Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd won't seek reelection, will retire at end of term
By Chris Cillizza
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, January 6, 2010; A01
Embattled Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) has scheduled a news conference for Wednesday at which he is expected to announce he will not seek reelection, sources familiar with his plans said Tuesday night.
Word of Dodd's retirement plans comes after months of speculation about his political future, his faltering poll numbers and a growing sense among the Democratic establishment that he could not win a sixth term in the Senate. The news also came on the same day Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.) announced he would not seek reelection.
Once among the safest of incumbents, Dodd's political star fell over a two-year period, during which he moved his family to Iowa to pursue the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination and was linked to a VIP mortgage loan program overseen by a controversial Wall Street financier. He also drew harsh questions about his oversight of Wall Street, as chair of the Senate Banking Committee, in the years when the nation's financial system was heading toward near collapse.
Dodd's poll numbers plummeted last spring before rebounding somewhat over the summer. But another dive in the polls late last year led to widespread concern that Dodd needed to vacate the seat for Democrats to have a chance at retaining it in the 2010 elections.
Dodd's troubles were politically ironic, coming at a time when his power on Capitol Hill had reached a height that most legislators only dream of. In addition to the banking committee, he also held pivotal posts on the health and foreign relations committees.
Over the past 18 months, he has been the primary author or co-author of legislation rewriting housing mortgage rules; the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street; key portions of the $787 billion stimulus package; a consumer protection bill overseeing the credit card industry; and the nearly $900 billion health-care legislation that has passed the Senate and is in final negotiations with the House now.
With each major piece of legislation Dodd ushered into law, the senator also endured criticism that he did not anticipate. The mortgage bill came in mid-2008, which some said was delayed because of Dodd's presidential aspirations, and the financial bailout became one of the most unpopular pieces of legislation passed in recent memory. His work on the stimulus bill, approved last February, was an attempt to rein in executive compensation at firms that had been bailed out but instead led to sharp criticism when executives at AIG, the largest recipient of taxpayer dollars, still received seven-figure bonuses shortly thereafter.
Without Dodd on the ballot, Republicans' chances of taking over a seat in solid-blue Connecticut are considerably diminished.
Richard Blumenthal (D), who has served as state attorney general since 1990, is widely expected to declare his candidacy for the seat. The most popular politician in the state, Blumenthal has long coveted a Senate seat, and he had already signaled that he would run for the Democratic nomination against Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I) in 2012.
Former Rep. Rob Simmons and businesswoman Linda McMahon are battling for the Republican nomination, but either would start as an underdog in a general-election match-up with Blumenthal.
Dodd, 65, was elected to the Senate in 1980, after three terms in the House, following the path blazed by his father, Thomas. By the early 1990s, Chris Dodd had set his sights on Senate leadership.
He ran for Democratic leader in the wake of the 1994 elections, but he lost in a close race to Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.). President Bill Clinton selected Dodd to chair the Democratic National Committee, overseeing Clinton's reelection as president in 1996, but the DNC's fundraising practices during the 1996 campaign landed him in some political hot water.
After Daschle was voted out of office in 2004, Dodd considered jumping into the race to succeed him, but he quickly stepped aside when he realized Sen. Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) had overwhelming support to claim the post.
Instead, Dodd began laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign in 2008. Always a long shot in a field filled with better-known and better-financed candidates, he moved his family to Iowa in fall 2007 in hopes of generating some excitement for his bid. But the move backfired in Connecticut, where voters bristled.
The next year, it was reported that Dodd had received special treatment in his acquisition of a mortgage loan from Countrywide Financial, through a program that labeled him and others as friends of Countrywide chief executive Angelo Mozilo. Dodd insisted he was unaware of his inclusion in the program, and he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Senate Ethics Committee, but the political damage was done.

Andrea Stramaccioni saw the 4-1 victory over Tottenham as "a fundamental sign" for the rest of Inter's season and even joked about his job prospects.
The Nerazzurri seemed done for after losing the first leg 3-0 at White Hart Lane, but a 3-0 victory forced extra time where they eventually went out on away goals, 4-4 on aggregate.
"It was an important performance tonight," Stramaccioni told Sky Sport Italia.
"There was a strange atmosphere and so much criticism... We always give our response on the field. We made a huge step forward in terms of our football too, finding certainties that we haven't always had. We are all united and want to end this season on a high."
Stramaccioni even made fun of the rumours he is due to be replaced by Mircea Lucescu.
"Massimo Moratti called me yesterday and said: 'Hello, Lucescu?' I replied 'No, it's still the other guy.' The President is fantastic.
"This is a fundamental sign we send today and the only positive I can see from this evening is that we won't have midweek games to worry about. It was our best performance of the season."
Inter looked like a completely different team from the one that lost so badly in London only a week ago.
"We had suffered a lot with Moussa Dembele and Scott Parker, whereas today we decided to leave more space to the full-backs. They were more worried and didn't take advantage of the extra room.
"The team shook off its fear and always held the initiative. It's a shame about the result, as we conceded on a distraction after so many scoring opportunities."
Stramaccioni was asked whether this amazing comeback can give Inter the psychological boost they need against Sampdoria on Sunday evening or represent extra fatigue.
"Playing 120 minutes at an incredible level of intensity is tough and some players ended in precarious conditions, but I saw a team that made big steps forward today.
"Now we have a mini-tournament to play in the final 10 Serie A rounds. We've got Samp on Sunday, then Juventus after that.
"The important thing is that today Inter gave their response, showed that we are united and that we won't be broken by the criticism."

Australia to take on NZ in sevens semi
Australia have set-up a semi-final blockbuster against New Zealand, after an epic come-from-behind rugby sevens victory against Wales kept their Commonwealth Games medal hopes alive.
Helpless as the Welsh ran in three unanswered tries in the opening few minutes to go up 19-0, former Australian Institute of Sport volleyballer Pama Fou scored more than a minute after the fulltime siren, with Cam Clark kicking the conversion, to secure a remarkable 21-19 win.
After the heartbreak of the final in Delhi 2010, Australia have a shot at redemption against the all-conquering Kiwis, who have never lost a single match in four Commonwealth Games.
New Zealand had some anxious moments against Kenya in their quarter, but prevailed 19-7.
Tries from Ed Jenkins on the stroke of halftime and Melbourne Rebels star Sean McMahon with three and a half left on the clock lifted Australia off the canvas after the original shock of the Welsh onslaught in front of a pro-Welsh crowd at a packed Ibrox Stadium.
But the definitive moment was a late try-saving tackle from Commonwealth Games veteran James Stannard which kept Australia alive in the tournament.
Then off the back of three penalties which came following the elapsing of time, Australia went 100 metres before Fou barged through for the match-winner.
"The word for us is team work and that's the epitome of what we just did then. To come back from 19-0 is an outstanding effort from the boys," said Stannard.
"We were all pretty positive (at 19-0 down). We're playing for a medal. There's no use sulking about it, just got to get out there and do the job.
"We're giving the coach a heart attack I think."
Fou - who made an embarrassing stuff-up on day one by not passing to open support - made amends, outlining his rich potential.
"The coach got up me a little bit because off the field I was giggling (after the mistake against England on Saturday)," he said.
"But that was massive from the boys."
In the other semi-final, South Africa will face Samoa - after the Africans beat Scotland and the Pacific Islanders upset England.

One of the first BIG projects I saw on
Pinterest that I fell in love with with this oversized canvas with lyrics to a song.
I knew someday I'd attempt it:
I purchased the materials needed a few weeks ago... and there they sat in the corner as a large pile of procrastination because I just knew how much work this project would be. Well, the perfect motivation struck when the Pinterest Challenge emerged. {Challenge Accepted}
{Lyrics: The Story by Brandi Carlile}
My original original idea was to have it printed on a 45"x60" canvas board but ultimately decided it would be too overpowering in combination with our queen bed, oversized head board, and oversized desk {future DIY project} in our master bedroom. I thought having the lyrics stretched over 6 boards would help break up the space.
Why this song you ask? It was a meaningful song to my husband and I when we were dating, and it was the song we danced too for our First Dance at our wedding.
I'm really loving how it turned out even though there are imperfections {just as most of my DIY projects}. However, there's still something I may add.. it seems a tad small in width in comparison to the headboard so I might add some distressed wood on the sides to add a little more width and help frame it in.
{Did you notice I added height to my headboard!?
I added two more planks to create a more dramatic effect}
I'm trying hard to not get down on myself over imperfections on this project as not all the boards are perfectly aligned (trouble with having Lowe's cut your boards), and I think the distressing works against me in some spots... but overall
What do you think!? Does it work in the space?
I'm so excited to see everyone else's Pinterest Challenge projects that will be linked up!

ESA looking for more European women to volunteer for WISE bed-rest study in Toulouse next year
ESA PR 57-2004. In preparation for the Women International Space Simulation for Exploration (WISE) study, which starts on 22 February next year, an official call for candidates to participate as test subjects was issued on 3 August.
Over 700 women have responded in the 10 weeks since then, demonstrating strong interest in the study among potential participants. However, most of the applications are from France, where the WISE study is to take place, and ESA wishes to ensure that women from all over Europe get the chance to participate.
WISE offers European women a unique opportunity to be part of space research and human spaceflight in Europe. This 60-day study is a joint venture between the European Space Agency (ESA), the French space agency (CNES), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). It will be carried out by MEDES, the French Institute of Medicine and Space Physiology, at its clinical research facility in the Rangueil hospital in Toulouse, France.
WISE will need 24 female test subjects to remain in bed, slightly tilted head down at six degrees below the horizontal, for a total of 60 days. This serves to simulate the physiological effects of an extended period in weightlessness as experienced by astronauts. The study will assess the roles of nutrition and physical exercise in countering the adverse effects of prolonged gravitational unloading during bed-rest.
The 24 test subjects will be divided into three groups, eight in each. One will be the control group, receiving no extra stimulus over the course of the 60-day bed-rest period. The second will be put through an exercise programme while in bed during this time. The third will receive nutritional supplements over the 60 days. For the 21 days prior to the 60-day bed-rest period, the subjects will take part in the collection of baseline data. During the 20 days afterwards they will undergo similar tests for comparison with the baseline data.
The data collected by WISE will form the basis of findings relating to specific areas including muscle condition, blood parameters, cardiovascular condition, changes in immune system, bone formation and psychological wellbeing. All research areas, objectives and protocols of the study have been approved by the relevant French ethical committee in Toulouse and will comply in full with all applicable national and international laws and regulations.
The results expected from WISE will be valuable to the European Space Agency's planning of future long-duration human space exploration missions. This research will also have clinical significance on Earth by obtaining knowledge which can improve methods of recovery for bedridden patients. Studying the early effects of reduced activity on a molecular level is expected to provide further evidence of the benefits of regular exercise in the prevention of conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Details of the selection criteria, the conditions of participation and the application form for women wishing to take part in the bed-rest study can be found at the Medes website.

http://mmajunkie.com AUSTIN, Texas –
Just when it looked like Rousimar Palhares would pull off one of his signature heel-hook victories, Nate Marquardt slipped free his leg and quickly turned the tables for a first-round TKO victory.
But the fight, which headlined Wednesday's UFC Fight Night 22 event, initially came with some controversy.
Once Marquardt pulled his leg free, Palhares looked at his hand and signaled to officials and seemingly complained that his fighter was greased. Marquardt capitalized on the opening and pounded Palhares with a quick barrage of punches.
The stunning finish came at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, and aired on Spike TV prior to the debut episode of "The Ultimate Fighter 12."
The ending, though, wasn't due to any illegal substances. UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan immediately announced that Marquardt had passed an inspection from the ringside physician and the referee.
So why was he slippery?
"I came out really warm because I wanted a good sweat," said Marquardt, who saw teammate Georges St-Pierre deal with greasing allegations from opponent B.J. Penn in 2009. "I wanted to be slippery."
Palhares' mental lapse undoubtedly cost him the fight. While he looked to the officials to protest, Marquardt unloaded the fight-ending barrage of punches. Unable to fight back due to the mounting blows, Palhares could only cover up and wait for the ref's stoppage, which came at the 3:28 mark.
"I just saw an opportunity and jumped on it," Marquardt said. "I went for it."
The victory was a crucial one for Marquardt (30-9-2 MMA, 9-3 UFC), who's desperately wanted abother title shot since falling short in his first attempt back in 2007. But he's now won four of his past five and could be in line for the winner of an upcoming rematch between champ Anderson Silva and challenger Chael Sonnen. Coincidentally, they're two of just three fighters who've defeated Marquardt under the UFC banner.
Palhares, who entered the fight with three straight wins, falls to 11-3 overall and 4-2 in the UFC.
In the night's co-headliner, highly touted Charles Oliveira made the most of his first televised UFC fight and submitted a game and resilient Efrain Escudero in a rousing performance.
Largely a standup affair, Oliveira had the quicker hands and feet, especially when it came to stinging leg kicks, and was slowed only when his lightweight opponent connected on an inadvertent low kick midway through the final frame. With the referee surprisingly unwilling to give the fighter his five minutes of recovery time and rushed back into the final three minutes of the bout, Oliveira quickly shot for a takedown and then took his opponent's back when the "TUF 8" champion tried to escape from the canvas.
With his body lock secured and Escudero in the standing position, Oliveira easily locked in a rear-naked choke that forced a tap-out at the 2:25 mark of the final frame.
Escudero could only shake his head in disbelief.
Oliveira (14-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who submitted Darren Elkins during his August UFC debut, has now stopped all but one of his opponents via submission or knockout. Meanwhile, Escudero (13-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC), who failed to make weight for the fight and was docked 20 percent of his purse, has lost two of his past three fights.
In a tightly contested and evenly matched lightweight bout, Jim Miller outworked a game Gleison Tibau and earned a hard-fought unanimous-decision victory.
Both fighters entered the bout just a win or two away from top-contender status, but Miller pushed the pace, got the edge striking (especially with a second-round straight left that wobbled Tibau) and largely avoided his opponent's takedown attempts to pick up the unanimous-decision victory via scores of 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28.
The fight was closer than the judges' verdicts may indicate, but as has become customary with the Northeast fighter, Miller used a relentless attack to dictate the pace of the fight. He also appeared the more aggressive and active fighter throughout the bout, even when Tibau clipped him with some solid shots.
With tonight's win and previous victories over Mac Danzig, Steve Lopez, Duane Ludwig and Mark Bocek, Miller (18-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) quietly has pieced together a five-fight win streak, which is no small feat in the world's top promotion. And aside from previous losses to now-UFC champ Frankie Edgar in an outside promotion and now-top-contender Gray Maynard at UFC 96, Miller is unbeaten in his pro career.
Tibau (21-7 MMA, 7-5 UFC) had won four of his previous five fights prior to tonight's defeat.
In the night's first televised bout, Cole Miller made a statement in more ways than one when a perfectly timed left hook sent fellow lightweight Ross Pearson to the mat and on his way to a submission defeat.
Pearson's heavy hands allowed him to win the first round while the lanky Miller looked for submissions and an opening to pull guard. With no such room available, Miller tried another takedown in the second round but ultimately opted to stand and trade. The decision proved a good one; a minute and a half into the round, he caught Pearson with a big left hook that sent the "TUF 9" winner crashing to the mat. Miller followed and locked in the fight-ending rear-naked choke at the 1:49 mark of the round.
Afterward, Miller had a message for his fellow fighters.
"I'm just happy I came out here and did what I said I was going to do," Miller said. "I see all these wrestlers, point-fighting strikers and lay-and-pray jiu-jitsu guys all doing the same thing. Nobody is trying to finish, pass guard, mount – nothing (but) just control the clock. This isn't football. People need to come in here and fight."
Flying a bit under the radar since his run on "TUF 5," Miller (17-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) nevertheless has moved into title contention with his fourth win in five fights. Pearson (11-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC), meanwhile, tastes defeat for the first time in the octagon.
Edwards makes triumphant return, Kingsbury-Hamman dazzle on prelims
In the night's featured preliminary-card attraction, veteran lightweight Yves Edwards made a triumphant return to the UFC after a four-year absence and scored a dominant unanimous-decision victory over John Gunderson.
Edwards, a Texas-based fighter who took the bout on a month's notice, never really was close to stopping the fight. But he kept Gunderson on his back and fighting the type of fight Edwards wanted. With Gunderson unable to score a sustained attack, all three judges ultimately gave Edwards the unanimous-decision victory via scores of 30-27.
Edwards (39-16-1 MMA, 7-4 UFC), once the unofficial lightweight champion of the UFC, now has won four of his past five fights since a rough three-year stretch.Gunderson (23-8 MMA, 1-2 UFC), meanwhile, has lost two of three since his UFC promotion.
Despite a near-yearlong layoff, Kyle Kingsbury showed few signs of ring rust and outlasted fellow light heavyweight Jared Hamman in a matchup likely to earn both competitors "Fight of the Night" consideration.
After two even and action-packed rounds, Kingsbury and Hamman maintained a frantic pace in the third. The 205-pounders fought standing, on the mat, and in the clinch, but Kingsbury maintained a small lead through the finale frame and closed out the round with a final flurry that likely won him the fight. Ultimately, all three judges awarded him the unanimous-decision victory via 29-28 scores.
Kingsbury, a "TUF 8" cast member, improves to 9-3 overall and 2-1 in the UFC. Hamman (11-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC), a former Strikeforce fighter, has dropped two of three since his move to the UFC.
Although it was anything but a crowd pleaser, Dave Branch rebounded from the sting of a highly publicized slam-KO loss to Gerald Harris in July with a shutout (30-27) unanimous-decision victory over veteran middleweight Tomasz Drwal.
Branch, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Renzo Gracie, used takedowns to set up the victory, but long periods of inaction, multiple referee standups, and both fighters' propensity to disengage and reset after a clinch drew the ire of the Austin fans.
It wasn't the flashiest victory, but it got Branch (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) back in the win column and likely saved his UFC career. After a three-fight UFC win streak, Drwal (17-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) now has suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in his career.
In a middleweight bout, "The Ultimate Fighter 11" cast member Rich Attonito stuffed a takedown and scored a key late-fight knockdown to earn a unanimous-decision victory over Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and UFC newcomer Rafael Natal.
Apparently even through two rounds, Attonito took control in the third after snuffing out a telegraphed takedown. He then set up on top and scored points with a steady stream of punches from the top. Natal ultimately got a standup with 30 seconds remaining in the fight, but Attonito's counter-punch sent him to the mat and secured the decision victory via scores of 29-28, 29-28 and 30-27.
Attonito (9-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) now has won four straight. Natal (12-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who recently knocked out UFC vet Travis Lutter at a Moosin MMA event, suffers just his second loss in seven fights.
In a matchup of welterweight newcomers, Anthony "T.J." Waldburger and David Mitchell tangled for three entertaining rounds of strategic grappling. With help from a dominant third round, Waldburger ultimately scored the unanimous decision via scores of 30-27 on all three judges' cards.
Waldburger (13-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC), the current Shark Fights welterweight champ, now has won four straight. Mitchell (11-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), meanwhile, suffers his first career loss following an 11-fight win streak that included nine submission victories.
In the night's opening bout, welterweight Brian Foster made quick work of Forrest Petz and likely salvaged his UFC career with a 67-second TKO victory.
Foster set the pace early with a variety of strikes, and he ultimately clipped and forced Petz to the mat with a straight right early in the fight. The H.I.T. Squad fighter followed with dozens of unanswered blows to his downed opponent to force the referee's intervention.
Foster (14-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC), who suffered a submission loss to Chris Lytle at UFC 110, avoided the first back-to-back defeats of his career. Petz (18-9 MMA, 2-5 UFC), meanwhile, likely faces another UFC release after a 0-2 run in his latest promotional stint.

Your headache symptoms can help your doctor determine its cause and the appropriate treatment. Most headaches aren't the result of a serious illness, but some may result from a life-threatening condition requiring emergency care.
Headaches are generally classified by cause:
A primary headache is caused by overactivity of or problems with pain-sensitive structures in your head. A primary headache isn't a symptom of an underlying disease.
Chemical activity in your brain, the nerves or blood vessels surrounding your skull, or the muscles of your head and neck (or some combination of these factors) can play a role in primary headaches. Some people may also carry genes that make them more likely to develop such headaches.
The most common primary headaches are:
A few headache patterns also are generally considered types of primary headache, but are less common. These headaches have distinct features, such as an unusual duration or pain associated with a certain activity.
Although generally considered primary, each could be a symptom of an underlying disease. They include:
Some primary headaches can be triggered by lifestyle factors, including:
A secondary headache is a symptom of a disease that can activate the pain-sensitive nerves of the head. Any number of conditions — varying greatly in severity — may cause secondary headaches.
Possible causes of secondary headaches include:

White Gazpacho Recipe
Off the Bookshelf: Arthur Potts Dawson's White Gazpacho
I'm an unabashed lover of all meaty treats. Succulent duck confit, planks of unctuous bone marrow, quivering pork belly: I greedily devour them all. That said, I think of these deeply savory foods as the punctuation to my everyday diet rather than the staples. An average day finds me spooning up oatmeal, munching on nuts, and supping on salads of zesty tomatoes and burrata cheese.
Some might describe my predilection to limit my meat consumption as flexitarianism; I prefer to think of it as practical, because, as tempting as it is, a diet based on meat is far from environmentally sound (or nutritionally balanced for that matter). It came as no surprise that I was drawn to Arthur Potts Dawson's new cookbook, Eat Your Vegetables, a beautifully photographed tome bolstering the movement to eat less meat.
While many of the recipes contained within its pages are vegetarian-friendly, others are liberally garnished with beef, bacon, or salty anchovies. Dawson may be an outspoken ambassador for the oft-forgotten fruits of the garden, but is quick to mention that he too enjoys the occasional steak. Rather than focus on the asceticism of a vegetable-based diet, his cookbook celebrates the vast variety of foods spouting forth from the garden, and many dishes would appeal to all but the most staunch carnivore.
While flipping through its pages, I was immediately drawn to Dawson's recipe for white garlic soup with almonds, a pungent white gazpacho of sorts. Silky and immensely satiating, this satisfying starter packs a ton of flavor into an elegant package, and would be perfectly paired with Summer salads or delicate poached fish. Thanks to its simplicity of preparation, and make-ahead nature, I'll be turning to this flavor-packed chilled soup to perk up dinner parties all Summer.
As for Eat Your Vegetables, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly; it's a great buy for dedicated vegetarians and carnivores alike from an expert in culinary sustainability. Full of creative cookery and studded with gorgeous photography, it's equally well suited to those who relish a culinary challenge, and those that first and foremost eat with their eyes.
White Garlic Soup With Almonds
From Eat Your Vegetables by Arthur Potts Dawson
- 1 cup whole blanched almonds
Whole milk, for soaking
4 slices of white bread, crusts removed, roughly cubed
4 garlic cloves
1-1/4 cups cold water
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to drizzle
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and pepper
Sliced almonds, toasted, to garnish
- Place the blanched almonds in a bowl and cover with milk. Allow to soak refrigerated for at least an hour, up to overnight. Drain the almonds and set aside, reserving the milk. Soak the cubed bread in the reserved milk (adding additional to cover) for 10 minutes.
- Drain the bread, but don't squeeze out the milk. Place the almonds, garlic, and bread in a blender and blend to a smooth paste. With the motor running, drizzle in the water, olive oil, and sherry vinegar and blend until well-incorporated and silky smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chill the soup for at least 1 hour.
- Ladle into bowls and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Serves 4-6.

The result is a musical symphony of sound everytime it rains, making the house one of the largest instruments and an awesome display of what a bit of creativity can create!

According to the Wall Street Journal's diligent tabulators (the WSJ is run by robots), Snow White achieved its box office success on the strength of a primarily female audience — women accounted for 53% of Snow White viewers. Meanwhile, Battleship still sucks and nobody cares. Sorry, Rihanna.

Thursday evening the official reserves (bench players) for the 2008 NBA All-Star team were announced. Fans picked the starters, but NBA coaches picked these reserves. Here are the 14 players (seven East, seven West) selected to come off the bench in the 2008 All-Star game.
East: Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Joe Johnson, Caron Butler, Paul Pierce, Antawn Jamison, Chris Bosh
West: Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy, David West, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire
InsideHoops.com analysis coming over the next hour or two. Watch our front page. And of course we'll add reactions from newspapers around the country to our NBA rumors page late tonight and Friday morning.
The host New Orleans Hornets are one of four teams which can claim two All-Star reserves as the NBA today announced the list of 14 players that have been selected by the coaches as reserves for the 2008 NBA All-Star Game. The Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards also have two All-Star reserves in the 57th NBA All-Star Game which will be played on Sunday, Feb. 17 at New Orleans Arena.
First-time All-Star selections Chris Paul and David West of New Orleans are joined by fellow first-time selection Brandon Roy of the Portland Trail Blazers as Western Conference reserves, along with Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz, Steve Nash and Amaré Stoudemire of the Phoenix Suns, and the Dallas Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki.
The East reserves feature the Detroit Pistons' Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton, Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison of the Washington Wizards, Joe Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce.
The 14 players selected — seven each from the Eastern and Western Conferences — were chosen by the 30 NBA head coaches, who were asked to vote for seven players in their respective conferences — two guards, two forwards, one center and two players regardless of position. They were not permitted to vote for players from their own team.
Previously selected as starters for the East through the 2008 NBA All-Star Balloting Program were Boston's Kevin Garnett, Cleveland's LeBron James, Orlando's Dwight Howard, New Jersey's Jason Kidd and Miami's Dwyane Wade. Denver's Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, Houston's Yao Ming, the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant and San Antonio's Tim Duncan will start for the West.
The selections of Nash (Canada) and Nowitzki (Germany) along with voted-starters Duncan (U.S. Virgin Islands) and Yao (China), gives the 2008 NBA All-Star Game four international players.
Should any player be unable to participate in the All-Star Game due to injury, NBA Commissioner David Stern will select the replacement.
Boston head coach Doc Rivers and his coaching staff will be on the sidelines for the Eastern Conference All-Stars, as the Celtics previously clinched the best winning percentage through games of Feb. 3 among eligible Eastern Conference teams for All-Star coaching honors. The Western Conference coaching scenario has yet to be determined, with the staffs of the Dallas Mavericks (31-13, .705) and New Orleans Hornets (32-13, .711) still in contention. The coaching staff of either Dallas or New Orleans, depending on which owns the best winning percentage through games of Feb. 3, will lead the Western Conference All-Stars.
Talk about this with other fans on the InsideHoops basketball message board.

The Plimoth Jacket: A Paradise in Silk and Gold
September 3, 2011—January 8, 2012
On loan to Winterthur from Plimoth Plantation in 2011, the Plimoth Jacket is not an exact reproduction. Rather, it was re-created from two examples in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. One was chosen for the cut and construction of the jacket and the other for the design of the embroidery. Both originals date to the 1620s.
In the 1600s this type of embroidery would have been done in professional workshops. The creation of the Plimoth Jacket has led to discoveries about the technology for making threads and spangles as well as about stitching techniques. The project has also resulted in important insights into 17th-century workshop practices, where large numbers of embroiderers (both highly skilled laborers and apprentices learning their trade) would work together to create expensive and decorative clothing like this.
The Plimoth Jacket Project
More than 300 people spent over 3,700 hours to create the Plimoth Jacket. Some worked on the silk embroidery and gold plaited braid, while others stitched on the "oes," the term in use in the 1600s for the round sequins. The project was conceived and managed by Jill Hall, former head of the colonial wardrobe department at Plimoth Plantation. She was aided by a team of experts in embroidery, lace, metal-smithing, and weaving, including Dr. Tricia Wilson Nguyen, Wendy White, Carolyn Hastings, Mark Atchison, Justin Squizzero, and Denise Lebica.
The sewing, embroidery, and lace were all entirely done by hand. The lace spangles (the tear-drop shaped sequins hanging from the lace) were created using tools made specifically for the project. The tools and techniques replicate those from the 1600s. Even the lining was hand-woven and dyed with natural indigo.

The jacket was on display in the With Cunning Needle exhibition, September 3, 2011–January 8, 2012, and was featured in the fall Needlework Conference, October 21–22, 2011.

- Arsenal 2-0 Hull City, Premier League
Bendtner wastes no time making impact for Arsenal
Nicklas Bendtner scored his first Arsenal goal since March 2011 as the Gunners stayed in control at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Hull.
The Denmark striker was recalled to the starting XI to give leading forward Olivier Giroud a rest, and headed the hosts in front inside two minutes. Mesut Ozil extended Arsenal's lead at the start of the second half, finishing off a fine passing exchange with Aaron Ramsey.
Bendtner - who last started a league game for Arsenal three seasons ago and almost left the club in the summer - took just 90 seconds to get on the scoresheet for the first time since an FA Cup tie against Leyton Orient in March 2011.
The Gunners' victory saw them maintain a four-point lead over second-placed Chelsea, who won 4-3 at relegation battlers Sunderland.
Aaron Ramsey sent full-back Carl Jenkinson - in the side for the injured Bacary Sagna - away down the right.
The England Under-21 international whipped over a perfect cross through the six-yard box, which Bendtner dispatched past Allan McGregor with a bullet header.
Arsenal - looking to keep ahead of their title rivals - had chances to extend the lead before half-time with a low, 20-yard shot from Ramsey tipped away by the Hull keeper.
The Gunners eventually doubled their lead at the start of the second half, when Ozil converted from close range after lovely interchange of passes with Ramsey at the edge of the penalty area.
Hull - who had beaten Liverpool at home on Sunday - never looked like mounting a fightback as Arsene Wenger's men continued to lay down a marker for a long overdue sustained assault on the Premier League crown.
After their blistering start, Arsenal - who had made several changes from the team which won at Cardiff, including starting with England trio Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs on the bench - continued to push Hull back.
Santi Cazorla's goal-bound shot was blocked and McGregor then spilled a low effort from Ozil which Bendtner could not turn in.
Hull slowly found some momentum and a centre from Robbie Brady flew across the face of the Arsenal goal.
When the Gunners did press the visitors back, they were guilty of some poor finishing, with the usually accurate Ramsey smashing an 18-yard effort high into the Clock End.
The Welshman's radar was, though, locked on target in the 31st minute, this time a low 20-yard effort that was set for the bottom-right corner being pushed away by the Hull keeper at full stretch.
Hull defender Maynor Figueroa upended Cazorla in front of the technical area, but referee Andre Marriner deemed the hefty sliding challenge fair.
Bendtner turned provider just before the break when he was played in on the overlap down the right and clipped the ball back through the six-yard box where Ozil just could not guide his header goalwards.
The German playmaker was on the scoresheet soon after the restart. Nacho Monreal kept the ball in on the left touchline, and gave it to Ozil. His sliderule pass found Ramsey on the edge of the box, before the Wales international turned away from goal and then played an exquisite reverse ball back into the path of Ozil, who coolly tucked it into the net from 10 yards and Arsenal led 2-0 in the 47th minute.
Brady was then perfectly placed on the post to flick away a backward header from Bendtner which may have been dropping into the far corner.
Hull made a double change on 58 minutes. Forward Danny Graham was replaced by George Boyd and Brady came off for Liam Rosenior.
Hull striker Yannick Sagbo collided with Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny as they challenged for a ball through the six-yard box, but after the Pole had some brief treatment on his head, play resumed.
Arsenal, who have now started to show really depth with the return of their injured players, sent Walcott and Wilshere on for the last 17 minutes, replacing Bendtner and Tomas Rosicky.
As the clock ran down, Hull boss Steve Bruce was involved in a few exchanges with the jubilant Arsenal fans behind the visitors' bench - most of which were taken in good spirits by the former Manchester United defender.

During the course of construction, contractors will sometimes find that the owner and/or architect are demanding more work than the contractor reasonably interprets the plans and specifications to require. The typical owner and/or architect solution to the dispute is simply to tell the contractor its interpretation is incorrect and direct the contractor to proceed with what the contractor considers additional work. Later, the owner may attempt to rely upon the lack of a written change order authorizing the performance to deny compensation and/or time for performance of additional work.
Does the contractor walk off the job or proceed with the additional work notwithstanding this dispute? Most contracts require contractors to proceed with the work notwithstanding the existence of a dispute; otherwise, the contractor might be subject to a default termination. However, such provisions also typically require the owner to continue payments under the contract for undisputed work. The idea is to keep the project moving forward—i.e., to prevent the contractor from bringing the project to a halt pending resolution of disputed items and to prevent the owner from holding the contractor's funds hostage pending the resolution of the dispute.The contractor must therefore generally proceed with the performance of additional work without immediate compensation for that work.
However, it does not mean that the contractor is performing the work gratuitously. The refusal of the owner to issue a change order for the additional work may not insulate it from liability. "[U]nder Mississippi law, where the owner orders the contractor to perform extra work outside the contract, the contractor is entitled to compensation for that work, despite the fact that no change order was issued." See Sentinel Industrial Contracting Corp. v. Kimmins Industrial Service Corp. In Sentinel, the Mississippi Supreme Court recognized the inherent inequity in allowing the contractor to demand a subcontractor perform extra-contractual work without a change order and then deny compensation because a change order had not been issued.
This same rationale should apply to the situation where an owner directs the contractor to perform work without a change order. When this occurs, the contractors must place the owner and/or architect on written notice of its objection to the additional work and reserve its right to recover the costs and/or time associated with the change order work. Simply stated, the duty to proceed does not entitle the owner to avoid paying for legitimate change order work even in the absence of a written change order.

I'll admit, I love new gadgets. I love new technologies, too. And when I was contacted to test out this new windshield ice remover, I was excited... but skeptical. The set of three scrapers arrived, and it was still above freezing for several more weeks. Each day I looked out in the morning, each day - no ice.
Finally, on Christmas Day, we received a blizzard that began with some freezing rain - enough to coat the cars with ice! As you can see in the video above, we were both blown away at how effective the Scrape-A-Round is at removing ice from the windows with very, very little effort. I wish it had iced over before Christmas, because I am pretty sure I would have bought one of these for all of my kids' teachers, aides, and the principals, too! In fact, there's still plenty of winter left, so that may just happen anyway...
The conical shape of this scraper is what makes it so efficient. I hardly had to press down at all to make the ice peel right off the windows. Best of all, it stores away nicely in the car, unlike the unwieldy pole scrapers that always seem to be poking SOMEONE in the leg! After scraping the entire car, my arm was not tired, nor did my hands cramp from pushing like the dickens to get through the 1/8"-1/4" of ice. I'm sold. And you should be, too!
You can order the Scrape-A-Round from their website (www.scrapearound.com). Our set is called the Complete System, and includes 3 sizes and features.

In this April, 20, 2007 file photo, Pakistani militant commander Maulvi Nazir meets his associates in South Waziristan, Pakistan near the Afghani border. Five Pakistani security officials said the commander, Nazir, was reportedly among nine people killed in a missile strike on a house in the village of Angoor Adda in the South Waziristan tribal region early Thursday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.

Developmental psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Gordon Neufeld has thoughts about early childhood education that may come as an unwelcome surprise to parents of preschoolers and education policy-makers.
Neufeld is against four-year-old kindergarten. He's also against five year-old kindergarten. And possibly even six-year-old kindergarten. Unless, of course, kindergarten is all about play and not at all about results.
Neufeld is co-author of the 2004 book Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Matter, which argued that parents who relinquish the parental role too soon prompt children to turn to peers for their attachment needs, sometimes with disastrous results.
"It takes six years of ideal conditions where a child gives his heart to his parents," says the Vancouver-based Neufeld.
Neufeld knows he's slogging into a political mire. Ontario is implementing all-day four-year kindergarten. Last October Charles Pascal, Premier Dalton McGuinty's special adviser on early learning, acknowledged that implementation might have challenges, but things would work out "if people keep a focus on what's best for kids and families."
On the other hand, critics have pointed out that in Finland, one of the countries whose students are among the highest-ranking performers in international comparisons, students don't start formal education until they're seven.
In Canada, Neufeld finds it worrisome that even though children are going to school younger and being educated more intensively, children are less curious in Grade 12 than they were in kindergarten.
"Society is increasing expectations. Parents need to be the buffer," says Neufeld, who has addressed the parliaments of European nations on early education and is scheduled to go to Brussels next fall to talk to the European Parliament.
What's the answer? Play, says Neufeld. And extended families.
Preschoolers have fundamentally different brain wiring and need to be free of consequences and "attachment hunger," says Neufeld. Germany, where the word "kindergarten" was coined more than 150 years ago, mandated play-based preschool education about a decade ago.
Play helps children build problemsolving networks. At four, five, even six, children are not ready to learn by working because the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain where a child is capable of mixed feelings, is still under construction. "It only gets wired at between five and seven years of age," says Neufeld.
Developmentally, preschoolers have to be secure in the love and attention of their families, says Neufeld. Too often, children are pushed into performing. "You can get incredible things out of them if you detach them from marks and rewards."
What is play? Neufeld defines it as "not work." Play is expressive and it's not "for real." There are no consequences to messing up, and the child is playing for the joy of the activity, not because of an outcome. It's like playing marbles, Neufeld says. You can play for fun and take your marbles home when you're done, or you can play for keeps, where the winner takes all. Only playing for fun is really playing.
Toilet training can be work, and it can be play. If a child is told that they will sit on the toilet until they produce results, then it's work. If there's food dye in the toilet and the child is eager to find out what colour the water turns after a tinkle, then it's play. Learning to play the piano can be work for a preschool child, or it could be play. If it's coming out of a child's passion, then it's play.
"Even monkeys and elephants can be trained to perform. But there are movements to stop that," says Neufeld, who points out that even the Internet search powerhouse Google asks its employees to spend 10 per cent of their activity doing work that is consequence-free — in other words, playing with ideas with no fear of the big smackdown if they don't produce a marketable concept.
Neufeld has five children, all with different passions: One is doing advanced research in neuroscience, another in engineering. One is a vocalist and musician, another is a therapist and another teaches theatre. "I never asked them to do their homework once," he says.
The difference between children who become curious, engaged learners and those who become performers is that the curious and engaged children had parents who acted as buffers between them and society and the educational system. North American mobility and materialism have torn apart the fabric and traditions that tie families together, says Neufeld.
He has lived in France, where nursery schools or "maternelles" accommodate children as young as three. In North America, the French maternelle system is often cited as a good example of the success of early learning. But Neufeld says there are two major differences between the maternelles and North American kindergartens: in France, maternelles are based on attachment and play. The French children are still part of the "village of attachment," as Neufeld puts it.
There are benefits to early childhood education for some kids — those who are living in poverty or neglect, for example — but it's not necessary to impose performancebased education on well-functioning families, says Neufeld. The long-term effects haven't been studied. There is a well-documented headstart effect for children who enter school earlier, but that has not been studied much past Grade 4, he says.
This doesn't mean that Neufeld advocates that mothers stay at home with their children. In fact, he notes that as families become smaller and more geographically dispersed, there is far too much pressure on the nuclear family. "In North America, we have a dangerously small nuclear family," says Neufeld.
Nor was there a golden age when mothers — and only mothers — were responsible for creating a culture of attachment, he says. "Society wasn't mother-centric. It was grandmother-centric."
That doesn't mean there's no recourse for small nuclear families, single-parent families or dysfunctional families.
"If we don't have a functional family, we need to develop surrogate families," says Neufeld, who recalls a senior couple who acted as surrogate grandparents to children living on his block in urban Vancouver. Getting attached to the surrogate grandparents prevented children from getting too attached to peers.
Neufeld is now 65. His own parents created an extended circle of surrogate aunts and uncles for their children. He believes government agencies should help develop these villages of attachment instead of insisting that the state does a better job of raising children.
Neufeld says when he lectures on this topic, educators and childcare workers feel a sense of relief.
"The only resistance I get is from policy-makers."

KROHNE Provides Tripper Car & Bin Level Solution for One of the World's Largest Gold Producers
- KROHNE supplies OPTIWAVE 6300 level meters to one of the world's largest gold producers
- Level measurement up to the conveyer critical for avoiding ore build up to the tripper level and preventing damage to the tripper car and avoiding a potentially hazardous situation
- OPTIWAVE 6300 is a non-contact FMCW radar level meter specifically designed for dusty process conditions found in mining and minerals processing facilities
KROHNE Australia supplies 5 OPTIWAVE 6300 non-contact FMCW radar level meters to a gold producing facility to protect tripper cars from damage caused by overfilled bins, avoiding a potentially hazardous situation.
Tripper cars are used to provide a transfer point for raw material. Tripper cars move back and forth to allow mined material to be discharged into different locations - feeding conveyor belts, mills, bins or stock piles.
One of world's largest gold mines uses the OPTIWAVE 6300 to measure multiple bin levels with heights exceeding 10m. The position of the tripper car is controlled by the measured bin levels from these radars and the demand on the bins. However due to mounting and mechanical restrictions the bin level meters are positioned to the side of the bins and cannot measure product level right up to the conveyor, causing potential for the ore to build up to the tripper, damaging the tripper car and causing a potentially hazardous situation. By mounting the OPTIWAVE 6300 on the tripper cars, the radar is able to quickly lock onto the level of one bin to the next, measuring the material level in each of the bins, with the peak rising as it approaches the centre of the bin; and falling as it moves away from the centre. This additional, tripper car mounted radar provides redundancy for the bin mounted radars and protects the tripper cars from damage caused by an overfilled bin.
Dust and dirt inherent in mining operations makes reliable bin level measurement from a moving tripper car even more challenging. KROHNE's OPTIWAVE 6300 FMCW radar level meter provides a more stable and responsive measurement than pulse radar and is well suited to dusty process conditions.
The OPTIWAVE 6300 has a unique PP or PTFE Drop shaped antenna: its shape prevents product build-up in dusty applications. Further the frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) measuring principle provides continuous measurement at high bandwidth, resulting in enhanced reliability and accuracy in the presence of strong multiple reflections, like a dusty environment. An installation wizard specifically for solids, powders, and granulates permits the instrument to measure uneven surfaces accurately with ranges up to 80m.

This one began as an abstract floral, and wound up morphing into one of my grid compositions. It's a mix of M. Graham watercolors and Golden fluid acrylics, plus gesso. It is approximately 5 x 8″ on 300 lb. Arches cold-press watercolor paper:
Because it's World Watercolor Month, I began with a background wash of M. Graham watercolor paint (azo yellow, quinacridone gold, bit of yellow ochre). After it dried, I went back in with Golden fluid acrylics (they're the consistency of heavy cream, and oh, so vibrant; my favorite of all of the Golden paint formulations) and Caran d'Ache neocolor crayons. And then several layers later, we have this! I never know where these abstracts are going to go, and I've learned that making a plan ahead of time isn't the way for me to work. I may sleep on this one and see if I need to lighten some areas, but I like where it's headed so far.
Happy Saturday evening to all. May your skies be sunny, your breezes be warm and comforting, and your palette be full and welcoming. Peace.

Time marches on, drives get bigger, and Buffalo rolls out another TeraStation network attached storage (NAS) system, and now it's called the TeraStation Pro and inches up to 3TB. Last time we looked, Buffalo's biggest dick was 2TB long, and ran a cool $1999. Fast forward 10 months, and this 3TB model is $2183. Not too shabby—an extra terabyte for $184.
The capacity diff here lies in those swappable drives, and instead of the four 500GB hard disks of its 2TB predecessor, now there are four 750GB hard disks ($695 each for spares) nestled inside. Techno-strap them altogether with RAID 1-5 for your choice of speed or data security, and they also support DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), that nascent industry attempt to make sense of drives and multimedia networking in the home.
Take a look at one more beauty shot of the drive, plus one of the removable 750GB drives:
Damn, 3TB is a lot of movies even when you're talking HD, and then swapping out those drives makes this config even more versatile. We'll take two.
