Abdul-Aziz al-Razim, referred to simply as Razim, is the main antagonist in Scorpia Rising, the ninth Alex Rider novel. Razim is a terrorist who claims that he has no emotions; this means he lacks fear, pleasure or even anger. He once tested this characteristic by strangling his dog, just to see if he would feel any guilt or remorse (which he didn't). At the age of fourteen, he worked for Saddam Hussein and felt that this was perfect for his personality (Razim even sold out his own parents after they talked against Saddam, an act which resulted in both their deaths). A few years later, he graduated to Al-Qaeda and eventually earned a placement within the criminal organization SCORPIA. Read more...

During my trip through the Arctic Ocean last month (Arctic Ocean Diaries) we saw a few walrus streaming south through the Chukchi Sea towards the Bering Strait. Winter was on their tails. Or at least soon would be.
There's a lot of urgency just now to figure out exactly where Pacific walruses are feeding and traveling off Alaska. That's because their world is changing so unbelievably fast.
Sea ice extent in the Chukchi Sea as of 12-16 Nov 2012: National / Naval Ice Center
Sea ice—the mobile platforms where walruses haul-out to rest and give birth—is in rapid decline throughout the Arctic. This summer broke the record for lowest ice extent ever seen. There was little to none in the US Arctic—the Chukchi and Beaufort seas—for most of the summer and fall.
The map above shows how little ice is in the Chukchi even now, midway through November. Red, orange, and yellow mark sea ice extents of between four-tenths coverage and ten-tenths coverage. As you can see from the amount of white in the map, there's still a whole lot of open water up there.
Tracks of 40 tagged walrus in the Chukchi Sea during summer 2012. Star marks approximate position of Shell oil well: USGS Alaska Science Center
As part of an ongoing effort towards an Endangered Species listing for Pacific walrus, researchers with the United States Geological Survey have been tagging walruses to see where they're traveling and how they're managing in the presence or absence of sea ice. From this will come a designation of critical habitat.
The map above shows the tracks of 40 walruses tagged this summer. You can start to see which areas are important to them. (For an animated track map that includes the dwindling sea ice margin go here.)
I added the black star on the map to show the approximate position of Shell's well in the virgin seafloor of the Chukchi Sea, Burger Oil Field. (See my earlier post on Shell's drilling efforts and errors.) Sadly, there look to be a lot of walruses using the dangerous waters around that well.
The video explains the USGS research efforts underway, with some gorgeous footage of walruses on ice and off.

Precipitation associated with Sandy, 23-31 Oct 2012 (preliminary): NOAA National Climatic Data Center
According to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center State of the Climate Report, post-tropical cyclone Sandy made landfall with a central minimum pressure of 946 millibars—potentially a record low for the Northeast coast, pending further assessment. The storm also rated as the largest hurricane to form in the North Atlantic in terms of wind spread, with a gale diameter of 945 miles.
This month's report focuses on Sandy as the monster rampaging through October. Here are a few other noteworthy stats associated with that storm:
NOAA National Climatic Data Center
Aside from Sandy's mayhem, October was shaping up to be a relatively benign month by 21st century standards. The average temperature in the lower 48 was 53.9°F—0.3°F below the long-term average. That ended a 16-month streak of above-average temperatures starting in June 2011.
But even October couldn't mitigate the bigger picture for the year. The period between January and October 2012 saw the warmest first ten months of any year on record for the contiguous US dating back to 1895.
As you can see from this graph, previous record hot years dating back to 1895 were wiped out by 2012's heat so far (click graph for larger image). That heat led to a few other costly complications in terms of drought and crop failures:
From the report:
The U.S. Climate Extremes Index (USCEI), an index that tracks the highest and lowest 10 percent of extremes in temperature, precipitation, drought and tropical cyclones across the contiguous U.S., was nearly twice the average value during the January-October period, and marked the second highest USCEI value for the period. Extremes in warm daytime temperatures, warm nighttime temperatures, and the spatial extent of drought conditions contributed to the record high USCEI value.

More than two dozen major climate models are being used to forecast global warming from rising greenhouse gas emissions—notably how much warming will occur when atmospheric carbon dioxide doubles from preindustrial times. At current rates that unhappy milestone will be reached well before 2100. So which models are more accurate?
For decades the leading models have predicted an average rise of 5 degrees Fahrenheit (2.7 degrees Celsius), with models on the low end predicting a rise of 3 degrees F (~1.6 degrees C) and those on the high end predicting 8 degrees F (5.3 degrees C). Now a new analysis in the leading journal Science suggests that the higher end forecasts are more accurate.
Why? Moisture has a lot to do with it. Clouds, well, they cloud the picture. Satellites observe clouds. But satellite failures, observing errors, and other inconsistencies make it difficult to build a global cloud census consistent over many years. A better measure is water vapor. Satellite estimates of the global distribution of humidity have become more reliable than their estimates of clouds.
Relative humidity is incorporated in climate models to generate and dissipate clouds. So the authors checked the distribution of relative humidity in 16 leading climate models to see how accurately they portray the present climate. They focused on the subtropics, the places where sinking air from the tropics make dry zones, home to most of the world's major deserts.
What they found was that estimates based on observations show relative humidity in the dry zones between about 15 and 25 percent. Whereas many models inaccurately depict humidities of 30 percent or higher. Less humidity equals fewer clouds equals less albedo to reflect sunlight back into space, hence more warming.
The models that best captured the actual dryness currently seen in the subtropics were those with the highest temperature forecasts. Specifically those projecting a global temperature rise of more than 7 degrees F (3.8 degrees C) by the time of doubled C02 levels. The three models with the lowest temperature forecasts were also the least accurate in depicting relative humidity in these zones.
The paper:
View from the 05 Deck on USCG icebreaker Healy on 15 October 2012: Julia WhittyThis was the view at sunrise from the 05 deck five levels above the main deck of the Coast Guard icebreaker Healy three weeks ago. (For more about this science cruise check out my Arctic Ocean Diaries.) It was a balmy 27°F (-2°C). On the same cruise last year temperatures fell to -20°F (-29°C). Last month the ocean was relatively calm. There wasn't much of anything to indicate we were actually in the Arctic. It looked a lot like South Pacific sunrises I've watched from open boats in a shorty wetsuit. Frankly it was creepy.
Arctic sea ice extent for October 2012 was 2.7 million square miles (7 million square kilometers). Magenta line shows 1979 to 2000 median extent for October. Black cross marks geographic North Pole. Yellow names mark the seas of the Arctic Ocean: National Snow and Ice Data Center
Yesterday the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) released their monthly overview of Arctic sea ice for October 2012, which explains a lot of what I saw. The map above shows October 2012 ice in white, compared to the median sea ice extent from 1979 to 2000 (pink line). Here's what the NSIDC report says:
Average ice extent for October was 7.00 million square miles (2.70 million square miles). This is the second lowest in the satellite record, 230,000 square kilometers (88,800 square miles) above the 2007 record for the month. However, it is 2.29 million square kilometers (884,000 square miles) below the 1979 to 2000 average. The East Siberian, Chukchi, and Laptev seas have substantially frozen up. Large areas of the southern Beaufort, Barents, and Kara seas remain ice free.
That's less ice in the Arctic this October than an area of Alaska and Texas combined.
My cruise covered the entire eastern extent of the Chukchi Sea and the entire southern extent of the Beaufort Sea. These are the Alaskan parts (and some Canadian parts) of the Arctic Ocean. The fact that they remain largely ice free even now could bode poorly for ecosystems accustomed to a cap of sea ice most of the year.

Sea ice cover for 28 August 2012 is shown in semi-transparent white, ocean depths in blues, deeper blues indicating greater depth: National Snow and Ice Data Center courtesy Jamie Morison/Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington
Really interesting in the NSIDC report is an analysis of what forces may affect sea ice formation:
Research by our colleagues Jamie Morison at the University of Washington Seattle and NASA scientist Son Nghiem suggests that bathymetry (sea floor topography) plays an important role in Arctic sea ice formation and extent by controlling the distribution and mixing of warm and cold waters. At its seasonal minimum extent, the ice edge mainly corresponds to the deep-water/shallow-water boundary (approximately 500-meter depth), suggesting that the ocean floor exerts a dominant control on the ice edge position.
They note that in some some cases sea ice survives even in shallower continental shelves because of water circulation patterns. The shelf of the Greenland Sea is nearly always ice covered because of southward-flowing Arctic currents that keep it cold. Meanwhile other shallow areas like the Barents and Chukchi seas lose their ice cover due to warm ocean waters and freshwater runoff from rivers—two forces that are increasing in strength as the land warms too.

Do they have an impact on bee forage (nectar)?
Do they have an impact on bee forage (nectar)?
I remember those dang bugs when I lived in Florida. What a pain to keep your windshield clear. I have no idea about what you're asking,
President, San Francisco Beekeepers Association
Do love bugs compete with bees for nectar?
More love bugs=less honey?
I honestly don't know but that's a good question.
President, San Francisco Beekeepers Association
I put 6 supers out for the bees to clean up after extraction.
All covered with bees and love bugs.
The love bugs are definitely feeding on the cells
I hate those things. They ruined the paint on the very first car I ever owned. (A while ago).
President, San Francisco Beekeepers Association
some seem to think if the love bugs are on a nectar source, the bees won't touch that nectar source so long as the love bugs are on it.
I've no scientific data
My wife says I have ADD, but, hey look- a chicken!
I dont have anything to back it up but I did notice last year that any goldenrod that had love bugs all over it had no bees working it. I know that they sure like anything white including my white truck and my white hives.

Jake is back with us, this time ready to stick something up his ass. This red-blooded, strawberry blond is a real guy. He's big, he's buffed; there's absolutely nothing unmanly about him. Yet there's a twinkle in his eye as he confesses he's keen on playing with his ass. A few girlfriends have planted a few toys up his bunghole, but this is the first time he's gonna do it to himself. He grabs a string of latex balls which he stuffs up his hole. His face reddens with excitement as he strokes his prick and inserts another ball. Being the showman that he is, Jake turns around to show us his packed ass. He gingerly pulls out the spheres, his sphincter slowly stretching open to release each orb, then quickly snapping shut. He stuffs the balls back in and continues to play with his dick until he finally shoots gobs of goo.

Former Queens hospital executive Robert Aquino has pleaded guilty to bribing former State Senator Carl Kruger.
Aquino, the former CEO of Parkway Hospital in Forest Hills, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery.
He admitted that when the hospital was slated for closure in 2008, he agreed to pay $60,000 to Adex Management, a company that Kruger had interests in.
In exchange for the payments, Kruger would use his powers as an elected official to keep the struggling hospital open.
Aquino faces up to five years behind bars and a maximum fine of $250,000 when he will be sentenced on May 3.
Kruger, seen above, resigned last month after pleading guilty to charges he participated in a bribery scheme. His sentencing is set for April 26.

"12 Years a Slave" isn't the story of an American tragedy. It's the story of the American tragedy — this country's original sin. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the lead in the true story of Solomon Northup, a free-born black man kidnapped from New York in 1841 and sold into slavery in Louisiana.
Other movies and books have gone here, but few so far and with such overwhelming clarity of purpose. "12 Years a Slave" is to the "peculiar institution" what "Schindler's List" was to the Holocaust: a work that, finally, asks a mainstream audience to confront the worst of what humanity can do to itself. If there's no Oskar Schindler here, that's partly the point. Directed by Steve McQueen ("Shame"); co-starring Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.

Foreclosures didn't spike as expected
Analysts expected a big jump in home foreclosures in Michigan in January. But the jump didn't materialize.
Home foreclosures slowed last fall in Michigan and around the country as banks dealt with a scandal about robo-signings. Essentially mortgage lenders signing foreclosure documents without checking to make sure what they were signing was accurate or truthful. Foreclosures were expected to spike this month. But they didn't. Realty Trac reports Michigan saw only a 4% increase in foreclosure filings in January. Nationally only a one percent increase.
"We are seeing evidence, and Michigan is one of those that the lenders are at least slowly starting to ramp back up processing foreclosures."
Daren Bloomquist is with Realty Trac. Bloomquist says bank repossessions did increase by 14 percent in January. Tere were more than 79 thousand bank-owned homes sitting with 'For Sale' signs in Michigan last month, according to Realty Trac. That's the highest number of foreclosed homes on Michigan's housing market since the company started following the home sales market in 2005.
Bloomquist says more foreclosed homes continue to join those already clogging Michigan's housing market.
"The market will still have to deal with those foreclosed properties that will eventually hit the market and be sold."

For Mickey and Friends: From the nearby freeways and access roads, follow the signs that say: "Theme Parks." This six-level facility is the second largest parking area in the world. (The largest is at Tokyo Disneyland.) There is tram service from the parking structure to the Disneyland Main Entrance Plaza. Restrooms and drinking fountains are located near the tram loading area under the escalators. Wheelchairs/ECV users will be directed to a special parking area, then proceed to the wheelchair/ECV ramps in the tram loading area.
For the Toy Story Parking lot: Take Harbor Blvd South past Katella, and follow the signs to enter the Toy Story lot. There is bus service from the lot to the shuttle bus area on the east side of the Disneyland Main Entrance Plaza.
Cost -- Parking is $16.00/day for cars, $21.00/day for "oversized" vehicles, and $26.00/day for buses and tractors with trailers. Annual passholders who have the parking option on their pass may park in either facility at no additional charge.
DOWNTOWN DISNEY -- Self-park or valet park in the Downtown Disney parking area. The first three hours of parking are free. You can obtain an additional two free hours by getting your parking ticket validated at Downtown Disney's AMC Theatres or any of the table service restaurants. After the three free hours (five hours with validation) the cost is $6.00 for each additional hour, charged in 20-minute increments.
Valet parking is available from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at a cost of $6.00 plus the cost of parking as described above.
Disabled guests should park in the first row of the North Lot near the Rainforest Cafe or in the first aisle of the Simba Lot near the Paradise Pier Hotel.
DISNEYLAND RESORT HOTELS -- Each of the three hotels has its own parking area.
For hotel guests
-- Valet parking is $22.00/day, plus tip.
-- Self-parking at the hotels $15.00/day for up to 2 vehicles.
Self-parking at the Grand Californian is free for DVC
members staying on points.
For non-hotel guests
-- Valet parking is $22.00 for the first hour, and $9/hour thereafter, with a daily maximum of $58, plus tip.
-- Self-parking is $15.00 for the first hour, and $9/hour thereafter, with a daily maximum of $51
Be aware that the self-parking lots are rather inconveniently located.

We recently went down to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Expo in Georgia, a place that feels like equal parts trade show and tailgate, but is full of grills, smokers, portable bars, and plenty more gear to get you ready for summer. By Harry Sawyers Email Comments 0 Share Back 5 of 6 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Best of Times Bar Price: $275 (basic bar and umbrella) Price: $335 (bar, umbrella, plus a set of four 500-pound-capacity stools) Standing around a cooler with a few cold beers is good enough for most drinkers on the go, but the elite mobile tipplers need to bring a whole bar. With an L-shaped steel frame, a polyethelene top, several shelves, an umbrella, and a waterproof sack as a drop-in cooler, the Best of Times Bar sets up in minutes. When the party's over, the 77-pound set collapses to fit a wheeled travel bag. Customized wraps make the bar into a boozy pep rally for a favorite football team or Nascar driver. The designers clearly have tailgating experiencethe BOT bar seats four, but it's just narrow enough to fit within a single parking space.

Home audio question..
I am looking for a new audio input set up. My goal is to have an auxiliary input mounted in the wall with an "on/off" switch and that's all. What would I need? It needs to run four speakers.

Life=Short. Jeeps=Cool
Really it seems like a super simple project. I just wired in a full 5.1 surround sound system into my house down here in Alabama. Wasn't hard at all. I ran a/v wallplates up above the fireplace and then down the wall to the corner and speaker wires from that corner to the ceiling and covered it with crown moldng. Didn't take much and it was a fun project. You can get everything you'll need from www.monoprice.com

I did something like that for my deck. I got a basic small amp, sealed it in a rubbermaid tub and hid it inside my BBQ cabinet. I ran a line in jack (3.5mm headphone) into it. I have just a 3.5mm wire, and switch inside a waterproof box.
So anytime you are on the deck, you can plug in your phone and have instant music, and just use the volume on the phone to control things. |

Between bluetooth and appleTV type devices... do people still really use "AUX" jacks? Just seems easier to do it completely wireless.
You can use an IR receiver/emitter to hide everything in a closet and still control everything pretty easily. It becomes much easier if you have a TV outside fo the "closet" to do display duty, so you can see what you're doing.

Great Costume, Horrible Hat
By Party Go-er from Oklahoma on 10/21/2012
Comfortable, Easy To Put On, Fun To Wear
Doesn't Breath Well, Not Bathroom Friendly
Best Uses:
Costume Parties
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about The Simpsons Duffman Adult Men's Muscle Costume:
The costume itself was great.
The hat that comes with it is horrible! Not even worth even trying to wear. Just a foam mis-shaped thing that sits on your head. I just bought a cheap red hat, cut out the logo and glued it on to my own red hat. Takes a little effort, but worth it.

Assessment of Rooftop Area in Austin Energys Service Territory Suitable for PV Development
As part of the Solar America Cities program, Austin Energy proposed to perform an assessment of the rooftop area available for PV development within its service area. Austin Energy contracted with Clean Energy Associates (CEA) to perform the analysis. This report summarizes the project objectives, data sources and methodological approach employed, and results.
Key questions addressed by this project were:
- What is the aggregate rooftop area, rooftop area suitable for PV project development, and potential for PV capacity and energy production from rooftop solar photovoltaic systems on key building types in Austin Energy's service area?
- How do the potential capacity and annual energy production from rooftop solar electric systems compare with Austin Energy's current capacity and annual energy requirements?
Austin, Texas

This past week, hundreds of HHC nurses took to the streets to tell our stories.
NYSNA members gathered outside every HHC hospital to talk to the press, let management know our concerns about safe staffing and working conditions for nurses, and to spread the word to patients and families and community members. Articles on the HHC "Day of Action" were featured in Crain's Insider, Crain's Health Pulse, as well as the NY Daily News. A feature report on the day's events was broadcast on News12.
NYSNA nurses filed grievances throughout HHC aimed at the worst staffed units. We are demanding that management take immediate action to address the staffing problems that we have raised. NYSNA members, together with our community allies, are the loudest, clearest voices in telling the true story of our hospitals - we do great every day, despite the difficult conditions we often face.
We are now taking our story to the airwaves and newspapers for the second time this year in a new advertising blitz.
We have to keep the pressure on management at HHC and the City to fix our staffing problems and to get mandatory staffing ratios enacted into law. Short staffing hurts patient care and results in intolerable working conditions that only make the problem worse. Our fight for justice from Mike Bloomberg and HHC continues — stay in touch with your union representative for more information on ways to help make patient care better.
Following are a selection of images; click on the individual thumbnails for a larger image.
Special thanks to HHC LBU Leaders, HHC Nurses and NYSNA Staff for sharing their photos from multiple locations. Many of these images, along with messages of support, can be seen on NYSNA's Facebook page.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

Frazier continues to laud the drive and equanimity Ponder showed in aiding the Vikings' four-game winning streak to end the season and told the 25-year-old quarterback to bottle that progress as he heads into the offseason.
Vikings got a glimpse at just how shaky things can become when backup Joe Webb proved wildly inaccurate and too easily flustered on his way to an 11-for-30, 180-yard, one-touchdown, one-interception night.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"
The games might be statistically similar, but that is where the similarity ends. Webb had -4 passing yards to end the first half. All (literally) of his passing yards came in garbage time. IN fact Webb didn't even get positive passing yardage until well into the third quarter when we were already down 24-3.
You can complain about Ponder all you want - he isn't high on my list of favorites right now either. But to even pretend that at any point in 2012 he played as poorly as Webb did in that playoff game is off the mark. Webb put in the single worst performance I have ever seen by a quarterback in a NFL game.Zeus wrote:

This is why Frazier did not get his extension. Frazier will go down with the ship if Ponder fails.
Spielman should go right along with him if that should occur but probably wouldn't.
I hope Ponder gets his game in order. He will have to overcome the pedestrian receiver corps Spielman provides as well as the inexplicable tendency of Musgrave to move away from things that have been working once he gets to the red zone.
I went to the combine this year for the QB day. Saw them all throw in person. Even talked to Bill Musgrave (who promised me that things will get better next year)! I think we should take a flyer on Landry Jones. Definitely a questionable decision maker. But he was one of only 3 guys that could make NFL throws. He can make every NFL throw in the book. Tons of velocity and height on his passes. Not slinging bullets like most college guys trying to cover up a weak arm. Glennon was by far the most overrated. Also really liked what I saw from Tyler Bray.
Sorry Rick! Keep up the good work.

'90210,' 'How I Met Your Mother,' 'One Tree Hill': You Ask, I Answer your love & relationship Qs
It's mid August. Fall is fast approaching and most of our favorite series have begun filming their new seasons. Figured it's a good time to start fielding your questions again...
"90210"! What can you tell me about my Kelly Taylor? She's not getting back with Ryan, is she? -Elisabeth
Not anytime soon, no. Ryan's preoccupied with that witch, Jen Clark, right now. Kelly, however, has a new crush too. Seems her rumored feelings for Harry Wilson are the real thing. I'm told K.T. will big time struggle with her attraction to West Bev's married principal this fall.
Thanks for the scoop on Jackie Taylor returning to "90210." I am definitely one of the old school fans who thinks the more veteran characters, the better! -Renay
I feel you on that. Unfortunately, I'm hearing everyone's favorite former TV cokehead may not be long for this world. Word is, Jackie Taylor is sick. Very, very sick. And I guess she just really wants to reconcile with her daughters before it's too late.
LOVED your "How I Met Your Mother" videos last week! Please do more of those! So great to hear that Barney and Robin will be making out like maniacs!! What else can you tell me? -Sarah
I can tell you that, though Barney is quite invested in making a relationship with Robin work, it won't be easy for him. At all. And it's not really about being faithful. It's more about the fact that Barney doesn't know how to do "loving boyfriend" guy. In fact, he's actually going to enlist the help of Professor Ted to educate him on "Robin 101"... which will inevitably end up making things worse I'm sure.
Good work on the "One Tree Hill" interview with Mark Schwahn and Sophia Bush. I was so sure that Rachel and Dan were going to be together and have a baby, but I'm really relieved to hear that's not happening. -Sal
Yeah, Mark definitely said the Rachel-Dan baby scenario is untrue. But that doesn't mean Rachel and Dan won't be together. Actually, I'm pretty sure they'll be sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G this season...

'One Tree Hill's' Mark Schwahn, Sophia Bush & Shantel VanSanten talk season 7
'How I Met Your Mother' video: Neil Patrick Harris & crew talk Emmy's, babies & champagne breakfasts
Robin 101.... awwwwww...Barney!
but yeah, enlisting Ted or Lily, as much relationship experts as they are or claim to be, bad idea. Their brand of relationship is not for Barney and Robin. but it would sure be fun to watch. hahaha! I'd say Barney should go to his brother James for help.
West Bev's married PRINCIPAL - not to be the grammar police, but it's a matter of PRINCIPLE!!
BTW, great article! And I can't believe that Jackie Taylor might be DYING! That is just sad!
I *hate* how they've ruined the Jackie Taylor character. On the original show, her drug addiction was for part of the very first season. For the next nine seasons, she was completely clean and a supportive mom to Kelly and Erin. I hate how the new show changed that, essentially rewriting history.They've done this was many characters/stories now. Every time, it's such an insult to longtime fans and the show's now-almost 20-year-history. I've said it before and I'll say it again: they should've left the original stories the way they had ended.
With its lilliputian ratings, how is 90210 a "favorite"?!!!
Teendrama*****, I totally agree that the writers of the new 90210 only seem to have watched Season One or Two of Beverly Hills, 90210. I was just saying essentially the same thing about Jackie Taylor earlier today! Your comment is 100% TRUE!
Also, the fact that the writers continually act as though Brenda was the ultimate "bad girl" is a slap in the face to anyone who KNOWS that VALERIE MALONE is the most awesome bad girl character from the series - sexy, smart, vulnerable at the same time - get over your Brenda Walsh obsession! She was only on the show for 4 of the 10 seasons it was on! Brenda and Kelly have no history together beyond 3 years of h.s. - they were barely friends when Brenda left the show!
And after Brandon cheated on Kelly, I seriously doubt that Kelly would EVER consider cheating with a married man.
And don't even get me started on Donna & David!
I see ol' Rena has crawled out from beneath her rock, still spewing hatred. Honey, you need therapy.
Love that idea for HIMYM!!
I didn't really understand your principal comment. Were you implying that Korbi misspelled the word, because the principal of a school is spelt that way. P-R-I-N-C-I-P--A-L. If you meant something else sorry.

Jay Leno is No. 1 in ratings for late night comedy among the networks for his time slot and in the key 18-49 demographic.
NBC apparently perceives a threat to its late night ratings from Jimmy Kimmel, the younger 45 year old comedian who does late night comedy on ABC in the 11:35 p.m. slot. Leno is 62.
So in the Spring of 2014, Jimmy Fallon, 38, moves from his 12:35 a.m. perch on "Late Night" to take over "The Tonight Show" from Leno.
Presumably, NBC feels that it will hold the No. 1 ratings for late night comedy with Fallon.
Maybe yes; but, maybe no!
2014 is the year for mid-term elections.
There will be a firefight in this nation by Democrats and Republicans in the elections for members of Congress to control the Senate and the House.
Voter turnout could be unusually high because of the hundreds of millions in campaign advertising dollars flooding the airwaves, and what can expected to be increased competition for Senate and House seats by women, blacks, Hispanics and other minorities, groups neglected by the GOP in 2012.
Indeed, should Democrats take control of the Senate and House in 2014, it is almost a certainty that Hilary Clinton will run as the Democratic candidate for President in 2016. A Clinton candidacy will spike political activism and turnout especially among women.
Jay Leno has been one of the leading late night comics for every Presidential and mid-term election since he took over "The Tonight Show" from Johnny Carson in 1992. And to the extent that comedians have influenced voters and the outcome of elections, Leno has been at the top.
But, on the brink of the 2014 mid-term elections, one of the most important elections in history, NBC decides to replace time tested and proven Leno with the new face of Fallon?
Talk about bad political timing!
Suppose the FOX Network decides to pick up Leno for an 11:35 p.m. comedy show?
If Leno holds on to much of his viewership, he could tank both Fallon and Kimmel in the ratings.
More interestingly, he also could draw a new base of politically active viewers to FOX, viewers in that key 18-49 demographic who are likely to vote and affect political outcomes in 2014 and 2016.
Talk about ironies, the joke could end up being on NBC!

Sports column: Nighthawks lacrosse returns for the season
A handful of high school girls from Duluth Central, Denfeld and East formed the city's first lacrosse team in 2004.
A handful of high school girls from Duluth Central, Denfeld and East formed the city's first lacrosse team in 2004.
Now, nearly ten seasons later, there are enough girls from the area to create both a junior varsity and varsity level team, team manager Sara Curwin said.
Any girl in grades six through 12 are encouraged to give Nighthawks lacrosse a try and this year. There are players representing not only Duluth, but also Superior, Hermantown, Proctor and Esko. The Nighthawks compete in the 11-team Minnesota Northern School Girls Lacrosse League (NSLA) and are 36 players strong this season.
As a club, the Nighthawks are not under the auspices of the Minnesota State High School League's sanctioned sports. The Nighthawks rely on the support of parents and a loosely organized board, Curwin said. Girls interested in playing are required to pay a $300 registration fee, but scholarships are offered, Curwin said. Also, all players need to be registered as a US Lacrosse player because the team carries insurance for each player.
One major difference with a club sport such as lacrosse, versus varsity- level high school sports, is the cost of travel. For club teams, all athletes or their families must pay for their own travel and accommodations. The Nighthawks work constantly on fundraising efforts such as grocery-bagging at Super One and selling wreaths during the holiday season.
"We travel quite a bit throughout the short season," Curwin said. "Teams will host a "play weekend" where one team hosts the field and many teams travel there and play each other."
League rules require each team plays each other at least one time and each season concludes with a potential state tournament berth.
"The Nighthawks' board is responsible to hold clinics, hold registration and find our own practice and game field space,"
Curwin said. "The last few years we have built a strong relationship with Tom Pearson, athletic director at Denfeld, and we are able to practice and host weekend matches at PSS. We have come a long way from hosting games and practicing at Park Point," Curwin said. "We even had to paint our own lines."
Although lacrosse is extremely popular in certain parts of the country, it is not as well-known in the Northland, but the excitement of the game is sure to draw in local fans if they just check it out.
"When folks come to a Nighthawks game they can expect to see excitement up and down the field," Curwin said. "The Nighthawks play in sleet, rain, wind and snow."
The Nighthawks will host home games Saturday, April 20, at Public Schools Stadium, no matter what the weather. Curwin encourages those interested in seeing what the game is about to dress warm and stop by for some free entertainment.
"Girls' lacrosse is known as a game of finesse; it's often not considered as violent as the boys'," she said. "Players make multiple passes, run, dodge and often carry the ball to the net ending with a direct thrash into the net [for a goal.]"

A pair of knee injuries have forced Brian Dawkins to miss a total of five games in his 15th NFL season.
That meant five Sundays of watching as the Broncos took the field without him. Adding to that frustration, his team lost all five of those games.
Dawkins, who missed all three games on the team's recently completed road trip, hopes to return to the field on Sunday against Houston at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The veteran safety wants to help his team complete a strong finish to an otherwise disappointing season.
"Sitting back and watching my guys out there going through what they're going through and not being in it with them, it is a tough, tough pill to swallow," Dawkins said. "So, being out there with them again is a relief for me — a tremendous relief."
Dawkins, who has been limited in practice both days this week, said he's reassured by the fact that his injuries were routine by NFL standards — unfortunate plays that happen in a physical league every week. He first had his leg rolled up on in Baltimore in Week 5 before suffering a similar injury six games later against the Rams.
The eight-time Pro Bowler said he's determined not to let a few minor setbacks slow down his decorated career. He said right now he plans to play both games to close this season and return next year, as well.
After spending nearly two full seasons in the same secondary, veteran Champ Bailey has no trouble believing his teammate will bounce back strong — starting against the Texans, who have the league's No. 5 passing attack this week.
"Being that he's had his little nicks here and there with his knees he didn't play a full season this year, so you can't really count this one," Bailey said. "He's even going to be more fresh next year."
If anything, Dawkins said the tough season might have added fuel to his passion for the game.
For now, Dawkins is just happy to be back on the practice field. After a few weeks of rehab, he appreciates the chance to be healthy again coming down the stretch of the season.
"It's been a process," Dawkins said, "but finally, I'll hopefully be able to get out there with these guys and do what I do."
Robert Ayers insists he doesn't have much to add to the scouting report on Houston running back Arian Foster, the league's leading rusher. The linebacker said the game tape on his former University of Tennessee teammate speaks for itself.
But that doesn't mean the second-year Bronco isn't fired up to welcome his friend to the Mile High City when the Texans visit INVESCO in Week 16.
"We've had a little rivalry since we got into the league," Ayers said with a laugh. "We always go back and forth talking junk. I'm looking forward to playing against him and getting after him a little bit."
In a Wednesday conference call, Foster immediately referenced the chance to go up against his old college teammate when complimenting the Broncos defense.
Ayers said he's communicated with Foster more than usual this week, helping both players get more excited about the matchup. The 2009 first-round pick said a popular topic of conversation has been what might happen if Ayers has to corral the running back in space.
Ayers, who has come back strong in recent weeks after a foot injury, said he hopes Foster, who leads the league in rushing by 21 yards over Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew, does become the first undrafted player since Priest Holmes to win the league's rushing title — just as long as he doesn't have a good game this week.
Combined with the fact that New England's Jerod Mayo — another of his former Volunteer teammates — leads the NFL in tackles, Ayers said he's happy to see his friends excelling at the next level. But unlike many football fans, he's not surprised that Tennessee's second all-time leading rusher has made a major splash this season.
"In my opinion, he's always been a great player, and he's continued to keep getting better," Ayers said. "This year he's really shown what he can do."
The Broncos put Matt Prater (right groin) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, ending his season. The team elevated offensive lineman Jeff Byers from the practice squad to fill Prater's roster spot.
Prater finishes his season with 76 points, connecting on 16-of-18 field goal attempts and 28-of-29 extra point tries. The fourth-year kicker has not played since Dec. 5 in Kansas City.
Byers, a rookie from USC who spent the preseason with Seattle, has been on the Broncos practice squad since joining the team on Sept. 6. The Fort Collins, Co., native was a three-year starter in college and earned third-team All-America honors last season.
On the practice field, Knowshon Moreno returned to action with limited participation. The second-year running back missed the final three quarters of Sunday's loss in Oakland and Wednesday's practice session with a rib injury.
"We are going to get him moving around a little it out there, get him some reps, and see if we can get him going at a good pace today," Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville said.
Jamal Williams (non-injury) was the lone Bronco to miss Thursday's practice. Dawkins, Kyle Orton (ribs), Demaryius Thomas (ankle), David Bruton (ribs) and Darcel McBath (quadricep) were all limited in practice for the second straight day, while Daniel Coats (finger) and Eddie Royal (lower back) fully participated in practice.
For the Texans, TE Garrett Graham (hamstring), WR Andre Johnson (ankle) and K Neil Rackers (right hamstring) did not practice for the second straight session. LB Brian Cushing (knee/ankle/foot) was limited Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice. DE Mark Anderson (knee), T Duane Brown (shoulder), RB Arian Foster (hip) and QB Matt Schaub (right elbow) all fully participated in practice.

Cedaredge High School students who find themselves short of credits with little hope of closing the gap before graduation day now have "Options."
The program is an extension of Delta Opportunity School, a program for at-risk students housed in the old middle school in Delta.
The program has been so successful it was expanded to Paonia, where it's called the North Fork Alternative School. The Cedaredge High School Options program opened this fall and already has 14 students.
Delaine Hudson, director of alternative education for Delta County Joint School District #50, said the CHS program is the only one of the three located on a high school campus. For that reason, it cannot serve expelled students, just the at-risk population. Throughout the Delta Opportunity School system, Hudson says, the most common "at-risk" factor is simply a shortage of credits needed for graduation. The situation looks so hopeless, students are at risk of dropping out.
Allen Golden is the site coordinator at Cedaredge. He is also the counselor at Cedaredge High School, so he divides his duties as do the two Options instructors, Dan Andersen and Jennifer Milburn.
CHS principal Kevin Gardner said personalization is the key to each student's success. At all schools, at all grade levels, the focus is shifting to individualized instruction. That's particularly important for Options students.
The typical school day, where kids generally have eight 50-minute classes, with four minutes to pass from class to class, works for a large majority, but not all students thrive in that environment, Gardner said.
"That's where Options came from," he said. The computer-based curriculum is supplemented by highly qualified teachers who can help the student who is studying Algebra II, as well as the pre-algebra student in the same classroom. Class sizes are limited, which allows hands-on activities. Schedules are flexible, so students can take electives, such as art or ag, or combine work experience with their academic studies. Some students may be taking senior English with the student body, while simultaneously recovering sophomore or junior English credits online.
The "school within a school" makes a lot of sense financially, Gardner added. Students have more choices without any additional expense for teachers, administrators or buildings. There is an element of competition with the Vision Charter Academy, Gardner acknowledged, but competition can only benefit the kids.
Hudson views Options as "middle ground" between Vision and the traditional school, for kids who need more of the structure that a traditional school provides, yet in an alternative setting.
A total of 103 students are enrolled in the Delta County Opportunity School program — 14 at Cedaredge, 24 in the North Fork and 65 in Delta.

X & The Blasters
Dec 13 2013
The Fillmore
1805 Geary Blvd
San Francisco, CA 94115
Lead singer and musical maven, Exene, says, "The Blasters are our brothers, so what better way to spend the holidays than with family? We are going to celebrate loud and proud, hope everyone will join us!"
Earlier this month, X saw a wealth of their classic catalog available digitally for the first time. On September 3, Rhino released a new digital box-set titled The X Collection: 1980-1987, which compiles the first six studio albums.
On that same day, deluxe versions of their classic albums Los Angeles, Under The Big Black Sun, and Wild Gift also became available digitally for the first time. All were released on CD in the early 2000s, but have never hit the digital domain. Standard and deluxe versions of their albums More Fun In The Real World and Ain't Love Grand will also be making their digital debut. The classic Live At The Whisky A Go-Go and the 1995 album from The John Doe Thing, Kissingsohard have been released as well.
X has spent the month of September joining their east coast comrades, BLONDIE, as a Special Guest on their fall U.S. "No Principals Tour.
The original line-up of X remains John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, and D.J. Bonebrake.

The combination of mild activity and major anxiety causes my core temperature to rise to 100.3. A boatswain's mate hands me a life jacket and ties a rope to it in case he has to yank me out of the water. Steinman gives me the nod, and I kneel down to enter the ocean. The water temperature hovers around 60°F. This may not seem that cold, but remember: Water is 25 times more efficient at sucking heat from the body than air. For posterity, here's a step-by-step account of what happens when you're stuck in the drink.
Chillin' Out: 9:30-9:32 a.m. The instant I enter the water, the cold shock triggers an involuntary gasping for breath. Try as I might, I can't seem to take in or hold a decent lung of air. This is called "truncal immersion reflex"-a phenomenon now believed to be the root cause of sudden drowning syndrome.
"If your head is underwater and you gasp and hyperventilate," Steinman explains from his perch on the dock, "you're not going to make it." Thank goodness for life jackets.
Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, a Canadian hypothermia researcher, once had volunteers hold their breath on land and then upon entering cold water. People on land averaged 70 seconds, but in 50-degree water, only 25 seconds.
Besides the effect on respiration, my skin stings. I hardly notice the surge of adrenaline that temporarily escalates my heart rate and blood pressure. My body has begun to mount a hypothermic defense-a response honed by evolution to retard heat loss. Paradoxically, the initial cold shock begins to wear off after only a minute. I start breathing normally, my skin stops stinging, and I feel almost comfortable-the cold has become an anesthetic.
Icy Hot: 9:32-9:44 a.m. That numbness, alas, proves short-lived. My hands and feet now prickle with painful pins and needles-evidence, says Steinman, that my peripheral blood vessels are constricting in an effort to shunt warm blood from my extremeties to my vital internal organs. "Pretty soon," he explains, "your hands and feet will be nearly the same temperature as the surrounding water."
By 9:36, his prediction comes true. A Coastie asks me to wriggle my now blanched fingers and thumbs in sequence, which proves surprisingly difficult. "This loss of manual dexterity is a real problem in survival situations," says Steinman. "When the muscles and nerves get cold enough, it's virtually impossible to activate a flare or work a radio."
By the 10-minute mark, I'm confident my time in the drink is drawing to a close. "So what's my temperature now?" I ask.

These sheets are so nice and they are larger than most so they tuck in well on my bed. The quality is very good on these sheets
Don't be fooled as I was! This product is half cotton and half polyester, NOT 100% cotton, so the "1000 thread count" is actually divided among cotton and polyester. The material is very heavy and feels like sleeping in a thick tablecloth. I would have returned it, but the sheets were opened and washed before I got my hands on them.
These sheets are exactly what I expected. The deep pockets are truely deep enough to cover 18 inch pillow top. They laundered beautifully and came out wrinkle free. I will order these again.
These sheets are 55 cotton/45 poly, which helps with the wrinkle resistance. The sheets are heavy and good quality, but not hot at all. Three washings so far and we like them. Color (blue) was exactly as shown. I'm thinking about getting a second set in the taupe color.
I wanted to use these sheets on a converted twin bed to king bed. I visit family a couple of times a year and all they have are twin beds (Tough to sleep with wife and sometims a kid on a twin). I sent them directly to my family, when I arrived and opened the package the sheets felt stiff and cardboard like, and since I never had 1000 TC I would have thought they would be softer. I did not have time to wash them so I put them on the bed. They fit well and were deep enough to fit around the box spring, and they felt fine, I di not notice the stifnessm but ind out if the sheets softend up on my next visit.
These sheets are great! Very good quality. Very soft. We are very pleased with this purchase. Highly recommend them.
I have owned 1000 thread count sheets before and these are a joke. They feel like maybe 500 thread count I am very dissatisfied and will def be contacting the company.....
I bought these for my daughter and when she came to my house to was them I was like OMG!!!! These are amazing. Now I have to find it in my budget to get some for me. LOL Great Quality - Great price.
Super nice sheets and a very low price, never going back to less than $1k thread count, step your game up!
I have purchase many sheet sets over the years from Overstock, and I refuse to purchase sheets from anywhere else. I have looked at stores and websites, and for 1000 count sheets, I can not find a better deal. I have purchased about 4 different sheet sets from Overstock and I have not been disappointed! I did make the mistake of purchasing an 800 count sheet set at one time, figuring the 200 thread count would not make that much of a difference, but it really did. I will never purchase anything less than 1000 count. I have purchased the sateen sheets, the Egyptian cotton ones, and now these wrinkle resistant ones, and I have enjoyed them all. These sheets are quite heavy, but I like that quality in sheets. I have always been satisfied by my bedding purchases at Overstock, and I think they are an excellent value!!
