Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon 16th December 2011 Written Episode
ASR asks La if she\'s leaving. La says she has to go. What will she do staying in the house now? ASR assures her she doesn\'t have to. He apologises that all this is because of him. La says he did what he thought was right. She should thank him that he told her the truth. Once PayAsh get engaged, they plan to tell everyone the truth. When called, La tells ASR to go but he insists on going with her. She needn\'t do this alone and they leave together.
The Guptas arrive at the RM. Anjali comes and takes \'aarti\' of Payal. She calls to Shyam to get rice for her as she\'s forgotten. He comes and looks at the Guptas who look back at him furiously. He gives the rice to Anjali who proceeds with the ritual. Nani asks Khushi about her fiance. Shyam, who is about to leave, stops. Anjali handles the situation and says he is out for some work. Shyam is surprised and Nani wishes he were here. Guptas are speechless giving disgusted looks to Shyam. Anjali and Khushi are left alone where Khushi thanks Anjali. Anjali says Khushi\'s fiance does not know what he has lost by letting her go. Shyam is listening to all this. Anjali leaves. Khushi is following but Shyam calls out to her and she stops. He thanks her. Khushi tells him to thank his wife who trusts a man like him and not her. She assures that she isn\'t scared but did this for Anjali. If he dares do anything fishy then she will reveal the truth. Nani calls Shyam to make him meet the Gupta family.
Nani \'introduces\' him to the Guptas and says they are also from Lucknow. Shyam greets them. Nani praises the Guptas\' upbringing of their two daughters. Then she praises Shyam to and the Guptas shoot him disgusted looks. Shyam looks a bit awkward. Anjali comes and informs that the programme is about to begin and everyone disperses.
Manorma\'s friends praise Payal\'s beauty. Madhumati overhears this and says Payal is just on her Bua The two women have a tensed moment but Payal comes midway and greets Manorma\'s friends. Manorma lies about the Guptas\' status to her friends but Payal tells the truth. Anjali also comes with Khushi and asks her to take Payal in her room. La is there as well. Madhumati tells Manorma that she wants to speak to her and when they\'re alone, she asks why she lied about their status. Manorma says how can she proudly claim that they are sweetshop owners? Madhumati says they\'re proud of their status but Manorma continues with her insults but Madhumati handles her well. Manorma\'s friends also tell her Madhumati seems a bit shrewd and say some other stuff about the Guptas. Manorma gets upset at this and says nothing will happen without her.
Khushi is rehearsing how she will congratulate ASR and hand him his gift outside the door but of his room ASR opens the door midway and sees Khushi standing with her hands outstretched holding the gift and goes \'What the…??\'.. Khushi\'s smile also disappears. He asks her what she wants? Has she got a gift for him? She says noIt\'s for La, as in for their engagement and congratulates him handing the gift. ASR accepts it reluctantly. She says that it is not only for his engagement but also for the fact that for someone who didn\'t believe in relations, he helped PayAsh come together as well as is getting engaged. Someone calls her saying Payal is asking for her. Before leaving, Khushi says she is very happy for Arnav and La and Arnav, all this while, couldn\'t say anything.
Payal is tired of getting overly ready. Khushi says she is going to help her get ready just like Payal helped her during childhood for school. Payal notices Khushi is not up to it and asks her if Shyam did something but Khushi brushes it off. La comes to call her and Khushi excitedly talks about her engagement. She even gifts jewelry to La. La gets a little sad. She is touched and hugs Khushi. She says that this gift is very valuable for her and wherever she might be, she\'ll always keep this with her. Khushi says that she is saying as if she is going somewhere far away. She is right here only. She further asks why she isn\'t wearing her engagement dress but La brushes it off. Fortunately for her, Anjali calls her. But as Khushi is leaving she seems perturbed and turns to take a last glance at La who smiles reassuringly but as soon as Khushi leaves she can\'t stop her tears. Arnav keeps a hand on her shoulder and without him asking, she tells him she\'s fine. The episode freezes on ASR\'s face.
Precap: Arnav tells everyone he and La are not getting engaged. Everyone is shocked. Nani and Anjali both scold him for taking all this as a game.
P.S. Turning La negative would KILL something in the show. Something very virginal, pure and innocent. I BEG the CVs to reconsider if at all they\'re thinking along those lines 🙁

Associated Press
Ferrero, who ousted former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt in the first round on Tuesday, will face third-seeded Andy Murray next.
The 29-year-old from Spain, ranked No. 1 in 2003 after he won the French Open, had to go through two qualifying matches last weekend just to get in. Ferrero has won 20 of his 27 matches since May and has risen to No. 29.
Ferrero fought off two set points in the tiebreaker to Monfils, who played his first tournament since withdrawing from the Queen's Club event in England on June 11 due to a left wrist injury.
Monfils wasn't the only seeded player eliminated as No. 15 Tommy Robredo was beaten 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4) by Philipp Petzschner of Germany.
No. 6 Juan Martin del Potro, coming off a victory over Andy Roddick on Sunday in the final at Washington, advanced with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Jan Hernych of the Czech Republic.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France beat Rainer Schuettler of Germany 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the third round.
The seventh-seeded Tsonga broke for a 4-3 lead in the final set to secure the win. His next opponent will be fellow Frenchman Gilles Simon, who overcame Alejandro Falla of Colombia 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
Fernando Verdasco advanced to the round of 16 with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Leonardo Mayer of Argentina. Verdasco will next face fifth-seeded Roddick, who beat Igor Andreev of Russia 6-1, 7-6 (3).
In a late match, world No. 2 Rafael Nadal makes his return from tendinitis in both knees that has kept him out of action since losing in the fourth round of the French Open on May 31 to Robin Soderling. Nadal takes on fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.

Might the Bush tax cuts be repealed before 2011?
I have to admit, this scenario does make a lot of sense:
In a word, yes. Back in August 1993, President Clinton passed the largest tax increase in history – the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA) – and made it retroactive to January of that year.
It was challenged in court, and the court held that retroactive tax increases were legal. This was not the first time this sort of chicanery had been pulled. (You can read more on the topic of retroactive taxes by clicking here.)
Why am I so confident this trap is being set? Nancy Pelosi herself tipped her hand on the retroactive tax plan when she said last January she wanted Congress to repeal Bush's tax cuts well before their scheduled expiration date. An early repeal of the Bush tax cuts was also one of President Obama's campaign promises.
The administration and its allies have since gone quiet on its intentions. But that's only because they want to avoid triggering a stock selloff before the end of 2009. That all changes once the ball drops in Times Square this coming New Year's Eve. At that point, it will be too late to escape.
Me: Perhaps this is how Team Obama means to help pay for the second stimulus, assuming they don't intend just to borrow it all.

What is in this article?:
- Grape growers urged to remain vigilant against sharpshooter pest
- Northward march of GWSS
- Lulled into complacency
- California's strategy for slowing or stopping the spread of the GWSS and for finding solutions to PD has been so successful that growers sometimes get lulled into complacency.
- Southern California epidemics were almost entirely the result of vine-to-vine transmission.
- Uptick in PD discoveries in southern Kern County, Calif., alarming.
UC Riverside Extension entomologist Nick Toscano, right, watches at Temecula-area wine grape grower and vineyard manager Ben Drake, left, checks one of 450 sticky GWSS traps in Temecula with one of his employees Jim Hakrey.
Twelve years ago a Pierce's disease epidemic in Southern California wine grapes prompted a multi-pronged local, state and federal attack to contain the disease spread and find a cure or treatment. Today, the Pierce's Disease/Glassy Winged Sharp Shooter Control Program is lauded as a highly successful model of results-driven cooperation between government agencies, citrus growers, nurseries and wine and table grape growers, university researchers and industry stakeholders.
Programs to control the Asian citrus psyllid/Huanglongbing and European grapevine moth follow its model. It has been expensive. $438.5 million has been spent so far.
Disease management protocols developed through the program have virtually eliminated vine-to-vine transmissions by the glassy winged sharpshooter (GWSS), the insect vector of Xylella fastidiosa, the bacterium that causes Pierce's Disease — as long as growers stay alert and maintain best management practices. Area-wide programs fund monitoring, biological controls and insecticide treatments in citrus groves that harbor the GWSS. Grower assessments have supported fast-track research that identified plant hosts, led to development of PD-resistant vine varieties and discovery of compounds within the plants that appear effective at stopping or reducing the symptoms of the disease.
It could have been much different.
Paul Giboney graphically describes recognizing the widespread devastation that could be wrought by Pierce's disease fully infecting his Kern County table grape vineyards. "We felt like we were standing in a pool of gasoline just waiting for the match to get lit," he said.
Giboney and others from around the state had traveled to Riverside County to witness for themselves the ground zero of a disease that with amazing ferocity had gotten a stranglehold in Temecula Valley vineyards. Riverside County agriculture officials declared a local emergency in 1999 and 300 acres of Temecula wine grape vines were destroyed after they were found to be infested with the GWSS.
Within a year or so, Giboney and other Kern County growers were seeing vines dying in pockets in the Arvin and General Beale areas, and it "looked like the handwriting was on the wall." These outbreaks were much more severe than California's traditional patterns of PD.
Emergencies were declared, a task force was formed, and in 2000 $22.3 million in federal financial assistance was secured to reduce pest infestations and support research. The state Pierce's Disease Control Program was officially established. Survey protocols and guidelines to use for finding infestations were created. A website dedicated to Pierce's disease and the GWSS set up by the California Department of Food and Agriculture received 500,000 hits in its first year online.

Adrian has a quite inspirational list of her 2006 knitting posted today. I liked the way she gathered it all - I'm a great lover of lists. So I thought I'd do the same. These are my finishes for 2006. There were many more starts, believe me.
January 2006
juniper bonnet
February 2006
gg's shawl
March 2006
zimmermann bonnet
another juniper bonnet
April 2006
seal rock ankle socks
May 2006
sebastian's birthday hoodie
June 2006
tiny wrap sweater
July 2006
emergency baby hat
August 2006
wrap sweater for davis
September 2006
charlie's angels wrap sweater for me
October 2006
candy cape
November 2006
a meathead hat
and two secret book projects
December 2006
socks 101
and another meathead for the book
Not counting all the false starts, the work on projects now placed in cryogenic stasis, and single socks, I'd say I knit about 4 baby bonnets, 2 adult hats, 2 baby wrap sweaters, 2 adult sweaters, 1 toddler sweater, 2 shawls, 2 pairs of socks, and a few miscellaneous secret things. Plus I did a whole lot of sewing that I'm not sure I can quantify this cleanly.
Stitch marker celebrated its 2000th comment, and I added
Oh, and whatever I may have lacked in wit and quality? Sorry 'bout that. But I made it up in volume! According to the kind and no doubt accurate people at typepad, this is my 500th post.

I saw the Times article - typical of the knee-jerk hypochondria that Mark Sisson (and we) detest. Not much is known yet about Vitamin D, but, from what I've read, and info given to me here, the level the Times article says is good is a deficiency everywhere else. The tests that have been performed show almost an impossibility to reach a level of toxicity, so I supplement (5,000 iu/day, as per a great member here, Cilkat).
Plus, after reading Good Calories, Bad Calories and noticing how much better my body absorbs the suns rays since going primal, I have no doubt that most people, who are carbo-loading daily, are D deficient, which causes bodily imbalance. I'd rather give my body what it needs to find homeostasis rather than try to fix an imbalance with modern medicine.
Edit: Just read through the comments on the WSJ article, and love this one:
The Food & Nutrition Board has once again ensured a certain level of disease in the population at large. The new guidelines for vitamin D neither raise the minimum requirement sufficiently (was 200 IU, now 600 IU) to avert rickets in dark-skinned toddlers, and the safe upper limit (was 2000 IU, now 4000 IU) barely raises blood levels. America has re-entered the dark ages with this proclamation. Modern medicine, lacking in disease prevention, has once again chosen to dismiss nutritional medicine in favor of bone hardening drugs, antidepressants, calcium-blocker pills, heart medications, which would largely be eliminated by sufficient vitamin D levels in the American population. My suggestion is that health-minded individuals pay a visit to the Vitamin D Council website.

Colorado's new rule goes into effect Sept. 1.
Concern about brucellosis is prompting Colorado to impose tougher identification requirements for cattle that have spent time in the Yellowstone region in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
Nebraska is working on similar requirements and livestock officials said Tuesday they wouldn't be surprised if more states followed suit to keep out brucellosis.
"It's those states trying to protect their livestock industry and making sure that Wyoming doesn't send them any infected animals," says Jim Schwartz, director of the Wyoming Livestock Board.
"I don't blame the states. They're just trying to protect their livestock, too."

AUBURN, Alabama – Now that college football's regular season is mostly over, the race to fill coaching openings across the nation is heating up with coaches available to interview.
And schools with hot commodities at head coach seem to have found a playbook for answering questions about possible interviews.
AL.com sent requests Sunday morning to six schools with head coaches linked to Auburn's coaching search – Florida State's Jimbo Fisher, Arkansas State's Gus Malzahn, TCU's Gary Patterson, Louisville's Charlie Strong, Vanderbilt's James Franklin and Boise State's Chris Petersen – for comment on whether or not Auburn or any other school had contacted them about interviewing their head coaches.
Of the six schools, only two – Florida State and Louisville -- have responded so far.
Neither school would either confirm or deny that their head coaches have been involved in any school's coaching search, both saying that they would not comment on the search process of other schools.
"I don't believe in commenting one way or the other on any school's coaching search," Florida State athletic director Randy Spetman said earlier this week in a statement that a Seminoles spokesman sent Sunday. "The speculation alone is detrimental to the programs involved."
A statement from a Louisville spokesman echoed Spetman's comments when asked about Strong, who has also reportedly interviewed at Tennessee, according to GoVols247.com and VolQuest.com.
"We are not commenting on the search process of other schools," the Louisville spokesman said.
After Vanderbilt signed Franklin to a long-term extension, athletic director David Williams didn't address whether or not Auburn had called about Franklin's availability, but he did say "everybody in America" had contacted him about the second-year head coach.
Auburn's search is being led by a four-man committee made up of athletic director Jay Jacobs, former Heisman Trophy winners Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson, and former player Mac Crawford.

JACKSON, MI – A new Facebook app that allows Consumers Energy customers to compare their energy use with others could revolutionize energy efficiency, according to a new report.
The app is a collaboration between Opower, Facebook and the National Resources Defense Council and is intended to give customers a better understanding of their energy use and provide new ways to save energy.
Right now, 16 utilities that serve 20 million households are participating, and more will sign on soon, according to a report by SustainableBusiness.com.
"When President Obama announced the Green Button program a couple of weeks ago, we knew it would be a hit and could, in fact, revolutionize energy efficiency," the report said. "We're already seeing the potential for that on Facebook, which today launched a 'social energy app.'"
(The Green Button Initiative is a challenge for utilities to help consumers get more access to their energy usage and reduce their energy costs).
"Groups, such as schools and companies, will be able to compare too, and set up contests and other kinds of challenges to 'compete on energy efficiency,'" the report went on to say. "And you'll be able to compare your energy use against a national average of similar sized homes in similar climates or to the most efficient homes. Let the game begin!"
The app is an expansion of Consumers Energy's energy-efficiency programs, which were launched in accordance with the state's 2008 energy-reform law.
The law mandates that 10 percent of Consumers' energy come from Michigan-based renewable sources by 2015.
These programs have saved customers about $67 million in the past two years, the company has reported.

The Bisons scored two runs in the top of the third and one in the fourth. All three Syracuse runs came in the fourth inning. Curtis Thigpen scored on a single by Travis Snider, and Russ Adams and Buck Coats both scored on Kevin Melillo's line drive single to tie the score at three-all.
But Buffalo came back to score three runs in the seventh - one as a result of a throwing error on Russ Adam and another as a result of a fielding error by Hector Luna.
It looked like the Chiefs might rally to tie the game in the ninth, but with the bases loaded, Curtis Thigpen ground into a forced out, ending the game.
The Chiefs host the Bisons Saturday in a 7 p.m. game. It's Camouflage Baseball Night, and the first 1,000 children 12 and under through the stadium gates will receive a camouflage baseball compliments of the United States Army.

DETROIT -- Syracuse University said Detroit mayoral candidate Dave Bing, who has claimed repeatedly he completed college in 1966, didn't receive an undergraduate degree until 1995.
Bing also has said he earned a master's degree in business administration from General Motors Institute in Flint. A Bing spokesman acknowledged the businessman and former NBA player doesn't have an MBA.
The Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday that Bing has embellished his Syracuse credentials in biographical material. The MBA claim is made on a video directed at pro players preparing for life after basketball.
Syracuse spokesman Kevin Morrow said Bing, who went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Detroit Pistons, wasn't awarded an undergraduate degree in economics until 1995, after he completed additional courses.
Bing spokesman Cliff Russell said the discrepancies are the result of misunderstandings. Russell acknowledged that Bing neither received a diploma nor attended graduation ceremonies at Syracuse in 1966, but that Bing believed he had earned enough credits to graduate.
Russell was more direct in refuting Bing's claim that he earned an MBA from General Motors Institute, now called Kettering University.
"Dave does not have an MBA. He knows that," said Russell, who could not explain Bing's claim that he had an advanced degree.
The 65-year-old Bing declined requests to speak with the Free Press about his education.
Bing will face incumbent Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr. after they finished 1-2 in the Feb. 24 mayoral primary. They will face off May 5, with the winner serving as mayor until the regularly scheduled 2009 mayoral primary is held in August, followed by the general election in November.
Cockrel spokesman Jim Edmondson said early Wednesday that he hadn't seen the Free Press report and didn't want to comment until discussing the article with Cockrel.

I finshed putting mascara on and went to look at myself in the full length mirror.I was in love with the dress I bought.It was srapless and down to my knees it was a deep purple color but what I loved most about it is when I moved. It would kinda hmm.. how to explain it?swoosh? flow? I looked at the clock. Jamie would be here any minute he was taking me to the dance I made sure I had everything ready I put on my high heels good thing I practiced walking in these or I would be falling on my face every second.The door bell rang.I went the door. Jamie was there he looked amazing in his tux.I looked at his expression with satisfaction.
"wow ,you look beautiful"he said breathless I liked it his reaction.
"thank you"I replied. He took my hand to kiss it.
"lets go"he smiled
I had to admitt I wasnt a big fan of dances. ok I hated them, but it seemed like Jamie realy wanted so when he asked me I had to say yes.I wondered how stupid I'd look trying to dance.That's got me worryed.I mean slow dancing is ok cause its basic but the everything other kind of dancing was what got me worried.
"Is everything all right?"he asked looking at my expression.
"perfect"I said and smiled I leaned over to kiss his cheek softly. After I pulled back I laughed
"whats funny?"he had a lipstick mark where I kissed him I pointed to his cheek and laughed again
He pulled down the mirror and chuckled. Then started wipe it with and napkin.He opened the window to get some air.suddenly he started shaking and hard.he slammed down the breaks good thing I had a seatbelt on.
"Jamie?you okay?whats wrong?"
"wait here" he open the door and dispeared into the huge trees off the side of the road
I heared a howl so I knew he phased into a wolf. After a few minutes a loud crashing sound and a tree snapping?and then multiple howls so the whole pack must have shown up. I dont know how long I stayed waiting but eventuly he came back his hair was a little messed up but I liked it his tux looked ok no rips.
"what happened?"I asked scared
"so im guessing we have to skip the dance?"
"Why would we?The pack is killing the stupid leach"He looked confused.I heard more howls.
I pretended to be happy"ok"i said with false entusasim
shoot! we still were going to the stupid dance
"Weird I still kinda smell it.watever lets go"he started to drive
It was a few seconds before I notice the detached vampire hand clinging on to his pants.I screamed and tears sprang from my eyes, good thing my mascara was waterproof.I was shaking and breathing way to fast. I was getting dizzy.
"whats wrong?!?"
I tried to talk but it was to hard.he watched trying to figure out what was wrong.I tried to talk again but I was still breathing to fast.
"what wrong?"he asked again
so I just ponted to his leg he looked at it. It caught him by suprize too. He swerved.The next thing I knew were hurdiling towards a tree. We slamed into it hard and I screamed louder than before,which made me even more dizzy.Was Jamie okay?I looked over at him. He took the twitching hand and grabed a pack of matches from the glove compartment He opened the door got out and he lit the hand on fire.
"you okay?" when he was back asked
was I okay? I didn't know. I looked at myself. I seemed fine no injurys. I never calmed down so i probely looked like a mess.
"I'm fine and you?"
"I'm okay ,um,I don't think were going to be able to go to the dance"
"why"I tryed to look unhappy
"the car"
I looked at the car it was was destroyed. Thank god we didnt get hurt. We were stuck until somebody picked us up.I liked this much better than going to that stupid dance. I stared at the car for a long time until I got out and walked over to him.
"I called a tow truck I dont know how long we have to wait,I'm realy sorry"
"Its okay its not your fault"Then I had an idea. I got my ipod from my purse and put one headphone in his ear the other one in mine. I turned on a slow song and put my hands on his shoulders. He smiled and wraped his arms around my waist allowing no space beetween us. He was still taller than me even though I was wearing my high heels.I looked into his beautiful brown eyes as we swayed back and forth to the music.
This was so much better than going to the dance.

MOBILE, Ala. -- The 100th day of the school year near the end of January is a milestone in the life of most students, particularly kindergartners. It means they have survived being away from their mothers for a very long time; they have made new friends, learned to follow rules, achieved academic goals that might have seemed unimaginable that first day of school.
"We spent the first 100 days learning to count to 100," said Sharon Mahan, a kindergarten teacher at Castlen Elementary School. "So on the hundredth day, we celebrated all day and everything we did was related to the number 100."
Activities were planned for fun, but also to impress upon the little ones "the bigness of the number 100." Activities included making necklaces using 100 Cheerios, stirring hot chocolate 100 times, writing to 100, keeping a bubble in their mouths for 100 seconds and doing 100 jumping jacks.
But the big event, the one everybody was waiting for, was the kindergarten parade at the end of the day. "Our parade has become a tradition at Castlen," Mahan said.
"The whole school lent their support — all the classes sat against the walls in the hallways and cheered as we paraded down the middle of the halls," she said.
Sousa marches played over the loudspeaker while kindergartners sported their 100-Day hats, which parents helped them make using 100 flowers or dots, fishing lures or toy soldiers or whatever appealed to the youngsters and including the number 100.
Teachers Ann Bosarge, Tracy McLean and Stacy Krause, along with student teacher Brittany Wilson, dressed as decrepit 100-year-olds, donning specs, wigs and shawls, and marched with their walkers and canes, trying to keep in step with their students.
Each parade unit had a leader, and for Bosarge's class, that was Casey Simmons. Kennedy Hyatt led Krause's class; Kolby Martin headed Mahan's marchers and C.J. Clark was grand marshal of McLean's student parade.
Older students in south Mobile County had a little more serious matter on their minds, as several schools joined in the movement to provide aid to Haiti earthquake victims.
In less than 24 hours, the students in Marcy Miller's Leadership Class at Alma Bryant High School in Irvington raised $1,553 in a "Dollars for Haiti" event held Jan. 22.
At Hankins Middle School in Theodore, sixth-graders Destiny Carlin and Jessica Morie started a campaign to collect money for earthquake victims and, along with their team members, asked students and staff to donate spare change to the cause. Fellow student Trevon Dais and others generously gave a total of $236.
And the students, faculty and staff at Pearl Haskew Elementary School in Irvington raised $700 for relief work in Haiti.

Bayou La Batre Area Chamber of Commerce has elected new officers for 2010: Debbie M. Jones of Mobay Storage Hub/Falcon Gas, president; Amanda Zirlott, RBC Bank, vice president; Dr. Louis Buckalew, U.S. Army Research, secretary; and Al Hopkins, Regions Bank, treasurer.
Board members are Ernie Anderson, Nancy Buckalew, Brett Dungan, Harold Hodges, Mickey Johnson, William Meredith, H. F. "Bud" Robertson, Travis Short, Darrell Steiner Jr., Myra H Sutton, B.G. Thompson and Russell Williams.
In other news from the Bayou Area Chamber, member Bud Robertson said that the recent designation of some portions of south Mobile County roads as National Scenic Byways will be an asset to businesses and communities in the area.
"Once signs go up on the interstate the first part of this year, (the designation) should begin to draw attention of travelers along I-10, East and West. I think it might showcase the area that would have been missed were it not for the Byway," he said.

Two schools in south Mobile County recently netted very high honors. Castlen Elementary School in Grand Bay has been named a 2010 Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools Banner School.
The program was created in 2001 to recognize schools in Alabama that showcase outstanding programs and service to students. Only 12 winners came from the 174 schools or programs nominated.
Castlen and the other schools will receive awards at a luncheon in Montgomery on March 4. Pam Adams is principal at Castlen Elementary.
Dauphin Island Elementary School's second-grade students have been awarded Reading Renaissance Master Classroom certification, the highest national certification level for outstanding performance in education, according to principal Kathy Gallop.
That designation, said Gallop, means that teacher Camille McGuire's efforts "to adopt Renaissance best classroom practices to a high degree resulted in measurable improvement in class-wide student growth and performance over a minimum of one semester."
The students — Mickey Shanahan, Benjamin Mohr, Dizney Kittrell, Kylee Martin, Barry Collier, Neil Shanahan, Gracie Megginson, Stevie Tatum, Jaryn Barnickel, Jordynne Williams and Paige Foster — worked very hard to reach this goal.
This is the fifth year that McGuire's students at Dauphin Island School have achieved this honor. This year's students read more than 1,300 books and 1.8 million words while maintaining an average of 95 percent on comprehension quizzes. Most have improved in their reading ability a whole year in one semester, Gallop said.
The second-graders celebrated their triumph recently with Matt Hornsby, Rick Bowden and Andy Stubbs from Partner in Education Alabama Power Company.
These Alabama Power representatives were also present during Dauphin Island Elementary's Honors Day celebration.
"They provided the certificates for the Honor Roll recipients and, after the program, visited each classroom to share drinks and cookies," Gallop said.
When they arrived in the second-grade classroom, Gallop said, the visitors were serenaded with a love song. Then, while Elijah Mahn and Mickey and Neil Shanahan sang, the others signed the words.
Nan Gray Davis Elementary School students Brandon Rooney, Messiyah Jones and Chloe Nguyen faced a tough challenge recently: to build a tower using as many paper cups as possible. They fought the good fight and won over other competitors by constructing a paper cup tower 34 inches tall, using 96 cups.
These future engineers are members of Science, Engineering, Communication, Mathematics and Enrichment Club at Theodore's Davis Elementary School, where Eileen Mai is principal.
Students at Hankins Middle School have made their selections for eighth grade Who's Who, and they are:
Best Smile: J. D. Johnson, Chelsea Boon, O. J. Atkins, Sable Williams; Funniest: Jeremy Anderson, Terra Morgan, Nick Byers; Most Athletic: Jerry Gibson, Jamey Mosley, Devin Brown; Most Likely to Succeed: Chelsea Helton, Dustin Mosner, Morgan Smith; Most Flirtatious: Landon Gibson, Brianna Hodges, Devine Kun; Most Attractive: Hannah Worrell, Randle Baxter, Wallace Pruitt, Jakalyn Johnson; Most Talkative: Kimberleigh Landry, Amanda Thompson, D'Mario Walters; Friendliest: Arrington Coleman, Jordan Pardue, Nicole Piegza; Best All-Around: Taylor Stone, Madison McCoskey, Hunter Walker; Most Energetic: Lindsey Wamble, Brandon Lim, Amelia Brown; Smartest: Leah O'Rourke, Kimberleigh Neilson, Ricardo Sankone and Best Eyes: Michaela Kling, Sara Gillespie, Tyler Reed.
Castlen Elementary School's fifth-grade PACE class is serious about conservation. Recently the students and their teacher, Susan Fearn, planted pine brush needles at the Grand Bay Reserve.
Students who participated included Jason Miller, Gabi Trosclair, Crimson Sinclair, Michael Andrews, Anna Blackwell, Rebecca Moore, Samantha Collier, Trace Easterling, Jordan Eckert, Courtney Cates and Kayleigh Goodrum.
Hankins Middle School students participated in their annual basketball intramural games Jan. 28. From those competitions came several Most Valuable Player designations, according to the school's media specialist Earon Serra.
Kendrick Nettles, who scored 20 points, won that title among sixth-grade players. With 18 points, Tyler Hosea won for seventh grade. And the Most Valuable Player among eighth-grade basketball players was Jarrius Hackworth with 18 points.
Cindy Sweets, communications representative for Bryant High School, said the Alabama High School Graduation Exam is March 1-5. High Hopes AHSGE Remediation is scheduled through March 5 and will be held after school Monday through Thursday. The program focuses on improving the specific skills students need to be successful on different parts of the test.
Extended Day Tutoring continues after school Tuesday through Thursday. The program provides students with assistance with assignments, make-up tests and AHSGE skills.
The programs are held from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. Bus transportation is provided and there is no cost for the programs or transportation.

Lis Jr. Claims Sixth Stoney Hollow Title
WHEELING – If they ever rename the Stoney Hollow Tire Amateur Golf Championship, it may very well end up becoming the Larry Lis, Jr.-Bryan Myers Invitational.
After all, following Lis' sixth victory in the 14-year history of the biggest event on the Ohio Valley Golf Association's schedule, the pair have combined for 10 championships.
Sunday, Lis, Jr. fired a 69 to finish with a two-day total of 137 to outlast Myers (70 – 138) and Wheeling Park High School senior Thadd Obecny II (69 – 139) to claim the title in a finish that was not without controversy for second place at Oglebay's Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones layouts.
"I had a very solid round and played well (Sunday)," Lis, Jr. said. "But I played with Thadd (Obecny) for the first time and that kid is a gritty, quality player. It was kind of like a train ride for both of us all day.
"Thadd started a run with birdies on 13, 14 and 15, but I birdied 14 and 15 to keep it tied and we both finished with par on 16. But I got a two-shot swing on him on 17 that made the difference.
"He really brought something out in me that had been hiding for awhile. It also didn't help (Saturday)that my putter was a little sleepy, but it definitely woke up (Sunday)."
Before Lis, Jr. got in, Myers had already turned in his card, finishing with a 70 for the day. However, a short time later it was discovered that while he turned in a 70, he signed a card that totalled 69. After everyone had arrived back, and following a lengthy meeting, it was determined that Myers' card was good and his second-place finish stood.
Lis, Jr. actually entered Sunday in a five-way tie for second, that included Myers, just one stroke behind first-day leader Josh Anderson. However, Anderson carded a disappointing 77 Sunday to finish seven shots off the pace.
Myers was able to take home a first-place trophy, teaming with Rico Simonetti for a two-day total 130 to win championship best-ball by one stroke over Lis, Jr. and Rob Dziak.
Joe Hartman (77-70 147) overtook Saturday's leader, Brad Crawford (73-78 151) to capture the First Flight title, while Hartman and Jim Tysk also took home First Flight best-ball (69-68 137) over Scott Sant and Dave Neer (69-75 144).
Dave Clarke's 66 Sunday was enough to propel him to the Senior Flight championship. Clarke finished with a 69-66 135 to edge Mark Mickley (69-67 136), however, the duo did manage to capture the best-ball title with a 65-61 126.
There were plenty of thrills in the Super Senior division with playoff holes needed to crown both individual and best-ball winners.
Gary Schrickel (70-74 144) captured a one-hole playoff over Ray Sovik (74-70 144) while Sovik and Lynn Martin (70-66 136) needed five playoff holes to overtake Mike Greene and John Bailey (67-69 136).

Gardendale filmmaker Carey Rayburn has worked on more than 100 projects, including short films, documentaries, mockumentaries, animated films, spoofs, Christmas variety shows and even an anti-smoking PSA. And now, he's pursuing a television show. Rayburn is filming a feature length television pilot called "Meridian" about a group of people stuck in a strange town, and he hopes to create a series.
The Backstory
Rayburn fell in love with film at a young age. "When I was a kid I wanted to be able to make movies so I just started writing them on my own," Rayburn says. "I taught myself how to write screenplays and me and my buddies would make them. They were horrible little movies that nobody will ever see in their lives."
As he got older, he kept writing screenplays, and in 2001 a friend told Rayburn he wanted to make a film out of one of his scripts. "After that experience, I decided to go on my own so I started Outlaw Film Productions in 2003," Rayburn says. Rayburn got involved with the film community in Birmingham, took courses at Jefferson State Community College in film and television and interned with the Sidewalk Film Festival more than once.
He devoted a lot of time making documentaries, especially ones about Elvis. "I'm a big Elvis freak," he says, checking to make sure he's wearing an Elvis shirt, his typical attire. He just finished a feature length documentary about the day Elvis died called 816. He started the feature in 2003 and interviewed around 500 people for the film, which he submitted to this year's Sidewalk Film Festival. He also submitted Walk A Mile, a short documentary about an Elvis tribute artist who was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, lost both legs and taught himself to walk on his hands.
But Rayburn loves producing fiction work as much as documentaries. "I like doing both," he says. "When I do something like 'Meridian,' which we've been working on for over a year, I like to be able to take a break and go to a documentary. You don't have to worry about whether actors show or finding locations. I'm just basically editing."
In addition to editing, Rayburn writes, directs and shoots. "He's kind of a jack of all trades," says Maria Montz, associate producer. Montz works in pre-production and is in charge of wardrobe and props for "Meridian." She also stood in as an extra in some scenes.
"He is a patient
director," Montz says. "He's very interested in the actors' ideas, and he keeps
everyone laughing with jokes on set."
Rayburn enjoys directing and all aspects of filmmaking, but considers writing the most fun. He says he writes while shooting and is always coming up with stories--even when he sleeps.
The Plot
"It's going to sound a little crazy," Rayburn says. "Meridian was actually a dream I had one night. It was about people on the run, and they were being chased by the mafia or something. They ended up in this town, and the town was kind of blocked off from the rest of the world."
Rayburn says he liked the idea of this town being cut off from the rest of the word, but decided to drop the chase. "I cut all the mafia junk out of it," he says. "You have these five people on the run and one of them has been shot, so they need medical attention. They end up in the town of Meridian looking for a doctor."
Rayburn enlisted the help of Montz and his friend Kenneth Hurd to write the story. "All three of us contributed story lines, and I just wrote the screenplay," he says. "It's kind of like 'Lost' with twists and turns so you need other people to throw ideas at you."
They started writing around April of last year and finished the script in October. Other actors and crew members from the area joined the project, including Jim Brucke, Sylvester Little Jr., Sanford Hardy, Kevin Wayne and Sadie Chapman. Mark Sellors says he was eager to work on "Meridian." Sellors, who Rayburn calls the "go to man for problem solving," is a supporting character in "Meridian" and also helps behind the scenes with lights, props and other crew jobs.
"I've wanted to work with Carey on something for quite a while," Sellors says. Sellors met Rayburn about six years ago when they were both participating in a Sidewalk Film Festival Scramble competition where teams create short films in 48 hours. "He and I both did Scrambles and I liked his work," Sellors says. "What drew me to the project was Carey. He sold it pretty well, and I wanted to be a part of it."
In addition to local talent, Rayburn utilized the North Jefferson County area for his settings, some local businesses donated materials and a lot of the community contributed to an online fundraising campaign.
"So far, we've shot in Mt. Olive, Birmingham, Gardendale and Morris," Montz says. They filmed three scenes at Fortner Firearms in Gardendale and spent three days filming at a farm in Morris. They built a tent city at the property, owned by Shari Graye. Graye, who owns Great American Tent Company in Gardendale, also donated two large tents for the team to use.
Rayburn says the land in Morris turned out to be a great location for the woods surrounding the town of Meridian. "Basically everybody in Meridian that you encounter in the main part of town, it's kind of like they're in a delusion, like they're brainwashed into believing they belong in the city. We didn't want everyone to be like that," Rayburn says.
Some characters in the show discover they come from somewhere
else. Labeled as hostiles, these people are
banished to the woods where they create a tent city.
Rayburn says he has never had to pay for a location, which has helped keep the budget low.
When they started the project, Rayburn launched a fundraising campaign online at indiegogo.com and raised a little more than $1,200. The feature length pilot is halfway through, and Rayburn recently launched another Indiegogo campaign to fund the rest of filming. He is hoping to raise $1,500. A portion of that the money will be used to film one scene in Los Angeles. Rayburn says nothing is confirmed, but he is in talks with two actors on CW television shows to star in the scene.
The Finale
"We plan to be finished shooting in July," Rayburn says. "Then we're searching for an editor. I'd like to have the whole thing in the can by September."
Rayburn plans to submit the pilot to the New York Television Festival (NYTVF) as well as other festivals. Winners at the festivals usually receive enough money, around $10,000 to $20,000, to redo the pilot with high production values and a better chance at landing a television show, according to Rayburn.
"We've got story lines for at least six episodes, but I could probably go to 10," he says.
Montz says "Meridian" stands a good chance at gaining fans. "It's a good project because it's well written, because an ensemble cast gives everyone someone to relate to and because of the action/suspense," Montz says. "I believe viewers will connect with the characters enough to want to see what the outcome might be."
And if they don't win, Rayburn still has high hopes for "Meridian."
"I would like to try to get some companies to maybe sponsor it so we could do a web series," he says. "It probably wouldn't be an hour-long. Maybe we would cut it down to 20 or 25-minute episodes."
"It's good to have the game plan he has," Sellors says. "One reason I wanted to work with him was because he's thinking that far ahead."
Sellors says as an actor, he tries not to think about the outcome of the festival. Instead, he focuses on what he knows--that "Meridian" is a good show. "It's not what you see all the time. It's done in a way that is going to keep you wanting more," Sellors says.
"It's got a good story, and you're going want to see where it goes."

A maintenance contract for a few hundred dollars a year; I'll go back to buying legacy radios like the upcoming FT-2000. Do the code correct the first time. Software can mature early on, later on, or never. I've successfully managed software projects in the past. I've learned that when one uses light duty processors/memory combined with elegant programming, bugs fit into the last category; that is, fix one thing break several other things resulting in code that never gets fixed. I am not a software engineer, thank goodness, but an engineer, project and program manager that was taught the systems engineering and design process.............One cannot end up with 'elegant' code when following a disciplined management/design approach, and bugs usually fit into the first category (that is fix one thing, and nothing else breaks. Been there, Done it......it works, but the investment up front is large. Please do not get me wrong, I've upgraded my Orion to the Orion II. Love the radio.

From all that has been said, v2 has a much better technical base than v1 did. (Of course, you can still run v1 forever if you want.) And v2 has to work for the Orion 2, at least. The DSP code is probably highly similar between the O1 and O2, so things like the SP and AN problems should be fixable. Only the control code should (?) differ. Without knowing the details at TT (and I'm sure they mean to do well by us), I'd say the problem is likely just that there are not enough man-hours allocated for ongoing Orion 1 work (and Orion 2, probably). That's the danger of SDR products - they get shipped before the software has stabilized. After product has shipped, it's hard to motivate investment in software development, since it's a money loser. They have to look toward the next wave of products. Tell me it isn't so! Why not offer a maintenance contract for a few hundred dollars a year, if that would keep the ball rolling? That would change the economics quite a bit. 73 Martin AA6E On 2/19/06, Toby Pennington <email@example.com> wrote: > V2.0 has been a bear for Gary and company, with many hours and weekends > spent trying to get it right.

In one simple sentence, Joanna Tepedino gave a glimpse at just how close she is with Danielle Ponsiglione.
"We played (New York) Panthers together, St. Joseph by-the-Sea together and (the College of Staten Island) together,'' said Tepedino, as if though she was making a resume.
Tepedino, suffice it to say, knows a little something about her long-time friend.
So when it was suggested Ponsiglione, no matter the situation, always seems to have a positive outlook, Tepedino took it a step further.
"When I found out she had (Stage 4 Melanoma cancer), I was hysterical crying and she was consoling me,'' said Tepedino. "That's just the way she is and it's one of the reasons why she's going to absolutely overcome this.''
Tepedino was one of a whopping 65 former players from CSI, Sea, the Panthers and the New York Havoc to take part in a benefit fundraiser for Ponsiglione Monday night at the College of Staten Island's baseball field.
The fundraiser, which was spearheaded by CSI softball coach Stella Porto and Sea athletic director Kathy Kelly, both of which coached the former star pitcher, drew an estimated crowd of over 500 people.
Numerous raffles, a 50-50, food and a DJ were on hand to watch three three-inning softball games played with Ponsiglione taking part.
"I think we did better than we expected,'' said Porto, who said $14,200 was raised prior to Monday's benefit. "People sometimes say, 'they're coming, they're coming,' well, they definitely came and it's just overwhelming.
"We want her to know that no matter what treatment she's getting or what doctor she's seeing, we're going to be there with her.''
"It's amazing to me how many people are here and how many lives she's touched,'' added Kelly. "She's always met any challenge she encountered as an athlete and I think she's going to take the same energy and fire to get through this situation too.''
Ponsiglione is in the midst of a recently approved Food and Drug Administration treatment called Yervoy.
Ponsiglione and her father, Mike Ponsiglione, the former Sea varsity softball coach who currently coaches Brooklyn College, were both astonished by the support she received.
"I'm speechless. I don't know what to say ... It's insane,'' said Danielle Ponsiglione, who spoke to the crowd and threw the first pitch prior to the first three-inning game. "I didn't know I knew this many people.
"It's really nice. People who don't play sports don't understand the family (our softball community) has. We are family and it means a lot to me.''
"As a parent, you try to teach your kids the right thing and then at some point, you let them go,'' said Mike Ponsiglione. "This (turn out) is all her. It's the kind of person she is and it's just incredible.
"Stella and Kathy did a great job putting this together and getting the word out.
"Softball is a small community (in itself) and of all the ugliness that can be involved in it, this is the good part.''

The color is a lively and brilliant dark ruby-red. The perfume is fresh and intense with clean scents of wild berries, currants and sour black cherry. A light hint of vanilla and toasted oak. The flavor is warm and robust, full-bodied, pleasant and balanced.
This Barbera's sensory attributes make it an outstanding accompaniment for imposing first courses and main-course, meats boiled or roasted.
In contrast to its noble French counterparts, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, which flourish in various corners of the world, Nebbiolo rarely thrives outside its native Piedmontese habitat. While relatively resistant to frost, damp and mist, it is highly sensitive to terrain, faring best in the Langhe district's chalky, marly soil of maritime origin.
Producing majestic red wines of phenomenal depth, complexity and longevity, Nebbiolo is the earliest red grape variety in Piedmont to bud and the last to ripen. Its name derives from the early morning mists, or "nebbia," that shroud the lower slopes of the Langhe hillsides during the fall harvest period.
The Marchesi di Barolo estate takes pride in the international reputation it has established for its fine Barolo DOCG and two superb single-vineyard crus, Barolo Cannubi DOCG and Barolo Sarmassa DOCG, all made from 100% estate-grown Nebbiolo grapes.
Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot
Château Bonnet lies to the North of the Entre-Deux-Mers, on the clay-chalk slopes of the commune of Grézillac, overlooking the Dordogne valley some 10km south of Saint Emilion. The estate dates back to the 17th century; when André Lurton took over in 1956, it comprised 30 hectares of vineyard, which he immediately undertook to renovate and develop.
Today, half Bonnet's production is devoted to a highly popular dry white (AOC Entre-Deux-Mers), a blend of Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes, carefully vinified to preserve the freshness and bouquet of these varietals.
The other half is composed of classic red varietals - Merlots, Cabernet Francs and Cabernet Sauvignons - producing noteworthy clarets widely held to be superior to the general run of the appellation.
This classic wine offers top quality year in year out.
Despite his young age, Marcel Guigal took over from his father in 1961 when the latter was victim to a brutal illness rendering him blind. Marcel's hard work and perseverance enabled the Guigals to buy out Vidal-Fleury in 1984, although the establishment retains its own identity and commercial autonomy. In 2000, the Guigals purchased the Jean-Louis Grippat estate in Saint-Joseph and Hermitage, as well as the Domaine de Vallouit in Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage.
In the cellars of the Guigal estate in Ampuis, the northern appellations of the Rhône Valley are produced and aged. These are the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The great appellations of the Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and Côtes-du-Rhône, are also aged in the Ampuis cellars.
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
The wine offers a brilliant ruby red color. As time passes, the hue is enriched with garnet tones that, as the years go by, lighten further toward orange with an ochre tint typical of Tuscan wines. The aroma is satisfyingly intense, fine and elegant, with light scents of ripe fruits and violets. As it evolves, the wine develops an appealing bouquet that is full and complex. It possesses a pleasant fullness and an outstanding balance of body and structure. Somewhat austere in its youth, the wine softens with age, becoming velvety and developing prolonged and appealing aromatic persistence.
Exploring South America is our passion. Not content to continue
growing grapes in the same regions we always have, we set out more
than two decades ago to explore new lands, curious to see how
different soils and climates would affect our favorite wine varietals.
Possessing a beautiful garnet dress, this wine develops a bouquet of mature blueberry, spices and the scents of Garrigue evoking the Mediterranean in its perfumes and its flavors. Fresh in mouth, the wine then evolves with volume and roundness in a very beautiful balance. The finish is long, ending with a silky structure of perfectly ripe tannins. Ready to drink this wine will be, however, reach its height in 5 years.
Composed of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache Noir.
On a manually tended 200 acre vineyard, they've created handcrafted limited-production wines since 1998. Their goal is to serve as a model in terms of elegance, complexity, balance and aging ability among Mediterranean wines.
It is a garnet-red colored wine with a blue hue. Its scent of ripe fruit is dominated by black currants underlined with hints of spices and pepper. In the mouth, it is round and harmonious with long smooth tannins. It is very pleasant when young and it will age very well for five or six years.
Served at 64°F, it is perfect with grilled or roasted meat. It is especially recommended with a leg of lamb.
The Dalle family makes every effort to produce wines that are true to the "terroir" of the Costieres de Nimes.
Château de Campuget wines are produced by respecting tradition while utilizing the most modern oenological techniques. Although equipped with stainless-steel tanks and modern tools, wines are made and matured in a traditional way, and quality is strictly controlled from the vineyard to the bottle. Chateau De Campuget's main varieties are Syrah and Grenache Noir for the grapevines classified in AOC. For white wines, the company uses Roussanne and Grenache Blanc in Costieres de Nimes and Chardonnay in Vin de Pays.

Harlequin, Jun 2001, $4.25, 251 pp.
New Orleans police detective Cody Maxwell knows that paroled convict Gerard Fontenot is coming to kill him for being the catalyst that sent him to prison for four years. Cody Knows Gerard is brilliant, clever, sneaky, and a psychopath. His enemy has slowly increased the pressure until the latest trap leads to Cody taking a bullet in his shoulder at his own apartment.
Instead of going to a hospital, Cody rushes to the Metairie home of his beloved ex-wife Dana Maxwell to insure her safety. Cody knows that Gerard plans to complete his vengeance by harming and ultimately killing Dana. As Gerards plan slowly simmers into focus, the love Cody and Dana feel for each other surfaces, but his dangerous lifestyle sent her running once and now it is even more dangerous.
Mallory Kane has written an exciting romantic suspense novel with the emphasis on the action. The romantic subplot-adds great dimension to the lead couple. The story line is fast-paced and never slows down due to the ingenious Gerard, a powerful villain in a Lex Luther (first series) sort of way. Though his release from prison for good behavior, etc. seems stretched (after all he shot a cop) fans wanting plenty of entertainment filled with conflict (both life threatening and sexual) will relish Ms. Kanes powerful tale. Hopefully there will be more tales involving the heroic hunks law enforcement peers in the future.

A Spring Lake couple who formerly sold insurance to protect professionals from lawsuits are facing criminal charges themselves, accused of stealing nearly $1.8 million from eight insurance companies.
A state grand jury yesterday indicted Brian Mohen, 46, and Lisa Stanko-Mohen, 47, on charges that they failed to turn over premiums for policies they sold through Arden Financial Services, the insurance brokerage they once ran, the state Attorney General's Office said today.
The 27-count indictment includes multiple second-degree charges, including insurance fraud and conspiracy, that carry maximum penalties of 10 years in state prison and up to $150,000 in fines, authorities said.
Arden Financial, which was based in Far Hills, specialized in selling insurance to protect officers of companies accused of negligence, discrimination and malpractice, authorities said.
The indictment alleges that, from 2007 to 2010, Mohen and Stanko-Mohen failed to turn over premiums they received to eight insurers, including Zurich American Insurance Co. and Navigators Insurance Co., state authorities said.
In addition, a state investigation found that the couple had commingled funds that they received as premiums with office funds and misappropriated these funds for their own use, authorities said. State law requires that insurance brokers keep premiums in a segregated trust account.
The indictment also accused Mohen of issuing Zurich Insurance a check to cover a policyholder's premium, while knowing it would bounce. Stanko-Mohen also was accused of forging a document from Navigators Insurance to a policyholder. The couple also faces charges that they failed to file tax returns, as well.
"This indictment sends a strong message to insurance brokers that the theft of insurance premiums by brokers will not be tolerated in New Jersey," Attorney General Jeff Chiesa said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office said the office had no defense counsel information for the couple. Stanko-Mohen is now executive chef at Pastaio, a Spring Lake restaurant, according to her LinkedIn profile. Reached at the restaurant, her husband, Mohen, declined to comment.

The heart of an octopus is a fickle thing…
Cephalopods have quite a neat circulatory system (file that away under "dorkiest things to say at a party".) I'm not joking, though; they do! They have a closed circulatory system, meaning that their blood is contained within blood vessels, instead of just filling their body cavity. All other molluscs have an open circulatory system, where blood is still pumped by one or more hearts, but it flows around the body cavity bathing the organs rather than moving through a set of vessels like it does in cephalopods (and, incidentally, mammals like us!) Powering the closed circulatory system of cephalopods are three hearts, two brachial hearts that pump blood through the vessels of the gills and one systemic heart that pumps blood from the gills through the rest of the body. This figure (from Wells, 1980,) illustrates the circulatory system of (who else?) the octopus: To get oriented, imagine an octopus laying on a table with its arms pointed away from you (towards the top of the image.) This is what you'd see (in beautiful color, with lots of other gunk in there) if you dissected the animal's mantle. The brachial heart is only shown on one side, and is labeled "Gill heart". M. J. Wells studied the octopus hearts rather extensively, describing their basic anatomy and physiology. By recording the pressure inside the aorta of the systemic heart (a method described in his 1979 paper, cited below) he found that the octopus's heart behaves much like most of the other hearts that you may familiar with. Although the heart normally beats at a steady rate, when an octopus is startled or excited (such as by Wells' elegant procedure of sticking a hand in to its tank,) its heart rate and blood pressure increase. He also found that something very curious happens when an octopus is excited: it undergoes temporary cardiac arrest. When you get an octopus really riled up, its heart misses a beat or two. (Keep in mind that any single octopus heart can stop for some time, and the remaining two will provide more than enough circulation to keep the animal alive. Otherwise, the octopus would die when its heart stopped.) In the way of theorizing why this might be, Wells wrote:
It is true that the animal often tenses its muscles when startled. It may flatten out into the 'dymantic' response (see Wells, 1978) or grip tightly to the bottom of its tank. It often ceases to make respiratory movements. Any of these responses might restrict the venous return. But there would appeartbeats, and the effects observed (both the cessation of the beat and its return) often seem to be far too abrupt and complete to permit an explanation based on strangulation of the venous return… It is far more likely that sudden to be plenty of blood in the large vena cavae to supply at least two or three systemic hear cardiac arrest is a direct nervous effect, ordered by the CNS through the visceral nerves.
Basically, the fact that the octopus systemic heart stops very abruptly after the animal is startled suggests that this effect is not due to the surrounding muscle putting too much pressure on incoming veins and physically blocking the blood flow to the heart. Rather, Wells speculates, it is controlled by the central nervous system of the octopus. Why this could be adaptive, I have no idea; in the acute stress responses I am more familiar with (those of mammals), the heart usually speeds up when one is scared. If anybody has a thought on why the octopus would have evolved a heart that quits when the animal is surprised, please post it in the comments. Anyways, I've covered all the background we need to get to the point of this post. Wells did what any curious person would do, given a laboratory full of octopuses; he put males and females together and observed them mating. Unusually, though, he observed them mating while he was recording their heart activity. Specifically, he found that when a male octopus is copulating, his heart often skips a few beats; when he initiates the act, and usually once each time he deposits a spermatophore (these are packets of sperm that the male octopus leaves inside the body of the female.) In his 1979 paper, Wells presents his recording from the systemic heart of a copulating male octopus:
The waves in this recording show the pressure in the heart as it changes over time. Each peak-and-valley pair is one heartbeat. If you follow it from the first line, you can see the heart skip a beat when the female is first introduced to the tank, then twice more as the couple come closer to each other and make contact, and then three more times when the male deposits his spermatophores. Crazy, right?
Before the cephalopod fanboys and fangirls among you run off talking about "octopuses in love" and the like, I should remind you that octopus sex is not generally a very romantic thing, regardless of how romantic it seems that his heart skips a beat when he touches her. In case you're unfamiliar with the mechanics of octopus sex, it goes like this: a male approaches a female and attempts to slide one of his arms inside of her mantle. At the end of this arm is an organ called a hectocotylus. He uses this organ to deposit a packet of sperm (a spermatophore) inside of her. Then he tries to get away without being eaten. It probably skips the beat not because of love, but because he's scared of being strangled during the act! If you don't believe me, just take a look at this video of two octopuses "in love":
Of course, the magic moment can occur in a less violent fashion, with the whole ritual taking a more calm attitude. This occurs more readily when you play Neil Diamond to the octopuses while they are mating. The biological basis of this so-called "Neil-facilitated mating behavior" is still under investigation, though we owe its recent documentation to rman751 :
Watch for the actual copulation at around 2:15, when the male unrolls his arm and inserts it into the female's mantle. Ok, maybe it is kind of cute.
Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time!
