Remnants of Hurricane Sandy continue to cause strong winds and rain in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and will begin to swing northward into western New York State today. Many people on the east coast are still displaced, and our Petfinder member shelters and adoption groups continue to report in to us as they can.
Contact your local shelters and rescue groups to see if they need volunteers or donations. Even shelters that had no damage but had power failures may have lost vital medical supplies that must be replaced. Shelters who safely evacuated and then returned to damage-free shelters nonetheless may have incurred high costs while safely shifting pets.
Remember to take your pets with you if you ever need to leave home in a weather emergency. A list of pet-friendly evacuation shelters, broken down by state and county, has been published on Examiner.com to assist while communities recover from Hurricane Sandy.
To reach out to assist a shelter or rescue group listed below, please click on the name of the organization. You will be taken to their Petfinder homepage which contains their contact information. Please help if you can!
Check out the groups who need help!
- Lucky Cat Rescue captured a number of feral cats before the arrival of Hurricane Sandy, to protect them from the storm. They need funds to help spay/neuter the cats and homes to place their existing adoptable pets as well as the new kittens they have rescued.
New Jersey:
- Alley Cat Allies (ACA) is monitoring the welfare of the Atlantic City Boardwalk cats. These feral cats have been spay/neutered, vaccinated, and cared for daily, to lower the overall population of cats on the boardwalk. ACA reports that many cats have already returned to their colonies after the devastating weather. Two have been captured for veterinary care. ACA is looking for volunteers to help monitor and assist the cats. If you live in or near Atlantic City and want to help, please contact ACA at email@example.com or 240-482-1980, ext. 330. ACA would also like to hear from any feral cat caretakers who need assistance after the hurricane.

Third-Party Inspection (Devices)
Accredited Persons Inspection Program
The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) was signed into law on October 26, 2002. Section 201 of MDUFMA establishes a new subsection "g" to section 704 (Factory Inspection) of the FDCA, which requires FDA to accredit third parties (Accredited Persons) to perform inspections of eligible manufacturers of Class II or III devices. This is a voluntary program. While all firms remain subject to inspection by FDA, eligible manufacturers have the option of requesting inspection by an Accredited Person (AP). However, inspections by APs are limited to manufacturers who meet certain conditions.
- Additional Information on the Accredited Persons Inspection Program (Including a List of Authorized Accredited Persons)
Pilot Multi-Purpose Audit Program (PMAP)
On September 7, 2006 the U.S. FDA and Health Canada (HC) mailed a letter to U.S. FDA Accredited Persons for Inspection and HC's Third Party Auditing Organizations, called Canadian Medical Devices Conformity Assessment System (CMDCAS). The letter announces a pilot multi-purpose audit program (PMAP) that will allow qualified auditing organizations in both programs to perform a single inspection that both agencies can use. The purpose of the pilot is to evaluate the effectiveness of performing a single third party inspection/audit of medical device manufacturers' quality systems that would meet the needs and regulatory requirements of both countries.

Gender Identity Charter Amendment
The group "Citizens for Good Public Policy" got enough signatures on a petition to allow voters to decide whether to keep the ordinance.
Cain Davis, the group's chairman, says the language presented in November was fine.
"The city attorney, they're own attorney brought forth what was legally acceptable language for this petition," says Davis. "And in the City Commission's last meeting they were trying to make it more of an advertisement against the ordinance as opposed to saying what the ordinance is about."
City Commissioner Craig Lowe, who supported the Gender Identity Ordinance, says the the ballot language proposed in November was unacceptable because it didn't express the full impact of the proposal.
"In terms of removing anti-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and other classifications as well," says Lowe.
The Supervisor of Elections Office can't print out ballots until the wording is finalized.
"Well once the city finishes it's review on the ballot language what they'll do is they'll give us the final version that they want to have appear on the ballot and we'll go ahead and program the ballot to include that," says Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter.
Davis says the ballot language must reflect the original petition.
"We will act on behalf of the citizens to and exercise our legal rights to bring this issue in any court if that's where we end up being."
Lowe says the final language should be one that best informs the public.
"That the people deserve to know what the impacts are."
The Supervisor of Elections Office needs to receive the ballot language my mid-January for it to appear on the March 24th ballot.

Cogent, a Melbourne-based software development company has announced the launch of a new video platform to share events online, Eventer. Internationally renowned San Francisco MusicTech (SF MusicTech) pioneered the new platform earlier this month and has attracted unprecedented audience numbers for its 2012 event. Eventer enabled the Summit to more than double its audience, with online viewers spending an average time of 40 minutes viewing its presentations on Eventer.
SF MusicTech Cofounder and Executive Producer, Brian Zisk said: "We had a great experience working with Eventer. If your event has both presenters and projection screens, no other solution can capture both streams of action and present them so strongly online in the appropriate context. While we were excited about the ability for our remote audience to watch the sessions, we had no idea how much exposure the posting of these videos on Eventer would garner, both for the Summit, and the presenters."
Eventer simulates a live audience experience for the viewer. An industry first dual-screen player gives the viewer freedom to switch their focus between a presenter and their slides, or a panel discussion and the audience's reaction, or to view both at the same time, just as they would if they had a front row seat. Organisations choose Eventer to help them achieve their communication goals; it helps them inspire, teach and communicate with their target audiences. In addition to its optimum viewer experience, its dual-screen player offers them creative opportunities to communicate and its platform is customisable and secure.
Cogent Cofounder and Director, Marty Andrews said: "We wanted to change what it was like to watch an event online, and Eventer is just like being there in the room for a presentation, whether that's at a corporate event, in a lecture hall or at an internal company meeting. It captures anything from 'classic' style talks with a speaker and slides, to panel discussions with crowd interactions."
Australia's Sustaining Women in Business (SWB) has also chosen to showcase its recent Conference on Eventer, following the event last week. Presentations from the Conference will be made available online to the public over the course of this week, including the must watch keynote address on the 'Success Secrets of the World's Most Powerful Women' by Forbe's Jenna Goudreau. Already available on Eventer are presentations by Dr Adam Fraser on development and sustainability of high performance cultures, Mia Freedman discussing politics, glossy magazines and women in business and Megan Dalla-Camina on a panel discussion on how to do it all.
Speaking about Eventer, SWB Founder, Taren Hocking said: "I believe we must actively participate in the creation of the world we want to live in and this is what I have tried to do with SWB. Now with Eventer more people in more places can be can be inspired, educated and enriched by the content and sharing of ideas of the insightful speakers at SWB. Not only does Eventer help my presenters reach a greater audience and receive more exposure for their brand and ideas, it also helps promote SWB and build more interest for next year's event. It's a win win."
Additional Testimonial:
"SWB tackles topics that are relevant to every woman and aims to enable women to successfully build both a rewarding career, as well as a healthy, balanced and fulfilling life. The experience for the delegates is priceless, and to now have the ability to bring more people into this experience from all around the world, through the industry first technology Eventer is a wonderful thing to be part of. As a new author this is especially rewarding, knowing that the messages from Getting Real About Having It All can reach and help more people." – Megan Dalla-Camina, Presenter at SWB and Author, Getting Real About Having It All

When a guy is hanging out with a girl that's a "sure thing" to have sex with him, he ruins the opportunity by not verbally acknowledging her, not talking, the whole time and by not making a move. In effect making him gay.
I told him that she'd drop dome on him if he made the first move, but he messed it up by pulling a hora and not speaking to her; he ended up dropping dome on topper.
He pulled a Hora on that bitch.

Thanks for the appreciation, usually I try to keep a peaceful attitude but that was way too much for me.
Agreed, Milan is an aseptic and sad city, I live right on its boundaries and I try not to get into traffic or crowd as long as I can avoid it.
As for the aperitivo.. that's a really good idea, and I can tell you I even thought about that before.Usually I reach Liguria at the end of some moto-tours, I'll let you know if I'll be enough daring to use my bik More..

"Murder's a crime. Abortion isn't."
Murder is a crime because it takes the life of an innocent person...Abortion is not a crime because the supreme court ruled that the unborn baby is not a person. Jews were once ruled as non-persons as well...does this make them non-persons?
If you are redefined as a non-person, will you speak up for yourself? Unborn babies cannot speak up for themselves, that is where we come in.
a person is a person no matter how small...Protection for More..

The Scoop On Spring 2004
Page 1 of 2You're already a step ahead of the rest with your new spring jacket, but there's no use stepping out with the coolest outerwear if your clothing doesn't follow suit.
As you may have noticed in stores, spring 2004 is full of birght colors, striped, checkered and even floral patterns, and a lot of athletic-inspired wear. If you're up to the task and want to look your best during these warm spring days, then get a move on because the season's already in high gear.
But don't go anywhere without first checking out some of the items featured in this season's collections...
| Look #1: The striped shirt & black pants
Bold striped shirtYou may already have a striped button-down shirt in your wardrobe, but the idea this time around is the bolder, the better. While my mantra is normally "less is more," more is more in this case, so don't hesitate to wrap an equally bold, striped tie around your collar when you're wearing one of these shirts.
If you like to play it safe when pairing patterns with patterns, then blue is the least risky option, as opposed to the purple, pistachio green, citrus orange, and pink motifs spotted on men's shirts this spring. As long as the shirt and tie feature the same colors, feel free to combine stripes — even if they go in different directions.
Go a step further... You can even wear a solid or striped sweater over your button-down, or wear your shirt and tie with a subtle pinstriped suit (in which case you should opt for a solid tie).
Black pantsSince your black pants are likely worn-out by the time winter draws to a close (not to mention made from a thicker fabric), it's important to keep a good pair accessible for days at the office and nights at the club. These flat-front pants are slightly loose and take a cue from the laid-back styles creeping up in men's departments. Whether you wear them as part of a sophisticated all black ensemble or match them with a cool sweater and retro-looking sneakers, these Martin Margiela black pants will make it clear that you rule the fashion scene.
Go a step further... Wear your black pants with a casual crewneck or T-shirt, a canvas belt, and a stylish pair of old-school sneakers.
| Look #2: The hoodie & light denim
Hooded sweatshirtWith the boom of athletic apparel seeping into men's everyday fashion, sweatshirts and track jackets are hot ticket items. While they can't be worn to the office (unless you work in a creative or casual environment), they can surely be worn on weekends and nights out. Hoodies and zip-up sweatshirts are coolest when they have a retro look, ranging from the logo to the color scheme. Even the details on this Blue Marlin sweatshirt, like the Osaka Athletic Association patch on the arm, and stars and #60 patches in front, give this sweatshirt a nostalgic touch.
Stylish jeansThe most popular trends in the jeans department include a distressed, worn-out texture, linen-looking denim (making jeans look thinner), and a boot cut. Give these blue-gray Diesel jeans a try; they feature a washed-out linen look, and are slightly flared at the bottom so you can wear them with anything from sneakers to sandals.
Go a step further... Wear a beige sports jacket and white T-shirt with your jeans.
From the coolest polos to a hot shirt that only a few men can pull off, get your hands on these items for spring...

Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't avoid One Direction, so it makes a refreshing change to watch our top video this week and hear the boys' voices not quite up to scratch. Dub kings Sam and Rick have taken away the voices of Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan and replaced the vocals of Story of My Life with something quite different.
The 1D boys are used to starring in their own videos, but it will be interesting if, in years to come, they are as scathing about their work as Noel Gallagher. The Oasis star gives a running commentary about the band's UK single music videos – and he is really not impressed.
Meanwhile, we've got a double dose of Arnold Schwarzenegger this week as he makes an appearance playing ping-pong in the ad break for the Super Bowl and dresses up as a gym instructor to surprise some punters as they work out and raise cash for charity.
Fans of Lena Dunham and Girls might want to join Sasheer Zamata's tour – and if Mean Girls is more your thing, we've got a catty version which will make you chuckle. Missing Sherlock? Catch Benedict Cumberbatch – and those legs – accepting his NTA gong in Los Angeles.

ECU football practice report
ECU football practice report
GREENVILLE - East Carolina moved to the next phase of its preseason camp Tuesday morning, turning in a two-and-a-half hour full-pad workout at Hight Field inside the Cliff Moore Practice Complex.
The first full-gear session comes on the eve of the Pirates' first of three scheduled two-a-days over the next two weeks, preceding similar agendas for Monday, Aug. 12 and Thursday, Aug. 15. ECU will begin the morning's full-pad practice at 8:45 before returning in shells at 4:15 p.m.
"Today was another good day for us," head coach Ruffin McNeill said. "We kept emphasizing fundaments and making sure we're on the same page on all three sides of the ball. I thought we came out and attacked our practice plan and got a lot of quality reps in. These guys have been really cooperative and coachable early on and you can see their hunger to get better, and that has produced good team chemistry.
"Now we turn to our focus on getting better during film study, have a couple of walk-throughs then get a good lift in with Coach (Jeff) Connors before looking at more film. During camp the daily process is the same, but we have to make sure we continue to do the right things and get better as a team."
Once again under cooler temperatures that reached into the mid-70's, Tuesday's practice consisted of screen drills, specialized one-on-one matchups, ball security and extended team sessions against scouts followed by daily individual segments. The Pirates also worked on first-and-10 offense and defense, while emphasizing special teams and kickoff return responsibilities.
Camp Notes:
Senior DE Lee Pegues (concussion) was held out of practice … McNeill stated he would be re-evaluated later this week.
Wednesday's Practice Time: 8:45 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.; 4:15 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Season Opener: Aug. 31 vs. Old Dominion in Greenville (7 p.m.)
Positional Snapshots
Today's "Q&A" format will highlight the Pirates' defensive line:
Defensive Line Coach Marc Yellock
Your unit returns two of three starters, including preseason All-Conference USA media picks Lee Pegues (DE) and Terry Williams (NT), and features quality depth in ends Terrell Stanley and Johnathon White. How does that type of experience benefit ECU's 3-4 package and your outlook for 2013? "The benefit is being able to play multiple guys through the course of a game. I don't believe in playing one particular guy for 60-70 snaps in a game, it's just unproductive in my opinion. So having quality depth helps when you have guys that are injured. On the D-Line bodies are twisting and turning everywhere, so being able to rotate new guys in is key. Coach McNeill and Coach Kirkpatrick have done a great job recruiting and bringing in that depth. Our goals are to stop the run and continue to work on our pass rush. The scheme that Coach Smith has brought in is allowing us to get on the edges and up the field more to make plays."
Speaking of the 3-4, coordinator Rick Smith has talked about giving the scheme many more multiple looks this year. Has that changed your approach so far and will it perhaps result in different responsibilities this fall? "The approach hasn't changed for us. We have a veteran group that is going on the third year playing the same system. So we are just fine-tuning different aspects of our game, working on leverage issues and some new installation items."
Many teams run the spread offense these days, so how much has the core philosophy of the defensive line in college football been revised since your playing days at ECU? "It seems that more teams are going no-huddle these days, so the game has gotten faster even since I've played. Defense is still defense. You have to stop the zone read, which is the new wrinkle in today's offense with the quarterback running the ball, as well as try to stop the quick passes. That's where depth comes in and we have built our line around that. When I played, if you were a first-team guy you played somewhere around 50 snaps a game. Today you have to be able to roll three groups out their with the pace of the game. Also, with the spread offense there is a lot of running involved, so having depth plays and fresh bodies is key."
Are ends and tackles interchangeable or do they require a completely different skillset? "I think they are all interchangeable. During my positional drills we teach everyone the same concept so if someone goes down or if someone is tired, we can get the best person on the field at the right position. We saw that last year with Michael Brooks moving from the nose to the end spot. We also moved (Lee) Pegues and (Terrell) Stanley to the nose positions. It just gives us different looks and keeps the best guys on the field."
Who are some younger players that have caught your eye, either in the spring or during the first few days of camp? "Three guys that have really impressed me so far have been Mike Myers, Demetri McGill and Randall Anderson. All three have been working their tails off, learning from the older guys and listening to everything we talk about. Right now they are further along than the freshmen last year at this time. So that's encouraging, but there is still a lot of room for them to improve."
Sophomore Defensive End Terrell Stanley
What are your personal and team goals for the 2013 season? "As a group we want to be the best defense Conference USA, but to do that we have to work on pass rush, run defense and play assignment football. We want to win a conference title and anything short of that is not expectable. We haven't won a bowl game in a while, so that is the second team goal and we want to let everyone in the country know about ECU."
You've played both on the inside and at end - what are some of your favorite things about both positions? "When playing inside its more man vs. man. It's all about power and trying to shed off two blockers at once to get into the backfield. On the outside, it's more about finesse and speed. You're trying beat the tackle on the corner and get to the quarterback. There is a lot more room to work with as an end."
What would you list as your most memorable ECU Pirate moment to date? "Last year beating Houston to become bowl eligible. During my true freshman season we missed out on a bowl, so last year helping the team get back to the post-season was a great feeling."
Name one ECU offensive linemen you wouldn't want to see on another team lined up across from you? Why? "Hands down I think the whole group would say Will Simmons "Pit Bull". He is an aggressive dude that comes at you every play and gives you his best 100 percent of the time on the field."
Sophomore Nose Tackle Terry Williams
What are your personal and team goals for the 2013 season? "Our main goal as a team is win a conference championship. From there we want win a bowl game, which is something we haven't done in a while. Personally I want to continue to get better in every facet of my game and improve on last year. I have been working on my quickness and pass rushing techniques this preseason."
What part about playing nose tackle do you enjoy the most? "Just being in the middle of the defense and having an impact on every play. I feel like I have a 50/50 chance of making every play as an interior lineman as long as I get off the ball and trust what I am doing and my teammates."
What would you list as your most memorable ECU Pirate moment to date? "Last year against Marshall. We fought hard up front for the entire 60 minutes and then went into two overtime periods. When you play a game like that you are so pumped up that fatigue never enters your mind. You just do the job at hand and I think as a group the D-Line did a great job. Personally, that was a great game for me as well. I caused the fumble in the second overtime and gave our team a chance to win, which we did when Shane (Carden) scored from one yard out."
Name one ECU offensive linemen you wouldn't want to see on another team lined up across from you? Why? "It's got to be Will Simmons. He is a great guy, but when he gets on the field he is aggressive and intense. We call him 'Pit Bull', which explains everything you need to know about him."

Chateau Leoville Poyferre (Futures Pre-Sale) 2009
Bordeaux Red Blends from St. Julien, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
Blend: 62.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Cabernet Franc
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "One of the more flamboyant and sumptuous wines of the vintage, this inky/purple-colored St.-Julien reveals thrilling levels of opulence, richness and aromatic pleasures. A soaring bouquet of creme de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spring flowers is followed by a super-concentrated wine with silky tannins, stunning amounts of glycerin, a voluptuous, multilayered mouthfeel and nearly 14% natural alcohol. Displaying fabulous definition for such a big, plump, massive, concentrated effort, I suspect the tannin levels are high even though they are largely concealed by lavish amounts of fruit, glycerin and extract. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040."
Wine Enthusiast - "An immensely tructured wine, packed with dark tannins promising aging potential. It is complex, powerful, layered with new wood and concentration, finishing with dark plum fruits and acidity."
James Suckling - "Gorgeous aromas of blueberries and blackberries, with flowers and minerals. Full body, with silky tannins and a bright acidity on the finish. Tangy and chewy. Muscular. Try in 2018. "
International Wine Cellar - "(a blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 29% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 5% cabernet franc; 13.95% alcohol; pH 3.76; 88 IPT) Inky purple. Brooding, masculine nose offers black plum, chocolate liqueur, orange peel and espresso. Soft and supple on entry, then a bit youthfully aggressive in the middle, but with a distinctly chewy texture supporting the ultraripe black plum and chocolate flavors. Finishes with building, slightly dry tannins and hints of Oriental plum liqueur and peppery soy sauce. Always a sexy wine, this Leoville Poyferre has excellent balance and is more discreet than some other vintages of the last 20 years. It may still be a little short on finesse, but it's hard to argue with its almost decadent, voluptuous appeal. Very well done, and likely to be one of the ch a teau's most successful wines ever.
Barrel Sample: 92-95 Points "
Wine Spectator - "Solid notes of steeped black currant, ganache-coated fig and plum eau de vie pump along in this very dark red, but with well-integrated structure. Long and winey through the finish, with the grip extending everything. Best from 2016 through 2026."

Chateau Leoville Poyferre Winery
Due to a division of the large Léoville estate, Château Léoville Poyferré was created in 1840 and included as a Second Growth in the famous 1855 Classification. In 1920, the Cuvelier family purchased the estate and Didier Cuvelier has been in charge since 1979.
Major investments were made to bring out the best in the vineyards, and the cellars were also renovated. In 1994, noted consulting oenologist Michel Rolland began to offer his precious winemaking advice. The final blend is made after many careful tastings. Château Léoville Poyferré is aged in oak barrels, 75% of which are new every year. It is an extremely well-balanced wine with a great deal of finesse and excellent aging potential.

About St-JulienView a map of St-Julien wineries (saint juhl-e-EHN)
Cozy Commune
The smallest of the top four Haut-Médoc communes, St-Julien is directly south of Pauillac. With no first growths to its name, the commune often goes overlooked. But it has 11 excellent second, third and fourth growths, and the highest proportion of classified growths of the top four. It doesn't have the concentration and powerful punch of a Pauillac or the soft elegance of a Margaux, but the wine of St-Julien combines the best of its northern & southern neighbors.
Notable FactsA good descriptor of St-Julien wines is balance. Cabernet Sauvignon-based like all left bankers, St-Julien also adds a bit of Merlot for softness. The best known chateaux are the Léovilles – Léoville-Barton, Léoville-Las Cases, Léoville Poyferre - although Barton and Las Cases are more common and more recognizable to consumers. All three are second growths and top notch for their class. The other well known chateaux are Chateau Gruaud-Larosse & Lagrange, a second growth and fourth growth, known for reliable quality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Shareholder class action suit filed against Vitamin Shoppe
* A complaint alleges executives profited from false statements about the company.
Executives at North Bergen-based retailer Vitamin Shoppe Inc. have been accused in a class-action lawsuit of issuing false statements regarding the company's operations, and of profiting by selling their stock at inflated prices.
The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Newark by law firms in Saddle Brook and Melville, N.Y., was triggered by a drop in Vitamin Shoppe's stock price that began on Feb. 25, the day the company reported fourth-quarter and full-year financial results for 2012 that were below analysts' estimates.
Within two days of the earnings release, some 5 million shares of the company's stock had been traded and the stock price had fallen from $64.85 to $51.44, a decline of about 20 percent. The company's stock closed at $45.94 on Monday in New York Stock Exchange trading, down close to 30 percent since Feb. 25.
The law firms Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann & Knopf LLP of Saddle Brook and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP of Melville, and more than half a dozen other firms, are seeking plaintiffs who bought Vitamin Shoppe stock between May 8, 2012, and Feb. 25 of this year to join the class action.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of a Michigan man, alleges that company executives "issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the company's operations, business trends and same-store sales trends."
The complaint alleges that Vitamin Shoppe executives failed to disclose that sales were being hurt by competition from online retailers and by discounting at competitor GNC and that sales at stores open at least a year (same-store sales) were trending down. The suit also alleges that three of the company's top executives – Chief Executive Officer Anthony Truesdale, Executive Chairman of the Board Richard Markee and President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Archbold — benefited from those misleading statements by being able to sell $30.8 million of Vitamin Shoppe stock at inflated prices.
Vitamin Shoppe has until May 29 to reply to the complaint, according to a summons issued last week. A spokeswoman for the company declined to comment on the suit, saying the Vitamin Shoppe does not comment on pending litigation.

Quotes of the day

Six New Jersey residents have filed a federal lawsuit against Gov. Chris Christie, the state of New Jersey, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and others over traffic jams in September…
The plaintiffs want it certified as a class action.
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said there was a lot still to unravel regarding communications between the parties and how the decision to disrupt traffic was made.
"That question will be very important for Paul Fishman," Toobin said of the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey…
Fishman's office is working with the FBI's public corruption unit to see if any federal laws were broken, a law enforcement source told CNN.
Chris Christie is a favorite among deep-pocketed Wall Street donors for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. But the New Jersey governor's involvement in a major scandal over lane closures on the world's busiest bridge could threaten to cool some of that support…
The concern, as one donor who's supported Christie put it, is that the actions by the Christie aides "is environmental. He created an environment where that could happen."…
One senior financial services industry executive said support is not yet wavering for Christie but could if the scandal is not cleaned up fast.
"Everyone is looking at how he handles it," said this person, who declined to be identified by name in order to speak candidly about Christie. "They are not as concerned about the scandal itself, assuming he didn't actually know anything about it, but about the management of it. Can he tidy it up neatly and decisively. If he can, great. If not you will see people waver."
Here's the problem with that tack (with the acknowledgment that given Christie's ambition, it's the only approach he could possibly take): If ANYTHING comes out that suggests that he had any sort of involvement in ANY way with the closures of the lanes, he is done for. He left no wiggle room for himself. None. He also insisted that this episode was anomalous in his administration — repeatedly rejecting the idea that he was a bully or fostered a bullying atmosphere within his senior staff…
This is in the early stages, not the late ones, and Christie's strong denials on Fort Lee and broader dismissal of the idea of a bullying culture mean that if incidents come to light that contradict those denials, they are even more problematic to Christie and his future than they would have been a week ago.
By admitting that he didn't know anything about it, the governor admits to allowing a rogue political operation to operate underneath him. Given how cavalier these aides were about this infraction and how small the political stakes, it's hard to imagine that in bigger instances at least some other gambits weren't tried. If you are caught firing your six-shooter willy-nilly around the house at fruit flies, there's a pretty good chance you're behaving recklessly because you've become habituated to the recklessness and it isn't your first time. This offered another moment in which Christie's story seemed ripe for puncturing. He seemed confused at how on earth anything like this could be possible. That would be a hard posture for any politician to maintain, especially one with Christie's reputation for political fortitude.
As this story unfolds, we'll see if this was an isolated incident that grew in a culture that was otherwise hostile to such low behavior or whether this was a part of a broader pattern. At the very least, this will complicate Christie's efforts to sell himself in the future as a hands-on manager.
Democrats predictably condemned the New Jersey governor after a bombshell report Wednesday tied one of his top staffers to a burgeoning scandal that's already been dubbed "Bridge-gate." More notable was the dearth of Republicans who rose to Christie's defense — and, privately, the schadenfreude expressed by some of them that a man who's never been shy about taking shots at others was suddenly on the receiving end…
"All these people who feel like he's bullied and he's put them in a horse-collar hold … will feel free to say, 'See, I told you so,'" said one Republican who has worked with Christie.
That sense of glee from detractors "is going to be worse than they anticipate," said the Republican, adding that local critics but also detractors in some of the early presidential states might now feel emboldened to take shots at a man who 24 hours ago was seen by many as the most likely GOP standard-bearer in 2016.
Republican media strategist Rick Wilson, who worked on Rudy Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign, argued that Christie "goes out of his way to be a dick to other Republicans" — and will reap the payback if his fortunes start to head south.
"You're going to see conservatives returning the favor he gave them over the last year. There's no love lost between Chris Christie and conservatives. I don't expect them to be in love with him, and he doesn't want their love," said Wilson. "But if you want to win a GOP primary, you better find a way to get there."…
Added one GOP strategist: "He has gotten way, way ahead of his supply lines in terms of national exposure. His straight talk reputation now runs the risk of slipping into a bad place where voters grow tired of his style and this kind of drama."
I'm ambivalent on his run for the Presidency. But I don't see him getting that far for the very reasons underlying this issue — he and his staff operate as divas.
I have had Congressmen, Governors, and the staffers of Congressmen and Governors tell me horror stories about dealing with Christie's people. All of them seem to dread it…
This was always going to be Christie's problem. People want a winner. And they want an a**hole. But they want the person to be their a**hole, not an a**hole who tries to make everyone else his whipping boy.
It's a grotesque Jersey version of the ugly truth that underlies all electoral politics: The primary goal is to win re-election. There's a reason that the same people who work on political campaigns then work for important jobs in government—it's largely the same job, with the same boss, and the same goal…
Think of these kinds of careers, and of the callous disregard these people can have for voters and insufficiently loyal politicians (Stepien's reaction to Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich's public complaints about the traffic jam was "The mayor is an idiot"), the next time you hear someone describe politics as public service. When you give politicians power—such as the authority to appoint leaders to bi-state public bodies that control basically all the infrastructure in and around New York City and New Jersey—you are handing over tools that they and the many plausible deniers that work for them can and will use to get the boss man re-elected. It is disgusting, and it is predictable. If you want less corruption, give politicians less power.
Speaker of the House John Boehner said he believes New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is still a serious contender for 2016 in spite of the scandal surrounding the closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge last year…
Asked if Christie could still be a top contender if he were to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Boehner said he believes Christie could.
"I think so," he said. "I think so."

Cheesecake Rice Pudding {Plus a Chocolate Version!}
I used to be a rice pudding hater. Until this recipe came into my life (be prepared, it's one of the oldest on my site and the pictures are, well, unique). I thought it was the only rice pudding I would ever need. Until my friend Ashli (hey, Ashli!) brought over this cheesecake and chocolate version before we moved from Wisconsin and I nearly died a rice pudding loving death.
Cheesecake rice pudding is the only.way.to.go. Wait! I take that back! Unless you want chocolate rice pudding. And then I change my stance and chocolate is the only.way.to.go. Seriously, these two versions are the tastiest rice puddings I've ever devoured. Inspired by a restaurant called Pudding on the Rice, Ashli tailored these recipes to her way of liking (cheesecake and chocolate, baby!) and they are fantastic and so delicious and unique, I think everyone needs a little rice pudding in their lives. (And who would have thought there could be a restaurant dedicated just to rice pudding – pretty darn brilliant!).
If you are like me, the ultimate rice pudding nirvana is cheesecake rice pudding scooped into a bowl and dolloped with a spoonful of the decadent chocolate rice pudding. I'm so in love with this stuff. Thanks, Ashli, you've changed my life forever!
One Year Ago: Walnut Chocolate Chip Blondies {Applebee's Knock-off Recipe}
Two Years Ago: Roasted Garlic and Cauliflower Pasta
Three Years Ago: Kalua Pork
Note: The recipe is written to make either a full batch of cheesecake or a full batch of chocolate rice pudding. Alternately, you can make the full batch of pudding, split the hot, cooked pudding in half and add halved amounts of the cheesecake and chocolate variations to each half to make some of both without doubling the entire pudding recipe. Medium grain rice is important for this recipe. It can be found by the other varieties of rice. I haven't tried this recipe with long grain, brown rice, short grain or arborio so I can't weigh in on how those would fare as a substitution.
- 4 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups cooked medium grain rice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten and brought to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes and softened to room temperature
- 2 tablesoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (regular or Dutch-process)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Pour 3 1/2 cups of the half-and-half, cooked rice, sugar, and salt into a large 3 to 4 quart pot. Stir constantly over medium heat with a wooden spoon or flat silicone spatula until the mixture thickens, 25-35 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the beaten egg in a medium bowl. Slowly add a spoonful of the hot pudding to the egg, whisking vigorously and constantly. Continue to temper the egg with 3-4 more spoonfuls of the hot pudding, whisking constantly. Add the tempered pudding and egg mixture into the pot of hot rice pudding, stirring quickly to incorporate. Return the pot to medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture boils.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the last 1/2 cup of half-and-half and the vanilla extract.
For the cheesecake version, stir the softened cubes of cream cheese into the hot pudding. Add the powdered sugar and stir well until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Transfer the pudding to a large bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to avoid a skin forming and refrigerate until ready to serve. The pudding can be served warm, room temperature or cold and will keep well covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
For the chocolate version, add the cocoa, powdered sugar and 1/3 to 1/2 of the chocolate chips to the hot pudding. Stir until melted and smooth. Transfer the pudding to a large bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to avoid a skin forming. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Once chilled, stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. It will keep well covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Brian Novoa
Bryan Novoa enters his first year as head coach Stacey Totman's assistant. He is no stranger to the Red Raider family as he played three years of collegiate golf for Tech from 1993-96.
As an assistant coach, Novoa brings an expertise in teaching, playing and mental perspective. With this combination, Novoa hopes to assist in improving the student-athletes' play on the course.
Upon his hiring, Totman expressed her excitement about bringing Novoa aboard as an assistant.
"I am really excited about Bryan joining the Texas Tech program," Totman said. "I believe the girls are going to benefit a lot from him. He is a phenomenal player that knows how to win and will teach that to the players. It is great to have an alumnus who is familiar with Texas Tech join the program, and he is going to help continue to move the program forward."
While a student-athlete at Texas Tech, Novoa led the Red Raiders in scoring his final two seasons. He won a total of four tournaments, including the final Southwest Conference Championship's individual title. After winning three of his events in his senior year, Novoa was honored by the Golf Coaches Association of America by being named to the PING All-America third team. The status made Novoa the first Red Raider in history to be named to the prestigious list.
Novoa considers his greatest accomplishment to have come at the U.S. Amateur in 1996. Then he shot his way to becoming a quarterfinalist at Pumpkin Ridge in Portland, Ore.
Following his Texas Tech career, Novoa traveled on the professional circuit. He played in tournaments throughout North America and ended his career on the Canadian PGA Tour. Novoa titled three events as a professional with his biggest victory coming in 2003 at the Southwest Kansas Open.
Novoa was born to Cordelia Irma Novoa on Sept. 6, 1974, and was raised by his grandparents.

Submitted to: Mycological Symposium Asian Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/5/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The fungi that colonize corn ears and may contaminate the grain with mycotoxins include pathogens, endophytes and opportunists that belong to ecologically specialized groups. These include seed replacement diseases, mildly parasitic colonists of the phylloplane, stem-rot and ear-rot pathogen complex, 'protective' endophyte mutualists, saprotrophs and yeasts in ears damaged by corn insects or birds. Aspergillus flavus, which is also pathogenic to insects, is included in this latter group. Sap beetles (Nitidulidae) are common vectors of toxigenic fungi, moving from crop residues or nearby natural habitats, to ripening corn ears. The fungi initially become established in grains damaged by corn insects then spread to infect the undamaged grains. Ecological studies of the chemistry of sap beetle interactions with fungi are helping to explain the attractiveness of selected fungi to sap beetles while also guiding the discovery of novel fungal metabolites with potent antiinsectan activity. Competitive interactions and mycoparasitism can impact the pathogenicity and survival of toxigenic fungi. Fusarium moniliforme limits the spread of A. flavus from sites of wound-inoculation. Paecilomyces lilacinus and other mycoparasites colonize and kill A. flavus sclerotia buried in corn field soil. Intraspecific competition among naturally occurring aflatoxin-producing and non-aflatoxin producing A. flavus strains (@ 50%) may serve to 'dampen' aflatoxin outbreaks in the midwest Corn Belt.

The Lucky One Parent Review
While the Louisiana landscape is lovely, some steamy moments of intimacy that lack chemistry, an excessively contrived ending and underwhelming performances all make this an unlucky choice.
Movie Review
I'm often critical of the male fantasy movie—the one where the nerdy guy has a bevy of beautiful women begging for his attention and affection. But women have their fantasies too—like a man who mysteriously shows up and fixes everything, from the gutters to a broken heart. The Lucky One is definitely the latter.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
While on tour in Iraq, Sergeant Logan Thibault (Zac Efron) escapes not one but several life threatening attacks that take the lives of his fellow soldiers. After one blitz, he finds a dust-covered picture of a beautiful blonde lying in the rubble. The only words inscribed on the back are "keep safe". Through the rest of that tour and the next one that is exactly what the angelic figure seems to do for Logan. And he promises himself he'll find her and thank her if he ever gets home.
Retuning from a combat zone is harder than any of us who haven't done it can imagine. But Logan decides to deal with his demons by walking from Colorado to Louisiana where he hopes to find his protector. He discovers her working in a family-run kennel outside of a small town. But he can't come up with the words to thank Beth (Taylor Schilling) or even explain who he is. She mistakenly thinks he is there to apply for a job and before he knows it, Logan is walking dogs and cleaning kennels thanks to Beth's grandma Ellie who offers him work.
Beth hesitantly begins to accept his presence around the place although she remains cautious of his attempts at friendship. Orphaned as a young child and facing a new tragedy makes her keep to herself. But her former husband Keith (Jay R. Ferguson) has no qualms about expressing his dislike for the new hired help. Keith is the sheriff in a town where the law takes a backseat to personal interests and powerful politicians and the last thing he wants is someone building a relationship with his ex-wife or his son Ben (Riley Thomas Stewart).
Meanwhile Logan quietly goes about repairing things around the place without nary a nag or even suggestion. It endears him to the single women living in the house and likely most of the females in the audience. (Truly this is love!)
However, once the characters are cast and the situation is established, the rest of the story is painfully predictable. As sure as Logan can overhaul a tractor, he'll try to patch up Beth's damaged heart. But that won't happen without some nasty threats from the abusive Keith and the strained moment of truth when she discovers who Logan really is.
While the Louisiana landscape offers a lovely backdrop for this romantic romp, some steamy moments of intimacy that lack chemistry, an excessively contrived ending and underwhelming performances all make this an unlucky choice for family viewing.Directed by Scott Hicks. Starring Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling, Blythe Danner, Jay R. Ferguson. Running time: 101 minutes. Theatrical release April 20, 2012. Updated July 8, 2016

This movie is based on The Lucky One, a book by Nicholas Sparks.
What challenges face vets who return from combat? What resources are available to them? How can family and friends help with the transition back to civilian life? What long-term difficulties may they face? Why does Logan react so violently to the video game and innocent ambush?
How can animals, especially dogs, help veterans? America's Vet Dogs is one program that pairs dogs and returning soldiers.
Why is Keith often so harsh with Ben? Why is it difficult for Ben to live up to his father's expectations? Who does Keith learn his parenting skills from? Is it surprising that Keith struggles to be a positive person in his son's life?

Okay well first of all the red zone is at 8000 to let you know if you were wondering.* I also don't think it was my clutch because sometimes when i just driving normally it would start to smell when i'm on a busy street when i'm stopping and going a lot.* I wasn't for sure where the RPM was i was assuming maybe it was at 4 or 5 i just guessed.* When i'm going to down a highway it will do that also so i was just guessing.
