Ship of Fools is a 1965 drama directed by Stanley Kramer, which recounts the overlapping stories of several passengers aboard an ocean liner bound to Germany from Mexico in 1933. It stars Vivien Leigh, Simone Signoret, José Ferrer, Lee Marvin, Oskar Werner, Michael Dunn, Elizabeth Ashley, George Segal, José Greco and Heinz Rühmann. It was to be Vivien Leigh's last film and Christiane Schmidtmer's first U.S. production.
Ship of Fools was highly regarded, with reviewers praising the cast's performance but also noted the movie's overlong runtime. The movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards in 1966, including for Best Picture, Best Actor for Oskar Werner and Best Actress for Simone Signoret, and won for Best Art Direction, Black-and-White and Best Cinematography, Black-and-White. Both Werner and Signoret's performance, clocking just around 20 minutes, were some of the briefest performances to be nominated for the leading acting category at the Academy Awards.
A pastiche of characters board a German ocean liner in Veracruz, Mexico, for a voyage to Bremerhaven, Germany, along with 600 displaced workers in steerage, being deported from Cuba back to Spain, and a not-so-exotic band of entertainers, for whom the voyage is just a job. Some are happy to be bound for a rising Nazi Germany, some are apprehensive, while others appear oblivious to its potential dangers.
The ship's doctor, Schumann (Oskar Werner) (with dueling scar), takes a special interest in La Condesa (Simone Signoret), a countess from Spain who has an addiction to drugs and is being shipped to a German-run prison. Her sense of certain doom is contrasted by the doctor's determination to fight the forces of oppression, embodied by his insistence that the people in steerage be treated like human beings rather than animals. The doctor himself has a secret, a terminal heart condition, and his sympathy for the countess soon evolves into love.
Several passengers are invited to dine each night at the captain's table. There, some are amused and others offended by the Anti-Semitic rants of a German businessman named Rieber (José Ferrer). The Jewish Lowenthal (Heinz Rühmann) is invited instead to join a dwarf named Glocken (Michael Dunn) for his meals, and the two bond over their exclusion. Eventually a passenger named Freytag (Alf Kjellin) seems shocked to find himself ostracized when Rieber learns that his wife is Jewish.
Others aboard include a young American couple, David (George Segal) and Jenny (Elizabeth Ashley), who bicker because David is unhappy at his lack of success with painting. A divorcée, Mary Treadwell (Vivien Leigh), drinks and flirts, on a quest to recapture her youth in Paris. Bill Tenny (Lee Marvin) is a former baseball player disappointed in the way his career never quite took off. They are distracted by the music and the professional dancers, whose flirtations seem to skirt the edges of solicitation, or dive right in to the seedy side of oblivion.
When the passengers disembark, two are no longer with them - the countess, who has been taken to an island prison, and the doctor, who has died.

Katherine Anne Porter's novel, Ship of Fools was published in 1962.[4] The celebrated essayist and short story author's sole novel was the culmination of a 20-year-long project that was based on her reminiscences of a 1931 ocean cruise she had taken from Vera Cruz to Germany.[N 1][6]
Producer David O. Selznick was after the film rights but United Artists who owned the property, demanded $400,000. The novel was adapted for film by Abby Mann. Producer and director Stanley Kramer who ended up with the film, planned to star Vivien Leigh but was initially unaware of the fragile mental and physical health of his star.[N 2] The film proved to be her last film and in later recounting her work, he remembered her courage in taking on the difficult role, "She was ill, and the courage to go ahead, the courage to make the film-was almost unbelievable."[6] Leigh's performance was tinged by paranoia and resulted in outbursts that marred her relationship with other actors, although both Simone Signoret and Lee Marvin were sympathetic and understanding.[8] In one unusual instance, she hit Marvin so hard with a spiked shoe, that it marked his face.[9]
Other acclaimed actors made up the all-star ensemble. The character of the fat man was portrayed by Henry Calvin, who was known for starring on Walt Disney's television series, Zorro as Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia. Lt. Huebner was portrayed by Werner Klemperer, who was best known for his portrayal of Colonel Wilhelm Klink in the 1965–1971 CBS television comedy, Hogan's Heroes.[10]
Although both acclaimed critically and well received by audiences, Ship of Fools was looked at by some reviewers as a Grand Hotel afloat, the 1932 film that was often aped. "Preachy and melodramatic" was another criticism, although the cast was universally praised.[11]
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times saw the film as much more, "... Stanley Kramer has fetched a powerful, ironic film ... there is such wealth of reflection upon the human condition in Ship of Fools and so subtle an orchestration of the elements of love and hate, achieved through an expert compression of the novel by Mr. Kramer and his script writer, Abby Mann, that it is really not fair to tag it with the label of any previous film. It has its own quiet distinction in the way it illuminates a theme." He also singled out the work of Oskar Werner.[12] In a similar vein, Variety noted, "Director-producer Stanley Kramer and scenarist Abby Mann have distilled the essence of Katherine Anne Porter's bulky novel in a film that appeals to the intellect and the emotions."[13]
Ship of Fools won Academy Awards for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White (Robert Clatworthy, Joseph Kish) and Best Cinematography, Black-and-White (Ernest Laszlo). Leigh won the L'Étoile de Cristal for her performance in a leading role.[14][N 3] Marvin won the 1966 National Board of Review Award for male actors, while Werner received the 1965 New York Film Critics Circle Award.[15]
The film was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Oskar Werner), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Michael Dunn), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Simone Signoret). In addition, the leading and supporting cast was nominated for British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and Golden Globe Awards.[15] Other nominations included Best Costume Design, Black-and-White (Bill Thomas), Best Picture and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium.[16]
Ship of Fools has been broadcast on television many times over the years, as well as released to VHS, laserdisc and DVD. The film's standalone DVD release is an open-matte pan-and-scan 1.33:1 transfer with no supplements.[17] This release is currently out of print. The film was later reissued in widescreen with supplements in a Stanley Kramer box set from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.[N 4] Currently, the film is also available in a budget-priced two-disc, four-movie collection DVD licensed from Sony to Mill Creek Entertainment[N 5] All four films are presented in their original theatrical aspect ratios and are anamorphically enhanced. The film has been released on Blu-ray in a double feature pack with the film Lilith via Mill Creek.[18]

Destiny USA announced today that, in continuation of its efforts to generate on-site power, it will be installing sixteen 5 kW wind turbines in the auxiliary parking lot on the corner of Hiawatha Boulevard and Solar Street. The eight-foot turbines will be mounted on top of 16 existing light poles in the parking lot, and, at wind speeds of 10-15 mph, will produce between 64,000-84,000 kW hours of clean renewable wind energy, offsetting the need for traditional power sources by over 30%.
"We have made a commitment that Destiny USA will be 100% fossil-fuel free and energy efficient," said Robert Congel, founder and chairman of Destiny USA. "Our goal is to drive global awareness about sustaining our environment. Destiny USA is installing this particular wind turbine technology as a way to visibly communicate that there are multiple ways to meet the green goals set for this project."
Destiny USA engaged Tangarie Energy, a renewable energy service company, for this project because of their unique drill-bit shaped wind turbines that function at wind speeds as low as 4 mph.
"It is our belief that our clients should be empowered to determine their own energy future while also improving the quality of our air and water," said John Besold a principle at Tangarie Energy. "We are excited about the opportunity to showcase this technology and help Destiny USA meet its aggressive renewable energy goals."
The 5 kW turbines produce enough electricity to power more than six average homes for one year and reduce excess carbon emissions by 67 tons annually.
The manufacturing and installation of the turbines is expected to be completed by January 2008.
Wind turbines will help power massive Syracuse mall

Title: | Traversability Metrics for Urban Search and Rescue Robots on Rough Terrain |
Published: | January 31, 2007 |
Abstract: | Rough terrain, such as the rubble that we would expect to find in urban disaster areas, will likely impede robot mobility. The goal of this paper is to find methods for quantifying the difficulty a robot should encounter traversing a region of rough terrain. We construct three metrics describing rough terrain robot mobility. In order to simplify the problem we assume that the rough terrain in question can be discretized in a certain manner and then we develop the metrics for this discretized version of the terrain. Two of these metrics reflect the difficulty a robot would have trying to move over the entire region of terrain, which is what we refer to as the coverability. The other metric describes the difficulty a robot would encounter attempting to move from some fixed point on the terrain to some other fixed point, which we call the crossability. We compute some coverability numbers for NIST step fields and briefly analyze the numerical data that are obtained. |

I have eng galor, i use 7 beams and 1 tricobalt mine. Mine realy helps, aspecially if you want to stop probes\bops\raptors. i have no such problems, 4 probes are almost killed by single FAW.
Also 125 weapon power is "absolutely must have", it will increase dps a lot. Actualy with 100 power 8-th beam decrese dps instead of increasing it.
Also throw away those power transfer console, it does nothing from the moment they changed weapon power drain mechanics.
Use tac BO in universal station if you want DPS. Get attack pattern beta & omega. Get eject warp plasma, its really nice. Get tactical team.
Do not use more than 2 emergency power to * abilities as they have shared CD. I prefer to get 2*EPtS and set weapon preset to 100 reducing shield, which is compensated by EPtS.
You can change HE2 to HE1 (removing tractor beam) and get tractor beam repulsors. It will help to deal witn "defend" tasks.
For a Sci or Engi Weapon Specialization is not worth it. You can gain more weappower and less drain with that extra points in Weap performance. (135 cap or so)
Also because Weap specialization will add very little to a Engi or Sci anyway. And using torps and speccing torp's to max is even more inefficient. Theoretically speccing energy weap specialization will only boost your total DPS for about a few percent.
For tacts its a bit of a different story, since they can already up their CritC alot the weap specialization bonus is much more worth it. Also crit = about spike, something an engy will never do compared to a tactscort.
But thats just my opinion.

SEATTLE — Monday was hard.
"I feel like we should be on a plane right now," Storm center Camille Little said a day after her team fell three points short against Minnesota in Game 2 of its opening-round WNBA playoff series.
Instead of traveling for a decisive Game 3 at the Target Center, Little went through the mundane routine with teammates of physicals, exit interviews and autographing items for offseason promotions. The Storm advanced to a 10th consecutive playoff appearance, exceeding the predictions of most considering Seattle was without mainstays Sue Bird (knee) and Lauren Jackson (hamstring) due to offseason surgeries. But that didn't make Monday feel any better.
"It's never a joy to have your season end," Storm coach Brian Agler said. "But I do think our team achieved a lot this season. They weren't placed in a real positive position early in the year but we had a lot of people step up."
At 17-17, the Storm won one more game than in 2012 when it had both Bird and Jackson. The positive is, after all of the roster changes to quickly fill gaps this season, not much should change in 2014.
Aside from losing retiring veteran Tina Thompson and welcoming back the stars, of course.
Bird is nearly 100 percent healed. She's going to attend a USA Basketball training camp in October but said she wants to wait until her Russian season to test the knee in full-contact practice. She'll play in the Russian League, which is slightly less competitive than her Russian team's parallel EuroLeague schedule.
Jackson, a 6-foot-6 center, played competitive basketball during her Australian national team's two-game run in August to qualify for the 2014 FIBA World Championships. She's headed to play in China this winter.
The bulk of the Storm roster will return. Key reserve Noelle Quinn was a signed to a three-year contract, point guard Temeka Johnson to a two-year deal. Forward Alysha Clark seems to have played herself into a return season, setting career bests during the postseason and finding herself part of the final five in Sunday's loss.
The question, really, is where everyone will fit. Will Johnson have to play off the bench with Bird back to be the starting point guard?
"That's a huge assumption because Temeka is one of our best defenders," Wright said. "(A three-guard lineup) is a quicker lineup. No matter what, you have three people who can attack in the pick-and-roll. I'm sure that's going to be a lineup that, regardless of whether it's a starting lineup, is going to be seen for sure."
Agler likes the early debate. He was one vote shy of Coach of the Year honors this season, many marveling at his ability to find success with a roster whose only star was 17-year veteran Thompson.
Thompson might join Storm post players Shekinna Stricklen, Ashley Robinson and Quinn in South Korea this offseason. That would be her final basketball run, she said.
Really, the only thing that could shake up the Storm is the pending negotiations for the WNBA's new collective-bargaining agreement. The current contract expires Sept. 30, but its expiration will not interrupt postseason play.
The players and league hope to quickly resolve issues like an injured reserve list and the pay scale.
"I would challenge the players to remember that there always needs to be maintenance," Thompson said. "The WNBA, we're not in the clear, yet. There's still work to be done in order for this league to have longevity. Instead of coming in and taking ownership, come in prepared to work, because we need it."

Distributed optical fiber vibration sensor based on spectrum analysis of Polarization-OTDR system
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 14, pp. 10240-10247 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (142 KB)
A fully distributed optical fiber vibration sensor is demonstrated based on spectrum analysis of Polarization-OTDR system. Without performing any data averaging, vibration disturbances up to 5 kHz is successfully demonstrated in a 1km fiber link with 10m spatial resolution. The FFT is performed at each spatial resolution; the relation of the disturbance at each frequency component versus location allows detection of multiple events simultaneously with different and the same frequency components.

An experienced scholar explains why the legendary early Republic, rather than the historical Republic of Cicero, has most influenced later political thought.
It is a fact that the very long-lived Roman Republic has consistently played a surprisingly slight role in political theory and discussions about the nature of democracy, forms of government, and other matters, particularly when compared to the enormous attention paid to fifth-century BCE Athenian democracy. Fergus Millar re-opens the issue of how the Roman Republic was understood and used by political thinkers from the Ancient World to the present. Describing both the reality of the late Roman Republic and showing how its nature was distorted even by contemporary sources, he tracks its treatment (or absence) in political discourse from Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, and in debates surrounding the creation of the American constitution, particularly in the Federalist papers. In brief, clear prose, with quotations in English from important works, and economical use of endnotes, he reinforces his unconventional thesis about the significance of direct democracy in the late Roman Republic. In the process, he also provides an unprecedented tour through 2000 years of Western political theory from the point of view of the Roman Republic, in general, and theories of direct democracy and the balance of power, in particular.
Fergus Millar is Camden Professor of Ancient History at Oxford. A leading scholar of the Roman Republic and Empire, his books include The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic (1998), The Roman Near East, 31 BC–AD 337 (1993), The Emperor in the Roman World, 31 BC–AD 337 (second edition, 1992), and several edited collections. |

Jurassic: The Hunted Review
What the Foxtrot...
When it comes to shooters, there are the titles that are eagerly anticipated by gamers. Borderlands and the recently released Modern Warfare clearly fall into this category, and for good reason: the action, gameplay and cinematic moments from games of this caliber are top notch. Then there are the games that fall short of this mark, but deserve recognition as a guilty pleasure for players; a title that isn't incredible, but is somewhat amusing if you're looking for some mindless fun. Cauldron and Activision's recently released Jurassic: The Hunted, easily falls in the latter category: it's a shooter that pits you against hordes of dinosaurs. It isn't memorable in the least, but it is amusing as a guilty pleasure (or if you're looking for easy trophies).
The plot behind Jurassic feels like it's been ripped directly from a B-movie, which feels rather appropriate to the action of the game. In 1983, an expedition to the Bermuda Triangle disappeared with all hands lost, including the noted Dr. Sayrus, who was leading the journey to the mysterious region. Almost thirty years later, his daughter hires a security firm to help retrace her father's steps, and suddenly stumbles upon his S.O.S. transmission. A few seconds later, their plane is struck by a massive storm that forces them to abandon the aircraft, and as the passengers leap from the plane with parachutes strapped to their backs, they find themselves sucked into energy portals. Players take on the role of Craig Dylan, a member of the security firm that finds himself separated from the rest of his crew on a strange island and surrounded by dinosaurs. It's up to you to fight your way through the scaly beasts, locate your team and figure out a way to escape.
Over the course of fourteen levels, you'll fight your way across the island, fending off attacks from various dinosaurs that lurk in the dense foliage of each environment or warp in via time portals. (No, I'm not making that up -- dinos will actually teleport to your location). You'll do this with a variety of weapons, ranging from pistols to civil war rifles and even crossbows with explosive arrows that conveniently have been scattered all across the island in significant quantities, meaning that you'll never run out of ammo either. While this means that you'll always be able to take out any threats, it brings up one of the biggest issues with the game, which is that the fighting is extremely repetitive. The majority of creatures you go against are Raptors, all of which engage you in the same leaping and circling manner. Yes, they were scary in Jurassic Park, but after blasting through your fourth pack of raptors, it simply becomes a nuisance. You couldn't throw in a rampaging stegosaurus to switch things up?
This boredom is heightened further when you realize that Dylan's special ability to enter a bullet time-like state, which is called an Adrenaline Burst, makes fights much easier. In this state, he can slow down time and see the vital areas of each creature, like their heart, brain and lungs. Being able to target these locations lets him do extra damage and eliminate dinosaurs faster, significantly reducing any serious threat, even in overwhelming numbers. (There are even powerups that you can acquire that provide you with thirty seconds of unlimited Adrenaline, letting you gain a further advantage against the ancient beasts.) Even with the repetitive nature of the game, it's still a lot of fun to blast these prehistoric monsters with RPGs or automatic pistols, which can keep you playing even when you tire of the same creatures.
There is a little variety when it comes to some of the gameplay sequences, as you'll find yourself behind a chaingun or other turret fending off waves of incoming dinos, or ensconced behind the walls of a hastily constructed fort as you try to repel incoming raptor attacks while repairing any destroyed wooden planks that would allow them to flood your defenses. These sections are incredibly fun to play, and even a little challenging at times. It's too bad that there aren't many of them within the game, so just as you start to enjoy yourself, the section is over. At least this thrill is provided within the survivor mode, which allows you to take on endless waves of dinos to see how long you can defend yourself without succumbing. Plus, with the scattered pieces of a weapon strewn across the single player story, there's more of a reason to fight through the creatures so you can use it against them in survivor mode.
As far as the visuals of this slithering shooter are concerned, Jurassic wouldn't be a horrible looking game if it had been one of the first games released for this generation of consoles. That's not to say that there aren't bright spots; the character models of the dinosaurs are particularly well done, down to their animations and their physical look. The same can be said about the foliage, which looks pretty good. Unfortunately, some textures can be very muddy, explosions can appear to be very generic, and there's a ton of pop-in across the game. At least the sound is a bit stronger, with the cries of the ancient lizards echoing over the environments. Dialogue feels appropriately pulled from a b-movie; the tagline at the beginning of this review was taken directly from one of Dylan's exclamations, which is just an indication of the solid script that the voice actors were provided with. That being said, it's still humorous as long as you're not expecting Shakespeare.
Jurassic is a guilty pleasure of a shooter. It certainly has its issues, particularly with repetitive segments of play and easy encounters which clearly hold it back. However, it's more of a diversionary game that you can play for a few hours and be amused by blasting dinosaurs from one side of the island to the other. In that respect, it does its job adequately.

When David Einhorn backed out of buying into the Mets, the Mets announced that rather than finding one big sugar daddy that they'd look for multiple sugar babies instead. Investors looking to give them, say $20 million a pop. The search for such beasts has been ongoing, but it's not going quickly:
At this point, none of the units have been sold, said two people briefed on the status of the sales who spoke on the condition of anonymity. They added that there were strong buyer commitments for as many as seven of the shares. However, until there are equally firm offers for the other units, it is possible that none of them will be sold.
I still don't get who would want to own a small part of a closely-held corporation like this. No control and the possibility of capital calls whenever. Fine, you can say you own a piece of the Mets and get a suite at the games. I could go to parties all over the city for a year and tell people I own part of the Mets and I bet no one would bother to call my bluff. A suite can be had for less than $20 million.
Oh well. The rich are different than you and me.

I wonder if in person Fred appears as much a snake oil sales man as he does in all of his HBT pics? I have as yet to see an HBT article featuring him or is spawn that would make me want to leave even $ 10 in Wilponian care. If they want to sell these shares, they need to get Fred and Jeff away from them. While at that, why not get the whole team away from them?

The Wilpon's aren't good for MLB or NY Met fans. MLB forced the Dodgers into a sale and the Mets should be next. The Wilpon's are broke and being sued for 500 million and it is high time the Madoff boys are made history.

Outside of a recent lottery winner that happens to be a Mets fan, I don't think anyone with the means could be convinced to buy into that debacle. They could try selling controlling shares of Netflix while they're at it.

COLUMBIA — The Citizens Police Review Board can breathe a sigh of relief.
The Columbia City Council proposed to grant the board $8,700 in 2011 at its budget hearing Tuesday night, after supporters implored the council not to set the 8-month-old board up for failure with a $4,600 budget.
Money was the topic of the evening, as council members presented proposed cuts to about a dozen areas of the budget, and residents spoke out against rising utility costs. Mayor Bob McDavid also called for the 2011 electric rate increase to be lowered from 3 percent to 2 percent.
The council also accepted Police Chief Ken Burton's request to add two joint communication operators, the workers who field 911 calls, next year in lieu of a second police officer. Burton said this addition would help forestall service reductions at joint communications.
The council is scheduled to approve a total budget of $385.5 million after a third public hearing at its Sept. 20 meeting.
Citizens Police Review Board budget
The decision to increase the Citizens Police Review Board's budget came after a series of residents took the podium Tuesday to protest the drastic cut to the board's 2011 budget from $23,200 to $4,600.
They argued that after investing four years into bringing the board to existence, leaving it on a shoestring budget would keep it from being able to carry out its function of increasing the community's trust in the Police Department.
"What you'd be doing is cutting out any kinds of investigative services the board could provide," said David Tyson Smith, an attorney who served on the board's oversight committee.
The board was established in 2009 in response to the violent arrest of a 34-year-old woman at Columbia Mall in 2006.
At first, some council members were skeptical as to why the board members themselves couldn't carry out these investigative services and had to spend money to hire an investigator.
In the end, Smith convinced them that an independent investigator would provide the distance from the situation necessary for a balanced investigation.
McDavid was the sole holdout: He said it was his understanding that the board's charge was never to conduct independent investigations, and it could always come to the City Council in the future if it needed the resources for an investigation.
Utility rate increases
Residents will see utility rate increases across the board next year, but McDavid asked for a small, but symbolic, change in the electric rate increase from 3 percent to 2 percent.
"It's a message to all the city government enterprises: We got to do better because we can't be passing this on in this kind of economic reality to citizens," he said.
City Manager Bill Watkins, seated next to the mayor, slouched and rocked in his seat as McDavid questioned the necessity for such high rate increases. Sewer rates will increase by 15 percent, water rates by 10 percent, electric rates by 3 percent and garbage collection fees by $1.
"We need to run our organization tightly," McDavid said. "We need to decrease operational costs."
Watkins defended the increases, saying they partly reflected the costs of required changes the city made to comply with new utility regulations. He said the ultimate decision on utility rates rested with the council.
"If you need to challenge us, we'll live up to those challenges," he said to McDavid.
Relief for joint communications
It's not common for departments to refuse offers of money. But at the pre-meeting dinner, Burton requested that the money the council had found for an extra police officer be used instead for two 911 operators.
"We're her customers," Burton said, referring to joint communications director Zim Schwartze, who stood beside him. "I'd rather give her a couple of dispatchers so that services don't have to be cut."
Fifth Ward Councilwoman Laura Nauser raised the concern that the addition of one police officer and two 911 operators would cost more in the long run than the original proposal of two police officers and a police car: A new hire is a recurring cost, while a car is not.
The council accepted Burton's request in the end.
The council will make final decisions on the budget Sept. 20.

Hi all, If you haven�t had the opportunity to check out West African music, you should! My favorites come right from the country of Mali where I�m presently teaching. Any kora music will be wonderful, but probably the most talented kora player (it�s a 21-stringed West African instrument created from half a large gourd covered with stretched leather, with a wooden neck) is Toumani Diabate. Other great players include Ballake Sissoko and some from Guinea. The music is wonderful for in the background. Toumani has a few CD�s out with blues singer/guitarist Taj Mahal. Other great musicians here include Ala Farka Toure (he also plays some great songs with Ry Cooder), Rokia Traore, Boubacar Traore, Neba Solo (an awesome balaphone player), Habib Koite, Salif Keita, and Djelimady Toukara and the Super Rail Band. A nice compilation is a Mali/Blues CD called �From Mali to Memphis.� If anyone is interested in specific CD�s or artists, I�d be happy to offer my opinions and expertise.

So, I decided to go down to the Laundromat (Olympic Market at 2801 E. Olympic Blvd. in Los Angeles) and get some Tylenols and a soda pop," the 54-year-old mother of two remembered.
While she was there, she also figured why not pick up some of her "regular" Scratchers games, including her favorite – the $10 Bonus Crossword. Luna said she went home and a friend picked her up to go play Bingo. "I was still scratching it (the Bonus Crossword) on the way to Bingo, and all these (winning) words were popping up out of nowhere. I thought I scratched something wrong, but I told my friend, 'Turn around, let's go back to the Laundromat. I think I won $750!'"
Good thing they went back, but boy was Luna wrong! She was off on the amount by three zeroes. "He (the retailer) put it through the machine and said, 'You won the big one!' And I was like, 'How much is the big one?' When he told me it was $750,000, I said, 'Oh yea, you're lying!'" Luna recalled with a laugh. But it was no lie. This Los Angeles mom is now three quarters of a million dollars richer.
Aside from paying her bills, Luna says she has big plans for the money. "I'm going to purchase my home. I am. That's my goal. I've always dreamed of my own home. And you know, I'm getting older, so that's what I really want!"
This is the first big win playing the Lottery for Luna, who remembers winning decent prizes of $100 and $500 in the past. "But this is the first one I've ever won big. And I'm hoping for another one!" she said laughing. "If this came in, there will be another day. And I'll be here (to collect it)!"
Bonus Crossword Scratchers is part of the Lottery's continued effort to give out more prizes, create more winners and earn more money for California public schools. For more information on how to play the game, click here.
Keep in mind, the winning certainly doesn't stop there! Like all Lottery Scratchers games, the Bonus Crossword game comes with a second chance to win the top prize. Just subscribe to our 2nd Chance Program and submit any non-winning Bonus Crossword Scratchers ticket codes for another chance to win.

Dear Tom,
I heard about a severe snowstorm that hit Chicago in December 1929. Can you provide details?
—Ernie Brand, Oak Lawn
Dear Ernie,
That snowstorm was one of the worst ever to hit Chicago up to that time. The storm began Dec. 17, 1929, and by the time the snow abated late on Dec. 19, nearly 15 inches had accumulated. Strong northeast to north winds gusted to nearly 50 mph and created drifts 4-8 feet high. Traffic was crippled, and many of the city's side streets were impassable for more than a week. Railroads continued to operate, though there were great delays due to clogged switches. The high winds produced huge waves on Lake Michigan that damaged the shoreline and flooded streets adjacent to the lake. Chicagoans had a very white Christmas that year with 10 inches of snow on the ground Christmas morning.

Classic Satin Gloves
Demurely wrist-length, these silky and stretchy gloves would be the finishing touch to any outfit... And would look pretty great on their own.
Sizing Tips
Would work best for small to medium hands. There's lots of stretch and finger room, but wider hands will have discomfort with the thumb gusset.
Additional Info: Made in Korea and in China. Leg Avenue has close relationships with its manufacturers, visits their facilities on a regular basis and requires they comply with fair trade standards and follow ethical labor practices.
Fiber Content: No fiber information currently available, but these feel like a pretty high nylon content.
Label: Leg Avenue

For medium hands only
I bought a pair of these in black some weeks ago, and I must say they are NOT for small hands. There was far too much room in the body of the glove, and the fingers were just a bit too loose. They are lovely gloves, however, and I imagine they will do just fine for medium hands.

Does the job!
These gloves are not a perfect fit for me (I have to fuss with the thumbs a bit to get it fully on my thumbs), but are comfortable and look like they are pictured.
Not 5 stars for me because within a day, a seam came undone completely around the cuff of one of my gloves. They were used for a costume, but no rough usage, so I am a little disappointed about the threading.

Kinda Weird Feeling
On the tips of your fingers all the seams conjoin so you can't really fit your entire finger in the glove. They're a little small if you have bigger hands, I wish they had different sizes.

NSAID Pain Relievers Raise Heart Risks »
"Jan. 12, 2011 -- A new study weighs in on the debate over the relative safety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), commonly used to treat joint and muscle aches and pain.
The study, published online in the BMJ,"...
Voltaren Gel
Voltaren Gel Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Voltaren Gel (diclofenac sodium topical gel) is a topical gel medication that belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is used for the treatment of pain of osteoarthritis of joints that are amenable to topical treatment, such the hands and knees. Most common side effects of Voltaren Gel are gastrointestinal disturbances including ulcer formation.
The amount of Voltaren Gel should be measured using the dosing card supplied with the product. Potential drug interactions include aspirin, lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), blood pressure medications, methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall), certain antibiotics, other topical product treatments, and anticoagulants. Like other NSAIDs, Voltaren Gel is generally avoided during pregnancy because it may affect the cardiovascular system of the fetus. It is not known whether Voltaren Gel is excreted in breast milk.
Our Voltaren Gel Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.

Voltaren Gel FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Clinical Studies Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
During clinical development, 913 patients were exposed to Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) in randomized, double-blind, multicenter, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group studies in osteoarthritis of the superficial joints of the extremities. Of these, 513 patients received Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) for osteoarthritis of the knee and 400 were treated for osteoarthritis of the hand. Additionally, 583 patients were exposed to Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) in an uncontrolled, open-label, long-term safety trial in osteoarthritis of the knee. Of these, 355 patients were treated for osteoarthritis of 1 knee and 228 were treated for osteoarthritis of both knees. Duration of exposure ranged from 8 to 12 weeks for the placebo-controlled studies, and up to 12 months for the open-label safety trial.
Short-Term Placebo-Controlled Trials
Adverse reactions observed in at least 1% of patients treated with Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) :
Non-serious adverse reactions that were reported during the short-term placebo-controlled studies comparing Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) and placebo (vehicle gel) over study periods of 8 to 12 weeks (16 g per day), were application site reactions. These were the only adverse reactions that occurred in > 1% of treated patients with a greater frequency in the Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) group (7%) than the placebo group (2%).
Table 1 lists the types of application site reactions reported. Application site dermatitis was the most frequent type of application site reaction and was reported by 4% of patients treated with Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) , compared to 1% of placebo patients.

† Preferred Term according to MedDRA 9.1 |
In the placebo-controlled trials, the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 5% for patients treated with Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) , and 3% for patients in the placebo group. Application site reactions, including application site dermatitis, were the most frequent reason for treatment discontinuation.
Long-term Open-label Safety Trial
In the open-label, long-term safety study, distribution of adverse reactions was similar to that in the placebo-controlled studies. In this study, where patients were treated for up to 1 year with Voltaren® Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) up to 32 g per day, application site dermatitis was observed in 11% of patients. Adverse reactions that led to the discontinuation of the study drug were experienced in 12% of patients. The most common adverse reaction that led to discontinuation of the study was application site dermatitis, which was experienced by 6% of patients.

Darren Clarke's British Open win is a wonderful opportunity for Tourism Ireland to showcase golf in Northern Ireland, and across the island of Ireland, to potential golf visitors around the world.
Congratulating Darren Clarke on his well-deserved win, Niall Gibbons, Tourism Ireland chief executive, said: "This was a superb victory for Darren at Royal St George's and we are delighted for him. He is such a terrific ambassador for golf and for Northern Ireland and this victory has placed golf in Northern Ireland, once more, to the forefront of everyone's mind. Tourism Ireland is working hard to capitalise on this in GB, the US and in our other golf markets around the world where we are inviting potential holidaymakers to come visit the 'Home of Champions'."
"This has been an extraordinary 13 months for Northern Ireland golf with Darren's win yesterday coming on top of Rory's McIlroy's success at the US Open earlier this year and Graeme McDowell's victory in 2010," said Niall Gibbons.

Alice Springs may be the Northern Territory's party central but Darwin is no slouch in the fun stakes either. There is a SKYCITY casino here, nightly markets on the beach and more restaurants and bars than you could shake a didgeridoo at. No one needs to be bored for long in Darwin.
Darwin cuisine fuses Pacific Rim flavors with tastes from the neighboring Indo-Malay region. Into this enticing mix is the Australian love of great steak, lamb and seafood, especially prawns and crayfish. The huge Australian fish, the barramundi, is presented in a number of inventive ways. All of them delicious.
Darwin is a safe and friendly city and the crime rate here is extremely low. What visitors do need to be prepared for though are the ever present dangers and irritations of nature. Crocodiles and box jellyfish make swimming off the water of Darwin unsafe. Extreme heat needs to be moderated also. Other travel needs are well catered for with plenty of ATMs and tourist information offices.
Many people use Darwin as a hub for travel into the Northern Territory and it is ideal for this purpose with its international airport and numerous regional air routes, as well as countless travel agencies offering regular bus tours to all the big sights. For those who stay in town and many do they will find a city full of appeals.
Given that it is a last frontier city built on swampland and closer to Jakarta than to Sydney, Darwin is exceptionally cosmopolitan.
Darwin is a great place to invest in aboriginal art and craft since most of the work on sale in Darwin's many galleries and souvenir shops is produced by local artists. One thing that many tourists may want to be mindful of is that some local artists receive a very small percentage of the high sale prices. Galleries and stores that practice more equitable exchanges will advertise as such in their windows and brochures.

Last week I was transporting the boat and allowed a bow strap end to drag under the car. The wheel caught it and yanked the bow down hard and put three big cracks in the hull amidships. I called Delta and was connected immediately to Mark Hall, the owner. He assured me the repair was not a big deal, explained the materials and process and offered to advise the repair person. What great service. It's now being repaired for only $200. The storage capacity is enormous! Great boat.

Where we recap a wide-ranging interview with NHLPA chief Donald Fehr
Jan 26, 2012, 2:22 PM EDT
The Hockey News had a long talk with NHLPA chief Donald Fehr recently to get his take on the upcoming CBA negotiations, as well as other union-related issues. You can read the entire interview here, but for the time challenged, here are three things we took away that haven't been written a billion times already:
1. Fehr's heard the rumors about the league possibly trying to cut the players' share of revenue, but they'll cross that bridge when/if they get to it. Just because the NBA and NFL did it doesn't mean the NHL will, too.
2. He suggests baseball is in a good spot financially largely due to MLB's "extensive revenue sharing" program. Translation: If small-market NHL owners want to improve their bottom lines, don't ask the players to take pay cuts, ask the owners of the rich teams to spread more of their wealth around.
3. In speaking with the players, they've told him they want to make the game safer, but they "still want it to be a hockey game." In other words, let's not try to cover everything in bubble-wrap – they're big boys, they've accepted the risks, now drop the puck.

Sounds to me like the first two translate into LOCKOUT.

Yup. Can't overstate his role in the lockout and his slippery defense of MLB players' right to not be tested for steroids.
I've seen nothing to dissuade me from the belief this is going to end in massive acrimony.
"Donald Fehr: The league went into their owners meeting, they came out with a realignment plan, and obviously it required the players' consent. We got into the details on it, we found out the background and information and there were two significant issues from the players' standpoint: one was assurances as to what the travel would be, and unfortunately, we weren't able to get those assurances. The league was not in the position even to give us a drafted schedule, which makes any analysis very difficult. "
But how could you not tell that a lot of teams were going to have an easier travel load just by looking at the geography and the divisional playoffs? He's looking for trouble
