AMERICUS - The top Hurricane Highlight of the 2012-13 season came during a critical span of games midway through conference play as Georgia Southwestern turned around its season by winning five Peach Belt Conference contests in a row.
Coming off a 2-0 conference start, the Hurricanes (7-11, 3-8 PBC) came into the critical stretch of games having lost nine out of its last ten contests and it looked as if the goal of making the postseason conference tournament was fading rapidly.
With the fate of their season hanging by a thread, Southwestern responded by winning the next five contests by an average of 15 points per game.
In addition to the 30 point thrashing of Columbus State in the Storm Dome, a pair of impressive road victories highlighted the season-saving streak.
Led by Alan Arnett's 29 point effort, the 'Canes came back from 19 points down to earn an upset victory at then division leading Young Harris.
The win broke the Mountain Lions' eight-game winning streak as Southwestern became the first Peach Belt Conference opponent to claim victory on the Mountain Lions' home floor.
For his efforts, Arnett was honored as the Peach Belt Conference player of the week.
The final win of the streak proved to be another critical road victory, this time at west division champion Montevallo.
Jamon Hawkins' 28 point performance helped GSW capture a rare road victory February 13 in UM's Trustmark Arena. The 'Canes dealt Montevallo their only home loss on the season and broke a string of 12 consecutive home victories for the Falcons.
The trio of Hawkins, Arnett and Daryl Davis fueled Southwestern's suddenly upstart offense as the 'Canes averaged 79.4 points over the stretch compared to their season average of 67.8.
Hawkins spearheaded the scoring, averaging 17.4 points per contest while Arnett emerged to average 14.2 points over the five-game stretch.
Reserve forward Daryl Davis added great support in the post as the junior came off the bench to average 12.2 points over the span.
The winning streak proved to be the catalyst of an injury-plagued season as Southwestern went on to earn a .500 regular season record (13-13) and a spot in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament.
On Monday, the No. 3 GSW Hurricane Highlight of the 2013 women's tennis season will be revealed.

GOSHEN — Tensions between Orange County Executive Ed Diana and the county government's largest union erupted Thursday as Diana declared an impasse in their contract negotiations and the union accused him of trying to sabotage efforts to cut costs at the county nursing home.
GOSHEN — Tensions between Orange County Executive Ed Diana and the county government's largest union erupted Thursday as Diana declared an impasse in their contract negotiations and the union accused him of trying to sabotage efforts to cut costs at the county nursing home.
Diana began the exchange with a news release saying talks had broken down because of "unrealistic" union proposals, both those affecting all Civil Service Employees Association workers and others aimed at improving finances at the Valley View Center for Nursing Care and Rehabilitation.
"I am very disappointed that the CSEA has not delivered a reasonable contract proposal that takes into account the state of the economy, county finances and the financial situation at Valley View," Diana said.
In an angry response, union leaders called the impasse declaration "yet another stall tactic to sabotage the Valley View nursing home," which Diana has been trying to privatize, and called his description of the union proposals "another blow to his credibility."
"The county has yet to present any meaningful proposals pertaining to Valley View," said CSEA Southern Region President Billy Riccaldo. "They've come to the table with this bizarre approach where they expect the union to negotiate against itself, but that isn't how negotiations work."
Diana argues the union requests would cost taxpayers $41 million over three years, starting retroactively in 2012.
The largest piece — some $14 million — would come from annual raises of 2 percent, 3 percent and 3 percent, according to the figures he presented.
His office later said the county has offered employees no raises for 2012 and 2013 and 1 percent increases for 2014.
The second costliest request Diana cited was the restoration of a paid lunch hour for new employees, something the union sacrificed over the last two contracts.
He said that proposal would cost $12 million over the life of the contract.
County officials also say the union wants health insurance for part-time workers and that coverage for 90 part-timers would cost a total of $4.8 million over three years, including the part workers would pay.
Union leaders didn't respond to those specific issues, but countered that Diana's negotiators had cancelled meetings with them five times in an apparent effort to "run out the clock and make it impossible to find savings at Valley View in time for next year's budget process."
They said they may file a bad-faith bargaining charge with the state Public Employment Relations Board.
The CSEA represents more than 2,000 county employees, whose previous contract ran for five years and expired at the end of 2011.
Negotiations for that pact were equally fraught, even without the nursing home controversy.
The union declared an impasse in 2007 after a year of fruitless talks, and it took another year to reach an agreement.

Ponyo (UK - BD RB)
Marcus watches a seafood stick turn into a little girl in HD and is mesmerised
Brumhilda (Noah Cyrus—that's right, Miley's little sister) is a little goldfish who dreams of adventure beyond her ocean realms. Making a break for freedom she reaches the surface and befriends little Sosuke (Frankie Jonas—that's right another Jonas Brother) who names her Ponyo. Now wanting more human experiences, Ponyo changes herself into a little girl and returns to Sosuke, causing an imbalance in nature and a rise in the sea levels in Susuke's village.
I opted for the US Disney Region Free release of Ponyo back in March and despite it only being a part of my collection for a short time it's already a much loved family classic. I've been a Miyazaki fan for, like ever and since around Spirited Away, the rest of my family have really grown affectionate of Studio Ghibli and its fantastic characters and visuals but with the arrival of Ponyo, my youngest daughter May (age five) got to fall in love with something outside of the usual Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks offerings that are her usual choices.
Ponyo literally bewitched her and not only has she rewatched it multiple times, sung the ridiculously catchy theme tune to death (Ponyo, Ponyo Little Fishy in the Sea) but she's actually gone back and watched my entire Miyazaki collection. Stuff like that makes a movie loving father proud, but even more rewarding was watching just how much she responded to the magic Miyazaki puts in his movies time and time again, reminding me exactly why I fell in love with Japanese animation in the first place.
No one captures every tiny glimmer of emotion from a moment like Miyazaki does. Every single story beat feels heartfelt, every ounce of feeling between characters feels utterly fairy tale magical and no matter how far-fetched the stories get they somehow feel anchored in realty (albeit a reality built in an dreamlike imagination). Ponyo has all of this and immediately feels timeless.
The effortless nature of setting up the story of an underwater world interacting with the surface world is handled with the usual anime sensibilities that subtly says "this is the story, yes, it's out there, deal with it", and the visuals accompanying all of this are absolute mesmerising, possibly even providing some of Ghibli's best yet (and that really is saying something considering the history). The heartfelt character interactions between Sosuke and his mother (who's playful grievance towards Sosuke's father is brilliant) and Sosuke and the old ladies in the nursing home are all charming. The uppity Liam Neeson vocals for Ponyo's father and his grump about his daughter's defiance are perfectly countered against her mother's (a sea goddess) calming beauty and more importantly the blossoming friendship between Sosuke and his new fish friend is so innocent and pure of heart that I was immediately won over by it.
Ponyo is simply a masterpiece in animation. The visuals of the storm and the giant fish waves are honestly some of the most impressive hand drawn moments ever and the payoff is just more Miyazaki delight with a still frame final image that rounds everything off perfectly. Miyazaki continues to lead the way in animated family movies, and even though Ponyo is aimed at a slightly younger audience he doesn't shy away from that playful sense of danger that many western movies miss/avoid and provides stories that aren't afraid to place magic over realism and give kids a ticket to pure unrestricted imagination. Don't just take my word for it though; ask my daughter May, she'll tell you how it is... that is if you can stop her singing both the English and Japanese version of the Ponyo theme tune over and over again.
If there was ever a title to win the battle when discussing the point of choosing HD over SD it's Ponyo. Ghibli's work has never looked this great and great just isn't a strong enough word to do this transfer justice.
Colours, sharpness, detail, everything about this 1080p, 1.85:1 transfer is near impossible to find fault with. You could literally pause any moment of this movie and it would make a great image to frame.
As a massive fan of 2D animation, I was absolutely mesmerised by how much of the artists' work you can see here. The texture of the paper; the brush strokes; the different techniques all fantastic to see, and frankly it still baffles me how good the character animation is considering detail levels are minimal and colouring is usually the base colour with one different tone for shading. This stuff seems so simple when studied closely but with those lavish backgrounds and the wonderful designs the overall effect is unparalleled and finally we have a home format that really shows it off.
With a slight change of pace from the US release, we lose the lossy Dolby Digital track only to be replaced with a LPCM 5.1 track in English and a DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1 track in Japanese. Honestly I didn't notice much of a difference in the English track and don't really have enough experience with the Japanese tracks to spot the differences, but I will say that both are powerful, effective and subtle at all the right moments.
As always the Miyazaki scores are what sell every moment and the strength of the score presentation works wonders, especially in the rain storm's big moments, which can be a real powerhouse. Dialogue has that beautifully awkward English dub feel that either makes or breaks foreign animation but the next wave of the Cyrus and Jonas kids do a bang up job as the two leads bring a natural sounding childlike interaction (despite some of the hokey/sweet lines) all sounding great within the mix.
Now here's where the real changes show themselves from the US Disney release. For a start we lose the 'Enter the Lands' interactive look at other Miyazaki movies (it was nice on the US disc, but really not that big a loss as it got a little frustrating after a while).
What we do get that mirrors the US release is the 'Meet Ponyo: Intro by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall' (03:19 HD) which has the two legendary producers selling the movie well. 'A Conversation with Hayao Miyazaki and John Lasseter' (03:30, HD) is a bit of short fluffiness between the two but I do love seeing Lasseter's passion for Miyazaki's work shining so brightly, it makes me smile.
'Creating Ponyo' (03:56 HD), 'Ponyo and Fujimoto' (02:58 HD)' The Nursery' (01:57 HD), 'Producer's Perspective: Telling the Story' (02:25 HD), 'The Locations of Ponyo' (09:43 HD), Scoring Miyazaki (07:17 HD), 'Behind the Microphone' (06:02 HD) are all rather short and sweet and relatively typical of most anime releases and with the PiP Storyboards wrapping up the adoptions from the US Blu-ray release we move onto the Optimum release extra, extra features.
'The Five Geniuses Who Created Ponyo' (48:57 HD) is a five part Japanese documentary split down to Katsuya Kondo – Supervising Animator, Noboro Yoshida – Art Director, Michiya Yasuda – Colour Design, Shuj Inove – Recording and Sound Mixing and Joe Hisashi – Music). It's a fairly fun approach to their work and shows off plenty of the team at work with interviews.
'Hayao Miyazaki: Interview'(14:51 HD) seems to be a press event of some kind with flashing cameras throughout. It's relatively interesting but doesn't have the best sound quality. The next interview is with Toshio Suzuki (29:41 HD) and features a different angle to the making of the movie.
'Dubbing Session and Interview with the Japanese Cast' (24:54 HD) is a little overlong for its own good and just before we finish up, there's the awesomely Japanese music video for the 'Ponyo Theme Song' (03:32) featuring Ponyo merchandise (dolls, boots, coats, balloons etc) which literally made my daughter look at me with an "I want all of that" stare and rounding up are two trailers, two TV spots and three tie-in promos. Oh, and it comes with a DVD copy, which I didn't get with this review disc, so I'm not sure what's on it.
Ponyo is another Miyazaki delight in a long list of delightful movies and Optimum have provided even more goodness in the extras department than the already great US release provided earlier in the year.
The disc looks mind-blowingly good and sounds great as well and with the movie itself providing an absolutely spellbinding fairy tale adventure told by a master doing what he does best, a recommendation is a no brainer, especially for all of you out there with kids who are yet to take their first dip into the anime ocean.

MAC for Iris Apfel Eyeshadows
MAC Diamond Dove Eyeshadow
MAC for Iris Apfel: Eyeshadows
There are five limited edition shades of MAC Eyeshadow ($15.00 for 0.05 oz.) in the Iris Apfel collection: Diamond Dove (deep gray-brown), Early Bird (bright coral), Howzat (deep gray with silver sparkle), Robin's Egg (mid-tone teal), and Silver Gull (blue-gray with sparkle).
- Diamond Dove is a dark brown with subtle cool undertones. It has good color payoff, but it is definitely a drier matte, so you may or may not like that type of texture (it's more like most of MAC's matte finishes–not at all like the Matte2 finish). This has a matte finish. Tarina Tarantino Wonderful is a slightly less gray brown in the palette. MAC Brun is grayer. MAC Copperplate is a bit lighter and much grayer. It's a bit darker than MAC Double Feature 3.
- Early Bird is a medium coral-pink. This has a matte finish. The color payoff is good, but again, it is a drier matte, which you may love or hate. If you didn't like working with MAC Free to Be (which is a bit darker but otherwise very similar), I doubt you'll like this one. They're both fairly dry. I actually found this to need more packing on the lid (I think to apply it to my inner third of the lid, I applied five or six times to get true-to-pan intensity). Inglot #361 is also similar.
- Howzat is a bluish gray with a sheen. This has a satin finish. I didn't like it the first time it came out, nor the second, and I still think it's subpar. The color payoff is terrible with a really dry, stiff texture that's just not worth the effort. MAC Interior Life is similar but more matte.
- Robin's Egg is a bluish-teal. This has a matte finish. This is the type of color that's going to look bluer/greener depending on the colors you pair it with but your underlying skin tone will have an affect, too. For instance, warmer complexions will probably see this as more of a teal shade, while cooler complexions may find it turns bluer. The texture of this is different than the other matte eyeshadows–it's much softer, not quite as soft as Matte2 finishes, but still softer and much easier to work with. It's similar to MAC Double Feature 3 and Inglot #372.
- Silver Gull is a pale, neutral-toned gray with silver sparkle. This has a velvet finish. The base color has more of a matte finish, while the sparkle lies on top of the product, which does cause significant fall out (even just swatching, the sparkle doesn't bind with the actual color). It's also on the sheerer side and a bit powdery. Guerlain Les Ombres de Nuit has a slightly similar gray. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any other dupes.
These are some of the better single eyeshadows I've seen from MAC since Surf Baby (which was an exceptional set!). I think what will sway you is simply how you prefer your matte finishes–if you like them drier, more consistent with most of MAC's matte range, you'll like these. If you prefer softer, denser, almost buttery mattes, these are not like those. In my experience, drier mattes perform just as well as more buttery ones once you apply them, but it's in a quick swatch that you might find the major discrepancy. I wore Early Bird, Robin's Egg, and Silver Gull to test out the wear of these, and I did have fall out issues with Silver Gull (which also required packing of color to get it to show). Robin's Egg is the easiest to work with, because it's soft and very pigmented–so you don't need a lot of it, and you can easily blend it out, too.

1. Create a research plan and prove my relationship to Mary Smith Evingham
2. Attend one local genealogy society or event each quarter in 2012
3. Post more comments to other bloggers on their blog itself no on Twitter, Facebook or Google+
How am I progressing? Well, I'm doing better in some areas than others.
For goal number one much, MUCH progress and success in this area! I created a research plan and spent time focusing on what I knew in order to direct my research efforts, and it worked. I knew these names: Mary Smith, Mary Evingham, Rebecaa Smith, Rebecca Gilpin, Thomas N. Smith and Una Evingham. I also knew they had connections to two places: Avoca Township in Livingston County Illinois and the village of Amherst in Buffalo County Nebraska. My approach was to find these people together on documents in both places showing a family connection.
|1885 Marriage index entry for Mary Smith and William Robertson
Parents J N Smith and Rebecca Gilpin
|1895 Family Search index of Mary Smith Robertson marriage to William Eveningham (Evingham)
Parents T. N. Smith and Rebecca Gilpin
I've found census records, marriage records, death records, land records, probate records and county histories in both Buffalo County Nebraska and Livingston County Illinois relating to the Smith/Evingham family. I have attached a few images of those documents to this post for visual interest. To my satisfaction, I believe that Mary Smith Robertson Evingham is the mother of my grandmother, Una Evingham. To my satisfaction, I believe that Thomas N. Smith and Rebecca Gilpin Smith of Livingston County Illinois are Mary's parents.
1910 Amherst Town, Grant Township, Buffalo County, NE
|From 1909 Probate File of Thomas N. Smith in Livingston County Illinois, which contained the will of
Rebecca Gilpin Smith. This section lists the names of Rebecca's children as heirs.
However, I know we are supposed to complete and utterly exhaustive search. Or is that reasonably exhaustive? :) While I feel I've been more than reasonable with this very unreasonable and uncooperative family I know I can do more. I am still searching for additional birth, death and a potential divorce record. Until I find additional documentation that causes me to question what I've found I'm ready to claim this family as mine.
For goal number three, I'm calling "not my fault!" I read the majority of blog posts either on my phone or iPad and I continue to find blogs that are not optimized for mobile viewing. Making comments with Captcha on and the Word Press log in requirements doesn't work for me on a PC let alone a mobile device. It appears I will have to continue to make the majority of my comments on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. Sorry, but it is what it is. I am your audience, you need to make my experience work for me and you figure out how you will deal with your potential spam issues. I see comments similar to mine everyday on Twitter (as a matter of fact I just RTed a tweet on this very issue). If you are looking for comment love, please make the comment experience as reasonably simple as possible for your blog visitors.
All-in-all 2012 has been a good research year for me. I'm looking forward seeing what family members I find throughout the rest of this year.

Gulf Stream Says Champagne Streamlite a Hit
September 29, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Gulf Stream Says Champagne Streamlite a Hit
Dealer response to the new Champagne Streamlite 30DBS travel trailer from Gulf Stream Coach Inc. was "excellent" during the recent Elkhart County RV Open House, according to a press release.
"Dealers told us our Champagne color option and full-profile fiberglass front cap were definitely among the most impressive introductions seen in Elkhart County," said Streamlite National Sales Manager Steve Jacobs. "The 30DBS has established a new benchmark for high value and advanced styling that raises us above the competition."
Dealers who stepped inside the 30DBS were also impressed with the enhancements made to the interior. "We've paid particular attention to the details in our new Streamlite trailers," Jacobs explained. "By carefully coordinating colors, textures, counter surfaces and styling accents, we have achieved a warm, inviting look that's comfortable yet sophisticated. Dealers have told us they are impressed with the number of high-line fifth wheel features we've incorporated at a value-oriented price point."
According to Jacobs, growing numbers of seasoned campers who want the fuel-saving advantages of lightweight construction are considering the Streamlite brand. Based on their input and suggestions from Streamlite Dealers, product managers at Nappanee. Ind.-based Gulf Stream have refined the floorplans and standard features to fulfill the "wish lists" of experienced RVers, with the new Champagne exterior being one of the most popular requests.
"We haven't forgotten that an attractive price is a key part of the equation," added Jacobs, noting that Gulf Stream can bring products to market quickly and efficiently.
Dealers who would like additional information on the Streamlite 30DBS and the rest of the Streamlite product line contact Steve Jacobs (phone 574-773-7761, ext. 5146; email email@example.com.)

Q: Two college roommates and I booked a cruise through Celebrity Cruise Lines. We did everything as suggested — booked through a travel agency, had Celebrity book the airfare and took out insurance. When we arrived in Charlotte for our connecting flight, US Airways said there was a mechanical failure and they needed 20 volunteers. They did not get their 20, so two of us did not have seats for the smaller plane they brought in. The one who had a seat was not going without the other two, so they took her seat and gave it to a family of three that did not have a cruise ship to get to. The airlines could not get us down to San Juan to leave with the ship. The best they could do is get us to the first port of call, which was two days later. It was hell for the next two days! We asked for the luggage to go to the ship so we were without it for those two days. The most US Airways will offer is a $300 voucher. The insurance only paid for the minor things and reimbursed for two days of the cruise. It seems a really unfair amount from US Airways considering what we went through to get to the port and the bad taste it put in our mouths for the cruise. Is $300 the most an airline can offer for supposed mechanical failure? They have told us that this is the best they can do and Celebrity is only offering a $100 onboard credit. Any recommendation for getting more from them?
A: Had you not booked as you did and taken out insurance, you would have had to buy a last-minute fare to the next port of call at considerable expense, and there would have been no compensation at all for your missed days, so smart move. Normally, if you're bumped from a flight like this you're entitled to compensation, with a few exceptions. According to U.S. Department of Transportation rules published on its website (http://airconsumer.dot.gov/publications/flyrights.htm#overbooking), the compensation maximum is $1,300 if the airline arranges substitute transportation arriving at your destination more than two hours on a domestic itinerary or four hours on an international one. And you get to keep your original ticket and use it on a future flight. But there's an unfortunate — and frankly unfair, I think — exception to the rule, especially if the delay was caused by a mechanical failure: "If the airline must substitute a smaller plane for the one it originally planned to use, the carrier isn't required to pay people who are bumped as a result. In addition, on flights using aircraft with 30 through 60 passenger seats, compensation is not required if you were bumped due to safety-related aircraft weight or balance constraints."
And it looks like US Airways substituted a smaller plane in this case. So really, US Airways wasn't required to pay you anything at all. What you should have done, in addition to buying insurance, was to arrive at your embarkation port (San Juan, in this case) at least a day (or preferably two days) early. I've seen this sort of scenario happen all the time (most recently, to my mother-in-law on a cruise from Miami through the Panama Canal, and she had to cancel the entire cruise; luckily her insurance reimbursed her for the full cost). I'm taking a cruise from Edinburgh to Paris this summer on Azamara Club Cruises, and I plan on arriving in London at least two days before sailing. That way I'm pretty sure I won't miss the boat.

Best New Restaurants
New restaurants pop up throughout the Hudson Valley all the time. (Although the economy has certainly slowed that trend a bit.) But which ones are really worth a special trip? From an Italian trattoria to a swank hotel hot spot, these seven outstanding eateries, all of which have opened in the last two years, are not to be missed. So make your reservations — and get ready to enjoy a dynamic dining experience
(page 6 of 7)
The everything-bagel crusted salmon makes for a colorful dish
Photographs by Teresa Horgan
Bungalow, Croton Falls
Rather than provide elaborate menu explanations, Bungalow chef-owner John Reynolds describes his dishes in Zen-like fashion. "Tartare tuna and salmon, ponzu-sesame oil, wasabi dressing on wonton crisps," for example, is a listing bound to spark a diner's imagination, bewitching the palate even before the food arrives. "Part of the challenge is, how do I captivate what's interesting in the dish without making it overwhelming," he says. "I'm looking for what's harmonious rather than what could clash."
Bungalow — in Reynolds' words, a "warm, comfortable, mid- to upper-scale, family-friendly place" in the Westchester hamlet of Croton Falls — celebrates its one-year anniversary this month. Why Croton Falls? "A lot of reasons," explains the chef. "I've lived in nearby North Salem for eight years. When I went to buy my own place, I wanted to cater to a demographic that I'm familiar with." That demographic would be similar to those found at Willy Nicks in Katonah, the Hudson House in Nyack, and Raoul's in New York City — all kitchens where Reynolds honed his culinary skills. But he's quick to point out that he wants Bungalow to be a "neighborhood place — not just where you think to come for an anniversary or birthday."
Mission statement: Bungalow's Arts & Crafts-inspired dining room
Both Reynolds and his wife Banu are fans of the Arts & Crafts movement, the early 20th-century aesthetic that championed hand-crafted products with clean, simple lines. Physically, Bungalow reflects this style: the décor in the 50-seat dining room is dominated by natural fabrics and an abundance of wood, much of it in deep, rich tones.
Using local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible is one of Reynolds' objectives. Rich foods (Brie baked in puff pastry) are paired with elemental ones (seasonal berries and wheat crackers). The Lower East Side meets the Far East in the "everything-bagel crusted salmon," which mixes everyday spices with panko breadcrumbs, forming a crunchy coating. This fall's menu includes Long Island duck served three ways (Asian-spiced confit, breast meat rillette, and frisée salad topped with duck skin crackling). Prime-grade sirloin tournedos come bathed in a mushroom and caramelized onion demi-glace, and are plated with bacon and Gorgonzola mashed potatoes. For dessert, the ever-popular figgy pudding — a rich, dense cake made with figs, and topped with caramel and Devon cream — is a house favorite
The 50-seat restaurant was once a private home
The small but expanding wine list includes well-chosen vintages from France and California as well as Australia and Chile, with a strong selection of offerings by the glass. You can bring your own as well, and have it uncorked by the wait staff for a $15 fee.
Overall, the dining public has responded "very well" to his new venture, says Reynolds — who admits he "changes light bulbs and washes dishes" as well as prepares the food. "It's truly a labor of love."

May 21, 2012 06:30 ET
CINCINNATI, OH and HANNOVER, GERMANY and BOTHELL, WA--(Marketwire - May 21, 2012) - Marina Biotech, Inc. (OTCQX: MRNA), a leading nucleic acid-based drug discovery and development company, and Girindus Group today announced that they have entered into a strategic alliance where Girindus will have exclusive rights to develop, supply and commercialize certain oligonucleotide constructs using Marina's Conformationally Restricted Nucleotide (CRN) chemistry and in return, Marina will receive royalties from the sale of CRN-based oligonucleotide reagents as well as a robust supply of cGMP material for Marina and its partners' pre-clinical, clinical and commercialization needs.
"Girindus has re-invented its business since 2009 by developing oligonucleotide manufacturing as a major focus while leveraging its established small molecule expertise to the benefit of their client base," said Marc Lemaitre, CEO of Girindus America Inc. and Vorstand of Girindus AG. "This alliance with Marina is very important for Girindus as it clearly exemplifies our strategy to provide integrated services to our oligonucleotide customers. Girindus is unique in being able to provide oligonucleotide development and manufacturing services, with related analytical and regulatory support, as well as apply small molecule chemistry to both amidites and oligonucleotide modifications. The small molecule chemistry component of our business provides our customers a one-stop shop when they need other products related to nucleosides, exotic phosphoramidites or drug delivery products. This strategy allows Girindus to develop and exploit, to the benefit of our customers, both the solid-phase technology platform related to oligonucleotides and a wide array of established solution-phase chemistries. We have decided to enter into this alliance with Marina because we believe its proprietary CRN chemistry provides unique benefits to oligonucleotide constructs, and offers a new research and development tool to the field of nucleic acid based therapeutics."
Conformationally Restricted Nucleotides are patented analogs in which a chemical bridge connects the C2' and C4' carbons of ribose. Ribose, a five-carbon ring-like structure, forms the central component of a nucleotide (comprised of a nucleobase, ribose, and phosphate group). The chemical bridge in the ribose of a CRN locks the ribose in a fixed conformation, which in turn restricts the flexibility of the nucleobase and phosphate group. Substitution of a CRN within an RNA- or DNA-based oligonucleotide has the advantages of increased hybridization affinity and enhanced resistance to nuclease degradation. CRN technology provides a direct means of developing highly potent and specific oligonucleotide-based therapeutics to target messenger RNAs or microRNAs. These targets connect disease pathways that are typically "undruggable" or "difficult to target" with small molecules or monoclonal antibodies, and may be critical in disease areas with significant unmet needs, such as inflammation, metabolic disease, and cancers. Marina Biotech's CRN patent estate consists of two issued patents broadly covering CRN compounds and CRN containing oligonucleotides, and one pending patent application covering additional applications of CRNs.
"We are pleased to have entered into this strategic alliance with Girindus," stated J. Michael French, President and CEO of Marina Biotech. "Our mission here at Marina is to conduct basic research in the application of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics to treat human disease as well as to advance those therapeutics through preclinical and clinical development and ultimately to the market. This alliance with Girindus allows us to move the development and supply of CRN-based oligonucleotides to a team with exceptional experience and capability thus allowing us to focus on bringing novel therapeutics to patients in need."

Heinz Takeover Takes Top Shelf, Below the Liquor
Takeover partners Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital boast their $28 billion deal (including debt) for Heinz rates as the food industry's biggest — technically true, but that ignores deals involving drinks and smokes.
Including debt, InBev bought Anheuser-Busch for $59.6 billion, and Seagram became part of Vivendi for $56.2 billion, according to research firm Dealogic.
UPDATE: The Heinz claim also skirts the buyout of RJR Nabisco, the food and tobacco company KKR & Co. acquired for $31.1 billion, with debt, after mounting a famous hostile takeover effort in 1988.
Beyond those, Unilever's $24.2 billion acquisition of Bestfoods in 2000 is in the neighborhood but not yet as substantial as Warren Buffett's latest snack.
Heinz is up 20% to $72.50 on the deal, all-time highs.

Due to confusion in some circles regarding the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), I would like to clear up some of that confusion. This column will help explain our beliefs regarding God and our relationship to Him.
As stated in our First Article of Faith, "We Believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." We believe that they are separate and distinct beings, although they are one in purpose.
We are the creation of God, yet we are more than simply His creation. We are the greatest of His creations, for we are His children, and are created in His image.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness....So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them" (Gen. 1:26, 27).
God is our Father, the Father of our spirits (Heb. 12:9). He has a glorified physical body. Of all the titles He could have chosen, he asked us to call Him "Father." As Jesus taught in Luke Chapter 11, "When ye pray, say, Our FATHER, who art in heaven..."
As we have experienced the love of good fathers here on earth, imagine the love that a perfect Father in Heaven has for us, his children. He wants the best for us. He also has high expectations for us.
That is why He gives us commandments to obey. They are not given to punish us, but are signs of His love for us, and are given for our protection, much like earthly parents who give rules and limits for their children to keep them safe. Like young children who don't understand the reason for parental rules, we may not always understand the why behind the commandments, but we will be blessed for exercising faith and obedience to them.
As a perfect Father, he is often disappointed by us, His imperfect children. However, that doesn't mean that he stops loving us.
In fact, He prepared a way for us to overcome our imperfect natures and return to His presence. "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer, and there is no other name given under heaven whereby mankind may be saved. He also has a glorified physical body. He came to earth to live a perfect life, and by so doing, gave us a path to follow.
As he stated in the Book of Mormon, "Follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do" (2 Nephi 31:12).
Jesus also came to pay the price for our sins through His suffering on our behalf in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross, making it possible to be forgiven for our sins, under the condition that we believe in Him, work to change our sinful ways, and follow Him.
The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, and is distinct from the Father and the Son, for he is a personage of spirit, which gives Him the ability to dwell in us. He is the Comforter, who guides us, teaches us and confirms gospel truth to us when we hear it. It is through the Holy Ghost that we can judge clearly between good and evil. The Holy Ghost gives us peace in a turbulent world by confirming to our souls when we are on the path that God wants us to be on.
Jesus, speaking of the Holy Ghost, said "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27).
One of life's greatest blessings is to know that God lives, is real, and is our loving Father in Heaven. He is not indifferent to us and our condition. We are important to Him.
The Savior told us that a sparrow would not fall to the ground without our Father noticing, and then stated "Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:31).
Equally important is the understanding that Jesus Christ is His Son, and our Savior, who can redeem us from the effects of our own poor decisions, if we are willing to accept His teachings and follow Him.
Finally, the Father and the Son have not left us comfortless, for they have given us the Holy Ghost, which helps us to feel and know that God and His Son are real, and that their teachings, sincerely followed, bring us peace in this life, and immortality and salvation in the next.

5 Fresh Ways to Wear a Lace-Up Ankle Boot
Give predictable outfits the boot with these fresh looks. There's not a Doc Marten in the bunch.
Photographer: Luke Wooden
Photo:Luke Wooden
We say flat red boots, you think: Ronald McDonald. Think again. Worn with boyfriend jeans, slouchy socks, and a structured moto jacket, these Modern Vice Benni Suede Boots ($225) in Pumkin are the epitome of chic. The secret ingredient, of course, is the animal print sweater, which echoes the shoes' color in a more muted shade.
Also on the model: Sandro Voltige Crackled Leather Jacket ($1385) in Black; Sandro Sauvage Sweater ($375, available in October) in Red (similar style: Surprise Mohair Sweater, $305); Madewell New York New York Tee Shirt ($42) in Grey; Moto Ripped High-Waisted Jeans ($68) in Mid-Stone; Hue Mini Stripe Socks ($16) in Ivory.

Polish up your 9-to-5 rotation with a wine-hued pencil skirt and patent leather booties like these Derek Lam Maxine Boots ($875). The shoes' wedge heel and pointed toe effect the same sophistication as a stiletto, while the black tights maintain an understated, straight line from the skirt's hem to the boot's sole.
On the model: Zara Masculine Double-Breasted Coat ($189) in Grey; Levi's Made & Crafted Denim Shirt ($149) ; Tory Burch Valentina Skirt ($325) in Dark Plum; Diesel Biceslete Belt (similar style: Diesel Bigiorgi Belt ($78) in Cinnamon Brown); Hue Opaque Control Top Tights ($14) in Black; Sarah Chloe Lana Petite Signet Ring ($498) in Gold.

The combat boot's more stylish sister, this pair of Report Signature Allon Booties ($120) ups the sophistication factor with a chunky heel and sleek patent finish. To soften up the shoes' inherent hard-edge, opt for a flowy maxi dress and pale pink palette.
Also on the model: Schott NYC Bomber Jacket ($300) in Navy; Tucker by Gaby Basora Asymmetric Dolman Dress in LuLu's Fish Pond ($478, available in store; similar style: Tucker Tie Neck Silk Dress, $352, in Jelly Candy Cactus); Love Quotes Italian Linen Scarf ($88) in Beach; Trade Salome Bracelet ($46) in Gold; American Apparel Solid Knee-High Socks ($10) in Truffle.
Photo:Luke Wooden
Get creative with shapes and pair high-heeled ankle boots like these French Connection Shasha Booties ($160) with wide leg trousers and a fitted blazer. Resist your impulse to drape the pants over the shoes and instead cuff them above the ankle for a defined and proportionally-harmonious silhouette.
Also on the model: J Brand Taylor Jacket ($450) in Black; Paul & Joe Vascours Button Down Top (available in store; similar style: Paul & Joe Lace Detail Blouse, $486, in White); Theyskens' Theory Pedry Footh Slouchy Pants ($395) in Black/White; Gerard Yosca Cat's Eye Flip Top Bracelet ($90) in Golden Rod (similar style: Gerard Yosca Pebble Bracelet, $110, in Charcoal); Hue Cotton Tissue Socks ($7) in Black.
Photo:Luke Wooden
If you do go the skinny jean route, throw a styling curve ball and wear them with combat boots like these Frye Veronica Boots ($258), a loose leather vest, and scrunched socks. Most importantly, only tie the laces halfway and haphazardly roll up your jean hems. It's a look that says, "I didn't even try here and I still look fabulous". (And who are we to say otherwise).
Also on the model: Veda Genuine Calf Hair and Leather Vest ($880) in Black; Sonia Rykiel Angora Tank (similar style: Topshop Knitted Fluffy Sleeveless Top, $100, in Ivory); Joe's Rolled Tux Tee Shirt ($88) in White; All Saints Embers Ashby Jeans ($150) in Grey; Rebecca Minkoff Wallet with Chain ($195); The 2 Bandits The Rigby Bangle Set of 3 ($98) in Antique Silver; The 2 Bandits Double Stick Ring ($78) in Antique Silver; American Apparel Solid Knee-High Socks ($10) in Black.

DOVER — Though prison sentencing may come with orders for treatment or counseling programs, those convicted of a crime are not mandated to follow those orders if they choose not to.
While officials could not comment on the specifics of the Jeffrey Gelinas case, past or present, a person convicted of a crime and ordered to serve time in person has the right to decline any programs ordered by a judge.
According to Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi, there are instances when a person will choose to "max out" his prison sentence, serving the maximum number of years sentenced rather than try to be paroled at a sooner date and follow through with what are really just recommendations for rehabilitation or counseling programs.
"No one has to do anything," he said.
In the instance of Gelinas, arraigned Wednesday on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure less than a year after being released from state prison, there may have been some programming offered to him while he was incarcerated, Velardi said.
Gelinas was sent to state prison in May 2005 after being convicted of a burglary charge with the intent to commit sexual assault and being sentenced to 1� to 8 years. In May 2008, he paroled out of that sentence. However, he was returned to prison on a parole violation in July 2008, a little more than two months later, and remained jailed until April 2012.
His sentence officially came to an end January 30 of this year and as such, he was no longer bound of the department of corrections.
Gelinas' criminal record, which goes back to 1995, shows an escalation of criminal activity leading to his being the sole suspect in a string of eight burglaries in Durham where the intruder snipped or removed clothing from sleeping women. These incidents earned him the moniker "Jack the Snipper."
Criminal trespassing, loitering, privacy violations, and stalking all make up his record beginning in the mid 1990s.
His new charge of indecent exposure involves an allegation he exposed his genitals to an 11-year-old Dover girl while she shopped with her mother in a local store.
Jeffrey Lyons, public information officer for the men's state prison in Concord, said he could not disclose what, if any, programming is in Gelinas' record or whether he accepted or declined, but that there is an 18-month sex-offender treatment program offered.
He said when an inmate arrives at the prison, they undergo an assessment there, and the superintendent decides which programming would be appropriate and beneficial. The inmate then has the option to accept or decline that treatment.
"It's really the inmates' responsibility to take control of their own lives," he said. "We would hope that they would take those programs so that they will be rehabilitated so once released they'll be able to adjust better on the outside."
But, he said, in order to take part in the programs, an inmate would have to acknowledge the crime they were convicted of. He said many times an inmate declines the programming because they believe they are innocent of that crime.
Some may be trying to appeal the conviction, he said.
Velardi said sometimes sentences are written in such a way to suggest programming as an incentive for the criminal. But that doesn't always work for those who may be looking ahead, or perhaps not fully understanding any wrongdoing on their part.
"Some offenders will choose to do that (decline) so they are out in the community with no programs and no supervision," Velardi said.
He said it should be emphasized that people with these sorts of issues, such as sexual deviants, can walk into clinics or facilities and get assistance on their own.
"But they probably don't understand that it's a problem," he said.
Again, he said that the best a sentencing court can do in these scenarios is recommend that someone does something. Once in prison and after programming is also determined by the facility's superintendent, the inmate still has to partake in help voluntarily.
Lyons said at prison, the best they can do is go by the conviction handed to them by the courts and set up a path for an inmate to work his way out of the prison system and reintegrate into society smoothly and with continued success.
"As law enforcement officers we have to hope and pray that they don't reoffend," Velardi said.

THE owners of an adventuring cat which regularly catches a train to Scarborough marine-life sanctuary to watch the fish said today it would be enjoying its new-found celebrity status.
Percy the cat has become the most famous pet in Scarborough, after it was revealed that he often leaves his home on Green Howard's Drive and travels to the Sea Life Centre by rail.
The six-year-old animal spends the day watching the fish and penguins before hopping back on to the miniature North Bay Railway train when it is time to go home.
Today, Percy's owners, Anne and Yale Michael, were surprised to see an article about their pet's travels in their local paper - the Scarborough Evening News.
But Mrs Michael, 51, said Percy would take his new status as a tourist attraction in his stride.
"He enjoys all the attention," Mrs Michael said.
"He's lovely; a really big, friendly cat. He's very, very independent, comes and goes as he wants in the summer. But in the winter he spends most of his time on my bed asleep, preparing for the next season."
Mrs Michael said Percy had been making the 0.75 mile train journey for around five years and was so well known at the railway he has his own piece of carpet at the station to sleep on.
"He seems to know when to get on and off the train," she said.
"Then he goes to the Sea Life Centre, where he seems to go to look at the penguins. He just watches them and the fish."
Tamsin Mutton-McKnight, general manager at the Scarborough Sea Life Centre, said Percy likes to sit on a wall near the entrance and sneak in with the crowds but had never been any trouble.
She said: "The penguins don't like him very much but he'll just plonk himself down, watching the fish in the tanks. He's more well-behaved than some visitors sometimes. He never tries to get into any of our tanks, even though some have open tops, and we never have any problems with him.
"It's just a shame he scares the penguins."
Phil Hart, a guard on the North Bay Railway, which has been operating from Peasholm Park to Scalby Mills since 1931, said: "Percy comes down every day. He just hops on and hops off the train and knows exactly what time the trains are. The train passengers love him and make a fuss of him, he's a lovely cat."

Greg Sharpe Talks Bo Pelini, Taylor Martinez, and Previews Nebraska – South Dakota State
This has not been the best of weeks for the Nebraska football program as they get set to host South Dakota State, Saturday in Lincoln.
Blown leads on the field, blown tops off the field, and what could be a big blow to their offense, all generating headlines heading into the match-up with the Jackrabbits at Memorial Stadium.
The blown lead came against against UCLA last Saturday in Lincoln. The Cornhuskers raced out to an early 21-3 lead, but surrendered 38 unanswered points, falling 41-21.
Against a Bruins team they struggled with converting on third down and missed tackles last season, Nebraska was bitten by both in the final minutes of the first half, keying the beginnings of the UCLA rally.
Up by 18 with 4:39 to go before halftime, the Huskers managed just two yards on three plays, and had to punt the ball back with 2:24 left. Then with a chance to shut down UCLA's next drive, the Huskers missed key chanced to sack quarterback Brett Hundley, on third and 12, as he escaped for a 13-yard gain and a first down. Three plays later, UCLA was in the end zone for the first time and cut the Nebraska lead to 21-10, and, more importantly, grabbed the momentum of the game heading into the locker room at intermission:
Monday Nebraska began its' preparations for SDSU, but then was hit with a major distraction, as a 2011 audio recording of head coach Bo Pelini ripping Cornhukser fans was released.
That sent Pelini and Nebraska athletic officials into damage control, which eventually led to an apology from Pelini, and statements of concern, yet support from his bosses in Lincoln.
Sharpe was in the room with Pelini when the comments were made two years ago and I asked him about how he felt when the tape was released Monday:
As if all that isn't enough for the Huskers to deal with, starting quarterback Taylor Martinez is doubtful for the game because of a toe injury suffered against UCLA.
Redshirt freshman Tommy Armstrong will likely get the start ahead of senior Ron Kellogg III.
Two big questions: If this was a Big Ten game would Martinez be playing? How much do the Huskers lose with Armstrong at the controls?
This is the second time the Huskers have hosted the Jackrabbits in the last four seasons. In that 2010 meeting, SDSU played Nebraska, losing 17-3.
The 2013 Jacks bring the leading rusher in the FCS to Lincoln Satuday. Junior Zach Zenner is averaging 180 yards a game on the ground, junior quarterback Austin Sumner continues has thrown six touchdown passes with no interceptions, and SDSU is plus-11 in turnovers after three games:
Kickoff is 2:30pm in Lincoln, Saturday, right here on your home for Nebraska football - ESPN 99.1.

Nokia will focus on Qt, and Qt alone, as the sole application development framework for both Symbian and MeeGo. All this means that thorough support for HTML5 comes pretty much as a bonus, as well as the ability to easily create rich application user interfaces for both Symbian and MeeGo. Additionally, Nokia will turn Symbian into a continuously improving platform, foregoing classic releases.
"We're making strategic technology decisions that will accelerate our ability to offer the strongest possible opportunity for developers and the richest possible experience for consumers," says Rich Green, CTO of Nokia, "For developers, it will open up a huge installed customer base for their applications. For consumers, it means a more compelling engagement with their Nokia product in terms of access to the best applications in the marketplace and a constantly improving product experience."
Seems like a great idea to me. There's nothing wrong with Symbian's core operating system features - it's the user interface side of it all that just isn't up to par. Hopefully a full focus on Qt will help the platform greatly.

Auburn wide receiver Sammie Coates gave a blunt assessment of Auburn's program Tuesday.
AUBURN — Wide receiver Sammie Coates figures he lost maybe six games in his high school career, one more than Auburn endured the previous two seasons combined before the recent nosedive.
It's not something Coates wants to become accustomed to — if he has a choice.
"We've got to get used to it. If we're going to play like this, we're going to keep losing," the Tigers' redshirt freshman said Tuesday. "We either have to step up and turn around ... We've got a good team. We've got good athletes. We've got some of the best athletes that you can ask for. It's just, is it in their heart that they want to win or do they just want to keep going down?
"With me, I think some of us just need to see the picture like it is. Some of these older guys, they want it but they don't want it bad enough. We don't have enough leadership on this team."
It was a blunt assessment of Auburn (1-4, 0-3 Southeastern Conference) and why it's mired in a miserable start. The Tigers visit Mississippi (3-3, 0-2) on Saturday.
Despite the problems, coach Gene Chizik and linebacker Jake Holland disputed Coates' take on the lack of senior leadership. Still, the young receiver pulled no punches, even in talking about the veterans.
"The older guys, they put a lot on the older guys but they ain't showing much," Coates said. "The coaches are always talking about leadership but nobody's really trying to be a leader. They talk about it all the time but you don't see it. We talk about how we want to be a better man, better football players and all that but nobody's stepping up to the plate to take advantage of that."
Holland, a junior, took issue with that assessment.
"The overall state of this team has never changed," he said. "We have leaders on this team. I have to disagree with Sammie on that. The leadership on this team has been the same since day one, you know, and the seniors are doing a good job of that. It's just about bringing the team together and just continuing to move toward that goal. I think when you don't start out the way you want, you kind of start pointing fingers, but you can't do that."
Chizik said these questions surface at every level of football from high school to the NFL when teams start losing. He said he feels "really, really good about the majority of our team being right on point."
"Let me make this real clear: There is definitely an urgency around here to win and improve, and I like seeing that," Chizik said. "Part of our job is to help our guys understand that when you're in a valley, which is where we are now ... you've got to find a way to persevere and work out of it. I don't think that message is a new revelation for anybody. I know our football team has heard that from me several different times. That's part of our job. I enjoy seeing us work toward that goal. "
But the problems are many.
The Tigers' offense has been the least productive in the league. The defense has improved since giving up 528 yards in the opener to Clemson but allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to previously hapless Arkansas in Saturday's 24-7 loss to the Razorbacks.
Even more telling, Auburn is last among the nation's 120 teams in turnover margin, forcing just six and committing a whopping 17, including 10 interceptions.
Chizik said he wouldn't decide on a starting quarterback until after assessing practices Tuesday and Wednesday. Kiehl Frazier was benched at halftime of the Arkansas game and has thrown just two touchdown passes and been intercepted eight times. Clint Moseley was picked off twice in the second half but did throw for 163 yards and a touchdown.
It has all contributed to a dramatic fall for a team that won a national title two seasons ago and thought it set the stage for a youth-driven comeback with a strong performance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Virginia. That success didn't carry over.
"It's the inconsistency. It's on both sides of the football," Chizik said. "It's really just execution of what we're doing and staying with the things that we believe in. That's really what it comes down to. It doesn't matter what happened two years ago. It only matters what's happening right now. Those are the problems we're working every day to get it fixed."

Kings Mountain High School students are headed to Kentucky.
For the first time, the Kings Mountain High School theater program won in the North Carolina State High School Play Festival and will compete in the Southeastern Theater Conference (SETC) High School Theater Festival with its play �Down Came the Rain.�
The group will be competing against theater programs from other southeastern states, including Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Students will be attending workshops and watching other groups perform plays.
�It�s kind of nerve-wracking, but I�m looking forward to watching the plays other states will perform,� said Nick Lease, who plays Michael in �Down Came the Rain.�
�Down Came the Rain� is about a relationship between two brothers, one who is mentally handicapped.
Student Justin Chapman is Brucie, the mentally handicapped brother, and Lease plays his older brother.
�We tried to be very honest with our performance,� said theater teacher Dan Treharne. �Their performances are subtle. Michael loves Brucie because it�s his brother but is conflicted because he also drives him crazy.�
Kings Mountain's group first performed the show in November and then at the state play festival, where the two lead performers won acting awards.
�We had people coming up after our performance crying and saying, �My brother is Brucie. You did a wonderful job,�� said Chapman.
The play was put on hold while Kings Mountain's theater group performed �Beauty and the Beast,� but since that production ended at the end of February, the students have returned to performing �Down Came the Rain.�
�Our character has stayed constant, but since we�ve been able to perform it more, I can see where our interpretations have been different,� Chapman said. �I�ve been thinking back to past experience to help with my character.�
Last weekend, the students held a fundraiser for the $5,000 Kentucky trip and raised $2,000.
The SETC competition is the largest high school theater gathering in the nation, Treharne said.
�This is the school�s first time going and it feels pretty good,� he said. �When I first started 10 years ago, there wasn�t much of a program (at Kings Mountain) because theater popularity had gone down. Now it has grown and other students want to join after they�ve heard about the success.�
Treharne, a 1998 Shelby High School graduate, attended the southeastern play competition when he was a senior with the play �Brighton Beach Memoirs.�
He now looks forward to taking his own students to the event.
�I hope they�ll take mainly the memories and the love of theater and take it to another level,� he said.

Whitsunday Island
Whitsunday Island is the largest island in the Whitsunday Islands archipelago, and home to the famous Whitehaven beach.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
See[edit][add listing]
Whitehaven beach's main attraction is the pure white silica sand, along a seven kilometre (four or five mile) stretch. Sun glasses are essential (seriously!). Different theories about the sand exist, one of the more interesting that Australia's tectonic plates rubbed together and the silica oozed up from the Earth's, before being washed up here. Because of the sand's purity, it was almost mined by the American government in the 1960s for military uses. The substance can be used for satellite dishes. Luckily that did not come to pass, and the beach is now protected under the national park. Well over a hundred people dock here daily on tours, and it is always being voted one of the best beaches in the world, by the people who vote for these things. But between about 4pm and 10am it is entirely deserted, for the intrepid few that camp overnight (or people who own yachts). There is a pit toilet behind the beach and no running water.
Most day boat trips come here and it is on most people's "must see" list of things while here. Whitehaven beach faces east towards the open sea, making some boat journeys there very choppy. Some of the boat packages on offer for first time visitors can have the feeling of a troop march for one camera shoot place to the next, so if doing daytripping, choose your boat company wisely. Many boats also go to Tongue Point, which has a well trodden trail up to a built lookout over Whitehaven. The size of the island also means there are dozens and dozens of little coves and inlets where people with yachts or boats can pull in away from it all.

There is no Mcdonalds or Starbucks. The islands are strictly national park with the exception of Private Island resorts. Any food you want to consume on Whitsunday Island must be brought with you.

Nobu, the boutique hotel-within-a-hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, is about to get even more stylish -- if that's possible -- when Nobu Villa opens atop it next year.
The 10,300-square-foot Nobu Villa will crown the 181-room Nobu hotel, which is housed inside Caesar's Palace.
The views from Nobu Villa will include Las Vegas' various resorts and the High Roller, one of the world's tallest Ferris wheels that's being built directly across Las Vegas Boulevard.
Unlike other ultra-private villas in Vegas designated for high rollers and other invited guests, Nobu Villa will be available to anyone whose pockets are deep enough (prices haven't been announced).
The villa is expected to appeal to those seeking an exclusive venue for convention functions and parties. A 4,700-square-foot outdoor terrace is part of the package. The space will, of course, be available for overnight lodging.
Like the hotel, the villa was conceptualized and designed by architect David Rockwell.

No, high school AP courses tend to move at a rapid pace, cramming as much material into the semester as possible. In the Honors Program, you'll study relevant material in greater depth than a regular liberal arts course. You'll discover how classroom teachings affect your life and the lives of others.
The Honors curriculum needs to be finished alongside your major's requirements. While the requirements are standard for everyone, you have the flexibility of converting non-Honors courses into Honors courses with the instructor's permission. For instance, Jacob Dean, communications major, did an in-depth study of Henry David Thoreau and his essay "Life Without Principle" to make his "American Literature I" course an Honors course.
- Taking your education to a higher level
- Joining a tight-knit community of students and faculty
- Registering a day early with priority registration
- Working individually with faculty to present your work at professional conferences
- Special invitations to select on-campus events
- Attending many off-campus social events
No, the beauty of the Honors program is that you have the opportunity to learn and study with all students. You can take standard or Honors classes in any major.
E-mail Peter Robinson, director of the Honors Program or call (513) 244-4207. You can also contact an admission counselor.
