Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?
By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work.

I'm studying Haskell for the purpose of understanding functional programming, with the expectation that I'll apply the insight that I gain in other languages (Groovy, Python, JavaScript mainly.)
I choose Haskell because I had the impression that it is very purely functional, and wouldn't allow for any reliance on state.
I did not choose to learn Haskell because I was interested in navigating an extremely rigid type system.
My question is this: Is a strong type system a necessary by-product of an extremely pure functional language, or is this an unrelated design choice particular to Haskell?
If it is the latter, I'm curious what would be the most purely functional language that is dynamically typed.
I'm not particularly opposed to strong typing, it has its place, but I'm having a hard time seeing how it benefits me in this educational endeavor.

MOSCOW (AP) - The U.S. and Russia named the two men on Monday who will spend a year aboard the International Space Station to gather more data on the impact of outer space on humans to help prepare for future interplanetary missions.
NASA's Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko of Russia's space agency Roscosmo will take part in the mission set to start in spring 2015. A key goal is to help reduce health risks for planned NASA missions around the moon, an asteroid and ultimately Mars.
William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator, said the year spent on the Space Station "will increase our knowledge regarding the effects of microgravity on humans as we prepare for future missions beyond low-Earth orbit."
Kelly, a veteran of several space missions who has logged more than 180 days in space, and Kornienko, who traveled to the station in 2010, will start training for the mission early next year.
Kelly's twin brother, Mark Kelly is the husband of former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who was targeted in a 2011 assassination attempt and he was the skipper of Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission in 2011. He then retired.
International crews so far have done only six-month stints on the International Space Station, although many Russian cosmonauts spent longer stints on the Soviet-built Mir space station before it was discarded in 2001. Russian cosmonaut Valery Polyakov holds the world's record for the longest ever single space mission, having spent 437 days in space in 1994-1995.
Boris Morukov, the head of the Moscow-based Institute for Medical and Biological Problems, Russia's main space medicine research center, said on Interfax news agency that the forthcoming mission by Kelly and Kornienko may include tighter controls of their food rations and the limiting of communications to simulate an interplanetary travel, among other things.

Eastenders | |
Type | Soap |
Creator | God |
Starring | Z-list actors |
TV Station | BBC One, BBC One HD |
Running Length | Too long |
No. of episodes | Too many |
EastEnders is a teatime televised opera, particularly popular with old people in retirement homes and the chronically depressed, and is often advertised with the slogan "For those who can't afford Sky". The show also has a popular theme tune written and performed by gay icon Dennis Waterman. The show holds a lot of evil controversy, especially with people who stare at the screen waiting for someone to say 'bitch' or 'tosser' and have the Ofcom phone number on speed-dial.
Although it was released in the UK in the 1980s, plans for the show go as far back as world war two. It was the idea to hypnotize everyone through a sad television programme, and today still the typically severity of depression induced through watching one episode equates to 200g of ketamine.
The Creation of Misery
1. In the beginning, God created EastEnders and Albert Square. And darkness fell upon the BBC One schedules.
2. And God said "Let there be depression". And there was in abundance.
3. And God saw the depression and it was good. The BBC executives saw the ratings and they said depression is good, too.
4. And God called the depression EastEnders; he then created misery, which included rape, murder, binge drinking, market stalls and Phil Mitchell.
5. And God said "Let there be a pub". And God saw the pub and named it "The Queen Vic".
6. And God said, Let the people who populate The Queen Vic be the dregs of society. They must never smile or laugh, he said. And they must endure situations that are true to life, despite never watching their televisions on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm.
7. And God called his people EastEnders. And God said to the EastEnders, Thou shalt commit acts of incest, with Mother and Sister being of one, and Z list actors and 'comedians' in guest appearances.
8. And God said, Bring forth a typical Christmas storyline in which death and misery and the occasional wife-beating must occur.
9. With all his power, God made appear a cast of characters; some yielded from Grange Hill, others from The Bill.
10. And God said, let there be a big storyline once every two annum. And God called the storyline Who Shot Phil Mitchell? And the people watching said "who cares?"
11. And God said "You are my EastEnders. Deal with it."
12. And God said that all of this sin and sadness could be miraculously cured with a nice cup of tea.
The Ten Commandments of Albert Square
And God created the Ten Commandments. All characters must obey the Commandments, He said:
1. Thou shalt not look for work outside the boundaries of Walford.
2. Thou shalt argue and fight during a party.
3. Thou shalt not swear or curse but feel free to commit acts of: violence, drugs, abuse, torture, murder, dodgy dealings, deception, grassing, peadophilia, cheating, neglect, rape, racism and alcohol...mostly alcohol.
4. Thou shalt always refer to the police as "The Old Bill".
5. Thou shalt not enjoy a successful marriage.
6. Thou shalt consume breakfast only in Ian's Café.
7. Thou shalt only leave Albert Square by way of death, prison or Manchester. Or, at a pinch, Spain.
8. Thou shalt not have a merry Christmas.
9. Thou shalt not possess a washing machine. Use the launderette.
10. Thou shalt have thy wedding reception in the Queen Vic.
And he thought them, good. Oh so good.
Christian Clarke | Jane's brother. Raging homosexual. Once shagged her husband, hard, but all is forgiven. Laughs like a horse. Has a smile so freaky it would make the Joker wince. He seems obsessed with Jack Sparrow. Bloody pervert! But we love 'im. Syed loves 'im too and his bum. | |
Ian Beale | Man/weasel who runs a chippy and a café and for some reason thinks that makes him a entrepreneurial businessman. The most wimpy, girly, feminine heterosexual you will ever see, and also an utter fucking cock. Has god knows how many kids, some of them try to kill him or his family, but the sod still loves them. If EastEnders was real, he'd have been stabbed to death long before now. | |
Jane/Lesley Clarke | Used to be fat, changed her name to Jane because she's no longer as fat as she used to be. Got shot in the stomach, had her minge amputated. | |
Lucy Beale | Just about the only interesting character on the show, yet hasn't been killed off. Odd. Looks like she'd be a dirty bitch in bed. Apparently 19... yeah, and her dad's straight. | |
Peter Beale | So much like his wimpy father Ian it's uncanny, blatantly going to turn out gay. He aged by 5 years in a week! Dated the Ginger King's daughter. Has basically been in a car crash and been punched by a paedo. | |
Bobby Beale | Ever seen The Omen? Look at those eyes! TERRIFYING. | |
Abi Branning | Is a little too close to her guinea pigs and incidentally, her very own father... dirty little bitch. | |
Bradley Branning | Ginger. He blushes a LOT. Sorry, blushed a lot. We should be referring to him in the past tense now since he recently took a nose-dive off the top of the Vic during his wedding reception. Come on, you've done worse things on the booze. Got married to Stacey despite the fact that in real life, she wouldn't have even have been friends with him, let alone sleep with him and his ginger pubes. He is, or was an active member of the campaign team for the political party known as The Ginger Alliance (with cousin Bianca and dad Max.) Was once called the Ginger Ninja, and always looked like he had passed wind when he answered the door. | |
Dot Branning | Local atheist, smokes an average of 500 cigarettes daily and yet somehow is still alive. Speaks in the same tone of voice constantly, and once spent an ENTIRE EPISODE TALKING TO A FUCKING TAPE RECORDER! | |
Jack Branning | The secret love-child of Clive Owen and ROBOCOP! Has had sex with almost every woman in the Square. Has also impreganted ALL of the Mitchell woman. | |
Derek Branning | Walford's answer to The Krays as one but a fatter more threatening version. Violent racist thug but since from returning from prison, has apparantly 'changed his ways,' despite the fact from bullying almost everyone on the square since returning. Now dead thanks to a heart attack. In the altered words of Queen Vic, "we are very much amused." | |
Jim Branning | Had a stroke. Dot's other half. | |
Lauren Branning | Started stuffing socks down her bra aged 7, a living Bratz doll. Tony King saw the inner beauty of her... literally. Somehow was able to put herself into foster care. | |
Max "Scotch Egg" Branning | Ugliest womaniser ever? Strongly resembles cross-breed between a goldfish and a scotch egg. Max is de facto leader of The Ginger Triad of Evil, along with Paul Scholes and Mick Hucknall. Could have been spotted playing at Goodison Park and now at Craven Cottage. Yes, you guessed it, he must be Andy Johnson's double. Everyone in Walford hates him. | |
Tanya Branning | Likes zips, and is the inventor of bread hoopla. She has the greatest pair of tits you will ever see! Her husband cheated on her with his son's girlfriend, so she fucked her husband's son's girlfriend's brother and her husband's brother, buried her husband alive, then got him out again... but it's alright, they're back together now. | |
Janine Butcher | Resembles a poodle. Killed Barry Evans and his ex-wife which was the only good thing this bitch ever done. Likes to lick her lips after every sentence to look evil. Is bizarrely obsessed with owning some shite pub in a made-up part of London. Everyone else on the Square does everything in their power to keep her from being a success because she's one of the few clever people in Walford. | |
Liam Butcher | Truent who doesn't like Everyday Value brand beans. Related to practically everyone, and about as clever as his parents, so doesn't stand much chance in life. | |
Pat Evans | Fat ex-hooker with horrid looking earrings. Looked like the Honey Monster. Killed someone with her car once, but it didn't stop people asking her for driving lessons. Her earrings were sound radars and she picked up on what everyone was saying, explaining why she was there to answer everyone's problems. One eyebrow was 12 cm higher than the other. Once had a "thing" with Patrick... yuk! | |
Ricky Butcher | Likes to wear jackets that don't fit him. As thick as pig shite. | |
Chelsea Fox, aka Budget Rihanna | Kind of like Naomi Campbell minus a personality, opinion or brain. Would be attractive if she weren't so pathetic. | |
David Wicks | Runs away from almost anyone he comes into contact with. Is the son of the infamous old slag Pat Butcher and the father of ginger nut Bianca Butcher and schizophrenic Joe Wicks so no wonder he left the bloody square. Returned to Walford to witness his mother die. He then got back together with ex-girlfriend Carol Jackson (even after he left her when she was pregnant with his child). They got back together for about ten minutes after he fucked off and left her again. | |
Denise Fox | Kind of reminds you of Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest except nastier and more uptight. Seems to have a strange attraction to lunatics. Married a drug-addict then left him for an alcoholic psychopath who treated her like a punchbag then left him and got back with the drug-addict who had given up drugs to become a Bible-bashing serial killer who locked her in a cellar. In between marrying maniacs, she married a nice cockney guy called Kevin who loved her to bits but she hated his guts and forgot about him a week after he died in a car accident. | |
Kim Fox | Denise's clinically insane sister. Runs a shite B&B infested with mice. Uses charcoal on her face. | |
Simon 'Wicksey' Wicks | Bastard son of Pat Butcher who made his childhood a misery. He also shagged his best mate's wife and didn't feel sorry for it. Resembles a cockney but the soft kind. | |
Libby Fox | Originally known as Squiggle, but luckily the producers realized just how stupid this sounded. Biggest question is, how did she ever get a boyfriend? Still a virgin. Went to Oxford University and now never visits her mother, despite being in the same city. | |
Carol Jackson | Literally the most depressed woman on the square (if not Walford). Has God knows how many kids, infact she's had more kids than hot dinners. She returned recently to the sqaure to experience more depression. She also has terrible taste in men and even forgave her daughter when she got off with her boyfriend: she's also really forgiving (even in the most life-destroying matters). | |
Bianca Butcher | RICCKKAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Rough, but not quite as rough as Shirley. Has a voice that could grate cheese. She is an active member of The Ginger Alliance's more hardline militant wing. Her last campaign involved lacing all the shampoos at Tanya's salon with ginger hair dye with the objective of making people understand the suffering that gingers have to endure on a daily basis. Once said her uncle Jack Branning was fit and that she'd happily do her cousin Peter Beale... she'll literally sleep with her own family given the chance. | |
Morgan Jackson-King | Only eats chicken nuggets. The dinosaur ones scare him. Apparently the son of two white people despite being black. | |
Tiffany Dean | Smart-ass ginger kid. Enjoys destroying things. Reminds you of Stewie Griffin. | |
Whitney Dean | Puts her make-up on with a shovel. Will no doubt turn out to be a bigger slag than her stepmother, so at least she will accomplish something. Was sleeping with her mother's boyfriend... hang on, didn't they do that story with Bianca once? | |
Masood Ahmed | Zainabs camp, pompous punchbag. | |
Tamwar Masood | A little library gremlin who was clearly the perfect match for Libby Fox. So sad he raped a toothbrush! Has a dry wit which is frowned upon by his humourless family. | |
Zainab Masood | Fat, violently homophobic, dominatrix-like Muslim ex-postal worker who sold her daughter to a Pakistani. Thinks Christian's a pervert despite the fact that Mohammed was a paedophile. | |
Syed Masood | Total cock tease. Goes from "Fuck me Christian!", to "Fuck off I'm muslim!", within minutes of getting a good hard ramming. Syed is known for his catchphrase "I'm Muslin but I've got a little bit of Christian in me!" | |
Amira Shah | Is totally unaware of her fiancé and Christian's erotic Greek love, despite staring RIGHT AT THEM when they were holding hands. | |
Darren Miller | Looks like a fish wearing lipstick. Still living in the Square even though the rest of his family has moved away, despite the fact he's only 16. Recently became the father of Heffer's baby (Little George Michael Trott) AWWWWWWWWWWWWW! | |
Dawn Swann | Pathetic slag. Has the abortion clinic on speed-dial. Everyone hates her so much, they decided to wait until she was just about to walk down the aisle before they told her that her husband-to-be had been brutally beaten to death. Had a affair with a fat, middle-aged alcholic who still lives with his mother, don't wanna imagine him ramming her skinny arse. | |
Archie Mitchell | Ronnie and Roxy's dad. Lived in a mansion on the coast, but decided to move into a overcrowded east London pub. As you do. Possibly the meanest, nastiest bastard Walford's ever seen... and that's saying something. When he wasn't wrecking peoples lives, he likes to rape puppies, skin kittens and defile virgins, his personal favourite being his own daughter. Feeling sick? The toilet's that way. Used to watch 'You've Been Framed!' just so he could see children trip over and cry. Eventually met his timely end when he was flattened with a bust of Queen Victoria. We are very much amused. | |
Ben "Milkybar Kid" Mitchell | Little Harry Potter shit stain, likes Broadway musicals and tap dancing, obviously so gay. So annoying, even his dad once beat the crap out of him. However, somehow the little sod managed to put a kid in hospital after smacking him across the helmet with a spanner. Was victimised by Lord Voldemort's meaner cousin, Stella Crawford. His pastime is dancing and singing along to Girls Aloud songs. Acts like a stroppy 4 year old despite supposedly being 16. Went to jail for months and was naturally placed with the most violent prisoner there. Came back 'with an attitude' and has now started the new hobby of killing people or making their lives a misery. | |
Sharon "Miss Piggy" Watts | Bears a striking resemblance to Miss Piggy from The Muppets. Has came back and left countless times, can't sing a lullaby for shite. Shagged Jack Branning on the same day of walking out on her fiancé. | |
Billy "No Mates" Mitchell | Sure, he looks like Sherlock Holmes but his family hate him, his wife left him, and she hates him and his daughter is a downy. Who hates him. No one likes him. No one will give him a job (except as one of Santa's elves) and he doesn't seem to know how to close his mouth when he chews. Yet, he still hasn't committed suicide because is really popular amongst people who watch the show due to his general niceness. | |
Susan Honey "Really-Struggling-To-Think-Of-New-Names" Mitchell | Billy's genius wife. Known for her witty, Oscar Wilde-esque remarks. When asked why people called her Honey, she replied "What is this, the Spanish Armada?" Was supposed to be a comic relief character but after becoming mordibly depressed as a result of her daughter having Down's Syndrome, the producers decided that she was starting to lose her comic value. Has now left but may be coming back. | |
Janet Mitchell | Billy's daughter. Reasoning that their first child deserved a truly noble, august name, one with the femininity of the Faerie Queens of antiquity, the sort of name one would expect the wind to whisper through the trees, Billy and Honey decided to call their daughter Janet. Suffers from Down's Syndrome yet still probably most intelligent person on the sqaure. Is played by a doll in some episodes. This doll's performance has garnered praise from critics who say that it "ignites the screen like it was born there, bringing a truly bombastic performance, reminiscent of a young Jodi Foster to the role of Janet." | |
Peggy Mitchell
Peggy's Best Moment! | Dolly Parton mixed with a leprechaun, "Get outta moy pab!" Looks like some bird from the Carry On films. Has great tits though. Walford's first GILF. | |
Phil Mitchell | Likes deflating. Resembles an uncooked sausage in a shirt. A bit like Hagrid in the way he speaks, but has no beard or hair. On certain days, you can see your reflection in his head. 50 year old alchoholic who's only just moved out from his mum's and for some reason everyone's scared of him. | |
Lisa Fowler | Likes to cry. Got beaten up by Phil Mitchell and then ran off with little bratling Louise. Came back at one point in 2010 to give viewers their fix of depression. | |
Grant Mitchell | Phil's tall, thin brother who was in The Matrix. Has left, come back, left come back and at one point came back before leaving. Peggy has heard disturbing rumours that he's changed his name to Ross Kemp and become a lovey. "Tell me it's not true, Grant! Tell me it's not true!" Let's just hope she doesn't see The Matrix! | |
Ronnie Mitchell | An alien/Michelle Pfeiffer cross-breed who shouts a lot. Her smile rips the universe apart so let's just hope Roxy never fingers her. Had three kids, and they all ended up dying on her. | |
Sam Mitchell | Wants to be model and has the talent for it because he's shagged everyone on the square. Was engaged to her ex-husband a few years ago and made him think that the baby she was carrying was his. She's a real slag and bitch. Was played by God knows how many actresses that the first one that played her got sacked and returned years later but then left again. Rumored to return again because 43rd time's the charm. | |
Roxy Mitchell | Local cock-munching slag. Didn't feel bad about going behind her boyfriend's back with her sister's bloke. Perfect guest on the Jeremy Kyle show. Her real name is Roxy "I shagged my sister's boyfriend, got up the duff, lied that it was my husband's, was shocked that it wasn't, he tried to kill me and the baby but didn't because my sister and the boyfriend I shagged saved me from an icy death, holy shit I hope I'm getting paid for this!" Mitchell. Thinks it's a good idea to leave letters with DNA results lying about as well. Surprising has only one child despite the fact she's a real slag. Thinks her father's a saint even though he raped his daughter and 20 year old Stacey Slater who eventually killed him. Her Dad gave her a pub after he scammed it off Peggy. Can't run a pub for shit. | |
Charlie Slater | Drives taxis, that's about it. Really. Had an argument with Kat once and decided there was no place for him on the Square and promptly left... no-one noticed. | |
Kat Slater | Tart. Comes with 3 working orifices, can give Bianca a run for her money on hot air alone. She came with a comedian called Alfie who follows her around telling jokes and peeing in the Vic. Once was on the game but after complaints from Pat Evans about being her livelihood, she decided to run off to Spain. Rested for a while with Alfie after being punctured after a fight with 'Well'ard' . The only person on the BBC to need a JCB to slap her make-up on before any scene with the sun on Phil Mitchell's head. Recently had an affair with Derek Branning and got kicked out of her own fucking house by Alfie. | |
Ryan Malloy | The new Sean Slater in Walford. Looks like a wolf with a beard. | |
Jean 'SAUSAGE SURPRISE!' Slater | Looks like a frog, stutters and shakes a lot and talks a lot of shit. When she enters the scene, you can hear the collective groans of every viewer. SAUSAGE SURPRISE! | |
Mo 'Arris | Resident crack dealer. Sister of Hollywood star Gary Coleman. Walks around the square annoying people. | |
Stacey Slater | She'll screw your daddy! Wants to be a nun but for some mystifying reason gets turned down by every convent. Doesn't know how to smile and always SHOUTS! Now complete with bipolar disorder. Killed Archie Mitchell. Good on you, girl. | |
Patrick Trueman | YAH MON! Had a pork pie hat permanently welded onto his head at birth. His wife left him and moved away for a really stupid reason, so at least he has something in common with Billy Mitchell. Used to bobsled in a previous life. | |
Amanda Best | Professor Trelawny's sister. Apparently old friends with Phil and Minty. Has never been mentioned until she arrived as the teacher of a pottery class that Minty and Charlie randomly went to. | |
Danielle Jones | Was just about the only fit girl on the Square but for some reason got treated like shit by everyone, possibly on account of her Aryanness. Was only living with the Slaters for a week before she was considered 'one of the faaamily'. Turned out that she was actually Ronnie's long-lost daughter, and she'd known it all along... and for some stupid reason didn't tell her for months on end. Naturally, Ronnie hated her guts. Eventually, after months of total, total misery Ronnie found out the truth and things started to look up for Danielle... and then she was run over by a car and killed. The only happy moment of her life was when she lay dying. Even I'm depressed now! The Telford village council were rather pleased to hear that Danielle originated from Telford and that the BBC were raising awareness of their historic town. They don't seem to have noticed that Danielle considered returning to Telford a fate worse than death. Cried about 6 times per episode. Everyone seems to have forgotten her already. | |
Dotty Cotton | Cockney demon child. See Bobby Beale. | |
Garry Hobbs | Still in the Square long after his wife left him. Even bigger loser than Billy yet managed to shag Dawn... does not compute! Has a face that looks like it's been squashed with a giant lemon. | |
George Michael Trott | New baby on the square. Has fugly parents, so will probably considered a "looker" in the Square when he grows up. | |
Heather "'Ev" Trott |
She bent over, and a scene from Independence day comes to mind... She ran/waddled everywhere carrying her miniature handbag, and sporting a fluorescent plastic hairband. Probably only had one shag in her entire life. Somehow got married to Minty despite her name not being on the marriage certificate. Seems to mention food at some point during every conversation she has. Likes cheesy Wotsits and kebabs. Thought she was pregnant but was just Oscar who got trapped underneath one of her fat rolls - only then did she find out she was actually pregnant. Met her maker when she was hit over the head with a picture frame by the Milkybar Kid. Well, he is strong and tough, and only the best is good enough... | |
Jay Mitchell | Chav. Moved in with his Grampa Bert, aka the King of Cool. Bert returned back oop norrrth to work down t' mines when Jase showed up and moved in without Social Services raising an eyebrow. After his dad died, moved in with Billy Mitchell because it helps when you're living with someone who is more of a loser than you are. That sad that he couldn't even get a shag off a prozzie. | |
Lucas Johnson | Chelsea's dad and Walford's answer to John Doe from Se7en. Former drug-addict, religious sociopath and all round God-bothering nutjob. Murdered his ex-wife, then his new wife's ex-husband and finally a prostitute before locking his wife in a cellar. She'll have forgiven him in a week. To err is human and all that. | |
Carly Wicks | Shirley's excessively pouting daugher. Very petite and innocent looking, but more than makes up for that by shouting everything she says. She wonders why her mother abandoned her. | |
Minty Peterson | Fat guy with a hole in his chin. Started off as a unlikeable letch, then turned into a decent, lovable guy a few weeks later. Probably one of the few likable and reasonably happy characters in the entire show. | |
Nick Cotton | Murderer. Rapist. Drug addict. Plotted to kill his old 'Ma' with the help of "Dotty". One of the nicer people on the Square. | |
Shirley "Shirl" Carter | Roughest bird you will EVER see, chews glass, spits it out, chews again, eats your face. Has an insult for every occasion but never a comeback. | |
Syd Chambers | Who? Exactly. | |
Theo Kelly | Liked to wear old man hats. Resembled a neanderthal but everybody seemed to consider him a genius. Well it is Walford. | |
Dr. Al Jenkins | The local doc. Went on a date with Tanya and hasn't been seen since, that's what happens when you try to date Max, leader of The Ginger Triad of Evil's wife. | |
Tracy the Barmaid | She's a mute. Works 43 hours a day, 13 days a week, since 1985, surely she suffers from exhaustion? Famous lines: "What can I get you?" and "Weren't you in The Bill?". Often nods and looks after the Vic. Waiting to be given an actual role. Spoke to Sean Slater in 2008. Will probably snap one day and kill everyone in Walford due to the pressures of east London life. Her first words were "What are you doing here?" | |
Winston the Market Trader | Been there since 1985, and still hasn't had a storyline. Will probably team up with Tracy the Barmaid in the final ever episode to nuke Walford. | |
Derek Branning | Looked like a frog, talked big and had a heart-attack. That's about it really. Basically Johnny Alan all over again. Never actually did anything but for some reason, everyone was shit-scared of him. | |
Any baby on the show | Uncared for and neglected, often swapped between parents as they tire of their own. Whilst their child sleeps a drink in the Queen Vic is compulsory. |

Community struggles with tragedyAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
A candlelight vigil in memory of Carly Ferro was held Thursday evening on the front lawn of Rutland High School where she was a senior.The vigil was over but the hundreds who gathered outside Rutland High School on Thursday evening huddled together, reluctant to leave as their candles lit the gloom.
One student stepped forward and read a poem, followed by another who read something shed written about the pain she and all her classmates were grappling with the death of 17-year-old Carly Ferro.
We lost someone special last night, said RHS student Kaylee Gilbert. Such a young and beautiful person was taken from us and we can never get her back.
The same sentiments were expressed Thursday throughout the Rutland community, where everyone from police and prosecutors to people on the street tried to make sense of a fatal car crash that was repeatedly described as a senseless tragedy.
That description rang more and more true as details of the crash became available Thursday.
Ferro died about two and a half hours after the crash that injured her just outside her workplace, Rutland Discount Food and Liquidation Center on Cleveland Avenue. She was just walking out of the store toward her fathers car at about 6 p.m. Wednesday, police said, when a 2004 Toyota Camry careened into the parking area at up to 80 mph and caused a crash involving four vehicles and injuring four people in addition to Carly Ferro.
Ron Ferro, who was waiting in his car to pick up his daughter, remained hospitalized Thursday in good condition.
Rutland City Police said Alex W. Spanos, 23, the driver of the Camry, had been inhaling aerosol cans of Dust-Off to get high while he drove around the city for part of the day.
More than 100 residents watched rescuers and police investigators at the crash scene Wednesday night. Many more were talking about the crash on the streets and through social media sites on Thursday.
This is a huge tragedy for the city, the neighborhoods and the people who worked at the store, and it could have been avoided, Rutland United Neighborhoods coordinator Lynne Walsh said early Thursday.
By midafternoon, ripples from the crash had spread to the point that Walsh and city police decided to schedule a special meeting early next week to help the community process the trauma.
Starting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Northwest Elementary School, residents are invited to talk about their concerns over the incident. Rutland Mental Health representatives will be on hand to talk with anyone.
She was a popular student on the golf team and fairly well known in the community, said Rutland Police Lt. Kevin Geno. We thought a healing of some sort would be appropriate.
Geno said he personally understands the trauma the community is going through. The seasoned veteran said the crash, which took place on a residential street, ranks as the worst hed ever seen.
I cant recall a scene as horrific as this in my career here, he said.
The crash also prompted Rutland Police Chief James Baker to call short a trip to a police chiefs convention in San Diego. Baker, who was in North Carolina Thursday afternoon, said he would be back in the city today.
Collectively the police department recognizes that this is one of the most tragic events to happen in the community in a long time, Baker said explaining his reasons for returning to Vermont. From our perspective, we have a role in providing resources that will help the community deal with this trauma.
For students at Rutland High School, where Ferro was an accomplished member of the varsity golf team and a member of several student groups, both the trauma and the healing were in evidence at the vigil attended by students, faculty and family members.
I think its safe to say we will all miss Carly and what she brought to our lives, said Associate Principal Pam Reed. Please remember to be kind to each other and take care of each other and yourselves.

A 61-year-old Filipino woman had a recent episode of syncope and unintentional weight loss noted over a 6-month period. On physical examination, she was found to be tachycardic and to have a large necrotic mass in her right breast (Figure 1). Laboratory findings were notable for anemia with a hematocrit value of 19%. A fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the mass showed only cellular stromal fragments with no cytological atypia. Chest computed tomography showed a 21 × 18-cm, smooth-contoured, heterogeneous chest wall mass with no obvious chest wall invasion (Figure 2).
Necrotic breast mass.
Computed tomographic scan of the chest.
A. Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast
B. Phyllodes tumor
C. Leiomyosarcoma

Healthcare Building Ideas has merged with Healthcare Design Magazine. Combining these two brands will help us better serve the expanding needs of builders, architects & designers focused on creating high-quality healthcare environments.
It's costly to house any service within a hospital. And thanks to advancements in technology, many functions don't need to be on-site anyway. Here's how to determine what could find a new home.
Although the industry has been touting the benefits of right-sizing healthcare environments for years, not everyone has embraced the approach. But thanks to new technologies and efficiencies in place, successful right-sizing is within reach now more than ever.
As healthcare trends more and more to outpatient services in lieu of inpatient care, healthcare organizations are exploring whether to build new or transition existing spaces. But how do you know if a building is a fit for conversion? Using an existing facility assessment to rate criteria and score feasibility will help the decision-making process.
Healthcare is evolving, with a heightened focus on greater efficiency and higher quality of care. This shift is requiring healthcare design to evolve, too. Here are five ways to rethink the way built environments are created and what they need to achieve.
A number of healthcare market conditions are inspiring providers and their design teams to take a fresh look at the emergency department, with a few strategies emerging to bring new life to the space and make a lasting impression.
Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton, completed in November 2013, reflects the ideals of the patients it serves and raises the bar for military healthcare facility design.
Breaking out beyond smaller healthcare projects, modular construction is being sought out for its speed to market, quality control, and efficiency.
What are some of the most intriguing ideas and issues that were top of mind in 2014? And what trends would you like to see go away in the New Year?

That's a shame. The art style really caught my attention but it doesn't sound like a promising total package.
With all the exciting spring releases, it was easy to miss a little French film titled, "A Monster in Paris." Personally, I make it a point to keep an eye out for the less publicized gems that occasionally slip through all the hype. Being both a foreign and animated film, "A Monster in Paris" was slowly grasping positive international acclaim when I sat down to watch the Blu-ray. I'm, generally, a huge fan of foreign animated features.
Renowned animation Director, Bibo Bergeron (Shark Tale) brings us a sweet little musical tale of a tiny, innocent flea who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances when he is accidentally made seven feet tall. The film is a treat for the eyes, bringing us lovely Parisian backdrops, giant sunflowers, and emotive characters. I never thought I could feel so much for a giant insect who finds his niche in the performing arts.
The trouble is, that is extent of what I felt for any of the characters. What the film wins out on for originality and captivating animation, it severely lacks in storyline. The small homage to classic monster movies is refreshing and a beautiful idea, but the flea's personal tale is the best (and smallest) part of "A Monster in Paris." In fact, the story has an entire host of other characters. The plot really belongs to Emile (Jay Harrington), a projectionist, and Raoul (Adam Goldberg), an inventor, who team up with a singer named Lucille (Vanessa Paradis) to save the flea from police. The English version boasts voices such as Vanessa Paradis, Adam Goldberg, Jay Harrington, Catherine O'Hara, and even Sean Lennon. Yet, despite the talent involved, you frankly lose the story when the flea is not on camera.
Another shortcoming are the musical numbers. For an animated feature advertised as a musical masterpiece, I feel as if i should at least have been humming a tune or two as the end credits rolled. "A Monster in Paris" suffers from being a wonderful idea that was not imagined to its fullest potential. As an audience, we can see bits and pieces, but nothing worth the second watch.
That's a shame. The art style really caught my attention but it doesn't sound like a promising total package.
Apparently, the original French audio track makes the movie, especially music, way better. Sadly, no french track on the US release of this blu ray but available in Canada and Europe.

Assistant Professor Hanada Al-Masri joined the department in 2012 and teaches Arabic. She earned her B.A. and M.A. from the University of Jordan, Jordan and her Ph.D. degree from Purdue University, Indiana.
I have taught courses on transnational sexualities, Asian American women, Asian American history, women of color politics in response to 9/11, and women in the arts. At Denison, I teach the introductory class "Issues in Feminism" and a class called "Gender and Sexuality in American Orientalism" (Spring 2014). I currently serve as a board member of the Arab American arts organization, Mizna. In my free time I enjoy gardening, cooking, and creative writing. I am originally from Louisville, Kentucky.
The John W. Alford Center for Service Learning facilitates opportunities for Denisonians to engage meaningfully in community service and service-learning.
The Office of Alumni Relations makes connections within the Denison family—alumni, parents, friends, students and faculty/staff—all of you are important to us. Our goals are to connect Denisonians with each other and to strengthen your relationship with the College. We accomplish these goals through programs and events involving your classmates, friends and peers. Your connection to Denison does not end upon leaving the Hill. In many ways, it's just beginning.
When I reflect on what I enjoy most about teaching my answer comes immediately: I am in the business of thinking. I view teaching as a multidirectional learning process especially successful at the liberal arts college, where we connect all fields of knowledge to establish intellectual foundations for life-long learning. Teaching at Denison University has given me a renewed desire to learn as I feel inspired by my colleagues' examples and the students' demands for excellence.
There are three goals that animate my teaching: I put students at the center of the learning process, I help them develop their self-awareness and intrinsic motivation (which I think are indispensable for life-long learning), and I provide collaborative learning environments as I see them critical to educating responsible citizens.
Specific themes that I incorporate into my classes are:
My teaching at Denison University is enhanced by my specialization in contemporary literatures and cultures of Spain. These are some topics I examine in my research, and that we analyze in most of my classes:
Dr. Belinda Andrews-Smith is the Coordinator of Vocal Studies and the director of Singer's Theatre Workshop for the Denison Music Department.
An accomplished classical singer, Dr. Smith has been a featured soloist in numerous performances of oratorios and operas including her favorites; The Queen of the Night (The Magic Flute), with OSU and OU opera theatre and The Queen of the Fairies (Iolanthe) with Opera Columbus.
Dr. Smith's research interests are intermingled with voice science and healthy vocal production in all singing styles. She is trained in both commercial and classical singing techniques including belt technique. Her musical theatre students have won awards for their singing every year for over ten years at the state level NATS competitions and former students are performing on and off Broadway, in regional theaters, and in National Broadway tours.
The ensemble Dr. Smith created at Denison, Singer's Theatre Workshop, has become an extension of her unique vocal pedagogy and classical training. This popular course takes the voice studio to the stage. Singer's Theatre Workshop has presented more than 30 musicals and operettas during Dr. Smith's directing career at Denison and her productions have become "standing room only" events on campus.
Each year, tuition covers only about two-thirds of the actual cost of educating a Denison student. The Annual Fund bridges the gap between tuition and other income and the actual cost of educating our students. That means the college relies on the generosity of alumni, family and friends to keep the college strong.
As an institution centered on learning, Denison's commitments to discerning moral agency, autonomous thinking and respect for human dignity are expressed in our guiding documents, the mission statement and Campus Compact. It is the responsibility of all student organizations, groups and teams to encourage an atmosphere of learning, social responsibility, and respect for human dignity and to provide positive influences and constructive development for members and aspiring members.
Learning a foreign language contributes to our education by providing an intimate exercise in cultural and linguistic concepts that open up new vistas. The Department of Modern Languages offers Arabic language courses for the purpose of general education and in support of other college programs, introducing the diverse and dynamic culture, writings, and traditions of Arab society from Africa to Asia.
"Dr. Lauren Araiza joined the faculty at Denison in the spring of 2007. She teaches survey courses in African-American history and the U.S. since 1865. She also offers seminars on the Civil Rights Movement, the intellectual history of Black Power, the American West, and comparative social movements. Her other teaching interests include labor history, comparative race and ethnicity, and oral history.
Dr. Araiza's first book, To March for Others: The Black Freedom Struggle and the United Farm Workers, was published in the fall of 2013 by the University of Pennsylvania Press. Her book examines the complexities of multiracial coalition building in Amerian social movements by examining the relationships between the major organizations of the black freedom struggle and the UFW, a union of primarily Mexican American farm workers. Dr. Araiza has also published in the Journal of African American History and has contributed an essay to the edited collection, The Struggle in Black and Brown: African American and Mexican American Relations During the Civil Rights Era (University of Nebraska Press, 2011).
Dr. Araiza received her BA from Williams College and her MA and PhD from the University of California, Berkeley."
When I started my college studies, my professional path was quite clear: I would become a professor of English in France. But life has a way to bring wonderful and unforeseen opportunities leading me to this small liberal arts college where I have enjoyed sharing my love for the French language, literature, and culture.
For each French course I teach my main objectives are to help my students develop their linguistic skills as well as a deeper cultural and literary appreciation for the French-speaking world, which will in turn allow them to become more mindful individuals who will enjoy communicating with people from 32 countries. Every speech act is a cultural act, every literary text is a cultural and ideological artifact which must be examined from various perspectives, critiqued, deconstructed in order to discover its subtleties and sometimes its contradictions. Therefore, I encourage my students to engage in this multi-faceted learning and to reassess their gender-, class- and nation-centered views and expectations.
My latest courses examine French gastronomy as an instrument of religious, political, and colonial power. Issues of national, social, and sexual identity are often at the center of my literature courses.
Since my teaching is vastly informed by my research, you will not be surprised to learn that I have written on food symbolism in literary texts, identity issues of marginalized characters in fictions from the Middle Ages and the 20th Century, and teaching grammar through fairy tales. Fascinated by French novelist and Literature Nobel prize winner André Gide's works, his fictions remain at the core of my literary analyses. My two current projects entail a translation into English of Gide's farce Les caves du Vatican, and a manuscript on food as a social marker of ostracization in Gide's fictional works.
I have served on many university-wide committees. I am especially interested in enhancing student residential and academic life. Particularly involved in extracurricular activities, you will find me chatting at our weekly conversation group (café francophone), cooking with our French students in our Language and Culture House, playing pétanque, and attending the Richmond Film Festival (in Virginia) with some of our students.
The Art History & Visual Culture Program at Denison is designed to identify and develop critical awareness, in accordance with the general aim of a liberal education. This program provides students with the opportunity for instruction and practice in the visual arts as preparation for graduate studies and professional pursuits in this field.
Course and laboratory work in astronomy explores the physical and observational background of such topics as the history of astronomy, naked eye observations, the planets and moons, the origin of the solar system, stellar classification, stellar evolution, galactic astronomy, and cosmology, with an emphasis on the quantitative nature of modern astronomy.
The physical education department provides students with the opportunities to gain knowledge and skills to help future generations improve their physical and mental well-being through programs of athletics, physical education, and recreation.
For all student-athletes at DU, participation in intercollegiate sports is an integral part of their overall educational experience. Athletic teams at Denison are consistently competitive on the conference and national levels. The tradition of excellence associated with Denison athletic programs is due, in part, to the winning heritage which has been established over more than a century of intercollegiate competition.
Greg earned a B.S. in education from Bowling Green State University and holds an M.A. in higher education and student affairs from Ohio State University.

As a team, DU finished fourth in the North Coast Athletic Conference for the third consecutive season.
While Denison recently added women's golf as a varsity sport in the fall of 2006, Bailey has been affiliated with Big Red women's golf since 2002 when it was a club sport. From 2002 through 2006 Bailey was the head coach of the Denison women's golf club team. In 2006-07 he moved into the role of assistant coach with the varsity program. Since he began working with the Denison women's golf program he has provided the on-course instruction and has traveled with the team to various tournaments around the state.
Bailey is a Certified PGA Professional and is currently the Assistant Golf Professional at Granville Golf Course. In 2008 he was awarded the Southern Ohio PGA Member Assistant of the Year award and is currently serving on the Southern Ohio PGA education committee. An accomplished amateur golfer, Bailey is an eight-time club champion at Moundbuilders Country Club in Newark, Ohio.

Adam Kennedy is at second base today and should be there more moving forward.
When the Nationals broke camp in Viera, Fla., three months ago, Jim Riggleman's plan was to use Ian Desmond and Adam Kennedy as his regular starting middle infield, with Cristian Guzman filling in at both spots as a reserve.
Somewhere along the way, the plan changed. Desmond became the everyday shortstop and Guzman became the regular second baseman, leaving Kennedy rotting on the bench. When the veteran did play, he struggled at the plate and in the field.
So today, Riggleman made it clear he intends to go back to the original plan. Kennedy is in the lineup starting at second base against the Mets, and he figures to get significantly more time there moving forward.
"Earlier in the year, we were winning more games when that rotation there was more involved," Riggleman said. "I kind of fell into the trap. When Cristian Guzman was just tearing the cover off the ball, it just became too hard not to put him in there. And when I did that, IRead more »

How the hell can he make that statement when he has NEVER put his best lineup out there for more than 2 games in a row?
- Anonymous - Jul 3, 2010 at 8:02 PM
The Phillies are looking for a middle infielder while Utley is out; can you spell "showcase"?
- OlneyTerp - Jul 3, 2010 at 9:12 PM
OK, is it strAHS-burg or str-ASS-burg? Joe Buck has said it both ways.
- Cwj - Jul 3, 2010 at 9:24 PM
Like OlneyTerp, I would like to know the pronunciation as well. I've heard both so many times by the same people I'm confused.
- Mark Zuckerman - Jul 3, 2010 at 9:26 PM
The correct pronunciation is "Strahs-burg." Joe Buck had it wrong earlier in the game.
- phil dunn - Jul 3, 2010 at 9:57 PM
This pathetic team is now grasping at straws. Kennedy can't hit and he can't field. What's the point??? Is Pete Orr next???
- natsfan1a - Jul 4, 2010 at 12:33 AM
Yeah, Buck was really getting on my nerves with that. Also not really thrilled with Millah's talk of the Morgan glove-tossing "highlight." What an O's homer. Heh.
- Steve M. - Jul 4, 2010 at 12:45 AM
I threw up reading this. The guy is a .250 hitter and is not great in the field.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2010 at 1:59 AM
DC needs a Kennedy in town like we need a hole in the head. Time for Rizzo to man up, admit his mistake, and take this mess off of Riggleman's hands.
- HHover - Jul 4, 2010 at 2:36 AM
You folks are forgetting the Jimmy Riggs patented line-up philosophy. When a marginal player is out of sorts and in need of a tune-up, most managers would send them down to the minors. Riggleman sends them into the starting line-up.More seriously–the timing of this makes no sense. Guzman's batting average has been in decline for more than a month, but even with his slide, his BA is better than Kennedy's. And Guzman deserves credit for something else: his strikeouts are down and his BBs are up (only 3 SOs, 6 BBs in his last 10 games, vs 37 SOs and only 8 BBs for the rest of the season). Instead of getting rewarded, he gets platooned.And in the field, Guzman is still better at 2d–6 errors in 399 innings at 2d base, vs the same # in 100 fewer innings for Kennedy. But at SS, I still think you've got to go with Desmond. If Riggs is suggesting he's going to play Guzman more there, then this is a double plus ungood idea.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2010 at 11:54 AM
I think that Guzman has figured in everything good that has happened this year. [And a few not so good moments, too, I guess.] Anyway, it seems to me like he's one of the guys that should be somewhere in the lineup every day.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2010 at 11:56 AM
I missed the TV coverage so I can't comment on Buck. Typically I don't find him all that annoying. But McCarver – there's the definition of annyoing. Can't stand his banal chatter.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2010 at 1:26 PM
I know… I know… this doesn't make sense to us, but we're not managing and we've got 20-20 hindsight. Riggs is making some sense here: our offence was beter, our defense was better (look it up), and our record was better.Personally, I think our problems are mental. If we can get on a little roll after a H-U-G-E win, things might turn around.
- Anonymous - Jul 4, 2010 at 4:03 PM
Kennedy is a better ball player than Guzman, I'd rather see him at 2nd on a regular basis than see Guzman play a lot.
