Coach K ditches jacket, earns 900th win with Duke basketballMike Krzyzewski lit a fire under his team when he removed his jacket during Saturday's game against Florida State.
Removing a suit jacket may not be uncommon for head coaches, but is a rarity for Krzyzewski. After slogging through the opening 10 minutes of the game, the Blue Devils responded to Krzyzewski's fashion statement—reeling off a 12-2 run to create some breathing room between themselves and the Seminoles.
"He's always like that," point guard Quinn Cook, a junior, said of Krzyzewski's sideline intensity. "He wants the best for his team, and he was coaching his butt off. I think the guys will respond to it."
Respond they did. Duke closed the half on a 20-9 run in the final 7:30 to head into the locker room with a comfortable 43-25 advantage. The energy and aggressiveness that fueled Duke's first-half spurt never wavered in the second half, as the Blue Devils used a dominant rebounding performance and consistent free-throw shooting to dispatch Florida State 78-56, earning Krzyzewski his 900th career win at Duke.
It was fitting that the milestone victory for men's college basketball's all-time winningest coach came the way so many others had before. The Blue Devils won not on the backs of a freshman phenom or a terrific transfer, but due to the play of its role players. Although Krzyzewski abandoned the hockey-style line changes that he had featured during the past three games, the head coach still substituted liberally. Eight Blue Devils played at least 11 minutes.
"I'm proud of my guys. We beat a really good team," Krzyzewski said. "Our bench really came through.... I thought Marshall [Plumlee] played an outstanding game. Tyler [Thornton], we didn't know if he was going to play today. He's had the flu but he said he would give it a try and he played well. Rasheed [Sulaimon], obviously, can really penetrate and got us to the line. He handles the ball so well in those situations."
It was a convincing win for the No. 18 Blue Devils, who have now won four straight ACC games, but it wasn't always pretty. After Andre Dawkins knocked down two straight 3-pointers in a spot-start for Rodney Hood to open the game, Duke struggled mightily from the floor, posting its worst shooting performance of the season by going just 18-for-59.
A product of all the misses, though, was the ample opportunity for offensive rebounds. The Blue Devils had a field day, racking up 27 offensive boards en route to a 47-24 dismantling of the larger Seminoles on the glass, coming up with 29 second-chance points in the process.
"They're one of the biggest, if not the biggest team in the ACC, so as a team we knew we had to come ready and play with a lot of discipline," Plumlee said.
Jabari Parker posted his second straight double-double for the Blue Devils, hauling in 14 rebounds—10 of them offensive—to go with his 14 points. Duke also got a major shot in the arm from Plumlee, who set career highs with seven points and seven offensive rebounds of his own in just 12 minutes.
Rounding back into prime basketball shape after offseason surgery, the redshirt sophomore got his afternoon started with a thunderous putback dunk late in the first half, which ignited the Blue Devils' most dominant stretch of the game. On Duke's next possession, Plumlee grabbed an offensive rebound, leading to a 3-pointer by Cook. A Seminole turnover led to a dunk by Parker, and then Sulaimon fed Plumlee for a fast-break layup, turning a 34-21 lead into a 41-21 advantage in less than 90 seconds.
"It's so exciting to be out there when your teammates are excited and when Cameron is excited," Plumlee said. "It's easy to come off the bench when you're seeing Jabari, Rodney, Amile [Jefferson] and Josh [Hairston] set a good example of how to play hard and how to play together. I'm just following their lead."
Plumlee also did something he'd never done before in a Duke uniform—make a free throw. He entered the game 0-for-15 during his two-year career, but looked comfortable at the line Saturday, sinking three of his four attempts. The game got a bit chippy in the second half as Florida State was called for three flagrant fouls. Afterwards, Plumlee was asked whether he should be taking those free throws from now on.
"I'm a long ways to go from that, but just one step at a time," Plumlee said. "Free-throw shooting is frustrating because I know I'm a capable free throw shooter, but it was nice to see them go in."
Plumlee wasn't the only Blue Devil to have success at the charity stripe Saturday. As a team, Duke made 34 of its 43 attempts, both season-highs. Parker went 8-of-9 from the line, Hood went 9-of-11, and Sulaimon was a perfect 8-of-8. Krzyzewski credited his team's aggressiveness for getting Florida State in foul trouble.
"They protect the basket well, but with our driving we got them into foul trouble, got some second-chance points," Krzyzewski said. "Once we got them into that double bonus, we really wanted to drive the ball. The offensive rebounds led to our opportunities to shoot free throws, and that was really the story of the game."

The Daily Creative Food Co.: Soups, Sandwiches, and Salads Heading to South Beach
The Daily is crossing the causeway.
Photo by Natalia Molina
The Daily Creative Food Co., a Biscayne Boulevard mainstay for sandwiches and people-watching, will open a second location, on South Beach, sometime in the late fall or early winter.
Owner Adam Meltzer and partner Alan Benjamini, who run the day-to-day operations at the existing location, have leased three adjacent spots in a West Avenue shopping plaza between Ninth and Tenth streets, where they'll offer the Daily's massive menu on the island.

The seemingly endless list of soups, salads, and sandwiches includes a handful of items named for local media outlets. New Times is nowhere to be found, though there are tributes to New York's Newsday and The Philadelphia Tribune stuffed between two pieces of bread.
The café will have about 65 seats inside and 55 on the sidewalk. Delivery, the longtime savior of hungover downtown denizens, will also be available.
Meltzer, who ran a sit-down Mediterranean restaurant in New York City about a decade ago, said he's been looking to expand the Daily for some time but hasn't been able to because of the size and variety of the menu.
"If I was a smaller concept like a taco place or pizza or something, we'd be in five or six locations by now," he said. "The fact that my menu is so large and we do most things from scratch actually creates a problem."

The Australian dollar has this year taken over the mantle of the world's best-performing currency from the Brazilian real, and yesterday the Reserve Bank gave every indication it was happy to let it keep rising.
The RBA's quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy, released yesterday, hinted strongly that further official rate rises were on the way - adding to the impetus for investors to continue to push the dollar even higher.
The dollar responded, climbing back above US71˘ - hitting a high of US71.20˘ before consolidating. Analysts now believe the currency could hit US75˘ by early next year.
The financial markets' preoccupation with the RBA's monetary policy statement yesterday was not to see whether interest rates were likely to rise in December - almost every analyst is now convinced rates will rise - but how high they will ultimately jump.
"Westpac holds the view that rates will rise by a further 0.25 per cent in December, followed by another 0.25 per cent in the first quarter of 2004," said Westpac global head of economics Bill Evans.
"With the growth momentum of both global and domestic economies building, combined with the strength in household credit, the risk is that rates will go higher than our 5.5 per cent forecast," he said.
The RBA's statement said that "looking forward, stronger and more balanced growth is expected" and "the outlook for dwelling investment now looks to be considerably stronger than was the case earlier in the year".
Growing interest rate differentials between Australia and the rest of the industrialised world have been pushing up the value of the local currency.
It has gained 26 per cent against the US dollar this year.
The Australian dollar is the best performing this year of 59 world currencies monitored by Bloomberg, and has risen for nine of the past 10 weeks.
So far, however, the RBA seems comfortable with the upward move.
"The rise in the exchange rate has occurred against a background of strengthening economic conditions, both in Australia and abroad," the central bank said. "In this environment, a rising exchange rate is the normal pattern."
ANZ chief economist Saul Eslake says the RBA seems determined to push official rates back onto a "neutral rather than expansionary stance" - which he believes means they will rise to at least 5.5 per cent.
Last week the RBA lifted the official cash rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 5 per cent.
"I'd say the Reserve Bank has decided on its shift in policy to a neutral stance over the next few months almost regardless of the economic data which emerges over that period," he said.
The bond and bill markets reacted calmly to the RBA's statement. The three-year bond yield rose 2 basis points to 5.8 per cent, while the 10-year bond yield rose 2 basis points to 5.94 per cent

a journal of analysis and comment
advancing public understanding of religion and education
Fall 2002, Vol. 29 No. 2
Editor's Preface
The spring 2002 Supreme Court decision supporting vouchers evoked affirmations and denouncements across the country. We open the fall issue with three pieces of varying opinion on the school voucher issue. Lane V. Sunderland brings his understanding and analysis of constitutional history to argue for support of the Court's majority position. Next are remarks made by attorney Nicholas Miller at a panel discussion sponsored by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life held at the National Press Club on the day following the Court's decision. Speaking from the perspective of a Seventh-Day Adventist, a religious tradition with the second largest parochial school system behind Roman Catholics, he warns that this decision may be bad not only for religious schools, but for religious liberty generally. Jan Resseger concludes this section arguing that this decision threatens to undermine public education. Ms. Resseger is the Minister for Public Education and Witness for the United Church of Christ, the only Christian denomination with a paid national staff position dedicated to issues of public education. Her office, as well as the national headquarters of the denomination, is in Cleveland, Ohio, site of the original court case that led to this decision supporting school vouchers.
The several other articles that comprise this issue reflect the eclectic interests of our contributors and editors observing life at the intersection of religion and education. Liam Corley examines the work of the ancient Taoist Chuang Tzu as a teacher for the pedagogical insights to be found there. Michael Maher studied selected Catholic seminary policies for the implicit assumptions they reflect about homosexuality. Albert Pulido's article on a college course project on The Day of the Dead illustrates a case of the sum being greater than the parts. Mark Osler recounts an unusual collaboration of trial attorney and Baptist preachers in developing a law school course on oral advocacy. And concluding this issue is Dara Wakefield's account of one college's wrestling with aspirations for religious diversity while attempting to maintain its historic Christian identity.
The cover art by Paul Bonelli is a colored woodcut from 2000 entitled Delay Not the Fulfillment of a Vow to God. The credit card machine in the foreground reminds us of the extent some may go to enable or even define the fulfillment of religious commitment as an easy financial transaction. It was part of the fall 2001 art exhibit, A Question of Faith, at the University of Northern Iowa Gallery of Art, October 2001.

Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez told mlb.com yesterday that Jose Constanza will contend for the final bench spot in Spring Training.
Constanza's speed would give the Braves a legitimate backup to Michael Bourn in center field.
"He did enough last year that he deserves to get not [just] a look, but an opportunity," Gonzalez said.
Constanza hit .303 and stole seven bases in 42 games last season. He made his mark in August when he effectively replaced the struggling Jason Heyward and hit .342 for the month. He struggled down the stretch with September batting average of .174.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Fredi Gonzalez, Jose Constanza, MLB

Man Responsible for Tracy Morgan's Accident Tweets Again
Kevin Rodgers, the man who is in charge of crashing into Tracy Morgan earlier this month, tweeted a few more comments in regards to the incident.
"My statement on the unfortunate accident that happened Saturday: . First off my prayers go out to all the families that were affected my prayers to the man that passed away during the accident (Mr McNair) i wish it was me and i can't express how horrible i feel As for the accident i have some things to get off my chest that the media and police have neglected to report.
First off i never said i was awake for 24 hours, not once did i say that to any law enforcement or media person. These are lies being spread because they are pressured to make an arrest as this accident was being covered "NATIONALLY" because a famous person was involved. Once again the accident was horrific and we lost a precious life, but please remember i was not drunk, high, (I was tested and passed) under any influence of any drug or alcohol, i had an "ACCIDENT' which unfortunately occurred with a lot of media spotlight.
If my ACCIDENT occurs with no media spotlight i am issued a few traffic tickets. The excuse of me being up 24 hours is complete BS! I was never charged at the scene of the accident because once again i was not guilty of any crime. Not until all the TV cameras came did the police all of a sudden make a determination i was up 24 hours (sounds good and sells papers) also covers their ass
So yes i am now most likely f**ked because i had an unfortunate ACCIDENT with the wrong car that night
Kevin's tweets are now private. Good luck on that follow request.

Continued: NSF award
The award brings together multiple expertise and talent from across South Carolina and is a true collaborative effort with tremendous scientific rigor, said Dr. Jerry Odom, principal investigator for the award.
"This holds the promise of raising South Carolina to national prominence in the field of human tissue biofabrication," said Odom, who is the executive director of the University of South Carolina Foundations.
Dr. Roger Markwald of MUSC, the lead scientist for the project, said the research program will seek to "build tissue and organs from the inside out, which is a different approach than anyone has taken."
"First, we want to create a three-dimensional vascular tree and then the organ," he said. "This will allow us to develop the applications to build many different types of organs."
The award provides for the following:
- Expansion of a current Medical University of South Carolina bioprinting program into a statewide Advanced Tissue Biofabrication center
- Recruitment of 22 new faculty with expertise not currently available in South Carolina
- Creation of a global e-community to facilitate the development of sophisticated databases in vascular technology
- Establishment of national and international academic industrial collaborations and the integration of statewide initiatives for workforce development, education and communication to the general public
- Integration of the alliance's research with K-12 education to build South Carolina's future high-tech workforce.

Once a bookkeepers' shorthand, @ has become the fulcrum of our digital identities. How did that happen?
For a moment, let's not think about the @ symbol in the way we usually think of it, as the fulcrum of an email address, the navel connecting us to our Twitter handles, or even just the weird a hanging out above the 2 key.
Let's imagine it instead blinking upon a screen. It exists as our focal point in a Metaverse of text. It's a world with endless layers, the geometries, architectures, and inhabitants of which are likewise described by symbols on our keyboard. And in this world, @ is our avatar: a logogram of power that, once inscribed, represents our identity in an entirely digital world.
This metaphor for the @ symbol may seem exotic, but it isn't new. Some of the very first computer video games (called roguelikes) used @ to represent the player as he explored rudimentary ASCII dungeons. "This is you, and you are at this location within our cyber world."
More to the point, that's how we still use it. Popularized and rejuvenated by its insertion before every Twitter handle, the @ symbol today is almost a pronoun. It has a very personal meaning for billions of people across the planet. It's the symbol that means "digital me."
What makes this such an incredible feat is that before until about 20 years ago, few people had ever used an @ symbol at all, and if they did, they used it in a very different way than they do now.
"If you look at how we use typography, the human brain seems to only have room in its mental character set for a finite number of characters," says Keith Houston, the author of the upcoming book Shady Characters: The Secret Life Of Punctuation, Symbols, and Other Typographical Marks. "We're just not willing to slot in new symbols, or change the meaning of old characters. We just don't have the room."
So unlike words, the definitions of which tend to evolve through usage, the meaning of a symbol or character tends to be put in stasis by the cultural momentum behind it. The @ symbol, however, has done something unique, shrugging off centuries of momentum to evolve multiple times in the span of little more than a single generation.
Part of what made that accomplishment possible was the @ symbol's obscurity to begin with. Ever since the 1500s, and for hundreds of years after, the only people who used @ were bookkeepers, who used it as a shorthand to show how much they were selling or buying goods for: for example, "3 bottles of wine @ $10 each."
Since these bookkeepers used @ to deal with money, a certain degree of whimsical fondness for the character developed over time. In Danish, the symbol is known as an "elephant's trunk a"; the French call it an escargot. It's a streudel in German, a monkey's tail in Dutch, and a rose in Istanbul. In Italian, it's named after a huge amphora of wine, a liquid some Italian bookkeepers have been known to show a fondness for.
Even with such cute names to recommend it, though, @ languished in obscurity for three and a half centuries, only ending up on a new invention called the typewriter when salesmen realized that accountants and bookkeepers were buying them in droves.
In 1971, however, a keyboard with a vestigial @ symbol inherited from its typewriter ancestors found itself hooked up to an ARPANET terminal manned by Ray Tomlinson, who was working on a little program he'd come up with in his goofing-off time to send messages from computer to computer. Tomlinson ended up using the @ symbol as the fulcrum of the lever that ultimately ended up lifting the world into the digital age: email.
"It's difficult to imagine anyone in Tomlinson's situation choosing anything other than the '@' symbol, but his decision to do so at the time was inspired," explains Houston on his blog. "Firstly, it was extremely unlikely to occur in any computer or user names; secondly, it had no other significant meaning for the operating system on which it would run, and lastly, it read intuitively--user 'at' host."
It was as simple as that, but through this one serendipitous accident of typography, @ became the navel of the digital body we now call the Internet. It stopped being a sign for how much something cost and became a symbol of an infinite number of end points on a digital umbilicus: an origin, a destination, or some point--terminating in a human--in the system in-between.
As email matured, and early mass-market Internet services like Prodigy and America Online became popular, @ became even more typographically unique. It stood alone on the keyboard as the one symbol known more for its association with the Internet than for anything else. And as multiple service providers and technology companies grappled with trying to mass-market this new "World Wide Web" to consumers, the @ symbol became the call sign for the dot-com bubble.
"In the late-'90s, the @ symbol actually became generic," Houston argues. "It was like Apple's 'i' prefix, or putting 'e' in front of everything is today."
In fact, it became tacky. A symbol which had been chosen for email by virtue of its clarity, its elegance, and its relative obscurity became just another sticker in the box of cynical marketers looking to disguise analog companies and products for the turn of the millennium. Got something you want to jam to those console cowboys in cyberspace? Just put an "e-" in front of it, slap a dot-com at the end, and replace all the a's with @ symbols. "Eat e-b@n@n@s! Dot com!"
Inevitably, the @ symbol as the internationally recognized logo for anything "cyber" became played out. Laughably so, in fact. Stumble across one of Europe's remnant "CyberC@fes" today and the default reaction is a sort of bemusement and smirking superiority that we reserve for other quaintly naive cultural relics of the retro-future, like putting "2000" at the end of something or 1950s Popular Mechanics articles on robot housemaids. By the early 2000s, the @ symbol was pretty much dead except as the thing sandwiched in the middle of two halves of an email address.
But then Twitter happened, and the @ symbol reinvented itself yet again--this time purifying itself from a dot-com-era cliché into a rune of Internet identity.
When Twitter first launched in 2006, the service's modus operandi was to offer a blogging platform tiny enough that it could be done by mobile (dumb) phones. The 140-character limit Twitter imposes upon tweets to this day is a relic from this time, in which any tweet needed to be short enough that it could squeeze inside a 160-character SMS text message. Consequently, Twitter was much more no-frills back then than it is now. In fact, when the service launched, it didn't even have a reply mechanism. If you wanted to reply to someone's tweet, you just sort of responded into the ether in any way you hoped might catch another user's attention.
The @ symbol's adoption as Twitter's accepted reply mechanism happened organically, and took about eight months. The first use of an @ reply can be traced to Thanksgiving Day, 2006, when a couple of Yahoo UK programmers named Ben Darlow and Neil Crosby started using it (as they wrote at the time) as a "pseudo-syntax to let a Follower on twitter know that you're directing a comment at them." Just two months later, the @ reply was the universal Twitter reply mechanism, and now, you can type @ and follow it with the name of pretty much anyone on any social network to direct a reply to them.
"Two Yahoo UK programmers started using it @ as a 'pseudo-syntax to let a Follower on twitter know that you're directing a comment at them.'"
As with its use in email, it's hard to imagine Twitter not using @ to have conversations. But as with email, the decision was inspired. It was relatively easy to type on T9 cell phone keypads, and read intuitively: You were directing a comment "at" someone else. But instead of being used as it is used in email--a symbol used to tell your computer that you want to direct a message to a specific person at a specific location--the @ symbol has now become something much more abstract: a one-character prefix that is used to identify a person's digital presence on a social network.
Whether on Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter, type @ into almost any social network and you can direct a reply straight to another user. Just as in the earliest computer games, @ now clearly represents people who are inhabiting a digital world. "This is you. You are at here."
"All characters evolve in the way they are used, but the @ symbol's evolution has been particularly striking," Houston says. "It was mundane for a long time, only to undergo a startling transition during the beginning of the computer revolution that put it at the center of the way we think about the Internet."
But how permanent is this meaning for @, and could it be upended by another revolution that completely changes its meaning for our children and their children?
"The @ symbol is pretty well associated with digital identity now, so it's hard to see how it could be divorced from that," Houston claims. "These days, revolutions are getting incrementally smaller. The @ symbol has become our emblem for our online selves. I think that meaning is here to stay."

Antarctic global warming expedition to plant trees to offset carbon footprint of rescue; Planet saved
**Written by Doug Powers
The other day I asked, only semi-jokingly, how many trees would have to be planted in order to offset the carbon footprint from the massive rescue effort of the global warming expedition that became trapped in Antarctic ice.
We now have an answer:
The hapless Australasian Antarctic Expedition is finally homeward bound – and thousands of trees will have to be planted to offset the carbon footprint from the prolonged rescue effort.
The Russian research vessel Akademik Shokalskiy became stuck in thick pack ice some 3000km southwest of Bluff on Christmas Eve.
The 52 passengers, including six New Zealanders, spent eight days trapped before a helicopter from the Chinese ship Xue Long transferred them to Australian vessel Aurora Australis, which will take them to Hobart.
Yesterday, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the Xue Long's attempt to manoeuvre through the ice had been unsuccessful and it was now also beset by ice.
The expedition had pledged to plant about 800 kauri trees in Northland to cover its carbon footprint. Environmentalists believe planting trees helps to offset the impact of burning fuels such as diesel.
Expedition leader Chris Turney said more trees would be needed than earlier estimated but he was yet to work out how many.
Add a few more trees to the planting list, because now a U.S. Coast Guard ice breaking ship is headed to the area to try and free both the ship the global warming "scientists" were aboard, along with another one that was attempting a rescue.
The effort to stop the effect of global warming caused by this effort to study the effect of global warming continues…

I've been on seroquel 3 years, and have gained 42 pounds. I had SEVERE insomnia and strong waves of anxiety and the seroquel fixed it all. Well now i'm struggling with depression because only 3 years ago i had a 4 pack stomach, and now i have a tire around my stomach. I'm afraid to get off the seroquel for fear of the insomnia and anxiety returning. I have three questions:
1. If i keep taking the seroquel and add wellbutrin - can i lose the weight while still on the seroquel?
2. If i stop the seroquel and replace it with wellbutrin - can the wellbutrin help with my insomnia and anxiety?
3. I know with some drugs, the weight immediately starts coming off when you stop taking them. I've tried researching weight loss upon stopping seroquel but find nothing. Is there proven research that people who stop taking seroquel DO start losing the weight upon stopping?READ MORE

Bite of the Arts is the premier fundraising event for CJFCI held annually in November. Each year a different theme is chosen, highlighting Louisiana culture or one of the seven nations that formed Cajun/Creole Cuisine as we know today. Festivities begin with a cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvre, followed by a three-course dinner prepared by well-trained culinary students under the direction of a distinguished visiting chef. Special guest chefs and other key people in the food industry are also in attendance. All dishes are centered around the theme for that chosen year.
Dinner of the Century
On March 23rd, Chef John Folse & Company hosted the inaugural "Dinner of the Century" event with proceeds benefitting construction of the new culinary arts building at the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux. More than 300 guests and dignitaries were present including Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, La. Sen. Norby Chabert and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
The dinner, held at The Royal Sonesta Hotel, featured an elaborate menu reminiscent of a meal prepared at the White House, prior to the British invasion during the War of 1812. Featured delicacies ranged from escargot and oysters to venison, duck and lamb. The star-spangled roster of guest chefs, all of whom were past Lafcadio Hearn Hall of Honor awardees or Distinguished Visiting Chefs at the Institute, included Tory McPhail of Commander's Palace, Frank Brigtsen of Brigtsen's Restaurant, Chris Lusk of Restaurant R'evolution, Susan Spicer of Bayona, Brian Landry of Borgne (the John Besh Restaurant Group), Tenney Flynn of GW Fins, Stephen Stryjewski of Cochon, Slade and Allison Rushing of MiLa, Michael Gulotta of MoPho and David Harris of Chef John Folse & Company. Students from the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University participated in the event as ambassadors, servers and kitchen assistants demonstrating their culinary and service skills.
"This event marks the first of a series of historical dinners that will be recreated annually as a fundraiser for The Chef John Folse Culinary Institute," said Chef John Folse. "As the namesake of the Institute, I want not only to help raise the much needed funds to complete the construction of our first Institute building, but also to serve as liaison between the Institute, industry and the community at large." In 2013, the Institute broke ground on a new, state-of-the-art facility that will span 33,000 square feet. The new building is scheduled to open for Spring 2015 classes.
With the help of President James Madison and First Lady Dolley Madison (re-enactors from Montpelier in Virginia) as well as harpsichordist Dr. Carol Britt and 13-year-old musician James Linden Hogg, Folse took the attendees on a historical journey through 1814 that began with the story of the British burning the White House in August. The historic dinner also commemorated the 200th Anniversary of Francis Scott Key's poem, "Defense of Fort McHenry," that was later set to music and became the National Anthem now known as the "Star-Spangled Banner."
At the inaugural "Dinner of the Century," Nicholls State University and Delgado Community College signed a memorandum of understanding making it easier for culinary students to cross-enroll at Nicholls and Delgado, as well as to seamlessly transfer between both schools. The Chef John Folse Culinary Institute is the only public university in Louisiana to offer a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Culinary Arts. Since its inception in 1996, nearly 600 degrees have been awarded.
Lafcadio Hearn
Patrick Lafcadio Hearn was born in 1850 on the Ionian Island of Leucadia. At the age of 19, Hearn was sent to the United States in hopes that he could support himself. In November 1877, Hearn traveled to New Orleans aboard the steamboat, Thompson Dean, to write articles about Louisiana politics for publication in the Cincinnati Commercial newspaper. Upon spending time in New Orleans (and developing a passion for Creole food), he enjoyed it so much that he decided to move from Cincinnati to New Orleans and call it home. Believing there was money to be made in the restaurant business, Hearn lived in low-end apartments, cooked his own meals and hoarded the $100 needed for the initial investment.
Hearn started publishing cookbooks with his first one, "Gombo Zhebes," in 1885. Hearn's good friend and physician, Dr. Rudolph Matas and Matas' wife, provided much of the background material Hearn needed for the book. Mrs. Matas was extremely helpful in providing recipes for Hearn's "La Cuisine Creole," also published in 1885. Other culinary books by Hearn include "Creole Cook Book: A Literary and Culinary Adventure" and Creole Sketches."
Hearn was obviously enamored with the Creole city of New Orleans and found it imperative to document the history of the culture and cuisine of New Orleans and its evolution for future generations. Thus, he documented the fabulous Creole recipes of the day, and we at CJFCI at Nicholls State University follow the tradition by assuming his role in the 21st century.

Woman Fakes Breast Cancer To Raise Money For Implants
A woman in Texas successfully scammed a bunch of people into paying for her breast implants by, get this, faking breast cancer! Twenty-four-year-old Trista Joy Lathern told everyone she didn't have health insurance and needed money to pay for her breast cancer treatments. In August, 100 people showed up to her all-day fundraiser at Waco's Hog Creek Icehouse Saloon and donated an estimated $10,000. Trista used $6,800 of the donations to pay for a new set of boobs. According to the local sheriff's office, it was later discovered that Lathern never even had breast cancer. Lathern convinced everyone she had cancer — even her husband — and shaved her head to make it appear she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Investigators say her lie began to unravel when she showed up at a local plastic surgeon's office, asking for breast implants. The surgeon knew of her benefit and was immediately suspicious when she never mentioned her cancer to him. He passed the info to his attorney who called the local sheriff. When her husband discovered the truth, he filed for an annulment of their seven-month-old marriage and asked for custody of their two young sons.
Among the people scammed by Lathern was Diana Teichelman, who runs a cleaning service. She was moved to donate because her grandmother and sister both had breast cancer. When she found out she'd been duped, she told "The Today Show"'s Meredith Vieira: "I felt like somebody socked me in the gut, because my sister had breast cancer. I couldn't believe that anyone could do such a thing. My sister was lucky enough to have insurance. There's so many people that don't, and need help." She says she worries that people who are really in need will be hurt by Lathern's scam. "The ripple effect of this is going to be terrible. It's already showing," Teichelman told Vieira. "I've heard that people already don't want to donate to the benefits because they're not certain that they're real."
What do you think would be fair punishment for Lathern's crime? [via MSNBC]

Thecodingdude saidFair point! As I mentioned, the current terms, no one should have a fear for personal information being disclosed, since only the state and city are being released on invoices both for authors and buyers, but having the full address like on the Play Store… auch! I'd leave instantly.
You guys are worried about addresses but as I explained Google and the Play Store has already done this and yes, people were also worried and there was talk of getting a PO box instead of publishing their home addresses, I guess this is now a requirement and to be honest, if you don't want to share your address and it's a legal requirement for you to do so (such as the info DBtaker said) then you should reconsider whether it's worth you selling items, there's sadly a price to everything these days. Take it or leave it.
If it's a legal requirement that your address has to be provided I am guessing it's either a "provide it or stop your business here" situation. If we take a random app on the Google Play store such as this one, you'll see a field called "Developer" which as another scary part is contained in a class called "content physical-address" making it super easy to farm, your most private details are not so private anymore, welcome to the Internet and doing business online .

My only concern is about the address being filled. Considering that the address will be passed to tens of thousands of buyers that's quite the risk. As far as I know, addresses are allowed to be confidential. That's actually an international right. So, are addresses mandatory for authors?
Lol are you serious? Try telling that to Google and every developer on the play store. Get real and start living in the 21st century where your anonymity is attacked at every opportunity.
Hi guys – apologies if this has already been asked, but I wanted to know something. In the blog post, Collis mentioned "For European buyers, VAT may need to be added to the price of items sold by authors located both in and out of the EU." My question here is how on earth could this possibly be regulated? The very notion of a digital marketplace is that items are not physical and are just a series of bits and bytes, just like the authors here.
Unlike Google or Amazon, whom probably already know your name, address and other information, at no point am I required to disclose my country, and even if I am, it's very simple to fake it, I can have an IP address located in every continent on the planet in over 30 different countries, so I just don't understand how you know what "Europe" is when you're dealing with entities who just so happen to be people who are represented by nothing more than a username…I can even fake my country when it comes to payment processors. To be honest, it's about time Envato allows users to pay using Bitcoin, because I get the feeling this will only get more popular and allow people to buy things without being tracked as you are proposing for VAT purposes.

^ Something like this would have been better (Our humble opinion – we are not masters of illustration). Also with colors differentiating the status (keeping the badges clean) along with tool tip info description.Or else, simply the older one should be back. In all cases, the new badges are not professional
Still prefer the original, but if they are going to change the badges at least get their own designers on garphic river to come up with something, because you guys have done an awesome job. How about a competition where the public can vote and winner gets extra prize + featured items or something?

Guys there is a survey here: http://themeforest.net/community/badges
Maybe it will be more helpful if we fill it outCheers,
Maybe companies should start asking us about changes before deploying them? Not enough places do this and then they wonder why they get the reaction that they do.
"You should be aware that there are potentially serious consequences to filing DMCA notices, particularly inaccurate ones."
Lol, that's hilarious, considering there is literally no consequences to filing an incorrect DMCA, it's gotten so bad even robots are programmed to send DMCA requests and they are inaccurate beyond belief. the entire system is flawed and abused to censor content, or used to gain an unfair advantage on these marketplaces. And what can you do about it as an author? Nothing.

The hotel was very noisy with guests talking in the corridor, children playing in the corridor outside the room at midnight, furniture being moved in the room above. Also, the whole hotel was very very warm! Maybe not necessary to have a fire going when although the weather is a bit dreary, the temperature outside is not cold!
quiet and calm room rate was overrated as a standard of very cold in the room no heating, no all the dishes from the menu, good staff
I always stay at this hotel when in Ireland because it is clean friendly welcoming scenic and fun. The breakfast is fantastic and the owner and staff are too
Breakfast excellent, warm welcoming staff Showers could be better i.e. water flow/spray
staff friendly service good
I am answering this in relation to three bookings I made with you. The three bookings in Question are last four digits1575' 1o84 and 3661. Due to ill health not all of us were able to stay here but those of us who did were very pleased with the services the hotel provided and their breakfast was excellent - cooked to perfection. I would rec. this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in the area. We were all quite pleased.
Great quiet location right off a nice beach, rooms may face to ocean. Great breakfast(included) and meal options. Bar onsite was nice and relaxing. Ample parking. My room was quite drafty when the ocean winds blew hard... no so bad though. WIFI only available in lobby.
The homely atmosphere in the hotel and all staff were very helpful and approachable. None
restaurant was excellent; staff were very helpful and friendly
The very homely atmosphere togther with friendly staff, excellent food, extremely comfortable surroundings and lovely location.... the stairs....sqeeky floorboards...but not a problem
It's a warm, comfortable hotel with a nice ambience. Our electronic room key did not work. It was reissued but still did not open the door. Not a great first impression of the hotel. The facilities for dining are much too small when the hotel is busy. We couldn't get a table in the bar or dining room to have dinner, and nobody had advised us earlier that it might be a good idea to book a table. We had to leave the hotel and go elsewhere to dine.
ease of access to golf course,and availability of a good (not great) restaurant on-site poor temp control in room,door was difficult to open..does not fit prperly,aand in case of fire it would potentially be v.dangerous.Also the golf service was expensive and quite deplorable;it took 5.5 hours for 2 of us to play at $250 pp,yet no marshalling,and on our return to the club they were very dismissive of our complaint.Not a good experience at a "high end" course
Nicely finished room. Setting was nice. Tailored more towards Golf than regular guests
The buliding was very impressive in a beautiful location. Fantastic hotel for a luxury treat.
Absolute bliss, treated like royality.
The comfort of the rooms and in particular the bed and bathroom.The food was also very good. Having to move out of the hotel to go to the links cottages and marquee.
Out of this world. I will return. Great value for money too, surprisingly.
You can sleep like a baby in a wonderfull bed, eat like a queen....full irish breakfast and perhaps warm scones and coffee. And after if you dont like golfing you can walk on the wonderfull beach or visit Cliffs of Moher. The hotel has also a shop with everything from books to clothing. The most beautifull place i have visit in my life! Dinner in the Long Room could have been more creative and taste better.
Accomodation and facilities first class Food quality and lack of a nice bar to have a drink a major drawback given price and otherwise high standards
I really appreciated the warm,welcoming & attentive staff.The hotel is beautifully designed & in a superb location..We are not golfing people but had bracing walks on beach& enjoyed the blazing fire on our return. the air conditioning was a little annoying during the night but the staff were happy to assist.
The staff were extremely helpful and professional. The hotel is located right beside the beach so we were able to go for lovely walks and blow away the cobwebs! Our accomodation was located away from the main hotel - there was no mention of this fact in the description of the rooms on this website.
The Seashore was one of the highlights of my trip. Ballybunion can be a very busy little seaside resort, but the Seashore is located in a quieter section of town a few minutes away. The room was wonderful as was the breakfast the next morning. I think the estimate of this property as five minutes from the Ballybunion Golf Club is a bit low; however, it's certainly no more than ten minutes from the Club. Given the nighttime bustle in central Ballybunion, I did not mind the slightly longer drive.
Location was good overlooking the atlantic sea. Facilities good and value for money
Very comfortable relaxing & spotlessly clean guesthouse beautifully situated a few minutes from the golfcourse which you can see in the distance from your bedroom window. Excellent breakfast served and also valuable golfing tips received from the owner re playing Ballyb. No
beautiful location beautiful guesthouse no
great location for the beach, family run guesthouse with large rooms great value for money
Family owned - Hospitality, warm, inviting, great food! The family was incredibly helpful and kind.
The Broc family and the staff were all very gracious and friendly. The location to Ballybunion is the best above all other properties there. It is literally right outside the door - a 3 minute walk (if that!). And the quality of furnishings, construction, decorating and attention to detail throughout the property is incredible. Very well done!! We'll be back for sure!
It is literally across the street from the Ballybunion club house, maybe a 200 yard walk to either of the first tees for the Cashen course and the Old course. The driving range is in the front yard. The inn includes a fantastic restaurant. If you are going to golf, you never have to get in your car once you arrive. The Brocs are the most congenial hosts. I would recommend it highly.
the owners were very accomodating and personable. Price is a little high, but it is by in Europe and by Ballybunion, so I see why.
A wonderful hotel, great people. The restaurant is excellent. No
the convenience to the golf course at Ballybunion I did not have a top sheet for the bed. Did not really feel that the comforter on the bed was washed every time some one else booked the room. I would have liked a top sheet with a clean blanket instead of the comforter.
A very warm welcome from Aoifa and Seamus. Lovely room with huge bed, delicious breakfasts. Very close to Ballybunion golf club. I had chosen the hotel because they had a bistro restaurant but they shut it the day before we arrived. That was the only drawback. We would certainly stay there again.
The management and staff went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. The lounge needs to be aired as sometimes cooking odours filter in through the bar.
Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. They make it very easy to relax.
We were warmly welcomed by Aiofe Broc who checked us in and got us settled. Had a delicious dinner in the dining room and enjoyed some piano music in the lobby. Location was spectacular - right across the street from the golf club! Excellent WiFi service.
the warm welcome and the full irish breakfast no matter how late we slept on!
Very welcoming.Peaceful,quiet and comfortable. Shower took a long time to warm up and had no force.
The hostess is very friendly and accommodating. The home is lovely and the breakfast was wonderful.
Excellent staff (family of owners)! They are very nice and helpfull people. The room was not big, but very tidy and comfortable. Wonderful sea-view. Breakfast was very tasty! Tea-maker in the room was dirty and with old water in it. But it was the only negative think I noticed.
Wonderfully friendly and welcoming family run outfit. Attentive service and very homely lodgings. The breakfast was hearty and of decent quality. Our bed was very comfortable and we thus slept well. Close to the beach for walks if that's what you enjoy, very rugged countryside all around. you. Some aspects of the place are a little bit dated, but in a way that was part of the charm of it being a family run and rural lodge. Just don't go expecting mod cons. There isn't a great deal to do in Quilty, so a car is a must.

Phil Crawford
Chief Information Officer
Yard House USA Inc.
Phil Crawford has always had a passion for technology and leadership, but he never quite imagined a part-time college position at a hotel would blossom into a fledging career in the restaurant and hospitality industry. The attainment of Chief Information officer for Yard House Restaurants has been achieved through continual hard work, advancement in education and knowledge, and the die-hard drive for sustained perfection and self-gratification.
Phil's first interest in technology started at an early age, when his parents first introduced him to the first generation of Apple II and Commodore 64 computers. Being intrigued by the vast possibilities of the devices, he quickly became inspired at an early age to write basic organizational programs for his mom and dad. It was the tinkering with software programming at an early age that fostered his passion for technology, which eventually drove him to expand his educational knowledgebase and career in the field.
Phil continues today to use his skills and knowledge obtained through the years to foster growth, both for Yard House and in his personal life. A firm believer that technology is a key component to not only a business's success but more importantly society's success, he continues to innovate and use his "outside the box" methodology to create new technologies.

Lawyers are gearing up for litigation stemming from the News International phone hacking allegations.
Yesterday (9 July) The Guardian revealed that Rupert Murdoch's empire News International had paid out more than £1m to settle legal cases that threatened to reveal phone hacking and other illegal action taken by its journalists.
The article has encouraged a number of celebrities and politicians to turn to lawyers seeking advice on potential legal action.
Teacher Stern Selby partner Graham Shear has assembled a team including Hugh Tomlinson QC of Matrix Chambers and David Sherborne of 5 Raymond Buildings to deal with inquiries from those affected by the allegations.
TV presenter Vanessa Feltz is among the celebrities seeking advice by Shear's team.
Shear told The Lawyer: "I have been contacted by a number of clients from the film and TV, sports and political world. There are quite a high number of clients that we are working with on this. At the moment we are investigating how our clients have been affected."
"I've been involved in a number of cases over the last five or six years where clients have been suspicious about members of the press have been able to obtain information. This an ongoing issue."
The allegations against News International raise serious questions about privacy laws and reporting techniques.
Matthew Nicklin of 5 Raymond Buildings said: "It's not yet clear what legal action will be taken. It does raise very serious questions about privacy laws and data protection. Depending on the detail The Guardian has there is potential for class action in the future."
Meanwhile, Schillings partner Gideon Benaim told The Lawyer: "We have been warning our clients about these kind of tactics for some time now. The government needs to regulate the press and look closely at the reporting methods used, particularly by the tabloid press.
"The PCC is carrying out an investigation but it's important that there is a completely independent investigation into this."

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9), also known as Monokine induced by gamma interferon (MIG), is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. The function of this chemokine has not been specifically defined; however, it is thought to be involved in T cell trafficking. CXCL9/MIG functions as one of the three ligands of chemokine receptor CXCR3 which is a G protein-coupled receptor found predominantly on T cells. CXCL9/MIG, together with CXCL10 and CXCL11, may activate CXCR3 by binding to it. CXCL9 serves as a cytokine that affects the growth, movement, or activation state of cells that participate in immune and inflammatory response. It has been observed that tumour endothelial cells secrete high levels of CXCL9 in all, and CXCL10 in most melanoma metastases. Experiment data represent novel mechanisms by which tumour cells in melanoma metastases might use the chemokine-expressing endothelium to leave the tumour and eventually to form additional metastases at distinct sites. Experiment results also improved that CXCL9/MIG plays an important role in CD4+ T lymphocyte recruitment and development of CAV, MOMA-2+ macrophages are the predominant recipient-derived source of CXCL9/MIG, and recipient CD4 lymphocytes are necessary for sustained CXCL9/MIG production and CAV development in this model. Neutralization of the chemokine CXCL9/MIG may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of chronic rejection after heart transplantation.

Without question the Sieve Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I is the
most glorious painting in the Folger art
collection. Its visual splendor, iconographic significance and powerful capturing
of a charismatic subject guarantee it center stage in our upcoming spring exhibit,
which commemorates the 400th anniversary
of Elizabeth's reign (1558-1603). One reason for emphasizing the Sieve
Portrait in this space (see also page 36) is that the portrait has an Amherst
connection, bequeathed to us by Francis T. P. Plimpton '50 and received
at the library in 1997. The Folger conservators sent out the portrait for professional
cleaning so that years of varnish could be stripped away and the portrait's
details revealed in their full splendor. In addition, they commissioned a new,
period-appropriate frame.
Painted in 1579 when Elizabeth was 46, the three-quarters-length portrait depicts
the queen in what seems to me a somber or reflective mood. Her skin is pale
(as usual in her portraits), her face showing little emotion, with her head
turned to the viewer's right. The painting's visual splendor comes
from the vivid play of red, white and black—the red of Elizabeth's
hair, picked up in the rich red velvet of her lavishly bejeweled gown, playing
against the delicate tracery of the veil that falls from her jeweled headdress
and against the flat black background in which a shadowy globe is visible.
The painting's informal title comes from the golden sieve the queen holds—somewhat
awkwardly—against the folds of her skirt.
The painting has long been a personal favorite of mine because I found in the
sieve an illustrative argument about
the iconography of female bodies that I described in my 1993 book, The Body
Embarrassed. There I argued that the sieve—known to allude to the myth
of the Roman vestal virgin Tuccia, who miraculously carried water in a sieve
from the Tiber to the Temple of Vesta—is a paradoxical symbol of Elizabeth's
virginity. Full of holes, the sieve refers unmistakably to the symbolically
leaky, hence unreliable nature of ordinary women's bodies even as it
asserts, through its link to Tuccia, the queen's transcendence as virgin
monarch of ordinary women. For Elizabeth in her capacity as ruler, the sieve
is an emblem not of leakiness but of discernment, of the good judgment requisite
in rulers.
The Sieve Portrait is a fitting centerpiece for the Folger's Great Hall
exhibition. Entitled "Elizabeth I: Then and Now," the exhibit opened
to the public on March 21 and will run through August 2. Because of the Folger's
rich holdings in Elizabeth materials (the richest in North America), we are
able to present a vivid documentary overview of this remarkable woman's
accomplishments and career. The exhibit features several letters in the queen's
own hand, including one in French to Henri IV and another to her cousin (and
successor) King James of Scotland. There is a letter to her from Robert Dudley,
earl of Leicester, one of her two great favorites, and a contemporary account
of the trial of her other
favorite, the ill-fated Robert Devereux, earl of Essex. Because she called
Dudley "her eyes," he affectionately inserts tiny eyebrows over
words with double "o's" into his letters and tiny eyes before
his signature.
Other materials are less private, though no less fascinating, and reveal Elizabethan
culture's almost obsessive fascination with its monarch—and the
fascination she has attracted ever since. The Folger owns Queen Elizabeth's
own pulpit Bible, her royal seals and a number of royal proclamations. Books
in our collection include engravings in which the queen is depicted hunting,
picnicking with her court, or on royal progress through the countryside. But
because we are interested in tracking her symbolic afterlife as well, the exhibition
will close with contemporary images and artifacts about Queen Elizabeth, including
a Queen Elizabeth Barbie doll, complete with ruff and bright red hair, still
ensconced in her original box. The exhibition will be open to view during the
height of Washington's tourist season, and we hope that members of the
Amherst community will find an opportunity to see for themselves. The Sieve
Portrait and other images from the exhibition can be viewed on the Folger

The village is 50km north-east of N'Djamena and the journey takes more than two hours on a simple dirt track.
Omar still has lots of family members here, and tries to visit regularly.
Times are hard in the village. It is the dry season in Chad, and villagers have to cope with dust storms and temperatures that regularly top 45C. Everyone is hoping the rains will arrive soon.

In Marvin v. Marvin (1976) 18 Cal.3d 660, 666 [134 Cal. Rptr. 815, 557 P.2d 106], Michelle brought an action against Lee, alleging the parties had lived together for six years and had agreed he would support her for life. The trial court granted judgment on the pleadings for defendant.
The Supreme Court reversed, holding the complaint stated a cause of action for breach of an express contract. It stated: "[W]e base our opinion on the principle that adults who voluntarily live together and engage in sexual relations are nonetheless as competent as any other persons to contract respecting their earnings and property rights.... So long as the agreement does not rest upon illicit meretricious consideration, the parties may order their economic affairs as they choose, ..." (Marvin, supra, 18 Cal.3d at p. 674, italics added.)
At what point in time did the Marvin claim for palimony and equitable division of the property acquired while they were together need to be in writing? Is it too late to do it now

When you're chartering a jet for business purposes or just for a group of people make it a fun experience. When renting a private aircraft you don't have to worry about someone falling asleep on your shoulder, or that one little kid throwing stuff at you. When renting a private jet see where your destination is, usually with private jets you can go straight to an airport instead of going to the closet commercial airport. Then you will want to decide how big a jet you will need for your trip, do you want to fly nine people of fifty people. Find out what extra extras you would like to have on your private jet, if you want a big screen televisions or satellites, look into which ones you would want for you and your guest.
Those who are responsible for chartering private jets for an employer or organization must make several considerations before committing to services. These include determining the amenities and features that will be most important to those who will travel in the jet. Some parties place a higher priority on privacy and having the ideal amenities than they do on receiving ample amounts of personalized attention during the flight to an airport. Many charter corporations pride themselves on being able to offer one on one attention to their guests. This may not be the ideal service feature for those parties who wish merely to travel in luxury, while indulging in the accommodations that have been provided in relative privacy. By listing the amenities that will be most desirable to the travelers that you are making arrangements for, you will be best equipped for seeking out the charter companies that cater specifically to the needs and desires of such individuals.
Some individuals seem to think that private jets are only for rockstars, but that's clearly not the case. Each and every day, corporations are cropping up that specialize in providing private jets for special occasions. While you may not want to sell your bus pass quite yet, you'll find that private jets are no longer the impossibly expensive luxury that they once were. Speaking specifically, private jets are becoming a rather popular option for honeymooning to an airport --and when you think about it, it makes a whole lot of sense. Cramming yourself into an over-crowded coach seat is not going to provide you with that warm, romantic feeling. In fact, it's probably going to make your honeymoon seem like a normal vacation--and that's no way to treat your special day. By chartering a private jet, you can get away from all of the crowds and all of the noise and really enjoy some quality time with your chosen partner.
In spite of the fact that hiring a private jet plane can cost thousands of dollars, there are many advantages that come with it. First, when chartering a private jet to an airport, the clients have complete control over the time and date he wish to depart since there are a ton of charter companies that offers their services 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. In addition, there is no need to wait for several hours at an airport anymore because there is no check-in time, and it is not necessary to go through security. Another advantage of renting a private jet is the luxury and comfort that comes with it. You even have the freedom to choose the food that you desire and even the cabin members! However, it is highly recommended to opt for a trusted charter company.

Meantime, web comments cross Planet X off reality list
1) Nibiru (Planet X) doesn't exist, but the cranks who believe it does exist won't accept this and keep predicting dates for its appearance. First it was going to pass by the Earth in May 2003. Then it was supposed to become visible from Australia on 15th May 2009. Then it was supposed to be visible in 2010 and now May 2011. It keeps failing to appear, but the cranks will never come out and say "OK, it doesn't exist" they'll just keep on putting back the date of its appearance.
2) If Nibiru did exist, and was going to hit us in a little over a year, it would be visible with a naked eye.
3) And it is really, really tough to hide a planet, not only from the professionals, but the legions of amateurs as well (world wide). The equipment these days is way too good.
Where's Waldo?
Planet Nibiru's 3600 year orbit (uh-hem)
The 3600 year long orbit of Nibiru (Planet X) brings it between Mars and Jupiter. It's due to come closest to the sun in May 2011.
I find it rather hard to tell it all with a straight face.
