Buenos Aires, AR (River Plate Stadium)
River Plate Stadium
Show Report
Mothers of the Disappeared is in the set tonight and Edge is on the charango for a moving finale to the South American tour. Here's the highlights and what they played.
The second show in Buenos Aires, again being filmed in 3D, was, if anything, even stronger than the night before, opening in a haze of blue and white Argentine flags which, before you knew it, had been transformed into a dazzling spectacle of Latin American flags for Streets.
'Dr. Martin Luther Kings dream is not just an American dream,' rapped Bono.
'Not just a European dream
It's a Latin American dream
I want to wake up in the dream
A dream for Peru
For Mexico
For Brazil
For Chile
For Argentina
The entire city seemed to be joining in on every word all night, the universal language of rock'n'roll. During The Fly Bono slipped in some 'Can't Get No Satisfaction' in homage to the Rolling Stones who were here just a little while back but everyone was pretty satisfied tonight, as illustrated in the U2.Com diary of show designer Willie Williams. overseeing both a live TV shoot and the 3D cameras: 'We were blessed with a beautiful night and a great performance, so the footage couldn't be better. I was in the control room again with Allen Branton our TV lighting guru who sat before one pile of video monitors showing what the 3D cameras were seeing, plus another showing what the Argentine live broadcast cameras were seeing. The two versions of the show could not have looked more different, to the point where it was hard to believe that these were two views of the same show, happening outside the window. Most remarkably of all, both looked great....'
And it was an incredibly emotional climax when Edge took up the charango for an acoustic version of Mothers of the Disappeared, dedicated to Madres de Plaza de Mayo (the Argentinian Mothers of the Disappeared) who the band first met in this city on the PopMart tour. 'The most beautiful
mothers in the world..' as Bono called them.
With Edge in the starring role until the heartbeat fades out, we are left with the singing and clapping of an audience for whom this song has such emotional power. Here's what they played.

Something more...
How was the show? Great. Best track? Most memorable moments? May be "Where the street..." with the latin american flags falling to the stage, or "Miss Sarajevo" with Bono as an opera singer, or the special lyrics for Argentina in "Beatiful day", or the real comparision between Argentina and Ireland before "One". Incredible...

Unforgettable.. in 3D
I'll never forget that show. After waiting for years. I born in 1968 and I'm a fan of U2 since the early '80s, but I could see a U2's show in South America in 1998, during the Pop Mart Tour (for me, the first time in Sao Paulo, and 2 times in Buenos Aires, my city). Pop Mart was amazing. But the Vertigo Tour's show was special, magical, unforgettable. Then, realizing that the band took a large part of these shows in Buenos Aires for U23D, was a wonderful gift for fans in Argentina. Thank you very much for that!. And I hope you return to Argentina in all the tours!

No DARK KNIGHT RISES Extended Directors Cut Planned for Blu-ray
Christopher Nolan Talks about the Ending of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and More | Collider
Which I believe was the opinion that the Good Doctor and I were arguing...CHRISTOPHER NOLAN: For me, The Dark Knight Rises is specifically and definitely the end of the Batman story as I wanted to tell it, and the open-ended nature of the film is simply a very important thematic idea that we wanted to get into the movie, which is that Batman is a symbol. He can be anybody, and that was very important to us. Not every Batman fan will necessarily agree with that interpretation of the philosophy of the character, but for me it all comes back to the scene between Bruce Wayne and Alfred in the private jet in Batman Begins, where the only way that I could find to make a credible characterization of a guy transforming himself into Batman is if it was as a necessary symbol, and he saw himself as a catalyst for change and therefore it was a temporary process, maybe a five-year plan that would be enforced for symbolically encouraging the good of Gotham to take back their city. To me, for that mission to succeed, it has to end, so this is the ending for me, and as I say, the open-ended elements are all to do with the thematic idea that Batman was not important as a man, he's more than that. He's a symbol, and the symbol lives on.
This is a statement I strongly disagree with, and I think while the sentiment is nice, it ignores the plot that has come before. Batman may be a symbol, but for a director who stresses the reality of the world he's created, Bruce Wayne's training is essential. It's the entire first act of Batman Begins. It's why Batman isn't a guy wearing hockey pads. Batman couldn't be anyone. He could only be someone who was physically fit and had access to serious resources. That's the reality.
So what you're saying is that a guy who, lets say has been a cop for several years who, hypothetically would have been trained in hand to hand combat, who might be young, who, i don't know, has a strong moral fiber, all he'd need was access to those same resources that Bruce Wayne had? Like, if he suddenly got all that stuff like a Batcave and those vehicles and those weapons...that he could be Batman too? Well, pssh...that's too far fetched.
Hand to hand combat is far different than the martial arts that Batman has mastered. It's like saying that a well kept Nissan can compete in a race with a Lambourghini. So, a street cop who works out for 40 minutes a day is comparable to a guy with unlimited resources practicing in foreign lands with masters of disciplines. The zip lining, the dropping from out of nowhere, and things like that are just so easy that any in shape dude can do them? No. You are oversimplifying. If you want to say that the random guy could be a streetfighting guy in a costume...ok, see Super, Defendor etc. A far cry from Batman. I want TDKR to play out 30 more minutes when JGL goes out for his first action and breaks his skull wide open because he tries to do what The Batman did. It's apples and oranges.

Questions and Answers with the Carters President and Mrs. Carter took a few minutes out of a joyous Friday morning schedule of meeting homeowners and volunteers to share their reflections on a week — and a lifetime — of building with Habitat.
Here to help for the long haul For Tim Mueller, a short-term mission with his church in Beaverton, Ore., has turned into a long-term commitment to help hurricane recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast. He is an ardent advocate for more volunteers and sustained aid. "You get more back than you ever give," he said.
'We're going to get there' Longtime volunteer Joel Fortgang, at his second Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, is a block leader for the rehab of 30 houses in the historic neighborhood of Forest Heights in Gulfport, Miss., this week. Next week, he's looking for a job.
Former Romanian president builds "Habitat builds houses and builds consciences in equal parts. These projects rebuild the idea of human solidarity, an idea that communism attempted to destroy in my country."
PMI employee at his first Carter Project "This week, we're probably in one of the places that needs help most right now. I had always wanted to come here and help before now. This is just great. Really cool," Winston MacMillan said.
Judy Sterry retired to build 'I knew after that first Carter Project that I'd be investing a lot of time into Habitat.'

Josh said he was tired of all the races starting with a gun or cannon going off. He said at next years Christmas Cruise that he was gonna begin the race with a "bell ring". He even sent me a video of him practicing. I don't think the Easley Mayor will go for this.

Home renovations make selling easier
The value added to homes by redecorating and restyling the property has been highlighted by television's interior designer duo Colin and Justin.
Both stars have advised homeowners that selling property is much easier when the décor looks stylish and well-presented.
Although this isn't new advice to most people it is becoming more and more important within the current economic climate.
The pair wrote for The Montreal Gazette, "With the property market more competitive than ever, it means property has to shine.
"Speak to most realtors and they'll concur; well-presented homes simply "perform" better at sale time."
Suggestions for potential renovations include painting, furniture placement, lighting, kitchen or bathroom modernisation and flooring.
Flooring changes and painting are each single changes which create a totally different atmosphere within a room.
For a long term investment solid wood flooring is the best option and will add value to your home, however for a quick and simple update laminate floors are ideal.
Laminate floors are cheaper but the floor will clearly be new and in good condition which is likely to influence potential buyers.
If you are unsure of shade or colour the conventional wisdom is that a light, neutral shade works best when you want to sell.
This is because it allows the viewers to project their own ideas on to a fresh canvas, which is one of the reasons that light oak flooring is so popular.

Listen live to Atlanta's breaking news, severe weather, & traffic online

Many homes in Sylvan Hills are empty, some because of foreclosure.
The investors are buying several of the homes up and turning them around.
Those investors said by refurbishing the homes, it's turning the neighborhoods around with them.
"We're trying to bring these neighborhoods back online," John Mangham with Epicity Real Estate said.
For Mangham that will happen one home, and one street at a time. "We're trying to bring a focus back to some communities that are close to downtown Atlanta, trying to breathe some life into one of the hardest hit zip codes," Mangham said.
Mangham's partnering with Realtor Derrick Duckworth to sell once-distressed foreclosed homes to buyers who might have otherwise not be able to afford them.
Hopefully we can stabilize the neighborhood a little bit better, get some more neighbors in the neighborhood," Duckworth said.
The pair is focusing on the southwest Atlanta neighborhoods of Sylvan Hills, Adair Park and others along the Atlanta beltline working with others to buy up boarded up homes and flip them for sale.
We're hoping to create a cascading effect," Mangham said.
Committed to Communities is holding an open house event in Adair Park on May 7.

*least favorite korn songs*!
Alright so, we always see polls like favorite korn songs, favorite korn album etc etc. So I wanted to switch it up a bit and see what songs some fans absolutely hate! Now, I'm not trying to be a 'hater' and focus on the negative but lets be honest, korn have 10 great albums BUT not without a few 'bad songs'!
*you can list your songs however you want, your top 5 (or should I say bottom lol), one song from each album, however you want to do it, just remember its your 'least favorite*
Mine are:
1. Wake Up Hate
2. 10 or a 2 way
3. Hushabye
4. Let the guilt go
5. Play me
These 5 songs I skip more than any other korn songs, every now and then I might be able to tolerate a little bit of wake up hate and LTGG but very seldomly. As for the others I never listen to them.

Let The Guilt Go is the one song I find myself skipping most often lol idk why...there's just something about it that annoys the hell outta me. Every other song though, I can play in a row at any time without skipping. But I can also agree with Hushabye too . Other than that, I FUCKING LOVE ALL OF IT.

Package pyjavaproperties-py26-0.6-1
Description: | Implementation of java.util.Properties (0.6-1) | |
This module is designed to be a python equivalent to the
java.util.Properties class. Currently, the basic input/output methods
are supported, and there are plans to add the XML input/output
methods found in J2SE 5.0.
Fundamentally, this module is designed so that users can easily parse
and manipulate Java Properties files - that's it. There's a fair
number of us pythonistas who work in multi-language shops, and
constantly writing your own parsing mechanism is just painful. Not to
mention Java guys are notoriously unwilling to use anything which is
cross-language for configuration, unless it's XML, which is a form of
self-punishment. :) | ||

Home-made Pesto Sauce
Every year I grow enough basil leaves to see me through the summer and, most importantly, to make at least one home-made pesto sauce. A lot of precious leaves are needed to make up 2 oz (50 g), but it really is worth it as the home-made version puts all the ready-made ones in the shade. If you can get Pecorino Romano it has a more gutsy flavour than Parmesan but, if you can't, Parmesan will do well.
Serves 2-3 with pasta
Ingredients |
2 oz (50 g) fresh basil leaves |
1 large clove garlic, crushed |
1 level tablespoon pine nuts |
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 oz (25 g) Pecorino Romano, grated |
salt |

There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe. |
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Summer Collection
If you have a blender, put the basil, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil together with some salt in the goblet and blend until you have a smooth purée. Then transfer the purée to a bowl and stir in the grated Pecorino cheese.
If you don't have a blender, use a large pestle and mortar to pound the basil, garlic and pine nuts to a paste. Slowly add the salt and cheese, then very gradually add the oil until you have obtained a smooth purée.

People to People becomes the latest inductee into an esteemed coalition of organizations collaborating on embedding 21st Century skills into current educational practices
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- People to People Ambassador Programs, the leader in global educational travel experiences, joins the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, or P21, a coalition that brings together the business community, education leaders and policy makers to position 21st century readiness at the center of US K-12 education.
People to People Ambassador Programs brings its 50-year legacy in enhancing cultural literacy through study abroad to a coalition that is striving to support educators on developing 21st century learning practices, including global awareness. P21 members include 27 companies, associations and nonprofits, and 19 states.
"With the globalization of the world economy, having young people who are culturally aware and able to conduct themselves effectively with people of other countries is essential to 21st century learning," said Stephan Turnipseed, Chair of P21 and President of LEGO Education North America. "We welcome People to People Ambassador Programs and the unique perspective and expertise they bring as a P21 member to our organization's mission to further 21st century learning opportunities for all students."
People to People executives will serve on P21's strategic council and participate in both national and state initiatives that will assist educators and policymakers in forming curriculum to ensure that all students are prepared for success in college, career and citizenship.
"We are excited and honored to bring our positioning as an educational travel leader to the conversation with an esteemed roster of national thought leaders and companies in the education and youth market spaces," said Bill Bland, Director, Educational Alliances for People to People Ambassador Programs. "The growing corporate support for P21 will undoubtedly accelerate the organization's influence to more states and at the national level."
This partnership is a natural fit, as People to People's mission to create global ready children aids P21's mission of bridging the gap between the knowledge of current education in the classroom and demands in the 21st Century workplace and community.

Jeff Francis pregame interview
Rockies pitcher says team just concentrating on today
First of all, can I ask you what would you like to prove out there tomorrow? It was obviously a disappointing performance in Boston. What would you like to prove out there tomorrow?
Whatever the outcome of the Series, what has this done, this experience, for you, the Rockies? You're a young team. They talk about young teams sometimes needing to learn what it's like to be in the Series. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but what has this experience meant to the Rockies? Has it been an important experience?
Briefly, the mood in the clubhouse, are you guys relaxed? How are you feeling?
Preparing to face Josh Beckett for the second time, do you go about that any differently having seen him pitch one time, and did you take anything away from the performance against him last time?
Has having your back against the wall for as long as you did give you any sort of advantage for today, tomorrow and the last couple games?
Can you talk about their approach as a team when it comes to hitting? It seems during the regular season some guys are aggressive, some guys will lay off pitches. But it seems that through their lineup everybody has the same approach no matter how good of a hitter they are. Do you sense that out there, as well, that they have a plan as a team, not just as individuals?
From the view of the press box it almost seems like they know what's coming, that they know when to take a pitch and they know when to swing. Do you get that sense from the dugout even when you're on the mound?

Plan Your Zion National Park Vacation
The walls of Zion Canyon soar more than 2,000 feet above the valley below, but it's the character, not the size, of the sandstone forms that defines the park's splendor. Throughout the park stratigraphic evidence points to the distant past, with fantastically colored bands of limestone, sandstone, and lava. Stripes and spots of greenery high in the cliff walls create a "hanging garden" effect, and invariably indicate the presence of a water seepage or spring. Erosion has left behind a collection of domes, fins, and blocky massifs bearing the names and likenesses of cathedrals and temples, prophets and angels.

Assistant Professor, Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience
Molecular mechanisms of metabotropic glutamate receptor trafficking and signaling
Research in the laboratory focuses on elucidating the molecular and cellular underpinnings of metabotropic glutamatergic neurotransmission in the brain, with the ultimate goal of developing a molecular rationale for targeted interventions in neuropsychiatric disorders. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G protein-coupled receptors enriched at excitatory synapses throughout the brain where they act to regulate glutamate-dependent neurotransmission. Signaling by mGluRs is critical to synaptic circuitry formation during development and to forms of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Dysregulation of mGluR signaling is implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders linked to abnormal neurodevelopment, including schizophrenia and Fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited form of intellectual disability.
We use a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry and imaging techniques to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying temporo-spatial regulation of mGluR signaling and to examine mGluR functions in neuronal homeostasis and synaptic transmission. Ongoing studies pursue two interrelated lines of investigation by examining the role of adaptor proteins in orchestrating and fine-tuning mGluR activity under physiological conditions and in animal models of Fragile X syndrome; and by investigating the mechanisms by which mGluR signaling contributes to synaptogenesis and neuronal maturation.

Avo Signature Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 2 of 2 reviews
"Absolutely Horrible!!!"
I cant believe I paid so much for such a horrible cigar. The moment I torched the foot it smelled like someone had just put out a cigar as opposed to just lit one. The first draw revealed a very harsh taste that I would never dare call flavor. It smelled like mosquito repellent and tasted worse. This cigar reminded me of putting your tongue on the + and ends of a 9 volt battery
very sharp attack with a horrific aftertaste that would not go away
I had to rinse with mouthwash to free myself from the abuse. One of the very few cigars that I had to toss before getting 1/4 into smoking it. This has been my biggest disappointment in my entire cigar smoking experience. Please dont waste your money and get suckered like I did! Absolutely a mockery of the fine tobacco experience!
Zulu in Los Angeles, CA March 16, 2009
Another full body AVO that smokes nice & easy. If you like the other AVOs, you'll like this one. Strong spice & pepper on the draw, with that distinctive AVO tangy sweet finish.

Test ID: 89119
ThinPrep Diagnostic with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for Women 30 Years and Older
Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.
Mayo Medical Laboratories' clients need prior laboratory approval to order Cytology testing.
For optimal interpretation, Pap smears should be collected near the middle of the menstrual cycle. No douching, lubricant use, or sexual intercourse for 24 hours prior to specimen collection.
Only 1 aliquot may be removed from PreservCyt sample vial prior to performing the ThinPrep Pap Test, regardless of the volume of the aliquot (maximum aliquot volume=4 mL).
An acceptable cytology request form must accompany specimen containers and include the following: Patient's name, medical record number, date of birth, sex, source (exact location and procedure used), date specimen was taken, name of ordering physician and pager number.
Forms: Gyn-Cytology Patient Information Sheet (Supply T601) in Special Instructions
Submit any pertinent history or clinical information
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Broom Collection Device
Specimen Type: Cervical
Container/Tube: Cervix broom (Supply T056)
Specimen Volume: Adequate specimen
