Now, I will turn the conference over to Cary Walker, Senior Vice President and Manager of Corporate Communications for City National. Please proceed.
Cary Walker - Senior Vice President and Manager of Corporate Public Relations
Thank you. Good afternoon. Here to discuss City National's second quarter highlights are Russell Goldsmith, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chris Carey, our Chief Financial Officer. This call will include comments and forward-looking statements based on current plans, expectations, events and financial industry trends that may affect the company's future operating results and financial conditions.
Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and future activities and results may differ materially from these expectations. The speakers on this call claim the protection of the Safe Harbor provisions contained in the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, see the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the full year ended December 31, 2007.
This afternoon City National issued a news release outlining its financial results for the second quarter of 2008. To obtain a copy, please visit our website at www.cnb.com. After comments by management today, we'll open this call up to your questions.
And now I will turn the call over to our CEO, Russell Goldsmith.
Russell Goldsmith - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us again this quarter. A few minutes ago, we announced second quarter 2008 earnings for City National of $35.5 million or $0.73 a share. Through the first half of '08, City National has now earned just under $80 million or $1.64 per share on revenue of $459.6 million. City National is on track for its 15th consecutive profitable year and actually this is our 61st consecutive quarter of profitability.
In the second quarter, our businesses performed well, generally speaking. Loans grew at double digit rates and so did non-interest income, as City National continued to add new wealth management and cash management clients as well. Core deposits also increased noticeably from the first quarter.
Our company remains well capitalized as evidenced by today's dividend declaration and our continuing stock buyback program. I think it's important to emphasize once again that City National has avoided virtually all of the more publicized problems in the banking sector like subprime mortgages and subprime CDOs, problems that are plaguing other institutions, but not City National.
We have no option ARMs, no brokered mortgages. And for all practical purposes, we have no auto loans or consumer credit card debt to affect us in anyway. In spite of today's challenging economic environment, City National remains strong, consistently profitable, and well reserved.
As you noticed, second quarter earnings were below 2007 because we've recorded $35 million provision for credit losses as compared with no provision in the second quarter of 2007. This provision for the second quarter of '08 takes into account two positive factors actually, City National's loan growth and a $17 million build in our strong credit reserves taking it up to 1.5% of total loans, one of the stronger levels in banking.
Of course, this level of provision also reflects the higher costs created by additional and significant housing market deterioration in the second quarter that has clearly taken a toll on our home-builder clients. In light of current economic conditions, which are likely to persist through this year and into 2009, we have lowered our full-year earnings per share guidance, logically [ph] because we are determined to maintain solid credit reserves and have to anticipate further credit deterioration in light of the economy.
With that reserve prudently in place, City National is both well positioned to weather this economic opportunity... economic downturn, and at the same time can remain profitable while taking advantage of some attractive growth opportunities. In our opinion, there is a shift underway that favors strong banks like City National that have a strong deposit and capital base and are open for business with the ability to meet their client's reasonable financial needs.
As the market for leverage and securitization recedes or dries up entirely in many cases and investors demand more appropriate pricing for the risks they take on and as it's very obvious these days, some of the most aggressive lenders disappear from the landscape, we believe over the long term that more solid well managed companies with credit needs and deposits will turn more often to banks like City National, and do so on more attractive terms.

ONE system crash and nearly 1.1 million comments later, the Federal Communications Commission should get the message: Many Americans strongly oppose proposed regulations that would create two lanes on the Internet highway — fast or slow. Providers would be able to sell faster connectivity to companies that can afford to pay premium prices.
Keep the Internet open. Preserve net neutrality, which is based on the value that everyone should have the same access to the Internet — and information should flow to all at equal speed.
Should regulators follow through with plans to build a fast lane, too many people who work in the digital space would be hard-pressed to compete against tech giants such as Facebook, Netflix and Amazon.com, which can afford paying to get content to users faster.
Think of all the innovation, ideas and opinions that might be stifled under this pay-to-play scheme. Startups, nonprofits and small businesses would lose. Comcast and Verizon would reap the profits without much incentive to improve customer service.

Instead of considering a two-tiered system, the FCC should reclassify broadband Internet as a public telecommunications service. This is the best way to protect consumers from the whims of profit-driven corporations, which have immense power to determine the content Americans read, watch and hear online.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler should listen closely to President Obama, who recently stated he does not "want to start getting a differentiation in how accessible the Internet is to various users. You want to leave it open so that the next Google or the next Facebook can succeed."
If the FCC is to promote truly the free flow of ideas in American society, it must also use a separate quadrennial review process currently under way to stop big media conglomerates from gobbling up local television stations and newspapers — reducing staffs and diversity of viewpoints along the way.
Citizens should keep up the pressure on regulators to protect net neutrality. The next comment period ends Sept. 15. Make your voice heard.

This past weekend while in Frederick, MD with a couple of my bff running buddies, I had the pleasure of visiting Zoe's Chocolates, a family owned third generation chocolatier.
I bought four of these small square chocolates, two sea salt (dark and milk), one peanut butter meltaway and one mint (pictured at left).
Naturally we're all watching our weight which made these little squares perfect. There's nothing like letting a small chocolate treat melt in your mouth providing a little bit of happiness without much guilt.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Many reviewers caution against relying solely on a cable bike lock, but it's good for additional protection. The OnGuard Bulldog DT is a handy two-in-one option, a U-lock plus cable lock, all at a reasonable price. This lock shouldn't be your top choice if you live in a high-crime city, however.
Cable included. Experts say no bike lock is impenetrable, so the test of a good lock is how long it can resist an attack. Testers easily clip most cable locks in a few seconds, so they don't recommend relying on a cable lock alone. Steel U-locks get the highest scores overall, but a standard size typically fits around the bike frame, one wheel and the bike rack, leaving the other wheel and the seat unprotected.
The OnGuard Bulldog DT includes a U-lock made of hardened steel and a supplemental cable together in one package. Reviews say this added feature is a bonus, but warn that cables aren't the most secure way to keep a bike's front wheel safe.
Tough lock, faulty keys. Like other OnGuard models, the Bulldog DT is made of tough, durable hardened steel. However, numerous reviewers warn of faulty, broken keys. This major drawback makes it difficult to recommend the lock, despite its other stellar features.
Not the best option. While the cable lock is a welcome addition for keeping the front wheel secure, the OnGuard Bulldog DT doesn't offer the same level of security as other top bike locks. If you have a valuable bike or ride in a high-crime area, experts recommend buying a maximum-security U-lock like the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini (Est. $70) for the frame and rear wheel since it's thicker and stronger, and a second U-lock for the front wheel.
The Bulldog DT features a $1,501 anti-theft warranty, but it's not available in New York State.

Review Credibility: Very Good More than 100 owners review the OnGuard Bulldog DT bike lock, giving it 3.3 stars out of 5. They like the cable's usefulness but find the U-lock's locking mechanism difficult to work with. Some dislike the delicate keys. Others complain about the weight and say they wouldn't rely on the lock for leaving a bike overnight in an urban setting.

2. BikeRadar.com
Review Credibility: Good This U.K. website reports that the OnGuard Bulldog DT U-lock took anything testers threw at it with hand tools, but ultimately succumbed to power tools. Rossiter says the addition of a cable lock to this already strong U-lock makes the Bulldog a good deal.

3. The New York Times
Review Credibility: Fair In this review, editor of Urban Velo magazine Brad Quartuccio says the OnGuard Bulldog DT is "pretty perfect for most people." However, we can't tell if he tested the lock.

Supply chain community unites to assist in Hurricane Isaac relief
August 30, 2012
On Tuesday afternoon, tropical storm Isaac became Hurricane Isaac and made landfall in Louisiana. With rainfall estimates potentially in excess of those seen during Hurricane Katrina, aid and relief groups have sprung into action. Among them is the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN), which is dedicated to engaging the supply chain community to support the humanitarian relief needs of individuals, communities and other relief organizations.
ALAN is now acting as a hub for requests for assistance and offers of support in the supply chain community, and is participating in emergency management conference calls for both public and private entities. ALAN urges impacted businesses and individuals to monitor official information sources for the most up-to-date- information, but it is also offering its own updates at http://www.alanaid.com and at the Warehouse Education and Research Council Website at http://www.werc.org.
As of mid-day on Wednesday, ALAN had issued a support request for warehouse and office space in the Baton Rouge, La., area, and had received unsolicited commercial offers for mobile generators available for rent. In addition to facilitating these service exchanges, ALAN has listed links to online tools where businesses can submit damage assessments, individuals can sign up for local FEMA RSS feeds and operations briefings, and businesses can pledge to join the National Preparedness Coalition.
ALAN president Jock Menzies thanked participating companies and individuals for their efforts in recent years to position ALAN to be effective in responding to events like Hurricane Isaac.
"Over the past few years ALAN has become an integral part of the emergency response framework by using its network to help nonprofit and government relief efforts connect with supply chain input and resources," Menzies said. "We all have a stake in this and it has happened because of the generous support, financial and otherwise, of our industry community."

In all the noise, sounds of silence
Marriage | Too often the church has failed to be profound in the profound debate over gay marriage
We editors at WORLD have had a hard time—not with knowing where we stand on gay marriage but knowing how to punctuate it.
After several readers chastised us for using the term "gay marriage" as though it were a legitimate phrase, we decided to put inside quotations the word "marriage" when it referred to a union between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. In time—and with the increasing need to use it—we've wearied of seeing "marriage" that way: It looks more snarky than serious and gives the impression we have doubts about any concept of marital union.
In this issue's cover story and in our online and print coverage moving forward, we generally will use the term gay or same-sex marriage without quotes, recognizing it as a now understood cultural construct (similar to the way a term like "wired" acquired altered meanings or the way we've learned what's meant by "casual sex"). The task of Christian journalists is to report the world the way it is, while keeping in mind the way we wish it to be. But the context of our reporting and commentary shows that gay marriage is not a construct we buy.
The lexicographers have succumbed to pressure to amend their definitions of "marriage" (Merriam-Webster added "being united to a person of the same sex" as a secondary meaning in 2003, but a petition drive is underway to make it part of the first listed meaning). For Christians, "marriage" between members of the same sex—no matter who redefines it—is an ontological impossibility, and not only because the apostle Paul condemned homosexuality in Romans 1.
Marriage is woven purposefully and intimately (if you will) into the narrative of the Old and New Testament, enfolding the entire canon of what is accepted as the basis for the belief system known as Christianity. It is the created order of humankind in Genesis 1, celebrated as a gift leading in turn to the gift of children in Genesis 2, confirmed by Jesus in Matthew 19, set as a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church in Ephesians 5, and the visual used to capture the final scene of time itself in Revelation 21. In every instance it's the distinctives of the parts, male and female, that make the whole.
So it follows logically, as one organizational statement on the LGBT movement affirms, to say: "Homosexual desire itself is contrary to the design of God for human sexuality. In that sense, it is rightly thought of as a fallen condition and, in general terms, a consequence of sin and brokenness."
And quickly we must add: All have sinned and fallen short. It was the couple yoked in marriage according to God's order in the garden, after all, who led us into the fall and all sins that have followed. Homosexuals have no corner on sin, but the practice of homosexuality is sinful.
That's why the silence and acquiescence in many evangelical churches is so profoundly disturbing and dismantling. The refusal of too many pastors and seminaries to teach clearly on why homosexuality cannot be the basis for marriage—the fear to be accused of bigotry—has left shrill voices and violent haters filling the public square. And it's left many Christians and normally astute thinkers bewildered, unsure.
To be sure, the climate is fearsome. The organizational statement quoted above is a profound and helpful document distributed internally to guide employees of a national Christian organization. But we've agreed not to name the group at this time or publicize the statement—as helpful as we believe it could be—because that group has a legitimate fear for its staff and of legal action from pro-gay activists.
And for pastors, as Louis Giglio learned in January, preaching on homosexuality even 15 years ago gets you disqualified from giving the inaugural benediction. But silence and retreat (including our own) has allowed distortion and exaggeration to carry the day.
Far beyond leaving a few editors in stylistic limbo, the failure to speak boldly, accurately, and kindly does damage not only to the church but to the gay community, and to American society at large. We do no one a favor, no matter how many ships Rob Bell proclaims have sailed, to permit by our actions or inactions what contradicts so deeply what God has designed.

Problem Solved! Meet the Male Birth Control PillMeredith Carroll
Just a few days ago I wrote about struggling with the decision of whether I should get a tubal ligation after my c-section this summer or send my husband off to get a vasectomy. I'm way over birth control, and after this baby, I'll be way over being pregnant and having more kids.
There are pros and cons to going either way, and neither one of us is exactly fired up about either option. But now, as it turns out, there could be yet another choice
Meet the male birth control pill.
For the first time ever, scientists are reportedly cooking up a safe, effective and reversible hormonal male contraceptive — with several formulations expected to become available in the no-so-distant future.
The male pill could be swallowed orally on a daily basis, or men could get it in a patch or gel form, which would be applied to the skin. There's also an injectable version for an every-3-months option, or an implant version that just an annual process.
"It largely depends on how funding continues. The technology is there. We know how it would work," said Dr. Andrea Coviello, who is helping to test several male contraceptives at the Population Center for Research in Reproduction at the University of Washington in Seattle, to MSNBC.
The pill works essentially the same as it does for a woman — hormones are used to 86 sperm production.
One of the reported side effects is weight gain (welcome to our world, men).
The World Health Organization has been conducting studies that show men from around the world are in support of the idea and are anxious to see the pill hit the market.
In some countries, a low-cost, reversible male pill could hit the market in the next 3 years. But it seems as if there might be another 5 years before one is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Which, of course, means that this doesn't really help me at all. But it's a nice idea to think that women in my shoes will have more options in just a few years time.
Do you think your husband or partner would be willing to take the male birth control pill? Would it mean you'd refrain from getting your tubes tied or he could avoid being snipped?

Stock Crossings and Races on Road Reserve
(PDF, 160kb, opens new window)
In July 2008, after a lengthy period of public consultation, Council adopted a new Roading Bylaw which consolidated our Stock Droving, Parking and Traffic, and Speed Limit bylaws. It also includes new requirements such as the need for any new dairy conversion or expansion operating on opposite sides of the road to install a stock underpass, unless exempted by Council in some situations. In this brochure, we explain the new requirements under the Roading Bylaw relating to Stock Crossings and Races on Road Reserve.

Gaineswood to undergo restoration
Published: Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 16, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The Demopolis mansion Gaineswood will undergo a $524,000 restoration project next year to keep water from seeping into the historical structure.
The scope of the work on Gaineswood will focus on restoring exterior woodwork such as siding and windows, roof repairs and drainage on the site.
The antebellum mansion, designated a National Historic Landmark, was built between 1843 and 1861.
Were trying to keep the water out from all areas," said Mae Washington, architect with the Alabama Historical Commission, which operates Gaineswood as a museum.
Work is being done through the architectural firm Lord, Aeck, Sargent, Architecture Inc. to examine the condition of the building and site, identify leaks and other problems and consider how best to approach the repairs.
In April, the architectural firm will submit a plan to the Alabama Historical and the Alabama Building commissions for review. The final design for the work should be completed in early August; construction should begin in January 2008.
Restoration work will take an estimated five months to complete, but Washington did not anticipate the building would have to be closed to visitors for repairs.
The project is being funded by a $260,000 grant from Save Americas Treasures and a $264,000 match from the National Park Service. This project will mark the most recent major restoration of Gaineswood since work on the domed areas of the building in 2002.
Washington said though the repairs are necessary to maintain the interior of the building, restoration work will likely be invisible to visitors.

QUEER NOT COOL: Women We Love
QUEER NOT COOL loves ladies...and ladies who love ladies!
This month our theme is WOMEN WE LOVE - heroines, icons, and just all around strong and kick-ass women including actor/comedian/filmmaker BRUCE BUNDY (aka Octavia in "The Hunger Games"!!!), author & librarian SHAWN(TA) SMITH ("Rivers of Honey" cabaret), a performance from the new musical LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON and our returning champion, the very funny (and male) DAVID SMITHYMAN. Plus music by Brooklyn songstress SARAH FACTOR!
Hosted by ROB RIBAR
This month features...
Bruce is an actor, performer and filmmaker based in Brooklyn. She hosts a monthly variety show at Jimmy's 43 in the East Village, "The Witching Hour," makes films like "The Greggs" and "The Mud."
An excerpt from the upcoming musical, "Lesbian Love Octogon: A Musical Comedy About Dyke Drama"
Actor LAUREN SAPIENZA will sing "Oh, Pat Califia," accompanied by WILL LARCHE on piano.
Set in the late 90s on the Lower East Side of New York City, LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON follows the journey of Sue, a less than butch dyke with a broken heart, as she tries to cope with losing her girlfriend to her ex-girlfriend. When Sue's friends (a bevy of ex-girlfriends and ex-girlfriends' ex-girlfriends) come rushing to her aid, they incite a tempest of lust and betrayal as they try to convince Sue that the answer to happiness exists in polyamory, pomade, and online personals. A riotous look at a righteous time in lesbian history, LESBIAN LOVE OCTAGON is a musical for anyone who has ever loved wimmin's bookstores, tofu or cats.
A lesbian separatist, writer, archivist, reference librarian, and editor of the "Her Saturn Returns" blog and book, will read an excerpt of her work. Smith is a collective member of the Lesbian Herstory Archives, and the WOW Cafe Theater, where she co-produces "Rivers of Honey," a monthly Cabaret highlighting the art of women of color.
David performs at clubs and bars around the city, and co-hosts and produces his own monthly comedy show "We're Nice People!," now in its second year. David divides his time between writing jokes, reading comic books, and teaching stand-up comedy at Gotham Comedy Club.

Didn't satiate your bridezilla fix with Kate Hudson's lackluster made-in-Boston "Bride Wars" flick? Don't fret. There's a new wedding-themed production in the works.
Producers of "The Bachelor" and "Wife Swap" have put a new twist on relationship-based reality shows for the upcoming CW series called "For Better Or Worse." Following a couple on the verge of tying the knot, the Herald reports that crews were in town filming last week at The Saint located at 90 Exeter St. and up and down Commonwealth Avenue near Boston University.
The show takes an unmarried couple in a long-term relationship and gives them the "ultimatum of a lifetime." Presented with the option of an all-expense-paid wedding at the end of the week, the duo has the choice to say "I do" or "I don't" after spending a week with family and friends hashing out the nuptials.
The CW has ordered six episodes of the wedding-theme series with at least one hour-long edition set in Boston.

How Does Revenge Season 2 Compare To Season 1?
We're almost halfway through Revenge's second season, and the time has come to bust out your inner TV critic.
Revenge premiered on ABC in a terrible time slot with little promotion, but thanks to critical acclaim and faithful viewers, it became an instant sensation. The first season was full of twists, turns, glamorous fashion, and the genius acting chops of Madeleine "Mohican Lover" Stowe (who even earned a Golden Globe nod for her role as Victoria Grayson) –– so as you might expect it scored an A+ with fans.
But now we're in Revenge's second season, and the good news? The show is better than ever! Thanks to brilliant writing and dynamic acting, Revenge hasn't suffered a sophomore slump –– but the real question: Is Season 2 as good as Season 1?
Emily's web of lies is even more deliciously tangled than ever, and almost all of the characters have developed leaps and bounds. Especially Declan, who has finally learned how to speak in a normal accent. Then again, part of us miss the simple days of Season 1, when Emily was having a love affair with her red Sharpie.
What do you think, revengers? How does Revenge Season 2 compare to Season 1?

India is emerging as one of the leading solar PV markets in the world as the country is blessed with immense potential for solar energy as most of the states have more than 300 sunny days and the specific average annual solar energy yield in India is estimated between 1700 - 1900 kWh per kWp. Indian Solar power has the potential to generate 50,000 MW which would be enough to meet over 5% of power requirement by 2022.
Solar power has emerged as one of the key renewable sources and presents an exciting opportunity for India. In past few years, the solar PV industry has experienced substantial growth primarily driven by favourable policies of central and state governments to support its development. The Gujarat State Solar Policy and the Centre's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) are at the forefront of solar power development in India. As a result, power generation capacities from solar have increased from 20 MW in FY'2011 to nearly 940 MW in FY'2012 and by June 2012 it crossed 1 GW. Most of the installed capacity over 600 MW comes from Gujarat.
States like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Maharashtra are emerging as more prominent future PV installation destination for developers and installers. These states have taken positive steps and introduced their own solar programmes as well as FITs, or are expected to announce their solar ambitions in the course of this year to exploit their solar potential.
Along with grid connected solar PV installation, Indian PV market represent huge potential for off-grid application too. The JNNSM programme targets off-grid electrification about 200 MW expected by 2013, 1 GW by 2017 and a cumulative installation over 2 GW until 2022. This exhibits huge potential market for off-grid, stand along and hybrid systems. This market segment that is quite specific to emerging markets could kick-off PV installations faster than expected.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan Gets New Triangle Tattoo — What Does It Mean? (PHOTO)
Lindsay Lohan went under the needle this weekend and came out with a brand new tattoo. Thankfully for us, LiLo documented the whole process via social media.
In the first tat getting photo, we see Lindsay in black and white, head bent, seemingly in pain, as tattoo artist Staino focuses in on her upper arm.
Next, she unveils the body art: "ok here's the final product, from me to you - xL," she tweeted alongside a photo of a simple triangle design. Posted on her website, the pic includes a diagram of what the sketch means to LiLo: truth, authority, oneness, power, courage, love, and intelligence.
"Wanted you guys to see it first. Feeling good and love you <3 L," she adds, an encouraging message seeing as Lindsay's just recently out of rehab.
The 27-year-old actress is no stranger to getting ink.
She has a number of song lyrics and famous sayings written on her body including "Stars, all we ask for is our right to twinkle," a play on a quote attributed to the famous starlet Marilyn Monroe. There's also "Shhh…" written on her finger and "Live without regrets" on her wrist.
Let's hope LiLo feels that same way about this latest permanent addition.

The cultivation of huitlacoche, a fungus known as corn smut in the U.S., is skyrocketing, as urban Mexicans regain an appreciation of foods native to their country.
CHAPINGO, Mexico — At this time of year, when corn grows high, some farmers go into their fields hoping a disease has infected their crops.
They inspect for swollen husks, a telltale sign that a parasitic fungus has spread into a spongy iridescent mass inside the ears.
The farmers are pleased, for the fungus is one of the greatest delicacies of the Mexican kitchen. It's been called the Mexican truffle, and a "food of the gods." The unique, earthy taste has been part of local cuisine since Aztec times.

Most Read Stories
The name of the fungus in the indigenous Nahuatl language is huitlacoche (weet-la-KOH-chay). Its real name is infinitely sweeter sounding than the English version: corn smut. That moniker is a slur to huitlacoche's complex flavors and defamation of its culinary properties.
"It's completely different from other fungus. There are Ph.D.s here trying to figure out why its taste is so special," said Clemente Villanueva, a geneticist at the Autonomous University of Chapingo, a top agricultural school in the same valley as Mexico City.
Production skyrockets
The cultivation of huitlacoche is skyrocketing, as urban Mexicans are regaining an appreciation of foods native to their country. Once a haphazard if tasty infestation, huitlacoche is being farmed commercially, with farmers injecting spores of the fungus into immature cornstalks.
The fungus ruins the corn for human consumption, but it sells for much more than the corn, which can be used to feed livestock. As a result, huitlacoche production has climbed fourfold in the past five years, Villanueva said.
"Before, it was seen as a food of the poor. Now it's the food of the rich," said Raúl Nieto Ángel, the dean of the crop-sciences department at the university, which extensively tests and researches huitlacoche.
Chefs at swank restaurants are rekindling a traditional love for the fungus.
"It is very exquisite," said Rodrigo Flores, chef at the Hacienda de los Morales restaurant in Mexico City's upscale Polanco district. "Demand for it is rising every day. … In our restaurant, we consume 2 tons of it a year."
In recent decades — before huitlacoche took off — the fungus largely was sautéed with garlic, onions and poblano strips and served by street vendors in quesadillas, folded-over corn tortillas.
Then cooks realized its flavor would make nearly any dish sensational. Restaurants sometimes offer it with beef, fish, in crepes with chipotle sauce, with eggs, in cream soups or with shrimp.
"It is so rich in flavors, that it can become the central element in a main dinner," Flores said.
Seen in the fields, huitlacoche makes one want to run and hide.
"It's this kind of puffy mushroom, a bluish-grayish color, that will kind of take over an ear of corn. It looks sort of alien and otherworldly when you actually see it," said Lesley Tellez, an American who writes a food blog and operates Eat Mexico, a business that offers culinary tours of Mexico City.
She described the taste as "mushrooms on steroids" but added: "It's not really like any other mushroom you've tasted. It's really unique."
Connoisseurs look for it fresh in markets when it's still spongy, rather than flaccid. They don't wash it before cooking, to avoid flushing away the succulent black spores.
Hurried to market
Mexico's pre-Columbian inhabitants savored the fungus. But like chefs today, they struggled to classify it. The ancient Aztecs called it a mushroom, while the Maya put it in the same food category as meat. Some ancient peoples said it had curative properties for stomach ulcers.
What scientists have learned more recently is that the fungus is rich in lysine and tryptophan, the two key amino acids that most corn lacks. When eaten together with corn, it creates a more complete range of amino acids for protein synthesis, Villanueva said.
Huitlacoche is endemic to six states of central Mexico, where airborne or soil-borne spores infect the tender parts of the corn plant, taking from 12 days to nearly a month to mature, depending on climate and elevation.
Once it's harvested, farmers hurry the fungus to market.
"It is very perishable. It is as fragile as a strawberry," Villanueva said. "If you keep it at 4 degrees (Celsius, or 39 degrees Fahrenheit), it can keep for nine days."
Baskets piled with fungus surrounded Lilia Simon Bravo as she attended to clients at Mexico City's largest produce market, Central de Abastos. She ripped the husks off pregnant-looking corn, bloated by the huitlacoche, and said the taste of that produced in her native Puebla state was unrivaled.
"This has not been injected. It is natural," she said. "It is really excellent."
Agronomists have learned to use large syringes to inject a liquid rich with huitlacoche spores into immature corn, essentially seeding it. Under the right conditions, farmers can produce 1or 2 tons of huitlacoche an acre. Villanueva said that in irrigated greenhouses, researchers got as much as 12 tons an acre.
No legal status — yet
Huitlacoche doesn't enjoy legal status as a special food. Unlike French Champagne and Camembert cheese, Italian prosciutto, Florida orange juice, Idaho potatoes and Vidalia onions, all of which enjoy some legal status requiring production within a limited geographic area, anyone who knows how can harvest and sell huitlacoche.
This is a sore subject at the university, where experts say Mexico fails to protect a culinary treasure.
Already, agronomists from Uruguay and the United States have inquired about huitlacoche production, and farmers near Morelia are shipping the fungus to Japan.
Canned huitlacoche is available in specialty and ethnic markets in the United States and many other countries but the taste, at best, is a shadow of the fresh stuff.
Nonetheless, at a dinner in Beijing where the Mexican hostess offered chicken breast stuffed with huitlacoche — made with the canned variety, which she'd hand-carried from her homeland — the fungus brought gasps of pleasure from exalted diners.
Tellez said foreign diners should overcome the "ick factor" and give it a try as an exotic food.
"This is something that has existed in the Americas for so long. It's unique. It's different," she said. "It's something you'll only find in Mexico, and that gives it some cachet."

By Ken Hupp - 67AM KPUA News
The West Hawaii Association of Realtors Affiliate Night will be held tonight at the Hale Hālāwai Pavilion on Alii Drive in Kailua-Kona. The private mahalo party, set for 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., was originally scheduled to be held in the Events Pavilion at Makaeo Park, also known as Old Airport Park. However, the Makaeo Events Pavilion remains temporarily closed while volunteers from the IRONMAN organization complete a community-service project at the facility.

Every now and then we will find AncestryDNA users posting their experience of discovering their DNA results. We love seeing the stories on Facebook, videos and blogs going up online and sharing the AncestryDNA experience. We saw one such video online from Matt S. and thought it would be a good idea to respond to him with a video from us. Watch below his live reaction to him looking at his result for the first time, and then watch my video response to his questions.
It's fun to learn about each other and how the AncestryDNA test can impact our lives as we continue to discover more about our own story.
Now it's your turn. Share your story with us here. Haven't taken a DNA test? Learn more about AncestryDNA.

I'm confused about my DNA results. Was this from my father as well as my mother. I definitely know that my mothers father was of French descent and France did not show up in my results.
Brenda Wherker
I took the DNA test, and there were some surprises for me as well. My question: My brother lives in Korea, but is not a member of Ancestry. The same with my children. Their father passed away in 1994, and it goes without saying they are interested in the DNA test as well as my brother. I cancelled my membership, but need to get back to adding and looking up new information, I miss Ancestry!! Will my brother and my children have to join Ancestry in order to take the DNA test? Your assistance is very much appreciated!!
2nd question….I also have the same question as Brenda Wheeler. Does the DNA cover both my father and mother?
I have British Isles, Western European ethnicity but the big surprises were Caucausus (1%), Iberian (2%). Could these be from Roman soldiers who came to the British Isles and left their genes? Or do you have other theories?
I also have Finnish/Northern Russia (1%), which is also common in the British Isles. Any theories on that? Just came along with the Vikings?
I am curious about those very small percentages that show up in people's DNA, 1%-2% for example. That says to me that these genes are very old, correct? So can it be generalized as to how many generations back these genes may have come from? And thus they might pre-date any historical or documentary evidence allowing us to trace back that far??
At this time the only details known about my 95 year old grandfather's family history are that his parental grandparents immigrated from Lithuania and his maternal grandparents immigrated from Poland. I recently tested him. What is exciting is the results are showing matches that would be linked through his currently unknown grandparents who lived in Eastern Europe.
To learn more visit my research blog: http://murosky-ancestral-lines.blogspot.com/2014/06/bridge-to-past-dna-testing-our-oldest.html
Hi. I received my results back. It appears that I have several sub-Saharan African regions in my results. In particular, Ghana/ Ivory Coast. I was wondering if this is a strong correlation to the Akan people. Also will Ancestry one day provide a reference panel where examples were collected or a specific African tribal breakdown for the customers or the people used in the reference pattern?
I also just recieved my dna results….being adopted,how doma I figure out if the cousin matches are from my father's side or my mother's side of the family?

Dear Friends of RapidMiner,
First things first – our apologies to everyone. We didn't fully anticipate the absolute crush of people interested in downloading the new version of RapidMiner and our new website collapsed repeatedly on launch day. We're shoring things up. Thanks for your patience.
We're also making some changes to further clarify things for our open source community members. We consider you an important part of our family and we're so sorry for any confusion. We are absolutely positively continuing to support the open source community with free editions of RapidMiner. Here's how:
- Everything currently free stays free.
- The Starter edition is free and not time-limited. The Starter edition supports up to 1 Gb of memory, and Excel and CSV data sources.
- The free trial of RapidMiner Professional reverts to our free RapidMiner Starter after 14 days. Again, the Starter edition is always free.
- Whenever we release a new major version, all previous versions become open source. So that means that RapidMiner 5 stays open source (free) now that we have released version 6. And, when 7 is released, 6 becomes free and so on.
That means that we have now two options for our academic and price-savvy users: You can continue to work with previous versions under an open source license for free, or you could use the Starter edition of the latest RapidMiner for free. In addition, there will be a dedicated Academic version of the Professional edition coming later this year.
Thanks so much for your patience with us. We're working hard to bring good things to both the commercial and open source communities and we're glad we can count on you to let us know when we wander from the true path.
Best regards,

Despite the fact that we are in the biggest recession in probably 40 years, crime keeps declining nationwide. Not only is it declining, it is dropping fast. For example, BusinessWeek just ran a story stating that the murder rate in New York City is set to hit a 46-year low this year. The AP is also reporting that across the nation killings have dropped by 10 percent over the last year, other violent crime has declined by 4.4 percent, and property crime has declined by 6.1 percent, despite high unemployment and foreclosures.
The guys at the Freakonomics blog at the New York Times note that the link between the economy and crime is tenuous at best even though many criminologists believe the link to be strong.
Former LA Police Chief, William Bratton, had this to say:
Police have gotten much better at analyzing numbers and responding quickly. Los Angeles has been in an economic downturn almost two years ahead of the country and is now in its eighth straight year of crime decline.
In other words, the "puzzling" crime decline is not magic at all—and not tied to the economy. It is the result of hard-working police officers, command staff, and analysts, who have—over the past 30 years or so—implemented community-based programs, more effective analysis techniques, and accountability and tracking measures, like Bratton's CompStat.
Good work guys, and thanks for your service.

Hillary Clinton linked to missing State Department Billions
Billions missing from the State Department under Hillary Clinton? What difference at this point does it make!? Six billion is reportedly missing, and Hillary Clinton reportedly wrote a check worth $50 million for 'services performed' under the State Department, that no one can find. The paperwork for Hillary Clinton's $50 million 'services rendered' was misplaced. Under Hillary, the Iraq Embassy in Baghdad us missing $2 billion alone that was allocated for it's construction.
|Hillary Clinton linked to missing State Department Billions
http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2014/04/19/hillary-clinton-linked-missing-state-department-billions/Corruptionhillary clintonCorruption,hillary clinton
But Hillary Clinton has bigger problems than a few billion dollars missing: It has now come out that her 2008 presidential campaign was illegally funded by businessman Jeffrey Thompson, with Clinton crony and former DNC chief Minyon Moore pulling the strings.
But there's more: court documents show that Thompson illegally funded dozens of campaigns—and guess who he supported in 2012? You guessed it: Barack Hussein Obama.

Butler (1-3) vs. William & Mary (3-2)
Holiday Inn & Suites Express Midtown Thanksgiving Tournament
Saturday, Nov. 29 - 7:00 p.m. ET
The Pit - ALbuquerque, N.M.
The Opening Tip: Butler concludes the Holiday Inn & Suites Express Midtown Thanksgiving Tournament in the consolation game on Saturday (Nov. 29) when it takes on William & Mary beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. MT) at The Pit in Albuquerque, N.M. The Bulldogs will try to rebound from a 67-54 tournament-opening defeat at the hands of Nebraska on Friday (Nov. 28) when it battles the Tribe for just the second time in school history.
The Bulldogs At A Glance: Butler carries a 1-3 record on the year into Saturday's contest against the Tribe after falling to Nebraska, 67-54, on Friday (Nov. 28). A trio of post players has provided the bulk of the Bulldogs' scoring and rebounding this year, with junior forward Melanie Thornton (14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds), senior center Lade Akande (13.5, 6.3) and junior forward Susan Lester (7.8, 3.8) ranking as the top three on the team in both categories. Senior guard Candace Jones and sophomore guard Brittany Bowen have been the top perimeter scorers, with both averaging 4.0 points per game, while rookie guard Devin Brierly has averaged 3.3 points per contest and posted team-highs with three treys and eight assists. Senior forward Tara Miller (2.8 ppg), sophomore guard Terra Burns (2.8) and senior guard Candyce Brown (2.5) have each added to the perimeter offense, while sophomore guard Azjah Bass and sophomore forward Chloe Hamilton provide depth off the bench.
A Look At William & Mary: The Tribe enters Saturday's contest with a 3-2 overall record after falling to host New Mexico, 68-51, on Friday (Nov. 28) evening at The Pit. Prior to last night, they had won three-straight, including a 98-38 drubbing of Norfolk State. William & Mary averages 62.6 points per contest and holds a 9.2 scoring edge over their opponents thanks in part to 6.4 three-pointers per game. Senior forward Dani Kell (11.4 points, 7.6 rebounds) and junior forward Tiffany Benson (10.0, 8.2) lead the team in scoring and rebounding, while freshman guard Janine Aldridge and senior guard Courtney Portell are the top perimeter shooters with nine three-pointers each.
The Match-Up: Butler and William & Mary have met only one other time in school history, with the Bulldogs claiming a 65-51 victory at the Coors Classic in Boulder, Colo., during the 2000-01 season.
The Last Time Out: Lade Akande scored a team-high 12 points and Melanie Thornton notched her second career double-double, but a late second-period surge by Nebraska broke-open what was a tightly-contested battle en route to a 67-54 decision over Butler in the Holiday Inn & Suites Express Midtown Thanksgiving Tournament on Friday (Nov. 28) afternoon. A wildly fast-paced affair that featured 10 lead changes throughout the duration had the Bulldogs in front by as many as six points early in the first half and down by as little as three midway through the second before the Huskers closed the game on a 19-9 run to pull away for the win.
Battle-Tested: Butler's game against Nebraska was the Bulldogs' third contest of the year against a team that reached postseason play in 2007-08. Before it's all said and done, Butler will take on eight such opponents this season, including Cleveland State, Dayton, Evansville, Green Bay, Indiana, Miami (Ohio), Nebraska and Ohio State.
Thorn-ton In Their Side: It may only be four games into the year, but junior forward Melanie Thornton is off to easily the best start of her career. After posting a career-best 18 points and seven steals against a tough Ohio State team on Nov. 14, the Carmel, Ind., native registered her first collegiate double-double at IPFW on Nov. 18, finishing with 12 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. She followed that performance by matching her season and career-high scoring total with 18 points against Dayton on Nov. 21 before picking up her second career double-double with 11 points and 10 boards against Nebraska on Nov. 28. Her 14.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per contest are tops on the team, while her 30.0 minutes played also lead the squad. Last season, Thornton averaged 3.0 points in 6.2 minutes of play per game.
...And Among The League's Best: Thornton's performance in the first four games not only has her ranked at the top of the team's stats but also have her among the best in the Horizon League. Thornton finds herself listed in the league's top-10 in six categories, including second-place rankings in rebounds and steals. She also ranks 10th in scoring.
Quite A Start: Through just four games this season, Melanie Thornton is over 80 percent of the way to matching her entire season scoring and rebounding totals from 2007-08. Her 59 total points are just 14 shy of matching her 73 scored last season, while her 39 rebounds are just eight away from her 47 boards as a sophomore. A big key to her success has been her increase in playing time, as her team-best 120 minutes played are only 28 short of her entire time on the floor last year (148).
Highway Robbery: Thornton's 16 steals in four games this season are easily the most on the team and are just five away from equaling the 21 picks she recorded in her entire first two seasons combined.
Moving Up The List: Senior Lade Akande continues her ascent up the Bulldogs' all-time scoring list. With 12 points against Nebraska on Nov. 28, the Robinson, Ill., native touts 1,414 points in her career, which ranks as the fifth-most all-time after passing both Sue Morris (1,375) and Beth Piepenbrink (1,378) a week earlier. She is now just 35 points away from passing Barb Skinner's fourth-place total of 1,448, set from 1980-83. Akande became just the 19th player in school history to notch 1,000 points in her career early last season and quickly climbed up to seventh by the end of the year. She also became the first non-senior player to reach 1,000 points in her career since Jennifer Marlow in 1997-98.
In Elite Company: Lade Akande not only ranks among the top Butler scorers, but she is also fourth on the Butler charts with 112 career blocks. Additionally, with 598 career rebounds, she is two boards shy of becoming just the fourth Bulldog player ever with at least 1,000 points, 600 rebounds and 100 blocks in her career. Akande currently ranks second on the team with 6.3 rebounds per game.
Next In Line?: In her third season with the team, sophomore Susan Lester has totalled 699 points in her career, the second most among Butler's active players.
A Sign Of Things To Come: Freshman guard Devin Brierly didn't waste too much time to get started on her college career. The Hanover, Ind., native notched her first collegiate points against Ohio State on Nov. 14 hitting her second three-point attempt of the game a little over three minutes after subbing in. Four days later at IPFW, she drained a pair of treys during a critical second-half stretch to finish with 10 points while helping the Bulldogs to their first win of the year. Brierly finished her prep career at Southwestern High School with 1,278 points - the fourth-most in school history - and was presented with the team's 3-Point Award all four seasons.
The Leading Candidate: Melanie Thornton has been the Bulldogs' top rebounder this season, leading the squad in all four games this year. Her 13 at IPFW were a career-high and are tied for the second-best single-game total in the Horizon League this year.
Crime Prevention: Opponents have not had much luck picking the pockets of the Bulldogs in their first three games of the year. Butler has averaged just 11.5 turnovers per game so far this season, including season-low nine at IPFW. The Bulldogs' average puts themselves at the top of the league standings in fewest turnovers per game and is 2.5 per game fewer than their next closest rival (UIC - 14.0 per game).
Effective Assistance: Butler's 1.1 assist-to-turnover ratio is second in the Horizon League and is just .07 behind league-leading UIC (1.17 to 1.10). The Bulldogs have dished 51 assists and allowed just 46 miscues on the year.
...From Effective Helpers: Four Bulldog players find themselves ranked in the Horizon League's top-10 list in assist-to-turnover ratio heading into Saturday's game. Devin Brierly leads the team and ranks sixth in the league with a 2.7 A/T ratio (8 assists, 3 turnovers) while Candyce Brown checks in at seventh with a 2.5 A/T ratio (5, 2). Azjah Bass (4, 2) and Brittany Bowen (2, 1), meanwhile, are both tied for eighth with a 2.0 AT ratio.
Perimeter Defense: The Bulldogs have held opponents to just 3.5 three-pointers per game this season, including an 0-for-9 effort from beyond the arc against Nebraska on Nov. 28.
National Attention: The Butler women's basketball team will get national attention later in the season, as the Bulldogs' game against Wright State on Feb. 6 will be broadcast live on ESPNU beginning at 9 p.m. at Hinkle Fieldhouse. It will be the fourth time in four seasons Butler will appear on the ESPN network. The Bulldogs' appearance in the 2007 Horizon League Championship game against Green Bay was broadcast live on ESPNU, while Butler's regular season road games against the Phoenix last spring and during the 2005-06 campaign were both carried on ESPNU.
Butler Basketball On The Web: Twenty-three of the Bulldogs' games this season will feature live streaming video online. The Horizon League Network will feature 21 of those contests, including all of Butler's home games and every league road game. Additionally, the Bulldogs' match at Indiana will be streamed at BigTenNetwork.com, while its contest at Ohio State last weekend was carried on the online network.
Hard To Miss: Lade Akande was not only one of the most effective scorers in the Horizon League last year, she was also one of the most efficient shooters in the nation. Akande finished last season with a .559 field goal percentage (204-for-365), the 17th-best in the Division I rankings.
National Recognition For Passing: Tara Miller found herself among the best in the country when it came to handling the ball during the 2007-08 campaign. She finished the season ranked second in all of the NCAA Division-I with a 2.84 A/T ratio, just three hundredths of a point behind national leader Kristi Cirone of Illinois State (2.87). Miller was ranked first or second nationally in A/T ratio from Jan. 14 to the end of the year, including a 25-day stint from Jan. 14 to Feb. 7 at the top of the NCAA charts. This season, she is tied for ninth in the Horizon League with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5.
Cleaning The Glass: Sophomore forward Susan Lester continued to be one of the best rebounders in the Horizon League in 2007-08 after finishing third in the league with 6.6 rebounds per game as a freshman. The Anderson, Ind., native finished second in the conference with 7.3 boards per game, posted nine or more rebounds on 12 occasions and totaled a team-best nine double-doubles.
Bring `Em Back: Butler returns 11 of 13 letterwinners from 2007-08, accounting for 91 percent of its scoring, 91 percent of its rebounding and 92 percent of its assists.
Talented Rookie Tandem: Butler newcomers Devin Brierly and Kaley May will both be expected to make significant contributions in their first seasons with the team. Brierly, a 5-9 guard from Southwestern High School in Hanover, Ind., was a McDonald's All-America nominee, while May, a 5-11 guard/forward from Avon (Ind.) High School, was also nominated for the national award.
Butler Tabbed Fifth In Preseason Poll: The Butler women's basketball team was picked to finish fifth in the Horizon League regular season this year according to the league's preseason poll. The Bulldogs received a total of 204 points in the poll as well as one first-place vote. Green Bay, last year's regular season champion, was the poll's top vote getter, garnering 284 total points and 24 of the 29 first-place ballots. Wright State (241 point, 1 first place vote) edged out Milwaukee (240, 2) for second place overall, while 2008 Horizon League tournament champion Cleveland State (228, 1) checked in at fourth-place.
Akande, Lester Earn Preseason Honors: For the fourth-straight season, a pair of Bulldogs earned spots on the Preseason All-Horizon League teams, as senior center Lade Akande was named to the all-league first team and junior forward Susan Lester was tabbed to the second team. Akande, a native of Robinson, Ill., earns mention on the preseason squads for the third-straight season, while Lester, a native of Anderson, Ind., receives the honor for the second time in as many years.
Crunching The Numbers: The Bulldogs' 20-10 overall mark in 2007-08 was the program's best single-season record since the 1997-98 team finished the year at 25-6. Butler's 20 victories were also the most in a single season during head coach Beth Couture's six years at the helm.
Bulldogs Ink Four For 2009-10: High school seniors Becca Bornhorst (6-1, F, Dublin, Ohio), Claire Freeman (5-9, G, Fishers, Ind.), Dragana Grbic (6-3, C, Terre Haute, Ind.) and Liz Jennings (6-1, F, Anderson, Ind.) each signed National Letters of Intent on the first day of the Early Signing Period. The quartet will attend Butler and play basketball beginning in the fall of 2009.
Next Up: Butler makes a quick stop in
Indianapolis before hitting the road once again when it travels to
Evansville, Ind., for an 8:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. CT) contest
against the Purple Aces on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

I have purchased at least 3 different phone cases included 2 that could charge my phone. I was about to give up when I read a review from a customer about this product. He/she did not exaggerate. This is by far the best storage/battery charger that I have seen so far. Moreover, it is sleek, beautiful and very high quality material. I highly recommend this product!
Posted by Sandy on 31st Jul 2013
The case is nice and works great/
Posted by Lara on 11th Jun 2013
Extended the life of my battery by 3 fold! Fits snug around my Samsung Galaxy S3. Leather flip cover (a bonus) is nice a sturdy. Protection a plus. The flip out stand is a little worrysome (if I use it at all). With just the push of the power button on the charger, you can charge your phone in about 1 hr.

Took me a while to figure it out (longer yet to remove phone from my Otter Defender). Great back up/extended power and quality look for Samsung Galaxy3.
Posted by alex quiroz on 29th May 2013
I love this case,it has great style & looks nice & also great backup battery power to charge my phone,The only dislike I have is the front cover flap doesn't stay closed,I wish it would of been magnetic or have some kind of closing device to keep it closed... But I still recommend it highly.
Posted by Unknown on 25th May 2013
Great product Love it!!!
Posted by Josh on 22nd May 2013
The main reason I bought this is for the extra time without charging my phone constantly. Although I've only had it a short while I live the battery life. Another good thing is the fact u can charge the case, without having the phone in it, and it looks great.
Posted by Pam on 14th May 2013
I purchased this case a month or so ago and am really in love with it. So far I have actually had 3 of my friends and 2 of my family members purchase this exact same case with Outedge after they seen mine. Highly recommend. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Posted by Raymond on 27th Apr 2013
This case has a really nice eye catching design and is very powerful. For the price, I would not pass this thing up. I am buying one for my wife today...
Posted by Jared on 26th Mar 2013
I previously had purchased the mophie Galaxy S3 battery case but it finally stopped working after months of use. Instead of purchasing another one, I decided to shop around to see what else is out there. I came across this battery case and found it had a much stronger battery and a much lower price. I decided to purchase and am glad I did. This case definitely has a nicer design and is way more powerful. I feel like this case actually protects my phone more than the mophie one did. If your looking for the best battery case around for Galaxy S3 look no further!
