CATEGORIES Features, Best & Worst of 2009Ah yes, at the end of the year it's certainly tempting to look back with fondness at the more memorable movies ('Up' or 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil') of the past 365 days. No one wants to pick the scab of box office disappointments, adventures in stupidity and paeans to the craptastic, do they? Oh, actually, we do. Here are the top 10 movies we were eagerly anticipating, only to have them dash our expectations upon the rocks of cinematic suckage. Ah yes, at the end of the year it's certainly tempting to look back with fondness at the more memorable movies ('Up' or 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil') of the past 365 days. No one wants to pick the scab of box office disappointments, adventures in stupidity and paeans to the craptastic, do they? Oh, actually, we do. Here are the top 10 movies we were eagerly anticipating, only to have them dash our expectations upon the rocks of cinematic suckage.
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'
Okay, we don't expect a lot from this franchise beyond cool CGI smash-'em-up robots, Megan Fox in a tank top and, um, did we mention the smash-'em-up robots? But even going in with admittedly low standards, we were awestruck at just how stinky this stinker really was. You wouldn't expect to have problems following the plot of a movie about robots, and yet this story was so clearly stuck together after director Michael Bay came up with his ideas for what would look cool to blow up and stomp on we kinda wish he'd done what he obviously wanted to do -- just shoot images of cool stuff getting smashed with the occasional shot of Fox leaning over. At least then we wouldn't have had to watch her "act."
'The Lovely Bones'
Admittedly, everyone knew the book by Alice Sebold would be tough to adapt. Starting off with the grisly rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl, the best-seller wasn't exactly summer blockbuster material. But who better to take on such dark subject matter than director Peter Jackson? While guys might know him for 'The Lord of the Rings,' indie film fans still can't shake their memories of 'Heavenly Creatures,' the searing based-on-a-true-story drama about two murderous teenage girls. But instead of tackling the tough stuff in 'Bones,' Jackson sidesteps the trauma, admitting that he wanted to make a movie his teenage daughter could see. Huh? No wonder 'The New Yorker' called the end result "redundant and undramatic."
'The Invention of Lying'
On the small screen, Ricky Gervais can do no wrong. He created 'The Office' and 'Extras,' for crying out loud. And, even though 'Ghost Town' was so-so at best, we still had high hopes that Gervais would be able to bring his sharp-edged wit to this comedy about a world in which everyone is unflinchingly honest. After all, the trailer, featuring Jennifer Garner as Gervais' deeply disappointed blind date, was screamingly funny. And so were the first 15 minutes of the movie. Unfortunately, the film kept ambling predictably along, getting cuddlier with every passing minute. While Gervais seems happy to make us squirm watching the foibles of his flawed characters on TV, on the big screen he seems incapable of coming across as anything other than a pretty nice guy. And if that's what we wanted, we'd rent a Tim Allen movie.
'Did You Hear About The Morgans?'
Every romantic comedy junkie knows that Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are possibly the king and queen of the genre. Too bad that they go together about as well as a tuna and chocolate sandwich. Still, even the cutest couple would be hard pressed to save what has to be one of the corniest concepts around -- two urbanites on the brink of divorce are forced to relocate to Wyoming after witnessing a murder and -- gollllleeee! -- don't they just patch things up real nice after being exposed to the wide open spaces and abundant mayonnaise? Darn tootin'! Insulting to the flyover states and perfectly predictable, we certainly wish we'd never heard about 'The Morgans.'
'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'
Hugh Jackman works the extra-long sideburns and wife-beater T-shirt better than anyone we know. And Liev Schreiber as his resentful half-brother? Perfection. But origin stories are often a suspense-free snore, and this one lacks the character development that's usually the bonus for sitting through a movie in which we know Wolverine will turn out just fine. Instead, we get lots of pointless action scenes and a jarring ending featuring appearances by X-Men Cyclops and Sabretooth -- but played by other actors than James Marsden and Tyler Mane. Call it revisionist pre-history, but we could have waited for this one on cable.
'Land of the Lost'
Sometimes great remakes can come from pretty crappy source material ('Oceans Eleven,' anyone?). This would not be one of those. The 1974 TV series was a gleefully silly adventure in low-budget Saturday morning entertainment for kids. The resulting movie is ... well, a mess. Too bawdy for kids, too silly for adults, it's a weird mishmash of 'Chorus Line' jokes (yeah, that's one the kids are gonna get), dinosaurs and sexual aggressive prehistoric men. Will Ferrell, we expect better from you.
'Public Enemies'
We'll watch Johnny Depp and Christian Bale read the phone book any day, no problem. Too bad this movie looks like someone dipped it in coffee grounds, left it out to dry and then stomped on it a few times. We get the sepia tones, but the jarringly modern shaky camera thing just made us want to throw up. And then there's the little issue of Dillinger being a guy who robs banks. Period. Even Depp couldn't make this character more than a head-scratching one liner. If director Michael Mann wants us to sit quietly in our seats for 140 minutes, we need a little more to go on than that.
'Whatever Works'
Sure, we'd about given up on Woody Allen making another good film until last year, when he surprised us by hitting a solid single with 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona.' So yeah, we got our hopes up. After all, with king curmudgeon Larry David filling in as Allen's cranky doppelganger this time around, 'Works' seemed like it just might, well, work. It doesn't. It really, really doesn't. Yet again, Allen has to skeeve us out with a May-December romance that borders on the puke-inducing (Evan Rachel Wood and Larry David? Ewww!), bore us with a hackneyed plot and suggest that anyone who doesn't live in New York is a boob who'll only blossom once he gets to Manhattan. Fail.
'Where the Wild Things Are'
We love Spike Jonze. We love Maurice Sendak's classic children's book. We love Catherine Keener. We loved the amazing trailer, set to the Arcade Fire's 'Wake Up.' There was no way we weren't going to love this movie. And yet, we didn't. Call us crazy, but we never pictured the Wild Things as having mental health problems. One is manic depressive, another is bitterly narcissistic, and let's not even get into Things suffering from what seems to be post traumatic stress disorder. These Wild Things may look all crazy cuddly and fun, but let's face it -- each one is a big, stinking drag. Add to that the fact that Max is pretty much a mom-biting brat on screen and it's hard not to want to bitch-slap Jonze and over-hyped collaborator Dave Eggers for ruining our childhood memories.
'Bride Wars'
Sure, Kate Hudson has starred in an endless string of stinkers since 'Almost Famous,' but that doesn't mean we don't still love her a little. Put her head-to-head with Anne Hathaway (who wowed us last year with 'Rachel Getting Married'), add bridezilla tension, and we're thinking this could be a fun excuse to pack away some popcorn on a Saturday afternoon. But in truth, seeing two intelligent, successful best friends turn on each other like maniac preschoolers fighting over who gets the better Barbie is just depressing.
Honorable Mention: 'Watchmen'
Actually, we kinda liked 'Watchmen.' But the truth was, we never expected anyone to bring Alan Moore's brilliant graphic novels to the screen, much less live up to the source material, so our bar was set pretty low. And in truth, it's a mixed bag. The movie gets bogged down in exposition, yet never delivers quite enough for viewers who haven't read the comic series; it's damn long (161 minutes) but, even so, too short for devoted fans; and it's got at least one laughably bad love scene. It can also be argued that, taken out of its late '80s setting, the movie no longer holds much of a political punch. Still, even a deeply flawed 'Watchmen' was better than most of the stuff clogging up the cineplex, so we'll just leave this one on the honorable mention list.

I am a visiting assistant professor of linguistics at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. I have broad research interests in linguistics, and have worked on research questions in syntax, semantics, and the interaction between syntax and morpho-phonology.
My research is based on both quantitative and qualitative data. Specific methods include eliciting data from native speakers both 'locally' and in the field, and also self-paced-reading and survey research paradigms. I have a long-standing interest in Hawaiian and comparative Polynesian linguistics, with a focus on the syntax, phonology, and morphology of these languages. My dissertation examines the morpho-syntax and semantics of morphological imperatives, and I am interested in the semantics of mood and modality more generally. Additional projects include more empirically oriented work on locality in Japanese, a collaborative project on speech errors in English, and (currently) on the licensing of heavy NP-shift in English.
At Carleton I am teaching introductory and advanced syntax, socio-linguistics, and comparative Polynesian linguistics. Before this, I studied linguistics at the University of Michigan, where I taught additional courses both as TA and as sole instructor.
Before starting graduate school, I enjoyed three year-long teaching positions with diverse students and in radically different places: an English 'cram-school' in Northern Japan, an elementary school in Oregon (via AmeriCorps), and in a 'Gymnasium' as a Fulbright teaching assistant in Linz, Austria. Prior to that, I studied Ancient Greek and Latin at the University of Oregon.

City Theatrical Inc. (CTI), the Bronx, NY-based manufacturer of entertainment lighting accessories, has acquired the New York City-based firm of Matsuda-Dunn Design (MDD), an engineering and design firm specializing in products and projects related to the entertainment lighting industry. It will be integrated into City Theatrical's production facilities in the Bronx, and the entire organization will be known as City Theatrical.
CTI president Gary Fails says, "This acquisition strengthens City Theatrical's engineering and product development base, and gives us an experienced custom projects group. While we have always done a great deal of custom metalwork and manufacturing, we now can offer our dealer network a much higher level of support on their systems and installations work, including electrical and mechanical engineering and software development. We hope to work even more closely with our dealers and support them in more ways than ever."
MDD principal Larry Dunn says, "I've known and worked with City Theatrical for many years while I was with Production Arts, and then the Fourth Phase Systems Group, and more recently as the founder of Matsuda-Dunn Design, and have always admired City's quest for innovative product development. This move gives us the ability to create a wide range of useful catalog products, while participating in really interesting custom projects with our dealers. I think we have the ability to participate in some of the most interesting new products and projects in the industry."

Scott Baker, who got lit up by the Red Sox Monday night, is the Twins' best starting pitcher but is going on the DL for the second time this season. Joe Christensen:
The Twins returned Scott Baker to the 15-day disabled list with a strained flexor muscle in his right elbow and recalled Kevin Slowey, who is scheduled to start Sunday in Cleveland.
On a list of unhappy pitchers with 4.6 career strikeout-to-walk ratios in the major leagues, Kevin Slowey must be somewhere near the top. Slowey actually went 13-6 last season, but his ERA wasn't real good because he gives up a lot of home runs, but he's been hurt this season and the Twins don't like him much anyway, so most of his action's come in the minors ... where he's done what he always does.
Slowey's action with the big club this season consists of six relief outings and 15 innings. His track record suggests a perfectly capable No. 4/5 starter, and he's still only 27. He'll probably need to find a new team to get another legitimate shot in the rotation, so the next few weeks are probably an audition that Slowey will be highly motivated to pass.

I am going to start a new app from scratch. It has high usage of images. Just wanted to know if bitmaps or svg images would be better to use in the app considering the performance of the application? I know svgs are independent of screen size and they can stretch according the screen size but i am going have only one resolution for the app i.e 360x640. If screen size is fixed, then do you think bitmaps are better to use than svgs?
Please suggest. I have not worked with svgs so far. If you think svgs are better in all situations, plz provide some links explaining usage of svgs in application views and as application icon as well.

If you have bulging, unsightly painful varicose veins, there is a team of experts at Avera Veradia who concentrate solely on treating veins. Nancy Naeve Brown has more on a Sioux Falls women who got treated once and now proudly shows off how she has a leg up on varicose veins.
Amber Kelly has always been a runner, so in my opinion, she's always had great pair of legs but she says after two life changing events in the last two years, her left leg changed for the worse.
"My pregnancy in 2010 I started noticing varicose veins on my left leg and they weren't really very bad then but with by last pregnancy last fall they started to get a lot worse and kind of crawling up my leg down to my heel. It wasn't like a sharp pain but a dull ache by the end of the day after working all day. After delivering in January it was discolored and the vein was popping up, "Amber said.
Her second baby Jai was born in January, Amber turned 30 in February and by mid-March she made an appointment to see Interventional Radiologist Dr. Matthew Casey at the Avera Veradia Vein Center on the campus of Avera McKennan. Amber knew she was too young to have such an old looking aching left leg.
"Amber had venous insufficiency in her greater saphenous vein. We treated it by closing the vein by using a radiofrequency ablation device. The device has been around a couple of years but it's relatively new to the clinic. We've had it for about a year. Before we used a laser device which worked well, but we've found radiofrequency device a little less painful. Using heat energy to damage the lining of the vein caused the underlying problematic vein to scar shut. There are so many connections between the veins of the legs so the blood just re-routes itself to other veins and circulates back to the heart, "Dr. Casey with Avera Medical Group Radiology said.
Dr. Casey did the procedure using only a local anesthetic. Amber was awake and talking the whole time. Again she only had varicose veins in her left leg. You can really see the difference in the before radiofrequency ablation pictures and after.
"It's great. It looks so much better. No pain, aching, really nothing. The procedure was so easy. I worked later that day. In fact I had it done at 8 and worked at 10, "Amber said.
No surgery, no downtime, no varicose veins.
Because varicose veins are a medical condition that typically causes pain, most insurance companies will cover the treatment. Call Avera Veradia Vein Center at 605-322-8346.

A Tarpon Springs 11th-grader is facing charges of bringing a loaded gun to school Monday morning, police said.
Dre'Tonio Maitez Greer, 16, told officials he recently found the .32 calliber gun and brought it to school for protection.
Around 8 a.m., school resource officers, acting on an anonymous tip, removed Greer from his class. While talking with police, Greer admitted to having the firearm.
Investigators said the gun had three rounds in the magazine and a serial number that had been filed off. There were no rounds in the chamber, according to police.
Greer told authorities he brought the firearm on campus because of problems he was having outside of school with a few other students at the school.
There were no threats made at any-time on the campus located at 1411 Gulf Rd., and school activity was never disrupted.
Greer is facing charges of possessing a firearm on school grounds and carrying a concealed firearm, both felonies.

West Virginians will receive more than $3.8 million in funds from a mortgage settlement.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced June 4 that residents of the state who experienced a foreclosure sale between Jan. 1, 2008, and Dec. 21, 2011, may receive a check for approximately $1,480 during the next few weeks from the National Mortgage Settlement.
A total of 2,664 checks will be mailed the week of June 10 to West Virginia residents who were involved in 2,567 loans during the three-year period. Some loan payments are being split between borrowers who are now divorced or separated, which is why the number of checks is higher than the number of loans.
Earlier this year, West Virginia and 48 other states and the federal government announced the National Mortgage Settlement with five participating mortgage service providers—Ally/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo. The settlement included a $1.5 billion payment pool the states and federal government negotiated and set aside to help compensate borrowers for mortgage servicing abuse they may have experienced.
"These payments serve two purposes," Morrisey said. "In addition to compensating borrowers for servicing abuses that happened in the past, they also are a part of our efforts to hold banks accountable and stop these practices through the settlement's new mortgage servicing standards."
The payment from the settlement does not disallow the borrower from seeking relief through a separate lawsuit or other claims, according to Morrisey.
Some payments may be delayed, however. According to Rust Consulting, payments for a small number of borrowers who submitted a claim form but did not have a valid Social Security number on file will be delayed while taxation and W-9 solicitation items are addressed. An additional 31,000 consumers whose information recently was provided by two different services will be notified by Rust later this summer.
Borrowers may receive less than the $1,480 payment if they divorced or separated and no longer live at the same physical address. The full amount will be paid, but will be split between the two borrowers.
Every borrower who filed a claim will receive a letter regarding their outcome, according to Morrisey's office. Borrowers who have questions about their payment should call settlement administrator Rust Consulting at 1-866-430-8358. Information also can be found at www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com.

Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia went only two innings, though he managed to squeeze a game's worth of pitches in there, and that meant it was a bullpen game for the Cards. They were pretty good at the bullpen games last year, as they didn't have a starter record an out in the sixth inning of any of the NLCS. It looks like Mike Matheny found the index cards that Tony La Russa left.
And if it's a bullpen game that early, that probably means Lance Lynn, who was converted from a reliever to a starter to a reliever to a starter this year. He might have been a better option to start instead of Lance Lynn, in retrospect.
Lynn was mostly cruising until the top of the fifth, when he allowed one of these to Ryan Zimmerman ...
... and one of these to Adam Laroche.
Alas, both were solo shots, and Lance escaped the inning without further damage. The Nationals are just a swing away from tying it up, down just 7-3, but they'd need base runners first.

CNN takes a look at the kick that got everyone talking about Anderson Silva. CNN had video available earlier in the week showing the kick. This article talks about the saftey of MMA and also talks to Vitor. Pretty good and fair article on MMA from a major news outlet.
Post UFC presser montage: Jones on training for Shogun; Anderson on the code Vitor broke; Vitor entering press conference and congratulating Anderson; Anderson describes how he thinks a fight with GSP would go; Steven Seagal on how happy he was when the kick landed.
"Shogun should start training right now" - Fabio Borges, Brazilian journalist. More of his stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88q6lSOUdgI (Sorry I couldn't embed the Youtube vid. It kept saying I can't leave html empty, which I wasn't)
With Rashad Evans injured, Jon Jones earned a shot at the light heavyweight title against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, but the young talented fighter wasn't UFC's first option to replace Evans. According to the champion to TATAME TV, Rampage was offered the shot. "The UFC thought in other alternatives, but it didn't worked out. For some reason he (Jackson) didn't accepted it", Shogun said, talking about his upcoming fight against Jon Jones. "I'll have to change my training because he's a lot different from Rashad, much taller, and it'll be a great challenge. He's been surprising everybody in the UFC, defeated everybody with ease, and it'll be a tough fight for me", he stated.
How did it feel to watch so closely one of the most expected fights in all history? To me it was wonderful, great, not only because of the repercussion the fight had in Brazil, but around the world. The whole world was expecting this fight. Vitor was one of the last hopes to defeat Anderson, and you saw what happened... Were you surprised with a knockout on the first round? Did you think it'd last longer? Of course. Until that moment Vitor was winning the fight, he had attacked and taken Anderson down. I thought it'd be an interesting fight, but the kick Anderson did caught everybody by surprise, including Vitor. UFC's coming to Rio in August. Do you hope to be invited to judge some bout? I'm cheering for them to call me for UFC Rio, and I think they will. It'd be stupid if they didn't (laughs). The whole world is waiting for this event to happen.
Although it was mentioned in his post fight interview with Ariel Helwani, I didn't realise it was so close to the event. This is probably why Cowboy didn't look his usual self last night. But nonetheless he still managed to WIN. R.I.P. Cowboy's Grandpa
The BloodyElbow.com staff give their predictions for UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort. The event takes place on Superbowl weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jon Jones has been hailed as the new generation of fighter by Marshall Zelaznik, who cannot wait to see the light-heavyweight take on Ryan Bader at UFC 126. "I remember watching Jon Jones toss Stephen Bonnar around the Octagon and I turned to my son and said 'my God, look at this guy'," Zelaznik told ESPN. "Jones is like the MMA fighter 3.0. "If 1.0 was the Chuck Liddell era, and GSP was the 2.0, Jon Jones might be fighter 3.0. His strength, his technique, his enthusiasm... this guy needs to be watched. Not only that, he makes it his priority to improve. Often you see talent like that go to waste. Not Jon Jones. "This fight, if it was boxing, they wouldn't be meeting for another five years," said Zelaznik. "You would keep them on separate paths, you would build their records and feed them opponents. But we're going to see where the cream rises."
Join the Bloody Elbow Betting Game for UFC 126, which is headlined by UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort.
UFC 126 Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort: Cracking The Code Although Anderson Silva is one of the greatest champions the UFC has ever hosted, every great fighter's reign must end. The man has never lost a title fight, managing to finish six of his eight championship bouts before the judges could have a say. That leaves two unanimous decisions wins over Thales Leites and Demian Maia. These, unfortunately for Silva, comprise two of his last three title fights, suggesting that his finishing ability may be escaping him as he enters the latter half of his thirties. Even though he submitted Chael Sonnen in the fifth round, the beating he took en-route to the submission victory seems to contribute to the case that Silva may be slowing due to age. In addition to the possibility that Silva is losing his greatest asset, superior speed, he may also fall victim to the execution of a sound game plan. In his last two fights he has shown chinks in his armor in the least likely of places. Against Maia he came out in traditional fashion and delivered devastating strikes for the first three rounds, landing nearly every shot he threw. As the fight entered championship territory Silva seemed to become less efficient and less effective with his striking. His aggressive offense gave way to a more defensive avoidant strategy that left many wondering if exhaustion could explain the fighter's peculiar shift in game plan. In the fifth round Maia landed more than twice as many power shots to the head than did Silva. Maia, not known for his striking, was able to connect with clean punches on the once impossibly elusive champion. Signs of Silva's diminishing speed continued, as was evident in his most recent fight with Chael Sonnen. The Sonnen fight was a serious wake up call for Silva and served as a "How to Defeat Anderson Silva Manual" for UFC middleweight challengers. At the start of the first round, Sonnen quickly sent Silva to the mat with a series of big punches. By the end of the night Silva had absorbed more strikes in twenty-three minutes than he had in his entire UFC career. Sonnen managed to outclass the champion in every facet of the game until the opportunistic Silva secured a triangle choke halfway through the final round. Although Sonnen would test positive for performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) and rumors of Silva's rib injury surfaced, the fight still showed that it is possible to dismantle Silva. Sonnen may be a rarity in that he possesses quick enough feet and strong enough wrestling to get Silva to the mat, but his hands have never been considered a real weapon, and they alone put Silva on his back. Vitor Belfort has been afforded the luxury of seeing Sonnen crack the code of an aging Silva. Regardless of the benefits Sonnen received from the PEDs, Silva is facing an even quicker opponent in Belfort. For the most part Sonnen managed to outclass Silva's standup. Thus, it can be expected that Belfort, regarded as having some the most lethal hand techniques in MMA, will challenge the champion's legendary striking. If Silva's injury was truly to blame for his lackluster standup and Vitor finds himself in trouble on his feet, he can utilize another tactic employed by Sonnen: Wrestling. Silva's impeccable take down defense has relied on his superior reflexes. Reflexes that seemed absent during his last fight. Belfort has solid wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), judo, and is perhaps one of the only middleweights considered to be quicker than Silva. This combination of technique and athletic ability should allow him to execute the game plan mapped out by Sonnen. But, Belfort's black belts in both BJJ and judo should prevent him from being submitted like Sonnen. Silva is a legendary champion who has dominated for nearly five years while demonstrating immense skill, dedication, and heart. Unfortunately for Silva, Belfort posses the knowledge and skill to dethrone the champ, and will likely do so come February 5th. By Eric Warden

Harry Reid is a bigoted Beltway corruptocrat with an interminable case of diarrhea of the mouth.
For two bloody months, an armed jihadist serial killer ran loose across the country. At least four innocent men died this spring and summer as acts of "vengeance" on behalf of aggrieved Muslims, the self-confessed murderer has now proclaimed. Have you heard about this horror? Probably not.
The most poisonous "-ism" now infecting Ferguson, Missouri, is not virulent racism. It's viral narcissism.
If you've been watching cable news, reading Hollywood celebrities' tweets and listening to race-hustling opportunists, you might think that every police officer in America has a finger on the trigger, hunting for any excuse to gun down defenseless youths.

The lofty motto of the Environmental Protection Agency is "protecting people and the environment."
It is now all the fashionable rage in Washington, D.C., to proclaim solidarity with America's working poor in front of the cameras -- while stabbing them in the back behind closed doors.
The White House pretended to champion American workers this week with gimmicky initiatives on federal job training and "workplace innovation." But far from the Beltway dog-and-pony show, a group of American workers ruthlessly shafted by the Obama administration was finally getting some real support -- and inching toward justice.
Philip Gara LaMarche is a secretive political operative who funnels billions of dollars from undisclosed donors to nonprofits and astroturf groups. But you won't hear unhinged Harry Reid railing Queegishly about him on the Senate floor. Why?
Barack and Michelle Obama are quite the diversionary tag-team. He blames everyone else for his problems. She takes credit for progress on his behalf that he doesn't deserve and distracts public attention from his avalanche of failures with endless feel-good photo-ops.
The Vargas stunt will backfire because it is a smug and emblematic middle finger to everyone outside the D.C.-Manhattan bubble who believes in following the rules.
Some sore losers just don't know when to pick up their billion-dollar marbles and go away. Far, far away.

Everything you want in one package!! I'd been intending to get a Weather Radio for years and when I saw this one, I immediately bought it. I am just thrilled with all the ways of charging it. I haven't tried the Solar Charger yet, but I expect it will work just as well as everything else. I'd looked into the CC Radio brand before because I'd heard of their reputation for being able to receive an AM signal very well. I am very happy will everything about it!! July 12, 2014
Great value! I've been thinking about purchasing one of these radios, but was hesitant about spending the money on something I really didn't need. If I'd known how nice it is, I would have bought one a long time ago. Now I wish I'd gotten more to give as gifts. June 21, 2014

CC Observer Solar Radio I bought this radio/flashlight for emergency use. I did play with it a bit and found that the flashlight is bright and the radio is clear sounding. I haven't tried charging it using the solar panel yet or with the crank so can't comment on these. For the price and what it offers I'd recommend purchasing it for emergency use. January 14, 2014

Steelers 2008 Draft Serves as Cautionary Tale for 2012
A blue chip player inexplicably falls to the Steelers in the first round. In the second the Steelers also snag "first rounder woulda been." Something similar happens in round five. And viola, the Steelers have a great draft. Sound familiar? It should, because much of what transpired with the Steelers 2012 draft also occurred in 2008…. ….OK.

DALLAS –– In a lawsuit filed Monday, the family of a six-year-old Dallas boy allege a Children's Medical Center doctor's misdiagnosis led to his death.
Roberto Llanas Jr. was rushed to the hospital after colliding with a pole last May in John W. Carpenter Elementary School's playground. The lawsuit, which alleges the boy was "writhing in pain" upon his arrival, says he was given an X-Ray, diagnosed with constipation and sent home.
Four hours later, his parents called for help again.
"At this point, he was losing consciousness," recalls father Roberto Llanas Sr. "At that point I got scared and called an ambulance."
His son died en-route to the hospital. According to results from an autopsy, Lllanas Jr. died of a "lacerated left kidney" and internal "hemorrhage." The suit names Children's Emergency Room physician Dr. Abbie Leigh Smith, Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern.
All have denied gross negligence, said attorney Les Weisbrod, who is representing the family. In Texas, damages to be paid in a malpractice case are capped at $250,000.
"They don't want to pay the $250,000 for the death of the child but are saying they would pay something significant lower for the death of a child," Weisbrod said. "I think that's terrible and I think the public needs to know about how these types of things happen and occur."
Spokespeople for Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern, where Smith is a faculty member, both declined to comment on the pending litigation. The suit accuses her of "willful and wanton negligence" that "was a direct and proximate cause of the injuries and damages" suffered by Llanas Jr.
The physicians are accused of "misusing and administering" an enema, which, the suit says, led to the misdiagnosis. Llanas Jr. was also given a kidney, ureter and bladder X-Ray –– also known as a KUB –– that "masked Plaintiff's symptoms of internal trauma."
Cristal Mendoza and Llanas Sr. say they filed the suit to hold the hospitals responsible for their son's death. They said the monetary amount was not a motivator.
"I trusted the doctor, what the doctor said," Mendoza says. "I just want to make parents aware."

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This is one of the most popular routes in Eldo, and for a good reason. It is long, not too sustained, and a beautiful direct line. The climbing is all pretty straight forward. The 5.10 variation on the second to last pitch is kinda stiff for .10a, but is really well protected on bolts. The last pitch is runout but easy. The direct start is not too bad, more of a high boulder problem than anything, although I had a friend who sprained his ankle on it once.
Getting There
Find the start to the route by approaching the Roof Routes area. You park at the lower parking lot, hike the trail around the West side of The Whale's Tail. Follow the trail across the concrete pad, take the switchbacks, take the left fork. Continue on the trail down and below the pretty, short wall with Pickpocket. Go left and up the Redgarden Trail. Follow the trail past the 2 railroad tie stepped sections, past the ladder. You continue on the trail until you get to the obvious huge chimney, West Chimney. Gear up around here below a beautiful, smooth face about 150 feet tall. Go down & R a very short distance. Pick an approach (about 20 feet) to the ledge where you start Yellow Spur. The direct start (below a pin) is left of the traditional start (at a shallow dihedral with an obvious traverse left).
Standard rack up to 3".
From the tree 20 feet below the summit, rap straight down to the gully on the east side. Alternatively, downclimb to the gully and walk down it. Either way, continue to down gully to the east and south, to the base of some trees that are at the end of Ruper.

Jurors in the Cleveland Strangler trial have decided not to pull an all-nighter.
The jury got the case just before 4 PM Tuesday and received instructions from the bailiff shortly after that they can "deliberate as long as they want."
After meeting for about three hours, they finished for the evening.
Anthony Sowell was convicted of murdering eleven women and burying their bodies in and around his Imperial Avenue home last month.
The same jury that convicted him is now deciding whether Sowell serves life in prison, or is put to death.
The jurors, who are sequestered until they reach a decision, will back at it first thing in the morning.
On Monday, in a last ditch effort to save his life, Anthony Sowell took the stand and apologized for his actions.

I am starting this petition in regards to the new ARDMS RECERTIFICATION ASSESSMENT PROGRAM which is to start in 2012. Many ultrasonographers have been in this profession for many years and feel that it is unfair to have to be subjected to these exams again. The unfortunate fact, is that many sonographers feel they are too old to have to re-study and this program will force people into early retirement. I feel that it would be more acceptable in the ultrasound community if there was a specific date, such as anyone who was registered before 7/1/2010 is grandfathered in and exempt from these requirements. Please join my crusade and help voice our opinion, if we stand together we will be strong. Fill out your name/ email/ registry number and what credentials you have so that ARDMS can see who we are. As one I am nothing, but if we all join together our voices will be heard.
Thanks for your support,
Leigh Madero, BS, RDMS, MHRM

Per usual he didn't put up spectacular numbers, going 9-for-18 passing for 143 yards and a touchdown, adding 67 yards rushing on 22 carries.
Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos silenced a few more critics with a win over the New York Jets in week 11, on prime time television. With the AFC West race tightly packed together, the stakes were a little higher in a division matchup against the San Diego Chargers for week 12.
Tebow did not throw a touchdown pass last week. He did score on the ground for the second week in a row, and he has done considerable damage to opposing defenses with his legs and the read option offense. Through eight games played prior to this week, Tebow had 709 passing yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. On the ground, Tebow has carried the ball 56 times for 388 yards and three touchdowns.

Product review: Adobe breathes fresh AIR into RIA
Adobe's rich Internet application toolkit lifts Flash and AJAX out of the browser and onto the desktop; debut release shines with light technical requirements and good features, though security and OS integration could go deeper
Adobe AIR 1.0 brings new hope to Web developers looking to combine the global connectedness of browser-based applications with the persistence and functionality of first-class, local desktop apps.
The results can be spectacular. AIR applications can take on either a custom or native appearance. In particular, data-driven dashboards really sing when freed from browser constraints, as Nasdaq's Market Replay application demonstrates.
[ See why Tom Yager is a big fan of AIR. And how InfoWorld used AIR technology in its Windows Sentinel service. See our special report on rich Web development tools including reviews of Microsoft Silverlight, Curl, WaveMaker Visual AJAX Studio, JackBe Presto, Nexaweb Enterprise, Backbase, Bindows, Tibco General Interface, and more open source AJAX toolkits than you can shake a div at. ]
The resulting application gains access to OS features such as dragging and dropping to and from the local file system, clipboard access for cutting and pasting between AIR and other applications, network connectivity, encrypted local storage, and perhaps most noteworthy, offline functionality. Thanks to AIR's persistent, local SQLite data store, AIR apps continue to function without a network connection.
Further, AIR doesn't require Web developers to learn anything new. They can easily create AIR apps using the tools and techniques they already know. And because AIR is cross-OS compatible, the same application code can be deployed to Windows, Mac, and eventually Linux systems. An alpha version of AIR for Linux is available at Adobe Labs.

What cows can teach us about political spending in Montana
Updated On: May 16 2013 10:50:53 PM MDT
If you drive from one end of Montana to the other, you'll likely see more cows than people.
Now imagine collecting $19.07 for every cow in the state. That would add up to more than $47.5 million -- roughly the amount spent on Montana's 2012 Senate race. The total smashed previous spending records, working out to $96.92 per 2012 Montana voter. Believe it or not, some experts think our 2014 election could be just as expensive.
"We might see the onslaught of TV ads yet again," Montana State University political expert David Parker said.
That is not welcome news for some voters.
"I think everybody realizes that there is too much money in big campaigns," local Rob Work said.
"I'm not quite sure where it all went," said another local.
In 2012 it paid for campaign staff, travel and millions of dollars in ads. We wanted to know where all that money could come from in 2014.
If popular former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer runs, he could prove a fundraising powerhouse. In fact, an online Schweitzer draft fund launched just minutes after Senator Max Baucus announced he's retiring. The fund's already raised more than $30,000. The money is Schweitzer's if he runs, and many speculate he likely will. But so far Schweitzer himself has been coy.
"I live at Georgetown Lake," the former governor told NBC Montana last month. "People can yip all they want, but the only yipping I hear is coyotes at night."
On the Republican side, former Congressman Denny Rehberg would likely attract national money as well. He raised $9.6 million in 2012. Current Congressman Steve Daines is also considering a run.
"I'll be spending time traveling around the state listening to what the people of Montana say on that. Ultimately I work for them. They're my boss."
Parker says Daines could be formidable as a Senate candidate. "I think because of his connections in the business world, he also would have a good fundraising base to tap into."
For a better idea of how spending in Montana's 2014 Senate race might unfold, Parker suggests looking at last year's North Dakota race -- one without an incumbent, after Democratic Senator Kent Conrad retired.
"Republicans need to get the seat to get the majority; Democrats need to retain it. That in and of itself is going to draw financial attention," Parker said.
That means money from national super PACs, $17 million in North Dakota last year.
Among the top 10 donors to the 2012 North Dakota campaigns, one finds big spenders from out of state -- law firms in South Caorlina, New York, New Jersey and California; political activists; unions and big business. The list is not unlike that of last year's Montana donors.
When the 2012 election ended many voters breathed a sigh of relief. But next time you take a drive through the state of Montana, think about that $19 per cow and what it means in campaign funds. Then remember that next year the dollars-per-cow could be just as high.

Analysis: Obama sends Romney a message: The game is on even if you aren't ready
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Reality smacked Mitt Romney in the face twice in a 24-hour span.
President Barack Obama used the power of the presidency to ring the general election's opening bell, declaring this week in no uncertain terms that he and his mammoth organization are ready to take on Romney -- whether the presumptive GOP nominee is ready or not.
And despite what he may say, Romney is not.
The former Massachusetts governor, who won three more primaries Tuesday and is on track to claim his party's presidential nomination in June if not before, is facing a challenge of historic proportions. Just one Republican -- Ronald Reagan -- has defeated a Democratic incumbent president in the last century. And Romney faces an incumbent with five times more staff, 10 times more money, and the world's greatest bully pulpit.
Using that platform Tuesday, the president criticized Romney by name, telling news executives at the annual meeting of The Associated Press that his likely general election opponent supported a "radical" Republican budget plan he characterized as "thinly veiled social Darwinism." He accused Republican leaders of becoming so extreme that even Reagan, one of the party's most cherished heroes, would not win a GOP primary today.
FACT CHECK: Obama accuses Republicans of moving right, ignores his own political drift
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Few would quarrel with President Barack Obama's point that the Republican Party has drifted to the right in recent years, disavowing ideas it once embraced -- even created. But making that case in a major campaign speech, Obama ignored realities in his own Democratic ranks.
For one, it was opposition from coal-state Democrats that sank cap-and-trade legislation to control greenhouse gas emissions, not just from those arch-conservative Republicans.
For another, if Republicans have moved to the right on health care, it's also true that Obama has moved to the left. He strenuously opposed a mandate forcing people to obtain health insurance until he won office and changed his mind.
Obama's speech to news executives Tuesday at the annual meeting of The Associated Press was perhaps his most aggressive dressing down of the Republicans yet this campaign season. Mitt Romney, his likely GOP rival for the presidency, speaks to news leaders Wednesday.
Several points in Obama's address gave an incomplete accounting to his audience. Here are some of his statements and how they compare with the facts:
Oakland mourns victims of deadly rampage at Christian college where suspect was expelled
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Civic and religious leaders pleaded for an end to violence in Oakland after seven people were gunned down at a small Christian college by a suspect who police say was angry about being expelled and teased for his poor English skills.
Several hundred friends, family and community members gathered for a multicultural prayer vigil Tuesday night to mourn the victims of the nation's biggest campus shooting since the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre.
Six students and a receptionist were killed and three others were wounded when the gunman went on a shooting rampage Monday morning at Oikos University, an Oakland school founded to help Korean immigrants adjust to life in America and launch new careers.
"Only God knows the meaning of the suffering we endure," Dr. Woo Nam Soo, the university's vice president, said in Korean during the church service. "In this unbearable tragedy and suffering, only God can create something good out of it."
Shortly after the deadly shooting spree, police arrested 43-year-old nursing student One Goh at a supermarket a few miles from campus.
Man found dead in burned home among 911 callers confused over Colo. wildfire
DENVER (AP) -- Sam Lucas was among the first to begin calling 911 about a wildfire burning near his home on the outskirts of Denver.
But the dispatcher, having already answered a handful of calls about the fire, cut Lucas off to tell him it was a controlled burn and that the forest service was on the scene.
"We got 79-mile-an-hour winds out there and they got a controlled burn?" Lucas said on the 911 call, one of 130 calls over a total of 10 hours that were released Tuesday.
When the dispatcher says yes, he replies "Oh wonder. Thank you."
Lucas hung up, and within an hour, he and his wife were dead.
Culture change? Medical groups identify 45 tests and treatments doctors should avoid ordering
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Old checklist for doctors: order that test, write that prescription. New checklist for doctors: first ask yourself if the patient really needs it.
Nine medical societies representing nearly 375,000 physicians are challenging the widely held perception that more health care is better, releasing lists Wednesday of tests and treatments their members should no longer automatically order.
The 45 items listed include most repeat colonoscopies within 10 years of a first such test, early imaging for most back pain, brain scans for patients who fainted but didn't have seizures, and antibiotics for mild- to-moderate sinus distress.
Also on the list: heart imaging stress tests for patients without coronary symptoms. And a particularly sobering recommendation calls for cancer doctors to stop treating tumors in end-stage patients who have not responded to multiple therapies and are ineligible for experimental treatments.
Dr. Christine Cassel, president of the American Board of Internal Medicine, said the goal is to reduce wasteful spending without harming patients. She suggested some may benefit by avoiding known risks associated with medical tests, such as exposure to radiation.
Power outages persist, shelters open around Dallas after burst of tornadoes upend North Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- The tornado hurtled toward the nursing home. Physical therapist Patti Gilroy said she saw the swirling mass barreling down through the back door, after herding patients into the hallway in the order trained: walkers, wheelchairs, then beds.
"It wasn't like a freight train like everybody says it is," said Gilroy, who rounded up dozens to safety at Green Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. "It sounded like a bomb hit. And we hit the floor, and everybody was praying. It was shocking."
A destructive reminder of a young tornado season Wednesday left thousands without power and hundreds of homes pummeled or worse Wednesday, after the National Weather Service said as many as a dozen twisters touched down in a wrecking-ball swath of violent weather that stretched across Dallas and Fort Worth. Despite the intensity of the slow-moving storms, as of late Tuesday no fatalities or serious injuries had been reported, though there were several less serious injuries.
The exact number of tornadoes Tuesday wasn't expected to be known until surveyors fanned across North Texas, looking for clues among the debris that blanketed yards and rooftops peeled off slats.
The Red Cross put a preliminary estimate of damaged homes at 650. In the southern Dallas suburb of Lancaster, where damage was especially widespread, around 150 people remained in a shelter Tuesday night.
Loud explosions, clashes break out in Syria as government says it has begun troop pullout
BEIRUT (AP) -- Loud explosions reverberated across the central Syrian city of Homs and clashes were reported in several areas across the country Wednesday, just hours after the government said it has started to withdraw troops from some cities in compliance with an international cease-fire plan.
Activists said a 50-year-old man and his younger brother were killed by soldiers who opened fire on their car from a machine gun mounted on a tank in the country's north.
A Syrian government official said Tuesday evening that troops had started pulling out from some calm cities and heading back to their bases, a week ahead of a deadline to implement U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan's truce plan.
"Forces began withdrawing to outside calm cities and are returning to their bases, while in tense areas, they are pulling out to the outskirts," the government official told The Associated Press in Damascus without saying when the withdrawal began. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
President Bashar Assad agreed just days ago to an April 10 deadline to implement Annan's plan. It requires regime forces to withdraw from towns and cities and observe a cease-fire. Rebel fighters are to immediately follow by ceasing violence.
Vietnamese rhino-horn obsession threatens world populations; prices reach $55K per kilogram
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- Nguyen Huong Giang loves to party but loathes hangovers, so she ends her whiskey benders by tossing back shots of rhino horn ground with water on a special ceramic plate.
Her father gave her the 4-inch (10-centimeter) brown horn as a gift, claiming it cures everything from headaches to cancer. Vietnam has become so obsessed with the fingernail-like substance it now sells for more than cocaine.
"I don't know how much it costs," said Giang, 24, after showing off the horn in her high-rise apartment overlooking the capital, Hanoi. "I only know it's expensive."
Experts say Vietnam's surging demand is threatening to wipe out the world's remaining rhinoceros populations, which recovered from the brink of extinction after the 1970s thanks to conservation campaigns. Illegal killings in Africa hit the highest recorded level in 2011 and are expected to worsen this year.
This week South Africa called for renewed cooperation with Vietnam after a "shocking number" of rhinos have already been reported dead this year.
Students pepper-sprayed while protesting pricey courses at college trustees meeting
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) -- Campus police pepper-sprayed as many as 30 demonstrators after Santa Monica College students angry over a plan to offer high-priced courses tried to push their way into a trustees meeting, authorities said.
Raw video posted on the Internet Tuesday evening showed students chanting "Let us in, let us in" and "No cuts, no fees, education should be free."
Students were angry because only a handful were allowed into the meeting, and when their request to move the meeting to a larger venue was denied, they began to enter the room, said David Steinman, an environmental advocate who is running for Congress as a Green Party candidate.
Two officers were apparently backed up against a wall, and began using force to keep the students out of the room. Steinman said both officers used pepper spray.
"People were gasping and choking," Steinman said.
Perfect! Griner and Baylor beat Notre Dame 80-61 for NCAA title and 40-0 season
DENVER (AP) -- Brittney Griner's place in women's basketball history is secure.
Blocking layups, snagging rebounds, hitting shots over two and three helpless defenders, she towered over the competition all season long to earn player of the year and outstanding player of the NCAA tournament honors.
She was simply dominant in adding national champion to her resume on Tuesday night.
Griner had 26 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks to lead Baylor to an 80-61 victory over Notre Dame in the NCAA women's basketball championship, capping an unparalleled 40-0 season for the Lady Bears.
"Brittney Griner, whether she won today or not, will go down in the history of the women's game as, if not the greatest post player, one of the greatest," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "I'm so glad she has that ring now."

Matriculation Services Unit
Assessment & Testing
PRACTICE for the English and math placement tests (Sample Questions):
For sample test questions visit the following website and click on desired test in bold: http://www.act.org/compass/sample/index.html
Math: Mathematics*
ENL: Writing Skills & Reading
ESL: Listening, Reading & Grammar/Usage
*Use of calculator is not allowed during placement test
Prior to registration, new matriculating students who have submitted an application to attend LAHC are required to make an appointment to take the "ACT-COMPASS" assessment test. Any returning or continuing matriculating student who has never taken an assessment test is also required to take one (unless previously waived). Admissions & Records Office may waive this requirement for students who have an Associate Degree or higher. Students who have been assessed in English and/or Math at another college, or who have taken English or Math coursework at another college may have already met Harbor's Assessment requirements. These students can bring a copy of their assessment results, transcripts and/or grade reports to a counselor. High school transcripts are not acceptable for Math courses. English as a second language assessment is also available.
The English/ESL and Math tests are computerized and are not timed. The average time per section is 32 minutes. Before the tests the student fills out demographics questions regarding personal information such as name, address, major, etc. This is the only time students have to type any information as the actual test is all multiple choice. The English test is composed of two sections Writing and Reading; the average time for the assessment is 1.5 hours. The ESL test is composed of three sections, Listening, Reading and Grammar/Usage; the average time for the assessment is 2 hours. The Math test takes an average time of half an hour. After taking a test students will go through an orientation which is followed by a quiz, which will take approximately half an hour. Students should never rush through these tests and should give themselves enough time in their schedules to complete them.
If eligible, students may test once per cycle. The cycles run from January to June and from July to December each year. Their assessment results will be valid for two years from the assessment date. Once a student enrolls in an English/ESL and/or Math class and receives a letter grade (or CR/NCR), the student is no longer eligible to re-test in that subject and must then follow the English/Math sequence (see pages 138 & 152 in the 2010-2012 LA Harbor College Catalog).
The (COMPASS) test is adaptive. Adaptive testing is a process where test items are dynamically selected from a collection of test items. These items are based on student's response to previous questions.
If a student is presented with a question and answers it incorrectly he/she will be presented with a less difficult question. Conversely, if a student answers a question correctly, he/she will continue to receive questions each with increasing difficulty.
