Items of Interest:
Programs of Excellence Report: Academic Affairs Committee
The University of Nebraska has, for the past three years, set funds aside to support programs identified on the four university campuses as being of high priority. These programs have been identified as "programs of excellence." In this report, the programs that have received supplemental funding will be reviewed and several specific programs will be discussed in detail.
LR 174 Report to the Board of Regents: Planning Committee
Legislative Resolution 174, approved by the Nebraska Legislature in 2003, created a Higher Education Task Force to examine the state's system of postsecondary education and to make recommendations for changes. Senator Don Pederson of North Platte chaired the committee. The committee developed three recommendations:
• Increase the number of students who enter postsecondary education in Nebraska
• Increase the percentage of student who enroll and successfully persist through degree completion
• Reduce, eliminate, and then reverse the net out migration of Nebraskans with high levels of educational attainment
At this meeting Sen. Pederson will review the committee's recommendations and the rationale for each, and engage in a discussion on this issue with the regents.
Institutional and Student Portfolios: Strategic Issue Discussion
The University of Nebraska at Omaha has developed a system of portfolios to demonstrate progress toward its goals. The portfolios present evidence of work accomplished to achieve each goal. At the same time, UNO has adopted the concept of online student portfolios for teacher candidates. The portfolios allow each student to create and archive documents they develop during work in each course. The student can use their portfolios to demonstrate that they are doing more than simply completing of a series of courses, but are making progress toward becoming professional educators.
Approval of the program statement and budget for a "Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)" facility at UNMC
The University of Nebraska Medical Center and its partner, the Nebraska Medical Center have a long history of developing treatments for cancer and other diseases based on transplantation of cellular and tissue-based products, including bone marrow and blood cells, as well as solid organs. Revised Federal Drug Administration rules, scheduled for implementation later this year require facilities preparing cellular and tissue based products to comply with cGMP practices. At this meeting the Board will be asked to approve development of a compliant facility.

This past weekend I spent it doing something I truly enjoy, catching up on my favorite TV show's DVD, Family Guy – Volume Nine. With the holidays right around the corner, Family Guy – Volume Nine makes the perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season.
What makes this DVD worth the buy?!
The 3 disc DVD set with 14 uncensored hysterical episodes, from the eighth and ninth season, that will have you laughing in tears.
Other reasons why this DVD is worth the purchase include:
– The deleted scenes
– The special featurettes, including the creators of Family Guy at ComicCon 2010, where Seth MacFarlane surprises us with one of his many character impressions.
Some episodes from the Family Guy Volume Nine DVD that made my day and will probably make yours (depending on your Family Guy taste), include:
- Dial Meg for Murder
- Extra Large Medium
- Quagmire's Dad
- The Splendid Source
- And Then There Were Fewer (Extended Episode)
There were some episodes from the Family Guy Volume Nine DVD that made me a bit uncomfortable, either because the topic went too far, hit too close to home or just a bit graphic/disturbing:
- Brian and Stewie – 150th Episode!
- Brian Griffin's House of Payne
Everyone's Family Guy's taste is different, I can't say I don't enjoy watching a good rerun of Family Guy and still laugh as hard as I did the first time. Family Guy Volume Nine DVD will do just that, keep you laughing. If you ask for anything this holiday season make sure to put this DVD in your wishlist.
Family Guy Volume Nine is available on Amazon (click here to purchase)
Please note: A complimentary copy of Family Guy Volume Nine DVD was provided by Fox Home Entertainment for review.

It was a rollercoaster ride of racing for the first World cup sprint Eliminator of 2012. I had my share of good luck and bad, but the chain of events were under my control and at specific moments I was my own worst enemy…
Nerves were at an all time high coming into the event and without Internet at our accommodation (Belgium is a little behind the times with WiFi and is in full 'Ghost Protocol' black out) my ability to find time consuming distractions was limited. The pressure of being a so-called 'Sprint specialist' was getting to me. Not to mention that the course was unlike any sprint course I had ever seen, with brutal steep climbing and single-track sketchy down hills. Very little overtaking meant that overtaking would be a challenge.
When we got to the event village we walked a lap of the track and this only increased my nerves and fears that I wouldn't even qualify for the top 32 and make it into the knock out rounds. There were over 100 people in the time trials and with only a 15sec gap between each, I was also worried about getting caught.
In the warm up on the course getting around seemed to be a challenge in itself and I was getting more nervous (if that was possible at that point)…
After a good warm up on the rollers I was getting in the zone with some amped beats on the ipod to get my head in the game. Before I knew it I was in a line getting shuffled into position for the Time Trial. 5 seconds… beep…beep.beep… I hit the first climb at full speed and didn't slow down and to my surprise I was strong on the steep sections, before I knew it I was on the downhill and into the final few corners, this is where I washed out the front wheel and found myself rolling around in the dirt! I turned and picked up my bike and completed the final corner to cross the line with severe doubt that I had made the finals and the top 32 riders. What an amateur mistake by me, but other riders were also going down including Manual Fumic (3rd at world cup XCO 1).
I went back to the tent and did what I thought was a cool down and the end of the night. I got my minor scrapes cleaned up and thought to myself 'Oh well at least I didn't pop my shoulder out again'. After about half an hour Robert came over and said that all three of the team riders made it into the finals! I was stoked and ready to get my revenge on the course…
I had qualified in the last of the knock out round positions (32nd) and this meant that I would get final lane choice for each round. I was also in the 1st heat with the fastest qualifying rider, and 4 x world champion Brian Lopes. I was on the outside lane, on the whistle all 4 riders launched down the ramp and into the course. I went wide to gain position and slot into 2nd behind Lopes who was super fast off the gun (Something he has been famous for throughout his whole career). I held my line and rolled in 2nd, but still advancing into the next round.
In the ¼ finals I was again with Lopes and again he schooled me on the start and so did a Swiss rider. On this course passing was restricted to only one or two places (not idea for sprint races), I tried to get around on the second steep climb, but was forced off the track. In fear of losing 3rd I went back to the race line, as we crested the climb I hit the gas and rode a tight inside line which enabled an overtake. I was in 2nd and I wasn't going to let it go. I was through to the semi finals after some nervous moment. At the end of the heat Geri said that it was the first overtake mid lap he had seen all night. I was lucky and happy to be advancing onto the next round.
Into the semi final and I was again on the outside lane, but eager to stomp it and get into the top 2 positions. I kicked off as hard as possible, trying to gain position as I was in a heat with the 1st (Lopes) and 4th fastest Qualifiers (Kenta Gallagher). It was tight but I managed to get into the number 2 spot by the first tight corner. It was there that an inexplicable turn of events unfolded… I wish I could explain what happened and I have been trying to figure it out myself ever since. On the uphill I flipped over the handlebars and hit the dirt! It happened so fast that I don't know what I did, it may have been a gear crunch or it could have been a wheel spin on the loose surface that kicked my weight forward and over the bars. Regardless of how, I had fallen across the track and then attempted to get up, but as I was scrambling to find my feet, Kenta's front wheel got tangled in my bike saddle! I couldn't believe that I not only did an uphill flip (Called the 'Monster Flip' by Uwe @ Felt), but I managed to get my seat totally tangled in the bike of a fellow opponent. I apologized for the craziness to Kenta, as I was the fool who took away his chances for the finals, he seemed OK about it, but there was nothing that either of us could do to change it now.
In Europe there are 5 positions for the podium and I knew that to save the night I needed to win the small final and take the final step on the stage. It was hard to put behind the madness of the semi final, but I was ready and angry to show I'm not a complete 'handbag' (Someone that is useless, oversized and helpless).
So the Small final was my chance to prove myself. I didn't have Brian Lopes to destroy me in the start this time. The gun went, Kenta and Kaufmann were very fast, but luckily I was faster! For the first time I was leading the heat and I wasn't going to let anyone past. I hit the steep climb and dropped the watts and opened the gap. I rode smart on the downhill and flowed down to the finish line crossing 1st. I was happy to have clawed my way onto the final step of the podium…recovering from what was looking to be a disaster start to the world cup sprint season.
So World Cup sprint Eliminator 1 is over for 2012 and on a very tight, steep and technical track I surprised myself about what I'm capable of. If I can keep it rubber side down and my body off the ground I will potentially have a chance of moving up the podium.
Today is the 2nd XC world cup and it is going to be a smash fest with super steep climbing that only Houffalize can supply I'm hoping I surprise myself again and ride smooth and consistently fast on the physically demanding course.
Thanks to the Felt-Oetztal-X-Bionic team and all of there associate sponsors. Thanks to Geri for always having my bike ready to race, Andy for tuning up my legs with quality sports massage and Robbie for keeping his ear to the ground and supplying us with all of the latest from the UCI.
Cheers Guys.

The Lakes
About the Lakes
Tickets for the lakes are priced £7 per day. Evening tickets are priced £5 after 4pm.
The three lakes total over 6 acres of water with plenty of well spaced pegs. All are well stocked with mainly carp and bream, although there are also plenty of tench, perch, roach and rudd.
Pole fishing and feeder fishing are very popular approaches on Tile and Brick Lakes.
Waggler fishing shallow also works well in the warmer months.
Pole fishing is the best way to attack Canal Lake, although any float fishing style should catch well.
Pellets and paste work well in the summer, swapping to corn and maggots when it is colder.
There are regular matches held on each of the lakes, often booked by visiting clubs. We also run an over 50s match every Monday, and a Christmas Open on Brick and Tile lakes. Wherever possible, we leave at least one lake open for pleasure anglers and holidaymakers.
Take a look at our dedicated Match News page for details of forthcoming fixtures and results from recent events.
Now, for more inspiration, take a look through our photos opposite...
The Rules
We try to not have loads of complicated rules, and any that we do enforce are strictly with the safety of our fish in mind. Like most of our visitors, we are sure you will appreciate this and help to keep our fish stocks and fishery surrounds in the best possible condition.

The Tampa Bay Rays aren't looking behind them despite their lead shrinking in the AL East.
"When we start worrying about what's going on with the Boston Red Sox, or where we are in the standings and trying to protect the record and trying to protect the lead, we're getting our minds off what we should be focusing on, which is playing our game," Carlos Pena said.
Tampa Bay lost to the New York Yankees 8-4 on Wednesday night and had its lead over Boston cut to three games, after the Red Sox rallied to beat Baltimore 5-4.
The Rays have now lost the first two games of the series to New York, which trails Boston by seven games for the wild card.
"I don't look at it as anything. That's a good team. It's not like we're going out there, playing poor," said Tampa Bay pitcher Troy Percival. "We've proven what we are, so for me to sit here and say this is a speed bump? No way. I saw us lose seven in a row and come back after the break and just tear it up."
Percival served up a two-run homer to Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning that became the first play to be reviewed. A-Rod's long home run down the left field line was upheld and moved him past Mike Schmidt into 12th place on the all-time homer list.
"We all believed it was a home run, but since the technology is in place we made the decision to use the technology and go look at the replays," umpire crew chief Charlie Reliford told a pool reporter, adding that the umpires watched the video several times.
In other AL games, it was Boston 5, Baltimore 4; the Chicago White Sox 4, Cleveland 2; Toronto 5, Minnesota 4 in 11 innings; Detroit 9, the Los Angeles Angels 6; Texas 1, Seattle 0.
The game between Oakland and Kansas City was rained out and will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday.
Dustin Pedroia homered in the seventh inning to begin Boston's comeback from a four-run deficit, and the Red Sox won when pitcher Jim Miller threw away a bunt for a game-ending error.
Pedroia went 3-for-4 and raised his AL-leading average to .333. He is 21-for-34 (.618) in his last eight games.
Baltimore, which has lost six straight and 11 of 12, took a 4-0 lead in the fourth against Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Alex Cora singled off Miller (0-1) opening the ninth, and took second on Coco Crisp's bunt single. Jacoby Ellsbury, attempting to sacrifice, bunted the ball toward Miller, who threw it past third baseman Aubrey Huff and down the left-field line.
Justin Masterson (5-4) pitched two scoreless innings.
White Sox 4, Indians 2
At Cleveland, Nick Swisher and Alexi Ramirez homered to help Chicago avoid a sweep.
Javier Vazquez (11-12) allowed two runs in six innings and Bobby Jenks recorded the final five outs for his 28th save. The White Sox, who had lost five of six, moved one game in front of Minnesota for first place in the AL Central.
Vazquez (11-12) held the Indians scoreless until the fifth.
After managing one hit in the first four innings, the White Sox scored four runs on five hits in the next two innings before Jeremy Sowers (2-8) was pulled with one out in the fifth.
Swisher led off the fifth with a homer and Ramirez's two-run shot in the sixth made it 4-0.
Blue Jays 5, Twins 4, 11 innings
At Toronto, John McDonald singled home the go-ahead run in the 11th inning and Toronto beat Minnesota for the eighth straight time.
Minnesota lost for the eighth time in 11 games and dropped to 5-8 with one game remaining on its season-long, 14-game road trip.
Jesse Carlson (6-1) worked one perfect inning to win for the second time in as many days.
Scott Rolen doubled off Eddie Guardado (3-4) to begin the 11th and went to third when Travis Snider singled. Boof Bonser came on to face McDonald, who lofted a single to center over the drawn-in outfield.
Minnesota took a 4-3 lead with a two-out rally in the ninth against Toronto closer B.J. Ryan. Facing Twins closer Joe Nathan, the Blue Jays tied it in the bottom half.
Tigers 9, Angels 6
At Detroit, Placido Polanco had three hits and drove in three runs, and Mike Hessman homered for Detroit, which won for the third time in 10 games.
Mark Teixeira hit a home run for Los Angeles. Its magic number to clinch the AL West remained at eight.
With the Tigers down 6-5 in the seventh, Brandon Inge led off with a single off reliever Jose Arredondo (7-2). Curtis Granderson tripled to tie the game and Polanco followed with a single to put Detroit on top.
Hessman hit his first homer, a two-run shot, in the eighth.
Kyle Farnsworth (2-2) allowed three hits and struck out two in 1 2-3 innings for the win. Fernando Rodney got out of a bases loaded jam in the ninth for his eighth save.
Rangers 1, Mariners 0
At Arlington, Texas, fill-in starter Dustin Nippert allowed seven hits in seven innings, and Milton Bradley hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning for the game's only run.
Making his third start in place of injured Vicente Padilla, Nippert (2-4) struck out four and walked none. Frank Francisco pitched the ninth for his fourth consecutive save since taking over as closer last week.
Felix Hernandez (9-9) gave up seven hits in 7 1-3 innings.
It was the third 1-0 victory for Texas in 15 seasons at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The Rangers have seven shutouts this season.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Get the Peking duck. It takes two hours' advance notice and a $30 investment, but in those two hours, an ordinary water fowl is transformed into candy. Roasted to a gleaming mahogany finish, the lacquered bird is presented for inspection table-side before it is carved by servers more attentive than any you'd meet in the San Gabriel Valley. Watch and drool as the brittle, spun-sugar shards of skin are carefully removed, each precious crisped strip portioned onto round after round of pliant, crepe-like tortillas, then wrapped with swipes of sauce, meat and curls of shaved scallion to make duck tacos as slender as cigars. What remains of the bony carcass is whisked to the kitchen and simmered to create a murky, soul-feeding soup with clear noodles. $$
If your own-of-town guests are keen on experiencing quintessential Orange County, take them to the Beachcomber. Here, they'll marvel at a prototypical OC scene: brunching trophy wives toasting one another on snatching deep-pocketed sugar daddies. Oh, the view of the beach is nice, too; reservations for the summer season are booked fast. What surrounds the beachside shack eatery is a post card come to life. The food is hardly the point. But if it is true that a hot dog eaten at the Grand Canyon tastes as good as a steak, the same concept applies here. The sunsets, the idyllic beach huts and the crashing surf cresting on sand just steps from the entrance are seasonings more essential than salt. $$
Dropped daintily on Pacific Coast Highway above Newport Bay is SOL Cocina, an elegant establishment dedicated to bringing the flavors of Baja to Orange County. But this is cuisine with a conscience. The environmentally friendly menu boasts low-fat, healthy items, and almost everything is gluten-free. The chefs use only sustainable fish and humanely raised beef and pork—and many dishes can be made vegetarian or even vegan. Try one of their exquisitely crafted margaritas (we love the cucumber jalapeño), any of about a dozen different salsas and definitely the taco vampiro. Snag a seat at one of the copper tables on the patio for a luxurious view of the boats, docks and houses you'll never afford. We recommend going at sunset, when the water turns as gold as the tequila in your glass. $$$
What haven't we said about Dave Emery that hasn't already been said? The man is an all-around crazy person—and we mean that with the utmost respect. He insists on making everything he serves at Sol Del Sur Bistro from scratch and doing it all himself, with no assistance from a sous chef or even a dishwasher. All evidence suggests he is self-taught and loves to cook just as most people like to breathe. He has working knowledge of Italian, Japanese, French and Spanish cuisines, gleaned from his travels and bolstered by the undying curiosity of a child. The menu he attempts is formidable and frenetic. When the small room he calls a restaurant is even half-full, he can be easily overwhelmed with orders. He creates a list of a dozen or so appetizers, traipsing borders and using uncommon ingredients, such as crosnes, aji amarillo and uni. His entrées are bold, complex and, at times, beguiling. As of this writing, he is serving grilled strawberries with lamb shanks braised in lavender and honey; by the time you read this, though, that dish will be history. Emery is never satisfied: He thinks of new ways to challenge himself and his customers; and he's been known to introduce a new dish one night and jettison it the next. Don't even try to convince him to edit his menu down or ask him to be less ambitious. We like our mad scientist just the way he is. $$$
Former Haven Gastropub partner Jeff Hall throws down the gauntlet with Chapter One, a challenge to not only his former colleagues, but also his neighbors at Santa Ana's burgeoning restaurant scene. The bar pours old-man drinks with equal jiggers of expertise and knowledge of the mixological arts. It's also up-to-date on the local beers. Meanwhile, chef Oge Dalken, a culinary raconteur in a city full of them, brings humor and lightness to dishes that are as fun to eat as they are to order. A beef culotte inspires other chefs to do better with bacon-wrapped steaks. And for a dessert called "Milk & Cereal," the breakfast food of our youths is deconstructed and reinterpreted: Panna cotta becomes the milk, and crispy Greek kataifi plays cereal. You have to order it to get the joke and realize that the culinary punch line is as delicious as the setup. $$
Old Vine is no stranger to these pages, having won Best Restaurant in 2009—and it has broadened its ambitions since then, hosting wine nights and even leading culinary tours of Italy. But the attention of brothers Mark and Brandon McDonald to the homefront hasn't suffered: You still see Brandon every morning through night, guiding customers old and new through the menu, maybe suggesting an omelet or the seasonal four-course chef's menu, and with a memory of the café's hundreds of wines that borders on That's Incredible! territory. Mark is almost as present on the floor, even though he's manning the kitchen, trading jokes with customers and making sure their experiences are always spectacular. Such attention to detail doesn't come out of economic survival or even hipster irony, but rather the McDonalds' honest-to-goodness enthusiasm for great food. They are redeeming their surname in the food industry. $$$

My local Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is always hounded. Whereas 10 years ago, I would have balked at a $2 drip coffee, today, I freely purchase one multiple times a week. Oh, and the brand in my Keurig - yeah, that's Starbucks too.
Unfortunately, I am late on the Starbucks bandwagon. Over the past 52 weeks, Starbucks has moved more than 46 percent higher, more than 2.5 times the S&P 500's gain of 18 percent. Much of that increase has come this year as the stock moved from the mid-$50s to an all-time high of $74.27. On Friday, it closed at $71.97 - 3 percent below that high. The median analyst target is $79.70, which would represent an 11 percent upside from the current price.
SBUX is valued with a forward price-to-earnings of 22.8 and a trailing P/E of 29.5, not particularly rich compared with competitors Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ:DNKN) - at 23.8 - and Green Mountain Coffee (NASDAQ:GMCR) - also at 22.8. Despite the lower forward P/E, Starbucks has much less debt than Dunkin' and has been able to grow quarterly revenues twice as fast - 13.3 percent compared with 5.9 percent.
The below chart discusses Starbucks' 52-week performance. It is hard to not notice the two prior gap openings in the price following earnings reports (circled on the chart). The price opened substantially higher and then retraced all or part of the gap before moving to the upside once more. Interestingly, that mirrors current price action as well.
When looking at the chart, compared with these three factors, I believe Starbucks has the perfect recipe for success. Here are the three main reasons that it will continue to outperform the market: (1) strong revenue growth; (2) a strategic plan for the future; and (3) a management team that can implement.
Strong top-line growth. Recent earnings growth across companies in the market has been accompanied by a struggle to achieve revenue growth. Revenue growth in the S&P 500 this quarter is averaging at 1.7 percent, though revenue among consumer discretionary companies averaged gains of 7.1 percent. SBUX beat both of these numbers, gaining 13.3 percent in Q3 versus a year ago.
Strong top-line growth also contributes to profit growth in a much more sustainable way than cutting costs. SBUX profits grew 20 percent year-over-year, double the 10.7 percent average among consumer discretionary and substantially higher than the 4.1 percent among other S&P 500 companies.
International growth. Revenues in the Asia region gained by 30 percent in the most recent quarter, a result of the 500 new stores opened this year. And Starbucks has plans for China to become its largest non-U.S. market as the company doubles its locations from 700 to 1,500 by 2015.
And the potential in China is huge. Euromonitor reported that in 2012 an average Chinese person consumed just two cups of coffee a year - compared with 134 cups for the global average. As Starbucks expands more into teas, which encompass 54 percent of China's hot-drink market, it should be able to win customers and build a brand.
That international focus led the company to reshuffle its top executive team in May. Which leads me to my third point…
Management - specifically, Howard Schultz. Howard Schultz is a visionary. And, around him, I believe that Starbucks has one of the best management teams of any public company. In fact, in 2012, Fast Company named Starbucks as one of the 50 most innovative companies - right up there with top-tier tech companies, and one of three food and beverage companies on the list (Chipotle and Chobani were the others).
As Fast Company describes, Schultz empowers employees to create new products - Via, La Boulange, salads and lunch products - that can win new customers, instead of just adding new flavors and brands to current products. Starbucks' management has learned from its failed attempt to expand too quickly and instead of trying to sell the same amount of stuff at more stores, it is working to sell more and more stuff at the same number of stores. That is a winning strategy, and as long as Schultz is directing it, the company is in good hands.
I expect Starbucks to continue to outperform the S&P, with a share price that will eventually top $100, as the company continues international expansion and accelerates plans to become a larger source for food options.
However, with uncertainty looming regarding the path of the Federal Reserve's tapering, now is the time to take a measured approach to entering equity positions. I would favor entering one-third of a position at current levels, with another third entered on 5 percent pullbacks.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

"While 2012 presented challenging business conditions, we continued to enhance our competitive position by improving our cost structure, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, and growing relationships with our customers. These actions are aimed at improving our future performance and positioning ATI to benefit from longer-term growth opportunities. Some examples of our strategic actions include:
- Our continuing focus on reducing costs, which resulted in gross cost reductions before the effects of inflation of nearly $114 million in 2012.
- In the first full year as part of ATI, the ATI Ladish high performance forgings and castings business recorded its best revenue year ever. Synergy opportunities continue to expand and are gaining momentum. We are internally sourcing more titanium alloy and nickel-based superalloy mill products and are achieving other cost reductions and technology improvements. It is clear that ATI's vertically integrated capabilities in nickel, titanium, and specialty alloys provide opportunities for value creation for our customers and shareholders.
- We further improved our position with both existing and new customers in the key end markets of aerospace, oil and gas/chemical process industry, electrical energy, and medical through strategic and long-term agreements for new alloys and new products.
- Our Rowley titanium sponge facility completed the standard-grade qualification (SQ) process during the first half of 2012. We continue to improve the facility's cost structure through process and productivity improvements and technology initiatives, and we expect to begin the premium-grade qualification (PQ) process in 2013.
- We continued to enhance our capabilities as the world's leader in titanium plasma arc melting (PAM) with the qualification during 2012 of our newest PAM furnace. This is our fourth PAM furnace and ATI remains the world's leading PAM melter for the most critical and demanding jet engine applications.
- Our Flat-Rolled Products segment Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF) project is on schedule and on budget. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. While the HRPF is expected to be ready for service by the end of this year, commissioning is scheduled to occur during the first half of 2014. This game-changing investment is designed to significantly enhance ATI's flat-rolled products capabilities, reduce manufacturing cycle times, and lower costs.
- We took steps to size our primary zirconium operations to improve its cost structure in the post-Fukushima Daiichi nuclear electrical energy market.
- To further improve our operating efficiency, we consolidated operations in our Engineered Products segment resulting in the closure of our iron casting facility in Alpena, MI, which resulted in a $8.8 million, after-tax, non-cash special charge in the fourth quarter 2012. In our Flat-Rolled Products segment, we are consolidating service center operations, which is on schedule to be completed by the end of the 2013 first quarter.
- Our financial position remains solid with cash on hand of $305 million at the end of 2012. Cash provided by operations was $182 million in the fourth quarter and $428 million for the full year 2012."

About 40 people showed up at Chiefland's City Hall Tuesday afternoon at a town hall meeting to listen to U.S. Congressman Rich Nugent (R - Florida) talk about how a federal budget proposed by Congressman Paul Ryan (R - WI) is the only plan that will lead to "prosperity."
"You can't take every penny you make to pay off your debt," Nugent told the crowd.
Government spending is out of control, he said.
Gov. Rick Scott may be crowing about Florida having its lowest crime rate in 30 years in 2010 with a drop of 6.6 percent, but Levy County experienced a 4.1 percent increase in crime.
The numbers released by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Monday come from crime report information submitted by local law enforcement agencies to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to the report:
• Population went from an estimated 40,674 residents to 41,451 in 2010
• Murder was dwon from 1 murder in 2009, to none in 2010
City commissioners made no decision Monday night on approving a draft of the city's new mandatory water connection ordinance.
The ordinance, which received its first reading at Monday's regular meeting, requires city residents living within 300 feet of a city water line to get connected. Residents living farther than 300 feet are exempt, though they would still have to pay the minimum monthly water charge. The ordinance recently came back from the city planning board after objections about the original ordinance having no distance requirement.
A woman who claims to not understand English or Spanish and was in a home with drugs, guns and over $100,000 in cash has been jailed as a "Jane Doe," according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
The arrest came after deputies and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents did a "knock and talk" at a home on Southeast 80th Street in Morriston. A woman answered the door and officers detected the odor of marijuana.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office has filed a sworn complaint for improper exhibition of a firearm against Chiefland Fire Chief James Lonnie Harris.
At 2:15 a.m. Friday morning, LCSO deputies responded to a call from 51-year-old Harris about a suspicious person on his property, located at 7431 N.W. 115 St., in Chiefland, according to the LCSO incident report.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office, which has been trying to find money to hire more dispatchers for its busy communications center, found the answer next door at the jail.
Maj. Evan Sullivan, head of law enforcement, requested and received unanimous approval to move $41,157.18 from the jail budget to the dispatch budget during Tuesday's regular County Commission meeting.
Employees of Chassahowitzka and Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife refuges gathered for lunch on Thursday to bid farewell to Refuge Manager John Kasbohm. Kasbohm and his family are relocating to the Pacific Northwest where Kasbohm will assume the duties of refuge manager of the Sheldon-Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Oregon and Nevada.
Because of the thunderstorms that recently passed through the area, Central Florida Electric Cooperative wants to remind citizens of the dangers from power lines and other electrical equipment after a storm.
Electrical hazards can be thought of as "hidden" because the danger is not readily evident. In other words, you cannot look at a downed power line and "see" that it is energized. Therefore, you must always assume that it is energized and very dangerous.
Work is scheduled to begin April 25 on a project to widen U.S. 41 in eastern Levy County to allow for new left turn lanes.
Crews will widen U.S. 41 in front of the Morriston Post Office to allow for left turn lanes onto County Road (C.R.) 323 and C.R. 326.
Lane closures are planned Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to dusk. The posted speed limit of 60 mph will remain during construction, but motorists should use caution when crews are working.
Bill Brown of Levy County, who was one of 20 nominees for the nation's highest civilian award, was honored with a plaque of appreciation from the Levy County Commission on Tuesday. Participating in the presentation were, from left, Commissioners Chad Johnson, Danny Stevens, Marsha Drew, Bill Brown and Commissioner Ryan Bell. The Civilian Service Before Self medal is bestowed on three recipients annually by the Medal of Honor Foundation whose members are the living recipients of the Medal of Honor.

Tyson tickets still up for grabs
Mike Tyson has arrived for his controversial fight in Glasgow with thousands of tickets yet to be sold.
The convicted rapist squares up to Lou Savarese in a specially constructed boxing ring at Hampden Park on Saturday evening.
The capacity of Scotland's national stadium was increased to 60,000 for the fight, but has since been cut back to 51,800 after it was disclosed that only about 40,000 tickets had been sold.
Tyson arrived at 2130 BST for the 2300BST bout in a metallic green Mercedes. But speculation was rife about the whereabouts of promoter Frank Warren.
When asked whether the promoter had arrived in Glasgow, a spokesman for the organisers said: "Not at the moment but he could come later. But I can't confirm that at the moment."
The sporting event has attracted condemnation from women's groups and politicians who claim Tyson should not have been granted a visa to enter the UK.
The Glasgow-based Rape Crisis Centre, which failed in a legal bid earlier this month to overturn Home Secretary Jack Straw's decision to allow Tyson into the country, held a protest outside the venue.
Centre development officer Sandy Brindley said: "We're here to show our concern and continuing anger over Jack Straw's decision and to emphasise that a convicted rapist is not a good role model for young people.
"We are encouraged by the fact there have been poor ticket sales and this shows there's a lot of people who share our convictions about the unacceptability of violence against women."
Celebrity fight-goers
Celebrities expected to attend the fight included rock star Rod Stewart, ex-boxer Frank Bruno and actress Pamela Anderson's husband Tommy Lee, drummer with rock band Motley Crue.
The event has not generated the predicted bonanza for Glasgow businesses, though the city's Chamber of Commerce still hopes for around £5m.
Bookmakers are not seeing the same degree of interest for the Tyson fight, compared with other sporting events.
Ladbrokes spokesman, Sean Boyce, said: "It's been pretty low key. There's not real British interest other than the fact its being held in Glasgow and there's no title at stake.
"If you compare it with Euro 2000, which will be our biggest event we've seen, there's not the level of interest. When there's something at stake that's when you see the big punters coming out."
Good shape
On Friday both fighters weighed in with Tyson surprising onlookers with his trim physique - there had been speculation his training has been disrupted and that he was not fully fit.
But at 15st 12lbs he is in good shape and significantly lighter than Savarese who was just over 17st.
However, Savarese believes Tyson may have been unsettled by some of the controversy surrounding the fight.
Savarese even boldly insisted of Tyson: "He's no legend."
Savarese said: "Just look at the way he behaves - I don't consider Mike Tyson a legend by any means.
Poor build-up for Tyson
"I'm not worried. He's a man. He's got two arms and two legs, just like me. I certainly don't consider Mike Tyson to be the greatest."
Aside from the protests about the fight Tyson's own build up has been less than smooth.
He has been deeply affected by the sudden deathof his close friend Darryl Baum.
Comparisons are being made with Tokyo in 1990 when Tyson, torn apart by promotional and personal problems, surrendered his undisputed world heavyweight title to 44-1 outsider James "Buster" Douglas.
And Savarese, an Italian-American, is a proven performer on the fringe of world title level who some pundits suggest has enough ability to cause an upset.

Sign Language
Love is sign language,
it's not what you say,
or what you give,
it's how you act
how you smile,
how you laugh
how you gently
hold her hand
how your eyes
are filled with love
how she melts
at your touch
how your lips
whisper, 'I love you, '
how you brush
your fingers through
her soft hair,
those tender lips
are tenderness
is sign language.

Consumer Confidence?
The market awaits the latest reading on consumer confidence but what is the point. The US consumer is showing their confidence with the wild Black Friday and Cyber Monday spending spree. It appears that the US consumers are able to ignore the worries in Europe and the rest of the world, giving incredible upside momentum in the petroleum complex. It is obvious that the US consumer is feeling better about our economic outlook, or at the very least they just need to get out and spend. So instead of worrying about Europe and looking to the developing world, perhaps the world will once again look to the American consumer to once again bail out the global economy. Ahh just like the old days.
Of course oil is also gaining support from overseas worries. Despite the reports of a natural gas pipeline explosion in Egypt the truth is the election in Egypt seemed to be rather calm.
The Global Warming Conference in URBAN, South Africa is not going all that well. According to the USA Today, the conference is warning that global warming already is causing suffering and conflict in Africa, from drought in Sudan and Somalia to flooding in South Africa according to President Jacob Zuma and he urged delegates at an international climate conference to look beyond national interests for solutions.
Yet there is word that Canada is not interested in what this conference is trying to sell. There are reports that Canada is looking to drop out of the Kyoto Treaty. Reuters News reports, "Canada dismissed the Kyoto Protocol on climate change on Monday as a thing of the past, but declined to confirm a media report it will formally pull out of the international treaty before the end of this year.
Although the Conservative government walked away from its Kyoto obligations years ago, a formal withdrawal would deal a symbolic blow to global talks to save the agreement, which opened in Durban, South Africa on Monday. Canada says it backs a new global deal to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, but insists it has to cover all nations, including China and India, which are not bound by Kyoto's current targets. Although Japan and Russia share Canada's view, and the United States never ratified Kyoto, no nation has yet formally renounced the treaty. "Kyoto is the past," Environment Minister Peter Kent told reporters in Ottawa, describing the decision by Canada's previous Liberal government to sign on to the protocol as "one of the biggest blunders they made."
"The Conservatives — who green groups say are recklessly pushing development of the Alberta oil sands and ignoring the environment — complain the Liberals signed Kyoto and then did nothing to stop the country's emissions from soaring. "What we know is that we cannot comply with it ... that's a fact," Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver told reporters. Well the good news is that the world is actually getting cooler. According to the World Meteorological Organization, "The global average temperature in 2011 was down from the record high hit in 2010 due to it being a La Nina year, which has a cooling influence. Speaking on the sidelines of the United Nations-sponsored COP17 climate change talks, the UN weather group said 2011, still with one month left, was the tenth warmest year on record. While the temperature was down from 2010, the WMO said it was higher than previous La Nina years. Global climate in 2011 was heavily influenced by the strong La Nina event which developed in the tropical Pacific in the second half of 2010 and continued until May 2011, the WMO said. La Nina is a periodic climatic phenomenon that brings more rain to the western pacific and which devastated the production of agricultural crops in Australia, South America and the U.S. late last year. La Nina was also associated with the drought in east Africa, islands in the central equatorial Pacific, and the southern United States, WMO said. Surface air temperatures were higher than the long-term average in 2011 over most land areas of the world, WMO said. The largest deviation from average temperatures took place in Russia, especially in the north, where January-October temperatures were around 4 degrees Centigrade above average in some places."

Spray Booth
The term 'Spray Booth' is a generalised term used to describe a variety of types of extraction, containment and filtration equipment employed by a huge range of industries to facilitate the protection of staff, products and the environment from airborne contamination. A Spray booth can be used to provide containment of a wide variety of airborne contaminants. Such contaminants may indeed be in the form of paint or powder spray (hence the term spray booth) but may also be a by-product of mixing, fettling, decanting or preparing a wide range of powdered materials, solvents, prepared substrates or finished products.
Spray booths usually include some type of filter to trap the contaminants prior to expelling the filtered air to atmosphere. Although often seen as a type of industrial dustbin the spray booth performs two of the most important tasks in modern day industrial processes. Firstly a correctly designed and installed spray booth will provide protection from the unwanted inhalation of damaging contaminants, not only for the operator of the booth but also from all other persons working within the surrounding factory environment. Secondly a good spray booth will protect our environment by ensuring that only the cleanest of air is released into the outside environment.

"Any commissioner has got a statutory duty to get in the government's revenue," Mr Boucher told The Australian Financial Review.
Mr Jordan, who has never worked for the ATO, will bear the responsibility of meeting tough revenue demands. Income tax fell by almost $4 billion from the May budget until the mid-year revision in October, to $248 billion, largely due to diving corporate tax collections. Tax debts have blown out to nearly $17 billion.
External appointments to the chief spot were common at the US Internal Revenue Service, Mr Boucher said.
"My observation over the years always was that those people, once they were in those new roles, were just as much Uncle Sam's men as were the permanent public servants in the IRS," Mr Boucher said.
"They'd been out in the world and they knew what's been happening."
For business, that contains a sage warning: Mr Jordan may know their operations too well.
Having left the ATO 20 years ago, Mr Boucher said he was not in a position to comment on the challenges that Mr Jordan would face today.
"He will have to determine where he puts his energies," he said. "Each commissioner brings their own approach to things.
"I did things differently to my predecessors. In the end everything settles down."
Mr Boucher became well known for fearless tax raids on fraudsters operating bottom-of-the-harbour tax schemes. His troops were dubbed "Boucher's bloodhounds".
"They were always very nice bloodhounds," he says.
He said that his stamp on the office was kick-starting its modernisation.
"Things had been pretty stable in the office and it was a big paper-churning factory and the technology, once good, had become outdated.
"We brought in new technology, self-assessment, new offices for staff. That was a role new to me, but I got into it and the results are there."
It is a trend his successors have continued, including outgoing commissioner Michael D'Ascenzo, who invested $800 million in a computer system upgrade.
Tax commissioners have traditionally risen through the ATO ranks. Mr Boucher, like commissioners before him, recommended his successor in Michael Carmody, a pick adopted by the government of the time.
The past eight commissioners each spent more than three decades at the ATO, including Bill O'Reilly and Leo Canavan, with 48 years apiece. The average time served by the 11 tax chiefs to date is around 34 years.
Not Mr Jordan. Chairman of KPMG NSW before retiring this year, he has stolen headlines in his efforts as head of the federal government's business tax working group, which tried to, but could not, find a way to fund a corporate tax cut.
The appointment of Mr Jordan, as a so-called "outsider", has buoyed business, which is confident he will apply the consultative methods adopted during that process.
Mr Boucher was reappointed for a second seven-year stint as tax commissioner but ended his reign after nine years.
Asked whether he would want to take on the challenges faced by Mr Jordan today, he said: "About 2½ years into that second appointment I went to the government and said, 'Look, this is tiring me out, I've had enough.' That might answer your question."

The battle for the championship in on! WWE Colossal Crashdown Arena Playset with its RAW-themed ring gives a wonderful opportunity to recreate popular matches at home.
Bring home the fun and excitement of World Wrestling Entertainment with the WWE FlexForce Colossal Crashdown Arena Set. Officially licensed by WWE, this arena is the largest FlexForce play set yet and features a RAW-themed ring with elevated 18-inch collapsible superstructure. Kids aged 6 years and up will enjoy hours of fun recreating over-the-top title matches and crashing through the ceiling with their toughest FlexForce figures (figures sold separately).
Designed for use with most FlexForce figures, this large, highly detailed set is dominated by an elevated circular TitanTron supported by two large articulating superstructure arms. Along each arm sit sliding action points for the placement of figures. Kids can poise figures to crash through the ceiling grates, hit the trigger, and bring down the whole arena in spectacular fashion.
Fully assembled, the arena set measures approximately 22 inches wide and 18 inches high. Its large size means that it can accommodate numerous FlexForce figures for an all-out RAW-styled brawl, complete with championship belt suspended from the TitanTron.
With its towering size and realistic details, the arena set provides an impressive venue to stage exciting matches. Kids will enjoy the spring-loaded mats, flexible pro-tension ropes, and sliding action points that catapult figures through the air. The moveable action points can also be repositioned atop the turnbuckles to simulate real wrestling moves. Best of all, the collapsible superstructure comes crashing down at the push of a button, making for a dramatic end to a title bout.
The arena set requires minor assembly and label placement that can be completed in a few easy steps. Once built, the remarkably lightweight set is surprisingly durable for repeat action. Fans of WWE will appreciate the attention to detail and images of famous RAW matches, while kids will enjoy launching their favorite figures about and crashing them through the collapsible structure.

Top-Five Finish At The Glen For Konica Minolta
Posted by: newsla on Jun 30, 2014 - 07:35 AM
Top-Five Finish At The Glen For Konica Minolta
Date: June 29, 2014
Event: Sahlenâs Six Hours of The Glen (Round 6 of 11)
Series: Prototype division of the Tudor United SportsCar Championship
Location: Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International (3.4-mile, 11-turn road course)
Start/Finish: 6th / 5th (Running, completed 190 of 191 laps)
Winner: Richard Westbrook and Michael Valiante of Spirit of Daytona Racing (Corvette DP)
Leaving the always grueling Sahlenâs Six Hours of The Glen with a top-five finish and the series points lead should be cause for celebration more often than not.
But for brothers Ricky and Jordan Taylor and their part-time co-driver Max âThe Axâ Angelelli, Sundayâs fifth-place result in the annual midyear endurance classic at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International only leaves them and their No. 10 Konica Minolta Chevrolet Corvette Dallara Daytona Prototype teammates from Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) wondering what might have been, even though they head to the next event still leading the Prototype-class standings.
This yearâs six-hour marathon on the 3.4-mile, 11-turn Watkins Glen road circuit turned out to be over for the Konica Minolta Corvette DP team not long after the two-hour mark, and it was all because somebody ran a red light.
The veteran Italian Angelelli, who joined the Taylor brothers for this third of four events in the Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup championship within a championship, pitted during the dayâs second of four caution periods shortly after the two-hour mark to top off the tank of the No. 10 Corvette. Quick work by the WTR crew sent Angelelli back out on track in third place. But series officials notified the team that a red light was illuminated at the exit to pit road, meaning all cars were required to stop there. Angelelli never saw the red light. Never even looked for it. Never stopped. The penalty was to be a stop-and-go plus 60-second hold in the penalty box to be served under green-flag conditions.
âI did not even look for any kind of red light because there has always been a person standing there with a red flag whenever the pit exit was closed,â said Angelelli, who co-drove with Ricky Taylor to a thoroughly dominating victory in this event three years ago. âFor 10 years of racing with this team, there was always a person there with a flag, but apparently they changed that. Nobody told me it had changed and to look for a red light. Thatâs very unfortunate because it hurt us today.â
Angelelli served the penalty on lap 72 of todayâs 191-lap race, at the two-hour, 25-minute mark. He resumed in sixth place but fell off the lead lap, which at the time did not cause any great concern with more than three hours and 30 minutes to go. One timely caution would enable the No. 10 team to get waved around the pace car and get back on the lead lap.
But it was not meant to be on this day as three solid hours passed before the next yellow flag flew from the starterâs stand, with only 25 minutes to go in the race. Jordan Taylor was behind the wheel at the time, sitting in fifth place but still a lap down. The race went back to green with just less than 12 minutes remaining and Taylor was mere car lengths behind the race-leading No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Racing Corvette DP with an eye on unlapping himself. But an accident involving two prototypes brought out the yellow less than a lap later and all that was left was a one-lap dash to the finish once the race went back to green with less than 30 seconds remaining.
âIt was not a great day,â said Jordan Taylor, who was seeking his first career Watkins Glen victory in his 10th career start at the track. âMy job really didnât impact anything at all. I was basically just doing laps out there when we were a lap down. We got close to getting it back at the end there. But we needed a yellow much earlier than that, but it never came. It was kind of out of our hands after that. The car was good enough for the podium and to fight for the win on the last restart to battle with the leaders. But, for how it ended up, I think it was the best points scenario for us with the order the top-three cars finished in. So we canât be too disappointed and just move on to Mosport.â
Older brother Ricky Taylor, who followed up his and Angelelliâs 2011 Sahlenâs Six Hours of The Glen win with another dominating victory in that yearâs August sprint race, qualified sixth late Saturday and got things off to a highly encouraging start this morning.
The 24-year-old Taylor picked off three positions on the opening lap with some heads-up driving and kept the No. 10 Konica Minolta Corvette in third place until the dayâs first round of scheduled pit stops on lap 25, 43 minutes into the race. He led one lap as the leaders cycled through the pits and resumed in fifth place. He worked his way back into the top-three at the one-hour, 20-minute mark on lap 46. Thirteen minutes later, at the one-hour, 33-minute mark, Taylor pitted a second time to hand the car over to Angelelli, who resumed in fourth place.
âWe had a great car â a podium car, for sure â but the penalty just killed us,â Ricky Taylor said. âI could see a stop-and-go for running the red light, but a stop-plus-60 seconds is just crazy. If we would have just had a stop-and-go, we would have at least had a chance to race at the end and control our own destiny. The penalty just ended our race today. We spent the rest of the day just trying to get back on the lead lap, but that turned out to be impossible with no yellows until it was too late. It was just a harsh penalty. Thatâs the main thing. I know one thing, thatâll never happen to us again.â
The fifth-place finish, coupled with the third-place finish by Christian Fittipaldi and Joao Barbosa in the No. 5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP, narrowed WTRâs lead from seven points to three atop the Tudor series standings. Westbrook and Valiante went on to win todayâs race in their No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP, beating the runner-up No. 42 OAK Racing Nissan Morgan LMP2 car of the pole-winning Alex Brundle, Gustavo Yacaman and HoPin Tung. WTR started the day just two points behind the No. 5 Action Express team in the North American Endurance Cup but saw that deficit widen to six points with todayâs results. The Endurance Cup concludes with the season-ending Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October.
âIt really was a frustrating day,â said team owner Wayne Taylor, who co-drove to a pair of sprint-race victories at The Glen with Angelelli en route to the 2005 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series championship. âThe penalty just killed our race. We didnât have the best car in qualifying. And then Brian (Pillar) and the engineers did a great job to give us a much-improved car in the morning warm-up. We thought we had a good car in the race. We showed in the race that we could help set the pace. But getting a stop plus 60 seconds â thatâs huge â and adding there were no cautions until it was too late in the race to help get us that lap back was very frustrating. But weâre still ahead in the championship, although not by as much. So weâll just have to work harder and keep from making mistakes.â
Next up for the 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship is the Mobil 1 Sportscar Grand Prix Sunday, July 13 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario. FOX Sports 1 will carry the live television broadcast of the two-hour, 45-minute race beginning at 2 p.m. EDT.

Carson Daly 'Excited' About Possible Fall Third Season For 'The Voice'
"The Voice" host Carson Daly won't confirm it. He won't deny it, either. But he doesn't see the possibility that NBC's "The Voice" might air its third season this coming fall as a bad thing, The Hollywood Reporter claims.
"We'd certainly be excited by the opportunity to have a show people are so passionate on again in the fall," Daly said. "The truth is it's a call from the network. We'd obviously be thrilled by it."
It would also make "The Voice" the only show putting up back-to-back seasons squaring off in prime time against both "American Idol" currently and possibly FOX's second round of Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" this fall.
Neither Daly nor reality television King Midas Mark Burnett directly say "yay" or "nay" to the possibility during NBC's Summer Press Day today. Though neither was that forthcoming with anything concrete, producers have already begun third-season auditions, well ahead of when they started looking at hopefuls for the current second season.
The network routinely wins its Monday night slot currently, but would that same success carry over when the weather chills and leaves start falling? It's entirely possible. "The X Factor" looks wounded. Cowell and FOX brass haven't yet named a host that will replace ousted first-season emcee Steve Jones, and though Britney Spears appears close to a deal to become a new judge, there still remains possibly a fourth seat at that table to be filled. It would additionally remain to be seen how airing against "Monday Night Football" might touch ratings.
It's a great deal to take on, but if "The Voice" can trounce "The X Factor" in a ratings war, it's entirely possible that it would establish NBC's talent search as a contender to the "American Idol" throne.
The Voice, The X Factor

SYDNEY – An Australia-led study has identified a gene associated with a common form of epilepsy that could lead to earlier diagnosis, a researcher said.
Melbourne University academic Ingrid Scheffer said a number of genes linked to epilepsy are known to scientists, but these relate to rare families in which a large number of members have the condition.
"The reason that this discovery is very important is that it's not just for rare families, we think it will be a gene that will be important for people without a family history," Scheffer said Tuesday. "So it's changing the game in terms of being important for a much broader number of people with focal epilepsy."
Focal, or partial, seizures start in one part of the brain and affect the part of the body controlled by that part of the brain. Scheffer said a clinical diagnosis could not be made for epilepsy without seizures of some kind but the finding could aid genetic counseling and diagnosis — particularly in cases where everything else in the brain is normal.
"When you have epilepsy people always say, 'Why have I got this?' And this is the next level, which is the gene test," she said. "So they will be able to be tested for this gene, and that's important in terms of understanding the cause, in terms of treatment, and hopefully this will one day help outcomes.
"And it's also important in terms of genetic counseling for their own children," she said, meaning people would be able to assess the risk for their own offspring if they were found to have the gene.
The research comes after new gene detection techniques allowed scientists to pinpoint the abnormality, finding it in 12 percent of the 80 families studied, in which one or more members had epilepsy.
"That's huge to find a gene that picks up 12 percent . . . of the common cause of epilepsy," Scheffer said. "I think it means that if you look at anybody with focal epilepsy — without an abnormality on their MRIs, what we call a structural abnormality — my guess is that it will be 2 to 4 percent of them will have this cause."
The research, published in the April issue of the journal Nature Genetics, also involved scientists in Europe and Canada.
