Tara Enedy and a group of her friends have been going to the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society's Pints for Pets Brewfest since it began seven years ago.
"Initially we went because we heard it was a fundraiser for the humane society," the Hollidaysburg resident said.
"But now we go for the beer," she added with a laugh.

The crowd at last year's Pints for Pets Brewfest reached nearly 3,000 people over two sessions.
A representative for Rivertowne Brewing Company pours a glass of their Hala Kahiki pineapple ale.
Enedy, 41, described herself as "a wine drinker," but said Pints for Pets had opened her up to a lot of beers that have made their way into her refrigerator. Two of her favorite discoveries were Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy and Angry Orchard's line of hard ciders.
"I always find something new that ends up in my regular rotation [of purchases]," she said.
There will be more beers to try than ever at this year's Pints for Pets, presented by Servicemaster by Ryan, scheduled for May 10 at People's Natural Gas Field in Altoona. This year's event - once again held in two sessions, from 1 to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 9 p.m. - featured 99 different brewers at press time, most of whom will bring several beers.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Pints for Pets Brewfest, presented by Servicemaster by Ryan, benefiting the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society
When: 1 to 4 p.m. or 6 to 9 p.m. May 10
Where: People's Natural Gas Field, Altoona
Admission: $35 for first session and $40 for second session. Tickets are available at pintsforpets.com or in person at Brew Zoo and Al's Tavern in Altoona, at Pletchers Beer Distributor in State College and the Argonne Cafe in Hollidaysburg
Notice: No one under age 21 will be admitted under any circumstance. No pets are allowed. You may attend one session but not both.
"We're looking at probably a record number of brewers," said Rick Vanevenhoven, the event chairman. "We're approaching 100, which would be a record. ...
"I'd say we're the biggest brewfest in central and western Pennsylvania at this point."
Each year, the event has brought in more money for the humane society.
"We raised $90,000 last year. Our goal is $100,000 this year, which would be another record," Vanevenhoven said. "A lot of people think that's a tremendous amount of money, but that actually just supports the shelter for one to two months."
The event's goals should be in reach, considering the event gets more popular each year.
"Our attendance last year was just under 3,000," Vanevenhoven said. "We have expanded our footprint again this year. We're not just going down the third base line, but we're expanding down the first base line this year. So we're expecting more than 3,000 people this year."
But the Brewfest organizers are very careful each year to not try to grow too large.
"We have to very carefully monitor the number of people," Vanevenhoven said. "We do limit our ticket sales so it doesn't get so crowded as to limit the enjoyment of the event itself. If you can't get to the beer, what's the point?"
This year's exhibitors include a number of smaller brewers - including brew pubs (restaurants who have their own breweries) and "nano-brewers." Vanevenhoven defined nano-brewers as individual brewers who produce only very small batches.
One new attendee this year is the Robin Hood Brewing Company, based in Bellefonte. Robin Hood Brewing grew out of the Bellefonte and State College restaurant Home D Pizzeria, a Centre County fixture for decades.
"We had a game room in our Bellefonte location and looked at the revenue that was generating and thought it was a great place to put in the brewery," said Kelly Swisher, director of sales and marketing for Robin Hood Brewing. 'We basically opened up last November. We have a seven-and-a-half barrel brewing system."
Despite the brewery's youth, they've already produced many beers and will be bringing four varieties to Pints for Pets - King Richard Red Ale, Bulls IPA, LJ Lager and F. tuck Porter. Pints for Pets will be the brewery's first chance to exhibit outside of its own restaurants.
"This one will be our first [brewfest]," Swisher said. "We're really excited, especially because of the proximity."
This year's Pints for Pets will be much like the years before with brewers lined up and down the ballpark concourse and music played by local bands. This year's bands are Tree and Body & Soul for the first session and Locked and Loaded and Chris Vipond and the Stanley Street Band for the second session.
"The formula works, so we don't want to mess with it," Vanevenhoven said.
And it's a formula that brings Enedy and her friends back each year.
"It's really so much fun to try all those different beers," she said. "The brewers are so friendly and are willing to talk to you for a long time. I always run into people I know ... It's like the best small town bar ever."

Reviews for Piedmont Wildlife Center
My son has enjoyed being a camper for the last few years and a "junior counselor" last summer. He has had a great time and we've seen his patience and leadership skills come out as he learns to engage and help the younger kids. It seems to be a place where all kids feel welcome and cared about and where they feel free to explore the outdoors and play fun and active group games. Thank you!

Piedmont Wildlife Center engages children, teens and adults to participate in outdoor activities that involve learning about the animals and natural habitats within central North Carolina. Plus, they take the time to answer hundreds of calls every month from people who ask about what to do with found injured wildlife or baby animals and give the callers specific instructions depending on the circumstances. I was overly impressed with the knowledge of the staff and their desire to encourage people to take an interest in the environment living around them.

The growth in interested participants is wonderful. Children and teens particularly are drawn to the youth programs. It is wonderful to see so many youth enjouying outside away from tvs, cell phones and gameboys when they are at PWC.

I had some good experiences volunteering at Piedmont Wildlife Center as I felt I was contributing and there are nice people there, but when I set a limit against doing any (and usually last minute) administrative task (I didn't sign up for that), which seemed to pop into one leader's head while I wasn't given the information I needed to do my agreed upon tasks, I realized this area of administration is probably running along a rut, and I needed to leave. The Center seems to have two strong programs, with each leader very focused on their interest. So, for example, if you want to volunteer to work with raptors, you are likely to have a good experience. There aren't many volunteer roles for the Center's biggest strength, youth and teen camps and adult workshops, but the education director does take time to listen to and support the volunteers and interns as much as her schedule allows. Other areas mentioned in the Center's mission statement are run chaotically. I heard (summer '10) the mission statement is being revised, so perhaps these challenges will be addressed with the changes. For now, I only recommend accepting short-term, group volunteer assignments. The special projects coordinator, a volunteer, does a good job leading group tasks such as grounds maintenance.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I've learned how to share with the community how to assess how to best help an injured wild animal; for example whether the animal should be moved, a rehabilitator called, etc.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Provide better general management and allow the interests and passions of staff members to channel into the specific roles for which they have skills and enthusiasm.

After meeting with the Board several times and completing a fair amount of web research, I joined the Board. My experience is that the group is very dedicated to wildlife and educating the public. The Center's outreach programs are exceptional at providing personal and hands-on education to all ages. The staff and volunteer time and energy committment is amazing.

I assume you mean that are you going to delegate a particular zone
*instead* of forwarding. The terminology "forward using delegation" is a
little confusing because "forwarding" in BIND terms is separate and
distinct from iterative-resolution-via-following-delegations.
The big difference will be that your queries will be non-recursive.
The main impact of this is that if there are any descendant (i.e. child,
grandchild, etc.) zones whose published nameservers are *unreachable*
from your nameservers, you won't be able to resolve them. Presumably if
any such unreachable zones exists, you are currently depending on the
apex nameservers to recursively resolve names in all descendant zones.
E.g. if you're currently forwarding child.example.com, that might also
allow you resolve grand.child.example.com names, even if you can't reach
the published grand.child.example.com nameservers directly. If you stop
forwarding and merely delegate child.example.com, then you may need to
create explicit forward-only definitions for any unreachable descendants
such as grand.child.example.com. Reachable descendant zones should
resolve fine, and in fact should be more resolved more efficiently, and
be more resilient to outages, than your current forwarding setup.
Another potential impact of your queries becoming non-recursive, is if
the delegated nameservers are doing convoluted stuff like
"recursion-only" views. But that's unlikely. You might want to check
with them though.

Ice Princess
- Directed by Tim Fywell
===Story=== Brainy Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg) has never quite fit in. Caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother (Joan Cusack), who has her on the fast track to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen (Hayden Panettiere) - three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly competing on the US Figure Skating circuit (and have attitudes to match). But when Casey gets the chance to train with Gen and her coach, a disgraced former skating champion who also happens to be Gen's mother (Kim Cattrall), she must dash her own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver (Trevor Blumas), Casey takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."

Last week's episode in which Ketchum helped place an op-ed piece by Russian President Vladimir Putin in The New York Times has shined a less-than-flattering spotlight on the PR profession.
In the Putin article, titled, "A Plea For Caution From Russia," Putin seeks a solution to the violence in Syria. "Recent events have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders," Putin writes, adding that a U.S. strike against Syria "would increase violence and unleash a new wave of terrorism."
Ketchum's role in placing the op-ed was first reported by BuzzFeed.
According to Justice Department filings, Ketchum was reportedly paid $1.9 million by the Russian government during the first six months of this year. It got another $3.7 million for public relations work for Gazprom, the oil and gas company controlled by the Kremlin.
"The opinion piece was written by President Putin and submitted to The New York Times on his behalf by Ketchum for their consideration," said Jackie Burton, Ketchum's senior VP of external relations, in a statement.
She added, "Ketchum's work with the Russian Federation began in 2006 during Russia's Presidency of the G8 Summit that took place in St. Petersburg. Our role has continued, with a focus on facilitating the relationship between representatives of The Russian Federation and the western media."
She would not comment any further on the op-ed piece in the Times.
However, I'm curious about the reaction to the letter within the PR industry, or, more precisely, the lack thereof.
Sure, I can easily picture communications professionals debating Ketchum's role in placing Putin piece, and comments would likely range from whether Ketchum has set the PR industry back to defending the agency. What, exactly, does Ketchum have to apologize for?
But that's inside baseball. What about the consumers who have been following the story? What was their takeaway from Ketchum acting on behalf of Putin? There are well-established perceptions about the moral ambiguities of PR. This underscores that perception—PR people serve as mouthpieces for anyone and they do it for a price.
The industry could have taken the window afforded by the Putin article to explain why Ketchum's work on behalf of Russia is fair game in PR and address why some people may have a problem with it.
However, a spokeswoman for the Pubic Relations Society of America (PRSA) told PR News that the PRSA would have no comment on Ketchum's action and is "neutral" on the subject.
That's unfortunate, particularly in light of the negative impression many people already harbor about public relations.
The PRSA could have sent out a media advisory to broadcasters, media companies and publishers offering the industry's perspective on the Ketchum episode. It also could have provided some context about PR compared with other marketing disciplines, such as advertising.
That opportunity is now lost. The chance to explain to the world why PR does what it does is lost. The chance to talk about what PR is and how it's changing and work to correct inaccurate stereotypes about the PR field is gone.
Responding to the episode could have changed the narrative about PR, however slightly. But now the song will remain the same. Until the next dustup, that is.

Recently I wrote about iPads and other Apple systems being deployed in learning institutions. Here is a NZ example in more detail. Auckland's Unitec Institute of Technology is in the fourth year of an institute-wide eLearning strategy, and now the scheme is moving more rapidly into implementation in various areas of the campus. A lot of this hinges on a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach for both staff and students, to fit into a coherent curriculum approach across the institution. The key to the strategy is sorting the teaching and learning environment first and then identifying tools and technology to support learning goals.
James Oldfield, a senior lecturer at the Department of Accounting and Finance, took the initiative to pilot the possibilities of eLearning, with the result that his department is probably the most mature in the development of programme-wide BYOD.
Linda Keesing-Styles, Dean of Teaching and Learning, points out that the campus-wide strategy is BYOD, but James recommended the iPad for his department. Many other courses will be non device specific. "But James has been very particular with his students."
In 2010, James' department shipped some of the first iPads over from Australia to evaluate them against netbooks. "A lot of positive feedback there led us to experimenting further with our staff, and between then and the start of this year, I've been working on a model for teaching with mobile devices called Mobile Authentic Learning." This is based upon an educational model called Authentic Learning, then layering mobile learning principles over the top. "That culminated in me working with my class three semesters in a row with all the students loaned an iPad for the whole semester [for an Informational Systems course]. We replaced the textbooks with a series of iBooks I created with iBooks Author." The course changed the way the assessment works by taking away exams and replacing them with assignments that were more realistic, with "tasks they'd be performing in the real world."
"In addition to that, all of the in-class activities of the course have utilised the iPad. It's a technology-based course, and we chose the iPad for a number of reasons for that initial pilot, we've had such positive feedback from the students that we've now got to the point that we've mandated students to have access to an iPad for the first five courses of our degree."
Students are encouraged to buy them. James pointed out that the textbooks students were formerly required to buy came to about the same price as an iPad mini with Retina Display - with the new iBook textbooks available for the first four courses free, the outlay is the same: the cost of one has been traded off against the other.
"For the particular program, the Bachelor of Business Program, for us, our context and our students, the iPad seemed to be the most logical choice. This device has become quite prominent. It's the leading device in education and business, according to the last lot of surveys that I've looked at, so for our students learning how to use one of these seems to be more applicable than learning one of the other platforms.
"It's also got benefits for us in terms of security, so we don't have to worry quite so much about virus threats with iPads. They're very reliable, so they get high consumer satisfaction results. The iBooks platform is excellent for developing content, so that's enabled us to pursue our strategy of developing content internally, to make this strategy more affordable.
"Effectively, we've worked along the lines that this is our highly-recommended device. In a normal course, you might have a recommended or required textbook; there will still be some students who don't buy the textbook ... [but] People are used to dealing with textbooks so this is really no different at a base level, plus you get all the advantages of the other things the device can do."
Unitec organised a deal with JB HiFi for student iPads. Apple has a student scheme in which a buyer gets an iTunes voucher for content (apps etc). JB put together some bundles at special prices for the Unitec students, including accessories like iPad cases. JB also offers interest-free buying schemes.
Linda acknowledges the issues. "Over the period of time that we've been moving to the BYOD and Mobile Learning, we were really concerned in the early days about issues of equity and access for students. But it became very clear to us from very early on that the students wished to own their own devices, and in most cases had them already." If they don't, the conversation is around the iPad being a different tool to a textbook and other student tools. The cost can be added to student loans and offset in various ways. "So it's never been a barrier, but if it is, we have a small pool of loan devices." Unitec itself offers several grants that can be tapped in cases where additional support is required.
The iBooks James developed have all sorts of different types of embedded content in them - it's one of the strengths of the platform. Unitec could, conceivably, sell some of these (or parts thereof) into other institutions' courses in future. He likes the format as he can repurpose chapters into publications to suit different needs, as can outside iBook textbook publishers - some already do. "Our students should save money in the long run."
But James presents with his iPad too, using AirPlay. His classes have 48 seats grouped around round tables, all connected wirelessly to a projector that shows where everyone can see. James can show them things on his iPad, and students can take turns to do the same on theirs. For this they use Apple's Keynote, and the third-party app Prezi among others. "AirPlay is a really great protocol. It's Apple-only, but it works really well, so students can easily just flip up the Control Center and display their content, for sharing and generating discussion."
He doesn't use the iPad alone, although he finds himself using it a lot. James needs a MacBook Pro to develop the iBooks.
James is pleased Microsoft has finally made Office available for iPad, and all Unitec students get free Office 365 accounts. "We do a lot of cloud-based work." This has been a bit of a mishmash so far: Dropbox, Google drive, iCloud ... but Unitec is developing a more coordinated cloud platform for the future.
Linda adds that James has "Shifted the learning demand for students. What he's doing is working students into the authentic business environment... right from the beginning he's giving them a capstone simulated industry experience they'd normally wait three years for."
In James' particular course, the students are also sometimes required to use PCs (not Macs). Coursework is submitted online, with the exception of a poster project which has to be printed - the sole printed page in the whole course. But even this is brought to life with augmented reality - view the poster though a device and you might see video, words appearing, animations, maps ... the image is the trigger; it's cutting edge stuff. James appreciates the fact that the use of devices also helps engage the students, at the same time as readying them for the business environments they are being schooled for. In some cases, the students are ahead of what's being used in business, but this will ultimately be good for the businesses too.
James and Linda both emphasise the reason that the reason the iPad rollout went so well is the time putting into the scheme, and the initial capability development of the teachers, but even so they feel it has been a relatively quick transformation.

INWOOD - It took two overtimes for the Hampshire Trojans to upset the Musselman Applemen with a 49-42 win Monday on Cline Court.
After trailing by 10 at halftime, the Trojans almost knocked off the Applemen in regulation before outlasting them in two extra periods.
"It was a great ballgame. Both teams just laid it out on the line, and there is a lot of good things to say about both teams," Hampshire coach Al Straley said. "We just picked our defense and started making some shots."

Screams of joy came from the Trojans' locker room after the game as Hampshire celebrated, but Musselman's mood was the polar opposite.
"It's an embarrassment. We quit midway through the second quarter. Yeah, we played a few possessions in the second half, but a few possessions don't make a game," Musselman coach Amanda Burge said.
While the Applemen found themselves on the wrong end of the score at the end of the game, they spent the first half with a firm grasp on the lead.

Hampshire's Larissa Sowers, left, slashes to the basket as Musselman's Nicole Dusing defends Monday night in Inwood.
The Applemen offense quickly made its impact as Nichole Henderson spearheaded an 8-0 run to start the game.
Musselman's defense forced two quick turnovers and kept the Trojans off the board for the first five minutes.
Hampshire was finally able to break up the scoring run by the Applemen, but the Trojans found themselves trailing 12-4 at the end of the first quarter.
The Trojans' defense switched to a fullcourt trap to start the second quarter, which forced five Musselman turnovers before the half.
When the Applemen broke through the press, Hampshire's 2-3 defense slowed Musselman but couldn't stop the Applemen from adding a few more points to their lead as they went into the locker room up 21-11.
The press and the miscues continued to trouble the Applemen in the third quarter, as they started off with four straight turnovers.
The Trojans were finally able to take advantage of the additional possessions as they started the second half on an 8-2 run to cut into the Musselman lead.
Hampshire had the deficit cut down to as little as four as it continued to frustrate the Applemen. The Trojans trailed 27-21 at the end of three quarters.
"They went in to a zone, and that slowed up down, but we were lackadaisical on offense and didn't try to penetrate," Burge said.
Both teams struggled offensively to start the fourth quarter, but Hampshire found its footing first and jumped out on a 8-2 run to tie the game at 29-29.
The Hampshire zone continued to stifle the Applemen, forcing them to hold on to the ball and settle for contested shots.
Hampshire took the lead when Bethany Barnes knocked down a jumper from the top of the key. Sierrah Bloomquist followed with a pair of free throws to give the Trojans a three- point lead.
"Under pressure, I had to be confident about myself and make my shots," Barnes said.
But a last second shot by Musselman's Stacey Potter from beyond the arc tied the game up at 33-33 and sent it into overtime.
The first overtime wasn't enough time to settle the contest as Hampshire took a narrow lead, but the Applemen's Henderson knocked down two free throws to tie the game at 42-42 and send the game into a second overtime.
Musselman was unable to score a single point in the second overtime, while the Trojans were able to knock down seven of their eight free throws to take home a 49-42 victory.

A disabled father of five tried to stop a man from breaking out the windows of his daughter's car and was stabbed to death for his efforts early Saturday.
Oscar Ibarra, 19, faces a first-degree murder charge in the stabbing death of Patrick Wilson, 41. Police allege Ibarra killed Wilson outside Wilson's southeast Des Moines home shortly before 3:50 a.m. Saturday, police said.
Ibarra fled the scene and was later located at his parents' home, when his elders called police and said the teenager would turn himself in peacefully.
"This is a rare situation where we had total cooperation," said Sgt. Chris Scott, Des Moines police spokesman. "The neighbors talked to us. The people at the party talked to us. The victim's family helped us and the suspect's family helped us. Justice was served."
The homicide followed a brief verbal argument between Wilson and Ibarra outside Wilson's home in the 700 block of East Dunham Avenue.
Wilson went outside to confront Ibarra, who appeared drunk and had allegedly broken windows out of a car belonging to Wilson's daughter.
Wilson's daughter and Ibarra were passing acquaintances, but not dating or even friends, Scott said.
Wilson "was going out to protect his daughter," said Wilson's widow, Christy Wilson. "He was just being a father."
Patrick Wilson suffered from a disease similar to multiple sclerosis, which limited his mobility, Christy Wilson said. Her husband had no intentions of a physical confrontation.
Ibarra allegedly had a different idea, police said. He stabbed Wilson multiple times. Christy Wilson rushed to husband's side. She was with him when he was pronounced dead at Mercy Medical Center, she said.
"I just don't understand it," she said. "It doesn't make sense."
Patrick Wilson was born and raised in south Des Moines and attended Lincoln High School, where he met his wife.
The couple had been together for 16 years and married for the last 11. They had five children ages 21 to 13, two each from previous relationships, and a 13-year-old son together.
Wilson was a regular at the sandwich counter at B&B Grocery Meat and Delhi at Southeast Sixth Street and Hartford Avenue, where he joyously consumed the store's famed Killer Meat sandwiches and chatted with owners, Christy Wilson said.
Patrick Wilson worked in construction and as as a welder before his illness forced him to go on disability.
"He was a proud father and hardworking man," Christy Wilson said. Our family "is really leaning on each other right now. Sometimes it just doesn't seem real."
Funeral arrangements are pending with Hamilton's Southtown Funeral Home.
Wilson's death was the second homicide in as many days in the metro area and the second homicide in 2011 in Des Moines. Cyrus Hicks, 24, was shot in the head and killed outside an apartment building near 29th Street and Boston Avenue March 3. No arrest have been made in that case.

It's hard to believe but Riverdance, the worldwide phenomenon, celebrates 21 years in production this week.
Riverdance first burst onto the stage as an interval act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, taking the audience in the Point Depot and television viewers by storm, and the show's producers have never looked back.
A whole new genre of entertainment was born 21 years ago and 25 million audience members later Riverdance still astonishes globally.
Moya Doherty writes in the Irish Independent that "Riverdance became a joyous celebration of the Irish character which millions around the world were allowed to share."
From the haunting vocals of anúna, to the graceful elegance of Jean Butler, to the explosive entrance of Michael Flatley, Riverdance was an immediate smash and all these years later the effects are still being felt.
Riverdance's producers would like to hear from people about where they were when it first took to the stage and also from dancers inspired by Riverdance over the last 21 years. Get in touch through #riverdance20 or via the website riverdance.com.

Though most University of Michigan students have fled Ann Arbor to enjoy spring break this week, Pierpont Commons on North Campus on Tuesday was bustling with people, including some Hollywood stars.
• Ann Arbor Convention Bureau seeing stars, as in Hollywood movies
Actresses Hilary Swank and Minnie Driver were filming scenes for the feature film "Betty Anne Waters," under the guidance of director Tony Goldwyn, who most famously played the villain in "Ghost."
The Commons' main aisleway was clogged with equipment carts; a tall, black screen; and men with headphones watching monitors. Beyond this, more than 100 college-aged extras stood quiet and still, waiting for crew members to once again call out, "Rolling!" - at which point the extras would walk in a long circle, thus providing backdrop for a student union scene in "Waters." (A set on the upper level of the Commons was slated for duty as a law school library later in the day.)
U-M senior Adriana Rewald saiid the call time for extras on Tuesday was 8 a.m.
"Most of it's waiting," Rewald said, during a 3 p.m. lunch break during which she returned to the extras holding area. "It's been interesting. I was around for spring break anyway, and I had nothing else to do today."
She hadn't seen either Swank or Driver during her unpaid shift, but U-M senior Jack Taylor had better luck on Monday, when he worked as an extra in an Angell Hall lecture room.
Taylor's hoping to pursue a career in film, so he viewed his experience as a learning opportunity. "It was great to be on a working set and actually see the inner workings of it," he said. "You wouldn't think that it would take that much to accomplish a shot, but it does."

Is it any good?
I downloaded the fileset, but there's no readme file, so no instructions what to do.
Tried run.bat and a window opens, but even though I specified my incoming POP3 server address, and clicked the START button, and that appears to operate, I see no result.
Anyone know how to make it work?

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Scorpion-venom peptide technology will be used to develop new anticancer conjugates.[Eclipse Digital-Fotolia.com]
Eisai's Morphotek subsidiary has acquired specific assets relating to TransMolecular's tumor-targeting peptide (TTP) drug delivery platform. The deal gives Morphotek ownership of the TTP platform for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The firm says it aims to work with other units in the Eisai Product Creation Systems network to develop TTP conjugates for treating a range of cancers. Financial details of the transaction include an up-front fee and future development milestones paid to TransMolecular's shareholders.
The TTP platform is based on a scorpion venom-derived peptide that can be harnessed to deliver conjugated radionucleotides, chemotoxins, nanoparticles, and optical dyes directly to tumor cells, Morphotek explains. The tumor-targeting capabilities of the peptide and its derivatives have been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies, Morphotek points out.
"The acquisition of the TransMolecular tumor-targeting platform is yet another step in our evolution to become a leader in developing disease-specific compounds that can target disease cells and/or treat the underlying cause of a targeted disease," remarks Hideki Hayashi, chief product creation officer at Eisai. "Our strategy is to continue to pursue access to new cutting-edge technologies that will enable us to further support our current and future pipeline objectives."
TransMolecular says selling its assets to Morphotek will benefit its investors and maximize the potential for the TTP platform. "We have great confidence in Morphotek's ability to develop innovative therapies created from TransMolecular's broadly enabling platform technology," comments Curt LaBelle, one of the firm's directors.
Morphotek is a clinical-stage biopharma leveraging its existing Morphodoma whole-genome evolution technology and Libradoma antibody library platforms to antibody therapeutics against cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases.

Speaking with Barbara Walters for an episode of ABC's 20/20, which airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET, Irwin reveals that she learned of her husband's death in a phone call from her brother-in-law. "I remember thinking, 'Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it,' " she tells Walters. "I looked out the window and (daughter) Bindi was skipping, skipping along outside the window. And I thought, 'Oh, my children.' He wouldn't have wanted to leave the children."
Irwin says she has not seen footage of the stingray attack, nor does she want anyone to see it. Asked if it might ever be shown on TV, she replies, "Oh, it won't be. No. No. What purpose would that serve?"
John Stainton, Steve's longtime business partner and friend, who was with him on the day he died, adds: "It should never be aired. It's just a horrible piece of film tape."
In the three weeks since Steve's death, Terri Irwin says she's been living "one minute at a time, sometimes an hour at a time, with great faith, great determination."
Her children – Bindi, 8, and Robert, almost 2 – are her priority, she says, although she's also coming to terms with her own grief. "I'm really trying," she says. "I've lost my prince."

Bindi, who is following in her father's footsteps with a series being developed for the Discovery Network called Bindi the Jungle Girl, was inconsolable at first, Irwin says.
"She cried and cried and cried. And I said, We're still a family. Daddy still loves you. And we have to stay together and get each other through this. We can understand the grief, and we can live with the grief. But we will not be victims of this grief. We will be wildlife warriors like Steve Irwin."

Today's heat will most likely not break records in New Jersey, but some locations are reporting temperatures in excess of 90 degrees, according to state weather officials.
Basking Ridge and Hillsborough have both reported temperatures of 91 degrees, but State Climatologist David Robinson said those locations lack the historical data to say these temps are record setters.
Newark and New Brunswick have reported temperatures slightly below 90 degrees and Robinson said they will most likely not see record heat levels.
The National Weather Service says temperatures in Essex and Union counties are poised to hit 90 today, while Morris, Somerset and Middlesex look to be in the mid-80s. The record high in Newark is 92, set in 2002.
The sweltering heat won't linger for long, though. By Wednesday temperatures will return to the 60s, and the 10-day forecast shows it remaining around there for the coming week.
The unexpected heat today is being felt as far north as Boston, where runners in the city's historic marathon have been told they can sit this year out and get a deferment into next year's race.

The "mainstream media" and Obama are strange bedfellows. For some reason, only one news channel has significantly challenged the Obama administration's involvement in three major scandals until recently! Those scandals include Benghazi gate, IRS snooping into conservative organizations, and Department of Justice snooping into the Associated Press's and Mr. Rosen's news gathering activities. Anyone with a "smidgeon" of intelligence can see through the lying about the Benghazi cause along with his administration's inability to react and protect endangered Americans! Further, the Obama administration's snooping into conservative organizations as well as the press are alarming and challenging to our constitutional liberties! Now that such illegitimate snooping has been exposed, the "mainstream media" is becoming somewhat critical of the Obama administration – what a welcome change!
These scandals are typical of "Chicago style" politics.
Keeping the electorate uninformed by controlling their news detail exposure is irresponsible reporting. It is very unfortunate that unthinking, mentally challenged Americans do not get the facts from a responsible news channel!

Love my SLK
by crome dome from Florida | May 12, 2012
This car is fun and sporty and purrs like a kitten. The breaks and steering are very precise. The car is easy to park but because the front is so low watch out for the curb. The front defroster, elecgtric tilt steering wheel and rear speaker performance are all disapointing . The convertable hardtop disappears like magic. Remember to close the interior shell in the trunk or the top will not close. I keep the running lights on to not get cut off in traffic. Washing the car is snap because of it's compact size. Previously I drove a 2008 GMC pick up and the insurance premium was $60 more for 6 months than the SLK.

SLK300 = Miles of smiles!
by Norfolk_SLK from Northeast NE | October 28, 2011
I have wanted one of these ever since they came out in 1998... So I asked the guy above and saved my money and waited. Bought the car in January 2011 and drove it home, and have not regretted it. the car is solid, safe, fast as I need. This vehicle gets 23-28 in town (18-24 on snow) and 30-34 mpg at 65 with the a/c on arctic on the highway. The performance is fast and sophisticated - if you want a sledgehammer buy the SLK55 AMG! This car is comfortable - I'm 6' 2" and it is adjustable down to anyone smaller. The interior is in my opinion better laid out, roomier and more comfortable than the SL's. The 2011 is the best of the second generation series W172's in styling inside and out. This car feels SOLID and safe. You ride in the car not on it. SLK's are not cheap even with a lease, but I can't think of any car I would trade you mine for at four times the price. This car is a daily driver I have driven it in all kinds of weather, from snow to sweltering and my SLK has never let me down or left me stranded. (Some advice if you drive year round- if you live where it snows get the best SNOW tires you can, and anticipate where you are going and how to get there and you can do just fine, but be warned SLKs are no 4matic ML or G-Wagon. My SLK is the best present I have ever given myself! Thanks Big Guy in the sky for the blessing!

Daihatsu UFE-II concept achieves 60km per litre economy
Wednesday October 22, 2003
Part of Daihatsu's line-up of ten prototype cars at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show, the UFE-II (Ultra Fuel Economy) is a drive-by-wire, four-seat hybrid minivehicle that achieves a formidable 60 km/l by utilising a 660cc direct fuel injection petrol engine engine and a twin-electric motor system.
The ultra-lightweight UFE has an aluminium and resin body that weighs just 570kg and its aerodynamic design, which is highlighted by a cut-tail teardrop silhouette, gull-wing doors and sophisticated lamp design, achieves an extremely low drag coefficient of 0.19 - the lowest of any car in the world according to the Daihatsu release.
The hybrid system combines a newly developed Atkinson 660cc direct fuel injection petrol engine with two motors running off a nickel-metal hydride battery.
The fuel economy figure for the UFE prototype of 60km/l can be compared with the world's first petrol/electric hybrid production car - the Honda Insight - which holds the Australian fuel economy record of 45.3 kml (128.4mpg) and has been driven from Brisbane to Melbourne on one tank of gas.
Other notable Daihatsu exhibits among the ten prototype cars and eight production models the company is presenting at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show include the D-BONE open-top sports 4WD prototype, a minimum sized 2 + 2 commuter with a convertible rear-cargo space called the ai (Attractive & Intelligent), and the XL-C compact sedan.

"Through these doors walk the most important people on earth."
It's a saying many people in Seneca County have passed under, although few may notice. And those important people who walk through those doors could be considered a sign of the times and perhaps a change in thought for a place that was once called a "stag bar" which has become a landmark in downtown Tiffin.
This summer, Clover Club celebrated its 75th anniversary. Opened June 6, 1936, the business always has stood at 266 S. Washington St., although those original patrons probably would not recognize it if they ventured there today.

An original advertisement for the opening of Clover Club from The Advertiser-Tribune.
At what had been the location of a soda shop in the late 1800s, Leon Fetzer and Paul Kleinhenz opened the bar on that "Saturday eve" in 1936, according to a notice in The Advertiser-Tribune. In those days, it was a place for entertainment and gathering musical scores and pictures of musicians showed that singing and laughing often were heard coming from the bar.
Although selling drinks was its specialty, Clover Club also offered a variety of sandwiches, mostly cold cut meats and cheeses. A menu showing the offerings is still at the bar - with prices advertised for 10 or 20 cents - as well as the cutting board, upon which a computer now sits.
In addition to the two owners, Clover Club had a long-running manager during this time, according to current owner Sharon Gosche. When Fetzer was called to fight in World War I, Chick Linker was asked to take over the bar for a few years.
Linker's daughter Marilyn Riley lives in Tiffin with her husband, Wayne. Gosche said a scale which was a fixture on the outside of the bar now is on display at Wayne's business, Wayne Riley's Car Wash in Tiffin.
Many rumors have followed Clover Club through the years. For example, the original bar is believed to still be in use at an establishment at Put-in-Bay opened by Kleinhenz. The round, art-deco bar, still in use today, was installed before the bar's 15th anniversary in 1951.
"The rumor that I was always told was it was designed for a bar in New York City but it didn't fit or something went wrong, and it ended up here but it had to be cut down (to fit)," said Dennis Stevenson, manager.
In 1958, Leon's son, John Fetzer, bought the bar. Starting at a young age mopping the floors, John said, he began working regularly as he grew older.
"I enjoyed it, yeah," he said.
Although it often has been referred to as a "men only" establishment during its early years, John said Clover Club was never intended to be that way.
"It was never a stag bar," he said. "We always had two johns, one for men and one for ladies. I don't think my dad tried to influence what it wasn't. We had female bartenders my mother was a bartender. ... We didn't refuse service to anyone."
It was during those years culture began to change and the "ladies john" became more commonly used.
"I think women's liberation came about, bottom line," Sharon said. "I know I was coming here in 1968 when it was stag, but they started opening it up."
A unique side of the business when Fetzer owned it was the relationship with the barbershop next door.
"We had a buzzer in the barber shop, so instead of waiting in the shop, you could wait at the Clover Club and get buzzed in when the chair was open," Fetzer said.
Many people have stories about waiting in the bar as children while their fathers were getting their hair cut. Gosche said her father and uncles would wait there when her grandfather was next door.
Fetzer owned the bar until 1992, and sometime after the bar expanded to take over the barbershop's space, which now is a dining room.
The bar was up for sale again in the later part of the 1990s. Gosche, who said working always has been in her blood, saw an opportunity and took ownership July 1, 1997.
"Sharon's somewhat of a preservationist and really has spent time and money to replace every window, the electrical, everything a building from 1890s requires," Stevenson said. "She saw the opportunity to build a kitchen, and really the need for it in downtown."
"I believe in Tiffin, so I think the more history you can keep, it just says to outsiders and people who are here that Tiffin is important," Gosche said. "Let's revitalize it and enhance what we have."
Gosche said one of the biggest compliments she has received was being mentioned as an asset in the downtown strategic survey commissioned by Tiffin Tomorrow.
Tiffin Tomorrow downtown manager Theresa Sullivan complimented the business on their anniversary.
"It's quite an accomplishment in and of itself," she said. "It's quite an asset to have something that well established. ... It's a community place, and they are very much a name in downtown Tiffin a wonderful, vibrant business."
The business continues to expand due in part to the restaurant side. Gosche said each month, beer and food sales are neck-and-neck.
"I can tell you that our food is half our business," Sharon said.
"Ten years ago this was a bar that had food now it's a restaurant that has beer," Stevenson said. "There's no difference than any other (sports bar), and I think that's why people feel comfortable bringing their kids and families."
The menu also has gone through many changes, in look and content. Gosche said she tries to keep up with trends and has added items such as wraps, salads and a variety of specialty pub burgers.
"We just try to update it and keep it fresh," she said. "And we've added the consistency for lunch so that a lot of downtown business people, and even just business people, who don't have a lot of time for lunch can come down."
Gosche said she has a great staff that has made dining a success, especially her kitchen staff, which makes many of the items from scratch, limiting the amount of pre-packaged or frozen items.
"Everybody's amazed at how much we do from that little kitchen," she said.
"We're Tiffin's biggest menu and Tiffin's smallest kitchen," Stevenson said.
But they have not forgotten their roots. In addition to big changes to the restaurant side, Clover Club has become recognized for its selection of beer, with 12 draught choices and a variety of specialty brews.
The establishment builds on that diversity through the World Beer Tour, which features 25 beverages the bar has never stocked before. The Clover Club just finished its seventh tour and 175th unique beer.
"That's getting harder and harder to do," Stevenson said.
Other events include Kegs and Eggs, during which breakfast and beer are served for the Ohio State/University of Michigan football game and on St. Patrick's Day.
Gosche said the idea came from two employees who gave her three days notice before the big game.
"I think it's been a success, and it gives people something to look forward to," Gosche said.
"And for many people, it's a tradition," Stevenson said.
This year, Clover Club had its first live broadcast for St. Patrick's Day, with Keith Hodkinson and Frank Barber of SenecaCountyRadio.com, which they plan to continue next year.
Hodkinson said he was looking forward to it as a fan of St. Patrick's Day broadcasts from years past.
"The Clover Club was the perfect venue," he said. "Sharon and everyone was wonderful to work with. ... We had a great turn out. Whether it was 6 a.m. or midnight, the Clover Club was the place to be."
The business also has diversified by offering a hall upstairs for catered events and get-togethers.
"Camden Falls and the Community Civic Center are nice, but those are for big parties. This is perfect for small little gatherings, if you don't have more than 50 people," Gosche said.
John Fetzer has been to Clover Club a few times since Sharon took over and said he has been impressed with the changes.
"I think it's all for the better, but the times have changed," John said. "Whereas my business was busy after work, theirs is busy in the evening. It's different times, I guess."
The changes also have resulted in bringing in a cross section of the community. Gosche and Stevenson commented on their patrons, saying in a given day they will see college students and staff, older couples and young families taking in the atmosphere.
"And we feel like the Clover Club is a social obligation to the community," Stevenson said. "It's where neighbors meet, run into each other, people who haven't seen each other in a while. A lot of people comment on the dynamic of the round bar, that no matter where you sit, you can see everyone there. You can go from table to table here and know just about everybody."

Best place and way to get ALOT of Scrap Metal?
- Topic Archived
Thanks guys.
Themistocles67 7 years ago#2
Ironically the scrap yard is not a great place to get scrap metal.
So, in conclusion. If UK beats U of L on Saturday, I will close my account that I have had for so many years, and I promise that. - steelix55 Sept. 15, 2007
Cheek the wiki for the scrap metal glitch. Places with a lot of robots will have a lot of pieces lying around and robots often have a piece on there corpse. Some good places are Roboco, the mechanist forge, Fort Banister, and the national archives.
Gt: Ghosta2
Thanks. ^^
If you've found The Family in the Meresti trainyards, one of their guys has about 22 scraps for sale (or stealing, but it's 22 caps anyways).
XBL Gamertag: ShadownetNinjaX
I can generally rack up a nice number of Scrap Metal at level 2
Check Vault 101. You should have at least 2-6 scrap metal by the time you're leaving. Garanteed 2 that arn't inside random loot toolboxes. (One inside only open room after exiting the Elevator, and one inside the room to your right if you backtrack instead of exiting the Vault right away. There are also several tool boxes you can loot that should have some)
After leaving Vault 101, go to Megaton. Billy Creel's house usually has one or two inside one of the metal boxes on the first floor of his home. Moria might or might not have one or two for sell.
(Optional: Head to Rivet City (which should be on your map now if you asked Lucas Simms about the area's around in the Wasteland). Siegred Holms (Think that's the spelling) Usually has one or two to sell, sometimes none. (Also grab your INT bobble head if you have 9 INT for 10 INT and moar skill points.)
Fast travel back to Springvale and head to The Maresti Trainyard. There are 4 tool boxes and one tool cabinet along side one of the entrances. If you're facing the two from the trains it'll be the one on your left. Also enter this one to find a tool box directly on the inside that could contain 1-2. Inside is pretty barren until you get to the Family guard. Pass the speech check or whatever. There's two peices of scrap metal laying in the open. The only hard one will be the one on the shelf directly next too his bed, but it's do-able. Also there's a toolbox here near the computer.
Go inside the Family's lair. Once inside see if Karl is at his store. If he is go buy the scrap from him. This includes ALL scrap metal within this area. Not just the 22 in his little bunker. That means if there's any hidden in toolboxes, etc this is a sure way to get it all and not lose Karma or toggle the 'Blood Ties' quest by overhearing about what happened in Aerfu.
You should be in the 30s or lower 40s by now.
Fast travel back to Megaton and head south towards Robo Corp. If you need too talk to Burk and start the Power of The Atom quest to get the location of Tenpenny tower, since Robo Corp is right next too it.
Find Tinker Joe, who usually roams around the area near Robocorp. He usually has 5-9 scrap for sale.
Head inside Robocorp. I wouldn't suggest messing with any of the computers or anythign since you come back for a quest task later. But there are a lot of busted protectrons with scrap usually in them, lots of scrap laying around on the ground and on shelves. and there's at least 5 or 6 peices in some of the little control room areas on the 'belt' like machines. It's also only populated by Mole Rats and Radroaches making it easy to deal with.
After that, usually in a fast travel to Megaton and back to Robo Corp. I've noticed Tinker Joe usually restocks on Scrap Metal and you can buy more from him.

If you have broken steel, there is a ton of scrap metal in the last two quests. i think I came out of it with over 100 scrap metals.

Cilk McSweeney had a vision from the minute he stepped foot on Calvary Christian Academy's campus three years ago.
"Our goal always has been to be top 25 in the country," the Eagles basketball coach said Thursday. "We started with nothing and now we're making some noise. But we're not finished."
That noise you may have heard this week was Calvary Christian landing 7-foot, four-star senior center Victor Uyaelunmo and his younger brother, Solomon, a promising 6-8, 220-pound junior power forward. The brothers transferred from Miami Gulliver Prep.
The two new additions join All-County senior Jerald Butler, a talented 6-5 guard, who transferred from...

"There was never a dull moment with David," said Zhee Carr, recalling through tears the times she spent playing with her son.
"We went to church on Sunday and then when we came back we started playing."
David Carr, 13, and his brother George Carr Jr., 17, were together when David was struck by two vehicles Sunday night as he tried to cross Bell Street. George Carr Jr. ran to his brother and held him until EMS arrived.
David Carr later died at a local hospital from injuries sustained in the accident.
That night, David asked his mother if he could go to the store to buy a snack and lunch for school the next day. He got money from his father, George Carr Sr., and went with his brother to go to the Dollar Tree.
"David always had people laughing everywhere we went; he had the most friends," Zhee Carr said.
Sitting with her family Tuesday, Zhee Carr clutched a thick blue folder filled with memories her son's Bonham Middle School classmates had put together after his death.
One note read, "David was the happiest person in the world."
George Carr Sr. said he would put money in David's lunch box and three days later he would say it was gone. "I said, 'David how come? I put $20 in three days ago.' He would buy his friend's lunch, that's how good he was," George Carr Sr. said.
The family recalled how much he loved sports — especially soccer.
"I looked forward to taking him to his soccer games on Saturday. I looked forward to Saturday to be with David, take him to his soccer games and see him play," George Carr Sr. said.
"He was my child, but he was my best friend, when everybody would leave me alone, he would say 'I'll stay with Dad.'"
Zhee Carr said her son was very smart and extremely tech-saavy. "I would say, 'You haven't been to college for it. How do you know how to do all those things? All the programs on our iPad, David installed them and he figured them out.'"
It's a device the Carrs now cling to, as it's filled with photos and videos of David, George Jr. and older brother Dean Carr, 22, who lives in Philadelphia. In one video, David Carr patiently shows his mother how to use the iPad's video function.
George Carr Sr. said he often told his son he should move to California and work in information technology, but David had other ideas.
An athletic boy, David Carr played football, basketball and swam. But his favorite was soccer.
David, who wanted to be a soccer star, hoped to travel the world and to meet his favorite soccer player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Zhee Carr displayed several photos of David in his sports uniforms and said when he wasn't in uniform, he still dressed in soccer-style clothes.
"We are burying him in his soccer jersey," Zhee Carr said.
David played for the Hurst United Soccer team. His father said he took David to games every Saturday, as long as it wasn't raining.
"It seemed like he was always in a hurry, sometimes I would hold him in the waist and make him keep still," Zhee Carr said.
George Carr Jr. said he and his brother watched wrestling every Monday and Friday and liked to pretend they were the wrestlers.
"He used to always tell me that I had to be strong," George Carr Jr. said.
The family laughed as they recalled the times David would pick on George Carr Jr. and say he was weak. "He would call me Smoothie, since I had soft hands," his brother said.
"He was just an amazing person. I wish I could have said more things to him, I wish I could have told him I loved him more," George Carr Jr. said. "He was my best friend."
Visitation will be Nov. 29 in Arlington, where the family has a home.

All in all, I think he is a wonderful new little addition to our home.
What they do agree on is barking together when there are people at the door --oh, what a massive commotion. And they both agree on certain places in the yard. I keep Paeha's leash at a shorter length so Mr. Witty is alpha --always first and out there further.... We don't let Paeha in to Mr. Witty's bed (although Mr. Witty is allowed in Paeha's bed).... Mr. Witty gets cookies first, food first --all that....
Makes me think all kinds of strange theological thoughts....
...that are interrupted by piles of leaves in the yard, hiding strange shadows... and the pit bull in the yard last night convinces me even more that we need to finish the fence and put up a gate... and I think of a locked gate and all... mostly because of the late-night knocks at the door, usually some one quite drunk --staggering drunk, and they think we should help because we are church people.... The word is already out on the street --don't come to the door drunk, she'll call the cops.... Joel's the one that put that out there.... It might even be true.
But, yesterday, before noon, we saw a guy on the street whom we know --and he asked for money --we said no and invited to come over to the house in an hour for a sandwich. He shows up at 10pm --saying it had been a very long hour --and we laughed.... but it's 18 degrees out --and Joel knows where he sleeps --so we fed him what we had for dinner (sausage and apple/cranberry stuffing --huge hunks of sausage because I make it even without a turkey to put it in), and he'll come back today.... maybe. He says he can't stay with relatives... which should be a big hint.... But we will try to give him more to sleep with --more to wear....
But I wonder at the Tribe not having a shelter... other than the jail.
And I am mentally preparing for the funeral of T --twelve years old.... well, as much as one can prepare. Mostly, I think, I am leaving plenty of room for the unexpected.... and I will need plenty of room for that.... There will be at least four pastors from different denominations present for the wake --and then I will do a funeral mass late that night --that is all fine --but then we will carry him down to the school auditorium on Monday morning and begin again --and this is when a local very fundamentalist will take over.... and I am already cringing.... what will be said to the kids in the presence of an open coffin?
I think that is where my real work begins, in the school auditorium.... that is where the 'plenty of room for the unexpected' will need 12 entrances and 12 exits --where I will have to call on all the spirits present --where I will have to be prepared to address the "he's gone to a better place" mantra that is so very comment and present here --where I will know the bullies that pushed him to this place will also be in the room --and because I know that it is the anniversary of T's death --also suicide --also bullied, perhaps by the same kids --and that maybe T's death has as much to do with that as anything....
--and perhaps I should call upon the new Roman Catholic nun in town --who works at the hospital in mental health.... yes, I think I will.
--and, I ask for your prayers --for the kids here --a few years ago there were 105 suicides on the Reservation just to the north of us --most of them teen suicides.... Suicide is a way of life.... Here, in some instances, it seems the logical and rational decision....
From here:
His death was part of a "suicide cluster," which occurs when knowledge of one suicide influences other people at risk.
Julie Garreau, director of the Cheyenne River Youth Project, said the suicide victims began to take on an exalted position among young people. For the funerals, many kids wrote the names of suicide victims like Alonzo on the rear windows of their cars and left them there.
"One of the teachers, my cousin, she said one of the kids asked her who those famous people are," Garreau said.
The danger of glorifying suicide is magnified in isolated places such as Eagle Butte or McLaughlin, where teens say they have little to do but cruise Main Street or drink with their friends.
It's old news --but the story hasn't changed....
And there is this:
Frightening Realities Facing ChildrenI ask for your prayers....
Abuse, addiction, poverty, abandonment, gang violence, suicide … the list of realities facing Native American youth on South Dakota reservations is a harsh one. The statistics below put these realities in black and white and substantiate the need for services from the Cheyenne River Indian Outreach.
•The Gang violence is growing at a frightening rate across South Dakota reservations.
•For American Indians, suicide is the second leading cause of death ages 15-34.
•Victimization rate for American Indian children is 15.9 per 1,000 Indian children; this includes physical, sexual and emotional abuse as well as neglect. Caucasian children have a victimization rate of 10.7 children per 1,000.
•Household conditions in many communities on the Cheyenne Indian Reservation are similar to those found in Third World countries. These conditions are caused, in part, by extreme poverty, desolation, substance addictions and more.
You know, if you came for a visit, you might look at the houses and say --well, that's not so bad. And you might be right --there are many that 'aren't so bad'. But I've been in a few of the 'not so bad' houses... and then I weep.
At prayer this morning (a portion of Psalm 107, ending with verse 43)
Yet when they were diminished and brought low, *
through stress of adversity and sorrow,
(He pours contempt on princes *
and makes them wander in trackless wastes)
He lifted up the poor out of misery *
and multiplied their families like flocks of sheep.
The upright will see this and rejoice, *
but all wickedness will shut its mouth.
Whoever is wise will ponder these things, *
and consider well the mercies of the LORD.
Little dogs and pit bulls... One man struggling to live... a child giving up on life...
I trust what Jesus said about God... and even so, I scratch my head and make room for grief and the stress of adversity and sorrow and ponder these things....
--without conclusion.
Such is life on the wide open prairie.

M1911 Extended Magazine?

> M1911 Extended Magazine?
January 28, 2012, 03:49 PM
I'm looking for a quality M1911 magazine that has a capacity of at least 12 rounds. I know it will stick out of the grip and that is fine. It is for a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec .45.

No such reliable mag out there IMO. The McCormick 10 round mags work well for me but not for everyone.
Rail Driver
January 28, 2012, 04:48 PM
I have an unmarked 10rd mag that hasn't failed me yet. No idea the maker, it came with a pistol I traded for awhile back.
January 28, 2012, 04:54 PM
Most single stack "hi cap" 1911 mags I've seen are only 10 rounds, Chip McCormick and Wilson make some I think. I have no experience with them personally, but I consider those two companies to be pretty good at making 1911 mags for the most part.
Here and there I've seen larger capacity mags, here's some 15 rounders I've found...
But I have no idea who made these mags (except for the last one, and I don't trust ProMags), and honestly I wouldn't trust them as anything more than range mags.
January 28, 2012, 05:55 PM
I have not seen any single stack 45 ACP magazines of greater than 10 round capacity.
January 28, 2012, 06:35 PM
You can always find an old experimental colt 25 round magazine, such as what John Dillinger used(though I think his full auto 1911 was 38 super?).

10 round tripp mags.

I had a couple of MecGar 11 shot .45 magazines. They did ok when in good condition but the metal was soft and if you dropped one on a speed load, you were likely to have to straighten out the lips before they would feed again.
I think they are still being made - or made again after the AWB sunset - maybe they are of better material now. Most MecGars are pretty good.
January 28, 2012, 08:19 PM
Here is as good as you can do, if you want it to work.
January 28, 2012, 10:03 PM
I'm looking for a quality M1911 magazine that has a capacity of at least 12 rounds.
Interesting number, 12. How did you come up with a need for a mag that holds 12?
January 29, 2012, 12:15 AM
If you really want a 1911 with 12+ round capacity, get a widebody that uses double stack mags. Para-Ordnance, STI, etc.
For my single stacks, I've found the Chip McCormick Power Plus 10 rounders work well.
January 29, 2012, 12:24 AM
My CMC Powers 10rders are good, no 12s yet though.
January 29, 2012, 12:57 AM
10 round tripp mags.
My CMC Powers 10rders are good, no 12s yet though.
Hhmmm....[Flush fit 10mm 1911 magazines are 8 or 9 rounds, whereas in the .45 flush-fit magazines are 7-8 rounds.]....
Purchased 6 Tripp 1911 10mm 10rd magazines; None work. I have 4 CMC 1911 10mm 9rd magazines...2 work reliably; 1 works, sometimes; 1 doesn't work. [The CMC's are Shooting Star's, though; if I could've found the CMC power-mags...function might have been better.]
I've seen a few 15rd .45 1911 magazines. They stick out of the magazine-well a country mile.--Patrice
January 29, 2012, 01:20 AM
I trust my single-stack 14 rounders, that's 7 X 2. Reliable and sticks out that much sound mutually exclusive to me.

Larry Ruth in his book on development of the M1 Carbine has material on a long slide .45 Colt with detachable shoulder stock and extended magazine offered by Colt as an alternative to the .30 carbine. The barrel was eleven inches, with the bushing extended to make a ventilated barrel shroud. Magazines capacities were 7 and 20.
Reliability of the 20 round magazine developed by Colt for the Army tests was IIRC reported as good. So extended magazines that work with the 1911 have been done. The extended magazines I have tried have been disappointments.
January 30, 2012, 02:25 PM
10 round tripp mags.
+1, they make good mags. All my mags that I bother using are Tripp now, both the 7 and 10 rounders.

This means that the root parition / is full. Note that everything
except /home and /usr are stored on /, which is very small (16 MB IIRC).
The solution is to delete some files. Obviously you cannot boot from
your HD, so you should boot from CD instead. Then you can mount the
first subpartition and delete some files. After a reboot you should be
able to boot fine again.
With kind regards,

Not as cool as sex and ice cream stores, though.
what about a liquor, sex and ice cream store?

Snow White and the Huntsman behind the scenes: Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Stewart, Rupert Sanders (director)
Snow White and the Huntsman box office: Directed by Rupert Sanders, and starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Best Actress Oscar winner Charlize Theron, and Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman will in all likelihood pass the $250 million milestone at the worldwide box office on Monday, June 18.
As of Sunday, June 17, Snow White and the Huntsman has collected $247.2 million worldwide: $124.6 million overseas; $122.6 million in North America, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo.
Internationally, Snow White and the Huntsman was the top movie in Japan, scoring $4.7 million. Additionally, it opened with $6.1 million in Russia and $5.1 million in France. Its international total this weekend was $31.2 million in 57 territories. Only the 3D animated feature Madagascar 3: Europe's Mosted Wanted was more popular, having raked in $53 million.
Up to June 10, Snow White and the Huntsman's biggest international territories were the United Kingdom with $14.66 million, Mexico with $9.15 million, Germany with $7.68 million, Brazil with $6.93 million, and Spain with $6.62 million. Snow White and the Huntsman has been holding up particularly well in Brazil and the UK: in both countries, the film's first weekend take was only around 37 percent of its ten-day gross vs. Mexico, 56 percent; Germany, 53 percent; and Spain, 60 percent.
Also worth noting, this weekend the scale has finally tipped in favor of the international box office, which currently accounts for 50.4 percent of Snow White and the Huntsman's global cume. Chances are that percentage will grow in the coming weeks, as SWATH has lost quite a bit of steam at the domestic box office – and the film has yet to open in a handful of major and mid-level territories, including Australia, New Zealand, and Chile.
Snow White and the Huntsman box office: domestic
In North America, Rupert Sanders' period fantasy / adventure way overperformed when it debuted two weekends ago, grossing $56.2 million. The following weekend, the Snow White and the Huntsman box office was down an alarming 59 percent – likely due to strong competition from Madagascar 3 and Ridley Scott's sci-fier Prometheus, in addition to the possibility that Kristen Stewart's fans may have gone en masse on opening weekend to see Stewart play a Joan of Arc'ed version of Snow White.
Just as importantly, SWATH lacked strong reviews / word of mouth (the film received a "B" Cinemascore rating), which are crucial elements for a film's box office longevity. [See also: Kristen Stewart box office draw.]
However, as expected, Snow White and the Huntsman's domestic box office performance has stabilized somewhat. True, reviews and word of mouth haven't been laudatory, but they haven't been damning, either. In fact, this weekend in the U.S. and Canada, SWATH grossed an estimated $13.8 million at 3,701 locations, or about 10 percent more than early estimates indicated. If that figure is accurate, the film was down a perfectly acceptable 40 percent from a week ago, after losing 76 venues (about 3 percent of its theaters).
Something else worth noting: despite two high-profile new releases this weekend – Tom Cruise's Rock of Ages and Adam Sandler / Andy Samberg's That's My Boy – Snow White and the Huntsman stood firm at no. 4, down only one slot from a week ago. Rock of Ages grossed only $1.2 million more at 3,470 sites; That's My Boy, possibly to become Adam Sandler's biggest box office flop ever (in relation to his films' budgets), was $800,000 behind at 3,030 theaters.
Written by Killing Season's Evan Daugherty, The Blind Side's John Lee Hancock, and Drive's Hossein Amini, Snow White and the Huntsman features Breaking Dawn - Part 2's Kristen Stewart as Snow White, The Avengers' Chris Hemsworth as the Scottish-accented Huntsman, Monster's Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen Ravenna, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' Sam Claflin as Prince Charming.
In addition to: Hollywoodland's Bob Hoskins, The Sweeney's Ray Winstone, Shrek the Third's Ian McShane, My Week with Marilyn's Toby Jones, Sherlock Holmes' Eddie Marsan, The Moth Diaries' Lily Cole, 300's Vincent Regan, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe's Noah Huntley, Shaun of the Dead's Nick Frost, and The Young Victoria's Rachael Stirling.

Erie hospital manages affiliations with 2 health systems
More patients with complex heart problems are being referred from Saint Vincent Hospital to the Cleveland Clinic since the two hospitals entered a clinical affiliation in December 2012.
Cleveland Clinic officials said that trend continues even though Saint Vincent in July joined Highmark's Allegheny Health Network, which provides similar heart services at Allegheny General Hospital.
"The number of referrals we see for patients who require a higher level of care has increased since the start of our affiliation," said Joseph Cacchione, M.D., chairman of operations and strategy at the Cleveland Clinic Heart and Vascular Institute. "We are pleased with the results and haven't seen any influence of their relationship with Allegheny General, though we are watching that carefully."
Saint Vincent announced its partnerships with the Cleveland Clinic and Allegheny Health Network less than a week apart in October 2012. The affiliations are different, however.
The deal with the Cleveland Clinic is a clinical affiliation for which Saint Vincent pays the Cleveland health system to use its brand to promote Saint Vincent's cardiac services, and have its clinical data analyzed by Cleveland Clinic physicians and administrators.
The agreement also streamlines referral patterns from Saint Vincent to the Cleveland Clinic.
"It's like the Good Housekeeping seal of approval," said Sam Ward, M.D., a Saint Vincent cardiologist. "They come in, look at our methods, our quality and our stats, and validate what we have done."
Saint Vincent's deal with Highmark was a merger, in which the Erie hospital received $20 million for giving the Pittsburgh-based health insurer control of its board.
Saint Vincent cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons meet with their counterparts at Allegheny General and other hospitals in the Allegheny Health Network to make clinical decisions, establish pathways of care and standardization of care, Ward said.
"It's a very collaborative thing," Ward said. "We even helped with a protocol that Allegheny General was struggling with."
Though Saint Vincent has partnerships with two out-of-town health systems, the goal is to keep heart patients in Erie whenever possible, Ward said.
Referrals happen when patients require heart transplants -- which aren't performed in Erie -- or some other type of surgery or treatment that local heart doctors don't see on a regular basis.
"For those cases, we have access to two great, world-class centers: Cleveland Clinic and Allegheny General," Ward said. "The decision on where my patients go is based on the patient's insurance, the patient's preference and which place I think is better in their particular circumstance."
Allegheny Health Network officials said they don't see a reason why Saint Vincent's affiliation with the Cleveland Clinic can't continue. The deal doesn't expire until December 2017.
"I haven't heard of any friction or concerns about the affiliation, either from the Cleveland Clinic, patients or their families," said Tony Farah, M.D., chief medical officer of the Allegheny Health Network.
Cacchione, a former Saint Vincent cardiologist and administrator, said that while the Cleveland Clinic hasn't seen a decline in referrals since Saint Vincent joined the Allegheny Health Network, it has seen fewer referrals from another Erie hospital.
"We have seen a dramatic decrease in referrals from Hamot since it joined UPMC," Cacchione said. "It's even beyond the decrease you would expect from patients with UPMC Health Plan insurance," which doesn't have Cleveland Clinic in its network.
Any decrease is due to more heart patients staying at Hamot and not because more of them are being sent to other UPMC hospitals, said Gary Maras, chief executive of the Hamot Heart Institute.
"UPMC does not require its physicians to make referrals within the system," Maras said. "In (Hamot's) agreement, it is stated that physicians would not be required to refer within the system."
