The Texas Woman's University Foundation has received a $416,000 gift from the estate of longtime Denton resident Celia Jamison Sankey.
The unrestricted gift from the TWU alumna will be used by the foundation in its mission to support the university.
Mrs. Sankey, who passed away Feb. 8, 2008, received her bachelor's degree in art from the Texas State College for Women (now TWU) in 1941. She taught art at the university for several years until her retirement.
Mrs. Sankey had left her entire estate to her brother and sister-in-law, Alonzo W. Jamison Jr. and Elizabeth Jamison of Denton. The trust provided that in the event the Jamisons did not survive her, the estate would be divided between Mrs. Sankey's church and the TWU Foundation. The Jamisons decided to disclaim their interest under the trust and distribute the money to the church and the foundation.
"We wanted to follow her wishes and honor her gift to TWU," said Mr. Jamison, a former Texas State Representative and former professor and chairman of the government department at TWU. Mrs. Jamison, a 1943 art graduate from TWU, and her husband are members of the university's Old Main Society and Chancellor's Circle. Both also are longtime supporters of the university and the TWU Foundation.

Texas Woman's University recently received a $593,520 grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) program. The grant, which is distributed over a four-year period, will be used to fund scholarships to TWU undergraduate students majoring in the STEM fields.
This fall TWU awarded the first S-STEM scholarships of $5,000-$10,000 to Sheba John, a biochemistry senior from Carrollton; Rae Lynn McFarlin, a mathematics and chemistry junior from Bonham; Nenna Nzeocha, a biology sophomore from Houston; Cameron Perry, a chemistry senior from Houston; Sarah Prewitt, a biology and mathematics senior from Garland; and Katie Schniebs, a mathematics junior from Springtown.
According to Dr. DiAnna Hynds, the program's director and TWU assistant professor of biology, the goal of the TWU S-STEM program is to attract students from diverse backgrounds to the STEM fields.
"We want to prepare these students to be successful in their careers, thus meeting the state's need for skilled professionals in math, science and technology," she said.
Another goal of the TWU S-STEM program is to introduce TWU students and prospects to careers at the forefront of STEM, such as the developing TWU computational biology program. Adopting the motto "rewarding outstanding scholars – combining pioneering fields," the TWU S-STEM program is a joint effort involving faculty in the departments of biology and mathematics and computer science.
Dr. Hynds and her fellow S-STEM program co-directors Dr. Brian W. Beck (biology), Dr. Junalyn Navarra-Madsen (mathematics and computer science) and Dr. Marie-Anne Demuynck (mathematics and computer science) administer the program and mentor the S-STEM students to ensure they meet their academic goals. The group meets periodically to discuss classes, research projects and other issues to facilitate a successful academic experience for the students.

Report on Hate Violence Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and HIV-Affected Communities Released
To download the full report please visit NCAVP online.
- 2011 Report shows a 16% decrease in hate violence incidents but an 11% increase in the number of murders
- 30 murders of LGBTQ and HIV-affected people documented; the highest yearly total ever recorded
- Among those reporting, transgender women, people of color, and youth and young adults faced the most severe hate violence
NATIONAL-The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP), in a national audio press conference May 31, 2012, released its report Hate Violence Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and HIV-Affected Communities in the United States in 2011. NCAVP collected data concerning hate violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and HIV-affected (LGBTQH) people, from 16 anti-violence programs in 16 states across the country including: Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Vermont.
- In 2011, NCAVP documented 30 anti-LGBTQH murders, the highest yearly total ever recorded by the coalition. This is an 11% increase from the 27 people murdered in 2010. This high murder rate continues a multi-year trend of increases in anti-LGBTQH murders over the past three years of reporting.
- 87% of the 30 reported hate murder victims in 2011 were LGBTQH people of color. For a second year in a row, this reflects a disproportionate targeting of people of color for severe and deadly violence and is an increase over 2010 where 70% of the 27 reported hate murder victims were LGBTQH people of color.
- Transgender women made up 40% of the 30 reported hate murders in 2011, while representing only 10% of total hate violence survivors and victims. This was comparable to last year's report where transgender women made up 44% of the 27 reported hate murders, reflecting a two-year trend toward disproportanate and severe violence faced by transgender women.
- Youth and young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 years old were 2.41 times as likely to experience physical violence compared to LGBTQH people age 30 and older.
"Murders of LGBTQ people have increased over the last three years, indicating a pattern of escalating violence against LGBTQ and HIV-affected people," said Jake Finney from the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Community Center in Los Angeles, California. "Those most at risk for murder are transgender and gender non-conforming people, people of color, and gay men." This year's report also includes narratives that tell the story of each of these 30 murder victims, real human stories to accompany these alarming statistics. One of those stories is that of DeeDee Pearson, a transgender woman of color who was murdered in Kansas City, Missouri last year. "I knew Dee Dee since she was really young. Dee Dee was a beautiful, warm, and loving spirit. She was shot six times on Christmas Eve by a man who said he was mad that she was transgender," said Paige Dior, a friend of Dee Dee and herself a survivor of antitransgender violence. "Losing Dee Dee was devastating."
NCAVP documented a 16% decrease in hate violence incidents from 2010 to 2011 but an 11% increase in murder. This year many NCAVP members saw a decline in reports of violence linked to a corresponding increase in murders. "In Detroit, an increase in the severity of violence and particularly murders made it challenging for us to find the capacity to do outreach which can lead to a decrease in reports," said Nusrat Ventimiglia at Equality Michigan. This increase in murders consumed a great deal of organizational capacity. "NCAVP members across the country have spent a tremendous amount of time and resources responding to murders and the tragic, ongoing suicides of our LGBTQ youth," said Rebecca Waggoner from OutFront Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The 2011 report also highlights a number of disturbing trends concerning the severity of violence experienced by LGBTQH people. This year's report shows that LGBTQH youth and young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 years old were 2.41 times as likely to experience physical violence compared to LGBTQH people age 30 and older. As in the case of the murder statistics, transgender people and people of color were more likely to experience physical injury in a hate violence incident. The report found that transgender people were 28% as likely to experience physical violence compared to non-transgender people, and that LGBTQ people of color were two times as likely to experience
physical violence compared to those who were not LGBTQ people of color.
"NCAVP's findings are a call to policymakers, advocates, and community members that the prevention of violence against LGBTQ and HIV-affected individuals needs to be a priority," said Chai Jindasurat, NCAVP Coordinator at the New York City Anti-Violence Project. "Our recommendations and best practices provide specific solutions for addressing and ending violence against LGBTQ and HIV-affected people in this country. We call on policymakers, advocates, and community members to be a part of these solutions if we want to see anti-LGBTQH murder and severe violence decrease."
The report's specific policy recommendations include calling for the following changes:
- Increase funding for LGBTQH anti-violence support and prevention.
- End police profiling and police violence against LGBTQH communities.
- End the root causes of anti-LGBTQH violence by reducing poverty against LGBTQH communities and systemic homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic discrimination in laws, policies, employment, public services, and education.
- End the homophobic, transphobic, and biphobic culture that fuels hate violence.
- Collect data and expand research on LGBTQH communities particularly data and research on LGBTQH communities' experiences of violence.
NCAVP works to prevent, respond to, and end all forms of violence against and within lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and HIV-affected (LGBTQH) communities. NCAVP is a national coalition of 41 local member programs (including the Anti-Violence Program of OutFront Minnesota Community Services) and affiliate organizations in 21 states, Canada, and Washington DC, who create systemic and social change. We strive to increase power, safety, and resources through data analysis, policy advocacy, education, and technical assistance.

They tried for months. Petitions, e-mails, phone calls, videos, personal pleas, all with a simple message aimed at drug giant Bristol-Myers Squibb: "Help Save Darcy."
Darcy Doherty was a 48-year-old Toronto businessman and father of three who was dying of melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Bristol-Myers had actually kept Mr. Doherty alive for a good part of the past four years: It included him in a trial for a new drug it was developing in 2007, just after doctors discovered that his cancer had spread and he had only a few months to live.
The drug, now on the market as Yervoy, proved effective and Mr. Doherty thrived. But he stopped responding at the end of 2011.
Still, there was still hope. Bristol-Myers had started early testing of a new version of Yervoy called BMS-936558, and it also looked promising. If Mr. Doherty could get into those trials, maybe he would get a few more years. But he was medically disqualified because the cancer had spread to his brain, and companies prefer not to enroll test subjects who may become gravely ill or die before the study is complete.
Mr. Doherty's family asked Bristol-Myers: Give him the drug anyway. We'll take our chances. We'll sign off on all liability. We'll try anything. The company said no. It was too early in development. Too risky, even for someone who was dying.
So Mr. Doherty's wife, Rebecca Cumming, went public. She organized petitions, sent e-mails, contacted journalists and posted videos online. The company had an ethical obligation to help Mr. Doherty, she argued. The message resonated and within weeks nearly 200,000 people signed an online petition. E-mails flooded inboxes at Bristol-Myers. Mr. Doherty's story was featured in newspapers and on television across the country.
Bristol-Myers held firm. While the drug had shown potential in early testing, "we believe there is not enough information on its use in humans at any given dose to allow use outside of a well-controlled clinical trial at this time," company spokeswoman Monica Flores said.
Mr. Doherty died on Tuesday.
"We always remained hopeful that [Bristol-Myers] would change its mind and Darcy would have another miracle," Ms. Cumming said in a statement. "Sadly, that did not happen."
The sad case has given new urgency to a long-standing, gut-wrenching debate: What obligation, if any, do drug companies have to terminally ill people? Should they help very sick individuals even if that could jeopardize clinical trials and delay the introduction of a drug? What about the testing process over all? Why does it take more than a decade and as much as $1-billion to bring a new drug to market? And should these questions be left in the hands of drug companies in the first place?
This case "is sort of illustrative of the tension that arises during drug development," said David Hogg, an oncologist at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital specializing in melanoma, who treated Mr. Doherty. "We all want things to go really fast and we all want things to be very safe." But sometimes you can't do both.
"I don't think it's an issue that's ever going to be resolved completely," Dr. Hogg said, "because the objectives of pharmaceutical companies and the objectives of an individual patient are not congruent."
It's an age-old problem – how to balance the rigour and rationality of scientific advancement with the all-too-human emotion of compassion. Must we look beyond saving one life now for the greater good of society in the future? Scientists, drug companies, advocates, governments and ethicists have been seeking that balance for more than a century, to the earliest attempts to control the proliferation of new drugs.
Some of the first drug-control measures were adopted by British officials in the mid-1800s after a series of deaths caused by questionable pills and potions. In one case, a drug maker accidentally substituted arsenic for sulphate of lime in peppermint lozenges, killing 400 people. Canada and the United States followed suit in the early 1900s, also in response to deadly outbreaks of contaminated food and medicine.
Even then, though, there was no formal approval process for new drugs. That came in the late 1930s after S.E. Massengill Co., a Tennessee-based drug maker, created a new liquid version of a popular medicine for strep throat. The company used diethylene glycol as a solvent, not understanding it was toxic. When it hit the market in 1937, 108 people died. The chemist who came up with the lethal formula used the medicine as well – to kill himself.
After that, U.S. and Canadian officials began requiring drug companies to seek government approval for new products. Even bigger changes came in the 1960s, after another tragedy – thalidomide. What looked like a safe, effective medication for morning sickness in pregnancy proved, as it took researchers years to discover, to cause severe birth defects. The public outcry led to an overhaul of the drug-testing process around the world and created a regulatory system that is still used today in most developed countries.Report Typo/Error

Edgewood Chamber Director Elise Bergan says Edgewood Livestock Commission owner Jerry Maker, who used to work with the Clydesdales many years ago, delivered the big news on Wednesday.

And they'll need a lot of volunteers to make it all happen.
And Rodeo t-shirts are coming in this week…
Bergan says ticket prices for the Edgewood Rodeo will remain the same as last year and should be available by the end of May.

The most common symbol for Protestant churches of every variety is the cross. Most Protestant churches have a cross in the front of the sanctuary. For Protestants, the cross symbolizes the centrality of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the fullest revelation of God to humanity. Most Protestant crosses are not crucifixes; that is, they do not have the body of Jesus portrayed. They are empty crosses, emphasizing the resurrection and the completed work of Christ.
Other than the cross, Protestant churches have a wide spectrum of artistic representation. Some, like many Lutheran and Anglican churches, have more similarities to Roman Catholic churches because they developed historically with a more relaxed attitude toward Roman Catholic symbolism. Queen Elizabeth I's "settlement" created a via media, a middle way between Calvinist theology and Catholic forms, thus leaving intact some of the outward signs and expressions of faith and worship. Luther's principle that only those practices forbidden by scripture had to be changed led Lutherans to hold on to more of the traditional Catholic practice and aesthetics than other reformers. Thus these churches may have artistic representations of great heroes of the faith or scenes from scripture in stained glass, bas-reliefs, tapestries, etc.
Zwingli, however, made every effort to model worship on the practices of the early Church as found in the Bible, and thus tried to abolish any practice not prescribed by scripture. The result for symbolism in Reformed churches has been significant. Reformed Churches are far more likely to be stripped bare. There are few, if any, images or statues. Typically, Reformed sanctuaries have a simple bare cross and any decorations often take the form of simple geometrical patterns.
Luther did not discontinue the wearing of vestments by clergy. In fact, he himself often wore his monk's robes to worship. In Calvin's Geneva, however, clergy adopted the practice of wearing black robes rather than vestments. These robes were associated with university professors, a "secular" calling, rather than with Roman priests. At stake was what the clothes symbolized. The Reformed church believed that the vestments carried over the idea that priests were a special class of Christians, against the Protestant principle of the priesthood of all believers. Reformed ministers in particular prided themselves on being scholars. (Many Protestant denominations still require their ministers to study Greek and Hebrew so that they can read the Bible in its original languages.)
Marie Dentière, a well-known advocate of Reform in France and wife of a prominent Reformed preacher near Geneva, once criticized Calvin for wearing academic robes, pointing out that if he took the priesthood of all believers with complete seriousness he would adopt more common street clothes for preaching. This line of thought persisted, so that today, few Protestant ministers other than Anglicans or Lutherans wear any kind of special robe; some wear dress clothes (suits/ties; or dresses, if women are accepted as leaders), while others dress very casually.

Draper • Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Pete Ashdown and Scott Howell technically debated each other Wednesday. But their real target was incumbent Sen. Orrin Hatch.
"We have a senator who has been there 36 years and is out of touch with the state," Ashdown said.
Howell quoted Hatch, R-Utah, from 1976 when he ran against 18-year incumbent Sen. Frank Moss, D-Utah, and said, "What do you call a senator who's been in office for more than two terms? You call him home." Howell added, "The question is who can beat Orrin Hatch?"
The debate was the first between two Democratic U.S. Senate candidates in 20 years because in recent years the party usually has been able to recruit only one candidate. This year, three are running: Ashdown, Howell and Bill Peterson, who said he was told he was not invited by the Democratic Women of Utah because he had not participated in county conventions.
Howell said the field attracted more Democrats this year because "this is a race where we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take back the Senate seat," because of perceived weaknesses by Hatch.
Both Democrats debating have run against Hatch previously. Ashdown, founder of Internet provider Xmission, was the Democratic nominee against Hatch in 2006. Howell, former minority leader in the state Senate, was the nominee in 2000.
Howell said he could beat Hatch this time by showing he can work with Republicans, earn their trust and convince them to have better balance with a Republican and a Democratic senator. Ashdown said he can win by being bold and different, "instead of being Republican light."
Howell said he was elected to the state Senate by beating a four-term GOP incumbent in a Republican area. He said he was then gerrymandered into an even more Republican district and faced a local church leader but won again. "People in Utah will vote for an individual they trust," he said. He added he has won three state Senate races, while Ashdown has never held office.
Ashdown said Utahns admire how he has run Xmission, which would help him even if they turn out in big numbers for Mitt Romney. "It's not me running against Mitt Romney … It's me running on my own."
Ashdown pledged to draw more contrast between himself and Hatch by refusing any money from political action committees contending that Hatch is too beholden to monied interests. "Senator Hatch has raised almost $8 million in his race, and less than 1 percent has come from small individual donation. I'm asking for 100 percent of that in my race" to come from individuals.
Howell said that would be tilting at windmills. While he said no PACs have offered him money yet, "In order to be competitive, we have to have money to do it. ... We need to do it and play this game in order so we have a new U.S. senator."
Many attending Wednesday were delegates to the state Democratic Convention next week. If Howell, Ashdown or Peterson achieve 60 percent of delegate votes, they become the party nominee; otherwise, the top two face off in a primary election on June 26.

2013 Las Vegas: Austin Dillon NASCAR Nationwide Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Mar 06, 2013 - 06:24 AM
2013 Las Vegas: Austin Dillon NASCAR Nationwide Race Preview
This Week's AdvoCare Chevrolet at Las Vegas Motor Speedway ... Austin Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 102 in the Las Vegas 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is the same Chevrolet Dillon drove to victory lane at both NASCAR Nationwide Series events at Kentucky Speedway in 2012, starting from the pole position in both events. He also raced this Chevrolet to a fifth-place finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, a sixth-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway in July, a sixth-place finish at Dover International Speedway in June, a fifth-place finish at Darlington Raceway in May, a fifth-place finish at Texas Motor Speedway in April and a seventh-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March.
Winner, Winner ... In Dillon's lone Nationwide Series appearance at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, he posted a seventh-place finish after starting third in the March 2012 edition of the race. He has two starts at the 1.5-mile oval in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with one pole award and one race win to his credit (September 2010). In his 2011 Camping World Truck Series appearance at the track, Dillon started second and battled back from a lap-three accident to finish 17th.
Vegas Roots ... Crew chief Danny Stockman's first job within the sport was as a mechanic with Las Vegas-based Orleans Racing at the age of 19. Now 30 years old, the crew chief has celebrated a Camping World Truck Series championship with Dillon at RCR along with two Camping World Truck Series championships as a truck chief for Ron Hornaday Jr. at Kevin Harvick Inc. The Dillon-Stockman duo earned the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year honors, along with two wins and a series-leading 27 top-10 finishes last year. In addition to Stockman's Vegas roots, car chief Robert Stramiska previously worked for Orleans Racing and is a native of the West Coast, hailing from Manteca, Calif.
Spark your Engines ... Dillon and the RCR team will sport the colors of award-winning premier health and wellness company AdvoCare on the No. 3 Chevrolet at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. AdvoCare offers nutrition, weight loss, energy and sports performance products of the highest quality developed through comprehensive research and backed by a Scientific and Medical Advisory Board. Dillon trains with AdvoCare products throughout the week and is a distributor as well. For more information about Dillon's favorite products, including Spark, Rehydrate, meal replacement bars and Post-Workout Recovery, visit http://www.AdvoCare.com.
AdvoCare Supporting the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma ... If Dillon wins this weekend's Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, AdvoCare will make a $5,000 donation to the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. The health and wellness company will pledge $2,000 to CIPT for a top-five finish and $1,000 for a top-10 finish. The Childress Institute invests resources in research, education and awareness to improve the treatment for critically injured children in the U.S. and AdvoCare's generous donations are aimed at helping to raise awareness for pediatric trauma, the No. 1 killer of children in America. You can help save the lives of injured children by making a contribution to the Childress Institute in two ways: donate $33 in honor of Dillon via his website, or text WIN to 80077 to make a $10 donation.
Double Duty ... In addition to driving the No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet this weekend, Dillon is racing the No. 51 TAG Heuer Eyewear Chevrolet SS for Phoenix Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The Kobalt Tools 400 is live on FOX on Sunday, March 10 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.
What do you think about the new NASCAR Nationwide Series Camaro so far?
"So far, I love the Camaro. It looks a lot more like the car I have in my garage and that is the coolest part. The Camaro has a little bit of a different feel out on the race track, but not much. I think the overall balance is a little better. The car we have this year is faster."
What do you think about Las Vegas Motor Speedway?
"I've had a lot of success at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I won there in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series my rookie year, so it's a track that means a lot to me. I've also had some disappointment at Vegas. We wrecked on the first lap in the Truck Series before. I remember we battled a tight-handling condition during the NASCAR Nationwide Series race here last year and finished in the top-10. I think that was one of my first mile-and-a-half races in the Nationwide Series. We've learned a lot since then as a team and we are coming to this race with the same car we won both Kentucky races with last year so my goal is a win this weekend."

text: Hi, I've been taking ocuvite for a week now and just checked out drug interactions and found, if I'm reading correctly, that most drugs for high b/p may not do well with this vitamin. Is this true? I take Diovan, Toprol, and Hydrochlorothiazide. My eye has been affected too with my having a bad case of facial shingles last year that has cause ongoing nerve related problems with the eye and some dryness and scratchiness, etc. I'm currently seeing a couple of eye specialists and also use eye drops daily for treatment of these conditions. I plan to ask the eye doctor in one week, at my visit about this vitamin, but really had to check it out for myself first. Anyone have any info on this. Thanks.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, SHK 7.0653. Friday, 13 September 1996.
Date: Wednesday, 11 Sep 1996 21:12:51 -0700
Subject: Branagh's Hamlet
Skimming through a list of fall and early-winter movie openings, I found the
names of Billy Crystal and Robin Williams in the cast of Branagh's Hamlet.
Perhaps this is old news.
But I must confess I literally howled when I read it. At any rate, I reserve
judgment. Does anyone know the actual roles they'll be playing? (I could see
Robin Williams as the grave-digger...) I hope it won't turn out like Keanu
Reeves and Michael Keaton in Much Ado. However, I was heartened to find
Charlton Heston in the cast too. That should be interesting. But no Thompson.

Suspensions won't hinder California police force
California borough police Chief Rick Encapera said Sunday his department will not be shorthanded despite two full-time officers serving one-month suspensions.
California council on Thursday suspended officers Justin Schultz and Terry Childs without pay after the two returned an unmarked vehicle to Washington, Pa., May 3 during a Friday night shift.
Their action left the borough with just one available officer. The trip was not authorized, Encapera said.
While Schultz and Childs were away, a fight erupted outside Sigz Bistro on Second Street.
That incident required outside assistance. Police from Centerville, Charleroi Regional, Donora and East Bethlehem responded, Encapera said. At least three people were cited in the brawl, he added.
Encapera said that although the borough is down to three full-time officers and about 10 part-timers, he was able to fill Childs' and Schultz's shifts – which total 480 hours.
"The other guys are stepping up," he said. "I talked to the officers yesterday, and they were all penciled in for the shifts."
It was not clear if the suspended officers will face further disciplinary action.
Mayor Casey Durdines did not return a phone message seeking comment Sunday. Councilman Phil Difilippo said he had "nothing to add" about the situation.
According to WPXI, news partner of The Valley Independent, outraged students and business owners packed a council meeting Thursday night when the suspensions were imposed.
Residents accused Schultz and Childs of unprofessional conduct and using excessive force, according to WPXI.
"That's what everyone is alleging, but I have not yet gotten any formal complaints against either officer," Encapera said. "I have not seen anything in writing."
While Encapera declined to say whether he thought the suspensions were fair or unfair, he said the officers were guilty of "bad timing" and "poor discretion" for leaving on a shift that's ripe for alcohol-related incidents.
Sigz Bistro is one of several businesses bordering the California University of Pennsylvania campus.
"It's a spring weekend and only a couple more weeks before school was out, and the weather was nice," Encapera said of May 3. "There were other times in the schedule that those guys could have returned the vehicle … They picked the wrong time."

Romney schooled Obama. He made Obama look weak, small, and childlike. Obama was listless and uninspiring. He could not look Romney in the eye, and worst of all, could not muster the confidence or energy to defend his own record.

Worse, an empty chair without the benefit of a TelePrompter.

Whitechapel, 1888. Inspector Abberline investigates the Jack the Ripper case, detecting a vast conspiracy behind the murders. As the bodies pile up, he grows closer to Mary Kelly, a prostitute who seems fated to be the Ripper's final victim.
Adapting the panoramic Alan Moore-Eddy Campbell comic, the Hughes Brothers present a far-fetched 'solution' to the Jack the Ripper case that allows a dissection of the corruption behind the phrase, 'Victorian values'.
The film's cavernous Whitechapel is a teeming, threatening environment even before the Ripper begins systematic elimination of the canonical victims, with cringing whores - played at full throttle by the likes of Katrin Cartlidge and Susan Lynch - in as much danger from bullyboy gangstas as an imported toff psychopath.
Because the story is oft-told (nearly qualifying the film as a remake of 1978's Murder By Decree), From Hell runs the risk of following an elaborate set-up with a blown punchline, and the script can't quite sell its Jack as at once a purposeful assassin and a mad killer.
However, it's always fun to see Masonic conspiracies exposed, and a range of squirmingly superior British acting talent (Ian Holm, Ian Richardson, Paul Rhys) perfectly embodies double-dyed arrogance and sadistic delight in extreme surgery. Ruled over by a 'cold-eyed' queen, this world sees the poor only as specimens, its attitudes symptomised not only by eviscerated drabs but an exhibited Elephant Man and lobotomies performed as theatre.
The murders take place behind the Ripper's Dracula cloak, with telling, hallucinatory, gruesome details (a torn-out heart boiled in a kettle). Cinematographer Peter Deming (the master of unease who shot Mulholland Dr.) has his camera prowl gloomy alleys as sinister carriages pass and red blood seems splashed over painted London skies. Depp and Graham have peculiar characterisations (visionary junkie cop, feminist trollop), but opening and closing with its copper in an opium den allows for a reading of the film as a delirious nightmare distantly based on historical fact.
A rare, clever, horror film.


text: My goals with the surgeon, was to achieve a natural look, work in lower pole and create one in the right breast whose crease was about an inch higher and pretty hideous. Since the surgery, my right breast is a miracle. However, in my left breast, I can see about an inch above my crease, what appears to be a shadow/outline. my nipples are even and my breasts in general are about as perfect as you could ask for given their initial asymmetry, but what is going on here?

Trading Ubuntu Futures
Moving forward, Canonical expects to keep the silly names for its operating system, including the next Hardy Heron release. We asked Shuttleworth why a man who glues wombats together insists on these animal names. "I don't think I said Gutsy Gibbon once," he said, during the conference call. Apparently, other Ubuntu team members asked the Shuttled One to stick with the proper Version tracking.
Shuttleworth, however, will continue using the code-names, especially when talking to the developers. They enjoy the monikers, and the names provide a simple way of distinguishing between versions.
Canonical also hopes to keep attracting more OEMs to its operating system. The company has, in particular, been talking up its goal of pulling more server vendors into the fold.
Sun Microsystems signed on ages ago as an Ubuntu supporter, although we've heard little about this project in recent months.
Starting Oct 29, the Ubuntu Developer Summit kicks off near Boston. It will be a Gutsy affair.
Shuttleworth expects future Summits to be scattered around the globe, but suggested that Asia will see more than its fair share of conferences due to budding interest in the OS there.
Those of you wanting to hear how the Ubuntu development process works should tune in to our recent interview with Shuttleworth. No wombats were harmed during the recording of the program. ®

Techniques and Methods 11–C8
National Wildlife Refuges may have impaired water quality resulting from historic and current land uses, upstream sources, and aerial pollutant deposition. National Wildlife Refuge staff have limited time available to identify and evaluate potential water quality issues. As a result, water quality–related issues may not be resolved until a problem has already arisen. The National Wildlife Refuge System Water Quality Information System (WQIS) is a relational database developed for use by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff to identify existing water quality issues on refuges in the United States. The WQIS database relies on a geospatial overlay analysis of data layers for ownership, streams and water quality. The WQIS provides summary statistics of 303(d) impaired waters and total maximum daily loads for the National Wildlife Refuge System at the national, regional, and refuge level. The WQIS allows U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff to be proactive in addressing water quality issues by identifying and understanding the current extent and nature of 303(d) impaired waters and subsequent total maximum daily loads. Water quality data are updated bi-annually, making it necessary to refresh the WQIS to maintain up-to-date information. This manual outlines the steps necessary to update the data and reports in the WQIS.

The interesting part of the film is that Shivannas father, legendary actor Dr. Rajkumar, had heard the story penned by Janardhana Maharishi, but did not get the chance to act in the big screen adaptation of the same. The story rights are presently with M.B. Babu, who is co-producing the film with Kamalakar. Naganna directs the film which also casts Harish Raj, Dodanna and Shashikumar in important roles.

Garry McDonald and Ruth Cracknell in the
comedy classic Mother and Son
Photo: Supplied
IT IS just 49 years since TV began in Australia, but some parts of the industry already are celebrating, with Channel Nine the latest to get into the anniversary spirit with its Sunday night special, 50 Years, 50 Shows. This was a countdown of the 50 best Australian TV shows of all time, as selected by a panel of industry experts, from number 50 to number one. The winner was Graham Kennedy's In Melbourne Tonight.
Given the outpouring of grief only a few months ago after Kennedy passed away, I am not surprised that IMT won. Kennedy undoubtedly was the greatest showman, the most versatile personality and the biggest celebrity Australian TV has produced. If Nine was to countdown TV's greatest stars from 50 to one, Kennedy would have to be the winner.
IMT was a terrific show but it was hardly the best or the most original thing that our TV industry has produced since 1956, and I found the inclusion of The Don Lane Show in the top 10 even more puzzling. I disagreed with most of the rankings in the top 50, and especially the top 10.
In case you missed Sunday night's show, these are the 10 programs selected as the best ever produced by the Australian television industry.
1. In Melbourne Tonight/Graham Kennedy Show
2. The Paul Hogan Show
3. Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony
4. The Mavis Bramston Show
5. Brides of Christ
6. Kath & Kim
7. The Don Lane Show
8. 60 Minutes
9. Number 96
10. The Sullivans
All of them were, or in some cases are, good television shows. All deserve to be in the top 50 and most warrant inclusion in the top 25. But I would put only one of them in my top 10, which I list here in no particular order. That is director Ken Cameron's Brides of Christ, the ABC's landmark drama series about young novices in a convent. It starred Brenda Fricker, Josephine Byrnes, Sandy Gore, a very young Naomi Watts and even Russell Crowe.
My top 10, however, would include another ABC drama series of a similar vintage, Phoenix, starring Simon Westaway and Sean Scully. This 26-part story of the work of the major crimes unit in the Victoria Police was grittier and much more realistic than anything we had seen before, such as Homicide and Division 4, and set the mood for later shows such as Stingers, The Feds and Wildside.
In comedy, I would put Mother and Son before Kath & Kim. I enjoyed the first two series of Kath & Kim - it became too repetitive and obvious after that - but writer Geoffrey Atherden sustained Mother and Son right to the end, managing to make us laugh out loud while dealing respectfully with the delicate issues of ageing and dementia. Ruth Cracknell's performance as Maggie Beare was outstanding.
In ratings terms, 60 Minutes remains the most successful example of the current affairs genre in local TV history. But I would have This Day Tonight in the top 10 instead, if only to acknowledge its originality (60 Minutes is produced here under licence from the American CBS Network) and, on so many occasions, its ability to set the news agenda for the following day. The nightly ABC program, with Bill Peach, Gerald Stone, Peter Luck and Mike Willesee, among many others, was the first to mix serious reporting and news analysis with satire, and it set a standard that many others still try to match.
My top 10 also would include the ABC's Adventure Island, perhaps the most lavish children's program of all time. Over more than 1100 episodes in the late 1960s and early 1970s, hosts Nancy Cato and Sue Donovan, with Liz Harris, John Michael Howson (he was Clown) and the late Colin McEwan (Fester Fumble) charmed Australian children with a daily pantomime from the kingdom of Diddley-Dum-Diddley.
Instead of the spectacular, but one-off, opening ceremony at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, I would include in the top 10 two other examples of sports TV. The first was Seven's World of Sport. It was blokey and often resembled a footy club pie night, but for decades tapped our weekend passion for sport better than anything before or since. And Nine's coverage of cricket deserves a mention because it not only changed the way we watch cricket on TV, but changed the game itself, here and around the world.
In terms of miniseries, two stand out. The Dismissal was our finest. Screened by Network Ten eight years after governor-general Sir John Kerr dismissed the Whitlam government, it was Australia's answer to All The President's Men, turning an important news event into a tautly written, brilliantly executed and suspenseful drama. And the ABC's Blue Murder, a dramatised account of corruption in the NSW police force, was raw and real.
Finally, longevity dictates that Hey, Hey, It's Saturday is elevated over IMT - and others - into my top 10. Like World of Sport, I still miss it. It was two hours a week of televised pandemonium, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again.
Of course, it's all subjective. Some would say, for example, that leaving Neighbours out of any top 10 is sacrilege, given its 20 years on air and its status as the most successful Australian TV export. But it's not my cup of tea, and that's that. Give me a repeat of Brides of Christ any day.

Graphite Man
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Graphite Man is an early 90's superhero, with the unique property of being entirely made of graphite, one of the allotropes of carbon. It became one of the most successful radio comics in history.
edit Powers
Graphite Man, consisting of only graphite, also shares the property of the substance.
edit Malleability
Graphite Man can easily bend himself into shapes, due to the carbon atoms joined in sheets held weakly together by van der Waals forces. This allows him to fit in air vents, through fences and underneath doors.
edit Conductor of electricity
With a delocalised electron, Graphite Man can conduct electricity through himself to defeat enemies.
edit Superlubricity
Superlubricity is the most recently acquired power, where Graphite Man can travel over certain surfaces with almost no friction. It is more effective when travelling on graphite-based surfaces.
edit Graphite Poisoning Attack
Just coming into contact with Graphite Man will cause what can only be described as "Graphite Poisoning". At the atomic level, the graphite goes through the skin and causes abnormal cell function. As with common knowledge, graphite is one of the most poisonous substances on Earth. It can also cause birth defects in children with prolonged exposure during pregnancy.
edit Nemesiseseses
edit Dr Rubber (Known as Dr Eraser in the American version)
Dr Rubber is Graphite Man's major foe throughout the series. He takes advantage of the weak bonds between the sheets of carbon atoms and lifts them away.
In The End Of Graphite Man, Dr Rubber had almost completely rubbed Graphite Man from existence. However, to destroy Graphite Man, Dr Rubber had to sacrifice much of his own body and nearly destroyed himself.
edit Graphite Man Clone
In the acclaimed 1992 comic, Graphite Man Actually Dies This Time, an evil clone of Graphite Man wreaks havoc on the city. While also consisting of graphite, it noticeably comes in thinner, often 0.5mm leads.
Graphite Man Clone is revealed as a creation of Dr Rubber, programmed to defeat Graphite Man without having to sacrifice itself.
Graphite Man Clone, as a result of recent cost-cutting measures, soon realised the damage caused by his actions. He then decided to not cause any more problems by self destructing in a pool of lava.
edit Love Interest
edit Sharpener
Sharpener has the ability to hurt enemies with her powerful blade. She has since retired as a superhero and now is Graphite Man's hairdresser.

Fans of Doctor Who star David Tennant have been told they can't ask him to sign anything to do with the sci-fi show while he's appearing in a play.
Tennant is starring in Hamlet, and the play's organisers said people were bringing so much Doctor Who stuff to be signed that something had to be done.
So from now on only programmes and other Hamlet merchandise can be signed at the stage door.
The play is being put on by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford.
But it's not just David Tennant who's attracting unwanted attention from sci-fi fans.
His co-star is Patrick Stewart, who appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation a few years ago.
His fans have also been told not to bring anything sci-fi-related to the theatre.

Lewiston, Ida. | Connor Halliday tossed two touchdown passes in Washington State's first scrimmage of preseason camp Sunday afternoon.
The Cougars worked through 70-plus plays in front of a couple hundred fans. The offense tallied five touchdowns in addition to a 20-yard field goal from senior Andrew Furney while the defense tallied five sacks, led my junior linebacker Ivan McClennan's two.
Halliday went 13-of-19 for 117 yards and threw touchdown passes of five yards and 34 yards while redshirt-sophomore Austin Apodaca completed 9-of-14 passes for 87 yards including a 25-yard touchdown. Freshman Tyler Bruggman made the most of his first live series of camp, going 4-for-5 for 87 yards including a 62-yard scoring strike to senior wideout Vincent Mayle. Fellow freshmen Luke Falk went 6-of-9 for 39 yards and Connor Ennis completed 4-for-6 for 21 yards.
Freshman running back Gerard Wicks made a scrimmage-high five catches while sophomore wideout Brett Bartolone totaled four catches for 40 yards including a touchdown. Freshmen wideout River Cracraft, redshirt-sophomore wideout Dominique Williams and Mayle each caught touchdowns. Freshmen running back Jamal Morrow led all rushers with three carries for 17 yards.
The offense got things going early as Apodaca led the second team offense, in the day's first series, down the field before he showed some nice touch, dropping a pass over the shoulder and into the hands of Dominique Williams in the left corner of the end zone for a 25-yard score. Halliday and the first team offense then took the field for the first time and he capped the 60-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown pass to Bartolone. The offense then worked through a red zone series and the defense held tough, as senior linebacker Justin Sagote made huge stop at the goaline to keep redshirt-sophomore running back Jeremiah Laufasa from scoring. The defense forced the offense to bring on Furney who nailed a 20-yarder.
A couple series later, Bruggman took over and turned in the highlight of the day as he found Mayle deep down the field for a 62-yard touchdown. Falk and Ennis each operated series for the Cougars before giving way to Halliday and Apodaca who each led one more series.
Apodaca's final series was capped by Laufasa's four-yard touchdown plunch and Halliday capped his day with another scoring drive, hitting Cracraft in stride in traffic who made his way to the sideline and snuck over the goalline for a 25-yard score.
WSU will have Monday off before resuming preseason practice Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Rodgers Field and Martin Stadium.

There was a report in the People on Sunday from Alan Oliver, the former Chronicle sports reporter, that Clement Grenier has indeed been talking to Newcastle United about a potential move to the Magpies, and this is in line with the news a couple of days ago that Newcastle were indeed back in for the talented 23 year-old 3 times capped French International, who is in the 23 man French squad for the World Cup; in Brazil next month.
Clement Grenier – talking to Newcastle
Sources in France told People Sport the following:
"Like Cabaye, Grenier can play right-midfield, as an attacking midfielder and in the hole." "He has been talking to the Newcastle lads at the French World Cup training camp, and he is keen to go to St James' Park."
"But his agent will demand wages that he feels are appropriate for a player who is going to Brazil."
It looks like our three Frenchmen at the World Cup – Debuchy, Sissoko and Remy (and maybe Yohan too?) are helping to get Grenier to Newcastle, and that's always good to hear.
Wages will be the challenge for Newcastle, and we need to offer the young play-maker a decent wage to move to Newcastle, and this lad is such a promising player, we think he would be a great acquisition for the club.
And with close to £80M (it's 60M to £100M depending essentially on the position in the Premier League) every May, our revenues will increase quite significantly.
And the £79.5M we got earlier this month is close to £40M more than we received from the PL last year, and that's due to the massively increased money being paid out by TV for the Premier League games over the next three years.
Newcastle should be able to increase the wage bill significantly, while keeping the wages at a constant percentage of revenues., and that's going to be an advantage that all Premier League clubs will have over their rivals – massive TV money every year.
It seems like Newcastle still have work to go to get Grenier, but this is promising news.
We hope it's all true.
Comments welcome.

NEW YORK — The story of a patent attorney who risked it all to follow his passion evolved into an inspirational deliciously powerful wellness elixir called Jin+Ja has won the Specialty Food Association's first-ever advertising contest. The contest enabled specialty food professionals to tell a compelling story about their passion for specialty food.
The winning entry is Jin+Ja: The Spark of Inspiration from Reuben Canada of Canada Enterprises in Philadelphia, PA . This is Jin+Ja's second honor this summer. The wellness elixir won the Association's 2013 sofi™ Award for Outstanding Cold Beverage. The prize in the ad contest is a free ad campaign and three-day trip to San Francisco, a $15,000 value. The ad will be featured in top specialty food trade magazines, online, and at the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, Jan. 19 – 21, 2014.
"Winning the sofi award was a huge validation from an esteemed body of experts and specialty food professionals. 'My story, my ad' was different. It was the commitment of a dedicated group of supporters who appreciated what Jin+Ja 'is' and their desire for it to be shared far and wide. Jin+Ja is a beacon for the new world to rally around, where compromise between good for you and taste good is a relic of the past. The same evolved thinking that created Jin+Ja, the first 'Wellness Elixir' of the 21st century, will soon be applied across a variety of segments," expressed Reuben Canada CEO of Canada Enterprises, Creator of Jin+Ja and soft Award winner for Outstanding Cold Beverage.
More than 70,000 votes were cast in the not-for-profit trade association's "My Story, My Ad" contest to determine the Top 10 finalists. They were selected from 373 inspiring stories about family businesses, culinary breakthroughs, childhood memories, career changes, and more.
The contest is part of the Association's launch of its new brand: Specialty Food. Craft. Care. Joy. It is designed to highlight the people behind the small businesses that fuel the $86 billion specialty food industry and the innovative foods and beverages they create and bring to market.
"The contest struck a chord," says Ann Daw, president of the Specialty Food Association. "There are clearly so many wonderful stories to share about the joy and passion and hard work that go into making great food. Both Jin+Ja and Awesome Bars especially stood out for our panel."
This week a panel of advertising and marketing professionals met at the Specialty Food Association's offices in New York to evaluate the Top 10 entries and selected a winner.
The judges were Amy Binder, CEO, RF Binder; Beth Snyder Bulik, reporter, Ad Age and co-owner, Park Street Pantry; Terry Frishman, principal, Creative Marketing Workshops; Tracy Nieporent, director of marketing & partner, The Myriad Restaurant Group; Denise Purcell, editor, Specialty Food Media; and Rick Roth, founder and CEO, Roth Partners.
