#TheBasement
An Orlando, Florida, bar that used to be packed with UCF fans on football Saturdays has seen its business dwindle as the Knights have gotten off to an uncharacteristic 0-4 start.
So the establishment, called The Basement, is getting the attention of the locals by announcing it will be giving beer away for free during the team's games until the Knights win.
"We have taken great pride in the team and we very much consider ourselves a UCF bar, as we're operated and staffed by graduates and even some current students," said Jake Whitacre, the bar's marketing director who graduated from the school in 2012.
The once stalwart UCF team, which played in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, has lost twice this year in devastating manner. The team lost its season opener to FIU by one point when its field goal try was blocked and was stunned by Furman in a one-point loss two weeks later, as its kicker drilled a school-record 55-yarder.
Whitacre said the bar, which is located in downtown Orlando about 15 miles from campus, had roughly 50 people watching the team's loss to South Carolina this past weekend. The bar's capacity is about 150.
"We hate to see the place like this," Whitacre said.
The bar will start serving free beer, which will be an American lager like Coors Light and Yuengling, after the kickoff and will continue to serve until the final whistle is blown for each game until the team wins.
Whitacre said there has been so much buzz about the promotion, since the bar made the announcement on Monday, that the ownership is going to open up the nightclub above The Basement to accommodate an overflow crowd of up to 200 more people.
The hope for the bar, financially speaking, is to have the crowd pay for premium alcohol and food while cheering on the team, which plays 1-2 Tulane at noon this Saturday.
Whitacre says he hasn't heard from the school's athletic department, which probably is rooting harder for its team to win this weekend. If not, the student crowd, or at least the upperclassmen, could be spending the Oct. 10 home game versus Connecticut at the bar instead of being in the stands.
In 2011 and 2012, a Miami bar gained nationwide publicity by paying patrons who were in the bar during Heat games $25 every time they stayed for the game and the Heat lost. In the first year, the bar lost more than $97,000 in retail business from the promotion, but gained much more than that in publicity and attention.

#Daraprim
The drug, called Daraprim, was acquired in August by Turing Pharmaceuticals, a start-up run by a former hedge fund manager. Turing immediately raised the price to $750 a tablet from $13.50 ....
Cycloserine, a drug used to treat dangerous multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, was just increased in price to $10,800 for 30 pills from $500 after its acquisition by Rodelis Therapeutics.
#AllAboutTheU
Inside the University of Miami’s dorms, administrative searches are commonplace, and students are warned days ahead of time so they can get rid of their bongs, beer bottles, and hotplates beforehand.
Last month, Jonathan Harrington thought he’d have some fun with the search. Before inspectors arrived, the 21-year-old English major left lines of white powder on the coffee table and kitchen counter, a rolled-up dollar bill, and seven white pills. Because the lines were just powdered sugar and the pills aspirin, Harrington figured everyone would get a good chuckle out of it and move on.
Instead, Harrington ended up handcuffed, dragged to jail, and charged with felony cocaine possession.
“It was indeed powdered sugar — 23.7 grams of the finest you can buy at Publix. I know the amount from the police report,” Harrington insists. “I doubt they’d believe me. To them it is more plausible that I left $1,500 worth of cocaine strewn around my apartment.”
The trouble began August 30 when housing officials discovered Harrington’s stash and — following protocol — phoned University of Miami Police to test the powder and pills. That’s when Harrington busted in and, according to the police report, said, “I guess you guys are here about the powdered-sugar prank!”
Police noted the white tablets were indeed marked as aspirin. But when they tested the white powder, it came back positive for cocaine. Harrington was arrested on the spot and spent the night and following day in jail, sleeping on hard plastic chairs and eating ham sandwiches.
What exactly happened? Harrington insists the drug field test yielded a false positive.
It’s not impossible. In fact, the quick drug tests used in the field are notoriously wonky. In 2009, a Kissimmee man was arrested after the breath mints in his car tested positive for crack cocaine. In 2011, a birdwatcher in Weston was arrested when her sage tested positive for marijuana. In 2013, police cuffed a 25-year-old Coney Island man after his Jolly Rancher candies tested positive for methamphetamine. In February, a Minnesota man was arrested when his vitamin powder tested positive for amphetamines.
Harrington’s roommate, Kritos Vasiloudes, backs up his story of a powdered-sugar prank. Vasiloudes told police that Harrington tipped him off about the prank and that he agreed to go along. But Vasiloudes says he was studying in his room when Harrington staged the scene.
For now, Harrington faces arraignment next week on one felony count of cocaine possession, which carries a maximum of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. At UM, he faces suspension but says those proceedings have been paused until the court matter is settled.
But he’s confident that a more sophisticated lab analysis will confirm his side of the story. Coral Gables PD says the powder has been sent to a lab but could take up to two months to process.
“I’m hoping the prosecutor’s office will drop it once they realize their error,” Harrington says.

#AgriculturalEmergency
U.S. Department of Agriculture, has been aggressively working to eradicate this pest. Efforts include:
Assisting industry with the requirements of their compliance agreements;
Quarantining an 85-square-mile area around the core areas where detections have been made in order to prevent the spread of the fly;
Treating a 1.5-square-mile area around each fly detection. This treatment, which is conducted by the department, consists of attracting male flies to bait which consists of an attractant, an insecticide, and a thickening agent. The flies are killed when they feed on the bait. The bait mixture is applied weekly to upper portions of telephone and utility poles. The application will continue for at least two life cycles of the fly after each find, which is approximately 60 days;
Removal of fruit from host trees — while leaving the trees — within 200 meters of a larval or mature female fruit fly find; and
Ground spraying with GF120, a pesticide certified for use in organic farming. Spinosad (GF-120 NF NaturalyteTM Fruit Fly Bait) is an insecticide that is extracted from the naturally occurring soil microbe, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosad is in common use by organic growers and was granted a “Green Chemistry” award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which classifies it as “reduced risk” because of its good environmental profile.
