There will be a Nintendo Wii at the library Monday through Thursday of next week, June 9 through 12, and teenagers can give it a try between 2 and 4 p.m. daily. Throughout the program, there will be "Guitar Hero" competitions at 5 p.m. Tuesdays starting June 10 and "Dance Dance Revolution" competitions at 5 p.m. Thursdays starting June 12.
Monday nights are movie nights. All the movies are rated PG-13 and, like the summer reading program itself, bug-themed. The library's being a little coy about which movies it will be showing, but let's see if you can guess the film showing at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 9, based on this clue:
"A giant alien bug has found its way to Earth looking for a treasure. Thankfully, Earth has an agency looking out for it, and looking very cool in those shades, too. This movie may make you think twice about stomping on that next cockroach. You never know what their nephew might do to you!"
And finally, Wednesday, June 11, will be a craft night starting at 6 p.m.
A full listing of events at the library, 501 S. Superior St., is available online.
Chip Mundy's story on Wheels of Thunder in this week's In Town & Around mentions that Russell Mitchell from the Speed Channel's "Build or Bust" is returning, but what we didn't know until it was too late is that Mitchell will make a personal appearance at a local business.
Mitchell's personal semi-tractor and trailer complete with full media system will be on display along with several of his custom built motorcycles.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Infant vaccinations, they wouldn't treat a dog like that!
from 2, ...
It also needs to be appreciated that children in developing countries are at a much greater risk of complications from vaccinations and from mercury toxicity than children in developed countries. This is because of poor nutrition, concomitant parasitic and bacterial infections and a high incidence of low birth weight in these children.
We are now witnessing a disaster in African countries caused by the use of older live virus polio vaccines that has now produced an epidemic of vaccine-related polio. That is, polio caused by the vaccine itself. In fact, in some African countries, polio was not seen until the vaccine was introduced.
In other words, the risk is not to normal U.S. children but to children in developing countries. In fact, hepatitis B is not a risk until the teenage years and after in this country. The only at-risk group among children is with children born to drug using parents, mothers infected with hepatitis B or HIV infected parents. The reason for vaccinating the newborns is to capture them before they can escape the "vaccinologist's" vaccine program.
This is a tactic often used to scare mothers into having their children vaccinated. For example, they say that if children are not vaccinated against measles millions of children could die during a measles epidemic.
They know this is nonsense. What they are using is examples taken from developing countries with poor nutrition and immune function in which such epidemic death can occur. In the United States, we would not see this because of better nutrition, health facilities and sanitation. In fact, most deaths seen when measles outbreaks occur in the United States happen in these situations:
- Vaccination was contraindicated.
- The vaccine did not work.
- With children who have chronic, immune-suppressing diseases.
In fact, in most studies, these children catching the measles or other childhood diseases have been either fully immunized or partially immunized. The big secret among "vaccinologists" is that anywhere from 20 to 50 percent of children are not resistant to the diseases for which they have been immunized.
from 5: Dr. Meyers, on page 231, put it this way: "My own concern, and a couple of you said it, there is an association between vaccines and outcomes that worries both parents and pediatricians." He cites other possible connections to vaccine-related neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental problems including the number of vaccines being given, the types of antigens being used and other vaccine additives.
My own family Dr. when my son was born, If I recall correctly, said he had 2 of his 4 children immunized (the first 2) his last 2 only had limited immunizations: tetanus and polio.
from part 4:In addition, on page 198, Dr. Rapin notes that a study in California found a 300 percent increase in autism following the introduction of certain vaccines. She quickly attributes this to better physician recognition. Two things are critical to note at this point.
Dr. Rapin makes this assertion or better physician recognition without any data at all, just her wishful thinking. If someone pointing out the dangers of vaccines were to do that, she would scream "junk science."
Dr. Weil, on page 207, attacks this reasoning when he says, "The number of dose-related relationships are linear and statistically significant. You can play with this all you want. They are linear. They are statistically significant." In other words, how can you argue with results that show a strong dose/response relationship between the dose of mercury and neurodevelopmental outcomes? The higher the mercury levels in the children, the greater the number of neurological problems.
He continues by saying that the increase in neurobehavioral problems is probably real. He tells them that he works in a school system with special education programs and "I have to say the number of kids getting help in special education is growing nationally and state by state at a rate not seen before. So there is some kind of increase. We can argue about what it is due to." (page 207)
...At this point, Dr. Johnson tells the group about his concerns for
his own grandchild. On page 200, he says, "Forgive this personal
comment, but I got called out at 8:00 for an emergency call and
my daughter-in-law delivered a son by c-section. Our first male
in the line of the next generation and I do not want that grandson
to get a Thimerosal containing vaccine until we know better what
is going on. It will probably take a long time. In the meantime,
and I know there are probably implications for this internationally,
but in the meanwhile I think I want that grandson to only be given
Thimerosal-free vaccines."

Don't Miss the Final "Free Shirt Friday" on 8/22
I hope you've had the chance to make it out here for our Free Shirt Fridays promotion this season, but if not, you're in luck–we've got one more Free Shirt Friday coming up on Friday, August 22 when the Crew takes on the Pittsburgh Pirates:
This t-shirt not only looks great dry, but it also looks great drenched, as Carlos Gomez, Kyle Lohse and Jonathan Lucroy donned these t-shirts to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge the other day.
I can tell the shirts have been a hit this year, not only by attendance at these designated games, but also when I've been out and about and seen folks wearing these t-shirts all around the city.
From the gym and grocery store to State Fair and future Brewers games, thanks for coming out and supporting the Crew all season long and all about town!

In defeat, the boys ice hockey team at Rome Free Academy won, sort of.
The Black Knights moved up in the Division I weekly state rankings despite their 1-0 overtime loss to West Genesee last weekend. RFA is ranked No. 7 this week. Last week, RFA (11-4-1) was ranked No. 9.
West Genesee remains No. 1 in the state. The Wildcats are 15-0 going into a Friday night home game against Fulton.
Liverpool, coming off its 3-1 victory over Baldwinsville Tuesday night, makes its debut in the weekly state rankings at No. 14. The Warriors are 11-4-1.
The Syracuse Cougars dropped out of the poll. They are 0-2-1 in their last three games. Both losses came in overtime and the tie was against Liverpool.
In Division II, Skaneateles is the highest ranked team from Section III at No. 11. That's up three spots from last week. New Hartford comes in at No. 14.

Sorry for the lack of Memorial Day weekend updates ... whirlwind couple of days complete with a trip to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals (Awesome), Saturday's softball super regional (definitely not awesome, though the Wilpon Complex is fantastic) and many hours of driving (garbage).
But back to all things Michigan. The Freep tracked the man behind EuropeanProspects.com for a little extra info on new Wolverine basketball commitment Robin Benzing.
May 25, 2008, Freep: He is the prototypical John Beilein big man, able to shoot the three-pointer from distance, according to Christophe Ney, who runs the Web site Europeanprospects.com.
In an e-mail this week, Ney said Benzing also has excellent ballhandling skills and a defensive presence.
Others who have seen Benzing speculate Michigan could use him anywhere from the small forward spot to center as he grows and adds weight to his slender frame, but it probably would take the Wolverines some time.

Cleveland Browns Will Burge over at Bleacher Report says the Browns won't get back on the winning track if Brandon Weeden continues to struggle.
"The criticisms of Weeden have been the same since the day he came into the league. The experts said he lacked field vision (stared down receivers), held the ball too long and then panicked under pressure. This is a deadly combination in the NFL. The entire offseason was dedicated to offensive coordinator Norv Turner and head coach Rob Chudzinksi teaching Weeden to make quicker decisions and not hold the ball. It doesn't seem to be working. It is no coincidence that the Browns are 0-3 with Weeden as the starting quarterback. He is good enough to make plays periodically, but his old habits always resurface."
Cleveland Indians Jeff Mount at Wahoo's On First says the Indians should consider trading Michael Bourn.
"Can you pay somebody fifteen million a year and hit him ninth? In Cleveland? If you base your batting order solely on 2013 stats, you would have no alternative. While Bourn has a track record that suggests he can do better, he will be 31 next year and is almost totally reliant on his legs to provide value. Even if he fixes whatever issues caused him to perform poorly this year, the reality is that he has never been a patient hitter and will never draw enough walks to fit the mold of a prototypical leadoff hitter. He has posted an on base percentage above .350 one time in his career. Even if you expect Bourn to rebound and make a positive contribution in 2014, you would be hard pressed to be optimistic that he will be worth fifteen million in the last year or two of his contract. Instead, it is much more likely that by then his salary will be a major stumbling block to improving the team."
Cleveland Cavaliers Trevor Magnotti at Right Down Euclid says the Cavs got lazy in their loss last night against the Bobcats.
"The Cavs' ball movement was pretty terrible, as evidenced by the 25 turnovers the Cavs had, and the 13 steals for the Bobcats. Dion Waiters was the most frequent offender, but Matt Dellavedova was the most egregious. Dellavedova was very erratic with his passing, dishing 7 assists but also making some very questionable decisions with the ball in his hands throughout the game. Overall, the takeaways from this game are minimal for the Cavs. A lot of young guys played, Bennett didn't look any different than he has the rest of the preseason, and Kyrie looked like he was sleepwalking, as you might expect from your stars in games that don't matter. The Cavs battle Detroit on Thursday, and hopefully will have most of their missing guys back in order to put up more of a fight than they did tonight."Have a post that you think should be featured in our daily Blog Roundup?

By ANDY SANDRIK
Brian Ulrich says that running has been a large part of his life for as long as he can remember.
In high school at Susquenita, he spent nearly all of his free time dedicating himself to the sport.
Running was a big factor for Ulrich in his choice of Slippery Rock for college.
Even the career he has chosen, physical therapy, derives from his passion of running.
Right now, while you are reading this newspaper, Ulrich probably is out there piling on a few of his 70 miles per week.
Running is simply a challenge that Ulrich enjoys.
"I've always had the passion to see how far I can push myself," Ulrich said. "In high school, I would compare myself to other people in the district and state. Now that I'm out of the high school and college running scene, I'm just running against the clock now.
"I still want to see how fast I can go."
He keeps getting faster. Ulrich won this year's Western Carolina University half-marathon in April and is looking forward to another big half-marathon race in November, one that could qualify him for the U.S. Championships.
Ulrich's growth in the classroom is moving nearly as fast. With seven years of college already in the books, he's one year away from securing his doctorate.
The sky is the limit for Ulrich and no matter where life takes him, he says he'll always remember the lessons learned from his Perry County roots.
"You get out of things what you put into them," Ulrich said. "That's what I've always been told by my parents and grandparents. ... You're going to have bad workouts, minor injuries and sicknesses, but be patient and don't worry. If you put in the work, good things are bound to happen."
Half-marathon champ
Injuries have been a constant struggle for Ulrich throughout his running career, but it's safe to say he is healthy and running better than ever.
Ulrich won the Western Carolina University half-marathon in April, posting a time of 1:13:05 to finish nearly 12 minutes ahead of the 300-runner field. He won the WCU half-marathon last year, as well.
"It wasn't a huge race by any means, but I was definitely excited to win that. It kind of jump-started my season," Ulrich said. "I was just trying to get a solid workout with a good time."
Ulrich described the course as difficult, noting the mountains and a long uphill climb.
He took the lead early and maintained his advantage for the entire race. Ulrich didn't have anyone pushing him for the lead, so it was up to him to establish and maintain a pace.
"At that point, you're competing against yourself," Ulrich said. "It's something you learn to do in training. It's a very individual sport and all the training and years of it make it easier to do."
Ulrich's next race, the Rex Healthcare half -marathon in Raleigh, N.C., will be a much bigger event.
The half-marathon, to be held on Nov. 1, will double as the North Carolina USA Track and Field State Championship.
Last year, more than 1,100 runners participated in the event.
"I'm actually trying to qualify for the U.S. championships in the half-marathon," Ulrich said. "If I can run under 70 minutes in this race, I'll qualify for the national championships in Easton."
Fighting back
Ulrich's high school times were exceptional for Susquenita and also very good by Perry County standards.
He established, and still holds, the Blackhawks' cross country course record and also was a seven-time Perry County track champion in the long distance races, the 1,600 and 3,200.
The immediate future seemed bright for Ulrich, but injuries put a long hold on his running career.
A nagging knee injury set Ulrich back his senior year of high school and again during his sophomore year of college. It was an injury that needed surgery.
"Every time I landed, it was grinding. I battled with it for three years until I had a doctor figure out what was going on," Ulrich said. "I was told that it was pretty bad; that competitive running was out of the question."
But Ulrich slowly but surely worked his way back into the fold. He said it took him six to nine months to recover from the surgery and get back into running.
As the condition of Ulrich's knee improved, so too did his mileage and times.
"My workouts got better, my races were faster and I was doing more miles per week. It was progression in the right direction." Ulrich said. "It's definitely frustrating (to get injured), but the main thing is the mental part. It's very easy to get discouraged and not want to do it. ... I just took it week by week. It was two steps forward and one step back, but I was really sticking with it and being patient."
Competing for Slippery Rock in 2009, Ulrich finished 10th in the Atlantic Region. He missed nationals by one place, but still picked up all-region honors.
A career inspired
Ulrich's battle with injury gave him a first-hand look into the world of physical therapy. It eventually grabbed his interest.
"I just had a lot of exposure to physical therapy from the injuries I went through," Ulrich said. "I had many, many injuries and was in and out of physical therapy. It just sparked my interest in the field."
Until school begins, Ulrich will be around central Pennsylvania for a clinical rotation with Drayer Physical Therapy in Linglestown.
"School's going really well. It's exciting because I'm starting to see the end of the tunnel after seven years," Ulrich said. "I'm right in the mix of things at clinicals. I'm doing initial evaluations on patients, adjusting plans of care and acting as a PT. It's very exciting."
Ulrich has come to the realization that doctors and physical therapists come in all shapes and sizes. He experienced frustration at times throughout his own rehab process.
Focus on the patient is something Ulrich would like to excel in once his career begins.
"It's tough sometimes, doctors have so many patients and are overworked with long days. I want to take the time to view each person as themselves. Instead of looking at the big picutre and just breaking it down, my goal is giving the patients the utmost attention while they're there."
Ulrich said he won't forget the lessons learned from high school coach Rick Knepp and college coach Don Papa, which have helped propel him to this point in his life.
"It's about dedicating yourself to what you want to get and going after it. It's about not giving up on the dream and what you want.
"The big thing in running is never losing focus and staying on task and going after goals. That mindset carried into college and reinforced me through college and even now."

Broadcom MASTERS International Students Close Out Program by Sharing Stories
Broadcom MASTERS International is a companion program to the domestic Broadcom MASTERS that provides a unique opportunity to attend the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for select middle school students from around the world. Delegates participate in a program structured specifically for them, as well as participate in various facets of Intel ISEF. This year, 18 delegates from 13 countries participated in the event.
The 2013 Broadcom MASTERS International program was held in conjunction with the Intel ISEF in Phoenix, Arizona last week. Delegates had the chance to participate in a STEM (science, technology, math, and engineering) Learning Day at Arizona State University that included hands-on experiences, lunch with engineers from Broadcom Corporation, and more. In addition, students visited both the Heard Museum and the Music Instrument Museum, participated in the Student Observer Caucus at Intel ISEF (featuring additional hands-on activities such as "When Invasives Attack," science relays, and forensic science), practiced computer programming at a Raspberry Pi workshop, and had the opportunity to meet and view the exhibits of Intel ISEF finalists.
The week closed out with a Circle Ceremony, which provided an opportunity for both delegates and program leaders to share stories about their experiences during the event. Sara Zaidi, United Kingdom, said she "especially liked seeing the finalists' exhibits and meeting people from around the world, even some places I had never heard of" and that the delegates had become "such a lovely community." Saheefa Ishaq, also from the United Kingdom, talked about how she was very shy coming into the program but that it had been a confidence boost for her to meet so many people all interested in science. Michelle Lim, Singapore, echoed the other's comments about enjoying meeting so many new people from different places and added that she had met Jack Andraka, last year's Gordon E. Moore Award winner, and had the opportunity to experience some of the culture of the United States in social events, like the student mixer dance party.
Mabel Wheeler, United States, talked about what a special experience this had been for all of the delegates and that "there were challenges [during the week] for all of us, but it was good to have to learn to depend on each other and work together." She added that they had "become close despite language barriers" and that it was touching how willing people were to think about others. Anna Stewart-Yates, Australia, learned how even though both the United States and Australia speak English that there are different words in the two countries- for instance a wrench is a spanner in Australia. She also mentioned how everyone seems to really like Australians and that "even if you only get to talk to someone for five minutes, it's like they are your best friends for that time." Jacob Newkirk, Canada, said the experience was "really special because all of the kids are your same age" and that he hoped "we can be lifelong friends and business partners."
The ceremony ended with giftbags being distributed to each participant. The bags included a Nano with armband case, earbuds, and a Raspberry Pi. Paula Golden, Executive Director, Broadcom Foundation and Director, Community Affairs, Broadcom Corporation told the delegates that they had been selected to attend Broadcom MASTERS International by judges in their home county who "knew you had the qualities to get the most out of this experience." She added that it was "nice to know other people out there who look at the world like you do" and that she hoped she would see many of the delegates returning to compete in Intel ISEF in the future.

It offers both analog and digital inputs, including balanced analog XLRs, unbalanced analog RCAs, AES/EBU, two coaxial, two Toslink, USB, and a 10MHz input for Antelope's Rubidium Atomic Clock. Dual front-panel 1/4" headphone jacks, an analog volume control, and a spiffy app for PC, Mac, and mobile devices add to the fun.
Partnered with its Voltikus power supply, the Zodiac delivered music to ATC's big and beautiful SCM100 powered 3-way loudspeakers. The sound was clean, detailed, and very easy to enjoy.

Dr. Impossible was thought by some to be the brother of Scott Free, also known as Mr. Miracle, from Apokolips. Other sources said that he was merely a former henchman of the Penguin who had gotten ahold of a stolen Father Box.
He disappeared mysteriously following the disappearances of several other supervillains, including Plastique, Electrocutioner, and Trident. However, he turned up shortly thereafter, decapitating Gold and Platinum of the Metal Men, and stealing Red Tornado's android body from Will Magnus's laboratory.
Powers and Abilities
- Fatherbox: It is capable of creating a "Hush Tube", a silent equivalent to the Boom Tube
- Aero Disks: Discs that change size dependent of the users foot size and allow them to stick to surfaces and primarily to fly.

Facebook "slipped ... in'' a feature last week to allow users to give app developers access to their phone numbers and addresses, CNN Money reports.
Ensuing concerns about privacy led the company to disable the feature so it can fine-tune it.
"Over the weekend, we got some useful feedback that we could make people more clearly aware of when they are granting access to this data," CNN Money quoted Facebook's developer blog. "We agree, and we are making changes to help ensure you only share this information when you intend to do so."
Those changes will roll out "in the next few weeks," Facebook said.

The first Maryland Moonshine Festival will provide the only place to taste some of Fiore Winery's distillery products for a while.
Scheduled for noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, the northcentral Maryland producer will be offering samples of moonshine (high-proofed distilled spirits), what owner Mike Fiore called apple pie (moonshine made with apple cider) and vodka.
These products are the first evidence of an expansion at Fiore, which has had the distillery equipment for years but not the jurisdiction to use it.
Owner Mike Fiore explains on his website:
The door opened for distillery ventures in 2005, when the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation permitting distillery operations at wineries. Mike Fiore led the effort by Maryland winemakers to lobby for the law. The law limited the amount of distilled beverages that can be produced to 200 gallons, far less than the 4,000 gallons a typical craft distillery produces, but its a start and we began producing products that we feel will hold up to the same high standards our wines do.
Thanks to the The Maryland Winery Modernization Act—SB858 as of June 1, 2010 we can now distill 1,900 gallons of pomace brandy annually.
The passage of the legislation hasn't been the final hurdle for Fiore, who said on the phone Wednesday that he's in the often cumbersome process of applying for the labels. As those in the industry know, that is one more complication in the process of making wine and spirits. Fiore isn't sure when he'll receive those labels to apply to the bottles so he can sell them.
But, the law does permit him to pour samples, and he'll take advantage of it Saturday at an event that also will provide attendees with a commemorative glass, wine tastings, and music by the Tuckahoe Ridge Band. Crafts and food will be available for purchase, and attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets to use for the concert. Admission is $15/person.
Fiore said his son Eric came up with the idea for the festival as a way to promote the spirits end of one of Maryland's oldest and accomplished wine producers. It also makes Limoncello and two types of grappa.
Meanwhile, he has released two excellent well-aged reds, a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2010 Chambourcin. Both originated during excellent red vintages in the mid-Atlantic and possess lovely flavors and color. Fiore, like many wineries, won't release a vintage until it's sold out of the previous one, hence, the '07 finally being put on the shelves now that the '06 is gone. That '07 Cab is ready to drink now or has enough structure to be put in the cellar for another few years. Some have said that Cabernet Sauvignon isn't well-suited to this region; this particular vintage from Fiore would offer the perfect counter to that argument.
Finally, Fiore said Wednesday that he's finished making his signature Caronte after his '07 vintage sells out. But he's not done making that blend. Produced only in years of quality vintages, Fiore said his blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese will be simply called Super Tuscan moving forward. "It seems to me that I get more requests for Super Tuscan," he said. "That's what Caronte is, but calling it Caronte, you actually lose customers. They know what a Super Tuscan is but don't know what Caronte is."
Fiore is high on the 2013 vintage; indeed, he hints it might be the best one since before 2000, particularly for his reds. So his first Super Tuscan will be from the 2013 vintage, likely with a little more Merlot in the blend than there has been in the past.Follow @pierrecarafe

Student announces find will be named after retired curator
PARRSBORO - Ken Adams received one more special presentation this week, one that dates back more than 300 million years.
The retired Fundy Geological Museum curator was presented with a framed replica of a prehistoric track way by university student Tyler Shaw, who is publishing a paper on the discovery.

Retired Fundy Geological Museum curator Ken Adams accepts a framed replica of a prehistoric track way discovered at nearby East Bay, from university student Tyler Shaw, who is publishing a paper that will see the discovery named after Adams.
Shaw made the presentation to Adams at the museum on Jan. 8 on behalf of the museum and the many independent researchers that have received assistance from Adams over the years.
"You've done so much for all of us geologists and paleontologists in Nova Scotia, even us transient ones, that we thought we had to do something for you," Shaw told Adams during the presentation. "This track way needed a name, so…"
The track way will be named after Adams in a paper that has yet to be published, therefore the actual name cannot yet be announced to the public, explained Shaw, a masters student at the University of Alberta. That is why the presentation could not be made at the anniversary/retirement celebration at the museum last month.
The tracks are of a small prehistoric reptile or amphibian, and were discovered on the west side of East Bay. Adams said he first noticed it about three years ago during a family tour of the area, and his daughter Sarah took the first known photographs of it.
Shaw has been observing it for several years, and last summer created the replica of it.
"It's high enough on the cliff, you really have to know where it is," said Adams. "I don't know how he managed to see it."
Also working on the paper is Dr. John Calder of the Nova Scotia department of natural resources, who Shaw credited with helping him name it after Adams.
The framed replica represented just a small section of the full track way, according to the student.
"We were going to do a bigger track way, a full three-and-a-half-foot one, but figured (Adams' wife) Etta wouldn't let that in the house," joked Shaw.
Adams reacted emotionally to the presentation, describing it as a tremendous honour.
"Having spent so much time looking and studying, when you look back at the people's names that appear on these, they are some pretty outstanding researchers and paleontologists," he said. "To have the opportunity to be included in that… took me a second to believe."

"DNA/RNA base radicals produced by ionizing radiation, UV radiation, OH• and chemical attack have been identified by electron spin resonance (ESR) and pulse radiolysis experiments. The electronic nature of these radicals (σ- or π- type) determines the mechanisms of the development of further DNA damage…. in this present work, we employ density functional theory to calculate the relative stabilities of σ- and π-radicals of one-electron-oxidized DNA bases and their N−H deprotonated neutral radicals and show that for pyrimidine DNA bases the σ- and π- radicals are close in energy and there are conditions for which the σ-radicals become more stable than π-radicals."
"The scientific interest in obtaining a deeper understanding of radiation damage is motivated by the development of ion-beam cancer therapy and other application of ions interacting with biological targets. A number of important scientific questions, especially related to DNA damage assessment on the molecular level, have not yet been resolved. Therefore, recently this field has attracted much attention from the scientific community… Among these studies is the multiscale approach to the assessment of radiation damage induced by irradiation with ions. It is aimed at a phenomenon-based quantitative understanding of the scenario from the incidence of an energetic ion on tissue to the cell death. This method combines many spatial, temporal, and energy scales, and is therefore a truly multiscale approach."

When National Instruments announced the availability of a LabView preview program for Mac OS X at Macworld last month, it got an overwhelming response from academics and engineers. "Frankly, it was double what we expected," says Kris Fuller, LabVIEW Product Manager.
"I think the most compelling feature of OS X is Unix underneath. A lot of engineers are really excited about having an easy front end." That's not surprising, given that UNIX is the operating system of choice for engineers on workstations. On the Mac for 15 years, this newest version of the software runs on all systems with Jaguar. LabView, which allows engineers to create applications for data acquisition, analysis, and presentation, is in use today by 24,000 companies. That number may be about to go way up.

In a note to Gov. Deval Patrick and other state leaders, Kennedy wrote "it is vital for this commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate during the approximately five months between a vacancy and an election."
Health care has been Kennedy's signature issue. Although Democrats hold a potentially filibuster-proof margin in the Senate, the fate of a sweeping health care bill could hinge on a single vote and some moderate Democrats have been wavering. Another Democrat, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, has been seriously ill and often absent.
Kennedy's letter acknowledges the state changed its succession law in 2004 to require a special election within five months to fill any vacancy. At the time, legislative Democrats -- with a wide majority in both chambers -- were concerned because then-Republican Gov. Mitt Romney had the power to directly fill any vacancy created as Democratic Sen. John Kerry ran for president.
The letter was sent Tuesday, but Kennedy aides insist there is no material change in his condition since he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in May 2008. Kennedy was initially treated with surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
"For almost 47 years, I have had the privilege of representing the people of Massachusetts in the United States Senate, Kennedy wrote in his letter. He added that serving in the Senate "has been -- and still is -- the greatest honor of my public life."
The 77-year-old has been convalescing at his homes in Washington and in Hyannis Port, as well as a rental property in Florida, but his absence from last week's funeral on Cape Cod for his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, prompted a flurry of questions about his own health.

A 17-year-old man died after he was shot Friday night in the 7th Ward and transported to the LSU Trauma Center in critical condition.
Eric Remee died at 7:18 p.m. at the hospital, said
John Gagliano, chief investigator for the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office.
A 14-year-old boy was shot as well; he was hit in the leg and transported in stable condition to a hospital.
The shooting was reported about 6:38 p.m. at Allen Street and North Rocheblave Avenue., police said. Detectives responding to the report of "two males shot" found Remee lying on the front yard of a home with multiple gunshot wounds.
"I thought it was a firecracker," said a woman as she poured bleach on a puddle of blood spread on a concrete path in her front yard. "When I came outside I saw him lying there. Yea, I was upset."
Remee and the 14-year-old were walking in the area, police said, when a 4-door gold vehicle approached and one or more occupants fired, striking the teens.
Police late Friday night located a vehicle at St. Roch Avenue and Law Street and were trying to determine if it was used in the crime.
Investigators so far have no motive for the shooting, officer Garry Flot said.
Homicide Detective Richard Chambers is in charge of the investigation.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 1.877.903.7867. Callers do not have to give their names or testify and can earn as much as $2,500 for tips that lead to an indictment.

Reflecting on amazing feats of endurance reveals incredible athletes that generally fly under the radar, we would like to congratulate Diana on an outstanding effort even to get this point.
Here are a few more endurance world records that leave you wondering how much preparation and effort must go into training for these long events:
Ultramarathon - in 1977, Al Arnold became the first runner to finish the Badwater Marathon which crosses Death Valley in California and ends with a climb up Mt. Whitney. Temperatures can climb up to 120 degrees during the day during this 135 mile race.
Tennis - At Wimbledon in 2010, Nicholas Mahut and John Isner faced off for 11 hours and 5 minutes, lasting over four hours longer than the previous record.
Cycling - Andy Wilkinson set the world record for longest bike ride in 24 hours. He covered 541 miles in 2011. Most people do not even like to drive that far in 1 day.
Sailing - Frenchman Francis Joyon sailed around the world in just 57 days - alone.

Adrenaline keeps me going during stress then I crash and fall apart. Are you on the road every day or do you go to a city and stay in one hotel? Are you exercising, eating enough fat, getting enough sleep? Could be you're wearing yourself down then making up for it by binging.

Extreme contrition is a tradition for Japanese politicians caught in scandal and business leaders whose companies perform poorly.
But in display rarely seen in this country, Toyota Corp. President Akio Toyoda turned a speech Thursday at the National Press Club into one long apology for Toyota's financial losses, defective floor mats and other problems at the once high-flying automaker.
Toyota failed to anticipate the global economic meltdown and now is just a step away from "capitulation to irrelevance or death," Toyoda said, according to a story in the New York Times.
The world's largest automaker expects to lose a record $5 billion for its fiscal year ending in March, its second consecutive annual loss.
And Toyota is telling owners of 3.8 million of its vehicles to remove potentially dangerous driver's side floor mats. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has said the floor mats could bunch up under the accelerator pedals, causing the vehicles to go out of control.
The problem may have caused a crash near San Diego in August that killed four people.
"I can't begin to express my remorse," said Toyoda, who is the grandson of the company's founder.
Toyoda also said he wants Toyota to become profitable so the company can start paying taxes again.
That's not something you're likely to hear from an American business leader.

(Heb. peninim), only in plural (Lam. 4:7). The ruby was one of the stones in the high priest's breastplate (Ex. 28:17). A comparison is made between the value of wisdom and rubies (Job 28:18; Prov. 3:15; 8:11). The price of a virtuous woman is said to be "far above rubies" (Prov. 31:10). The exact meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain. Some render it "red coral;" others, "pearl" or "mother-of-pearl."

WARE – Town Meeting members Monday will decide if the town should borrow more than half a million dollars for a bevy of purchases including a $175,000 new street sweeper and $65,000 worth of computer upgrades.
The Town Meeting at Ware High School starts at 6:30 p.m.
Other borrowing requests include $111,000 to improve the Town Hall heating system, fix the slate roof and replace windows; $50,000 for a new wood chipper; $40,000 each for upgrades at the municipal sewer plant and to purchase a four-wheel drive police vehicle, and $20,000 each for windows at the police station and a new telephone system at Town Hall.
There is a controversial article to restore the zeroed out salaries for selectmen.
The article, which would also restore the pay for the Planning Board and the pay cuts absorbed by Town Hall employees, asks to use $53,000 from the town's free cash reserve to fund the measure.
Town Manager Stuart Beckley is recommending Town Meeting reject the article. The Finance Committee unanimously voted to reject the article as well. Selectmen voted 4 – 1 to recommend approval, with board member Richard Norton dissenting.
Voters will be asked to spend from free cash the following sums:
• $25,000 to remove debris at West Main St. from a house fire
• $14,000 to replace toilets in the police station holding cells
Also, an article seeks $14,000 "for the purchase of personnel consulting services to perform departmental operational reviews of the police, fire, public works and administrative departments," the town meeting warrant states. Norton, selectman Nancy Talbot and Finance Committee Chairman Dennis R. Ouimette are opposed to the article.
At their Nov. 1 meeting, Ouimette called the proposal to review the fire and police departments "a witch hunt."
The School Department is seeking $638,436 for a nurse position, out of district tuition, staffing and special education. The town manager and Finance Committee have recommended against the measure.

Former New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul emerged in Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game by controlling the pace of the game, setting up his teammates with dazzling passes and scoring when it was necessary, especially down the stretch. It led to Paul winning his first All-Star MVP award after helping the West to a 143-138 victory Sunday night at the Toyota Center. Paul scored 20 points and had 15 assists.
He is the first player to score 20 points and have 15 assists in an All-Star Game since former Lakers star Magic Johnson did it in 1985.Houston Chronicle

Within hours of the first reports about the missing women being found alive in Cleveland, even as police had barely begun an investigation, Hollywood producers already were beginning the process of making a movie about the ordeal.
While we don't know for certain that a film will ever be made of the dramatic story riveting the nation's attention since Monday, the wheels appear to be in motion now to create such a film, probably for a cable channel.
Fevered Tinseltown discussions on this topic probably started within minutes of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight being found alive after a decade of captivity.
"I'd say the chances are about 100 percent that those calls were being made Monday night," said author and TV historian Robert J. Thompson, communications professor at Syracuse University.
"You can pretty much imagine salivating producers telling assistants, 'Get there first and nail this down.' Hollywood is a very predictable town, and that's the part of this process that's the most predictable."
Indeed, a Plain Dealer reporter was contacted Tuesday morning by a Sony Pictures Television senior vice president interested in the story.
Hollywood producers weren't the only ones racing to gain an advantage. A literary manager reached out by email to another Plain Dealer reporter, hoping to contact Knight or her family because there was interest from a New York publisher.
And this is just the first round of emails and calls.
"The early stages of this story are pretty dramatic, so I'm hardly surprised there's already interest being expressed," said Hawken School graduate Todd Lieberman, a producer on the 2010 biographical sports film "The Fighter" and the 2010-11 ABC police drama "Detroit 1-8-7."
"And I can't say I'm surprised that they're moving this quickly. The competition would be pretty intense for a story attracting this much news coverage and a story this compelling."
What it takes to tell the story on-screen isn't much. No script or book is needed to copyright first. Nothing prevents multiple studios from working simultaneously on the same subject. But if a studio wants to call its version "authorized," it needs to get that approval -- usually for a price -- from the subject or subjects.
Still, none of this means a movie actually will be made.
"If it was 20 years ago, a movie would be a foregone conclusion," said David Bianculli, the TV historian and author who operates the website tvworthwatching.com. "We'd already be talking about casting choices. They would have been in production on more than one movie for the November sweeps period."
CNN was up and running in the early 1990s, but that was an era when major broadcast networks still dominated the television landscape.
"The networks were pouncing on every headline-making crime, from the Menendez brothers to Amy Fisher," Bianculli said. "Remember, there wasn't one but three Amy Fisher movies -- two of them airing the same night. But the networks are no longer in the movie and miniseries business, so there's much less demand for this type of film."
Prerequisites needed to make a movie
Television interest in such cases follows a three-act process, Thompson says, with Act 1 being intense, round-the-clock coverage.
"That's where we are now, with every national news operation getting those trucks with satellite dishes to Cleveland -- everybody doing stand-up reports from the same street," Thompson said.
"Act 2, which follows very closely, is the longer, more restrained reports on the network newsmagazines like '60 Minutes,' '20/20' and '48 Hours.' "
We quickly moved into that phase, too. ABC's "Nightline" dedicated Tuesday's edition to what was billed as "Breaking Free: The Escape in Cleveland." NBC's "Rock Center With Brian Williams" decided to make the story the center of Friday's installment.
"Then Act 3 was the TV movie," Thompson said. "A little half-step was added by shows like 'Law & Order' and 'CSI' that could move quickly and air a ripped-from-the-headlines episode inspired by the case. Look for one of those this fall. And I'd say there probably will end up being a movie, but it's not a sure thing."
CBS aired "The Elizabeth Smart Story" in November 2003. It premiered eight months after Smart was found alive. Abducted from her Salt Lake City bedroom, she had spent nine months in captivity.
But by fall 2006, none of the networks had a movie night.
Lack of interest from the major broadcast networks isn't the only factor dampening enthusiasm in fact-based movies.
"It used to be that the news coverage would lead to fairly well-researched books on these cases, and that would all build up equity in the story," Thompson said. "That's changed with the rise of the 24-hour news cycles and the intensity of the coverage. The first two steps now cover the story at such a high level, it exhausts interest in the story and squanders the equity. The movie almost becomes redundant."
Constant coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial, for instance, may have burned out enthusiasm for movies about the case.
Cable channels likely to produce
But cable channels remain intrigued by such stories. Lifetime and director Jace Alexander began production on a movie about Jodi Arias well before Wednesday's headlines about an Arizona jury finding her guilty of first-degree murder.
HBO recently aired "Phil Spector," a movie about the record producer's murder trial.
"Legally, you probably don't need anybody's rights to make a movie," said Lieberman, who grew up in Lyndhurst and Pepper Pike. "It's a public event being widely reported. But under the best of circumstances, you'd want cooperation from people involved so you can tell the story properly. It's always helpful to have the rights, because then you have a basis for consultation, validity and insight."
That was necessary when producing "The Fighter," which starred Mark Wahlberg as boxer Mickey Ward and Christian Bale as his older half brother, Dicky.
"To turn something into a two-hour movie with fully fleshed-out characters, it's desirable to have the cooperation and guidance of the actual people," Lieberman said. "With 'The Fighter,' we had the rights from almost all of the family members, as well as their cooperation. That made our ability to craft the characters a more tangible process."
Would such cooperation be necessary for a movie about the 10-year nightmare endured by Berry, DeJesus and Knight?
"It depends on the type of movie someone wants to make," Lieberman said. "It needs to be stressed that this is a developing story, and we're still looking for so many answers, and until you have those answers, it's difficult to say what kind of movie someone would make of this.
"You could do just a story about whatever trial there is, basing everything on the reporting and the public record. There have been plenty of those. But as we learn more about this case, there could be the opportunity to do something far more profound than that."
Thompson likes that possibility. When done with taste and care, such movies can be as enlightening as they are moving. He points to the 1989 miniseries "I Know My First Name Is Steven," the acclaimed drama based on the abduction of 7-year-old Steven Stayner, held in captivity until he was 14.
"When done right, the novelistic intent in these stories is very sound and valuable," Thompson said. "The stories are fascinating. Who wouldn't be intrigued by such a rich story? But the approach taken by the novelist or the playwright or the screenwriter can bring a perspective you'll never find in the journalism. They're not often done right, but when they are, they dig deep and probe the big questions about the best and worst of us as human beings."

It's never easy to predict when a player is going to hang the laces up. There are guys still kicking around the league that probably should have retired a few years ago, and then there are retired players who could step on the court right now and still hack it.
From the team perspective, it's just as hard to identify when loyalty will win out over business savvy. Money is a good indicator, but some teams are more willing to reward past performance than others are.
Whether it's a lucrative contract, a successful career or a lengthy tenure with one team, all good things eventually must come to an end. The following players should be ready to start a new era with a different team, or close the book on their careers completely after this season.

The two Republicans hoping to represent House District 10 in the Iowa Legislature both believe the state government must play a role in enforcing immigration laws.
Maison Bleam, of Twin Lakes, and state Rep. Tom Shaw, of Laurens, also agree that a computer program called E-Verfiy should be used to determine if people are legally able to work in the United States.
Bleam is making his political debut. Shaw is seeking his second term.
House District 10, created in last year's reapportionment, includes Calhoun, Humboldt and Pocahontas counties plus western Webster County.
There are no Democratic candidates in that district.
In the last of series of articles on state issues, Bleam and Shaw offer their thoughts on immigration.
Maison Bleam
''I support immigration enforcement to restore the rule of law,'' he said. ''I believe the states play a critical role in assisting with federal immigration enforcement, and believe the states are justified in taking action if the federal government fails in fulfilling its obligations to the American people.''
''It is preposterous to take the position that, short of federal action, governors and mayors are powerless to deal with illegal immigrants within their states and cities,'' he added. ''After all, no matter how noble their intentions, these persons have committed a crime by coming to the U.S. illegally. I do not support or embrace the argument that state and local governments must leave all aspects of immigration enforcement entirely to the federal government.''
He said he is in favor of passing a law requiring people to show their identification before voting.
Bleam added that Iowa should consider passing its own immigration laws if the federal government doesn't take action.
Tom Shaw
''I believe we need to get a handle on illegal immigration,'' Shaw said. ''Since the federal government doesn't want to do its job, it's up to the states to protect themselves.''
During the past legislative session, he co-sponsored a bill which would have required Iowa employers to use a computer program called E-Verify to check if potential employees are eligible to work in the United States. He said employers would have to enter the potential worker's name and Social Security number into the program, and they would then quickly learn if that person could legally work in the United States. The bill died in a House committee.
Shaw said he will reintroduce that bill next year if he's re-elected.
He added that he also wants to find ways of pressuring the federal government to streamline the process of legal immigration.
''I'm all for legal immigration,'' Shaw said. ''Legal immigration is what made this country great.''

Special to The Republican
AMHERST — An Amherst Yahoo group that as recently as a month ago had 11,500 members who used a "freecycle" message board to give away and receive used items for free has severed ties with its national counterpart and started a new, independent Yahoo group.
The split with Arizona-based The Freecycle Network comes a year after a Northampton Yahoo group had a similar dispute in which the national nonprofit attempted to move Northampton away from its Yahoo group format in favor of its own email and message board system.
Until a few weeks ago, the Amherst chapter was one of about 5,100 groups throughout the country under the larger Freecycle tent. The national organization was founded a decade ago by recycling activist Deron Beal and now boasts more than 9 million members nationwide.
The Amherst group branched out on its own in early August, spurred in part by Freecycle's "takeover" of its Yahoo site and at the behest of a majority of its members who wanted to remain independent, said Jennifer Page, a volunteer co-moderator.
"We firmly believe that this group belongs to the members, and they should be the ones to decide what happens to the group," Page said.
Faced with a similar decision last year, the Northampton group disavowed its affiliation with The Freecycle Network. Moderator Larry Kuttner said his members were worried that consolidating power under The Freecycle Network would give Freecycle Network the ability to collect private information, distribute advertising and take over their groups at any time — something the national organization denied.
How it works
In the Freecycle system, people join Yahoo community groups and communicate online when they want to give or receive used items for free. In addition to Northampton and Amherst, local Freecycle groups are located in Greenfield, Deerfield, Plainfield and the Hilltowns, Holyoke and Springfield.
Unlike Northampton, the Amherst group did not have the power to stop Freecycle from taking over its site because neither Page or the group's other moderator had "ownership" privileges. Yahoo Groups have a three-tiered system of membership, starting with members at the lowest level, followed by moderators and owners. Only owners can promote others to owner status and delete a group.
The original owner of the Freecycle Amherst group, established in 2004, is no longer involved but this summer she was still listed as its "owner" along with the national organization, Page said.
This ownership status was not an issue until Freecycle reached out this year in an effort to move the group to its system, something a majority of the group's members said in a recent survey said they did not want to happen.
Because the group did not have a designated "owner," Freecycle designated itself as owner and notified members that it would move the group to its site on Aug. 4, though Page said they did unsuccessfully attempt to contact the initial owner.
"We moderators did not have the ability to block this action, as the Northampton group was able to do since they had an active group owner," Page said. "That was the point at which the 'takeover' began."
That did not happen in Northampton's case because Kuttner has ownership powers, though the national organization did start its own Northampton freecycle chapter.
Given the survey results in which 75 percent of members said they wanted to participate in a local and independent Yahoo group, the moderators created a new Yahoo group, of which Page is now the group owner.
That means there are now two "freecycle"-style groups for the Amherst area — the new group on freecycle.org, and an independent, locally-run Yahoo Group called Amherst Freecyclers at groups.yahoo.com/group/amherstfreecyclers/.
The Amherst Freecyclers group has 210 members, and is fairly active, though not as active as the old freecycle Amherst group was before the "takeover." The Amherst group on freecycle.org lists 3,400 members, according to its website.
"I've been letting people know that they are welcome to sign up for either or both groups," Page said. "My wish is that people keep freecycling, however it works best for them."
Volunteer leaders of local groups in other communities are facing similar struggles. In Brookfield, for example, the national Freecycle group tooks steps to remove its leader and move that community's forum on Yahoo to its site. In response, the Brookfield Freecycle Group has followed Northampton's lead and also severed ties with the national group, opting instead to keep its local group running.

MOBILE, Alabama – The fabled March Madness that is sweeping the nation just got a little madder.
The Alabama Seafood Marketing Commission has kicked off a unique, fun way to tap in to the nation's national basketball frenzy and also raises awareness of the bounty of seafood available in Alabama waters. The contest is called The Final Four of Fish and it lets you vote on your favorite denizen of the deep in a contest that tracks with the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament that concludes on April 7.
It's pretty simple to play along. Just visit the seafood commission's Facebook page where you will find images of 23 of some of the best known sport fish found in Alabama's coastal waters. It's a list put together by the seafood commission and while it's not all the fish found locally, it is a pretty fair cross section of what is found.
It includes such popular deep water game fish as red snapper, grouper and cobia, as well as some sought after inshore species such as croaker, flounder and sheephead.
Voters will have until midnight Wednesday (March 26) to vote in the preliminary round; only one vote per person per round.
The votes will be tabulated and the top four vote getters – the Final Four of Fish – will be announced on Monday, March 31 when the voting will be re-opened. The first round of the finals will pit No. 1 against No. 4 voting will remain open until Wednesday, March 2 when the No. 2 fish will square off against the No. 3 vote getter.
The final will commence on Friday, April 4 and championship voting will continue through the weekend. The winner will be announced on Monday, April 7. It just so happens that is the same day as the final of the NCAA men's tournament.
There is no prize money, no trophies and nobody will get to cut down any fishing nets. It's all for fun and to raise awareness of seafood and the upper Gulf Coast.
You can follow all of the action at the commission's Facebook page or on Twitter by using the #FishFinalFour hash tag.

Like many of the finer things in life, Bon Appétit only gets better with age. In Cooking From The Archives, we revisit recipes from the magazine's past
1999, Y2K, The Millennium – Some of us remember this as a time spent singing along to "No Scrubs" while dressed in leopard-print pants. Others of us, such as Bon Appétit, took this milestone year as an opportunity to look back on "The American Century In Food," devoting the September 1999 issue to an in-depth survey of dining trends of decades past. The feature begins in 1900 ("Oysters and Champagne For A New World Power") and goes from there, reminiscing over "War and Peas" (1940s) and "Sideburns, Szechuan, and 'Me'" (1970s).
"In the nineties, Americans discovered the personal computer and spent time surfing the Web, doing everything from trading stocks and trading recipes to planning vacations and planning dinner parties."
Though this survey of the 20th century is educational (Peter Pan Peanut Butter debuted in 1928?!), it was the issue's reflection on the final decade—the 1990s, or as the magazine refers to it, "eating&drinking.com"—that stopped me in my page-flipping tracks. From the Internet Explorer window to the braised short ribs with red wine gravy, this page said it all. "For some people," Tricia Callas wrote in the intro, "the biggest food news of the decade involved the Internet. Cooks used it to shop for groceries, order takeout, find recipes, get product information, plan a kitchen—and chat with other cooks from coast to coast. But the computer has not been able to do the cooking, at least not yet….But who knows what the twenty-first century will bring?" In an effort to make this as meta as possible, I decided to tackle one of iconic foods of the 90s, as chosen by Bon Appétit 1999.
"Like most Americans, the characters on 'Seinfeld,' the decade's top-rated sitcom, liked to hang out together while indulging in some of their favorite foods, such as burgers, fries, and pie."
This was a difficult choice. Kir Vodka Martinis? (Delicious.) Smoked Salmon Tartare with Ginger and Sesame? (Viva Asian Fusion!) Grilled Chicken Salad with Greens and Balsamic Dressing? (Wait, I think I still eat this?) Grilled Sea Bass with Tropical Salsa? (This I'm confident is in my mom's repertoire.)
In the end, the choice was obvious: Molten Chocolate Cakes, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's gift to humankind, a dessert that gave legions of diners in fancy restaurants the world over the confidence to indulge in what is essentially raw batter. There is only one way to screw up this recipe, and that is to cook it too long, at which point, it's just a chocolate cake. Otherwise, the method—melted chocolate and butter folded into whipped eggs and egg yolks, then divided among ramekins—is pretty much foolproof, not to mention delicious (obviously).
"Caffeine dreams: In the nineties, Starbucks and other upscale coffeehouses started opening as adjuncts to bookstores; by the end of 1996, there were about 5,600 coffeehouses across the country, up from fewer than 500 in 1991."
As such, the moral of this cooking experiment is clear: Balsamic vinegar, "Tropical Salsa," and eating raspberries in September may be vestiges of the past, but the best of the '90s—watching "Seinfeld," casually meeting friends for coffee while wearing clogs, and indulging in molten chocolate cake—deserves to live on for many decades to come. For the Molten Chocolate Cakes recipe, take a gander over to epicurious.com.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
"Molten chocolate cake is just uncooked chocolate cake. So that you're not just eating raw batter, place a truffle in the center. Then you can bake the cake all the way through, and as it bakes, the cold ganache liquifies in the center, and then you have a super-luscious interior. If you're making your own truffles (and why not?), that also gives you the opportunity to flavor the ganache with honey or booze or gold flecks or diamonds, for super-special occasions."—Dawn Perry, Senior Food Editor

text: FedEx delivered my SBH (it was "spitting" really bad") to Ruger on 10/5. On 10/8 I received a postcard from Ruger confirming receipt and a couple of hours later the FedEx driver is at the door with the SBH. Ruger repaired the barrel, pawl, and ejector (& didn't charge anything). This is a 1985 SBH that I picked up used a couple of years ago. Had it out to the range today and it was great not being peppered with bits of lead. I must say this is quite an improvement over Ruger taking three months to repair my 10/22M a couple of years ago (they sent me a Ruger cap for taking so long).
