The New Organ Liver Prize, a $1 million award for the development of a replacement liver, was announced today by the Methusaleh Foundation, a medical charity committed to driving advances in regenerative medicine to extend the healthy lifespan. David Gobel, CEO of the Methusaleh Foundation announced the liver as the first target of The New Organ Prize at the World Stem Cell Summit 2013, being held in San Diego, organized by the Genetics Policy Institute (GPI).
Gobel explained that the liver was selected as the initial target organ because it is already so well characterized, is deeply vascularized, and has its own regenerative properties. Future prizes will target the heart, lung, and kidney.
The New Organ Liver Prize challenges researchers to develop a replacement liver for a large animal. Competing scientists must demonstrate successful transplantation and function of the new organ through the following criteria: removal of the original organ; survival of the animal for at least 90 days with the new organ; and at least a 75% success rate in a large mammal by 2018.
The Methusaleh Foundation has an additional $500,000 in grant funding available for the purchase of 3D bioprinters (in partnership with Organovo) by university research laboratories that submit a competitive project proposal for review.

Man arrested in connection with attack on Medal of Honor recipient
Kentucky State Police have arrested a Columbia teenager in an alleged assault on Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Meyer was involved in the altercation over the weekend at a venue near Columbia.
WYMT-TV reports Meyer was injured badly enough that he was treated at a local hospital and released.
Police said Thursday they arrested 18-year-old Kanissa'a Thompson and charged him with second-degree assault.
Meyer was awarded the Medal of Honor last year for his actions in Afghanistan. He is credited with saving 13 American and 23 Afghan soldiers' lives in a grueling 2009 firefight.

Such was the unconventional wedding of the former Vice President's youngest daughter, Sarah, 35, to Montecito, Calif.-based pianist Patrick Maiani. The couple said their vows Friday beneath an historic Torrey Pine tree in the beach town of Carpinteria, Calif., before ambling down the street to Crushcakes & Café.
It is a second marriage for the former Second Daughter, an artist whose Beverly Hills wedding to businessman Bill Lee in 2007 was decidedly more upscale – including tens of thousands of dollars in rose floral arrangements alone.
This weekend, the only arranged flowers were the bride's bouquet – of red and white roses with purple hydrangea – plus matching pink corsages for the groom, the father of the bride, and the bride's sister, Kristin. It does not appear that their siblings, Karenna and Albert, attended.
A spokesperson for the former Vice President did not respond to messages seeking confirmation.
"It was a fun little intimate reception. They came in, had breakfast with their wedding party and cut their cake," said Alyssa Murray, the wedding and events manager for the café.
"It was kind of a last-minute thing, and really cute here in our small little beach town. They all had lattes, huevos rancheros and different egg scrambles. It was a very small party – about 10 to 15 people," said Murray.
"We gave the bride a strawberry blush cupcake just for fun," said Murray. A round vegan vanilla bean cake was the official wedding dessert.
Café owner Shannon Gaston tells PEOPLE, "It was shocking. He talked to us, let us take pictures. He was just such a normal person and it was a real, real-family affair. But all of us kept wondering, Where are his security guards?"
Local resident Larry Nimmer was not among the guests, but was getting his regular coffee at the Lucky Llama when, he said, "without warning, Al Gore was suddenly leading his daughter through the field to get married."
Nimmer filmed the event and asked the former Vice President, "What's your advice to have a successful marriage?" Gore simply responded, "No interviews today."
"But then I didn't realize until afterwards, he's separated," said Nimmer. "Although you could say his marriage was successful for a number of years." Check out Nimmer's video below.

LOCKPORT – The Lockport City School District may include a driveway through Kibler Park in a capital project referendum this May, despite word from Albany that no state aid will be available for the work.
The district wants to acquire the park from the city, a move that would require state legislation. It wants the land for a new driveway to Roy B. Kelley Elementary School, which is being expanded to take in students displaced by the planned closure of Washington Hunt Elementary School in June.
District officials say there are already traffic jams around Kelley each morning and afternoon, and an exit from the back of the school would relieve them.
"We haven't discussed it in quite a while," Mayor Michael W. Tucker said.
He had previously told nearby residents who came to a Sept. 19 Common Council meeting to protest the prospect of losing the park that the city wouldn't give the park away if residents opposed it.
Money for the project could be appropriated from a district capital reserve fund, according to Superintendent Michelle T. Bradley and Deborah Coder, assistant superintendent for finance and management services. The fund currently contains a little more than $5 million.
"We were aware [legislation] could take up to a year," Coder said. "A referendum can include several areas. Just because voters say yes, sometimes work doesn't get done. … It takes the state Education Department 18 months to approve a project." "I believe the architect was saying $500,000 [to build the driveway]," Bradley said. "But there's other site work that would need to be done at Roy B. Kelley, such as expanding parking lots."
The use of the reserve fund would prevent the project from having any direct impact on property taxes, Coder said.
Bradley said a Board of Education committee is currently considering which items to include in a capital projects vote at the May 21 district election. She said the committee probably wouldn't report until the board's March 6 meeting.

As American as our stars and stripes, sweet tea and barbeque are what this country runs on. Judging by the 20 pounds Shoya Tanabe, a foreign exchange student from Japan, gained while living with the Altizer family in Mount Pleasant, Tanabe fits in just fine.
He is attending Coastal Christian Prep and has been immersed in East Cooper since August. He'll stay until June, and when Tanabe leaves, his newfound brother Jake Altizer will go with him to stay with his Japanese family for a month.
"Candy is too sweet. Water tastes different," Tanabe said. "I've gained 20 pounds since I came here."
What's his favorite food? "I like ribs. We don't have such big beef (in Japan) like ribs," he said, motioning with his hands that servings of meat are typically smaller in his hometown.
He Skypes with his parents about once a month. "They noticed," he said, laughing about his weight gain. He's still a lean 17 year old. "They saw my face," he adding, rubbing his cheeks.
It was a 14-hour trip with plane rides from his home in Okinawa to Tokyo to California to Dallas and finally to Charleston. He studied English but was overwhelmed by the speed at which everyone talked. "I couldn't communicate with people, but I can now," Tanabe said. "He spoke so slow," he added, gesturing toward Altizer.
"Since he couldn't speak (well), we just played ping pong downstairs and didn't say anything," Altizer, 16, said. "We played Xbox and didn't talk to each other."
"That was so awkward," Tanabe said and laughed.
"He's pretty much been like a brother," Altizer added. "We didn't really have any idea what to expect. He's come pretty far. He couldn't even speak to us when he first came here."
Altizer said the idea to accept a foreign exchange student came as a "spur of the moment thing." He toyed with the idea of learning Japanese and his parents thought he could study in Japan. Instead, they found a website with a lineup of available foreign students.
Tanabe's profile included an athletic history. "Shoya said he played basketball and stuff, so that's who we went with," Altizer said.
"You said a lot of them are weird, right?" he asked Tanabe.
"Yeah," Tanabe responded, laughing.
"Like geek kids?"
Tanabe nodded.
"I got pretty lucky, I guess, since you play sports."
It was a trip of many firsts for Tanabe, including adding a new sport to his repitiore: baseball. As a small school, Coastal Christian students often play more than one sport. The eager 17-year-old played baseball and basketball.
"They didn't have enough people, so I just figured I (would) play," he said. "I couldn't throw any ball. I'm not good at it. I play basketball."
Tanabe told Altizer that he wanted to learn how to play because he'd like to play catch with his children when he's older. "When I get my son, what if I couldn't throw a ball? That'd be awful," he said.
His stay in the United States also included trips to Universal Studios and the White House. He's interested in having a peace relations or ambassador career in the Okinawa government after attending the local college.
There's an American military base in his small province of Okinawa, but he said those service members cause trouble and have frequent run-ins with the law. "I don't want people to hate Americans," he said, "because I like America."
Tanabe said he'll miss his new friends, teachers and coaches but plans to Skype with them. And, he'd like to return to the United States another time.
For now, he misses his 8-year-old brother Takuya. "I only miss him," he said, laughing. "Not my parents or my sister."
Family life is one of the glaring differences between American and Japanese culture, he explained. "I've seen some different things. It's good to live in a different family. We have same dinner," he said, referring to the setting of eating together. "After dinner, we go to each of our rooms. But here, we stay together and talk."
Tanabe said he prefers the extended family time. Perhaps when he and Altizer go to Okinawa, they'll infuse that part of American culture into his Okinawa home.
"I don't know very much Japanese, so it'll probably be pretty hard," Altizer said of his expectations for the trip. "But, I'll only be gone for a month, so it'll just be for fun."
Tanabe said he plans to travel with his American brother to Tokyo to sightsee.
Cynthia Altizer, Jake's mother, boasted about Tanabe. "It's been great," she said. "Jake has two older sisters, 23 and 28 (years old), so he's been like an only child here by himself. Now that he's had Shoya here, they are just like brothers, truly like brothers."

TV Watch
The Little Couple's Bill Klein: Five Fatherhood Life Lessons
Before the new season of his show premieres Tuesday night (10 p.m. ET on TLC), Klein shared with PEOPLE some of the lessons he's learned so far:
1. Dads Can Do Diapers
"I hated changing diapers at first until I got good at it," says Klein, who jokes that at first his job was to "hold Will's legs and gag." But now that his confidence has grown, and he explains: "It took Jennifer not being around to do it to teach me I could do this. I don't know if I could fly a plane if the pilot wasn't around, but I can change Will's diaper on my own."
2. Safety Gates Are Great
"When Will was in foster care, he was in a crib and he rolled everywhere," Klein says. "Now that he has his own bed, we learned quickly that a safety gate on his bed keeps him in so he won't roll out."
3. Lunch with a Side of Heimlich?
When Klein took Will out for his first "guys-only" lunch, he says that he expected that the grilled cheese sandwich he'd selected for his son to be very kid-friendly. Until it turned out the cheese was too stringy.
"I cut it up in quarters, but it must have been too rubbery because he started choking," says Klein. "My fingers were in his mouth before I knew it, getting the piece out. Mom would have done it better, without so much flavor of fingernail I'm sure, but he was OK. We were OK."
4. Grandparent Nicknames Can Be Tricky
"All the grandparents are settling in on their names and some haven't gotten back to me," says Klein. "Jen's dad is pushing El Guapo (Spanish for 'The Handsome One') but I'm not sure that's going to fly."
So far, other names that are being considered are: Pop Pop for Klein's dad, Grammy and Grandma.
5. Make 'Em Laugh
Klein says that while Will loves meal times and play time, nap time can be a challenge. Humor helps.
"Even if Will's miserable, you can make him laugh and then he'll forget why he was sad," Klein says. "Getting him into the bed is the trick, but once he's in there, I'll make him laugh with a face or a tickle and he's happy again."

A magnitude-2.8 earthquake rumbled near Carson City this morning, during commute time for many residents.
The quake's epicenter was about 4.5 miles south-southeast of Carson City and 9.5 miles northeast of Genoa, according to the Nevada Seismological Laboratory.
The quake was one of 14 measuring magnitude-1 or higher that have been recorded in the Carson City area in the past two weeks, according to the Seismological Laboratory. Most have been just southeast of Prison Hill. For more information, go to www.seismo.unr.edu .

8 Hilarious Moments (From Otherwise Terrible Movies)
No Holds Barred (1989)
D-d-d-d-d-d-dooooooooookieeeeee ...
No Holds Barred is a movie about pro wrestling where pro wrestling is real. This requires the viewer to suspend his or her disbelief in two different directions at once. It's like closing your eyes and pretending your wife is someone else, and that someone else is pretending they're not Batman. All of Hulk Hogan's movies have an extra layer like that. For instance, Mr. Nanny was an allegory for matriarchal societies and in Suburban Commando, he was a talking dog fire chief the entire time. Deal with that, your mind.
No Holds Barred is the kind of movie you would write if you were trying to get a film director to kill himself. The script reads like a transcription of a toddler getting its stomach pumped and there are so many non-human hormones pumping through the cast members that each set had to be legally zoned as an animal shelter. It's tough to enjoy even for me, and I take prescription drugs for my Hulkamania just so the California state government will allow me near t-shirts.
However, there's a moment in this movie where Hulk Hogan hulks out so hard that 20 years later, it was the first thing coroners wrote on "Macho Man" Randy Savage's death certificate. Hulk Hogan escapes from a limousine by jumping through the roof and while physics is still trying to figure out what happened, he kills 10 men with pro wrestling. This alone would be amazing enough, but it ends with Hulk Hogan ripping the door off the limo and yanking out the terrified driver. He snarls at him, and not just a little bit. He snarls at him long past the point where it makes sense. It's a good 15 straight seconds of two men making monster sounds at each other. Out of context, you'd swear a rabies doctor had made the world's most unethical sex tape. It goes on for so long that I think Hulk might have forgotten his lines, but that's impossible since his next two lines are "What's that smell?" and "Dookie!?" followed by history's most intense and hilarious awkward pause.
The Pumpkin Karver (2006)
A Harsh Lesson in Farm Safety
It's hard to say why someone made The Pumpkin Karver. It's a slasher film set on a farm where teenagers are partying and a grumpy old man enjoys carving pumpkins. They live in a world where scratching faces into pumpkins is some kind of dynamic field of art, so most of the dialog is about pumpkin carving. The teenagers eventually get stalked by a supernatural ghost monster, who now that I think about, is the one character in the movie that has no interest in pumpkin carving. It's bizarre in stupid, confusing, childish ways. It feels like the filmmaker threw a movie together as an excuse for why he got caught carving dickholes into 3,000 pumpkins.
One character you'll particularly hate is Toga Teen #2. He's supposed to be the comic relief which is strange since the actor playing him has the comic timing of polio. If he worked as a mortuary makeup artist, his boss would describe him as the one with no sense of humor. When he puts his mouth over your asshole, people stop laughing at your farts. The only highlight of the movie comes when this guy leaves the party to climb a tractor combine and pee into a pumpkin patch. Even in a film without an insane reverence for pumpkins, you'd recognize this as horror movie shorthand for "this character is about to die." And holy shit does that happen.
The miserable failure mumbles out a series of anti-jokes as he starts peeing. Most people would stop this once a mysterious stranger starts knifing them in the back, but not Toga Teen #2. He stands perfectly still, continues peeing and wonders who might be responsible for all that knifing. Three chops and half a minute later, the murderer, who is probably as confused by the guy's reaction as the audience is, switches to a new weapon and slices his head off. The head falls directly into what is now a record-breakingly sustained stream of pee. Pumpkin Karver had to really work to get there, but it made it -- this dead asshole was peeing into his own mouth!
Minotaur (2006)
The Minotaur's Rude Interruption
In the early days of planned parenthood, abortions were performed by putting your babies into a maze and letting The Minotaur devour their innocence. It's how the tradition of abortion doctors wearing the heads of bulls got started. The film Minotaur tried to capture this whimsy but missed. The dialog is so clumsy and insane that it feels like the actors are trading lines they overheard from hobo conversations. Plus, it's set back in the time of minotaurs, so everyone has his or her own version of a fruity half-British Renaissance Faire accent. One of the most common misunderstandings in Hollywood is that when an actor hears the words "period piece" he thinks, "Oh, like I'm having my period. Cool, I can talk like that. Hark! Wherefore shan't there be a cock upon mine lips?"
Most of the movie is unpleasant people arguing in a dark maze and the rest is the actor who played Candyman with his shirt off, ad-libbing the creepiest things he can think of. Tony Todd and his nude torso hisses about newborn flesh, his seed and of course The Minotaur. And speaking of, The Minotaur shows up about as often as you'd think it would in a film that has the special effects budget of a movie about minotaurs. That asshole is never there. Dammit, Minotaur, if we liked sitting in a dark maze surrounded by monsters we couldn't see, we wouldn't have cried for help when our parents left us with our birthday magician.
When The Minotaur finally shows up, it's totally worth the wait. The Minotaur may suck in every other possible way, but he has seen Deep Blue Sea, and he has learned a thing or two about dramatic timing. In his best scene, a girl starts telling the other people in the maze how much she hates everything. Unknown to them all, The Minotaur is hiding in the shadows behind her. This is not an easy thing to do when you're 10- feet-tall and your head is a cow. In fact, most minotaur scientists would call into question this entire scene's credibility. But not everything is about you, minotaur scientists.
At the risk of spoiling the only good part of this movie (shown on right), the girl's whining is suddenly and spectacularly interrupted by a minotaur horn blasting through her head and out of her mouth. There are 73 ways to say, "Shut the fuck up" in the Minotaur language, but this one is the most common. What's strange is that the special effects for a spike coming out of a woman's face are good -- far, far better than any of the others in the movie. It's so convincing that I think Minotaur might have been made to cover up a forklift accident someone accidentally filmed.
I won't cue this video up to the cranky girl dying; that way it'll be a surprise when a minute in, a horn explodes her face:
Wicker Man (2006)
Nic Cage's Guide to Etiquette
Wicker Man has several unbelievable scenes, but nothing compares to Nicolas Cage dressed as a bear, sprinting across a meadow and sucker punching a woman. American audiences consider it one of the worst horror films of all time, but in Afghanistan, it's been the No. 1 romantic comedy for four straight years.

Aaron Paul Shows He Knows How to Work the Red Carpet
1. Worship your wife
The actor has never been shy about proclaiming his love for bride Lauren Parsekian, whom he wed in May, but on his big night, he let her shine brightest.
Kevork Djansezian / Getty
It's hard to steal the spotlight from someone as acclaimed as Bryan Cranston, who received another best dramatic actor nomination this year, but Paul found a way.
John Shearer / Invision / AP
While we certainly hope Kiernan Shipka isn't spending Sunday nights watching Paul's AMC hit (or for that matter, her own starring vehicle, Mad Men), we're sure she still recognizes how lucky she is to have scored this close call.
Parsekian may be Paul's ladylove, but his mother, Darla Sturtevant, is never far from his mind, or side, and joined him for an interview with E!. Ten points for adorableness.


text: One of the things I love about AJA is that we are reminded that foreign countries are stuffed to the gills with professors who have credible insights. This morning, AJA was talking to a professor from Indonesia who studies American politics who opined that while Obama's first terms was really Bush's third term in terms of pro business and pro military policies, this second term, thus far, is really Romney's first term, speaking in terms of domestic policy. As the professor pointed out, he becomes baffled when he hears Obama state that Republicans should not be objecting to Obamacare, because its really Romneycare, and Romneycare didn't have a smooth rollout anyway. In other words, while Obama and his supporters want to claim the current healthcare debacle s his signature achievement, he then turns around and gives Romney, the man who he claims to have beaten in 2012, the credit for his signature achievement. As this professor pointed out, Obama stated yesterday that he wants his term to be remembered as the time when gays approached full equality, even as he acknowledged that Romney's Massachusetts was first, and Obama's Illinois was 15th, on marriage equality. The failure of this administration, the professor concluded, is that Obama supposedly beat Romney and what Romney stood for, and now seems to determined to cement Romney's legacy on a national level. Go figure.

Phase-sensitive method for background-compensated photoacoustic detection of NO2 using high-power LEDs
Saarela, Jaakko; Sorvajärvi, Tapio; Laurila, Toni; Toivonen, Juha
Publication type: Artikkeli - Article
Issue date: 2011
Citation: Saarela, Jaakko; Sorvajärvi, Tapio; Laurila, Toni; Toivonen, Juha 2011. Phase-sensitive method for background-compensated photoacoustic detection of NO2 using high-power LEDs . Optics Express vol. 19, num. S4, OSA . A725-A732.

Department: Fysiikan laitos – Department of Physics
A photoacoustic (PA) sensor has been developed for the detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Ten amplitude-modulated high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs), emitting a total optical power of 9W at 453 nm, are used to excite the photoacoustic signal in NO2. The LEDs are attached to the circumference of a cylindrical PA cell. The induced longitudinal acoustics waves are detected using two electromechanical film stacks, located at the ends of the cell. Background signal cancelation is achieved by using phase-sensitive detection of the difference signal of the two pressure transducers. The phase-sensitive approach allows for improved dynamic range and sensitivity. A detection limit of 10 parts per billion by volume was achieved for flowing NO2 gas sample in an acquisition time of 2.1 s, corresponding to a minimum detectable absorption coefficient of 1.6 x 10−7 cm−1Hz−1/2. The developed sensor has potential for compact, light-weight, and low-cost measurement of NO2.

More than a month after a hacker made off with millions of South Carolina tax records, no one seems sure how much of that highly sensitive information has actually been put to use by criminals.
ENROLL IN FREE CREDIT MONITORING AND IDENTITY PROTECTION: The state is paying for taxpayers to receive identity-protection services from Experian for one year. South Carolinians can enroll either online or by phone. To register by phone, call 1-866-578-5422. The hotline is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. To register online, go to protectmyid.com/scdor and use the code "SCDOR123." At some point, that generic code may not work, and residents will have to call the hotline number.PLACE A FRAUD ALERT or SECURITY FREEZE ON your credit RECORDS: Residents can request "fraud alerts" to let potential creditors know they may be a victim of identity theft or request a "security freeze" to restrict potential creditors' access to your credit records. To place a fraud alert, call Equifax at 1-800-685-1111, Experian at 1-888-397-3742 or TransUnion at 1-800-680-7289. To place a security freeze, you must contact each agency individually. Under South Carolina law, the consumer-reporting agencies cannot charge consumers fees for placing, temporarily lifting or removing a security freeze.REGULARLY CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT: Get free credit reports from the three largest credit-rating organizations by going to annualcreditreport.com.FOR BUSINESSES: Both Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. and Experian are offering free credit-monitoring services for all South Carolina businesses that have filed state taxes since 1998. Dun & Bradstreet is offering lifetime credit-monitoring via its CreditAlert product. Visit DandB.com/SC or call customer service toll-free at 800-279-9881. Experian is offering one year of its Business Credit Advantage product at smartbusinessreports.com/SouthCarolina. The deadline to sign up for the Experian service is Jan. 31. There is no deadline to sign up for the Dun & Bradstreet service.
State officials say they don't know how many people have been victimized to date, and critics contend that's because there is no centralized system for tracking crimes related to the breach.
Various state agencies are fielding calls from anxious taxpayers and potential victims, Experian is monitoring credit reports, and individual banks and police departments are said to be taking theft complaints at the local level. But there appears to be no coordinated effort to harness all that information and chart the extent of the damage.
State Rep. Leon Stavrinakis, D-Charleston, said lawmakers have received no numbers on crimes stemming from the breach, and that troubles him. The state needs to have some idea how many victims are out there, if only to gauge its potential liability from lawsuits. "Otherwise, you are just taking the word of the lawyers suing you as to what the damages are," he said.
"I think you have to be able to quantify the fallout from these things just like you have to be able to quantify the mistakes and how to correct them," Stavrinakis said.
One lawsuit already has been filed against the state Department of Revenue over the hacking scandal and more litigation is expected.
The attorney behind the current lawsuit, former Republican state Sen. John Hawkins, said his office has received several calls from possible victims of the hack, but he has no idea how many more might be out there. He said Gov. Nikki Haley should have signed an executive order designating one agency to take the lead on taking reports from victims and laying out a process for that to occur.
"There is a huge vacuum right now," he said. "How are we possibly going to apprehend the hackers if we don't even know who the victims are?"
Rob Godfrey, Haley's press secretary, said the governor has worked with law enforcement, administration officials, business leaders and legislators to ensure every South Carolinian is protected and safeguarded against future attacks. "Critics will criticize, and that's OK — but she's not going to stop driving through this."
In the wake of the breach, Haley quickly moved to secure credit monitoring for affected taxpayers and businesses, and the state hired cyber-security experts to pinpoint how the breach occurred, plug holes and strengthen South Carolina's computer defenses. The path for dealing with the criminal fallout, however, has been less clear.
After some initial confusion, possible fraud victims of the breach were told to report those problems to the State Law Enforcement Division. But a SLED spokesman said this week the agency has been referring victims to local police and that the Revenue Department might be tracking their overall numbers. A Revenue spokeswoman said her agency is maintaining a list of people who call it directly but she couldn't provide any hard numbers Thursday.
In all, the breach affected the records of 3.8 million individual taxpayers, 1.9 million dependents, 699,900 businesses, 3.3 million bank accounts and 5,000 credit card accounts that are now expired.
Experts have warned that the information could be used to steal identities, make fraudulent purchases, raid bank accounts and more. But to what extent has that occurred? No one seems certain.
Take the case of D'Shonda Edmondson, a Charleston mother of two who discovered her bank card was used Oct. 31 to pay a $700 tab at a French nightclub some 4,000 miles away. She suspects the charge is related to the breach, but she has no way of knowing for sure.
"My bank didn't know, and I didn't know who else to call," she said.
SLED has received about 50 calls from taxpayers, most of which came from people wondering how to protect themselves, spokesman Thom Berry said. SLED has been referring possible victims to their local law enforcement agency if they suspect they have been defrauded, Berry said. SLED also suggests victims of hacking-related identity theft call the Federal Trade Commission, which operates a counseling line at 1-877-ID-THEFT.
Berry said SLED received a flurry of calls after state officials revealed the breach last month, "but it has trickled off since then to just an occasional call."
Samantha Cheek, spokeswoman for the Revenue Department, said her agency had "received many calls about the breach and a few concerned calls from individuals who believe they are victims." She said the department is doing its best to assist those who call and is "maintaining a list to continue to assist these individuals in any way that our agency can."

Meet Dr. Katherine Ralston, DVM
For as long as Dr. Katherine Ralston could remember, she wanted to be a veterinarian. "My 6th grade teacher wrote on my report card (that I still have!) 'When you become a vet, I'll bring Clint (his black Labrador) to see you.' As I got older, I discovered more and more reasons why I wanted to pursue veterinary medicine, including the challenge and choices for career focuses."
And in 2008, that dream of becoming a veterinarian became a reality when Katherine Ralston, the little girl from Vandergrift, Pa., became Dr. Katherine Ralston, graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, and full-time veterinarian at the Food Safety and Inspection Service.
It all began with a summer internship
Each summer, from 2005-2007, Ralston interned as a student public health veterinarian, or PHVs as they are called.
PHVs supervise other public health professionals to make certain establishments under the agency's jurisdiction comply with sanitation standards and properly implement systems that control hazards from entering the food supply. They enforce federal meat and poultry inspection procedures and provide humane slaughter oversight, among other things. It was in the humane handling of animals and protecting public health that Ralston found her passion. And she found her calling.
FSIS Offered Opportunity For Growth
Today, Dr. Ralston is a full-time PHV, but she has added Enforcement Investigations and Analysis Officer to her list of duties, along with program recruiter, speaker at conferences, a trainer of new veterinarians and she works with other summer interns. "I know that I am making a difference in the lives of humans and animals everyday as a promoter of public health and proper livestock handling. Every day that I can make a difference in someone's life or be a positive influence to them while performing my FSIS duties, I am happy."
What Keeps Ralston Committed to Her Work?
Ralston is committed to the work she does, she said, because she enjoys it. But more importantly, she said, it is because of the impact her work has on the American consumer. "I love where I am right now. I love being a public servant and I love my job."
What Would She Advise Others Considering a Career at FSIS?
"I have found that a career is what you make of it. There are lots of opportunities at FSIS and if you want to make the best of it, there are lots of opportunities. You have to put in the time and make the effort."
What's Next for Ralston?
In addition to her current job, she said she also dreams of one day owning a competitive quarter horse farm that her parents, siblings and their families can enjoy at their leisure. She also wants to become board certified in preventative medicine and complete advanced studies in equine internal medicine. "Whatever I do, I want to be a positive influence on the lives of everyone I meet," she said.

After last year's noneventful winter, it may be difficult to remember how to drive in the snow and ice.
Winter eventually will return with snow flying, and vehicles sliding off the road. A few flurries are expected this weekend.
From December 2011 through March 2012, 15,526 crashes occurred on snow-, ice- or slush- covered roadways killing 27 people and injuring 4,529, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Speed-related factors were reported as a cause in 72 percent of these crashes, the patrol reported. The number of crashes is about one-half of the winter of 2010-11, but speed as a cause of a winter crash remains about the same.
The patrol is urging motorists to allow extra time to get to their destination, maintain a safe distance between their vehicles and the traffic ahead, pay close attention to bridges and overpasses - as they are often the first to freeze over - and to drive slowly, as everything, including accelerating, turning and braking, take longer on snow-covered roadways.
Everyone dreads waking up on a workday to a fresh snowfall. But taking some simple precautions can increase chances of safely getting to your destination.
Clear away snow from your car's windows and from the entire vehicle. Wait for your car to warm up and melt ice on the windows. Being able to see is a prime need for driving safely. That's also why drivers should clear snow from their vehicles. Snow blowing off a moving car can blind other drivers.
Make sure your windshield washer fluid reservoir is filled with fluid that doesn't freeze easily, and be sure you know where your snow brush and ice scraper are. Buy new ones if the old ones are worn out.
If your destination is some distance away, keep a winter-driving kit in your vehicle.
The highway patrol recommends the kit should include a cell phone with car charger; road flares or reflectors; help or call police signs; a first-aid kit; flashlight; blanket or sleeping bag; a small shovel; bottled water and energy foods; candles and matches; and tow strap or chain.
Many states have phone numbers or websites for up-to-date road conditions. Check ahead to see what you may be facing and change plans accordingly. Also, keep an eye on weather forecasts for that area.
Being prepared is the best way to deal with winter driving. Be patient this winter, and take your time when driving on snow- and ice-covered roads. And, by all means, keep both hands on the steering wheel when roads are treacherous. Texting and calling on cell phones can wait until you safely reach your destination.

•Hunley Waters takes on two Realtors•
A pair of agents with Lowcountry backgrounds will be marketing new homes in a "green" North Charleston neighborhood.
Valarie Frasier and Neil Bansil recently signed contracts as agents for Hunley Waters, according to developer Cobalt Developments LLC. The growing community is off Noisette Creek,
The two Realtors represent Carolina Elite Real Estate, which is at 1081 E. Montague Ave. in North Charleston.
Bansil, who lives in Park Circle, has extensive knowledge of Olde North Charleston and its surrounding neighborhoods, the Hunley Waters developer says.
"As a young, 30-something professional, I know what young families and first-time buyers are looking for in the historic Park Circle district," Bansil says. "This is an area on the move, which has been recognized by This Old House and Bloomberg Business News," he says.
Hunley Waters is affordable for the first-time buyer, he says, and has "tremendous character." Area amenities include the Danny Jones pool, which was just renovated and trendy restaurants and night spots.
Bansil and his wife, who moved to North Charleston from Atlanta, were married in Charleston's Hampton Park in 2006.
Real estate isn't Bansil's sole career. According to Cobalt Developments, he is a veteran of the Toronto comedy club circuit in Canada and now performs at Theater 99 and the American Theater in downtown Charleston.
Frasier, meanwhile, is a greater Charleston real estate veteran. She has the "resource and contacts to help prospective clients buy, or sell, homes," according to Cobalt Developments. Frasier has home listings in Charleston, North Charleston, Hanahan, Goose Creek, Ladson and Summerville.
"I'm determined to meet my client's needs," Frasier says. "Whether you're looking for your first home, dream home or an investment property, I'm committed to providing each client with the highest possible buyer service," she says.
Frasier can be reached online at www.ValarieSellsCharleston.com, by phone at 843-276-8614 and via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Bansil's website and blog is at www.realdealwithneil.com. He also can be reached at 843-714-3855 and email@example.com.
"The local area is exploding and coming alive," says Chris Swan, president of Cobalt Developments LLC. "There is so much interest in Hunley Waters — in the first week of listing with Neil and Valarie, one home is under contract. There are six remaining finished spec homes to view on the development," he says.
According to the developer, Hunley Waters homes are built by Old Man Construction. Lee Moulton, who runs the company, is at 843-870-0597 and email@example.com.
The neighborhood has special financing incentives available for employees of the city of North Charleston, Charleston County, Charleston County School District, SPAWAR contractors and military personnel stationed in metro Charleston, according to the developer.
A gated community, Hunley Waters features waterfront access to Noisette Creek with a dock and pavilion for kayakers. It is a block away from the "bustling" East Montague Business Corridor, the developer says.
Hunley Waters is considered a sustainable residential development and its homes feature National Association of Home Builders green certification.
According to the developer, the neighborhood's homes showcase broad front porches in a neo-traditional Lowcountry design. Floor plans tout 9-foot ceilings, which moderate the indoor temperatures in summer months. Homes boast Energy Star appliances and abundant first floor parking and storage, according to the developer.
•Charleston area new home sales accelerate in first quarter•
A string of healthy seasons in the real estate business preceded the 2007 market locally. But before the year ended, signs emerged of a slowdown.
It was the beginning of the national housing slide which lasted close to five years. Only in the past year has the market begun to right itself, as confirmed by recent figures from Carolina One Real Estate's new homes division.
"What a beginning to 2013 with new home sales outpacing 2007 numbers," says Will Jenkinson, broker-in-charge of Carolina One New Homes. "I anticipate our local new homes market will continue to keep this current pace and finish the year between 2006 and 2007 levels," he says in the division's quarterly Charleston New Homes Snapshot, produced in conjunction with local consultant Real Estate Information Service Inc.
Jenkinson remains a bit cautious. "With all of this excitement, there is also great stress on finished lot inventory and rising construction costs that we must all adjust to this new market," he says.
The first quarter 2013 snapshot takes a look at four sets of figures: permit activity, new-home sales closings, unemployment trends and resales as a percentage of new home closings.
According to Real Estate Information Service, single-family permits rose steadily in 2012 to 3,128, a 17 percent surge from the year before. Home closings, during the same time frame, increased by 10 percent to 2,318 last year.
"As I have said before, this is a great indicator of our improvement in the market, and I project we will see them rise further in 2013, "Jenkinson says.
At the same time, the local unemployment rate is at its lowest point since 2008, he says, and the number of people employed is at its highest level ever, according to totals supplied by Real Estate Information Service.
"We will continue to see more jobs in our market place in the future and like I have said before, jobs equal housing needs," Jenkinson says.
Another chart from the information service compares new home sales with resales thus far in 2013.
"New home sales continue to stay strong in our region, accounting for almost 30 percent of all sales," Jenkinson notes. In Dorchester and Berkeley Counties, new home sales make up more than 40 percent of all home closings."
He expects the new-home sales percentage to climb through the year "as the number of distressed sales continue to decline in our market."
For more information, contact Jenkinson at 843-202-2023 or email@example.com or reach Brian J. Foster, sales and research consultant with REIS, at 843-297-7182 or email@example.com.
•Agents join Century 21 offices in Mount Pleasant, Summerville•
Two professionals who started in the real estate business in the 21st century have signed on with a local affiliate of one of the country's largest agencies.
Kevin Ortega is joining the Mount Pleasant office of Century 21 Properties Plus Inc. and Nereida Cortes will be working from the Summerville office.
The brokerage is pleased to announce that the agents "will be joining our team," says Tim Rash, owner of Century 21 Properties Plus.
Ortega, formerly with Re/Max, has nine years experience in the real estate field and specializes in the residential side of the business.
"We believe his experience will greatly enhance the services we provide to our customers in the Mount Pleasant community," Rash says.
Ortega graduated from St. John's University with a bachelor's degree in finance. He lives in Mount Pleasant with his wife and three children.
"A professional atmosphere and friendly staff makes working here a pleasure," Ortega says. "Century 21 Properties Plus Inc. is a great brand name and I love the location," he says.
Cortes, meanwhile, has seven years experience in real estate, most recently with Keller Williams Realty.
Rash says her experience should substantially boost services for customers in the Summerville area.
Cortes, who specializes in residential real estate, graduated from Hesser College in New Hampshire where she studied business administration. According to Century 21 Properties Plus, she worked for Raytheon Co. in Andover, Mass., for more than two decades before to moving to South Carolina. She was involved in logistics-supply management and facility security working with Defense Security Services.
Cortes says, "The transition from Raytheon to real estate was easy. I brought with me the same dedication and integrity I believe in," she says.
"Making the move to Century 21 Properties Plus Inc. was one of the best moves I have made during my career as a Realtor," Cortes says. "I cannot say enough about our team. I love the sense of family and security here. My motto" — Building 'Real' Relationships for Life! — "fits right in."
According to Century 21 Properties Plus, its sales pros are qualified to help consumers "navigate the opportunities that exist in the local real estate market and provide current sellers with an excellent opportunity to gain additional exposure for their properties."
Anyone interested in seeing Open House listings in Summerville or Mount Pleasant can visit the company's website at www.century21properties.com.
Century 21 Properties Plus Inc. has 15 years of experience in the real estate industry, and, according to the business, is the No. 1 Century 21 in the Lowcountry. It offers advanced technology, comprehensive resources and brand recognition.
The Century 21 Properties Plus offices are at 118 W. Richardson Ave. in downtown Summerville and in the Park West community in Mount Pleasant at 3301 Salterbeck Court. The full service brokerage firm specializes in residential and commercial real estate.
Each Century 21 office is independently owned and operated. For more information, go on the website or call the Mount Pleasant office at 843-856-0021 or the Summerville location at 843-871-2121.
•Street party to be grand opening for Carnes Crossroads•
Marketers of a new Goose Creek development figure a good way to bring people out to see what they're doing is with games, music and stuff to eat.
The result is a Street Party at the Village Green. The event, a grand opening celebration of the new Carnes Crossroads community, will take place noon to 5 p.m. Sunday within the neighborhood off North Main Street (U.S. Highway 17A) east of Summerville.
Carnes Crossroads Real Estate is hosting the party, to include a band, food, and entertainment for the kids.
"We're inviting everyone to come out and celebrate the launch of our community, which is on its way to becoming a wonderful addition to this part of Berkeley County," says Chuck Buck, broker-in-charge at Carnes Crossroads Real Estate.
"It's an opportunity to enjoy some great food and activities for the kids, check out our newly opened model homes and learn more about our developing neighborhoods," he says.
Daniel Island Co. is managing the development of Carnes Crossroads, a 2,300-acre master-planned community near the intersection of Highway 17A and U.S. Highway 176 in Goose Creek. The event is at the Village Green on Wodin Place and 1st Avenue.
Among the festivities will be live entertainment by the Berkeley County School District's popular steel drum band, "Panjamdrum."
Food trucks from Ted's Butcherblock and The Daniel Island Grille will be selling sandwiches, hot dogs and barbecue. Complimentary Italian ice and kettle corn will be available. There will be a jump castle, giant slide and a mechanical bull. WEZL and WXLY will provide music and live radio remotes.
To get there from Interstate 26, take exit 199B onto U.S. Highway 17A (North Main Street). Proceed three miles and take the first left into Carnes Crossroads on 1st Avenue. The Village Green, Model Row of homes and Carnes Crossroads Real Estate are on a street just across from the neighborhood's highly visible green barn.
According to the backers, Carnes Crossroads is designed as a "significant residential and commercial center" for Goose Creek and Berkeley County. Highlights will be traditional residential neighborhoods, southern architecture, parks, trails and lakes "carefully integrated" with retailers, corporate offices, medical buildings, schools and churches. They will form a "small-town community where people live, work and play," developers say.

I got a code from a Dr. Pepper soda cap and it gave me a one month free subscription to Marvel.com's digital comics. I've been reading some of the Capitan America comics, I like Operation Zero Point. Capitan America went to free a scientist who was captured by the Nazis and he was developing flying saucers, or foo-fighters. It was pretty good.
I've also read 1602: Fantastick Four and Iron Man. I have the original 1602 and Fantastick Four carries on the story. It takes place in 1602 and the superheroes are there. The fantastic 4 are sailors on the Fantastick and they chase doctor doom's counterpart to the edge of the world and arrive at atlantis. i like the original 1602, magneto is a high inquisitor during the spainish inquisition and he searches for 'witch breed' (mutants).
1602: New World, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, Civil War are also good. In the Marvel Civil War, I think I'd go with Cpt. America's anti-registration side. I could see were Iron man and Mr. Fantastic were trying to go but they went about it the wrong way. Also, the 50 state initiative while a good idea cheapens their cause. Many of the new heroes are just knock offs of old ones like U.S. agent. So besides cloning thor (thereby making him a homicidal maniac), enlisting the help of super villains (even going so far to provoke war with the Atlanteans by setting up the Green Goblin to shoot Namor and making a deal with the Kingpin),and building a prison in the negative zone (which can cause adverse effects on people making some catatonic) I have little sympathy for the pro-registration side. Stark is moved by emotion and Richards is removed from humanity for the most part.

Give taxpayers a say on Bills' lease deal
With a seven-year lease deal as the "reward" for Erie County taxpayers plunking down a huge amount of cash – which will have to come from either higher taxes on properties or a higher sales tax, etc. – the question begs to be asked: Why isn't this matter put to a referendum of the county taxpayers?
We have no guarantee that the product we'll get for the next seven years won't be every bit as mediocre as what we now have.
The Bills management, in response to repeated questions regarding Ralph Wilson's health, have all but said: The county should be ecstatic that the deal provides for the team to remain here another seven years.
I, for one, would like something more than Wilson has given this area for the past 20 years in return for an expenditure for which I and anyone remaining in Erie County will be paying for for decades to come.
