A car that was reported stolen in Elk Grove was discovered by two fishermen Tuesday morning submerged in the Sacramento River, the California Highway Patrol said.
The car, a silver Cadillac, is believed to have been left with its engine running in an Elk Grove driveway when it was taken, an officer said.
The stolen vehicle report came in around 9 a.m. Tuesday.
About two hours later, the car was found dumped into the river north of West Sacramento on the Yolo County side.

Today, $20 milk covers less margin
Today, $20 milk covers less margin
by Gary Sipiorski
The author is the dairy development manager for Vita Plus of Madison, Wis. He is a member of the board of directors with Citizens State Bank of Loyal, Wis.
It was not too many years ago that dairy farmers' eyes would glaze over when someone would start a rumor about $20 milk. Based on the current Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) quotes (as I write this column), Class III $20 milk is showing up once again.
And now, as Paul Harvey would say, "here is the rest of the story!" What was not imagined in the past was how expenses and inflation would erode milk checks. The figure shows milk prices going back to 1976. You will notice a lack of volatility in the 1970s and early 1980s because the milk price was closer to parity. This meant milk prices provided a generous margin over the cost of production (COP).
In that era, there also was a milk support price of $13.50. Jimmy Carter was elected president in 1976 and Walter Mondale, a Minnesotan, was vice-president. During the presidential campaign, they promised the dairy industry a 50-cent boost in the price of milk every six months. They kept their promise. Maybe my grandmother was right when she would say, "those were the good old days."
The figure gives an interesting picture of what dairy producers have seen and felt. The upward sloping line in the figure indicates the rising COP. It is a trend line. The actual COP fluctuates more. As you move to the right as years progress, the COP keeps $20 milk from giving dairy producers a large margin. The good news is to complete the chart in mid-2011 the market is moving to and beyond the $20 pay price line.
What can you do?
"Average feed cost per hundredweight is driven by three factors: marginal cost of milk production and production level, cost of maintenance of the cow, and all of those feed management factors," notes University of Minnesota's John Fetrow.
The table puts some numbers behind that quote. It highlights daily milk production at 25-pound intervals and compares that production to a variety of costs. The final calculation which contains the take-home message gives income over feed costs.The message is pretty clear: blatant cost cutting does not work. To reduce the feed cost per 100 pounds of milk (cwt.), additional production is crucial.
There is another important message. If you feed for a production level, you must obtain it. Let's face it, if it were that simple, everyone would produce over 100 pounds of milk per cow. Being on top of cow comfort, breeding, health, feeding, and other management factors makes proper feeding work. In general, the dairies that get ahead financially understand the message: Production is the key.
It is even more important than ever to constantly monitor cost of production and to maximize milk production. If market positions are going to be taken, it is absolutely necessary to know the true COP. Sure, $20 milk is important in today's world, but $20 is not what it once was for our industry.

In the end, all that mattered to me was that fans were happy they spent their money on a ticket and that I put on the best match possible. Jimmy Superfly Snuka
Some pro wrestlers live for the fame. Some live for the fortune.
Jimmy Superfly Snuka lived for the danger.
The enduring image of Jimmy Snuka diving off the top of a 15-foot steel cage is one that Mick Foley will never forget. Foley was one of thousands in attendance that night in 1983 at Madison Square Garden when Snuka made the unforgettable leap.
That breathtaking flight from the cage to the mat would change the face of pro wrestling forever.
It also would provide Foley, a teenager at the time, with the impetus and inspiration to become a future generations Evel Knievel of the squared circle.
With his innovative, daredevil style of wrestling, Snuka helped reshape the look of the game, and had a profound influence on future performers such as The Hardy Boyz, Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio.
Thirty years later, Snuka looks back at his life and his career in a new book titled Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story (Triumph, $24.95).
With an introduction by Foley and foreword by Roddy Piper, the 213-page bio, co-written with Jon Chattman, is candid and, at times, brutally honest.
Snuka, now nearing the age of 70, doesnt gloss over the more sordid aspects of his life, readily acknowledging the cheating, drinking and drugging that accompanied life on the road.
He openly talks about his cocaine addiction, his infidelity and his disparate feelings toward WWE owner Vince McMahon.
One gets the sense that Snuka, despite his failures, would go down the same path if given the chance to do it over again.
Ive been a bad boy trying to be a good man my whole life, Snuka says in the book.
What cant be denied is that Snuka was a major player in the wrestling business for a number of years.
He was fortunate enough to find himself at the center of two of wrestlings most-talked about events of the 80s. His famous leap from the top of the cage became a Kodak moment for fans of that era. An angle a year later when Piper smashed a coconut over Snukas head during a segment of Pipers Pit set WWE (then WWF) on fire.
I still get headaches thinking about that, brudda, laughs Snuka. It hurts my brain every time someone mentions that.
Snuka, the babyface, and Piper, the heel, were the perfect bookends for such an angle.
Despite his limited vocabulary, Snuka was able to get his point across without using an abundance of words. As Piper would later point out, it wasnt what Snuka said, but rather his ability to get over using his eyes and his emotions.
Playing up his jungle roots, Snuka was able to convey great expression through his heartfelt connection with the audience. It wasnt what he said, says Piper, the whole magic of Jimmy was his heart and soul.
As a babyface or heel, Snukas wild-eyed islander look could enthrall anyone paying attention.
I really wanted the fans to look at my eyes, says Snuka. Thats the way I talk. When I say something, my eyes change in different ways.
The two spent hours planning that famous edition of Pipers Pit where Hot Rod brought in pineapples, bananas and coconuts to make Snuka feel like he was back on the island.
I remember telling Roddy, This is it ... this is it. He didnt want to hit me hard. I told him if he didnt, I was going to turn around and hit him in the head with the coconut.
Snuka had no idea at the time that the coconut shot heard around the world would be talked about 30 years later.
But it was one heck of an idea. We sat down and talked about it and went over it. He thought I was kidding him. But I wasnt. It was a great angle.
As great as it was, says Snuka, the big blow-off match never materialized.
We never finished what we were supposed to finish up with. The whole thing was a buildup for me to go in the cage and splash him.
Snuka says hes still unsure why it never happened. They just stood us up. I dont know why.
Larger than life
Snuka was a survivor in a cold and unforgiving business that would chew up and spit out all but the toughest.
His upbringing prepared Snuka, born James Wiley Smith (since legally changed name to Snuka) in the Fiji Islands in 1943, for his future life as one of wrestlings greatest risk-takers.
A real-life Tarzan who spent more time cliff diving in his native Fiji Islands than he did learning how to read, Snuka was fearless and lived life to the max. He wanted to swing tree to tree like Tarzan, but he would end up swinging rope to rope in a wrestling ring.
With good looks and a chiseled-from-granite physique, he became a larger-than-life figure in the wrestling business.
While most grapplers of that era were making a living on the mat, Snuka was doing most of his best work above the ring, defying gravity in the process. The one-man highlight reel did so barefooted with leopard print tights and matching bandana.
His legendary finishing move, the Superfly Splash, had its roots back in the Pacific islands where Snuka dove off it steepest cliffs with the greatest of ease.
But with a limited vocabulary, unable to read or write, and a natural distrust for promoters, Snuka grew increasingly paranoid of those around him. He admits that it probably hurt him in the long run.
I was never ashamed to ask people for information. I always asked if they could write it down for me. It was a headache for me, but I managed.
Joining WWE in 1982 was a life-changing experience for Snuka.
I was ready then, brudda, he says. Snuka had been working in the Mid-Atlantic area for Crockett Promotions where he made a major impact. But the word had started getting around to New York. And thats when everything happened for me. It worked out very well.
Snuka speaks in glowing terms of his relationship with the late Vince McMahon Sr.
God bless him, but when Senior died and Junior took over, thats when everything started going differently for me, he says.
Snuka believes that some level of jealousy existed on the younger McMahons part. He points to a conversation he had with both McMahons and Andre The Giant shortly before the elder McMahons passing. He recalls McMahon Sr. telling his son to take care of Snuka and Andre.
Vince Sr. looked at Vinnie and said: Jimmy Snuka is just like a son to me. He (Vinnie) didnt like that. I was staring at him when his father said that. But bless him, brah, I still love him.
What could have been
Jimmy Snuka ran hard, even by pro wrestling standards.
He pulls no punches, however, talking about how his lifestyle was a big downfall in his never taking the next step in his career.
I know I made mistakes, but thats all said and done. Im OK now and back to my normal Superfly Jimmy Snuka self. Im happy and Im hanging in there.
At one time, he says, McMahon was considering putting him in the main event at Wrestlemania against Hulk Hogan. But Hogan, Snuka claims, didnt want to work with him.
He thought I was a crazy man, says Snuka. I didnt like how things worked out, but it was just one of those things.
Snuka served as a cornerman for Hogan and Mr. T when the duo faced Piper and Paul Orndorff at the first-ever Wrestlemania in 1985. Snuka feels he should have been in Ts spot for the main event. He still considers the snub a slap in the face.
God bless Mr. T, hes a good brudda, but he didnt know anything about wrestling, Snuka writes in his book. I just felt like it was payback, and started wondering what was going on. I should have been in the main event wrestling not just in a corner with Hogan.
Many friends agree that Snukas potential could have been unlimited. But, they add, McMahon simply couldnt trust Snuka at that point in the wrestlers career.
He was a hardcore partier prone to no-showing events.
When he was main-evening everywhere and he just wouldnt show up, it was hard for Vince to keep putting money into him, writes WWE Hall of Famer Tito Santana. I believe Vince had tried and tried and got tired with him. He was unreliable. Knowing Jimmy now, I think he realizes what drugs did to him.
Most of it was his doing, admits Snuka.
They promised I would be the main guy in the company, and then Hulk Hogan got all the attention. On the other hand, I had plenty of baggage of my own.
Former WWF champion Bob Backlund, one of Snukas greatest opponents, even refused to let Snuka get in his car because of Snukas involvement with drugs.
I was so very scared he had something in his bag, and if we were pulled over ... mentally I couldnt take that. I had made a lot of promises. Young people have always been very important to me, and I was very protective of my active life, and living up to what I said I was.
On an overseas tour of the Middle East, Snuka was caught with cocaine and jailed. His traveling partner, Rocky Johnson, eventually bailed him out. On another occasion, Snuka was caught with cocaine and sent to jail again. This time Johnson had to use his influence with a Saudi Arabian king to pull strings and free Snuka.
Everything just started to go down for me, says Snuka.
Snuka eventually left WWE, returned home to Hawaii, and quit the steroids and cocaine.
It was on the island that a teen-aged Snuka had first met wrestlers in Dean Higuchis gym and learned the art of professional wrestling.
I just had to take a little break and go home. I sat down with Vince and explained to him that I had to get away, says Snuka. I wasnt feeling good, things werent going well with me, and I asked him to sign my release so I could go home and relax. He cried and asked me to stay, but I told him to call me back in Hawaii later. He did eventually call me back and said hed put me right back on top.
Rocky relationships
Snuka enjoyed many highs during his wrestling career.
Outside the ring, though, life wasnt always so glamorous. There was drug abuse and personal tragedy. Womanizing was rampant, and Snuka shrugs it off as a by-product of that generation.
As with most wrestling couples in those days, marriages didnt last, and neither did Snukas relationship with the mother of his four children.
There was too much time on the road and not enough time at home. Family life suffered.
Snuka openly admits that he engaged in numerous relationships. There was infidelity on both sides, he says, and at times there was even physical violence.
We would fight and fight and fight, he says. She pressed all of my buttons.
The end, says Snuka, came about when he arrived home early one night and found his wife with another man.
We just went at it. She hit me with frying pans, her hands and whatever else she could throw at me. I tried not to, but I have to admit, I hit her. It wasnt hard just enough to stop her. We hit each other and I feel bad we did it with the kids in the house.
Shortly afterwards the two were divorced. He says it should have ended far earlier.
We rushed into marriage and stayed in it too long.
But, he adds, he always provided for his family financially.
I had four kids, and they were the most important thing to me.
One of his darkest hours still remains a mystery to many.
Although he was never charged with wrongdoing, a tragedy involving the death of a girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, in 1983 cast a pall over his career.
A section in the book gives Snukas account of the incident.
Many terrible things have been written about me hurting Nancy and being responsible for her death, but they are not true, Snuka writes. This has been very hard on me and very hard on my family ... I never hit Nancy or threatened her. I never wanted to harm her.
The incident, nonetheless, had a profound effect on Snuka.
That night ruined my life. If I was guilty of anything, it was cheating on my wife, and that was it ... Nancy was a good girl. I will never forget what happened to her.
Healing wounds
Snuka, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996, says he decided to write the book while recovering from surgery on an ankle that had plagued him for nearly 30 years.
The time off allowed him to reassess his life his highs, his lows, his failures and his regrets.
Its been bothering me after all those years of wrestling, and I finally had a good chance to take some time off almost a whole year to take care of it.
Im a bionic Superfly right now, he laughs. Im always ready to go, brah!
Even the passage of time, however, has not healed every wound.
Sometimes being trapped with my thoughts can be more painful than any injury Ive suffered in the ring, writes Snuka. But as I look back, I can also look ahead, and that takes the sting away.
He feels he can still contribute to the wrestling business and firmly believes that hes far from finished. He made a lot of money in the business, but says he still needs the work.
Hes had a couple of matches since recovering from surgery. He believes he can have more despite the years of wear and tear on his body.
Im not a negative guy about anything. I just go with the flow, he says.
He is proud of the fact that two of his children, James Jr. (former WWE performer Deuce) and Sarona (current WWE diva Tamina), have made their mark in the business.
Theyre very smart kids. They went to college. Theyve got it made. My daughters wrestling now and Jimmy wrestled before. Shes doing very well. Im very grateful for them.
I told them when they were ready to get into the business, Id teach them about the psychology of the business. I taught my son first. And he went on to win the WWE tag-team championship. And then I trained my daughter.
I had my son splash me four times, and I took it. Then my daughter did it to me four times, and I knew she had it.
Jimmy Jr. still wrestles independents, says Snuka, along with coaching volleyball and basketball in Arizona and serving as a personal trainer.
Hes also very proud of his nephew, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. That kids something else. Hes a good kid and very talented.
As a child (Dwayne) was influenced by Jimmy diving off the top ropes. He loved to watch Jimmy and I wrestle, because we had two different styles, and he would go home and try to imitate Jimmy and me, says Rocky Johnson.
Snuka says he would like to see The Rock make a movie out of his book.
The Rock could play my part, laughs Snuka, acknowledging that the wrestler-turned-Hollywood star might have to get a stunt double to do the aerial scenes.
But Im sure we could work it out.
Writing the book has been a catharsis of sorts for Snuka. He developed a close relationship with co-author Chattman in the process.
What a sweetheart of a guy. Im very grateful for him. He came up to me and asked me if I wanted to write a book. As soon as he said that, everything just kicked off. It was like turning on the light.
The entire book, says Snuka, was completed in just four months.
Legend of Superfly
Among his wrestling fraternity, past and present, the legend of Superfly Jimmy Snuka only grows with the passage of time.
There has never been anybody like him, says Olympic gold medalist and pro great Kurt Angle. The Jeff Hardys and RVDs are awesome wrestlers, but there will never be another Jimmy Snuka. Hes one of a kind.
He started something, and Ive made my living off of it, adds TNA champ Jeff Hardy.
I love it, brudda, Snuka says of the role he played as a trend-setter in the business and an inspiration to others. I even wrestled against some of these kids. I told them to relax and not be nervous. Everythings going to be all right.
One of those youngsters was Mark Calaway who, as The Undertaker, had his first Wrestlemania match against Snuka in 1991, beginning one of wrestlings most famous streaks on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Vince came in asked me if I could take care of the brudda, Snuka recalls. I just looked up at him and rubbed a couple of fingers together, hinting at a possible payday bump for doing the honors. Vince cracked up. I was just having fun with him.
It was a pleasure for me to do that for that kid, says Snuka.
I might have to finish up that streak, brah, jokes Snuka. But I dont know if he could handle that.
New lease on life
Snuka returned to the ring at Taboo Tuesday in 2003, stood in Sgt. Slaughters corner for 2007s Vengeance: Night of Champions and, at the age of 64, was brought back to team with Piper and Ricky Steamboat against Chris Jericho at the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania a quarter of a century after Snuka stood in Hogans corner at the inaugural Wrestlemania.
Snuka has quit drugs. His womanizing days, he says, are in the past.
With the help of his wife, Carole, whom he credits with saving his life, he has found some measure of solace.
I was way down low, man, he says. When I met this beautiful lady, she saved my life and everything. At one point I was almost dead. I had a bleeding ulcer. I was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, and the guy who was working on me told the driver that they were losing me.
The next thing Snuka heard was his wife screaming, Dont you dare leave me!
And then I woke up, he says.
The two, who live in the South Jersey area, were married in 2004.
Life with Snuka, says his wife, isnt exactly what one might expect.
Hes very patient, quiet guy. He just likes to do his yard work, take care of his dog, play on his computer, watch his Westerns and work out. He likes to talk to people. All the neighbors stop in all the time. Sometimes when hes out doing the yard, he forgets where his property stops and the neighbors begins. So theyll come home and see that their yard is done too.
Jimmy likes to find good in everything, says Carole Snuka. He enjoys just about everything. Hes a very giving person.
I try to get along with everybody. I love em all, echoes Snuka.
The Superfly still thinks about those glory days when his name was on the marquee at Madison Square Garden where thousands of adoring fans chanted his name and watched him soar like an eagle.
That was the top of the line for me. New York City ... Madison Square Garden. Oh my Lord! I loved it so much brudda. I was so excited. It was the first time I had been in such a big building. It was sold out upstairs and downstairs. You can just imagine what people were thinking.
That feeling brought back the emotions of Snuka diving off one of those cliffs. Except 20 thousand people were watching him now.
Thinking back to that match, I know I have another moment like that in me. Im not done yet.
Snuka is sincere when he makes the statement. In his mind, at least, hes still the risk-taker who surfed on rocky waters and walked over hot coals back on the islands.
In fact, hes planning to make a return to Fiji next year for a family reunion.
I told him hed better start saving his money if he wants to go, his wife adds.
When we go to Fiji, theres going to be three tickets, says the Superfly. The two-way ticket is for her, and the one-way ticket is for me.
I call him King Kong, laughs Carole Snuka. King Kongs got to go back to the jungle. They came and took him out of the jungle and put him up at Madison Square Garden. Now they have to send him back home again.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Bill O'Brien begged to differ on a couple of reporters' choice of words.
Both wondered if he considered the Nittany Lions "fortunate" to have escaped Saturday afternoon with a 24-17 overtime victory over Illinois.
And he did not.
"I don't feel fortunate," he said, turning stern in the postgame press conference. "Fortunate is when you win the lottery."
To O'Brien, Penn State's win was earned - hard earned - as the Nittany Lions created several games worth of adversity and yet were strong enough and resilient enough to overcome all of it.
"To me, we went out and did what we have to do to win the football game," O'Brien said. "I feel happy we won, but I don't feel fortunate."
Nor would O'Brien classify the game as less than the artistic gem that it wasn't - and, though he didn't say so, his mindset probably goes back to being placed at a competitive disadvantage by the NCAA.
Thus, despite barely beating an Illinois team that has not won a Big Ten game in two seasons, O'Brien said Saturday, "We cherish every win. We cherish every single win here at Penn State. We got a happy locker room. Give credit to Illinois - they're a much improved football team. Our kids battled. There is no ugly win."
He didn't debate that the Lions "made too many mistakes. I told the team, 'Congratulations, but I do believe we can be a better football team."
Consider Penn State won this game despite committing 11 penalties, despite being inside Illinois' 25 three times and coming away with zero points, despite missing a 37-yard field goal, despite fumbling at the Illinois 2 with 3:23 and no timeouts left in regulation and despite having a touchdown called back in overtime.
If O'Brien wants to split hairs over wording, surely he would agree that the Nits were at least fortunate to be playing the Fighting Illini. Otherwise, most other visiting Big Ten teams would have left here with a W.
"I think we're a better team than we showed today," linebacker Glenn Carson said. "I guess we like to make things interesting."
No doubt they accomplished that, and without a bowl game, Penn State is giving its fans their money's worth. The ones who hung around to the end have now witnessed three overtime games - all victories - in the last six home games and several entertaining finishes.
Just as the Lions were gracious to their fans, Illinois was a most gracious guest: The Illini didn't just shoot themselves in the foot, they blew their feet off.
Tim Beckman's club committed nine penalties of their own, also had a touchdown called back via penalty and committed three major infractions on the game's first three series.
"The referees saw a lot of penalties," O'Brien said.
The questionable calls weren't limited to the officials.
Up 14-0, Penn State got away from the run in the red zone and, as a result, arguably couldn't sustain its early momentum.
The Lions then found themselves out of timeouts midway through the fourth quarter because they nearly let the play clock expire once and also burned two defensive timeouts.
Beckman was just as charitable, throwing from his own end zone with a 17-14 lead when the Illini needed to run clock and then going for the home run in the end zone on the first play of overtime down 24-17.
The pass was intercepted, and PSU emerged at 5-3 overall, 2-2 in the Big Ten and feeling a decent season can still be salvaged.
"I think we have a chance to be a good football team," O'Brien said. "And I think there's a lot of football left."
And, thanks to the end result Saturday, to feel good about their stretch run, at least the Nittany Lions don't need to win the lottery.

2011 International Earth and Sky Photo Contest Winning Photos
Written by 杨 道波 Thursday, 02 June 2011 12:09
An International Earth and Sky Photo Contest was conducted by The World at Night (TWAN), an organization dedicated to night sky photography. Here are the award winning photographs……
An International Earth and Sky Photo Contest was conducted by The World at Night (TWAN), an organization dedicated to night sky photography. The winning photographs showcase the beauty of the nightly display over our planet, and reveal the ever-encroaching danger of light pollution, which blots out stars and planets. Because of light pollution, as much as two-thirds of the world's people can no longer see the Milky Way, the cloudy swath of stars that indicates the arc of our galaxy, according to some NASA estimates. The two categories for contest photos were Against the Lights, for photos that reflect light pollution troubles, and Beauty of the Night Sky, for photos that highlight truly dark-sky views.
Here are the award winning photographs……
1st Place, "Beauty of the Night Sky" Category
Photograph by Stephane Vetter, TWAN
A dazzling green aurora frames the arc of the Milky Way over Jökulsárlón, the largest glacier lake in Iceland, on March 10. The picture is a first-prize winner in the Second International Earth and Sky Photo Contest's "Beauty of the Night Sky" category.
Organized by astronomy-education projects The World at Night (TWAN) and Global Astronomy Month, the contest honors pictures that meet one of two criteria: "either to impress people on how important and amazing the starry sky is, or to impress people on how bad the problem of light pollution has become." In total, ten winners were announced May 9 in either the "Beauty of the Night Sky" or "Against the Lights" category.
To achieve the contest goals, organizers asked for "landscape astrophotography"—pictures of world landmarks against the night sky. This style "brings Earth and sky into one frame, and it's a bridge between the night sky and the ... environment," TWAN founder and contest judge Babak Tafreshi said in an email to National Geographic News.
"If we considered dark, starry skies a part of nature and our living world heritage, then we would try to preserve it like the other parts of nature."

Twinkling stars over the Austrian Alps compete against the bright glow of a mist-covered town near Lake Traunsee in a February 17, 2010, picture.
Overall, images in the "Against the Light" category "try to display how the beauties of the night sky are being vanished away by increasing lights in our modern life," TWAN's Tafreshi said. "Many of these lights are either not directed toward the ground in the right way or not necessary in those locations."
This picture of the Alps impressed the contest judges because it "has a very good balance between the starry sky and the lights," Tafreshi said. "Sky is affected partly by those village lights but not vanished away. So the beauty of nature exists above the lights."

A tree seems to bend in a galactic breeze in a July 2010 picture of the central bulge of the Milky Way taken from Australia.
Our solar system lies in one of the galaxy's spiral arms, about halfway from the galactic center. Recent studies show that the Milky Way's dusty heart houses a supermassive black hole.
"The position of the Milky Way in this image—lying horizontally, just above the horizon—gives the sense that it's just beyond arm's reach. Walk to the horizon, and instead of falling off the edge of the Earth, you can step into the rest of the galaxy," said contest judge Mike Simmons, president of Astronomers Without Borders, a TWAN co-founder, and a contributing editor at Sky & Telescope magazine.
"This connection of Earth and sky is actually quite real, if not always so apparent. The Earth is in space, and we are traveling through the galaxy upon it. Giving me a sense of our status as space travelers is what I love about this image," Simmons said via email.

The bright city lights of Isfahan, Iran, become the gold at the end of the Milky Way's "rainbow" in an April 2010 picture. The image shows how light pollution can drown out even the dense gathering of stars in the galactic plane.
"I've seen the sky from within Isfahan's glow and from Iran's deserts. As in cities around the world, the city's inhabitants rarely know what they are missing," said Astronomers Without Borders' Simmons. "Perhaps this image will encourage them to leave the city and reconnect with the night sky."

Crisscrossing light trails create a visual cacophony over a bridge in Lisbon, Portugal, in a February 2010 long-exposure picture. Faint star trails and the thicker path of the crescent moon wheel toward the western horizon, while airplanes leave horizontal streaks of light as they fly to or from the Lisbon airport.
"This is a fascinating image because of all the action. But of course, action is not what the night sky is supposed to be about," said Astronomers Without Borders' Simmons.
"The stars are seen moving quite gradually as the Earth rotates, but the airplanes and cars scurry past, driven by the impatience of humanity. The stars do their best to stand out, but even the moon is overwhelmed by the myriad lights."

A July 2010 panoramic picture of the French island of Réunion captures the Milky Way over Piton de la Fournaise, or "peak of the furnace," an active volcano. The small island lies in the Southern Hemisphere, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar.
The shot includes the constellation known as the Southern Cross at upper right, as well as the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds hovering at the lower right. These "clouds" are actually dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.
"Besides technical experience and a good DSLR camera with a fast lens, the successful [landscape astrophotography] image is always made when you are in the right place at the right time, and planning for this needs some knowledge about astronomy and sky-gazing," TWAN's Tafreshi said.
"The best landscape astropictures come from those with high interest and practical experience in astronomy."

Even the lights from small towns can block out views of the cosmos, as illustrated by a September 2010 panorama taken from the mountains on France's island of Réunion. As Venus twinkles brightly, colorful village lights stain the fog over a valley. Even on clear nights, the glare from those lights may mean only the brightest stars and planets are visible from the villages.
Astronomers Without Borders' Simmons notes that he's seen a similar view from the Mount Wilson Observatory, "a historic, once dark facility located above what is now the megalopolis of the Los Angeles area" in California. "The clouds don't usually keep the light entirely in check, but the sky does darken when the clouds are thick enough."

Seen in April 2011, a gate in the Great Wall of China "seems to echo the timelessness of the Milky Way above," Astronomers Without Borders' Simmons said. Built and rebuilt between the 5th century B.C. and the 17th century A.D., the Great Wall is actually a vast network of structures designed to impede foreign invaders. Despite its legendary longevity, the world landmark represents a blink of an eye in cosmic time.
"The Milky Way stood above this spot, just as in this image, long before this historic gate was built, and it will remain long after the gate is gone," Simmons said.

Light from Portland, Oregon—50 miles (80 kilometers) away—reflects off clouds in December 2010. Stars just manage to peak through the edges of the cloud cover.
Even when clouds aren't blocking the stars, "stray lights always brighten the sky to some extent," Astronomers Without Borders' Simmons said. "We can't control the weather, but we can keep our lights from shining upward, where it does us no good."
By honoring pictures of light pollution, the contest organizers hope to inspire people "to reclaim the night sky and its beauties, not only as a laboratory for astronomers, but as an essential part of our nature," TWAN's Tafreshi added.

Stars seem to spin around the celestial north pole in a December 2010 picture taken from the shores of California's Mono Lake.
Surrounded by limestone towers, the mineral-rich waters are home to many species of "extreme" bacteria, which can survive in conditions hostile to most other life on Earth—such as high heat or high acidity. The lake therefore acts as a living laboratory for scientists studying the types of life that might arise on alien worlds. (Related: "New Bacteria Makes DNA With Arsenic.")
"What would the night sky look like from the shore of an alien lake on a moon of Jupiter or Saturn? Except for the planets wandering about the sky, it would look just like this," Astronomers Without Borders' Simmons said.

A prank where newspaper is placed on a doorstep, shat on, then set on fire before knocking on the door and running away to hide. The aim is for the houseowner to stamp out the fire and get shit on their shoe. Good times.

> Asbaty ready to defend USBC Queens title
Asbaty ready to defend USBC Queens title
Matt Cannizzaro
USBC Communications
Published: August 27, 2013 |
ARLINGTON, Texas -
Heading into the 2012
United States Bowling Congress Queens
, Chicago's Diandra Asbaty was at a crossroad but found clarity as she hoisted the championship trophy and donned the coveted tiara after claiming her first major title.
She's had a year to reflect on one of the biggest wins of her career and will be in a completely different mindset when she puts her title on the line at the 2013 USBC Queens presented by Storm, which begins Sept. 1 at Sunset Station's Strike Zone Bowling Center in Henderson, Nev. The finals will be televised on ESPN2 at 2:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 8.
The 15-time Team USA member always has prided herself on putting in the time and work to remain at the top of her sport, whether that meant sacrificing sleep and the freedom of childhood for late-night practices or seeking out the best coaches and advice to help her navigate the world of adult bowling. She put the same effort into preparing for the 2012 Queens, but something felt different.
Although she has managed to turn her passion for bowling into a successful career, both on and off the lanes, new responsibilities, priorities and motherhood suddenly left Asbaty feeling less balanced than ever before.
"A lot of things had to go my way to beat such a talented field that week, and it really was a dream come true to win," Asbaty said. "At the time, I was having a hard time finding a balance with everything in my life and being the best mom I could be. It meant so much to be able to win at a time when I didn't feel as balanced as in the past. It was a moment that made me realize I could do it all and still do it well."
Asbaty climbed from the No. 3 spot in the stepladder to the championship match with wins against her Team USA teammates Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., also the 2009 Queens winner, and Stefanie Nation of Grand Prairie, Texas. She then closed with three clutch strikes in her final frame to defeat USBC Hall of Famer Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of Keller, Texas, 244-227, for the win.
Once the title-clinching strike had been delivered, Asbaty was overcome by emotion. First, because she fulfilled every bowler's dream of stepping up in the 10th frame of a major championship and throwing a strike to win. And then secretly, because she was able to prove to herself that she can handle everything life has to offer - that she can be a wife and mother, businesswoman and legitimate contender all at the same time.
This is something she's learned from Dorin-Ballard and long-time Team USA member Lynda Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, who both have families, careers and continued success on the lanes. This is something Asbaty hopes to convey to the next generation of bowling moms, too.
"To be able to say I won a major championship in women's bowling already takes the pressure off, but it doesn't mean I want it any less," said Asbaty, whose family will grow to four when she and her husband, John, welcome their second child in February. "More than anything, I want to keep proving to myself that even though I have a family and other priorities, I can still live my dreams."
Should Asbaty come away with another victory, she would become just the fifth woman to successfully defend a Queens title, joining Katsuko Sugimoto (1981-82), Donna Adamek (1979-80), Dorothy Fothergill (1972-73) and Millie Ignizio (1970-71).
Only eight bowlers have won multiple titles since the Queens began in 1961, with USBC Hall of Famers Wendy Macpherson and Ignizio as the only three-time winners. The other two-time champions are Barnes (1998, 2008), Kulick (2007, 2010) and Aleta Sill (1983, 1985).
The Queens kicks off with 10 qualifying games over two days Sept. 1 and 2, before the field is cut to the top third for five additional games Sept. 3. After 15 games, the top 63 competitors will join Asbaty for double-elimination match-play, which will begin Sept. 3 at 5 p.m. EDT. Asbaty will be seeded based on her 15-game pinfall but would earn the 64th spot should she not qualify higher.
Match play will continue Sept. 4, and the final five players will advance to the televised stepladder finals, which will be taped Sept. 5 at 10 p.m. EDT. The winner will take home the $20,000 top prize, and a perfect game in the championship match will earn the player an additional $10,000 from Storm Bowling Products.
The Queens is open to any female USBC member, and with this year's event coming just after the World Tenpin Bowling Association World Championships, the field will include nearly 200 players representing 14 countries.
Competitors at this year's Queens will have another opportunity to cash in through the USBC Shoot-Out, a special event following Queens qualifying with a $4,000 prize fund.
Four players will advance to the Shoot-Out based on qualifying scores with the high player from each of the following categories earning spots: international players, collegiate/youth players, players who have not competed in the Queens in the past four years and all others. Tournament rules will dictate the category in which each player competes.
The Shoot-Out will consist of a four-person bracket with one-game matches determining the winner of each match. The special event will be broadcast live on BOWL.com's BowlTV.
The qualifying and match-play portions of the Queens are open to the public at no charge, and a limited number of tickets for the televised finals are available for $25. Call 702-547-7467 for more information.

Dump truck crashes into Erie area motel
State police were looking for the driver of a dump truck that crashed into the front entrance of the Tallyho-tel, 7455 Schultz Road, in Summit Township on Saturday night.
There were no injuries reported and damage was limited to the building's exterior, according to Perry Hi-Way Hose Co. Deputy Chief John Spaulding.
The crash occurred at about 9:25 p.m.
The driver of a red Dibble Tree Service dump truck -- a man -- fled the scene on foot, according to authorities and witnesses.
"I was checking into the hotel and I turned around to look and this truck came barreling into the front of the building,'' said Kentucky resident Darryl Battoe, 54, who was inside the lobby checking in when the crash occurred.
"The driver got himself out the passenger-side window and stumbled into the lobby looking for an ex-girlfriend,'' Battoe said. "He sat there for a few seconds, then got up and took off running.''
Battoe said the driver did not appear to be hurt.
"I couldn't tell if he was drunk or not, but he was a little bit nuts,'' Battoe said.
After the truck struck the building, the driver dove out the truck's passenger-side window, which was about two-thirds open, according to Battoe.
"He dove out the window and the sweatpants he had on came down around his knees,'' Battoe said. "He pulled his pants up and came into the lobby looking for the girlfriend.''

With a new name and look in place, Douglas County Libraries forged ahead with several new services, programs and events for the people of Douglas County.
The aged library catalog computer terminals were replaced with high-tech models and the Dynix computer system was replaced with a new user-friendly system called Horizon.
Self check-out service is put in place at all of the full-service libraries. Patrons, enjoying a choice between full-service and self-service, make use of the self-checkout machines and a new self-pickup system for holds.
After several construction delays on the Roxborough Library, a new bookmobile motors back into the Roxborough community to provide part-time library service. Bookmobile service is also added to the busy Castle Pines-North neighborhood.
The Castle Rock Community Bandstand is dedicated on May 30, along with Continuity, a terracotta sculpture by Joyce Newman. The sculpture, bequeathed in honor of Genevieve Mead (a keen advocate and supporter of library service in Douglas County,) joined Newman's Circle Game, a long-time favorite at the Philip S. Miller Library. The American Legion and VFW Color Guard presented a special Memorial Day remembrance, featuring a thirty- six star flag from 1876, the year that Colorado became a state. Generous donations from White Construction Group, Humphries Poli Architects, the Rotary Club of Castle Rock- High Noon, the Rotary Club of Castle Rock, Midas of Castle Rock, M.W. Golden Constructors, Sherwin Williams of Castle Rock, Kent Brandebery, James O'Hern, the Castle Rock Band, Awards with More, the Friends of the Philip S. Miller library, J & L Stanesa Electric Company, Lafarge West, Inc., Rocky Mountain Excavating, Pate Concrete Contractors, S & M Steel Fabrication, Columbine Kitchen & Bath, Castle Rock True Value Hardware, Intermountain Landscape, Sherwin Williams, National Speaker & Sound and Rosemarie Woolston contributed appreciably to the construction of the bandstand. Donations from the Genevieve Mead Memorial Fund and the Friends of the Philip S. Miller helped fund the purchase of Continuity. Douglas County Libraries and the Town of Castle Rock joined forces to make the Bandstand available to arts and culture groups free of charge throughout the year.
The Louviers Library teamed up with Julie Wilson, a Peace Corps volunteer, to bring a hometown library to the school children of Ilian, a village in the province of Dumaran on Palawan Island, Philippines.
Douglas County Libraries partnered with Bonfils Blood Center to provide monthly blood drives at libraries across the county. At an average of twenty-six donations per drive, a total of 262 units of blood were collected, impacting the lives of over 786 patients in need.
The library district's annual signature events continued around the county. An all-girl band, Forever's Beginning, takes first prize at the Third Annual Battle of the Bands in Highlands Ranch. The Third Annual Shakespeare Festival offered five free professional performances of The Taming of the Shrew at Shakespeare at Park at the Mainstreet Center in Parker. A Summer of Evening of Stories moved to the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock and featured Opalanga Pugh, an Internationally recognized storyteller. Douglas County Arts and Culture Day focused on honing partnerships between educators and cultural organizations. Fantasy Fest returned for the fourth year with unprecedented crowds.
Douglas County History Research Center staff makes an eleventh-hour move to save the decades-old Colorado Community Newspaper archives just before the old newspaper building is demolished. The staff is publicly recognized by the Library Board of Trustees for their efforts to save the newspaper archive in a driving snowstorm.
Douglas County Libraries places seventh in the Nation (out of 329 similar library districts) on Hennen's American Public Library Ratings (HAPLR) scale.

In an effort to aid Tsunami victims, Douglas County Libraries donated all fines collected between January 24-30 to the Red Cross. The Douglas County Libraries Tsunami Relief Drive, called "A Fine Idea," generated $4,167.08 in fines and $1,158.07 in donations. Libraries across the State joined the Douglas County Libraries drive, yielding $15,670.75 total.
The Douglas County Libraries Foundation and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway provided the funding for the Castle Rock Writers' book Douglas County, Colorado: A Photographic Journey. The book features vintage Douglas County photographs, journals and documents dating from 1861 through the end of World War II. The group went on the road, visiting Douglas County residents in their homes, scanning photographs from family albums and listening to stories passed down from one generation to the next to gather material for the literary endeavor. The writers donated their time and talents to the project, and all proceeds return to the Foundation for future community projects.
Young readers came out in droves to participate in Wild Wonders, the Douglas County Libraries Spring Youth Reading Program. Douglas County Libraries purchased a llama for a needy South American family through the Heifer International/ Read to Feed program, in celebration of the program's 62% completion rate.
The 4th Annual Teen Battle of the Bands is held at the Castle Rock Community Bandstand; Loose Change, of Parker, won. The 4th Annual Shakespeare Festival culminated with free professional performances of Macbeth at the Lone Tree Rec Center. The Page to Stage literary theatre tour delighted thousands around Douglas County with a fun and educational performance of Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs? Dinosaurs…
Jamie LaRue, Library Director, received an American Library Association/ Association of Library Trustees and Advocates (ALA/ALTA) Advocacy Award, and his name was placed in ALA's "Advocacy Honor Roll".
Douglas County Libraries placed third in the Nation (out of 329 libraries) on Hennen's American Public Library Ratings (HAPLR) scale.
Libraries across the State joined forces to help victims of Hurricane Katrina by dedicating a week's worth of library fines, as well as additional donations from library patrons, to the American Red Cross Disaster Response Fund. The drive generated $15,505.10. Douglas County Libraries raised $3,793.47.
Douglas County Libraries and the Douglas County School District partnered to launch the Make the Grade library card campaign at area elementary schools. The campaign generated 1,890 new library card registrations. Polls at the schools showed that approximately 80% of all households with an elementary student in residence have a library card.

Timothy Noah ARGUES that the demographics of the current debate over guns shows that the so-called real Americans out there are not who most people think they are.
The current debate over gun control is one of several signs that liberalism is back, sort of. President Barack Obama gave a second inaugural speech forthrightly celebrating liberal�principles (equality, environmental stewardship, collective action) and didn�t get impeached. More Americans now support gay marriage than oppose it. Universal health care survived a Supreme Court challenge and a presidential election. Grover Norquist�s anti-tax pledge has lost its juju.

ThePirateBay.org leader Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, speaking to
Swedish newspaper The Local, told recording
industry lawyers to "go screw
themselves" in response to the IFPI's Monday demands for
$2.5 million in compensatory damages.
The damage figure comes as part of the latest round in the
ongoing legal saga surrounding The Pirate Bay and its leadership, which
includes Svartholm, as well as co-founder Peter "Brokep" Sunde and administrators
Fredrik Neij, among others. The four were indicted late last January on conspiracy
charges, for the site's role in facilitating piracy for 24 music albums,
nine films, and four computer games.
Svartholm says he and his colleagues laughed at the claimed
amount of damages, which he thinks were calculated by multiplying the number of
the number of properties in the indictment times the number of times they were
downloaded. This is wildly unrealistic, says Svartholm, because most
downloaders would not have paid full price for an album in the first place.
According to Swedish IFPI chapter head Lars Gustaffson, the
$2.5 million claim is "based on the albums which the prosecutor has included in
his indictment. The injury to the record companies, the artists, and the
copyright holders caused by The Pirate Bay's illegal activity is many times
"As usual, we're not too concerned," said Svartholm. "[The
IFPI's] numbers are pure fantasy."
Despite continually finding itself under fire for digital piracy,
The Pirate Bay has seen an increasing amount of use as a legitimate channel for
artists and producers looking to experiment with legal BitTorrent distribution:
Trent Reznor famously
uploaded part of his Creative Commons-licensed Ghosts I-IV to The Pirate Bay earlier this month – earning
back $1.6 million in the first week – and The League of Noble Peers likely earned
back all its production costs after experimenting with a novel donation
model for its freely-available Steal This
Film II.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that cause superficial and invasive skin infections are on the rise. Among the victims are troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan whose wounds become infected with microbes that are no longer killed reliably by methicillin and vancomycin.
Robert Towarnicki started Makefield Therapeutics in July 2009 to find novel treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections. The company, based in New Hope, PA, licensed a platform called Hybrid Nanoparticle™ technology that was discovered in Joel Friedman's laboratory at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
The Hybrid Nanoparticle technology delivers nitric oxide (NO) locally in a controlled and sustained manner. The platform is initially being evaluated as a topical treatment for skin infections and erectile dysfunction (ED). Peptides, nucleic acids, and traditional small molecule drugs can also be incorporated into the Hybrid Nanoparticle technology for oral, transdermal, intravenous, and intraperitoneal delivery.
The platform employs a biodegradable hydrogel made from ingredients on the FDA's generally recognized safe list and/or the USP National Formulary. The hydrogel contains silane nanoparticles that release NO over time. A reaction between sodium nitrite and a sugar generates NO during the manufacturing process. The concentration of NO released and the time required is controlled by altering the amount and molecular weight of other ingredients such as polyethylene glycol or the concentration of encapsulated nitrite.
Chitosan is added to the NO nanoparticles to increase the antimicrobial killing action. This natural polymer, obtained from crustacean exoskeletons, binds to and disrupts the cell walls of bacteria. All the components of the nanoparticle delivery system are commercially available. The preparation methods use well-known pharmaceutical processes that easily lend themselves to scale-up and manufacturing.
NO shows broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. In fact, Makefield researchers have not found any clinically relevant bacteria that are not killed by NO nanoparticles. However, the short half-life of NO makes it difficult to apply in the clinic.
"The challenge has been delivery," says Towarnicki, president and CEO. "Our nanoparticles can be delivered transdermally and move through the skin into tissues, or they can be injected."
Makefield will focus on the translational development of the NO-nanoparticle technology. Towarnicki hopes to file the company's first IND application in 2011, which likely will cover a topical antimicrobial application.
Friedman's laboratory has published several in vivo and proof-of-concept results across a variety of indications. Among the models is a murine wound model for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Topically delivered NO nanoparticles increased wound healing, reduced bacterial burden, decreased inflammation, and prevented collagen degradation.
Similar results were shown in an animal model for wound infections caused by MRSA-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumanni, a pathogen associated with battlefield injuries, surgical wounds, and ulcers. Mice receiving a single topical dose of NO nanoparticles healed more rapidly compared to untreated mice.
Another study of abscesses in mice infected with methicillin-resistant S. aureus found that topical or intradermal treatment with NO nanoparticles reduced the size of abscesses, bacterial load, and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while improving skin architecture.
Based on these preclinical results, Makefield Therapeutics is optimizing formulations and picking lead indications. "Right now we're leaning toward complicated skin and soft tissue infections where we can intervene and see immediate results," says Towarnicki.
NO nanoparticles are not intended to replace oral or IV antibiotics but rather act as an initial therapy to control infections while physicians await the results of bacterial cultures to select the best antibiotic. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits of NO nanoparticles also lend themselves to a topical treatment for acne to avoid the systemic side effects of oral acne drugs. Additionally, the nanoparticles penetrate fingernails and toenails, making them a possible treatment for stubborn fungal infections.

200+ hours played and yet to find one lol
[Edited by SaturnCeleste, 10/7/2010 1:27:53 PM]
i wasn't aware there were better weapons than the eridian weapons you get at the end of the main game, but then i haven't played any of the DLC's.
Honestly, I don't like the Eridian weapons that much. They are too slow sometimes, they are good on certain enemies but so are some of the other guns too. Only the one with the 886 damage is one that I keep. Or if I'm a lower level and tend to run out of ammo a lot, I'll keep all the Eridian guns I gather and use them up to spare my ammo. After a while, when the guns take too long to recharge, I just sell them.
I have never encountered these types of weapons after playing through twice with six different characters. Would you please provide more information about them? Thanks.
Same here... 4 characters, x2 playthru each and co-op playthru twice as well... and still no Pearlecent stuff! Anyone able to link or u/l a pic or two? What do they look like? Does the title shimmer like a rainbow? Is there a way to up the Percentage of drop in the (ini?) files?

Mohawk Place was home for members of the Buffalo music community for more than 20 years. The club has been a central hub, gathering point and coveted gig for musicians throughout that time period. As the club prepares to close its doors following concerts on Friday and Saturday, members of that music community share their memories of the "musicians' clubhouse."
Chris Trapper, solo artist, formerly of the Push Stars
"Mohawk Place is one of the only venues that I think I played at every phase of my career, which speaks to the versatility of the room. When I was 19-years-old, I had an acoustic duo with Buffalo songwriter Michael Arden, and Mohawk Place was one of the few clubs we could actually get booked into. Later on, when my band the Push Stars signed a record deal with Capitol, we played a co-bill there with Scott Carpenter. I remember Scott was upset about $ after the show, and blamed us for getting overpaid because we were 'major label.'
"And then I played there a few years ago as a solo artist, and my impression was that the club was getting better over the years. To me, any venue that stays open more than 5 years had figured out the delicate balance between art and commerce, and it is not easy. I've seen many venues shut down over the years,with their idealism shot down into the reality that euro-dance club and college frat bars pay the bills without having to deal with drunken bass players, arrogant singers, stoned sound men, etc. ... but it is those magic moments when the band is grooving, the sound is blaring, and the beer is flowing that stay woven in our souls, that we never really forget."
Joe McCarthy, McCarthyizm
"My best memories of the Mohawk: playing there after Thursday in the Square, especially on the sidewalk out front, with a crowd spilling out into the street, moon over head, couple 12 packs of cold PBRs being passed among the band mates to beat the heat. Man, a night like that'd be nice right now, eh? And I'll just miss the glorious grit of the place. One of my favorite shows there: Justin Townes Earle on a cold, snowy Monday, the night after the Super Bowl a couple years ago. His guitar playing and energy really impressed me, well beyond expectations. Also miss Pete at the front door, always there with a handshake, a smile and a kind word. RIP Mohawk."
Alan Farmelo, producer/musician/engineer
"The Mohawk did that wonderful thing of transcending being just a bar or just a venue – it became a community center for all kinds of musicians and fans. And it was so diverse. I remember waiting for a huge Harley biker blues-rock scene to clear out and then all of us artsy indie-rockers would show up and do it all over again with our own version of rock-n-roll, only to be replaced by some goths doing their thing. You can't overstate the significance that place held for thousands of people."
Lonny Lewis, music fan
"I've seen lots of good acts there, but what stands out to me, is that as many were bands that my kids turned me on to as ones I knew. The place stayed very current."
Jeff Schaller, musician (Grand National, Last Days Of Radio, Blue Bullet Skater, Here Come The Comets, Mohawk Street Saints)
"Oh man, what a place, what great memories and generally fantastic times. I played there so many times with so many original bands. I really don't know if there would have been such a great music scene over the last dozen or so years in this town without Mohawk Place. It was simply the place to play if you played cool original music, period. I think the real magic of that place surprisingly was the old tiny stage that lasted until the remodel. It was so small and so cramped and you had to run your own sound but man did it sound cool. It was just this really rich, warm energy that never really translated to the big stage despite having more room and a way better PA system.
"You'd get your gear setup in the old kitchen surrounded by tons of dishes, 'cause Marty (Boratin) had made the touring bands a big 'ol meal. It wasn't glamorous, but it was cool, and it was all original. You'd play pool in the backroom (which became the bathrooms) and just stare at all the killer fliers of bands that had come through town. It was grimey and awesome.
"The amount of friendships we made back then with other bands from all over the east coast. No club aside from maybe the Continental would ever consider the amount of touring bands Marty brought in. 1998-2005, those were the years. And of course playing old 60's Brit rock out on the sidewalk every summer was such a blast, playing for tips and you didn't even care. Tons of crazy oddball characters just loving the chance to be drunk outside in the warm summer Thursdays having a blast. I don't think you'll ever see a band jamming on the sidewalk downtown in the summer anywhere ever again. Only at the 'Hawk."
– Jeff Miers

Understanding Function versus Global Scope - 10

Right click "Save as…"
One often misunderstood topic that leads to errors in programs is how JavaScript treats variables declared inside and outside of functions. This video explains the ramifications of variable scope at both the functional and global levels. For developers coming from other programming languages, it demonstrates how your familiarity with block scope will lead you to erroneous conclusions about JavaScript's functional and global scope. Also briefly discussed is the notion of hoisting in JavaScript.
Oops, something didn't work.
You Say about the myScope variable that you defined outside the
anonymous function it's the same variable that you defined inside anonymous
function and the value of variable is temporary change.
but this is not true
because the two variable have the different memory location not the same
because in anonymous function you add the keyword var before the myScope
and if you want to be the two become the same memory location you need to
remove the keyword var in anonymous function.
I would have expected in the 2nd alert box to see that myScope was changed to "changed", but it remains "global".
myScope = "global"; (function () { myScope = "changed"; var myScope = "function"; alert('inside the function, the scope is: ' + myScope); })(); alert('outside the function, the scope is: ' + myScope);
Please listen to him @7.20 to 7.40, he explain the reason for your output.
Bob, I am enjoying these videos and learning much from them. Thank you for producing them!
However, in this video I must say I was left somewhat confused. That is, I thought there should have been more in-depth explanation for the various cases and why the results are what they are.
I too am confused by the results of the code posted by @asok14215. And while it MAY be true (don't know) that hoisting is responsible for the results (as suggested by @tssutha), I didn't get enough from this video to understand IF it's due to hoisting or WHY (if it even is). The example in the video @ 7:20 (ish) does not seem to me to be the same thing @asok14215 is doing.
Can you offer any insight?
Thanks again.
@CindyS: Hi Cindy ... check this out ... http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/quick-tip-javascript-hoisting-explained/ ... I think they do a nice job explaining it. Also, did they explain it differently than I did? I'm sorry to add confusion to the topic!
Thanks for the very prompt response and link - I think I understand the hoisting concept now. You didn't add any confusion - I was already there... Don't know that nettuts explained it differently than you did, just a bit more thoroughly perhaps? As a side note, that site has a TON of information and appears to be an excellent resource (that I will now have to figure out a way to devote some time to!).
I THINK I now understand what is happening behind the scenes in asok14215's code sample...the declaration (not the assignment) portion of:
var myScope = "function";
is hoisted to the beginning of the function block, then its value is set to 'changed', then its value is set to 'function', then the 1st alert() is executed, thereby displaying 'function' as the value. After that, the function block ends so the second alert when executed displays the globally-scoped value for myScope, which is still 'global'.
In any case, it seems that declaring multiple variables with the same name - even if JavaScript permits it - is not a good idea and not a 'best practice.'
Looking forward to continuing through the tutorials, so thanks again!
Just to clarify - I didn't mean to suggest that YOU were saying declaring variables with the same name IS a good idea...I was simply offering my opinion on the subject.
I guess I just don't see a good reason for doing that...perhaps there are reasons why you might have to (that I just haven't come across yet). Along the same lines, it seems to me it would be clearer and less risky to just declare the variables at the beginning of the block in which they are used, thereby eliminating hoisting issues altogether.

Buffalo Public Schools graduation rates continue to stir serious concerns, with the latest graduation data released by the state showing the city trailing behind every other major city school district in New York State except for one.
According to the 2012 data released by the state Education Department on Monday, high schools in Erie and Niagara counties generally showed either modest losses or positive gains outside the City of Buffalo.
Within the city is another story entirely. No longer do more than half of Buffalo's students graduate from high school within four years. The Buffalo graduation rate was 47 percent, compared with 54 percent in 2011.
The Rochester school district did even more poorly, with only 43 percent of students graduating within four years.
Buffalo, however, showed the sharpest decline among the five largest school districts in the state, causing the Education Department to red-flag the city in its statewide news release.
"Graduation rates for four of the Big 5 school districts remained relatively stable," the release stated. "However, Buffalo's graduation rate dropped by more than 7 percentage points."
The other Big 5 schools ranked include Yonkers, with a graduation rate of 66 percent; New York City, with 60 percent; and Syracuse, with 48 percent.
Buffalo's 2012 graduation rate erases the gains the district made in 2011 and puts the city school district back at roughly the same graduation level it had in 2010.
The picture is bleaker when looking at the school-by-school breakdowns. Among the 20 city public and charter high schools, only four showed any gains, while nine showed losses of 5 percentage points or more compared with 2011's rates.
Since 2010, six of the city schools have seen double-digit declines in graduation rates. Burgard Vocational High School showed the single most alarming drop – from half of its students graduating in 2010 to only a fourth – 24 percent – graduating in 2012.
East, Bennett, Riverside and Lafayette high schools also showed a troubling pattern of two-year stagnation or decline, with less than a third of students graduating.
Some schools both in and out of the city showed marked improvement.
Buffalo's Emerson School of Hospitality showed a 15 percent year-over-year gain in its graduation rates, from 66 percent in 2011 to 81 percent in 2012.
In surrounding school districts, Depew, Lake Shore, North Collins and Frontier high schools made notable one- and two-year gains.
Among the largest suburban school districts, the total district graduation rate was 92 percent in Williamsville, 81 percent in Kenmore-Tonawanda and 85 percent in West Seneca.
In Niagara County, graduation rates ranged from 70 percent at Niagara Falls High School to 97 percent at Lewiston-Porter.
The overall statewide graduation rate "remained stable at 74 percent despite increased rigor required for graduation phased in over the past four years," according to the announcement by Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl H. Tisch and State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr.
Buffalo Public Schools Superintendent Pamela C. Brown declined an interview request about the student graduation rates report, which reflect a period before her arrival. In a statement, however, she said she's instituted a number of strategies designed to bring city graduation rates up to 80 percent by 2018.
Those strategies include more collaboration and communication with the Say Yes Buffalo program, more professional development for staff, more early intervention through the use of student data, and more after-school and summer school programs to help struggling students.
"With these key strategies in place, we are very optimistic that increased graduation rates will follow," she stated. "As always, it is our goal to provide a world-class education for every child."
