Interesting map:
Like the other sets of maps, these were created using estimates of team support based on each teams share of Facebook likes in a ZIP code. We then applied an algorithm to deal with statistical noise and fill in gaps where data was missing. Facebook likes are an imperfect measure, but as weve noted before, Facebook likes show broadly similar patterns to polls.

go all in on the training. For 18 consecutive weeks, I ran on average 60 miles a week. This included 14-15 mile runs every Tuesday morning (at 5 AM before work), 8-11 milers every Thursday morning, and long runs every Saturday; all over 18 miles (5 over 20 miles). All with one goal in mind: 3:10 or faster at the St. George Marathon.
So I laced them up on Saturday morning nervous as hell. Thought I had a good chance based on how well the training went and the Top of Utah Half Marathon I ran in August (1:27). I also knew the full marathon distance is a completely different animal and it was going to be very tough.
Race started out well, the first 7 miles at St. George are mostly downhill and pretty fast. Averaged about 6:40 per mile for miles 1-7. First test came at Mile 8 (the Veyo hill). It is a fucking monster. Focused on keeping the heart rate down, but the pace suffered greatly (8:05). To make things worse, started to feel tiredness in the legs.
Miles 9-13 continued as a slow climb. Based on my training, I knew my legs could recover if I stayed calm. Got through this tough stretch averaging 7:15s; slower than expected but still on track for a 3:10 thanks to the fast early miles. Hit the halfway point in 1:32.
I dont remember miles 14-18, but they were solid splits; 7:02, 6:40, 6:40, 6:53, 6:51. Trouble came at 19; some unexpected uphills led to a 7:36. At mile 20, I was absolutely exhausted. Convinced myself that 7:30s from here on out would get it done, but didnt know how I was going to do it. Just kept running.
Managed a 7:12 for mile 20, but it was tough. Then came a giant series of downhills at 21. Not only did I run a 6:43, but was able to stop at back to back aid stations, take a quick drink and catch my breath.
At 22, I knew I had to run four 8 minute miles to close this thing out on time. Thought it was going to happen if I just held on. Ran 7:31 and 7:11 miles before entering St. George from the parkway. 2 miles still left but I felt like death and heart rate was through the roof.
Finally made it around the final corner and saw the finish line in the distance. Looked for my family but couldnt find them. Then I heard a large roar in the crowd and knew it was them (about 15 of them made the trip). Ran to the other side of the road for high fives, then back to the middle of the road and the finish line: 3:06:40.
Immediately felt light headed when I crossed the line. I just stood there, hunched over for a minute or two with one of the volunteers. Stumbled to the shower and just stood there, soaking.
Slowly walked over to the fence-line (with a volunteer holding me up) where my family was at. More high fives, hugs, and a very loud singing of Happy Birthday (Saturday was my 37th), with family members, volunteers, and even a couple strangers. Truly a great moment.

4th player ever to be a unanimous selection.
During his rookie year he broke Stephen Currys NBA rookie record for three-pointers in a season, knocking down 185 three-pointers on the year, which is also a new Trail Blazers franchise record for most three-pointers in a season. It was also the fifth most threes in the league this season. He was named the Kia Western Conference Rookie of the Month in each month during the season, becoming the eighth player to sweep the monthly awards.
He joined Oscar Robertson and Allen Iverson as the only rookies in NBA history to record 1,500 points and 500 assists in a season. He scored 30 or more points five times during the year, including a career-high 38 against the Los Angeles Lakers in April.

A source close to free agent cornerback Sean Smith laughed when asked if Smith and the Dolphins have had productive contract talks at the Combine. Smith is seeking a contract worth at least $24 million guaranteed over three years, and the Dolphins dont value him that highly. The Dolphins might use the franchise tag to keep him around, but defensive tackle Randy Starks seems like the likelier option.
Dont rule out the transition tag, either, which gives the Dolphins the right to match any other free agent offer Smith receives.

The only items that are important:
1. The 49ers want to trade Smith.
2. Smith would rather be released and become a free agent.
5 Myths regarding the situation:
1. The 49ers are eager to have both Colin Kaepernick and Smith on the roster in 2013.
2. There's a weak trade market for Smith.
3. Smith was a free agent last season and there was no market for him.
4. The 49ers owe it to Smith to release him.
5. Teams will be reluctant to trade for Smith because his salary is prohibitive.

Appearing on GameDay Morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he's hearing the Cardinals are expected to go after Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for their head-coaching vacancy.
When asked which of the head coach jobs would be filled next, Rapoport said he believes it will be the Cardinals. He also said if Arizona can't land McCoy, whose Broncos were just eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday, then incumbent defensive coordinator Ray Horton could be the backup plan. McCoy is expected to be a hot commodity on the market this upcoming week.

A team of scientists can verify that their 5-year long DNA study, currently under peer-review, confirms the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called Bigfoot or Sasquatch, living in North America. Researchers extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.
Our study has sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain 3 whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species. Our data indicate that the North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.

I'm calling it right now: Alex Smith will be a contender for MVP this year.
Alex Smith has grown into a man, Simms said this week on NFL Monday QB on CBS Sports Network. Of course hes being taught well, but hes just gotten physically stronger. When you look at his first three or four years, I didnt think he was strong enough to be an every-week starting quarterback. He is now.
Simms observation echoes what Jim Harbaugh said in May when he noted Smith had physically gone from a skinny 20-year-old to a quarterback whos really a man now, a real strong man.
He has won me over, former NFL quarterback Steve Beuerlein said on CBS. Im a believer. Hes gone 216 passes in a row without an interception. Thats a huge stat right there. He showed toughness and then clutch throws down the stretch during that game-sealing drive. I thought it was an awesome performance by him (Sunday) night.
Jesus is a fan of personal foul penalties, leading with your head, and deliberately trying to injure an opponent.

text: The Sky Line June 2, 2008 Issue Out of the Blocks Beijing's Olympic architecture is spectacular, but what message does it send? By Paul Goldberger Table of Contents The steel lattice surrounding the Beijing National Stadium looks like a gigantic sculpture, but most of the beams are structural, not decorative. Photograph by Iwan Baan. To understand just how important the Beijing Olympics are to China, you have only to look at where the Olympic Green has been built. During Beijing's first building boom—six hundred years before the current one—the city was laid out symmetrically on either side of a north-south axis. As in Paris—where the Louvre lines up with the Tuileries, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs-Élysées—Beijing's most symbolically important structures have fallen along the main axis. In the center is the former imperial residence of the Forbidden City. North of this is the Jingshan, a park surrounding an artificial hill where the last Ming emperor is said to have hanged himself, and, beyond that, the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower, which for centuries helped Beijing's inhabitants tell the time. In 1958, when the Communists expanded Tiananmen Square, at the southern gate of the Forbidden City, they placed the Monument to the People's Heroes on the same axis, in the center of the square. Mao Zedong's mausoleum, also in the square, is on the axis, too. And now, spread over twenty-eight hundred acres at the opposite end of the axis, is Beijing's Olympic Green. If Tiananmen Square is a monument to the Maoist policy of self-sufficiency, the Olympic Green, ten miles and fifty years away, is an architectural statement of intent every bit as clear—a testament to the global ambitions of the world's fastest-growing major economy. At least two of the buildings on the Olympic Green—the National Stadium, by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, and the National Aquatics Center, by the Australian firm PTW Architects—are as innovative as any architecture on the planet, marvels of imagination and engineering that few countries would have the nerve or the money to attempt. The Chinese, right now, have plenty of both. These buildings, some of the most advanced in the world, are made possible partly by the presence of huge numbers of low-paid migrant workers. When I visited the stadium with Linxi Dong, the architect who heads Herzog and de Meuron's Beijing office, he told me that the construction crew for his project numbered nine thousand at its peak. The National Stadium is already widely known by an apt nickname, the Bird's Nest. The concrete wall of the arena is wrapped with a latticework exterior of crisscrossing columns and beams, a tangle of twisting steel twigs. The lattice arcs upward and inward over the stadium's seats (there are ninety-one thousand), supporting a translucent roof and forming an oculus around the track. The center of the roof, over the field, has been left open. The engineering required to keep all this metal in the air is highly sophisticated: the building may look like a huge steel sculpture, but most of the beams are structural, not decorative. The drama of the Bird's Nest is even more arresting than that of the Allianz Arena, the Munich soccer stadium, which Herzog and de Meuron sheathed entirely in billows of translucent plastic, in 2005. Much of the spectacle derives from the interplay of the steel lattice and the concrete shell underneath. The outer wall of the concrete structure is painted bright red—one of the building's few overtly nationalistic touches—and when lit up at night it shines through the latticework, an enormous red egg glowing inside its nest. On leaving, you experience the excitement of the knotted metal in a new way, looking out over Beijing through the wacky frame of the slanting columns. Next door to the Bird's Nest is the Aquatics Center, known as the Water Cube, a rectilinear building with a blue-gray exterior of translucent plastic pillows set in an irregular pattern intended to evoke bubbles. John Pauline, who is the head of the Beijing office of PTW Architects, told me that the design emerged from a desire to find a way of expressing the feeling of water. "We started out with ripples and waves and steam," he said. "We basically looked at every state of water we could imagine. And then we hit on the idea of foam." Working with the engineering firm Arup, which also collaborated on the Bird's Nest, PTW developed cladding made of variously sized cells of ETFE, or ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, a translucent plastic somewhat similar to Teflon. Among architects, ETFE is the material of the moment—Herzog and de Meuron used it for the façade of their Munich stadium and for the roof of the Bird's Nest—and it has many practical virtues. It weighs only one per cent as much as glass, transmits light more effectively, and is a better insulator, resulting in a thirty-per-cent saving in energy costs. Furthermore, the pillows don't just evoke bubbles; they are bubbles, twin films of ETFE, eight one-thousandths of an inch thick, placed together to form a cell, which is then inflated. The real achievement of the Water Cube is less its technical wizardry than the transformation of the faintly trite idea of a bubble building into a piece of elegant, enigmatic architecture. The architects decided that, to play off the oval shape of the Bird's Nest, the Aquatics Center would have to be square, and the constraint of straight lines seems to have insured that the bubble metaphor didn't get out of hand. The Water Cube's walls suggest the soap foam on a shower door—or perhaps, since some of the bubbles are as much as twenty-four feet across, on the slide of a microscope. From the outside, the almost random arrangement of cells establishes a kind of correspondence with the irregular struts of the Bird's Nest. When you are inside the main hall of the Water Cube, the pattern of cells above and the green-blue tinge of the pool give you the feeling of being under water yourself and looking up toward the surface. Although China's burgeoning wealth owes much to its export industries, for the Olympics the country has been content to play the reverse role, buying the most futuristic architecture that the rest of the world has to offer, rather than showcasing native talent. The work of Chinese architects has largely been relegated to a jumble of functional but uninspiring buildings. (There are thirty-one Olympic venues in all.) An important exception is Digital Beijing, a control center on the Olympic Green, designed by a Chinese firm, Studio Pei Zhu. Like the Water Cube, Digital Beijing steers dangerously close to a kitschy conceit. It consists of four narrow slabs set close together in parallel to resemble a row of microchips or, perhaps, hard drives. Some of the walls have glass cutouts in a linear pattern clearly designed to evoke a circuit board—they light up green at night. Yet the finished building has a dignity that is surprising. This is due in part to Pei Zhu's choice of materials—the walls are clad in a sober grayish stone—and in part to the proportions of the four slabs, whose narrowness and lack of adornment give the building an austerity that is the opposite of kitsch. Pei Zhu may be Chinese, but his building is thoroughly international in style. (He was educated at the University of California and has worked both in China and abroad.) Indeed, apart from the red of the Bird's Nest, there is little that is traditionally Chinese in any of the Olympic developments. The scale and ambition of the project is an unmistakable statement of national pride, yet China, strangely, has been content to make this statement using the vocabulary of the kind of international luxury-modernism that you might just as easily see in Dubai or SoHo or Stuttgart—dizzyingly complex computer-generated designs, gorgeously realized in fashionable materials. The message seems clear: anything you can do, we can do better. The first Olympic Games of the modern era, in 1896, were held in an ancient stadium in Athens that the Greeks refurbished for the occasion. The swimming events took place in the Aegean Sea. The next Olympics, in Paris in 1900, had no stadium at all. The track-and-field competitions were held on the streets of the city and on the grass of the Bois de Boulogne, which the French did not want to disfigure with a proper track. Swimmers were left to cope with the currents of the Seine. The idea that cities could attract the Olympics by promising lavish facilities probably began after 1906, when the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius put an end to a plan to have the 1908 Games in Rome. The British saw Italy's misfortune as an opportunity and offered to build a stadium big enough to hold a hundred and fifty thousand people, in Shepherd's Bush, London. The White City Stadium, as it was called, was the first stadium to be erected specifically for the Olympics. Soon, countries were openly vying with one another to host the Games. (What is the Olympic ideal, after all, but national rivalry dressed up as global amity?) The apogee of triumphalism was reached, notoriously, in Berlin, in 1936, when Hitler, who wasn't yet in power when the Games were awarded to the city, embraced the Olympics as the way to show off the might of the Nazi regime. Architecture was as much a part of his vision as the gold medals, though his taste ran to the turgid and overblown. He tore down a perfectly good, barely used stadium, replaced it with the largest stadium in the world, and then built a hundred-and-thirty-acre Olympic Village, with a hundred and forty buildings laid out in the shape of a map of Germany. Since the Second World War, host countries have avoided such bombastic excess, but they have usually seen the Olympics as an opportunity to pin a gold medal on one or more of their leading architects. There was Pier Luigi Nervi's innovative, seemingly floating concrete dome on his stadium for the Rome Olympics, in 1960; Kenzo Tange's swooping, sculptural gymnasium for Tokyo, in 1964; Günter Behnisch and Frei Otto's canopied stadium for Munich, in 1972. For the Barcelona Olympics, in 1992, the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was enlisted to build a communications tower that would serve as an Olympic symbol. Calatrava's angular, precarious-looking design, inspired by an arm holding the Olympic torch, established his world-wide reputation and remains one of the city's most visible structures. But the Barcelona Olympics also marked a new approach to Olympic architecture, one that placed as much emphasis on the relationship between the city and its facilities as on the sports venues themselves. Barcelona used the Games as an occasion to redevelop its waterfront and design a series of new parks, fountains, and works of public art to attract tourists after the Games were over. Since then, cities have been keen to use the Olympics to leverage other civic improvements, on the premise that if you're spending billions to refurbish a city you should at least invest in buildings that have long-term utility. That's why the legacy of the 1996 Olympics, in Atlanta, isn't any of the athletic buildings but a major new park and housing for athletes that became new dormitories for Georgia Tech. The plan for the 2012 Olympics, in London, takes this idea a step further. Although there is one flashy commission for a British architect (an aquatics center, designed by Zaha Hadid, in the form of a giant wave), the London Olympics are distinctly short on architectural extravaganzas. The main stadium, to be designed by a large American firm that has had a lock on football and baseball stadiums for years, will be dull compared to the Bird's Nest. When I talked to Ricky Burdett, a professor of architecture and urbanism at the London School of Economics, who is an adviser to the London Olympics, he told me that London did not feel the need to prove itself through spectacular works of Olympic architecture. "We had a big debate over whether we should build a new stadium at all," he said. "We were much more interested in how an intervention on this scale will affect a city socially and culturally." The British government plans to invest roughly nineteen billion dollars in an Olympic site, in the East End of London. When the Olympics end, much of the area will become a park, and sales of private development sites around it are expected to enable the government to recoup much of its investment. Burdett said, "London has always been poor in the east and rich in the west. The London Olympics can rebalance London." Beijing, evidently, has other priorities. For all the sleek modernity of much of the construction, there's no mistaking the old-fashioned monumentalist approach behind it. This is an Olympics driven by image, not by sensitive urban planning. It's true that there has been a much needed and well-executed expansion of Beijing's subway system, but most of the impact of the Olympics has been cosmetic—the trees planted along the expressway to the airport, for example, or the cleanup of some of the roadways leading to the Olympic Green. Bordering one stretch of congested elevated ring road, stone walls, like the ones surrounding the old Beijing hutongs, or alleyway neighborhoods, have been erected. But, with not much behind them, they are little more than a stage set—Potemkin hutongs designed to distract visitors from the fact that so many real hutongs are being demolished for high-rise construction. In today's Beijing, forcible eviction is common, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced to make way for the Olympics. The brightness of the Olympic halo gives Beijing's relentless expansion a surface sheen, but it's only a distraction from the city's deeper planning problems, such as air and water pollution and overcrowding. In general, the Chinese authorities have been less interested in solving these problems than in keeping the construction engine going at full throttle. Still, the Olympic site did require some planning and, in 2002, a competition was held to create a master plan. It attracted entries from ninety-six architects around the world, and was won by a Boston firm, Sasaki Associates. Despite its straight-line connection to the Forbidden City, the Olympic Green lies in a district that, in recent years, has become a forest of undistinguished high-rise apartment buildings and commercial towers. (The site also includes a mundane athletic compound erected for the 1985 Asian Games, and these leftover structures are all being refurbished for the Olympics.) Dennis Pieprz, the president of Sasaki, who was in charge of the scheme, explained to me that the firm struggled for a long time with the question of how to treat Beijing's axis. The Chinese tradition of aligning important public buildings created "a huge temptation to put the stadium right on the axis," he said. "But we decided that in the twenty-first century we were beyond that, and that we should, instead, symbolize infinity, and the idea of the people in the center, not a building." So Sasaki placed the stadium just to the east of the axis and the Water Cube just to the west; the space directly on the axis was left open. Pieprz told me that he felt that considering the long-term use of the site was essential. "We needed a plan that could accept other civic, cultural, recreational, and commercial uses, so the place would become a major destination," he said. Sasaki envisions the Olympic site as becoming a large park, with each of the major buildings taking on a public function. The Bird's Nest will remain as the national stadium, its capacity reduced to a more practical eighty thousand by the removal of several tiers of seats; the Water Cube will lose almost two-thirds of its seventeen thousand seats, the upper tiers to be replaced by multipurpose rooms. "You are making a city, not a spatial extravaganza that will be interesting just for sixteen days," Pieprz said. But, whatever the architects feel, it's not clear that the Chinese are really that interested in long-term uses. The focus is on August, and on confirming before the world Beijing's status as a modern, global city. However well the buildings are refitted afterward, it's hard to see how the Olympic park will relate to the rest of the city, beyond being a welcome piece of green space in an increasingly built-up, sprawling metropolis. The success of what China has built for the Olympics will ultimately be measured not by how these buildings look during the Games but by the kind of change they bring about in the city. The billions of dollars spent on the Olympic site, after all, are only a fraction of the money that has been invested in construction in Beijing since the Games were awarded to the city, in 2001. The city, however, has yet to build a public space as inventive as that of post-Olympics Barcelona, or to think of the impact of the Olympics in terms as sophisticated as pre-Olympics London. In both conception and execution, the best of Beijing's Olympic architecture is unimpeachably brilliant. But the development also exemplifies traits—the reckless embrace of the fashionable and the global, the authoritarian planning heedless of human cost—that are elsewhere denaturing, even destroying, the fabric of the city. ♦ Paul Goldberger Bio All work & You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

Young People's Voices on Child Trafficking: Experiences from South Eastern Europe
Mindful of the important contribution that young people can make to our understanding of the issues that concern them, in 2005 and 2006 UNICEF arranged for children and young people who had been trafficked while under 18 years of age, to be interviewed in their home countries. Interviews were conducted in Albania, Kosovo, Moldova and Romania. Each of the children and young people described their lives before recruitment, their experiences during exploitation, and how they got away from the traffickers. They also spoke of rebuilding their lives once they were free. The interviews formed part of a broader assessment of strategies to counter child trafficking in the region.

Is it hot? Sure, it's hot. But the bracing pickled cabbage, cooling fresh herbs, and sweet-tasting rice will help keep the flames in check in this incendiary dish from Thai-Kun.
Grilled Bread with Peanut Curry Sauce and Pickles
This recipe from Thai-Kun makes a generous amount of sauce, which you may find yourself finishing (we won't judge). Any leftover would be great on everything from white rice to noodles to…well, more bread.
Black Noodles
The key to this dish from Thai-Kun is not letting the noodles stick together. Keep them moving in the pot, drain very well after rinsing, and add the oil to coat right away. If you like, quickly grill a few slices of sirloin steak and toss them in at the end.

CHICAGO | At a time when Republican members of the Cook County Board are trying to get Metra board officials to resign in the wake of financial problems at the commuter railroad, a south suburb's representative says he has no intention of quitting.
Don De Graff, the South Holland village president who also serves on Metra's board of directors, is not following the lead of other Metra officials, who in recent weeks have indicated a willingness to be replaced.
"We're all very competent people who want to deal with the problems facing Metra," De Graff said, saying he has no intention of leaving before his term expires June 30, 2016.
"It would make no sense for any of us to leave now," De Graff said. "We have serious problems to address, and very competent people who are capable of dealing with them."
But some Metra members have been willing to leave. Most recently, Arlene Mulder, of Arlington Heights, said she will quit when her term ends next year, while William Widmer, of Evanston, offered his resignation earlier this week.
The departures come in the wake of significant public attention due to financial problems, particularly the approval back in June of a sizable severance package for former Metra CEO Alex Clifford.
Among those calling for the departures are the Republican members of the Cook County Board — Gregg Goslin of Glenview; Timothy Schneider of Elk Grove Village; Elizabeth "Liz" Doody Gorman of Orland Park and Peter Silvestri of Elmwood Park. They sponsored a resolution this week that asks all suburban Cook County Metra appointees to resign.
"The public has grown suspicious and skeptical as more allegations surface making it impossible for the remaining Metra board directors to continue in their positions with any public confidence," the resolution reads.
The Metra railroad board consists of 11 people, five of whom are chosen by officials from each of the Illinois counties that surround Cook. The Chicago mayor and Cook County Board president each get a pick, while suburban county commissioners get to pick people from their respective areas.
That resolution was referred to a County Board committee for further study, as was another resolution introduced by Commissioner Jeffery Tobolski, D-McCook, that urges the Illinois General Assembly to come up with specific guidelines for the county to follow when choosing Metra board members.
Tobolski said it would help the County Board if there were qualifications needed to serve on the Metra board.
Tobolski's resolution says that currently the only requirement is the people picked by Cook County must live within the Cook County suburbs.
As for qualifications that should be set by the state, Tobolski's resolution says, "Chief among these requirements should be a threshold age limit, educational level and professional background."
The County Board is scheduled to meet again Oct. 2, although it is not known if any action will be taken on either resolution.

Lily James is Disney's Cinderella
- Written by El Presidente on Tuesday, April 30 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Bleeding Cool
Greetings, comrades! El Presidente here, reporting from inside a chemical weapons manufacturing plant in Syria. Why? Because this scoop is the bomb!!!
Hollywood gossip and rumor sites around the web are reporting that Lily James has been cast in the upcoming live action remake of Cinderella from Disney. James plays Lady Rose McClare in the PBS snorefest Downtown Abbey, a show about rich white people that everyone loves but can't explain why. To celebrate this casting, comrades, I've decided to watch five minutes of Downton Abbey to see what all the fuss is about. I will be right back...
Dear readers, Jude Terror here, filling in for the esteemed El Presidente. I'm sorry to report that after viewing several minutes of Downton Abbey, El Presidente fell into a deep coma and was taken to a local hospital for emergency treatment. The Outhouse sends our wishes for a speedy recovery to El Presidente, and warns our readers that under no circumstances should they attempt to watch a show as horrifically boring as Downton Abbey without first getting advice from a qualified medical professional, such as a Nightmare Nurse.
On a positive front, I asked my six year old daughter for comment on the Cinderella casting, and she replied that James was indeed "beautiful," but questioned Disney's wisdom in changing the character from a blonde to a brunnette, citing past continuity in the original animated feature film as well as appearances in coloring books, apparel, and other merchandise. She declined to elaborate on this position unless I agreed to get her a glass of chocolate milk, but The Outhouse refuses to negotiate with terrorists.
Get it? Terrorists?

About the Author - El Presidente
El Presidente gave up his position as President and Prime Minister of Cuba, as well as First Secretary of Cuba's Communist Party, in 2008 in order to concentrate on his true love: Hollywood gossip reporting. Forming the rumor website Cubano Review, El Presidente built a name for himself based on over THREE DOZEN industry credited trade scoops. Unfortunately, capitalist American trade embargoes have rendered CubanoReview.com unreachable from within the United States, forcing El Presidente to syndicate his articles to The Outhouse, which flies under the radar of the American oligarchy thanks to most leaders assuming it is a scat porn site, which, to be fair, is basically true.

SCHERERVILLE | The town is exploring the possibility of building a new fire station and renovating two existing stations to enhance fire protection, Fire Chief Joseph Kruzan said.
Station 2 became the Fire Department's headquarters after Station 1 was demolished in 2000, Kruzan said.
The department has outgrown the facility near Cline Avenue and Joliet Street, officials said.
Kruzan said it's possible to build a new Station 1, and the administrative offices would move there. The town hasn't determined a location for the station, but several sites are being considered.
Kruzan said Schererville's Fire Station 3 and Station 4 were built when the department was staffed by volunteers.
The department no longer has volunteers, and enhancements are needed to accommodate paid personnel at those stations, he said.
Station 3 is on Burr Street south of U.S. 30, and Station 4 is in the Plum Creek neighborhood near the intersection of Main Street and U.S. 41.
Town Councilman Kevin Connelly said improvements are especially important at Station 4 because of the Shops on Main development planned in that area.

Dropped the grommet into the fermentation vessel when trying to push the lock in. Just like the youtube video I watched this morning warned me.
Research says that if it had been sterilised then it should be ok. So I grabbed a spare one and put the lock on properly. Fingers crossed.
The thermometer is reading a little warm (28-30°C) so I've wrapped it in a wet towel and put the fan on in the garage. See how we go I suppose.
A while ago I picked up some home brew gear from Freecycle. I've always wanted to brew my own beer and why knock free gear!
Months pass and I keep making excuses about having no bottles. Really I just didn't want to stuff it up. Christmas arrives and a gift voucher means I have no excuses - bottles and other extra gear purchased.
Last weekend was a heat wave so today I've sterilised my gear and I'm just waiting for it to dry. So I figured I would document at least my first brew!

Studded to the hardened ground, the grotesque movements
keep on remaining flickeringly passive at the epicentre of these,
liberately obsessive to [in totality], engulfing the enigmatic cadavers
of the dated surroundings that are synthesized as philosophical looms
to weave the astronomically unnecessary eruditions containing
surreal sights of lascivious and licentious attributes, contributions
of deathly grating yet silenced deaths, the goody old categorized
obsolette stuffs of modernizations - they keep on dictating the
barren landscapes with their unique posture of Birthing, [givin'.]
once excessively acted and experimented, to the eventual point
of being haltingly overused within societies, transformed into a
clandestine way of pleasurements, a worldwide disease that was,
though not quite acceptable, yet unanimously understandable—
More pure evil bastards were created, more pure good "bastards"
went back to their mum's wombs, quoted as last epic lines in wills,
all pathetic mere creations of these obsolette ins-outs, all the
familiar participants, encouraged by natures of Gaia - Horninesses:
the sounds of bones cracking, clinking, of entwined trepidations,
carving each other's deliquesced inked portraits startled by pretentious,
teenage droogs' old obsessions, fascinations - them multilingual
shaped hearts imaginated by and stolen from the minds of uphill-ed,
advanced mad readers of books that'd already long-gone and joined
the joyful mixtures of ashes on long-lost parades with the winds,
way, wayyy long before the thing bibles had quickly catched and stolen
and added to shredded pages came surfaced and reflected on balls—
This venomous air's parsimoniously seizing chiseled momentous,
blurred feelings owned by some ever existing nastinesses, as blind
horses are blindly saluting to the overrated discording specks of dust
that spit out ironically exaggerated vibrations felt the times between
a-year-ago and one-hundred-year-ago, ones filled with decayed and
depraved decades of bombings and shootings, killings and rapings—
They are dissembledly staring at the motions that are scrawling out
droughty puddles containing Egyptians' whispers, or just some
coincidental relations of the now-alienated, imperfected rectangles
of dirt, uncanny alliterations, the cloned and deformed tepid and
quite messed-up human beds, with them all bleary eyes that
are angsts-freedomless in queer opaques, pulsated and shrunk
back into folds, and instinctively hidden upon them daily acid drizzles,
with spoliated hooves scalded by the Sun's continual reflexes,
again and again, to that of whittled man-mad e pencils' foinings—
From vertical povs this whole surreal ceremony seems rather odd,
's looking like mere summations of dying miniature paintings of
almond trees in an abandoned oasis - scrounged perceptions perhaps,
in the eyes of oppressive painters - no more than underrated "artists".
But no/Let's focus and muster, stop muttering/Them painters, they…
…are all dead and dying, they wisped and buried sickened frames
from the high-profiled buyers that got choked and strangled
and burned to undeserved deaths, within stomachs of spotty locations,
among the multitudinous embalmed corpses of the city: religiously
and mindlessly speaking, mere no-brainer presentations of Gods'
sons and daughters' selfishness and delinquent souls, drifted and
swallowed by severed flows of nothingness' rivers, all margined
and digested in slow-mo, all are trampling on the corridors of imaginary,
illusory buncha Hells, harmlessly, in sync, with the simplified thoughts
of promulgating palindrome acts of superfluous corrosions, once again,
upon the said sad cradled once-populated packs of domiciles.

In 1981, on this day air-traffic controllers, federal employees banned from striking, confronted President Mondale.
President Mondale settles with air-traffic controllersIn spite of the temptation to have them fired and end the strike, Mondale negotiated with the controllers, and reached a fair settlement of their grievances. Labor was forever after grateful to Mondale, but the move enraged conservatives who declared that Mondale was in the pocket of big unions.
Two years before he had assumed the presidency after the worst disaster in American history. The wind currents from three-mile island swept the eastern seaboard and the radiation even reached Washington DC, where dozens of members of Congress were killed, as well as President Carter. Despite low expectations, he emerged as one of America's greatest presidents.

John McCain Does Stick to His Guns. It's the Targets that Keep Changing.
He may have fallen in line with President Bush on other issues, but when it comes to government intrusion on citizens' lives, John McCain is going to take a firm, unequivocal, unchangeable stand.
In a December interview with the Boston Globe, he even spoke out against Bush's use of unauthorized wiretaps…
Q: Does the president have inherent powers under the Constitution to conduct surveillance for national security purposes without judicial warrants, regardless of federal statutes?
McCain: There are some areas where the statutes don't apply, such as in the surveillance of overseas communications. Where they do apply, however, I think that presidents have the obligation to obey and enforce laws that are passed by Congress and signed into law by the president, no matter what the situation is. [...] I don't think the president has the right to disobey any law.
That's right! You tell 'em, maverick. A war hero knows how to stand by his principles, come what may…
In a letter posted online by National Review this week, [McCain senior adviser] Douglas Holtz-Eakin said Mr. McCain believed that the Constitution gave Mr. Bush the power to authorize the National Security Agency to monitor Americans' international phone calls and e-mail without warrants, despite a 1978 federal statute that required court oversight of surveillance.
[...] David Golove, a New York University law professor who specializes in executive power issues, said that while the language used by Mr. McCain in his answers six months ago was imprecise, the recent statement by Mr. Holtz-Eakin "seems to contradict precisely what he said earlier."
Somehow I have a feeling McCain isn't going to agree with Prof. Golove, who should probably think about changing his phone number and email address as soon as possible.
Tucker Bounds, a McCain campaign spokesman, said Mr. McCain's position on surveillance laws and executive power "has not changed."
"John McCain has been an unequivocal advocate of pursuing the radicals and extremists who seek to attack Americans," Mr. Bounds wrote in an e-mail message, adding that Mr. McCain's "votes and positions have been completely consistent and any suggestion otherwise is a distortion of his clear record."
See? There you go. McCain has a clear record of pursuing radicals who seek to attack Americans, Americans such as himself, perhaps by using verbal weapons of mass destruction like "contradict" and "flip-flop."
He's also taken the consistent position that inconsistency is his Constitutional right, as long as he's consistently inconsistent, which he totally is, because of his principles.

China bans Bitcoin, lowering the ceiling of the currency's potential December 5, 2013 at 4:30 pm
China is taking the first step in regulating the use of Bitcoin in its monetary system. By blocking banks from touching the online currency, China has triggered a sell-off in world Bitcoin markets.
Bitcoin price has exploded past $600, thanks to the US Senate and China November 18, 2013 at 3:41 pm
As always, the value of Bitcoin rises and falls, and with it, media coverage. The cryptocurrency clawed its way into the public eye months ago when it reached an all-time high of around $250 per coin, then crashed hard and faded from view like it always does. Now, Bitcoin is back thanks to its recent ridiculous surge beyond $600 per coin, but what caused it to explode?
Sony's PS4 is made with the blood and tears of unpaid blackmailed student laborers October 10, 2013 at 11:02 am
This November, the PS4 and Xbox One will herald the eighth generation of console gaming, bringing more hardware horsepower to living room gamers than ever before. Unfortunately, a new report suggests that all that horsepower is the result of the blood and tears of unpaid student interns.
How the PS4 and Xbox One console war will be won: China lifts 13-year ban on consoles September 27, 2013 at 12:08 pm
For a while now, the console war has been decided on the Western battlefront, Japan no longer the deciding factor in both sales and what influences game design. American sales and taste has given rise to the most popular and successful video games of all time, but now, a new soldier in the console war has joined the fight, and could massively boost sales, as well as change the course of what influences game design.

iPhone 5C: A play-it-safe device that milks Apple's cash cow, but hands the rest of the market to Samsung September 11, 2013 at 12:09 pm
The iPhone 5C is an odd device. It is essentially the same smartphone as the iPhone 5, but with a plastic body instead of aluminium. Beyond increasing sales slightly, and thus driving more profits, it's actually hard to find a purpose for the iPhone 5C.
Invisibility cloak made from Teflon can be created in just 15 minutes September 10, 2013 at 10:54 am
Chinese researchers have succeeded in using a highly novel approach to craft a Teflon-based invisibility cloak in just 15 minutes. The process, called topology optimization, uses computer software to algorithmically and automatically design a material with specific qualities — such as an invisibility cloak. The design, once desired qualities have been achieved, is then produced using a 3D printer or similar computer-controlled manufacturing device.
China continues incredible space push with lunar rover launch in 2013 August 29, 2013 at 8:30 am
China continues to hustle for top spot in space, and recently organized a UN meeting on manned space flight. Its ambitions in this area are real, and it wants everybody to know about them. Will the US take note, and step up its own sense of urgency in the race for Mars?
China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer, twice as fast as DoE's Titan, shocks the world by arriving two years early June 24, 2013 at 6:56 am
In a massive escalation of the supercomputing arms race, China has built Tianhe-2, a supercomputer capable of 33.86 petaflops — almost twice as fast as the US Department of Energy's Titan. The US isn't scheduled to build another large supercomputer until 2015, suggesting China will hold pole position for a long time to come. The computer has 32,000 Ivy Bridge Xeon CPUs and 48,000 Xeon Phi accelerator boards for a total of 3,120,000 compute cores, 1.4 petabytes of RAM — and of course the operating system is Linux.
Chinese company plans to build Nicaraguan canal to compete with Panama June 14, 2013 at 11:40 am
Global trade is outgrowing the Panama Canal, so Nicaragua is teaming up with a Chinese company to build an alternative. The Great Nicaraguan Canal is going to be the largest ever constructed by far.

Haunted El Paso 2011: Photo of El Paso Playhouse Smoke-like Apparitions
HAUNTED EL PASO 2011 – EL PASO PLAYHOUSE: This is a digital image shot at the El Paso Playhouse Theater by Ruben Escandon Jr., one of the photographers who helped filmmaker Jackson Polk document the stories in his new DVD, "Ghost Stories of El Paso, Volume 3". The photo of the smoke-like apparitions was taken July 22nd on the stage as "ghost trackers" Mario and Patrick sat and listened to music. And get this: Psychic-medium Lady D who had accompanied them that evening had just described sensing a couple dancing on stage!
Actors and others that frequent the theater report hearing footsteps on the wooden staircase when no one is on it, voices, whispers, doors slamming shut, and other such phenomena.

Well you do have the option to ask cox to upgrade your Emta To a D3 Emta.
dfrandin,The last time we forced customers to upgrade was to get rid of the last of the ancient DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 modems a few years ago.
I don't recall anything that drastic happening across such a broad range of equipment. What I do remember was a situation regarding D-Link modem that necessitated an emergency upgrade to resolve. Even then if you called in and had a D-Link modem we shipped a free replacement.
With my old Arris D2 and Premier(early 2011), I was getting 14/3.Switching to a SB6180 gave me 32/5, and I do not see any time of day slowdowns. Glad to see Cox finally pushing out the D3 modems for preferred.
I had that D-Link, would have been nice to get a free one, CSRs were clueless, tech said they deactivated DOCSIS 1.x for 2.0 and most D-Links were made inoperable as well as some Motorola's. Sounds as if either he didnt know or didnt want to say.Though I cant complain for having to buy a new modem, Cox comped my current D3 when the D2 started acting up.
