INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - We have all suffered through a national tragedy of epic proportions that finds the majority of all human beings asking why? The frequency of these horrific events is a sign of a progressive cancer in our nation. What needs repudiation in America, the 2nd amendment or our neo-culture?
Americans have possessed guns since our nation was formed; that has not changed. Is a law abiding American citizen now unable to understand the relationship of gun possession and self-defense? Does your neighbor who owns a gun all of a sudden become a threat to your local public school instead of a deterrent to community crime? Or as I see it are we witnessing a destruction of the culture that once defined the excellence of America and her values? For clarification, I have no argument with the statement that an automatic assault weapon has no place in personal self-defense.
Immediately following the event the president asked us to pray for the victims and their families and then promptly reopened the battle of gun control. Let us not forget that he has led the charge to remove God and the foundations of our religious heritage from our schools and communities in deference to secularism, atheism and the ACLU. In our public schools we now must substitute teaching our children about fairness, sex and alternate lifestyles, abortion and birth control while removing any sense of the importance of the heritage and teachings of our religious beliefs. Instead, our leaders instill a fear of the presence of God in the public arena.
We have glorified the Hollywood anti-moralists who scoff at any conservative or pro-religious idea while presenting the horrors of murder, force the acceptance of gay rights, abortion and sexual practices that for some shock their every fiber of morality and basic human decency.
The real smoking gun uses the ammunition that our once truly excellent public educational systems now load into our children's brain. Instead of schools providing the synergism to strengthen parental guidance, too many children are left with a directionless life surrounded by Hollywood and playing violent video games which treat murder as a shooting gallery game. This was the scene a first-responder described in the Newtown elementary school.
Following the Columbine shootings there were the many calls for gun control as the answer to preventing these crimes. President Clinton finally agreed to a long overdue evaluation on the effects that Hollywood movies and the vicious videogame cultures might have in the crescendoing echo of youth violence. Clinton contrived a 10-year study. Never happened - it remains an unrealized, ignored but even more necessary professional evaluation that the public wants and deserves.
Many of us readily recognize that there is a cause and effect role of the amoral cultural forces which trivialize life, denigrate morality and religion and too often glorify senseless killing. When children or deranged youth kill it is not the gun's fault but the cumulative defects in the learning process instilled into that child. It is time for us to accept that the values of morality, sexuality, religious teachings and strong family values are best taught at home and reinforced, not squelched by our school systems.
When background checks, which include certain forms of illness, are required before the purchase of a gun, but any child can buy a violent game or buy admission to a violent movie, are we completely ignoring the significance of exposing children, never mind an at-risk child, to repetitious violent stimulation? The people who commit acts of violence like witnessed recently have not become severely ill the morning of the incident; there are lingering signs and symptoms of troubled disturbed youth which have been clearly ignored. Certainly mental health facilities need improvement.
The column (12/18/12) of Ed Gurowitz discusses gun control, but is disturbingly vacuous about the exposure of graphic violence on children. Preventative medicine is a hot political topic - teaching patients how to avoid, not just treat, the complications of diseases. Yet we have been ignoring and not even studying the significance of the frequent exposure of our youth to violence and its relationship to the subsequent commission of violent crimes.
This country is not ready for a government and society devoid of God and its associated moral commandments of life. A government which puts the rights of atheists ahead of the rights of religious expression is a government without a blueprint for the moral basis and dignity of life. I am not one of the disgusting self-styled religious "authorities" described by Gurowitz in his column, but I do see the necessity of instilling American values into our youth and protecting their developing brains from the teachings of an amoral Godless culture.

Celebrating how creativity and innovation drive each other is a pillar of Macworld/iWorld and there are few better example of that spirit than the Independent Film Channel.
That's why the minds behind some of IFC's most cutting edge shows will be presenting at this year's Macworld/iWorld: "Portlandia" creator Fred Armisen and Emmy-winning animator Ryan Quincy who will be showing off his new cartoon "OUT THERE."
Friday morning will be an IFC field day on the convention's main stage. First up is funnyman Fred Armisen.
"Fred's an incredible artist, he's a musician, obviously he's well-known from 'Saturday Night Live' and also 'Portlandia,'" Paul Kent, vice president and general manager of Macworld/iWorld, said about Armisen while explaining what he's looking forward to at this year's show.
Armisen is a closet technophile and will be talking with Macworld senior editor Chris Breen about how Apple devices help with his creative process. Though Armisen is best known for his SNL impressions, his comedy show "Portlandia" has become a smash hit on IFC. The sketch show takes place in Portland, Ore., the perfect city for Armisen to poke fun at hipsters and organic farming.
Armisen has appeared all over the media landscape: he's made cameos in prime time sitcoms, appeared in hit movies such as "Easy A" and "Anchorman," loaned his voice to several video games and even guest started on the "This American Life" radio show. If anyone is qualified to talk about how creative people use technology, it's Armisen.
Getting "OUT THERE"
Right after the "Portlandia" star, Ryan Quincy takes the center stage to talk about his yet-to-air cartoon, OUT THERE, with show collaborators Tony Gama-Lobo and Craig Hartin. Quincy worked on South Park for more than 10 years, where he won two Emmy awards for animation directing and producing.
"OUT THERE" is a funny, yet gloomy, coming-of-age tale centered around Chad. The hairy-faced 15-year-old and his best friend Chris struggle with growing up in a small town while battling parents, bullies and boredom.
"It pretty much is about these two best friends being stuck in that limbo of childhood and adulthood," Quincy said in an interview with Allvoices.
"They have each others' backs navigating through high school and growing up in the middle of nowhere."
The trio responsible for "OUT THERE" will talk about how they took the show from concept to cartoon, both creatively and technologically. Quincy and company will also share outtakes from the show and clips from the first few episodes, talk about the behind-the-scenes process and take questions from the audience.
Quincy will bring one of his favorite clips to share with the crowd. The scene kicks off the second episode,"The Quest for Fantasy," in which Chad passes out during a sex-ed presentation. It's actually taken from an awkward chapter in Quincy's own childhood and encapsulates the feel of the show.
"What I like about this clip is it captures that humiliating, horrifying yet hilarious time of your life, when you're 14 or 15," Quincy said.
Armisen also pitches his voice into the "OUT THERE" cast as Terry, a smarmy deadbeat dating Chris's mom. Quincy said Terry has this sleazy charm that he knew Armisen would be able to pull off. And after seeing a few episode of the cartoon myself, I would say Quincy's got that right.
So check out two of IFC's brightest stars this Friday on Macworld/iWorld's main stage. And if you can't, check back with Allvoices as we'll cover both sessions.

4 Dangerously Influential Dimwits
#2. Tom Cruise
My fellow Cracked columnist and the guy who I share a cot with at the Cracked offices, Adam Tod Brown, recently wrote a piece in favor of Tom Cruise and why he gets unfairly shit on. And while I agree with him, as a reader pointed out to him later on Facebook, there is one big issue with Cruise that is not so easily forgiven, and that's his insane devotion to Scientology's hatred of psychiatry.
Psychiatrists are not the devil. I looked into it, and very few are even partially demonic. Scientology believes that psychiatry is a Nazi science and that its history is rife with abuse and fraud. The history of abuse and fraud that Scientology also carries around is therefore ironic and thus hilarious as well.
Cruise has stated publicly that there are no such things as chemical imbalances in the human body and that psychiatry is a pseudoscience. There's such an abundance of evidence that psychiatry and medications like antidepressants do work, however, that it's borderline insane to even start a debate on the subject. Questioning their efficacy is kind of like questioning Lindsay Lohan's acting skills. What do you gain by doing that anymore?
Like, it's like, Romeo, Romeo, where are the for?
Now, the star of Vanilla Sky ranting about stupid shit may not seem like a big deal to you and me, but remember too that Cruise's beliefs are the beliefs of Scientology, and they have actively sought to promote legislation that would criminalize the use of some drugs, especially for kids. So if your child has ADHD and needs medication, Cruise and friends want to see you punished for giving it to him, because in their minds your child just needs to give them a lot of money and get rid of the alien souls that are sucking the life force from their anus, or whatever logical thing it is that Scientology believes.
Scientologists have also managed to weasel into grade schools to deliver anti-drug programs filled with all manner of cockamamie lies and misinformation for kids, like how dependency sets in on your first dose of a drug and how it will be stored in your body fat and come back to haunt you weeks or even years later, like some kind of crazy antidepressant flashback.
#1. Political Policy Makers
Don't get your panties in a twist, Republicans, I'm mainly interested in the policymakers here on both sides of the fence. But to starts with you, the GOP has, in recent years, become the party of saying or doing anything to pander to the most voters it can. It doesn't really have principles anymore, it just wants you to agree with it in a way that is at odds with liberal beliefs. At any cost. And unfortunately, legitimate things like fiscal conservatism have taken a back seat to rampant social conservatism and the touting of hardcore religious beliefs, neither of which should be at the forefront of any political party's platform due to rampant suckitude and shittiness. The result of this is the emergence and spread of things like creationism in schools.
Sit down, kids, you need to hear this -- creationism is not true. And what's more, you can have faith and still understand science. They work together, they really do.
To a certain group of conservatives in the GOP, science and faith are at odds all the time, like Jon Cryer and that Kutcher fellow on Two and a Half Men, I assume, having not watched the show since Episode 2, Season 1. Worse still, some believe that science is liberal and open for debate. It's really not. Science has no politics; it just is. It doesn't want to prove you or me wrong -- it just wants to prove the truth. Science is impartial all the time, even if scientists aren't always. But when people like Donald Trump make climate change a political issue, or others make creationism vs. evolution an issue, it politicizes something that has no business in that realm and, what's more, it makes it seem like it's open for debate. It's not. There is no debate. If you think you can question science, everyone else reserves the right to question what order they get to shtoop your mother.
Get ready for such a shtooping.
Even now, as the Republican Party looks forward to 2016, some of the members that the media is projecting as potential frontrunners to lead the party are being asked questions like how old they feel the Earth is, another question you don't get to have an opinion on, because science already has the answer, and they're either outright refusing to answer or tossing out ridiculous answers like "It's a mystery." You know what's a mystery? What happened to Jennifer Connelly's boobs. The age of the Earth is pretty straightforward.
No one has a choice to believe in evolution any more than they can choose to believe that the sun is hot or that shit stinks. But because some people, either willfully or otherwise, are ignorant of the facts, the GOP has latched onto this and made it a rallying cry. They've turned their policies vs. Democratic policies into God vs. atheist non-believers, or working people against dirty, freeloading hippies. They make it seem like people who want to teach evolution are anti-God and want to rob you of your Christianity, and then it's a slippery slope into gay marriage and welfare checks and heroin overdoses for everyone, isn't it?
But evolution isn't an attack on Christianity. It's science showing you where people who didn't have answers way back in the day got it wrong. It happens. A lot of stuff in the Bible is wrong, and we've come to accept much of that, unless you're holding hard to the law that calls shellfish an abomination or that part in Leviticus that supports slavery. By continuing the faulty debate, on this and any other issues, it sets the country at odds and creates an artificial and ignorant discord solely for the sake of ensuring that people never come together and maybe start to work on bigger problems. It's meant to ensure that you support your party and they support their party and we never find cause to meet in the middle, and it's a dirty-ass trick.
Across the aisle, Dems aren't above selling out to avoid ruffling feathers as witnessed by their hasty inclusion of God and Israel in the party platform. When Republicans saw it was missing, starched and uptight eyebrows were raised. The response was a rushjob to change the language to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and specify people's potential as "god-given" because you want to make sure the opposition approves of your wording when you're running a political campaign, lest someone think you have different ideas.
The liberal media does a disservice to Conservatives as well by choosing the best and brightest twat waffles from the right to keep on the news at all times. In fact, the conservative media is complicit in this as well, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Could you ever get a liberal to agree with any fiscally conservative platform, even one that was 100% sensible and reasonable, if it was being presented by a troll like Bill O'Reilly? Or Ann Couler? Or Glenn Beck? These people are living, breathing shit puddles who sensationalize everything and make it objectionable. The right will never win over the left with fools like this and the left will never listen to the right because they raise the blowhards up and pretend they represent the party as a whole when really they only represent the small but vocal group of prolapsed anuses that somehow learned to speak.
Of course, nowhere was the Democratic machine more in weak, wussy form than in Obama's first debate in which he let Mitt Romney dance a mudhole in him with a good natured smile on his face. And why? Because the GOP goes for the throat while Democrats are happy to just sit back and hope for the best. The entire debate was a really delightful microcosm of current American politics as a whole. Mitt Romney told lies convincingly, Barack Obama let them slide and tried really hard to explain what he thought was best. One side lies, the other closes its eyes and sings "lalala" really loud and then they wait to see if more than 50% of people are standing behind them when it's done.
Fact is, political discourse is broken right now. Issues are never issues, reactions and scare mongering are what wins elections. A huge number of people are ill informed about what they need, what could help them and how they can attain it. And politicians aren't going to educate uninformed voters, they're going to herd them like cattle by dangling prizes. Are you ignorant and hateful of gay people? We're going to ban gay marriage and maybe send them all to France, where gay comes from. Are you ignorant and in need of health insurance? Vote for me and I'll make sure that herpes gets cleared right up!
The problem with running a country like America is that it is not simple. 300 million people need a lot of shit in order to be happy and productive. It's not easy but the majority of those 300 million want it to be easy. They want easy answers, easy lives and easy decisions. So policy makers cherry pick simple ideas, they manufacture drama that you can understand and point you in the direction they want you to go, and then they do whatever they want afterwards because the election's over and you can't do shit about it for the next 4 years anyway. Enjoy those herpes, yo.

Manoa Campus, MSB 100
Richard Grigg
Department of Oceanography
University of Hawaii at Manoa
"Archipelago, the origin and discovery of the Hawaiian Islands"
Abstract: It is well known that the Hawaiian Islands were created by movement of the Pacific Plate over a fixed hotspot in the mantle of the earth. The discussion will present a general overview of the hotspot theory and supporting evidence.
Having laid this foundation, the results of long term studies of coral reefs by Grigg and others will be described using the chronology of lava flows, as well as, the islands, seamounts and guyots in the Archipelago.
The Darwin Point experiment will be described which suggests that the Hawaiian Islands drown at the end of the sub-aerial chain because coral reef growth does not keep up with subsidence and erosion of the islands. The absence of coral reefs in Hawaii in the early Tertiary is also described.

A Kentucky-based company that also has stores in East Tennessee is getting its own television show on the DIY network.
The Advocate-Messenger Lancaster-based Rocky Top Log Furniture and Railing will be the sole focus of the new show called "LogHeads" that is expected to air this summer on the network, which is owned by Knoxville, Tenn.-based Scripps Networks.
The first episodes will focus on how the company builds a log cabin from scratch for a family who lost their home in a fire while keeping other aspects of the business running normally, including stores in Dollywood and Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
The show will feature "Kentucky craftsmanship at its best," says Tommy Mitchell, who owns the business with his wife, Gwen.

Kevin Lowe addressed the most pressing issues facing the Oilers in his post-season press conference yesterday. I'm going to quote the Edmonton Journal article "Lowe likes what he sees" which hit my front porch this morning.
"Am I concerned about our RFAs? Not one bit. We have lots of cap room and we know the players we like, so we'd match the offer if we chose to. If we think it's too high, we'll take the picks. We're in a great position. We have lots of depth in the organization. Having said that, we have had some positive contract negotiations, so I don't think it will even get there, but we will deal with it if we have to."
Pitkanen, Grebeshkov, Gilbert, Stoll and Nilsson are all rfa's and all but Stoll are looking at nice raises. The 3 defensemen on that list are a big part of the future and represent half of the top 6 on the blueline. Nilsson had a breakout season this year and Stoll is an important part of the club if healthy. There are rumors Pitkanen may be dealt and that Stoll might be taken to arbitration. My own feeling is that it would be foolish to deal Pitkanen and they lack the depth to force anything with Stoll. Grebeshkov, Gilbert and Nilsson are no-brainers unless another team makes a silly RFA offer.
MY GUESS: They all sign and the D get more money than anyone thought they would. Stoll going to arbitration is a long shot I think, the Oilers probably get it done moments before the hearing (although they have a helluva case). Nilsson gets a nice contract.
"Prior to the last six weeks, I was anticipating we'd be in that (big money zone for an offensive free agent). Whether we got him or not remained to be seen. And not that we won't look and try to be active but we won't go into free agency like we did last year. We don't have to bring players in. We will if we can."
It was an amazing 6 weeks but the Oilers roster could still use a shooter. The team leader this season in shots was Dustin Penner (201) followed by Stoll (187) and Hemsky (184). No other Oiler topped 140. Penner ranked 71st overall, Stoll 86th and Hemsky 92nd, so although the Oilers had 3 shooters near the top 90 (which would be league average) all of them are in the bottom 30 of that group.
MY GUESS: Lowe trades for a sniper this summer.
"We have to make some changes. We didn't make the playoffs. In terms of the overall outlook of the team, we have a lot of forwards and we're going to have some tough decisions. Jarret's going to be in that category. Raffi had an off year. We're going to have to spend a lot of time deciding who's going to be in our top 12. We have a lot of options."
Stoll has the confidence of the coach and that trumps all in my opinion. MacT would probably be most comfortable starting next season with 5 centers (Horcoff, Cogliano, Stoll, Brodziak, Reasoner) and so Raffi is probably the odd man out.
MY GUESS: Torres, a young D and Schremp for a marksman.

COLUMBUS - With Seth Williams making his third-straight trip to Columbus and Derik Kopp going down for the second time, Columbian coach Chad Long had high hopes for his veteran charges at the Division II state wrestling tournament.
On Day One, they delivered.
Kopp and Williams scored opening-round victories, advancing to today's championship quarterfinals and keeping the dream of a state title alive.
Article Photos
"The experienced kids that have been there, they can accept that fact that there's a lot of pressure on them and everything else," Long said. "I thought Kopp wrestled outstanding and I thought Seth did enough to win."
Kopp locked up against Andy Dobben of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in his 132-pound first round match, and held control nearly the entire way, posting a 9-5 victory.
Williams, at 152 pounds, grinded out a 5-2 win over Ifa Abduljelil of Whitehall-Yearling. However, Williams and Long agreed the returning third-place finisher from a year ago wasn't at his best.
"I didn't really eat that much, as much as I should've after I weighed in. Not making excuses, but I was a little tired," Williams said. "After eating tonight, (getting) some rest, I'll be ready to go tomorrow. Win by one, win by 10, it's all the same."
"He just didn't have to go-go juice," Long said. "Trying to get down to weight, his weight's still fluctuating right now. Everything he eats, he has to cut all that weight to get down to 152. It's been messing with him here. We're going to get some food in him and hopefully he looks a lot better here in the quarters."
No matter how it comes, Williams said it always helps to get through that first match.
"Getting that first match out of the way, it's good to get things in motion, get me in my attack mode," Williams said.
In his quarterfinal match, Williams will see a familiar face in David Brian Whisler of Warren Howland, whom Seth has trained with in the past.
"Obviously that kid knows what you do and now we just got to counteract," Long said. "This is a whole different atmosphere down here. Whisler was here last year. However, Seth has been here for three years now. He's going to feel a lot of pressure and I think Seth can beat him on his feet."
Correll's debut at state didn't go the way he planned, dropping his first match in the 138-pound bracket by pin in 53 seconds to Heath Lange of Indian Lake.
"He fought hard, he was bridging, but when you get down here, you're going to have good pinners no matter where you go and who you wrestle," Long said. "It's just unfortunate that's what happened."
Correll though battled back in his consolation match, scoring an 11-5 win over Logan Johnson of Newark Licking Valley.
"It was rough," Correll said when asked to describe his first day at state. "I got pinned my first match and that's the first time all year I've been pinned. It was kind of overwhelming walking out and seeing the big crowd, but after I got used to it, I came back and won my second match. I'm pretty happy overall."
Correll held control nearly the entire way in his consolation match, earning him the right to come back today with a chance to work his way up to as high as a third place finish.
"I got a takedown right away in the first period. Then after that, I controlled the match basically," he said.
The Division II championship quarterfinals will start today at 10:35 a.m. Kopp is slated to be the first Tornado to take the mat as he will lock up with Kade Kowalski of Dresden Tri-Valley. Williams' match will soon follow with Correll competing the consolation bracket, scheduled to start at 12:15 p.m.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
In an effort to strengthen its molecular diagnostics offerings, Roche has just nabbed Massachusetts-based firm IQuum, a company that develops point-of-care products for molecular diagnostics. Roche will pay IQuum shareholders $275 million upfront and up to $175 million in product-related milestones. IQuum will be folded into Roche Molecular Diagnostics once the merger is complete.
With the acquisition, Roche is getting IQuum's Laboratory-in-a-tube (Liat™) System, which IQuum says allows healthcare workers to perform rapid molecular diagnostic testing in a point-of-care setting, along with the Liat Analyzer and Liat Influenza A/B Assay, the first test available for use on the system.
But, that's not Roche's only big purchase today: The Swiss firm also inked a deal with Spanish firm Oryzon Genomics to research, develop, and commercialize inhibitors of lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1; KDM1A), an epigenetic modulator that regulates gene expression. Among the inhibitors that are part of the deal is Oryzon's lead molecule ORY-1001, which right now is in a Phase I/IIa trial for acute myeloid leukemia.
Per this deal, Roche is paying Oryzon $21 million upfront and for near-term milestones, plus potential milestone payments that could exceed $500 million across hematology, cancer, and nonmalignant indications. Roche will also pay royalties on sales that range up to mid-double digits.
A two-year collaborative research program between Oryzon and Roche's Translational Clinical Research Center (TCRC) is also a part of the deal, the aim of which is to understand the potential of LSD1 inhibitors in oncology and hematology.
"Our TCRC in New York has been launched with a mandate to identify partnerships that drive innovation, providing an industry-leading conduit between sources of breakthrough science and the broader Roche organization," John Reed, Roche's head of pharma research and early development, said in a statement. "This collaboration on LSD1 inhibition with Oryzon fulfills that mandate perfectly."

THE DOUBLE. By George Pelecanos. Little, Brown. 292 pages. $26.
George Pelecanos has written a book that is more than a formulaic thriller. It explores the effects of war on those who serve in the battlefield.
His protagonist, Spero Lucas, is a private investigator pursuing right over wrong with his own code of justice, a former Marine whose experiences in Fallujah, Iraq, are part of who he is.
The main story involves a stolen painting valued at around $80,000. In discovering the thugs who have it, Lucas finds he is dealing with the most dangerous of men, those without a conscience, the lowlifes of society.
The story builds slowly, but it's well worth the wait for the hold-your-breath scenes. There is almost a biblical sense of "smite thine enemy" in the telling.
Many scenes are disturbingly graphic, but Pelecanos tells the story his way and leaves it to the reader to decide whether justice has been served.
Reviewer Frances Monaco is a writer in Charleston.

Company Scores Highest Possible Marks in Technology and Solution Ownership, Enterprise Print Support and MPS Market Experience
West Caldwell, NJ, May 15, 2012 - Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced it has been named a Leader in the "The Forrester Wave™: Managed Print Services, Q2 2012(1)" report released May 10, 2012. Ricoh was among the seven selected companies that Forrester evaluated in the May 2012 report which says leaders "emerged as the strongest MPS (managed print services) offerings due to strong global deployment, complete support for office and production requirements, and integration with ITO (information technology outsourcing) support." Forrester gave Ricoh and its Managed Document Services (MDS) program highest possible marks in "technology and solution ownership," "enterprise print support," and "MPS market experience.""Ricoh has a strong mix of capabilities with enhanced device monitoring," the report continues.

Surveyed enterprises noted Ricoh's strong execution and responsiveness to out-of-scope tasks such as security integration challenges. Continued focus on change management, improved device management, and extending services beyond MPS to office workflows and document management will ensure strong growth in MPS."Ricoh MDS is the company's exclusive approach to managed print services. It encompasses the three fundamental parts of document management — input (the creation of information), throughput (how information moves around a business), and output (processing information in a way to add business value). Ricoh MDS directly addresses top business concerns such as cost control, environmental sustainability, information security and governance, business process efficiency, organizational change management, information worker (iWorker) productivity, information optimization and strategic infrastructure. "We're pleased that, through Forrester, we believe that organizations around the world have another opportunity to learn how Ricoh is leading the evolution of MPS and helping customers achieve their most important business goals," said Sergio Kato, Deputy General Manager, Global Marketing Group/Services Business Center.

Westminster Man Pleads Guilty to Counterfeiting State Seal to Fake Engineering Credentials
A Westminster man who has been posing as a professional engineer pleaded guilty this morning to one count of counterfeiting a public seal in Howard County Circuit Court this morning. Lawrence D. Novakowski, 51, of the 3000 block of Nicodemus Rd. pleaded guilty to using the Maryland state seal to fake credentials that enabled him to work at a Columbia engineering firm.
Senior Assistant States Attorney Kim Oldham told Judge Timothy J. McCrone that State Board of Professional Engineers and the Maryland Department of Licensing and Regulations Division of Occupational Licensing (DLLR) launched an investigation into Novakowskis credentials in July 2009 after receiving a letter of complaint from a Sparks, MD engineering firm that formerly employed Novakowski. The Sparks firm alleged that Novakowskis credentials were fraudulent and also notified his-then employer in Columbia.
According to Oldham, when confronted by his employer Novakowski stated that his license had been suspended due to child support issues but indicated that he was about to be reinstated. Shortly thereafter, he produced a forged letter from DLLR indicating that his suspension had been lifted. Oldham stated that the person who signed the letter does not exist. Oldham also told the court Novakowski was not a licensed engineer and that the license number he possessed belonged to another individual and that it had expired in 2001.
A DLLR investigator subpoenaed documents from Novakowski who produced framed college diplomas including one from Johns Hopkins University, plus additional engineering licenses from the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All documents were deemed fictitious and Novakowski later admitted to purchasing college transcripts and degrees from an online source for $500.
Novakowski will be sentenced on July 1. Oldham indicated that under terms of the plea agreement she will ask Judge McCrone to sentence Novakowski to two years of active incarceration.

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia, ranked 11th in the Associated Press preseason football poll, should be a solid favorite in the Sept. 1 season's opener against Marshall.
But the Mountaineers can't afford to take the Thundering Herd lightly. Doc Holliday could have a few surprises up his sleeve.
Who can forget that just two years ago? West Virginia had to go overtime for a 24-21 victory over Marshall in Huntington.
That was Holliday's first year as a head coach at the college level. And he probably feels Marshall played well enough to have won that nail-biter.
Forty-eight lettermen returned from last year's Marshall team that lost 34-13 to WVU in Morgantown.
Hopefully, the Mountaineers won't take James Madison lightly either in that Sept. 15 meeting at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. That will be "Sam Huff Day" in honor of the all-time Mountaineer and NFL legend.
James Madison went into Blacksburg, Va., two years ago and upset nationally ranked Virginia Tech. The Dukes were 8-5 last year.
Coach Mickey Matthews has 50 lettermen returning, including 17 starters.
But coach Dana Holgorsen and his WVU staff are pleased with what their players accomplished in fall camp.
"No question, I am satisfied," defensive coordinator Joe DeForest said about his group's performance. "We are exactly where I thought we would be.
"There have been some players that have risen to the top. We have so much healthy competition that the guys are fighting for playing time."
But DeForest hastened to add that all jobs are open, with starters.
Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said, "I think we're better everywhere. If you look at our first group, our O-line is solid and we have four good receivers.
"We wanted to find the best four guys to put on the field, and I feel like we've got that. And quarterback Geno Smith is what he is.
"And our running backs have been great. Our first group is solid and I feel like they're all better than they were the first day of camp."
WVU coaches have indicated that they will be making definite personnel decisions before this week is out. At the same time, they will be mapping a game plan for the Marshall lid-lifter.
Dawson said, "We don't ever game-plan anybody the week before the game. Some people game-plan all summer, and I'm just glad I don't work for people like that."

Grown men had tears in their eyes after listening to Tracy Martin talk about his son and the outcome of George Zimmerman's murder trial, according to those who heard him when Martin was in Buffalo this week to attend a Masonic convention.
The father of slain teen Trayvon Martin was honored with a proclamation, and he talked about his son during an emotional gathering as part of the International Free and Accepted Modern Masons and Order of the Eastern Star convention in the Hyatt Regency Buffalo.
Martin had arrived in Buffalo after a jury Saturday night acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter. He had been charged in the shooting death of the unarmed teenager whom he began following because he considered the youth suspicious.
Martin described an entirely different young man who would have gone on to do great things, according to those who heard him. He left Buffalo on Wednesday night for New York City to do a round of network television interview programs Thursday in which he similarly said he wished the jury "really knew Trayvon for who he was."
He and Trayvon's mother are waiting to see whether the U.S. Department of Justice charges Zimmerman with violating Trayvon's civil rights, as the family contemplates filing a civil lawsuit.

The Upshur County Board of Education meeting this week left West Virginia State Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares with a lasting impression.
The meeting is usually conducted in a classroom inside Buckhannon Academy Elementary School, but had to be moved to the school's gymnasium because of the anticipated number of guests, said Adrienne Hissam, the executive secretary to the local superintendent. She estimated that more than 200 people were in attendance Tuesday. The available seating was filled, and some visitors had to stand.
"I'll tell everybody that when I went to Buckhannon Academy (Elementary School) for their board meeting, they had more people there than any other board meeting that I've ever attended," Phares said.

West Virginia State Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares speaks at Tuesday's Upshur County Board of Education meeting.
"The thing that I've always noticed about Buckhannon and Upshur County was the fact that you're always in the pursuit of excellence," Phares, who resigned as the Randolph County Superintendent of Schools to accept the state position, told those in attendance.
More than 100 certificates were awarded from the local school board to students for varied academic achievements. Phares also recognized three teachers who were recently awarded Arch Coal honors in a prestigious teacher awards program: Union Elementary School teachers Brooke Scott and Megan Bacorn, and Buckhannon Academy Elementary School teacher Virginia Hicks.
"I'm proud of this county, and I'm proud of people who work here," Phares said.
Phares also noted that Upshur County schools have steadily improved scores on the WesTest, have successful building programs and have stable school board leadership.
Phares also spoke about West Virginia Board of Education changes, and how they might affect schools throughout the state. He said that the funding for 16 positions at the state Board of Education is being redirected into county schools, along with the funds from 10 positions where employees recently retired that will not be filled.
He said that for the first time, professional development funding will go directly to the county school systems this year and in following years.
"We feel that money will best be spent there. I think that tells you that we're serious, and what we're serious about is we all want you to own student achievement in your counties," Phares said, adding that the state school board wants to get away from telling county boards and teachers what to do, how to do it and what resources to use.
"What we're doing is providing a lot more flexibility to local boards," Phares said. "We feel that the decisions on how teachers need to be trained - what they need to be trained in - is best decided at the local level, is best decided by the teachers.
"I guess some would call it a risk; I don't," Phares continued. "I have a firm belief in teachers and in building principals. They know what they need to do, and they can get it done. What I'm trying to do as a policy maker is free them up so that the principals can lead their schools, and so the teachers can teach."

You can barely listen at this point. A handful of players show up on media day and mouth the usual platitudes. They talk about pride and the importance of playing at a high level. They claim a mutual disdain for the Jets, but show no genuine hostility toward Sunday's opponent.
Everyone was going through the motions at One Bills Drive, even the reporters. It was like a wake in the locker room. They should have had a guest register and Mass cards at the door.
It's sad. One way or another, a lot of faces are bound to change next year. Even in good times, there's a sizable changeover on an NFL roster from one year to the next. But as Eric Wood said after the loss in Miami, people lose jobs after a season like this one. It's part of the business.
"It could be," said George Wilson. "I'm not going to stand here and speak in hypotheticals. We'll have to wait and see. That's everybody. I don't think anybody in this building should be completely comfortable with where we are or where our team has been."
The Senator is right. When a team has underachieved to this extent, no one should be safe. You look around that locker room and realize a lot of the old, familiar faces, might be gone. That includes a lot of the old guard, stand-up guys like Wilson, Chris Kelsay, Nick Barnett, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Terrence McGee.
The list will be long, especially if Chan Gailey gets fired as head coach. That seems more likely by the day. The longer it goes, the more Gailey looks and sounds like a Dead Man Walking, like a lost, discouraged soul who knows his time as the head man is very short.
This year seems even more disspiriting than other late Decembers. I can't recall such a suffocating sense of resignation within a team. That's probably because Gailey, a decent guy who lacks the capacity for phony rhetoric or manufacured emotion, seems like the most defeated man of all.
Gailey is almost apologetic about his plight, as if he's disappointing people. Surely, he must feel he is letting down his boss, Buddy Nix. Gailey has put Nix into the excruciating position of firing his old friend.
On the day of Gailey's hiring in early 2010, Nix told us he "didn't ask for" the responsibility of hiring the head coach. So you have to imagine he wouldn't relish the task of cutting Gailey loose after three years, with time left on his contract. Ralph Wilson isn't fond of paying people not to coach.
Gailey said Wednesday that he had not gotten any indication during the previous two days about his job security. He had been asked the same question Monday and said he wouldn't let on if he did know.
Are you tired of answering that question, he was asked? "Yeah," Gailey said, " 'cause I wish we'd won more so it wasn't an issue."
He was asked what he felt would justify keeping his job.
"I'm trying to do the best I can every day," Gailey said. "That's not my decision. I understand that."
You're tempted to grab Gailey and say, "Show some emotion, for God's sake!" Blow up at a reporter. Throw a clipboard. How about a little more Rex Ryan and a little less Mister Rogers? Act like a coach and display some passion.
The notion of the football coach as a raving motivator can be overdone at times. But if it was a myth, we wouldn't celebrate Vince Lombardi and Woody Hayes. You've seen Gailey on the sidelines during games. How does a coach with that mild demeanor inspire passion in a bunch of NFL players?
Presumably, they've been playing for Gailey's job the last three weeks. You wouldn't know it. If anything, they seem to be going through the motions. Why would you expect anything more, when Gailey himself seems incapable of mounting a passionate case in his own defense?
When he was asked what might justify him staying, Gailey could have said something more rousing than he was trying his best.
Come on, you've got to do better than that, Chan. Talk about the offense being in the top 20 again. Brag about the gaudy average per rush, the top-rated punt returns. Talk about the defense's improvement. Play the "continuity" card. Twist statistics, if you must. It always works for me.
The way Gailey talks, it's as if even he believes he deserves to be fired. I admire his honesty, but is this the sort of guy you want coaching one of the 32 teams in the most important sports league in American history?
It's no wonder the Bills come out flat for games. Rex Ryan, who is 5-0 against Gailey, is on the hot seat, too. But I suspect the Jets will be motivated Sunday. They had nothing to play for in the finale two years ago, remember, and blew out the Bills with a bunch of backups.
Beating the Jets shouldn't matter, anyway. If Nix needs to see more, he shouldn't be running an NFL team. Bringing Gailey back would be an embarrassment. It would only affirm that the Bills are playing to a lower standard than other NFL teams – after they signed a new lease and floated the promise of a new stadium a decade down the road.
But this is Ralph Wilson and the Bills, so you never know. Maybe they'll give Gailey another year. If that happens, I'll be sure to ask him, "Chan, now that you've had more time to think, what exactly was it that justified bringing you back?"

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
AstraZeneca and Evotec have launched a research collaboration focused on developing new drugs for kidney disease—the second partnership involving entities of the pharma giant and the German drug discovery alliance and development partnership company. The value of the collaboration was not disclosed.
Evotec said today it will license a series of molecules identified by its own drug-discovery platform to AstraZeneca as part of a systematic kidney disease initiative. The molecules are possible candidates for addressing a key mechanism in chronic kidney disease. AstraZeneca will provide pharmaceutical development expertise and marketing capabilities for the compounds, as well as industrial scope and scale for manufacturing.
Evotec will receive from AstraZeneca an undisclosed up-front payment, research funding for work to be conducted with AstraZeneca, and payments tied to undisclosed preclinical, clinical, and regulatory milestones. Evotec is also eligible for additional future milestone and royalty payments related to commercialization of products developed through the collaboration.
Kidney disease is within one of three AstraZeneca core therapeutic specialties identified in March by CEO Pascal Soriot. The first is cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (CVMD); the second is oncology; and the third is respiratory, inflammation, and autoimmunity diseases. Soriot halved the company's number of core therapeutic areas in March as part of a restructuring that will continue through 2016, eliminating an additional 3,900 jobs.
Within CVMD, AstraZeneca focuses its small molecule R&D on potential new treatments for strategic areas that include diabetic nephropathy and end-stage as well as chronic kidney disease.
"Our goal is to identify and develop effective therapies to halt or slow down the decline of renal function for patients suffering from kidney diseases," Marcus Schindler, Ph.D., vp and head of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases iMed iScience with AstraZeneca, said in a statement. "This new collaboration complements our research efforts in the renal disease space."
AstraZeneca joins numerous biopharmas in establishing long-term drug discovery collaborations with Evotec—including AZ's own MedImmune subsidiary, with which Evotec has a diabetes collaboration stretching back to December 2010. In January, Evotec received a payment of €500,000 (about $682,750) for reaching an undisclosed "key" milestone, triggering the granting of a commercial license to MedImmune and an extension of the companies' collaboration through this year.
Evotec has additional discovery alliances with partners that include Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, CHDI, Genentech, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, and Ono Pharmaceutical. In addition, Evotec has existing development partnerships and product candidates—both in clinical and preclinical development—with Boehringer Ingelheim, MedImmune, and Andromeda (Teva) in diabetes, with Janssen Pharmaceuticals in depression, and with Roche in Alzheimer's disease.

Oh, it is a tough call between La Mer and Mediterranean but I think I would have to go with the Mediterranean Holiday items! I LOVE maps and have quite the collection in my home so it would be perfect!

9Krissa Walters SAYS:
I absolutely love the Red Dots collection…she has some amazing stuff….I absolutely love it!

10Julie SAYS:
To say I am obsessed with Rosanna Inc.is a complete understatement! Some people collect stamps, others dolls, I collect crockery and Rosanna inc.'s is like the "caviar" of all crockery! To pick a favourite would be impossible! But when I first saw the 12 Days of Christmas back in 2004 when I first moved to Switzerland from South Africa, I knew I had to have it! So I have been pinning over them for years, and when I saw to my horror that they were to be discontinued I knew I had to make a plan, fortunately this year we were going to the US on holiday for the first time and friends live in Seattle so I sent myself the plates as a gift to me to their address. And for their willingness to be my post box I bought my friend the La Patiserrie compotes and a C mug. Christina who has lived in Seattle most of her life, was shocked that she had never heard of Rosanna inc.. Needless to say she is now a new convert:) So would I love to win the plates? A huge yes please!
11Bridget SAYS:
The boho holiday glass would look so beautiful with my red christmas plates, and I love that they are recycled glass. I am in love with the spindly winter branches etched into them.
12Jen SAYS:
I am torn between the La Patisserie collection and the Olive Oil collection. They are both fanatstic!
13Michelle Maddox SAYS:
I love the You Are Special design. It's so fun and really reminds me of a childrens book. LOVE IT!
14Melinda SAYS:
I love the Heavenly Glass collection.
15Blair SAYS:
I love the Bon Voyage and the La Mer lines!
16Stephanie Flies SAYS:
There really are too many great options to choose from! But I would have to say that I especially love the Mondo collection.
17Stacey SAYS:
So many beautiful things! I am a fracophile, so anything french-inspired would be on my list!
18Stephanie SAYS:
I love Rosanna! I have a set of Rosanna vases by the whirlpool in my master bathroom. Some items I've had my eye on lately are the Red Velvet place settings and the Mondo glass. The 12 Days of Christmas plates are pretty cute, too!
19Maureen SAYS:
The beach glass bottles – too pretty.

After a 113-day lockout and 625 lost games, we are finally going to have a hockey season. It could begin Jan. 19.
It's game on for the National Hockey League after the NHL and the players' union reached a tentative deal early Sunday morning on a 10-year collective-bargaining agreement to end the lockout and avert the league's second canceled campaign in eight years.
Much of North America was sleeping when the sides agreed to the deal at about 4:40 a.m. in the Hotel Sofitel in midtown Manhattan after a marathon 16-hour session that included federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh. It was 5:45 a.m. when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL Players' Association Executive Director Donald Fehr addressed reporters to announce the lockout was over.
"We have reached an agreement on the framework of a new collective-bargaining agreement" were Bettman's words that ended the nightmare for hockey fans on both sides of the border.
"I learned of the deal when I woke up to my wife saying, 'Yay, it's over,' " Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller said in a text message to The Buffalo News on Sunday afternoon from his home in Southern California.
There were no media briefings Sunday, and most NHL teams, including the Sabres, made no official comments while awaiting word from the league on how to proceed. The deal still needs to be ratified by both sides, though that is considered a formality.
"I'm really happy a deal has been reached," Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "It's exciting to know we will be back playing hockey."
The Sabres have not played a game since April 7 in Boston, their final game of the 2011-12 season that ended with their missing the Stanley Cup playoffs. They have not played in First Niagara Center since an April 3 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, a nine-month absence from the home ice that has wreaked havoc with the bottom lines of downtown bars, restaurants, hotels and workers that staff the arena and its environs.
Teams will hold training camp this week, with CBC reporting late Sunday night that the league has recommended camps open Saturday or next Monday in preparation for a 48-game season that will begin Jan. 19. The league is hoping to firm up those details today. A similar lockout in 1995 ended Jan. 11 and produced a 48-game schedule that began Jan. 20 and lasted into early May.
This work stoppage wiped out more than half the season's calendar. The biggest game lost was the Winter Classic, which was scheduled to be played New Year's Day between the Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. The All-Star Game slated to be played Jan. 27 in Columbus, Ohio, was also canceled. The highlights of the new deal look like this:
• It's a 10-year term with an opt-out by either side after year eight. So that means no more labor issues until 2020 at the earliest.
• There will be a 50-50 split of revenues between the players and league, with the NHL providing $300 million in make-whole money to fund previously signed contracts.
• For this season, the salary cap for player contracts is $70.2 million, based on a full season of 82 games. The cap for next year will drop to $64.3 million, which was one of the most contentious issues. The league had wanted that figure also to be at $60 million. The salary cap floor the next two years will be $44 million.
• Teams will be allowed two amnesty buyouts of player contracts, beginning in June. The contracts will have to be paid at two-thirds of their value, but the entire value will be removed from a team's cap. The buyouts must be used up following the 2014-15 season, either by one in each year or two in one year and none in the other.
• Player contracts will be limited to eight years for returning players or seven years for free agents, with contract salary variance capped at 35 percent per season. The league had wanted as little as a 5 percent variance. The salary of no year will be allowed to be less than 50 percent of the highest-paid year.
• Revenue sharing between teams will be pumped to $200 million, with a $60 million growth fund put in place.
• The union will also have defined pension benefits, with owners assuming liability.
• The draft lottery will be weighted, with all 14 nonplayoff teams having a chance at the No. 1 pick. Previously, only the top five teams were able to move to No. 1.
• In other issues, the players stood firm on the July 1 opening to the free agency period, and that will remain. NHL players' participation in next year's Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and a geographic realignment of the NHL's teams for next year were not part of the agreement and will be worked on through league committees.
"The negotiated agreement represents the successful culmination of a long and difficult road in which the parties ultimately were able to reach mutually acceptable solutions to a wide variety of contentious subjects of bargaining," federal mediation and conciliation director George Cohen said in a statement.
Players were given details in a conference call with union officials Sunday night.
"We have to do the legal work, we have to do the constituent communication work, and, at least from my standpoint and from Gary's, too, we need to let them know the details before we tell all of you," Fehr said. "We'll get back to what we used to call business as usual just as fast as we can.
"Hopefully, within just a very few days, the fans can get back to watching people who are skating and not the two of us."
Bettman had threatened to cancel the season as soon as Thursday if a deal was not reached. That's what happened in 2004-05, and most hockey experts felt the damage of another canceled season to fan loyalty would be just about irreversible.
As it is, Miller said, he understands the damage this lockout has done to the NHL brand and knows some quick work will be needed to regain fans' trust. The Sabres have had fewer than 50 season-ticket cancellations out of their 15,400, but this is a rabid hockey town. Not every NHL city is.
"I am happy the Buffalo fans were so patient. I'm not sure we get that in every market," Miller said. "The NHL is taking a big risk. Hope we don't injure the game beyond repair."
Players hurriedly made plans to leave teams in Europe and return to North America for training camp. The Sabres have had nine players overseas at various times, and six of them – Jason Pominville, Christian Ehrhoff, Alexander Sulzer, Tyler Myers, Andrej Sekera and Jhonas Enroth – are still there. Myers did not play in his team's game Sunday night in Austria in anticipation of his return home.
Ottawa Senators winger Milan Michalek was on a bus in the Czech Republic on the way to a road game when he got a call that the lockout was over. According to his agent, Allan Walsh, Michalek asked for the bus to pull over at a gas station, said his goodbyes, got his equipment off the bus and had a friend come get him to start the trip back to Canada.
Boston Bruins tough guy Milan Lucic, whose jarring hit gave Miller a concussion and basically ruined the Sabres' season last year, tweeted in part, "Sorry that it took so long. Let's put the lockout behind us and look forward to some hockey. Best Serbian Christmas present I can ask for. Time for another [Stanley] Cup."
And Edmonton Oilers winger Sam Gagner tweeted thanks to Beckenbaugh, saying, "Next time I'm in NYC, dinner is on me. Thanks for helping get us back on the ice."

All Things Pumpkin
I had to kick off the fall harvest season with two of my very favorite pumpkin recipes. Grandma Gertie's Pumpkin Pie will put a grin on your face while you're licking the plate clean. Many thanks to Sharman Hickman of Hickman's Family Farms for sharing her Grandma's treasure.
