The owners of Taboo, a popular downtown Eugene nightclub, are the only people so far to be penalized for a series of violent incidents that unfolded along West Sixth Avenue one night last year.
Police said two men were stabbed and another knocked unconscious in a brawl outside the club at 23 W. Sixth Ave., during the early morning hours of Feb. 3, 2008.
That melee during which witnesses told police that a man pulled a shotgun from his pants and pointed it at several people, including a Taboo bouncer allegedly erupted after an 18-year-old man beat up a 19-year-old woman on the club�s dance floor, police reports show. Taboo is open to the 18-and-older set, and a section of the club serves alcohol and is open only to those 21 and up.
In an unrelated encounter that night, a 20-year-old woman told investigators that her ex-boyfriend assaulted her just after she entered Taboo. According to police, the woman needed seven staples to close a head wound she suffered.
Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the fights but said Tuesday that the investigation continues.
Meanwhile, Taboo�s owners were ordered this week to pay a $3,795 fine to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for not doing more to prevent the alleged fight inside the club from escalating into something far worse outside. It�s unusual for a night club to be fined over a violent brawl, and the OLCC said the fine is at the �higher end� of the penalties the agency typically issues.
Taboo co-owner Jeff Gaulton said he agreed to pay the fine as part of a settlement with the state agency so he didn�t have to hire an attorney to challenge the allegations at a hearing.
Gaulton doesn�t think it�s fair that his club was singled out for punishment, and said that some witness statements included in police reports that OLCC provided to The Register-Guard are untrue.
Gaulton acknowledged a confrontation took place inside Taboo on Feb. 3, but denies it was a physical altercation.
He said the people involved in the club dispute were kicked out, and what happened afterward included not only Taboo patrons, but people who had attended a rap concert at an adjacent club.
�We had some tension inside the room, and we removed that tension,� Gaulton said. �When (the fight) went down, it went down outside, with a mix of people from next door.�
Police reports detail scene
Police reports show that several witnesses including a Taboo bouncer said the problems started when an 18-year-old man fought with a 19-year-old woman on the club�s dance floor.
The bouncer told police that he moved several people involved in that incident out of the club.
That�s where the bouncer heard the man who had allegedly fought with the woman tell someone to retrieve a shotgun, according to a police report written by Eugene officer Ryan Molony.
Witnesses told police a separate fight then began outside the club.
The bouncer said he was trying to break it up when a man armed with a shotgun pointed it at him and threatened to shoot him, Molony�s report states.
Another witness said the armed man threatened several people with the weapon, Molony wrote.
The bouncer told Molony that he recognized the shotgun-wielding man from the club.
The report states that the bouncer said the man who had allegedly fought with the woman on Taboo�s dance floor had been banned from the club six months earlier, after he brought a knife inside.
Gaulton, who was at Taboo the night of the fights, acknowledged that Taboo should not have allowed the man back in the club. Gaulton runs the club with co-owners Jeff Lowe and Stevan Jaffe.
Eugene police Detective Mel Thompson wrote in a separate report that the fracas outside Taboo �involved 20 to 30 individuals from both factions from the earlier fight inside the club and others that had not been previously involved.�
Police said that during the brawl, one man was knocked unconscious when he was hit in the head by someone armed with brass knuckles.
Two more men were stabbed one of them in the neck, the other several times in his back, neck and head.
All three men were hospitalized, and the person who suffered multiple stab wounds had his spleen removed during an emergency surgery. They all survived.
Club�s security upgraded
More than a year later, Eugene police spokeswoman Jenna LaBounty said detectives are still working on the case.
An investigation into a separate reported assault by the 20-year-old woman who said she was injured by an ex-boyfriend just after entering Taboo about 2:30 a.m. the same morning also remains open.
Gaulton did not discuss the second incident, but he emphasized that he�s not aware of any violence taking place inside his club. He also said he�s certain that no patron brought a weapon into Taboo the night of the fights.
Still, state investigators said Gaulton and his employees should have done more to prevent the violence.
A report written by Liquor Control Commission investigator Mark Jaehnig said Taboo erred by not immediately reporting the alleged fight on the dance floor to police, which Jaehnig said violates the club�s policies and state regulations.
Jaehnig�s report also notes that the man who witnesses said fought with the woman inside Taboo had been allowed back in despite the fact that he had previously been banned for carrying a knife into the club.
Jaehnig said that since the fights, the club has upgraded security by adding surveillance cameras, checking patrons with a security wand before allowing them in, and taking photos of anyone who has been banned.
�Jeff and his staff have been extremely cooperative, not only throughout this investigation, but in adding measures to ensure that sort of thing didn�t happen again,� Jaehnig said Tuesday.
Gaulton said he feels badly that people were injured outside his club, and wishes that hadn�t been the case.
�I�m just saying that I don�t know what we could have done better to make sure that nobody got hurt,� he said. �As a venue, we did everything we could.�

Caramel Crunch Brownies, or should that be Caramel Crunch Bars? Dense chocolate brownie base slathered in creamy caramel crunch and then topped with thick rich dark chocolate ganache.
Chocolate Banana Brownies with Dulce De Leche
Caramel Chocolate Crackle Tart
Chocolate Cheesecake Crackle Pie
Super Easy Milo Slice
There is always a box of rice bubbles (rice crispies) in my pantry. We don't eat them for breakfast, they are totally utilised for cooking. Usually finding their way into recipes that involve chocolate.
I love the texture and crunch that puffed rice cereal adds to chocolate. It is probably one of the simplest ways to add interest and texture to chocolate. In this case they were used to make the caramel crunch in these caramel crunch brownies.
You will find recipes for caramel crunch brownies, caramel crunch bars and chocolate crunch bars all of the internet. This particular recipe has been adapted from Donna Hay's caramel crunch brownie recipe.
I've adapted the recipe as, to be quite frank, the Donna Hay recipe weights and temperatures were a little out of whack. If somebody from the Donna Hay team is reading this, 160 Deg C does not equal 350 Deg F.
To be honest the Donna Hay mistakes made me feel good. Okay, so that sounds rather sad on my part, but It showed that being a blogger or a National magazine, we all make mistakes. I know that the wonderful Belly Rumbles' readers email me on the odd occasion. "Sara, where do I add the vanilla? You mention it in the ingredients, but not the method." I really do try to not stuff things up guys, but it does happen.
Once something goes to print there really isn't much you can do about it. What surprises me is that the corrections haven't been made to the online version of Donna's recipe….
These caramel crunch brownies are rich and decadent. The caramel is creamy with the fun crunch of puffed rice. Sandwiched between a dense dark chocolate brownie base and a generous slathering of rich dark chocolate ganache.
Recipe hazard zones
Dark Chocolate Brownie
Watch the timing when cooking. Check brownie with a skewer around the 15 minute mark. I used a 23cm (9 inch) square tin as it was the one I own which has a removable base (push tin). You could use a 20cm (8 inch) tin for a thicker base if you would prefer, but the cooking time will be a little longer, around 25 minutes.
Caramel Crunch
When first dissolving the sugar over a low heat brush any sugar crystals from the sides of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush. This will help prevent your caramel crystallising.
Have cream and butter ready to add to the sugar mixture as soon as it gets to temperature.
Use a saucepan which will give you ample room for the caramel to bubble up when adding the cream and butter. It will bubble up quite dramatically, be very careful to not burn yourself from the steam it creates as well.
It is essential to use a whisk to incorporate the cream when pouring it into the sugar mixture. I find it easiest to add the cream first, whisk that in, and then add the butter.
Chocolate Ganache
To avoid burning the ganache melt the chocolate into the cream over a low heat. I tend to remove the saucepan from the heat and continue to mix. Placing it back on the heat if needed to continue melting the chocolate. Using grated chocolate, or finely chopped chocolate will also make the task easier.
Special equipment for this recipe
23cm (9 inch) loose base square cake tin. Having a loose base (push tin) will make your life so much easier when it comes to removing the caramel crunch brownies from the tin. If you don't have a square loose base tin, you could use a round one. Cut the caramel crunch brownies into thin wedges instead of bars or squares.
I use a candy thermometer that hooks on to the side of my saucepan. This allows me to leave it in the bubbling sugar mixture permanently while cooking. Most candy thermometers come with some sort of hook or attaching method.
Special Ingredients for this Recipe
All ingredients for this recipe are probably in your fridge and pantry right now. In regard to the chocolate ganache, use a good quality chocolate that you like the taste of. I used a dark chocolate which was 70% cocoa.
What to do with any leftovers
These caramel crunch brownies are rich, a small piece goes a long way. There will be leftovers unless you are making this for entertaining. Store unrefrigerated in an airtight container and best eaten within two days. Alternatively, they will keep in the fridge for longer, which is where my leftovers are right now. But it is important to note that the ganache may discolour a little and the caramel will become rock solid. If you are going to eat all of the caramel crunch brownies within two days, my advice is don't refrigerate.

Video Shows Maryland Cop Beating Teenager in Head with Gun
Kurt Nimmo
September 4, 2012
Last week, a Fox News station in Baltimore, Maryland, received a surveillance video showing a Prince County, Maryland, cop beating a teenager in the head with a gun.
Ryan Dorm had not committed a crime, but despite this the cops considered him and a friend suspicious. The two men were wearing ski masks while buying food as at gas station on Perry Street in Brentwood, Maryland. Dorm later said he was wearing a ski mask because it was cold.
Corporal Donald Taylor said Dorm had assaulted him and his gun went off as he struggled with Dorm. The surveillance video, released after Dorm had spent months in prison, reveals what has now become routine – the cop lied and an innocent man spent time in prison.
Taylor was indicted after the video was made public. He faces misconduct, reckless endangerment and second-degree assault…

Foreclosure Mediation Program-Pinellas and Pasco
Court Ordered Foreclosure Mediation Program-Good for Everyone
The 6th Judicial Circuit Court for Pinellas and Pasco Counties recently announced the launching of a foreclosure mediation program that is hopefully going to reduce the more than 33,000 foreclosure cases currently pending on the Court's docket, as reported by the St. Petersburg Times. Starting this week, the first week of July, homeowners entering the foreclosure mediation program can deal directly with their lender that can lead to a solution allowing them to keep their home. The program requires that the lenders meet with the homeowner and a certified mediator to work out a payment plan. Options might include a loan modification, extended loan terms or a short sale. All of these are more desirable than an outright foreclosure. The bank does not really want to foreclose and take possession of a home any more than a homeowner wants to be foreclosed.
The Foreclosure Mediation Program is a court ordered , official and COST-FREE program. The court ordered the mediation program so that using a professionally mediated process, foreclosures may be settled before going through the full foreclosure process. This saves the courts time and resources that are in short supply. The court's goal is to reduce the load on the system so that foreclosures are handled in mediation and other actions can get more of the courts focus.
To qualify, a foreclosure of a homesteaded property that is filed on or after July 1 will be subject to court ordered mediation unless the homeowner declines. For foreclosures filed prior to July, mediation is voluntary. Lenders do not need to participate in the voluntary process.
Under the new program from the 6th Circuit Court, lenders must cover the $750 mediation fee that can be added to a foreclosure action if resolution isn't reached.
Florida has the nation's third highest rate of foreclosure filings, with 1 in every 174 properties.
There are more than 33,000 current foreclosure cases in Pinellas-Pasco at the moment at various stages of progress. Just this year there have been 3,100 new residential filings for foreclosure. There will be many more foreclosures filed in the coming months, since the housing crisis is not anywhere near over. Under this court ordered foreclosure mediation program, homeowners in Pinellas and Pasco counties have the opportunity to get professional mediation assistance and actually deal directly with their lenders, which has been very frustrating because until this program, banks have very often ignored their borrowers.

Games 30 & 31 - Red Sox
Streak Ends and Look Out BeLowe
Red Sox 9, Royals 1
Royals 8, Red Sox 4
Record: 19-12
The Sox last 15 games (prior to yesterday's result - I'm trying to make a point) are a great illustration of how day-to-day examination of a baseball season can make a body certifiably bi-polar. A detached fan looks at the Sox' 10-5 record over that span and says, "Sweet". A more diehard fan (read: miserable lunatic) parses the stretch into a 6-game winning streak (okay, now we're talking), and 5-game losing streak (moving to the ledge now), and a subsequent 4-game winning run (and...we're up again).
All of which is to say that the beauty of the 162-game baseball season, with its variable but predictable rhythms, is easily lost on people like me, who live and die every day with their teams. Today's another example. The Sox are 19-12, in first place in the AL East, but I'm more down than up because they lost a winnable game against the mediocre Royals and the Yankees made their second 6-run comeback in a week to top the Mariners. (Another AL West team rolling over against New York. Not that I'm bitter or anything.)
Derek Lowe continues to confound, and really isn't making much of a case for a substantial raise in this, the last year of his contract. (His agent, Scott Boras, aka the Death of Baseball, will clearly disagree.) Lowe had two outs and a runner on second in the top of the 6th with the score tied at 2. He'd pitched pretty well to that point, but simply lost his command, walking the bases loaded and giving up a bleeder that opened the KC floodgates. One out and the Sox go on to win the game, because they could have leveraged the bullpen for the late stages of the contest. Instead, Lowe's now 3-3 with a 5.01 ERA, and easily the worst of the Sox starters.
Pokey Reese hit two homeruns in the middle game of the KC series, which means that we should all do the things that we've been putting off, because the world is about to end. Granted, one was an inside-the-park job aided and abetted by KC's Juan Gonzalez, who seemed to believe momentarily that the baseball was a hand grenade. After Pokey's second tater, Dave McCarty touched off his first homer of the season, which was disappointing because it may make Terry Francona believe that McCarty has any redeeming value. Which of course, we know to be demonstrably false.
Curt Schilling pitched a complete game to back Pokey's muscles, which was very cool to see after several seasons of holding my breath when Pedro goes over 100 pitches. I'm sure the bullpen was grateful, too, though they haven't had a ton of work of late. Good thing, because B.H. Kim goes tonight against the Indians, and he's on a limited pitch count.

Everything began at the start of the 20th century when the Detomas family comprised several male children and just one girl. They emigrated to Switzerland to find work, with the intention of later building a home. Being located on high grounds, the valley in those days was very poor and did not bear much fruit but every family had its stable and milk was turned to butter and cheese. The situation was better in the nearby valley of Fiemme, closer to the Adige valley and to the town. The Detomas siblings worked in several places of the Ex-Austro-Hungarian Empire and also in Switzerland. Upon their return they built the old hotel "Alle Dolomiti", in the strategic point of that which was once known as the "Pass of San Giovanni", in honour of the historical church located alongside it. Pretty soon, near the hotel, a petrol station was built in addition to the post house and a post office rose on the ground floor (postal service took place through the use of wagons just like for the transport of food)
Especially during the summer season, the first clients were enthusiasts of the beauty of the Dolomites: geologists, alpinist, reporters, transit travellers and incognito famous personalities. Afterwards many families who wanted to enjoy the healthy alpine air started to arrive. Several are the letters of reservation made by the clients of the time who used to spend whole months in the hotel.
The brochures, which we still keep in our possession, tell the story of the various past transits that have taken place in the Hotel Dolomiti and are also beautiful social testimonies. The availability of water in the bedrooms is an example of this: in the beginning it was brought in jars by the staff or directly by the owners; then cold water started to be available directly in the room. Hot water became available after some years and now the hotel offers various Jacuzzis and the Wellness centre.
These memories and these testimonies are very important for us and they have allowed us to learn about the hotel up from its origins and its evolution through the years, keeping in mind that we have to thank our forefathers, whose footsteps we are following.
We, the 4th generation Detomas are hoteliers at heart and not business entrepreneurs. We consider ourselves a family that understands the needs of all of those who want to spend an enjoyable holiday with friends, in total safety, pampered, and serene at the same time, just like amongst family.

Porky Payout is one of the luxury themed slot machines, but it has its own twist to insert in the story, and that's the fact that the main protagonist is actually a very rich pig. The luxury theme has been mixed with animals before, using pigs, dogs, cats and even foxes, so it's not exactly original, though it's not widespread either. You will encounter a pretty average looking design, you will get a chance to go through scatter and wild symbols, and also trigger bonus games if the requirements are met. You have 20 lines active, 5 reels, and you get a chance to win $150,000, which is the best surprise of all.
Betting and Prizes
Porky Payout slot will accept bets of up to $200 to be made on its 20 lines, if they are all active that is. You have 1 to 20 coins allowed to be used on each line, and their denomination will start from $0.01 and can be taken up to $0.50. That way, the line bet will reach a value of $10, while the total gets to the $200 I mentioned before.
The big payout in this case stands at 15,000x, which is a great prize to look forward to, one of the better that are issued by slot machines. You can get 300,000 coins through it, or up to $150,000.
Porky Payout Slot Features
That impressive top jackpot of 15,000x is delivered by a combination of five wild Porky symbols, which appear grouped together on a payline. Combinations may form with even fewer symbols, the minimum needed being two that show up next to each other, going from the left side. The Porky icon is also a wild, so you will naturally use it as a replacement for those that need it.
The Gold Bar is the scatter of Porky Payout. You will have it appear anywhere in the game, and it will pay based on the total bet value, not the line bet. It will multiply that value by 2x to 100x, depending on the triggering symbols.
The bonus game also starts up with help from the scatter, and it will take you to a screen where you have to pick 6 of the 9 Gold Bars that are displayed in a 3x3 layout. You're going to get paid quite well in this feature, though your luck has a role to play as well.
Theme & Design
Porky Payout gets you a good theme, luxury related, but with the twist of having pigs as the main characters. These rich pigs will own gold bars, red sports cars, will have expensive jewelry and cigars. The only ones which don't really belong are the poker cards. You see in the background the vault room's interior, with the stacks of gold coins and cash.
Porky Payout is a cute slot machine, but its biggest strength appears to come from the large top payout that it promises.

Let's face it, we all need to find more time for the things we want and need to do! Most of us could use some great time savers in our busy lives. A few minutes here or there can go a long way!
A great deal of your day is spent "doing" things: tasks and chores. What's more, I can get off task and start doing something totally else, completely unplanned, for a long period of time, then look up and an hour of time could have passed. "Unplanned" is the operative word here.
Imagine being able to reduce the time spent on repetitive or time-consuming things and having more time to do what you need to get done and what you want to do! We all have obligations, but we also all have things we just like to do. Not having enough time to put the have-to's in balance with the want-to's just isn't fun! And when we aren't giving ourselves some personal time, that's a tragedy, because every single moment goes to doing for others before ourselves.
But, how can you put more of the fun and pleasurable things into your day when there's barely any time? Streamline! That's how.
Here are a few ways you can do the work now, setting yourself up to have that the freed time to enjoy later! These are easy things you can get into the habit of doing. If you pay attention, or keep note of them, you will find some of the stress of the day can be relieved because every minute is not filled "doing".
#1 Prepare meals (or portions of meals) to be eaten or cooked later.
This is called meal prep. I go into detail on how to make this a routine in my eDoc, titled "Meal Prep" (you can get that here), but the basic idea is that you do all of your chopping, separating, portioning and even cooking beforehand. Then, when you want to eat, your meals are ready or at least in a state of almost ready. Imagine coming near the end of a long, tiring day and you don't have to worry about or figure out what you will eat because you did that several days ago. All you have to do is select what you want, get it hot, and eat it! Consider this overnight oats recipe kept in my jar in the fridge. In the morning I can either warm the jar (sans lid) in the microwave or a pan of hot water, or empty into a pan to warm up, then eat, or take it with me to eat at work! Time saved!
I have an e-course for this and if you want more information about it, click here: Meal Prep For Beginners
#2 Clean as you use.
As you cook, wash. There should always be a sink of hot sudsy water while you cook so as you finish using things (utensils, platters, cutting boards, pots and pans), you can wash them up quickly. This also helps with keeping your countertops and the stove wiped and clean as well.
Who wants to stand in the kitchen after you've cooked to deal with a PILE of dirty things? Not I.
#3 File your mail as you get it.
Please, do NOT take the mail from the mailbox and stack it without going through said stack! It literally takes seconds! As you get mail, separate the junk mail from the important stuff. Junk mail goes in the trash. (Be sure you aren't throwing away things with any identifiable information, like an account number! Those pieces of mail should be shredded. See below.)
Mail you want to read right away, like bills or personal letters, should be read and then put in an action folder or stack. This means you are going to come back to deal with this mail, i.e. pay the bill, later.
Things you will need to file for future reference, like bank statements, need to go in a secure place like a file or desk drawer. Maybe you could use something like this accordian file that is labeled so you can find things easier.
Keep a letter stacker near your desk or kitchen counter. Also, it's a good idea to have a paper shredder close by so you can keep certain private information from going into the wrong hands. This is one I like, as it sits on my wastepaper basket. I can keep it in the ready by adjusting the switch or I can turn it off so nothing gets accidentally shredded through.
#4 Shower? Bath? Wash yourself. Wash your bathroom.
Bathroom cleaning, for me, is one of the least loved chore of all. I hate taking time out to do all that disinfecting and washing and scouring on cleaning day. I DO IT, and you'd be surprised how much easier it is than waiting until later to do it. I find it takes a whole lot less time if I clean as I go!
By that, I mean I will wash out the bathtub as soon as I get out, before any dirt and grime gets a chance to dry up. I keep cleaning wipes in the bathroom to swipe out the sink every morning. Yes, EVERY morning. When I'm done with the sink, I swipe with the wipe! It leaves the faucet shiny and removes any grimy leftovers from hand washing or teeth brushing. Don't let that build up.
There are also cleaners you can get that will automatically spray down your glass and tile in the shower. I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I find a spray bottle with a good biodegradable cleaner or a DIY cleaner will do the same thing. Step out of the shower, spray down the walls and surfaces. Let it sit for one minute while I dry off, then rinse the cleaner. So easy.
#5 Clean your makeup brushes as you go.
Okay, I know, you probably feel that this is going to slow you down in the morning. I used to think the same thing, but when I consider the bacteria that may be brewing up on my brushes, I got over it!
This isn't the deep washing we do monthly or semi-monthly. This is a quick spray wipe action to help keep your brushes relatively clean throughout the week.
I use this diy spray-on brush cleaner recipe from Everything Pretty:
- Pour 3 Tablespoons hot water and ½ teaspoon conditioner into a small, travel size spray bottle and shake well.
- Add 3 Tablespoons rubbing alcohol and shake again.
- This might separate, so shake before each use.
- To use, spray your brushes and rub on a clean cloth (microfiber works well) after each use. This will keep your brushes clean, sanitized, and soft.
I keep a clean washcloth near my makeup brushes so I can rub them after spraying.
These 5 timesavers are just a few of so many things you can do ahead of time that will save you a lot of time later! Please share in the comments any timesavers you have! I'd love to read what you use!

Two storms roared through the district this past weekend.
The first on Saturday night brought lots of rain and gusts of wind, something that we needed.
Then, early Monday morning with weather warnings out, Fort Frances and east of the town had trees toppled across power lines and streets and power outages from east of Fort Frances through to Rainy River.
We depend on our electricity and waking up in darkness Monday morning with lights flashing on the street, I had reached for a light switch, only to realize that we were without power.

Capt. Hilliard Wilbanks was a fighter pilot. When he went to war, that's the way he wanted to go. But in early 1966, the US was just getting into a major buildup in Vietnam. There was a shortage of pilots, and personal preferences went by the board. In April 1966, Wilbanks arrived in Vietnam as a forward air controller with the 21st Air Support Squadron, destined to fly a most unwarlike plane--the 105-mile-an-hour Cessna O-1 Bird Dog. Aside from additional communications gear and four wing pylons for target-marking smoke rockets, it was the same plane in which aspiring civilian pilots took their first lessons at the local airport on a Sunday morning.
Wilbanks may have been a frustrated fighter pilot, but he was also a professional who knew that the FACs were the key link in providing close air support to ground troops fighting in jungle country. By Feb. 24, 1967, he had survived 487 combat missions and had earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, 17 Air Medals, and the satisfaction of knowing that his work in spotting enemy

forces and directing fighter strikes against them had saved hundreds of allied lives. Two more months and he would be on the way home to his wife and four small children .Type your paragraph here.
Late on the afternoon of the 24th, Captain Wilbanks was in the air over the Central Highlands, about 100 miles north of Saigon. He was in radio contact with the senior American advisor of the 23d Vietnamese Ranger Battalion. The Rangers were advancing through a tea plantation that gave little cover when Wilbanks, intimately familiar with the terrain, spotted a trap ahead of them.
A large enemy force was concealed in camouflaged foxholes on a hillside. As Wilbanks radioed a warning to the Rangers, the enemy, knowing they had been seen, opened fire, pinning down two Vietnamese companies. Wilbanks fired a smoke rocket to mark the center of the Viet Cong position, drawing heavy fire on his frail O-1. The VC, knowing that fighters would soon be on the way, left their foxholes and charged down the slope toward the outnumbered Rangers.
Wilbanks knew the fighters would probably not arrive soon enough to save the day unless the Viet Cong attack could be temporarily disrupted. He had two alternatives: get out of range of Viet Cong fire and hope the F-4s would come in time, or attack with the only aviation ordnance he had--his remaining smoke rockets. Three times he dove through automatic weapons and small-arms fire, each time putting a white phosphorous rocket into the Viet Cong line. The momentarily disorganized attackers now knew that he had no more rockets. They moved forward once more against the Rangers.
Wilbanks had one last desperate alternative that might slow the attack for the few minutes needed to get fighters on target. He picked up the M-16 automatic rifle he always carried on missions and began a series of strafing attacks from an altitude of 100 feet, firing through the open side window and reloading between passes. Even with violent evasive maneuvers, which weren't possible while he was firing, his chance of survival against the firepower of a battalion-size force was remote. The veteran Wilbanks knew it.
On his third strafing run, the O-1 wavered. Wilbanks slumped over the controls, and his aircraft crashed 100 meters ahead of the Rangers. An Army advisor, Capt. Gary Vote, ran to the plane and pulled the unconscious Wilbanks from the wreckage. Two Army helicopter gunships that earlier had been driven off by enemy fire tried unsuccessfully to land by the crashed plane. Finally, a flight of F-4s roared in to strafe the enemy while a chopper picked up the wounded Wilbanks. He died before reaching a friendly base, but he had given the Rangers time to withdraw to safety.
On Jan. 25, 1968, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown presented the Medal of Honor to Wilbanks's widow, who was accompanied at the ceremony by two of their four children. In his heroic act of self-sacrifice, fighter pilot Wilbanks died while performing a fighter mission in the slowest and most fragile of USAF's aircraft. He fought his last battle with the heart of a tiger, on the wings of a hummingbird.

HOXB1 belongs to the homeobox family of genes. Additionally we are shipping HOXB1 Proteins (15) and and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 81 products:
a homozygous c.74_82dup (p.Pro28delinsHisSerAlaPro) variant was identified in one individual with double outlet right ventricle (DORV). We also identified five previously reported polymorphisms (rs35114525, rs12946855, rs14534040, rs12939811, and rs7207109) in 18 patients (12 DORV and 6 perimembranous VSD). Our study did not show any pathogenic alterations in the coding region of HOXB1 among patients with VSD.
This is the first disease-associated HOXB1 mutation with a likely loss-of-function effect suggesting that all HOXB1 variants reported so far also have severe impact on activity of this transcriptional regulator
findings revealed a novel homozygous mutation p.Arg230Trp (c.688C>T) within the HOXB1 gene of three members of a Turkish family with hereditary congenital facial paresis (HCFP3)
HOXB1 functions as a tumor suppressor, regulated by miR-3175 in glioma.
The resulting phenotype includes bilateral facial palsy, hearing loss, and strabismus and correlates extensively with the previously reported Hoxb1(-/-) mouse phenotype.
HOXA1 A218G and HOXB1 nINS/INS variants may not contribute significantly to autism spectrum disorders risk
Hoxb1 Expression Induces Cell Fate Changes in the Trunk Neural Tube.
analysis of a tethered-hopping model for protein-DNA binding and unbinding based on Sox2-Oct1-Hoxb1 ternary complex simulations
Data show that inducible Hox genes are selectively sensitive to the inhibition of actin polymerization and that actin polymerization is required for the assembly of a transcription complex on the regulatory region of the Hox genes.
It is unlikely that HoxB1 plays a significant role in the genetic predisposition to autism.
Variation not associated with autism in an Indian population.
UTX directly binds to the HOXB1 locus and is required for its activation
HoxB1 interacts with Pax6 and enhances its transcriptional activity. This interaction was modeled on a demonstrated interaction between zebrafish Pax6 and human HoxB1.
Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 are required for pharyngeal arch artery development.
Hoxa1 and Hoxb1 have diverged in function through either sub- or neo-functionalization and that the HoxA1 and HoxB1 proteins are not mutually interchangeable when expressed from the Hoxa1 locus
provide a comprehensive account of the developmental role of Hoxb1 in patterning the vestibular system and evidence for a remarkable developmental plasticity in the descending control of reflex limb movements
These data suggest that Hoxb1 and Hoxa1 are more phenotypically divergent than previously reported and support that sub- and/or neofunctionalization has occurred in these paralogous genes leading to a divergence of gene function and incomplete redundancy
Hoxb1 regulates proliferation and differentiation of second heart field progenitors in pharyngeal mesoderm and genetically interacts with Hoxa1 during cardiac outflow tract development.
Hoxb1 is required for the anterior-posterior identity of precursors that contribute to the lateral vestibular nucleus.
The results of this study show that ES neural differentiation and inducible Hox gene expression can be used as a sensitive model system to systematically identify Hox novel target genes.
identified a novel Hoxb3 binding site S3 on the Hoxb1 locus and confirmed protein binding to this site in hindbrain tissues from the Hoxb3(Tg) mutant
Analysis of two distinct retinoic acid response elements in the homeobox gene Hoxb1 in transgenic mice
Hoxb1 has a role in neural crest development into glia of the peripheral nervous system
Results suggest that tissues are primed to express Hox genes, such as Hoxb1, early in gastrulation, concomitant with primitive streak formation and extension, and that Hox gene inducibility is transferred by cell to cell signalling.
results describe the functional requirements in hindbrain neuronal patterning that follow the establishment of the genetic regulatory hierarchy between Hoxa1, Hoxb1 and Hoxb2
the development and maintenance of the VIIth cranial nerve is dependent upon Hoxb1, both in the neural crest-derived glia and in the facial branchiomotor neurons
the activity of the Hoxb1 autoregulatory enhancer depends upon multiple Prep1-Pbx1 (PM1, PM2, and PM3) and Pbx1-Hoxb1 (R1 and R3) binding sites that cooperate to modulate and spatially restrict the expression of Hoxb1 in r4 rhombomere
The mice expressing the Hox-B1 protein from the Hoxa1 locus, and vice versa, are essentially normal.
Hoxb1 contains the cis-acting elements sufficient to initiate ectopic local nuclear reorganisation and chromatin decondensation and to break Hoxd colinearity in the primitive streak region of the early embryo.
Hoxb1 controls cell fate specification and proliferative capacity of neural stem and progenitor cells
Data indicate that hox genes hoxb1a and hoxb1b have separate functions in hindbrain development.
Hoxb1b is likely to directly regulate ppp1r14al expression in rhombomere 4.
Hoxb1a target Prickle1b functions cell-autonomously to control facial neuron migration, a single aspect of r4 identity.
This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, located on different chromosomes, consisting of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXB genes located in a cluster on chromosome 17.

Penile Traction Therapy: Works for Enlargement and Curvature
Penile traction therapy has been around for quite a while but is just recently being recommended by more and more doctors. Originally the concept behind penile traction therapy devices was simple; it was theorized holding a bent penis straight over time would straighten it out. Much like a neck or leg brace does for a bone fracture. Simple enough right? Studies and user experiences show that it did just that. Many doctors and urologists caught on and began treating patients with Peyronie's Disease with this type of therapy as a last resort prior to a risky surgery. The good news,… Read More »

The world is a strange place. Maybe stranger than you think.
All of your life you have been told tales of monsters, vampires, werewolves, zombies, and fairies. They've been used to scare children and entertain adults. They've been the subject of novels, comic books, and innumerable TV programs.
Its all in good clean fun, isn't it?
What if there really were trolls under the South Brady Street bridge? What if ghosts do haunt Rumbarger Cemetary? What if every fairy-tale and urban legend was based in truth? What if there was a world that you didn't see? Not that you couldn't see it, but were taught not to see from the time you were a little child?
What if everything you think you know was a well crafted lie?
Welcome to the Real World. The world of Harry Dresden.
There are a lot of wizards in the world other than Harry Dresden. This is the story of just another wizard named "Lazarus" living in a small town about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, PA.
It's called DuBois, The City of the Damned.
Settled in 1812 and platted in 1872, DuBois was incorporated as a borough in 1881 and as a city in 1914. The town was founded by John Rumbarger, for whom the town was originally named. The Rumbarger Cemetery is all that survives of this original settlement. The town was later renamed for local lumber magnate John DuBois, who came from a longstanding American family of French Huguenot descent.
In 1938, his nephew, John E. DuBois, donated the family mansion and estate as a permanent home for the DuBois Campus of Penn State University. While DuBois was founded as a lumber town, the mining of bituminous coal quickly became the chief industry in DuBois. Over the years there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to combine the city with the surrounding Sandy Township. Combined, the population of DuBois and Sandy Township is approximately 18,000 souls.
18,000 ripe, juicy souls.
Evil isn't the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it's a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference."

Summary: A 38 year old British women, whilst on a silent Mindfulness Teacher Training retreat, re-experienced trauma and had a relapse of OCD symptoms
My history with meditation and contemplative practice feels quite long. All through my primary school years, I used to visit with the nuns in the local convent who taught me to meditate in stillness on the Tabernacle. In times of adversity in childhood and in adolescence, I always knew how to find this "still place": the watching place. I found it a great source of comfort, often sitting in silence in nature during troubling times. At 19, a few short months after a particularly traumatic event, I took my first retreat – two days teacher led and seven days within a retreat setting which I found quite healing. Continue reading

My daughter had an absolutely brilliant 7th birthday party. She chose a Princess and Superhero party to keep both the boys and girls happy. I could not fault anything, they arrived half an hour early to set up and were so friendly and helpful. There were non stop games for the duration of the party, which all the children loved and they helped with moments I had not expected like making sure all the children got their food. I have had so many parents tell me how amazing they thought the ladies were. Thank you for making her party absolutely perfect I really couldn't have asked for any more.;
Just want to pass on my thanks to Vicky and Chloe for the disco and games party they did on Saturday for my daughters 6th birthday party. The entertainment was great they kept the kids amused for the entire 2hr duration. Even the adults commented on how fab it was!! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using again!! Thanks again.

An unhappy customer is suing L.L. Bean over its new return policy, claiming the company broke a vow to customers.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Chicago contends customers bought items because of L.L. Bean's unlimited "satisfaction" guarantee. The lawsuit accuses L.L. Bean of breach of warranty.
The plaintiff, Victor Bondi, filed the class action lawsuit on Monday. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million in damages and an order that L.L. Bean honor the old warranty.
The Maine-based retailer announced Friday it's imposing a one-year limit for most returns, because it says too many people are abusing the system.
Company spokeswoman Carolyn Beem said the lawsuit misrepresents the return policy. She said purchases made before February 9, 2018, are not subject to the new policy as long as there's proof of purchase.

For the designers Omar Afridi and Hugo Edwards, good men's wear should be about making a man's everyday life just a little bit easier. That's the idea behind their new London-based brand, Léon Bara, which aims to offer practical clothes.
Afridi, 39, a former marketing executive, and Edwards, 30, a former men's wear buyer at The Trunk men's wear store in Marylebone, are committed to putting a pragmatic spin on contemporary tailoring at an affordable price point (pieces in the collection range from $200 to $800.) "We went from shop to shop to and, although you wouldn't think it, we realized there is so much missing between the luxury brands and the high-street ones," Edwards says. Despite no formal design education, Afridi and Edwards describe themselves as clothing aficionados who draw on their own high expectations as customers. "A lot of the ideas stemmed from utility — I would go into luxury boutiques and there would be a beautiful coat but I'd put it on and then realize the pockets were tiny or the raincoats weren't actually water-repellent," Afridi says. The result is their carefully considered label that debuted at London Fashion Week Men's last weekend, and which takes its name from a few personal friends they see as ideal customers.
Many of the garments are simple in design but clever in construction. There are heat-regulating Thermore-lined jackets with an inner strap that allows them to be worn across the body as a solution to changing temperatures. "Last year, I was in Barcelona, and the mornings were cold and the afternoons were very hot," explains Afridi. "The idea is that you can have one coat for the whole day and put it across your shoulder rather than carrying it around." Weather-resistant outerwear is cut from low-tech fabrics like Loden wool, or more modern waterproof fabrics such as Ventile, a British wartime innovation of oxidized cotton for resin-free weatherproofing. There are even removable pockets on coats to allow one to leave it at the cloakroom and still carry the essentials.
"We start with function, and then think of the look," says Edwards, who adds that he and Afridi develop fabrics with producers around Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom. One jacket features a back that can be opened courtesy of a concealed zip. The lining is made from a breathable mesh fabric that prevents overheating. Shirting is crafted from an Austrian antimicrobial fabric that prevents unsightly sweat patches.
Pragmatism may be pride of place, but some of the brand's design references are surprising. "We wanted there to be a story, and we started looking at early sci-fi," explains Edwards. "It led us to the start of the 20th century and the vision of what today would look like then. It was naïve but still looks incredibly modern." That idea comes through in industrialist shades of gray, striped shirting and an overarching mood of modernism. Although there are hints of athleticism, the pair are keen to point out that these are pieces designed to be work-appropriate. "It's quite important for us not to look like streetwear," Edwards says. "It's much more about tailoring, perhaps with an athletic edge — using nylon for example." Each garment is produced close to home at a factory in north London, about half an hour from the Léon Bara studio in central London. "It means we can just jump on the tube and see the sample," says Afridi. "The first thing we do when we get to the factory is try the clothes on — it has to feel good to wear and be something we're proud of."

We always give you an up-front and honest estimate of what the project will cost, and if we think you need anything additional, we communicate with you first before any charges are added.
We are big proponents of communication.
If you've ever had any kind of work done on your home, you want to be included in the conversation, yet a lot of the companies don't do this.

【Teaching Experience】I have taught Italian courses at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Italian Institute of Culture in Osaka.

You want to protect yourself and your family from the harmful rays of the sun — which are especially punishing at northern Nevada's higher altitudes — but with so many options, how do you choose the right sunscreen? We asked our expert to break it down.
SPF, UVA, UVB, 15, 30, 45, 70 … what do all those letters and numbers mean? With hundreds of brands of sunscreen all vying for your attention, how do you choose one that's right for you? Kate Manno, MD, FAAD, dermatologist for Renown Dermatology, Laser and Skin Care, helps shed some light on the subject.
Sunscreen: Your Burning Questions Answered
A broad spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 is recommended by dermatologists, but keep in mind that no sunscreen protects against 100 percent of UV radiation, and that re-application is necessary. "No matter the SPF, sunscreen must be applied adequately and frequently, meaning a quarter-sized amount to cover the face and neck and a full shot glass amount for the body when wearing a bathing suit," said Manno. "Reapplication should be every 80 minutes."
What SPF is Right for Me?
Why not use a high SPF, such as 70 or 100? According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, they don't offer significantly more protection than SPF 30, and mislead people into thinking they have a higher level of protection.
Here's the breakdown:
- SPF 15 blocks 93 percent of UVB rays
- SPF 30 blocks 97 percent of UVB rays
- SPF 50 blocks 98 percent of UVB rays
- SPF 100 blocks 99 percent of UVB rays
Some helpful vocabulary:
- UVA = Long wave ultraviolet light. Penetrates deep into the dermis, the skin's thickest layer, causing tissue damage that wrinkles and photo-aging, as well as contributes to developing skin cancer.
- UVB = Short wave ultraviolet light. Biggest contributor to development of skin cancer and are more prevalent during mid-day.
- SPF = Sun protection factor, calculated by comparing the amount of time needed to burn sunscreen-protected skin vs. unprotected skin. So, SPF 15 means you can stay in the sun 15 times longer than you could without protection.
Do certain populations require a higher SPF, like infants, seniors or those with previous histories of skin cancer?
Manno explains that infants, seniors and those with a history of skin cancer must take precaution against UV radiation, as their skin is vulnerable. Sunscreen should be an absolute priority prior to spending time outdoors, as well as avoiding prolonged sun exposure, wearing a hat with wide brim (recommended 4-inch brim) and UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) clothing.
For those populations, additional forms of protection should be exercised, including avoiding prolonged sun exposure and wearing a hat and protective clothing.
Due to the sensitive nature of an infant's skin, babies under 6 months should not spend any time in the direct sun. For infants and toddlers 6 months and older, whose skin is thinner than adults, sunscreens containing only zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (physical protectors) should be applied. Zinc and titanium are less likely to cause irritation because they do not penetrate the skin and instead sit on the surface and deflect UV radiation.
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are key ingredients to seek out in a sunscreen due to their strong ability to deflect UV radiation.
What to Look For in a Sunscreen:
- Broad Spectrum Protection
Offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
- SPF – Sun Protection Factor
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends always using a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. For extended stays outdoors, use SPF 30 or higher. Reapply every two hours.
- Water-resistant
An 80-minute water-resistant brand is best. Reapply after water or sweat exposure.
- Active Ingredients
Read the back label and look for ingredients that reflect or absorb rays. Zinc or titanium dioxide are "actives," always a great choice for sensitive skin.
- The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation
Three categories include:
- The daily use seal
- The active seal
- The traditional seal
