Following its critically acclaimed, sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, Singin' in the Rain is now making a splash at London's Palace Theatre. It's the roaring 20's and silent movie stars are the biggest names in the world. Don Lockwood has it all, a string of hit films and a studio-engineered romance with the most beautiful actress in town. But with the new phenomenon of the talking picture on the way and a chance meeting with a talented young chorus girl set to steal his heart, things are about to change for Don and for Hollywood forever With all the charm, romance, comedy and tinsel town glamour of one of the world's best-loved films, Jonathan Church's brand new production features a glorious score including the classics Good Morning, Make 'em Laugh, Moses Supposes and the legendary Singin' in the Rain.
Sorry there are no shows for Singin' In The Rain & Leon De Bruxelles Meal Offer right now.

The comments section is NOT, I repeat, NOT the place to request the T-shirt.
Reading Comprehension. It's not just a class in the 3rd grade...
Don't forget to use the form to register! Leaving a comment (especially with an unregistered name) won't get you a shirt. :-)
Hi Ruth, where is this form you're referring to?
And can I turn off the constant emails with others registering? It was a mistake to leave the default checkmark in the square...
Thanks, GB
It's the link in the post above that says "request one now."
I don't think that there's a way to turn off the comments after you've already checked that box, but I'll look around, and if I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Hey, you're in luck. :-) Do you see a link under your comment that says "Edit"? If you click that, you can uncheck the comment notification box.
Thanks Ruth for trying. There is no edit option below any of my previous comments. That perhaps has something to do with the fact that I auto delete cookies after closing my browser. You're out of shirts now [I hope that will dry up the email flow], and no shirt for me even though I was an early riser... That link was not placed strategically at the best place. Perhaps on the second anniversary...
and thanks for t-shirt :-)
Long live Open Source
Come and go from the site all the time and even archive the emails but didn't realize I had never 'Registered' until the t-shirt giveaway... Who can resist the allure of free?

Smoke from a burned-out drive belt on a rooftop heating unit caused the brief evacuation of the McDonald's restaurant on Grand Island.
Grand Island Fire Department spokesman Ray Pauley said firefighters responded to the report of smoke in the 2231 Grand Island Blvd. restaurant shortly before 8 p.m. Saturday.
Assistant Fire Chief Chris Soluri said patrons and employees were evacuated because of light smoke in the dining area.
Power was shut off to the heating unit "and there was no other damage since there was no fire involving the structure itself," Soluri added.

Orlando Florida Family Law Attorney handling all aspects of Family Law, Animal Law, Child Custody, Alimony, Child Support and Immigration Law.
I focus on the areas of Animal, Family and Immigration Law. The approach that is taken when we work with clients is personal; we are the first person the client sees and we are the last one the client sees.
If you would like a paralegal or legal assistant working on your case we are not the office for you. However, if you would like an Attorney to work on your case that you can see and call to speak to directly, please give us a call.
We like to educate our clients about their position and the law and let them make choices with our guidance. As a former middle school and high school teacher, I make sure clients are educated on what they can and cannot do.
If you have any questions at all please give me a call at (407) 704 7740 or send an email.

Oklahoma Christian Women's Association is a volunteer group with a goal of supporting and promoting the educational programs of Oklahoma Christian University.
Since its beginning in 1955 the group has contributed more than $1 million in equipment, materials and funds to enhance the program of the University. This figure does not include the countless hours of time and effort committed to the University.
OCWA activities and involvement range from hosting the annual Christmas Bazaar during Homecoming each year, to raising funds through golf tournaments, sale of cookbooks or providing service personnel for on-campus banquets and special events.
Our Purpose
- To cooperate with the University in support of the basic aims and ideals of Christian education. As a university, Oklahoma Christian continues to hold to its Christian principles while offering the best education available for its students.
- To strengthen the program of the University by making regular investments in the work of the University an in the improvement of its facilities. The need for financial assistance is greater today than ever before. There is a continual need for the improvement of our facility for the present and future needs of our students.
- To assist the University in recruiting the type of student who can best profit by the services of such an institution. Local chapters are asked to encourage prospective students by keeping them informed of special events and activities on campus which can help acquaint them with Oklahoma Christian. Recruitment parties for junior high school students is a great way to encourage future students. The University is happy to supply speakers or entertainment for these events.
- To foster a spirit of fellowship among the women who are interested in the development in education. The women who make OCWA come from all walks of life. Some are professional women, some are homemakers, some are young and some are older, but they all have one thing in common. They each have a love for the Lord and a strong desire to contribute to the work at Oklahoma Christian.
Some Of Our Accomplishments
Through its volunteer efforts, OCWA has been involved in practically every academic division or campus department. Whether the need has been large or small, OCWA has been a strong source of support for meeting the needs of the University.
The gifts of the Oklahoma Christian Women's Association over the years are far too many to include completely. Just a few of those contributions are:
An activity bus
The brick wall in front of the Mabee Learning Center
Lighting for the tennis courts
Redecorating and furnishing administrative offices
Computers for academic divisions and administration areas
Furniture for residence halls
Books for the library
Sound equipment and microphones for performing groups
Media equipment
Athletic uniforms and KOCC basketball broadcasts
Microwave ovens
OCWA has provided lawn mowers to Oklahoma Christian University, which has helped with the maintenance of OC's attractive campus.
OCWA has raised money to purchase new athletic uniforms for our athletes, as well as contributed to the KOCC basketball broadcasts.
OCWA has also influenced the students' success at OC, in that they have provided computer equipment and helped keep OC up-to-date with the changing economy.
OCWA has provided furniture and other furnishings to various locations on campus to help improve the working atmosphere for students and faculty at Oklahoma Christian University.
OCWA has helped raise funds to improve the OC campus community, by various activities such as craft fairs and homecoming booths. They have made quilts and other crafts, sold them and used all of the profits for the purpose of creating a better environment for OC students, faculty, staff and the community.

Excellent Handling and power to spare
by VR6 dude from jacksonville, Florida | November 30, 2008
I have owned 2 MK-IV GTI's and I have to say that the VR6 is one of the best cars i have owned. The power is excellent for the weight of the car. Handles excellent and has been every bit reliable. Pleanty of legroom and headroom. Stock stereo is every bit as good as an aftermarket one. Add a chip and a few bolt ons and it is an excellent track car. Gas mileage is as good as can be expected. Road noise is minor at highway speeds. Rear seats are roomy for a hatchback and there is plenty of cargo space.

Biggest disappointment... Fine German eng my foot
by Piotr from Boston, MASS | July 17, 2007
It seems like everything that could ever break, it would, and over and over again. Two years of failed window regulators, three catalytic converters, oxygen sensors replaced twice. Alarm system and electric problems that could not be replaced by any dealer, and still not working. Engine light comes on and off every week - dealer does not charge to reset any more. Interior plastic parts break and come apart - vents, knobs, hinges... All in all, by far the most expensive, after purchase, car I have ever owned ... grant you that when it runs well the experience is satisfactory. Still when I see a VW commercial I look for something to throw at it....

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Rutgers University Cell and DNA Repository (RUCDR) has adopted PerkinElmer's technologies for automation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) sample preparation. The combination of PerkinElmer's sample library automation with Rutgers' biorepository will make millions of biological samples accessible to researchers worldwide for large-scale genomic and disease-related studies, according to PerkinElmer and RUCDR.
The PerkinElmer NGS laboratory pipeline preparation solutions will enable the RUCDR to perform quality control on 25,000 DNA samples per week and prepare hundreds of DNA and RNA sequence libraries per week. The products covered in this deal include Sciclone® NGS Workstation, an automated solution for high-throughput sequencing sample preparation, to be used for library preparation and RNA sequencing; LabChip® GX Nucleic Acid Separations System, a microfluidics system to be used for RNA sample quality control and DNA library quality control; LabChip® DS Microplate Reader to be used for quality control of extracted biological material; and Twister® II Microplate Handler, a high-capacity plate stacker, to feed biological samples through the LabChip DS reader.
"Going forward the RUCDR will have the capacity to prepare every biological sample coming into the repository for automated sequencing applications," remarks Andrew Brooks, Ph.D., associate professor of genetics and COO, Rutgers University Cell and DNA Repository. "This will help expedite research projects, ensure comparable data quality across analytical centers, and facilitate large-scale access and use of clinically relevant samples across a variety of NIH, foundation, and industry funded projects.
"As preserving prepared libraries of patient samples is becoming a new standard practice for accelerating NGS studies, it is our intention to continue to be the leader in providing researchers with unparalleled access to high-quality nucleic acid and cellular material to make potential therapies and diagnostics more powerful and accurate. Without this critical relationship with PerkinElmer, we would not have been able to achieve these goals as efficiently as we have."

"The basic calling of the journalist is to report today what will be tomorrow's history. None practices the craft with greater skill than Ken Auletta, and his specialty long has been the news media in all its forms—print, broadcast, cable and the Internet. In his latest book, the prolific Mr. Auletta takes us to the news industry's back rooms, where we meet some of the noted actors in dramatic confrontation as the business executives and the editorial side try to toe, not always successfully, the thin line between profit and journalistic ethics. Auletta's book is as up to date as a cable news banner and is an invaluable guide to the most important players in our information age." —Walter Cronkite"With his latest book, Ken Auletta reaffirms his position as our nation's leading chronicler and critic of the communications business— the liars and the truth seekers, the media moguls and the spin meisters, the old and the new. Auletta's work focuses our attention on what's so extraordinary about the news industry's transformation in recent times and what's so troubling." —Gay Talese
To shine a light on the news business today. There is much talk about bias in the media, whether there is an operative "liberal" or "conservative" bias. The bias we talk too little about is the media's "economic" bias — to drive up ratings or circulation with conflict, with sharp or loud opinions, with the latest "scoop" on Michael Jackson or a shark attack.
How does this make you feel about the current state of journalism?
I feel both hopeful, and depressed. Hopeful because technologies like digital cable and the Internet offer so many more choices for consumers of news. Depressed because, increasingly, journalistic divisions are part of giant companies who demand profit margins and "efficiencies" that often war with good journalism, which is expensive.
The synergy you speak of, does this conflict with journalistic independence?
There's a basic cultural clash between journalism and business, and it's one my book attempts to explore. As businesses grow larger, they naturally want to create "synergies" between their various departments, want to lower the walls between divisions, want to instill a "team culture." But journalism often operates on a different set of values. To us, "synergy" sometimes means using journalism to shill for a sister division. We don't want the wall between advertising and news to be lowered. We prize independence more than teamwork.
As you were putting the book together, going back over your old New Yorker columns, is there anything you were surprised about? Anything you were particularly right or particularly wrong about?
I offer a postscript at the end of each piece that suggests where I was sometimes wrong, or right. Perhaps the event that most surprised me was the firing of Howell Raines at the New York Times. My profile, which is the first piece in this book, was written a year before he was fired. While I am satisfied that the profile hit the bulls eye in alerting readers to Raines' weaknesses as well as strengths, I was stunned that little more than a year after his greatest successes the publisher would come to believe that Howell Raines could not change and had to be terminated.
You're a full-time journalist. Do you think you have enough distance from both the media and from politics when you write your pieces in The New Yorker?
In journalism you always have enough distance and don't get into trouble if you remember who your audience is. You are not writing for the people you profile but for your general readers. Follow this stricture and, inevitably, you make hard decisions that leave people upset. In politics, you try to make friends and to please as many people as possible. In journalism, your loyalty is not to "friends" or to those who granted you access but to your readers.
In "New York's Tabloid Wars" you discuss the long-standing competition between the Daily News and the New York Post. You've worked at both during your career; do you think one will survive the other?
The Daily News has a stronger advertising base and is making money, while the Post is not. But the Post is gaining circulation (in large measure because it cut its price in half). If the Post can gain advertising, and if News owner Mortimer Zuckerman becomes paranoid about competing against Rupert Murdoch's deeper pockets, he could panic and sell. This is what Murdoch would like.
Over the years you've profiled leading figures and companies of the Information Age, including Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Harvey Weinstein and Howell Raines, is there anyone you hope to profile in the future?
A journalist who would advertise his next project will soon be unemployed, or declared nuts!
In another life, you taught and trained Peace Corps volunteers, served as Special Assistant to the U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce, and worked in Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 campaign for the Presidency among other things. How did you come to write for The New Yorker?
It's probably a classic case of upward failure. First, I thought I'd be a baseball player. I failed. Then I wanted to be a diplomat. Then help elect a President or Governor. I loved the independence journalism promised and, unemployed, I started freelancing. I wound up writing a political column for the Village Voice and longer investigative pieces for New York Magazine. In 1977, William Shawn, the editor of The New Yorker, phoned and asked if I might like to write for his magazine. I jumped at the opportunity.
What makes a good journalist?
A good journalist is an educator, has as much of a calling as a public official. In a democracy, people depend on the information they receive from journalists to help them make decisions. That's not a small responsibility.

Today's posts for B2B marketers seem to have a negative tone. I didn't pick them with that in mind, but these are some of the posts that resonated with me this week. This indicates to me that we are at a turning point with B2B social media. According to many statistics, there is a high adoption rate, but marketers are unsure how to proceed to get results, how to measure those results and how to share their successes. Too many companies have "dipped their toe in the water" of social media, and answered yes to survey questions that they are using social media. Many executives are convinced there is no additional cost to social media, because the platforms are free. If you are a B2B marketer struggling with any of these issues, it is time to go outside your organization for additional resources.
The articles below may help inspire you to move forward in a way to achieve measurable results, but on this rainy Friday (where I am), it should at least get you thinking that there is more to social media than pushing out corporate messages.
And thanks to Alan Belniak for his shout-out in the article below about adding Twitter buttons to specific items in a post or ebook. It's a great way to get your community to share your content.

After two years of dating, Hayden Panettiere and Ukrainian heavyweight boxing champion Wladmir Klitschko are calling it quits, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
"Even though we've decided splitting up is best for both of us, we have an amazing amount of love and respect for each other and remain very close friends," says the Scream 4 actress, 21.
Klitschko, 35, the reigning IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight world champion, cites the physical distance as a stumbling block for the couple.
"We had a great time together, but it's not that easy to manage a relationship between two continents," he says. "I have a lot of respect for Hayden as a person and as a friend, and I believe we'll keep our friendship even after the separation."
The two most recently appeared together at the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of the documentary Klitschko, about Wladmir and his brother Vitali's boxing careers.
Panettiere, who also voices Red Riding Hood in the animated flick Hoodwinked Too! – for which she shot a music video – will next be seen in the drama Carmel, due later this year.

The Consumer Council of Norway hereby wishes to lodge a complaint against iTunes Music Store with the Consumer Ombudsman. The complaint is based on iTunes' standard terms and conditions as specified at http://www.apple.com/no/support/itunes/legal/terms.html (Terms of Service) and http://www.apple.com/no/support/itunes/legal/policies.html Terms of Sale). It is the view of the Consumer Council that several aspects of these terms are in breach of the Marketing Control Act (Markedsføringsloven) and other legislation.
In addition, iTunes uses DRM (Digital Rights Management), a type of technical standard terms and conditions, which determine how the service can be used. The Consumer Council of Norway also believes that certain aspects of the technical terms and conditions are in breach of the Marketing Control Act.

After 10 years, 325 makeovers and countless pairs of ill-fitting pants, What Not to Wear is signing off the air.
"I'm proud of the work we've done and the lives we've changed," Clinton Kelly tells PEOPLE of his 10 seasons on the TLC show. "And I'm relieved I don't have to point out that dark-wash jeans look dressier than light-wash jeans every day of my freakin' life."
His fellow resident fashion expert Stacy London shares his bittersweet sentiments about the conclusion of the network's longest-running primetime series – but it's not over just yet. Beginning in July, the final episodes will air on Friday nights.
"I'm excited about our final episodes. ... We are getting to do things we've never had the opportunity to do before, and there are many surprises in store," says London. "I do love that we are going out with a bang."
We asked Clinton and London to look back on their decade of helping the fashion-challenged ... and whether they think they've gotten through to anyone:
What is the most common no-no you have pointed out over the years that people still seem to do?
Stacy: I still think people (women in particular) believe if they ignore a problem area of their body by wearing oversized, shapeless clothes, that problem area will magically disappear. Not true. Never will be true. What we try to hide rather than confront and manage is usually the thing people notice first about our shape. Finding tricks to create flattering body shape is the key to style.
Do you think you've gotten through to the American public on any major points?
Clinton: To be honest, despite our best efforts over the past decade, we only seem to have gotten through to a small (but important) sliver of the population. Walk through any airport in America and you'll quickly notice that 99 percent of people should have been paying more attention to us. If there's one thing I wish people would take away from the show, it's that you don't have to be rich to look fabulous. When you dress with quiet sophistication and participate in the appropriate trends for your age and body type, you exude confidence and class.
Stacy: I do think we've gotten a lot of people to hem their jeans and wear jackets, dark wash jeans and pointy toe shoes!
Is there a celebrity who seems to follow most of your dos?
Stacy: I love Jessica Chastain's style, and she's a fan of the show. Don't know if her looking gorgeous all the time is a direct result of her viewership, but I'd love to think so!
What's one of the most rewarding experiences you've had on the show?
Clinton: Several women have met their husbands immediately after leaving What Not to Wear. That's always sweet to hear. We had a woman on the show a couple of seasons ago – I can't mention her name because she asked me not to – who was basically an emotional doormat before she met us. After she left the studio, she felt a level of confidence so strong that she was able to go home and dump the guy she was seeing who basically treated her like crap.
How often do you hear from people long after they appeared on the show – and are they applying what they've learned?
Stacy: I've heard from so many contributors on and off throughout the years. Most keep in touch to show me how well they've kept up their style or ask questions but some like to taunt me with their less-than-stellar accessories choices on Twitter. I'm talking to you, Tenesa!
Clinton: I keep in touch with about 100 former contributors in one way or another. As far as keeping up their appearance, I believe in the rule of thirds: One third stay looking fabulous, another third try with mixed results and the last third immediately revert to their old ways. You win some, you lose some.

quote: It affects handling a bit (IIRC better for racing worse for passenger comfort)
quote: Italian tire maker Pirelli is predicting that over the next decade or two standard tires will change to really tall (>20" rims) narrow tires that look similar to the wagon wheel inspired ones used on early cars. Doing this will let them make the tires significantly narrower (for reduced drag/rolling resistance leading to better fuel economy) while maintaining a similar size contact patch so that traction remains similar to current tires.
quote: Just wondering, what is the advantage of larger wheels? Is handling that much better? Won't tires be much more expensive, and the ride quality worse?
quote: Why not offer it without leather and the same wheels as the Eco which are only 17 lbs apiece?
quote: This is GM's first foray into a compact diesel in the U.S. in quite some time, and they're being cautious. They want to make sure that they hit their target market on the first go round, and not be stuck with a lot full of unsold stripper diesels that no one wants.

If you have kids, one of the questions that parents inevitably have to face is this one: How much should I pay the babysitter? If you want to go out and have some fun without the little one(s), and they aren't old enough to watch after each other, you'll have to hire someone you trust to watch them while you're out painting the town red.
The answer to that question, like the answer to so many like it, is that it depends. What you pay depends on a number of factors. You want to be fair to the sitter, but you also don't want to overpay for the service.
Factors Involved in Paying a Babysitter
As you consider how much to pay the babysitter, here are some things to consider:
- How old is the babysitter?: A teenage girl in your neighborhood isn't likely to cost as much as a college student with more experience. Consider the sitter's age when deciding what to pay.
- What do expect the sitter to do?: Another consideration is what you expect the sitter to do. Are you actually looking for a nanny [3] that can prepare simple meals, do light housecleaning, and take care of other items? Will the babysitter need to drive the children to activities, or pick them up from school? If so, what you pay will increase with the amount of work expect.
- Will the children be awake?: Even if you don't expect the babysitter to take care of other household tasks, alert children are tougher than sleeping children. If your children will be awake, and expect to be entertained, that's more work for the sitter. If the children will be in bed, and all the sitter has to do is be around in case of emergency, watching TV or doing homework, you can usually pay a little bit less.
- How many children are there?: The more children there are, the more you can expect to pay. You might pay $5 an hour, plus an extra $2 for each child beyond two children in a neighborhood like mine. So, if you have four children, the cost might be $9 an hour.
- Location: Where you live matters. Where I live currently, childcare is quite cheap, whether you hire a babysitter or take your child to a daycare [4]. However, when I lived in New York, childcare cost more than twice as much. Take into consideration the "going rate" in your neighborhood. You can ask other parents what they pay, or ask if the babysitter has a set rate.
- Special training and experience: Some babysitters choose to become certified in First Aid and/or CPR. These sitters might charge a little more, since they have specific training that can help your child.
Don't forget to leave money for food you have the sitter order, and offer money for gas or a cab ride if you don't pick your sitter up. Another consideration, of course, is how often you need the services. If you have someone babysit your children two or three days (or more) each week, it make more sense to negotiate an equitable weekly rate. Also, consider that you might provide a raise as your babysitter ages and has more experience, and becomes better acquainted with your children. A good babysitter can become someone you trust and rely on, and you want to make sure that he or she is adequately compensated for the work done in your home.

STEUBENVILLE - Following Friday's victory at Oak Glen, East Liverpool coach Nate Conley was quoted as saying "you never know what you are going to get with Big Red."
On Saturday inside The Crimson Center, Conley and his Potters got a strong early season performance from the Big Red.
Four players reached double figures and the defense did its usual damage (registering 14 steals) as Mike Haney's cagers rolled to a 61-43 victory. The win was the third in four tries for Big Red.

"Anytime you can beat East Liverpool, it's a good win," Haney said. "They're a great team, they work hard, they play physical and they like to get up and down the court. We've been playing them for years and it's always good get a win against them."
Derek Thompson's hoop gave the Potters a 7-6 lead midway through the first quarter. It would be the last time Conley's club held an advantage. Tajuan Lawson countered by swishing back-to-back triples and the hosts were ahead to stay.
Haney's club, playing without senior point guard Periogn West, led 17-12 after one and 27-20 at the half.

EAST LIVERPOOL (2-6): Austin 3 1-1 7; Cunningham 3 3-4 10; Rickerd 0 0-0 0; Emmerling 1 0-0 2; Long 4 0-0 8; Crawford 1 0-0 2; Reynolds 2 0-0 5; Thompson 3 3-9 9. TOTALS: 17 7-14 43. 3-pointers: Cunningham, Reynolds; Rebounds: 51 (Thompson 10); Turnovers: 25.
Big Red increased its advantage to 15 late in the third thanks to the performance of Mylik Young, who picked up a pair of fouls early. He scored after rebounding his own miss, assisted on buckets by Lawson and Chris Smith, then converted a conventional three-point play to make it 41-26 Big Red. Heading into the final period, the hosts were up 45-29.
Lawson, who had a team-high five steals, paced the winners in scoring with 19. Brandon Herring-Hill added 12, John Linn chipped in 11, including a huge fourth quarter three that took the wind out of East Liverpool's attempt to rally, and Young posted 10, eight coming in the second half.
"I was happy with our effort, everyone stepped up," Haney said of Big Red's showing without West. "The kids gave us good minutes when it came to taking care of the ball, coming off the bench and rebounding or playing defense.
"Lawson had another strong game. And I credit Herring-Hill for hustling down the floor behind Lawson and scoring off a couple of misses. We were sharing the ball well, hitting the open men, knocking down some shots for a stretch and getting open looks."
The Potters, now 2-6, were paced in scoring by Hayden Cunningham with 10. Thompson added nine and Aaron Long eight. East Liverpool did outrebound Big Red 51-37, Thompson getting 10. Conley's team did have a rough shooting night, connecting on just 17 of 60 tries.
"We don't face adversity well and that's something we have to get over fast," Conley pointed out. "It was a good game in the first half, and then in the second half we looked a little tired. I really didn't see any effort or intensity the whole game.
"We've played eight games in like 16 days and we haven't had a lot of time to practice or rest. Plus six road games are tough for an inexperienced group. But those are excuses. We didn't box out well, we were awful from the foul line (7 of 14) and awful from the three point line. We didn't do anything well. We need to get back to fundamentals."
Big Red was 25 of 63 in the shooting category, had 10 assists (Young pacing the way with four) and turned the ball over 11 times.
"I like our effort right now, we're playing well," Haney noted. "I was happy with us having only 11 turnovers because we cut it down by half from the John Marshall game. We also created 23 of their turnovers and made some points off of them. We just have to get better at the free throw line (Big Red was seven for 18).
Both teams return to action to Tuesday. Big Red hits the road for the first time this season, traveling to Youngstown Cardinal Mooney.
East Liverpool is "home finally," as Conley put it to face a "very tough opponent" in Salem.

Divorce Forms
The New York State Unified Court System offers free instruction booklets and forms for people starting a divorce.
Before you use the booklets and forms, we strongly suggest that you give serious thought to using a lawyer for your divorce, even if you believe that your divorce will be "uncontested" (i.e., your spouse will not oppose the divorce in any way). There can be a lot more to think about than just ending the marriage and filling out court papers. (For example, there may be property to divide between you and your spouse, or you may need an Order of Protection and/or child support and other financial support, among other things.)
If you are unsure how to find a lawyer, these resources can help you:
- Call the New York State Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service (toll free) at 1-800-342-3661;
- Go to lawhelp.org if you cannot afford a lawyer;
- Visit the court system's courthelp website;
- Contact your local bar association for a referral;
- If you live in the New York City area, go to the Collaborative Family Law Center to learn if you may be eligible for reduced-fee or free collaborative law services through a court-sponsored pilot program.

I remember a while back previews were up for it.I'd really like to see it I enjoyed the anime series and manga.
Hi...there been a very long while I didn't log in 4 some reason...bt anyway thx 4 adding me oo...
I hope that by a Trigun movie coming out someone will start selling the series again. By the time I got into it they had stopped selling it. Anyway I loved Trigun I wouldlove it if they did a movie! (an anime film that is...)
Love... is just a different kind of pain.
I think Funimation picked up some titles and Trigun might've been one of them. So they should be selling it again.--------Anime Beauty Contest Deadline is July 5, 2010. For more information go to my thread http://www.manga.com/forums/anime-beauty-contest

UPPER SANDUSKY - To some superstitious people, the number 13 is one to shy away from. In some circles, it's considered unlucky. The Upper Sandusky Rams must not be the superstitious type. They saw number 13 sitting there, and they went out and grabbed it.
For them, the number represented their 13th North Central Conference win, which would've meant a perfect mark in league play.
The last obstacle between the Rams, the NCC's Black Division champion, and a perfect run through the league was the NCC's Silver Division champion Colonel Crawford Eagles.

Consider that obstacle cleared.
After a tied first half, Upper Sandusky pulled away over the final 16 minutes for a 56-45 victory, and a perfect 13-0 league record.
"It should be a good feeling. I think the girls deserved it," Upper Sandusky coach Brent Fahle said. "I think the girls, every day they've come into practice and they've improved. I think it's a great accomplishment for this group of kids. They work hard and they definitely deserved it."
Fact Box
Upper Sandusky 56, Colonel Crawford 45
Colonel Crawford (17-5, 10-3 NCC): Cassie Sager 1-0-2; Katie Siegel 1-1-3; Courtney Tinkey 1-0-2; Kendra Hudson 2-0-4; Bailey Schott 3-2-9; Natalie Alt 1-1-3; Nickyla Garverick 8-6-24. Totals: 17-10-45.
Upper Sandusky (18-3, 13-0 NCC): McKenna Caldwell 0-0-0; Jenna Holly 0-0-0; Logan Kinley 1-1-3; Amber Cox 3-3-11; Allison Snyder 2-7-12; Alex Cameron 0-4-4; Kalene Johnson 1-1-3; Taylor Graboski 9-5-23. Totals: 16-21-56
Colonel Crawford1281312 - 45
Upper Sandusky7131719 - 56
Field goals: Colonel Crawford 17-60; Upper Sandusky 16-47
3-point goals: Colonel Crawford 1-9 (Schott); Upper Sanduksy 3-6 (Cox 2, Snyder)
Foul shots: Colonel Crawford 10-14; Upper Sandusky 21-31
Rebounds: Colonel Crawford 42 (Garverick 13); Upper Sandusky 37 (Graboski 12)
Turnovers: Colonel Crawford 19; Upper Sandusky 12
"It was important I think to us as a team because last year we got it taken away from us," Upper Sandusky's Taylor Graboski said in regard to falling a game short of a league title last year. "This year we wanted to go undefeated in the league to make a point that the Lady Rams should be noticed, and we did."
The game matched up two of the conference's premier players in Graboski and Colonel Crawford's Nickyla Garverick. Garverick came into Tuesday's game the NCC's leader in points and rebounds with Graboski ranked third and fourth in the respective categories.
"I knew I definitely had to respect her as a post because she's a great player and I couldn't deny that," Graboski said. "I knew I had to step up my game and play tough against her and I had to rely on my teammates to have my back."
On paper the two played to a virtual stalemate. Garverick finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds while Graboski countered with 23 points and 12 rebounds. However, Garverick posted the bulk of her numbers during the first half when the Eagles couldn't get much separation from the Rams and the teams finished the half tied at 20. Graboski took the edge in the second half as her team pulled away.
"I thought we did great on Graboski in the first half, and second half, she came out, she wanted it a little more than we did," Colonel Crawford coach Amber Rall said.
Graboski credited teammate Allison Snyder with providing her with some inspirational words at halftime. After scoring six in the first half, Graboski posted 11 as her team surged ahead in the third quarter, and 17 total in the half.
"I just knew I needed to settle down on my shot because (Snyder) actually said that she had faith in me to make it if I made my bunnies against her and then I knew I couldn't let her down so I started making my bunny shots."
The other big difference between the two stars came from their supporting casts.
Upper Sandusky got 12 points from Snyder, 11 from Amber Cox and some clutch fourth-quarter foul shots from Alex Cameron.
"I thought Alex Cameron stepped up, did a nice job, got to the foul line, hit her free throws," Fahle said. "I thought Amber Cox hit a couple 3s that really gave us some momentum. Allison Snyder played another nice floor game at point guard."
Meanwhile, Colonel Crawford couldn't get a second scorer to help out Garverick. Bailey Schott scored all nine of her points in the fourth quarter when the Eagles were playing catch-up. No other Eagle scored more than four.
"(Garverick is) going to get her points; a good player like that's going to get her points," Fahle said. "But what we wanted to do was make sure that we didn't have some other kid step up for them and hit, not necessarily double figures, but hit 18, 19 points. I thought Logan Kinley did a nice job on the Schott girl and did a real nice job pressuring her. I can't say enough about our defense especially in the second half."
Rall said her team needs to have other players step up if they want to make a run in the upcoming tournaments.
"When Graboski in the first half wasn't hitting they had two other players step up and hit outside shots," she said. "That's huge. That's what makes a good team great. That's what we're at. We're a good team, we need to be a great team. We have to find someone else to step up."

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Scientists have identified a class II (nonclustered) homeobox gene as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The gene, known as H2.0-like homeobox (HLX), is expressed at elevated levels in AML patients, and correlates with poor survival, according to a team at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Moreover, the researchers found that knocking down HLX in both human and mouse AML cells dampened cell proliferation, while mice transplanted with HLX-knockout human or mouse AML cells survived much longer than those transplanted with animals receiving unaltered cells.
Ulrich Steidl, Ph.D., and colleagues' prior analysis of preleukemic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in a murine model of AML had found that HLX was upregulated four-fold compared with wild-type HSPCs, and they postulated that the gene might be involved in malignant transformation. Moving on to look more closely at the gene's role in AML, they found that overexpression of HLX in mouse bone marrow cells impaired hematopoietic reconstitution following transplantation into irradiated recipient mice. The loss of functional hematopoietic stem cells associated with HLX overexpression was accompanied by the development of abnormal progenitors that failed to differentiate into normal blood cells, but proliferated as abnormal white blood cells.
Importantly, when the researchers analyzed HLX expression data from over 350 AML patients they found that 87% overexpressed HLX, and those patients with the highest expression levels had the poorest survival. Conversely, knockdown of HLX in both human and mouse AML cells using a targeted shRNA led to reduced cell proliferation, and increased survival following transplantation into experimental mice. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed that the expression of nearly 400 genes was changed as a result of HLX knockdown in AML cells, in comparison with unmodified AML cells. Genes involved in leukocyte differentiation, cell activation, and cell proliferation were among those most significantly affected. "We specifically found that several key genes involved in the regulation of cell cycle and proliferation, cell death, and myeloid differentiation were significantly changed upon HLX downregulation," the authors write.
Further assays indicated that mechanistically HLX regulates a transcriptional program, including PAK1 and BTG1, which controls cellular differentiation and proliferation. In fact downregulating PAK1 and upregulating BTG1 (through ectopic expression) both had the same effects as knocking down HLX.
Knockdown of HLX in human AML cells also led to reproducible changes in gene expression, and a profile that could be used to predict overall survival. Interestingly, this HLX-induced prognostic in human cells also featured PAK1. "The correlation of HLX and PAK1 expression levels in the murine HLX knockdown model and in patients with AML, together with the observed induction of Pak1 expression upon HLX overexpression in stem cells, strongly suggest that PAK1 is a downstream target of HLX and critically mediates, at least in part, the leukemia-promoting effects of HLX in patients in vivo," the researchers state. "HLX expression levels may be utilized to predict clinical outcome and improve risk stratification ... inhibition of HLX may be a promising strategy for treatment of patients with AML."

David Neese of Star City, W.Va., pleaded with state legislators recently to instill more of a sense of urgency into a program intended to find and rescue children in danger.
Speaking of his own missing daughter, Neese said this: "Changing this law, God forbid, may be too late for Skylar. But please allow for this bill to be debated on the (House of Delegates) floor so other families may not have to go through this horrible ordeal."
It is too late for Skylar Neese, who was 16 when she disappeared from her family's apartment last summer. On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld revealed a body found Jan. 16 in Pennsylvania has been identified as the girl's. An investigation is being conducted by the FBI, Ihlenfeld said.
Neese was seen getting into a vehicle outside her family's apartment. For that reason, local authorities classified Neese as a runaway, though her family said she didn't take contact lenses, money or other items she might have been expected to, had she planned to be away from home for an extended period.
And because Neese was classified as a runaway for a time, no "Amber Alert" - an emergency announcement to law enforcement agencies and the public - was issued.
Would Neese have been located had an Amber Alert been issued quickly? No one can say. Obviously, however, the chance of that happening would have been increased vastly.
The bill her father was supporting would amend the state's Amber Alert program to require announcements of disappearances be made anytime a child is missing and believed to be in danger, not just when kidnapping is believed to be involved.
Even supporters of the bill admit there could be drawbacks to that approach. An increased number of Amber Alerts could dull the public's sensitivity to them and result in fewer tips to police. Still, proponents of the change believe, acting more quickly when children are missing is desirable.
Clearly, that is the right approach. Except where there is persuasive evidence missing children are runaways, it should be assumed foul play has occurred. In such situations, the quicker the word can go out about disappearances, the better. The bill, now named "Skylar's law," should be advanced.
