Greenpeace is campaigning for a global network of marine reserves covering 40% of the world's oceans and for a more sustainable fishing industry, both necessary steps to restoring our oceans to health. We're demanding an end to destructive and wasteful fishing practices and a 50% reduction in tuna fishing efforts. These measures are vital to return tuna stocks to a sustainable level. Governments, such as Taiwan, and all fishing companies must make their tuna fishing sustainable or risk losing this valuable species forever, thereby placing the economic prosperity and food security of the region in peril.

Town hopes for jobs tapping Calif.'s huge oil formation
Taft, Calif. — This two-stoplight town was built on petroleum, and residents here never miss a chance to pay tribute.
A 38-foot monument to wildcatters stands downtown; locals brag it's the tallest bronze sculpture west of the Mississippi. Every five years, the city throws an "Oildorado" festival. There's even a beauty pageant in which young women dubbed "the maids of petroleum" vie to be crowned queen.
It's all an homage to the bustling days when Taft boasted two giant oil fields and Standard Oil Co. of California was headquartered there. The oil giant left in 1968, jobs dried up, and today the Kern County town is saddled with high unemployment and memories of past glory days.
That could be about to change.
Residents are betting on a second boom from oil trapped miles underground in dense rock formations. It's part of what's called the Monterey Shale, where oil deposits span 1,750 square miles through Southern and Central California.
"Everyone and their dog would be working if they find that oil," said Joe Gonzalez, 53, who began toiling in the oil fields around Taft three decades ago as a roustabout. "It's a huge deal for Taft."
But a key question is: Could these modern-day wildcatters actually squeeze oil out of the rock?
Some believe technology that can reach previously inaccessible oil means it's just a matter of time; others are convinced it's an over-hyped promise.
Oil companies have begun exploring the Monterey Shale underneath towns like Taft that have survived on oil for a century.
More than 15 billion barrels of oil, or two-thirds of the continental United States' total deep-rock deposits, is estimated to be locked in the Monterey, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Extracting it could mean enormous wealth if oil prices stay around $97 a barrel and could pump billions of dollars into the local economy.
The much smaller Bakken shale formation in North Dakota has fueled a boom that has driven unemployment in the state down to 3.3 percent, the nation's lowest. Taft's unemployment rate is 13.3 percent.
But the process is slow going.
"It's not like the old days where you put a straw into the ground, you get a gusher and you dance around," said Tupper Hull, spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association, an industry lobbying group. "It's a very complicated process."
Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum and Venoco Inc. of Denver, two of the largest stakeholders in the Monterey, have already drilled exploratory wells.
Federal land leases on the shale are going for $500 per acre at auction, up from $2 to $5 per acre just a few years ago, said Gabriel Garcia of the Bureau of Land Management's Bakersfield office.
Economists say tapping the shale would be a big boost for the Central Valley, which depends heavily on agriculture and petroleum. By 2015, California could see half a million new jobs and $4.5 billion in oil-related tax revenue, according to a USC study.
"It's not the muckety-mucks, the higher-ups, who live here," said Kathy Orrin, executive director of the Taft Chamber of Commerce. "It's the people in cowboy boots and cowboy hats and Wranglers — and they can make a good living in the oil industry."
Around noon in Taft, oil workers in dusty coveralls park trucks outside the few lunch spots in town: the OT Cookhouse & Saloon, where black-and-white photos of California's first gushers line the walls; Jo's Restaurant, where diners sit below painted oil derricks and fields; and a Tex-Mex place.
Rick McCostlin, 45, thinks jobs could come back and revive Taft. Another oil boom might even attract some of the locals who fled to better-paying gigs in North Dakota's oil fields.
"We got a lot of people leaving when it gets slow," said the pony-tailed equipment operator, drinking at the OT Cookhouse's bar.
But the hush-hush world of oil is keeping mum about the Monterey.
With billions of dollars at stake, companies setting up shop are reluctant to reveal any information to competitors. Exploring new oil formations is extremely risky — drilling each exploratory well costs millions of dollars, and most never find anything.
Occidental, Venoco, Chevron and a dozen other oil companies either did not respond to or declined requests for comment.
"The best we have is rumor," said Taft Mayor Paul Linder, 55, who was born in the town. "I will tell you that rumor in this area about oil usually turns out to be the truth because it's hard to keep a secret."
Already, even rumors of that huge oil reserve are bringing new prosperity to the city of 9,400. Best Western submitted plans to build a motel. A housing development with 350 homes built by Hillside Terrace Estates is breaking ground in June. And "numerous" restaurant chains have expressed interest in the small oil town, said city manager Craig Jones.
Everyone agrees it would be a huge boon to Taft, which was once a tiny railroad stop called Moron before a 1910 gusher in nearby Maricopa flooded the area with oil wealth. The name Moron didn't carry the same meaning back in the early-1900s that it does today, and city fathers changed it to honor President William Howard Taft when rebuilding the town after a fire.
Oil companies have started hiring in advance. Denver-based Canary, which offers maintenance and equipment to drilling firms, plans to add 10 to 15 employees this year, said Chief Executive Dan Eberhart.
"If I didn't think the Monterey Shale would blow up, we wouldn't be here," he said.

Genetic copy-number variants and cancer risk
Genetics clearly plays a role in cancer development and progression, but the reason that a certain mutation leads to one cancer and not another is less clear. Furthermore, no links have been found between any cancer and a type of genetic change called "copy-number variants," or CNVs. Now, a new study published by Cell Press in The American Journal of Human Genetics on August 2 identifies CNVs associated with testicular cancer risk, but not with the risk of breast or colon cancer.
Some cancers, including breast and colon cancer, are caused by mutations that are passed from one generation to the next. However, most cancers, including testicular cancer, are sporadicthey arise without a family history of cancer. Many of these sporadic cancers result from genetic mutations in germ cellsthe cells involved in reproductioneven though neither parent has the mutation. Scientists call these "de novo" mutations.
In order to identify rare de novo mutations associated with cancer risk, Dr. Kenneth Offit and colleagues searched for CNVs, which are duplications or deletions of one or more sections of DNA, in cancer patients and their cancer-free relatives. They found a significant increase in the number of rare de novo CNVs in individuals with testicular cancer as opposed to breast or colon cancer. Although such CNVs have been associated with autism and other neurocognitive and cardiovascular disorders, they were not previously known to be associated with cancer.
The authors propose that de novo changes (as opposed to those inherited from parents) might be indicative of conditions that have traditionally resulted in reduced fertility. Although modern treatment regimens allow more than 90% of men with testicular cancer to live long and reproductive lives, the condition traditionally left affected men childless. "We speculate that the paradigm of a de novo germline disease etiology may be less applicable to late-onset cancers," says Offit, "in part explaining the lower frequency of de novo events we found in adult-onset breast and colon cancer cases." Pinpointing the specific genetic changes that lead to cancer development will improve the understanding of the origins of cancer, leading to new treatment strategies and ultimately easing the burden on those afflicted with these diseases.

Stork Announcements
I'm a stay at home Mom starting a yard sign business. My goal is to offer a yard sign that stands out because of the quality of artwork. Quite often you see poorly painted or just plain ugly yard signs.
I like vintage artwork of babies from the 50s, but I'm open to all styles of illustration and welcome your ideas and suggestions. I'm not looking for something that is cartoonish.
Young couples (25 - 35) having their family. Grandparents and friends of new parents.
The final sign should be approx. 4' wide and 6' tall so artwork must be scaled accordingly. The sign can have straight edges or can be cut out around the image area. Please keep in mind that it is a sign and will need to be held up by something at the base or by a post driven into the ground at the back.
Should depict a stork carrying a bundle in it's beak. I will need a sign for a girl and a sign for a boy, so for example maybe the bundle is pink for a girl and for the boy it is blue. Or maybe the stork's hat is pink for a girl and blue for a boy, it's up to you. It's probably better not to show the baby. I don't want to depict a specific race or color.
Final art must be vector. Please no clip art.
No limit on the number of colors used. I prefer pastels.
I'm not lock into anything and will consider any ideas that you think will work. I do want the artwork to stand out and be unique, so I will leave it to you, the experts.
If you have an idea that doesn't show a stork, please go ahead and enter.

Hot on the heels of his new hotcake-filled music video, Prince has invited fans to join him for a "Breakfast Experience" in Minneapolis' Paisley Park on Oct.19.
On Oct. 11, the artist formerly known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, released a music video for his new single "Breakfast Can Wait." In the video, his protege Danielle Curiel dresses up as the iconic star, dances and holds up pancakes for the camera.
Now, it seems the singer-songwriter wants to prolong breakfast even further with the announcement of a themed concert to be held at his house.
Doors to his "Breakfast Experience Pajama Dance Party" don't open until 2 a.m. on Saturday morning (so late Friday night) and the poster promises fans a party that will last "'til the sun comes up."
The announcement, which asks fans to come dressed in PJs but "keep it classy," is only one of the promotions the artist has done for his new single. In August, Prince teased the then-unreleased track by releasing cover art featuring David Chappelle dressed as Prince and holding up a plate of --you guessed it-- pancakes.
The star performed in Paisley Park on Oct. 5 with his 21-piece band the New Power Generation. Tickets to the "Pajama Dance Party" cost $50 per person and it remains unclear whether or not breakfast will be served.

The Air Medical Transport Conference (AMTC), sponsored by the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS), convened in Minneapolis, Minn. on October 20-22. Approximately 2,400 air medical professionals were on hand at the Minneapolis Convention Center to participate in classroom training, workshops and networking activities, while more than 150 venders from around the world displayed their wares in the exhibit hall.
Helicopter manufactures AgustaWestland, Bell, Eurocopter, MD and Sikorsky participated in the gathering, bringing examples of medevac-equipped aircraft for all to inspect.
"We're the trade show for the entire air medical community," said Dawn Mancuso, executive director of AAMS. "On a whole, we're hearing it was a very worthwhile use and investment of [the attendees' and exhibitors'] time and resources to come."
During the conference, a number of emergency air medical operations signed contracts for new equipment, while others took delivery of new purchases right on the exhibit hall floor. One such delivery was by Dallas, Texas-based Omniflight, which took delivery of a new twin-engine Eurocopter EC145 that will see service with Mayo Clinic, a non-profit medical practice dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of complex illnesses and medical conditions.
"We're extremely pleased about the outcome from this year's AMTC," Mancuso told Rotor & Wing. "Folks seemed to be pleased with the general session speakers, and they liked the size of the exhibit hall and the diversity of exhibitors."
The Association of Air Medical Services is a non-profit organization based in Alexandria, Va. Its membership consists of approximately 600 air medical transport operators worldwide.

Khowst Province, Afghanistan – On a sunny afternoon, soldiers gathered for a brief escape from their surroundings. As they crowded together, acoustic guitars rang throughout the facility. Equipped with a smile, their eyes sparkled: Music, laughter and ease were in the air.
Country music's brightest song writers left the comforts of Nashville, Tennessee, to travel around the world for this enjoyable delivery.

The second presidential debate tells us about the candidates' readings of their own campaigns. Both Romney and Obama were fighting for airtime, trying to break out of the impasse of "he-said-she-said."
Women were mentioned about 30 times in the debate because Romney knew that he had to close the gender gap. Obama joined in on the China bashing because Romney has started to gain traction with workers in Ohio with his attacks on China's trade violations.
Obama knew that he had to deflate the Libya story, so he took full responsibility for what happened in Benghazi, even though Secretary Clinton had given him an out. Obama's taking offense at Romney's charges wouldn't have gained him any Republican converts, but undecided voters are usually willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the Commander-in-Chief because nobody has access to intelligence information the way the president does. The good news for Obama is that the next debate (on foreign policy) will shield him from his weakest link, the economy.
Where Romney will continue to have the benefit of the doubt is his proposed handling of the economy. His strongest moment in the second debate was when he pulled up statistics on the number of people unemployed, on food stamps, the size of the national debt, etc. This was Republican version of Bill Clinton's "arithmetic" speech. Obama tried to characterize Romney's economic plan as a "sketchy deal." The problem is that he doesn't exactly start off with a whole lot of credibility.
Emboldened by his last debate performance, Romney might have been too enthusiastic in the second debate. At times, he may have been snarkier than he should have been. Undecided voters, who already don't like negativity, would not have liked Romney's smack-down of Obama. ("That wasn't a question; that was a statement.")
Overall, Obama did much better in this debate than in the last, but he didn't do enough to make up the ground he lost, in part because of the town hall format. A victory when a candidate is standing beside his opponent and sparring with him directly is more compelling than a (possible) victory when both are directing their comments to a small group of voters. The town hall format is just less interesting to watch, and I won't be surprised that audiences were bored and channel-surfing during the second debate.
As far as the horse race goes, Obama still has more paths to 270. Romney is looking good in Florida, but Obama leads in Virginia and Ohio. The Romney team knows that their campaign needs to put Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin in play in case they lose Ohio. Watch for a re-nationalized campaign strategy from Team Romney if they see movement in these previously leaning-Democrat states.

A weekend without electricity was already trying for millions in the sweltering, storm-swept mid-Atlantic region. But Monday morning brings another grim challenge when many embark on a difficult commute over roads with darkened stoplights and likely mass-transit delays.
To alleviate congestion around Baltimore and Washington, federal and state officials gave many workers the option of staying home Monday. Federal agencies will be open in Washington, but non-emergency employees have the option of taking leave or working from home. Maryland's governor also gave state workers wide leeway for staying out of the office.
As of Monday morning, around 2 million customers across a swath of states along the East Coast and as far west as Illinois remained without power. That left many to contend with stifling homes and spoiled food over the weekend as temperatures approached or exceeded 100 degrees, and utility officials said the power will likely be out for several more days. Since Friday, severe weather has been blamed for at least 17 deaths, most from trees falling on homes and cars.
IN PICTURES: Extreme Weather 2012
There were more than 400 signal outages in Maryland on Monday, including more than 330 in hard-hit Montgomery County outside the nation's capital, according to the State Highway Administration. There were 100 signal outages in northern Virginia late Sunday afternoon, and 65 roads were closed, although most were secondary roads.
"If you have to drive or need to drive, leave yourself a lot of extra time," Maryland State Highway Administration spokesman Charlie Gischlar said. "There's going to be delays."
All 86 Metro subway stations in the Washington area were open, but delays were possible Monday because power was being routed through the system to serve some areas where power was not being supplied by commercial utilities, spokesman Dan Stessel said. Some stations in Montgomery County were running on backup power, he said, meaning escalators may not work — bad news for commuters braving the stifling heat. Metro bus riders were expected to experience significant delays.
Drivers resorted to ingenuity to get to work. On a residential street in suburban Falls Church, Va., just outside Washington, downed trees blocked the road on either side. Enterprising neighbors used chain saws to cut a makeshift path on one side, but the other remained completely blocked by a massive oak tree.
"They kind of forgot about us out here," resident Eric Nesson said.
Still, residents took the aggravation with good humor. Posted on the oak tree was a sign saying: "Free firewood you haul." The tree lay across a smashed Ford pickup truck, with a sign reading: "For SALE. Recently lowered."
Meanwhile, Coast Guard officials say they have suspended the search for a man who disappeared early Saturday while boating during the storm off Maryland.
On Sunday night in North Carolina, a 77-year-old man was killed when strong winds collapsed a Pitt County barn where he was parking an all-terrain vehicle, authorities said. In neighboring Beaufort County, a couple was killed when a tree fell on the golf cart they were driving. Officials said trees fell onto dozens of houses, and two hangars were destroyed at an airport in Beaufort County.
The damage was mostly blamed on straight-line winds, which are strong gusts pushed ahead of fast-moving thunderstorms like a wall of wind.
Elsewhere, at least six of the dead were killed in Virginia, including a 90-year-old woman asleep in her bed when a tree slammed into her home. Two young cousins in New Jersey were killed when a tree fell on their tent while camping. Two were killed in Maryland, one in Ohio, one in Kentucky and one in Washington.
For survivors, it was a challenge to stay cool over the weekend.
From Atlanta to Baltimore, temperatures approached or exceeded triple digits. Atlanta set a record with a high of 105 degrees, while the temperature hit 99 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport just outside the nation's capital. With no air conditioning, officials urged residents to check on their elderly relatives and neighbors. It was tough to find a free pump at gas stations that did have power, and lines of cars snaked around fast-food drive-thrus.
"If we don't get power tonight, we'll have to throw everything away," Susan Fritz, a mother of three, said grimly of her refrigerator and freezer. Fritz came to a library in Bethesda, Md., so her son could do school work. She charged her phone and iPad at her local gym.
Power crews from as far away as Florida and Oklahoma were on their way to the mid-Atlantic region to help get the power back on and the air conditioners running again. Even if people have generators, the gas-run devices often don't have enough power to operate an air conditioner.
And power restoration was spotty: Several people interviewed by The Associated Press said they remained without power even though the lights were on at neighbors' homes across the street. In Maryland, Gov. O'Malley promised he would push utility companies to get electricity restored as quickly as possible.
"No one will have his boot further up Pepco's and BGE's backsides than I will," O'Malley said Sunday afternoon, referring to the two main utilities serving Maryland.
In Waldorf, Md., Charles County emergency officials handed out free 40-pound bags of ice to anyone who needed them. Among the takers was Ann Brown, 47, of Accokeek, Md., who had stayed in a hotel Saturday night because her house was without power.
She went to a cookout in Upper Marlboro, Md., on Saturday after family members decided to cook all the food in the freezer rather than let it go bad.
"Whatever they had, that's what we ate, and it was great," Brown said.
Whether she makes the commute to work Monday will depend entirely on how comfortable the office is.
"If they don't have power, I'm not going. But if they have power, yeah, I'm going in, to be in the air conditioning all day," she said.

In Ohio, more than 420,000 customers remained without power early Monday after a second burst of thunderstorms knocked out electricity for thousands, including customers who were left in the dark early in the weekend and had just had their power restored.
American Electric Power said storms on Sunday night left 20,000 customers without electricity while crews worked to fix earlier outages. In all, about 423,000 AEP and Duke Energy customers remained without power early Monday, mostly in the southern two-thirds of the state, as temperatures were expected to climb into the 90s.
AEP said more than half of its customers in each of 19 counties, largely in southeast and central Ohio, had no power. Word that restoration work could take five days or more left residents lining up for ice at stores and scrambling to find ways to stay cool.
Gov. John Kasich declared a state emergency over the weekend, called out the National Guard and sought help from President Barack Obama, who declared a federal emergency in Ohio. National Guard troops on Sunday went door-to-door to check on people in the Columbus and Dayton areas, and federal aid trucks carried water to six distribution points in southern and eastern Ohio.
Federal Emergency Management Agency officials are working with state officials and relief workers to determine the biggest and most urgent needs.
AEP said Friday's storm was Ohio's worst since the state was battered in 2008 by remnants of Hurricane Ike. Out-of-state reinforcements have been limited by big needs in Washington D.C. and neighboring states that were also hit by storms.
Ohio officials have confirmed one storm death. A 70-year-old woman died Friday evening in Muskingum County when a barn collapsed after she had gone to check on animals during the storm.
Associated Press writers Matthew Barakat in Falls Church, Va.; Jessica Gresko in Waldorf, Md.; Stacy A. Anderson in Bethesda, Md.; Steve Szkotak in Lakeside, Va.; Jonathan Drew in Atlanta; and Dan Sewell in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

Thinking Fans' summer thoughts on Destiny et al.: JTG says Shenell Edmonds' Destiny is no stereotype. "It's obvious OLTL's writers are positioning Destiny as Matthew's first girlfriend. Most of the time, the stereotypical 'mammy' character is either sexless or oversexed. That is not the case with Destiny" … while Mike Goldberg confides Destiny has made him a believer again. "I haven't been interested in teen romance in years" … and more, on many topics. See Comments below.

Bonjour everyone! I've been taking it easy this summer, staying cool in the pool with my new pooch (see above). Yet I'm still watching soaps and have a bunch of questions I'd like to ask. As always, I welcome your comments!
1. Why hasn't anyone in the soap press asked major actor John Rubinstein — a Best Actor Tony winner for Children of a Lesser God in 1980 and a million other TV roles, plus being the son of the late piano genius Artur Rubinstein — why he's playing a minor little part on The Young and the Restless? His Dr. Taylor is the crooked [Read more…]

TNA X-Division champ THE AMAZING RED (with Don West) vs. HOMICIDE

Red kicked Homicide through the ropes. Back in the ring, Red nailed a high cross bodyblock for a two count. He went for a monkey flip, but Homicide landed on his feet. Red nailed a head scissors but was nailed with a lariat.
Homicide bit Red on the ear and went for a belly to back suplex. Red landed on his feet and nailed a series of strikes and a clothesline to the legs for a two count. Red went to the the top and went for a senton splash, but Homicide moved. Red averted his dive and rolled through, but Homicide caught him with a backbreaker. Homicide began ripping at Red's face in the ropes.
Homicide beat on Red as Don West began rallying the champ. Homicide nailed a hangman's neckbreaker for a two count. The crowd began chanting for Red. Red began mounting a comeback with a series of rights, but Homicide caught him with a thrust to the throat. He tied Red up on the mat with a submission but Red refused to tap out. Homicide thought Red tapped out and argued with the referee. Red made his way to his feet in the corner but Homicide bit him on the face.
Homicide continued beating Red in the corner. Red went to the top rope, but Homicide choked him and slapped him. Homicide was shoved off the ropes. Red came off with a Lucha style armdrag, dropkicked him in the corner, then flipped around into a DDT for a two count.

Taz and Mike Tenay discussed some of the other matches for tonight's card, including Desmond Wolfe vs. Kurt Angle. Taz put over Wolfe for being able to play mind games with Kurt Angle. They discussed the TNA title match and discussed how Samoa Joe has been manipulating his opponents of late.
TNA Knockouts champ ODB & TNA Knockouts Tag Team champions SARITA & TAYLOR WILDE vs. THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE - Both titles on the line
The titles will only change hand if a champion is pinned and if so, only that title, so ODB can't lose her title if Sarita is pinned, etc.
Velvet Sky and ODB opened the match. ODB caught her with a headbutt low early but Sky moved her into the BP's corner. Madison worked over ODB but lost the momentum. Sarita tagged in and schoolgirled her, then attempted a bridge for a near fall. Sarita worked her over with some technical wrestling, then hit a dropkick. She tagged in Wilde. Lacey tagged in and clotheslined her. Rayne caught Wilde with a front facelock, then a neckbreaker.
The BP double-teamed Wilde. Sky began peppering her with right hands. She snapmared Wilde over then kicked her in the back. Sky followed up with a dropkick to the face. The BP choked Wilde in their corner. Von Erich tagged in and choked Sky with her boot. The crowd chanted, "You can't wrestle." Sky locked on an Octopus on Wilde. They actually pulled out an Antonio Inoki reference during that move.
Wilde finally made the hot tag to ODB. ODB clotheslined everyone and their mother. ODB caught Sky's attempted bodypress and nailed a Fall Away Slam for a two count. Von Erich broke up the pin. Pandemonium broke out. Lacey tossed Sarita out of the ring. Wilde was tossed as well, leaving ODB in a three on one situation. ODB kicked Von Erich and laid out Rayne and Sky. ODB scored the pin on Rayne with the TKO.
Your winners and still Knockouts champions, ODB, Taylor Wilde & Sarita!
OK match. This probably the best Velvet Sky has looked as she worked the lion's share of the bout. They laid this out to the best they of their ability. The crowd was merciless on Von Erich, and they wisely kept her out of the ring except for specific spots. It was obvious watching this that Sarita was far and away the best out of the six.
Jeremy Borash interviewed Desmond Wolfe. Borash said Wolfe's impact has been great. Wolfe said it started with a simple handshake and ended it with a closed fist. He promised that Kurt Angle will never forget his name again. He said that he would devour whatever was left of Kurt Angle after the last four weeks. He said he was a gracious and accommodating fellow. He said he's been studying Angle since day one and he knows Angle better than he knows himself. Angle, however, knows nothing about Wolfe. He said tonight Wolfe 101 was in session and he would end Angle's career. Real good serious promo. One thing that sets Wolfe apart is that he's convincing as a heel in that you can buy he's a jerk as opposed to playing a role.
TNA Tag Team champions THE BRITISH INVASION vs. BEER MONEY, INC. vs. THE MOTOR CITY MACHINEGUNS
Lots of back and forth wrestling early involving all three teams. Alex Shelley caught Roode with a series of deep armdrags. The story early was the Invasion were letting the other two teams beat each other down but at the same time, wanted to make sure they didn't lose the belts. The Guns worked over Roode with a number of tag moves. Sabin used several strikes but Roode came back with a running forearm.
Williams blind tagged in but was rolled up by Sabin for a two count. Williams and Sabin had a beautiful series of counters, ending with Sabin drilling Williams with a kick to the face. The Guns doubled on Williams with stereo kicks. Shelley used his knee as the base for a surfboard style submission. He legdropped Williams for a two count. Sabin tagged in and leapfrogged over Shelley, coming down on Williams' arm.
Magnus was able to tag in and used several right hands on Sabin in the corner. The Invasion used a wrap around necktie for a two count. The crowd began chanting USA to rally Sabin. Storm blind tagged himself in and scored a uranage into a backbreaker over the knee on Magnus. Beer Money nailed Williams with a suplex. They hang Williams in the corner and whip Magnus into him. The Guns then pull Magnus' legs, crotching him into Williams' face.
The Guns and Money worked over The Invasion in the corner with a series of hard hitting moves. Sabin came off the top with a splash as Shelley nailed a neckbreaker. Sabin went for a slingshot off the ropes but was shoved to the floor. The Invasion took out Shelley as well. Beer Money jumped right in and nailed a catapult DDT on Williams, then the DWI. Magnus broke up the pin at two.
Outside, TNA Global champ Eric Young pulled Storm off the apron. The Invasion rolled up Roode and hooked the tights for a two count. Earl Hebner threw Young out of ringside. Young refused to leave, so Kevin Nash came out and snatched the former TNA Legends title belt from him. James Storm went to grab Young but Nash drilled Storm with the title belt. Young seemed as shocked as anyone.
Roode went for a tag but Storm was out on the floor. He was caught with a double team clothesline by the Invasion and pinned.
Your winners and still TNA Tag Team champions The British Invasion!
There was a lot going on here, but at times, the action was real good. There was probably no real reason for The Guns to be in here, given that the match was a backdrop for the Eric Young and Kevin Nash interference to lead to the finish but everything they did looked great. British Invasion have to be the most underrated team in the business right now. The Nash-Young mystery begins. They really need a hell of an explanation to that one given the fact that Young just beat him for the title.

James D. Smith '86
IP leader to patent judge
"I really can't imagine having scoped out a better 25-year course of study for this job than the one I happened into."
— James Smith '86
It's probably an understatement to say that James Smith has a full schedule.
Consider the docket he oversees as chief administrative patent judge at the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO): almost 25,500 ex parte appeals from patent examiners' decisions; expanded jurisdiction under the America Invents Act to hear certain contested proceedings; and oversight of other matters delegated to him by the USPTO director. Aiming to cut the processing time of patent appeals by two-thirds, Smith, who assumed his post in May 2011 by appointment of then-Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, also has a congressional mandate to hire 100 new BPAI judges by January 2013; by mid-February, he had presided over more than 80 candidate interviews and several dozen hires.
Yet Smith, who is in his fifth year as a member of the Law School's Board of Visitors, sounds content as he describes his busy schedule, as well as the entire course of his career since his Duke Law graduation.
"I really can't imagine having scoped out a better 25-year course of study for this job than the one I happened into," he says of a career in intellectual property law that has included a clerkship at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, private practice focused on patent litigation and licensing, oversight of global licensing for Nokia, and service as chief intellectual property counsel for Baxter International.
Having arrived at Duke Law with a degree in electrical engineering in hand and a summer at the USPTO behind him, Smith acknowledges that the "gravitational pull" of intellectual property law was strong from the start. Even as he aimed to keep his options open, he made sure to take every class taught by Professor David Lange, then a virtual one-man IP department, and clerked both summers with Washington firms that specialized in the practice. He practiced patent law with Finnigan Henderson for two years before being recommended by a Duke Law classmate for a clerkship with now Chief Judge Paul R. Michel, who then was the newest judge on the Federal Circuit.
"Those years of practice and learning about litigation, patent law, and patent litigation were a very necessary education before the clerkship," says Smith, calling his friend's good word and the clerkship itself life changing events. "The experience that I gained on the court helped frame the years of my career that followed and certainly made me much more comfortable doing this job than I would have felt otherwise." He still turns to Michel's guidance with regularity, he adds.
Smith returned to private practice following his clerkship. He was focusing on patent litigation at the district court level and serving as managing partner for a Dewey Ballentine office in Texas when he was asked to consider becoming global director of intellectual property licensing at Nokia in 2004. The mobile device manufacturer's technology and attendant legal issues aligned well with his longtime practice, he says.
"It was just a fabulous job," he says of his three-and-a-half years at Nokia. "I traveled constantly, participating in licensing and cross-licensing of technology for mobile devices, cell phones, computers — Nokia's entire product set. And I got to conduct negotiations in countries all over the world, and to visit and participate in companion litigation. The entire time was a highlight reel."
Smith calls his position as chief intellectual property counsel at Baxter International "equally fabulous." Significantly, it gave him exposure to biotechnology patent and licensing matters, which has proven useful in his current position, he says.
Smith credits his career satisfaction with motivating his longtime volunteer service on the Duke Law Alumni Association and now on the Board of Visitors.
"Being granted admission to Duke Law was one of the best things that ever happened to me," he says, noting that such professors as Lange, Jerome Culp, Robert Mosteller, John Weistart, and Sara Sun Beale left a lasting impression.
"It was a fabulous place to go to school — the atmosphere of learning, the simultaneously collaborative and competitive ethos of the school were remarkable. The fabulous opportunities for learning and the caring instruction I received made me feel permanently indebted to the school."
Smith also praises the efforts of Dean David F. Levi and his predecessors to encourage alumni engagement with Duke Law.
"Just the thrill of being invited back to participate in the Law Alumni Association motivated further interest to get involved."

text: One of the most common questions when asked about general auto repair and maintenance is, "How often should I change my oil?" Changing your oil is very important to your vehicles general maintenance and you should do it regularly.  Your car is a big purchase. Behind your house, it is your next biggest investment so it's vital you take good care of it and keep it well maintained. A well-maintained car can end up saving you thousands of dollars in the long run. Keep it running long after your final payment and you will save a LOT of money.  You may have heard different time frames for when you need to change your oil. The most common one used to be every 3,000 miles or every 3 months (whichever was first). Nowadays, vehicles technology is far advanced and general oil quality is much better than it used to be meaning your average oil change will last longer.  So, the real answer is that there is no real set standard. However, we can tell you some things that have an effect on your oil change time frame. It is also worth noting that every  manufacturer has different recommended intervals that vary due to oil capacity,  viscosity and oil type (i.e. synthetic) Here is a list: In Arizona, we deal with EXTREME heat. This can affect the oil and will cause us to change our oil more than in states where they deal with less extreme weather conditions. This is also true for states who deal with extreme cold (something we do not have to worry about here in the desert) Heavy loads can also cause issues. If you regularly use your truck to tow heavy loads, then again, you may need more frequent oil changes. If you take a lot of small trips (below 10 miles) then this can also have a negative effect on your engine oil and will cause you to need an oil change more frequently. Road conditions also play a factor. If you drive mostly flat roads, then you are good. If you are constantly driving up steep hills then this can also cause problems. Dry and dusty conditions also have an affect on your vehicle and its oil. The dust and dirt mixed with your oil can cause engine problems. With the improvements in engine oil and vehicle technology, all of your oil change intervals can be extended, but it is very important to read the fine print in manufacturers guidelines. To maintain your vehicle takes a lot of care and attention. Changing your oil can be a fairly routine procedure if you have a solid background in auto repair but if you need help, call us and book in at an of the 9 Wilhelm locations Valley wide. If you have any other maintenance issues that you would like to be covered in our blogs, just ask. We are happy to answer any questions and pass on our knowledge and expertise to our customers.

New York, January 29, 2013--The conviction today of a former high-ranking Ukrainian police official in the murder of journalist Georgy Gongadze is a long-overdue step, but justice will not be fully served until all of the perpetrators are held responsible, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Gongadze, founder and editor of the critical news website Ukrainska Pravda, was the first online journalist worldwide to be murdered for his work, according to CPJ research.
The Pechersky District Court in Kiev, the capital, convicted former police Gen. Aleksei Pukach of strangling and beheading Gongadze in September 2000, and sentenced him to life in prison, local and international press reported. In March 2008, authorities convicted and sentenced to prison Pukach's accomplices, three former police officers who had acted on his orders. No masterminds have been brought to justice.
In previous statements, Pukach implicated several other high-ranking government officials, including former president Leonid Kuchma, in orchestrating the killing, according to news agency Interfax-Ukraina and news reports. Kuchma was indicted in March 2011, but Ukraine's Constitutional Court tossed out a key audiotape said to implicate the ex-president and then a trial court dismissed the charges later that year.
Valentina Telychenko, lawyer for Gongadze's widow, Myroslava Gongadze, told journalists her client would appeal the ruling, in hopes that other conspirators would be identified and prosecuted.
"We welcome this conviction as a milestone on the road that will lead to the masterminds of Georgy Gongadze's grisly murder," said CPJ Deputy Director Robert Mahoney. "The Ukrainian authorities have been dragging their feet for 13 years. It's time they delivered justice."

An earthquake hit a mountainous area of southwestern China on Saturday, killing at least five people, destroying hundreds of residences and forcing thousands of people to relocate, the government and state media said.
The quake, which also injured 21 people, shook a wide area, including scenic Shangri-La and Deqen counties in Yunnan province, and Derong county in Sichuan province, just to the north.
The China Earthquake Administration said the morning quake had a magnitude of 5.9, with the U.S. Geological Survey saying it was 5.8.
The China Earthquake Information Center, citing Yunnan's provincial civil affairs department, said five people died and 17 were injured in Shangri-La and Deqen counties. Six of the injured were in serious condition.
Sichuan's government said four people were injured in Derong county.
The official Xinhua News Agency, also citing Yunnan's civil affairs department, said the quake destroyed 600 residential units and damaged 55,500 others. More than 9,000 residents were forced to relocate.
Xinhua said telecommunications and electricity supplies were affected in Deqen and Derong, hindering rescue efforts.
China's mountainous areas in its southwest are prone to earthquakes. In May 2008, a powerful quake in Sichuan left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing. In April this year, another quake in Sichuan killed 193 people.
