Nashville songstress Dolly Parton is making a bid to get back to the big screen with hip hop heavy Queen Latifah.
The duo have signed on to a movie project titled "Joyful Noise," the Hollywood Reporter writes.
In the film, the two female vocalists will team up to keep a small town gospel choir afloat.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Parton, 54, has not been in a feature film since the 1992 movie "Straight Talk." In recent months she has been working on her musical, "9 to 5," and just celebrated the 25th anniversary of her Tenessee theme park, Dollyworld.
That theme park attracted headlines when a trio of Florida teenagers purchased plane tickets without their parents knowledge and tried to fly their for a visit.
The film leaves open the possibility for country-crooner Parton and R & B mogul Latifah to sing together on screen. The film will be directed by Todd Graff, who worked on the 2003 movie-musical "Camp" and more recently, "Bandslam."

Google Rated Top Employer for Pay and Benefits by Glassdoor
Google and three other Silicon Valley companies recently settled a lawsuit alleging that they agreed not to recruit each other's employees. Maybe Google didn't need to worry about poaching.
The search giant ranked as the top U.S. employer for compensation and benefits, according to employee ratings compiled by Glassdoor.
Facebook ranked third. Overall, 12 tech companies ranked in the top 25.
How much do Google employees make? Glassdoor shared survey results for software engineers at five top tech firms. Those show software engineers at Google have an average base salary of $128,000. Apple software engineers did slightly better, making $132,000. Facebook's made $120,000 and Microsoft's and Amazon's made closer to $111,000 and $105,000 respectively.

Student's Apparatus X project gains momentum
Student's Apparatus X project gains momentum
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Aaron Wertman, master of architecture student at Penn State, has taken his thesis project, Apparatus X: Empowering Disaster Victims, to another level. Wertman launched a website for Apparatus X and is currently raising funds to support his project.
Wertman's passion for the mobile relief vehicle project and the enthusiasm of his colleagues recently propelled Apparatus X beyond its location outside the Stuckeman Family Building on Penn State's University Park campus and to the pages of Wertman's hometown paper and the front page of Penn State's website.
His 30-day campaign raised $1,100 within 12 minutes of its launch, to Wertman's excitement and disbelief. His goal is to raise $15,000 before 11:59 p.m. May 2. Donations to Apparatus X come with tiered perks: $1 gets the contributor's name on the sponsor list and the benefits increase to the $10,000 perk – eternal gratitude and a visit by Apparatus X for a personal thank you.
Wertman will be working on Apparatus X and answering questions outside of the Stuckeman Family Building during Blue-White weekend as well as hoping for nice weather to continue working on his project this spring.
For more information about the project, visit the Apparatus X website at http://www.apparatus-x.com.

UMass Lowell scales back Fall 2020 plan to minimize students, employees on campus. View the plan for more info.
Edwin L. Aguirre
To help achieve the University's goal of graduating students who are work ready, life ready and world ready, the Department of Physics and Applied Physics is now offering master's degree and Ph.D. programs in radiological sciences with a medical physics option.
"A Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and biotechnology with medical physics specialization is also available," says Prof. Erno Sajo, who is director and graduate coordinator for medical physics. "These programs are the only ones of their kind in New England, and are among the most rapidly growing academic programs on campus."
The programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP), an internationally recognized and sole accrediting agency of the medical physics profession. To date, UMass Lowell is one of only 40 universities worldwide that have met the high quality standards established by CAMPEP.
Students will receive the education and training they need to work in the fields of therapeutic, diagnostic and nuclear medical physics as well as medical radiation protection. Currently, there are 27 students enrolled in the program at various stages of their academic careers.
"Many of them are engaged in collaborative research with UMass Medical School and with Harvard-affiliated hospitals in Boston," notes Sajo.
A Graying Population and Increasing Demand for Medical Physicists
The demand for medical physicists is expected to grow as the population ages, and the focus on health issues will increase the demand for improved medical diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
"Most medical physicists work in a clinical environment and have responsibilities in areas of diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, particularly cancer, often with specific patients and in consultation with physician colleagues," says Sajo.
Medical physicists are also involved in developing new instrumentation and technology used in diagnostic radiology — including computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or their combinations — for displaying detailed cross-sectional images of the human anatomy.
"They are also engaged in research and development on imaging procedures using infrared and ultrasound sources," adds Sajo.
Among the Top-Paying Jobs
A workforce study conducted in 2010 by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) concluded that the number of new medical physicists required to meet demand would increase from 158 to more than 190 per year for radiation oncology physicists and remain at 30 for diagnostic imaging physicists through 2030. The current annual production is 43 radiation oncologists and seven diagnostic imaging medical physicists, which leaves a significant shortage.
"Because of this shortage and because of the significant expertise needed in this field, the salary of medical physicists is among the top professions," notes Sajo.
According to the 2010 survey by the AAPM, the median salary for recent graduates without board certification is $105,000 at the M.S. level. With board certification and three years' experience, this becomes $131,000. The overall median salary for a certified professional with a master's degree is $175,000.
Development-Driven Research
"The M.S. program is designed to be two years plus one summer semester, although the typical academic plan may be different due to elective courses and the length of thesis research," explains Sajo. "The duration of the Ph.D. program depends on the student's academic progress, and it is usually between four and six years. Both the M.S. thesis and Ph.D. dissertation must be based on hypothesis- or development-driven research, and the student is expected to submit the results to a peer-reviewed journal."
In addition to Sajo, other faculty members include Prof. Clayton French, who is the graduate coordinator for radiological sciences, Assoc. Profs. Mark Tries and Anna Yaroslavsky, and adjunct faculty from other leading institutions, including Lahey Clinic, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Tufts University Medical Center, Mass. General Hospital, UMass Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

I like the concept of geo-fencing, and I am wondering if accutracking would consider adding "corridor" fencing.
The corridor will have similar concept as geo fencing, but rectangular in shape. The purpose is to allow tracking if a unit goes out of a pre-set route.
For example, the corridor support will allow us to set a fence along a highway/street between two points, and be alerted if a unit goes through an unscheduled detour outside of the corridor.

Editor's note: the following is our second article from Joshua Clark Davis, who previously wrote about connections between soul music in the Carolinas and Washington, DC.
As many Carolina Soul readers were saddened to learn last week, the famed jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd passed away on February 4. Few of his obituaries, however, mention the tremendous impact that he made on the music scene in Durham in the 1970s and 1980s, in particular at North Carolina Central University. At NCCU Byrd mentored the group New Central Connection Unlimited (also known as N.C.C.U.) and secured a major album deal for them in 1977. As Aaron Mills, the group's bassist (and later recording artist with Cameo and Outkast) recalled in an interview this week, Byrd "took the time to teach people—I can never thank him enough."
This story begins in 1967, when Gene Strassler, chairman of NCCU's Music department, "telephoned Donald Byrd to inquire if he would bring some of his associates in jazz down to Durham to set up a series of lecture-demonstrations." At the time, Byrd was best known as a veteran of New York's hard-bop scene of the 1950s and early 1960s.
As Strassler recalled years later, "This series continued over a four year period and the enthusiasm generated was remarkable. Not surprising, from these early sessions emerged a concept for a jazz curriculum" at NCCU. (Strassler recently passed away as well, on December 30, at the age of eighty-seven.)
For the first half of the 1970s, Byrd worked as a professor at Howard University in Washington, DC, which at the start of the decade had become the first historically black college or university in the country to offer a bachelor's degree in jazz studies. At the same time, Byrd was releasing the most commercially successful material of his career, much of it funky jazz and fusion for Blue Note Records.
During this time, Byrd also served as a mentor, producer, co-founder, and writer for the Blackbyrds, jazz-funk crossover luminaries who were his students at Howard. Much more than a campus ensemble, the Blackbyrds achieved considerable chart success with hits like their homage to the DC outdoors, Rock Creek Park.
By the 1975-76 academic year, however, Byrd had packed his bags for Durham, where he would become a professor at NCCU's music department, and help to found the school's Institute of Jazz Studies.
Early in his tenure at NCCU, Byrd told Billboard magazine that he wanted the school's music department to be the first "where the students make money for the school as opposed to most black schools where 90% of the students are on scholarship." Just as he had done with the Blackbyrds, at NCCU Byrd offered classes on both jazz and the entertainment business in the hopes of teaching talented students how to make commercially viable music.
Yet even in the 1970s, most music departments at HBCUs emphasized the teaching of traditionally European forms of music over African American genres. As he explained to Billboard, Byrd had a different vision: "I am trying to get black college music departments across the country to start giving these kids a chance to do something realistic as opposed to aspiring to be opera singers."
At NCCU, Byrd recruited Stanley Baird, a recent graduate of the university, to work as an adjunct professor in the new jazz program. Baird also played in his own group, which was based on the other side of the state, in Asheville. One day Baird asked Byrd if he would produce his group like he had the Blackbyrds, and Byrd agreed, but only on one condition: all of the group's members had to study or work in NCCU's jazz program. Problematically, three of the group's key members—Thomas "Bonnie" Clyde, Norris Duckett, and Aaron Mills—didn't even live in Durham. But Baird convinced the trio to move to the Bull City, and Byrd ensured that the school accepted them as students.
Together with three other students—Clifton Cotton, Marion "Mouse" Wiggins, and Charlie Brown—the musicians formed a funk-disco outfit that they dubbed the New Central Connection Unlimited, better known as N.C.C.U. In 1977, Byrd secured a major label deal with United Artists to release their debut album entitled Supertrick. The long-player's standout track is "Bull City Party," perhaps the all time greatest Durham anthem, which Byrd co-wrote. Byrd also produced the album, and department chair Strassler wrote the liner notes.
Although N.C.C.U. never made another album and disbanded within several years, many alums of the group enjoyed professional music careers for years to come. Bassist Aaron Mills, for example, joined the famed 1980s R&B outfit Cameo and played on their monster hits "Candy" and "Word Up." In the 2000s, Atlanta's hip-hop duo Outkast sought him out to contribute bass lines to such hits as "Ms. Jackson" and "So Fresh, So Clean".
A recent viewing of NCCU yearbooks shows that Byrd was last pictured in the 1983 edition. By the late 1980s, he had moved on to work in jazz programs at North Texas University and Delaware State, while the 1990s saw a big revival in interest in his career with many hip hop producers mining his catalog for samples.
Donald Byrd will be remembered by most people for his great music. But we shouldn't forget how he also devoted himself to educating a younger generation of musicians. Aaron Mills recalls how Byrd "made us make good grades to keep the band together." Indeed, Byrd was the rare hit-maker who felt as comfortable in the classroom as on stage. As Mills tells it, Byrd "was our coach," and he "knew how to bring the best out of people…He did a lot for us." Almost forty years since its founding, Central's jazz program is still going strong and stands as Byrd's most enduring legacy in Durham. "That jazz program that's flourishing over there," Stanley Baird explains, "that's because of him."
Rest in peace, Mr. Byrd. The Bull City salutes you.

Projection people aren't an entirely new phenomenon, but this Mask-bot — a new yammering robo-visage from German and Japanese researchers — was built to give robots emotive faces and to replace conference calls with talking heads.
Is this more or less unnerving than telepresence machines like Telenoid R1? We'll let you be the judge. Explains Technische Universität München of Mask-bot's uses:
By using a projector to beam the 3D image of a face onto the back of a plastic mask, and a computer to control voice and facial expressions, the researchers have succeeded in creating Mask-bot, a startlingly human-like plastic head. Yet even before this technology is used to give robots of the future a human face, it may well soon be used to create avatars for participants in video conferences [...]
To replicate facial expressions, [researcher] Takaaki Kuratate developed a talking head animation engine – a system in which a computer filters an extensive series of face motion data from people collected by a motion capture system and selects the facial expressions that best match a specific sound, called a phoneme, when it is being spoken. The computer extracts a set of facial coordinates from each of these expressions, which it can then assign to any new face, thus bringing it to life. Emotion synthesis software delivers the visible emotional nuances that indicate, for example, when someone is happy, sad or angry.
Curiously enough, Kuratate cites the singing busts at Walt Disney's Haunted Mansion as the spiritual predecessor of this project. And I'll gladly support any initiative that turns staff meetings into episodes of Max Headroom.

In my last post, I argued for the need to protect the "pro-life" brand. By that, I meant that we pro-lifers should be careful about how we use that term, in order to preserve the integrity and purity of our message, and to avoid confusing people about what it really means to be "pro-life".
Yesterday, at the national convention of the Democratic Party, we saw a perfect example of why it is so important to protect our brand name.
One of the speakers from the main podium of the convention was Sr. Simone Campbell, a religious sister who is also the head of Network, a lobbying group. She is also famous for being one of the so-called "nuns on the bus", who conducted a media-friendly tour this summer to protest a budget proposal offered by Rep. Paul Ryan.
People can certainly differ in good faith about the prudential merits of Mr. Ryan's budget proposal. And people can certainly evaluate whether it is a good expression of Catholic Social Teaching or not. People can also argue about the propriety of a vowed religious addressing a partisan political event. That's not my concern here.
What I care about is something that Sr. Simone said during her address and in a comment to a reporter — and, most importantly, what she did not say.
During her talk to the convention, Sr. Simone spoke of her support for the Affordable Care Act, and claimed that "This is part of my pro-life stance". When questioned by a reporter before the talk about whether it should be illegal to perform abortions, Sr. Simone said "That's beyond my pay grade. I don't know."
These remarks are simply astonishing from a vowed Catholic religious. Regardless of any benefits of the Affordable Care Act in expanding access to health care, it cannot be reasonably denied that it also expands public support for abortion, and enshrines abortion as a matter of ordinary health care. It will force taxpayers to pay for elective abortions through subsidies to private insurance plans, it will coerce people to pay directly for elective abortions, it will force insurers to pay for elective abortions, and it will force religious individuals and organizations to pay for and promote abortion. If that's all "pro-life", then the term means nothing.
It is also shocking that a vowed Catholic religious would say that she does not know if abortion should be made illegal, and to hide behind a reprehensible evasion by saying that it's "beyond her pay grade". To punt on such a fundamental moral issue is hardly a "pro-life stance".
The teaching of the Catholic Church, as presented in the Catechism, is absolutely clear about this matter:
2273 The inalienable right to life of every innocent human individual is a constitutive element of a civil society and its legislation:
"The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and respected by civil society and the political authority. These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin. Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human being's right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death."
"The moment a positive law deprives a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them, the state is denying the equality of all before the law. When the state does not place its power at the service of the rights of each citizen, and in particular of the more vulnerable, the very foundations of a state based on law are undermined…. As a consequence of the respect and protection which must be ensured for the unborn child from the moment of conception, the law must provide appropriate penal sanctions for every deliberate violation of the child's rights."
All of that is outrageous enough, but what's even worse is what Sr. Simone did not say. It is essential to recall that earlier in the same evening, the blood-soaked leader of Planned Parenthood — an organization that kills over a quarter of a million unborn children each year — took to the podium and extolled the 100% anti-life policies of the President and his Administration.
When it was her turn at the same podium, Sr. Simone had nothing to say about how the pro-abortion policies of the Administration (and their friends at Planned Parenthood) measured up against "her pro-life stance". The sister shared a stage with a representative of an evil organization that is the very epitome of the Culture of Death — and remained silent about the most significant human rights violation of our time.
There is nothing "pro-life" about that.

The I-cord is a tube knitted in the round with two double-pointed needles. Elizabeth Zimmermann named it the Idiot Cord in honor of her accidental discovery of the simple technique. The I-cord is a perfect example of her attitude toward knitting: let it be fun, free of needless complications, and full of discovery. In this picture from The Opinionated Knitter, a wonderful collection of her newsletters, Elizabeth wears an I-cord attached to her glasses. Once you learn to make one, you'll be searching around for anything that might be improved with an I-cord.
Cast On and Knit
To begin, cast on 3 stitches onto one of your double-pointed needles. Knit these 3 stitches normally, from the left needle to the right.
The Slide
Now all 3 stitches are on the right hand needle and the yarn is attached to the left stitch. Slide the stitches from one end of the needle to the other like this:
The Trick of It
Without turning the needle, place the needle in your left hand. The yarn is coming from the far left stitch. Pulling the yarn so that it is snug, knit the 3 stitches from the left to the right needle. Everything is normal EXCEPT the yarn is coming from the last stitch in the row instead of the first when you begin knitting this row.
When you have knit all 3 stitches onto the right needle, slide the stitches from one end of the double-pointed needle to the other. Repeat these steps, pulling the yarn snug at the beginning of each row to insure even stitches. Bind off normally.

The San Jose Earthquakes' 2-1 victory against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday featured a bevy of breakthroughs: First road victory of the season, first win of any sort for debutant interim coach Mark Watson and perhaps most importantly, the first goal in 2013 for Steven Lenhart.
In Watson's initial match replacing former boss Frank Yallop, the Quakes got back to using one of Yallop's favorite mixes of personnel, with Lenhart and Alan Gordon teaming up in front of reigning league MVP Chris Wondolowski. That triumvirate was devastatingly effective in 2012 but seldom seen this year as Gordon and Lenhart recovered from offseason surgery (two of them in Gordon's case) and both served suspensions.
The target men combined to open an early lead for the Quakes. Gordon flicked on a long pass out of the back from defender Justin Morrow. Lenhart took a touch and slowed to let the ball roll to him, and even as Colorado's Marvell Wynne and Chris Klute tried to close down the space, he let fly from 24 yards, overpowering Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin at the near post.
"Lenny's goal was fantastic," Watson said. "He took it well. It came from some hard work and pressing in the right areas."
Said Wondolowski: "It was some finish by Lenny. He's been knocking on the door. He's been close; it's taken some good saves by keepers to keep him off the board. But I thought today he played really well."
The pair almost created another score in the 66th minute, which would have put the Quakes up 3-0 on the 10-man Rapids and, presumably, saved San Jose some of the nailbiting they underwent in a nervy final 20 minutes. Lenhart was sprung down the center of the pitch by Gordon, but the ensuing chip attempt was far too low to escape Irwin's clutches.
"They don't really base their game off speed," Watson said. "It's more working off each other and holding up the ball, and then bringing guys into play. I thought they did a good job of that tonight."
OPTA Chalkboard: Lenhart kept Colorado defense unsettled early on
Given that Gordon and Lenhart combined for 23 goals last season, getting them back to their dangerous form was high on Watson's list of priorities, with the hope that it would be the first domino to fall for San Jose's scuffling offense.
In that regard, Saturday's performance worked out very much as planned; when Lenhart drew the attention of Rapids center back Drew Moor in the 52nd minute by posting up for a potential pass just inside Colorado's defensive third, midfielder Sam Cronin surged into the empty space behind the pair. Rafael Baca delivered a well-weighted ball and Cronin slotted home past Irwin for a 2-0 lead that would hold up, if barely.
"It was great," Cronin said of Lenhart's goal. "If we can get them going, along with Wondo, it's a pretty formidable strike force we have going. They were great tonight, just holding the ball up, really battling and making it tough on their center backs."

Merano, in northern Italy, is a city filled with tradition and history. Its residents have included artists, intellectuals and scientists of acclaim.
The favourable climate of the mountain town attracts both residents and visitors, as does the culture. The rich history, while appreciated by the public, also means areas of the town were created centuries ago. The streets in this city are often narrow and winding.
While picturesque, they are a challenge when it's time to pave. That was the case when Italian paving contractor Varesco Ltd. put a Cat® AP500E Asphalt Paver to work on a project on via E. Toti.
Varesco chose the AP500E because the wheeled paver is a perfect fit for a confined site with an abundance of manholes. The company also wanted to test the paver's performance, and evaluate whether it could be of use in other challenging jobs.
The job was paving an access road leading to a residential area in Merano, with a population of 38,000. The road was bound by a pathway on one side and a wall on the other.
Varesco first was responsible for rebuilding the sub-base (20 cm handled by the AP500E), then placing an 8 cm binder course. A 3 cm surface course was added in the spring.
This road was 100 m long and only 4m wide. The paver's ability to accommodate paving widths as narrow as 2.55 m made it ideal for the narrow road. The ample ground clearance was beneficial as well, allowing the paver to pass over manhole covers without interference.
The asphalt plant was located in Bolzano, about 25 km away. Three-axle trucks transported the mix, which arrived at a temperature of about 180° C. The trailers were covered to keep the mix warm as it traveled through the thin mountain air. Supervisors calculated the distance, type of job, speed of paver and other factors when determining the number of trucks needed for each day of work.
The asphalt was placed at a temperature of about 170° C. The crew had no problems with the temperature of the mix, which was important because the job had other challenges in addition to the tight working area.
Adjustable operator stations helped the crew work close to the curb and wall. Each station could be positioned in different locations to maximise visibility. The stations also can extend out beyond the machine frame when even greater side visibility is required.
The frequent starts and stops caused by manholes presented additional challenges. Creating an even, smooth mat despite the lack of continuous movement required precise delivery of mix from the hopper through the screed. Adding to this precision were the paver's tight ratio control and independent auger drive. These components enabled the proper distribution and allocation of mix when paving resumed.
Also key to a smooth restart was the wheeled paver's ability to grab the surface and effortlessly pull the paver and its full load of asphalt. This capability, combined with a screed counterbalance system that manages and neutralises screed weight and movement during the start and stop transitions, helps to prevent defects on the surface of the mat.
The paver proved quite productive. It was able to average about 5 m per minute despite the challenges created by the manholes and other obstructions.
In addition, manoeuvrability of the paver and quick adjustment of the Cat AS4252C Screed proved important on the narrow street. "The paver has a great screed, with optimum steering," said Mr. Heinz Serra, operator of the paver. The inside turning radius in the "maoeuvre" operating mode is very short, enabling the machine to move easily, even make a complete U-turn, in confined spaces without complex manoeuvring. Because of this, the paver easily and immediately repositioned where necessary.
The screed's central display helped ensure an even flow of materials. It also enabled other improvements.
"The new central display on the screed makes all the key data easily accessible in one place," said Mr. Serra. "It enables the operator to check the temperatures of the four sections of the screed, the number of strokes of the tamper bar, which number is modified according to the thickness of the mat, the frequency of the vibrating screed, and the barometric adjustment of the screed assist."
A 4-ton roller handled breakdown compaction immediately behind the paver. The compactor, in vibratory mode, made as many passes as necessary to achieve compaction.
The breakdown roller stayed between 5 m and 20 m behind the paver. The temperature of the mat was about 130º C during the breakdown process. A finish roller completed the process.
Mr. Serra reflected on the paver's performance after the Merano project, as well as a test at another jobsite in the mountains surrounding Merano. On that project, Varesco tested the AP500E on a road with a slope so steep the transport truck trailers were covered to prevent material from spilling out the back. The results of both tests led Varesco to purchase the paver.
"The machine is quite easy to move according to your needs in any working environment, from small jobsites like residential street works to industrial yards, from local and regional streets to narrow mountain roads that represent the majority of our jobs," he said. "I appreciate the electronically controlled traction, the recovering of fumes, the perfect operation of the electric screed and the easy access to all major service points for daily maintenance."

It is finally time... Lacey got to join her sister in extracurricular activities this year. Lilia did dance classes for two years before recently moving to gymnastics. It was a good move for her, and I kind of hoped Lacey would choose gymnastics, but when given the choice she insisted on dance classes. I love that my girls have different personalities and different interests! Her class is a ballet/tap/tumbling combination class. They work on all three for 15 minutes each.
Lacey is a cute little ballerina. This is her posing all ready to leave for her first class.
Here she is sitting with the rest of the class in their tap shoes. What a cutie!
Afterward, they remove the tap shoes and do some tumbling barefoot.

SWEET STORY: Not every denizen at an aquarium happens to be born at the aquarium. Take Pup 572, for example. He was found on a stretch of beach near Cayucos just after the new year. No mom was with the six-pound boy, but he did yield a painful clue to what happened -- a laceration, possibly from a shark bite. The Monterey Bay Aquarium took him in and nursed him, turning him over to Joy, the institution's go-to otter for surrogating wee pups in need (Pup 572 is Joy's 16th otter). He's doing well, so 572 has just joined the Sea Otter Exhibit at the aquarium as of Valentine's Day.
SEE HIM NOW: If you're going to see him. How long he stays depends on his relationship with Joy, say aquarium reps. He's gained nine pounds since arriving in Monterey, and is a "robust, healthy, developmentally normal" little guy (and, of note: He's the youngest pup to ever join the exhibit). The aquarium also said that pups arriving with great white bites are not uncommon. If you can't see 572 in person, you can check out the live OtterCam. Oh, and that slightly sci-fi name, which springs from the fact that he's the 572nd rescued pup? He'll get a new, less-number-y moniker when he heads for a new home (another "accredited facility," note) some time nearer the close of 2012.

Here's Ozzie:
If we're going to make a trade, is the player going to make the difference? Like I always say, when you make a trade for a big-name guy, it doesn't give you any guarantee you're going to win the division. That's why you have to be careful. You have to notice what you want in the future, what you're future is going to be and how much you're going to win it. That's a different thing to go through for that idea. …

"We have to (know) for sure what's coming next," Guillen said Saturday. "I don't think we're going to give up three or four players, key players, for the future, just to rent a player for year. I don't think that works. But that's Kenny (Williams') job, that's Kenny's call. And I don't see that happening if he wants to give up many players."

Yes! This is a perfect thread for those of use not quite in the position to write 1000 words a day at the moment (for whatever reason). I NEVER write 1000 words. What does that say?Today, I will work on my WIP. Yup. Today, I'll do it! (As soon as I finish catching up on the Blueboards . . . ;-) )
dayThanks for this thread, Verla. No actual typing today, but, like Jayca, I worked on brainstorming, fleshing out the story. Notecards for characters and scenes.

COLCOA French fest opens and Noir City Hollywood closes
It's a busy time for film buffs in Los Angeles.
The COLCOA French Film Festival opens tonight, Monday, April 20, with an elegant reception and the opening night film, a thriller called "A Perfect Man," directed and co-written by Yann Gozlan and starring Pierre Niney and Ana Girardot.
It's a story of shifting identities as a struggling author stumbles upon a wildly unethical way to make the best-seller list.
With echoes of Patricia Highsmith's Mr. Ripley, "A Perfect Man" strikes us as a divinely decadent way to kick off this wonderful festival, now in its 19th year.
There is much to see this year (check the COLCOA site for info on free screenings and cool events) and we are counting the days until Friday's Film Noir Series.
The fest takes place at the Directors Guild of America, 7920 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, 90046.
Sunday was the closing day of an essential film fest, for noiristas and others: Noir City Hollywood, presented by the American Cinematheque in collaboration with the Film Noir Foundation. The foundation's urbane noirphiles Eddie Muller and Alan K. Rode were on hand throughout the fest to introduce the movies. This year, they brought another excellent selection (heavy on adaptations of the great master of pulp suspense Cornell Woolrich).
The lineup included a real find: the American debut of three almost unknown but brilliantly done and stunningly visualized film noirs from Argentina: "The Black Vampire" (Roman Vinoly Barreto, 1953), a remake of Fritz Lang's "M," and superb adaptations of Woolrich stories in "Never Open That Door" (Carlos Hugo Christensen, 1952) and "If I Should Die Before I Wake" (Christensen, 1952).
The fest wrapped up with a four-movie proto-noir marathon:
"The Ninth Guest" (1934, Roy William Neill) a mystery with a generous dollop of Deco glam.
"Let Us Live" (1939, John Brahm) featuring the great Henry Fonda as a wrongly identified killer and a riveting performance from Maureen O'Sullivan as his girlfriend.
"Heat Lightning" (1934, Mervyn LeRoy) a pre-Code delight about two sisters (Aline MacMahon and Ann Dvorak) running a garage and car-repair shop in the desert and ridding the place of rats, such as fleeing criminal and old flame (Preston Foster).
"Safe in Hell" (1931, William Wellman) Dorothy MacKaill is unforgettable as a sparkling blonde siren who spends the entire movie fighting off men as she waits in vain on a Caribbean island to be with the guy she truly loves (Donald Cook).
My attendance was spotty this year because I had to leave town unexpectedly (such is life for a femme fatale) but my colleague Mark Harrington caught quite a few.
Other highlights from this year's fest were: "Woman on the Run," "The Underworld Story," "Abandoned," "Circle of Danger," "Berlin Express," "Ride the Pink Horse," "The Fallen Sparrow," and "The Guilty" as well as that triple bill of Argentinian film noir.
The closing-weekend party was loads of fun, especially since I won a nifty raffle prize! I definitely needed my drink tickets that night. Why? By the small but mighty curveball in "The Guilty" when the lead character (Don Castle) reveals that he is studying "commercial geography" to land a good job.
What??? Education and hard work to get ahead? Was the movie going to start preaching about the virtues of a work ethic? Aaargh! Thankfully, this was, in fact, a temporary glitch and the character turned out to be crazy-bad.
Phew! I was freaked out there for a moment but everything was just as it should be in Noirville.

We reported on a study back in January that women who get three or more embryos implanted during IVF didn't have a higher chance of getting pregnant than women who only had one or two implanted. In fact, the birth rates for those women with multiple embryos implanted were lower than those who had just one. Now, it looks like more people are going that way — implanting single embryos, which reduces the rate of multiple births.
According to TODAY Moms, more women are opting for single-embryo transplants because of lower pregnancy health risks and technological advancements that have made them almost as effective as multiple-embryo transplants. While many clinics are seeing that their patients are transferring single embryos, at other clinics, patients are very skeptical and don't want to go through another IVF cycle (it's expensive and invasive). Many fertility experts at clinics are working with their patients to explain the risks for baby and mom when there's a multiple embryo transfer — both during pregnancy and after birth. Also, clinics are making sure that the healthiest embryo is transplanted, giving women a higher chance at conceiving.
What do you think of single-embryo transplants? If you were to do IVF, would you try more than one transplant at a time or stick with just one?

Serious Eats Visits the Blue Island Oyster Company, Long Island
You have your Kumamotos, your Bluepoints, your Wellfleets. And, if you look at the menu at some oyster bars, dozens and dozens more. But what's really in an oyster name? And how much does that name tell you about the oyster?
There are only five unique species of oysters harvested in the U.S., but the flavor nuances depend on where the oysters come from (or "merroir," the oceanic equivalent of terroir); how the water is filtered; and how the oysters are handled. Oysters feed by constantly filtering the water they're in, so they pick up plenty of the salt, the plant life, and whatever else happens to be floating around their habitat.
Most oysters have place-referencing names. Island Creeks (after the freshwater outlet in Duxbury Bay, MA); Otter Coves (from the Puget Sound); you get the picture. But the Blue Island Oyster Company on the Long Island Sound chose a New York icon, the naked dude in Times Square, as its oyster namesake.
"I was just driving down Seventh Avenue one day and saw the Naked Cowboy playing his guitar," said Chris Quartuccio of Blue Island Oyster Company. "And it clicked." Quartuccio was looking for an eye-catching name for his special diver-harvested oysters. So he called up the Naked Cowboy (we had to wonder: where does that man keep his phone?) in 2009 and asked for his permission first. The Cowboy, whose real name is Robert John Burck, said yes and is now making some sweet oyster royalties.
"It's become our best seller," said Quartuccio without hesitation. Last year he sold around 3.5 million Naked Cowboys to establishments across the country, including the John Dory Oyster Bar, Grand Central Oyster Bar, the B.R. Guest restaurants, and Legal Seafood.
What sets the Naked Cowboy apart from other Blue Island oysters, which are farmed in nets six inches below the water, is that Quartuccio and his team of six dive down 20 feet to hand-pick each Naked Cowboy off the Long Island sound floors. These oysters take about three years to reach full market size (three inches), by which time they're plump and meaty. Briny with a mineral-rich, vegetal flavor. You feel like you're slurping up a spoonful of that salty ocean nectar with each oyster.
And we slurped down quite a few (three dozen between the three of us? four?) on our visit to the Blue Island Oyster farm. After a seaplane ride from the East River, we landed on the water (it's always fun when your landing strip is water) near the farm, which is located at the Great South Bay, situated between Long Island and Fire Island.
While kayaking between oyster beds, we learned about the life cycles of the oysters, and why some times of year are better for oysters than others. During the summer, the oysters devote much of their energy to reproduction, so they're thinner and less ready to be eaten. "You don't want to eat oysters right after they spawn. They're so depleted. They can't even smoke a cigarette," one of our new oyster farmer friends told us. "They can barely order out for delivery." — Erin Zimmer, Max Falkowitz, Carey Jones

The 5 Best Valentine's Day Candy to Gorge on (Regardless of Your Relationship Status)
Here are some of our favorite candies that are only available from roughly the second week of January to February 15th, when they are wonderfully half price!
Nothing says classy like a balled-up Kleenex shaped hunk of chocolate being wrapped in red foil and presented on a stick.
The little guys are cinnamon-flavored candies that are hard to find 11 months of the year, and on every store shelf the other month. Nothing says romance like your mouth being on fire! [Bonus: Check out a recipe for Red Hots Cupcakes on Cupcakeblog.com.]
Red Lollipops, preferably heart-shaped, preferably with white writing on them
These are an old standby that used to come attached to Valentines. Most of the year you'd throw a crappy treat like a red lollipop away, but in February, you can't cram enough of them into your mouth!
Heart-Shaped Box of Chocolates
Sure, you can get chocolates the rest of the year, but can you get them in a heart-shaped box? Feeling that faux-satin between your fingers as you lift the lid, which inevitably will make a trumpety fart sound as it's being opened, makes the whole experience so much more magical.
Conversation Hearts -- the classic Valentine's Day candy
The rest of the year, they are just NECCO wafers, which no one seems to like, but for a few weeks, they are compressed into heart shapes, branded with flirty messages, and we can't get enough of them!

Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln and Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. 🙂
Please tell me you saw the guy in jorts, Dolphins gear and a mullet!! It was so good and I was hoping to see it this morning.
Maybe they told Colome to turn his cap in If this doesn't work out
My favorite scenes of the night were the Ruthian cuts of Colome's first AB where he ended up on one knee and Maddon and Hickey almost cracking up.
Also the distractive nature of the stratedgically placed Clevelander nightclub to the denizens of the opposing buillpen . If its anything like its father the Clevelander on south beach--- its a distraction all right. But like true pros the Rays relievers kept thier composure.

- Queensland prices: From July 2011, the price of certificates purchased from the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages has risen to $37.
- Queensland tips: Problem-solving and money-saving tips re Queensland certificates are in my book Tips for Queensland Research.

- England / Wales tips: You may be lucky enough to find details from a certificate, or contact someone who has a copy, via postems on FreeBMD.
- Parish registers: Even if you have bought a civil registration certificate, it is a good idea to look for a parish register entry, as it may give extra information. I have seen this in my own research in both New South Wales and England. A parish register entry may also be more accurate than the notoriously unreliable typed certificates issued in Queensland for events after 1889.
- Transcription Agents: I have personally used the services of two of the certificate transcription agents for NSW, and I can recommend them both: Marilyn Rowan and Joy Murrin. As yet there is no similar service available in Queensland.

Video from TMZ.com.
From CNN.com:
Rapper DMX has found himself in trouble with the law again, this time with a DUI charge in South Carolina, authorities said Friday.
Troopers in Greenville pulled over in a 1978 Plymouth station wagon Thursday night after spotting it traveling erratically, the South Carolina Highway Patrol said. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was driving, he was given a field sobriety test and failed, the agency said.
The rapper was charged with driving under the influence, driving without a license and driving without a seat belt, the patrol said..
However, his publicist, Domenick Nati, said DMX wasn't arrested for DUI.
"He was arrested early this morning but quickly released," Nati told CNN. "X was given a breathalyzer test and easily passed it. He is back at his home in South Carolina and we are continuing our focus on his upcoming album and acting roles."
But the state highway patrol responded to a CNN inquiry Friday evening by repeating that the 42-year-old rapper was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, driving without a license and driving without a seat belt.
DMX has faced various criminal charges in the past, including probation violation, illegal drug possession and animal cruelty.
Maricopa County, Arizona, authorities said he was arrested five times after August 2007. That included a May 2008 arrest on drug and animal cruelty charges, when Simmons attempted to barricade himself inside his Cave Creek home, sheriff's deputies said.
Simmons also ran into trouble while in prison, being placed on "lockdown status" and forced to eat only bread and water for "jailhouse infractions." In February 2009, he threw a food tray in anger at a corrections officer, according to the sheriff's office.
In 2010 he was sent to prison after violating his probation. Four days later DMX was admitted to the Flamenco Mental Health unit for an undisclosed disorder.

Alchemy: Brown trades metal for classics
The audiences for classical guitarist Greg Brown may have difficulty imagining Brown as a metal band rocker. But he's proud to defend his metal history.
"I learned more through metal music than I did at school," Brown admits. Having joined his first band at 14, he spent his teenage years playing Van Halen, Scorpions, and Metallica tunes around his hometown in South Florida.
In the late 1980s, while touring the Atlantic Coast and playing benefit concerts for Amnesty International and the victims of Hurricane Andrew, his band, The Village Idiots, received a letter from Capital and Relativity Records suggesting the possibility of a recording contract. It could have been a turning point in his career, but the companies were in the midst of a merger, and the Village Idiots had some internal problems.
"We ended up disbanding in the early 1990s," Brown says. The record deal never materialized.
Brown then turned his attention to classical guitar. He began to study with master guitarists, including Anthony Glise, who was nominated for a Pulitzer for composition.
"I found a new level of creative freedom and an intimacy with the instrument that had been covered by the effects and amplification of electric guitar," he says.
Now a well-known classical guitarist with three compact discs to his credit and a performing and promotion schedule that takes him all over the country, Brown has just completed his most recent composing and recording project, Distant Places.
The disc reflects his eclectic background and interests. "In addition to pieces based on the American Blues, there are also Spanish and Chinese works and compositions for orchestras and electric guitar," he says.
Brown, now 32, relocated to Charlottesville in 1992. Through his association with area schools where he has taught guitar and chorus, he got to know the local musical community.
He soon became a member of the Charlottesville Classical Guitar Society and began performing with the Camerata Rotunda Chamber Orchestra. In 1999, he premiered the composition that would become the title track of his second recording project, "Transylvania," at UVA as an invited artist in the Charlottesville Chamber Orchestra series.
Recently back from a promotional tour in Miami and an appearance at the Sun Waves Festival, Brown says he's receiving inquiries from publishing companies in California and Germany, and his work is already catalogued in university libraries in Arizona, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, and at Yale.
"The wheels are turning now," says the former metal man who shows no signs of looking back. "I can see myself playing classical guitar at 80. Heavy metal was a trend; what I'm doing now is a lifelong ambition."

So you are looking for your first snowboard; whether it is your first board or the 5th one in your quiver, nothing is quite has the same combination of excitement and being overwhelmed. There are so many choices out there, how do you know what boards will work for you? This blog entry is designed to make the decision process a little less over whelming and to just add to the excitement of your purchase.
There are a few questions you need to ask yourself when selecting a snowboard; what size boots/shoes do I wear, how much do I weigh, and what kind of riding do I want to do. Answer each one of these honestly and you are on your way to choosing the perfect board.
Snowboard Width
The first question to ask yourself is, "What size boots (or shoes) do I wear?" I understand that this may sound like putting the cart before the horse but there is nothing worse than getting totally stoked on a particular board, only to find out that it doesn't come in a wide model. Most companies target their wide boards for riders whose feet are a size 11 or larger. Some boards are consider mid-wides and they are designed for that tweener 10-11 ½ rider (usually in freeride snowboards). Mid-wides are not quite narrow waisted and not quite a wide board.
If you get on a board that is too narrow (a size 12 on a narrow board), what happens is you get a lot of toe and heel drag. This will hinder the performance of the board, handicap the rider, and make for some pretty wicked spills.
If you get on a board that is too wide (a size 9 on a wide board), the board becomes too stable of a platform and causes the rider to have to over commit to get the board up on edge. Think of an ice skate tipping from one edge to the other, compared to if your shoes were nailed to a 3′ wide piece of plywood. To get the plywood to go up on its side, you would have to lean way over (using a lot more energy) before the opposite edge would come off of the ground, meanwhile it is almost effortless on the ice skate.
Snowboard Size
The second question is, "How much do I weigh?" This is a pretty simple and straight forward question that will get in the "size range." Remember a board can only feel how much you weigh and not how tall you are (there are exceptions to this rule; short heavy guys and tall skinny guys). Every model of every brand will have a weight range for each size board (an generic size chart can be found here). For example, I weigh 160lbs. (size 8 boot) and I am looking at getting the new Burton Custom V-Rocker, the size chart tells me that I can ride the 151, 154, 156, 159, and 163…that is every size! How did that help? That is when we move on to the next question…
Style of Snowboard
Answering, "What kind/type of riding do I do?" will help you narrow down the board/brand's size range. If the park is where you ride size down and fit yourself to the top of the weight range (151 or 154 Custom V-Rocker). If you are looking to do it all and kick it freestyle/all-mountain, stay in the middle of the weight range (156 or 159 Custom V-Rocker). Or if you are wanting to slaysh some big mountainy/freeride lines and have that extra float in the fresh, stay to the lower end of the weight range (163 Custom V-Rocker).
This is the hardest question to answer because of the "gray" areas, just remember: shorter equals less swing weight/more control at park speeds and longer equals more stability at speed/more float in powder.
Along with where you ride, the other factors that will help determine the size board that you get into will be is; board stiffness, level of riding, and height/weight anomalies. A stiffer board will handle speed better but it tougher to turn and manipulate at slow speeds and therefore can sometimes be ridden shorter. Novice riders can always benefit from having less swing weight or edge hold, a shorter board will help them learn board feel and turning. If you are tall and thin, you may consider sizing up just to balance out the amount of leverage that you will have on the board. Conversely if you are shorter and heavier, you may want to size down a touch so that the board is not too long and too hard to control.
