Project Brief
Integrated Biosensors for Diagnostic Development
Develop a Sensor System on Panel (SSOP) that tests for many different biological markers in a single assay, to enable revolutionary research on and the diagnosis of multifactorial conditions such as autoimmune diseases and allergies.
Sponsor: Virogenomics, Inc9020 SW Washington Square Road
Suite 450
Tigard, OR 97223
Medical diagnostic methods typically test for a single "biomarker" that indicates a possible disease state. This approach provides only limited information, because many diseases have multiple contributing factors and surrogate markers of interest, such that a single test can never provide a complete diagnosis. Autoimmune diseases, allergies, cancers, and infectious diseases can have many different causes and manifestations, and could be better diagnosed with devices that can test for many different markers in a single assay. Virogenomics has proposed developing such a device using transducers made with existing microelectronic manufacturing methods. The proposed Sensor System on Panel (SSOP) will include all the hardware and firmware required to do a complete analysis of the interaction of biological molecules and communicate the result. The SSOP will incorporate at least two types of transducers and several transducer sub-types as well as circuit elements for command and control functions. Each sensor will have many transducers, each with a specific protein attached. When a patient sample, either serum or saliva, is applied to the device, the SSOP will detect any proteins that bind to any of the proteins attached to the transducers. The device would be the size and shape of a typical USB flash drive, and could be read on a standard personal computer through a USB port. No current technology offers this level of flexibility in design, fabrication, and operation. The proposed device could revolutionize research on and the diagnosis of multifactorial conditions such as autoimmune disease and allergy, enabling earlier treatment and the development of more specific therapeutics.

Solicitor Scarlett Wilson expects to finish reviewing documentation about the death of 19-year-old Denzel Curnell and recommend the next step for investigators by next week, she said Thursday.
Wilson has started to examine what she called a "voluminous" report from the State Law Enforcement Division on the June 20 incident in which a Charleston police officer saw Curnell die of a gunshot wound outside the Bridgeview Village apartments.
A police spokesman initially said the case was being investigated as a possible suicide, but SLED's involvement in the probe has sparked suspicion among community members. City and Charleston Police Department leaders, meanwhile, have insisted that Officer Jamal Medlin did nothing wrong when he encountered Curnell that night.
The solicitor said Thursday that thoroughly reviewing SLED's report "may take a while," but that she expected to get through the file and wrap up talks with agents about how to proceed "by sometime next week."
Andy Savage, an attorney for Curnell's family, said he couldn't fault Wilson for being thorough, but he renewed his call for authorities to further explain the circumstances of the case that have made a conclusion difficult to come by.
"What's really torture for them is just being ignored," Savage said. "This is a family that's in mourning and has been left without any consolation."
Wilson has several options, such as recommending that SLED agents pursue charges, fill any holes in their probe or close their investigation. The agents would not be bound by any suggestion, she said.
A similar process plays out when officers shoot someone in self-defense, though the Charleston police in Curnell's case have said that they saw no evidence indicating that Medlin fired a gun.
"My role is to make a recommendation to SLED and to highlight issues in cases and/or make suggestions for further investigation," Wilson, who heads the 9th Circuit Solicitor's Office, said while speaking generally. "SLED makes the ultimate call as to whether to go along with my recommendations or suggestions."
Details of Curnell's death have remained elusive for his family and the public.
Wilson declined to discuss the SLED file's contents.
Citing a fear of harm to a possible future law enforcement action, the Charleston police also have denied three S.C. Freedom of Information Act requests from The Post and Courier that sought to answer some of the lingering questions. Other requests with the department and other agencies have not been answered.
Curnell, a Burke High School graduate known as "Jaba" among loved ones, had suffered depression during his time in basic training for the U.S. Army. He was discharged for that reason in December after spending some time on suicide watch at Fort Benning, Ga.
But family members said they noticed no emotional or mental turmoil in Curnell by the night he died.
His stepfather, though, noticed that a revolver he kept in his Wilson Avenue home in downtown Charleston was missing after he learned of Curnell's death.
Savage later learned that Curnell had been shot in the right side of his head - a wound that could be consistent with suicide. But family members still wondered why the left-handed Curnell would shot himself there.
The Charleston County Coroner's Office had not determined Curnell's manner of death, such as suicide, accidental or homicide.
The coroner and SLED also have refused to release further information that Savage said could temper the community's skepticism.
"Cooperation with the community is essential to prevent and prosecute crimes," he said. "But that's not a one-way street."

What Tight End on the Chiefs Current Roster Will Fans Be Raving About Come the End of the Season?By: William Bruno Not too long ago, if you were to listen to Mitch Holthus on The Kansas City Chiefs broadcast you would hear him yell "TOUCHDOWN, Kansas City Chiefs" which was quite often followed by, "TOUCHDOWN, Tony Gonzalez!!!" Since those days ...
After Charles, Who Will Stand Out On Offense In 2014?By: Nathan Shellstein Anyone who followed the Kansas City Chiefs last year understood that Jamaal Charles was the bulk of the offense. He figures to be a huge part again in 2014, but the team is hoping for a bit more help. Here is a look at the 3 be ...
By a Lifelong Chief's Fan and Current Season Ticket Holder
Hurry, hurry hurry! Step right up and you will see, the biggest circus/sideshow in NFL HISTORYYY!
Led the way by Hunt and Pioli; another win this season, you must be joking!
Tyson Jackson, third overall a fact; a failed defensive end allergic to sacks!
Matt Cassel their leader on the turf; another failed Patriot, Pioli's serf!
Haley the coach with a hat never washed; it could have been worse, Scott's first choice was Josh!
Dexter McCluster, a one-time spark; the 2 nd in '10, we coulda had Gronk!
Tony Moeaki, a fine prospect; if not for health, might have Graham's talent!
Jon Baldwin's here to spark the offense; A. Dalton taken later, Pro Bowl he's sent!
Don't worry, Rick Stanzi was drafted in vain; the coaches have zero trust in his game!
Out with the hat, in with ted bear; it worked great in Cleveland, let's mimick their flair!
Behold the wonder of the strongman Poe, if only he knew his defensive role!
'Combine heroes we will not draft', Scott Pioli must think fans are daft.
Romeo, the man who can cover two roles; with Todd's past failure, shouldn't better they known?
Stanford Routt, the invisible man; his on field coverage, find no one can!
One minute he's here, the next he's not; Carr's replacement handpicked by Scott!
And now the main event, the stars you see; oh wait they were leftovers from the last regime!
Drafted by Carl and Herm Edwards; Pioli's not happy 'til it's his accord!
Berry and Houston, mighty fine picks; the rest of his drafts make fans sick!
Charles' talent wasted on bad seasons; Winston's fan comments are nothing but treason!
Dwayne Bowe their most talented wide out, next year replaced by equivalent of Routt!
Colquitt, Succop, the team's MVP's! 1-7, no leads, pathetic… you agree?
The Chiefs, the joke of the NFL; listen on game day at what fans yell!
Six bucks a ticket, fans in turmoil; what are you now, the NFL Royals?
Read the banners flying high in the clouds; watch the reduction in season ticket crowds!
Early fourth quarter, fans leaving en mass; to the defense, another Cassel pass!
So come on Clark, the fans have spoken! We want action, THIS FRANCHISE IS BROKEN!!
The way this season is going, if Cassel gets out there and isn't able to get anything going…Why not give Stanzi a shot? It's pretty obvious we're going to need to draft a qb anyway, why not use this oppotunity to see what we have on the benches?
From Sam Mellinger:
"#Chiefs waived Stanford Routt to make room for Shaun Smith, Romeo references "relationship" w/ Routt not progressing. Interesting."

LAWRENCE — The interim police chief in Lawrence will get an $18,167 pay increase, but his salary will fall $11,903 short of what the previous chief was getting, the township council decided tonight.
During its first meeting of the new year, Lawrence council members introduced and unanimously approved an ordinance that establishes the 2014 salary for the township's chief of police.
In the wake of former Police Chief Daniel Posluszny's retirement at the end of last year, 49-year-old Lt. Mark Ubry was appointed acting chief effective Jan. 1, township manager Richard Krawczun said.
A final replacement will be promoted from within and chosen through a process administered by the state's Civil Service Commission, he said.
The new compensation ordinance "will be effective for the interim chief and the chief to be permanently appointed for 2014," Krawczun said.
Chief since 2002, 49-year-old Posluszny left the force after 28 years of service making $158,148 in 2013, but the ordinance sets the 2014 starting salary of police chief at $146,245, Krawczun said.
The figure is based on years of service and a differential requirement that says the chief must be paid 12 percent higher than the highest paid official below him, he said.
Ubry, who's served on the force for more than 25 years, made $128,078 at the end of 2013, according to Krawczun.
Krawczun said it could take a couple of months before a permanent chief is appointed.
In honor of his service to the community, Posluszny, a Lawrence resident his entire life, will be presented with a plaque by officials at Rider University prior to its home basketball game against Saint Peter's on Jan. 16 at 7 p.m.
Posluszny now teaches classes in homeland security, criminal profiling, police and society, and victimology at Rutgers and Farleigh Dickinson universities.

It began with meetings at a Tupelo church and walking and led to finishing a marathon in Jackson over the course of 40 weeks. For the 18 people of the Tupelo Marathon Makeover Team, it was a journey many never thought they could complete, and now they can't imagine a different course.
"Finishing the marathon was a great sense of accomplishment for me," said Tupelo resident Chuck McIntosh. "It was something at 56 that I wanted to see if I could accomplish. I set out to do it in January and it was very fulfilling. I had seen how much my dad benefited from running after he turned 40 and I wanted to get off the couch and do the same thing. Our coaches Bryan (Miller) and Nathan (Hall) had us ready and prepared."
Marathon Makeover is a 40-week, marathon-training, wellness program and, under the leadership of Mark and Robin Simpson, is starting its eighth year of helping ordinary people do the extraordinary by training and finishing a marathon or half marathon. The program has chapters all across Mississippi and people can find out more about it at the website – marathonmakeover.com.
Miller and Hall directed the first year of the course in Tupelo that started on Jan. 15 with 72 participants and ended with 18 full marathon finishers and 13 half-marathon finishers.
All the finishers were special and some earned some special times, too. Janet Starbuck was the Female Masters third place winner, Angie Moore finished second in her age division 35-39 and Laura Russell was third place in her age division of 50-54. Judy Woods won her age group of 60-64 in the half marathon.
"Words can't describe how much pride you felt to see these people who decided to make a change finish," Miller said. "The people in Marathon Makeover Team Tupelo worked so hard. To be a part of people starting to believe they could do this has been priceless. It was a great thing to be a part of and we can't wait until next year."
Next year's sign up starts now. The cost will be $275 during the month of Novermber, then goes to $299 in December. Enter the code word "Tupelo" when signing up on the marathonmakeover.com website to get the discount.
Jon David Naugher, 58, of Pontotoc and others who completed last year's program will be back to pass forward some of the things they learned the first go around.
The first 10 weeks participants start by walking and build up to running. They ran a 5K, 10K, half-marathon and then a full marathon.
"Sticking with the program you could really start to feel a difference," Naugher said. "Nathan and Bryan put a lot of time in with us and had us ready."
Miller is excited about year two of Marathon Makeover starting in January.
"Anyone can do it," Miller said. "Just stick with the program and keep working and you can be a Marathoner. It will change your life along the way."

New York insurance regulators have fined the parent of BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York $700,000 for failing to provide complete "explanation of benefits" statements in some cases that lay out consumer rights and benefits or tell members how to appeal claims denials.
The state Department of Financial Services imposed the penalty on Buffalo-based HealthNow New York for about 164,000 instances of failing to provide the complete benefits statements that are required under state law. Those instances involve claims that were denied in part or in full because the insured or subscriber had been "terminated" and for certain out-of-network claims. The benefits documents describe the services that are covered by the health plan and how consumers can appeal decisions.
"Consumers have a right to know what their health plans cover, what the plans don't cover, and what they can do when their claims have been denied improperly," said Superintendent of Financial Services Benjamin Lawsky. "This fine reflects the serious and systematic nature of the practices uncovered by the department. We are however, encouraged by Healthnow's commitment to addressing the Department's findings and improving its performance going forward."
The insurer was also cited for recordkeeping failures and improper notifications to the state regarding its insurance agents and producers over a five-year period, in violation of state regulations.
Besides the fine, HealthNow agreed to take steps to prevent such violations from occurring again, including revising procedures about issuing explanation of benefits statements and making the required filings about its agents.
The agreement that HealthNow signed with the state specifically states that the violations were "not the result of any conscious company policy to evade the requirements of insurance law."
"It basically has to do with record-keeping," said HealthNow spokesman Julie Snyder. "Since that time, we have gotten all of our recordkeeping practices in better order... We're hopeful that this fine will be placed in the proper context."
Snyder said the state issues regulations and modifications almost every month, making it difficult to keep up with the changes despite having "people on the legal staff that all they do is assure compliance." But officials now have a better understanding of "what the law specified, as it was written," and the company has corrected the problems, she said.
The state's action followed completion of a five-year audit that regulators perform every three years. That triennial audit, which covered the period from Jan. 1, 2004 through Dec. 31, 2008, included a "market conduct report" that cited the violations.
The report cited a failure by the company to meet certain provisions of state law governing recordkeeping for its brokers and agents. In particular, HealthNow failed to file certificates of appointment for insurance agents and notices of appointment of insurance producers within 15 days of the signing of an insurance agency contract or the submission of the first policy application. It also failed to ensure that commissions were paid only to licensed producers. And it failed to notify the state when insurance agents' contracts were terminated.
Additionally, the company did not provide written acknowledgements of grievances within 15 business days, as required by law.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - An FBI photograph seems to discredit claims that flashes of light filmed during the 1993 assault on the Branch Davidian compound were gunfire from government agents, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday.
The Post-Dispatch said the surveillance photo appears to have been snapped within seconds of the time when a flash appears on a separate infrared tape at 11:24 a.m. on April 19, 1993.
The Branch Davidians and their experts claim flashes on the infrared film are muzzle flashes from FBI agents' guns. But the surveillance photo shows nobody in the vicinity of the flashes.
It is part of a batch of photos the government recently turned over to John C. Danforth and U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith.
Smith is presiding over a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Branch Davidian survivors. Danforth was appointed last year to investigate whether the FBI tried to cover up its actions at the group's compound near Waco, Texas.
The FBI has admitted it fired incendiary tear-gas canisters into the compound the day a fire killed about 80 members of the group but contends that people inside started the fire and that agents did not fire weapons at the people inside.
Until recently, the infrared tape taken aboard an FBI plane flying about 9,000 feet over the compound and photographs taken aboard another plane at a lower altitude had not been compared.
The surveillance photographs were timed by the damage depicted on the infrared tape.
Michael Caddell, the lead lawyer for the Branch Davidians, said he has not yet seen the still photographs because the government has not handed them over to the plaintiffs, but he was not impressed by the comparison.
"There were a lot of times when that tank went in and out of the building," he said. "Being able to identify what time it is and whatever the precise moment when someone was firing from the rear of the tank is very suspect unless you've got a complete roll of film and you can see the entire sequence."
The Branch Davidians on Tuesday also asked the judge to sanction the government $50,000 for delaying the surrender of thousands of pages of documents related to the siege. Caddell said the government has turned over fewer than 20 boxes of documents, most of which are already public record.
With a court-imposed deadline of Jan. 15, Caddell said he fears a "last minute document dump," of hundreds of thousands of pages of materials, as plaintiffs prepare for a May 15 trial. The $50,000 would allow the plaintiffs to hire additional staff to sort through the materials, Caddell said in the motion.
In Texas, U.S. Attorney Mike Bradford said the government may request a delay but is making a "good faith effort" to produce the documents as they become available.

"Ready for a hammerhead?" asked Sergio Pla, my flight instructor.
I thought I was prepared, that my pre-flight jitters had calmed. But as we flew upside down, then jerked to the left, I floated in the cockpit, with just the seat belt holding me down. My vision started to fade as the G-forces rushed the blood from my head to my feet.
Pla told me to breathe in and out quickly — as in childbirth, even though neither he nor I have had experience in that matter.
My heart continued to pound, but I did the heavy breathing, and after the plane returned right-side-up, all went back to normal.
It didn't feel like it, but I was moving around 200 mph in a Extra 300 high-performance aerobatic aircraft, just like the planes in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship.
My editors tricked me, asking if I liked planes. "You mean 747s? Sure!" But that wasn't what they were talking about.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, I was promised a 10-minute ride-along flight Thursday, for a preview of the races coming to Liberty State Park this weekend.
|Red Bull Air Race gets ready to take over Jersey skies
This plane is not a 747. As it rose, it felt like if I reached my hand up, I could touch the clouds.
As I tilted my head to the left, I saw Manhattan. I rolled my neck to the right: Deep blue water was 30 feet below me.
Pla told me to bring my head back, and I could see the horizon. He kept asking if I was okay, and I gave him a thumbs-up sign.
I spotted the beach he mentioned pre-flight. I could see people walking on it. He had mentioned the beach in case we had to parachute out. He asked if I ever had used a parachute before. I shook my head no. He swore that today would not be my first time.
As the early morning mist lifted, the Empire State Building glistened and my flight came to an end. All I could think was, "Wow." The rush of adrenaline made the pre-flight nerves and the near-blackout worth it.
ADMISSION: There are two levels of general admission tickets: festival-style standing and grandstand. Standing-room tickets start at $30, but some areas have $55 tickets. Grandstand tickets start at $50 and will have assigned seat numbers. There are one- and two-day packages. Tickets can be purchased for about $95 for first-row seating in either grandstand. Children's discounts are also available.
High Flyer's Lounge and Race Club two-day passes, priced at $540-$1,650, offer attractions such as catering, open bars and access to VIP areas.
If spectators would like to watch from the water, a "Rocks Off Cruise Aboard the Harbor Lights" is available for $20 in advance, or $25 the day of the race, leaving from the Skyport Marina on East 23rd Street and the FDR Drive in New York.
The race cannot be seen from downtown Manhattan due to the small size of the airplanes.
TRANSPORTATION: Round-trip ferry service will be available from Manhattan's Battery Park. There is no on-site event parking at Liberty State Park for the race. If traveling by car, parking in Jersey City near a light-rail station is the easiest way. The light rail will take race ticket-holders to the event free of charge.
High Flyer's Lounge guests will have complimentary water-taxi service from Manhattan's World Financial Center to Liberty State Park.
OTHER ATTRACTIONS: The Statue of Liberty will remain open, with ferries operating on schedule. The Liberty Science Center also will remain open.
TV: Channel 5 will present a Red Bull Air Race special from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The original idea behind the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission was to spot resources and map out possible landing sites for the manned return to the Moon that was then on the planning table.
That manned Moon mission has since been scrapped, but the Moon continues to become a more and more interesting place in the decades since the Apollo program sent humans there: the LRO and its companion mission, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) have added to the growing body of evidence that water ice likely exists on the Moon, in places where future astronauts conceivably could get at it.
But if plans for the future were at the heart of the mission, one highly anticipated side benefit of LRO was the chance to look at NASA's past: The world eagerly awaited the first shots of Apollo hardware left on the Moon. And these are mesmerizing. This web site assemble by the Arizona State University School of Earth & Space Exploration offers a guided tour of all the sites using high-resolution photography from the Reconnaissance Orbiter's cameras.
And it's more than just the footprints and wheel tracks of the astronauts: LRO has also photographed the crash sites of rocket stages and early space probes that crashed into the Moon, unmanned Surveyor spacecraft (including Surveyor 3, which was later visited by the astronauts of Apollo 12), and even long-lost Russian space probes.

Obama: Clinton Would be a Very Effective President
By PTI
Published: 31st May 2014 12:23 AM
Last Updated: 31st May 2014 12:23 AM
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama says Hillary Clinton would be a very effective president if she decides to run.
Obama says in a television interview that he and Clinton are "buddies" and he's long admired her.
They fought in the long- running 2008 primary for the Democratic presidential nomination. But Obama says she couldn't have been more effective and loyal as his secretary of state.
The president says he's been blessed to have her work for him, along with Vice President Joe Biden and his chief of staff Denis McDonough.
The president's comments are in an interview taped Thursday, the same day he and Clinton had a private lunch at the White House. His interview was broadcast Friday on the talk show "Live! With Kelly and Michael."

Is Samba the PDC ? and are the workstations full members of the domain ?
domain master = Yes
domain logons = Yes
If you are running it as just a WORKGROUP, then each workstation is managing
it's own logons. You need to create an NT DOMAIN with the workstations full
members of the domain so that the Samba server is the logon server and
manages the users and passwords.

It may have been the worst season in Virginia Tech football in 20 years, but the Hokies ended the season on a positive note with Friday's 13-10 victory over Rutgers in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
Offense, as usual, was a struggle for the Hokies as they trailed the Scarlet Knights 10-0 at halftime. Bud Foster's defense was their usual dominant selves. Amazingly enough, both teams finished with 196 total yards for the entire game.
The Hokies defense held Rutgers to 2.5 yards per play while the offense finished with a meager 2.7 yards per play.
Regardless of how you view Virginia Tech's 2012 season, it did end on a three-game winning streak.
Here is a look at how all Virginia Tech starters or starting units graded out in the win over Rutgers.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A term usually applied to the blonde, fake n' bake orange girls who frequent frat parties and the beds of student athletes. She usually dresses for male attention: short skirt, tight shirt, thong hanging out, lots of makeup to cover up the ugly. Not all hooknasties are in sororities, but every sorostitute is a hooknasty. Often shamelessly performs the walk of shame. Is proud to talk about her sexploits and how she didn't use a condom.

The Big Story this morning from the AP:
Since the 9/11 attacks, the NYPD has opened at least a dozen "terrorism enterprise investigations" into mosques, according to interviews and confidential police documents. The TEI, as it is known, is a police tool intended to help investigate terrorist cells and the like.
Many TEIs stretch for years, allowing surveillance to continue even though the NYPD has never criminally charged a mosque or Islamic organization with operating as a terrorism enterprise.
The documents show in detail how, in its hunt for terrorists, the NYPD investigated countless innocent New York Muslims and put information about them in secret police files. As a tactic, opening an enterprise investigation on a mosque is so potentially invasive that while the NYPD conducted at least a dozen, the FBI never did one, according to interviews with federal law enforcement officials.
These revelations are part of a new book by AP reporters Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman on NYPD spying.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly quickly responded on "Morning Joe" by attacking the reporters' credibility--"they're hyping a book" that "will be a fair amount of fiction"-- but not directly disputing that mosques were investigated as terrorist organizations.

influence in "Watch Your Words," or the slaves and bulldozers of pounding opener "Find the Real." Principal writers
don't shy away from spiritual generalizations -- believing in the promise of a new day, for example, in "Burn It Down." There's also the dualistic quality of the band's name and album artwork, as well as a fold-out poster emblazoned with the title track's lyrics. "When every wound has been opened/And in this world of give and take you must have faith." This stuff muddies the line between old group and new; together with flourish-laden post-grunge pacesetters like "Broken Wings," "In Loving Memory," and "Shed My Skin," it suggests
Alter Bridge

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Jefferson County and other governments in the county merit system may deny raises to employees across the board if the government can't afford the salary increases, an Alabama Supreme Court panel ruled today.
The five-justice panel upheld a 2010 ruling by then-Jefferson County Circuit Judge William Noble, upholding the right of the Personnel Board of Jefferson County and its participating agencies to suspend merit raises in times of financial crisis. The county and most of its municipalities participate in the merit system.
The suit was filed against the Jefferson County personnel board and Sheriff Mike Hale by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 64 and three members of the Jefferson County sheriff's office. They contended merit-system employees are entitled to annual merit raises. But Noble ruled against the officers in December 2010, saying the personnel board has the discretion to set and alter rules for salary advancement, including suspending merit raises.
Both sides in the case agreed that the Jefferson County personnel board has the power to abolish the merit system pay plan and create a replacement. But the officers contended the personnel board can't allow its participating governments to plead poverty and deny merit raises to qualified employees.
"The power to abolish necessarily includes the power to suspend," Justice Glenn Murdock wrote in the 36-page decision. Concurring were Chief Justice Charles Malone and justices Thomas Woodall, Tom Parker and Jim Main.

The Bastrop wildfire burning near Austin, Texas, has become the most destructive fire in the state's history.
It has been estimated nearly 1,554 homes have been destroyed by the blaze, with the number expected to rise as the wildfire continues to burn. It has also scorched some 34,000 acres.
Seventeen people remain unaccounted for, but officials believe they could simply be out of town.
Fire officials said the fire is about 50 percent contained.
Meanwhile, Bastrop County schools will re-open on Monday. So many people are living in the town's Super 8, Best Western, and Holiday Inn that school buses will stop at all three.
Over the weekend, students handed out clothing and daily essentials to their teachers and classmates affected by the fire.
Some of the students said they hope school will bring some sense of normalcy back to their lives.
"Ready to go back to school. Tired of not seeing everybody. It will get their minds off it. A lot of them lost their homes," one student said.
"I know about 23 people who lost their homes -- pretty crazy," another student said.
Donation centers in the area have been so overwhelmed that they've stopped accepting clothing and other items.
The federal government on Friday declared Texas a disaster area, paving the way for individuals to get financial aid.

Dr. Sullivan is Director of Outpatient Urology Clinics and Procedures in Department of Urology at the Atlanta VA Medical Center
Dr. Sullivan received his medical degree from University of Louisville Medical School in 1968. Following a 3-year military service in the US Navy during the Vietnam War he returned to complete his urology residency training at Tulane University School of Medicine. In 1976, Dr. Sullivan joined Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital, New York, NY for fellowship specialization in urologic-oncology. Dr. Sullivan is a diplomat of the American Board of Urology, a Fellow of the American College of Surgery and a Certified Physician Executive (CPE) of American College of Physician Executives.
Upon completion of his fellowship, he was appointed as the Director of Urologic Oncology at Louisiana State University (LSU) School of Medicine in New Orleans in 1977. In 1984, he was promoted to Professor and Chairman of the Department of Urology at Louisiana State University (LSU) School of Medicine. Dr. Sullivan served on several executive committees including the Board of Directors of the American Urological Association (Southeastern Section) in 1990-1993 and in 1996-2004. He served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Urology (1998-2005).
In 2007 and after 25 years of being in command of a large department of urology at LSU, Dr. Sullivan decided to move to Atlanta for retirement. His plans soon changed after being persuaded by Dr. Fray Marshall (Former Chair) to join Emory Urology. He since has managed the outpatient urology clinics and procedures at Atlanta VA Medical Center.
Dr. Sullivan remains closely involved with teaching and mentoring medical students, urology residents and physician assistants. With a dedicated team of multiple providers, Dr. Sullivan and his team are responsible for over 8000 clinic visits per year including 1500 outpatient procedures.

Wellington Cable Car
Ride the Cable car from Lambton Quay, downtown Wellington, up the hill. There you will find lovely views back over the city and harbour. Also the Botanical Gardens, Carter Observatory and the Cable Car Museum. And yes, there is a coffee shop for refreshments, as well as an enchanting parfumery, you can read about on my other review.
Living in Wellington is a matter of getting used to the steep hills and pockets of houses between them. The Cable Car has been used for many years to get up just one of these hills, and now has a lovely new modern terminal at the top, to keep you protected from the sometimes rough weather.
It's very cheap and worth the trip up even just for the views.

Wonderful Wellington Views!
With over 110 years of service to the City of Wellington, the Wellington Cable Car allows easy access for pedestrians between Lambton Quay (downtown Wellington) and the Botanic Garden and Kelburn lookout where great views can be enjoyed over Wellington.
There are three intermediate stops which allow easy access to local residences and business locations. At Salamanca, the cable car stop allows provides access to the Kelburn campus of Victoria University.
The terminus at Kelburn is adjacent to the Cable Car Museum which houses two of the original cable cars. Entrance is free.
Take an easy, two minute walk in Wellington Botanic Gardens (entrance free) and you will reach the Carter Observatory and Planetarium.

Ride the Cable Car
The Wellington Cable Car was opened in 1902. Millions of people take this fun red cable car ride each year. In 1933 electricity replaced steam for power. In 1978 the earlier system was replaced by a new Swiss system that is still running today. On top there is an amazing view of Wellington's harbour.

an old-fashion experience!
The Wellington cable car experience is maybe the less scaring attraction in New Zealand, a country where bungee jumping is the most popular sport after rugby!
Cable cars are old-fashion amusements, and may seem boring and pointless for our modern society where everything can be quickly reached by car.
So, if you feel like experiencing a "vintage" cable car trip in a modern city to run away from nowaday's stress, just have a go.
You'll get a classic view on Wellington skyline, take a picture while the cable car climbs its lane and the city offers itself as a background and then have a look at the uphill elegant area.
My suggestion is to buy a one way ticket (3NZ$) and to go back downtown by walking through the Bothanical Gardens.

The oldest and most picturesque Tourist Attraction
A visit without using the Cable Car is only half a visit. It is Wellington's oldest and most picturesque tourist attraction, and takes you up to the Botanic Garden from where you have a spectacular view over the city and its wonderful harbour.
From Lambton Quay the Cable Car yourneys up the hill under the motorway, through three tunnels and over three viaducts, past Kelburn Park and Victoria University, to the top entrance of the Botanic Garden. It was built by prisoners within four years and completed in 1902.
The Cable Car system was designed by the Dunedin-born engineer James Fulton. It is 785 metres long and raises over 119 metres. The trip up to the top end and the Cable Car Museum in Upland Road takes about three and a half minutes, with three intermediate stops at Clifton Terrace, Talavera Terrace and Salamanca Road. In the early days the two cables' winding gear was powered by steam, but this was replaced by electricity in 1933.
Due to safety concerns the old system including the original cable cars were removed in 1978 and in October 1979 replaced by a more modern system, designed by a Swiss firm. But the red trams have retained their picturesque old-day charm.
The Cable Car leaves every 10 minutes, weekdays 7am – 10pm, Sat 8.30am – 10pm, Sun and public holidays 9am – 10pm.
Although it is cheaper to buy a return ticket (NZ$ 4.50) think twice. Most people take the ride up the hill and then walk back down to the city through the Botanic Garden. So a single ticket (2.50) is sufficient, a return ticket would be a waste – or become a sponsor of the Cable Car LOL
More info about the history of the Cable Car here
Shortly after our visit the Cable Car was vandalised the first time in its history and could not operate for several hours. Unfortunately the world is full of idiots :-(

Plunge into the History in the Cable Car Museum
The most interesting thing to me in this museum were not the displays of two old cable cars or the winding machinery (see: photo 3) but a film about the modern use of cable cars.
Many people in this city of steep hills have private cable cars. They get them built on their properties when the going gets tough, or because it is nearly impossible to carry heavy groceries up the steep stairs, or because the pet dog gets old, sick or lazy.
They show fascinating examples of totally different cable cars, the people telling their stories and allowing an insight into their properties and technical wonders, not sparing reports about accidents and mishaps with those outdoor lifts that can make life so much easier.
Of course, also the two old waggons (photos 1 and 2) in the two-storey display areas are great, especially the one with the seats outside the wagon. They are both from the early 1900's.
This popular museum is located in the historic Winding House at the Kelburn terminus of the Cable Car. As you always get to the top of the hill, have a little tour in the museum before you start your walk in the Botanic Garden.
Open daily (except Christmas Day) 9.30am – 5.30pm (from Labour Weekend until Easter, otherwise only until 5pm).
Admission free.
Address: 1 Upland Road, Kelburn

Cable Car
You just need to get to Lambton Quay where the cable car already waits for you to take you up the hill to Kelburn, overlooking the city. (nice spot for taking pictures)
The service has been providing since 1902, there is a tiny museum on the hill with one of the cable cars on display and many souvenirs to buy.

Cable Car for great views
The cable car is a cheap easy way to get to the Botanic gardens (quite a steep walk otherwise). They run frequently and also stop at Victorai University. Stopping at the top at Kelburn, one can wonder to Kelburn shops, where there is a great German bakery.
Address: From Lambton Quay to the Botanic Gardens
Historic Cable Car & Cable Car Museum
This restored historic cable car is one of Wellington's icons. The original steam tramway was replaced by the current electrical cable car in 1978 & is now one of the few remaining of its type in the world. It is one of the great way to get an overview of the city and harbour (on a fine day).
The cable car travels from downtown Wellington, tunneling under the corporate towers of The Terrace and emerges in the leafy hilltop suburb of Kelburn (known for its galleries, craft shops and restaurants). The final stop is the top of the Botanic Garden, after a 610m climb.
They are located at the end of the Cable Car Lane (beside McDonald's), off Lambton Quay, in the heart of Wellington's Central Business District. Cars run every 10 minutes. See Transportation tip for schedule.
If you have a chance, take a visit to the Cable Car Museum @ the top terminus. The museum houses an original cable car & trailer as well as the old winding equipment is located beside the current Upland Road Station. It provides a look at some of Wellington's early history and shows the role the cable car has had on the development of this part of the city. Museum opens daily (except Christmas Day) & admission is free. Visit the museum webpage @ www.cablecarmuseum.co.nz for more information. Phone: (04) 471 0919.

Cable Car
You have to take a ride on the cable car when you are in Wellington. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, and it takes you from Lambton Quay up to the Botanical Gardens, with 3 stops in between. You will get great views of the city and harbour from the top. There is also a Cable Car Museum with free admission, open 9 AM to 5 PM every day, and a restaurant at the top.
A 1-way trip for adults costs NZ$1.80 and $1 for children/students. A return trip costs double. The cable car runs from 7 AM - 10 PM on Monday through Friday, and 8:30 AM to 10 PM on Saturday and Sunday. You can catch a car every 10 minutes during these times.

Cable car ride...
You should also use the cable car at least once while you're in Wellington although this probably won't be for practical purposes.
This travels between Lambton Quay and the Botanic Gardens and runs every ten minutes daily. A return ticket costs $2.50 and the views alone ensure that it's money well spent.
In operation since 1902, the current car dates from 1979 and offers breathtaking views of the city as well as access to the Botanic Gardens.

Ride the Cable Car
For a great view of the city, ride the Wellington Cable Car from the Botanic Gardens down to the city. The car leaves every 10 minutes and provides some of the most amazing postcard views of the capital city.
You will be able to wait and watch the capital on the loading dock of the car or you can visit the Cable Car Museum that is just steps from the car itself. Or, if these are in your liking, walk just a bit away and get some different views from the other viewing platforms.
The ride will only cost you $1.80 for an adult, $1.00 for a child or $10.00 for a family return. You can pay at the ticket office on Lambton Quay or if coming from the top, you can pay the assistant on the train.
This train was very near my apartment in Kelburn and though we never took it down, many people did. Students frequent the train as it is the most practical way for them to get up the hill.
Built by Upland Estate Real Estate company as a means of transport to the farm land in Kelburn, which upon completion of the Cable car system in 1902 was developed into the suburb it is today.
You might even find yourself on a postcard one day if you ride the train enough. It is possibly the most famous photograph of the city, or atleast the most common one.

The "Cable Car"
I dont know why this "cable car" still exists and I have always been reluctant to use it for almost the entire time I was staying in Wellington. It seemed pointless to me at the time because I thought it didn't go anywhere and wouldn't give me a view like the peak of Mt. Victoria would. However I did in the end fork out the £1.35 (return) and gave it a try.
It was much more than I expected. The Tram stops at various points of the rail to let people on and off...so you can get out, have a look around that area (like the observatory and the botantical gardens) then hop on to the next tram that comes along. The view at the top, as is with all the peaks around Wellington was (some what predictedly) stunning. My camera flashed away again!
I tell you what, it was much better using the cable car than it was to walk, or take a crampt bus up the hill!!! (and quicker to get to the bot gardens). A must if you have some time to kill and you want to see the gardens and observatory...or even just for the view.
Directions: On Lampton Quay, the entrance is inside a small shopping mall (if you can call it that). Next to McD'sRelated to:

The man, identified as Tauseef, was a friend of Faisal Shahzad, the American citizen of Pakistani origin who is in custody in the United States over the failed attack, one official said. He was arrested in the southern city of Karachi, said the official, who like all Pakistani spies refuses to be named in the media.
Another official said several people had been taken into custody in Karachi since the failed attack Saturday.
Neither said when the detentions had taken place. They said no charges had been filed.
• Pakistani man linked to SUV bomb in Times Square is speaking to authorities
• Pakistani man is due in court on charges linked to SUV bomb in Times Square
• Suspect is arrested in connection with failed Times Square bombing
• Registered owner of SUV found with bomb in Times Square says he had sold vehicle for cash
U.S. officials have said the 30-year-old had recently returned from a five-month stay in Pakistan, raising speculation he may have been in contact with al-Qaida or Taliban groups in the South Asian country.
A local television station reported today that Shahzad spent time in Karachi and visited the northwestern city of Peshawar during his stay in Pakistan. Peshawar is a gateway for foreigners seeking to travel into the nearby tribal regions where militant groups have long had sanctuaries.
Shahzad is suspected of driving a bomb-laden vehicle into Times Square last Saturday and parking it on a street lined with restaurants and Broadway theaters. He was expected in court to face charges later today.

Devine hundred slays South Africa
Sophie Devine's superb 145 powered New Zealand to a 150-run demolition of South Africa on day two of the Women's World Cup in India.
Devine almost doubled her previous international-best 74 not out in a commanding total of 320 for five at the Driems Cricket Ground in Cuttack.
The Proteas' decision to bowl first was initially rewarded when the White Ferns slipped to 27 for two, but Devine and her captain Suzie Bates added 128.
Bates went for 72 yet Devine put on 64 with Sara McGlashan and a rapid 102 with Nicola Browne, who was unbeaten on 40.
South Africa never threatened to overhaul New Zealand's score as Sian Ruck's 4-31 and Morna Nielsen's 3-34 limited them to 170 all out in 41 overs.
In today's other Group B game Australia beat Pakistan by 94 runs at the Barabati Stadium, also in Cuttack.
A shock was on the cards when the Southern Stars, who won the toss, were dismissed for 175 in the 47th over as Sadia Yousuf returned 3-30. Rachel Haynes and Lisa Sthalekar made thirties but could not go on while Sarah Coyte struck 35 not out.
However, with the exception of Bismah Maroof's 43, Pakistan folded meekly to be all out for 84 in the 34th over with Coyte claiming 3-20.
Both matches were scheduled to be played in Mumbai but a week ago were moved to Cuttack, which will host all the Group B fixtures.

TvC Review
TvC is a lot of fun, albeit in a throwaway manor. The game's fighting system is deep, and its roster well balanced - pretty much every character is viable, which is one hell of an achievement.
Two characters don't play by the game's rules: huge robot Gold Lightan and giant mech PTX-40A. Both are so big, they force the camera to pan back.
On the Capcom side, things are less obscure, but only slightly so. Eternal emo Ryu and mega-legs Chun-Li from Street Fighter make predictable appearances, and Frank West from Dead Rising (how did that happen?) shows up, but the rest had us scratching our heads just as much as the Tatsunoko bunch. Who can forget Megaman Volnutt, who may or may not be a relative of Megaman Walnut, or Rival Schools schoolkid Batsu? And let's not forget Kaijin No Soki, the most powerful Onimusha (remember that?).
The 26 characters are an eclectic bunch, to say the least. But if you give the Tatsunoko lot a chance, you'll find at least one of them grows on you. Still, you can't escape feeling culture shocked. You just can't. Perhaps making up for the somewhat inaccessible roster, then, is a fighting system designed to appeal to casual fighting fans as much as the hardcore.
TvC uses a four button system; three for attacks: light, medium and hard; and one for partner assist: P. It's context sensitive, so the same button will sometimes bust out a kick, other times a punch. This streamlined system keeps things pretty simple - certainly simpler than the six button Street Fighter.
The combo system is more forgiving than those found in other Capcom fighting games, too. You can perform some impressive, high damage combos just by button mashing and repeating the quarter circle forward motion. Chaining combos is a simple matter of "linking" attacks. Light, middle and hard in quick succession - with little consideration for timing - is bread and butter stuff, even for high level play. Add a launcher on to the end of a chain combo, and you can easily follow it up with an air combo. At its most basic, you can get some good results with L, L, M, M, down forward H, up, L, L, M, M, H, Special Move. The spectacular Hyper Combos are even easier to pull off. They almost always require one stick motion, be it quarter circle, Dragon Punch or charge based, and pressing two attack buttons at the same time.
It's significantly slower than MvC2, too, which should make it more palatable for those put off by the VS. series' trademark blistering pace. It all amounts to a more instantly gratifying game than MvC2 and indeed Street Fighter 4. Really, there's no reason why you won't feel very good about yourself - no matter what your skill level - when you're playing it.
Of course, the fighting system has the depth enthusiasts require. Some of the complex systems, like Variable Assists and Variable Attacks (basically your partner comes in for a quick attack) and Team Hyper Combos (call in your partner to do their Hyper Combo as you do your own), are universal to the VS. series. But there are one or two new features that the hardcore will have loads of fun getting to grips with.

Service, farm workers have highest poverty rates
September 07, 1999
In 1997, workers in service occupations and agricultural jobs had double-digit poverty rates. The poverty rate for service workers was 12.1 percent while the rate for workers in farming, forestry, and fishing was 16.0 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
Workers in other occupations had poverty rates below 10 percent. The proportion living below the poverty level ranged from just 1.8 percent for persons in managerial and professional specialty occupations to 7.3 percent for persons working as operators, fabricators, and laborers.
Poverty rates varied within the major occupational groups, especially within service occupations. For private household workers, the poverty rate in 1997 was 22.3 percent, and for protective service workers it was 3.1 percent. Among all other workers in service occupations (such as waiters and waitresses, dental assistants, janitors, and beauticians), 13.0 percent lived below the poverty level.
These data on poverty rates are from the Current Population Survey. The above figures are for individuals who spent at least 27 weeks in the labor force in 1997. Find out more in "A Profile of the Working Poor, 1997," BLS Report 936.

Evan. Bet you would never guess that !
if you don't mind disclosing that information. not your full name, unless you feel like it.
i'm just curious. knowing frogger is emma and brawny is adam has changed the way i 'look' at them. why? i don't know.
my name is katja. cutya. kah-tee-ya. it's finnish. the cute way, and the way most people say it, is kasia. kahsha.
be daring, be different, be impractical,
be anything that will assert integrity of purpose
and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers,
the creatures of commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
Evan. Bet you would never guess that !

Yeah, got teased a lot at school for my last name. Though I've heard of stranger surnames. The guy who directed Tru Calling was Brian Wankum. And then there's a guy called Thomas Wanker who did something on Buffy. Seriously, go check imdb...
Mail me if you want to add me on either the Wii or the 360.
I was going to be called thomas..But I had an extremely rich GrandMother who was the poshest person you would ever meet..And she said
'Well, you're certainly not calling him thomas. It sounds too much like John Thomas, it's not acceptable. Just call him Jack'.
So..here I am..Jack:P
Oh, and if you don't know, 'John Thomas' is a word referring to men's Genitals.
Enoch was right.
