"I like to read an actual book," he said. "You know when we had that storm? We didn't have electricity for about two weeks. So we read a lot." Chris Dorst "My father turned in his chair and said, ... Chris Dorst ... 'We never had a Winowich who went to college.' ... Chris Dorst ... I got my message." Courtesy photo Drafted in 1943, Nick Winowich went to Fort Knox, Ky., for basic training. Courtesy photo This photo dates back to the late 1940s when Nick Winowich vacationed at Watoga State Park. Courtesy photo In this 1962 photo from the archives of Charleston Newspapers, Kanawha County Public Library chief Nick Winowich examines film for a library program. Courtesy photo Naturally, books form a backdrop for this picture of Nick Winowich during his reign as head of the Kanawha County Public Library. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On Oct. 6, he turns 90. Last April, he had open-heart surgery -- five bypasses. But Nick Winowich remains as animated and cheerful as ever. That engaging, signature smile hasn't faltered.A Pittsburgh native and a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, he directed the Kanawha County Public Library for 30 years, added seven branches and satellite school libraries, and monitored the transition from card catalogues to computers, among other accomplishments.A dedicated track and field official and devoted community volunteer, he held top positions in state and regional library organizations, the Job Corps and Sunrise, and worked for years with Manna Meals and Covenant House. He still volunteers every Tuesday at CAMC Memorial Hospital.Letters on his license plate reflect his first and abiding love: BOOKS. He should write one. A newspaper column can't hold all the colorful anecdotes about his life. "I grew up in Pittsburgh, a first-generation American. My father immigrated from Serbia, or Yugoslavia, in 1914 and my mother in 1920. In 1927, they became U.S. citizens."The first three years of my life, my only language was Serbian. About age 4, I hit the streets where I met other first-generation Americans and we learned English that way."Almost every Saturday, they had a children's story hour at the library branch. I would always be there. I loved story hours and books. I read a lot of cowboy books."I ran track in school. My Serbian-Russian-Ukrainian friends would have killed me on a football field. At basketball and baseball, I was a turkey. So I ran track and earned a letter."My dad started off as a coal miner and became a laborer in the steel mill. We had money. Life was relatively inexpensive then. For example, I couldn't get a job after high school, but managed to hook up with a magazine subscription firm. I would clear $35 to $40 a week, big money. I gave this money to my mother and she would always cry."There was a giant apartment building. I went in and met a young, attractive woman, and she called about 18 or 19 friends, and they all bought subscriptions. I was rich!"On Monday morning, on the chalk board was a message: 'Winowich, come see me. The manager.' I thought he was going to pat me on the back. Instead, he said, 'What the hell were you doing in that cathouse?'"Then I got drafted into the Army. I got to England shortly after D-Day. About the middle of August, I hit Normandy. It was still a mess. I was a corporal by then. I went over as a replacement, a radio operator and gunner. I had that keyboard right on my thigh. They decided I made a better radio operator than gunner, so I became exclusively a radio operator. "I was in Bastogne with the 4th Army Division, Third Army. We broke the German lines and entered Bastogne and chased the guys away. We met guys from the 101st Airborne and also units of the 9th and 10th Armored Division. They don't get any recognition for being there. We were all hugging. Twenty minutes later, they said, 'Hey, Mack, you better watch your ass or you will get shot.'"I was never so miserable in my life than in Bastogne. I was cold, scared, hungry and thirsty and had no sleep. I was glad to get the hell out of there. "About 10 years ago, Natalie and I took an Elderhostel trip on the waterways of Holland and Belgium. When we got to Bruges in Belgium, I looked at the map and saw that Bastogne wasn't far away."I went to City Hall. I told a young woman who spoke English that I had been there during the Battle of the Bulge. She asked for my name and address. She said that for everyone who fought in Bastogne and returned, they were going to plant a tree in their honor, and my name and address would be on the bronze plaque on that tree. We haven't been able to go back, but I assume it was done."We liberated the Ohrdruf concentration camp in Germany. Cadavers were stacked maybe 15 feet high and a couple hundred yards long. I had photographs of all that. It was horrible."We almost killed the survivors with kindness. We gave them the GI food in cans and cardboard boxes. The division commander said anyone caught feeding them would be court-martialed. They had to have a special diet. All you saw was a bag of dirty, stinking clothes on a skeleton. "A friend who spoke German was talking to a gentleman, the burgermeister, or mayor. I asked the burgermeister, 'Were you aware of this? Did you see any signs of it?' He said no, no to everything. The next day, my friend called me over and told me the mayor had committed suicide."I had a conversation with General Patton. We were down at Alsace-Lorraine chasing the guys on the other side. A siren started going off. Here comes this Jeep. I saluted and said, 'Good morning, General.' He said, 'Good morning, soldier.' That qualifies as a conversation, doesn't it? "When the war ended, I was in Czechoslovakia. When I got home, my parents threw a big party. The next day at dinner, my father said to everyone, 'What do you think Nicky should do now that he has his honorable Army discharge?' They all said something. My father turned in his chair and said, 'We never had a Winowich who went to college.' I got my message."I went to the second semester at Bethany on the GI Bill. I couldn't get a job in the spring, so I went to Pitt and took some summer classes. I did that again the next year. I had enough credits that transferred that I graduated in '49 after entering in '46."I majored in history and education. I was going to be a teacher. I would have been a damn good teacher. But after student teaching, I decided I didn't want that."A college librarian recruited me. He said I should go to Carnegie, that it was accredited by the American Library Association. I got married and went to graduate school and got my master's in 1950."I spent two years at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, then went to the library in McKeesport, Pa., and stayed four years."When my cataloger was ill, I cataloged. When my children's librarian was absent, I did children's library work. When the custodian was ill, I had to be the custodian. In the winter, I had to shovel coal in that furnace."Then I got a call from a man at the Kanawha County Library saying he was leaving and would like to recommend me. I flew down. I think the round-trip fare was $75."The library was where Huntington Banks is now. So the library board and I built a new library in St. Albans, Dunbar and a couple of other places. We got some federal money and money from the building we sold, so it didn't cost the county a dime."That drive-in window was the first one in the United States. The first couple of years, a lot of people thought we were part of Charleston National Bank, and they would drive in wanting to make deposits."When I came, we still had the card catalog. Computers were introduced in 1967, I think, through a grant. They were damn slow compared to today."We added another elevator and invited kids from all over the county to come in. For some, it was the first elevator ride they ever had. I hope they turned out to be library users."There were challenges. The TV station wanted me to have a debate with Mayor Copenhaver about 'Peyton Place.' Some people tried to get it banned, but Mary Lee Settle and Jim Lewis and a host of other people rose up in defense of the library."I retired after exactly 30 years. The first week at home was really boring, so I became a volunteer with Manna Meals and Covenant House. Then I moved over to Charleston Memorial. I still volunteer there every Tuesday."My first wife, Ruth Fleming, died of brain cancer in 1977. My kids said I should become a track and field official to keep busy. So I did that. Natalie got into it. Each of us has a master rating."We've been to Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New Orleans. We officiated in two Olympic trials. I called it a career this year."I had perfect health until the Wednesday before Easter when I had five bypasses and spent about two weeks in the hospital."I went in the hospital at 173. As of yesterday, I am 159. I'm also a diabetic and have been for 15 years. The lower weight is good for my blood sugar. I feel great."If I had it all to do over again, I would do it just exactly the way it turned out. If I ever come back, I'm going to teach medieval history. Will you sign up for my class?"Reach Sandy Wells at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5173.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, Feb. 16) Tiro Tres Farms voluntarily recalled more than 114 tons of spinach — the bulk of it destined for the processed market — in December after a sample tested positive for E. coli O157:H7.
The fresh portion had been recalled by Avon Heights Mushrooms, Avondale, Pa., in a Dec. 23 notice. The company voluntarily pulled Krisp Pak 10-ounce bags, Better Brand 10-ounce bags and Avon Heights 4-2.5 pound bags with use-by dates of Dec. 16.
One package of Better Brand 10-ounce spinach tested positive for E. coli in random sampling.
No illnesses were reported.
The larger action by Eagle Pass, Texas-based Tiro Tres never appeared on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recall list.
"It appears as if Tiro Tres Farms did not issue a release because it would not have been beneficial to the public," FDA spokesman Sebastian Cianci said. "This was bulk product supplied to processors, not directly to consumers."
All product had passed its shelf life when the test results were received, Cianci said. Tiro Tres sent a recall notice on 228,360 pounds to its customers the same day (Dec. 23). None still had the spinach.
The product, cut-leaf curly spinach, was distributed in 30-pound totes in Colorado; Kentucky; Massachusetts; Pennsylvania; and Ontario and Quebec, Canada.
According to a Feb. 8 FDA enforcement report, the spinach was grown by Jimmy Crawford Farms in Uvalde, Texas, and harvested in late November.
The only label was a sticker identifying container numbers linked to the harvest date and field. The numbers were 11-21 2011; 11-22 2011; 11-23 2011; 11-25 2011; 11-28 2011; and 11-29 2011. The stickers also displayed the phrase "Tiro Tres Farms Roberts S1."

Still improving, Medlen looks to decrease walk totals
ATLANTA -- Kris Medlen certainly had reason to be encouraged after limiting the Dodgers to two hits and one unearned run in seven innings of Saturday night's 3-1 win at Turner Field. But the Braves right-hander was frustrated that he issued three walks.
"That adds more pitches to my pitch count," Medlen said. "I could have gone eight [innings] and handed the ball off to Craig [Kimbrel]. It's just frustrating. But the good news is I don't feel as good as I should. I felt good last night, but my delivery didn't feel as consistent I want it to."
Medlen has struggled to find comfort while battling mechanical issues that started to become a problem during Spring Training. His competitive nature and determination has helped him record a respectable 3.02 ERA through his first nine starts. But he certainly has not been the same as he was when he posted a 0.97 ERA in the 12 starts he made last year.
"I think I set the bar pretty high for others," Medlen said. "But I also feel like I set the bar pretty high for myself. I want to be what I was last year every single time out. I'm not necessarily there yet. But I hope everything starts clicking and I can get back to just being more consistent with walks. I'd rather give up a line drive off the wall rather than walk guys."
The 22 walks Medlen has issued in his first 56 2/3 innings this year is one shy of the total he issued in 138 innings last year. During the 83 2/3 innings he threw as a starter last year, he issued only 10 walks, drawing comparisons to Greg Maddux, who was a master of pinpoint control.
Medlen has provided some signs of encouragement while working at least seven innings in three of his four starts this month. His worst start during this span came when he surrendered three home runs and issued five walks in only 5 1/3 innings against the Giants last weekend.
Consistently missing up in the zone during that outing, Medlen was frustrated by the fact he had felt so comfortable just five days earlier in Cincinnati. After showing better command in Saturday's outing against the Dodgers, he is simply looking to find more consistency through the remainder of this season.
"I just need to clean it up a little bit," Medlen said.

I agree that the Pacers aren't desperate to get rid of Tinsley. I feel some teams misjudged Bird on this issue, and I praise Bird for sticking to his plan of not buying out Tinsley. Wow, did I just say that about Bird!
Acapulco Joe's... haven't been there in years to eat. The one down by Greenwood went out of business. I don't know if their food wasn't as good as downtown's, poor location, or what.
Supposedly Bird said there is a deal on the table for Denver to accept or reject. He mentioned talking further with Denver's FO this week. I think Bird is as anxious as all of us to move forward without Tinsley. Bird HAS TO stick to his guns. He knows that teams have genuine interest in Tinsley, but are just trying to take advantage of the situation. TPTB decided what they would accept for Tinsley and have the time to wait. We have already set our roster for the year, there is no rush to get rid of him at this point. Not until the deadline approaches.

Police chief says anti-gay behavior by officers not tolerated, says such behavior by investigator is unlikely
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer
BALCH SPRINGS — Balch Springs Police Chief Ed Morris said an investigation into the death of a gay man in his city is ongoing. Answering charges of homophobia in his department lodged by the dead man's family, Morris said that he doesn't tolerate that sort of behavior in his officers.
The body of Rodney Johnson was found in his trailer in Balch Springs on Nov. 12.
Morris said that there was no sign of foul play in Johnson's death but that his department is awaiting test results from the Dallas County medical examiner before proceeding with an investigation. Those results take about three months to return.
Johnson's sister Duby Redburn said that the officer she spoke to snickered and said, "I don't know what sort of lifestyle he led," when describing what he found.
"He was very insensitive," Redburn said of the detective's behavior.
Morris made it clear he wouldn't tolerate that sort of behavior from his officers.
"I don't think any of my officers would make an anti-gay comment," he said.
He said that if he thought that any officer was guilty of that sort of behavior, that officer would be in his office immediately and he would take care of it. But Morris said he would especially surprised if he heard it about the specific officer Redburn accused.
Johnson did not show up for work at his job as a security guard at a Bank of America branch on Thursday, Nov. 10. His supervisor became worried when she couldn't reach him by phone, so she drove to his home. When he didn't answer the door, she called police.
The supervisor and Johnson's family have said police never responded to the call.
But Morris said department records indicate that Johnson's supervisor's call to police was logged at 2:41 p.m. on Nov. 11, and that a patrol car was dispatched to Johnson's address at 2:49 p.m. He said that was reasonable response time for that sort of non-emergency "welfare check" call.
Police arrived at 3:03 p.m. at the location, Morris said.
The officer responding to the call reported that there was no odor coming from the trailer.
He asked neighbors about Johnson's car that was parked in an odd position. Neighbors said it had been there for several days.
Morris said they searched records to see if there were additional calls from the supervisor's phone number but could not find any, although the supervisor said she had called both 911 and the department's direct line phone number.
A police department spokesman initially told Dallas Voice there was no record of either call.
Johnson's body was found the next day when his brother, Roger Johnson, got a call from Rodney's boyfriend in Canada, worried that he hadn't heard from him. Roger Johnson used his key to the trailer to enter, and found his brother lying on the floor, face down.
Roger Johnson had said his brother's body was lying in a pool of blood.
The call record indicates police were dispatched in 30 seconds and arrived in minutes.
Morris said he didn't recall seeing any blood on the floor in the police pictures taken before Johnson was transported by helicopter to the hospital. But he said the body showed signs of lividity, meaning the blood had settled to the lower part of the body, which indicated he had been lying on the floor for some time before he was found.
Other issues remain unresolved, such as an unauthorized attempt to access Johnson's bank account the week after his death. But since the original article appeared in
Dallas Voice on Dec. 23, Redburn has been in touch with city officials and has been assured the case is still open.
Last year, Balch Springs had no homicides.
"The crime rate's been down for the last few years," Morris said. "We want to keep it that way."
But he said that if there is an indication from the medical examiner that Johnson's death was caused by anything other than natural causes, "We will actively investigate."

- 12% of adults cycles regularly (i.e. at least once a week), with 6% cycling most days. Males are much more likely to cycle regularly than females (16% male, 8% female). Regular cycling is closely related to age:18% of 15-24 year olds are regular cyclists, declining to 2% among those aged 75+.
- Rates of cycling most days are much higher among those who read broadsheet newspapers (12%), people who have received higher education (10%) and those who shop at Waitrose (11%).
- 42% of all adults think that "cycling is a great activity to do as a family"
- However 39% of all adults think "It is too dangerous to ride a bicycle on the road", rising to almost 50% among those with a household income of under £25,000
- 10% think cyclists are a nuisance – but this rises to 14% among those who think "it's too dangerous to ride a bicycle on the road".
- Only 2% say that "the success of British cyclists at the Olympics/Tour de France has inspired me to take up cycling".
- The main motivation for cycling, or being interested in cycling, is fitness (41%), followed by fun (31%), cycling on holiday (27%), environment (22%) and saving money (18%). But saving money is far more important among those aged 15-24 (30%).

WITH THREE consecutive high school state titles under their belts, most of the players on the Branson School volleyball team have been there before and know what it takes to finish on top.
Even three out of the four freshmen on this year's squad got to experience a state title run or two, or three, having older sisters who played at Branson in prior years. The girls will be looking to lock down one of their own when Branson tries for its fourth Division V state championship in a row against Southern California's Tri-City Christian of Vista on Saturday at 10 a.m. The match, set for Concordia University in Irvine, will be streamed live on the Web at www.marinij.com.
"When you get new players on the team, sometimes they don't get it, but because three of the four freshmen have watched it two, three years in a row, they've kind of experienced it too," Branson coach Michelle Brazil said. "It's a really unique situation because although they weren't on the team at that point, they definitely saw the excitement and I'm sure have wanted to be in that position too."
Freshmen Gigi Alper and Carrie Wentzel had sisters play on the last three state finals teams, Lauren Alper and Meghan Wentzel. Carrie has another sister, Kristy, who played on the first championship squad. Maddy Schoenberger's sister, Alex, played on two state championship Branson teams.
"It's been really exciting, Branson's like a family," Gigi Alper said. "It was an easy transition, most of the girls on the team are friends with my sister and it's fun to get be a part of the success. I've never been on a team this dedicated and this driven to reach their goals. It's really rewarding to go from watching to being on the team."
"I got to watch my two older sisters, I came to all the games and now it's really exciting that I'm now a part of the team," Carrie Wentzel said. "It's a privilege to get to follow in their footsteps."
Although Grace Roberts-Burbank hasn't had an older sister play at Branson before her, she has the skill set of a veteran player. The freshman had 10 kills in the NorCal final against Woodside Priory — second most on the team.
"She has a lot of poise especially for a freshman, they probably were expecting to camp out on our outsides a little bit and that's the great thing about this team," Brazil said after the match with Priory. "You expect to camp out on someone and someone else is ready to step up. It's such a great thing to see, people peaking at the right time and playing fearlessly."
Part of the reason for the team's success, as Roberts-Burbank noted, is the way they prepare in practice and training themselves to react a certain way in high-pressure situations.
"She puts a lot of emphasis on our mental toughness and that's very helpful considering the situation we're in now," said Roberts-Burbank of Brazil's coaching style during practices. "The drills are very stressful at times."
"Every drill, every single thing we do in practice is geared to how we play in a game," added Carrie. "Every time we step on the court it becomes natural to us. The main thing that she taught us is to not worry about the match or the game, but just play every single point like it's your last."
The jump from playing against girls at the middle-school and club levels to playing at the varsity level is huge. But Brazil has made sure that even the youngest players on the team are ready for whatever situation is thrown at them on the court. Having teammates who have played on state title teams before certainly helps as well.
"They're definitely leaders on the court, I know a lot of times being younger, it's nerve wracking," Maddy said of her teammates. "They're very encouraging on the court, they've done an unbelievable job taking us under their wing and helping take the pressure off and helping us do what we do in practice every day."
The freshmen along with the rest of the team are ready to continue the string of state championships on Saturday.
"It's so exciting to be a part of the legacy," Roberts-Burbank said. "We're all going to come out with great spirit and a strong will to win and the team is going to carry out what the Branson volleyball tradition is all about."

The New England Patriots have locked up quarterback Tom Brady through the 2017 season, which means they also have locked up another five consecutive AFC East titles.
That means absolutely nothing to the Patriots.
The extension the future Hall of Famer got Monday is a reminder just how far behind the rest of the division remains at the game's most important position. The Dolphins won't contend for anything soon in the near future with Ryan Tannehill, and it didn't take long for the Bills and Jets to have buyer's remorse after signing Ryan Fitzpatrick and Mark Sanchez to lucrative deals.
The Patriots, however, are all about winning Super Bowls with Brady and coach Bill Belichick. Securing playoff berths and high postseason seeds is of little interest. They come too easily. In the past seven seasons—when Brady's healthy—the Patriots have made the playoffs but haven't been able to earn a fourth Super Bowl title.
With those disappointments and Brady looking more like a mortal playoff quarterback, Patriots fans are getting restless. They are caught wondering if the best of their beloved Brady is behind them, even though the numbers and performances say otherwise.
We've been wowed by Brady leading the Patriots' offensive juggernaut, but we also have been fooled on just how good they have been by beating up on lesser division rivals. Since 2009, they have gone 20-3 in division games. Over those same four seasons, they are 29-12 in other games and 3-3 in the playoffs.
When Brady was helping the Patriots win nine consecutive playoff games and three Super Bowls, he had a lot of help. The Patriots were much better defensively then for Belichick, and they had a more established power rushing attack to complement their quarterback.
The Patriots have relied too much on Brady to mask other issues in recent years. In turn, he's helped New England outshine its overmatched divisional foes, who regularly have helped the Patriots look elite in the process.
Brady loves football enough to play for the Patriots through age 40, and as long as he's playing for them, they'll be in the hunt for the Super Bowl. Now that he's accommodated their salary-cap needs, the Patriots need to give him more help to get another championship.
Their newfound cap relief will assist them in re-signing offensive players such as wide receiver Wes Welker and offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer. It's good the Patriots also want to invest around Brady to keep him happy, but if they want to keep their championship window open, they need to break out of the convenience of resting on his laurels.
To really reward Brady, the Patriots must get back to the foundation of using an effective defense and running game to ease his burden. It's the same foundation the team gave a young Brady, allowing him to raise three Lombardi Trophies.
Brady's done more than his fair share to keep the Patriots at a high level, but there's a reason that another team built to help its younger quarterback—the Baltimore Ravens—stands as the current class of the NFL.
Brady's new deal should be a reminder to the Patriots that they have only a few more precious years to get it right again.

The shattered 2011 BCS National Championship trophy won by Alabama (in a game played in January of 2012) was auctioned over the weekend at celebrity golf tournament for $105,000, the Tuscaloosa News reported.
The trophy, made of Waterford crystal, was valued at $30,000. In a freak accident the day of the Crimson Tide's spring game in April 2012, Carleton Tinker, the father of then-senior long-snapper Carson Tinker, mistakenly caused the prized trophy to fall to the floor.
"I'm not sure how that thing fell off," he told ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel last year.
As he recalled, he picked up the trophy to admire, as did many others that day.
He set it back in its proper place, turned to walk away and then heard it crash to the floor. He says he may have bumped the table it sat on, or perhaps tripped over the tablecloth. He doesn't remember.
Thankfully, a new trophy was ordered.
As for the former trophy? Some fan filled with great enthusiasm paid more than $100,000 to pick up the broken pieces.

My Fiancée and I stayed in the Villa Monaco. We are local and we were looking to just get away for the weekend. She is dying to go back! The rooms are huge & we loved the beds. We will definitely be returning for more weekend getaways. Breakfast was simple, nothing too fancy but well worth it!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful package that included dinner on Friday night. The service and food was just fantastic. We both had spa services in the morning after a delicious breakfast. The chef had an omelet station going with a fine variety of fixins! Since we live in the area, we will be coming back with friends just for dinner (we didn't know it, but you don't have to be a guest to come and eat. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the public! Great experience.

A blustery storm was expected to hammer the Southland on Thursday, threatening gusty winds, colder temperatures and a wet morning commute.
Rainfall totals were predicted to reach more than half an inch in the coastal and valley areas and more than an inch in the foothills and mountains, weather forecasters said.
"We'll probably see the greatest amount of rainfall in a six-hour period between late (Wednesday) and early Thursday, with scattered showers possible throughout the day on Thursday," said AccuWeather meteorologist Ken Clark.
The National Weather Service predicted a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms throughout the day Thursday that could produce small hail, strong winds and dangerous driving conditions on mountain roads.
The storm will cause the snow line to fall to its lowest elevation of the season, about 3,500 feet, by this morning, likely leaving snow on roadways, including Interstate 5 through The Grapevine, according to the NWS. Snow levels could rise up to 1 foot at the highest elevations and up to 4 inches between 4,000 and 5,000 feet.
"The combination of wet snow and low temperatures in the mountains could create a dangerous situation for campers and outdoor enthusiasts who are not prepared for the change in the weather conditions," the NWS warned on its website.
Temperatures are expected to hover in the low 60s today and could drop to the high 40s in the evening, according to the NWS.
Clark said Friday is expected to be mostly cool and dry with a slight chance of showers late in the evening and early Saturday morning.
Along with the rain, some coastal areas could see unusually high tides, called "king tides," that occur when the earth, moon and sun align, maximizing the gravitational tug.
Tides in Long Beach are expected to reach up to 7.3 feet today, a level that hasn't been reached since 2008, according to a statement from the city of Long Beach.
City officials were encouraging residents near the coastline to prepare for possible flooding. Meanwhile, the city has opened its Emergency Operations Center to monitor rain and tide activity and city crews on Wednesday were inspecting catch basins and pump stations in known flooding areas in preparation for heavy rain.
People are advised to avoid swimming in the ocean and bays within 72 hours of a storm because of bacteria and other contaminants and should always avoid swimming in areas where there might be rip currents.
The city of Long Beach provided some tips in the event of flooding:
• Prior to a flood, people should move important items to higher ground and use sandbags to barricade or divert water.
• Turn off utilities if rising water is inside a structure. Do not shut off your electrical service while you are standing in pooled waters.
• Be aware that floodwaters may carry raw sewage, chemical waste and other disease-spreading substances.
• After a flood, check for structural damage, including any significant shifting, sagging, leaning, or cracking of walls or ceilings.
• Do not enter the home until a professional has checked it.
• Do not use open flames (candles, matches, etc.) until you can verify that there are no gas leaks.
• If you suspect damage, avoid using the tap and toilets and call a plumber.

Investment firm Gladstone Land Corp. has raised $45 million in an initial public stock offering and plans to expand farmland acquisitions beyond California and Florida.
The company, which specializes in row crop vegetable and fruit properties, owns 12 farms — 1,631 acres — valued at $75 million in the two states.
The company is seeking properties in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington, said David Gladstone, chief executive officer.
The stock is listed on NASDAQ and trades under the symbol LAND. On top of the $45 million raised in the Jan. 28 offering, McLean, Va.-based Gladstone Land plans to borrow $90 million more for land purchases.
The company also plans to hire a California-based acquisitions managing director to handle properties there and in Oregon and Washington.
"Now that we have more money, we're going to have to staff up pretty substantially," Gladstone said.
Gladstone, who has a background in the berry industry, sees farmland as a source of stable income and appreciation for shareholders. His first grower tenant was Dole Berry in 2004. Tenants lease on a triple-net basis and cover maintenance, utilities and property related costs.
There are no immediate plans to consider grain, tree or vine properties, but those are a long-term goal.
"Row crops have a lower risk profile," said Bill Frisbie, principal. "Grains are commodity crops subject to global influences.
"Crops we're focused on have lower risks than vines and trees because a grower can rotate crops based on market conditions or come back with a new crop next year if he loses this year's."
Gladstone tenants have grown strawberries, raspberries, lettuce, cabbage, radicchio, cantaloupes, watermelons, okra, peas and grape tomatoes. Part of the attraction of Michigan, New Jersey and the Pacific Northwest is blueberry production.
Initial contacts often come through growers asking the company to buy an adjacent property and lease it to them, Gladstone said.
"Many farmers, big or small, don't wish to tie up their capital in owning real estate," he said. "They make much more putting it to work in growing."
When land is exchanged for shares, taxes aren't due until the shares are sold. For properties with multiple owners, that offers a way to avoid disputes between those seeking immediate cash and those satisfied with the shares and dividends, Gladstone said.
"It's a way for someone to give up a farm without giving up income, because we pay a monthly dividend of 4 cents a share," he said.

Police open fire on killer shark
Video footage from Auckland's Westpac Rescue Helicopter shows the moment police opened fire on the shark that killed a swimmer off Muriwai Beach.
Tributes have today poured in for shark attack victim Adam Strange following a moving tapu lifting ceremony at the beach where he died.
Strange died yesterday after being repeatedly dragged underwater by a massive shark, more than four metres in length, in full view of shocked fishermen and just a short distance from the beach, which was jammed with school children at the time.
Fishermen called desperately to Strange, a documentary maker and regular swimmer at the beach north of Auckland, to swim to a nearby rock, but they could only watch helplessly as the shark, believed to be a great white, attacked him.
Witnesses said up to four other sharks also swept in on Strange as blood spread through the water.
Armed police responded in a helicopter and an inflatable surf lifesaving boat, firing into the ocean to drive the sharks off so lifeguards could recover his body.
Rescue officials said this morning that they had film which showed at least two sharks circling. Beaches north of Manukau Harbour will be closed for the rest of this week.
Strange had been swimming from Maori Bay to Muriwai Beach, 200 metres from shore, in training for an Ocean Swim event.
This morning, between 100 and 200 people gathered for the tapu lifting ceremony led by by Ngati Whatua Nga Rima o Kaipara Trust chairman Malcolm Patterson.
Strange's grieving widow was supported by family colleagues from the film industry in which her late husband once worked.
They entered the water at the point Strange's body was pulled out, and stood there, with the water around their ankles, for a long period embracing. Others wrote messages of support in the sand.
Various lifeguards involved in yesterday's dramatic body retrieval from the sea were also present.
His family last night issued a brief statement, saying they were ''grieving the loss of a glorious and great father, husband and friend''.
''We are in deep shock and are still trying to contact overseas family members, so discretion and privacy would be appreciated until the family are ready to make any further statements,'' they said.
A surfing buddy said it was fitting that it took one of the ocean's biggest creatures to "take out" Strange.
Simon Shepheard said his friend was not intimidated by any environment.
"Waves were his specialty and he was training for the Rangitoto swim and that's why he pushed himself out into that environment.
"He was a really incredibly fit man with a well researched diet. He had a huge passion for life, lived in the moment and taught everyone else how to.
"He lived big moments."
Friends and family were gathering at Strange's widow Meg Thompson's home with flowers and baking.
Thompson was still too upset to talk with media, but Shepheard was happy to speak about the strong and talented man Strange was.
"I just think his death reflected his life.''
"He went through something that was everyone's worst nightmare but he's the only guy I know who could actually handle something like that in his head and could, in some really perverse way, understand what was going on."
"He was passionate, he had a really quick mind that was in demand all through Asia for his problem solving abilities when it came to film making," Shepheard said.
"He could go into a shoot, it doesn't matter what it was, and come out with a polished diamond."
An award-winning director, Strange had a background in painting, photography and graphic design.
On his web page, Strange wrote that when he got a spare five minutes, he liked to ''make a fruit smoothie, surf some big waves out on the West Coast, point my skis down a mountain with Meg, haul my mountain bike up and down a few hills, drink some Pinot while scratching away at a film script...''
Those who knew Strange have paid tribute to a talented man who was in love with the sea.
"Woke up this am still in shock that our friend Adam Strange was killed yesterday. like a surreal dream. He was so talented," Chrys Graham said.
"What a strange death for someone who was full of life... the guy was in love with sea... RIP Adam Strange," Josephine Ong commented.
"A river of tears for Adam Strange's family. Arohanui. You will come through this," Jessica Macc said.
Muriwai Surf Lifesaving chairman Tim Jago said this morning that everything pointed to the sharks being great whites, due to their size and behaviour.
The expert advice was that when injured, the sharks did not return to the same area. What wasn't known was how badly injured the main shark was after being shot at by a police officer.
Jago said the experts also pointed out there was no record of great whites making repeat attacks in the same places.
They had been scanning the water since yesterday and the sharks had not been spotted again.
Jago said their focus now was on helping Adam's wife and young daughter. They were a popular family in the community.
Jago said Strange was closely associated with the lifesaving club and played an active role in the lead up to last weekend's opening of newly upgraded facilities.
"He was always there at working bees on the end of a shovel," he said.
Jago said the beach was till closed to swimmers but Strange would be the first to encourage people to resume normal activity once all signs of danger had gone.
The first big test of public confidence would come this Sunday when junior lifeguard trainees aged between 5 and 14 were due to train.
Niwa principal scientist Malcolm Francis said great white sharks were continually circling the New Zealand coastline in summer months, and would on occasion follow schools of fish inshore.
He had been studying and tagging great white sharks for a number of years and said four metres was a "fairly standard" size for a great white.
"That could certainly be a mature male, or if it's a female it wouldn't be mature because they can get quite a bit bigger."
Francis said he was "pretty certain" the shark had not been tagged.
Shark attacks were often cases of mistaken identity, but Francis said depending on a shark's age, they were attracted to eating different things.
"I guess it would be millennia of years of evolution that actually lets them know humans are not their natural food source.
"We don't have fins, and we move in different ways to fish and seals and their typical food sources."
Francis said for the most part, they might get close and investigate but would then typically move away.
"That does not mean you shouldn't get out of the water when one is near. Certainly get out of the water because it's very hard to know what sharks are going to do."
Witnesses yesterday recounted the horror of watching the attack from the shore.
Pio Mose, who was fishing on a rock near Maori Bay, just around a point from Muriwai Beach, said he called to the dying man.
''All of a sudden, we saw the shark fin and next minute, boom, attack him and then blood every where on the water.''
Mose dialed 111 and a friend ran to Muriwai to get life guards.
''He was still alive, he put his head up, we called him to swim over [to] the rock to where we were. He raised his hand up, and then while he was rising his hand up we saw another attack pull him in the water.''
Jago said the lifeguards who responded to the incident were shocked at the size of the shark. ''No one had seen anything this big out here ever.''
Muriwai had a history of shark attacks and there had been sightings earlier in the week of at least one large shark at Piha, 14km further south.
Since 1837, only 15 have been fatal, and great whites have been responsible for at least 11 of them.
The last confirmed shark death was in 1976, in Te Kaha, Bay of Plenty, when spearfisherman John Leith was attacked by what was thought to be a bronze whaler.

A LEOMINSTER-based charity is looking for a home in Ledbury to help meet the rising demand for its services.
Marches Family Network run 'fun days' around the county, which provide respite care for parents with disabled children.
The charity, which is based on Brunel Road, recently held a fun day in Ledbury, which proved a success with 14 children attending.
Louise Walton, charity manager, said: "I had suspected since I started in the role in 2012 that there were people in the Ledbury area who wanted our help. We received some money from The Helping Hands Company to host a fun day there and that proved that enough families were interested."
The fun days include outdoor and indoor activities, bouncy castles, visits from magicians and days out, and Louise believes they offer a "vital break" for parents.
The charity also helps families in other ways, which includes offering advocacy, advice on other services, help with filling in forms or just a chat. There are also chances for parents to go on family outings and meet others.
She said: "As a mum of a young person with special needs I'm acutely aware that there is not enough provision for youngsters with special needs in Herefordshire. I want to make our services accessible to as many families as possible.
"The fun days give parents a much-needed break and the kids really enjoy them."
Any possible venue in Ledbury must have a place to store play equipment, must be away from a main road and have at least two rooms and an outdoor area with fencing. Car parking, toilets and wheelchair access is also required.
The charity is also looking for sponsors to help with funding and for volunteers.
Opportunities for sponsorship and funding include donations of £1,200 per play day or £10,800 for 12 months, which is nine sessions.
The charity was established in 1982 and began as a small self-help parent group. From 1995 it has grown to support more than 170 families in Herefordshire, Shropshire and the surrounding areas and runs monthly play days from hired venues all around the county.

India Trips
India strikes its visitor with a sensory, intellectual, spiritual and philosophical assault that's unmatched by any other place on earth, all set in an awesome physical environment teeming with a resilient, indefatigable 1.2 billion-strong population. Every expectation – be it of beauty, mysticism, poverty, bigotry or bureaucracy – will be outdone by what hits you on the ground. When VS Naipaul wrote "there is little subtlety to India", it was itself an understatement: whether measured in passion for cricket, film, faith or politics, India revels in the extreme and rejects all apathy, minimalism and restraint.
The subcontinent's sheer diversity is staggering: India ranges from tropical beach paradises to primary forests of teak and jackfruit trees where elephants roam and macaques leap, desert tundras broken by fairytale forts ruled by haughty princes with Rajput moustaches, chilly foothills clad in tea plantations and dotted with British clubhouses, opening onto vistas of the world's highest mountain peaks, through outsized metropoles whose infrastructure buckles under the weight of the unceasing movement of their vast human populations, right down to atavistic village life of tapping toddy, ploughing seed, tilling soil.Read more
Delhi, India's capital city is brash, chaotic, dynamic and a perfect introduction to the country. In Agra, the Taj Mahal still astonishes in its power and beauty, while Amritsar's Golden Temple is another jaw-dropping destination that combines spirituality with the warmest of welcomes. Rajasthan is littered with evocative forts and palaces, but also has varied landscapes that shelter rare wildlife, including tigers.
Despite the fact that India is embracing modernity with open arms, it has shunned secularism. Most of Indian society remains fiercely religious, a religiosity which remains a source of both social harmony and sporadic tension. The north holds hushed Tibetan Buddhist monasteries of frugal understatement, hewn into jagged Himalaya cliff faces, their air thick with incense and lit with ghee lamps, where prayer wheels turn and flags flutter in the high-altitude granite desert.
The south answers with riotous candy-pop Hindu confections, crammed with gaudy gods, flanked by painted festival elephants and bugle-playing Brahmins. In between lie Muslim mosques of vast proportions, sprawling Sikh temple complexes and the tombs of Sufi mystics visited by pilgrims of every denomination.

The QuestBridge Application
About our Partnership with QuestBridge
Beginning in 2013, Colorado College has partnered with QuestBridge - a non-profit organization that matches high-achieving, underserved students with opportunities in higher education. Colorado College participates in National College Match and will enroll a number of QuestBridge students, some through match and others through Colorado College's own admission processes.
Unlike the Coalition and Common Applications, the QuestBridge Application is administered through a third-party organization and only students who have matriculated up through their process may apply using the QuestBridge Application. But like the other methods of application, students applying through QuestBridge must submit the Supplemental Essays, which they can do here.
Matching Process
QuestBridge manages its own application process that begins in the late-summer before a student's senior year. Students selected by QuestBridge and matched with Colorado College receive comprehensive, four-year financial aid packages. These packages do not contain student loans.
QuestBridge students who do not participate in the match process with Colorado College are still encouraged to have their applications forwarded to Colorado College. Non-matched students can apply to Colorado College through Early Action, Early Decision 1 or 2, or Regular Decision.
Application Materials
In addition to the QuestBridge application, you should complete the QuestBridge Supplement. If not included in your QuestBridge application packet, please submit an official updated transcript with your most recent grades, official test scores and guidance counselor or teacher recommendations. You should also submit your mid-year grades when they become available.
Official copies of these documents can be e-mailed to email@example.com.
QuestBridge Application versus the Common Application
Colorado College does not prefer one application over the other. The Office of Admission will review the QuestBridge application for Match Finalists, Match Finalist Non-Participants, and QuestBridge Match Non-Finalists. You do not need to submit the Common Application in order to apply to Colorado College. However, your application will not be considered complete without Colorado College's QuestBridge Supplement. Please follow the instructions on the Colorado College partner page via the QuestBridge website to complete your application to Colorado College.
Application Fee
Colorado College waives the application fee for QuestBridge finalists and non-finalists alike. If you apply using the Common Application, check the box indicating that you will apply using a fee waiver. Our staff will identify you as a QuestBridge finalist.
Standardized Test Score Requirement
We require that applicants submit either the SAT, the ACT, or opt into our flexible testing policy which will require three exam components including one quantitative test, one verbal or writing test, and a third test of the your choice. Discover more about our testing policies and applicable exams on our Testing page.
Application Process for Non-Matched Students
If you do not match, the easiest way to complete the application process is through the QuestBridge application forwarding process to pass your application materials to us.
If you are interested in applying Early Action or Early Decision 2, you can notify us on Colorado College's QuestBridge Supplement. The deadline for applying either Early Decision 2 (a binding process that requires an ED Agreement) or Regular Decision is January 15.
If you are a finalist who ranked Colorado College and do not match with any institution, you may apply Early Action or Early Decision I by notifying us, in writing, by December 8th. If you are interested in applying Early Decision 2 (a binding process that requires an ED Agreement), you must notify us by January 15. All QuestBridge finalists who rank CC but do not match with us or another institution will automatically be considered in our Regular Decision round. Finalists who do not rank Colorado College and do not match with another institution must notify us, in writing, of their interest in being considered for admission and should have their application forwarded to Colorado College.
Financial Aid Availability for Non-Matched Students
Colorado College is also committed to meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all admitted students, and does so with grants, student employment, and a student loan. In order to be considered for financial aid at Colorado College, you should complete the CSS/PROFILE and the FAFSA.
More Information
Questions about QuestBridge applications or about Colorado College's relationship with QuestBridge should be directed to the Office of Admission at 800-542-7214, 719-389-6344 or email@example.com.
Questions about financial aid procedures, material processing, or specific family circumstances should be directed to email@example.com.

The anger flowing through you here about him I just can't seem to understand?? It was a dick move to pull this early in the season, we can all agree on, but whenever i've heard him in interviews and whatnot he seems like one of the coolest most down to earth guys ever. A classy champion. But whatevs, we all see things differently I suppose :D

Todd Baggett, chief executive officer of RedLine Solutions, Santa Clara, Calif., says the company is ready for the resurgence of interest in the Produce Traceability Initiative with recent software updates.
The company added support for multiple print heads and labels to its Vision system. Before, users could only use one.
"We've had Vision for a long time, so we just incorporated the ability to have all of that managed from within the packing application itself," Baggett said.
The information is downloaded into a local computer, and there are specific box and label styles that can be employed automatically instead of manually.
The upgrade went live earlier this spring, Baggett said.
"We are working on things to simplify our customers' lives," he said. "We are continuously working to improve our systems.
For those customers that do larger volumes of product on conveyor belts, the automatic labeling technology can save a lot of time and effort.
"If you are trying to apply labels to up to 50 million cartons manually, the accuracy will be dependent of how attentive the labor is," Baggett said.
For example, avocado packers might work with multiple sizes and at least two brand labels, with several different grades.
All of that product gets packed on individual spurs off the main line that feed into the pallet line, which can be complicated for manual labor to keep track of, Baggett said.
"Vision comes into play there because all those different versions of the same commodity are on the same line and Vision uses characteristics of each box to determine what product it is and apply the correct label within a second," he said.
Examples of characteristics that can be used are box color, graphics or logos, for instance.
"This is really big from a productivity standpoint," Baggett said.
In addition, to take it beyond this, RedLine also uses bar code scanning to scan the carton and find the lot number as the pallet is built, so users can scan it and see exactly how many cartons of each lot are on any given load.
This came about from users' concerns over the hybrid pallet tag.
"Using the system and a bar code scanner, if you have an order for strawberries but then add blueberries to the pallet, you can still know what came on and off the pallet," Baggett said.
Baggett is excited about the increased interest in PTI products right now.
"It's an exciting time for RedLine," he said.
He said he has seen a lot of interest in the previous year in their cooler-based product.
"We've had a lot of people investing in our cooler product because they saw it as a precursor to PTI compliance. They started with the cooler process and are now ready to move on with other levels," he said.

Nunez does agility drills, remains out of lineup
BOSTON -- Twins utility man Eduardo Nunez, who strained his right hamstring Saturday, was held out of the lineup for a second straight day Monday, but was able to get through agility drills before the game.
Nunez was ruled out for Monday's game, but Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was encouraged that Nunez was able to participate in an early workout with strength and conditioning coordinator Perry Castellanos. There's no timetable for his return, though the Twins remain hopeful he'll be able to avoid the 15-day disabled list.
"He's OK," Gardenhire said. "He did his thing. The trainers told me everything went good. Perry ran him through all his drills. He's day to day. Not sure how many days, but day to day."
With Nunez unavailable, Eduardo Escobar started at third base with Danny Santana getting the nod at shortstop.

I've been working on a Reds video the past couple days. Lemme know what you guys think.
I have a task for you, if you should accept it. At the end of the season, in addition to the team video that I'm sure you already planned on doing, make a highlight video of nothing but Brandon Phillips defensive plays. My guess is that you'll be lucky to get it edited down to 15 minutes of footage.
Back to back losses to the Pirates? :/
Were supposed to be getting things together to face Philly, not getting worse!
I love losing to the Pirates. That's a quality baseball team.

lmao, halfway through the video I was half-tempted to just redo everything and make it JUST Dat Dude. He's awesome.
I wouldn't have considered the losses to Pittsburgh a big deal had we not just basically been gifted two wins agains the Cubs. Hopefuly they can recoup quickly, no time to go backwards.

Losers of 6 in a row.
Volquez sent down to minors.
The Reds had a magical season last year. They are not a top tier team. Cleveland & Philly have proven that. The Reds are going to have to learn from this or they wont win the division.
As expected, the Phillies dominated us last night.
If we win one game this series I would be shocked.

Nice 19 innings last night. Lol, that was rough.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
Carlos Fisher threw 5 good innings out of the bullpen. Happy to have him back and healthy. Reds do have a good pen, just stinks we lost A Rhodes this season.
Bounce back win for us today. I feel it.
Jay Bruce is on fire another HR. He is on beast mode.
4 - 4 right now
Reds need this W to break even for the series
Jay Bruce. So hot right now. Bruce.
This team needs help. We have good pieces to continue on in the future (Phillips, Votto, Bruce, Stubbs, Bailey, Chapman, etc), but it was obvious we had glaring weaknesses last year in the playoffs. I still don't understand why more moves weren't made to shore up problems at LF, SS, and the starting rotation. I think we're going to continue to see inconsistent outings until some of these problems are resolved. In the meantime, we'll need to be clicking on all cylinders to stay near/at the top of the NL Central.
Volquez defines this team right now. Total Lack of Concentration. The Reds are 7 - 11 in one run games this season. We have seen it also on the basepaths this year.
I am not in panic mode. Rolen is getting back from injury. Bruce is on fire. They lost to two quality teams [clev/philly] Keep in mind Reds win that 19 inning game they break even vs Philly. Crazy you go 19 innings the first game of a night/day matchup & then your starting pitcher [h bailey] leaves the game early the next day with shoulder stiffness.
What was embarresing to me was when we lost in the 19th inning with the heart of our lineup facing an INFIELDER! Not even a pitcher, and we lost....
[QUOTE=pacer4ever;1236037]Wow what has happen to Jay Bruce his swing looks terrible now. Has it been like this all season? his fundamentals make Fonso's look perfect. This game has been frustrating for both offenses. Pretty sad that i now expect it we are terrible this year at scoring runs we have no speed and cant run the bases and cant hit with RISP. We should be out of contention pretty soon we play terrible baseball all around.[/QUO
Look what Jay Bruce has done since you criticized him in the last 2 weeks. He has batted .442 with 8 HR's & 12 RBI's in his last 12 games. He may win player of the month.
Greinke vs Reds tonight. Brew Crew is terrible on the road. Great @ home. Soo much parody this whole season. The Pirates may not even lose 90 games this season.

Trials held for students
6:02pm Sunday 2nd February 2014
By Craig Stoddart
6:02pm Sunday 2nd February 2014
By Craig Stoddart
Martin Gray will hope to unearth more talented teens such as Andrew White when his academy holds trials later this month.
In conjunction with Darlington College, the Martin Gray Football Academy holds trials for potential BTEC students during the half-term holiday.
And White, a BTEC student at Darlington College, is among the academy's biggest success stories, having recently been selected by England Schoolboys.
The teenager received the call to represent the English Schools Football Association Under-18s team alongside two fellow Durham County players, Dean Briggs and Adam Curry. Paul Braithwaite of Cleveland has also been selected.
White, a defender, featured in Darlington's first team last season and Gray says that the BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport provides students with an opportunity to further their career, including the potential to play for the club's under-18s.
Gray said: "The course is designed to provide a radical, exciting and different opportunity for young people in Darlington and the surrounding areas to study for a BTEC Diploma in Sport at levels 3 and 2."
Trials are being held at Darlington Rugby Club's Blackwell Meadows on February 15 from 10am for a 10.30am start.
All are welcome to attend for initial assessment.
For more information on the trials, call 07921 334577.

OUSTED Clacton Ukip candidate Roger Lord has quit politics after being sidelined for Douglas Carswell.
Mr Lord, a farmer from Weeley Road, Great Bentley, was set to fight Mr Carswell at next year's General Election until the shock defection.
Mr Carswell quit as Tory MP triggering a by-election, for which he has been selected to stand for Ukip by the party's national executive committee.
Mr Lord said he is intending to resign from Ukip and as county councillor for Brightlingsea yesterday.
He said: "I wish Gary Scott, the local county council Liberal candidate, the best of luck in the forthcoming election."
In a letter to Joanna Killian, chief executive of Essex County Council, he added: "Recent political events in Clacton have changed my personal circumstances in political terms.
"This has invoked an aspiration to enact an opportunity that emerged some time ago to move on to pastures new."
David Finch, the Conservative leader on Essex County Council, claimed Mr Lord's resignation means Ukip is in a state of "chaos" in Tendring.
He said: "This just proves that UKIP are in complete disarray in Essex and their one trick pony policies are starting unravel as they fall out amongst themselves.
"This will be a bitter blow to their Clacton campaign and the wheels are off the Carswell bandwagon."
Jamie Huntman, leader of the Ukip group on the county council, said: "With regards to Roger Lord, sometimes in life we have to put our personal differences aside for the greater good.
"Our goal must be Westminster.
"David Finch should join us if he wants to address the concerns of the people of Essex.
"His suggestion that we have one trick pony policies completely disregards the people's concerns on immigration and Europe and is why the Tories are filled with politicians who are all career and no conviction.
"Our support and membership in Essex continues to grow at the same rate the Conservatives is plummeting."

Conditions were again perfect for the early starters in the second round of the 78th Masters, but recent history suggested the odds were against those not already high on the leaderboard.
The last eight winners of the year's first major championship had been inside the top 10 after the first round, which was good news for the likes of 2012 winner Bubba Watson and defending champion Adam Scott in joint second.
But it was bad news for the likes of Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose and Ian Poulter - who were in a tie for 67th after opening rounds of 76 - while former world number one Luke Donald beat just eight players on Thursday following a 79.
Rory McIlroy rewrote numerous records in his eight-shot victories in the 2011 US Open and 2012 US PGA Championship, so the 24-year-old would not be too concerned about being joint 12th overnight.
However, the Northern Irishman was concerned about being in the last group out just before 2pm local time, with tough pin positions, firm greens and wind forecast to gust up to 20mph set to make life difficult.
American Kevin Streelman was the first player to make the most of an early start on Friday, birdies at the second and fourth taking the 35-year-old to two under par, two behind leader Bill Haas.
Streelman, who missed the cut in his previous two Masters appearances with a best score of 74, was in the first group out with DA Points, who bogeyed the first to drop back to seven over.
The top 50 players and ties will make the halfway cut, along with any player within 10 shots of the lead.
Streelman remained two under after eight holes while former Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, who lost a play-off to Watson two years ago, opened with two pars to stay one off the lead on three under.
Denmark's Thomas Bjorn had birdied the first and second to improve to one under par overall, while debutant Stephen Gallacher had bogeyed the fourth to drop back to level par.


text: This has got to be the lowest moment I can remember while being a Pacer fan. Had a guy with star potential handed to you and didn't have the sense to take it. Team had momentum from the season, the post season and had the fans excited and then end up with this. So the arena will continue to be empty again. The Pacers wasted another chance to win people over. Nobody will pay to watch Plumlee. This is mind boggling.

'In the case of the Sabres, they will have another busy offseason. They didn't offer co-captain Daniel Briere a long-term deal last year, instead leaving it up to an arbitrator to decide Briere's salary. That salary became $5 million for 2006-2007. Now, Briere is set to receive a substantial raise again, possibly in the area of $6 million to $7 million next season and the years to come.'

Gen9 is a privately held company with a portfolio of next-generation gene synthesis technologies that enable the high-throughput, automated production of DNA constructs at lower cost and higher accuracy than previous methods. Together, these technologies form the foundation of the Gen9 BioFab® platform, which has the capacity to synthesize tens of thousands of gene fragments in just a few square feet of laboratory space.
As part of this relationship, Gen9 will incorporate Agilent's Oligonucleotide Library Synthesis (OLS) technology into its manufacturing process to allow for the large-scale creation of pathway constructs and DNA libraries. Agilent's OLS technology is the industry-leading platform for generating high-accuracy oligos. Today, Gen9 is manufacturing and shipping double-stranded GeneBits™ DNA constructs, or gene fragments from 500 to 1,024 base pairs long.
"Gen9 was founded to significantly increase the world's capacity to cost-effectively generate high-quality DNA content for use in transforming industries ranging from chemical and enzyme production to agriculture, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and even data storage," said Kevin Munnelly, president and CEO of Gen9, Inc. "Agilent's investment is a powerful validation of our proprietary BioFab platform and we look forward to working closely with them to further innovate around our manufacturing capabilities and build Gen9 into the leading high-throughput supplier to the synthetic biology marketplace."
"Synthetic DNA constructs have the potential to form the foundation of the next revolution in industrial manufacturing, through biologically constructed machines that can produce materials of high value and complexity. This revolution will only be possible through the ability to routinely synthesize and assemble high-quality, error-free DNA at much greater sequence lengths than are currently available," added Neil Cook, vice president and director, Agilent Laboratories. "We believe that Gen9 has the correct strategy, technology, team, and IP portfolio to complement Agilent's innovations in oligo library synthesis and, working together, we will help realize the promise of synthetic biology."
Agilent's partnership with Gen9 complements the company's existing investments in synthetic biology, gene synthesis and assembly, including further generations of its oligo synthesis technology. Agilent currently produces the highest-quality long DNA compared to that of any commercially available source. In addition, in 2011 Agilent launched a collaborative investment with UC Berkeley's Synthetic Biology Institute as its first Industry Member. Agilent announced an earlier collaborative investment with Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering in 2010.
Gen9 was founded in 2009 by Joseph Jacobson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), George Church (Harvard Medical School) and Drew Endy (Stanford University). Additional Gen9 investors include Draper Fisher Jurvetson, The Kraft Group, PBM Capital Group and a number of angel investors, including Scott A. Schoen and Weili Dai.

Cassevah outrighted off Angels' 40-man roster
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Angels outrighted reliever Bobby Cassevah off their 40-man roster on Thursday.
Cassevah, who is out of options, cleared waivers and now has 72 hours to decide whether or not to accept an assignment to the Minor Leagues. If he doesn't, he'll become a free agent.
Cassevah posted a 2.87 ERA in a combined 46 appearances with the Angels from 2010-11. Late last spring, the 27-year-old right-hander suffered a slight tear in his rotator cuff, then struggled in Triple-A, posting a 6.22 ERA in 44 games, and was sent to the Arizona Fall League to continue working on his pitching.
The move creates an open spot on the Angels' 40-man roster, which is now at 39.
