HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Telling friends about music is easier then talking about your faith in most cases. Bands like Skillet, who will be featured at Youthquake 2011 this weekend in Cullman, make it easier to find that common ground with someone who won't be dragged to church.
Skillet's songs "Monster," "Hero" and "It's Not Me, It's You" dominate radio and download sites. That list shows Skillet's rock and alternative sides, but the bands has a softer side, too.
John Cooper's vocals are one of the powerhouse rock voices in music. His range and dynamic from the roughest rock to the sweetest ballad is what has kept Skillet around for over a decade.
From their first, self-titled album to their newest project, "Awake," Skillet has always been ahead of its time. But fans, known as "Panheads," have always known that Skillet ruled the music world. The band's message and consistent passion for new direction continues to shows how a band can have longevity: Focus on songs and not get caught up in the hype or the fame.
When it comes to live shows, Skillet is at the top of the stage. After playing with bands like Theory of a Deadman, Shinedown and Puddle of Mudd, as well as all the Christian music festivals across the country, Skillet's pyro, energy and loud guitars will blow you away.
It's the kind of show that's worthy of a festival called Youthquake. They turn it up to 11 every night, and I predict one festival, and you'll become an instant Panhead.
No matter where you are in your faith or even if you find it hard to share Bible verses or even your own experience with people, the common thread that strings us all together is music. Telling others about the music that positively affects your relationship with God is sometimes really all you ever need to do. And inviting friends to head to Cullman Saturday for this concert would be one way to witnessing everyone will enjoy.
Skillet will be playing with Disciple and Rush of Fools at Youthquake, Saturday at the Cullman Fair Grounds.

'James Gandolfini was real. He was special. You could feel it'
"James Gandolfini was real. He was special. You could feel it"
"Friends felt it," says Matt Zoller Seitz, who first met Gandolfini in late 1998, covering "The Sopranos" for New Jersey's Star-Ledger, just before the HBO series premiered. "Colleagues felt it," he says. "People who talked to him for five minutes and never saw him again felt it. People who never met him in person and knew him only through his performance on 'The Sopranos' felt it. It was real. It was deep. It was true. James Gandolfini had an authentic connection with viewers. Everyone who watched him perform, in a starring role or a bit part, came away feeling understood."
—Tony Soprano wasn't fully formed until Gandolfini beat out Steven Van Zandt and Michael Rispoli
—Without Gandolfini, there would be no Walter White, Carrie Mathison, Vic Mackey
—Steven Van Zandt: "I have lost a brother and a best friend"
—Gandolfini's performance as Tony Soprano will never be equaled
—Gandolfini in 1999 was extremely uncomfortable with his sudden fame
—He was always unfailingly humble about his achievement
—Watch Gandolfini's "SNL" cameo // Fans pack "Sopranos" finale diner
—Is Amazon using Gandolfini's death to sell "Sopranos" DVDs?
—Gilles Marini: Gandolfini was taking a "boy trip" with his to Italy
—In 1988, Gandolfini was a 26-year-old struggling actor, apartment hopping with garbage bags
—Gandolfini's unfinished projects: From CBS' "Taxi-22" to HBO's "Criminal Justice"

Scientists In Australia Tout "Potential Cure For AIDS"
Researchers in Australia report they've learned how to alter a protein in HIV to makes it block replication, rather than spread the virus that eventually leads to AIDS.
"What we've actually done is taken a normal virus protein that the virus needs to grow, and we've changed this protein, so that instead of assisting the virus, it actually impedes virus replication—and does it quite strongly," said Associate Professor David Harrich of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. "I consider that this is fighting fire with fire."
The modified proteins can't cure HIV but, as published in Human Gene Therapy, they have protected normal ones from converting under laboratory conditions.
In theory, they would help keep the HIV at bay, and allow the immune system to function normally. Patients would still be HIV-positive but, says Harrich, "this therapy is potentially a cure for AIDS,"
The treatment, a form of gene therapy involving the patient's stem cells, could work after a single session.
It's something of a runaround on a traditional cure: "You either have to eliminate the virus infection or alternatively you have to eliminate the disease process," says Harrich. "And that's what this could do, potentially for a very long time."
Animal testing is scheduled to start later this year.
Do you think this could be the road to the end of AIDS or just another weapon in the fight? Be heard in the comments section.
"The modified proteins can't cure HIV but…"
"this therapy is potentially a cure for AIDS,"
Really? While it is certainly a wonderful breakthrough, there is a massive difference between allowing an HIV positive individual to love symptom free and actually curing the goddamn disease.
The real question is, will "big pharma" fight behind the scenes to block this treatment!
I want very much to belive that finding a treatment that in essence, blocks a virus from replicating – thus leaving it present yet inert – would be a huge breakthrough. BUt it would also single the end of HAART treatments and billions of dollars of revenue for drug companies. Is it in their interest to see this treatment made mainstream? NO!
My hope is that human need and the idea of "do no harm" trumps drug company profits…but i'm dubious.
GayTampaCowboy, I thought the same thing. Cancer treatments are under this same pharmaceutical suspicion. The Insurance companies may like the idea of symptomless HIV(+) patients needing fewer HAART Tx.
Didn't an Australian find the cure for ulcers too? The scientist was laughed out of conferences. He drank his own beaker filled with H. pylori and treated his subsequent ulcer with antibiotics. The scientific community stopped laughing at him after that. Way to go Australia.
What happend to that Canadian/Korean company that was touting a regular vaccine developed using traditional vaccine techniques that was going into phase 3 trials with the FDA?
We have been hearing press release after press release for the last 20 years "We have the CURE" "We may have the cure!" "We have a vaccine!" "Just 3 years away!" blah blah blah.
Here is a tip: until you have the pill or injection ready for use, shut the fuck up.
If this could cause a persons immune system to behave normally inspite of being infected with HIV, watch for the law suits from the makers of the AIDS drugs to keep the FDA from approving this treatment.
If you mean the story I recall, the vaccine was preventative, but only a low rate (~30%), there was more work to be done to make it more broadly effective.
Notably, its effectiveness, if it works out, is likely to be preventative only, not curative for those already living with HIV.
The research is valuable, (for any treatment) even if it doesn't work out, because it expands the knowledge base for others to work on.
Hi, I work in a communication company I want to share my testimony to
the world, my name is maria Katrina, i am from united kingdom in
Belfast north Ireland, I was a stripper in a club I got effected with
HIV due to the nature of my job, In April 15 2013 i was tested
positive to HIV, This is not design to convince you but its just a
personal health experience . I never taught doctor Hakim could ever
get my HIV-AIDS cured with his healing herb spell, i have tried almost
everything but I couldn't find any solution on my disease, despite all
these happening to me, i always spend a lot to buy a HIV drugs from
hospital and taking some several medications but no relieve, until one
day i was just browsing on the internet when i came across a great
post of !Michelle! who truly said that she was been diagnose with HIV
and was healed that very week through the help of this great powerful
healing spell doctor ,I wonder why he is called the great papa Hakim,
i never knew it was all because of the great and perfect work that he
has been doing that is causing all this. so I quickly contacted him,
and he ask me some few questions and so i did all the things he asked
me to do,He ask me to buy some herbs and which I did for my cure,only
to see that at the very day which he said i will be healed, all the
strength that has left me before rush back and i becomes very strong
and healthy, this disease almost kills my life all because of me, so i
went to hospital to give the final test to the disease and the doctor
said i am HIV negative, i am very amazed and happy about the healing
doctor Hakim gave to me from the ancient part of Africa, you can email
him now for your own healing too on his email:

Mount Si receives Internet grant
SNOQUALMIE Mount Si High School this month
received the second-highest amount of money from the
Washington Internet Curriculum Grant Awards. The $5,650 will be used to
provide additional advanced placement (AP) and college
level courses for students via the Internet.
"It's an opportunity for our whole community, not just
the high school. We believe we are providing a community
learning environment," said Scott Poirier, Snoqualmie Valley School
District curriculum director.
The award was announced by the state's Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Terry Bergeson. Grants totaling $80,000
were awarded to 27 high schools in Washington so students
could take advantage of Internet courses. Approximately 44 schools
had applied for the grants.
Bergeson had requested $2 million to fund the program in
the 2001-2003 biennium. In 1999, the Legislature allocated a
total of $500,000 for the 1999-2001 school year to support the use
of Internet-based curriculum. The grants pay the $350
per-student, per-semester fee for Internet service, plus money for a teacher.
"This is the second year of what we hope will be an
ongoing initiative," Bergeson said. "It
enables schools to better provide high-quality programs
which meet the varied interests of students. It also gives students
a chance to explore their individual interests and receive
college credit at the same time."
Mount Si Web multimedia instructor Joe Dockery said
the grant will go toward two things: the purchase of online or
Web-based advanced placement study exam tools that will prepare
students for tests, and Web courses that give students college credit.
"Students take an advanced-placement test, and if they
pass the test, they get college credit," he explained. "The kids can
log on and go through a series of tutorials that are sort of
custom-made for them. It will show what areas they are strong and weak
in, and then it'll provide multimedia tutorials to give them the
materials for the areas they need extra help in.
"The nice aspect to online classes is that students will
have access to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they
can do it at home and it's really individualized," Dockery
added. "This is first time we'll be offering our own fully online course."
The second half of the grant will fund an online course for
students within the school district that Dockery is teaching.
The class is ideal for students who already have a full schedule or
who cannot fit a Web-based class into their current schedule.
Home-schooled students will be able to take the class, along with
students from another school district, state or country.
"We'd love to have some kids outside of our school take
advantage of its, especially kids in our Valley who are home-schooled
or are in a different situation," Dockery said.
And the best part of an online class, besides the fact that no
paper or textbooks are required: "They can longer say the dog
ate their homework," Dockery said.
The first semester of the new online course starts Jan. 29, so
students who want to sign up should call Mount Si's counseling
office at (425) 831-8152. Sign-up will last until the end of January.

This forum has definitely peaked my interest........ I am on day 1.
65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
This forum has definitely peaked my interest........ I am on day 1.
Bro got cocky and threw down a challenge that I couldn't do this potato thing as long as him, and I'm nothing if not painfully competitive, so it is ON. I ate nothing but 3.5lb of potatoes yesterday. Just had three baked potatoes for lunch. It hasn't been so bad, really. I don't even care if I lose weight. This is for HONOR.
In all honesty, he'll probably beat me, because he's opted for the no-exercise route, whereas I will be continuing with Crossfit because explaining to my coaches that I'm on a potato diet sounds worse than actually being on a potato diet.
Full disclosure: one day in, and I've lost two pounds.
So I got my scale last night. I will be starting taters tomorrow morning.
My height: 5' 11.5" (182 cm)
Starting weight: 212 lbs (96 kg)
Body temperature lying in bed before getting up this morning: 96.8 degF (I think it was this low because I didn't have enough blankets last night; I felt cold when I woke up)
30 minutes post-waking: 98.0 degF
after breakfast, 60 minutes post-waking: 98.6 degF
I will post my starting body measurements, and estimated % body fat calculated from them, when I go home tonight. I plan to update every day until I have completed a 25-lb potato feast, however many days that takes.
Today I will: Eat food, not poison. Plan for success, not settle for failure. Live my real life, not a virtual one. Move and grow, not sit and die.
My Primal Journal
65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
I seriously failed on my first attempt with the potato feast.
After my first day of banana/potato/macadamia nuts under 900 calories I really struggled the next day. I was ravenous. I don't know if it was the banana or what but I could not eat enough. I am never hungry in the mornings anymore. I usually only eat one meal so my body is totally used to not eating until 5ish. But I had absolutely no control over my hunger and ended up eating way too much that second day. No potatos at all.
So my new strategy consists of not eating 1 meal per day. But rather trying a more traditional eating style while on the potato feast. Since carbs are less filling and obviously digest faster my body needs to eat more often. So I started again yesterday. With this new way of doing it.
Here how its gone so far:
Tuesday before feast: Weight 134.2 morning temp - 98.3
Wednesday day 1 of feast:
Morning weight: 133.4 lbs Morning temp: 98.1
-Found a new use for my waffle maker Made dry fried waffle hashbrowns with 3 med. red potatos/vinegar/chile powder/ salt and pepper (actually was kinda good
-One large sweet potato nuked then skinned and eaten with salt and vinegar.
-3 Russets baked then skinned with salt and vinegar and mashed.
Probably was only about 800 calories.
Thursday Day 2:
Morning weight: 130.6 lbs/ Morning temp 98.3
- Made dry fried waffle hashbrowns with 3 med. red potatos/vinegar/chile powder/ salt and pepper.
-One large sweet potato nuked then skinned and eaten with salt and vinegar.
-Lemon and hot water to try to alleviate bloating.
-For dinner I will probably have 3 Russets waffle hashbrown style with vin/ chile pwdr/ salt/ pepper.
Now even with a loss of 3 to 4 lbs, because I fluctuate so much water weight-wise (adrenal issues)I am not gonna call it a win until I actually break through my plateua of 130 lbs. I can fluctuate 3+ lbs in 24 hours depending on my stress level and sodium/ potassium intake and losses through exercise. So.........not bad so far but still not gonna jump for joy yet.
F/37yr/5' 5"
SW: 154 March 2011
CW: 140 July to Oct 2011
PB: 145 gained 5lbs in first 4 months March to July 2012
With a combo of PB and IF-ing 5 days a week (1 x 1200 calorie meal per day) I have lost 15 lbs PB/IF = 130 lbs July 2012 to current
Ultimate Goals ar to be: Happy/ Fit/ Energetic/ Feel great/ Balanced/ cure my thyroid and adrenals

THIBODAUX, La. - University of South Alabama right-hander Matt Bell struck out a career-high nine batters in five innings to lead the Jaguars to an 11-7 win over Nicholls State Tuesday at Ray E. Didier Field.
Bell (2-0) allowed one run on just three hits and issued one walk to earn his second win in as many starts.
"Matt Bell was really good," head coach Mark Calvi said. "He got most of his leadoff outs, and struck out nine and only walked one - it's hard to score off of that. He did a great job of using both sides of the plate and throwing his off-speed pitches for strikes. We're really proud of his effort. He showed us another gear tonight, and that's a good thing moving forward."
Eight Jaguar starters recorded hits in the game, led by Jordan Patterson who went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, four RBI and two runs scored. Hayden Jones finished 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, one RBI and two runs. Bud Collura went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored. Jeff DeBlieux, Nolan Earley and Graham Odom had a hit and one RBI apiece. DeBlieux also scored twice.
USA struck for four runs in the top of the first on an RBI single by Collura, two-run triple by Patterson and sacrifice fly off the bat of Earley.
Jones gave the Jags a 6-0 lead in the top of the third with a two-out solo home run - the first of his career - to left field.NSU answered to cut the Jaguar lead to 6-1 in the bottom of the third on a two-out RBI single by Matt Richard.
In the top of the sixth, South Alabama (11-2) sent 10 batters to the plate and pushed across five runs highlighted by a sacrifice fly from Odom, RBI single by Collura and a two-run from Patterson.
NSU (7-6) cut into the USA lead with a five-run eighth inning that was highlighted by a grand slam from Cody Dufrene and RBI single by David Zorn. The Colonels add the game's final run on a ninth-inning RBI single by Zachary LeBeouf.
"Nicholls State is coached well, and they never quit," Calvi said. "We brought guys in (from the bullpen) that we have been bringing in. But credit them (Nicholls State) for swinging the bats well. We didn't do a good enough job out of the bullpen, but we'll make some adjustments moving forward. To this point, the bullpen has been outstanding. It was just a blip tonight. You still hate to see it happen, but I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day."
South Alabama will return to action Wednesday when it hosts Southern Mississippi at 6:30 p.m. at Stanky Field.

The high school football season will have a later start this year. Practice will not begin until Aug. 19 and the opening games on are Friday and Saturday, Sept. 5 and 6.
This is the first time since 2008 that the season has started after school is open. And the opening games are not on a holiday weekend.
"Our first scrimmage is Labor Day weekend now," Jamestown coach Tom Langworthy said. "Usually our opener is on Labor Day weekend."
There are some pluses to that and Frewsburg coach Terry Gray noted a big one.
"Starting after school starts, I like that idea," he said. "Even if you're on the road or at home, if you start your season before school starts there's a lot of fans that don't even know that you've started."
And Gray cited a big example.
"I remember we played Randolph a couple of years ago and it was a barn-burner and a great game," he said about an opening game before school started. "We played them at home where we'd average over a couple of thousand people if it was week two, three or four, but we barely had anyone in the stands so it didn't really feel like you started yet."
Gray added about another season, "The faculty started back on like Thursday, Friday and kids hadn't even come back yet so they weren't even into the school spirit, they weren't into going to sporting events. So for that case, I'm glad it's (the 2013 football season) starting later."
Maple Grove/Chautauqua Lake coach Curt Fischer echoed that.
''That's definite, our crowd is way down,'' he said about playing a game before school has started. ''I've noticed that.''
Jamestown coach Tom Langworthy feels the same way.
"School's going to be in session and we open up at home," he said about a Sept. 5 game with Niagara Falls. "Hopefully the student body and faculty and staff is well aware of the game and we can get an even bigger turnout than usual for our opener."
He also noted that the opening game is always a challenge, no matter when it is.
"The first day of school usually is always a tough day for the boys because they have a whole new demand outside of football that they haven't had to deal with yet," Langworthy said. "Whether you have that for your first game or for your second game, I'm not sure what the impact is really. But I think always the first game is a real challenge because you really only have roughly 17 days to get all your offense, defense, special teams, your situational work, all of that stuff in so that you can play a game and try to play it at a high level. That's probably the biggest challenge for the early part of the season is getting everything going to feel good about that first game."
Panama coach Chris Payne liked playing his first football game before school was in session.
"It is nice to be the only thing going on at the school," Payne said.
But when he heard the comments of other coaches about playing after classes have begun, he admitted, "That is a plus. Your student body is in school, the kids are able to walk around in school with their jerseys on before the game. It's good to have it that week when everyone knows you're playing."
Gray noted another positive to playing the first game after school has begun.
"Maybe getting back into the school routine and having classes and going to bed at a reasonable time and getting up and being in that routine is possibly better," he said. "I think I enjoy them being back in school, getting in their daily routine and getting a good night's sleep."
Fischer agreed with that.
''It's a little bit better because the kids are acclimated to school, getting up early,'' he said.
What Payne likes most about the later start is that it extends the season further into the fall.
"We've been finishing really early, on the 19th of October last year," he said referring to a loss in the first week of the playoffs. "It should go a little bit more into the school year."
However, Fischer noted, ''The only thing that matters to me (about starting later) is that it pushes it (the season) into the bad weather more. That one week sometimes is a big difference and for the teams that don't have turf, it's tough to get practices in.''
Payne noted that a later start will help with preseason practice.
"We have been running into the situation where we have driver's ed and summer school finishing up in the last week (of practice) and it presents some problems if we try to go during the day and we try to go double (sessions)," he said.
It will also benefit players off the field.
"Kids that have jobs obviously like it, too," Payne said. "They can make some money for college or for whatever and they get an extra week of work."
Langworthy likes it for personal reasons.
" From a coaching standpoint, you get to be with your family a week longer," he said. "I'm looking forward to that part of it."
Because once the season begins, coaches become absent husbands and/or fathers for their families.

A 21-year-old Phillipsburg man allegedly provided police a false name and had drugs and paraphernalia in his vehicle when he was stopped early this morning on Route 22 in Lopatcong Township.
Township police say Paul J. Madlock, 21, of the 200 block of Prospect Street, was weaving in and out of his lane near the Hess gas station about 2:40 this morning. When an officer stopped him, Madlock allegedly gave the name Jamel Madlock, with a date of birth one day off of his own.
When police couldn't find him in their system, he allegedly admitted his real identification, and police learned he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Pohatcong Township. A police news release does not say why he was wanted.
Police searched Madlock's backpack and allegedly found a metal grinder with raw marijuana inside.
He was charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, hindering his own apprehension, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle and failure to maintain lanes. He was turned over to Pohatcong Township police pending a court date.

U.S. Supreme Court Justices will consider whether the Constitution protects a right to gay marriage, and if so, under what circumstances, in the context of California's Proposition 8, which bans gay marriage. Justices will also be asked to consider whether the Defense of Marriage Act improperly denies federal benefits to same-sex couples who are married under a state law.
What do you think? Should it be up to the states or should there be a federal law recognizing gay marriage?

The Dress
Love it or hate it, Kate's dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen was a fabulous example of the power of a perfect fit. Even if the dress's style bored or disappointed you, you had to admit it was flawlessly executed. Personally, I loved it. I'm pleased to see the return to simple, classic gowns on the bridal fashion runways, but the magic here was not just the design, it was the impeccable tailoring. Brides today have a huge number of gown options from designers who understand a modern woman—not the case 15 years ago. Now you lucky women can find any style you love and should spend your valuable time and money to get a perfectly tailored fit. No hiking up the sliding strapless gown, puckering seams, and fallen straps. Hire a seamstress or tailor to get it right on your body and no matter who made it or where you bought it, it will look equally flawless.
Unwanted guests
We've all got them. The parents' college friends you've never met. Business associates you've never even heard of. Not to mention the list of must-invites that you know well and worry will make you, or someone else, uncomfortable. They're the ones who drink too much, can't keep their opinions to themselves for a few hours, or are likely to cause the police to show up at the reception site. Kate and Will had a number of them including the ambassador of a violent dictator who was uninvited at the last minute. They did not invite Will's aunt, Sarah Ferguson since she has a tendency to make a scene (and sell access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew), but her daughters made up for the slight, directing all eyes on themselves by wearing truly obnoxious hats (Beatrice) or clothing (Eugenie).
Kate and Will's invite list was a good lesson in seeing past your own concerns with the confidence that no one has the power to ruin your wedding day—except you. Sometimes "well, it's important to the family, we just have to do it" is actually the right way to look at the situation. Because a wedding is not just for you to get married, that's what the marriage bit is for. A wedding is for your family and friends—weirdos and all—to celebrate the union.

UNESCO announces the awardees of the Youth-led Initiatives Grant Scheme 2013
UNESCO Jakarta Office has selected 4 projects to be supported through its Youth-Led Initiatives Grant Scheme. The awarded organizations are: Yayasan Tunas Alam Indonesia (SANTAI) in Lombok, the Papua Youth Forum, Komunitas Kajian Gender Malang (KOJIGEMA), and Indonesian Greenaction Forum (IGaF) in Bogor. These projects will address a wide range of issues, from reproductive health education, HIV prevention, disabilities, and environmental sustainability in their regions.
The awarded projects have been selected among more than 40 proposals that UNESCO Jakarta Office received from all across the archipelago. The selected initiatives will be supported with up to 3.000 USD, and will be accomplished by September 2013.
The awarded projects are the following:
- SANTAI aims to support reproductive health education in Lombok through their "USULAN Programme". In addition to providing information, youth participation in the development process is hoped to maximize the potential of youths in the local community.
- Youth Papua Forum aims to empower youth to create agents of change in their community to halt the wide-spread of HIV through the medium of music and dance in Papua. This organization believes that interactive training and popular methods are needed to attract young people and encourage them to play active roles as agents of change for their peers and community.
- KOJIGEMA's project "Counseling and Disability Peer Educator 2013" will work with schools for students with disabilities in Malang. It aims to establish awareness of disability and sexuality issues for young people with disabilities.
- IGaF will work on "A Green Pathway for Sustainable Environment". This project aims to engage active and passionate children and youth as well as environmental organizations to advance their environmental awareness, role, action plan and commitment in environmental conservation.
Activities will explore the great varieties of ways in which youth can contribute to their communities through active participation. A particular focus will be given on the participation of vulnerable and marginalized youth groups, youth living with disabilities and youth from disadvantaged regions. UNESCO Jakarta will publish the results and achievements of the grantees in October 2013.
UNESCO Jakarta's Youth-led Initiatives Grant Scheme 2013 is part of its new youth focused programme on Building Skills for Youth Civic Engagement in Indonesia. The overall goal of this initiative is to contribute to youth empowerment and engagement of young women and men in their communities through support to opportunities for youth leadership and youth led-initiatives. The project has also strong linkages with Post-2015 Development Agenda, ensuring that youth can express their ideas and concerns about the ¨future they want¨ and making their voices heard.
UNESCO Jakarta would like to thank all applicants that participated in the grant scheme for sharing their ideas and initiatives. UNESCO will continue to provide spaces where Indonesian youths can express themselves, ways to speak out, and channels to influence decisions that affect them as human beings and as members of society. For more information and upcoming opportunities, please visit our website at unesco.org/Jakarta.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama - The state Board of Education today recognized Spain Park High School in Hoover as Alabama's nominee for the ACT College and Career Transition Award.
ACT, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people achieve an education and success in the workplace, gives the award to a high school based on numerous factors, including its aggregate ACT college entrance exam scores and the percentage of students reaching ACT benchmarks for success in college English, math, reading and science courses.
Other factors considered include: improvement in the percentage of students reaching those benchmark scores; success in serving students of underrepresented racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds; dedication to ensuring students are prepared for success after high school; and leadership opportunities for students outside the classroom.
ACT next will review nominees from the eight states participating in the organization's College and Career Readiness Campaign: Alabama, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.
ACT will select four national semifinalists, and then a national selection committee comprised of education and workforce development leaders will pick one honoree for national recognition. The national award recipient will be recognized at the ACT National Gala on College and Career Readiness in Washington, D.C., on June 3.
ACT also gives out awards for student readiness (to an individual student that has overcome adversity or extraordinary circumstances to achieve success), career preparedness (to a college or university) and career success (to a company that has a good relationship with high schools or colleges and uses career readiness assessments for recruitment and career advancement for employees).
The Alabama Department of Education's nominees for the other awards are:
- Student Readiness Award - Jared Crawford, Section High School, Jackson County Schools
- Career Preparedness Award - Shelton State Community College
- Workplace Success Award - Rheem Manufacturing

Todd Frazier's two-run home run in the 15th inning on Monday night ended a 27.1 consecutive scoreless innings streak by the Nationals 'pen. However, the 27.1 scoreless established a new team record (2005-present), eclipsing the previous mark of 23.3 innings (from Sept. 11 – 17, 2011).

The band left June 24 to participate in ceremonies marking the start of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
The band, featuring members of Red Land and Cedar Cliff High Schools, was only one of two high school groups selected to represent the United States in the festivities. The band played on the Great Wall of China and in the Forbidden City, among other events.
Red Land returned first late Thursday night to a small welcome celebration at the high school. The plane carrying Cedar Cliff students was delayed, and band members were not anticipated to arrive home until early this morning.

Integrating the Financial Crisis in the Business Associations Course: Benefits and Pitfalls
Afra Afsharipour
University of California, Davis - School of Law
March 11, 2010
Journal of Business and Technology Law, Vol. 5, pp. 5-21, 2010
UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 209
In a time of economic turmoil, teaching business law classes can be both inspiring and precarious. The inspiration is easy to come by; in a class that students once took somewhat begrudgingly, they are now participating in impassioned discussions. At the same time, one cannot ignore the difficulties that can arise when discussing such tumultuous activity. The challenges of teaching about economic turmoil are magnified when teaching about a global financial crisis, the likes of which the world has not seen in many decades. It is often difficult to balance conveying the essential substantive material that should be covered in a class with the undertaking to help students comprehend the crisis, especially at a time when its causes and full effects are not yet fully understood. This essay provides a first-hand account of integrating the financial crisis in the Business Associations course and discusses the benefits and pitfalls in doing so.

Apodans, also called caecilians, are not familiar to most people, in the way for example that frogs, toads, and newts are, nor do they have any common names. They live in the tropics and resemble large, gray earthworms, having no limbs and only minute, almost useless eyes. They do, however, have tiny scales in their skin – a feature absent from other amphibians. Most of them burrow in damp soil but a few live in water. The eggs are large and laid in damp soil or in water, but some species are viviparous.
The free-living larval stage may be suppressed as in some salamanders.

Fisher Center Announces Lineup
Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009
In the fall, the Fisher Center for the Study of Women and Men will take on a new theme and a new director. From "Animation and Gender," the Fisher Center will shift its focus to "Engendering Crisis" under the guidance of incoming director Cedric Johnson, associate professor of political science.
With former Fisher Center director Betty Bayer, professor of women's studies, stepping down from the position, Johnson was asked to lead the center after an across-the-board nomination was made by current members of the center's Program Committee, former directors and the center's Resource Committee.
"I'm looking forward to stretching myself in this new role on campus," said Johnson. "I've done similar work during graduate school as the assistant director of the African American Leadership Institute in the University of Maryland's James McGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, but it'll be nice to add to that experience as a professor at Hobart and William Smith."
Johnson added that, "I'm also looking forward to getting to know students, staff and faculty and people beyond campus, who are interested in and will surely have great insights about the Fisher Center. These are people who I may not have had contact with just serving as a professor."
In his new role as director, Johnson and the center's committees will tackle the tough issue of "Engendering Crisis" and crisis in general. "Most obviously, we'll be dealing with the economic crisis in this region and more broadly as a national phenomenon - it's certainly a timely subject," Johnson explained. "But we're also looking to explore crisis beyond that of macroeconomics. There are many scholars who are writing in different disciplines about the topic: it applies to gender studies and to the lives of ordinary people."
To begin that multifaceted dialogue, Johnson and the Fisher Center will welcome Argentinean scholars Graciela Monteagudo, a human rights activist and community artist, and Marcelo Vieta, a social and communications researcher and technology theorist, on Wednesday, Sept. 23.
Monteagudo and Vieta will use their different fields of expertise to discuss how people responded to Argentina's economic crisis in 2001, which left half of its population below the poverty line.
"Their lectures will also open another aspect of 'crisis' that we want to explore: the original Greek meaning of the word, which suggests crisis as not only a time of deep problems but also as a time of decisiveness and moment of opportunity as it was for Argentina to enact numerous popular movements to reinvigorate the economy," Johnson said.
While the Fisher Center is currently finalizing the 2009-2010 speaker series line-up, the Center, in partnership with the religious studies department, has scheduled American philosopher Richard J. Berstein, Vera List Professor of Philosophy and former dean of the graduate faculty at The New School, to speak on campus on Thursday, Oct. 22. The following month on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the center will welcome Andrea Tone, Canada Research Chair in the Social History of Medicine and McGill University joint professor in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine and the Department of History.
The Fisher Center was endowed with a $1 million gift from Emily and the late Richard Fisher, whose son Alexander graduated from Hobart College in 1993. Creation of the Fisher Center for the Study of Women and Men reflects a perfect intersection of the Colleges' coordinate history and trends in the study of gender throughout academe.
Johnson, an associate professor of political science, teaches courses on American politics, inequality and urban politics. He is the author of "Revolutionaries to Race Leaders: Black Power and the Making of African American Politics" (University of Minnesota Press, 2007) which was awarded the 2008 W.E.B. DuBois Outstanding Book Award by the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. A native of south Louisiana, he is currently editing a collection of essays on the politics of disaster and reconstruction in the Gulf Coast region titled, "The Neoliberal Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, Late Capitalist Culture and the Remaking of New Orleans." Johnson's writings have appeared in In These Times, Monthly Review and New Political Science. Johnson also serves on the planning committee for the Rochester Labor Lyceum.

Major League Soccer and USL PRO -- the 13-franchise loop that includes the Harrisburg City Islanders among its members -- will conduct a conference call Thursday to discuss a multi-year partnership that will feature play between the professional leagues.
For the rapidly approaching 2013 season, the newly formed partnership will feature interleague play between USL PRO teams and MLS' Reserve League sides as well as the establishment of several exclusive affiliation arrangements.
The City Islanders and MLS' Philadelphia Union have been aligned for the past two seasons, with players floating between the entities on loan agreements.
Sporting Kansas City of MLS and Orlando of USL PRO, meanwhile, announced their exclusive affiliation agreement earlier Wednesday.
Each affiliation will be customized to fit needs of both entities, with at least four MLS players assigned to USL PRO clubs on long-term loans. Those MLS teams with formal affiliations will not participate in MLS' Reserve League.
Each of USL PRO's 13 teams will play two games against Reserve League groups, with both contests counting in the USL PRO standings. For City Islanders fans, that means a 26-game regular-season schedule is on tap.
USL PRO, by the way, is planning to release its schedule Thursday afternoon.

What is the Haiti Mobile Money Initiative?
The Haiti Mobile Money Initiative (HMMI) is a program launched in June 2010 that is jumpstarting the delivery of financial services by mobile phone in Haiti. The program offers incentive funds—a total of $10 million—to entities that offer mobile money services in Haiti. These awards included the first and second service providers to launch mobile money services, and reaching specific transaction milestones.
HMMI is a partnership between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
As part of the program, USAID offers technical and management assistance and other funding totaling approximately $5 million through the Haiti Integrated Finance for Value Chains and Enterprise (HIFIVE) project.
In support of HMMI objectives, HIFIVE has been working with a number of NGOs and private sector companies to develop grant and public-private partnerships to support the development of mobile money applications and solutions including:
- Yellow Pepper: National agent network development in conjunction with Digicel.
- Mercy Corps: Applying mobile money as a tool in humanitarian programs in conjunction with USAID Food for Peace programs and Voila.
- Transversal: Mobile Platform for Customer Acquisition and Agent Services in conjunction with World Vision, Univicity, and Digicel.
- Yellow Pepper 2: Expanding financial access through improved distribution analytics.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided $10 million in award funds and $4.7 million for related activities.
Which prizes have been awarded?
In January 2011, Digicel received the first award ($2.5 million) for launching a mobile money service in Haiti, TchoTcho Mobile. In August 2011, Voila received the next award ($1.5 million) for being the second mobile operator to launch a service.
In October 2011, the first scaling award of $100,000 was divided between Digicel and Voila for reaching the 100,000 transaction milestone. In June 2012, Digicel and Voila split the second $1 million award for reaching the 1 million transaction milestone. And in July 2012, Digicel and Voila split the final $3.2 million award for reaching the 5 million transaction milestone.
Both operators shared the prize money for reaching the transaction milestones based on each of the operators' proportional contributions to the milestones. All the prizes were awarded after a detailed verification process was completed.
What progress has been made?
Since their launch in Haiti in 2010, TchoTcho Mobile of Digicel and T-Cash of Voila have grown rapidly. Haitians are beginning to use these services to address a variety of problems they face daily in making payments, sending and receiving funds and managing their money. The expanding network of agents for mobile money services will offer greater convenience to Haitians, bringing access to safe, convenient, financial services closer to their front doors. TchoTcho Mobile and T-Cash have spread throughout the country, with a network of agents that increased from 200 in December 2010 to 2,270 in January 2012.
How can mobile money transform Haiti?
Before the earthquake, only around 10 percent of Haitians used traditional banks.
Mobile money services can dramatically broaden access to banking services. Enabling Haitians to send, receive and store money using their mobile phones has the potential to dramatically improve their lives and leapfrog more conventional banking models to more convenient and affordable alternatives.
The destruction of more than one-third of the country's bank branches and ATMs in the January 2010 earthquake meant severe cash shortages for Haitians. In the short term, mobile money services have contributed to Haiti's recovery by helping families and friends, humanitarian agencies, charities and donors get aid money and remittances into the hands of Haitians.
In the long term, mobile money could help millions of Haitians improve their lives through easy access to savings accounts and other financial services. HMMI is laying the foundation for financial services that could be an important component to help Haitians lift themselves out of extreme poverty.
The effectiveness of mobile money offerings has been demonstrated by a similar service in Kenya, M-PESA. Just three years after its launch, M-PESA has more than 13 million customers, is used by more than 70 percent of Kenya's households, and does more transfers per year domestically than Western Union, the money transfer company, does globally. Research shows that Kenyan households who have access to M-PESA are better able to manage negative income shocks such as job loss, harvest or business.

Great theaters are made by great plays and Southern Rep has one in "The Breach."
The theater and its producing director, Ryan Rilette, have taken on the monumental subject of Hurricane Katrina, responding with a one-two knockout punch: John Biguenet's intense, intimate two-character play "Rising Water" and now "The Breach," a powerful, perceptive overview; a capacious theatrical canvas encompassing the personal, political and poetic, with an infinite palette of emotional color, including the surrealistic. Its reach may exceed its grasp at times, but it is a fervent dramatic embrace of our battered city and its people.
Playwrights Catherine Filloux, Tarell McCraney and Joe Sutton tell three stories, but touch on a good many more. They have thrown their net far and wide into the water, returning with a rich catch that plays out movingly, mysteriously and humorously in fluid vignettes with the accumulative strength of a storm and the calm of its aftermath. All this is accomplished with an economy of means -- six superb actors playing 16 roles -- and the alchemy of stagecraft, artfully deployed.
The first line of the play is "It was rain that woke us up that morning, rain and water pounding on our windows and slamming into our doors." This is the adult voice of Yahmilla, from the future, looking back at Quan, the child she was at 7, when she, her older brother Severance and their sanctimonious grandfather Pere Leon spent scalding days and endless nights waiting on their roof to be rescued.
Mac is a middle-aged bartender confined by multiple sclerosis to a wheelchair, a soldier-survivor who has dodged bullets of all sorts before, only to endure a long, brutal battle with Water herself, a gleefully malevolent she-devil delighted with the death, destruction and suffering she is causing.
And then there is Lynch, a young, free-lance reporter, "trying to understand this," which is at first the cataclysm itself and the criminally slow response to it. Soon, though, he becomes obsessed with rumor, the cry of the poor, the black people, the abandoned, who believe that the levees were dynamited, as they were in 1927, to save the rich part of New Orleans. The fact that in the flood that followed Hurricane Katrina, great numbers of white people perished, too, does nothing to shake their conviction. Lynch makes a passionate plea that such myths damage the creditability of demonstrable wrongs. "Are you from New Orleans?" asks the unnamed woman who is the most insistent conspiracist. "Well, then you can't understand this." She is talking about a larger truth "that represents in some sense the real truth of what actually occurred," the corruption and negligence, the systemic oppression of people that has taught them to expect the worst.
These playwrights capture not only the cadence of our speech, but the free-floating and very specific anger Katrina engendered, along with the resilient mind-set of hope, when reason tells us there should be none.
"When you've had a history with a place, you share that history like a marriage," Mac says, explaining why he won't leave town even post-storm. "This may look like a disaster, but I still see the other place that it was more than anything. What am I going to do in Seattle? It's always raining."
Heartbreak and humor walk hand-in-hand here. The most dramatic, complex story may be that of Severance, his grandfather and sister. Pere Leon is always on Severance's case for running the streets, his friendship with "that yellow boy from the Ninth," and his unknown, but intuited sins. Their dialogue seems rancorous on the page, but as knowingly played by the masterful Lance Nichols and the impressive, vigorous Kenneth Brown, they sing with laughter, in the midst of lamentation. The irony is that Severance becomes the responsible man Pere Leon wants him to be on the rooftop, along with the dawning realization that he is also the kind of man his grandfather cannot abide.
Bob Edes is an actor of limitless talent and phenomenal range. His Mac is a complicated character played with such clarity and force that even his hallucinatory episodes are instantly understood.
Troi Bechet makes every word count as she narrates her rooftop ordeal and has confrontational attitude to spare as the insistent Dame Rumor. Bechet's exquisite singing voice is another asset.
Sean Patterson is the earnest, questing reporter on the trail of an ephemeral story and also plays Mac's heroic soldier son Francis who must leave after the storm to return to Iraq. Kesha Bullard is a chameleon, playing the child Quan, the enticing, calamitous Water Witch, a soul-weary nurse and a wise young poet. All of the actors play multiple roles. Dynamic individually, they are also a purposeful ensemble.
Ryan Rilette's staunch direction serves the play with bold strokes and small, telling moments, attentively illuminating the text.
Bill Liotta's lighting makes great use of darkness, fingers of illumination singling out characters and a memorable meeting with the reporter by candlelight, the flames extinguished one by one as he is left in the dark in more ways than one. Eric Shim's music and sound design is wonderfully strange, startling and ominous.
Takeshi Kata, who designed the sets for Southern Rep's "Yellowman" and "Intimate Apparel," gives us an elegantly spare environment: a dark wall, a boxy proscenium revealing a patch of sky, a slanted ramp of squares of various wood grain assembled like a puzzle, leading into the major element of the set and the play itself: a large, enclosing body of dark water.
The water that kills you also can soothe, cleanse and keep you alive. This water is like Quan's dream of "the world crying." It is a pool of tears.
"The Breach" is an epic in microcosm, an enthralling, cathartic theatrical experience. Not because I say so, but because it is there, to be seen, heard and most importantly, felt.
What: A new play by Catherine Filloux, Tarell McCraney and Joe Sutton, directed by Ryan Rilette.
When: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. through Sept. 30.
Where: Southern Rep, 3rd Floor Shops Level, Canal Place, 365 Canal St.

PITTSBURGH -- A Cayuga County man who saved a farmer from a rampaging bull last year is one of 22 people honored with medals for heroism by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission in an announcement Thursday.
Brian D. Lozier, a 23-year-old carpenter from Sterling, N.Y., rescued a farmer from a 1,100-bull that had attacked him in Cato, N.Y.
Dinkins, 41, swam 150 feet offshore, took the girl from her father and started to swim toward the beach. As Dinkins began to struggle in the strong currents, other people helped the girl and her father to safety. But Dinkins, who was from Lewisville, N.C., lost consciousness and couldn't be revived.
Other medal winners honored are from New Jersey, California, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Arkansas, Tennessee, Maine, Rhode Island, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Minnesota, Virginia and Ontario and Saskatchewan, Canada.
Carnegie medalists or their heirs receive financial grants approved by the commission. More than $35 million has been awarded to 9,633 honorees since the fund's inception in 1904. New recipients are announced four times a year.
Steel baron Andrew Carnegie was inspired to start the fund after hearing rescue stories from a mine disaster that killed 181 people.
The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, based in Pittsburgh, says its mission is to recognize people who perform heroic acts in civilian life and to provide financial help to those disabled, or to the dependents of those killed, by their heroism.

AVON LAKE, Ohio - My favorite memory of the day started at 4:45 a.m., when I pulled into the parking lot and it ended 18 hours later at 10:45 p.m., when my family was waiting and cheering for me in the kitchen as I arrived back home.
It was basically one great memory after another and I can't thank The Plain Dealer enough for such a wonderful experience. Getting texts of encouragement from family and friends throughout the day provided great boosts of energy. During this event I made seven new friends who I hope to see and play golf with again someday. And player assistant Emily Rogers was truly an angel of mercy as she followed us all around the course with plenty of water and Gatorade.
My favorite non-golf related memory was during our first round, when we spotted (no pun intended) two very young fawns in the woods right off one of the fairways. It was quite a rare sight to see, especially since we didn't notice any adult deer nearby. The funny part was that all of us were struggling with how to use the zoom feature on our camera phones, so I would be surprised if anyone actually got a good picture of that incredible scene!
As for the golf, I truly enjoyed everyone's company and also everyone's game. A few specifics:
Bud's stellar shot making from tee to green. All day long, he was the picture of consistency and also was a great playing partner.
Dorothy's incredible enthusiasm for the game -- her positive attitude sure made that first round much more enjoyable for our foursome. And she can really hit it off the tee!
Tim's great sense of humor. Playing the last round with Tim was delightful. As tired as we were, there were many laughs in our cart, and he hung in there hitting nice shots until the end.
Brandon playing through aches, pains and even a bloody nose down the stretch yet still hitting it pure with just about every swing.
Dennis' awesome power fade off the tee and his booming "announcer voice" recap of good shots -- "KD crushes another one off the tee."
Josh's overall game, but especially his tee bombs. Wow, can he hit it long! And congrats on your first eagle, buddy.
Kristen's very slow and deliberate, but very effective, swing. Back... back… back… pause at the top… down…. "boom", right down the middle! She also got robbed all day long on the greens even though she putted great.
Overall this was truly one of the most enjoyable days of my life and something I will remember forever. Thanks Kristen, Tim, Bud and Dennis for picking me and also for picking Dorothy, Josh and Brandon. It didn't matter how we matched up our foursomes throughout the day – every combination provided a great group of people to play with and I thoroughly enjoyed each round.
Other than just being very tired the next day, I felt pretty good. I actually played five holes of golf the next evening at a company dinner event! It was truly a great experience and I hope to see everyone next year!
Hinckley resident Rick Slovenec, 51, is director of operations for Whirlaway Corp. in Wellington.

Jim ---End Quote--- It's worth every penny, IMO. the fishing is fantastic with small single handed rods and hefty fish. There's a real chance of a fish in every pool, with some offering more than just a chance..! On the 'flagship' pool for the river 'Hnausastrengur' if you're the first down it in the morning, you can usually get a fish within a couple of casts. On the last morning i hooked 20 in there, landing 9 between 7.30 and 12pm! - fantastic, although it can switch off like a light just as easily... You'll love it there.

Abraham Lincoln, quoting St. Matthew, told America "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Apparently, the South Jersey version of Lincoln's party has forgotten that. Or maybe they just disagree with the ancient Evangelist. Either way, a internecine war is brewing in the GOP.
The war was touched off with Rep. Jim Saxton's announcement that he would not seek another term. Just as Bob Menendez' ascension to the Senate pealed back the scabs of petty ambition in Hudson County last year, Saxton's retirement made every ambitious Republican in the third district look in the mirror and say, "Why the hell not?"
One answer to that question may lie in the power politics of the three counties that lie partially within the 3rd - Ocean, Burlington, and, to a much lesser extent, Camden. Ocean County is run by George Gilmore, and he wants an Ocean County native in Congress. But Burlington County boss Glenn Paulsen isn't ready to go down without a fight. He can't afford to.
Paulsen is one electoral defeat away from being the "former power broken in Burlington County" - and there are plenty of people who wouldn't be sorry to see him go. Paulsen manages to cling to power through the use of Chairman Bill Layton as a proxy. But this is Jersey, and once-removed from power can quickly become "removed from power" - a lesson even Frank Hague learned at the hands of his own "boys". And with Paulsen's ethical baggage and lingering questions over the Bridge Commission (also known as "Glenn's Slush Fund"), it's unsure exactly how much mojo Paulsen could lend a candidate.
But it isn't as if Gilmore is an archangel himself. He has his own ethical baggage (this is Jersey - who doesn't?). And, as Rudy Guiliani's state campaign chair, Gilmore is intrinsically tied to the fortunes of Hizzoner Mayor 9/11. Given that the Master of Disaster is in single digits in Iowa and running a distant third in New Hampshire, Gilmore looks a bit like Humpty-Dumpty admiring the view from the top of the wall. And it doesn't get any better when you look at South Carolina - so it's unclear if the Rude-ster will be in the race long enough to win New Jersey. It isn't Gilmore's fault, but he won't look any stronger if he has backed a lame horse so strongly (though it helps that Layton is a Rudy man, too).
Perhaps this explains why no Republican seems to want to inherit Saxton's seat. Or perhaps it is that State Senator John Adler is already on the ground and running. And he has been promised backing from the DCCC.
Still, Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly has been given the nod by his organization and Chris Myers, a VP for Lockheed Martin who has the cash to self-fund his campaign has the backing of Burlington County. Both declare that they are not competing with each other - which is something that people always say early in the campaign when they aren't sure how the cards will fall. Kelly is counting on his life-long political connections to keep his campaign going while Myers will be looking to his corporate connections to try and clear the field by amassing a warchest.
So which matters more - who you know or what you can spend? Is Kelly standing up for the democratic process or is he just being a sacrificial lamb before Chris Myers' ambition? Will Kelly's hardcore stance against benefits for Laurel Hester boost him with the socially conservative base or will Myers milquetoast moderate credentials molify Jersey Republicans? At this point, it's hard to tell. But the bigger question is whether or not the GOP house will still be standing by the time we have answers.

Correction appended.
UPDATE: The Oregonian learned after press time that Wet Hot Beef owner Shane Hendren closed the cart on Wednesday, and put it up for sale on Craigslist. Reached by telephone, Hendren said the cart was sold today, and that it would not continue to operate as Wet Hot Beef.
Anyone who frequents a food cart pod can tell you it's easy to end up eating at the same few places each time you visit. Recently, while at the Alder Street food carts, I ventured out and ended up, happily, at Wet Hot Beef.
The roast beef is fabulously tender. The au jus is flavorful and not too salty. The sandwich had both pickled and caramelized onions -- their flavors balancing each other wonderfully.
The chow: Roast beef sandwiches. They come three ways: "Naked" is simply sliced piedmontese beef with au jus ($6.25). "Dressed" adds pickled onions and caramelized sweet onions ($6.75). "Indecent" doubles the au jus and adds a rich cheese sauce ($7.50).
The Indecent was a soggy mess by the second half of the sandwich, but it was a delicious, soggy mess.
Real deals: Try the house-made potato chips ($1.25).
Hangout factor: Not much. It's a food cart in a parking lot full of food carts. Take your food a block away to O'Bryant Square to eat.
Liquids: House-made sodas are $2.
What's half-baked? The sophomoric name.
11 a.m.- 4 p.m. Monday-Friday; corner of Southwest 10th Avenue and Washington Street; 360-609-9008; wethotbeef.com
The article reflects a correction published Friday, Aug. 12: Wet Hot Beef closed Wednesday and was sold Thursday. Today's A&E, which is printed in advance, has a story about the food cart.
