DETROIT ľ After 20 minutes of play Wednesday night at Joe Louis Arena it looked as if the Detroit Red Wings would skate away with their fourth straight win.
Things changed from that point on.
St. Louis scored shorthanded, on the power play, even strength and then 52 seconds into overtime to snap the Wingsĺ streak, 4-3.
ôI donĺt know if we took our foot off the gas, but we got away from the way we want to play,ö Drew Miller said. ôTheyĺre a team that doesnĺt give up a lot of shots most nights. Their D and their forwards blocked a lot of shots that never found their way to the net.ö
After getting off 11 shots on rookie goalie Jake Allen in the first period, Detroit had just seven more the rest of the way, one each in the third period and overtime.
ôWe kind of peppered him at first and got some goals, then we didnĺt get a lot of shots after that,ö Miller said. ôYou have to credit their D and their forwards for blocking a lot of shots.ö
Allen finished with 15 saves.
Alexander Steen got the game winner in OT for the Blues, who were 0-4-1 in their last five coming in after beginning the season 6-1-0. Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Tarasenko and Chris Stewart also scored.
Tomas Tatar, Miller and Pavel Datsyuk scored for the Wings. Jimmy Howard made 21 saves.
The Wingsĺ only shot in the third period was off the stick of Justin Abdelkader with 1:42 left to play.
ôYou donĺt do that to Detroit often,ö St. Louis forward David Backes said of limiting the Wings to one shot in the third period. ôThatĺs a badge of honor.ö
Detroit also had two power play chances in the third.
ôI just think we made some smart choices,ö Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said. ôWe knew we were the road team in a 3-3 tie. Get it into their zone and get it out of ours. Our penalty kill did a great job.ö
ôI didnĺt tell Ĺem not to shoot,ö Wings coach Mike Babcock said. ôI think we had lots off opportunity to get the puck to the net, I think youĺve got to give them credit. When theyĺre playing well, they donĺt give up a lot of shots. I donĺt know how many shots they got, I donĺt think they got a ton either. But the reality is we werenĺt good enough. I thought we turned over too many pucks and we didnĺt play good enough. The other thing is as a coach, I could have played more guys. And probably should have because in the end, we didnĺt get the result we wanted.ö
After Damien Brunner had a nice chance early in OT for the Wings, the Bluesĺ Barret Jackson picked up a puck along the boards and deflected a shot off Howardĺs shoulder. Steen got on the rebound and banged the bouncing puck past Howard.
ôThe part for me that was tough is the penalty kill goal we give up when weĺre trying to score, not even off a clean play and we get caught and then the line change goal, those things, I mean, those are crazy, crazy, crazy plays,ö Babcock said. ôItĺs real simple here. We have to play with great competition level and great structure and attention to detail. We had it going and we came off it big-time in the second period, stopped putting pucks in and turning them over. Then we wind up getting one point instead of two points. Itĺs disappointing but itĺs also the road weĺre on. Until we figure out for sure how we gotta play and for how long, youĺre not going to win on enough occasions.ö
The Wings caught a break on the first goal just two minutes into the first period when Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo tried to backhand the puck to the end boards, but it went right onto the stick of Tatar.
The rookie forward had all day in front of Allen, going backhand, to forehand and back to backhand to lift it past the Blues goalie on the Wingsĺ first shot of the game.
The goal was Tatarĺs second of his career. His other goal came on Dec. 31, 2010.
Less than six minutes later, Miller combined with Jordin Tootoo on a nice give-and-go with Miller finishing things, jamming his original shot that trickled past Allen over the goal line.
St. Louis got a goal back scoring shorthanded when Berglund one-timed a pass from T.J. Oshie on a 2-on-1. Brunner couldnĺt hold the puck in at the blue line and it led to the odd-man rush.
It was Detroitĺs league-high third shorthanded goal allowed.
And just like Sunday, the second period was dominated by the away team and the Blues left after with a one-goal lead.
Tarasenko scored on the power play and then less than two minutes later Stewart got behind the Wings defense ľ Jakub Kindl and Jonathan Ericsson ľ for the breakaway goal.
ôIt was probably our best first period of the whole year and then they took over completely in the second period,ö Zetterberg said. ôIt wasnĺt good. They really took over totally. We stopped the forecheck, we made some dumb mistakes, we gave them the puck and we didnĺt win the 50-50 battles.ö
Datsyuk put the momentum back in the Wingsĺ favor, banking a shot off Allen from behind the goal line to tie the game at 3-3 just past the midway point of the period.
ôAnytime you can get up early, you have to be careful with that lead, especially now with power plays and all of that,ö Patrick Eaves said. ôSo they came back and went up by one. Then we showed some character and got back into it. But that (winning goal) was kind of a bouncer in overtime. But that kind of stuff happens.ö
This was the fourth meeting of the season between the teams. They meet one more time, April 7 in Detroit.

Coogan, Gray Seek Disclosure in News of the World Case
Two British celebrities who say their mobile-phone voicemail messages were intercepted by an investigator for News Corp.'s News of the World newspaper asked a London judge to order the disclosure of more information.
A lawyer for Steve Coogan, an actor who appeared in the movie Tropic Thunder, and Andy Gray, a sports commentator, said private investigator Glenn Mulcaire should disclose who he was working for when he hacked into their cell phones. Mulcaire and News of the World's former royal reporter, Clive Goodman were jailed in 2007 for tapping mobile phones of the British royal family's household.
Today's case is one of at least four lawsuits filed by celebrities, including actress Sienna Miller, over allegations News of the World hacked into mobile-phone voicemails. U.K. police and prosecutors said last week they would review the claims for a third time.
Jeremy Reed, a lawyer for Coogan and Gray, today said at a hearing in London that he had written to Mulcaire's lawyers to determine who Mulcaire passed intercepted voicemails to, and if he had taught News of the World journalists how to access voicemails themselves.
Mulcaire's lawyers refused to provide the information, saying that it could incriminate their client, Reed said. He asked Justice Geoffrey Vos to rule Mulcaire can't use that defense.
Won't 'Tell You'
"Mulcaire is saying 'we're not going to tell you what happened,'" Reed said. He said Mulcaire is accusing Coogan and Gray of conducting a "fishing" expedition.
Hayley Barlow, a spokeswoman for News of the World, declined to comment. The paper wasn't represented by lawyers at the hearing.
Miller is suing the paper over claims the voicemail on her phones were hacked to get personal information. A news editor she claimed approved the hacking was suspended from the paper pending an investigation, News of the World said earlier this month. Soccer agent Skylet Andrew is also suing the newspaper alleging breach of privacy. Last week a London judge said his case should proceed to trial next year.
After re-opening the probe in September following a New York Times report that phone hacking was more widespread at the British newspaper than the prior case showed, prosecutors in December said they didn't have enough evidence to file further criminal charges.

I just build my computer, with an SSD and HDD. We turned the power switch on and the only thing that happens is two power lights in the motherboard turn on - nothing else at all. What could cause this?
Okay, a bit more detail (as much as I can give): I've just noticed that when I press the on button, all the fans move a tiny bit a top, the monitor once flashed and then immediately said no signal. It's definitely not a problem with the RAM.

But one of New Zealand rugby's iconic figures accepts this
demotion is inevitable - when the All Blacks play Ireland in
Dublin next weekend he most likely no longer will be the
country's most capped test player.
Richie McCaw and Mils Muliaina join him on 92 tests at
Murrayfield on Sunday (NZT) when New Zealand attempt to clear
the Scottish obstacle of their Grand Slam tour.
Fitzpatrick, baptised as a "Baby Black" against the French at
Christchurch in 1986, ended his test career in 1997 and
subsequently watched on proudly as McCaw and Muliaina have
grown to match his longevity.
"I couldn't think of two better people than Richie and Mils
to beat my record," he said.
"They are outstanding All Blacks, good leaders of men and for
me it's an honour to pass the baton on to those two."
Fitzpatrick was manager of the New Zealand under-21 side in
2000-01 when McCaw and Muliaina were in the team and realised
then the openside flanker was destined for a prolonged
international career.
"I said to Richie at the time that I would love you to beat
my record as the most capped All Black ever - we joked about
it then and now it's going to happen."
McCaw captained the side for the first time at Cardiff in
2004 and succeeded Tana Umaga on a permanent basis when the
centre retired after the 2005 Grand Slam tour.
He eclipsed Fitzpatrick's record of 51 tests as captain in
September against the Wallabies in Sydney, a contest
Fitzpatrick said personified McCaw's mana and coolness under
The All Blacks fought back from 9-22 inside the final 10
minutes to snatch a one-point victory, thanks in part to
McCaw's try from an admittedly dubious scrum move.
The last-gasp 29-22 win in Soweto, where McCaw also
contributed a vital late try, also resonated with the former
"Richie is just leading by example, with the way he has
captained the team this year, especially in the tests in
Soweto and Sydney," he said.
McCaw said it would be an honour to eventually surpass
"I was at secondary school when he was playing in his prime,
I used to watch with awe," he said.
"You always knew when he was out on the field."
The pair meet intermittently, they had a brief catch-up
before the Soweto test against Springboks in August.
"He's a good man to have a yarn to, we've been through a fair
few similar experiences," McCaw said.
All Blacks coach Graham Henry, who coached Fitzpatrick at
Auckland and the Blues, reckoned his former and current
captain were cut from the same black cloth.
"They're very similar characters, they are very focused in
being the best they can be and they work particularly hard to
achieve that," Henry said.
"Fitzy's a special character. He's one of the great All Black
"He was respected by the rest of the (rugby) world. He was a
colossus really.
"It was just a pity his knee gave way and he had to give the
game away because no doubt he would have played 100-plus test

Hannah Arendt and the Political Dangers of Emotion
By Johannes Lang
"Whatever the passions and the emotions may be, and whatever their true connection with thought and reason, they certainly are located in the human heart. And not only is the human heart a place of darkness which, with certainty, no human eye can penetrate; the qualities of the heart need darkness and protection against the light of the public to grow and to remain what they are meant to be, innermost motives which are not for public display."
–Hannah Arendt, On Revolution (1963)
Since September 11, 2001, historians and social scientists have rediscovered the political relevance of emotion. In the current climate of war and terror, public discussion is suffused with references to fear, hatred, and patriotism. But what are the moral and political consequences when such passions enter the public sphere? One of the most famous political thinkers of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt, worried about the entry of emotion into politics. She scolded the French revolutionaries for having been carried away by their compassion for the poor and praised the American Founding Fathers for their aloof commitment to universal ideals and for their detached attitude to the suffering masses. Emotions may be important as subjective motives for individual action, Arendt granted, but they should neither be aired in public nor be made the basis for collective action. Emotions disfigure politics; political movements should be based on rational argument, not passion. Yet, as Volker Heins has pointed out, there was one thing Arendt feared more than the intrusion of emotions into politics: a politics completely devoid of emotion. The "ice-cold reasoning" and bureaucratic rationality she discerned behind the Holocaust was infinitely more terrifying than any other political pathology known to man. Arendt's deep ambivalence toward emotions confronts us with a fundamental question: What is the proper place of emotion in politics?
Hannah Arendt and Yiddish
"German Jewry, like Western European Jewry in general, never understood that the simple person is the true center of politics in all democratically governed countries.
And this is also the reason why German Jews often do not understand the just national aspirations of the Jewish people [folk]. Most do not know at all what a people [folk] really is and what it wants. The most beautiful Hebrew in the world will not teach them that. Let the German Jews learn to respect simple person [poshete mentshn], in general, and the simple Jew [yiddishe folks-mentsh], in particular – and then you will be able to speak to them about Jewish politics in all the languages of the world."
These are the closing words of an op-ed written by Hannah Arendt in November 1942 for the New York Yiddish daily Morgen Zshurnal. The short piece is a response to an account of recent conflicts between German and Hebrew speakers in the Jewish settlement in Palestine (the Yishuv) written by Aaron Zeitlin, a Yiddish author and regular contributor to the newspaper.
It is, by all evidence, Arendt's only Yiddish-language publication. (A year earlier, in December 1941, the News Bulletin of the "Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs" published a Yiddish translation of Arendt's first Aufbau op-ed, "The Jewish Army – The Beginning of Jewish Politics?" But the Morgen Zshurnal piece seems to be the only one that Arendt published exclusively in Yiddish.) Arendt's Yiddish voice is both familiar and surprising, and, as I shall sketch very briefly here, her exchange with Zeitlin fascinatingly prefigures significant moments in Arendt's thinking and her dialogue with others later in life, for example her exchange with Gershom Scholem about Eichmann in Jerusalem.
In the fall of 1942, tensions between immigrants from Nazi Germany and the veteran Zionist community of the Yishuv had reached a violent peak with the bombing of a press in Jerusalem, which had been printing a German-language newspaper. Zeitlin bases his account of the event, and of the political atmosphere that led up to it, on a report by Menachem Ben Eliezer, which appeared in October in the Hebrew newspaper Hadoar, published in New York by the Hebrew Federation of America. The Hebrew reporter and the Yiddish commentator both blame the German Jews, known as "Yekkes," for failing to assimilate into the society of the Yishuv and, especially, for obstinately refusing to learn Hebrew. In Zeitlin's words, the German Jews are not patriotic because they lack a love of Israel ("ahavat Israel" or, in Yiddish, "ahaves Yisroel").
Arendt, described in the byline as "a well-known German-Jewish writer and Zionist activist" who, "in 1935, visited the Land of Israel, where she spent three months and had the opportunity to get to know the Yishuv and the new immigration (Aliyah)," responds to the accusations ambivalently. Outraged by the violent act of the Hebrew purists of the Yishuv, she nevertheless concedes that the failure of German Jews to understand the simple Jews of Eastern Europe and their justified national aspirations is a problem.
The brief op-ed piece thus reveals a fascinating moment in the development of Arendt's identity and her political affinities. Having recently arrived as a refugee from Europe, Arendt was writing for the German-language Aufbau and would soon start publishing in English-language publications such as Partisan Review and Nation. But her attention was evidently also devoted to publications such as Morgen Zshurnal and their Yiddish-speaking readership. As Thomas Wild has recently argued on this website, Arendt's career would continue to move productively between German and English, for example when she substantially revised the English The Human Condition to produce the German Vita Activa.
And even after this brief stint, the Yiddish language did not disappear from her writing entirely, as I briefly mention below. She would also find opportunities to reflect publicly on issues of language choice, for example in her 1948 dedication of the German book Sechs Essays to her friend and mentor Karl Jaspers, where she explains the difficulty and the necessity of writing and publishing in her native language. But this Yiddish op-ed – written in a language that she had studied as an adult and that was rapidly moving aside to make space for English, not only in her mind but also in the American-Jewish public sphere – is probably the only statement that Arendt made about Jewish language politics.
Interestingly, at this juncture in her own linguistic affiliations, Arendt insists that the battle over languages is a political red herring. "Unlike Herr Zeitlin," she writes, "I am of the opinion that the entire education and psychology of the world could not successfully separate people from their mother tongue […]. It is a process of a generation or two, and in America we have the best proof of that." Instead of focusing on the struggle between the languages, Arendt points her readers in two different directions. The piece opens, in a familiarly sarcastic tone, with an expression of Arendt's interest in Jewish militancy as a form of political response to the current crisis (an interest that was expressed in her contemporary writing for Aufbau): "I am of the opinion that it would be better for the Yishuv to boycott German merchandise rather than the German language, and that the hotheads would do better to save the bombs for Rommel's soldiers rather than to use them against the Jews for their German language." But it ends on a different note, with a vision of a post-Babelian politics that grows out of solidarity with the simple people. If the German Jews only understood what a true Jewish "folks-mentsh" is, the conversation could transcend linguistic divisions and one would be "able to speak to them about Jewish politics in all the languages of the world."
As Elizabeth Young-Bruehl describes in her biography and as evidenced also in the early correspondence with Heinrich Blücher, Arendt had studied Yiddish with her friend Chanan Klenbort in Paris. But in the absence of further information about the composition process – was the piece written in German and translated into Yiddish? Or did a native speaker aid Arendt, in the way that friends such as Randall Jarrell and Alfred Kazin later helped her with her English? – one can only speculate about the significance of the highly Germanic style of the Yiddish in which the piece is written or of word choices such as "folks-mentsh" and "posheter mentsh." Reading Arendt in Yiddish can feel like a glimpse through a door to an alternative history. What would have been the circumstances – in Arendt's own intellectual development, in the history of the Jews – that would have compelled her to keep writing in Yiddish? Would the Yiddish version of The Human Condition have placed the "posheter mentsh" at the center of politics? In other words, the Yiddish op-ed focuses our view on Arendt's preoccupations and her transformation during her early years in the United States. It also sharpens questions that have already been raised in relation to her writing for Aufbau: Does the writing of this period prepare the ground for her later philosophical and political work? And if it does, how should we describe this ground? Or does the shift of her positions on Zionism rather constitute a break in her thinking?
It is easy to see the continuity between the criticism Arendt expresses here and her sharp critique of German Jewry in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem. But there are other, far more uncanny, linguistic continuities, not only in Arendt's own writing but also in her dialogues and polemics with others. In his famous response to the Eichmann book, Gershom Scholem echoes Zeitlin – most probably unwittingly – when he laments Arendt's lack of "Ahabath Israel" (as Scholem rather Germanically transcribes the Hebrew expression). Arendt seems to hear that echo when she inserts in her reply to Scholem's letter a parenthetical inquiry about the history of the term: "I would, by the way, be very thankful if you could tell me since when this concept plays a role in the Hebrew language and scripture, when it first appears, etc." Indeed, the echo seems to conjure up in Arendt elements of her original response to Zeitlin, and so she returns to the same simple person she had once hoped that German Jewry could listen to, in Yiddish or in "all the languages of the world." Thus, when she attempts to defend her (to many readers indefensible) position on Jewish collaboration with the Nazis, she explains to Scholem: "There was no possibility of resistance, but there was a possibility of doing nothing. And in order to do nothing, one need not have been a saint, but rather one needed simply to say: I am a simple Jew (ein poscheter Jude) and I do not want to be more than that."
The Yiddish was excised from the German version that was published by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung in October 1963 (where it was replaced by "einfacher Jude") and from the English translation published in Encounter in December 1964 (which refers to "a Simple Jew"). The act of self-censorship is probably as revealing as Arendt's use of the term itself.
Arendt's brief foray into Yiddish journalism also has a fascinating postscript on the pages of the Morgen Zshurnal (or rather its continuation Der Tog Morgen Zshurnal). As Richard I. Cohen has described, in 1965 the newspaper carried Aaron Zeitlin's raging response to Arendt's Eichmann book, a response in which he described her as the agent of the devil. Zeitlin does not explicitly mention his previous disagreement with Arendt, indeed, he conspicuously avoids mentioning her by name. But, in its emphasis on Arendt's misnaming of Eichmann when she describes him as a "grey, simple (posheter) average person," his vitriolic attack can be read as a response to Arendt's polemic twenty-three years earlier

Kohl Sudduth began as a writer at Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism before devoting himself to the flourishing mid-90's DIY hardcore punk scene. He founded the post-punk band Edison, writing songs, playing guitar, singing a little and screaming a lot. He then turned his attention to acting, performing in various black box productions of new plays around campus.
Upon graduating with a B.A. in English, he moved to New York City to commit himself to acting. Work came quickly with small parts in "Illuminata", "Sex and the City", "54" and "Rounders" among others before landing a strong supporting role in the Steve Martin film "Bowfinger". This breakout role led to work as a series regular on the critically acclaimed TV show "Grosse Pointe". In addition to appearing in such films as "Road Trip", "Table One", "The Banger Sisters" and "The Notorious Bettie Paige", he made guest appearances on "Law & Order: SVU" and "Law & Order: CI" . He also played opposite Regina Taylor in the PBS/Masterpiece Theater film "Cora Unashamed". He's known for his recurring role as Officer "Suitcase" Simpson in the long-running Jesse Stone series of TV movies on CBS. He recently appeared with Jonah Hill in the upcoming Rupert Goold film "True Story" and opposite Bridget Moynihan on "Blue Bloods." He also had a supporting role Jayce Bartok's award-winning film "Fall To Rise".
Kohl works extensively in theater, originating roles in the Tony Award winning play "Take Me Out", Stephen Adly Guirgis' seminal hit "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" playing opposite Sam Rockwell and directed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and as the lead in Cusi Cram's "Radiance". He engaged in rigorous conservatory training with Maggie Flanigan with whom he continues to work to this day.
As a writer, his plays have received workshops and readings as part of the LAB's Barn Series at the Public Theater, the LAB's Summer Intensives and many others. He trained extensively as a writer under the guiding mentorship of Cusi Cram and Brett C. Leonard. In addition to writing, he has developed numerous new plays as a director and actor as a member of the LAByrinth Theater Company. He wrote, produced, and acted in the forthcoming short film "The Empty Street" directed by Snorri Sturluson, shot in Red Hook, Brooklyn. He continues to write, develop, shoot, and edit new work.
For some years, Kohl has studied the shakuhachi in the Dokyoku-style with accomplished master Marco Lienhard. He also makes shakuhachi under Perry Yung at Yungflutes. He trains Xing Yi Quan under Tom Bisio. He is also a longtime student in the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism, training first with John Daido Loori, Roshi and currently with his successor Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Sensei.

Muscles of the Face
The muscles of the face are made up of striated muscle tissue and are just below the skins surface. The facial muscles are what give humans the ability to make facial expressions. These muscles mainly begin at the bone and then insert into the skin. The muscles of the face are innerverted by the VII cranial nerve which is also known as the facial nerve. The facial nerve is one of the twelve paired nerves of the cranium. This nerve is what help us to move our facial muscles enabling the ability to make facial expressions. All of the muscles of the face have different affects on the face and the expression.

Major Muscles of the Face:
Frontalis Muscle:
The frontalis muscle of the face runs vertically from the hair line and inserts just above the eyebrows. When you contract your frontalis muscle your eyebrows raise creating wrinkles in the forehead. If you contract your medial frontalis only the medial part of the eyebrow contracts, and if you contract your outer frontalis only the lateral part of the eyebrow will contract.
The procerus originates in the upper nasal region of the face and fans into the center of the forehead. This muscle pulls the skin of the center forehead down. This forms transverse wrinkles in the bridge of the nose forming what is known as the champion pucker.
Nasalis Muscle:
The nasalisis muscle is composed of two parts the compressor and the dilator. The compressor constricts the nostrils and the dilator allows the nostrils to flare. Both muscles originate in the upper jaw and insert into the cartilage of the nose.
Depressor Septii:
The depressor septii is a very small muscle in the upper lip which originates in the upper jaw bone and inserts into the septum of the nose. This muscle is responsible for lowering the septum and nostril wings as well as reshaping the nostrils.
Orbicularis Oculi:
The obicularis oculi surrounds the eye and is responsible for the opening and closing of the eye. This muscle is also responsible in the important process of moisturizing the eye as well as protection.
|photo courtesy of flick.com
The corrugator muscle is located at the inner orbit of the eye and is responsible for pulling the skin of the inner eyebrow downward and medially to the center of the face. This muscle is what allows the face to make the facial expressions of grief and sadness because of the frown it produces in the eyebrow and forehead.
Depressor Supercilii:
The depressor supercilii is disputed over as to its nature. Anatomists believe this muscle is a part of the muscles surrounding the eye, while many doctors of the facial field (i.e. dermatologists and plastic surgeons) believe it has a part in the contraction of the eyebrows. this muscle originates in the medial orbital rim and inserts into the medial part of the boney orbit.
Made up of three muscles which surround the outer ear:
Anterior Auricular Muscle: The smallest of the three fan shaped muscle of the outer ear.
Superior Auricular Muscle: The largest of the three muscles and converges into the upper part of the cranial surface.
Posterior Auricular Muscle: Made up two to three fasciculi which originate in a portion of the temporal bone and also inserted into the lower part of the cranial surface.
Orbicularis Oris:
The orbicularis oris surrounds the mouth and makes up much of the tissue in the lips. This muscle is very important in controlling the shape and size of the mouth as well as the control. This muscle is what allows us to create lip positions for speech. The obicularis oris is also known as the "kisser" because it is the muscle used while kissing.
Depressor Anguli Oris:
The depressor anguli oris is made up of converging fibers which form the angle of the mouth, and is what enables us to make a frowning face.
The risorius originates in the masseter and inserts int he corners of the mouth. This muscle allows us to stretch our face laterally and produce a grin or smile but does not use the muscles around the eye.
|photo courtesy of flickr.com
Zygomatic Major:
The zygomatic major originates in the cheek bone and inserts into the corners of the mouth. This muscle allows us to produce a genuine smile instead of what is known as a "lying smile". This muscle uses the muscles surrounding the eye (obicularis oris) to produce a genuine smile.
Zygomatic Minor:
The zygomatic minor originates in the lateral part of the cheek bones and inserts into the skin in the upper lip. This muscle allows the lip to move upward and laterally.
Levator Labii Superior:
The levator labii superior is located in the upper lip and cheek. It is made up of a lateral part and a nasal part. The lateral part allows us to raise are upper lip straight up and the nasal part is responsible for raising the lip, stretching the wing, and wrinkling the nose.
Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi:
The LLSAN originates in the maxilla and inserts into the upper part of the lip. This muscle is what enables us to snarl and many times is known as the "Elvis Muscle" as he was a perfectionist at this facial expression.
Depressor Labii Inferioris:
The depressor labii inferioris originates in mandible part of the chin and then inserts into the lower part of the lip. This muscle is responsible in pulling the lower part of the lip down, baring the teeth, and creating an expression of irony in the face.
The buccinator originates in the maxilla and mandible and then inserts into many region of the corners of the mouth. This muscle acts in compressing our cheeks and creating dimples. Its main function is to keep food in where it is to be masticated by our teeth.
Mentalis: The mentalis muscle is used when making the facial expression of thinking and of concentrating. It originates in the mandible and inserts into the skin located on the chin.
Cool fact:It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown.

I'm trying to automatically insert <!--nextpage--> into all posts after a certain word count. Seems like it should be easy, but it's not.
(AJAXed WordPress seems to be the only plugin that provides a similar functionality to what I need, but in order to use it you have to deal with the other 95 things that plug-in does and I'm trying to avoid that.)
Before you tell me that nextpage is bad for usability or I shouldn't breakup pages mid-sentence: I know. I need to do it anyway.
I'm a reasonably good coder so if you just want to point me in the right direction with a php snippet or something, that'd be great. I'm just hitting a brick wall here.

Poems Are Made from words. But not quite as walls are made from bricks. Bricks are durable and insensitive. They are, moreover, made for building. But words—some simply do not look right on the printed page; others are not suited to the metrical scheme; others are too lofty or too lowly for the poet's purpose:

The objective of this paper is to address the smart innovation ecosystem characteristics that elucidate the assembly of all smart city notions into green, interconnected, instrumented, open, integrated, intelligent, and innovating layers composing a planning framework called, Smart City Reference Model. Since cities come in different shapes and sizes, the model could be adopted and utilized in a range of smart policy paradigms that embrace the green, broadband, and urban economies. These paradigms address global sustainability challenges at a local context. Smart city planners could use the reference model to define the conceptual layout of a smart city and describe the smart innovation characteristics in each one of the six layers. Cases of smart cities, such as Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam are examined to evaluate their entirety in relation to the Smart City Reference Model.

Computer communication networks and telecommunication systems are growing at an explosive rate. Some of the major factors influencing this phenomenal growth rate have been technology driven, deregulation of the telecommunication industry and the breakup of AT&T, product and service introductions and competition, new application areas, price reductions and improved services. Corporations have discovered how to use telecommunication-based systems and computer networks as a strategic competitive weapon. Modern computer networks consist of backbone networks which serve as major highways to transfer large volumes of communication traffic, and local access networks which feed traffic between the backbone network and end user nodes. The design of the local access network is a complex process which builds on many difficult combinatorial optimization problems. This paper surveys many of the problems, presents the state of the art in solving them, and demonstrates a variety of solution procedures. The paper concludes with a list of open problems and areas open for further investigation.

Foodnet Meals on Wheels mission is to provide meals and other nutrition services that promote dignity,
well being and independence for older adults and other persons in need in
Tompkins County.
Our Vision
We envision a Tompkins County community in which senior hunger is
eliminated, supportive services are readily accessible, and our
neighbors enjoy independence without isolation.

Foodnet Meals on
Wheels on Facebook to see our latest photos and announcements
Our Beginnings
In Ithaca, delivery of hot meals to shut-ins was started in 1967 by a
volunteer group of local church women. In 1974, a congregate meal
program called the Tompkins County Nutrition Program for the Elderly was
established, authorized under the Older Americans Act and funded through
the Tompkins County Office for the Aging. Cornell Cooperative Extension
of Tompkins County and The Salvation Army operated the program in the
early years. The program grew and became an independent non-profit
organization named Foodnet in 1987; organized by a group of concerned
citizens to provide congregate and home delivered meals and to promote
independent living. The local Meals on Wheels program was consolidated
under Foodnet Meals on Wheels in December 2000.
- A Critical Service
Adequate nutrition is essential for healthy aging, the
prevention or delay of chronic disease and disease-related disabilities, and for
improved quality of life. Yet poor nutrition is a major problem for many older
adults. Almost 90 per cent have a nutrition-related chronic disease or condition
such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis. About 40
per cent of community dwelling older adults have inadequate food and nutrient
intake, which affects their health and ability to function independently.
Meals on Wheels mission is to meet these needs.
Foodnet Meals on Wheels provides nutrition services to older adults
throughout Tompkins County. Meals in community centers improve participants'
health and prevent more costly interventions. Meals on Wheels enable older adults to avoid or delay costly
institutionalization and allow them to stay in their homes or communities. Other
services include nutrition screening, assessment, education, and nutrition
counseling. The purposes of these programs are to improve health, improve
dietary intakes, offer participants opportunities to form new friendships,
encourage informal support systems, and link participants to other health and
supportive services.

Malawi, 15 October 2012: Compulsory universal birth registration protects children from abuses and opens access to social services
By Suzanne Beukes
LILONGWE, Malawi, 15 October 2012 - Newborn Joshou Nandola is bundled warmly in a big woolly blanket. Joshou's name is written on his birth report. Joshou will know his birthday.
Joshou's mother Justina Nandola has waited in line with other mothers who had just given birth to make sure that he would have this piece of vital information, which will prove he is a citizen of Malawi. "This is very important because other people know where one comes from because of that passport," she says.
Birth registration protects children
According to the 2008 population census, the Government of Malawi estimates that about 16.6 percent of children under the age of 18 have a birth certificate.
Without a birth certificate, children are at higher risk of such abuses as child trafficking and early marriage. They are also most likely to have limited access to social services such as healthcare, and an education.
UNICEF Malawi Child Protection Officer Martin Nkuna explains, "There are many children that are in child labour, there are many children on the streets, there are many children that are disposed-of property once their parents die, and to enforce the rights of these children, it requires their identification that they are indeed children."
The path to requiring registration
Malawi's compulsory universal birth registration process started in early 2012 at the Bwaila Hospital in the capital, Lilongwe, where some 40 to 60 babies are born every day. From March to September, over 3,000 babies received birth reports.
Through support from UNICEF, this programme will soon be rolled out to other parts of the country.
Overcoming challenges to the programme
Expanding the programme is not easy. There are logistical and cultural barriers to its implementation. "In Malawi, by tradition, it is difficult to give a name by a newly born baby," says Health Information Clerk at Bwaila Hospital Raphael Munkhondia.
To address the challenges, the birth registration process is integrated early – into antenatal and immunization programmes. From the time a woman starts receiving antenatal care, she is encouraged to think of a name for her child.
After she's given birth, a mother can acquire a birth report during her postnatal check-ups or when she reports for the baby's first immunizations.
Malawi has made much progress in reducing the mortality rate for children under 5 years old, which dropped by 64 percent between 1990 and 2011. As the birth registration programme is implemented together with other initiatives, more children born in Malawi stand a better chance of growing up healthy.

In spite of all the good press and positive buzz surrounding the Chicago Blackhawks, it appears the chaos DNA has not yet been eradicated from the franchise's makeup.
At least that's what the shocking dismissal of coach Denis Savard -- less than 24 hours after coaching the Blackhawks to their first victory of the season -- suggests at first blush.
Joel Quenneville, the highly respected former St. Louis and Colorado bench boss, becomes the fifth coach to stand behind the Blackhawks' bench since the start of the 2000-01 season.
Suddenly, the feeling that this franchise had turned a corner and was ready to return to elite status, on and off the ice, is on hold. Make no mistake, the firing of Savard four games into this season means the stakes are suddenly very high.
If Quenneville cannot get the team playing at a level that everyone thinks is appropriate, what then? Or rather, who's next?
Because, rest assured, if the Blackhawks sputter, Savard's head won't be the only one to roll. Sources close to the team, and more removed, believe the management team could look considerably different by the end of the season if the Blackhawks don't play well.
Ultimately, there are two lenses through which this situation can be viewed.
On the positive side, if the management team -- a group that now includes legendary coach Scotty Bowman, Bowman's son, Stan, who is an assistant GM, assistant GM Rick Dudley and president John McDonough -- believed in their heart of hearts that Savard was not the guy to get this team back to contender status, then good on them for having the conviction to make a hard, not to mention contentious, decision.
The Blackhawks watched their season-ticket base jump from 3,500 a year ago to almost 14,000 this season. All of their games are on television. The league is buzzing about their renaissance. They need their play on the ice to match those external expectations, and if management didn't think Savard could deliver, then they needed to make a change.
Given the new voices in the management team, perhaps it simply took longer than one might have imagined to get everyone on the same page. Imagine a great ship trying to turn itself in a narrow stream. GM Dale Tallon told ESPN.com on Thursday before Quenneville was announced as Chicago's new coach that the group had decided as a whole to make the change and that decision had been made before Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Phoenix.
The problem is, there was little to point to in Savard's résumé to suggest he wasn't doing a good job, or at least a job that didn't suggest a firing was imminent.
Last season, he took a young team that was hit by potentially crippling injuries and kept them in the hunt. He was without Jonathan Toews for six weeks. He was without Martin Havlat for the last two-thirds of the season. They battled through inconsistent goaltending. Still, the Blackhawks stayed close, finishing just three points out of the playoffs.
Which brings us to the second lens through which this coaching change can be viewed, the one that suggests this is a team that hasn't been able to shake its history of shooting itself in the foot, both on the ice and in the eyes of a public that is just now starting to re-embrace the team after more than a decade of indifference.
Observers -- some close to the team, some not -- question the timing of the move. The Blackhawks, while not off to a rocket start, were a respectable 1-2-1 with three points in their last two games.
The fact Savard wasn't given a contract extension suggested this very fate might befall the former Blackhawks great. Then, when Quenneville was suggested to Tallon as a scout by director of pro scouting Marc Bergevin, who played for Quenneville in St. Louis, it seemed to many the writing was on the wall.
There were whispers that Quenneville's presence at the Hawks' training camp was a signal that changes were afoot and that time was running out on Savard regardless of what strides he may have made with the squad last season or how well the team started.
Tallon told ESPN.com on Thursday there was never any master plan to hire Quenneville as coach when the Windsor native signed on to do some scouting.
"It's the truth," Tallon said. "Marc Bergevin, our director of pro scouting, called me and said he had spoken with Joel. He said, 'Would you want Joel to scout some games for us?' He was friends with Joel, played for him. And I said, 'How can you say no? It's a win-win for us.' Regardless if he were working for us, he would have been the No. 1 candidate if we did this."
Regardless of what machinations were at play before Thursday, the simple fact is the stakes are now immeasurably higher for all those involved with the team.
The pressure is on Quenneville, a coach with a tremendous track record of getting teams to the postseason but not beyond a conference final, to get the Blackhawks firing on all cylinders.
If the team responds to Quenneville and makes good on its significant promise, what with the additions of Brian Campbell and Cristobal Huet, and the presence of Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith, then this moment might be seen as a watershed event, a turning point even, in the history of the franchise.
If he can't, then this will become just another misguided decision by a team doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Worse, it will be the kind of decision that could undo all of the good things that have taken place in and around this franchise over the past year.

The colors of the printed document or image do not match the Windows or
Macintosh computer screen, or they are too dark, or printing with too much red.
What can I do?
Brother strongly
recommends that customers use only genuine Brother drum units and/or toner
cartridges. Each Brother laser printer is designed to work at pre-set
temperatures that are matched exactly to each of our individual toner
formulations. Each individual component is designed to work with the other
to ensure quality and reliability. Using non-Brother supplies may affect the
hardware performance, print quality, and machine reliability. The Brother
limited warranty does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of
third party drum units, toner cartridges, or toner.
Computer monitors
display color as RGB (red, green, and blue). A monitor can display millions of
colors. The color laser machine uses a 4 color printing process of CMYK (cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black). The Brother machine uses these 4 colors to create
as many colors as possible.
What we see on a
computer monitor is emitted light. What we see on a printed document is
reflected light. Due to this difference, we cannot get a 100% accurate match.
The nature of both types of light and how our eyes react makes color matching
between them a bit of a challenge. Even LCD monitors are different from CRT
monitors, as the brightness and contrast differ greatly.
The paper
brightness and smoothness will affect the colors you see printed on the page.
The colors you see on the page may look different in natural light, soft white
light, and fluorescent light.
The steps below
will help you get the best color quality out of your Brother machine.
1. Verify toner save
mode is turned off. When you set the toner save feature to on, print appears
2. Once the display
returns to "Ready", print a document from your computer.
If the print
quality of the document that you printed from the computer is good, the issue is
If the colors are
still not printing correctly, continue to the next step.
3. The output density
for each color may vary depending on the machine's environment, temperature, and
humidity. Calibration and registration helps improve the color density and
4. Once the display
returns to "Ready", print a document from your computer.
5. Verify the toner
cartridges are installed in correct slots.
Failure to completely open the top cover when removing and installing
consumables may cause severe damage to the machine. The top cover is completely
open when the cover locks in place and does not require support from you.
If the drum and
toner cartridge assemblies are not in correct slot, then remove the toner and
drum cartridge assembly by grasping the center of the drum and toner assembly
and pulling it straight up and install it in the correct slot.
6. Once the display
returns to "Ready", print a document from your computer.
7. Run color
calibration in the printer driver. Follow the instructions for your operating
For instructions, refer to: How
do I open the Printers folder in Windows?
Only when the latest calibration data is available, the Use Calibration
data checkbox will be checked.
For instructions, refer to: How
do I open Print & Scan in Macintosh OS X?
b. Select your Brother
machine model name and click the Open Print Queue button.
c. Click the
Settings button (for Macintosh OS 10.8 or greater) or Printer Setup
button (for Macintosh OS 10.6 - 10.7).
d. Click the
Utility tab and Open Printer Utility button.
f. Click OK to
start the color calibration. It may take 2 minutes.
g. The printer driver
will collect the latest color calibration data from your Brother machine. After
getting the data, click OK.
8. Print a document
from your computer.
If the colors are
still not printing correctly, continue to the next step.
9. Check the settings
within the application you are using. It may have options to adjust the color.
Certain programs have their own settings that could potentially override the
machine settings, which will affect color matching. If the problem persists
contact your program or software vendor for assistance.
10. Try making
adjustments to the printer driver. The printer driver provides a host of
adjustments that can be made to resolution, hue, color, saturation, etc. This is
usually accessed from the File => Print option when you are about to print a
document. The printer driver usually has a properties, preferences, or setup
button that provides access to these adjustments. The exact location varies with
the application being used. You may need to consult your application
documentation for details.
11. Try changing the
color profile settings of the printer driver. The color profile is used by the
operating system and the machine to create the best possible match between the
image on the computer screen and the image that is printed. Again, the location
varies with the operating system that is used. You may need to consult the
operating system documentation for details.
12. Postscript drivers
often do a better job at reproducing graphics and images. It does so, however,
at the expense of speed. Postscript drivers take a significantly longer time to
process images. You can install the BR-Script3 driver from the Brother CD-ROM or
download from the Brother web site http://solutions.brother.com.
13. Try changing the
Color Mode in the printer driver. Follow the instructions for your operating
a. Open the Printers
b. Right mouse click
on the Brother machine and select Printing Preferences from the
c. For Document
Type, select Manual from the drop-down list. Click on the
Settings button.
Uncheck Improve Gray Color. Click OK.
Click Apply and OK again.
f. For Color Mode you can choose from Normal,
Vivid, Auto, or None.
g. Click on the Settings button to manually adjust the
individual settings for Brightness, Contrast, Red, Green, Blue, and
Saturation. Click OK.
h. Try printing your document with various settings to achieve the desired
output. If the problem continues, go to STEP
Macintosh OS 10.7
or greater: Click the Show
Details button to the bottom to expand the Print window.
Macintosh OS
10.6.8: Click the blue
down arrow to the right of the printer name to expand the Print window.
g. Uncheck Improve Gray Color. Click OK.
h. Manually adjust the individual settings for Brightness, Contrast, Red, Green,
Blue, and Saturation. You may need to try printing your document with various
settings to achieve the desired output.
After you
change any settings, if you want to save the current settings, you will need to
save it as a preset. Refer to the following solution if needed - How
do I save the printer driver settings as a preset in Macintosh OS
j. Click on Print to print your document. You may need to try printing
your document with various settings to achieve the desired output.
If the problem
continues, continue to the next step.
14. While these
adjustments may make a significant difference in color matching the effect will
be general and will change the output of everything being printed. Please keep
in mind that an exact match may not be possible.
You should
