It's an interesting premise to think of the deactivated "antimatter fuel system" in the warp drive pods to have vented out their supply.
Assuming that the front of the TOS starship nacelles contained the matter-antimatter reactors (those of the

But what about the antimatter not in the warp drive pods? There is the antimatter fuel in the engineering hull ("That Which Survives") and also possibly the antimatter fuel on Deck 11 in "Errand of Mercy" to consider.
Could be a useful hint that the

BTW, I do agree that the antimatter fuel is generated as needed instead of giant fuel containers as portrayed in later Trek.
I most certainly don't. The amount of energy you need to put into the creation of antimatter equals the amount of energy yield you could get from matter-antimatter annihilation ("You canna change the laws of physics").
These enigmatic antimatter generators look like "magic".
On the other hand, if those large deuterium tanks (e.g. NCC-1701-D) were antimatter tanks I believe it might be easier to rationalize that space energy and/or matter is collected during flight. Hydrogen particles are available in open space, antimatter is not.
I would find it much easier to assume that warping space requires less M/AM annihilation than assumed. However, matter and antimatter tanks should have a more or less equal volume to credibly illustrate the 1:1 annihilation ratio.

Ben Cox struck a fierce 89 to propel Worcestershire into a strong position against Kent on day three of their LV= County Championship Division Two match at New Road.
The 22-year-old wicketkeeper hit 14 fours and a six as he compiled his highest first-class score to help the hosts reach 270 and give Kent a target of 266 to chase.
Cox came in after lunch with his side struggling at 113 for five and produced a gutsy innings given the circumstances, moving past his previous best of 65 before James Tredwell ended his 121-ball stay at the crease.
Former Worcestershire quick Doug Bollinger did most of the damage with the ball, though, taking 5-43 to keep Kent's hopes up, but the visitors were in a spot of bother at 51 for three, needing another 215.
With conditions again glorious, England national selector James Whitaker was in attendance for the start of play as Worcestershire resumed on 41 without loss, but Australian paceman Bollinger soon made inroads.
He had Daryl Mitchell caught behind by Sam Billings for 27, bringing to an end a solid opening partnership of 53 with Matthew Pardoe.
He trapped Moeen Ali lbw for nought the very next ball, but Tom Kohler-Cadmore avoided becoming a hat-trick victim.
Next ball...Wicket! Moeen Ali lbw Bollinger 0 Bollinger on a hat-trick..
— Kent Cricket (@kentcricket) April 15, 2014
The new man did not last too long, though, as he was caught by Brendan Nash off Tredwell for 18.
Bollinger ended Pardoe's resistance on 43, doing well to take a low catch after the batsman had misjudged his full-toss and, when Mitchell Claydon bowled Alexei Kervezee for 21 just before lunch, Kent were in command.
Ross Whiteley, with 34, and Cox set about rebuilding the hosts' innings and put on 55 for the sixth wicket before Bollinger got one to nip in to Whiteley.
But any hopes Kent may have had of mopping up the tail quickly were thwarted as Cox's partners dug in and allowed him to keep the total moving.
Gareth Andrew lasted 23 balls for eight, Jack Shantry 44 for 11 and, after the latter became Bollinger's fifth victim of the day and seventh of the match, Charles Morris 18 for two.
Cox himself was the last man out as a maiden first-class century eluded him.
Kent's reply got off to a poor start, Andrew removing Sam Northeast lbw for a duck with the third ball of the innings.
Andrew also did for Rob Key in similar fashion, while Kent were 27 for three when Shantry trapped Daniel Bell-Drummond, who made 61 in the first innings, in front for 14.
Nash and Ben Harmison were unbeaten on 14 and nine respectively at the close.

Chapter III: Enter Religion: The Origins of "Islamic Fundamentalism"
Nasser was a reasonably devout Muslim, but he had no interest in mixing religion with politics. It struck him as moving backward. This became apparent to the small Islamic parties that supported Nasser's rise to power. The most important one, the Muslim Brotherhood, began opposing him vigorously, often violently. Nasser cracked down on it in 1954, imprisoning more than a thousand of its leaders and executing six. One of those jailed, Sayyid Qutub, a frail man with a fiery pen, wrote a book in prison called "Signposts on the Road," which in some ways marks the beginnings of modern political Islam or what is often called "Islamic fundamentalism."
In his book, Qutub condemned Nasser as an impious Muslim and his regime as un-Islamic. Indeed, he went on, almost every modern Arab regime was similarly flawed. Qutub envisioned a better, more virtuous polity that was based on strict Islamic principles, a core goal of orthodox Muslims since the 1880s. As the regimes of the Middle East grew more distant and oppressive and hollow in the decades following Nasser, fundamentalism's appeal grew. It flourished because the Muslim Brotherhood and organizations like it at least tried to give people a sense of meaning and purpose in a changing world, something no leader in the Middle East tried to do.
In his seminal work, "The Arab Predicament," Fouad Ajami explains, "The fundamentalist call has resonance because it invited men to participate... [in] contrast to a political culture that reduces citizens to spectators and asks them to leave things to their rulers. At a time when the future is uncertain, it connects them to a tradition that reduces bewilderment." Fundamentalism gave Arabs who were dissatisfied with their lot a powerful language of opposition.
On that score, Islam had little competition. The Arab world is a political desert with no real political parties, no free press, few pathways for dissent. As a result, the mosque turned into the place to discuss politics. And fundamentalist organizations have done more than talk. From the Muslim Brotherhood to Hamas to Hizbullah, they actively provide social services, medical assistance, counseling and temporary housing. For those who treasure civil society, it is disturbing to see that in the Middle East these illiberal groups are civil society.
I asked Sheri Berman, a scholar at Princeton who studies the rise of fascist parties in Europe, whether she saw any parallels. "Fascists were often very effective at providing social services," she pointed out. "When the state or political parties fail to provide a sense of legitimacy or purpose or basic services, other organizations have often been able to step into the void. In Islamic countries there is a ready-made source of legitimacy in the religion. So it's not surprising that this is the foundation on which these groups have flourished. The particular form--Islamic fundamentalism--is specific to this region, but the basic dynamic is sim- ilar to the rise of Nazism, fascism and even populism in the United States."
Islamic fundamentalism got a tremendous boost in 1979 when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini toppled the Shah of Iran. The Iranian revolution demonstrated that a powerful ruler could be taken on by groups within society. It also revealed how in a broken society even seemingly benign forces of progress--education and technology--can add to the turmoil. Until the 1970s most Muslims in the Middle East were illiterate and lived in villages and towns. They practiced a kind of street-Islam that had adapted itself to the local culture. Pluralistic and tolerant, these people often worshiped saints, went to shrines, sang religious hymns and cherished religious art, all technically disallowed in Islam. (This was particularly true in Iran.) By the 1970s, however, people had begun moving out of the villages and their religious experience was not rooted in a specific place. At the same time they were learning to read and they discovered that a new Islam was being preached by the fundamentalists, an abstract faith not rooted in historical experience but literal, puritanical and by the book. …

Virginia's gubernatorial candidates have been actively courting absentee voters — a crucial bloc that represented more than half the margin of victory when Republican Robert F. McDonnell defeated Democrat R. Creigh Deeds in the 2005 attorney general's race.
As of Oct. 9, 46,246 people had voted early or requested absentee ballots — a figure elections officials say is roughly comparable to figures from the last gubernatorial election in 2005.
In their last matchup, Mr. McDonnell won the absentee vote by 180 out of 75,982 absentee ballots cast. Mr. McDonnell defeated Mr. Deeds by 323 votes out of 2 million cast statewide.
Identifying absentee voters has come a long way since then.
In the wake of the largest turnout in state election history for last year's presidential elections, both parties are using comprehensive databases created by the national parties to identify people likely to vote for their candidate.
The Democrats have worked to identify and contact absentee voters who are Democrats and Democratic voters who are eligible to vote absentee but might not have voted in the past, Deeds spokesman Mike Gehrke said.
"Organizing absentee voters has come a long way from 2005," Mr. Gehrke said. "We've adopted a lot of the Obama campaign and Virginia Democratic Party methods. … We expect to fare better than we did in 2005 with absentee voters."
The Republican campaign has sent a letter from Mr. McDonnell and an absentee-voting request form to every Virginian known to have voted absentee in last year's election, with a focus on military, Republican and independent voters.
"We know that Bob's positive message of new jobs and more opportunities is the one Virginians are rallying behind. And we want to ensure that every Virginian has the opportunity to vote for this positive vision at the ballot box, no matter their schedule or commitments," said McDonnell campaign spokeswoman Stacey Johnson. "Both Bob and his daughter, Jeanine, have served in the military, so they understand the importance for those serving our country overseas to have the opportunity to vote."
Last week, a federal court ruled that the state violated the voting rights of military and overseas voters in last year's presidential election by sending ballots without sufficient time for them to be returned on Election Day.
The state board is meeting Wednesday to determine how to implement the ruling, while at the same time adhering to state law that mandated ballots be received by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3.
"We are in unchartered waters when it comes to Virginia law, so we have to be mindful of what the court has ordered, but try to do it within the framework of Virginia code," said Nancy Rodrigues, secretary of the Virginia State Board of Elections.
Ms. Rodrigues said the state was prepared for the ruling, which was the second ruling pertaining to a lawsuit filed last year by the campaign of Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain and later taken over by the Department of Justice when a judge ruled the McCain campaign did not have standing to file the suit.
Gov. Tim Kaine earlier this year signed into law three bills aimed at ensuring that ballots make it into the hands of Americans overseas or military members stationed outside of Virginia.
The new laws contained the provision requiring ballots and in-person voting to be made available at least 45 days before the election for those who will not be able to come to the polls.

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

WASHINGTON, D.C. African-American men living in low sunlight areas are more likely to experience vitamin D deficiency than European-American men living in the same environment. Researchers believe that these findings should change recommendations for daily intake of vitamin D.
"This study shows that across the board vitamin D recommendations just won't work for everybody," said Adam B. Murphy, M.D., M.B.A., clinical instructor in the department of urology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, who reported the study at the Fourth AACR Conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities, held Sept. 18-21, 2011, in Washington, D.C.
"With so many diseases linked to low levels of vitamin D, we should have more stratified recommendations to consider groups within the population instead of making monolithic suggestions," he added.
Researchers evaluated the marker for vitamin D the 25 hydroxyvitamin D level (25-OH D level) in 492 men aged 40 to 79 years who lived in Chicago, a low ultraviolet radiation (UVR) part of the country. Of that group, 93 percent of African-American men and 69.7 percent of European-American men were vitamin D deficient; having 25-OH D levels of less than 30 ng/mL.
Results showed that vitamin D levels were low in African American men, those with lower income and those with higher body mass index. Low sunlight exposure is a known factor in lower levels of vitamin D, but researchers found that African American men still had lower levels of vitamin D in sunnier seasons.
Murphy attributes low vitamin D levels to the composition of African-American skin, which contains more of the pigment melanin than lighter skin. When UVR light hits the skin cells, it reacts with the molecule 7-dehydrocholesterol to begin the production of vitamin D, which is then further processed by the body to make active vitamin D. In African-Americans, though, melanin blocks UVR rays from being absorbed, th

As a Parsons Paris student, you join a diverse community in a dynamic city. We strongly encourage students unfamiliar with Paris, particularly first-year students, to take advantage of student housing.
Parsons Paris is located in a newly renovated historic building at 45 rue Saint-Roch, a short walk from the Louvre, the Palais Garnier, Gaîté Lyrique media arts center, Notre Dame cathedral, and other cultural highlights. Students from around the world looking for a Parsons education in an international city with a program taught in English study and live alongside New School mobility students spending one or two semesters away from New York to immerse themselves in the creative and intellectual activity of Paris.
The Parisian apartment setting offers an independent lifestyle, with three to four students sharing an apartment in the city of Paris. Students living in these apartments share the facility with families and others who live, work, or study in Paris. A management company provides facility services. In the apartment-style residences, security measures ensure that access is provided only to residents and their guests. The cost for the 2015–2016 academic year is $6,500 per semester per student.
An average apartment configuration is a 60-square-meter (about 650-square-foot) two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living-dining room, and bathroom. All apartments are located within the city of Paris and are no more than a 30- to 40-minute commute from Parsons Paris, with a maximum of one transfer on public transportation. Each apartment houses four students; bedrooms are double occupancy. Some apartments may house more than four students (with a maximum of eight students).
Parsons Paris will accept applications from students interested in sharing an apartment with peers in fall 2015 and spring 2016.
Follow these steps to apply:
Your housing application is not complete until you have made your $250 housing deposit. Please remember that this is a full academic year contractual obligation unless you are on mobility for one semester, graduating, or a single semester visiting student.
If you have any questions or concerns, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Application deadline for spring 2016 is November 1, 2015.
Housing is assigned on a first come, first served basis, based on availability.
There are many other ways students can secure housing within Paris, including through independent student residence facilities and agencies that assist with apartment rentals. Parsons Paris will provide referrals to students seeking independent housing in Paris.

Hearing begins for teacher in Alex Barton case | Video
ST. LUCIE COUNTY - Teacher Wendy Portillo's attorney said Monday his client admits to making a lapse in judgment, but thinks the loss of an exemplary career is far too great a penalty.
Portillo is appealing her one-year unpaid suspension she got in November for allegedly holding a class poll to see whether then-5-year-old Alex Barton could stay in class. Alex was being tested for a type of autism at the time.
St. Lucie County Schools Superintendent Michael Lannon testified briefly before the lunch break that he considered firing Portillo for the incident, but took into account her 12-year career in the district.
"The younger the child, the more this issue becomes an impressionable one. The learning environment was broken in this particular action," Lannon said.
Sue Ranew, assistant superintendent of human resources for the district, said she and Lannon had lost respect and confidence for Portillo, along with other students, parents and members of the community. She said parents had requested their children not be placed in Portillo's classroom should Portillo be returned to class.
The hearing is expected to take several days to conclude. Both Lannon and Ranew said they believe Portillo violated the code of ethics several times because of the incident.
"The incident of May 21 was very egregious on the part of Ms. Portillo," Ranew said. "The amount of notoriety has reduced her effectiveness as an educator in the classroom at this time."

On September 16, 1992, the grand jury returned an Indictment charging defendant XXXX X. XXXXXXXX in a six count Indictment. The counts in the Indictment are premised upon the defendant's activities in connection with his illegal purchases of unapproved bulk drugs intended for use in food-producing animals and his subsequent illegal distribution of those drugs.
Specifically, the Indictment charges the defendant with one count (Count 1) of conspiring to violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. §§ 331 and 333, both by agreeing to and actually causing the introduction of adulterated and misbranded bulk animal drugs into interstate commerce, with the intent to defraud and mislead, and by proffering the delivery of adulterated and misbranded bulk animal drugs (also with the intent to defraud and mislead) after receipt of those drugs in interstate commerce. The remaining counts (Counts 2 through 6) charge the defendant with introducing or delivering for introduction into interstate commerce, with the intent to defraud or mislead, misbranded animal drugs, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 331(a) and 333(b).
The drugs involved in these counts were drugs represented to be dimetridazole (Count 2), furazolidone (Counts 3 and 6), oxytetracycline (Count 4), and gentamycin (Count 5). These substantive counts allege that these drugs were misbranded within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1), in that their labeling did not bear adequate directions for use.
A. The Black Market In Animal Drugs
In recent years, a black market in unapproved animal drugs has flourished in this country. In general, this black market reflected two types of economic incentives.
The first type of incentive was the opportunity to profit by circumventing the government's pre-market approval process, which is costly and time-consuming. In response to this incentive, black marketeers have sold substitutes for approved drugs. The substitutes have taken the form either of finished, dosage-form drugs containing the same active ingredients as approved drugs, or, more commonly, unfinished, bulk active ingredients intended to be processed further by end-users. These bulk active ingredients have appeared in this country through the smuggling or otherwise unlawful importation activities of various individuals and entities. Because they have not been subjected to scientific scrutiny, the bulk ingredients -- and drugs manufactured from them under uncertain conditions -- are not guaranteed to have the same composition, purity, effectiveness, and safety as the approved drugs they purport to replace. They are, not surprisingly, marketed at much lower cost than the approved drugs.
At trial, the government will establish that defendant XXXX XXXXXXXX, acting as Cigar Store, Inc. ("Cigar"), [NOTE: names and places changed from original] a business he operated from his home, was illegally distributing bulk veterinary drugs that he had acquired through the black market. Specifically, the evidence will establish that the defendant was purchasing drugs from at least two black market sources, XXXX XXXXX and XXXXXX XXXXXXXX, both of whom have been convicted for selling unapproved bulk veterinary drugs. The defendant's purchase and subsequent distribution of these drugs, which were intended for use in food-producing animals, was wholly outside of approved channels and outside the control of the FDA, the agency responsible for ensuring that such drugs are safe and effective.
- The trial in this matter is set to begin on Monday, March 7, 1994, at 9:00 a.m. Interpreters will not be necessary, and the jury has not been waived. The government estimates the duration of the trial to be a maximum of eight (8) days. Since the return of the Indictment on September 16, 1992, the defendant has been released on his personal recognizance.
- The second type of economic incentive driving the black market in animal drugs was the opportunity to profit by distributing drugs that were effective in treating food-producing animals, but that were completely banned for such purposes by the government because of health risks to humans (or for some other reason).[FN1] In response to this second type of incentive, black marketeers again have typically smuggled into the United States or otherwise unlawfully imported bulk active ingredients from abroad.
FN1. For example, dimetridazole, which is identified in Count 2 of the Indictment as the subject of a November 1987 transaction, was banned from any use in food animals in July 1987, primarily due to concern over its carcinogenic properties. See United States v. 9/1 Kg. Containers, 854 F.2d 173, 177 (7th Cir. 1988) (citing 52 Fed. Reg. 25312), cert. denied, 489 U.S. 1010 (1989).
B. The Statutory Scheme
Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"), 21 U.S.C. §§ 301-94, Congress comprehensively regulates animal drugs. The regulatory scheme has two central aims. One is to insure that veterinary drugs effectively serve the purposes of those who administer them to animals: unsafe or ineffective drugs could wreak substantial economic damage on owners of livestock. The other aim is to insure the safety of the nation's food supply. Unapproved animal drugs, or drugs that are used in an unapproved manner, may leave chemical residues in eggs, milk, and meat derived from treated animals. Such residues could pose serious health risks to humans that ingest them.
To achieve its aims, the FDCA takes two complementary approaches to regulating animal drugs. One approach is to require that all "new animal drugs"[FN1] be approved as safe and effective by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") before being marketed for use.[FN2] A drug lacking such approval is deemed to be "adulterated" under the FDCA and is subject to a web of prohibitions concerning interstate distribution and use.[FN3] The other approach is to require that all drugs be properly labeled so that all users, including laymen, can use them safely and effectively.[FN4] A drug that is not properly labeled is deemed to be "misbranded" under the FDCA and is subject to the same web of prohibitions concerning interstate distribution and use.[FN5]
FN1. The term "new animal drug" is defined in the FDCA, 21 U.S.C. § 321(w). Although the import of the definition is not entirely self-evident, virtually all drugs in use in veterinary medicine or in animal feeds come within the definition of "new animal drug."
FN2. 21 U.S.C. § 360b.
FN3. 21 U.S.C. §§ 331, 351(a)(5), and 360b.
FN4. 21 U.S.C. § 352; 21 C.F.R. § 201.5 (1993). Unapproved new animal drugs are, by definition, also improperly labeled. To be proper, labeling must give adequate directions for use. 21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1). It is impossible to give adequate directions for using a drug that is not approved for any use because the directions given, if any, would not be based upon adequate scientific information.
The FDA gives pre-market approval to a "new animal drug" only if its sponsor demonstrates that the drug is safe and effective for its intended uses. To gain approval, the sponsor must submit a "new animal drug application" (commonly known by the acronym "NADA") bearing extensive, scientifically rigorous data covering a number of subjects.[FN6] In the case of all new animal drugs, whether or not intended for use in food-producing animals, such requirements include scientific data that establish the drug's safety and effectiveness for its intended purpose;[FN7] a complete statement of the ingredients and composition of the drug;[FN8] and a full description of the all facilities, methods and controls used in producing the drug.[FN9]
FN6. See generally 21 U.S.C. § 360b(b).
FN7. See 21 U.S.C. § 360b(b)(1)(A).
FN8. 21 U.S.C. §§ 360b(b)(1)(B) and 360b(b)(1)(C). A drug typically consists of a number of different ingredients, some "active" and some not. A variation, no matter how slight, in the quality of any ingredient in a drug can materially alter the drug's safety, effectiveness, or both.
FN9. 21 U.S.C. § 360b(b)(1)(D). Unless a manufacturer has in place reliable production methods and controls, there can be no assurance that all batches of a drug will be equally safe and effective.
In the particular case of drugs intended for use in food-producing animals, the requirements go further. The application must describe how the manufacturer proposes to measure chemical residues in food products derived from treated animals and must describe any restrictions on the use of the drug necessary to keep residues at safe levels that will not pose a health risk to humans.[FN10] Drugs that leave potentially dangerous residues will not be approved.[FN11]
FN10. 21 U.S.C. §§ 360b(b)(1)(G) and 360b(b)(1)(H). More specifically, a NADA must describe how the manufacturer proposes to measure chemical residues in food products derived from treated animals and must describe any restrictions on use of the drug necessary to keep such residues at safe levels.
FN11. United States v. 9/1 Kg. Containers, 854 F.2d at 174.
Approval of a NADA, if granted, pertains only to those particular uses of the drug specified in the application (uses that would typically be confined to particular animals and to specific disease conditions), and only to the particular manufacturing practices specified in the NADA.[FN12] Furthermore, the FDA can revoke approval if at a later time data show that the drug is not safe or effective for the particular uses for which it had been approved.[FN13]
FN12. 21 U.S.C. § 360b(a)(1).
FN13. 21 U.S.C. § 360b(e).
Labeling requirements complement the requirement of premarket approval by promoting the safe and effective use of all animal drugs. Proper labeling insures that drugs that are approved for use are in fact not misused in ways that detract from safety or effectiveness.[FN14] Elements of proper labeling include adequate directions for use[FN15] and a statement of the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.[FN16]
FN14. Indeed, in deciding whether to grant pre-market approval to a "new animal drug," the FDA considers the manufacturer's proposed labeling. 21 U.S.C. § 360b(b)(1)(F).
FN15. 21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1). Adequate directions instruct users, including laymen, on such matters as dosage, frequency, and safety precautions. Failure to follow such directions could result in the drug not being effective or, even worse, in the drug causing harm to the animals treated, to humans administering the drug, or to humans ingesting food products derived from treated animals.
FN16. 21 U.S.C. § 352(b)(1). Identification of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor enables a user experiencing difficulties with a drug to report problems or to pursue appropriate remedies. Similarly, this identification allows the FDA, if necessary, to take the necessary regulatory action.
The FDCA's prohibitions on the distribution in interstate commerce of misbranded or adulterated animal drugs reach quite far across the chain of distribution. For example, since the FDCA defines "drug" to include any article intended for use as a component of a "drug",[FN17] bulk drugs -- i.e., active ingredients intended for manufacture into finished drug products -- fall squarely within the FDCA's purview."[FN18] Likewise, the term "new animal drug" includes drugs intended for use as ingredients in animal feed.[FN19]
FN17. 21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(D).
FN18. E.g., Algon, 879 F.2d 1154, 1155 (3d Cir. 1989); 9/1 Kg. Containers, 854 F.2d at 178-79.
FN19. 21 U.S.C. § 321(w).
Accordingly, bulk drugs destined for inclusion in any "new animal drug" would be deemed to be adulterated and misbranded under the FDCA unless specifically within the coverage of an approved NADA governing all aspects of the "new animal drug," including identity of ingredients.[FN20] This requirement extends to and includes bulk drugs distributed to veterinarians for use in their practice.[FN21]
FN20. 21 U.S.C. §§ 351(a)(5), 360b. There is one chief exception to this general rule: under 21 U.S.C. § 360b(j) and pertinent regulations, provision is made to exempt from the FDCA's prohibitions drugs and drug ingredients used under carefully controlled conditions in scientific investigations. The sponsor of any such investigation must comply with a number of obligations and must document the exemption by submitting to FDA a "Notice of Claimed Investigational New Animal Drug Exemption" ("INAD exemption").
FN21. Algon, 879 F.2d at 1158-63; 9/1 Kg. Containers, 854 F.2d at 177-78.
Neither knowledge nor intent is required to establish a misdemeanor violation of the FDCA. United States v. Park, 421 U.S. 658, 668-73 (1975); United States v. Hiland, 909 F.2d 1114, 1127-28 (8th Cir. 1990). Establishing a felony violation of the FDCA requires proof that the defendant acted with "the intent to defraud or mislead."[FN22] "Intent to defraud or mislead" encompasses the intent to defraud regulatory authorities, such as the FDA, by evading detection. E.g., United States v. Arlen, 947 F.2d 139, 143 (5th Cir. 1991) ("intent to defraud or mislead" can be established by showing that "the defendant intentionally violated § 331 with the specific intent to defraud or mislead an identifiable government agency"), cert. denied, 112 S. Ct. 1480 (1992); United States v. Mitcheltree, 940 F.2d 1329, 1347 (10th Cir. 1991) ("intent to defraud or mislead" can be established by showing that "a defendant consciously sought to mislead drug regulatory authorities such as the FDA or a similar governmental agency"); United States v. Cambra, 933 F.2d 752, 755 (9th Cir. 1991) ("intent to defraud or mislead" can be established by showing that the defendant "was trying to hide his activities from the FDA because he was worried that they certainly wouldn't approve of what he was doing"); United States v. Bradshaw, 840 F.2d 871, 874-75 (11th Cir.) ("intent to defraud or mislead" can be established by showing that the defendant took actions to avoid detection by the FDA and state law enforcement authorities), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 924 (1988).
- The evidence at trial will further show that the drugs bought and sold by the defendant were substances he represented to be (and the purchasers believed to be) antibiotics intended for veterinary use. These drugs were in bulk, or highly concentrated, form (hence the name "bulk animal drugs"), and therefore required further processing before they could be used in animals. The drugs distributed by the defendant included, among others, dimetridazole,[FN23] furazolidone,[FN24] gentamycin, oxytetracycline, and carbadox.[FN25]
FN23. Evidence at trial will show that, prior to July 1987, dimetridazole, a powerful antibiotic, was manufactured under an FDA approval that permitted it to be used solely in turkeys. Effective July 31, 1987, the FDA banned the use of dimetridazole entirely. 52 Fed. Reg. 25312 (July 6, 1987). This action was taken due to growing evidence that dimetridazole was a carcinogen and because of concern, therefore, that drug residues in meat, milk, and eggs resulting from the use of dimetridazole in food animals was a significant health concern. Count 2 of the Indictment charges the defendant with distributing dimetridazole in November 1987, after the drug was banned entirely for use in food animals.
FN24. The FDA banned the use of furazolidone in food animals as of January 31, 1992. 56 Fed. Reg. 164 (August 23, 1991). This action was taken because of a finding that furazolidone was an animal carcinogen and because furazolidone residues were not shown to be safe for human consumption. Prior to this ban, furazolidone was approved for use in poultry and swine. That approval, however, like all FDA approvals, required, among other things, that furazolidone be labeled properly with information including the strength or concentration of the drug and required withdrawal times--information required to ensure the drug was used safely. Counts 3 and 6 of the Indictment charge that the defendant sold furazolidone without adequate directions for use.
FN25. Carbadox in bulk form presents special threats to humans, both in the direct handling of the drug and in its lingering health risks from tissue residue. Carbadox is extremely explosive, has associated fumes that are pulmonary toxicants, and may cause chromosomal aberrations and adversely affect spermatogenesis. Residues of the drug in animal-derived food pose health risks due to mutagenicity, clastogenicity and germ cell toxicity.
The ultimate origin of the drugs sold by the defendant is uncertain, but at least one of the defendant's suppliers will testify that many of the drugs sold to the defendant were smuggled into the United States. None of the bulk drugs bought by the defendant from XXXXX and XXXXXXXX and sold to his various customers were approved by FDA. The evidence at trial will also show that the drugs distributed by the defendant bore little, if any, labeling. Moreover, witnesses will testify that the labels on these drugs were removed so the drugs could not be traced back to the original source or to the distributors.
Ample evidence of the defendant's intent to evade the FDA's regulatory controls relating to the distribution of animal drugs can be found in the manner in which he both acquired and distributed bulk animal drug products. Indeed, the defendant's manner of obtaining the drugs from his black market suppliers was purposely designed to evade detection by the FDA and other regulatory authorities. For example, testimony at trial will establish that at least one of the defendant's suppliers initially delivered black market animal drugs directly to the defendant's home. The mode of delivery changed dramatically, however, after a visit to the defendant's home by an FDA investigator inquiring about the defendant's activities. Thereafter, the defendant and his supplier took several steps designed to avoid FDA scrutiny. No longer would the supplier deliver drugs to the defendant's home in Carroll. Instead, the defendant and the supplier would meet elsewhere, and would then exchange the drugs in a park or other "neutral" location. Testimony will establish that this surreptitious behavior was directly tied to the FDA's visit to the defendant, as well as the defendant's and the supplier's concerns that no one, particularly FDA, witness the defendant's continued acquisition of these unapproved drugs.
Further, the evidence will show that the defendant, acting as Cigar, acquired more than $600,000 worth of bulk drugs from his black market sources. Despite this huge quantity of business, Cigar maintained no records documenting the defendant's illegal acquisition of the drugs.
The evidence relating to the defendant's knowledge and intent is also compelling. As early as June 1986, the defendant acknowledged in a sworn declaration, that "the sale of bulk vet drugs to anyone other than an NADA holder is considered illegal by the Food and Drug Administration." The evidence will show that, notwithstanding the defendant's personal acknowledgement of the law, he continued to violate the law, buying various bulk animal drugs without personally possessing an NADA and selling those drugs to individuals who had no NADAs. In fact, the evidence will show that less than one month after the date of this declaration, the defendant sold 5 kilograms of carbadox (a/k/a mecadox) and 20 kilograms of dimetridazole to a veterinary customer.
The defendant's behavior when selling these illegal drug products was equally furtive. For example, as a general course, neither the drugs, nor many of the invoices issued by the defendant bore any indications of the nature of the drugs being distributed. Testimony will establish that many of the bulk drug products delivered by the defendant were in drums or bags bearing, at worst, no identifying features, or, at best, labels written in a foreign language. None of the products bore labels indicating the potency of the drugs, much less providing adequate directions for handling or use.
Even the invoices provided by the defendant to his customers were designed to conceal his illegal activities from the regulatory authorities. In contrast to the invoices he issued when distributing approved drugs, many of the invoices the defendant issued in conjunction with his sale of unapproved drugs did not identify Cigar as the seller. In addition, the defendant very rarely identified the drugs by name on the invoices. Instead, he employed a system of numerical codes (e.g., "10B" for carbadox, "50B" for dimetridazole, "60" for gentamycin, "80" for furazolidone, "200B" for oxytetracycline) to further mask his illegal distribution of the drug products. Moreover, as evidenced by Cigar's production of documents to the grand jury, the defendant maintained no invoices relating to his distribution of these drug products.
Finally, perhaps the best evidence of the defendant's intent to defraud the FDA's regulatory and enforcement mechanisms comes from the defendant himself. On two different occasions in 1987, the defendant was interviewed by FDA investigator Jan Longenecker. On both occasions, the defendant, although specifically asked about the nature of Cigar's business, purposefully omitted any mention of his involvement in the sale of bulk animal drugs.
First, on January 12, 1987, the defendant affirmatively misrepresented his activities to Longenecker, stating that the only FDA regulated products with which he dealt were premix products (i.e., medicated feed), notwithstanding the fact that five days earlier he had purchased $17,660 worth of bulk drugs from one of his black market sources, and four days earlier he had sold 1 kilogram of the bulk drug ampicillin.
Similarly, during an interview on March 2, 1987, the defendant was again asked by Longenecker about Cigar's business operations. This time, the defendant represented that Cigar was involved with his wife's "home interiors" business, that he "worked" cattle occasionally, and that he sold a limited number of medicated premixes. Again, the defendant purposely concealed that he was engaged in the purchase and sale of bulk veterinary drugs, notwithstanding the fact that:
(1)by this point in time, the defendant had purchased almost $300,000 worth of bulk veterinary drugs from his black market sources, and had combined gross sales of bulk animal drugs to two customers in excess $100,000; and
(2)less than three weeks earlier, the defendant had purchased $33,225 worth of bulk veterinary drugs from one of his black market sources; and
(3)slightly more than three weeks earlier, he had sold, among other drug products, 10 kilograms of carbadox (a/k/a mecadox), 50 kilograms of dimetridazole, and 80 kilograms of furazolidone (a/k/a furox), all of which were unapproved bulk animal drugs.
Finally, the evidence will show that after this visit from the FDA, the defendant purchased another $300,000 worth of illegal bulk animal drugs from his black market suppliers, and that his sales of these drugs continued unabated.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--MIT and New York University researchers have identified a weakness in the defenses of the anthrax bacterium that could be exploited to produce new antibiotics.
The researchers found that nitric oxide (NO) is a critical part of Bacillus anthracis's defense against the immune response launched by cells infected with the bacterium. Anthrax bacteria that cannot produce NO succumb to the immune system's attack.
Stephen Lippard, the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry at MIT and an author of a paper on the work, said antibiotics developed to capitalize on this vulnerability could be effective against other bacteria that employ the same defense system. Those bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, which commonly causes infections in hospitals and can be extremely drug-resistant.
The paper appears in the Jan. 21 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Anthrax occurs naturally around the world and can infect all warm-blooded animals including humans. Treatment usually includes large doses of intravenous and oral antibiotics, but the disease can often be fatal-especially if treatment is not started right away.
In the human immune system, specialized cells called macrophages are the first line of defense against anthrax infection. Macrophages engulf the bacteria and bombard them with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which create chemical reactions toxic to the bacteria.
The research team found that NO produced by the bacteria preemptively defends against attack by reactive oxygen species produced by the macrophages soon after infection. Twelve hours later, when the macrophages release NO to join in the attack, it is too late-by then the bacteria have taken over and eventually destroy the macrophages.
When the gene for the enzyme that synthesizes NO is knocked out in the bacteria, they cannot defend against early attack by the macrophages, which can th

Former underwear model and current mechanic Jared Leon always figured his best friend, Aidan, had it easy being gay. Satisfying a man had to be much simpler than trying to figure out how to please a woman, right?
Well, he's about to find out.
A trip to Alaska to get over his messy divorce sounds like just what Jared needs to put the past behind him. Or at least, it sounds perfect until Jared learns that he and Aidan are spending two weeks at a hunting and fishing lodge exclusively for gay men. That's fine for Aidan, but Jared is not gay. No way, no how.
Just because he fantasizes about Aidan doesn't mean anything, right? And neither does lusting after the lodge owner, or casting longing looks at some of the guests. But when one little kiss leads to much more, Jared is forced to confront everything he thought he knew about himself...including the possibility that his relationship with Aidan has always been about something other than good old-fashioned male bonding.
And wouldn't his ex-wife have a fit if she discovered she was right about him all along...

Olberman gets the boot
Bye bye Keith
I'm actually surprised that MSLSD would go against their best "Buds" in the
DC lively hood of hidden money
Have fun in the unemployment line,Keith-----See how your Libtard "Buddies" back you up?
Enjoy-maybe one Keith will actually get a brain cell-doubt it!
Sure looks like he was wearing Milkbone underwear
He's someone I love to hate, and he spews crap every day of the week, but as I understand it he got canned because he gave $ to a 3 Democratic candidates. BFD. I think he should have the right to support whoever he wants to support. It's a free country, sorta. The idea he needs to maintain some guise of impartiality as a journalist is stupid; he's _obviously_ not a neutral journalist! He got Juan Williamsed IMHO.
It just cracks me up seeing the left eat their own!
I love it!
Great news!!! I can't stand to listen to him or that Rachel Maddow. They both disgust me.
Hate to do this, but... Keith was suspended without pay bacause MSNBC is a NEWS organization that has a published rule against political contributions so that they can reduce any apearence of a conflict of interest (CLEARLY Keith is of a liberal bent and I would not agree with him on many issues). Keith's real sin was failing to get permission from management (a requirement written into the rule). Hopefully, he won't be permenently canned (some of his stuff really belongs on Comedy Central ) over this (come ON $7200 in contributiuons; not much of a drop in the bucket).
NOW, does FOX have anything like that rule to presurve at least the appearence of journalistic entegrity? Uhhh... NO! Fox "NEWS" personalities regularly raise money on FOX air time, contribute directly to campagns, and host fund raising events. Do you really think they are reporting anything LIKE a true and balanced picture of what's actually happing? I guess the daily cost of Obama's trip to the Far East really IS more than the daily cost of the entire Afgan war!
Keith's not perfect, entertaining maybe, but not purfect; still despite HIS bias, he's more balanced and accurate than what's coming out of FOX, Rush, etal...
Don't get me wrong, I beleive gun control means using both hands, people should to WORK for a living, and if you make your bed you should sleep in it, BUT the debate on the right has not only gotten mean spirited, its becoming untruthful, and THAT scares the $H!T out of me!

It's no different from where any of us work-we know the rules.
As far as MSLSD being credible-way far from it,I have never seen more twisted stories come from the liberal Obama-run media-I watch them all and can clearly see the difference-it's no contest on lies.
Annita Dunn (Obama's first media watchdog who left because she couldn't keep her mouth shut) clearly stated that they controlled everything the media said and printed DURING Obama's campaign,and to date until she got the axe!
As far as the right being mean spirited,perhaps you are unaware of how the left has been underhanding in trashing of republican candidate's character,the tea party,etc.
The Left will do what ever to get what they want-which means they will turn the tables,reverse the story,and flat out lie to get what they want-period.
They have no shame with trying to win and keep power-but don't think for a second they give a **it about you or anyone else.
Not to mention anyone who objects his policies is a Nazi, racist or fear monger because people don't want Socialism.
All this is clearly obvious from the elections.
Just my opinion,and many others for that matter.
"Keith's not perfect, entertaining maybe, but not purfect; still despite HIS bias, he's more balanced and accurate than what's coming out of FOX, Rush, etal... "
Sorry brother, but IMHO saying Keith is more fair and balanced than FOX is like saying NPR is fair and balanced. You may not like FOX, but I can remember far enough back in Bush Days, when FOX would report a few things against sitting Republicans too, not just the Democrats. Now a days you would be hard pressed to find NPR or MSNBC reporting against a democrat in office unless the guy has committed some HUGE wrong-doing that had already been carried by all the other major networks.
The owners of the company however do not. Nor do a few of their commentators.
Oh and on that note. Olberdouches suspension is over. He's back on the air
Well, On reflection... I should probably stay away from the keyboard after my 2nd beer.
I will say that I personally have always done better economically during Democratic administrations. I took it in the neck durring the Reagan years, I was working in a restront and going to school; my taxes went up and my hourly rate stayed flatter than it would have been (a $0.10 increase in the minimum wage did me out of a $0.25 performance increase <GRUMBLE> ). I will say that the Reagan Federal job cuts set up the conditions that have kept me employed for the past 21 years. Yea, he cut the workforce, that didn't mean all that WORK just went away, so they had to hire contractors at twice the cost to do it. As a tax payer it tics me off. As an employee and stock holder of a major Ferderal contracting company... Not so much (Holy law of unintended consequenses Batman!). Anyway, I'll continue to hold opinions that annoy both ends of the political spectrum and vote my wallet every time.
That's all I'm going to say about politics, that was my Dad's thing anyway, I'll just stick to tech from here on.

Martin Whitmarsh queries the number of pay drivers in both F1 and elsewhere, arguing they are preventing raw talent from reaching the top
He has no right to say when McLaren themselves hired one.
Hires a pay driver.Questions pay drivers.This guy's a ******* comedian.
Did he really say that or is crash putting words into his mouth??? Whitmarsh comes across as being a VERY smart person. Surely he's not dumb enough to say something like that when he's had pay drivers in the past.
Sadly this has always been teh case in motorsport - the guy with the biggest cheque book wins - and the need for new drivers is always based on "how much can you bring?" - F1's been the same since time began...Talent alone has never been enough - even in my day when Mike Thackwell completely blew the F2 field away and could never get into a decent F1 seat & when a certain son of a famous "nightclub owner" was presetned with a full-on Class A F3 drive & spun 5 times in one lap!! This may sounds like sour grapes, but its not - just recognition that t'was ever thus & t'will ever be........
When did they hire a pay driver may I ask?Yes, Perez has big money behind him, but he, without a doubt, has the talent! Got a Sauber on the podium twice, caught and almost passed Alonso... Please, grow up children, stop hating just to hate... Whitmarsh has a very valid point, it is getting to the stage where pay drivers can put a lot of people off this sport... Like Karthikeyan...
fesso and ken. perez was a pay driver at sauber, but is a PAID driver at macca. yes, he might have brought some sponsorship with him, just as ferdi did at ferrari (and previously macca), but i would not now call him a pay driver.
He can well afford to question the number of pay drivers because he has a massive amount of money at his disposal, however it has not stopped him being hypocritical in the extreme baring in mind that a certain Mr Perez has extensive backing from Mexico and I've no doubt that helped in getting Perez the drive especially as McClaren has to pay for it's engines this season. Until their is a level playing field in F1 it will continue to be a rich teams sport and with McClaren, RedBull and Ferrari at the helm it is not going to change any time soon. There is one rule for us and one rule for you and that will remain the case until some common sense comes to prevail, not very likely I'm afraid.
Another warning to the powers to be. Limit costs. The teams unamiously can't agree in cost cutting for some will potentially be losers in leveling the playing field. We need a Mosely type edict. In fact the noises are the other way with some larger teams pushing for more testing!
Back in my day yu started your motorsport life in Club Racing, graduated to National Meetings where you earned points towards an International Licence. Surely it must be similar today. I know this will still mean those with more money will get ahead bur hopefully everyone in F1 is at least competent!!

Deputies: Woman agreed to deliver drugs to correctional facility
A Homestead woman is accused of making a deal with undercover deputies to deliver hundreds of prescription drugs to a correctional facility.
Anna Mancias, 29, was arrested Wednesday by Collier deputies at the 1600 block of Lake Trafford Road.
According to an arrest report, an undercover deputy negotiated with Mancias to deliver 600 oxycodone and 200 roxycodone tablets into a Florida correctional facility. Mancias told undercover deputies she also wanted $850 for assisting them in introducing the drugs to the facility.
Later that day, undercover deputies met with Mancias and provided her with the drugs, which she placed in her front pants area and also gave her $880, according to reports.
Mancias was arrested on a felony charge of trafficking a controlled substance.

New Mexican Apple Pie
For a 9 inch pie
6 cups peeled sliced apples
Granny Smith apples work great
I prefer a mix of Grannys and Fuji or Galas
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup of sugar, white works fine but I prefer Turbinado
2 Tbls cinnamon
1/2 tsp of dried ground ginger
1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
2 oz of fresh lemon juice
2 oz of hot green chili
2 oz of pinon nuts (pine nuts)
egg wash 1 egg and 2 oz of water
2 Tbls of turbinado sugar
Mix all ingredients well in a bowl
and let them sit for 20 minutes to meld
fill the bottom crust and cover with a full top crust
poke the top crust with a fork to vent
brush with an egg wash
sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar
bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours
turn the pie every 20 minutes to get an even
golden brown
and look for thick bubbles of juices from the vent holes
I suggest a scoop of Vanilla ice cream
or whipped cream
share with good people and enjoy

If you run a successful restaurant on Clement Street, apparently you face a terrible temptation to open another restaurant on Clement Street across the road, perhaps, or on the next block. And the new place should appeal to a different socioeconomic stratum. For grand Clémentine, this formula resulted in the opening, about four years ago, of Bistro Clement, an earthier and less formal sibling that trafficked in traditional French bistro dishes.
Now the Burma Superstar people, just a block or so to the west of Clémentine, have borrowed a page from the Clémentine script and, in early May, opened their own companion venture, B Star. In a small, or not-so-small, irony, B Star occupies the space held by Bistro Clement before it went under. If that is a bad omen, let's consider some favorable ones: unlike Bistro Clement, B Star represents an upmarket, not downmarket, move. (Burma Superstar's lofty reputation has to do with its food, not its ambience) Also, the menu is, of course, Burmese (-ish), and the new place is on the same side of the street as the parent restaurant.
If you're on foot, in fact, you're not likely to miss B Star. It's the mid-block spot with would-be patrons idling and swirling on the sidewalk and in the doorway. Yes, the crowds have already descended, apparently drawn by alluring whiffs of upmarketry and innovative Asian cooking. That formula has been working at nearby Namu, and now it works at B Star, though the two are hardly interchangeable. While Namu is of the night, B Star has the look of day: knotted pine floors, creamy yellow walls, globes of soft light dangling from the ceiling, and a fair amount of lush greenery. If Namu is an ersatz nightclub, then B Star has a certain gazebo quality, even in the evening.
The menu card adverts to "simple and wholesome Asian-style comfort foods." Never have so few syllables signaled so much to so many; they make me think of meatloaf tataki. B Star doesn't offer that (does anyone?), but the kitchen does turn out dishes all along the innovation spectrum, from a fabulous, if traditional, platha ($4.50) a disc of pastry-like flatbread, cut into quarters and presented with an irresistible curry sauce for dipping to a heart-shaped potpie ($14) filled with Thai-style salmon, carrots, red peppers, zucchini, and snap peas awash in a green curry coconut milk sauce that doesn't lack for chile punch.
Most of the dishes strike a reasonable balance between familiarity and wildness. Care is taken with putf8gs and other small touches, and the ensemble of crockery, rich in eccentric shapes, has a museum-of-modern-art feel that subtly elevates the food it carries. Also, the kitchen is keenly attentive to the matter of texture and to the value of crunchiness, in particular. We detected a definite crispness in a vegetarian samusa soup (a $7 bowl was plenty for two), whose delights included cabbage, lentils, potatoes worthies all, though soft and falafel. I love falafel but had never before enjoyed it in any other form than wrapped in a pita or lavash. Here it resulted in a soup that went crunch, and we only wished that the murky, curry-scented, slightly metallic broth had been a little less harsh.
"It's missing something," my companion said. Salt? Salting helped but did not cure. Something freshening or fruity, maybe?
Additional crunch turned up in kau soi ($11), a large, shallow bowl filled with noodles, bean sprouts, pickled mustard greens, and ground chicken, each in its place, which made the bowl look like a 3-D map of some ethnically fractured island. It fell to the diner to mix and mingle (as with the Korean beef salad known as bi bim bop), and one of the first things this diner noticed was that the chicken more shredded than ground, I thought was wonderfully crispy, in contrast to the soft-focus players.

text: NBA 2K11 has been up for various sports game of the year awards and has also been regarded as the best 2K Sports game since ESPN NFL 2K5 (bleh). That's high praise from the sports gaming community but unfortunately it's completely unfounded based on journalists' need to crown one NBA game the winner this year. And since there really wasn't much competition, NBA 2K11 won by default. Unfortunately, just by winning this meaningless "competition," this game was launched into a similar sphere at NHL 11 and MLB The Show 10 both of which are completely ridiculous. NBA 2K11 is one of the most overrated games I've ever seen.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - After turning Tobacco Road into "Raleigh Top," Tennessee is headed to the round of 16.
Tennessee denied Mercer a second straight upset in decidedly one-sided fashion, routing the Bears 83-63 in the third round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday night behind 17 points and a career-high-tying 18 rebounds for Jarnell Stokes.
Josh Richardson had a career-high 26 points and Antonio Barton had 18 for the 11th-seeded Vols (24-12), who are making the most of their first tournament appearance since 2011.
"NIT two straight years, I guess that's what you'd call starting from the bottom," Stokes said. "A lot of people doubted us, and that just makes the ride much better."
The Tennessee band had plenty of chances to blare their beloved "Rocky Top" during this rout, which followed the same script as their 19-point thumping of Massachusetts two days earlier: The Voles outrebounded Mercer 41-19 to keep the Southeastern Conference perfect in the tournament.
They joined Florida and Kentucky in the regional semifinals - the first time three SEC teams made it that far since 2007.
"I've been hearing that the SEC has been a football conference for a long time but I don't know how you can still say that when you've got three SEC schools in the Sweet 16," Tennessee guard Jordan McRae said.
Tennessee will face second-seeded Michigan (27-8) in a Midwest Regional semifinal Friday night in Indianapolis.
Stokes broke his 2-day-old school tournament record for rebounds.
Langston Hall had 15 points to lead the 14th-seeded Bears (27-9). They knocked off Duke in the signature upset of the tournament but couldn't answer Tennessee's size.
"I think hopefully by the time (reality) sets in, we'll all be able to put a smile on and realize that what we've been able to do at our school, and for the city, has been phenomenal," forward Jakob Gollon said. "It's kind of hard to see right now."
Mercer trailed by double figures for the entire second half before the Bears threatened another fantastic finish.
They had the ball down 12 with about 2½ minutes left when Gollon - one of the heroes of the Duke upset two days earlier - threw the ball away in the lane, then fouled out a few seconds later.
McRae hit two free throws, and Richardson added a fast-break layup to push the Tennessee lead to 77-61 with 1½ minutes left.
McRae finished with 13 points for the Volunteers, who have won eight of nine with the only loss coming to the top-ranked Gators in the SEC tournament.

2 missing, 4 badly burned in Gulf platform fire
This aerial photograph shows damage from an explosion and fire on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, about 25 miles southeast of Grand Isle, La., Friday, Nov. 16, 2012. Four people were transported to a hospital with critical burns and two were missing. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Coast Guard was searching Friday for two workers missing after a fire erupted on an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, sending an ominous black plume of smoke into the air reminiscent of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion that transformed the oil industry and life along the coast.
The fire, begun while workers were using a torch to cut an oil line, critically injured at least four workers who had burns over much of their bodies.
The images were eerily similar to the massive oil spill that killed 11 workers and took months to bring under control. It came a day after BP agreed to plead guilty to a raft of charges in the 2010 spill and pay a record $4.5 billion in penalties.

Daniel Vasquez: Beauty and the Beast 3D iPad app for boys and girls
If you enjoyed the release of the 3D-version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast film, check out the new 3D digital book app for iPad.
Beauty and the Beast: Deluxe Storybook comes with games, movie clips, puzzles, (finger-painting) coloring pages and sing-along songs for the film. Like other Disney Publishing e-books, this one is great for helping a child learn to read and learn to love to read spoken words, word highlighting features and more. But the coolness lies in the 3D-features that are fun to play with – no glasses needed.
My 7-year-old son liked the modest three-dimensional effects enough. They may be bland to an adult, but stunning compared to first-grade paper textbooks. He just saw the 3D Beauty film with his 2-year-old sister and didn't hate the sappy romance. So he enjoyed playing with the app with her, reliving the movie theater experience. Two more Disney fans satisfied.
Whether you caught – or will – the film at the Paragon Deerfield 8 or the Cinemark Paradise 24 in Davie or anywhere else in South Florida, this app could double the fun for a young child.
Price: Reduced from $8.99 to $4.99. Visit Apple App Store.

So pretty in pink!
I love this bag so much! Its the perfect size for a nice day out or evening a cute evening dinner. I really like the soft leather and the colour is just gorgeous. Its good that the strap is adjustable too because I'm quite short (150cm) but I can still wear it comfortably at the right length. I like the compartments inside and the overall look! Definitely a fantastic buy! Recommended. Shopbop was fantastic as always with prompt postage and delivery too. Great work :)

Teacher-training here has been a life-changing experience. Masters Paalu and Wei Ling are highly knowledgeable and very nurturing, and give of themselves fully every single day of the training. Organic and holistic, every lesson is fun and insightful, and weaves and meanders accordingly to the energy of the day, yet never losing focus. I cannot imagine any other teacher-training to have such a well-rounded curriculum, or such a truly caring environment.
The teachers were very knowledgeable in all aspects of the course, theory and practical. I feel very fortunate to have studied here, made a lot of great friends and I love the location too.
I joined originally because I wanted to take a bit of time off of work and learn something intensely. I got just that, plus greater endurance, flexibility, and — what do you know — better taste. Food is yummier to me now, which makes sense for a healthy, nourished body. I also had a chance to workshop my teaching ability . Recommended for a well-rounded and intensive education for anyone who can possibly set aside this time for themselves!
In the two weeks I've been at Tirisula in the 200 hr course I was first met with the stillness & peacefulness of the place. A true feeling of dedication to the path of Yoga can truly be felt. After having lived in an ashram in India, coming to a busy city like Singapore is sometimes overwhelming and at Tirisula there is a warm feeling of coming home and one can just 'BE". Here, at Tirisula, I have learned to appreciate even more how special our physical bodies are and the importance of our Body-Mind-Soul as a functioning Whole. Our bodies are a gift and a vehicle to take us to realizing the Self and Yoga is the tool. Thank you Tirisula for giving me this wonderful experience
One more time I would like to say a big THANK YOU for your help and encouragement during the course and for the great time! The last month and a half was a time very well spent for me. I have learnt a lot. Now I have to confess I miss going to the studio….
I organize sessions with my fiends and it is a good fun, enjoyable and pretty amuzing, at least for me
Thank you once again!
Stay well and enjoy!
Warm regards,
Before beginning teacher training I spent many years wandering the globe searching for right knowledge. Tirisula Yoga taught me that what I was looking for was inside me all along. The 200 hour course opened the door to a world of philosophy and theory that changed the way I viewed myself at every level. At the end of the course I knew I had to step through that door and continue my journey in the 500 hour course, as well as Pre/post Natal and Reiki Healing. The knowledge passed to me through Master Paalu and Master Satya during those months of training continues to serve and challenge me to this day. They ignited in me a passion to never stop being a student of yoga, and instilled in me the confidence to continually share my own knowledge and experience with others. Whether in the 200 hour, 500 hour, Reiki, or Prenatal courses, their teaching is truly life changing.
Agility Flow Yoga Studio, USA-Maine
I live in Dubai and I went to Singapore in a business trip. My levels of stress having a lot going on in my professional as well as my personal life lead me to search for Reiki institutes. I went to a couple and they didn't feel right. Master Teacher Paalu gave me peace of mind, both him and Satya Chong train professionals of Yoga and Masters of Reiki and I went through daily reiki and meditation sessions for one week.
In a very magical way my life turned around and very quickly. One week later I felt this sense of balance I never want to abandon again, in a surprising way things started working out, happening…I cannot explain with words how thankful I am to both of them….forever.
Travel Services Company, Dubai
The time I spent in Singapore with Paalu and Weiling was a fundamental turning point of my life. Their Tuition, guidance and knowledge inspired me to become a more focused yogi and to share my learnings with my students. The physical practice and adjustments exposed great strengths and weaknesses within my practice physically and mentally and I learnt skills and techniques on how to work with these observances. The 200hr course at Tirisula follows a balanced structure where students walk away feeling inspired and open to all the facets and new learnings to come along their path as a teacher and student!
Rhyanna is now an international yoga teacher, owns a studio in Perth Australia and is part of the Tirisula Yoga Teacher training team.

"Taking on the 500 Hr Course has been another exhilarating experience for me. AshtangaVinyasa has taken me to another level of physical challanges; the philosophy of Yoga has further deepen into my life. Master Paalu and Master Satyahas been great by giving guidiance along the way, revealing the essence of Yoga."
