Savored at the Commodore Club on the Queen Mary II or in the hand of Fred Astaire in a toast to his newest venture, the simple, icy cold martini has long been considered the quintessential American cocktail. It is sleek and elegant and even the conical shape of the martini glass evokes sophistication.
Much has been written about the origin and history of the martini. Perhaps the most well documented is its first appearance at the old Knickerbocker Hotel in New York in 1910, the creation of its head bartender Martini di Arma de Taggia. Its first imbiber is reported to have been John D. Rockefeller. A British journalist, John Doxat, having made an exhaustive study of martini history, reports that the mix at that time was half gin and half dry vermouth.
The concoction became highly popular and other bartenders began to invent their own versions of the drink. Its evolution saw drier and drier combinations until today, the popular mix seems to be 5 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth. There are those, preferring the "driest" martinis, who are content to whisper the word "martini" across the glass. Winston Churchill used to simply bow in the direction of France when he made his martini. True aficionados, however, insist upon at least a modicum of dry vermouth.
In addition to Winston Churchill, many famous historical and fictional figures are associated with the martini—Ernest Hemingway, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Cary Grant, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Truman Capote and the list goes on. Clearly the most famous fictional character to prefer the martini is James Bond, whose martini was not a martini at all, but was made with vodka and "shaken, not stirred," in the movies, anyway, although not in Ian Fleming's books. Purists would call this a "vodkatini."
What is the proper way to make a martini? First of all, chill the martini glass and the mixing glass. Place ample ice cubes, never crushed ice, in the chilled mixing glass. Pour in 2 ½ oz. gin and ½ oz.dry vermouth. Stir at least 30 seconds. Strain into the martini glass and add a high quality green olive or a twist of lemon peel. This is by no means the definitive classic martini. As I mentioned, some like it shaken, some stirred; some like it drier or wetter, and then there are the many newer, sometimes neon colored variations sporting fruit juices, liqueurs and aperitifs.
Whatever your plans for New Year's Eve, remember to drink sensibly and have fun. Bill and I wish you a New Year filled with the very best. Cheers!

Norwegian Town Uses Mirrors To Try To Come Into The Light
By editor
Originally published on Thu October 24, 2013 6:07 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
A town in Norway has spent all 100 of its winters in the shade. The town is in the mountains, and when the winter sun sinks low, its rays never reach the people in town. That may change. A local artist campaigned to have mirrors placed on a mountainside. When unveiled on October 31st, they should drop a patch of sunlight in the town square. The artist says it will be good for, quote, "the pale little children in town."

The Associated Press, long the purveyors of the most prestigious college football and college basketball polls, has decided to turn pro.
The AP has unveiled its first NFL Pro32 NFL power rankings. Once the season begins, a panel of 12 writers and broadcasters will update their ballots each week and share their reasons.
The Buffalo Bills rated 19th in the preseason poll. They were 10th among AFC teams and third in the division behind the No. 2 New England Patriots and No. 17 New York Jets. The Miami Dolphins, in case you were wondering, came in at No. 27.
A point system will determine the rankings each week with an inverted scale. The team that's rated first will receive 32 points, and the team rated last will receive 1 point.
To get you acquainted with the voters, here they are in alphabetical order with their Bills rating and comment. Click on each voter's link to see his complete ballot.
Chris Berman, ESPN
No. 14 -- Most excitement in Western New York in offseason in years.
Clifton Brown, Sporting News
No. 17 -- Really like team's offseason moves, but Ryan Fitzpatrick needs to be more consistent.
Cris Collinsworth, NBC Sports
No. 21 -- Could be dominant defensive line with Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, and Marcell Dareus.
Rich Gannon, CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio
No. 14 -- Bills make playoffs if they avoid the injury bug.
Bob Glauber, Newsday
No. 24 -- Buffalo opened the vault for Mario Williams, but New England still owns AFC East.
Rick Gosselin, Dallas Morning News
No. 21 -- Bills now have pass rush in free-agent signees Mario Williams and Mark Anderson.
Clark Judge, CBSSports.com
No. 19 -- Big offseason moves, but still must beat New England.
Ira Kaufman, Tampa Tribune
No. 23 -- Addition of Mario Williams keeps hope alive in Western New York.
Pat Kirwan, SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com
No. 17 -- Great offseason puts Bills in situation to rush passer without blitzing. As long as Fred Jackson is healthy they will be playoff contenders.
John Lynch, Fox Sports
No. 20 -- Hope springs eternal after strong offseason led by signing of Mario Williams. Key to Bills' success is play of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Is he guy who cashed in after strong first half of 2011 or guy who struggled mightily in second half?
Alex Marvez, Foxsports.com
No. 12 -- NFL's longest active playoff drought (12 seasons and counting) is set to end thanks to defensive upgrades led by free-agent signing of pass-rushing beast Mario Williams and hiring of Dave Wannstedt as coordinator.
Dan Pompei, Chicago Tribune
No. 25 -- Mario Williams can make a lot of players around him more effective, and he will need to in Buffalo.

ADP: Job Market Improving, But Slowdown on Its Way
The payroll company says job growth is strengthening but fiscal policy will put on the brakes soon.
Private sector companies added 198,000 jobs in February, according to figures released Wednesday from payroll processing firm ADP.
The estimate comes in above consensus estimates, at around 173,000 private-sector jobs, and may signal that Friday's jobs report from the Labor Department will also be stronger than expected. Consensus estimates for the employment report estimate around 171,000 total new jobs in February, according to Bloomberg. The data are an encouraging sign of a stabilizing job market, says one economist.
"It feels like underlying job growth continues to improve. At the current pace this should be enough to start bringing down unemployment," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, an economic forecasting firm that coproduces the report, in a call with reporters this morning.
[RELATED: Five Stocks That Sent Dow to New Record]
He estimates that 100,000 to 125,000 new jobs are necessary each month just to stabilize the unemployment rate. Growth at the current rate should therefore help to bring the unemployment rate down, albeit slowly. The Labor Department estimates that in January, employers added 157,000 jobs, with a jobless rate of 7.9 percent.
Zandi added that he is encouraged by the broad-based job gains in the ADP report. The data show that the service sector led job growth, but that construction and manufacturing—two industries that have been shaky throughout the recovery—also posted gains. Manufacturing employers added 9,000 jobs in February, according to ADP, and construction added 21,000 jobs, yet another sign of an improving housing market.
But the good times can't last forever, especially with sequestration in effect, in addition to more large-scale budget fights on the horizon. Congress still has to decide this spring how to continue funding government operations, not to mention whether to raise the debt ceiling. The reduced spending and increased uncertainty from all of these battles could keep employers from adding new workers.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons About the Economy]
"Fiscal policy is a very significant headwind to economic growth," Zandi said. "I would be surprised if we don't see some slowing in job growth as we make our way through the summer to the fall months."
Though he does not see these headwinds pushing the job market back into negative growth territory, Zandi said that he foresees monhtly job growth getting as slow as 100,000 per month. That would be a major slowdown; average monthly job growth in 2012 was around 180,000.
While the ADP report may provide hopeful signs for Friday, the report is by no means a perfect indicator of government payroll figures. The two datasets are highly correlated, but month-to-month fluctuations occasionally make for wide misses.

TEL AVIV MarketWatch -- Comerica Inc., /quotes/zigman/222822/delayed/quotes/nls/cma CMA -1.16% the Dallas banking company, reported fourth-quarter net income reached $130 million, or 68 cents a share, from $96 million, or 48 cents, in the year-earlier quarter. A survey of analysts by FactSet produced a consensus estimate of profit of 65 cents for the quarter. In a Wednesday statement, Comerica attributed the results to stronger revenue from loans and fees combined with expense control. The net interest margin, measuring the difference between what a bank takes in on loans and pays out in deposits, narrowed to 2.87% from 3.19% a year earlier.

Other cancer research deserves support
As I relax on a Sunday afternoon, I glance up at the NFL players on TV wearing pink socks, pink shoes and pink helmet ribbons, and I am compelled to write this letter.
While I get that the wearing of pink represents the NFL's commitment to breast cancer awareness and the 39,000 lives that will be lost this year, I am reminded that there are many other cancers from which women die every year. Will the NFL or another sport be wearing white ribbons in November? After all, lung cancer will kill 72,000 women this year. Or will they wear purple for the 15,000 who will die from pancreatic cancer? In March, who will wear blue for colon cancer, which will kill 25,000 women? Who will wear orange in September for the 10,000 women who will die from leukemia, or light green for the 9,100 who will die from lymphoma? And I dare The Daily Star to print a teal edition in September in honor of those women who will die from ovarian cancer — 15,500 or more.
It's time to start bringing awareness, support and funding to all cancers so that great strides can be made for all people suffering from this dreadful disease. Wearing or buying a product is a great way to show support for a cause, but be sure that the funds are actually going for cancer research and not just to companies that profit from your purchase. If you aren't sure, donate to research hospitals such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering or Dana-Farber. Let's work together to bring awareness and funding to all cancers.
I write this in memory of my daughter, Michelle Cassidy MacNaught, who died in 2011, at the age of 21, from ovarian cancer.
Mary MacNaught

Summertime in northern Michigan is glorious. Clean water and fresh air make swimming, fishing, boating and hiking the basis of many happy memories. We have an obligation to future generations to ensure that they, too, can experience the wonders of a northern Michigan summer. Unfortunately, climate change is already taking a toll on the place we love.
Right now we are experiencing extremely low Great Lakes water levels. Another impact of climate change is increases in flashy type rains as opposed to those slow steady rains we remember from our childhood. For example, the intense storm that hit Illinois this spring had the highest levels of flooding ever recorded there. Last year, Duluth, Minnesota had a 10-inch rainfall in less than two days. The flooding there collapsed roads and caused damage costing millions to repair. These are just a few of the effects we are experiencing right now that threaten the health of our waters and communities.
President Obama's plan to cut carbon pollution is a good and positive step to address this problem. Power plants release as much carbon pollution as they want. There are limits for arsenic, mercury and lead, now it is time to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and limit carbon pollution too.
However, these needed cuts to carbon pollution will take years to take effect in our atmosphere. That's why Freshwater Future is working to help communities around the Great Lakes adapt to current impacts of climate change. Through our Climate Program we are training citizens and providing crucial funds to help communities be more resilient to the impacts of climate change in the Great Lakes region. For example, neighborhoods in Detroit are installing rain gardens to collect and treat stormwater, reducing flows to the city's overburdened wastewater treatment plant and pollution to the Detroit River.

240. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Kurnbread Jun 9, 2013 8:51 PM in response to tbkonwso
Well. I ended up adding a line and gave my iPhone 5 to my wife. I bought the galaxy s 4. I was on my 3rd iPhone 5 and the last two the apple store gave me had stuff rattling around in them. I'm quite satisfied with the Samsung android experience. I won't be going back to iOS anytime soon. that is my iPhone 5 battery fix.
241. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Kirk Carver Jun 10, 2013 1:03 PM in response to Nathan Goldshlag
I took pains to step-by-step analyze the problem over several weeks. I even swapped my hardware with my wife's iPhone 5. What I have determined is that The issue is fairly location dependent, most likely a software issue, and has to do with the network/wifi connectivity.
I consistently got 8+ hours of normal use from my previous iPhones. Now I get 4 - 6 hours with very similar routines. Hopefully Apple will fix this issue. Giving the device a bad name.
242. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Kirk Carver Jun 10, 2013 1:04 PM in response to thunder1202
Can you explain exactly what Reset All Settings does to the device, and what I will need to reinstate?
243. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!thunder1202 Jun 10, 2013 6:50 PM in response to Kirk Carver
Reset all sttings : will NOT erase your SMS, notes, contacts; mail, photos or apps.
It resets the SETTINGS to factory default (i.e screen lock settings, passcode, mail fetch, location services, wifi, bluetooth and notification center).
Try that first before deleting any of your apps.
If your battery is still draining; turn off mail fetch
As I menioned ; try to delete FB app as a last option.
Now my phone has 68% battery after more than 23 hours of last charge.
244. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Jdawg24 Jun 16, 2013 11:02 PM in response to Nathan Goldshlag
hi nathan
i have just reset all settings and have no background apps running in the background with all mail set to manual.
I am using battery doctor to monitor the battery--it is showing CPU usage of 14.3 %
according to your stat, then something is chewing the cpu yes if it should sit between 2-4%?
what else could I try. I'm lucky if I get 5 hours out of the phone in a normal day before it hits 5%.
245. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Mrigger Jun 21, 2013 3:08 PM in response to tbkonwso
I know you have all your apps off but I do know angry birds has a feature called magic places that tracks your location even if the app is not running so maybe there are others that do such a thing
246. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Gilmiguel55 Jun 22, 2013 8:05 AM in response to tbkonwso
What worked for me is killing Whatapp when not using it, i get the notifications anyway from the notification center so i dont understand why whatsapp doest closes itself when i close it and instead keeps running in the background drainning the battery. Whatsapp running in the background is useless since i get the notifications on the notifications center anyway, i wish they make that change and allow for closing it completely when i close it. Right now when i am not using it i click twice on the button push for 10 seconds the whatsapp app and click on the minus sign that appears. By the end of the day my Batt is at 70% doing the same things as always.
247. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Rhode Island Jun 22, 2013 1:00 PM in response to bubax3
I was experiencing battery drain in my iPhone 5 as well, after I updated to iOS 6.1.4 (the newest version of iOS). I read the post on here and decided that I would add my own input.
This is what I recommend to FIX THE iPhone 5 battery drain problem:
1) Turn off all NOTIFICATIONS (settings>notifications>set manually>turn off all unnecessary, and leave only those on that you absoltuely need
2) Turn off all unnecessary LOCATION SERVICES (settings>privacy>location services>leave on the essentials that you think you may need
3) Plug your iPhone 5 into your computer
4) Go to/open iTunes on your computer
5) Do a full RESTORE of your iPhone 5 and set it up from your BACKUP (I would not recommend setting it up as a new phone, it is way more time consuming, and you will lose all your data! )
Once, the RESTORE is done, there will be a prompt that reads:
"There is new software update from your cell phone carrier available" Click UPDATE
***This should fix your iPhone 5 back to it's original glory!
Hope this helps!
Rhode Island

(1) deleting all current email accounts and calenders that are being synced;
(2) perform a hard reboot of the iphone; and
(3) re-join the deleted email accounts and calenders.
I need to do this every few months, but it works every time - the phone stops getting hot, and the battery life is extended to like when first purchased.
This issue also occured with iphone 4, and the same solution worked.

Look, this is crazy. The iphone 5 should not have to be used like a stipped down volkswagon. I have turned off EVERYTHING that could take jucie--so I have a basic phone. NOT WHAT I PAID FOR AND NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM APPLE.
This phone is not even 6 months old and my battery went from 100% at 3PM today to 43% now--with ALL the things I bought it for turned off. Forget about initial rollout---this is PLAN FAILURE. Temporary fixes; why don't we all become apple tecks now that we are owners---folks I have a life; I bought the iphone5 to make my life easier.
I am exceptionally disappointed and feel ripped off.

I understand your frustration and I feel your pain.
I recommend that you follow my post from 3 posts above.
I agree that Apple should not have rolled this out before it was
perfect, but it seems to be a problem with the newest
You have to do a software restore to fix the battery.
I was having the same problems, but after I followed the steps
Of my post above, it fixed my battery perfectly.
Do it - and your iPhone 5 will be the best phone in the world
and have a very good battery life.
Hope this helps!

Well Rhode Island, I did it and I am losing juice but at a much slower pace. Been 3 hours and down 30% but that is better than dead in an hour. Maybe I should retry tomorrow. Appreciate the guidance.
252. Re: Iphone 5 Battery Drain ****FIX****!!!!!Rhode Island Jun 26, 2013 6:30 PM in response to BeltwayKate
If you follow my instructions, it will fix it.
And your phone will be back to all of its glory!
The problem is a glitch with the newest software update of the newest iOS.
JUST follow these steps:
1). Go through all NOTIFICATIONS and LOCATION SERVICES and turn off all unnecessary functions.
2). Do a RESTORE (and DO NOT set up as a new iPhone, do a restore as a BACKUP from your computer or iCloud.
3). Also, I would recommend resetting all setting to factory defaults. You can do this by going to SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
(You will not lose data, but you will have to re-enter your wifi password and reset your passlock. No big deal. Also, you might have to reset your screensaver /home screen image, also, no big deal
4). Do a hard restart of your iPhone. To do hard restart, simply hold the home button (circle button the bottom) and the on/off switch in the upper right...press abd hold both of them for 10 seconds until the silver apple logo appears.
Let it restart. Takes about 1 minute.
This should do it!
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Rhode Island

I just moved up (?) from a 4S to the 5. No apps running - just the basic phone. My 4S, in standby, would drop to around 96% after about 4-6 hours, while driving around the neighborhood. My 5, with the identical setup, drops this far in less than an hour - sitting on my kitchen counter (not moving, so no location activity). There IS a difference between the 4S and the 5, but it's not a deal-killer, just an irritation. With this phone, I just have to remember to keep a close eye on the charge level.

Apr. 10, 2012
Romney campaign pulls ads critical of Republican presidential rival Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania after Santorum's three-year-old disabled daughter, Bella, is hospitalized; her medical struggles--and the public outpouring of sympathy for her--have the potential to complicate Romney's efforts to quickly end the Republican nominating fight. MORE

Apr. 5, 2012
Rick Santorum has not yet acknowledged defeat in the face of Mitt Romney's three-state primary sweep, but his advisers admit that the path to victory has now become obscure; his future has been cast in doubt not only by a widening delegate gap, but increasing signs that his conservative base may be turning away. MORE
Apr. 4, 2012
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign is hoping for momentum heading into Pennsylvania, the home state of rival Rick Santorum, who has called it a must-win primary; even without a victory, Romney's aides think he can win more than half of its 72 delegates. MORE
Apr. 3, 2012
Political Memo; despite the delegate gap, Rick Santorum is digging in for another month of hard campaigning, seeking to capture the Republican presidential nomination as long as he can see a path to win, even if it means forcing an open convention; launches new negative ad campaign attacking Mitt Romney as a moderate.

MORE
Mar. 17, 2012
Rick Santorum's landslide defeat in the 2006 Pennsylvania Senate race, in part due to his strong support for the Iraq war and conservative family values, helped him establish his political persona; those values, passionate and polarizing on social and moral issues, hawkish on international policy, have allowed him to cast himself as the face of conservatism as he challenges Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination. (Series: The Long Run) MORE
Mar. 7, 2012
Editorial holds that the inconclusive results of the Super Tuesday Republican primary contests reflect the fact that Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are too busy establishing hyper-conservative credentials to offer viable solutions to the problems facing the average voter; notes that many voters have a less favorable view of Republicans than they did before the primary began. MORE
Mar. 4, 2012
Rick Santorum has undergone a religious transformation over the past two decades that is now spurring a national conversation about faith in the public sphere; once self-described as a 'nominal Catholic,' Santorum has become a deeply conservative Catholic who boldly invokes his faith while describing his policies on same-sex marriage, abortion and other social issues (Series: The Long Run). MORE

MORE
Feb. 25, 2012
Joe Nocera Op-Ed column argues that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum's implicit calls for a government that follows theological precepts were discredited more than 350 years ago by Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, who championed the separation of church and state; cites author John M Barry's book Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul. MORE
Feb. 17, 2012
Editorial contends Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum's plans to revive the economy are nothing more than a rehash of tired Republican ideas going back decades; says Santorum is a far more authentic representative of his party's angry base than any of his rivals but he does not represent the American mainstream, or its tradition of confronting big problems with big ideas. MORE
Feb. 13, 2012
Rick Santorum struggles to explain a remark in his book, It Takes A Family, in which he accuses 'radical feminists' of convincing women that fulfillment could be found only in the workplace, rather than at home; he attributes remark to his wife Karen, although she is not credited with writing any portion of the book; the book was sharply debated during his unsuccessful 2006 bid for re-election as a senator from Pennsylvania, drawing criticism from women's groups and Democratic officials at the time. MORE
Jan. 20, 2012
Rick Santorum, as a new member of Congress in 1991, joined with a group of other Republican newcomers to shame the House leadership into releasing names of those who bounced checks at the House bank in scandal known as 'Rubbergate'; while Santorum brands incident as proof of his outsider status in his current presidential campaign, a careful look shows that he is a savvy political operator who later became a member of the Washington elite he had once railed against (Series: The Long Run). MORE
Jan. 18, 2012
Editorial asserts Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum both eagerly took the low road in South Carolina's Republican presidential debate; says they followed in the long and tawdry tradition of stirring up racial animosity and then linking it to Pres Obama. MORE
Jan. 16, 2012
Examination of the earmark record of Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum as a senator from Pennsylvania suggests that the river of federal money Santorum helped direct to his state paid off handsomely in the form of campaign contributions; review sheds light on aspect of Santorum's political personality that is at odds with the reformer image he has tried to convey. MORE
Jan. 3, 2012
Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry, on last day of campaigning before the caucuses, implore Iowans to turn out for them. MORE
Dec. 24, 2011
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has been struggling to connect widely with Iowa voters as the January 2012 caucuses near; despite his longtime credentials as a religious conservative and a reputation for trustworthiness, many say he lacks the magnetism and charisma that ultimately appeals to voters.

Being Human Episode 205
"Addicted to Love"
Written By: Lisa Randolph
Directed By: Charles Biname
Original Airdate: 13 February 2012
In This Episode...
Nora is shocked when her ex, Will - the one that put her in the hospital - shows up just to say hi. He promises to make amends, but when Josh sees him, he loses his temper - with Nora, for listening to him for even one moment. I guess that night's full moon is making him pissy. Josh is obviously feeling threatened, and Conner exploits this by going with Josh to see Will at the house he is building and beating the crap out of him. Nora interrupts and pulls Josh off of Will before he attacks with a plank of wood. That night, as Nora is leaving work and (supposedly) going to meet Josh at the storage unit, Brynn shows up to talk to her. Nora finally opens up about how she is having a hard time dealing with the wolf inside her, that her human side and lycan side are constantly at odds. Brynn convinces her that she needs to let her werewolf run free, so that night, she joins Brynn and Conner in the woods rather than in the storage locker. The three of them tear Will apart.
Sally is enjoying her possession of Janet, Dr. Forest's girlfriend, a little too much. After a night with him, she leaves the body, deliriously happy but horribly hungover. Josh lectures her about the addictive properties of possession, which just sends Sally right back to Janet's body. She spends a little more time there, then finally decides to leave - and finds she can't. She goes to Josh, begging for help, but Dr. Forest sees her before they can figure anything out and walks her home to his apartment, where she is supposed to meet his mother. Sally does a piss-poor job of faking her way through the minutia of a relationship, but at the doc's apartment, the black shadow monster attacks. Sally panics, is thrown against the wall, but the fear knocks her loose of Janet. Sally goes home, traumatized. Janet then comes knocking on the door, herself traumatized and manic. She has dreams about this house, feels haunted by it, can see Sally's death. Josh thinks it is Sally until Sally materializes. Josh rushes Janet out the door. He is adamant that Sally not go near her, but Aidan agrees with Sally - she should try to make things right. So Sally pays Janet a visit and tries to apologize, even though Janet can't see or hear her. But Janet is too busy, sketching the shadow monster over and over and over. Sally is nervous when she sees just how broken Janet is - and more so when Janet titles one of her monsters "Reaper."
We finally get the full story of what happened in Boston in 1930. Aidan catches Henry screwing and feeding off of human girls. He warns his progeny, but Henry doesn't listen. Mother throws a grand party for the local humans, and all is going well until she tells Suren that they will be leaving Boston soon. Suren doesn't want to leave, and stomps upstairs to tell Henry that they need to leave immediately. She finds him fucking a human, then making pitiful excuses ("I was just about to come find you to feed with me!") She storms off, back to the party and Aidan, who was in the background for most of this scene, starts beating up Henry. His attention is diverted when he hears screams from the ballroom. He leaves Henry with the edict that he leave Boston immediately and never return. Suren, meanwhile, has thrown the vampire equivalent of a temper tantrum. The girl whom Henry was screwing caught her eye, and Suren flew into a rage, ripping out her throat. Mother was very disappointed that her daughter outed the vampires. She called for guards to lock the doors, and the slaughter commenced. After, Suren was dragged out of the ballroom, kicking and screaming like a petulant child, saying she "didn't want to be grounded." Yeah, they went there.
In the present, Mother pays Suren a visit. She is mad that the culling of the orphans is not coming along as quickly as it should, and demands that Suren and Aidan step up the pace. Aidan is hesitant to kill off his own, but doesn't want to upset Suren, so he agrees. They first check out the funeral home - vampires are creatures of habit and will return to someplace familiar - and find that vamps were there, very recently, but seemed to have cleared out. While Suren is checking another room, Henry pops up. He has been living with the orphans because he has "felt like one." Aidan is happy to see him, but hides him away from Suren.
Dig It or Bury It?
I am worried that Being Human is starting to lose that magic it once had. Yes, season one was essentially a word-for-word and scene-for-scene remake of the BBC version, and season two has really gone in its own direction, but in season one, you had Josh, Sally, and Aidan interacting more and they have a really great chemistry together. Now, not only do you have them doing their own thing for the most part - and therefore not interacting with one another - they are all miserable. In tonight's episode, Josh was especially insufferable. He jumps to conclusions and he gives in to peer pressure. On the vampire side of things, Aidan is really taking a back seat to Suren and Mother. Only Sally's storyline is still compelling.
Jolly Good Fun
There were a couple mildly cute ramblings on Sally's end, but for the most part, it was a straight-faced episode.
Bloody Hell
You don't get to see much of the 1930 bloodbath, but there is something striking about seeing Suren post-kill, blood drenching her ethereal white dress.
Nora and Josh are at the top of the suspects list in Will's death. Henry wants back into Aidan and Suren's good graces. And Sally attends her mother's funeral.

Stillwater NewsPress
STILLWATER, Okla. —
With his team getting ready for the Big 12 championship on Friday, one word came to mind for Oklahoma State women's tennis coach Chris Young — energy.
"I think there's been periods of time this year that we haven't started the singles matches off with as much energy as we want to, especially after winning the doubles points. ... I think we've solved that problem moving forward."
At noon in Norman, the fifth-seeded Cowgirls hope increased energy will lead to a victory over the fourth-seeded Texas Christian University Lady Frogs.
"We have some momentum heading into the Big 12 matches," Young said. "I feel really good about where we are at as a team and the progress we made in the last couple weeks. We're excited about another opportunity to face them on (Thursday)."
Oklahoma State lost 5-2 to TCU on April 12. Young said his team will need better execution in the rematch.
"We need to play the way we are capable of playing with the type of focus and energy," Young said.
Young said one of the differences entering Thursday's match is the Cowgirls' number four and five singles — Kanyapat Narattana and Maria Alvarez. Narattana has won two of her last three matches. Alvarez won her match against Oklahoma Saturday.
"Kanyapat is playing as well as anybody on the team right now," Young said. "I think she is going to give us a good strong effort. Maria played well on Saturday, if she plays like that, she can beat anybody on number five singles."
The Cowgirls (13-7, 5-4) snapped a two-match losing streak with a 4-3 victory over Oklahoma. One of the key victories was the doubles team of Meghan Blevins and Karyn Guttormsen. They trailed 7-4 before winning in a tiebreaker. Young said he hopes they build on that momentum.
"We made a few adjustments in our formations, how we were serving and how we played those points," Young said. "I thought it was really important for us to come back from 7-4 in the fashion we did, gave us a lot of momentum heading into singles.
"I'm really proud of those girls for understanding they needed to make changes at that point in the match and executing," Young said.
If the Cowgirls win they will face either top-seeded Baylor, No. 8 Kansas or No. 9 Iowa State at 3 p.m. Saturday.

The Best of Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch
The former New York City mayor was a colorful personality and frequent subject in the U.S. News archives.
During Ed Koch's three terms as mayor of New York City, he made news for things he said and things spoken about him. As he is laid to rest today, we take a look back and some of his more memorable moments.
[PHOTOS: The Life of Former Mayor Ed Koch]
On Oct. 10, 1983, U.S. News published a collection of "Current Quotes," including one from Koch about why the United Nations needed to remain in his city: "They should stay here in the city of New York because every country needs a cesspool."
On July 14, 1986, in an article called "We Cut Loose" about the centennial of Lady Liberty, Koch stated: "I govern today more Jews than live in Jerusalem, more blacks than live in Nairobi, more Irish than in Dublin, more Puerto Ricans than live in San Juan, more Italians than in Florence."
On Jan. 9, 1989, in an article called "Lines From Our Times," Koch had a somewhat more positive take on his city: "New York is mad, but the madness is gallant. New York is beautiful, but the beauty is grim."
On Nov. 6, 1989, U.S. News quoted Roger Ailes discussing Koch as part of its "Slams of the Week." Ailes, whose given title was "GOP campaign wizard," was asked about Koch's characterization of him as a "common criminal." His response: "If he thinks I'm a common criminal, I'm surprised he didn't offer me a job in his administration."
For more "Kochisms" and to find out how he angered a group of visiting Soviet teenagers, check out these two articles from the U.S. News archives.
The Grinch at City Hall
By Gerald Parshall
From the Potomac to the Politburo, the pin-striped diplomats minted polished platitudes. Meanwhile, the Nicholas Daniloff affair provoked Mayor Edward Koch into taking New York City to the brink. Dressed in shirt sleeves, he went eyeball to eyeball with a Soviet delegation in the rotunda of City Hall. The Soviets blinked first—they being 10 teenagers and preteenagers who had never before witnessed the mayor engaged in saving the "world's greatest" metropolis from drifting without a foreign policy.
Koch was anointing "Peace Child Week" in honor of a troupe of Soviet youngsters and 12 American youths crossing the U.S. in a "peace" play. The Soviet "government is the pits," the mayor told the young thespians when the proclaiming was done. "I don't want people to think that because I issued a proclamation commenting on peace that somehow or other I'm at peace with the Soviet government. I am not." He added, "Have a very good time while you're here, O.K.?"
The angry youths took swift reprisals—scrubbing the rest of their City Hall tour. "I don't want to stay in this house no more minute," announced Yegor Druzhinin, 14. "I want to go to bus and to go far, far away. The mayor is very rude." Before the Soviet saplings came to the U.S., they were taught about Communism and capitalism. But no one taught them about Kochism. Oksana Remizova, 18, protested that the mayor showed disrespect by appearing "in a dirty shirt and wrinkled tie." No one had briefed her that this is Koch's standard garb for greeting visitors, whether plutocrat, peasant or proletarian. Fending off the sartorial slur, Hizzoner said later: "What kind of a Communist society do they have there? Everyone runs around in tuxedos?"
The next day, Izvestia lobbed missiles at Koch from Moscow while the Soviet news agency Tass blasted him as a "reactionary provocateur." He was even grazed by friendly fire from the New York Times, which urged that he "pick on politicians his own size, or bigger."
But Koch, who once pinned the sobriquet "cesspool" on the United Nations and once called Prince Charles "a nice guy" who is "going to be bald," gave no sign of muting his declamations on the world scene. Just hours after the Soviet youngsters left in a huff, he told visiting East Germans that East Berlin is "very drab, very gray." The next day, shortly before Mexican dignitaries were due at City Hall to hear the mayor proclaim "Mexico Week," he described the Mexican government as corrupt—then soon donned a sombrero and bellowed, "Viva Mexico!"
Famously Said by Ed
By Jim Impoco; Susan Lawrence; Bill Kazer; Ted Gest; Donald Baer; Miriam Horn; Scott Minerbrook
As Ed Koch surrenders the keys to Gracie Mansion this week after 12 years, Gotham tabloids ought to give him a proper send-off:
For the verbal indiscretions of New York's mayor are legendary. A valedictory sampling:
* On life in the suburbs: "It's sterile, it's nothing, it's wasting your life."
* On life in rural areas: "It's a joke ... you have to drive 20 miles to buy a gingham dress or Sears, Roebuck suit."
* On blacks: "They're basically anti-Semitic. Now, I want to be fair about it. Most whites are anti-black."
* On reporters: Those "who appear friendly and smile ... are the ones who will seek to gut you on every occasion."
* On a colleague: "He is likeable and charming, but if you are looking for someone who will stand up and do the right thing when ... someone somewhere may get upset, then do not look for Basil."
* On his own nature: "I like to tweak people." And "I always get even."
Defeat can dethrone but cannot silence Koch. He will write a column, work as a TV commentator and practice law.

Everyone has a different way of handling email, but I have a friend who has discovered the worst way of all: He lets messages accumulate in his inbox until they hit the 1,000 mark. Then he takes a day away from his other duties to do nothing but answer the backlog. As a result, people hear from him only sporadically, and pressing matters get deferred, while his own stress levels rise daily as his email count nears the magic 1,000.
We all wrestle with how to handle email overload, which taxes our productivity and our patience. We also have to mix in the invariable distractions that computers provide besides the mail. On a recent flight from Texas, I watched a man going back and forth between a presentation he was tuning up, the mail in his inbox, and constant checks of Twitter and Facebook. In a more innocent time we called this multitasking and praised ourselves for our ability to do it. The reality is that multitasking destroys concentration and degrades thought.
When it comes to email, I still have my three-sentence rule, which says that when theres lots of mail and time is short, no response should be longer than three sentences. It works! I admit its hard to force yourself into this mold when someone has just sent you a three-page tract, but if you can steel yourself to the task, you can manage it. Anyway, when the mail flow slows back down, you can always reply at greater leisure.
Go away, Im busy
As to the rest, we need to re-grow our attention spans. In his own way my friend is trying to do this, but concentrated attention has to happen daily, not just now and then. This is why, when it comes to reading on digital devices, I simply will not do it on a tablet computer. Every time I start, I think of something I need to check in my calendar or to-do list. Better to use a Kindle or one of the other E-ink devices that offer nothing but text. Theyre books enhanced books, to be sure and they dont try to be televisions or message terminals or photo display screens.
Research at the University of California at Irvine shows that it takes us 23 minutes to get back up to speed after an interruption (like the tweet I just answered because I gave in to my inner demon). Maybe I need to talk to a company called MyFocus, which has a Kickstarter campaign to fund a 3.5-inch button that goes on your desktop. When you set it on green, it puts off the healthy glow of openness to interruption, so your colleagues can stop by your desk to chat. When you turn it red, it means, Go away, Im busy.
Dont kid yourself
Of course, the MyFocus button actually does more than this. Hit the button to show youre busy, and your online status also changes. Skype shows you as unavailable. Across all your linked devices and the various apps you use to drive them, you are on hold so that those messages that keep popping up in your email simply queue up until youre green again. Your phone will take messages, but it wont ring. Texts will arrive without notification sounds. The maker, CanFocus plans to extend the softwares reach to Facebook and Twitter.
Magic button or not, what it comes down to is that trying to do multiple tasks simultaneously is all but impossible instead, we simply move quickly between separate tasks, a switch in attention that lengthens the time to complete each job and lowers the quality of the result. Dont kid yourself: Even the best digital technology cant remove the need for disciplined, focused attention, and that means on a routine basis throughout the day, not 1,000 messages at a time.

What are the most profitable NHL systems on BetLabs?
asked 11 Oct '13, 18:40
Bet Labs is really designed for users to develop their own profitable systems. However, here is a contrarian NHL system we developed that may help point you in the right direction.
answered 12 Oct '13, 08:15
Si-PJ ♦♦
Thank you for sharing the system.
Bet Labs should also be a community about sharing systems that work. We're all here for the same mission...to beat the odds. We're not competing against each other, so there should be no harm in sharing ideas and concepts. From there, each person can tweak (not twerk) and customize to their preference.
Thanks again!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - For the 46th year, several University of Tennessee coaches spoke to the Davidson County UT Alumni Chapter.
Among them was Derek Dooley. Coach Dooley was asked about the Tyler Bray incident after the event. Dooley called the incident "silly behavior".
Dooley also made a joke about it saying, "Obviously he needs to work on his accuracy. He missed the trash can."
Coach Dooley went on to say that Bray apologized to the team and any punishment would be handled "internally".

Tablet-enabled Commander Mode introduced for Battlefield 4
Another mobile tie-in found its way into one of the big E3 press conferences today. EA was showing off Commander Mode for the upcoming Battlefield 4 first-person shooter game. Players in the commander role get a top-down view of a battle, and can deliver orders, drop supplies, and launch artillery support by way of airborne gunships or long-range missiles.
The structure here is vaguely reminiscent of what Tom Clancy's Division is doing, though as a commander, I imagine it's much harder to drop in and out since the team needs to be able to rely on consistent support in order to succeed. In any case, the Battlefield franchise already provides an extensive presence on iOS by way of their Battlelog social network and game tracking service.
If you're liking the looks of Battlefield 4, you should definitely scope out the full live gameplay demo that was shown off here at EA's press conference, along with a bunch of other awesome titles. Check out everything else BF4 has to offer over here.
There are 3 comments. Add yours.
Battlefield 3 is the best console shooter I have ever played. Can't wait for 4 on next gen!
Sent from the iMore App
I was so disappointed with Battlefield Bad Company 2, that I didn't even bother with Battlefield 3. Perhaps I should give this franchise another go round in Battlefield 4.

We love movie night. It's practically a weekly event in our house. The kids look forward to Friday night all week long. We always make homemade popcorn on the stovetop. I pop it in coconut oil and butter and sea salt — it is DIVINE. And in the wintertime I make my homemade hot chocolate to go with it. The hardest part is finding a movie all three kids agree on.
We rely on our Roku to have access to the best movies and TV shows so I was thrilled to hear that Target is launching their own video-on-demand service called Target Ticket!
Target Ticket is a digital video service that gives guests access to over 30,000 movie and TV titles at home and on-the-go (think Netflix but with Target flare). You can read more about it on A Bullseye View.
The first question my husband had when I told him about it was, "Does it work with Roku?"
The answer is yes, it most certainly does! (It is also available on PC and MAC, Android and iOS, Roku®, Xbox, Samsung televisions and Blu-Ray players.)
There are no subscription or sign-up fees. YAY! You can rent or purchase movies and TV shows, depending on your needs.
Plus REDcard holders receive five percent off each purchase, and new users get 10 free downloads on select movies when they sign up. I just got my REDcard. I was holding out because we don't keep a lot of store cards, but I couldn't let that 5% go to waste any longer. I hooked it up to my bank account so it works as a debit card. It's super easy to sign up, too. You just give them a voided check right at the cash register. Takes less than a minute — literally. You also get free shipping on their website when you're a REDcard holder.
I swear, they didn't ask me to tell you that. I just did it last week and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner!
But back to Target Ticket.
What I really love about it is that Target is partnering with Common Sense Media, a non-profit known for its reviews of TV shows and movies. I always go to their reviews before deciding whether or not to let my children watch a particular movie. The partnership allows Target Ticket to offer thousands of quality movie reviews, which makes it easy for parents to choose the right content our children.
And get this. You can customize user profiles and set filters for each family member to control the content you want your kids to be watching while still being able to watch what you want to watch. I LOVE THAT.
I signed up last night and it took less than 5 minutes. My husband found the Target Ticket channel on the Roku, put in my user name and password, and we're ready to go! Movie Night, here we come!!!
Interested in trying out Target Ticket?
I have a $50 Target gift card to give away to one lucky reader!!
I'm trying something new and hosting this giveaway on my MOAH Facebook Page. You do have to "like" the page to access the giveaway, but I hope you "like it already! Make sure to add my Facebook page to your favorites so you're sure to see my posts. Facebook is kind of stingy so you have to tell them what you want to see.
Is Target Ticket something you think you'll try? Tell me what you think!

Retail is the sale of goods and services from individuals or businesses to the end-user. Retailers are part of an integrated system called the supply chain. A retailer purchases goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or directly through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the consumer for a profit. Retailing can be done in either fixed locations or online. Retailing includes subordinated services, such as delivery. The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as a public utility, like electric power.
Shops may be on residential streets, streets with few or no houses or in a shopping mall. Shopping streets may be for pedestrians only. Sometimes a shopping street has a partial or full roof to protect customers from precipitation. Online retailing, a type of electronic commerce used for business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and mail order, are forms of non-shop retailing.
Shopping generally refers to the act of buying products. Sometimes this is done to obtain necessities such as food and clothing; sometimes it is done as a recreational activity. Recreational shopping often involves window shopping (just looking, not buying) and browsing and does not always result in a purchase.

SBS featured in NASCAR Hall Of Fame exhibit in N.C.
- Last Updated on 07:52 AM 05/14/12
- BY Joe Chandler
South Boston Speedway has been selected as one of four NASCAR short tracks to be featured in the NASCAR Hall Of Fame in Charlotte, N.C.
The local track is featured as part of a new exhibition that opens today in the Great Hall of the NASCAR Hall Of Fame called "Grassroots Racing: Where NASCAR Heroes Are Born."
NASCAR Hall Of Fame officials said the exhibition will be open for viewing through Oct. 6.
"We are very happy and very honored to be included in this exhibition and to be featured in the NASCAR Hall of Fame," said South Boston Speedway General Manager Cathy Rice.
"It's a very special honor, especially when you consider that there are 60-plus NASCAR-sanctioned short tracks across the country. South Boston Speedway has been a big part of NASCAR racing history and a number of drivers that got their start racing at South Boston Speedway have gone on to have successful careers at the highest levels of NASCAR racing. We're extremely proud and honored that NASCAR has chosen to honor South Boston Speedway in this way."
"Grassroots Racing: Where NASCAR Stars Are Born" tells the story of hometown racetracks, affectionately called "grassroots" tracks, where many NASCAR drivers began their careers racing every Friday and Saturday night.
"It's a vital part of our mission to preserve, uphold and be a resource for the sport and its history," said Winston Kelley, executive director of the NASCAR Hall Of Fame.
"This is the eighth new Great Hall exhibition since our opening in May, 2010, and it is with these exhibitions the Hall continues to present new chapters in the history book" of NASCAR."
The exhibit explores four race tracks historically known and recognized to be the beginnings of NASCAR racing - Greenville Pickens Speedway in Greenville, S.C., Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, N.C. and South Boston Speedway.
Highlighting the exhibition are historic racecars - David Pearson's Ford Modified (1937), Richard Childress' Plymouth Modified (1937), Dale Jarrett's Busch Series Pontiac LeMans (1986) and Denny Hamlin's Late Model Chevrolet (2003).
Rice said she and South Boston Speedway officials are exploring possibilities to host a NASCAR Hall Of Fame Night at some point during the season.
"We are looking at a possible date in July for that event," Rice said.
"But, there is nothing definite at this point. We will announce further details at a later date."
The NASCAR Hall Of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. is open to the public. Tickets to the NASCAR Hall of Fame can be purchased by calling 877-231-2010 or visiting the website at NASCARHall.com.
