No changes at the top of the National Football League's eight divisions on Sunday, but the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks all won games that kept them in the fight for divisional titles.
Pittsburgh hung a game behind first place Baltimore in the AFC North by snapping the New York Giants' four-game winning streak, 24-20, at MetLife Stadium.
Surprising Indianapolis remained two games behind Houston in the AFC South by ending Miami's win streak at three, 23-20. Green Bay defeated Arizona, 31-17, to stay 1½ games behind streaking Chicago in the NFC North while Seattle defeated Minnesota, 30-20, to climb to within 1½ games of idle San Francisco in the NFC West.
Atlanta extended its win streak to eight games while Chicago has won six in a row and Green Bay four. Indianapolis and Denver have won their last three. Carolina ended its five-game losing streak by winning at Washington. Jacksonville lost its fifth in a row.
Game of the day Steelers 24, Giants 20
The scoop: Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Wallace hooked up on a 51-yard TD pass in the first minute of the fourth quarter to get the Steelers close, and Isaac Redman scored on a 1-yard run with 4:02 left to put Pittsburgh in front to stay.
Why the Steelers won: No Eli Manning comebacks in this one. After forcing a punt on the Giants' possession after the Redman touchdown, they ran out the remaining 2:52.
On a roll
Falcons 19, Cowboys 13
The scoop: Matt Bryant kicked four field goals and Michael Turner scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 3-yard run early in the fourth quarter and unbeaten Atlanta held on for its eighth win in a row. Dan Baley gave the Cowboys a 6-0 first quarter lead with two field goals. Dallas got close on a 21-yard pass from Tony Romo to Kevin Ogletree with 5:21 left. Bryant's fourth field goal, from 32 yards, iced it with 17 seconds left.
Why the Falcons won: They held the Cowboys to 65 rushing yards.
Bears 51, Titans 20
The scoop: Chicago keeps coming up with defensive touchdowns and turnovers. The Bears scored on a blocked punt and a 46-yard interception return by Brian Urlacher in routing the Titans. Jay Cutler threw three touchdown passes to Brandon Marshall after the defense and special teams had sparked the Bears to a 21-2 lead. Charles Tillman of the Bears forced four fumbles as Chicago rolled up its highest point total since 1980.
Why the Bears won: Chicago led, 28-3, after one quarter even though it managed just 35 yards of offense. They had two return touchdowns and scoring drives of just 8 and 16 yards.
Packers 31, Cardinals 17
The scoop: Aaron Rodgers' fourth TD pass of the game, to Tom Crabtree on a 72-yard play as time ran out in the third quarter, broke the game open for Green Bay. Up to that point the Cardinals were hanging around with hopes of an upset. Instead, they suffered their fifth straight defeat.
Why the Packers won: Arizona had no running game, gaining just 54 yards on 18 attempts for a 3.0 average. Its longest gain was 11 yards.
Broncos 31, Bengals 23
The scoop: Peyton Manning threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to bring Denver from behind after Cincinnati had taken the lead, 20-17, early in the period. Manning had three TD throws in all, two to Eric Decker, who has seven TD catches on the season.
Why the Broncos won: They sacked Andy Dalton five times, three by Von Miller, and intercepted him twice.
Colts 23, Dolphins 20
The scoop: Andrew Luck easily won a duel of rookie quarterbacks with Ryan Tannehill of the Dolphins, throwing for 433 yards, most ever by an NFL rookie. Adam Vinatieri's 43-yard field goal with 5:58 left won it for Indy after the Dolphins had tied it on Dan Carpenter's 31-yarder with 13:12 to go. Two Colts, Donald Avery (108) and T.Y. Hilton (102), went over the 100-mark in receiving yards and Reggie Wayne had seven receptions for 78 yards. Tannehill completed 22 of 38 for 290 yards and one touchdown. Neither quarterback was intercepted.
Why the Colts won: They had only one three-and-out series the entire game, piling up 516 total yards.
Buccaneers 42, Raiders 32
The scoop: Rookie Doug Martin ran for 251 yards, a season's high in the NFL, and four touchdowns, including runs of 67 and 70 yards, as Tampa Bay held off Carson Palmer and the Raiders. The Bucs built a 28-10 lead in the third quarter on Martin's 67-yarder, then saw the Raiders close to 35-32 with 3:51 left. Martin increased his season's total to 794 yards on 154 carries, a 5.2 average with a league-leading seven rushing touchdowns. Josh Freeman threw for two touchdowns for Tampa Bay, one to Mike Williams (Riverside) for 4 yards.
Why the Bucs won: They had successive TD drives of 80, 60, 68 and 70 yards in the second half after trailing 10-7 at the Break.
On the skids
Lions 31, Jaguars 14
The scoop: Mikel Leshoure scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and the Lions never looked back in winning their second in a row. Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 129 yards but no touchdowns for the Lions. The Jaguars didn't score until the fourth quarter. By then they trailed, 24-0.
Why the Lions won: They scored TDs on three straight series in the second quarter.
Panthers 21, Redskins 13
The scoop: The supposed duel between Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III never developed as Carolina led almost all the way and snapped a five-game losing streak. Newton passed for one touchdown, ran for another, and D'Angelo Williams gave the Panthers the lead, 7-3, with a 30-yard run.
Why the Panthers won: Their improving defensive front sacked Griffin three times and never let him get untracked.
Seahawks 30, Vikings 20
The scoop: Seattle's Marshawn Lynch (881) failed to overtake Minnesota's Adrian Peterson (957) for the NFL rushing lead but he helped the Seahawks to their fourth straight home victory. Seattle took the lead for good, 20-17, with 44 seconds left in the first half on an 11-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Golden Tate. Lynch ran for 124 yards while Peterson had 182.
Why the Seahawks won: Christian Ponder of the Vikings completed only 11 of 22 for 63 yards and lost 19 yards on four sacks. He was intercepted once.
Dog of the day
Ravens 25, Browns 15
The scoop: No touchdowns for the Browns. Baltimore scored 11 points in the last 4:26 after Cleveland had taken a 15-14 lead on a 41-yard Phil Dawson field goal, his fifth of the game. Joe Flacco passed 19 yards to Torey Smith for the go-ahead score.
Why the Ravens won: They forced Cleveland to settle for field goals in five drives into Baltimore territory.

LISBON - The interim director of the Office on Aging in Salem approached Columbiana County commissioners this week with concerns about the effects federal budget cuts will have on the program next year if additional dollars are not found.
Fran Kenst-Hawkins said they have learned $31,081 is scheduled to be cut from the department's budget for 2013. Aside from $6,536 given to the department for an exercise program, the department's other financing is reportedly $24,000 from the county commissioners. Kenst-Hawkins said it will take between $20,000 and $24,000 per year additional to keep the office open past the end of 2012.
Julie Davis, a nurse with the program, who accompanied Kenst-Hawkins to the meeting pointed out there are about eight people who come to the office in Salem regularly for adult day care. Additionally, she said the organization provides services to hundreds of other seniors across the county.
Commissioner Mike Halleck said Joe Rossi, director of the Area Agency on Aging, recently told him the federal funding has been cut, and there will be a need for restructuring.
Davis pointed out the county's population continues to age and many rely on the services provided, including the eight utilizing the day care in many cases these people's only chance to socialize and get assistance with problems in a changing world.
"The seniors who attend our day care tell me everyday, 'You don't know how important this is for us,'" Davis said.
Kenst-Hawkins said the current trend is to keep more seniors in their homes, and money once sent to her department is being given to help hotline, which in turn refers seniors to her agency.
Halleck said the commissioners will continue to help them look for solutions.
"We are not going to solve this problem by scaring people," Halleck said. "In a changing world you sometimes have to take the dollars you have and make the most of them."
In other matters before the board:
-The board approved letting the Perry Township sanitary sewer project back out for bid. Last fall the project bids came in 10 percent over the estimate and were rejected. The project is in the process of being updated to go out for bid. It will extend sewer service for 26 residents on Brooklyn Avenue, Painter Road and Depot Road.
-The board voted for County Engineer Bert Dawson to bid for a Steel Wheel Vibratory Roller, a device to be used in the chip and seal program. Additionally, Dawson was given permission to submit applications for funding for next year's construction season.

Will we ever see the day where a young talent simply snaps and goes outright publicly HAM against the Wings development philosophy?
The stereotype is that hockey players are so down to earth and humble but you always got your handful of individuals who have a little bit of a screw loose.
One of these days I wonder if a young but established NHL player will ever just lose his mind and any sense of class and publicly rants to the media, "Yeah, I'm glad I didn't get drafted by Detroit. I played one year in juniors after I got drafted, two years in the AHL; for all my years scored in the top 20 in my respective leagues, worked on my overall game, went to training camp and earned a full-time roster spot. More or less, that's how it should be. I didn't have management that played favorites. I didn't have management that tried to reduce my salary negotiating power by trapping me in the minors so I couldn't earn a bigger and more fair contract for my abilities with NHL experience and a decent opportunity to prove myself. I didn't have to deal with that BS and I'm thankful to the X organization for not tossing out some bullcrap about being overripe. You ever tried eating an overripe fruit? It's disgusting."
Would that person be 100% right? Hell no. But I wouldn't be surprised if perhaps one of these days during perhaps a rivalry playoff series that a player on the opposing team tries to stir the pot that way.

The high-growth Andean economies of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru must ramp up infrastructure investment if they are to harness the full extent of their natural resource wealth
The Andean Community, a four-nation bloc formed by Bolivia,
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, will lead economic growth in South
America this year.
Rich in natural resources, the four countries will grow at
rates well above the international level thanks primarily to
raw material exports.
GDP in Peru expanded by an annualized 6% in the first
quarter of the year, while Bolivia expanded by 5.2%, Ecuador by
4.8% and Colombia by 4.7%. Inflation in the four countries
began falling in June, and governments are predicting that 2012
will see the lowest inflation rates in years.
Annual growth forecasts initially were higher, but finance
ministries have been lowering their forecasts due to the
continuing slump in European economies, the tepid recovery in
the US and concerns about an economic slowdown in China. Export
revenues are falling. The Peruvian government had forecast $50
billion in exports this...

All I Need
This past week has been wonderful, one of the best I have had in a long time. All six Stewarts have been on the same continent, in the same country, and in the same house. The kids have been playing together wonderfully, like they have always been together. It is amazing to have all that I need in this world together again. I do not need my house, my cars, or any of my other stuff. I have survived just fine on what will fit in two suitcases but what I do need is my family and that I now have.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped get Chad, Sadie, and Nolen ready for their great adventure.

The state is refusing to release a "fatality report" that could shed light on how child-protection workers handled the case of a 10-year-old Buffalo boy who was bludgeoned to death by his stepfather April 17, 2012, a year after the boy called 911 to report he was being abused.
"Please come fast," Abdifatah "Abdi" Mohamud, then 9, pleaded with the 911 operator, according to a transcript of the call from April 18, 2011. "It's a matter of life-and-death."
The police responded to that call, one of two calls the boy made to 911, and then referred the case to Erie County Child Protective Services.
But Abdifatah was not removed from the home, and no criminal charges were filed against his stepfather. Instead, the case was referred to an alternative program the state had initiated, aimed at avoiding the removal of children from their homes, according to sources familiar with the boy's case.
That program spared the stepfather, as well, from facing the possibility of more intensive scrutiny in Erie County Family Court.
Then, almost a year to the day after the boy's 911 calls, Abdifatah's mother returned home from her janitorial job to report that her son was missing.
Police officers soon found a grisly scene in the basement of the family's Guilford Street home: the battered body of the boy, bound and gagged.
He had been beaten with a rolling pin more than 70 times. Brain tissue was exposed, and an autopsy later revealed he had been hit so violently his skull was detached from his spine.
The stepfather, Ali-Mohamed Mohamud, then 40, who worked as a private agency security guard at The Buffalo News, admitted to detectives that he had beaten the boy, saying the boy had not done his homework. He was later convicted of second-degree murder and is serving a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
The News has been seeking to find out how Abdifatah's case fell through the cracks and whether child-protection workers could have done something to prevent the boy's death. Such information typically is contained in what is called a "child fatality report."
Those reports have been required by state law since 1996, enacted in the horrific child-abuse murder of a 6-year-old girl in New York City.
The county makes the reports following the death of a child where child abuse was suspected or if the child or the child's family had some sort of contact with the county's social workers. The county report is then submitted to the state Office of Children and Family Services, and that state office has the power to release or withhold the report.
The reports detail all involvement by the county with the child and his or her family. They do not disclose any names.
In denying The News' request for Abdifatah's report under the Freedom of Information Law, the state used the "best interests" exception. Under the law, the state can withhold information if it is deemed that the release could cause emotional or psychological harm to the dead child's surviving siblings.
When The News appealed the FOIL rejection last month, the state's child-protection attorney, Toni G. Koweek, immediately rejected it, citing Social Services state law privacy provisions that protect Abdifatah's half brothers, who are 6 and 7.
A section of the Social Services law does shield siblings in such cases, according to Robert J. Freeman, executive director of the state's Committee on Open Government. County officials said they were bound by the state's decision and could not release the report or any part of it, according to Deputy County Executive Richard M. Tobe.
"Upon receipt of your request, we again sought guidance from OCFS and were advised we are not able to release to you any detail of any fatality report or the specific best interests test for any fatality," said Peter Anderson, spokesman for County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz.
"The State Legislature recognized that elements of these reports, such as psychological or medical aspects or evaluations of a child or a child's family, should be withheld," Freeman said.
The state is not willing to redact parts of the report that are sensitive to the surviving siblings and release other parts that are not.
Confidentiality is universally regard as an integral part of child-protective services, but in the all-or-nothing decisions on whether to release fatality reports, public scrutiny of how the system responded in handling a particular case can end up denied.
It also raises the question of whether those charged with protecting abused children are shielding themselves. The reports are supposed to include changes in procedure if the system failed.
The News has learned that the 911 calls were not the only time Abdifatah was brought to the attention of Child Protective Services.
Several weeks after those calls, he showed up at school with his face bruised. The school's principal said the boy refused to say how he suffered the injuries.
Sources close to the case said county child-protection investigators reviewed that incident, as well. While the outcome of that investigation was not made public, whoever handled it determined that the boy should remain in his family's home.
The stepfather told The News in a jailhouse interview that county child-protection workers investigated the incident and cleared him of harming the boy. Mohamud said his stepson had been beaten up on a school bus.
The county child-abuse office referred Abdifatah's family to a local outside agency, through a pilot project started by state and known as Family Assessment Response, or FAR.
But an individual familiar with the county's handling of Abdifatah's case said that there was internal disagreement at the county office over whether the Mohamud family should be referred to the pilot program, given the allegations that the stepfather had been beating the boy.
Another concern was that the Family Assessment Response cases did not receive the same level of accountability as child-abuse cases handled directly by county employees and the courts. Critics say the Family Assessment Response program puts children at greater risk because their alleged abusers, often living under the same roof, are allowed to be present when Family Assessment Response team members interview the family.
"Contrary to accepted child welfare practices, differential response teams [FAR] conduct all interviews of the children in the presence of the custodians. Imagine the trauma children would suffer sitting around a kitchen table answering questions regarding excessive corporal punishment with the perpetrator there glaring at them," attorneys at the Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo stated in a 2011 letter to the Senate Social Services Committee, while raising concerns about proposed changes to state law that created the alternative response to child-abuse cases.
The letter also cited another alarming aspect regarding the types of child-abuse cases being diverted to the Family Assessment Response teams across the state, based on a study that state officials had conducted.
"They include burns, scalding, choking, twisting, shaking, internal injuries, lacerations, bruises, welts, swelling, dislocations, sprains, poisoning, noxious substances, fractures and excessive corporal punishment. Moreover, we have learned that even alleged sexual abuse has been referred to the differential response team in one county," the letter stated.
Was Abdifatah afraid to speak the truth when his case entered the pilot program in Erie County?
Though county officials declined to comment directly on their handling of Abdifatah's case, there are indications that they recognized there were problems with the pilot program.
In May, just weeks after the International Preparatory School fifth-grader was killed, they reassessed the pilot program and started referring fewer cases to that program.
"Erie County Department of Social Services concluded that in the absence of final New York State regulations governing FAR operations, we would reinstitute more restrictive acceptance criteria for reports assigned to FAR, targeting primarily education-neglect cases," said Anderson, spokesman for the county executive.
"It is our assessment that OCFS has an obligation to finalize the regulations after four years in pilot status. When regulations are final, we anticipate using the FAR program model with appropriate families. Our commitment is to do the right things for families, understanding the value of both the traditional investigatory model of CPS and the family engagement and empowerment model of FAR."
When asked whether any county employees were disciplined for the way the Abdifatah case was handled, Anderson said he could not comment on individual employees.

Not long ago, the hulking grain elevators dotting the Buffalo River appeared to many as unwelcome reminders of a faded industrial past.
Now, as several major Canalside projects are under way, they're a big part of the next grand undertaking for the waterfront.
The old grain elevator across from Canalside's Central Wharf will be the canvas for a permanent year-round static and kinetic light show that casts a kaleidoscope of colors and images of Buffalo.
The Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., the state agency that oversees the waterfront, has been putting together the project for some time.
Wednesday it is expected to approve spending $5 million for the first phase that, in addition to the light show on the grain elevator, also includes lighting the Michigan and Ohio street bridges that cross the Buffalo River, two areas of General Mills and the underside of the Skyway. An opening is anticipated for the summer or fall of next year.
And that's just the first phase of an ambitious project designed to attract national attention.
The second and much grander vision is to illuminate 14 grain elevators in all – 13 along the river, plus the Pool elevator in Lake Erie – as public art. The biggest attraction would be a spectacle with the potential to incorporate 3-D video projection, fire, smoke, sound, pyrotechnics and other special effects onto the old silo across from Canalside, aka the Connecting Terminal, at the edge of the outer harbor.
"This is the new Buffalo. We're doing things differently now," said Thomas Dee, executive director of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. "We're no longer the city that couldn't do this or do that.
"If all of the grain elevators are lit going up the river and book-ending the outer harbor, it would be like something you haven't seen anywhere."
The project represents the convergence of art, historic preservation, regional history and architecture under way on a grass-roots level in recent years, and which Visit Buffalo Niagara, the city's visitor and tourism bureau, has used to rebrand Buffalo and Western New York.
"It's a bold statement that says Buffalo has arrived and is staking its claim as a world-class cultural tourism destination," said Ed Healy, Visit Buffalo Niagara's vice president of marketing. "Were making an attempt to play in the big leagues here."
Janne Siren, Albright-Knox Art Gallery's director, agreed. "This will be a transformative project for the City of Buffalo and our entire region," Siren said. "It will change how we see ourselves and where we live, and it will change how visitors from near and far see us again. The 'City of Light' becomes again the 'City of Light.' "
Tourism magnet
The illumination project is expected to bring activity to the waterfront during off times of the year, driving hotel and restaurant business for a nighttime attraction that could also lure visitors from Niagara Falls.
Ambiances Design Productions, which has drawn international acclaim for its public art display on a grain elevator in Quebec City, the only other project of this scale, would oversee the design and implementation in partnership with Foit Albert Associates and Ram-Tech Engineers.
The Quebec City project – first conceived as a one-year attraction for the city's 400th anniversary in 2008 and now in its sixth year – has been credited by the Quebec City tourism office as a major driver of tourism and a catalyst for boosting the city's international reputation.
The "Image Mill" and "Aurora Borealis" productions drew an estimated 200,000 viewers in 2011, nearly 60 percent from out of town, with 80 percent staying overnight in hotels, according to a survey by the tourism office.
Local preservationist Tim Tielman saw the illuminated shows in 2008 and returned the next year with Howard Zemsky, the governor's point man in Buffalo, and Rick Smith, who owns the collection of grain elevators at Ohio and Ganson streets dubbed "Silo City."
"It was jaw-dropping. It told a story informed by history. There was a narrative and not just meaningless technical virtuosity," said Tielman, who leads the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture.
He's convinced it would be the tourism draw that has so far eluded the area. "People have talked for years about getting some of the people who go to Niagara Falls. Well, this is the type of thing, because of the spectacle of it, and because the Buffalo grain elevators are so otherworldly, that will get people down here," Tielman said.
Customized for Buffalo
The Buffalo presentation would be different from the one in Quebec City, said Martin Gagnon, creative director of Ambiances Design Productions.
"The story would be customized to Buffalo's experience. I want it to be one where people can find something for themselves, and for all ages, and dream and be surprised," Gagnon said. "We don't want to just illuminate without a purpose. You won't see color changes every few seconds. There will be a story that the illumination is based on."
Gagnon praised Buffalo for not overlooking the grain elevators' potential. "Sometimes these structures become white elephants, so it's great that someone decided to give them a second chance in the visual environment of the city."
Buffalo, where Joseph Dart invented the grain elevator in 1842, had the nation's largest storage capacity for grain by the first half of the 20th century, when the city was known as the "City of Grain Elevators."
The colossal structures also had an impact as industrial art on European thought about modernism and architecture. The late Reyner Banham, the noted architectural theorist at the University at Buffalo, famously compared their faded grandeur to the Egyptian pyramids – although many have also seen them as eyesores. But today, only three remain in operation, and demolition and fire have seen several go by the wayside in recent years.
'A lost landscape'
Lynda Schneekloth, who edited "Reconsidering Concrete Atlantis: Buffalo Grain Elevators," once doubted she'd see their revival.
"When I started working on the Buffalo River in the late-1980s with the-then 'Friends of the Buffalo River,' it was a lost landscape. The winding and filthy river was dead, the factories and artifacts abandoned," Schneekloth said.
Now, she noted, there are sustained efforts to clean up the river, new parks have gone in and a new rowing club is operating. Silo City has also become an occasional destination, and there is now a plan to light the grain elevators and bring the once-forgotten relics headlong into Buffalo's future.
The City of Buffalo, which owns the Ohio and Michigan street bridges and the Concrete Central and Cargill Superior elevators, is on board with the project. So is the state Department of Transportation, which operates the Skyway. The New York Power Authority, which owns the Connecting Terminal and recently spent $2 million for stabilization and remediation, is also supportive.
Most of the private owners have also signed on. General Mills is expected to participate, although Archer Daniels Midland, which owns the Great Northern and Standard elevators, has yet to show interest, a source said.
Cost may top $20 million
The costs, planners say, are not nearly definitive enough, and will be refined as the process unfolds, but preliminary estimates for all four phases of the project are upward of $20 million. Annual operational costs would range between $700,000 and $1 million, which planners say could be covered by maintenance fees paid by eventual Canalside tenants and through sponsorships.
There will also be hefty utility costs associated with a project of this magnitude, which could also attract sponsors.
The illumination project could also unleash the potential of Silo City, a collection of three elevators owned by Smith of RiverWright, which has been opened to the public over the past year for arts extravaganzas.
The master plan envisions a boardwalk, lighting and outdoor theaters where visitors can watch projections off the Standard and Marine "A" elevators.
Smith said the waterfront agency would have to help financially to meet those objectives, but he's excited by the scale of the project and what it could mean for Silo City and the "cool young people" he said are drawn to it. "[The plan] celebrates where we come from, and it could be a harbinger of where we can go as long as we use some creativity," Smith said.

hi .. I am interested in knowing whether VSTS2010 web tests support. Validation testing . for example I have an employeesave page that has Firstname and Lastname as mandatory fields. if user clicks on save button and fields firstname and lastname are not entered then it gives message saying please enter firstname and lastname .. Does VSTS 2010 supports this testing ?

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Multidrug-resistant bacteria pose a significant threat to global health. In 2004, the World Health Organization provided a list of the top 10 diseases for which there will be inadequate therapies in the near future. Infection by resistant bacteria topped the list, ahead of cancer and diabetes. In the U.S., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus alone annually infects more than 94,000 people and kills nearly 19,000—more deaths than from homicides, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson disease, or emphysema.
Additionally, resistant bacteria create an immense economic burden. One study suggested that such infections cost a staggering $21–34 billion in the U.S. alone. Although the need is rapidly increasing, there are growing concerns that the pipeline is withering away. A panel discussion at the "BIO International Convention" tackled these challenging questions, reviewed the current crisis, and discussed new solutions to create novel strategies for next-generation antibiotic agents.
"A perfect storm is closing in on antibiotic resistance," suggested Michael Kurilla, M.D., Ph.D., director of the office of biodefense research affairs of the NIAID. "Although few companies are pursuing it, there is a large and growing unmet need for new antibiotics in the pipeline for drug discovery. There are many challenges that the industry faces, including regulatory uncertainties and market pressures. Another vexing issue is the ability of microorganisms to become resistant even to newly developed drugs."
There are many types of emerging resistant bacterial strains. Some of the most common ones are gram-negative organisms such as Acinobacter, Pseudomonas, and others with extended spectrum beta-lactamases. Oral agents are needed for gram-positive strains as well. "Deciding which clinical indications to focus on is largely a matter of technical feasibility and market attractiveness."
"While over ten years ago, there were numerous companies pursuing antibiotic drug discovery, today that number has shrunk to a handful. Help needs to come from several fronts. The FDA can assist by providing improved guidelines to help prioritize interests. Second, science must focus on and make strides especially in understanding serious gram-negative infections. Additionally, the market itself must become reasonable for development. Perhaps biotechnology can step up to provide new solutions and new approaches."
Joyce A. Sutcliffe, Ph.D., senior vp biology at Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, described the company's approach for generating a new class of highly potent and safe antibiotics via a novel synthesis strategy.
"Making only slight synthetic changes in current drug scaffolds can result in big differences in terms of pharmacological properties. Our company is focusing on tetracyclines, which are historically, among the most successful classes of broad-spectrum antibiotics. They are also one of the most difficult to work with—only one new compound in this class has been approved in more than 30 years, largely because of chemical-modification constraints."
"Our process was developed by Andrew Myers, Ph.D., chair of the department of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard University. After 10 years of research, he developed a novel and completely synthetic approach to generate new tetracycline drugs and derivatives. In the past, chemically modified tetracycline analogs have been produced using solely semisynthetic or chemical transformation of isolated natural products. This severely limited the range of new drug candidates.
"Our core technology can modify tetracycline at any position. Our approach has provided us with a platform from which multiple complementary products have been generated, allowing us to identify potent compounds with the best spectrum and pharmacokinetic properties to meet medical needs."
Tetraphase currently has one candidate, TP-434, that has completed Phase I trials; it is anticipated that it will enter Phase II studies later this year. Tetraphase has two additional IV/oral candidates for gram-negative infections or community-acquired bacterial pneumonia that are scheduled to enter Phase I trials in 2011.
"Our lead candidate TP-434 is effective against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic pathogens, except Pseudomonas," Dr. Sutcliffe reported. "Because of its broad spectrum, it is expected to be utilized for complicated intra-abdominal infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia, complicated urinary tract infections, and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections."

The 2011 conference
EMU was honored to host an unprecedented conference on attachment theory in spring 2011. Internationally recognized speakers cited the results of several decades of research to support their assertions that caring relations are as necessary to human life as air, food and water. The conference explored the concept that one of our most important tasks as humans is to learn how to form healthy attachments — with each other, with the earth, and with God.
The three days of life-changing conversation helped participants look anew at self, relationships and attachments to the larger world.
Conference materials and book
Learn more about attachment and the science of love via podcasts, blogs and downloads of power point presentations from the attachment conference.
Purchase Integrating the New Science of Love and a Spirituality of Peace, the new book based on presentations by the five keynote speakers at the conference. Co-editors Annmarie L. Early and Christian E. Early, both EMU professors, were key organizers of the 2011 conference.
The book underscores that "the brain expects, and is fundamentally shaped by, relationships," writes Howard Zehr of EMU's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding in the foreword. "We are not expected to grow and develop alone, and we are not designed to solve problems by ourselves."
The book is published by Cascade Books and can be ordered for $16.40 in print ($9.99 on Kindle) through amazon.com or other online booksellers.

President Barack Obama has issued a 60-day review of federal cyber security just days after numerous high-profile hacker intrusions, including an attack on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
During the review, the government expects to look at the "plans, programs and activities" of U.S. cyber security efforts against both domestic and foreign attacks.
"The national security and economic health of the United States depend on the security, stability, and integrity of our nation's cyberspace, both in the public and private sectors," President Obama's assistant for counterterrorism and homeland security John Brennan said in a statement.
Several security experts accused former President Bush's cybersecurity team of neglecting possible cyber attacks, while also stating the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was ill-equipped to deal with cybersecurity.
The U.S. government has Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin working on numerous cyber security projects, although most of the projects are classified. Industry analysts predict cyber security to one of the fastest-growing markets in the coming years, with the government issuing more than $10 billion in contracts over the next four years.
Security experts are still worried about the unprecedented level of vulnerability facing U.S. assets, as hackers have the potential to destroy banking records, stop electric power distribution, plus a number of other activities that could have a negative effect on the U.S.
In addition, China has drastically increased its cyber espionage, and continues to steal "vast amounts" of classified information from U.S. computer networks while the government continues to do little to stop it.
Obama will also focus on the physical protection of data -- it was recently published a New Zealand man purchased an MP3 player that contained troop deployments in Afghanistan, equipment deployments, private information on soldiers, and other personal information.
quote: some jobs, such as public school teachers, have retirement plans which substitute for SS and actually work
quote: then they'll either be stuck working until they die or are physically unable to work. I'm fine with this as long as they know what they're getting themselves into. But, it is not socially responsible to let people do this to themselves.
quote: It would be like turning your back on an alcoholic, you aren't helping them you're just ignoring the problem.
quote: This creates a huge social burden and we would then have to fund senior citizen welfare projects and the like.
quote: Companies have shown time and time again they are only interested in their own bottom line. The years of service you provide a corporation are meaningless to them, they would just as soon fire you three days before you are eligible to collect retirement to avoid paying you an annuity. Depending on companies is like relying on the devil, you're f'd either way.
quote: I say we get back to writing on paper.
quote: All of the real important data is completely isolated. You don't hear about them getting hacked or devices with their data on them being lost.
quote: Just regular government idiocy

Morgan, 45, was hospitalized early Saturday after his limo bus, returning from a show in Delaware, was involved in a six-vehicle crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.
"While Tracy remains in critical condition, he has been more responsive today, which is an incredibly encouraging sign," his rep said in a statement.
"He sustained a number of injuries including a broken leg, a broken femur, a broken nose and several broken ribs. He had surgery earlier today on his leg. We expect him to remain in the hospital for several weeks. His family is tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans."
The former 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live actor is being treated in the intensive care unit at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Comedian and friend James "Jimmy Mack" McNair died in the wreck, and two other passengers were injured.
A Walmart truck driver has been charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto after turning himself in to state police.
An eyewitness told PEOPLE she saw the truck swerve and hit the other cars, causing Morgan's vehicle to spin out of control and flip over.
"It was a horrific sight and we just hope that everyone is okay," she said.

It seems to me that the Detroit Red Wings are not focused. We either get shut-out,don't put up a good effort, or take the lead and then when the 3rd starts Detroit says "nah don't feeling like winning, you guys take it." So I have a very serious question. What NEEDS to change in order to stay playoff material? To end the bad 3rd periods? To actully be a threat?
P.S. Pretend you're the new coach of the Detroit Red Wings.

Harvey, who played at Eastern Illinois in 2012-13 as a freshman, will sit out the upcoming season due to NCAA Division I transfer rules. While with the Panthers, the 6-3 guard played in 31 games off the bench, scoring 59 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, and dishing out 15 assists.
"Cam will certainly add to our program," Williams said. "He's a wing that has size, has ability, so we're very fortunate to get him on our team. I think he's going to add a lot to our group of guards, and he's going to make us stronger as a basketball team."
A native of Naperville, Illinois, Harvey attended St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois for three years before transferring to Wheaton Academy in Chicago for his senior season. He helped both teams to winning records during all four years of his career.
Harvey averaged 15 points, four rebounds, and two assists per game in his final season at St. Joseph. As a senior, he was named Illinois Basketball Coaches Association fourth team All-State after averaging 16.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game at Wheaton Academy.
He joins a large group of newcomers on the Stetson squad this season. The Hatters will look to build on last year's campaign, which ended with the program's first trip to the Atlantic Sun Conference Semifinals since 2005-06.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress.
Sanford timeline
Click here for highlights of Mark Sanford's rise and fall, and rise back into South Carolina politics.
Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district's 455,702 registered voters casting ballots.
Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It's a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine mistress made him the source of national ridicule in 2009.
Democrats jumped at the chance to pick up a traditionally safe GOP seat, putting up more than $1 million to back Colbert Busch, a businesswoman and sister of comedian Stephen Colbert.
In the end, the Republican with the plywood signs and plain-talking style carried the day with voters, who were willing to overlook Sanford's baggage as well as fresh allegations of trespassing from his ex-wife, Jenny.
Sanford supporters gathered at the Liberty Tap Room in Mount Pleasant, and Sanford needed to stand on a kitchen pan so he could be seen in the crowded room.
He thanked his staff, supporters and Colbert Busch for a spirited race. He said the race came down to a difference of ideas over how to fix the nation's financial woes.
"I have a question for you all," he said as the crowd roared. "How many of you want to change Washington, D.C.?"
Sanford brought up the ethical lapses that foes hammered him on during the campaign, acknowledging his past even as fiancee Maria Belen Chapur, the Argentine woman he had gone to see as governor, stood a few feet behind him.
"I had deficiencies that were well-chronicled as a candidate," he said, but then went on to talk about grace and the "angels" who had helped him along the way.
Sanford said he learned a lot about grace over the course of the campaign, and that "I get it in a way I never have before."
"I'm going to try to be the best congressman that I can be," he said.
Colbert Busch took the stage at the Charleston Renaissance Hotel to concede, as about two dozen family members stood by her.
"We put up a heck of a fight, didn't we?" she said. "The people have spoken, and I respect their decision."
When the crowd murmured, she said, "No, I respect their decision. This is the beauty of our country. I can assure you I will continue to fight for all of you."
Some of her supporters echoed a remark that outgoing S.C. Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian made Friday, saying if Colbert Busch doesn't win, then the district is unwinnable for Democrats.
Sanford will serve out the final year and a half of the term vacated by Tim Scott, who was appointed to the U.S. Senate.
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden released a statement congratulating Sanford, saying the "results demonstrate just how devastating the policies of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are for House Democrats in 2014.
"Democrats spent more than $1 million trying to elect a candidate who was backed by the Democrat machine, but at the end of the day, running on the Obama-Pelosi ticket was just too toxic for Elizabeth Colbert Busch," he said.
The NRCC pulled its support from Sanford's campaign last month following the trespassing allegations, a move that cost him symbolically and financially.
Tea Party Express, the nation's largest tea party political action committee, endorsed Sanford Saturday and congratulated him on his victory.
"Today, a grassroots, issue-based campaign upset the national Democratic campaign machine," Tea Party Express Chairwoman Amy Kremer said. "Voters saw past the personal attacks and elected a tea party candidate who is willing to stand up for fiscal responsibility and limited government."
The candidates ran very different races. Sanford talked up national issues and wanted more debates against Colbert Busch. She agreed to only one debate, and her more limited time in the public eye seemed designed in part to keep the focus on him.
Still, many Republicans said they were willing to forgive. "I think he's paid for his mistakes," said James Island voter Christine Baldree, 26.
Rhonda Capps, a 44-year-old Mount Pleasant resident, voted for Sanford at Seacoast Church. Capps said she had been put off by Colbert Busch's expensive, negative campaign, which she described as "tacky."
The hotly contested race kept Lowcountry TV sets humming, as both candidates bought several ads for regular rotation.
Colbert Busch raised more than $1.1 million and was helped with more than $600,000 in separate ad buys, mostly attacking Sanford, from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Majority PAC and VoteVets.
Sanford raised more than $750,000 and also out-advertised Colbert Busch on her brother's popular Comedy Central show.
Sanford found eager donors, despite his personal problems, such as an April 16 revelation that his ex-wife had filed a trespassing complaint against him in Family Court. Sanford claimed he was only trying to watch the Super Bowl with his son.
He faces a court appearance Thursday in Charleston County Family Court to answer the allegation. A day later, election officials are expected to make his win official.

is Breyer a problem 2A wise?
I heard him talk at the University of Miami about 2 years ago. He seemed pretty reasonable at the time, granted - he didn't talk about 2A issues.
February 28, 2008, 12:14 PM
Breyer, Like Souter was originally billed as a conservative but like Souter.... he's NOT. He's a globalist (believer in the NWO) and he was one of the folks who favored making foreign LAWS a part of the USSC decision making process. So tell me, how does the UN feel about our gun rights? Rhetorical question we all know the answer here. Not all of the court feels like this or we'd have lost our guns a lot sooner. But by the time the last of the old crop of judges (pre "W" regime) retires or dies we'd BETTER have strict constructionist jurists installed or we're toast and so are our guns. Breyer and Souter, unfortunately, are pretty young so we may have to worry about their decisions for awhile. Kennedy is the swing vote and he swings leaning left most of the time.
February 29, 2008, 08:52 PM
Breyer and Souter both voted to gut the Constitution in the Kello case which speaks volumes about how well they "uphold" the Constitution. I expect that both will rule that the 2nd A is not an individual right. Hopefully their position will be with on the losing side in this case.

Just got laid off for the season, thinking of diving back into WoW for the winter. What can I faceroll with for the next 4 months?
warrior, feral, mage, any healer but disc/monk
Warrior, Mage, Resto shammy are all strong right now, but play whatever you want to really. Everything is pretty up in the air and with 5.2 probably coming to the PTR in the next month or so, going to see a lot of class changes.
Feral then warrior or hunter
Nerfbat is probably coming soon though
Depends what you're doing for PvP.
-RBGS? Frost DK. Everyone seems to ALWAYS be looking for a FDK target caller. 24/7.
-Arena? Any healer, mage, warrior, spriest is great atm as well.
-Random BGs? Anything really. Personally I think warrior would be a good choice because of the many defensives available if you don't have a healer readily available.
Feral isn't really that FOTM, you rarely see them in arena and they're pretty well not wanted in RBGs. The damage is great and so is the class, it's just not widely wanted for much yet.

same as always, healers and warrior.
Feral4Life since 2005

cooling: Scythe Mugen gpu: Gigabyte GTX-670 OC WF3X

ram: G.Skill GBRL 1600 display: CrossOver 27Q and EIZO FS2331
And yeah, feral in RBG's is about the best flag carrier+holder. Warr used to be preferred for holding but seems to be feral all the way now.

That would be arms warriors, frost mages, feral druid and resto shamans.
Currently allot of the classes that are based upon burst are going well and could be considered "fotm".
Hunter, Warrior, Mage, Lock, Spriest all seem to be at the top of the list as far as "fotm/op" classes are atm.
Best of luck finding another job.
Warrior, mage, hpally. Not any healer like someone earlier said, but atm monk and disc heals are weak. Monk is going to be the most fun class though imo.
For those of you who are afraid of clicking links;
Class / Spec % (2200+)
Arms Warrior 13.7%
Frost Mage 10.3%
Restoration Shaman 10.2%
Holy Paladin 9.6%
Shadow Priest 7%

HOLLIDAYSBURG - A Hollidaysburg landmark soon will take on a new look.
"It will be a family style restaurant and eatery, not a hangout. We will have a family restaurant where you can have a cocktail or a soda," said Lance Laratonda, who recently purchased The Old Canal Inn restaurant from Jeanne Heinbaugh and Sara Zolna for $385,000.
A $160,000 loan from the Southern Alleghenies Planning and Development Commission aided Laratonda with the purchase.
He said he will take over operations as soon as the liquor license transfer is approved by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.
The Old Canal Inn remains in business during the transition.
Laratonda, who has been in the restaurant business for 43 years - in 1992 he and his brother, Brian, bought the Capitol Hotel from their parents on an article of agreement - is excited about taking over the Old Canal Inn, opened by Bill and Josephine Nidetch (Heinbaugh and Zolna's parents) in 1957.
"Personally, I am humbled to have the opportunity to buy the Old Canal Inn," Laratonda said. "I am lucky I will be the one to put it back on the map again."
The Old Canal Inn, which had been managed by Heinbaugh's son, Alex, since 2009, had only been serving food three days a week for the last year or so. Laratonda said full-time food service will return.
"It will be open seven days a week, with two specials every day, with some of the exact same specials as they used to have, and I will have a few surprises of my own too," Laratonda said.
Main Street Manager Jamie Baser is pleased with Laratonda's plans.
"I think that is a great idea. I believe a family style restaurant will do well there. The Laratondas have been great business owners. They are model type business owners, and I am happy to see them take on a new project," Baser said.
The Old Canal Inn was best known for its haddock fish fry on Friday, and it also had ham pot pie on Tuesdays.
"We will serve homestyle food, things like fresh turkey, roast beef and stuffed chicken breasts," Laratonda said.
Business hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
Laratonda said he has two cooks lined up and is the process of hiring a staff of about 20, full- and part-time employees.
As part of the transaction to purchase the Old Canal Inn, Brian Laratonda will purchase Lance Laratonda's interest in the Capitol Hotel for $175,000.

|Cake Decorating
Closed Captioned
The Lambeth Method brings unmatched intricacy and depth to cake designs through layers of elegant over-piping. Reach new heights in your piping repertoire by adding these traditional techniques that are now back on trend. Join master decorator Wendy Kromer and learn everything you need to create your own Lambeth-style cake designs. Using three modern projects, Wendy will teach you to pipe 12 Lambeth border constructions: pearl, serrated, crescent, lattice and so much more. You'll even get Wendy's professional advice for designing, pricing and transporting your own Lambeth-style cakes. Don't miss your chance to add this rare and remarkable technique to your skill set.
Meet your instructor, Wendy Kromer, and learn her recipe for royal icing before piping a few simple embellishments.
Review the keystones of the Lambeth technique: pearls, bulbs, drop string, shells, scrolls and more to prepare for your over-piping adventure.
Pipe a double-bead border at the base before creating a serrated border at the top. Layer on shells, fleurs-de-lis, drop strings and ruffles.
Learn how to build and bevel the edge of a cake board to add timeless elegance to your cakes.
Pipe onto an extra-tall tier as you learn to add crescent and double-petal borders, delicate lattice work and layers of luscious over-piping.
Wendy shares her techniques for creating over-piped inverted shells with a scroll border on an elevated, beveled cake board.
Create a beautiful three-shell topper and learn how to combine stars, scrolls and leaves to create a stunning border as well as a tightly wrapped S-scroll side design.
Finish your two-tier masterpiece as Wendy demonstrates bulb and alternating S-scroll borders as well as a vertical shell with a trellis swag.
From first sketch to final delivery, Wendy offers tips for inspiration, transporting, timing and pricing.
"I know there are many people in the cake world who might dismiss this as old-school cake decorating that has no place in today's world. Fashion is so cyclical though � it's only a matter of time before what is now old-school is trendy once again. Wendy is a natural teacher, I think. She is easy to follow, explains everything well and in detail and the class is well-filmed. At no time did I feel like I couldn't properly see what she was doing. I will definitely be practicing what I've learnt here and I plan to 'sneak' some Lambeth elements into my work in the near future."

Louis Gallo enjoys the look, feel and smell of history.
An American Studies graduate student at Youngstown State University, Gallo, 26, formerly of Chester, began discovering the wonders of historical letters while taking a course in historical editing in the spring of 2012.
The class introduced him to the prominent Sutliff family of Warren, Ohio, and the Sutliff Family Museum, which houses the family's letters, papers and artifacts from the antebellum period. Gallo is now working as a graduate assistant at the museum on a project to digitize and transcribe all the family's papers, many of which have to do with the family's involvement in the anti-slavery movement prior to the Civil War.
"The majority of them have never been recorded or used by scholars. ... It's pretty much a treasure trove of letters that have never been looked at," said Gallo, who earned his bachelor's degree in history from West Liberty University. "You don't get that many chances to record 170-year-old letters for the first time."
Now, Gallo's work on the Sutliff family papers has earned him recognition by the Association for Documentary Editing (ADE), an organization for scholars who edit the papers of famous Americans. The association singled out Gallo's poster presentation for praise at its 2013 annual meeting in Ann Arbor, Mich., in July.
Gallo was the only graduate student to present at the poster session, and his poster is featured on the ADE's website: www.DocumentaryEditing.org.
The poster, titled "The Personal Side of Editing: The Sutliff Family Papers," outlines Gallo's graduate research project and details the historical significance of the Sutliff papers - especially the correspondence between Flavel Sutliff and Ohio Congressman Joshua Giddings.
Sutliff and Giddings were friends, law partners and prominent abolitionists, Gallo said. Their correspondence touched on family matters, politics, court cases, Giddings' anti-slavery tactics in the House of Representatives, even Sutliff's poor penmanship, he said.
Gallo stumbled on the men's correspondence while working on the museum's digitizing project and decided to turn it into his master's project. He expects to graduate with a master's in American Studies in December.
"This was my opportunity to analyze Giddings' early political motives and understand how he approached opposing slavery in the chambers of the House of Representatives," Gallo said in an interview with the ADE.
For his project, Gallo plans to digitize four to six of Giddings' letters from his first year in Congress (1838-1839) and post them to an interactive Web page. Digitizing involves scanning papers, creating PDF documents and putting them in a control file, he said.
"It protects the integrity of the original letters, and, at the same time, you can still research and study them," he said. "(The Internet) is a good medium for making scholarly research available to a larger audience."
A native of East Liverpool, Gallo grew up in Chester and Newell and still has family living in Hancock County. He graduated from Oak Glen High School in 2005.
Even with a history degree, Gallo said it wasn't until he started handling the real stuff of history - letters, land deeds, legal documents, receipts - that history became a passion for him.
"The process of digitizing the letters creates a personal connection with the author," Gallo told the ADE, "because not only do I get to read the author's most precious thoughts, but I get to see, feel and smell the medium in which it was written."
It will be up to future researchers to transcribe and annotate the letters, Gallo said.

The Texas-based radio and television personality, whose program is syndicated by YEA Networks, died at his Kidd's Kids charity function in the New Orleans suburb of Gretna on Saturday, said publicist Ladd Biro in releasing a network statement.
"He died doing what he loved," said Biro, of the public relations firm Champion Management, speaking with AP by phone early Sunday. He said he had no further details on the death.
The Kidd Kraddick in the Morning show is heard on more than 75 Top 40 and Hot AC radio stations and is a leader among most-listened-to contemporary morning programs, Biro said. The radio program also is transmitted globally on American Forces Radio Network while the show's cast is also seen weeknights on the nationally syndicated TV show Dish Nation, he added.
"All of us with YEA Networks and the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and leader," the network statement said. "Kidd devoted his life to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children."
"He died doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him," it added.
The Dallas Morning News reported Kraddick had been a staple in the Dallas market since 1984, starting in a late-night debut. The newspaper said he moved into morning show work by the early 1990s in that market and his show began to gain wider acclaim and entered into syndication by 2001 as he gained a following in cities nationwide.
Kraddick would have turned 54 on Aug. 22, according to Biro.
The network statement said the cause of death would be released "at the appropriate time."
Many fans, celebrities included, tweeted condolences and talked about the death on social media sites. One Texas radio station where he was a mainstay ran photographs on its website of Kraddick at the microphone.
Word of Kraddick's passing spread quickly via social media:
Oh man, I just heard Kidd Kraddick died! He's my childhood dj. What a sad day. His poor family. He was always nice 2 me from the beginning.— Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) July 28, 2013

The American College of the Building Arts' annual Red Party is one you don't want to miss.
Taking place Friday night at Old City Jail, the college's main campus, the event promises a great time that also raises money for the school.
The theme this year? The Great Gatsby, of course. So get your tassels, sequins, boas and bow ties ready!
The Roaring '20s theme will feature live swing and jazz music, vintage cars, silent and live auctions, specialty food and drinks, a croquet lawn party lounge and a private VIP speakeasy.
Guests will get complimentary champagne from Wine Awesomeness and libations created by some of Charleston's top bartenders competing in a signature cocktail contest using Epic vodka, Pama Pomegranate Liqueur or Larceny bourbon, says Jonah Jetter, a publicist with the Beckett Agency.
Salthouse Catering, HoM Burger Boutique, Butcher & Bee, Fuel Charleston, Healthy Home Foods, Basico, Bowens Island Restaurant and L.I.M.E will provide food for guests.
Of course, the auctions are a huge part of the event and they will be using a new text-bidding method so guests can still mingle while being alerted if they need to up their bids.
Some of this year's top items include a football signed by Pittsburgh Steelers Maurkice Pouncey, Jarvis Jones, Sean Spence and Vince Williams; one week at a home in the French hamlet of Poumeroux; a Charleston harbor cruise for up to 20 on the tall ship Pride; and a limited edition Le Creuset Mariner Star oven designed by the students of the American College of the Building Arts.
To preview these and other auction items, go to www.bidpal.net/redparty.
The party will start at 7 p.m. for general admission and at 6:30 p.m. for VIPs. Tickets for general admission are $70 in advance, $90 at the door, and include two complimentary drink tickets. VIP tickets are $150 and include early entry, a private garden lounge, a speakeasy bar area, specialty hors d'oeuvres and four drink tickets. There also will be a cash bar.

'Invisible Labors'
This collection of mixed-media work by artist Camela Guevara is some of the best I've seen in a long time here in Charleston. It's fresh, it's new, it's abstract, and it's interesting.
Titled "Invisible Labors," this body of work will be up for one night only, 6-8:30 p.m. Friday at Christophe Artisan Chocolatier.
" 'Invisible Labors' is a continued exploration of traditional methods of adornment and the distillation of embellishment to the simplest forms," says the artist.
She also states that one of the reasons she creates is to keep her hands busy but also create stillness in her mind through the process.
She has a unique fascination with tedious work and the things that come of that.
These works are created by stretching the surface, adding dye (which she says forces her to "accept randomness and surrender control as it expands and grows"), and then she embellished the piece with beads.
Guevara does so many interesting things, it would certainly be appropriate to call her a "Renaissance woman." She is a Redux studio artist, a seamstress at the Charleston Garment Manufactory, a founding member of the One Love Design House and a founding member of Charleston Supported Art, a new organization that seeks to directly connect artists to patrons through the agricultural CSA model.
She is also one half of the fashion and music blog, Gemsounds.com, and probably 15 other things we don't know about yet.
Christophe Artisan Chocolatier is at 90 Society St.
To get in touch with the artist, call 819-9030 or go to www.camelaguevara.com.
'Beauty and the Beast'
Everyone loves a classic Disney love story.
This fall, bring your loved ones to share in the enjoyment of the Charleston County School of the Arts vocal department's production of "Beauty and the Beast."
"It's a 'tale as old as time' in this classic fairytale ... in a French provincial town, the lovely Belle (played by Abigail Floyd) rebuffing the advances of egotistical Gaston (Ethan Courville) finds herself prisoner in an enchanted castle and learns to love the cold-hearted Beast (Jess Rames)," says the school's marketing director, Rebekah King.
It's always impressive to see what these students can do. More than 200 middle and high school students will put together this production with colorful costumes, an amazing set and songs that everyone knows and loves.
"Following the tremendous success of last year's 'Les Miserables,' a completely sung-through operetta, is daunting but I believe this show will do it," says director Heather Hammond.
"Beauty and the Beast" will be performed Thursday through Nov. 2. A special Kids' Tea Party for ages 8 and under with the cast of characters will follow all matinee performances.
Adult tickets are $15; students, children, seniors and groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets for $10; Tea Party tickets are $5.
Call 529-4990 or go to www.SOAvocal.com for more information.

A Look Inside Football with Coach Kevin Kelly
Ball State's Joel Godett took a look inside the Cardinals' Spring Practice with new defensive coordinator Kevin Kelly.
Kelly is in his first season with the Cardinals after serving as the head coach at Georgetown for the last eight seasons.
In his 31st year as a football coach, Kelly was named the 2011 Patriot League Coach of the Year and was an Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year finalist after helping Georgetown to an 8-3 record. In his tenure at Georgetown, he had five players receive All-Patriot League honors, while six of his student-athletes earned league honors in 2012.
Ball State completes its Spring Practice schedule with its annual scrimmage Saturday at 2 p.m. at Scheumann Stadium. The scrimmage is free admission and 500 hot dogs will be given out free prior to the game, courtesy of Fisher Meats.

LOOKING AHEAD: Kahne doesn't believe the new Gen-6 car will have much of an impact on the racing at Bristol this weekend. "That track is so unique and so different and knowing how we race there, you'll probably still have that similar race that we've had in the past. That's just one unique place where you have 43 cars on that small (half-mile) of a race track with so much banking."
LOOKING BACK: Kahne dominated the Las Vegas race as he led six times for a race-high 114 laps, but a long pit stop on his final stop of the day dropped him to sixth for the last restart and he was not able to get around Matt Kenseth in a stirring 30-lap duel. "I caught him," said Kahne. "I just couldn't pass him. We definitely had the best car today. When I got to him at the end, my tires got a little greasy. I think it was the two runs on the left-side tires that made it a little more difficult to pass that final run. We still had a great day (finishing second). My engine was unbelievable, the car was perfect and the guys did an awesome job. We just didn't get the win."
ETC.: Crew chief Kenny Francis smiles as he admits, "Kasey and I do kind of communicate by osmosis sometimes it seems like. We've been together for a long time. He's the only driver I've had for a while now. Between Kasey, myself and my engineer, Keith Rodden, we've all been together for a number of years. We can even look at each other and tell what we're thinking or what's going on."
22 JOEY LOGANO, Ford
Team: Penske Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 12 points out of the top 10. Gained six spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: Finished eighth in the August race for his first top-10 finish in eight starts. He led 139 laps in the night event.
LOOKING AHEAD: Logano said, "There has always been a special feeling about Bristol. It's just so unique from everywhere else we go. You just don't see a lot of places that look like it, from the size (half-mile) to the high banks to the grandstands surrounding the place. It's just different there, both as a fan and as a driver."
LOOKING BACK: Logano was penalized for speeding as he left pit road after his first pit stop and he spent the rest of the race trying to overcome this penalty. "I felt like we had a top-five car, but just made a mistake," said Logano, who ended the day in 12th place. "I screwed up and sped down pit road on the first stop. I never really had an opportunity to recover good enough to show what we had. The guys gave me a really good race car today."
ETC.: Logano points out "even though we aren't running the speeds we do at a lot of other places, things happen faster at Bristol than almost anywhere else we go. And that makes it exciting. It's unpredictable. And because of that, it's always a fan favorite."
9 MARCOS AMBROSE, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 14 points out of the top 10. Lost four spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: Finished fifth in the August race last year for his fourth top-10 finish in eight starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Ambrose said he "really likes Bristol. You are up on the wheel for all 500 laps of the race. That's the kind of racing I like and really excel at. It is definitely one of the tracks that fit my style of racing."
LOOKING BACK: Ambrose battled an extremely loose race car all day as he finished 22nd at Las Vegas. "It was a long day for everyone on the Stanley Racing crew," said Ambrose. "The car was really loose, and it was frustrating. I know Drew (Blickensderfer, crew chief) tried everything today to help it go faster for me. We did the best we could today under the circumstances, and now, we'll go (to Bristol) and make up the ground we lost today."
ETC.: Ambrose admits "the last few weeks have been tough. The cars have not been as good as we know they can be. I know the guys are back at the shop working their butts off so we can have a good finish this weekend (at Bristol). We fell back to 16th in the points last week and have got to get back up in the top 12. The only way to do that is post good finishes and get some wins."
18 KYLE BUSCH, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 16 points out of the top 10. Gained 16 spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: In the last nine races, he has four victories and six top-nine finishes. Overall, he has five wins and 11 top-10 finishes, including seven top-five's in 16 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch said, "We've had a lot of success at Bristol, but not last year. We've really hit a road block there for some reason, but things are different with the track changes last fall and the fact that we'll be working with a new car this time around, as well. We have to get back on our horse a little bit and this is a good way to do it."
LOOKING BACK: Busch delighted the huge crowd with several spectacular moves, including diving below the yellow line on one restart to grab the lead. But he "kept getting too loose" at the end of the long runs and ended the day in fourth place. "It was fast, it was really fast yesterday, just wasn't as fast as it needed to be today on the long runs," said Busch. "We had by far the best car in practice -- I don't know where that went. The worst Gibbs (Joe Gibbs Racing) car ended up winning the race (Matt Kenseth). It's funny how this game works."
ETC.: Busch said his most memorable experience at Bristol is "August 2010 -- being able to do the sweep. We won the truck race on Wednesday night, backed it up with the Nationwide race Friday and took home the Cup race on Saturday night."
