TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey is the first state in the nation to take statewide action to address the growing issue of high school steroid use. In late December, New Jersey's Acting Governor Richard J. Codey (photo at left) signed an executive order that would put into place a program that will randomly test high school teams and individuals qualifying for championship games for steroids beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. The order also calls for the Department of Health and Senior Services to develop and implement a program to randomly test dietary supplement products for sale in New Jersey to detect steroid contamination, and various other orders directing the Department of Education to work with the Department of Health and Senior Services and other agencies to implement a broad-range of educational components from the fifth grade level on up through high school.
"We've all seen the statistics and read the articles about the impact that steroids are having on kids. This is a growing public health threat, one we can't leave up to individual parents, coaches or schools to handle," said Codey. "This report puts us at the forefront in dealing with the problem of steroids. Today, we are putting this plan into action and becoming the first state in the nation to address this problem on a statewide level."

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that the Arthritis Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted against approval of ARCALYST® (rilonacept) Injection for Subcutaneous Use for the proposed indication for the prevention of gout flares in patients initiating uric acid-lowering therapy. The Committee's recommendation will be considered by the FDA in its review of the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for ARCALYST, but the Committee's recommendation is not binding on the FDA. Regeneron submitted an sBLA for marketing approval of ARCALYST in the United States and has been granted a target date for an FDA decision of July 30, 2012.
Important information about ARCALYST® (rilonacept) Injection
ARCALYST is currently indicated in the U.S. for the treatment of Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS), including Familial Cold Auto-inflammatory Syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) in adults and children 12 and older. Rilonacept is also approved, but not marketed, in the E.U. for the same patient population. ARCALYST is not approved, but is currently under review by the U.S. FDA, for the prevention of gout flares in patients initiating uric acid-lowering therapy.
IL-1 blockade may interfere with immune response to infections. Serious, life-threatening infections have been reported in patients taking rilonacept. Rilonacept should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection. Taking rilonacept with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors is not recommended because this may increase the risk of serious infections. Treatment with rilonacept should not be initiated in patients with active or chronic infections. Patients should not receive a live vaccine while taking rilonacept. It is recommended that patients receive all recommended vaccinations prior to initiation of treatment with rilonacept. Patients should be monitored for changes in their lipid profiles and provided with medical treatment if warranted. Hypersensitivity reactions associated with rilonacept administration have been rare. Please see the full Prescribing Information for ARCALYST® (rilonacept), available online at www.regeneron.com/ARCALYST-fpi.pdf.
About Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Regeneron is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that discovers, invents, develops, manufactures, and commercializes medicines for the treatment of serious medical conditions. Regeneron markets two products in the United States, ARCALYST® (rilonacept) Injection for Subcutaneous Use and EYLEA® (aflibercept) Injection, and has filed regulatory applications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for second indications for each of these products. A regulatory application has also been submitted to the FDA for the product candidate ZALTRAP® (aflibercept) Concentrate for Intravenous Infusion. Phase 3 studies are in progress with EYLEA® in a third indication, and with product candidate sarilumab. Earlier-stage clinical programs are underway with nine additional monoclonal antibodies. Regeneron has active research and development programs in many disease areas, including ophthalmology, inflammation, cancer, and hypercholesterolemia. Additional information and recent news releases are available on the Regeneron web site at www.regeneron.com.
Regeneron Forward-Looking Statements
This news release includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties relating to future events and the future performance of Regeneron, and actual events or results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements. These statements concern, and these risks and uncertainties include, among others, the nature, timing, and possible success and therapeutic applications of Regeneron's product candidates and research and clinical programs now underway or planned, unforeseen safety issues resulting from the administration of products and product candidates in patients, the likelihood and timing of possible regulatory approval and commercial launch of Regeneron's late-stage product candidates and new indications for marketed products including ARCALYST®, determinations by regulatory and administrative governmental authorities which may delay or restrict Regeneron's ability to continue to develop or commercialize Regeneron's products and drug candidates, competing drugs that may be superior to Regeneron's products and drug candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of Regeneron's product and drug candidates, unanticipated expenses, the costs of developing, producing, and selling products, the potential for any license or collaboration agreement, including Regeneron's agreements with the Sanofi Group and Bayer HealthCare, to be canceled or terminated without any product success, and risks associated with third party intellectual property and pending or future litigation relating thereto.

As for me, I practice in Greenville, South Carolina, in the areas of civil and criminal appeals, health care, and professional negligence. A commitment to pro bono legal services is an important part of my practice. I serve as a pro bono special prosecutor for the state Attorney General in criminal domestic violence cases and also usually have at least one or two pro bono criminal appeals going at the same time. But for those darn Rules of Professional Conduct, I could convict a wife-beater and then represent him on appeal!
For those of you who don't know, Blawg Review is a collection of the best legal posts from around the blogosphere. I thank the editors for giving me this opportunity to host. I have divided the posts into broad categories reflecting the interests on the law blogging community during the past week. Each category will be dedicated to a different President in honor of the holiday. Without further delay, let's rock and roll with Blawg Review # 96.
This category is dedicated to William Howard Taft for his services as POTUS and on SCOTUS!
Let's start with the big boys and girls in the black robes. They have been quiet lately, but we can soon expect things to heat up.
Orin Kerr at the Volokh Conspiracy questions whether Congress can force the Supremes to televise oral argument and other proceedings. Ilya Somin concurs with Kerr that Congress does have the power if it is so inclined. Hmmmm... I wonder if Justice Thomas would ask more questions if he was on camera?
Lyle Denniston of SCOTUS Blog reported on a new Guantanamo detainee case coming before the Supreme Court, this time involving a Chinese citizen from a persecuted ethnic minority group there.
IP Law
This section is dedicated to George Washington, who signed the First United States Patent Grant on July 31, 1790.
Trademark law rears its ugly head in the world of rock! Michael Atkins reported a case of a "band on the run" after discovering that their name was taken already by another band.
William Patry discussed an important case which considered when a copyright renewal term commences.
Congress has approved the creation of patent-specific judicial training but Tim Lee and others were not convinced that expertise is always a good thing.
Marty Schwimmer noted a copyright infringement dust-up between comedians Joe Rogan and Carlos Mencia. The Techdirt post has more details, including Mencia's DMCA takedown of Rogan's YouTube video documenting his claims.
At the Fraser Gallery, Doug Sanford is exhibiting photographs of his exgirlfriend's emails to him. She wrote them after she learned of his infidelities and ended her relationship with him. Transcending Gender reported that the exgirlfriend threatened legal action against Sanford and the gallery for copyright infringement; she claimed the words of the email were her property.
The fight over Pooh Bear heats up. The Likelihood of Confusion tried to make this legal fight a little less confusing. But since I am not an IP lawyer, I remain confused.....
GI protection and how it can be accomplished is discussed at IP Notions.
The Net
Depending on how you handle hanging chads, Al Gore could have been president of the US. Because of his contribution in inventing the Internet, this section is dedicated to Albert.
Over at Concurring Opinions, you'll find a nice list of the best and worst of Internet laws.
Eric Turkewitz reported that the FDA is becoming concerned about drugs many Americans are buying over the internet. Many folks, it seems, are getting sick.
Law Firm Life
This category is dedicated to "His Rotundity" John Adams--the first lawyer to serve as POTUS.
Anonymous Lawyer knows the deal on life at a big law firm. I tell all students who ask me about law school to read his book and his blog. This week it appears AL was stabbed by an aggrieved associate . . . again. It seems AL ruined the man's life or something. A partner ruining an associate's life?? Come on--get real.
Speaking of being an arse, lawyers can behave like kids in a deposition, and Stephen Bainbridge discussed the latest case of misbehavior.
The formerly anonymous (and still great) Enrico Schafer mused that lawyers can be the most unreasonable people on Earth and that this profession can cost you a lot, including your personality.
Money Money Money. Associate salaries are in the news. David Lat at Abovethelaw noted that some have finally put the associate salary rise in proper perspective by divvying up the increase on a per-partner basis and calculating the number of bespoke suits each partner will have to forgo to pay for their greedy associates.
If you want to avoid big firms issues, should you consider hanging out a shingle right out of school? Susan Liebel discusses the risks and rewards.
Are there more jerks in law than in other occupations? Chuck Newton considers the issues.
Is it enough to be a "good lawyer" if you want to have those great cases?? Legal Marketing Blog discusses how to get work through the doors.
Many female lawyers are opting out of big firm life. I always knew women were smarter than men. Legal Profession Blog has the scoop.
Charles Green answers the old client question "why should we choose you?"
Honest Abe wanted to discourage litigation? So reported this post at Overlawyered.
Want to use a nickname or moniker in advertising in NY? Well, you better read this post from Sui Generis before you begin.
Ever wondered how a law firm should be designed to properly impress the clients? Starslate gives us the details with this post.
This post from veryLegal is worth a block quote. Preach it!
Now we will take a closer look and find out what lawyers say about their jobs. Lawyers complain of a lack of control, being sandwiched between judges and clients. They complain about the increasing hostility between fellow lawyers, a lack of loyalty between partners, and a diminishing public image(all those lawyer jokes don't help). But paramount to all these, they complain about the torturous hours.
Lets get straight to the crux then, the hours. Lawyers nowadays just do not have enough time for their families and themselves at all. They complain of being sacrificed to the company instead of dedicating themselves to it. Whats the normal working hours like for a big firm associate? Think at least 12 hours, six days a week. Now we are beginning to understand a little of the problem.
International Issues
This category is dedicated to Woodrow Wilson and his legacy of international intervention.
Roger Alford tells us about a habeas case which prevented the transfer of an American citizen to the jurisdiction of the Iraqi courts.
Peter Spiro over at Opinio Juris attempted to determine, despite a thin Senatorial record, where President Obama might stand on international law; his hiring choices thus far and his stance on the Darfur genocide might offer some insights.
Torture ought not even be debated, but in Dubya's war on terror it unfortunately is. Peggy McGuinness discussed how the "ticking time bomb" myth shapes our perceptions about the acceptability and utility of torture.
Geeklawyer, the IP Barrister, is putting together a conference for Brit bloggers in May--he's been working really hard on it. I wouldn't mind having a pint or two and discussing blogging with that distinguished line up.
So you want to break into international law or China law? China Law Blog has some tips.
I dedicate this section to Mr. Jefferson--my favorite president in US History.
Eric Muller posted a "cool" letter he found relating to the Gibbons v. Ogden decision and noted the over-the-top oration employed during the hearing. Ann Althouse found that those involved didn't shy away from the double entendres she's noted in teaching the decision.
Should the Framers have ditched the Vice Presidency? Sandy Levinson, in considering a hypothetical redesign of the Constitution, wondered what value (if any) the vice-presidency has.
Mary Dudziak at Legal History Blog discussed the recently-discovered unsuccessful efforts of Otto Frank to gain entry into the US for Anne and the rest of the Frank family. Eric Muller of Is that legal? related his ancestor's similar story during the Holocaust and lamented "the sadness of failed rescue."
Legal Writing
This section is dedicated to Andrew Johnson, who taught himself to read and never spent one day in formal education.
For an interesting take on how court rules hamper the efforts of strong legal writers, see Attorney Mark Herrmann's recent blog post. Herrmann refers specifically to the work of two talented writers on the Seventh Circuit's bench, writers who know when to break the rules.
Lawrence Solum blogged the "Writing About the Law" conference at New York Law School, a conference attended by fellow bloggers Randy Barnett (of Volokh Conspiracy) and Ann Althouse.
This section is dedicated to FDR who was very successful at keeping himself employed.
Michael Fitzgibbon highlighted several key elements regarding the tort of negligent hiring. This tort is based upon the theory that an employer has a duty to protect its employees and customers from other employees that the employer has reason to believe, or should have reason to believe, pose a threat to others.
Overlawyered reported that things don't work out to well when government prohibits employers from checking into an applicants background.
Ted Frank informed us that a case involving death of a policeman sickened after working "fourteen hour days in the smoldering pit" at the World Trade Center site took a strange turn as it was revealed that the man only worked a few shifts for overtime pay and only months after 9/11 when the "smoldering pit" was no longer smoldering.
We are wrapping up fast here and that's a good feeling. So let's dedicate this final section to the Era of Good Feeling and James Monroe.
Unintended consequences of Sarbanes-Oxley--The law designed to increase transparency has resulted in companies keeping secrets from investors by selling bonds, or debt securities, that aren't registered with the Securities and Exchange. Leon Gettler tells us all about it.
Hanno Kaiser at the Antitrust Review criticizes Louis Kaplow and Carl Shapiro's paper "Antitrust" for failing to pay attention to "the ideological underpinnings of antitrust and the normative distributive commitments that are part and parcel of economic theory. "
MLB and the beer advertisements: They say their players should not sell suds, but Bud Selig has no issues with Miller Lite advertising during baseball games. Sports Law Blog has a good post on this and related issues.
Congress considers permitting federal reimbursement for midwife services. The Mommy Blog tells us about the proposed legislation here.
Blawg Review has information about next week's host, and instructions how to get your blawg posts reviewed in upcoming issues.

Canaries in the Kitchen: Few birds are saved
Very few birds survive once observable symptoms of Teflon toxicosis set in. According to Dr. Ken Welle, assistant professor of avian and exotic medicine at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, "We have saved birds by administering immediate application of steroids, but most never make it as far as our office" [1].

Kim Kardashian Divorce Turns Ugly -- Reality TV On Trial
Kim Kardashian Divorce Turns Ugly Reality TV On Trial
The Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries divorce has become a bitter fight, and we've learned Kris' lawyer intends to put reality TV on trial ... but that could blow up in his face.
Sources tell us ... Kris and his lawyer, Lee Hutton, want to "expose the M.O. of reality TV" by proving Kim had no intention of staying married to him, but just wanted big ratings for her reality show.
Now here's the irony. The duo wants to prove their point by asking the judge to allow TMZ and TV stations to broadcast the trial -- something that the judge might find a tad hypocritical ... not that we're complaining.
TMZ broke the story ... Kim filed for divorce on grounds of "irreconcilable differences." Kris has countered that he wants the marriage annulled based on fraud.
Kris has a couple of problems with the fraud claim. First of all, he's the one who proposed. Second, the publicity has made him famous and marketable and he'll make millions more than he would have otherwise.
And another big point in Kim's favor ... We've learned the prenup is extremely long and complicated ... accounting for what would happen years into the future. Why would she go through the time and trouble of having a long prenup if she planned on pulling the plug on the marriage within a few months?
Little Ricky on "I Love Lucy"
Keith Thibodeaux became famous for playing Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's son, Little Ricky, on the classic '50s TV series "I Love Lucy." Guess what he looks like now!
Flaunts New Mom Curves
In First Appearance Since Baby!
Baby Blue Ivy's mom, Beyonce Knowles, has finally made her post-pregnancy debut!
The 30-year-old singer stepped out last night for the first time since giving birth in to her little girl with Jay-Z last month.
Beyonce put her new curves on display in a tight red-orange Alice Temperly dress, which she paired with some bedazzled Christian Louboutin heels -- proving she's still as stylish as ever since having a baby.
Bey, Jay-Z and her mom Tina were at Carnegie Hall, where the rapper had his first of two benefit concerts for the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.
'Bayou Billionaires'
Humping in Dubai
Here's a photo of the super-rich couple from CMT's "Bayou Billionaires" doing what most oil moguls do best ... spoiling themselves!!!
Gerald and Kitten Dowden -- who became a real life "Beverly Hillbillies" family when they found oil on their property in Louisiana last year -- recently booked a trip to Dubai ... and TMZ has the pics.
Ever since the family struck it rich, they've been treating themselves to the finer things in life ... and when we asked why they decided to travel to the Middle East, Kitty told us ... "because we CAN!"
Mama Dowden says the couple rode dune buggies, participated in an authentic Bedouin dinner ... and of course, treated themselves to a camel ride.
Kitty adds, "We would definitely go back again, it was a great experience!"
Better hope that well doesn't dry up ...
Crossover Acts
Reality Stars Turned Actors!
Former "American Idol" runner-up Katharine McPhee is back on TV this week with "Smash" -- but this time, she's venturing into scripted territory.

US Events: St. Louis and Philadelphia
Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 12:30PM
Two noteworthy U.S. events recently finished, the St. Louis Invitational and the Philadelphia Open. The former ended in a three-way tie for first with GM Elshan Moradiabadi and IMs Marc Arnold and Darwin Yang tying for first with 6-3 scores. That was a round robin; the Philadelphia Open was an Open Swiss won by Magesh Panchanathan with a 7-2 score, half a point better than Varuzhan Akobian, Sergey Erenburg, Jon Ludvig Hammer, Sam Shankland, Alexander Stripunsky, Axel Bachmann and Mikheil Kekelidze.
A miniature from the latter event can be replayed here.

Hey all, I'm new to WPFs and I need to learn it. I can do VB.net and C# rather well, so I only need to know a few things.
How to do you use controls and their properties? I have a text box, and i need to know how (and where) to reference its contents. I tried to reference it in a button_click event but it didn't like that at all.
How do you manage multiple forms (...or whatever they're called)?

If you're a dork (and if you're reading this you probably are), you know March 14 was Pi Day. What you probably didn't know -- I didn't until yesterday -- is that it was also National Save a Spider Day! Credit goes to my aunt, Heather, for passing on this reminder from Heloise. I guess it's only fitting, now that I've got spider pictures coming at me from across the country and even world, that I get my family and friends in on it too. You guys "celebrate" spider day weekly and sometimes daily on my Facebook wall on and in my inbox. You're all weird and wonderful. I shall become the spider queen and you will all be my spider-rescuing, spider-info-hoarding minions. Mwahaha!
I can't believe I didn't share this earlier
I'm not too big into Tumblr, but you all must follow this site, FACT: Spiders are Adorable, as long as they're posting content. Spider humor, spider fact tidbits, spider photos, spider macros (of both the close-up photography and humorous-text-having varieties), and all forms of spider love. Go see it.
Brown(ie) points: Brown recluse in the news
The brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, has been featured quite a bit in the news lately -- from the apparent spread of their territory and research to better define our understanding of their range, to recent cases like college student Nikki Perez, who was almost blinded due to a brown recluse bite. It's a medically significant spider, with unique and potentially quite harmful venom, and climate change could be affecting its range, so this is important stuff. Of course, there's quite a bit of difference between the predicted "possible migration of the spider by 2020" to new areas, and the melodramatic headlines ("America in Danger!") that I began seeing this week. This is what a brown recluse looks like, with a coin for scale. Its range is the Southeast to the Midwest. And if you have a giant brown spider on your wall, it's still probably not a brown recluse. Just, you know, be smart. Most people are never bitten by any spider, so don't start worrying about inevitable blindness/ear rotting/body-part-loss/general doom just yet.
Spider sensitivity training
I love this! The American Museum of Natural History is preparing to open an interactive exhibit, "Spiders Alive!" starting in July. Sensitive to the needs of the spiders, reaching out to the humans ... everyone wins. And we get to learn more about these amazing arthropods. I'm quite fond of Norman I. Platnick, the museum's curator of spiders (although I'm also quite jealous of his profession). A few quotes:
Of the new exhibit, (Mr. Platnick said), "I've always argued that it would draw as many people as the dinosaurs, if not more."and
Mr. Platnick, who has been at the museum since 1973, had long lobbied for a permanent hall devoted to spiders, insects and other arthropods. Not having one, he said, "is a major gap for a major natural history museum."I'm glad to see arachnids have such an awesome advocate. Now who wants to pay for me to go to the exhibit in July?
Spiders look bigger to arachnophobes
Yes, I saw the recent article. My husband agrees wholeheartedly, and feels vindicated for the many incidents in which I may have implied he's a big baby for being afraid of something half the size of his pinky fingernail. I don't know, though. I see a sea of emerald sparkles in a jumping spider's eyes, and a veritable forest of hair on its back. Maybe it's just fixation that makes the spiders appear massive.
My husband doesn't particularly care why. They're huge, according to him.
Oh, well. I've seen him watching them and photographing them when he thinks I'm not looking. And he does know there's not an army of invading brown recluses. It's a start.

I've never really allowed myself to think about luck in my working life. I shied away from the subject because it felt belittling to my efforts to admit that some — a lot? most? — of my professional successes might have been determined by circumstances beyond my control. But a line in Nobel Prize-winning Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow got me thinking:"Luck plays a large role in every story of success; it is almost always easy to identify a small change in the story that would have turned a remarkable achievement into a mediocre outcome."
All this time, had I been wrong?
Loosely defined, luck is something that occurs accidentally or randomly and benefits one professionally or personally. The longer the odds of the particular turn or twist happening, the greater the significance we'll assign to our sense of how "lucky" we've been.
Behavioral and Applied Management experts have developed mathematical formulae that attempt to quantify these slipperyvariables. But I think there are more intuitive ways for us to think about luck in our professional lives. Here's my take:
Learn to Recognize Luck When the Universe Knocks:
Early in my working life, an instance of luck significantly altered my career trajectory.
After graduating college as an art history major, I found work as a lowest-level-possible assistant at a big New York bank. The clerical work wasn't remotely gratifying but — and here's where luck enters — on the vast, 100-employee banking floor I happened to be assigned a desk directly in front of a woman who soon after went on to work for Children's Television Workshop.
When I called my former colleague to see if she'd be willing to talk to me about her new job, she mentioned she needed a secretary — as they were still called in the late 70s — and hired me on the spot. (Professional Lucky Moment, No. 1.)
I certainly had no influence over where the bank seated me. And I was not such a go-getter that the phone call to my former colleague was inevitable. But the two combined just happened to connect me to children's media, which turned out to be one of the consuming passions of my life.
Be Prepared to Be Lucky:
How we chooseto think about luck in our lives is tied to whether we tend to see the world as the glass half-empty or half-full. In Thinking Fast and Slow, Kahneman offers his own formula for how professional success happens:
Success = luck + talent
Great success = a little more talent + a lot of luck
But for those of us who weren't born with any single innate talent, here's my personal twist on how professional success happens:
Reasonable success = luck + preparedness
(I'm not the first to have this thought. Benjamin Franklin aphorized that "diligence is the mother of good luck," and a century later Louis Pasteur famously wrote that "chance favors only the prepared mind.")
But learning how to put that notion into practice takes, well, practice.
I worked incredibly hard as a secretary (see Professional Lucky Moment No. 1), so when Professional Lucky Moment No. 2 happened, I was prepared. Not too long after hiring me my boss was fired, and I was able to step into important parts of her job.
What were the odds of sitting in front of a young woman at a bank in the late 1970s (there were three in the division at the time) who would leave to work in television? Not good. And the odds that person would be fired as soon as I'd learned the ropes, allowing me to move quickly up the ranks? Approaching zero.
But in both instances I had the sense to recognize lucky moments, and, more importantly, take advantage of them.
In Great by Choice, Jim Collins explores the relationship between hard work and luck. He posits it's discipline that increases the odds of having a return on our luck. And I couldn't agree more.
(By the way, I'm not unique in believing a random seating assignment was one of the luckiest breaks in my career. See what Liar's Poker author Michael Lewis said about it in a commencement speech he gave at Princeton.)
Remember, What Looks Like Bad Luck Isn't Necessarily:
But we can't be lucky all the time. In 1996 my husband was fired from his job as editor-in-chief of New York magazine – a stroke of spectacularly public mega-bad luck.
As my husband wandered New York, trying to envision what he might do next, his cellphone rang. The call was from a literary agent he'd met a decade earlier, demanding that 1) she represent him and 2) he write "a big book."
And so at age 42 he became a novelist – and when that first novel was published a couple of years later, he was waiting to be interviewed on a New York public radio show, when he happened to see a job posting on a bulletin board and that job – which he landed – was creating the weekly national arts-and-culture program Studio 360 which, almost 13 years later, he is still hosting.
So, was my husband, lucky? Yes. But ask him on the day he lost his New York magazine job and he wouldn't have said so.
And me? Yes, I count myself lucky as well. Or maybe I just know to open the door when luck comes knocking.

HAVELOCK � Pandemonium.
HAVELOCK � Pandemonium.
That is perhaps the best way to describe the sheer volume of emotion released at W.J. Gurganus Elementary School in Havelock Wednesday morning when students in Ashley Alicea�s third-grade class found out they had won the national Mrs. P Be-a-Famous Writer Contest.
The children gathered around a projection screen tuned into a live YouTube announcement to hear the news.
�I crossed my fingers and my feet,� said Dejana Miles, one of the students who helped pen �My Magic App,� a collaborative class project.
�I love that the grand prize winning story was a collaborative class project,� said actress Kathy Kinney, who stars as Mrs. P. �This way they can all truly celebrate the win together.�
The class� story is about a spelling book application that turned people into anything and had special powers.
�It was amazing working together,� said student Amiya Pannell. �We had good ideas.�
�We thought up stuff and tried to put it together,� said student Vivian Ha.
Ha said the app was capable of turning people into frogs and bugs and could give the teacher quiet powers.
�They were awesome,� said Alicea. �They�ve really done a great job with their imagination and their creativity.�
Alicea said the students worked hard to make sure they incorporated all of the story elements in the book.
�It was fun and creative,� said Miles. �When we won, it was like awesome because it was very, very creative and our story had a lot of interest in it.�
Student Karla Funtes said the children started brainstorming ideas and settled on the app idea. The story was selected as one of five finalists in the contest last week.
�When we found out we were in the top 5, everybody started screaming,� Fuentes said.
As the winner, the school will receive a new eBook program worth $7,000. Illustrators have already started working on artwork for an edition of the book that will be published, with the school getting a copy.
The winning students will also have a Skype interview with an author as part of their prize.
They will also receive two $100 gift certificates to purchase books, and subscriptions to Tales2Go and myOn Reader, which will give them access to more than 4,000 digital books.
Principal Debbie Hurst told the students she was proud of their achievement, except for one thing.
�I was disappointed that I was not in the story as Principal from the Black Lagoon,� Hurst joked.
Mrs. P Enterprises is a Hollywood team emphasizing the love of reading and storytelling for young people. Mrs. P reads stories on the website www.MrsP.com, which also features games and activities for students. As winners of the contest, Alicea�s students will have their story read live on World Read Aloud Day on March 5.

Please read the editorial from the Santa Fe New Mexican, "Drilling oversight best left to locals":
Please read the editorial from the Santa Fe New Mexican, "Drilling oversight best left to locals":
The mission of Drilling
Bob Gallagher of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association noted that the state's landowner protection law, which just went into effect July 1, was borne out of cooperation between landowners and energy companies. The result was a balanced, fair bill that protected both sides, he said.
"It does not delay or deny access to mineral resources," Gallagher said.
Gallagher implied that the federal legislation, by contrast, is too one-sided. "It is not a good start. It is not a good finish. It was not written by someone in the field doing the work," he said.
Aside from the split-estate provisions, H.R. 2337 would amend sections of the 2005 Energy Policy Act that accelerated oil and gas drilling on public lands, severely limit the Interior Department's royalty-in-kind program and establish a fee on nonproducing leases. The measure also aims to bolster carbon sequestration studies and require new studies for wind power siting, and it would establish an intra-agency panel to address the effect of warming on federal lands, oceans and federal water infrastructure (E&E Daily, July 16).

"Al Jazeera has been the leader in literally changing people's minds and attitudes. And like it or hate it, it is really effective.In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners."
I wouldn't support a return to the fairness doctrine. It can be used to silence people.
True, but it can also require both sides to use ACTUAL facts in their reporting. How much hate, discontent and divisiveness from BOTH sides have been the fault of OPINIONS being reported as fact.
I would consider that the lesser of two evils. What good is having your voice heard if it's drowned in tons of bullshit?
If it was used to make them show facts and not force a station/show to show the other side to 'balance' it, then I might offer tentative support. I can see it being used more to silence the opposition than actually requiring facts to be shown. Especially on the radio.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it be a real hit in the nads to the REALLY outspoken idiots on the radio, the more balanced shows wouldn't have many problems. More 'facts' and less 'because I said it was fact' can't hurt things in my opinion.And you have to admit the actually veracity of American broadcast journalism went to shit with the disestablishment of the Fairness Doctrine in the 80s. That was when it really took off as a 'ratings' extravaganza.
Uum.. that's a rather disturbing statement Callie. Just because you do not like what someone is saying, doesn't mean you have any right to shut them up. Wether or not you like what they say, on the TV, cable/satellite, newsprint or internet, they have the right to say it (in this country at least). Many radio shows also do political commentary so forcing them off the air through the Fairness doctrine would seve to silence poltical speech and in this case, greatly help the Democrat party, since the radio is mostly dominated by the right leaning talk shows. Like it or not, they have a legitimate right to say what they will.
On a sidenote, I'm surprised AIPAC isn't trying to do something about this.
I have no problem with folks expressing OPINIONS. I have a problem with people doing so and sayign they are CONCRETE FACTS. Too many 'journalists' use the lack of anything remotely related to accountability as an excuse to say anything and everything that comes through their skull. How many times have ..well to use the best example that comes to mind.. Glenn Beck come onto TV and/or Radio with FACTS that were nothing remotely related to factual content?There was a LOT of editorials back when the fairness doctrine was in place. The OPINIONS of the media were aired, and did a lot to shape events. Fairness doesn't mean 'kill all opinion'.
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/aljazeera.netType in foxnews.com to see the trendline.In the US market, Al Jazeera is still a ways behind, but we'll see how long that lasts, especially as Fox seems to be losing popularity lately.So, will we get journalistic standards in the United States again?
Maybe we need to return to the Fairness Doctrine with the news media. Reagan removed it from play back in the 80s and quite frankly the quality of news 'reporting' has gone to shit since.
I thought that the Fairness Doctrine required the addition of the contrasting point of view - i.e., if you have an article on how awful the Dems are being for walking out of the Wisconsin Senate, you had to have an article on how awful the Repubs were being for trying to sneak the vote through without a quorum.
You're presuming some so-called 'Fairness Doctrine' would ensure a greater level equality. How does crap + crap = gold?
How do you propose returning accountability to reporting?
Correction on my part, I meant to say quality rather than equality. Though one could say they are certainly related.As me, the viewer, listener and reader it is up to me to drawn from multiple resources and come to a plausible truth. I don't suggest that news outlets don't have a responsibility to report the truth, they do, but to suggest the government can provide a likely remedy I think is off track. In my opinion we too often look to the government for redress when we should look to ourselves and our local communities. My first inclination is never to first look to Washington for a resolution. I'm perfectly capable of changing the channel, turning the page or finding multiple points of view online without the government's help.
Yes, that makes me a relic wanting REPORTERS and not talking heads. I DESPISE folks like Glenn Beck being considered as reporters. I HATE things like the media.. feeding frenzy that occurs these days. They DEMAND to know everything, get into EVERYTHING and never care what their rampant revelation of facts might do at times.
I would only say that anyone who thinks Glenn Beck (Insert your favorite pundit here) is a reporter, needs to have their head checked. I mean, I can only presume Liberals don't believe Jon Stewart is a reporter, right? Its an SNL skit, nothing more.Republican I may be, and while I know you aren't attacking me, I just want to reinforce that I know the difference between punditry and hard news.

RALEIGH � A North Carolina appeals court ruling could lead to the release of a man convicted of two deaths.
The state Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 Tuesday that the case of Bobby E. Bowden of Fayetteville is different from another case which saw the state Supreme Court decide in 2010 that a life sentence means life.
The appeals court sided with a lower judge who last year ordered that Bowden be released because he served his time under old sentencing guidelines.
A 1970s state law said a life sentence meant 80 years. The appeals court agreed with Bowden's attorneys that he earned credits shaving off more time for the 1975 slayings.
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Roy Cooper would not say whether the ruling would be appealed.

The Spook In Baghdad
The US had no problem with Saddam when he was engaged in an eight-year war with Iran and it was not until he invaded Kuwait and threatened the supply of oil that he became anathema.
(Sam Greenlee, who needs no introduction, right).
Baghdad, Iraq, July 14, 1958. The sound of the tanks woke me up.Â
I was sleeping on the roof, Baghdad-style, of my tiny rented house during my first tour of duty as a Foreign Service Officer of the United States Information Agency. I checked my watch; it was about four A. M. I'd celebrated my twenty-eighth birthday earlier with Iraqi friends and was asleep about one. I carried a chair to the edge of the roof and watched them as they passed. It took only minutes before my military training kicked in: the vehicles were
combat ready!Â
Two tank companies moved past, then a company of infantry in big, pug-nosed British lorries and it looked as if I was watching the vanguard of a full battalion of armored infantry, the canvas was off the top of the trucks and the troops were in full battle dress. As the last unit moved past, I lay down and went back to sleep.
The gunfire woke me just before dawn, from across the Tigris River in the direction of the royal palace, rifle fire, punctuated by the clatter of heavy machine guns, the lighter chatter of Sten guns and Bren guns, the
bigger bang of cannons and the thud of grenades.Â
In the direction of the sound of fire, I could see in the growing light, the muzzle flashes. I watched the flash of the gunfire for a while and thought the Revolution against the American-backed regime had begun. The almost bloodless coup was complete by noon and the Iraqis were dancing in the streets. The above, excerpt from my second novel, "Baghdad Blues,â€? describes my personal observation of the military coup of 1958 that overthrew the vicious American-backed dictatorship in Iraq.Â
Despite the pious pap emanating from the White House Gang that the imperialist invasion of Iraq is to save the Iraqis from a despot; the truth is that the United States has supported almost every right-wing dictatorship in the world over the last century; in Korea, Philippines, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Chile, Iran, Cuba, Haiti, Paraguay and other nations too numerous to mention. America loves dictators as long as they do what they
are told.         Â
During the eight years of my Foreign Service career, I witnessed the abortive support of the Nuri Said government in Iraq; was in East Pakistan when Ayub Khan carried out his CIA-backed military coup and in Greece when the CIA supported the fascistic colonels coup of 1967. The US had no problem with Saddam when he was engaged in an eight-year war with Iran and it was not until he invaded Kuwait and threatened the supply of oil that he became anathema. All of the lies, excuses and rationalizations coming from the White House and repeated without opposition from the American puppet media that Iraq poses a military threat to America are intended to obscure one fact: the US imperialist invasion is primarily intended to put an uppity Arab in his place!

Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA | A Douglas, Ga. airplane restoration company accused of salvaging parts from a crash site in Alaska has settled with federal prosecutors over unauthorized use of public land.
The U.S. attorney's office in Alaska said in a written statement that B-25 Group LLC of Douglas will pay $55,000, ending a five-year investigation.
The company was accused of taking airplane parts from the 1950 crash of an F-82 Twin Mustang on the Tanana Flats, south of Fairbanks.
Three F-82s took off from Ladd Air Force Base, now the Fairbanks Army post Fort Wainwright, for a practice flight in January 1950. One crashed, killing both men aboard, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
Salvagers from the Georgia company found the crash site in 2008 and removed some parts of the plane for use in another restored plane, prosecutors said.
According to prosecutors, the company initially asserted that the parts were legally acquired from a salvage yard in Fairbanks. A message left Friday morning with the company wasn't immediately returned.
The Bureau of Land Management will receive $50,000 for further recovery of the crash site. The remainder is considered a civil penalty and will be used for the protection of other historic aviation sites, prosecutors said.

As the dust settles on another great year for the General Tire TROPHYLITE Race Series a new champion is crowned. The apple didn't fall too far from the tree in the Messer family and Troy Messer is living proof. Troy takes the rein as champion from his father Gary Messer who was our 2011 General Tire TROPHYLITE Race Series Champion. We saw some of the best and closest racing in the 2011 season for the TROPHYLITE R-4 class and it brings us yet another champion to add to the coveted list of winners.
The racing at the Best in the Desert Transit West Ford Henderson 250 was great and started out with some tight battles for the lead early. The Championship battle going into this event was between Troy Messer and the team of Steve and Joe Hengeveld. An early electrical problem caused an early retirement for the Hengeveld team. This was a shock to everyone since the Hengevelds have finished every race they have entered since joining the TROPHYLITE family. "We always finish races, this is just not who we are" commented Joe Hengeveld when asked about the problems they encountered.
Troy Messer crossed the finish line first in class and won the race and that was exactly what he needed to clinch the championship. At the finish line Troy was interviewed. "First I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also want to thank everyone on the Messer team and everyone from TROPHYLITE for an awesome year of racing. Its great to win and get the championship. I know my dad and my team will be excited. " commented Troy when asked about his win.
With the close of another great season for the General Tire TROPHYLITE Race Series we set our eyes on the future. The 2012 race schedule will be one of the toughest in the history of TROPHYLITE and teams will have to endure 3 of the longest and toughest races in all of off-road racing. Look for some new teams in the TROPHYLITE family for 2012 and some great racing.

The all new V-8 powered truck just came off a win at the Vegas to Reno off road race and with some additional suspension tuning also won its class at the BITD Blue Water Desert Challenge. The R-8 utilizes the 37″ tall General Grabber race tire which worked well in the soft sandy race track. The R-8 proved to be fast showing speeds of well over 100 MPH on the track on the way to its 2nd win in 2 races. Stop by and check it out. With more trucks being built now the R-8 will be the class to race in 2012. The R-8 brings the low cost of spec truck racing and with 450 HP you wont be missing out on the high speed fun.
TROPHYLITE is a spec off-road race truck that has its own General Tire TROPHYLITE race series for the off-road community. The TROPHYLITE trucks are spec trucks which means that all of the trucks must use the same parts and are heavily regulated to keep the costs in line. TROPHYLITE has been building and running the race series now for about 3 years and just crowned their most recent series champion Gary Messer. For more on TROPHYLITE please visitwww.TROPHYLITE.com

KNOXVILLE, TN – Two teams in the Southern Professional Hockey League raised the bar for any future fights in hockey!
An epic hockey fight took place on Saturday night between the Fayetteville FireAntz and the Knoxville Icebears. The game was the regular season finale for the two teams and it was certainly a grand way to end the season.
After the fight subsided, 19 players were ejected, in addition to a coach for good measure. The fight which cleared the benches lasted for more than six minutes. Fayetteville lost so many players that it was forced to forfeit the game because it could not field a team.
Four players from the FireAntz and three players from the Icebears have received suspensions due to the fight. Both teams' head coaches have also been suspended by the SPHL.
Fayettville coach Tommy Stewart and his Knoxville counterpart, MArc Rodgers, have been suspended for two games that will commence this Friday during the playoffs.
Check out the fight below.

carotene(redirected from Alpha-ring)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
a yellow or red pigment found in many dark green, leafy, and yellow vegetables such as collards, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash, as well as in yellow fruit, milk, egg yolk, and body fat; it is a chromolipoid hydrocarbon existing in four forms (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-carotene), which can be converted into vitamin A in the body.
beta carotene
1. the β isomer of carotene.
2. a preparation of this substance administered orally to prevent vitamin A deficiency and to reduce photosensitivity in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Written also betacarotene and β-carotene.
A member of a class of carotenoids, yellow-red pigments (lipochromes) widely distributed in plants and animals, notably in carrots, and closely related in structure to the xanthophylls and lycopenes and to the open-chain squalene; of particular interest in that they include precursors of the vitamins A (provitamin A carotenoids). Chemically, they consist of 8 isoprene units in a symmetric chain with the 2 isoprenes at each end cyclized, forming either α-carotene or β-carotene (γ-carotene has only one end cyclized). The cyclic ends of β-carotene are identical β-ioninelike structures; thus, on oxidative fission, β-carotene yields 2 molecules of vitamin A. The cyclic ends of α-carotene differ in that one is an α-ionone and the other a β-ionone; on fission, α-carotene, like γ-carotene, yields 1 molecule of vitamin A (a β-ionone derivative).
carotene/car·o·tene/ (kar´o-tēn) one of four isomeric pigments (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-carotene), having colors from violet to red-yellow to yellow and occurring in many dark green, leafy, and yellow vegetables and yellow fruits. They are fat-soluble, unsaturated hydrocarbons that can be converted into vitamin A in the body; in humans the β- isomer (β- or beta carotene) is the major precursor of this vitamin.
beta carotene the β- isomer of carotene; a preparation is used to prevent vitamin A deficiency and to reduce the severity of photosensitivity in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria.
carotene(kăr′ə-tēn′) also
An orange-yellow to red crystalline pigment, C40H56, found in animal tissue and certain plants, such as carrots and squash. It exists in several isomeric forms and is converted to vitamin A in the liver.
Etymology: L, carota, carrot
a red or orange organic compound found in carrots, sweet potatoes, egg yolk, and leafy vegetables, such as beet greens, spinach, and broccoli. Beta-carotene, the most common form of carotene, is a provitamin and in the body is converted to vitamin A. See also vitamin A.
Yellow-red pigments (lipochromes) widely distributed in plants and animals, notably in carrots, and closely related in structure to the xanthophylls and lycopenes and to the open-chain squalene; they include precursors of vitamin A (provitamin A carotenoids).
caroteneOne of a group of orange pigments found in carrots and some other vegetables. Beta-carotene (provitamin A) is converted to vitamin A in the liver. This vitamin is needed for normal growth and development of bone and skin, for the development of the fetus and for the proper functioning of the RETINA.
carotenean orange plant pigment of the CAROTENOID group which is usually present in the CHLOROPLASTS, and sometimes occurs in pigment-containing structures called CHROMOPLASTS which are found in yellow/orange leaves, vegetables and fruits. Carotene is also found in green leaves but the colour is masked; the orange colour can be seen in autumn leaves as the chlorophylls break down first. Carotene is necessary for the production of vitamin A in man and has an ABSORPTION SPECTRUM of about 450 nm. Carotene acts as an accessory pigment, passing energy to chlorophyll a for use in LIGHT REACTIONS and protecting chlorophyll from excessive light, and from oxidation by the oxygen produced in PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
n an orange- or red-colored pigment found in plants, which is convertible into vitamin A by the body.
Yellow-red pigments widely distributed in plants and animals, notably in carrots; include precursors of vitamin A.
a yellow or red pigment from carrots, sweet potatoes, milk and body fat, egg yolk, etc.; it is a chromolipoid hydrocarbon existing in several forms. α-, β- and γ-carotene are provitamins which can be converted into vitamin A in the body by all animals except cats. β-carotene is the most important because of a quantitatively greater activity.

Many people steer clear of drinking "dark" beers like stouts, porters or black ales because of their ominous color, fearing they are too heavy or strong..
But there's no reason to be afraid of the dark. A beer's color is not necessarily an indicator of its body, calorie content, alcohol level – even taste.
So if you plan to hoist a pint for St. Patrick's Day tonight, keep in mind these three commonly held myths surrounding dark beer – as debunked by Julia Herz, publisher of CraftBeer.com and craft beer program director at the Brewers Association …
Myth 1: All dark beers are rich and heavy.
Dark beer color comes from the barley and rising temperatures of heat. Color is not an indicator of weight or body of a beer.
Myth 2: Dark beers have more calories than paler beers.
The toasting is the reason that the beer is darker. The color of the beer has nothing to do with the calories it contains.
Myth 3: All dark beers are higher in alcohol.
Many dark beers are the same alcohol level of paler beers – some event lower. Color is not an indicator of alcohol levels of any beers, of any style.
If you're looking for some Happy Hour inspiration, CraftBeer.com has also put together a list of local, American Craft Beer to help celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
And if you're in need of some St. Patrick's Day recipes (I've got the Corned Beef and Cabbage simmering on the stove as we speak), CraftBeer.com also offers more than 70 recipes that call for Stout to help you out.
