Chase: Focus is back on the trackBy JENNA FRYER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 24,2013CHARLOTTE, N.C. Jeff Gordon got into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship when NASCAR made an unprecedented move to expand the playoff field to 13 drivers after the controversial ending at Richmond.
Six weeks later, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson is back on top of the standings and in a tight points race with Matt Kenseth. Gordon is fifth, still mathematically in contention for his fifth title, just behind Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.
And the focus finally seems to be back on the championship, instead of the shenanigans that occurred just before the 10-race Chase began.
Youre going to go through rough patches and take some hits whether youre a competitor or whether youre a sport. That was certainly one of them, Gordon said during testing at Texas Motor Speedway this week. But ever since then, the focus has been on the competition and whats happening on the track, and I feel like every week that builds, weve got a tight points battle with the first two guys and thats certainly going to every week create a lot of interest.
Johnson takes a four-point lead over Kenseth into Sundays race at Martinsville. Its the first time Kenseth hasnt been the points leader since the Chase began, and he opened it with wins in the first two rounds. But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is coming off a 20th-place finish at Talladega that allowed Johnson to take his first lead of the Chase.
Gordon was added to the Chase when NASCAR Chairman Brian France determined the four-time champion did not have a fair chance to race his way into the 12-driver field because of the actions of at least three organizations over the closing laps at Richmond.
NASCAR determined that Michael Waltrip Racing manipulated the outcome of the race in a bid to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase. The sanctioning body also placed Penske Racing and Front Row Motorsports on probation for the rest of the season when one-sided radio chatter showed Front Row discussing giving Penske track position in exchange for an unidentified favor.
It definitely was a funk, Johnson said. I think that its kind of a distant thought now for most, although I saw Martin Truex (at testing in Texas on Tuesday), and it certainly isnt a distant thought for him. ... I feel bad for the guy.
The fallout has cost Truex his job at MWR. The team will run that car only a partial schedule next season because sponsor NAPA Auto Parts said it is leaving at the end of the season, a decision that forced MWR to layoff roughly 15 percent of its workforce.
Johnson said he hopes NASCAR has learned a lot about what happened and can prevent it from happening again.
I feel like the racing and the tight points battle weve had has really come through all of that, and theres a really good outlook for our 2013 season when you reflect back on it when the years over, he said.
Gordon said those few days after Richmond were among the toughest hes ever been through in racing.
My emotions are good right now, he said. Now that things have gone well, its been fun. Racing has been fun since Chicago.
NOT GIVING UP: Carl Edwards is doing a balancing act the last four races of the NASCAR season.
We are not putting this season behind us yet, he said.
Even though his championship chance this year is all but gone hes 10th in the standings and 68 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, Edwards isnt ready to count the rest of this season as just testing and preparation for next year.
We have two things to do for the rest of the year. Number one, just win as many races as we can, have as much fun as we can, Edwards said. But two, its a real close second, is to prepare for 2014. It starts over again very quickly and every bonus point you can get through wins next season will help you to compete for that championship.
The Roush-Fenway Racing driver has twice been the season runner-up, including 2011 when he tied in points but finished second on the tiebreaker because Tony Stewart had more wins. Edwards won a series-high nine races in 2008, when he was also second.
My mission is to win the championship. That what I want to do, Edwards said. I know what its like to win a bunch of races in a year. I know what its like to be close.
MAMMOVAN: Alexis DeJoria heads to the NHRA Toyota National at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with her Funny Car painted pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
But DeJoria has taken the cause a step further, partnering with Nevada Health Centers to bring a Mammovan to the race. The mobile mammogram unit in a semi-truck will provide free mammograms to women over 40 at the track. The Mammovan will be located behind DeJorias pit the entire race weekend.
Im very grateful that we were able to partner with the Nevada Health Centers this year, and provide this incredible service in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, said DeJoria, who plans to be at the van during down time over the weekend.MORE IN Wire SportsBetween the Chicago Blackhawks veteran poise and the Tampa Bay Lightnings young stars, the...

THR Emmy Roundtable: 6 Drama Actresses on Death Threats, Post-Baby Auditions
Monica Potter, Kerry Washington, Kate Mara, Connie Britton, Anna Gunn and Elisabeth Moss reveal the toilet-cleaning jobs they'd like to forget in an uncensored chat about making it in the competitive world of series TV and how to respond when fans say, "You look so much bigger on camera!"
THR: Casting directors still use the word "ethnic"?
Washington: If not "black," then yeah. People have artistic license … that's what casting is: fitting the right look to the right character. Whereas you could maybe lose some weight, there's not really anything I can do, nor would I want to, about being black.
THR: What is the craziest thing you've ever done to get a role?
Mara (To Washington): Oh, you have one, you're already laughing!
Washington: I've written a lot of letters to directors.
Mara: Yeah, I've done that too.
Moss: I don't know if it works.
Washington: It has and it hasn't.
Britton: Maybe you need to write a different letter? (Laughs.)
Moss: If you paste it together with letters from newspapers. Wait, is that weird?
Britton: You put little, tiny pictures of yourself in your different moods!
PHOTOS: Broadcast TV's Returning Shows 2013-14
Washington: It has only worked one time.
Potter: Do you send it to their house?
Washington: The production office, or whatever.
Moss: You could take it to their house, show real passion.
Washington: Boom box over my head!
Britton: The ones I fight for really hard, I don't get.
Washington: But when you look back, don't you feel like there is a logic to how things have fallen into place? Like, if only I could have known then what I know now, I would have cried a lot less! Those heartbreak moments. Before Scandal, the only other two pilots I'd ever done were shows that got picked up, but I got fired. They recast my character on both shows.
Mara: Oh, that's horrible.
Washington: But if I had gotten picked up on one of them, I wouldn't have been able to do Ray. You know what I mean? It seems at the time like a my-career-is-over moment, but it makes perfect sense in the end.
STORY: 'Mad Men's' Linda Cardellini Deflects Trick Questions, Talks 'Freaks and Geeks'
THR: How involved are you in the writing of your characters? Matt Weiner has said the actors aren't too involved on Mad Men.
Mara: (To Moss) Really?
Moss: Yeah. But why would I be involved? What am I going to come up with that's better? I'm not a writer, so I wouldn't dare to try to come up with a better idea.
THR: Monica, did the Parenthood writers talk with you in advance about your character's cancer storyline?
Potter: Around this time last year, I went in for a mammogram. They said, "We found a little something, we need you to come back in a few weeks." I went home, panicked and thought, "This is BS. Nobody in my family has breast cancer!" And I e-mailed Jason [Katims, Parenthood creator] and said, "You know, I'm really scared about something … can we maybe explore this storyline for Kristina?" I knew his wife, Kathy, had gone through it. He e-mailed back and said, "Oh my God, I have the chills. I'm in the writers room, we just broke this same story for Kristina."
Washington: Wow.
Potter: So it was just kismet. I went back to the doctor, and I'm fine now, obviously. But so it was one of those things where he said, "I really want you to be a part of this collaboration." Though, I'm always asking the writers to write less for me! I get nervous in the big family scenes where everyone's talking. So, I just eat in those scenes. It makes it much easier. I'm just going to eat a piece of ham or some chicken.
Britton: Or Cheez Whiz. (Laughs.)
Moss: Did you know your character was going to survive?
STORY: 'Breaking Bad's' Vince Gilligan on Warren Buffett's Secret Video
Potter: I kind of knew because Kathy had made it. A lot of what's written mirrors what's going on in Jason's life, including his son being on the autism spectrum.
Gunn: [Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan] knew my character's story very intimately, and in a very detailed way, from the beginning. But we did some talking at the beginning because she wasn't particularly clear to me. She was a tough character to play; very shrouded, keeps everything pretty close to the vest. I needed to know more so that I could play her.
Washington: Right.
Gunn: One of the things that was bothersome to me was in the pilot, Walt was working two jobs and Skyler was at home. I asked, "What is she doing at home all day? He's taking the kid to school and everything else. And what is she doing?" And Vince said, "She's pregnant." And I said, "Yeah? And?" (Laughter.)
Washington: I love that!
Gunn: And he said, "Well, she's just taking it easy." And I said, "Well, you know, people still do things when they're pregnant." So we came up with something for her to do at home, which ultimately fell by the wayside, but that made it more understandable for me. It was important for me, and Vince respected that.
Mara: As House of Cards went on, I felt as if Zoe was doing things that I do. Really, really subtle things. Not sexually! (Laughs.) But as simple as she's sitting at home eating raw carrots for dinner. That's one of those things I do, too. Also, Beau [Willimon, showrunner] got to know me really well, and we would joke about how my notes on scripts were always, "I think I should say less. Like, let's cross out these lines. Less is more!"
STORY: 'Scandal's' Kerry Washington on Olivia's Shocking Family Affairs
THR: Kerry, you've been pretty active politically. Have you experienced any career blowback or any negative reaction to that kind of stuff?
Washington: I come from a family where people really participate in the democratic process. I don't think that being an actor should prevent me from continuing to do the things I do. A lot of people fought for me to have the right as a woman to be able to participate, and as a person of color, and so I don't want my acting to get in the way of that. I do it as an American. And blowback? Absolutely. After I spoke at the Democratic National Convention -- our show has a very active life on Twitter and Facebook -- I couldn't go near any of it because there were threats to my life, sexism and racism. It was shocking that me speaking at a convention incited all this anger. Thank God for block on Twitter!
THR: What were they angry about, specifically? Just the audacity of an actor speaking at the convention?
Washington: I guess so, and also disagreeing with my views, which I totally think is great. I would never block somebody for disagreeing with me. But the threats to my life … that's not so good.
Britton: Last year, I co-wrote an op-ed because [Mitt] Romney had started using "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose," the motto from Friday Night Lights, in his campaign. I did the piece with Sarah Aubrey, our executive producer on the show, about the actual intent of that slogan and what the women of Friday Night Lights would think of Romney using it. I was really nervous because we had just started doing Nashville, and I got really scared about what people would think. I don't do Twitter, so I probably missed a lot of the reactions. And then Hurricane Sandy happened …
Washington: That was nice and distracting!

Roy hat trick sparks Beanpot stunner
Quinn Smith scored a pair of goals, Parker Milner stopped 19 shots, and three-time defending champion Boston College beat Harvard 4-1 in the Beanpot tournament on Monday night.
NHL ACTIONTake a look at the best NHL photos from this week's games.
Boston College (16-7-2) will be seeking its 18th title and a school-record fourth straight championship next Monday when it faces Northeastern, a 3-2 winner over Boston University in the opening game.
It was the 13th time in the last 14 tournament matchups that the Eagles defeated the Crimson (5-15-1).
Steven Whitney and Michael Matheson also scored for the defending champion Eagles. Danny Biega netted Harvard's goal.
The Crimson, who have won just once since mid-November — an overtime victory at Boston University on Jan. 9 — haven't captured the Beanpot title since 1993.
Smith had the only goal of the first period, scoring off a rebound in front when he gathered the puck on his backhand before shifting for a forehand shot over goalie Raphael Girard's right shoulder.
Smith then made it 2-0 with 1:42 left in the second. He put in a forehand off a rebound from the bottom of the left circle.
Matheson's one-timer past Girard from the right circle during a power play with 51 seconds left in the second made it 3-0.
Biega scored midway into the third before Whitney answered at 14:57.
LEADERS LOVE SPORTSObama's a noted hoops fan, but he's not the only world leader with a penchant for sports.
BC, which outshot Harvard 46-20, dominated play for most of the game, quieting the mostly college crowd that usually offers a variety of interesting chants.
Many of the students in Harvard's section had left before the third period.
In the tournament opener earlier Monday night, Kevin Roy scored three goals as Northeastern snapped a 15-game losing streak against Boston University in Beanpot play.
Roy netted his second goal off a turnover in the second period and then batted home an attempted clearing pass late in the game that kicked off the 61st annual tournament.
Chris Rawlings made 32 saves for the Huskies (8-13-3), who will be trying to claim their fifth Beanpot crown — the fewest by far of the four schools — and first since 1988.
Danny O'Regan and Sahir Gill scored for the Terriers (13-11-1). It is just the fourth time in 30 years that Boston University won't be playing in the title game.
The tournament pits the Boston area's four Division I hockey programs — located just a few miles apart — against each other annually on the first two Mondays in February.
''I've been a part of this tournament for a long time and heard all of the facts and figures on how Northeastern hasn't beaten Boston University for 15 years,'' Huskies coach Jim Madigan said. ''The facts and figures don't win hockey games. It's hard work.''
PRESIDENT TEBOW?He's already a field general, but is Tim Tebow worth your vote? Here are some sports figures we'd put on a ballot.
Boston University owns 29 titles, and Harvard has 10.
This is BU's first senior class since 1965 that won't capture at least one Beanpot title.
''It's disappointing,'' senior captain Wade Megan said, fighting back tears. ''I feel bad for my teammates, classmates.''
Roy, a freshman, certainly didn't look bothered by his school's past failures.
''I knew BU had more wins,'' he said. ''Every year, teams change and you can't look back at the history of what happened.''
With Northeastern clinging to a 2-1 lead, Roy, positioned to the right of the net, swatted in Matt Grzelcyk's attempted clear from in front of the crease.
BU got within 3-2 on Gill's goal with 71 seconds left. The Terriers pulled goalie Matt O'Connor for most of the final minute, but were unable to get any scoring chances.
The Huskies, who came into the tournament having beaten all three teams this season, grabbed a 2-1 edge midway into the second period off a giveaway by BU center Ben Rosen.
O'Connor left the crease and got to a loose puck to the right of the net. He fed a pass along the right boards to Rosen, who tried to center a pass to one of his defenseman in front of the uncovered net. But Roy skated in, dived, and tipped the puck into the empty net.
While trailing 2-1, BU had a 5-on-3 power play for 1 minute, 56 seconds, but failed to get many good shots on Rawlings.
Seconds after killing off the power play, the Huskies were short-handed again when Josh Manson was whistled for boarding.
Again, BU was forced to take long attempts from the outside.
The Huskies grabbed a 1-0 lead 2:09 into the game when Roy banged in a rebound in front before the Terriers tied it on O'Regan's goal 3 1/2 minutes later.

Graduation day of Jawahar Science College held
If the country is to progress adequate attention has to be paid to women's education. If this is done, women, who are the primary caregivers in the society, would turn out to be good administrators and economists, said A.R.Ansari, Chairman-cum-Managing Director of Neyveli Lignite Corporation.
Mr Ansari was delivering an address at the Graduation Day of Jawahar Science College here at the Lignite Hall in the Neyveli Township on Sunday. It was heartening to note that 70 per cent of 1,500 students studying in the college were women who had excelled in academic performance.
Mr Ansari underscored the point that educating women would bring about many benefits to the families as well as the society. Quoting Swami Vivekananda he said that those nations that had paid due respect to women had achieved greatness and those countries that did not were quite way off the goal.
Mr Ansari pointed out that though women had proved their mettle in many spheres they had to go a long way to achieve equal status in the minds of men. Therefore, he called upon men to respect women and also women to develop mutual respect to their counterparts.
He called upon the young graduates to make learning a life-long habit. They should constantly update their skills to face the challenges. Even if they happened to fail in their attempt they should derive a lesson from the failure.
Mr Ansari exhorted the graduates to give up defeatist mentality and develop positive attitude and strive to the utmost to succeed in their career.
On the occasion the Chairman also gave away certificates and medals to meritorious students.
The Chairman also instituted two gold medals to be given away to outstanding students (one boy and one girl student) of the college. NLC Director (Project and Planning) R.Kandasamy in his presidential address called upon the students to imbibe self-confidence, keep physically fit and focus on contribution to the society.
NLC Director (Human Resources) S.K.Acharya, president of the Jawahar Education Society S.Ramalingam, general secretary M.Kamalanarayanan, secretary P.Kuppuraj and Principal V.T.Chandrasekaran participated.

MANILA, Philippines - News that two more Filipino athletes are joining the delegation to the London Olympics has left chief of mission Manny Lopez excited.
Lopez said he has been informed about the incasion of Mark Javier and Rachel Cabral by the National Archery Association of the Philippines but has yet to get the official notification from the London Olympics organizing committee.
"The news of their inclusion really makes us all happy," said Lopez, who was scheduled to share the spotlight with some of the London-bound athletes late last night during the official sendoff party at the Blue Leaf in Taguig.
Javier and Cabral posted decent numbers during a world meet that drew the participation of 35 countries. That event served as the third and last qualifying tournament for the London Games.
The Olympics is set July 27 to Aug. 12 and with Javier and Cabral as the latest bets to make the grade, the number of athletes has risen to 11.
Also on the team are Marestela Torres and Rene Herrera of athletics, Jasime Alkhaldi and Jessie Lacuna of swimming, Mark Anthony Barriga of boxing, Daniel Caluag of BMX cycling, Brian Rosario of shooting, Tomohiko Hoshina of judo and Hidilyn Diaz of weightlifting.
The number of athletes can still go up to 12 should the International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) grant the desperate plea of the country to include lightweight Charly Suarez.
The Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines (ABAP) leadership did not lose hope in its quest to field more than one qualifier when it batted for Suarez's inclusion.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Knightsbridge Hotel
10 Beaufort Gardens, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Knightsbridge
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Knightsbridge Hotel is the perfect modestly priced entrée into one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the world. In fact the Knightsbridge is the ideal shopper's hotel, a sort of junior version of its sisters, Covent Garden and Charlotte Street, with a correspondingly lower nightly rate, leaving plenty of room on the credit cards for expeditions to Harrods and Harvey Nichols, as well as the shops of Sloane Street and Brompton Cross.
Though the building, on a quiet wooded cul-de-sac, is classic Georgian townhouse, the interiors are inventive, as we've come to expect from Tim and Kit Kemp. Tired country house clichés be damned—here you'll find a lobby full of modern artworks, an African-themed drawing room, where cozy armchairs huddle round the fireplace, and a soft pastel-toned library, complete with honor bar.
Guest rooms are impressive as well, decorated in a similar eclectic style, lighter and airier than you might expect, with rich fabrics, luxe furnishings and thick canopy beds. The bathrooms are a vision in granite and oak, with deep cast iron tubs and the obligatory Miller Harris bath products. These rooms are fit for business as well, with writing desks, private safes and high-speed internet access.
There's no restaurant, in keeping with the relative minimalism of the Knightsbridge, just room service, and breakfast served in the sitting rooms. You won't mind, though, as you're here to enjoy the neighborhood, not the lobby. Any number of dining options are to be had in the immediate area, and did we mention the shopping? If there's a drawback at all, it's that once you get used to staying here, you may begin to fantasize that you could actually live here. For those of us who are not yet in the market for a home in Chelsea, though, there's always the Knightsbridge.

Seemed a bit pricey, but I guess that's London. The room was small, but I guess that's to be expected, too.

What I liked:
(No exaggeration) I liked every single thing about this hotel! Highest highlights: my room was gorgeous and spotless and well-designed. There was a special welcome gift in my room that was super-nice. Each staff member I had contact with was sweet and energetic and knowledgeable. I loved the hotel upon sight of my room; combined with the warm welcome I received from the front desk. I told a few of the staff people that the Knightsbridge was my new favorite hotel (hence the title) and a couple of them responded by telling me that they loved the hotel also. That is a great thing to hear! My favorite thing outside of my room was the honor bar that was available to all the guests. It was so well-appointed and fabulous! The neighborhood where the hotel is located is excellent--quiet, pretty, and near Hyde Park and Harrod's. Honestly, I look forward to returning to London simply to stay at this hotel again. P.S. Room service breakfast was totally yummy!
What the hotel could do better:
There was not one thing that I disliked about the hotel.

What I liked:
Everything you want in a London city hotel, and nothing you don't need! Great rooms, excellent location, gorgeous lounge area, breakfast to die for. Even though our room was lower ground level, great all around! Highly recommended for a weekend getaway. Probably not ideal for a longer stay.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

Britt Assombalonga hit a second-half double - both from the penalty spot - to condemn relegation-threatened Carlisle to a nervous season finale.
Assombalonga's strike partner Conor Washington had already gone close with a third-minute effort before he opened the scoring in the 14th minute.
Defender Kgose Nthle advanced down the left to beat David Symington and his pin-point cross was steered in by Washington from 15 yards.
Graham Kavanagh's men offered little in response and Assombalonga slotted home the hosts' second from the spot in the 55th minutes after Reece Brown had been harshly adjudged to have handled Lloyd Isgrove's driven cross.
Lee Miller pulled a goal back when he fired in from 18 yards after the home defence had failed to deal with James Berrett's cross, yet Assomabalonga netted his 32nd goal of the season after being brought down in the area by Cumbrians goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Michael Bostwick added gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time with a deflected shot that wrong-footed Pickford.

Excellent Walks
There are some well signposted walks that you can take...these range from mega 36km ones that will take all day to more reasonable 3 or 4 hours ones. Here's the one we discovered that takes about 3 hours and is around 8 - 9 km and coveres some interesting forests, farm land, dales and hills.
Halfway along the perimeter road of the camp (the one that runs parrallel to the main road) you'll see a gap in the hedge and a signpost with walk numbers on it. Initially you need to follow the L3 walk in the direction of Larochette...this number is arrowed on signs and trees...walk through the forest, go past the excellent view of chateau Larochette, past the little lookout tower then take the steep steps down into Larochette..here you can stock up on bottles of water...bear right out of the town and keep following the L3 signs and they'll take you up some steep steps behind some houses ...then you'll get to a signpost (see picture)_ from here start following the H2 signs...this is a shorter route the L3...thereafter keep going on following the H2 signs ...these will take you in a 5km circuit until you get back to the signpost...then retrace your 'L3' steps back to the camp....ENJOY!

Industrial museum
You find this tiny museum just opposite the railway station building. It used to belong to the railway station too. There is a big glass window when you go up the few steps and through it you will see remnants of the big old Larochette factory of cloth manufactoring.
Créhange House
Or Chriechinger Haus as it is called in the local languge is the only completely restored building of the former castle. It's an impressive tall structure and on the backside there is a little cubicle sticking out without floor and one wonders whether with an appropriate floor it could have been the toilet or a rubbish shute. These days you don't have to pay attention as nothing will fall down.
- Castles and Palaces
The castle dates back to the 11th century. But it is thought that already in the Roman Empire there was some kind of castello built on the same rock.
The castle is open daily from Easter until 31st October from 10 am until 6 pm and the entry fee is 2 Euro for adults and 1 Euro for kids over 6.
We couldn't go inside as we were one day early and after 6 pm on top of that.
- Castles and Palaces
Larochette castle
The ruins of Larochette castle are dominating this small charming town at a 150 meters height the White Ernz, an affluent of the river Sure.
The main castle is accessed better by car unless you feel like walking there from the centre of the town.
The main castle which is built of stone is protected by a surrounding wall that nowadays is destroyed for its main part. Luckily a large part of the rest of the castle is restored.
The restored part gives you a fine impression of how a castle life of the 12th century could have been like. You see where the dining room was, the storage room and the bedroom. Paintings resemble of what the rooms might have looked like at these times.
The ticket for self tour was at the time of our visit 2 euros.
You can make lovely panoramic photos over Larochette and the surrounding forest.
What else apart visiting the castle
The best alternative option (apart from visiting the castle) is leisure walking in well marked footpaths around the city. Regional walking maps are available.
There is also a neo-romanesque parish church with Art Nouveau frescoes (open daily 10-17:00) and also an exhibition of textile machines ans tools.
The castle of Larochette
Above the village, you will see the castle. It's from the 11th century and formerly consisted of 5 houses from which only one is left, the other are ruins. You can either climb up the hill to get there or you drive there. Admission for adults is 1,50 Euro.
- Hiking and Walking
- Castles and Palaces
The center of town is called "Bleech". The square area has recently been done up and looks very pleasant. Here you find the hotels, restaurants and cafés and shops.
Old railway station
Between the market square and the castle you will find this old railway station "Larochette". There is a plaquette on it saying that the trains obviously run from 15.02.1882 until 02.05.1948.
St. Donatus church
This big church just off the market square was built from 1860-62 by the architect Charles Arendt. Inside you will find the paintings of the choir section by Nicolas Bruecher.

Not very likely, in deed :-)
It appears as if the the pixel clock calculation is done incorrectly by the
nvidia control panel. That would be a bug in the nvidia driver/panel, IMHO.
But on the other hand nvidia officially only supports a maximum resolution of
2560x1600 pixel per output, so filing a bug report to nvidia may not be effective,
because nvidia may not recognize it as a problem they need to fix.
Maybe it helps to increase the "Desired refresh rate" underneath "Advanced
Refresh Rate Parameters"? Does changing the "Desired refresh rate" has
any effect on the pixel clock value displayed? If so, maybe you can trick the
setting into creating the right pixel clock applying an actually wrong refresh rate?
Means: at the moment, a setting of 57Hz obviously generates a 48Hz output
(as actually expected when looking at the pixel clock). Assuming the error is
linear, then a setting of 68Hz might generate a 57Hz output (57*327.27/273.45).
BTW.: underneath "Custom display mode values", there is "Bit per pixel: 16".
Does it make any difference when setting this value to 32?
Other than that, i can only recommend to install Windows XP just to make
sure everything works fine, there. I fear, installing Linux with the modelines
as published earlier in this thread wouldn't help you for testing, because Linux
isn't officially supported by Matrox, so reporting "but it's working on Linux"
wouldn't impress Matrox support engineers a lot, i assume :-)

The Real Me
The dark corridors of my mind,
The silence of my thoughts,
Swirling together to create a felling of hatred and depression.
The smile of others makes me sick,
I envy their happiness and how they have it all,
No care in the world as they stroll along.
I snap at people keeping them away,
Not allowing them to see the real me,
A me that screams inside,
Full of hurt and pain,
A me who wants to be accepted,
To be set free from criticism and hate.
This one kinda has an ending. I might be getting better at this. Reviews are welcome.

To amplify a bit:
Right to workNo rights at work laws are terrible for workers.
- Mitt Romney is angry at the National Labor Relations Board because, under President Obama, it has been fulfilling its mission of upholding labor law. Sometimes that means companies get in trouble for illegally firing workers or otherwise retaliating against them for exercising their rights. When George W. Bush's NLRB was routinely favoring business, Republicans were not so outraged.
- Can you say "race to the bottom"?
- The people of Ohio made clear how they felt about Senate Bill 5.
- Union leaders get labeled as "having no interest in a constructive relationship with management" when they lead fights against wage and pension cuts, against making it easier to fire workers or cut their hours—in general, when they try to deny corporations the total control over workers' lives they want.

Los Gatos Research Introduces Second Generation Liquid-Water Isotope Analyzer
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Los Gatos Research (LGR), the leading innovator of cavity-enhanced laser-based instrumentation for analyses of gases and liquids, today announced the availability of the second-generation Liquid-Water Isotope Analyzer (LWIA). "Our new LWIA is the fastest, most accurate analyzer for measuring the isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in liquid water on the market today," said Douglas Baer, Ph.D., president of Los Gatos Research (www.LGRinc.com). "In addition, it gives users the flexibility to select the mode of operation that best suits their needs–whether it be extremely fast time response or extraordinarily high measurement precision."
Used for measuring stable isotopes of liquid water, the new Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer provides major advances over existing technology, including:
- Speed (high-throughput mode provides 120 sample measurements per day with 6 injections per measurement)
- Precision/accuracy (high-precision mode provides extraordinary replicate precision with a throughput of 30 sample measurements per day)
- Stability (immunity to ambient temperature variations)
- Robustness (demonstrated long term measurements in the field)
- Low Power (entire system, including Autoinjector, requires only 150 watts)
- Increased functionality (enhanced software control and analysis provides simple, ease of use and numerous additional analytical capabilities)
According to Baer, the new Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer was recently deployed and field tested for four consecutive weeks in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest Long Term Ecological Research site in Western Oregon, with Professor Jeff McDonnell at Oregon State University. The LWIA was used for real-time continuous measurements of the oxygen and hydrogen isotopes of precipitation and stream water during three large storm events. "We were able, for the first time, to document fine scale changes in rainfall composition and damping effects in the stream channel continuously through these periods," said Professor McDonnell, Richardson Chair in Watershed Science in the Department of Forest Engineering and head of Oregon State University's Hillslope and Watershed Hydrology group. "Our high-precision data showed remarkably fine scale patterns of internal rain-snow mixing–patterns we would not have been able to detect without such high-frequency sampling." McDonnell added, "Hydrologists will find LGR's new field analyzer a valuable tool for gaining new insight into water flow dynamics." These results will be published soon in the journal of Water Resources Research.
For users of earlier LWIA models, LGR is also making available hardware and software upgrades that will allow previous analyzers to meet the current specifications.
LGR (www.LGRinc.com) is a leading developer of instrumentation for measurements of trace gases and isotopes based on cavity enhanced laser absorption spectroscopy. LGR instruments have been deployed by scientists and engineers worldwide for ultra-precise measurements on all seven continents, unmanned aerial vehicles, research and commercial aircraft, and undersea.

I love being a psychology major because when I go to class I learn about life. On any given day in a psych class, I'm learning things that I can apply to my own life, and this has never been more true than this semester in my Science of Happiness class. If you come to USC, this class HAS to be on your bucket list. Just as an example, here's what we learned today:
Why, in many cultures, is it acceptable for males to lose their virginity at an early age, while females are expected to remain virgins until marriage? Why do over 80% of cultures allow polygamy (one man having many wives) but almost none allow polyandry (the opposite)? Why do males exhibit so much more jealousy than females in a romantic or sexual relationship, and why are males so much more willing to take risks and have sex with a stranger than females are?
The answer to all these questions: science! Natural selection, to be exact. Check it out: while males can produce millions of tiny sperm each day, females only produce 270 [relatively] huge eggs in a lifetime. If a male contributes to conception, he can contribute again in a couple hours. On the other hand, a female can't contribute again for about another year. If you look at it in terms of natural selection, it's no wonder why females tend to be so choosy and males tend to be much less so. And because of the way we reproduce, females are always certain about who their children are, while males can never be sure. This is where that male jealousy comes from.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about this like it's black and white. I'm not saying that all guys are jealous and all females are super choosy, or anything like that. What I am saying is that it's pretty interesting that these trends exist across cultures, and that we can trace their roots back to hard, provable science.
And that's why I love psychology. It's an invigorating mix between science, culture, and real life application. We can ask tricky questions and approach them from so many different angles. There's never one absolute right answer, but that's why we learn to think critically not only when approaching science but also when approaching real life. My psychology studies have helped me to understand more about my life and will help me in the future to think about all aspects of life in a variety of ways — and that is invaluable.

Cale Elementary Students Mix It Up!
By Martha Woodroof
Albemarle County, VA – The idea behind National Mix It Up Day is pretty simple: get elementary students to eat lunch with a different group of schoolmates, and bring in high school students to facilitate this "mixed-up" interaction.
Martha Woodroof mixed it up last week in Cale Elementary School cafeteria in Albemarle County.

ClassicsOnline Home » RIES, F.: Piano Concertos, Vol. 1 (Hinterhuber, Grodd) - Nos. 6 and 8, "Salut au Rhin"
The eight piano concertos of Beethoven's friend and pupil Ferdinand Ries stand alongside those of Hummel as the most important works of their kind from the early 19th Century. Intensely lyrical and yet displaying at times a rugged Beethovenian power, Ries's concertos are works of impressive musical stature. This world première recording features the Concerto in C major composed in 1806 shortly after Ries completed his studies in Vienna with Beethoven, and the majestic Concerto in A flat 'Gruss an den Rhein', written twenty years later on his return to the Rhineland, which looks forward to the piano writing of Chopin.
By rf132501
Ries Piano concertos Nos. 2 to 9
The eight piano concertos have been a great acquisition; never before have I listened to such a fantastic performance. Superb is the correct term to classify Hinterhuber.more....
Ferdinand Ries (1784–1838)
Piano Concertos, Volume 1: Opp. 123 and 151
As one of the greatest pianists in Europe of his time and a composer of exceptional ability it is surprising that the name Ferdinand Ries is not better known today. Indeed, the neglect of most of his major works is even more inexplicable given his long association with Beethoven. In most other circumstances this would have prompted an exhaustive study of his music but in Ries's case this has not happened. One of the reasons for this may lie in his publication of an important book of reminiscences about Beethoven which has proved to be of such compelling interest to scholars that they have concentrated on it rather than his music. Of his own career comparatively little has been written. Over the years there have been sporadic performances and recordings of some of Ries's chamber works and, more recently, of his very impressive symphonies. The concertos, however, have until now remained curiously unexplored. This recording is the first in a projected series of Ries's complete works for piano and orchestra.
Ries's connections with Beethoven began in Bonn where his father Franz, a professional violinist and pianist, taught Beethoven. Ries, too, studied with his father and also received cello lessons from Bernhard Romberg for whom Beethoven later wrote his Op. 5 Cello Sonatas. When the electoral court was dissolved in 1794 Ries found himself without the prospect of a secure position and for the next seven years remained at home studying with his father. In 1801 he moved to Munich where he eked out a fairly precarious existence as a copyist while taking lessons with Peter von Winter. In October he left for Vienna where Beethoven, now well-established as a pianist and composer, agreed to take him on as a pupil.
During Ries's three years of study with Beethoven he acted frequently as his secretary and copyist which, of course, lent great credibility to his later writings. Beethoven did not teach Ries composition – for that he went to Albrechtsberger, Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral – but his influence on Ries's development as a composer nonetheless was profound. Beethoven also smoothed his introduction into Viennese musical circles first by securing for him a position as pianist to Count Browne in Baden, one of Beethoven's own patrons, and in organizing his début (as Beethoven's pupil) on 1st August 1804 at which he gave a performance of the C minor Piano Concerto, Op. 37, with cadenzas of his own composition. With the risk of conscription into the French Army looming, Ries returned to Bonn via Prague, Dresden and Leipzig and later travelled on to Paris having being turned down as unfit for military service. He languished in Paris for two years before returning to Vienna in August 1808 where he stayed for just under a year.
Ries's career seems to have finally taken off in 1809 and during the next four years he toured extensively throughout Europe. He was appointed a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Music in 1813 and the following year published an impressive set of variations for piano and orchestra based on Swedish national airs. The next eleven years of Ries's life were spent in London where he enjoyed a successful career as a celebrated virtuoso, teacher and composer. His father's former teacher, Johann Peter Salomon, who will forever be remembered as the impresario who brought Haydn to London, introduced Ries to the Philharmonic Concerts where he appeared for the first time on 14th March 1814. Ries's success in London was by no means assured as he was only one of several great virtuosi based there. Nonetheless, his playing was clearly of a very high order and impressed not only the public but also his fellow professionals. Camille Pleyel, son of the composer and publisher Ignaz Pleyel and himself an outstandingly gifted musician, wrote in a letter to his parents concerning his recent experiences in London:
'Yesterday [17th April 1815] I heard Ries at the
same Philharmonic. He played a new quintet of
his own composition. In the first part there are
some delightful things. I like Ries's playing very
much. It is mellow and yet often energetic. Ries
played on an excellent Broadwood instrument and
although the hall is quite large, I could hear every
note of the piano.'

much. It is mellow and yet often energetic. Ries
played on an excellent Broadwood instrument and
although the hall is quite large, I could hear every
note of the piano.'
Pleyel modified his opinion slightly in a letter written the following month observing that 'as a pianist he [Ries] plays very difficult things but he lacks the clarity of Kalkbrenner and the style of Cramer.'
During the next ten years Ries featured in the Philharmonic Concerts on a regular basis and gave premières of a number of major works including concertos and works for piano and orchestra. Some of these works have a very strong English association, none more so than the Grand Variations on the National Air of 'Rule Britannia, Op. 116, composed at Hastings in 1817.
In 1824 Ries decided to retire and return to his native Rhineland. As a farewell gesture he performed a brilliant new concerto, composed the previous year, which was published in 1824 as Op. 132 with the title Abschieds-Concert von England. Ries, who had married Harriet Mangean in 1814, 'an English lady of great merit and possessing many personal charms', was a popular figure in the London musical scene and in a Memoir of Ferdinand Ries printed in the Harmonicon around the time of his departure, it was observed that:
'Mr Ries is justly celebrated as one of the finest piano-performers of the present day. His hand is powerful, and his execution is certain, - often surprising. But his playing is most distinguished from that of all others by its romantic wildness …. He produces an effect upon those who enter his style, which can only be compared to that arising from the most unexpected combinations and transitions of the Aeolian harp.'

But his playing is most distinguished from that of all others by its romantic wildness …. He produces an effect upon those who enter his style, which can only be compared to that arising from the most unexpected combinations and transitions of the Aeolian harp.'
On his return to Germany Ries lived initially in Bad Godesberg, near Bonn, before moving to Frankfurt three years later. Although nominally retired, he took an active part in the Lower Rhine Music Festivals and his works formed a major part of their repertory during the 1830s. He was also appointed head of the town orchestra and the Singakademie of Aachen in 1834. During these last years he collaborated with Fritz Wegeler in the seminal Biographische Notizen über Ludwig van Beethoven published in the year of his death.
Ries published nine concertos, the first for violin and the remaining eight works for the piaNo. The works were numbered sequentially in their order of publication which creates some confusion. For example, Concerto No. 6 in C for the Pianoforte, published in 1824, is the fifth published piano concerto but one of the earliest – and possibly the earliest - in the series to be composed: the autograph is dated Bonn 1806.
The two works featured on this recording were composed twenty years apart and thus provide a convenient overview of Ries's development as an artist. The C major Concerto was composed not long after Ries completed his studies with Beethoven. The same year he wrote a Piano Sonata in C which, together with a Piano Sonata in A minor, composed two years earlier, in 1804, he published as his Op. 1 with a dedication to Beethoven. The C major Sonata represents a considerable advance over the earlier work and opens with a theme that has some similarities to that of the first movement of the concerto. Unsurprisingly, the imprint of Beethoven can be heard very strongly in both works with echoes of the Piano Concerto in C major, Op. 15, and the C minor Concerto which Ries clearly knew well. Nonetheless, the work is very different in some respects none more so than in the quality of the piano writing, which suggests Hummel rather than Beethoven in much of its detail. Ries's handling of large-scale musical structures is confident and although he does not develop thematic material with the rigorous concentration of his teacher, he invests the music with great interest and variety through sensitive reworkings, the frequent introduction of new melodic material and the virtuoso's flair for brilliant decoration. The lovely slow movement has a Mozartian poise and the striking opening with wind alone is a nice touch. The finale opens rather surprisingly with a cadenza before launching off into a cheerful, energetic Rondo that owes a good deal to the finale of Beethoven's First Concerto.
The Piano Concerto in A flat, Op. 151, was composed at Bad Godesberg in 1826 two years after his return from London. Ries subtitled the work Gruss an den Rhein, an affectionate tribute to the area in which he grew up, and the broad, gentle sweep of the first movement is clearly intended to depict the River Rhine. Although the movement is still organized along the same structural lines as Beethoven's concertos it inhabits a very different emotional world. The piano writing too is very different, looking forward to that of Chopin rather than back to Beethoven's great middle period masterpieces. The mood of serenity persists in the exquisite Larghetto, a movement that possesses an almost Beethovenian sense of gravitas, but it is dispelled at once by the ferocious opening to the finale. As in the earlier work, Ries prefaces a brilliant and ingenious Rondo with a dazzling cadenza introduced by the full orchestra. The movement demands not only a high degree of virtuosity and showmanship from the soloist but also an intelligent musicality to bring out all the subtleties and beauties of Ries's writing for the instrument.

by Bishop Robert R. Brown
Publisher:White Mane Books
In many ways, Robert E. Lee was one of the most paradoxical men history has produced. Though a lover of peace, he was a professional soldier, and loyalty and duty first to his country and then to the state of Virginia plunged him into the death and destruction of war. An overall foe to slavery, at times he appeared to defend it. Seeking diligently after hope, he was often the victim of despair. In spite of these contradictions, he never lost control of himself or succumbed to events which would have destroyed ordinary men. He deepened his trust, expanded his beliefs in a loving God, and was never nearer to God than during moments of defeat and despondency. That has made him the prototype of what countless people would like to be.This is the story of the pilgrimage of Robert E. Lee toward a full relationship with his God. Competent scholars have been dealing with the historic events of his life for over ten decades, but few have considered the inner spiritual forces which prompted them. As Thomas L. Connelly had said, they "have been content to describe Lee in terms of his character traits, and have closed the book on his inner soul.

Measure the bust and around the waist. This is the bodice measurement for the strapless top.
How to Make a Ballroom Dress
There are a lot of ballroom gown styles to choose from, including vintage Civil War looks. It is possible to make a ballroom dress without a pattern, but pattern manufacturers, such as Simplicity and Butterick, have some lovely styles. This project will be an eight-paneled strapless gown made from black velvet. It requires some knowledge of sewing, and dressmaking, if you choose to make your own pattern.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Dressmaker's paper
- Pins
- Marking chalk
- Scissors
- Black velvet
- Steam iron
- Sewing machine
- Black slipper satin to line inside of the bodice
- 2 bone stays
- 18-inch zipper
Measuring and Generating your Fitted Pattern
Take the waist measurement and quadruple it. This will be the fit from the waist to the flare of the floor-length skirt. The material will be in eight sections and cut on the bias.
Translate the measurements to a paper pattern, sketched on dressmaker paper. The bodice will be a rectangle, half the width of the bust, plus 2 inches ease, folded in half and placed on the fold line. The back section is half the bust measurement, plus 2 inches ease, placed on the folded material.
To make the skirt pattern, divide the waist measurement into eight for the top and draw a seam that gradually increases to four times the width of the waist measurement at the hem. Add an extra 1 inch on each side of the flared pattern for seam allowance. Draw this panel the length of waist to hem, plus 2 inches for the turned hem. This will be placed on the folded material so that you cut out eight sections.
Cutting and Sewing the Material
Cut the bodice from the velvet and also cut the lining for the bodice from black slipper satin. Cut the eight skirt panels on the bias of the fabric. This allows the fuller bottom edge to swing if it is on a 45-degree cutting line.
Pin the bodice piece and have someone help you make the bust darts. Turn the bodice inside out and put it around your chest. Pin the back shut on the seam line, Pinch the fullness of the material in, under the center bottom of each breast, and pin into a bust dart. Repeat with the satin lining.
Sew all of the darts in place. Use a wide zigzag stitch to attach the bone stays on the inside of the lining piece. Place the lining and bodice right sides together and stitch across the top. Fold open and stitch down the side seam of the liner over and across to the velvet. Complete seams down both sides. Sew up the back seam with a long running stitch. Hand stitch the point of both bust darts together to secure the bone stays. Repeat at the bottom of the bodice. Steam lightly, trim the seams and set aside.
Sew the four front and four back skirt panels together, seaming each section from hem to waist. Before sewing the last back seam, mark from the top of the bodice down 18 inches and into the skirt for the zipper insertion. Sew the last seam up to the marked point and then turn the stitch length to a running stitch as you seam up to the waist. Trim all seam allowances and lightly steam.
Pin the bodice to the skirt, right sides together, matching side and back seams. Stitch all around to secure the top and bottom of the ballroom dress. Sew in the 18-inch zipper, according to package instructions. Try the dress on and adjust the fit. Hem the bottom. Steam the dress before wearing.
