Injured middle linebacker Brian Urlacher practiced with the Chicago Bears for the first time in three weeks but was listed as doubtful for Sunday's critical game against Detroit. Urlacher saw limited duty in Friday's practice. He is trying to come back from a hamstring strain on Dec. 2 that forced him to miss the past three games. The Bears (9-6) need a victory Sunday to keep their wild-card playoff hopes alive. "I was encouraged that he was finally able to get on the practice field," coach Lovie Smith said, according to ESPNChicago.com. "It's not like we had a full-padded practice today, though, but he was able to move around which we thought he would be able to do. He's making the normal progress we had hoped he would make, he has made." Smith didn't indicate when a decision might be made on Urlacher's status for Sunday. "Brian doesn't have to necessarily practice a full practice before we would play him, but we are not to that point," Smith said. "Just going to look at ...

Cyber case puts more strain on US-China relations
WASHINGTON (AP) — The indictment of five Chinese military officials on cyber espionage charges will intensify friction between Beijing and Washington that has been growing as China gets bolder in asserting its territorial claims in disputed seas in East Asia.
That doesn't mean there will be a fracture in the U.S.-China relationship, which remains vital for both of the world powers, but it raises major doubts about the ability of U.S. and China to manage their differences.
"This adds to the mounting list of hugely problematic issues between the U.S. and China," said Jonathan Pollack, a specialist on East Asian politics and security at the Brookings Institution think tank. "Barring a level of candor and disclosure from China on some of these issues that we haven't seen to date, it seems to me we're heading for very troubled waters."
China reacted swiftly to the indictment that accuses the military officials of hacking big-name American makers of nuclear and solar technology. It rejected the allegations as "ungrounded and absurd" and denied its military or government personnel had ever participated in cyber theft of trade secrets. On Tuesday, China warned the United States was jeopardizing military ties and demanded Washington withdraw the indictment.
China also pulled out of working discussions on cyber security — an issue that loomed large when President Barack Obama met last June with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
That summit, held in California, was intended to set a positive tone for the relationship, what Beijing likes to call a "new model of great power relations." But the cracks in that model are already showing.
The two governments have tried, with limited success, to find common cause in resisting North Korea's development of nuclear weapons. They made strides last year toward negotiating a bilateral investment treaty that would deepen an economic relationship in which two-way trade already exceeds $560 billion.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. expects China to understand that the indictment relates to law enforcement, and that the two nations can still have a "constructive and productive relationship." She said she expected a high-level U.S.-China security and economic dialogue to go ahead as planned in about two months' time.
Michael Pillsbury, a former senior U.S. defense department official and China specialist, noted that Washington only announced the indictment nearly three weeks after it was made by a grand jury in Pennsylvania. That means it did not cloud the visit to Washington last week by China's People's Liberation Army's Chief of the General Staff, Gen. Fang Fenghui, who met Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey. The two generals stressed the importance of military cooperation for regional stability.
But as China's power rises, and the U.S. attempts to broaden its footprint in Asia as part of its attempt to rebalance its foreign policy after a decade of war in the Middle East, there are growing areas of disagreement.
China has taken an increasingly strident approach in disputes with U.S. allies Japan and the Philippines over disputed islands and reefs in the East and South China seas. Washington has called out China over its "provocative" actions.

Star Battle
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
The game is of the known family, but the balance is moved so, that the standard RTS strategy – build, concentrate and get – simply won't work. The game is totally dynamic – you should optimize the placement of your ships again and again so, that your power will build new ships fasted than enemies. Also, the game on the hard level is so fast, even on slower phones, that you have to optimize your own time – you simply can't control everything in time.
A rank stairs is included, with a hidden rank for the best players. It IS reachable, we know it :-).
Choose wisely and quickly and you will be on the top!

Oh, Sweet Lady- You are WAY ahead of me on the photo end of things. I have a little point and shoot and use Picmonkey. LOL. I'll come back and take some lessons from you when you get it all figured out! Have a wonderful night- xo Diana

First, I hope everything is going well with your Mom.
I also have PSE, but find it has a huge learning curve and takes a long time to get my photos edited the way I want. I've been using Picasa, which is FREE and offers lots of options that are easy to use. You can create albums for certain photos -- I use this a lot and find it very handy for the photos I want to share in a blog post. You can also just leave photos in folders by the date you download them. Another great feature is Creating Collages. The photo editing aspect is simple but very adequate. I also use Picmonkey, but only for creating my blog headers.
I have a Nikon D3100 with one extra lens. I would love to someday add a telephoto lens, but that expensive little gem won't be hopping in my shopping cart any time soon.....lol! My Nikon has a built-in timer and we have a tripod, but have never used the timer feature. I don't think I would use a remote button. I've also never felt the need for a light box.
Hope this helps!

Hi Cindy,
When I read about the equipment, lenses, tripods, etc. that a lot of bloggers use, I realize I'm not going to win a prize for best photos. :-))
I downloaded a free photo editing program that serves my purposes just fine at this point.

I have an Canon SX50 and love it.
I use iPhoto for my editing and then I make my collages in Picmonkey and I pay the premium rate to have all the options.
I have used Photo Shop and like that program also.

Here at Scholarships.com, our goal is to make finding money for college as easy as possible. Paying the full cost of tuition out of pocket isn't in the cards for most college-bound students and high-interest loans aren't the most desirable options for others, meaning some students' quests for postsecondary degrees must be funded solely by scholarships, grants and fellowships. Can it be done? Of course it can. You just need the right people on your side.
Alaska Governor Sean Parnell recently requested the funding of the incoming Alaska Performance Scholarship program, a nurse training proposal and a handful of other educational priorities from state lawmakers. While Parnell feels students have worked hard to earn state-funded performance-based scholarship dollars and would be "out to dry" without it, senators worry the program could leave rural students behind if aid is distributed unevenly across the state...not to mention create a potential legal problem given the state constitution's promise of fair education services. Students seeking need-based grants do have the existing AlaskAdvantage program to turn to but it is significantly underfunded. It could, however, gain support through Senate Bill 43, which calls for AlaskAdvantage to receive $7 million of the proposed $21 million in state college scholarship funding on an annual basis.
Will it happen? Our Magic 8-Ball says "cannot predict now" but we hope it goes through for the sake of the many students in need. How are you currently paying for or planning to pay for school? What programs have you found most helpful in securing the funding you need?

It's not long into April Fools' Day but we've already encountered lots of fake educational news. First, it was revealed that GWU President Steven Schnapps' fist pumping was responsible for the destruction in a campus residence hall. Next, Bryn Mawr announced it had partnered with Bithnian University of Science and Technology to take its alien research to the next level. And lastly, college acceptance rates plummeted at universities across the country. Oh wait, that last one wasn't a joke at all.
The New York Times' The Choice blog recently published a table of admissions statistics from 32 selective U.S. colleges and the data show a drop in acceptance rates across the board. Not surprisingly, the lowest acceptance rates were at Harvard (6.2 percent, an all-time low for the Ivy), Columbia (6.9 percent), Stanford (7.1 percent), Yale (7.4 percent) and Princeton (8.4 percent) but what's interesting is that this year, records were broken for applications received. The schools' explanations for the limited fat envelopes sent out? They just had far too many outstanding applicants.
There are many factors to consider – for example, high school seniors are applying to more schools than ever before to ensure they have at least one place to attend college – but nothing takes the sting out of "We regret to inform you..." topping a decision letter. Applicants, how have you fared in the admissions race? Were you rejected or waitlisted at a school you considered a safety? Did you score admission at your first-choice school? Are any of you still waiting to learn your higher education fates? Have you already sent in a deposit or are you still securing enough financial aid to pay for school?

Winning scholarship money is great but doing so without having to meet astronomical word counts and double-digit page requirements is even better. That's why we've launched the Short and Tweet Scholarship, where you could win $1,000 for writing a 140-characters Twitter post!
In addition to the 2.7 million scholarships already in our database, we've created the Short and Tweet Twitter Scholarship, which rewards students for doing something they do every day: communicate online. To enter, simply log on to Twitter (create an account if you don't already have one), follow us, then @reply us and explain what an extra $1,000 for college would mean to you as creatively and meaningfully as possible.
That's it. No lengthy essay. No paperwork. Just your thoughts, in real time. Good luck!
Step 1: Follow Scholarships.com on Twitter.
Step 2: @reply us with a tweet answering the question "What would an extra $1,000 for college mean to you?" Once you do this, you are automatically entered to win a $1,000 scholarship.
Step 3: You may enter as many times as you want but please limit your tweets to a reasonable amount per day. Each tweet will be a stand-alone entry and tweets that are submitted by non-followers, exceed 140 characters, do not include @Scholarshipscom or are submitted after the May 31st deadline will not be considered. From there, the Scholarships.com Team will determine which comment is most deserving of the award.

If you are attending college, you probably need some form of financial aid to pay for tuition, room and board, books and other living expenses. Next year, it's likely you'll need a little bit more.
The Columbus Dispatch recently reported the number of students in the U.S. who have filed forms for federal financial aid for the 2011-2012 academic year has increased by about 1 million from last year. At Ohio State alone, requests are up about 10,600 from two years ago - a 22-percent jump, says financial aid director Diane Stemper. Ohio University's Sondra Williams reports a similar trend with a 12-percent increase in federal financial aid applications. The reasons for the increased need aren't surprising. "Many people who used to have the resources to send their children to college have lost their jobs or been downsized," Stemper said, adding lower home and stock values and rising food and gas prices are also culprits.
Though more students are getting the aid they require – OSU has seen an increase in Pell Grant recipients enrolled and OU has more students receiving subsidized loans – the financial relief may be short-lived: Governor John Kasich's state budget proposal has public universities in Ohio could increasing tuition by up to 3.5 percent. Current undergraduate and graduate students, do you need more financial aid now than you did when you first enrolled? High schoolers and incoming freshman, how do you plan to pay for school?

With the popularity of wireless computing devices among college students, it would seem that e-textbooks would be just as attractive for this tech-savvy generation. Not so, according to a new survey: The printed textbook is still the big man on campus.
Student Monitor's survey of 1,200 full-time students at four-year institutions revealed that although 54 percent of respondents owned smartphones, 87 percent owned laptops and nearly 50 percent reported interest in purchasing a wireless reading device, only 5 percent of respondents purchased access to an e-textbook this spring – and usually only because professors required them to. The proportion of students who rented at least one printed textbook, however, doubled to 24 percent from last spring. With campus bookstores and independent sites like Chegg.com making book rental easier and more available, the trend is only expected to grow: Thirty-six percent of underclassmen said they are either likely or very likely to rent at least one textbook next semester.
The main reason students are renting textbooks instead of buying the electronic versions? The savings, which were reported as about $127. With that kind of money back in the bank, students could splurge on their other "likes" the survey revealed...or maybe get a head start paying off some of those student loans. Which side are you on in the textbook debate – Team E-book or Team Rental – and why?

We've seen it in movies and read about it in books: Someone unearths a time capsule buried long ago and learns something vital from its contents. Does it happen in real life? Sure but for this Scholarship of the Week – the Big Dig Scholarship – you'll only need a metaphorical shovel and a way with words.
The Big Dig Scholarship asks students to find an item currently available for purchase for under $500 that will have immense value in the future. Applicants must then write a 500- to 1,000-word essay detailing their decision to be in the running to win a $3,000 scholarship for college. Interested? Here are the questions each essay must answer:
Essays will be graded primarily on originality and depth of content but grammar, punctuation and spelling will also be taken into consideration. Applications are due June 1st and the winner will be selected and notified by July 15th.

how many slams would fed have won if he faced 03-06 opponents his whole career?
I think the weak era thing is overblown and guys like roddick, Hewitt and old Agassi didn't actually "suck". they were good Players and fed beat them because he was a beast.
However let's asume that fed played his whole career against Young roddick,hewitt, coria, old Agassi and other guys of that era. fed is certainly not as good as he was in his prime but he is still a great Player. he regularly spanks top10 Players.
would 31 yo fed still win 2-3 slams a year against those guys? or would he also struggle?
what number of slams would he have won?
If those guys stayed in their primes as Federer aged? I'd say maybe around 20. He wouldn't be able to dominate like he used to because those are some good players. Nadal and Djokovic are better, of course, but not overwhelmingly so.
If the field remained as 03-06 he would probably win every non clay slam until the end of 2012 atleast, so that would make atleast 27 slams total right now. Thank goodness the field progressed from what it was at that point.
how many clay slams would he have won against the early to mid 00 guys?
Fed at 31 can beat any of those guys from 03-06, except perhaps an in-form Safin (almost never happens). He's still great at dealing with big servers so I don't think a young Roddick will do much better. The big reason that people never mention that Murray and Djokovic and Nadal are so good is that they played against Federer when they still had several years to improve, so when Fed set the bar so high they were able to hit that bar. Players who are Fed's age, by the time they played a prime Fed they had already maxed out their abilities and there was no room left to improve in any big sort of way.
I don't think he would have continued to win 3 slams a year. I believe 31yo fed is still better than prime roddick and prime Hewitt, however you have to factor in Motivation. fed is tremendously motivated by facing nadal and nole. he works his butt off to prove he is still the top dog.
if he continued to win 3 a year from 07-12 he would have won 27 slams. while he does have the Talent to do this against those guys I cannot see him stay motivated like this against that field.
I think he would have ended up with 21-22 slams at best.
03-06 would have gotten older with him...so he obviously would have won more. If they stayed the same....while he aged....they would win.
he would win all the slams.
fed will have no trouble with young hewitt and agassi, they're a few level below nadal, plus they have no insane spin
young rod will also be no prob, he can handles big server just fine!
never saw coria play, but cant be better than nadal
safin, well, his legendary in-form (as per TT **** logic) actually a once in a lifetime event which happen in AO 2005. not gonna happen again. ever. much like rosol beating nadal again, aint gonna happen. so safin is no trouble for fed.
where is the option for 0?
Sorry but at the end of the day , you can't have it both ways. Either you judge people on their accomplishments - which means we judge Fed as a 17 slam winner but have to judge Roddick as a 1 slam winner, or you open this can of worms that is circular logic - was fed that good or were Hewitt/Roddick etc mediocre.
Would he still get mono in this scenario?
2003-2004 was a tough field if we're being fair to Federer, it was in 2005 that things got ridiculous.
Safin (knee)
Haas (shoulder etc)
Coria (mental breakdown)
Gaudio (mental breakdown, 42-8 on clay in 2005)
Roddick (Switch to Pusher forehand)
Ferrero (Chicken pox, fractured rib)
Kuerten (Hip)
Nalbandian (Fat and unmotivated after his nephew died)
Hewitt (Kids and injuries)
Agassi (finally finished by sciatica after the USO)
Essentially every single top player but Federer and the emerging Nadal was struck down. It's unprecedented. That's when players like Ferrer started getting into the top 5.
It's worth nothing that Murray and Djoker started beating Federer right away, Murray in 2006 and Djoker in 2007 Montreal.
No. If Nadal and Djokovic had the misfortune of having their primes coincide with Federer's, they'd have fewer Slams and Hewitt, Roddick, Safin would have more Slams if they had had a post-prime Federer in their path instead of a prime beast.
Most of Nadal's slams are French Opens and we all know prime Federer is not going to deny Nadal a single French Open. As for the rest, given what a bad matchup Nadal is for Federer, and that he only reaches the finals of non clay slams when playing great for him it is easy to imagine him winning 2, 3, or even all 4 of his non clay slams even facing prime Federer. So the effect on Nadal would be minimal at best, in fact with the weaker overall field and not having to face prime Djokovic (a way worse matchup for him than any version of Federer) he might even do better.
Hewitt, Roddick, and Safin in their primes today would be facing Nadal, Djokovic, an older Federer who is still a better player than they were even in their primes, in addition to Murray who is atleast a comparable level player to all of them, and if anything could all easily go slamless. Well probably still 2 slams still for Safin only who is near unbeatable in god mode. Hewitt and Roddick would be lucky to win a single slam today though. Neither Hewitt or Roddick won a slam in the era of prime Federer (2004-2007) either anyway, and 18 year old Nadal who coudnt get past 3rd rounds of hard court slams immediately blew past them in the rankings (forever) only halfway through the year while still in their primes in mid 2005.

Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

Three months had passed since the last time the Master Chief had tread these grounds, but he was nonetheless surprised by how quickly the local flora and fauna had retaken the crash site. Thick patches of grass peeked through the near-solid carpet of ash, and lush green vines resembling ivy were already threading their way through the Forward Unto Dawn's spindly remains. Shadows of birds flitted across the exposed panels of steel flooring, their alien songs echoing through decomposing hallways.
Perks of Forerunner technology, he assumed.
The violet sky was a stark contrast to the hopeless, smoke-stained one that he'd seen when he'd first explored the crash site, but still not wholly natural; faded by the artificial sun's brightness was Requiem's inner shell, miles above them, patterned with the planet's veins and arteries, glowing like spent embers. As another reminder to the alien nature of the landscape, hovering monoliths — which had once been obscured by smoke, when he last stood in this location — erupted over the horizon, the distance not impressive enough to hide the fact that they were moving and reshaping themselves, catching the light of the sun in brilliant, pleasant flashes.
The entire area seemed like a brutal metaphor to the Chief, who chose to ignore it and simply turned around to face the Pelican.
As soon as Covenant presence on Requiem had been confirmed in a "first-hand experience", several scout teams had been deployed to areas presumed to hold "potentially revealing UNSC data" and were given orders to destroy said data. The Master Chief had been selected for the one-man team that would spearhead the operation; not coincidentally, he was the one that would be exploring the coordinates for the Dawn's main crash site. It would be a low priority mission. No enemy contacts had been recorded in the area for months, and it was far from where the actual conflict was happening. As consequence, the Chief was sent in alone, while the same Pelican would carry troops dozens of miles east. In a couple hours another Pelican would pick him up, and he would be carted off to another location across Requiem.
The Pelican's thrusters' glow increased in intensity as the pilot prepared to take off. With an exasperated huff from the servos, the hatch began to slowly draw shut. A blast of hot air struck him as the Pelican finally lifted, sending ripples in the grass around the landing zone, and the dropship awkwardly lunged into the air. Within moments, it was drifting over a skyscraper-sized chunk of metal that wrapped around the valley's ridge.
Relative silence took the place of the Pelican's engines. Slinging his rifle over his shoulder, John knelt down and scooped up his helmet in time to catch a burst of radio static from the pilot.
"-Call in when you've hit all the locations that Roland uploaded to your HUD. We're not reading any enemy contacts, but keep your eyes open. We'll ring if we see trouble. Ellsworth out."
Static marked the pilot's real exit, and with it he was truly isolated.
The Master Chief turned again to survey the crash site. He chinned a control, and nearly immediately, navigation points appeared on his helmet's display. Stepping off the grassy knoll, he began a steady march toward the first arrow.
The data pad was half submerged in ash, but the screen was still flickering faintly, etched with static and thin lines of error messages. He grabbed the edge of the screen and tugged it out of the ash. The trauma of removal seemed to finally kill the device, however, and the screen deadened, the last remnants of light fizzling away. The Chief frowned slightly before casting it down into the ash again.
Apparently technology could survive for four years in the vacuum of space, but not for the five minutes it would have taken to retrieve the data.
The next arrow led him to an armored case of sorts, resting behind a couple of boulders on the far side of the crash site. The case had handled the fall to Requiem's inner core considerably worse than he had; the hard shell was partially cracked open and filled with solid ash.
So, that made two things that weren't going to be of any use.
The last arrow pointed several kilometers away, beyond the crash site and the valley. For a few seconds, the Chief didn't move to follow the nav point.
The arrow would lead him through the small tunnel and through a brief cave system. The cave would have natural forming crystals in them, and if the sun were just right, they would catch the beams filtering through the gaps in the ceiling and toss refracted light all over the walls. Then the tunnel would angle upward, and he would be standing on a cliffside. The Forerunner structures — hovering miles above the ground, shifting and reshaping themselves almost absent-mindedly — would be just miles in front of him. And then, to the left, would be the last remains of the Forward Unto Dawn.
The Chief checked his mission clock. He had another two hours before the Pelican would arrive.
There were a few Warthog parts scattered about; wheels laying like discarded toys, and rusting, peeling chassis sitting half-sunk in pools of rainwater. Massive steel frames hung on the mountainside, already alive with the same plant life he had seen in the valley.
The Master Chief stood at the cave exit, surveying the landscape and looking for familiar objects. Most of the items he saw the last time he was here were now absorbed into Requiem's environment — the ammunition crate, the spare gas cans, the carcass of a Mongoose vehicle. He could hardly recognize the detached segment of the Dawn itself, what with the way it was collapsing in on itself and growing long grass on its top. The only thing that differentiated it from the rest of the mountainside was that a woman's voice was clearly emanating from it.
He grip on his rifle tightened. It would figure that the final nav point would lead him to the last recorded trace of Cortana's distress signal.
The Chief entered the Dawn's remains and paused. Sunlight dappled the steel grid floor, and pervasive roots were prying their way through the left wall. There was a panicked flurry of wings as a flock of birds escaped his presence. And then —
"Mayday mayday mayday, this is UNSC AI Cortana—"
It had been months since he'd last heard her. Even then, it hadn't even been her; he'd been reviewing mission logs with an ONI interviewer, during one of many debriefings that would follow his return to Earth. It was a recording of one of her many rampant moments. Just tears, yelling, and not the real Cortana at all.
So he stood still, alone in the ship's husk. Listening.
"—UNSC frigate Forward Unto Dawn, hailing on all frequencies—"
John slung his rifle over his shoulder and walked toward where the arrow on his HUD indicated. He found the data module behind a stack of tires, presumably where it had been shaken loose by the Dawn's descent into Requiem, and picked it up.
"—This is UNSC AI Cortana—"
John tightened his grip, and sparks sputtered out of the module. Cortana's voice undulated and clipped, then abruptly cut out entirely.
Carrying the crushed module with him, John left the Dawn and walked to the edge of mountain, overseeing the Forerunner structure below. John knelt down and carefully set the module on the grass.
He stared at it for a second before rising again.
Then, the sun ducked behind one of the monoliths, and he was plunged into shade. With the sound of alien birdsong in the Dawn behind him, John looked up and watched the clouds form around the floating structures.

While the film wasn't yet vying for the Golden Popcorn in the Best Kiss or Movie of the Year categories, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" still had a big night at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.
The Internet has been buzzing as Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller were on hand at the pre-show for their debut appearance as a cast, premiering the movie's highly anticipated trailer.
The clip previewed several key scenes fans are itching to see in the adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's coming-of-age tale, which follows Charlie (Lerman) as he navigates adolescence with the help of his new friends Sam (Watson) and Patrick (Miller), the most notable being the "epic" tunnel scene .
The beginning of the trailer showed Sam standing on the bed of her truck with her arms outstretched as the vehicle whipped through the tunnel. The final moment of the trailer similarly showed Charlie on the truck while his voice-over said the book's famous quote: "And in this moment, I swear we are infinite."
"It was awesome. It was really cool," Lerman told MTV News backstage as he recalled the scene. "It was just a magical moment, one of those organic, magical movie moments. … We just had a good time. It was a blast."
Watson was up for Best Kiss with co-star Rupert Grint for their smooch in "Deathly Hallows, Part 2″ but lost to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in "Breaking Dawn – Part 1." But just because the actress didn't win this time around doesn't mean she'll miss out on the award next year. In "Perks," Charlie develops a crush on Sam as their friendship grows, leading up to an inevitable lip-lock. While the trailer didn't show the special moment, it did reveal some intimate scenes between the characters, and later, Lerman recalled his kiss with the "Harry Potter" actress saying, "It's kind of odd when you're doing it for a movie. It's kind of weird. She's cool. It wasn't as awkward as it could have been. It's Emma Watson, so I'm a lucky guy."
Another exciting clip gave fans a glimpse at the adaptation of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Miller's character, Patrick, is a flamboyant thespian who helms the part of the British rock musical's emcee Frank N. Furter. When we spoke to the actor on the red carpet, he told us the role almost made him ditch film in favor of taking the "Rocky Horror" stage full time. "I was very grateful to even be able to [act in the musical], and I had this moment where I was like, 'I might do "Rocky Horror Picture Show" forever. That might be it,' " he said.
Fortunately, for those who want to continue to catch Miller on the big screen, he talked himself out of it. He might want to consider a career in action films next. Towards the end of the trailer, there's an intense scene where Patrick and Brad (Johnny Simmons), the high school quarterback, fight in the school cafeteria. Simmons described the brawl as both "physical and emotional," revealing that neither actor held back during filming. "We both kind of agreed that we were gonna go for it and really fight it out," he said. "I jacked up my knee, which was a battle scar. It was fun and worth it. I think it turned out good from what I've heard."
Miller agreed, telling us that he and Simmons wanted the fight to look realistic, because it's vital to the development of both of their characters. "It was hard. We all got bruises. That's how you make a fight," he explained. "I've made fights before in movies and it happens the same way. You plan something with the stunt choreographer, it's all well and good and then you get to it and it's like whatever happens, it's [still] a fight. To make a fight happen, you can do it quarter speed, but you're still tumbling to the ground."
Jaw-dropping, heart-pounding, gut-busting moments galore. See what went down at the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards!

Anyone else like their racquet setups boardy?

^^^ I honestly don't know who you're talking about with regards to those statements. Tornado and B5E are in my top 5 best ever (along with Scorpion, Iontec and PH18 ) polys, and I don't like boardy string. Tornado is also tension specific. High tension yields a piece of cedar, low 50s to high 40s yields the most responsive poly I've used. B5E is far less so, and far more neutral. It does everything well, however. Silverstring, on the other hand, feels nothing like either albeit closer to B5E. It has an incredibly unique feeling, and is one of those like ALU and certain multis that has this innate "premium" feeling. I can't describe it. That sense of "this isn't on the market to make money, this was designed to be as good as it can be". Not many, no...MOST polys don't come close to that. Iontec is another with that feeling. This is all personal and subjective bantering however. As most of you know, however, Silverstring and B5E were my go-to poly of choice for quite some time.

BOISE Going - going - and soon will be gone. Get ready to say goodbye to the incandescent light bulbs we grew up using.
Tuesday is the last day companies can produce the power hungry bulbs.
Forty and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs will soon join the 75 and 100 watt bulbs that are already out of production. In the near future the only options will be energy efficient light bulbs with a higher upfront cost.
The iconic light bulb, the very image we all associate with a good idea, is going away and to some, that's a bad idea.
I also don't like the fact that I'm being forced to buy a better bulb, said Gary Whitney from Boise
However for Whitney and others, the reason they're stocking up on the incandescent bulbs goes deeper than that.
I have some applications where I need an old light bulb to generate heat to, like, keep dogs warm in a shed, that kind of a thing. The new ones don't do it, said Whitney.
Jack Burdick bought close to a five year supply because he doesn't like the new energy efficient lights.
We bought the other bulbs; we just didn't like them as much. I think it's harder to read with them, said Burdick.
But experts at The Home Depot and Lowe's say there are options.
People are worried about the incandescent going away; Halogens are almost a direct replacement for them. They're just a more efficient version, said Larry Morisette.
Compact florescent and LEDs are the wave of the future, touting long life, some up to 25 years, with up to 80 percent annual savings on your electricity bill. But they're new and can be more complicated to buy than we're used to.
We compared this to the transition from analog television to digital, that's going to be a little bit like this here. We have a lot of help in the aisles to help them out and get that transition taken care of, said Joe Erickson, a supervisor at The Home Depot.
While the cost of the new technology might seem high to some, it is coming down.
And it isn't like we don't like to save energy like everybody else, clean energy, we do our best, but this is just one of the things we want to stay with, the incandescent light bulb.
If you're looking for your car keys, getting ready to make a mad dash to go buy the incandescent bulbs, you can sit back and relax.
Production stops January 1, but there will still be plenty of product on the shelves that will be sold until they run out and that will likely be months.
To add some perspective, the 75 and 100 watt bulbs lasted up to eight months after production stopped.
Not all incandescent lights are going away, the lower watt bulbs used for night lights and small reading lights will stick around.
All of these changes are a part of the 2007 bipartisan Energy Independence and Security Act.

Since the AA6800 ships from the manufacturer already overclocked fairly aggressively, I wasn't expecting to get much more out of the card. For reiteration purposes, the core is clocked at 358MHz, 33MHz over the standard 325MHz while the memory is already running at 770MHz, 70 MHz higher than the standard 6800 speed.
The overclocking results in both departments were fairly paltry, a measly 10MHz on the memory and 8 MHz on the core. Nothing that's really worth displaying over the already increased performance of the AA6800. However when compared with the increase in clock speed over a standard 6800, the total overclock is fairly noteworthy.
Chaintech has a very nice solution on their hand. The Chaintech GeForce AA6800 Apogee is an above-average GeForce 6800-based card. Its performance is improved over the rest of the pack due to its aggressive clock and memory speeds provided by the manufacturer.
The software applications bundled are the standard fare, however the bundled Comandos 3 game should be replaced with a more mainstream game that will push the AA6800. The extra hardware bundled is greatly appreciated as both an S-Video and Composite TV-out cable are provided, as well as a Molex-Y which may be useful to some. By far the coolest little addition is the Q-Ball monitor cleaner.
The AA6800 sports the larger of the two types of coolers available for the GeForce 6800 and its heatsink fins are copper, which aid in the cooling process and help the card's stability at its higher clock speeds. You should definitely not overlook the Chaintech GeForce AA6800 Apogee should be in the market for a new 6800-based video card.

An A-ok /ˌeɪ.oʊˈkeɪ/ is both a saying, derived from okay, and a hand-gesture done by connecting the thumb and index finger into a circle (the O), and holding the other fingers straight or relaxed in the air.
Unicode symbol U+1F44C (👌) represents this gesture.
US Air Force Lt. Col. John "Shorty" Powers popularized the expression "A-ok" while NASA's public affairs officer for Project Mercury, attributing it to astronaut Alan Shepard during his Freedom 7 flight.[1][2] In his book The Right Stuff, however, author Tom Wolfe wrote that Powers had borrowed it from NASA engineers who used it during radio transmission tests because the sharper sound of A cut through the static better than O.[3] Apparently, the first documented use "A-ok" is contained within a memo from Tecwyn Roberts, Flight Dynamics Officer, to Flight Director (entitled "Report on Test 3805", dated Feb 2, 1961) in penciled notes on the countdown of MR-2, dated Jan 31, 1961.[4]
Multiple meanings[edit]
Positive connotation[edit]
In the military slang among the conscripts of the Finnish Defence Forces, this gesture is used to denote the number 0, referring to the days left until their honorable discharge.[citation needed] It is also used as a taunt to other conscripts that still have a number of days left.
In basketball, players sometimes use this gesture to show they just made a three pointer.
A similar gesture, the Vitarka mudra ("mudra of discussion") is the gesture of discussion and communication (for the number 0) of Buddhist teaching.[5]
Neutral connotation[edit]
In underwater diving, it widely means both Are you okay?, and its response Yes, I'm OK, or just I'm OK. It can be confusing for beginners, because using the thumbs up gesture rather than the A-ok gesture signals that the person making that gesture wants to ascend (to the surface).
In Japan, when used with the back of the hand facing down and the circle facing forward, it means money, and in France means zero.[6] In Australia and Portugal, it can either mean okay or zero.
Negative connotation[edit]
While the gesture is positive in some countries, in certain parts of middle and southern Europe (although not in Spain or Portugal) the gesture is considered offensive,[7] as in you are a zero or you are nothing. In some Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, as well as in Brazil, it represents vulgar expressions: either an insult (you are an asshole), or the slang for anus itself.[8] By the same symbolism, it stands for faggot (a vulgar word for homosexual) in several South American countries.
The "A-ok" gesture is also associated with the circle game, in which players attempt to trick other players into looking at the "A-ok" below their waist.[9]
In most continental European countries, when the sign is placed over the nose, with the nose protruding through the O made by the thumb and forefinger, it means drunk. The origins of this sign may stem from the hand gesture holding a bottle's head while drinking. As a bottle with alcoholic liquid is implied this refers to drinking or the state of being drunk.[citation needed]
In the Arab world, this sign is used as a threatening gesture, as in saying: "You'll see!".[10]
In Occultists view it is the number 666 due to the circle and the three fingers behind it.[11] The sign is associated with the Illuminati or Freemasonry by some conspiracy theorists, especially when shown in the media and used by mainstream entertainers.[12][13]
