It was founded in 1910 by H. Finkelstein, L. Langstein, M. v. Pfaundler, C. v. Pirquet, and B. Salge as the Zeitschrift für Kinderheilkunde.Since then, the Journal has been internationally recognized for making important developments in Pediatrics available to a broad public readership by applying a swift and fair reviewing system.Since 1997 the European Journal of Pediatrics has also been available in electronic form at http://www.springerlink.com.

I'm curious if any of y'all have Media Center Edition and what you think about it. I'm re-replacing a laptop and the one that I'm seeing that I like most has this system on it and I'm not familiar with it (though it's basically just a jazzed up XP Home from what I understand).
Let me know any positives or negatives please. (leave the anti-windows comments aside.....we all know they're the devil)

The 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time
'Come Away with Me'
Norah Jones
Blue Note, 2002
Maybe the most surprising blockbuster of the 21st century, at 10 million-plus copies sold and counting, this sultry set made easy-listening music actually worth listening to. The magic is mainly in Jones' sexy, silky tone and effortless phrasing – it's not surprising her previous efforts included diva turns on downtempo EDM jams. But the song selection, including Hank Williams' "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alongside gems from a new generation of craftsmen, was also first-rate, while the arrangements balanced smoky jazz and soft pop without turning to abstraction or schmaltz. The result splits the difference between a languid kiss and a juicy bong hit.

Leadership Lens
Christine James-Brown
When I worked in Philadelphia, I used to pass a hotel every day on my way to work. Over the employee entrance, a sign read: "Our most valuable assets pass through these doors every day." In the child welfare system it is certainly true that employees--particularly, caseworkers--are a very valuable asset. Our common sense tells us this is true, and research supports it. The Child and Family Service Reviews have demonstrated that the more time a caseworker spends with a child and family, the better the outcomes.
Despite caseworkers' role in helping our most vulnerable children and families, they are not fully appreciated. Kathleen Belanger's article (
"They Are All Our Children"
) illustrates the critical role that child welfare workers play in the lives of the families and children that they serve. Whenever I hear current or former foster youth talk about their experiences in the child welfare system, it is almost always a caseworker who made a lasting impact--good or bad--on their lives.
Caseworkers, especially those responsible for child protective services, frequently go into dangerous situations, where they are all too often viewed as the enemy. These brave, caring people are sometimes very young and almost always underpaid and undertrained, without enough resources to do their jobs as well as they would like. According to a 2005 survey, the average caseload size for a child protective worker was 26.3, more than twice the CWLA-recommended 12 active cases per month. The average minimum salary for a caseworker was approximately $32,000 in 2004; the median income for a family of four in the U.S. was approximately $75,000. In a situation where children need consistency in the relationship with their caseworker, dangerous work environments, large caseload sizes, low salaries, and other factors lead to high worker turnover rates. This ultimately results in insufficient services for children and families.
The article by Julie Collins (
Addressing Secondary Traumatic Stress"
) highlights the trauma that many caseworkers face when they are exposed to children and families in trauma. We have long recognized secondary traumatic stress as it relates to the medical profession and firefighters. It is time that this is recognized and addressed as it relates to child welfare workers.
An April 9, 2000,
Washington Post
article by April Witt focused on the crisis in child welfare hiring resulting from the then-thriving economy. In the article, Witt described the day-to-day danger and challenge of being a caseworker and said "the result is a national shortage of child abuse investigators, exacerbated by a boom economy, that has left public agencies throughout the region scrambling to hire and keep skilled child welfare workers." It seems that vulnerable children and families just can't catch a break. Rather than a boom economy, we are experiencing a crisis economy that is also likely to have a negative impact on having enough well-paid, well-trained, well-supported caseworkers.
As part of its advocacy agenda, CWLA clearly has the responsibility to enhance the public policy environment in support of positive outcomes for vulnerable children and families. But we also have a responsibility to improve the image of the child welfare system and to increase the level of respect and recognition for its most important asset--the child welfare worker. The community meetings held in connection with the planned White House Conference will provide an excellent opportunity to bring the nation's attention to the critical role the child welfare worker plays. During this time of economic hardship, it is important to remember that our child welfare workers are experiencing even greater challenges and stress. Many of them are dealing with their own personal financial pressure at the same time that their agencies and clients are experiencing the same thing. We have to do all that we can to support child welfare workers. It is the right thing to do--for their own well-being, and because their well-being is a critical factor in advancing improved outcomes for our most vulnerable children and families.

Nothing is too over-the-top for Stephen Colbert, who last night featured Paul McCartney on a special one-hour episode of The Colbert Report, which opened with a segment titled "Stephen Colbert's Tribute to Having Paul McCartney on His Show, Featuring Paul McCartney, With Special Guest Stephen Colbert."
And what a show it was. In addition to bits on the federal government's efforts to collect Americans' phone and e-mail records and New York City's inexplicably controversial bike-share initiative, Colbert featured an interview with McCartney, who also played six songs. "Tonight I am sporting some serious Norwegian wood," Colbert said at the start.
500 Greatest Albums of All Time: Paul McCartney and Wings, 'Band on the Run'
McCartney talked in the interview about starting over with Wings after the Beatles split in 1970, explained to Colbert why he recorded Band on the Run in Lagos, Nigeria ("for the climate and the disease," the singer joked), the Beatles' artistic evolution and instructed the host on the proper way to pronounce "schedule."
Then he performed "I've Just Seen a Face," followed after a break by "Hi, Hi, Hi" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite." Later, he performed "Listen to What the Man Said," then "Lady Madonna." He stuck around to record a web exclusive performance of "Birthday," which he dedicated to "anyone who has a birthday during the entire year."

I absolutely love this set. The colors are neutral enough so that I'm able to add an accent color whenever I want to change the tone in our guestroom. The quality of the entire set is just what I expected. Love the feel of the sheets too. The threadcount is high enough to provide softness and comfort. Would definitely recommend this set. b

The set comes with everything you see in the picture. I found that the comforter doesn't appear to have the crisp detail you see in the picture, but I like it just the same. It fits the bed perfectly and the pillow shams and pillows are a great compliment.

I was a little concerned about buying a bed set that I had not seen in person but I am totally happy that I went ahead and purchased this set. I absolutely love it. the colors are gorgeous with my leather platform bed. It is a good blend for my me and my husband, not to girly but not too manly. The curtains are a little on the thin side but they are not bad, so are the sheets but they fit a very deep mattress and are really soft. It is overall just a beautiful bed set and for the price it is a great buy.

My only issue with this set is that it shows a lot of color with the comforter, mine has mostly white with little bits of color. I didn't want white on half of the comforter. The quality is excellent though and I would recommend the set.

I love the bright colors. It just makes the guest room pop. It is bright fresh and airy. I love the fact that this set came with sheets. I have the queen size and I paid $99. What a bargain. Everyone that has stayed in the guest room says nothing but nice things about it. It brings several different colors together and I love the little decorator pillow. I will be adding European pillows to top the look off..Just beautiful.

This Bed in a Bag set looks lovely on my bed, it has an expensive look about it, even though it was not expensive. The comforter is so soft, but the sheets are not comfortable. I'll probably just use nicer sheets that I already have. This is why I only rated it 4 stars.

THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY. "Texas fight" runs in our blood, sports are huge. Mainly football and basketball. #1 in memorabilia sales in the country and second largest college stadium in the country.We have our own TV network for Christ's sake
Longhorn pride goes a long way with athletics here
The different sports teams may not be the best, but it's also about fan involvement and UT Athletics do an outstanding job at making everyone feel like part of the team. And that's what matters.
The school is drowning in the amount of school spirit it has! I love it.
The Atmosphere of UT revolves around football. It is one of the major things of campus. Almost all traditions have something to do with football or sports.

If you come to Texas apathetic about sports, you are 1) crazy, and 2) missing out on some great games, fine athletes, and fun times. Buy a sports package—it gives you the opportunity to draw for tickets for all of the major varsity sports games. Football at Texas is huge, even when it's are not ranked, though this has not been the case, especially since we won the National Championship in 2006. Basketball fans are almost as rowdy and, in 2003, both men's and women's basketball made it to the Final 4. Our baseball team doesn't gather as many fans as it should considering we won the College World Series in 2002 and regularly make it to Omaha for the final tournament. However, the boys at Disch-Falk do have their loyal following.
Especially under-appreciated are the swimming and diving teams, which are often Big 12 champs but never get the recognition they deserve, aside from a lighting of the Tower orange every year. Women's rowing has also grown a lot in the past few years, and their team generally does pretty well. They also do not get the credit that they deserve. Intramurals are very popular within the Greek community, dorm communities, and campus organizations. Texas also has many club teams that do very well, including men's rowing, men's volleyball, and watersking. If you have time, you should check out one of the club team tournaments in addition to all of varsity teams' games.

Easton's Game Gallery has reached a new level.
The vintage video game store -- which opened earlier this year on Northampton Street -- moved from one side of Centre Square to the other recently, setting up a new location at 315 Northampton St.
The move was prompted by the need for more room, both for merchandise and to host tournaments, said manager Matt Ellis.
"We were out of shelf space," he said. "And any fun events we wanted to do in the store, we couldn't."
For example, when the store wanted to hold a Street Fighter tournament over the summer, it needed to do so at Drinky's, the bar across the street.
The new location is much more open, with room for people to shop and to play games. There's also a bunch of empty space in the back, which Ellis hopes will one day hold arcade games.
But not just any arcade games. The idea is to install games that a lot of people will enjoy, such as dancing games like Dance Dance Revolution, or martial arts games that pit two players against each other.
"There's a big community for Dance, Dance Revolution," Ellis said. "Street Fighter, Tekken, huge communities."
And then there are the classics. He wants to get an Asteroids machine, as well as Ms. Pac-Man. He's clear about that: Ms. Pac-Man, which is more of a challenge than its predecessor.
"Pac-Man, you could memorize," Ellis said.
The store will hold a grand opening Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The day's events include a tournament of the game Super Smash Bros. starting at 4 p.m.

DRM Chair – Chair that self-destructs after 8 uses
Created by ECAL's past and present students, DRM Chair provides a limited number of use before it self-destructs. A small sensor detects when someone sits and decrements a counter. Every time someone stands up, the chair knocks a number of time to signal how many uses are left. When reaching zero, the self-destruct system is turned on and the structural joints of the chair are melted.
The number of use was set to 8, so everyone could sit down and enjoy a single time the chair. The cast-wax block is embedded with nichrome wire, the sensor made with Arduino counts the people and number 8 is reached the system is turned on.
The project is an entry for thedeconstruction.org and made in 48 hours by Gianfranco Baechtold, Laurent Beirnaert, Pierre Bouvier, Thibault Brevet, Raphaël Constantin, Lionel Dalmazzini, Edina Desboeufs, Arthur Desmet and Thomas Grogan

Doris Kearns Goodwin's classic life of Lyndon Johnson, who presided over the Great Society, the Vietnam War, and other defining moments the tumultuous 1960s, is a monument in political biography. From the moment the author, then a young woman from Harvard, first encountered President Johnson at a White House dance in the spring of 1967, she became fascinated by the man--his character, his enormous energy and drive, and his manner of wielding these gifts in an endless pursuit of power. As a member of his White House staff, she soon became his personal confidante, and in the years before his death he revealed himself to her as he did to no other.
Widely praised and enormously popular, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream is a work of biography like few others. With uncanny insight and a richly engrossing style, the author renders LBJ in all his vibrant, conflicted humanity.
Sign up to receive information about new books, author events, and special offers.
Doris Kearns Goodwin, the celebrated historian who is also the author of The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys and other bestsellers, has written a new foreword for this edition of Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She lives in Concord, Massachusetts, with her husband and their three sons.

Jun 6 - Sep 1 Maira Kalman: The Elements of Style Nashville, TN This exhibition features paintings on paper by Maira Kalman that were used to illustrate a 2007 re-publication of the authoritative American English writing style guide The Elements of Style by William Strunk and E.B. White. Kalman's illustrations whimsically embody the didactic examples of grammar rules and their breakage provided by this essential text for writers. Phrases like "But animals do not comprise ('embrace') a zoo—they constitute a zoo" and "None of us is perfect" inspired Kalman's visual witticisms. Her use of flattened space, strong colors and childlike figures provide an enjoyable lesson in both literary and visual literacy.

Earning the win on the mound for Post 17 was Bailey Mohr, who went six innings, while allowing just one run and striking out six.
"He pitched really good for us (Wednesday)" Fairmont's head coach Marty Morgan said. "He was ahead of most of his batters and he threw well."
In relief was James Bolander, who threw two innings and Matt Robbins threw the ninth.
On the offensive side, Fairmont was led by Fletcher DeVaul with three hits; Austin Bland, Johnny Kesling and Robbins, each had two hits; Chris Petrucci, Cutter Atha, Brandon Plivelich and Travis Smith each had one.

Dear Patchers,
It's with mixed emotions that I tell you this is my last week as editor of South Whitehall Patch and North Whitehall Patch.
It's hard to go.
After two years of covering the South Whitehall community -- and enjoying just about every minute of it -- I'm moving up to the position of Associate Regional Editor for the 12 Patch sites in the Lehigh Valley.
So I'm not saying goodbye, but 'so long' as I'll still be closely involved with all our local Patch sites, from Easton to Emmaus to South Whitehall. I just won't be in South Whitehall and North Whitehall every day anymore. I'm passing that baton to a new Editor, Jennifer Rodgers, who will officially be taking over South Whitehall Patch and North Whitehall Patch on Monday, Oct. 1. You will be in good hands. You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I will miss covering the stories that help shape the community and the people here -- the firefighters, police and ambulance workers who are the community's heroes, the business owners who sell everything from frozen yogurt to clothing to jewelry, the crime watch folks, the staff at Parkland Community Library, the students at the public and private schools who impress with their talents and enthusiasm.
Some of my favorite moments have been at community events like South Whitehall's annual tree lighting ceremony, but also at the Parkland school board and township meetings, where I met the young girl who wanted to raise chickens as pets and I learned about the latest development plans.
I've been with South Whitehall Patch since its launch in December 2010. North Whitehall is newly launched, in August, but I've met many of you at Senior Day and other locales.
South Whitehall Patch and North Whitehall Patch belong to you, the community. Use it to make your life ridicuously easy. Sign up for our newsletters, post announcements, events and photos, post a blog when you have something to say.
You will still be able to reach me at email@example.com.
Thanks again.
I'll be seeing you.
Mary Ellen

The UNLV project started in 2008 and is unique among RDSI projects in its highly aggressive goal for reduction in peak electricity demand. The 65% reduction goal at the feeder/substation level is more than four times higher than the minimum goal set by DOE for these projects. UNLV and its partners plan to design and build a new housing development of approximately 180 homes that are designed from the ground up for energy efficiency and incorporation of advanced energy technology. In the planned "Villa Trieste" community in Las Vegas, the homes will feature roof-integrated 1.76-2.43 kW photovoltaic (PV) systems, tankless water heaters, Energy Star appliances, low-E windows, advanced meters, advanced automated appliances and thermostat controls, and advanced in-home displays of energy use. Outside the home, the project will also incorporate demonstrations to overcome electricity grid integration, control, and communications issues. This includes advanced wireless mesh network technology, battery energy storage at the substation, and a research component on how customers interact with in-home energy technologies [1].
Project Location [2]: Las Vegas, Nevada and Villa Trieste Community
Duration [2]: 5 years
Cost [2]: $7 million federal/$13.9 million non-federal
Project partners are[2]:

Chinese Gardens, Sydney
5 Reviews
5 Reviews
Yes it is $6. But was so worth it. One of the nicest I've seen. On my last trip to Sydney I had wanted to see the Gardens but didn't. I was so glad Liz wanted to see them as well. The Gardens are really beautiful especially the waterfalls. It was a tranquil and serene experience on a beautiful day.
We were here on the 19th of October, 2007.
This is a beautiful, tranquil place right in the middle of a busy part of the city. It is right next to Darling Harbour, so if you want to get off the beaten path, without actually going anywhere, try the gardens. It's worth at least an hour or so to wander around - and even to bring a book and take a rest from your wanders in the city. The gardens were designed by gardeners from China, and the principals of the designs date back to the 5th century.
It's open from 9:30-5:30 every day.
When you visit the Gardens, there is also the opportunity to dress up like a Chinese doll and then you can stroll around and take pic's of yourself in the garden, or let the professional photographer take a pic of you. Sometimes we have to do silly things in order to have a good laugh few years later again and make light of this depressing world we live in.
Just minutes from downtown Sydney and the entertainment pulse of Darling Harbour, the Chinese Garden offers a rare opportunity, outside Asia, to experience century-old traditions of Chinese landscaping, architecture and garden design.
Chinese gardens differ from western-style gardens in that there are no planted flowerbeds or manicured lawns. Instead, wild aspects of nature are recreated in artfully designed landscapes that feature waterfalls, mountains, lakes and forests.
There is a tea house here and also a opportunity to costume hire the ancient Chinese cloths of a by-gone era.
You can slip into a traditional ornate silk gown based on designs from the Ming and Ching dynasties and be momentarily transformed into an emperor, a princess or a warrior. Costumes are available to fit adults and children.
The Chinese Gardens are simply stunning. When you go in you are given a map and it seems quite small but there is so much to see. I was all excited and didn't follow the map but I suggest you do as I found myself missing things and having to go back.
In the gardens are a large lake, statues, rock formations, a waterfall, bamboo and many small lizards running around.
There are many great photo opportunities and there is a small tea house just before the exit where you can sit and have something to eat and drink and just take in the great views.
Also in the garden you can hire traditional Chinese costumes and take photos throughout the grounds. I didn't so this as I was by myself but I saw a few people there that did and it looked like a lot of fun.

Through internship awards the MDB Program provides many opportunities for graduate students to explore diverse career options. All students who have successfully passed the PhD candidacy exam will be eligible for this award, although preference will be given to more senior students. Internships can be of any length (2 - 3 months is average) and can occur at any time of the year. Once approved by the MDB Program and mentor, support for travel, stipend, and other expenses will be provided on an as–needed basis. The immediate benefit to the student is the acquisition of new skill sets that will lead to more innovative research, and wider career prospects. Equally importantly, the student will establish new contacts that will hopefully lead to postdoctoral opportunities or future jobs in outstanding environments.
The internships can include, but are not restricted to:
We encourage students to explore the possibility of extended visits to laboratories where they may learn techniques that will benefit their research, or where they may want to pursue post-doctoral training.
Full-time, hands-on internships at biotech or pharmaceutical companies either in Cincinnati or elsewhere can be facilitated by the MDB Program through stipend support. A list of area biotech companies is available.
Support for students interested in teaching careers is provided in several ways.
Students interested in any of these opportunities should contact:

In my last post, I asked you to guess which flavor of licorice I'd be using in my licorice cupcakes. The answer is black licorice! Black licorice is a love it or hate it flavor and I saw some strong opinions about it in the contest comments. Even if you fall into the "hate it" category, I hope you'll consider giving these black licorice cupcakes a try. Flavors taste different in different formats. Some people enjoy bananas, but can't stand banana bread; others detest tomatoes and adore tomato sauce. Likewise, several anti-licorice tasters raved about my licorice cupcakes.
Before I developed the licorice cupcake recipe, I made homemade black licorice to see firsthand how to achieve the distinct flavor of black licorice. (I didn't post about the candy itself because I wasn't able to get the texture quite right. If I master it, I'll share it.) The black licorice recipe was made using dark corn syrup, molasses, and anise extract, so I used those same ingredients in my black licorice cupcakes. It worked! The cupcakes truly taste like a cupcake form of black licorice.
To get the black licorice cupcake recipe, head over to Paula Deen's website. I'm a regular guest contributor on her site and the black licorice cupcakes were my contribution for Halloween!
And the winner is…
The winner of the case of candy from Switzer's is Sam from Adventures of a Hopeless Foodie! Congrats, Sam!

Check that thumb drive at the door? Seriously?
Where is the line between security efforts that are symbolic, and those that have a real purpose?
Dear Control Engineering: I was reading the article about giving your plant a cyber health checkup. The authors say that we should keep an eye on plant visitors. Here's the quote: "That can include having rules that require visitors to leave USB drives with security guards prior to entering the facility, for example. A strict, comprehensive policy will help outsiders understand the seriousness of a plant's cyber security culture." I can understand the idea of not plugging in a laptop, but is the idea of checking thumb drives at the door really necessary, or merely symbolic?
Such a policy is not merely symbolic. Once an individual is in a facility and can reach computers that are on a network, it can be much easier to cause mischief than it is from the outside. Many systems assume, at least to some extent, that if you're in the building, you are probably friendly. There may also be certain parts of the network that cannot be reached from outside, but can be from an internal wired connection. If a cyber crook sees that an individual has walked away from his or her terminal that is logged into the network, it is an open invitation. That's like parking your car unlocked with the keys in it and the engine running.
A USB thumb-drive can be programmed with all sorts of scary things, and if it can be put into an open port on the network, it can cause no end of trouble. Just to make that point more clearly, I contacted cyber security instructor Matt Luallen to explain some of the things that are possible. He says:
"USB flash drives may serve more functions than you think. Combine Arduino with a Teensy++ hardware device and now you have USB hardware that can emulate typically trusted devices like a mouse, a keyboard, and furthermore, a storage device. Common operating system security precautions include disabling autorun functionality for external storage mediums, but the Teensy++ hardware can emulate a keyboard thereby bypass this common control. Next, if you are operating in an environment with Windows 7, it natively includes a tool called Powershell. Add a little Arduino and Powershell scripting and now there is access to the host with the credentials of the logged-in user. This script could create an outbound connection to a metasploit shell, an internal HMI modification, or an OPC or PLC login and modification with default credentials. The resulting opportunities are left up to the mind of the attacker as the typical cyber and physical security walls have been evaded, and the only security controls left are represented with the soft-gooey middle of the 'M&M model,' a hard outer shell and soft and gooey in the middle. For more information about this type of attack and others with their associated mitigating controls, check out CYBATI's two day workshop on Critical Infrastructure Control System Cybersecurity at cybati.org."
This is why physical and cyber security have to operate hand in hand. The shed out at the pumping station with the RTU should be kept locked, because if a determined hacker wants to break into the network, that's a prime path.
While symbolism in safety and security are important to keep people thinking the right way, don't simply assume that is the only element operating.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The cross, the place at which heaven and earth come together, is in danger of being lost by the very church to which it was entrusted. It's a long way from the pain and suffering of that day on Calvary when Jesus died for our sins to the church of today. In pristine sanctuaries, wearing fine clothes, thinking good thoughts, we are in danger of forgetting the danger and suffering that the cross sometimes calls us to carry.

Found November 21, 2012 on Fox Sports Florida:
PLAYERS: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, John Henson, Brandon Jennings, Tobias Harris, Samuel Dalembert, Monta Ellis, Larry Sanders, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, Alonzo Mourning, Scott Skiles
TEAMS: Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks
TEAMS: Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks
MIAMI (AP) -- LeBron James had 28 points and 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade added 28 more points and the Miami Heat scored the first six points of overtime on the way to beating the Milwaukee Bucks 113-106 on Wednesday night. Chris Bosh scored 24 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, his most in a Heat uniform. James also had eight assists and Ray Allen scored 17 points for the Heat, who moved to 5-0 at home. Allen's 3-pointer with 1:07 left sealed it for Miami, giving the Heat a 109-100 lead. John Henson came off the bench to finish with 17 points and 18 rebounds for Milwaukee. Brandon Jennings scored 19 on 9-for-25 shooting for the Bucks, who got 16 from Mike Dunleavy, 11 from Tobias Harris and 10 from Samuel Dalembert. Miami outscored Milwaukee 15-8 in overtime, meaning the last run -- on a night filled with back and forth -- belonged to the Heat, who survived despite wasting an early 18-point lead. In fact, it was Miami which had to rally just to extend the game late. Down seven late in the fourth quarter, the Heat reclaimed the lead with a 10-0 run. James played quarterback for much of the burst, hitting a 3-pointer, setting up Wade for a score that tied the game and eventually finding Allen in the right corner for another 3 and a 94-91 lead. Milwaukee took the lead twice more and Miami tied it quickly both times. The Bucks went for the win late, but Monta Ellis missed a jumper, Henson couldn't score on the rebound, and the Heat eventually controlled the ball and got a stoppage with 1.4 seconds left. They just didn't get a shot off -- Ellis knocked the ball from Wade's hands before he could fire off a chance at the win, and the teams went to overtime tied at 98. The Heat ran out to an early 37-19 lead, and the margin still seemed more than comfortable at 44-28 with 4:10 left in the half, when the Bucks seemed to be coming completely apart. Larry Sanders committed a personal foul, didn't like the call and let everyone know his feelings. Sanders slammed the ball toward the basket for one technical, started complaining, kept complaining, picked up the second technical and then appeared to even have a few choice words for his own bench as he departed for the Milwaukee locker room. For whatever reason, the game changed in that instant. Milwaukee scored the next 13 points and closed the half on a 16-2 run -- the last three of those points coming in the most unexpected way, with Dalembert connecting from about 27 feet. Dalembert had missed all 10 of his previous 3-point tries in his career. The Bucks finished the third quarter with another flurry, a 13-5 run, the last basket being a gift after Mike Miller tried to grab a defensive rebound and inadvertently deflected the ball through the rim as time expired with Milwaukee taking a 73-71 lead into the fourth. NOTES: Heat F Udonis Haslem became the franchise career leader in rebounds, grabbing the 4,808th of his career, one more than Alonzo Mourning, late in the first quarter. ... Jennings and Ellis combined to miss their first 10 shots. Jennings scored with 3:28 left in the half, the first points of the Bucks' 13-0 run. ... With Thanksgiving on Thursday, Wade and James revealed some of their must-have side dishes. James said he's "not participating" in Thanksgiving if he doesn't have candied yams and macaroni and cheese on his plate; Wade said he needs "some good stuffing to set me right." ... Bucks coach Scott Skiles said he expects F Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (offseason knee surgery) at practice "within the next week or so." ... The game was the first in a stretch where Miami has 10 of 11 contests at home.

Soz it's been awhile since the last version was out. Life got in my way but the next version of Powerbattles has finally arrived. If you want to skip the intro and just get to the downloading scroll to the bottom of the post.
Now to the good stuff...
What's new in this release?
In the classes department we have 6 new contenders, 3 on rebs and 3 on imps.
New Rebs
First up we have The Blademaster. He's a jedi who decided he could one-up the duelist. He does this by wielding not just a staff saber, but dual staff sabers. He also has a few stat bonuses to aid him. Next, the Hamma Slamma. Yes, it's Admiral Ackbar with a giant hammer. Some of you may have played with the dark wave hammer in your JA+ days. This is the dark wave hammer, with a few enhancements :p. I had much fun smashing up NPC lukes with him. And last but not least in the newcomer reb lineup, it's Pikachu. He shoots lightning, has speed, and is smaller than Mario. He also has confuse ray and cute sounds. Now on to imps...
New Imps
First in the imp lineup, although not pictured, is the Concussold. What is the Concussold and why is he not pictured? He's not pictured because he's just a regular stormie model. But what he does is awesome. He has 1\1 HP\SP like the flea, is superrrrr fast(faster than the chuck norris class) and he carries only concussion grenades. He also has 10 lives, instead of the usual 2. He is guaranteed to cause mega lulz. Next up is Stormdemon, Destroyer of Worlds. He's a giant(same size as the fat man) black stormtrooper that glows eerily red(if you have dynamic glow on :P). While not the fastest runner in the world, he posses a deadly claw and spike for hands, and has destruction, grip, drain, mindtrick, 200 force, shoots flames and has various other abilities which you will discover to your dismay if you aren't playing him :p. A fun class indeed. Last in the expose is Home Run Harriet. She sports a Louisville Slugger baseball bat for a weapon. "But it's just a saber" you say. No it's not. It swings 2x faster than a light saber. When you hit someone with it they go flying into the wild blue yonder, just like a home run. I had fun smacking NPCs with that one too.
Well those are all the new classes. We also have new maps: Jedi Temple Duel, Tantive IV, Star Destroyer, Coruscant Chase, House of the Fallen, & UL's Powerbattle Map which was made just for this :p (Thanks UL) For the rest of the changes, you can look in the readme. Now, submit your bandwidth.

The Tribune-Star
Some downtown Terre Haute stakeholders brainstormed and dreamed big as they talked about possibilities to "re-connect" the downtown with the Wabash River.
On Tuesday, the Downtown Terre Haute Design Committee met with representatives of Art Spaces and a planning firm, J3 Concepts as part of an initiative called "Turn to the River."
After gathering much feedback from stakeholders and the community, J3 Concepts will develop a comprehensive plan that looks at ways in which public art and design can play a role in reconnecting the downtown and the river.
The project will involve a public survey and public meeting, and a final plan will be completed by summer 2014, said Jennifer Hale, of J3 Concepts.
A draft plan also will be presented to the Terre Haute City Council, possibly early next year.
On Tuesday, the planners wanted to hear from members of the DTH Design Committee.
Those attending threw out such ideas as riverfront dining, shops, a marketplace, fountain/sculpture and interpretive area. Other ideas included a splash park and skating rink.
The area under study includes the City Hall/governmental plaza, Fairbanks Park and surrounding areas. The general area includes Third Street to the east, the Wabash River to the west and an area between Cherry and Poplar streets.
Those are not strict boundaries; instead, they are intended to help guide discussion, Hale said.
Wieke Benjamin talked about creating an "educational experience" that includes the history of the city; it would be a place where families could take their children. She also mentioned creation of a performing arts area, which could appeal to different age groups.
Public-private partnerships will be the key to success of any plan, she said.
Benjamin also believes it will be important to find a safe way for people to get across Third Street to go from downtown to the riverfront; one possibility is a pedestrian bridge over the highway. "Third Street is so dangerous," she said. Semis "keep thundering through red lights."
Janice Board emphasized the importance of establishing standards up front that would outline what kind of development could occur.
Board also asked about ways to encourage more boat traffic along the Wabash River and how that could be accomplished.
Todd Nation suggested having a boat docked on the river that could serve as a restaurant.
He discussed the need for improved pedestrian access for those who want to cross the river to go to the Wabashiki wetlands area.
Ben Orman praised the efforts of Art Spaces and J3 Concepts for the groundwork they are doing. As they go forward with the process, "We will be your cheerleaders," he said.
The planning project is being funded through a $25,000 "Our Town" grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Art Spaces must provide a $25,000 match, and part of that funding is coming from the city.
Nine people attended the two-hour brainstorming session Tuesday.
"I'm really excited about the level of engagement," said Mary Kramer, Art Spaces executive director. The planning process ties in well with 2013 Year of the River.
"People are very excited about what's happening," she said. As planners meet with stakeholders for Turn to the River, "The ideas keep expanding." It's the job of the planners to "rein them in" as they prepare an actual plan, she said.
Kramer also noted, "We are in conversation with Riverscape. This is not a plan to take over other plans. This is trying to figure out how design and public art really can play a role here," she said.
Several meetings have taken place with small groups of stakeholders, and more are planned.
Any stakeholder group that would like to meet with J3 Concepts can contact them at 812-645-4610 or firstname.lastname@example.com, said Jason Saavedra, a J3 partner/principal.
Sue Loughlin can be reached at (812) 231-4235 or email@example.com.

The 55th Sanibel Symposium will be held on February 15th to 20th, 2015
More detials regarding the 55th Sanibel Symposium coming soon!
54th SANIBEL SYMPOSIUM
The Sanibel Symposium has a long tradition of bringing condensed-matter physicists and quantum chemists together productively. It also has played a significant role in preparing a whole generation of theorists. The 54th Sanibel meeting will include two special symposia in this tradition.
The first special event is the "360 degree view". It will recognize the contributions of Rodney Bartlett (70), Bill Butler (70), Yngve Ohrn (80), Fritz Schaefer (70), and Malcolm Stocks (70). Their work has greatly impacted several generations of researchers. The "360" is the sum of their ages. More importantly, it denotes a panoramic outlook on critical developments and needed advances in theoretical and computational chemistry and materials physics. Thus, two of the seven "360" plenary sessions will focus specifically on younger scientists.
The second special event is a 4-session sub-symposium on Ab Initio Simulation at Extreme Conditions. The emphasis will be on methods beyond standard DFT-driven Born-Oppeneimer molecular dynamics, systems in the warm dense matter regime, and related issues of extreme material and chemical conditions.
In addition to the 360 degree view and the Extreme Simulation segments, other plenary sessions will present advances in electronic structure, excitation spectra, nonadiabatic dynamics, disorder and defects, electron transport, and first-principles simulation and accomplishments in theoretical and computational chemistry and physics.
The meeting will be held Feb. 16- Feb 21, 2014, at the historic King and Prince Hotel on St. Simons' Island, GA. There will be seventeen plenary and six poster sessions. Also, there will be several social events for the attendees and accompanying persons. Please make housing arrangements promptly, as we expect a large attendance. Also note that there are several daily flights from Atlanta to Brunswick, GA, which is within a fifteen minute cab ride of the King and Prince Hotel. Alternatively, one can fly to Jacksonville, about an hour away, and arrange the shuttle (see webpage), or rent a car.
You may register online. The early registration and abstract deadline is December 31, 2013.
All attendees are encouraged to submit papers to the Sanibel Proceedings, publshed by Molecular Physics. All papers will be peer reviewed. The deadline for submitted papers is April 30, 2014. All should be submitted to Mol.Phys. and designated for the Sanibel Proceedngs.
The 2014 Sanibel Symposium will be the 54th version of the longest running, privately organized meeting in the field of the quantum theoretical treatment of electronic structure, spectra, dynamics, and transport.
We look forward to seeing you there!
The Organizers.
