Falling short of expectations, "Disclosure," the steamy Warner Bros. drama about sexual harassment in the workplace starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore took in $10 million on its debut, capturing first place at the box office in a largely lackluster weekend for most films. Warner Bros. had to have hoped that the film would do better, given the racy theme and major stars involved.
Meanwhile, Disney continued to cruise with the season's major hit, "The Santa Clause." The holiday comedy starring Tim Allen raked in another $8.9 million, sending its five-week total climbing toward the $100-million mark.

BOSTON -- If you think you've rarely seen a series with so many swings of momentum, you're right. This was only the third time in history BOTH teams had a three-game winning streak in a seven-game series.
The Cubs and Marlins both did that in the 2003 NLCS and the Red Sox and Yankees did it in the 2004 ALCS. Everything seemed to be going the Indians' way with a 3-1 lead but they never got momentum again after the odd off day before Game Five. The Red Sox responded by outscoring the Tribe, 30-5, over the final three games.
It would have been nice if the Indians had gotten something from 100-RBI man Travis Hafner (4 for 27, 12 Ks) or leadoff man Grady Sizemore (6 for 27). And don't even get me started on the 0-3 work of C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona. But in the end, the Red Sox had Josh Beckett and the Tribe didn't. The Red Sox had Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis and the Tribe didn't. And the Tribe had Joel Skinner while the Sox didn't.
Poor Skins. The ex-Bisons manager entered Game Seven blooper films forever (think Grady Little and Lonnie Smith) when he held Kenny Lofton at third instead of letting him score the tying run. The Fenway crowd was incredibly nervous at that point. Sox history buffs will note they blew a 3-0 in Game Seven of the '75 and '86 World Series and a 4-0 edge in Game Seven of the '03 ALCS.
If this one slips away and the Indians tie it, who knows what happens? Instead, Casey Blake bounces into a double play and the Sox explode for eight runs to bounce the Tribe home.
Have your say here. Did the Sox take this series by the throat and grab it away? Or does C-Town stand for choke?
See you back here Wednesday night.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — HAMPSTEAD — After years of planning, Hampstead Central School finished upgrades to its gymnasium and cafeteria space last week with the installation of a new climbing wall.
The 40-foot wall, supported mostly by community donations, is now being integrated into the school's core subjects. Through it, gym classes are now helping reinforce content from other class subjects.
"Math has to be supported everywhere, not just in your math class," principal Dillard Collins said.
As students from a first-grade class climb across the wall, Collins describes a game physical education teachers are playing with students. It involves reaching out to balls on blue hand-grips, tossing them into buckets near the wall and practicing multiplication tables to see how many points they earned or lost after hitting or missing the shots.
Angie Ingraham, a physical education teacher at the school, uses the lesson with her students.
"They can't stop their learning in the classroom," she said. "For something that looks fun for them, it's educational. We have so many hidden math things."
Sandy Kwiecien, the school's other physical education teacher, said she could see other subjects being used in gym exercises as well.
"I would like to see social studies, going from continent to continent," Kwiecien said. "We can work directly with a classroom teacher and have an intersection to curriculum that is currently being taught."
The wall cost around $9,730, after a $2,010 school discount. While the district chipped in $1,231 for the wall, community groups covered the rest of the bill: Community Resources Association donated $1,000, the Parent Teacher Student Association gave $2,500 and the Hampstead Mother's Club helped by giving $4,999.
Rebecca Gagne, a member of the Mother's Club, said the wall is redefining gym class by "switching it up for kids."
"There's a lot of buzz about this wall from all the ages," Gagne said.
When asked what she could see taught with the wall, she suggested "language arts — climb to the sight word."
The wall is made up of 10 plywood panels that are 4 feet wide and 8 feet high. They're sprayed down with a magnetic material, lending the wall its official product name: Magna Wall.
Each wall is covered in holes that grips are drilled into. The panels each support over 1,300 pounds of weight hanging off them — or 21 second-graders at 60 pounds each.
The grips are dishwasher safe, and can be removed and cleaned in a dishwasher, Collins said.
The wall was purchased earlier this year, but its installation was delayed as the school geared up to replace the gymnasium and cafeteria's floor.
The floor was something school leaders "should have replaced three to five years ago, but we basically said there were other fish to fry," Collins said. "The district has been trying to figure out how to do that and balance that against other needs."
The floor was designed for 15 to 20 years of use, but it had gone far beyond that. Every year, the maintenance costs to fill the seams and keep the floor flat were costing the school, according to Collins.
This summer, it was torn up, exposing another problem: While the concrete slab beneath the floor was cracked and in need of easy repairs, water was also coming up through the floor, Collins said.
After two weeks, around $30,000 was spent to fully repair the floor and start laying the new floor.
The new floor has "more forgiveness" than the last one because of the material, which is softer and can cushion falls, Kwiecien said.
"We were looking for a safer floor. It has better cushion and is safer with better traction," Kwiecien said. "Safety is our first concern."

Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 allow gamers to feed their need for other entertainment. Now it looks as though Nintendo will soon follow suit, adding video to its offering.
While you were opening presents yesterday, Nintendo was announcing that the Wii will soon have video features. Apparently, some will be original programming, which will be available through the web. Gizmodo has a very scary image to match the good news, saying that some of it will be free and some will not.
The service is a joint effort with advertising firm Dentsu. "Nintendo and Dentsu shall use the environment surrounding the Wii so that living rooms with Wii-ready TVs would become more of a fun area for communication among families and friends," the firms said in a statement.
We're not entirely sure what that means, but the service is scheduled to launch in Japan next year. Expect it to spread to other markets at some point.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

"Operation Dark Heart" could be the fastest selling book off the shelves this Fall, but it's likely that you will never see a copy. The Government is planning to buy up the complete first run of "Operation Dark Heart" before anyone gets a chance to read it.
"Operation Dark Heart: Spycraft and Special Ops on the Frontlines of Afghanistan" was written by Anthony Shaffer, who worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency, and was set to be released on August 31st. According to the Washington Post, 10,000 copies have already been published, but so far, they haven't reached bookshelves.
The New York Times reports that the Department of Defense believes that the book reveals government secrets, and plans to buy all 10,000 copies of the book so that they can be destroyed.
The issue that the Department of Defense has with "Operation Dark Heart," is apparently the names that are used in the book. The book is currently going under a security review. If it is decided that the book compromises the war effort, it will likely be purchased and destroyed. If that is the case, a second printing will follow with the "sensitive" information removed.
The Washington Post reports that the government and the publisher, St. Martin's Press, are trying to agree on appropriate content for a second printing of the book.
St Martin's Press say that "Operation Dark Heart" has a new release date of September 24th.

Within the lock module, we need to check the uniqueness of the string (*after* hashing, or *after* masking all but last-4-chars), and refuse to mount if the string (as processed) is not unique (against other filesystems mounted on *this* machine, which is the total scope of our ability to determine uniqueness). I think the hash makes it less likely that there would be a collision (even if the user continues to use the same string that he's used for memexp, which had no 4-last-char restriction), and gives the user/admin more flexibility in contents of the field. 8-char or longer hash would make a collision even less likely. Is there any advantage to using fewer than the total 31 available chars in the lockname? Either way, we'll need to update documentation (HOWTO(?), man pages), to describe what's going on, and issue a meaningful error message when a collision occurs, perhaps including *both* of the original, unprocessed strings, as well as the colliding hash/last-4-char results. -- Ben -- Opinions are mine, not Intel's ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

The idea sprung after I realized that I got tired of anime icons and when it finally occurred to me that I've been using a Love is War wallpaper for more than a week now. I did a bit of photoshop to produce different colored versions of the original megaphone image so that the colors would correspond to a specific vocaloid/s (yellow being Rin and Len's).
I hope you guys like! Enjoy! :)

Daily Item
---- — By Anthony Mitchell
For The Daily Item
MIDDLEBURG -- Sometimes in sports, there are teams that you know are dominant after taking one look at them.
It could be crisp shooting or perfect passes, but overcoming such a squad is difficult. Unfortunately for the Mifflinburg Wildcats, Selinsgrove is one of those juggernauts in boys lacrosse. The Seals opened up a large lead early in Thursday's game and did not look back, winning 22-4 in the semifinals of the District 4 Class AA tournament at Sports Boosters Athletic Park.
Despite the win, Seals coach Tom Garlock kept his focus on Tuesday's final against Lewisburg.
"You have to play each game as it comes along," Garlock said. "This game was a nice win."
Mifflinburg continued to fight throughout the game, breaking the shutout midway through the fourth quarter on an unassisted goal from Logan Taylor. Taylor added another goal, firing a shot into the top of the cage past Tommy Frederick, who replaced Reid Betzker late in the game. The Wildcats scored four of the final six goals, with Zach Diehl adding two goals.
Austin Stroup wasted little time getting the Seals (15-0) on the board with a goal 64 seconds in and assisted on a tally from Zach Adams 26 seconds later. The Seals grabbed control of the early draws and limited the Wildcats to one shot on nearly every possession against Reid Betsker in net. That is, if the Seals let the Wildcats cross midfield before swarming the ballcarrier and forcing a turnover or errant pass.
On many possessions, including three of the next four goals, the Seals were able to quickly move the ball upfield off of one pass or by having the player who ended the draw with the ball on his stick take the ball to the net himself.
The Seals quickly established the tempo of the game, forcing the Wildcats to run, run and run some more to halt the scoring. The Seals benefitted from strong play on both sides of the ball, including the attacks and midfielders on offense.
"The midfield and our attacks mesh well," Garlock said. "In each consecutive game, they've been playing better."
The Seals ended the half with three goals in a 30-second span, taking the draw, making one pass in between defenders and firing a shot, allowing the Wildcats little time to drop back into any kind of a defensive set. The Seals continued to pepper Peter Chlebowski with shots to end the half, but Chlebowski made clutch saves and limited the damage to 14-0 at halftime.
With the mercy rule in effect for the second half, the Seals slowed their offensive output, but added three goals in the first three minutes of the half with a rolling clock.
On a loose ball with about 11 minutes remaining, Marcus Winn gathered the ball for the Seals and passed to Branden Sheaffer, who was cutting in front of the cage for a goal to run the score to 16-0.
n Lewisburg 10,
Danville 9
MIDDLEBURG -- An eight-point day from Nate Fox combined with a stout defensive performance from Calvin Reif propelled the Green Dragons into the finals of the District 4 playoffs.
Fox scored six goals and had two assists for Lewisburg (10-6), while Calvin Reif added a goal and an assist along with collecting 10 ground balls in the contest for the Green Dragons.
Zach Schutter and Tyler Blue scored three goals apiece for Danville (9-8) in the back-and-forth game.
The Ironmen stayed with the Green Dragons behind a 14-save day from goalkeeper Evan Tanner.

The Political Revolution is Here
Most of us have known that this moment in history would come. Even in 1976 as a senior in high school I came to the realization that at some point in history, the selfish juveniles of the 1960's would be in charge. The generation that rejected the greatness of their parents and grandparents, the generation that is so self righteous, and the generation that has rejected the traditional values of the United States, are in charge. They are the Congressmen, the Senators, the State Senators, Professors, and the educational leaders.
The 1960's generation has destroyed the family. It has destroyed the educational system. It has rejected the greatness of America. Our children are taught in our public schools that the United States is evil, that it is a bully, and that the United States should be more like Europe. Our children are taught that 9-11 was an inside job, that we dropped the atomic bomb on Japan because we are racists, and they are taught to reject the constitution. The family has been destroyed by the 1960's generation's creation of the welfare state and the rejection of the notion that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Perhaps the most dangerous manifestation of the 1960's generation is Barack Hussein Obama. President Obama is the creation of 1960's Marxists and people dedicated to the destruction of the United States. His mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a communist. His political mentor Bill Ayers a member of a radical terrorist group that bombed government buildings. Obama's mother was a radical Marxist and Obama writes in his book "Dreams From My Father" about his Socialist and Marxist ties. To his credit President Obama is simply doing what he said he was going to do. He told a union gathering after the last Presidential election that he was going to fundamentally change the United States. That change is a United States that resembles Europe. The change he is bringing is socialism or perhaps more accuretly statism.
There is little doubt that the political revolution has begun.
The only question is will the American People win. Ronald Reagan once wrote "If we lose the Republican Party to socialism, we've lost our last line of defense." Republicans need to act like Republicans. There are those in the Republican Party who argue that the Republican Party needs to be more moderate. Some like former Governor Whitman pontificate that the Party needs to move to a Pro-Choice position and that "this is her Party too." It is not.
Clearly the Republican Party needs to continue its return to its conservative values. We need to understand that the local and national media will never be on our side. We need to remember that the liberals will make fun of us. They will insult us and they will demean us. We need to stop worrying about hurting someone's feelings.
Victory is our only acceptable outcome of this political revolution. We will be victorious once we realize that we need to take back our school boards, our towns, our states, and our country. To borrow a phrase, "question with boldness." When a liberal lies, call him on that lie. Defend what you know is the truth. Support leaders who support us.
The revolution has begun.

Rep. Jason Murphey
Special to The Sun
Several years ago, I was told, the Senate debated making government information accessible on the Internet. A very powerful state senator purportedly opposed the proposal because he said if his constituents wanted to see government information badly enough, "They could drive to Oklahoma City and get it themselves."
This is a perfect illustration of the Oklahoma legislators' mindset at that time. They knew they could hide information from the taxpayers by making it hard to find, inconvenient to access and by guarding it with red tape and bureaucracy. While the information was technically accessible for all intents and purposes, it might as well have been hidden beneath the Pittsburg County courthouse.
In a few weeks, the House of Representatives Government Modernization Committee will conduct a review of the recently created transparency tools that allow you to hold your government accountable. These tools have been developed in the past few years by the Legislature, the state's Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
It has been our goal to transform Oklahoma state government from the antiquated black hole of secrecy into a leader of transparency. We are deploying new technologies to give citizens oversight.
As part of this effort, several web portals have been created: OpenBooks.ok.gov allows you to see the government's spending, Data.ok.gov publishes hundreds of entire sets of state and federal data, Documents.ok.gov contains thousands of documents and Forms.ok.gov provides hundreds of state government forms.
Over the years, not only have we created these sites, we also have followed up on their implementation and added new transparencies. For example, OpenBooks was initially created to publish government spending, but we later added tax credit transparency to the site.
These sites have started attracting national attention. Earlier this year, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group released its 2013 transparency grade. In the past, the group had given Oklahoma a "C" grade on transparency. However, this year, the group upped Oklahoma's score to an "A". Oklahoma is one of just seven states to receive an "A" grade.
State Finance Director Preston Doerflinger points to an interesting fact. He states that the grade did not include all the transparency sites. By making a few technical changes in the way the sites are accessed, we may improve both public access and Oklahoma's transparency grade. Our committee will consider this proposal in its upcoming hearing.
Additionally, in June, the Documents.ok.gov site was designated as a "2012 notable document" by the American Library Association.
The success of these sites may be directly attributed to Doerflinger, State Chief Information Officer Alex Pettit, Libraries Department Director Susan McVey and their staff.
The Government Modernization study will review the success of these initiatives and the need for additional reforms. For example, it appears now as though certain state agencies are not following the laws requiring them to submit their documents to the Oklahoma Department of Libraries where they are made public. If this is the case, it will be our duty to publicly expose the names of the offending agencies.
We have come a long way from the days when Oklahoma politicians sought to thwart transparency, and there is much more reform to come.
REP. JASON MURPHEY, R-Guthrie, represents House District 31, which encompasses all of Logan County and a portion of northern Edmond. He may be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Super Bowl-champion New York Giants will play five primetime games and face seven playoff teams this season.
Three of the primetime games will be played in the first four weeks of the season with two being midweek contests, including the season opener on Sept 5, a Wednesday night meeting the Dallas Cowboys.
The NFL also has the Giants facing the Panthers on a Thursday night in the third week of the season and playing the Philadelphia Eagles 10 days later in a Sunday night contest.
The Giants will face the three NFC teams – Atlanta, Green Bay and San Francisco – they defeated in the playoffs. They also will have games with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Green Bay, New Orleans, and Baltimore.
New York won't have a bye until Nov. 18.
"We will have a week-in and week-out challenge, not only in who we play, but with the different elements of our schedule," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "We play on four different days and we have five night games. Our first three games are Wednesday-Sunday-Thursday. We play two road night games early, come home for a week and then go to San Francisco. Our people are going to have to be really good about it."
The Giants ended a mostly ho-hum regular season with consecutive wins over the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys to snag the NFC East crown at 9-7. From there, they defeated the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers in the NFC playoffs, before knocking off the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

As a new dad-to-be, Kanye West is showing his support for Kim Kardashian and their unborn child.
West has reportedly spent about $100,000 total for at least three trips via private jet from Paris to Los Angeles to attend expectant mother Kim's doctor's appointments.
Despite traveling abroad to attend events and performances and record his latest album, the Chicago-born rapper is working hard to be involved in his unborn child's life.
He attends Kardashian's doctor's appointments as often as he can and is even said to discuss the checkups with doctors beforehand to make sure he can clear his hectic schedule, reports TMZ.
Kanye has also flown Kim out to Paris on a private jet so they could spend extra time together before Kim is set to give birth in July.
Sounds like Kanye is really stepping up to the plate.

Most people remember the 1994 Winter Olympic figuring skating competition for the drama between Nancy Kerrigan and her nemesis Tonya Harding.
Craig Norris was four years old. The media frenzy around Nancy and Tonya wasn't a concern. He just enjoyed watching the skaters landing salchow and axel jumps.
At one point, while watching the skating the coverage, Norris pointed at the television and said, "I want to do that."
So his dad took him to the rink. Norris held his dad's hand for the first lap around the oval, then let go and skated around the ice himself. At the age of four, Norris had found what he loved.
Norris, a San Ramon native and 2008 Cal High grad, will compete with his pairs partner AnneMarie Pearce in U.S. Figure Skating Championships next month at HP Pavilion in San Jose.
This is the second consecutive year Norris and Pearce have qualified for the national championships. Last year, they finished ninth in the novice division after just practicing together for a couple months. This year, after finishing second in the sectional championships, the pair is competing in the junior division (the second highest division).
"The goal is finish in the top six," Norris said. "But the ultimate goal is to just put together two solid, fun performances."
The road Norris has taken from being enamored with the sport as a child to being one of the top figure skaters in the country as an adult wouldn't have been possible without dedication, perseverance and sacrifice.
As one can imagine, being a little boy figure skater didn't always go over well with his classmates. Norris played other sports — soccer, track, baseball, lacrosse — but figure skating was his passion and wasn't terribly concerned what others thought.
"I got made fun of a lot," Norris said. "Figuring skating isn't viewed as the most masculine sport, but by the time I was in eight grade and people knew I was really serious about it and I started qualifying for national competitions, people started thinking it was cool."
He worked hard at it. Practicing for hours nearly every day while at Cal High and qualified for the national championships. He said being able to skate at the highest level wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Cal High principal Mark Corti allowing him to take some independent study courses.
But Norris faced a obstacle as a skater that he had no control over.
"I kept getting bigger and it started taking a toll on my body," said Norris who stands 6-feet tall in a sport in which being small is usually an advantage.
"It got to a point where I had reached my goals in skating and college was coming up and I was just going to focus on school."
Then came a phone call. Coaches Jenni Meno and Todd Sand, who won three national championships in pair skating, called Norris' coach and said they thought he would make a great pair figure skater and asked if he was willing to go Southern California to give it a shot.
"I always wanted to do pairs but there were never any girls in the area," Norris said. "In pairs, everyone is friendly and supportive of each other. I liked that and wanted to be part of it."
He started pairs skating in 2008, but it didn't go smoothly. His first couple partners weren't the best matches, but after returning to San Ramon he found an old friend who turned out to be a perfect partner.
Norris and Pearce, who is from Orinda, have known each other since the two were kids and practicing in Dublin. She had a skating career of her own, but wanted to try pairs and asked Norris to help her.
"I started teaching her some basic pair things and she kept developing from there," Norris said. "She was picking it up quick and we had an official tryout and it went great."
They've now been training together for almost a year and a half in Southern California. They're on the ice for about five hours a day, five days a week and a couple hours of physical training after every practice.
"He's a very easy going but he takes skating really seriously and is passionate about it," Pearce said. "We do spend a lot of time together but it's just like having an older brother."
Their long program routine for the championships is a cowboy-themed hoedown, which Norris said the two enjoy performing. The short program will be danced to the song Malagueña, which figure skaters Sasha Cohen and Kristi Yamaguchi have also used.
"Last year was a big learning experience," Norris said.
"We've since gone back to the basics and started meshing as a pair and developed our skills. We've come a long way and I'm really excited about competing at the junior level at nationals."

Friday, 10th June
Activists arrived outside of Axa in Birmingham City Centre again today to hold another protest against the company because of their shares in AstraZeneca who are a major customer of Huntingdon Life Sciences.
We shamed them for their unethical dealings with AZ and HLS, both of which are large-scale vivisection companies who have been exposed time and time again for routine horrific animal cruelty and scientific fraudulence.
Members of the public continue to become more aware and they shown us their support by watching our protest, talking to us about the campaign, taking leaflets and giving us their words of encouragement. The public are on our side, Axa!
Axa claim to be an "ethical company", who have ethics in their stances and have even boasted about their dealings with the RSPCA in the past. If they really care about ethics in the slightest then they would not be dealing with the vivisection industry which every day tortures thousands of animals in horrific experiments where animal's skulls are cut open, pipes are forced down their throats, gas masks are fitted to their faces, poisonous substances are forced into their eyes, skin and flesh, body parts are dismembered, and they are brutally murdered in order to make products that are all useless and some even dangerous which go on to make ill and kill humans alike. Clearly, Axa, you are just lying and rather than being ethical you are choosing to try to make money out of suffering. Until you stop dealing with vivisection companies like AZ and HLS we will continue to shame your business and inform the public about your dirty dealings.
Next we moved on to demonstrate against Industrial Cooling Systems (ICS), who have a contract of supplying equipment to Huntingdon Life Sciences, who have been exposed by undercover investigators from TV-crews, Newspaper journalists and Animal Rights groups many times and every time extreme animal cruelty and scientific fraudulence has been seen.
Quickly into the demonstration, security guards rushed to lock up the main entrance again and stand guard by the doors and windows watching us. A loud demonstration continued where protesters continue to urge ICS to end their contract with Huntingdon Life Sciences.
We were watched by multiple members of the building from various different companies, whilst a few others from around the area approached us to find out more and take leaflets.
The police later came with all sirens blaring, where security guards moaned at them about the demo taking place and so the police officers decided to use bully tactics and physically removed us from the site. This will not stop us though, and we'll be back again soon to protest against ICS until they get some morals and drop HLS!
FedEx, the third company on the receiving end of regular SHAC protests here in the Midlands because of their ties with the vivisection industry (providing their services to companies like Huntingdon Life Sciences, Harlan Breeders and Primate Products), have been deploying all manner of tactics to try to stop the protests.
The bosses of FedEx have had meetings with the police about the protests, where they even tried to lie to them by saying they aren't dealing with any vivisection companies. However we have factual evidence to prove this, and the police were put back in the picture, and they sure didn't seem happy to know that FedEx have tried to lie to them!
Whilst one FedEx office has had all new CCTV cameras, alarm systems and other expensive equipment fitted, another FedEx office has been asking police to patrol the local area looking for activists and even paid for a private security firm to have their security guards patrol the site.
However we still managed to slip passed them all, we were faster and so then quickly acquired our usual position at the top of FedEx's building, where we shamed them for dealing with companies like HLS, Harlan and Primate Products and as another surprise we also unfurled a banner in multiple places at the top which read "FedEx Profit From Animal Torture".
Further into the protest the police turned up in a collection of vehicles again, and then imposed a Section 68 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order act on some of the activists, banning them from entering FedEx's site for 3 months. But protesters will see you again as usual, FedEx!
There is no justification for dealing with the vivisection industry, and as long as Axa, ICS and FedEx are dealing with companies like AstraZeneca, HLS, Harlan and Primate Products then all that will be made from it are stress and losses!

The New England Organ Bank is commemorating those who have received or continue to wait for lifesaving transplants as well as the families of individuals who chose to be donors, in April, national Donate Life Month.
In 2013 over 640 lives were saved here in New England because of the generosity of individuals who became organ donors. Thousands more lives were enhanced through the gift of tissue donation. With the need for life-saving transplants growing every day — over 120,000 patients are now on the US transplant wait list — it is crucial to educate our communities about taking action to register as donors.
There are now 120 million registered donors in the United States; still, the number of people in need of transplants continues to rise. The solution to this problem is to continue educating the public about the lifesaving effects of donation and transplantation and encouraging them to sign up through their state donor registry. The vast majority of individuals in MA (99 percent) register to be an organ and tissue donor at the state Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).
National Donate Life Month is an opportunity to continue education efforts, celebrate the lives saved and enhanced through donation and honor the donors who made the ultimate gift.
To register to be a donor or for more information visit www.DonateLifeNewEngland.org.

This was pretty good. I didn't have light cream so I just 1/8 cup of milk. The milk was starting to over power the sour cream so I just kept it at 1/8 of a cup. I had to add about 1/4 a teaspoon of salt. Also, after I combined all the ingredients a let the flavors meld together on the stove top for 10min on a really low setting. After that it tasted good.
I made this last night and it was great. I had company and they didn't leave anything in the bowl...all gone. I did leave out the bacon simply because we don't like it, but otherwise followed the recipes exactly. Thanks for the post.
Made these last night and they were great! I followed the recipe exactly and my only compliant is that they were a little runny... I prefer really thick, creamy potatoes so next time I will use a little less broth and cream. I also added a large handful of cheese just because we LOVE cheese! I will definately make these again!

THE BURNETTE BLOG: "Time to turn the corner"
Raiders hope to slow potent Trojan offenseNovember 24, 2012 · @MTAthletics
Yesterday I sat down to write the first edition of the Burnette Blog, or at least that's what it feels like. It's hard to believe that this 2012 season has flown by so quickly, but then again they always do. The Blue Raiders have had some hiccups along the way but have stayed the course and find themselves in control of their own destiny with two games left for a conference championship. The number of current wins almost guarantees a lock for a bowl game and the chance to keep playing into December.
With Troy coming to town today there will be no shortage of excitement for the players or fans. This rivalry is known as the Battle of the Palladium, and it is one that has slipped away from the Blue Raiders over the past few years. With the way the season has gone it feels time for Middle Tennessee to turn the corner on this rivalry and bring the trophy back to Murfreesboro. Troy will come out throwing the ball and play aggressively on defense, sometimes too aggressive which has had them in trouble recently with giving up big plays.
Offensively, the Blue Raiders need to provide plenty of cushion for the defense. With some of the starters out with injury, the offense will need to take control early and establish momentum to keep their offense off the field. Drives must end in points whether it is three or seven, preferably seven. Senior Anthony Amos looks to continue his stellar season with a fantastic finish on Senior Day in front of the home crowd in what will be his last time suiting up in Floyd Stadium. Freshman running back Jordan Parker has burst onto the scene this year and made an immediate impact in the backfield that the Blue Raiders have leaned on for support.
Quarterback Logan Kilgore remains cool and calm under pressure and has had little difficulty spreading the ball around to his receivers. Look for a big day from this unit.
Defensively, the front seven will have to play the best they have played all season. Due to a depleted secondary, the defensive line must put pressure on the quarterback and prevent him from getting the ball to his receivers. Troy's offense is one that will make a play every now and then and the defense must remain calm and remember the tenacity and relentless effort that has gotten them this far. The linebackers must be smart with their reads and their keys because Troy will give them a heavy dose of the pass before switching to the run occasionally. Know who your responsibility is on each play and it could be a big day for this group.
Rivalry games are what make college football special. On any given day a team can show up and outperform another and with the amount of enthusiasm and emotion involved in rivalries, this game looks to be as good as it gets. All across the country rivalry games will take place today, but there is only one Battle for the Palladium and only one team can bring home the trophy. Remember what got you here; remember how you have worked your way into a tie for first in the conference. It is that motivation and mindset the Blue Raiders must take the field with today. It's time for Middle Tennessee to turn the corner and sprint to the finish. Go Blue Raiders!

Candidates Get Primer on Labor Issues from Union Members
As in past orientations, candidates were given a primer on labor issues from local labor leaders and union members. The Labor Council's Executive Secretary-Treasurer, Shelley Kessler, explained the role of the labor council as a coalition of 110 unions representing 70,000 workers in the public and private sectors. She said that all issues that affect workers and the community are labor issues. "We are many unions; we are diverse. We are doing what we can to improve the lives of people in our communities," she said.
SMCLC president Eddie Raymond added that the Labor Council expects candidates and elected officials to be accessible, accountable, and be sensitive to the issues of union members. "Be available and listen to union members," he said. "Follow through on your commitments and be sensitive to the concerns of your workforce."
SMCLC Community Services Director Rayna Lehman talked about the Labor Council's work in providing assistance to union members with re-training, re-employment, and partnering with the United Way and Second Harvest Food Bank programs. "We care about affordable, quality childcare for workers, linking education with job opportunities and union apprenticeship programs, and helping the uninsured get access to affordable, quality health care," she said.
The Labor Council's Political Director Julie Lind explained the endorsement process through the Labor Council's Committee on Political Education and told the candidates that the Labor Council could assist endorsed candidates through phone banking and precinct walks. She encouraged the candidates to run effective campaigns and to participate in the Labor Council's get-out-the-vote efforts.
San Mateo County Supervisor Carole Groom thanked the candidates for running for office during tough times with severe budget constraints. She said she knew that candidates didn't run for office to cut budgets and services, that they wanted to help people in their communities. She advised the candidates to be honest and truthful and not to make promises they couldn't keep.
Groom said being endorsed by labor was about trust, and being accountable and responsible. "It's also a partnership," she said. "Hopefully it will be a long-term partnership for you working with organized labor protecting working families." She said if elected and asked to write letters of support for a union issue or get involved in efforts to save jobs, "Don't forget the folks who helped you get elected."
"It's important to listen to the whole story," she said. "Make sure we have the best county to live in; that's why you are here and why labor is here." She also urged the candidates to get involved in get out the vote activities, saying, "Precinct walking is fun."
Katie Gjertson, Senior Field Representative for the AFL-CIO, told the candidates about the negative impacts of privatizing and contracting out public services. She said privatization leads to a deterioration of services and loss of local control, and came with hidden costs.
"Recent extreme budget constraints have increased pressure on government to privatize since the recession began, but it is part of an on-going trend," she said."Anti-government activists have pushed privatization for years as a way to shrink government. The private sector sees privatization as an opportunity to cash in on taxpayer dollars. The recent economic meltdown and failure of major financial companies should have convinced people that the private sector is NOT always the most effective."
Gjertson pointed out that the private sector is driven by profit, and any money saved by cost-cutting measures, raising user fees and slashing services by a private company that takes over public sector work is not re-invested in services—it is paid out to shareholders, often in other cities or states. "Instead of lowering fees or putting money into improving roads, those cost savings go to the company's bottom line," she said.
She also noted that one of the hidden costs of privatization is that when private operators eliminate unions, slash wages and cut benefits, taxpayers end up subsidizing medical care and other safety net services for workers who once had union jobs.
"Privatization often means that the private operator lays off workers with decades of experience and brings in lower-paid workers," she said. "You lose all of that experience, customer service and a stable workforce. It undermines services and the quality of work done."
She urged the candidates and elected officials to look to other options before privatizing and said there are many examples of unions and management cooperating to save tax dollars and provide better services.
The candidates were given the opportunity to learn more about specific labor concerns through a series of break-out sessions focused on education, building trades, and the public and private sectors.

Special to SEGAZINE
Richmond County Coroner Grover Tuten was arrested Thursday in a joint state-federal investigation on a charge of stealing a car from a deceased man or his family.
District Attorney Ashley Wright said that an arrest warrant charges Tuten with the theft of a 2004 Nissan Altima about July 30. The vehicle belonged to a dead man or his heirs.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office has temporarily assumed authority of the coroner's office and personnel employed in it, according to a department statement, which says it was called to assist the FBI and district attorney's office in executing arrest warrants on "an elected government official."

The producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark have filed a countersuit against the show's co-creator and original director, Julie Taymor, accusing her of jeopardizing the $70 million musical by being indifferent to ticket sales. A 66-page file submitted to federal court in New York by producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris comes in response to a suit filed by Taymor insisting that the producers infringed on her copyright with "unauthorized and unlawful" use of her written works.
"Taymor refused to develop a musical that followed the original, family-friendly Spider-Man story, which was depicted in the Marvel comic books and the hugely successful motion picture trilogy based on them," says papers filed by Cohl and Harris. "Instead, Taymor, who admits that she was not a fan of the Spider-Man story prior to her involvement with the musical, insisted on developing a dark, disjointed and hallucinogenic musical involving suicide, sex and death." Taymor has yet to comment on the countersuit.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which was revamped and relaunched with greater involvement from songwriters Bono and the Edge, remains a hit on Broadway despite negative reviews.

House Republicans late Thursday released their proposal to repeal the 2010 healthcare law, arguing that it has increased healthcare costs, puts Americans at risk of losing coverage and is dragging down the economy.
The Repeal of Obamacare Act is a response to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the law, and argues that despite that ruling, solving the nation's healthcare problems must begin with repeal of the law.
"The path to patient-centered care and lower costs for all Americans must begin with a full repeal of the law," the Repeal of Obamacare Act reads. The bill was introduced by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.).
The bulk of the seven-page bill consists of a findings section that says the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has failed to live up to President Obama's promises for the law. For example, it finds that "tens of millions of Americans are at risk of losing their healthcare coverage," even though Obama promised people they could keep their coverage if they liked it.
It says the law has not lowered healthcare costs, and that average families paid $1,200 more in the year after passage.

Leaked 'lovemaking scenes' featuring Bollywood beauty Kangna Ranaut and John Abraham [Unlink] are making quite a stir all over the wire; these scenes are from 'Shootout at Wadala,' a 2013 Bollywood action crime drama.
It has been learned that while the kind of 'raw' and 'intense' scenes were being filmed; the entire set was ordered 'cleared' except for the 'unavoidable' crew; the rest were 'not allowed' to remain or enter the sets where the two were 'busy' in their 'racy' acts.
When asked, Sanjay Gupta described that these particular 'aesthetically detailed' love-making scenes happen to be the 'first-of-their-kind' while in a Bollywood movie. Kangna (31) and John (40), are playing the characters of Vidya Joshi and Manya Surve, respectively.
The cast also includes Anil Kapoor [Unlink], Tusshar Kapoor [Unlink], Jackie Sharoff, Manoj Bajpai [Unlink], Sonu Sood [Unlink] and others. The movie in question is written by Sanjay Gupta himself and the same is the second installment in the 'Shootout' franchise; the first part was titled 'Shootout at Lokhandwala,' a 2007 blockbuster.

A Tour of Oakley Headquarters: The Exterior
If you locked Willy Wonka, fiery General George S. Patton and architect Frank Lloyd Wright in a room filled with Red Bull, peyote buttons and a stack of Sharpies, they might emerge with a design looking something like Oakley Headquarters.
Mounted on a hilltop in Foothill Ranch, CA—about halfway between Southern California's premier surf spot and its most popular mountain resort—the building looks like something out of a Michael Bay blockbuster: part alien spaceship, part military bunker, part spike strip.
Like many of Oakley's spectacular designs, you have to see the building to believe it.
Driving Up
The first thing you notice is the tank. Not a water tank or a septic tank; an actual World War II era attack vehicle, complete with top-mounted cannon, chain drive, and "Oakley" emblazoned across the side. While it makes for a nice first impression to visitors, the Oakley tank isn't just a showpiece. Over the years, we've used it to destroy everything from a sailboat to a Buick, each to the cheers of on-looking Oakley employees.
The Helipad
Yeah, a helipad. With a big O in the middle. Sometimes helicopters land there. Sometimes it's just where we put the things we plan to run over with the tank.
If you continue up the hill a little further, you'll find a small traffic circle built around an actual torpedo, and beyond that stands the completely unmistakable, virtually indescribable entryway to the parallel universe that is Oakley headquarters.
The Front Door
Search Google for "Oakley Headquarters" and take a look at some of the images that come up. Most of them show the main entry to 1 Icon—a bulbous, metallic sculpture that stands as a constant reminder of Oakley's commitment to "deliver the unexpected." It definitely looks like something transforming into something else, but beyond that the definition is strictly subjective.
RC Track
A few dozen yards to the right of Oakley's main entrance sits an undulating mound of dirt lined with lengths of white plastic tubing. This is one of the newest additions to the 1 Icon campus—a track for radio-controlled cars. Given that one of Oakley's neighbors is a well-respected manufacturer of the hobby vehicles, its not uncommon to see a handful of employees on the track, some trying to avoid collisions with other cars, others seeking out small-scale carnage. This is Oakley, after all.
Pump Track
One of the most popular attractions at Oakley headquarters is behind the building. A favorite among Oakley athletes and employees alike, the dirt "pump track" features a series of corners, bumps and curves that allow adventure cyclists to gain so much momentum that they don't even have to pedal.
Tee Box
If you've been paying attention lately, you know that Oakley sponsors Rory McIlroy, winner of this year's U.S. Open. Ian Poulter, Ricky Barnes and more than a few other pros wear the O on the golf course, too. Befitting a company so closely tied to the PGA, Oakley built a modified driving range out back. Take it from us: nothing shakes off the afternoon doldrums quite like crushing a tee shot with everything you've got.
Check out the November issue of O News to see what craziness and unexpected magic lies behind the exterior walls of 1 Icon.

Former NFL athlete Shawne Merriman is issuing a warning to current and future athletes: protect your personal brand at all stages of your career.
SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) June 26, 2014
Former NFL athlete Shawne Merriman is issuing a warning to current and future athletes: protect your personal brand at all stages of your career. Merriman learned the hard way and is now taking on Nike in a case of unfair competition and trademark infringement of his LIGHTS OUT® brand, which has been synonymous with Merriman for almost a decade according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 14cv00872 (JAH) (NLS). The suit was filed by his company, Lights Out Holdings, LLC in California Federal Court and demands immediate injunctive relief to stop Nikes actions, and millions of dollars of damages including statutory damages of up to $2 million per content mark per type of goods or services sold, offered for sale or distribution . . . as noted in the complaint.
I am fortunate enough to have had the knowledge to protect my brand by going through the necessary steps to achieve a trademark registration; however I still have to fight my way to justice, said Merriman. I hope to use my case as an example and a platform to warn and educate current and up and coming athletes. This lawsuit is an important reminder that athletes need to protect themselves and not let companies take advantage of their hard work and their brand.
The LIGHTS OUT trademark registration covers a broad range of apparel, listing: clothing for men, women and children, mainly, bottoms, boxer shorts, caps, hats, headwear, nightwear, shirts, shorts, sleepwear, sweatshirts, tank tops, tops, t-shirts, underwear. Items from the brand have been sold at retail locations across the country as well as on the brands website Lightsoutbrand.com. for several years. Because Merrimans company has had rights in the LIGHTS OUT mark for so long, the trademark has been deemed incontestable by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
In late 2006 or 2007, according to the lawsuit, Nike entered into negotiations with Merriman for a LIGHTS OUT line of apparel. Negotiations between Merriman and Nike were unsuccessful but, according to the complaint, after these discussions Nike decided to use the LIGHTS OUT clothing brand anyway.
The suit, filed by attorney Andrew Skale of Mintz Levins San Diego office, demands a preliminary and permanent injunction for trademark infringement and related unfair business practices by Nike in addition to a damages amount to be determined at trial, disgorgement of Nikes profits and treble damages for willful infringement, as noted in the complaint.
About Shawne Merriman
Shawne Merriman was given the nickname "Lights Out" in high school for his hard-hitting style of play. He knew right away that Lights Out was more than just a nickname, and set out to parlay the success of the Light Out ® trademark into a globally recognized Luxury Lifestyle Brand that features affordable items for all.
Shawne had an amazing career in the NFL, playing with both the San Diego Chargers and the Buffalo Bills. Shawne is a three-time NFL Pro Bowler and NFL All Pro and was named the 2005 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Shawne is currently an analyst for The NFL Network and the WWE. He has taken a special interest in contributing to the Salvation Army, Standing Up For Kids and Feeding America while establishing the "Lights On Foundation" in an effort to help children and families in need.

Retiring editor blasts Rush, O'Reilly
Hypocrites of the highest order
I'm not sure it's accurate to equate the Rush O'Reilly acts with news.
not accurate, no, but most of their listeners think it is the best news coverage available.
if Rush and O'Reilly were in the print media, they'd be found in check-out lanes between Soap Opera Digest and Weekly World News.
I wonder if any of these liberals has the brains and/or guts to do more than call Rush/O'Reilly/Palin/Breibart/Malkin/Reynolds these juvenile names and make moronic jokes about them. You know, something really brave, gutsy and intellectual - like show how something they have said is not true. Or even inaccurate. How about a little exaggerated?
Can't do it, can they?
Yet at the same time, they're defending the JournoList - where hundreds of media reporters (can't really call them 'journalists') conspired to make stuff up to further the "Unofficial Obama Campaign".
The irony is thick indeed.
Liberals are a bunch of whiny 3 year olds. It's time to put the grown ups back in charge.
From your statement it seems you are sorely in need of the skills of decerning what is and what is not truth. I guess that you've have limited your scope of reading as to not see or read innumerable sources which shows these to be little more that propagandaist of the highest order. But I would want your narrow focus to change because I would not engage in a argumeent with an individual that would even make a statement so utterly insipid.
