Bobby Ryan RW OTT 5 Months
Bobby Ryan is becoming more of a fantasy asset again, although not enough for the Ottawa Senators on Sunday, as they lost 3-1 to the Colorado Avalanche.
Ryan has three points (all assists) in his last five games. In those other two games, he collected 15 combined PIM, so he's been worth starting even when he failed to score. Ottawa needs even more from him, but that's a pleasant sign for fantasy owners.

Bobby Ryan was the only goal scorer for Ottawa in Thursday's 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Red Wings.
Ryan's goal was his 22nd of the campaign, but was far from enough for the struggling Senators. Marc Methot and Mika Zibanejad drew assists on the marker.

As expected, Bobby Ryan took part in Monday's practice and he said his nagging injury felt fine.
"I should be good to go from here on out," he said. Ryan, who was snubbed by Team USA's selection committee for the Winter Olympics, got engaged during the break. He admitted that he had some mixed emotions for the American squad during the Sochi Games, but in the end he did want to see them do better than they did with their fourth place finish.

Bobby Ryan is expected to skate on Monday.
He hasn't been practicing yet because of a minor injury and although the Senators are being cautious by resting him, they don't think the ailment will be an issue.

Bobby Ryan was held out of Ottawa's practice on Thursday with what is believed to be a minor injury.
The Senators skated outdoors for the session on softer-than-usual ice, so they didn't want to take any chances with their star winger. "We kept him off the ice (Thursday) because of where we were going," coach Paul MacLean said. "We're just guarded. We're just making sure. We don't anticipate there is any (problem) there, but we just want to make sure." Ryan should be fine for the Senators' first game back after the Olympic break, but if his status changes then we will let you know.

Bobby Ryan, who has registered only six points in the Senators' last 18 games, practiced on the team's third line Friday.
He was moved off the first unit alongside Kyle Turris and Clarke MacArtur and instead worked out with Cory Conacher and Mika Zibanejad on the third line. It remains to be seen if Ottawa coach Paul MacLean was just sending a message to Ryan during the scrimmage or if in fact the struggling winger will in fact lineup on the third unit Saturday afternoon against Boston. By the way, Erik Condra took Ryan's spot on the first unit.

Bobby Ryan scored a goal and dished out an assist for the Senators in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday night.
Ryan's stat production in this game was matched by his line mate Kyle Turris, who also picked up two points. Marc Methot, Erik Karlsson and Zack Smith were the other Ottawa goal scorers in the victory.

Bobby Ryan has recorded one goal in his last 12 games.
"No, I'm not getting enough chances," he said of his slump. "The pucks just aren't finding me in certain areas. I've always had a lull every year and it's always been around this time. I'm just a little far away from the puck. I've got to be a little more reactive towards the puck a little bit." Ryan said he needs to relax himself and not press to score because that's a recipe to invite more pressure. He still leads the Senators with 19 goals in 53 games and it probably won't be long before he gets going again.
Bobby Ryan RW OTT 7 Months
Bobby Ryan put an end to his season-long, six-game goal slump on Thursday night.
He netted his team-leading 19th marker of the year in a 5-4 overtime loss to Montreal. Ryan racked up six shots on goal in the match despite seeing just 15:21 of ice time.

If Bobby Ryan shot a little more, there is no tellling how many goals he could score.
With 116 shots, Ryan has 18 goals. He is on pace for 211 shots well below the 258 and 270 he took when he scored 35 and 34 goals in Anaheim. If Ryan upped his shot totals just a little bit, he could easily be a 40-goal scorer. "Mac [Senators' coach Paul MacLean] feels like I should have six to seven shots a game, and I've been coming in at one or two," said Ryan. "I understand that. I've got to fire the puck a little more." Look for Ryan to have a strong game against the Preds Saturday night as he may have something to prove to Nashville GM David Poile, who is also GM of the U.S. Olympic Team that snubbed Ryan earlier this week.

BC on the go
Aside from having one of the first Tivos off the assembly line, I am not an early technology adopter. I am just too damn cheap. So the only cellphone I have is one that comes with the free sign ups. I'll keep it until someone else offers me another free phone. Therefore, I don't have the latest in phone technology. But for those who do, loyal reader Bob V. sent along these instructions on how to listen to Saturday's game on your hand held wireless.
"If you have a Treo 600 or 650 or any other other Palm OS cell phone or device with wireless access, you can download an application called Pocket Tunes:
(15 day free trial if you decide to keep it, you need the 'deluxe' version for streaming which is $34)
Once it is on your phone, if you go to the website of WZBC Boston College Radio:
and select the 28k mono stream, it will play flawlessly.
I'll be at home with the laptop flipping back between WRKO and WZBC

At work, practice puts perfection in reachBy KATIE YEZZI
The New York Times | November 25,2012New York Times Photo
Katie Yezzi, the founding principal of Troy Prep Elementary School, is shown at the school in Troy, N.Y., last month. Yezzi has said that practice is one of the most powerful ways to improve performance in teachers and students.In 2011, I started a public charter elementary school as the principal. My organization, Uncommon Schools, manages charter schools for the bottom line, which in our case is student achievement. Some 92 percent of my schools students live below the poverty line, and the urgency of our facultys work is what motivates us to be great every day.
But the overwhelming need to be great can also swallow people up. If teachers are underperforming, or if student achievement appears to be plateauing, teachers can become paralyzed and fall prey to self-doubt or frustration.
We have found an antidote to this sense of defeat: practicing and preparing outside the classroom. Practice, I have found, is one of the most powerful ways to improve performance.
In March, as I was preparing to conduct midyear reviews with the teachers, my managing director, Doug Lemov, asked me if I wanted to practice any of them in advance. I immediately took him up on the opportunity to practice one review of a teacher who was struggling. I was dreading the review. I didnt want to be harsh, but I also didnt want to water down the message and give this teacher a false impression. I knew that I wasnt ready to have that conversation, so Doug and I practiced.
Doug demonstrated some language I could use, and I rephrased it and tried it out, and then went over and over the main pieces of the conversation. When it was time for the review, I felt confident and calm, and was able to be entirely present and to listen. I said everything that I needed to say, and found the balance between directness and compassion. Practice had helped to make something difficult much easier.
Feeling good about the situation, I jumped into a second review, with one of my stronger teachers. This review would be mainly positive, so I didnt think I needed to practice. I was surprised when the meeting, far from going as expected, involved lots of tears (hers) and awkwardness (mine) when I went over some areas where she could improve.
As I handed over the tissue box, I realized that I had imagined practice mainly as a tool for dealing with poor performance. But it can also be important for strong employees, who stand to give so much back. A well-conducted review, practiced in advance, has a better chance of making them feel happy and valued.
In other performance professions, like music or sports, the top performers always keep practicing alone and together. Its understood as crucial to staying at the top of their game. I had fallen into the trap of assuming that practice was a tool to avoid disasters, as opposed to a way to maximize positive outcomes. Now I see it as one of the only things that will keep helping me grow as a professional and add value to my organization. With our students, we never accept that some wont ever get it. We know that intelligence is not a fixed trait; with the right instruction, and lots of well-constructed practice, all of our students can achieve at high levels.
Interestingly, not all of our teachers initially apply this thinking to themselves. One came into my office the other day, saying she knew that her class wasnt going well and that she didnt think she could ever help her students improve. I rejected that idea and noted two small changes she could make. She still wasnt buying it. Then we practiced, with me demonstrating alternative teaching methods and her trying them out. Her whole outlook changed. She felt the difference.
Five minutes later, she was performing in front of her students, doing what we had just practiced. I could hear the difference. I checked in with her later, and she was beaming. She still had a long way to go, but she had already proved to herself that she could become better and that the improvement was under her control.
When I read reports of low teacher morale across the nation, I believe them, but I dont see much of that in our workplace. We all work hard in a very demanding environment, but our teachers love their jobs. The key to workplace satisfaction is doing a job well, and our most powerful tool for ensuring that is practice.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday forecast that the U.S. Full StorySALT LAKE CITY Federal officials have proposed a two-year ban on rope-swinging from iconic Utah...

ATLANTA (AP) - A judge in Atlanta has set bond at $100,000 for ex-WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist Chamique Holdsclaw.
Holdsclaw was in court Friday, hours after surrendering to face charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
She is accused of firing a shot into a car belonging to 29-year-old Jennifer Lacy, who plays for the Tulsa Shock. Police say the 35-year-old Holdsclaw also used a bat to smash the car's windows.
No one was injured. Lacy told police that Holdsclaw was an ex-girlfriend and they were Atlanta Dream teammates in 2009.
Holdsclaw was ordered to wear a monitoring device and have no contact with Lacy.
She was ordered back to court Nov. 30. A message to her attorney was not immediately returned.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — ConAgra Foods has broken ground on its new, expanded facility in Russellville.
As part of the expansion, originally announced in September 2012, ConAgra Foods anticipates an investment of $100 million in the new facility and expects to add more than 80 new jobs,naccording to a release from the Arkansas Economic Development Co9mmission.
The expansion in Russellville is a result of ConAgra Foods' 2012 acquisition of the Bertolli and P.F. Chang's Home Menu frozen meal business, which will be added to the facility's production lines.
The expected addition of 80 or more new jobs over the next two years will bring total employment to approximately 1,300 at ConAgra Foods' Russellville facility.
"ConAgra Foods has a long history in the community, and we are excited to grow our presence here," said Mike Tracy, senior vice president of Consumer Foods Supply Chain for ConAgra Foods. "Our talented, committed employees and the tremendous support we receive from the city of Russellville and State of Arkansas will help us make great food here well into the future."
ConAgra Foods' Russellville location, in operation since 1964, currently produces Banquet, Healthy Choice and Marie Callender's products.
"ConAgra Foods' significant investment in this expansion is a testament to the quality of the company's existing workforce in Russellville," said Grant Tennille, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. "Today's groundbreaking further establishes Arkansas's reputation as a hub in the food production sector."
"It is always gratifying when a company has the confidence in a community and the local workforce to make a significant investment," said Russellville Mayor Bill Eaton. "ConAgra Foods has expanded their Russellville manufacturing operations numerous times since the plant was originally built in 1964. This latest investment of over $100 million is just another example of the company's confidence in Russellville and the State of Arkansas. We are grateful that ConAgra Foods calls Russellville, Arkansas home."
"We are fortunate in Russellville and the Arkansas River Valley to have many manufacturers in the area," said Jeff Pipkin, president of the Arkansas Valley Alliance for Economic Development. "ConAgra Foods has been producing quality food products in Russellville since 1964 and continues to be one of the largest employers in the region. With this exciting expansion announcement today, we know the company will be a significant part of our local economy for years to come."

I have left this page up so that people can see what we were about. The business closed on the 1st April 2014 as I went off to pursue other things.
Some handy hints on the care of your garments.
Allow garments to air and dry before putting them away.
Allow mud to dry on skirts before gently brushing off with a soft bristled brush.
Store garments away from direct sunlight to protect from fading and in a dry place to prevent mould.
Check garments from time to time to ensure no mould or moths are present.
Use lavender bags or ceder wood to help prevent moths (Varous moth repellants can be purchased at Supermarkets and Iron Mongers etc)
Most of our garments are best stored flat rather than hung up so as to protect the shape and detailing.
If storing garments for a length of time you may wish to pack them with acid free tissue paper or as our forebears did wrapped in brown paper once all moth/mould and cleanliness issues have been checked.
Be very careful of delicate fabrics and details.
If at all unsure of the care of your garment please seek the advice of a professional garment cleaner.

Teens Who Stutter
Stuttering is not a mental disease, an indicator of mental disability or an indicator of low intelligence. Stuttering is misunderstood. Stuttering can be detrimental to self-esteem and confidence, but it is a condition that can be overcome and controlled.
The Stuttering Facts
According to the National Stuttering Association (NSA), stuttering is a communication disorder involving disruptions in the forward flow of speech. The word "stuttering" can be used to refer either to the specific speech disfluencies that are commonly seen in people who stutter or to the overall communication difficulty that people who stutter may experience. There are perhaps as many different patterns of stuttering as there are people who stutter, as well as many different degrees.
Where Does It Come From?
There is no single cause of stuttering, but current research is exploring the connections between stuttering and the neurological coordination of speech. "Developmental stuttering usually begins in early childhood, but can develop – and persist – into the preteen, teen and adult years," says Catherine Montgomery, executive director of the American Institute for Stuttering in New York, NY. "Stuttering tends to run in families and affects more men than women. Stuttering can be influenced by behavioral factors but is not caused by emotional problems, a nervous disorder and is not the fault of the family or the person who stutters."
The Stuttering Teen
Stuttering at any stage of life is difficult, but stuttering can be especially difficult in the teenage years. "When a teen practices avoidance, stuttering is more difficult to manage," says Montgomery. "Many teens are more reluctant to discuss their stuttering openly with peers and parents. A great way a teen becomes more comfortable with addressing their stutter is by meeting others who are going through the same experiences. Groups such as the NSA provide help and understanding and can enhance the success of individual therapy programs."
Montgomery explains that the disorder of stuttering takes on a life of its own during adolescence. "Teens not only have to deal with the obvious speech disruptions, but they also have to deal with the roller coaster of feelings that all teens can experience occurring concurrently with their stuttering problem," she says.
Being a Loner
Stuttering is a common disorder, but not so common that it is forefront in the news – or in the hallways. "Because stuttering affects only one percent of the population, it can be a lonely affliction," says Richard Merson, director of the stuttering program at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich. "Teens who stutter may never bump into another person who stutters in their high school, so it's natural for them to feel isolated and get a distorted view of the reasons for their stuttering."
"I've only met two people with speech impediments in my life prior to joining the NSA, though only one of those really stuttered," says Andrew, a teen from Issaquah, Washington. "It was amazing that when I commented to someone that I stuttered, they gave a puzzled look and apparently didn't realize that I stuttered. It's so great when someone can be so used to you that they don't notice stuff like that."
Keep it Friendly
"With a little help from my friends" has never been truer than when discussing the best methods to help teens overcome the effects of stuttering. "As far as siblings and friends of teens who stutter, it is important that the teen express [him or herself] directly in order to remove any and all uncomfortable feelings," says Montgomery. "A teen should take the time to simply say, 'Hey, I have a stuttering problem. Please take the time to listen to what I am trying to say rather than listening to my stutter.' This is one of the first things we do in class – learn how to 'self advertise.' It is a wonderful way to get those who aren't comfortable talking one-on-one to learn to be more assertive."
"I've been able to survive the last five years through steady support from friends," says Andrew. "Sometimes just being able to talk to someone directly is great for letting out things that were bottled up, while just spending time with friends. And having mindless fun is best, as you feel comfortable and relaxed. But the biggest support has come from having a one-on-one relationship with someone, and they make you feel welcome to talk about anything or nothing at all. Friends are amazingly helpful."
You're Not Alone
To help teenagers recognize they aren't alone and to help them share their experiences and learn from others, Merson has formed TWIST or Teens Who Stutter Network. The support group helps teens who are already in speech therapy continue working in a non-clinical setting. "It's wonderful to watch the kids tell their stories about frustrating moments and difficult times and admit that they felt like crying," says Merson. "It offers them a catharsis, a way to ventilate their feelings. When you release energy like that, you can evaluate the experience and be ready when the same event happens again and hopefully, do a better job. Once they can buddy up on a problem, they can do very well. The group keeps them thinking, working and sharing. When they get with other kids who stutter, it's quite freeing."
"Stuttering has always been the axis of my life," says Andrew. "Without it I have no clue what I would be like. It made me hard and withdrawn at first, but recently I have overcome that more and am beginning to go out and just be me! I love the thrill of talking to someone because it's yet another victory for me. I can overcome this thing, and accepting it is my ongoing goal."
The National Stuttering Association
The National Stuttering Association (NSA) says since 1977, it has helped thousands achieve career advancements, improved confidence levels, improved speech fluency, an enhanced social life, better family relationships, leadership roles and much more.
The NSA offers a toll-free hotline, a list of publications that can help both a teen who stutters and his parents, local chapters and information on starting a local chapter in your area, informative workshops, as well as many other useful tools. In addition, the NSA publishes a monthly newsletter called Letting Go, which offers up-to-date information, research, statistics, as well as tips and support for those who stutter and their families.
More information on the NSA and all it offers is available at www.nsastutter.org.

How our planet search works.
Every planets exert a small gravitational pull on its parent star, causing the star to wobble. In particular, its velocity will be continually varying as it repeatedly moves away from, and then back towards, the Earth. Such velocity changes can be detected via the Doppler Effect.
When the unseen planet is moving away from the Earth, the star will move towards the Earth. The light emitted by a star when it is doing this is Doppler shifted to shorter (bluer) wavelengths. The reverse happens when the unseen planet is moving toward the Earth - the star moves away, and the light it emits is shifted to longer (redder) wavelengths.
The velocity changes revealed by this Doppler wobble depend on the distance at which the planet orbits, the mass of the planet, and how circular its orbit is. For typical gas-giant planets the Doppler velocity variations are in the range 1 to 100 m/s. Because of the small velocities involved, the effect is subtle - it doesn't effect the
apparent colour of the star, for example. But it can be detected by very high precision astronomical instruments like the UCLES spectrograph on the AAT.
So stars with planets can be identified via the observation of periodic Doppler shifts in their light. After one or two orbital periods the information from the Doppler measurements allows us to calculate the orbit and mass of the unseen planet. Our current measurement precision is 1 meter per second (a slow walk). For comparison, Jupiter causes the Sun to wobble with a velocity of 12.5 meters per second over a 12 year period. Saturn induces a 2.7 meter per second wobble on the Sun with a 30 year period.
The AAPS Project
AAPS has been operating since January 1998, and is expected to run until at least 2010, at which point we will have observed for long enough to detect Jupiter-like planets in Jupiter-like orbits around other stars. We are currently monitoring around 240 of the nearest and brightest Sun-like stars visible from the AAT's Southern Hemisphere location on 32 nights per year. (In addition we are also carrying out intensive campaign-mode observations on 48 nights per year, of smaller sets of the most stable stars in our main sample, in an effort to find small planets of masses down to a few times the mass of the Earth).
We perform these observations using the University College London Echelle Spectrograph (UCLES). UCLES enables us to observe almost the entire visible spectrum in a single observation. Doppler shifts in the stellar spectra are measured with reference to a precision calibrated iodine vapour absorption cell (like that shown above). The absorption that produces the faint purple colour of the iodine gas in this cell, imprints a dense network of narrow lines on our spectra, telling us everything we need to know about UCLES's performance.
The only example of a star with planets that know in much detail is our own Solar System. Ultimately we need to know what fraction of Sun-like stars have Jupiter- and Saturn-mass planets in Jupiter- and Saturn-like orbits. In other words, what fraction of extra-solar planetary systems are similar to our own?

NASA ADS Abstract and Links for published paper
August 2006 - AAPS publishes an exoplanetary system in a 2:1 resonance.
ApJ paper
on the HD73526 resonant system.
June 2006 - AAPS publishes two new high eccentricity planets.
MNRAS paper
on HD187085 and HD20782 systems
15 Sep 2004 - AAPS announces five new extra-solar planets!
The five new planets include the first multiple planet systems detected by the AAPS, and three low-mass (ie Saturnian- or sub-Saturnian-mass planets).
The multiple planet systems include two planets detected around the star mu Ara (in the constellation of Ara "The Altar"). The inner planet has an orbital period of 645 days and a minimum mass of 1.7 Jupiter masses. The outer planet has an orbital period of 8.2 years and a minimum mass of 3.1 Jupiter masses. Both planets have quite eccentric (ie non-circular) orbits. These two planets were recently "joined" by a third inner (but very much smaller) planet in a 9 day orbit announced by Santos et al.
The three low-mass planets have all been detected with orbital periods of between 26 and 129 days, and minimum masses of between 0.16 and 0.4 times that of Jupiter. These low-mass planets are exciting to the Anglo-Australian Planet Search team because they all have small velocity amplitudes - that is the represent the detection of quite small "wobbles" in the parent stars due to these planets. Indeed at just 12 to 18m/s these results obtained from data streams stretching back to 1998, represent exactly the levels of precision that our search needs to attain to detect Solar Systems like our own around other stars via the orbital motion of a Jupiter-like planet in a Jupiter-like 12 year orbit. They give us confidence that in the next 6 years, if there are any "Solar System-like" systems amongst our 240 targets stars, we will find them.

The Anglo-Australian Planet Search (AAPS) is a long-term program being carried out on the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) to search for giant planets around more than 240 nearby Solar-type stars with V<8. We use the "Doppler wobble" technique to search for these otherwise invisible extra-solar planets, and achieve the highest long-term precision demonstrated by any Southern Hemisphere planet search.

Dear Mr. Luftman,
The end of this great Portland Trail Blazer season brings a time of reflection. The first thing that comes to mind is the wonderful experience of watching the Trail Blazer games. You have been a wonderful conduit to this experience.
Your Pre-Game introductions have set the tone for my viewing experience. Your recaps of the previous games bring me up to date, adding to the excitement of what is to come. This tantalizes me and makes it so hard to wait for the game to begin.
I iniquitously await the Half time break. I am in anticipation of your understanding of what has taken place before my eyes. Your wise understanding and explanations of what I have seen, lead me to a better understanding of this great game of Professional Basketball.
My enjoyment is enhanced and better understood with your expert guidance. I always look forward to your Post-Game recaps, finding this the most rewarding experience of the night.
I am looking forward again, to next year. I hope that CSN will be available to me on the Oregon coast. I have only been able to indulge in this enhanced experience during the few KGW broadcasts in my area. Eagerly awaiting the 2008 – 2009 season with you.
Elizabeth Lowblow, Your friend on the Bay
A debt owed. I'm drunk nuff to write. This must satisfy Timbo. I dun wanna drink no mo' PERIOD

Sangeeta reports on the baby, born on a train
An expectant mother caused an unusual delay to a busy commuter train in Kent last night. Sangeeta reports.
An expectant mother caused an unusual delay to a busy commuter train in Kent last night. Sangeeta reports.
The father of a baby girl born on a train packed full of commuters during rush hour in Kent has said: "It feels like I'm on cloud nine."
Allan Stanley, 21, was travelling back to his mother's home with her and his partner Sonia Banks, 22, when the contractions started.
Moments later, on Thursday night's 18:18 London to Kent train, Miss Banks gave birth to a "perfectly healthy" 6lb 13oz baby called Phoebe.
The first picture of Phoebe who was born on a packed commuter train in Kent last night.
A woman has given birth to a baby girl on a packed Kent commuter train.
Sonia Banks, 22, was on the 18:18 London Victoria to Maidstone East when the contractions began.
The Southeastern train driver put out a plea for help and luckily a midwife, nurse and off-duty police officer were fellow travellers and helped with the delivery.
Baby Phoebe was a fighting-fit 6ib 13oz and mum and daughter are doing well in hospital.
We speak to passenger Sophia Looney who was on the train and commuters at West Malling, the station where the ambulance picked up Sonia and Phoebe.
Baby Phoebe was born yesterday evening on a Southeastern London Victoria to Ashford International service.Read the full story
A woman has given birth in Kent - while she was travelling on a train from London.Read the full story
The baby girl born on a Kent commuter train last night is the second to enter the world on a Southeastern service, says company spokeswoman Sarah Boundy, "We're delighted mother and daughter are doing fine and we will send them flowers as soon as possible."
In 2001 Hayley Sheen from Chatham, who was seven months pregnant, unexpectedly went into labour on a train. Just minutes later little Chelsea was born on the Hastings line between Appledore and Ashford. She was two months premature and weighed just 3lbs 5oz.
– Phoebe's Grandmother
Mother and baby are both doing well. Phoebe is a healthy baby weighing 6lbs 13oz. She was a week early.
Rail managers at Southeastern tonight thanked staff and passengers for helping with the delivery of a baby on commuter train at West Malling in Kent.
The guard on the train made an emergency announcement appealing for any doctor or nurse when he faced a passenger on the brink of giving birth.
The Incident occurred at 7.30pm and delayed thousands of commuters on the line to Maidstone East.
In what must be one of the most unusual excuses for a train delay a fellow passenger is understood to have helped with the delivery.
An ambulance was called and mother and baby were taken to hospital.
Both are said to be doing fine and the baby has been named Phoebe, according to a spoken for the train company. Delays of around an hour were caused by the incident.
Services are now back to normal.
Named Annie or Clarabel? RT @nationalrailenq: #WestMalling ~ A passenger has given birth to a baby girl. Congratulations to mother and baby!

text: How to complete four Mario games simultaneously Gaming 06 April 11 by Chris Kohler Tweet TAS Super Mario Bros. 1 2 2J 3 Quad run in 10:39.75f agwawa Can you conquer every Super Mario game on the NES? Great. Now do it all at the same time.YouTube user agwawaf posted a video on Monday showing him completing the first four Mario games using a single controller input. That's right: One controller, four emulators, four games running at the same time.The trick is that this is a tool-assisted speed run. By using emulators, save states and running the games at a very slow pace, he was able to individually tweak and nudge each movement of the four Marios so that they would stay a hair's breadth from danger. It's still a remarkably impressive achievement when you consider the painstaking care that such a meticulous feat requires.As with most tool-assisted gameplay videos, everything you see here is theoretically possible to do in real time, but so unbelievably difficult that the chances of a human being doing this are just about zero.If you don't feel like watching the whole 13-minute clip, at least scrub to around the 10-minute mark, at which point agwawaf defeats three of the game's final bosses simultaneously.

Universal's website frequently offers vacation packages including hotel accommodations and theme park tickets. You've got to do the math, though, because sometimes it's difficult to see how buying the package can save money over buying each component separately.
Here's an example. A Harry Potter Vacation Package deal in late 2012 offered a family of four - 2 adults and 2 kids under age 10 – these components:
- 4 nights at Universal's Royal Pacific hotel
- 3 days of park admission (base tickets – one park per day)
- Breakfast at the Three Broomsticks (one per person)
- Early park admission to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter before the the general public
- Access to live entertainment at Universal CityWalk (a CityWalk Party Pass)
The package costs $1,709, including tax, for most of early 2013. There were significant restrictions, including blackout dates around spring break, Easter and Memorial Day (but not Presidents Day), and the stay had to happen on a Sunday through Thursday to qualify for that low rate – weekend nights were more expensive.
Here's the first thing to recognize: the last two items – early admission to The Wizarding World and access to live entertainment at CityWalk – are automatically given to everyone who stays at a Universal resort and buys a multi-day park ticket. Those are already included in the package, so they don't have any value by themselves.
There are only three components to price: the hotel, tickets and breakfast at Three Broomsticks. We checked Universal's website for the cost of these components using various dates in early 2013, and ensured those dates would also qualify for the package above. Here's a typical cost per component:
- $914.40 for 4 nights at Royal Pacific Hotel, including tax
- $543.80 for the same 3 day tickets from UndercoverTourist.com
- $57.47 for Breakfast at Three Broomsticks, including tax
The total cost if you bought each component separately is $1,515.67, a savings of almost $200 off the online package. That being said, it's very difficult to reserve breakfast at Three Broomsticks unless you've bought a vacation package. Universal's price for the breakfast, however, is $15 per adult and $12 per child, so it's easy enough to figure out what it costs. And you can always have lunch at Three Broomsticks too, with the money you'll save by buying each item separately.

News: Ice-T's Son Goes Off On Los Angeles Police: "Go F*ck Yourself Officer"
Thursday, Oct 11, 2012 12:47PM
Hollywood star Ice-T's son has lashed back at Los Angeles police after getting arrested yesterday (October 10) on a $10,000 warrant.
20 year-old Tracy Marrow Jr. hopped on his Twitter page and proceeded to air out local authorities.
"Just Bailed Out of Jail lmao #ThezN*ggasWontHoldMeBack 10k Bail go f*ck yourself officer wait for my complaint u need anger," he tweeted October 10th.
"#ThezN*ggasWontHoldMeBack lol F*ck dirty cops good thing I can Bail out lol time to File a Complaint on the http://instagr.am/p/Qn1op9k232/"
"Lol shhh ill see u in Miami on Saturday #Thezn*ggaswontholdmeback RT @0tmarie: @ICE_Marrow why you stay in trouble son!" (Ice-T's Twitter)
According to reports, Tracy got busted in Los Angeles yesterday.
The law finally caught up with Ice-T 's son. Tracy Marrow Jr. was arrested early Wednesday morning in Los Angeles on an outstanding $10,000 warrant stemming from a previous speeding incident, E! News has confirmed. Per local police, the warrant was discovered after the 20-year-old was pulled over for supposedly blasting music from his vehicle. After officers asked Marrow to turn down the music, he reportedly made some comments to them and turned his music right back up. Officers then detained him, which was when information about the outstanding warrant surfaced. Law-enforcement sources confirm that his previous bust was a traffic incident involving vehicle speed. He was later arrested and booked. (E! Online)
Tracy's father is most known for getting at cops in the early 1990's and later takng on the role of a cop on television.
His dad Ice-T came to national fame in 1992, with the anti-police brutality anthem "Cop Killer." The "Special Victims" star also had a recent vehicular run-in with cops. He was busted in 2009 for allegedly driving with a suspended licensed and no seat belts. But it turned out Ice-T's license had never been suspended, and prosecutors blamed the incident on a DMV clerical error. The case was dismissed. (New York Post)
