The concept that stressful life events may
render one vulnerable to psychiatric disease
has been a mainstay of the psychiatric literature
for more than a century. This idea was
initiated, in part, by the pioneering work of Sigmund
Freud,who used psychoanalytic methods to explore
the relationship between stressful life events and
psychopathology. These concepts slowly evolved
into more biologically based theories with the early
work of Hans Selye, who studied the relationshipbetween stress, illness, and emotions. The occurrence
of depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric
symptoms in both Cushing and Addison diseases,
which are associated with excessive or markedly
reduced levels of circulating glucocorticoids, respectively,
served as a further impetus for researchers
to scrutinize hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)
axis function in psychiatric disorders.
HPA axis abnormalities
in depression
Evidence linking HPA axis abnormalities and psychiatric
symptoms dates back over 100 years, and
numerous studies have been conducted in this area.
Some of the earliest controlled clinical studies in
psychiatry, dating back to the 1950s, demonstrated
a number of abnormalities in glucocorticoid (ie, cortisol)
function in depressed patients, including elevated
plasma cortisol concentrations,1,2 increased 24-hour
urinary free cortisol concentrations, and increased
levels of cortisol metabolites in urine.3 Elevated cortisol
secretion in depression is among the most reproducible
findings in all of biologic psychiatry.
Structural changes in the components of the HPA
axis have also been documented in depressed
patients, including pituitary gland enlargement
demonstrated by MRI4 and enlargement of the adrenal
glands, presumably due to adrenocorticotropic
hormone (ACTH) hypersecretion in depressed
patients postmortem5,6 and in suicide victims.7 The
adrenal gland enlargement seen in depression has
been confirmed using MRI, and it appears to be
state-dependent,8,9 waxing and waning in parallel
with exacerbation and resolution of depressive
symptoms, respectively.
Corticotropin-releasing factor
Although Saffran and colleagues10 identified a crude
extract that promoted the release of ACTH from the
pituitary in 1955, the ultimate regulator of ACTH
and cortisol release--corticotrophin-releasing factor
(CRF)--was not isolated and chemically characterized
until 1981. Working with extracts derived
from 500,000 sheep hypothalami, Vale and
colleagues11 at the Salk Institute isolated, synthesized,
and elucidated the structure of CRF. This
discovery led to the availability of synthetic CRF,
which allowed for a comprehensive assessment of
the HPA axis. Based on findings from numerous
studies, it is clear that CRF coordinates the endocrine,
immune, autonomic, and behavioral responses of
mammals to stress (Figure).12,13
In the hypothalamus, CRF is synthesized primarily
in the parvocellular neurons of the paraventricular
nucleus (PVN). These PVN CRF neurons receive input from a variety of brain regions, including
the amygdala, the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis,
and the brain stem.14 Hypothalamic CRFcontaining
neurons project to the median eminence.15

OKLAHOMA CITY – If you haven't already, you're probably about to start holiday shopping. Have you talked to your children about the value of money and the importance of managing it wisely? All parents hope that their children will grow up to make prudent use of their money, yet few actually spend time talking to them about how to accomplish these goals, a new study has found. According to the American Institute of CPAs, parents are more likely to have talked with their children about good manners, smart eating habits, the importance of good grades, the dangers of drugs and alcohol and the risks of smoking than about sensible spending. The holiday season offers plenty of opportunities to educate your kids.
If you're not sure how to get started, the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants (OSCPA) has this advice.
Make it fun. Help your children create colorful charts that monitor their progress or illustrate the chores they can do around the house to earn money. Suggest that your child draw a picture of what he or she is saving for and use it to decorate the piggy bank or jar holding the savings.
See another tip in news now tomorrow.

Sniper-aiding app arrives for iPhone
iShot the sheriff
The iTunes App Store has brought iPhone owners many useful and useless applications. But now one's available that'll let any idiot with a sniper rifle take out enemies with ease.
BulletFlight brings rifle support to the iPhone
Runaway Technology's BulletFlight is described as a "ballistic computer" that provides you with all the information required to derail a presidential cavalcade.
For example, it'll help you set-up a shot according to your target's distance, the wind speed, your altitude and the air pressure. Modes for ballistics calculations and bullet weight also feature.
So, provided you set things up correctly, your target won't stand a chance.
Exactly how the app communicates with your chosen weapon is unclear, but - according to a weapons blog - a mounting system's in development that'll let you fix your iPhone or iPod Touch to the side of an M100 rifle.
Set-up your shot with ease
For lazy assassins, the app even has pre-set profiles for three rifles: the M110, the SR16 and the KAC PDW.
The BulletFlight app is available through the iTunes App Store now, priced at £7 ($11/€8). Bullets not included. ®

A triple cheeseburger, a birthday cake shake, and two full servings of poutine walk into a restaurant--and proceed to totally ruin your life. The end.
What started off as the send-up to a cheap joke quickly turned into my worst nightmare Thursday night at Bad Happy Poutine, at 939 N. Orleans. RedEye dispatched me to the four-month-old Near North Side restaurant under simple orders: Take the restaurant's Triple Double Challenge, which involves consuming all of the above items in under 30 minutes, write about it and try not to die in the process.
"I ask everybody on camera before we do it what is your name and what makes you this crazy," Bad Happy chef/owner Tom Kern told me.
Hi, my name is Matt and I'm doing this because this is my job.
I should've known better when Kern told me he'd never in a million years attempt what I was about to.
"I said what would be totally impossible for anyone to eat and I was like OK, a triple burger, two full poutines and a milkshake with one half hour to do it," Kern said. "It seems fair enough to do."
But ...
"I would never try it," he added.
Succeed and I would win a free meal, a T-shirt and a spot on their wall of fame. Fail and not only would I be expected to pay for my meal, but I'd also have to sign a sticker that would go up on their wall acknowledging that I failed this challenge for all the world to see. It all seemed so easy on the surface. Then he told me the success rate--only four of the 24 people who attempted said challenge succeeded.
Um ...
"There's been a lot of people, especially in the very beginning, where we bring out this gigantic tray and they're like--what did I do?' " he said.
Those were my thoughts exactly when Kern dropped the tray in front of me. I figured this would be a piece of cake (pun intended) since I barely ate a thing all day and am hardly a small person.
The clock started, I dug in, and any semblance of table manners I had previously acquired went flying out the window. I was grabbing anything and everything in sight, shoveling stuff into my mouth like a madman possessed, determined to buck the statistical trend that suggested I didn't stand a chance against my formidable foe. Photographer Lenny Gilmore stood in front of me, alternating between taking pictures and laughing at the spectacle.
"Take everything apart and mush it back together," Kern advised me before everything went down. "Spread everything out and go for it and drink the shake last."
I heeded his advice and six minutes in, I was cruising. I crushed more than half the burger and ¼ of the fries. My stomach felt good and victory suddenly didn't seem so far away. This is cake, I thought, and yes the pun is very much intended there.
Then suddenly, inexplicably, I started feeling drunk.
Nobody spiked my burger or my milkshake. I'll never be able to explain what happened to anyone who hasn't attempted the challenge themselves, but right around six minutes, I started feeling drunk. Maybe it was the sheer volume of grease that I had just forced down my throat or maybe my brain had activated the fight-or-flight response that instinctually kicks in when you find yourself in a dangerous situation, but whatever it was, I had begun losing control of my mental faculties.
Time began to stand still. The more I ate, the slower the seconds ticked by, much to Kern's delight.
"Basically I love watching people do dumb stuff," he told me, and despite the fact that I have two college degrees, what I was doing at this moment in time was definitely "dumb stuff."
Much like marathoners hit a wall, so too do people taking part in eating competitions. Mine happened right around the 15-minute mark, with one full serving of poutine and half of the final burger patty remaining on my plate. I began wiggling my hips, taking sips of water, literally anything to coax the food lower into my intestines.
Nothing worked.
Much to the small crowd's dismay, I was only able to coax a few small bites of the carnage that was left on my plate in the waning minutes of the challenge. Kern himself wasn't surprised. After all, he said it's usually the skinny guys who dominate this competition.
"Doing food challenge research, it was mostly the skinny people that can do it because they don't have that layer of extra stuff that I do and so they can expand their stomach further," he said.
And with my stomach expanded as far as it was going to go, I signed my sticker acknowledging defeat and stuck it to the wall. Kern and his wife graciously covered my tab despite my defeat.
After all, their challenge isn't for the faint of heart--literally.
"Almost every person who comes in says 'yeah, I'm doing it,' and I say 'well let me show you a video of someone else doing it and then make that decision,'" Kern said. "It doesn't do me any good to promote it or try to deny it for anybody, but I want people to know what they're getting into."

The Gators added another important piece to their 2014 recruiting class when forward Devin Robinson announced his commitment.
Florida added another important piece to its 2014 recruiting class when forward Devin Robinson announced his commitment to the Gators on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-8, 180-pound Robinson, from Chesterfield, Va., is a five-star recruit according to Rivals.com and a four-star recruit according to ESPN.com. Scout.com rates Robinson, a Christchurch (Va.) School standout, as the fifth-best power forward in the 2014 class. Robinson has averaged 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in his past two seasons.
"Coach (Billy) Donovan has a record of developing his players and helps get them to the NBA," Robinson told ESPN.com. "That's my ultimate goal."
With Nick Calathes (Memphis Grizzlies) and Erik Murphy (Chicago Bulls) making opening day rosters, Florida currently has 12 players in the NBA entering the 2013-14 season. That's tied with UCLA and Connecticut for fifth most, behind only Kentucky (22), Duke (15), North Carolina (15) and Kansas (13).
Robinson is UF's fourth commit of the 2014 class and first forward, joining shooting guard Brandone Francis (6-5), point guard Chris Chiozza (5-10) and preferred walk-on guard Zach Hodskins (6-4).
Robinson projects as a combo small forward/power forward and should fit in well in UF's running, pressing style.
"He's that new age, hybrid forward who at 6-foot-8 can put the ball on the floor, pass and shoot," said Scout.com national recruiting analyst Evan Daniels. "He's got terrific hands and he's very athletic."
Daniels also said that Robinson showed tremendous improvement over the summer playing travel-league ball for the Richmond Squires.
"It was night and day," Daniels said. "His jump shot was more consistent. He was one of the better players in his class by the end of the summer."
Whether Robinson is bulky enough to play forward in the Southeastern Conference remains to be seen.
"He's very slender," Daniels said. "I don't see him putting on a ton of weight, but I see him putting on enough weight. With the way college strength programs are now, he should have no problem getting bigger."
Robinson visited the UF campus on Oct. 12, and Donovan followed it up with an in-home visit in Virginia the following week.
With Florida losing senior frontcourt players Casey Prather, Patric Young and Will Yeguete in 2014, Robinson should have a chance to get immediate playing time for the Gators when he arrives on campus.
"It's a good fit for him and for Florida, considering the style that they play and what he wants to do," Daniels said. "He's going to step in and I think contribute for them."
Young CLASS nominee
Florida senior center Patric Young was named as one of 60 nominees for the 2013-14 senior CLASS award, given to the Division I college basketball senior who excels most on and off the court.
Young is a two-time men's basketball SEC scholar athlete of the year (2012, 2013) who also takes time to visit sick children at area Gainesville hospitals.
Other big-name CLASS nominees include Ohio State point guard Aaron Craft, Memphis guard Joe Jackson, Syracuse forward C.J. Fair, Creighton forward Doug McDermott and Connecticut guard Shabazz Napier.

REGIONAL Rugby Wales (RRW) has launched a scathing attack on the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) as the bitter battle between the two sides shows no sign of abating.
RRW - the umbrella organisation which represents the Ospreys, Scarlets, Newport Gwent Dragons and Cardiff Blues - made it clear the regions could not sign an extension to a Participation Agreement with the WRU prior to Tuesday's deadline.
The decision was due to the Union being unable to guarantee critical areas such as revenue and competition structure given the ongoing uncertainty of the Heineken Cup.
The regions want the WRU to back their support for the Rugby Champions Cup (RCC) next season, a breakaway European competition initially put forward by the English and French clubs as an alternative to a Heineken Cup under the auspices of European Rugby Cup (ERC).
RRW gave the Union a January 31 deadline to support it or it would ''pursue further competition options''.
The Union's response had been to suggest it could form new professional teams in Wales, but on Thursday it said it was prepared to offer the regions a new deal, which is expected to be put forward on Monday.
However, the Union has since sent a letter to its 320 member clubs on the impasse regarding the Participation Agreement.
It is understood to re-affirm the Union's backing to ERC and suggests leaving their Irish, Scottish and Italian counterparts in the lurch would weaken the Six Nations.
The letter also made it clear the WRU will not give its blessing to an Anglo-Welsh league, which the regions are expected to pursue fully if no agreement is reached by the end of this month.
RRW's statement makes clear its desire to see the regions play in the RCC, stating any ERC tournament would be "an inferior competition".
It also accuses the WRU of "failing miserably" to secure revenue distribution on a par with clubs in England and France, and launching "vitriolic and disingenuous" attacks on the regions.
The RRW statement read: "The Rugby Champions Cup will bring the biggest increase of funding into the Welsh game in five years. It will increase funding to the Irish clubs and protect the Scottish clubs.
"Bringing in £12million in three years into the Welsh game does not threaten the Six Nations or bring about its demise.
"In only two months, the Welsh Regions have themselves, negotiated the biggest increase in funding for Welsh Rugby of the last five years and are simply asking the WRU as the governing body for support in this.
"The WRU not only has full responsibility, but is also contractually obliged to negotiate competition revenues and TV distribution revenues under the Participation Agreement.
"The WRU has failed miserably to negotiate equitable and fair revenue distribution for Welsh clubs in line with clubs in England and France."
It continued: "The ERC Accord finishes this year and the WRU's latest proposal for a replacement to exclude the English clubs includes six undefined French clubs and maintains an unequal distribution of revenue to the Welsh clubs.
"Given the other opportunities that now exist, it is an inferior competition. The proposed competition would only be available on Sky TV, not terrestrial television, as is the case with the existing European competition."
On the matter of forming an Anglo-Welsh competition with the 12 Aviva Premiership clubs, RRW added: "The Regions would question why the WRU are scaremongering about a break away.
"This has never been mentioned by the Regions who have only asked for positive support as outlined in their most recent statement of December 31.
"As stated then; it continues to be the absolute intent and strong desire of RRW and the Regions to work with the WRU in progressing such a positive position for the next five years of professional Rugby in Wales, or indeed to discuss any proposals WRU themselves may have that could provide an even stronger platform for sustainable and competitive professional rugby across Wales.
"It is incredulous to the Welsh Regions that the WRU refused to discuss any item in the current Participation Agreement before its deadline of 31st December but is now willing to offer a "new agreement" on different terms.
"Equally it is yet to be explained by the WRU why bringing an additional £12million into the game by the Regions, is not in the best interests of Welsh rugby."

Cinnamon Found To Be
Lethal Weapon Against
E. Coli O157:H7
Institute Of Food Technologists
When cinnamon is in, Escherichia coli O157:H7 is out. That's what researchers at Kansas State University discovered in laboratory tests with cinnamon and apple juice heavily tainted with the bacteria. Presented at the Institute of Food Technologists' 1999 Annual Meeting in Chicago on July 27, the study findings revealed that cinnamon is a lethal weapon against E. coli O157:H7 and may be able to help control it in unpasteurized juices.
Lead researcher Erdogan Ceylan, M.S., reported that in apple juice samples inoculated with about one million E. coli O157:H7 bacteria, about one teaspoon (0.3 percent) of cinnamon killed 99.5 percent of the bacteria in three days at room temperature (25 C). When the same amount of cinnamon was combined with either 0.1 percent sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate, preservatives approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the E. coli were knocked out to an undetectable level. The number of bacteria added to the test samples was 100 times the number typically found in contaminated food.
"This research indicates that the use of cinnamon alone and in combination with preservatives in apple juice, besides its flavoring effect, might reduce and control the number of E. coli O157:H7," concluded Ceylan, a Ph.D. graduate assistant at K-State. "Cinna-mon may help protect consumers against foodborne bacteria that may be in unpasteurized juices and may partially or completely replace preservatives in foods to maintain their safety," he said.
"If cinnamon can knock out E. coli O157:H7, one of the most virulent foodborne microorganisms that exists today, it will certainly have antimicrobial effects on other common foodborne bacteria, such as Salmonella and Campylobacter," noted Daniel Y.C. Fung, Ph.D., professor of Food Science in the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry at K-State, who oversaw the research.
Last year, Fung and Ceylan researched the antimicrobial effects of various spices on E. coli O157:H7 in raw ground beef and sausage and found that cinnamon, clove, and garlic were the most powerful. This research led to their recent studies on cinnamon in apple juice, which proved to be a more effective medium than meat for the spice to kill the bacteria.
"In liquid, the E. coli have nowhere to hide," Fung noted, "whereas in a solid structure, such as ground meat, the bacteria can get trapped in the fat or other cells and avoid contact with the cinnamon. But this cannot happen in a free-moving environment."
Regardless of the K-State findings, people who are at greater than normal risk for foodborne diseases-- namely the elderly, young children, or immune-compromised-- would be urged to avoid drinking unpasteurized juices or unthoroughly cooked hamburgers, which may contain harmful microorganisms.

My first impression was she looked (and consequently acts) similar to Taiga, but I did like Toradora and i'm liking Ookami-san to Shicinin no Nakama-tachi.
Though I dont have a "Prettiest" per sa, Ryoko would probubly make the top 10 list.
In the by; by, by, by
MissMauiJulia : Jesus Christ! Your reasons for twisting everything I say are what exactly?! First of all I NEVER said Shakespeare wrote in Old English, hence the fact they were seprate sentances and he was lumped with Dr.Suess and if anybody thought Dr.Seuss wrote in Old English they'd have to be slapped with a salmon. Second I never said that my explanations were how YOU have to use the words and you seem to be extremely self centered and think that when I say "society normally uses and interprets them that way" that society means you, which it does not. I never said anybody HAS to use or interpret it the same way, I personally could care as long as it gets the meaning across without sounding weird (such as a cut of steak being cute). Nor did I ever say you CANNOT call a baby attractive, I simply said most people would find it strange. Third, you seem to think that the explanations I gave are the ONLY ways I'm saying in which to use the words, which is not true, I simply gave examples. I simply meant to exemplify the fact that those words are in fact different/often interpreted differently. Fourth and last: If you dont like my example of authors fine, think about all of our online lingo, somebody had to make those words up, and we continue to fairly constantly and most people do in fact know what they mean. It doesn't have to be in a dictionary for people to know what they mean, it just has to be popular. All slang terms are just made up by average people and other people know what they mean. And just to cover my bases incase you're going to say that those don't count since they're not in the dictionary: You know how in todays day in age people take and use gay to mean homosexual? Well years ago (you obviously know this given you're older than me) it only meant "happy", somebody made up their own meaning for it and people understand what they mean a guess what, it's in the dictionary. Oh wait, In that example they only changed the meaning not made up a word? Ok well how about this, see all these words we're using right now that all of us understand that are in the dictionary? Well guess what, a long long long time ago, they were all made up by regular people! So don't even tell me that people other than authors can't make up words.
To the poster above me: is Toradora itself anything like Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi?
I'm gonna say Diva from Blood+. ^^

There's a difference between being "attractive", "pretty", "cute", and "beautiful."
I don't really see how, since they all pretty much mean the same thing: Another person likes the way you look.
Attractive is when you find somebody appealing for a potential partner (ex. a straight girl would not find another girl attractive, she might find her pretty (as in here), beautiful or maybe even cute depending on the context, but not attractive. A straight guy would be attracted to a girl who's attractive but he could think a girl is pretty without finding her attractive.)
Pretty is like I said in my original post, not attractive, not sexy, just pretty like art or fireworks or a fancy dress, you're not sexually attracted to a dress, therefore its pretty or beautiful but not attractive, or somebody's hair can look pretty, you wouldn't usually describe hair as attractive.
Cute can mean attractive, but not always. It usually means ur describing something like a baby animal, or something with kitty ears or big eyes or something thats fuzzy or having an appearance of a small child (normal people dont find them attractive, they find them cute, pretty, possibly beautiful. How many times have u walked up to someone holding a newborn baby and said to them "Your baby is so attractive" they'd think you're nuts)
Beautiful is just a higher more intensified version of pretty just as sexy is an intensified version of attractive.
Those may be your definition or explanation of what pretty, attractive, cute and beautiful mean but it may not be the same for other people. As people have different ideas as to what they find appealing to them. Look up any of the four words in a dictionary and they'll usually be synonyms with this term: "Pleasing or attractive to the eye." In order words, the a person likes the way another person looks.
Attractive doesn't always have the same meaning in terms of looks or arousal. Attractive generally means "having the quality of attracting." It could mean that a person can have an attractive personality or an an attractive mind or anything which may have an attraction towards you. Whatever it may mean is usually up to the person using the term at the time. That's why it's usually not correct to come up with your own meaning for these words, especially when another person has to interpret what it may fully mean for themselves and for other people.
Chikata's definitions are very close except sexy for what i use to define those terms. Dictionaries largely fail at expressions and forms of human emotions, understanding and feeling.
Anyway , the prettiest girl in anime to me:
Feldt from Gundam 00 after timeskip
There are very different characters i would choose for the traits cute and sexy
Well as I said before, because you both use it the same way doesn't mean others use it the same way. But it's not like you would have gotten than explanation by reading what I originally put down. Again, a dictionary is not suppose to tell you how to use words in form of human emotions and expressions. That would be too easy. It's suppose to give you the word, definition and an example of it's usage in a sentence. You -- the individual -- is suppose to figure out how you're suppose to use it for yourself.
no i agree with you. i just mistook some things you said.
in that post i just meant dictionaries a bad source a stuff like because they simplify billions of different humans's ideas into a few sentences i just didn't word it well enough.There is a different view by every person likely . for example even though Chitaka's and my views are close i disagree with her interpretation of sexy so we don't match up even though we are close.
i don't think our views on how people figure out what the definition mean to them is all that different. i just mistook what you were trying to say
I still would not put Feldt up on a sexiest or cutest anime girl topic though because i don't believe she is
since i interpret them as different things even if others don't
Well in the end it's only the person receiving the message who has to interpretative for themselves. As I said in the beginning, there is no difference between any of the words. They all mean the same thing: Another person likes the way you look. But apparent I have to use the term cute with babies and children and not attractive or pretty. And I have to use the term beautiful when describing objects not cute or pretty. Pretty much nonsense like that. It's all stupid anyway because what I deem cute might be different for another.

Costa Rica beats US 3-1 in World Cup qualifying
Johnny Acosta and Celso Borges scored early and Joel Campbell added a goal on a late counterattack as Costa Rica beat the visiting United States 3-1 Friday night at San Jose in a World Cup qualifier.
Avenging a March loss to the U.S. in a Colorado snow storm, Costa Rica ended the Americans' team-record 12-game winning streak — three short of the world mark set by Spain.
"Every time this process goes on it's never easy, always unpredictable," American midfielder Landon Donovan said after his first qualifier in 15 months. "There are a lot of ups and downs. We've been on ups recently, and now this is a down. We'll have to see how we recover and see what we're made of."
Clint Dempsey, making his 100th international appearance, converted a penalty in the 43rd minute for the U.S. and nearly leveled with a 20-yard shot off the post in the 56th.
"We were just disappointed in the way we came out," American goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "They got their fair share of luck and we didn't help ourselves."
Costa Rica moved into first place in the final round of qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean with 14 points, one ahead of the U.S. with three games remaining. Honduras is third with 10 points after a shocking 2-1 win at Mexico, which is fourth with eight points.
The top three nations qualify for next year's 32-team field in Brazil, and the fourth-place finisher goes to a playoff against New Zealand for another berth.
The Americans could clinch their seventh straight World Cup berth if they beat Mexico on Tuesday and Honduras wins or draws at home against Panama.
Jozy Altidore, Geoff Cameron, Matt Besler will miss the match after getting their second yellow cards in qualifying, which triggers an automatic one-game suspension. Altidore was given his for bumping Michael Umana in front of Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez during second-half injury time.
"It was absolutely not necessary," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "But it is what it is."
Midfielder Michael Bradley also figures to miss the Mexico match. Originally in the starting lineup, Bradley limped off the field during warmups after spraining his left ankle and was on crutches at the bench during the game. He was replaced by Cameron.
"Michael might be our most important player," Donovan said.
Dempsey became the 14th U.S. player to make 100 international appearances. Michael Orozco started at right back, his first qualifying appearance since Oct. 15, 2008, against Trinidad and Tobago.
Costa Rica attacked from the start, and Howard had to sprawl 85 seconds in to deflect an 8-yard shot from Bryan Ruiz.
Campbell's corner kick in the second minute went to the near post, where Acosta sent a header in off the head of DaMarcus Beasley.
Christian Bolanos then sent a long cross around Omar Gonzalez from Costa Rica's left flank, and Borges climbed over Beasley for a header to Howard's right from 6 yards.
Dempsey's penalty came after Graham Zusi played a long ball into the area in the 41st minute, and goalkeeper Keylor Navas tripped up Fabian Johnson. Dempsey's spot kick went in off Navas' body for his 36th international goal.
Altidore, who had scored in an American-record five straight games, didn't start after injuring his right hamstring during training with Sunderland but entered in the 71st, 13 minutes after Eddie Johnson.
Costa Rica scored the final goal after Altidore's shot was blocked by the defense. Jose Miguel Cubero played a long ball to Campbell, who beat Besler to the ball, held off the defender and slotted a shot past Howard.
"Unfortunately we fell asleep for one play and they got the goal," Donovan said.
Donovan earned his spot back on the team after a four-month sabbatical and a strong performance in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July.
"Qualifying is all about ups and downs. It's never going to be easy. It never is. Every time is hard," Donovan said. "So we've got to get ourselves recovered physically, recovered mentally, and we have to beat Mexico now on Tuesday."

GREER - The body of a soldier killed in Afghanistan was returned to the Upstate on Monday.
GREER — A guard of more than 100 motorcyclists and hundreds of residents turned out on Monday to pay their respects to a fallen soldier they didn't know.
U.S. Army Sgt. Channing "Bo" Hicks, 24, of Greer, was killed Nov. 16 in Afghanistan. His body was flown back to Greer via Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.
"He wanted to be a soldier since the day he was born," said his mother, Amy Shaulis, speaking to reporters at the airport while waiting for the chartered flight carrying her son's body to arrive. "He was a hero."
About 110 motorcyclists with the Patriot Guard turned out to meet the body at the airport and escort the family to Wood Mortuary.
Patriot Guard member Walter Cuddy of Dacusville said his two sons are first lieutenants in the Army, and the son serving in Washington state is head of the Wounded Warrior Project there.
"It kind of hits close to home for me," said Cuddy, who said he's ridden with the guard eight times in the past four years, providing funeral escorts for fallen soldiers. "It's the least I can, to pay my respects to this young man and his family."
That kind of support has been astounding to the family, Amy Shaulis and her husband, Glenn, said.
"It shows the patriotism of the people of Greer and Greenville and the people who knew him," said Glenn Shaulis said. "He died serving his country. He's an honorable man."
Patriot Guard members lined up their bikes and stood curbside as the limousine, hearse and police cars escorting Hicks' family to the airport arrived. The guard members then lined the fence along the tarmac. Someone attached a small banner of American flags to the fence.
"We thank everyone for their support, their thoughts and prayers," said Bo Hicks' father, Chan Hicks. "We're so glad to have had him in our lives for the short time we did."
Bo Hicks would have been home from his third deployment in February. With a smile, Chan Hicks said his son was looking forward to hunting and fishing.
Bo, who had served two prior tours in Iraq, had volunteered for his third deployment and left in May. Bo and Spc. Joseph A. Richardson, 23, of Arkansas, were both killed when enemy forces attacked their unit with an improvised explosive device and small arms fire, officials said. The soldiers were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, at Fort Riley, Kan.
"He felt that was his calling," Chan Hicks said. "He felt it was his duty. The other guys were his family as much as we were. Our thoughts are with the men and women still serving and we hope each and every one of them comes home safe."
It was quiet as everyone waited for the plane, the only sound coming from other planes at the airport landing or taking off.
Hicks' uncle, Dennis "Pepper" Hicks, stood alone at first as the plane came in. He was then joined by members of his family, which included Bo Hicks' parents, siblings and grandparents. Many brushed away tears.
As the flag-draped casket was taken out of the plane, Hicks' mother sobbed. An Army chaplain bent down on one knee, placed his hands on the casket and bowed his head for a short prayer before standing and saluting.
A guard of officers carried the casket to the waiting hearse. Patriot Guard members stood by, saluting the casket or with hands placed over their hearts.
The procession to Wood Mortuary in Greer was led by Greenville-Spartanburg airport police and Greer Police Department officers. Patriot Guard members mounted up and escorted the hearse and family cars in a thunderous line, with American flags, flags from different branches of the military and the guard's own yellow banners that read "Patriot Guard Riders - Standing for Those Who Stood for Us" billowing out behind many of the motorcycles.
Residents lined the streets of Greer to greet the procession as it traveled through town. The fire department's ladder trucks were parked on either side of the street with a large American flag strung between them to meet the procession.
Greer residents Charlene and Don Patterson, a member of the American Legion, were among those who came out to honor a soldier they had never met. They brought their granddaughter Victoria Boyter out to the airport on Monday.
Charlene Patterson and Victoria held American flags and Charlene Patterson watched the procession until the last motorcycle rode out of sight.
"That was so beautiful, and sad, to see the people come out and say thank you to that young man," Charlene Patterson said.

Darkness and homeopathic bartenderingFebruary 21st, 2012 by Reinder
Darkness by Boulet is probably the best 24-hour comic ever made. The writing and art are just too good to be true and even in its current imperfect translation (the comic was originally in French) it has some classic lines in it.
Speaking of which, the other day I read Daniel Davies' The Christmas Sermon for the second time, a year after I'd first read it. Back then, I went as far as to read it aloud to Aggie. It's still hilarious a year later.

Video training
Nashua summer school a hitBy BARBARA TAORMINA
Union Leader Correspondent
September 17. 2013 11:47PM
NASHUA — More than 1,000 kids in Nashua attended summer school this year, where students produced videos, built catapults, made rock candy, visited local colleges and museums, and started a small business.
Teachers and administrators met with the Board of Education's Curriculum Committee this week and presented an overview of Nashua's summer school programs. And those programs look nothing like the vacation-busting summer schools that triggered a sense of fear and loathing in older generations.
Two summers ago, 782 kids went to summer school, and last year 889 kids attended programs. This year, enrollment jumped to 1,026 students, and the majority of those kids went because they wanted to be there.
Nashua's summer programs are targeted to different groups of kids such as English language learners, kids moving from elementary school to middle school and students from economically disadvantaged families.
"It's not one size fits all when it comes to summer school," Assistant Superintendent Karen Crebase told board members.
Still, the summer programs share an emphasis on hands-on learning, literacy and math skills, collaboration and problem solving. And all programs run for four weeks, so kids have plenty of summer left for themselves.
Scott Jaquith heads up the summer program for English language learners in grades 6 through 12. This year, 43 students completed the program, which uses projects and materials that focus on the experience of young immigrants in Nashua.
Last year, Jaquith published "Accepting the Challenge," an account of two Burundi families who settled in Nashua. The book was the theme for this summer's program.
"The students were extremely engaged because the content related to their lives," said Jaquith.
Teachers have long regretted the academic backsliding that takes place over the summer, and the English language learner program helps avoid any loss of language skills, especially for kids who do not speak English at home.
And it builds a sense of community among kids from different cultural backgrounds. This year, the students wrote to Mayor Donna Lozeau thanking her for the services the city provides to immigrant families and telling her about the problems kids still face.
The program, which is funded by a federal grant and the Nashua School District, is free and transportation is provided for eligible students.
Although administrators have been looking at mandatory summer school for kids whose basic skills are below their grade levels, teachers have been recruiting kids into summer programs.The new Excel summer school program for middle school students and the Kick Start program for incoming ninth-graders use career and technical training in fields such as culinary arts, woodworking, cosmetology and forensics to reinforce math skills and literacy.Teachers Ian Atwell, Phil DeRosa and Emily Dustin said kids are motivated to learn when they see relevant, real-life applications. This summer, 114 kids were enrolled in Excel and Kick Start, which are both free and funded by the school district.
Teachers start selecting students for both programs in February.
"We look for students who have high potential but aren't demonstrating that in the classroom," said Atwell. In addition to test scores and grades, a student's attendance and behavior is also considered.
Three years ago, Randy Calhoun launched the Summer Sizzler Science Academy, an enrichment program for Title 1 or economically disadvantaged students in grades 2 through 6 that uses science and engineering projects to bolster literacy, math and social skills.
Over three years, enrollment has jumped from 215 to 324 students.
"A lot of the growth has been word of mouth," said Calhoun, who oversees the curriculum built on engaging and fun activities that lure kids in.
The Science Academy is free to Title I students and open to other students for a fee of $320.
About halfway through the presentation on summer school, board member Robert Haas recalled what summer school meant when he was a kid.
"In the olden days, summer school was for students who failed," said Haas. "Does course failure come into any of this?"
Chebase said that students who failed in traditional classrooms settings aren't always likely to succeed in traditional summer schools that offer the same format, with warmer weather.
Still, about 80 students attended summer school to earn credits need for graduation.
For special needs students, summer school is an extended year program that is required by the state's Department of Education.
Teachers Kim DeGrappo and Susan Chmura explained that this summer students started Cars with Stars, a small car washing business.
"It was the most fabulous thing," said DeGrappo. "It was a start-up business."
Students worked together to develop a budget and business plan to hand wash and vacuum cars for $5. Along the way, they found solutions to problems and tweaked the business model to be more efficient. Next year, they are raising the price to $10, and hoping to pay each student for the work.
"They started the summer with nothing and earned $350," said DeGrappo. "And the skills they learned are skills they can take with them wherever they go."

Hi guys,
Running win7 x64 and this past week I have left my computer idle for some hours and started noticing some degraded computer performance when i wanted to use it for basic office stuff to gaming.
What I have found is that I am sitting at 3.5/4 GB of ram. So my first check was to see if anything was eating it and there wasn't. The list just didn't add up (yes i checked on all users).
I did some research and find sites that tell you to disable prefetch, superfetch etc but didn't make a difference.
On boot it sits around 1.2 and slowly creeps up, there is no noticable program I am using that is causing it so I am not actually sure now.
On closer inspection I have seen the nonpaged memory jump from 50 to 2200 (as I write this post) , I have tried to search for this but cant find any site that tells me exactly why its sky rocketing.
There is the argument of windows caching stuff but if I had to open up a large app , it would have very poor performance right now. It seems like windows is not letting go of "cached" memory when i want to utilize it.
I have only recently had this problem, never before or did I not notice it, highly doubt that. I have also changed my pagefile size from customer 1.5 X to windows managed. All apps updated.
Anyone with any experience in this , please let me know.

AC/DC don't rehearse
AC/DC don't rehearse
AC/DC don't rehearse.
The legendary rockers never did any preparations for early shows, and former bassist Mark Evans - who was with the group from 1975 to 1977 - admits they never changed their attitude as their success grew.
He said: "There were no rehearsals! My very first gig with them was totally spontaneous. This was after the audition. I went to see them at a local pub, saw them play one set, and then I went on stage with them and played the second set.
"For our first tour of England, they band rented a rehearsal space, but I think we mainly played some Elvis Presley songs.
"Real rehearsals - you know, running through the tunes and making sure everything was right - that stuff didn't happen."
Mark also revealed studio sessions were equally spontaneous, with songs recorded as they were written.
He explained to website MusicRadar: "Songs would be written in the studio. No demos. Angus [Young] and Malcolm [Young] would play things for George Young, and the tunes would be assembled right there. Once we had the skeleton of a song, we'd record it.
"Angus was full-on in the studio. When it was time for him to record his solos, he'd jump around and bounce off the walls, just like he would on stage. It was impossible for him to play and sit still. For rhythm tracks, he was somewhat subdued, but for solos, he went wild."

QPR winger Hogan Ephraim has completed a move to MLS side Toronto FC on loan until the end of the season, while Tottenham midfielder John Bostock and former Cardiff striker Rob Earnshaw could also join him in Canada.
Toronto, now managed by ex-Hoops defender Ryan Nelsen, are looking to strengthen their squad following the retirement of former Germany international Torsten Frings.
And the Reds have added Ephraim to their ranks, even though the 24-year-old has not started a league game for the Rs since they won promotion to the Premier League, with Harry Redknapp's side confirming the move on Wednesday afternoon.
Nelsen will know all about Ephraim from their time together at Loftus Road, while the Reds are also keen to take a closer look at trialists Bostock and Earnshaw. Bostock is already in Toronto, while Earnshaw is set to arrive on Wednesday.
"[Earnshaw] arrives to take a look at us and for us to take a look at him to see if that's a fit that might work," Payne added.
"It's a little too early to tell if that's going to happen."

the Disturbing Denver Party Bus
"Everything was just fine until that Party Bus rolled up." said Wilma Duvall of Lakewood CO. "It sounded like the idiotic hybrid of a Prom gone Psycho & Teen Day at the Waterpark" were the words in the complaint filed by Gus Bratcher.
This Party Bus seems so over-the top. How would companies like "Party bus Denver" find insurance for their ill conceived business plan? Below please find the denver party bus selling points [from their webpage] followed by my thoughts in CAPS

DixieDeer replies - " DO WE REALLY NEED A BUS EQUIPPED WITH THESE THINGS ?"

Start the party in one of our exotic Limo Buses in Denver. Your limo bus will include a 5000 Watt Custom sound system and unbelievable dance floor.
Our Denver Party Bus drivers are professional and know the hottest spots to cruise while you have fun and dance in the bus. "
DixieDeer replies - "JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS CORRECTLY...SO THE PROM OR HOMECOMING EVENT DOESN'T PROVIDE ENOUGH ENTERTAINMENT FOR THESE OVERSTIMULATED STUDENTS! WE NEED THE RIDE TO THE PARTY TO ALSO BE A RAGING PARTY?"
Party Bus Denver Says - "Fully loaded wet bar, sound system, and dance floor you can party to and from any concert in town. "
DixieDeer replies - " HEY, PARTY BUS DENVER!!! YOU FEEL THERE IS GREAT DEMAND IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR YOUR RIDICULOUS PARTY BUS, YOUR BETTING MOST OF YOUR CUSTOMERS THINK THAT THE CONCERT ITSELF WILL NOT SATISFY THE CUSTOMERS INSATIABLE HUNGER FOR ENTERTAINMENT, SO WE NEED THE PARTY BUS TO BE THE PRE-CONCERT PARTY AND THE POST-CONCERT PARTY ??

Style # 206587
Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by LVoeBEBE Love it!!! I bought this top online, I like how feminine it is and sexy. I'm 5' tall, 100 lbs and got a size small,I normally get xs with this style but I'm glad I sized up as I would not be able to get in this top. Ii still have to be careful taking it on and off though. I think maybe the lining sewn on the fabric does not give much stretch. February 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jordan524 STUNNING!!!! I absolutely LOVE this top!!!! It is SO gorgeous & the ruched detailing makes it look like a much more expensive item. I've tried it on with jeans, black jean leggings, a black skirt...it looks great with everything. I can't wait to wear it for a night out!!! I didn't know if I should order a Size XS or the XXS, so I went with the XXS, and it was definitely too small. I exchanged it for the XS, which fit perfectly. If you're borderline between the two sizes, like I am, definitely size up!! (FYI, I'm 5'4", weigh 107 pounds & have a 32A bust.) February 5, 2013

MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian physicist convicted of spying for China has been released on parole and is continuing to protest his innocence.
Valentin Danilov was arrested in 2001 on charges of passing classified information on space technology to China. He claimed the information was already publicly available.
He was acquitted in a 2003 trial, but retried the next year and convicted and sentenced to 14 years.
After his release Saturday, Danilov told a news conference in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk that he would pursue his case with the European Court of Human Rights.
"Nobody still has told me what kind of secrets I have," Danilov said Saturday.
Danilov, who was a professor at Krasnoyarsk Technical University, was one of several Russian scholars and journalists prosecuted for alleged espionage by the Federal Security Service, the main KGB successor known under its Russian acronym FSB.
Rights advocates say the security agency has been emboldened in efforts to discourage Russians' unsupervised contacts with foreigners since Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer and FSB head, became president.
Danilov's release came 10 days after a new law went into force that broadens the definition of treason and which critics say could be used against politically inconvenient figures.
While the previous law described high treason as espionage or other assistance to a foreign state that damages Russia's external security, the new legislation expands the definition by dropping the word "external." Activities that fall under it include providing help or advice to a foreign state or giving information to an international or foreign organization.
Danilov said after his release that "I'll continue to be involved with science, but not connected with space, because everything that's connected with space, everywhere it's a state secret."


text: I have a 2009 YF32 and, while I'm not having issues, it's probably time to replace batteries. Unfortunately, I'm about 4 hours from the boat and would like to buy new batteries before I fish again in mid-late January. Does anyone know the Group designation for the batteries that came from the factory? I know they are Odysseys and I'm thinking they are Group 34's (probably 34M-PC1500), but don't want to buy them without knowing for sure. I would be most appreciative if anyone could provide any helpful information. Thanks!

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Michael Aldrich of Eliot was in 7th grade at Marshwood Junior High when he first appeared in Oliver!. After that he was in every district musical until he graduated in 2009. And this year, Aldrich will return from active duty in the Coast Guard to once more go on stage in Oliver! at Marshwood High School.
Aldrich, who is 21, is one of about two dozen alumni expected to return to their alma mater for Oliver! when it opens Nov. 9. Among those returning thespians, about half a dozen alumni, including Aldrich, will take the stage to sing and dance in "Oom Pah Pah." The others will help with lights, sets, ushering and raffles.
"The district musical is a huge community builder," said Aldrich, who helped director Tanya West gather the returning students for this year's performance. "The show brings the entire community together and it's something that should be celebrated."
Director West decided to celebrate 10 years of musicals involving children from 8 to 18 by inviting alumni who had taken part in past district musicals to act in or help out with Oliver!, the same show she produced for the first district musical in 2003.
"I didn't get involved until my senior year and it was a blast," said Danielle Davis, who graduated in 2008 and works for Idexx Lab in Westbrook. "We created a little community that is still friends and it's so nice to be back and be part of that again." Davis is helping West as an off-stage assistant.
Last time Marshwood did Oliver!, the boy now playing Oliver was just learning to walk, the show's poster was saved on a floppy disk and Ms. West was a new hire with no idea if these district-wide musicals would fly in this community.
In 2003, West was introducing the concept of a district musical to the school system. The audition for the first Oliver! drew about 50 students. This year more than 100 students tried out for the 60-person cast. Sixteen of those parts are filled by 3rd, 4th and 5th graders.
Nearly all of the district musical performances have a full house and dozens of members of the community now take part in everything from concessions and raffles to programs and publicity.
"It's 100 percent different now," said West, who has evolved into a seasoned director. "I'm totally different; the show is totally different; the kids are different and there's different community involvement."
For students who have taken part in most of the district musicals over a decade, the experience marks a coming of age.
"I remember some scenes with all the older kids and I was imagining what it might feel like to be a star and to have a big part," said senior Chase Fisher, the only current student who was in the original Oliver! and who will be Mrs. Sowerberry in this year's Oliver!.
"I so looked up to the big kids and thought it would be so cool to be like that. Now I have that part and there's a bunch of little kids around."
"It's really good to have played all the roles, not like parts in the play, but roles like being in fourth grade and looking up to all those older kids and now being a role model for other younger kids," agreed junior Julianna Burke, who has been in every musical since Cinderella in fourth grade.
"I remember when I first got called back to try out for JoJo in Seussical, I was like 'What? What's a callback,'" said Burke, reminiscing about her youthful naivete.
Returning alum remember well when Burke and Fisher were young, and are equally moved by the passage of time.
"The little kids who were in musicals have grown up," said Cassie Robertson, who is studying English and writing at USM and was in Seussical, A Christmas Carol and Bye Bye Birdie before she graduated in 2009.
"It's weird seeing Brynne (DuBois) and Julianna and Ryan Bulger all so old," said Amber Cognato, Class of 2010, who is studying at York County Community College and performed in The Ragged Child and A Christmas Carol, and will be on stage in Oliver!
The Marshwood district musicals have run the gamut from silly to sad, from classic to obscure. The school district has performed Oliver!, The Music Man, Cinderella, Seussical, Bye Bye Birdie, A Christmas Carol, The Wizard of Oz, The Ragged Child, and The Jungle Book.
This year the part of Oliver is being played by Max Tullgren of South Berwick, a sixth grader who was toddling around when Marshwood first performed the play. In 2003, the part of Oliver was played by Tucker Leary, an eighth grader at the time who later went to Massachusetts College of Art and is now a photographer in Boston.
David Walters, an alum parent, whose daughters are both several years gone from the district musicals, is doing set design, while David Kaye, whose daughters Abby and Emily are in the show, will be overseeing the scenic art. Many parents, alumni and current students will help the team create the set. Bev Roy, another parent of a former thespian, Laura Roy, will do costumes as she has for several years with Sharon Hilton. Aimee Gigandet, Chase Fisher's mom, has been assistant director for the shows for several years.
The alumni effort was coordinated by Aldrich, who created a Facebook group inviting Marshwood alumni of district musicals to join in this year's show. The group now includes more than 50 former students.
The show opens Friday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m., with additional performances on Saturday, Nov. 10, Friday, Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 17, also at 7 p.m. and with a matinee at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17. For more information, go to the Marshwood Musicals Facebook page. Tickets are available by calling 384-4500 or reserving on-line at http://marshwoodmusic.org/musicals.

Fibreboard Corporation
List of Deals
- 1969 warrants to purchase 729,222 shares of common stock expiring December 1, 1978
- 1971 500,000 shares common stock
- 1973 exchange offer 6 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures
The Fibreboard Corporation was incorporated on November 20, 1917, in Delaware as the Paraffine Companies, Inc., as the consolidation of the following companies: Economy Paper Company, Northern Board & Paper Mills, Coast Waste Products Company, Crescent Boxboard Company, Southern Board & Paper Mills, R.W. Pridham Company, California Paper & Board Mills, and the Paraffine Paint Company.
In November 1927 Fibreboard merged several properties that it owned and that were used in the manufacture of paperboard with similar properties owned by National Paper Products Company of California to create a 50 percent owned affiliate named Fibreboard Products. Years later, in 1956, the other 50 percent was acquired from Crown Zellerbach Corporation for $37.8 million.
During 1927 Fibreboard sold machinery used in the manufacture of printing ink to the California Ink Company in exchange for stock in the company. In September 1928 Fibreboard purchased all of the capital stock of Plant Rubber & Asbestos Works and in 1929 it acquired the entire stock of Cott-a-lap Company.
Fibreboard merged with the Schumacher Wall Board Corporation, an affiliate, in April 1946, issuing 15,000 shares of common stock in exchange for Schumacher's 45,000 shares. In April 1951 Fibreboard purchased all of the stock of Pacific Roofing and dissolved the company in June 1953.
On November 1, 1950, the company name was changed to Pabco Products Inc., and on May 1, 1956, it was changed once again to Fibreboard Paper Products Corporation. The name Fibreboard Corporation was adopted on June 29, 1966.
Sales for Fibreboard grew to $127.4 million with net income of $5.9 million in 1956. The company sold a floor-covering plant at Metuchen, New Jersey, in 1957 as well as carton and container plants in Philadelphia and Baltimore. It also discontinued floor-covering operations in Emeryville, California, in 1961.
In the 1960s Fibreboard began to expand into the lumber business through several acquisitions. In 1965 Fibreboard acquired Lorenz Lumber Company and Cloverdale Plywood Company, both of California. It also purchased assets of Clear Fir Sales Company, a national distributor of plywood and lumber products, and a 50 percent interest in Pickering Lumber Corporation. Fibreboard bought the mill facilities of Douglas Lumber Company of Truckee, California, in 1967 on a long-term lease arrangement, and it also sold three of its four gypsum plants and quarries. Fibreboard added several other lumber companies in 1969 when it bought the following five companies: Green Valley Lumber Inc., Sequoia Pine Mills, Bate Plywood Company, Merlin Forest Products, and S.H. & W. Lumber Company.
In 1971 Fibreboard acquired Round Prairie Lumber Company, and in June 1971 it added Clear Fir Products, both of Oregon. It sold what remained of its gypsum operations in May 1972, and in June 1972 Fibreboard acquired the assets of Corban Industries of Tampa, Florida, a pipe manufacturer.
By 1972 sales were $217.2 million and net income was $13.4 million with 5,800 employees. Fibreboard had evolved into a business manufacturing and selling paperboard and packaging products. It was also engaged in the manufacture and sale of lumber, plywood, and high-temperature industrial insulators as well as in developing land for housing.
In 1974 Fibreboard collaborated with the State of California to reduce pollution from one of its paper mills. Fibreboard issued tax-exempt bonds with the California Pollution Control Financing Authority, a California governmental agency. The bonds fund construction of a facility to control air and water pollution at Fibreboard's San Joaquin pulp and paper mill near Antioch, California. The CPCFA built the facility, which was then sold to Fibreboard Corporation upon completion.

Eight of the biggest names in monster truck racing come to town for a show that will be just exciting as the ones on television. Trucks currently scheduled to appear are War Wizard, Avenger, Brutus, Equalizer, Gun Slinger, Tailgator, Raminator and Bad Habit.
After two rounds of qualifying, the trucks will line up to race each other through a course filled with crushed cars, ramps and anything else Speedway officials can throw at them. The trucks will race until only one is left standing as the overall champion.
If the racing action is not enough to get the adrenaline pumping, the massive machines will roar back onto center stage for everyone's favorite event, freestyle.
Fans will see Bristol's very own Randy Moore try to defend his house against "Mr. Excitement" Jim Koehler and the rest of the field as they tackle the obstacles to see who can cause the most mayhem and destruction.

In addition, the Team FMX freestyle motocross team will put on a stunning display of awesome jumps and stunts just like the ones seen on TV. The routines are always a crowd-favorite and the Team FMX riders always are happy to put on an amazing show for their screaming fans.
New to this year's event is a junk car burn down. A jet car, chained to an old junker, will turn on the afterburners and torch the car until it melts to the ground. The evening ends with a fireworks show to light up the skies above BMS.
The Monster Truck Madness Pit Party begins at 6 p.m. and takes place on the backstretch. Racing action begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the gate.

STOCKTON - In a series of angry outbursts Thursday, convicted murderer Devon Omar Epps declared his sanity, tried to fire his lawyer, and told a San Joaquin County Superior Court judge he just wants "to go to jail so I can be murdered and raped."
STOCKTON - In a series of angry outbursts Thursday, convicted murderer Devon Omar Epps declared his sanity, tried to fire his lawyer, and told a San Joaquin County Superior Court judge he just wants "to go to jail so I can be murdered and raped."
Epps, 37, was convicted Wednesday after a three-week trial for the 2011 murder and torture of his girlfriend, Veronica Jones, 35, who was found badly decomposed in his Channel Street apartment with stab wounds. Epps lived with the body in his apartment for months before property managers found her there in December 2011.
Superior Court Judge Bernard Garber removed the jury from the courtroom as Epps failed to refrain from yelling at witnesses and the victim's family members on the first day of a portion of the trial designed to determine if the defendant was sane when he killed Jones.
"The jury saw for three weeks that you were in good shape with no outbursts," Garber told Epps after the jury's departure. "Now during the sanity phase of the trial, you are acting out. They may think you are faking it to get an insanity verdict."
Epps then spoke at length to Garber about how he believed his guilty verdict was riddled with lying witnesses, and used profane language to describe his defense attorney, Denise Pereira, saying she did not represent him as well as she could have. Eventually, Epps requested a Marsden hearing to ask the judge to remove Pereira for a new lawyer. After a short private hearing, Garber denied that request.
"This is nothing but an act," said Isaac Zuniga, one of Jones' brothers. "For three weeks, he was very sane. All he did was whisper in his lawyer's ear and pass her notes. Now, all of a sudden, he's acting crazy."
Zuniga said he has heard through Deputy District Attorney Thomas Testa that Epps has a history of feigning mental illness and that, in previous court hearings, he was able to act out and was placed in a mental ward instead of prison. Epps has been officially diagnosed with schizophrenia, but he did confirm in court Thursday that he intentionally acted out in the past.
"I did act crazy before so I could stay in the mental hospital instead of going to jail," Epps told Garber, minutes after telling him "everybody's perjuring for real" and asking the judge if a voice named "Kirby" was providing the court with instructions.
"No," Garber told him. "I don't know Kirby."
Once Epps calmed down, Garber told him that one more outburst would result in his being removed from court. Epps agreed and the trial resumed. A few minutes later, he spoke out again and was taken away.
Subsequently, witnesses called by Testa testified regarding Epps' general demeanor during his courtship with Jones and of his drug use. The case is expected to resume Tuesday with a doctor who has examined the defendant's mental health.

"Green" cleanser cause of blaze that destroyed Somersworth mobile homeBy PAT GROSSMITH, New Hampshire Union Leader
February 22. 2013 8:49AM
SOMERSWORTH - A mobile home was destroyed in a blaze overnight Thursday which fire officials believed was caused by chemical combustion involving a citrus cleaner.
Fire Lt. Kenneth Vincent said with the increase in people using "green" cleaning products, the number of chemical combustion fires is on the rise. He said there have been three fires over the past seven years in Somersworth caused by citrus or organic cleaners.
Thursday night's fire was reported at 11:38 pm. at 5 Short St. When firefighters arrived, Anthony Morse, his wife, son and a son's friend were all outside the home.
According to Vincent, Morse heard a "snapping" sound and saw flames coming from under the sink. He grabbed a shovel, went outside to get some snow and tried to put out the blaze while his son call 911.
He was unable to put out the fire and when firefighters arrived, the 12-by-70-foot mobile home was in flames.
Vincent said investigators believe the fire is accidental and started when a container of a citrus cleaner, stored underneath the sink, fell over. The cause may be carried as undetermined, however, because investigators may be unable to identify the other chemical that mixed with the citrus cleaner and caused the fire.
He estimated damage at $50,000 for the mobile home which was totaled.
Vincent advised that any cleanser, whether chemical, citrus or organic, should be stored inside a fire rated, metal container. It also is recommended that any rags used with citrus or organic cleaners first be soaked in water before disposing of them.
