Portland's most notorious knee-whacker is consulting with lawyers again, but this time claiming that she is the one who has taken the low blow.
At the center of this spicy controversy is a 5-ounce bottle of "Tonya Hot Sauce," made by PDX Hot Lix! LLC. The bottle features a cartoon of a frumpy Tonya Harding smoking in front of a trailer with a hubcap in one hand and a pair of skates in the other. The label is sprinkled with quips like "Guaranteed to assault your taste buds!" and "Not for the weak-kneed!" The sauce, on the market for two years, gets about 90 percent of its sales through Made in Oregon stores, says John Farmer of PDX Hot Lix! (Aside from a hot sauce lampooning Bob Whitsitt that had a brief run, Tonya Hot Sauce is the only product Farmer's company sells.)
On Oct. 21, a San Diego law firm representing Harding sent a letter to Made in Oregon claiming that the hot-sauce bottles defame the skater-turned-celebrity boxer and "unfairly remind [Harding] of upsetting, misunderstood events that years ago ruined her bid to become an Olympic champion." The letter demands that Made in Oregon fork over a share of revenues from the sales of Tonya Hot Sauce and give Harding a say about how she's portrayed on the label. Made in Oregon immediately pulled the sauce from its shelves.
Of course, Harding has recently been on the other side of the legal ledger. The former Olympian was arrested in April for driving under the influence after crashing her pickup into a ditch; tests showed that her blood-alcohol level was 0.16, twice the legal limit. Because drinking alcohol violated her probation from a 2000 assault case (involving a hubcap and an ex-boyfriend), she served a 10-day term in Washington's Clark County Jail in August. Earlier in the year, she was evicted from her Camas ranch house when she fell behind on rent.
Farmer says Harding is mistaken if she thinks his sauce will be her meal ticket. Although Tonya Hot Sauce is Made in Oregon's best-selling sauce, he says, only 2,000 bottles have been sold, each at $5. For now, he's letting the folks at Made in Oregon deal with the lawyers. Says Farmer, "I just want to sell my hot sauce."
Strange as it seems, Harding could be on the right side of the law this time. According to Duane Bosworth, who practices intellectual-property law, Harding may have a tough sell claiming defamation (because no one is saying anything false about her) but does have the right to stop people from using her image to make money. "You can't use someone's identity to imply sponsorship, endorsement, or to sell your product," says Bosworth. "If they're trading on her celebrity, then she has a legitimate claim."

- Reviews
Customer Reviews 4 item(s)
- Gentrol
This is a excellent product. I Have used it many times, I use this with a combination of Feventastar eco cap. No sign of roaches. I spray 2 or 3 times a week, No roaches. I would recommend both products.
- Good Stuff
Although it seems to be getting rid of the roaches, it seems to be taking some time to do this. But I must say that we did have a pretty bad infestation of german cockroaches. It appears that as long as I am persistent and keep spraying the gentrol, the more the cockroaches seem to disappear.
DIY RESPONSE: Yes you are correct. Gentrol is a slow acting form of control because it works by breaking the reproduction cycle. It makes the adult roaches sterile so that they are unable to reproduce into new roaches. It doesn't kill roaches directly and that is the reason you see such a slow steady decline in the population.
- Chemicals are Chemicals
Like I said above, The best thing is DIY ordering is easy and good quick delivery, so far safe use of credit cards. When I have a question I just ask. With roaches the best solution is clean up the garbage if possible, and then stay on top of it, a good clean spray will start the elimination process fast. Remember to change your poisons every couple of months. Roaches are tough little boogers.
- Awesome product
I absolutely hate cockroaches and I have finally found the solution to keep them out of my house. Used Gentrol with the Phantom insecticide to spray and bam, no more cockroaches inside. My boyfriend is enjoying me not running and screaming out of the room every day because there's a cockroach. It's the little things.

A southwest Missouri woman is dead after another round of torrential downpours caused flash flooding.
McDonald County emergency management director Greg Sweeten says the woman died early Thursday when her car was swept off Missouri Route 90 near the town of Jane, Mo. Sweeten says normally-dry Brush Creek came up suddenly.
The National Weather Service says parts of southwest Missouri got 10 inches of rain overnight. The town of Hollister was especially hard hit, with about 100 buildings damaged. More than two dozen people had to be rescued from homes, mostly mobile homes, in Hollister, which is near Branson in Taney County.
The weather service says more heavy rain is likely for southern Missouri in the coming days.

What can I get through interlibrary loan?
Materials We Do Not Own
ILL works with libraries across the nation and beyond to get you access to materials that USF Tampa library does not own. This material is subject to the usage rules and due dates set by the lending library.
USF Libraries Materials
ILL will transfer materials owned at other USF Libraries to the Tampa Library. ILL will also process requests for items currently checked out/unavailable at the Tampa Library.
Interlibrary loan cannot usually obtain:
- Textbooks
- E-Books
- Standardized test books
- Computer software
- Entire issues of periodicals
- Special media formats (ex. albums and kits)
- Very old or rare material
Can I use interlibrary loan to get a paper copy of an e-book?
Interlibrary loan cannot usually obtain alternative format copies of books that the library owns. There are a couple of exceptions: if there is something wrong with access to the material, or if the material exists in a different format at another USF library.
Is there a restriction on the number of requests I can submit?
The Tampa ILL office can process 20 ILL requests per person per week. Requests in excess of this will be held until the following week. However, ILL can only hold one week's worth of requests.
Please remember that book loan periods are limited to the due date set by the lending library and often cannot be renewed; schedule your research accordingly.
What is ILLiad and how do I get started?
ILLiad is an automated interlibrary loan management system that improves our services to you by tracking your requests for materials your home library does not own. To make an ILL request, sign into ILLiad using one of the log in buttons on the main ILL page » First time users will be asked to complete a one time registration.
You must specify a home library (i.e. Sarasota, St. Petersburg, or Tampa) when registering to use ILLiad. You may only select one home library. Some available library locations serve specific populations (ex. Shimberg Health Sciences library services Health students, staff, and faculty). Feel free to contact us if you are unsure which home library you should choose.
What if I don't have a NetID?
All USF students, staff, faculty, and visiting scholars will have a NetID. Examples of library patrons who do not/will not have a USF NetID are New College students, staff and faculty, faculty proxies, and St. Pete special borrowers. If you do not have a NetID and need to register for an ILLiad login, you can start here »
I am a Distanced Learner, how do I get access to library materials?
Interlibrary loan will deliver library and ILL materials direct to a distanced learner's home address. For interlibrary loan purposes, the library defines a USF distance learner as a student currently enrolled in distance coursework who attends on-campus less than once a week and has a permanent residence outside Hillsborough County.
Distance learner patrons must agree to return loans so that they are received back at the USF ILL office by the due date issued by the lending library. Mail delivery of non USF materials will be restricted to the United States. Patrons are responsible for all return postage for loans.
I am a Visiting Scholar, how can I use interlibrary loan?
The USF Tampa Campus Library will extend interlibrary loan privileges to visiting scholars (i.e., persons engaged as professors, research scholars or specialists in the USF J-1 program) on condition that the visiting scholar's department faculty sponsors such use. Please fill out the Visiting Scholar interlibrary loan form and return it to the interlibrary loan department to apply for service.
How long does it take to get an ILL?
Typically, material owned by one of the USF campuses is available within 3-5 business days (assuming the material is on the shelf and not checked out to another patron).
Most articles are delivered electronically and can be available in your ILLiad account in 2-10 days. Books and other loans from non-USF institutions are typically available in approximately 1-2 weeks. Your request is processed within 24-hours of receipt – the delay is incurred while awaiting action by the lending library, over which we have no control.
You can help speed the process by:
- only using abbreviations when your source citation uses them
- providing complete citations
- check the USF Catalog first
- make sure your contact information in ILLiad is current
- include an ISBN/ISSN or an OCLC/WorldCat Assession number in your request
How do I get my materials and where do I return them?
Most articles are received by the ILL office electronically and delivered to you via your ILLiad account. Physical copies of articles are held at your Library Services Desk or mailed to you per your indication during ILLiad registration.
Due to copyright issues, the library cannot retain articles. Therefore, it is important that you check materials electronically delivered for any problems, such as missing or illegible pages within one week of delivery. If you find any errors after that time frame, you will need to submit a new request for that article.
Incoming loans (books) are held at your home campus Library Services Desk under your last name. A current picture ID card required to check-out ILL materials – no exceptions. Only the person whose name is on the ILL request may pick up an ILL book. Each library has the right to restrict the use of materials to "in-house use only". This may be due in part to rarity, frailty or other extenuating circumstances.
* Faculty who wish that their assistants or proxy card holder pick up their ILL material must make sure that the proxy holder's name is also on the ILL request.
Materials borrowed from another USF Library (i.e. St. Petersburg, Sarasota, de la Parte Institute (FMHI), Health Sciences Center and Tampa) may be returned to any USF library.
Materials borrowed from non-USF institutions (identified by an informational band/label on the front cover) must be returned to the Library Services Desk of your home library. Do not use book drops – this includes book drops inside the building proper. Do not remove the band/label from the item you have borrowed. It is your responsibility to observe and adhere to these restrictions. Failure to do so may result in holds or penalties applied to your account.
How long do I get to keep ILL items?
Loan periods vary and are assigned by the lending institution. Additionally, materials are subject to recall by the lender at any time. Overdue fines on materials borrowed from non-USF institutions are particularly steep (see below). It is your responsibility to be aware of your material's due dates.
Can I renew my ILL?
Renewals for non USF items are determined by the lending library. Please contact your ILL office to send a renewal request to the lender. We usually receive a response in a business day and will forward it to you immediately. Do not return your item while you are waiting for a response.*
Materials owned by the USF libraries may either be renewed in person at any of the USF libraries or via the online renewal service.
*If two days have passed and you do not hear back from us on your renewal request, please call.
How much does it cost?
The interlibrary loan department works very hard to provide a cost free service. Infrequently, the Tampa ILL office may only be able to fill a request using a commercial document supply service. In these cases, the ILL office will only be able to cover $50 worth of document supply fees. We will contact you before processing your request to get your authorization and arrange billing. Please see policy: ILL Charges and Fees »
Are there penalties for overdue items?
Materials owned by the USF Library System are subject to overdue fines at a rate of .25 per book per day with an additional $10 service charge on the 7th day. Charges for lost materials will be decided by the lending library.
Interlibrary loan is a privilege that relies heavily on a good relationship with the lending libraries. Late return of books can damage our relationship with the lending libraries and jeopardize our ability to borrow items in the future. The following will occur when materials are overdue:
- You will receive two (2) or more emails reminding you of your due date.
- At seven (7) days overdue, you are blocked from using ILLiad and you incur and additional $10 charge.
- Thirty (30) days overdue: you are billed for the items replacement cost as determined by the lending library. All replacement costs are non-refundable.
Repeat offenders: interlibrary loan service will be blocked to individuals whose borrowing privileges have been suspended twice or who chronically return interlibrary loan materials after the date due. Patrons who have been blocked may request reinstatement of privileges by petitioning their home library.
Please understand that compliance with an item's due date is your responsibility. Any attempts we make to contact you are a courtesy and our failure to do so does not release you from your responsibility to return the materials on time.
In addition, according to the USF Student Code of Conduct, misuse or abuse of ILL privileges may result in adjudication by the Student Judicial Office. See Student Code of Conduct: Section I(5): Response to Notice and Section I(7): misuse of property.
I am faculty, how do I request a film for my class?
If you would like to request a film for delivery through PRONTO or from another USF library, please use the book/loan form in ILLiad.
USF Tampa VHS and DVDs can also be scheduled for pick up for specific lecture dates via the Media Scheduling Services form. Media scheduling will also help you schedule a Media Center classroom in the library.
I am faculty, how do I arrange for my GA to request and pick-up my materials?
If you would like for your GA to pick up your interlibrary loan materials requested by you, you can add their name after your last name in your ILLiad profile. Only persons whose names are in the account may pick up ILL materials.
If you would like your GA to request ILL/PRONTO items as well as pick them up, you should create a Proxy account for your GA*. First, request a Proxy Card via the Proxy Card Request form. Then:
- Create an ILLiad account through the non-NetID ILLiad login page, separate from your and your GA's personal accounts
- Include both faculty and GA name in the Last Name field. Example: Schmidt proxy for Johnson
- Use the 22102… number from the proxy card in the Library ID number field
- Use faculty member email and phone contact information
- Keep track of the user name and password of the proxy account
*The faculty member is responsible for all transactions, fines and fees of the proxy. Please let us know immediately if your proxy leaves your employ before your selected proxy expiration date.
What does the ILLiad request status of my ILL mean?
During the course of processing your interlibrary Loan request will move through several different status levels in the ILLiad system. You will receive an automated email notification when your item is available but the status levels will also give you an idea of how your request is doing.
- Awaiting Request Processing: Your request has been successfully received by the ILLiad system and is waiting for an ILL staff member to process it.
- Request Sent: Your request has been sent out by ILL staff to potential lenders. It will remain at this status until a lender agrees to send us material and that material is received by the ILL office.
- ILL Purchase Requested: Your request has been selected for our Purchase On Demand program. Instead of processing your request for a loan of the material, our library is purchasing the material. The entire purchase process should take no longer than receiving a loan from another institution.
- Awaiting Information From Customer: ILL staff need your input in order to finish your request. You should have received an email notifying you of the problem.
- Customer Notified via Email: Your requested material has arrived and is being held for you at the Library Services Desk. You should have received an email notifying you of the delivery.
- Checked Out to Customer: Your requested material has been picked-up at your Library Services Desk and is in your possession.
Why am I not receiving email updates on my ILL request?
The ILLiad system does not send confirmation emails. Instead, you can check the status of your request by logging into your ILLiad account.
If you are not receiving cancellation, availability, renewal, or request for information emails there are a few things that could be happening. Please check your ILLiad account under "change user information" to verify that we have your correct contact email.
ILLiad emails can also be caught by spam and junk filters. Please make sure that emails from our system are marked as safe.

Francesca DiMattio Bio
About The Artist
Francesca DiMattio juxtaposes harmonious geometry with zig zags, collaged images, and exploding forms, creating off-balance and complex compositions. Though her compositions may at first seem disjointed and chaotic, DiMattio draws on elements of architecture and structural design to restructure space in her paintings.
DiMattio describes her practice as "getting into trouble and getting out of it." Fascinated by texture, she plays with the strength and quality of her brushstrokes and combines materials to create work with dynamism and energy.

The GG&G Standard Aimpoint Ring provides rock-solid mounting, and is built to withstand the rigors of combat. It is the most rugged standard height scope ring for the Aimpoint available today. The GGG Standard Aimpoint Scope Ring is designed and manufactured to maximize the Aimpoint's tactical features. Unlike the copycat and cheap knockoffs available today, this GG&G scope ring is manufactured from 6061 T6 solid billet aluminum and Type III hard-coat anodized black per mil-spec, no shiny anodized finish, no extrusions or out-of-spec cast parts here! The GG&G Standard Aimpoint 30mm Ring is attached to the scope mount base by using a squeeze rail design, incorporating a single elliptical thumbnut. There is also a square locking cross bar for recoil control. The ring body has a built-in insulated spare battery compartment with a spare battery cap. This is an important feature and it's located on the side of the ring for easy access. The GG&G Aimpoint Ring is extra wide so that only one ring is required.
In order to co-witness with a back-up iron sight and the front sight, the low-profile GG&G Scope Ring for Aimpoint Comp M Series Red Dot Sights must be mounted on the GG&G Scout Length FIRE System Rail.

Unladen Swallow
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into CPython. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2013.
|Unladen Swallow Team[1]
|Stable release
2009Q3 / October 20, 2009
|Written in
|Python Programming Language Interpreter
|Apache License
|Unladen Swallow at Google Code
Unladen Swallow was an optimization branch of CPython, intended to be fully compatible and significantly faster. It aimed to achieve its goals by supplementing CPython's custom virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler built using LLVM.
The project had stated a goal of a speed improvement by a factor of five over CPython;[2] this goal was not met.[3]
The project was sponsored by Google, and the project owners, Thomas Wouters, Jeffrey Yasskin, and Collin Winter, are full-time Google employees,[4] however most project contributors are not Google employees. Unladen Swallow is hosted on Google Code.[5]
Like many things regarding the Python language, the name Unladen Swallow is a Monty Python reference, specifically to the joke about the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Although it fell short of all published goals, Unladen Swallow did produce some code which got added to the main Python implementation, such as improvements to the cPickle module.[6]
Project activity[edit]
In July 2010, some observers speculated on whether the project was dead or dying, since the 2009 Q4 milestone had not yet been released.[7] The traffic on Unladen's mailing list had decreased from 500 messages in January 2010, to fewer than 10 in September 2010.[8] It has also been reported that Unladen lost Google's funding.[9] In November 2010, one of the main developers announced that "Jeffrey and I have been pulled on to other projects of higher importance to Google".[10]
The 2009 Q4 development branch was created on January 26, 2010,[11] but no advertising was made on the website. Further, regarding the long-term plans, and as the project missed the Python 2.7 release, a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP)[3] was accepted, which proposed a merge of Unladen Swallow into a special py3k-jit branch of Python's official repository. As of July 2010, this work was ongoing.[12] This merging would have taken some time, since Unladen Swallow was originally based on Python 2.6[13] with which Python 3 broke compatibility (see Python 3000 for more details). However, the PEP was subsequently withdrawn.
In early 2011, it became clear that the project was stopped.[14]

The art world sometimes has a hard time talking about Van Gogh. Personally I inevitably have to deal with the whole Wait till you die and then youll be famous type quotes and people wondering why I still have two ears if I want to be a good artist. When people talk to me about art history many times the topic goes to how great Van Gogh was and it can be sometimes disheartening to listen to a very one-sided conversation when there are so many other great artists out there even better than Van Gogh on occasion. So we tend to get a little dismissive about the man and his work. We tend to turn up our noses and say Oh I am so tired of Van Gogh. I have even had a woman leave the Vermeer room at the National Gallery when I said Hey I just saw a cool Van Gogh show in Philly.
The same thing happens when I try and talk about Frank Lloyd Wright to an architect; or Mozart to a musician. When one artist becomes so iconic for their field, and surrounding mythologies become almost unbelievable, the general public holds them up as the standards for the art world, the rest of us have to compete and its not easy to compete with Van Gogh even if there are very few similarities between his art and mine.
I recently saw a Van Gogh show at the Art Gallery of Hamilton in Ontario Canada, since we are visiting the area. For being such a small museum this place really packs a wallop. It had a very nice contemporary collection on display and even the gift shop was full of nice surprises. The draw was the Van Gogh show (for us) and the actual exhibit was very small, consisting of only a few paintings, one of which was really top notch. Some of the paint work seeming so expressive that I think it a precursor to Anselm Kiefer. The nice part was we had the gallery to ourselves. The accompanying works, Van Goghs inspirers, were also well displayed and all together nice.
I started thinking about how much life and force this man put into his works, how there was really something under his skin and behind his eyes that he really wanted the rest of the world to experience. I remembered the Van Gogh drawing show at the Metropolitan Art Museum, and how some people I knew wouldnt go because the crowds were so big. Well I went and it was one of the best shows I had ever seen. I learned so much staring at all of the passion and energy this artist put into the most common of scenes. He didnt just paint what he saw, he wasnt a copy machine, he was a recorder of his space and time. I have read all about him in every art history class up until college when I noticed some people getting fed-up with him. But its too easy to just say that I am fed up too I feel that I have a lot of work to do and life to experience before I can put the same amount of passion into anything. Seeing another Van Gogh show gives me the drive to keep at it. I hope its always worth it.

Spurred by resident concerns about groundwater contamination caused by the area's oil industry-influenced past, the Kenai Peninsula Borough will soon start to coordinate an environmental assessment of the Nikiski area.
The borough recently received $150,000 from a capital budget reappropriation crafted by State Rep. Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski. That money has not yet approved by Gov. Sean Parnell, but Borough Mayor Mike Navarre said he expects the money to make the budget.
Nikiski resident Wayne Ogle on Monday announced his candidacy for the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly District 3 seat currently held by Ray Tauriainen.
According to a press release, Ogle is a retired U.S. Coast Guard captain and a former regulatory permit manager for an oil industry offshore engineering company based in Houston. Now retired, Ogle was also previously the public works director in Bethel and Kenai.
"I want to continue Ray's work in representing Nikiski as a common sense conservative, especially in fiscal matters," Ogle said in the release.
A movement of "wealthy, liberal environmentalists" are ignoring reality in favor of an extreme view distant from the common American's desire to aspire to a better quality of life, said Frank Murkowski, a former Alaska governor.
In a speech titled "Who Owns Alaska," Murkowski, a Republican who also served as a U.S. Senator for the state from 1981 to 2002, said that quality of life can't come from the government, which environmentalists view as a charity. It can only come from the natural resources of the state and nation, he said.
If you take high school one day at a time, it'll be over in a flash.
At least that's how it felt to Koebryn Mlynarik on Sunday dressed in his cap and gown, Cook Inlet Academy diploma in hand, friends and family congratulating him and taking his photo.
"Man, it is just mind-blowing," said the 17-year-old. "Coming out of high school and it's all over? Honestly, I never imagined this day. High School — you get caught up in it and all of the sudden it's over in a flash."
Buccaneer Energy has spudded its first well with the Endeavour-Spirit of Independence jack-up rig nine months after it arrived in Alaska waters from Singapore.
Buccaneer, which recently received the thumbs-up to drill from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, started drilling at the Cosmopolitan prospect Sunday, the company announced in a press release.
After launching one of the largest and fastest 3D seismic data gathering campaigns in Cook Inlet's history, Apache Oil Corporation's work in the area has paused — victim to slow permitting processes in key areas.
The company made headlines when the work it planned to complete halted in mid-September 2012. Previously, Apache had gathered more than 300 square miles of seismic data spread across the west side of the inlet from the east Forelands area north including portions of Nikiski and up into Tyonek.
Since then Apache has played the waiting game.
Local wildlife biologists and invasive species experts from the Kenai Peninsula are scrambling to combat the invasive elodea plant recently found in two Nikiski area lakes.
Those serving on a recently assembled working group hope to kill the plant — which can damage native fisheries, impede boat traffic and lower property values — before it spreads throughout the area, as it can easily do.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly introduced its $73.2 million fiscal year 2014 budget on Tuesday.
The budget is contained in Ordinance 2013-19 and, if approved after a June 4 public hearing, would take effect July 1. The budget calls for $73.2 million in expenditures, an overall increase of $301,679 from this year's budget, and $71.9 million in revenues.
Buccaneer Energy will have access to drill for oil with the Endeavour-Spirit of Independence jack-up rig within a well-established Cook Inlet unit known for its gas reserves after inking a deal with ConocoPhillips.
On a snowy Thanksgiving Day years ago, Gordon Orth was working alone when he was called to the scene of a T-bone accident.
When one of the cars flipped at the intersection of Scout Lake Road and the Sterling Highway, a man was ejected and pinned underneath the roof.
"When I got there all I saw was legs sticking out from underneath the car," Orth said.
A young kid that stopped used a tow rope to pull the car up enough for Orth to reach in and pull the man out from under. Unresponsive and not breathing, Orth gave him a minute of CPR with no results.

On top of that, the 3rd line at the time with Abdelkader, Miller, and Helm was one of, if not our best line. They were really grinding the opposition defense, providing a lot of garbage and chaos in front of the crease, and even putting the puck in the net at a decent clip (considering its essentially a Grind Line). Ironically, we demoted Franzen to the 3rd line and instead of lighting a fire under him and while providing the checking line with a useful big body, he continued to suck tremendous ass and effectively cooled down that line until Helm's injury.
Pretty sad when the most accountability he's seen is being demoted 4 games or so, and still playing so badly that Babcock just gave up on the experiment and put him back on the first line. Its been two seasons straight now in which Babcock disrupts the chemistry throughout his lineup just trying to get Johan Franzen to play like he's capable of. Line 2 has chemistry? Put him there! Line 3 has chemistry? Put him there! Line 1 is starting to come around and score consistently? Great, its fixed; put him there! *sigh*

Wendy Davis Sees Legal Income Rise
Democrat Wendy Davis only makes $7,200 a year in salary as a state senator, but her take-home pay more than doubled between 2010 and 2012 thanks to steadily rising income from her private law practice, tax records show.
Davis, who is running for Texas governor, provided her last three tax returns to The Texas Tribune late Tuesday. Her expected Republican opponent, Attorney General Greg Abbott, previously provided his last three returns.
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Davis lists two attorney jobs on her résumé: She's a partner in her own firm, Newby Davis, and a lawyer ...

Last July, Vicente Escobedo's face was on fire. Nonetheless, the junior lightweight contender clenched his teeth and presented one-month-old Milana with the simplicity of a satisfied smile as he cradled her in his arms.
Though suffering from a broken nose and deviated septum, the proud papa from Woodland was happily engrossed in quality time with his daughter. Based on his previous outing in his day job where he chose to fight at a major size disadvantage rather than lose out on a six-figure paycheck, no one can question the lengths "Chente" will go to provide for his family.
"If it was just me, personally, I would have walked away," said Escobedo (NorCal No. 7; 26-4, 15 KOs), a 2004 U.S. Olympian who returns to the ring Saturday against Edner Cherry in Atlantic City's famed Boardwalk Hall.
This past summer, the 130-pound Escobedo arrived in Cincinnati in the shape of his life to challenge hometown hero Adrien Broner for the WBO version of the junior lightweight title. However, during the weigh-in the day before the fight, Broner was stripped of the belt after he tipped the scales at 133.5 pounds—a whopping three and a half pounds over the contracted limit. Then, in sheer audacity, Broner refused a second attempt at making weight, reportedly drinking water in the meantime to rehydrate.
The following day, a disgusted Escobedo watched as Broner had ballooned to 148 pounds with mere hours remaining before the fight. (Escobedo had risen to 140 pounds overnight, as fighters are allowed to return to their regular dietary routines at the conclusion of the weigh-in.)
In most industries, one party's gross misconduct would make it a clear no-brainer for the aggrieved side to refuse to perform. However, this is boxing, a sport devoid of many guarantees except one: If you don't work, you don't eat, unprofessionalism be damned.
Combine that factor with Escobedo's wife Valerie giving birth to Milana, their first child, just one month prior to the bout, and the fighter was cornered into quite the quandary.
When Escobedo's manager Rolando Arellano wisely negotiated with promoter Golden Boy and HBO to double his already career-high original purse of $150,000 (as well as raise his minimum purse for his next fight), the resolution to finally accept the bout was easier—but the former Olympian's body would surely pay the price.
"What made me change my mind was thinking about my wife and my daughter," Escobedo said. "And also, while it wasn't just about the money—if I stepped away I wouldn't have any money, period, so yeah, that was a concern, too—it was about the principle as well. In the end, we went ahead with the decision."
When Broner entered the ring, he was technically two weight classes heavier than his foe. The size discrepancy was apparent from the opening bell as the sublimely skilled but much bigger rival effortlessly walked through Escobedo's punches and bullied him into the ropes.
By the fifth round, Escobedo had been on the receiving end of one too many shots, and trainer Joel Diaz mercifully waved off the one-sided beating. Despite the obvious lack of a fair fight, one won't hear any excuses on the NorCal boxer's end.
"I fought as hard as I could, but it was just that Adrien Broner was the stronger, faster, better fighter that night," Escobedo said.
Following the defeat to Broner, Escobedo sought consultation for surgery to repair his broken nose and deviated septum. After months of recovery and getting back into shape, he is ready for Cherry (30-6-2, 16 KOs), a heavy-handed puncher from Florida. Like Escobedo, the "Cherry Bomb" is a former world title challenger who is hungry to climb back to main event status.
Escobedo has a trump card in his deck; reigning welterweight titleholder Timothy Bradley, who also trains in Coachella under Diaz, defeated Cherry four years ago and has been sharing tips on his upcoming adversary's strengths and weaknesses.
"Got some great sparring today with Timothy Bradley. Feb. 16th in Atlantic City it's on!" Escobedo said on Twitter.
As fate would have it, the Atlantic City card headline bout will feature Broner, who has since ascended to the 135-pound lightweight limit, won the WBC world title, and will now defend it for the first time against Welshman Gavin Rees.
While Escobedo's fight is scheduled to be off-TV, Broner will once again appear on HBO (10:30 p.m. PT). Fighting for respect and another opportunity to crash the 130-pound rankings, "Chente" has all the motivation he needs to show the network suits in attendance that he deserves another shot at the big time.
DONAIRE FILMS McDONALD'S AD, FIGHT STILL UP IN THE AIR
Despite Top Rank president Todd DuBoef informing MaxBoxing.com that junior featherweight world champion Nonito Donaire would open his 2013 campaign against Guillermo Rigondeaux on Apr. 13 in New York City's Radio City Music Hall, the San Leandro star has been mum in announcing he has signed the contract.
Regardless if the bout comes to fruition, Donaire (NorCal No. 2, 31-1, 20 KOs) will be in the Big Apple on Apr. 11 because the Boxing Writers Association of America will present him with their Sugar Ray Robinson Award for Fighter of the Year at their annual banquet.
This week was eventful for Donaire in more ways than one. On Wednesday night, McDonald's released a 30-second spot on their Philippine-affiliated YouTube channel that featured the fighter eating the company's signature French fries.
The fighter took to Twitter to talk about his experience, posting: "Great people and I can't wait to work with them again! I can't thank McDonald's [enough]."
"I must admit, the McDonald's family—from the head people to the director to the stylist—they were all great," added Donaire's wife, Rachel, who is due to give birth to their first child this summer.
Before moving to San Leandro as an adolescent, Donaire was born in the Philippines and grew up in General Santos City, the same hometown as Manny Pacquiao. In fact, Donaire's mother, Imelda, an elementary school teacher, had a young Pacquiao in her class.
The ad is not Donaire's first foray into the acting game. Last year, he starred in a Filipino film called Ta Ang Nagbuot (Our Fate Decides). The script was in Donaire's native Bisaya language, which differs from the Filipino national language of Tagalog. (He speaks both of them fluently.)
[RELATED: VIDEO -- Donaire shows off acting skills on Chronicle Live]
The irony is that while there is no doubt Donaire is the most accomplished fighter at the Undisputed Gym in San Carlos, he isn't the first member there to land a McDonald's deal. Amateur flyweight Marlen Esparza, who received pointers from Donaire before the 2012 Olympics, had her own commercial with the fast-food chain leading up to her trip to London, where she won bronze.
After watching the spot on the internet, Esparza chimed in with her own review.
"I really like it. It's funny!" she told CSNBayArea.com.
Watch Donaire's commercial here.
Speaking of Saturday's HBO card, while Broner will headline against Rees, the original co-feature between heavyweights Johnathon Banks and Seth Mitchell fell through when Banks sustained a broken right thumb in sparring last week.
As a result, promoter Golden Boy and power-wielding adviser Al Haymon used their powers of persuasion with the network to replace the bout with Australia's Sakio Bika (30-5-2, 21 KOs) versus Montenegro's Nikola Sjekloca (25-0, 7 KOs) in a WBC super middleweight world title eliminator.
So why should you, the Northern California boxing fan, care about this fight? The answer is that the winner becomes the mandatory challenger to Oakland's Andre "S.O.G." Ward (NorCal No. 1; 26-0, 14 KOs), the reigning WBC titleholder and universally recognized champion of the division.
Ward, who has been rehabilitating his injured right shoulder at Active Care San Francisco with renowned specialist Lisa Giannone, will then have the option of defending the belt upon his return or vacating it. While Ward has not faced the unheralded Sjekloca in the past, the East Bay star had his way with Bika two years ago in a lopsided decision victory at Oracle Arena.
"We have not even begun to entertain the idea of who Andre will fight next," said Dan Goossen, Ward's promoter. "Right now the focus is on getting that shoulder back to normal so he can continue his dominance over the sport."
Ward also holds the WBA and Ring Magazine's versions of the 168-pound world title, and in this era of fragmentation, the champion makes the belt, not the other way around. Other fighters may have straps around their waist, but the truth is that the division is Ward's until the moment he decides to move up to light heavyweight.
Thus, if "S.O.G." opts for a different challenge, he can't be blamed. At this point in the prime of his career, marquee matchups and paydays are and should be his priority, especially since he has eviscerated all comers so far.
While the WBC endeavors to sort things out at super middleweight, its president, the controversial Jose Sulaiman, hopes that his two top welterweights—titleholder Floyd "Money" Mayweather and interim titleholder Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero—will finally agree to a contract for a May 4 pay-per-view showdown at the Las Vegas MGM Grand.
Last week, Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs) stated through social media that he was close to striking a deal to fight IBF titleholder Devon Alexander—and not Guerrero (NorCal P4P No. 3; 31-1-1, 18 KOs), a Gilroy native.
The utterance sent shockwaves of skepticism through the boxing world, especially since every publication of note had reported that Team Mayweather and Guerrero's handlers at Golden Boy had been negotiating for months, with no mention of Alexander during the process. In fact, sources within Golden Boy confirmed to CSNBayArea.com that the two sides had commenced talks as early as last November.
"Based on what I've always known, there are ongoing negotiations with [Mayweather and] Guerrero—and it's a mandatory fight for both…All I know is that [Mayweather is] going to fight Guerrero, and everything else is just unverifiable," Sulaiman told BoxingScene.com.
Sulaiman, who has been known to use his influence to "gently push" for a fight or two to happen during his 37-plus years in power, is pretty clear what he wants—and that can only be a good sign for "The Ghost", who certainly doesn't wish for this golden opportunity to disappear.
The appropriately dubbed "Money" Mayweather had a $32 million base guarantee for his last fight against Miguel Cotto last May, with other revenue streams, such a cut from the American pay-per-view sales, inflating that number to at least $45 million, according to Forbes.com.
Guerrero broke the $1 million mark for the first time in his career in his brutal win over Andre Berto three months ago, and his figure for this fight has yet to be determined.
If Mayweather-Guerrero comes to fruition, the fans will be treated to a battle between two father-and-son teams. Ruben Guerrero will handle training duties for Robert, while in a surprising move, Floyd Mayweather Sr. will replace his brother Roger, whose health has deteriorated in recent months.
Mayweather Sr. and Jr. have had a contentious relationship in the past that includes an infamous screaming match between them in 2011 that was televised on HBO's "24/7" series.
San Francisco's Karim "Hard Hitta" Mayfield was in talks to fight WBA junior welterweight world titleholder Khabib Allakhverdiev at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on March 30 as a possible HBO-televised co-feature to the rematch between fellow American 140-pounders Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado.
However, both sides could not come to an agreement in time, and instead, the Russian Allakhverdiev (18-0, 8 KOs) will take on Colombia's Breidis Prescott (26-4, 20 KOs), whose claim to fame is knocking out Amir Khan in one round five years ago.
Despite the news, Mayfield (NorCal No. 4; 17-0-1, 10 KOs), who regularly spars with Khan in Hayward under the watchful eye of their trainer, Virgil Hunter, still enjoys a favorable position to land a 140-pound world title shot by the end of the year based on the current WBO rankings.
Juan Manuel Marquez
1. Brandon Rios;
2. Ruslan Provodnikov;
3. Mike Alvarado;
4. Karim Mayfield;
5. Cesar Cuenca
Marquez, who moved up from 140 pounds to the 147-pound welterweight limit to knock out Manny Pacquiao, will probably vacate the WBO belt to fight Pacquiao a fifth time.
In fact, the WBO is putting the interim world title belt on the line for Rios-Alvarado II, with the winner getting elevated to full status in the event Marquez ultimately abdicates the throne. In addition, Provodnikov will ascend to welterweight on March 16 to meet Timothy Bradley.
That leaves Mayfield is the next available contender at No. 4, which means if Marquez and Provodnikov stay north at 147 pounds, then The City pugilist would theoretically be next in line to meet the Rios-Alvarado winner, either directly or though a title elimination bout for the would-be vacant No. 1 contender spot.
"I'm ready to fight for a world title," Mayfield said. "But I want negotiations to be fair, too."
For the 32-year-old Mayfield, who made his successful debut on HBO last October by outslugging Mauricio Herrera on points, it's time for "The Hard Hitta" to get a chance to swing the wood against some championship-caliber opposition in 2013.
College boxing's answer to March Madness is drawing near, and Santa Clara University will host one of the final local cards this weekend before the National Collegiate Boxing Association tournament begins. The card will take place at the Sunnyvale PAL gym, which is located on the same property as the Trinity Church. Several local programs will send contingents, including San Jose State, Cal, and USF.

Had this article been published three to five years ago, the target audience would likely have been medical, bioprocess, or pharmaceutical biotechnologists focused on applying systems biology to areas such as regulatory responses in cell signaling pathways, protein expression, or the rational design of novel therapeutic agents. Today, however, the target audience for systems biology has expanded to include biotech and bioprocess development groups. The tools of this field now impact the design of cell factories used by major bulk, intermediate, and specialty chemical manufacturing companies, often including petroleum manufacturers and refiners.
What is the motivation behind industrial biotechnology's recent penetration into the chemical manufacturing world? The cost of petroleum increased nearly 150% between January 2001 and 2006 from $22/bbl to $55/bbl. Global energy consumption is projected to increase by 57% to 681 trillion MJ between 2002 and 2025. The rapidly emerging economies of China, India, and Russia (2005 GDP growth rates of 9.9%, 7.6%, and 6.4%, respectively, compared to the average world GDP growth rate of 4.7%) are consuming energy sources at a record pace. These trends are driving traditional chemical manufacturing companies to fight against strong competition for their primary feedstock, petroleum.
Petroleum products refined from crude oil are generally classified into three categories: transportation fuels, finished nonfuel products, and feedstock for the chemical industry. In 2005 more than 75% of all petroleum was converted and sold as fuel, while less than 5% served as feedstock.
As most process development and manufacturing groups will agree, the startup of a new process often involves significant capital and operating expenses that over time, with improvements in technology, gains in operating efficiencies, and release of second-generation processes, will decrease.
As the process matures the largest cost fraction will be the raw materials. The industry is faced with a significant challenge in identifying sustainable raw materials that can be used in cost-effective, robust, and high end-product yield, titer, productivity, and quality processes. Industrial biotechnology coupled with recent developments in the fields of systems biology and metabolic engineering is offering such processes.
Industrial biotechnology, often referred to as white biotechnology in Europe, is the conversion of biomass via biocatalysis using microbial fermentation or enzyme catalysis to produce chemicals, materials, and/or energy. Here, we define biomass as an organic-based polymer resulting from photosynthetic carbon fixation (typically CO2), which in monomer form may include glucose, xylose, galactose, mannose, or similar monosaccharide.
Industrial biotechnology is by no means a new field. Fermentation processes for antibiotics, vitamins, organic acids, and amino acids are well established.
In each of these examples, host organisms well suited for production of the target compound were naturally isolated. Furthermore, under controlled environments, random mutagenesis followed by screening, selection, and traditional bioprocess development were used to enhance production yields, titers, productivities, and robustness. This method while providing little to no mechanistic understanding of which specific genetic perturbations lead to improved strains so that they could be further exploited, has proven to be commercially successful.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, with recombinant DNA technology emerging from medical biotechnology, we witnessed expression of compounds previously produced via synthetic routes now being attempted in production organisms. This was made possible by the introduction of genetic sequences encoding for enzymes that were likely to catalyze desired reactions or the deletion of genes that would down-regulate undesired reactions and pathways. These approaches were largely hypothesis driven, resource intensive, and low-throughput. Such methods thus minimized the probability of successfully identifying a genotype that would elicit a significantly improved phenotype.

The major goal of this research initiative is to build a pilot computational code for the simulation and visualization of black holes at Marshall University. The code will be used in developing original simulations and visualizations with the purpose of exploring improved solutions to specific "outer boundary" problems arising from natural limitations of the computational domain.
This research involves undergraduate students who are monitoring the simulation runs, and developing visual displays of the computer simulations. This part of the research is separable from the more abstract problem of implementing the outer boundary algorithms. "Visualization" is a very important part of numerical simulation research, because it offers both great technical insights and qualitative understanding of what works and what does not work.

- on the ground, starlings walk rather than hop
Hear it
A skilled mimic that harkens from a love of Shakespeare.
In Henry IV, Shakespeare wrote, "I'll have a starling taught to say nothing but 'Mortimer,' and I'll give it to him to keep his anger still in motion." That line resulted in a North American starling population that numbers approximately 200 million. Starlings are common in urban areas and are often seen in flocks of hundreds. Their nests, usually in holes in trees or buildings, are stuffed with vegetation, feathers and other assorted objects. The female birds usually lay four or five eggs per year. The starling is a member of the mynah family and is a skilled mimic. Its usual voice is a mixture of gargles and squawks, but it can also mimic other birds including predators like the Bald Eagle.
Impact on Communities and Native Species
The European Starling is a notorious competitor and will aggressively lay claim to native bird nesting sites, kicking out the resident birds and their eggs. They compete with native birds for space and food, but also carry disease, ticks and mites that are spread to native bird species and even humans. Starlings are a threat to farmers since flocks of birds can wipe out crops. They particularly like fruits with high fructose content, and Fraser Valley blueberry farmers have been plagued with starling flocks which can decimate a third of a crop.
Invasion History
In 1890, a theatre fanatic set 60 starlings free into New York's Central Park. His dream was to introduce in North America all of the birds mentioned in Shakespeare's work. After several failed attempts, starlings survived and thrived and now have spread across almost the entire continent. The birds are native to Europe and Asia and were first sighted in British Columbia in 1945.They have since expanded to most of the province but are most common in the south and central regions.

Most oxyphototrophs use visible light (VIS, 400–700 nm) for chlorophyll (Chl) a-driven photosynthesis, while cyanobacteria in the genus Acaryochloris largely employ Chl d, thereby enabling them to use near-infrared radiation (NIR, >700 nm) for oxygenic photosynthesis1,2. Two of the strains are well described in their growth and photopigment composition: The type strain Acaryochloris marina MBIC11017 was isolated from the didemnid ascidian Lissoclinum patella from coral reefs habitats in Palau2,3 and was later genome sequenced4. The other strain, HICR111A, originates from swipes of coral substrate collected on Heron Island, Australia and was also genome sequenced5. Since its first discovery, other Acaryochloris strains have been obtained from Japanese macroalgae (strain Awaji6), from surfaces in a hypertrophic lake in the US (strain CCMEE54107), and most recently from Australian mangroves8 (strain MPGRS1) and stromatolites in Shark Bay, Western Australia9 (ssball1).
The light microenvironment in natural habitats occupied by Acaryochloris spp. has a high contribution of NIR relative to visible light10–12 and such habitats appear to create similar niche differentiation with bacteria carrying specialized photopigments such as Chl d/f or bacteriochlorophylls10,13. The notion of a global distribution of Chl d and cyanobacteria in the genus Acaryochloris11,14 further reinforces the need to obtain information on the photobiology of Chl d-containing oxyphototrophs. Understanding the adaptive mechanisms in oxyphototrophs capable of using wavelengths beyond VIS is of interest as it provides information concerning the usability, stress levels and limitations associated with NIR-driven oxygenic photosynthesis.
Of all biological pathways, photosynthetic electron transport is particularly prone to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the very high (positive) redox potential of the primary donor of photosystem II, needed to oxidize water, and the low redox potential of the primary electron acceptor of photosystem I, needed to reduce ferredoxin; here, singlet oxygen (1O2), is produced by PSII and superoxide anions (-O2)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the Mehler, ascorbate peroxidase (MAP) pathway of PSI15–17. ROS encompasses the production of singlet oxygen, superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals (OH), all of which are derived through the local energization of O2. If not properly quenched by protective mechanisms, ROS can damage proteins, DNA and other cellular macromolecules, and this damage can ultimately lead to cell death. Known quenching mechanisms encompass enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase or non-enzymatic antioxidants like glutathione, carotenoids and α-tocopherol (vitamin E)18. In plants, ROS and in particular1O2 production has been shown to occur at photosystem II upon illumination with visible light19,20. In cyanobacteria, shorter wavelengths such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR, <400 nm), are known to induce ROS, causing DNA damage, lipid-peroxidation and overall decreased photosynthetic efficiency21,22. To our knowledge no study has investigated the effect of NIR on ROS production in cyanobacteria.
Relative levels of ROS can be estimated through measurements of e.g. gene expression23, ROS sensitive fluorescence probes24 and enzyme activity25. These methods provide integrated values of ROS production over incubation time intervals ranging from minutes to hours. In this study we used a fast and sensitive laser photo-acoustic gas detector26 that can measure the ethylene produced from the reaction of certain types of ROS with the substrate 2-keto-4-thiomethylbutyric acid (KMBA), previously added to the samples. Such near real-time ROS detection is valuable in determining the immediate effect of treatments on the physiological state and stress level within living organisms. KMBA is thought to diffuse into intact cells27 and, when supplied at saturating concentrations outcompetes other radical scavenging mechanisms. In the KMBA assay, the butyric acid moiety is known to react with the ROS peroxynitrite, hydroxyl radicals and peroxyl radicals28, resulting in the formation of ethylene, which can then be quantified. Whether singlet oxygen and superoxide anions react with KMBA and subsequently form ethylene has not been investigated yet. In other studies, KMBA has been used to test the antioxidant capacity of radical scavengers via their ability to inhibit ethylene formation relative to a control reaction (total oxyradical scavenging capacity, TOSC)28,29.
In this study, we report the effect of light intensity and spectral composition on ROS generation, as measured in real-time using a laser-photoacoustic gas detector in three different strains of NIR utilizing cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Acaryochloris, including a new strain (named Acaryochloris CRS), isolated from phototrophic biofilms growing on dead coral branches collected on Heron Island, Australia.

Amarillo police are investigating the Monday morning shooting death of a man at an Amarillo motel.
Officers responded at 2:18 a.m. to a 911 call of a shooting at the Executive Inn, 2100 S. Coulter Road.
Lt. Gary Trupe said officers discovered Eric Suess, 47, lying at the bottom of a stairwell. The man, who was wearing sleeping attire, had been shot in the torso. Suess is from the Dallas area.
The victim was taken to Northwest Texas Hospital, where he died during surgery at 4:26 a.m.
Justice of the Peace Haven Dysart ordered an autopsy, which will be conducted today in Lubbock.
Trupe said officers are seeking an unidentified man and a woman who fled from the scene in a pickup. He said Suess was a contract worker who had been in Amarillo for several days.

text: Autonomy, according to researchers, means separateness and a healthy degree of independence - the ability to stand on one's own two feet and function well in the world. In the healthiest of marital relationships, each partner has a clear and distinct sense of self, and the inevitable conflicts are negotiated effectively. Marriage therapists watch whether each spouse displays autonomy - by fearlessly expressing opinions and accepting personal responsibility - and also whether the two support each other's autonomy, by listening with respect to each other's point of view rather than invalidating, tuning out or blaming.
