Is there a Cheesecake Factory in Macomb County's future?
That's the buzz in a number of restaurants along Hall Road (M-59) as some say the iconic restaurant and bar is headed to the location currently held by the Tin Fish nightclub at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township.
Township officials say they've received no paperwork for a pending change.
'The rumors are out there, I know I've heard them,' said Clinton Township Planning Director Carlo Santia.
Fueling the speculation is a recent announcement that a Cheesecake Factory will open its first Michigan location at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi later this year. It will fill the vacancy created when a Tin Fish eatery quietly closed its doors in February.
Both malls are owned by the Taubman Centers.
Wendy Batiste-Johnson, general manager at Partridge Creek, said she can't comment on the shopping center's current affairs and the future of its tenants.
'I can definitely confirm there is a Cheesecake Factory coming to our sister location at Twelve Oaks,' she said. 'We're happy that Twelve Oaks will have the state's first Cheesecake Factory. If we have a new restaurant coming here, we will let you know.'
A spokeswoman for Cheeseback Factory said the Twelve Oaks location will open in August.
'We don't have any other updates on Detroit other than (Twelve Oaks),' spokeswoman Susan Pasarow said in an email.
Tin Fish, which opened its 8,000-square-foot location at Partridge Creek in 2007, has encountered financial problems over the past year, according to court records.
Partridge Creek in February filed a lawsuit against Tin Fish for failing to pay more than $400,000 in back rent. A hearing was cancelled at the last minute after the two parties arrived at a settlement. Documents at 41B District Court show the case was dismissed but offered no further details.
With Tin Fish gearing up to open a new location at the former Beach Grill nightclub in St. Clair Shores, there has been speculation that it may close the Partridge Creek location. Tin Fish owner Candis Koch has not responded to The Macomb Daily's inquiries about the venue, and employees last week said they had no information on whether the Tin Fish was closing.
Cheesecake Factory, which has more than 160 locations in nearly three dozen states, is an upscale restaurant with an full-service menu that includes a variety of steaks, seafood and pasta, along with a dessert menu that boasts more than two dozen cheesecake offerings.
Clinton Township Supervisor Bob Cannon said he asked Partridge Creek officials about the rumor during a recent luncheon.
'When I had lunch with the mall general manager, I asked her that point plank and she said she had nothing to confirm,' Cannon said. 'If a Cheesecake Factory does open there, I think it would be yet another big draw, another destination location for Partridge Creek.'


text: Thanks everyone. Don had an appointment with his wound people this morning. The wound was closing and becoming more shallow but this morning it was worse. And yes... it is a life or death decision. I have tried to stress that to him. He MUST stay off the wound and out of his chair at the very least. The wound genesis was as a result of a skin staph infection with lesions on his lower extremities. He was on a course of Bactrim and they pretty much cleared up, except he was obsessed with the lesions and kept picking at them. The one on his right buttock he didn't pick at but when I looked at it a couple of months ago, it was tenting. I begged him to go to the wound people and he sat on the wound for a week before going in. By then they debrided it and it was already tunneling at that time... About the size of a quarter and about 2 cm deep. They tried packing it and that helped a little but now he is on a wound vac. This morning I noticed the appearance of a stage 1 area outside of the sacrum wound and inferior to the buttock wound... The skin is still intact but it doesn't look good. The wound care people sent him to the VA wheelchair clinic (where he got his chair and cushion) for emergency evaluation. I am home in Colorado Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesday mornings and then I go to my job at the University of Chicago on Wednesday afternoons and work there Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I teach at the Med School and do research there. I'm hoping that his wound is not infected but I suspect it is... His insurance outside the VA is good but if this goes south, which I think it is, then I think he should be evaluated at the VA. Yes... the odds are against him with or without treatment. I was his caregiver for 12 years after injury to the detriment of my profession and now that I have a really good faculty position, his condition is deteriorating because I am not there. While I was taking care of Don for those 12 years, he did really well...but his age and this wound/skin issue is really taking a toll. Thanks Patrick for sharing your story... it is appreciated more than you know.

Department of grain science and industry introduces bulk solids training
Individuals who are responsible for handling and processing bulk solids in the grain, feed, biofuels, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries may want to attend Kansas State University's Bulk Solids Handling, Storage and Flow course planned for Nov. 11-14 at the International Grains Program Conference Center, 1980 Kimball Ave., in partnership with the bulk solid equipment industry, Kice Industries, Vortex and Fike Corp.
"Currently, the grain and powder industry from flour milling to biofuels, to pharmaceutical companies, lack an opportunity for continuing education in the technical areas that involve handling and processing bulk solids. This course will benefit the industry by allowing participants to fortify their skills and also understand the latest technology from the equipment industry," said Carlos Campabadal, program specialist in grain storage and feed manufacturing at Kansas State University.
The course focuses on handling, transportation and storage technologies and methods, and common bulk solids flow problems. Participants will learn about the science and engineering of bulk solids from Kansas State faculty, other university instructors and industry experts in practical classroom and hands-on sessions. Bulk solids handling and flow equipment are located in the Hal Ross Flour Mill and O.H. Kruse Feed Technology Innovation Center. Additionally, the newest powder characterization technologies, available in the Bulk Solids and Particle Technology Research Laboratory, will be utilized for instruction. The course will also include an on-site visit to a bulk solids handling equipment manufacturer.
Course instructor and grain science faculty member Kingsly Ambrose said, "This initiative, started in collaboration with industry and academic experts, will focus on understanding the bulk and particle characteristics of granular materials and will help in delivering a uniform granular product to the consumer."
With his current experimental research and modeling approaches, Ambrose is focused on developing practical solutions to bulk solids handling issues faced by the industry. His current research areas include milling technologies, process simulation, handling techniques for solids with caking potential, grain dust explosions, and characterization of powders for their particle and flow characteristics.
"This new course is an exciting opportunity to expand our continuing education offerings in partnership with the bulk solids industry," said Dirk Maier, grain science and industry department head and director of the International Grains Program. "The investment the bulk solids industry has made in our facilities and programs, and the faculty expertise we have on-board at Kansas State, make for a winning public-private partnership effort."
To register for this course or learn about other training opportunities offered by International Grains Program, please visit the International Grains Program website.
This is just one example of the trainings offered through International Grains Program. In addition to feed manufacturing and grain management, the International Grains Program offers trainings in the areas of flour milling and grain processing, and grain marketing and risk management.

Waikato Regional Council is supporting a popular bar crossing education day being run by Raglan Coastguard next month.
With the number of motorcycles on Waikato roads expected to swell over the Labour long weekend and coming weeks, riders are being urged to first check their bikes are road ready.
The final results for the 2013 Waikato Regional Council elections are now available online.
Issued on behalf of Sea Change
A big turnout at two forums held as part of developing a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) for the Hauraki Gulf "Sea Change" project bodes well for its success, says the chair of the project's board Dr Roger Blakeley.
Joint release from Waikato District Council and Waikato Regional Council
A joint Waikato District Council and Waikato Regional Council hearings committee has approved the issuing of consents to a Fonterra subsidiary for an open cast coal mine at Mangatangi, 2.5 kilometres east of Mangatawhiri, in north Waikato.
Farmers and rural media are being reminded that they are invited to a field day at Whatawhata on Thursday 24 October which will discuss ways of boosting farm profits and improving environmental protection.
The Waikato region has seen its largest ever fine imposed for deliberately discharging dairy effluent to a stream. The stream involved flows directly to the Waikato River.
A Te Awamutu farmer has received 10 convictions and been fined $47,000 for illegally discharging dairy effluent into the environment.
Issued on behalf of the Waikato Mayoral Forum
Waikato's economic story is largely one of "unrealised potential" which will require the region to leverage its geographic location, according to a major discussion paper released today.
Waikato Regional Council has eight new councillors based on progress results received by 4pm today.
Boaties are being urged to take extra care when refuelling or discharging bilge water from their vessels following the discovery of a small diesel spill near the Coromandel wharf earlier today.

"Why would you want to be anywhere else?"
People wanting to make a difference when it comes to the health of the Waikato and Waipa rivers are being asked to consider putting their names forward as one of four community representatives on a Collaborative Stakeholder Group.
A 10-month review of Waikato's bus network has been completed and will inform route improvements being considered by Waikato Regional Council over the next year.
Recent research indicated about 80 per cent of Waikato people intended to vote in this year's regional council elections but, with just over a week to Election Day 12 October, figures indicate actions so far are falling well short of intentions.
The first water take consents for farmers to be issued under a less costly "group consenting" process are about go out the door from Waikato Regional Council.

Tooling Update
Five-Axis Machining Center Brings Sustained Accuracy to Large Part and Die Production
Makino, Mason, OH, introduces the newest addition to its family of five-axis vertical machining centers, the D800Z. Joining the Makino D-Series (D300 and D500), the D800Z is designed for high-performance job shops, precision parts machining, die/mold and aerospace applications.
Like the other two D-Series machines, the D800Z offers easy access to the spindle and table, a highly rigid structure for responsive cutting and good surface finishes. Load it up with workpieces as large as 1000-mm dia., weighing as much as 1200 kg.
Use the five-axis capability of the machine in five-face milling mode to minimize setup, optimize access to complex multisided parts and reduce cycle times; or to address the demanding angular, blending, matching, fine-surface finishes and 3D accuracy requirements of die components.
Feed rates tops out at 36,000 mm/min. on the X, Y and Z axes, and 18,000 deg./min. (50 RPM) on the B and X axes.Makino: 800/552-3288; www.makino.com

Joe Hesting got himself an Ace this past Saturday at the Disc Unlimited Open, in Herington, KS. I believe it was hole 18, straight tunnel shot. I think he said it was a skip Ace, but, I'll let him confirm that. I didn't see it, but, saw a picture, and I was there on the course. Good enough for me. Nice Ace Joe!
Tony = KCDiscDawg?Tony hit an Ace. WOW! And to think you almost missed the very last card if it wasn't for Jack and I yelling at CD and Van to let you join on hole 1.Seriously, good job Tony. Wished we stuck around for another few holes to hear the hollerin'.Rob (HomeBrewmeister) Martin
Sounds like Rob owes you $5, Tony.
I'll bring some beers and pop next time

I've just about reached the limit of Waterfront Trail I can explore in comfortable walking distance from our house, making a one-hour loop. Soon I'll have to start driving to different spots on the trail and walking from there. Depending on the weather, this might happen next Spring.
I bought a whole set of trail maps from the Waterfront folks. Yes, I know you can print out sections from .pdfs, but I wanted the entire trail. It would cost more in ink cartridges than it would to purchase them, and the quality wouldn't be as good. They came in a spiral binder with a plastic cover.
As the leaves fall, I'm making plans for winter exercise, either buying a treadmill or joining a pool. I can exercise at home with no problem, and if I'm just going to walk on a treadmill and use weights, I'd just as soon skip the driving and do it at home. Only one thing could sufficiently motivate me to get in my car to exercise, and that's swimming.
I'm in the midst of investigating my swimming options. The Mississauga YMCA has a pool, and it's not far from me; there are also pools at two nearby high schools that have some public hours. I'll be checking those out soon.
Meanwhile, here are some scenes from yesterday's walk.

you are right, a lovely winter, BUT a very bad sign for the summer to come. As I am sure you already know, Canada may be cold in the winter but we are one hot country in the summer. No snow is a bad recipie for drought and one hell of a lot of forest fires.
We all love mild winters but then every summer we complain about them, I am one of them. I hate snow, but....

Well here in Vancouver we have had something like 2 plus weeks of daily rain and it's only about 10C. We have 70cm of snow up at Blackholm and it's snowing at the local mountain tops which is about 10 mins from the house but 1300 m higher. The mountains opened today.
I've heard this is a TO thing because it certainly isn't that way here on the west coast. Just feel lucky and enjoy the weather while it lasts. It seems fall has moved quicker over here on the west coast. But I love love the photos. :) thanks laura.

No snow is a bad recipie for drought and one hell of a lot of forest fires.
Everyone I speak to in the GTA says it's too early for snow anyway. They all say it's rare to have snow before late November or early December here.

Spectacular scenery. Reminds me of the eastern shore of Maryland a bit.
It has been mid 60's during the day here in Greece, and people are saying its cold. They wear winter coats on their balconies! Crazy warm weather people.

I dont know about you, but I feel sick to my stomache when I hear about weather like that. It just shouldnt be that warm in November. It may seem nice, but you have to ask the question, "is this REALLY normal? I think it's really scary.

I know what you're saying, and I agree, but any given weather aberration is not attributable to global warming. There have always been warm spells in colder months. You can look back at weather almanacs and see that.

Crazy weather in Vermont:
On the night of June 5, 1816, tempertures dropped 50 degrees, and a wet snow fell the next day throughout the state.
On June 7, a blizzard struck northern Vermont, with several inches in the valleys and 12 inches in Craftsbury Common.
Freezing weather continued for three more days. July, August and September all experienced cold periods.
The freak weather resulted in a loss of summer's crops. 1816 was referred to as "The Year Without a Summer".

Just for a bit of contrast - up here in the Yukon, we're off to a pretty good winter! *Good* meaning, it's looking to be a chilly winter with plenty of snow. That's been the pattern the last few years after a really rainy summer.
Over the last few days our temps have been -20C (1F) which I have to admit, has seemed damned cold this early!!! But the first few cold snaps usually hit you that way. Soon enough we'll all be bounding around outside regardless of the crazy weather. Speaking of that, I'm heading out for the first skijor of the year!!
Anyways L, enjoy your extended fall!

Hey, there's nothing about a mild winter that says a drought has to follow! :)
Oh, the weather outside's delightful
Though it hardly seems it's rightful
But shoveling snow's a pain...
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
It might get a little foggy,
But a car crash leaves you groggy
From lamenting ice I'll refrain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
When it's finally Christmas Eve,
I'll relent; let it smother the ground...
Just as long as come Boxing Day
None of it's lying around!
Yeah, the weather outside is balmy
Think I'll go and mow the lawny
...In Victoria, anyway...
Let it raaaaain
Let it raaaaain
Let it raaaaain.

Lovely pictures! I can see why you love so much walking, very beautiful place! I know this might be out of the blue, but I am wondering why big cities are always builded by the water? Either by the ocean or the a river or a lake....just curious. Anyways Windsor also has a beautiful sidewalk like yours by the Detroit River.

Hi Gito! New picture, I see. :)
Cities have always been built on the water because, throughout all of history, water was the means of transportation. Trade and travel happened by boat.
This goes back to the very earliest cities in the world - and it's true all over the globe.
It's also why the oldest part of any city is near the river or lake or harbor. The city started there and grew inland.

Budget 2012: 'Super-connected cities' and video games tax credits
Chancellor George Osborne has announced which cities will benefit from a £100m pot of Treasury cash aimed at making them "super-connected".
These are London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle.
Mr Osborne also announced a further £50m to improve net access in 10 unnamed "smaller cities".
He said that he wanted the UK to become "Europe's technology centre".
The super-connected cities were first announced in Mr Osborne's autumn statement, when he pledged £100m to create 100Mbps (megabit per second) citywide networks in 10 urban areas.
By 2015 it is hoped the investments in cities will provide ultrafast broadband coverage to 1.7 million households and high-speed wireless broadband for three million residents.
Motorway reception
The chancellor also announced plans to extend mobile coverage to 60,000 rural homes and along at least 10 key roads by 2015, including the A2 and A29 in Northern Ireland, the A57, A143, A169, A352, A360 and A591 in England, the A82(T) in Scotland and the A470(T) in Wales, subject to planning permission.
Funding would come out of the £150m investment announced in the autumn statement.
The government will also consider whether direct intervention is required to improve mobile coverage for rail passengers.
Seb Lahtinen, co-founder of broadband news site Think Broadband, said the move was "part of a drive to ensure that not only is the UK the best in Europe in terms of broadband speeds, but can compete on an international stage against countries like South Korea".
"The announcement by the chancellor is a recognition of the fact that broadband technology underpins the economy as a whole, and in particular the digital content industries in this country," he added.
Others felt that money would be better spent in improving rural broadband.
"Whilst funding earmarked for ultra-fast broadband in 10 UK cities is both ambitious and heartening, and will undoubtedly benefit technology companies looking to develop and expand in the UK, the primary concern should be the provision of a quality service to rural areas before pursuing the title of fastest broadband in the world," said Julia Stent, director of telecoms at price comparison site Uswitch.
"Although there are still broadband blackspots and speed issues in some urban areas of the UK, we worry that the major towns and cities will speed ahead of the rest of the country in the premature quest to become fastest in the world."

Identified more than 100 years ago by Camillo Golgi, the Golgi is a series of flattened cisternae that acts as a critical sorting and processing station for intracellular traffic. It receives cargo in vesicles exported from the endoplasmic reticulum and then dispatches this to the plasma membrane for secretion or directs it to other organelles, such as endosomes. The Golgi also plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism: It is the major site for attachment of sugar moieties to proteins.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology includes contributions that review the current models for Golgi traffic and detail the functions of the cargo carrying machinery, such as the COPI and COPII vesicles, the glycosidases and glycosyltransferases that determine the oligosaccharide composition of the cargo, the various sorting signals, GTPases, and adaptor proteins involved, and the tethers and SNAREs that mediate vesicle fusion and deliver the cargo to the next compartment on the pathway. The contributors also examine recent insights into Golgi architecture and positioning, and the way the Golgi fragments and regenerates during cell division.
This volume, which includes discussions of Golgi bypass mechanisms, the evolution and diversity of the Golgi, and the involvement of Golgi in development and human inherited diseases, serves as a comprehensive reference for all cell biologists interested in this intriguing organelle.

automobile industry
automobile industry, the business of producing and selling self-powered vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, farm equipment, and other commercial vehicles. By allowing consumers to commute long distances for work, shopping, and entertainment, the auto industry has encouraged the development of an extensive road system, made possible the growth of suburbs and shopping centers around major cities, and played a key role in the growth of ancillary industries, such as the oil and travel businesses. The auto industry has become one of the largest purchasers of many key industrial products, such as steel. The large number of people the industry employs has made it a key determinant of economic growth.

David Koch: Billion-dollar delegate
TAMPA, Fla. – The Republican National Convention seems a strange place for a press-shy billionaire benefactor of iconoclastic libertarian causes that have vexed GOP leaders — including the anti-establishment tea party movement.
Yet there was David Koch sitting on the convention floor Tuesday, smiling broadly, applauding — even clapping to a rendition of the Isley Brothers' hit "Shout" after the roll call vote that formalized Mitt Romney's nomination — and making polite chit-chat with a steady stream of well-wishers.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Full coverage of the Republican convention )
"I love the introductions," Koch said to an old friend named Ron Gidwitz, referring to the short and braggadocios floor speeches by delegation chairs during the roll call. "I love the sense of humor," he added to Gidwitz, an Illinois investor and delegate.
Even though David Koch's equally politically active brother Charles has kept his distance from the organized GOP, a number of operatives in Tampa told POLITICO that David Koch's presence as a delegate from New York here sent a strong message that the Kochs' expanding political operation is becoming a more reliable adjunct of the Republican Party.
"You most certainly can read that into it," said one GOP money man, who had previously described the relationship between Koch World and the Rove groups as somewhere between rivalry and collaboration.
It's a shift that has far-reaching implications for national politics in November and beyond. That's because the Koch brothers — whose controlling stakes in their eponymous chemical, oil and household products conglomerate give them a combined net worth of $ 50 billion — are planning to steer nearly $400 million to favored conservative groups ahead of Election Day.
( PHOTOS: Scenes from the GOP convention 2012)
Some of the biggest recipients of that cash, notably Americans for Prosperity — which was co-founded and is chaired by David Koch and is holding a reception Thursday in Tampa honoring him — have prided themselves on bucking GOP orthodoxy by pressuring Republicans from the right on fiscal issues.
Though several Koch-backed groups coordinated their 2010 efforts with more overtly GOP-allied groups like those co-founded by Karl Rove, Americans for Prosperity bowed out of the rolling coordination meetings organized by Rove. And top Republican operatives worried after the midterms that the Kochs might not play well with the party mainstream in 2012.
But Koch's turn as a delegate to the GOP convention — his first — from his adopted home state should quell those concerns. It's a coming-out party of sorts at the end of a behind-the-scenes political evolution from a free-enterprise purist who was the Libertarian Party's 1980 vice presidential nominee to one of the most influential players in Republican big-money politics.
But it's not just his wealth that sets David Koch apart from many delegates here. He and his wife, Julia, donated about $75,000 to Democrat Andrew Cuomo's successful 2010 New York gubernatorial campaign, and he maintains some stances that are out of step with many Republicans — supporting gay marriage and stem cell research, for instance, while opposing the Iraq War.
Still, in addition to the hundreds of millions in largely undisclosed contributions he has given and steered to fiscally conservative groups through his family's foundations and the twice-a-year donor summits organized by Koch Industries, Koch in recent years has become a big giver to overtly Republican groups. Since 2010, he's given $3 million to the Republican Governors Association and at least $150,000 to the New York Republican Party, and this summer he hosted a $ 50,000-a-head fundraiser for Romney at his Hamptons beach estate.

It Most Certainly IS Constitutional To Withhold Congressional Pay
By J.J. Jackson
March 4, 2013
There are a lot of fools who fancy themselves smart. Sometimes these fools even exist within the Conservative and Libertarian movement. Seriously, if I hear one more of these yo-yos whine about how it is "unconstitutional" for Congressional pay to be withheld pending the passage of an actual budget, I am going to scream. And if I hear one more supposedly Constitutionally literate talking head on the right claim this, I am going to demand that they permanently turn in their membership in the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Is it not so utterly incomprehensible that people can be so dumb as to claim that withholding Congressional pay when Congress is not doing its job is impossible? Especially when all one has to do is pull out their handy dandy pocket Constitution and turn to Article I, Section 6.
Here is what is says, verbatim, about Congressional pay:
"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States."
That's it. It doesn't say how much they should get or how that amount is ascertained, except that such pay is to be determined, by law.
So, if a law is passed saying that Congress gets paid $0 if they don't do their job and pass a budget then there is no Constitutional conflict. After all, $0 is an amount of compensation.
So let's stop with the lies. Let's stick to the truth. And let's all just be happy and do the right things.
Look, if you're like me, and work in the private sector, and don't do your job, you don't get paid. Congress should be held to the same standards. And it is perfectly Constitutional to hold them to said standards.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Charles Darwin earned almost 4,000 write-in votes against a Georgia congressman who denounced evolution and other scientific theories as "lies straight from the pit of hell."
The symbolic votes in Athens-Clarke County were a small percentage of more than 209,000 votes won by Republican Rep. Paul Broun in his unopposed re-election Tuesday.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports (http://bitly.com/XnDtgG ) that write-in totals weren't immediately available for the other 24 counties in his district.
Broun gave a speech to a church group on Sept. 27 lambasting evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory. Critics urged voters to write in the 19th-century British naturalist who is considered the father of evolution.

NEW YORK – Competing in the same facility in which the 2014 America East Indoor Championships will be held, the UMBC track and field team continued its success with Retrievers breaking two school records and winning six events, in addition to the women's 4x400, at the NYU Team Challenge at the New York Armory.
After missing out on the school record in the 1,000m last week by just .02, senior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) took hold of the 800m Retriever record by winning the event in New York with a time of 1:51.30. His time is over a second improvement from his previous best (1:52.92), set during his sophomore season, and eclipses Michael Christmas' mark of 1:52.78 set during the 2010-11 season. Having already qualified for the IC4A meet to be held in March, Smith's time from New York meets the regional standard as well.
Junior Charles Bolinger (Bowie, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) finished tenth in the event with a season-best time of 1:56.35.
The Retriever distance crew shined at the Armory as sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) also broke a school record on Friday, claiming the top spot in the 3,000m run. Omar slotted his name at the top of the list for the event by pacing the field with a time of 8:23.50 to slide past Greg Saylor's 2004 time of 8:26.00 and meet the IC4A standard. Senior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River) was not far back for UMBC, finishing fourth with a personal-best time of 8:38.24.
In the one-mile race, senior Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) recorded a personal-best time of 4:10.23, the fourth-fastest in program history, to qualify for the IC4As in Boston. Sophomore Nick Johnson (Olney, Md./Sherwood) was four spot back of Albino, in eighth, with a time of 4:20.84.
Two Retrievers set new personal-bests in the pole vault as senior Liam Stott (Carrboro, N.C./Chapel Hill) cleared 4.45m (14'7.00") and sophomore Caitlyn Davis (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) cleared 3.15m (10'4.00"). Stott takes over tenth all-time while Davis moves up to second in the women's top-ten.
Junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) recorded a season-best in the weight throw with a toss of 15.91m (52'2.50").
In the triple jump, freshman Abigale Slonski (Griswold, Conn./Griswold) leapt her way up to fifth all-time at UMBC with a try of 10.77m (35'4.00"). Davis, meanwhile, recorded a personal-best of 9.66m (31'8.50") in the event.
For the Retriever women on the track, junior Kalane' Abbey (Laurel, Md./Laurel), senior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet), and junior Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) all claimed event wins for the Retrievers.
Abbey posted a season-best time of 58.12 to win the 400m dash while Jones took the 500m title with a personal-best time of 1:14.54, which ranks third in Retrievers history. In addition, Jones placed third in the 200m with a time of 25.34. Junior Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) and senior Deborah Adelola (Lanham, Md./Bladensburg) also finished in the top-ten in the 500m, taking third and seventh, respectively.
In the 800m run, Daly just edged out teammate Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) to take the top honor. The junior crossed the line at 2:14.97, just ahead of Mezebish at 2:15.97.
Sophomore Angelina Oputa (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton) and senior Kirsten McGovern (Sykesville, Md./Century) also broke into the top-ten in the Big Apple. Oputa set a career-best of 5:14.99 in the mile while McGovern registered a top-time of 10:24.53 in the 3,000m run.
In the sprints, junior Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) led a trio of Retrievers into the finals of the 60m dash, eventually taking second place. Sophomore D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md./North East) took fifth while freshman Nailah Johnson (Capitol Heights, Md.) placed seventh.
The Retrievers return to action next week when they split up to compete at the Penn State National Open and the Patriot Games at George Mason.

One of the highlights from Adero's summer in China was climbing the Great Wall. The Great Wall is in Northern China, so it is kind of chilly, even in the summer. Adero is wearing an AE hoodie from Summer 2009 and climbed hundreds of steep stairs just to snap that picture.

In its revision of the Directive on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the EU should even after 2020 issue free allowances to companies at risk of emigrating in order to prevent the relocation of carbon emissions to non-EU countries.
Yet again the EU Commission is trying to revise the Working Time Directive. For years, business has had to live with the case law of the European Court of Justice relating to on-call duty. These blanket rulings meet the needs of only a small minority of companies. cep has been grappling with the problem of the Working Time Directive.
In the three years since its introduction, over 50 European Citizens' Initiatives (ECI) have been started. Nevertheless, the hurdles are tough: at least one million citizens from at least seven Member States must support the Citizen's Initiative before the EU Commission will look into it.
The European Commission has announced a reform of the copyright rules in the EU before the end of this year. It intends to reduce the differences between national copyright rules by way of harmonised exceptions. The cep assesses the benefits and problems of mandatory exceptions to copyright.
The European Commission makes suggestions on how to speed up the construction of cross-border power lines. This is intended to implement the "electricity interconnection target", according to which the capacity of cross-border electricity interconnections with other Member States should constitute at least 10% of the domestic electricity generating capacity of every Member State.
As part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), 90 developed and developing countries, including those of the EU, have pledged to "curb" their greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 in order to prevent damaging consequences for climate change. As these commitments are not sufficient to prevent the severe impact of climate change, a Climate Change Agreement, legally binding for all parties, should be concluded as a Protocol to the UNFCCC in Paris in December 2015 and implemented from 2020 onwards. The European Commission wants to prepare the EU for the final round of international talks prior to the Climate Conference in Paris and therefore defines the requirements that the EU has in relation to the planned Paris Protocol.

His Eminence Cardinal Bertone visiting Ferrari
Maranello, 22 January 2012 – Yesterday a truly very special guest visited Ferrari. On his way to Imola, where he is taking part in the appointment ceremony of the Bishop of Carpi, His Eminence Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone accepted an invitation from Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo and stopped at Ferrari for a strictly private visit.
Luca di Montezemolo and Cardinal Bertone have known each other for many years and yesterday found the time for a long conversation. The Ferrari Chairman showed the Cardinal around some of the production areas, where the road cars are assembled, as well as the Scuderia department.
Here Cardinal Bertone met some technicians and mechanics from the Scuderia Ferrari at work for the preparations of the new single-seater, which the Cardinal was able to see in a "world premiere". Also interested in the technological aspects and supporter of the Scuderia Ferrari, His Eminence wished the whole team good work.
Cardinal Bertone was accompanied by his closest collaborators, while Ferrari was also represented by Deputy Chairman Piero Ferrari, CEO Amedeo Felisa and the Head of the Scuderia Ferrari Stefano Domenicali.
