I wash everything in one day (usually Sunday) then watch tv or a movie while I fold everything that evening. If I am watching tv I will put away during commercials.

'Avengers' Grosses $18.7 Million in Midnight Shows
Superhero action film "The Avengers" grossed $18.7 million from midnight Thursday screenings in North America, according to early studio estimates, putting it on track to post big numbers at the box office during its domestic opening weekend.
The Marvel Studios film, distributed by Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.12 % 's movie studio, opened April 25 in international markets, where it took in $22.9 million on Thursday. That brought its cumulative international earnings as of Friday to $304 million, according to the studio.
Part of the strategy for opening the film in international markets before the domestic release stemmed from a desire to take advantage of the fact that a number countries around the world celebrate the holiday of May Day, on May 1. This year's calendar meant the holiday would create a long weekend for many foreign moviegoers, according to Dave Hollis, Disney's executive vice president for theatrical sales.
The press and box-office results surrounding those openings has helped fuel domestic appetite for the movie. "To say that we have been pleased with the results to date would be a great understatement," Mr. Hollis said.
More Marvel, Less Fun
"The Avengers" is a hugely hyped, immensely expensive and fitfully enjoyable convocation of comic book superheroes, writes Joe Morgenstern. Read his full review.
The film's U.S. midnight-screening grosses, while substantial, didn't manage to break box-office records. The top midnight opening stands with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which earned $43.5 million in midnight screenings when it opened last summer, followed by "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1," which took in $30.3 million during its midnight screenings when it opened in November.
"The Hunger Games" took in $19.7 million from midnight screenings when it opened in March.
"The Avengers" has, however, already broken several of Marvel's own records, with its cumulative international grosses already having surpassed the total cumulative earnings for "Captain America" ($192 million), "Iron Man" ($267 million) and "Thor" ($268 million).
During its run last weekend in foreign markets, "The Avengers" posted the largest opening weekend for a Marvel title on IMAX IMAX 0.44 % screens, grossing $5.6 million on 94 screens, with a per-screen average of $59,256.
Midnight IMAX screenings in North America on Thursday grossed $1.31 million on 273 screens.
The film was directed by Joss Whedon and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner. It is the first Marvel Studios film to be released by Disney since its $4 billion acquisition of Marvel Entertainment in 2009.

As you read this booklet, consider what you can do to boost the quality of science education in your community. You might be able to raise this matter with your local parent-teacher association, talk to your child's science teacher, or become involved in establishing school policy at the district level. Your commitment—and help—are key. Your input can help make the difference between a mediocre science program and a world-class science education.
In a rapidly changing, increasingly technological world, all students need to understand science and technology. Teachers and administrators increasingly need parents and other members of the community to become partners in making sure our children know what they need to know.

Per Yahoo:
His trade value has to be at an all time low. The A's now may not be able to trade him by the deadline.The Oakland Athletics placed right-hander Rich Harden on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, retroactive to April 3, and recalled right-hander Joey Devine from Triple-A Sacramento.
Harden, 1-0 with an 0.82 ERA in two starts, was bumped from his scheduled start Tuesday with a strained muscle below his right shoulder blade. Oakland hoped Harden would be healthy in time to face Cleveland on Saturday, but he was still sore after throwing from flat ground before Wednesdays game.
That forced the Athletics to put him on the disabled list for the sixth time in the past four years.
Hes just not going to be ready, manager Bob Geren said.
Harden first felt sore while throwing a side session after Oakland returned from a season-opening series in Japan. He was able to pitch five scoreless innings against Boston on April 2, but the pain persisted. An MRI on Sunday revealed the injury.
The 26-year-old Harden was limited to seven games for Oakland last season because of shoulder injuries.
Geren said the Athletics will shut Harden down for an undetermined number of days before letting him try to throw again.

@chendo: any chance this change is affecting the way portfolio pages are loaded? Since a few days ago (I don't know when, exactly) I've noticed significantly slower loading of my own portfolio pages (all marketplaces), in both Chrome and Firefox, but ONLY when I'm logged in. When I'm logged out, it works instantly. (I tried clearing cache and cookies but nothing changed)
This change does not affect portfolio pages, only the upload process. When you're logged in and you view your own portfolio pages, we do more intensive queries for your commission figures etc, hence the page loads slower.

3 comments by terra0nova on Jul 27th, 2012
Hey Everyone! I've been quiet for a while, making smaller flash game projects and experimenting with ideas after Aero Empire fell apart, but I have recently started three things that I would like to share with everyone.
Fancy Fish Games - Following the recent success of some of my small flash game projects, I have decided to start a small, indie game studio called Fancy Fish Games. In the studio, I plan to catch some fancy ideas and make some interesting game projects. We already have a few projects planned, and two in the works, and I look forward to presenting them to the community soon.
VIDE - VIDE stands for the Vectorized Image Deformation Engine, and is a new tool I'm working on for future game projects at Fancy Fish Games. Like the name suggests, it's an animation program that can take an image and deform/animate it. The early results look nice, and it is written entirely in HAXE/NME.
The Legend of GameDev - My new indie game dev blog, which you can read here: Davidmaletz.blogspot.com. I have already written two posts detailing how VIDE works, and plan to talk more about my future game projects and Fancy Fish Games.
I also have plans and a new design document for a revival of Aero Empire, but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up while I still haven't solidified it or started working on it. Feel free to follow my blog for updates on that, as well as the current technology and games of Fancy Fish Games!
The Menu / AE Test allows you to download and run Aero Empire's current engine, with options to enable and disable effects, and tweak the environment...
The Model Viewer tool allows entire scenes to be viewed using Aero Empire's rendering engine.
I hope there will be some action, too :)
Action is definitely planned - this is a game after all :P . There are many weapons which are equipable on different kinds of blimps (like turrets, cannons, torpedoes and gyros [gyros are like planes and helicopters]) - and these weapons can be controlled by an NPC or player.
Once the game logic engine is well under way, I will have gameplay shots and videos with plenty of action, and perhaps even a prototype download.
Thanks guys!
The game is still a while from completion - but the rendering engine is done which turned out quite well. I'll keep you guys posted for when we have some gameplay shots and more progress.
nice concept, keep up the good work!
Looks great, curious

Impax Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPXL) today reported second quarter 2012 financial results.
- Adjusted net income increased $28.4 million to $41.0 million in the second quarter 2012, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $12.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior year period, primarily attributable to the benefit of the revenue and gross profit earned from United States (U.S.) Zomig® sales pursuant to the previously disclosed License Agreement with AstraZeneca UK Limited (AstraZeneca License Agreement) and higher generic Adderall XR® sales. Adjusted results exclude certain items related to recent third-party business development transactions.
- GAAP net income increased 49% to $18.7 million in the second quarter 2012, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $12.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior year period, primarily due to U.S. Zomig® tablet sales by the Company's brand division and higher generic Adderall XR® sales.
- Total revenues increased 32% to $166.5 million in the second quarter 2012, compared to $125.9 million in the prior year period, primarily due to U.S. Zomig® tablet sales and higher generic Adderall XR® sales. Second quarter 2012 revenues exclude U.S. Zomig® orally disintegrating and nasal spray formulation sales by AstraZeneca, although the Company received the benefit of the gross profit ($16.2 million) from these sales during the specified transition period pursuant to the AstraZeneca License Agreement.
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), increased to $72.6 million in the second quarter 2012, compared to $24.9 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to the items noted above.
Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items.
"The positive second quarter results reflect our Zomig® tablets sales in the U.S. utilizing our expanded neurology focused brand sales force, as well as increased receipt of shipments of generic Adderall XR® from our third-party supplier which led to higher sales in the quarter," said Larry Hsu, Ph.D., president and CEO, Impax Laboratories, Inc. "We are excited that our brand sales force began promoting and sampling Zomig® tablets in the U.S. on April 1. This product will support the growth of our commercial organization as we prepare for the potential launch of Rytary TM, our first internally developed brand product for Parkinson's Disease."
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently completed a preapproval inspection for Rytary TM and an undisclosed generic product at our Taiwan facility and there were no Form 483 observations. We continue to work at resolving the recent observation made by the FDA in Hayward and have been notified that a satisfactory re-inspection will be necessary to close out the warning letter," Dr. Hsu continued."Our generic business pipeline has 46 pending ANDAs with more than 40 internally developed or partnered products, including many alternative dosage form products. We remain focused on pursuing strategic opportunities that are aimed at advancing our generic and brand businesses beyond our internal efforts. So far in 2012, our business development activities include the in-licensing of Zomig® on the brand side, and the acquisition of alternative dosage form generic products and a co-development, supply and distribution agreement with TOLMAR, Inc. on the generics side. With more than $354 million in cash and short-term investments and no debt, our business development activities will continue to focus on delivering growth from high-value products, technologies, and businesses in complementary dosage forms," Dr. Hsu concluded.

Latest Chlorophyll Stories
Photosynthesis is a remarkable biological process that supports life on earth. Plants and photosynthetic microbes do so by harvesting light to produce their food, and in the process, also provide vital oxygen for animals and people.
An international team of scientists has determined the structure of the chlorophyll molecules in green bacteria that are responsible for harvesting light energy.
A U.S.-led international team of scientists says it has determined the structure of chlorophyll molecules in green bacteria that harvest light energy. The researchers said their findings might one day be used to build artificial photosynthetic systems, such as those that convert solar energy to electrical energy. We found that the orientation of the chlorophyll molecules make green bacteria extremely efficient at harvesting light, said Pennsylvania State University Professor Donald Bryant,...
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have figured out the orientation of a protein in the antenna complex to its neighboring membrane in a photosynthetic bacterium, a key find in the process of energy transfer in photosynthesis.
In pursuing cleaner energy there is such a thing as being too green.
In a study of the molecular mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from oxidation damage should they absorb too much sunlight during photosynthesis, a team of researchers has discovered a molecular "dimmer switch†that helps control the flow of solar energy moving through the system of light harvesting proteins. This discovery holds important implications for the future design of artificial photosynthesis systems that could provide the world with a sustainable and secure...
Imagine a technology that would not only provide a green and renewable source of electrical energy, but could also help scrub the atmosphere of excessive carbon dioxide resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. That's the promise of artificial versions of photosynthesis, the process by which green plants have been converting solar energy into electrochemical energy for millions of years. To get there, however, scientists need a far better understanding of how nature does it, starting...
Sargassum seaweed, famous in nautical lore for entangling ships in its dense floating vegetation, has been detected from space for the first time thanks to an instrument aboard ESA's environmental satellite, Envisat. The ability to monitor Sargassum globally will allow researchers to understand better the primary productivity of the ocean and better predict climate change.
Scientists at Oregon State University have successfully cultured in a laboratory a microorganism with a gene for an alternate form of photochemistry – an advance that may ultimately help shed light on the ecology of the world's oceans.
Autumn's joyous pageant of red, yellow and gold relies on a single protein, new research reveals.

It is remarkable that no one responsible for enforcing fair housing laws in New York State seems to be at all concerned that Kiryas Joel and New Square have managed to keep out everyone who is not their type of Orthodox Jew. Decades ago, restrictive covenants intended to prevent Jews and members of other minority groups from moving into many suburban communities, but fair housing laws were passed and the restrictive covenants were declared by the Supreme Court to be unenforceable. Now the religious groups that control Kiryas Joel and New Square are doing the same thing with impunity. While it might be quite legal in Israel to restrict neighborhoods and settlements to specific segments of the population, it is not legal in the State of New York.

Reading boss Steve Coppell blew his top after their 7-4 defeat by Portsmouth.
Coppell snapped when "second season syndrome" reared its head.
"I'm fed up with the f****** thing," fumed Coppell. "Shove it up wherever.
"I've had 17 million questions about second season syndrome.
"It's just f****** hard whether it's the first season, second season or third season."
Reading leaked four at home to Liverpool in the Carling Cup last week and Coppell admits his success at the club does not make him immune from the threat of the sack.
He said: "Your life is determined by results. If you win it's a lovely world. If you lose it's your fault.
"If we lose, I'll be judged poorly, disparagingly and if I don't do something about it, things will happen.
"If you don't get results you're not a manager for long."

Board Games Used for Crafts?

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Did you know you can use old boardgames to make crafts? This is such a great idea, I'm so glad I can share this with you. When I was little I used to play Candy Land all the time along with Checkers and Uno. I loved playing board games because who doesn't? If you're a child or a grown up board games are always fun. And if you're an adult, it's always fun to be a kid again.
If you have a lot of old board games laying around the house and you don't know what to do with them you can make crafts. Depending on what games you have you can make cards, scrapbook pages or a neat gift.
I wrote a blog about what the possibilities are in making crafts from board games. You can read more about it here.
Another cute game on our site is the kids' tic tac toe.

|Bama's aura of invincibility gone after near-miss
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 11 November 2012 11:15
The fourth-ranked Crimson Tide has not only lost that aura of invincibility that seemed to surround Nick Saban's team through eight games and the final two minutes against LSU, but lost control of its fate in the national title derby. No. 9 Texas A&M made sure of that with Johnny Manziel's dazzling performance and a goal line stand in Saturday's 29-24 upset.
Bama fell three spots from its nearly season-long perch atop the rankings and now must hope for some sort of shakeup among No. 1 Oregon, No. 2 Kansas State and No. 3 Notre Dame.
The word of the night from Saban was ``recommit.'' But the Tide had issues that seldom crept up against lesser competition, including third-down stops and catching Manziel.

I'm using Prism4 and in one of my modules I'm trying to register a view with a region and also handle its button clicked event (which is published when user clicks on a button on the view).
public class MyModule : IModule

public MyModule(IUnityContainer container, IRegionManager regionManager, IEventAggregator eventAggregator)
this.container = container;
this.regionManager = regionManager;
this.eventAggregator = eventAggregator;
public void Initialize()
this.regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("MainRegion", typeof(ViewA));
// this 2nd overload would work fine
//this.regionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("MainRegion", () => this.container.Resolve<ViewA>());
public void ViewAButtonClicked()
// some handling code
// does *NOT* execute if using the 1st RegisterViewWithRegion overload
// executes if using the 2nd RegisterViewWithRegion overload
The above code works fine up except that it does not execute the ViewAButtonClicked method.
If I switched to use the other overload (commented out in code above) then everything works as expected, the ButtonClicked method runs.
The descriptions from msdn are very similar and I'm not sure why it's giving me the different behavior described above. Why does one work and one doesn't when it comes to handling the button click event?

Japan's plan to hunt whales in the Antarctic for the purpose of
"scientific study" was temporarily suspended on Friday, December
21, 2007. Although they still plan on hunting whales in other areas,
Japan's Antarctic mission was especially controversial because they
had planned on killing not only 935 minke whales and 50 fin whales,
but also up to 50 humpbacks. A global moratorium on hunting humpbacks
was put in place in the mid-1960s, when it was discovered that humpbacks
were on the verge of extinction. Some experts contend that Japan could
conduct their scientific research without killing any whale species.
To many, whales are amazing underwater mammals that display incredible
social behaviors as they travel thousands of miles during seasonal migrations.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias: Wanting More, 1932 Olympic Games
Babe Didrikson Zaharias was one of the most accomplished female athletes of the 20th century and the star of the 1932 Olympic Games. Born Mildred Didriksen in Port Arthur, Texas, she excelled at every sport she played, from basketball and baseball to swimming and skating.
In July 1932, at age 18, Didrikson arrived at the Amateur Athletic Union championships in Evanston, Illinois, as the sole member of the Employers Casualty Company of Dallas (Texas) team. There she participated in 8 of the 10 sporting events, winning 5—all in one afternoon. She not only won the shot put, long jump, and baseball throw but also broke world records in the 80-metre hurdles and the javelin and tied Jean Shiley with a world record in the high jump. Perhaps most remarkable, she also won the team trophy.
A few weeks later Didrikson was on her way to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles with her mind set on winning as many medals as possible. On the train to California she delighted journalists and annoyed teammates with countless tales of her athletic achievements. Although she would have probably chosen to compete in five or more events, Olympic rules forced her to choose only three.
Didrikson began by winning the javelin event with a world record throw of 143 feet 4 inches (43.68 metres). She then set another world record while winning the 80-metre hurdles in 11.7 seconds. The high jump, her last event, found her in a tie with teammate Shiley. Both women had cleared 5 feet 51/4 inches (1.657 metres), a world record, and had failed at 5 feet 6 inches. Judges called for a jump off at 5 feet 53/4 inches. When both women cleared the height, the judges scrambled for a way to fairly declare a winner. Their solution hardly seemed fair. While both women were credited with the world record, Shiley was awarded the gold medal and Didrikson the silver on the basis that Didrikson's western-roll style of jumping (diving over the bar) was illegal.
After the Games Didrikson took up golf and became the dominant women's golfer of her era. In 1938 she married wrestler George Zaharias, and in 1950 the Associated Press named her the greatest female athlete of the half-century.
Jesse Owens: The Superior Sprinter, 1936 Olympic Games
The performance of Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin is well known and rightfully acclaimed. He not only dominated the sprint competition, garnering three gold medals (he won a fourth in the long jump) and earning the title of "fastest man in the world," but he also was credited with punching a hole in Nazi theories of racial superiority. Yet Owens's experience in Berlin was quite different from the stories reported in many papers.
One popular tale that arose from Owens's victories was that of the "snub." On the first day of competition, Adolf Hitler publicly congratulated a few German and Finnish winners. He left the stadium, however, after the German competitors were eliminated from the day's final event. The International Olympic Committee president, Henri de Baillet-Latour, angry at Hitler's actions, told him to congratulate all or none of the victors. Hitler chose to no longer publicly congratulate anyone (though he did have private meetings with German medalists). On the second day of competition, Owens won the gold medal in the 100 metres but did not receive a handshake from Hitler. American papers, unaware of Hitler's deal with the IOC, printed the story that Hitler had "snubbed" Owens, who was African American. Over the following years the myth of Hitler's snub grew and grew.
Despite the politically charged atmosphere of the Games, Owens was adored by the German public, who screamed his name and hounded him for photos and autographs. The friendship that many Germans felt for him was most evident during the long jump. Accustomed to U.S. competitions that allowed practice jumps, he took a preliminary jump and was astonished when the officials counted it as his first attempt. Unsettled, he foot-faulted the second attempt. Before his last jump, German competitor Carl Ludwig ("Luz") Long approached Owens. Popular accounts suggest that Long told Owens to place a towel several inches in front of the takeoff board. With Owens's jumping ability, Long felt this maneuver would allow him to safely qualify for the finals. Owens used the towel, qualified, and eventually sailed 26 feet 81/4 inches (8.134 metres) to beat Long for the gold. The two men became close friends.
Owens's last gold medal came in the 400-metre relay, an event he had never expected to run. The U.S. coaches replaced Jewish team members Sam Stoller and Marty Glickman with Owens and Ralph Metcalfe, spurring rumors of anti-Semitism. Despite the controversy, the team set the Olympic record with a time of 39.8 seconds.

Residents complain of insufficient supply, poor maintenance
TAMBARAM: Inadequate water supply, poor maintenance of infrastructure and misuse of precious drinking water are posing problems for the residents of Town Panchayats in the southern suburbs of Chennai.
Residents of Town Panchayats have urged the State government to ensure that the urban local bodies pay more attention to proper maintenance of public taps and water lines.
As per the norms of the State government, residents of Town Panchayats are entitled to receive 70 litres per person per day. But Chitlapakkam Town Panchayat, with a population of 25,292 (2001 Census figures), received only around 9 lakh litres of water every day.
Based on the population figures, the local body ought to receive at least 18 lakh litres, pointed out members of the Chitlapakkam Residents Association Coordination Committee, in a recent letter to the Chief Minister's Cell.
Moreover, the actual population was close to 50,000 based on the electoral rolls, the Committee's members said, adding that the urban local body required nothing less than 35 lakh litres a day. Incidentally, Chitlapakkam is the only Town Panchayat in the southern suburb of Chennai that gets Palar Water under the Tambaram – Pallavaram Combined Water Supply Scheme.
Many other Town Panchayats in Tambaram area too face the problem of inadequate supply as they depend on infiltration wells sunk adjacent to lakes and water bodies to supply drinking water to residents. With water bodies being threatened due to encroachments and pollution, both quantity and quality were affected, said a councillor of Peerkankaranai Town Panchayat, that draws water from two wells around the Peerkankaranai Lake.
With apartment complexes mushrooming in the suburbs, the local bodies were simply not equipped with resources to meet the growing demands, civic groups said. Residents too misused water supplied by Town Panchayats for gardening, cleaning utensils and vehicles and even in construction activities.
Scenes of residents taking water from public taps through hose pipes and storing them in underground and overhead sumps are common in Pallikaranai and Sembakkam Town Panchayats.
Further, staff in these urban local bodies were just not competent or skilled enough to ensure proper maintenance of water pipelines and taps, something that senior engineers of the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board admit.
TWAD Board engineers said they located sources, created storing facilities and installed supply systems and their role ended with that.
However, illegal connections, poor use of material and equipment and improper maintenance disturbed the entire facility, resulting in wastage through leakages, the engineers added.

Stray animals have long been an issue in San Antonio, but Rick Spears' animal is not like ordinary missing pets.
Six days ago, Rick Spears said his hybrid Alaskan-Malamute/Siberian Wolf pet walked out of his apartment near Loop 410 and San Pedro.
I was out of town helping some friends out, helping them move, and I had a roommate that was moving out at the same time (who) irresponsibly left the door open and let her out, Spears said. She instantly goes on a search for me, and I'm nowhere around, and she's gone... and he's telling me, 'I'm sorry. She broke out, I couldn't catch her.'
The animal is named Dakota. She is three years old and weighs 120 pounds.
I'm afraid that all that will start to deteriorate and she'll get anxiety and depression and losing fur and not eating, Spears said. It's a shame for such a beautiful animal to be out in the street, out in traffic.
Spears said his plan is to move to Montana and continue training her for search and rescue work teams.
She's very friendly. She loves to give hugs.
Will Babin, who lives down the street about a block away, quipped that he s not worried that a wolf may be roaming the streets in his neighborhood.
Just be cool and be careful, and if you need a recipe, I can find you one, joked Babin.
Currently, Spears is offering a reward of $2,000 for anyone who brings his wolf back.

More Dead Birds Found In Louisiana
Louisiana state biologists are trying to figure out what killed about 500 birds that littered a quarter-mile stretch of highway in Pointe Coupee Parish.
The birds included red-winged blackbirds and starlings.
They were found on Monday along Louisiana Highway 1, about 300 miles south of Beebe, Arkansas, where over 3,000 blackbirds fell from the sky three days earlier.
Authorities said that examinations showed those birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots.
Louisiana state biologists are sending some of the birds found at Labarre to laboratories in Georgia and Wisconsin for testing.
The birds dropping from the sky in Arkansas, followed by the death of thousands of fish nearby in the Arkansas River, have raised interest on the Internet and other places.
Experts said on Monday that celebratory fireworks were likely responsible for the Arkansas bird-bombing, even though they admit that it is unlikely they will ever determine the cause.
"They collided or were hit by something that caused hemorrhages or bleeding, internal bleeding or bruising," Karen Rowe, an ornithologist at the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, told CBS News.
Some speculated on Monday that a bout of bad weather was to blame. Others have said that one confused bird could have led the group in a fatal plunge.
"There was probably some physical reason, but I doubt anyone will ever know what it was," said Thurman Booth, the state's wildlife services director.
The birds were the second mass wildlife death in Arkansas in recent days. Last week, about 83,000 dead and dying drum fish washed up along a 20-mile stretch off the Arkansas River, about 100 miles west of Beebe.
Wildlife officials said that the fish deaths are not related to the dead birds, and because only one species of fish was affected, it is likely they were stricken by an illness. Full test results could take up to a month.
Red-winged blackbirds do not fly at night because they cannot see where they are going.
CBS reported that residents reported hearing loud fireworks just before the birds started hitting the ground.

Brown Bluff
Brown Bluff is a tuya located at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. It formed in the past 1 million years, which erupted subglacially within an englacial lake. The volcano's original diameter is thought to have been about 12-15 kilometers, and probably formed by a single vent. Brown Bluff is subdivided into four stages: pillow volcano, tuff cone, slope failure, and hyaloclastite delta and into five structural units.[1]
The volcano is named "Brown Bluff" because of its steep slopes and its brown-to-black hyaloclastite.
Brown Bluff has a 1.5 km long cobble and ash beach rising increasingly steeply towards towering red-brown tuff cliffs which are embedded with volcanic bombs. The cliffs are heavily eroded, resulting in loose scree and rock falls on higher slopes, and large, wind eroded boulders on the beach. Permanent ice and tidewater glaciers surround the site to the north and south, occasionally filling the beach with brash ice.
Flora and fauna[edit]
Lichens in the genera Xanthoria and Caloplaca have been recorded on exposed boulders from the shoreline to an elevation of 185 m. Mosses occur at higher elevations near glacial drainage.
The site has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a breeding colony of about 20,000 pairs of adelle , as well as about 550 pairs of gentoos. Other birds nesting there include Cape petrels, Wilson's storm petrels and kelp gulls.[2] Weddell seals regularly haul out and leopard seals often hunt offshore.

Education Tax Policy Institute Cites Flaws in Tax Foundation Report.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Education Tax Policy Institute (ETPI) says that the recently released Tax Foundation Report, citing Ohio residents as having the 7th highest state and local tax burden in the country, is based on a highly subjective methodology, and is not a true representation of Ohio's business-friendly tax environment.
"The fundamental flaw of the Tax Foundation's report is that it is based on a series of non-standard and poorly documented adjustments to each state's taxes rather than measuring the actual level of taxes," said William Driscoll, a consultant for the Education Tax Policy Institute. "The result is a subjective and inaccurate measurement of which state has higher taxes and which ones are truly more business-friendly."
An analysis of the Tax Foundation report issued by the ETPI ( http://www.etpi-ohio.org/Library/082708TaxNonsense.pdf ) cited four main areas where the methodology is fundamentally flawed:
1. The actual construction of the tax climate index is based wholly on subjective judgments made by the Tax Foundation relating to the taxation policies of other states and the estimated consumption patterns of its residents. The Tax Foundation attempts to justify its approach by appealing to economic theory, but the methodologies used in this report constitute significant departures from accepted models. 2. While the Tax Foundation does describe its methodology and lists references, it never actually shows the computations by which it derives its results. Replication of the Foundation's study thus becomes impossible, and no way exists to assess the Foundation's assumptions, critique the details of the computations, or evaluate their accuracy. 3. Based on the Tax Foundation's methodology, Ohio's "tax burden" results from tax policy decisions made in other states. 4. The methodology is inconsistent in the extent to which it takes into account future tax changes, which have already been enacted in the Buckeye state.
The ETPI analysis suggests that objective methodologies, such as those used by the Federation of Tax Administrators ( http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/07taxbur.html ), are a more accurate picture of a state's true tax climate. The latest reports available using this methodology show Ohio as much closer to the middle for state and local tax burden. For example, Ohio is ranked 24th in terms of state per capita and 18th for percentage of personal income.
Because of timing issues, it is unclear to what extent the Tax Foundation Report accounts for Ohio's five year plan to restructure business taxes. The ETPI analysis shows that in the upside-down world of the Tax Foundation, major net reductions in Ohio business taxes benefit non-residents more than Ohioans.
Ohio business analysts echo the criticism of the Foundation's analysis as flawed and impractical.
"It is completely illogical that the Tax Foundation methodology would punish the state of Ohio for enacting sweeping tax reform designed to increase the global competitiveness of Ohio companies through the elimination of the corporate franchise tax, elimination of the tangible personal property tax, along with a reduction of the personal income tax rate by 21 percent," said Ed Burghard, executive director of the Ohio Business Development Coalition, the nonprofit organization that markets the state for capital investment.
Ohio's tax reform package benefits businesses by: -- Reducing operating costs - No tax on inventory or corporate income -- Enhancing productivity - No tax on investments in machinery and equipment -- Attracting talent - Shrink labor costs through a 21 percent reduction in personal income tax -- Creating a level playing field - All companies taxed the same low rate -- Boosting return on investment - No tax on products sold to customers outside Ohio -- Rewarding entrepreneurship - First $1 million in gross receipts are tax-free
Independent, third-party economic models project that by 2010, Ohio's tax reform will grow the state's economy by increasing gross state product by $5.6 billion and personal income by $3.6 billion. It also is expected to lead to an additional $6.3 billion of new capital investment in Ohio's economy.
With its revamped tax code, Ohio's state taxes are on track to be the lowest in the Midwest for companies making new capital investments. Projections show that by 2010, Ohioans will see a real world impact of up to a 63 percent reduction in tax burdens. Just three years after implementation, the new tax code is already growing the state's diverse economy, improving the standard of living and enhancing Ohio's standing in an increasingly competitive market.

Fresh off her endorsement by the American Federation of Teachers (doesn't everyone want to be with a winner?), Clinton this morning is giving a speech calling for additional stem-cell research, and attacking the Bush administration's political manipulation of scientific data. "For six and half years under this president, it's been open season on open inquiry," she plans to say, per her campaign. "And by ignoring or manipulating science, the Bush administration is putting our future at risk and letting our economic competitors get an edge in the global economy."
A new AP-Ipsos poll shows Clinton ahead of Obama 35-18 -- nowhere near the 33 point advantage shown in the ABC/Post poll. The Obama camp offers up some triumphant sarcasm. "A shockwave was sent through Washington late today as the AP released a poll showing that Obama halved Clinton's lead in national polling in just one day," the Obama camp says in a deadly serious press release (we swear this is as real as the Thompson memo above is fake) obtained exclusively by The Note.
" 'We were confident that once the American people saw that Obama did in fact out-raise Senator Clinton by more than $12 million dollars over the course of this year, that we would indeed come roaring back in the incredibly meaningful national polls,' said Obama strategist David Axelrod. 'As we continue to fine-tune our attempts to get on the front page of Roll Call and out of the Des Moines Register, we are pleased to see that our efforts have already begun coming to fruition.' Besides leading in primary dollars raised, Axelrod later mentioned as an aside that Obama also was leading in Iowa, has the largest grassroots operation in the history of presidential politics and, by the way, national polls are still meaningless."
And just how important is Iowa? Here are Obama's words, per ABC's Sunlen Miller: "I keep trying to explain to [people] the only poll I am concerned about right now is Iowa, because Iowans make that first decision. . . . If we end up winning Iowa we will win the rest of the sates and I'll be the nominee, and I think the next Democratic nominee is going to be the next president."
But the latest wave of good news for Clinton has been very good. It's a "restoration," if not a "coronation," Dana Milbank writes in The Washington Post. Some Clinton snippets: "Back in the 1990s." "Start working with the world again." "We're all in this together again." "Get back to working together." Milbank writes, "These phrases -- each of them uttered yesterday by Clinton -- might seem rather backward-looking for a candidate billing herself as an agent of 'change.' But it must be working for her."
As if Democrats weren't quite getting enough good news . . . forget the majority -- how about 60 votes? Another GOP Senate graybeard calls it quits today, with Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., set to announce his retirement this afternoon in Albuquerque, citing health issues. "I am not willing to take a chance that the people who have so honored me with their trust for 40 years might not be served as well as they deserve," Domenici plans to say, per the AP's Andrew Taylor.

State needs to be 'right to work'
They also watch history. Boeing does not want to go through what the U.S. auto industry has been through and then need a government bailout or worse. Everett/Seattle and the state of Washington do not want to become Detroit and Michigan.
In my opinion, three things need to happen at this stage to help insure that Everett to lands the 777. One, the machinists need to realize we are in an international labor market and return to the ballot box and pass the labor proposal Boeing and the International Union had them vote on. Two, the Legislature needs to finish and pass the transportation legislation. And three, Washington needs to do what Michigan did in 2011 to become more competitive -- have the Legislature vote to have Washington become a right-to-work state.
Boeing wants a reliable work force and favorable tax situation among other things. You hear about how large Washington's tax breaks are for Boeing. However, perhaps Washington's taxes were significantly higher than any other state, and so needed to have a larger break just to be equal with other states.
What we do not know is if Boeing has already decided to just start leaving Washington. If that is the case, we have given them plenty of excuses.

A US district judge in San Francisco has reportedly granted Blackberry a preliminary injunction, imposing a temporary sales ban against the 99 dollars Typo that grafts a physical keyboard onto an iPhone.
Blackberry has filed a lawsuit against Typo, founded by chief executive Laurence Hallier and TV personality Ryan Seacrest, saying that the iPhone cases' beveled-key keyboard is a blatant infringement against BlackBerry's iconic keyboard.
According to Cnet, US District Judge William Orrick said BlackBerry had established a "likelihood" of infringement and that Typo hadn't sufficiently challenged the relevant patents.
A spokeswoman for BlackBerry said that the company is pleased that its motion for a preliminary injunction against Typo Products LLC was granted.
The spokesperson added that the ruling will help prevent further injury to BlackBerry from Typo's blatant theft of its patented keyboard technology.

Good coaches and players always agree....hard to forget losings. It is what drives them. The competition and striving to win. What did he expect for him to say? "Whew, I am so very glad we lost?" Notice the comments Miller made about playing MSU this year. You can tell by the expression on his face....he wants to kick their @ss! As we all do!
now that is very funny!!!!
You mean use the TE Moore? :)
January 10, 2010. On purpose! I got a keeper! Great month. Beating Oregon then all went well for the wedding. Ice storm was supposed to him but didn't.
The good is I have had relatives who were "in" weddings and I got good tickets as a result. Latest....Wisconsin at night in C-bus 2013! Silver linings 0*-)
Welll he made his bed...now he will have to lie in it..lol!
Enjoy your Pizza Bowls!
He's gone?? Where?
I like how tOSU OL has been playing as well. They seem to wear down their foes as the games go along. Hope to see the TE get involved in passing game as well.
Thanks Ross enjoyed the article.
I was expecting "How does Badger defense match up with Buckeye offense?" But I guess that would be a one word article...POORLY! LOL
Thanks for reply!
Ross would you match up Roby or Howard on Abbrederis? How would you defend the jet sweep?
I thought Howard could do the job. I thought moving Barnett and Roby up closer to the line for jet sweeps and hopefully get a couple of picks. I would put Williams on Pedersen. fyi Phillips is 11-19 106 yards 1 td and 1 int for his career. (edit)So is getting to him the key?
Wisconsin's defense seems to get tired as the games go along. Well the tougher games Utah St, MSU and Nebraska. Badger defense is very average imo. Good LBers and Smith CB is ok. But DL and S are very suspect.
I see the game going like this 10-10 end of 1st Q, 24-10 at half ,31-17 at end of 3Q and finish 41-20.
Am I way off? Thoughts?
Glad 2 have him back! Even if he plays 1/2 of the snaps his experience should help tOSU get after those Badgers!
Great read Ross.
I think Simon is MVP for the leadership and show of toughness he brought the team. Hankins, Williams, Shazier and Roby could make a case as well.
Boren is amazing. Hard to believe he has just a few games under his belt. He is a football player. Kudos to him.
Hard to tell how good Buckeyes were. IL proving how bad they are every week. Offensively they are just terrible. Offensive to watch.
That is an ugly shirt! She should take it off! :))
Thanks Ross. Great stuff once again. I wished Miller would have started off the PSU game better. If he completes few of those early in the game, this would have been a whipping!
Yet Miller is still young. The game can only get "slower" and easier for him!
Thanks Ross. Do you think tOSU will load the box and force PSU to go long? Would you expect more man than zone?
I hope to see Roby on Robinson. Shazier on whichever RB. Send Simon and Williams after McLovin. I hope they knock the moxie out of him!
I hope tOSU offense puts up points and eats up minutes to help the defense.
PSU's longest drive was 6:27 ..that was for 97 yard drive. IA played a terrible game defensively. IA's offense did the defense no favors. IA had one drive over 3 and a half minutes. PSU ran 100 plays..IA 59 (26 of them lost yardage). ouch
Pic of KG is awesome. So was how he pulled out the win. (2 thumbs way up!!)
Venric Mark & Mark Weisman, who are these guys? Defensively I'd have Hankins a head of everyone. Hankins has been a consistant force.
For as great as the football team's showing was, TBDBIL was even better for the Nebraska game. I loved the M flag going down!! Congrats Mr. Waters.
Indiana had their shot to shock the world w/ MSU. tOSU OL and DL are so much better than any team they have seen. Their QB's lack mobility as well. Just like UAB, tOSU could play 2.5 quarters and still win by couple td's. I bet KG and the 2nd stringers make a good showing..expanding the final score. jmho 45-13 to 52-16 kinda win.
As for Klien's situation must be Karma. Then again..so is Leach's as well.
My expectaions for Matta's crew are tempered. Then agian my hopes are high. Go BUCKS!!
Meyer is wanting to develop depth. This team is beat up. I think tOSU in a beat down. Miami of Ohio game, tOSU was still finding out what they were. tOSU is now a running team. We will run to a big lead.
KG has earned some playing time. MSU and Nebraska games, he comes in cold and puts the ball in the endzone.
44 points means 3 FG or a missed extra point or saftey. Interesting number for sure. I don't think IU can stop tOSU in the red zone.
tOSU OL is playing at high level. I say tOSU just runs them over. Replogle meet Mewhort!
That being said Matte meet Hankins and Goebel.
The only thing that keeps tOSU under 50 is KG plays in second half..mostly run game. Then again KG could add another 28 points on the board. 60???
Northwestern put up over 700 yards. Nearly 400 on ther ground.
I see the Silver Bullets running an aggressive cover 4 out of the nickel.
IU had their chance to shock the world last week. MSU woke up and the rest well was...normal for Indiana.
45-13 to 52-16 range..
I would not be shocked if 60 were to be scored.
I hope they become The Baracudas. Nice story thanks.
I feel dumber for reading Dodd..
NCAA is crazy. You cannot predict what crazy will do. That is why they are crazy. If tOSU felt Smith didn't do all he was supposed to do, he would be gone. If the BoT can get rid of JT, Smith would be soooo easy. Water under the bridge..future looks bright!
Hope the Paranahs can graduate to Baracudas (the baddest fish in the sea!).
People love to hate Steelers (not a fan), Yankees, Red Wings, and Manchester United...I am glad we are hate that way too.
Saved the best for last. TBDBITL

From March 26 the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle is presenting "A Vulnerable Narrator" the first solo show by Koki Tanaka in Europe. The Japanese artist references the history of "art activism" and views his work as a gentle yet sustainable approach to this movement. The exhibition, consisting of video installations, large scale photographs and drawings, is a laboratory of sorts, one that ties together a decade's worth of projects, ideas, and documents.
Deutsche Bank KunstHalle
This year, the Städel Museum is celebrating its 200th anniversary.
A highlight is the large overview exhibition "The 80s. Figurative Painting in West Germany," featuring works by Karl Horst Hoedicke, Helmut Middendorf, and Andreas Schulze, among others, including a number of loans from the Deutsche Bank Collection. Learn more about our longtime partnership with the Frankfurt museum, which includes 600 works from the Deutsche Bank Collection at the Städel museum here.
The Americas
The United Kingdom
Can art activism change our living-together? And what has Koki Tanaka to do with that? Which influence has the "insomnia of the rulers" on Okwui Enwezor and this year's Biennale? Why is just now the time for an exhibition about figurative painting in the 80s?
These questions are discussed in the seventh issue of our ArtMag. Besides more to Christian Jankowski and his conceptual art, the Japanese avant-garde, Heide Specker's photographs, Victoria Siddall and new exhibitions on ArtMag online.

25 September 2013 17:01 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Petral, the trading arm of Pertamina the state owned Indonesian oil company, purchased two November-delivery North West Shelf Condensate (NWSC) cargoes in the spot market over the past week, a company source confirmed.
The two NWSC cargoes bought by Petral were understood to have been purchased from Woodside and Mitsui at around Dated Brent minus $0.50/bbl free on board (FOB) Dampier Western Australia, industry sources said.
Petral has been eager to secure condensate cargoes in order to provide feedstock for the Trans Pacific Petrochemical Indotama (TPPI) petrochemical complex at Tuban in Indonesia in which Pertamina is a stakeholder, sources added.
The TPPI plant is expected to restart in the near future after being shutdown since the end of 2011. Facilities at Tuban include a 100,000 bbl/day condensate splitter a reformer and an aromatics unit which can produce can produce 550,000 tonnes/year of paraxylene (PX) and 360,000 tonnes/year of benzene.
