried until I fell asleep."
Arias allegedly wrote the entry on June 11, 2008, only two days after Travis Alexander's body was found in his home.
Forensic experts have testified his attacker stabbed him roughly 30 times, slashed his throat from ear to ear and shot him with a .25-caliber gun, the same caliber as a handgun reported stolen from Arias's grandparents' home.
Unaware that police would retrieve photos from Alexander's camera showing them making love the day he was murdered, as well as a photo of her apparently dragging his body, Arias, a photographer, pretended nothing happened and covered her tracks in various ways, according to prosecution testimony.
Ryan Burns, another love interest of Arias's, testified that Arias made out with him the day after she allegedly murdered Alexander. Burns told the jury that, when Arias arrived for their date a day late, she claimed she had gotten lost, making no mention of how she'd spent the previous day allegedly having sex with Alexander before killing him. "She got on top of me pretty aggressively and we were kissing," he testified, adding that Arias is feisty and "stronger than she looks."
When Burns noticed that she had bandages on her fingers, Arias said she cut her hand on broken glass at the restaurant where she worked. He testified they watched a movie, messed around and napped.
In a recording played for the jury, Mesa, Ariz., Detective Esteban Flores, tells Arias: "The gun that was stolen, a .25 auto, just happens to be the same caliber used to kill him."
"A .25 was used to kill him?" she asks incredulously.
"Jodi, we're just playing games here," Esteban replies.
As evidence mounted, Arias changed her story, first saying two intruders killed Alexander while she was present, and later saying she stabbed the motivational speaker in self-defense, and that he was abusive.
Prosecutors entered into evidence a trail of receipts, including rental car receipts, showing that Arias rented a car in Redding, Calif., instead of where she lived in Yreka, Calif., where she could easily be recognized. The receipts show purchases in Southern California and Nevada, but not Arizona – suggesting she did not want to create traceable evidence that she was in the state on June 4, 2008, the day Alexander was killed.
The state's final witness, Leslie Udy, testified Thursday that, when she met with Arias after Alexander's murder, she observed cuts on Arias's hand. Again, Arias attributed the cuts to broken glass. Under cross-examination, Udy testified that Arias seemed too gentle to commit such a horrific crime.
After Udy's testimony, the prosecution rested its case, and the defense attorney for Arias – who could get the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder – argued outside the jury's presence that the prosecution had failed to prove premeditation. The prosecution scoffed at the motion, saying Arias staged a burglary of her own home, rented a car and brought a gun and a knife to Alexander's home.
The trial resumes Jan. 28 with a hearing on the defense motion.

SPARTANBURG, SC – The Stetson University men's golf team struggled through the first day of play at the Coca-Cola Wofford Invitational on Monday.
The Hatters followed an opening round score of 300, which was the highest in the 16-team field, with a second round score of 308. Stetson enters Tuesday's final round six shots behind Longwood for 15th place.
The tournament, which is the final tuneup event prior to the Atlantic Sun Conference championship tournament next week, is being played at the Country Club of Spartanburg.
The host Terriers from Wofford College lead the tournament with a two-round score of 557. Wofford followed an opening round score of 283 with a blistering 274 in the second round to build an eight shot lead over East Tennessee State in second place.
Stetson was led on Monday by sophomore Matt Taylor, who opened the tournament with a three-under par 69 in the first round, but slipped back with a second round score of 76. Taylor is tied for 27th in the tournament heading into final round play on Tuesday.
Taylor was the only member of the Stetson squad to rank in the top 60 in the tournament field.
The Hatters other players in the event are freshman Dustin Dingus (74-78=152), freshman Andrew Peterson (76-79=155), junior Tyler White (81-76=157) and freshman Michael Primavera (86-78=164).

EAST LIVERPOOL - Fire crews in St. Clair and Liverpool townships kept busy Wednesday afternoon with three separate fire calls within a short period of time, one of which will result in charges against the homeowner.
Just before 1:30 p.m., firefighters from the Glenmoor station responded to a report of a fire at the home of Virginia Menear, 47395 Y&O Road, where trash had been burning in a barrel and spread through the yard.
According to Deputy Chief Bill Bennett, he and two other firefighters were at the station when the call came in, and the fire was stopped just as it reached the edge of a wooded area.

At 2:44 p.m., firefighters from Dixonville, LaCroft, Calcutta and Glenmoor responded to a kitchen fire at 1799 Orchard St., a rental home owned by Frank Bosco.
According to Liverpool Township Chief Mike Bahen, it appears an electrical malfunction set the cooking range on fire, causing minor damage before a township firefighter who happened to be passing by was able to get in and bring the blaze under control prior to the first truck arriving on the scene.
Finally, just moments after 4 p.m., the four departments again were called out, this time to 914 Price St., to the home of Anna Lee Doughty, who had been burning trash.
The fire burned out of control, spreading into a steep wooded hillside, where other trash lay scattered about. Firefighters were sent to the top of Fisher Avenue in case the blaze spread that far, but it was brought under control about a fourth of the way up the hillside.
Bahen said the department was called to the same home four or five years ago for a fire, also while Doughty was living there.
He said the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Forestry Division will cite Doughty for illegal burning for this latest blaze.

The other day I was just minding my own business about to do my business and somehow the short walk in my teeny tiny bathroom caused my feet to become all tangled up and I thrust forward first hitting the toilet and then trying to correct myself fell butt-first into the shower. Taking down the curtain and all.
It was one of those moments I was so glad no one was around to see or hear.
And so of course that is why I'm telling you. Because it's almost more embarrassing that I did that and no one saw. It was hilarious.
I'm in need of a good laugh. Please tell me the last thing that made you laugh so hard you cried.

The Holy Spirit in the New Testament
Dr. Sproul notes that the phrase born-again Christian is a redundancy. There is no such thing as a "non-born-again Christian" or a "born-again non-Christian," because to be a Christian means to be born of the Spirit of God. We are ...Read More
Amos' Prophecy Fulfilled
