Decatur – The Red Cross is helping a family who is out of their home today, because of a fire Sunday.
Firefighters say the fire started in the basement of a house on North Union Street, and then spread to the first floor. Investigators say it was likely caused by an electrical failure, or the furnace in the basement.
Three adults and three kids are receiving help from the Red Cross, including food, clothing, and a place to stay for few nights.

Washington State wraps up its 2010 college football season this weekend against rival Washington in the Apple Cup. It doesn't get any bigger for Coug fans, or for Husky fans for that matter.
The Cougars are coming off a 31-14 win at Oregon State and are trying to put together their first win streak since 2007. A win against Washington would be a nice way to win two in a row and close out the season.
"It'd be huge momentum going into the offseason - an away Pac-10 win and then a home Pac-10 win as well," said quarterback Jeff Tuel at practice on Tuesday. "It's just huge for our team for our workouts and our offseason."
"It'd be huge," agreed receiver Jared Karstetter. "It's something that we haven't done here yet and to come off a big one just a couple of weeks ago, and the momentum I think we'd carry into the offseason will be big."
Meanwhile, some media outlets continue to speculate as to what will happen with head coach Paul Wulff after the season is finished. Some say he'll be fired. Others predict he'll stay. The only thing for sure is Athletic Director Bill Moos has kept his silence on the matter.
The News Tribune of Tacoma said Tuesday that former Oregon Ducks coach Mike Bellotti "hinted Monday that he might be interested in the Washington State job". Moos was the A.D. at Oregon when Bellotti coached in Eugene, and the two remain close friends.

At a special board meeting Friday morning, the Bay Health Foundation voted to accept a final settlement of all claims against BP.
Six voting members voted unanimously to accept the $3.87 million settlement. The offer was made Thursday afternoon by BP. Lawyers advised board members that now was the time to act since the statute of limitation was about to expire.
Vice-chairman Dr. Jim Cook says this final settlement is fair and reasonable and a win-win for Bay County. "I think it's wonderful for the bay health foundation. It's going to help us with our mission. It's going to help us continue our pension and the other responsibilities of the transaction and also our activities in the healthcare arena."
Bay Medical Center was the first healthcare claim settled since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The hospital netted $1.1 million for their losses in ER visits.

Fawley refinery work caused Southampton man's death from asbestos
1:20pm Thursday 28th March 2013 in News
PROLONGED exposure to asbestos caused the death of a Southampton pensioner, a court heard.
Elmo Dougherty, 73, came into contact with the deadly substance while working at Fawley Oil Refinery for 25 years.
Southampton Coroner's Court heard how Mr Dougherty, of Coxes Drive, Sholing, worked alongside welders and pipefitters after joining the factory in 1977.
Coroner Keith Wiseman said this had led to "significant exposure" to asbestos on an almost daily basis over the years.
This led to the development of fibrosis and bronchial pneumonia, which ultimately killed Mr Dougherty on December 4, 2012.
Mr Wiseman recorded a verdict of death by industrial illness.

A father of the bride wedding speech is a big deal. Your daughter is going to remember your speech forever and you want it to be memorable for her. Also remember that the speech you make on your daughter's wedding day will act as a measure to gauge your relationship with her.
If you don't have any idea about composing and delivering that speech, much less about making it memorable, you have come to the right place for help. Always remember that you are not the lone person in the world who is afraid of speeches. It is a statistically proven fact that most people dread giving any kind of speech. There is absolutely no need for you to refer to resort to any long and difficult methods to deliver a father of the bride speech. If you keep your speech heartfelt and loving it will always be remembered.
First of all get a time limit on your speech. Most father of the bride speeches are five to seven minutes long, so prepare for your speech accordingly. Keep it short and original.
The next essential thing for you to remember is to keep your body language in check. Remember that an audience does not like to watch someone who is making a fool of himself by slouching.
Welcoming all the guests to the wedding should be the starting point of your speech. Thank everyone who made it to the wedding. Thank all the people who have put in their hard work to make the wedding a success. The maid of honor, the best man, the father and mother of the groom, thank everyone.
Talk about your daughter, praise her, compliment her and let her know how much she means to you. Talk about her husband as well, let him know you approve of him and love him as well.
Talk about any incident or memory with your daughter that is your favorite. It can be anything funny, emotional or just a passing thing which has made a mark on both your lives.
Lastly give your daughter and her husband some good advice and wish them all the luck in the world.

A fire at a printing press started shortly before 12:20 p.m. today in East Setauket and hospitalized three workers with burn injuries, according to Setauket Fire Department Chief Brendan Brown.
A small fire, Brown said, originated underneath a printing machine and took roughly two minutes to extinguish at Printing Spectrum, located at 12 Research Way.
Fire departments responding to the call included Terryville, Stony Brook, and Centereach, while Port Jefferson Volunteer Ambulance was requested for an ambulance on stand-by.
"A printing press sparked up and went on fire," said Jim Altebrando, who was working inside the building when the fire started. Altebrando said there didn't appear to be any visible damage.
Fire officials say the cause of the fire is unknown at this time and is under investigation by the Suffolk County Police Arson Squad.

Asian honey bees, Java strain, were first detected in Cairns in 2007. They are an adaptable bee species found throughout Asia and some islands of the Asia Pacific. This is a tropical strain and most likely came in via ship from Papua New Guinea or Indonesian Papua. They are established in far north Queensland and cannot be eradicated. Tools and resources have been developed to help the community and pest control industry with managing this pest bee.
Asian honey bees do not appear to be any more aggressive than other species but will still sting if confronted. They are a natural host for varroa mites which, if introduced, would pose a serious threat to the honey bee industry and crops that are dependant on European honey bees for pollination.
Be on the look out for suspect bees and check your vessel/vehicle and trailer before travelling long distances.
Identifying Asian honey bees
Asian honey bees can be easily confused with common European honey bees. However, there are some distinguishing features to aid in identification

The Professor of Truth
Posted on Dec 20, 2013
"The Professor of Truth"
"The Professor of Truth," a novel by James Robertson, is set 21 years after a plane carrying English lecturer Alan Tealing's wife and daughter exploded over Scotland, killing them and everyone else on board. Tealing's grief manifests in his obsessive efforts to prove that the man convicted of the crime was not actually the man responsible. Tealing's inability to move past the tragedy, as friends and family have long urged him to do, has left him isolated and emotionally crippled. And then, one snowy night, Nilsen, a retired American intelligence officer, arrives at Tealing's door, claiming to have new information about a man named Parroulet, a key witness at the trial—information that will confirm Tealing's belief that an innocent man was convicted, and Tealing cannot help but follow the clues leading, he hopes, to the truth at last.
The novel is written in two parts: "Ice" and "Fire." One cannot help but think of Robert Frost's two ways the world might end.
In the first part, "Ice," Tealing is frozen in a glacier of grief. Rarely have I read prose more evocative than this passage, for example, when Tealing visits the crash site shortly after the event:
There is a great deal of wonderful prose in this novel, and stunning imagery, particularly in the first section, which is more contemplative, more elegiac than the second. I found myself reading passages aloud, they were so well crafted.
The second part of the novel, "Fire," begins when Tealing heads to Australia in search of the trial's key witness, Martin Parroulet, whose address Nilsen has provided. Here, he confronts the "fire," both actual and metaphorical, in a conflagration that leads to a phoenix-like rising from the ashes. The tone here is far more that of a thriller than the first section, and it doesn't hold up quite so well. In the first section Robertson's strengths are in excavating the human psyche, but the plot in the second half of the novel seems contrived and designed to persuade.
And here we confront the challenge the reviewer faces: Does one review this book as a call for justice, a commentary on the historical events that inform it, or does one allow it to stand as a work of fiction, illumined by its inspiration, but not restricted by it? Since the job of the reviewer is, I believe, to discern the author's intention for the work and to determine if and how that intention has been met, and if not, why not, I am forced here to do a little excavation of my own, and to turn away from purely literary concerns into political ones.
"The Professor of Truth" is undeniably inspired by the bombing of Pan Am flight 103—the Lockerbie bombing—on Dec. 21, 1988, which cannot help but stir controversy, given the scope of the horror and the convoluted, confusing, drawn-out legal machinations surrounding the case. After much wrangling with then-Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi, former Libyan intelligence agent Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was eventually convicted of mass murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 27 years, but was freed in 2009 as part of a prisoner transfer agreement between Britain and Libya.
The character of Alan Tealing is clearly based on Dr. Jim Swire, who lost his daughter in the bombing, and his unceasing efforts to prove al-Megrahi innocent. (He maintains the website Lockerbietruth.com.) Parroulet, the Maltese taxi driver and witness Tealing tracks down in Australia, is modeled after Tony Gauci, a Maltese shop owner and the only trial witness to connect al-Megrahi to the bomb. Robertson makes no quibble with this, and has appeared publically with Swire to discuss the tragedy. And so, clearly Robertson intends for the book to illuminate the Lockerbie bombing legal case, and to do so in sympathy with Swire's position.

Africare began operations in Nigeria in 1978.
Since that time, Africare/Nigeria has invested approximately $28,000,000 through projects addressing…
• Agriculture & Food Security
• Health, HIV & AIDS
• Family Planning
• Malaria Control
• Maternal and Child Health
• Nutrition
• Orphans and Vulnerable Children
• River Blindness
• Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
• Women's Empowerment
Success in Nigeria
Implemented in Lagos in 2009, Africare's Kick AIDS project employed the popularity and practical learning aspects of soccer to empower, educate and mobilize youth. Using drills, games and discussions, youth are taught life skills and HIV prevention in an environment where they feel comfortable exploring serious, sensitive issues. The youth remain community role models and sources of sexually transmitted infection prevention information. The model has been adopted by other non-governmental organizations.
The Japan Social Development Fund recognized Africare's Women's Initiative for Sex Education (WISE) for its innovative approach to reducing the incidence of HIV in young women.
Africare's ongoing CUBS project contains a research component to explore the impact of reproductive health education and economic strengthening on reducing vulnerability among adolescent females. No similar study has been conducted in the context of HIV prevention programs, and the results could pave the way for future programming models.

A SCHOOL in Figheldean is urging other schools and community groups across Wiltshire to register now for the UK's giant safe walking event, and champion safer streets for families.
The Giant Walking Bus, coordinated by Brake, the road safety charity, is on June 11 and will involve thousands of youngsters across the country saying yes to healthy walking and no to people driving fast in their community.
St Michael's Primary School in Figheldean has been recognised by Brake as one of the star schools of last year's event for their efforts in promoting road safety and they have already signed up to take part again this year.
Last year St Michael's used the Giant Walking Bus as a focal point for their campaign to introduce 20mph limits throughout the village.
They made their own 20mph posters, which were attached to the school fences, and raised funds by organising a Bright Day.
Daphne Winter, school governor at St Michael's said: "The Giant Walking Bus is a fantastic event. It provides an opportunity for the children to get involved in learning about safe walking, the dangers of traffic and why it's important for drivers to slow down around schools."
Julie Townsend, Brake deputy chief executive, said: "The Giant Walking Bus is a great way for schools to promote children's right to be able to walk without fear or threat from traffic. Many schools will have concerns about children's safety in their area."
Schools can register at walkingbus.org or by calling 01484 550061. The scheme is supported by webuyanycar.com.

Khiladi 786 |2012| :Full Video Songs HD 720P Download Links
Khiladi 786 is an upcoming Action masala film directed by Ashish R Mohan. Featuring Akshay Kumar & Asin in the title role; Mithun Chakraborty, Paresh Rawal andHimesh Reshammiya will also appear in pivotal roles. It will be produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures, HR Musik Limited and Hari Om Entertainment. The film marks the return of Akshay Kumar to his famous Khiladi film series after 12 years[1] since he acted in Khiladi 420. The music rights are sold to HR Musik, and movie is scheduled to release on 7th December 2012. This will be the second film in which Akshay Kumar would be paired opposite Asin after Housefull 2. Akshay Kumar will be matching steps with Polish-German model Claudia Ciesla in "Balma" item song. The first teaser of movie was released online on 4th October. It got 1.5 million views in 5 days and some industry watchers predict this film to be the biggest box office opener of Akshay Kumar's career [2] . The Next trailer of Khiladi 786 will be attached with Son of Sardaar on this Diwali.
Akshay kumar is in the lead (title) role of Khiladi 786 (Bahattar). Himesh Reshammiya is playing the role of a Gujrati Guy Mansukh in this movie, and Paresh Rawal is playing the role of Mansukh's father Champaklal. Earlier, Ileana D'Cruz was reported to have signed the film. Later, this was proven false after actress Nargis Fakhriwas signed for the film.[6] Although, soon after the signing, Fakhri was dropped from the project as Amitabh Bachchan was earlier to be playing her older brother in the film, but due to Bachchan being replaced by Mithun Chakraborty, the producers of the film felt she wouldn't fit the role of Chakraborty's sister.[7][8] It was later reported that either actress Ileana D'Cruz would rejoin the project, or Diana Penty will be replacing Fakhri in the project.[9] In June 2012, Asin was signed to play the leading lady of the film, putting all rumours to a stop.[10]
The shooting of the movie commenced from June 2, 2012 for a 20 day schedule in Kamalistan Studios.[10] During the first schedule of Khiladi 786, Akshay performed a dangerous stunt where he jumped from a balcony of a bungalow of about 45 feet without any cables, wires or body- doubles. The only thing to soften his jump were some mattresses and card-boxes. The action sequences of the film have been provided by Jal Singh Nijjar. Ashis R Mohan was the assistant director of Rohit Shetty before.

Winnie Ruth Judd: 'The Trunk Murderess' In Perspective
Winnie Ruth Judd
Winnie, who most people called Ruthie or Ruth, was the daughter of Reverend and Mrs. McKinnell from Darlington, Indiana, plunked deep within the rural Methodist wheatbelt. She was 26 years old in 1931, seven years married to a doctor whose practice had waned with his drug habit. It wasn't Dr. William C. Judd's fault, Winnie would protest, defending him, for he had become addicted through morphine he received to treat a wound during the world war of 1918.
Nevertheless, their marriage had been a disappointment. She needed a break.
Life with Dr. Judd, her senior by 22 years, had never delivered its early expectations. At the time she met him, he practiced at a psychiatric hospital where she typed and filed; he was smitten with the cute, fragile, hundred-pound dishwater blonde who, in return, was overcome with his brainpower. While dating, he spoke of adventure, of how he would love to travel the world, practicing his profession, she at his side. After they married in April, 1924, they wound up in northern Mexico where her dreams of having a baby broke the monotony. Twice she became joyously pregnant, twice she miscarried. Her frail, weakened form soon contracted a slight form of tuberculosis. Her husband placed her in a sanatorium in California.
After this first attempt to recover her health, she tried several times to rejoin her husband in Mexico, following him from one indigent town to another. Tending to Mexico's poor spoke well of his principles, but this practice did not support a young wife who was neither accustomed to living in poverty nor, more practically, was she physically strong enough to endure these conditions because of health problems. In 1930, she traveled back to the U.S. He remained in Mexico. Their communication was constant, but Ruth found she required more than Xs on a letter.
In 1930, she moved to Phoenix, Arizona, known for its tubercular relief.
She cut her long hair and sported the fashionable "bob" cut of the day.
And she fell in love with smiling, debonair, bedroom-eyed and saucy Jack Halloran.
Her first job was as governess to the wealthy Leigh Ford family, a position she loved. Halloran, the Ford's next-door neighbor, proved to be a side benefit. Their over-the-fence chats developed into much more and every chance they had she would steal from the Ford homestead, and he from his wife and three children, for a rendezvous under the desert skies of Phoenix.
"Halloran was 44 years old and one of the town's success stories," reads Jana Bommersbach's heavily researched The Trunk Murderess. "When anyone in Phoenix named the movers and shakers, Jack Halloran's name was on the list... If you wanted a political favor, Jack Halloran knew who to ask. People remember him as a take-charge kind of guy whose laugh could fill a room."
He probably emanated a charm that the complacent William Judd never could, and exploded sexuality totally foreign to the good doctor.
Phoenix in the early Thirties, despite its jabs at modernity and a large population of good people just trying to live and let live, was in many ways still a Wild West personality, full of modern-day desperadoes. It uniquely bore the raw and rough- and-tumble-ahead, carefree rapport with life that was slowly disappearing in other, older cities behind a somber, more prayerful and conscientious hope for industry thrust upon them by a national Depression.
Phoenix's boardwalks were full of the regular john does who sought the most peaceful life possible; they had heard that Arizona, the newest state in the Union, offered that. Miles of desert between itself and other metropolises seemed to have cut, at least escaped from, a reality of past problems.
But, the desperadoes straddled the same boardwalks, and they were everywhere. They didn't come this time with a snarl, waving guns and staging shootouts at high noon. They smiled now, and wore pinstriped suits and stole the advantage of the town rather than the money from its banks outright. They were rustlers, like Jack Halloran, who enjoyed running Phoenix like a Saturday night hootenanny and shooting from the hip with swagger and verbosity; the meter of their caliber was lethal: political savvy and an assured grin. They were the roustabouts, boasting a clutch on the throttle of the town administration, scuffing their path with invisible spurs, even up the sacred aisles of Municipal Hall to address the civic committees to promise their support for a more God-Fearing and Better Phoenix.
Because Phoenix had grown basically out of the desert ether, that is from a hitching-post town to one with an emerging art deco skyline, it was able to creep up ungoverned while the rest of the country was unaware of it. The reformers were watching Chicago, as was New York and Kansas City and St. Paul. But, Phoenix was viewed as a blossoming cactus of the Southwest, its needles albeit unobserved. On the surface, it wore a strict code of family morals and wedded loyalty and most of the 50,000 residents practiced what they preached but there was the element who found the motto, "a city of homes, churches and schools" a convenient mask to camouflage their lifestyles.
There was a league of Jack Hallorans there, big biters and big takers and big kickers. Suddenly rich on the pastel Sonora Desert, they ran Phoenix for the pleasure of their own pocketbook and libido. Americans didn't think of Phoenix as a Gomorrah, and that was its greatest power.
Jack Halloran was part owner of one of the largest lumberyards in this modern-day garden of sin. And owning a lumberyard in a burgeoning garden-turned-metropolis is a virtue that speaks for itself. A member of the Phoenix Country Club, he rubbed shoulders with the denizens of smoke-filled political backrooms, mayor on down, as well as patrons of business who, because they hoped to maintain an industry there, became very adept at psalming, "Yes, sir, mayor!" with an efficient nod of the head. Jack probably started out as a yes-man, too, but now he was one of the rich and favored.
Winnie Ruth Judd didn't realize the dangerous company she was giving herself to in the back seat of Model Citizen Jack's luxury sedan. She may have had misgivings she continued to pour out her love to Dr. Judd in ink and, in fact, wrote him that she hoped he would come to Phoenix but in the interim she obviously was feeling the freedom of the new girl in town. Attracting male stares made her feel like a woman, not just a preacher's daughter. Sensing the space and experimenting with what a woman can find in that space, she was having the time of her unconventional life.
After a few months with the Ford family, Winnie sought a financial step up as a medical secretary at the private Grunow Clinic. Her salary of $75 was quite good for the year 1931; it afforded her monthly rent for a small cottage at 1102 East Brill Street, food in the Kelvinator ice box, and a little left over to send her husband who had left Mexico for California where he had admitted himself into a hospital for drug cure.
Ruth's best friends were Anne LeRoi, a 32-year-old Oregonian divorcee who was an X-ray technician at Grunow, and 24-year-old Hedvig (or "Sammy") Samuelson from North Dakota who, because she was suffering from TB, had taken a hiatus from a teaching career. Before coming to Phoenix in early February of 1931, both these professional women worked in Alaska. It was there that they met and where they decided to move together down south because of Sammy's worsening health.
After their deaths, certain newspapers would hint at Anne's "mannishness" and term their friendship as a "queer love," a derogatory term for lesbianism in the first decades of the 20th Century. That they were bisexual might be true, for their relationship does seem to have extended to that. But, simultaneously, they also openly exhibited an interest in certain men, especially Ruth's male companion, who they called "Happy Jack".
They lived at 2929 North Second Street, in a small studio-type duplex, "a trolley ride away," according to Bommersbach, from Ruth's Brill Street place. There, they often threw small parties for Ruth and Halloran and the latter's married business buddies whom he brought along for revel.
He also brought crates of bootlegged booze. The men wined and dined the girls throughout the evening while their wives figured hubby was at the office working hard. Rather, hubby was hardly working. Because these knights of big business and big city dealings tended to leave behind them a wad of money for the girls' hospitality, one might conclude without so skeptical a mind that the hospitality may have included more than a tray of pastrami sandwiches and a leisurely bowl of popcorn.
Ruth knew that Jack tended to visit the two girls on his own and would, many times, begift them rolls of greenery and bundles of presents, but according to what is known she never balked. Still, author Bommersbach hints in her book The Trunk Murderess that beneath the amiability and, in fact, secret-sharing relationship the three girlfriends had, there was indeed a semblance of kinetic rivalry.
If she had been a fool, Ruth might have totally overlooked Jack's generosity to her female friends, but she was not a fool. Jack, she determined, was not a benefactor Santa Claus. Anne was a tall, well-built, stunning brunette with chiseled features, and blonde, dimpled Sammy did not exactly leave men cold. Both were charismatic, fun loving and, what Jack liked best, adventurous.
In autumn, 1931, the three girls attempted space sharing in the small quarters on North Second Street. Living under one roof produced problems, though. They began arguing daily, mostly over differences in housekeeping. Ruth was casual in her habits; the other two were obsessively neat. To placate, Ruth returned to her old digs at Brill Street.
But, a feeling of animosity was developing nevertheless, and not over tidiness. The bond between Anne and Sammy had always been impenetrable; they were sisters in one thought for so long and, whether sexual or spiritual, they doted on each other, protecting each other to no extent; Anne was the breadwinner and Sammy the homemaker. They were a family of two. Winnie, in a manner of speaking, was an outsider who, probably because she felt that way, had chosen to give them the freedom they needed to once again live the way they required.
Not that she wished to penetrate their circle she was independently happy and lost in the throes of romance with her Jack and fighting conscience over her betrayal of Dr. Judd -- but, no doubt, the interplay that existed between her and Jack, and Jack and her friends, almost certainly caused a sensation of distrust among all parties.
This negative underplay came to a combustive and startling and deadly head on Friday, October 16, 1931. Trouble began to twitch the evening before, on Thursday. During the week, Ruth learned that Jack and his crones had been planning a deer-hunting party in the White Mountains of northern Arizona. She offered to introduce Jack to a fellow employee at Grunow Clinic, a pretty, young nurse named Lucille Moore, who had come from that part of the country and was familiar with its wildlife. Jack agreed to meet Miss Moore and on Thursday he first picked up Ruth, then Moore, and headed back to Ruth's house where she had dinner in the oven.
On their way back, Jack remembered that he had promised to stop at Anne and Sammy's house to see a couple friends who were visiting there. Ruth felt uncomfortable because she had earlier turned down a dinner invitation telling Anne that she had business that night; she hadn't wanted to go into the history of the planned hunting excursion and Lucille Moore's involvement. While her reasons are unclear, they strongly and strangely suggest that she might have sensed a jealousy that would have raged had the girls known that she was introducing Jack to another good-looking woman. Later presumptions conclude that Ruth knew, or strongly suspected, that she had been sharing Jack's bed with Anne and, possibly, Sammy, too.
Jack went into the house to see his buddies, and Ruth's friends came out to say hello to Ruth and Miss Moore (whom Anne slightly knew from the clinic). Ruth observed no resentment in their actions; they were highly cordial even asked them to stay for dinner, which Ruth had to turn down because of her dinner waiting at home. It would not be until the following night that Ruth realized her initial suspicions had been correct.
Anne LeRoi and Sammy Samuelson hadn't liked the idea of pretty, young Lucille Moore one bit.

MUNCIE — The Butler Way never wavers.
Trailing by 11 early in the second half Saturday at Worthen Arena, the Bulldogs (4-0) used their defense to get back into the game and rally for a 59-58 victory against in-state rival Ball State (2-2).
"That's been Butler's M.O. since the giddy-up," said Anderson High School graduate Terry Johnson, the longest-tenured assistant on first-year head coach Brandon Miller's staff. "Even though people know we shoot the 3-pointer, but first things first, you've got to guard. We get some stops, and then we move on."
Butler got plenty of stops in the game's final 14 minutes, holding the Cardinals to 40 percent shooting in the second half and forcing nine of their 17 turnovers after intermission.
Ball State took a 42-31 lead on a layup by Majok Majok with 13:49 remaining, but the Bulldogs scored the next 11 points and 20 of the next 24 overall to regain control.
The run started when freshman guard Elijah Brown hit two free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt. Brown came off the bench to score 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting in just his fourth game at college basketball's top level.
"That's something he's been doing since the exhibition games, bringing us a spark coming off the bench," said senior Khyle Marshall, who led Butler with 14 points and added nine rebounds. "We knew he was coming in. He got in a rhythm, started getting a hot hand, and we went to him. He started knocking down shots. Just like myself, his energy brings everybody else's energy up."
Brown's next basket came on a dunk after a steal and assist from Andrew Chrabascz, and the Bulldogs cut their deficit to five on a steal and basket by Alex Barlow.
After a Ball State timeout, Marshall started a fast break with a steal and finished with a dunk off an assist from Brown. A few possessions later, Barlow tied the game for the seventh and final time with a 3-pointer off another Brown assist.

We have beaten this dead horse enough
but stuff like this really makes me wonder WHY this guy came back to play in september last year. Could we maybe think of moving him to 1B? Letting Davis/Frenchie Platoon in right? After seeing how slow Davis is does anybody think he can still play a corner OF? This is so damn depressing

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5) The Boyce Branch Library started their summer program off with a bang.An activity called "Fizz, Boom, Burp'" saw kids using common food and drink items as part of different scientific experiments. While the experiments spark their interest in science, organizers said that the learning doesn't stop at the library.
"They start looking at books to see why it happened or what other experiments they can do like that," said Margie Mealer, Boyce Branch Manager. "Then they start reading and the more you read, the more you know."
The Boyce Library has programs for kids all summer long. For more information visit www.rpl.org

Needed to get away from the printer set-up for a moment. CD-ROM was not compatible with
windows 8 so I am having to download all new software and drivers before I can set up an ad hoc
network. I HOPE.
You all are making me hungry. I guess it is time to eat a meal instead of just nibling.
My grandson has gotten a job at McDonalds until he turns 18 . He wants me to stop by. I do like…..ooh the one that has the "special sauce" on it. I haven't had one in awhile. It is usually what I get if we are out and need fast food.
Asti Glad you had a nice vacation. My daughter made a different kind of cold veggie Pizza for an appetizer. It was so good. Of course I have forgotten how she made it. It tasted more like a cheeze ball and raw veggies than a pizza.
New printer works nice. one thing though. It really helps if you install the new stuff after you
download it.
Lazy day. Time to shop.
Good evening!
For someone who has only worked one and a half days out of the last six, I feel ridiculously tired. My eyes hurt. Possibly it says more about my attitude at work than anything else, lol! I am looking forward to my week off.
I'm still enjoying Shadow of Night very much. SPOILER ALERT……….
It is a mark of the good writing that I am not put off by all the famous C16 people she just "happens" to meet, or all the name dropping. The author's research is impeccable, and she makes it all credible. (Thus far….. I am only half way through!) It is also refreshing to come across another fantasy writer who assumes her readers might have a modicum of intelligence. Gosh that makes me sound dreadfully snobbish. Didn't mean to, sorry, but I stand by it.
Son had to have a filling today. He went on his own. He is a funny mixture of a boy, sometimes very strong, mature and independent, and at others, so useless and lost. I was working today, and was pleased he was happy for me not to come with him. He said all went fine.
Yet, just last week, I had to stand over him while he phoned the local college to book a time for an interview. There was no-one in the office so he left a message in which he forgot to mention his name, or leave a contact number!
Asti Have you not read the author's background? She is seriously qualified. I also enjoyed Shadow of Night and I went to the trouble of setting up a file of images relating to the people and places mentioned. The whole book is very vivid and full of detail so that you feel as though you have stepped back in time with the characters.
I read "Shadow of the Night" A couple months ago. I was impressed by how intelligent a read it was.
Read like a history lesson at times. The "Marlow" character was most interesting.
I am sick. I have a gastrointestinal illness that started around midday yesterday while I was unloading boxes at the apartment. I worked through yesterday but I am home today, losing a day of work. I did not need this. I am going to try to do some work around here today, unload my buffet and use some polish on it. I don't feel a lot of motivation. I think I was sort of beaten down already from the weeks of working and so this virus has hit me harder than normal. I don't usually take myself out for the count.
Lady Hawk: hopefully it is a quick hit virus and will be gone soon.
Our sixteen year old boy cat vomited copiously this morning. I have never seen so much come out of a cat. So, here I was with my own gastrointestinal problems cleaning up after a cat and having to take him to the doctor. It was almost more than I could take. We know he is on the edge of renal failure and we have been fighting to change his diet for the last three months. The doctor gave him an antivomiting injection and another with an antibiotic. So, I am home again, feeling worse than before my excursion out into the cold and rain with a sick cat. It is 42 F (5.55C) and raining. This is not the weather to which we are accumstomed in April. It should be in the high 70s and lower 80s, more like 77F (25C) to 83F (28.3C).
Good evening!
So, it is April 4th. And it snowed, fairly heavily, all afternoon. I am not impressed. I am fed up of being cold, am in need of some sunshine, and am frankly terrified about our heating bill.
I have almost finished Shadow of Night. I am saving the last little bit for tomorrow. SPOILER ALERT………
I really wasn't keen on the Prague section. I got all excited about the Castle and the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter, as my DS and I went there a few years ago, but I thought the storyline with the Emperor was a bit daft. Things improved a lot after that.
Ironsos, I don't know much about Kit Marlowe, but from what I do know, he is perfectly cast as a daemon! I love the way she mentions Shakespeare, but seems to disregard him…….I'd like to know more about her reasons for that! And I love the PS in the note her Father left her!! Remember, Hamlet is my favourite play?!
Graymayne, yes, I know of her credentials. It is great to see her weave her academic knowledge into such an intelligent and intricate story.
Lady Hawke, I do hope you and your catty both feel better very soon. xx
LH, hope you & the cat feel better soon!
Alas, Roger Ebert will not be feeling better. He has passed.
Lady Hawke I'm sorry to hear about your unsociable bug, not to mention the cat! This is definitely bad timing:( I am sending healing vibes in your direction as soon as I post this.
Lady Hawke I hope both you and the kitty feel much better today. And that no one else in your family got it. ;)
Work lurk. ;)
I've had to push the move off a week. I've called the moving company and rescheduled. There is so much that needs to be done and I am not going to be any use today again. I also can't afford to go over and push through it and increase the chances of exposing my parents.
I am cooking corn beef. Too bad I don't have some cabbage. I might get some if I go out. I need to get dog food.
Lady Hawke Too bad about your sickness. Good thinking not going around your parents until you are better. The cat did pick a bad time to get sick too.
I went Wednesday and saw THE Host. It was pretty good. My daughter who had not read the book loved it. Now I need to wait for the DVD. It probably will come out earlier than the Twilight DVD's.
This is Friday afternoon and I'm still fighting this thing. I had to call the cable company to move out the shutoff date for my parent's television and the telephone company so their phones would not be shut off. Each of these phone calls was long and drawn out the first time I made them and were long and drawn out the second time to change them.
I have had a two hour nap, something I never do in the middle of the day, so I know I am beaten down by the sick and the exhaustion.
I purchased a frozen chicken cordon bleu casserole. Someone can throw it in the oven tonight. I hope I feel like eating some of it.
I can't remember the last time I was sick and just got to be sick. I know this is something all the mothers understand. The child still has to go to school and be picked up. I still have to think about how to get people fed. My DS did take my daughter out last night but he can't do that every night until I come out from under this.
Good evening!
I was very brave today, and took myself to the hairdresser. I told her I wanted it just about shoulder length, and with no fringe, but apart from that, told her to do what she would. I have come away with quite a choppy style with lots of layers, and I like it a lot. Though I did have to wash it again when I got home and style it away from my face. The shortest layer isn't quite long enough to tuck behind my ear and was hanging in my face and driving me BONKERS.
Lady Hawke, make sure you rest. You have been under a lot of pressure these last few months, and need to spend some time taking care of yourself. I hope the catty is ok today.
Won, how is Sally?
ASTI, if my hair won't tuck behind my ears it must be too short to get into my eyes. Someone did a chunky haircut on me one time and I thought I wasn't going to survive the awkward growing out period. When I put the rest into a ponytail to get it out of my way I still had chunks that fell forward into my face. They looked like floppy dog ears. That has become one thing I'm very specific about now.
WON, yes, have you heard anything new from Sally?
Hi everyone… Ironically, I just got a call from Sally last night. She is coming along physically. However, she is not dealing with the chemo so well. She called me kind of late in the evening actually. She said she just needed to talk to someone who would "understand, someone who would not judge me"… I do not know who the a**hole was who gave her a mirror, but I would like to have a few choice words with him or her. She was disconsolate. Her beautiful flaming red hair was cut short just before the surgery, & now was all clumpy & patchy. Her eyebrows were almost gone. She was grateful to not be dying, but was all depressed about what she looked like. I told her that it would all grow back & she would be her old self in no time. She said she would like to see me, but not until she didn't look so hideous. I am very, very glad to hear that. She has completed her radiation therapy, so once the chemo is done she plans to fly back to her parents place in France to rest & recuperate. I can't deal with such a long flight, so I will have to wait a few months before I am able to meet up with her. Thats about it for now…
I received an email showing a new line of mini pins. Here is one I thought was really wonderful.
WON, so glad SALLY has finally conceded she would like to see you. I am certain she is devasted about her hair but I hope she doesn't try to wait until everything is back to perfect again.
Morning all! We have a bright, sunny morning with temperatures just below freezing, but with the prospect of a pleasant weekend of weather.
Won-Two I am sorry that we have a society that is so judgmental about appearance when the most important aspect about people is their inner self. Sally has realised that you are her strongest ally at this low point in her life so that is really good news. I wish you both all the best in the world. Just try to imagine us all in a big, warm group hug. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Wotcher Ya'll
glad to hear Sally is better Won
dang that was cold Graymayne and the Bubble & Squeak sounds like something that would be great for a breakfast.
Hope you and your cat are feeling better * LH*
Won Poor Sally. Tell her there are great wigs out there in the meantime. I'm sure she knows that. A woman who owns Jimmy Choos knows that . :)
LadyHawke -please take care of yourself. I know that it's hard but with all the running around you probably have all your defenses down too. :(
I went out with my sisters yesterday. We had so much fun! I love spending time with them. We went to lunch and then we did some shopping. I found some cute key chains that say "sisters make the best friends". I bought three and gave each of us one. They loved them.
Good Morning All
I am very dehydrated. I am trying to drink but I'm having problems drinking more than I'm losing. I think this thing is slowing down but I'm very weak and not of much use, very light headed. The trip between the bed and bath or chair and bath is about as far as I can go and then I have to recover. I don't know how I managed to go to the grocery for my mother yesterday or how I took the cat to the vet on Thursday. I feel as if I might never leave the chair today unless it is to go back to the bed.
I did manage a little of the chicken pasta last night.
So far this morning I've had a cup of buttermilk and I'm working on a glass of club soda and a mug of tea.
I'm feeling desperately guilty about abandoning my parents but I would be of absolutely no use. I need to focus on getting some food and fluid into my system.
As it turns out I have been running a low grade fever, especially in the late afternoon and evening.

"Database unavailiable", apparently.
A couple of weeks ago, GayGamer.net launched its site with one helluva playful / funny first feature: Top 20 Gayest Video Game Characters. The list outlines their reasoning for outing 20 of the most eccentric and flamboyant game characters, as well as four honorable mentions submitted by readers (with more likely to come, as the most recent honorable mention was posted today).
Don't take this piece too seriously and you'll have a good laugh. The number one choice is a no-brainer, and you'll be happy he gets to wear "the giant bejeweled tiara of The Gayest Character in Video games!"
The GayGamer.net feature has garnered 50,000 page views since its publication. Congratulations to Flynn DeMarco, the site's mastermind, on its success. We wish we had picked up on this sooner, since DeMarco is offering several rounds of free drinks to In Newsweekly and Destructoid for given them early exposure. We always love a good pint (or twelve) when we can.
"Database unavailiable", apparently.
When will people stop outing fictional characters?
...database unavailable...
The of the KTT Illuminati
Looks like everyone's linked to it.
Chances are Zelda's at the top of the list.
My old CoH character was pretty damn gay.
Squall from FFVIII. Not only did Daddy's Little Princess sashe about town in an elegant fur collar, but he also said "whatever" all the time like a spaced out Valley Girl.

LAS VEGAS -- As shoppers flood stores for holiday deals, shoplifting is a big concern for retailers who lose thousands of dollars in merchandise every month.
Retail theft increases throughout the holiday season, according to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson. In addition, Las Vegas happens to be among the top 10 cities that has a problem with organized retail crime.
Shoplifting is a crime that nearly every retailer experiences and it impacts shoppers by causing higher prices.
"There's signs when they walk in the door that they're being monitored, there's cameras everywhere," said Andrew Roles, Fox's Spy Outlet.
Through preventative measures like signs, door chimes and a myriad of security cameras, manager Andrew Roles sees every customer and every potential thief.
"The more obvious that it looks like you're protected, the more likely they are not going to do anything to you," Roles said.
But not all local retailers are as well equipped.
During the holiday season, Wolfson says shoplifting numbers do go up.
"They want to provide gifts or things to family members and if they don't have the money, they feel desperate. They sometimes feel they have no choice, so they steal," he said.
Shoplifting can land a person in a mess of trouble. Any offense less than $650 is a misdemeanor and most offenders end up being cited but not arrested. However, the humiliation is the real punishment for most.
"You're detained. You're held in a local office until the local police arrive," Wolfson said. "You have to appear in court in front of a judge."
Stealing big ticket items will result in a felony charge and being arrested.
"It's really not worth it," Wolfson said.
While stores nationwide lose $30 billion a year to thieves, it's consumers who are the real victims because the losses are passed to them in the form of higher prices.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - The Carolina Beach Town Council welcomed new leaders at their Tuesday December 10th, meeting as Mayor Dan Wilcox and Council members Gary Doetsch and Leann Pierce took the oath of office.
Wilcox will serve a two-year term. Doetsch and Pierce will serve four-year terms.
The Council selected Leann Pierce as Mayor Protem.
Prior to taking the oath of office, the Council recognized outgoing Mayor Bob Lewis and Council members Jody Smith and Tom Bridges for their service.
Lewis was elected to a four-year council term in 2009.
In November 2012 then Mayor Ray Rothrock and Councilman Lonnie Lashley resigned their seats following the resignation of former Town Manager Tim Owens.
Lewis was later appointed to fill the Rothrock's remaining term until the 2013 election.
The Council then appointed Council members Jody Smith and Tom Bridges to fill the seat left vacant by Lewis' appointment as Mayor and the seat vacated by Lashley.
Smith and Bridges were appointed to server the remaining term and both unsuccessfully ran for election in November.
Gary Doetsch and Leann Pierce won their bids for four-year council terms.
Dan Wilcox - who previously served on Council and unsuccessfully ran in the previous election for the Mayor's seat against Rothrock and Pat Efird - won election as Mayor in November by seven votes over Lewis.
During the December 10th, meeting the Council recognized Lewis, Smith and Bridges for their service to the Town.
Lewis thanked the Council, employees, staff and community and said he plans to retire here and continue to be active in the community. He said the Town is working on a water and sewer project that will be an improvement for citizens' quality of life. He said, "We worked very hard... finding ways to cut cost in Town government and be able to reduce taxes here over the last couple of years and at the same time continue to keep working on quality of life improvements."
After taking the oath of office, Mayor Wilcox said, "It's been a long road. I thought I might not get here. I am and very appreciative of everything that everyone did to help me get here. I'd like to thank everyone by
name, but of course I'll forget somebody and hurt somebody's feelings. I won't mention any names. You know who you are. People who came out to work, campaign, people came out and contributed in all ways, shape and form to make this happen and I very much appreciate that. I appreciate the people that supported me through the tough times and the new folks that supported me."
He said, "As your mayor, you're all going to be the same now. We are representing all of you whether you voted for me or not. You are all are being represented and
this Council will represent everyone. I appreciate the opportunity, it's an honor and I promise to work hard and promise to represent the Town with dignity and honor."
Leann Pierce said, "I just want to say I thank everybody who helped me along the way during my campaign, but most of all I thank the people of Carolina Beach for having enough faith in me to
ask me to represent you and its an honor for me to do so and I promise you I will do the best job that absolutely can do and thank you very much."
Gary Doetsch said, "I want to thank everybody for everything during the election and campaign and with everybody seated up here it's time for us to go to work. Thank you."
The new Council took their seats and the first order of business was to appoint a member as Mayor Protem to serve in the absence of the Mayor. A position similar to vice chairman.
Council member Sarah Friede made a motion to reappoint Mayor Protem Steve Shuttleworth.
She said, "He's done an outstanding job and would represent a continuity between the previous Council and current Council."
Mayor Wilcox called for the vote and Friede was the lone yes vote.
Councilman Gary Doetsch made a motion to appoint Leann Pierce as Mayor Protem.
Wilcox called for the vote and Pierce was appointed to the position.
The Council took time to appoint members to various boards and committees.
The Council voted to hold a Council Retreat on Tuesday, January 7, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. at the Ft. Fisher Air Force Recreation Center, 118 Riverfront Road, Kure Beach, NC 28449.
Items that will be discussed include:
· Council Policies and Procedures
· Town Committees and Boards
· Establish Goals and Outcomes
· Council will also go into a closed session in accordance with NCGS 143-318.11(a)(6) to discuss performance expectations for the Town Manager.

---- — SALEM — Bill Legault says he's running to stay on the City Council because, "we need a more rational and clear-headed discussion on the issues.
"My time on the council has reinforced my perception that the city really needs someone in office who is not on a side — unbiased, rational and willing to engage in constructive dialogue," he said.
Legault was appointed by the City Council in January to fill the councilor-at-large vacancy created when Joan Lovely stepped down to become a state senator. A freelance writer, fitness coach and personal trainer, he is well-known around town but had never held elected office until this year. Previously, he worked as a bartender at the Lobster Shanty and as fitness director at the Salem YMCA.
If there's one particular issue that he hopes to see through, it's cultivating business growth downtown, he said.
"I'm greatly concerned with downtown growth. I would try to see us encourage and nurture more business growth downtown, as opposed to residential growth," he said.
However, Legault says he won't stay in elected office long-term.
"I am not a career politician. I have no intention of making this a career," he said.
"One of the flaws in Salem is that we have people that have been in the same position for 10 and 12 years. ... We need change on the council — consistently, not just occasionally. It's time for more people to step up and run for office in Salem. ... Not enough people vote, but even worse than that, not enough people run. It's a shame."
|Address: 2 Orne St.
|Age: 53
|Employment: Freelance technical writer, personal fitness trainer and consultant for restaurateurs looking to open on the North Shore
|Education: Salem High School, Class of 1979; associate's degrees in American history and criminal justice, Community College of the Air Force
|Family: Single
|Community involvement: Fundraiser for the Salem YMCA; Citizens Advisory Committee (reviews block grant requests); Mayor Stanley Usovicz's task force on homelessness; volunteer for Salem Boys and Girls Club
|If elected, will you accept the city's health insurance? Yes
|Pastime: Exercise and reading

A dazzling tour of the universe as Einstein saw it. How did Albert Einstein come up with the theories that changed the way we look at the world? By thinking in pictures. Michio Kaku, leading theoretical physicist (a cofounder of string theory) and best-selling science storyteller, shows how Einstein used seemingly simple images to lead a revolution in science. With originality and expertise, Kaku uncovers the surprising beauty that lies at the heart of Einstein's cosmos
"Relatively Wonderful"
Famed physicist Michio Kaku explains how Einstein used images to develop his groundbreaking theories. Narrated by listener favorite Ray Porter, Einstein's Comsos gives listeners a fresh look at Einstein and the discoveries that made him a legend.
This extraordinary travel book tells the true story of how in 1997 writer Michael Paterniti agreed to take a road trip from New Jersey to California, reuniting the preserved brain of the great scientist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) with his granddaughter Evelyn. Paterniti's improbable travelling companion is 84-year-old Thomas Harvey, the pathologist who not only removed Einstein's brain from his head during the autopsy but purloined it from Princeton Hospital also!
"Reads like a paper for an Honor's English class"
Take a journey across America with Michael Paterniti, Albert Einstein's brain, and the pathologist who stole it. This quirky, unique audiobook - part travelogue, part biography - delivers heartwarming and hilarious moments at the hands of a skilled storyteller.
Little more than 100 years ago, maps of the world still boasted white space: places where no human had ever trod. Within a few short decades the most hostile of the world's environments had all been conquered. Likewise, in the 20th century, medicine transformed human life. Doctors took what was routinely fatal and made it survivable. As modernity brought us ever more into different kinds of extremes, doctors pushed the bounds of medical advances and human endurance. Extreme exploration challenged the body in ways that only the vanguard of science could answer.
Say you want to start going to the gym or practicing a musical instrument. How long should it take before you stop having to force it and start doing it automatically? The surprising answers are found in Making Habits, Breaking Habits, a leading psychologist's popular examination of one of the most powerful and underappreciated processes in the brain. Although people like to think that they are in control, the vast majority of human behavior occurs without any decision-making or conscious thought.
"Excellent, in-depth, research supported insight"
In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted Pluto out of planethood. Far from the sun, tiny, and eccentric in orbit, it's a wonder Pluto has any fans. Yet during the mounting debate over Pluto's status, Americans rallied behind the extraterrestrial underdog.
"A Great Value"
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
"Nice! A guide on how to change"
>When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.
"Beautiful story, beautifully written"
In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago.
"The Art of (Unconventional) War"
The Introvert Advantage dispels common myths about introverts - they're not necessarily shy, aloof, or antisocial - and explains how they are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation such as chitchat, phone calls, parties, or office meetings can easily become "too much". Most importantly, it thoroughly refutes many introverts' belief that something is wrong with them. Instead, it helps them recognize their inner strengths - their analytical skills, ability to think outside the box, and strong powers of concentration.
"Read the book Quiet instead"
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.
"Thought provoking and Uplifting.... A++++++++!!!!!"
In 2009, Susannah Cahalan woke up in a strange hospital room strapped to a bed, under guard, and unable to move or speak. Her medical records - from a month-long hospital stay of which she had no memory - reported psychosis, violence, and dangerous instability. Yet, only weeks earlier she had been a healthy, ambitious twenty-four-year-old, six months into her first serious relationship and a sparkling career as a cub reporter
"Very scary, real story, superbly written and rea"
Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.
"Very informative, fun to listen to"
Think smart people are just born that way? Think again. Drawing on diverse studies of the mind, from psychology to linguistics, philosophy, and learning science, Art Markman, Ph.D., demonstrates the difference between "smart thinking" and raw intelligence, showing listeners how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge to get things done. He then introduces his own three-part formula for listeners to employ "smart thinking" in their daily lives.

In The Price of Silence she takes a devastating look at how we address mental illness, especially in children, who are funneled through a system of education, mental health care, and juvenile detention that leads far too often to prison. In the end she asks one central question: if there's a poster child for cancer, why can't there be one for mental illness? The answer: the stigma.
Widely used in classes, as well as sold to people operating successfully in the business world, the eagerly awaited revision of Influence reminds the listener of the power of persuasion. Cialdini organizes compliance techniques into six categories based on psychological principles that direct human behavior: reciprocation, consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity.

In the Pyrenees, contact between man and bear is rare. There are just over 20 brown bears roaming the vast mountain range. But for centuries, bears have loomed large in folklore and tradition, represented in cave paintings and both revered and feared in today's annual festivals. Bear Mountain is a journey into man's relationship with bears and the undeniable hold these animals have on our imaginations. However, bears are not viewed with universal affection. Efforts to replenish the brown bear population have been met with violent protests.

Not that you can't discuss "adult" things, but do take them elsewhere!
Though it took us ages the reach the 1000-comment limit, I'm not ready to put it back, since 500 is easy to hit in a day, and this reduces the chance of more drawn-out conversations being ruined by a sudden comment spree.

Thread: Redskins Vs Vikings.. who wins?
Re: Redskins Vs Vikings.. who wins?
To me, this game is going to be all about the running backs.
We know what Clinton Portis can do, but if our D-line can hold him down then we'll have succeeded in taking away a HUGE weapon from their offense. Of course we'll have to put double coverage on Santana Moss, or at least shift our defense so two of our zones cover his side of the field, and hope that Ben Leber can take out Chris Cooley one-on-one. The thing is, we need Chester Taylor to step up. This is really going to be a test for him, but there's no better way to prove yourself than by going up against the best, and in the Redskins defence and their co-ordinator Gregg Williams, he's going to be running against the most disciplined defence in the league.
As much as it pains me to say it, I can see the Vikes being squeezed out of this one. Although I'll be cheering for a win like everyone else.
I still see this as a low-scoring game though. I reckon somewhere between 17-10 and 21-17 to the Redskins.
Re: Redskins Vs Vikings.. who wins?
I hate 2 play the Devil's advocate...
but this team is quite arguably the best team in our schedule to play, i believe this will also b a battle of defenses, but, the redskins will probably play a better game considering they have a more experienced defense as a whole, while the vikings have players that are yet to join 2gether (hopefully this season) and b a competitive defense. However, that being said, our offense is in much better shape considering our qb proved himself worthy last season going 7-2 while the redskins could barely score touchdowns with the pass. The Vikings will have the edge in this department because our recievers proved themselves worthy.
I give this game to the Vikings 24-20...

Re: Redskins Vs Vikings.. who wins?
The beginning of the season will be very tough. New schemes, coaches....going against some of the top teams. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Vikes go into the BYE below 0.500. As long as they're improving along the way it won't matter. A win in D.C. is against the odds, will be tough.

I just wish the season would be here allready.
Thanks to PPE for the sig.
Re: Redskins Vs Vikings.. who wins?
I hate to say but, Washington has a great Defense that has been playing together for a while, our D still needs to Gel, I don't think we can pull it off. I say Washington takes this game.
As for our Corners, Winfield is not soft, he is probably the best tackling corner in the league. Smoot on the other hand...I'm off the Smoot bandwagon, I constantly see reports of him burned or hurt or having a great catch over, he's overrated, I think Griffin will be taking his job very soon.

You do you think will win with the Vikings and Redskins week 1? wHY DO YOU think that ? who is the X factor?
I think that the Vikings have a nice front D-line but there secondary is soft, so I think we with Portis Speed and Betts Runnign style.. we could tire the D-line down with Betts and use Portis Speed to get to the outside. I think the Vikings Secondary is some softies, with antione winfield and fred smoot. There Saftey got injured as well
On the other side of the board I think there exfactor in this game is Troy Williamson. I dont think our cornerbacks can keep up with his straight away speed. which is why we have to use Adam and Taylor to knock him out, so he will have alligator arms.
I think our Xfactor in this game (is the whole team but if I had to pick one) I would say our D-line.. If Andre can get around the edge, whille Big Joe, and CGfiff push the pocket... we can get some serious timing issues which should cause alot of interceptions.
I think the skins. Not sure on a score though.
but you all do have steve hunchinsona nd tony richardson so pass rush might not be as easy as it sounds. .. go skins!! and lets pray for a good non injury fun and exciting FIRST WEEK OF THE SEASON!!

On Steel Battalion and a one out of 10.
Hello all. In the event that you don't know me: my name's Arthur Gies, and I'm Polygon's resident Reviews Editor, which means that I, well, edit ... reviews. I run Polygon's reviews coverage. I make final calls about assignments, edits, scores (after extended conversation with the reviewer, that is), and layout.
This morning we published a review of Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor for Kinect, which signified a couple of firsts for Polygon. Most obviously, Steel Battalion marks the lowest score Polygon has given a game since we started our alpha phase in late February. The previous record holder was Bloodforge for Xbox Live Arcade, a title I personally scored at a two out of ten. When that review went live, a number of commenters and people on Twitter asked, amidst what I hope was a measured but clearly supported stream of vitriol, what could possibly earn a one?
Per my note on the Steel Battalion review: However, as part of Polygon's standard review process, reviewers do not unilaterally select a score for their text. Instead, myself and at least one other editor discuss the text and then approach the reviewer with our thoughts on the score that seems most appropriate to the text, at which time a final score is determined.
Before I scored Bloodforge I spent some time chatting with Chris Grant, Polygon's EIC, about that score. We decided that a one would be reserved for games that, more than anything else, didn't function correctly. We're not talking a matter of taste, or an appraisal of success. We're talking about a game that, by virtue of bugs or broken elements such as controls, etc, would be difficult or impossible to complete in a reasonable amount of time (another subjective description, to be sure). At that point, even discussing design or art seems superfluous in consideration of that kind of title's wholesale mechanical failure.
Steel Battalion was easy to score based on that metric, regardless of the fact that Justin didn't complete the game. Reviews at Polygon are pieces of criticism with regards to a game's successes and failures, sure, and they're entertainment in that regard, but reviews are also a service to our audience as consumers. In discussing Steel Battalion with Chris Grant and Justin yesterday afternoon, I made the call to score Steel Battalion as we did because I felt that it was in the best interests of our audience to do so. The text made that clear to me, as I hoped it would for our readers.
But I'll admit, I'm an ass-covering sort. Justin had gone to the trouble of talking to some other reviewers about their experiences with Steel Battalion yesterday morning to confirm that he wasn't just doing it wrong. I want to stress how unorthodox this is. Reviewers might mention a quick opinion about a game they're reviewing to another reviewer on the same title, but prolonged discussion is less likely, because it might unduly influence either party. But people seemed fairly willing to discuss the abysmal experiences they were having with Steel Battalion, which helped all of us feel like we weren't walking out over deep water. That might sound chicken-shit, but we wanted to be sure if we were going to be so declarative. We also had several Polygon editors download the Steel Battalion demo and try it in their own homes. While there were varying degrees of success, no one could get reliable results out of Steel Battalion.
So in the interest of the aforementioned ass-covering, I made a call to seek approval from the editors from other outlets that we spoke to about Steel Battalion to put them on the record about their experiences with it. I wanted to drive home that we had done our due diligence with regards to making sure that the technical issues we encountered were not limited to Justin's home and setup. And I was surprised to find that many of those editors were willing to go on the record with us, ostensibly a competitor.
Every review has its own sort of story as to how it gets published, and there are other details about Steel Battalion that I won't bore you with. But I hope that I explained, in my own meandering way, that we take our responsibility to our readers seriously. I wanted to explain how we arrived at the score we did, and the inclusion of additional voices. And I'd like to again thank Alex Rubens, Ben Kuchera, Julian Murdoch, and Ryan McCaffrey for allowing us to get them on the record.

If you haven't stopped by on Fourth Ave., you really should.
This hole-in-the-wall-chic spot, between President and Carroll streets, knows how to make fresh, traditional Mexican food, which they believe brings their customers a "little taste of Mexico."
You can walk out of there only spending $10 for a legitimate meal. And if you don't eat as much as I do, then maybe even $5.
Oaxaca's produce, meats and dairy are whenever possible purchased from local, organic and sustainable sources. But, that means nothing to me unless it tastes like it and the portions are not disrespectfully small and here, the taste is seriously delicious and the plates are respectfully filling.
Although their tacos are awesome, their enchiladas are a good call when you want something bigger and cheesier.
The carnitas enchiladas (braised pork) are great, but the carne asada (grilled steak) as a filling is a great choice.
The pieces of steak are big, juicy and charred just enough.
The enchiladas are baked with cheese (tons of it where it's almost too much, but then again that's not even possible) and topped with their salsa, which is homemade from scratch. They also throw on top, just for good measure, onion, cilantro, guacamole and sour cream.
I'd suggest getting three ($9.95) and it also comes with rice and beans.
What's your favorite Oaxaca dish? Let us know in the comments section below.
