When the United States invaded Iraq in early 2003, no one – certainly not the chief architects of the war in the Bush administration – expected that combat troops would be on the ground in that country for seven and a half years.
Yet that will be the case when the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces is complete on Aug. 31, 2010. President Obama's timetable announced Friday fulfills a campaign pledge to end U.S. involvement in Iraq as quickly as possible.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have served in Iraq over the last six years – including many National Guard members, reservists and regular military from Northeast Mississippi – have earned the nation's gratitude. The 4,250 who have died there join the honored legions who have given their all in the service of their country.
As Obama said, America's fighting men and women have given the Iraqis a chance for a better future. They have deposed a brutal dictator and, after years of counter-insurgency and sectarian violence, brought a measure of stability out of the chaos. It's now up to the Iraqis to seize the opportunity they've been presented.
Here at home, it's the job of Americans – and especially our political and military leaders – to honestly examine the experience and draw some sober lessons from it.
Clearly, the initial U.S. strategy was flawed and the expectations of its architects decidedly wrong. The mission of overthrowing Saddam Hussein was accomplished with relative ease, but the U.S. was woefully unprepared for what followed. The situation steadily deteriorated and no one seemed to know what to do about it. Meanwhile, the chief justification for going to war – the supposed existence of weapons of mass destruction in Saddam's arsenal – proved, at best, a mistaken assumption.
Eventually President Bush's deployment of more troops – the "surge" – brought increased stability, but not until after significant cost in American and Iraqi resources and lives and damage to American prestige and influence in the world.
None of these strategic mistakes had anything to do with the courage and competence of U.S. troops, which were demonstrated time and again throughout this conflict.
What happens after American troops leave Iraq will determine to a large extent how history will view the decision to undertake this war. If the country evolves into a stable democracy, that will mean a more positive perspective.
But it's clear now that no matter what happens after the U.S. leaves, this war will never be viewed as a model for strategic, political or diplomatic skill and competence. Essential to honoring the troops is to learn from the mistakes so they won't be repeated in the future.

Yes, I'm biased, I admit it. Plus, I'll do almost anything to avoid working on my income taxes, so I started keeping a list of Golden Retrievers who have placed in field trials in 2012.
If I've missed anyone so far, let me know, and I'll correct it. The intent is to keep editing the list as the year progresses.
The # in ( ) is the # entered in that stake. I've noted
points in major stakes in red & bold;
or new QAA
QAA in red, but not bold;
Major Stakes JAMs also in red; (not bold as placement is ***)
points in Derby in blue bold; and
** status achieved in blue, not bold.
Qual 3,4,JAMs are also in blue as that would also be ** status (GRCA system)
Info taken from Entry Express.
I've color coded the dogs' names in a similar fashion: titled: red, bold; *** red, not bold. ** blue. In some cases I have not coded by color, since I'm not certain of whether ** or ***. There is one I'm not sure of. Feel free to fix that for me. I could only go by what was on k9data to do this quickly.

Wendy Williams calls out Heidi Klum for her "disgusting" affair.
Did infidelity end Heidi Klum and Seal's marriage? Was Heidi stepping out with her family's bodyguard before her marriage ended? While Heidi isÃÂ adamantÃÂ that her relationship with boyfriend Martin Kirsten started AFTER her marriage ended, not everyone's buying it. Not only is TV host Wendy Williams NOT buying it, she's going off about it.
Heidi Klum opened up to a sympathetic Katie Couric about herÃÂ budding relationship with her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten, following her split from former husband Seal. But another talk show host won't be inviting the "Project Runway" star on her show anytime soon: Wendy Williams. The bawdy TV host ranted about Klum's romance with Kirsten, calling the story "disgusting" and suggesting that the 39-year-old model had engaged in infidelity during her marriage.
"[Kirsten has] worked for Heidi in the family for four years. Seal, you know what that means — and not just when you were out of town," Williams said. "I don't think this is a new relationship, do you?"
"I haven't reported a story about love this disgusting since Sandra Bullock and that man. It pains me to report stories like this when the woman, in my mind, is clearly in the wrong," Williams said.
Williams also encouraged the 49-year-old singer to go after Klum's money. "You don't let the finances go with this divorce. I don't know how much you're worth, but she's worth more. You need half!"
Klum and Seal split in January 2012, after seven years of marriage. In September, Klum confirmed that she was romantically involved with her South African-born bodyguard. "I trust him with my children's life. He's a great man, you know, and we just got to know each other from a completely different side,"àshe told Couric at the time. She also denied cheating on Seal during the marriage: "It's not true. I've never looked at another man while I was with him."
Here are some new pictures of Heidi and Martin grabbing coffee together in Brentwood, California.

From Last 1 month I am suffering from ankle pain, I have diagnosed fatty liver Nd typhoid before one year. I love of eating oily and sweet foods.
Homeopath, Anand
Ankle pain is due to some other cause. It is not because of fatty liver or typhoid. May be due to some sprain or deficiency. Looking towards your other condition, you should have controlled diet as too much oily fatty food may spoil your liver and may be you can be totally restricted to some food. Instead take care and eat less spicy. For fatty liver, you should take homeopathic liver tonics. They are quite effective.

The cause of this for many people comes in the form of arthritis, or the inflammation of one or more of your joints. There are two main kinds, osteo and rheumatoid, both of which affect the joint in different ways. Turmeric & Ginger Tea.........Turmeric and ginger are both anti-inflammatorys.You can take these in a capsule form or make a nice spicy tea without milk and sugar to enjoy daily.-2 cups of water -1/2 teaspoon ground ginger -1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric -Honey to taste 1/2 cup of Epsom salt -A large bowl -Warm water Directions Fill a large bowl with warm water and add ½ cup of Epsom salt. Stir it around, and then submerge your sore joints in the liquid. If you are experiencing pain in a less convenient place to soak, such as your knees, try taking a bath with Epsom salts. Run a tub full of warm water and add 2 cups of Epsom salt. Soak for 15 minutes (at least.) Get more magnesium. Rub a bit of olive oil onto your sore joints twice a day, massaging in to each one gently. You can also take 2-3 tablespoons daily, but be sure to give up some other form of fat due to the high calorie count in the oil (rest easy, these are good calories.) Going for a brisk walk-start with 15 minutes and work your way up into a solid daily routine. -Doing joint-targeted exercises-certain stretches and exercises specifically target joints to help rid them of stiffness and pain. take steam bath and oil massage.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
BYHALIA – Elizabeth Towle had no intentions of becoming a teacher when she arrived at Harvard University as a freshman in 2006.
Six and a half years later, the Swanzey, N.H., native is wrapping up her second year teaching at Byhalia Middle School and preparing for a third.
"When I got to Harvard, I didn't think teaching was a prestigious enough career," said Towle, who graduated from the university in 2010 with a social studies degree – a selective program in which students create their own course. She also traveled to India as a Fulbright Scholar.
Her plans began to change during her freshman year as she taught American government lessons to middle school students in Cambridge and Boston once a week, as part of a program she joined to share her interest in politics.
"I quickly found out, it wasn't about teaching about democracy," she said. "I just liked teaching and working with kids."
After she completed her Fulbright studies, a friend from Harvard received information about the Mississippi Teacher Corps program in an email and sent it to Towle.
Towle was impressed by the program's size – it seemed small and intimate – and by how much its manager seemed to care about the state and its schools. She applied and was accepted.
The program, which placed her at Byhalia Middle, requires a two-year commitment. She will stay longer.
"What kept me here a third year, and I'm not sure how long I'll stay, is I absolutely love my students," said Towle, who teaches eighth-grade reading. "There is not another way to describe it. I love my job, and I have not bee absent once in my two years of teaching.
"I adore them. I am impressed by how hard they work considering the obstacles they face."

I've been considering converting my 20 gal bow front tank to saltwater. I've always wanted a seahorse tank. Even though I've never personally kept a saltwater tank, i'm always up for a challenge. How much of an investment would this be and what would I need?

This is the best recipe I have ever put together that uses whole wheat flour in a muffin, and you can't even tell, which is the kicker for me. Why eat something that's whole wheat just because it's healthier, but you don't really enjoy it that much. I also love that applesauce replaces the oil just as easy as pie, and I actually prefer them made with applesauce for that little extra flavor. There is very little sugar and what I use is brown instead of white, plus only 1/2 cup of chocolate chips instead of the usual entire cup. You also need large amounts of spices to make up for the lack of sugar in the base, and the amounts I add make up for it nicely. As long as it's a hit with the kids, you won't find me changing my recipe!
2 eggs
1 cup of pumpkin
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of oil or applesauce
1/4 cup of water
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 degrees
Start with your eggs, crack them into your mixing bowl.
Add in your oil or applesauce, I only had oil in my cupboards this time, and I really wish I had the applesauce instead, it's so much healthier and adds a nice natural sweetness to the recipe.
Add in your cup of pumpkin. When I processed and froze my own pumpkin for baking purposes last fall, I was amazed at how light colored it is compared to the canned pumpkin. Which then only makes my nose wrinkle up thinking of all the preservatives and added coloring to the canned varieties! Mine looks like a light baby food squash, not pumpkin.
Add in your water, you need it so you end up with moist muffins.
Add in your brown sugar.
Mix that up really thoroughly.
Take another bowl and put your whole wheat flour into it.
Add in your tsp of cinnamon….
Your 1/2 tsp of nutmeg…….
Your 1/2 tsp of cloves…
Your 1/2 tsp of baking soda…and your two tsp of baking powder which I neglected to take a picture of~ Magpie Fail~
Take your whisk and mix them completely.
Add in your chocolate chips.
Mix them into the dry mixture.
Now here is the only tricky part. When baking with pumpkin, you can't over handle it or the end baked result goes rubbery. Add the dry mix into the wet, and very gently mix it together until just…JUST….mixed. Like there are wee little bits of flour still not mixed in, but you can mix a little when you are putting them into the tins. Make sense? Don't manhandle it. Gentle.
This makes 12 perfect sized muffins, even though it may seems that its crazy to fill the muffin tins to about 3/4 full. Trust me, the whole wheat is dense. Bake them at 375 for 15 or so minutes until done.
And come out as beautifully rounded topped muffins. Healthy, Hearty and Has chocolate. The three H's. Yum.

Mallards win to avoid three-game skid
May gets 11th save of 2013
MADISON, Wis. - The Madison Mallards snapped a two-game losing streak Thursday night, but they needed extra help from their closer to do it.
Hunter May shut out the Green Bay Bullfrogs for the final 2 1/3 innings to help the Mallards hold on to a 6-5 victory. For May, it was his 11th save of the season, which leads the Northwoods League.
The Mallards go three runs in the third, and scored the rest of their runs in the sixth inning, thanks to a homer by Tate Matheny and RBI's from Erik Forgione and John LaPrise.
The Bullfrogs would come back in the seventh, thanks to a two-run home run by Ryan Drobny. However, May came in with runners on first and third and picked off Tom Sawyer at first before throwing one pitch.
The Mallards are now 11-6 in the second half of the season. They go on the road for a three game road trip before the all-star break next week. They play their next home game next Thursday at the Duck Pond.

Staff Senate
The Staff Senate is the representative body for the staff assembly, which includes all Santa Clara University employees whose relationship to the University is primarily staff rather than faculty or student and who are not represented by a collective bargaining unit.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The Staff Senate shall exist to contribute to the success of Santa Clara University, to the growth and welfare of its staff employees, and to the promotion of a positive and supportive work environment. As a constituent organization, along with the Faculty Senate and Associated Students, the Staff Senate shall operate as a recognized part of the University governance system to provide a forum for open communication and ongoing dialogue among staff and between staff and administration. The Staff Senate shall be a consultative and deliberative body with authority to make recommendations on all matters which have a significant bearing on the working environment of the staff. The Staff Senate, through its elected representatives, will serve as the official nominating body for staff appointments to administrative committees, and for other task forces and search committees as requested.
The Staff Senate exists in part to contribute to the growth and welfare of the staff and to promote a positive and supportive work environment. It is a recognized part of the University governance system that provides a forum for open communication among staff and between staff and administration. It is a consultative and deliberative body with authority to make recommendations on all matters which have a significant bearing on the working environment of the staff. It also serves as the official nominating body for staff appointments to administrative committees, and for other task forces and search committees.
In the past, the Senate has promoted the interest of the staff in a number of ways: sponsoring annual events such as the Staff Faire and the SCU Day of Service; promoting sustainability by advocating for a limited number of free parking permits for those who bike to work; sponsoring forums related to staff concerns; providing staff with opportunities for volunteer service; publishing the Staff newsletter; and much more.
The Staff Assembly is divided into 21 groups of departments based upon a "commonality of interest." For example, staff members in the Philosophy, Music and Physics departments are assigned to the Arts & Science group while staff in Undergraduate Admissions, Financial Aid and Student Records are assigned to the Student Administration group. Each group has one or more representatives depending upon the number of staff in the group. Senators are elected for a term of two years, and terms are renewable.
The Staff Senate meets on the third Thursday of each month from 11 a.m. to 12 noon. Representatives are expected to attend these meetings regularly and, if they cannot attend a particular meeting, to arrange for someone from their group to attend in their place.
Representatives are also encouraged to participate in Senate programs by serving on one of several committees: Event Planning, Communications, Volunteer Service, Elections, etc.
As to the time commitment, some representatives simply attend the single monthly meeting while a representative on a committee should expect to devote perhaps four or five hours a month to Senate business.
The Staff Senate provides a valuable service to the SCU staff. Please participate by nominating yourself or someone in your group who you feel will contribute positively.

Former director of Louvre to present lecture, Nov. 6
Posted October 31, 2001; 05:34 p.m.
Pierre Rosenberg, director of the Louvre museum in Paris from 1994 until this past April, will present the James Haley '50 Memorial Lecture at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6, in McCormick 101.
The title of his address is "Georges de La Tour: An Exemplary Case of a Painter Whose Reputation Was Revived Thanks to Art Historians." La Tour was a French painter who lived from 1593 to 1652. For three centuries, his work was attributed to other artists until art historians properly identified it in the early 1900s.
A distinguished art historian, Rosenberg is a member of the Acadimie Francaise. He has published extensively on painting and drawing of the 17th and 18th centuries and has organized numerous exhibitions throughout the world.
His lecture is being organized by the Department of Art and Archaeology .

Green Roof Monitoring
Queens Botanical Garden has enlisted the expertise of Columbia University's Center for Climate Systems Research to monitor the water and energy balances of the Visitor Center's green roof. Since April of 2008, the instrumentation installed on the green roof and the roof of the Administrative wing of the building has been logging data about the green roof's weather conditions, soil moisture, soil temperature, soil surface temperature as well as recording data on surface temperature of sample white and black roof surfaces.
Our 3,000 square foot green roof is one of five green roofs in the New York City area currently being monitored by Dr. Stuart Gaffin of Columbia University.

I tried to experiment with calculating days, hours, minutes, and seconds between current time and a future time. but I found I always got one extra hour,does anyone know where the problem is?
var date = new Date("12/21/2013 00:00:00 GMT-0500");
var now = new Date();
var timeDiff = date - now;
var days = Math.floor(timeDiff/(1000*60*60*24));
var hours = Math.floor((timeDiff%(1000*60*60*24))/(1000*60*60));
var minutes = Math.floor((timeDiff - (1000*60*60*24)*days - (1000*60*60)*hours)/(1000*60));
var seconds = Math.floor((timeDiff - (1000*60*60*24)*days - (1000*60*60)*hours - (1000*60)*minutes)/1000);
console.log(days + " days " + hours + " hours " + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds!");
date is GTB Daylight Time.now is GTB Standard Time.... or the other way around, depending on where you're asking.
Daylight and Standard time differ by an hour.
The extra hour implies that now is standard time and December is DST. If it were the other way around then it would be an hour less rather than an hour more.
Run the code. Even if browsers are not consistent about which one is Standard and which one is Daylight, all of them give the same one extra hour difference: GMT+0100 vs. GMT+0200.
IE10Sat Dec 21 06:00:00 UTC+0100 2013 Thu Aug 21 23:44:42 UTC+0200 2013

Some more readup: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11887934/check-if-daylight-saving-time-is-in-effect-and-if-it-is-for-how-many-hours.
ALL browser will identify the same one as standard and the same one as daylight - which is which depends on the timezone/location the local computer is set to and has nothing to do with the browser.
There will be three possible results for that date comparison depending on where in the world the person running the code is located. 1. If their location is currently on standard time and will be on daylight time in December it will be an hour more than expected.2. If their location is currently on daylight time and December is standard time then it will be an hour less than expected.3. If their location does not use daylight time at all then it will not be out either way.
Again, just RUN the code, ANALYZE the results.As you can see from the results I posted above, NOT ALL browser(s) will id the same one as Daylight. I'm not sure what your angle is arguing against the obvious...
From the results you posted above ALL browsers show now to be standard time, December to be Daylight time based on the timezones - why Firefox has the narrations on the end backwards isn't going to make any difference to the time calcularions or which timezones that the calculation works with. I didn't even realise that the browsers were displaying such things on the end as I never display the dates like that.
If I were to run that same code here in Australia then instead of all your results matching my number 2 point above it would instead match the number 1 point. Someone closer to the equator where they don't have daylight time it would not have the hour difference either way.
indicates that there is a bug in that version of Firefox that has reversed the narrations on the end. UTC+1 is GTB standard time and UTC+2 is GTB Daylight time irrespective of which browser you are using.
You should really take a closer look at the code and at the results.I'm in northern hemisphere, so from the results I posted all but FF show Daylight for me for "now", not Standard. It's the reason I said that "even if browsers are not consistent".
Date is an object with many properties and methods. There isn't a single way to display dates, but that's the default display.
I don't understand why aren't you just running the code at your end and analyze the results? I don't believe using the console is so difficult. Anyway, since you're on southern hemisphere, "now" for you is Standard.
You are correct.That's what I meant by "... or the other way around, depends where you're asking".
I have - everything that I have said is based on those results. The only thing I hadn't done before my prior posts was to display the results using the format where the Firefox bug causes the Standard/Daylight references to display backwards. You seem to be concentrating so much on that one bug that you are completely overlooking how dates and times work outside the computer and what the computer should be (and is except for that bug) doing to match.
Not really, no.In post#3, you quoted my first post, post#2, implying I was only accounting for one scenario: northern hemisphere. I wasn't.
Hopes this clarifies things.
Regarding the FF bug, I thought it was a worthy mention, especially since you resorted to caps to enforce a slightly wrong point of view.
My post #3 was simply expanding on your post #2 to clarify that the way around that applied in the OP's location. I was not disagreeing with you as to that elsewhere it could be the other way around.
The only other discrepancies that have shown up in this thread is that Firefox is reporting things backwards as to which timezone is which and you got things bacvkwards in post #8 as to which browsers are misreporting your current timezone.
Apart from those discrepancies we are in agreement.

I've got them on disc on the way cool (out of print) trilogy box set from about 10 years ago: http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cg...8001&meta_id=2.
If no one immediately jumps to your aid with readily-made MP3's, I'll ask around and see if I can save them as MP3's for you.
That's my jacket!
Which one? The new Ewok or old one? I have the new versions of both of those, but not the old ones.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
The originals... the new tracks are called "Jedi Rocks" and "End Celebration".
I LOVE "End Celebration" because it's not as "Muppet Show" sounding and has a little more nobility to it than the "Ewok Celebration". HOWEVER... I DO like both of those pieces nonetheless.
Mission accomplished!
Thanks to everyone who offered their assistance. A big thanks to dear R2Dee2 for coming through. You're awesome!!
Thanks for being a great group of people!!!

Even as medical science advances, demand for health services increasingly outstrips supply, revealing critical flaws in the systems we use to deliver care.
In some countries healthcare costs are growing twice as fast as inflation; in the United States alone more than $850 billion is wasted each year on things like duplicate lab tests, preventable conditions, and inefficient paper-based systems; and millions of people every year are injured because of prescription medication errors.
It doesn't have to be like this. Healthcare systems can be managed with the same efficiency and success of any other complex system, from electronic banking to telecom-munications. They can yield the same benefits from the deep stores of data being produced every day. Standards can be defined. Data can be exchanged. And the industry can use analytics to diagnose and treat patients with greater quality, efficiency and purpose.
All of the tools and technology to effect this transformation already exist. And the path has already been defined. It is a path to more affordable healthcare. A path to better health. And a path to smarter healthcare.

Like a movie hero, the NAACP's new, young national president, Benjamin Jealous, swept into the 900-inmate Maine State Prison in Warren on Monday, quelling protests among the prisoners and, at least temporarily, rescuing the organization's prison chapter from being snuffed out by state corrections officials.
This is the story as told by inmate Michael Parker, the chapter's leader. He said Jealous and representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Portland branch were the prison group's "saviors" in negotiations with state Corrections commissioner Martin Magnusson and prison officials.
But prison budget cutbacks — Magnusson admitted they were a behind-the-scenes cause of the contention — may get worse, and their consequences could again stir up inmates, who treasure their few social and service activities, which they saw being squelched.
One of the most active prisoner groups, with about 70 inmate members, the NAACP had protested the prison's recent tightening of control over prisoner organizations. Officials had demanded approval of groups' officers, strict limitations on fundraising — including on total dues, thereby capping enrollment — and a maximum of one meeting a month per group.
"Since July we've only been able to meet twice," Parker said in a prison interview. The new policies, he added, would have destroyed the organization.
The NAACP was also concerned that the new restrictions would kill the "re-entry" program it has proposed to help prisoners get ready for life in the outside world as their sentences end. The prison provides little re-entry guidance. And the NAACP feared its program of providing educational videos to inmates would die.
The policies also upset other inmate groups. The 25-year-old Long Timer's Group had complained in a letter to the Phoenix that the restrictions had ended its program of photographing prisoners with family members in the visitors' room.
More broadly, a Long Timer's Group representative, Charles Whitehouse, protested "degeneration in every crucial area of prison life: food, activities, programs, visits, mail, and overall staff attitude toward rehabilitation."
Emerging from the closed-door negotiations, Magnusson and Jealous said in a news conference they had agreed the controversial policies would be re-examined, with a January 15 deadline for results from the next round of negotiations. Magnusson said he had never intended to cap enrollment in prisoner organizations.
He and Jealous also announced that the NAACP prison voter-registration drive held earlier this year would become annual, and that Magnusson would ensure prison staff would not treat Parker unfairly because of his activism. Parker has previously complained he has been "harassed" by guards. Magnusson admitted "inappropriate action" had been taken against the 32-year-old Parker, who is serving 20 years for robbery and assault.
"This facility is small enough to solve problems," observed Jealous, who has been involved in prison issues around the country. Nationally, African Americans are imprisoned at a much higher rate than whites.
Magnusson said he had instituted the rules to treat each prison group equally, though he conceded that "budget problems" — not enough staff to "cover" prisoner group meetings — were one reason for promulgating them.

Get the Wolves newsletter
11:56 21st October 2013
Legend shocks loyal fan
If you really MUST miss a Wolves home game for the first time in over 37 years, what you need is a good excuse and something to soften the blow.
Ipswich-based super-fan Peter Abbott certainly had both on Saturday as he came to terms with being cast in the totally alien role of Molineux match-day absentee.
No-one would begrudge him not being here for our game against Coventry City, given the family calling that came with his step-daughter Sarah Butler's wedding to Jono Liddell on the same afternoon.
But what better to lift him on what he admitted was an 'emotional' evening than the sight of Steve Bull turning up at the function among the guests?
It wasn't quite a case of 'get me to the church on time' for Wolves' all-time leading scorer because the civil ceremony took place at Haughley Park, a 17th century barn near Stowmarket in East Anglia. But after Football League sponsors Sky Bet got in touch with Wolves on Friday, a series of phone calls saw the plan come together and Bully on his way to the happy occasion in time for drinks and an appearance on the celebratory photos.
They saw to it that he even handed over a shirt signed by Kenny Jackett's team and Saturday's match-day programme - autographed by himself.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw Bully in the room," Peter said today. "It had been a wonderful day and anyone who knows me realises what a big hero he is to me, so that made it even more special.
"I was amazed Sarah and Jono kept it secret from me. It could easily have slipped out. The club wanted to know the postcode of the venue but I just thought they were going to send something for the bride and groom.
"The first thing Bully said when he saw me was that he didn't know how I managed that journey so often, even just for home games.
"He was fantastic with everyone, full of life, and I'm so grateful to Wolves and Sky Bet for organising his appearance. Jono is a Newcastle fan and was heard to say it was a pity it couldn't have been Alan Shearer, so I had to put him right on that one!
"Having Bully there, plus all the publicity before and after, just added to the fun of the whole weekend.
"I was kept in touch with events at Molineux by texts from friends. The signal wasn't the best but I received the goal flashes pretty quickly and also the final score. Then I had a quiet ten minutes on my own afterwards to reflect. It was a bit emotional and my wife came over for a word."
Peter's loyalty - all the more astonishing as he is originally from East London and lived in Essex before moving to Ipswich in recent years - is best illustrated by the fact that he saw much, much more than every one of the 561 League and cup matches Bully played for Wolves during his ever-present Molineux run.
In fact, the 56-year-old started on the extraordinary sequence more than ten years before the legend's debut here and extended it by over 13 years after his enforced retirement.
The defeat against Tottenham in March, 1976, had been the last Wolves game he had missed here and he has also been at every Wolves game - and numerous before that - since a train delay saw him shunted on to the sidelines while en route to Blackburn in 1985.
He has been at about 1,900 Wolves games since 1976, so no wonder Sky Bet Head of Sponsorship Edwin Martin said: "We thought he'd appreciate a nod from Steve Bull to acknowledge what a great fan he is."
It probably hasn't escaped the notice of Wolves supporters that the story of Peter's pre-match anguish travelled far and wide - in the press, on national and local radio and even on television. The cyberspace coverage included a tweeted photo of his London Wolves friends marking his absence in suitable fashion on the train on Saturday, signalling politely that they are now one game ahead of Peter!
All is about to return to normal, though. While the happy couple are now in the Maldives on honeymoon, Peter has an even more intoxicating location on his mind. He's heading for Molineux for tomorrow night's game against Oldham Athletic at the start of another long run of successive match-day appearances.

Echo 3 report
Just returned from Christmas Island on a trip where several of us targeted Trevally for the week. My primary Trevally rod for this trip was an Echo 3 12 wt., with an Echo 2 12 wt. as back up. Several of us spent the majority of the week sight and blind casting for Trevally using 3/0 and 4/0 Puglissi-style Milkfish patterns and poppers. The rod performed quite well even when we encountered strong winds. The Echo 3 is noticeably lighter than my Echo 2 and easier to cast, yet still retaining the backbone needed to cast large flies and handle Trevally. I tested some of the top-end Sage, Winston and Scott saltwater rods before deciding on the Echo 3. It was difficult to justify spending twice as much for rods with only slight differences in their casting performance from the Echo 3.
As an aside, I used an Echo 3 10 wt. for a week in Belize last winter fishing for Tarpon and Snook in the mangroves. This required continuous target casting throughout the day. The rod performed quite well as we made repeated casts into pockets, channel mouths and under-hangs while the guides polled us along the mangroves. We had to make fast accurate casts and the rod performed as expected.

Senior Josie Rossi may have been farther down the offensive stat sheet, but she was one of the key cogs for the Rams girls basketball team just the same.

One-man play on James Baldwin to be performed, Nov. 16
Posted November 11, 2004; 04:28 p.m.
"James Baldwin: Down From the Mountaintop" will be presented at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, in Taplin Auditorium, Fine Hall.
The one-man play was written and will be performed by Calvin Levels. The award-winning actor is a member of The Actors Studio and has worked with many theaters across the country. His performance will be followed by a discussion led by Cornel West , the Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion.
The play traces the life of the American writer who is recognized for his novels on sexual and personal identity, along with his plays and essays on civil rights.
The event is sponsored by the Program in African-American Studies, Princeton Black Men's Awareness Group, Black Student Union, Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding, Fund for Reunion, LGBT Student Services and Queer Graduate Caucus.

Talking with Nathaniel Facey, the 25-year-old alto-saxophonist in the London band Empirical, you find it difficult at first to pin down where and how the quintet (who play the Newport Jazz Festival August 10) developed their unusual compositional style. Some tunes have a straight-ahead post-bop feel, like Facey's "Blessing"; with its standard song form mixed up with contrary keys and rhythms, it's bright and hooky, like a cross between Ornette Coleman's "Blues Connotation" and Miles Davis's take on "Freedom Jazz Dance." Other numbers, like Facey's "Palantir" and pianist Kit Downes's "Dark Lady," are episodic marvels, one theme supplanted by another, each solo with its own background setting in the shifting textures of the piece. Although all five players in Empirical impress, it's the writing that impresses most on their homonymous debut — the piquant ensemble voicings, the unfolding narrative structures.
Over the phone from London, Facey names an array of influences: Wayne Shorter ("particularly his current quartet"), Steve Coleman, Tim Berne. All of these offer keys to the band's individual playing, even particular rhythmic or harmonic devices. But they don't explain "Palantir," whose 16-minute length is more the result of detailed writing than any extended solo passages.
"I think it's a lot of things," says Facey. "But we're all fans of films and visual arts. For myself, I really love films and animation, as well as the dramatic nature of film music. That's something that's an inspiration: the more creative scores and really nice films. The music of The Lord of the Rings [Howard Shore] is really great, Pan's Labyrinth [Javier Navarrete] as well. So there's definitely the pictorial thing, as well as trying to conjure imagery or play in a really dramatic way."
"Palantir" was inspired in part by "the mystical seeing stone" of that name from The Lord of the Rings. (Facey says he was watching the DVDs of the movie during the piece's gestation.) Drummer Shaney Forbes's "Kite" conjures the flight of a hawk over the Tuscan town of Vinci; it's dedicated to Leonardo. Phelps's lovely ballad "Clapton Willow" is about a district in Northeast London (not the guitar god) and a willow tree that lends a sense of calm to the troubled neighborhood.
Empirical is a cooperative venture — and it sounds like one. Here's the ensemble balance and attention to tone and detail that Wynton Marsalis began to reintroduce into jazz beginning with 1988's The Majesty of the Blues combined with the blurred mix of through-composition and improvisation that were a hallmark of Andrew Hill (another band hero). Facey and Jay Phelps are capable of ripping through the theme of Downes's up-tempo "Fat Cat" in the kind of bebop unison sax/trumpet pairing that's been standard since Bird and Diz. But just as often, the writing places them in carefully poised voicings — the hop-scotching counterlines of "Palantir" and especially "Dark Lady."

text: A Ugandan man who lives in Saco has been convicted of helping arrange a scam marriage so another man could become a legal permanent resident of the United States. Federal prosecutors say 35-year-old Ronald Serunjogi was convicted this week of helping another Ugandan man who had overstayed his tourist visa pay a Lewiston woman who agreed to marry the other man so he could became a lawful permanent resident. Serunjogi assisted that man, Sampson Sengoonzi, in preparing documents to immigration authorities in support of Sengoonzi's application. Immigration authorities detected the fraud, denied Sengoonzi's application and referred the matter for criminal investigation. Sengoonzi was previously convicted and sentenced for his role in the scheme and has been ordered deported. Serunjogi faces up to five years in prison at sentencing.

Professors to discuss book on structural artist Candela
Posted January 29, 2010; 02:11 p.m.
Princeton engineering professors David Billington and Maria Garlock will discuss their book on Spanish engineer and builder Félix Candela at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2, in 138 Lewis Library.
The book, titled "Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist," explores the career of Candela (1910-1997), who is best known for the elegant thin-shelled concrete structures he designed and built.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Candela built hundreds of such structures near Mexico City, many of which are still standing. His most dramatic buildings include the Los Manantiales Restaurant, a round building with repeating arches that resembles a giant clam shell, and the Chapel Lomas de Cuernavaca, a church with a parabola-shaped spire.
Billington and Garlock refer to Candela's work as "structural art" and write that it illustrates three important tenets: "The first is the true ethos of engineering, namely the drive to conserve natural resources; the second is the ethic of engineering, to resist wasting money; and third, the aesthetic of engineering, to avoid the ugly."
Their book, which was named one of the top 10 architecture books of 2008 by ArchNewsNow.com, features photographs, working drawings and essays.
Billington and Garlock led Princeton engineering students in a project to recreate Candela's masterworks for a fall 2008 exhibition at the Princeton University Art Museum.
Billington is the Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor of Engineering and a professor of civil and environmental engineering emeritus. Garlock is an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering.

Using AnyLogic and agent based approach to model consumer market Maxim Garifullin, Andrei Borshchev, Timofei Popkov. EUROSIM 2007, September 9-13, Ljubljana, Slovenia
During the last decade numerous developments have resulted in significant methodological progress in consumer market modeling. While traditional statistical and equation-based methods continue to be useful, new approaches, such as Agent Based Modeling (ABM) successfully address their well known limitations, e.g. the necessity of "perfect mix" assumption for aggregated categories of consumers . In the highly dynamic, competitive and complex market environments (telecom, insurance, leasing, health, etc) the consumer's choice essentially depends on a number of individual characteristics, inherent dynamics of the consumer, network of contacts, external influences that may be best captured within the Agent Based modeling paradigm, especially taken the high availability of individual-centric data from the CRM (Customer Relationships Management) systems. The leading market analysts worldwide are using ABM to gain deeper insight in the market dynamics and to elaborate optimal strategies for their companies. Although there are no universal straightforward instructions for building Agent Based models, there are certain common steps and patterns. The goal of this paper is to introduce the patterns in consumer market modeling that are most frequently met in our consulting practice. In the final section we also discuss the limitations of ABM.

Team Jake, or Team Edward? If you were on the fence before, just take a look at Taylor Lautner (Jake from the Twilight saga) at the VMAs. He was probably the best dressed guy in attendance. This still of him in the audience makes me think that Kristen should have cheated on Rob with Taylor instead...

And now from best dressed male to worst dressed guy group: Green Day, seeing you all together in public like this made me smile, but realizing that you're style has been static since 1999 made me cringe.
Someone forgot to tell Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr that animal prints, skirts with side-slits, and platform sneakers aren't okay unless you're a Spice Girl. Oops. Actually, I can't tell if she's going for vintage girl-power, or channeling J-Woww via Snooki in The Craft?

At least these guys got the memo! Ron, Sammi, Vinny, Deena, and Pauly D. all graced the red carpet, and there was not a leopard spot or a "situation" in sight! Good job, guidos and guidettes.

Nicki, Nicki, Nicki. This catsuit confuses me. This wig confuses me. It must have confused her chauffeur, too, because he let her wear his hat on the red carpet. Too bad that wasn't enough to salvage the look.

Also looking fantastic beside an impeccibly dressed Minaj were rappers Lil' Wayne and Drake. Lil' Wayne gets my "best use of accessories" award, for not only rocking shades inside, but pairing them with bright red headphones, and various rubber bracelets. Lil' Wayne is now a mallrat, Drake, surprisingly, is now... a guido?

When Miley chopped off all her hair, I was like, "bold move." But I'm not sure about this prehistoric pompadour. Her dark liner and simple eye shadow look great, though.
(Photo: WENN.com/FayesVision)
Bad girl RiRi has swtiched it up yet again. She donned new cropped hair and a stunning backless, white dress on the red carpet. And like fellow stunner Taylor Swift, Rihanna had no shame in bright red lipstick and heavily lined eyes, and didn't look like a prostitute.

Now here's dinosaur hair done right. Still not my favorite look, but tough CoverGirl Pink has always done her own thing and somehow, it usually works. Plus, DO YOU SEE THE SPIKES IN HER HAIR? Like I said. Dinosaur. Done right.

This was very good.I used the marinade and sauce on shrimp as well. Made grilled surf and turf.
SOOO easy. Everyone loved it. Definitely a goto recipe from now onUsed breasts instead, added garlic and cilantro and marinated for 3 hours. Would have done overnight if had time.
Yummy. I did add some garlic, fresh chopped cilantro. Boneless chicken thigh and marinated for 6 hrs, could have done more.
This was delicious, but with a few changes. I made this with boneless chicken thighs, I used 2 chipotles we had left over, juice of 2 limes, a squirt of honey and a squirt of olive oil, salt and pepper in the mini chop. We let the thighs sit in the marinade for about 20 minutes and grilled them, briefly on medium direct heat. Yes, simple and delicious.
Wonderfully simple and very tasty. We had chicken breasts on hand so we used them instead of the thighs, but they worked just fine. We also had slightly milder Cholula chipotle sauce instead of Tobasco, so we added some adobo sauce and minced chipotles, and followed other users' suggestions about garlic and cilantro. We marinated the chicken for about 45 minutes, but I thought that was plenty. I guess you could go longer if you wanted to. Simple, fast, and a welcome change from standard barbecued chicken.
family loved the flavor and spiciness -- very good and easy to make did this with chicken breasts and worked well.
Simple recipe with great flavor. I doubled the sauce for pkg of 12 thighs, marinated overnight and broiled instead of grilling. The flavor has a nice subtle smokey flavor from the chipotle tabasco. Definitely needs overnight to marinade.
Excellent. I made it exactly as required by the recipe (which is unusual for me) and grilled on the stove top, as directed. It was simple and very good.
We love this recipe!!! I also add some garlic and cilantro to it. Have used it over fish and steak as well. Usually serve as a burrito, but have also had it with a big mexican salad. We usually make this at least once a week in the summer!!!
This has been my go-to grilled chicken recipe since it was in the magazine years ago. Tasty, quick, and easy - we keep the Chipotle Tabasco in the cupboard just for this one.
