Honda CBR250R: Sport-Bike For The Scooter Crowd?
Honda recently launched the CBR250R, a small, lightweight motorcycle aimed at a wide swath of riders — and potential riders. Its small size and high fuel economy — these bikes typically go more than 60 miles on a gallon of fuel — make it an alternative to the scooters that have become popular in cities and suburbs.
For longtime motorcycle fans the CBR label has deep meaning because it is the the name of Honda's high-performance sport bike line that is topped by the $13,399 CBR1000RR. While many people aspire to ride the "big" CBR, Honda is betting more real-world riders will want the small, economical but still-flashy CBR250R.
On paper the new bike looks like a scooter, with its single-cylinder engine, relatively low power and $3,999 sticker price. But unlike a scooter, the Honda has the full set of hand and foot controls for its throttle, brakes, clutch and gear-shift lever. In rider parlance it is a "real motorcycle."
If the CBR's description sounds familiar, right down to the price, it is because it is similar to the Ninja 250R built by rival Kawasaki, which has kept the lights on in the pint-size superbike category since the 1980s. The tiny Ninja has a devoted following here among beginning riders, petite women who appreciate its compact size and light wait, to purist riders who say it brings back the joy of riding an uncomplicated bike.
Now Honda wants to cash in on that part of the market as more people consider motorcycles as a way to save money and eliminate some of the hassles of commuting by car.
For beginners, the bike's narrow frame, 30.5-inch seat height and 359-pound weight will make it easier to handle than bigger sport bikes or cruiser-style machines that weigh 100 to 200 pounds more. Like a growing number of bikes, the CBR is also available with anti-lock brakes, which can save riders from locking the wheels, skidding and crashing — a common riding hazard.

SABMiller has launched a cassava beer in Ghana, the global brewing giant said on Thursday, and this will bolster its strategy of wooing low-income home-brew drinkers in African markets.
It also builds on the success of the world's first commercially made cassava beer' Impala' which SABMiller unveiled in Mozambique 18 months ago.
Producers of alcoholic beverages stand to benefit from the growing consumer market in Africa as more people on the continent move out of poverty, according to Moody's Investors Service.
"We see strong growth potential in the African market as more people move from home-brewed beer and spirits to commercially produced alcohol," Knut Slatten, an analyst at Moody's, said in a report released in May last year.
The beer will be brewed by SABMiller's local subsidiary Accra Brewery under the brand name Eagle. The launch of Eagle will provide an opportunity to turn locally grown cassava into a cash crop' for farmers to generate income.
Much of the cassava in Ghana is grown by subsistence farmers and there is an estimated 40% surplus each year, partly because there is little opportunity for farmers to sell it in commercial markets.
Drought-resistant cassava, a starch-rich root vegetable, grows widely across Africa but degrades almost immediately after it is harvested. This' together with its high water content' makes it unsuitable for transport over long distances.
Absa Investments analyst Chris Gilmour said: "Up until recently, the limiting factor with cassava, which is the most widely grown crop in the whole of Africa, has been that it goes off within about 24 hours. SABMiller has the technology that allows for the harvesting and the subsequent treatment of the cassava pretty much on site.
"Eagle is aimed at attracting low-income consumers away from illicit alcohol. This is a virtuous circle: smallholder cassava farmers have a guaranteed market for their crop' which is then used to make consistently high quality' affordable beer for consumers; and the government realises increased revenues as people trade up into formal' taxable alcohol consumption'" SABMiller Africa MD Mark Bowman said.
Eagle will be sold in 375ml bottles at a price point equal to 70% of mainstream lager. This is made possible by a reduced excise rate agreed with the Ghanaian government in recognition of the use of locally sourced commodities and the long-term contribution that Eagle is expected to make to agricultural and economic development in the country.
"In Africa, the big competition at the very low end of the market is from rather toxic home-brews that don't have any kind of regulation. In Africa you have to go for a very cheap beer and cassava fits the bill, it makes an awful lot of sense.
"Over time it will start gaining traction. It is a high-quality, affordable beer," Mr Gilmour said.

Seattle and Boeing
I served aboard ship for much of 1964-67. When in port, my home was Pier 91 at the Navy Supply Depot, Seattle. It was a beautiful city then, and I expect that it still is.
Many of the civilians I met while ashore had some association with the Boeing Aircraft Company. They would talk about Seattle as if it were a suburb of Everett, which was Boeing's world manufacturing center and the focus of their work lives.
It wasn't a huge stretch to think of Seattle as a one-industry town in the 1960s. That was brought home to me later in my tour when I saw a billboard that said, "Will the last person leaving Seattle, please turn off the lights?" It was related to Boeing's fortunes at the time. That period turned out to be only a small pothole in Puget Sound's economic highway.
Fast forward to 2013. Seattle is in the national news a lot. Boeing is the major economic engine in the Puget Sound area. Maybe residents should remember that billboard of the 1960s.
Or they could ask people from elsewhere what it has been like since the American steel industry collapse destroyed the economy of Western Pennsylvania river towns.
We visit my wife's childhood home in Pennsylvania every year. The small steel towns that hug the Ohio and Beaver rivers still struggle economically. My wife comments that the old towns look about the same except in 1962 the house paint was a lot newer, and perhaps there were more lights on in the buildings.
Is industrial history about to repeat itself, this time in the Puget Sound area? If I were in Seattle, I might ask the question: Have you ever been to Ambridge, Pa.?

Mace for Senate
I am a Summerville native, a 1976 graduate of The Citadel, a 21-plus year naval aviator veteran and 14-year staff member of The Citadel as both a tactical officer, advising the Corps of Cadet leadership and then associate director of admissions. I was also treasurer of the National Citadel Alumni Association for several years and have been very active in the Summerville Citadel Club since my Navy retirement in 1997.
I first met Nancy Mace while I was a tactical officer. She had a tough road as one of the first women in the corps, but she stuck to her convictions.
Over the years I have known her to be a committed person who says what she means and does what she says.
She was the first female grad from our alma mater and revitalized The Citadel Club of Atlanta. She started her own company and encouraged other young people to strive to do their best.
Nancy epitomizes the cadet code: "A cadet does not lie, cheat, steal nor tolerate those who do."
I ask you to lend your support to help elect Ms. Mace to the U.S. Senate and help us take back our Congress to the conservative values that mean so much to us: a balanced budget, defunding Obamacare, stopping earmarks, and ridding the burden of the current onerous federal tax structure.

Preserve median
Many thanks to state representatives Larry Grooms and Edward Southard for their efforts to preserve the median along I-26. Here are the most likely causes of wrecks and fatalities:
1) Signage of various types.
2) Inattention due to texting, cell phones, billboards and debris on the highways.
3) Alcohol and illicit drugs.
4) Fatigue.
5) Excessive speed and road rage.
6) Lack of law enforcement.

Morality missing
Some more drivel in the Dec. 16 Post and Courier article on HIV prevention counseling. Counsel, don't counsel - the article is meaningless in that it deals with everything after the fact.
The problem is indiscriminate sex in a society that is almost void of any moral responsibility. As long as they are gratified, the "me" generation won't stop.
Even our so-called national health plan endorses abortion as a means of birth control. How sick is that? We are a country adrift in moral chaos with a leader who has no moral compass whatsoever. He is interested in his next vacation and next great speech blaming everyone but his narcissistic self.

Finish the job
Recently my husband and I were driving north on Savannah Highway after a short shopping trip. We were stopped by the traffic light at Wappoo Road.
I glanced over and saw the partially demolished county market building, which has been an eyesore for months. What an introduction to Charleston it makes!
What's up? Who stopped the demolition? What is the building's historical significance?
Our concern is not just for esthetics but for safety as well.
What if someone goes in there and gets hurt? Who will pay for the lawsuit?
I expect that the person/persons who halted the demolition will.
So let the demolition go forth. And yes, we are native Charlestonians who appreciate preserving our heritage and city. But this is way out of the realm of historical preservation.

Broken promises
Well, here we go again. The military is taking another hit. My late husband did 22 patrols on submarines in his 24 years of service to his country. For six months of the year, he was at sea. He was promised that he and his family would always be taken care of.
I am a widow. I receive a part of his retirement in the form of survivor annuity.
Will that be cut? So much money was taken away from the military because of sequestration that I wonder if we have enough money for our brave men and women in uniform to have squirt guns. Maybe Congress will approve the use of water balloons to drop on our enemy.
Retirees, their families and veterans are receiving reductions in health care and now the rumor is that commissaries will be closing next year.
I know this might seem trivial to those who have never served or been part of the military family, but if you were promised things to keep you in your job and you got "not so fast," how would you feel?

Right man for job
I can think of no lieutenant governor as dedicated to the office as Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell. He has been a tremendous problem solver in the Office on Aging while wearing that big smile.
While giving up his seniority in the Senate was a difficult choice, he put on his waders and slogged into a quagmire of unresolved issues, coming up with new solutions every day.
These attributes make him the right choice for the new College of Charleston president.
Hard work and dedication are needed right now to maintain the forward momentum in the success of the college.
Lt. Gov. McConnell is the one with the drive to do this job.
Don't let a golden opportunity slip through the cracks.

Did Jesus Christ make Seattle under protest?
By Charla Bear • Apr 27, 2012
You might say Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Protest. Or, Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Pressure.
Either way, this provocative statement is a big help when you're trying to get around downtown Seattle.
It's a mnemonic device, a sentence that helps you remember the names and order of the city's streets. The first letter of each word corresponds to a pair of streets between Pioneer Square and Belltown. Jesus starts with a "J" which means Jefferson and James come first. The "C" in Christ signals that Cherry and Columbia are next, and so on.
You might've already known that, but do you have any idea where the memory trick came from? Or, why it remains so popular?

Ocean Edge Resort & Club Reopens
Ocean Edge Resort & Club on Cape Cod has announced the grand opening of its new $8.5 million Nicklaus Design Golf Course. The total redesign of the former Ocean Edge golf course has remodeled and reshaped all greens and holes, with the most significant changes being increased length, better playability and more challenges on the course. The greens now meet USGA specifications.
"We are now a more challenging course, but Ocean Edge will still be fun and enjoyable for novices as well as accomplished golfers" said Michael Medeiros, head golf professional at Ocean Edge Resort & Club on Cape Cod. "The new golf course is strategically accurate for all levels of play."
The Ocean Edge Nicklaus Design course is available for play by Ocean Edge Club Members and hotel guests, who also have access to the recreational and social privileges at the Cape Cod resort.
"We are already seeing the benefits of being Cape Cod's only Nicklaus Design course," said Ocean Edge General Manager Robert J. Newman. "We have sold 255 of 300 available golf memberships. It's obvious our club members recognize the value of the Nicklaus name and understand the value of membership here will only grow over time."
As part of the multi-million dollar golf project at Ocean Edge, the Linx Restaurant and Clubhouse have undergone substantial renovations, featuring a members-only lounge and expanded locker room facilities. Also, this summer, Ocean Edge will offer additional function space for member and other events within their new Linx Pavilion, a 2,500-square-foot venue with views of the 18th hole.
Nicklaus Design recognized Ocean Edge Resort & Club on Cape Cod's unique setting as an asset to the reconstruction. "Ocean Edge is blessed with a great natural landscape: mature trees, rolling topography and the right elevation changes to create a parkland setting," said Chris Rule, design associate p. "In the redesign, we've maximized those features while modernizing the course. New changes include the pure bent grass, increased length overall by about 300 yards and more strategic value with bunkering and sand traps."
The revised course is part of an $18.5 million expansion at Ocean Edge comprised of 7,500 square feet of meeting space throughout the property, including the new Bayside Ballroom and renovations to the historic Mansion interior.

Reviews for Toffee Poke Cake
"This is our favorite poke cake. Other types don't have as much flavor. Caramel and chocolate go so well together and the whipped topping makes it creamy and rich!"
"This is a really rich and moist cake. I used Butterfinger bars instead of the toffee. Delicious!"
"Wow!!! Perfect for our large bible study group! Easy to make and amazingly delicious!! Hardest thing to do is forget the calories! Haha"
"I made the cake yesterday. It was good, a very easy desert to make. Great for a BBQ. I think when i make it again I'm going to add a Choc Ganache frosting instead of whip cream."
"This is a delicious cake! We brought it to a friend's house and they loved it."
"This is an easy, delicious, go to desert that my family loves. I buy the bags of chopped Heath Bars for even more ease!"
"I have made this for years except it has been called Better Than Sex Cake. We've always used a German Chocolate Cake mix and then pour a can of sweetened condensed milk and then either the butterscotch caramel, caramel or hot fudge topping over the top and into the holes. Let set either overnight or 6-8 hrs. Put whipped topping and toffee bits on the top and serve. Always a hit!"
"This is the best and easiert chocolate cake to make ever! I used a german chocolate cake mix and extra creamy cool whip. Could not find caramel-butterscotch topping so I chose caramel. Not a big fan of Heath Bars but, once they are crushed and put on cake they are a bit less likely to stick to teeth. Everyone at the party commented on how good it looked. The kids spotted it prior to dinner and surprise, surprise it was all we could do to get them to eat their meal. They wanted cake!!! I will make this over and over!"

The Hollywood Reporter says that film screenwriter Joe Eszterhas is planning a motion picture about Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Eszterhas, director of such sordid films as Basic Instinct and Showgirls, is apparently partnering with Steve McEveety's MPower Pictures to produce a film about the apparition.
Eszterhas, who is working on the script, described the project as a "labor of love."
After receiving a diagnosis of throat cancer several years ago, Eszterhas gave up his Hollywood lifestyle, moved his family to Cleveland, and returned to his Catholic roots. Eszterhas penned a book about his journey. It's titled Crossbearer: A Memoir of Faith (St. Martin's Press, 2008). Brian Craig has an online interview with Eszterhas about his journey of faith.

text: I probably could. I've flashed firmware on a number of devices - and I've installed software on removable memory before, too. Doesn't seem overly difficult here, but I haven't tried, so idk for sure. My thought process for asking about a pre-packaged solution is: - Building one of these isn't on my "Things I really want to get done this quarter" list - I freelance for a private school, and I could see this being a large benefit - I absolutely don't want to tell them about it and end up having to "bake" one of these for each of dozens of classroom myself - I think offering a prepackaged solution could be a very profitable solution for Mr. Griffey - When open source software leads to profit for the software makers, more open source software continues to get created and maintained, so home bakers can still get their free recipes So, I asked - in LOLCatish. IDK that I am personally willing to lay down $75 for this myself - but if I knew it was offered, and going to be offered at least for the next few months, then I would be far more willing to move forward with sharing the knowledge. Perhaps seeing if the school wanted to buy one to try out. I personally have no immediate or easily foreseeable need for one, other than demoing it for the school. I do think it is a very cool project, and hope to see it flourish. Hence, my request. *- Chad W.

Rivers in the state of Arkansas, among the many that feed the mighty Mississippi River, are also overflowing their banks at record levels.
The flood waters have poured into both homes and churches. Despite their losses, the faith of many residents remains strong.
The Elnora Freewill Baptist Church in Pocahontas, Ark., is meeting in a different building because flood waters from the Black River, nearly four feet high inside the church, have destroyed the interior.
"I'd like to fire our yard keeper because they watered the grass too much. And I'm going to fire the janitor because the church is a mess," Pastor Jerald Dean joked with his congregation who responded with laughter.
Dean has tried to encourage his congregation during this time of uncertainty and loss.
"The people just couldn't believe it. They just could not believe that the water could get that high in that area. But it did, so we're making history," Dean said.
Throughout the worship service, many church members could not hold back their tears.
Dean said the church did not have flood insurance and it will be long time before the congregation can get back to normal.
"I didn't know what we were going to do," he explained. "It's just devastating to this congregation. I mean, they were so proud of that building."
Despite the devastation, church members continue to sing praises to God.
In Des Arc, Ark., the White River is the ominous one, reportedly cresting at the highest level in recorded history.
The city's Gospel Mission Church has fed and housed around 1,000 people.
"If it hadn't been for our church, we wouldn't know what to do right now," resident Stacy Cobb said. "Our son is six and he doesn't understand. He asked to go home the other day."
"So that was sort of hard because I had to try to explain to him we can't go home because flood water is so bad," she said.
The Cobb's house is about a half-mile from the White River and they don't have flood insurance.
In the city, even the shelter volunteers have been displaced from their homes.
"I can't get to it unless I go by boat," explained Beverly McIntosh, the city shelter director.
Yet, Des Arc residents and in nearby Pocahontas refuse to give up hope.
"The Lord's going to take care of us and we're going to be better than before. We believe that," Pastor Dean said.

Radio revenues are pacing up 6% in the current quarter. Publishing revenues are pacing up at a double digit percentage! And we are close to UNLEASHING the hoopla and sex appeal (and concrete revenue and profit possibilities) of NextRadio.
The entire sense is that there has been a "sea change" for the entire radio business. They specifically and emphaticallly referenced that they are looking at a common dividend and/or stock buyback, when the leverage gets below 2.5x.
I've reevaluated my whole view of this stock, and now view $3-4 as possible, within the next 12 months, and quite possibly, even by the end of this calendar year.
This company has been REMADE....and the Street hasn't fully factored that in yet. (The only real negative is the unresolved pfd stock litigation.)
The company has $66 million in NOL's, and won't be paying any significant taxes for YEARS.
I'm holding firm, with my 2% ownership position.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Pooch poo prints
On July 18 someone broke into a residence in Field View on Comiskey Park Circle in Summerville. The victim told Summerville Police that while he was asleep someone came into the house and stole a remote control, black woofer speaker and two purses. He told police the house was locked and alarm set when he went to bed.
He said he heard the dogs bark in the middle of the night then stop. He went into the living room and looked around and saw nothing so went back to bed. One of the dogs had gone to the bathroom in the living room and whoever had been in the house had stepped in it and tracked it through the house. Police found that someone had gained entry through a small, unlocked window in the rear. Police found dog feces on the windowsill.

■ Myself: I hate to brag, well, I will brag. I finally kept a New Year's resolution and did not eat one french fry in 2011.
Thumbs Down
■ ESPN I: Are you kidding? A camera drops on the field during a bowl game? Several of your on-field microphones have cut out during postgame bowl interviews? Inexcusable.
■ ESPN II: I've said it before but it's worth repeating: Monday's national title game between LSU-Alabama should be aired on "regular TV" and not exclusively on ESPN. I'm afraid this trend will continue into the NFL some day and we only see NFL games on the NFL network and ESPN.

Ellis Island museum reopen 'not likely' in 2013
NEW YORK -- The Ellis Island Immigration Museum, which sustained severe damage to its infrastructure from the surging waters of Superstorm Sandy, is not expected to reopen to the public this year, the National Park Service said.
The Oct. 29 storm brought water levels as high as 8 feet to Ellis Island, adjacent to the home of the Statue of Liberty, destroying boilers and electrical systems.
The museum "is under repair from storm damage and will not likely be open in 2013," the park service said Friday, as it announced that security screening for visitors to the Statue of Liberty would be moving to temporary facilities on Ellis Island.
Spokeswoman Linda Friar said Sunday that the site was still without power, which was continuing to have a negative impact on the physical condition of the building.

Bloodsport is a 1988 American martial arts film directed by Newt Arnold, and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Donald Gibb, Leah Ayres, and Bolo Yeung. The film is partly based on unverified claims made by martial artist Frank Dux.[3][4][5] It sold well at the box office, grossing $11,806,119 domestically on a budget of $1,500,000. Bloodsport was one of Van Damme's first starring films and showcased his athletic abilities. It has since become a cult film.[6]
U.S. Army Captain Frank Dux (pronounced "Dukes"), trained from his youth in the ways of ninjutsu by Senzo Tanaka, honors his mentor by taking the place of Tanaka's deceased son Shingo in the illegal Kumite martial-arts tournament. During his childhood, Dux and a group of friends invaded Tanaka's home to steal a katana, but Dux was apprehended by Senzo and Shingo while attempting to return the katana to its display rack. Impressed by Dux's honesty and lack of fear, Senzo had him train with Shingo in martial science. Following Shingo's death, Senzo agreed to train Dux as a member of the Tanaka clan. When Dux's superiors learn of his invitation to the Kumite, they refuse to let him go; in return, he goes absent without a leave, says goodbye to his mentor and leaves for Hong Kong. Two Criminal Investigation Command (CID) officers, Helmer and Rawlins, are summoned to track down and arrest Dux for desertion.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Dux befriends American fighter Ray Jackson and Victor Lin, who becomes the manager/liaison for Jackson and Dux. The two Americans and the defending Kumite champion Chong Li—a fighter with a savage streak—all make it through the first day of the Kumite. Dux earns the enmity of Li after breaking his record for the fastest knockout. Dux becomes involved with American journalist Janice Kent, who is attempting to investigate the Kumite, but is shocked by its violence. On the second day of the tournament, Jackson is matched against Li. Although Jackson gains the upper hand, he gloats instead of finishing Li, who violently beats him, putting him in the hospital. Dux vows that he will avenge Jackson. Kent tries to convince Dux to pull out of the tournament, but he refuses.
On the last day of the competition, Dux is cornered by Helmer and Rawlins. After defeating the local police, he promises to give himself up once the tournament is over. Dux advances to the tournament final to face Li, who has alienated the audience by killing his previous opponent remorselessly. Dux is a formidable foe, so Li resorts to blinding him with a crushed salt pill. Dux uses his other senses (as Senzo had taught him) to overcome the handicap and force Li to shout "matté" (a cry of surrender), becoming the first Western winner of the Kumite. He then returns to the United States with the CID officers.

Co-writer Sheldon Lettich came up the idea for the film.
I had known Frank Dux for a number of months before I came up with the idea for Bloodsport. Frank told me a lot of tall tales, most of which turned out to be bullshit. But his stories about participating in this so-called "Kumite" event sounded like a great idea for a movie. There was one guy who he introduced me to, named Richard Bender, who claimed to have actually been at the Kumite event and who swore everything Frank told me was true. A few years later this guy had a falling-out with Frank, and confessed to me that everything he told me about the Kumite was a lie; Frank had coached him in what to say.[7]
Producer Mark Di Salle said he was looking for "a new martial arts star who was a ladies man", but Van Damme appeals to both genders.[2] The movie is one of the few films featuring scenes filmed inside Kowloon Walled City before its destruction.[8]
Bloodsport's soundtrack score was composed by Paul Hertzog, who also composed another Jean-Claude Van Damme film titled Kickboxer. The soundtrack contains the songs "Fight to Survive" and "On My Own", both performed by Stan Bush. Bush's songs are replaced on the soundtrack with alternate versions sung by Paul Delph, who was nominated for a Grammy for this work. The film plays the song "Steal the Night" by Michael Bishop during a scene where Dux runs from Helmer and Rawlins. The song was not released until the mid-2000s, as a single containing a vocal and instrumental version. On June 26, 2007, Perseverance Records released a limited edition CD of the soundtrack including, for the first time, the original film versions of the Stan Bush songs.
The Los Angeles Times reports a U.S. box office gross of $11.7 million.[9] The Chicago Tribune stated it cost $2 million, made $15 million in the U.S. and Canada, and grossed $50 million elsewhere. It also sold 150,000 videocassette units, making it Cannon's most profitable film of the year.[2]
Warner Brothers released a DVD of the film in the United States on October 1, 2002.[10]
Critical reception[edit]
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that the film received positive reviews from 33% of the 18 surveyed critics; the average rating was 4.3 out of 10.[11] Leonard Klady of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Hacking through the jungle of cliche and reservoir of bad acting in Bloodsport [...] are some pretty exciting matches."[12]
Van Damme was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst New Star, but lost out to Ronald McDonald in Mac and Me.[13]
Bloodsport was followed by three sequels: Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite (1996), Bloodsport III (1997) and Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite (1999). They were released direct-to-video, and Jean-Claude Van Damme did not appear in them.
A remake of Bloodsport is planned. Phillip Noyce was attached to direct a screenplay by Robert Mark Kamen. Screen Daily explains, "The story will follow an American who goes to Brazil to recover from the violence he has experienced in Afghanistan who gets involved in a martial arts contest."[14] On July 24, 2013, Relativity Media announced that they will make the reboot with James McTeigue directing and will be shot in Australia and Brazil.[15]
An all-female remake of Bloodsport titled Lady Bloodfight (originally Lady Bloodsport) is set to be released in 2016 from producer Bey Logan and directed by Chris Nahon with action choreography by Hung Yan Yan.[16] Originally set to star Jet Tranter and Selina Lo,[17] the film now stars martial artist/stuntwoman Amy Johnston, Kathy Wu, Jet Tranter, Mayling Ng and Jenny Wu. The story follows "a beautiful but troubled American girl" named Jane (Johnston) backpacking through Japan who is recruited and trained to fight in a vicious, all-female, underground martial arts tournament known as "The Kumite". Principal photography began in September 2014 and shot in locations such as China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Album Review
The internal dissension that was already eating away at
Buffalo Springfield
's dynamic on their second album came home to roost on their third and final effort,
Last Time Around
. This was in some sense a
Buffalo Springfield
album in name but not in spirit, as the songwriters sometimes did not even play on cuts written by other members of the band.
Neil Young
's relatively slight contribution was a particularly tough blow. He wrote only two of the songs (though he did help
Richie Furay
write "It's So Hard to Wait"), both of which were outstanding: the plaintive "I Am a Child" and the bittersweet "On the Way Home" (sung by

Stephen Stills
' material in particular was not as strong as it had been on the first two LPs, though the lovely Latin-flavored "Pretty Girl Why," with its gorgeous guitar work, is one of the group's best songs.
was developing into a quality songwriter with the orchestrated "The Hour of Not Quite Rain" and his best
contribution, the beautiful ballad "Kind Woman," which became one of the first country-rock standards. But it was a case of not enough, too late, not only for

Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre
The Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre (Московский Академический Музыкальный Театр имени народных артистов К. С. Станиславского и В. И. Немировича-Данченко) is a musical theatre in Moscow.
The theatre was created on 1 September 1941 when the Stanislavski Opera Theatre and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko's musical theatre were merged. Although Constantin Stanislavski and Nemirovich worked together at the Moscow Art Theatre (which they had established in 1898), their musical companies operated independently for the two decades of the Interwar period. The present-day theatre is based in its own building with one opera and two chamber music halls in Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street, near Pushkin Square. The program traditionally includes opera and ballet by Prokofiev, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, Verdi and other classical composers.
Stanislavski's Opera Studio[edit]
In 1918 Stanislavski founded an Opera Studio under the auspices of the Bolshoi Theatre, though it later severed its connection with the theatre.[1] Its successful production of Werther in 1923 was banned while the director was abroad.[2] In 1924 it was renamed the "Stanislavski Opera Studio" and in 1926 it became the "Stanislavski Opera Studio-Theatre", when it moved into its own permanent base at the Dmitrovsky Theatre. In 1928 it became the Stanislavski Opera Theatre. Shortly before his death in 1938 Stanislavski invited Vsevolod Meyerhold to take over the direction of the company; Meyerhold led the theatre up to his own arrest in June 1939.[3]
Conductors : include Mikhail Zhukov 1922-32, 1935–38, current (2011) is Felix Korobov.
Nemirovich-Danchenko musical theatre[edit]
Nemirovich had participated in the Bolshoi's production of The Snow Maiden but soon left for independent work. Nemirovich leaned towards popular operetta and vaudeville. At the end of 1920 he started production of Lecocq's La fille de Madame Angot, causing an uproar of the "serious drama" core of Moscow Art Theatre company. The show premiered in May 1920, starring Valeria Barsova and guests singers from Poland and Bolshoi company, and became a sell-out hit. A number of successful shows followed until 1925, when the company left for a long tour of Europe and the United States. Nemirovich took up an American offer and stayed in Hollywood until September 1927;[4] a substantial part of his company refused to return to Soviet Russia; the company itself disintegrated.[3]
When Nemirovich returned to the USSR in 1926, he had to start from scratch. For years, his operetta studio did not have a permanent base and orchestra, borrowing both from Stanislavski's theatre in Bolshaya Dmitrovka Street. The company produced primarily musical comedy shows but also the "serious" opera - Traviata and Katerina Izmailova, both in 1934; Katerina Izmailova was banned in 1935 and resumed in 1962.
War and merger[edit]
In June 1941 Nemirovich's company performed on a tour in Murmansk and nearby military bases. Immediately upon the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa it returned to Moscow; the shows resumed on 10 August. Stanislavski's company returned to Moscow from Yaroslavl. On 1 September 1941 the companies, reduced in number, were merged to become the "Moscow State Musical Theatre of Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko." Nemirovich was appointed its artistic director. Keen on overcoming the limitations of the opera genre, he defended the title of a musical theatre. In September 1941 part of the company was evacuated first to Nalchik, then to Tbilisi and finally Ashabad; Nemirovich with the core of his company stayed in Moscow, performing for the troops. His Moscow company was the only Moscow theatre performing in the disastrous October–November 1941.[5]
Nemirovich, after a short evacuation to Tbilisi, returned to Moscow in September 1942; he died in April 1943. After his death the theatre was managed by Joseph Tumanishvili (stage direction) and Samuil Samosud (musical department). Over four years of the war the company, split in small groups, performed 770 shows for the front-line troops. Two of its staff were killed in action and one group of artists was taken prisoners of war.[5]
Post-war period[edit]
After the war the theatre, directed by Samosud (and later Dmitri Kitajenko and Lev Mikhailov), continued operation as a primarily classical opera house; it retained some successful vaudevilles produced in 1930s, but their share was gradually reduced. In 1960s–1980s the theatre regularly collaborated with Komische Oper Berlin, inviting Walter Felsenstein and Dieter Mueller to produce musicals in Moscow.
In 1976 Pravda launched an unforgiving attack against the "revised" version of Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades. The show was salvaged through support of artistic circles.[5]
In 1989 the theatre suffered its first disastrous fire. The main hall was not damaged, but the fire destroyed the props storage; 20 titles were canceled for years. In December 1990 the company refused to perform in a strike action against the management. The city of Moscow shut down the theatre for two weeks; in January 1991 it reopened under the same management. In July 1991 the orchestra and the choir resigned with their conductors, taking some of the opera soloists with them, finally prompting a replacement of the management.[5]
The theatre, surviving a second fire in 2005, is currently managed by Vladimir Urin (general director), Alexander Titel (artistic director of opera), Felix Korobov (chief conductor), Igor Zelensky (artistic director of ballet) and Vladimir Arefiev (chief stage designer).
The company's repertoire since 2005 has included:
- Operas - including: Betrothal in a Monastery, a burlesque double-bill Cafe "Socrate" featuring Erik Satie's Socrate and Darius Milhaud's Le pauvre matelot,[6] Bizet's Carmen, Così fan tutte, The Demon, Die Fledermaus, Eugene Onegin Vladimir Kobekin's comic opera Hamlet (Prince of Denmark)(Russian) Comedy (2008), Il Barbiere di Siviglia, La Bohème, La forza del destino, La traviata, Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Lucia di Lammermoor, Madama Butterfly, May Night, Moscow, Cheryomushki, Pelléas et Mélisande, Pique Dame, The Tale of Tsar Saltan, Tosca and Werther.
- Ballet - Traditional Russian repertoire and experimental works such as John Neumeier's water ballet The Little Mermaid.[7]
The building[edit]
The theatre stands on the site of Count Pyotr Saltykov's estate. Parts of the ground floor of Saltykov's house survived the fire of 1812 and subsequent expansions and are now integrated in the theatre lobby and the small concert hall. In 1839 Praskovya Saltykova leased the building to Moscow Merchant Society. The Club regularly invited notable musicians; in 1843 it presented concerts by Franz Liszt. Liszt had to play two grand pianos, one by one, so that each quest in a crowded hall could see his face and hands; the audience rewarded Liszt with a three-meter sturgeon and a gypsy choir show. Moscow legend asserts that Liszt's affection to gypsy art stemmed from the Moscow shows of 1843.[8]
In the middle of 19th century the Saltykovs sold the building to Bakhrushin family. The Bakhrushins continued leasing the building to the Merchants' Club until 1908, when the tenants relocated to a the new building three blocks away. Then the owners leased the building to short-lived theatres, cabarets and a casino, until in 1913 they struck a deal with fashionable impresario Friedrich Thomas. Bakhrushins commissioned Karl Gippius to build a large concert hall adjacent to Saltykov's mansion; Thomas came in to manage Maxim's Moscow. The new venue was a hit among the wealthy patrons; quest stars ranged from opera singers to Inayat Khan, the founder of Universal Sufism.[8]
After the 1917 revolution the building, now known as Dmitrovsky Theatre was shared by different theater companies. Stanislavsky moved in the main hall of Dmitrovsky theatre in 1926. Nemirovich theater did not have a permanent base; it shared the stage and training areas with Stanislavsky theatre. In 1938–1939 the whole compound was rebuilt to its current shape; the stalinist facade hides original structures of Saltykov's ballroom and the 1913 cabaret hall.[8]
In 1937 the theatre acquired the bells of the demolished Strastnoy convent, used as stage props; in 1990s they were donated to the church in Arbat District.
In May 2005, when the theatre was evacuated and closed for a scheduled renovation, the main stage was destroyed by an accidental fire; the load-bearing structures and smaller concert halls survived. The company moved to Bolshoi theatre and later moved out of country for a long overseas tour. The small stage was reopened in February 2006, the main stage in September 2006.[9]

A discussion of meristems (apical meristems, vascular cambium, cork cambium, intercalary meristems) and nonmeristematic tissues (parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, secretory tissues, epidermis, xylem, phloem, periderm) forms the body of this chapter.
Characteristics of Meristematic Cells:
Small, box-like cells, Large nucleus, Small vacuoles or none at all, Dense cytoplasm
Three subdivisions of the apical meristem called primary meristems: produce primary tissues
Protoderm, Ground meristem, Procambium
Vascular Cambium
Located between xylem and phloem of herbaceous and woody plantsv (Responsible for production of tissues that increase the girth (circumference) of a plant)
Intercalary Meristems
Found in many plants which do not have a vascular cambium (e.g., grasses) Produce increases in the length of stems and/or leaves
Composed of parenchyma
cells. Tend to have large vacuoles and many contain various secretions.
Secretory Cells and Tissue
Secretory cells may function individually or as part of a secretory tissue. (flower nectar, Citrus oils, Latex etc.)
Some parts of cork cambium form
loosely arranged pockets of parenchyma
cells that protrude through the surface of the periderm.
Contain living cytoplasm and may live an extended time. (Provide flexible support for organs)

Marques Tuiasosopo
by Russ Paris
Starting quarterback for the UW Huskies last Saturday against Utah State was Marques Tuiasosopo.
Just as he did for three years at Woodinville High, he handed off, optioned, ran and passed. His stats included 11 of 21 for 194 passing yards and one TD. He also ran five times for a total of 34 yards and two touchdowns on runs of nine and two yards.
Led by Tuiasosopo, the Huskies scored a season high 53 points and gained 350 yards.
After a shakey beginning Tuiasosopo and the Huskies were able to mix the run and pass to keep the Aggies on their heels all day.

There will be a Levy County Candidate Forum on Saturday, July 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Williston Community Center at 50 N.W. Main St., Williston. The primary election on Aug. 30 for county offices will be a universal primary open to all voters regardless of party registration and will serve as a "general election" for offices where all the candidates are of one party.

Amid a statewide decline in school grades under new testing measures, the Levy County school district fell from a "B" to a "C" in this year's preliminary district grades, released Friday by the Florida Department of Education.
The district missed a "B" by two percentage points.
The city's financial officer gave his report on the first half of the year, ending in April, and things are looking rosy.
Financial Officer Steve Bloom presented the report to the City Council at its Tuesday, July 5, meeting noting that by the end of April the city was 58.3 percent of the way through the fiscal year that started Oct. 1, 2015.
Some of Bloom's highlights:
The Levy County Commission is not happy with the state's plans to relieve pressure on I-75, which runs through Alachua County to the east by possibly putting a high-speed, toll road that would go up the east side of Levy County – and they are putting their distress in writing.
Allison and Jeremy Owens of Royston, Ga. announce the birth of their first child, a daughter, Piper Rae, born at 1:45 p.m. June 27, 2016 at St. Mary's Hospital in Athens, Ga.
The baby weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 19.5 inches long.
Maternal grandparents are Carolyn (Tom) Ten Broeck of Williston and Bill Risner of Canon, Ga.
Paternal grandparents are the late Jerry and Diane Owens of Elberton, Ga.
Levy County property owners can expect that the non-ad valorem assessments for ambulance, fire, the landfill and road services will remain the same in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
That's because the Levy County Commission, on Tuesday, tentatively gave unanimously approv- al to keeping the assessments at the same level as last year. The final vote will be done following a public hearing scheduled for Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. at the county courthouse in Bronson.
I'm tired. Plain and simple, I'm tired, perhaps even bordering on exhausted. As I write this, I'm sitting at my daughter's dining room table while the lull of the ceiling fan drones in my ear. My grandpup, Iago, is among the lucky – he's catching a nap on the back of the sofa.
By Lou Elliott Jones
When qualifying for public office closed on Friday, June 24 at noon, most Levy County constitutional offers, one state senator and three candidates for school board heaved a sigh of relief as they drew no opposition.

Philadelphia audiences know rapper Meek Mill.
Local hip-hop heads dig the North Philly native, 25, for his 14 self-made and -distributed mix tapes, to say nothing of his two most recent tapes for Maybach Music, MC/producer Rick Ross' label through Warner Bros.
Area rap fans have seen Mill open for or appear with Drake, Diddy, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj. They've heard Mill do his street-oriented soliloquies on local radio stations.
With mix-tape success behind and a golden future ahead, Mill is growing for the better. "I'm rapping harder because I've seen more of the world," Mill says. "I've seen more situations."

Strauss: We've raised the bar
Follow the Investec Test series on ecb.co.uk - click here for all the latest news, exclusive interviews, video highlights and match reports
Captain Andrew Strauss believes England have become victims of their own success as they continue on their mission to be the best team in the world.
The manner of their Ashes triumph in Australia over the winter – all three Test wins came by an innings – prompted Strauss and his players to turn their attention towards life at the top of the International Cricket Council rankings.
The drawn second npower Test against Sri Lanka forced a slight rethink, if not from Strauss then from the more impatient supporters and pundits.
The outcome at Lord's means England can no longer reach the summit this summer – an unlikely prospect given they had to win all seven Tests and hope other results went their way – while their performance drew criticism that could be described as overly strident.
Strauss is candid enough to admit England's bowlers, in particular, struggled last week, but he chose the eve of the final Test of the series at the Rose Bowl to point out that his charges are now being measured by a different yardstick.
"The fact that our bowling performance was a little bit down at Lord's is more a reflection on how good it's been over the last 18 months," said Strauss.
"We've come to expect bowlers to run in and put it on the spot consistently every time they bowl.
"We're not happy with what we did at Lord's. We need to improve on it, but we need to be pragmatic about these things.
"You're not going to play the perfect Test match every time – it's unrealistic to expect that – but we still should be aiming for the perfect Test match every time we play."
With the drive for perfectionism comes a healthy dose of realism, and Strauss, a man for whom many of his greatest successes have come later in his career, warned against expecting too much, too soon.
"Those goals (to become number one) are long-term goals, and you can be in too much of a rush to achieve them," he stressed.
Like his bowlers at Lord's, Strauss' form with the bat this series has been disappointing: just 24 runs from three innings.
Although alone among England's top seven in failing to pass 50, the fact he has scored a solitary Test century since the 2009 Ashes appears of little concern.
"That's the nature of the beast as an opening batsman – sometimes you get good balls early," he said.
"But I'm very comfortable with my own game and I'm very comfortable with us as a batting unit – six out of seven were in fantastic fettle in the first two matches. Now it's my turn.
"You are never going to have all seven batsmen firing at the same time – it's unrealistic to expect that.
"There is always pressure on you to score runs. You've got to do everything you can and ride the blows. I'm feeling, psychologically, in a very good place and it's just a matter of not getting too caught up in things."
Just as with England's long-term ambitions, patience may prove a valuable asset at the Rose Bowl, which will tomorrow become the 10th ground in England and Wales – and the 105th in the world – to host a Test.
With the exception of that famously crazy hour at Cardiff, bowlers from both sides have received minimal assistance from the pitch in the first two Tests – all four first-innings totals have breached 400 – and there has been little evidence during practice this week to suggest the surface here will be much different.
"It's pretty similar to the wickets I remember," Chris Tremlett, who spent the best part of decade at the Rose Bowl before joining Surrey last year, told ecb.co.uk, albeit on a day when the square was kept under cover for large parts of the afternoon due to rain.
"The wicket has got a tinge of green, so it might give it that bit more carry for us tall guys, but I'm expecting a normal Rose Bowl wicket. It can be quite slow and generally it's pretty hard work."
The ground has hosted 12 one-day internationals – four of which have involved England – and two Twenty20 internationals since it was built, with considerable financial assistance from Hampshire chairman Rod Bransgrove, in 2001.
Strauss is a fan of the venue – a view echoed by Sri Lanka stand-in skipper Kumar Sangakkara – even if their relative lack of experience here will level the playing field somewhat as Sri Lanka chase the victory that will earn them a share of the series.
"The practice facilities here are outstanding," said Strauss. "They've put a lot of time and effort into making sure this ground is up to Test standard, and I think it is.
"But we don't know how the wicket's going to play and we're going to have to react well.
"Both sets of players are going to have to adapt to conditions. We're not entirely sure how they're going to be, so in one sense that home advantage of knowing the wicket very well is slightly negated here."

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
A set of sugars found on some disease-causing pathogens helps those pathogens fight the body's natural defenses as well as vaccines, say two Iowa State University researchers. The findings are published in the current online issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Nicola Pohl, Ph.D., professor of chemistry, and Christine Petersen, Ph.D., assistant professor of veterinary pathology, began studying persistent pathogens such as tuberculosis and the parasite Leishmania five years ago when they noticed that some types of the parasite can make people sick while others do not.
"One of the things I was curious about was that pathogenic strains of Leishmania have a different sugar coating on them than nonpathogenic strains," Dr. Pohl remarks. Their aim was to find out whether just the sugar coating is enough to make something pathogenic or nonpathogenic.
Normally, when a disease-causing agent enters the body, cells called macrophages engulf and start to destroy the agent. Leishmania-type diseases are resistant to this process.
To test the theory on the resistance effect of the sugar coating, Drs. Pohl and Petersen developed an experiment that required creating small beads measuring one micron in diameter to mimic the pathogens. One group of beads was then coated with a type of sugar that is similar to that of Leishmania. Another set of beads was coated with a lactose-type sugar that isn't harmful to the cell. A third had no coating.
The beads were then introduced into macrophages. The cells noticed the uncoated beads and started an immune response, as they should. When the lactose-covered beads were introduced, they were also recognized and removed. When the Leishmania-sugar covered beads were introduced, the macrophages took a much longer time to recognize their presence. Then, the immune defense system slowed down or dampened the attacks.
This dampening, Drs. Petersen and Pohl showed, is due to an interaction between the sugar on the bead and toll-like receptor 2 within the macrophage. "There is something inherent about the sugars themselves and the difference in these sugars that dampens your normal response to the pathogen," explains Dr. Pohl.

but not before a rain of near-Biblical proportions. In 17 years, I can't ever remember it raining quite that hard for that long. Now, the aftermath: the field is a sodden mess, the ball is wet and there are virtual lakes behind both teams' sideline.
Meanwhile, the Panthers -- down 10-5 at halftime -- caught a break midway through the third quarter when Jacksonville punter Matt Turk fumbled a good snap and was tackled on the Jaguar 38.
Carolina again failed to get in the end zone, but Olindo Mare hit a 32-yard field goal in the bad conditions and so now Carolina trails, 10-8, with 2:24 left in the third quarter.

I'll cut the introduction and go straight to the point. There is not one player who is as influential to his team as Ronaldinho is to Milan. Now, I do not want to get into the whole "who is the best player" alive debate because it has already been settled by Giuseppe Favalli.
Ronaldinho is one of those legends that your grandchildren will be asking about, and you can smile at them and say you had the privilege of watching them grace the pitch every week for several years.
I've coined a new nickname for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Call him the cobra. In true serpentine fashion, he strikes unexpectedly and proceeds to retreat back into oblivion. The more I see him play, the more he reminds me of poor-man's David Trezeguet: a tall, lanky player who you might not even notice is on the pitch until he scores.
Due to another Borriello injury, sources claim that the Dutch striker will indeed be our target man against Manchester United. Now the most important question is: will the venomous Cobra strike? Or will he slither around the pitch unnoticed for 90 minutes?
A win against Siena. A loss against Inter. A tie against Livorno. Does this sequence seem oddly familiar to anyone? If you nodded, it isn't because you hallucinated this event - it is the exact way we started off last year.
The excruciating pain has not fully subsided from the traumatizing derby defeat, which led to the lackadaisical display put on against Udinese in the Coppa Italia. The mental blow from the derby was astonishing, the fire and passion that guided the Rossoneri to a successful spell in the past few months dissipated faster than you can pronounce Salihamidzic.

The sixth-seeded Chippewas jumped out to 2-0 lead after convincing 25-16 and 25-13 victories in the first two games. Western Michigan, seeded third, clawed back in game three, but the Chippewas won the final three points for a 25-23 victory to take the match.
It's the first win in the MAC Tournament for CMU since 2009-10, when the Chippewas reached the semifinals.
Central Michigan (16-12, 8-8) avenged both regular season meetings against the Broncos (23-8, 12-4 MAC) as WMU had won both matches, 3-1.
Former Midland High standout Lindsey Dulude had 11 kills, two service aces, two solo blocks and eight digs to help lead Central Michigan to the victory. Senior Kaitlyn Schultz had 16 kills and freshman Kaitlyn McIntyre added 10 kills for CMU. Kelly Maxwell had 45 assists and Jenna Coates posted 20 digs for Central Michigan.
Central Michigan plays the winner of No. 2 Ohio/No. 7 Miami at 5 p.m. Saturday in the MAC Tournament semifinals.

In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg, egg yolks and vanilla until well-combined.
In another bowl, stir together flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly. Do not refrigerate dough.
Pinch off 1-inch balls of dough and roll each into a 6-inch-long strand. Form each strand into a pretzel shape on greased baking sheets, spacing the pretzels about an inch apart.
Using a pastry brush, brush the cookies with egg white; sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Transfer to racks, let cool completely.
Store in airtight container. Makes about 4 dozen.
