2013-07-10 19:30 - Disinterred British extreme metal legends CARCASS have revealed the cover art for their upcoming sixth full-length release »Surgical Steel«. "We went back to working with Ian Tilton, who is an iconic English photographer famous for working with THE STONE ROSES," stated front man Jeff Walker. "He actually did the front cover for »Necroticism...« as well. We've deliberately tried to evoke the feeling of that album and »Heartwork«." The eagerly-anticipated album will be released on September 13 (Europe), September 16 (UK), and September 17 (North America).
»Surgical Steel«, the band's first studio release since their 1996 LP »Swansong«, was produced by Colin Richardson (NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER, GOREFEST, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SINISTER, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT). Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in the band's current incarnation are new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and guitarist Ben Ash (PIG IRON, DESOLATION, LIQUEFIED SKELETON). Expect some guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen as well, when »Surgical Steel« is finally released this Fall world-wide.
CARCASS has released several classic albums over the years, including Decibel Magazine "Hall of Fame" inductees »Heartwork« and »Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious«, and their influence has changed the face of extreme metal with every consecutive release. Whether it was inventing gore-grind (i.e. »Reek of Putrefaction«, »Symphonies of Sickness«) or creating the template for melodic death metal (i.e. »Heartwork«), CARCASS has always made records by which bars were set and rules were broken. Upon the band's dismantling in 1996, fans mourned the loss of the seminal act and longed that the group would return again one day. In 2007, the metal world got its wish as CARCASS reformed to play several sold-out reunion shows around the globe. Once again re-motivated to administer a shot of cynicism and infectious riffs into the arm of a sickly metal scene, founding members Bill Steer and Jeff Walker began writing what would become the latest output of their highly influential career, »Surgical Steel«. Only the choicest of cuts were made, and blood sweat and tears were shed to bring us a record worthy of the CARCASS legacy. In short, »Surgical Steel« is just what the doctor ordered.

Janet Black's Story
It Takes a Community: Palmetto Health Outreach Helps Women Feel Better
Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure-these are major health problems for women and too often, these are the ones women overlook.
Palmetto Health Community Health helps people get healthier through screenings, information sessions, and friendly support. Programs range from large-scale annual events, such as Women at Heart, to small support groups that meet more frequently. There are Palmetto Health programs to help you manage chronic problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, quit smoking, or get you moving.
Tiffany Sullivan, Palmetto Health's director of COPA programs, says, "Palmetto Health is a leader in our community in cutting edge technology, patient safety and quality patient care, so it makes sense for us to be leaders in offering free community events to help our patients make healthy lifestyle choices."
Every year, thousands of people take advantage of Palmetto Health's community services. Some, like Janet Black, have come to think of Palmetto Health as a constant partner as they work to stay healthy.
When a diagnosis changes your life
When your doctor tells you that you have diabetes, it's a diagnosis that can change everything about your life. You have to learn how to monitor your blood sugar and manage your medications. You have to prick your finger, buy expensive supplies and rethink the way you eat. "You can't enjoy your favorite foods," Janet Black says.
Black found out she had diabetes five years ago. Palmetto Health's community programs have helped her in two important ways-by providing critical information about diabetes and by providing support and motivation.
One of Black's first steps was to enroll in a Palmetto Health lunch and learn series. Over the course of six sessions, nurses and dietitians helped her understand her disease, the treatment, and how she could eat and exercise to better manage her blood sugar.
Two years ago, Black attended Palmetto Health's Women at Heart exhibition. The event renewed her determination to lose weight and exercise. Like many other South Carolina women, Black has a family history, not just of diabetes, but of high blood pressure and heart disease, too.
Sullivan explains, "Women who eat a healthy diet and incorporate daily exercise into their routine have a much lower risk for chronic conditions like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Helping women learn to do this is the purpose of our Women at Heart event."
Controlling weight is at the heart of it
Black acknowledges that inactivity and a fondness for snacking had caused her to put on more weight than she'd like. After attending Women at Heart, Black started walking with a group of women from work. She lost 20 pounds-and was thrilled. But despite that accomplishment, keeping her weight under control remains a struggle.
"I lost 20 pounds. I gained 10 of them back. I'm determined to lose those 10 pounds, because that's when I felt good," she says. Black is getting herself on track by using techniques she learned through Women at Heart. "For example, I bring my lunch to work. That way, I'm not tempted to go out and eat French fries. French fries are my downfall," she says.
"Sixty-five percent of all South Carolina adults are overweight or obese," says Sullivan. "Palmetto Health offers community programs to encourage people to walk their way to better health, incorporate more physical activity and make healthy nutrition choices. When people are active and make healthy choices their health status improves."
Losing weight holds another promise for Black, the chance to stop giving herself insulin injections. "I'm tired of giving the pharmacy my money," she says. The cost of medical supplies combined with the use of needles for testing and insulin leave Black feeling stressed and depressed.
Stress, depression-and staying motivated
The stress of an ongoing condition is different from stress you experience with an acute illness that has a more distinct beginning-and end. People with chronic conditions not only face lifelong changes to diet and most likely, daily medications, but they also have to find ways to pay for the ongoing medical care. Sullivan says another reason Palmetto Health's community screenings are so valuable-not only do they help you monitor your health can make adjustments, but many of the community programs are low-cost or free.
Black says Palmetto Health's community programs also put her in touch with people who understand her problems and know how to help. "My family knows I have diabetes. They're quick to tell me stop being bitter and depressed. But having diabetes does make you depressed," she says. "You tend not to want to eat healthy when you get down. You get stressed out over little things. You notice tingling in your feet and you worry. Some days you don't want to stick yourself. You get tired of doing it."
It makes a huge difference, Black says, to stay on top of new information. "They have learned so much about diabetes in the five years since I was diagnosed. I'm thankful for the new information." She also uses Palmetto Health as a resource whenever a question crops up: "It's great to know that if I have something I need to ask, I can call."

The ACC Championship game pairing won't be decided until after this weekend's Virginia Tech-Virginia match up as the Coastal Division title will come down to the final game of the season.
The Hokies enter Saturday's match up with a one game lead over the Cavaliers but a loss would give Virginia its first ever trip to the conference championship game. The clash is between two of the hottest teams in the conference with Virginia Tech having won six straight games and Virginia riding a four game winning streak. Georgia Tech wrapped up its conference season on Saturday with a victory over Duke and finish with a 5-3 mark.
Clemson has already wrapped up the Atlantic division title despite losing to N.C. State on Saturday. The Tigers well step out of conference this week to take on South Carolina. Wake Forest finishes second in the division at 5-3 after earning the tie breaker with Florida State.

The World Bank, headed by its president Mr. James D. Wolfensohn, is a multilateral development
institution whose purpose is to assist its developing member countries further their economic and
social progress so that their people may live better and fuller lives. The term "World Bank" refers to
two legally and financially distinct entities: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Develop-
ment (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). The IBRD and IDA have three
related functions: to lend funds, to provide economic advice and technical assistance, and to serve as
a catalyst to investment by others. Working with its borrowers, the Bank places poverty reduction at
the center of its country assistance strategies.
The Vice Presidency for finance and Private Sector Development, led by Mr. Jean-Fran,cois
Rischard, was created in January 1993 to centralize the Bank's efforts to develop more vibrant and
competitive private sectors in client countries. Most of the time of its approximately 200 specialized
staff is spent helping the Bank's regional staff across all six regions to improve the quality and
effectiveness of Bank assistance for private sector development, frequently through innovative lend-
ing and technical assistance operations. The remainder of their time is spent identifying and dissemi-
nating best practices in various areas, through training programs given in and outside the Bank,
seminars and conferences, and multiple contracts with external partners of the Bank.
* * *
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distin-
guished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of
science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter
granted to it by the Congress and signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the Academy has a mandate
that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M.
Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National
Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its
administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences
the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also
sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Harold Liebowitz is president of the
National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure
the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters
pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National
Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and,
upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I.
Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to
associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering
knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies
determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to
the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is adminis-
tered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Harold
Liebowitz are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.
The Office of International Affairs (OIA) is concerned with the development of international and
national policies to promote more effective application of science and technology to economic and
social problems facing both industrialized and developing countries. OIA participates in interna-
tional cooperative activities, engages in joint studies and projects with counterpart organizations,
manages scientific exchange programs, and represents the Academy complex at many national and
international meetings directed toward facilitating international cooperation in science and engineer-

The last decades of the twentieth century have been characterized not only
by a rapid pace of technological innovation, but also by the equally rapid integra-
tion of new technologies into society. The computer entered people's lives as a
personal tool and transformed commerce and industry, from supermarkets to
Wall Street. Other technologies propelled the telecommunications industries, pro-
viding the willing consumer with cable TV, mobile phones, and Internet.
These innovations are visible in any city of the industrialized world, and to a
large extent in the newly industrialized states as well. But their deeper portent for
the future is much less obvious, and their ultimate impact on the two-thirds of the
world's population living in developing countries is the most difficult to assess.
Yet for those responsible for the well-being of those countries-government
leaders, businessmen and women, scientists and engineers and for the develop-
ment agencies, including the World Bank, that assist them, this question cannot
be addressed too soon. If in fact the wave of technology innovation amounts to a
second industrial revolution, as some predict, the developing countries must be
prepared to join it or risk being left behind.
It is for this reason that the World Bank and the National Research Council
proposed to combine their efforts to assess the impact of technological innovation
on the developing countries. The collaboration that culminated in the Symposium
on Marshaling Technology for Development was motivated by the sense that
there are important challenges and opportunities for developing countries in re-
cent technological advances, and that both development organizations and scien-
tific institutions have a special responsibility to work together to assist these
OCR for page R1
countries in adapting to and profiting from these advances. The focus of this
symposium was strictly on some of the new advances and the emerging technolo-
gies. Proven and well-understood technologies such as drainage systems, water
recycling, and efficient stoves, whose value is undeniable, were not discussed;
the same was true of nuclear power, which may be an important option for some
countries but presently is not characterized as an innovative technology. Readers
should be aware that this strict focus on the newer, advanced, and perhaps untried
technologies is not meant to disparage older technologies by omission. On the
other hand, whenever the observation is made that needed technologies are not
available, it is based on an assessment of all the technologies, newer and older,
available to the user.
The World Bank and the National Research Council have unqualified exper-
tise on complementary aspects of the problem of applying technology to develop-
ment. The Bank, as the world's premier development organization, has acted as
lender to governments since the Bretton Woods agreement of 1945. The National
Research Council (NRC), the operating arm of the National Academy of Sci-
ences and National Academy of Engineering, is a nongovernmental scientific and
technological organization whose primary function is to advise the U.S. govern-
ment on issues related to science and technology.
Surprisingly, over the years the two organizations have interacted relatively
little. In the early 1980s, they collaborated on a project to reform the Chinese
universities in the fields of economics and engineering. A decade later, they
joined forces in a project to assist the government of Indonesia to develop its
capability to utilize technology in industry. In between, there has been only a
handful of collaborative projects, most of them NRC studies that received partial
funding from the Bank.
Separately, however, the two institutions have contributed much to the theory
and practice of science and technology for development. For example, the World
Bank has supported technology development through its lending operations,
policy advice, and research, as well as through specific initiatives such as its
support of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research
(CGIAR) and its international network of research centers. The Bank's annual
World Development Reports and monographs are well known for their reliable
diagnostics of development problems and their influence on government policies.
The National Research Council has produced many studies relevant to interna-
tional development, including, within the last two years, Realizing the Informa-
tion Future, In Situ Bioremediation: When Does it Work? Vetiver Grass: a Thin
Green Line against Erosion, Foundations of World Class Manufacturing, and
Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment in the Humid Tropics. Other NRC
activities have directly supported research projects in developing countries and
have convened technical workshops for U.S. and developing country scientists
1 .
and engineers.

This collaboration was directed by a steering group, led by Jean-Fran~cois
Rischard, vice president for finance and private sector development of the World
Bank, and Gerald P. Dinneen, foreign secretary of the National Academy of
Engineering. The Symposium on Marshaling Technology for Development, con-
vened November 28-30, 1994, at the National Academy of Sciences's Arnold and
Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, California, was designed to identify areas for
action by the Bank and the National Research Council and to cement working
relations among the technical staffs of the two organizations. It also served to
initiate the formation of a network of scientific organizations on which the Bank
may call for technical advice.
The symposium was formally opened by Bruce Alberts, president of the
National Academy of Sciences, and Mr. Rischard, who introduced their organiza-
tions and briefly presented their personal views of science, technology, and inter-
national development. Keynote presentations were then made by George
Bugliarello, chancellor of Polytechnic University, on the global generation, trans-
mission, and diffusion of knowledge, and Harvey Brooks of Harvard University
on technology transfer. These presentations were followed by three discussions
of key generic technologies: biotechnology, led by Rita Colwell (University of
Maryland Biotechnology Institute); materials, led by Praveen Chaudhari (IBM
Corp.~; and information technology, led by John S. Mayo (AT&T Bell Laborato-
ries). A panel discussion chaired by Gerald Dinneen allowed these speakers to
consider the broader, interdisciplinary questions proposed by the other partici-
The remainder of the symposium was devoted to sectoral sessions, each
introduced by a primary speaker representing the National Research Council and
followed by discussants from the World Bank and a developing country. The
sectoral topics, selected by the World Bank, were areas of high technological
content. The symposium did not pretend to cover topics not included in the
sectoral sessions, nor to explore exhaustively the full range of views.
The primary speakers were Richard R. Harwood (Michigan State Univer-
sity), agriculture; Sidney F. Heath III (AT&T Corp.), manufacturing; Richard E.
Balzhiser (Electric Power Research Institute), energy; Alan M. Lesgold (Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh), education and training; Jordan J. Baruch (Jordan J. Baruch
Associates), services; Kenneth I. Shine, M.D. (Institute of Medicine), health; and
Robert M. White (National Academy of Engineering), environment.
Discussants from the World Bank were Carlos Braga, Alexander McCalla,
Mohan Munasinghe, Julian Schweitzer, Richard Stem, Peter Urban, and Jacques
Van Der Gaag. Representing other institutions were Reynoldo dela Cruz, Na-
tional Institute of Biotechnology, University of the Philippines; Agustin del Rio,
Vitro Corporativo, Mexico; Demissie Habte, International Centre for Diarrheal
Disease Research, Bangladesh; Lee Hoevel, AT&T Global Information Solu

Emilevich Shpilrain, Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sci-
ences; N. Vaghul, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Limited;
and James B. Wyngaarden, National Academy of Sciences.
Each sectoral session of the plenary was followed by a break-out session that
included the primary speakers and discussants and other specialists from the
World Bank and NRC. These sessions identified the important themes and for-
mulated recommendations. Rapporteurs for the break-out sessions were Dennis
Anderson, James Bond, Melvin Goldman, Kristin Hallberg, Lauritz Holm-
Nielsen, Dean Jamison, and Christian Pieri from the World Bank; and Caroline
Clarke, Donna Gerardi, Christopher Howson, Dev Mani, Susan Offutt, Procter
Reid, and Paul Uhlir from the National Research Council.
This report on the findings of the symposium was drafted by Michael Greene
of the National Research Council's Office of International Affairs and Kristin
Hallberg of the Private Sector Development Department of the World Bank. It
summarizes the ideas presented by the keynote speakers, the primary speakers,
and the discussants, and incorporates the additions and recommendations formu-
lated in the break-out sessions. The keynote and primary sectoral presentations
appear in the third part of this report, Invited Papers.
For the World Bank, Carl Dahlman and Elkyn Chaparro played key roles in
the organization of the symposium. Their counterparts at the National Research
Council were Michael Greene and Wendy White. Connie Reges managed the
meeting logistics, assisted by Cindy Butler. The papers and proceedings were
edited by Sabra Bissette Ledent, and Wendy White supervised the production

Atlanta >
Bars & Clubs > MasqueradeTue - Sat, 10pm - 2am
Neighborhoods: U-Rescue Villa, Northeast, Northeast
FYI, the Masquerade is a non-smoking venue. However, you can smoke (and keep your drinks) just outside the main entrance where there is enough room for a decent size crowd of smokers.
A Pleasant Surprise – I came in for a show, expecting the worst based on the firetrap appearance of the place from North Ave., but it's really a decent place to see a show. The main stage is large, and the acoustics are pretty good considering the hard surface surroundings. And the stone wall and old wood floors give the place a good feel.
Not too many acts I like play there, but I will definitely return if a band I like plays there. The beer prices were decent, and overall it's a decent place for a live show.
painful experience – Went to Buckethead show 9/17/11. 41/2 hours of standing to watch a total of 2 hours of performance. If that is your idea of a good time...have at it. The management doesn't announce anything so you haven't a clue why no one is performing. You just stand there like cattle in a box car. We were in the Heaven part of the club...the upstairs. Smoky, hot, super loud...what a ball. Buckethead is amazing but we have no idea why we had to stand in one place for so long and because management took our money and apparently are too anti-establishment to be so uncool as to let the crowd know what's up... I blame them. Will not return.
great place to chill :-) – I like the music selection and your choices.. Masquerade is where my friends and I usually hang out and we just love it every minute we are there :-) I also like the bar and the selection of drinks , they have the best selections in town ..
Night at the Masquerade not at all worth $20. – The people (of both genders) you will meet there are rude, over 30, morbidly obese, or all the above. If want to have fun and meet interesting people get out and about. Don't be like the pale losers who never see the light of day and pay to dance at this dump thinking that its the place with the best chance to score with chicks! Why? Cause the fat chicks just go out in packs with there friends to boost there self-esteem. Don't tell me you think they would actually want to dance with you or find a boyfriend.
Amazing! – The masquearde is about 30 minutes from duluth. They have the latest bands playing there! They play a large assortment of songs and you even get to say hi, get autographs, pictures, and they have tshirts, and cds, and posters for sale there for you to buy. They do have a bar, I don't know about the prices though. If you arrive early you get to stand in the front, right up close with the bands.However, if you just want to enjoy the show for that particular band. That band won't start playing till probably about 2 hours before the scheduled show. They do have introduction bands to play before though. Bring a extra couple bucks for your tickets, sometimes the price is a little different. If the band is really popular i suggest you do 'will call' and get your tickets ahead of time, because the 'buying at the door' line is long, but it moves pretty fast. As far as I know they don't charge tax on band merchandise (tshirts, posters, cds, etc) and/or the tickets. I have no clue about the drinks. They do allow smoking inside, it's only a couple people though, but doors are always open. The band I wanted to see was starting at 7 and we didn't leave till 11. I highly suggest you having a full tank of gas because it's kind of creepy on that side of town at night. Don't be surprised if you have folks coming up asking you for money, or a ride. The masquerade is kind of a hole in the wall but it's amazing inside! It's open to all ages, but if you want to let your kid/pre-teen go, I suggest you be there or sitting in the car if you don't wanna watch. To sum it up, The Masquerade is a really good spot for music. If you find a show that you like I HIGHLY think you should go.
Great place to let your teens go to a concert – I am the Mom of a 15 year old girl who was dying to go to a concert at this venue. What a great experience for her and me-There was a huge presence of very large bouncers, who could not have been nicer to me and the other parent, but they definitely could control the crowd. I was also impressed at the number of other moms and dads who were there doing the dame thing. I didn't eat anything there, but the food looked good, and, when we had had enough of the loud music, we could go downstairs to Pergatory, where it was cool, quiet, and there were comfortable seats to sit in. I would not have any hesitation going back-In fact, my daughter is going back this week for Panic at the Disco, and I almost wish I was going with her!!!! I don't, however, want to make it sound like Chucky Cheese-There were plenty of young adults there enjoying the concert without parents. This is not a family place. I personally didn't want my daughter to go without a parent, but I felt very comfortable having her there in the crowd without me watching over her, and I would let her go without a parent the next time as long as I knew that someone would be there to pick her up at the end. My point is that, generally it is a great place to see a concert-sort of hot, definitely crowded, but generally very exciting!!!!
My favorite place in Atlanta to see a show. – I'll admit, the first time I went to a show here I didn't like this place so much. I thought it was dark, crowded, smokey, and man it was hot in there. But I soon learned to love this venue. It's very easy to get to. Parking is usually not a problem. The buidling is old and sometimes dirty, but that's it's charm. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. The thing I love most about the Masquerade is how intimate it is. We often get to meet the bands because sometimes they just hang out and meet people after their sets. I've been to shows in Heaven and Hell and you can get as close to the stage as you want, that is if you get there at least a couple of hours before the doors open. I've been to 30 or so shows here over the last three years. Most shows have been great. My favorite shows to see are the smaller, lesser known bands. We once saw a show in Hell and there were litterally about 7 people at the show. I've also been to sold out shows in Heaven. Those can get a little hectic because the crowd can get rough and it can get very hot in there. Inside the Masquerade is very hot in the summer time and cold in the winter time, so dress accordingly. Be prepared to pay $3.50 a bottle for water and you may want to have some kleenex in your purse because sometimes the bathrooms run out of toilet paper. Other than that I love this venue.
Nice for a clubbing night out / WAY TOO SMALL for popular concerts – I first visited the Masq when I was about 16 years old, and have fond memories of the place. However, at 32, well its ok I guess. I went recently for the BLS concert and found the place just too darn small for a band of that caliber. Call me crazy, but I wanted to see the band, there was no good places to stand in the whole place. The acoustics were ok, the staff, was marginal, some good service, some, quite crappy service. However, the parking lot is huge!! Maybe if they don't close down they can expand into the parking lot. I must say , I felt safe both in the club and the parking lot, (me - 5'5 female by herself).
If you have never been, try it out, but I wouldn't suggest spending your money on a big concert there unless you don't care to see the band. It is completely impossible to see anything, unless you 6'3 or so.
I will probably never go back, but It is a fun place, for people much younger just not a good place for a concert.
review1 – kick ass club i loved it im going to go every friday night from now on

ACC games to look for this week:
1. Boston College @ Notre Dame- Not used to seeing a matchup like this. Number 4 Boston College is taking on 1-5 Notre Dame. This game shouldn't be close, but Notre Dame is coming off their first win.
2. Florida State @ Wake Forest- Last year's ACC champion faces off with 2007 contender Florida State. Judging by the close game Wake Forest played against Duke, only winning by five, I wouldn't expect this game to be very close.
3. Virginia @ Maryland- 4-2 Maryland looks to keep this momentum up after two upsets in a game against 5-1 Virginia. Virginia may be 5-1, but UMD will be looking to expose them as frauds, as their competition to this point has been lackluster, and their games close.Note: Game is actually on the 20th, my bad.
4. Ga. Tech @ Miami- These teams are turning into annual underachievers. Miami was blown out earlier this year by Oklahoma, and Ga. Tech started the year ranked only to be 1-3 in ACC play to date. Look for a close game.
ACC Power Rankings for the week
1. Boston College- Is there any real surprise here? BC is the only undefeated team left in the ACC, and they have played like national title contenders to this point. The toughest part of their schedule is ahead of them, so they will need to stay sharp if they want a chance at being undefeated. Next Game: @ Notre Dame
2. Virginia Tech- Lost only game to now no.1 ranked LSU. The only problem is, they lost bad. Early season national title talks went out the window with that loss, but they should still be playing in the ACC championship game for a shot at the Orange Bowl. Next Game: @ Duke
3. Florida State- 4-1 record, only loss was in a close game played at Clemson in week 1. Beat Colorado, the team who upset Oklahoma. Won by 17 this week over SEC powerhouse Alabama. Next Game: @ Wake Forest
4. Maryland- Two straight wins over No. 10 Rutgers and Ga. Tech vault them into the no. 4 spot. If they move to 5-2 against Virginia, people will start to notice. Next Game: 10/20 Vs. Virginia
5. Clemson- I couldn't decide on Miami or Clemson for the five spot at first, but decided that while Clemson has lost two straight games, it's not like the teams they played were UNC, or anyone like that.Next Game: Central Michigan
6. Miami- Miami looked to finally be turning things around. The only blemish on their 4-1 record was a crushing defeat to Oklahoma. Then, they played UNC. Now, they look gross. Next Game: Ga. Tech
7. Virginia- Many people may take heat to this, as Virginia sits pretty with a 5-1 record and 3-0 conference record. However, the only talent they have faced all year was Ga. Tech, and a 5 point win doesnt garner worlds of praise. Either does winning 60% of your games by 5 or less points, and losing by 20 to Wyoming. Next Game: UCONN
8. Wake Forest- Toss up between Wake Forest and Ga. Tech in this spot. Decided the team with the better conference record would suit just fine, even though they gave up 36 to Duke on Saturday. Next Game: Florida State
9. Ga. Tech- This team came into the season ranked into the top 25, and was looking to have a very successful year. They now sit at 3-3 with all 3 losses coming inside the ACC. Their season, well it's shot. Next Game: @ Miami
10. UNC- Lets hear it for Butch Davis! He's really turning this program around, and I'm being serious. They would usually have about ZERO wins around this time, but their working with a nice number two in the win column, and are not in the cellar of the ACC. Next Game: South Carolina
11. Duke- They scored 36 points on Wake Forest, give them some credit. Next Game: Virginia Tech
12. NC State- Once a ACC powerhouse, now lower than Duke in the power rankings. Gross. Next Game: @ East Carolina

It's like a big mix tape of problematic words! DOESN'T THAT SOUND FUN AND EXCITING?
Please share your least favorite Internet catchphrases -- you know, terms like "amazeballs." Or the dreaded, godforsaken "selfie."
I believe very strongly that language is a living, responsive thing. We are constantly developing news ways of expressing things because we are thinking of new things, conceiving of new possibilities.
A lot of folks are very concerned lately that this habit is ruining our young women by making them sound like air-headed insecure simpletons. I strongly disagree.
I, like millions and millions of other English speakers both native and non, can generally understand words and phrases that haven't come out of a grammar textbook.
Sometimes I wonder if it's too late to bridge that cultural divide.
While it's cool to know that being bilingual has scads of smarty-pants benefits, the study overlooks many other things that are awesome about knowing more than one language. But don't worry -- I'm here to help with five more!
This isn't about saying that men and women don't exist: it's about saying that the world is a whole lot bigger than dudes and ladies.
I almost included your gyno appointment, but I feel like some dudes would be real into that.
Black speak is my first language, too, the tongue I feel most comfortable chatting, even blogging, in.
body politics
I use the word "fat" to describe myself, and not in a humorous way, or a self-deprecating way. I use it because it's true.
body politics
I was horrified when I visited the xoJane main page, only to find a transmisogynistic slur, a word so hateful that I will not repeat it, not here, not anywhere, not ever, proudly emblazoned across the main page in connection with an interview with the Kardashian sisters.
Everyone's got a story. Mine just happens to have been written by somebody else.

Hang tight!
Recipe by KITTYCATGRL
"Great, round and delicious."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
12 cannoli shells
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
12 maraschino cherries
We LOVED this filling! I drained the ricotta for two days (got busy and left it draining in the fridge longer than planned), but it must have helped because it was not runny when mixed as some others stated. Left out the almonds, but I didn't miss them. Great recipe, just be sure to fully drain your ricotta so it's a thicker mixture to pipe into the shells.
I was a little dissapointed with the original recipe. As written, it's missing alot of essentials. For example, you MUST must must drain your ricotta. If you don't, after about 5 minutes it will be a soupy mess. Your ricotta may not look watery, but when it sits it melts. Also, I added orange zest to give it a bit more flavor. Don't go too crazy, just a bit (1/2 tsp) to kick it up. Another thing I did that was REALLY, REALLY helpful when I had that soupy mess was add heavy whipping cream (one pint). I whipped it with my hand mixer till it could stand on it's own (careful not to over mix...becomes lumpy) and then blended that into my cannoli filling. It made it very creamy and even now, a few days later, its still thick. I would recommend adding a bit of vanilla as well (1.5 tsp) but, only if your ricotta is drained well. I feel like that's the only thing my cannoli's were missing. I got really amazing shells at Wegmans for about .50 a piece. Alessi Shells...was in the pasta section in my Wegmans for some reason.

Excellent recipe - I have made this a few times and have now settled on smooth ricotta cheese and a touch more amaretto ;-)
I SO regret making this recipe... It is just SOOOO good!!!! I used 3/4 pint of ricotta and 1/4 pint whipped cream stirred together. I also soaked the cherries in amaretto for a few hours prior to making. This is definitely a 'birthday-and-special-occasion' treat! Thanks, Janice!
Great recipe, excellent taste! I didn't have the runny issue that some of the others had when making....Mine came out perfect. Word of advice, which I forgot...Don't fill the shells with the cream until you are ready to serve. I tried to make these ahead of time, put the mixture in a ziploc bag, so I could cut the corner and pipe it in but it looked to good, so I filled the shells. Made the shells a bit moist. Oh, and one other thing....I had to improvise for the shells, my market didn't have even the frozen shells, so I used the Sugar cones for ice cream in place of the cannoli shells. I know the real italians out there would probably run me out of town, but I think I liked them better, It filled the whole shell and was such a subtle difference in taste. Great Recipe.
OMG this is the recipe to keep, 5+++ stars. I used Sorrento whole milk velvetty smooth ricotta. I did not even need to drain this type. No almonds. I used 1/8 t almond extract and 1T water in place of the amaretto liquer. Skipped the cocoa powder, dusted with conf sugar and 1 cherry at each end!! I made my own cannoli shells with my pizzelle maker. AWESOME
Good recipe. I omitted the almonds and added a little more amaretto. Be sure not to stir the mixture up too much, or it will become runny. Tastes best with homemade shells.
These were delicious. I needed to use up some ricotta cheese and found this recipe. I also had some shells from World Market. Upped the amaretto a bit and added a little bit of orange liquor as well.

text: | A weird kind of povertyAugust 8, 2011 - Stephen BrowneThe United States is officially "the brokest nation in history" and rapidly getting broker. The vaunted budget deal congress and the White House arrived at last week did little of substance to correct this. The government is still spending roughly twice as much money every year as it takes in. The budget deal merely slowed the rate of growth of the deficit by an almost insignificant amount. It could be a good beginning though if there is sustained follow-through... Well perhaps I don't believe it either. Standard and Poor just downgraded the country's credit rating, meaning that borrowed money will come at a higher interest rate. Joy forever unconfined! Debt service, the money the government pays every year just for the interest on the debt, is already 14 percent of the federal budget. The entire military budget is 15 percent. Obviously debt service will soon exceed the military budget, and won't that feel weird? Times are tough, unemployment is high (meaning what the Europeans consider normal for good times,) and corporations are sitting on their cash reserves rather than invest in expansion and hiring because they are concerned about regulatory uncertainty. (That means they're not sure anything they commit their capital to won't be declared illegal next week.) And yet, what a strange time we live in when we consider people officially poor who have: Refrigerators - 100 percent. Color TVs and video players - 100 percent. Cars - as close to 100 percent as doesn't matter have one. Around half have two. Food - in America, the stigma of poverty is obesity, not emaciation. American doctors who have not worked abroad in the Third World seldom learn to recognize the signs of nutritional diseases such as beri-beri, pellagra, or scurvy. And as bad as things are, or might get, America is still the destination of choice for money people want to hide away, and people who want a better chance at life. Of all printed U.S. dollars, two-thirds are circulating outside the country. If the economy of this country collapses, it'll most certainly drag much of the rest of the world with it. But I'm betting some folks may have to tighten their belts a notch or two, but nobody is going to starve to death. If the auto industry shuts down entirely, I think our mechanics and salvage yards could keep a fleet of rebuilt cars and trucks on the road for years. But I also think the rest of the developed world won't be so lucky, and on the day the dollar collapses I shouldn't like to be an American living abroad.

Glendale - Homecoming week discipline problems at Nicolet High School last week weren't just for student pranksters.
A tumultuous week ended with a parent and former School Board president taken down in the school parking lot by police breaking up a mock keg party, according to a police report released Thursday.
On game night in the parking lot last Friday for the football game - the home team would fall to Grafton, 27-0 - a group of students busted out a keg in the parking lot, drank from red cups in an apparent drinking party, though only root beer was coming out of the tap.
"It was staged to look like a high school beer party," District Administrator Rick Monroe said. "I just can't accept that."
So administrators asked them to remove the keg, but students and a few parents resisted. Police arrived and the keg was eventually put away, but the police report said Jennifer Peltz, a parent, booster club president and former School Board president, told police she was donating it to the concession stand.
Monroe said the stand only sells drinks from bottles, and the students had been putting their mouths on the tap, during their keg stands, so they could not accept the keg and asked Peltz to remove it.
The police report said Peltz was "rude and noncompliant," and was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after being taken to the ground and handcuffed.
Calls and emails to Peltz requesting comment were not returned.
It was that kind of week at Nicolet, beginning with administrators getting tough on a racy event students planned.
Wednesday of homecoming week was slotted as a pajama day, but seniors traditionally plan their own theme. This year, they tried to organize a dress-up day themed "LAX (lacrosse) bros and preppy hoes."
Girls who wore skirts too short for administrators' comfort were asked to make adjustments to comply with the student handbook, Monroe said. No one was suspended for wardrobe problems, he said, but that's not the story that has spread among students.
"That misunderstanding created some anxiety and angst toward the administration," he said. Friday morning school officials discovered someone had broken a window into the swim coach's office, thrown a laptop in the pool, vandalized walls with profanities and "Kill People" in washable paint, and hung a swimming mannequin from a noose. Reports claim the mannequin had Principal Greg DePue's name on it, but Monroe denies this.
That led police to begin investigating the break-in, and Monroe canceled an afternoon pep rally for fear of a major disruption.
Monroe said the facts have been muddled through rumors, so he will send out a letter to parents early next week to set the story straight.
"The message I want to send out to parents is that we're here to support the kids," Monroe said. "I think people in the community either want to believe something different, or were told something different."

Did You File 2009 Taxes Without Keeping A Record?
3 May
An Overview Of The Importance Of Keeping Tax File Records And The Different Methods Available For Tax Organization.
When tax time comes around it is easy to fall into the habit of getting them done and then forgetting about them for another year. But good financial management can lead to more efficient tax filing and greater returns in the future and keeping records is encouraged by most financial experts.
While it may seem like a bit of extra work to organise previous tax returns, it does pay off in the long run. As well as making the next tax file easier to complete, the list of benefits from keeping a record of filed taxes include:
- Awareness of changes in your financial situation
- Reminders of tax deductions you could claim again
- Better management of investments
- More effective retirement fund management
- Evidence and protection against potential audits
Most people who keep receipts and other financial information for tax time will probably already be keeping copies of their returns, perhaps even filing them along with all the other evidence needed for a thorough tax return. But for the rest of us, this concept of saving tax returns could be a little daunting, especially if it involves trying to find old returns, or even the recent information used to file 2009 taxes.
Fortunately there is often a hassle-free way to obtain previous tax returns. Accountants will keep tax records on file, and tax software does the same thing, saving the information so that you can refer back to it if and when you need to. Most tax software that you download will save the files somewhere on your computer and most online tax software options, such as TurboTax Online and the Free File software from H&R Block, provide a .pdf document which can be saved and printed when the tax return is complete.
Once these files are found on your computer, you could save them to a specific folder for tax returns, keeping them in once place for ease of access or printing copies and manually filing. The IRS recommends keeping tax records for at least 4 years, and while you can request previous tax returns, it is a time-consuming process. Keeping an organized record of taxes will keep things simple and efficient, ensuring greater financial awareness and security, which is one of the reasons why tax software can be a convenient way to file and record tax information.

Jewish Fraternity
Joshua Borenstein Jewish fraternities have been around for over a hundred years with the creation of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), Sigma Alpha Mu (Sammy), and Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) all taking place between 1898 and 1913. Though initially created as an outlet for Jewish students in response to rampant anti-Semitism, the historically Jewish fraternities have gone in different directions over time, as anti-Semitism has waned and non-sectarianism has become more popular. Today, while Sammy and ZBT still have a large number of Jewish members, it is only AEPi that has stuck to its original mission as a Jewish fraternity, committed to developing leadership for the North American Jewish Community. But what does it mean to be a "Jewish" fraternity? This is a question that I have been struggling with since my freshman year when I, with a small group of similarly motivated freshmen, decided to reorganize AEPi at NYU. Is a membership of all Jews enough to qualify us as a "Jewish" fraternity? None of us believed it was. We agreed that if we did not work hard to incorporate Jewish values into the identity of our chapter, then we would be no different from any other fraternity on campus. We understood that as a Jewish fraternity we must strive to be distinctively Jewish, to rise above the hazing, to contribute to our community, to advocate for Israel and to fight for those less fortunate than us. And this realization has brought our chapter much success. Though only reorganized three years ago, AEPi at NYU has grown to become the largest fraternity on campus and was named NYU's Fraternity of the Year last April. But the gains from our growth have not been limited to the individuals in our chapter. Take our Recruitment Week: at a time when most fraternities are taking their "Rushees" out to Hooters, you can find the brothers and "Rushees" of AEPi at NYU making sandwiches for a homeless shelter or painting Mezuzot for the Jewish Hospice of Greater New York. Look at our pledge process: at a time when the "pledges" of most fraternities can be found cleaning the rooms of the "brothers," you can count on the "brothers" and the "pledges" of AEPi at NYU to work together as equals to build a Sukkah for the entire Jewish community on campus. Some people ask, "Well fine, you're not like the other fraternities on campus, but how are you any different from the other Jewish clubs at NYU?" Our response to them is that there is a much stronger sense of belonging and a much greater sense of commitment to one's fellow members in a fraternity. And this reality enables our chapter to mobilize to do things that other clubs simply could not do. For example, last year, we organized an event called "We Walk to Remember" in honor of Yom HaShoah, and though we invited the rest of the Jewish community, the only people who participated were the brothers of AEPi, with the majority of the chapter in attendance. We wore signs that read "Never Forget" and walked together in silence around campus while handing out materials delineating all that we were remembering on that solemn day. The following day, an article appeared in NYU's newspaper entitled, "Jewish Fraternity Walks to Remember the Holocaust," thus bringing the issue to the rest of campus. There's no question that "Jewish" fraternities can uniquely mobilize to advocate for Israel studies on campus, to fight for Darfur or to educate about the threat of a nuclear Iran. The real question remains, how many will? Joshua Borenstein is a senior at NYU studying economics and international relations. He is a recipient of the NYU President's Service Award and a member of the academic honorary, Phi Beta Kappa. [Posted 10/12/07] |
