DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL-STARS Tackles Jive and Quickstep on Monday
Monday's performance show showcases the remaining 12 All-Star couples dancing either the Jive or the Quickstep, live, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
In a one-hour special, "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars -- Defining Dances," airing TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), the judges will select and introduce past routines from the All-Stars' previous seasons, ultimately defining the winning attributes that each All-Star demonstrated in these performances. The All-Stars will recount and comment on their mindsets during these selected routines. Following the special, the "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars: The Results Show" on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) will feature Katherine Jenkins, last season's finalist and classical singer, who returns to the ballroom as a special musical guest. She will be taking the stage with Plácido Domingo, performing "Come What May," featured on Domingo's new album, "Songs," out October 16th. Their stunning duet will be accompanied by pro dancers Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Anna Trebunskaya. Also taking to the "Dancing with the Stars" stage is 19 year-old pop powerhouse Cher Lloyd, performing her hit single, "Want You Back." Her latest album, "Sticks + Stones," releases October 2nd.
Tuesday night's exciting lineup continues with the season's first "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance, a futuristic standoff featuring some of the world's most talented dancers battling for dance floor supremacy. The performance is choreographed by Shannon Mather, spotlighting Blake McGrath, Ian Eastwood and Tyne Stecklein leading their groups in an epic performance. We will also tease week 3's "Iconic Dance Night" with a medley of iconic routines from seasons past, performed by The Troupe as well as talented dancers Anya Garnis, Jaymz Tuaileva, Lacey and Benji Schwimmer. And before night's end, the second couple of the season will be eliminated.
Katherine Jenkins is the world's most prolific classical crossover artist. The Welsh mezzo soprano has sold in excess of 7 million albums since launching her career in 2004. An internationally recognized figure, at the age of 32 Jenkins has become an ambassador and inspiration for millions of people around the world. When she was still only 23, she signed what was said to be the biggest ever UK classical recording deal; she has broken records, becoming the fastest selling mezzo soprano ever, has released eight studio albums, has won two Classical BRIT Awards and broken countless records, with her albums going platinum around the world. Cherished as one of Britain's favorite singers, Jenkins has now become one of its greatest musical exports. She most recently performed at the Queen's Jubilee and was an ambassador for the London Olympic athletes this past summer. She is currently working on completing her first ever Christmas album," This is Christmas," in stores October 30.
Plácido Domingo, world renowned multi-Grammy® Award winning singer, conductor and administrator, has sung 140 different roles, more than any other tenor in the annals of music, with more than 3600 career performances. His more than 100 recordings of complete operas, compilations of arias & duets and crossover discs have earned him 12 Grammy® Awards, including three Latin Grammys, and he has made more than 50 music videos and won two Emmy Awards. In addition to three feature opera films – "Carmen," "La Traviata" and "Otello" -- he voiced the role of Monte in "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," played himself on "The Simpsons," and his telecast of "Tosca" from the authentic settings in Rome was seen by more than one billion people in 117 countries. Domingo has conducted more than 450 opera performances and symphonic concerts. In the 2012-13 season, he will add two new baritone roles to his repertoire, Francesco Foscari in "I Due Foscari" in Los Angeles, and Germont in "La Traviata" during his 45th season at the Metropolitan Opera. He is also preparing to release his first non classical album in 20 years, called "Songs," out October 16th, featuring duets with Katherine Jenkins, Harry Connick Jr., Josh Groban, Megan Hilty, Chris Botti and others.
19-year-old pop powerhouse Cher Lloyd drops her U.S. debut, "Sticks + Stones," October 2nd. With a new single, "Oath" ft. Dr. Luke's Sony/RCA newest signing, Becky G, and a new video shot in LA by Hannah Lux Davis set to premiere next week, Lloyd is poised to become America's newest (and sassiest) pop star. Her U.S. debut single, "Want U Back," was a certified smash, generating more than 22 million YouTube views and exceeding 1.4 million in sales. It introduced Lloyd to legions of fans who turned up in droves during her promotional tour this summer, causing chaos in a dozen cities and proving that she's far more than a reality television star. While she gained prominence in her native England as a contestant on "The X Factor UK," it was her one-of-a-kind talent and take-no-prisoners attitude that kept her in the public eye. After the show, she signed with Simon Cowell's label, Syco, and went on to achieve major success in the UK, where her first single went straight to No. 1. The British version of "Sticks + Stones," which varies from the U.S. release, entered the UK charts at No. 4.
Hosted by Emmy Award winner Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos") and Brooke Burke-Charvet ("Dancing with the Stars" Season Seven Champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Spanish opera singer Placido Domingo and British sculptor Antony Gormley won three of Japan's top arts prizes, the Japan Art Association said on Tuesday.
Domingo, Gormley and Coppola were joined by British architect David Chipperfield and Italian painter Michelangelo Pistoletto as 2013 laureates of the Praemium Imperiale, a 15 million yen ($150,000) prize which will be handed out on Oct 16. by Japanese Emperor Akihito's younger brother Prince Hitachi.
"The 2013 Praemium Imperiale laureates enrich our lives and touch a common chord of humanity despite geographic and linguistic barriers," Japan Art Association chairman Hisashi Hieda said in a statement.
The prizes, for film, music, sculpture, painting and architecture, were created in 1988 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Japan Art Association and to honor Japan's late Prince Takamatsu.
The 2013 laureates join a roster of past winners who include U.S. playwright Arthur Miller, British artist David Hockney, Canadian architect Frank Gehry and a host of other household names in the arts over the 25 years they have been awarded.
Announced in Tokyo, London, Rome and other cities, the laureates were selected from lists submitted by a panel of international advisers who include former prime ministers, diplomats, politicians and global cultural figures.
In London, BBC Trust Chairman, Oxford University Chancellor and Praemium Imperiale international adviser Chris Patten was on hand at Gormley's Chipperfield-designed studio in north London to announce the prize.
"It's a great way of celebrating the lifetime achievements of two very, very considerable artists," he said.
Gormley and Patten both said the awards, which honor Japan's late 19th century period of cultural renaissance under Emperor Meiji, also demonstrated the cultural and artistic links between Japan and Britain.
Gormley, in camel-colored trousers flecked with paint, said he has had a long association with Japan stretching back to 1984, and praised Japan's influence on art around the world and its appreciation of global creativity.
"We all know about the early influence of Japanese art on impressionism and post-impressionism, but I think that the traffic the other way has been equally extraordinary," he said.
Gormley - whose giant, rusting, steel "Angel of the North" statue looming over the main traffic artery into northern England has made his art as recognizable as Henry Moore's - said he had a number of projects on the boil in Asia and remained passionate about making public sculpture.
"Sculpture by nature occupies collective space, it's quintessentially the art of participation and collective identification."

A fantastic Under-18s tournament ended last week and the final was…well, less than fantastic from a competitive standpoint. Canada eviscerated Russia 8-0 in a game that was over before the first period ended. Doubly good for the Canadians was the fact several draft-eligible players used the game and tourney as a great personal showcase.
1. Jake Allen, G – St. John's Fog Devils (QMJHL): What did I tell you? What did I tell you fine folks? Allen is shaping up to be the classic out-of-nowhere goaltender who sets pulses racing on draft day. The Fog Devils backup finished the Under-18 tourney with a .948 save percentage, 1.43 goals-against average and two shutouts in seven games. Draft eligible in 2008.
2. Jordan Eberle, C – Regina Pats (WHL): Eberle is being touted as a solid all-round hockey player, but in the final against Russia, he also showed off some sick offensive moves in a two-goal, three-point performance. Draft eligible in 2008.
3. Jeremy Morin, C – U.S. NTDP (NAHL): Leading Team USA in scoring at the U-18s is pretty impressive for an underager, but Morin, who posted eight points in seven tournament games, has been awesome all year long. Draft eligible in 2009.
4. Beau Schmitz, D – Plymouth Whalers (OHL): This is the first time Schmitz can be referred to as a Whaler, as the highly touted blueliner just signed with the team. Originally an early commit to Ferris State, Schmitz withdrew from the Bulldogs program in March. He had been with the U.S. NTDP. Draft eligible in 2009.
5. Erik Karlsson, D – Frolunda Indians (Swe.): At 5-foot-8, 156 pounds, Karlsson isn't the biggest cat, but he led the Under-18s in scoring by a defenseman with seven points (all assists) in six games. He even played seven games in the Swedish Elite League this year, where he was plus-2 with a goal. Draft eligible in 2008.
6. Josh Tordjman, G – San Antonio Rampage (AHL): Tordjman was the junior goalie for Moncton whom Patrick Roy tried to rattle in the Memorial Cup in 2006, but obviously it had no long-term effect. Tordjman pitched a Game 6 shutout of the Toronto Marlies to force a final showdown in Game 7, but couldn't get his team over the hump as they fell 2-1 on a late third period goal. Signed by Phoenix as a free agent in 2006.
7. Drayson Bowman, LW – Spokane Chiefs (WHL): Bowman was foiled by Tri-City goalie Chet Pickard on an overtime penalty shot in Game 5 of the Dub's West final, but it was the Chief who had the last laugh, as his team took the game in the second extra frame. Bowman had two goals on the night. Drafted 72nd overall by Carolina in 2007.
8. Robbie Czarnik, RW – U.S. NTDP (NAHL): The University of Michigan recruit was a plus-7 at the Under-18s, but more importantly had a hat trick and an assist in Team USA's bronze medal win over Sweden. Draft eligible in 2008.
9. Andrew Conboy, LW – Omaha Lancers (USHL): Conboy's numbers actually went down in the regular season this year compared to last, but it's in the playoffs where he stepped up. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder has a point a game through seven as the Lancers joust with Lincoln for a berth in the final. Drafted 142nd overall by Montreal in 2007.
10. Mitch Fadden, C – Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL): The Hurricanes continued their romp through the Dub's Eastern bracket with a sweep over the Calgary Hitmen and Fadden is now the team leader in playoff points with 20 in 15 games. Drafted 107th overall by Tampa Bay in 2007.
11. Matt Duchene, C – Brampton Battalion (OHL): Another Canadian young'un with a Taylor Hall-like upside, Duchene carried his weight at the Under-18s, notching eight points and a plus-6 rating in seven games. Draft eligible in 2009.
12. John Curry, G – Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL): The Baby Pens are flying high after a first round upset of Hershey and Curry has been a big part of the success. The rookie pro boasts a 1.97 GAA and .931 save percentage in the playoffs. Signed as free agent by Pittsburgh in 2007.
13. Colton Yellow Horn, LW – Tri-City Americans (WHL): At 5-foot-8, Yellow Horn doesn't have the prototypical NHL size, but his speed and scoring ability this year has to attract some interest in the off-season. His 20 points in 15 playoff games leads the Ams. Eligible for free agency.
14. Nikita Filatov, LW – CSKA 2 (Rus.): Between his butt-end ejection against Canada and his team-leading nine points in six games, Filatov certainly didn't shy away from the spotlight at the Under-18s. Draft eligible in 2008.
15. Hugo Carpentier, C – Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (QMJHL): Talk about a model of consistency. Carpentier has registered a point in 12 straight playoff games for the Huskies, who take on Gatineau in the Q final. Drafted 118th overall by Calgary in 2006.
The Hot List, a weekly roundup of minor league, junior, college and high school players we're excited to one day see in the NHL, appears every Tuesday, only on thehockeynews.com.

Dammed If We Don'tby Yvon Chouinard
Patagonia Essays, Mountain 2012
Environmentalist David Brower was once asked, "Why are you conservationists always against things?" He replied, "If you are against something, you are always for something. If you are against a dam, you are for a river."
I'm also a lover of wild rivers. That's why our company has been involved in trying to take out obsolete and damaging dams since 1993. We've had some success helping take down the Edwards Dam on Maine's Kennebec River in 1999, and the Savage Rapids Dam on Oregon's Rogue River in 2009. As I write this, three large dams are slated to come down on Washington's Elwha and White Salmon Rivers. The United States has more than 82,000 dams in its inventory and researchers estimate there may be at least two million dams of various sizes. So far, at least 836 dams have come down, but 26,000 "hazardous" dams (according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) remain. Many of these dams were built by local irrigation districts, private power companies and local, state and federal governments. When they become obsolete safety hazards, like mines, the owners just walk away and leave the cleanup and restoration to the taxpayers.
When I was 18, I used to go down to the Sea of Cortez to spearfish. Within 15 or 20 minutes, I would spot a 30- to 40-pound grouper. It was like a fishbowl. And now, many of the bottom fish are gone, the shrimp are almost gone, and fishermen are left to eke out a living fishing for low-value skate wings in the winter. This is largely due to overfishing and destructive fishing practices like bottom trawling, but it's also because the mighty Colorado River no longer flows to the Gulf of California. Fewer nutrients support the biota of the gulf because the river and its tributaries are impoverished by more than 100 dams. The Mediterranean is on its way to becoming a dead sea, with the Aswan Dam on the Nile being the last indignity. It's projected that there won't be a single undammed river reaching the sea in China by 2025, only thirteen years from now.
The estuaries and coastal lagoons at the mouths of our planet's rivers are often referred to as the 'nurseries' of our world's fisheries, and many ocean fish need brackish or fresh water to spawn and rear. Four crucial dams to take out if we wish to restore wild Pacific salmon are on the lower Snake River - a tributary to the Columbia River and one of our planet's mightiest salmon producers. Every fisheries biologist not in the pocket of the Bonneville Power Administration agrees that the dams must come down. But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and state and local governments in the area lack backbone and refuse to act on good science. The U.S. taxpayer continues to bleed billions of dollars on a failed policy of hatcheries and barging salmon around dams, when President Obama should add basic economics to overwhelming scientific fact and direct federal agencies to remove the lower Snake River dams.
The best chance of restoring wild Atlantic salmon to the United States is taking out two of the three dams (and breaching the third) on the Penobscot River in Maine (scheduled for 2012). The best chance of restoring wild Atlantic salmon in France is to remove the Poutes Dam, built in 1941 on the upper Allier River, the main tributary of the Loire River. (The French government announced the removal of the Poutes Dam as this catalog went to press.)
But if I chose one dam to fall, for me, it is the Matilija Dam, just up the road from Patagonia headquarters, near Ojai, California. In 2000, I watched then U.S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt stand on the top of the dam and swear it was going to come down. It's still there.
It was built in 1948 by a few local irrigators and was almost silted up after only 18 years. The dam is an impassable barrier to endangered sea-run steelhead trout migrating home to the Ventura River and prevents much needed sand from nourishing the coastline of Ventura County and beyond. One reason it hasn't come down is a lack of sound planning and leadership on the part of local politicians, water districts and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The question of how to take down the dam was given to some local grammar school children, and one little girl raised her hand and asked, "Why don't they take a little bitty bite out of the dam every year?" If we had started doing that back in 2000, the Matilija Dam would be gone by now and steelhead would be spawning in Matilija Creek.
According to Bruce Babbitt, we've been building at least one dam a day since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Building dams is old technology that doesn't fit with 21st century innovation, yet dams are still going up. Brazil is building the Belo Monte Dam, the third largest in the world, that will inundate a large part of the Xingu River basin and force tens of thousands of local people from their land. Argentina is going to dam the Santa Cruz River. The five proposed dams in Patagonia, Chile, would require the longest transmission line in the world to go through most of their national parks. If those dams and transmission lines are built, every other Chilean river to the north can be dammed and plugged into those transmission lines.
When are we going to stop? After we dam every single river in the world?
We are now on the cusp of a multitude of good options for clean energy, like solar, wind, tidal power, wave power, geothermal and energy efficiency. Rather than storing water in on-stream reservoirs, water is best stored in underground aquifers, off-stream reservoirs and restored floodplain basins that also provide flood protection and water quality benefits. Water conservation and efficiency measures alone eliminate the need for new storage dams, and existing railroads are a viable alternative to shipping produce on barges. I wonder why we are so impatient to destroy our rivers with this outdated technology and why we have to wait so long to tear down these obsolete behemoths.

Public opinion turns anti-nuclear after Fukushima, but the industry soldiers on
LONDON -- Global public opinion has switched off nuclear power since the disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant a year ago, bringing an abrupt halt to what the industry had for years been hailing as the nuclear renaissance.
For China, which is engaged in the world's biggest nuclear power program, it is an issue that policymakers must struggle with. China has 15 nuclear power plants now operating and plans in place for another 65 to be either operating, under construction or awaiting permission by 2020.
"Public opinion reversed after Fukushima. It is now 58 percent against and 42 percent in favor. It was the opposite before. It is a big problem for us," Wang Jun, chief engineer of the State Nuclear Power Corporation, told ClimateWire on the margins of a nuclear energy industry meeting held here last week.
But like the rest of the nuclear power industry, China is determined to press ahead with what it sees as the only viable major low-carbon source of baseload electricity to supply its 1.4 billion people in a decarbonizing world.
"In China, there is no alternative to new nuclear. Wind, solar are just too small," Wang explained, adding that the Chinese government has instituted a program to sell nuclear power to its skeptical public, including taking farmers on tours of nuclear plants in a bid to reassure them of their safety.
Globally, selling nuclear will not be an easy task, as many of the speakers and members of the audience from around the world stressed at the Royal Society's Nuclear Energy in the 21st Century meeting.
Even in South Korea, where public attitudes toward nuclear power are strongly favorable, there is no such acceptance when it comes to finding somewhere to keep the highly toxic waste. Riots have erupted wherever the government has tried to broach the issue.
An Ipsos MORI opinion poll taken since Fukushima showed that a large majority of people in China, France -- which gets nearly 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear -- Italy, Germany, Japan and Russia oppose nuclear power plants, with India strongly in favor and both the United Kingdom and the United States more or less evenly divided.
Watching the German 'experiment'
Germany, in particular, in what one speaker at the meeting referred to as an "experiment," reversed a law post-Fukushima that in itself had been overturning a decision to phase out its nuclear power plants. As things stand, it will have no more nuclear power after 2022.
Nuclear power, which accounts for around 18 percent of the country's electricity production, will leave a huge gap if it does not recover. For example, while Germany has made great strides in both wind and solar energy due to huge incentives from the government, the support levels are being slashed, leaving open the question of how it will fill the post-2022 power gap.
Many talk of natural gas, which has half the carbon emissions of coal, while others talk of carbon capture and storage being the clean answer. But the Bundesrat, the country's upper house of parliament, in September rejected a law that would have made the technology eligible for support from the European Union. Without that, at least in its initial stages, carbon capture would be economically nonviable.
"We will be watching the German experiment on moving away from nuclear power with great interest," said geography professor Geoffrey Boulton of Edinburgh University in Scotland, one of the two-day meeting's organizers. "If it collapses, it will send one signal. If it succeeds, it will send quite another one."
He said the nuclear power industry had to do a far better job globally of selling its safety record to the public, which had grown very wary after three major nuclear accidents -- Three Mile Island in the United States in 1979, Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986 and Fukushima last March.
"We have got to deal with the legacy of public distrust in institutions and the industry," he said.
The United Kingdom, which has had a civil nuclear program since the mid-1950s and gets about 16 percent of its electricity from atomic power, is also facing a crucial decision on what to do when the last of its nuclear plants is closed due to age in 2035.
Unfinished business in the U.K.
Professor Nick Pidgeon, a psychologist at Cardiff University in Wales, who has been studying attitudes to nuclear power for years, said: "Support for nuclear power in this country would not survive another Fukushima." He told the meeting that the only way it had been made palatable in recent years had been by framing it in the climate context.
The country's center-right coalition government has made it clear it wants a new fleet of nuclear plants built, citing its legal requirement to cut climate-changing carbon emissions and emphasizing energy security as oil and gas from the North Sea start to run out.
But Conservative Party Prime Minister David Cameron, under pressure from the coalition's traditionally anti-nuclear Liberal Democrats, has promised there will be no public money involved. The major energy utilities in the United Kingdom, including France's EDF and Germany's E.ON, while stating the desire to build new nuclear plants, have also made it clear they will not cover the multibillion-dollar upfront costs themselves without some serious price guarantees.
Since nuclear power doesn't produce greenhouse gases, the industry may get some financial support from emissions trading, but while negotiations are going on, the outcome remains unclear.
Meanwhile, environmental groups are circling for the kill. A group of four former leaders of the environmental campaign group Friends of the Earth has sent an open letter to Cameron and other nuclear-leaning British leaders asserting that France would benefit the most from a decision to support more nuclear power.
The French government owns the majority of EDF, which runs all of France's nuclear plants, owns eight of the existing U.K. fleet and has expressed interest in building four new ones using French technology.
"Viable options are available to meet our energy and climate security needs at much lower economic and political risk," the letter said.

It's hard to believe that the Christmas season is upon us once again. It's the time of year that adults count their blessings, and the kids start putting together their 'wish list.' Ok, so the adults start putting together their wish lists too. It shouldn't be just the kids that have all the fun, right? This year I thought I would share the Iowa State Patrol's wish list with you, the motoring public.
Know the road conditions prior to travel
Make use of the many resources available to find road conditions prior to your trip. Listen to your local radio and TV stations. Dial 511 using your cell phone. On the web, use www.iowaroadconditions.org or www.511ia.org.
Home sweet home
If road conditions are bad, STAY HOME. Consider leaving early or postponing your trip to allow road crews time to clear the roads. If roads are closed or travel is not recommended, emergency services may not be able to get to you if you become stranded.
Drive defensively
Wearing your seatbelt, and maintaining a safe speed and following distance are simply not enough when driving in adverse weather conditions. Be prepared for other drivers to make mistakes, and know how to prevent a crash when they do.
Carry a winter survival kit
Last winter there were several cases of motorists becoming stranded in winter weather, and being unprepared for what happened next. Make sure you have a survival kit in each of your vehicles just in case. Some items to include: cell phone, cell phone charger, warm clothing, flashlight, sand, shovel, high energy food, water, booster cables.
Move over, slow down for emergency lights
If you see flashing lights ahead, move over and slow down. Not only is it the law, it also prevents you from becoming part of the problem on the road. Give snow plows extra room when they are plowing. If there is a crash ahead, move over and slow down for law enforcement and emergency service vehicles.
It never fails that every Christmas you see stories in the news about families that are forever changed by a crash that takes the life of a loved one. Most people see these stories and think to themselves.'it will never happen to my family'. There are hundreds of families nationwide that had that very thought, and then everything changed. Take the time now to consider how you can put our 'wish list' to work and not allow your family to become a statistic.
Safe travels this Christmas from the Iowa State Patrol.

Let me start with a quotation fom the Vedit On_Line_Help, topic AMSI and OEM Characters:
"The original IBM PC represented special characters, including non-English characters such as German "umlauts", in the OEM character set.
For example, the "umlaut u" was represented by value 129 decimal (81 hex).
Windows, however, uses the ANSI character set in which all non-English characters are represented by values different from their OEM values.
For example, the "umlaut u" in the ANSI character set is represented by value 252 decimal (FC hex)."
Next, I wanted to verify each of these two statements in the ansi-utf.vdm macro file. In short, I succeeded verifying the first staement,
but not the second one. Here are the details:
Since that macro file uses hexadecimal values, I did search for FC. I had a single hit, and this is the line that I got.
FC 00 81 Latin small letter u with diaeresis
Furthermore, this line came from the // OEM Charset CodePage 437 part odf the table.
I learned that the "official name" of the umlaut has changed to diaeresis. Hence the above description says u umlaut.
Now a quotation about the table:
// The translation tables for characters corresponding to ANSI 0x80 - 0x9F
// or VEDIT OEM 0x80 - 0xFF
// One line per character:
// Two hex bytes for the target UTF-16 character
// One hex byte for the source ANSI/OEM character
// An optional description
In short the table verifies the first statement, saying that:
In the OEM character set,
for example, the "umlaut u" was represented by value 129 decimal (81 hex).
My problem is the second part of the statement saying that:
For example, the "umlaut u" in the ANSI character set is represented by value 252 decimal (FC hex).
Specifically, in the, // ANSI Charset - Code Page 1252, part of the table I did not find any FC in the third column.
Just to be on the safe side, I did verify that in the reference given in ansi-utf.vdm, the Unicode U00FC indeedd corresponds
to the " Latin small letter u with diaeresis". Incidentally, the reference http://www.alanwood.net/demos/ansi.html is a very nice one.
It also gives the corresponding html code.
I also verified that 129 decimal = 81 hex. This is that I did, in the Vedit Command window.
First type #1=0xFC and next #1 . Then I got the return value 252.
However, I forgot how to convert 252 decimal to hexadecimal.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech tennis team cleared a major hurdle Saturday with a 5-2 road win over Austin Peay, clinching at least a share of the 2013 OVC Tennis regular season title. The Golden Eagles can claim the crown outright Sunday with a win at Murray State.
Tech's 16th consecutive OVC regular season victory snapped Austin Peay's 14-match winning streak and left coach Kenny Doyle's team with an 8-0 record this spring in conference clashes. Regardless of the outcome Sunday at Murray State, Tech will head to the OVC Championships in Paducah, Ky., as the number one seeded team.
The Golden Eagles got the drop on the Govs by winning the doubles point with victories at the top two spots for a 1-0 lead. Syrym Abdukhalikov and Alejandro Augusto cruised to an 8-2 victory on the No. 1 court over Sean Bailey and Jasmin Ademovic. On the No. 2 court, Artem Tarasov and Vasily Eremeev claimed an 8-4 victory over Dimitar Ristovski and Iago Seffrin. The No. 3 doubles contest went unfinished after Tech clinched the point.
All six singles contests were won in straight sets, with the Golde Eagles getting wins in four spots.
Abdukhalikov won his eighth consecutive match and improved to 8-0 in the OVC and 13-2 in dual matches when he took a 6-4, 6-2 decision from Bailey in the No. 1 position. Augusto also improved to 8-0 in OVC matches and 12-3 overall in dual matches as he earned a similar, 6-3, 6-4 victory at No. 2 over Ademovic.
Eremeev won his battle at No. 4 singles, disposing of Aleksas Tverijonas, 6-3, 7-5, lifting his record in OVC matches to 8-0. The final Tech point came courtesy of Arturo Santa at No. 6, where he posted a 6-4, 6-1 win over Evan Borowski.
The Govs two points came at No. 3 and No. 5. Dimitar Ristovski downed Tarasov, 7-5, 6-0, at No. 3, while John Storie claimed a 7-6, 6-2 win over Alvaro Cintas at No. 5.

This new, regular feature on NHLNumbers will share interesting stats-related posts from around the web almost every day.
Welcome to edition number seven of the rebooted Number Chains. In this space you will be able to find the best analytical hockey writing from around the internet on a close-to-daily basis. Subject matter will include statistical evaluation, financial analysis, contractual issues, and (sometimes) closely-related tangential works. If you have something you would like to submit for a future edition (your writing or that of someone else) feel free to send it to me via Twitter @JoshL1220 or leave a comment.
Yesterday Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy fame asked if NHL fans would cancel their season tickets even if the league played games this year. He points out one big difference between this lockout and the lost year of 2004-05:
But there will (sic) some, like these Hurricanes fans, that don't come back. The deeper the lockout goes, the more fans will leave. It's not going to be through some petition or pledge drive or Twitter hash-tagged boycott. It's going to be dedicated fans who evaluate their finances, think about how this League had punched them in the stomach and spit in their hair twice in seven years, and then reallocate their entertainment expenditures to cover life's more pertinent costs.
The biggest difference between 2005 and 2012, to that end: One glance at Facebook, one search on Twitter, and they'll know they're not alone. That's comforting and empowering to fans, and should scare the feces out of the National Hockey League.
I know that one way or the other I will still be around, but I would have a hard time being critical of anyone chosing to spend their money elsewhere. The NHL Lockout is obviously not on par with the civil unrest in the Middle East or the Occupy protests, but we've seen the power of social media in organizing and documenting those protests. Protests springing up via Facebook or Twitter in response to the NHL once they finally get back to work wouldn't be the most shocking response to the lockout.
After the jump more national writing about hockey in Houston, more lockout news, some statistical work from around The Nation, and Carolina Hurricanes point projections.
* Adam Proteau discussed the ramifications of potentially cancelling the Winter Classic at The Hockey News.
I'm not trying to convince you one cancelled game is in and of itself more heinous than the hundreds of regular-season contests already kiboshed in this latest lockout travesty that has become standard operating procedure for the league's owners. However, there's something exceedingly nauseating about both the symbolism and ramifications on the ground that would come with the cancellation of this marquee event.
To begin with, there's the undeniable fact the Winter Classic has, in just half a decade, become one of the league's hottest properties. For many, the outdoor showdown carries more cachet than the All-Star Game. The WC is also linked to HBO's "24/7" behind-the scenes series, another recent and successful innovation. NBC, the U.S. network that broadcasts the game, has been very pleased with the ratings it receives from the New Year's Day event.
But all the momentum the NHL has built with this product will be balled up and pitched into the trash the moment they mothball it. It doesn't matter whether the league offers to re-stage this year's game in the same city whenever it comes to its senses and ends this labor farce; the bitter residue of cancelling this particular WC, in this particular season, will linger for quite some time.
Breaking News: The NHL sucks at public relations.
* Corey Sznajder posted his 2012-13 season point predictions for the Carolina Hurricanes. Spoiler alert: the Staal forward brothers are good.
*Jesse Spector comes pretty close to convincing me to go to a Houston Aeros game by discussing the development of Charlie Coyle and Mikael Granlund. That November 11th game at home against the Texas Stars looks pretty appealing right about now.
* Cam Charron told The Leafs Nation that Matt Frattin is probably just a replacement level player. As Cam explains:
He could be an NHL player. I wouldn't ever bother with him in a top-six, and you could do a whole lot worse than him on the fourth line (Colton Orr, for instance). I think there's a bit of a disconnect between people's expectations of Frattin and what Frattin can actually do. Really, what can he do that any free agent winger can't? Those are the things you need to look at. Sure, if you look at him in a vaccuum, you could say "he's really good at this, this and this" but so are a lot of players. It's the marginal improvements that are important, and Frattin hasn't shown much of those at this level. If he had, he'd be doing a lot better.
Poor Colton Orr.
* Some hack did projections for the Vancouver Canucks depth forwards for Canucks Army. This time the link to his work is correct.
* Last but not least Dan Oldfield of CBC Sports compares the current labor negotiations to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. He offers some discouraging words:
In The Art of War, Sun Tzu warns, "Never surround the village." What that means is that you must give your opponent an option other than fighting. In other words, an honourable way out.
Unfortunately, Gary Bettman and the owners missed that chapter.
Getting the players back to the table while maintaining the momentum towards a 50-50 revenue split will mean that someone has to come up with a way of addressing the core issue of honouring existing player contracts. It won't be done with other players' money.
In a perverse way, the NHL and the NHLPA both view time as an ally. Perhaps the other side may soften up if they hold out long enough. And that may be fine in the short term.
But it's a risky strategy that gets even riskier the longer it goes on. It means both sides are digging in ever more deeply. It means they're not focusing on solutions, but on their own perception of each other's weaknesses. It means they're expecting the other to fold first.
Enjoy your NHL-less weekend.

Yes, Murilee's Big '80s Flashback post today did remind us of many, many awkward pre-collegiate moments. It performed that function for plenty of the commenters, too. Actually, there might have only been one time during the entire decade when we actually felt truly cool, and that was when we read Bret Easton Ellis' Less Than Zero in the Buick Regal while waiting for a little brother to take the SATs. Our Commenter Of The Day had it much worse.
It's Uncle_Bo who nabs the honors:
I usually love Murilee's finds of 80's car commercials but this one hits so close to home, it churns my stomach with 20+ year old repressed memories.
The faux Cyndi Lauper vocals, the wannabe Flashdancers, the wailing superstrat guitar solo, The Kajagoogoo hairstyles on the guys, the Aqua Netted New Jersey mall hair and fake fingernails of all the Tiffany pretenders and the absolute horribleness of the Duster is just too much for me.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to listen to The Bongos and maybe some Thomas Dolby and try to forget I ever saw this video.

With so many products out there claiming to give you a toned and tight belly, how can you possibly choose the best one for you? Read along this Flat Belly Overnight review, an online training program packed with dietary tips and tricks for sexier and flatter abdomen – and decide if this is just what you need.
Overview on Flat Belly Overnight
The Flat Belly Overnight is geared towards people who wish to have a toned, sculpted and tight abdomen. It includes a series of eBooks that focus on three different topics such as a detox formula, template for a flatter belly, and exercise videos to strengthen your abdomen and eliminate belly fat. These are short videos that you can watch everyday and use as a guide during your workout sessions.
According to the creator of the Flat Belly Overnight program, losing belly fat is possible even without having to deprive yourself of your favorite food. What's more, you can shed pounds and trim your midsection as you sleep. Thus, the program's developer calls it "Flat Belly Overnight", which offers a combination of the right exercise, diet and template to achieve a gorgeous belly.
Quick Facts about the Creator of Flat Belly Overnight
Andrew Raposo is the man behind this training program. He is a Toronto-based CSEP Certified Personal Trainer, as well as a Strength Coach. According to him, he developed this program to address Amy's (his sister) weight issues after she gained excess weight at 40. This significant gain in weight led to type 2 diabetes, which also triggered a stroke.
He has formulated different techniques to eliminate belly fat, and these include exercises, detox and diet tips that anyone can follow. Moreover, he claims that this program can help people shed 1 to 2 pounds every night as they sleep. Andrew continues by saying that in only 7 days, you can improve your health and overall appearance through the Flat Belly Overnight program.
With the positive effect this program has done to Amy, Andrew considers his creation as a miracle technique that saved his sister's life. He also aims to help save others' life and regain their confidence and energy level with a new and improved body.
How the Program Works
There are three main sections in the program such as the following:
1. Done For You Template
Flat Belly Overnight provides a sequential guide that will walk you through the process of losing weight safely and effectively. The template includes a diet guide combined with exercises that focus more on your belly. As you follow the steps in this template, you will notice evident results that just keep getting better and better while you continue with the program.
2. Detox Formula
To get rid of belly fat, you also need to detoxify aside from eating the right foods and exercising. Hence, the detox formula is a section in this program that introduces the use of spices and herbs for body cleansing and fat elimination. Recommended herbs are widely available at your local supermarket, and these help fight gut inflammation and support weight loss.
3. 3- Minute Belly Flattening Sequences
This program also features a series of exercises to give you a firmer belly, which will complement your weight loss diet. These are short videos are prepared by professional fitness trainers, and you can perform these workouts even at the comfort of your own home. What's more, these exercises are designed for people of all ages and activity levels. All it takes is your dedication to performing these belly flattening and strengthening exercise to get the results you want.
Pricing Details
Since it is digital product, the Flat Belly Overnight program should not cost that much, right? Well, the creator of this program sells this product for $37, which is quite a reasonable price considering the comprehensive guide you can get from it. Upon settling this fee, you will instantly receive in your inbox all three core sections of this program.
For your convenience, you can even transfer these digital products to your e-reader or mobile device such as your tablet and smartphone. So, you can work your way towards a flatter belly anytime and anywhere in the world you may be.
There are several payment schemes in purchasing the Flat Belly Overnight. You may use your credit card or PayPal, so that takes the stress out in buying this product. It is also worth noting that this online training program is risk-free, since the creator offers a 60-day full guarantee. This means, you can simply ask for a refund in case you are not totally satisfied with this program.
Pros and Cons of the Program
Let as look into the positive and negative features of the Flat Belly Overnight as presented below:
Is This Product For You?
There have been studies that disprove the possibility of targeting weight loss in one particular area of your body such as the midsection by simply performing workouts for specific problem areas. Based on fitness experts, an effective way of tightening your muscles in the abdominal region is by performing strengthening exercises for the belly. As you go along this routine, your stomach muscles will become more defined and more toned. Hence, it may appear that you have lost fat in your midsection.
Yet, Flat Belly Overnight attempts to break away from the myth involved with targeted fat loss. In fact, it claims that by following techniques presented in the program, you can eliminate belly fat in as littly as 7 days – and even while you sleep. However, you have to keep in mind that although you may improve the appearance of your belly, this program is not designed to treat obesity or overweight issues overnight. The effects will come in a slow and gradual process.
Overall, Flat Belly Overnight offers valuable pieces of information on diet and strenthening program for your abdomen. The exercise videos are easy to follow, and the template is straightforward and practical. For its price, it is a solid program with safe and natural techniques for improving your health.

Story highlights
- Eugenie Bouchard reaches the semifinal of the Australian Open after beating Ana Ivanovic
- After the match, Bouchard revealed her dream date would be fellow Canadian Justin Bieber
- The 19-year-old will play China's Li Na in the last four at Melbourne Park
After beating former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic to reach the semifinals of the Australian Open, rising tennis star Eugenie Bouchard is one step closer to making her dreams come true.
No, not dreams of a first grand slam title, but a date with fellow Canadian and teenage heartthrob Justin Bieber.
With her mind still racing after coming from one-set down to beat 14th seed Ivanovic 5-7 7-5 6-2 and reach the last four of a major for the first time, Bouchard was asked during her on-court interview who her ideal date would be.
The world No. 31 plumped for Bieber, who has a dedicated army of fans -- known as "Beliebers" -- and over 48 million followers on Twitter.
"I like him, I like his songs, I think he has a lot of talent," 19-year-old Bouchard told CNN. "For sure he's doing some crazy teenage things, but I think he's really cool."
Bouchard, making her debut in the Australian Open main draw, is the first Canadian since Carling Bassett-Seguso at the 1984 U.S. Open to reach the last four of a grand slam. No Canadian has ever reached a grand slam final.
"I'm proud to make some kind of history," added Bouchard, who is seeded 30th in Melbourne. "That's really cool.
"If it improves the popularity of the sport back home and if little kids, little girls want to play the sport because of me, that's an honor."
Before Bouchard can turn her attentions to Bieber, she has a semifinal with last year's beaten finalist Li Na to contend with.
The fourth seed was in complete control as she brushed aside Italy's Flavia Pennetta 6-2 6-2.
"I prepared at least one and a half days for this match," the 2011 French Open champion told reporters.
"I knew she was going to be a tough opponent -- I had played her four times before, and every time was tough.
"But I don't really know what happened today. I just played really well. I just prepared really well before I came to the court.
"I'm really happy. Everyone wants to win a grand slam, but you have to be in the semis first, right?"

RockShox Pike leads the charge with SRAM XX1 in a 1-2-3 Sweep at the Enduro World Series
RockShox PIKE and SRAM XX1 Dominate Enduro World Series #4
- photos by Dave Trumpore
XX1 swept the top three spots of the Elite Men's podium at the 4th round of the Enduro World Series held in Winter Park, Colorado. RockShox Pike led the charge on board Enduro World series leader Jerome Clementz's (Cannondale Overmountain), XX1, Avid and TRUVATIV equipped race bike. The weekend saw the worlds best Enduro racers competing in 5 stages over 3 days high up in the Colorado Rockies at over 11,000 feet of elevation. With a wide variety of terrain from raw, technical, fast and rough to groomed jump lines it was a series of stages sure to highlight the most diverse mountain bikers in the world. Jerome set the pace early taking the lead after the first two stages on day one, with Nicolas Vouilloz (Lapierre) and Fabien Barel (Canyon Factory Enduro) chasing close behind in 2nd and 3rd.
Jerome continued to extend his lead as the rest of the field struggled to keep up to his consistent pace on the second days stages which were described as some of the most difficult of the weekend. In the Elite Women's field Anneke Beerten (Specialized) was sitting in 3rd place going in to the final day for stage 5 which was mapped out to be one of the longest and most physically demanding of them all.
Sunday morning the racers set off for the 5th and final stage that was set to be the longest and most diverse of the weekend. Jerome used his RockShox Pike and Reverb, SRAM XX1 drivetrain, Avid XO Trail brakes and very own TRUVATIV athlete signature series Blackbox handlebars to extend his overall lead to over 35 seconds on the field. This unquestionable win on the weekend further established his reputation for one of the most dominating Enduro racers in the World. Nicolas Vouilloz and Fabien Barel would take second and third behind him, completing a 1-2-3 sweep for SRAM XX1, RockShox Reverb and Avid X0 Trail breaks on the podium. Nicolas Vouilloz is also on board SRAM Roam wheels and has taken them to multiple podium finishes throughout the Enduro World Series in 2013. In the Women's race Anneke Beerten showed her consistency and determination maintaining her third place just behind Anne Caroline Chausson (Ibis Team) who was also onboard SRAM XX1 drivetrain and RockShox Reverb.
Also taking place in Winter Park, Colorado was a Gold FMB World Tour stop where riders and spectators were greeted to nothing short of a spectacular course for the Slopestyle event. Anthony Messere took top honors in qualifying using his RockShox Argyle, SRAM X0 Drivetrain and Avid brakes. In the finals it was Martin Soderstrom (Specialized/RedBull) who would come out on top with Peter Henke and Antoine Thelander rounding out the podium all using RockShox Argyle, SRAM X0 drivetrain, Avid brakes with TRUVATIV handlebar and stem.
Next stop of the Enduro World Series will be at the Crankworx festival August 10-11 in Whistler, Canada.

These beams are obtained from fission fragments of a Cf-252 source, thermalized and collected into a low-energy particle beam by a helium gas catcher, mass analyzed by an isobar separator, and charge bred with an ECR ion source to higher charge states for acceleration in ATLAS. Low-energy mass separated radioactive beams have been extracted, charge bred with a 10% efficiency, reaccelerated to 6 MeV/u, and delivered to GAMMASPHERE for beta decay studies. In addition, the Canadian Penning Trap (CPT) mass spectrometer has been relocated to the CARIBU low-energy beam line. Mass measurements on over 42 neutron rich nuclei have already been performed and additional measurements are underway. In addition, a new tape station for beta decay studies has just been commissioned. In this talk I will describe the current status of the overall CARIBU system and the plans for bringing the system into full operation and use in research with accelerated beams.

Excerpt: Chapters 7-8
Chapter 7
But in that very hour of His passion and cross, before they had come to the cruel act
of His slaughter and the shedding of His blood, what violent abuses He listened to with
patience, and what shameful insults He endured! He was even covered with the spittle of
His revilers, when, but a short time before, with His own spittle He had cured the eyes of
the blind man. He Himself suffered the lash, in whose name His servants now scourge the
devil and His angels. He who now crowns the martyrs with eternal garlands was Himself
crowned with thorns; He who now gives true palms to the victors was beaten in the face
with hostile palms; He who clothes all others with the garment of immortality was stripped
of His earthly garment; He who has given the food of heaven was fed with gall; He who has
offered us the cup of salvation was given vinegar to drink. He the innocent, He the just,
nay rather, Innocence Itself and Justice Itself is counted among criminals, and Truth is
concealed by false testimonies. He who is to judge is judged, and the Word of God, silent,
is led to the cross. And although the stars are confounded at the crucifixion of the Lord,
the elements are disturbed, the earth trembles, night blots out the day, the sun withdraws
both its rays and its eyes lest it be forced to gaze upon the crime of the Jews, yet He
does not speak, nor is He moved, nor does He proclaim His majesty, even during the
suffering itself. He endures all things even to the end with constant perseverance so that
in Christ a full and perfect patience may find its realization.
Chapter 8
And after such sufferings, He even still receives His murderers if they are converted
and come to Him, and with a patience instrumental in saving man, this kind Master closes
His Church to no one. Those adversaries, those blasphemers, those persistent enemies of
His name, provided they do penance for their offense, provided they acknowledge the crime
committed, He not only receives and pardons, but admits to the reward of the kingdom oŁ
heaven. What can be called more patient, what more kind? Even he who shed the blood of
Christ is given life by the blood of Christ. Such is the wonderful patience of Christ.

Some time back, I wrote about what can happen in 100 days. It was related to how quickly life changes, how it moves on, and how we forget even in the wake of the horrible trial like that of Caylee Anthony. Life goes on and new lessons are learned in 100 days (or less).
Such is the situation with my family and the personal lessons we are learning over these past 100 days. In these months, my in-laws, because of significant health care issues and the medical supervision they need have been moved into a nursing home. Additionally in this time, my father in-law has moved into Hospice care following an unsuccessful heart surgery; end of life care for what is now a rather immediate terminal condition. Once again, I am made aware that we cannot predict the next 100 days of our lives—let alone the next minute.
There are lessons, however, I am learning in these days that are forever imprinted on my soul and conscious mind to use as guides for my own life and future. These are life shaping lessons that are ones I believe we must all understand to live well in the time we have on this planet.
Lesson One: Your material possessions should never define who you are
My in-laws' 82 years of life and material accumulation have been reduced in the past 100 days to an 18 x 15 foot room (I know because I measured it). I have been responsible to help my wife clear out their house of material possessions. I have thrown away so much that they held sacred because no one wants it; Goodwill Industries is getting a large share or college students who need furniture getting another hefty helping. What we have and accumulate in life are tools to use but should not define who we are. Hold all the things you own loosely, not being afraid to give them away or discard them when not needed. What you treasure someone will ultimately discard as so much clutter or trash. Travel light in this world. (And thus by corollary don't buy in the first place what you don't need and use or invest your financial resources more wisely. Savings is a really good thing to have….it gives you options)
Lesson Two: Prepare for your own health future in your working years
Related to lesson one is preparation for one's own health future and the options you are preparing to have in your later years. We WASTE, and I don't mean this as a literary figurative image, significant financial resources while we are alive on stuff no one will want in the end; therefore using up valuable resources needed in old age for health care and living with dignity.
We don't think about this when we are young but I have witnessed a full nursing home (with a waiting list to get in) where long life has been reduced to 18 x 15 foot rooms, normally shared with another person (thus a 9 x 7.5 foot cubicle separated by a curtain, if you are lucky). If you have enough resources available you might find space in assisted living or a retirement community, but that is a fantasy unless you spend your working life preparing for it. Wasting money on things one does not need or making poor financial decisions during one's working years will leave very few choices when one is old. If you don't plan now, you will reap the reward for that lack of preparation in the future. Take a minute to read Aesop's "Grasshopper and the Ant" fable (and if you don't believe me, take a field trip to a nursing home beyond singing there during the Christmas season for ½ hour). The delusion is thinking someone else will pay for this or Medicare has too. They will….but you won't be pleased with the accommodations.
Lesson Three: Dying peacefully in your sleep is a fantasy we should hope will happen
In the last 100 days, I have witnessed that slipping away in one's sleep is not the norm for the end of our lives. I have witnessed rooms of people who are alone, dying slowly by the tick-tock of the clock where a few minutes become an eternity of time. Most people I observe are in a slow, long, sometimes painful process of dying. We often lament those who die unexpectedly by a heart attack or accident. But in what I am witnessing it is the blessing not to be feared. What should be feared is the long, painful struggle toward death that I've observed by most people in the nursing facility that I am visiting regularly. (This too has a corollary: make nursing home visitation a part of your life choices of service. There are many lonely people in these places…no one visiting them. A place where the television or the occasional nurses' aid dispensing medication or cleaning is your only companion. And by a second corollary, don't tell people—or their families–you will visit them if you actually don't take the initiative to set the time aside and do it. The most honest comment I've had to date is from an elderly neighbor of my in-laws who said, "I would tell you, call me if you need anything, but that's not true. Best of wishes to you.")
Lesson Four: In the US Western culture, we live in delusion by using nursing homes to keep us separated by the realities of aging and death
Nursing homes, at least for me and in my observation, have become a repository for the aging and sick, so that we can live a delusional state during our younger, healthier years. Somehow we believe we will never die—and keeping the aging and infirmed separate from us keeps us in this fantasy worldview. We are all going to die—you, me, everyone. It may be quick or long, but we are not living forever here on this planet. The US culture via media, advertising and all the books on a blissful heaven with streets of gold are a means of self deception to live "happily ever after." (By corollary, I personally am in the camp of British theologian, NT Wright related to heaven and the afterlife. I don't fall into the norm of the evangelical position here. If you want know my position, see the April 16, 2012 issue of Time Magazine, "Rethinking Heaven," by Jon Meacham)
Lesson Five: People can rise to the occasion and exhibit the best of the human spirit and character
Lest you read this post and slide into depression or "doom and gloom," let me end with a word of hope (which is also my conviction and belief about the afterlife as well–hope). I have witnessed the human spirit and the most cherished character qualities of humanity rise to the occasion for what is needed in times of struggle and heartache. Again in the West, we love our heroes. But I have observed the true heroes in this world over these 100 days; those who rise to the occasion over long periods of time and who are not a flash of heroism as we dramatize constantly (it has its place, instant heroism, but it is not the norm to be coveted or to gauge our lives against). I have watched my wife—and other family members in the nursing home–as my prime example. She has worked diligently to be present while being employed full time, giving dignity, and being an advocate for her parents in that 18 x 15 room. She has worked hard…there is no other descriptor—to do what is needed. I, too, have learned what being a husband is about. It is taking care of all the chores in the house so there is a place of safety when my wife does come home. It is hugging and loving as a companion or spouse and not as a sexual, romantic gesture—just being present. It is knowing to keep my mouth shut and opinions to myself on how to do something. It is just being there when needed, and engaging when asked….to bring some chocolate or a diet soda "just because" to that 18 x 15 room. To BE LOVE in the most important ways possible.
So my advice, dear reader? Evaluate your life now. Take stock of what is important and what is illusionary. Plan and prepare for your future (no one….I mean no one….will take care of that for you). Learn about aging and dying slowly….read some Hospice materials. Make nursing home visits a normal part of your life service, not just a Christmas feel good visit to sing a few songs and make old people smile. And learn about real love, commitment and fidelity beyond romance, so that relationships can be sustained and grow over a life time.
Blessings to you for this day, in the reflection, and the commitment to undertake understanding. Grace and peace.

Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, and Jaffe is a popular textbook that emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance, while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application. The well-respected author team is known for their clear, accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent teaching tool. Brad Jordan, known for his successful work on the RWJ Fundamentals and Essentials books, contributed to this edition. His influence will be seen particularly in the writing style with smoother coverage of topics, and the increased quality in the problem material.Ross, Stephen A. is the author of 'Corporate Finance ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780073105901 and ISBN 0073105902.[read more]

The air of compelling melancholy that hangs over all of Jean-Pierre Melville's classic policiers is especially inescapable while watching his 1972 "Un Flic." This was the last film the director finished before dying of a heart attack at age 55, and it has many of the traits that have made him a favorite for fans of crime films in general and the French variety in particular.
Melville had a celebrated cameo in Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless," playing the literary celebrity interviewed by Jean Seberg who says his ambition is "to become immortal and die," a state his 13 films, including such gems as "Le Samuraï," "Army of Shadows" and "Bob le Flambeur," have enabled him to achieve.
If there is such a thing as the typical Melville film, "Un Flic" (A Cop) — playing for a week at the Nuart in West Los Angeles in a new 35mm print struck from the original negative by Rialto Pictures — isn't it.
PHOTOS: Behind-the-scenes Classic Hollywood
For one thing, it features Richard Crenna, the veteran American actor whose work included TV's "The Real McCoys" and the first three "Rambo" films, as Parisian club owner and master criminal Simon. (Crenna apparently studied French and spoke his lines in that language but was dubbed in post-production.)
For another, it features Catherine Deneuve, a more glamorous actress than Melville usually used, in the kind of supporting role she was already too big of a star to ordinarily accept. But this was Melville, after all, one of the French film industry's iconic figures.
Melville's crime films are best viewed as a heady combination of seeming realism and extreme stylization, and the sequence that opens "Un Flic" (which got a desultory American release in 1975 as "Dirty Money") is one of his best.
The scene is St.-Jean-de-Monts, a French seaside town in the deserted dead of winter. An enormous American car, four hard men in soft hats inside, rolls down an empty street and stops near the only bright light in sight — a branch of the BNP (Bank Nationale de Paris). The skies open up, the rain pours down, the car's red taillights look spectacular against the blue haze, and the men head toward the bank, robbery on their mind.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
This treatment of crime as a ritualistic venture on a par with the Japanese tea ceremony is another Melville trademark. Naturally, everything doesn't go as planned and ringleader Simon has to figure out how to deal with the consequences.
This seaside robbery is intercut with the introduction of "Un Flic's" namesake and other protagonist: Paris police inspector Edouard Coleman, played by Melville veteran Alain Delon.
A cop who prowls the city by squad car from dusk to dawn, always responding with a curt "on my way" to the persistent radio calls he gets, Delon's Coleman is young and handsome with ice in his veins. Ruthless with everyone he deals with, from a trio of uncooperative pickpockets to a glamorous cross-dresser (Valérie Wilson), Coleman doesn't hesitate to use the third degree when he feels it's necessary. Which is a lot.
The only time Coleman relaxes at all is when he visits Simon's, one of Melville's typically glamorous small Paris nightclubs, where showgirls dance and Simon's girlfriend, Cathy (Deneuve), looks glam in a stunning Yves St. Laurent black gown. Coleman is clearly interested in Cathy as well, so much so that Simon's criminal activity is not something this implacable, inscrutable cop suspects.
Simon, for his part, is not content to sit home and count his money. He plans another, even more complicated robbery, a 20-minute caper that is both a model of exposition (the whole thing takes place in real time) and curious to modern eyes in its use of unmistakable model trains and helicopters rather than the real thing.
Though not among Melville's classics, "Un Flic" is a pleasure to experience. As with all the director's works, it believes in the connection and complicity between cops and criminals and introduces us to individuals with names such as Matthew the Suitcase, hard guys who haven't smiled since Paris was liberated. In other words, it takes us to Melville's particular world and makes us glad to be there.

Look!: Composting Diapers, Food and Leaves
This may not make for savory lunch fare, but it should, because this is all about how there's a lot of stuff that we use that doesn't need to become "trash" and can become "food" for the earth (and us, in the long run). These pics are of our big outdoor composter out at our family's place on Long Island. We bought the tumbler barrel type so that it was easy to turn and big enough to take a whole season's worth of kitchen scraps and diapers...
Compost before with just kitchen cuttings thrown in
Our composter is a URBAN COMPOST TUMBLER -UCT7, and recently we've taken to putting all of our eco diapers into it as well. This is a big breakthrough, since these things produce more garbage than almost anything else.
Next go in the diapers
The diapers are G Diapers and 100% biodegradable (they are actually the inserted pads. The liner and covers are reusable) and breakdown much more quickly than I expected. As you can see we, in this one weekend load, we put in more than half a dozen wet diapers (pee pee only) and after a few turns, they were already getting broken down by the rich compost that we've got going in there (I also put in some 7th Generation diapers which are NOT entirely biodegradable as well - by mistake - but I am going to see how the parts of them break down and pull out the remainder at season's end).
After a few turns, it's all blended into the compost and the bugs are at work
BTW, these pics were taken about a month ago and this past weekend, EVERYTHING in the barrel is dark black/brown compost and there is no bad odor. A good, hot compost (turned often) is amazing with the speed with which is can break down so much "trash" and turn it into "food."

United Colors Of Jello: Jello and cream of different flavors all in one cone and M&Ms to boot.
I was out all day and came home at 3 pm with no idea what jelly to make for the Jelliriffic! Challenge today. I had to pick my son up from school at 3:30 pm and was worried that there wouldn't be much time to take photos by the time I get back.
Whenever I travel, I love to check out supermarkets and bookstores because the supermarkets and bookstores here are absolutely pathetic. It's no wonder that I hate grocery shopping here. Not one supermarket is well-stocked. Last week I had to go to 3 supermarkets just to get Jello. I think that the selection and variety of products are getting worse as the economy slides.
So what could I make quickly and be set by the time I get back? Jello of course. I had plenty leftover from making Broken Hearts.
I know this is similar to Broken Hearts but you know what, it tasted good and was easy to make so you might want it for your kid's birthday party. I usually avoid coloring but I'm partial to Jello. It's refreshing, fun to eat, looks pretty and is really quite delicious. The addition of cream makes Jello taste even better and with five different flavors, you've got the rainbow covered. Almost.
United Colors Of Jello
1/4 packet each of 5 to7 different Jellos
150 ml dairy whipping cream
Garnish: mini M&Ms
1. Make each 1/4 packet of Jello with 1/2 cup boiling water. To speed up the setting, you can use 1/4 cup of boiling water to dissolve the Jello and then add 1/4 cup of ice-chilled water. Make each Jello in a small bowl and put into the fridge to chill until thick and syrupy. Meanwhile, whisk the cream until stiff and leave in fridge.
2. When the Jellos are syrupy (not set or they won't mix well with the cream), mix 2 heaped tablespoon of cream into each Jello with a small whisk. If the Jello becomes too runny, put it into the fridge to set for a minute or less, depending on how set the Jello is.
2. Rinse a Nick Munro mould and scoop a tablespoon or two (vary the amount) of each color into the mould until the mould is filled. Press each scoop of jelly firmly so that you won't get pockets of air. I did not and you can see pock marks on my jelly. Leave in fridge to set. Garnish with the M&Ms.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — San Antonio Spurs All-Star point guard Tony Parker has suffered yet another injury while toiling for the French national team and is scheduled for an MRI on his right knee, as first reported by the French sports daily L'Equipe.
Parker was injured sometime during his team's 85-84 exhibition loss to Spain, a game in which he scored 26 of his 29 points after halftime. He reportedly missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have won the game.
The San Antonio Express-News is reporting that the injury does not appear to be serious. But that won't soothe the fears of Spurs fans who know that they need Parker healthy for the start of training camp and the 2013-14 season.
EuroBasket will run from Sept. 4-22 in Slovenia, but Parker won't be seeing many of his NBA All-Star brethren there. Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol and Chicago Bulls stars Joakim Noah and Luol Deng are among the key names skipping the tournament for various reasons.
Those four battled injury issues at one time or another last season, just as Parker did. But none of them rebounded in the postseason the way Parker did for the Spurs, who were 30 seconds away from winning the NBA title in Game 6 of The Finals against the Miami Heat.
The Spurs' chances of a Finals return rest on Parker staying healthy and leading a veteran team that does not have a backup point guard capable of replicating his play, even on a temporary basis.
For the Spurs' sake, the results of Parker's MRI need to confirm the Express-News' report that the injury is not serious.

(The Root) — On July 28, 1866, Congress passed a measure establishing the ninth and 10th cavalries and four infantry regiments (38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st) to be comprised of African-American enlisted men. Three years later, the four infantry regiments were consolidated into two regiments, the 24th and 25th.
"The troops were paid $13 a month, plus room, board and clothing," according to the National Park Service. "Enlistment was for five years. Almost immediately these new regiments were transferred to the Western states and territories for service on the American frontier."
They became known as "buffalo soldiers," and the origin of the name is up for debate. One story says it was given to them by Native Americans, who reportedly saw a resemblance between the black man's hair and the mane of a buffalo, according to the Buffalo Soldiers website. Another story relates the name to the ferocious fighting spirit of the buffalo, who display unusual stamina and courage when wounded. The men were former slaves, freemen and black Civil War soldiers, who went on to fight in the "Indian Wars." They also served as U.S. park rangers out West.
"They did a lot of military work, but they also established towns, some of which were all black, that are no longer in existence," McCoy told The Root. "Sometimes the only way to find their history is to get off the beaten path and look for the footprints of the old buildings. They aren't always there because a lot have disappeared."
Unfortunately, there are no formal historic buffalo soldier trails, but tourists can take a road trip that traces part of their migration westward, from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where the 10th Calvary was activated, to Texas and California, where they were among the first rangers in the Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon national parks. (The ninth Cavalry Regiment was activated at Greenville, La.)
Such a road trip all at once would likely be quite educational, according to McCoy, who would love to see a buffalo soldier national historic trail. "This is an important part of our history that really should be preserved," he said.
Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
One of the first stops on the trail should be at the historic fort, which was one of the first homes of the buffalo soldiers, in 1866. A 13-foot bronze monument of a buffalo soldier astride his horse and a smaller bust nearby was dedicated in 1992 by Gen. Colin L. Powell, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was the first African American to serve in that role, according to the Leavenworth Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Fort Sill, Lawton, Okla.
From Kansas, you can travel southwest to Fort Sill Historic Landmark & Museum in Lawton, Okla., which was home to some buffalo soldiers in the 1870s, according to the museum. The soldiers provided assistance in the construction of the post, 46 structures of which are still in use and in mint condition, the museum's website says. Tours of the fort are available. Click here for more information.
Fort Concho, San Angelo, Texas
From Fort Sill, you can travel southwest to Fort Concho National Historic Landmark in San Angelo, Texas, where elements of both cavalries and both regiments of the buffalo soldiers served during its active years. The fort, which was comprised of 40 buildings and covered more than 1600 acres, was shuttered in 1889 after playing a role for nearly 22 years in settling the Texas frontier. Today it is a historic landmark. Click here for more information.
The fort is worth visiting for another reason, according to the Texas Almanac: "Lt. Henry Flipper, the first black graduate of West Point, served with the 10th Cavalry in West Texas and was stationed for a time at Fort Concho in the late 1870s and Fort Davis."
Fort Naco, Tucson, Ariz.
From Texas, some of the soldiers migrated west to Fort Naco. It served as home to the ninth and 10th Cavalries for a number of years. The Arizona Buffalo Soldiers Association website reports that it "is the last of twelve border forts that extended from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California. These forts guarded the U.S. and Mexico border in the early 1900s. Pancho Villa, Black Jack Pershing, Geronimo, Charles Young … Henry Flipper and the Buffalo Soldiers all roamed the border. These forts were established to bring order to the U.S.- Mexico border." Click here for more information.
Fort McCrae and Fort Selden, N.M.
Next door in New Mexico, where, according to the New Mexico Office of the State Historian, buffalo soldiers were a mainstay at Fort McCrae and Fort Selden for a number of years. The National Park Service's website reports the following: "At Fort McCrae, for instance, Black soldiers built several new buildings, put a new roof on the hospital, and made 25,000 adobe bricks for new officers' quarters, which they also built. They along with other workers constructed the mostly adobe Fort Selden, no doubt under the guidance of Hispanic adobe masons." Unfortunately, only foundation traces remain of Fort McCrae, and it is submerged under a reservoir. Click above for more information about Fort Selden.
Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, California
Buffalo soldiers are perhaps best known for the conflicts in what eventually became known as Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon national parks, where they spent their time patrolling challenging terrain, providing sentinels and security for the settlers, building roads and installing telegraph lines, according to the National Park Service.
"They also spent endless hours on the necessary military tasks of drills, inspections, parades, and the care and maintenance of their horses and equipment," according to the park service website. "The troopers faced a mix of danger and boredom accentuated by rigid military discipline. They fought in more than 125 engagements in campaigns against the Cheyenne, Apache, Kiowa, Ute, Comanche, and Sioux. The Black regiments were frequently ordered to return hostile tribes to their appointed reservations. A large percentage of the troops had been born into slavery. Some soldiers were Seminole Negroes, whose ancestors had fled slavery and joined Seminole tribes in Florida. These activities involving Native Americans created feelings of moral dilemma and a sense of irony for many of the Black troops."
