PITTSBURGH, April 3, 2012 – Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have developed a mouse model that will allow scientists to study radiation-induced genetic changes and cellular defense mechanisms against radiation exposure at the same time. The findings will be presented today at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012 in Chicago.
"Often side effects from radiation exposure occur right away, but some take anywhere from six months to two years to manifest. Delayed side effects are caused either by genetic changes from radiation exposure or a breakdown in the body's cellular defense mechanisms," said Joel Greenberger, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Pitt. "In the past, we haven't been able to study both causes at the same time. This new mouse model allows us to do that."
Dr. Greenberger's team created the model by engineering mice in which activity of the enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) can be turned on if they are fed or injected with the antibiotic doxycycline. In healthy animals, radiation exposure leads to greater production of toxic free radicals such as superoxides, and in turn MnSOD levels rise to neutralize them. In the engineered mice that do not receive doxycycline, there is no MnSOD activity, and they survive only a few days.
Controlling activation of this enzyme will allow researchers to study the link between two categories of biochemical changes – acute changes caused by immediate radiation exposure and latent reaction that occurs months later. Researchers will be able to examine the antioxidant defense system and better understand molecular events that occur during asymptomatic periods.
This study was sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, an arm of the National Institutes of Health.

I posted this question elsewhere but since no one's bitten, thought I'd make it its own thread ...
It's been talked about at length how out of all the DT's in this draft that Sheldon Richardson is the one guy who could really be the ideal fit for the Hawks at the 3 Technique -- that pro-typical Bill Walsh DT that could really help turn this Seahawks Defensive Line in to something to be reckoned with.
So regarding Richardson, I've been thinking about this question of him vs. the idea of standing pat and hoping for Kawann Short to fall to us at #25 quite a bit. In looking at NFL Draft Scout's mock drafts, Rang currently has Richardson going at #20 to the Bears while Brugler has him going #12 to the Dolphins. I would say that #15 range or so is about right for Richardson to go in.
So given all that, here's my question -- let's say hypothetically on draft day that Richardson does slip down to #15 and New Orleans is on the clock. If you're Schneider, do you trade up at that point to get Richardson?
If you trade up from #25 though ... it's likely going to cost the Hawks that #56 Pick in the 2nd Round and they would most likely say goodbye to a player like a Khaseem Greene (for example).
So would it be worth it? In that scenario, would you trade up to nab a Richardson if he falls to down in that #15 Range ... OR do you stand pat and hope for Kawann Short?
Personally, I believe that Schneider will most likely let the first 3-4 rounds of the draft come to him ... but then possibly use those later round picks (specifically the 5th and 6th Round Picks) to perhaps trade back in to the 4th Round if there is a real value player that falls down there. Given that a lot of players from this draft won't make this team anyway, I could certainly see that.
So again, hypothetically if Sheldon Richardson for some reason gets down in that #15 Range ... do you trade up to get him ... OR do you stand pat and simply hope for Kawann Short or to take the best player available at #25? Thoughts?

Press release 223/2013
21 October 2013
On 18 October 2013, EU and Canada reached a political agreement on concluding an ambitious free trade agreement. Negotiations on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU, its Members States and Canada have continued since their launch in 2009. Honing of the agreement details will continue before it can be given final approval.
The agreement will foster economic growth and employment on both sides of the Atlantic. It is expected to increase two-way bilateral trade in goods and services by 23% or EUR 26 billion and boost the EU gross national product by approximately EUR 12 billion a year. The economic impacts of the agreement will become clearer once the final text of the agreement has been formulated.
"This solution demonstrates the EU's ability to negotiate. The agreement may also have a positive impact on the negotiations conducted between the EU and the United States," says Minister for European Affairs and Foreign Trade Alexander Stubb.
The agreement is expected to significantly lower the level of tariffs in bilateral trade between the contracting parties and create new market access opportunities in services and investment. In public procurement market, Canada will open access to European companies to engage in tenders at a regional level to a larger extent than it has done with any other agreement partner.
Finnish exports to Canada amounted to approximately EUR 596 million in 2012, representing one per cent of our overall exports. Finnish exports to Canada consist of, for example, oil products, machinery, equipment and motor vehicles. The value of goods imported from Canada to Finland, on the other hand, totalled EUR 346 million, which is 0.6 per cent of our overall imports. The imported products include ore, coal, motor vehicles, and aircraft.
In the future, negotiations will continue on the closer details of the agreement. Once these technical discussions are over, the parties will initialise the agreement. Decisions on signing the agreement and concluding it will become topical at a later date, and they will be made on the basis of the Commission proposals. In addition to the approval of all EU Member States, the agreement requires also the approval of the European Parliament.
Additional information: Lauri Tierala, Special Adviser to the Minister, tel. +358 295 351 778; Jukka Pesola, Head of Trade Policy Unit; and Mary-Anne Nojonen, Commercial Counsellor, tel. +358 295 351 494

Kids, Holidays, Celebrations, and Service!
This week I went to Atlanta to speak at Kennesaw University about balancing your life through service and giving back. I must say that I love this topic and had a really enjoyable time speaking to the university students. What was really great though, the university had such a diverse student body. There were 50 year old freshmen, married couples, ex military, and your average aged college student, all mixed together. But this blog is not really on speaking topic, or the audience, but about one question that was asked of me: "How do you engage your children in service work?" Furthermore, "How do you help children understand that there are other children and adults in the world that are not as blessed as they are?" These two questions were a dream come true, because as a mother of 3 small children I am always asking myself the same question and trying to encompass what I know into their lives. I want my children to understand that they MUST lead a life of service, whatever shape or form that it takes for their own individual lives. In this blog, I will share some of my ideas, especially ones that fall around the holidays and birthdays.
A True Journey: The Ambassadors Graduate!
Hi all!
After my last blog, I said I would next blog on urban gardening, but instead I feel the need to share details of a recent memorable evening.
A little less than two weeks ago, we hosted our inaugural Journey for Change: Empowering Youth Through Global Service graduation celebration. As our amazing Journey for Change Ambassadors completed a year of service, advocacy, and educational activities, the entire Angelrock Project team wanted to make sure they were able to celebrate this accomplishment with their families and know how proud we were of each and every participant. It was also an opportunity to invite them to become a part of The Journey for Change Alumni club.
Books and The Wild, Wild West!
Hi everyone,
It is been some time since I last blogged, but it has been a remarkable and busy last couple of weeks. So this blog will cover what I have been up to unlike my other blogs which are based on one topic.
First of all, I was ecstatic to debut the cover of my upcoming book, If It Takes a Village, Build One on The Angelrock Project homepage. The publishers at Broadway Books did a beautiful job creating the image and I'm so proud to be surrounded by some of my Journey for Change: Empowering Youth Through Global Service Ambassadors. All of the Ambassadors will be featured in a picture inside. The book is currently available online to pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Powells, IndieBound, and Random House, and will be released on April 6, 2010. Please consider pre-ordering the book and telling your friends. Just FYI – the pre-order purchases go towards the first week's sales. Why is this important? Because we want books on "service and volunteerism" to be a hit so more publishers will consider releasing these viable books in our incredibly competitive book market. Please click here to pre-order from a retailer of your choice.
Now, moving on to my next adventure...

The New Faces of Hunger in America
hun⋅ger –noun
1) a compelling need or desire for food. 2) the painful sensation or state of weakness caused by the need of food: to collapse from hunger. 3) a shortage of food; famine.
While many people tend to think of hunger as a distant problem, only in underdeveloped countries, the reality is that 36 million Americans struggle daily against hunger. Though sufferers may not be to the point of starvation, millions are undernourished and in turn face serious health risks. While people often say "hungry kids live in Africa," while this may be true, what they really should be saying is "there are hungry men, women, children, and elders down the street in your neighborhood in the U.S.A.," as these are the new faces of hunger.

Celebrity Culture for a CauseI do not know when the change happened, but once it did, it just seems like Americans are obsessed with knowing every detail of a celebrity's life. And then people become celebrities for no reason whatsoever, a.k.a, "Octomom" and Paris Hilton. Furthermore, some celebrities choose to do press for any and all reasons that have nothing to do with their trade or a project – just to have their name out there for no good reason. Many of you know that I used to be an entertainment publicist, but when I was in the business, it was not like it is now. And thank God, because I would not have lasted as long as I did. I just cannot stomach knowing everyone's business or seeing all of these scantily clad young girls running around being famous because of reality shows. And now we have scantily clad 40 and 50 year old housewives (Mothers at that! My God) doing the same thing.

I've never been able to access my Equifax credit report, and a few days ago I finally learned why.
I can check my TransUnion and Experion credit reports perfectly fine, however, I always receive a message saying they were unable to verify my identity whenever I tried ordering my Equifax credit report or viewing my Equifax FICO score. After contacting myFICO's customer service, they told me the SSN I had on file wasn't matching up with the SSN Equifax had on file. I thought this was quite strange, since I knew for a fact it was correct (seeing as I could order my TransUnion FICO score just fine).
After calling Equifax, they told me apparently they didn't have my SSN on my credit report, or associated with me, which I found extremely odd. Either way, I was told to fax in documentation so they could update my information, which is what I did (currently waiting to hear back from them).
Main question: After they update my SSN, will I be able to access my credit report like normal, or will I still have issues? Secondly, and even more importantly, will I have any history on my Equifax credit report once I do have access to it? I only have one credit card and it has been reporting to all 3 credit agencies, however, was the credit card company even able to report to Equifax seeing as I apparently never had a file with them? Will they "back date" or "back log" my history and add it to the new report, or has the credit card company been able to report just fine, and I just haven't been able to see it?
I'm a bit new to the whole credit scene (19 years of age), but I'm very interested in making sure I do things right now when I'm young and just starting, than having to fix problems later on.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I would contact your CCC and ask about their reporting your CC to EQ. They need to start reporting it to EQ if they haven't and check to see if they have been reporting it on someone else's CR. You should be able to gain access to your CR once the put your SSN on it. I will also consider subscribing to a CMS service to protect your new credit, at least for the short term. I use TrueCredit.
First ask your credit card compnay which credit bureaus they report to. If they report to Equifax then verify what information they are reporting IE name address and scoial security number. This should be the same information you are using to pull your credit report with.
Thanks for the replies.
I have already contacted my CCC, and they told me they do report to all 3 CRAs.
I just pulled both my TU and EX reports and scores today (EX from experiandirect.com/FAKO score and TU from here/FICO). I've never had a problem pulling from those 2 CRAs, and everything is up to date and accurate. My EX report actually shows my current CC balance, so it appears my CCC apparently reports to them multiple times within the month, and not just strictly at the end of each billing cycle (I don't know, not important anyways).
I faxed EQ the info they requested, and I've already contacted them twice and they tell me, please wait 10 business days before asking, so I guess I'm just playing the waiting game now. They told me I should receive an email once they process my fax and update my SSN on my credit file, so I'm hoping I actually do and not hear a "we never received a fax" response, or I just wasted 2 weeks.
I'm assuming once they update my SSN I should be able to access my EQ report and score (for the first time ever), and then I can see for myself if my CCC really has been reporting to them as well, or if the SSN issues caused any problems.
I'll report back next week, just seems odd to me EQ never had a SSN for me, but had all my other info... especially since my CCC has been reporting everything perfectly accurately to the other 2 CRAs.
i had the same issue with them last week. rep told me my information needed to be updated and to fax over doc's. faxed them and now i'm still waiting. anyone one else run into this problem with equifax?

So here's what has happened to me so far, please note this is probably about 15-20 calls total since I started trying (about a month ago).
Long story short, I was never able to view my EQ CR. I thought it was strange, but didn't really care, since I was and still am just getting started (only 19). After thinking about applying for some credit cards (currently only have 1 active line of credit, which is a Discover CC), I ordered my scores from here. Again, came back with no enough info for my EQ CR, so I called myFICO CS. They told the the SSN I was providing wasn't matching up with what EQ had on file for me. In other words, I gave myFICO.com my real SSN, and they were comparing it to a blank in EQ's system, so of course they didn't match.
After contacting EQ, I was told to fax a copy of my SSN card to them. Waited 10 business days only to learn they never received it and that the rep (even though I verified the number 3 times) gave me the incorrect department. I find it strange they can't just forward it to the correct department, anyways, wasted 2 weeks, and wasn't any closer to solving the issue. After receiving the new fax, I was told to call back the next day to verify they received it. After calling back the next day, I was told it will take 3-4 business days, and that I'll have to wait (again, wrong info from previous rep about time frame).
SO today I call (4th business day), and much to my surprise they actually received and verified my fax, except EQ can't actually update any info on my EQ CR, I need to go through a third party, CSC Credit, to do so. Does that make any sense? No, but whatever. After calling the number they gave me for CSC, it was disconnected. Called EQ back to get the correct number, and the rep tells me they never received my fax (even though the rep 10 minutes before said he was holding it in his hand). Hung up on the rep. Called back, got a rep and what a surprise, confirmed again they did indeed receive it and gave me a new number for CSC. Called that and it was simply a recording to visit their website. Called EQ back for a 4th time in 20 minutes, went though my story, after confirming their received the fax, gave me a third number for CSC (hilarious, right?).
Call the number and instantly get a live person. Goes through my info, and says it looks like my report was being managed by a different department within CSC Credit than the one I called, so she transferred me over. Spoke to another person who verified my info again, and told me EQ had not forwarded them the faxed info, so she couldn't update anything. Going through my head at this point is what the hell is the purpose of faxing EQ anything directly when I could just fax it straight to CSC Credit, anyways, so we continue.
I call EQ back for a 7th time in an hour span of time, after confirming my info and that they received my fax, rep puts me on hold again for even longer and then comes back (he actually sounded like he knew what he was talking about), and told me to have the CSC Credit rep pull up my file and scans of the faxed info I sent will be attached to my file, and they can view them and then update my info. At this point I had to go to work, so hopefully I'm down to making one last phone call tomorrow, and I'll be good to go.
On a side note, I'll post the direct numbers to EQ and CSC Credit, along with the correct fax number tomorrow if you want. It will help you avoid the runaround from EQ like they gave to me.
I'm actually going through this exact same process with my wife right now. I'm in the "wait 5-7 business days" mode right now. She had missing information on her CR and they wouldn't tell us what it was without faxing the whole information package to them. Would you please share that contact information with us?

Yeah, I will definitely post everything tomorrow morning when I get up. I'm a bit tired at the moment, just got back from work, but I'll make sure to post it first thing tomorrow. I'll also update you guys on where I'm at, and I have good news.
I just accessed my EQ CR for the first time ever today!!!!!! Wow, it feels amazing to finally be done with this.
So, after contacting CSC Credit Services again (yesterday), they still told me EQ hadn't attached the faxed documents to my credit file, which means they couldn't update anything. Instead, the CSC rep just asked if I wanted to fax it directly to them, which I said yes. I called them back this morning, and they said they had already received the fax and updated my info, minutes after that I was able to pull my CR from annualcreditreport.com for the first time ever (luckily there were no surprises on it).
I basically wasted a month messing with EQ, and the great part is, EQ can't even update or make ANY changes to my file, whatsoever, only CSC can, so why I was even dealing with EQ directly is beyond me. 20 some phone calls, where EQ kept telling me I faxed to the wrong department, called the wrong department, etc. It took 10 minutes on the phone with a CSC rep and I was done.
Here's the contact info for EQ and CSC Credit Services:
EQ (goes straight to a live person, they'll ask for a confirmation number, simply tell them they never gave you one and they'll still help):
1 (877) 784-2528
EQ Fax (this is the only department that can actually do anything in regards to updating personal info on file/forward it on):
1 (888) 826-0573
If your credit file is with CSC Credit Services, you might as well skip EQ completely, and just speak directly with CSC. Their reps are actual native English speakers, and they know what they're doing, unlike EQ reps.
To determine if your credit file is maintained by CSC, simply call 1 (800) 555-4544, and enter your ZIP code followed by #. If your file is maintained by them, it will give you a phone tree (hang up at this point because you can't speak to CS through that line). If your file is not maintained by CSC, it will tell you exactly who does, so if it is EQ, unfortunately you will have to go through them directly using the above contact info.
If your file is maintained by CSC, good news, it means it will take less than 48 hours to update everything and you'll be on your way.
CSC (this is not a call center line, this is a direct line that only a handful of people answer, so if you call multiple times in the same day, chances are you will speak with the same person, usually there is no hold whatsoever, but even if there is, it is usually brief):
1 (800) 272-9281
When you call the number above, simply tell them EQ told you to contact them to update your SSN, they'll ask you for some info to pull up your file, and then they should ask you if you want their direct fax number, if they don't, simply request you fax it to them and not EQ. The number above also isn't their CS line, so chances are the person you speak with will have to transfer you to their CS to get the actual info or fax number, THIS IS FINE. Their actual CS line is the 4544 number you already called, but there is no way to speak to the CSRs through that phone tree, so that's why you call the 9281 number instead and get transferred directly to a CSR (thus skipping the phone tree).
CSC Fax: 1 (281) 504-0667
DO NOT JUST FAX YOUR INFO RANDOMLY BEFORE CALLING. After speaking with whatever rep you speak with, you'll actually put ATTN [rep's name] on your fax. This leads me to believe it is a small department if everyone is on a first name basis, but that's beside the point.
After you fax the info they ask for (usually a copy of DL and SSN), it may take up to 48 hours, however, mine was done in less than 24 hours.
If you have any other questions, just post here. Otherwise, GOOD LUCK!
Thank you so much for posting this info. I'm still not able to pull the DWs credit file from Equifax after 10 business days, so I assume that the information I faxed them was sent into a black hole. I called the CSC 4544 line and was glad to hear that they did service our zip code. I'll gather some of the DW's information this afternoon and give them a call to get this sorted out. I'll update with information as I get it. Thank you again, glad to see someone else had the same problem we are having and was able to sort it out.

Lionsgate and Saban Capital Group aim to pounce on the fast-growing Asian TV market.
Saban Capital has joined Lionsgate as a 50-50 partner in the fledgling Tiger Gate pay TV service that Lionsgate launched with international TV vets William Pfeiffer and Paul Presburger in 2008. Tiger Gate created two themed movie channels, Thrill and Kix, in Indonesia last year and will expand both to the Hong Kong and Singapore markets later this month.
The plan is for the partners to aggressively roll out channels and packages of Lionsgate-owned film and TV content across Asia. They hope to expand to Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei within the next year and have their eye on the biggest targets of China, India, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the Middle East. Tiger Gate may also acquire media properties in the Asian region.
Thrill features Asian horror and thriller fare, as well as Lionsgate-owned product such as the enduring "Saw" horror franchise. Kix is focused on action-oriented fare. Tiger Gate will also look to acquire locally produced material that fits the Thrill and Kix brands, and down the road it may dive into its own original production.
The business ties on Tiger Gate raise the question of whether deep-pocketed Saban Capital might be in a position to help Lionsgate fend off the hostile takeover attempt by financier Carl Icahn, who has been highly critical of management decisions by Lionsgate's top brass. For now, insiders say Saban Capital is strictly focused on Tiger Gate but is open to the idea of doing more business together down the road.
Saban Capital had been scouting for a means to enter the Asian TV market. The partnership with a distrib that already has plenty of its own content was a no-brainer for the investment firm. The deal with Lionsgate has been in the works for about a month.
"Lionsgate's vast portfolio of branded content, strong marketing skills and experienced leadership make them an ideal partner for this venture," said Adam Chesnoff, Saban Capital's prexy and chief operating officer. "Tiger Gate is off to a strong start, and we are confident that, with the addition of Lionsgate's content and marketing and our operational experience and financial strength, this venture will achieve sustainable, long-term success."
Lionsgate emphasized that beefing up Tiger Gate is part of a broader global strategy to mine its library assets with themed channels and services. In the U.S., Lionsgate has the FearNet horror VOD channel in partnership with Comcast Corp. and Sony. Last year it bought cabler TV Guide Network in partnership with JP Morgan's One Equity Partners.
"We are doing what we do best — focusing on large niches that play to our strengths," Jon Feltheimer, Lionsgate co-chairman and CEO, said in announcing the Tiger Gate deal on Monday.

Not all roads are created equal
Not all roads are created equal when it comes to winter snow removal priorities and as the first big winter storm of the season bearing down on the Eastern Sierra, it's worth remembering why.
Both Mono County and the Town of Mammoth Lakes do their own snow removal and over the decades, both have developed a system that classifies snow removal priorities. The system is designed, first and foremost, to make sure critical roads, such as main roads and emergency services, such as police, fire and hospitals, are always accessible in a storm.
Then and only then do the snowplow drivers move on to other roads. For example, residential roads are considered the third highest priority when it comes to snow removal, out of five different road classifications. In other words, emergency access roads and roads to critical services outrank a citizen's need to get to work.
Here's a look at how this works.
First, every road in the county and Town is assigned a priority number between "one" (highest priority) and "five" (lowest priority).
For example, major highways and state roads, such as S.R. 203 and U.S. 395, as well as roads that lead to hospitals, schools, and emergency responders such as police and fire, and other essential services are always categorized as "Class I". Roads like those leading up to McGee Creek or Lundy Canyon are at the bottom of the list, or "Class 5". Residential roads, as noted above, are right in the middle, as "Class 3" roads.
In more detail, the list looks like this, according to the county snow removal policy.
Class I roads are paved roads that are school bus routes and major collectors, which provide the main access for communities to the State Highway System, and County roads that serve s access to fire stations, paramedics, and the Mono County Sheriff's office, according to the county's snow removal policy. "These roads will generally receive snow removal resources first and more frequently than subordinate road classifications, and it is the Department of Public Works' goal to keep them open continuously. While roads in this classification may close temporarily for public safety reasons, they will typically be the first to be re-opened. Safety devices, such as cinders and reflective tape on snow poles, may be used more extensively on these roads than for other road classifications.
"Class II roads are paved "collector" roads leading to communities and government offices, but they carry less traffic than Class I roads and are not part of school bus routes. The use and application of cinders are similar to that of Class I roads, but with less frequency; the same goes for safety devices.
"Class III roads are "residential streets, cul-de-sacs, and other paved and gravel community roads," according to the county's snow removal policy. "As the third priority designation, these roads generally receive snow removal as soon as all of the Class I and Class II roads have been opened and cleared. Cinders are typically used only in hazardous situations or locations, as determined by the Road District Supervisor, such as on steep grades and at intersections."
Note: The vast majority of Mammoth residents live on Class III roads and that means patience, in some cases. To save money and keep snow plow drivers focused on critical routes and roads, the county has adopted a policy that states: "Snow accumulations of less than three inches may not be plowed except during normal working hours." In other words, don't expect your residential road to be plowed to the pavement before you are up and about on the morning after a storm. That's what chains and 4WD vehicles are for.
"Class IV roads are other paved and gravel roads that are forest roads, remote roads serving single residences, or high mountain roads with severe snow accumulations and avalanche potential. These roads generally receive snow removal only after all of the above classes of roads are plowed and cleared, typically after the storms have passed. Snow will be removed during daylight hours only (if at all), and overtime hours are typically not authorized. These roads are subject to temporary closure or seasonal closure at the discretion of the Director of Road Operations or the Public Works Director, which may be the result of a series of heavy storms or presence of an avalanche hazard. Snow accumulations of six inches or less may not be plowed except during normal working hours. Cinders may be used only in hazardous situations or locations at the Road District Supervisor's discretion.
"Class V roads are primarily other forest roads that are closed during the winter months. These roads receive no snow removal resources or are only opened in the spring after a substantial amount of snowpack has melted."
Mono County Board of Supervisors this week reviewed and re-approved its policy on snow removal priorities.

Broncos lay the wood for title
TWIN FALLS — The Blackfoot Bronco American Legion team made their way back into the Twin Falls Wood Bat Tournament championship game for the fourth consecutive season and on Saturday Blackfoot laid the wood to Upper Valley as they won their third tournament in those four tries with an 8-6 victory.
"It was an even game," Blackfoot head coach Jeff Katseanes said. "Upper Valley are legit. They were in the state tournament during the high school season so they're a very good team."
Blackfoot drew first blood with a four run first inning. Russell Osborn, Cole Mansanarez and Colby Pearson each walked with one out to load the bases with Osborn coming home with the first run courtesy of an RBI single by Cody Evans. Jaron Katseanes followed with a 2RBI single to plate Mansanarez and Pearson and then Evans came scampering home on a passed ball for the early 4-0 lead.
"We came out with confidence which was a big key," Coach Katseanes said. "It was a great feeling. To come out and get some runs early, especially while we were dealing with the tough weather."
The biggest benefactor for the early run support was Colby Pearson who eventually worked a complete game for the victory.
In the win, Pearson scattered 6 hits, struck out 11 while throwing 125 pitches.
"Colby threw his guts out," Coach Katseanes said. "They were starting to get to him a little in the sixth inning and I went out to the mound and asked him how his arm felt. He said terrible but I'm not coming out. That just shows the type of competitor that Colby is."
With the win Blackfoot improves their season record to a very impressive 9-1. Blackfoot will be back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Burley for a double header beginning at 5 P.M.
"Burley will be a tough pair of games," Coach Katseanes said. "We will need to come out confident and focused."

Yogi Bear is a big boo-boo.
Read Full Review
Yogi is still smarter than the average bear, but Yogi Bear is much less smart than most of the year's kid-friendly cartoons.
There's nothing particularly inventive in the plot or grade-school humor, but the movie skates by on the timeless, undemanding charm of watching a tie-wearing bear try to steal people's lunches.
See all Yogi Bear reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 7+
Dumber-than-average family comedy won't even impress kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this broad comedy based on the Yogi Bear cartoons is age-appropriate for most elementary schoolers. There are some cartoonish, slapstick disasters (people falling, pies hitting Yogi in the face, people evacuating a campsite after fireworks start flying everywhere, etc.), and some insults (such as "stupid" and "loser"), but other than that, things are pretty tame. One couple does flirt and eventually shares a brief kiss, but there's no overt sexuality. The consumerism is also surprisingly mild, with only a few cars as product placements. Amid the silly humor, kids may learn how valuable state and national parks are and why it's fun to explore the outdoors with your family. Note: The 3-D version of the movie makes some parts feel more immediate/lifelike, but it doesn't have the "scary" factor that other 3-D flicks do.
Educational value: Kids will learn the importance of state parks.
Messages: Positive messages include taking care of state parks and discovering the fun that can be had with your family and friends in the outdoors.
Role models: Ranger Smith and Rachel are both environmentally aware advocates for Jellystone Park, and even though they frequently make mistakes, Yogi and Boo Boo always have good intentions (except when they're stealing pies ...). Even Ranger Jones has a change of heart and realizes that the park is more important than his ambition to be head ranger.
Violence and scariness: Cartoonish, slapsticky violence includes lots of messy picnic basket-nabbings, pratfalls, and minor crashes that are humorously disastrous but don't seem to really hurt (even though they should).
Sexy stuff: Some flirting between Ranger Smith and Rachel, as well as one kiss at the end. Yogi makes a silly comment about how Ranger Smith should court Rachel by fighting off potential suitors and then urinating on her to "mark her" as his.
Language: Insults like "dumb," "stupid," "loser," "heck," and the like.
Consumerism: Product placements aren't frequent, but a few scenes show a Lincoln Town Car and a Jeep, as well as a Ford pick-up truck.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue

Cats that don't like being held can become lap kitties. Hold and pet your cat while offering treats, which will teach your feline to associate holding with pleasant things: you, attention and food.
If your adolescent cat eats food meant for kittens, will you end up with a fat cat? And when is the right time to let senior cat food out of the bag?
These are just a few questions you must grapple with now that major pet food manufacturers offer kitten chow, adult food and even a geriatric diet, formulated for different stages of your cat's life. The pet food industry also manufactures foods for cats with different ailments, from obesity to allergies.
"In the old days, we just basically fed our cats one diet. You started them on a food and kept going for the rest of their lives," says Bonnie Beaver, DVM, a professor at the Texas A&M University Veterinary College. "They did OK, but now they can do even better."
From Kitten Food to Adult FoodPet food manufacturers have invested considerable time, research and money in developing foods that fulfill your cat's particular nutritional needs during each life stage. "Growing kittens have bones that are actively expanding," says Dr. Beaver. "Their needs in developing their nervous system are also different than they are for an adult cat." As a result, kitten foods often contain extra calcium for bone development, fat to aid growth, and important vitamins and minerals.
Pet nutrition experts say the best time to transition your pet from kitten food to adult cat food is somewhere between 9 and 12 months of age. Dr. Beaver explains that most cats' bones stop growing when the feline is around 14 months of age, with about three-fourths of that growth completed at 9 months.
Other factors that should influence your decision about when to transition your furry friend to a new diet include:
From Adult to Geriatric DietAn adult cat's energy levels usually decrease over time. "Geriatric animals don't need as much fat in the diet, and you need to be careful that they can digest the kinds of protein in their diet," Dr. Beaver says. "Plus, their kidneys are also notorious for giving out as they get older."
Pet nutrition experts say the time to transition your cat from adult food to senior food starts as early as 7 years and can go as late as 10 years. But not all pets will age at the "textbook" time. Keep these two factors in mind:
Help Your Cat Transition Between FoodsThe two biggest risks of transitioning your kitten or cat to a new life-stage diet are that your pet will reject the food or develop gastrointestinal problems. These steps can help prevent these problems from happening:
Life-stage foods are no gimmick. These foods have been formulated based on many years of research to meet your pet's changing needs at different points in their lives. "As these nutritional needs change," Dr. Saker says, "the diet should change."
Elizabeth Wasserman, a Washington, D.C., area-based freelancer, has been writing about pets, among other topics, for more than 15 years. Her love of dogs, in particular, was handed down through the generations from her great-grandfather, Eric Knight, who wrote the book Lassie Come Home in the 1930s.

Louise Romeo says: I have a 10 year old cat who recently started eating senior food; I recently adopted 2 kittens who are 4 months old and on kitten food. My problem is that my older cat wants to eat the kitten food and has virtually gone on a semi hunger strike because I'm not allowing him to eat that food. Is there a healthy dry food that both can eat? Thank you.
deneen farmer says: my cat has been getting out doors lately. upon coming back into the house,it seem his behavior changes. he is jumping all over and does not seem to want to lay down. please help. i don't know if he is sick or just plain cat behavior.
Dominic says: Hi there little kiettis. You have made me smile. You are beautiful, and I can tell, have lots of love to give to your family. You are precious beyond words. Remember little ones, God created you to be exactly how you are. Don't get upset when people might say mean, or cruel things to you, as they are only used to one kind of love. I know you will make people think that just because you are diffferent, you are still worthy of respect, kindness, and love. God Bless you little ones. :)

The Pitch Perfect sequel is still a ways off, but in the meantime, comfort yourself with the dulcet tones of super-harmonized Christmas classics. Yes, the Pitch Perfect cast is recording a holiday album, Hana Mae Lee (who played whispery Lilly in the movie) tells MTV. "I'm pretty sure it's going to be all a cappella," she says, which means someone's going to get to go nuts making mouth noises on "Little Drummer Boy."

FRANKFORT, Ky. — One of the rarest and most sought-after bourbon's produced in Kentucky is missing.
Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton says someone swiped about 65 cases of 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon in what appears to be an inside job from a secure area at Buffalo Trace Distillery's Frankfort operations.
Melton told The Courier-Journal whoever stole the bourbon walked off with about $26,000 of the limited stock. That's about $25,350 in 3-bottle cases of 20-year-old Pappy and about $675 in nine cases of 13-year-old Van Winkle Family Reserve rye.
Melton told the Lexington Herald-Leader the bourbon retails for about $130 a bottle and is worth "$300 or $400 a bottle" on the secondary market.
Spokesmen for the Buffalo Trace and the Van Winkle office did not return calls seeking comment.

Evolutionist claims and concepts are generally employed in a deceptive manner. One of these misrepresentations is the deliberate confusion of the concepts of "ordered" and "organized."
To clarify this, imagine a long, straight stretch of sand along the seaside. The wind produces sand dunes large and small. This is an ordering process. Yet that same wind cannot make a sandcastle. If you see a sandcastle, you can be are sure that somebody has made it, because a castle is an organized system, possessing information organized in a specific form. It has been made by someone with advanced planning.
Complex and organized systems can never come about through natural processes. Even if simple ordering does occur from time to time, this never exceeds certain specific bounds.
Yet evolutionists say that self-ordering phenomena emerging spontaneously as a result of natural process are significant evidence of evolution and are examples of self-organization. (See The Self-Organization Nonsense.) They then suggest that living systems can come into being as a result of natural phenomena and chemical reactions.
But while ordered systems feature simple sequences and repeated structures, organized systems contain exceedingly complex and inter-related structures and processes. Consciousness, information and organization are essential for them to emerge. This important difference is described by the evolutionist scientist Jeffrey Wicken:
"Organized" systems are to be carefully distinguished from "ordered" systems. Neither kind of system is "random," but whereas ordered systems are generated according to simple algorithms and therefore lack complexity, organized systems must be assembled element by element according to an external "wiring diagram" with a high information content . . . Organization, then, is functional complexity and carries information. 217
The widespread recognition of the severe improbability that self-replicating organisms could have formed from purely random interactions has led to a great deal of speculation-speculation that some organizing principle must have been involved. In the company of many others, Crick has considered that the neo-Darwinian mechanism of natural selection might provide the answer. An entity capable of self-replication is necessary, however, before natural selection can operate. Only then could changes result via mutations and environmental pressures which might in turn bring about the dominance of entities with the greatest probabilities of survival and reproduction.
The weakest point in this explanation of life's origin is the great complexity of the initial entity which must form, apparently by random fluctuations, before natural selection can take over. 218

Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral (Chicago, Illinois)
Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral serves as the cathedral church for the Diocese of Chicago and the Midwest of the OCA, of which His Eminence, the Most Reverend Job, a Chicago native, served as archbishop until his repose in December 2009. The church building for Holy Trinity was built under the leadership of Fr. John Kochurov, and was consecrated in 1903 by Bishop Tikhon of the Diocese of Alaska, Orthodox Church of Russia.
After efforts to establish an Orthodox Church in Chicago that was inclusive of Greeks, Serbians, and Russians fell apart in 1888, in 1892, a Russian parish was established. For a short time this parish was known as St. Nicholas. Services were originally held at 20 N. Peoria St., (old street numbering), which is also the place that the Greek Annunciation Cathedral (Chicago) and the Serbian Holy Resurrection (Chicago).
The San Francisco Morning Call newspaper reported on August 28, 1892 that a "magnificent temple" that would go by the name of St. Vladimir would be built and open its doors some time during the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. Although the parish did change its name to St. Vladimir, the parish did not get its own building until ten years later, with the erection of the church at 560 N. Leavitt St. (now 1121 N. Leavitt St.), which was designed by the renowned architecht, Louis Sullivan. In the meantime, the congregation worshipped in a rented building at 13 S. Center St. (Ironically, it was the church in Streator, Illinois that obtained pieces of the Russian Pavilion from the World's Fair in order to build a "Russian" church there, though the grand bell from that exhibition was held for the future Holy Trinity, though it never made it, since it was stolen shortly before it was to be installed in the new church.)
Fr. Ambrose Vretta served the parish from 1892 until 1895, when he was transferred to St. Spiridon Church in Seattle. Succeeding him was a young priest from Russia by the name of John Kochurov. It was under his leadership that Holy Trinity was built.
Fr. John served in Holy Trinity until 1907 when he returned to Russia where he continued as a priest and educator and eventually was martyred early in the Bolshevik takeover. Bishop Tikhon returned to Russia in 1907, and was elected Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Russia in 1917, the first Patriarch elected since the time of Tsar Peter the Great.
Holy Trinity became a cathedral in 1923 when its rector, Fr. Theodore (Pashkovsky) was elected bishop. Bishop Theophilus, as he was named following his monastic tonsure and consecration, would later be elected Metropolitan of the young church in America.
According to the Russko-Amerikanskii Pravoslavnii Kalendar (Russian-American Orthodox Calendar) published in 1937, the list of rectors of Holy Trinity were as follows: Archpriest H. Tort, Priest A. Vretta, Archpriest Y. (sic) Kochurov, Priest A. Yanovsky, Archpriest I. Slunin, Archpriest V. Alexandrov, Archpriest A. Kululevsky, Archpriest N. Mitropplsky, Archpriest A. Panteleyev, Archmandrite T. Mulyar, Archpriest A. Vyacheslavov, Archpriest S. Snyegirev
Resembling provincial Russian churches, Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral was designed by Louis Sullivan to serve as a center of a Russian neighborhood on Chicago's Near-North Side. Its construction was partially funded by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Other benefactors to this project included Cyrus McCormick and Charles R. Crane, who became ambassador to China in 1920.
Sullivan's design includes the church, the outside ornamentation, and the windows. The original outside design of Holy Trinity was also done to Sullivan's specifications, with the sections of the church painted in various bold colors. This color scheme only lasted a couple of years; since 1906 or so, the exterior has been a uniform white or gray. He did not design any of the interior painting other than the geometric stencilling, and most of the interior adornments came directly from Russia. It is unlikely that Sullivan designed the adjacent rectory.
Sullivan halved his normal 10% architecht's fee for this project, in part because of the 'cordial relations' between himself, Crane, Baron M. Schlippenbach (Imperial Russian Consul in Chicago) and Prince Nicholas W. Eugatilcheff (Imperial Russian Vice-Consul), counting as a donation the other 5%. Sullivan also designed the Tiffany chandelier that hangs from the center of the church, though a different chandelier hung there originally.
Later, Crane also arranged for a new, grander iconostasis, which was installed in Holy Trinity in about 1912. (The original iconostasis was sent to St. Mary Church, a fledgling parish in northern Wisconsin.)
As the years have progressed, the neighborhood has changed, and Holy Trinity is situated in an area of Chicago now known as Ukrainian Village, though the population of the area is now very diverse. For this reason, services are almost completely in English, though sometimes Old Church Slavonic is retained for some passages of the Divine Liturgy.
Holy Trinity was designated a Chicago Landmark on March 21, 1979, and has also been designated a National Historic Landmark, and a Historic Point of Interest.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 11, 2012) - Rugby Mining Limited ("Rugby" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RUG)(FRANKFURT:7RM) reports that it has amended the exercise price of an aggregate of 1,440,000 stock options with original exercise prices ranging from $0.85 to $1.31 to an exercise price of $0.50. These options are held by directors and officers of the Company and the amendment is subject to approval by disinterested shareholders and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
About Rugby
Rugby, with a treasury of $2.6 million, is an emerging mineral resource company focussed on the discovery of large scale gold and copper porphyries and epithermal gold-silver projects. The management team has a track record in the successful exploration and development of major resource projects in different mining jurisdictions
Mabuhay Project, Philippines: The Company holds an option to acquire up to 80% of the Mabuhay project in Surigao Province. The Company considers the project to have excellent potential for the discovery of both epithermal gold deposits and gold-copper porphyry systems.
Comita Project, Colombia: Rugby holds an option to earn up to 60% of Comita, an undrilled large scale porphyry copper-gold project in the western cordillera of Colombia. The project was recognised during a joint German-Colombian government sponsored exploration program over 20 years ago. No systematic exploration has been conducted since that time.
Interceptor Project, Argentina: The Company holds an option to acquire 100% of the Interceptor copper-gold project in Catamarca Province. The property is near the Maricunga gold belt in Chile, an established mining district that hosts both producing gold mines and advanced stage porphyry-type projects.
Hawkwood Project, Australia: Rugby holds an option to acquire 90% of the Hawkwood project in Queensland. The property, covering 427 km2 is prospective for gold, copper-gold and iron deposits. In January 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Eastern Iron Limited wherein that company can earn an 80% interest in iron ore targets in the project area. To date Eastern Iron has conducted several programs, including geophysical surveys and drilling.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes' insanity plea has been postponed at least until Tuesday.
Holmes was scheduled to appear in court Friday, but the judge delayed the hearing at the request of Holmes' lawyers.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 at a suburban Denver theater in July. He faces multiple charges of murder and attempted murder, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
The judge was expected to formally accept Holmes' insanity plea Friday and advise him of the consequences of the plea.
The defense asked for more time to review the judge's recent ruling that rejected their contention that state laws on insanity and the death penalty violate Holmes' constitutional rights.
The judge granted the delay in an order Thursday.

J.K. Rowling's Dark Mark
Why she should lose her copyright lawsuit against the Harry Potter Lexicon.
As I wrote in October, over the last few years, the relationship between fan-written Web sites and the copyright owners of the content they draw on, if legally murky, has at least been peaceful. Once it dawned on media companies that fan sites are the kind of marketing that they usually pay hard cash for, they generally left the fans alone. But things turned sour in the fall, when the Harry Potter Lexicon Web site announced plans to publish a book version of its fan-written guide to the Potter world. Author J.K. Rowling and publisher Warner Brothers have sued the Lexicon for copyright infringement, exposing the big unanswered question: Are fan guides actually illegal?
As sympathetic as I am to Rowling and her rights as an author, the answer is no. There is a necessary and healthy line between what the initial author owns and what follow-on, or "secondary," authors get to do, and Rowling is running over that line like the Hogwarts Express. The creators of H.P. Lexicon may not be as creative as Rowling, but they are authors, too, and deserve a little respect from the law.
At issue are the giant fan-written guides like the H.P. Lexiconor the Lostpedia (for the show Lost) that try to collect all known information on topics like Harry's pet owl or the Dharma Initiative. Rowling takes the position that she, as the original author, has the right to block the publication of any such guide. In her words: "However much an individual claims to love somebody else's work, it does not become theirs to sell."
But Rowling is overstepping her bounds. She has confused the adaptations of a work, which she does own, with discussion of her work, which she doesn't. Rowling owns both the original works themselves and any effort to adapt her book or characters to other media—films, computer games, and so on. Textually, the law gives her sway over any form in which her work may be "recast, transformed, or adapted." But she does not own discussion of her work—book reviews, literary criticism, or the fan guides that she's suing. The law has never allowed authors to exercise that much control over public discussion of their creations.
Unlike a Potter film or computer game, the authors of the Lexicon encyclopedia are not simply moving Potter to another medium. Their purpose, rather, is providing a reference guide with description and discussion, rather like a very long and detailed book review. Such guides have been around forever—centuries if you count the Bible, and more recently for complex works like the writings of Jorge Borges or The Lord of the Rings.As long as a guide does not copy the original work verbatim, it falls outside the category of "adaptation." And that's why it is largely unnecessary to discuss the more complex copyright doctrine of "fair use." Rowling's rights over the guide don't exist to begin with, so we don't need to go there.
This can be made clear by looking at a typical Lexiconentry, like this one for the "house elf," the character who does the scut work in the Potter universe. "House-elves," says the encyclopedia, "are small humanoid creatures who inhabit large houses belonging to wealthy Wizarding families."
For a fan to write this kind of entry, Rowling says, is to "take the author's hard work, re-organize their characters and plots, and sell them for their own commercial gain." But that's ridiculous. This and other entries aren't, as Rowling seems to suggest, anything like an abridgment of the originals. No one would read the Lexiconas a substitute for the Potter books; it is useless unless you've read the original, and that makes all the difference.
The closest relevant legal precedent is the 2002 Beanie Baby decision by Judge Richard Posner (who has a taste for cases involving stuffed animals). Ty, the producer of Beanie Babies, doesn't like unauthorized guides to the Beanie Baby universe and their unflattering tendency to criticize the company, so it sued. Ruling against the company, Judge Posner used the same analogy that I have, comparing the guides to book reviews: "Both," he said, "are critical and evaluative as well as purely informational; and ownership of a copyright does not confer a legal right to control public evaluation of the copyrighted work." That's logic that should control the Potter case as well.
Even if the Beanie Baby case isn't directly controlling, the economics suggest the same result. How, exactly, are we hurt by the existence of competing guides to the Potter universe, one written by fans, the other by Rowling? It would be strange to say that since Fodor has written a perfectly good guide to London, we don't need the Lonely Planet or, for that matter, Wikitravel. Giving Rowling what she wants would be like giving Egypt the power to control guides to the pyramids.
Bizarrely, Rowling says that the fan guide would prevent her from writing her own guide to the Potter world. "I cannot," she said in a statement "approve of 'companion books' or 'encyclopedias' that seek to preempt my definitive Potter reference book. ..." To begin with, Rowling sounds entirely too much like a Death Eater in this quote. More generally, two products in the same market isn't called pre-emption—the word is competition. Why not let consumers decide which guide they like better? Rowling might object that the fan's guide will be strewn with errors or poorly written; but it is hardly the job of copyright to protect us from bad execution. And the fan's guide might actually be better, or at least different.
There are more ethereal reasons that Rowling ought not win. For reasons anthropologists will someday understand, volunteer encyclopedias have become the place to find what passes for our collective wisdom. Wikipediais the clearest example: It may be wrong sometimes, but it is nonetheless a statement as to what we know. To her credit, Rowling accepts this and tolerates the online version of the H.P. Lexicon. But a general rule of the kind she is asking for isn't so generous: It would, by necessity, give copyright owners power over the content of Wikipediaand other online encyclopedias that discuss their works. Not the end of the world, but certainly a subtle form of thought control.
In the end, this dispute is about the current meaning of authorship. Rowling is the initial author and deserves the bulk of the credit, respect, and financial reward. But she has all of that. What she wants is a level of control over the Potter world that just isn't healthy. The authors of fan guides, like house elves, rarely get famous or rich. They deserve legal credit for their modest contributions, not the Wizengamot.

I've been using Heart Technology for nearly 6 months and really like it. I have a couple of questions:
1. I read something from a reputable health supplement company today that concerns me. Here's the quote:
"Of course, the manufacturers oblige by producing products with higher and higher doses. Now, in the case of Vitamin C you shouldn't take any more than 400mgs a day in ascorbic acid form unless you are sick. This is because excess ascorbic acid reacts with your stomach acid and will actually produce free radicals instead of 'absorbing' them.
High doses of Vitamin C should only be taken intravenously for serious illnesses."
I know Linus Pauling treated his illness with intravenous vitamin C. I's there any truth to the above statement?
2. Since Heart Technology gets rid of plaque in the heart/blood vessels, does it also remove plaque in the brain?
Thank you.
At first glance, the idea that vitamin C in excess of 400 mg creates free radicals in the stomach begs many questions. How did they determine the 400 mg number? Does the stomach pH matter? Is the "free radical" the ascorbate free radical or dehydroascorbic acid (DHA)? If DHA, this statement may be partially true, however, these "free radicals" are absorbed, and are not harmful. (DHA is able to pass through membranes easier than unoxidized ascorbic acid. DHA may be the reason why vitamin C can be absorbed into the blood stream through the stomach lining.)
You say this is a reputable manufacturer? Who is it, and where is this information published? We'd love to review any science behind this statement, but it sounds too contrived. The arbitrary 400 mg number is a dead giveaway.
Regarding #2, vitamin C does pass through the blood-brain barrier and in theory, would provide protection against strokes.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe capybara is an efficient grazer, able to crop the short, dry grasses left at the end of the tropical dry season (3). Although the diet comprises mainly grass, it also includes aquatic vegetation, such a water hyacinths, as well as other plants, grain, and sometimes fruits (2) (3) (4). When alarmed, the capybara is capable of running swiftly over land, and often dives into water to escape (2) (4) (6). A strong swimmer, it is able to stay underwater for up to five minutes at a time (3) (6). The species is normally active morning and evening, resting during the heat of the day, but has apparently become nocturnal in areas where it is persecuted by humans (2) (4). A social species, the capybara is typically found in family groups of around 10 to 30 individuals, comprising a dominant male, one or more females (which are often related), young of various ages, and one or more subordinate males. Most solitary individuals are male. Group size may depend on habitat, and in the dry season several groups may gather around dwindling pools, forming temporary aggregations of up to 100 or more animals. However, when the wet season returns, these aggregations split into the original groups that formed them (3) (5) (8). All adults in a group help defend the territory against intruders, and regularly scent mark the area using secretions from anal scent glands. These secretions may also be used for individual recognition, as the proportions of chemicals they contain differ between individual capybaras (3) (8). Capybaras mate in the water (3) (6). The female usually gives birth to a single litter each year (4) (6), at the end of the rainy season, after a gestation period of around 150 days (3) (8). Usually, up to eight young are born, and are highly developed at birth, able to follow the female and even eat grass within the first week of life (3) (4) (5). Weaning takes place at around 16 weeks (4), although milk is a relatively minor part of the infant's diet compared to grass (5). All young within the group tend to stay together in a crèche, and may suckle from any nursing female (3) (8). The capybara reaches sexual maturity at around 12 to 18 months, and may live for up to 10 years in the wild, or to 12 years in captivity (3) (4).

The Realities of Online Personalisation
Econsultancy's first Realities of Online Personalization Report, sponsored by Monetate, is based on a survey of more than 1,100 digital and ecommerce professionals working for brands and agencies.
The research looks in detail at what is driving online personalization, the tactics and types of data being used to tailor the online customer experience and the barriers to success.
This year's study shows that while companies see personalization as a high priority (the vast majority of respondents agree that 'personalization of the web experience is critical to current and future success'), most are stuck in the slow lane when it comes to implementation. A large proportion say they understand the importance of personalization, but don't know where to start and how to approach it.
The 46-page report, also summarized in presentation format, is divided into the following sections:
- Extent of personalization, drivers and barriers
- Use of data and real-time onsite behavior
- Measurement and segment discovery
- Channels, targets and data
- Tactics and testing strategies
- Ownership and budgets
We have identified six key trends:
- Personalization is seen as vital for business performance
- But it is early days for personalization – the reality is harder than the dream
- Most companies are still held back by technology
- Disparate data sources – another major problem
- Most organizations have a desktop-centric online customer experience focus ... but phones and tablets should not be ignored
- Companies see personalization as a high priority, but extent of tactics and testing is limited

My mother's family....
This is my mom's family, about 1949. Mom is the little girl in the front. Her name is Margaret. Behind her are the three boys next oldest, Clarence, Rodney, and Wayne. In the back from left to right are Doreen, Laura (the oldest) Al (Alfred), and Eileen, and then is their mother, Minnie, holding baby Geraldine (Gerry), and then father George. My grandmother Minnie had MS, and passed away when my mother was 13 and Gerry was 9. A few short months later Gerry also died, from a heart problem never properly diagnosed. So my mom lost both her mother and her closest sister in the space of a few months.
This is the only photo that I know of with the whole family together.

Hi Natalia -- neat site! It reminds me that I have to find that old large family photo I told you about awhile back.
Also, looking at all these old pictures makes me realize how very rare it must be to find a photo of one of those pre-60's Moms pregnant. (esp. before the turn of the 20th century.) That would be a neat thing for sure!
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kristin, thanks for your comment! You're right, it is really rare, at least that I've seen. I do have one though! I will have to post it too!
And I do remember you telling me about that photo - if you find it I'd love to have a nice and detailed scan, if possible! Thanks so much!

This fall marks the formal debut of four new Innovation Law Clinics, designed to give UC Hastings students direct transactional and intellectual property experience in a real-world context, and just maybe find the next new thing.
"Our students are working with very young, early-stage entrepreneurs," said Professor Robin Feldman, director of the LAB Project. "Imagine grad students with a dream for a new computer, or a new drug delivery system. They each believe they have the next greatest idea."
Two clinics soft-launched as pilot projects this year. Nine students working with the UC Hastings LAB Project, the UCSF technology transfer office, and the "Startup in a Box" program with the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3) helped budding biotech innovators develop their ideas and trouble-shoot legal issues.
Two additional clinics, focused on technology startups, small businesses and social enterprises, come online in Fall 2012. Each is yearlong, and open to 3Ls. By using outside attorneys from local technology law firms, Hastings will be able to offer clinic slots to 50 to 60 students over time, and still meet supervision guidelines.
Traditional legal education focuses on case law and litigation. But some 40% of law is transactional. "These clinics provide relevant, practical experience, with a classroom component for reflection," Feldman said.
As with all clinics, students begin with a practicum, learning the underlying doctrines of a transactional practice. UC Hastings students are then paired with business students and innovators from UC Berkeley, UCSF and UC Santa Cruz. Working with inventors and innovators give UC Hastings students a chance to see firsthand how entrepreneurs think and work. Then, in their seminars, they can analyze and brainstorm problems with peers.
In fast-moving sectors, such as biotech, knowledge of the field is vital. Bioscience law, in particular, "is being made on the ground. It's not in dusty casebooks," Feldman said.
The start-up focus is natural for UC Hastings, given its proximity to Silicon Valley. "One of the things California does well is innovation," said Feldman. "And innovation is a key driver of the American economy."
The program will serve ventures too small or too young to afford traditional legal services. The clinics will also meet the needs of local businesses, including mom-and-pop stores in the Tenderloin. The social enterprise clinic will focus on business that are "doing well by doing good," such as Tom's shoes, a for-profit that has a companion non-profit that donates a pair of shoes for each pair sold.
California lawmakers recently approved a new corporate form known as a benefit corporation. This means UC Hastings students will be some of the first graduates with practical knowledge about the new structure.
In the clinics, students will help entrepreneurs and small business owners with entity formation, supply contracts, employment contracts, and help spot IP issues.
The problem-solving approach is much more like a traditional business-school approach, Feldman said. And the clinics have attracted students that are very much like the entrepreneurs they work with. "These are excited, engaged, energetic self-starters," Feldman said of her students. "They are the type of students who want to go out and make something happen."
The result, she hopes, will be young lawyers are not just business-focused, but think like entrepreneurs think, she said. "We want to teach our students to be partners in enterprise, not just the lawyer in the room."

It's obvious, he's gettin outta Dodge before the shit hits the fan with all the worldwide inquests into Catholic Church child abuse. Evil bastard isn't too senile to realise this is the beginning of the end.
I'm unconvinced by the news the the Vatican staff were taken by surprise.
If the cardinals elect the First Black Pope, we will refund all losing bets on the Next Pope market.
