What does it prove??
RALPH22 With all due respects but I saw the fight card and have seen both young Chavez and Paez on many occasions and let's be honest, they honestly are and will always be C-level fighters at most as far as talent goes, that's reality. Fortunately for them that they are easy to OVER hype and sell profitably due to their NAMES. IF it wasn't for their DAD'S ring popularity this article would've never happened and they'd probably doing something else besides fighting by now. Not hating, just keepin' it real. Now, I'm sure Suliaman will "Magically" work it so young Omar gets a shot at a vacant title against some "out of nowhere cream puff" mandatory OR... strip a title OR... create a new one. I do wish the youngster luck, he's making a living off his dad's name and has all the right to do so, after all. it's HIS dad. Many of us might've done the same if we could.

Note that this really is a standard USB type cable. However it is male to male type ends not the normal male type A to male type B. That said I have used other cables that are USB male to male type "a" and they also work fine. In fact if you want up to 50 foot versions for these they too are available. I ordered a 50 foot too long cable doing a Google Search. The cable stated that it was guaranteed to work with Apex controller and it does. But I only needed 15 foot. The BRS cable is priced just right and works fine. Saving the other 50 foot longer cable to run to tank 2.

Social justice is the cornerstone of constitutional democracy. The men who drafted Indian Constitution were men of great vision and foresight. There is plethora of conflicting historical narratives on the status of Varna system in the ancient Indian societies.
Without lamenting on the character of interpretations on nature and classification of pre modern societies, I feel written accounts vehemently suggests that the last Varna i.e. the Shudras were phenomenally deprived of some fundamental existential requirements like formal education, sanitation and other modes of recreation and self development. A long history of struggle coupled with vision and vigor of Dr. Ambedkar made way for empowerment of the socially and economically deprived section of the society through modes of affirmative action enshrined in the Indian Constitution. This brought reservation to the centre stage of the political discourse in our nation.
Being a beneficiary of affirmative action and an ardent follower of contemporary Indian politics, I have closely followed the stages of politicization of this mode of social empowerment. The governments for petty political motives has never shied away from using reservations as an electoral tool to reclaim political legitimacy in elections and otherwise. The political fixation on the issue of reservations has been worthwhile. The apex court on various occasions has guided the parliament on fixing the contours of affirmative action. The two principal national parties have exhibited a paradigm shift in perspective over this politically sensitive issue at the time of general elections.
The Indian national congress has gone against the recommendations of National commission on backward classes in ordering the inclusion of Jats in the central list of other backward classes. The age old party with its tactical understanding of the constitution has launched a brutal assault on the ideals of the preambles through this step of political maneuvering. The findings of NCBC displayed much better socio-economic indicators of the community and hence suggested the non-inclusion.
The present inclusion comes in the backdrop of instances of communal disharmony in the western part of the Uttar-Pradesh where jats enjoy a considerable political clout in terms of electoral demography. Whether or not this step would have any potential political outcome is a matter of examination for political commentators, it nevertheless reflects the parochial nature and intent of the congress party. On the other hand a structural transition was observed the stance of the saffron party on the issue of reservation to the different segment of the society.
Quoting from the news in the Economic Times on February 26th, Sanjay Paswan, the National President of the party's scheduled caste morcha advocated for creamy layer clause in the reservations for scheduled castes. In doing this he was extending the debate initiated by Janardan Dwivedi, the Congress think tank on extending benefits of reservation on the economic basis. The party high command thwarted the idea of Mr. Dwivedi the very next day via a press note by the Sonia Gandhi.
The BJP seems to have an alternative model in place as was prominent in the news article. Paswan suggested the idea of state welfarism of the backward on the financial basis. The freshness in perspective is clear with the idea of discontinuing reservation for the beneficiary belonging to the third generation.
I would summarize by endorsing the proposition of the new idea of income ceiling and discontinuation of the reservations for the beneficiaries from the third generation belonging to the same family. My case is strong as I am myself a third generation beneficiary of the policy of reservation and if any of my progenies still require the state benefits than I admit that the deficiency lies in me and not in anything else.

MeeGo Chosen to Become Platform for In-Car Infortainment
Expect to see MeeGo in a car near you.
GENIVI, the nonprofit industry alliance that was founded by BMW, Delphi, Intel, GM, PSA, Wind River and Magneti-Marelli, announced that MeeGo would become the operating platform for the next generation of In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) devices. IVI applications include entertainment services, GPS navigation and broadband internet functionality. The first iteration of the MeeGo-based platform will be called GENIVI Apollo.
"We selected MeeGo as the open source basis for our platform because it is technically innovative and can provide the cross architecture build support we require for our references," said Graham Smethurst, President of GENIVI.
No word on when MeeGo-base systems will be available in vehicles or how widely adopted the platform will be. GM. for example, is a founding member of GENIVI and recently announced a partnership with Google to leverage Google Map technology in its OnStar suite of services. The MeeGo Project encourages automakers to download the initial release and contribute to the platform.
MeegoThis another breakthrough in technology and I'm definitely excited for this. It would make travelling and driving less taxing for the people with the built in technology in the vehicle. Locating places would also be easier for those who are not so good at it with their gps tracking system.
As vehicle owners continue to embrace entertainment and high technology in their vehicle, Meego is just the thing that they are looking for. I could just imagine how great it would be to have your own internet connection in your own car, truck or van.
Business trips, family vacations or just a simple road trip is made more exciting with this newly developed technology. I just hope it doesn't cost that much and would be very much accessible to all consumers. In addition, it would be an additional point of interest if it would be made user-friendly. This is also to encourage those people who are not very much acquainted with technology to try and use it.

Abundant Corals Discovered at Shell's Chukchi Drill Site
Greenpeace researchers have discovered abundant corals where Shell hopes to begin Arctic offshore drilling this summer. The discovery raises questions why the Arctic corals are not adequately addressed in the environmental impact statement for Shell's drilling program.
Chukchi Sea, AK (PRWEB) July 30, 2012
Greenpeace submarine research at Shell´s proposed drill site in the Chukchi Sea has collected the first coral specimen from the region. With a Shell vessel nearby, Greenpeace marine biologist and submarine pilot John Hocevar collected two specimens of Gersemia rubiformis coral, also known as sea raspberry, and recorded video to document the presence of large numbers of corals during transects of the sea floor.
The corals were the third most common type of visible marine life on the bottom, after brittle stars and basket stars. While quantitative analysis of video transects will take time to complete, Hocevar estimates coral density is on the order of .5 per square meter. This is considerably higher than most areas of the ocean; coral density at study sites in the Weddell Sea, Atlantic Canada, and Norway was less than .2 per square meter.
"Discovering abundant corals in the Arctic waters right where Shell plans to drill this summer shows just how little is known about this fragile and unique region. Melting sea ice is not an invitation for offshore drilling in the Arctic, it´s a warning that this pristine environment should be protected and dedicated to science," said John Hocevar, marine biologist and Oceans Campaign Director for Greenpeace USA.
Although Shell told the Washington Post that the company knew about corals at the Chukchi drill site, the environmental impact statement for its drilling program does not mention them. Deep sea corals provide critical habitat for fish and other marine life, and have been prioritized for protection by the United Nations and the US government. Corals are very long-lived, slow growing creatures that are highly vulnerable to disturbance.
"Why doesn't the environmental impact statement for Shell's Chukchi drilling program adequately discuss Arctic corals at the proposed drilling location? What else has the public not been told about the environment of the proposed drill sites?" said Rick Steiner, retired University of Alaska professor of conservation biology.
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza is in the Arctic with a Waitt Institute submarine to study the marine habitats threatened by Shell´s planned drilling program. The expedition is part of the environmental organization's "Save the Arctic" campaign, in which over 1 million people have joined together to call for a global sanctuary in the high Arctic, and a ban on offshore drilling and unsustainable fishing in Arctic waters.

Zodiac - a collectible card game
So me and a friend are designing a collectible card game called Zodiac. We're currently designing the first starter decks, and they will go into printing in about 2 weeks. at first, we are going to be giving them out for free. The plan is mostly to do this locally, but I'd be willing to ship some out to you guys if you're interested. If you're into this kind of thing, let me know and I will get you 2 starter decks so you can learn to play and show others in your area. It'd help us out a whole lot. Do note that if too many people ask for deck,s I'm going to have to ask that you pay shipping.
curious what the cards look like? Here's a sample.
Right now, we are using generic art, however once the decks and cards are available for actual sale we will have custom artwork.
Here are the rules of the game:
1) Both players need at least 40 cards in their deck.
2) All cards in the deck must come from the same Constellation Set.
3) Each player has 50 hit points at the beginning of the game.
4) Each player controls 3 battlefields (left, center, right).
5) Each battlefield can hold a maximum of minor creatures (left and right - 5, center - 6),2 major creatures, and 1 hero creature.
6) Each battlefield has a local spell slot. Spells activated from these spots only effect that battlefield, and the opponent controlled battlefield directly across from it.
7) Each deck cannot contain more than 1 hero creature card.
8) Creatures can only block those creatures your opponent controls in the battlefield directly across from it.
9) Any damage that is not blocked or dodged by an opponent's creatures is dealt to the opponent.
10) At any point during the game, if your opponents life is reduced to 0 or less, you win.
11) Spells are played in stacks. The first card played is at the bottom of the stack, and the next spell played is placed on top of it. After all spells are played, the effects of the card on top of the stack goes into effect first.
12) You cannot play more than one counter spell in any stack.
13) At the beginning of the game, each player shuffles their deck, and draws 7 cards. Each player rolls their D20 (Twenty Sided Dice). The player with the highest roll has the first turn.
14) Global effect slots are not considered to be in any of the battlefields.
15) Each player will designate a spot on the battlefield for their graveyards slot. This is also not considered to be in any of the battlefields.
16) Creature Leveling - Creatures gain an xp counter for successful attacks on the opponent, or for killing an opponent's creature in battle.
The number of xp counters on a creature determines the Creatures level and it's base stats.
Steps to a turn in Zodiac:
1) Upkeep - Any effects that include "At the beginning of the next turn" happen here.
2) Untap - Any creatures or spells that were tapped during your previous round are now untapped.
3) Draw - You draw a single card from your deck, and place it into your hand.
4) 1st Play Phase:
A - You may place 1 creature into play in any battlefield you choose.
B - You may place as many spells into play as you like, face down.
C - Spells labeled as Local may only be played in Local Spell Slots.
D - Spells labeled as Global may only be played in Global Spell Slots.
E - Spells labeled as both Global and Local (Combo Spells), may be played in either a local or global slot. The effect of the spell is determined by which slot you choose to play the card in.
F - Spells cannot be activated on the same turn they were introduced. At the beginning of the next player's upkeep, you may activate the spell at any point of the game you choose.
After you have played all of the cards you choose, you may choose to attack. You can choose to attack with any number of battlefields as you like. Each creature that you choose to attack with is now considered "tapped". "tapped" creatures cannot block or activate their effects. You may choose to "untap" during your next Untap phase. You do not have to attack unless you want to. Creatures cannot attack the same turn they were brought into play.
5) Attacking:
A - Starting a Battle - In each battlefield that you choose to attack with you, you declare which creatures you control will be attacking. Your opponent then gets the opportunity to decide which of his creatures in the defending battlefield will block the attacking creatures. Your opponent may choose to block a single attacking creature with up to 2 creatures if he chooses. Each paring is considered called a battle.
B - 'Dodging' After blockers have been assigned, each player will roll their D20 for a "Dodge Check" for each of their attacking creature. The result of the roll, added to the creatures Dex stat, will determine that creatures "Dex total". The defending player does the same for each blocking creature.
C - If the attacking creature has a "Dex Total" higher than any creature blocking it, the attacking player may assign the damage (STR stat) to the each blocking creature that has a lower Dex total than the attacking creature, and if the damage assigned to that creature is greater than the blocking creatures Def stat, the block creature dies and is removed from the battlefield into the graveyard.
D - If the blocking creature has a str stat higher than the attacking creature, the attacking creature also dies, and is sent to the owner's graveyard. But if the blocking creature has a higher dex total than the attacking creature, then the blocking creature has successfully dodged the attack, and no attack damage may be assigned to the blocking creature this turn. The attacking creature also takes no damage from a blocking creature that has successfully dodged. In effect, the damage that would normally be traded between to two is considered voided.
E - All damage assigned from both attacking and blocking creatures during a battle consider simultaneous.
Repeat this process until each battle is completed. Any damaged dealt by attacking creatures that is not blocked by a creature is deducted from the defending players hit points.
Second Spell Phase - This phase has the same rules as the first spell phase, but players cannot bring a creature into playing during the second spell phase.
Move Phase - A player may choose to move 1 creature he controls from one battlefield to any adjacent battlefields he controls. A creature cannot move directly from the left battlefield to the right battlefield, and vice versa.
Resolution Phase - Any effects that say "At the end of your turn" are triggered now. Players may activate spells during this phase.
End Turn - It is now your opponents turn
All you need to play is your deck, a 20 sided die and optionally, a battlefield map to learn card positions.

Bumping this. Apparently posting it at 3 a.m. wasn't best move.

Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves
Bernd Georg Wilhelm Klug (12 December 1914 – 15 June 1975) was a Korvettenkapitän with the Kriegsmarine during World War II and later a Flottillenadmiral with the Bundesmarine. He is also a recipient of the coveted Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves (German: Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub). The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.
Korvettenkapitän Klug led E-boats (Schnellboote) on 28 April 1944 in an attack against Convoy T-4 consisting of LSTs during the Allied large-scale rehearsals for the D-Day invasion of Normandy, dubbed Exercise Tiger. During the attack, German E-boats sank USS LST-507 and 531, and damaged 289, resulting in the deaths of 749 American servicemen.
Klug joined the Reichsmarine on 1 April 1933 as a member of "Crew 1933" (the incoming class of 1933) where he received his basic military infantry training with the II. Schiff-Stamm-Abteilung der Ostsee (2nd department of the standing ship division) of the Baltic Sea in Stralsund.[Note 1] He was transferred to the school ship SSS Gorch Fock on 30 June 1933 for his on board training.[1] Here he was promoted to Seekadett (Midshipman) on 23 September 1933.[2] He was then transferred to the light cruiser Karlsruhe on 24 September 1933.[1]
Klug sailed on Karlsruhe 's third training cruise. Karlsruhe left Wilhelmshaven on 14 October 1933. The ship first sailed to the Mediterranean Sea and then to East Asia where they stopped at Kalkutta, Padang and Soerabaja. The journey went on to Brisbane and Apia, via Honolulu and Tacoma to San Diego in the United States, then through the Panama Canal to Boston and A Pobra do Caramiñal, Spain. Karlsruhe returned to Kiel on 16 June 1934.[3] While stationed on Karlsruhe, he advanced in rank to Gefreiter on 1 April 1934.[2]
He was then posted to the Naval Academy at Mürwik on 28 June 1934. Following a brief vacation, he started the main cadet course at the Naval Academy in Mürwik on 12 July 1934.[1][Tr 1] During his vacation he was promoted to Fähnrich zur See (officer cadet) on 1 July 1931.[2] The main cadet course lasted until 18 April 1935 and was interrupted by two navigational training cruises, the first on the tender Nordsee (10–16 October 1934) and the tender Saar (31 January – 6 February 1935).[1]
Battle of Lyme Bay[edit]
On 28 April 1944 Klug led six E-boats of the 5th Schnellbootflottille across the English Channel. The German's had received signals of Allied naval operations in the Lyme Bay. Klug led the attack in groups of two, S-100 and S-143, S-140 and S-142, and S-136 and S-138. His force was augmented by additional three boats from the 5th Schnellbootflottille, S-130, S-145 and S-150, commanded by Kapitänleutnant Götz Freiherr von Mirbach.[4]

|Deutsche Schnellbootgruppen unter Führung von Korvettenkapitän Klug und Kapitänleutnant von Mirbach versenkten in den Morgenstunden des 28. April an der englischen Südküste aus einem von Zerstörern und zahlreichen Kleinkampfschiffen gesicherten Geleitzug drei Schiffe mit zusammen 9100 BRT und torpedierten ein weiteres von 200 BRT, mit dessen Sinken zu rechnen ist. Im Verlauf der harten Gefechte wurde ferner ein Zerstörer torpediert, dessen Untergang infolge der einsetzenden Abwehr nicht beobachtet werden konnte, jedoch mit Sicherheit anzunehmen ist. Die eigenen Verbände kehrten ohne Beschädigungen und Personalausfälle in ihre Stützpunkte zurück.[7]
|In the early morning hours of 28 April off the southern coast of England, German fast attack craft under the leadership of Korvettenkapitän Klug and Kapitänleutnant von Mirbach sank three ships totaling 9100 GRT from a convoy defended by destroyers and numerous smaller combat vessels; a further vessel of 200 GRT was torpedoed and assumed to have been sunk. During the course of the hard fought battle a destroyer was also torpedoed; its sinking could not be observed due to the resistance that had commenced, but can assumed with certainty. Our units returned to their bases without damage nor loss of personnel.

150th Anniversary: 1851-2001; The First Issue: Imagining How a Paper Was Born
Published: November 14, 2001
(Page 2 of 4)
''Yes,'' Jones said impatiently. ''And half the other damned squibs in the sheet. And made a fine job of it, too. So now, I beg you, man, come down from here.'' He spoke as if they were perched atop the mast of a storm-tossed ship. ''For God's sake, Henry, everyone's gone home. Let's get out of this drafty husk of a barn and into a warm tavern for an hour. Then later we'll go around and see how the boys are getting along.''
Ten minutes earlier, a wagon had gone forth, carrying 5,000 copies of Volume I, No. 1, to be delivered to the ragged mitts and raucous throats of the town's freebooting newsboys. True, changes and addenda could always be included in the later editions, but Greeley and Bennett and all the others would hold them to the flaws and oversights of the bulldog. If there was something they had forgotten, they would pay for it dearly in jeers and mockery. Henry Raymond possessed the disquieting talent of being able to rattle off, from memory, on the fingers of both hands, the names of New York papers that, over the last 50 years, had been laughed out of town after a single issue.
''I'll allow I could use a glass of something,'' Raymond said at last.
''That is the first sensible thing you have said in the past 10 minutes,'' Jones said. ''Come on, then.'' But Raymond lingered another moment, pulling thoughtfully at his side whiskers. ''We missed something, George,'' he said. ''I feel it.''
''So, very well, we missed something. The grand high Panjandrum of Swat's third-best elephant was delivered of a pup. A dry-goods dealer from Chillicothe, Ohio, was cleaned out of his traveling money by a pickpocket, outside the Crystal Palace. A stinking drunk drayman in Five Points beat the brains out of his floozy of a wife, who upon further investigation turned out to be both his first cousin and his mother-in-law. No matter. We'll put it in the next one.''
''This may be the only one,'' Raymond said. But the steely rasp had returned to his voice, and he turned from the window at last, the sickly light of doubt extinguished from his gaze. ''I would like to know, looking backward from the vantage of our ruin, that at least we got it all right.''
Jones took him by the arm, quickly, and dragged him toward the stairs. George Jones had his own ideas about the advisability or possibility of getting it all right, but they were fairly inchoate, and he kept them to himself.
The partners made their way down the dark stairwell of the building. Though the building was less than a few weeks old, it was already tinged with the amalgam of ash, rainwater and urine of mysterious origin that was the universal perfume of the stairwells of lower New York. The walls were unfinished, and through the chinks in the lath seeped a thick yellow grout of gaslight and fog.
Camac, Mullins and some of the printer's devils had gotten no closer to home than a porterhouse at the corner of Beekman Street that, even at this hour, was altogether too full of Tribune men to suit Henry Raymond. ''They get a better class of drunk at the Shakespeare,'' Raymond said. ''Let's cross the park.''
Raymond had given the flower of his journalistic youth to Horace Greeley, the cheeseparing old kook: The New York Tribune had been his creation, on a daily basis, every bit as much as Greeley's, and the older man a second father to him. Yet his years of loyalty and good service Greeley had repaid by laying Raymond off when he fell ill -- on the very morning the fever struck -- and by never once, in all those long weeks of recuperation, coming to visit. As much as of shrewdness or good intentions, the launching of The New York Times was an act of parricidal rage. Raymond intended The Times to kill The Tribune.
A Tavern With a Tilt
They raised their collars and kept on walking, past the dark Tribune building, past City Hall, across the park, to Duane Street.
The Shakespeare Tavern was a low yellow-brick inn, gabled, tottering and listing to the left, near Broadway and Duane. The actor Edwin Forrest drank there, and the boys from Salmagundi; Herman Melville, Poe before his final bender, that arrant scribbler Walter Whitman. Though he was known for his cool hand and temperate prose, Raymond had been known for his astonishing outbursts of poeticizing. Like all great editors, he had the soul of a general, and like all great generals, he found the company of literary men congenial. At this hour the Shakespeare was officially closed, but in the end the German who ran the place was persuaded to let in Raymond and Jones by the cajoling and scabrous importunities of his sole remaining customer.
It was a freak show, a curiosity worthy of the American Museum, and unlike Joice Heth, the toothless and loquacious 161-year-old black woman who claimed to have suckled George Washington, or the Fejee mermaid stitched from the outraged halves of a monkey and a fish, it was indisputably, pitiably real: Phineas T. Barnum, one of the best-known proselytes of the heyday of American temperance, crammed into a tiny booth, his high silk hat askew, ribbon tie unknotted, muttering into his wine.
''Drunk,'' he confirmed, waving Raymond and Jones over to his table. ''And a disgrace to myself and all who know and love me.''

Epic Records and Hotel Cafe Set to Release Hotel Cafe Presents Winter Songs on October 14
In the year of the female singer-songwriter, Epic Records and Hotel Cafe have partnered up to release Hotel Cafe Presents Winter Songs – a compilation of both original recordings as well as classic holiday tracks sung by a lineup of female singer-songwriters including many who have been associated with Hotel Cafe including Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Brandi Carlile and KT Tunstall. The star-studded album, which will be released on October 14 will also feature an exclusive medley of the traditional folk song, "Auld Lang Syne" from which all proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen For The Cure.
On making Hotel Cafe Presents Winter Songs, singer Sara Bareilles had this to say, "I honestly never thought I would ever be on a Holiday album, but when the idea of the Hotel Cafe putting one together came about, I was really excited. I was honored to be a part of a compilation showcasing the incredible female talent at the Cafe, and Ingrid Michaelson and I wrote a song specifically for this project. I'm really looking forward to sharing it. The entire album will be incredibly beautiful."
Once just a small coffee shop, The Hotel Cafe has quickly blossomed into not only one of the premier singer/songwriter venues in the United States, but also been labeled "the place that breaks artists." The artists surrounding The Hotel Cafe regard it as home. Instead of competition between musicians, many are there every night supporting one another or playing at each other's side. On Hotel Cafe Presents Winter Songs, this is exactly what these artists set out to do – support each other to produce a project they all believe in.
Included on this unique album are five incredible original recordings starting off with a stunning recording of "Winter Song," a gorgeous duet of which Sara Bareilles co-wrote and recorded with Ingrid Michaelson. Other originals include, "The Heartache Can Wait" which Brandi Carlile penned, "Misletoe" from Colbie Caillat, "All My Bells Are Ringing" from newcomer Lenka, and the sassy "Maybe Next Year (X-Mas Song,)" sung by Meiko.
Katy Perry adds her own rendition of the traditional, "White Christmas" while additional performances of the following holiday classics round out this extraordinary album; "Frosty The Snowman" sung by Fiona Apple, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" performed by Holly Conlan, "Christmas Song" delicately performed by Catherine Feeny, "Silver Bells" by R&B soulstress Alice Smith, "Blue Christmas" by Nicole Atkins, "Winter Wonderland" performed by Kate Havnevik, "Silent Night" softly sung by Priscilla Ahn, and a lively rendition of "Sleigh Ride" by KT Tunstall.
The track listing is as follows: 1. Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson - "Winter Song" 2. Brandi Carlile - "The Heartache Can Wait" 3. Lenka - "All My Bells Are Ringing" 4. KT Tunstall - "Sleigh Ride" 5. Alice Smith - "Silver Bells" 6. Nicole Atkins - "Blue Christmas" 7. Fiona Apple - "Frosty The Snowman" 8. Meiko - "Maybe Next Year (X-Mas Song)" 9. Holly Conlan - "I'll Be Home For Christmas" 10. Katy Perry - "White Christmas" 11. Colbie Caillat - "Misletoe" 12. Priscilla Ahn - "Silent Night" 13. Kate Havnevik - "Winter Wonderland" 14. Catherine Feeny - "Christmas Song" 15. Hotel Cafe Medley - Auld Lang Syne (Charity Medley)

Final Score, and Stuff
|10.08.08 at 6:44 pm ET
That was a remarkably intense fourth quarter, but the Sixers, who didn't go that deeply into their bench and had starter Thaddeus Young in there at the end, pulled it out 98-92.
There were a lot of good things for the Celtics tonight. Patrick O'Bryant and Bill Walker, particularly showed some good signs. Brian Scalabrine, however, had a tough night. We'll have more in a bit.

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/18/14
KANSAS CITY, Mo. When slumping Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas got to Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday, he figured he would just go through his normal pregame routine of stretching, taking infield and batting practice all the while trying to keep his chin up. But then Moustakas got a surprise visit from Royals legend George Brett that not only changed his attitude, but may have saved his season. He actually came down to the clubhouse and just told me to smile, Moustakas said. Thats what he said. He told me to smiles and to have fun. And then he kind of got serious and grabbed me and told me, You better be the one having the most fun out there tonight. You better be the happiest guy out there. Sure enough, I went out there, forgot about my slump, and had a pretty good game (two-run homer, three RBIs) and had a blast. At first, Bretts advice seemed a bit unusual to the man they call Moose in Kansas City -- Moustakas hasnt had much personally to smile about. Moustakas dreadful se...

Historical Traveler Reviews La Tourelle Ithaca
Good choice-You won't be disappointed!
Very clean, well appointed rooms. Friendly staff. The A/C units are have above average noise. No hair dryer in room. La Tourelle is in the process of adding a large, new wing. The construction was not a problem and the new rooms should be very nice.
Nice stay
While I was less than super-impressed with the town of Ithaca itself, this inn was clean, comfortable, and quiet, with spacious rooms and country ambience, near outstanding state parks. For those who don't care much for B&Bs or chain motels. Only real downside: No breakfast! Free internet in lobby. A few easy miles from downtown (though because of one-way roads you may need to take a slightly different route returning, so check before you leave).
A nice place to begin a trip to the Finger Lakes.
They also appear to be just beginning to offer packages of land and water outdoor activities, so inquire if you're interested.
A Peaceful Get-away
La Tourelle is a paeceful get-away...laid back but with all the amenities that one expects whether on business or a mini vacation. Loaded with atmosphere and not far from many attractions that are in the neighborhood.
Not too large allowing one to have personalized service and get to know the employees. Large accomodations and with a bed to write home about.
A comfortable "home away from home" where one can energize themselves
and escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Wish that I could spend more time there.
A Contented Guest
A Hotel with Class
The La Tourelle is a hotel with class. My wife and I had a very pleasent and relaxing stay at this hotel. The staff at the La Tourelle are wonderful and do every thing to make you like your not at home. I am recomending to anyone that is visiting Ithaca to stay at the La tourelle, it will not be a disapointment.
Best Place to stay
The LaTourelle has a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff is very accomodating and helpful. Views from the property are fantastic. Close to everything but far enough away for quiet retreat.
Spacious and comfortable rooms.
I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to visit the area.
We had a great time. You couldn't ask for more.
Beautiful Stay
We spent a weekend at the La Tourelle Inn, we had a wonderful time. We had a beautiful room and very spacious. The veiws from there are absolutely wonderful, it is a very tranquil place. Not far from the waterfalls, which is also a beautiful part of nature. The staff of the hotel were very polite and were very helpful. We had a great time..... if your looking for a get away, try the La Tourelle for a very relaxing and enjoyable time.
A Great Place to Stay
I was amazed. I was weary when I saw the construction but it was all for naught. I never heard the construction going on at any time during my stay and I was in a room near where the addition was being built. From the personal greeting when we walked in the door to the spacious room, the hotel and the staff were a delight. The King size beds with the feather bed mattress were heaven. I never slept so well in a hotel before. The fire in the fireplace every evening was a welcome every evening sitting around chatting with friends.
Home away from Home
When traveling to Ithaca to visit our son at Ithaca College, we always stay at La Tourelle - its cozy, clean and very comfortable. The rooms have comfortable featherbeds and back up to a beautiful state park. The rates are reasonable unless its Parent's Weekend or Graduation weekend. The inn is ideally located close to Ithaca College.
Glad we found this place!
What a beautiful place. From the minute we entered the lobby, we knew we were in for a treat and not just a typical hotel. We had a lovely, spacious room with a king sized bed. Loved the featherbed! The staff was wonderful and very friendly. We will be back.
Great place to stay in a great town
Great place - Great staff. The charm of the Inn setting is wonderful.
The grounds are beautiful - if you like to see deer grazing on the yard. Rooms are very nice, comfortable and ALWAYS FRESH>but the best deal of the stay is the staff. They go out of their way to make you stay pleasurable.

Does this rappa still have some rhythm, or is he tone deaf now?
Parappa the Rapper is about a dog named….Parappa who is trying to impress the love of his life, Sunny Funny, the sun flower. I bet I know what's running through your mind right now. What the $*#* is going on? Believe me; you have every right to say that. Sure the story sounds down right ridiculous, but the way Parappa comes at every pain staking hardship to get the girl is a sight to behold; he learns karate, how to drive, how to cook, just to get the girl. Now I'm not saying that the story is epic, or the most AMAZING thing I've ever seen, but it does the job. Does it do it well, not really, but hey it's a music based game so I'll cut it some slack.
All you have to do in the game is press the correct sequence of buttons at the correct time. Although this concept seems pretty simple, and boring, I thought it was pretty fun. Sure you DON'T have to follow the correct button sequence and you can make your own beats, but usually that will bring you to the failure screen, woohoo. That pretty much sums up gameplay. It's so easy, even a cave man can do it, hahahaha, I've been watching way TOO many car insurance commercials.
Paper graphics, that's all I'm going to say. Love it, hate it, that's up to you.
The in-game music was great, and it had better be cus it is a "music game" after all. Having no good music in a "music game" is like having a dog crap on your lawn 100 times, that's right, 100 TIMES!!! The songs were pretty catchy for the most part, and were fun to play along with. There are only six songs though, and honestly, that just isn't enough to satisfy my ears.
Overall: Parappa the Rapper has aged HORRIBLY over the years. Everything that amazed me when I was little was turned into a pile of horse dung. It just can't match the standards for music-based games today. You can probably beat the game in less than 30 minutes if you wanted too. I don't really care about how long games are, but if you're going to pay $30 for a new game, it had better last at least an hour!!! (I got my copy for $20 used BTW) Even Wii Play lasts longer than this game, and that's saying something. What makes this even worse is that they didn't even add any new content to the game, and they want to sell if for $30 NEW, WHAT THE FUDGE CAKES!!! Sure Parappa the Rapper was pretty much the foundation of all music games today, but I think its time for Parappa the Rapper to retire…………. for good. Sometimes things are better left in the past.

Gene_Transfer >
Of all the methods of gene transfer, lentiviral transduction and retroviral transduction are ideal because they allow development of stably transduced mammalian cell lines. RetroNectin® Reagent can dramatically increase the efficiency of lentiviral transduction and retroviral transduction, especially in cells grown in suspension culture (e.g. lymphocytes) and in hematopoietic stem cells. RetroNectin Reagent is a chimeric peptide of recombinant E. coli-expressed human fibronectin fragments with three functional domains: a central cell-binding domain, heparin-binding domain II, and a CS1 site within the alternatively-spliced IIICS region. During the gene transduction procedure, this 574 amino acid protein acts like a matchmaker between recombinant retroviral particles or lentiviral particles and cells, boosting the efficiency of gene transfer – no need to add conventional, cytotoxic additives like polybrene for successful gene transduction. RetroNectin Precoated Dishes are available as 3.5 cm diameter dishes, precoated with RetroNectin Reagent at 40 µg/mL, and ready for use – making workflows for lentiviral transduction or retroviral transduction protocols efficient and simple.
Learn more about gene transfer with RetroNectin Reagent in the video below:
Over 1,900 peer-reviewed articles have been published in which RetroNectin Reagent was used for gene transduction, including studies using human stem cells, primary cells, and difficult-to-transduce cell lines. Excellent results have been obtained with both suspended and adherent mammalian cells, and the levels of gene transfer obtained with RetroNectin Reagent are significantly higher for nearly all cell types when compared to conventional methods with fibronectin, polybrene, or protamine. Additionally, higher efficiencies allow gene transduction to be performed with less virus and fewer cells than conventional methods.
Many studies have used RetroNectin Reagent for gene transduction, including research in the areas of immunology and immunotherapy, gene therapy studies, diabetes research, cancer research, and many studies on hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells. While research-grade RetroNectin Reagent (Cat.#s T100A and T100B) are intended for research use only, cGMP-grade RetroNectin is also available. RetroNectin (GMP) (Cat. # T201) is manufactured as a quality-assured product according to guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for Investigational Products. This product (Cat. #T201) can be used for ex vivo clinical applications and is limited to investigational use only. RetroNectin reagent has been used in over 57 gene therapy clinical trials.

Critical Review by Christine Hamelin
SOURCE: "Sadness and Light," in Canadian Forum, Vol. LXXIV, No. 846, January-February, 1996, pp. 46-7.
In the following review of Coming to Canada, Hamelin praises Shields's poetry, stating that in it readers hear the same poignant voice of her novels.
It is difficult to read Carol Shields' collection of poetry, Coming to Canada, without preconceptions; by now, we know her voice well and find ourselves looking for glimmers of Daisy Goodwill and shades of Mary Swann. And in fact the poems in this retrospective—which includes selections from Others (1972), Intersect (1974) and an earlier volume also entitled Coming to Canada (1992), as well as 33 new ones—have the same honest, unpretentious intensity as Shields' best fiction. Shields excels at character and description, and many of the poems are like little novels, tiny scenes held up to the light.
In his introduction, Christopher Levenson expresses surprise that the poems are not "as full of sweetness and light" as he had expected. But since most of them are tinged with an awareness of mortality, of missed opportunities, or a certain anxiety, this comment leaves one wondering if Shields is still a victim of what could be called the L.M. Montgomery Syndrome, where women who write about the domestic realm are often underrated. In fact, the reflective and philosophical bent of a number of the poems dispels the myth that Shields is a "women's writer", fixated on the family, and many of her images reveal a crueler or more bizarre underside of reality than is evident in her novels.
Levenson argues that in Others, Shields' preoccupation with the family leads to "a sense of stifling coziness", and adds that but for her wit and technical skill, the poems would be "debilitatingly trivial". And yet most of the poems deal with complex and often negative aspects of life. "The New Mothers" dispassionately describes a hospital where "egg-bald babies lie" like "insects in cases", crying "tiny metal tunes, / hairpins scratching / sky". Nor does "Anne at the Symphony" evoke coziness. Anne, "stilled in ether", permits "an alien clarinet / to scoop out an injury / we can't even imagine." The theory of life transmitted by "vinegar pure" flutes "bleeds like sand / through her faintly / clapping hands". Rather than celebrating "happiness, harmony and order", as Levenson suggests, these poems suggest a sadness and even emptiness behind the reassuring rituals of everyday life.
True, Shields grounds her work in the domestic, but she connects its specific details to larger concerns and sometimes terrifying realities, as in "A Friend of Ours who Knits".
The mittens that leap
from her anxious wool annul
old injuries and rehearse
her future tense.
Her husband's career is secured
in cablestitch, and her children,
double-ribbed, are
safe from disease.
knit, purl,
she goes faster and faster,
increase, decrease,
now she prevents
storms, earthquakes, world wars.
In the "Coming to Canada" section of the volume, the speaker's voice is relaxed, personal and outward-reaching. The title generates certain expectations: that we will learn about Shields' feelings about immigrating to Canada, and perhaps that we will see ourselves reflected. But these poems deal mostly with Shields' youth in the U.S. They recreate early sensations such as blowing through a blade of grass, or learning to speak ("when language blew up a new balloon / almost every day"), as well as some more frightening aspects of childhood. In one poem, a child touches her dead grandmother's mouth, seeing this act as the first of many terrifying tests in the adult world. In another, a child thinking about religion concludes that "It was better not / To think about / The Holy Ghost".
Shields is at her best when she places personal details in a broader historical or political context, as in her subtle merging of the public and private effects of war in "The Four Seasons". Less strong are the poems where she confronts philosophical issues directly, as in "I/Myself," where she attempts to describe the nature of consciousness by comparing the complicated back of a radio to the inside of her head.
The title poem, "Coming to Canada", juxtaposes a 1932 postcard, sent on the occasion of an aunt's Canadian honeymoon, with the poet's perception of Canada:
It was cool and quiet there
with a king and queen
and people drinking tea
and being polite and clean
snow coming down
Years later, this clichéd view is displaced when the speaker settles in Canada, which becomes "here and now and home / the place I came to / the place I was from."
Like many other writers of her generation (one thinks of Margaret Atwood's moving poem about her father in Morning in the Burned House), Shields is preoccupied with the themes of the aging and death of parents or relatives. In "Our Old Aunt Who Is Now in a Retirement Home", Auntie, "stewed / in authentic age" and caught "in her closet of brown breath," "lives from tray to tray, / briefly fingering / squares of cake." "The final outrage", the poet discovers, is "not death, / but lingering". There is an unexpected gravity and sadness in many of her later poems, which confront the inevitability of time's passing and the heartbreak of old age through such situations as the selling of the family house, the painful recognition of aging felt at a class reunion or the choked anger of golden-agers on a tour of autumn leaves.
But not all of the new poems are overtly about time. In "Work", which seems haunted by Susanna Moodie on whom Shields wrote her M.A. thesis [Susanna Moodie: Voice and Vision], the poet describes a couple stacking wood:
Afterwards we drank tea
and noticed how our hands shook
clumsy as paws
with the tiny cups,
as though the shock
of moving from brutal bark
to flowered china
had been too great.
Such elegance and control are more the rule than the exception in this deeply human collection of poems. When Shields strikes the right balance between the personal and the political, the mundane and the philosophical, her writing is powerful indeed. Many poems in Coming to Canada achieve that balance, and in them one recognizes the voice we have grown accustomed to through reading Shields' novels: a quiet, unpretentious voice speaking important truths.
