Game Time: Longhorns & Notre Dame -- The Last Two Independents
Irish & Longhorns, together again |
For 123 years, the adjective "independent" has been as intertwined with Notre Dame football as the word "Catholic" has been to describe the university at large. Over the years it's manifested itself in the form of the old barnstorming-style scheduling that the team employed in the early days of Knute Rockne to the more modern-day decisions like breaking off from the CFA in the late `80's and choosing to sign an exclusive contract with NBC to televise all Notre Dame home games.
If you don't understand what the importance of college football independence, I actually don't begrudge you at all. It probably means you didn't go to the school, and in light of the recent tremors in the college football landscape, it probably means you're a practical thinker. The college football landscape is about to change. How drastically it changes has now been boiled down to one question -- is Notre Dame ready to forfeit its football independence and join the Big Ten?
2.) Pilfer Nebraska and/or Missouri as its 12th member
3.) Pilfer some combination of Nebraska, Missouri, Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, and Rutgers to go to 14 or 16 teams
The thinking is if the Big Ten lands Notre Dame, they're happy with that and would cease talks with Nebraska and Missouri (and everyone else). Notre Dame hits all the Big Ten sweet spots -- geography, tradition, built-in rivalries, academic reputation, cash cow. (Yes, that list was in ascending order of importance.)
The thinking is with no Big Ten available, Missouri and Nebraska would settle back in with the Big 12 and try and act like nothing ever happened -- kind of like when you get caught flirting with someone else by your significant other. "C'mon Dan Beebe, you know that the Big Ten could never make us as happy as you do!"
With Nebraska and Missouri securely in the fold, all of this talk of the Big 12 South migrating west to the Pac-10 would die because ultimately the power schools in the Big 12 (read: Texas) want the Big 12 to remain intact, start their own network, and bank $20 million per year without having to travel to Pullman, WA. The Pac-10, desirous of getting to 12 teams to stage its conference title game, might then turn its attention to Utah, BYU, or perhaps Boise State (down here in Texas, who really cares?).
In other words, if Notre Dame opts to go to the Big Ten, what once looked like armageddon devolves into a regional skirmish between the Pac-10 and the Mountain West/WAC, which for Big 12 fans and residents would be like a falling out between a semi-distant aunt and uncle that you talk to once every couple years -- it's not really on our radar screen anymore. It's too bad, but life goes on.
Now, I graduated from Notre Dame in 1991, and while my net worth is not nearly enough to get me truly inside the figurative room with the people in South Bend pulling the trigger on this decision, I know enough of the dynamics at work to give Big 12 fans a Cliffs Notes rundown of the key players and forces involved in the decision.
He's smarter than you |
Second, get to know this guy -- he is Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins. He was named president of the school on April 30, 2004 and within eight months Tyrone Willingham was fired as head football coach. He also invited Barack Obama to speak at Notre Dame's graduation in 2009 despite heavy protest from those within the Catholic church (because of Obama's pro-choice views). My point? Dude likes football a lot, he's not afraid to make a controversial decision, and the Tyrone Willingham firing was not racist. He was just a shitty football coach. Period. (Someday I'll let it go. Today is not that day.)
So those are the two most important guys on the Notre Dame side -- two alums, two sports guys, two guys not afraid to make a swift decision.
For those who think it's a complete "no brainer" for Notre Dame to join the Big Ten, it's not that easy. Ultimately, it may be the right thing to do, but there are factors that either (a) both sides must find compromise on and/or (b) Notre Dame would have to come to grips with. A short list of those items:

Write a ReviewBeautiful
By Loretta A. from Clackamas, OR on Apr 15, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I was drawn to this faucet because of the finish. I couldn't find the copper tone in any other brand. Looks great. Blends well with my cabinet color. Would have rated excellent if I knew how well the finish will last. My other faucets have a lifetime warranty. This is 10 years. The finish has no warranty. The instructions indicate protect with periodical carnauba waxing. Neither the store nor the manufacturer could narrow down what wax would be best. There is a big selection of wax on the store shelf. I bought one and am hoping for the best. It is beautiful.

Best Facet I have ever had
By Vern S. from Massillon, OH on Jan 21, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The Facet installed easily and operated even better. Turns off and on in less than a quarter of turn. When turning the water off it easily stops the water flow before lever hits the end of travel. I am impressed with this faucet.

John C. Lincoln Breast Health and Research Center 19646 N. 27th Ave., Suite 205 Phoenix, Arizona Map and directions
Call 623-780-HOPE (4673) to schedule an appointment for breast ultrasound in Phoenix today
At the John C. Lincoln Breast Health and Research Center, high-frequency breast ultrasound is an important tool for diagnosing breast cancer. We use GE Healthcare's premium ultrasound system — the Logiq E9 — to capture breast images with stunning quality. Ultrasound helps us pinpoint where to perform needle biopsies, as well.
Yet, as our medical staff explains in this interview, ultrasound is ultimately a supporting diagnostic tool. Mammography remains the leading method to detect cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.
What is breast ultrasound?
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of breast tissues. A handheld tool called a transducer is passed over the breast. The sound waves are sent to a computer, which translates signals into an image.
Breast ultrasound works together with mammography to help evaluate areas of concern. In other words, breast ultrasound is a supporting diagnostic tool. Ultrasound is used in addition to mammography, not instead of mammography.
Unfortunately, some women are afraid of having a mammogram, because they have heard stories about how painful it can be. This is not true. Perhaps they hear that breast ultrasound can serve as a substitute for mammography. This is not true, either.
What is true is this: In digital mammography, compressing the breast is tremendously helpful in finding breast calcifications — things the size of grains of salt — when breast cancer is at its earliest, most treatable stage.
How are mammography and breast ultrasound used in concert with each other?
A mammogram is an X-ray, and a breast ultrasound is a sound wave.
Breast ultrasound helps us diagnose what is found in a mammogram. While a mammogram might show a lump on a monitor, ultrasound will help us determine the contents of a lump — whether it's a solid mass or a fluid-filled, benign cyst.
As we roll the transducer over the breast, the sound wave penetrates into the tissue. If it hits a mass that contains fluid, the sound wave reacts one way. If it hits a solid mass, it reacts another way. That is how we know what is inside the lump.
Why else might breast ultrasound be useful?
Ultrasound is also a vitally important for finding some abnormalities that are not found on mammography — especially in dense, fibrocystic breasts. But these types of findings are comparatively few in number. Again, ultrasound is used as a supporting modality.

If you still don't have digital cable, you probably have seen the big analog symbol at the top of your TV. They constantly remind us about getting a converter box. However, my girlfriend and I decided it would be better to just by a new TV. So we went out looking this weekend and ended up buying an LCD TV (I'll review it later this week).
Anyways, here are a few things I learned from the whole experience:
1. Best Buy Employees Are Annoying
In my opinion, Best Buy has gotten even worse than it used to be about their employees constantly asking you if you need help. Maybe they are trying even harder now that Circuit City is gone…who knows.
Yesterday, I managed to get 6 or 7 employees to come by me and ask if I wanted some help with something. And this happened in less than 20 minutes and I only looked at one section of the store. So all of the employees came to me.
If that wasn't enough, I even managed to get two Best Buy/DirectTV employees to come over and offer me some information on their new "pilot" program. Luckily, I lost them at "neither" when they asked if I had Satellite or Cable.
2. Target Has Some Weird Sale Prices…
Another thing I learned when shopping for TVs is that Target likes to "cover up" the real prices. Or at least that's what it seems. Almost every television had a sale sticker stuck on it, but a quick look under the flap revealed a price sticker that had the same price, sometimes even less. And these stickers were stuck right on the shelf so they were definitely not temporary stickers.
And the TV that we ended up buying had a sticker under the flap that said $299.99. Their was no actual price so we had to ask for help…guess what? They decided it's now $329.99. Even after talking to the departments manager and the store manager, they still wouldn't match the price it was supposed to be.
3. TV Stands Are Pretty Important
Something I quickly learned after getting home with the new TV, is that my girlfriend and I didn't have a place to put it. It's pretty easy to buy a TV and totally forget about the TV stand. Luckily, Wal-Mart had a few for less than 40 bucks and it actually looks pretty cool.
4. Cables Are A Ripoff
After buying a new TV, I knew that I was going to need some cables to hook it up right. Specifically, an HDMI cable for the DVD player and some sort of cable for my computer. So I looked at Target and Best Buy, only to see that most of their HDMI cables were more than 50 bucks. Ouch! Worse yet, I needed a DVI to HDMI cable for my MacBook and Best Buy had one for $100!
So instead, I hopped online and did some browsing on eBay. Next thing I knew, I had ordered a DVI to HDMI cable for less than 7 bucks. Sure, a lot of people will argue that the cable is far less quality but I just don't believe it. Especially when it comes to a 22 inch LCD TV. How much different can the quality really be? So the lesson I learned is to buy them online and save a boat load of money.
5. Paid TV Is A Waste Of Money
For the past 8 months or so, I have been cable free. Relying on bunny ears to get all the of the basic channels. But the thing is, almost every show I watch is on free TV anyway. Lost, CSI, Big Bang Theory, even Two and Half Men. All free of charge.
And now that I am using an HDTV antenna, most of these channels come in HD with no static what-so-ever. They look better than a DVD and cost nothing. There are even a few extra HD channels that the TV is picking up now. So now I have no worries about ever getting cable again.
Have you purchased a new TV lately? What was the experience like?

Carl Grace
Carl Grace has been an artist his entire life. He started out drawing on napkins while seated at the counter of the 50's diner where his mother worked. Carl's artistic style was influenced early by a youth spent in placement homes, camps, jail, and prison. Every moment of free time he would spend drawing.
Originally from the greater Los Angeles area, Carl began his journey in 1998 with a tattoo apprenticeship under Boston John at Skin Grafix in Arcadia, California. Looking at Carl's artistic talent, it is easy to assume his skill would translate seamlessly into tattoos. "The truth is my first tattoo was a hack job. I tried it, I did it, and I sucked." After bouncing around the West Coast party scene, Carl pledged to live a sober lifestyle on November 21, 2004 and went head first turning art into a career. Unfortunately, his dream of being a professional artist was delayed a few years. After his release from prison in 2008 and subsequent parole discharge in 2009, he immediately moved to Tucson, Arizona to begin working with fellow tattoo artist Joshua Hagen at Sacred Art Tattoo. It was working at Sacred Art Tattoo with Joshua where these two artists really began to come into their own as professionals.
Becoming a name in the tattoo industry demands hard work, sacrifice, and time. Since 2009, Carl has attended over 100 tattoo conventions as an artist and has been a featured guest artist in many tattoo shops around the country. He won his first award at the Tucson Tattoo Exposition in 2010 and continues to collect awards at many conventions in which he participates. Carl's tattoo work has also been published in tattoo magazines, including full spreads in Freshly Inked and Skin & Ink.
In 2011, Carl moved to Las Vegas to join the team at Seven Tattoo Studio. Together, the five artists there work together to push each other artistically and continually strive to inspire though art. "Tattooing is only one of my mediums" says Carl. "I constantly find myself wanting to do more and more with art. Different projects turn up all the time and it is very rare to say no. Life is too short to pass up an opportunity to make a lasting impression."

ST. AMANT - Firefighters said an elderly man awoken by a fire blowing up bottles of oxygen managed to crawl to safety early this morning.
Members of the St. Amant Volunteer Fire Department were called to the home on Brignac Road around 4 a.m. Assistant Chief Derek LeBlanc said the fire destroyed the home.
LeBlanc said the 84-year-old homeowner got up early to cook jambalaya, and went to sleep with a pot of grease warming on the stove. The grease caught fire and spread quickly, and the man woke up when the fire blew oxygen bottles he had stored in the house.
LeBlanc said the man was able to crawl out of the house and get to a neighor's, where he called 911. He was treated at a local hospital for smoke inhalation.
"This man that had lung problems, that was previously on oxygen, was able to revert to his childhood lessons and learnings of stop, drop and roll, was able to crawl out and find his way out of his house, is just tremendous," said LeBlanc.
"As far as I know, he's ok," said Melvin Delatte, the man's brother-in-law. "But it was a terrible loss. He lost his wife a while back and it's hard to see something like this."
Firefighters contacted the Red Cross to help the homeowner in the wake of the fire.

@anon134353 post 6: You're getting half the story! Read a metabolic pathway chart for omega 6 then you'll find out they make the body's most powerful anti-inflammatory (PGE1) and vasodilator (prostacyclin), much stronger than omega 3. Understand what the chemicals do. Telling us about carbon atoms and chains is meaningless mumbo jumbo. People want to know what they do. People need to connect the dots.
Brian Peskin connects the dots as no one before him has. He's not even a doctor, yet he's lecturing them and nutritionists such as yourself all over the world. He is revolutionizing nutrition but people are obstinate. Like you, he is using science. In fact, his motto is "Science, not opinion". You did not provide all the science.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Sinsinawa Dominican Congregation of the Most Holy Rosary of the Order of Preachers is a Catholic religious institute for women. The mother house is located in Sinsinawa, Wisconsin in the Diocese of Madison.
Sinsinawa Mound has been called the "Hill of Grace". Since 1847, more than 3,200 women have ascended its slopes to take their vows as Sinsinawa Dominicans, then departed to preach and teach the Gospel. Today, the Mound still serves as the motherhouse for more than 500 sisters and more than 240 associates.
Sinsinawa Dominican women are called to proclaim the Gospel through the ministry of preaching and teaching to participate in the building of a holy and just society.[1]
These Dominican Sisters are associated with Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois.
The Sinsinawa Dominican Congregation of the Most Holy Rosary was founded on Aug. 4, 1847, by Sisters Seraphina and Ermeline, along with Father Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, O.P.
Vision 2006–11:
In a world graced by the Holy Spirit:
and yet wounded by divisions, exploitation, and oppression, we are impelled by God's tender mercy to commit ourselves in partnership with others to seek and foster right relationships among all of God's people and with the earth that sustains us.[1]
Sinsinawa Dominican sisters are dedicated to preaching and teaching the Gospel, believing that at the heart of ministry is relationship. The sisters are committed to participating with others to build a holy and just society in the United States and abroad through ministry, or service to others. They are called to a wide variety of ministries: some are teachers, counselors, and caregivers. Others are doctors, lawyers, and pastoral ministers. Currently, their missions outside the U.S. include Mexico, Bolivia, Guatemala, Italy, and Trinidad and Tobago.[2]

I'm 43 years old now. I've been in open source for about twenty years. I'm too old and burned out for much of what goes on in open source, and specifically Perl.
I'm tired of all the arguing.
I'm tired of the people who enjoy a back-and-forth debate about how communities should run, and want to spread that joy to people not involved in the original discussion.
I'm tired of seeing yet another clueless missive from someone claiming that we don't have to be nice to each other, because hey, we're all adults here. I'm tired of hearing that profanity in written communication doesn't matter because hey, it's just words, man.
I'm tired of those unable or unwilling to see outside their blinkered little world, and to think that others might think differently, and to think that their feelings might matter.
I'm tired of people who confuse being verbally abusive with "not getting along."
I'm tired of people who think that verbal abuse of another human is ever acceptable.
I'm tired of being made to witness verbal abuse as competition, where the abuser places more pride in his cleverness than any consideration of how the listener might hear it.
I'm tired of seeing cool new projects and realizing I will never use them, because I don't want to be associated with key members of the communities surrounding them.
I'm tired of having to delete comments on Perlbuzz because the commenters can't manage to make a point without slinging insults at those with whom they disagree.
I'm tired of having to walk away from sub-communities because of all of the above. The end result is I become more and more isolated from the rest of Perl.
That means less contribution, technical and otherwise, from me, and from the others who have shared the same concerns with me regarding their own contributions.
And it makes me sad that I feel my community slipping away. And it makes me sad that Perl loses because of it.
(Addendum: This is not a "screw you, I'm leaving." I'm certainly not leaving. Just describing what I see and how it affects me and other valuable members of the community who have been driven away. And to anyone asking "Give us specifics", they're besides the point. Discussion of specifics turns into a discussion of nothing but past specifics. The issues here are far larger than he-said-she-said. I also don't expect that individual people will change, but that we as community tolerate bad behavior less.)

Lumencor's proprietary light engines are excitation subsystems. They include:
- a maximum of six light sources
- mirrors to direct the light and filters to define the bandpass
- an adapter to efficiently couple the light to a bioanalytical instrument
The optics and mechanics of coupling are optimized for a fluorescence microscope, high content screener, gene expression chip reader or for a customized tool designed to meet an individual need. All these elements combined constitute a light engine.
Lumencor's light engine lifetime is on the order of 15,000 hours. That's usable hours, essentially no warm up time required.
Light engines operate via electronic "shutters" within the microsecond time scale and afford fast on/off & intensity control.
Spectra X Light Engine™
Lumencor now offers the spectral breadth of an arc lamp and the flexibility of a filter wheel in it's most powerful and comprehensive light engine design.
The SPECTRA X model has been released to afford the end user the ability to exchange single band pass filters within the light engine. These field replaceable filters mean Lumencor can offer as many as 21 different bandpasses for use within the visible spectrum. No moving parts reside in this SPECTRA model. Lumencor preserves performance in the form of cool, stable, robust, spectrally pure, powerful outputs and now allows the user to make his or her own choices about bandpass during use in the field. This additional flexibility allows individual users, core facilities and OEMs an adaptable solid state excitation subsystem on par with the flexibility of a filter wheel.
This product ships with six independent sources. A suite of seven filters, one for each color band, is included in the purchase. Additional filter paddles and filters may be purchased at any time to increase the range of bandpasses for the ensemble of sources within the light engine.
Each output in the optical train of the light engine remains aligned through filter exchanges, allowing the user to focus on their science and not the need to realign and maintain a light source.
Spectra Light Engine™
Lumencor's light engines are unique, solid state illuminators, ideally suited for use with fluorescence microscopes and bioanalytical instruments. SPECTRA light engines enhance overall microscope performance and reduce cost. Flexible designs provide as few as two and as many as seven color bands with a variety of delivery optics.
The SPECTRA is optimized for the most common fluors and fluorescent proteins used in bioanalysis today. Bright outputs cover the visible spectrum and beyond, with particularly impressive performance in the typically underserved visible spectral regions- green, yellow and red. The optically independent outputs are well suited for both live and fixed cell analysis. Bandwidths for any SPECTRA light engine may be tailored for specific spectral needs.
All outputs are optimized for high performance in terms of stable, durable, powerful, switchable light. Output power is independently selectable for each color band. Micro-second switching among color bands (5-10 kHz) is enabled electronically- eliminating all mechanical shuttering. SPECTRA light engines are the ideal choice for customers who wish to address unique spectral bands with independent electronic control in systems critically synchronized with camera exposure times.
SPECTRA light engines may be used with any major brand microscope, connecting via direct couple, liquid light guide or optical fiber. SPECTRA light engines are pre-aligned, require no maintenance, and need no bulb replacements
Sola SM Light Engine™
The SOLA SM light engine is a high performance illumination source that's as easy to operate as the light switch in your hallway. Powerful, solid state sources produce an intense spectrum of light from 380 to 680 nm, providing bright illumination of the visible wavelengths you need with no unwanted UV or Near IR to compromise your experiment.
Like all Lumencor light engines, the SOLA SM is extremely stable with less than 2% drift over 24 hours of continuous operation. Warmup time is essentially instantaneous, with stabilized output achieved in 1 second with the flip of a switch or a tap of the foot-pedal.
Simplicity of operation and stable, long-term use were primary goals of the SOLA SM light engine design. This is an arc lamp replacement that boasts all the advantages of solid-state sources. Why would anyone use an arc lamp when the SOLA SM produces more light with less power, requires no maintenance, generates very little heat and is highly efficient in a compact design? The SOLA SM light engine is an economical choice because bulbs don't need to be replaced, power consumption is low and the working lifetime of the product far exceeds that of a lamp.
Included with the SOLA SM is a foot-pedal switch, power cord and a 3 mm diameter liquid light guide. Not included are the dangerous doses of mercury and other hazardous materials found in metal halide and mercury bulbs which pollute our air, land and water.
While SOLA SM is very simple to operate, be assured it is also very powerful. Expect 3-4 watts of visible light pumped through the light guide, giving ample intensity for the most demanding microscope applications.
Sola SE Light Engine™
Lumencor offers a true arc lamp replacement with the release of the SOLA SE Light Engine. The SOLA SE produces continuous white light from 380 to 680 nm and is suitable for imaging all the most common fluorophores and fluorescent proteins.
SOLA SE offers the end user an affordable solid state alternative as an arc lamp replacement. The SOLA SE light engine can be controlled by every microscopy software in the marketplace. It offers unprecedented access to solid state illumination at a price comparable to most metal halide light sources used in a host of life science equipment including fluorescence microscopes.
Lumencor preserves performance in the form of powerful, cool, stable, robust, UV- and IR-free light and now allows the user simple integration with existing filter cubes and hardware configurations. This additional flexibility allows individual users, core facilities and OEMs a superior solid state excitation subsystem. Power exceeds most spectral bands of the arc lamps while cost and wavelength range are on par with traditional arc lamps.
Customers will never again have to worry about arc lamp alignment, installation and replacement. The expected lifetime of the SOLA SE is greater than 20,000 hours. Short warm-up time and superior stability mean these are all usable hours with highly reproducible output power. Units ship with a three year warranty covering any failures with the light engine including parts and labor.
The SOLA SE can be integrated with high end cameras. In so doing, they enable light blanking during frame readout. This prolongs sample life and minimizes photobleaching during sample illumination.

Oakland takes Rolando McClain
Posted By Lindsay Jones On April 22, 2010 @ 6:38 pm In NFL draft | No Comments
DOVE VALLEY — Plenty of the mock drafts out there had the Broncos taking Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain.
Well, the Broncos will get to see plenty of McClain in 2010 — only he'll be wearing silver and black.
The Raiders made perhaps the first surprise pick of the 2010 draft by taking McClain at No. 8 overall.
The Bills then took about a minute to take Clemson RB CJ Spiller at No. 9.

You can now leave a somewhat more "protected" mailing address by clicking on the Log On Mailing List Link from the Guestbook. It's quick and dirty (no apologies!) but at least the person's mailing address will not show up elsewhere. I've been concerned recently about having peoples mailing address on the Guestbook. One never knows. If you've left yours on it, I've removed it and added it to the mailing list manually.

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
On 60 acres five miles outside preppy Kennebunkport, Hidden Pond has a fantasy summer camp feel, with hand-painted wood signs pointing to a garden where you can pick vegetables or to a bike shed where you can borrow a retro cruiser for the mile ride to Goose Rocks Beach. The 14 one- and two-bedroom cottages, each by a different local interior designer, range from the playful Periwinkle (in sunshiney primary colors) to the classic Thank You (embroidered lobster pillows and an airy seafoam and powder blue New England aesthetic). All have generous kitchens, cozy porches, and gas fireplaces for chilly nights. A central lodge functions as the official clubhouse, with a simple rectangular pool and a fire pit where there's a nightly bonfire (singing optional). There's no restaurant, but cheerful staff can arrange a private chef, and there are weekly "Table on the Farm" dinners prepared by Kennebunkport chefs. Every morning, piping hot coffee and a canvas bag of fresh-baked pastries is left outside your door. The resort is blissfully relaxed, and cottages come with leisure essentials such as board games, martini shakers, books, and guitars.2009 Hot ListWhen to go: June, July, and August are the height of Maine vacation bliss, but the shoulder months of May and September are lovely and quiet.
Which room to book: Lazy Days has a comfortable shabby-chic feel, with artful tree branches carefully arranged on shelves and a well-edited collection of vintage books.

Some outfitters will agree to lock in current pricing, saving you money should prices go up to cover the growing costs of food and fuel. There has never been a better time to plan the hunt of your dreams. If nothing else, get on the mailing lists of several top booking agents and become familiar with top hunt areas and the costs they are bringing so when you do start shopping, you will be more knowledgeable.

The first major work by Steven Spielberg to be released on DVD, DreamWorks' Saving Private Ryan disc proves that it does not take a raft of supplemental materials to make a worthy disc. In fact, the only extras are the 1998 film's two theatrical trailers, production notes, a made-for-HBO featurette on the production (distinguished by glimpses at some war films Spielberg made as a youth), and a "message" from Spielberg that is little more than an ad soliciting contributions to the National D-Day Museum. What makes the disc a must-buy is the spectactular presentation of the film itself; the sound and picture is remarkably close to the actual theatrical experience (of course, exactly how close is dependent on your home theatre system). Tied together by a slick–but not overly so–animated menu design, Ryan is a keeper.

McIntyre mania
Funny man Michael McIntyre's meteoric rise to fame was thanks to a visit to Canary Wharf.
In an exclusive interview he told The Wharf that it was a gig at East Wintergarden three years ago that changed his life forever.
He said: "I owe it all to Canary Wharf. This is where it all changed for me. It was East Wintergarden - they did a very tough comedy night. It was a horrible gig - but it was there I got my new agent that changed my life.
"I was with this terrible agent for years and then I got in touch with the biggest agents in the country, who have Jonathan Ross, Lee Evans, Jack Dee and Alan Carr on their books. They came to see me in Canary Wharf and that's where it all started and they took me on the next day.
"It really was the turning point of everything. It's so tough here - that hall has a really high ceiling and is a horrible place for comedy. They put people in there and I guess the theory is if they do well there, they can do well anywhere."
McIntyre sold out a record six nights at Wembley Arena and four nights at The 02 last year and has become one of Britiain's biggest comedy stars. His debut stand-up DVD Live and Laughing, was the fastest selling of all time, only to be eclipsed by his second, Hello Wembley which sold over 1.4 million copies.
He hosts his own Bafta-nominated BBC1 series Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and won the British Comedy Award for best live stand-up in 2009 following his record-breaking 54 date arena tour.
So it was little wonder that fans flocked to Jubilee Place last week eager to meet the comedian signing copies of his new book Life And Laughing.
Hundreds of fans queued for up to four hours waiting for McIntyre to arrive and mass hysteria ensued as he skipped down the mall.
Crowds of screaming onlookers were shouting his name excited by the visit, all waving copies of his autobiography ready for signing.
McIntyre said: "I love all these people coming to see me - can you imagine a better day?
"You couldn't create a better day, apart from the fact it is quite long. People queue up to be nice to you. It's lovely. Apart from one guy in Manchester said to me 'I'm just here killing time, I've got a flight and I've got seven hours to kill' so not everyone is so thrilled to see me all the time.
"I'm very excited to be here - it's mental."
The autobiography tells of his extraordinary rise to stardom, giving details of his showbiz roots and his journey from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to selling half a million tickets on his last tour.
He said: "When I did my first signing in Selfridges I had no idea if anyone would turn up. I went with my mum and I said 'what if no-one comes', and she just replied 'well I've got shopping to do.'
"You think you are funny, then you test it out on people and you find out if you are funny through their laughter.
"And there was no laughter for many years - and that's why I have got a lot to write about in my book."
Of his influences he said: "Woody Allen was the first person I really loved and I like Billy Connolly - but I have not watched a lot of comedy since I got into to comedy as it freaks me out. It's difficult to relax and laugh because its work now.
McIntyre' popularity continues to rise with more TV appearances planned for later this year and 2011.
"I'm concentrating on the book then I have to do the Royal Variety Show that I agreed to do a long time ago and I'm terrified - I don't have any jokes.
"It's like I've won Britain's Got Talent performing for the Queen."
Life And Laughing by Michael McIntyre. Penguin, Michael Joseph, £20.

Daily Humble Store deal has Fez and Guacamelee! for cheapThe Humble Store has a set of daily deals going on right now that I hope you'll see before it's too late. Most notably, there's Fez for $3.99. If not for the sense of discovery or lovely pixel art, do it for Disasterpeace's sublime soundtrack (you've heard Side F and Side Z, right?). I've also got to give shout-outs to the 2D god game Reus ($3.39) and the excellent co-op brawler Guacamelee! Gold Edition ($7.49). Some fine games these are. I'm sure it's been said before, but I do quite like how the Humble Store shows a hard number for the amount of money raised for charity -- $130,000 and counting. It feels good to be a gamer.

text: My Little Spike Ch.1It's a fairly normal day in Ponyville, as most of its residence goes through the day as any other. Applejack is in the townsquare selling apples, Derpy Hooves was up in the air finishing her rounds for the day, Spike was out running an errand for Twilight, and Twilight herself was at the library reading a book about transformative spells.Sure, she had successfully transformed an apple into a carriage and, though temporary, a rock, branch, and a few leaves into a rather high-class outfit and cane; but, her attempt at changing four mice for the night of the Gala showed she still had much to learn. The book she was reading was one that specialized just for that. It was a book from the library at Canterlot, a book that Princess Celestia was a little more hesitant than usual to lend out to Twilight for her studies.The book covered simple transformation spells that would be considerably simple for any unicorn, especially Twilight, but it also contained more complex maneuvers ones she felt

text: '70s soft-rockers Pilot originally formed in 1973 with its bandmembers (David Paton on bass and vocals; Billy Lyall on synthesizer, flute, and vocals; and Stuart Tosh on drums) all hailing from Scotland. The group added a few additional members along the way (including two chaps who were former members of teeny boppers the Bay City Rollers, plus session guitarist Ian Bairnson), before issuing their self-titled debut in 1974. The album spawned a Top 20 hit with "Magic," but it was their 1975 single "January" (off their sophomore effort Second Flight) that proved to be the biggest success of the group's entire career, rocketing to the number one spot. Further albums followed (1976's Morin Heights and 1977's Two's a Crowd) as well as a few more moderate-sized hit singles ("Call Me Round," "Just a Smile") before Pilot folded. Tosh soon resurfaced as part of 10cc, as both Paton and Bairnson concentrated on studio work, playing on Kate Bush's 1978 debut, The Kick Inside, as well as recordings for Alan Parsons and Chris de Burgh. Lyall issued a solo album in 1976, Solo Casting (which featured his fellow Pilot bandmates), and later joined the group Dollar, before passing away in December of 1989 from an AIDS-related illness. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

Jusuf Nurkic not on Nuggets summer league roster
The Nuggets released their summer league roster on Monday, and first round draft pick Jusuf Nurkic was not on it.
Nurkic has a conflict with the Bosnian national team, which he committed to play for long before he was drafted by an NBA franchise. The Nuggets had been busily trying to broker a deal that would get him on their summer league team, but were not able to secure him for the full tournament. They had held out hope that if not available for the whole thing, he might be able to play at least some during summer league, which runs from July 11-21 in Las Vegas. It remains to be seen if that can be worked out. Read more…

If the sparrow fled its last redoubt in Everglades National Park, then other imperiled species -- wood storks, snail kites, and the eastern indigo snakes, for example -- might be getting the attention they deserve. Even the vanishing Florida panther gets less press than the bird these days.
An end to the sparrow would also resolve problems among environmentalists and biologists, who can't agree on how to save the songbird. One eminent ecologist, working for the federal government, says that since the bird is on the brink of extinction, the Indians or other wetlands residents who have a problem with measures taken on its behalf should move. "The fundamental question is this," says Stuart Pimm, the ecologist hired by the National Park Service to save the bird. "Do we as a nation believe that nature has sovereignty, or do we let local decisions degrade these national treasures?"
But another scientist, a seaside sparrow expert, says the birds are Everglades intruders, far from their original range near the southwest Florida coast, not as threatened as the government claims, and much more adaptable than Pimm suggests. But if they are on the brink, posits ornithologist Will Post, perhaps a captive breeding program might be in order. And Post knows about extinction. Twenty years ago, he was asked to save the Cape Sable sparrow's cousin, the dusky seaside sparrow, from oblivion. But he arrived in its marshy, central Florida homeland too late.
And what about the lesson of the dusky? Since the last one keeled over in a cage at Walt Disney World in 1987, there is little evidence to suggest that anyone really misses it.
When all the squabbling is over, the Cape Sable seaside sparrow might be doomed anyway. Twenty years ago, more than 6000 birds were counted. Last year, just 3200 of the half-ounce critters were counted, all in Everglades National Park. This year's census puts the total at 2704. That's about 84 pounds of bird, total. With a little compression, every single Cape Sable on the planet could be packed into a 55-gallon drum and deep-sixed in the Gulf Stream. And that would put to rest the controversy.
Or would it?
Legal battles over the bird rage on in several federal courtrooms, where judges issue injunctions and stays that give fieldwork on floodgates and reservoirs a herky-jerky rhythm. The National Resources Defense Council is suing the South Florida Water Management District and the corps. The SFWMD has countersued the NRDC and eight other environmental groups. The Miccosukee Tribe has also sued the corps several times.
Wrangling over the sparrow has also produced some colorful and often nasty rhetoric. Conservationist and onetime U.S. Interior Assistant Secretary Nathaniel Reed in January 2000 wrote a letter in which he blasted Dexter Lehtinen, the tribe's attorney, as "the worst proponent of Everglades restoration possible, as your know-ledge is faulty, your biases overwhelm any science, your grievances are endless, and your spite is without limit."
In a December 2001 letter to the Interior Department, tribe chairman Cypress said the U.S. Justice Department's failure to stop discrimination against the Indians in favor of the sparrow leaves the agency with "its head in the sand on this issue with only their posterior showing." Less than a month later, Cypress fired off a letter to the corps accusing the agency of mismanaging water deliveries "as a lap dog for the Department of the Interior and its Fish and Wildlife Service."
Sewell, the NRDC attorney, says that in impassioned courtroom arguments, he has heard lawyers imply that "there are schoolchildren drowning because of the sparrow." That is not happening, he adds, "by no means."
Ultimately, the fight over the Everglades is about water: how much, when and where, and how clean. And although the sparrow just happened to land in the middle of the battleground, its chief concern is also water. Too much water disturbs the bird's nesting cycle; too little makes its habitat susceptible to fire and changes in vegetation. For this bird, everything must be just right.
As a metaphor for the least of all creatures, the sparrow predates the current brouhaha. In the Bible, Matthew quotes Jesus telling his disciples of the two birds sold for a farthing, "and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father."
But now it is not just God's eye on the sparrow. Everybody is watching.
To gauge the sparrow's importance to the pace and practice of Everglades restoration and to get closer to the heat generated by debate over the creature, it is instructive to compare chief antagonists on the issue -- Stuart Pimm, the government's lead scientist, and Dexter Lehtinen, the Miccosukees' attorney. They have met, briefly, at Everglades conferences and during courtroom hearings but have never had a conversation. They don't seem to like each other.
At first glance, Pimm and Lehtinen appear similar. Both are bulky, middle-aged, cocksure hard-chargers, educated and smart, whose ambition and competitiveness can often resemble arrogance. Each has absolute confidence in the correctness of his position. And on the sparrow, those positions could not be more different.
Pimm, who is 53 years old, is a high-profile academic who has published two books (the modestly titled The World According to Pimm, McGraw-Hill, 2001, is his latest) and scores of scientific papers on endangered species and ecosystems. Coming up with a plan to save the sparrow is not his only gig. With a gaggle of aides and graduate students, Pimm roams the globe, overseeing study projects in the Brazilian rainforest, on the Hawaiian honeycreeper, the spotted owl in Oregon, elephants in Africa, and the mongoose in Madagascar. When Pimm is lured from one prestigious school to another -- as he was this year when he left the University of Tennessee to become a professor of conservation biology at Columbia University -- his entourage and projects go with him.

Make Your Own Summer Popsicles
Summer without popsicles? No Way! What if, to find some relief from the heat, we rely on some fresh fruit instead of on artificial syrups? Here is a very easy (and super tasty!) recipe to prepare some homemade summer popsicles from Miriam Lepore.
For a watermelon popsicle, we will need:
- 1 glass of water
- 1 slice of watermelon
- 3 spoons of sugar
- Plastic glass
- Wooden sticks
Let's first create a syrup by melting the sugar in the water and boiling it. Once boiled, turn off the fire and leave it to cool. Cut the watermelon, remove the seeds and blend it with the mixer. Now, mingle the result with the cold syrup. Pour the solution in the plastic glasses and put them in the freezer for two hours. Remove them from the freezer, insert the wooden sticks and leave them cool for other 4 hours. Our popsicles are now ready: you just need to break the plastic glasses and enjoy their freshness!
For a lemon popsicle, we will need:
- 1 glass of water
- 2 lemons
- 6 spoons of sugar (but also 8, 10…!)
- Plastic glass
- Wooden sticks
The procedure is very similar to the one illustrated above. Melt the sugar (more in this case, to counterbalance the lemon) in the water and leave the solution to boil. Squeeze the lemons and remove the seeds. Mix this with the syrup, pour it in the plastic glasses and put them in the freezer for two hours. Then, insert the wooden sticks and leave them cool for other 4 hours. Break the glasses and…yummy!
