(The WB) 9-10 PM Premieres Sept. 12
My fellow Americans, we have finally found a candidate you can believe in. He's inspired. Filled with bold ideas. Truly a man of his time. Sure, he's got some skeletons in the closet, such as the father he doesn't like to talk about and the piece-of-work mother with a weakness for weed. But he's a good guy -- spent a year or two in a seminary, actually -- and besides, even the most moral of presidents have a Billy Carter in the family. His name is McCallister, and there's an Oval Office in his future. . .
Two teensy problems. One: He's still in high school. Two: He doesn't exist. He's a character on The WB's 'Jack & Bobby, a new family drama from Everwood exec producers Greg Berlanti and Mickey Liddell and Emmy-winning producer-director Thomas Schlamme (The West Wing) about a Missouri teen destined to become president. . . in the year 2041. Which character -- that is, Jack or Bobby -- we are bound by Fall TV Preview disclosure laws not to reveal. He might be 16-year-old Jack (newcomer Matt Long), a bright but underachieving jock, or he might be his younger brother Bobby, a 13-year-old science nerd (Logan Lerman, the young Ashton Kutcher in The Butterfly Effect). Both are sons of single mom Grace (Chicago Hope Emmy winner Christine Lahti), a history professor with high-minded ideals and much-too-high expectations of her boys. The secret will be declassified in the first episode, courtesy of a device that will appear throughout the series: flash-forwards to a future documentary in which talking heads discuss President McCallister's life. So until the premiere, Berlanti wants to remain as intriguingly vague as a politico on the stump. ''Now I know what M. Night Shyamalan feels like,'' he quips.
Jack & Bobby arrives after kicking around Hollywood's development hell like a bill stuck in congressional committee. It originated with two writers: author Brad Meltzer and Steve Cohen, neither of whom had any TV experience. They had the title and the track-a-future-president's-evolution concept. . . and little else. The scribes pitched their neat idea to Schlamme since he was into politics and TV and stuff. He was interested, but after two years of tinkering, Schlamme still thought the project wasn't ready for prime time. ''It was a great idea, but didn't feel realized,'' he says.
Undaunted, Warner Bros. Television head Peter Roth encouraged Schlamme to bring the project to Berlanti, believing the Everwood creator's skill for mixing family drama and contemporary issues would unlock Jack & Bobby's potential. Roth was right. Berlanti's remedies were few yet significant, including switching which brother became president. ''Having worked on family shows for years, you tend to tell the same moments again and again,'' says the Dawson's Creek vet. ''But this had a high concept that puts a new spin on all the familiar beats. They all take on new meanings when you imagine that 40 years later, he's ruling the free world.''
To help govern Jack & Bobby, Berlanti brought aboard a running mate: Vanessa Taylor, an Everwood scribe who wrote season 1's controversial abortion episode. Berlanti and Taylor immersed themselves in presidential history and, of course, boned up on Kennedy arcana. Jack & Bobby is steeped in Camelot allusions, from its evocation of political idealism to an undercurrent of fatalism: The first episode reveals one character's untimely death.
Still, no one will confuse the boys playing the titular characters with the Jack and Bobby of legend. A precocious kid who looks more Bobby Brady than Bobby Kennedy, the 12-year-old Lerman is regarded by producers as something of a child prodigy. The kids at summer camp thought so too. ''They had no idea I had been cast in this series, and they voted me 'Most Likely to Rule the World,''' he says with a grin. (Not that we're giving anything away.) In a span of weeks last spring, Long, a mild-mannered Kentucky native with a passing resemblance to a young Tom Cruise, went from wannabe actor in New York to shooting the pilot in Austin. His first day: a verbal throwdown with Lahti, in which Jack calls out Grace for her suspect parenting skills -- and gets hit upside the head. ''Here I am, not even in SAG yet, getting slapped around by Christine Lahti,'' says Long. ''I think maybe they had me do that scene first to see if I could hang with her -- so they could get me out of there quick if I couldn't.''
Lahti actually almost missed her chance to join the Jack & Bobby ticket. Married to Schlamme since 1983, Lahti and her husband have worked together occasionally (he directed episodes of Chicago Hope) but in general prefer to keep their home life separate from their Hollywood lives. Hence, Schlamme never suggested his wife for the role. Lahti ultimately owes her job to another actor (whom the producers won't name) who, during his unsuccessful audition for the role of college president Peter Benedict, offered the unsolicited observation that Lahti would be great for Grace. Turns out Berlanti, Taylor, and Schlamme had been thinking the same thing, but kept silent for fear of awkwardness. Ironically, when Lahti was finally approached, her reaction was What took you so long? ''I had read the script, not looking for a role,'' she says. ''When I finished, I thought, 'Why am I not being considered?!'''
Though the creative minds behind Jack & Bobby are unabashedly liberal, their goal is to be fair and balanced with the Big Issues, like religious tolerance and race. ''The ambition here is to explore issues in a very complex way,'' says Lahti, whose own character is perhaps the show's best example of its evenhandedness. Brilliant and self-righteous, Grace is also fragile, insensitive, and hypocritical. She also smokes a lot of pot. ''She's got a problem,'' Lahti says ominously. Moreover, look for Grace's boss, Benedict (Sex and the City's John Slattery), to give voice to the conservative set. ''I'm a Republican. The first time [my character] said it, I couldn't get the word out,'' says Slattery, who obviously isn't a Bush man. ''But I want to be the conduit for the best argument the conservatives have to offer. If the show is too left-leaning, it misses out on being as rich as possible.''
Not to mention missing out on a wide demographic sweep. That hasn't always been part of The WB's youth agenda -- until now. ''Our audience has been with us for 10 years, so the median age is creeping up,'' says David Janollari, The WB's new president of entertainment. Of course, the show has a few teen-friendly elements: Jack has a hunky best friend (Edwin Hodge) and a love-hate thing with Benedict's daughter (Jessica Paré), both of whom will have roles in the McCallister White House. (Not that we're giving anything away.)
Jack & Bobby also has a nobler ambition than expanding The WB's viewer base: affecting the current body politic. ''This is The WB,'' says Taylor, ''so we have a real opportunity to reach teenagers when they're about to become politically active. If we can get the message across, 'You enjoy the privileges of a democracy -- get involved,' that would be phenomenal.'' Here's hoping that's a campaign promise Jack & Bobby can keep.

Make a home for wildlife
3 September 2013
Marsh tit with avian pox
Image: Roy Norris
From time to time, sick or dead birds may appear in a garden. Unfortunately, once birds are visibly sick it is rarely possible to treat them successfully.
The best thing people can do is to prevent healthy birds from catching the infection, thereby helping to slow down or stop the spread of disease.
Exercise good hygiene around the feeders and water containers, and if necessary, withdraw food to encourage birds to disperse to feed over a wider area. It is better to do this than to expose them to a serious disease risk.
If you must handle sick or dead birds, it is important to exercise great care and hygiene, since there is a small but real risk of transmissible infections from sick birds. Some of the diseases of wild birds, most notably salmonella and coliform infections, can be passed onto people and pets.
Use protective gloves, and wash hands and forearms thoroughly as soon as you have finished with the bird. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth until you have been able to wash properly. Do not allow your pets to play with or eat birds, especially if they are sick or dead.
Please see our page on hygiene precautions (right) for more details.
No treatment can be administered to birds in the wild, because it is impossible to ensure adequate dose for the infected individuals and to prevent healthy birds picking up the medicine. Some drugs that will cure one species can be lethal to others.
Once birds are visibly sick and can be caught, they are usually so sick that they cannot be treated successfully. You may wish to contact a local vet or RSPCA inspector, since the kindest thing may be to put these birds to sleep. While many vets are happy to treat wild birds without a charge, check on this before taking the bird to a vet. Please note that the RSPB is a conservation charity. We do not run bird hospitals or a rescue service, and so are unable to help a sick bird.
Trichomonas gallinae affects bird's digestive system. It typically affects finches, and doves and pigeons. Any bird can catch the infection, but being bird specific, it does not pass on to mammals, including humans.
Trichomonosis causes lesions in the throat of the infected bird, which makes it progressively harder for the bird to swallow its food. In addition to showing signs of general illness such as lethargy and fluffed-up plumage, affected birds may regurgitate food, have difficulty swallowing or show laboured breathing. Finches frequently have matted wet plumage around the face and beak, and uneaten food in and around the beak. Sometimes it is possible to see swelling in the throat area of an infected bird and it may stretch its neck in discomfort.
The infection is spread as birds feed one another with regurgitated food during the breeding season, and through food and drinking water contaminated with freshly regurgitated saliva. Sick birds, unable to swallow, will spit out food particles, which then carry the infection. Trichomonas is vulnerable to desiccation and cannot survive for long periods in the open outside a bird.
The higher the concentration of birds at a feeding station, the greater the chance of another bird exposing itself to the infection.
If a number of birds show symptoms of trichomonosis, it is recommended to temporarily stop putting out food, and leave bird baths dry until no further sick or dead birds are found in the garden. This will help to disperse the feeding birds and reduce contact between sick and healthy individuals, thus slowing down or halting the outbreak.
Avian pox is a viral skin infection that shows up as warty growths on the head (particularly next to the eyes and beak), legs, wings or other body parts of the infected bird. The growths are usually grey, pinkish, red or yellow in colour, and can reach a considerable size. Smaller brown or grey lesions can be confused with ticks. Affected birds feed and move around normally. The birds most often affected are tits, dunnocks and pigeons.
Avian poxvirus spreads between birds by biting insects, by direct bird-to-bird contact, and by indirect contact via contaminated surfaces such as perches or bird feeders. The virus is relatively resistant and can persist on contaminated surfaces for long periods of time.
Where an avian poxvirus outbreak exists, ensure optimal hygiene at garden bird feeding stations, paying particular attention to regular disinfection of surfaces that the affected birds have been in contact with, such as perches or feeder ports. Clean out bird baths on a daily basis, and refill with fresh water. If a large number of affected birds congregate, consider reducing the amount you feed while affected birds visit the garden to help reduce close contact between them and healthy birds.
Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection, which is present at a low level in wild bird populations. Salmonella outbreaks can be seen in wild birds in Britain during the winter months. Flocking ground feeders, such as greenfinches and house sparrows, are most commonly affected. There are no symptoms specific to salmonella, but infected birds will show general signs of ill-health. They are listless and lethargic, tend to stay close to feeders, fail to respond to danger and can be approached closely. Even though an infected bird tends to continue to eat almost to the end, it will become weak and emaciated.
As this infection is spread through droppings (when they contaminate items eaten by other birds) ensuring good hygiene at feeding stations is the best way to avoid it spreading.
Some types of Salmonella are responsible for food poisoning in people. Therefore, it is very important to exercise good personal hygiene if handling sick or dead birds, and when cleaning the feeders and water containers.
There is a range of other bacterial, viral and parasitic infections that are encountered from time to time in garden birds.
Coliform infections can occur in garden birds. While some of these bacteria occur normally in the intestine, outbreaks in finches are normally caused by Escherichia albertii. The affected birds show general signs of ill-health – lethargy and fluffed-up plumage. Although these infections can occur any time of the year, they seem to be more common in the late spring months. Outbreaks are best prevented by keeping all feeding areas and water containers clean and free from droppings.
Foot deformities in finches are normally caused either by chaffinch viral papilloma or by burrowing mites that cause cnemidocoptiasis. Both of these show up as pale, crusty growths on the feet of the affected bird. Neither condition is life-threatening, although they can cause visible discomfort.
Chlamydiosis, also called psittacosis or ornithosis is a well-known infection in pet parrots, but can also affect wild birds such as pigeons. There are rare instances where it has also been affecting birds such as robins, dunnocks and tits.
Gape worm is a throat parasite found in blackbirds and other earthworm eaters. It moves from an earthworm to a bird and back to an earthworm.

Harvey will try rehab rather than surgery on elbow
|New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey speaks to reporters before the Mets' baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013, in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Harvey will try to rehab his injured elbow without reconstructive surgery, a move the young ace hopes is going to keep him on the mound for the New York Mets next season.
Tommy John surgery remains a possibility. Harvey will soon begin a throwing program designed to last as much as six to eight weeks. If he feels pain or other symptoms that hinder his pitching, he likely will need the operation, which probably would likely sideline him for the entire 2014 season.
The decision was announced Tuesday evening at Citi Field, one day after Harvey was examined by Dr. James Andrews to get a second opinion on his right elbow. The 24-year-old pitcher was diagnosed with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament by Mets doctors on Aug. 26.

Smut With A 'Twist': Paparazzi Driving Without A Valid License A La Paris Hilton
Our pals at ERSnews.com have done it again! In an exclusive, the investigative Web site asks the questions everyone else wonders but never pursues.
In its latest piece, the site exposes Ramon Leroy Kirk, better known as "Twist," an X17 pap, whose driving record puts Paris Hilton to shame.
Starting in 1993 Kirk has been cited for driving on a suspended California driver's license at least 9 times based on records obtained exclusively by ERS News.
Definitely a fun read. Almost makes up for the site's horrible name.

Natural Gas Rig Explodes in Gulf of Mexico
A summary of coverage from Energy News, including video clips, is here.
The good news, besides the fact that 44 people escaped the rig uninjured, is that as of mid-morning today, the fire is apparently out. Here's a CNN update from mid-morning today.
Logically enough, the accident has raised more questions about safety practices on off-shore rigs and about what's wrong—if anything—with blow-out preventers, which, given their track record in the Gulf, seem to have a habit of failing at inopportune times. Here's the Wall Street Journal report.

The mighty Kalalau
What the sign could also add is that it's 11 long miles to the end, with no potable water, with trailside greenery that disguises sheer drop-offs, exposed to turbulent onshore winds, and when it rains, which is often, if you can call some of these deluges simply "rain," the whole grand landscape turns into a snotty pudding and you will cling like a wretched beast to the nearest wisp of a bush and wonder if the whole island is going to turn before your eyes into a brown stain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Sort of.
Still, even fittest of big-league hikers should not plan on making the 22-mile roundtrip to the trail's terminus at the Kalalau Valley. Each mile on the Kalalau walks like two. The good news is that you begin to pick up fab vistas after only a half-mile, so there's no need to turn this trail into an all-day escapade to do it justice.
Kauai Trailblazer. All Kidding Aside: This beach is very dangerous in the winter, and drownings occur. Also, you have to cross a stream right at the beach, and this has also proven to be fatal to hikers during flash flood conditions.

We were first given the wrong room. We had booked the Palms Place and they booked us into the Palms Casino. The desk made us feel that we didn't belong at the resort and were very short with us. We paid a lot of money for this trip and would have been happier with a hotel on the strip such as the MGM, Bellagio, Caesars Palace which were comparable in price and a lot closer to the action. We had to drive every where from the Palms Resort.

The Palms Place, I think, is better than the Palms. They are studio apartments with VERY comfortable beds and the pull out queen sofa is just as comfortable. The bathrooms are gorgeous. The only thing that I was disapointed about was the balconys are now locked. LAME. I wish they had a shuttle to the strip, as the taxi cabs are about $15 one way. They have good clubs and restaurants, and the pool is fantastic!Review by: All Fiesta and no Siesta

First time staying at the palms. Got a great rate via orbitz and locked in. Was only there for the night. Room was great size and very trendy. Did show some signs of wear and tear that could've been addressed. Staff was friendly for the most part and being young, I like the vibe and the current music. One thing I noticed the following day when I woke up was the room was extremely dusty. Don't know if this is a housekeeping issue or ventilation issue. All in all good stay and would return.Review by: clm31

I selected this hotel based on a very positive prior stay. Great when you're in Vegas for business only, as there are no casino distractions. However, unbeknownst to me since my prior visit, the Palms has now tacked on a $15/day "resort fee." As my assistant made my reservation, I was unaware of this additional fee until I checked out. I stayed at the Palms for a little over 30 hours (arrived after midnight for "1st night"), and was presented with resort fees of $30 plus tax. This leaves a very bad taste in one's mouth! Furthermore, after checking with my assistant, the additional fees were not openly disclosed on my hotel confirmation information. She had to click on several links to even find out there would be an additional cost. Meanwhile, if the Palms has decided to assess additional "resort fees" to their patrons (which apparently include up to $20 in beverages per day), it would be extremely beneficial if front desk staff would bring this to the customer's attention upon checking in. This is a fine hotel with a dismaying new policy.Review by: DanP

My girlfriend and I were there with three other couples dining, partying and gambling. The Palms is great for all three. The Palms Place is located on the same property as The Palms, connected by a walkway called the Skywalk. The standard room at Palms Place is a Suite and it was outstanding. Roomy and comfortable with an outstanding view of the strip. The staff at the hotel is some of the best that I have witnessed. The food at the hotel is also great, but the service was poor. As far as the nightlife, you don't even have to leave the hotel. Some of the coolest clubs in Vegas are located in the Palms. As far as gambling, the casino itself is a little smaller than your typical Vegas casino. My only gripe is that they eliminated their Let It Ride table. Overall I plan to stay there everytime I go out to Vegas!Review by: Dudeman

We booked a room at the Palms, it was $99 and thought it would be a regular looking room, we got to the hotel, stood in line and an employee took us to the front desk, checked us in, we went to our room only to discover an amazing suite with a kitchen, bath tub, rainfall shower balcony, a king size bed and sofa bed with 2 flat screen TV's AMAZING stay at the Palms, they also gave us a $20 drink coupon to use at any bar.

Went to Vegas with a group of 25 girls. Booked the hotel 2 months before the trip. Called twice before going and confirmed that the hotel where [...]was suppose to have booked us never received our reservation. Called again 4 days before leaving and [...]assured they had sent everything to the hotel. Arrived at the Palms Place hotel at 10:30 pm, tired and had to go through what I was already expecting, no reservation at the hotel. At the check in they informed that the room type booked was fully booked and in order to stay at the same tower along with all the other girlfriends we were forced to pay an $50 in order for them to upgrade our room which they should have just upgraded us free of charge. Very upsetting as we had to go through this uncomfortable situation. [...]Review by: Giselle

The Palms Place is OK, which is kind of a shame, as I was looking forward to a luxurious experience. The rooms seemed dirty (stains on the pillows and the walls), and very beaten up. My friends changed rooms three times, after their toilet stopped working. The room they finally ended up in was also full of broken objects, and ripped and stained furniture. After a few drinks and with dimmed lights everything seemed okay though!! If you're looking to party, we had a ton of fun at the Ghostbar, and Moon. With free cover for guests on weeknights. Also Ditch Fridays at the Palms Casino Pool was a really good time. Being off the strip was a bit of a pain, but not the end of the world, especially considering there's lot of good partying to be done right there. All together, it looks like it was a beautiful hotel a few years ago (I know things age quickly in Vegas), and I had a ton of fun staying there, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Review by: Ositos

ALCOA, Tenn. (WVLT) -- "It's double game week!" Alcoa head coach Gary Rankin barked to his players before Monday's practice.
"Double game week!"
Yes, double game week. Double. As in two.
Alcoa opens up the season Thursday against Smith County, and then plays at Morristown East on Saturday.
Adding to the tough task of playing so much football in a short period is that Maryville is next on the schedule the following Friday.
Add it up. And it's three games in nine days.
"Never had it. Hope I never have it again. Probably shouldn't have had it this time," Rankin said when asked about the schedule.
But as Rankin put it. Alcoa was "backed into a corner."
It was either play Thursday-Saturday-Friday, or only have a nine-game regular season. The latter wasn't much of an option.
"We felt like we would be cheated if we played only nine games. We wanted ten games," offensive lineman Andrew Pierce said.
"Most of my decisions are based on what's best for the kids. They wanted this. They wanted to play ten games. I understand that," Rankin said.
"It's not basketball or baseball where you play 30. You only get ten. It's important to have ten. I did what I felt was best for the kids"
Players said they have heard criticisms about playing so much at the start of the year, but they don't seem to mind. The more football, the better.
"I think we'll be alright because we're in great shape," linebacker Jake Warwick said.
"Coaches stay on us a lot and work us real hard in practice. I think we'll be mentally prepared and I think we'll do a great job."
Rankin said he won't push the team has hard this week. He said he and his staff have talked extensively about how to handle the situation, that a 'plan' is in place. Whether that plan works or not, he doesn't know, adding that he's never coached for a situation like this.
"We're doing something that probably isn't real smart on my part, but we're gonna make it work."

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review: Atonementby Jim Garner at . Updated at . Comments
Was I the only one who was hoping we would find out more about May's past this week?
I was a bit disappointed because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 Episode 9 did a great job of scaring me to the point of needing a change of pants, but fizzled when it came to any real meat and potatoes about May's history.
The multitide of stories about May to pull Skye's leg were well done, but it was a letdown after Coulson told the "real" version that we didn't get anything else.
I was expecting May to fill in the gaps when she talked to Tobias and Hannah about what Tobais had done. However, while her words were moving, they didn't accomplish this task.
You can't undo what's been done, that will be with you forever. But trying hold to this life, clinging to the person you thought could be, that's hell.Melinda
But it could really apply to anyone in any situation. It wasn't until she was talking to Coulson after everything was finished that we learned it was what Coulson thought she needed to hear.
Coulson: What did you say to her?
Melinda: The same words you said to me in Bahrain.
- Permalink: The same words you said to me in Bahrain.
That was it? What happened to the girl in Bahrain? What did May do? How many men did she really take out? Would it kill Jed Whedon to include a flashback just once?
Given that it was pretty clear that May pulled the prank on Fitz at the end, I'm hoping that she opens up a little more and we can get some real facts about why she has her nickname and what the event was that took her out of the field.
On the flip side of that small disappointment, I'm thrilled that it looks like they are carving a niche for Skye to fit into. It seems to be a natural fit for the non-SHIELD trained member of the team to be the one most comfortable understanding and dealing with the troubled souls that the team finds.
Here's hoping they can bring her up to speed quickly so she can start pulling her own weight.
Well... so she can pull her own weight and we can find out what the "Intake Assessment and Evaluation" process gets renamed to.
I have a sneaky feeling that much like the big reveal in Iron Man that "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division" turned out to S.H.I.E.L.D., the assessment program is really something else we already know under another name.
Overall, it was a well written episode that might have felt more at home being aired around Halloween rather than Thanksgiving.
Still, we did get to see that Ward and May have continued their arrangement and that should lead to some interesting events down the crime-solving road.

Good episode. It's not that I don't like Ward and May together I've just never pictured them together and It's going to take more than both of them have the same type of troubled past I think they need to have more because right now they aren't anything close to a couple right now they're just friends with benefits. I thought we were going to learn about Mays past but we didn't learn much. Fitz trying to prank Skye and the prank he set scary all of them when they were in a hurry was funny. If Fitz has said are you my mummy when he was wearing the mask it would be funny but also kind of creepy because that was the scariest episode of doctor who I've seen it totally freaked me out. Can't wait till the next episode it looks really good.
Am I the only one who likes Skye,but if Ward and May are to be an item,and Fitz and Simmons then thy need to bring someone in for Skye,I'm mean she has to have someone!
Sky is not my favorite character - ok, she is my least favorite out of the 6, but I don't hate her; and I think she brings something to the show as she is like us (the audience) in not knowing much about S.H.I.E.L.D. and their procedures. I don't like the idea of her and Ward (as it seemed it was going to lead to at the start), so I was actually happy with the pairing of Ward and May. But I also don't want this turning into the type of show where everyone pairs off and FitzSimmons are the obvious "meant to be" couple.
Unlike a number of commenters here, I really like the Skye character. She can be annoying at times but she also has the greatest potential for change of all of the characters on the show and, most important of all, she's a real cutie. I really like this show and I am looking forward to the rest of the season. I care about all of the characters to some degree and I am curious where the writers will take them.
I actually like Skye as well, my only comment against her was that too many early episodes were "Skye-centric" and we needed to see more of the team.
i do not think the details of what happened in Bahrain matter that much … no matter how many people died / were saved it had an effect on May … and going from "prank" to "legend" to the mere facts made it more forceful … seems that "fuzzy" used to be "warm" as well … May is a "silent one" … some day she will open about Bahrain and tell it with her own words … just not today … this show is a 20+ episode per season … with many more seasons if we are lucky … i like a relatively slow pacing for the background stories … episode was great going from funny to scary … i just wish fitz had said "are you my mummy ?" when he was wearing the mask …
I agree with r, all Skye does is whine, whine whine, look/listen to me. Either get rid of this character or have it mature and become part of the team. Ward and May are awesome. Fitz and Simmons are entertaining, Coulson. Humanoid or clone is great. Skye-I hate whenever she opens her mouth.
This series showed a lot of promise, at least from seeing the first two or three chapters - but it rapidly descended into the depressing muck of Standard Predictably-Lame Television with the "need" to highlight the Human Dimension (i.e. turn it into a soap opera). All of those longing glances between Skye and Pretty Boy in the initial episodes were annoying enough, but I knew that the fun was over when she turned up naked in her old friend's motel bed. These characters, for the most part, supposedly possess a superior intellectual and physical discipline - so it seems more than just a little bit incongruous to have them endlessly getting drunk, lusting for and copulating amongst each other. (I understand the desire to rope in as many viewers as possible, and that there are millions out there whose mental focus rarely strays above their waist, but one can still hope!) The writers also overdid the weekly glaring "hints" about Coulson actually having died and been cloned, and Agent May's terminal scowl quickly grew tiresome; I realize that it is (supposedly) the sign of "a strong woman" to have PMS every single day of the year, but hers must even be annoying the female viewers by this point. And now we are expected to embrace the idea that she is a practical jokester, as well? Puh-leeze. Stick a fork in me, I'm done with this pathetic yawn-fest!
I'm sorry but I find Skye really annoying and bratty. I just feel like she doesn't want to actually learn anything, she just wants to go in there and tell everyone else how to do things and wants to be told EVERYTHING. She doesn't want to earn anything.

In 1906, the case of a young black man from Chattanooga, Tennessee, dramatically changed the state and federal court systems as we know them today. Indeed, it redefined the practice of law. The amazing story of Ed Johnson wrongfully accused and convicted of a crime he did not commit, and his two lawyers who took his case to the Supreme Court, and won a stay of execution (the first time such a stay was ever petitioned for and granted). The Chattanooga sheriff and local citizenry felt the Court had no business interfering in a state matter and tragically took the matter into their own hands. Ed Johnson was lynched. The Supreme Court was outraged. What happened next is an amazing series of events that established law and set precedents still followed today.
Listen to author Mark Curriden's spellbinding presentation and then join a distinguished panel of lawyers judges and an historian for the discussion afterwards that will address the constitutional, ethical, and legal questions raised by the case and how it is very pertinent to us today including:
Fourteenth Amendment rights under the due process and equal protection clause Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court: is there any limit? Race, racism and the law- a historical perspective of Supreme Court cases Access to legal representation Civil Rights The impact of lynching on the U.S. justice system The lawyer's ethical duty to a client Difficult issues involved in representing politically unpopular clients and causes. State v. Federal Jurisdiction. Independence of the Judiciary

Undoubtedly, "MIKEY" GARCIA is one of the best featherweights in the world, but wants to be the best, and so is working as ever for the biggest fight of his career that will take place on JANUARY 19when he takes on Mexican Orlando "Siri" Salido in New York.
"I am aware that I will fight the best featherweight champion of the world and that is why I am working as ever, because I know I have to be one hundred percent to beat Orlando Salido," said Mikey Garcia of Oxnard, California.
The Theater at Madison Square Garden was festive attire whenTOP RANK present the first major feature of 2013 boxing on Saturday 19 January, on a billboard with three world championship bouts.
The Mexican Orlando "Siri" Salido expose his world featherweight championship of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) before the world number one ranked Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia of Oxnard, California.
"Salido has proven with facts and win is the best, but I have the ability and strength to win experience and I will show next January 19 in New York," said Garcia, who is trained by his father, Eduardo Garcia and his brother former world champion Robert Garcia.
In the other title fights Gennady "GGG" Golovkin expose his middleweight crown of the World Boxing Association (WBA) to "King" Gabriel Rosado of Philadelphia and Puerto Rican ROMAN "ROCKY" MARTINEZ will present his super featherweight crown OMB against Mexican Juan Carlos Burgos.
The three fights will be televised on HBO program like "Boxing After Dark" beginning at 9:45 pm (local time) and recorded at the same time on the Pacific coast.
This card is presented by Top Rank and K2 Promotions in association with Tecate and Madison Square Garden, the tickets are priced at $ 200, $ 100, $ 50 and $ 25, are available now and can be purchased at the box office at Madison Square Garden, at all Ticketmaster outlets, by phone at 866-858-0008 and online at WWW.TICKETMASTER.COM or WWW.THEGARDEN.COM .
"New York is a very important place in the boxing world and this is a great opportunity for me to show my talent to many people who know boxing," Garcia said.
This will be the second time that Garcia fight in New York, and fought in October 2011 in this scenario.
"I enjoyed the experience of fighting in New York and now back in the main event. I feel very grateful to have this opportunity and I will not miss," said Garcia.
Both his father and his brother Mikey trust that is ready for this challenge.
"We know that Salido is a strong fighter and experimenting, but Mikey has thoroughly prepared and ready to face this challenge. Mikey is a very smart fighter and knows what he needs to do to win this fight that I have no doubt, "said Don Eduardo.
"Personally I think Mikey is a resourceful fighter who knows how to use them in the ring. Fighter is a very calm, very intelligent and prepared to fight and win the world championship," said Robert Garcia, arguably the best coach in 2012.
Garcia and his team will travel to New York on Monday, January 14 for the expected function.

Notre Dame welcomes the latest crop of early enrollees to campus on Monday – a group that includes five recruits at five different positions from five different states. A group that also features five potential future stars for the Fighting Irish.
Once a practice that was new to Notre Dame, the Irish have now had seven years of early enrollees with great results both on and off the field. Early enrollment has allowed some recruits to see the field early in their careers – see Jimmy Clausen, Armando Allen, and TJ Jones – while it has allowed others like Everett Golson to settle into college and adapt to the academic rigors at Notre Dame.
This year's group was set to include a sixth member until Alex Anzalone pulled an 11th hour switch and enrolled at Florida last week. Even with the loss of Anzalone, this year's class of early enrollees is an extremely talented group of incoming freshman all of whom have the ability to have great college careers wearing the blue and gold for Notre Dame.
So, without further ado, here is the 2013 crop of early enrollees for the Fighting Irish.
Steve Elmer – OL – 6'6″, 305 lbs
Elmer was the first recruit to commit to this year's class, doing so in September 2011 at the start of his junior year of high school. Along the way, Elmer has picked up accolades and awards and never wavered in his decision to join the Fighting Irish. Monday, he becomes one of the first recruits to start his Notre Dame career along with the other four early enrollees. Elmer is a big, talented kid and a consensus 4-star recruit.
Elmer likely projects as an offensive tackle for the Irish and could be called upon to provide some depth at tackle for Notre Dame in the fall already depending on what kind of work he puts in with Paul Longo in the Notre Dame weight room this winter. As with most Notre Dame offensive line recruits, however, Elmer has some versatility and could play other positions along the line as well.
It is never an ideal situation to count on freshmen for playing time along either the offensive or defensive line, but when they enroll early and get a full off-season conditioning and spring practice under their belts before the rest of the freshmen sets foot on campus in the summer, you have a much better scenario. Even if Elmer lives in the weight room between now and the summer though, it would be ideal to have the luxury of red-shirting (or the Notre Dame equivalent of red-shirting) all offensive linemen. The depth up front on the offensive line, however, has taken a hit with some transfers and injuries so the Irish just aren't quite there yet.
Notre Dame will have two open spots on along the line and a number of players coming back from injury in 2013. Injuries mounted up so much for the Irish up front that they were limited with what they could do practice wise leading up to the BCS Championship – a situation that didn't help matters last Monday night.
Elmer took home the Anthony Munoz Lineman of the Year Award at this year's US Army All American Bowl and selected the Irish over Michigan, Stanford, and Wisconsin.

Irish Fans United
Rich commented on February 15th, 2013 at 1:02 pm
Everything seems to be coming together for ND. Great season and now an outstanding recruiting class. Only time will tell if this class will come through with enough wins to keep the ND faithful satisfied. That means at least 9 per season. Less than 9 does not cut it here in South Bend. Just ask Coach Kelly. His 8 win seasons were not going to get him another multi-year bigger bucks contract. But he managed to bring home the bacon with the 12 win season. Even the ND fans could have to complaints! Now wait a minute, they did get crushed by the Tide, but 12-1 and back in the hunt for the big prize should at least put the Irish wolves at bay for a while. What happens this coming year will tell you if the 12-0 was a fluke or the real deal. I happen to think it was for real. College football needs the Irish to be at or near the top. They are just like the Yankees. When the Yankees are winning baseball is good. The Irish do the same for college football. The haters have something to talk about when ND is down and they can complain an awful lot when the Irish are winning. Its a no lose situation. I'm one Irish fan that cannot wait for the season to start. Go Irish!

Without the benefit of medical insurance, a Domino's team member made a fourth doctor's appointment to treat a serious 'sinus infection' that was not getting better, in spite of the use of required antibiotics. The constant ringing and pain in his ear, severe vertigo and a 30-pound weight loss in just six weeks had become unbearable. Following three prior misdiagnoses, the team member was hospitalized and discovered to be suffering a blood clot between layers of his brain as well an abscess in the bone behind his ear. Through the support of its donors, the Partners Foundation provided a mortgage, utility and a car payment allowing the team member recovery time, and lessening some financial pressure following his hospital release.
The Foundation was contacted by a general manager on behalf of a dedicated Domino's family in grief and despair. The employee and his son, both Domino's team members, were in shock and disbelief at the sudden loss of their wife and mother. Three weeks earlier, she had been hospitalized after suffering an aneurism. While hospitalized, she had a heart attack and then a fatal stroke. Without medical or life insurance, the family now faced the emotional burden with added financial stress. The generosity of Partners supporters provided a substantial payment toward the funeral expenses. The very grateful team members expressed their sincere appreciation for the help.
A Domino's franchise owner called on Partners when one of her long-term team members passed away following a sudden illness, leaving four children all under the age of ten. The only time the team member had missed any significant work time was for the delivery of her children. Acting as an advocate for the family, the franchise owner voluntarily paid the majority of the funeral expense. The Foundation contributed the leftover balance, which allowed the sorrowful family some financial relief.

Recipe by ginampls
"A traditional New Orleans-style recipe for their famous beignets! Grab a cafe au lait and you're set!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
2 1/4 teaspoons
active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
1 cup
evaporated milk
7 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
1 quart
vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup
confectioners' sugar
This is a wonderful recipe. The dough just gets better as you let it sit in the fridge. Because it makes so much, you can just pull out what you want to cook, punch the rest down and put it back in the fridge. You can also make cinnamon rolls out of this recipe as well. Roll it out into a rectangle, spread butter on it, sprinkle it with cinnamon/sugar mixture. I also fine chopped some apples and pecans and put in it as well. Roll up along the long side, pinch and seal the edge, then cut into inch wide rounds. Place cut side down on parchment paper and let them rise. Pop them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. Mix 2 T melted butter, 1 t. vanilla, 1 T milk and enough powdered sugar to make a thick spread and drizzle it on the rolls while they are still hot. Yum!
I'm from New Orleans and have been eating Beignets all my life. This recipe is not even close. This was like bread covered in Powder Sugar. I don't know if I did something wrong, but I was not pleased with the outcome. Gave 1 star only because required to in order to post review.

This recipe is now a family tradition for xmas morning! Of course...it is going to be made way more often than once a year...I'd be hard pressed to pick out which was Cafe Du Monde's (fresh in the cafe) and which was this recipe in a taste test. There is a STEP MISSING from the recipe and it is crucial!! After you have allowed the dough to rise punch out the dough flatten and then allow to rise a SECOND time...only needs to be for an hour. This will ensure the beignets are full and fluffy inside and not flat and well...not fluffy inside. Cheers, Dane
I surprised my husband with a batch of warm beignets. He was very impressed! The beignets reminded me of the ones from the original Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. I didn't feel the flavor was too bland as some readers suggested, but it does require more powdered sugar then the recipe calls for. I'll probably add a little vanilla to enhance the flavor next time. Sorry I missed the hint about putting the powdered sugar in a brown bag. I had powdered sugar all over my counter and floor. Definitely a keeper! P.S. Since I was unable to use all the dough in one batch, I stored the remainder in the refrigerator overnight. The second batch of beignets came out just as crisp and moist as the first. day.
Didn't have evaporated milk, so I did the cardinal sin, and replaced it with sweetened condensed.
Turned out beautifully. Just needed to get the chicory coffee out. :)
Great recipe.
Excellent recipe that everyone from small children to grandparents love. I SUBSTITUTED BUTTER FOR SHORTENING because they have found that trans fats (hydrogenated oils like shortening and margarine) are unhealthy.
Otherwise, they were excellent, easy, and kept in the fridge for about a week as a ball of dough. This recipe yields a lot more than 10 servings, I think.
These remind me somewhat of Funnel Cake, these are less messy and very good. Great with a little added vanilla extract and sprinkled with cinnnamon/sugar! Could pipe in French Cream Filling or Almond Custard Filling found on this site (fruit/fruit fillings would be good also)
Yum!! This was so easy. I didn't refrigerate this dough at all and it was still easy to work with. I was able to inject creme and jelly filling in these too because they puff nicely. If you have a doughnut cutter, roll the dough to about 1/2 inch, they make great doughnuts too.

Eurocom's 17.3" X7200 Panther 2.0 Gaming Notebook Has HDMI 1.4 Input
The new X7200 Panther 2.0 is no different. It's a powerful new laptop that just so happens to be the world's first notebook with an HDMI 1.4 input port. HDMI 1.4 is the latest version of the protocol, which fully supports 3D. The Panther 2.0 can be customized in pretty much every way imaginable, but the company suggests using a 6-core Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition or a Xeon 5600 Series processor to really feel the speed.
Customers can choose from a variety of NVIDIA GPUs (GTX 480M, GTX 470M or GTX 460M single or dual/SLI operation and Quadro FX series card), so the only limits on how high your frame rates will climb is your budget. It also supports up to 3.25TB of storage across four physical hard drives (available in RAID 0/1/5/10) and up to 24GB of DDR3-1600 memory.
The HDMI 1.4 output and input means that you could actually plug a Blu-ray player or gaming console into the notebook and use it's internal LCD for playback. Talk about flexibility. And since it has a massive 17.3" panel, you won't be lacking for screen real estate. Pricing will vary wildly depending on your configuration, but you should be able to start customizing your own starting immediately.
EUROCOM X7200 Panther 2.0 is the world's first notebook with an HDMI 1.4 Input port!
Eurocom is the world's first notebook manufacturer to offer an HDMI 1.4 Input port in a notebook. Eurocom is currently offering HDMI 1.4 I/O port in the new Panther 2.0 Mobile Workstation.

2) HDMI 1.4 Specifications
A major innovation with the Panther 2.0 is the introduction of an HDMI 1.4 input port, making the Panther 2.0 the first to have this feature.

- HDMI 1.4 incorporates a dedicated Ethernet Channel enabling high speed, bi-directional networking at up to 100 Mb/sec. This consolidates video, audio and data in a single cable.
- HDMI 1.4 has added an Audio Return Channel which enables a device to send audio data upstream to an A/V receiver, thus eliminating the need for an S/PDIF audio connection. LipSync functionality ensures the audio stays in sync with the video.
- Transfers video in 4k x 2k Resolution (4096x2160p24). This adds support for extremely high video resolutions, 4000 lines wide by 2000 lines high. Putting your home theatre system on par with cinema projectors.
- HDMI 1.4 introduces a new micro connector for small portable devices, which allows cell phones, cameras and other small devices the ability to transfer video just like any other video device.
3) Benefits of HDMI 1.4 Input in the EUROCOM Panther 2.0

However, Eurocom is the first to provide both HDMI out and HDMI in 1.4 ports in EUROCOM Panther 2.0 and offer this via Modular HDMI interface allowing for upgradeability to future HDMI standards and ensures a long lifespan of the notebook.

This model starts at $2,631US with a GTX285M,6gb of CAS9 1333 DDR3,Intel Core i7 930,320gb HDD and "no" wireless card.
There's a 1yr standard warranty.
Adding an Intel WiFi 6300 will add $101 to the cost.
A 120hz display is also an option that has no price mentioned.
The Asus G53JW and G73JW are lokking better and better.
BTW,the G73JW is now shipping and has HDMI 1.4 also.
Yeah, I also looked into their website all the configurations that this model comes in. I'll have to admit, I'm impressed. running four SSD's in raid 0 on a laptop, thats pretty insane. and running as server CPU on your lap as well. The only thing I would worry about would be how hot it would get on your lap.
I just upgraded the Realtek Wireless that came in my LG X140 netbook with the Intel Ultimate N 6300.
The card is simple to swap but adding the 3rd antena was the hard part.The antenas are on both sides of the LCD.The 3rd was placed on top.
The local LG service center charged me about $42(current exchange rate) for the parts and labor.
The difference is quite a bit.
I now get excellent connecting throughout my home.where it was spotty with the Realtek.

"This was great for dinner tonight. I used rib eyes since they were on sale and swapped the tomatoes for summer squash in the ratatouille, again a sale and preference thing. It was great! I love recipies like this that use "method" cooking and allow each to customize. I highly recommend this meal as a B, L, or D. ""
