Two teenagers attending a Summer Night Lights anti-gang program were shot when someone opened fire on a group leaving the Wilmington Recreation Center early Thursday, police said.
A 19-year-old man was hit in the stomach and on a hand and a 15-year-old girl was wounded in the back in the 12:05 a.m. shooting, police said.
Los Angeles police Lt. Bob Long said gang members may have been responsible for the shooting but so far detectives have no information to indicate the male victim is affiliated with a gang, and already have determined the girl is not a gang member.
The gunfire erupted as about 30 people were leaving the event at 325 Neptune Ave. Long said someone on foot opened fire and jumped into a car that drove away.
The victims, who had been gathered outside the park in a group, were taken to County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and were expected to recover.
The Summer Night Lights program, run out of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office, operates in parks across the city of Los Angeles.
Officials say the program reduces crime by giving teenagers and young people a place to go. The program keeps the lights on in parks until midnight and schedules activities such as basketball, skateboarding and movies.
Parks will be open from Wednesday to Saturdays until midnight through Sept. 3. More than 300 people ages 17 to 20 were hired to work in the parks.
Long said nothing occurred at the Wilmington Recreation Center that would have prompted the shooting. The gunman came from outside.
Police checked on the park throughout the evening Wednesday and were expected to increase patrols Thursday night, Long said.
The shooting occurred as the U.S. Conference of Mayors Summer Leadership Meeting involving 50 mayors was set to begin in Los Angeles on Thursday. Some were planning to visit Costello Park in Boyle Heights to see how the Summer Night Lights program works.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who was in Washington, D.C., lobbying for transit funds, said he had been informed about the shooting and had asked officers to update him on it.
"But, the fact is, the Saturday Night Lights program has helped reduce homicides around the city," Villaraigosa said during a conference call.
"We have it at 24 parks and some 700,000 people come through. When you look at the dramatic drop in violence around these parks, it makes the case for expanding the program," the mayor said.
Villaraigosa, who is hosting mayors from across the country in his role as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, said he will be taking the officials on the tour to learn about the program.
The Wilmington shooting was the second to affect the summer program in recent weeks.
Reputed gang members shot a rival during a Summer Night Lights event at Van Ness Park in South Los Angeles on July 14.
The latest shooting highlighted the inherent dangers for young people living in gang-infested neighborhoods, said Guillermo Cespedes, the city's deputy mayor for gang reduction.
"This is absolutely unfortunate," Cespedes said. "We are picking some of the most volatile sites in the city because it's a violence-reduction program."
Cespedes said there had been several violent incidents around closing time at previous events, but there had never been a shooting inside a park itself.

Lot # 91 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1895 N300 Mayo's Cut Plug Buck Ewing - Cleveland - Highest Graded!
Starting Bid - $2,500, Sold For - $9,400
Graded NM 84 by SGC. Highest-graded example by far! The next-highest grade for this card by SGC or PSA is EX 60 and EX 5, respectively. Magnificent high-grade N300 Mayo's Cut Plug of Hall of Famer Buck Ewing. There are two team variations of Ewing in the Mayo set. This is the earlier-issued "Cleveland" variation. Ewing was with Cleveland in 1894 and his Mayo card was first issued with "Cleveland" on his shirt. This was later changed to "Cincinnati" when he joined the Reds for the 1895 season. It is also interesting to note that the Ewing with Cleveland version is considerably rarer than the Cincinnati variety, suggesting that the team change was executed very early in the production of the Mayo set. Bright and crisp, with a bold portrait, no creases, and with only the slightest hint of wear to the extremely condition-sensitive edges and corners. The front and back are extremely clean. The Mayo set includes many of the most striking portrait cards of many very significant nineteenth-century players. By far the finest we (or PSA or SGC) have ever seen and very likely literally the finest in existence. This is an stunning high-grade example of one of the most important and rare cards in the Mayo set and one of Buck Ewing's most classic cards. The equivalent SMR value is $14,500. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000++.

A Wyre businessman has blamed rapid rises in energy prices as his company ceased trading.
More than 160,000 customers have been left without an energy supplier since GB Energy Supply shut its doors.
Managing Director Luke Watson, who hails from Preesall, said customers' supplies should continue a view which has been backed by regulator Ofgem.
The company had been building new offices at Broughton, near Preston, for the six members of staff and it had been planning to grow the business. Construction work has now ended on that site.
Mr Watson said in a message on the firm's website: "It is with regret that we are informing you that GB Energy Supply is no longer trading and therefore you will be unable to access our website at this time.
"Due to swift and significant increases in energy prices over recent months and, as a small supplier our inability to forward buy energy to allow us to access the best possible wholesale prices....the position of the business has become untenable.
"As such we will now be entering a process overseen by Ofgem to move you to a new supplier.
"Customers will be contacted soon by their new supplier with more information on how this process will affect them."
The company specialised in reducing energy usage for domestic, commercial and public sector clients.
Launched with a pledge to shake up the market with fairer pricing, GB Energy said earlier this year it had more than 135,000 customers throughout Great Britain.
Mr Watson said at the time: "The reason we're able to offer exactly the same energy for a much cheaper price is because we keep our business model lean, unlike many other players in the market.
"We don't waste money on expensive marketing campaigns, sponsorships or by paying money to price comparison sites that don't always give people a true view of market; we prefer to pass savings onto our customers, helping them to save money."
Experts said today that smaller energy suppliers cannot buy in advance to cover sudden price rises like larger companies do and expected more to struggle this year.
Rachel Fletcher from Ofgem said: "If you are a customer of GB Energy Supply there is no need to worry as we will ensure your energy supplies are safe."

Through the results of widespread experimentation of the… well… let's say "non-scientific" variety, it's pretty well known that marijuana has the side effect of making the user very hungry. This is one of the many physiological effects of the active ingredient THC (?9-tetrahydrocannabinol). More relevantly, however, THC and other cannabinoids are actively being investigated for various useful clinical purposes, including the treatment of cancer through the inhibition of tumor growth.
A new study by Salazar et al. in The Journal of Clinical Investigation demonstrates that THC causes tumor cells to begin to degrade themselves from the inside (a process called autophagy, i.e. "self-eating"). Although autophagy has been shown to promote cell survival in some cases and cell death in others, the authors show that in this case it causes cancer cells to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). Thus, THC activates a series of events within cancer cells, inhibiting tumor growth.
Despite the imagery that the title of this post (and maybe even casual experience) may imply, it's not that THC causes cancer cells to ravenously and indiscriminately destroy themselves. Rather, by binding to certain cell-surface receptors, THC activates a cell signaling pathway that leads to cell death. This is a very orderly process, with autophagy just contributing one important step. The authors of this paper work out many of the molecular players in this process, using siRNA and cells derived from knockout mice, although I'll leave it to the interested reader to further explore that aspect by reading the paper if so inclined.
Mostly, this is interesting (to me) more for the big picture aspect and the implications for clinical medicine. And, of course, for the post title it inspired.
Hat tip to Mo of Neurophilosophy.

I have lots of blackheads on my nose. I've tried everything… cleansers, pore strips [they took the skin right off my nose.. and left the blackheads!], astringents, even those little black head pusher things.
Nothing worked.. and then I read about Pilaten.
So.. I did what any girl would do.. and ordered a little sample pack for $6.99 on ebay. It came with 10 packages.. and I got them yesterday.
I tried them today when fi was at work.. and WOW! That stuff is amazing. My skin feels fresh and… open [is that even a thing?!]!
And best of all, it removed most of the blackheads on my nose, some of them are pretty deep so I'll wait a few days and try again.
If you have blackheads, I highly advise you to give it a try!

BOYNTON BEACH — Approval of a new lease agreement with Boynton Beach Child Care Center Inc. and discussion of allocating money to the center`s planned expansion project are expected to be among the items considered by the City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday.
The council will meet at 7:30 p.m. in its chambers in City Hall.
The council is expected to allocate money to the planned expansion at the center, 909 NE Third St., to help the center make more than the minimum improvements now scheduled.
City Council members met with Child Care Center officials last week and agreed to cancel the current lease, which has six years remaining, and to negotiate a new, 30-year lease for the city-owned site.
Also on the agenda is discussion of whether minor home improvements done by family members, such as carport repairs, should be exempt from city building- permit fee requirements.
City Building Department staffers have recommended that the city continue to collect the fees to cover inspection and administrative costs.
The council also will consider a recommendation that would make planned industrial developments subject to the same environmental reviews that now apply to heavy industrial developments in the city.

CORONA — A 47-year-old Corona woman was arrested Saturday on charges of neglecting her dog so much that it was left weak and unable to stand, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said.
The ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement agents answered a complaint Feb. 12 about a matted dog at the residence of Ana Herra, the ASPCA said. At the residence the agents discovered a 12- to 15-year-old female mixed breed dog, Julie, who was weak, unable to stand and had a coat covered with matts, the ASPCA said.
Herra relinquished control of the dog and the ASPCA brought her to their Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, the ASPCA said. Due to Julie's poor health, she was euthanized a few hours after she was admitted, the ASPCA said.
Herra has been charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty and faces one year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine if convicted, the ASPCA said.

Spot Fraud From a Mile Away
NS8 scores every order.
NS8 uses machine learning, real-time scoring, and fraud pattern detection to make fraud so obvious, it's comical. You can laugh again knowing that you aren't losing resources or suffering chargebacks to prolific low-effort theft. If someone is going to commit fraud against your business, they are going to have to try a lot harder, or just search for websites that don't have NS8 code running on their stores.
Introducing the EQ8 Score
NS8 scores all traffic, users, and orders. Store administrators can set custom thresholds for actions.
The EQ8 scoring engine assesses every visitor to a website or service, and it assigns a score from 0-1000 to identify their potential risk for fraud. Much like a credit score, this helps store owners learn more about the identity of suspect users and make an informed decision about whether to request further verification from them before completing the transaction.
Some of these methods used to formulate this score are algorithmic, and others are learned over time by detecting patterns in the data. For more information on the attributes we consider and how our EQ8 score is applied, check out our methodology page.
Custom Rules for Order Quarantine
Use any attribute to create custom order rules that work for your specific industry, market, or internal procedure.
With custom rulesets, you can tailor our fraud solution so that it aligns with the specific needs of your individual business. This lets you generate your own exceptions or warning flags that ensure your filtering efforts don't hinder your real customers, and it empowers you to protect your storefront from the threats you face on a daily basis.
Identity Verification Stops Bots and Fraudsters
Use order rules to automatically initiate identity verification.
You can use our suite of capabilities to learn more about the identity of suspect users once they drop below a particular custom threshold. This gives you greater control over the screening process and lets you initiate additional checks for a further layer of security.
Reduce Manual Order Review
Increase productivity and shorten processing times.
With NS8 on watch for fraud, you will be free to put resources where they are more effective. No longer will labor and productivity be wasted reviewing the good orders from your real customers.
Advertising Fraud Can Eat Up to 34% of Your Budget
NS8 identifies low quality traffic and stops fraudsters from stealing your resources.
Driving traffic to your store is important. But driving low-quality traffic is a waste of money, and the fraud that comes with it will eat away at your revenue. NS8 not only scores your traffic to let you know which campaigns and traffic sources are costing you money, it also blocks bots from being retargeted. Speaking of retargeting…
Bots Have a New Scam
Retargeting is an effective tool to reach customers when it's not being abused by fraudsters.
Retargeting fraud is a simple scam. Bots are sent to your store and pretend to shop in the hopes of getting tagged for remarketing ads. Then they go to the fraudster's website to "look" at the ads that you are paying to display. NS8 identifies these bots and blocks them from getting tagged, keeping your advertising budget focused on real human people. Without NS8, remarketing is not as effective as it should be. Learn More »
Track Your Savings
Remarketing fraud can be difficult to understand, and even harder to measure.
Every time NS8 blocks a bot or invalid session from being tagged for remarketing, you are saving money. We use industry rates to determine the number of retargetting ads the bot would have been served and the cost of each of those ads.
Monitor Your Store's Technical Performance and Reputation
NS8's global network of monitoring stations watches over your store 24/7.
NS8 Protect includes 5 important monitors for eCommerce platforms. You can receive escalating SMS or e-mail messages if: your SSL certificate is set to expire, your domain is added to a spam list, your website is flagged for malware concerns, a portion of your website fails to load, or your load performance drops against the global average.
Expired Certificates are Scary
Customers are presented with dire warnings when a store's encryption certificate expires.
If one of the site's certificates expires, many secure networks and browsers will notify customers who try to visit a certain page that the content is no longer secure. Not only does this leave the site vulnerable, but it costs the business valuable potential customers as it undermines consumer confidence.
With NS8, you can monitor all of your sites' important certificates so that you aren't caught unaware by an untimely expiration. Learn More »
Fraud identification and protection made easy.
EQ8 Scoring
Every action taken by a user at your store is scored by the EQ8 engine, which functions a lot like a credit score. A high score is awarded when a user has displayed characteristics of being a trustworthy human, and a low score is awarded when the user has been found to be deceptive about their identity, location, device, etc.
All Orders Scored
NS8 integrates order scoring from the EQ8 Score right into Shopify Plus's default order queue. Warning icons appear next to low-scoring orders that exhibit fraud markers and are deemed suspicious.
All Ad Campaigns Scored
Discover which of your advertising campaigns and sources are responsible for the most low-quality traffic. Direct your budget towards campaigns that score well and actually deliver.
Block Retargeting Fraud
Don't waste revenue by remarketing to bots. NS8 blocks bots and other deceptive users from getting tagged for retargeting.
Google Analytics Integration
Make remarking more effective. Set a custom EQ8 score threshold to add high-scoring users to high-value remarketing audiences.
SMS Order verification
Request SMS or email verification from the customer on suspicious order.
Performance Monitoring
Every plugin added to your store can negatively impact the speed, performance and customer experience of your website. NS8 monitors your website's performance from a global view and alerts you if there is an issue.
Malware Monitoring
Every plugin added to your store is another potential avenue for fraudsters to attack and sneak malware into you store with the hope of infecting your customers. NS8 monitors Google's safe browsing list for your domain and alerts you via email or SMS.
Stay off of Spam Lists
If you rely on email marketing to drive customers to your store, finding your domain on a spam list could be the end. NS8 monitors the largest spam block-lists for your domain and alerts you via email or SMS.
NS8 Protect is on constant watch, analyzing every visitor to your website. Because of this, it is a pay-as-you-go service based on the total number of hits registered each month.

Our Other Shopify Apps
One of the key missing features in Google Analytics is the ability to see a report on individual visitors to your site. Visitors by NS8 is a free app that provides this service, giving you accurate intelligence on all your site's users in just 48 hours. Not only can you track over 100 attributes (including location, ad campaign, device type, and user demographics), but it is designed for easy CSV format integration so that you can use it alongside your other business applications.
This free app provides full analytics for all user downloads from your store. Downloads are an essential marketing metric, so this app tracks downloads (such as white papers, product PDFs, and datasheets) to give you valuable insight into the nature of your site's users. If you are running ongoing ad campaigns, this app can also let you know which of your downloads are being driven by them, as well as give you the ability to segment and filter the downloads by particular user demographics.

Nearly every CEO aspires to spend less-but still hit revenue targets. But 64% of the chief marketing officers we surveyed expect their budgets to grow over the next two to three years. Their optimistic outlook is a bit surprising since only 42% of marketing budgets increased in the past two to three years.
The truth is that most chief marketing officers are being asked to do more with less.
The next theme involves taking a more active role in driving new-business development broadly across the organization. CEOs see this as a critical role for marketing. Chief marketing officers tend to focus more narrowly on product development and communication. Clearly, CEOs expect marketing to step up its game.
Finally, CEOs tell us their marketing colleagues should be "full" business partners, more aggressively helping to drive profits. The problem is many chief marketing officers believe their departments lack the requisite skills to accept this challenge.
Bridging these gaps will require changes in spending, organization skills and culture for many marketers.
To meet profit targets in today's slower-growth markets, businesses are increasingly focused on managing costs. However, both revenue and share must ultimately grow if CEOs are to achieve the profit growth they seek.
While some marketers successfully use spend-effectiveness measures to help drive profit growth, not everyone is doing it well and most CEOs remain troubled by the overall level of marketing spending. This means there will be greater, simultaneous pressure to grow revenue and reduce marketing costs as a percentage of sales. To be more effective, marketers cannot simply capture the low-hanging fruit (e.g., renegotiating with suppliers) or rely on black-box solutions. They need to use more judgment. We have identified three ways for marketers to get started:
* Link spending priorities to profit potential, not historical performance. By using the size and anticipated growth rate of current customers, marketing groups can determine how much of a company's growth is likely to come from each customer. This "projected share growth" will help align spending allocations with growth opportunities and rebalance distribution of funds across brands and media.
* Focus spending on brand drivers, not antes. Currently, too much spending is focused on "antes"(the features and benefits that a brand needs to stay in the game) even though spending on antes offers diminishing returns. To succeed, marketers must shift as much spending as possible to "drivers," the features important to consumers, and understand how specific drivers affect upside potential.
* Deepen insights on how customers get product information and make buying decisions. To reach a customer segment through a specific medium, marketers must combine demographics with survey data on customer value and media habits. In our experience, this only works when a company develops a robust database, analyzes data appropriately and creates an effective marketing plan.
CEOs may be providing smaller budgets, but most still want marketers to provide big ideas for new business development. McKinsey research has shown a company's total return to shareholders relative to its industry generally deteriorates as a business matures. In early years, however, new businesses outperform their industries, so companies must continually create new businesses if they hope to deliver superior shareholder value.
Marketers clearly have an opportunity to do more new-business development. Just over half of the surveyed chief marketing officers say they are involved in corporate-strategy development; less than half report leading new-business development. Marketers must be quicker to identify unmet customer needs, the impetus for most new businesses, and translate them into product or service specifications that can lead to new-business development.
In our research on companies that successfully develop big ideas, we identified three characteristics that position marketers as business development leaders. These companies:
* Force the widest view when defining their business, assets and competencies;
* Combine multiple perspectives-for example, using attitudinal and need profiles as well as behavior-based segments-to identify market opportunities or sweet spots; and
* Focus idea generation through a combination of marketing insight and business analysis-but identify profitable unmet needs before they brainstorm creative solutions.
The CEO perspectives we heard (that marketers don't work fast enough, don't link ideas to core business needs and don't act like partners in business strategy) are not simple to reverse, but we see at least two opportunities to do so.
First, marketers must test and develop programs more quickly as they enhance planning processes and research approaches. Decision speed is the key factor separating marketing winners from losers, said 90 marketers who participated in a McKinsey-Harvard Business School study. The tricky part is figuring out how to address the need for speed without becoming "shoot-from-the-hip" managers.
The second opportunity involves evaluating the performance and profit impact of investments in the expanded marketing arena, which now includes CRM technology, sponsorships, Internet marketing and word of mouth.
The marketing environment will certainly become more complex, but that only strengthens the need for careful quantitative measurement of newer marketing vehicles. We must understand how different investments affect a brand's strength, whether the impact is greater in one customer segment or another, and which customer groups are most likely to yield the greatest value over time.
By improving their focus on speed, performance and impact, marketers can earn a secure seat at the executive table. However, to contribute effectively as a full business partner, some marketers may first need to sharpen their skills in such areas as developing business plans, measuring ROI, assessing the financial impact of new marketing vehicles, leading cross-functional implementation and negotiating performance partnerships with vendors.
Ignored, the perspective gaps between CEOs and chief marketing officers threaten to make today's tough economic environment even more difficult. We are confident, however, that these gaps can be effectively bridged when marketers take the right concrete steps to do more with less, drive new business development and become "full" business partners.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has summoned India's top diplomat in the country to protest a pair of clashes along the disputed Kashmir border in the past week that killed two Pakistani soldiers.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry says the Indian high commissioner was told Friday that the attacks were "unacceptable."
The protest came a day after Pakistan said Indian troops fired on an army post in Kashmir, killing one soldier. Pakistan said the attack was unprovoked, but India said Pakistani troops fired first.
India staged a similar diplomatic protest earlier in the week after it said Pakistani soldiers crossed the border and attacked an army patrol Tuesday, killing two Indian soldiers. Pakistan denied the allegations.
Pakistan accused India of raiding one of its posts Sunday and killing one soldier. India denied the allegations.

AT Duke University, American physicist Karl Straub stands atop a massive concrete radiation shield and thanks Russia's defunct laser-weapons program. He points out key components from that program in a powerful research laser now taking shape in a laboratory here that will be used to probe living cells and superhard materials.
"These people know what they're doing," he says of his colleagues from the Budker Institute in Novosibirsk, who worked on technology to shoot down Western satellites. "It's a remarkable device; this thing is superb!"
You can hear similar enthusiasm around United States Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories these days as new partnerships develop between scientists who once were on opposite sides of the cold war. Along with the enthusiasm, there is the expectation that bringing unemployed Russian weapons scientists into the larger world of peaceful research will blunt temptations to take their weapons-making skills elsewhere.
At Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico - the premier US nuclear-weapons lab - visiting Russian weapons scientists now work with American counterparts on nonsecret civilian projects.
They bring technology for generating enormous magnetic fields and powerful electric currents that Los Alamos scientist Irving Lindemuth says his group didn't know existed before the cold war ended.
When Los Alamos scientists visit the counterpart Russian weapons lab in the once-secret town of Sarov, they contribute sophisticated instrumentation and mathematical techniques their Russian colleagues have lacked.
"It's very much a two-way street," Dr. Lindemuth says. He adds that both sides are working toward "what we hope will be a long-term partnership."
At nearby Sandia National Laboratories, meanwhile, dozens of partnerships between DOE laboratories, Russian research institutions, and commercial firms are under way or being developed. Dennis Croessmann, who manages this International Partnership Program (IPP) at Sandia, also says that the Russians bring big benefits.
Swords into knife blades
He cites an IPP project to use a beam of ions (electrically charged atoms) to coat materials. It might coat a wear-resistant diamond skin on a knife blade, for example.
Dr. Croessmann says the Russians' skill and technology shaved a year off that project's development time. "That's not a small incremental benefit. It's a big jump benefit!" he exclaims.
Both the Russian and American governments encourage this trend toward scientific togetherness. They have signed a series of umbrella agreements that cover virtually all scientific fields and many types of cooperation, from individual relationships in university labs to full-scale industrial projects and building the international space station.
But it is in the partnerships involving weapons scientists where the self-interest of both countries shows through most clearly.
The first priority in the IPP program is nonproliferation of weapons technology, Croessmann says. He explains: "It's bringing people out into the open.... They're working in a collaborative atmosphere rather than being locked away."
Los Alamos's Lindemuth agrees, noting that "in addition to doing fun science, we're integrating our colleagues into the global scientific community."
Lindemuth adds that, for the Russian scientists at Sarov, this involves more than material rewards. He says that, for them, their work is their life. They had wondered what would happen when the Soviet Union collapsed. Now this collaboration with Los Alamos is giving them "some exciting work to do."
Bomb bursts of electricity
The Los Alamos scientists first contacted the Sarov group in response to an order in late 1991 from the White House National Security Council.
Both laboratories had worked for decades on using strong magnetic and electric fields to study phenomena at high energy densities.
Los Alamos generated its high fields using expensive banks of electrical-energy storage devices called capacitors. Lindemuth says that his group found that the Russians, who couldn't afford such equipment, had developed a cheaper and better way to generate the fields.
They use high explosives to compress magnetic fields so as to strengthen the fields and generate powerful electric currents. This destroys the equipment. But Lindemuth notes that scientists can run thousands of these one-shot experiments for the cost of a capacitor facility.
For a few billionths of a second, the shots can exceed the electrical generating capacity of the entire planet. Meanwhile, Lindemuth notes that "all kinds of things are going on" in experimental devices subjected to that power.
This is used for a wide range of studies in such fields as high-pressure chemistry, electronics, astrophysical phenomena, and hydrogen fusion.
It's all nonsecret peaceful research. Lindemuth says scientists from both sides are careful to stay away from each laboratory's secret areas. Also, he says that "we work real hard to make sure anything we do" has no weapons implications.
The work done under the International Partnership Program is less dramatic but has more immediate practical import. Croessmann notes that turning the shared US and Russian technology into commercial products makes formerly secret weapons-program research done by locked-away scientists available to consumers.
He points out that this is true for both sides. After all, he observes, "we were locked away too."
21st century materials
Under the IPP, which Sen. Pete Domenici (R) of New Mexico authored, each agreement must include one or more DOE laboratories, one or more equivalent Russian research institutions, and one or more US companies.
Several major partnerships are already under way in electronics. Others are being explored in oil and gas recovery technology and generating radioactive isotopes for medical uses.
One of the most promising areas is materials science, where some 35 small partnerships are working. Croessmann says that the program now wants to boost efforts in this area and will try to develop more large-scale partnerships.
He considers that this will be an important field in the 21st century. Noting that Russians are leaders in materials science, he says, "We can learn an amazing amount from them."

By MARY CLARE JALONICK
Congress enacted a massive farm bill Thursday with new and bigger subsidies for farmers, plus more food stamps for the poor.
But first Democrats had to eat a little crow that dimmed the election-year victory of overriding President Bush's veto for only the second time during his seven years in office.
Omitted from the $290 billion, five-year law because of a printing mistake was a small amount of money to address a growing global hunger crisis. Democrats only realized the mistake on Wednesday, just before the House voted 316-108 to override Bush's veto.
The Senate joined the override Thursday with a 82-13 vote. Eager to begin a Memorial Day vacation, the issue of helping starving countries was left for another day.
"I take responsibility for what happened here," said a chagrined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She said her reaction was "uncustomarily crude" upon learning that the 34 pages dealing with international food aid and trade were omitted from the bill sent to Bush.
Republicans and the White House accused the Democrats of incompetence.
"It seems that the congressional debate on the pork-laden farm bill is coming to an inglorious conclusion," White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.
Bush claimed the legislation was too expensive and too generous with subsidies for farmers who are enjoying record high prices and incomes. He had opposed the legislation from the start, threatening his first veto last July.
A bipartisan group of negotiators on the bill made small cuts to subsidies to appease the White House, but Bush said it wasn't enough.
Still, congressional Republicans overwhelmingly abandoned Bush in voting to override the legislation, overlooking its cost amid public concern about the weak economy and high gasoline and grocery prices. GOP lawmakers are anxious about their own prospects less than six months before Election Day.
Despite the bipartisan nature of the bill, the printing error turned a triumphant political victory into a vexing embarrassment for Democrats.
The party's leaders in the House decided to pass the bill again, including the missing section in the version that Bush received. That vote was 306-110, again enough to override another veto from Bush should the need arise.
Democratic leadership aides said the Senate will deal with the problem when Congress returns in June from a one-week vacation.
House Republicans berated Democrats for the error and raised questions that the law would be unconstitutional because it was not the full bill passed by the House and Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the process was entirely legal.
"We have, under good legal precedent, going back to a case I understand in 1892 where something like this happened before, it is totally constitutional," he said.
Likewise, Pelosi's office released a statement from the House parliamentarian saying the incomplete bill could legally become law because Bush had vetoed that version.
About two-thirds of the law would pay for nutrition programs such as food stamps, which would see increases of around $1 billion a year. About $40 billion is for farm subsidies and almost $30 billion would go to farmers to idle their land and for other environmental programs.
The farm bill also would:
- Increase subsidies for some crops and for the first time subsidize growers of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Extend and expand dairy programs.
- Increase loan rates for sugar producers.
- Expand a program to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to schoolchildren.
- Cut a per-gallon ethanol tax credit for refiners from 51 cents to 45 cents. The credit supports the blending of fuel with the corn-based additive. More money would go to cellulosic ethanol, made from plant matter.
- Require that meats and other fresh foods carry labels with their country of origin.

The cheetah population has been reduced by nearly 90% over the course of the past century. Only 10,000 cheetahs remain, with approximately half residing in Namibia. Though the Namibian government places great importance on environmentalism, being the only country in the world addressing conservation laws in the constitution, cheetahs continue to be threatened amongst man.
Deemed as a "human-wildlife conflict" by the Cheetah Conservation Fund, farmers continue to indiscriminately shoot and kill thousands of cheetahs in order to protect their livestock. Seeing through the eyes of conservationist fighting hard to save a dying species and the farmers who are just trying to survive, it becomes harder to find the line between right and wrong.
This currently in production documentary seeks to explore this collision between man's duty to preserve the natural world and the obstacles it can often create in the pursuit of our own survival.

Our YouTube video clip shows highlights (without narration) from the University of Hawai'i Mānoa Campus Center location of World Voice Day in Hawai`i. The John A. Burns School of Medicine Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders helped make April 16 the FIRST-EVER World Voice Day in Hawai`i. Even Governor Neil Abercrombie recognized the importance of the event by issuing a ceremonial proclamation commemorating the occasion. And news stories, including those on the BBC, mentioned that World Voice Day 2013 would "end with the sunset in Hawai`i."
So why commemorate Voice Day? Well, most of us become hoarse or experience losing our voice during severe colds, which are common this time of year. But we rarely think how devastating it could be to lose our voices for good.
"The voice is vital in communicating at work, school or in everyday social interactions, said Aaron Ziegler, Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) at the UH John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). "The long-term consequences of poor voice care can range from damaged vocal cords and chronic hoarseness to deadly head and neck cancers," said Ziegler, a speech-language pathologist and singing voice specialist whose clinical interests are in voice and swallowing disorders. Voice related health problems are believed to result in annual health care costs of $2.5 billion.
Some people damage their voice by smoking, shouting, drinking too much alcohol, or through poor speaking technique. When problems occur, if treatment is ignored, more significant problems can develop, Ziegler explained. If problems persist longer than three weeks, or recur more than three times a year, you should have your voice checked by a professional.
Hawai`i's World Voice Day included an informational booth (pictured) the University of Hawai`i Mānoa Campus Center and an evening program at the Orvis Auditorium. At 7:30 p.m., Hawai`i participate in a global World Voice Day concert, hosted by a prominent voice scientist in Sweden, Dr. Johan Sundberg. Th evening's keynote address at Orvis was by Katherine Verdolini Abbott, PhD, University of Pittsburgh (Title: Science & theology; religion & health)
The American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) is also promoting the international health observance day for the human voice, by asking members of the public to assess their voice quality and recognize that harmful speaking techniques, use of tobacco and alcohol, and diet and other lifestyle choices can easily and irrevocably damage the voice.
World Voice Day gives vocal health experts an opportunity to bring renewed awareness about vocal health to the general public and to professionals who have built careers around their voices. The AAO-HNS offers a few simple vocal health tips:
• Never smoke.
• Keep yourself well hydrated. Water is the best.
• Reflux can damage your vocal cords – consider what you eat.
• Don't scream or shout. Use a microphone if you need to project your voice.
• Rest your voice if you have laryngitis.
• Get evaluated by an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat physician) if you have persistent hoarseness for more than three weeks.
About Communication Sciences & Disorders
For more than 45 years, the University of Hawai'i Speech and Hearing Clinic has been providing speech, language, and hearing services to the Hawai'i community. The clinic provides multi-disciplinary diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic services to children and adults on an outpatient basis. Our clinic has been reborn in a new suite of offices and clinical space at the Gold Bond Building, Suite 625, on 677 Ala Moana Boulevard.
Our graduates work in Hawai`i's public schools, healthcare facilities, nursing homes, serving the military, and in private practice.
We help those who:
• Have lost the ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage including stroke or head injuries sustained in falls or accidents
• Those who stutter
• Have articulation and language disorders
• Language-based learning disorders
• Have suffered traumatic brain injury
• Have voice and swallowing disorders
• Suffer autism
• Suffer dementia
• Suffer hearing loss
Also, we help Hawai`i comply with federal law which mandates speech pathology in the schools for qualified children. Early intervention often helps to reduce or avoid more severe communication disorders and improves academic outcomes.
New Services for the Public:
- Two doctoral-level assistant professor/audiologists provide high-quality audiology services, including hearing evaluation and hearing aid dispensing and fitting.
- Our sound booth, audiological diagnostic testing equipments, and hearing aid fitting and verification devices are all newly purchased.
- We fit state-of-art digital hearing aids based on individual's need.
- We provide individualized clinical care to serve people with hearing impairment.
- We accept patients with a variety of health insurances for audiology services.
- We are taking patients for hearing evaluation now, and will begin hearing aid services next month (May 2013).
All CSD faculty members are active members of the Hawai`i Speech-Language and Hearing Association, with our department chair, Dr. Henry Lew, currently serving as its President.
JABSOM's Communications and Science Disorders Department also works to:
Our graduates usually obtain jobs as a clinical fellows in speech-language pathology and become certified SLPs upon completion of their fellowship.
As Hawai`i's population ages, we expect more instances of health conditions that cause speech or language impairments, such as strokes and hearing loss. These increases are expected to add to the number of speech and language disorders in the population and require more speech-language pathologists to treat these patients.
CSD also conducts research into communications disorders. One ongoing study aims to learn whether the deployment of U.S. military members has caused them to suffer significant hearing loss. Another project is seeking to discern whether standard measures to evaluate language-learning difficulties need to be revised to take into account cultural differences among people, including those for whom English is a second language.

Ten Second Review
The Mazda2 may offer a slimmed-down range these days by that doesn't mean a slimmed-down dose of appeal. This is still one of the best small cars to drive, the range these days based around 1.3-litre petrol power, with the additional option of an automatic variant.
This model first arrived in the UK in 2003 as essentially a re-badged Ford Fusion but the second generation version that arrived here in 2007 was much more its own car, even though it shared much with Ford's Fiesta supermini under the skin. From the start, the car's sharp handling won admirers, thanks to Mazda's use of ultralight yet strong steels. To improve things further, the bodyshell was stiffened in 2011 to give even better road holding and ride comfort. A bit more 'zoom zoom' if you like. This car accounts for around a quarter of Mazda's UK sales volume, but it's been rather a forgotten model in recent times, despite the most recent styling changes and interior enhancements which offer a heightened sense of quality. Hence Mazda's addition of well specified 'Colour Edition' and 'Sport Colour Edition' variants early in 2014. These joined the high value Tamura models already on sale.
Driving Experience
Under the bonnet, buyers will find an upgraded Euro 5-compliant powertrain line-up. Today's range is based around a 1.3-litre petrol unit, offered with either 75 or 84PS, plus there's also an automatic version if you want it. So does it zoom zoom? Well yes, up to a point. The high-mounted gear lever shifts neatly and the whole car feels handy and light on its feet. It never feels unstable and the steering's quick acting. Performance-wise, the 75PS 1.3 will cover the 0-62mph dash in 14.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 104mph. The 84PS 1.3 by comparison is of course sprightlier and will do 0-62mph in 13.6 seconds and keep going to a top speed of 106mph. If your experience of Mazda2 motoring is limited to the original version of this car, on the road, you should notice the benefits of the package of changes introduced in 2011. These included a stiffer bodyshell which, along with revised rear dampers and tweaked front suspension geometry, has improved the handling. The changes may be modest individually, but with the whole greater than the parts, the result is a car that now feels more planted to the road without losing any of its verve for life. The automatic petrol model with its obligatory four-speed automatic transmission is worth looking at if you're urban-bound.
Design and Build
These days, only a five-door bodystyle is on offer, giving flexibility to parents who perhaps have young children and are looking for a small runabout. Those back doors certainly make wrestling Junior into the rear childseat a lot easier than would be the case if they were having to lean through in a three-door model. And there are ISOFIX fastenings for said seat. There are a trio of three-point rear seatbelts in the Mazda2, but five adults in the back is a bit ambitious, as is the case with all superminis. Two adults will be reasonably comfortable in the rear for short to medium-length journeys however and space for bigger passengers in the front isn't an issue. The Mazda2 is essentially par for the class in this respect. The exterior styling looks classy and dynamic thanks to a package of aesthetic changes introduced in 2011. These included a smarter nose, revised front fog lamp bezels and more striking wheels. And, at that point, Mazda addressed criticisms of the previous generation car by paying particular attention to the look, feel and touch of the interior, reworked to reflect the outside upgrade. There's certainly a high quality feel about the cabin, with the plasticky bits in the original model replaced by a much classier redesigned instrument panel with 'blackout' finished dials and chrome rings, plus a centre stack in piano black. Other feel-good features include smart seat patterns and bright seat fabric colours.
Market and Model
Expect to pay somewhere in the £11,000 to £13,500 bracket for your Mazda2, now only offered with five doors. That's about par for the supermini course. There are cheaper rivals but also many more pricey ones. Mazda clearly hopes that this car's improved quality, zippier feel and high equipment levels will give it an advantage over obvious rivals like Ford's Fiesta, Vauxhall's Corsa, Renault's Clio and Peugeot's 208. Superminis like this one are light years on from the days when floor mats were offered as optional extras. Whether you choose 1.3 or 1.5-litre petrol power, every Mazda2 comes with standard equipment that includes air conditioning, remote central locking, a Thatcham Category One alarm, electric front windows and door mirrors, plus a decent quality MP3-compatible CD stereo with auxiliary jack. Safety equipment across the range includes ABS, electronic brake force distribution and emergency brake assist. Go for the Colour edition version (with the lower-powered 1.3-litre engine) and you also get 15-inch dark grey alloy wheels, privacy glass and Jet Black door mirror housings and rear spoiler. Inside there is black seat trim with red piping, a leather steering wheel with remote audio controls, gloss dark grey inserts to the steering wheel and audio panel, Parrot Bluetoothhandsfree and body-colour door trim and outer air vents louvres. The 'Sport Colour Edition' variant with the pokier 1.3-litre unit adds 16-inch dark grey alloy wheels, Sports styling kit, Sports headlamps and front fog lights. The cabin boasts a new state-of-the-art 6.1-inch Mazda Navigation System with integrated Bluetooth, a trip computer, leather gear knob, electric rear windows, two additional audio speakers and an adjustable speed alarm, plus side and curtain airbags.
Cost of Ownership
Though there's no diesel now on offer, fuel economy from the two petrol units isn't too bad. Expect to see combined cycle fuel figures of 56.5mpg for the 1.3-litre models and 44.8mpg for the auto 1.5. Insurance groupings (10E to 12E) are a little higher than rivals. Still, you can balance that against stronger residuals thanks to impressive build quality, reliability and durability. The evidence is simple - just try to buy a used Mazda2 and you will find owners very reluctant indeed to part with theirs. If you want to save money on your road tax, then bear in mind that the C-band rated 1.3 litre petrol models are zero-rated for the first year and then £30 a year after that. All models come with three year/60,0000 mile warranty and three year European Roadside Assistance.

A woman found dead Monday night in a car at Anheuser-Busch Sports Park on the Northwest Side probably shot herself, police said.
The body of Pamela Sparrow, 56, of the Northwest Side, was found at 6:15 p.m., after people noticed a strong odor coming from the car. The car was parked on a lot near one of the softball fields but was not in a space.
Police cordoned off the area in the popular park at 4990 Olentangy River Rd. while they investigated. They said they found a handgun, and suicide was suspected.
An autopsy determined that the woman died of a gunshot to the chest, but the manner of her death will be left open pending further testing and until police conclude their investigation.
Those experiencing suicidal thoughts can contact a 24-hour suicide-prevention hot line at 614-221-5445.

In fact, the Saudi government would prefer to see the democratically elected (mostly Sunni and Christian) Lebanese government deposed and replaced by an Islamic system, modeled perhaps on the Wahhabis in Riyadh, the Alawites in Damascus, or the Mullahs in Tehran.

While many people were out late last night grabbing last minute Black Friday deals, local merchants in the historic downtown Nacogdoches were gearing up for a special day of their own: "Small Business Saturday."
Shop owners celebrated the third annual shopping holiday, which was created by American Express in 2010 to drive shoppers to local merchants across the United States.,by offering several sales, food and entertainment to customers.
Sarah O' Brien, the Communications Manager and Director for Nacogdoches Main Street, says she likes to encourage locals to shop in their hometown, especially during the holidays.
"Well, I like to tell people to put their money where their house is. When you shop local, you're supporting your local government and you're supporting your local business owners who give back to the community and hire local employees and it's just an all around benefit for everybody," O'Brien said.
This is the second year Nacogdoches has participated in the event. O'Brien says even though they are new to the national movement, she has seen increased foot traffic to the downtown district. She says alot of that has to do with the city's Nine Flags Christmas Festival and Wassail Fest, but that alot of it has to do with visitors getting to know the store owners on days like "Small Business Saturday."
