NASA's Astronomical Data Center (ADC) has established a researcher's guide to Data Mining Resources for Space Science (http://adc.gsfc.nasa.gov/adc/adc_datamining.html). Data mining is defined as ``an information extraction activity whose goal is to discover hidden facts contained in databases.'' Application of data mining tools and techniques will enable the data-intensive scientific discovery capabilities that will be required of the new envisioned National Virtual Observatory (NVO). The ADC's resource guide includes extensive reference material for the NVO and large astronomical surveys, as well as for related computer information technologies (e.g., XML and the GRID). Examples of several data mining techniques and related NVO science research scenarios will be presented. Of particular interest are data mining techniques of two types: (1) visual data mining, which includes graphical browse displays of statistical data; and (2) temporal data mining, with direct application to large time series databases, such as that generated by the MACHO project. Data mining challenges will also be presented, including: (a) distributed data mining across multiple data sources (i.e., the NVO); (b) data mining across multiple data types (e.g, fusion of search results from astronomical catalog and image databases); and (c) education and public outreach possibilities (e.g., search for incoming asteroids, or new comets, or new types of variable stars within the new huge astronomical survey databases). A possible ``NVO@Home'' implementation would naturally employ a combination of visual and temporal data mining techniques.

Fletcher, Iain M
Fletcher, IM. The effects of precompetition massage on the kinematic parameters of 20-m sprint performance. J Strength Cond Res 24(5): 1179-1183, 2010-The purpose of this study was to investigate what effect precompetition massage has on short-term sprint performance. Twenty male collegiate games players, with a minimum training/playing background of 3 sessions per week, were assigned to a randomized, counter-balanced, repeated-measures designed experiment used to analyze 20-m sprints performance. Three discrete warm-up modalities, consisting of precompetition massage, a traditional warm-up, and a precompetition massage combined with a traditional warm-up were used. Massage consisted of fast, superficial techniques designed to stimulate the main muscle groups associated with sprint running. Twenty-meter sprint performance and core temperature were assessed post warm-up interventions. Kinematic differences between sprints were assessed through a 2-dimensional computerized motion analysis system (alpha level p ≤ 0.05). Results indicated that sprint times in the warm-up and massage combined with warm-up conditions were significantly faster than massage alone. Also, step rate and mean knee velocity were found to be significantly greater in the warm-up and massage combined with warm-up modalities when compared to massage alone. No significant differences were demonstrated in any measures when the warm-up and massage and warm-up combined conditions were compared. Massage as a preperformance preparation strategy seems to decrease 20-m sprint performance when compared to a traditional warm-up, although its combination with a normal active warm-up seems to have no greater benefit then active warm-up alone. Therefore, massage use prior to competition is questionable because it appears to have no effective role in improving sprint performance.

Watch: What happens in Vegas stays there in 'Breaking Amish: LA'
The Amish seek strippers and gambling in Sin City
It turns out that being Amish doesn't preclude young people from swearing like rabid sailors, which is my takeaway from this clip from Sunday's episode of "Breaking Amish: LA" (Aug. 25, 10:00 p.m. on TLC). While some of the group wants to live it up in Las Vegas (think gambling and strippers), Matt thinks there's plenty of wholesome fun to be had in Sin City. Wholesome, yes. Fun, not really.
Watch the gang carp and whine as Matt tries to lead them through an educational experience at the Clark County Museum. Yeah, it doesn't go well.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons defensive tackle Peria Jerry, who re-signed with the team instead of venturing in free agency over the offseason, figures that there's still a role for him in the team's rotation.
Jerry watched as the Falcons signed defensive tackle Paul Soliai and defensive end Tyson Jackson this offseason.
"Yeah, I mean, we picked up a couple bigger guys on the front," said Jerry, the team's first-round pick in 2009. "So, we're looking forward to see how things pan out."
The Falcons used Jerry at tackle in the 4-3 and end in the 3-4 last season. He played in all 16 games and made 14 starts. He finished with 33 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Falcons coach Mike Smith said he hopes to have a two-deep rotation along the defensive line in 2014.
"I kind of feel like they are still going to play me the same way as they did," Jerry said. "We'll see how that turns out."
Jerry knows that he'll have to earn his snaps.
"You better have fire in your stomach every year, because there are younger and faster guys coming in each year," Jerry said. "You have to be prepared for that."
Jerry, 29, is fully recovered from a knee sprain he suffered in the regular season finale.
"I feel real good," Jerry said. "I'm real comfortable with myself. I just have to come out and try to prove myself. We are just going to see what happens."

Small, start-up companies that need limited office space for only a few months to initiate their businesses may do well to participate in one of the business incubator programs. There are a growing number of business incubators throughout California sponsored by various entities, such as universities, cities or counties, ethnic or industry associations, or private companies.
The business incubator is a cost-effective way for companies to find space to start their businesses. A few incubators are solely international in focus, while most of the others welcome domestic and international businesses. Incubator facilities can vary, but generally they offer an individual office, cubical or at least a desk for the businessperson, plus communal communication and business services. The incubator offers other benefits to a newly formed business. Within the organization are advisors and/or mentors who can guide a business person on legal, financing, banking, and personnel matters.
For information on business incubators around California, contact a local Small Business Development Center. Find local centers using our interactive map.

The Fort Sumter National Monument endures through its busiest month of July with loads of people shuffling through each and every day.
The grounds of the fort are consistently maintained, even with the abundant rainfall this summer. Much of the credit for the upkeep goes to the park rangers. But, working alongside these employees who do so much to maintain these precious historic sites is the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC).
The YCC consists of high school students around the Charleston area between the ages of 15-18. These YCC members help preserve the national monument and other park sites in the most intricate and difficult ways. Clearing the pathways, pulling weeds out of the bricks and painting around the fort, among other tasks are all done by the YCC.
Crew leader Michelle Welker said they are efficient because they work as a team. For many of these young adults this is their first job, and working outside all summer gives them a taste of work outside the classroom.
A few of them even heard about the opening this summer by reading the Moultrie News. Others are returnees from the previous summer.
The fort will only have the support of the YCC for a few more weeks, as their summer job will come to an end on Aug. 2.
But, next summer there will be opportunities for others to join the Youth Conservation Corps and participate in this unique experience.

Skip to comments.Bane of companies, PETA spy reveals self
Posted on 05/30/2005 7:03:30 PM PDT by SmithL
TRENTON, N.J. - Lisa Leitten is finished living her double life. For the past three years, the soft-spoken, 30-year old moved from Missouri to Texas to Virginia, applying for jobs at businesses dealing with animals. She gave her real name, and some real details about herself: a master's degree in animal psychology and prior work at a primate sanctuary in Florida.
What she didn't reveal was that she was also working for an animal welfare organization, and that she wore a hidden camera to document instances in which animals were treated with what she calls horrific neglect and cruelty.
Leitten called her last assignment for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals her most wrenching: nine months in a Virginia lab owned by Princeton, N.J.-based biomedical firm Covance Co. There, she says, monkeys were denied medical care and abused by technicians. The company denies the claims, says it treats the animals properly and has accused Leitten of illegally working under cover.
Two weeks ago, PETA presented Leitten's assertions about Covance in video footage and a massive report to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and Virginia prosecutors, calling for regulators to shutter the company's Vienna, Va., lab.
"This was my third assignment, and my final one," Leitten said in a recent interview with The Associated Press, the first time she has publicly revealed her identity. "You never forget the things that you've seen."
Leitten grew up an animal lover in a middle-class family in Buffalo, N.Y. While in college in Ohio, a psychology class took her to a zoo to study chimpanzee behavior.
"My love of primates grew from that," she said. "They are such intelligent, feeling animals, so like us."
She earned her graduate degree at Central Washington University's Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute, famously home in the late 1960s to a chimpanzee who learned sign language.
While in college, Leitten had become a vegetarian and found herself increasingly concerned about animal welfare. PETA was a natural fit.
But she was more comfortable working behind the scenes than marching in rallies. The intrigue of undercover work outweighed her initial worries.
"At first I thought, 'There's no way.' The fear of everything, of having to wear covert equipment and move around. But then it sounded sort of exciting at the same time," she said.
Her first job began in May 2002, a nine-month stint at a Missouri lab that produced pet food for Proctor & Gamble's Iams label. There, she claimed she found animals that were injured, had untended wounds and receiving unnecessary surgeries. Leitten documented her findings, quietly left the job and let PETA make her allegations public.
Retailer PetSmart and Iams severed contracts with the lab, which laid off nearly half of its workers. Its owner accused PETA of playing on corporations' fear of negative publicity rather than exposing legitimate concerns.
By July of 2003, Leitten resurfaced at her next assignment, a wildlife refuge in Amarillo, Texas. PETA said it had received complaints of tigers and monkeys housed in waste-laden cages and being fed spoiled food.
Six months later, Leitten slipped out of Texas, and PETA held another news conference with another damning video. A subsequent USDA review backed up the group's assertions.
For what she says was her final assignment, Leitten was hired as a primate technician for Covance.
Leitten's camera work, and the report issued by PETA, depict frightened monkeys being yanked from their cages and handled roughly by aggressive, often cursing technicians.
She says she watched animals suffer with festering wounds, and that tubes were forced into their sinuses for research medicine to be administered, causing them to scream, bleed and vomit. Monkeys were housed alone in cages that were hosed down with the animals still inside, dripping and shivering, she said.
Laurene Isip, a Covance spokeswoman, says the company has complied with animal welfare regulations for its half-century in business, and doubted the credibility of PETA's charges.
The company called Leitten's actions illegal. Legal experts agree.
"As an employee she has a legal right to be there, but she's there to fulfill and execute on the tasks and responsibilities give to her by her employer. She's not there to fulfill her own private agenda," said Scott Vernick, a Philadelphia lawyer specializing in professional responsibility and legal ethics.
Bruce Weinstein, who has written four books on ethics, said even noble ends do not justify deceptive means.
"The question is, can those perhaps noble ends be achieved legally and ethically? Can one legitimately document abuses that occur without pretending to be someone one is not, or breaking the law, or videotaping things surreptitiously?"
Mary Beth Sweetland, PETA's research and investigations director, said she now has two staffers working covertly, the latest of dozens of investigations conducted by the group's over 25 years.
In some instances, as at Covance, PETA says its moles have signed nondisclosure forms and claim to try to stay within the law by never removing anything from work sites or by revealing proprietary information.
So far only one company that's been infiltrated has sued: product-testing lab Huntingdon Life Sciences. The Somerset County-based company dropped its case in return for PETA promising to not infiltrate it again for at least five years.
"It's a risk we're willing to take," Sweetland said. "If it weren't for these investigations, no one would no what was going on."
For her part, Leitten says her time as a spy was spent worrying about the animals, not about being caught. She said she spent nights at home with her two dogs, weeping and writing up what she had seen during the day.
"That's why people only last in this job a couple of years," said Leitten, who asked that her current residence not be revealed. "I get migraines, a lot of anxiety. But if something can change for the animals, and their lives will be better in some way, then all those sleepless nights and crying at home will be worth it."
One would think that the company that paid her deserved her best effort to prevent cruelty. If the best that she can come up with is a few cuss words by technicians, they are doing pretty well.
I would love to hear her recommendation for what is to replace animal experiments. Usually that has something to do with testing medicine on humans, or not trying to make medical progress.
Fact. Primates tend to be biologically similar to humans. If you are doing genetics, you use a fruit fly because it is a great model (it has unusually large chromosomes that are visible under the microscope). If you are doing research on the eye, you use the Octopus, because it has unusually large optical structures. If you are looking at potential reaction of humans to drugs, primate testing is one step that you ethically have to consider. It is not gratuious cruelty, but it may be painful. We try to cut the pain to a minimum, but we will save human lives.
Along the way, we also develop medicines that are useful to treat primate diseases. We benefit from the primate testing, and the primates develop from human efforts to develop medicines.
Is it true that abandoned animals taken to PETA are immediately killed and not put up for adoption? If that is so, we need more feature stories on their animal genocide.
I think animals should be treated well, but we have no concern as a nation for the unborn. A child molester is something to joke about, especially when he is a celebrity.
I am SO not touching that.
I absolutely abhor PETA. That being said, abusing helpless animals who cannot complain to anyone is truly heartless and unchristian. If the allegations are true I am glad these "people" have been exposed.
Too bad PETA are such human haters. They could so easily have been sympathetic to the whole population.
Your post to me would seem indicate that you assume, for some unknown reason, that I do not object to the mistreatment of animals. For Clarity just let me say that I do object to the mistreatment of animals. Period.
Although I do not support Lisa Leitten's PETA freak position on using animals for food or testing, I do agree with documenting evidence of criminal activity at work. The perps will protest, complain and insist that employees have no right to have eyes that have seen, ears that have heard, or knowledge or evidence, of wrong doing but only what THEY say.
You can't buy my ethics off nor threaten me enough to throw them away. A wage does not make a slave.
Flame Suit On!
I could say that with a lot fewer words:
While in college, she slowly went off the deep end.
Animal cruelty is not nice, but there should be no laws against it.
We have dominion over animals and animals have no rights.
The definition of what is cruel is relative, anyway.
Anyone who abuses animals is a coward and less than human and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent under the law.
wouldn't this be covered under indutrial espionage? seems like she should go to jail.
I absolutely abhor PETA. That being said, abusing helpless animals who cannot complain to anyone is truly heartless and unchristian. If the allegations are true I am glad these "people" have been exposed.
Too bad PETA are such human haters. They could so easily have been sympathetic to the whole population.
PETA's attempts to sway people who are strongly pro-life are laugable (and you know few if any of them oppose abortion). It's like someone with no knowledge of sports trying to talk football during the Superbowl.
At least she has a new entry for her resume: Feckless poser. :o)
One of my favorite comments on this subject:
"There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who "love Nature" while deploring the "artificialities" with which "Man has spoiled 'Nature.'" The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of "Nature" -- but beavers and their dams are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-facie absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for beavers' purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the "naturist" reveals his hatred for his own race -- i.e., his own self hatred.
In the case "Naturists" such self-hatred is understandable; they are such a sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.
As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H. sapiens is the only race I have or can have.
Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women -- it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly "natural." --Robert A Heinlien
I disagree. Anyone who needlessly or sadistically abuses animals should be subject to legal penalties, severe enough to prevent them doing it again. Hunting, pest control, the use of animals in medical research and so on has a "greater good" rationale; needlessly hurting or harming defenseless animals does not.
Anyone contending THAT must never have read Karl Marx.
I find many members to be very hypocritical and inconsistent, especially with respect to the life of unborn babies. That's why I could not be a member.
I strongly object to the mistreatment of animals. If she witnessed these abuses, she should have reported it to her superiors at the company where she worked to see if they would take corrective actions.To stand idly by while these alleged abuses continued is inexcusable. I've known several people who work in animal research facilities, who are also animal lovers. There ARE ways to do animal research humanely.
Animals have no rights and can never respect nor understand them. Animals are not human.
I believe we are to be good stewards of them.
You would, pardon the pun, "have a cow" if you realized people on farms have to kick away animals when mobbed by them. That is life, but to you animal rightists, it should be "subject to legal penalties".
No, it shouldn't be legally handled. Simply shame those who do what you don't like. Keep the law out of it.
Do you think our Founders ever kept their animals in what we would now think was a "humane" fashion? Of course not!
You know, I hate PETA as much as anyone here. There are a million things to go after them for.... there links to terrorist activity, there apposition to necessary medical and scientific research, their war on the American farmer, their obsene and indecent nudity and gruesome media campaigns that our children are exposed to, etc. BUT I do not understand this whole "PETAkillsanimals.com" website and line of attack.
All they are doing in this case is euthanasia which they actually PUBLICLY endorse and PROMOTE as the "compassionate option" (so its not hypocrisy) which pretty much all humane shelters practice, etc. So I don't see how this line of criticism, that PETA puts animals down, will have any traction at all with the general public.
Let's focus on their real crimes.
I'd have to agree with this also. There is a distinct difference between utilizing animals as a resource and sadism. Those who inflict pain on an animal for the mere pleasure of it is socially ill and needs to be dealt with before they seek pleasure from inflicting pain on humans. Hunting, conducting medical experiments, fishing, etc. is different since the killing of the animal is directly tied to a utilized end.... inflicting pain for mere sport is not sport.
ConservativeMind: "Do you think our Founders ever kept their animals in what we would now think was a "humane" fashion? Of course not!"
Do you think our Founders kept blacks in what we would now think was a "civil" fashion?
My philosophy RE: animals is that I aspire to the balance of Ted Nugent.
I love his philosophy, of how he only eats want he hunts, traps or catches. He does not eat store boughten "flesh" as he calls it. I try to supplement my diet with as much wildgame as possible but am not able to go outdoorsing as much as I used to due to my health.
They like to pretend that they care for animals. Killing them is not care. It is not my line of attack. I just think they are Pharisees.
The technicians should be taught how to properly treat the animals in their care. They should not be treated roughly, cursed at, nor should they be left in their cages while the cages are hosed down. Their lives should be made as pleasant as possible. After all, they are valuable and they are doing humanity a great service. Also, they are living, breathing creatures belonging to God, just as we are.
I think that a family who puts a beloved pet "down" would say they are doing it out of compassion for that animal, to end their suffering. So I think any family who has had to go put a pet down will not think its hypocritical to both care for an animal and to practice euthanasia. That's just me.
I think PETAsupportsterrorists.com or PETAwantsyourkidtodie.com would be much better.
There most definitely should be laws against cruelty to animals. Animals are God's creatures just as we are. They deserve to be treated in a humane way.
Do you think that someone who sets a cat on fire or who ties a dog to a tree and leaves it there to starve to death should get off without punishment? If you do, I pity you.
Boy would abortion clinics be pissed off if they were recorded giving false info to an underage girl in a parental notice state or hiding a statutory rape. Partial birth abotion on tape - would that be fair? How about PETA training programs or animal shelters? I'm not advocating as such but it is only time before someone starts fighting fire with fire.

The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of "Nature"
Michael Jackson owned a chimpanzee. Sort of ironic.
They are self-righteous hypocrites whose philosophy, when examined in detail, is irrational. (A rat = a dog = a boy. I. Newkirk, PETA founder)
Okay, fine.
Injuring an animal for fun, or torturing it is something that should be punished by law. Those people go on to harm people, too. Euthanasia is, I guess, what has to be done when there a so many animals in shelters and no homes for them. I don't agree with it, but I can't take them all in.
Torturing and injuring for fun is a crime. You must agree with that. No animal should have to suffer just so people can get some kind of sick pleasure out of it.
I'm sorry, I've already stated what I think on this matter.
So I don't agree.
Is PETA a Cult?
I don't think so- not in the traditional sense of the word.
There are a number of "cult checklists" available online, and from my limited knowledge of the org, I don't think they'd get enough checkmarks to qualify.
(A large IT consulting firm I once worked for passed with flying colors, though.)
: ^ )
They are, however, an organization with extremist goals which are cloaked by "warm fuzzy" public generalizations that most people would not consider extreme.
Well, I tried.
They feel pain and distress though.
I believe we are to be good stewards of them.
For the most part, yes.
You would, pardon the pun, "have a cow" if you realized people on farms have to kick away animals when mobbed by them. That is life, but to you animal rightists, it should be "subject to legal penalties".
I grew up on a cattle farm. Using a stick with minimum necessary force or giving a cow a kick in the right spot to move her on is not what I was talking about. A good farmer uses only as much force as is necessary to control his animals, and a farmer with half a brain knows that well-treated animals are much easier to control and handle.
No, it shouldn't be legally handled. Simply shame those who do what you don't like. Keep the law out of it.
I'm sorry, but that is insufficient for me. If you're a person who keeps bears in tiny cages to harvest their bile or starves and beat your dogs to get them in fighting shape, I really doubt if you're going to worry about some guy up the street talking about you. I'm perfectly happy to see my tax dollars used to punish such people.
Do you think our Founders ever kept their animals in what we would now think was a "humane" fashion? Of course not!
I don't see what the has to do with anything. I don't know if they abused their animals, and I don't care. The fact that such abuse as may have occurred may have been perfectly acceptable behaviour back then does not tie us in the 21st century to those standards. And I'd be pretty confident that the average cow chewing the cud in a late 18th century pasture was probably pretty content.

Blogger's note: So … we've got a "True Detective" end game theory even though it's way too early to have a "True Detective" end game theory. What to do? Should we somehow turn out to be right, we don't want to spoil the journey for the couple hundred folks who read this blog. And if we're wrong, we don't want to bend the narrative of the blog to fit our theory and take y'all on a wild goose chase. So, we're going to have a little fun with this. We've written our thoughts down and placed them in a manila envelope along with the masthead of today's newspaper (see Vine video, link at right). We've given that envelope to the accounting firm of Brown, Hanna & Associates (see photo at right) to hold in a safe place until either a) the series ends and we're proven correct, or b) something happens that proves us incorrect, in which case, we'll crack the envelope and tell you what we thought and why we did and how we went wrong. "Brown" is Erik Brown, the Mirror's accounting manager, a more honest man you'll never find. "Hanna" is our fiancé Amy "Have Dog Will Blog" Hanna, an impartial witness. She is impartial in this matter because a) she doesn't have HBO and b) she's too busy watching every episode of "Criminal Minds" for the 27th time to care about "True Detective." So we're going to stick with brief essay-type blogs on "True Detective" and try to keep our theorizing to ourself (singular plural object!). Enjoy the ride.
There's a scene in the "True Detective" pilot where Matthew McConaughey's Rustin Cohle tells Woody Harrelson's Marty Hart that "it's taken me this long to come to terms with my nature, I don't imagine I'm going to change now for you." In the series' splendid second episode, "Seeing Things" – a direct reference to the hallucinations (or are they?) Cohle suffers but an indirect nod to the myriad of clues we're given about both the murder of Dora Lange and the hearts and minds of the detectives tracking her killer – we learn a lot more about the troubled nature of Cohle and get a real sense that Hart is a man who most definitely has not come to terms with his own nature. We think it's fairly clear now that the ritualistic murder that is the linchpin of the "True Detective" story is really a secondary part of the show and the real center is the character study of the two men who solved that murder. We'd imagine those two strands will become tangled into one thing as the show unfolds, but for now, getting to know Hart and Cohle seems much more important than getting to know whodunit. In "Seeing Things," we got an unflinching look at how Cohle became the bleak, troubled, hallucinating nihilist we meet in 1995. A measure of personal grief, a boatload of drugs and a professional identity crisis (part of which is still locked up sealed files in 2012) created the keen detective and battle-scarred man who showed up in Louisiana. Despite the crucifix above his bed, Cohle told Hart in the pilot that he's not a Christian, and while that might turn out to be true, Christianity again played a large part in this episode's moral compass, with Cohle quoting Corinthians in explaining to the why he became a homicide investigator instead of taking a psychological disability full pension when it was offered:
"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many." 1 Corinthians 12-14
When Cohle says he just wanted to remain a part of the body, we have to wonder exactly what body he's talking about. Policemen? The human race? Something more sinister? It also became clearer in "Seeing Things" that 2012 detectives Gilbough and Papania are not just trying to get caught up on the 1995 murder, but investigating whether the 1995 detectives, specifically Cohle, have some connection to the new murder, maybe not exactly suspects yet, but suspected of something. Cohle, of course, already is aware of that and has turned the interview into a proselytizing lesson on his views about the human nature of detective work. If Hart realizes there's an ulterior motive to the questioning, he hasn't shown it, providing a standup act of his "big-dick" bravado for the detectives, much as we see him do with his colleagues in a bar in a 1995 flashback that leads to a drunken date where we learn that Hart is exactly the kind of guy who would show up at his mistress's house with a bottle of wine and gift-wrapped handcuffs. While the pilot was filled with subtle hints that Hart was not the aw-shucks good ol' boy he pretends to be, "Seeing Things" left no doubt. Hart isn't just a womanizer, he's got a problem with women. From his run-in with the hillbilly bordello madam to his thinly veiled jealous interrogation of the mistress to his cut-to-the-bone fight with his wife, it becomes clear that Hart wants women to be what he wants, where he wants, when he wants, end of story. Cohle sees right through Hart's Good Samaritan routine at the brothel and his "Is that a down payment?" dig is the episode's moral center. We got plenty of clues along the way about the murder of Dora Lane – her mother's veiled assessment that she might have been molested, her trippy spiritual journal, and the church mural predicting (or re-creating?) her fate – but the real treat of "Seeing Things" was watching Hart and Cohle get to know each other … and realizing we might not know either of them.
A burned-out church reveals a hidden clue to Hart and Cohle in "Seeing Things."

A Killer in Their Midst
A Cancer Outbreak Among Children in Little Fallon, Nevada, Torments the Town and Mystifies Scientists
It has been nearly three years since Brenda, 38, who does research and scheduling work for an engineering firm, and her husband, Reto, 39, a lineman for Sierra Pacific Power Company, first discovered an unusual constellation of bruises on their son's lower back. To his parents' horror, Dustin was diagnosed with a type of cancer known as ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). Instantly they began a fight to keep him alive. "I remember sitting over his hospital bed, thinking we had lost him," says Brenda, who cries as she recalls those first critical days when Dustin's illness and the ferocious drugs used to treat it made a battleground of the boy's body.
Instead, after 33 months of chemotherapy plus dozens of trips to hospitals and specialists, Dustin's cancer is now in remission and doctors are hopeful that he will one day be cured. But just as the Grosses were winning their war against cancer, other families in the area were waging struggles of their own. Since Dustin was diagnosed on April 17, 1999, 12 other young people from Fallon (pop. 8,300) and surrounding Churchill County have been diagnosed with ALL, more than 20 times the national average. Another child has AML, acute myelogenous leukemia, which has a lower survival rate. Two of the children have died; 11 of the other victims, including Dustin, are in remission.
The people of Fallon, a placid farming community in the Nevada high desert, now find themselves at the epicenter of what scientists have conclusively identified as a cancer cluster—a rare and unexplained outbreak of disease among otherwise healthy kids grouped by place and time. Ken Tedford Jr., the town's mayor, recalls the creeping horror that settled over the region 65 miles east of Reno as the devastating and eventually deadly cluster took hold. "First there was denial: 'This is not happening,' " says Tedford, 48, a father of four young children, none of whom has contracted the disease. "Then there was anger, and finally acceptance: 'Okay, how are we going to deal with this?' "
At first the multiple diagnoses seemed like nothing more than a grim coincidence. Barbara de Braga, an oncology nurse at Churchill Community Hospital, became suspicious when the number of young leukemia patients spiked in the spring of 2000. "Back then we had one [chemotherapy] infusion room, so the parents were bumping into each other," she recalls. After the fifth child from Fallon became sick, she alerted the hospital administration and called her sister-in-law Marcia de Braga, who represents the region in the Nevada state legislature. Marcia notified state health authorities, and the investigation began. Early the next year Dr. Thomas Sinks, an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, visited the town and delivered a somber warning. "He said, 'You need to prepare for more cases,' " recalls Mayor Tedford.
Eventually Washington began to take notice too. "When little kids are sick and you see them with no hair and their faces bloated with chemotherapy, you see how serious the problem is," says U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat who held hearings in Fallon last April with New York Democrat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his colleague on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. (Reid has proposed a national database to help detect other clusters.) Last August investigators began combing the area to check for radon and possible leakage from a jet-fuel pipeline that runs beneath the town to nearby Fallon Naval Air Station.
Meanwhile researchers from the CDC are questioning victims and their families about the smallest details of their lives. "This is probably the most intensive investigation of a cancer cluster ever done in the United States," says the state's chief medical officer, Dr. Mary Guinan, who estimates that more than 100 researchers have so far joined the multimillion-dollar probe.
Earlier this year, before testing had even begun, a state panel of experts expressed doubts that environmental contaminants such as the benzene found in jet fuel and naturally occurring arsenic in the town's drinking water were to blame for the Fallon outbreak. Both chemicals have been present for years, and neither has been linked to the type of leukemia that has stricken most of the young victims. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is generally considered to be among the most treatable forms of cancer. But the treatment itself, especially for young children, is a harsh regimen of toxic chemotherapy drugs that ravage the body and can cause organ damage, mental retardation or even death.
Fortunately for the families who have had to endure the wrenching ordeal, the people of Fallon have banded together. Fallon Families First, a charity organized earlier this year, has raised $150,000 and distributed roughly half of it to financially hurting families in the form of mortgage payments, money for groceries and Wal-Mart gift certificates. In one case the group provided the strapped family of a sick child with cash for bone-marrow testing on several relatives. A match was found, and the child may soon receive a marrow transplant.
Neighbors have washed laundry for the families, offered free rides and delivered home-cooked meals to those in need. "It was amazing to see how many people were waiting in line to help us," says Reto, whose friends held a fund-raiser at a local casino in 1999 that raised $6,100. Adds Brenda: "I walked around town saying, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' "
In light of all the support they have been shown, the Grosses are grateful they moved to Nevada from Manteca, Calif., 12 years ago. Reto had landed a job with Sierra Pacific Power, so he and Brenda set out for their new home with their three older children—Sierra, now 16, Amanda, 15, and Reto, 12—in tow. Dustin was born six years later. Boisterous and healthy, he rarely caused his parents any concern before the day in March 1999 when his daycare provider reported that he seemed unusually tired. "He was taking two-and three-hour naps," says Brenda. She soon spotted bruises on Dustin's back and what appeared to be dots of blood beneath his skin. Alarmed, the Grosses whisked Dustin to the emergency room of Churchill Community Hospital.
There, a blood test was ordered, and four hours later a doctor returned with the devastating results: Dustin had leukemia. Dr. James Hockenberry, 68, the family's physician, tried to be reassuring but left no doubt that Dustin was gravely ill. The boy was flown to Sacramento, home of the University of California Davis Medical Center, where doctors pumped a transfusion of fresh blood into his listless body. Meanwhile his parents began a crash course on ALL.
They learned that the disease is the most common form of cancer among young children, afflicting some 2,400 in the U.S. each year. ALL destroys the immune system by causing the body to produce millions of malfunctioning white blood cells while also blocking the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Unlike other forms of leukemia, ALL has an expected survival rate of 80 percent.
Indeed, after an initial setback when Dustin reacted badly to the aggressive doses of chemotherapy and became so weak he could barely speak, his condition rapidly improved. His cancer went into remission after just 10 days of therapy. The Grosses returned to Fallon and converted one of the three bedrooms in their ranch house into an oncology ward for one, where Brenda would draw blood from her son to monitor his damaged immune system. Sierra learned to flush out the plastic catheter in his chest—which was implanted to make injections easier—and to administer his medication, as many as 33 pills a day. Dustin lost his hair and had to be hospitalized twice for pneumonia, but he held his own. So did his parents, who worked hard to hide their fear from the children. "We saw some nasty stuff at the hospital," says Reto. "The best thing is to keep going and think positive."
In the spring of 2000, just as the Grosses were coming to grips with their son's disease, Brenda ran into Richard Jernee, a truck driver from Fallon, at the Sacramento hospital. His son Adam was also being treated there for ALL. Tragically there would be no happy ending for the Jernees. After intense chemotherapy, bone-marrow transplants and radiation treatments, Adam died on June 3 at the age of 10. "As it was happening, I held his head in my hands and whispered over and over again that his daddy loved him," says Jernee, 34.
Among the mourners at Adam's memorial service in Fallon later that month was Tammi Beardsley, whose 6-year-old son Zachary—the ninth Fallon victim—had been diagnosed eight months earlier. As she wept through Jernee's eulogy, Beardsley, 41, felt a mixture of guilt that her son was surviving and panic that although he was responding well to treatment, there is never a guarantee of survival with cancer. "How does a mother say goodbye to her child?" she asks.
That sense of foreboding is a common feeling among families fighting the disease. Carinsa Rivers, 25, a part-time community college student, is still haunted by what her 4-year-old daughter Sereynah said two years ago as she struggled against hospital technicians who were trying to insert an IV line shortly after she was diagnosed with ALL. "She said, 'I don't want to get dead,' " recalls Rivers, at the time a single mother pregnant with her second child. Initially Rivers drew strength from weekly meetings of a support group organized by Brenda Gross. But after the meetings turned into a forum for complaints about the investigation, she stopped attending.
For most parents of children with ALL, the fact that scientists may never determine the cause of the cancer cluster is a source of deep frustration. Many are also exasperated by what they see as the investigators' hasty conclusion that contaminants—arsenic and benzene—probably did not cause the illnesses. "This is emotional," says the state of Nevada's Dr. Mary Guinan. "The families are disappointed that we can't provide answers."
Nevertheless researchers are exploring a third possible explanation for the sudden outbreak. Known as "population mixing," it is a complicated theory that suggests that newcomers to the rural region—personnel at the air base, for example—may have brought with them unfamiliar viruses or bacteria. By a process that scientists don't yet understand, the viruses and bacteria may have triggered a cancer-causing reaction among the children. Even scientists who support this theory acknowledge that it is unproven. "I don't think we understand exactly what's going on," says Dr. Thomas Sinks, the CDC epidemiologist.
While that may seem like an understatement to Fallon's citizenry, the band of families can at least take comfort from speculation that the cluster may soon run its course. With no new diagnoses since last May, experts are cautiously hopeful that the unknown factors that suddenly caused the outbreak may just as abruptly have disappeared. But the mystery remains. Says Tammi Beardsley, the mother of a 6-year-old survivor: "If this can happen to my child, who had a healthy head start in life, then it could happen to anybody."

Two students from the National Landscape School of Versailles in Paris are interns this summer at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.
Sophie Bertrand and Ana Morales are working in the gardens with Magnolia's staff in the mornings, and in the afternoons they are pursuing their areas of interest. They also will tour gardens in Charleston and elsewhere in the South.
This is the fourth year Magnolia has participated in the exchange program with the French Heritage Society in Paris and New York with assistance from the Alliance Francaise in Charleston.
Since 1985, the French Heritage Society has sponsored an educational exchange program for American and French students in the fields of preservation, cultural management, architecture, art history, horticultural and other areas related to historic preservation.
American students have been selected for internships in decorative arts, history, art history, gardening and museums while French students have been selected for internships in research, art history, gardening and museums.
"We are now in our fourth year participating in this program," Tom Johnson, Magnolia's executive director, said. "We enjoy working with the French students because having them here matches our long-term mission to use horticulture to bridge the gap between Europe and America."
After graduating from Versailles, Bertrand wants to design gardens for an urban design company or an architect. She is a native of Moulins Sur Allier, a small town in central France.
A native of Paris, Morales wants to start a landscape design company.
Bertrand's and Morales' internships end on Aug. 9.
Seven other French students have interned at Magnolia since 2010.
Magnolia's representative this summer in the program, Dana Reynolds, is currently in France. She is a graduate of the horticulture program at North Carolina State University. Follow Reynolds' blog about her visit to French gardens at: http://frenchgardenadventure.blogspot.fr.

Punicalagin is an ellagitannin, a type of phenolic compound. It is found in forms alpha and beta in pomegranates (Punica granatum), in Terminalia catappa and Terminalia myriocarpa,[1] and in Combretum molle, the velvet bushwillow, a plant species found in South Africa.[2] These three genera are all Myrtales and the last two are both Combretaceae.
Health effects[edit]
Punicalagins are the largest molecule found intact in rat plasma after oral ingestion[3] and were found to show no toxic effects in rats who were given a 6% diet of punicalagins for 37 days.[4] Punicalagins are also found to be the major component responsible for pomegranate juice's antioxidant activity.[5]
Punicalagin is water-soluble and has high bioavailability. They are known to hydrolyze into smaller phenolic compounds such as ellagic acid in vivo where one potential mechanism is hydrolysis across the mitochondrial membrane of cultured human colon cells.[6][7]
It is a highly active carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.[8]

In an unprecedented move I am actually puttting the same song up twice….in a way. Both dubs, and different mixes. This one is courtesy of Binary friend Digitalfoxglove and was not yet complete at the time of the last post. When it hit my dropbox I knew it deserved a larger audience so…..here we are.
Figure Of 8 Feat. Jonny Nutt – Bittersweet (Digitalfoxglove Remix Dub) by digitalfoxglove
Peter brings the bass up front and adds a mellow vibe that has euphoric disco flavor for days. Dreamy, funky, happy. Sweet Tune. This one seems directed for the bedroom, more late night lover than mournful/dark, Digitalfoxglove brings the sundown smolder.Well done. Instantly on repeat. Cruise by his soundcloud and check him out. Quality music from a quality musician. And a free download! Cheers!

But the fire is still burning, according to Heather Dinich in a personal interview with legendary Coach Joe Paterno.
But it may not be the brimstone of purgatory that is burning. JoePa has been criticized quite heavily in the past few years for what many feel is an apparent relaxation of his disciplinary codeand the underlying implication is that the rules are being relaxed to play players and win games.
I am shocked! Well, I was shocked, but thats because I thought I could fix the wiring in my office myself. Burning computer is worse than brimstone, in case you were wondering. My eyebrows will grow back. But, I digress.
Quoth Paterno:
"I think the kids today are better," he said. "The ones who come in, go to school, do the job academically, pay the price athletically, they're better because there are more temptations now and they have to be more careful. But if you think in 1955, '56, we didn't have kids 18 years old drinking beer and making asses out of themselves ... The kids are no different than they were except everybody now is jumping all over it because (the media) have changed."
Paterno is evasive regarding the future of Anwar Phillips, whose trial is set for sometime in August. He is also somewhat angeredIMHOby the publics perception.
Now, everybody wants to take all those cards out of your hand. Everyone is telling me what you gotta do. ... 'You're a disgrace. You're not doing this to this kid. You're not doing that to this kid.' ... I mean, they're still kids.
Maybe its more frustration than anger.
Anyway, there certainly have been events in the recent past that have tarnished the image of Penn State Football, and possibly even Paterno himself. When Rashard Casey was accused, though, Paterno stood behind his quarterback through the whole ordeal. Casey played, and it still didnt help PSU win. But many people felt he should have been benched.
But when the smoke cleared, the Grand Jury never even indicted Casey. That doesnt mean he was innocent necessarily, but they apparently felt there was not enough evidence to justify any charges.
So who was right? Paterno for standing by his player or the media who lambasted him for playing Casey? Will Paterno be vindicated again in the Phillips trial? IF he turns out to be innocent, then I think Paterno did the right thing. But, if he is found guilty, Im still not sure Paterno was completely out of line.
Say what? What are you smokin there, Todd?
Lets not forget this is America. Even University Park. One of the hallmarks of our system of governmentas a Beacon of Democracyis the concept that people are innocent until proven guilty and that everyone has a right to due process.
I for one dont think these kids should be punished until they have been proven guilty of whatever crime they have committed. It is not our place, nor Paternosto make that judgment. Thats why we have judges.
Should anyone who is charged with a crime be suspended from their job, especially if they really are innocent and wrongly charged? Now it all depends on the crime and the job. If a man is charged with embezzlement, then it might not be a good idea to leave him in charge as treasurer. But, if that same treasurer is charged with assaulting another individual, then he should probably be allowed to continue to work until the matter is settled in court.
There are a lot of reasons why this problem seems to be growing, and Paterno touched on some of these.
For one thing, college football is high profile, and the media brings these issues to light very quickly. People have a lot more access to information as well. There are more temptations out there than there were in the past.
Unfortunately, the NCAA doesnt have any set policy for handling these situations, leaving the disposition up to the institution or coaches to decide. It seems odd that this body feels it necessary to penalize players for taking their helmet off or celebrating in the endzone, but they dont have a policy for kids that break the law. Accept a hamburger from an agent, and you cant play. Be accused of assaultwell, well let the school handle that.
So what is the answer? Id guess C.
In the meantime, the NCAA might want to invest some of their time outlining what types of offenses players should be suspended for, whether players can play with legal actions pending, and how institutions should handle thise.g. a panel of students, professors and legal advisors, or the coach themselves. Personally, I think the coach should have input, but his/her judgment might be subjectively distorted and should therefore not be the only one making the call.

I have to agree that Cobain would not like being in Guitar Hero... in fact he probably would hate this game and Rock Band as well. Have to agree with Courtney Love on this one. She has the rights to his image too I think so they should have approached her in the first place to get permission to use his likeness.
Courtney Love attacks Activision
Media recently pointed out how weird it is to see Kurt Cobain singing in Guitar Hero 5 or even rapping. For Guitar Hero 5, Activision made Kurt Cobain an unlockable, playable character. It shouldn't surprise anyone that Courtney Love is threatening legal action now.
Posted on her twitter account she raged about Activision's decision stating it was a, "outrageous violation and breach of contact".
She said: "I cannot allow this to stand… For the record, this Guitar Hero shit is breach of contract on a Bullys part and there will be a proper addressing of this and retraction.
"WE are going to sue the sh*t out of Activision we being the Trust the Estate the LLC the various LLCs Cobain Enterprises.
"Activision being motherf**king sorted it will be addressed hardcore. I have nothing to do with Guitar Hero I loathe it and find it odious Kurt would have too."By GamingAngel in News 1 Comment »

She Likes Herself!
Her Problems with Food and Men Long Past, Hollywood Power Sally Field Fearlessly Faces Fortysomething
Field, who at 44 is two years farther than that down the slippery slope of middle age, is comfortable being the butt of jabs equating aging with career obsolescence—and with good reason. Still girlish-looking, she hasn't yet started drooping in all the wrong places. And to ensure professional longevity, she has carved out a spot for herself as one of Hollywood's most powerful women. One of her lesser-known offscreen roles this summer: coproducer of the Julia Roberts tearjerker Dying Young.
Her self-esteem, shaky through most of her youth, has only firmed up with maturity. "I never thought I'd be 44," she says. "When I was 24, 44 seemed like 104! But my strengths now come from experience. I feel like I've come into my own."
Field now commands at least a few million per picture, but getting to the top of the heap—and staying there—left some scars. In 1967, while living with the pressure of being TV's Flying Nun, Field privately fought an obsession with food and weight. The bubbly little girl who was the very embodiment of American apple-pie cuteness as TV's irrepressible Gidget was in fact filled with self-loathing about her body image. "There is a time in adolescence when women naturally gain weight," she say's. "You wake up one morning 20 pounds heavier. Everybody then was Twiggy, except me. I felt immensely unattractive."
When she was 20, a family doctor prescribed diet pills and diuretics, and Field says she began a three-year cycle of pill popping, starving, then stuffing herself, "I would lose 10 or 15 pounds in a week, eating nothing but cucumbers and working all day," she recalls. "My hands would shake all the time, and sometimes I'd pass out. But then I would goon these enormous binges. I lived alone and was very lonely. I made myself spaghetti dinners and chocolate cake and ate the whole thing, then tried to throw up because I was in such pain. But I couldn't. My body would be so swollen the next day that it would hurt to touch, and my eyes would be little slits."
She began to conquer her problem, she says, when she became pregnant with sons Peter, now 21, and Eli, 19, during her five-year first marriage to Steve Craig, her boyfriend from her days at Birmingham High School in California's San Fernando Valley. "Being pregnant forced my body to ask me to eat the right things," says Field. "Having children—the running around—helped my metabolism." Yet, though she has relied on the same therapist since she was 18, Field says that she didn't stop turning to food in times of stress until she fell in love with Alan Greisman, 44, whom she married in 1984. "When Alan and I got together, it resolved itself," she says. "I don't know why."
But Field isn't one to dwell in the past. "Onward and upward," she is saying to Sam, the couple's 3½-year-old son, as she towels him off after a swimming lesson at the family's house on a quiet cul-de-sac in L.A.'s tony Brentwood section. In the background, a construction crew is hammering away, completely renovating the 7,000-square-foot home, while Field, Greisman and Sam have temporarily moved to a Spanish-style rental house two miles away. "We decided to redo the kitchen last November." Field says sheepishly. "bill I got carried away."
But then, doesn't she always? Field still can't live down her famous "You like me!" Oscar acceptance speech for 1984's Places in the Heart, though she now is willing to play it for laughs. "We almost had her saying 'You like me' in Soap-dish," when Celeste accepts an award, says Greisman, who coproduced the film. "But Sally said that it takes you out of the movie and reminds you of who she is in person."
In person, of course, she is one of America's best-loved actresses, a distinction that Field attributes to the public's impression that she is "like one of them." Even her hobbies—needlepoint and gardening—are heartland favorites. "It seems to me, in the words of my friend Shirley MacLaine, that this is my path," Field says. "I'm not going to be knighted, like Meryl Streep. My real assets have always been acting and just being pleasant."
In Field's case, being America's sweetheart may have saved Soapdish from a dreaded R rating. Under MPAA interpretation, two utterances of the F word could spell R. In addition to Field's Gloria Swanson outburst, Robert Downey Jr. uses the celebrated Anglo-Saxonism in the movie, yet remarkably the film sailed through the censors with a PG-13. "I guess when Sally Held says f—-, it doesn't count," says studio executive Gary Lucchesi.
But when Sally Field says march—or don't march—people listen. Says Kevin McCormick, the partner in her company, Fogwood Films, which produced Dying Young: "If there's a principle of justice involved, she jumps on the table with the strike sign."
Not that Field ever had designs on emulating Norma Rae, the rough-and-ready textile-mill labor organizer she played in the 1979 film. "Sally became a producer out of self-defense," says Laura Ziskin, who coproduced 1985's Murphy's Romance with Field. "There just aren't great roles for women. Here was someone with a tremendous talent who said, 'I'm going to have to take control of my life and develop my own material.' " Field hasn't jumped on an equal-pay bandwagon though. When Streep complained last year in the Los Angeles Times that Jack Nicholson earned more money for his films because he was a man, Field didn't offer sympathy. "We should fight for working mothers who are really strapped," she said, "before we fight for whether Meryl Streep makes as much as Jack Nicholson."
Field used to shy away from female friends, but actresses such as Goldie Hawn and Kate Capshaw have become warm pals. And some young actresses see her as a role model. One recipient of Field's advice on dealing with celebrity has been Roberts, 23, her Steel Magnolias cast mate. "I told her that the only way you learn is by making mistakes," she says.
Field herself learned the hard way after breaking into television on Gidget at 18. There was the memorable Flying Nun, which she has called "a walking joke," and a series of all-too-forgettable TV roles before she won her first Emmy for 1976's Sybil, based on the true story of a woman with 16 personalities. By the time she followed it up with her two Best Actress Oscars, she had not only been through a much-publicized five-year romance with Burt Reynolds but had filled up her dance card with names including Johnny Carson and Soapdish costar Kevin Kline.
Time has healed any lingering wounds from her breakup with Reynolds. While razzing many of his former costars (such as Kathleen Turner and Dolly Parton) in his recent one-man road show, he called Field "the best actress I've ever worked with." She says Reynolds freed her from prudishness: "I was raised in the '50s, and I was such a product of my time that sexuality was something frightening to me. Burt was this very vigorous, attractive man, and he helped a lot in just liking me and being attracted to me. It helped in shaking myself loose."
She wasn't ready to be caught again until she met Greisman in the spring of 1984, when he came to her pitching film ideas and ended up pitching woo. The couple married that December. Field credits the laid-back Greisman with erasing her insecurities about men, which began when she was 4 and her drugstore-owner father, Richard, and actress-mother, Margaret (a Paramount contract player), divorced. Although Margaret Field was later remarried to Jock Mahoney, a sometime movie Tarzan who helped raise Sally, an elder brother and younger sister, Field remained cautious in her own relationships until now. "Alan's a worker emotionally," she says.
If she's more devoted as a wife, she is also more self-assured as a mother the third time around. "I used to feel guilty about my kids just because I wasn't Betty Crocker," says Field. "But then Peter and Eli grew up, and—they're fine. They're better than fine, they're stupendous." Peter, who will graduate from Syracuse University this summer, enters the master's writing program at the University of Iowa this fall; Eli will be a sophomore at the University of Colorado. "I realize how fast childhood goes, so I think I cherish Sam's that much more." Although from afar the 5'2" Field could pass for a child herself (Soapdish costume designer Nolan Miller fit her wardrobe on a 12-year-old stand-in), she is aware of the visible signs of midlife. "I try to ignore aging because there's nothing I can do," she says. Well, maybe one thing. "I haven't done it yet, but I'm gonna definitely do it," she says, rubbing her jawline with her hands. "I think, well, what can you do here? I think it's great to do plastic surgery."
But first there are projects to develop and decisions to make. At her flower-filled production office in Brentwood, she is talking about a new script. "There are four elderly sisters with a murderous secret," she explains. "The house is crumbling around them, and there's a flood....It's for an older actress." She laughs. "We'll keep it for later," she says.

Skin layers
Laser resurfacing is a good option for treating many minor skin problems, including wrinkles, scars, age spots, sun damage, stretch marks, brown skin discoloration and some types of acne scarring.
Laser resurfacing can smooth the tone and texture of your skin, resulting in a more youthful look. It can soften the lines around the eyes, mouth and deep wrinkles, and minimize unevenly colored skin and facial scars. The procedure can be used to treat a small area or your entire face. Skin laser treatment is often used as a more advanced alternative to chemical peel and dermabrasion.
Age, skin color and the extent of skin damage are considerations in determining whether laser resurfacing is appropriate for you, and also which skin laser method will produce the best result.
Different types of lasers produce intense beams of focused, bright light, varying in intensity and pulse duration. The type of light a laser emits is the determining factor in which problems it can treat.

More than a month ago, a one-eighth mile oval strip of asphalt appeared about two or three miles east of Elkins beside U.S. 33. It is the go-kart racers' favorite place to convert gasoline to noise - and a place to see just how fast their tiny race cars will run.
The Mountaineer Kartway and Laser Skirmish WV opened on Oct. 1.
Owner and operator Scott Smith said, "We are running go-karts and mini-wedges. We have six karts for rent and, if the weather doesn't get too bad, we hope to run all winter. I have ordered winter-tread tires for the rental units and hope we can run at least on weekends during the winter months."
Article Photos
Smith noted that he will have laser tag guns in about two weeks. "The laser tag guns are about the same thing as paint ball guns without the bruises," he said.
"We will begin having competition races for both the regular go-karts and the mini-wedges next spring," Smith said. "Believe it not, there is a tremendous amount of interest in this kind of racing in Elkins and Randolph County - young and old."
The karts, according to Smith, are powered by 6.5 horsepower Honda Clone engines and reach speeds between 35 and 50 mph.
When asked how he became interested in building a facility of this kind, he said, "Well, I was looking for something different for our kids to do. Every kid I know loves racing and this gives them an opportunity to something they love to do. Not only can they come out here and ride around the track in a make-believe world of the 'big-time racer' they can also get involved in competitive racing."
Those wishing to ride the karts must be at least 58 inches tall and not exceed 72 inches in height and weigh no more than 300 pounds. Riders must wear a helmet, eye protection and gloves and are not permitted to wear open-toed shoes. Helmets, gloves and goggles are available at the track.
Current fall hours of operation are Fridays from 4 p.m. until dark. The track is open on Saturdays and Sundays from noon until dark.
For more information call 304-642-8669 or visit www.mountaineer-kartway.com.


text: I'm actually waiting for a bottle of it to arrive but haven't tried it yet. I'm hoping it will help with brain function during my most sleep deprived times. My understanding is that it's best taken before bed because it may help with sleep quality, which would, of course, help with focus and stress levels in general. I'm not sure about functioning as an immediate acting anti-anxiety supplement. A couple of things that really work wonders for that are L-Theanine, GABA, and Taurine. I've even heard people refer to L-Theanine as nature's Xanax, but I haven't noticed that dramatic of an effect personally. It's definitely good stuff, though.
