Neurosurgery (Brain)
"This is the best place you never want to be," said Jennifer Wirz of Children's and its neuro-oncology program. Wirz carries in her purse an MRI image of her son Daniel's first brain tumor. "When I'm having a bad day, it reminds me that life could be so much worse. We were thrilled with the outcome of Daniel's first surgery, but the fact that surgeons got such an advanced look at his second tumor (using intraoperative MRI) was simply amazing."
Born with Grade IV Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Hydrocephalus, now an amazing 9-year-old school of rock musician
Collin was born in May 1998, at 32 weeks, and was 3lb 1oz, and only 16 inches. We soon learned that Collin had a Grade IV Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Hydrocephalus, and had a large risk of Cerebral Palsy. It was devastating news, as it would be for any parent.

For many homeschooled students, leaving for college is a significant step toward independence. So is your child prepared? Today's Home School Heartbeat guest joins Mike Farris to discuss how her parents helped her develop the life skills she'd need—before she ever left home!
Mike Farris:
Grace Matte:
In addition, community activities and volunteer work taught me to interact with a variety of people and situations. From being in the church choir to 4-H competitions to work camps, I learned teamwork, problem solving, communication skills, and leadership.
Also, from a very young age, family driving trips through many states and even Canada, gave me a broader perspective on cultural diversity and regional differences. I gained confidence for independent living through travel planning, map reading, tire changing, and detouring skills. These all came in handy when I ended up attending a college eight hours away from home.

Security officer
Pete Stephens was a Sedgwick County detention deputy before he became a security officer at the Kansas Star Casino in December. A Wichita native, Stephens said the casino is a much more positive environment to work in and that his interactions with people are almost always friendly.
You make them (customers) feel warm when they come inside the door, he said.
Since working at the casino hes met millionaires and people from all over the world.
You just never know who is going to come in, Stephens said.
Shift manager
Kari Bisping is a shift manager at the Kansas Star Casino. Bisping, who came to Mulvane from Iowa, is the boss of the pit bosses at the casino. So she oversees the managers who oversee the dealers at the poker, craps and blackjack tables.
Bisping has been in the casino business off and on since 1995, and she started her career as a dealer.
She said her primary job function is to make sure that all the rules are being followed at the table games and poker tables, by dealers and customers alike.
Its just exciting to work in a casino, Bisping said. And I like visiting with the customers.
Christy Howard was one of Kansas Stars first dealers, and had never worked in the casino business before taking the job at the new casino last year.
The Wichita native was working in a military cut-and-sew shop until it closed and she lost her job.
Every day is a different adventure, Howard said of her work.
She said she likes everything about her job, including perfecting her work as a dealer, the atmosphere that she works in and the customers she works with.
Most of all, I like watching the potential of the casino grow, Howard said. There are endless possibilities.
Slot ambassador
David Cox is a Billings, Mont., native who, after a career in teaching, became a golf pro in Arizona.
That was before the economy collapsed and he and his wife, Tammy, lost their jobs.
So they moved to Derby, where Tammy grew up, but they had a tough time finding work until they applied at the casino.
David and Tammy Cox are both slot ambassadors, assigned to help people who are playing the casinos hundreds of slot machines.
His favorite part of the job? It has to be paying out the jackpots, he said.
Cox adds that over time hes come to learn that slot machines are like people, each one is different and each has its idiosyncrasies.

Neil Armstrong, the modest engineer who became a national hero when he became the first man to walk on the moon, has died at age 82.
Armstrong, who always considered himself a regular guy and tried to stay out of the spotlight, became forever etched into American history when, as the Commander of Apollo 11, he stepped onto the moon on July 20, 1969, and said simply, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
An estimated 600 million people watched or listened to the first lunar landing, the largest audience for any event in history.
Where were you when Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the moon, and what do you remember most about the moment?

BOISE – A Nevada pilot has died after his small plane struck a transmission line in the Owyhee Canyon Sunday morning. The crash happened near the Idaho-Oregon border.
Sgt. Rich Harriman with the Malheur County Sheriff's Office says the crash victim is 52-year-old Edward Wilson Claugus from Incline Village, Nevada.
Claugus was flying a 300LT fixed-wing, single-engine aircraft about two miles below Owyhee Dam when it appears the plane's prop struck the transmission line, causing it to crash. Claugus was the only person on board.
Harriman says according to family members, Claugus was an experienced pilot and had owned this latest plane for about a year. He was in the area recreating and had taken off from the Ontario Airport prior to the crash.
The FAA was on scene Monday investigating.

You make a great point, Spongebob. We can be sure that the candidates aren't out there planting all those signs themselves. Still, the rules for locating signs ought to be obeyed and it does not reflect well on the candidate when boundaries are blatantly overstepped. I consider those huge improperly-placed signs to be offensive (sometimes dangerous) and while that is certainly not a major criteria that influences my vote, it is something to consider. It feels like the candidate needs to shout at us to compensate for his/her lack of actual substance. Further, (in this voter's opinion) the huge "loud" signs tend to reflect poorly on the smaller ones that are planted around them as well. Guilt by association.

May 23rd, Mr Moogs 78th birthday......and one of the best known Moog utilisers, Gary Numan playing Glasgow tonight.
Robert Moog developed his ideas for an electronic instrument by starting out in 1961 building and selling Theremin kits and absorbing ideas about transistorised modular synthesisers from the German designer Harald Bode.
After publishing an article for the January 1961 issue of the magazine 'Electronics World', Moog sold around a 1000 Theremin kits from 1961 to 63 out of a three room apartment. Eventually he decided to begin producing instruments of his own design. After toying with the idea of a portable guitar amplifier, Moog turned to the synthesiser.
Whilst attending a convention in the winter of '63, Moog was introduced to the idea of building new circuits that would be capable of producing sound. In September 1964 he was invited to exhibit his circuits at the Audio Engineering Society Convention. Shortly afterwards in 1964 Moog begin to manufacture electronic music synthesisers. Moog's synthesisers were designed in collaboration with the composers Herbert A. Deutsch, and Walter (later Wendy) Carlos. Wendy Carlos
After the success of Carlos's album "Switched on Bach", entirely recorded using Moog synthesisers, Moog's instruments made the first leap from the electronic avant garde, into commercial popular music. The Beatles bought one, as did Mick Jagger who bought a hugely expensive modular Moog in 1967 (unfortunately this instruments was only used once, as a prop on a film set and was later sold to the German experimentalist rockers, Tangerine Dream).
Though setting a future standard for analogue synthesiser, the Moog Synthesiser Company did not survive the decade, larger companies such as Arp and Roland developed Moog's protoypes into more sophisticated and cost effective instruments. Robert Moog has returned to his roots and currently runs 'Big Briar' a company specialising in transistorised version of the Theremin Moog Production Models

The Huskers (8-3) are sure to have their hands full versus a Badgers team holding opponents to 44.7 points per game and 33.5 percent from the field - both marks are best in the nation.
Nebraska, which went 7-9 in its final season of Big 12 play in 2010-11, could be shorthanded. It's unknown if center Jorge Brian Diaz (foot) and junior college transfer Dylan Talley (thigh bruise) will be available after each missed the last two contests.
The Huskers are facing a Top 25 opponent for the first time this season
Wisconsin should win by at least 12

Tonawanda News — Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein on Monday encouraged residents to prepare for the upcoming flu by getting early vaccinations — a practice she said was the single best way for protection against the disease.
"While the summer season is just drawing to a close, it is important to remember that colder weather and the flu season are on the way, and the time to act to protect ourselves is now," she said. "Flu viruses are constantly changing, and it is not unusual for new viruses to appear each year. Vaccines are formulated to keep up with these changes from year to year, so even if someone was vaccinated last season, they should be sure to get another vaccination this season."
Burstein said two types of vaccines are available, including the traditional flu inoculations as well as the nasal spray flu vaccine, available depending on one's age. The flu shot is given with a needle, usually in the arm, she added, and is approved for use in individuals older than six months that encompasses healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions.
She noted that influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death with the potential for the condition to spread as early as October and as late as May.
When more people are vaccinated, less flu will spread through a community, Burstein noted.
"Everyone who is at least six months of age should get a flu vaccination this season, and it is especially important for certain people to get vaccinated, including pregnant women, people age 65 and over, young children, especially those 2 years and younger," she said. "There is no reason to wait to protect ourselves and our families, and if more people act now there will be less flu circulating in our community in the coming months."

Winner: Best New Business
What does it mean to you to win Best of Knoxville?
It shows that we are still appreciated on a local level after striving for international recognition. I've got 42 years of experience in this business. I feel like the public recognizes our focus and the goals we have been trying to attain.
How did you make Frank's Barbershop a success so quickly?
Well the timing of our brand was received with open arms by the Knoxville community. Also our major city concepts were new to the area, and we already had brand recognition and a strong, trusting client base from Salon Visage.
How do you balance the feeling of a modern business with old-style techniques?
Well old-school barbering is the second oldest profession (we all know what the first one is), and the barber pole is the most recognized symbol internationally. I feel like the average guy is still a caveman at heart and knows that going to the barber is more like a ritual. It's also very psychological. I know few men that don't have an early childhood memory of their father or grandfather taking them to the town barber. At Frank's you feel like one of the boys again. It hits you on an emotional level and creates a lasting memory. Also, the cool Joe, who is stylish and trendy might go to a salon. At Frank's the regular Joe can come in with no anxieties about a salon experience, and still receive a great haircut and more. Basically, with pool tables and ESPN, we are an old-style barber shop that will over-deliver on the quality of your usual haircut in a much more comfortable atmosphere.
What inspiration did you have for creating the shop's relaxing atmosphere?
I can't take any credit. I mimicked where I worked growing up. It was a place called J. Vito's Continental Barber Shop in West New York, New Jersey. I was a shoe shine boy at age 11 and eventually learned the ropes and worked there cutting hair.
What kind of services does Frank's offer men?
You don't just get a clean cut haircut at Frank's. We clean you up from the neck up, including ears, nose, and eye brows. We also offer straight razor shaves, and men's waxing. That's kind of where the old meets the new.
Why do you think Knoxvillians voted it best new business?
I think because we are so family oriented, it's affordable, and our services and atmosphere are higher in value than the price you pay.
I've heard Frank's also won a national award.
Yeah, we won a national award and I didn't even know we were in the running at first. I got a text from a friend in Seattle saying congratulations on being a finalist. I replied, "A finalist in what?" Apparently we were one of four finalists, with the other cities being Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and San Francisco. It was a New York Times-based company [About.com] presenting the national award, picking the winner based on a couple of percentage-based categories. When I heard Internet voting was involved, I really didn't think we had a chance based on the sizes of the other cities. Then, one of the companies (I think in San Francisco) was quoted saying how embarrassing it would be to lose to a hillbilly town in Tennessee. After that, the Internet voting in Knoxville became viral. I couldn't believe the support that Knoxville gave us, but we ended up winning America's Best Barber Shop. I guess when you have a great city of people behind you, and you strive to be the best in the world, you can at least be best in the country.

Greenshine New Energy LLC (Greenshine) is delighted to announce that it is one of the principal international companies selected to take part in the pilot program to provide solar street lights in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Irvine, California (PRWEB) July 07, 2014
Greenshine New Energy LLC (Greenshine) is delighted to announce that it is one of the principal international companies selected to take part in the pilot program to provide solar street lights in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Fifty-six lights have been manufactured with a unique design. Kevin Laurent from Greenshine New Energy said, Taking into account the regional climate, we knew we had to move away from our standard lighting design. Two systems were selected for the testing evaluation: one standard system with a single pole and a second system consisting of two poles installed on the same concrete base. For the latter system, two fixtures were installed on the two poles at different heights. The final lights selected have a much taller pole and two supporting poles, in addition to an even brighter LED fixture which complies with their street lighting requirements. The solar panels have also been protected using an advanced self-cleaning nano coating. This will protect and enhance the operational life of the solar panels, while simultaneously reducing the maintenance cost. In addition, the solar lights have been fitted with a green transparent plate to give them a more unique finish.
The company has been working intensively with experts in the region to design lights that are not only economically sustainable, but also meet local needs and tastes. Working with the Saudis has been a great opportunity for us. We will be continuing our efforts in the region, and look forward to bringing more sustainable environmental solutions globally, stated Laurent.
About Greenshine New Energy
Greenshine New Energy LLC (Greenshine) specializes in developing and manufacturing, customized solar powered lighting systems for a wide range of lighting applications. They are experts in solar powered street lights, parking lot and park lights, for locations with severe weather conditions.

It was a party they didn't want to miss, and a deadline they knew they had to make: Aug. 15, on what would have been Julia Child's 100th birthday.
The very Smithsonian curators who had negotiated with the 89-year-old icon in her Cambridge, Mass., kitchen in 2001, catalogued the room's contents, packed them up and created one of the National Museum of American History's most beloved exhibits, only to disassemble it a decade later for the sake of infrastructure improvement, are reopening the kitchen at its new site, where the museum's Hall of Agriculture used to be.
And they've got some surprise fun of their own planned for the public at 1 p.m. on the big day. Butter and music will be involved.
"We just had to make the 100th," says Rayna Green, one of the original team motivated to aim big 11 years ago. Museumgoers "have been begging us since the exhibit closed in early January," she says.
Those who have committed to memory the peg boards and lorgnette and tableware-filled firkins through repeated visits or online via www.americanhistory.si.edu/kitchen will be pleased to press their noses up against a set of windows whose blinds were previously drawn. Keen eyes can now decipher Child's handwritten label on the coffeemaker and assess the physics of a countertop stone-crab claw cracker that looks like it belongs beside an architect's drawing board.
The setting is ultra-real yet reverential. In this ordinary space, an extraordinary woman changed the way Americans ate. Three of her cooking shows were televised in it, amid the utensils, objects and art that made her happy. Where's the appeal in a soulless, sleek cooking environment with everything tucked out of sight? This exhibit makes you wonder, and the curators say it prompts strangers to share stories with one another as they explore.

I'm talking about the originals, not the remakes. Which do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Halloween.
Halloween, or Nightmare on Elm Street?
Halloween, or Nightmare on Elm Street?
Have to give the slight edgeDirtyHorror_ on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 - 3:32pm
Have to give the slight edge to Halloween, but both of these movies had a huge impact on me when I first saw them. Unfortunately, the both have quite a few subpar sequels and two bad remakes, but that doesn't make me lose respect or love for the originals. Halloween still creeps me out when I watch it......
I like both but preferscareviewzombies on Monday, September 3, 2012 - 3:48am

Halloween for sure!!!!! Thas a no brainer, HAHA!
Subjectdoe333 on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - 3:40am
I love both of the original franchises, but Nightmare is my favorite. It gave the audience a little something extra to think about while still being quite scary (the first few at least). Depending on my mood, I might rather watch Halloween, but overall Elm Street wins IMO.
Kudos to both, but somethingundescriptyell on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - 8:59pm
Kudos to both, but something about a silent killer makes you always wanting more. Im going with Halloween!
Both films have their perksVincentBateman on Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 12:36pm
Both films have their perks within the horror genre and have premises that are completely different. However one thing these films have in common is that both were made over 30 years ago. I have to say that there is only one film that has some sentiment to me and that is Halloween. There was nothing like being 10 years old and turning on the television on Halloween and seeing really the only horror movie that is good and scary for T.V. editing and that was Halloween. Halloween did not need gallons upon gallons of blood to be what it is today. It's too bad the reboot of the franchise is so terrible.
You know it's a toss up, butS_W_K on Sunday, September 16, 2012 - 5:03pm
You know it's a toss up, but Halloween wins out with me. The series just had more consistently better films. However, Nightmare 1 & 3 are very hard to top.

I hope your birthday was great. I didn't check in to FSU for a few days because I was celebrating my own birthday. We Virgos are tough birds, and very practical, so I am sure you took advantage of every minute with your family and that cute pup. Sending you tons of good wishes.


text: Hi, My California Audio DX2 CD player may have a transport problem. When you close the drawer it does not start playing. I tapped it a little the first time and it did start, but is has gotten worse. It also is sounding raspy in the high end on the right side. Tonight I will look into the speaker issue, SADc1's w/rebuilt crossovers. I'm told it could cost $250.00 to $500.00, plus shipping, to repair. I paid $600 about 10 years ago. I would like to get your opinion on repair vs. replace. If I need to replace, what Brand, Model, specs should I be looking at? I would like to keep at around the same price, give or take. Thanks!

Sat May 8,2010
This morning I woke up with one thing on my mind. Pancakes!
Unfortunately, Chris woke up with waffles on the mind.
What to do, what to do?
How about have the best of both worlds and make panwaffles?We purchased this awesome pan from Williams Sonoma a few years ago that makes pancakes that have the same crevices as waffles.
This morning I used Hodgson Mill's Whole Wheat Buttermilk pancake mix. I was not really in the mood to make pancakes from scratch this morning. It's so easy to just add milk, oil, and an egg! In case you're wondering, I use a wooden skewer to flip the panwaffles. Like so.
The first batch came out much lighter than the second batch. I prefer my panwaffles well done!
Good thing Chris doesn't really have a preference as I took most of the brown & crispy ones.
And then I made a tower of panwaffles!With alternating layers of strawberries & peanut butter, and banana slices & peanut butter. And topped off with a sprinkle of shredded coconut.Mmmmmmmmmmmmm….. Was all I could say after every bite.
You should really invest in a panwaffle pan. It's worth it, I promise.
Can anyone tell which strawberries are from a local farm and which were shipped in from California and purchased at the grocery store? I mean, it's pretty easy to tell the difference. Not to mention how different the taste is! I love me some fresh, organic, local strawberries
Last night Chris and I met our friends Kate & Roger for sushi at Sushi Love.
We began with edamame. And wine. And then I was enjoying chit chatting with our friends so much that I completely forgot to take a photo of the sushi!
But that's ok because I've been to and blogged about sushi love several times before.
And now I'm off to swim a few laps before the pool gets too crowded with sunbathers. I will probably be one of them in a few hours :)
Lastly, I want to congratulate our good friends Ashley & Matt who had their baby, Emily Jane, earlier this morning! We're so happy for them!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Your photos of the panwaffles are so professional looking!! Did you get a new cammie without telling me??!!
I love my panwaffle pan! I should break that out again!
Oh. My. Gosh. Your panwaffles just put my Saturday brunch to shame. Which was coffee and toast.
I just found your blog and something tells me I'll be returning often. Probably when hungry.
I think I have died and gone to heaven just by looking at these pictures. I want to frame them. AMAZING!
Panwaffles look great! I have never had them before, yum!
That pan IS brilliant! I think I know what I'm asking for from my parents as a graduation present…
This is such a cool idea! I love pancakes and waffles, combined must be amazing! Love the pictures
Those panwaffles look AMAZING! And I do love that mix :) So good, and so easy.
Congrats to your friends!
Nothing tastes better than real strawberries. Red all the way through. People at the grocery store give me strange looks because I don't buy the strawberries unless they smell sweet. Guess we
will have to invest in a panwaffle. That stack
sure looked good. We had our usual waffles this morning. I'm out with the ladies again this evening, going to have eggpland rollatini.
I never knew such a pancake.waffle maker existed!
And thanks to your pictures of the tower of panwaffles, I don't need to wonder what heaven looks like anymore because there it is.
What a great pan! Those look like such fun to make and to eat! I am really looking forward to the really sweet strawberries we get in the summer. Ours aren't quite there yet, but summer is on its way!
I have always wanted to try panwaffles! How much did that pan cost you?
PANWAFFLES! How amazing… I can't believe I have never heard of this before. Must investigate.
Ooh…it all looks so yummy:)
Those. waffles. look. soooooo delicious.
I now honestly have the biggest craving for fresh, home-made waffles with lots of peanut butter and fresh strawberries :)
Luckily, i'll be home in just a few days so I may actually be able to make this dream come true ;) hahaha
Wow, panwaffles! I never knew they existed, so cute!
Love that big stack! Fun breakfast!
I'm not sure what I luv more: the pan or your creative tower!! Also, you've given me a great idea for a father's day gift. My dad would enjoy the panwaffle pan. Thanks, Laurie
That looks like the greatest breakfast of champions!
LOVE your tower of panckaes. Yum! I think I might just have to make this for breakfast tomorrow :-)

Under the Dome episode 2 review: The Fire
CBS' summer Stephen King adaptation keeps the action and the entertainment coming in its eventful second instalment…
This review contains spoilers.
1.2 The Fire
I needn't have worried that Under the Dome had played its 'cool stuff' card too early, as episode two had action and entertainment value up the wazoo. There were explosions, daring rescues, punch-ups, and the rare but exhilarating opportunity to see a man fight fire using a mechanical excavator (water's just too sissy for Big Jim Rennie).
Kudos to the series too, for deftly avoiding the tedious traps other such mystery shows fall into by not dragging its feet with minor revelations. In a lesser show, the question mark as to what went down between Barbie and Julia's husband would have been left dangling, but not in Under the Dome. We saw what happened in the opening minutes and motored the hell on.
This is the chief benefit of the miniseries having a finite end-point; with just thirteen episodes, there's no need to delay gratification or spin out mysteries for a potential second season. So far, it's given the series pace and momentum. If only a few more dramas would aim so low in terms of longevity.
Episode two left good-hearted cop Linda cradling another colleague's limp body (do you think she'll get one a week?) as the credits rolled and the dome over Chester's Mill slowly filled with smoke.
Or did it? As resourceful young Joe discovered, the "magic bubble thing" isn't entirely impermeable. Rather, it functions as a kind of sieve, allowing small amounts of water, and presumably oxygen to filter through. Don't worry, people of Chester's Mill, it's a breathable scary-ass unexplained magic barrier, made of like, space Goretex. That implies whom/whatever created it wasn't aiming to suffocate you all in your beds like the large-scale equivalent of upturning a pint glass on a wasp to watch it twitch its last. You're probably not all going to die.
Try telling that to Linda's paranoid, panicking colleague, who spoilt the warm fuzziness of Big Jim's speech about working together by accidentally murdering her fiancé's brother. (One for the 'stuff that gets through the dome' tally: water droplets yes, bullets, tennis balls, and everything else, not so much.) The death of Rusty's brother was another sign that Under the Dome isn't messing around. A young woman separated from her fiancé but holed up with his brother would be a recipe for love triangle tedium in a different show, but thankfully, not here.
Duke's death last week created a power vacuum in Chester's Mill, and Big Jim fancies himself the man to fill it. Luckily for him, so does the rest of the town, seeing him as more of a Santa Claus saviour than the crooked, ass-covering councilman we know him to be. Dean Norris is a solid fit for the role of Jim, and easily handles the required range from affable and generous to cold-hearted pragmatist. So far, Big Jim Rennie is Under the Dome's counterpart to The Walking Dead's season three Governor, a man driven to protect his town and people, but one with a nasty edge, and a great deal to hide.
That nastiness was revealed courtesy of new introduction, Reverend Coggins, so corrupt and hypocritical a man of the cloth he could have sprung from the pages of Chaucer. His and Jim's scenes, with their freezer full of corpses, introduce a good drop of poison to Under the Dome that counters the 'ain't small towns great' message in that water-bucket scene. Ned Bellamy can do grimy skeeviness in his sleep, so good call from the casting team on that count.
Still beautiful, dumb, and mad as a box of dome-sliced frogs is Big Jim's son Junior, the show's weakest link so far. Yes, his character introduces an element of unpredictability to Under the Dome, but it's the kind of unpredictability provided by a balloon you've lost the grip on midway through blowing up: faintly silly and accompanied by a rumble of squeaky fart sounds. Gullible and impetuous, it's hard to see Junior as a bonafide villain, no matter how many women he chains up in his dad's fallout shelter.
That said, he is useful as a punching bag, as Dale found out at that cabin. Barbie vs. Junior hardly sounds like the fight of the century, but the two gave it a good go-around until the former showed mercy on his upstart attacker. Between that, wrestling not one but two guns from desperate men, and rallying the neighbourhood to put out that fire this week, Barbie is proving quite the hero of Chester's Mill.
A few others are emerging as ones-to-root-for too, with endearing high school student Joe and Electronics Engineering radio whiz Dodee (played by Donnie Darko's Cherita Chen, Jolene Purdy) representing for the nerd crowd. Joe and his stoner pal have a touch of the Famous Five about them, setting off to solve the mysteries adults are unable to. Now, they've even adopted a dog, albeit one whose owner met a not-very-Enid Blyton-ish end.
On the whole, Under the Dome may have sacrificed atmosphere for action, and depth for excitement, but the glimpses of that silent military corps working away in the background are still a pleasingly chilling reminder that this is no ordinary procedural. Consistently entertaining and capable of the odd surprise, I'll happily spend this summer in Chester's Mill.

Umh.. it's Chester's Mill, silly.
Fixed! Ta.
Joe is probably my favourite character, at first for no other reason than he is played by the same actor who did a brilliant Young Sam Winchester in multiple episodes of Supernatural. Thankfully he remains one of the smartest people in the whole town, and a practical answer to all those times millions of kids over the years have asked why they need to learn Trigonometry. By far the weakest characters for me are the yuppie lesbian couple and their too cliche for words daughter. Which is why I groaned when I saw the cow eyes Joe was giving her. She's not even that pretty! And when is he going to notice that his sister has gone missing?
My biggest complaint from the pilot is still bugging the hell out of me, which is the "ooh look isn't this scary" horror music continually playing over not very scary things on screen. Its like someone heard it was a Stephen King story and paid for a load of horror music to be written, without actually reading or watching the story, and now they are using it because they have already paid for it.
This color beige has more gradients than this production. Awful. Just awful.
I thought CBS said they could see this running for several years though as 13 episode seasons in the summer. Though I do applaud their getting right to the point with the story and characters.
Thora Birch and Squidward had a daughter...
Yeah, I thought I heard they had plans at least for a second season, too... If it's an overall ratings winner, you can be sure they'll be quite happy to spin it out...
Did anyone else think that the water seeping through might just be condensation? You ever touch a cold window from the inside? Just because it's wet doesn't mean the glass is permeable.

[This paper responds to "Monetary and Exchange Rate Policies for International Financial Stability: A Proposal," by Ronald I. McKinnon, in this same issue.] While McKinnon's criticisms of the regime of floating exchange rates are almost entirely justified, I argue that both his analysis and his diagnosis are flawed. His analysis presupposes a very special set of parameters which result in changes in the budget deficit leading to equal changes in the trade balance while leaving output unchanged. In fact, achieving this result requires also changes in relative prices, which are best induced by changes in exchange rates. This points to one of the four important social functions of exchange rate flexibility that are denied or ignored by McKinnon and that would be forfeited under his proposal. In contrast, target zones offer escape from the major costs of floating while retaining the important advantages that flexible rates offer.

NSA Spying Revelations Will Hurt Americans' Faith in Government
IRS, NSA revelations will undermine public trust in government.
Another day, another round of revelations about government snooping. And the upshot will likely be a decline in public trust that Washington is willing or able to do the right thing in the future.
Today's most important disclosure comes in The Washington Post, which reports that the National Security Agency and the FBI "are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, emails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets."
The companies include AOL, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and YouTube. The goal, government officials say, is to keep Americans safe by tracking down terrorists. But spokesmen for several of these companies say they don't know of such a sweeping program.
Yet the fallout from the snooping and the sheer extent of the reported surveillance is likely to increase the public's belief that something is very wrong in Washington. Before the current revelations became public, only 28 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the federal government, down from 33 percent a year earlier, according to a recent Pew Research poll.
[READ: Repairing a Shaky Trust]
This seems likely to get worse, and it could put a serious crimp in President Obama's agenda, which is based on a strong role for the federal government.
At a Democratic fundraiser in Portola Valley, Calif., Thursday night, Obama said government should have a vital role in many areas of national life. "It's an argument that government has a critical role to play in funding science and research, in creating the infrastructure, not only the old infrastructure of roads and bridges and ports, but a new infrastructure of smart grids and broadband," Obama said.
"Government has a role in educating our kids, to make sure that they've got the skills they need to compete. Government has a role in creating a regulatory structure that ensures that we're encouraging the development of clean energy, and that we're protecting intellectual property."
But after the current revelations, tea party and other conservative activists, along with libertarians, will likely be more motivated to turn out in the 2014 elections in order to register their disapproval for what they consider Big Brother-style government and Washington running amok. Civil libertarians such as the ACLU will be animated on the left.
[BROWSE: Editorial Cartoons on the IRS Scandal]
One of the most vocal critics has been Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican with a libertarian streak. "I'm appalled," Paul told Yahoo News. He said he wants the government to "go after terrorists" and other criminals, but he says the NSC and other surveillance programs go too far, affect millions of law-abiding citizens, violate the Bill of Rights, and amount to "a great invasion of our privacy."
Wisconsin Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner, who has been active on national security issues for many years, said the secret collection of communication records from millions of citizens is "excessive and un-American," and was "never the intent" of the law.
Other congressional critics of the snooping include Colorado Sen. Mark Udall and Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, both Democrats.
Some legislators, such as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., defend the government actions. Graham says he doesn't mind the government getting access to his phone and email records as long as it's being done to track down terrorists.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said the NSA effort has helped to stop at least one terrorist attack in the United States over the past few years, but he did not elaborate.
[READ: Verizon Ordered to Provide NSA With Millions of Phone Records]
The latest disclosure comes after a string of embarrassments for government agencies in recent weeks. The Internal Revenue Service is under congressional investigation for targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, and for wasting millions of taxpayer dollars by staging an expensive conference for staff members.
The Justice Department is in hot water for seizing phone records from the Associated Press in a probe of national-security leaks, and for monitoring the communications of Fox News reporter James Rosen in a separate probe of leaks. The government is also being scrutinized for collecting phone records from Verizon customers.

The Meadows Foundation
The Meadows Foundation is a private philanthropic institution established in 1948 by Algur H. and Virginia Meadows to benefit the people of Texas. The Foundation's mission is to assist the people and institutions of Texas in improving the quality and circumstances of life for themselves and future generations.
Algur Meadows built General American Oil Company of Texas into one of the nation's most successful independent oil and gas production companies. Believing that his own life was greatly enriched by giving, Meadows generously shared his wealth with many charitable causes benefiting the people of the state that had been so kind to him. Wishing to share the joy of giving with their extended family, both living and yet unborn, Algur and Virginia Meadows established The Meadows Foundation so that their philanthropy would continue in perpetuity, under the guidance and direction of family members and trusted advisors.
Since its inception, the Foundation's assets have grown to a current value in excess of $650 million, and it has dispersed over $450 million in grants and direct charitable expenditures to more than 2,400 Texas institutions and agencies. Foundation grants support work in the fields of arts and culture, civic and public affairs, education, health and human services. The Foundation also has a particular philanthropic interest in three areas: public education (particularly in the areas of early child development, enhanced reading skills and teacher preparation), mental health and the environment. It also seeks to develop a philanthropic spirit among high school and middle school students and has awarded in excess of $2 million to over 200 schools in North Texas whose students planned and carried out community service programs.
The Foundation looks for programs and services that employ imaginative, innovative ways to solve community problems through projects leading to organizational self-sufficiency, and for capital plans that enable agencies to flourish. It seeks to support projects that can alleviate pain, enhance social skills and promote better human relations.
Among its philanthropic initiatives, the Foundation has established the Wilson Historic District near downtown Dallas. Here, more than 27 nonprofit agencies are provided rent-free office space, as well as management and technical assistance, in elegantly restored turn-of-the-century homes and buildings and new structures. Considered a benchmark for historic preservation and a model project in which to house nonprofit agencies, The Wilson Block, within the 22-acre Wilson Historic District, has earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Meadows Foundation is among the most recognized private philanthropies in the country. It has received numerous awards for both its philanthropy and its management. It was the first recipient of the Texas Medal of the Arts for sustained support of arts and culture in Texas, and was named Outstanding Foundation of the Year by the National Society of Fund Raising Executives. For additional information, visit The Meadows Foundation Web site at http://www.mfi.org.

In conversation with The Buffalo News, super-chef Lidia Bastianich mentioned she liked classical music.
What classical music? Buzz, nerd that we are, had to ask.
Lidia had answers!
"I go regularly to the Met," she told Buzz. "My favorite conductor is Valery Gergiev. I met him. We're somewhat friends now. I followed him to the White Nights festival in St. Petersburg. They have a festival of classical music. It's magnificent. That got me into the Russian music. 'War and Peace.' 'Prince Igor.' "
Those are some impressive Russian operas! "War and Peace" is by Serge Prokofiev. "Prince Igor" is by Alexander Borodin.
In this gorgeous video you may watch Lidia's friend Maestro Gergiev in action.
Wow. Sort of makes you hungry, doesn't it? We can see where Lidia gets her inspiration.
If music be the food of love, cook on!

Tonic Punches
Viewer Comments
thank you for sharing & showing us how to create beautiful cards...i am going to add these punches to my xmas list.
Love these punches and all the new ideas!! Please tell me the trick to printing the free downloads, that come with the different paper packs. Just printed the new Home Grown download, and it cames out goofy....as do some of the other's I've tried.
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Possibly try adjusting your printer settings. If youâre using an HP printer and software, there should be a box in your printer settings page that says, âfit to pageâ. If youâre using different printers and software there should be a similar option. I hope this helps! Good luck!
Love your cards Gail!! Don't have any Tonic punches...yet, lol! Need to to put these on my Christmas list.
I have so many punches, but think I am going to have to get a few of these. Gail, your projects are awesome. You have made a great replacement for Ann.
Keep up the excellent job.
What an inspiring webisode. Love Tonic anything, but their punches are excellent. And Gail, love your work and your color combos are wonderful. TFS.
WOW! I love the Tonic punches, too, and am really excited about these new ones! Gayle, your color combinations are simply inspiring, and I'm so grateful that you've joined the team! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hard-charging is an understatement.
The light weight and ultimate response of the Thirty Two Prime snowboard boot have made it a legend in its own time. As Thirty Two's stiffest boot, it's tailor made for riders who thrive on exposed lines, gigantic airs, and critical moves. It runs on Thirty Two's top-of-the-line Level 3 liner. That means it's heat moldable, it uses dual density foam for a perfect fit, and there's a molded footbed that cradles your foot. The STI foam outsole saves tons of weight over an old school rubber sole, and it's proven to be durable for hiking, sledding, skinning, and anything else you can put the Prime through. A heel hold kit is included to make sure your feet stay put when you've got to nail that life-or-death turn. Exposed System G2 Gel in the heel damps chatter on mach-loony crusty run-outs. If your whole season revolves around finding and sending insane lines, this is your boot.

Just not stiff enough

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
My K2 T1's fell apart in just a few months so I replaced them with the Primes. They were super comfy and looked really cool, but they werent stiff enough. more like a 7 than a 10. Went ahead and exchanged them for the K2 Thraxis and I couldnt be more pleased. If you want stiff and super adjustable and comfy, get the Thraxis. I'm 5'9 220. I ride 70 days a year.

Tuesday's 60-second rant: Injuries could dull 2012's best one-two prime-time punch
What appeared to be great NFL drama in Week 11 took a potentially big hit with three significant QB injuries.
Bears sign QB McCown
The Bears brought back QB Josh McCown on Tuesday and waived TE Brody Eldridge.
Briggs unloaded on the Packers a day after teammate Brandon Marshall did the same thing, saying he's no fan of Green Bay and that Jermichael Finley is "an idiot."||||||| Marshall went off on Wednesday, saying he's never disliked a team as much as the Packers. Briggs backed that up a day later, saying his feelings are "very similar." He really took issue with Finley for telling FOXSportsWisconsin.com the Bears might be better off with linebacker Brian Urlacher sidelined by a hamstring injury. The Packers tight end was quoted as saying Chicago is not "losing too much if he's out." Briggs responded, "He's an idiot."
Briggs and Charles Tillman returned interceptions for touchdowns - their second in six days - and the Bears used stifling defense to overwhelm the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-3 Sunday.||||||| Briggs and Tillman became the first teammates in NFL history to return interceptions for touchdowns in consecutive weeks.
Briggs returned an INT 74 yards for a score in Monday's 34-18 win over Dallas.||||||| It was Briggs' first interception return for a TD since 2005.
The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract extension with Lance Briggs, keeping the Pro Bowl linebacker through the 2014 season. The Bears announced the deal on Wednesday. Financial terms were not immediately released.||||||| Briggs pushed hard for a new contract at the start of last season, but the Bears wouldn't budge. With three years left on a six-year, $36 million contract, general manager Jerry Angelo basically told Briggs at the time to leave him alone when the linebacker asked for permission to seek a trade if he couldn't get a renegotiated deal before the season. Angelo was fired after an 8-8 finish and he has been replaced by Phil Emery.
Briggs says a gap between players and management is affecting team morale. Briggs tells Comcast SportsNet Chicago "there's a big transition going on right now in Chicago" and that "players and the management are not seeing eye-to-eye on a lot of different issues and a lot of different players' situations." He made the comments Tuesday for a show that airs Thursday night.||||||| Briggs pushed hard for a new contract before the season. Running back Matt Forte wants a new deal, and safety Chris Harris requested a trade before Tuesday's deadline after being held out of last week's game against Minnesota. Briggs says the issues take "away from wanting to go out on the field and just play."

Knoxville — The agenda is full for Monday's regular Knoxville School Board meeting, and it will include a proposal to transfer Middle School Vice Principal Linda Abbott to the Principal position at West Elementary.
As has been reported, Mike Montgomery will retire at the end of the school year from his position as Principal at West. Abbott's first job with the Knoxville School District was as Principal at Northstar Elementary. She was transferred the the Middle School job when the district closed East Elementary. Recommendations have been prepared for the board to consider, when filling vacancies created this year. At least 27 district employees are retiring at the end of the school year.
The board is also expected to receive the initial proposal for a new contract from the Knoxville Education Association, the teachers' union. A closed session is scheduled following Monday's regular meeting in which the board will discuss its negotiations strategy.
A request has been made for assistant coaches in varsity soccer. Girls' Coach Charlie Fisher and Boys' Coach Dylan Mick will be in attendance. Staff is recommending the board deny the request because of success without assistant coaches. Staff also believes that there are not enough participants to warrant assistant coaches and budgets have already been established.
The full board agenda, and information regarding each item, accompanies this article. Look for a report following the meeting next week.

Re: Air support is deadsven20 Jun 26, 2012 1:29 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
Its hardly dead. My UAV's and Attack Choppers do just fine most of the time.
Re: Air support is deadMoabmauler Jun 26, 2012 2:20 PM (in response to sven20)
Attack choppers are a joke. I feel like I'm lucky if I manage to two kills with the thing before it gets shot down.
Re: Air support is deadEsy Jun 26, 2012 1:30 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
Solution: use specialist or non air streaks. There are plenty. Precision air strike, assault drone, stealth bomber, emp, stuff like that.
No points for shooting down air makes LMGs more obsolete.
Re: Air support is deadIrishGorilla31 Jun 26, 2012 1:34 PM (in response to Esy)
It depends. Some games, air support gets shot down instantly. Other games, air support is a key factor in the win or loss.
Re: Air support is deadMoabmauler Jun 26, 2012 2:22 PM (in response to Esy)
Assualt drone gets locked on to by the stinger.
Re: Air support is deadEsy Jun 26, 2012 3:13 PM (in response to Moabmauler)
Uhhh if you let someone lok on with a stinger then you shouldn't be using an assault drone.
Re: Air support is deadJSlayer211 Jun 26, 2012 1:39 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
I like the added incentive of a streak pt to shooting down aerial killstreaks. Without it, I think you would see a bunch of people with blind eye on, letting their teams get shot to swiss cheese b/c they are unaffected by them. It's a proper reward for supporting your team.
Re: Air support is deadthat6uy420 Jun 26, 2012 1:43 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
wonder why that didn't happen in a match earlier today where I had my attack chopper and ah-6 3 times in one life. It's pretty simple though... if they get shot down instantly.. switch to a different class that has a different KS set up.
Re: Air support is deadScrewyounoob Jun 26, 2012 2:02 PM (in response to that6uy420)
Like someone said all the blindeye guys who used to just blanc air support have now joined the point hungry take down squads lol
I feel that people should be shooting it down to actually help the team not just to get a cheap point.
I have done it myself lol shoot down helicopters as there entering the map take out ah6's as there just lowering into postion lol
Just because it's an easy point.

At the moment anything above a predator is shot down instantly because of the point incentive.
Haha, really? Is that why you think people shoot down the air support? How about the fact that i dont wanna get killed by it? Im not prestiging anymore, so i dont care about XP at all, and i shoot down air support all the time just to help out my team and because its just fun to do.
On another note, when i earn an air support killstreak reward im only looking for it to get me 1 kill, and im happy.
Re: Air support is deadJSlayer211 Jun 26, 2012 2:18 PM (in response to iGotBombKush)
I love shooting a chopper down before it even makes it onto the map b/c I know there is some guy on the other team that worked really hard to get it going FUUUUUUU!!!!! Makes my day.
Re: Air support is deadMoabmauler Jun 26, 2012 2:24 PM (in response to iGotBombKush)
Air support got shot down in mw2 just like in they do in mw3 and there was no point incentive in mw2. They should give out some kind of nerf to the stinger, like longer lock ons or giving streaks more flares.
Re: Air support is deadiGotBombKush Jun 26, 2012 2:47 PM (in response to Moabmauler)
@JSlayer211 - I know what you mean man, haha. I love shooting down the Osprey gunner or escort airdrop before they drop the crates. I can only imagine the look on the dudes face who called it in.
@Maobmauler - Nah man, there shouldnt be any nerf to any launcher. The lock-ons already take a good couple seconds to lock on already. Plus, blind-eye pro makes the lock-on quicker anyways.
Re: Air support is deadTheEriccc Jun 26, 2012 2:17 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
Background: HC Dom, HC KC, HC S&D
I always have one class that has Blind Eye Pro + Stinger because, more than likely, nothing will get shot down if i don't do it myself. Quit crying about your streaks getting shot down. If, however, you want to complain to me about how unrealistic a recon drone dispensing IR chaff is, without ample distancing time, I will gladly listen.
Re: Air support is deadScrewyounoob Jun 26, 2012 2:39 PM (in response to TheEriccc)
Erric you say quit crying lol yet you will happily cry about a recon drone. Can't anybody ever say something about what they see as a problem without being called a cryer lol
I just won't be using anything higher than a pred now so I can easily move on. I just was making a point
Re: Air support is deadmachine2011 Jun 26, 2012 2:30 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
ive been shooting stuff down since cod4 well before you got points for it and i will continue to do so
Re: Air support is deadopb81 Jun 26, 2012 2:38 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
I have pretty good success with the attack helicopter and have no issues the way things are currently set up. If it gets shot down quick so be it and props to the other team for being smart for once. After all it is a relatively low kill streak and should be able to be taken out a little easier than say a 12 streak. The only thing that should change is the Pave Low should get 1 more flare to be equal to the AC130.
When I run solo I see more of the hey I have blind eye on so I am not going to shot down anything type of player so I get most of my stinger kills when I play solo. When I play with my clan it is more often a race to see who can shoot down airsupport the fastest
Re: Air support is deadcobain87 Jun 26, 2012 2:40 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
It's balanced the way it is. For a free point, it's surprising how many people still refuse to shoot down killstreaks. I shot down 4 attack choppers and 2 pave lows in one match because no one else on my team would do it.
From the other side, I'm always kind of in awe at how many free kills I rack up with a chopper. One shot is all it takes, but no one takes the time to take it down. They'd rather give me 5+ free kills than to take out their stinger for a few seconds. Crazy.
Re: Air support is deadScrewyounoob Jun 26, 2012 3:00 PM (in response to cobain87)
5 kills from the attack helicopter lol that would go straight to a pavelow. Maybe I'm just unlucky I play Dom and the most kills its ever got me is 3 mostly it's 1 kill or downed before it enters the map. Maybe I'm just unlucky but even pavelows only usually get 3 kills and that's a 12 ks lol
Re: Air support is deadcobain87 Jun 26, 2012 3:12 PM (in response to Screwyounoob)
Yeah man, it's not uncommon for me. Sure it gets shot down right off the bat sometimes, but most of the time it runs its complete course.
One thing to keep in mind is that I play core TDM and KC. You're playing against more objective players in games like domination. My killstreaks get shot down pretty quickly in objective-based game modes as well.

First floor
This area is dedicated to design, concepts, exotic and racing cars. We have, among others, a full-scale Miura Concept, built as a one-off car in 2006 to celebrate Miura's 40th anniversary, and the extreme Concept S, which was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005. Next to this are some older prototypes, such as two proposals by Gandini and Zagato for the Diablo's successor (internally code-named P 147).
On this floor one will find special versions of production cars, such as the very last Countach to be built in the 25th Anniversary Countach; also on display, some of the most significant Diablos, from the 1998 GT2 prototype to the latest Diablo 6.0 SE (2001), in its unique gold color.
Center stage on the same floor is dedicated to the astonishing Reventón (of which only 20 were built), a star among stars, with its particular edge-shaped body, similar to a jet fighter, in mid grey/green matt color.
And you will also find the world's fastest police car: the Gallardo of the Italian Polizia Stradale, equipped with high-tech devices, such as satellite navigation system with micro-telephone, the Provida system for registering violations and transmitting live images (thanks to a direct link to the Police data base), and the Elsag "car detector" (a vehicle registration recognition database system).
There is also an area dedicated to the marine engines, testimony of the power of the "Toro" (Bull) both in the road and in the water; they are proud winners of several World Championships.
Some samples of the F1 cars equipped by Lamborghini Engineering are lined up too: the first Lola-Larousse (1989) and the Minardi M. 191/L (1992), with a Lamborghini heart which was the last to be produced with the logo of the Raging Bull.
And the car attached to the far-side wall, now an Aventador, is always the hot spot for dramatic and memorable photos for you to keep!
Please note that the museum display may be changed without prior notice.

Developers of solar thermal power plants are scrapping plans to use steam technology in favor of ever-cheaper solar panels.
California utility Pacific Gas & Electric is working with OptiSolar and SunPower to add 800 megawatts of photovoltaic solar farms to the grid.
Thin-film solar power companies want to integrate solar cells with buildings, but they still have a way to go.
The Solar Roadway hopes to use the large, flat areas provided by roads to generate solar power, decreasing the reliance on fossil fuel energy.
Sure, solar power is clean and green, but to make it more efficient, researchers have had to use some nasty stuff. Until now.
CNET News correspondent Kara Tsuboi visits Qbotix in Menlo Park, Calif., as the company shows off a new robotic tracking system that pivots solar panels in the direction of the sun.
The patent envisions a lid with a secondary display, touch inputs, and solar cells to help charge your Mac.
Swedish flat-pack furniture company Ikea has launched solar panels in-store in Britain as a test market for a global launch.
Several teams of scientists, including IBM Research, have announced a collaboration to develop an affordable solar array capable of concentrating the captured energy by 2000.
