Austin Tice was well on his way to a law degree when the pull of journalism got to be too much for him. Fascinated by the Middle East and frustrated with news coverage he saw as often too shallow, he decided to see if he could do better.
"It always drove Austin crazy when they'd say on the news this couldn't be confirmed because it's too difficult to report," said Marc Tice, Austin's father. "He thought, 'I've got the ability to do this. I can get in there and get these stories.' "
Four months ago, Tice was captured in Syria delivering on that commitment with fresh and compelling freelance reports regularly published in McClatchy newspapers and The Washington Post. While the wait for news on his whereabouts drags on, we wanted to make the case for why this work is so vital and why he should be released.
We also want to draw attention to the delicate role of foreign reporters in places such as Syria. Understanding the savage tableau of war helps citizens, societies and governments make judgments and set policies that affect millions of people. At its best, journalism may save lives by making the costs and consequences of war more vivid.
Inevitably, journalists take risks when they cover wars. We've lost friends and colleagues in battle; the brother of one of us, a photographer, was wounded seriously 20 years ago in Sarajevo. But the risks should not include kidnapping, torture or murder.
And yet, this year, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, 67 journalists have been killed in direct relation to their work. In Syria, the number killed in combat or murdered is 28, a rate the committee says approaches the worst annual tally of the Iraq war. Foreign and Syrian reporters alike have been killed. Even the head of Libya's state-run SANA agency was assassinated. Last week, NBC's chief of foreign correspondents, Richard Engel, and his crew escaped a kidnapping in Syria after a gunfight between their captors and rebels.
Many of the journalists at risk in conflict zones today aren't on staff at big, traditional news organizations. The uprisings and revolutions in the Middle East have attracted freelance journalists who upload video directly to YouTube or report battles in real time to followers on Twitter or Facebook.
Like many freelancers, Tice followed an unusual path to foreign reporting, an assignment that can take decades to earn on a big newspaper's staff. A captain in the Marines who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tice left the service and went to Georgetown law school. After his second year, he gave in to the tug of journalism that dated back to high school.
Equipped with cameras, an exquisite writing talent and an instinct for finding his way to the center of things, he slipped over the Turkish border into Syria in May. He managed to get by checkpoints in Damascus by dressing as a woman despite his 6-foot-3-inch, 220-pound frame.
His work has been courageous and professional, contributing to the montage of truth that has shaped the world's understanding of the Syrian conflict. Though he traveled mostly with the rebels, Tice was as interested in one side as the other, in capturing opposing viewpoints and casualties.
He focused on how the rebels were gaining momentum over the summer. He also helped to break the news in August that rebels were carrying out executions and torture. He was often on the front lines of the conflict. He celebrated his 31st birthday, he noted in his last Twitter post before his capture in mid-August, to the sounds of bombs landing nearby.
Information on his captivity, and even who is holding him, has been hard to confirm despite the constant efforts of his family, our news organizations and contacts in the United States and other governments.
Tice was in the country without a visa, as have been the majority of those covering this story. As his captivity heads into its fifth month, he has long since paid the price if this is seen as a violation of the country's borders.
We believe his own story makes the best argument for his release.
He has surely met the high standards of depth and fairness that drew him to this work. His reporting has served Syria and the wider world with coverage that cannot exist without dedicated reporters such as Austin Tice. Those responsible for his capture and detention have a moral obligation to return him to his family, his friends and his work.
Brauchli (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the executive editor of The Washington Post, and Gyllenhaal (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the vice president for news at McClatchy Newspapers.

Walkfit - the walking version of British Military Fitness – is a low impact, fun, outdoor workout involving bodyweight exercises mingled with brisk walking to burn calories and keep your heart healthy.
There's plenty of banter too because classes are led by qualified military instructors with the skills to motivate you to get stronger and more mobile - all in your local park.
Unlike the slightly sweatier BMF classes, you're even allowed a bit of Talkfit at Walkfit so it's a social occasion too!
Walkfit is particularly popular with the over 50s and currently takes place at three parks in the south of England – Dulwich Park in London, Nonsuch Park near Cheam in Surrey and Priory Park near Reigate – but it is expanding.
Classes have proved so popular with the over 50s in particular that British Military Fitness - the UK's largest provider of outdoor fitness classes - is expanding its Walkfit classes to six new parks around the country from 10th June.
Now they're coming to Bushy and Finsbury Parks in London; Bruntwood Park in Cheadle, Greater Manchester; Hove Park in Brighton; Pittville Park in Cheltenham and at Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield.

Saltz: Is Glenn Beck's 'Obama in Pee-Pee' Actually Art?
Yes, but it unintentionally reveals something about the artist.
Amid the deluge of stories about the post-election meltdown of the right, last night we saw an epically demented manifestation of conservative America's mental breakdown. In an eleven-minute video, the fruitbat right-wing radio personality Glenn Beck donned a tweed jacket, then switched to a painter's smock and a red beret that made him look like a geezer Guardian Angel. He carried a pipe, and spoke in an accent that bounced back and forth between French, English, and his own American. And then Glenn Beck made a piece of art.
Inspired by the news story of Michael D'Antuono's long-hidden painting of a crucified Barack Obama finally emerging on the walls of a Boston community college art gallery, Beck set out to make a point about censorship and art and filth and liberals by using his own waste and trace amounts of satire. The segment started with a series of riffs: railing at people who portray nudes, then painting a thong on a print of a Rubens (whom he calls the "butt-crack guy") and adding a sweater and jeans to a Lucian Freud. He mentioned Picasso's Blue period, and carried on for awhile about painting out men's "ding-a-lings." And then Beck deliriously announced that he'd been working on a work of art of his own, "for quite a while — all day."
Ambling over to a tall pedestal, he lovingly cupped his hands around a jar filled with yellow liquid. He announced that he'd been drinking a lot of water all day, that this was a jar of his own urine. He offered that this was his "yellow period," and told us it's "a warm piece of me," again seeming overinterested and excited, fondling the jar with both hands. Then he had an assistant bring him a little plastic figurine. It was a kind of dashboard Obama, maybe in a smock. Beck took the figure between his fingers, held it over the jar, and dropped it into the urine.
However, the little Obama did not sink. The moment was hilarious: Beck tried to push it down a few times, splashing himself in the process. Looking around, he asked for "a stick." He then walked over and got his paintbrush, and tried to submerge the figure a few times. It still floated. Wouldn't go down. Flustered, flummoxed, he announced, "We should have tried this before." Not knowing what to do, he screwed the lid on and christened it "Flobama." He then unveiled a label that had a different title on it, Obama in Pee Pee. The price was $25,000. He announced that if this work were to sell on eBay, he'd do one of Michelle Obama and her "little abs," and put it in a Dos Equis beer bottle. (The auction would be removed by eBay in midstream, though it continued on Beck's own site.)
But is it art, this potty spectacle of a white man ridiculing the work of black artist Andrès Serrano, placing a black man in a jar of urine (while also attacking the work of black artist Chris Ofili as an aside)? Well, as Beck sneers, "Art is in the eye of the beholder." Yep, and so is pornography, which this thing seems closer to: It's just as canned, conventional, predictable, and badly produced, and stars a bad actor. As art, Beck's Obama in Pee Pee looks rinky-dink and silly. More like a party favor or a tchotchke. Boring bad art, plain and simple. Terrible sculpture, regardless of politics.
Yet Beck's goody-two-shoes censuring of the Rubens and Freud nudes has something truly possessed and bizarre about it. A fear of sex this latent but pronounced makes for a fantastically charged visual paradox. Plus, Beck's brushwork is so flippant and slapdash that it somehow goes well on the reproductions — even adds to them. Beck obviously has several screws loose; he can't think his work through, and doesn't know when to stop. But if he concentrates, rounds up all the many nudes he disapproves of from art history, and covers them up with paint in ways that he finds more appropriate, I would love to see a show of these paintings and write about it. His blackboards that demonstrate the ways in which Democrats are Maoists or Communists, or prove that Obama is a Nigerian set on overthrowing the United States, are true masterpieces of paranoid-delusion, works that I would gladly see in any museum. Beck is an artist; just not in the way he thinks he is.

Kale has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Once relegated to the sidelines as a mere garnish, the green now appears on 400 percent more restaurant menus than it did four years ago.
But not everyone has bought into the gospel of the vitamin- and mineral-rich green. Even Deb Perelman, who writes the blog and cookbook Smitten Kitchen, was initially a kale skeptic.
"I've said before that I've often thought the world would be a better place if we could stop pretending that kale tastes good," she tells All Things Considered host Melissa Block.
Perelman says she's since come around to the vegetable and uses it "tepidly" in recipes. But she still doesn't understand the obsession around it.
"I don't actually think that a world where people are eating a lot of kale versus a lot of, I don't know, potato chips or bacon is a bad place," she says. "I just don't understand the fervor."
One dish that helped changed her mind was the kale salad at Barbuto in New York City's West Village. Even though she wrote "the last thing the internet needs is another kale salad," she posted a recipe for it on her blog last month.
"It was so good and I just tried to imitate it. Like, I missed it on Monday when I hadn't had it in two days. Maybe that's how it happens; it's like a long dark road from here," she says.
When recreating it at home, Perelman used a lighter kale that she cut into thin ribbons. She then tossed it with toasted breadcrumbs and walnuts, raisins, pecorino romano cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
"We inhaled it," she says. "I'm going to have to reconsider my identity as a kale skeptic. I thought I was all Team Swiss Chard but now I'm not sure."
She says she isn't quite sure what makes the salad so wonderful, but theorizes it has something to do with its combination of a few simple ingredients that would make almost anything taste good — dried fruit, salt, cheese and toasted nuts. Yet, "it looks so wholesome and you think: 'How could this possibly taste good?' " she says.
Recipe: Kale Salad With Pecorino And Walnuts
This recipe is based on a kale salad offered at Barbuto in New York City. Tuscan kale is also known as black or lacinato kale and is the thinner, flatter leaf variety.
1/2 cup walnut halves or pieces
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup panko slightly coarse homemade breadcrumbs (from a thin slice of hearty bread)
1 tiny clove garlic, minced or pressed
Coarse or kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch tuscan kale, washed and patted dry
2 ounces pecorino cheese, grated or ground in a food processor, which makes it delightfully rubbly (1/2 cup total)
Juice of half a lemon
Freshly ground black pepper or red pepper flakes, to taste
To prepare walnuts, heat oven to 350 degrees. Toast walnuts on a baking sheet for 10 minutes, tossing once. Let cool and coarsely chop.
In a small saucepan over low heat, simmer white wine vinegar, water and raisins for 5 minutes, until plump and soft. Set aside in liquid.
Toast bread crumbs, garlic and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a skillet together with a pinch of salt until golden. Set aside.
Trim heavy stems off kale and remove ribs. I always find removing the ribs annoying with a knife, because the leaves want to roll in on the knife and make it hard to get a clean cut. Instead, I've taken to tearing the ribs off with my fingers, which is much easier for me. Stack sections of leaves and roll them into a tube, then cut them into very thin ribbons crosswise.
Put kale in a large bowl. Add pecorino, walnuts and raisins (leaving any leftover vinegar mixture in dish), remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice and toss until all the kale ribbons are coated. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper and some of the reserved vinegar mixture from the raisins, if needed. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving, if you can, as it helps the ingredients come together. Just before serving, toss with breadcrumbs and, if needed, a final 1 teaspoon drizzle of olive oil.
You know, I have a kale confession to make. Not long ago, I inflicted a batch of chocolate kale cupcakes on the staff here at ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. They were leaden and leafy and just wrong.
Now, the cupcakes did get devoured because these folks will eat just about anything. But it was a cruel, cruel thing to do, and it would've won me no points with food writer and kale skeptic Deb Perelman. She's the author of the "Smitten Kitchen" cookbook and blog, and she joins me now from New York.
And Deb, among kale people - you do not count yourself, correct?
DEB PERELMAN: I've said before that I've often thought the world would be a better place if we could stop pretending that kale tastes good.
PERELMAN: I have come around to it. I now use it tepidly in recipes. I don't actually think that a world where people are eating a lot of kale versus a lot of like, I don't know, potato chips or bacon is a bad place. I just don't think it's - I don't understand the fervor.
BLOCK: Yeah. Well, it's interesting to me because you say on your blog that the last thing the Internet needs is another kale salad, and yet there you are with a recipe in which you ask the question, am I on the wrong blog?
PERELMAN: I really felt like it. I was like if you probably Google kale salad, you know, you'll probably get - I'd imagine - easily, 10,000 results. So it's not like the Internet is short of preparation ideas for kale. But it got me. I had a salad about a few weeks ago at Barbuto in the West Village, and it was so good. And I just try to imitate it. Like, I missed it on Monday, when I hadn't had it in two days. Maybe that's how it happens. It's like a long, dark road from here.
BLOCK: You are going over to the dark side.
BLOCK: Well, why don't you give us the broad outlines of this recipe for kale salad?
PERELMAN: I use a softer, lighter kale that I think goes more nicely in salads. And I like to cut it very, very thin, like thin ribbons. And what I think really counts about the salad is the stuff you put with it. I used toasted walnuts, which I remembered from the salad I had there. And also, I plump raisins slightly, in a mixture of vinegar and water, so they get an almost - not just sweet but like, a really punchy affect; and then a good amount of romano cheese. Pecorino romano is like, really aged and salty, and it adds a really nice flavor there.
And then just some lemon juice and olive oil, salt and pepper, though you'll barely need any salt with that salty cheese in there. And you put it together, and you have this salad that just - I don't know. We inhaled it - like, who are we? I don't know. I'm going to have to like, reconsider my identity as a kale skeptic. I thought I was all team Swiss chard but now, I'm not sure.
BLOCK: And we should say that listeners can find this recipe on our website, npr.org. And I think you're forgetting the toasted bread crumbs.
PERELMAN: Oh, my gosh, I forgot the toasted bread crumbs.
BLOCK: Yeah.
PERELMAN: Boy. The toasted bread crumbs add a really nice crunch at the end. You just toast them in a little bit of olive oil. If you're gluten-free or, you know, if you have gluten-free bread crumbs, they'll work too. But if - you could skip that as well, but it does add a really nice crunch and adds like, sort of this layer of luxury where you're getting like, this whole thing - a salad that really feels like a meal.
BLOCK: You're kind of just drowning out the kale there, aren't you, Deb?
PERELMAN: No. We are bringing out the wonders of the kale, and it is funny because it's so dark green, and it looks so wholesome, and you think: How could this possibly taste good? But I kind of have a theory that you could probably use this combination of like a dried fruit, a salty cheese, a toasted nut and a little bit of crunch with most things, and it would taste good. But it does happen to taste particularly good with kale here.
BLOCK: Deb Perelman, of the "Smitten Kitchen." Deb, thanks so much for talking to us.
PERELMAN: Thanks so much for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

July 6th: Ritter Sport Cookies & Cream + Competition
Listen up ChocolateMission readers!! Today you not only get a brand spanking new review of the latest Ritter Sport Cookies & Cream bar, but you also get the opportunity to enter a prize drawing to try it your very self!!
This Ritter Sport Cookies & Cream has been long in development and was created off the back of a 'Create your own flavour of Ritter Sport' competition that ran in Germany early this year. As part of the competition, Ritter also asked their fans to create packaging designs for the wrappers - and the three winning bars are displayed throughout below. All you have to do today is to pick your favourite out of the three, and hope it matches my own!! :D ... simple eh!? All you have to do to enter is to start following me on Twitter and to send a tweet to @ChocMission with your answer and a '#competition' I will announce the winners in the next '7Days of Chocolate Reviews Post' .... shall I talk chocolate now :D
This latest offering slots into Ritter's existing range of 100.0g bars and comes described as 'white chocolate filled with a vanilla cream filling with pieces of chocolate cookie' - yumtastic I thought!
As you can see above the chocolate looked attractive on the eye, and as ever the filling appeared plentiful sandwiched between the outer clean cut white chocolate. After allowing for a brief cooling time in the fridge, myself and the rest of my family split the bar into four-by-four quadrants and tucked in with high expectations. After consuming our servings, thoughts were then shared, and our opinions were oddly unanimous. We all thought the mouth feel of the chocolate was sensational with the crisp out chocolate playing off nicely with cooling sensation brought to the party by the softer inner filling that was lined with crunchy cookies pieces. The taste was concluded to be pleasant, but not all that engaging with the vanilla and sugar flavours proving to be more one dimensional than expected. It must be reiterated that the sweet milky bourbon taste was liked all well round, but I think more was expected from the cookie element which didn't provide much in the way of flavour.
Overall the general consensus behind this chocolate was that it was enjoyable, yet could of been better. It was one of those chocolates that you could happily eat all day long without getting much satisfaction from it. From a personal point of view I thought it needed more of a flavour input from the cookie pieces to give the taste an extra dimension. It wasn't far off being an exceptional chocolate, however it's lack of depth in the taste and subsequent satisfaction credentials have left it more of a mediocre chocolate offering. Who cares what we say though eh!? Get yourself in the mix to see if you are lucky enough to try it yourself by entering the competition above.

Fannie Leona Milligan of Hood River, Ore., went home to be with her Lord on Oct. 23, 2012, at the age of 91. Fannie was born in Jackson County, N.C., on May 31, 1921, to John and Belva Chasteen.
When Fannie was 7 years old she moved with her family to Fremont County, Idaho, after the death of her father. As a young adult, Fannie worked in potatoes, grain fields and eventually in a dry cleaning business in Ashton.
On March 31, 1957, Fannie married Roy Milligan. White Salmon, Wash., became their new home town in 1963.
When Fannie's youngest daughter started school, she went to work for Diamond Fruit Growers in Hood River. When she retired from the cannery, Fannie enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.
In 1987 Fannie became a member of the White Salmon Christian Assembly Church. One of her favorite scriptures was Psalms 100. In April 2002 Fannie moved to Hood River to be closer to her daughter. With her declining health in the last few years she was no longer able to attend church.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The King University women's wrestling team took a break from WCWA competition for the weekend as eight wrestlers competed at the NYCA Holiday International Tournament. Sarah Hildebrandt and Alli Ragan both took home gold medals, and Amanda Hendey turned in a silver medal performance.
Hildebrandt opened competitions at the 55 kg weight class with a 7-0 win over Yulianna Cantu in the quarterfinals. She followed that with a narrow 8-7 decision over Tamar Tillman in the semifinals before defeating Japan's Yuuki Ikegame 8-4 in the finals to take the gold medal. Prior to the finals, Ikegame won all of her matches by tech fall.
Ragan made quick work of her competition at the 59 kg weight class, defeating Kennon Henderson 8-0 in the quarterfinals before she defeated Brazil's Joice Souza Da Silva by fall in the semifinals. She then bested two-time defending tournament champion Michelle Fazzari of Canada 7-0 in the finals to take gold. Ragan was also named Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournament.
At the 63 kg weight class, Hendey took wins by fall in the first round and the quarterfinals over Michele Muscato and Alexis Porter, respectively. She then took a 4-2 decision over Jennifer Page in the semifinals before falling to Japan's Yurika Itou 8-0 in the finals.
Samantha Klingel (51 kg) went 2-2 at the tournament while Haley Augello (51 kg) went 1-2. At 67 kg, Julia Salata and Lorrie Ramos both went 1-2 while Brittney Faust went 0-2 at 59 kg.
King will be in action again next Friday at the Missouri Valley Open and the Harry Garis International Duals.

Lucas Harrell threw 98 pitches Sunday, and most were very good.
One of his best, though, was met by a better swing, and that's all it takes to beat the Houston Astros these days.
Pedro Alvarez's drive down the left field line for an opposite-field home run was one of just four hits allowed by Harrell in seven innings of the Houston Astros' 1-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
"It was a sinker down and away," Harrell said of the Pirates' first ball out of the infield, with one out in the fifth. "I thought it was a really good pitch. He went down and got it. He's a big, strong guy and he slapped it out the other way. There's not much you can do about that."
Jeff Locke (4-1) allowed three hits over seven innings to win his fourth straight decision for Pittsburgh, which won for the eighth time in 10 games.
Through 6 1-3 innings, Alvarez's homer and a Travis Snider double were the only balls to leave the infield off Harrell (3-5), who had a single in a rare plate appearance for an American League pitcher.
"Today felt like the first game this season that I dominated both sides of the plate with my sinker," Harrell said. "(Catcher Carlos Corporan) did a great job with his homework. He had a really good game plan and I just followed along."
Pittsburgh's other chance at scoring came in the sixth, when Snider was thrown out at the plate by center fielder Brandon Barnes on a two-out single by Gaby Sanchez. The throw easily beat Snider, who put his shoulder into the chest of Corporan but could not jar the ball loose.
Harrell entered the game with the American League's fourth-best groundball-to-flyball ratio at 2.09, and pitched to form, inducing 13 groundouts.
"You could tell in the bullpen that he had a really good sinker today, so it was an easy game to call," Corporan said. "I just kept calling for sinkers because he was commanding it so well and they weren't hitting it. We probably threw a couple of curveballs and that was it. He pitched great."
So did Locke, who gave up one run or fewer for the fifth time in his past eight outings. He struck out four and walked three.
"'Pitched' is the imperative word," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Locke. "He was behind a number of counts, his first-pitch strikes were below 50 percent ... but that being said, he didn't give up anything. He was able to put a foot down, get balls on the ground when we needed them."
In his past six outings, Locke has allowed 21 hits and seven earned runs over 37 innings (1.70 ERA). Despite allowing the leadoff man to reach four times, Locke permitted a runner to reach second base only once.
"There were some pitches early on that were real good pitches that I felt I had real good command of, but there were times in the game that I fell behind 1-0, 2-0 and put them in some pretty good hitter's counts," Locke said. "But I was able to make pitches and use the defense."
The notoriously streaky Alvarez pushed his average above .200 for just the second time since the second game of the season. His eighth home run came on the first pitch.
Alvarez's most recent homer was Friday — a titanic shot that reached the Allegheny River. Hurdle quipped that his third baseman followed up arguably his longest career home run with perhaps his shortest.
Off to their best 44-game start since 1991, the Pirates (26-18) have the National League's third-best record. They won despite the absence of outfielder Andrew McCutchen, who was a late scratch because of soreness in his right knee.
A day after his 13-game scoreless streak came to an end, Mark Melancon worked a perfect eighth and Jason Grilli finished with a 1-2-3 ninth for his majors-leading 17th save.
The Astros, who won in 11 innings Saturday night, did not have an extra-base hit.
"Their guy (Locke) did a good job," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "He changed speeds, pitched to both sides of the plate and kept us away from the barrel. Sometimes you've got to tip your cap and give credit to the other guy."
NOTES: Astros SS Ronny Cedeno was scratched from the lineup late Sunday morning because of a sinus infection. ... Houston has won three of its 11 series played this season while Pittsburgh is 8-2-2 in its past 12 series. ... The Pirates are off Monday but then play on 16 consecutive days. They open up a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park on Tuesday. ... Astros LHP Dallas Keuchel will make his third start of the season in the opener of a three-game series in Kansas City on Monday.

Davie County high school plans unveiled
Davie County high school plans unveiled
After years of debate, Davie County is finally getting a look at plans for a new high school.
The school could hold up to 2,000 students, and the gym would hold about 2,000 people. A football stadium would hold 4,500 people.
The estimated cost for a new high school is about $53.7 million, and repurposing the current school would be about $2.6 million.
If the new design is approved and all contracts are awarded without delay, construction could be completed by 2016, with the first graduating class in 2017.
But some people are worried about tax increases and the current state of the economy.

MIAMI LAKES, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 22, 2014) - Fuse Science, Inc. (OTCQB: DROP) (www.fusescience.com, the "Company"), a consumer products and delivery technology company that is developing new, patent-pending technologies working to redefine how consumers receive energy, medicines, vitamins and minerals announced today announced its financial results for its fiscal year 2013 ending September 30, 2013.
"2013 proved to be a challenging cleanup year as the Company strived for the required capital to execute against its business plan and to continue its growth," stated Brian Tuffin, CEO of Fuse Science. "Unforeseen delays in the commercial efforts by leading retailers shifted revenue growth from the calendar fourth quarter 2013 to the calendar first quarter 2014, while at the same time creating significant strain on cash flow making it difficult for the Company to execute its business plan, including our marketing and advertising initiatives."
"Dramatic cost reductions and essential financing efforts were deployed to ensure the solvency and continued functionality of the business. The Company has been in a constant battle for working capital and we survived a very demanding year in 2013. However, in spite of these resource constraints, we did successfully establish critical points of national distribution and strategic partnerships that have created what we believe to be a solid foundation for growth in 2014 and beyond," added Tuffin.
"As we look ahead, additional working capital is essential to our forward strategy and we will require an increased share authorization by shareholders as well as a reverse split authorization to fully execute. These decisions are supported with confidence by the Company in facilitating the continued growth of the business, which is evidenced by the previously announced revenue results for our 2014 first quarter, ending December 31, 2013, in which we exceeded the net sales of fiscal year 2013. We remain confident in our strategy and the path forward with the anticipation of strategic announcements in the near future," concluded, Tuffin.
Key Financial Results Fiscal 2013 Ending September 30, 2013:
A full analysis of results for the period ended September 30, 2013 is available in the Company's Form 10-K, which is available on the Company's website at www.fusescience.com or within the Filings section of the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site located at www.sec.gov.

The Press Trust of India said the suspect had claimed to work for an Iranian news organization, a fact Indian police declined to confirm.
Though Indian authorities have not implicated Iran in the bombing, any leads that point in that direction could complicate India's delicate efforts to ward off growing Western pressure and maintain its strong economic ties with Tehran.
Energy-starved India remains a large market for Iranian oil, and those purchases could blunt the effect of intensified sanctions being imposed by the United States and European Union to force Iran to roll back its nuclear ambitions.
"India finds itself between a rock and a hard place over Iran," said Arundhati Ghose, a retired Indian diplomat. "It's a tough call for the government, but one that New Delhi will have to confront eventually."
Police arrested Syed Mohammed Kazmi on Tuesday after investigations showed he had been in touch with a suspect they believe may have stuck a magnetic bomb on an Israeli diplomat's car, police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said.
Police said they searched Kazmi's house over the past two days to gather evidence that might link him to the Feb. 13 attack, which wounded the diplomat's wife, her driver and two other people in a nearby car. Police did not say what evidence they found.
Kazmi, 50, was being questioned and was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday before being handed over to officials of the investigating agencies for further questioning, Bhagat said.
The New Delhi blast came the same day a bomb was discovered on an Israeli diplomat's car in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. The next day, three Iranians accidentally blew up their house in Thailand, and Israeli authorities said the similarity between their explosives and the two earlier bombs linked Iran to all three incidents.
Indian officials have refused to assign blame while the investigation continues.
Israel has accused Iran of waging a covert campaign of state terrorism and has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
If Kazmi's arrest and interrogation leads to evidence of Iran's involvement -- either directly or through its proxies -- in the New Delhi attack, the fallout could put India in a diplomatic quandary.
Iran is one of India's major suppliers of oil, accounting for 12 percent of its energy needs.
So far, India has fended off criticism for its growing economic ties with Iran by saying it does not heed unilateral sanctions, such as those being imposed by the United States and European Union.
"We have accepted sanctions that are made by the United Nations," Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai told reporters in Washington at a recent press briefing. "Other sanctions do not apply to us."
Western sanctions have made it harder for Indian companies to pay for Iranian oil, with international banks unwilling to handle transactions from Tehran without breaching the new American sanctions on Iran's financial earnings from oil.
Last month, India and Iran agreed to an arrangement for 45 percent of the $11 billion in annual oil payments to be made in Indian rupees, with the rest to be paid in a barter system.
Tehran is looking to trade oil for Indian-made machinery, iron and steel, minerals and automobiles, while Indian companies plan to invest in infrastructure projects in Iran including developing oil and gas fields, roads and railways.
India brushed off the international outrage over the blasts and said it would go ahead with a visit to Tehran this weekend by an Indian trade delegation headed by the commerce secretary.
"India needs the Iranian crude. It would be very difficult to find alternative sources of oil that would be acceptable to Indian refineries," a commerce ministry official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Many of India's aging oil refineries are configured to use Iranian crude oil. Retrofitting these refineries would be costly, the official said.
India is also looking after its strategic interests in Iran's neighbor Afghanistan, which India hopes to prevent from falling under the sway of its archrival, Pakistan, after the 2014 withdrawal of NATO troops.
India uses Iranian ports to send goods to Afghanistan as it scrambles to maintain influence there.
"India is now in a panic over what lies ahead in Afghanistan. The Americans are leaving Afghanistan; they are talking to the Taliban. India will find itself scrambling for access in Afghanistan," says K.C. Singh, a former Indian ambassador to Iran.
To this end, India is helping develop the southern Iranian port of Chabahar and a rail link that will offer it direct access to Afghanistan.
New Delhi has not remained completely immune to sanction pressures and is slowly easing its dependence on Iranian oil.
Trends show a gradual decline in Iranian oil imports, with a temporary spike in January due to the bunching of earlier supplies that were delayed due to payment hurdles.
India has also developed close ties with Israel after diplomatic relations were established in 1992, and Tel Aviv has emerged as an important arms supplier.

In Sri Lanka, The two proclaimed heroes of Sri Lanka's recently-ended civil war are facing off in the country's presidential election Tuesday. Both openly accuse the other of war crimes. The election is being closely watched by international agencies and donor governments.
During his final election rally President Mahinda Rajapaksa sat with key political allies and Buddhist monks on a stage replicating an ancient royal palace.
Singers praised Mr. Rajapaksa as both a man of the people and a modern day king who vanquished the rebel Tamil Tigers, ending a quarter century of civil war.
The former general to whom others give credit for the military victory, Sarath Fonseka, is the main contender vying to unseat the incumbent. He leads a diverse opposition coalition with seemingly incompatible views on crucial issues. The close contest has gone beyond just nasty political rhetoric alleging war crimes, corruption and incompetence.
Analyst Pakiasothy Saravanamuttu of the Center for Policy Alternatives says the campaign has seen hundreds of serious acts of violence, including several killings.
"So what it does suggest is that there is a violence embedded in the political culture of the country and that it is a zero-sum political culture. And, therefore, literally, not just metaphorically, parties go to war with each other in an electoral contest," he said.
Pakiasothy says a big election day concern is how extensive balloting in Tamil-dominated districts will be disrupted.
"The issue here is going to be whether there will be violence and intimidatory activity which will prevent people from getting to polling stations," he said.
General Fonseka predicts desperate supporters of President Rajapaksa will do exactly that.
"They'll come on the road on election day. There will be a lot of violence to intimidate the people, to turn the voters back because there's no other way out for them. They already lost the election," he said.
Despite the threats, retired Supreme Court Justice C.V. Wigneswaran tells VOA News he has been urging his fellow Tamils to replace the legacy of Tamil rebel bullets with ballots.
"Despite all these heavy odds against them, of various groups trying to prevent them [from voting] or even Army collaboration in these matters, they must come forward and go to vote," he said.
The former judge says he spurned offers to run for President as a Tamil candidate, saying it is obvious only a Sinhalese can win. He says the former general who waged war on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is the preferred choice at the ballot box for Sri Lanka's minorities.
Fonseka enjoys support of many of the members of Parliament from the Tamil National Alliance, the political wing of the defeated rebels.
In his last speech to supporters before campaigning drew to a close, President Rajapaksa reached out to the hundreds of thousands of Tamils displaced by the blood-filled chaos of the civil war's final months last year.
The President says he will win the hearts of the Tamils in the North and the East and make certain terrorism does not resurface.
Both Mr. Rajapaksa and his former top general express confidence they will be victorious.
For the challenger, it has been a difficult task to get out his message to the masses.
The international organization Reporters Without Borders says state media, during the campaign, allocated more than 98 percent of its news and current affairs air time to the president. The group says those figures put Sri Lanka in the same league as the regimes in Burma or North Korea.

If your ancestor was an Irish born member of the British Merchant Marine from September 1918 to December 1921, you are in genealogical luck. The IRISH MARINERS web site has an online index of 23,000 Irish born seamen, with some Canadian seamen as well. The index is the key to a collection of cards in the Southampton Civic Archives. The cards themselves contain photos, personal information, and voyage details. The Irish Mariners site is fascinating to visit even if you do not have mariners of that time in your tree. Some of the photos of the young Irish men about to go off to sea are precious. Link to the website below.
If your family has tales of navy men among your ancestors, be sure to check the British naval records in the National Archives (U.K.). The Archives web page has a fantastic search engine, plus more records are being digitized and placed online as time goes on, so don't forget to check it often. Link to Archives' Naval Service records below.
I want to send a big THANK YOU to a few fellow researchers who alerted me to the Irish Mariners site: Jack Langton of the Castlecomer mailing list, Pat Connors of Connors Genealogy, and Michael of the County Carlow IGP site and Carlow mailing list. I would like to mention the hard work of the many independent site owners such as Pat and Michael, plus the tireless volunteers who maintain the Irish Genealogical Project pages. These individuals give their time and effort to bring free online records to Irish researchers everywhere. Links to their sites below.

Dianne Feinstein, born June 22, 1933 (age 85), is the Senior United States Senator from California and a member of the Democratic Party.
Political career
Dianne Feinstein's career in liberal politics began when Governor Pat Brown appointed her to the California Women's Board of Terms and Parole. She would go on to get elected to the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors. Feinstein became Mayor of San Francisco in 1978 upon the assassination of Mayor George Moscone. She was elected in 1979 and then reelected in 1983. In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale seriously considered her for vice president, but passed her over for Geraldine Ferraro.[1] In 1990, Feinstein made an unsuccessful bid for Governor of California, losing to Republican Senator Pete Wilson. However, she did win his Senate seat in a special election and has been reelected three times. When coming into office Feinstein distanced herself from the Clinton administration. She voted against the North American Free Trade Agreement and opposed the 1993 Clinton Health Care Plan. Feinstein was reelected in 1994 by a 47%-45% margin, in what was one of the most closely watched elections that year.
Feinstein is currently the Chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. She endorsed Hillary Clinton for President in June 2007, and later pushed her for the vice presidential nomination. Dianne Feinstein was mentioned as a possible candidate for Governor of California again in 2010, however in February 2010 she announced she would not be running for Governor.
Political positions
Feinstein supported the Iraq war resolution in the vote of October 11, 2002 but has said she was misled by the President. She is also strongly opposed to 2nd amendment rights, one of her first accomplishments in the Senate was passing an assault weapons ban and she unsuccessfully sponsored legislation that would require licensing of all guns. While she is not considered a conservative, Feinstein is considered more moderate than most Democrats from the San Francisco Bay Area. Feinstein supports the USA PATRIOT Act saying it helps the "protection of the American people." She supported the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and supported the GOP's Medicare prescription-drug bill in 2003. She is also a supporter of capital punishment and was the main Democratic sponsor of the 2006 constitutional flag burning amendment.
On other issues Dianne Feinstein is quite liberal. She has a solidly pro-abortion voting record. Feinstein called Guantanamo Bay detention camp a "failed experiment" and believes it should be shut down.
Corruption issues
After Feinstein's unsuccessful gubernatorial race in 1990, she was fined $190,000 for failure to properly report campaign contributions.
In 2003, Feinstein was ranked the fifth wealthiest senator, with an estimated net worth of $26 million. By 2005 her net worth had increased up to $99 million. Her 347-page financial disclosure statement draws clear lines between her assets and those of her husband, with many of her assets in blind trusts.
In January 2009, the issue was raised whether Feinstein violated Senate ethics rules to avoid appearances of conflicts of interest when she introduced legislation that gave $25 billion to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to help finance an FDIC proposal to avoid home foreclosures by promoting loan workouts and increasing federal loan guarantees. Just before the FDIC had signed a contract with CBRE, her husband's firm, to unload foreclosed properties for prices higher than industry averages. Spokesmen for the FDIC, Feinstein and CBRE said there was no connection between the legislation and the contract and that the couple didn't know about CBRE's business with FDIC until after it was awarded.[2]

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- President Barack Obama is urging congress to approve new restrictions in an effort to prevent mass shootings like the Newtown school massacre.
"If there was even one thing we could do to reduce this violence, if there's even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try," President Obama said. "And I'm going to do my part."
The President signed 23 executive orders as part of a new, $500 million program. The proposal calls for four main changes: close background check loopholes, ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, make schools safer, and increase access to mental health services.
News 4 has talked to people on all sides of the issue, including St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch.
Chief Fitch says the 15-page proposal called "Now is the Time" is mostly a "feel good" effort to tackle a real problem. He doesn't think a lot of the proposal will work in practice, but he is in favor of sweeping changes to background checks and mental health services.
However Fitch says he doesn't think a ban on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines is the answer. He points to his own duty weapon and the 12-round clip that goes in it. The new proposal would limit that clip to 10 rounds.
"The weapons that we've seen are not machine guns, aren't automatic weapons; they were just like a revolver or a pistol where we have to pull a round every time. Now what the argument is, is that he had a high-capacity magazine—more than 10 rounds—that you can get more bullets out faster. That's true, but all you have to do is have more magazines," Chief Fitch explained. "Just like the police carry multiple magazines, it takes me about a second and a half to reload a magazine, so really, if you restrict the magazine capacity, and say we have 10 bullets instead of 12 in a clip, really all the mass shooter has to do at that point is practice reloading skills."
St. Louis County issued more than 5,000 permits for conceal and carry just last year. But the chief says, current background checks don't do much to keep anyone safe because there's no way to check a gun owner's mental health history.
"We need a database, a computerized database with accurate, contemporary information that we can check to see if they've been committed to a mental health facility," Chief Fitch said. "Today, we can't tell that."
Sean Johnson, charged with a shooting at the Stevens Institute of Business and Arts, is a good example. Known to have a history of mental illness, the student allegedly got his hands on an illegal weapon and shot his financial aid director in downtown St. Louis on Tuesday.
"Today we don't have a place to take someone like that. Back in the day we had institutional locations where we could take people like that," Chief Fitch said. "Today everybody like that is just main stream and hopefully stay on their medicine."
The proposal also calls for more money to fund school resource officers and counselors, but the chief would like to see that go even further to train and arm qualified staff.

By MONICA MODY, author of "Travel & Risk" and two other chapbooks. Her first book, "Kala Pani," is forthcoming from 1913 Press. She is currently a PhD.candidate in East-West Psychology at CIIS
Here at the East-West Psychology program we are trying to find new ways to reconnect or bring into conversation dualities such as the self and the world, body and earth, psyche and spirit, art and scholarship, being and activism. We are interested in how myth and symbol and dreams work, and in their relationship to the healing of the planet, of the self.
The myths that live in our unconscious contain us and contain our world. This is why a project to re-enchant the self and the world requires re-enchanted myths: alive, vital, continually opening, in relationship.
As a poet, my task is to add to the repertoire of myths that can participate in this re-enchanting, healing, re-awakening. Through the last year, I wrote a sequence of myths attempting to do that. One of them is below. You can read some other myths from the sequence at Lantern Review and Pyrta.
"Don't be satisfied with the stories that come before you; unfold your own myth."
This poem first appeared on The The Poetry Journal as the poem of the week in November 2012.
Myth of Cosmos
It stands outside of myself, something round, flecked with spit, like a moon«
growing out of my nails, moon« of phenomenal lactescence.
I push my head into the roundess & a cloud« is my face
& I see particles of mist« floating away.
There's nothing I can do or limb or crook of elbow, inutile
& something is growing under my tongue, a word, a love«
A deer falls from my eyes, rolls down my cheek, & I name
the cloud« with the overgrown tongue
& a brush of flowers falls on my face
to toe I'm blessed, blessing
painted on my nails my palms I d«ance, palm flashing thigh buckling
silvered belly stars.
