Lorenzo Lanzi causes a stir as he sets the pace at Magny-Cours on his DFX Ducati, one week on from returning to the World Superbike podium at Imola.

One week on from scoring his first World Superbike podium in more than two years at Imola, Lorenzo Lanzi picked up where he left off at Magny-Cours by claiming the fastest time in Q1.
The Italian, who had only troubled the top ten on three occasions before he finished second in Italy, was amongst the pace setters during free practice around the French circuit but lost time at the end with a tumble.
Nonetheless, despite having most of his rivals surpass his time in sector one, not a single rider could sustain their pace to the end of the lap, allowing Lanzi and DFX Ducati to celebrate at the top of the timesheets.
He was tailed by factory rider Michel Fabrizio on the Xerox bike, less than a tenth adrift, while Aprilia's Max Biaggi and Luca Scassa - who headed the session for much of the time - followed to make it an Italian 1-2-3-4.
A very tight session with just seven tenths covering first down to Ruben Xaus in 16th, it was also a bruising session for some of the higher profile riders as Cal Crutchlow, Noriyuki Haga and James Toseland all endured tumbles.
Crutchlow and Haga still recovered to fifth and sixth, however, ahead of Troy Corser, Carlos Checa, Tom Sykes and Leon Haslam.
Further back, Jonathan Rea was only 15th best, but did complete 22 laps on the Ten Kate Honda.

|Pope Benedict approved the findings of a Vatican panel.
Pope revises stance on limbo held for centuries
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI has reversed centuries of traditional Roman Catholic teaching on limbo, approving a Vatican report released yesterday that says there were "serious" grounds to hope that children who die without being baptized can go to heaven.
Theologians said the move was highly significant -- both for what it says about Benedict's willingness to buck a long-standing tenet of Catholic belief and for what it means theologically about the Church's views on heaven, hell, and original sin -- the sin that the faithful believe all children are born with.
Although Catholics have long believed that children who die without being baptized are with original sin and thus excluded from heaven, the Church has no formal doctrine on the matter. Theologians have long taught that such children enjoy an eternal state of perfect natural happiness, a state commonly called limbo, but without being in communion with God.
"If there's no limbo and we're not going to revert to St. Augustine's teaching that unbaptized infants go to hell, we're left with only one option, namely, that everyone is born in the state of grace," said the Rev. Richard McBrien, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame.
"Baptism does not exist to wipe away the 'stain' of original sin, but to initiate one into the Church," he said in an e-mail.
Benedict approved the findings of the International Theological Commission, a Vatican advisory panel, which said it was reassessing traditional teaching on limbo in light of "pressing" pastoral needs -- primarily the growing number of abortions and infants born to nonbelievers who die without being baptized.
While the report does not carry the authority of a papal encyclical or even the weight of a formal document from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, it was approved by the pope on Jan. 19 and was published on the Internet -- an indication that it was intended to be widely read.
"We can say we have many reasons to hope that there is salvation for these babies," the Rev. Luis Ladaria, a Jesuit who is the commission's secretary-general, told The Associated Press. He stressed that there was no certainty, just hope.

I've done all of 2 dives with my new mask, and it leaks like a leaky sieve .. It only happens when I look up and the water enters the top of the mask. Having examined it closely, it seems as if the top strap isnt quit tight enough.
However, The strap is as tight as it will go, so I need to move the sliding buckle attachment to the 2nd hole on the top strap. Has anyone else had to do this?
Secondly, do you have to strip the unit to clean the purge valve or is it just a case of flushing it through with fresh water every now and then??

Developing generic containers in C++ can become complex if you want to develope truly generic containers (as much as they can get). Relaxing the requirements on type T is the key behind developing truly generic containers. There a few C++ idioms to actually achieve the "lowest denominator" possible with requirements on type T.
It is easy to come up with a generic stack which requires following operations defiend on type T: a default constructor, a copy constructor, a non-throwing destructor and a copy assignment operator. But thats too much!
The requirements can be reduced to the folloing list: a copy constructor and a non-throwing destructor.
To achieve this, a generic container should be able to allocate uninitialized memory and invoke constructor(s) only once on each element while "initializing" them. This is possible using following two techniques:
1. operator new:
void * mem = operator new (sizeof (T) * NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS);
2. construct helper using placement new:
template <class T1, class T2>
void construct (T1 *p, const T2 &value) {
new (p) T1(value);
operator new allocates uninitialized memory. It is a fancy way of calling malloc.
The construct helper template function invokes placement new and in turn invokes a copy constructor on the initialized memory. The pointer p is supposed to be one of the uninitialized memory chunks allocated using operator new.
Moreover, pointers in the range [end, end_of_allocated_range) should not point to objects of type T, but to uninitialized memory. (end can be considered an iterator pointing at an element one past the last initialized element of the container)
When an element is removed from the container, destructot should be invoked on them. A destroy helper function can be helpful here as shown.
template <class T>
void destroy (T *p) {
Similarly, to delete a range, another overloaded destroy function which takes two iterators could be useful. It essentially invokes first destroy helper on each element in the sequence.
Please see More C++ gems for elaborate articles on this topic. (authors Hurb Sutter and Matthew H. Austern)

Tomorrow is Earth Day and it's never been easier or more affordable to look chic and be green at the same time!
Just look at Natalie Portman wearing a cute lacey dress from H&M's new all-white eco-friendly Conscious Collection.
The collection includes stylish designs for men, women and kids and is made from greener materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester. Let me tell you these clothes are cute! H&M Spokesperson Jennifer Ward shares tips for how to do white right.
1. Adopt a sporty, high-tech look. Experiment with contrasting earth tones - or trendy neon colors or go in a girlish, romantic direction instead with sheer dresses, lace and cotton blouses.
2. Make it part of a casual "boyfriend fashion" look with a crisp white men's shirt.
3. Depending on the fabric, white can be very see through. Your undergarments should be the same color as your skin.
4. White will draw attention to certain body parts. Try a white monochromatic look, since it will elongate or use white to accentuate an asset.
5. Wear bold but simple shoes to balance your dress's shape.
Prices range from $9.95 -$59.95. For more info on H&M's Conscious Collection, head to www.hm.com.

The Criminal Assets Bureau is selling a luxury watch on eBay, the first time it has auctioned off a confiscated item on the internet.
The watch - a Ladies Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust - which is fully certified and still in its box was purchased new for over €9,000.
It was seized last year from a criminal in Limerick who bought it for his partner as a Christmas present.
The bidding starts at €6,000.
CAB said it is treating the auction as a test case for the future sale of other seized high value luxury items on the internet, in line with other European police forces.
The money raised will ultimately be handed over to the Department of Finance.
The watch is categorised as used and there are less than ten days left to make an offer.

Ohio State Names Three Firms To Probe Marching Band
Ohio State University has named three firms to work with former Attorney General Betty Montgomery on a second investigation of the OSU marching band. This comes after band director Jon Waters was fired nearly two weeks ago after a two-month probe revealed a "sexualized culture" within the band.
Montgomery will lead the task force and work with outside groups that include Arent Fox law firm, David Vaughn Consulting Group and Ernst & Young.
A fourth cultural assessment firm has yet to be named.
In a statement, Montgomery said, "Understandably, it has been upsetting for many to learn of an Investigation Report issued by the Office of University Compliance and Integrity that says that aspects of the band's culture have created a hostile environment for students and that band leadership failed to take adequate measures to correct the situation and address the situation's effects. "
The firms plan to complete their work and deliver a report to the OSU President Michael Drake and the Board of Trustees by early October of this year.

We're a special lot. And so are our bodies. We have particular dietary requirements and we need to ensure we get certain vitamins and minerals in our bodies every day. So what are the best foods for women? Read on for our list of our top six picks!
Low-fat natural yoghurt is high in protein, low in fat and also offers healthy bacteria or "probiotics" to keep your gut functioning efficiently. By including yoghurt in your diet, you can help ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory digestive tract disorders, as well as prevent vaginal infections. Plus, yoghurt is also full of calcium, which is essential for women to help strengthen their bones and teeth, potentially prevent osteoporosis and ease PMS symptoms like bloating and moodiness. Look for a low-fat, low-sugar option that contains "live cultures" (e.g. Greek yoghurt), and add some antioxidant-rich berries, Brazil nuts or LSA (linseed, sunflower seeds, almonds) mix on top.
Certain fish types are rich in iron, calcium and vitamin D -- all of which are very important for women's health. The omega 3 fats in fish like salmon are also fantastic for the brain and nervous system. The benefits of vitamin D (which is found in fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines) include helping the body to absorb calcium and possibly reducing the risk of osteoporosis and tumours of the breast and ovary.
Beans are high in protein and fibre, low in fat and may also be helpful in the fight against breast cancer. Additionally, they can help balance female hormones, meaning they're very beneficial for women experiencing PMS, peri-menopause or menopause symptoms. Beans are a great source of iron, which helps boost your red blood cell count and transports oxygen through the bloodstream. Iron is particularly important for women as we lose red blood cells through menstruation. Beans are also high in folic acid, which is vital for women who are breastfeeding, pregnant or planning a pregnancy, as folate is believed to help reduce spinal cord defects in newborns.
The soy protein found in tofu is rich in calcium and great for your heart, and also helps to lower your cholesterol levels. Tofu is high in iron, which as discussed earlier, is essential for women's health. Add some cubed, firm tofu to your veggie stir-fry for a healthy and delicious boost.
Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, which may help protect you against breast cancer, cervical cancer and heart disease. It could also potentially keep you looking younger too, as some research has revealed that it may also help protect against UV damage from the sun. Throw some halved cherry tomatoes into a salad, or roast them in the oven for a warming winter side dish.
Berries are packed with antioxidants and are believed to help reduce your risk of heart-related diseases and cancer. Cranberries in particular are great for women's health. The proanthocyanidins found in these types of berries help stop bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder, meaning they essentially help to fight off urinary tract infections (UTIs). Nosh on a few cranberries or drink a glass of unsweetened 100 per cent cranberry juice. Other berries like blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are also fantastic for you as they're high in vitamin C, folic acid and the cancer-fighting nutrients, anthocyans.

Not a lot of gf options for brunch. Gf waffles aren't the best... however, staff very nice and try to accommodate.
In visiting for the weekend. This recommendation is great. Great options for GF. Waitress was knowledgeable about GF. Food was great. GF Waffles were delicious and the BELT with GF Bread was yummy. Atmosphere has a cool vibe. Enjoy!
Waitstaff has a good understanding of food issues. However, the frier for the sweet potato tots is not dedicated.
YUM! LOVED the food and felt like the staff was knowledgeable. Service was slow on a busy Friday evening, but the food (GF grilled rockfish BLT on GF bun) was great! I'll be back!
They did a great job taking care of my gluten-free 4YO. Waitress was very knowledgeable and confirmed that his meal would be cooked in a separate pan and a clean work-space. Very nice (and rare) to have a GF kids option (grilled cheese on GF bread).
Great gf restaurant option! All if our food was delicious and they had the best gf sandwich bun that I have ever tasted. Service was awesome and they atmosphere is warm and inviting. Can't wait to go back!
Yummyand lots of gf options. Specials each day too.
I had heard so many positive things about Toast's menu and their ability to handle gluten-free needs. However, I found a piece of pasta in my a bite of rice. It had fallen into the pot of rice during preparation and been cooked into my meal. I understand mistakes happen, but its just not worth the risk for me to eat here again.
All around excellent. Extremely Celiac knowledgable and friendly.
I enjoyed my meal here! Lots of great options for celiacs! Their tomato soup is incredible AND they make their own ketchup! I would have bought a bottle to bring home were they available! It gets crowded and people are loathe to leave so plan accordingly!
Food was ok. Super busy location.
So many great options! The meats were a bit fatty but it isn't a steak house so can't complain. Went there on a Saturday night, we had minimal wait but make reservations if you go after 7. Many appetizers to try that are GF friendly. It's in a shopping plaza but don't let that deter you.
Really enjoyed the burger at this restaurant. They did have New Planet beer when I went. Reasonably priced.
Awesome place! Great food options. Great service. They even went to their sister totally gf restaurant down the block to get our desserts! Nutella pie, brownie pie and to die for Churros. Wish we lived closer!
Excellent gluten free dinner menu, but limited free beer menu, only cider available
The food was amazing! A must try! So many options
I had the turkey rachel sandwich. loved it! ingredients all tasted very fresh. I had the parm truffle fries I wasnt that impressed. I did love that they offered a nice selection of GF options much more than I am used to.
amazing food and amazing service!!! one of the best restaurant visits to date! and they now have a dedicated gf fryer! It has been a really long time since a meal has impressed me this much.
Wonderful restaurant! Excellent vibe, great service, and the most creative gluten-free menu in town. We had the Pierogi Nachos (very fun flavors), Mexican burger (gluten-free bun if you would like), and the parmesan truffle fries (a MUST). My husband had the fish tacos and sweet potato tots and loved everything. They had a GF dessert option, but we didn't save room. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer. Personally, I will sometimes take a chance if I do not see many fried items on the menu. I did not have any reaction, but understand this can easily change based upon what other patrons are ordering. We loved this establishment and I am sure you will as well!
I took my 8 year old for her birthday dinner because she wanted French fries and I'd read that they have a dedicated fryer. She has celiac disease so we have to be very careful. They do not have a dedicated fryer at all so she was very disappointed that she couldn't have fries after all. She did enjoy her burger on a gf bun, but the rest of the food was a disappointment. Won't be back.
Delicious food great service. Great GF choices. Ask for GF menu. Lots of healthy fresh veggie options with unique and flavorful flavors! They also are kid friendly. Great casual atmosphere . Enjoy!
Great gluten free menu and knowledgable staff!

TAMPA — Don't read too much into the batting order, especially early on in spring training. "There are a couple guys (for whom) I've got spots in mind," manager Clint Hurdle said. "But for the rest, I'm going to run them out there and see what works."
Gregory Polanco in center field today against the Stormtroopers of the Evil Empire? Yep. Hurdle already knows Polanco can handle any outfield position. The skipper wants to see as many guys as he can in games, which means the contenders for the right field job won't be restricted to playing only right field.
After Tony Sanchez clubbed a three-run homer Wednesday in the spring training opener, Hurdle was asked (though not by me) if he's impressed. "Sure," came the reply. "He's on pace to drive in 90 runs. Thirty games, do the math. Let's all make sure to get in front of ourselves. That's one thing we're really good at in spring training." I found Hurdle's dismissive answer a bit condescending. Why wouldn't he take the question for what it was, i.e. a chance to toss a little love at a backup catcher who's ticketed for Triple-A? Perhaps he was merely trying to (over)emphasize the point that spring training stats don't matter and quash any notion of Sanchez making the team ahead of Chris Stewart. Whatever.
BTW, the Carnegie Museum of Art (and if you've never been there, well what's up with that?) will run what figures to be a great exhibit, "Teenie Harris Photographs: Baseball in Pittsburgh" from March 22 through Sept. 22. Included are never-before-seen 16mm film footage of Negro League games at Forbes Field. There's also this shot of Willie McCovey and The Great One at Forbes Field:

I agree entirely, Aidan. Although, between Green and Gold it constantly changes as to which is better (probably the last one I had).
Every time I have had Blue though, I've felt kind of guilty about what I could of had for that money instead.
Aeolus, I bought a pack with the Black, Gold, Green and Blue in it. All 200 ml bottles and not that bad value. Nice presentation too.

If you didn't already know, EA Games and developer Danger Close are working on a follow-up to 2010's Medal of Honor reboot. The sequel is called Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and EA's released the game's first trailer today.
Following in the footsteps of the previous entry in the series, Warfighter follows a group of Tier 1 operatives in an overseas conflict. The game is actually being penned by a few active Tier 1 soldiers, who intend to humanize the ensemble cast in order to make them come off as more than just meat-heads firing off heavy artillery. Furthermore, Warfighter will be the latest EA title powered by DICE's gorgeous Frostbite 2.0 graphics engine.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 23rd internationally. We'll be back with more info when we know it.

Wear indicators
By OK2try
from upstate NY
I bought a set to match the ones I have, so I could use some different shoes with the same pedals. In reading the directions I saw that there are Wear Indicators built into the cleats, and could see that the material on the ones I have been using is way past the worn out point, maybe to the hazardous point. I'm buying another new set. They are easily adjustable and very satisfactory.

These DO NOT fit the Nashbar Izoard
By nullPtr
from Ipswich, MA
I read reviews that these fit the Nashbar Izoard pedals. They do not. I dont really know if they're good or bad because I could not test them, but I thought it was important to let people know that I could not get them to clip into my Izoards.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good Cleats, but not for me!
By Dick Stone
from Chiefland, FL
For some adjustable cleats are OK. Not for me. Went to fixed cleats. Adjustable recommended by Nashbar tech. Pedals are 1980's Shimano Dura Ace PD7401. Would recommended with additional information.

Redesigned ARC cleat is great!
By Road '88
from New Hartford CT
This is so much better than the older style cleat. It fits positively and does not loosen up. The teflon gets rid of the squeaks. You can rotate the heel easily in the range of motion but your heel doesn't move around. This is very good redesign. A minor problem is that it doesn't fit a non Look cleat easily. The rear thickness and the curve ofthe cleat is slightly different from the original.

Ohio State senior gets revenge on Urban Meyer for parking in his spot
Earlier this summer someone made the mistake of stealing coach Urban Meyer's parking spot outside the Ohio State football facility, and the coach decided the proper punishment was blocking him in with his car.
Senior offensive lineman Jacoby Boren noted that turnabout is fair play on Tuesday when Meyer parked in his assigned spot, so he parked his pickup truck directly behind Meyer's car.
It is important to notice that Boren is still in the cab of his car in the photo, meaning he likely realized the idea was good for a photo op. But actually pulling a power move on your coach like this is a quick path to running a lot of laps and spending a lot of time riding the bench once the season starts.

VALLETTA, Malta — With tears in his eyes, Pope Benedict XVI made his most personal gesture yet to respond to the clerical sex abuse scandal Sunday, telling victims the church will do everything possible to protect children and bring abusive priests to justice, the Vatican said.
The emotional moment carried no new admissions from the Vatican, which has strongly rejected accusations that efforts to cover up for abusive priests were directed by the church hierarchy for decades. But the pontiff told the men that the church would "implement effective measures" to protect children, the Vatican said, without offering details.
Benedict met for more than a half-hour with eight Maltese men who say they were abused by four priests when they were boys living at a Catholic orphanage. During the meeting, Benedict expressed his "shame and sorrow" at the pain the men and their families suffered, the Vatican said.
"Everybody was crying," one of the men, Joseph Magro, 38, told Associated Press Television News after the meeting. "I told him my name was Joseph, and he had tears in his eyes."
The visit — which came on the second day of Benedict's two-day trip to this largely Roman Catholic island — marked the first time Benedict had met with abuse victims since the worldwide clerical abuse scandal engulfed the Vatican this year.
"He prayed with them and assured them that the church is doing, and will continue to do, all in its power to investigate allegations, to bring to justice those responsible for abuse and to implement effective measures designed to safeguard young people in the future," the Vatican statement said.
Victims' advocacy groups have demanded that the Vatican take concrete steps to protect children and remove abusive priests and the bishops who protected them, saying the pope's expressions to date of solidarity and shame were meaningless unless actual action is taken.
The main U.S. victims group, Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, said it was easy for Benedict to make promises about taking action to protect children.
"Not a single adult should feel relieved until strong steps are actually taken, not promised, that will prevent future child sex crimes and coverups," Peter Isely, the group's Midwest director, said.
Magro said the men, in their 30s and 40s, received a call Sunday morning to come to the embassy and that the pope spent a few minutes with each of them. He said the overall encounter, which lasted about 35 minutes, was "fantastic."
Lawrence Grech, 37, who led efforts to arrange the encounter, said the pope told each of the men: "I am very proud of you for having come forward to tell your story."
Grech said he told the pontiff: "This a one-time opportunity in life … you have the power to fill the emptiness that I had, someone else took my innocence and my faith."
Grech is one of 10 men who in 2003 filed a criminal lawsuit against four priests the men say molested them when they were growing up in an orphanage in Malta. He and others have complained that the Malta diocese has been investigating the case for seven years and has not yet determined how to proceed against the priests. Three are still working as priests in Malta and one is now in Italy, Grech said.
Benedict met the victims in the chapel of the Apostolic Nunciature, far from the eyes of the media. Two local bishops and several members of the papal entourage were also present. The climate was "very intense but very serene," the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said in a news conference afterward.
It was Benedict's fourth such meeting. He also met with abuse victims in visits to the United States and Australia in 2008, and in Rome last year.
In the news conference on Sunday, Lombardi did not elaborate on the measures mentioned in the statement and said the meeting was a "symbolic" event more than a "legal" one. Lombardi said he did not think the visit would set a precedent for Benedict to meet with victims in every country he travels.
The Vatican statement said that the pope "prayed that all the victims of abuse would experience healing and reconciliation, enabling them to move forward with renewed hope."
Isely called it "astonishing" that Benedict said the Vatican was doing "all in its power" to investigate allegations.
"It hurts and endangers kids when adults confuse inaction with action and recklessness with effectiveness," he said. "It's wrong, when thousands are being molested, to just make vague promises."
Benedict's overnight trip to Malta — originally scheduled to commemorate the 1,950th anniversary of St. Paul's shipwreck and to underscore the Christian roots of Europe and the challenge of illegal immigration — had been overshadowed by expectations that he would make a strong gesture to repair the damage of the scandal.
Benedict has been accused by victims groups and their lawyers of being part of a systematic practice of coverup by church hierarchy for pedophile priests, in his earlier roles as an archbishop in Germany and later at the helm of the Vatican morals office.
BishopAccountability.org, a U.S.-based Web site that tracks abuse, called on Benedict to follow up his words with actions.
"The pope must follow the meeting in Malta by accounting fully for his own role in the crisis and by disciplining complicit officials," the group said in a statement. "Otherwise, it will be evident that he was exploiting the goodwill of the survivors in Malta to improve his image."
Benedict made no direct reference to the scandals during a Mass Sunday morning. He told Maltese to cling to their faith despite the temptations of modern society.
"Many voices try to persuade us to put aside our faith in God and his church," he warned.
Information from the New York Times was used in this report.

"Penguins of Madagascar": Black and White and Blushing With Shame All Over
The Penguins of Madagascar, DreamWorks Animation's new CG-animated series for Nickelodeon, is like half of one of their animated features: a conventional, "irreverent" knockabout comedy that's been shorn of the pathos and "character arcs" that usually burden their movies. In this regard, at least, you can say that it is only half as repulsive as it could have been.
I will say this in the show's favor: It is quite handsome and not entirely devoid of entertainment. Either DreamWorks has emptied its bank accounts to give this series a nearly feature-quality sheen, or the studio has found cunning ways to lower its costs without sacrificing polished surfaces. If it weren't for the shortened running times and the rounded-out stories, you might swear that you were watching segments lifted from one of their features. Penguins, blessedly, is free of the awkward movements and the floating expressions that sometimes mar films like Space Chimps, and the characters have a reassuring sense of solidity. It wouldn't look primitive or low-budget if set beside Toy Story or other early Pixar features. (Its relative poverty of wit and imagination is another matter.) Certainly, no one can accuse DreamWorks or Nickelodeon of stinting on the production expenses.
The stories are also fleet and executed with vigor; if you don't like a situation or if you find a joke unfunny, you don't have to wait long for another one to show up. Action and chase scenes are dynamic, with lots of character movement, fluid camera work, and quick cutting from lots of different angles. Here, again, Penguins holds up well when compared to feature films with presumably larger budgets.
The series, as you can guess, is set in the same zoo and stars the same quartet of penguins as were featured in Madagascar. Life for them seems to consist mostly of faux-commando work, even if such work doesn't take them far from the zoo's confines. Conflict, such as it is, mostly comes courtesy of King Julien, the ring-tailed lemur, and his entourage, who are now living next door to the penguins in the zoo. Each episode is divided into two stories. In "Launchtime" / "Haunted Habitat", the penguins spend the former trying to escape King Julien's house-crashing ways by taking a rocket to the moon, only to wind up on the rooftop of a nearby brownstone; in the latter, they help one of their neighbors investigate some spooky noises. In "Operation: Plush & Cover" / "Happy King Julien Day!" the penguins have to rescue Mort (King Julien's giggling, infantile hanger-on) from a factory when he is accidentally returned in a box of plushies intended for destruction; and they are bribed by the promise of candy into attending a party in King Julien's honor.
Thankfully, none of these stories is particularly plot heavy, and are mostly just excuses for some supposedly funny physical antics and some putatively funny dialogue. I say "supposedly" and "putatively" because there wasn't a single line or gag in these four episodes that made me even smile. In fact, if it weren't for the actors' deliveries, I'm not sure I'd even have recognized that they were meant to be humorous. The characters talk like smart-alecks and they act like smart-alecks, but there's nothing smart in what they say, and their wisecracks and comebacks are at the schoolyard, "That's what you think" level. Story-wise, they feature hardly any invention.
You can sense just how woeful the series is if you compare "Launchtime" to the superficially similar Wallace and Gromit short "A Grand Day Out." Both are about characters trying to escape to the moon; both are about the unexpected things they find when they arrive. In "A Grand Day Out," delicate character animation and an off-kilter eccentricity result in a one-of-a-kind short in which small surprises and unexpected twists build on each other to an unexpected conclusion. In "Launchtime," the penguins' flight unites them with a luckless mongrel cat whose dinner plans begin and quickly end with him trying to trick them into stepping into his microwave. That's the kind of idea that might be developed into a series of strong gags; in "Launchtime," though, that's all you get: the idea.
And that's the basic problem with The Penguins of Madagascar (or, at least, with the two episodes handed out for advance review). It's very much a written show, and one that has not been written out as more than a series of notions. There are ideas for humor: "Oxygen content surprisingly high," one of the characters murmurs as he examines the "moonscape." "Cheese levels surprisingly low." But that's not a joke, and because the speaker is serious it's not a (lame) witticism either. It's just a reference to a hoary old superstition about the moon. Even at the plot level, the stories feel like outlines with blank bits that haven't been filled in. In "Haunted Habitat," the spooky noises are traced to a storm sewer; I'll give you one guess as to what kind of creature they find down there. And once they reach that point, the producers can't do anything except saddle the discovered creature with the voice of Richard Kind doing his patented "nebbishy New Yorker" character.
The same kind of thing goes for the physical humor, which has no twinkle or pacing or rhythm. When King Julien does a pratfall, it feels exactly as though a scriptwriter has simply typed "King Julien does a pratfall" into his word processor, and then passed the script on to an animator who will then plug the "pratfall" algorithm into the computer. The show uses wild expressions and body splats as exclamation points, not because these things are or can be beautiful and funny in their own right. The results are noisy, emphatic, and grim.
Despite its sheen and expense, there's not a lot a difference between The Penguins of Madagascar and some of the stuff Hanna-Barbera used to churn out in the dark days of the 1970s. In both there is the sense that creative elements have simply been dumped onto a conveyor belt to be stamped and shaved and packaged without any kind of plan or thinking that could shape each short into an organic whole: flaws in the writing are baked into the vocal tracks and then petrified in the animation process. The show's polish and energy are such that a conscious attempt to improve the scripts would probably raise it to the status of a moderately funny animated sitcom. But the kind of subtlety that distinguishes Penguins from (let us say) a Backkom short is not something that can be captured by a guy tapping away at his keyboard.
But what's the point of complaining? The thing has a brand name, it looks good, and there's nothing else on TV that is appreciably better. The Penguins of Madagascar will be a monster hit, and no one at DreamWorks will care—if they even notice—how much better it could be.
The Penguins of Madagascar will premiere on Nickelodeon on Saturday, March 28, at 9:30pm (ET/PT). It will begin airing in its regular 10:00am (ET/PT) timeslot on Saturday, April 4.

This also has meant that YouTube videos can stop loading at anytime, and restart, and stop again.

A foam roller is a simple cylinder that can help alleviate pain and muscle tension and serve as an exercise tool. A foam roller can massage your aching shoulder muscles and help to improve your range of motion by loosening muscle knots, increasing flexibility and building your strength.
The latissimus dorsi -- commonly called the lats -- are two muscles on either side of your body, located underneath your arms along your sides. These muscles extend and rotate your shoulders, and are common sources of shoulder pain. To stretch your lats, lie on one side and position the foam roller horizontally underneath the lower arm. Roll your body up and down on the foam roller, using your legs to propel your motion.
The deltoids are three muscles positioned at the top of each arm. They work with your pectoral muscles to flex your shoulder, and also help to elevate and raise your shoulders. To work these muscles, lie on your side with the foam roller positioned perpendicular to your torso, underneath the top of your arm. Use your free arm to maintain your balance, then roll up and down, using your legs and arm for support.
Your pectoral muscles are the large, superficial muscles located on the front of your chest. They work together with the deltoids to flex your shoulders, and also play a role in stabilizing your body as you move your shoulders. To alleviate pectoral tension, lie down with your back on a foam roller, which should be parallel to your spine. Bend your knees with your feet flat on the floor, and your arms extended outward. Take a few deep breaths and settle into the foam roller, but do not roll. This stretches your pecs and can also help alleviate some back tension.
The deltoids connect to your shoulder blade and extend toward your spine on either side. They play important roles in rotating the shoulder blades when you shrug your shoulders. Tension in these muscles can cause shoulder pain, as well as neck and back tension. To stretch your deltoids, lie on your back with the foam roller positioned parallel with your shoulders, and beneath your head. Extend your arms straight down along your sides, then rotate one arm up toward your head in a sweeping motion. Sweep this arm back down and repeat with the other arm for five to 10 repetitions.

TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Iamgold as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, reasonable valuation levels and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- IAG's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.18 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, IAG has a quick ratio of 2.16, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- 43.08% is the gross profit margin for IAMGOLD CORP which we consider to be strong. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, IAG's net profit margin of -9.43% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- IAMGOLD CORP has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, IAMGOLD CORP reported lower earnings of $0.89 versus $1.03 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 153.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $52.90 million to -$28.40 million.

Chennai: DMK chief M Karunanidhi today urged protesting Muslim groups to hold talks with Kamal Haasan to resolve their differences over his mega-budget thriller Vishwaroopam even as a Madras High Court judge watched the film to review the Tamil Nadu government's ban on it.
Mr Karunanidhi said the state government, which banned the film for two weeks, should cooperate in the matter.
Earlier, Justice K Venkatraman of the Madras High Court watched the movie to check if it indeed shows Muslims in poor light as has been claimed by several groups protesting against the film. The court's verdict on whether the film can be screened in Tamil Nadu is expected on Monday.
PS Raman, counsel for Kamal Haasan, said: "The judge reviewed the movie along with representatives from both sides. He will give the orders on January 28."
Although the censor board had cleared the Rs 95-crore film and it was slated for release yesterday, the Tamil Nadu government put it on hold on January 23. It cited law and order concerns following protests by groups against the film's portrayals of Muslims.
PMK founder S Ramadoss too has criticised the ban on the movie. "The Tamil Nadu government has been indulging in acts against the freedom of expression. If there is a law and order situation, it is the responsibility of the government to handle it. It is not appropriate to ban a movie," Mr Ramadoss said in a statement today.
Veteran Tamil film director Bharatiraja said the ban would not only affect Kamal Haasan but all artistes. "We do not know where to seek justice when a movie is banned despite a Censor Board certificate," he said.
Kamal Haasan has described the ban as "cultural terrorism" and the movie as "Muslim-friendly." He held a special screening of the film for the protesting groups but failed to win their approval. Following a petition filed by him, the Madras High Court on Thursday refused to rescind the ban but said that a judge would review the movie over the weekend.
Yesterday, southern superstar Rajinikanth appealed to Muslim groups to work with Kamal Haasan by suggesting changes that would not "affect the storyline". Lobbying against the ban on the film, he said, "I have known Kamal for 40 years. He would not hurt anyone."
The blackout of Vishwaroopam has spread from Tamil Nadu to other cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore. The movie was initially released in Andhra Pradesh yesterday, but the distributor later decided to cancel screenings in the state capital of Hyderabad. The film did not screen at all in Bangalore. Distributors in both cities said they did not want to provoke any violence.
While Vishwaroopam is temporarily banned in Tamil Nadu, Kamal Haasan is in the US for the movie's release there and its promotion; he is expected to return in a couple of days.

B.A.P Ranks High on International iTunes Hip-Hop Charts
B.A.P has taken over iTunes′ hip-hop charts with its second single Power.
According to the iTunes Store′s Top 10 Hip-Hop Album Chart on April 28 (American local time), B.A.P′s Power came in first in Canada and New Zealand. The single was also number two in America and Australia and number three in Japan.
The feat is all the more meaningful as the group managed to beat out global stars like Jay-Z and Kanye West on the chart despite the fact that B.A.P only performed the single two times on KBS′ Music Bank and MBC′s Music Core since the single′s release on April 27.
B.A.P is continuing its successful streak as a rookie, taking over the iTunes charts soon after its debut single Warrior managed to rank number 10 on Billboard′s World Album Chart.
On the April 28 broadcast of MBC′s Music Core, the group garnered praise for its music-video quality performance. It plans to continue on its promotions, performing for the first time on SBS′ Inkigayo on April 29.

Skip to comments.Poll to Freep: Should Idaho college students be allowed to carry guns on campus?
Posted on 01/24/2012 1:30:34 PM PST by marktwain
The poll is on the right side of the screen, half way down. It is rather ambiguously worded, as it makes no differenciation between legal or illegal. However, the Second Amendment is pretty clear.

Of course not!

How would that work logistically? Would you have the students check their weapons with the teacher when they enter the classroom?
Do you think criminals would be thoughtful enough to leave their guns outside the classroom too?
Must be some hanging chads in there.
What do you do when you walk in at the post office or in federal building?
"Not in the classroom. Imo."
I do what's required by law.
Why do you think it's a good idea to create gun-free zones that criminals will ignore.
It was only my opinion. I have teachers and police officers in my family who agree with my thoughts. If the majority people want it, that's a battle, I would not fight against.
You're entitled to you opinion. I'm trying to understand your reasoning.
How do you reconcile the idea of disarming the law abiding with the fact that criminals will ignore the law?
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I really want to know why you think the way you do.

When I voted the percentages totaled 114%.
I recently got into a facebook tiff with a friend of 30+ years over this same issue being debated in NH House for abolishing the carry restrictions on campuses there. This friend is a professor on one of the state campuses and was pushing a petition to urge the legislator to oppose the bill. I used the same logic, articulated it clearly, and all I got was emotional arguments on the level of "I prefer to work in an environment were no guns are allowed". Pointing out that persons with criminal intent don't care about the college's administrative rules, and denying those who wish to protect themselves in instances like Virginia Tech and UofA is unconstitutional and opens the college to potential liability, etc, was all of no import to this liberal friend. All that mattered to her was the emotional factors of "feeling safe". I finally had to un-friend her on facebook because she chose to assassinate my character rather than debate the unemotional facts. I concluded that these people believe they live in a ivory bubble that somehow is immune to the US constitution, as if the college is within the boundaries of a completely different country. Still love her as a friend as we go back to our teen years, but there is just no getting through the real belief that the laws of the land stop at the campus gates, and no one can interfere. I think she may be in for quite a shock.

JERUSALEM, Aug. 29 (JTA) — Israel should stop being so defensive at the United Nations, according to the country's new ambassador to the world body. "I think the defensive approach was derived primarily from Israel's standing in the region," Yehuda Lankri told Israel Radio on Sunday. "But for more than two decades, we have been on the threshold of the peace process — and we have to exploit this new status to try to move from a defensive approach to one of more openness towards the family of nations." On Sunday, the Cabinet approved the appointment of Lankri, a former Knesset member and ambassador to France. The Moroccan-born Lankri, 51, is considered close to Foreign Minister David Levy and has served in the Israeli Parliament as a member of his Gesher movement. Lankri's remarks came as Israel readies for possible diplomatic confrontations at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly, where the Palestinians hope to see a number of anti-Israel resolutions approved. Levy has directed Israel's missions abroad to try to thwart these efforts. At Sunday's cabinet meeting, he protested that the Palestinians negotiate with Israel on the one hand and try to put pressure on Israel and turn international opinion against it on the other. Lankri said Israel should try to get beyond stamping out diplomatic brush fires in the United Nations. "We must focus our energies and creative efforts on advancing central issues and not get bogged down in marginal ones," he said. He added that he believes Israel could be more involved in U.N. activities, especially in the area of humanitarian work.

The Netherlands two biggest mortgage advisory groups are reporting signs that the housing market may be picking up, the Financieele Dagblad reports on Monday.
The paper says the high-street chains Hypotheker and Hypotheekshop have noted the first rise in the number of clients asking for information about buying a house for some time.
'There is a slight move in the right direction,' the Hypotheekshop's director Ron Bavelaar told the FD.
Figures from the national estate agents' organisation NVM show just 17,500 homes changed hands in the first three months of last year, half the 2008 total. However, the NVM has also reported that the market may have reached a low point as the fall in house prices slows.

text: The Cougars won't just visit SeaWorld and the world famous San Diego Zoo when they are in Southern California for the Poinsettia Bowl next week. They will also practice at Helix High, the high school that produced USC and NFL star Reggie Bush, former Utah quarterback Alex Smith and NBA legend Bill Walton. Former Cougars Todd Watkins, Casey Tiumalu and Leon White also played at Helix, which is in La Mesa, Calif. The Cougars will practice from 11:20 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. PST on both Monday and Tuesday, but both practices are closed to the general public, and the media. San Diego State will practice at its own practice facility. The Cougars will visit SeaWorld on Monday at 2:40 p.m., and the zoo on Tuesday at the same time. The Cougars will leave for San Diego on Sunday, and an official team welcome party is planned for 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the official team hotel, the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Resort. BYU freshman running back Jamaal Williams played his high school ball not far from San Diego, about 108 miles away in Fontana, Calif. He attended Summit High School. Williams said Tuesday that his mother has purchased 62 tickets to the Poinsettia Bowl for Jamaal's friends and family members (most will pay her back). "I can't wait for [the game]," he said. "Especially because it is in California, too. It is not too far from home. So mostly all the people back home are going to go to it ... I think they are going to come with us to SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo. I can't wait." Williams said San Diego State was the first school to offer him a scholarship. Remember how the University of Utah and BYU aren't playing football in 2014 and 2015? The Utes released their future nonconference schedules today, and announced that they have basically replaced BYU on the schedules in 2014 and 2015 with Fresno State. Utah will host the Bulldogs on Sept. 6, 2014 and travel to Fresno State on Sept. 19, 2015.

This paper analyses trends in the delivery of hospital services in Brazil, considering the setting, the current situation and its challenges, examining what still remains to be done. The variables studied for the analysis of the setting are: demography, epidemiological profile, human resources, technology, medicalization, costs, review of the role of the citizen, legislation, equity, hospital-centricity and regionalization, care fractioning and bed availability. The Brazilian setting was studied through the supplementary healthcare model, financing and the healthcare area production chain. The observations of the current situation present external evaluation models, outsourcing, public-private relationships, de-hospitalization and financing. The analysis of the challenges examines the need for long range planning, the quest for new legal models for the 'business', the use of information and information systems, cost controls and the need for enhanced efficiency and compliance with legal directives, guaranteed universal access to full healthcare facilities, the inclusion of primary prevention in healthcare procedures, integrating the public and private sectors and engaging physicians in solving problems.

I am trying to set up my first trigger event without success, this is basically what i am trying to do. I have information that is inserted from MS SQL SERVER into the main table cs_levels which resides on Postgres 8.1 on our Linux Red Hat Server. When a row is inserted into the cs_levels table I want a Trigger after Insert to run and then insert the 10 variables on that row into the archive table. I have never worked with triggers before but apparently i cannot pass variables into a trigger function, so how can i do an insert? I noticed a section on specific variables for trigger functions but its not very clear. I could just run the insert query twice from MS SQL Server but i have to use triggers in other places and guessed i might as well face the music now. Thanks David Phillips

Proceeds from all sales go to Designers Against Aids, which will open an international aids education center in Antwerp this coming December.
The six scents were made in collaboration with Alexandre Hercovich, Joachim Correll, Bernhard Willhelm, Cosmic Wonder Light Source, Gareth Pugh, Jeremy Scott, Preen and more.
For the first round of fragrances Six Scents will release each number in a limited run of 2,000 bottles. Meet each fragrance and find out the minds behind them after the jump.

I agree w/ JeepCurly. Oprah can wear her hair however she wants. However, I don't think Oprah is ashamed of her kinky 4b hair. She has never denied her real hair texture. In fact, she actually did a show where she showed how she looked before hair and makeup.
I actually like her lace front wig styles. I do think it looks great on her. This is not to pick on the OP, but why is it a big deal that she wears a wig? Most celebs -- no matter their natural hair texture -- wear wigs/weaves at some point and most of them color their hair. Some even perm or relax.
I also think that most women with Oprah's type of hair would not be able to wear it natural unless they had a lot of power in the entertainment industry. It's an unappreciated hair type. Even though some people with medium curly (3 type) hair face some resistance, it seems like those with wavy or kinky hair face the most resistance.
ETA: I realized that it's a big deal for those who are always told their hair is not good enough or desirable. However, I just don't think it's Oprah's feelings. :-)

By Jamie McAllister
Jorge Santiago in an interview with MMAmania.com
Former Sengoku Middleweight Champion and Strikeforce Middleweight tournament winner Jorge Santiago lost his first two bouts in the UFC to Brian Stann and Demian Maia. However since then Santiago has racked up two finishes in the promotion Titan Fighting Championship the latest one at Titan Fighting Championship 23.
Santiago after his impressive inverted heel hook victory comments on the news that he will now be dropping to 170.
"Yeah, man. I used to fight 185 for a long time. Everybody knows that already. back in Japan, I used to make 182 so I always made easy weight. I never felt like the biggest guy at 185. I considered going to 170 because I'm dropping less than 10 pounds so why not? If I can get a finish over one of the strongest guys at 170 pounds, I think my window is getting closed. I'm 31 years old and now is the time to take this new opportunity, this new challenge for myself and see what happens."
He says he has long considered the move to Welterweight and his teammates assisted him in making his decision on the move.
"Man, since 2010 when I had my last fight against Misaki. We fought five rounds and I like to stay healthy, don't lose too much weight. I used to fight for five rounds and defend the belt back in Japan so I didn't like to lose too much weight and it's getting easier and easier to get to 185 so this year, I just noticed that I can do it. I sit down with my teammates and the doctors and they said it wouldn't be a big problem. I think it's the best decision made."
Santiago when asked how much weight he cut in his last at Titan Fighting Championship 23.
"This last show, I was cutting eight pounds. I stopped eating 24 hours before the weigh-ins. Stopped eating, stopped drinking and just jogged for 30 minutes with the sauna suit and that was it. It's nothing. Going to 170, I'll just get down to 190 pounds, walk around at 190 and it will not be a big problem."
Santiago also feels confident he can make an impact in the UFC at 170.
"I think so. In the UFC, I learned a lot of things. I changed my training. I train way harder than before. My camp has gotten even better. In the gym, I started having different fighters all the time. I think going to this weight, I'm gonna be way stronger and I think it will have me very fast until I'm top contender again, but now 170 pounds as a welterweight."
At UFC 136 Santiago lost a unanimous decision to Demian Maia and thinks now if they fought again at Welterweight the outcome would be very different.
"Yeah man. Definitely. That was the worst gameplan I ever had. Stand and try to bang with him and it's fucked up because he was just trying to put me down and hold me. He wasn't trying to do jiu-jitsu. He scored a takedown and laid on top of me and not doing anything. He just tried to get up and if we fight again, I think a different thing would happen today."
When asked how far away from a recall to the big show Santiago was positive in his response. He has already racked up two finishes since leaving the UFC and feels like one more win might get him back to where he wants to be.
"Man, knowing the big shows, they always need somebody ready to go. I got out, got two good wins and that's what all the big promoters want out of fighters. I had two good fights, finished fights and bring the excitement. I just did it. I'm going to keep doing the same thing. I know it's gonna pop open my door one day and I just try to stay sharp and I know it will happen. There's no way it's not gonna happen. I'm gonna make this move to 170, maybe take one fight, do a good fight with a top guy if I can and that's it. Maybe before that, you never know."

LAHORE, April 17: Following an acute shortage of passport material resulting in a huge backlog of applicants persisting for the last six months, the new administration of the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGI&P) has begun printing 4,000 passports on a daily basis to provide a bit relief to those seeking the vital document.
Authorities are projecting printing of 10,000 passports a day in a week or so after up to 300,000 lamination patches will be available to the directorate as a result of a contingency plan devised by the caretaker government.
"Those who are being issued passports on priority basis are students seeking admission to foreign institutions, patients, elderly persons, applicants for Haj and Umrah, professionals with job offers and those whose visas are expiring," newly-appointed Director General Zulfiqar Ahmad Cheema told Dawn on Wednesday.
Cheema said up to 4,000 passports were being printed every day but with the supply of 300,000 lamination patches the daily production would jump to 10,000 and help address the applicants' grievances.
He said a committee constituted by the federal ombudsman to probe into the delay in awarding contract for lamination patches had started working.
He said his objective was to improve overall conditions in the department and one of the most difficult fronts he was facing was the non-availability of passports to the applicants on time.
When his attention was drawn towards establishment of new passport offices across the country by former PPP-led government and transfer of manpower and logistics from existing offices already deficient in the same, the DG said the directorate was examining all matters with a view to overcome mismanagement in the directorate.
Sources at the DGI&P told Dawn that the interior ministry had approached the Prime Minister's Office to seek approval for adopting an aggressive strategy to eliminate tout mafia and taking action against the staff involved in irregularities.
They said the directorate had exerted pressure on old suppliers to provide 300,000 lamination patches within a few days to overcome the backlog.
They said DG Cheema had written to the interior minister that officials' foreign postings made in violation of merit must be cancelled forthwith. He also urged fresh postings at foreign missions in accordance with seniority and merit.
The sources said it had been brought to the knowledge of authorities that many politically well-connected officials were posted in various foreign missions ignoring merit.
They said the new DG had so far suspended 10 officials in different ranks on charges of bad reputation and corruption, adding that some of them were also got arrested.
They said five agents from Lahore and two from Islamabad/Rawalpindi had so far been taken into custody during a clampdown on tout mafia.

Litchfield High School seniors earn Connecticut Association or Schools' recognition for exceptional work
Published 12:00 am, Friday, March 23, 2012
LITCHFIELD -- Two Litchfield High School students being recognized for exceptional work and good grades on a statewide level will receive awards April 9 during the upcoming Connecticut Association of Schools Art Award Banquet.
Chad Fagan and Danielle Karwowski, both 17-year-old seniors, were selected by their teachers for an outward appreciation of the hard work they show in the classroom, on the stage or in the art room. The awards "are a testament" to the students' hard work, according to Principal Kristen Della Volpe.
"I'm very grateful," said Fagan. "All the things I've been working at in school has paid off. I'm absolutely honored."
Fagan, a musician, said his go-to instrument is the piano, but he also plays the bassoon and bass clarinet, along with being on the swim and baseball teams. The senior was just accepted into the University of Connecticut, where he's contemplating a double-major, though he's not exactly sure what to study yet.
Fagan accompanies the Litchfield chorus and plays piano at the Brandywine Senior Living, along with playing in jazz band and has helped out at The Forman School.
"One of the great things about an award like this is that he didn't strive for it, but teachers recognized him for his hard work," Della Volpe said. "It's a genuine recognition of a natural ability."
Karwowski, who will be attending the New Hampshire Institute of Art for illustrating, but her tenure at Litchfield High School covers an array of artwork that her teachers recognized her for. The three-time Marby Award winner plans on winning again this year and this award puts the frosting on the cake.
"I felt honored," she said.
For something she's been doing her "entire life" since seeing her brother draw, Karwowski believes other students hoping to succeed in the arts should "surround yourself with art and pursue it as much as you can."
Karwowski said she's been working on a skeleton piece, with a human face, showing its lungs for about two months since she got the idea in the summer. Karwowski said this new project can be used for the Marby portfolio.
"We are so very proud of both students," Superintendent of Schools Deborah S. Wheeler said Friday. "Litchfield schools have a long, rich history of the arts and we continue to encourage the nurturing of our students with these programs."
